I'm talking to you, you hear me?

Where the diamond? The pink one.

- You're mad. I do not know you.

Liar! I saw it with my own eyes.

This big. Biggest I have ever seen.

My brothers, I go give $1000...

out of this bastard.

You the craze! You the craze!

You have a name!

You have a family!

And I'll catch them!

And I'll find them!

Please tell me you brought me

cigarettes, bru, please.

I just have to tell you, Danny.

The colonel's not going to be happy

about you losing the diamonds.

Forget the colonel.

There's a fisherman in there, all right?

He might've found a pink. Big one.

What about the colonel?

He'll want that stone.

Screw the colonel.

I'll contact our friends in London.

If this stone is as big as I think,

we're gonna need a real buyer, all right?

What? What?

London wants nothing more

to do with you.

"Arrest in Sierra Leone of Daniel Archer,

former mercenary and smuggler..."

"Retains close ties

to Van De Kaap diamond cartel.

Sources say they deny

any affiliation whatso--"

F***ing hell.

Listen, his name

is Solomon Vandy, all right?

Van De Kaap is gonna want that stone,

whatever they say. You just get him out.

Get him out.

Yeah, can you tell Mr. Simmons

that Danny Archer called. Right.

Archer. A-R-C-H-E-R.

Afternoon, darling, huh?

Big white man all alone.

That is no fine.

- I'm safe, huh? No HIV.

- Yeah, yeah. I've heard that one before.

Archer, I know where to get

nice baby diamond just for you.

- Not now, next time.

- Come on, Archer.

I said not now, next time. Bugger off.
