The Thieves Page #3

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?

Let's do a drink wave!

We're in position.

Lower it.

Here it comes.

Macao Park's up first.

Okay, STOP...

Standby.

Take responsibility.

For what?

For stealing a woman's heart.

Is that a crime?

Hurry up, cops are patrolling.

Lower me.

Here goes.

- Wait, something's wrong.

- The wire feels odd.

Is something wrong?

Are you okay?

Did the wire snap?

Macao Park fell!

- Stay where you are, I'm coming!

- No, I'm going down!

No, the alarm will go off!

The cops are moving in,

get out now!

Can you hear me?

Get out!

What happened?

Did the police find him?

No.

So he's not captured...

But why isn't he calling?

The gold is worth $3 million,

would you call?

- It's only been 3 days.

- It's already been 3 days.

Yes?

Let her in.

- Susan's great.

- Come in.

It has to be that room.

On the 15th floor.

Oh, two rooms please.

I heard you got paroled.

Am I disturbing your plan?

Korea's nicer than here.

Disorganized, so much to steal.

What's with the attitude?

I thought you'd apologize.

Nothing to apologize for.

Then what about that gold?

Thank you, both of you.

I took off with the gold, is that it?

I'm a thief, so what?

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

At that time,

I thought we had something.

It's not like we're Romeo and Juliet.

Of course not.

So you think I can't crack the safe?

Open this in 5, and you're in.

That's cheating.

I'm a thief, so what?

See you in Macao.

Did you get it?

Southeast Asian fence list.

Okay! The diamond is ours.

Will the duplicate be ready?

Of course.

It's me...

Did you look into 'Tear of the Sun'?

Yeah, that one.

Bring me the wine over there.

Yeah.

Dammit.

So, how long will it take

to make a replica?

but money's the problem.

I'll give you $20,000,

send it over to Macao.

It's all set.

Whew, I almost died abroad.

I see you're not jerking off.

- Hey!

- Yeah?

Most women would fluster

in this situation.

But not me.

Why?

This always happens to me.

You little bastard,

relax your lips when kissing.

Hoarding the good stuff

for yourselves?

No no... drink up.

I'm out ladies!

Let's drink!

Macao Park, you're f***ed now.

- Popie, is it ready?

- Let's go get that gold.

Okay, I'm almost done.

- What happened?

- Macao Park fell!

Did the wire snap?

Cops are going in!

- And the gold?

- It's all with Macao Park.

Why'd that bastard have it?

After reviewing CCTV evidence,

police released a photo of the suspect.

Have you been drinking?

How long has it been?

A fortnight.

I get it now,

he's not coming back.

Are you okay?

You're on my side, aren't you?

Give me a ride to the police

in the morning.

Let's do this!

Stop it.

So hot!

Stinks in here.

- What a shitty rat-hole!

- So disgusting!

From here on, use these cells.

They connect everyone at once.

Oh, Blackberry...

Read the dossiers,

your roles are explained in there.

Wait.

My wallet.

It's missing!

Working with you thieves

makes me nervous!

Julie, was it you?

Of course it wasn't Julie.

Can't trust any of you.

Who was it?

My Korean compatriots

just snatched it.

You!

You touched me just now. Why?

What was that for,

do you like me?

Andrew!

Stop fooling around.

- Buddy! Getting jittery already?

- I'm just pumped up...

to get started.

We're a couple?

A Japanese couple?

- That a problem?

- No, I'll get it done.

Thank you very much.

I lived in Osaka for 3 years.

Tokyo for me.

Is that so?

First, secure seats at the table.

The Japanese couple must

pour money into the game.

And in order to break even,

Jonny will bet

the same amount against them.

- Hi.

- Good luck, good luck.

Second, survey the premises!

Check the floor layout

and staff patrol routes.

Andrew.

Sir, this is a restricted area.

This isn't the Beijing Duck?

- No, that's downstairs.

- Okay, thank you.

- What's good today?

- Everything.

- Has your dad been discharged?

- Yeah, he's out.

Andrew, check the security

room you'll get in with Jonny later.

Next.

Tiffany will arrive in Macao

with Wei Hong's diamond.

The GM will be there to greet her.

Popie, stay on her tail.

So good to see you, Madame,

how long has it been!

This way please.

Tiffany's here.

Two bodyguards, two suitcases.

On their way to the casino.

Is she a good gambler?

She hits hard on every hand.

She's at the golf course

in the afternoon,

and at the casino afterwards.

No particular meets.

One bodyguard is always with her,

meaning the other is on the 30th floor.

I need the master key

to check out the floor.

You'll get the key.

We'll have to borrow it

from the general manager.

Yenicall, Zampano,

you guys are a team tonight.

Why take that off?

Going to work.

You just focus on the wallet.

'IO minutes will be enough.

Like me that much?

Just wondering

what perfume you use.

I don't use one.

It's my body odor.

That's what men go ga-ga over.

New hairstyle?

Here he comes.

What are you drinking?

This?

- Bourbon and coke.

- Bourbon and coke.

First time seeing you.

Chinese?

Korean.

Korean!

'Hurry, hurry!'

- 'F*** you'?

- Yeah, 'f*** you'.

F*** me...

Shall I buy you a drink?

Two glasses of wine!

Wait,

I'll buy.

Why?

I got a good feeling about you.

- Seriously?

- Yeah, seriously.

The casino clients stress me out.

Shall we go someplace quiet

for another drink?

No, I like it here fine.

This place is not bad.

- Do you like me too?

- I told you... I like you...

He was really into you.

Wait,

how do we bring in the gun?

The gun?

Third, bribery.

Why is he sending me alone on this?

Which old man is it?

- 'Will it snow in Macao?'

- Crazy bastard!

'Will it snow in Macao?'

- 'Will it snow...'

- Money!

I'll see you upstairs.

That's it?

- The meal's here.

- Please wait.

That's mine.

Aw, hot!

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm fine, really.

So hot...

It's 3.

We need 6.

- 6!

- 6!

- It's 6!

- Nice!

I feel bad for her.

She's really rich.

Probably doesn't know Japanese?

Just need to get through two layers.

The backside is too thick.

How do you open?

I trust my fingers.

Hong Kong Police Station

go through the back.

It's easy, but requires heavy equipment

and takes too long.

They're stupid,

and get caught the most.

But the real pros go through the front.

It's difficult but fast.

Here's why.

The front is harder

because of this glass relocker.

If the drill shatters it,

a wire attached to it releases

a weight and locks up permanently.

There is no second chance.

- When are you meeting Chen?

- Tonight.

Give her the gun.

- Forget it.

- It's for your own safety.

I may not crack the safe,

worry about that instead.

Didn't you learn skills

from your father?

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

He's a thief and I'm a cop.

You can't fail, we need Macao Park

to lead us to Wei Hong.

We've been on him for 5 years,

and still not a mug shot,

sometimes he feels like a friend.

Glass relocker is very sensitive.

Go for the back. It's easier.

Nope, I go through the front.

That's the real way.

- How?

- I don't know yet.
