The Thieves Page #5

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?

I'll meet Wei Hong alone.

It's been a pleasure."

What does this mean?

- Is he f***ing with me?

- "It's been a pleasure?"

Chen, what does he mean?

Macao Park, who are you?

- We have to leave.

- What about the diamond?

That woman we met in Hong Kong

is working for Macao Park.

Zampano, take me down first.

- Chen?

- This is a trap.

Run!

- Which way is that?

- West casino floor.

Two to the parking lot,

two to the west floor.

We got a message from Julie,

Macao Park took the diamond.

Secure the casino exits,

and pass along their photos to MPD.

Good, unseal the doors.

- Come with me, old man.

- Sure, sure.

Hey!

Come over here.

Aren't you assigned to the VIP room?

Have you seen these people?

Have you?

What's wrong?

Cross reference employee list.

What's your name?

This could be her...

I am...

Crazy b*tch!

Crazy b*tch...

Your name is 'crazy b*tch'?

Do you work here?

Hey!

Who is that guy?

Yenni! I love you!

Get him!

One suspect in custody

on the casino floor.

Let's split.

You be careful.

Excuse me, pardon.

Go on with your duty.

Show me your ID.

What's going on?

Where are you coming from?

Don't let me keep you.

It's okay,

they don't know our faces.

Right.

Let go!

You got the wrong guy!

I'm not the guy!

- Let's verify at the station.

- Alright, fine!

Sh*t, don't look at us...

don't look...

Let go of my hand!

You three!

Stop right there!

I said don't look!

Don't move!

Stop!

Freeze! Hands in the air!

Suspect opened fire

in parking sector C!

I don't see her photo.

She's not my company.

Are you scared?

It'll be okay.

Move! Move!

Goddammit!

Sh*t!

Macao Park, I'll kill you!

- Give me the key!

- Give it to him!

Give me the key!

Freeze! We will open fire!

The suspect jacked a car,

we will cover the back!

Stop the vehicle!

Floor it, Chen! I'm okay!

Chen, you're amazing!

I love you!

I really love you!

Please say it one more time.

I love you, you're wonderful.

I'm sorry.

No, I bought the wrong dream.

Two suspects killed while fleeing,

their vehicle crashed into a wall.

Confirmed at scene of the crash.

Presumed to be VIP room suspects.

Transferring 3 suspects, ETA 10 minutes.

Why am I so unlucky!

- This doesn't make sense!

- Just stay calm.

- Is it a crime to be at the casino?

- Shut up!

Stop the car!

Tell them to stop!

Right now!

- Stop, now!

- Fine, fine!

Popie, grab the wheel!

Come to pier 5, Popie.

How could you leave me there!

You knew Macao Park was gonna

back-stab me!

I'm sorry, I panicked.

I should've saved you first.

Ladies first.

What about everyone else?

Chewing gum?

She promised me she'd play

my mother at my wedding.

Let's go to Hong Kong,

and get that bastard.

Place men at Macao Ferry terminal,

Hong Kong Airport, and Central Terminal!

Just tail him,

don't make an arrest.

- Hey, I'm here.

- Hi, Macao Park!

We're in Tsim Sha Tsui,

on Macao Park's tail.

Goddamn Hong Kong humidity...

- I'm off.

- Bye bye!

Wei Hong,

the diamond is a real beauty!

Me?

Enough pleasantries,

let's get to business.

$10 million.

Not here in Hong Kong.

Busan in 3 days!

Come yourself.

Give me your light?

Thank you.

How do we find Macao Park?

There's a saying,

'Chase the wind

and clutch at shadows'.

What did Madame drive in with?

Rolls-Royce.

Let's search car rentals.

It must've been a week ago.

by a Korean client.

- Korean?

- Yes.

This must be it.

- Your wife's loving it.

- Only the best!

I got a rush when I stole this...

Hey, I found a watch over here.

You got the client's address?

I have it here,

it's not showing up on your screen?

Andrew?

Andrew!

It's a vet.

Good afternoon.

This is Busan Grand Hotel.

Hello? This is Busan...

Who is that?

The cop who was tracking Tiffany.

Could Macao Park be next?

- Will Wei Hong go to Busan?

- Definitely.

- What's Macao Park thinking?

- We'll find out.

I have a detective friend in Korea.

Hello detective, how are you?

Fine, fine, long time no see!

Cameron?

Who the hell are you?

Once a hopeful actress,

now I con for a living.

But I live and die by loyalty.

Where is he?

Yenicall, one prior conviction,

for adultery.

Adultery?

Not adultery, it was love.

Shut that f***ing trap of yours,

did I ask for my bio?

Where is that bastard?

I told you,

I live and die by loyalty.

What's your dog's name?

Cameron.

Cameron?

No, please don't!

- Cameron?

- Please!

Leave him alone.

You really love him?

Slash Cameron's throat.

So, where is he?

The mark is entering.

Where has he been?

He brought some hiking equipment.

The mark is going upstairs.

This will be a long day.

- Where the hell is my coffee?

- Sir, it's coming.

It's that building, 1503.

Slow down!

Cops are littered here!

- Cops?

- Why the hell are they here?

Me? Do it all by myself?

Just turn the 'run' switch off.

Run switch...

What the hell is that?

Looks like they're towing our car.

Wait! Wait!

What is it?

Parking violation.

We received a complaint.

Okay, it's done.

I'm coming out.

No mistakes,

we're all listening in.

Hey, you see the rage in my eyes?

At your mistakes,

Cameron goes to heaven.

Shut your trap!

Wait,

if he doesn't deliver the diamond,

Wei Hong will kill him.

Even better.

They'll be here in half an hour.

No, I'll come to you.

- We called the elevator company.

- Just get that fixed!

The mark is leaving.

Julie! Macao Park is on the move.

I'm watching him.

Take over on this side,

we'll follow him.

Go slowly.

How long will it take?

We'll fix it in a jiffy.

- Don't take all day!

- Been doing this for 100 years.

Definitely Macao Park's scent.

Is he on a diet?

What are you doing?

He won't hide it in plain sight.

Susan's great.

It has to be that room.

On the 15th floor.

Oh, two rooms please.

How many times

has that car circled the street?

About 3 times.

Macao Park is going in.

Missy, make sure to ask

where the diamond is.

- Ticket?

- Here.

- The ferry departs in 2 hours.

- Thank you.

It's all over then?

Stall him for 5 minutes.

Shame this has to end.

It's been fun.

I always have fun with women.

Really?

Had fun with Pepsee too?

Why did you save her back in Macao?

With that old man disguise on.

She was that important?

Don't trust women so easily.

She betrayed you with Popie.

Injured your leg.

Right, my leg got busted from the fall.

The alarm went off

and I slipped into the sewer.

And I just crawled...

- For a fortnight?

- Yeah.

When I went home, it was dark...

They were together.

Sure, they cut the wire together.

No. She earnestly loathes me,

even now.

She asked why I took off

with the gold 4 years ago.

So she's innocent?

The wire was his job.

He, who secretly loved her,

a small time burglar without me.

Is my story too sappy?

A little.

- When will you sell the diamond?

- Soon.

Where is it now?

At your place?

Popie!

Did you cut it?

Macao Park's wire?

What are you talking about?

A**hole.

Answer me straight.

Stop f***ing around
