The Mystery of Mamo1978

[Inspector Zenigata and his Police Commissioner are eating in a Japanese restaurant in Colombia, Zenigata is rapidly eating a bowl of rice]

Commissioner:
Inspector…

Inspector Zenigata:
[stops eating, surprised] Hm?

Commissioner:
I know you're famished, but…

Inspector Zenigata:
Huh?

Commissioner:
Well, people are staring!

Inspector Zenigata:
Sorry, sir, it's just that I've been living on my own earwax for a week, and er…

Commissioner:
Ah, spare me the details, Inspector. I understand. You suffered greatly, sacrificed greatly for this department, haven't you?

Inspector Zenigata:
I have! [mumbles, upset]

Commissioner:
There, there…

Inspector Zenigata:
[chomps on a radish, crying] You're so understanding! I don't… deserve a boss… like you… you're really the best! [breaks down in tears]

Commissioner:
[hands him a handkerchief] Here, thank you.

Inspector Zenigata:
[blows his nose] You've been patient, and generous, and kind, and I still haven't been able to capture Lupin! But I never, ever, give up!

Commissioner:
Yes, well, um…

Inspector Zenigata:
I'll never quit!

Commissioner:
It's all over.

Inspector Zenigata:
Huh?

Commissioner:
I’ve been sent all the way down here to Colombia just to order you off the case. Lupin’s gotten himself mixed up with some major players this time. I’m afraid it’s way over our heads, Inspector. It’s a matter for the diplomats at this point. Inspector…

Inspector Zenigata:
How can they… take me off this case?

Commissioner:
Well, as I said, the whole matter’s completely out of my hands. Oh! By the by… [hands a small document with Zenigata’s name on it] a little bonus pay for all your hard work.

Inspector Zenigata:
Uhhh…

Commissioner:
Token of our appreciation. What was your daughter’s name again, Toshiko? All grown up now, hm? [chuckles] Good life waiting for you back at home!

Inspector Zenigata:
But I’m the only one in the world who can catch Lupin!

Commissioner:
[grunts apologetically] I’m so sorry…

Inspector Zenigata:
[shouting] That’s not gonna cut it!

Commissioner:
Why, how dare you!

[Inspector Zenigata angrily growls, and tears up the bonus. He kicks away the table he and the Commissioner are eating at]

Inspector Zenigata:
Well then, I resign! I’ll chase the guy as a private citizen! [he storms out of the restaurant to the surprise of the customers, growling crazily] Outta my way!

Commissioner:
Inspector! Get back here! Are you mad?

[Inspector Zenigata stands on the outskirts of the city as the sun sets]

Inspector Zenigata:
[narrating] Okay, Lupin... this is IT! You, me! Sun of Colombia, ¡mano a mano!
