(One with the Story)
Lupin and Fujiko were sitting in Venice's town square at a table. Fujiko was reading the newspaper and Lupin was, of course, trying to get her to the nearest bedroom with the usual results.
"This is so nice, I could sit here all day," Fujiko said with a sigh.
"You know what Italy is famous for," he asked her.
"Fancy music," Fujiko said.
"Casanova, the worlds most famous lover," he said.
"How will Lupin see the signal if he can't take his eyes off friggen Fujiko," Jigen said from the top of a church tower.
"He's was the Santa Clause of sex, known for his big bag of tricks," Lupin was saying.
"Someone get me a friggen house," Jigen muttered on the tower.
"Here he comes," Goemon said looking at a boat on the other side.
"I have a rather sizable bag of tricks my self, why don't you reach in and pull a trick out of my own bag, come on, grab something," he said leaning forward.
"That's the signal," Fujiko said getting up.
Lupin fell over from trying to lean in Fujiko's lap as soon as she stood up.
(Later On At Hotel in Venice Italy)
"The Trans-European Super Express shuttles between Paris and Venice. This is how Don Martino plans to get his stuff out of the country.Under the guise of transporting, St. Junior to France for the Arch De Trio Trophy, quite ingenious really," Lupin said.
"He's a sucker for jewels and fine art, especially other peoples jewels and fine art," Fujiko said. "If you catch my drift."
"You lost me there. I don't get why he's gotta ship it all the way to France in the first place," Jigen said confused.
"Quite simple really, Italian police may be many things but they are not morons. They know there's more to Martino than meets the eye. They're getting their ducks in a row," Lupin explained.
" Of course, so he's under pressure to hustle it all out of the country and convert anything questionable into cold hard untraceable cash before the police swoop down," Jigen said catching on.
"Simple and efficient," Lupin replied.
"It's a public conveyance and who knows what kind of shady characters will be on board," Fujiko said.
"Ooh baby, I love it when you talk like that," Lupin said for absolutely no reason.
"Hey Lupin, how's your half gainer these days," Goemon suddenly said.
Lupin ran to the window and looked out of it, a look of disbelief crossed his features.
"What! Zenigata? And somehow I take it he's not here on his honeymoon. By the way that blonde is looking at him I don't think they're married. Good work G-man and now that we've got our assignments, let's go!" Lupin told them all.
The gang gathered their things and jumped out the window onto the window sill and made their way to the car. About two minutes later Zenigata and Lorraine burst into the room. Zenigata ran to the table and looked at the map on it.
"Yes, finally found out where their going," Zenigata said.
"Where," Lorraine asked him.
"Ready to go for a train ride," he said with a smile. "Their getting on a train for France."
"I'm game if you are," Lorraine said walking out.
"Let's go," Zenigata said and they got back in the car for the train station.
(At The Train Station)
"Apparently having his own car makes him seem less vulnerable but it sure as hell doesn't make Fujiko less vulnerable," Goemon said.
"Not such a bad idea. Problem is he's not exactly dealing with amateurs. The thing about Lupin is that he can turn your biggest strength into your biggest stumbling block," Jigen said.
"I know, like with Fujiko," Goemon said.
"Goemon, just give up on her, she's with Lupin," Jigen said annoyed.
"I know and it's about time I give up on her," Goemon sighed.
"Okay the train is starting to pull away, let's get moving," Jigen announced and they walked towards a truck.
(Train)
"Like hey train dude, wait up," Lupin yelled wearing a hippie uniform.
Lupin walked into a compartment on the train and found Zenigata sitting there with Lorraine and her nose buried in a book. He ran to the next compartment and walked in on Fujiko who threw a shoe at him. Zenigata heard her scream and walked in to see what was wrong and got a shoe thrown at him also. Lorraine walked out to see him laying there with a high heel shaped red mark on his face and laughed.
(Truck)
"Jigen, can you see with your hat like that?" Goemon asked him.
"Guess we'll find out," Jigen said driving forward.
"Jigen, you must have left the map on the table, because pops and his partner is here and they have it," Lupin said.
"No way, I would never make a rookie mistake like that," Jigen said.
"There is a simple way to resolve this," Goemon told them.
"Yeah it's right...where the hell is it? Aww man!" Jigen said checking his pockets.
"Thankfully we're in disguise and Zenigata doesn't know a thing about Don Martino," Lupin said assuredly.
Meanwhile Zenigata stares at the map contemplating.
Lupin walked onto the dinning cart on the train to see Fujiko sitting at a table eating.
"That hurt earlier," Lupin said sitting down.
"That'll teach you that when I'm playing a role watch out," Fujiko told him.
"I guess I'll have to come up with some more stimulating roles for you then," Lupin told her with a grin.
"If my roles were any more stimulating you'd explode," Fujiko said.
They talked about Don Martino until Zenigata walked up. He talked to Fujiko until she accidentally kicked him in the shin aiming for Lupin. He walked her to her door and then walked into his.
"You okay, you're limping," Lorraine said.
"Yeah, I just got kicked in the shin," he told her.
"Oh, okay," she said brightly returning to her book. She didn't have to tell him she wasn't really worried, because they hated each others guts. She knew if he caught Lupin she could go home, and she was mad that he hadn't so far. And he didn't like her because Interpol wants her to take his job because he hasn't caught Lupin yet and he's been after him for five years.
Later Fujiko walked down the hall to Don Martino's car and knocked on the door.
"Hello," said a man at the door.
"I'm here to see Don Martino," she said and they let her in.
"So you say we met at the party in Rome," he asked her after a few minutes.
"Oh, you've already forgotten me? You must flirt with a lot of women. I'm very jealous," Fujiko said with a wink.
"Don't be that way, let's toast to new beginnings," Don Martino said.
"Sounds great, hey I heard you have St Jr on board, that horse has made me more money than my last divorce. I would love to meet him and thank him personally…," she said walking to the back door.
The man at the door tried to stop her but she wasn't listening and he hit her across the cheek. Fujiko fell to the floor and the man leans over her.
"You should have kept your mouth shut, Don Martino don't go to those parties anymore. Now Don Martino ain't going to be the only one who can't recognize your face," the man said.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Zenigata walks in.
"Sir, I am Inspector Zenigata from Interpol and we have news that there is thief on board and we were just checking all the rooms," he said.
"Surely you don't think any of us are the thieves," Don Martino said.
"No of course not, you okay ma'am," he said seeing Fujiko on the floor.
"Yeah, I was just checking out his carpet I just can't resist a good shag," she told him walking out with him.
"Are you really an inspector, because that's really exciting," she told him going down the hall.
"You think so," he said turning and pulling of a mask to reveal it was Lupin.
"Thank you, I'm sure if you hadn't shown up I was a goner," she told him.
"Guess I'm a hero now, so what'd you find out," he asked her.
"I'm sure they have everything in the back car with the horse," she told him.
"Good job, now you'd better lie low," he told her.
Zenigata walked up after that and chased Lupin into a corner with Lorraine behind him. When he thought he had Lupin cornered he ran forward, Lupin jumped to the side and Zenigata and Lorraine fall off the train into a field.
(Meanwhile)
"They should be entering the tunnel by now," Jigen said.
He pressed a button and the truck lost it's wheels and got the metal wheels a train has and drove it down the train track.
Lupin and Fujiko got on top of the train and disconnected it. Fujiko got off and got inside the truck with Jigen and Goemon.
Jigen and Goemon back up and connect to the train to pull it away while Lupin sneaks into the car St Junior, the white horse Don Martino had on the train, was in.
"I was always a sucker for the pitter patter of little feet," Lupin said as they ran around on the train.
Don Martino ruined their plans by pulling the break.
Goemon jumped out of the truck and disconnect the two rail cars so that way they only had to deal with the on Don Martino was in. While the train was burning they decide to meet Lupin at the bridge. They all thought it was crazy but Lupin insisted. When they got there they had to throw TNT at the train and didn't have time to let it burn. So Goemon threw the TNT in the air and Jigen shot it. They tried to help Don Martino but he insisted his jewels would protect him. Lupin took a few jewels and jumped to safety on St. Junior.
"I believe you have something for us Lupin," Fujiko said expectantly.
"Here you go," he told her handing her a bag.
"That's it," she asked him shocked.
"Don't worry, I know how to make it up to you," he told her.
"Fujiko," Goemon said suddenly.
"Yeah," she said looking at him.
"Where'd you get that bruise," he said looking at her cheek closely running his thumb across it.
"Don Martino's henchmen figured me out," she said shrugging and they all got into the truck; though Goemon was glaring the whole way angry about Fujiko getting hit.
Lupin tried to make up for the money by running in a race but Zenigata showed up and turned it into a steeple chase.
"Somebody shoot me," Fujiko said when he sped off with Zenigata following, ripping up her ticket.
"That can be arranged," Jigen told her.
"Cut it out you two, come on, we need to help Lupin," Goemon said walking off.
They all ran after Lupin and Zenigata.
