MOVIE: Lupin Season 3 Episode 1

Chapter 1

Episod 1 of Lupin season 3 begins with a group of serious looking men standing next to a big wooden crate. Inside happens to be a small box, which contains a shiny pearl named Arii Poerava aka the Black Pearl. He goes on to give a history of the pearl and informs about security protocol to the person taking possession of it.

The timestamp on the screen shows 2017. Michael (the one who took the pearl) gets a phone call asking him to say a keyword. When he does, the person on the phone informs Michael that the driver of the car might be from the criminal organisation.

The person on the phone gives Michael the instructions to exit, following the security protocol. He does just that and waits on the metro line for the agents to arrive. Lupin arrives, too. Both Michael and Lupin get on the train, where Michael eyes him suspiciously.

After Michael is seated, Lupin deftly retrieves the pearl from the suitcase. Michael takes a minute to register but Lupin has left and the train moves ahead.

Now, it is 2021 and we’re in Marseille. Lupin is living a secluded life and a year has passed since the Pelligrini incident. Assane Diop aka Lupin’s wife is questioned about his whereabouts.

Claire receives a text to follow a mysterious man with an orange umbrella. The person is Assane. Claire and Assane have a tiff, and she mentions that Raoul wakes screaming in his sleep.

Claire asks Assane to turn himself in and calls him a coward. Assane talks to his best friend Ben about a heist to steal the Black Pearl. The scene cuts to 2017 when Assane got arrested after stealing said Black Pearl.

The news is still rife with Assane Diop and his actions. Two journalists are fighting whether Assane Diop’s story is still worth running on the front page. Just as they do, a man dressed in black enters the establishment to make a delivery.
