Gordon is a character of Lupin the 3rd Part 1.
History[]
Gordon is a computer engineer from the FBI and trusts computers over anything. He was with the Commissioner and shook hands as they were concerned that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police would lose its reputation over Lupin III. Gordon donated them a computer that was able to predict crime.
The Commissioner tells Koichi Zenigata that with the computer, they are able to catch Lupin. While both the Commissioner and Gordon have faith in the machine, Zenigata has doubts and thinks that it is too risky.
Lupin gave the Commissioner a letter saying that he will take the armored train that leaves Tokyo Station via the Hagetaka line to steal 800 million yen. Gordon smoked and expected the letter, he was asked by the Commissioner to predict what Lupin was going to do and flipped a few switches on the machine. His outcome was that at 6PM after leaving Tokyo Station, Lupin will change the traffic lights to red by making the train look like an accident on why it stopped. Then Lupin will tie up the engineers as they come to check on the light in the bushes and run towards the train in disguise. He will detach the first car worth 800 million yen from the second car that has the security guards inside to getaway.
His solution from the computer's predictions is that the security guards would move the money to the second car before Lupin gets in and arrests him as he reaches inside the train. Zenigata shouts that he think he would catch Lupin with a simple trick and proposes that he gets Lupin at the scene of the crime by the lights. The Commissioner then says that his ideas are why Lupin gets away and told him to trust the computer.
At the back seat of a police car, Gordon and Zenigata do not make eye contact with each other. Then as they get on the train with the guards and the money, he smiles by saying that Lupin is watching them at the station. When it reached the Yamana stop, he ordered the driver to do what he says however the driver also has doubts whether it is safe, Gordon reassures him that it is safe as Lupin only wants the money. Despite that Gordon is happy with the plan and put his hand on Zenigata's shoulder, he is not sure.
In the train as he sat down next to Zenigata and the guards, it had reached 6PM. He was surprised that Zenigata got out his binoculars. Lupin squirted the gun with red paint causing the train to stop as predicted however it changed when Lupin, Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa XIII ran away from the train after hearing a noise. Knowing that the computer's predictions were inaccurate, Zenigata and the guards ran off to catch Lupin. Gordon panicked as he told him to do what the computer says, he then got out of the train and called him crazy.
Despite that Zenigata managed to catch Jigen and Goemon, he got told off by the Commissioner as Gordon observed. He reminded Zenigata that Lupin would have been caught had it gone to plan. The computer gave out a prediction and he read that Lupin will disguise himself as Gordon and sneak into the computer room to give a false prediction. He flips some switches that gave out another prediction that he will transfer Jigen and Goemon from the basement to Room 405 on the top floor to escape. The Commissioner wondered why that room and Gordon tells him that Lupin will secretly contact Jigen and Goemon to prepare a truck with a trampoline, Lupin will run to the truck as Gordon while Jigen and Goemon jump out to get away. Yet he also adds that there will be an ambush surrounding the truck and claims that the prediction is "perfect".
Gordon got to the Imperial Hotel where Lupin was going and they met in the elevator, he managed to drug Gordon and carried him to the truck. Then he put his disguise on, put Gordon at the driving seat and headed to the police station. As he woke up, he got arrested by Zenigata and the police as they thought he was Lupin.
