[Movie Recap] He Found a Pink Diamond and Rewrote His Destiny — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00The man accidentally dug up a worldclass
- 0:02pink diamond, a stone whose size and
- 0:04color were enough to shake the world.
- 0:06With his status as a slave, Solomon
- 0:08desperately wanted to keep the diamond
- 0:10for himself. But just recently, a fellow
- 0:13worker who had only hidden a tiny rice
- 0:15grain-ized diamond in his mouth was
- 0:17discovered and shot dead on the spot.
- 0:19Where should a diamond this large be
- 0:20hidden? In that moment, Solomon's heart
- 0:23began to beat faster. Just then, a loud
- 0:26explosion rang out. The nearby water
- 0:28pump had exploded. The explosion drew
- 0:30everyone's attention. Solomon quickly
- 0:32seized the opportunity, crouched down
- 0:34slightly, and hid the diamond between
- 0:36his toes. Then he used the excuse of
- 0:39needing to use the restroom to leave
- 0:40quickly. But unexpectedly, the rebel
- 0:42commander still noticed Solomon's
- 0:44suspicious behavior. He immediately
- 0:46blocked his path. Fortunately, the
- 0:48diamond was hidden under the sole of his
- 0:50foot. Even after being searched all
- 0:52over, nothing unusual was found.
- 0:54However, as Solomon reached a secluded
- 0:57spot to hide the diamond, the cold
- 0:58muzzle of a gun was pressed against his
- 1:00head. It turned out the commander had
- 1:02not given up and had quietly followed
- 1:04him. Just as Solomon was about to hand
- 1:06over the diamond, fate smiled upon him
- 1:08once again. Government forces launched a
- 1:11surprise attack and a bomb landed right
- 1:13next to the two of them. The rebel
- 1:14commander was severely injured on the
- 1:16spot while Solomon seized the
- 1:18opportunity to run. Afterward, Solomon
- 1:21went to a dry tree and buried the
- 1:23diamond there. Immediately after he was
- 1:25captured by government forces but upon
- 1:27arriving at the prison, Solomon came
- 1:29face tof face with that same rebel
- 1:31commander. It turned out he wasn't dead,
- 1:34only injured in the eye. Despite that,
- 1:36he recognized Solomon instantly and
- 1:38roared in front of everyone. This punk
- 1:40has a priceless pink diamond. Whoever
- 1:42finds it gets a big reward from me.
- 1:44Everyone began to look at Solomon with
- 1:46covetous eyes. to protect himself. He
- 1:49vehemently denied it, even stripping off
- 1:51all his clothes to prove his innocence.
- 1:53Although this method might have subdued
- 1:55the small fry, it couldn't deceive Dany.
- 1:57Dany was a white man born and raised in
- 2:00Africa, an unscrupulous black market
- 2:02diamond smuggler. Wherever there were
- 2:03diamonds, he could be found. However,
- 2:06this was a dangerous profession. One
- 2:08small slip up and you could lose your
- 2:10life. But with his vast experience, Dany
- 2:12had honed his cunning skills. he could
- 2:14not only recognize and prevent
- 2:16robberies, but also successfully offload
- 2:18smuggled goods. That day, Dany had once
- 2:20again easily obtained a batch of
- 2:22diamonds. To transport these diamonds to
- 2:24a neighboring country to be sold, he
- 2:26disguised himself as a magazine reporter
- 2:28and hired local shepherds for cover. The
- 2:31diamonds were sewn under the skin of one
- 2:33of the sheep. But what he didn't expect
- 2:35was that someone like him, who had never
- 2:37failed, would stumble this time. Seeing
- 2:39that he was about to be caught on the
- 2:40spot, Dany had no choice but to call on
- 2:42his boss, Kutsy. As the head of Africa's
- 2:45largest mercenary army, Cutsy was famous
- 2:48throughout the region. But the
- 2:49opposition not only showed him no
- 2:51respect, but threw Dany straight into
- 2:53prison. But because of this, Dany was
- 2:55lucky enough to learn that Solomon was
- 2:57in possession of a rare pink diamond.
- 2:59Therefore, after being bailed out by his
- 3:01accomplice, he immediately reported this
- 3:03news to them and instructed them to get
- 3:05Solomon out at all costs. Because with
- 3:07his many years of experience in the
- 3:09diamond trade, Dany understood the value
- 3:11of that pink diamond far better than
- 3:13Solomon. Once he had it, he could not
- 3:16only achieve financial freedom, but also
- 3:18escape cuts control and leave Africa for
- 3:20good. After giving his instructions,
- 3:22Dany returned to the hotel. As soon as
- 3:24he walked through the door, he used a
- 3:26dagger to pry out one of his teeth.
- 3:28Hidden inside was a diamond. Clearly, he
- 3:30would only take it out as a last resort.
- 3:32When Dany went out to exchange money, a
- 3:34man snuck into his room. At the same
- 3:36time, his accompllices had also bailed
- 3:39Solomon out of prison and gave him some
- 3:41money before he left to prevent him from
- 3:42being thrown back in jail for being
- 3:44destitute. Solomon was completely
- 3:46bewildered and didn't think much of it
- 3:48because at that moment he was
- 3:49single-mindedly focused on finding his
- 3:51family. It turned out that before
- 3:54Solomon was just an ordinary fisherman
- 3:56raising three children with his beloved
- 3:58wife. Though life was simple, it was not
- 4:00peaceful. His son Jel was particularly
- 4:02well- behaved, understanding, and eager
- 4:05to learn. Every day he would wake up on
- 4:07time and walk 5 kilometers of mountain
- 4:09roads to get to school. But that day
- 4:11when Solomon was picking up his son from
- 4:13school, they suddenly encountered a
- 4:15group of armed rebels. These men were
- 4:17cruel, bloodthirsty, and inhumane. As
- 4:20soon as they entered the village, they
- 4:22began to fire indiscriminately at
- 4:24civilians, including many children. But
- 4:26when they killed, they didn't even blink
- 4:28an eye. In the chaos, Solomon helped his
- 4:30wife and children escape successfully,
- 4:32but he himself was captured on the spot.
- 4:35Initially, he was supposed to have an
- 4:36arm chopped off. But the enemy saw that
- 4:39he was strong and robust and felt it was
- 4:41a waste. So, they tied him up and sent
- 4:43him to the diamond mines to do hard
- 4:44labor, then followed the scene from the
- 4:46beginning of the story. Elsewhere, after
- 4:48exchanging his money, Dany went to a
- 4:50bar. But his purpose was not to party,
- 4:53but to find the owner to order a pistol.
- 4:55Just then, Mattiey's beauty caught his
- 4:57attention. Initially, Dany just intended
- 4:59to find a girl to sleep with. But after
- 5:01a bit of conversation, he discovered she
- 5:03was a reporter and even immediately
- 5:05guessed he was a diamond smuggler. Dany
- 5:07hated getting involved with the press.
- 5:09But Mattie stuck to him, demanding he
- 5:11provide information to expose the blood
- 5:13diamond trade and the biggest smuggler
- 5:15behind it. However, no matter how much
- 5:17Dany liked beautiful women, he would not
- 5:20reveal any information to a strange
- 5:22reporter. Returning to the hotel, seeing
- 5:24the ransacked room, Dany immediately
- 5:26realized his accomplice had secretly
- 5:28reported the news about the Pink Diamond
- 5:30to Colonel Cutsy. Although he understood
- 5:32that in this man-eating land, trust was
- 5:34the cheapest commodity, he still
- 5:36couldn't contain his anger. And the guy
- 5:38who broke into his room after finding
- 5:40nothing also immediately showed himself.
- 5:43The two were on the same side, talking
- 5:45normally on the surface, but with
- 5:47different thoughts in their hearts. Dany
- 5:49had decided to go back to see the
- 5:50colonel to lay everything bare and
- 5:52punched the man hard in the face to vent
- 5:54his anger. Not long after, Dany was
- 5:56invited to the colonel's manor for tea.
- 5:58As the biggest mercenary leader in
- 6:00Africa, the colonel both traded diamonds
- 6:02and helped the government suppress
- 6:04rebels. One could say he made a fortune
- 6:06from the war. How could a man who only
- 6:08cared about money and looked down on
- 6:10everyone else possibly pass up a rare
- 6:12pink diamond? So, he gave a firm order,
- 6:14demanding Dany get that diamond for him.
- 6:16If successful, it would clear all his
- 6:18previous business debts. At the same
- 6:20time, he was also well aware of
- 6:22Dany<unk>y's ambition, knowing he wanted
- 6:24to escape Africa. So, he picked up a
- 6:26handful of red dirt from the ground and
- 6:28said, "This is your home. You can never
- 6:30leave Africa." Dany, who had followed
- 6:32the colonel since he was a boy,
- 6:34understood his methods and brutality and
- 6:36could only reign in his sharpness and
- 6:38focus on dealing with Solomon. But at
- 6:40this point, Solomon didn't trust anyone.
- 6:43He insisted he had never seen any large
- 6:45pink diamond. Reluctantly, Dany had to
- 6:47resort to stalling tactics. In the
- 6:49evening, he returned to the bar. The
- 6:51owner gave him the pistol he had ordered
- 6:53and threw in a piece of news. The rebels
- 6:56will attack here tomorrow. He kindly
- 6:58advised him to leave early to save his
- 7:00life. Just then, Dany saw Maddie again.
- 7:02Unexpectedly, after parting on bad terms
- 7:05last time, this time they clung to each
- 7:07other like lovers who had just been
- 7:08separated. It's just that one lusted for
- 7:11the flesh, while the other only wanted
- 7:13to gather smuggling information.
- 7:15However, even in the extremely ambiguous
- 7:17atmosphere, neither of them would take
- 7:19the others bait. Losing patience, Mattie
- 7:21immediately switched to a direct attack,
- 7:24saying she had met too many people like
- 7:25him who cared nothing for human life for
- 7:27the sake of money. Dany also lost
- 7:29interest. But when he went to the bar
- 7:31for a drink, Mattie refused to let him
- 7:33go and followed him. This time, Dany
- 7:36didn't hold back either and retorted,
- 7:38"You think you're so noble? You think
- 7:40you can change Africa? In fact, you're
- 7:42also a member of the blood diamond
- 7:43trade. If it weren't for American girls
- 7:45like you, always dreaming of a fairy
- 7:47tale wedding, a sparkling stone, then
- 7:49these diamonds wouldn't be so valuable,
- 7:51and no one would go to such lengths to
- 7:53smuggle them. But Mattie countered that
- 7:55not every American girl wants a fairy
- 7:57tale wedding, just like not every
- 7:59African lives by slaughtering each
- 8:00other. In fact, every day there are
- 8:02people doing good things, but clearly
- 8:05none of them are done by you. So the two
- 8:07once again parted on bad terms. The next
- 8:09day, the rebels did indeed advance into
- 8:11the city. The place was about to be
- 8:13plunged into a sea of war. Dany took the
- 8:16opportunity to find Solomon, hoping to
- 8:18persuade him to cooperate. At this
- 8:20moment, the Pink Diamond was a deadly
- 8:22liability. Solomon had absolutely no
- 8:24chance to sell it. But Solomon was still
- 8:27single-mindedly focused on finding his
- 8:29family. Seeing this, Dany immediately
- 8:31said, "Without me, you have even less
- 8:34chance of changing your fate, of finding
- 8:36your wife and children." Just as the two
- 8:38were arguing fiercely, the rebels
- 8:40launched a large-scale attack. Amid the
- 8:42chaotic escape, Dany continued to
- 8:45persuade, and Solomon could only tremble
- 8:47and agreed to cooperate. By now, the
- 8:50government forces had engaged the
- 8:51rebels. They had absolutely no regard
- 8:53for the lives of civilians. Fortunately,
- 8:56Dany was a seasoned mercenary. He led
- 8:58Solomon through the hail of bullets,
- 9:00escaping to a relatively safe ruin. At
- 9:02night, the two used the cover of
- 9:04darkness to get to the city's only exit.
- 9:07But three rebel soldiers were guarding
- 9:08it. To escape, they had to take a risk.
- 9:11So Dany told Solomon to pretend to be a
- 9:13rebel soldier while he pretended to be a
- 9:15captured prisoner. Waiting until the
- 9:17enemy let their guard down. Dany
- 9:19immediately drew his gun and shot the
- 9:21guards dead. He picked up the rebel
- 9:23sniper rifle and shot the fleeing rebel
- 9:25in the distance. This scene made Solomon
- 9:27realize his ruthlessness. Afterward, the
- 9:30two mixed in with a group of refugees
- 9:32arriving at a government-managed refugee
- 9:34camp. here. Dany met a male reporter and
- 9:36through him found Maddie. As soon as
- 9:38they met, Dany said, "I can provide you
- 9:41with information, but in return, you
- 9:43have to use your credentials to access
- 9:45the UN database to help Solomon find his
- 9:47family." Dany did this because he knew
- 9:50that to get the pink diamond, he first
- 9:51had to handle Solomon. And the only way
- 9:53to do that was to try to help him find
- 9:55his family. Although Mattie knew she was
- 9:57being used and also knew that Solomon
- 9:59was definitely connected to the diamond
- 10:01because a petty man who only cared for
- 10:03profit couldn't possibly be generous
- 10:05enough to help a black fisherman. But as
- 10:07a righteous reporter, as long as it was
- 10:09to save people, she didn't care about
- 10:10other things. Very quickly, Mattie found
- 10:13the whereabouts of Solomon's family.
- 10:15They were currently in a refugee camp in
- 10:17the neighboring country of Guinea. But
- 10:19when they arrived by helicopter, they
- 10:21discovered that the number of refugees
- 10:22here had exceeded 1 million. Finding
- 10:25family members was truly not easy.
- 10:27Fortunately, God still had mercy on this
- 10:29pitiful man. Solomon quickly spotted the
- 10:31figures of his wife and daughter.
- 10:33However, his son J had been taken by the
- 10:35rebels. This completely devastated
- 10:37Solomon because he had witnessed with
- 10:39his own eyes the cruelty of children
- 10:41trained as soldiers and knew the rebels
- 10:44would surely turn Dia into one of them.
- 10:46And his prediction indeed came true. At
- 10:48this time, Dia had been trained by the
- 10:50oneeyed commander into a killing
- 10:52machine. When slaughtering villagers,
- 10:54the boy showed no emotion and always
- 10:56rushed to the front. To make matters
- 10:58worse, because the government feared
- 10:59refugees would join the rebels, they
- 11:01announced that Solomon's wife and
- 11:03children would only be released back
- 11:05home after the war ended. Empty-handed,
- 11:07Solomon was like a soulless man. Every
- 11:10day he mechanically mumbled his son's
- 11:12name. As for Dany, he clearly only cared
- 11:14about the diamond. After learning where
- 11:16Solomon had buried the pink diamond, he
- 11:18focused all his energy on how to dig it
- 11:20up. But the terrain there was complex
- 11:22with many factions vying for control.
- 11:24The only chance was to infiltrate
- 11:26Mattiey's team. But at this moment,
- 11:28Mattie was very troubled. A graduate of
- 11:30a prestigious school, she was smart and
- 11:32quick-witted and could have lived a life
- 11:34of luxury in New York, but she carried a
- 11:37strong savior complex, always wanting to
- 11:39eliminate injustice in the world. But no
- 11:41matter how moving her articles were, no
- 11:43matter how real her photos were, at most
- 11:46they only drew a few tears from readers.
- 11:48fundamentally unable to change the
- 11:50suffering in Africa. She didn't want to
- 11:52continue like this anymore, but wanted
- 11:53to use concrete evidence to overthrow
- 11:55those behind the blood diamond trade.
- 11:57Perhaps moved by Mattie's actions, or
- 12:00perhaps just wanting to get the pink
- 12:01diamond, Dany told her the whole truth
- 12:03about the blood diamond supply chain. He
- 12:05smuggled diamonds to neighboring
- 12:07countries. Then, local buyers would hand
- 12:09the diamonds over to middlemen. When the
- 12:11middlemen bribed customs, they could
- 12:13certify that these diamonds were mined
- 12:14domestically, thus allowing them to be
- 12:17legally exported. And the man behind
- 12:19this chain of interest was Vandicap. On
- 12:21one hand, he hoarded large quantities of
- 12:23diamonds to control the supply and
- 12:25maintain high prices. On the other hand,
- 12:27he did everything he could to sustain
- 12:29the war, preventing diamonds from the
- 12:31rebels from flowing directly into the
- 12:33market. After finishing, Dany also
- 12:35promised to provide direct evidence, but
- 12:37he had to wait until he got the pink
- 12:39diamond for this information to be
- 12:40publicly reported. Otherwise, he would
- 12:42surely die without a proper burial. So,
- 12:45the two reached a cooperation agreement.
- 12:47Dany and Solomon also pretended to be
- 12:49staff and infiltrated Mattiey's team.
- 12:51But on the way to their destination, the
- 12:53convoy was suddenly attacked by rebels.
- 12:55In the crisis, the kind-hearted Solomon
- 12:58saved a child. But because the bus had
- 13:00no more room, the few of them could only
- 13:02get on another small truck. But
- 13:03unexpectedly, disaster brought fortune.
- 13:06Everyone on the bus was wiped out by the
- 13:08rebels. While they took the opportunity
- 13:10to drive the truck and escape into the
- 13:12jungle. But just as they escaped danger,
- 13:14they ran into local gorillas.
- 13:16Fortunately, these people did not have
- 13:18the habit of killing indiscriminately.
- 13:20After some gestures and Mattie's
- 13:21photography, they not only quickly let
- 13:23down their guard, but also led the three
- 13:25to a hidden manner to take refuge.
- 13:27Compared to war torn Africa, this place
- 13:30was truly a paradise on earth. The
- 13:32children here were all formerly captured
- 13:34child soldiers, but under careful
- 13:36teaching and love, they had returned to
- 13:38their innate innocence and carefreeness.
- 13:40All of this was thanks to the owner of
- 13:42the manor. He always believed that
- 13:44people have no real distinction between
- 13:46good and evil, that even the most
- 13:48heinous villains in a moment of showing
- 13:50goodwill can make life more meaningful.
- 13:53Dany listened to these words and
- 13:54pondered. In the evening, he listened to
- 13:56the children's singing and under the
- 13:58influence of Palm Wine. For the first
- 14:00time, he opened his heart to Maddie. It
- 14:03turned out Dany was a white man born in
- 14:05Africa. When he was nine, his mother was
- 14:07killed and his father was also beheaded.
- 14:09It could be said that the war had taken
- 14:11everything from him. So, at 19, he
- 14:13followed the colonel to become a
- 14:15mercenary, fighting and resisting black
- 14:17people ever since. But later he realized
- 14:19it was all not for peace and certainly
- 14:22not for erasing racial hatred but only
- 14:24for money and profit. From then on he
- 14:26decided to fight alone, becoming a
- 14:28selfish smuggler. But now he just wanted
- 14:31to live a peaceful life. And that pink
- 14:33diamond was his ticket to leave Africa.
- 14:35Seeing the pained expression gradually
- 14:37appear on Dany<unk>y's face, Mattie
- 14:39subconsciously took his hand. The hearts
- 14:41of the two from this moment drew closer.
- 14:44The next day, the manor owner led the
- 14:46three on their way to their destination.
- 14:48But on the road, they encountered the
- 14:50rebels child army. With his kindness, he
- 14:52thought he could persuade them with
- 14:53words. But unexpectedly, the opposition
- 14:56was hardened and numb, directly
- 14:58responding to his teachings with
- 14:59gunfire. Dany quickly pulled out his gun
- 15:02to threaten them. Taking advantage of
- 15:03the children being frightened by him, he
- 15:05stepped on the gas and fled. Just then,
- 15:08the colonel's camp was nearby. To save
- 15:10the severely injured manor owner, Dany
- 15:12had no choice but to divert to the camp
- 15:15first. The good news was the manor owner
- 15:17still had a chance of survival and
- 15:19Maddie could also retreat with the
- 15:20refugees. But the bad news was that at
- 15:22this time the colonel was preparing to
- 15:24personally lead his troops to Kono where
- 15:26they were headed and demanded Dany go
- 15:28with him to find the pink diamond. But
- 15:31Dany knew well that once he followed the
- 15:32large army, he probably wouldn't even
- 15:34get a speck of diamond dust in the end.
- 15:36So after leaving the tent, he
- 15:38immediately asked Maddie for help to
- 15:40lure the guards near the armory away so
- 15:42he could sneak in to steal weapons and
- 15:44take Solomon himself. After hearing
- 15:46this, Mattie immediately understood
- 15:48Dany<unk>y's intention and also knew
- 15:50that this trip of his was surely more
- 15:52dangerous than not, but she could only
- 15:54nod in agreement through her tears. Dany
- 15:56also handed over the evidence he had so
- 15:58that even if he really died in Kono,
- 16:01Mattie could expose all the truth.
- 16:03Afterward, with Mattiey's help, Dany
- 16:05successfully got the weapons and the two
- 16:07were about to part. In fact, through so
- 16:09much hardship and sincere sharing, they
- 16:11had developed feelings for each other.
- 16:13But this separation might be forever.
- 16:15However, in this land, besides love,
- 16:18they both had their own paths to walk,
- 16:20their own fates to accept. Before she
- 16:22left, she not only took a photo for
- 16:24remembrance, but also took the
- 16:26initiative to give Dany her office
- 16:28number, home number, and mobile number.
- 16:30In the past, others had always pursued
- 16:32her. But this time, she was willing to
- 16:34break the rule and take the initiative.
- 16:36After parting, they both set off to
- 16:38pursue their destinies. Along the way,
- 16:40Dany and Solomon talked about the
- 16:42details of the pink diamond. When he
- 16:43learned the diamond was at least 100
- 16:45carats, Solomon's once heavy steps
- 16:48unconsciously became lighter, as if the
- 16:50diamond and freedom were right in front
- 16:52of him. But that very night, an accident
- 16:54happened again. As a rebel military
- 16:56vehicle roared past, Solomon caught a
- 16:58glimpse of his son Dio on it. Too
- 17:00anxious to find his son, he made a noise
- 17:02and the two were nearly hunted down and
- 17:05killed by the rebels. After escaping
- 17:07death, Dany<unk>y's anger was
- 17:08uncontrollable. He even pulled out a
- 17:10knife to threaten Solomon. If you mess
- 17:12up again, I'll skin you alive. But in
- 17:15Solomon's heart, the Pink Diamond was
- 17:17not as precious as his son. Therefore,
- 17:19despite the threat, he still wanted to
- 17:21find his son first. The two thus had a
- 17:23conflict, a fierce scuffle, but Solomon
- 17:26remained firm and reluctantly Dany had
- 17:29to concede. In the evening, the two
- 17:31fumbled their way to the rebel camp, but
- 17:33couldn't find any sign of diameter. The
- 17:35two had to continue on their way. Before
- 17:37on the road, the two often talked about
- 17:39diamonds, but now they began to talk
- 17:41about each other's lives and gradually
- 17:43truly opened up to each other. Dany even
- 17:45said he would definitely rescue
- 17:47Diameter. After walking for another day
- 17:49and night on small paths, the two
- 17:51finally reached the mine where the pink
- 17:53diamond was buried. But the place was
- 17:55heavily guarded, completely
- 17:56inaccessible. Left with no choice, Dany
- 17:59had to take a dangerous gamble, sending
- 18:01the specific coordinates to the colonel,
- 18:03requesting he use heavy firepower to
- 18:05clear a path. Dany knew this was a risky
- 18:08move, but there was no better way. He
- 18:09could only hope to take advantage of the
- 18:11battle between the two sides. risked
- 18:13sneaking to the spot with the diamond,
- 18:15dig it up, and then take the opportunity
- 18:17to escape. But Solomon, after hearing
- 18:19this, felt something was wrong because
- 18:21he was sure his son was inside. And once
- 18:24the firing started, he could very well
- 18:26lose his life. So in the evening, while
- 18:28Dany was fast asleep, he secretly
- 18:30infiltrated the enemy area and found his
- 18:32son. Who would have thought his son not
- 18:34only didn't recognize him, but also saw
- 18:36him as a traitor and captured him. Just
- 18:38then, Dany, discovering Solomon was
- 18:40missing, also followed him. But facing
- 18:43this situation, he could only wait for
- 18:45an opportunity. Early the next morning,
- 18:47the injured rebel commander appeared.
- 18:49Seeing Solomon, he was overjoyed and
- 18:52used an ax to threaten him to hand over
- 18:53the pink diamond. The reason the
- 18:55commander coveted this diamond so much
- 18:57was that he, like Dany, wanted to use
- 18:59the money to escape this hell on earth.
- 19:01Faced with the threat, Solomon was about
- 19:04to surrender, while Dany, hiding in the
- 19:06shadows, was as anxious as if on fire,
- 19:09afraid the Pink Diamond would be
- 19:10snatched away one step ahead of him.
- 19:12Just then, the Colonel's helicopter
- 19:14appeared in time. Under the hail of
- 19:16bullets and bombs, the rebels
- 19:18immediately fell apart. Although the
- 19:20situation was chaotic, Dany<unk>y's mind
- 19:22was very clear. He knew he had to focus
- 19:24on protecting Dia, as that was the only
- 19:26way to get Solomon to reveal where the
- 19:28pink diamond was hidden. So despite the
- 19:30danger to his life, he saved Diameter.
- 19:33And Solomon on the other side finally
- 19:35found a chance for revenge. He directly
- 19:37used an iron bar to smash the oneeyed
- 19:40commander's head. With absolute
- 19:41firepower advantage, the rebels were
- 19:43quickly completely wiped out. At this
- 19:45point, everyone's focus once again
- 19:47turned to Solomon, and Solomon also knew
- 19:50the location of the pink diamond was his
- 19:52life-saving card, so he kept his mouth
- 19:54shut. It wasn't until the colonel said
- 19:55that as long as Dany could make him
- 19:57talk, he would agree to a 60 to 40
- 19:59split. Otherwise, both would have to die
- 20:02that Dany pulled Dio out from the side.
- 20:04With his weak spot held against him
- 20:06again, Solomon had no choice but to
- 20:08compromise. Afterward, the group went to
- 20:10the burial spot. The place had already
- 20:12been dug up and ravaged by the rebels.
- 20:15Solomon had no choice but to force
- 20:17himself to continue digging. At this
- 20:19moment, both Dany and Solomon understood
- 20:21clearly that as soon as the diamond was
- 20:23retrieved, their lives would surely be
- 20:25in jeopardy. Dany suddenly asked for a
- 20:27cigarette from the person next to him,
- 20:29but was refused. Solomon also trusted
- 20:31Dany more, willing to risk it all with
- 20:33him to find a way out. So, he pretended
- 20:36to have found the diamond. Dany seized
- 20:38the opportunity and quickly killed the
- 20:40soldier. Solomon also took advantage of
- 20:42the chaos to attack the colonel next to
- 20:44him. Dany quickly hid in the forest,
- 20:46then suddenly turned back and finished
- 20:48off the colonel. Very soon after,
- 20:50Solomon also really dug up the diamond.
- 20:53But during the recent battle,
- 20:54Dany<unk>y's abdomen had unfortunately
- 20:56been hit by a bullet. Unexpectedly, Gia
- 20:59blocked their path with a gun. It wasn't
- 21:01until Solomon used every emotional
- 21:03appeal that his son, whose conscience
- 21:05was not yet completely lost, regained
- 21:07his senses. However, just as the
- 21:09father-son reunion ended, the three were
- 21:12attacked and could only hastily flee. On
- 21:14the way, Dany demanded the diamond back
- 21:17and also contacted his accomplice in
- 21:19advance to send a plane to pick them up.
- 21:21But the landing point was the mountain
- 21:22peak ahead. They had to cross 10 km of
- 21:25high mountain roads to get there.
- 21:27Hearing Dany<unk>y's gasps for breath,
- 21:28Solomon advised him to stop and rest,
- 21:31but the enemy could catch up at any
- 21:32moment, so he could only try his best to
- 21:34race against time. However, after
- 21:37climbing only halfway up the slope, Dany
- 21:39had no strength left. Solomon decisively
- 21:42carried him and continued on. But not
- 21:44long after, Dany was completely
- 21:46exhausted. He knew he didn't have long
- 21:48to live, so he took out that pale pink
- 21:50stone. This was what he had traded his
- 21:52life for. But he no longer had the
- 21:54chance to spend it. Although he
- 21:55understood the principle that men die
- 21:57for wealth, with success right at his
- 21:59fingertips, he still felt a bit of
- 22:01regret. However, in the end, he still
- 22:03decided to hand this stone to Solomon.
- 22:06Not only that, he also gave Solomon
- 22:08Mattie's business card, telling him to
- 22:09call her for help when he got back to
- 22:11the capital. In addition, he gave
- 22:13Solomon a gun and specifically warned
- 22:15him not to trust his accomplice. Just
- 22:17then, the enemy caught up. To buy time
- 22:20for Solomon to escape, Dany
- 22:22single-handedly set up his gun and began
- 22:24to fight back. It wasn't until he saw
- 22:26Solomon and his son get far away that he
- 22:28stopped, letting out a sigh of relief.
- 22:30Then he used a satellite phone to call
- 22:32Maddie, telling her to pick up Solomon
- 22:34and his son at all costs. Initially
- 22:36receiving the call, Mattie was very
- 22:38happy. But hearing the increasingly
- 22:40heavy breathing on the other end of the
- 22:42line, Mattie felt something was wrong
- 22:44and her heart suddenly sank. At this
- 22:46moment, the accomplice's helicopter
- 22:48roared over Dany<unk>y's head. But he no
- 22:50longer felt regret, only sighing. The
- 22:53scenery here is beautiful. I wish you
- 22:55were here, too. But luckily, he had told
- 22:57her the true story, so she could write
- 22:59her articles freely later. At this
- 23:01point, Maddie also understood the
- 23:03meaning in Dany<unk>y's words. She cried
- 23:05and said, "I wish I could be with you."
- 23:07But Dany said it was okay. He was
- 23:09exactly where he was supposed to be.
- 23:11After hanging up, Dany grabbed a handful
- 23:13of blood soaked dirt beside him, as if
- 23:15confirming the Colonel's words. This was
- 23:17his fate. Though he had tried his best
- 23:19to escape, in the end, he was born and
- 23:22died in this place. In the brilliant
- 23:24sunset, Dany peacefully closed his eyes,
- 23:27becoming the most dazzling streak of
- 23:29white on this dark land. Not long after,
- 23:32Solomon, with Mattiey's help, brought
- 23:34the Pink Diamond to London, and under
- 23:36Mattie's meticulous arrangement, reached
- 23:38a trade agreement with the top brass of
- 23:40the Diamond Monopoly. The condition was
- 23:42to help find his family. So, Solomon's
- 23:44family was finally reunited, and the
- 23:46transaction scene was also fully
- 23:48recorded by Maddie. Afterward, Maddie,
- 23:50based on the evidence in her hands,
- 23:52exposed the dark secrets behind the
- 23:54blood diamond trade. Solomon also stood
- 23:57up as a witness, telling the whole world
- 23:59the bloody stories that had happened in
- 24:00Africa. Finally, in May 2003, 40
- 24:04countries signed the Kimberly process
- 24:06certification scheme. Any diamond
- 24:08legally mined from its source must be
- 24:10packed in a tamper-proof container and
- 24:12accompanied by a Kimberly certificate to
- 24:14be exported. Otherwise, diamonds of
- 24:16unknown origin are all banned. Diamonds
- 24:18are originally just ordinary transparent
- 24:21stones. But because of human greed and
- 24:23the pursuit of material things, they
- 24:25have become symbols of purity, nobility,
- 24:28and even wealth and power. And in order
- 24:30to obtain more profit, the evil in human
- 24:32nature is constantly exposed, leading to
- 24:34exploitation and bloodshed. Although
- 24:36international agreements can slow or
- 24:38even end the illegal diamond trade,
- 24:41there is no way to reduce human greed.
- 24:43Advising people to stop buying a certain
- 24:45sinful commodity also cannot reduce it
- 24:48because the venomous snake named
- 24:49ambition still lurks in the human heart.
- 24:52The satisfaction that cannot be obtained
- 24:54from diamonds will surely be vented
- 24:55through other channels either other
- 24:57luxury goods or other immoral behaviors.
- 25:00Therefore, we do not need to boycott a
- 25:02material thing that has no right or
- 25:04wrong, but rather to clearly recognize
- 25:06the relationship between ourselves and
- 25:08the world to reconcile another
- 25:10relationship, to reconcile our own
- 25:12desires, to reconcile our own hypocrisy,
- 25:15and to reconcile our own conscience.
- 25:17Because the thing that is bloody has
- 25:18never been the diamond, but human greed
- 25:21and everexpanding desires. Today's story
- 25:23ends here. Thank you for watching. What
