GIVE ME THE POLICE STATION QUICKLY.

YES. THIS IS THE HOUSE
OF GOURNEY-MARTIN.

WE ARE BEING ROBBED.

DID YOU GET
A DESCRIPTION?

HE IS A TALL MAN.
HE HAS A LIMP.

WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS?

254 VICTOR HUGO.

MY CAR! NOTIFY ALL BUREAUS.

MACHINE GUNS IF NECESSARY.
I WANT 6 MEN ON MOTORCYCLES.

PULL OVER TO THE CURB.

HELP!

H-

WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?

I'VE BEEN HELD UP
AND ROBBED.

YOU HAVE, EH? THAT'S TOO
BAD, MR. ARSENE LUPIN.

ARSENE-WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU? ARE YOU CRAZY?

I'M THE DUKE
OF CHARMERACE.

YEAH. AND I'M
THE QUEEN OF RUMANIA.

STOP FIDDLING WITH ME AND DO SOMETHING.

ONE OF YOU FELLOWS
GET UP FRONT AND DRIVE.

WHERE ARE YOU
TAKING ME?

I'M TAKING YOU RIGHT BACK
WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

YOU CAN'T VERY WELL
DO THAT.

THE OPERA WAS OVER
TWO HOURS AGO.

YES. WELL, THIS OPERA'S JUST BEGINNING.

GO AHEAD.

ALL RIGHT. SEE IF THERE
ARE ANY FINGERPRINTS THERE.

WHERE'S MR. GOURNEY-MARTIN?

HE HASN'T RETURNED
FROM THE OPERA, SIR.

EHH.

DID YOU FIND ANYTHING
DOWN THERE?

SOME WELL-DEFINED
FOOTPRINTS HERE, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. DEVELOP THEM AND GIVE
THEM TO ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

YES, SIR.

NOW THEN,
WHAT HAPPENED?

I GOT HIT OVER THE HEAD,
AND WHEN I CAME TO,

A MAN WAS JUST
LEAVING THE ROOM.

WAS THAT THE MAN?

THIS IS IDIOTIC.
I'M THE DUKE OF CHARMERACE.

WAS THAT THE MAN?

I DON'T THINK SO, SIR.

HE LOOKED BIGGER, AND HE
WALKED WITH A LIMP.

YOU'D BETTER REMEMBER THAT,
MR. POLICEMAN.

HE LIMPS.

NOW THEN, ARSENE LUPIN,
I'LL TALK TO YOU.

WHEN YOU DO, TAKE OFF
YOUR HAT. CALL ME SIR.

I BEG YOUR PARDON, SIR.

DOES THAT
SATISFY YOU? HMM?

ARE YOU HAPPY
AND CONTENTED NOW...

ARSENE LUPIN?

LOOK HERE...

YOU'VE CHEATED ME
AND TRICKED ME

AND MADE A FOOL OF ME
FOR YEARS.

NOW I'VE GOT YOU
RED-HANDED.

HA HA! THE DUKE
OF CHARMERACE.

HA HA HA! "I'VE JUST
RETURNED FROM THE OPERA."

HA HA HA!

WELL, CROOK, THIS IS THE
END OF THE GAY LIFE FOR YOU.

YOUR NEXT OPERA WILL BE CALLED
20 YEARS AT HARD LABOR...

AND YOUR NEXT DANCE
WILL BE THE LOCKSTEP.

HA HA! 1, 2. 1, 2.
AND REPEAT.

YOU HEAR THAT,
ARSENE LUPIN?

OH, I BEG YOUR PARDON.

MONSIEUR HENRI PIERRE
DU CHARMERACE,

DUKE DE LA BASTILLE.

STOP MAKING SUCH
A FOOL OF YOURSELF

AND TAKE OFF
THESE HANDCUFFS,

OR TOMORROW, I'LL SEE
THAT YOU LOSE YOUR BADGE.

I'LL TAKE 'EM OFF WHEN I
HAVE YOU SAFELY BEHIND BARS,

AND NOT BEFORE.

VERY WELL,
MY FRIEND-

ONLY REMEMBER THAT ANYTHING
THAT HAPPENS TO YOU AFTER THIS,

YOU ASKED FOR IT.

WHAT'S HAPPENED?
CHARMERACE!

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

CH-CH-CHARMERACE?

NOT TDUKE
OF CHARMERACE?

NOBODY BUT
A DODDERING ASS

WOULD THINK
I WAS ARSENE LUPIN.

HERE.

ARSENE LUPIN?

ARE YOU SURE THAT HE'S
THE DUKE OF CHARMERACE?

OF COURSE I'M SURE.

YES, AND I
DON'T LIMP.

I- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY, YOUR GRACE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO APOLOGIZE.

OH, THAT'S
ALL RIGHT.

I PRESUME
YOUR STUPIDITY

ALL COMES UNDER
THE HEAD OF DUTY.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
YOUR GRACE.

GLADLY.

YOU KNOW,
THE JOKE OF IT IS,

I HAVEN'T BEEN ROBBED
AT ALL.

OH, REALLY?

NO! ALL MY JEWELS AND BONDS ARE
DOWN AT MY PLACE IN THE COUNTRY.

OH. THAT SEEMS LIKE AN
EXCELLENT PLACE TO KEEP THEM.

WELL?

THERE ARE NO FINGERPRINTS HERE, SIR.

YOU KNOW, IF I WERE YOU,

I'D GO DOWN THERE
AND GUARD THOSE JEWELS,

AND I'D TAKE SOMEONE WITH ME
- SOMEONE I COULD TRUST.

YOU WOULD?

I WONDER YOU
DON'T OFFER TO GO, YOUR GRACE.

YOU'VE BEEN SO HELPFUL WITH
YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND ADVICE.

I CAN'T GO MYSELF. I'M GIVING
A BALL TOMORROW NIGHT.

OH, I WOULDN'T DREAM OF
INTERFERING WITH YOUR DANCING.

OH, I DON'T DANCE
ALL THE TIME.

BESIDES, IT SEEMS TO ME
YOU'RE THE MAN ABOVE ALL OTHERS

WHO SHOULD BE MOST INTERESTED IN GOING-

THAT IS, IF IT
ISN'T TOO FAR.

OH, THERE IS THE LONG ARM
OF THE LAW, YOUR GRACE.

TRUE.

THERE ARE ALSO THE NIMBLE
FINGERS OF ARSENE LUPIN.

AHH.

HAVE YOU GOT THE DATA
IN THE LUPIN CASE?

I'LL HAVE IT FOR YOU
IN A MOMENT, SIR.

THE MAN WEIGHS BETWEEN
185 AND 195 POUNDS.

HEIGHT 5' 9"
TO 5' 11".

HE WEARS BROAD-TOED SHOES, SIZE 101/2.

THE FOOTPRINTS SHOW A DEEPER
IMPRESSION ON THE RIGHT FOOT.

THE MAN
PROBABLY LIMPS.

ANYTHING ELSE?

YES. THE IMPRESSION
SHOWS 5 HOBNAILS

SET IN A SEMICIRCLE
IN THE RIGHT HEEL.

WHAT?

NO. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

UH, CAN I LOOK AT THE CAST
OF THAT SHOE, PLEASE?

CERTAINLY.
HERE IT IS.

I THINK I'LL TAKE THE CAST
OF THE IMPRESSION, TOO.

PARDON ME.
IT'S THIS ONE.

THANK YOU.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

NOTHING, SIR.

GOOD MORNING,
GUERCHARD.

WHAT ABOUT
LAST NIGHT?

WELL, HE GOT AWAY
AGAIN, AS USUAL.

OH.

BUT IT WON'T
HAPPEN AGAIN.

YES. SAME OLD STORY.

NO. THIS TIME, I HAVE A
VERY GOOD DESCRIPTION OF HIM.

HE WEIGHS 190 POUNDS, WEARS A
SIZE 101/2 SHOE WITH A BROAD SOLE,

AND WALKS WITH A LIMP
IN HIS RIGHT FOOT.

IS THIS THE CAST
OF HIS SHOE?

YES.

MM-HMM. MM-HMM.
MM-HMM.

LOOK HERE.
LOOK AT THIS.

SEE THOSE HOBNAILS?

YES, I SAW THEM.

IT OUGHT TO BE EASY
TO FIND THAT MAN.

YES. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE A
GREAT MANY MEN IN PARIS WHO ARE LAME.

I KNOW. I KNOW. BUT LOOK
AT THOSE MARKS ON THAT HEEL.

I TELL YOU, GUERCHARD,
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS TO ARREST THE FIRST MAN
YOU FIND WITH A HEEL LIKE THAT.

OBVIOUSLY. BUT FIRST OF ALL,
I HAVE TO FIND HIM.

HOWEVER, THIS TIME, I
HAVE A VERY DEFINITE CLUE.

I'VE HEARD THAT
BEFORE.

YEAH. LAST NIGHT, HE TRIED
TO ROB GOURNEY-MARTIN'S HOUSE.

HE WAS AFTER THE FAMOUS
EMERALD NECKLACE,

BUT HE DIDN'T GET IT BECAUSE
THE NECKLACE WASN'T THERE.

IT WAS DOWN AT GOURNEY-MARTIN'S
PLACE IN THE COUNTRY.

HMM. I SEE.

AND THAT'S WHERE
I'M GOING TO FIND HIM,

BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WHERE
HE'S GOING NEXT.

OH...

IS IT?

WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?

YESTERDAY, THE PRESIDENT
SENT FOR ME

AND WANTED TO KNOW WHY I
HAVEN'T CAPTURED ARSENE LUPIN,

AND I'M PASSING IT ON
TO YOU.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU
CAUGHT HIM?

I WILL CATCH HIM.

I'LL GIVE YOU A WEEK,
GUERCHARD. A WEEK.

OH, I COULDN'T
PROMISE THAT.

I DON'T WANT A PROMISE. I WANT
ARSENE LUPIN HERE AS A PRISONER

WITH HANDCUFFS ON HIM
IN A WEEK.

I'LL DO MY BEST.

THAT ISN'T ENOUGH.

IT'S A STRANGE THING,
GUERCHARD.

YOU CAN ALWAYS CAPTURE
EVERY OTHER CROOK IN PARIS,

BUT EACH TIME YOU GO AFTER
ARSENE LUPIN, YOU FAIL.

YOU'VE FAILED
FOR THE LAST TIME.

UNLESS THAT MAN
IS HERE WITHIN A WEEK,

I'LL BREAK YOU.

AFTER ALL MY YEARS
OF SERVICE?

YES.

IN A MONTH, I'LL HAVE
SERVED 25 YEARS-

A QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD
TO MY PENSION,

GOING DOWN TO THE COUNTRY AND LIVING
WITH MY DAUGHTER IN PEACE AND QUIET

AWAY FROM ALL THIS-

YOU CAN HAVE ALL OF
THAT FOR ARSENE LUPIN.

OH, GIVE ME A MONTH.

IN A MONTH, HE COULD ROB ALL OF
PARIS, TAKE MILLIONS OF FRANCS.

I'LL GIVE YOU
A WEEK, GUERCHARD.

ONE WEEK.

REMEMBER THAT.

YOU LOOK ADORABLE
TONIGHT.

YOUR GRACE.

WHERE ARE THEY?

WELL?

HAVE YOU BOYS
REHEARSED THIS?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
THIS TIME?

IT'S TOO BAD,
YOUR GRACE.

IT'S AN ATTACHMENT
ON THE WHOLE HOUSE.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

I GOT TO TAKE ALL
YOUR PERSONAL EFFECTS.

HMM. YOU'LL HAVE ME STRIPPED
LIKE MAHATMA GANDHI.

YOU COULDN'T WAIT TILL TOMORROW,
COULD YOU?

YOU SEE, I CAN'T VERY WELL
GO OUT AND TELL MY FRIENDS

THAT THE WHOLE HOUSE
HAS BEEN ATTACHED

BECAUSE I OWE A FEW FRANCS
HERE AND THERE, NOW CAN I?

BUT IT'S HALF A MILLION, YOUR GRACE.

MY DEAR FELLOW,
IF I CAN'T PAY IT,

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHETHER
IT'S HALF A FRANC OR 10 MILLION?

BUT I CAN
PAY YOU TOMORROW.

HOW CAN WE TELL?

WHY DON'T YOU STAY RIGHT HERE
TILL I DO PAY YOU?

MAKE YOURSELVES AT HOME.
COME DOWN AND MEET THE LADIES.

OH, BUT WE'RE NOT
DRESSED FOR THAT.

OH, YOU LOOK CHARMING.
BY THE WAY, WHO IS YOUR TAILOR?

WHY DON'T YOU STAY HERE
AND HAVE SOME SUPPER, ANYWAY?

PLENTY TO EAT.
PLENTY TO DRINK.

I'LL GIVE YOU A ROOM
TO SLEEP IN,

AND IN THE MORNING,
I'LL PAY YOU. HOW'S THAT?

OH, HE HASN'T GOT
HIS NIGHTGOWN.

HMM.

I'VE GOT IT. YOU CAN SLEEP
IN YOUR UNDERCLOTHES.

EXCUSE ME.

HOW DO YOU DO?

BEAUTIFUL PARTY,
ISN'T IT?

YES. CHARMING.

THE DECORATIONS ARE
BEAUTIFUL, AREN'T THEY?

YES.

EVERYTHING READY?

I HAVE ALL THE DOORS
AND WINDOWS GUARDED

AND 4 OF OUR BEST MEN
HERE AS GUESTS.

SPLENDID.

THANK YOU.

STAY OUT OF HERE!

HOW DO YOU DO?

CLOSE THAT DOOR.

CERTAINLY.

WON'T YOU PLEASE GO?

CERTAINLY.

BUT FIRST
LET ME ASK,

HOW DO YOU LIKE
MY BED?

WELL, I DIDN'T MEAN TO,
REALLY. I WAS COLD.

OH. YES, IT IS A COLD NIGHT FOR MAY.

HOWEVER, DON'T YOU THINK PARIS
IS CHARMING IN THE SPRING?

WELL, I PREFER RUSSIA.

YOU SEE, I COME
FROM THERE.

REALLY?
HOW DELIGHTFUL.

I HAVE A PASSION
FOR CAVIAR.

WAS YOUR FATHER
THE GENERAL-

I PRESUME YOUR FATHER
WAS A GENERAL.

OF THE IMPERIAL ARMY.

YES. WAS YOUR FATHER THE
GENERAL FOND OF CAVIAR?

HE ATE IT ON PANCAKES
FOR BREAKFAST.

DID HE?

STAY FOR BREAKFAST.

WE'LL HAVE CAVIAR.

SIR, AREN'T YOU OVERSTEPPING
THE BOUNDS OF CONVENTION?

BUT, DEAR LADY, DIDN'T
YOU LEAVE THOSE BEHIND

WHEN YOU STEPPED
INTO MY BED?

OH, I ASSURE YOU, BEING
HERE IS NO PLEASURE.

OH, BUT THE NIGHT
IS STILL YOUNG.

OH, SIR!

PARDON ME. I, UH, I THINK
YOUR DRESS HAS SLIPPED.

I HAVEN'T ANY ON.

OH.

IS THAT A LITTLE
RUSSIAN CUSTOM? HMM?

WHO ARE YOU? HMM?

WAIT A MINUTE.
LET ME GUESS.

YOU'RE, UH... YOU'RE
THE BEAUTIFUL WIFE

OF THAT RED-NOSED OLD
GRAND DUKE ALEXIS. HMM?

NO?

YOU'RE THE STAR OF
THAT NEW RUSSIAN REVUE

WHERE THEY SING ALL THOSE
CHEERFUL LITTLE DITTIES

ABOUT THE FAMINE AND
THE SNOW AND THE WOLVES.

I KNOW-

YOU'RE HERE TO HELP THE
POLICE FIND ARSENE LUPIN.

HMM?

OH, NO, OF COURSE.
THAT'S ABSURD.

I'VE GOT IT.

THE DOCTOR BROUGHT YOU
IN A LITTLE BLACK BAG...

AND PUT YOU
UNDER A ROSEBUSH,

AND YOUR MOTHER FOUND
YOU AND CALLED YOU...

SONIA.

SONIA?

SONIA, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN MY BED?

I BROKE THE STRAP
ON MY EVENING GOWN.

IT'S BEING FIXED IN THE
NEXT ROOM, AND I WAS COLD.

AWW. POOR SONIA.

EXCUSE ME
JUST A MINUTE.

I HATE DANCING WITH MEN
WITH DAMP HANDS.

THEY RUB ALL THE POWDER
OFF YOUR BACK.

DARLING,
WOULD YOU PLEASE HURRY?

YES, MADAM.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

IT'S VERY NICE.
IT'S A LITTLE NAUGHTY.

IT'S VERY NI-

YOU THINK YOUR FATHER THE
GENERAL WOULD APPROVE OF THIS?

MY FATHER THE GENERAL
ALWAYS SAID THAT A GENTLEMAN

WAS A MAN WHO NEVER WENT
TO BED WITH HIS SPURS ON.

ISN'T THAT A PITY?

I'M SO FOND OF HORSES.

I COULD GIVE UP RIDING,
I SUPPOSE.

GIVE ME THAT DRESS.

YOU CAN'T
GET INTO IT ALONE.

THE MAID
WILL HELP ME.

THE MAI... I KNOW MORE ABOUT
UNHOOKING THAN ANY MAID IN PARIS.

YES, BUT I WANT
THIS ONE HOOKED.

I'M GOING TO STAY RIGHT HERE IN
THIS BED UNTIL YOU LEAVE THIS ROOM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WELL, IF YOU'RE
GOING TO STAY IN BED,

YOU WON'T
NEED THE DRESS.

WAIT!

IF YOU'LL...

PUT OUT THE LIGHTS.

I THOUGHT
RUSSIA WAS A COLD COUNTRY.

PLEASE. PLEASE.

I THINK WE'D BETTER
GO AND DANCE.

LATER.

WELL, NOW, REALLY.

HA HA!

COME ON.
WE DANCE.

WELL, IF YOU
INSIST...

BUT IT WON'T BE
HALF AS MUCH FUN.

THERE'S THAT FASCINATING
GOURNEY-MARTIN.

I MUST MEET HIM.

REALLY?

HOW PECULIAR OF YOU.

HOWEVER...

GASTON! JUST A MINUTE.

COUNTESS SONIA...

KRISHNOV.

HMM. PERMIT ME TO PRESENT
THE HONORABLE GOURNEY-MARTIN.

I'M DELIGHTED.

I'M VERY HAPPY.

SHE THINKS
YOU'RE CHARMING.

REALLY?

AREN'T YOU GOING TO
ASK ME TO DANCE?

CERTAINLY. CERTAINLY.

I DON'T DANCE VERY WELL,
BUT I'M WILLING TO TRY.

CHARMING FELLOW,
ISN'T HE?

HE'S A GREAT
FRIEND OF MINE.

DO YOU
KNOW HIM WELL?

INTIMATELY,
BUT INNOCENTLY.

YOU KNOW, HE'S COMING DOWN TO
MY COUNTRY PLACE AFTER THE PARTY.

OH, I'M SORRY. WE'D PLANNED
A LITTLE EXCURSION TOGETHER.

THIS IS A SECRET,

BUT I'VE BEEN THREATENED
BY THIS ARSENE LUPIN,

AND CHARMERACE INSISTS ON
COMING DOWN TO PROTECT ME.

SO MY LITTLE EXCURSION
WILL HAVE TO BE PUT OFF.

NOW, THAT WON'T DO
AT ALL.

WHAT WERE YOU AND
CHARMERACE INTENDING TO DO?

WE WANTED TO GO AWAY AND
HAVE A NICE, LONG TALK.

OH, I SEE. I SEE.

WELL, THEN WHY DON'T YOU
COME DOWN TO MY CHATEAU?

AND IF YOU
RUN OUT OF WORDS,

I'VE GOT
A DICTIONARY.

YOU'RE SO
UNDERSTANDING.

PARDON ME.
I'M CUTTING IN.

SONIA, AFTER ALL
I'VE DONE FOR YOU.

BUT I THINK
HE'S CHARMING.

GOURNEY-MARTIN,
CHARMING?

MY DEAR CHILD,
YOU'RE MAD.

WHY, HE'S BEER. STALE,
COMMON, HEAVY BEER.

OH, AND YOU? YOU'RE
CHAMPAGNE, I SUPPOSE.

HMM.

WITH THE HEADACHE
THAT COMES AFTER.

NOT AT ALL, SONIA. I'M A
SPECIAL KIND OF CHAMPAGNE

FULL OF SPARKLE, WARMTH,
GAIETY, AND INTOXICATION,

THE KIND OF CHAMPAGNE YOU CAN
DRINK ANY HOUR OF THE DAY OR NIGHT-

EVEN BEFORE BREAKFAST.

REALLY?

SHALL WE DANCE?

SONIA, YOU'RE ALWAYS
SO RESTLESS.

POOR LITTLE THING.

YOU CAN'T RELAX,
EVEN IN BED, CAN YOU?

ARSENE LUPIN!

ARSENE LUPIN?

50,000 FRANCS
REWARD.

COME ON.

ARSENE LUPIN, IN THE NAME
OF THE LAW, I ARREST YOU!

OH, YOU FOOLS. GET OUT!
DON'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY?

SO WE SEE.
SO WE SEE.

PUT UP YOUR HANDS.
PUT UP YOUR HANDS.

WHY, YOU IDIOT.

PUT UP YOUR HANDS.
I'LL KILL YOU. I MEAN IT.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
WHAT DO WE DO?

GET THE DUKE. GET HELP. THERE'S
ONE OF HIM. THERE'S ONLY TWO OF US.

DON'T MOVE.
I'LL SHOOT.

QUIVERING JACKASS.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING
EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.

OH? WHY?

WHY? BECAUSE I WANTED
TO CUT IN AGAIN.

HOW SWEET OF YOU.

I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T
FIND US.

SO AM I.

UH... WILL YOU PARDON ME
A MOMENT?

I'M AFRAID I'M NEGLECTING
SOME OF MY GUESTS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WE'VE GOT HIM, YOUR
GRACE. WE CAUGHT HIM!

WHO DO YOU MEAN?

ARSENE LUPIN.

WHAT?

WE CAUGHT HIM
IN YOUR LIBRARY.

YOU MEAN, YOU-

THERE HE IS.

OH, MY GOOD MAN,
YOU'RE CRAZY.

THESE-

GET BACK THERE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
YOU FOOL?

THIS MAN'S GUERCHARD,
OF THE POLICE.

WHAT?

THESE TWO FOOLS
THINK I'M ARSENE LUPIN.

THAT YOU'RE
ARSENE LUPIN?

WELL, OF COURSE,
MAYBE YOU ARE,

AND I'M THE QUEEN
OF RUMANIA.

I'M SORRY, GENTLEMEN,
AT YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT,

BUT THIS MAN
REALLY IS GUERCHARD,

ONE OF THE HEADS
OF THE SECRET SERVICE.

ARE YOU SURE?

OF COURSE I'M SURE.

THAT IS... OF COURSE
HE'S GUERCHARD.

BUT WE CAUGHT HIM
ROBBING YOUR DESK.

HUH?

WELL, LOOK HERE.

"WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE,
ARSENE LUPIN.

"50,000 FRANCS REWARD FOR THE
CAPTURE OF THIS NOTORIOUS THIEF.

"6 FEET TALL,
WEIGHS 190 POUNDS.

LIMP IN HIS RIGHT FOOT."

WELL, THAT IS FUNNY,
ISN'T IT?

I SAY, HOW TALL
ARE YOU, GUERCHARD?

I'M 6 FEET,
AND I WEIGH 190 POUNDS,

AND I LIMP
WITH MY RIGHT FOOT,

BUT I'M NOT
ARSENE LUPIN.

OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT.

HOW COULD YOU BE,
A MAN IN YOUR POSITION?

YOU'RE SURE YARE
GUERCHARD, AREN'T YOU?

YES, I AM!

THE ONLY REASON I ASK

IS THAT, YOU SEE,
YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME

WHEN I TOLD YOU
WHO I WAS.

YOU REMEMBER?

IF IT HADN'T BEEN
FOR MY FRIENDS THERE,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

DO YOU THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT
I'M SOMEBODY THAT I SAY I'M NOT?

OH, NO, OLD MAN. NOT
REALLY. OF COURSE, BUT, UH...

WELL, AFTER ALL, YOU DO
ANSWER THIS DESCRIPTION.

YOU WERE FOUND
RIFLING MY DESK.

HAVE YOU ANY, UH,
CREDENTIALS?

CREDENTIALS?

YES. YOU KNOW, A LITTLE
BADGE OR A LITTLE LETTER.

YOU MEAN YOU WANT ME
TO BE IDENTIFIED?

WELL, WHY NOT?
I HAD TO BE.

I CAN SETTLE IT
QUICK.

I'LL TAKE HIM
TO HEADQUARTERS.

I'LL NOT HAVE IT!
I'M ON DUTY HERE,

AND THIS PLACE IS THREATENED,
AND I'M GOING TO STAY HERE.

AFTER ALL,
THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU SEE, IF HE
REALLY IS GUERCHARD

AND ARSENE LUPIN IS TRYING
TO ROB THIS HOUSE,

WE REALLY NEED HIM HERE,
DON'T WE?

I'VE GOT IT. I'LL TELEPHONE OVER
TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE

AND HAVE HIM COME
RIGHT TO THE HOUSE.

YOU'LL TAKE HIS WORD,
WON'T YOU?

WELL,
I GUESS SO.

ISN'T THAT FAIR?

YOU MEAN, I'M TO BE KEPT A PRISONER
IN THIS ROOM WITH THESE TWO FOOLS

WHEN I REALLY OUGHT TO BE DOWNSTAIRS?

ONLY TILL WE FIND OUT
WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

I'M GUERCHARD!

MY DEAR SIR, IF YOU ARE,
I'LL APOLOGIZE TO YOU

AS CHARMINGLY
AS YOU DID TO ME.

YOU BETTER WATCH HIM,
GENTLEMEN.

AND BY THE WAY,
IF HE ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE,

PERHAPS YOU'LL
HAVE TO SHOOT.

TO KILL?

WELL, THE REWARD SAID
DEAD OR ALIVE, DIDN'T IT?

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME, OLD MAN?
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

GET BACK THERE!
HE SAID TO SHOOT.

NO. NO, HE HAS
NO CREDENTIALS OF ANY KIND.

IT WOULD BE
A GREAT FAVOR TO ME

IF YOU COULD COME OVER HERE
RIGHT WAY.

JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE.

DID YOU RING, SIR?

HAVE THAT SURPRISE CAKE
SERVED RIGHT AWAY.

IN ABOUT
A HALF-HOUR, SIR?

IN HALF A MINUTE.
HURRY UP.

HELLO. 10 MINUTES? YOU CAN'T
DO IT ANY SOONER THAN THAT, EH?

WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT, OLD MAN,
IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ANY SOONER.

THANKS. THANKS VERY MUCH.

JUST A MOMENT,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

DON'T BE ALARMED! THE LIGHTS
WILL BE ON AGAIN IN A MOMENT.

AS YOU KNOW,
THIS IS MY BIRTHDAY.

I HAVE A LITTLE SURPRISE
FOR YOU.

OH! OH!

WE WON'T
CUT THE CAKE YET,

BUT WHEN YOU DO, YOU'LL FIND A
LITTLE PRESENT FOR EACH OF YOU IN IT.

MY NECKLACE!
MY NECKLACE!

SOMEONE HAS
TAKEN MY NECKLACE!

OH! OH!

HERE, LET ME
OUT OF HERE!

GET BACK THERE.
GET BACK!

OH, YOU IDIOTS!

WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT,
SOMEBODY TOOK IT.

TOOK WHAT?

MY TIARA. SOMEBODY PULLED IT
OFF MY HEAD IN THE DARK.

MY NECKLACE! SOMEONE STOLE IT
FROM ME WHILE THE LIGHTS WERE OFF.

WHAT ARE THEY YELLING ABOUT?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

MY BRACELET.
I'VE BEEN ROBBED!

ROBBED? MY DEAR CHILD,
THAT'S TERRIBLE.

ARE YOU SURE
YOU HAD IT ON?

I'M POSITIVE.

I CAN'T
UNDERSTAND IT.

DID YOU FEEL
ANYBODY TAKE IT?

WHY, NO.
I WAS STANDING-

WELL, NO ONE'S
BEEN NEAR ME BUT YOU.

KEEP YOUR PLACES, PLEASE!
KEEP YOUR PLACES.

NO ONE WILL BE PERMITTED
TO LEAVE THIS FLOOR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
DOING? WHO THE DEVIL ARE YOU?

ORDERS FROM
HEADQUARTERS, SIR.

SEE THAT NO ONE GETS OUT OF THE WINDOWS.

OH, YOU'VE HAD YOUR MEN
HERE ALL EVENING?

YES, SIR.

MY DEAR FELLOW, THAT'S VERY
INTELLIGENT OF YOU. I CONGRATULATE YOU.

THANK YOU.

NOT AT ALL.

EMILE.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THERE'S BEEN SOME SORT
OF A ROBBERY, APPARENTLY.

WE TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS
TO SHOW MY BIRTHDAY CAKE-

WHERE'S GUERCHARD?

OH, THEN HE REALLY IS
GUERCHARD?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
YOUR GRACE.

GUERCHARD WAS SENT HERE TO SEE THAT
NO ROBBERY WAS COMMITTED. WHERE IS HE?

WELL, HE'S UP IN THE LIBRARY PRESENTLY.

GET GUERCHARD.

THE REST OF YOU GUARD
THE DOORS AND WINDOWS.

YOU SEE, THERE WAS SOME SORT
OF DOUBT ABOUT HIS IDENTITY,

AS I TELEPHONED YOU
BEFORE,

AND WE DETAINED HIM
UPSTAIRS.

HMM. I SEE. AND WHILE HE WAS DETAINED,

A ROBBERY
WAS COMMITTED?

SO IT SEEMS.

YOU'LL PARDON ME,
YOUR GRACE.

DID YOU SEE ANYTHING? DID
YOU FIND OUT WHO IT WAS?

NO, SIR. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT.
I COULDN'T SEE A THING.

OH, YOU BLIND FOOL!

YOU COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING
IF THE LIGHTS HAD STAYED ON.

I'LL TAKE CHARGE
OF THIS.

VERY WELL.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I REGRET TO INFORM YOU

THAT IT WILL BE NECESSARY FOR
YOU ALL TO SUBMIT TO A SEARCH.

THE GENTLEMEN WILL REMAIN
IN THE BALLROOM,

AND THE LADIES
WILL GO UPSTAIRS.

THE POLICE MATRONS
ARE ON THE WAY NOW.

MY DEAR GUERCHARD, I CAN'T
APOLOGIZE SUFFICIENTLY.

NOT NECESSARY
AT ALL.

NOT NECESSARY,
YOUR GRACE.

NOW IF YOU WILL KINDLY TAKE YOUR PLACE

WITH THE OTHER MEN
TO BE SEARCHED.

WHAT?

JUST AS A MATTER
OF FORM.

I HOPE THEY'LL BE GENTLE.
I'M AWFULLY TICKLISH.

WELL?

PERFECT. HE FOUND ME IN HIS BED.

I KNOW.
IT WAS MY OWN IDEA.

YOU TOLD ME TO GAIN
HIS CONFIDENCE.

SO DID YOU?

I WAS VERY CHARMING.

MM-HMM.
WHAT ELSE DID YOU DO?

I DID ENOUGH.

I DON'T DOUBT THAT,

BUT WHAT DID YOU
FIND OUT?

CHARMERACE LEAVES
WITH GOURNEY-MARTIN

FOR THE COUNTRY
TONIGHT,

AND I'M GOING
WITH THEM.

OH, SPLENDID.
SPLENDID.

NOW KEEP YOUR WITS
ABOUT YOU

AND WATCH CHARMERACE.

YES. AND YOU?

OH, I'LL LIMP A LITTLE

AND SLOUCH A LITTLE

AND LOOK MORE STUPID
THAN EVER.

I'M DOING VERY WELL.

GO ON UPSTAIRS
AND GET SEARCHED.

I TELL YOU, I'VE SEARCHED
EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY.

EVEN THE DOORS
WERE LOCKED,

BUT IN SPITE
OF THAT,

HE GOT AWAY AGAIN.

OH, DARLING,
I'M SO SORRY,

BUT, FATHER, I KNOW
YOU'LL CATCH HIM.

NOBODY'S AS SMART
AS YOU ARE.

I KNOW I'M SMART,

AND YOU KNOW
I'M SMART,

BUT ARSENE LUPIN,
DOES HE KNOW IT?

OH, COME ON NOW.

LET'S GET OUR HEADS
TOGETHER.

MAYBE WE CAN THINK
OF A WAY TO TRAP HIM.

OH, I'VE GOT A PLAN,
ALL RIGHT.

OH, I KNEW IT.

IT PROBABLY
WON'T WORK.

I BET IT WILL.

WELL, ANYHOW,

GIVE THE OLD MAN
A KISS.

WE'LL HAVE TO STOP
AND GET MY THINGS.

HOTEL D'ARBY
ON RUE ST-ROCH.

YES, SIR.

BUT, YOUR GRACE...

UH...

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY. I'M
AFRAID I CAN'T GO WITH YOU NOW.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF
DISTINGUISHED GUESTS I'VE FORGOTTEN.

BUT HOW ABOUT
ARSENE LUPIN?

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'LL TAKE THE ROADSTER AND
BE DOWN IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

I'M SURE I'LL BE THERE
BEFORE HE WILL.

GOOD NIGHT.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.

GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.

I'M AWFULLY SORRY. I FORGOT
ALL ABOUT YOU FELLOWS.

NOW, LISTEN. I'VE GOT TO
BE AWAY FOR 4 OR 5 DAYS-

MAYBE ONLY TWO DAYS-

THEN I'LL COME BACK AND PAY
YOU EVERYTHING I OWE YOU.

MEANWHILE, YOU CAN HAVE
THE RUN OF THE HOUSE.

PLENTY TO EAT,
PLENTY TO DRINK,

AND LOTS OF SLEEP.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU A COUPLE
OF GOOD TELEPHONE NUMBERS.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS?

HELLO.

IS THIS MONSIEUR GUERCHARD
OF THE POLICE?

IT IS ALEXIS PETROVICH,
SONIA'S COUSIN.

HUH? YOU KNOW, SONIA,
WHO WORK FOR YOU.

SHE WANTED ME
TO TELL YOU

SHE JUST LEFT FOR THE COUNTRY
WITH GOURNEY-MARTIN IN HIS CAR.

HUH?

OH, CHARMERACE.

OH. HA HA!
THE SILLY ASS.

HE'S GOING TO FOLLOW HER
DOWN THERE.

YES. HA HA HA!

IT'S WORKING.

WHAT IS?

A TRAP.

I SET A TRAP AND BAITED
IT WITH A PIECE OF CHEESE.

CHEESE?

NOT THIS KIND
OF CHEESE,

BUT A SMILING,
DAINTY, VOLUPTUOUS,

HIGHLY-PERFUMED LITTLE PIECE OF CHEESE,

AND THE MOUSE,
HE'S NIBBLING.

WHAT IS IT?
TELL ME.

HA HA HA!

MMM. MMM.

AAH!

WHAT TIME DID MR.
GOURNEY-MARTIN GET HOME?

UH, ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO, SIR.

AH.

YOU NEEDN'T UNPACK THOSE, OLD MAN.

VERY WELL, SIR.

I'LL DO THAT MYSELF.

I SAY...

DID YOU, UH, ATTEND TO THAT
CHAMPAGNE I TELEPHONED YOU ABOUT?

I'VE ARRANGED
EVERYTHING, SIR.

THAT'S FINE.

WILL THERE BE ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?

NO, THANKS.
GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

OH, BY THE WAY,

AT WHAT TIME DOES MR. GOURNEY-MARTIN
HAVE BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING?

ABOUT 9:00, SIR.

THANKS.

OH.

HANDS UP!

GOURNEY-MARTIN!

CHARMERACE.

WELL, WHEN DID YOU
GET DOWN?

JUST A FEW
MINUTES AGO.

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT
YOU WERE ARSENE LUPIN.

HA HA HA! AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE!

YOU, UH, APPEAR TO BE
ROBBING YOUR OWN SAFE.

NO, NO, NO.

YOU SEE, I HAVE A LOT OF BONDS IN THERE,

AND I WAS
A BIT NERVOUS-

BONDS THEY SAY
I GOT ILLEGALLY,

BUT NEVERTHELESS, YOU
KNOW, I WANT TO KEEP THEM.

I DON'T BLAME YOU.

THAT'S A FUNNY-LOOKING
SAFE YOU'VE GOT THERE.

IT, UH, HAS NO
COMBINATION.

NO, IT HASN'T.
OPEN IT.

WHAT?

GO ON. OPEN IT.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

OW!

HA HA HA!

THAT'S THE ELECTRIC
CURRENT.

TRY TO GET AWAY.

DAMN IT, I CAN'T.

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA.
I CONGRATULATE YOU.

OW! THAT HURTS!

DOESN'T IT?

YES.

CAN'T YOU GET
YOUR HAND AWAY?

NO, I CAN'T. WAIT TILL
I TURN OFF THE SWITCH.

HA HA HA!

WELL...

I'M PRETTY WELL-PROTECTED AGAINST
OUR FRIEND LUPIN, DON'T YOU THINK?

I SHOULD SAY SO.

YOU KNOW, YOU'D BE JUST AS
WELL OFF IF I WEREN'T HERE.

YEAH?

I'M DELIGHTED
THAT YOU CAME DOWN.

I APPRECIATE IT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
OLD MAN.

I THINK IT'S ALL
RATHER FUN.

FUN? WELL, I'M GLAD
YOU'RE ENJOYING IT.

MY DEAR FELLOW, I WAS NOT ONLY AMUSED,

BUT INSTRUCTED.

WOULD YOU HAVE
A DRINK BEFORE YOU GO TO BED?

NO, THANKS,
OLD MAN.

WELL, GOOD NIGHT.
SEE YOU AT BREAKFAST.

GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.

SONIA-
ASLEEP AND HELPLESS.

NOT THAT WAY, DARLING.
THIS WAY.

WHOA.

I MUSTN'T
FRIGHTEN HER.

I'LL WAKE HER
VERY GENTLY.

SHE'S NOT ASLEEP.
SHE'S DEAD.

IT BEATS.

I THINK IT BEATS.

DARLING...

I HATE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF YOU

IN YOUR HELPLESS
CONDITION,

BUT, YOU KNOW,
THERE'S ONE THING

THAT'S NEVER
FAILED YET,

SOMETHING THAT'LL MAKE THE
BLOOD RUN THROUGH YOUR VEINS

AND LITTLE SHIVERS GO
UP AND DOWN YOUR SPINE.

IF YOU SLEEP THROUGH WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO TO YOU,

YOU'RE NOT THE WOMAN
I THINK YOU ARE.

OH!

BUT, GUERCHARD, ARSENE
LUPIN MUST BE HERE.

WHEN I WOKE UP
THIS MORNING,

THERE WAS THIS BEAUTIFUL
DIAMOND BRACELET IN MY ROOM

AND THIS NOTE-

EXCUSE ME.

"MY DEAR COUNTESS,

"LOVELY LADIES SHOULDN'T
WEAR FALSE JEWELRY.

"I TOOK FROM YOU
LAST NIGHT

WITH SOMETHING MORE
WORTHY OF YOUR BEAUTY."

AND IT'S SIGNED
"ARSENE LUPIN."

IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO?

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

AND KEEP IN TOUCH
WITH ME HERE.

ALL RIGHT. I WILL.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY ANCESTORS?

HMM. ARE THESE ALL
YOUR ANCESTORS?

WELL, I BOUGHT THEM.

THAT MAKES THEM MINE,
DOESN'T IT?

THAT'S ONE WAY
OF GETTING THEM.

THAT'S WHERE IT HUNG.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU
COVERED THAT UP?

YOU KNOW, THE PAINTING THAT HUNG THERE

WAS THE MOST VALUABLE
PAINTING IN FRANCE,

WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE MONA LISA.

I LEFT THE NAME THERE
TO REMIND ME.

YOU KNOW, THAT FELLOW WROTE TO
ME AND TOLD ME TO SHIP IT TO HIM,

AND WHEN I DIDN'T,
IT DISAPPEARED.

HUH. THAT'S EXTRAORDINARY, ISN'T IT?

I WAS STANDING RIGHT HERE
LOOKING AT THAT PAINTING

WHEN MY BUTLER
HANDED ME A LETTER.

UH, PARDON ME, SIR,

BUT THE MESSENGER SAID
THIS WAS IMPORTANT.

STRANGE.

THAT'S THE SAME PECULIAR
TYPE OF ENVELOPE.

HERE. YOU READ IT FOR
ME, WILL YOU, PLEASE?

I HAVEN'T MY GLASSES.

WELL? WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

IT ISN'T
VERY POLITE.

NEVER MIND
THE POLITENESS.

WHAT DOES HE SAY?

"GOURNEY-MARTIN,

"YOU MADE MILLIONS IN WAR
PROFITS WHEN MEN WERE DYING.

YOU'VE STOLEN FROM
WIDOWS AND ORPHANS."

OH, YOU COULDN'T
HAVE DONE THAT.

OF COURSE NOT.
WHAT ELSE DOES HE SAY?

"YOU'VE HAD ALL THIS
MONEY LONG ENOUGH.

"I'M GOING TO TAKE YOUR
JEWELS AND YOUR PAINTINGS.

"I'LL CALL FOR THEM
AT MIDNIGHT.

"PLEASE
HAVE THEM PACKED.

ARSENE LUPIN."

HAVE THEM PACKED? HE'S
GOING TO ROB ME AGAIN?

YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T
TAKE THIS TOO LIGHTLY

IF I WERE YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU SEND FOR THE LOCAL POLICE?

WE HAVE NO LOCAL POLICE.

I'LL SEND FOR GUERCHARD.
THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

TELL HIM TO SEND AN
OFFICER AND 4 OR 5 MEN.

YOU'LL WANT
THE HOUSE, UH,

PRACTICALLY
SURROUNDED.

IT'S GOOD OF YOU TO TAKE
SUCH AN INTEREST IN THIS.

WELL,
MY DEAR CHILD,

WE'RE ALL
INTERESTED.

PERSONALLY, I CAN'T THINK
OF ANYTHING MORE AMUSING

THAN CATCHING
ARSENE LUPIN.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE
TO CATCH HIM?

YES.

I THINK SO.

YES, I WOULD.

WELL, CAN'T YOU
MAKE UP YOUR MIND?

WELL, I-

GESUNDHEIT.

12:00. MAYBE HE'S NOT COMING.

I WOULDN'T BE
TOO SURE OF THAT.

I'VE ALWAYS HEARD ARSENE
LUPIN KEPT HIS APPOINTMENTS.

WHO SHALL I SAY
WANTS TO SEE HIM?

NEVER MIND.
I'LL GO RIGHT IN.

GOOD EVENING.
I'M SORRY TO BE LATE.

WELL, GUERCHARD, YOU SCARED US TO DEATH.

WE THOUGHT YOU WERE
ARSENE LUPIN.

YOU'RE NOT, ARE YOU?

NI'M NOT.

UH, ANYTHING HAPPEN?

NO, NOT YET, BUT YOUR MEN ARE ALL HERE.

YES. THEY'RE ALL
OVER THE PLACE.

I'VE POSTED THEM
MYSELF.

OH, SPLENDID. SPLENDID.

OH, BY THE WAY,

COUNTESS
KRISHNOV,

PERMIT ME
TO PRESENT

PROBABLY THE GREATEST THIEF-TAKER

IN THE ENTIRE
WORLD-

MR. GUERCHARD
OF THE POLICE.

I'M CHARMED.

HOW DO YOU DO?

HAVE YOU LOCKED UP
YOUR EMERALD NECKLACE

AND YOUR OTHER
VALUABLES?

YES.

WHERE?

IN MY SAFE THERE.

OH, EXCELLENT.

UH, WELL, I'LL GET BACK
TO PARIS THEN.

UM, I'LL SEE YOU ALL
IN THE MORNING.

AREN'T YOU
GOING TO STAY?

NO, NO.
NO NEED FOR IT AT ALL.

MY MEN ARE ALL HERE.

DO YOU, UH, WANT TO GO
BACK TO YOUR SOLITAIRE,

OR WOULD YOU PREFER SOMETHING
THAT REQUIRES TWO PEOPLE?

LET ME HAVE
THE KEY

OF THE FRONT DOOR,
WILL YOU, PLEASE?

WHAT FOR?

DON'T QUESTION
MY MOTIVES.

JUST LET ME HAVE IT,
PLEASE.

THAT'S IT.

NO ONE.

I- I UNDERSTAND.

CHARMERACE-
ASLEEP AND HELPLESS.

HE'S NOT ASLEEP.
HE'S DEAD.

POOR MAN. SOMETHING
MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S ONE THING
THAT HAS NEVER FAILED.

NEVER MIND THAT.

IDIOT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

SHH.

Just a minute.

What have you got?

Loot.

What?

Why not?

YOU DON'T EXPECT ME
TO HIDE IT FOR YOU?

WELL, NOT ALONE.

WE'LL DO IT
TOGETHER.

I'VE BEEN ROBBING
THE ICEBOX.

I'M STARVING TO DEATH, AREN'T YOU?

FAMISHED.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY
A CHARMING BRACELET.

YES. IT-IT DOES
SUIT ME, DOESN'T IT?

PERFECTLY.

I MUST SAY THAT FELLOW
LUPIN HAS EXCELLENT TASTE.

HASN'T HE?

OH, I'D LOVE
TO MEET HIM,

BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK
I'D BE A LITTLE AFRAID.

WHY?

WELL, AFRAID THAT I MIGHT
NOT BE ABLE TO RESIST HIM.

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL
THAT WAY ABOUT IT?

WELL, THERE'S-THERE'S SOMETHING
EXCITING ABOUT ARSENE LUPIN,

BUT OF COURSE A MAN LIKE
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK I COULD HAVE
AN OPEN MIND ABOUT THAT.

HE'S A PECULIAR
CHARACTER.

I SUPPOSE HE'D
STEAL FROM ANYBODY.

POSSIBLY.

BUT I DON'T THINK HE'D EVER
TAKE ANYTHING FROM A WOMAN

THAT SHE WASN'T
WILLING TO GIVE.

NO.

I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY
RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

HMM.

GOOD NIGHT, SONIA.

YOU'RE GOING?

GOOD NIGHT.

WAIT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING TO BED.

WHERE DOES ONE USUALLY
GO AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT?

ARE-ARE YOU QUITE SURE
YOU'RE GOING TO BED?

WHY, OF COURSE.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

WHAT ARE YOU
SHAKING ABOUT?

I'M AFRAID FOR YOU.

WELL, WHAT COULD
HAPPEN TO ME?

I'M AFRAID YOU MIGHT
GO DOWNSTAIRS

AND THEY'D MISTAKE YOU
FOR ARSENE LUPIN.

OH.

SONIA,
YOU'RE A DARLING.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THERE
ISN'T MORE DANGER HERE

THAN ANYWHERE ELSE
IN THE WORLD?

HERE?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOW,
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

IS A LITTLE BIT
DANGEROUS, SONIA.

I RECOGNIZED THAT THE
FIRST TIME I SAW YOU,

BUT I COULDN'T DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT AT ALL.

I TRIED TO,
BUT I COULDN'T.

WHAT-WHAT POSSIBLE DANGER
COULD YOU BE IN WITH ME?

YOUR EYES,
FOR INSTANCE.

ARE YOU AFRAID THEY
MIGHT SEE TOO MUCH?

WE COULD CLOSE THEM,
PERHAPS.

AND YOUR MOUTH.

ARE YOU AFRAID IT
MIGHT TELL TOO MUCH?

NO...

BUT IT'S DANGEROUS.

I WONDER IF ARSENE
LUPIN WOULD BE AFRAID.

YOU KNOW, I NEVER HEARD HE WAS A COWARD.

HELP! HELP! POLICE!

HELP! HELP! POLICE!

WHERE ARE
THOSE POLICE?

LOOK!
I'VE BEEN ROBBED!

LOOK! THEY'VE TAKEN
ALL THE GOOD ONES

AND LEFT THE FAKES!

WHERE WERE YOU?

WHERE WERE
THE POLICE?

WE'LL FIND OUT.

POLICE! POLICE!

WHERE ARE THOSE POLICE?

IT'S NO USE.
THEY'VE GONE.

GONE?

YOU MEAN THEY'VE STOLEN
YOUR POLICE, TOO?

HA HA HA!

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

ARE YOU CRAZY?

LOOK.

WELL, WHO ARE THEY?

WELL, SERGEANT,
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

MR. GUERCHARD,
I WAS NEVER SO HUMILIATED.

WE WERE ENJOYING A LITTLE
BOTTLE OF WINE ON OUR WAY HERE,

AND THE NEXT THING
WE KNEW,

WE WOKE UP IN THE BUSHES
UNDER THE BRIDGE.

WELL, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT IT.

YOUR CLOTHES WILL BE
HERE IN A MINUTE.

WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT?

AH.

THERE THEY ARE NOW,
SERGEANT.

COME ON.
GET OUT AND LINE UP.

COME ON. LINE UP HERE.

WELL, ODILLE, DID YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE?

NO, SIR. WE CAUGHT THEM
JUST AS YOU SAID WE WOULD.

ALL RIGHT. BRING THEM INTO THE HOUSE.

I WANT TO TALK
TO THEM.

WHAT'S THE-WHY-

NOW, YOUR PICTURES
WILL BE IN THE GALLERY

IN HALF AN HOUR.

ALL RIGHT. COME ON.

MY DEAR FELLOW, THOSE MEN
ON GUARD HERE LAST NIGHT

WEREN'T OUR MEN.

NO?

NO. THEY WERE
ARSENE LUPIN'S.

OH.

CERTAINLY.

MY OFFICERS COMPLETELY
SURROUNDED THE ESTATE.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE
CLEVEREST WAY OF CATCHING THEM.

OH! LOOK!

ROBBED AFTER ALL!
ROBBED AFTER ALL!

COULDN'T HAVE
HAPPENED.

COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED,
I TELL YOU.

I WASN'T OUT OF THE PLACE 10 MINUTES.

WELL, OF COURSE
IT COULDN'T HAPPEN.

OF COURSE
IT COULDN'T.

THE SAFE
OPENED ITSELF,

AND ALL MY BONDS AND MY
JEWELS JUST BLEW AWAY!

STOP YELLING THAT WAY.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD
THIS TRICK SAFE?

ABOUT A MONTH.

ANYBODY KNOW
HOW TO OPEN IT?

NO. NOBODY.
JUST I, MYSELF.

OH, WAIT A MINUTE.

CHARMERACE.

CHARMERACE?

YEAH. HE SAW ME SWITCH OFF THE CURRENT

AND OPEN
THE SAFE.

ODILLE!

YES, SIR.

UH, GO UPSTAIRS AND ASK
THE DUKE OF CHARMERACE

TO COME DOWN
AT ONCE.

YES, SIR.

AND WAIT
A MINUTE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE
AT ALL, BRING HIM DOWN.

YES, SIR.

YOUR GRACE.

YOUR GRACE.

WELL, DUVALL, THE LAST TIME,
YOU DID 3 YEARS FOR BURGLARY.

WHO'S YOUR BOSS NOW?

UH, I DON'T KNOW,
HONESTLY.

I WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT IN MY OWN HOUSE

AND WOKE UP RIGHT HERE IN THESE CLOTHES.

AH.

OH, LEROUX.

YOU DID 5 YEARS FOR
HOUSEBREAKING IN MARSEILLES.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
DOWN HERE?

CAME DOWN HERE TO
SEE MY GRANDMOTHER.

SHE'S EXPECTING
A LITTLE ONE,

AND I WANTED
TO BE HERE.

NOW, IF THEY
WON'T TALK-

KEEP OUT OF THIS.

I'LL ATTEND TO THIS.

WELL, CONSTANTINE,

YOU HAVEN'T ANY POLICE
RECORDS YET, HAVE YOU?

NO, SIR.

WELL, YOU WILL HAVE
IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME.

ARE YOU GOING TO TALK?

I CAN'T, SIR. I HAVE A SORE THROAT.

AH. PFFT!

SO HAVE I.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

JEAN MOUCANT.

AH. YOU'RE ABOUT 19,
AREN'T YOU?

YES, SIR.

MM-HMM. EVER BEEN
IN PRISON BEFORE?

NO, SIR.

NO. OH, THAT'S
A BAD PLACE.

YOU WANT TO KEEP
OUT OF IT.

YOU KNOW, UH, A CRIME LIKE
THIS, IT'S, UH, 15 TO 20 YEARS.

20 YEARS!

YES. YOU'LL BE 40
WHEN YOU GET OUT.

YOU GOT A GIRL?

YES, SIR.

NOW LOOK HERE.

SUPPOSE I HELP YOU
OUT OF THIS MESS,

GIVE YOU SOME MONEY
AND SEND YOU TO AMERICA,

WHERE THE STREETS
ARE PAVED WITH GOLD

AND EVERYBODY'S RICH
AND HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS.

HUH?

NOW, I-I'LL DO THIS
FOR YOU,

AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS TO TELL ME

WHO PAID YOU
TO COME DOWN HERE.

I COULDN'T, SIR.
I'M AFRAID.

THERE'S NO NEED
FOR THAT.

I'M GUERCHARD.
I'M THE POLICE.

I'M FRANCE.

I'LL PROTECT YOU.

BRAVO!
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL SPEECH!

MAGNIFICENT!
HA HA HA!

NOW LOOK HERE.
I'LL LET YOU GO,

AND I'LL GIVE YOU
50,000 FRANCS

IF YOU'LL TELL ME WHAT
YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS MAN.

IS THIS ARSENE LUPIN?

GO AHEAD,
YOUNG MAN.

TELL THIS NICE,
KIND GENTLEMAN

WHAT HE WANTS
TO KNOW.

I NEVER SAW HIM BEFORE
IN MY LIFE.

YOU DIDN'T
REALLY THINK

I WAS
ARSENE LUPIN,

DID YOU,
OLD MAN?

NOW LOOK HERE,
YOU MEN.

I'M GOING TO
GIVE YOU A CHANCE.

THERE'S FREEDOM FOR ANY
MAN THAT TELLS THE TRUTH-

FREEDOM
AND A CLEAN SLATE.

WELL, HAVE YOU GOT A
TONGUE? DO YOU KNOW HIM?

NO, SIR.

YOU KNOW HIM?

NO, SIR.

YOU KNOW, GUERCHARD,

I THINK I'D KEEP AN
EYE ON THESE FELLOWS.

I'M QUITE SURE
ARSENE LUPIN

WOULD NEVER LET SUCH
LOYALTY GO UNREWARDED.

I'LL BET YOU ANYTHING
YOU LIKE HE GETS THEM OFF.

AH, ENOUGH OF THIS.

UH, WILL YOU GO IN THE
LIBRARY, YOUR GRACE?

TAKE THESE MEN
BACK TO PARIS.

WE'LL FIND A WAY
OF MAKING THEM TALK.

YOU KNOW,
GUERCHARD,

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
ONE THING,

AND THAT'S
YOUR FIXED IDEA

THAT I'M
ARSENE LUPIN.

REALLY, YOUR GRACE,
YOU MUST FORGIVE ME.

I'M VERY SORRY, BUT AS A
MATTER OF FACT, I'M QUITE UPSET.

UNDER MY VERY NOSE,
SO TO SPEAK,

THE SAFE WAS ROBBED.

OH, I CAN'T
BELIEVE IT.

WELL, IT'S TRUE
JUST THE SAME.

HERE, YOU CAN SEE
FOR YOURSELF.

AAH!

WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE.

THERE.

SO YOU DID KNOW
HOW TO OPEN IT.

WHY, YES, OF COURSE
I KNEW HOW TO OPEN IT.

I WAS CAUGHT
THE SAME WAY MYSELF.

GOURNEY-MARTIN SHOWED ME
HOW TO GET FREE.

OUTSIDE
OF GOURNEY-MARTIN,

YOU'RE THE ONLY MAN
IN THE WORLD

THAT KNOWS HOW
TO OPEN THAT SAFE.

HMM.

WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN IT WAS ROBBED?

I DON'T KNOW.
WHEN WAS IT ROBBED?

LAST THAN
HALF AN HOUR AGO.

OH. LET ME SEE.
WHERE THE DEV-

OH, I REMEMBER.
I REMEMBER WHERE I WAS.

I WAS RIDING
A PINK OCTOPUS

IN A BAD HAILSTORM.

WHAT?

IN MY DREAMS.

I WAS ASLEEP
AND DREAMING.

OH, THEN YOU WERE
IN BED ALL NIGHT.

I WAS.

YOU HAVE NO WAY OF
PROVING THAT, HAVE YOU?

NO, MY DEAR SIR.
I'M A BACHELOR.

WELL, NOW WE'LL
FIND OUT THE TRUTH.

SONIA, WERE YOU
ON DUTY LAST NIGHT

AS PER INSTRUCTIONS?

YES.

IS SHE
A POLICE AGENT?

SHE CERTAINLY IS. NOW,
YOU HEARD HIS GRACE SAY

THAT HE SPENT
THE NIGHT

IN HIS OWN ROOM.
IS THAT THE TRUTH?

NO.

NO, I DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS.

NOW, TELL US EXACTLY WHERE
HE DID SPEND THE NIGHT.

HE SPENT IT WITH ME.

WITH YOU?

YOU TOLD ME
TO WATCH HIM.

YES, I KNOW.

HE CAME TO MY ROOM
LAST NIGHT

WITH CHAMPAGNE
AND SUPPER.

HOW LONG
DID HE STAY?

ALL NIGHT.

EATING ALL THE TIME?

OH, NO-TALKING.

WE TALKED
TILL MORNING,

AND THEN I HEARD
SOMEONE SCREAMING

THAT HE'D BEEN
ROBBED,

AND WE RAN OUT
INTO THE HALL.

AND WHERE DID HE GO?

I SAW HIM GO
INTO HIS OWN ROOM,

AND I STOOD THERE IN THE
HALL FOR A FEW MINUTES

UNTIL A POLICEMAN
CAME UP THE STAIRS,

AND THEN I WENT
INTO MY OWN ROOM,

AND THE MAN KNOCKED
AT HIS DOOR.

I SEE. YOU'RE IN LOVE
WITH HIM.

YOU TAKE MY PAY,
MY PROMISES OF FREEDOM,

BUT YOU'RE LIKE
ALL CROOKS.

YOU CAN'T PLAY SQUARE.

YOU'RE LIKE ALL THE REST OF
THEM. YOU'VE FALLEN FOR HIM.

JUST BECAUSE I WOULDN'T LIE ABOUT HIM?

OH, SONIA,
WHY ARE YOU SO EASY?

YOUR FREEDOM
FOR A FEW CHEAP KISSES.

WHY, HE'LL
PASS YOU UP-

WELL,
THAT CONCERNS ME!

NOW, JUST A MINUTE,
GUERCHARD.

THAT CONCERNS ME, TOO,
A LITTLE.

YOU SEE, THE COUNTESS KRISHNOV
AND MYSELF-

COUNTESS KRISHNOV?

HA HA HA!

SAY, THAT'S
A GOOD ONE.

SHE'S
SOPHIE KRELBERG,

A SWINDLER-

A CONVICTED
SWINDLER.

A SWINDLER?

CONVICTED?

EXACTLY. I THOUGHT
THAT WOULD GET YOU.

YOU MEAN
SHE'S BEEN IN PRISON?

YEAH. WHAT HAVE YOU
GOT TO SAY TO THAT?

NOTHING MUCH...

EXCEPT I THINK

SHE'S QUITE THE MOST
ADORABLE SWINDLER...

I'VE EVER MET.

2 1/2 YEARS
IN A STONE CELL

WON'T HELP
HER LOOKS ANY.

21/2 YEARS?

YEAH, EXACTLY.

SHE'S OUT ON PAROLE

TO DO THIS LITTLE
JOB FOR ME,

AND IF SHE FAILS,
BACK SHE GOES.

WELL, SONIA,

I'M GOING TO GIVE
YOU ANOTHER CHANCE.

WHERE WAS THIS MAN
LAST NIGHT?

WITH ME.

OH, I'LL STOP
THIS LYING.

ODILLE!

YES, SIR?

TAKE THIS WOMAN
BACK TO PRISON.

YES, SIR.

AND SEE THAT SHE HAS

THE NICE, COZY
LITTLE CELL

THAT SHE HAD BEFORE.

YES, SIR.

WELL, SONIA?

GO ON, DON'T BE SILLY.
TELL THEM THE TRUTH.

HE WAS WITH ME
ALL NIGHT.

YOU KNOW SHE'S LYING
TO PROTECT ME, DON'T YOU?

HA HA! OF COURSE
SHE'S LYING,

BUT SWILL TELL
THE TRUTH,

AND WHEN SHE DOES,

YOU'LL BE ON YOUR
WAY TO PRISON,

MR. ARSENE LUPIN.

WHAT'S THAT?

"GUERCHARD-UNLESS MY MEN ARE
RELEASED BY NOON TOMORROW,

"YOU'LL BE DISGRACED
FOREVER.

"UNDER YOUR NOSE,
I'LL STEAL THE MONA LISA

OUT OF THE LOUVRE."

AND IT'S SIGNED
"ARSENE LUPIN."

OF COURSE
I'M ARSENE LUPIN!

I'M OUT IN THE GARDEN

THROWING ROCKS
AT MYSELF.

GET OUT AND FIND THE MAN
THAT THREW THAT STONE!

I'LL ATTEND TO YOU
WHEN I COME BACK.

IT'S OUTSIDE
THAT WINDOW.

COME ON.

SURROUND THE HOUSE.

SEARCH EVERY INCH
OF THE GROUNDS.

IS THAT ALL?

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
GO AND DO IT.

LEAVE IT TO ME. I HAVE
A WAY WITH THE WOMEN.

NOW, WE'VE GOT THIS
ALL STRAIGHT.

ON THE FIRST WHISTLE,
YOU AND YOUR CROWD MOVE.

I UNDERSTAND.

ON THE SECOND,
IT'S YOU.

I START
ON THE THIRD WHISTLE.

FINE. COME IN.

HELLO.

OH, HELLO, LAURENT.

WELL, GENTLEMEN,
GO TO IT. GOOD LUCK.

WHAT DID YOU
FIND OUT?

THEY HAVE EVERY
DOOR AND WINDOW GUARDED,

AND TWO POLICEMEN ARE
WATCHING THE MONA LISA.

THEY ARE, EH?

IT WILL TAKE
MORE THAN THAT

TO KEEP THAT LADY FROM
STEPPING OUT THIS EVENING.

AH...

SIT DOWN A MINUTE.

MARVELOUS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

YOU LIKE IT?

IS IT REALLY
ALL RIGHT?

YOU LOOK LIKE ME, BUT
YOU DON'T TALK LIKE ME.

WELL, YOU SILLY OLD GOAT,

WHEN I'M AS OLD AS YOU,
I WILL TALK LIKE YOU.

HA HA HA!

COME A LITTLE CLOSER,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

THIS IS THE MOST FAMOUS
PAINTING IN THE WORLD.

IT IS THE MOST VALUABLE
PAINTING IN THE LOUVRE.

ARTISTS HAVE TRAVELED
THOUSANDS OF MILES

TO SEE IT,

AND AFTER
HAVING SEEN IT,

THEY FELT THEMSELVES
FULLY COMPENSATED.

OH, I'VE BEEN
LOOKING FOR YOU

EVERYWHERE,
MR. GUERCHARD.

WELL, WHAT'S
THE MATTER, LAURENT?

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU
YOUR FLOWER.

OH, THANK YOU.

THERE'S A BIG CROWD HERE
TODAY, ISN'T THERE?

TOO BIG.

WE DON'T OFTEN SEE YOU
HERE, MR. GUERCHARD.

GO AWAY.

THIS IS THE FAMOUS
MONA LISA,

PAINTED BY DA VINCI
IN 1501.

IT TOOK THE ARTIST 4 YEARS
TO PAINT THE SMILING LADY,

AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT
SHE'S SMILING AT OR WHY.

OH, SHE'S PERFECT-
PERFECT.

SHE'D MAKE
THE MOST WONDERFUL WIFE-

SMILES ALL THE TIME
AND NEVER TALKS.

HA HA HA!

HELLO.

WELL, CAN YOU BLOW
THAT GREAT BIG WHISTLE?

CUTE. HAVE HIM
DO IT AGAIN.

BLOW YOUR WHISTLE,
CHARLES.

LAURENT! GO TO IT.

STAY WITH HIM. DON'T
LEAVE HIM FOR A MINUTE.

ALL RIGHT.

BLOW IT AGAIN.

FIRE! FIRE!
FIRE! FIRE!

FIRE!

FIRE! FIRE!

WHAT'S THE MATTER,
MR. GUERCHARD?

IS THE PLACE ON FIRE?

DON'T BOTHER ME,
LAURENT. DON'T BOTHER ME.

COME ON.

STAY BACK, PLEASE.
STAY BACK!

HEY, COME ON.
STAY BACK!

GET THOSE GATES CLOSED.

NO ONE'S TO LEAVE THE BUILDING,
YOU UNDERSTAND?

FIRE! FIRE!

FIRE! FIRE!

FIRE!

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS
I'VE FAILED.

THAT'S A FAKE
PLANTED THERE

TO TRAP
ARSENE LUPIN.

NOT THE REAL
MONA LISA?

NO. THE FIRE WAS
A FAKE.

THE CROWD WAS
A FAKE.

THEY WERE ALL
HIS MEN.

I GAVE HIM EVERY CHANCE IN THE WORLD

TO TAKE IT.

WHERE IS
THE REAL PICTURE?

OH, THAT'S SAFE ENOUGH, THANK HEAVEN.

THAT'S OVER THERE
IN THE VAULT.

HE NEVER IN THE WORLD WOULD...

THE VAULT'S OPEN.

WHY, IT'S GONE!

CAN'T YOU SEE
IT'S GONE?

HE'S GOT IT,
BUT HE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH IT.

I'LL SEARCH EVERYONE
IN THIS PLACE

DOWN TO THEIR HIDE!

NOTHING HERE, SIR.

ALL RIGHT,
TAKE HIM OUT.

COME ON.

SEE THAT HE GETS OUT OF THE BUILDING.

OH, MR. GUERCHARD,
MR. GUERCHARD!

COME ON,
GET BACK IN LINE.

OH, SEARCH ME NOW, SIR,
AND LET ME GO.

YOU KNOW I WAS WITH YOU
ALL THE TIME.

ALL RIGHT,
SEARCH HIM.

HE'S GOT
NOTHING, SIR.

TAKE HIM OUT.

OH, THANK YOU, SIR.

COME ON,
COME ON.

HEY,
WAIT A MINUTE!

WHAT ARE YOU IN SUCH A HURRY ABOUT?

THAT'S MY LUNCH, SIR.

OH, PLEASE
LET ME GO, SIR.

YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T
GOT ANYTHING.

HERE YOU ARE.
GET OUT!

TAKE HIM OUT, AND IF HE TRIES
TO GET BACK AGAIN, KILL HIM.

OH, THANK YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU.

NO. COME ON.

OH, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT.
HURRY IT UP.

THANKS.

ALL RIGHT.

SO YOU GOT AWAY,
LAURENT.

YES, THANKS.
HA HA HA!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN HERE, HUH?

LET ME GO!

MR. GUERCHARD! MR.
GUERCHARD! MR. GUERCHARD!

I JUST FINALLY LET
THAT OLD FELLOW OUT,

AND I FOUND THIS MAN
IN THE-

I UNDERSTAND!
THAT WAS LUPIN.

HEY!

STOP THAT FLOWER SELLER
THERE!

OH...

COME ON, FOLLOW ME
IN HERE.

OH, ALL RIGHT. OH!

GIDDY-UP!
LET HIM ALONE.

I'VE SEEN YOU

RIDING AROUND
THE STREETS OF PARIS

FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS SOUND ASLEEP

AND THE HORSE TAKING YOU ON YOUR ROUNDS.

OH, YOU MUST
BE MISTAKEN, SIR.

I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY

LUPIN COULD HAVE GOT TO
LOOK SO MUCH LIKE YOU,

AND THAT'S WITH YOUR
HELP. NOW, WHERE IS HE?

I- I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IF YOU WON'T TALK,
YOUR HORSE WILL.

DROP THOSE REINS.
GIVE HIM HIS HEAD.

I WAS SENT TO BRING YOU WITH ME RIGHT
AWAY, MISS. YOUR FATHER'S BEEN HURT.

HURT? IS HE
BADLY HURT?

NO, MISS,
JUST VERY SLIGHTLY,

BUT HE WANTS YOU
RIGHT AWAY.

HE SAID YOU WERE
TO COME ALONG WITH ME.

WAIT. I'LL GET
MY THINGS.

I'VE GOT IT!

I GOT IT RIGHT UNDER GUERCHARD'S NOSE.

LOOK! THERE SHE IS,
WRAPPED AROUND MY UMBRELLA

BUT STILL SMILING.

WHY, IT DOESN'T SEEM
TO AMUSE YOU.

I'M NOT AMUSED.
I'M AFRAID.

WHAT FOR?

PRISON.

OH, DARLING,
DON'T BE SILLY.

THEY'LL NEVER TAKE YOU BACK THERE.

NOT FOR ME-
FOR YOU.

FOR ME?

LISTEN, YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN IN PRISON. I HAVE.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT WILL DO TO YOU.

YOU'LL COME OUT
WHIPPED AND BROKEN.

OH, I LOVE YOU
SO MUCH.

IF YOU LOVE ME,
DON'T LET ME SEE

THAT PRISON LOOK
ON YOUR FACE.

I COULDN'T BEAR IT FOR YOU.
I COULDN'T BEAR IT.

ALL RIGHT, LADY.

I'LL BUY
YOUR VIOLETS.

YOU MEAN
NO MORE STEALING?

NO MORE DISHONESTY?

IF I HAVE YOU,

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
WORTH STEALING.

AND YOU'LL
SEND THIS BACK?

I CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU SEE, UH...

THIS MEANS THE SAFETY OF 6 OF MY FRIENDS

WHO ARE IN PRISON
ON ACCOUNT OF ME.

I'M TRADING THIS
FOR THEIR FREEDOM.

THAT'S WHY
I STOLE IT.

COME ON, DARLING.
LET'S GO.

WE'LL BE OUT OF PARIS IN AN HOUR.

WHAT IS IT?

GUERCHARD. COME ON.

IT'S TOO LATE.
THEY'RE ALL AROUND US.

NOW, LISTEN.

NO MATTER WHAT I DO
OR WHAT I SAY,

DON'T TALK.
DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

I'VE GOT TO MAKE GUERCHARD BELIEVE THIS.

HERE, TAKE THAT KEY.
KISS ME.

NOW, REMEMBER-
DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

YOU LITTLE RAT!

ARE YOU
SATISFIED NOW?

I LOVED YOU.
I TRUSTED YOU!

YOU LITTLE LIAR!
YOU POLICE SPY!

TRAITOR! TAKE THESE HANDCUFFS OFF ME!

SO YOU GOT HIM,
SOPHIE.

YOU CAME TO YOUR SENSES
AT LAST.

THAT'S A GOOD GIRL.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.

HAS HE CONFESSED? HAS
HE ADMITTED EVERYTHING?

WELL-

WHAT MORE CONFESSION DO YOU
WANT THAN THAT, YOU LITTLE...

I'M ARSENE LUPIN.

NO, YOU'RE THE QUEEN
OF RUMANIA.

WELL, SOPHIE, HAVE YOU GOT TMONA LISA?

YOU'VE GOT ME
HANDCUFFED.

THAT MEANS SONIA GOES FREE,
IS THAT RIGHT?

YES. SHE'S DONE
HER JOB.

NOW, LISTEN, GUERCHARD,

I'M THE ONLY PERSON
IN THE WORLD

THAT KNOWS WHERE
THAT PICTURE IS.

NOW, LET'S
DO BUSINESS.

I'LL TRADE YOU
FOR THE PICTURE FIRST,

AND I'LL TRADE YOU FOR
MY FREEDOM AFTER THAT.

I WON'T TRADE
WITH YOU.

I WON'T DEAL
WITH YOU.

I'LL FIND
THAT PICTURE

IF I HAVE TO TEAR
THIS PLACE DOWN

STONE BY STONE.

DO YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT?

ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT.

NO USE BREAKING
MY UMBRELLA.

YOU'RE CAUGHT, AND YOU'RE
GOING TO STAY CAUGHT.

YEAH, YOU'VE GOT ME,

BUT YOU'VE LOST
THE PRIDE OF FRANCE-

THE MOST FAMOUS PICTURE
IN THE WORLD-

AND YOU'LL BE
DISMISSED IN DISGRACE.

I WON'T TRADE
WITH YOU.

ALL RIGHT, EXPLAIN
TO THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE

JUST HOW YOU LET THAT PICTURE
SLIP THROUGH YOUR FINGERS.

THEN YOU TELL THEM
WHERE IT IS.

HOW MUCH
DO YOU WANT?

HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE I GOT TO GIVE YOU?

I DON'T WANT ANY MONEY.
I WANT MY MEN.

GIVE ME BACK MY FRIENDS.
TURN THEM OUT.

AND IF I DO?

YOU'LL GET
THE PICTURE.

ALL RIGHT.

AS LONG AS I'VE GOT
YOU AND THE PICTURE,

WHAT DO I CARE ABOUT
SCUM LIKE THAT?

I'VE GOT YOUR WORD
ON THIS, GUERCHARD?

YOU HAVE.
THEY'RE FREE.

NOW, WHERE'S
THE PICTURE?

YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY
I DIDN'T WANT YOU

TO BREAK
MY UMBRELLA.

HA HA! "DON'T BREAK
MY UMBRELLA," HUH?

HOLIE!

WHAT'S THIS?

WELL?

THE GIRL'S
ACROSS THE BORDER.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
YOUR DAUGHTER, GUERCHARD.

MY DAUGHTER'S
AT HOME.

YOUR DAUGHTER'S
BEEN KIDNAPPED.

SHE'S OUT OF THE COUNTRY
ACROSS THE BORDER.

YOU KNOW WHY THEY SEND
GIRLS OUT OF THE COUNTRY-

YOUNG, PRETTY
17-YEAR-OLD GIRLS?

AH, YOU'RE TRYING
TO FRIGHTEN ME.

I HAVE FRIGHTENED YOU.

LIAR.

HELLO.

UH, PASSY-1612.

HELLO, ROSE. ER, UH,
IS MY DAUGHTER THERE?

I WANT TO SPEAK TO HER.

WHAT?!

ARGH! YOU RAT!

YOU SLIMY-

THAT WON'T GET
YOUR DAUGHTER BACK.

I'LL GET HER BACK!

ALIVE OR DEAD?

NOW, IT'S
PERFECTLY SIMPLE

FOR YOU TO BLOW
THAT WHISTLE.

THIS WHOLE HOUSE IS
SURROUNDED BY YOUR MEN.

BUT IF YOU DO,
IT MIGHT MAKE MY MEN

TOO ANGRY TO CARE WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOUR DAUGHTER.

BUT YOU CAN
BUY HER BACK.

THINK WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
TO HER WHERE SHE'S GOING.

YOU'D DO THAT
TO AN INNOCENT CHILD?

IF YOU SEND ME
TO PRISON.

SHE'S GOT EVERYTHING IN
THE WORLD TO LIVE FOR.

CHARMERACE,
YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

I'M FIGHTING
FOR MY LIFE!

I'LL USE
ANY WEAPON

I CAN LAY
MY HAND ON.

PLAY FAIR, CHARMERACE.
I HAVE.

SO HAVE YOU UP TO NOW,
BUT THIS-

THE DUKE OF CHARMERACE

DESCENDING
TO A BARGAIN LIKE THIS.

THEN SET ME FREE.

I'LL HELP YOU.
I'LL ASK CLEMENCY FOR YOU.

I'LL DO EVERYTHING
I CAN FOR YOU,

BUT SET YOU FREE?
I CAN'T DO THAT.

YOU KNOW
I CAN'T DO THAT!

GIVE HER BACK TO ME,
CHARMERACE.

SHE'S ALL I'VE GOT
IN THE WORLD.

WHY, I-I'VE
TAKEN CARE OF HER

EVER SINCE
SHE WAS A BABY.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING
FOR HER.

I TAUGHT HER TO WALK.

I... I WANTED HER TO WALK
STRAIGHT AND BE HAPPY.

GIVE HER BACK TO ME.

THEN TAKE THESE OFF.

ALL RIGHT.

SONIA,
GIVE ME THE KEY.

I WON'T DO IT.

CHARMERACE,
I WON'T DO IT!

IT'S MY JOB.
I'M NO CROOK!

I'M ON THE LEVEL.
I WON'T DO IT.

NOT EVEN
FOR YOUR DAUGHTER?

NOT FOR ANYBODY
IN THE WORLD.

I'VE GOT A JOB TO DO,
AND I'M GOING TO DO IT.

YOU KNOW, THERE
OUGHT TO BE A LAW

AGAINST FOOLS
LIKE YOU.

YOU MAKE FOOLS
LIKE ME

A LITTLE ASHAMED.

HA HA HA!

ALL RIGHT...

SEND HER IN.

DAD, ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT?

WELL, IT ALMOST WORKED.

OH, I KNEW IT.

YOU'RE
A MUCH BETTER THIEF

THAN YOU ARE A LIAR.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING
PRETTY GOOD.

I'M SORRY, CHARMERACE. I'VE
GOT TO TAKE YOU WITH ME.

I KNOW.

AS FOR YOU, SOPHIE,
THERE'S A FRENCH LINER

LEAVING AT NOON TOMORROW
FOR AMERICA.

TAKE IT.

COME ON,
CHARMERACE.

YOU KNOW,
I'M AWFULLY LUCKY.

IF THEY'D CAUGHT ME
JUST ONE WEEK AGO...

I'D NEVER HAVE
KNOWN YOU.

COME ON.

CAN'T YOU SMILE
AT A GUY?

SO WHAT DID YOU DO

WITH GOURNEY-MARTIN'S
JEWELS?

I HID THEM IN THE
MATTRESS OF HIS OWN BED.

SO WHERE DID YOU
GET MY SHOES?

YOU REMEMBER THAT OLD CLOTHES DEALER

CAME TO YOUR HOUSE A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO?

THAT WAS ME.

YOU DON'T LIMP.

I DO IN YOUR SHOES.

HUH?

I LOST A MAN
AT THAT BRIDGE ONCE.

HE DIVED OVER
WITH HIS HANDCUFFS ON

AND GOT AWAY.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

OH, I JUMPED
OUT OF THE CAR

AND FIRED
5 SHOTS AT HIM,

BUT I MISSED HIM.

I'M A BAD SHOT.

CAN YOU SWIM?

AND HOW.

THAT LAST SHOT
GOT HIM, SIR.

YEAH.

I FIRED 4 SHOTS
AT HIM.

HE SCREAMED AND FELL
IN THE WATER.

THAT'S THE END
OF HIM.

THAT'S FINE,
GUERCHARD.

YOU'LL BE
A PUBLIC HERO.

IT'S A GOOD TIME
TO QUIT.

MY RESIGNATION.

I FEEL
THAT I'VE FAILED.

BUT HOW? HERE IS
TMONA LISA.

LUPIN IS DEAD.

I KNOW, BUT I PROMISED
TO BRING HIM TO JUSTICE,

AND I DIDN'T.

GUERCHARD,
YOU CAN HAVE

ANYTHING IN THE DEPARTMENT YOU LIKE.

I'D LIKE A REST.

I'D LIKE TO STAY HOME
WITH MY DAUGHTER.

I'M A LITTLE TIRED.

THIS IS VERY LOVELY.

IT IS NICE.

BEAUTIFUL.

MAY I SHOW YOU
SOMETHING?

NO, THANKS. I'LL
PICK OUT WHAT I WANT.

AHEM.

YOU, UH...

HAVEN'T ANY SOLID GOLD
HANDCUFFS, HAVE YOU?

GOLD HANDCUFFS?

WELL, THAT'S
NEAR ENOUGH.

WE'LL TAKE IT.

WOULDN'T
OLD GUERCHARD

LOVE TO SEE ME
BUYIJEWELRY?
