That's a negative

on Victor wong,

but we got

handsome Willie.

Esmond, do you have

eyes on the house?

One lookout.

Down there on the deck.

One more on the second floor

by the windows.

Handsome Willie and company

entering the house now.

We capture Victor wong's man

in that house

with the matador's

product,

we prove Victor wong

is the matador.

Bennie, we'll get him

this time.

We are not clear yet.

Stay back.

If this goes wrong,

I'm not dragging you

down with me.

Stay put and cover me.

Okay, I'm going in.

How are we doing

on the orders?

Almost filled.

Still some waiting

on the next shipment.

- - He's almost here.

Keep packing.

Be sure everything

goes to plan.

- Hey.

Be gentle.

Mind the packing.

Go take a look.

See what's going on.

Who are you?

Take that!

We gotta go.

Esmond, get Leslie!

I'm on it.

- Stop them!

- Go, go, go!

Hong Kong reporter

is live on the scene.

Details are scarce

at the moment,

but it's believed a police

drug raid gone wrong

is responsible for the collapse

of nearly a dozen homes.

Captain tang,

i did it on my own.

Victor wong

is a respectable

businessman.

In nine years,

have you found

a shred of hard evidence

that Victor wong

is the matador?

There is no matador.

One man does not run

the Hong Kong underworld,

and even if he did,

that man is not Victor wong.

You want justice

for your partner.

I understand that.

But your obsession

with this case

has taken a toll

on you personally.

Take a month off.

You should start thinking

about retirement, bennie.

Sir.

The vory code

in Russia says,

"you mess with

someone's family,

there are grave

consequences."

Jesus Christ, dima,

you got the wrong guy.

No!

Well, I guess you're wondering

how I got here, right?

Allow me to explain.

Whoa!

He was just

a local boy

from the wrong side

of the tracks,

and she was engaged

to a war hero.

But love won out.

Even after

she got sick,

they never

regretted a thing.

Would you shut up

with that thing?

A boy shouldn't

be playing with dolls.

Yes, dad.

Anyway, my dad would go

to the hospital

and read to my mom

from her own journal

and she would remember

little moments

of their life.

They died in

each others arms.

Are you serious?

He's literally reciting

the plot to "the notebook."

- Shhh.

- Shut up.

I know it's corny.

I just always believed

in the power of love

a little more than

the regular guy.

Jeez.

Even now with the houses,

and the Porsche,

and the...

Other Porsche,

I was just always

holding out

for a true love

like that.

I'm sorry.

To answer your

first question

I'll have the chicken.

Thanks.

Oh. Sorry.

Watch where

you're going, a**hole.

I'm sorry.

Purpose of your visit.

Here to see the sites,

but then again,

what's there to see

when the loveliest sight

is right here?

Welcome to Macau,

Mr. Cunningham.

Excuse me, I thought

you were supposed to have

a car here for me, right?

No, no, I'm standing

right here.

Right now I don't

see a car anywhere.

I'm in front

of the terminal.

Hey, kid, I think

this belongs to you.

That's my toy.

Thank you.

- All right.

- Take your bag, sir?

Thanks.

Look what he got tonight!

Much obliged,

everybody.

Oh, man, ain't that

the breaks, I...

That was quite

a display.

It's not everyday

you meet an American

that plays baccarat.

It's not everyday

i meet someone

who leaves me speechless.

Samantha.

I run guest services

for the casino.

The hotel would

like to offer you

a suite

for the evening,

if you are interested.

A suite?

Well, that's

a little cozier

than what

I'm used to, but--

ah, you know, just let me

cash in my chips

and I'll be all yours.

- Sure.

- Okay.

Sweetheart,

didn't I tell you

backlight's the key

to these photos?

You gotta use a flash.

Oh, hey, will you

take a photo

of me and my gal?

Please?

- Samantha.

- Boss.

Enjoy.

If you're taking

a discreet photo,

it helps to

be discreet.

Thanks for that.

Why were you

so nervous?

Come on,

he's my boss.

I gotta be cool.

Dealing with obnoxious

gamblers like me

night and day must get

pretty exhausting.

Occupational hazards.

And you're not

that obnoxious.

Well, the night's

still young.

You eaten yet?

Wanna grab

some breakfast?

I'll think about it.

Okay, you think

about it.

Oh, back so soon.

Sergei, ha!

Man, you look different.

Did you shave your back?

Start walking upright?

Heh! Good times.

You think you can

hide from us?

Why did I have asparagus?

Wait, I have money.

I can pay now.

Dima wants

a word with you.

So we take you back

to Russia.

Can't we just talk

via Skype?

You ladies didn't forget

anything in the room,

did you?

Like say this.

Ah!

Hmm.

Help me!

- - Ah!

Whoa!

Hey, guys!

What did I say?

Let's go to Russia.

I love Russia.

Connor watts should

never have set foot

onto the vip floor

using your key card.

I just met the man

last night.

Whatever you think

of these video shows,

you're wrong.

You should have

recognized him.

He cheated this casino

out of a million dollars.

Samantha.

Find him and you

can fix it.

I'll be keeping

my eye on you, hmm?

Send out everyone.

I want him dead or alive.

Okay...

Hello?

This is Leslie.

Leslie, it's bennie.

I need to locate someone.

Can you run the apb for me?

- His name is Connor watts.

- Okay, got it.

Bennie, I found him.

Sending you

his location now.

Yep, looks like I screwed

the pooch this time.

Hello, Connor.

Natalia!

I believe you know

my daughter, huh?

Natalia, you told me

your dad was a butcher.

He is.

Natalia said you were

nice American.

Very respectful.

Otherwise

you would be dead.

I'm pregnant, Connor.

Who?

Connor, I'm pregnant.

I don't believe

you can get pregnant

the way we did it.

Not that we did it.

You marry my daughter,

i let you go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We got a big

misunderstanding here.

Trust me, you don't

want me to marry her.

I mean, planning a wedding

on such short notice

is a logistical nightmare.

Dasha, again.

Oh! Oh, oh.

Oh, oh, no.

No hard feelings,

Connor.

Ah!

- Connor watts?

- Who's asking?

Bennie chan.

- Hong Kong police.

- Hong Kong?

Whoa! Hey. I can

only walk so fast.

Whoa!

Ah!

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me!

Look out!

Ah! Look out!

Look out!

Oh, god.

Ah!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Whoa! Ah!

I don't mean

to tell you your job,

but I think taking a car

would be faster.

Connor watts,

you stole money

from casino.

I bring you back

to Macau.

Let's go.

Give us the American.

No one has to die.

Sorry.

Bennie! Hey, bennie!

A little help!

Bennie! Hey, bennie!

Oh! Ooh!

Bennie, help, help!

Help, bennie!

Help! Help!

It's about time.

I'm telling dima.

So heavy.

Not so rough.

Hey!

He's mine.

Who is this man?

A Chinese cop.

Now get him!

Hey, it's not honorable

to fight girls.

Then stop acting like one.

Oh, ow!

Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait.

Ow.

You did not--

size d?

Double d.

Connor!

What are you doing?
