Bitcoin Heist Page #7

---

Can you pick me up?

Everything happened as you said it would.

Good. Transfer me the bitcoins,

and you'll never see Linh and me again.

Not yet. I still need you to do one last thing

before Linh gets her tuition money.

Sorry, gorgeous. You've got the wrong car.

I'm waiting for my friend, Vi.

Sweetie, I can be anyone you want.

There's Dada.

Can we go faster?

Yes, sir.

You can slow down a little.

This isnt the Breeze Lounge.

This place is more private and romantic.

But mobile phones aren't allowed.

Have you ever started something...

that you didn't know how to finish?

I didn't know how to stop being the Ghost.

After I met you,

I knew the Ghost had to end.

But the only way out...

was to see the plan through.

In order for the Ghost to disappear,

Phuc had to die.

I'm sorry that I had to use you.

I hope you understand now

why I had to do what I had to do...

I understand.

But don't think I'll forgive you.

You won't shoot me.

Vi.

Run away with me.

I've prepared enough gasoline

for us to go to Fuzhou.

From there, we can go anywhere

in the world you choose.

I have lots of bitcoins.

We can live well our whole lives.

Can you hear yourself?

You're crazy if you think I'd go anywhere

with you after everything you've done!

And what is that?

That I tried to hack into Khimera?

Or tried to raise the price of bitcoins?

The only reason why I didn't succeed

is because of you.

Because you understand me.

It's why you were able to stop me.

People like you and me are not

meant for this world of rules and laws.

I knew this when I first met you.

You knew it too when you kissed me.

We were meant for each other.

Shut up!

Because of you, Bi is in the hospital!

If you want someone to blame

for Bi's injury, then go ahead and shoot.

After that, shoot yourself.

Because you were the one

that pulled the trigger.

Bi's accident happened

so that we could meet.

In our world,

systems crash so that another

generation can rise and be stronger.

I promise you.

After we escape,

I will come back for Bi.

After that, we will nurse Bi together,

until the day he wakes up.

Don't do it, Vi!

Your job is done!

Let the police take it from here!

We will make him pay

for all that he has done!

Phuc!

There's no use running, Phuc!

You're surrounded!

Careful! Target approaching!

Stop! Or we will continue to fire!

Last chance, Phuc!

Do you trust me?

Vi!

Vi...

Vi!

To the hospital, sir?

I have a safe house

that Dada doesn't know about.

I can take care of your wound there.

Does this mean that you've forgiven me?

Electricity is tapped from the neighbors.

No hard phone line.

No cell signal.

No Wi-Fi.

If you get hungry...

Eat.

Drink.

Fun.

Welcome to life off the grid.

Since you brought it up.

How did Dada track us out to sea?

The falling debris...

Probably broke the tracker.

If not...

Dada and the local police would've

broken down that door by now.

What now?

We stay here. Eat noodles.

Drink energy drinks...

And get wasted?

First...

we keep you from dying.

Are you ready?

One...

Promise me...

If anything should happen,

you have to go get Bi.

I promise.

ls that all?

No.

If you really want to get away from all this,

then you have to give up everything.

No more bitcoins.

No Crypt.

No hacking.

Can I at least jailbreak a phone?

Only on new models.

Before I pass out...

let me see your phone.

Here's 3,000 bitcoins.

I don't want your money.

I believe you.

But because your face is not on newspapers,

tomorrow, I want you to go exchange

enough bitcoins for us to start over.

My driver, Willy, can drop us off at the dock.

We can go to Fuzhou.

Your fever is burning.

Here...

Two pills.

One antibiotic.

And one anesthetic.

Vi!

Welcome home!

Hello Phuc!

Try not to fall.

Don't worry Linh.

He is the Ghost. He can just fly.

I think Linh is still angry at you.

She might not let you down.

Let me ask you for the last time.

Give me another chance?

If the answer is "Yes,"

then press the green button.

Let's call it even.

Let's see if I've got everything straight.

Hoping to get out from under

the mafia's debt,

Thomas hired you to help him

create the Crypt.

But then you got greedy

and wanted control of Khimera.

You planted a program to hack Khimera

inside the bitcoin exchange in the hotel.

You didn't expect us to come crashing in.

But the real trouble started...

when Bi hacked your damaged wallet

and stole 30,000 bitcoins.

And you got yourself arrested

and fingerprinted,

which would have

made you a registered criminal.

When you realized that

we didn't know your true identity,

you came up

with a new plan to get everything.

Your 30,000 bitcoins,

Thomas's 40,000 bitcoins,

and control of Khimera.

You purposefully left Vi's box

in the room as a decoy,

and wiped off your fingerprints.

So that when Thomas discovered the box,

he would arrest Vi and me

and restore the server from a backup,

thereby installing the rootkit that allowed you

to control the Khimera server remotely.

Well done, Chief.

You really had me believing that Interpol

had tracked me to Taipei.

Just a matter of proper motivation,

perfect timing,

and pretty distractions.

Vi followed your trail on League of Legends

once we learned of your IP address.

Thomas was the one

who gave it to you, right?

Thomas made us a deal.

If we could capture you with it, then he would

drop the espionage charges against us.

You've caught me already.

Why do you still look...

upset?

You also wiped your phone clean of

any proof that you are the Ghost.

How did you manage

to get the sentence reduced

from life in prison to 8 months?

When you left me hanging up there,

I had enough time to do one quick thing.

It has always been about

the same thing, Agent.

Evidence.

You wiped out your servers

to erase all trace of the Crypt.

You got everything you wanted.

So why are you so sad?

Did you miss your friends?

Jack opened the Magique Academy

for young orphans like himself.

He teaches them magic instead of stealing.

All of his students share his stage name...

Magique.

Here is a postcard from Luhan.

Saint Nicholas...

The patron saint of repentant thieves.

Luhan gave up stealing

to be a better example for Linh.

He got a new job in England

and enrolled Linh in a proper school.

Vi is the only one I haven't heard from.

In the end, I have to thank her,

for helping me catch you.

I also promise you

that after I get out of here,

I will also disappear.

You will never get out of here.

I swear it.

Hey, Chief!

Don't forget this.

JACK:
Welcome back, Bi! Linh: Come visit us!

DADA:
When will you come to Vietnam?
