The Black Chateau
What Dimitri plans to do with the Clockwerk part is beyond me, but those plans end tonight.
― Sly Cooper, from the episode's introduction[src]
"The Black Chateau" is the first episode of Sly 2: Band of Thieves. It was set in Paris, France, and the main antagonist is Dimitri Lousteau.
Synopsis
The Setup
The Cooper Gang goes back home to Paris to track down Dimitri Lousteau, who is described by Sly as an underworld celebrity, equally at home in high-class art circles and shady back-alley crimes.
Dimitri was once a passionate, young art student, whose art techniques and visionary style were rejected by the art world. He then turned to a life of crime and began forging old masterpieces. He then becomes the owner of a nightclub on the west side of Paris, which will lure chic, young patrons from far and wide.
Somewhere in the nightclub are Clockwerk's first body part, his tail feathers. While the gang have no idea what Dimitri was planning, they vow tonight they will put an end to them.

Cinematics
Behind the scenes
Since this is an episode in Sly 2 where the main antagonist is defeated, if one hovers over the episode in the episode list, an INTERPOL symbol appears in the bottom left-hand corner. By pressing 
upon seeing the icon, the player can watch a bonus video of a cinematic heist pulled off by the Cooper Gang.
In the PAL version of the game, the gambling scene was removed from the getaway cutscene. As The Sly Collection was likely a port of the PAL version of the game (due to the tendency for these later released versions to have minor bug fixes and faster load times), it also is missing the gambling scene.
Notes
- ↑ This is the same combination for the vault in the "Duel by the Dragon" level from Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.
