Lupin III Part 3 Episode 45: A Toast to the Con Game
Anime Relations:
Lupin III: Part III
Only 5 episodes left, isn't that crazy? I got way to comfortable with Part 2 so this feels like I was going at supersonic speeds.
The guys are planning to steal a safe left by a prisoner. However, the bars at the Sante Prison are lethally electrocuted. Fujiko brings in a guy named Duran to assist since he has a resistance to electricity. They decide to have him help. They find the cell of the late Pinkerton to get the key and the safe, but while they get the key, Pinkerton's brother, Carlos, has the safe. Carlos tries to gun Lupin down for the key, but he won't give in. Zenigata and the police find the commotion but are caught up in a shoot-out between Carlos's men. This gives the gang a chance to escape. They may not have the safe, but Carlos is too dumb ever to figure out how to unlock it without it. They wonder where Fujiko and Duran are just when he comes in, disheveled. They were caught by Carlos's men, and Fujiko was kidnapped. Carlos gave Duran a letter that said to meet at an old construction yard. They'll swap the key for Fujiko. Lupin shows up and confronts Carlos. He asks him where Fujiko is so they can start the deal. Carlos is confused, saying he wouldn't sink so low to kidnap someone. Likely story. Then why did he leave a note about it? But Carlos can't read or write. That's strange. Well, there's still a safe and key that needs to be fought over, so fight they do.
Lupin uses a crane to take out most of his men leaving Carlos helpless, Jigen surrounds him with a bulldozer. Just as Carlos is done for, Fujiko surrounds them in a cage with the same electric bars. Goemon breaks them out. Duran and Fujiko made off with the safe in all the commotion, but she betrays him, wanting the safe for herself. Duran preemptively took out all the bullets in her gun so she was defenseless. He takes the safe to his own hideout but, after unlocking it, gets a punch to the face. The guys come in and say that you had to turn it the other, and gold spills out for them.
I feel like this episode was short. For that full 24 minutes, it didn't seem like much happened. The climax wasn't very climatic. I felt pretty underwhelmed by this episode, unfortunately. I was about to say the only real unique thing this episode brought was the guy betraying Fujiko, but that literally just happened in the last episode. So, I don't have a whole lot to say for this one; it's a really, really standard episode. That's about it for this one. Way to start our home stretch for Part 3 lol
