Sly 5: Thieves Forever Part 2
In Paris, Bentley has uncovered a clue about the theft at their hideout. Having discovered a hair on the carpet, he has tracked it through Interpol to the notorious Lapitz family, famous throughout history for their ability to seemingly walk through walls in order to commit crimes. Murray has disappeared, and Bentley and the gang set out to find him as they are certain to need his help.
Meanwhile, Sly and Wolfgang arrive in 17th century Caribbean. Whilst setting up the safehouse in overturned wreckage, Sly asks Wolfgang why he is helping his family, suspicious of his true nature. Wolfgang tells him that he knew his father, and Sly is suspicious. He doesn't get the chance to enquire further, however, as the wreckage is suddenly overrun with mercenaries, in combat armour. Sly and Wolfgang fight them, but they are captured after a long fight. Sly is taken to a dungeon in the town, and he begins to plot his escape. However, upon discovering that the cell door is rigged with futuristic tech, he is forced to wait for help, which he despises. He is dragged out, along with Wolfgang, for inspection by a short beaver in a navy uniform calling himself Sir Hiram III. He calls Sly pirate scum, and takes him for questioning regarding his elusive "sister", Henrietta. However during questioning the back wall is blown apart and Henrietta breaks through, and tells Sly to get out while he can. She engages Hiram in a swordfight, but when his guards come running, she is forced to retreat. The pair escapes to a back alley street building, and Henrietta tells Sly that he is an idiot for being caught, and that she is the last pirate outlaw of the time to run free. She claims she had come to try to bust out her partner, Horace Lefwee (ancestor of Captain Lefwee), but through bad planning got the wrong room. Sly realizes that time has been altered so piracy ended decades too early.
Back in present day Paris, The Cooper Gang catch up to Murray, who has joined a travelling circus to try to earn money. The ringmaster (a secret slave trader), is now keeping Murray hostage, and Bentley concocts a plan to bust him out. Under the cover of nightfall, Panda King and Dimitri infiltrate the circus and cut the ties on the elephant cages, causing a rampage similar to the India mission. In the confusion, Bentley is able to bug the ringmaster, a Hyena named Jeckles. However Murray still remains imprisoned, in the meantime.
In the 17th century, Sly considers trying to contact the Cooper Gang in the present day, as he misses them. He writes on a scroll of parchment, and sets it out to sea in a bottle. Back at the safehouse, Sly tries to convince Henrietta to work with him on a formulated plan, and she reluctantly agrees to help him wipe out Hiram's fleets docked in the harbour. They are naval battalions, so this is further proof that they are out of time. During the heist, Wolfgang returns and helps bomb the dreadnought. Sly is suspicious of how he escaped, and Wolfgang simply replies, "I'm from the future". The fleet destroyed, Hiram's military strength and hold over the area is significantly weakened. Henrietta wants to break her pirate associates out of prison, and gives Sly her father's Cannonball costume, an altered suit of armour with a cannon in the chest, to use. Using the cannon to split open weaker sections of the prison, Sly and Henrietta successfully release the prisoners, including Horace. Wolfgang tells Sly privately that he suspects Horace is a traitor, and Sly tells him that he can't even trust him and his word means nothing. Wolfgang is saddened, and is about to speak when Henrietta & Horace interrupt with their new plan of destroying Hiram's shipyard, where he is constructing a mystery item.
Meanwhile in the circus, Bentley figures that he can bust Murray out during that nights "performance". He calls the Guru to manipulate the performing monkeys into breaking the swing, and so during Murrays' performance, he misses the target and smashes through the flooring. There he is met by the Pandas King who fights off Jeckles' guards and makes their escape. Outraged, Jeckles takes centre stage and demands that the intruders be known to him. Bentley, who is angered by his keeping of Murray, engages him in a fight, and despite lack of physical strength, emerges triumphant using his bombs and sleep darts. Jeckles is arrested by Interpol and sent down for life. Murray returns with the team who head off to Chile to confront the thief, most likely the youngest Lapitz family member, Leo.
During the operation in the Caribbean, Horace Lefwee turns on Henrietta, revealing he is a traitor, and tells her of the pleasure he took from robbing her of her status as the best pirate on the seven seas, and taking the loot for himself. Henrietta tells him she is ashamed to call him a pirate and the two swordfight on a banister. Upon reaching Hiram's panic room, Wolfgang is caught in a trap and Hiram appears from behind a desk with a RPG. He tells Sly that he grew up in modern day in Bloodbath Bay, and was bullied relentlessly by the pirate kids for enjoying a more refined seafaring field; the Navy. Upon meeting a mysterious "benefactor", he was given the opportunity to wipe out piracy at its heyday, and a fleet to do so with. He shows Sly a machine part that he has been constructing, and Sly is horrified to see that it is a huge steel wing. Hiram tells Sly if he can beat him in a game of Battleships, he can take Wolfgang and his empire. If he loses, however, he must admit to being fired out of a torpedo hatch. Sly accepts the challenge, and the two play best out of three. Meanwhile, Henrietta has defeated Lefwee, and cuts off his leg, but not before he shot her in the eye. Left on the floor, writhing in pain, Henrietta stumbled half-blindly towards the control room. Sly beats Hiram, and taking defeat badly, he pulls his RPG on Sly. Before he can fire it however, he is shot by Henrietta, and is incapacitated. Sly cuts down Wolfgang and the three sabotage the technology, ensuring piracy lives on. However when Sly looks for the wing, he is unable to find it. Henrietta thanks Sly for his help, calling him a true pirate, and she also realizes he is a Cooper, although the time-travel concept confuses her. She parts with him to find an eye patch, and her infamous legacy continues.
Sly confronts Wolfgang about his knowledge of his father, and Wolfgang tells Sly that he was best friends with his father, having travelled back in time to meet the famous coopers. He tells Sly that his father gave him a special task, but cannot tell Sly what it is. Frustrated, Sly still is unsure of Wolfgang's intentions, but begins to trust him a little. Wolfgang tells Sly that he believes that Otto van Cooper, his German mechanic ancestor is being targeted, and the two travel back to help him.
After the pair's departure, high above in the crow's nest, a golden shape sits ominously surveying the town square, where Henrietta is being celebrated by the pirate inhabitants. It turns to receive a long, metallic wing from a shadowy figure standing behind it, and, pleased with it, a pair of yellow eyes flicker with apprehension. "Yes" it said in a cold, calculating voice. "This will do… nicely".
