The Thieves Page #2

Synopsis: In order to let things cool down from their latest heist, Popeye and his group of thieves go to Macau on a job. But the mastermind behind this job is none other than Popeye's old partner Macau Park, who escaped with 68kg of gold several years ago on their last job together. Macau Park brought Chinese thieves as well but little did they know what Macau Park planned for each one of them. His plan takes an unexpected turn when Popeye brings Pepsi, a genius safe-cracker and old flame of Macau Park, to settle the old score. The thieves' target is a $20 million diamond known as 'Tear of the Sun', kept safely away in a casino, brought there to be sold by a notorious Chinese fence. While working together to steal this fabled diamond, they all have their own agenda to keep the diamond for themselves. But who will succeed and live to see another day?

Yes, ma'am.

Welcome back!

- Ah, this is Chewing gum.

- Of course I do!

Your performance on the job

is legendary.

How do you do?

Don't flatter me. I'm old now.

I heard you were in Japan.

Popie kept nagging me for jobs.

Smells like booze.

My daughter's getting a divorce

so I had a drink!

I drink a glass a day

to maintain my health.

This is Zampano.

Excuse us for a moment.

She's still beautiful.

Bullshit. She looks like

super-duper b*tch.

Are they dating?

You're a boss now?

Going legit?

Only after the Macao job.

- Did that bastard invite me?

- He thinks you're still in jail.

If we go, promise me

you'll let me skin him alive.

We're on the same page.

Could we ask you to leave?

Why, did I win too much'?

You're on the blacklist.

Is that right?

Thank you.

See you soon.

There won't be a next time.

You never know.

Chen, it's Macao Park.

Let's go fishing.

Sure, where?

See you there.

Didn't you call right away?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I thought he called.

Sorry, I pressed it by accident.

Half of calls are false alarms.

Shaowen! Where's my coffee?

Coffee?

No thank you,

can I use the washroom?

You really do come in 5 minutes.

We're very precise with time.

False alarm at the jewelry.

Nothing to report.

Thank you.

Thank you again.

Thank you.

Let's head back.

Did you call it in?

They want us in Tai Ji.

Take care.

Good bye.

You scheming b*tch!

Where do you want it?

Here? Or here?

Just the cash.

Stop fooling around.

You're a cutie.

So a Chick's joining us for the job?

Can't let the Koreans open the safe.

Is she hot?

Hope she's young.

Definitely hotter than you.

Here she comes.

Haven't changed one bit.

You're almost a man now.

- We get to work together.

- Finally.

You still look the same.

Is your father still active?

He retired after seeing

what I can do.

It's him?

The charity case?

Andrew!

Huh? What did you say?

Why are you speaking Cantonese?

Making fun of me?

No.

- Belittling me!

- Of course not!

"Hi!

"Hi!

When are the Koreans arriving?

Tomorrow.

- Aren't Koreans always full of lies?

- They sure are.

- And that Macao Park's Korean too.

- He sure is.

Goddamn Koreans.

- Didn't you work with him before?

- Once upon a time.

Is that mustache Macao Park?

He's not here yet.

Look, here they come.

- Check out those dirty looks.

- We gotta watch out.

One man sows and another man reaps.

Come on, smile.

- Morons, dressed up in this heat.

- Grinning like village idiots.

That Korean Chick's hot though.

Definitely plastic surgery.

You think so?

Let's get a taste.

I'll go easy.

Gotta put them down at the get-go.

That is some hot body.

And a good job on the face.

What's this fat head saying?

I don't normally trust Koreans,

but seeing you,

I want to open up my heart.

Go away, a**hole.

'A**hole'?

- He called me an a**hole!

- Just sit down.

You speak Chinese?

He's a Korean-Chinese,

what did he say?

He asked if you got plastic surgery.

Hey fat head, you know

how hard it is to be born this way?!

Calm down.

Let's wait quietly.

You wanna die?

Son of a b*tch... Grab my arm?

Grab my arm?

A tough guy!

Think I won't shoot?

I'll kill you!

Don't move!

I'm sorry.

I'm fine.

Ow! Ow! Hot! Hot!

Cold water! Cold water!

Are you OK?

You're a Korean?

I am Korean! Ow, ow!

Did you come with Popie?

Are you Macao Park?

You reek of booze.

Hold this.

- Wait, wait!

- You must be the wire walker.

Careful, the skirt is short.

Short skirt and long hair...

A lady must-have.

Shall we?

We're pleased to meet you too.

I'm sorry for being late.

- Good to see you, Chen.

- It's been a long time.

Sit, everyone sit down.

Sit down, sit.

Looks like you broke the ice,

let's get acquainted later.

You're all professionals

on top of your game.

Professionals.

You too, Popie.

I'm a petty thief next to you.

Am I right, Chen?

Let's get to the business.

Chen, guns?

This is too big.

Too heavy.

Oh come on now.

This one, two.

Just these.

Where are we robbing?

Casino.

Insane! Absolutely insane!

We're robbing a casino?

What are we after?

Our target is... 'Tear of the Sun'.

A diamond.

Tear of the Sun,

current estimated value $30 million.

Stolen during an exhibition in Tokyo.

Presumed to be in Hong Kong.

Who is she?

Tiffany, who will bring the diamond.

Are you the wire puller?

Don't be rude and that's my lighter.

I thought it was your boss.

You're all grown up.

So I brought two old friends.

Been a while!

Can I join you?

Have you quit drinking?

I don't touch that stuff.

You look different.

How about a word?

Why not.

- Why did you bring Pepsee?

- To open the safe.

We come in a package, no deal.

You open the safe.

Your hand is still soft.

We're not that close.

Wait, wait, wait!

I just busted

my safe-cracking hand.

You still can't act.

Chewing gum can stay.

But send Pepsee back.

And take that

stupid mustache off.

Son of a bith...

Sorry, please don't mind them.

Where were we?

- Isn't that Madame Tiffany?

- It's gonna get hot.

She's Wei Hong's mistress.

So we're robbing Wei Hong's stone?

Why? Scared?

- What?

- Who's Wei Hong?

Wei Hong is...

No one knows his identity,

what he looks like,

- or even his nationality.

- The butterfly tattoo on his hand.

Yeah, if you see the butterfly tattoo...

you're dead... Your mustache?

I know him,

that Chinese fence bastard.

- The notorious one.

- He sure is.

He's into arms dealing now.

Wait, how much will you sell it for?

US$20 million.

Holy sh*t!

$20 million!

- Who will you sell it to?

- Who could it be?

This is a list of Southeast Asian fences.

Malaysia's Boonhyungtan,

Singapore's Weechung,

and Hong Kong's Wei Hong!

Sell it back to Wei Hong?

You don't even know him.

But I do.

I've met him before.

You've met Wei Hong?

Want to back out?

Alright, let's do it.

Who's the source of this info?

Good question!

She came in a Rolls-Royce.

A chair please.

These your crew?

So, questions?

Tiffany is a regular at the casino.

Does she keep the diamond

in the casino safe?

Ever been to the underground vault?

You'll never get inside.

Where is it then?

Suite on the 30th floor.

That's easy, just a hotel suite.

The Secom,

Security!

Security!

Thermal imaging cameras

cover every corner of 30th floor.

There're two safes,

no idea what the numbers are.

The door is secured with magnetic field,

Tiffany had a heart surgery 4 years ago

and had a pacemaker put in.

And it's synced with the security system,

so no one gets in but her.

Except you people, right?

Like a miracle.

Of course, we specialize in miracles.

Good.

Keep all the money

in the safe and we've never met.

Hey, who are you?

Tiffany is my sister, step-sister.

He wants me to stay,

Will you leave?

No, life is about

sticking to your guns.

Good!

Let's toast.

Hey, country mouse!

Go get us some glasses!

Ma'am! I've got a college diploma!

- And I lived in Seoul!

- Oh, is that so?

Pepsee, join us.
