a parking ticket.

Who is the d*ckhead now, huh?

The South African government owns

this house. This is South African soil.

Now get out of here.

All of you.

Don't do it.

Don't do it or l'll make you

eat this f***ing thing.

Kaffir.

Could you step out of the car, please?

Put them away. l'm sorry.

Sorry. Are you okay?

Don't open that.

That is a diplomatic pouch...

...protected under Article 27

of the Vienna Convention.

ls he serious with this stuff?

These are police officers, Miss

Van den Haas. They were just leaving.

She is a consulate secretary.

Give her back the briefcase.

Give it to her.

l'm sorry, Miss Consulate Secretary.

Don't talk to them! Come here.

He's a nice guy.

What's he paying you an hour?

Want to increase your pay?

Better hours?

l'd start getting used

to that sort of view.

lt's the Triangle Trade again.

Don't you know American history?

Molasses to rum to slaves.

Now drugs to dollars to Krugerrands.

l got a dead guy with a surfboard

where his face used to be...

...and the State Department

breathing down our throats.

l'll have to make a formal apology

to the South African consulate.

Apologize? He's a sack of sh*t!

He's a crook.

lt doesn't matter. He's a diplomat.

He has immunity. We can't touch him,

arrest him, prosecute him.

-Does that spell it out for you?

-Yes, sir.

-Who the hell is this guy?

-Leo Getz. Nice to meet you.

You took a civilian on a bust.

One you're supposed to be protecting!

He's alive, isn't he?

l signed a waiver.

Besides, l usually wait in the car.

Usually?

They're very adamant about that.

-l don't give a f***.

-They're good cops!

They're the best.

One time, a guy was waiving a gun--!

What did he say?

What did he say?

-''l don't give a f***.''

-What's that mean?

lt's his mantra. Why is everyone

parked on my desk? Up!

lt's a rubber plant!

lt looks to be about a week's supply.

Go spit.

l forgot. You're too old for that sh*t.

lf you don't like it,

you can exchange it.

One moment, Miss Van den Haas.

l hope you understood

what happened here today.

l'd rather not jump

to any wrong conclusions.

Why don't you explain it to me?

The policies of our government

are not popular here in America.

The police department here

is overrun with blacks.

They have badges and guns

and they hate us.

Our consulate, its staff...

...and particularly myself will always

be targets for their harassment.

Things are getting out of hand.

There are too many losses. We'll

move the cash in one large shipment.

We'll need more than a suitcase.

l'll worry about that.

You worry about the police.

Your warning did not work.

-Let's go, Leo!

-l'm coming.

Come on! Move!
