Take care of this.

Yes.

Hey...

Here.

Let's go.

Will you hand over what we're looking for,

Professor Bresson?

I have nothing to give you.

You Nazi dogs!

Eh?

Hm?

This is bad...

Hey! Are you okay?

Decades later, in Paris

Bresson Retrospective Exhibition

Ladies and gentlemen,

today we present to you

Professor Bresson's greatest mystery

the Bresson Diary.

Please have a close look.

They say that whoever reads the diary

inside that box will get their hands on an enormous treasure.

It's all terribly fascinating.

It seems the Nazis were after it as well.

Terrible news!

We've just received a warning letter from Lupin the Third!

What did you say?!

I shall be visiting soon to steal the Bresson Diary.

Lupin the Third.

Put it in the safe for now.

Now, I shall...

Wait.

Eh?

That face...

Inspector Zenigata.

I've captured someone who appears to be Lupin.

Lupin!

You're under arrest!

You don't sweat much for someone who ran all this way.

My, aren't you sharp!

C'mere!

Eek!

Hold it right there!

You're not getting away, Lupin!

Open fire!

I'll be back. See ya!

After him! After him!

Goddamnit, Lupin!

Inspector, sir! I'll put this in the safe.

Please do!

You! Escort her!

Yes sir!

This way.

Uh...

Hm?

I'm sorry!

Y-You're...a thief...too?

I'm truly sorry!

Aah!

Caught it! Sorry, but I'm gonna be taking this.

Never took you for a rival thief, though...

Huh? Whoa, whoa!

Stop that, you idiot! Calm down!

Aah!

You don't even know what it's really worth, do you?

Far more than you do.

Hmm?

Whoa! Oop!

Thieving isn't something you do half-heartedly.

See ya.

Huh?

A-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!

Geronimo!

Perfect ten.

Please! Give it back!

Sorry, young lady. I'm a real thief, y'know.

That's why I'll be taking this.

Wha-?

Thanks, Lupin!

This saves me the hassle.

Fujiko, you...! Always getting...

Lupin!

Pops!

Stabbed in the back once again, eh?

Get 'im!

Whoa!

Stop resisting!

Idiots!

He's over there!

Alright, don't let that other thief get away either!

Hm?

Move!

Whew...

Eh?

I'm sorry, grandfather! I've failed.

This line of work really is impossible for me.

You're useless.

That's enough.

Our backup did the job.

It looks like our agreement is null and void.

What...?

Professor Lambert.

Yes.

Rejoice, everyone.

I have been informed that our dearest wish,

the Bresson Diary, is now ours.

However...

As you all know, the Bresson Diary

is protected by an impenetrable mechanism.

We must break through it by any means necessary!

She has arrived.

That woman's here.

Master Geralt.

Let's go.

Yes sir!

Here, the item I promised.

Finally...

At last. It took far too long.

I-I'm terribly sorry.

Hey, about your promise...

Take it.

This is the keyhole...

And this and this are connected.

Master Geralt, just like my research showed.

Hm?

Halt!

What were you trying to do?

Were you trying to beat us to the Bresson Diary's treasure?

Larcenous wench!

Oh my!

Hey pops...

This is a bit much, doncha think?

You're not getting away this time!

The one thing Arsène Lupin failed to steal,

the Bresson Diary...

Is it any wonder you, the grandson, would go after it?

Waaah... Is this it for me?

Feh! As if!

Here they come!

Stop that car!

Catch you later!

Stop! Stop right there, Lupin!

Whoa, whoa, what a pain... Whoa, what a pain...

Whoa, real pain in the ass... Jeez!

You're late, Jigen, Goemon.

You should be grateful we rescued you at all.

A fine mess we're in...

It's off!

Alrighty, time to regroup

and get the Bresson Diary back!
