Lupin III is a thief who was born in France. He has a clear head, and he's the grandson of Arsene Lupin. He's bound to be patriotic.
Yes, he may be, slightly...
Pops?
Don't call me "Pops". I'm not your relative, Lupin.
Pops!
What is it this time.
Where are you taking us?
[solemnly] Stupid question. We're going to the ship with you in the cage and head for Japan. We've known each other for a long time. But this is your last trip. You've got a death sentence awaiting you there.
[Lupin, Jigen and Goemon are handcuffed to a tree branch by Zenigata]
Hey, Zenigata, what are you going to do with us?
I'm not going to do anything.
You're not going to do anything? What do you mean? Why won't you arrest us?
According to the findings from the ICPO investigation, three men suspected as killers are riding the airship Paradise, which is on a goodwill mission. One of the men is from America, one is from Britain and the third is from the USSR. And the target seems to be you, Lupin the Third.
Thanks for the information. But Pops, why are you going out of your way to help us?
[Zenigata says nothing, but turns and silently walks away. He stops suddenly]
I heard they have strange killing techniques. Be careful.
Now I understand why you showed us your capture technique.
[suddenly acting like a tsundere] You idiot! What kind of policeman would do such a thing?... Good luck anyway.
Good luck?
[smiling warmly] He's too nice to be a policeman.
[Zenigata wakes up underwater and surfaces in the Seine]
Good grief! Pops is alive!
Lupin! You're under arrest!
What's going on here?
No idea.
[hearing Truffaut's men] They're coming.
[The gang jumps into the river. Lupin knocks Zenigata out with a stick as he does so]
You play dead now, Pops.
[to Truffaut] I feel sorry for the officer you killed. His parents are still alive.
[in tears] He was my shooting teacher at ICPO! A very kind officer! That's why he used the tranquilizer bullet on me.
May I ask who this is?
I'm the man on this card.
[He presents his business card, which has the name "Kouichi Zenigata" written on it]
I'm Inspector Zenigata from Japan!
[He dutifully salutes]
I didn't ask the Japanese police to assist me.
[to the camera] Oh, I shouldn't have lied.
What were you saying just now?
Uh, nothing...
Alright, let's retreat.
This is... Mr. Dorogata, that's my cat! Please, search harder!
The name's Zenigata.
How could they sack you, chief?
It doesn't matter, Zenigata. I alone doomed myself. As a law keeper, I shouldn't use violence.
[Zenigata silently bursts into tears]
But if I knew this would happen, I'd have trashed that minister.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stopped you.
Doesn't matter. You must go on.
[imitating Oishi] Comrades of mine, our time has come!
Yes!
[Zenigata tries to bang the drum but smashes the skin instead]
Oops.
He's taking this act too much to heart.
Let's save him. [He plays the flute]
[still wrestling with the snake] That's the wrong end!
My bad.
I really ought to go there myself, but Pops is hot on my tail right now.
Grrr... Woof!
[disguised as a pilot] We're carrying too many people. One person has to get off or we're going to crash.
[fighting a thumb war with Zenigata] That's what he says. What are you going to do, Pops? I don't want to get off.
[also fighting the thumb war] I don't want to get off here either.
[disguising himself as a woman] Lupin has a weakness for women.
[He applies the lipstick. The white face paint and colorful clothes honestly make him look more like a clown. He answers his walkie-talkie]
Inspector, Lupin is here.
Alright, I understand. [He puts on a girlish voice] I'll be right there.
