Lupin and Mattea's fight is broken up by Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko's arrival. The three demand proof that Tomoe is really Lupin's mother, so she reveals the box is located in the original safe. Lupin then reveals that he's been free of her brainwashing for a while, thanks to his strong memories and bond with his crew bringing him back to his senses, and had come up with the plan to get her to reveal the box's location right after getting shot. He figures out the box, rather than containing proof of Tomoe's parentage, contains information regarding his true roots. Tomoe laughs manically, stating that she will continue to use more women and methods to get Lupin to become hers, causing Mattea to snap and try to kill her, only for Lupin to shoot her first...
