See?

Hello?

Hi, rose. It's Charlie.

Hey, what's up?

I'd like to schedule the interview.

Tomorrow.

Great!

I'm busy.

The day after tomorrow?

Sure.

Would you like to come to my office?

Text me the address.

My driver can pick you up.

Why'd you hang up?

He didn't even finish.

You're so annoying.

Wait! Where are you going?

Checking whether the facial

mask worked its magic.

He's calling back!

You answer it.

She was just...

Could you please stop doing that?

Sorry, stress relief.

Doctor's orders.

Does it work?

Not really.

You seem really obsessed with him. Why?

I'm not obsessed. He's a thief, I'm a cop.

My duty is to catch him.

That's it

I'm just curious.

Sorry.

If I made you uncomfortable.

You know when Zhang stole

the "eye of the forest"

I chased him through the streets of Paris.

Almost had him.

When a car crashed into me

I was trapped in the wreckage

I thought for sure I was going to die.

You know why I want to get him so bad?

Because he's the worst

kind of thief there is.

The kind that has Patience, and integrity.

The kind that if I don't get him now

I'm afraid I won't ever get him.

It's her.

Now what?

We wait and we follow her.

There's interference in the feed.

How about now?

Good.

This way please.

Take a good look.

Copy.

You mind if I record the interview?

Not at all.

Alright.

Let's begin.

Mr. Law, what year were you born?

On the 31st of this month

I'm throwing myself a birthday party here

I'd like for you to be there.

Maybe.

Let's get on with the interview, shall we?

When was the first time you tasted wine?

16 years old.

Do you remember what kind it was?

No, but it was expensive for sure.

So as long as the wine's

expensive, it's good?

Not just wine, it applies to everything.

Money means a lot to you, doesn't it.

Of course.

Mr. Law.

How would you describe your occupation?

Making money.

Big and small.

For example this castle

I live here but I also open

parts of it for tourists.

What's the most valuable

item in your collection?

Have you heard of the "rope of life"?

No, but now that you mention it...

I have an idea.

How about I take a picture of

you and the "rope of life"?

It'd make the article more enticing.

Now?

Yes.

Sure.

Follow me.

Right this way.

It's secret passage.

Must be standard for the rich.

Your security system here

must be one of a kind.

Everything is linked up to

the security control center.

There are cameras in there.

That are connected to my cell phone.

Good morning, Mr. Law.

Here is my collection.

Out of all the artifacts.

This is my favorite.

It's stunning.

It must be very expensive.

A lot of people would kill

to get their hands on it.

As it's one of the most coveted

pieces of jewelry in the world.

Buddy is my most trusted

security team member.

Yes, we've met before.

Buddy is actually very friendly.

He's just a little playful sometimes.

Try calling his name.

Buddy!

Let's start talking some pictures.

Okay.

Alright.

Ready.

Sorry, there's a reflection.

From the glass.

No problem, I can open it up.

Looks very high tech.

Alright, again.

Give me a high-spirited pose.

Wait a minute.

Fine.

Alright.

Give me a pose with a homely feeling.

Perfect. Now some full body shots.

Great.

Let me get a top shot.

Sure.

Imagine you're presenting it with pride.

Can you step to your left?

A little more.

Just a little more.

More?

Are you sure you can still see me?

Perfect from this angle.

During the Nazi occupation of

Czechoslovakia in world war ll.

The castle was inhabited by the Nazis.

An underground secret passageway

was built as an escape route.

It connects the basement of the

castle all the way to the winery.

In fact, the wine cellar

was used as a bomb shelter.

Here she is, coming out.

That's way off.

Hello inspector.

I see your time behind bars did

little to rehabilitate you.

Not true.

I tried painting.

But I'm just better at

stealing art than making it.

Once a thief, always a thief.

Easy.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to talk

I'm listening

Amber.

That's your business.

Mine is to bring you in.

You dragged her into this mess.

That makes it your business.

Give this to her.

And keep her out of this.

What's going on?

He still cares for you.

You said you know how

it feels to be betrayed.

Who was it?

Since when are you interested in bonding?

When I was a boy, my father

was the greatest man I knew.

Everybody loved him, respected him.

He traveled a lot... For work he said.

Used to bring me trinkets and tell me that.

One day I'd go with him.

I was 14 when the police came.

Raided our home and seized everything.

I don't know if the trinkets

he gave me were stolen or not.

Doesn't matter.

Cops took them all away.

My dad too.

He went to jail.

Left us with nothing.

Did you ever confront your father?

He died in prison.

People like Zhang and my

father they destroy lives.

It isn't just objects they steal.

It is trust as well.

Well, I don't have to tell you this.

Why did you agree to help me?

One day.

Someone offers you an opportunity.

To put away someone you

tried so hard to forget.

But couldn't.

So you take it, because it

is the right thing to do.

I just didn't realize how hard it would be.

As much as I hate him.

I still...

Say no more

I understand.

It looks like our pal Charlie's

throwing a party at the castle

I have to go

I'm going with you.

I want to.

(He)'

What kind of fingerprint scanner is this?

It's a pain to wear.

Help me lace this up.

Come on.

This is a high-risk operation.

Which operation isn't?

If anything happens.

I mean, if one of us gets caught.

I can't save you.

You don't have to save me either.

This is a rule set by Zhang.

That's a strange rule.

It's too tight.

Let's give it a try.

You need to hold on tighter.

What are all these red flags?

Surveillance cameras.

Their range is around 50 meters.

And they cover the whole

perimeter of the castle.

That's really difficult to get in.

That's why we won't be

going in on ground level.

Then how would we get in?

Getting inside is not impossible.

We can enter from the winery.

That's adjacent to the castle.

In there? Are we gonna suffocate to death?

The winery needs some new barrels.

That's how demon will sneak us in.

The manhole leads directly to

the underground passageway.

That will take us to the

castle's security control center.

Po.

Once I get there, I'll take out the guards.

Then turn off the surveillance

cameras and the security system.

Happy birthday to you.

Zhang will enter the vault

from the watchtower.

Exactly.

Got it.

And who's going to open the vault?

You've already planted the seed.

Laser system is down.

You look absolutely gorgeous today.

Thank you.

I know that you've got everything.

So I didn't bring a present.

You coming tonight is the

best present I could ask for.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Scared the crap out of me.

What the hell just happened?
