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. As Tomoe lays dying, Mattea becomes further enraged due to Tomoe taking her life from her, and still intending to fight Lupin, which he agrees to. During their fight, Zenigata arrives, revealing Arianna has just regained consciousness, and after Lupin tells Mattea to decide by her own standards how she'll be a crook, she agrees and is arrested. Lupin and the crew break into the safe to receive the box, only to barely survive one last death trap from Tomoe. He realizes the box was on her the entire time, and after reclaiming it and burning down the house, he throws it into the fire, deciding that his present with everyone is more important than learning his roots. Later, Mercedes breaks out of prison, no longer caring about surpassing Lupin, and Zenigata resumes his chase with Lupin and his crew. (Source: Wikipedia)
