[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.
