Blood Diamond
Dia.
English boys don't go
Teacher say this country
was founded as a utopia.
Do you know
what that word means, Papa?
Well, she says someday
when the war is over...
...our world will be a paradise.
And all this you learn in one day?
And math and science.
This is too much learning. Tomorrow,
you will stay home and mend the nets, yes?
No, Papa.
What? So now you want
- Stay.
- Papa.
- Stay!
- Papa!
Jassie!
Solomon.
Come, come, come.
Pick it up. Quick.
- Papa! Papa!
- Jassie.
- Dia, run!
- Papa!
- Papa! Papa!
- Dia, run!
Papa!
Bring forward the next one. Bastard.

- Long sleeve or short sleeve?
- No.
Young man. You must understand.
The government wants you to vote, okay?
They gonna tell you say,
"The future is in your hands."
We now the future.
So we take your hands.
- No.
- No more hands, no more voting.
Chop him.
Spread the word.
The Revolutionary United Front is coming.
- RUF!
- RUF! RUF!
Bring forward the next one.
Bring him forward. Bring him forward.
- Short sleeve!
- Chop him.
Hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait.
Not this one. Look at him.
- Put him in the truck.
- Let's go.
Bring him to the mines.
He can work. He can work.
Move, move, move.
Next one, next one, next one.
Throughout the history of Africa...
...whenever a substance
of value is found...
...the locals die
in great number and in misery.
Now, this was true of ivory,
rubber, gold and oil.
It is now true of diamonds.
According to a devastating report
by Global Witness...
...these stones are being used
to purchase arms and finance civil war.
We must act to prohibit...
...the direct or indirect import
of all rough diamonds from conflict zones.
May I remind you...
...that the U.S. is responsible for two-thirds
of all diamond purchases worldwide...
...and I don't anticipate
that demand diminishing.
We must remember
that these stones...
...comprise only a small percentage
of the legitimate diamond industry...
...whose trade is crucial to the economies
of many emerging nations.
The Freetown government
...have raped your land
to feed their greed.
RUF have freed you.
- No more slave and master here.
- It's true.
Current estimates are that conflict stones
account for only 15 percent of the market.
But in a multi-billion-dollar-a-year
industry...
...that means hundreds of millions
of dollars are available...
...for weapons in these conflict zones.
RUF is fighting for the people!
RUF is fighting for Sierra Leone!
Any bastard think he would joke
with me diamond, I go cut he throat.
Stop!
And we are joined today
by members of that diamond industry...
...who wholeheartedly
endorse your proposal.
I hope you join me
in applauding their presence here.
Mr. Van De Kaap and Mr. Simmons.
Give it to me.
Don't worry. We'll be fine, huh?
Listen. You take off
as soon as I'm out the door.
You don't land
until I raise you on the sat phone.
You be careful, Danny.
Don't worry. They want these guns
too much to do anything stupid.
Where is Commander Zero?
I am Captain Rambo.
Right. Right, I've seen your films, huh?
I'm looking for Commander Zero, huh?
He's inside. You talk to me.
You are here to help us
in our struggle against the government.
I'm here to do business
with Commander Zero, all right?
All right.
You are the man, huh?
You are the man.
Here, huh?
Hey. I'm talking to you! Stop!
- Commander Zero.
- Hey.
- I go kill you, eh?
- It's fine, huh? It's fine.
