[LADY RAH]: My diamond, Palesa's ashes,

reborn as a red stone...

No, no, no!

Whoa, whoa!

Whoa! Are you f*ckin' serious? No!

Gracias, senor, gracias.

[AVA]: It would be a loan.

I could easily pay you back
within the year.

[CAM]: Malcolm, I could use
your talents in La La Land.

So, Gael, he was moving
our roughs as his own.

Dad was right.

[AVA]: The money, yes or no?

What did she say?

She said yes.

[♪♪♪]

It's an old line, I know, but...

may I buy you a drink?

It is an old line, but an effective one.

Maybe that's why
it's survived for so long.

Two, please.

On second thought,

bring the whole bottle.

[CHUCKLES]

Big spender.

It's going to be expensive.

I think you're worth it.

That's...

an unusual necklace.

Very pretty.

Thank you very much.

It's very precious to me.

I'm sure it is.

Reds are extremely rare.

You know about diamonds?

They're my business.

Really?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, FYI...

if you want to attract
the attention of a lady,

then I would lead with that line first.

Point taken.

Damon.

You can call me Palesa.

[♪♪♪]

[DRUNKEN LAUGHTER]

Voila!

What do you think, huh?

Wow.

I knew about the pool,

but I didn't know about the view.

Thank you.

I told you, it's magnificent.

That it is.

It's perfect.

[DAMON'S GARMENTS TUMBLE]

Yes, it is.

[LAUGHS]

Your turn.

[CHUCKLES]

I'm not really one for
public displays of affection.

Oh, the only other person
who comes here is the pool guy,

and it's not Wednesday.

Okay.

I'm waiting.

[CHUCKLING]

I hope that thing comes off.

Hmm...

You want me to do all the work.

Okay.

You win.

[SNAPS SHUT]

[GARBLED SCREAMS]

[SIGHS IN SATISFACTION]

[♪♪♪]

[FREDDY]: They say
"Diamonds are forever."

It's true,

but they don't start out that way.

Billions of years in the Earth,

battered by pressure and flame,

causes a diamond
to deform and recrystallize

over and over again.

f*ck, man... [GASPING WEARILY]

I know I've seen that wall before...

Are you f*cking kidding me?

I'm done, dude.

For all we know, we could've
been walking in circles

for the last hours.

I'm f*ckin' serious, honestly.

I'm f*ckin' done, man. At this point,

Gael's men find us. I'm kinda hoping

- Really?
- I mean, what...

- [TWIG CRACKS UNDERFOOT]
- Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!

You asked for it.

I was kidding.

[GIVING ORDERS IN SPANISH]

Go, go! It's them, it's them!

Come on!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

[SHOUTING COMMANDS IN SPANISH]

[PURSUERS APPROACHING]

Let's go, Sundance.

[WINCING]

Shh, shh, shh!

Sundance?

Oh, yeah, like the movie, you know?

"I can't swim!"

[CHUCKLES]

All right, that's east.

That'll get us close to Guyana,

and they don't give a f*ck who we are,

or care what we're carrying.

We're gonna walk to Guyana?

Well, yeah.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[GRUMBLES IN FRUSTRATION]

[PEBBLE CLATTERS FROM ABOVE]

[COCKING g*n]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What the hell is he doing here?

It's the kid from yesterday.

Hey, what's going on?

You live around here?

Yeah?

- He wants us to go...
- It could be a trap.

[BOY CALLS] Rapido! Vamos!

What choice do we have?

I don't know...

Let's go, come on.

I'm so glad you came back.

I'm in a position to help.

I can give you %

of the Holocaust Diamond's

estimated value.

You said .

Thankfully,

I don't need that kind of help.

I was able to use it
as collateral after all.

I must admit,

I'm impressed.

May I ask who holds your loan?

Let's just say it's a very unusual bank.

I see.

If you're not here to make a sale,

to what do I owe the pleasure?

I need merchandise.

I'm going into business on my own,

and I want top quality.

Your diamonds are the best.

This is true,

our diamonds are indeed the best,

but are you certain you're ready

to go out on your own?

You and Freddy tried this before.

You haven't forgotten what happened...

Natalya,

I'm about to make a purchase...

a very large purchase.

Reminding me of my past mistakes

is not going to help you make a sale.

In fact, it may even make me reconsider.

My apologies.

I am just trying to warn you

that the diamond business
is a ruthless one,

but it appears that
you're fitting right in.

Come, let me show you our inventory.

I believe you'll find
the selection to be...

quite spectacular.

This is crap.

It's all crap.

Since when do you have a f*ckin' eye?

I can't be a proper criminal

without knowing what to pinch, can I?

Well...

There's no way I'll be risking
the nick for this bollocks.

Yeah, well, you know,

the value is not always
in the front of the store, hmm?

What are you saying, he's
holding back the good stuff?

Well, in a manner of speaking, yeah.

[CLEARING THROAT]

[DINGS BELL]

Cameron Rose!

Cy, long time, huh?

Such a surprise.

Yeah.

Hey, meet my son, Malcolm.

Your, uh...?

[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]

You don't see the resemblance?

Maybe he expected someone a bit taller.

[LAUGHS]

I'm going to go take a look around.

Yeah, you do that, son.

Cy, I haven't seen you
around much lately.

Well.

Terrible what happened
with Green & Green, eh?

That was a nasty business, that.

Yeah.

How lucky was I, though,

not having a piece of the company?

[LAUGHING TOGETHER]

Well, Fate, you know,
she's a fickle lover,

but when she smiles upon us... eh?

Well, she's smiling on you
today, Cy, you know,

'cause I'm gonna put in
an offer for you store.

grand should see you
safely into retirement.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

If I thought you were serious,
I'd be insulted.

Are you saying my offer's no good?

Cameron...

this is not your kind of store.

It-it's...

It's low-end merchandise,

it's the cheap stuff.

Are you saying that grand
don't buy cheap sh*t?

I'm saying that my store

is worth twice that.

grand.

No, no...

grand, that's my final offer.

My store is my life.

And I stop him

from cutting your f*cking head off.

Go on,

say no.

It'll make this quicker.

I'll sell.

Good.

Yeah, that's good.

Oh, uh, and by the way,

if you're thinking of
going back on the deal

or going to the law,

your grandchildren...

Um...

Isabel and Tova.

Yeah, they looked
adorably cute this morning

in their school uniforms.

Cam...

please.

Don't hurt them.

Come here...

That's the last thing I want to do, Cy.

It's the last thing I wanna do.

Now, you say hello
to your beautiful wife, huh?

Where's the safe?

Mal, that's not why we're here.

Eleazar here, he's the value.

Hello, my old friend.

[CHUCKLING WARMLY]

Ah, well, you know.

Eli, he's the Master, you know?

The last of his kind.

When Cy started selling sh*t,

he stayed, you know why?

Because he's loyal to a fault.

But I've known you longer, haven't I?

_

Yeah, well.

Built with less sweat.

[CHUCKLING]

Eli, um...

there's going to be
a change in management,

but we're going to get you
the stones your talent deserves.

I only hope I can be of service.

Service?

You're gonna turn 'em
into f*ckin' works of art.

Huh?

[CHUCKLING]

Beautiful.

[VOICES AHEAD IN CONVERSATION]

- Rafa!
- Papa! Papa!

_

Uh... guess his hand
wasn't worth that much...

He said "Don't sh**t," I think.

You think?

"Papa". Hi. He definitely said,

[JAKE MUTTERING]
I'm gonna translate this as

"We are f*cked."

Uh, hey.

Mi hijo.

My son.

Yeah.

My son.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Come.

Vamanos!

- Okay.
- Okay, let's vamonos.

[FATHER AND SON TALKING]

You guys are... you know.

[AUTOTUNED VOCAL TRACK RECORDING]

[♪♪♪]

Ooh... I like that flow.

Word!

Turn it up, turn it up.

[♪♪♪]

♪ ...We been through a lot
we gon' be all right... ♪

Ava f*cking Green.

Been a long time.

And time has done you right.

How are you, Massa?

Oh, I love the way my name sounds

rollin' off a white woman's tongue.

Doing fine, lovely.

Yo, take a few.

[SINGER STOPS]

And y'all can excuse yourselves.

I'll check you in a minute.

Gotta say, Ms. Ava,

I was surprised to get your call.

Thought your man was out of the business.

I'm on my own now.

So you're poaching Jake's clients?

Gangsta.

Jake's not in a position
to service his client list,

and I am.

Oh, so you're gonna service me now?

[CHUCKLES MIRTHLESSLY]

'Cause you know I've always
liked what I've seen.

Well then, you'll like this.

Ooh... ee!

Five carats, Radiant Cut.

Money green.

That's some stone.

Stones, plural.

Sisters cut from the mother rough.

Perfect for studs.

Mm, slow your roll, babe.

You're trading
on your husband's reputation,

not your own.

Doesn't make them any less valuable.

They'd easily sell for a million,

but I can give them to you for .

So you either stole them,

or you're just looking to make
a big sale, quick.

I only want to sell them to you.

Ah...

you're trying to get your ice
on some blinged-out rapper,

and make a quick name for yourself.

I saw the stones, and I thought of you.

Nothing more than that...

Massa.

Damn, I love the way you say my name.

I wouldn't mind hearing it in private,

if you know what I mean.

In fact,

I'll take your deal...

long as you take mine.

Stop your f*ckin' whinin'.

You know all I did
was tune you up a little.

You embarrassed me in front of my son.

You got what you deserved.

Bollocks.

You know, that was personal.

Now, we've got a deal.

The two don't go together here.

Tommy...

I should've kicked your f*ckin' head in.

Now, go f*ck yourself.

I told you he wouldn't take it lightly.

[GRUMBLES] Well, you know.

No, you proper tucked him in.

Put a man in hospital.

It's...

it's a bit of a cock up,

if you wanted to do
more business with him, innit?

Ah, we don't need the f*ckin' pikey.

Okay.

How do we import, then?

Malcolm...

Because Tommy might be a pikey, but...

he's still got London.

Malcolm, look...

he's not the only game
I got on the go here.

All right.

I gotta get some new furniture here.

[GROANS]

_

_

Hey...

I've got dynamite in my dining room, too.

_

_

_

[QUIETLY] So...

what are they fighting about in there?

You.

Yeah, I figured.

Uh, what about us?

They think you're too dangerous,

but Papa thinks you can help us.

Oh? Like, how?

I mean, we can't really even
help ourselves right now.

Esta bien.

Everything all right?

Sure.

It's an honor to have...

share meal with you.

Okay, thank you.

That's... I mean, you haven't
seen our table manners yet.

Look, hey, we are
grateful for everything,

but I think it's probably best

if we leave.

Really? You're not hungry?

Que? Que?

_

No, no, no, no.

_

_

You-you help my son.

You help family.

_

Yeah. Thank you.

Sylvia! Mateo!

_

Hi.

Thank you very much.

Esta bien, Matteo.

I'm Freddy. This is Jake, by the way.

You've got a lovely home.

Oh, wow.

That looks... good.

That looks great.

O... kay.

We're gonna pray.

[BEGINS SAYING GRACE IN SPANISH]

Good choice.

Hey...

You look great, kid.

Come here.

Please, sit.

A present.

Hmm.

A Trojan horse.

[CAM CHUCKLES]

Well, I wanted you to enjoy my gift.

Black Lizards...

G's of box.

Very nice.

So...

why are we really here?

What is it they say, um...

"So beautiful she needs to be wooed,

"but she's a woman,

so she also needs to be won."

[CHUCKLES INDULGENTLY]

It will take a lot more
than a box of cigars.

What about

millions

in untraceable diamonds?

I can't clean illegitimate
stones for you, Cameron.

Aw...

come on.

Let's just say
I have different interests.

Are you seriously saying no to me?

Rah... I just cleaned up
this mess with Pieter...

and I got your daughter back,

and don't forget,

you're alive because of me.

I also have a f*ckin' business to...

They k*lled her.

Your daughter?

They k*lled her.

Oh, f*ck me.

I'm so sorry, Rah. I, uh...

Did you take her with you?

Why the f*ck would you do that?

I chose this life, she didn't.

Is that what this is?

Revenge?

Rah...

you and me, you know, both of us,

we've k*lled many people

It was a matter of time

before they turned round
and bit us on the ass.

And how would you feel
if that happened to Malcolm?

He's a big boy.

He can look after himself.

He's like his father.

Are you gonna help me?

Or have I got to put in a call
to Westhuizen?

We may not be ready
to be partners yet, Cameron,

but you really don't want me
as your enemy.

[CHUCKLES]

No, uh...

No, I don't.

[CHUCKLING] No...

No, I certainly don't.

I'll see you around, kid.

[FREDDY]: The Earth isn't
a big blue marble,

cold and stagnant.

It's dynamic,

constantly moving.

Over time, it shapes the diamond crystal,

squeezing it, rounding
or sharpening the edges.

Sometimes, cavities form
within the crystal,

creating a diamond with color.

Brown, pink, green,

or, on the very rare occasion,

red.

[EXHALING HEAVILY]

f*ck...

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Boom!

[LAUGHING]

I've got to stop. That was so good, man.

Thank you so much.

This has been just... really delicious.

I appreciate that.

So, look, um,

we're in some trouble,

so I-I don't know
if it'd be cool if we...

hide out here for a couple of days, or...

I don't know if you have a car.

We have to get out of the country.

I know, uh...

Rafa told me

that you were hoping
we could help you out,

and we-we'd be...
we'd be happy to send you money

when we get home,

or, you know, I've got...

Let me, uh...

I think, a little bit...

I've got, like, $ ,

and I have a watch, too, that I can...

There's that. Here, take that...

No.

No.

No. No, no...

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

That's not the kind of help we need.

Okay. Then what?

[SYLVIA] Rafa! Nicolas!

_

You need a minute.

I'm gonna go see a man about a horse.

I'm gonna go check on my brother.

Rafa!

Do you think it's the best idea

to be outside right now?

Well, actually, I think we should leave.

Really?

Yeah, I got a bad feeling about this.

I don't know, man.

I think our best option is

we hole up here for a
couple days, if he lets us.

Really?

Yeah, till things die down,

and then we take off.

So, you're comfortable trusting this guy,

all of his friends,

with our lives?

Any one of them could figure out

at any moment

that it would be worth it to turn us in.

[VEHICLE APPROACHES]

[♪♪♪]

[CAR STEREO STOPS]

Shari, I'm home!

In here!

Oh, how is my gorgeous wife?

Hi, Massa.

Oh, please,

drop that "Massa" sh*t.

He's Lester at home.

Come see, baby.

Isn't it gorgeous?

The perfect gift from a man to his wife,

don't you think?

Tell her how much he loves her,

remind her she's the most
important person in his life.

And it's got a name.

"Pink Dahlia."

A diamond this exquisite
always has a name.

Six carats,

Fancy Intense Pink.

And the cushion cut is perfect
for your wife's hand.

I love it.

How much?

, .

, is that right?

Come on, baby,

write the check.

[SIGHS]

If that's what you want.

It is.

You know how much I love pink.

Thank you.

Lester...

I have something for you, too.

An amazing pair of greens
I really think you'll like.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

Yes, this is Ava Green.

Is there a problem?

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Papa...

_

No.

_

f*ck.

_

Um...

we decided.

She decided.

We... cannot help you.

That's okay.

That's okay...

I'd let her decide, too.

Yeah.

I know you guys put yourself at risk

helping us out, so I appreciate that.

Before we go...

we need to get to, I guess, Guyana,

somewhere out of the country...

Guyana?


We need to avoid the cartel.

Can you help us out?
Do you have any idea...


[EXPLAINING IN SPANISH]

Here we go, here we go...

[SIGHING] Matteo...

Why don't we go back to the house?

You speak English, right?

Your brother does, so...

I'm gonna let go, okay?

I get it, okay?

I do.

You have to watch your brother work

while you stay at home.

That must suck.

Okay, and I know you want to step up,

protect your family, but...

I have to protect my family, too.

You understand that, right?

But I don't want anyone
to get hurt, so...

Don't do this.

Okay?

Why don't we just go back to the house?

Yeah?

Good.

Good, yeah, I think we're okay.

Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy.

Oh, damn...

Trade routes are an interesting beast.

I mean, you'd think it'd be easy
in this day and age,

with all our sophisticated
methods of transportation,

to move goods from one place to another.

Simple logistics.

Logistics are never simple.

Simple, or complex,

the minute anyone...

a person, a country, an ideology...

draws a line and sets limitations,

well, logistics break down.

Well, money always
gets you over that line.

You need more than money to move goods,

you need contacts, connections,

a network.

- My pleasure.
- Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

[INDIGNANT] Sir! We're closing.

It's all right, mate.

I'm just here to have
a quick chat with Tamir.

Sir, I'm sorry, but there is no Tamir.

Sir?

Yeah?

Stop!

I'm gonna ask you to leave, now,

before we have you physically removed!

Freeze, assh*le!

Or I'll blow your f*cking head off.

All right, all right, calm down.

Down on the ground! Now!

- All right.
- Now!

Calm down, for f*ck's sake, I'm doing it.

[GROANING IN PAIN]

[SCREAMING IN HORROR]

[SILENCED g*nshots SNIPE]

[expl*si*n ECHOES]

Networks always come with a price tag.

Indeed, they do.

How much?

Three-and-a-half million, cash.

Every transport is negotiated separately.

No, no, no, um...

We negotiate one time,

here and now,

and, uh, I'm gonna need my shipment

by the end of this week.

Well, then I want the f*cking money

by noon tomorrow.

Yeah, that's no problem.

Uh, my son, uh...

he's making a withdrawal as we speak.

Get out!

f*ck off!

Right.

I reckon we've got three minutes
until the cops come.

Ah, I do love working
with proper criminals.

Hello, love.

[CARTEL SOLDIERS SHOUT]

_

[SCREAMS OF FRIGHT]

_

_

_

_

_

Give me this.

f*cking g*n.

I told you so.

Can we f*ckin' leave now, please?

Yeah, we'll head east.

We can make it.

All right, let's go...

- [CARTEL SHOUT OUTSIDE]
- sh*t.

f*ck... f*ck.

f*ck.

We're f*cked.

f*ck...

sh*t...

They're f*cking everywhere, Freddy.

Walk us out.

Just... pretend we're your hostages,

and walk us out.

They will k*ll you.

Yeah, it's the right thing to do.

They'll k*ll us all if you don't.

[FREDDY CALLING] Don't sh**t!

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

So you thought you could run from me?

That I wouldn't find you?

[SIGHING] f*ck you.

What did you say?

I said, f*ck you.

[FREDDY SHOUTING IN PROTEST] Hey!

[ALL SHOUTING]

[GROANING]

Relax.

This ends now.

_

- ...Mother fucker.
- No!

[NEARBY EXPLOSIONS]

[g*nf*re BLASTING]

Behind you!

[GAEL COCKS g*n]

I should have never underestimated you.

[g*nsh*t]

That's right, you f*cking shouldn't have.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah...

Why did you f*ckin' slap me?

We received your petition

to represent Westhuizen's
interests in Los Angeles.

It was...

Well, it was surprising.

As were the extravagant gifts.

Not to say that they weren't appreciated.

A million a bottle...

I've always wanted to try

the world's most expensive bubbly.

I knew you'd enjoy it, Robert.

Whether we appreciate the Brut or not,

isn't the point.

You can't buy your way onto the Board

with expensive gifts.

But I can show you that I'm serious.

You have lost your L.A. representative.

Damon was...

recently the victim
of an unfortunate accident.

I am so sorry.

The diamond business
is extremely cutthroat,

particularly in Los Angeles.

And yet, here you are,

positioning yourself

to take control of the company's business

in that very dangerous town

before Damon's body is cold.

What do you hope to gain, Ms. Rah?

Before Pieter van de Bruin d*ed,

I was his L.A. representative.

Pieter was filth.

I did his bidding.

I dealt his diamonds,

including blood diamonds.

Diamonds that were mined by child slaves.

Diamonds that funded rebels

who m*rder thousands of innocent people.

I believe he was your man, too.

We didn't know.

Don't insult me.

Los Angeles has been underperforming

since Pieter's death.

Percentage of marketing is up,

yet profit margins are down,

and the Russians are primed to take over.

Give L.A. to me, and I will rectify it.

We'll let you know our decision.

Thank you.

Oh...

one more thing.

You may think that you know L.A.

You may think that your former
representative knew L.A.

But I am L.A.

I was the number one
diamond dealer in L.A.

for over a decade.

I am prepared to work with you,

but trust me,

I am more than willing to work against.

Hmm.

...Stronger sense of smell than dogs.

They use their trunks

to constantly explore
the world around them.

Each elephant needs
up to gallons of water a day

and almost...

Sarah?

Your doctor called.

He said you're ready to be released.

[TV PROGRAM CONTINUES]

Sarah, are you ready to go home?

I don't have a home.

Of course you do.

He's there.

You can stay with Willow and I.

We have plenty of space.

I can't.

Don't you see?

I can't leave here
until everything's settled.

But the...

the doctor said you're fine.

Ava, please...

I understand.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry you came
all the way down here.

No, it's okay.

We're going to figure this out.

I'll handle Cam.

A nice dram of gold watch.

You'll like that.

Beautiful.

[CHUCKLES]

[GROANS WEARILY]

To a plan well ex*cuted.

Yeah, the cameras were right
where you said they'd be.

Yeah, preparation,
preparation, preparation.

And skill.

Skill and preparation.

f*ckin' hell...

Yes.

[SIGHS]

Oh, God, that's good.

So we're in, then?

Yeah, soon as that c**t Percy
gets his dough, yeah.

Well, that's the transport sorted.

Where are we gettin' the stones?

My worry.

You know?

Tonight we celebrate.

Right, uh, you sort the dough out.

I, uh...

I gotta have a bit of me-time.

Right.

I'll see you later.

Yeah.

[GROANS WEARILY, CHUCKLING] Ooh...

You did good today, kid.

I'm proud of you, son.

Yeah.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

[DRYLY] Ava, how nice.

Did you honestly think

that you could lock her away forever?

What?

What are you talking about?

That the rest of the family
would just turn a blind eye?

Sarah is ready to come home, Cam.

My wife's very ill,

you know that.

According to her doctor,
she is ready to be released.

Oh.

So you think a couple months in hospital,

and she'll be better?

Ain't life grand.

Well, you wasn't there

when she swallowed a bottle of pills,

or when she slit her wrists

and crawled under the bed
so I couldn't f*ckin' reach her.

You wasn't there,

and neither was her f*ckin' doctor.

She is on medication.

It doesn't work.

It never has, never will.

[CAM GRUMBLES] Now...

I did what I thought
was best for my wife,

and if you know what's best for you,

you'll mind your own f*cking business.

No, you don't get to do that anymore.

I am helping her file for divorce.

She's not going to be your wife

much longer.

[DISCONNECTS CALL]

[DROPS PHONE, CLATTERING]

Well, we'll f*ckin' see about that.

My friend, he'll take you to Guyana.

Okay, thank you so much.

We really appreciate this, buddy.

Hey, Scarecrow,

I'm gonna miss you most of all.

Seriously, you and your brother,

we owe you the most.

If you hadn't set off those expl*sives,

it probably would have taken us

a couple more minutes
to escape those guys.

Please. He's lying,
we would've been dead.

Thank you, so much.

Thank you very much. We appreciate it.

You are welcome.

We didn't know we could trust you, but...

you were willing to die to protect us.

What's up?

f*ck me.

That's the best damn rough
I've ever seen.

Please.

What? No, no, this is...

You need to sell this,
you can make a lot of money.

They can't.

What?

They don't own the mine.

They don't have the rights to that.

The government would just
take it from them.

Or worse.

Por favor.

You... you take it back to the U.S.,

and you...

bring us back the money.

This is what you guys
have been arguing about.

I swear to you,

on-on my father's grave,

I'll bring you the money myself.

I promise.

[FREDDY]: If a diamond
manages to withstand

two billion years of intense pressure

and extreme heat deep within the Earth,

it still has to survive
the trip to the surface.

It's an expl*sive, violent ride

that only the hardest substance
on Earth can survive.

If a diamond makes it
to the Earth's surface,

it becomes almost impossible to destroy.

Can I buy you a drink?

No, thank you.

I'm drinking alone this evening.

It's a private celebration.

Well, you certainly have
every right to celebrate.

Quinn Sinder.

I just came from Westhuizen.

They agreed to you
running their interests in L.A.

I thought they might.

Yeah, they did have one condition.

Oh?

You don't get Los Angeles
without supervision.

They're sending me with you.

[CHUCKLES]

I see.

Well...

a bit like throwing you
in the deep end, I believe,

Quinn.

I hope you can swim.

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

[FREDDY]: Because of the circumstances

of its conception,

the impossible trials
it must survive to be birthed,

a diamond is no longer vulnerable.

It is, indeed,

forever.
