[02:00] Saint
    It's been one month since
    the calamity passed.
[02:03] Saint
    Word has it that a grand ceremony
    will be held at Buckingham Palace.
SIGN    A ceremony?
[02:09] Fran
    It's a festival to celebrate
    peace and pray for recovery.
[02:12] Impey
    Hey, that sounds like fun!
[02:14] Dracula
    A festival?
[02:16] Van
    You want to go?
[02:19] Impey
    I guess you're looking
    forward to it too, huh?
[02:21] Dracula
    N-Nobody said that!
[02:23] Impey
    Kid, you're trying too hard.
[02:25] Dracula
    Shut your mouth!
[02:26] Lupin
    That reminds me... We haven't
    thrown your party yet.
[02:31] Lupin
    Since your dream came true,
    why don't we all celebrate together?
[02:37] Impey
    Hey, Lupin, that's a great idea! I'm in!
[02:41] Impey
    When that day comes, Cardia,
[02:43] Impey
    you and I can celebrate with
    a hot, passionate kiss—
[02:47] Van
    Impey, if it's a kiss you want,
    my partner here is dying to oblige.
[02:51] Impey
    There's nothing romantic about
    kissing the mouth of a gun!
[02:54] Impey
    Hey, cut it out! Quit grinding
    that thing into my face!
[02:58] Fran
    Take it easy, you two.
[03:00] Fran
    Come on, Van, put your gun away.
[03:07] Lupin
    When going to a party,
[03:08] Lupin
    a true gentleman always brings
    a thoughtful gift or two.
[03:25] Saint
    Well, what a coincidence.
[03:26] Lupin
    Saint? What are you doing here?
[03:29] Lupin
    Also, that's for women, you know.
[03:31] Saint
    Of course, I'm aware.
[03:34] Saint
    Excuse me. I'd like to buy
    this watch as a gift.
[03:36] Guy
    Thank you.
[03:38] Lupin
    Don't tell me you're shopping
    for Cardia, too...
[03:41] Saint
    Yes.
[03:42] Saint
    It seems we all had the same idea.
[04:05] Lupin
    Those jerks...
[04:07] Lupin
    No matter how great a team we are,
    that's thinking too alike.
[04:13] Lupin
    I'll have to start over from scratch...
[04:15] Guy
    Hello there.
[04:17] Lupin
    Who are you?
[04:18] Guy
    I happen to be a peddler.
[04:21] Guy
    Can I interest you in one of these?
[04:25] Guy
    Please, pick it up and have a good look.
[04:28] Lupin
    A-All right.
[04:32] Lupin
    This is pretty valuable.
[04:34] Lupin
    It's out of my price range.
[04:36] Guy
    No, no. It's a gift from me to you...
[04:41] Guy
    to commemorate our meeting
    here in this town.
[04:44] Lupin
    Huh? What do you mean by—
[04:48] Lupin
    Hey!
[04:53] Cop
    It's him!
[04:54] Cop
    There he is!
[04:58] Lupin
    Scotland Yard?!
[05:06] Three
    What?!
[05:07] Three
    Lupin was arrested?!
[05:10] Impey
    But why?
[05:11] Leonhardt
    We're still looking into the specifics.
[05:14] Leonhardt
    When I heard the report from Yard,
[05:16] Leonhardt
    I rushed here to inform you all at once.
[05:20] Saint
    We appreciate your consideration.
[05:23] Fran
    S-So, what was the charge?
[05:26] Leonhardt
    It was...
[05:34] Leonhardt
    Theft.
[05:36] Van
    By a thief?
[05:37] Dracula
    That's his actual profession, even...
[05:39] Impey
    Well, it's definitely a solid
    reason to arrest a guy.
[05:44] Fran
    And why did it happen?
[05:45] Saint
    It may be that the search for
    a gift made him desperate.
[05:52] Saint
    We snatched up all the things
    he'd had his eye on,
[05:55] Saint
    so he ran out of options
    and stole from someone.
[05:58] Dracula
    Unbelievable...
[06:00] Impey
    I should have let him
    have that cooking pot!
[06:03] Fran
    W-We're not certain that's
    what happened yet.
SIGN    What's the matter?
SIGN    Did something happen?
[06:10] Impey
    N-N-No, nothing! I guess it
    was a little something...
[06:13] Van
    It's nothing serious.
SIGN    Okay...
SIGN    How about a snack, Sisi?
[06:24] Fran
    I just can't tell her.
[06:26] Dracula
    What do we do?
[06:29] Van
    Regardless of the circumstances,
     we can't stand by and do nothing.
[06:38] Lupin
    Sheesh...
[06:39] Lupin
    Sure, I am the beautiful gentleman thief
[06:43] Lupin
    who always gets his hands
    on what he wants, but...
[06:46] Lupin
    I didn't steal that jewel!
[06:51] Lupin
    I'll just have to find that jewel peddler
[06:55] Lupin
    and prove my innocence.
[06:58] Lupin
    But first, I need to get out of here...
[07:01] Lupin
    Stripping me down to nothing
    isn't gonna stop me.
[07:04] Cop
    Arsène Lupin!
[07:06] Lupin
    A package for you.
[07:09] Lupin
    Package?
[07:15] Lupin
    "Dear Lupin, we believe you are innocent."
[07:19] Lupin
    "You know what they say about
    fighting on an empty stomach,"
[07:22] Lupin
    "so I made you one of my special lunches."
[07:25] Lupin
    "Open it carefully."
[07:28] Lupin
    Carefully?
[07:34] Lupin
    What—
[07:39] Impey
    It worked!
[07:40] Saint
    It would seem so.
[07:41] Fran
    B-But, Impey, isn't this going a bit far?
[07:45] Fran
    You said it would just put
    a little hole in his cell...
[07:48] Impey
    It wasn't my fault this time!
[07:51] Van
    I doubled the amount of
    gunpowder, just in case.
[07:54] Impey
    Huh?! Oh, man!
[07:56] Impey
    I didn't expect to see Chef Van's cooking
    skills from hell come into play now!
[08:02] Van
    It'd be a problem if it wasn't powerful
    enough to make a hole, right?
[08:05] Impey
    That went beyond making a hole!
[08:06] Impey
    You're gonna make a door to
    the underworld that way!
[08:09] Fran
    I hope he's okay.
[08:11] Fran
    Anyway, let's just go get Lupin.
[08:14] Saint
    Yes, but in all this commotion...
[08:23] Lupin
    Jeez, those guys don't know
    how to show any restraint.
[08:27] Lupin
    Guess I owe them, though.
[08:29] Lupin
    Now to get back to Saint's—
[08:31] Cop
    I found him!
[08:32] Cop
    He's here!
[08:36] Herlock
    Sorry, but I'll need you
    to take a little nap.
[08:39] Lupin
    Y-You! Why are you...
[08:44] Herlock
    It appears you've ended up
     in quite the dilemma,
[08:47] Herlock
    my friend, Arsène Lupin.
[09:03] Herlock
    I'm sorry this cheap hotel
    was the best I could get.
[09:06] Herlock
    Hiding you at my office would
    go against my principles.
[09:10] Lupin
    Yeah, a detective could never say
    rescuing a thief was part of his job.
[09:16] Herlock
    Which is why I saved you
    as a friend today, Lupin.
[09:21] Herlock
    Now, let me explain the
    situation you're in.
[09:27] Herlock
    The jewel you obtained before you were
    arrested was no ordinary jewel.
[09:33] Herlock
    It was meant to be mounted in a medal
     the queen was to bestow upon someone
[09:37] Herlock
    for their service in the battle,
    at the upcoming ceremony.
[09:41] Herlock
    Someone stole it,
[09:43] Herlock
    and Scotland Yard had been
     hunting for the thief in secret.
[09:48] Herlock
    I was also searching for the stolen
    jewel at the queen's personal request.
[09:54] Herlock
    That's why I'm here.
[09:56] Herlock
    And I was just about to
    pinpoint who the thief was,
[10:01] Herlock
    but then...
[10:02] Lupin
    I was arrested,
[10:04] Lupin
    just when I was so politely
    holding on to the stolen jewel.
[10:09] Lupin
    No better proof than that, huh?
[10:12] Herlock
    To stage such an elaborate
    act to set you up...
[10:16] Herlock
    It must be someone with
     a deep connection to you.
[10:22] Herlock
    Does the name "Loup Noir,"
    meaning "Black Wolf," sound familiar?
[10:26] Lupin
    Wolf?
[10:27] Herlock
    They're a notorious band of thieves
    from France, your homeland.
[10:32] Herlock
    I've learned that one of their members
    sneaked into London this past month,
[10:37] Herlock
    while the city's political
    structure was deteriorating.
[10:40] Lupin
    Loup Noir...
[10:55] (Flashback) ThiefC
    Th-The safe!
[10:57] (Flashback) ThiefB
    He's... Arsène Lupin!
[10:59] (Flashback) ThiefA
    How dare you steal our money?!
[11:02] (Flashback) Lupin
    What part of this is "your money"?
[11:04] (Flashback) Lupin
    It belongs to the good people of this city!
[11:08] (Flashback) Lupin
    I'm going to return it to them for you!
[11:10] (Flashback) Lupin
    You can't call yourselves thieves
    if a fellow thief steals from you.
[11:15] (Flashback) Lupin
    Maybe you should consider
    a career change, Wolf!
[11:26] Lupin
    So yeah, that happened a few times.
[11:29] Herlock
    Not just once?
[11:32] Lupin
    Damn! They're still holding a grudge
    and looking for revenge?
[11:36] Lupin
    How depressing can you get?
    What a pain in the ass!
[11:39] Herlock
    You are very good at rubbing
    people the wrong way.
[11:43] Lupin
    I don't need that from you!
[11:45] Herlock
    Well, if you ask me,
    one is as bad as the other,
[11:49] Herlock
    but if their intention is to
    get revenge, I'll help you.
[11:52] Lupin
    Huh?
[11:53] Herlock
    You're a wanted bomber
    and prison escapee now.
[11:56] Herlock
    You can't be too conspicuous.
[12:00] Herlock
    Besides, didn't I tell you that
    it's my job to capture you?
[12:05] Herlock
    I can't give that pleasure to
    this hotel or some other thief.
[12:14] Lupin
    Fine.
[12:16] Lupin
    Help me out.
[12:19] Herlock
    Gladly.
[12:21] Lupin
    Now, there's one favor
    I'd like to ask right away...
[12:25] Lupin
    Do something about this, would you?
[12:27] Lupin
    It goes against my aesthetic sense.
[13:20] Herlock
    I bought some fine beans today.
[13:23] Lupin
    Fine beans, my ass!
[13:26] Lupin
    C'mon, how long do I have to
    lay low in this damn room?!
[13:29] Herlock
    I told you, it's risky for you
    to do anything right now.
[13:33] Lupin
    Yeah, but still!
[13:35] Lupin
    Can't I, you know... try to find out
     where those guys are hiding,
[13:38] Lupin
    or think of a way to hand
    them over to Yard, or...
[13:42] Herlock
    Right now, the best thing you can do
    is wait here until the time is right.
[13:47] Lupin
    Until the time is right?
[13:52] Lupin
    So I've just traded a prison cell
    for a cheap hotel room?
[13:56] Lupin
    Jeez...
[13:57] Herlock
    There's no rush. They won't go
    anywhere while you're on the loose.
[14:03] Herlock
    If they're out for revenge,
[14:05] Herlock
    it's unlikely they'll just sit around
    now that you've escaped.
[14:10] Lupin
    Still, we're completely stuck if
    we don't know what they're doing.
[14:15] Herlock
    The same goes for them.
[14:23] ThiefA
    Damn!
[14:24] ThiefA
    That little... Where is he hiding?
[14:29] ThiefA
    We'll just have to...
[14:32] Lupin
    Look!
[14:35] Lupin
    You'd better stop this! I'm not your maid!
[14:38] Lupin
    In fact, beat it! Are you just
    gonna stay here forever?!
[14:41] Herlock
    I thought you might be bored
    with no one to talk to.
[14:45] Lupin
    Then actually talk to me!
[14:47] Lupin
    Wait... I didn't mean I want you
    to talk to me or anything...
[14:51] Lupin
    Anyway! All you do every day is sit
    there flipping through newspapers!
[14:56] Lupin
    Seriously, clean up after
    yourself a little!
[14:59] Lupin
    You're just leaving your food, clothes,
    and everything else lying around!
[15:04] Herlock
    Finally had enough of
    waiting around, I see...
[15:06] Lupin
    Huh? I'd had enough of that ages ago.
[15:09] Herlock
    I didn't mean you. Look.
[15:13] Lupin
    "Massive theft damage"?
[15:15] Lupin
    Daring techniques... The culprit was...
[15:19] Lupin
    The gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin?!
[15:32] Boy
    Another theft at a fancy mansion!
[15:35] Boy
    The culprit is the notorious thief
     now on the run, Arsène Lupin!
[15:39] Boy
    Arsène Lupin has shown himself again!
[15:43] Impey
    It's all lies!
[15:44] Impey
    There's no way Lupin did this!
[15:47] Fran
    Yeah. It's not like Lupin to get his
    photo taken like that, either.
[15:52] Saint
    Is it a fake, then?
[15:54] Impey
    Obviously!
[15:55] Impey
    Just like the jewel theft that
    started all this! Lupin was framed!
[16:00] Van
    It's a baseless guess,
[16:02] Van
    but it does concern me that we
    still don't know where he is.
[16:05] Van
    There's a good chance he's been
    caught up in some kind of trouble.
[16:09] Impey
    For Cardia's sake as much as his,
[16:11] Impey
    we've got to find this phony and
    prove that Lupin is innocent!
[16:17] Impey
    Then the real thief will show up!
[16:20] Fran
    That's very optimistic.
[16:22] Saint
    No, that might be an excellent idea.
[16:25] Saint
    We should capture the fake Lupin.
[16:29] Saint
    Since we're after the same thing,
    we're sure to find him, too.
[16:33] Saint
    I can't imagine Lupin letting someone
    get away with doing this to him.
[16:39] Herlock
    Loup Noir must have grown tired of waiting
[16:42] Herlock
    since the police haven't found you.
[16:47] Herlock
    So they set a trap
[16:49] Herlock
    to lure you out and get their own revenge.
[16:52] Lupin
    If that's their game, they're about
    to get just what they wanted.
[16:58] Lupin
    It's a perfect fit.
    Good job finding all this.
[17:02] Herlock
    Well, of course.
[17:03] Herlock
    I'm not only your rival,
    I'm your number one fan.
[17:12] Lupin
    Well, then...
[17:14] Lupin
    Time to go wolf hunting!
[17:18] Lupin
    They'll show up in the
    middle class district.
[17:21] Herlock
    Now that you mention it,
     the previous thefts happened there.
[17:23] Herlock
    If they wanted to be seen,
[17:25] Herlock
    it would seem more effective to
    target the upscale mansions...
[17:29] Lupin
    Thieves are constantly calculating
    the risks of their actions.
[17:33] Lupin
    They needed a flashy
    performance to lure me out,
[17:37] Lupin
    but there's no point if they
    get themselves caught.
[17:41] Lupin
    Upscale neighborhoods are quiet,
    and the roads are too wide.
[17:45] Lupin
    It's harder to secure an escape
    route when you need one.
[17:49] Lupin
    But the middle class area has
     complex roads and alleys.
[17:52] Lupin
    It's the ideal stage, easy to
    hide and shake off pursuers.
[17:57] Herlock
    I see. It takes a thief
    to catch a thief, eh?
[18:00] Cop
    Over here!
[18:01] Cop
    Where?!
[18:02] Cop
    It's Lupin!
[18:03] Lupin
    Bingo!
[18:06] Fran
    He really did show up! Let's go after him!
[18:09] Impey
    Okay!
[18:18] Lupin
    Bonjour.
[18:19] Lupin
    It's been a long time, Wolf.
[18:24] Lupin
    Thanks for that exuberant
    greeting the other day.
[18:27] ThiefA
    So you've finally shown
    yourself, Arsène Lupin.
[18:30] Lupin
    Anyway, you actually think that
    disguise would pass as me?
[18:34] Lupin
    I have better taste than that.
[18:36] ThiefA
    I'm going to miss your flippant attitude
     so much, it brings tears to my eyes!
[18:41] ThiefA
    We're gonna repay you for what
    you did to us back in France!
[18:47] Lupin
    I know I said you weren't fit to be thieves,
     but you decided to become a gang instead?
[18:52] Herlock
    Very true.
[18:53] Herlock
    They don't seem cut out to be thieves.
[18:56] Herlock
    They're a bit lacking in attentiveness.
[19:02] ThiefC
    Brother!
[19:09] ThiefA
    Get them, boys!
[19:15] Lupin
    Wow, that's quite the big
    family you've got there.
[19:19] Herlock
    Don't worry. I will protect you.
[19:23] Lupin
    Who asked you to—
[19:28] Lupin
    Damn, you just get more and more obnoxious!
[19:30] Herlock
    Now, that hurts. I'm only looking
    out for you as a friend.
[19:35] Lupin
    You're a detective!
[19:36] Herlock
    That's exactly why.
[19:43] ThiefC
    Die!
[19:46] ThiefC
    Huh?!
[19:48] Lupin
    Looks like you're not cut out
    for a gang, either.
[19:50] ThiefC
    When did you take that?! You thief!
[19:53] Lupin
    Are you being serious right now?
[19:55] Herlock
    Well, well. I wasn't counting on it,
[19:58] Herlock
    but it looks like I can
    trust you to have my back.
[20:00] Lupin
    Shouldn't a "thank you" come first? Huh?
[20:09] Lupin
    This is turning into a real mess.
[20:15] ThiefA
    Wh-What?!
[20:18] Lupin
    This is...
[20:19] Impey
    Lupin!
[20:23] Impey
    Everything's okay now! Your partner's
    here to save... Wait...
[20:29] Impey
    Who are you?
[20:30] Lupin
    Nice one, Impey! Keep him there!
[20:32] Impey
    You're over there?!
[20:36] Van
    Are you my opponent?
[20:38] Herlock
    Oh, dear. You have my sympathy.
[20:48] Herlock
    That's not very elegant.
[20:50] Lupin
    You need to learn when to give up.
[21:20] Victoria
    My brave daughter.
[21:25] Victoria
    I thank you from the bottom of my heart
    for bringing peace to this world.
[21:41] Lupin
    That's...
[21:45] Victoria
    A medal would be unbecoming
    on a lady, would it not?
[21:54] Herlock
    Hello. It's been a few days, Lupin.
[21:57] Lupin
    Sholmes?! What the heck
    are you doing here?
[22:01] Herlock
    I heard all of you had been
    invited to the palace,
[22:04] Herlock
    so I waited here for you.
[22:06] Impey
    You really know how to make an
    unexpected appearance, Sholmes.
[22:11] Herlock
    Relax.
[22:13] Herlock
    This is a day of celebration.
    I won't apprehend you.
[22:16] Lupin
    You're too kind.
[22:24] Herlock
    For the beautiful hero who saved
    our world, with all my gratitude.
[22:30] Herlock
    To celebrate the one you love
    being proven innocent, as well.
SIGN    Thank you.
[22:46] Lupin
    Damn that Sholmes, pulling a
    pretentious stunt like that...
SIGN    I'm so happy, though.
SIGN    I can touch beautiful flowers like these now.
[22:59] Lupin
    Is that so?
[23:00] Lupin
    Still, I'm the only one who
    couldn't give you anything.
[23:04] Lupin
    I intended to get you the best gift
    of all and knock your socks off.
SIGN    No...
SIGN    Just having you here with me is enough.
SIGN    Better than any flower or jewel.
[23:20] Lupin
    Cardia...
SIGN    Lupin?
[23:29] Lupin
    There's just one thing
    left that I can give you.
