Disguised as well-dressed hitmen, Lupin and Jigen enter a bar where eight other assassins are there waiting. After spending time chatting with the freckle-faced waitress and eating dinner, which mostly contains pork, they reveal that they are there to kill a regular patron named Andre Anderson and recover a treasure he has stolen.

In the Shigetomi department store circa 1930, Goemon slashes wildly at Lupin who manages to escape while remarking that his sword is not Zantetsuken. Colonel Daidoji and Major Hongo arrive and snatch the key to the automaton clock from Sarantuya, who is also later revealed to be the heir to the Altan Khoto Kingdom. Daidoji's plan is for the Imperial Japanese Army to instill a puppet government in Inner Mongolia. Following a series of intersecting events, the key players in the drama, Ruriko, Sarantuya, Akechi, Black Lizard, and Lupin, find themselves surrounded by high mirror-like panels with a type of control panel in the center. Lupin enters a code and the group suddenly end up back in the automaton clock room, where he reunites with Goemon. Lupin finally remembers the truth: he and Goemon had infiltrated a modern research facility, but became trapped inside a virtual machine designed to extract the password to Lupin's hideout. He also reveals the code he entered enabled a self-destruction for the facility, forcing the researchers to free them and let them escape, as the rest of the virtual world disintegrates. As Lupin and Goemon escape, it is revealed that the facility was funded by Ruriko Shigetomi and the Showa era events were based on her memories. Later, during an excavation, a stone is uncovered showing engraved words that master thief Arséne Lupin, AKA the Golden Mask, was there in the 1930s. (Source: Wikipedia)

While Albert d'Andrésy is questioning an informant about an assassin targeting Holmes, the informant is shot dead by the sniper. Zenigata meets up with Lestrade, where they drink the night away complaining about Holmes pursuing his own crime-busting agenda. While observing Holmes' house, Lupin is found by Zenigata, but they spot a sniper nearby and give chase. Lupin deduces the sniper is the mercenary Colonel Sebastian Moran who uses a high-powered air rifle. He then receives a phone call from Jigen who says that Moran was hired by a new power group led by "The Professor". While pinned down by Moran's gunfire, Lupin tells Zenigata about John Watson's death ten years earlier. Holmes was investigating the Ravens, and a former member named Horatio Clover offered information to Scotland Yard. However, he was gunned down by a Raven executioner which was witnessed by Watson and Lupin. During a struggle with the assassin, Watson was shot dead just before Lily Watson arrived to see Lupin standing over her father's body. Holmes soon arrived but he deduced that Lupin was not the killer. He then took Lily into his care but warned Lupin to stay away from her. As dawn breaks, Lupin and Zenigata corner Moran, who disparages the Ravens as a spent force and escapes. Zenigata is then revealed to be Holmes in disguise, while the real Zenigata has been with Lestrade the whole night. Holmes decides to take Lupin's advice and finally tell Lily the truth about her father's death. Later, Jigen lets slip to Lupin that he encountered Lily three years earlier. (Source: Wikipedia)

Lily is once again abducted by kidnappers but Roark intervenes under a nameless client's orders to capture or kill her. However, Jigen shoots the kidnappers from a distance and forces Roark to take cover. He then drives Lily himself, but when Roark eventually confronts them again, it is revealed that Lily is actually Kenny in disguise, acting as a decoy. A shootout commences between Jigen and Roark, where Jigen decides to risk everything on one magnum bullet, which successfully kills Roark, but also destroys his revolver and injures his hand in the process.

The specialist treasure hunter calling herself Cherry lures Lupin to an "underground" auction of some treasure of the great pirate Zeke Barbatos who was active in Brazil 75 years ago. The treasure reportedly included the Jet-Black Diamond and Venus Ruby. At the auction, Lupin encounters an elderly woman who buys a kokeshi doll similar to his own which is part of the treasure. Lupin steals it and then returns it to the woman after extracting her scrap of Zeke's treasure map, but Fujiko swipes the pieces to track down the Jet-Black Diamond herself. The woman, her granddaughter, and Fujiko converge on the location of the treasure in Brazil, with Jigen and Goemon following suit while Lupin stays behind in London. A drone he pilots meets up with the women, as they learn the woman is actually Cherry, as well as the sister of Sakura, Zeke's lover, who committed suicide shortly after Zeke's execution. They meet at the foot of a tree where the flowers bloom every 75 years in the full moon, with Cherry leaving the two dolls at the base of the tree as a memorial to the two lovers, not interested in any treasure. Fujiko digs to find the diamond, but a scuffle with Zenigata reveals the box only contains pepper, as it was a valuable commodity 75 years ago and was referred to as the "Jet-Black Diamond".

Fujiko checks out the fossil of an archaeopteryx on display in the British Natural History Museum for a man who calls himself Mihail, Michael, or Miguel, on behalf of his lord who wants her to steal it. The specimen was uncovered in a quarry in Solnhofen, Germany in 1861, 2 years after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species. Mihail's employer believes that the three discovered fossils of archaeopteryx are the work of forger Karl Häberlein. Mihail is unconcerned whether the fossil is real or a fake, but wants her to steal the original which is sealed in a vault within the museum. Fujiko breaks into the museum's vault and Lupin follows her. They find what appears to be the original fossil, but Lupin opens a door into another chamber where a huge version of the fossil is attached to the wall.

Around midnight while walking home from a pub, Alex Jenkinson, a landshark who used aggressive tactics to acquire local property, is shot dead by someone he suspects is a Raven assassin. The next morning, local "Baker Street Irregulars" arrive and pub owner Derrick Barnes confirms Jenkinson's movements. Lupin's gang suspect the assassin also killed Lord Falkner, who was buying up local land. Holmes tells Lestrade and Zenigata that anyone interested in that land has died, and he offers a million pounds reward for the half of Falkner's poster held by Lupin. This prompts numerous bounty hunters to pursue Lupin, including Zenigata, and Lupin lets his half of the poster fall into his hands. Meanwhile, Holmes suspects the assassin also killed Watson and Faulkner, so takes Lily to the location of Watson's murder, hoping to jog her memory, but without success. He returns to investigate Faulkner's Black Drawing Room with Zenigata and is followed by Lily. Holmes encounters Lupin and they both deduce that the poster was a distraction and the real clue lays somewhere in the room. Because Faulkner spent all daylight hours working in the darkened room, they surmise that he was protecting something from the light. Lupin rips down the curtains, and as sunlight fills the room, it hits the spot where the poster was, revealing a Raven symbol before triggering a massive explosion. (Source: Wikipedia)

Lupin, Holmes, Lily, and Zenigata survive the explosion, realizing the Black Drawing Room was a booby trap. Holmes deduces that the cheap ring Faulkner always wore is the key to uncovering the treasure. That night a man steals the ring and uses it to unlock a gravestone leading to a secret passageway containing the Raven's treasure. He is cornered by Holmes, accompanied by Lily and Lestrade, and Holmes recognizes him as Eliot. A gunfight ensues and Eliot is shot by Lupin, who had followed them, telling Lily that Eliot killed her father. Holmes and Lupin surprisingly shoot at each other, and in the commotion, Lily recalls that she saw Lestrade just before her father was murdered. Holmes had actually deduced this earlier and set the trap with Lupin to expose Lestrade as the treasure hunter. Lestrade then threatens to kill everyone with two hand bombs, however Lupin reveals the Raven's treasure is merely a collection of useless WWII bombs. The frustrated Lestrade escapes and jumps into the Thames River, detonating the bombs. Afterwards, Lupin reveals Watson's final request was for Holmes to watch over Lily, and sometime later, Holmes returns to taking on more high profile cases with Lily as his partner.

He figures out the box, rather than containing proof of Tomoe's parentage, contains information regarding his true roots. Tomoe laughs manically, stating that she will continue to use more women and methods to get Lupin to become hers, causing Mattea to snap and try to kill her, only for Lupin to shoot her first. As Tomoe lays dying, Mattea becomes further enraged due to Tomoe taking her life from her, and still intending to fight Lupin, which he agrees to.
