"I am Gordon, the computer specialist sent in by the FBI." "Good to have you here, Mr. Gordon." "We will be relying on you and this computer to redeem the reputation of our police department." "Do not worry, sir." "Since this computer can anticipate the intentions of any the criminal there isn't a crime that it couldn't solve." "No crime it couldn't solve?" "In other words, catching him should be no problem at all." "Zenigata-kun, did you hear that?" "Y-yes..." "With this computer, we will be able to catch him no matter what he does!" "Ch-Chief..." "St-still..." "Zenigata-kun, do you doubt the abilities of the computer?" "No, I'm just saying that leaving everything up to a computer might be a little risky..." "Mr. Zenigata, there's nothing this computer couldn't handle." "No matter who the culprit is, it will solve the crime in no time." "Even if it's Lupin the Third." "Feh, enough with the jokes." "If Lupin gets caught by a computer, what will that make us look like?" ""The First Move Wins" Computer Operation!" ""A plan to capture Lupin using a computer."" "Wh-what was that?" "!" ""The Metropolitan Police recently received a special computer from the FBI."" ""The capture of Lupin is just a matter of time."" "Couldn't be..." "I guess it can now, eh, Lupin?" "That damn Chief of Police..." "using machines to catch me now, huh?" "This is one challenge I can't refuse!" "Right, you two?" "Lu-Lupin, you..." "I gotta show them that their computer is nothing compared to my brain." ""To the Chief of Police:" ""I will rob the money train that leaves Tokyo on the Hagetaka line at 5:30 PM with 800 million yen aboard." ""Signed, Lupin the Third."" "It's going down just as expected, Chief." "Mr. Gordon, have the computer predict how he intends to commit the crime at once." "OK, I will find out everything there is to know about his plans!" "At 5:30 PM, the train leaves Tokyo Station on the Hagetaka line, and 30 minutes later, at 6 o'clock, Lupin will..." "At 6 o'clock, the train will encounter a red light." "The drivers, thinking there must've been an accident, stop the train." "Next, Lupin will with his allies subdue the drivers when they come out to investigate." "Disguised, Lupin will then board the train and continue the journey as if nothing had happened, and then with the cash being in the first car, he will separate it from the others." "Leaving the guards behind he then makes his escape." "And that's that." "I see." "Knowing this in advance, we can prepare for it." "According to the computer's instructions we must first move the money out of the first car, where Lupin is expecting to find it." "The guards from the second car will likewise be moved to the first." "You must be joking!" "Do you really think you'll be able to catch Lupin with such an infantile plan?" "Zenigata-kun!" "Chief, please!" "Give me the men I need!" "We'll ambush them at the scene of crime!" "Zenigata-kun!" "You still doubt the computer's abilities, don't you?" "No, I'm simply saying that if Lupin really acts as the computer has predicted we should move in to capture him the minute he appears." "In other words, we should have our men stand ready right here." "Zenigata-kun, don't you think that plans like that are the reason to your inability capture Lupin?" "Th-that's..." "Listen good!" "You're not required to do any thinking this time!" "Just follow the computer's plan, and you will easily capture Lupin!" "Isn't that right, Mr. Gordon?" "Precisely so." "The computer has taken everything in account." "There will be no oversights!" "To hell with computer predictions!" "I'll catch Lupin in my own way!" "Is Lupin really going to show up?" "Inspector Zenigata's orders were..." ""Lupin will appear in this area!"" ""Arrest him when I give the word!" That's the short of it." "5:20... 40 more minutes to go." "Mr. Gordon, it's time to depart." "Lupin won't be able to anticipate this trap." "He's no doubt keeping an eye on what goes on on this station." "I wonder how this little pilfering plan of mine is going to work out." "Zenigata will probably get on the train himself." "See that sheer vigilance and commitment?" "That vigilance and commitment will only make our job easier." "Do you understand what I want you to do?" "Is this really all right?" "I'm really not used to doing things like this..." "Of course it's all right." "They're only interested in the money." "Well, then..." "Inspector Zenigata, the plan is proceeding smoothly." "Well, we'll see if it'll be that easy." "It's Lupin!" "Got it?" "We aren't to take any action without the Inspector's say-so." "Make that light turn red, you say?" "That's right." "That's not a good idea, Lupin." "You should not know that the police will be alerted the second that light turns red." "Of course I know that." "That's what I got this for." "Relax, it's just a water gun." "With a pull of the trigger, special red pain will come shooting out." "I see." "Another 10 minutes until 6 o'clock, huh?" "Six o'clock." "Time to launch the counteroffensive, Inspector." "Right." "Standing by." "It's six o'clock." "Red... red light!" "I-it stopped!" "Just as the computer predicted, eh, Inspector?" "Now!" "How's that, Jigen?" "Am I skilled or what?" "I see, nothing less from Lupin." "Still, something's not right here." "What are you talking about?" "Well, since it's Zenigata we're dealing with here, this whole place should be brimming with cops yet we haven't seen a single one." "Suspicious, indeed." "He did not even exit the train even though it abruptly halted." "He just didn't notice, is all." "That just goes to show that the computer's got nothing on my brain!" "Now, then, let's go." "Jigen." "Still got the spunk to shout, huh?" "Goemon, you went too easy on them." "I apologize, I shall go put them to sleep." "Lupin's retreating." "Did they find out?" "What is this?" "Calm yourself, Zenigata-san." "But the computer said nothing about anything like this happening." "I can't wait any longer." "Zenigata here, Zenigata here." "Commence the capture of Lupin!" "Yes, sir!" "Attack!" "Aw, crap!" "Lupin!" "Freeze!" "I-Inspector!" "If we don't follow the computer's plan, Lupin will...!" "Shut up!" "I'll catch him in my own way!" "Lupin!" "Stop resisting!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Payback time, you bastard!" "Lupin, stop!" "After them!" "Move it!" "Some help here!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Ridiculous!" "This is sheer idiocy!" "Had we followed the computer's plan, we would've definitely captured Lupin!" "This is why I kept telling you..." "You shouldn't make light of the abilities of a computer." "Give it a rest, already." "Attention all patrol cars in pursuit of Lupin:" "Surround Lupin's car!" "Don't let him escape no matter what!" "Damn it, that bastard Zenigata..." "He's so persistent." "Fog is rising." "Hey, watch out!" "Eyes front!" "Step on it, we'll lose sight of Lupin at this pace!" "But I can barely see forward!" "Damn it, I can't see a thing!" "Go right!" "Idiot, go left!" "We're helpless in this fog!" "Should we ditch the car and run for it?" "Hold off, let's drive a bit further." "Lupin!" "There's nowhere to hide!" "End of the road!" "Come on out!" "That's the way!" "Bring them to me!" "Huh?" "Wh-where's Lupin?" "He was driving the car, wasn't he?" "Inspector, Lupin is..." "Lupin is not in the car!" "What?" "!" "Damn, he slipped away!" "Move it!" "Find him!" "He couldn't have gotten far!" "Whatever it takes, find him!" "I'll catch him for sure!" "Jigen, Goemon, forgive me, okay?" "That aside, that computer sure is something." "It actually went and predicted my plan." "I need to rescue Jigen and Goemon, but with that thing in the picture..." "Idiot!" "Zenigata-kun, just what did you think you were doing?" "Why didn't you follow the computer's instructions?" "!" "But Chief..." "No buts!" "I specifically warned you against this kind of behaviour!" "Yet you fell right back into your infantile routine!" "Inspector Zenigata..." "Don't you understand?" "Had you followed the computer's instructions we would've captured Lupin for sure!" "Still..." "Chief, we did manage to capture his accomplishes..." "It's not his accomplishes I want to capture, it's Lupin!" "I must capture Lupin!" "What I'm saying, Chief, is that Lupin will definitely come to rescue his partners." "And when he does, I'll...!" "Listen up, Zenigata-kun!" "This time you must do exactly as the computer instructs." "No improvising!" "This is an order of the Chief of Police!" "Yes, sir!" "Jigen, why don't you calm down a bit?" "How am I supposed to calm down, for crying out loud?" "It's because Lupin made light of the computer's abilities that it turned out like this." "Calm yourself, Lupin will surely come to our rescue." "Look here, Goemon..." "Don't you believe in the computer's abilities, either?" "What do you mean by that?" "Look, let's say that Lupin does come to rescue us." "Whatever plan he comes up with will be anticipated by the computer!" "He'll be playing straight into Zenigata's hands." "Meaning that...?" "Meaning this." "Basics Of Computers, Computers:" "The Science of the Future, Japan Computer Era..." "I must've read every book about computers in the existence, but it's much too complicated, I don't get it at all." "That this particular computer is specifically designed to catch thieves doesn't help, either." "The computer's predictions are accurate up to 99.9%, and there is almost no way to counter the computer's countermeasures..." "To hell with that...!" "What?" "!" "He will kidnap and impersonate me to gain access to the police headquarters computer room." "Then, he will pretend to operate the computer, while in truth doing nothing." "What kind of a prediction is that?" "Citing circumstances, he will have Jigen and Goemon transferred from the basement to room 405..." "Room 405?" "Why?" "Why is that?" "It is probably a trick to break free Jigen and Goemon." "Earlier that night, he will have park a truck with a trampoline attached to it below the room." "Then later, still disguised as me, Lupin will make his way to the truck." "Those two will jump down onto the trampoline, and they escape with the truck." "That's the gist of it." "However, Lupin will not escape us this time." "We'll envelope the trampoline truck, capturing him!" "This is the plan devised by Lupin to rescue his partners, and the counterstrategy for it." "The predictions of the computer are absolute!" "This time even you must admit to that, Inspector Zenigata!" "Right..." "Do you understand?" "Lupin, disguised as me, must be allowed to enter this room freely." "That is to say, you must follow the plan to the last dot!" "Zenigata-kun, there is absolutely no room for mistakes!" "Understand?" "Yes..." "Now, then, how should I go about kidnapping Gordon...?" "Lu-Lupin!" "I-is something the matter?" "Oh, he just had a little too much to drink." "I'm taking him out for some fresh air." "Oh, well, please do..." "This should be directly below room 405..." "All right." "Let's see... computer room..." "computer room..." "Working hard, aren't you?" "Inspector, Lupin just passed through the first floor hallway." "All right." "Ooh, this is it." "Mr. Gordon, Lupin will surely come to rescue his partners, no doubt about it." "Please use the computer at once." "Understood." "Hmmm, I see..." "Oh noes, this is bad!" "Lupin's plan is already in action!" "Zenigata-san, have the prisoners transferred from the basement to room 405 at once!" "Understand?" "Hey!" "Hurry up and take Jigen and Goemon to room 405!" "Yes, sir!" "Jigen!" "Goemon!" "Get out!" "Hey, just what is this about?" "It's a bit early for this, so perhaps Lupin..." "Look!" "Hey, just how does that damn Lupin plan on saving us like this?" "Ah, I see, I see..." "With this, all is well." "That fiend will burst in thinking his partners are still in the holding cells." "Therefore, we simply need to keep a tight guard on the holding cells, and we will definitely capture him." "Exactly right." "Inspector, have all available officers guard the detention area." "Understand?" "Team 6 in position." "The main force is to keep an eye out for his truck." "Stand by the armored vehicles." "Team 2, head for the detention area at once!" "Yes, sir!" "Capturing him is only a matter of time now, Inspector!" "Damn it!" "Lupin, you...!" "How arrogant can you get...?" "!" "Zenigata-kun, calm down!" "Calm down!" "But...!" "So far I've been able to fool the computer." "But what should I do next?" "I think I'd better... or maybe rather..." "Or maybe after all..." "Ah, the hell with it." "Let's just see where my intuition takes me, shall we?" "Lupin...!" "Don't, you'll blow it!" "M-Mr." "Gordon, wh-where are you going?" "Huh?" "Uh, just to the toilet..." "Go!" "Follow Lupin!" "Hold it, you...!" "The computer's prediction ability or my whimsicality..." "Which one will overcome?" "This battle has only just begun." "Lupin!" "Hiya, guys." "What's with the startled faces?" "So unbecoming..." "The note said nothing about you coming here!" "Whimsicality is the best way to counter the computer's prediction ability." "Go!" "We've got you now, Lupin!" "You bastard...!" "I'm Gordon!" "You're mistaken!" "I'm not Lupin!" "Grab him!" "That's the way!" "Give it up, Lupin!" "This is a misunderstanding!" "There's been some mistake here!" "I'm not Lupin!" "Inspector, we've got trouble!" "They're dolls!" "What?" "!" "All right, let's go!" "Why?" "!" "Why isn't the computer's prediction holding true?" "!" "That's simple." "People who have too much faith in machines are blinded to their limitations." "In other words, this was a human error." "Ta ta!" "Damn that Lupin...!" "He has slipped through my grasp once again!" "Plough through the red waves that wind around my feet" "The machine screams" "It's like a crazy morning light" "Walther P-38 in this hand" "The things that I hold in my hand they all disappear" "It's fate" "Lupin the Third"
