Meanwhile, Lupin has entered a gunfight with Martino and his goons. A stray bullet hits the control console, shorting it out and destroying the braking mechanism. Whatsmore, the carriage is headed out of control towards an oncoming freight train, just on the other side of a ravine. Lupin decides the best option is to blow up the bridge behind them. Meanwhile, Martino, seeing the impending disaster, snaps and clutches at his precious treasures, convinced they'll save him. His mooks, realizing he's lost it, abandon him and the train car, leaving only Lupin to watch the sad sight before him. The rest of the gang in the truck have just managed to pull ahead; Goemon hurls dynamite at the bridge, and Jigen fires, setting off the explosion and destroying it. The freight train stops just in time, but Martino's carriage goes over the edge. As the rest of the gang gasps in horror, Lupin suddenly emerges from the carriage at the last second, riding Saint Junior the racehorse. Martino and his treasures go down, vanishing into the river below.

Soon after, the train nears the Simplon Tunnel, the longest on the route. Jigen and Goemon are parked at the other end, awaiting Lupin and Fujiko to enact their plan. As soon as they enter the tunnel, the two climb on the roof of the train down to Martino's cars at the end, which they disconnect from the rest of the train. As the rest of the train leaves the tunnel, Jigen pulls the truck onto the tracks and activates a mechanism that lets it travel on the rails. He backs the truck down the tunnel and couples it to the front of Martino's private carriages. Martino and his mooks, however, are alerted to something wrong by the carriages slowing to a stop and the missing train. They attempt to shoot Lupin and Fujiko, but fail; Martino and the rest evacuate to the rearmost car of the set, the one with the horse and the treasures. They disconnect it from the front car, still being pulled by the truck, and activate a special mechanism that propels it down the rails by itself. Lupin manages to leap aboard the roof and enter the back car, but Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko (who managed to board the truck) are blocked by the now useless front car; Goemon slices it free and the truck is forced onto the road to follow Lupin and the escaping Martino.

On a beautiful day in Venice, Lupin and Fujiko sit in a plaza, Lupin trying a few...romantic pick-up lines on Fujiko. Meanwhile, Jigen and Goemon keep watch in a nearby tower, keeping an eye out for a certain yacht. When spotted, they signal their two compatriots in the plaza. Joining the gunman and samurai, Lupin and Fujiko explains the man on the boat is Don Martino, a rich horse breeder who is also a legend in Sicily for taking whatever he wants, particularly other people's art and jewels. Unfortunately, Lupin and his gang have made him their next target...
