What?

You get out in a week.

You can tell us now.

With Pellegrini, four years ago.

How many times do I have to tell you?

I didn't do anything.

4 YEARS EARLIER

Hurry up.

Come on, move it!

Move it!

Argentina. As planned.

Perfect.

No extradition treaty with France.

Arrival in 13 hours.

I'll miss you, my dear Assane.

Fucking hell. Long live freedom.

Okay, let's assume

I escaped with Pellegrini four years ago.

Why would I come back?

Some say you're plotting something.

You're staying out of trouble, acting good, but actually you have a plan.

You guys watch too many movies.

You good, buddy?

-Yeah, you? -Yeah.

What's new?

Listen, same old.

Without you, life's a breeze.

Don't worry. I'll be out soon.

-What do you mean? -Next Monday.

Sentence remission.

Exemplary conduct.

That's great.

-Why didn't you tell me? -I wanted to surprise you.

It's a nice surprise. I'm glad.

What you gonna do?

Take care of my son.

Reconnect.

And try to be a normal dad at last.

That's what's needed.

So you're serious? No more Lupin stuff?

Lupin is done.

Case closed.

-No! -Raoul?

No, Mom. I said no.

Mom, you can't do that.

-Don't come in if I say no. -What are you doing?

Aren't you at work?

No.

Why not?

I quit. I left.

-What happened? -My boss was busting my balls.

-I didn't like his tone. -Hey, I don't like yours either.

Sorry.

It's fine. Dad's out next week, and we're going to Dakar.

I'd have had to leave anyway.

We should organize a party for your dad.

To tell him the good news?

Well, we'll have to.

LOL.

Can I finish my workout, please? Thanks.

Any luck with the catalog?

Yeah. I'm nearly done.

I think he's jealous.

-He'll get used to it. Don't worry. -Yeah.

Sorry, excuse me.

Please… Sorry, excuse me.

-It's okay. It's delayed. -Really?

-Yeah. -This training's gonna be cool.

-I got sandwiches. -Thanks.

Your ticket.

What the hell?

Fuck. We've been hacked.

Hi, everyone. It's Lupin.

Did you miss me?

You haven't heard from me in four years.

Did you think I would give up?

Wrong.

I'm back with a nice surprise.

-Look. -I know you can't wait to find out.

Today,

I'm breaking out of prison to rob two museums

in two different cities.

You think it's impossible?

Nothing's impossible for Lupin.

Here's how it's gonna work.

At the Musée du Petit Palais in Avignon,

I'll steal The Furniture Repository Theft.

But at the same time, at the Paris Natural History Museum,

I'll steal Louis XIV's Grand Sapphire.

Audacity, flair, and ingenuity.

That's me, all right.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I'll carry out this impossible heist at 8 p.m. sharp.

In exactly 60 minutes.

-Okay, thank you. -Well?

It's not just here. Every phone in Paris and ÃŽle-de-France was hacked.

Fuck.

The gentleman burglar has struck hard

with the largest cyberattack France has ever seen.

The Minister of the Interior is launching a crisis unit,

calling the incident an unprecedented security breach.

Raoul! Are you there?

Let's go to Marie-Ange…

-You okay? -…our special correspondent on the scene.

You okay?

…situation is particularly tense.

Law enforcement will be evacuating the museum immediately

where the painting…

-Where are you going? -Did you know?

-Sorry? -Did you know he was planning all this?

Not at all. He's out in a few days. It doesn't make sense.

Raoul.

A real threat or simple PR stunt?

AVIGNON ON HIGH ALERT

The police are treating it seriously.

Teams have been deployed at both targeted sites.

I'll stay on the scene

and keep you updated on how the situation develops.

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

I need you to leave quietly.

-Hurry up. -Quick, ladies and gentlemen.

-Follow my colleague. -Come on.

The RIB is at the Natural History Museum.

How long do we have?

Forty-five minutes.

RIB COUNTERTERRORISM

-That way. -This way. Hurry up! Thank you.

LOUIS XIV's GRAND SAPPHIRE

We still don't have any information on the prison holding Assane Diop.

Given the circumstances, we imagine that measures have been taken

to prevent the famous gentleman burglar from escaping.

GO

Open the cell.

-Diop! -Guys.

-Hands behind your back. -Calm down. I had nothing to do with it.

Think about it. Why would I do that?

I'm getting out in four days.

So is this another one of your nasty tricks, Diop?

You want to make us look like idiots?

Not at all, the opposite.

I'm telling you. It wasn't me.

The person behind all this clearly wants to pin it on me.

Keep me locked in my cell and you'll see.

Don't worry, we have it covered.

Right. Get him ready for me.

PRISON ADMINISTRATION

Less than a week from his release

and after four years of exemplary behavior, the man known as…

This is totally insane.

Do you think it could be him?

No idea.

It's his style, but the method is…

It's new.

What is going on in Assane Diop's head?

Let's remind you of the targeted items. Louis XIV's Sapphire…

Assane has never chosen his targets at random.

The sapphire, the paintings…

All linked to the king of France. Does it ring a bell?

The Furniture Repository Theft.

September 1792.

The biggest heist in French history.

Legend has it that it was fake.

The noble families behind it secretly passed the treasure down.

Supposedly, the treasure still exists, but only a few gems were ever found.

No, but seriously, the treasure of all the kings of France. Imagine!

Ben, are you with me?

Ben! Hey, Ben! I'm talking to you.

Yes, sorry. What were you saying?

Has Assane mentioned that painting to you?

No, doesn't ring a bell.

I may have done this job for many years,

but I'll admit the psychological profile of criminals like you remains a mystery.

I know you don't believe me, but it wasn't me.

Do everything you can to stop me escaping. You'll see it wasn't me.

The straitjacket though…

Don't worry, Mr. Diop.

The administration just sent us a new security system

specially designed for inmates like you.

You won't be disappointed.

Oh right.

Tempered glass. Three centimeters.

High carbon steel six-point attachment system.

Tamper-proof lock.

Acoustic seal.

You'll be under the permanent surveillance of 80 inmates

and ten guards ready to intervene at any suspicious movement.

If you would be so kind.

Honestly, well done.

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

Good luck escaping.

In nine minutes.

LOUIS XIV'S GRAND SAPPHIRE

RIB COUNTERTERRORISM

7:59 P.M.

Fifteen seconds.

Ten.

Don't do this, Assane. Please.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

He's disappeared!

-Where's he gone? -He was here a second ago.

I don't believe it!

Where is he?

The painting's gone.

Go over there. Go on.

There!

-Find him! -Look for him!

He can't be far. Come on! He can't just disappear.

-Find him! -Look for him!

Find him!

-What now? -It's a mutiny!

Call for backup!

Mutiny! We need backup, fast.

Okay, copy. We're on our way.

Diop, stop or I'll shoot.

He's here.

Sofia, wait for us.

Sofia?

-Back in your cells! -No way.

-Fuck you, bastard! -Back to your cells!

Assane, stop or…

Sofia! No! Help!

Help!

No!

No!

Help!

Hey, Sofia. Sofia, can you hear me?

Sofia, answer me.

Get back.

Boss, look.

He's…

He wasn't there.

They can see me.

Lupin!

Lupin!

It wasn't me.

What have you done?

Why did you do that to Sofia?

It wasn't me.

Stop lying.

-We saw you at the museum. -I swear I didn't leave.

She's fighting for her life.

Lupin has always been a liar.

But never a murderer.

Exactly.

That's not Lupin.

So it's not me.

Will you let me explain?

I'm listening.

Transparent LED walls.

To make it look like I'd disappeared.

I don't believe it!

Once the wall is activated,

the inside of the cube can't be seen from the outside.

Where is he? Look for him!

A bit like a one-way mirror.

Perceptions are shattered.

Like in magic tricks.

Here's how it works.

The metal frame of the cage is fitted with mini projectors.

To take control of the system,

the person behind all this infiltrated the prison's IT and electrical network.

That's how he could control the video feed sent to the LED screens.

Once in control of the prison,

at 8 p.m. sharp, he cut the power for a few seconds.

Just enough to activate the screens

that were now showing images of the empty cube.

But listen.

The illusion only works if you don't open the cube.

Of course, he had it all planned.

To stop the guards from opening the cube…

he opened the cells.

Mutiny! We need backup, fast.

I untied myself to show them I was there.

Hey!

Guys, I'm here!

Since it's soundproof, I couldn't communicate with the outside.

I'm here! Hey!

I'm here!

His plan was perfect.

That's a load of nonsense.

I don't believe you.

I checked.

The administration didn't send us the cube.

The stamps are forged.

Okay, so the walls are LED. That doesn't mean it wasn't you.

-Go on. I'm listening. -Whoever did this is very good.

But not good enough to be in two places at once.

If I have it right, he was only seen at the museum in Paris.

The Avignon painting was stolen beforehand.

The only problem, Assane,

is that ten cops saw the painting there.

Were the fire alarms set off in Avignon?

Yes.

Then I know how he did it.

The painting in Avignon was fake.

Printed on hydrosoluble canvas.

Hydro what?

It dissolves on contact with water.

Analyze the museum's water drainage system.

You'll find residue.

They're my techniques, my signature.

We're dealing with a copycat, Guédira.

Someone is going to a lot of trouble

to pin this on me.

We'll check all that, then.

-Search the shelf please. -Here.

I think we found something.

What is that?

Why would I have hidden that here if it were me?

Who would be this mad at you?

Pellegrini.

He's the only one rich and crazy enough.

Hold up. I don't get it. Why Pellegrini?

So you did get him out four years ago?

Yeah.

May I know where you sent him?

Far.

Fucking hell. Long live freedom.

-All right? Are the goods inside? -Yeah, it's sorted.

You're very welcome.

Sitting comfortably, Hubert?

Remember when you magically got rid of the proof

linking you to the Kuala Lumpur attack?

It was a good move. They can't charge you in France.

But they can in Malaysia.

-What do you want, Diop? -To keep my family safe. Far from you.

So I can serve my sentence in peace.

You'll be fine there, Hubert.

No extradition treaty with France either.

Enjoy your retirement.

This isn't over.

I swear this isn't over.

Yeah, I'll miss you too.

Clearly not far enough.

You were this close.

This close to fooling me.

What's this?

Is that you?

Listen, Assane.

I hope you had fun 'cause you'll get at least ten years.

New information has come to light in the Lupin case.

There is no longer any doubt that it was indeed Assane Diop

who carried out this masterful heist.

Evidence suggests that Diop is also responsible

for the police officer's fall this evening.

The spectacular hacking of the public warning system

has concerned experts in the cybercrime unit.

It has also revived the debate

on the control of inmates in French prisons.

The fact remains that less than a week from his release from prison,

after four years of model behavior,

the gentleman burglar is turning the tables

and undoing all his efforts to return to normal life.

One question is on everyone's lips.

What was going through Assane Diop's mind?

I'm sorry.

Assane would never do this.

Thanks for coming, son.

I came because I don't get it, Dad.

-Don't get what? -I don't know. You…

You said you had to go to prison, so…

so we would be safe.

But now you're here.

So I don't know.

Did you change your mind again?

I chose to go to prison.

I can get out and back in when I like.

But I've decided to serve my sentence.

To put an end to Lupin once and for all.

And after, if you want,

I'll try to be your dad again.

We could go to Senegal.

You've always wanted to get to know your roots.

That's my offer.

I'll get out

and take you to your grandfather's land.

I know I've made a lot of promises that I haven't kept.

But I'm promising you this, Raoul.

What do you say? Shall we do that?

Listen, Assane.

I hope you had fun 'cause you'll get at least ten years.

You know they're gonna send him to Vosges?

HSU.

High-security unit.

He's gonna suffer.

It's cold there.

Even in summer.

I know what I'm talking about because my wife's from there, so…

We go there every year to see her mom.

It's freezing. You have no idea.

We still go in winter because, well, we go skiing.

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

Would you get a move on?

No, it won't open.

I left my car keys inside.

Let me do it.

Hold on. I'll put some muscle into it. Fuck!

I think Diop escaped again.

-Come on. I'm your dad! -Oh, Dad. Don't get worked up.

Everything I have done has been for the sake of this family.

The Pellegrini lineage, I know.

We haven't always agreed on Diop, but please call the lawyer.

A call and €10,000 is all it takes.

-I'd like to, but I don't feel like it. -For God's sake, be reasonable.

You can't leave me like this.

-Juliette? -Assane?

Juliette.

Is it really you?

-Well, then? -Is that Assane?

-On the run again? -Put him on!

Nice disguise.

Where is he?

Who?

Your dad.

Where you sent him.

-Look around. -Okay.

Fine.

You won. You both won. Can we skip to the next part?

Where you tell me what you want for the proof I'm innocent.

So, what is it?

Want me to do this alone? What's the plan?

Has prison made you kind of paranoid?

If I had wanted to hurt you,

believe me, you would have felt it.

Well…

-Dad, Assane wants to say hello. -Assane?

Assane, tell Juliette to repatriate me.

Listen, a lawyer here could get me out of this country.

We just have to pay. Juliette won't.

Come on. Help me!

And… I promise you'll never hear from me again.

Assane, please, help me.

Help me, Assa--

How tiring.

I don't get it.

Why won't you get your dad out?

My dad is a piece of trash.

He's fine where he is.

You gave me the greatest gift when you sent him there.

Thank you.

If I understand correctly,

the heists weren't you, then?

No.

My father's not your only enemy?

If you need anything,

just ask.

Who are you?

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

The police are on their way.

Right, we'll pick this up a little later.

I see you're still just as impatient.

What do you want?

I just want to play with you.

I don't feel like playing.

Who said you had a choice?

I don't know what you want.

What I do know is you picked on the wrong person.

Whoever you are, I'll find you.

I'll put you in the spotlight. You won't have anywhere to hide.

Lupin versus Lupin.

Now, that's a game I like.

No. Believe me, you won't like it.
