1- So you’re a fisherman, huh?
2
– What do you catch mostly? -Fish.
3
Come on.
4
– Hello. -Back away from the fence.
5
Listen, I’m from the Cape Herald, all right?
6
My wallet, my credentials, everything got left in Freetown.
7
We barely got out with our lives. Can we just get through?
8
Back away from the fence.
9
But you are not a journalist.
10
I’m trying to get us to Kono.
11
– Do you understand that, huh? -Getting B-roll. Wait.
12
Listen, I’m coming back. I’m coming back just now.
13
How’s it, my bru? Have you got an extra smoke?
14
– Here. -Oh, cheers.
15
I’m looking for someone, an American by the name of Maddy Bowen.
16
– If you saw her, you would not forget it. -Yeah, I know her.
17
– Is it? -Yeah.
18
Can you tell her Danny Archer’s looking for her? I’ve got the story she wants.
19
Okay, but I’m going out for a bit. If I see her before, I’ll tell her.
20
Magic. Listen, we’ll be right down the road, huh?
21
– Sweet. Cheers, bru. -Cheers.
22
It is as I said. You will say anything.
23
– You don’t mind waiting? -No worries.
24
– Thank you so much. I’ll just be a sec. -All right, Maddy.
25
Hi.
26
You got out.
27
Yes. Hello again.
28
– This is Solomon Vandy. -Hi.
29
– Hello. -Nice to meet you.
30
So I’m on deadline. I’ve been waiting four hours to use the phone.
31
– I’ve got someone holding my place in line. -I understand. Come with me, huh?
32
All right. Here it is.
33
– There’s a company called Tiara Diamonds. -Right?
34
They get the stones that I smuggle into Liberia.
35
Now, Van De Kaap has no visible ties to Tiara…
36
…but through a series of cross holdings and offshore bank accounts…
37
– … they actually own it. -You can prove this?
38
– If you help me out, yeah. -Right, here it comes.
39
Before you say anything, look at that man. You see him?
40
His entire village was burned down. His wife and children, they got away.
41
He’s been working in the mining camps, trying to get his family back.
42
He cannot get through the red tape.
43
All I’m asking is this, that you help him, huh?
44
And how do you know this man?
45
– I know him. I know him. -Oh, come on, Archer.
46
You’re using him.
47
I’m using him, and you are using me, and this is how it works, isn’t it?
48
Come on. Look, you’ve got access to U.N. databases.
49
– You can track his family for him. -Why?
50
This whole country’s at war. Why should I help just one person?
51
I can’t believe I just said that.
52
My family’s here, in Guinea?
53
Yes, according to the manifest.
54
I do not know how to thank you.
55
Tassin Camp Forecariah, Guinea
56
Thank you. Thank you.
57
This is what a million people looks like.
58
At the moment, the second largest refugee camp in Africa.
59
Might catch a minute of this on CNN, somewhere between Sports and Weather.
60
– Hello. -Yeah, hello?
61
I’ve spoken with Colonel Coedoo…
62
…and highlighted the names we’re looking for.
63
– Move away. -What him doing?
64
Okay, I’m gonna check for you.
65
– Wait me there. -Okay, thank you.
66
We are here to help you.
67
This woman says she has spoken to Coedoo.
68
An entire country made homeless.
69
Two multiplied by three is equal to six.
70
Two multiplied by four is equal to eight.
71
Two multiplied by five is equal to 10.
72
Two multiplied by six is equal to 12.
73
Jassie.
74
Jassie!
75
Jassie!
76
– Jassie. -Solo.
77
– Jassie. -Solo.
78
Jassie. Jassie.
79
– Solomon. -Jassie.
80
– Solomon. -Jassie.
81
Where is Dia?
82
Dia. Dia.
83
Where is Dia?
84
Where is my son?
85
Jassie!
86
Where is my son?
87
Where is my son?
88
They took him.
89
They took him.
90
There are only two children on the manifest.
91
– Where is my son? -Oh, Christ.
92
Where is my son?
93
– Away from the fence. -Where is my son?
94
Move away from the fence.
95
– Let them out! Let them out! -Keep away from the fence.
96
Let them out!
97
Let them out!
98
Away from the fence.
99
Let them out!
100
– They’ll shoot you! -Jassie!
101
No! Solo!
102
Do you want your wife and child to watch you die?
103
Solo! Solo!
104
They said they’re concerned that some of the refugees might be rebels…
105
…so they refused to release them until there’s a cease-fire.
106
I’m so sorry, Solomon.
107
What you want, Mr. Archer, is beyond those hills…
108
…where I buried it.
109
You say the mine is on the Sewa River. Where exactly?
110
Solomon.
111
I do not need a map.
112
Yeah, well, I do. Look, we are down here, huh?
113
The press convoy is on its way to Kono.
114
You say the diamond mine is up here. Where did you bury it?
115
When we get to Kono, we’re gonna have to walk, all right?
116
You damn well better be able to find it.
117
My son is a very good student.
118
He walks five kilometers to the Sister School…
119
…every morning to study English.
120
He’s going to be a doctor one day.
121
“In the 90-degree heat, Solomon Vandy drops to his knees…
122
…rattling the wire with his powerful hands. ”
123
– What? -Nothing.
124
Do you think I’m exploiting his grief?
125
You’re right. It’s shit.
126
It’s like one of those infomercials.
127
You know, the little black babies with swollen bellies and flies in their eyes.
128
So here I’ve got dead mothers, I’ve got severed limbs, but it’s nothing new.
129
It might be enough to make people cry if they read it…
130
…maybe even write a check…
131
…but it’s not gonna be enough to make it stop.
132
I am sick of writing about victims, but it’s all I can fucking do.
133
Because I need facts.
134
I need names. I need dates. I need pictures. I need bank accounts.
135
People back home wouldn’t buy a ring…
136
…if they knew it cost someone else their hand.
137
But I can’t write that story…
138
…until I get facts that can be verified…
139
…which is to say, until I find someone who will go on record.
140
So if that is not you…
141
…and you’re not really gonna help me, and we’re not really gonna screw…
142
…then why don’t you get the fuck out of my face…
143
…and let me do my work?
144
Do you know that Solomon thinks his son’s gonna be a doctor one day?
145
Maybe his baby dies in that camp. Maybe his daughter gets raped.
146
Who knows, maybe both.
147
Do you realize that that diamond…
148
…is the only chance he has of getting his family out?
149
– You don’t give a rat’s ass about his family. -Do you understand that?
150
Listen, I need to get to Kono, all right?
151
The only way is with the press convoy.
152
I’m a journalist, and he’s my cameraman, all right?
153
– No. -Please, Maddy.
154
– Please. -No!
155
After I smuggle the stones across the border…
156
…local buyers get them to a middleman in Monrovia.
157
Go on.
158
He pays off Customs and then certifies that the diamonds were mined in Liberia.
159
That way, they can be legally exported.
160
Now, once they’ve reached the buyers in Antwerp…
161
…diamonds are brought to the sorting tables…
162
…no more questions are asked.
163
By the time they get to India…
164
…the dirty stones are mixed with the clean stones from all over the world…
165
…and then they become like any other diamonds.
166
And Van De Kaap knows about all this?
167
Yeah.
168
When I get to London, I meet with Simmons.
169
Supply and demand. You control the supply, and you keep the demand high.
170
– Agreed. -Good.
171
Now, there’s an underground vault…
172
…where they put all the stones they buy up to keep off the market…
173
…so they can keep the price high.
174
If rebels wanna flood the market with a billion dollars’ worth of rough…
175
…a company like Van De Kaap, who says that they’re rare…
176
…can’t afford to let that happen.
177
Especially when they’re telling some poor sod…
178
…he’s supposed to shell out three months’ salary…
179
…for an engagement ring.
180
Now, technically speaking, they’re not financing the war…
181
…but creating a situation where it pays to keep it going.
182
– You understand? -Yes. And where’s my proof?
183
Names, dates and numbered accounts.
184
You publish one word of this story before I give them the stone…
185
…and I’m dead, huh?
186
After I give it to them, then… I leave this continent forever.
187
If you don’t come out with the diamond?
188
Then write whatever you want.
189
I’m already dead.
190
Now, remember. All you say is, “I am the cameraman,” all right?
191
Listen, I cannot do this.
192
– Why not? -Because I am not a journalist.
193
– Of course you’re not. -Well, then how can I say I am?
194
Because you do. Because that’s how you get your son back, all right?
195
Now get on the bus. Go.
196
I am the cameraman.
197
You are writing about what is happening here?
198
Yes.
199
So when people in your country read it, they will come help us, yes?
200
Probably not.
201
– You heard of a Stinger? -What?
202
Your friend, Maddy. She’s like a full-on, heat-seeking missile, bru.
203
I mean, I saw her go into Afghanistan…
204
…like about 200 clicks into Taliban land.
205
When the military said no, she just took a bus, bru.
206
Came back with 3000 words, and she still looked so good.
207
– Like hot, you know? -All right.
208
Calm down to the frantic now, huh?
209
– What’s that? -What’s going on?
210
Looks like it was an RPG.
211
Open the door. Let us out.
212
– Let’s go, let’s go. -Come on. Go, go, go.
213
Go, go! Move, move, move!
214
We’ve just happened upon the sight of an ambush…
215
…fifteen kilometers from the Liberian border…
216
– … near the Moa River… -As you can see behind me…
217
…just a few minutes ago…
218
– … an ambulance has… -Got movement in the bush.
219
– Check out the head of the road. -Spread out.
220
– at this site. Dozens of-
221
Many are injured.
222
Get back on the bus, huh? Get back on! Come on!
223
– Maddy! -Move it! Move it!
224
Get back on the bus!
225
Solomon! Solomon!
226
– Let’s go. -Solomon, come here!
227
– Go, go, go. -Come on, come on.
228
– Get in the bus! -Move, move, move! Come on, come on.
229
– Move! -Get in the bus. Let’s go.
230
Get in, get in. Goddamn it, get in! Get in!
231
– Let me inside! -There’s no fucking space!
232
– Let them on the bus. -You give him your seat.
233
What if we just take your place, huh? What if we take your place?
234
That’s enough. He can ride with me. Oi, he can ride with me.
235
Maddy! Let’s go! Maddy, let’s go. Come on!
