[edit] Summary
After another daring heist, Lupin finds himself stolen; he is kidnapped by the crime lord Malchovich, and is forced to agree to steal the infamous 'Bull's Eye' jewel - or Fujiko will be killed by a bomb strapped around her neck. However, Lupin's progress is hindered by a young woman named Becky, who is out to prove herself by outdoing him in the field of thievery. She turns out to be the daughter of Cat, Lupin's first partner in crime...and her father's identity is anyone's guess.
Eventually, it's revealed that the Malchovich and company have set everything up to acquire the fabled "Lupin Collection" - the valuables Lupin has amassed during his long and successful career. With a couple of highly skilled warriors in his employ, Malchovich is determined to get rid of Lupin once and for all. But there are of course a couple of surprises awaiting for both sides of the conflict...
[edit] Trivia
- Becky's age is said to be 18, as old as Lupin was when he worked with Cat. This puts his age at about 36 years - the only time any allusion has been made to this subject.
- It is hinted at the end of the show that Becky may be Lupin's daughter - judging from his startled reaction when Lupin is suggested with the notion of dating Becky (unusual due to Lupin's lecherous nature) and the fatherly act Lupin undertakes during the show - such as saving her, teaching her how to wield a gun, and many other hints throughout the film. However, there is also supporting evidence for Lupin being her father. The answer is left as ambiguous as most of the heroes' personal details - a characteristic of the series.
