CHRISTOPHE:
They're there.

TOMMY:

I got you.

Thank you.

DARIA:

Angie Rawlins.

[GROANS]

You can go on up.

Front elevator to the mezzanine.

Thanks.

Where are the stones?

Who the f*** are you?

[GROANS]

Who's getting them for you?

F*** off!

SU:

I want a name and a number.

Okay.

- Okay, I'll tell you.

- I know.

I hate these things.

Don't you hate these things?

- Just doing my job.

- Oh.

Then again, you never know

who you're gonna meet, right?

I bet you're a lot more fun

than any of those boring people upstairs.

Really, ma'am, l have a job to do.

Right, well, l suppose l should

go see what they're selling.

Tommy.

Change of plans, he's gay. You're up.

- No way.

- Yes, way.

TOMMY:

Come on, man!

- All right, Tommy, your turn.

- Hell, no!

This is not a conversation.

Do it! And make it good.

Sh*t.

Keycard.

So why don't you hold onto my purse.

I shouldn't be too long.

Aloha.

Hi.

I hope you don't take

offense to this...

...but l have such a weakness

for a man in uniform.

GUARD:
If that's your thing.

TOMMY:
Uniforms are my thing.

I mean, every time l see a sailor,

all l can think about is seafood.

I'm actually not supposed to

be talking on duty.

Who's talking?

Baby, this is flirting.

Unless you're one of those big handsome

men letting it go to waste on a woman.

The world is full of fools.

Yahtzee!

MILES:
What's it looking like?

- About a six-second rotation.

Tommy.

But you can call me Rachel.

- Douglas.

- Oh.

I just hope l'm not too...

...pretty for you.

- I'm hooked up.

- That b*tch.

I like sunsets, puppy dogs...

I'm big in the pants.

I can almost tie it in a knot.

FAIT:

Let's get the table.

One day l'll have to come and do

a little shoplifting and let you catch me.

Resist arrest just so you can

wrestle me down...

...and cuff me.

I can be pretty rough.

Don't get me excited now.

Faith.

Holy sh*t!

Earthquake.

But l bet you can hit a 10

on the Richter scale anytime, Douglas.

Let's do it.

All right. Y'all know what to do.

Let's get it on.

-911, what's your emergency?

SU:
Reporting a robbery in progress.

Robbery in progress.

What's the location?

Man, l love colored stones.

This one blue diamond

is at least $2.5 million.

Oh, yeah? So whose stuff we stealing?

- Drug dealers, money launderers...

- Works for me.

This...

This I can use.

DARIA:

T.

Check this out.

FAIT:
This is what we came for.

- Oh.

FAIT:

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Jackpot. The rest is ours.

[PHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

Your employer betrayed you.

The police are on the way.

- Leave the stones.

- Who is this?

You know the ones l mean.

I'm not gonna be able to do that.

Wrap them up.

[SIRENS WAILlNG]

LEADER:

Let's go, boys.

Better go move my car.

Five-O at the door, gotta go.

- Move now!

- Time to bounce. Leave this sh*t.

- ls this your car?

- Yeah, it's my car!

- Get it out of here!

- Move your sh*t...

- I'll move that, you move this.

- All right.

LEADER:

Let's go. Out of here, right now.

They stopped the trains.

We don't have a lot of time.

Daria comes with me.

I can't tell you how to get there,

but you know where to be.

- Faith.

- Faith.

[MUMBLING]

COP:

It's clear.

Hold it.

All clear.

Okay.

Nice.

MAN:
Train is secure.

- Get this train out of here.

You got it.

The stones?

Watch out!

The bag!

[SIREN WAILS]

F***.

LING:

Enjoying California?

Hope we're not here long.

I hate sunshine.

We may have a problem.

The stones?

The Exchange was just robbed.

Let's hope that was part of the plan.

Who's in charge?

Who wants to know?

Follow me.

FAIT:

Vanessa. What are you still doing up?

VANESSA:
Just a little longer?

- Just a little longer?

Sweetheart, you have school tomorrow.

Come on. Time for bed.

- Getting heavy!

- No, I'm not.

Wait a minute.

There's something behind your ear.

Please. That is so lame.

- What you mean?

- lt's in your hand.

This hand? Or this hand?

Watch.

- How'd you do that?

- Magic.

- ls it for me?

- Of course it's for you.

A diamond for my princess.

It's beautiful.

- So are you.

- I love you, Daddy.

I love you too.

Let's say our prayers.

Angels east, angels west,

north and south, just do your best...

...to guard her and watch her

while she rests.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- Give me some love.

- Okay.

[MOANS]

Can l have another one?

Yeah, you can have another one.

Vanessa's in the bed now.

- She's asleep for the rest of the night.

- She won't listen to me.

I'll talk to her. Go to sleep anytime.

- I'm watching TV if you need me.

- All right. Thank you.

Player, what the hell happened?

Should we be considering

a long vacation...

...in a warm foreign climate

with no extradition?

The cat that called was only interested

in the black stones.

- Christophe sold us out.

- Or something.

- Oh, God, you made it.

- By the skin of my black ass.

Man, some Chinese dude kicked my ass

all around that goddamn train track.

A**hole busted my earpiece too.

- The worst part, he snagged the loot.

TOMMY:
Sh*t!

Maybe it's time to rethink

this no-gun policy sh*t.

TOMMY:

A little ass-whupping ain't sh*t.

At least you didn't have to play

all foxy with the rent-a-cop!

- This all we got.

- So, what do we do now?

- Wait to hear from me.

- So where are you going?

I'm gonna get some answers.

- Hold up, dog. I got your back.

- I got this one.

But if I need you, l'll call you.

- All right.

- All right?

Be careful.

LING:

So this is Mr. Christophe.

Apparently we're not

his first visitors today.

CHRISTOPHE:

Please, Seor Ling, have mercy.

Whatever you're going to say,

make it the truth.

You may not have another opportunity.

CHRISTOPHE:

I'll tell you what you wanna know.

Bang!

You like it?

- lt's all right.

- Oh. Think about it.

You want it? 'll make you

a deal on it, ammo included.

It's got reactive armor, Browning

.50-caliber, 7.62 M-60 machine gun.

And that cannon there, that's 90 mm.

Good around the bad areas of town.

Keeps neighborhood kids in line.

- I'll pass.

- How about this?

- A Marine Corps Assault Hovercraft?

- I'm here on other business.

Hey, Arch! We're out of room

in the storage.

All right, put them in my office

and be careful, they're expensive.

Well, not expensive to me.

Hey, listen, you weren't by any chance

downtown today, were you, Tony?

Not at all.

I didn't think so.

- Ever see a black diamond?

- I've seen a white diamond, pink...

...yellow, blue ones. I've seen Neil

Diamond. Awesome in concert.

He's in town in two weeks...

Never seen a black diamond.

Not like this.

- Wow. You got me.

- Find out what they're worth.
