Are you familiar with the term "book move"?

Do you think I'm stupid?

You're referring to the long-studied tactical openings of chess.

Yes.

For example, e4.

e5.

Nf3.

Nc6.

Bc4.

A beautiful opening!

This chess opening is called the Italian Game.

And what's my next move?

This is Italy, the land of love.

You must achieve the ultimate love!

The ultimate love?

What are you plotting, Masked Earl?

Based on the large investment you've made in me, you must be after something big.

All I want is to win the game.

In other words...

I want the king.

What's taking them so long?

How long are they gonna make me wait?

Sir?

Oh, finally!

There's a phone call for you.

You come all the way to Italy,

and you go straight to a sushi bar. I thought you had more vision than that.

Is that what you called to say?

I'm hanging up.

Wait.

It looks like someone wants Rebecca Rossellini to pay.

Rebecca? Who's that?

Don't forget her.

She's your next target.

Oh, that's right.

Anyway, what about her?

Someone beat you to it.

She's been kidnapped?!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Sheesh!

Can't a man eat in peace?

Wait! You didn't pay for that!

The kidnapping victim is Rebecca Rossellini.

She's the daughter of San Marino's prestigious Rossellini family

and the young president of the Rossellini Group, who run the largest hotel chain in Italy.

Since debuting as a model at 16, she's gone from fashion designer to singer, actress, and author.

She's also queen of the gossip columns, rumored to have had affairs with countless politicians, athletes, and more.

Pops!

Lupin, what have you come to Italy for?

You didn't come to dine and dash, did you?

I'm too busy to answer that right now!

It’s no use!

These handcuffs were specially made for you.

Give up and stop the car.

What we need to stop is the train.

The train?

Let's begin...

the Italian Game.

Is that it?

What?

Do not resist!

Surrender quietly!

Hey, what's going on?

How dare you take my treasure!

Your treasure?

What are you after?!

Oh, uh, just talking to myself.

You're not going anywhere!

Hey!

What the hell do you think you're doing?!

What are you waiting for?! Go!

Make up your mind!

That’s my sushi! Give it back!

Get off me!

Now I'm really mad.

Just stop the car!

Sorry, but a woman’s life is at stake.

A woman’s life?

Yeah.

There's a supermodel on that train by the name of Rebecca Rossellini.

My Rebecca, everything rests on how you decide to answer.

If you refuse to marry me,

the train will continue to explode,

and it'll fall into the lake instead of making it around the sharp turn that's 20 minutes up ahead.

Kaboom!

Is that what you want?

If you resist,

the explosions will speed up.

You can either choose to be my wife, or you can die here with me.

Madam, perhaps you should do as he wishes to give us a chance to escape.

No way!

I won’t say yes, even if it’s a lie!

Then we’ll die together.

I don't know what you're trying to do, but you should let the police take care of it!

You were saying?

Looks like they're going to be out of commission for a while.

Yeah, yeah! So, how are you planning on saving her?

We'll jump onto the train without them noticing and then rescue Rebecca.

It'll be a piece of cake if we work together.

Are you armed?

This makes two.

Can't you go any faster?!

Take these cuffs off if that's what you want!

It's impossible to drive with this thing on!

Huh?

Hey, get out of the way!

What the hell are you doing?!

Stop it! Cut that out!

I haven't eaten anything all day!

It's your fault for being a bad driver!

Just focus on driving!

Damn it!

Now, which chess piece will be the one to survive?

So, what's your end game?

I'm the one who got you your weapons.

I think I have a right to know.

This is a game.

A game?

A game to capture Rebecca Rossellini's heart.

So the treasure you're after has something to do with her?

You'll find out soon enough.

I can't believe you. If she dies, all our plans are for nothing.

Capturing her heart is no easy task.

It's a gamble we have to take if we're going to find the king.

I wonder what inheritance Count Cagliostro left.

A wildfire?

Yes, sir.

The rogue train is headed right into a wildfire.

We've been able to stop all other trains.

This isn't good.

At this rate, the train is headed straight into a fireball!

All right, I'm going in.

Wait, the handcuffs!

Hey, you'd better not miss.

Shut up! You're making me lose focus!

Watch where you're aiming!

Why are you the only one who gets to eat?!

Hey, Lupin!

A bridge!

Go, Lupin!

If you stop that train, I'll fillet this fish and make you sushi myself!

I'm gonna hold you to that.

Sushi's not bad in Italy.

The train shows no sign of slowing down.

The police are as of yet unable to interfere.

What's with that car?

Oh, he's really going for it.

Okay, give me your Walther.

I'm going to break these handcuffs.

I'm not letting you lose my gun this time.

Take the wheel.

I'll do it.

Ready?

Watch where you shoot that thing!

D-Drive properly.

Are you trying to kill me?!

Is this some kind of joke, Lupin?

Come on, you bastard.

Huh?

Shit!

Great.

Now we'll never get these cuffs off.

Looks like we're going to have to...

...jump onto the train together.

Pops.

Let's jump on the count of three.

All right.

One! Two!

Thr—

Huh?!

Not so fast!

To the left!

What if there's another oncoming train?!

Okay!

Let's try again, Pops!

Wait. But if we're unarmed...

how will we suppress...

the perpetrator...

I have no idea what you're trying to say, Pops.

I said, we're unarmed!

We're handcuffed!

How are we supposed to catch the guy?!

Isn't it obvious?

We're almost out of time.

So you've decided to die with me?

Never!

Then you'll marry me?

Never times infinity!

Then we'll die together.

It's an honor for me to spend the end of your life with you.

Kaboom!

What better place to end it all than in a gorgeous lake?

This is our last chance.

Yeah.

One, two, three!

What?!

Who are you?!

I'll be taking Rebecca back.

What the hell?

Who are you to her, anyway?!

I'm her fiancé. Let's just leave it at that.

What?!

I'm Rebecca's fiancé!

My phone!

How dare you!

Ouch.

Uh-oh! The turn.

Up, Lupin!

Fall!

Rebecca, let's fall to our deaths together!

We're going to roll over!

You're coming with us too!

Pops.

Lupin.

And so, that marks the end of our truce, Lupin!

Huh?

Thanks for your help!

And don't forget about getting me the sushi you promised!

Wait, Lupin!

Excuse me.

Could you tell us about what went down here?

I'm busy right now!

Till we meet again, Rebecca Rossellini.

Rebecca.

You never told me you had a fiancé.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb.

Lupin came and saved you.

Lupin?

Enough. Let's go.

Hey, Rob. Is Lupin...

It's the same name as the international master thief.

Really? That Lupin saved me?

Who knew you'd end up on a lovely drive with Zenigata?

That's not funny.

By the way, Goemon was asking what the next plan was.

Don't tell him yet.

He can never keep a poker face.

Oh, Gaspare.

I saw the news.

You're the one who saved Rebecca, aren't you?

I take it you're planning on fighting the Masked Earl?

Who could back down after getting this?

To the descendant of master thief Lupin

To the descendant of master thief Lupin

Before Rebecca's kidnapping

"To the descendant of master thief Lupin"?

"Somewhere in this country lies the ancient lost treasure of Cagliostro.

Let's see which of us will be the first to find it.

Yours truly, the Masked Earl."

Masked Earl? Who is that?

I don't know, but sending me a challenge like this is impressive.

Balsamo Estate

Balsamo Estate

I wasn't the one who sent this.

But you're the heir to the Balsamo estate.

That I am.

One of your ancestors, Giuseppe Balsamo, was a notorious con artist.

He was also known as Count Cagliostro.

During the 18th century,

the count posed as a doctor, an alchemist, and a master of the occult to swindle most of Europe's elite.

He was later caught and imprisoned at San Leo Castle, where he eventually died.

There were theories that he escaped the prison,

but no one knows for sure.

Isn't this just a way to get us descendants to face off?

Please don't speak ill of my ancestors.

Count Cagliostro was no fraud.

He was a noble man who performed miracles and cured countless people of incurable diseases.

History has it wrong.

That's a lot of love for your ancestor.

Well, no matter who the Masked Earl is, the treasure of Cagliostro will be mine.

I have a name, and it's Lupin the Third!

I don't like being called a descendant.

But it's strange how one of Rebecca's silly fanboys would be able to cause such an incident.

That just means that the Masked Earl must be pulling the strings.

Does that mean the treasure of Cagliostro has something to do with Rebecca?

What does it matter to you?

Please let me help.

You seem motivated. What's with you?

I want to prove that my ancestor, Count Cagliostro, was innocent.

I'm Sergio of the Bolzano Police Department.

What does the Italian police want with me?

We were informed you were working with Lupin the Third on the Rebecca kidnapping incident.

It wasn't because I wanted to.

It was a temporary arrangement until Rebecca was safe.

So Lupin the Third is here in Italy?

Where Lupin goes, there is sure to be treasure.

I'll find out what he's up to and arrest him!

Just stay out of my way!

Rebecca, how are you doing?

Rebecca, let's sail around the world on my yacht.

We can travel to space if that's what you want.

I will take you through time in a time machine.

That's an outright lie!

Don't be absurd!

They're all so boring.

The gossip never ceases with you,

even among all of the businessmen and royalty gathered here.

Look who the cat dragged in.

Hunting for more gossip?

At your service. I should be thanking you for keeping me employed.

It's not me.

Everyone here is interested in the power of the Rossellini Group.

It's my status as president they're after, not me.

Well, it's thanks to the influence of your parents that you're able to live this life too.

That's true.

If there's any good gossip, I'll be the first to leak it to you.

Just be sure to make it juicy.

Ms. Rebecca Rossellini.

This is for you.

This evening I'll come to kidnap you, from Lupin the Third

This evening I'll come to kidnap you, from Lupin the Third

The pieces are all gathered.

There can only be one person...

who gets the king.

Republic of San Marino

Republic of San Marino

Hey, Pops, you came!

Stop this wedding!

Who is that, your boyfriend?!

Of course not!

You'd never get married!

I thought it was time I tied the knot.

You can't fool me!

You're planning something again!

Hey! Keep your voice down!

This is so funny! It's like a scene out of a movie!

Go, go!

Please restrain yourself, madam!

Remove him!

Out of my way!

Come with us!

What are you doing?! Let me go!

Stop! Do you know who that man is?!

He's...

Okay, everyone, let's get back to the task at hand and continue with this ceremony.

Hey, Rob.

Take this away.

Madam, if I may be so bold, this was made by a three-star chef.

I don't care how many stars he has. Get me a huge plate of fries instead.

Also, that pianist is annoying me. Get rid of her.

Y-Yes, madam.

You didn't need to do that, Rebecca.

She was celebrating for us.

It's just not my style.

Oh...

She's even worse than they say.

Why would a girl like her want anything to do with Lupin?

Lupin fell in love with her at first sight.

Lupin did?

And things moved real fast, and here we are.

What a farce.

What, Fujiko? You're not going to stay to the end?

I gave you a wedding present.

Isn't that enough?

Don't be so cold!

What do you plan on doing regarding your work from here on in?

I'll probably just spend the rest of my days tinkering with our garden here in San Marino.

Is that so?

Bye.

I'll probably never see you again.

Hey, don't say that.

Lupin!

Come over here! We're taking pictures!

Right away, honey!

Be honest.

You're jealous that another woman's taken Lupin from you, right?

Don't make me laugh.

Then why did you accept Lupin's invitation?

I could ask you the same.

You can't fool me that easily, you know.

Why would she do such a thing?

She always makes things so hard.

Wow, look at that second home.

This is my fifty-fifth home.

Your fifty-fifth?!

I have houses all over the world.

Mostly gifts from ex-boyfriends.

Is that where you got this expensive-looking wine too?

Apparently, this vintage wine is a one-of-a-kind.

Perfect for our first night together, don't you think?

Sweet talk like that makes this wine go straight to my head!

Oh yeah, there's something I want to show you!

What is it?! Show me anything you want, Rebecca!

What is this?

A private jet I designed for our honeymoon.

We're flying on that?

Of course!

After the ritual at the tower tomorrow, we're riding this all over the world!

We'll really stand out in that thing.

The world-famous Rebecca Rossellini is getting married.

I need to do something big to get people talking.

Why did you accept my proposal, anyway?

Why are you asking me that now? You're the one who hit on me.

Because, you know, I'm the only man in the world who can keep up with a woman like you.

But we've only known each other a month.

If I had to say something, I guess it was your face?

My face?

It's exactly my type of face.

So I'm your type, huh? I'll type you all up!

Then get undressed.

Huh?

My pleasure!

Rebecca!

You mustn't.

When did you get in here?!

That's not allowed until after the ritual tomorrow.

Who cares? We're married.

If you stay up too long, you will be late to the ritual tomorrow.

You have a hard enough time waking up in the morning as it is, madam.

You're so serious, Rob.

Yeah, so serious, Rob.

I'm a detective!

Release me!

I don't care who you are.

I obey my own justice.

I see. You seem like a decent man.

But I have my own justice too.

That man is a notorious thief who is active all over the world.

A man like that would never marry Lady Rebecca.

You still don't know what kind of man Lupin is.

Captain Patrick, this is an emergency situation!

What is it?

This arrived at the official residence.

"I'm coming to take the Royal Crown of Libertas at 7:00 this morning. Lupin the Third."

Lupin the Third!

See? I told you!

I'm a police investigator specializing in Lupin.

I know what cards he's holding!

Sorry, Rebecca.

It's all going to plan.

Let's meet on-site.

All right.

Oh, and also, Fujiko's getting suspicions.

She hates dragging her feet.

Yeah.

Annoying.

That he would deceive a man who was sincerely congratulating him on his wedding.

Don't be like that.

I'll buy you a cappuccino later, okay?

It's real good.

Do not belittle me.

What is your target?

The national treasure of San Marino, the Royal Crown of Libertas.

The only ones who know where it's kept

are the heads of the country's nine territories, better known as the "Nine Castles."

And the only day the crown sees the light of day

is during the "Farewell Ritual," held the day after a wedding within any of their families.

The bride wears the crown and celebrates her departure into married life.

The only people allowed to attend are those nine heads and their blood relations.

Why did you keep this from me?

Because you're the worst liar, and people can read your face like a book,

so Lupin told me to keep it from you until the very last minute.

Now then, let's go meet this treasure!

Legend has it that when Count Cagliostro was traveling as a doctor,

he cured the daughter of a noble San Marino family of her illness.

It's said that the count fell in love with her and presented her with the Royal Crown of Libertas.

It's now known as...

The treasure of Cagliostro.

I'm impressed.

I'm counting on you, Mine Fujiko.

This is the blood and pride of San Marino!

Who are you?

That crown is being targeted by the notorious thief, Lupin the Third.

What?!

Don't worry.

I'm here to stop him from having his way.

Captain Patrick is already guarding the tower.

Lord Marco, we should move the crown back to its storage location immediately.

Yes, you are right.

I'll do it.

Wait!

You're not Lupin, are you?

Of course not!

Hey, this isn't what we discussed.

What's Pops doing here?

Lupin!

Huh?

You've got a sixth sense for me, Pops.

Don't play dumb!

You sent this notice letter to the government residence, didn't you?!

What? I didn't send that!

You married into the family of one of the heads to bring out the crown and steal it.

Isn't that your plan?!

Jeez, Pops, I can't get anything past you.

Let's go.

Wait!

Hey! What happened to the Royal Crown?!

Lionello took it to its storage location.

I see.

Crap!

This way!

Thanks, Goemon.

I did not help you.

This is just a wedding gift.

Dammit! Stop, Lupin!

Who sent that letter, anyway?

I'm pretty sure I can guess.

What?

She's got a lot of guts using me as a pawn like that.

But she won't get away with this!

Stop right there!

Good work, Patrick!

Inspector!

That's the notorious female thief who's got Lupin wrapped around her finger, Mine Fujiko.

Taking my things, Fujiko? I'm not very impressed!

Huh?

I'll go after the woman. You get Lupin, Inspector!

All right!

No!

Thanks, Jigen.

You're always a handful.

That's mine! Give it back!

Nope, it's mine!

Fools! That belongs to San Marino!

Hand it over!

Yeah right!

Oh, Lupin, help me!

Huh?

Give me the royal crown.

If you don't, I'll toss her in solitary confinement and throw away the key.

What? Taking a hostage is pretty unfair, you know!

Who cares about her? She used your name and stole from us!

Agreed.

Lupin...

The royal crown.

Here.

You can have it, so let Fujiko go.

Hey, Lupin!

Fool.

Huh?!

That's a bunch of hard work out the window.

Are you sure about that?

We have secured Lionello.

Good.

Thank you so much, Inspector Zenigata.

He's the one you should be thanking.

He's quite the man.

That's very kind of you to say.

Sir Lionello, please place the royal crown in its storage location.

Yes.

Wait.

Those men are incredibly skilled.

Perhaps we should keep it with us until things die down.

But...

Good idea. He's trustworthy.

Then please, take good care of it.

Yes, sir!

You shouldn't do that.

Don't send out notice letters without telling the person you're sending them as.

How did you know it was me?

The letter wasn't sent to the location with the greatest target—the first tower, Guaita—

but to the governmental residence.

That was so Patrick, the man you're in disguise as, would be sent to guard the royal crown.

I'll go after Lupin.

Is the royal crown safe?!

Patrick? You just took it.

That was someone disguised as me!

What?!

While I was guarding the tower, I was attacked from behind...

No!

So I'm totally your type?

I might really fall for you if you say stuff like that...

Rebecca.

I thought I was doing a pretty good job.

How could you tell?

I could smell it a mile off.

That 1952 vintage wine that's a one-of-a-kind.

Oh!

Why'd you do it?

You're one of the heads, so you could've stolen the royal crown without accepting my proposal.

Well, I don't really care about this crown.

What?

Hey, wait!

I'm just in it for the thrill!

The thrill?

Ouch...

I knew as soon as you proposed

that this royal crown was what you were after!

Is that...

That's why I disguised myself as Patrick and played along in this thief game.

This kind of thing's exciting, you know!

I see.

So that's what your gossip queen history can be attributed to—your desire for the thrill.

Exactly!

So, here.

I got what I wanted, so you can have it.

Why?

But hey!

What about this kind of thrill?

What are you going to do now?

A screaming honeymoon!

You give new meaning to the word Bridezilla!

I'm still angry about you using my name and deceiving me!

Wait, time out.

My name's Lupin too.

What?

I'm your wife, Mrs. Lupin.

You're right...

But that's not the point!

Ouch...

Ouch!

Mrs. Lupin?

If you say so.

What are you swooning about?

Fujiko?!

So, what are you planning on doing with this?

I'm Lupin the Third.

I'm not going to beg anyone for anything.

You outwitted the great Lupin and got the royal crown for yourself.

That's quite impressive, madam.

Stop.

I lost, and I know it.

What?

It's so funny, actually!

That Lupin really is the best.

I shall secretly put the royal crown back where it belongs.

But how long are you planning on doing this kind of thing for?

Until I get bored.

I'm over it.

Give me back my wedding present.

Huh?

What are you talking about, Fujiko?

Isn't it obvious? Your marriage is a sham.

Huh?

Oh yeah!

I need to get her to sign the divorce papers!

Huh?

Fujiko, go after Rebecca!

Go by yourself.

And make sure you give me my wedding present back.

What a honeymoon.

You almost had me fooled, Lupin!

Pops?!

I had no idea you had another member in your gang.

What?

I don't know who he is or where he comes from, but you can tell me all about it back at the station!

C'mon, give me a break already!

Damn it, where did Lupin go?

May I help you?

Lupin is after the treasure of Cagliostro.

The treasure of Cagliostro?

Legend has it that in the 18th century, the notorious con man, Count Cagliostro,

proposed to the daughter of a distinguished family in San Marino.

His proposal gift to her was the Royal Crown of Libertas.

I see. It seems you're a pretty decent detective.

Don't underestimate the Italian police.

But you still don't get it.

If your story is true, there's no way Lupin would ever let the crown go.

Excuse me.

What were you thinking by just handing the crown to Rebecca?

That's right.

Isn't the crown the treasure of Cagliostro that we've been looking for?

If the Masked Earl is Rebecca, you've lost.

By the way, where is Goemon?

He's had enough of your pandering ways.

That Goemon is so rigid.

You're too flimsy.

Hey, wait! Just hear me out.

It's all part of the plan.

What do you mean?

That crown was decorated with jewels even I haven't seen before.

Where would Count Cagliostro have gotten such rare and valuable jewels?

It's said he dabbled in alchemy,

the practice of melting elements down and synthesizing new elements.

If these mysterious jewels were created as the result of his alchemy practice,

we should be able to find his atelier somewhere.

But there's no record of such a place existing.

All the more reason to believe it does.

I see.

There's the possibility we'll find something no one yet knows even exists.

Exactly.

Come to think of it...

I saw on the news about six months ago that there are treasures hidden within the San Leo Castle.

Treasures?

Who's that?

Only a handful of people know this phone number.

So why is it that you wanted to see me?

About returning my wedding gift, I found the perfect item.

And what would that be?

This.

"Excavated at San Leo Castle. A fragment of Marie Antoinette's necklace"?

That's right.

The great Queen's necklace swindle of the French Revolution.

The swindler Count Cagliostro was framed for it.

He spent the rest of his life in a San Leo prison,

but he hid a fragment of the necklace in a wall.

As always, you have a very discerning eye.

Oh, I thought you said you wanted to give me something in return for my wedding gift.

All right, I guess I can pop by.

I asked Lupin just like you said.

Good.

Are you sure we should have him go after it?

You have nothing to worry about. I'll guarantee your payment.

Yet you're careful enough to hide behind a monitor.

Are you trying to fool me?

Maybe you're too careless.

You've brought an uninvited guest.

Lupin?!

I trusted you, Fujiko.

How could you partner with some other guy without telling me?

How did you...

I had a hunch once you went after the Royal Crown of Libertas.

You've got good taste, Masked Earl.

I'm impressed, descendant of master thief Lupin.

I'm Lupin the Third.

I knew you'd be able to get your hands on the Royal Crown of Libertas.

What are you hiding behind a mask for?

Take it off and show yourself.

I will if you win.

But the game has just begun.

Let's see which of us can get their hands on the king first.

The king?

Challenge accepted.

Lupin, I know you're here!

What is this?

That Fujiko really played us.

This is the treasure of Cagliostro?

I'm going to win this game.

As I'd expect from Lupin the Third!

Don't be pathetic.

Your ancestors are probably turning over in their graves.

Huh?

Count Cagliostro's blood runs through your veins, doesn't it?

You don't care if your ancestor's treasure is taken by someone else?

You're right.

But God is cruel.

Even though we're all descendants, there is the master thief and a superstar company president.

I'm just the heir to a crumbling estate.

Would everyone just drop the whole "descendant" thing and stop whining?

I'm sorry.

Enough chatter.

Let's get to work and finish this.

It's not that simple.

Huh?

The Crown Prince of England has taken an interest and is here to see the discovered necklace.

The Crown Prince of England?

That means security will be tight.

And of course, that means MI6 of the British intelligence.

That's not good.

Maybe we should postpone.

And what if the Masked Earl goes after it?

We're doing it.

I can take on any opponent.

No harm can come to the prince.

Make sure all of you keep on your toes.

Yes, sir!

Madam, this came to the hotel.

To Mrs. Lupin

To Mrs. Lupin

Still can't let go of me, can you, Lupin?

Who are you?!

I'll be right there, my Marie Antoinette!

I thought I shook you.

How did you know I was here?

This is Squad B. I have apprehended the suspect!

Are you hearing this?!

Get out of there now!

Whassa matter, Jigen?

We're up against... too much...

Squad B here.

I will now begin interrogating the suspect.

Jigen Daisuke.

What's a dirty contract worker and sharpshooter like you doing in San Leo?

Sightseeing, that's all.

Welcome, James!

Hey, Rebecca. It's great to see you.

You've got lots of time today, right?

Do I?

We are leaving San Leo at 4:00 PM.

Like he said.

I have to check out that fragment of Marie Antoinette's necklace they dug up yesterday.

Really? I was all ready to show you a good time!

Forget about that ugly necklace and come out drinking with me!

Hey, don't treat a lady like that.

You're certainly a free spirit.

You're the only person in the world who can talk to the Crown Prince of England like that.

I know. It's great.

You're too much.

Your highness, we do not have the time.

She has something planned.

Yay!

Let's go!

Oh, wait!

What's your aim?

Why are you in San Leo?

He's a tough one.

His silence is your answer.

What do you mean, Nyx?

According to our intel, this man is the partner of the thief Lupin the Third.

If he's this dedicated, then this is 99.95% Lupin related.

Which means he's after...

This is Squad C.

Mine Fujiko confessed.

So it's the Marie Antoinette necklace.

Yeah. Just as you suspected.

Mine Fujiko, are you involved in this too?

Don't pin this on me.

I just told Lupin I wanted the necklace fragment in return for the wedding gift I gave him.

But I didn't expect Lupin to actually take it seriously.

Leave it to me.

It's no use.

The necklace... is already in his hands.

It sure is.

Okay, then. Better make my escape.

We are now moving to protect the necklace.

We're counting on you.

If anything were to happen during the Crown Prince's visit in Italy, it would lead to trouble.

Complete this mission before the Crown Prince leaves his hotel at 16:30.

We are on Code Red level surveillance.

For the purpose of this mission, I am giving you permission to kill.

Understood.

What are the search results?

Search target, Lupin the Third.

There is no evidence that he has escaped above ground.

Give me a map of the underground waterways.

Right away.

Target located. Probability of mission success: 100%.

Oh?!

I'm going to have to take back the necklace fragment.

Nope.

Hey, let me have a cigarette.

Sorry, but I don't like guys in that way.

How long is this meeting going to last?

Until the mission is complete.

Which means I have to stay here for the rest of my life.

No more than 15 minutes more. You'll be out of here soon.

You sure about that?

I have a license to kill.

I don't have anything against you personally,

but I've been ordered by HQ to get rid of you if you resist.

You mean it's okay to kill, as long as it's for the good of the nation?

Hand over the necklace.

If you want it so bad, come and get it.

As you wish.

I have new information.

In exchange for this information, I'd like to be a part of the Lupin investigation.

He's a notorious international thief, after all.

If we capture him, it will strengthen the reputation of the Italian police.

It'll depend on what your information is.

It's Mine Fujiko's hideout.

Uh-oh, that ain't good.

Chance of mission completion: 100%.

That was close! Not again!

How did he get ahead of me?!

What's going on?!

Can you see the future or something?!

Probability of mission completion: 100%.

I'm not a whack-a-mole!

Five, four, three, two...

It's over now!

Chance of success: 99.8%.

Not a problem. It's within the margin of error.

Four minutes to go. Almost time.

You're late, Lupin.

Sorry. I ran into a little trouble.

How'd you get away from Nyx, though?

Nyx? Who's that?

The guy who was chasing you.

Really? What's with his cool name?

It's probably a code name.

For some reason he always knows where you're running.

That's how I ended up like this.

It's just a stupid trick.

Wow. You got here pretty quick.

Crap!

I was sure I had you back in the underground waterway.

How?!

The first time we met,

you tapped your foot and used that sound to immediately find where I was hiding.

And when I threw the smoke bomb,

the first thing you covered was your ear.

I realized then that you can use sound to see— that it was a form of echolocation.

Right. Like what a blind bat does.

Yeah. All I had to do was mess with that a little.

After going through the crossroad junction point, I ran a while until he picked up on where I was going.

I waited until I knew you'd left the waterway, and then I went back.

You're very pleased with yourself.

Just because you figured out one of my powers doesn't mean you've won.

Oh yeah? So what other powers do you have?

Are you like an owl? Or a cockroach?

99.8%.

The chance of success, according to my calculations.

Your likelihood of survival is almost nonexistent.

Hey, thanks. 0.2%! That's pretty encouraging.

Checkmate.

Give me the necklace.

Over my dead body!

I don't understand you.

You're just a thief. Why are you putting your life on the line for that necklace?

It's for the woman I love.

Mine Fujiko, huh?

You'd go this far for a woman?

You're no better than an ape.

What about you?

Look how far you're going for your country.

You're no better than a dog.

You'll regret not heeding your warning.

Wait.

So you're finally begging for your life?

Since I'm about to die, at least let me have a last smoke.

Have you set something up in your cigarette to allow you to escape?

No way. Go ahead and check. I don't care.

I'll give you 30 seconds...

Any funny business and I'll shoot you immediately.

That's more than enough.

I can't believe this is my last cigarette.

Let's make the most of it.

It's time.

Aim for me right here.

It's an emergency.

Make your way to the hotel immediately.

What is going on, sir?

The Crown Prince is under attack by someone.

What about my current mission?

The necklace is no longer needed. Hurry!

Yes, sir.

It looks like luck is on your side.

You didn't know? You make your own luck.

Your lives are saved.

Hmph. After everything you put me through, that's it?

You're right, Jigen.

Looks like we had a bad opponent this time.

It was all set up here.

What kind of a sick joke is this?

Lupin! This isn't what you said before!

"Let's go for a thrill ride together.

Today at 4:00 PM, I'll take the life of the Crown Prince of England, who's scheduled to stay in your hotel.

Then your favorite gossip columns will tear down the reputation and stock price of your hotel chain.

If you don't want to lose, then don't tell anyone about this and protect the Crown Prince.

This game takes place on the roof of the hotel.

Sincerely, your dear Lupin."

Sorry about that, Rebecca.

I used you as insurance for this treasure.

What?! What are you talking about?!

I knew MI6 would get involved if I went after the necklace,

but I didn't want to have to deal with them head on.

So I set up some toys that emit smoke and gunshot sounds at 4:00 PM exactly.

And I sent you a notice so you'd bring the Crown Prince up to the roof.

I just had to bide my time until 4:00 PM, and I knew the place would break out in a panic.

Nobody would care about the necklace anymore.

Seriously! There I was, all ready for a full-on fight with you!

Oh, by the way, can you sign the divorce papers?

Huh?

Boring!

I guess he's not just an ape.

This is so frustrating!

Haven't you had enough?

You should discontinue your thievery.

No way!

Do you understand your own position?

If the Rossellini Group's reputation is tarnished—

I didn't want or ask to be president!

Madam...

Rob, I'm having the time of my life.

Ever since meeting Lupin.

How beautiful.

Don't you see now?

You'd be happier with me than with that clown, the Masked Earl.

That's true.

I was wrong about you.

Now, Fujiko, how about you put down that rock and we have a little fun?

Oh, silly Lupin.

Wait right there.

Oh, my feelings have finally gotten through to you!

Let's get started.

Here I come!

This is the end, Lupin!

Your timing is the worst, Pops!

That's too bad, Lupin.

See you later.

Lupin, I know you're after the treasure of Cagliostro!

You're coming with us.

Hmph, as if!

Don't resist.

You're unarmed anyway.

I see Fujiko left a present for me.

See you!

Lupin...

I can't believe you.

We worked so hard to get that treasure.

First, you gave the crown to Rebecca, and now you've given the necklace to Fujiko?

What exactly is your plan?

I'd like to know as well.

Goemon.

I understand.

Lupin, I assume we have a chance of winning?

Of course.

What do you mean?

It's not just the Royal Crown of Libertas.

That necklace fragment also contained unknown jewels.

If Count Cagliostro hid those jewels during his imprisonment,

it limits where we might find the atelier where he made them.

The dungeon where he was held captive is where we'll find his secret.

Then we must hurry!

Agent Nyx is the Masked Earl, right?

What makes you say that?

Because he's the one who almost got you.

And the Masked Earl isn't our only opponent anymore.

Mine Fujiko, Rebecca, Inspector Zenigata... We have to find the treasure before they do!

Yeah, you're right.

The gossip queen has outdone herself this time.

If word were to get out that the president of the Rossellini Group has a secret identity,

I'm sure the market will have a field day with all Rossellini companies' stock prices.

Go ahead and write your story if you want!

No, madam!

It's my company and I can do what I want!

You are held to your responsibilities as the head of the Rossellini Group.

Your life is not just your own.

How much do you want?

I have a different suggestion.

All right, we're heading to the final stage.

That's checkmate, descendant of master thief Lupin.

It will be my name...

that's recorded in history.

Please forgive me.

My lack of vigilance led to this terrible situation.

What are you apologizing for?

I'm actually grateful.

What?

I get to play with Lupin again.

Madam...

Rob, what you said earlier...

You are held to your responsibilities as the head of the Rossellini Group.

Your life is not just your own.

Then what is my life?

What am I living for?

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

These are the seeds I've sown.

Let's go get the treasure of Cagliostro and save the honor of the Rossellini Group.

Yes, madam.

Stop right there!

That voice...

The treasure will be mine for the taking.

No!

What is this ridiculous trap?!

The Rossellini Group has purchased San Leo Castle, so it's my property now.

Huh?

Just stay put until we find the treasure of Cagliostro.

Oh, come on!

Buying a castle is a pretty big purchase.

Will you get a return on your investment?

It doesn't matter.

I'm after the thrill.

Rob.

Are you sure, madam?

Just do it.

Right away.

I'm counting on you, Jigen, Goemon.

Look who's here. How did you find me?

You've underestimated the Italian police.

Inspector, I'll leave Lupin to you.

I will secure the treasure.

You don't have to tell me twice.

Lupin, I'm not letting you get away this time.

You've had the wool pulled over your eyes, Pops.

What does that mean?

This is the dungeon where Count Cagliostro was held.

I've never seen this kind of sparkle.

This must be the treasure of Cagliostro.

I see.

This is just one of his creations.

So this is the con man's—

No, the great alchemist Count Cagliostro's atelier.

Lupin!

If you're looking for your gun, it's here.

It's impossible to build something this large while being imprisoned.

I'm sure he was bribing the guards.

But I have to say, Count Cagliostro was a bit of a romantic, huh?

What?

He built all of this to give shape to the love he had for the women in his life.

The Royal Crown of Libertas was made for the woman in San Marino.

Then he tried to send a necklace to Marie Antoinette.

Who knows who the intended recipient was for that ring?

I guess there's no way to know now.

Your act stops here, Inspector Sergio.

Act?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Stop pretending.

You sent me a fiery challenge to find the treasure of Cagliostro.

He's the Masked Earl?

Right on the money, Fujiko!

But it's slightly more complicated than that.

What's that supposed to mean?

The Masked Earl had a complex plan to find these treasures.

Like an intricate game of chess.

Stop speaking in circles and just tell us!

Fujiko's partner, the Masked Earl...

Rebecca's dedicated paparazzo, Salo...

Pops' investigative partner, Inspector Sergio...

They're all the same person.

It looks like you didn't expect the MI6 to get involved,

but you were still able to move all of the chess pieces here.

Isn't that right,

Gaspare Balsamo?

How did you figure out it was me?

You said it.

And the Masked Earl isn't our only opponent anymore.

Mine Fujiko, Rebecca, Inspector Zenigata... We have to find the treasure before they do!

Fujiko was the only one who had figured out what the treasure was at that point,

but you named Rebecca and Inspector Zenigata too.

You already knew that all of us would be coming to San Leo Castle.

And of course we would.

You were leaking the information to us, after all.

It's not good to have chess pieces who are too clever.

I knew something was fishy.

Bastard!

Why would you play games with us?!

Because of the pride of having Count Cagliostro's blood running in my veins.

To deceive people, treat them as chess pieces, and have them lead me to the target, the king.

The more notorious the chess pieces, the more legendary I will become.

I will be remembered for generations!

So your real goal was...

To fool all of us and take the treasure for himself.

In other words, he wanted to recreate a modern Cagliostro legend.

That's right.

But you weren't able to fool us to the end.

I'm still the first to get the treasure.

The count was more cautious than we thought.

I didn't expect he would've set a trap for any would-be intruders.

Could this be the universal solvent that he used in his alchemy?

Wait a second.

Does that mean this whole place is gonna dissolve?

Lupin! At this rate, we're gonna fall into the abyss!

I know that!

Running away as soon as you've laid eyes on the treasure?

You lose, Lupin the Third.

By treasure, do you mean this?

You've missed the most important point.

It isn't about who gets the treasure first.

It's about who has it last.

I can see the disappointed look on the face of Count Cagliostro now.

What did you say?!

It's sad to have an heir who uses his ancestor's accomplishments to justify himself.

You could never become Count Cagliostro.

You're not in a position to say that to me!

You've benefited as the heir to the blood of master thief Lupin!

You're the same as me!

I don't give a shit who my ancestor was.

Always causing trouble, aren't we?

Why would you save that guy?

I'm only repaying a debt.

If he hadn't challenged me in the first place, I wouldn't have this treasure at all.

I'm my own person.

I'll do what I want, the way I want.

That's who Lupin the Third is.

Lupin...

I leave this to you, Pops.

What?!

Keep up the good work!

Come back here!

Lupin!

If there were a modern-day Count Cagliostro, it'd be Lupin.

Huh?

Don't you see?

He leaves the treasures he steals to the women in his life,

like the Royal Crown of Libertas and Marie Antoinette's necklace fragment.

Madam, as the heir to the group,

you should act more appropriately going forward.

I'm my own person.

I'll do what I want, the way I want.

That's who Lupin the Third is.

Madam, are you listening?

Rob, I'm my own person.

What?

I'll do what I want, the way I want.

That's who Rebecca Rossellini is!

Who did she take after anyway?

Let's play again soon, Lupin.

Oh crap!

You laugh so innocently

Hey! Rebecca, wait!

Come back!

You make merry and sing a song

Sign the divorce papers!

Hey, Rebecca!

For it's the end

of a wonderful evening

I remove my makeup

and put on my gown

I take your tie off

for you and set it down

The crescent moon slips through

the silk clouds outside the window

Now that we're finally alone

let's dance

That was a masterpiece.

Don't you think, Madam?

Ms. Rebecca Rossellini.

This is for you.

As I light a candle

I glimpse a different side of you

in the faint darkness

and I simply adore it

When you got too worked up and tired out

you hid your heart from me

The fragments of that memory

Lupin.

lulled me into heartbreak

But the twinkling stardust forges

steps into the starry sky

which reach all the way to the moon

So let's climb them

"This evening I'll come to kidnap you. Lupin the Third."

Let's climb them together
