Bonjour viewers, this is the time for appreciation of art.
Today, we're at the residence of the surrealist sculptor, Monsieur Dali.
Mr. Dali has been working on this project for the last 3 years.
Master, how long it will take to complete this?
Very soon.
What are you planning to work on next?
Something that no one will expect.
It will be my greatest masterpiece.
Well then can I ask this Monsieur Dali...
...how much is worth one of your works?
I'm an artist. Have a look at my art pieces on the floor, and imagine how much you would have to pay to buy my new piece.
100 million francs?
This one is 200 million!
350 million?!!!
Lupan, these are worth a few billions.
Let's steal them!
I'm not interest in these weird things.
Correct. I feel sick just by looking at them.
Now, let's continue our card game.
What are you talking about? Don't you understand "few billions".
We don't understand.
We don't understand this kind of art.
Just now...
...Monsieur. Dali's art pieces were stolen.
Look, someone got ahead of us.
And the culprit looks like Lupan and his companions.
Wh...what?
How do you plan to catch Lupan, Inspector Magret?
Lupan isn't a problem to us.
What is he talking about?
The problem is whether is it possible to recover the art pieces without causing any damage to them.
The honor of France depends upon that.
I see. You'll definitely catch him.
What about Monsieur. Dali's condition?
After a little rest in his bed, I think he will be ready for some questions.
Don't talk nonsense! I was here all the time.
But who is the one who stole them?
It was probably someone like Fujiko, who is a bit weird.
Forget it, Lupan.
No.
How could we just sit back?
That Magret guy, or whoever he was, have to learn to respect me.
How about my help?
No, thank you, Fujiko.
This concerns my pride.
I'll be back later to finish the game.
(Lupan Vs. the Mystery Man With Two Faces)
It hurts!
Have you found out anything, Zenigata?
No, but I found out that Surrealism is something that hurts people.
I see. Let's go visit Monsieur. Dali.
Who is it?
Inspector Zenigata from ICPO.
Monsieur. Dali, could you explain the details about the thievery?
How do we open this door?
You just need to put your foot on the green mat, and the door will open.
Opening!
That face, that body, he's a beautiful image.
He is so gorgeous. Très bien!
How about it Inspector Magret, Surrealism is something that hurts. isn't it?
Right here. Right here.
Please, come in.
Thi...this is?
Welcome! When I feel like working on the new art piece I like to sit like that and start thinking.
In other words, it's my conceptual sanctuary.
Ah, I see.
I almost forgot. This is a small token of appreciation.
You're too kind...
Can I take a look?
Help yourself.
Gross! You want me to eat white cream?
Do you hate it that much?
Of course! Those things look so average. Why do they have to be called white cream?
I see, he's got a point.
Those dirty things dirty the spirit of Surrealism.
Just by looking at them makes my body itchy.
Delicious.
You can understand what I'm trying to say by looking at this piece of art, gentlemen.
I see.
Mr. Dali. How did Lupan and his colleagues steal something as big as the Sphinx?
I'm sure you've seen him do it.
Inspector Magret, you haven't realized yet.
Lupan is a guy who makes the impossible possible.
Right, if it was Lupan.
Strange, looks like it was finished just now.
What was that Mr. Dali?
Too bad you just moved.
You wanted to kill me!
Huh?
What?
It's a phone.
Inspector Zenigata, it's for you.
For me? Who is it?
Yes, Zenigata here.
Is Inspector Magret near you?
He's Lupan in disguise.
Listen, do not let him know about it. Just bring him over to the cruiser located inside the sea cavern.
-You are?
-I'm the real Magret.
Who was it, Zenigata?
An old friend of mine, asking me for help.
By the way, Mr. Dali, this house is connected to a sea cavern, right?
Did someone on the phone tell you that?
No, just my intuition.
In that case, could you show it to us?
Right, we must investigate all possible paths.
You'll see it when you go down the stairs.
I prefer to stay here. You go.
After you, Inspector Magret! After you!
Why did we come here, Zenigata?
It's obvious, Inspector Magret.
Don't move, Lupan!
I see, that's what the phone call was about.
You didn't see through this simple trap? Looks like you're no match for me.
You see, this pipe is very surrealistic. Isn't beautiful, Mr. Lupan?
Inspector Magret, I'm very grateful for your cooperation.
Beautiful! Really beautiful face!
The beauty I've been searching all my life.
Lupaaan...
Lupaaaan...
What a surrealistic face.
This face is the most beautiful object in the world.
Tres bien! (wonderful)
This Lupan will be the best artwork I have ever done.
My work number 35, the human weathercock, Lupan.
You must surely rejoice now.
You'll become an immortal piece of art created by my hands.
Lupan, look,
this is the place which will transform you into a work of art. My best piece of Surrealism.
Can't let my important material get hurt now, can I?
You should bear with it for awhile.
You are going to be smoked in this oven for few days,
in order to turn you into an eternal piece of art, Mr. Lupan.
Success is on the way.
Is the commissioner here?
The commissioner has a lunch break.
Therefore I cannot let anyone inside.
Idiot! What are you saying? It's an urgent matter.
He can eat his meal anytime.
Commissioner, where did you hide Lupan?
What are you talking about, Zenigata? I didn't hide him anywhere.
Then who was that Magret guy.
An Inspector from the Paris police.
I'm asking about his background.
I can't quite...
This is his file.
His Nationality unknown, his education unknown, his family unknown, his last job unknown... He is a...
...fake!
That fake inspector Magret took Lupan who I caught at Monsieur Dali's house away in his cruiser!
What? Lupan is taken by Inspector Magret?
I got it, Fujiko.
Look for him at the Paris headquarters.
It's already the 5th day.
It's done! The best piece of art of this century!
Tres bien!
If Picasso had seen this, he would be ashamed of his artworks.
I think this is the best and most wonderful piece of art.
Time to fix him up.
It's my most important work, don't even scratch it!
Don't forget the flag.
Perfect! The greatest tres bien!
Wind come on blow! Blow to the weathercock Lupan.
The human weathercock Lupan rules!
Did Lupan really become a decoration?
I don't know. let's just wait until it gets dark.
Wh...what? The weathercock stopped against the wind direction! This is the real Surrealism!
Lupan, I'm so sorry you've turned out like this.
If I knew, I'd have let you kiss me whenever you want.
It hurts
What? That hurt!
What "what". Oh, If I had known?
I didn't believe you'd become an object, but how did you save yourself?
Actually...
I waited until Dali went back to the studio,
and then I jumped out of the case.
It was a bit dirty but...
I went inside a special heat proof balloon. I stayed in there for five days.
It was so bored.
Even though it was heat proof, it was really hot, and I was sweating like hell.
Look how much sweat and tears I lost.
It stinks!
Lupan, what about the food for five days?
Good question, Goemon.
I have never fasted, remember?!
There were pigs, salmon, and other animals trapped the same way.
However, I understood how dogs feel when they're told to wait even though the food is in front of them...
Look at this belly.
Amazing!
It becomes worse and worse with every word. Dali is the weirdest man I've ever seen
Don't think about it,Goemon.
Exactly.
Fujiko, what is this?
Why do you ask? It's your hand.
Then what about this?
The back of your hand.
What about it?
It's wrong to look at the front and back hand just as front and back hand.
Lupan, I think the same.
The truth is only one person.
Right, there is only one truth, humans love to eat white cream.
What's wrong with you, Lupan?
If you want to know, act as Pops and call Inspector Magret.
That Zenigata...
I don't think Pops will come.
Don't tell me...
Inspector Magret, you're actually Mr. Dali.
Who is it? Come out!
If you don't, I'll find you.
I am going to expose your real identity.
Go!
White cream!
Itchy! Itchy!
Help me!
-Fujiko, do it, now! -All right!
Inspector Magret, you're actually Mr. Dali.
Ok. let's wrap things up.
Wait for me.,Lupan.
Stop right here!
How could that be?
Pops, I'm counting on you.
Lupan!
Wait, you bastard!
I can't do that. See you!
Lupan, what to do now?
I wonder...
Hey, weathercock. How's the wind?
All right, let's sail with the wind.
That's the way.
Zantetsuken sword can't cut anymore,
and a fake Goemon appeared.
Looks like he's the culprit.
What secret does the sword have which even Goemon doesn't know about?
