The Thieves Page #4

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?

That b*tch...

Means what?

'B*tch'.

She's coming.

The back is 12cm?

No way you're getting through.

Have fun.

- It's strong.

- Still just a drink.

Did you win $8 million in one night?

You should've left when you won.

You can't win with that kind of attitude.

How did you feel then?

'I'm f***ing nuts'.

Is Macao always this hot?

Then take it off.

Do you have to sell the stone

to that Wei Hong?

Otherwise I'll be hunted down.

I wish I was hunted down like that.

- How would it feel?

- It's hell.

And lonely.

- What's that tattoo?

- 'Happy ending is mine'

I've been lucky so far, no exception.

I got a huge piece of intel...

Yeah? What's that?

I'll tell you another time.

This is my grand exit.

What? I'm putting it on,

not taking it off.

What the hell are you doing?

You like her?

No...

Then what's the problem?

We should concentrate on the job.

I have no savings whatsoever,

even though I've been

doing this all my life.

All that money's gone

to my daughter.

Now my son-in-law as well.

And I get scared over

even the tiniest job.

I envy you. Young and beautiful.

It's all make-up.

I'm all rotten inside.

At least it's just your inside.

Whenever it rains,

my body aches all over.

After this job...

I want to get married...

No, just live together.

And pay taxes like others.

So, what do you have to do?

I have to open that safe.

But the problem is...

You have feelings

for Macao Park.

- I loathe that man.

- Feelings like that.

Then I should like him?

That son of a b*tch?

He's an SOB,

but one who'll make us rich.

Something doesn't feel right...

You gonna let Macao Park

sell it alone?

A long time ago,

two thieves stole Tear of the Sun

and went to Wei Hong to sell it.

Know what happened?

One died and the other

barely walked away.

- How much did he get'?

- $1,000.

I don't trust Macao Park,

- this job is bound to fail.

- Hold on.

Okay.

Macao Park is underestimating him.

So, we only go for the cash,

Tiffany's cash.

COD Casino.

Chen and Chewing gum

check into the 20th floor suite.

Yenicall will climb to

Tiffany's suite from there.

Your suite is ready, Madame.

Let's take a break.

- What time will you be back?

- Around 5AM.

She speaks Japanese?

See you then.

- Zampano, go to the roof.

- Okay.

- How do I avoid the CCTV?

- Don't worry about that.

Popie and I will create a diversion.

Hey! Are you crazy?!

You call that English?

You bastard!

No fight, no fight.

Sorry.

Sh*t!

Drop the elevator cam

and show me the floor feed.

Problem at sector B72,

please remove blacklist 39.

I'll take care of him.

I'm terribly sorry.

We have a situation on the floor.

Are you there?

Yes.

Stay hidden.

That's my specialty.

Bastard...

So he punches me for real?

It's me, the package arrived.

Make a left in front of the warehouse.

There's a cafe by the Xavier Chapel...

Hello, excuse me,

any package from Korea?

- Yes, one moment please.

- Okay.

Here you go.

I got it.

Did you get the boat for us?

This, Hong Kong.

Fine, how many people?

One.

See you tomorrow morning.

- Why aren't you married?

- Women don't like bad men.

No, you seem like a good man.

I too have seen Wei Hong's face.

A long time ago

I stole Tear of the Sun in Tokyo,

and took it to Busan.

If you do not comply

before this burns out,

you'll die one by one.

We won't sell at that price!

We want $500,000!

I said nothing and the fire went out.

So I'm a very bad man.

No, you're a good man.

I'm sorry.

I drank too much.

I get nervous before a job.

Tomorrow...

whatever happens,

don't leave my side.

I haven't...

done this in over 10 years...

Let's do 10 years worth.

He won't answer a thief's prayer.

Two thieves were by his side,

when Jesus was crucified.

We understand each other.

Don't we?

It's not the worst sin in the world.

Just a flower trying to bloom

in a pile of sh*t.

You rushed out.

What did you pray for?

For us to never meet again.

You're hiding something.

- Why did you leave me 4 years ago?

- Did I?

Zampano, how's the wind up there?

Pretty good.

It's all set up here.

Be careful.

What happened to us?

Careful.

We're on in 30 min,

everyone to your posts.

Standing by.

D-DAY, 4:
35AM

Yenicall, are you ready?

Hold on, I'm going in now.

- Your earpiece?

- Oh yeah.

- Did you get the window?

- Yeah.

What the...

- Hi.

- Hi.

What a love boat here.

Lucky you.

I'm here all by myself...

so lonely and pitiful...

Let's just focus on the money.

I'm ready.

Be careful Yenicall.

What about Tiffany?

Already at the casino an hour ago.

Tiffany must not leave the VIP room.

Chen, keep her there.

Don't worry.

Okay. Remember everyone,

we only have a 10-minute window.

If the system goes out for 10,

cops are dispatched.

How come you're not coming in?

I'm on the blacklist,

I'll wait for you at exit 7.

See you in 10.

- Why is he stopping there?

- Probably standing by.

Yenicall, have a good climb.

Do you trust me?

I have no choice.

Then do you love me?

Can I tell you later?

Alright, ready!

Action!

Hey! Wire 1 is too tight!

Loosen it a bit!

Okay, loosening wire 1.

Yenicall, be careful!

Are you okay?

Goddamn! I'll kill... ya...

Go!

- Hi.

- Hi.

Okay, STOP...

I reached Tiffany's suite.

- Let me help you.

- Thank you very much.

Freeze.

You can't be here!

- Jonny, we're at the 30th floor.

- We're going in.

Don't shoot!

Everyone freeze!

Cells and walkies on the table!

- Who are you?

- Where's the main power?

Get over there!

Security room under control.

You're late today.

What's going on?

Everyone stop!

- Clear!

- Clear!

Start.

Hurry up, we're at the door.

Oh, watch your head.

Welcome, welcome.

Sir, the backup generator is up.

This is the underground vault!

The main power's out.

What's happening up there?

There must be a problem.

No cell signal either.

Shall I check it out?

- Good luck!

- Good luck!

Seal the door

and follow the security protocol.

The police will be here in 'lo minutes.

But I have to leave.

No one leaves.

Let's turn up the heat.

- Get me more chips.

- Yes, ma'am.

Don't doze off on your morning watch.

Relief in 15.

Yenicall, are the safes open?

Are you guys on a date?

Let's hurry up.

Crazy b*tch!

That's it!

Don't worry,

I got a good feeling.

Bad luck today.

Chen!

One move, and you die!

- Back off.

- Move over there!

Chen, what are you doing?

- Petty thief.

- Bad luck for you.

Get the cash, quickly.

Emergency VIP room.

Sit!

But I'm so light.

It's open!

It's not in this one.

Over there then?

Report from the VIP room.

- The VIP room?

- Please check.

No answer.

Let's check the VIP room.

What is it?

Hey guys, sorry to bother you.

Someone told me

to hand this over to you.

What's that?

I don't know.

Isn't this our wiretap?

He knew about us!

There's something wrong.

What the hell, where is it?!

The main power is back up!

Sir, look at this!

- That's the VIP room.

- Yes, sir!

"Forget the diamond.
