Thank you.

If you learned how to sing in your native tongue, I could get you a

contract, you know.

I know you love it, Mike.

It keeps me awake, and after six hours of saying, that's some trick.

What's this one about?

It's an old jungle song about a young boy sent into the jungle to prove his

thankful by killing the ferocious lion.

And on the way, when he meets the lion face to face, he takes pity on the

animal, and he can't do it. What happens?

Well, the lion eats him alive.

You're too much, Franklin. How old is that story?

I'd say about 30 seconds now. Yeah, I figured.

Tango 4 back.

State your position. Over.

I am opposed to all governments.

Suggest you state your position as requested.

This is a red alert.

Uh -oh.

Roger. Tango 4, position 264 at 634, heading 9 or 0.

Position understood.

Mike, this is Ian.

There's an airborne intruder somewhere north of you.

Can you be more specific?

Not at the moment, sir.

That's what I love about you, Ian. Pinpoint accuracy.

I suggest you start heading north. I'll get back to you as soon as I have

something. Tango 4 out.

Well, you heard the man, Franklin.

North. Well, north covers a lot of territory.

Wake me up when you get ice on the wings.

Are you sure it's not one of our own choppers?

It's a light aircraft, sir.

Flying nice and low, too.

Speed about 120.

Flying approximately 50 feet above the sun.

Mr. Webb, head of company security.

I'm sorry, sir.

No one mentioned you were paying us a visit.

No one knows.

Never.

Your speed's dropping, sir.

Less than 100 now.

Morning, Ian.

Hope you don't mind my daughter.

How can I possibly mind anyone as beautiful as Claire?

You just may be getting up this hour very worthwhile.

I came as soon as I could.

Anything new on that aircraft?

We're tracking it somewhere in this sector there.

Sounds like it's going to attempt a landing.

No mayday signal?

Tried every channel.

Nothing. His radio could be out. That's a possibility.

Then there's another possibility, Mr. Nelson.

more likely one, Diamond.

I picked up your red alert call to Tango 4 on my car radio.

Well, this is a surprise.

But always pleasant to see you.

Oh, my daughter, Claire, came to visit me for a few days.

Mr. Webb is head of company security for all of Europe and Africa.

That's quite impressive.

Sometimes I get carried away with it myself.

Mr. Nelson, I don't remember this.

Or is it Ms.? It depends on the man.

Yes.

I don't remember Miss Chambers having clearance to enter the building.

Officially, no.

Oh, is there another kind?

Perhaps one that I'm not familiar with? Not just one moment. Mr. Webb, if an

administrator's own daughter... I wouldn't care if she was your whole

roll up no one.

SDC goes to a lot of expense and a lot of trouble to protect its property.

The company's security system, Mr. Chambers, is known to very few, and I

to keep it that way.

Is that understood, Mr. Chambers?

I'll see you back at the bungalow. I'm sorry.

Gentlemen, I have a feeling there'll be some changes made around here.

Plane's coming in for a landing.

Little place from about 16 miles northeast of Tango Falls.

If he's not careful, he'll bid one of our ground phone areas.

How far do we have to go? Relax.

Five or ten minutes.

Just about enough to stretch your legs.

Or my neck.

They're walking away from the plane.

Is there a chopper on alert?

Yes.

How did the chopper destroy the plane?

The world is just somebody in trouble.

Base to Skyman 3. Base to Skyman 3. Over.

Alert Tango 4.

Have a helicopter standing by.

Base to Tango 4.

Base to Tango 4.

Yes, sir.

Huh? For a man who's going to be rich, you don't seem too happy about it. I'll

believe it when I buy my first Rolls Royce. I told you there's nothing to

about.

That desire will be in and out before they realize.

Three years prospecting for the Diamond Corporation, you learn the do's and the

don'ts.

Don't try anything funny inside the mines, but do stock up a few samples for

when you get out.

Why didn't you stick them in your pocket when you left?

With the going over they give you, I couldn't have got away with it if I

them up me arse.

Any luck they haven't seen us.

What the hell do we do now?

Walk. Walk? It's 70 miles. We'll make it.

Come on now.

Before a patrol shows up.

Chopper spotted two men, both armed.

Their plane's still burning.

Roger, base. We can see this now. Roger.

I've looked at it. They haven't seen it.

You said it would be so easy.

Well, you're coming or not.

Whoa.

Well, that's Pop Keller, one of our geologists.

I don't know who the other clown is.

Let's go get him.

Okay, Pat.

Stop calling me Pat.

He's right.

We haven't got a chance.

I'm going to give myself up.

You're going to stay right there.

Come on out, Keller.

If I have to come and get you now, you're dead.

Drive ahead.

Bottom of the dune. Looks like Bradley's got one of them.

Finish the job.

You're a fool, Keller.

Goddamn fool.

Good work, Bradley.

That wasn't necessary.

Why don't you tell that to your driver?

Or the two men in the helicopter?

Half a million dollars, Mr. Chambers?

Yes. And that's only scratching the surface.

We got them back, Mr. Webb. Which certainly speaks for Ian's security.

In fact, even the native laborer has stopped trying to smuggle out stones.

That, gentlemen, is your problem.

If you're complaining because no one's stealing... No, no, no, I'm not

complaining. I'm just stating a fact.

You see, wherever diamonds are mined, the temptation to keep one is

That's the psychological norm.

It's when they stop, that's when I begin to worry.

Our records are open to... I don't give a damn about your records, Mr. Chambers.

Just human nature.

For the first time in the history of our company, now one laborer has attempted

to take a stone.

To me, that means something.

That means that they didn't have to.

That means that maybe there's a buyer right here in this compound who just

buying these stones before they get to the gate and then stashing them away

until the time is right.

Is this fact or theory?

Applied psychology, Mr. Nelson.

Like I said, you have a problem.

You'll go sooner or later. This buyer is going to try to get those stones out of

here. You'll never succeed.

I could.

But then again, I know my way around.

And so do many others on this compound.

Even you, Mr. Webb, don't know about some of our newest safeguards.

Like that trench that's dug all around the place.

With something inside called a pressure strip.

Hmm?

Buried six feet under the sand, surrounds the entire compound.

It's five miles from the perimeter fence.

Now, if you're heavier than a sand fly, across that strip, you're gonna have

security guards coming out of your ass.

Well, it looks like we're gonna have to do a little dieting. Hey, Chilton?

Major Chilton. What else do we know about it?

Only that it works. I'm waiting on some more information now.

Now, the entire desert was littered with buried G -phones, seismic detected.

Keep an eye open for the antenna.

What about radar?

Both long and short range.

If we can only go in so far by jeep, we'll have to walk the rest of the way.

Now, each watchtower has a beam, scans in an arc. If it hits something, they'll

know you're there.

Hey, I don't know why you called us. You need the invisible man.

Yeah, well, I wish we had one, Papa.

Now, the radar does have one fail spot, though.

The sand dune, it's eight feet high, and it blocks the scanner for a distance of

ten yards, and that gentleman is our only point of entry.

So we just tiptoe past all these G -phones, evade air patrols, ground

pressure strips, radar beams.

It's a comforting thought to know that we do have a point of entry.

Nobody offered you 20 grand each to go on a picnic, Chilton. You're here to

up diamonds, and don't you forget it.

Now, if any of you think you can be earning more money someplace else, now's

time to get off the pot. Take it easy, Governor. No one's griping. But without

inside help, we may as well take our kill pills now.

Don't worry. There'll be inside help.

Who is it?

Well, let's just call him Santa Claus.

But what if we don't believe in Santa Claus?

I'm sure we'd all be very relieved to know who he is.

When the time is right, Mr. Chilton, he'll come sliding down your chimney.

It could be any of your personnel.

Foremen, caterers, doctors.

Could be you, Chambers, or Nelson.

No one's in the clear until this buyer is found.

If he exists, I'll find him. Well, you'd better, Mr.

Nelson. Your job here may depend on it.

German?

Good morning, Mr. Bradley, sir. Reporting for security check.

Do you know the procedure, Ms. Chambers?

Remove your clothes.

Miss me?

A little.

For all three months.

Correction. Three months, two weeks, four days, and seven hours.

All right.

with that fabulous face immortalized this time.

It's entirely true.

Arthur? Sent your card from Arthur?

Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here.

It's a lie.

Didn't wish I was there?

I didn't have a good time. I never have a good time with Arthur.

Honey,

you're going to get all dry sitting out there.

Maybe you can get away with it.

Maybe.

Why didn't you ask me to stay?

For how long?

A couple more hours?

A day?

As long as you want.

What would you do?

Sweep the sand back out the desert?

Born in the desert, Mike.

My mother spent her whole life here with my father. She was very happy.

Yes, well, your mother.

Well, your mother didn't have her picture passed all over magazines

I mean, who is my competition, David?

Didn't know you had these.

This is just part of my collection.

Why didn't you want me to know?

Pride? Why did you think I'd take this weakness?

Or maybe even a commitment.

Claire, we've got a great thing.

We see each other six or seven times a year.

We make love and we have fun and we play games.

But you don't live here.

After three months, you'd be climbing a wall.

And after six months, well, I'd come home from patrol one morning and you'd

gone.

I couldn't go for that.

I'll never have to, Mike.

Love you.

be right there.

Ten seconds, show to six.

Thought you said this was important. It is.

You don't think I would have interrupted your rest if it wasn't.

Get in.

I take it that you want a little privacy.

I don't believe in letting the fox see you setting the trap.

Do you know who the fox is?

No, but you're going to find him for me.

Well, I'm glad you have such confidence in me.

One of my contacts reported some new characters to the Sandhook.

Claimed to be mining engineers.

He even had a license to prospect the Great Rift for copper.

Copper? Oh, terrific.

So far, only three have been identified.

John Lewis, retired army major.

Edward Wood, ex -British army sergeant. And Paul Adams, mechanic, formerly

American Air Force.

All three of them operated in the Congo and Vietnam as mercenaries.

And I don't think they're here for rest and relaxation.

I have a feeling my fox has hired them to get his diamonds out.

Even if they had a small army of mercenaries, Ian, they couldn't hit the

You know that.

They could, with your help.

And that's exactly what I want.

My help?

Recognize it?

Except for size, they all look the same to me.

This one's a little nicer shape.

For a few minutes today, that belonged to Pop Geller.

About $80 ,000 worth.

I want you to steal it.

Steal it?

I want you to smuggle it out and go to ground.

The security man on the run, you'd be irresistible bait.

You seriously want me to lead them in?

I'm asking you to finger the fox for me, Mike.

I think the desert's finally gotten to you, Ian. But you find it interesting,

huh? The excitement, the challenge.

I find it dangerous and foolish. Once they were convinced you stole it, they'd

come looking for you.

What if they don't? What if you're all wrong? What have you got to lose?

Oh, my job, my life, my subscription to Time magazine.

Well, I can see the life might be a bit sticky.

Thanks. As for your job, you can always fall back on me. You're simply following

my orders.

Why do I have to actually steal it? Why don't you just stick the word out that I

did it?

Because they're mercenaries, Mike, not idiots.

It must look real in every detail.

Besides, I don't want anyone else but us to know about this.

About Webb? Especially not Webb.

Your only contact on the outside will be an informant of mine by the name of

Danny at a safari bar.

Danny?

Well?

Well, how long do I have to think about it? I'll take your time tonight.

But the faster you decide, the quicker I'll drive you back to what's waiting

you in your bungalow.

Take your time.

You sure do know how to charm the pants off a fella, Yen.

There's still plenty of time. We could stop for a drink at the Konjiki.

I was hoping you'd offer me something more than that.

There's never enough time for that. You know, I come back from patrol.

I find you stepping in my shower.

That same afternoon, I find you stepping on a plane.

That's not very fair, Claire.

You know how you talk once.

Well, then you're... I don't have to answer that question.

I didn't think you would.

Would you step inside a minute, sir?

Bradley, security.

Yes, but Mr. Roberts would like to work first.

You too, miss.

What's going on?

Obviously, practice makes perfect.

It's all about it. Where?

From today, everyone gets it. Well, that can't include her.

Sorry, Mike. They're not my orders.

Anna.

You too, big honey.

Where? Let's put the event.

Hi, Mike. Doc.

Well, take your pick.

Okay, strip, Mike.

Strip? Strip.

Never thought I'd be a strip miner.

Lift your tongue.

Gold fillings better still be there, Doc.

On the bed.

Yeah.

Follow that. But I ate all my vegetables, Dad.

Go on. Follow that.

No diamonds or rubies or gold nuggets, huh? Not yet. Drop your pants.

Terrific.

That one went down. Guess what direction this goes.

As long as I don't get addicted to it.

Why that? Why didn't you give me a new paint job?

I could sure use that ring.

Good to see you last time, old man.

No, no, the one at the end there. Yes, that one.

70 rand for a real diamond?

Don't take that.

I'll take it.

I'll wreck it. Oh, no, that's not necessary.

I thought you deserted me. No, I had an appointment with my jeweler.

A little going away for him.

Really?

Well, if you like imitation.

Oh, I love imitation.

Especially when it's coming from the real thing.

Damn it, I'm going to miss you.

But think of all the beautiful places you get to miss me from.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to miss you too.

Well, we do. You know that.

Well, what are they doing here?

I don't know, but I have a feeling we'll find out.

Mr. Brantley, Mr. Webb, and we have reason to believe that you're stolen a

diamond from the Syndicated Diamond Corporation.

Mr. Webb, I'm a security officer, not a magician.

As far as I'm concerned, you're a thief.

Well, you better have some pretty good proof of that, mister.

Miss Chambers, where'd you get that necklace?

I gave it to her.

But it's just a silver topaz. He got it out there.

Silver topaz.

That's very modest of you, Mr. Bradley.

Roberts.

Please, Mike.

Don't let's make a scene here.

Looks like that tip you got was right.

Yes.

And you have no idea who phoned it in? No, sir.

I told you, when I tried asking you, it was he hung up. All right, you call the

authorities. Cover the roads and the airport.

What about the girl?

Bring her along.

I'm sorry, sir.

You'll have to come with me.

Mike. He got away.

Go find them, Woody, before they do.

What time does Danny get here?

Never before dark.

Mr. Bradley, what do you want?

I want to be your friend.

I've already got a friend.

I think you need another one.

Let's go.

Welcome to the club, Mr. Bradley.

Oh, that's funny. I don't recall applying for membership.

Well, let's just say you were drafted.

Well, let's just say I was pressed in service.

Look here, friend.

I've never belonged to a club in my life.

So yours better have a lot to offer.

Well, I think it does.

$20 ,000 for just a few hours' work.

And for you, Mr. Bradley, I'll even throw in a bonus.

You now very much need a way out of here.

I'll help you find it.

What do I have to do?

Just help get us inside that fence without being detected and then back out

again. How far is out?

You'll know that when you decide to join us.

In that case, I've already decided.

The answer is no.

I don't jump into things without knowing all the risks up front.

Thank you very much for the invitation, gentlemen. I prefer to join the Girl

Scouts.

Bradley.

One word from me and you'll never make that door.

You need my help too much to give that word, mister.

Otherwise you wouldn't have gone to all this trouble.

Bye -bye, girls.

Cool it. You can't let him leave here. I said cool it.

Now go read your poetry.

You know, you're right, Mr. Bradley.

I need you as much as you need me.

But you try anything funny, and I'll let our noble friend here cut you to

ribbons.

Okay.

How far is out?

We're head for Welvers Point.

The boat's going to pick us up there.

When? Tomorrow.

Sunday? Less people around the compound, right?

Why don't you give them a bit more information while you're about it?

Yeah, I don't trust security men, even if they are X.

Shut up, both of you.

You tell me something.

How wide is that pressure strip?

You're pretty well informed, aren't you? I asked you a question.

Well, let's just say it's jumpable.

Terrific. I got trophies for jumping.

If you're not carrying any metal.

What the hell does that mean?

What confuses you about that?

Guns, knives, coins, watches, rings. Even the nails in your boots will set

red alert.

You've really picked yourself a big job this time.

Like hell. Come in there unarmed.

What kind of a scene's that?

How are we supposed to cut through that fence without any wire cutters?

You're gonna need a hell of a lot more than wire cutters to get through that

fence. It carries a thousand volts.

Shit, a thousand volts?

Relax, man.

It's all being handled.

I think you're all raving bloody mad. You've said enough just now to

the entire operation. The moment he gets out of that door, he'll go to the

nearest policeman.

Sure, sure, with every cop in town looking for him.

All right, let's hear it from him, then. Yeah, man, say something.

I'll need some time to think about it.

I'll give you until midnight.

Where do we make contact?

At the Savoy.

Hopper, drive him back to town.

Chilton, go with him.

And Bradley, don't do anything to make my boys nervous, will you?

Well, as long as... What's your name?

Chilton. Major Chilton.

As long as Major Chilton doesn't start reciting poetry.

Short for Danielle, didn't Nelson tell you?

I would have been much easier to convince if he had.

One for Danny.

Well, what do you think?

I think this job might have its compensations.

Just down the street.

Oh, not yet, not yet. How much is it? 20 rands, but you don't have to. Don't

worry about it. Company money, honey.

Stay by that window.

For exhibitions, I charge more.

I'll see that you get it.

This isn't doing me any good at all.

Yeah, well, think of the money you're saving.

Oh!

Is this a private line, or does it work through a switchboard?

Private.

Good.

Thank you.

Oh, why don't you put something on?

Never had that request before. First time for everything.

Now, call Nelson as soon as I leave here.

Listen carefully.

Tell him it's Lewis and four others. L plus four.

Tomorrow, Sunday. I don't know the time yet, but I'll find out.

The important thing is that there's a boat off Walvis Point.

W -P, enough?

Sure, Walvis Point. Okay.

That means they'll eventually be making a break for it down the coast road, so

he should concentrate the patrols in that area.

Got that? Sure.

All right. Good girl.

Tell him I'll be in touch.

You still have 20 rents worth coming?

Credit me.

You get back to Lewis. I'll cover this end of the operation.

Just make sure you don't talk too much while you're covering it.

Mr. Nelson, Danielle.

Go ahead.

Yep.

Yes, I've got that.

Okay. We'll keep in touch with you.

I have to go now. Someone's at the door. Bye.

Just a minute.

Yes? A friend of mine told me I find a welcome here.

Twenty rand?

One time?

That sounds very reasonable.

My name is Bonnie.

Oh, yeah, cool.

Now, you won't make a noise, will you?

You'll be a good girl.

There's no money here.

I don't take money from whores.

Tell me about your last customer.

I picked him up in a bar.

I arranged for him to call. No, I never saw him before.

No?

Please, what do you want?

I want you to call Mr. Nelson.

Tell him that Bradley wants to see him urgently here at the Potter Follington

Hotel.

Got yourself a new member.

You just made a wise decision friend.

Get in.

world would have lost a very average whore. No.

It is Mr.

Nelson, isn't it?

Who are you?

Well, let's just say I'm a rather dissatisfied customer.

Nelson is dead.

Dead?

His body was found alongside the head of a prostitute early this morning.

I don't understand.

Well, it's better not to understand.

I mean, Nelson, along with his Danielle, as she was called, was in with Bradley

on the diamond theft.

Nelson knew that Bradley would eventually be caught.

So in order to save Faith, he killed himself and the girl.

You don't believe that.

I figure Prince was found on the knife.

And another matter.

The man answering Bradley's description was seen leaving the hotel earlier that

evening. But still no proof.

It's all the proof I need.

And I'll tell you something else, Chambers.

I think they've stolen diamonds before.

And I think that someone very close to Bradley, and to yourself, was used to

smuggle them out of the country.

You're not suggesting my daughter?

I dare, Chambers. My daughter has nothing to do with this.

You've no right keeping her here.

Your daughter was caught with a diamond around her neck. That gives me the right

to detain her for questioning or to turn her over to the police. Tell me

something, Chambers.

Which would you prefer?

Where were you when they gave out feelings, Mr. Webb?

Probably out chasing a diamond thief.

It'll be Mr. Robert.

All right, everybody down.

Those hard as driver mechanics, one step forward.

That all of you?

All right.

Now we're going to give you three things.

None of which you probably want.

A medical, some new uniforms, not too new, and your work assignments.

And you'll get all three in the building behind me. So jump to it!

Next, electrician.

All men sign for electrical work one step forward.

I've heard about Mr. Nolken, sir.

It's hard to believe.

Well, you give yourself a few years, Mr. Roberts, and you'll find it easier than

it means.

Sit down.

What do you know about security around here?

Quite a bit. I used to stand in for Bradley when he went on leave.

You know enough to be my deputy until I fly somebody in from Dakar?

I think so, sir.

You think so?

Yes, I'm sure.

Good. You just got yourself a promotion.

And this note was found in Nelson's desk. Something about a boat at Walbur's

Point. Do you know anything about that?

No, sir.

Only that Mr. Nelson ordered me to step up coastal patrols beginning today.

Any reason?

No, I thought maybe he suspected somebody was going to try and land.

Through our coastal radar.

Not even a fish could do that.

Unless, of course, there's a boat out at sea, ready to rush in and pick somebody

up. Have you stepped up patrol?

I do at 600 hours, sir.

You put everybody on red alert.

Right away.

Roberts.

Sir?

If you were planning to raid the mine... How would you come in?

I suppose there are many ways to approach it. No, just one.

And I want to find out which one it is.

May I come in?

Body for the fly.

I'm afraid I owe you an apology, Miss Chambers.

I wish it was more than words I could tell you where to put it.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

Look, it's just my job.

I mean, you have your work to do and I have mine, but I promise you I'm no more

or no less conscientious than you would be.

You're a model, aren't you?

Well,

I've seen your pictures in magazines.

You know, I do read magazines. Once in a while I go to the movies and

occasionally play.

Next you'll be telling me you're in a family.

No, I'm afraid I'm not that fortunate.

But you don't think how fortunate you made someone else?

Oh, sorry, that wasn't thoughtful.

Yes, well, you know, I'm afraid that you and I have been saying these uncalled

-for things to each other lately.

What do you say we call it a truce?

What are you looking for, Mr. Webb?

Confession? Oh, no, no. I'm convinced that you had nothing to do with stealing

that diamond.

Does that mean I can go?

Maybe I'll have somebody drive you to the airport after you answer a few

questions.

About what?

You know, I got a hunch that Bradley's going to work himself into the compound

again. You know, to pick up some diamonds that he or somebody else have

here. You know anything about that?

Nothing.

You mean he never mentioned it?

Not even the slightest hint, even when you and he were, uh... When we were

Intimate.

We talked about things.

Oh, not at all.

Of course.

How is Bradley to come back in here, Claire?

I told you, I don't know anything about it.

You know, I think we all have a button deep down inside us.

And all it wants us to do is find it and push it.

And it opens all the doors, letting out passions locked up deep inside us.

You know something, Claire?

I think I've got yours.

And I can push it and do things to you.

Do things to you that Bradley would never dream of doing.

But you should think of anything. You should go outside and tell the God about

it, okay?

But take my word for it, Ms.

Chambers, even without your help, the next time you see Bradley, he'll be

You fire like machine guns the guards have m16s they know how to use them they

could take your head off 200 yards Some bearded general in Guatemala once told

me the same thing We wiped out his whole company in five minutes flat right

Woody right piece of cake that was We're now exactly two and a half miles from

Desert's right over that ridge.

You're the tour guide.

All right.

From now on, a single file behind me.

You may not be able to spot them, but the ground phones are everywhere. Take

word for it. So walk softly.

And there's no talking. It was absolutely necessary.

Any questions?

Yes.

Perhaps you'd care to wipe our noses for us as well.

Kiss my ass, children.

Hey, geez, everything's checked now, though.

Well, maybe I better take it off my desk, huh?

could tell me.

What are you doing around here? Well, you know, it's been giving them some

problems, so they asked me to take it out driving around, you know?

I think I know what's wrong with it.

Ah, look at that, the filter.

They never change a thing.

Say, is it all right if I leave it here? You know why I go get another one?

Doesn't look as if you have much choice, unless you want to push it.

Chopper patrol.

There's a Block 5 hotbox.

Nearly below us.

Clear the block.

And if I see anything?

Me neither.

You think they saw us? I don't know.

What went wrong?

Choppers carry heat detectors. They may have picked up our body heat.

Why the hell didn't you warn us about that?

Forget it.

They didn't see us.

Probably just some hot bedrock.

Something like that.

Yeah.

Still, with Weber around, perhaps we'd better take a closer look.

Yeah.

You're probably right.

Wait a

second.

You wait a second.

When it comes to my life as someone else's there's nothing to discuss.

Yeah, that was lovely, boys.

We're still in business.

I joined you for a raid, not a massacre.

When we get out of here, you can take it up with your union.

Wasting enough time, let's haul ass.

What the hell are we looking for, anyway?

Would you believe Diamond?

Ask me. He webs off his rocket.

No comment.

Bradley isn't.

He's quite a bird, that bear.

What's that?

I'm not sure.

We're near the pressure strip.

How near?

Close enough to lose the hardware.

Everybody stays behind you till I locate it.

Metal check?

It's all done.

That line is the jumping point.

Five feet beyond that, everything's fine.

Anything left, and all hell will break loose.

All right, hold it.

Now what's he up to?

Pass him out.

Gas, Marv.

Where are they sent to stash those diamonds anyway?

We're not picking up any stashed diamonds.

We're going to hit the vaults.

The vaults?

That's right. For over 20 million dollars in diamonds.

20 million.

Hold on.

How come he knew about this and we didn't?

Because he planned it all, friend.

He what?

For over two long years.

Now pack those masks.

Your Santa Claus.

You bet.

Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere.

Why won't we talk about this? Because you talk too much. Balls, if you think

going to break that vault for a mere $20 ,000, you're mistaken. Quiet!

All right, $100 ,000 each.

We made a deal, Brad. We have less than an hour to get to that vault, and it can

only be opened within a 15 -second interval starting at 1 ,800 hours.

After that, nothing short of a nuclear explosion will even budge that door.

Now, do you still want to argue about price?

I think Brad's good enough for me.

Yeah, he too.

Well, just what else have you neglected to tell us? The boat at Walvis Point?

Strictly a red herring. A plane's picking us up in the desert. Now let's

it.

Hold it.

What about ours?

Not till we get inside.

Two killings are enough.

Four.

Counting Nelson and Danielle.

You killed Nelson?

Well, let's put it this way. I arranged it.

So you wouldn't have an alibi if this thing fails.

Like being able to tell the authorities that you were acting undercover to draw

us out.

They didn't have to die, Lewis.

Your insurance policy's been canceled, Mr. Bradley.

That's why I trust you so much.

We're behind schedule, aren't we?

Points to map reference 192 at 315.

That's the railroad pack, 30 miles northwest of here. Is there a road

it? Not much of one, but it could be managed.

Wait a minute. This stretch of terrain here would probably be the easiest to

cross. The sand is more compact here, fewer dunes, even less wind.

This here, 219 at 105.

Warwick Point.

Warwick Point.

In one way, out the other.

I'll get a patrol together and head him off, sir.

I'll go with you.

Sir?

Personal reasons.

The sand hill.

That's it.

The radar fail spot.

From here on, we crawl.

What do you think you're doing?

Oh, man, you scared me. Oh, I'm from electrical. You know, there's a short

high voltage fence.

No one told me anything about it.

Tell me your work order.

Oh, sure, man.

Take that gun, man. I'm allergic.

I don't see him.

Come on, Bopper, where are you?

There. There he is.

Nice work, Popper. Any trouble?

Nothing I couldn't handle. Okay. Which way to the diamond? The vault. You guys

know what to do. Get it done.

No, I'm not kidding. You get the vehicle?

Okay. Fill him in, buddy. Move it.

What the hell happened?

Everything went dead.

Some station's on fire.

Let me set up the emergency equipment.

Thank you

Hey, Bob, which one did you get?

That sweet little baby over there.

It was owned by a little old lady from Pasadena who only drove it on Sundays.

Take your work for it.

Hey, Bradley, thanks for the hundred grand.

You bet.

All right.

You need to take them. Chill. Don't shoot unless you have to. You've got to

quick.

Base to Delta One, do you read me?

Base to Delta One, do you read me?

We read you.

What's the problem?

The cut station's on fire. All hell's broken loose.

Turn the men around.

Sir? Move.

Clock in the vault. We're going to step a turn.

Cut. Ready.

Way to keep the big stuff, huh?

Hit it

What's wrong?

Webb must have changed the combination.

Nerd gas.

Oh, I hit the wrong number. Nerd gas?

Where's your mask?

The drawer.

Get it for him, Woods. He can always pray. Get his damn mask.

What the hell are we doing now?

We got less than two minutes to open that damn door.

Hell, if anyone's bought that generator, we're trapped in here.

What the hell are you doing?

The locking device sends out a signal to the computer. If there's any trouble,

the computer activates the nerve gas.

If I can pick up that signal, this will give me the new combination.

Can't you hurry it up?

Less than 30 seconds.

Come on!

Fifteen seconds!

That's it!

The war has started.

What's the guard?

Stay back!

Okay No

way

to make that cheap we'll have to get around behind it give them some fire

Cover me!

You'll never make it.

Grab the jeep.

Hey, man, how are you going? I got nothing.

What? My woman.

Are you out of your friggin' mind?

You bet.

Dammit, Bramage, you're just going to blow us up. Well, you go on ahead.

Let's go, baby. Quick.

Hurry. Come on.

What's going on? Everything. Just trust me.

I do.

Hurry. Get in.

Hey, man, we gotta get out of here.

I'm getting out of here.

It'd be a lot closer to that plane if we hadn't stopped for her. Aw, damn it,

Lewis. Hey, if it wasn't for her, I might not be here. That's right.

Aw, man, I mean, just stop being nice, guy.

Get down, Claire.

Jesus.

You're okay.

Come on.

Come on, Bopper. Move it.

Stay here.

Oh, sure. You?

It's

that

nice of him.

Nice little land roller.

There is dead Bradley that plane isn't gonna wait forever

No, no. We can't stay. Take a break. I'm okay.

Take a break.

Christ.

Come on, Bradley. We haven't got time for a picnic.

You want her, you carry her.

Well, why don't you go on without us? We'll meet you there.

Yeah, sure. You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Leave you here with the diamonds.

Well, if it makes you feel better, take the diamonds with you.

Go on, Lewis. I trust you.

We'll see you at the plane.

Now, without this, you won't.

Because without this compass, you'll wander around in circles until you drop.

Why don't you take a load off your feet, Lewis?

You know something, Bradley?

You're either the horniest jerk I've ever met, or you're the dumbest.

They lose four good men back there trying to get this stuff out, and you're

going to screw it all up because of her.

I'd push the mine because of her, Lewis. Knock it off.

You knock it off.

Shit.

Two lumps of the sugar can get all the ass in the world.

Thank you.

Like I said, Lewis, knock it off.

Ground patrol, they're making for the dunes.

Head them off.

No, but I figured these diamonds should bring us to the neighborhood of $8

million.

That's not a bad neighborhood to live in.

Bradley.

Think they've seen us?

Bet on it.

This bridge would give us some protection.

We'll need a hell of a lot more in this bridge.

Okay, stay down, baby.

Now, if anything should happen to them, we force you to come. Like a hostage,

you know?

I'll have to believe you.

Well, friend, here they come.

We could ask them to give up, Mr. Webb.

We could, but I don't think they'd hear us.

Stay here!

Get down!

One landed near here. Spotted us on the way in.

You get to that jeep?

Well, there's only one way to find out.

All right.

Can you fly it? Right now, I can fly a rock.

Go on, run for it!

Hey!

Journey the first switch on your right on the overhead panel and hit the fuel

switch on the dash. It's the only red one. What about you?

I'll be there now. Run for it!

I don't know.

Hold your fire.

Where did they go?

Oh, I don't know.

Some place without seeing.

Something got cut.

Small world, Robert.
