Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (LUPIN the Third ～峰不二子という女～)

No! Don't!

It's a really special bear that Mama and Papa gave me...

That's wrong.

I'm your papa aren't I?

Listen if you misbehave...

your precious treasures will be burned.

And...

you'll be burned too.

The kidnapper demanding a ransom

is most likely after the Beliz inheritance.

No I think—

Pardon me.

Oh there it is.

Zenigata.

Not only did he fail to apprehend Mine Fujiko

he lost his subordinate and can't pursue Lupin.

He's finished.

I'm hungry.

Let's go get something to eat.

I'll devour it all.

Are you alone?

Yes.

No she's not.

She's with me.

Why did he imitate you?

Who knows?

Don't feign innocence.

We couldn't find Oscar's body.

You got rid of it didn't you

Mine Fujiko?

Is that really what you think happened?

Hey.

If you're planning to get revenge for that boy

team up with me.

Sending you to the electric chair will be my revenge for him.

Really now?

The kidnapping cases involving girls has been a hot topic lately...

Rather the serial kidnapping case.

Serial? What are you talking about?

Well it's true that lately kidnappings have been happening all over the world

but there's no connection between the locations and situations.

You can't call it "serial" when the culprits are all different.

There's a commonality.

An artwork or a painting has been left in the room of each victim.

The subjects varied but it always involved an owl.

Owl?

Don't tell me...

Luis Yu Almeida.

Bingo.

You don't disappoint.

I'll be your partner for a while. Let's try to get along.

You're just planning on using my corpse as a stepping stone.

That's the kind of woman you are.

Count me out.

Don't be such a downer.

If I'm talking about a treasure possessed by the world-leading manufacturers Glaucus Pharmaceuticals

then you know it has to be something special.

There's only one thing I want.

You can have everything else.

Is it Mine Fujiko?

Why are you obsessed with that crazy woman?

I don't get it.

Do you need to get your eyes checked?

She's a treasure of the highest quality.

Yep she's a puppet

of intricate craftsmanship!

This is the place right?

Yes.

Glaucus Park.

May I see your ticket?

Ticket?

Ticket...

I wouldn't have one in here...

This is...

Talk about bad taste.

What?

House of...

Fujiko.

What is this?

This is...

the deserted town Eulenspiegel.

The place where I was raised...

is the town of Glaucus Pharmaceuticals.

Right...

My papa was conducting an experiment in the lab.

He said that it was an experiment that would make everyone happy.

And...

Hey!

Where are we?

No way.

Papa took me to a place with many other girls...

Mine Fujiko.

Suddenly Papa...

just disappeared...

and I...

...went to the castle in the sky.

Fujiko.

Did you hear... a voice?

What's wrong Mine Fujiko?

This is your story

Fujiko.

I was so lonely.

I've been longing to see you.

Mine Fujiko.

The lab?

Yes.

I was summoned to the castle in the sky.

And there...

I was experimented on.

Stop...

Stop it!

No more!

Hey get a grip!

Let go of me!

This way!

Your ticket?

Let's see.

Over here?

I thought so.

When did that...

Lupin III this is definitely a trap.

If we're to turn back now is the time.

Oh ice cream!

That was a waste.

The Fräulein Eule cult

was a front for the experimental facility run by Glaucus Pharmaceutical which was controlled by Count Almeida.

Count Almeida hired me to steal Mine Fujiko who had infiltrated the cult.

She's a woman that the Count is strangely attached to.

She piqued my interest.

And when I looked her up

I discovered that a woman named Mine Fujiko

never existed in this world.

She's a thief.

Of course she would use a false name.

I'm saying that there was no one who could possibly be her.

Meaning?

Meaning that the famous female thief Mine Fujiko...

had her whole life the story named "Mine Fujiko" stolen away.

You saw it right?

Fujiko tried to kill a woman whose life was controlled by others.

She probably saw a reflection of herself

in the powerless woman who was at the whim of others.

By killing that woman

she believed she could kill her past self.

In any case it has nothing to do with me.

It's too late for that unfortunately.

In the story of "Mine Fujiko"

we've already become recurring characters.

What?

See? We've got a welcoming party.

I appreciate the invitation.

You're the one who gave us tickets right?

I have a request to make of you today.

I will steal Mine Fujiko.

But after that I'm doing what I want with her.

Today's request is different.

What is it?

Lupin III

I want you to kill Mine Fujiko.

Huh?

If you refuse this request...

Wait!

Wow what a thrill!

Tell me Lupin.

Why do I have to get involved in this?

Count Almeida has kept tabs on Mine Fujiko's every move!

He's the reason for many of the things she's been through!
