Tell me again.

What is a bitcoin?

Bitcoin is digital money that

you can make by going online...

and helping to maintain

a ledger of all

bitcoin transactions in the world.

Bitcoin is illegal because you can

transfer it anywhere in the world

without going through a bank.

What are you? Some

kind of an accountant?

Something like that.

Bulls.

You must be a shitty accountant

to have ended up in here.

Check.

Check.

I'm an excellent accountant.

Attention.

These are the targets for this

illegal bitcoin exchange raid.

Is she the famous "Ghost"

that Interpol is after?

No.

Her name is Ky.

One of the assassins

the Ghost pays

to protect his accountant, Phuc.

Our informant tells us

they work for the Ghost.

They are present at

every bitcoin exchange.

If the Ghost isn't

here, then why are we?

Huh?

Cyber Crimes Task Force...

What a joke.

A Joke?

Lingerie...

What's so funny?

I'm shopping for my wife.

Buying them online is better

than going to the store.

So let's say you are shopping

for lingerie online...

and you Google "hot girls."

But then you get this message.

Your files have been encrypted.

You have to pay for a code to

unlock them before

they are erased.

You have 95 hours, 58 mins,

and 15 seconds left.

After that your files

will be deleted.

Why can't I escape?

What does this mean?

It means you're now a victim.

You need to pay the Ghost

$500 dollars in bitcoins

in order to save the

files to your computer.

Now multiply $500 dollars

by 10,000 victims

who fall prey to this

virus every day.

Tell me.

Is this still a joke to you?

So let's catch this woman.

No.

She's just a hired gun.

We need the accountant

to identify the Ghost.

So why all the guns?

There's almost $800,000 there.

Now the Ghost will transfer the

bitcoins to the

wallet in Ky's phone.

The hallways are full

of security cams.

Do you not know the

meaning of "no cameras"?

Sergeant Trong, are you ready?

A-Squad is ready. B-Squad report.

B-Squad.

Ready.

The bitcoins are available.

There it is.

What?

The exchange.

What exchange?

3,000 bitcoins. $800,000.

Illegal money, laundered

through bitcoins.

Dangerous.

A-Squad, wait for my signal.

She just identified our informant.

Move in.

Wait.

B-Squad...

Move in.

A-Squad move in.

Sergeant, secure the accountant.

Trong.

Freeze.

What do I tell the Ghost now?

Someone sold us out. What else?

The targets have left the hotel.

Get the car.

We need to split up. Meet at

the safe house in 2 hours.

Cars go after Ky. I'll take Phuc.

Bi, where did you go?

- Bi, don't come down.

- I'm already here.

Yeah, you better run.

- Don't steal my kill.

- Who's stealing?

- Let me kill him.

- Steal?

- Run.

- Don't steal my kill.

STEALING IT.

Damn you. Always stealing my kill.

For the win.

Winning? Keep that up,

and you're gonna get it.

Who's gonna get me?

Me.

You're just pissed

because my champion

is better than yours, and sexier.

Sexy? You mean those busty bimbos

you choose for your avatar?

That's because...

I believe in the

will power of women.

Will power?

So why do they all have

grapefruits for boobs?

Where do you think

will power comes from?

Will...

power.

My sister has no "will power."

Take a good look.

The closest you'll ever get...

to these grapefruits

is by stealing

them from our customers' phones.

It's not the same.

These selfie-girls

will upload their

photos to Facebook

sooner or later.

What's the harm in

uploading them first

and making some

cash along the way?

Because it's wrong.

Look...

What?

This is a gratitude stone.

In life, you should

learn to live like Bi.

I thank life for each morning that

I get to wake up and make love.

"Make love..."

Make love.

Where did you say the house

was? Because I can't find it.

There's just number

42. No number 40.

Only 42. That's right.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

Ky?

Why are you calling

from another number?

I had to make an unexpected stop.

Don't tell the boss

anything until we meet...

- What.

- What happened?

Hello?

What do you want for lunch?

Hello gorgeous.

I urgently need to fix my phone.

But everything looks fine to me.

Not this one.

This one.

It accidentally got drilled.

Can you extract the data?

Sure.

Drilling is my speciality.

Come in.

Wanna back up your photos?

No need.

Khanh, don't go back

to the station.

Keep searching the area.

She couldn't have gone far.

Can you fix phones?

Or do you only wipe screens?

Hardly.

She's a pro League

of Legends gamer.

If you want to level up to

champion, she's your girl.

30,000...

times $250...

$7.5 million.

What was that?

Nothing.

Your phone's busted.

If you want to keep your data,

you'll need a new phone.

Want this one?

It's 7.5 mil.

Hurry it up.

Hello?

What the hell did you do?

Do what?

Why does the balance on the

Ghost's account say zero?

Say what again?

What's missing?

The Ghost's bitcoin

wallet. It's empty.

30,000 coins. What did you do?

Nothing.

- The phone was broken...

- I don't care.

Do you know what he'll do to me

when he finds out

I lost his money?

Your job was to protect

me and the money,

but I'm stranded here, and

you've lost the money.

New plan. Meet me at the

following address...

I don't need to know.

Do you know what the

Ghost does to failures?

He'll gut me like a pig.

Get that money back.

Son of a bitch. Did

you steal again?

That's right, you dog.

Why don't you tell

your sister where

you transferred the bitcoins?

Or I'll blow her head off.

Hey, hold it.

Just let me get on the

computer to return it.

Get to it.

This'll teach me to

steal from players.

Hear this.

That money isn't mine.

You'd be wise not to

steal from the Ghost.

Phuc.

Bi.

Police. Move away.

Move away.

Target apprehended.

Khanh, report.

A dead informant.

A room full of corpses.

The target shot full of holes.

A bystander put in a coma.

And a useless phone.

How long should I suspend you?

But we arrested the accountant...

For money laundering?

The bitcoin wallet

is in the phone.

- We just need to recover...

- The data?

All of the data in this

phone has been wiped.

Without the bitcoin wallet,

arresting the accountant

won't do any good.

With money-laundering charges,

the longest time he will serve

in jail is 8 to 12 months.

All the while, the Ghost is still

out there, still

committing crimes.

How should I answer my superiors?

This is all your fault.

If you hadn't

interrupted, we would

have arrested them

all at the hotel.

You are his superior.

If you can't control

your subordinate,

then it's your fault, not his.

Let him go.

Let go.

- Dada.

- Dad.

Today I am your chief officer.

Let him go.

We've lost the Ghost.

It's not over yet.

Chief, sir.

We can still catch the

Ghost using Phuc.

Let me speak with the accountant.

Enough.

Relinquish your badge

and gun on the desk.

You're on temporary probation

as of this moment.

Officer Khanh.

Wait outside. I need to speak

privately with my daughter.

What's the plan?

Somebody help me.

Help.

Let me out.

Help...

Let me out.

Help...

Is there anybody out there?

Let me out. Police brutality...

Go on, scream.

There's no one out there.

You were caught with $750k

of the mob's cash...

and 3,000 bitcoins

belonging to the Ghost.

My superior tells me that your

maximum sentence is 1 year.

But I don't think that's fair.

I think you should be released.

That's right.

You get to choose who will

come after you first.

The mob, whose money you lost.

Or the Ghost, who guts

people who fail him.

Or you can help me

catch the Ghost.

You think catching

the Ghost is it?

Without the proof of

his bitcoin wallet, he

still walks free to

find me and kill me.

I'll help you if you

can protect me.

You're in no place to bargain.

Because of you, I

am no longer a cop.

With my fingerprints,

the Ghost can find me.

Burn my arrest record,

and I will help you.

If not...

then just kill me now.

Welcome to the Garena

Premier League.

Let the games begin.

Thomas Nam, my boss, is the

one you call the Ghost.

He's German-Korean and a

brilliant programmer.

His company, Khimera...

provides cyber security for

many banks all over the world.

In Korea, they call

him "Yulyeong."

Which means "ghost."

You speak Korean?

A little bit.

Wow.

Cool.

They call him the Ghost...

because there has never been a

firewall that he

can't walk through.

To hackers and gamers,

Thomas is a rock star.

He lives in Taiwan to

avoid Interpol's reach,

but even the Ghost can't

escape a League Championship.

What's wrong with your hand?

I'm allergic to dust.

Dirty surfaces make

my hand swollen.

You're in quite a dirty business

for being such a clean freak.

Thomas wrote a breakthrough

algorithm for banking...

and accepted the mob's

money to start up Khimera.

In return, he had to launder

their money at any given time.

Now Thomas needs cash

fast to buy them out.

That's why he created

a virus called...

The Crypt.

How do I know you're not

just making all of this up?

The ledger in his bitcoin

wallet will prove it.

So Khimera is just a clean front

for his dirty businesses.

Not just clean...

but also beautiful.

Now that you've told me all

the Ghost's secrets...

you're of no use to me any more.

Not yet.

You need proof of Thomas's crimes.

It's the same reason you

couldn't keep me in jail.

In addition to the

wallet, you need proof

that the wallet is

linked to Thomas.

Only then can you prove that all

the ransom money from the Crypt

and all of the mob's

laundered money

are deposited into

Thomas's wallet.

What kind of proof?

Burn my record before it

goes into the system.

Then we'll talk.

Go home and keep shopping online.

This doesn't concern you.

Why are you taking

Phuc's rap sheet?

Where is he? You need

to return him to us.

No.

He's the only way I

can get to the Ghost.

Do you know how

many men gave their

lives so that we could arrest him?

You'll have to shoot me

if you want to stop me.

If you walk out, then I

can't protect you any more.

What else is new?

- You'd better not be lying.

- I told you, I'm dead if I was.

In order to catch the Ghost, we

first need to steal

a $75,000 ring.

Here, take this. Smoking

is very bad for you.

Thomas keeps his

bitcoin wallet inside

the mainframe of the

Khimera server.

That's the ring we need to steal.

There's a QR code

inside the crowned gem.

The Khimera server

has a direct link

to all of the banks it supports.

That's why Thomas

chose the mainframe

computer to store

his bitcoin wallet.

And only the QR code in the

ring can access the mainframe.

The problem is...

Thomas never takes off his ring.

So we need to get the gem,

but Thomas can't know

that the ring is missing.

I know just the person

who can do that.

Put both hands out

like this, Mr Trung.

Wow... Nice Rolex, huh?

Turn your hands over.

Now take this hundred

dollar bill and...

I'm gonna place it in your palm.

Squeeze tightly.

And now I'm going to

make this bill...

disappear.

There.

It's gone.

Check it carefully.

The $100 bill has become

a $1 bill, everyone.

I short-changed you $99.

But don't worry.

I have a gift for you.

Is this...

your Rolex watch?

Thank you, Mr Trung.

Thank you.

Dada.

What's up?

Are you still holding a grudge?

Of course. Why else

would I make you

return what you've

stolen in your pocket?

Rolex?

Popular brand, but

this one is mine.

"Happy birthday,

my darling Trung."

This must be worth $200,000.

Good taste for a thief.

"Thief"? Who do you think you are?

Phuc, this is Magic Jack.

Jack Magique.

"Super fake."

I haven't seen craftsmanship

this good in 2 years.

Tell me, who made these?

I'll make sure Mr Trung doesn't

press charges. Otherwise...

I'll haul you to jail,

and then deport you.

What's it gonna be,

"darling Jack"?

Now we need a super fake ring

to replace the one

on Thomas's finger

while we copy the

QR code in the gem.

Which means we'll need

a "super fake" master.

- Hello Uncle.

- Hi boys.

Hey Uncle Thuan, why do you

bring your lunch everyday?

We have rice in the cafeteria.

Well, it's a force

of habit for old...

- Balls.

- Huh?

Old people.

- Here you go.

- All done.

Thank you, boys.

Sorry, Uncle.

This is Special Agent Dada.

From the Department

of Cyber Crimes.

This is Phuc, her associate.

He knocked you up

and now you need a

discount on a wedding ring, right?

Sure, Uncle can help you out.

Not even close.

Police brutality.

Police brutality.

A De Beers Diamond.

From its colour and clarity,

it's worth about $47,000.

Uncle has a very

simple explanation...

Owwwww...

That hurts, Chief.

A false fingerprint?

This is...

less simple.

The truth is my name is Luhan.

- I am...

- An ethnic Chinese-Vietnamese.

Single father to a

10-year-old girl name Linh.

Arrested many times

for confidence scams.

Left in 2013 with his

daughter for China.

But recently returned to Vietnam.

What's wrong? Weren't you

welcomed by your motherland?

Luhan...

Before joining the Cyber Crimes

Unit, Dada was on the Vice Squad.

Where's little Linh?

In five days...

Thomas will throw a

going away party

at Khimera before

he leaves Vietnam.

This is the best

opportunity for us to

get the ring and the

bitcoin wallet.

Hi Linh.

Dad...

I'm taking these back to the

owner while you help me.

In order for Jack to get

close enough to the ring,

we need to get him an

invitation to the party.

Thomas already booked the pop

singer MQB to perform

at his party.

If something were to

happen to the singer

we could convince Thomas to hire

Magic Jack and his

sexy assistant...

Jack...

Magique.

If Thomas hires Jack Magique

and his sexy assistant...

then we'll have a chance to switch

the ring and get the QR code.

But Jack doesn't have

a sexy assistant.

Me?

No.

We'll take this one, too.

Pham True Phuong...

Flu season, right?

Oh. I'm sorry.

This flu is nasty.

In just 1 night...

I lost my voice...

Let me help you get up.

Getting Jack invited to the

party is a 2-step process.

Step 1: Get the singer to cancel

with a harmless fan photo...

MQB, can I take a photo with you?

Of course.

And a carefully placed,

germ-soaked handkerchief.

Thank you. I love you.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

That photo is no good.

Step 2: Introduce Thomas

to Jack's sexy assistant.

Two, Three...

Cheers.

Dada...

I have a new trick for you.

A two dollar bill... right?

Here's a shot glass.

One...

Two...

Three.

Luhan, can I get a light?

Now I'll use this tissue.

Wow...

Here, I want you to have this.

So that you'll never forget

the flame we once had.

Hold it.

Don't move your hand.

There's a micro-camera

in your pendant.

Remember to get Thomas's

hand this close.

I need a clean 3D image in

order to duplicate the ring.

Hello.

There's Le.

Like Ky, she's another mercenary

working for the Ghost.

Though bitcoin exchanges can

be done entirely online,

some people prefer

the feel of a card.

It's also a bitcoin wallet.

There's a QR code on the back.

Wow.

Why are women who

carry guns so hot?

Though I prefer cops to criminals.

That's my cue.

Bye.

Are you okay?

I think...

I drank too much.

You speak Korean?

No, just when I'm drunk.

I'm sorry.

Wait, wait.

Stay with us. Sit with us then.

Okay...

I like your diamonds.

I like yours better.

Can I see?

It's okay.

What a lovely gem.

Can I show you something?

Jack...

In the past, have you

and Dada ever...?

Worse...

I broke her trust.

That woman...

doesn't look like she has

anything that breaks.

I suppose not.

So you think...

that by helping her, you'll

atone for your mistakes?

The way I see it,

we're all here because she

has a hold over each of us.

Done.

Open your hand.

Wait.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

I just booked a show for

Magic Jack this Sunday.

Jack Magique.

Magique.

Magique...

Now all we need are

3,000 bitcoins.

What?

$750,000 US dollars.

If I had that kind of money

I wouldn't be here now.

Sure. Me neither.

So where are we gonna

get that money?

Dada knows a hacker...

This person has a lot of bitcoins.

Hey. Linh.

Troublemaker.

Are you okay? Were you burned?

Troublemaker.

"In that instant, Zyerasu turned

into a weird dust of half sand

and half metallic rust that

I had never seen before..."

"He died because he

wanted to extend

the life of the girl he loved..."

"When a god of death fails

to do his job, he dies."

I love that issue.

Why are you here?

I was hoping to talk with you...

about a sensitive matter.

What are you looking at?

Your issue of Death Note.

It's my favourite manga series.

Can't you go outside?

Choose your favourite

card from the deck.

Jack.

Jack of hearts.

Watch. I'm going to put

it here. Watch carefully.

Go down...

For you... Little Princess.

Linh...

What do you say?

I love you.

You're welcome.

Hey...

Sometimes I forget that

she's still a child.

I shouldn't have brought

her on this job.

This career.

I don't want this

kind of life for her.

What father would want this

life for his daughter?

So why don't we...

go steal some bitcoins?

And make our lives better.

How much is in Thomas's wallet?

40,000 bitcoins.

How much?

40,000.

$7.5 million US

40k.

$7.5 mil.

So...

You want me to give

you my bitcoins?

The fact is those 3,000 bitcoins

should be returned to the police.

I want you to give it to me

so that I can use it

to catch the Ghost.

This "Ghost"...

is the boss of the woman

who shot my brother?

Yes.

If you help me...

I promise you,

I will put the Ghost in jail.

I want you to assure me

that you will put

him in the grave.

I'm a cop...

not an assassin.

Truth is, the wallet that Bi stole

had more than just 3,000 bitcoins.

It was actually 25,000.

I'll give you back all of it

if you let me help.

I want to be there when

you catch the Ghost.

I can't.

I can't risk another

civilian's life.

I am not just another civilian.

Only a hacker can catch a hacker.

And you won't find

anyone better than me.

Are you in or out?

We all have 4 days

to memorise this

blueprint of the Khimera mansion.

Let's review each of our duties.

Vi is our tech geek.

Luhan is our forger

and go-between.

And Jack is the distraction.

- One more...

- Jack.

Jack and I will be

centre stage here.

Phuc.

Come up and share your plan.

Jack.

Can you give me back the card?

The card.

The card...

Watch.

Thank you.

This Sunday I will return 3,000

bitcoins to Thomas with this card.

Thomas is very cautious, so he

will deposit the money right away.

The first door that leads to the

server is protected by a PIN code,

which we will need to get.

Are you kidding me?

A PIN code?

Go ahead and set your PIN.

But don't let me see it.

Do you know how quickly

I can steal your PIN?

Linh...

The next time you use

your debit card,

remember to touch all of

the buttons on the keypad.

If not, then anyone with a thermal

camera can discover your PIN code.

At the press of one button...

your money is gone.

What you're all receiving

is a thermal image

that reveals the PIN

Phuc just entered.

The reddest is the last number.

Dada, what's your status?

Phuc will lead us to

the Ghost this Sunday.

When do you need back up?

Petey.

After the party.

So this is where

you've been hiding.

Piece of cake.

Really?

And this?

A laser-grid protected hallway.

Controlled by a retinal scan.

Retinal?

Does the person have to be alive?

The last door is locked

with a thumbprint scanner.

Once inside the server room,

he scans the ring to

access the mainframe.

Then he scans the card

and deposits the bitcoins.

Since the wallet

contains the ledger

we need to prosecute the Ghost,

we have to make a copy of it

in case the Ghost

tries to reduce his

sentence by deleting the wallet.

But, all of the computers in the

server room are hard-wired,

so they can't be remotely hacked.

That ring is the only key

to the bitcoin wallet.

You mean we need both the ring and

the QR code to open the wallet?

That's where Jack comes in.

MY LOVE

Go on.

Just one problem left.

How to make it past

this laser grid

without the use of Thomas's eyes.

Three. Two. One...

Within three seconds of the alarm,

you'll be surrounded

by armed guards.

Unless Luhan can

also make fake eyes,

we will be caught by the lasers.

The recessed ceiling lights.

Between the top of

the ceiling and the

lasers there's a

40-centimetre gap.

We fix wheels on an arm and a foot

and pull ourselves across the

hallway, avoiding the lasers.

A piece of cake for Linh.

No one climbs better

than she does.

However, she doesn't know

anything about bitcoins.

How can she steal them?

She doesn't need to know.

I can hack the mainframe remotely.

Linh just needs to

plug in a box for me.

Then we make sure that

Linh doesn't go in alone.

Linh will wear an earpiece.

Vi will walk her

through the steps.

Luhan, you and Phuc can stand

guard outside the door.

Thanks for accompanying me.

Today is the first time I've

been back since the shooting.

You like to play League

of Legends, too?

I love this character.

My avatar name is Zyerasu.

From Death Note?

I play Ashe...

Amane.

I bet you're a great player.

Bi and I play for a living.

So you play assist all day.

Join my team and see.

What is that?

A gratitude stone.

I don't know where he read it.

But...

You put it in your

pocket for good luck.

Whenever you're angry or

have had it with life,

you hold this in your hand.

You think about the

goodness in your life

and be grateful that

you're lucky to be alive.

He had a whole jar of these.

Does it work?

I can only remember... the

last thing that I said to him.

You dog.

It's not the last thing...

because Bi is still alive.

Thank you.

Oh...

Where is that ass-box?

What was that?

It's hacker humour.

The technical name is a

"backdoor orifice" box.

An orifice is a "hole."

"Backdoor" can also mean...

The purpose of the box

is to check for vulnerabilities

in your firewall.

Once discovered, you

patch it up so that

other hackers can't

use it as a backdoor.

But in this case, I will use

the box to get in the server.

Do you already have that box?

Nope.

But I can build one.

In the next 3 days...

we need to build a replica of the

hallway for Linh to practise,

observe the security rotation,

and find a way to

infiltrate the mansion.

Jack.

Give me a hand.

Oops. Sorry...

Jack.

Help.

While Vi follows the maid,

Luhan will make a

knock-off the ring.

Sorry...

Have you and Jack done it?

In order to see what

the guards see,

Vi will steal the feed

from the security cameras.

Once the cameras have been tapped,

Vi can monitor the feeds remotely.

When I shake Thomas's hand,

the ring will slide right off.

Watch me take it off,

and it pops back on.

Well done, Linh.

And lastly, we need a van.

Linh?

Dad.

Dad...

What?

What is it, honey?

Did Mum love you very much?

Before she passed away.

Of course.

That's how we got you.

Why do you ask?

What did you do... to

make her love you?

Honey...

You can't make someone

fall in love with you.

It just happens naturally.

How does it happen?

You just be yourself.

Whoever is meant for

you will see you.

All your beauty and talents.

Just be myself?

Yep.

Do you mean...

just continue to be a thief?

Honey...

I want you to enjoy your youth

and keep your innocence.

Understand?

I don't understand.

Understand now?

And now?

You're running out of time Dada.

As soon as I have the

ring and the wallet,

you can send the police

to arrest Thomas.

Watch your back. You

can't trust criminals.

Are you texting some guy up here?

Or just reporting

to your superior?

How long have you been

working undercover?

How did you know?

Whenever something happens,

you come back here.

It's been a few days since

I turned in my badge.

To create a cover, right?

Because the Dada I

know would never

resort to the help of criminals.

Not even one as handsome as me.

Always putting on a show.

Can't you ever drop the act?

It's part of my charm.

Isn't that why you

fell in love with me?

Crazy.

I loved you for your

passion for what you do.

Or maybe I was the crazy one.

I kept thinking you would

choose me over gems.

You knew that I was ready to go to

prison when the

police arrested me.

I never asked you to lie

to them to save me.

The truth is...

I am very sorry.

For making you choose

between me and your career.

I almost would've

believed you, if I hadn't

caught you stealing

a $200,000 watch.

After I catch the Ghost,

we'll call it even.

Here's some "will power" to

help you get better, kid.

And this is for the

moment you wake up.

Bi is really lucky.

To have a sister who

loves him so much.

Do you have any siblings?

I'm an only child.

As a kid,

all I knew was maths.

I played with numbers and games.

Didn't have any real friends.

You're the first person

I've met who wanted

to become an accountant

when he grew up.

Not that there's anything

wrong with that.

That's because maths is exact.

Numbers don't lie.

And me...

I don't trust anyone.

I know what you mean.

When I look at codes, I know

exactly what it wants to say.

But people...

They're difficult.

Is that why you lied to Dada?

You told her that Bi

stole 25,000 bitcoins.

But the truth is...

Bi actually stole 30,000.

Should've known that I

couldn't fool an accountant.

You might think that

I'm a bad person.

But I wanted to have

security for Bi.

What if something happens?

- They might pull the plug...

- Vi...

I don't think you're a bad person.

I think you're amazing.

I just wish we'd met under

different circumstances.

It's Dada.

What's in the van?

Nothing. Magic props.

Okay, Vi.

Hello.

Hey.

Wow.

You look delicious tonight.

Mr Nam, this is Magic Jack.

Jack Magique.

To us.

Tonight.

To a great show.

Excuse me. Business calls.

You got a lot of

nerve showing your

face here after

losing all my money.

Maybe this'll make it up for you.

How much?

3,000.

As promised.

Le here will help you with a

drink while I verify the funds.

- Is Thomas inside the hallway?

- No.

But he's about to

give me his passcode.

9-8-5-9-6-6-4

Y-U-L...

Yulyong.

Listen up.

We'll be blind for the

2 minutes he's inside.

Vi, have you replicated

Thomas's thumbprint?

It's printing as I scan.

Good. Because Vi is monitoring

the security feeds,

Vi will guide everyone once

Thomas comes back out.

Game on.

Thomas is done. He's coming

down to the party, Dada.

Before you leave the server room,

remember to unplug this box

and plug everything

back the way it was...

So that no one will

know we were there.

What a pro.

Good evening. Is everyone

having a good time?

Yes.

This is my lovely

assistant, Miss Dada.

Ladies and gentleman,

we would like to

invite our handsome

host to the stage...

Mr Thomas Nam.

Let's give him a big hand.

Welcome on stage, Mr Thomas Nam.

Now Thomas will confirm that

this is indeed a real ice pick.

I would like you to

inspect this ice

pick, that it is a real ice pick.

Over here?

Yes.

It is real.

I want you to hide this ice pick

under any one of these five bags

and mix it around so I

don't know where it is.

Now Thomas will hide the ice

pick under one of these bags

and shuffle them so that I

won't know where it is.

Let me know you're ready, Thomas.

Ready.

Now I want you to choose a bag.

This one? Are you sure?

I'm sorry, I know you weren't

expecting that, but...

I got lucky.

Ladies and gentleman...

The ice pick is under

the last remaining bag.

Jack, Dada, keep Thomas on stage.

Thank you very much. Wonderful.

Luhan is not ready yet.

Thomas. We still

need you on stage.

Luhan, Luhan, can you hear me?

- Please?

- Let's give him a hand.

Check your com, Luhan.

Okay, okay, I'm staying.

He's just standing there

in front of the elevator.

What's he doing?

I have no idea.

Try hard.

Honey.

No matter what happens next,

I just want you to know.

I'm always proud of you.

Understand?

Yes... Dad.

Luhan here. I'm upstairs now.

Good. Phuc get ready.

Please record a voice

message on your phone

to prove that it is your phone.

Linh keep still.

Good evening.

Thank you everyone for coming.

My name is Thomas Nam.

Very good.

Please put it in the bag.

Thank you very much.

Go Phuc.

I will make his phone disappear.

Sorry...

This is where we make

your phone disappear.

- So sorry...

- What the...?

Hey. Is this supposed to happen?

Linh get ready.

- You want something?

- Go.

You wanna start something?

No, I just want to dry you off.

Oh...

What the hell?

To clean you off.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

That was my phone.

Leave it.

Thank you.

This is completely

part of the trick.

Ladies and gentleman, this

is all part of the show.

Not so good...

Linh, I need eyes in the hallway.

Well done. We have an

image inside the hallway.

But I did say I'm gonna

make your phone disappear.

Where is my phone?

Well done.

You're halfway there.

Keep it up, honey. You can do it.

Luhan, get the ring

to Jack already.

Actually, can you hear that?

Come, come, come.

I know that you're tired, Linh,

but I'm right here with you.

Yes.

Everyone...

Anyone who has just

received a voice message...

lift your phone and

play it for us to hear.

Wait, wait. Put your phones away.

Can you hear that?

Come on, you're almost there.

Come on.

Come on...

Yeah. You made it.

Is this your phone?

Yes, that's my phone.

Thomas's phone. Everyone...

Why haven't you come down?

The skate is stuck.

Linh tripped the laser.

She needs help in there.

Actually, come over here.

Linh, the guard is coming in.

Dad, help me.

Close your eyes, close your eyes.

Dada...

Freeze.

On my way, hone.

What are you doing, kid?

Keep your backs

against one another.

Take a step forward

slowly, slowly.

Slowly. Breathe deeply.

Calmly.

Vi, what about the bitcoin wallet?

Leave it. Our cover is blown.

No, there's still a way.

I have another idea.

Remove his jacket.

Give me the box.

And the chip, too.

They're almost there. Get out.

Thomas, I'm gonna

slowly help you up.

Just relax, slowly.

Come up with me, slowly lift.

Open your eyes. Check it out.

This girl was trying to break in.

I'm taking her downstairs for

questioning. You two stand guard.

Quiet.

If you scream and

disturb my boss's

party, I will shoot you in head.

No crying.

What are you looking at?

Guard this post.

Go on.

Move.

No crying.

Jack, on Vi's cue,

we'll need a diversion

to lure the guards

away from their post.

I want you to help me.

With two hands, lower her.

Hands there. Slowly, slowly.

Vi, talk me through this.

You need to find the

mainframe and scan the ring.

Vi.

- I don't see a computer anywhere.

- It has to be there.

Look for a keyboard

or a QR code scanner.

See anything?

When you're ready,

remove your hands.

Trust me. Just believe.

Wow.

How do you do this?

It gets better, watch.

Vi... What do I do next?

On the side of the laptop, you

will see an Ethernet cable.

Unplug that cable and plug it

into the backdoor orifice box.

Then plug the cable from the

box back into the laptop.

Scan the card to

access the wallet.

Now relax while I save a copy of

the wallet to my own computer.

Phuc, do you hear an echo?

Yes. Constantly.

Is this better?

Yes.

Jack, I'm done.

Stir it up.

Phuc, remember to

unplug the backdoor box

and plug the Ethernet

cable back in the laptop.

The guards are right outside,

so wait for my signal.

Get set.

Go.

- Impressive.

- Thank you.

Yeah, Vi.

Phuc.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

Magic Jack, everybody.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Magic Jack.

Magic Jack.

Magique.

Jack MAGiQUE.

Man, I gotta pee.

Give me the USB.

$7.5 million.

42,000 bit coins.

Good, you're all awake.

Did you enjoy the

party last night?

In case you're wondering why

you're in this position...

there are two simple reasons:

One, because you

have stolen from me.

Two, because it gets the

blood flowing to your head.

The Ghost.

Thomas can speak Vietnamese?

Isn't technology great?

I type in English

on my computer...

and it speaks in any

language I want.

But you are not the ones

I want to speak with.

Vi, you are a very talented thief.

You have stolen from me

not just once, but twice.

You're the thief.

You're wrong.

Where I come from, they say

one is not a thief

unless caught stealing.

Then you're a murderer.

Wrong again, if you're

talking about your brother.

I haven't killed anyone.

That's what mercenaries are for.

Phuc, you should know how

I deal with greedy pigs.

Phuc.

Did that hurt?

Serves you right.

You brought thieves into my home.

Where are my bitcoins?

You have the USB.

Take it.

That's only the 40,000

bitcoins you just stole.

I'm talking about the 30,000

that your brother stole.

It's like they say: "No

honour among thieves."

I'll make it simple for you.

Each time you refuse

to tell me the

password for your bitcoin wallet,

I will gut one of your friends.

What's the password?

No.

Kill him.

Phuc.

Honey.

Don't look.

Honey, look away.

Look at me, honey.

Just look at Daddy, honey.

Let's try again.

- Linh.

- Dad.

- Let her go.

- Dad.

- Linh.

- Tell him, Vi.

Want this to stop?

What is the password?

Stop it.

Stop.

What's the password?

Dad.

I'll tell.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

Dad...

Mum.

Jack.

Dad?

Dada.

Honey...

What were you thinking?

You said that if I let you work

undercover you would

catch the Ghost.

But as a result, your initial

suspect is now dead,

and you get arrested

like a common criminal.

My whole career is

now in jeopardy.

This wasn't Dada's fault.

- It was the Ghost...

- Stay out of this.

This business doesn't concern you.

But who gave you permission

to bring him here?

Are you two back together?

I told you that you

shouldn't have come.

You are a very bad

influence on my daughter.

Yes.

I know that I was wrong, sir.

But...

Dada is a good person,

and a great cop.

That's your influence.

She is an amazing woman.

And me... I'm an idiot

for disappointing her.

That's my fault.

I have to bear it.

But I beg you...

Don't punish Dada

for what happened.

Wait a minute.

You are an idiot.

But you need to understand.

I am not the one punishing Dada.

Dada.

I'm very sorry.

I need to reassign this

case to someone else.

Come in.

When Bi and I were little,

he was so scared of ghosts...

He wouldn't take a

shower unless I stood

guard on the other

side of the door.

He would always call out to

ask, "Vi, are you still there?"

If I didn't answer, he'd run out

stark naked and tell our mother.

Then I'd get spanked.

That's why I have to

constantly remind him

that I'm here.

I'm always here.

You...

You're not alone.

I'm sorry.

I've disappointed everyone.

Especially Phuc.

This was my responsibility.

I'm the one who failed you.

Hey...

No one failed.

The job was to get the

wallet and the ring.

We did both of those things.

Why can't we just

go arrest Thomas?

Because we don't have the wallet.

Actually, Jack is right.

Even though the Ghost took

everything in the wallet,

The wallet itself still contains

a history of transactions.

I still have a backup copy of

the QR and wallet on my laptop.

Can we get to it?

Here, this is Thomas's wallet.

- Done? That means we can go...

- Wait, wait.

I was so preoccupied with

copying Thomas's wallet...

that I didn't pay

attention to the records.

These are the 3,000 bitcoins

I returned to Thomas.

Someone has filled the

comment section with coding.

Do you know what it's for?

It's a virus.

The Crypt.

That's right.

But look, there's another virus

piggybacking on the Crypt.

It targets the restore function.

What does that mean?

Thomas is not the Ghost.

Wait.

This is not what you think.

I think you need a laptop

for online shopping.

Put it back where it was.

I didn't see anything.

We need to get to Khimera now.

Their system is being hacked.

Khanh...

I should have you

arrested, Miss Dada.

Actually, it's Special Agent Dada.

I'm sorry that we thought

you were the Ghost.

We suspect that your

company's server

has been the target of an attack.

Someone has planted the

Crypt in your mainframe.

We are restoring our

server right now.

No, you need to stop your restore.

The Crypt is just a decoy.

The real virus kicks in when

the restore is complete.

The file was corrupted,

so I couldn't

tell what kind of virus it was.

This shouldn't be here.

The Ghost used us to

hack into your system.

He planted the virus that would

instal when you

restored your system.

Now, let's see what you do.

I was wrong.

It's not a virus.

It's a rootkit.

What is a "rut kick"?

It's a virus that

allows the hacker...

to control your computer

without you knowing.

Like someone is living in your

home without you knowing it.

If Thomas had completed

the restore,

The Ghost would have been

able to access Khimera...

and all the bank

accounts it supports.

Or he could crash the

banking system in

order to raise the

price of bitcoins.

Officer, arrest these two for

international espionage.

Hold on, Khanh.

Do I have to call your superior?

Hold on.

Hold on.

Wait.

You're arresting the wrong people.

The Ghost did this.

Yes, and you helped him.

No. Thomas, please.

Khanh, please.

50,000 dollars.

Gotcha, Ghost.

Target confirmed.

Copy.

It's a pleasure doing

business with you.

Miss...

Call me Eve.

Adam.

That's a lot of money, Adam.

What do you plan to do with it?

Depends.

What are you doing for dinner?

I never mix business

with pleasure.

The way I see it, our

business is done.

What's your pleasure?

Excuse me, sir.

The Ambassador Room.

Charge to the room?

Thank you, sir.

To a night of magic.

So... this is what

you meant by magic.

Thank you. Thank you so

much, and good evening.

Before I start the show tonight,

I see a very familiar face.

Can we get a spotlight on the

gentleman in the back there...

next to the lovely lady?

Sir, could you please stand up?

You sir, please,

could you stand up?

Round of applause for the

gentleman, everybody.

Now you may not realise this,

but I've already performed

my first magic trick.

And that's making a man rise...

from the dead.

Round of applause for

Phuc, everybody.

You may sit down, sir.

You can sit down now, sir.

Now who's ready for a great show?

Ma'am, please. Join me on stage.

Sorry I put you on the spot.

What do you want.

Your fly is open.

Out of all the restaurants in the

world, I had to

bump into you here.

What are you and Eve up to?

The last time I saw you,

your guts were on a pig tray.

The one who should be

upset is me, not you.

When Thomas had us arrested,

Dada made a deal to

deport us instead.

Better than jail time.

Deportation?

So why here?

It's the only place

that would hire me.

I'm sorry.

For everything.

I get it.

No honour among thieves.

But you should know.

Vi is also in Taipei.

She had to face some

difficult choices.

She had to pull the plug on

Bi before she was deported.

If you want to apologise to her.

You owe her a lot.

Hold on.

Where's my wallet?

Force of habit.

Why are you here?

To learn about anthropology.

It was the only job I

could find in Taiwan.

From mining bitcoins

to digging in dirt.

I have nothing to say to you.

Why did you agree to meet me?

You're right.

I shouldn't have met you.

Vi...

Have dinner with me.

Let me explain everything.

I'm staying at the Grand.

Under the name "Ezreal"?

Only you know me so well.

Maybe not.

Don't call me any more.

Why are you here?

How did you know it was me?

I've never met such an

ineffective gardener.

Look. The grass is all dead.

Honestly, what are you doing here?

Gardening. What else?

You still insist?

That was mean, man.

We both need our hands

to make a living.

I'm useless to you dead.

Kill me...

You'll still be hunted for

the rest of your life.

Just pay me 2,000 bitcoins.

I'll tell you what

Dada has planned.

You dare blackmail me?

Consider it...

a scholarship for

Linh's education.

How do I know if you're

telling the truth?

Huh?

I know that you're

hiding in Taiwan

because Taiwan is an Asian country

that doesn't work with Interpol.

Jack met with you.

He told you that he got

deported from Vietnam.

Vi is avoiding you.

You know all this because you've

been following me all week.

I know what's going

to happen tonight.

How valuable is that?

Don't know yet.

You're too forthcoming.

Think of it as a father wanting a

better future for his daughter.

Where's Linh now?

In your room.

Planting microphones

and video cameras.

She's still angry at you.

Leaving her alone

in your apartment,

there's no telling

what will happen.

She can really hold a grudge.

What?

Just getting my mobile.

Linh has a message for you.

Hello Phuc. I miss you.

How's this?

You transfer 1,000 bitcoins into

my wallet as a sign of good faith.

After you get back to your hotel,

I'll call you and

tell you everything.

Fine.

Consider this my gift

to help you reform.

Jack didn't tell the whole truth.

When he told you that Dada

was working with Interpol.

What he left out was...

that we would be

helping Dada capture

you and bring you back to Vietnam.

Since Interpol has

no agents in Taiwan,

they can only

publicise your crimes

and let the local

police arrest you.

What the hell?

Local police have

been tipped off...

to the location of Interpol's

most wanted hacker

who calls himself "The Ghost."

Enough games.

You're very good at them.

What's Dada's plan?

Vi will call you.

She'll make a date with

you at the Breeze pub.

Khanh and Dada will be there

waiting to handcuff you.

Forget about Vi.

Get to the airport as

quickly as possible

before the local police

get wind of the news...

and shut the ports.

Hello.

It's me.

I've decided to give you

a chance to explain.

Can you pick me up?

Everything happened

as you said it would.

Good. Transfer me

the bitcoins, and

you'll never see

Linh and me again.

Not yet. I still need

you to do one last

thing before Linh gets

her tuition money.

Sorry, gorgeous. You've

got the wrong car.

I'm waiting for my friend, Vi.

Sweetie, I can be anyone you want.

There's Dada.

Can we go faster?

Yes, sir.

You can slow down a little.

This isn't the Breeze Lounge.

This place is more

private and romantic.

But mobile phones aren't allowed.

Have you ever started something...

that you didn't

know how to finish?

I didn't know how to

stop being the Ghost.

After I met you,

I knew the Ghost had to end.

But the only way out...

was to see the plan through.

In order for the

Ghost to disappear,

Phuc had to die.

I'm sorry that I had to use you.

I hope you understand now why I

had to do what I had to do...

I understand.

But don't think I'll forgive you.

You won't shoot me.

Vi.

Run away with me.

I've prepared enough gasoline

for us to go to Fuzhou.

From there, we can go anywhere

in the world you choose.

I have lots of bitcoins.

We can live well our whole lives.

Can you hear yourself?

You're crazy if you

think I'd go anywhere

with you after

everything you've done.

And what is that? That I

tried to hack into Khimera?

Or tried to raise the

price of bitcoins?

The only reason why I didn't

succeed is because of you.

Because you understand me.

It's why you were able to stop me.

People like you and

me are not meant

for this world of rules and laws.

I knew this when I first met you.

You knew it too

when you kissed me.

We were meant for each other.

Shut up.

Because of you, Bi

is in the hospital.

If you want someone

to blame for Bi's

injury, then go ahead and shoot.

After that, shoot yourself.

Because you were the one

that pulled the trigger.

Bi's accident happened

so that we could meet.

In our world,

systems crash so that another

generation can rise

and be stronger.

I promise you.

After we escape,

I will come back for Bi.

After that, we will nurse Bi

together, until the

day he wakes up.

Don't do it, Vi.

Your job is done.

Let the police take it from here.

We will make him pay for

all that he has done.

Phuc.

There's no use running,

Phuc. You're surrounded.

Careful. Target approaching.

Stop. Or we will continue to fire.

Last chance, Phuc.

Do you trust me?

Vi.

Vi...

Vi.

To the hospital, sir?

I have a safe house that

Dada doesn't know about.

I can take care of

your wound there.

Does this mean that

you've forgiven me?

Electricity is tapped

from the neighbours.

No hard phone line.

No cell signal.

No Wifi.

If you get hungry...

Eat.

Drink.

Fun.

Welcome to life off the grid.

Since you brought it up.

How did Dada track us out to sea?

The falling debris...

Probably broke the tracker.

If not...

Dada and the local police would've

broken down that door by now.

What now?

We stay here. Eat noodles.

Drink energy drinks...

And get wasted?

First...

we keep you from dying.

Are you ready?

One...

Promise me...

If anything should happen,

you have to go get Bi.

I promise.

Is that all?

No.

If you really want to

get away from all this,

then you have to

give up everything.

No more bitcoins.

No Crypt.

No hacking.

Can I at least jailbreak a phone?

Only on new models.

Before I pass out...

let me see your phone.

Here's 3,000 bitcoins.

I don't want your money.

I believe you.

But because your face

is not on newspapers,

tomorrow, I want

you to go exchange

enough bitcoins for

us to start over.

My driver, Willy, can

drop us off at the dock.

We can go to Fuzhou.

Your fever is burning.

Here...

Two pills.

One antibiotic.

And one anaesthetic.

Vi.

Welcome home.

Hello Phuc.

Try not to fall.

Don't worry Linh.

He is the Ghost. He can just fly.

I think Linh is still angry at

you. She might not let you down.

Let me ask you for the last time.

Give me another chance?

If the answer is "Yes,"

then press the green button.

Let's call it even.

Let's see if I've got

everything straight.

Hoping to get out from

under the mafia's debt,

Thomas hired you to help

him create the Crypt.

But then you got greedy and

wanted control of Khimera.

You planted a program

to hack Khimera

inside the bitcoin

exchange in the hotel.

You didn't expect us

to come crashing in.

But the real trouble started...

when Bi hacked your damaged

wallet and stole 30,000 bitcoins.

And you got yourself

arrested and fingerprinted,

which would have made you

a registered criminal.

When you realised that we

didn't know your true identity,

you came up with a new

plan to get everything.

Your 30,000 bitcoins,

Thomas's 40,000 bitcoins,

and control of Khimera.

You purposefully left Vi's

box in the room as a decoy,

and wiped off your fingerprints.

So that when Thomas

discovered the box,

he would arrest Vi and me

and restore the

server from a backup,

thereby installing the

rootkit that allowed

you to control the

Khimera server remotely.

Well done, Chief.

You really had me believing that

Interpol had tracked me to Taipei.

Just a matter of

proper motivation,

perfect timing.

And pretty distractions.

Vi followed your trail

on League of Legends

once we learned of

your IP address.

Thomas was the one who

gave it to you, right?

Thomas made us a deal.

If we could capture

you with it, then he

would drop the espionage

charges against us.

You've caught me already.

Why do you still look...

upset?

You also wiped your phone clean of

any proof that you are the Ghost.

How did you manage to get

the sentence reduced

from life in prison to 8 months?

When you left me hanging up there,

I had enough time to

do one quick thing.

It has always been about

the same thing, Agent.

Evidence.

You wiped out your servers to

erase all trace of the Crypt.

You got everything you wanted.

So why are you so sad?

Did you miss your friends?

Jack opened the Magique Academy

for young orphans like himself.

He teaches them magic

instead of stealing.

All of his students

share his stage name...

Magique.

Here is a postcard from Luhan.

Saint Nicholas...

The patron saint of

repentant thieves.

Luhan gave up stealing to be

a better example for Linh.

He got a new job in England

and enrolled Linh

in a proper school.

Vi is the only one I

haven't heard from.

In the end, I have to thank

her, for helping me catch you.

I also promise you that

after I get out of here,

I will also disappear.

You will never get out of here.

I swear it.

Hey, Chief.

Don't forget this.

- Welcome back, Bi.

- Come visit us.

When will you come to Vietnam?
