Lupin the Third: A Woman Called Fujiko Mine (2012): Season 1, Episode 10 - Ghost Town - full transcript

Lupin investigates a group of owl people who desire Fujiko and begins to learn more about Fujiko's past while fighting off illusions brought on by a strange drug.

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.

{\ fs26 \ pos (215,210)} A woman named Fujiko Mine

{\ fs40 \ pos (110,74)} LUPINE Third

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.

{\ fs25 \ pos (190,210)} 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.

{\ an8 \ c & H6344C6 &} 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.

{\ fs20 \ pos (190,210)} 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...

{\ an9} 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.

{\ an8 \ c & H010104 & \ 3c & HFFFFFF & \ bord3.5} 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.

One of them was my wife.

You and I together ...

we have extracted and crystallized a compound
derived from a certain plant

A water soluble hallucinogen

It had the property of causing
a temporary ...

euphoria.

If taken in excessive quantities,
it induced aggressive behavior,

and some began to
see men as owls.

- Owls? -
Exactly.

At some point, some subjects
took the drug

they only started shouting
"Fraulein Hoyle".

In a short time they
lost any faculty,

and became ...

permanent invalids.

Fraulein Hoyle?

What does it mean?

In German, it means
"miss owl".

You said "miss owl", huh?

Anyway ... why are you
still here all alone?

I'm looking for ...

my daughter.

That is called...

Fujiko Mine.

{\ fs20 \ pos (244,110) \ c & H010104 &} A woman named Fujiko Mine

{\ fs30 \ pos (290,90) \ c & H010104 &} LUPINE Third

{\ fs20 \ pos (265,20) \ c & H010104 &} A woman named Fujiko Mine

{\ fs31 \ pos (268,230) \ c & H010104 &} LUPINE Third

{\ fs25 \ pos (190,210)} 13 years ago

Best wishes.

We don't have the results
of the experiment yet.

No, professor.

- It's her birthday today,
isn't it? - Oh.

Really?

We also threw a party for your
daughter's birthday, remember?

I forbade my daughter from celebrating her
birthday by taking her away from there.

And despite this do you
want to celebrate mine?

Teacher...

The birthday party...

it is a ceremony without
any meaning

as it would be a funeral that one
cannot go to because it is his.

People make no particular distinction
between life and death.

Are you referring to the Memento mori ?

What is special is the fear that all
living creatures have of death.

The fear of dying ...

A leak has been detected in Sector C. Sector
C is about to be isolated.

Teacher!

- Sector C is about to be isolated.
- Professor, the mask!

Let's go to the emergency exit!

I left the reagents in the lab.
And my daughter is on the ward!

Teacher!

I absolutely have to find my daughter!

Is this how this place
fell apart?

Although an entire city has disappeared,
nothing has been heard.

This is because Glauco
Pharmaceuticals ...

he didn't want the
truth to come out.

They were afraid.

They had to stage a story to cover
up their misdeeds. Already'...

fear itself was what I aspired to.

But...

I lost control of it ...

and I just have the
eternal despair ...

together with my daughter.

Teacher?

Fujiko Mine?

A city erased from history.

Due to an accident that took
place thirteen years ago.

They only took reagents that had
not been clinically tested

and they closed this research institute.

Thirteen years ago ...

It coincides with the period of
greatest expansion of the sect.

The Fraulein Hoyle sect was a great
ground in which to experiment

for Glauco Pharmaceuticals

But that alone would not be
enough to motivate Lupine.

Inspector, did you know all
this from the start?

- But he didn't ... - I didn't
tell you anything, you say?

Who do you think you are?

Am I your subordinate?

No, obviously not.

Don't get in the way anymore.

You are free to follow me
from now on, but ...

Listen to me, this is my case.

Inspector.

To go that far ...

Professor, where is he?

You finally arrived, Lupine.

I was just thinking the
same thing about you.

Just when I was trying to have
some fun with Vertigo

and things were starting to
go well, you come, daddy.

Don't be an idiot, Lupine.

You don't care about
the narcotics sect

nor the immense luck you
could make with it.

What do you mean?

It's Fujiko Mine.

You're looking for the woman created
here in the human trials department.

Evidence of the evil pact that binds the
sect and the pharmaceutical company!

I'm sorry to interrupt you in
the middle of your speech,

but the clear evidence
is right behind you.

Hey, Lupine! Who are these guys?

Illusions!

They are generated by the Fraulein Hoyle!

If they were true illusions we wouldn't
have to worry about their bullets.

Want to give a try?

You are what they are looking for!

You know too much too.

The secret of the Count's
precious treasure.

There are too many.

You are right!

Teacher!

What are you doing here?

What is happening?

Hey!

How many other illusions are there?

Damn!

Ehi you!

This way!

Hurry up, come on!

Where we are?

This is part of my story, yet
it is also my whole story.

Hey...

You did experiments on
your daughter, right?

I thought ...

that the experiment would end
a long, brutal conflict.

That's why I offered my daughter.
But despite this ...

You were buried here along
with the whole city

and you have lost both your
research and your daughter.

So why save me?

I wanted you to save ...

my daughter.

# It's a new day! #

# Not like the evening! #

# You are special! #

# Today I feel special because #

# what day is it for me? #

Happy birthday!

Teacher?

He's not here anymore.

This is my story, after all.

Not exactly. All of this is
caused by Fraulein Hoyle.

I'll be back to normal when I wake up.

I wouldn't be so sure. There are people
who lose sight of the exit

and get stuck in a
story for life.

- Like the professor?
- Yes'.

How do I find the exit?

Use something connected
to reality to get me.

For example, pain!

Why should I get you?

Weren't you listening?

Because this is my story.

Damn.

I think I'll play along.

This way!

What a pity!

I'm here!

What am I chasing?

An illusion?

Fujiko Mine?

Here.

Fujiko.

Cabbage!

I've had enough.

Such as? Are you giving up?

You're about to disappear too, aren't you?

Do what you want.

Are you sure?

Yeah, go ahead.

This is my chance!

Socket!

Don't be so rude, Lupine.

Fraulein Hoyle.

Fraulein Hoyle.

What a beautiful sunset.

A perfect time
to meet death.

Teacher.

She is an illusion.

You are dead.

This is all just a story.

A story cannot give salvation.

Anyway, Lupine III ...

When you get your hands on her, the butterflies
will fly, and everything will collapse.

Inspector Zenigata!

Please, recover!

Glauco Pharmaceuticals covered up the
incident by wiping out the city.

Furthermore, they took away
the human experiments.

Dr. Fritz Kaiser's little girl,
whom he called daughter,

it was also a test subject, according
to disturbing rumors.

Hey, stop it.

Eulenspiegel is still
privately owned.

Do you want to make allegations with evidence
gathered through property abuse?

And what happened to Lupine?

Both the president of the pharmaceutical
company, Luis Yew Armeid,

that Lupine, they are both
looking for that woman!

Lupine will show up there, for sure.

Fujiko Mine!

This is'...

It wasn't a dream.

But that's the truth'?

Fraulein Hoyle.

This nightmare was ...

the story of a woman
named Fujiko Mine?
