Can you help me use the inputlookup command to return results from one table but not another?

I have two tables. How can I use the inputlookup command so I only get results of the entries that are NOT in the 2nd table.

Tables 1
A 1 one
A 1 two
A 1 three
B 5 one
C 6 one

2nd table
B Done
C Done

Return
A 1 one
A 1 two
A 1 three

Tried it as follows but does not work.

| inputlookup table1  | eval flag1="1"
   | join type=inner  [ inputlookup table2  |eval flag2="1" ]
| where isnull(flag2)

Thanks

    | join type=outer [ inputlookup table2  |eval flag2="1" ]
 | where isnull(flag2)
