Two.

Three.

What is it?

One week, and you're free.

So just tell us.

What did you do with Pellegrini?

How many times I gotta tell you?

I didn't do anything.

4 YEARS EARLIER

Hurry up.

Let's go. Quickly.

Hurry up!

Argentina. As promised.

Perfect.

No extradition agreement with France. Thirteen hours, and you're there.

Oh. I'm gonna miss you, my dear Assane.

Oh shit. I can't believe I'm free.

Okay, let's pretend... that I did escape with Pellegrini four years ago.

Then how come I came back?

Well, you're planning something.

Pretending to be a model inmate, but really, you're plotting.

Yep. You watch too many movies.

Hey.

How's it going, buddy?

-Fine. You? -Good.

So what's up?

I mean, life is boring.

Being a cop without your shit is a vacation.

Just wait. I'll be out.

-Meaning? -Next Monday.

They cut back my time for good behavior.

That's amazing.

How come you never told me?

Wanted to see the look on your face.

Well, it's a nice surprise. That's great.

And then what?

Take care of my boy.

Connect with him.

And finally try to be a real father.

Sounds like the right idea.

So this means that Lupin is really over?

Lupin is over. Case closed.

No.

Raoul?

No, Mom, I told you. You can't just walk in like that.

I told you not to come in.

What are you doing here? You'll be late for work.

Oh shit.

No, I won't.

Why not?

I meant to tell you. I quit.

-What happened? -I couldn't deal with my boss anymore.

-He was pissing me off. -Hey, hey, hey, hey! Watch your language.

Sorry.

I would've had to anyway.

Papa and I are taking a trip to Dakar next week.

They wouldn't have let me take time off.

Guess we'll have to throw your dad a party?

So you can tell him the news?

Yeah, I'm gonna have to.

Whatever.

Can I have some privacy so I can finish my workout?

How's the catalog?

Uh, yeah. Almost done.

You think he's jealous?

-Oh, he'll come around eventually. -Sure.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Behind you, sorry.

Relax, it's been delayed.

-Really? -Yeah.

This training is gonna be awesome!

-I brought sandwiches. -Thanks.

Your ticket.

What the hell?

Shit, it's a hacking attack.

Hello. This is Lupin. Did you miss me?

It's been four long years without me, hasn't it?

You thought I abandoned you?

Wrong.

I am back with a big surprise.

-The hell is this? -I know you're dying to know what it is.

So here we go.

Today, I will escape from prison and rob two separate museums

in two different cities.

You think it's impossible? There's no such word for Lupin.

Here's how it's going to go down.

At the Musée du Petit Palais in Avignon,

I will steal the painting known as The Furniture Repository Theft.

At the exact same time, at the Natural History Museum in Paris,

I will steal the Louis XIV Grand Sapphire.

Bold, flashy, and creative.

That's me.

Ah, I almost forgot.

All this will happen at eight o'clock on the dot,

which is in exactly 60 minutes.

Yeah, okay, thanks.

-Well? -All of Paris was hacked.

Every phone in the whole city, not just here.

Dammit.

Paris has been hacked by the world-famous Lupin,

a notorious thief who has pulled off a crime

never before seen in France.

The Ministry of the Interior has set up a crisis unit,

referring to the event as a security breach

of an unprecedented scale.

Raoul? You're here? Are you okay?

...reporting live from the scene.

You okay?

...situation here is particularly tense.

Law enforcement evacuated the museum immediately

and are sending reinforcements...

Where are you going?

Did you know?

What?

That he was planning this. Did you know?

Absolutely not. He's out in a few days. It makes no sense.

Raoul!

A devastating threat, or a publicity stunt?

No matter which, police are putting every effort

towards catching the perpetrator.

Officers have been deployed to both targeted sites.

I will be reporting from the scene as the situation develops.

Stay tuned.

My apologies, everyone.

Exit the building in an orderly fashion, please.

-Ladies and gentlemen! -Let's pick it up. Everybody out.

Follow my colleague towards the exit.

Commissioner, RIB has been sent to the Natural History Museum.

-How much time left? -Forty-five minutes.

RIB COUNTERTERRORISM

-That way. -This way. Let's go, right now.

LOUIS XIV'S GRAND SAPPHIRE

We've received no updates from the high-security prison

that is housing Assane Diop.

But we can assume that all precautions are being taken

to prevent the famous criminal from escaping.

GO

Open the cell.

-Diop. -Hey, guys.

-Hands behind you. -Relax.

-Hands behind you. -I've got nothing to do with this. Listen.

Just think about it logically! I'm being released in four days!

Why would I do this?

So, another one of your stunts, Diop?

Trying to make us look like idiots?

Quite the opposite.

I'm telling you, I have nothing to do with this.

Whoever's behind it is determined to have you think it's me.

Just keep me locked up in my cell, and see what happens.

Don't worry about it. We've thought of everything.

All right, get him ready!

PRISON ADMINISTRATION

Less than one week away from his release

and after four years of exemplary behavior,

the so-called "gentleman thief..."

I mean, it's totally crazy.

You really think it's him?

I don't know. It looks like him, yeah, but the method, well...

The question that is no doubt on everyone's mind...

It's a first.

What is Assane Diop planning?

Here's a list of the objects Lupin is targeting tonight.

Louis XIV's Grand Sapphire.

Assane never chose his targets by accident.

The sapphire, the painting... All royal artifacts.

Sound familiar?

The Furniture Repository Theft.

September 1792.

The biggest robbery in French history.

Rumor has it it was a fake robbery.

The nobility kept the treasure hidden, passed it down over generations.

Technically, it still exists, but only a few gems were ever found.

Come on, my man. The crown jewels of France!

Just picture it.

Ben? Are you listening? Ben?

-Ben! Can you hear me? -Huh? Yeah? Yes, I'm sorry. What is it?

Did Assane ever tell you about this painting?

No. Never did.

You know, I've been prison director for years,

but the psychology of criminals like you remains a mystery.

I know you don't believe me, but I had nothing to do with this.

So make sure that escape is impossible, and I'll prove it.

Because this is pathetic.

Rest assured, Mr. Diop.

Department heads just approved a new security system,

designed specifically for inmates like you.

I promise it won't disappoint you.

-Hey, Lupin! -Lupin!

Okay, then.

Tempered glass. Three centimeters thick.

Six-point locking system made of high-carbon steel.

Impenetrable lock.

Completely soundproof.

You'll be under the constant supervision of 80 other inmates

and ten of our best guards ready to jump if you so much as blink.

And now, if you'd be so kind.

Honestly? Well done.

I'm not used to this. It's great.

You're never getting out of there.

We got nine minutes.

LOUIS XIV'S GRAND SAPPHIRE

RIB COUNTERTERRORISM

Fifteen seconds.

Ten.

Come on, Assane. Don't do this.

Nine.

MONUMENTAL CYBERATTACK

One!

LOUIS XIV'S GRAND SAPPHIRE

Whoa, he's gone!

What happened? He was just there!

It's not possible!

Where is he? Where is he?

-The painting's gone. -Over there! Move, move, go!

LOUIS XIV'S GRAND SAPPHIRE

There!

Find him, now! Can't have gotten far!

Now, now, now!

What are you standing around for? Find him! Move your asses, let's go!

What is it now?

Breakout! Breakout! We need backup right now!

Copy. We're on our way!

Diop, stop or I'll shoot! I see him!

Sofia! Sofia, wait!

Back up! Back up now! I'm warning you! Back in your cells, immediately!

Sofia?

-How did this happen? -Get back! Go back to your cells!

On your knees, Assane, or I'll shoot!

Sofia! No! Help! Help!

No, no!

No!

Over here! Hey, Sofia!

Sofia, can you hear me? Sofia, answer me.

Get back! Get back!

Chief, look at this!

He... Somehow...

They see me.

Lupin!

Lupin, Lupin, Lupin!

It wasn't me!

What did you do?

Huh?

How could you do that to Sofia?

It wasn't me.

Stop lying. We saw you at the museum.

I'm not lying, I swear.

She might not make it.

Everyone knows Lupin's a liar.

But he's not a murderer.

That's my point.

It's not like Lupin.

So it can't be me.

Can I explain it to you?

Go ahead, then.

Transparent LED walls.

To create the illusion that I've vanished.

It's not possible!

Once the LEDs in the walls are activated,

the inside of the cage can no longer be seen from the outside.

A little like a one-way mirror.

To them, it seems like magic.

But I'm still in the box.

A glass cage can be technically complicated.

But here's how it works.

The metal structure of the cage is fitted with 360-degree mini cameras.

To operate the system,

whoever is behind all this

must have hacked into the prison's network and power grid.

That would allow him to control the video feed

on the LED screens.

Having taken control of the prison's power,

he can shut it down at exactly eight o'clock for a few seconds.

Just the time needed to activate the screens.

But it's only possible if the box is never opened.

Of course, he knew how to prevent the guards from doing that

because he had every single angle planned.

He unlocked all the cell doors.

How'd they get out?

Breakout! We need backup right now! Hurry!

I untied myself to let them know I was still there.

Yo. Guys, I'm right here!

And since the cage was soundproof, there was no way for me to communicate.

What's going on? Yo!

Hey, what's going on?

His plan was perfect.

I don't believe you, Assane.

Don't lie to me.

I looked it over.

We weren't the ones who approved the cage.

The signatures are forged.

Fine, LED walls, but I'm not convinced about the rest.

-So go on, continue. -Whoever it is is clever.

But it doesn't make him able to be in two places at once.

And from what I gather, he was only seen at the Paris Museum.

So the Avignon painting was stolen in advance.

The only problem, Assane,

is that there were ten officers guarding the painting.

The fire alarms all went off just before it vanished, right?

Yes.

I know how he pulled it off.

The painting they saw was a fake, printed on a hydrosoluble canvas.

Hydro what?

It dissolves when in contact with water.

Check the museum's drainage system.

You'll find traces of it.

I did it at the Manhattan Museum.

It's my technique, my signature.

We're dealing with a copycat, Guédira.

Someone who is clearly determined

to pin this on me.

We'll look into all of this.

-Search the bookshelf. -Here.

I think we found something.

What is this?

Okay, why would I hide it here if it were me?

Who would hate you that much?

Pellegrini.

He's the only one rich enough and crazy enough.

Hold on. How could it be Pellegrini?

So... so... So you helped him escape four years ago?

Yeah.

Well, am I allowed to know where he is?

Far.

Oh shit. I can't believe I'm free.

Everything packed up?

Yeah. All good.

Thanks.

No problem.

You cozy in there, Hubert?

Remember that time you brilliantly managed to expunge any proof

of your connection to Kuala Lumpur?

That was well played. Couldn't get charged in France.

But Malaysia is different.

What do you want, Diop?

I wanna keep my family safe. And that means far away from you.

Afterwards, I'll go back to prison and finish my sentence.

Try to get comfortable, Hubert,

'cause Malaysia also doesn't do extradition to France.

Have a nice retirement.

This isn't over, Assane.

I swear this isn't over.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, I'll really miss you too.

Not far enough.

You were this close.

This close to convincing me.

What is this?

That's you.

Listen to me, Assane.

I hope you had fun 'cause this is ten years minimum, you hear me?

New information has just come in regarding the Lupin affair.

It is now safe to say that the perpetrator of these remarkable heists

was indeed Assane Diop.

All evidence points to him as being responsible

for the attempted murder of a police officer

who was on the scene that night.

This unprecedented hacking stunt

that disabled the prison's security systems

has utterly stumped cybersecurity experts.

It has also prompted debate about the effectiveness of prison security

over their inmates.

At merely one week away from his release,

and after four years of exemplary behavior,

the "gentleman burglar" has turned the tables,

destroying all his efforts to resume a normal life upon his release.

The question that is on everyone's minds is,

"What was going through the mind of Assane Diop?"

I'm so sorry.

Assane would never do this.

Thanks for coming, son.

I only came so you could explain it to me.

Explain what?

I don't know. I mean...

You said you needed to go to prison so I'd be out of harm's way,

but here you are.

So I don't know. You change your mind again?

No, I haven't changed my mind.

I made the decision to go to prison.

I can get out if I wanted to, but I decided to serve my sentence.

I have to.

I wanna be done with Lupin once and for all.

And after, if you're down,

I really wanna be your father.

We could go to Senegal.

You've always wanted to see where you came from.

So why not?

I promise you.

I get out,

and we'll fly to your grandfather's homeland.

I know I've made a lot of promises I didn't keep,

but I'll keep this one, Raoul.

What do you say? We do this?

Listen to me, Assane.

I hope you had fun 'cause this is ten years minimum, you hear me?

Did you hear Diop's being transferred?

Did you hear?

Supermax. Maximum security unit. He's in for a rough time.

It's cold there in winter.

Summer too.

And I know what I'm talking about.

My wife is from there.

We go every year to see her mother.

It's freezing. You have no idea.

We go during the winter months because my wife skis.

I don't like skiing. I stay home with my mother-in-law.

You almost done over there?

I can't open it. Left my car keys inside, but it's stuck.

Let me do it.

You gotta really get in there.

I think Diop took your car keys.

For God's sake, I'm your father!

Calm down. Don't get yourself all worked up.

Everything I did, I did for this family.

For the Pellegrini line, I know.

I know we haven't always seen eye to eye about Diop, but please, call the lawyer.

-I just need 10,000 euros. -I'd like to but don't want to.

Juliette, please be reasonable!

You can't leave me like this.

-Juliette? -Assane?

Juliette!

Oh, it is you.

Juliette.

-Well? -Is that Assane?

-On the run again? -Let me talk to him.

-Nice disguise. -Where is he?

Where's who?

Your father.

Wherever you sent him.

Look around.

Okay. It's fine. You win. Your father too. Let's move on, okay?

Tell me what you both want in exchange for proof of my innocence.

So what is it? Should I find out myself?

What's the plan?

Prison has made you paranoid.

If I wanted to hurt you,

you'd have felt it, trust me.

Oh my.

Dad? Assane would like to say hello.

Assane. Assane. Tell Juliette to get me out of here.

Look, there's a lawyer here who can get me out.

He just needs money. Juliette refuses.

Come on. Please help me.

I swear, you'll never hear from me again.

Assane, I'm begging. Please help me. Help me!

So annoying.

I don't understand. Why not bring him back home?

My father is a scumbag.

He's perfectly fine where he is.

Sending him there was the best gift you've ever given me.

So thank you.

From what I've put together,

you didn't do the robberies, did you?

No.

You have more enemies than just my dad.

If you ever need anything,

just call me.

Who are you?

Now, if I were you, I wouldn't hang around here much longer.

The police are on their way.

We'll pick it back up after you've lost 'em.

All right, who are you?

Still just as impatient as always, I see.

What do you want?

I'd like to play a game with you.

I'm not your toy.

Who said you had a choice?

I might not know you, but what I do know is that you picked the wrong person.

Whoever you are, I'll find you.

With the mask off, there'll be nowhere left for you to hide.

Lupin against Lupin.

It would be my pleasure.

Oh, no. The pleasure will be mine.
