The story of this episode was all over the place. That's not a bad thing, though, because I had no idea where this episode was going to go next. It seemed to be some Faust story, that turned into a prototype of 'The Wrong Trousers', that then turned into a prototype of the ending of 'Inglourious Basterds'.
The morality was unbelievable. Lupin felt sorry for the antagonist, but also evacuated a stadium full of ex-Gestapo officers. The antagonist was right; they were devils, even if they're all pathetic old men.
The episode started very strangely, but I enjoyed it. Especially the second half.
Lupin's characterisation is great. He has moments of being idiotic and irresponsible, and then becomes mature and thoughtful without missing a beat. The ending is full of quiet pathos. Lupin's reactions to the antagonist meeting his demise are fantastic.
Lupin doesn't get any material reward in the end, but he does get the satisfaction of doing the occasional good deed.
