Inside Rebecca's mind, Lupin manages to defeat Leonardo, allowing Rebecca to maintain her original personality. However, Leonardo believes to have won nonetheless, since all the Italians should be again under his influence, but he soon finds out that Lupin has copied his consciousness not only in Rebecca's mind, but also in all the Italians' minds, and so he managed to defeat Leonardo concretely. Then, Leonardo starts to feel sick, since his artificial body is now close to death. Before his demise, Lupin comforts him, telling him that his mind will live forever in all the Italians, and in his mind as well, thanks to the Sogno Italiano, while his unprecedented contribution to all of mankind will be remembered forever. Some time later, with all the world accusing him for what happened in Italy, Lupin is forced to leave the country, but before taking off he has a final meeting with Rebecca. Rebecca promises to wait for him until he returns, and he allows her to keep the "Lupin" surname. The last image shows Lupin and his gang escaping from Zenigata, disappearing among the crowd in the Stazione Centrale in Milan.
