Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine

Stop doing what you're doing now,

let your heart beat, and look up at me.

Stealing ...

does not mean stealing or violating something.

It's something special. A sweet taste vice.

It is an amalgam of secrets, crimes, malice and fear.

Just like with Heathcliff in "Wuthering Heights",

a life devoted to theft gives rise to supreme sensuality.

It is a prison of eroticism from which she cannot escape.

And its psychological foundation is ...

unknown.

Who is the slave?

Who's the master?

Is God watching her?

Or did he abandon her?

The act of stealing makes her forget everything else

evoking faint memories in her.

Don't talk ... run away.

Don't run away ... hide.

If you find me ... punish me.

If you intend to punish me ... kill me.

Save me.

You don't have anything left that I might want to steal from you, silly.

You are exactly like me ... empty.

So if you want to look at me ...

stop doing what you are doing right now.

Stop everything but your heartbeat and look at me.

A woman named Fujiko Mine

LUPINE Third

:: Italian Subs Addicted ::

Fujiko Mine!

Where am I?

Looks like someone here has been experimenting with humans.

What are they?

- Fraulein Hoyle. - Who goes there?

Fraulein Hoyle.

Did Fraulein Hoyle say?

Damn, it's getting more and more complicated ...

Now that I think about it ... that nightmare ...

was just the beginning.

The city of death

Fujiko Mine!

I want you to steal Fujiko Mine.

Man, how direct you are!

I'm sorry, but I have to decline the offer.

I would like you to keep faith with the note you sent her

in a more than timely manner.

The ticket, huh?

So it's ever since ...

They've been watching us ever since.

I will steal Fujiko Mine. Signed, Lupine III.

It is not mere fantasy or simple desire.

She's the only woman I want.

I don't care about your request.

But I've been told what about your honor

steal what you delivered one of your business cards for.

Go back to the forest,

Mr. Owl.

Should I interpret it as a rejection?

Dude, I'm half asleep. I have to go back to bed.

So, for tonight, that's it.

See you!

Owls are a pain in the ass.

Their night vision is clear.

But I need to know ...

What do they want from Fujiko Mine?

What does she mean to them?

Welcome, Inspector Zenigata.

No more chatter. I have to go to Glauco Pharmaceuticals,

at the villa owned by Count Armeid,

as fast as possible.

OK sir...

However, even if we left now, we would arrive late at night.

- We'll do everything in the morning. - I do not think so.

Take me to the villa.

Yes, sir.

And would this be an international airport?

What a dull country.

Rejoice ... I went all this way just for you.

A few months ago

Count Luis Yew Armeid.

This ... is just an advance.

This is a good booty!

Fraulein Hoyle.

It is a sect that owns a drug manufacturing factory.

- And from there ... - A sect?

I'm sorry, but I don't get involved in such shady deals.

In that case, Lupine III,

just steal that woman. You'll find it there for sure.

That's all we ask of you.

She is a very beautiful woman.

Here's another thorn in my side ...

Wait for me here.

- Yes, sir. - But I...

SPECIAL POLICE CORPS

I assume that Count Armeid is in the house.

How can i help you?

I have to ask him some questions. Take me to him.

Even if you're a police officer, doesn't it seem a little late for a visit?

Darkness has just fallen.

We were kind enough not to break in without a warrant.

And what exactly would you like?

We must see the Count!

Do we have to go and get this warrant?

Or maybe your famous Count

are you ready to confess your intrigues to dirty thieves?

What I have to ask has to do with Lupine III.

Then,

I will lead you to him.

This place is full of owls, huh?

Your master must have a real obsession.

Owls are Minerva's servants.

She is the goddess of wisdom and goddess of medicine.

I understand ... very appropriate for a pharmaceutical company.

These are the Count's rooms.

Thank you for bringing me, Inspector!

I know you're in contact with Lupine III.

What are you looking for?

The pharmaceutical company you helped

has amassed a huge fortune through shady friendships.

Does the word "Vertigo" mean anything to you?

The sect that co-opted believers under the influence

of that ridiculously named drug has been destroyed.

Luck would have it that the author was Lupine.

Who knows who your client was.

I'm sure you know.

Of course ...

the pharmaceutical company was the mastermind behind that cult and used it to test drugs.

It was a cover!

The drug artificially overwrites the personality.

It was used in the CIA's MKULTRA project experiments.

Yeah, there was this behind the truth serums

created with LSD and Pentothal.

Really scary.

These so-called ... pharmaceutical mafias

they were always making new conspiracies because of the Cold War.

In other words, they created fear.

People can be controlled by fear alone.

By keeping people in check by making them doubt each other,

they managed to monopolize an immense fortune.

You and I need to discuss how you ruined my sleep last time.

Hey, old man ... sorry to have to bother you at night.

A machine?

Rather elaborate, too.

Fraulein Hoyle.

Fraulein Hoyle.

"Minerva's owl only spreads its wings at sunset."

Hegel?

Oh? So tell me, when will that butterfly spread its wings ...

Lupine III?

Who cares?

When Hegel saw in Napoleon the Weltgeist at the height of his career,

he felt that the end of an era was coming.

I ... I can feel it even now.

Minerva, the goddess of war who rules not only wisdom but also justice.

I can hear that glaucous owl flapping its wings.

Fraulein Hoyle.

Fraulein Hoyle.

This is how the end will come ...

along with darkness.

I'll ask you again.

I wish you would steal Fujiko Mine ...

Lupine III.

Continuing down this road

we will find a town called Eulenspiegel.

In that place there are only ruins and it is forbidden to enter.

I do not care.

Take us there.

Yes, sir.

I will steal the Fraeulein Hoyle, made in secret on the island of a religious sect. Lupine III.

Fraeulein Hoyle, huh?

I was able to have some of the crystals analyzed by the lab

the drug Lupine wanted to steal.

When did you ...

How to prepare a pure drug

is not something a cult can figure out on its own.

I knew there must be someone behind it.

And once again they tried to contact Lupine.

What will they want?

The answer...

we should find it in the abandoned buildings of Glauco Pharmaceuticals.

Fraulein Hoyle.

Fraulein Hoyle.

Fraulein Hoyle.

Who are you?

This is not a place where you and your fellows can be.

And who would you be?

I am...

Dr. Fritz Kaiser.

They abandoned me in this town.

A doctor, huh?

So, what place is this?

It is the destroyed city whose name has been wiped off the face of the Earth.

This is Eulenspiegel.

And here stands the building where the fear of death is produced,

the research facility of Glauco Pharmaceuticals

In this place, experiments were conducted on people's minds.

But Japanese scientists also took refuge there.
