Line 8:
Lupin and Jigen are about to fall into the beam when it suddenly shuts off. They have been rescued by Fujiko; Lupin laughs at Jigen's previous accusation as the three thieves make a run for it. The three exit the Basala hideout under the Taj Mahal as Fujiko explains she overheard Lupin's call to Goemon. Basala's men appear just then, chasing the thieves into a field of cows. Basala orders his men to shoot the cows to find Lupin's gang, but his men naturally refuse for religious reasons. As they argue, Lupin, hidden on the back of a cow, steals a jeep to allow the gang to make their escape.
As the gang drives along, Fujiko questions Lupin about the diamonds; she heard Basala talking about them before she rescued her friends and wants a cut. Jigen warns Lupin not to tell her, but Lupin folds when Fujiko kisses him and reveals the diamonds are somewhere in Calcutta. Jigen starts a fight with Lupin, angry that his friend is about to tell the whole thing to her, and the two struggling thieves fall into a hole full of quicksand as a horrified Fujiko looks on. After the two have vanished below the surface, Basala catches up to the gang, and Fujiko begs him to help her save them. Basala instead orders her to tell him what she "rescued" Lupin and Jigen to find out: the location of the diamonds. Fujiko lies and tells Basala they are in Mumbai, then tells the man she does not want the gems anymore since they cost her Lupin's life. Suspicious, Basala leaves; Fujiko then looks at the sinkhole and tells Lupin she will come back and spread some of the diamonds in his memory before she also leaves in the stolen jeep. She is unaware a rope has been tied to the back bumper; it pulls Lupin and Jigen out from the hole, where Jigen promptly does an "I told you so." Lupin and Jigen then watch as the top tower of the Taj Mahal, actually Basara's enormous balloon, takes off in the distance. Realizing the army plans on following Fujiko to the diamonds' real location, Lupin decides to go after the both of them.
In Calcutta, Fujiko searches for the diamonds, unwittingly followed by Basala and his men. He decides to take matters into his own hands and shoots Fujiko with the Suicide Beam. She promptly drives off to find somewhere to kill herself, some of Basara's men still in pursuit. The rest of them go around the city, digging it up based on Lupin's clue that the diamonds are "hidden in plain sight." Lupin catches up, but he is stopped when Basala, who has captured the suicidal Fujiko, places her on the road with a bottle of poison. As Lupin confronts her, she drinks the poison and falls over; when Lupin dashes over in grief, she explodes. "Fujiko" was actually a Suicide Beam bomb that has caught Lupin, and he is now suicidal himself! The real Fujiko has been cured of her suicidal urges, but Basara has left her hanging from a cliff. Lupin pulls his gun out to shoot Basara, but instead aims it at his own head.
Line 16:
Back at the cliff, the branch Jigen has been clinging to finally gives way. Luckily, a barge passing on the river below catches both of them safely. Lupin is disappointed to find himself not dead. Zenigata also happens to be on the barge, and when he threatens to tie up Lupin with a rope, Lupin takes the rope from the confused detective and tries to hang himself. Zenigata tries to stop him, but the thief bites him and passes the suicide effect on to the detective. Zenigata again attempts to shoot himself in the head and miss. Lupin then gets hold of a dagger and goes after Jigen, deciding they should both go out together.
As Lupin chases Jigen off the boat, Goemon comes out of his meditative state. He eludes Basara's Suicide Beam and leaps from the balloon, safely landing thanks to a hidden parachute. Basara and his men eagerly open the trunk, only to find it full of cow manure. Disgusted, they throw it overboard. Goemon, meanwhile, lands near Jigen, who has tied Lupin up to prevent him from harming himself further, but Lupin now threatens to bite his own tongue off and bleed to death. The dung Basara tossed overboard lands nearby, and Goemon offers some to Jigen to gleefully stuff in Lupin's mouth. When Lupin swallows the manure, however, he returns to normal. The gang has stumbled upon a cure!
A furious Basara catches up to the gang and goes after them with his hot-air balloon and suicide beams. Lupin rigs up a massive crossbow out of some stones and sticks, and launches a flaming bolt at Basara's balloon, which appears to be full of hydrogen as it explodes in a fiery ball, crashing to the ground and taking Basara with it.
