The Thieves

So glad to finally meet you!

Sorry, I was held up

with magazine interviews.

No, I know how busy you are.

My apologies for looking this way,

I came from a hike.

Please, don't be so formal.

- Bring us some tea.

- Forget that.

Is that Royal Salute?

May I?

I need some hard liquor in me today.

So I understand

you deflowered my daughter?

Mom, don't be so crude.

Once driven,

even a Mercedes is a used car.

Let me get a good look at you.

No, your full figure.

At least you're not deformed.

Are you very wealthy?

So do you own this building?

Not until my father's passing.

- What about the art?

- It's on a consignment-basis.

I don't want to brag...

but my collection is

too valuable for public display...

- May I take a look?

- Look at...?

Your collection.

Of course!

You stay here,

let me borrow him a bit.

Gum!

Gum? Ah, right!

Sorry honey,

she's a bit weird, huh?

She's very avant-garde.

Mother, this way please.

Sure, lead the way.

- We'll be back!

- See you soon!

Show time!

Shoot.

Good shot, Zampano.

That was my shot.

When will be Zampano's turn?

Pull me up.

Look at that dimwit.

It's like an expensive fridge.

The system recovers

within 3 minutes of any problem.

And please don't be so formal.

- Weren't you a painter before'?

- Did my daughter tell you'?

Yes, that you were all about

the romantic life.

Shall we?

Oh, I shouldn't look.

- I'm set, lower me.

- Here goes.

Too fast! Too fast!

My pelvis...

Honestly,

everything in the museum is fake.

Please come in.

Do you think I'm shallow

for asking about your wealth?

I thought you were frank.

I am shallow.

But can I tell you something?

My daughter hit the jackpot.

Ow, my head.

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

- Mother, are you okay?

- I'm fine.

You seem comfortable

with me now.

Maybe a little.

This way.

- That was spectacular.

- My pleasure.

The clock's ticking,

we got 3 minutes.

- Are you in?

- Yeah, I'm in.

Where is that decoder?

That's it!

- Okay. Zampano, get me out.

- Okay.

See you soon.

Hey, hey, I need more time!

Chewing gum, stall him!

Mother, are you okay?

Stop!

Sweetheart?

What's wrong?

You okay? Are you hurt?

Help me up.

Life is tough at times.

Hold onto him,

he's quite a catch.

One moment.

Where's the alarm coming from?

It's from your private storage.

But I was just there.

Madame!

Madame!

I'm sorry,

but I'll need to open your bag.

Something wrong?

Honey, are you accusing my mom?

Mr. Lee, if you open this bag,

you'll never see my daughter again.

What should I do?

Open it.

It's not here.

Tell them

it was just a security protocol.

Honey, but there's

no protocol for love.

May we leave?

She's the real deal.

This beauty belongs

in the national museum.

Why the cash is is so little?

I can't put this on the market now.

It's already on the watch list.

I'll give you the rest in 2 years.

So... make up your mind.

No choice. Split it.

I'll cover the rest from my share.

Forget it.

I'll collect in 2 years.

Can I get all my share now?

- Is money all you think about?

- He said he'll cover.

I worked on that dumb-ass

for 5 months.

Only cash will make up

for my bygone youth.

Did you sleep with the curator?

No, why... is that your business?

That's quite a feat.

Did you hold hands for 5 months?

Chewing gum!

Am I a sex object?

Watch who you're talking to!

Where's your respect!

That temperament of yours

comes from not getting laid.

Isn't that ancient history?

How about him?

Don't fight.

The next job is a blockbuster.

Didn't Popie mention

the Macao Park job'?

Who's Macao Park?

Is that the backstabber

you mentioned?

Man, he used to fly high on the wire.

Yeah, Popie's old boss.

Like hell!

He was just a partner.

So who is he?

What a load of sh*t...

When he was 24,

he went to Macao with $700.

How much did he make?

$8 million! So he's called 'Macao Park'.

Don't care how much others made,

unless it's mine.

- Aren't we doing it?

- Let's do it with Macao Park

I don't trust that a**hole.

The Chinese will join too.

Where the hell

are they getting their leads?!

Turn on the music!

- Just hide!

- Get the money!

- Hey Popie, business doing well?

- Good afternoon!

Business is good to those who have it.

You're not fired yet?

- Ever heard of Leesung Gallery?

- Sure.

We've been following

the curator for 3 months.

He's been buying up anything

worth a damn in China.

From that Chinese fence,

what's his name?

- Wei Hong, sir.

- Yeah, him.

- Why so many Duponts?

- Take one.

Thanks.

Anyway, he was robbed yesterday.

But claims he wasn't.

Security firms had a field day.

Ashtray?

Can I use this?

Uh, sure, that's... an ashtray.

If it were you,

how would you get in?

I'd use a wire to get in

from the next building.

Show him the photos.

That's exactly how they got in.

Isn't that Chewing gum

next to the hottie?

That's Chewing gum?

I haven't seen her in ages.

Yeah?

Give her a call with his cell.

Let's see...

Turn off your cell!

I left it there...

Yup, it's right here.

If this was my job,

I wouldn't use her.

She's not good with orders,

and drinks too much.

She must be antsy,

getting caught on CCTV like that.

But why the hell

am I getting pinned here?

Once a con,

always a con, is that it?

She's not picking up.

Want another blow?

You're quite photogenic on the bike.

This is me?

I get accused of all the crimes?

Show me a warrant

if you want to open that!

All I want is the curator, not you.

Or shall I tail you for 3 months?

You want a taste of the law?

- Isn't the law a bit slow?

- We'll make it fast for you.

I'll get you a warrant tomorrow.

Goddammit...

Come out, come out.

My cell phone!

I forgot to take this...

Spitting on a national treasure...

We're going abroad.

Why would we go there?

Five-O has Popie now!

Are we flying out?

Should we go mess him up?

Don't ask me!

I'm antsy and drink like a whore!

I'll pack a bottle for the trip!

Ah! Have a good trip.

I shouldn't go,

I had a dream about dying abroad.

Even Audrey Hepburn died,

you'll die someday too.

We're in this together.

I'll buy your bad dream.

Seriously?

Deal!

Here comes my dream!

He didn't ask for Chewing gum.

Just the wire team.

Oh... Really?

But Yenicall's going, right?

Yenicall! Fetch a guest

from the prison with that car.

You still call that a Mercedes?

- Isn't Pepsee due out next year?

- She's paroled.

Who the hell is Pepsee?

- Aren't we leaving?

- Do you know me?

How would I?

You brought my car.

Are you famous?

That's why I was caught.

Are you rich?

I used to be.

So what happened?

Us thieves, we steal expensive stuff

and sell it cheap.

It's all a battle against yourself.

Was that a snicker?

There's so much things to battle,

why fight yourself?

- You don't like me, do you?

- No, I really like you.

- You must not like me.

- I like you just fine.

Right? I get on well with old women.

Pull over.

Excuse me,

we don't have a lot of time.

Don't talk to me about time.
