When Kid is unable to make a move with his hand glider due to a rainstorm, and international thief known as Nightmare appears on the scene and helps him escape. The cost of using Nightmare though has a history. Nightmare's partners typically end up dead or captured by police the next day with their half of the loot found on them. A week passes after Nightmare helps Kid escape and Inspector Nakamori calls Kaito in to inspect the tricks he has to trap Kid as he attempts to steal the rare black opal jewels. Kaito finds no flaws in the plan. During the process he meets Interpol agent Chuck Connery and his son Kenta Connery. Kenta suffers from a rare brain disease that could lead to his death if it isn't treated. Chuck has promised Kenta that if Nightmare is stopped they will be able to treat the disease, but until then he must travel the world looking for a way to stop him. Kenta is being taken care of by a Japanese orphanage and has snuck out to tell his father the orphanage has found someone to take care of the disease. Before he can do so though his father sends him out with Aoko. While leaving with Aoko, Kaito receives word that Saguru Hakuba has returned to Japan and is making his way to the scene. Kaito calls the driver and pretends to be Inspector Nakamori, insuring that Hakuba won't be present when his magic show begins. That night Kaito transforms into Kid and takes out the museum's head of security. He does one final check of the case as the head of security before placing the jewels in the case. The lights go out, and when the emergency lights are turned on the jewels appear to be floating in the water. Kid, as the head of security, inspects the jewels and reveals they are fakes. He takes them to dispose of them just before Harukba arrives. Harukba inspects the case and finds a see through glass has been placed inside the case, which caused the appearance of the jewels to be floating. Inspector Nakamori then gets word the head of security has been found knocked out. He tells his officers to look for the imposter, but Harukuba tells him to change his plan and head toward where Chuck Connery said to meet him at because Kid will have escaped on his hang glider. Kid arrives at the rendezvous point and reveals that Nightmare is Chuck Connery. He gives Chuck both of the opals and Chuck threatens to shoot him, because his identity has been discovered. However Kenta had seen his father driving away from the scene and had him followed. His father hears his voice calling out for him and loses his balance at the edge of the cliff. Kid tries to save him, but Chuck refuses to give up the opals and falls to his death. The police arrive and praise Chuck as a hero while his son mourns after seeing his father has died. Before his son sees him, Kid uses his card gun to shoot away the Nightmare mask so his son doesn't know his father was Nightmare. Kid and Harukuba walk away from the scene knowing the truth. Chuck was Nightmare trying to save his sons life. (Source: Wikipedia)
