History Recap / LupinIIIS2E13

** In the original Japanese version, as well as the Italian dub, the passwords are instead references to Music/TheBeatles and Music/ElvisPresley, with Lupin and Jigen's alias being puns on Creator/PaulMcCartney and Creator/RingoStarr respectively.

* ShoutOut: The elevator allowing access to the vault is protected by passwords based off of various ''Main/StarTrek'' phrases, which Lupin and Jigen guess successfully.

* ZillionDollarBill: The MacGuffin of the episode is a microfilm of a process that can artificially create diamonds, at a very low cost. Lupin wants to destroy it, because the film would be a disaster to exist, making all of the other diamonds people had worked hard for mining from the earth (and stolen had by him) completely worthless.

* LostForever: The microfilm falls into the water by the end of the episode.

----

* TreasureChestCavity: The crooks who stole the microfilm hide their loot by surgically inserting it into one of Zenigata's teeth.

The next morning, in San Francisco, a manic Zenigata is chasing a phantom image of Lupin. After realizing what he's been running after the whole time, he decides to take a rest and goes back to his apartment. Meanwhile, Lupin and his gang are discussing the matter of the microfilm and the competition that got to it first. Lupin believes that if the company starts producing diamonds of such quality, the diamond market will bomb and all the gems they have ever stolen will be worth as much as a pile of gravel, so his plan is to destroy it one they get it. Fujiko disagrees, however, and actually sees something in having that microfilm for herself.

Zenigata is calmly riding down the road with a tractor into a tunnel. He sees that the tunnel splits off and that one direction is closed for traffic, so he takes the other one. However, Lupin switched the roadblock to lure Zenigata into a watery trap. As Lupin is about to get to Zenigata, the two crooks from before arrive by boat and take the tractor along with Zenigata. Lupin tries an attempt to take Zenigata back, but a roll of dynamite blows him off. As Lupin emerges on the crook's boat, it's revealed that Fujiko hired the crooks to get the microfilm for herself. After Jigen disarms the crooks with a rifle, Fujiko gives in and decides to split the treasure with them. However, their attempt to remove the microfilm from within Zenigata's mouth is botched when Zenigata sneezes it out into the water when he wakes up. Upon seeing the gang together on the boat, Zenigata, seemingly back to his normal self, prepares to arrest them again, just when the gang makes a break for it.
