Original subtitles

Place your bets, please.

No more bets.

Where is it?

How much did she drop this time?

50 ,000 bucks.

You do that again, and all the doctor damages.

You pay.

Yeah, I'll pay.

Ben?

20?

And damages.

Now get out!

Where did you get it, Wiley?

Playing the numbers.

I didn't send the cash to the bank. They sent it to me.

You stole it.

My habit has ruined you.

They're not all they see.

They don't all come to see the Big Falls. What are they looking for, sir?

Diamonds.

I -D -B.

Illicit diamond buying.

The Big Falls is a good drop spot where the money comes to meet the ice.

Wasn't there a hijack in Namibia? Yeah.

The gang escaped into the bush.

They'll turn up here.

And so will the money.

You think or you know?

I got a nose for it.

Hey, look.

There's one of them.

He's in Gamma Cloud.

You want to take him in?

Andy!

Andy!

How's it, Sutcliffe?

Yeah.

What are they pushing you out of, are you?

Pollyanna. And Inspector Nadiri has taken over.

You'll be coming in.

Our country?

I've farmed it for 30 years.

Buried my wife here.

Our country too.

We'll be looking after you as long as you want to stay.

You having some trouble, Cliff?

I just thought it slipped out of my hand.

Well, he's not talking much.

There's no evidence against you.

Come on in.

Himiga's got nothing to hide.

Oi, oi.

Okay, relax.

Take it easy.

It's not a raid, it's just a wrecking. There's only three whiskies at my table.

You've got a bottle there.

I want dirty whisky and clean glasses.

He'll have a lime on the rocks.

Don't you drink on duty?

I don't drink.

Cliff doesn't drink on duty.

He doesn't believe in duty.

It's the bushfire.

What are you putting in the whisky nowadays, Cliff, from the scotch?

The whisky don't change.

The labels do.

Someday someone's going to catch you up. Catch?

First

one

of the day.

Yeah, since we came in.

What's it this time, Andy? A crime of passion or a friendly neighborhood

How did you find me?

I was told you come here too often.

Chief Inspector.

It's the company.

Cliff, meet my replacement, Inspector Nellieri.

You'll find, Inspector, everybody ends up at Diomica.

When there's nowhere else to go.

I was telling my affection officer that the Diamond Gang heading this way.

Name of Stern, Dodo Roberts, Fritz Muldoon.

Claudia Brigg.

You know any of them, Cliff?

I know everyone.

Them I don't.

You don't know those names?

Maybe I know them if I see them.

What can you see through the bottom of the glass?

It needs a refill.

If they do come here and you don't see them, we'll see them and we'll see you.

Everyone comes here in the end.

Don't they, Crapshaw?

Have you got your answer?

Crapshaw says if I don't know them, he will.

You'd better tell us when they come.

I'll be well out of it in a week.

Any idea where you're going?

England doesn't want us back.

No room.

We're colonial or an embarrassment.

Nowhere. Stay?

This is the best knower and we know it.

Tell me.

What's in here?

I lost the key.

I don't know.

You must know.

Give me that.

You'll close it.

Does it like drink?

Does it like gambling?

Or does it like Africa?

So do I.

The way it was.

Let me join you.

There's no chair.

I'll find one.

Find one along the way away and sit on it.

You shouldn't drink alone.

You're here.

For a guy who runs a bar, you're not very sociable.

I can't choose who comes in. Only who I throw out.

Back to the bar, Ryan.

Hello, Mr. Clean.

Last of the dandies.

Get her a chair, then get it.

And I thought you weren't sociable.

He isn't.

Why do I have the pleasure of playing Chris?

Oh, no such luck.

Scheduled flight here.

I wouldn't want to see you, would I?

You wouldn't, Sally? Tell Tony one clean glass.

I was doing a wildlife spread in Kenya, the last of the rhinos.

I thought, I think it's on the way back.

It isn't.

A detour, then.

Dead end.

Anyway, I thought I'd be how you were.

You see?

Now you see you can be on your way.

After all that's coming up.

That glass doesn't look that clean.

It is.

A bit of polish on the arm, too.

I remember a man who built a dam.

He could stop the whole Zambezi River.

He's done a water buffalo with a blow between the eyes.

Who he?

Don't bullshit me. Where he? Why he?

Omega's got two rules.

Nobody's got a past.

Nobody's got a future.

Which means you want to live now.

Which means being a lush here.

Why, Cliff?

You go back to the hotel, Sally.

Okay. As long as you go with me. I've got a bar to run.

Cliff, get your hands off of me.

Cliff! Get out of the pathway.

Son of a bitch.

Cliff, you're hurting me.

Pass

that

hut. You'll find the road.

What's that?

A king's hut?

That's where I sleep.

King -sized hut for a pint -sized heart.

I sleep alone.

Oh, yeah?

Hello, boy.

Get yourself off on him?

I ride alone.

Oh, big deal.

I come all this way and you don't give a damn.

What gets you high is a sip of scotch.

You're embalmed, Cliff. Cliff is stiff.

We haven't got a feeling left.

Goodbye, Emily.

I won't be back, you know.

You'll be back.

Botted bush snake.

Why don't you wrap yourself around that?

I'll get the doctor. No.

Take these.

You did get the diamonds?

Yeah. They got me.

Help me, Cliff.

Not my line.

Please know you're coming.

Help me.

You make it around the back way in.

I'll go around the front.

Check it out.

Why aren't you behind the bar?

It's me day off.

What's having a beer to having a beer? Get on the phone, ring the chief

inspector. Tell him he's right, they're here.

Anyone in the back room?

No one.

Hey, give me that beer.

Me holiday.

It's an Irish holiday.

You know what's an Irish holiday?

What? Any day in Irish month, there it is.

Ciao, Groucho.

You know why my only friends are a bottle of this? The rest of the monkeys

know have pink faces.

And I've got to choose every time.

Give me a monkey gun.

So long, Crap Shot.

That's somebody.

Over there. Hide.

Came in here?

Guy in a bloody jacket?

No.

Drinks, gentlemen.

No.

on the house.

Who are you?

A friend in need.

Bottle of scotch, two glasses.

What about him?

How about him?

I'm an Irish hero.

I let someone else get into the fire.

Are you alright, Cliff?

How are you?

Thanks.

Why did you? Nice place.

About the bodies.

It was.

You need a man on the door.

Protection. You've got a point.

You.

Me.

Where's the rest of them?

Flying around.

One.

If there's more, send them along.

And the diamonds?

Ask them.

And take them away. I run a bar.

Can I leave you alone for ten minutes?

He came back.

Tuxedo warrior.

When will you ever learn?

It's the story of my life.

Are you not telling?

Everywhere you go, there's a war on.

And it's not somebody else's war. It's yours.

Oh, you don't get in it, but you make it.

You love trouble, which is fine because there's going to be plenty of it. Now,

sit down.

This gives you gangrene.

Where are those diamonds?

He's hurt.

You find anything?

No.

Nor did I.

Really? Search them both. They're clean.

And, uh, no diamonds?

That's what I said, Inspector.

No diamonds.

You search them.

And then take them back to the station.

I know I wanted to come, but even I... Listen, you dragged my ass out of bed to

play poker.

Now, the casinos are closed and this is the only game in town. Do you

understand?

Why are you following us?

I've never seen you before, sir.

I've seen you.

Wiley, take me away from here.

Wiley, let's go now.

You said you had to play poker.

Let's go.

Welcome.

We were just passing through and heard you had a poker game here. It never

stopped. Cut in, cut out.

It's run for three years.

Let's go, Wiley.

You wanted it.

You play it.

Are you serious?

You're serious.

I'll cut you in.

Clear.

Thanks for getting them for me.

You're not getting this.

You owe me.

Cut them in. I know them.

You're clear. I know them.

I'll play these.

Cut me in one.

You never close?

You sleep in the barn?

Every man's ambition.

Cliff, I didn't know you were here.

I never knew I'd see you, believe me.

I'll blow you a kiss.

I'll blow you a kiss.

Why did you sock her straight on the jaw?

She's a friend, an old friend. Oh, I could see that.

A blonde.

A dumb blonde.

A dumb ancient Brit blonde.

What do you want to do? Skinny dip in her hair?

Shut up.

You know, there's always a body around where you are. You've either slugged him

or blown him a kiss. Well, I'm not here to increase your body count. The

number's on your bedpost. Oh, Chris!

I can stop that.

What? Stop it.

Me.

Damn beezy.

I stopped it. All by yourself, too.

I worked the stress factors.

How much that wall could take before it broke.

Then a million men came along and poured some concrete onto your calculation.

It worked. It held.

It stopped the river.

Seven men fell into the concrete while we were pouring it.

They're still there.

How do you know it'll always hold?

It will.

And if it broke?

It won't.

No more than we will.

It's forever.

And if I have to leave you?

Water over a dam.

You won't.

I'd never let you.

Well, do you ever kiss in a red sun?

Mmm, once in a blue moon.

Why?

You force me, and I won't.

And you still do, and I will.

And you think you've won, but you haven't. You've lost.

You're losing me.

For a moment, yes, you get me, and I love it.

But then it's over.

And I remember, I... I hate you. I didn't want it. You made me. I hate you!

Let

me

some more.

That's it.

I said let me some more.

You've got to know where to stop.

If I did, by hell, I wouldn't be with you.

Why the hell are you with me?

I shouldn't be.

It kills me.

I can't live... I love you, darling.

So, there's no problem.

I hate you sometimes.

You make me. You tell me. I have to have men. I tell.

Don't count on me.

You won't leave?

Even if I had to?

You ugly. You know nothing about me. You told me.

A woman passing through on holiday in Africa.

I don't ask questions. I thank God it's you.

And if I had to go, because you're killing what I am, what I was before

I saw you here.

You won't go.

You don't need me.

You go on.

You won't go.

What sort of a city job? I didn't say a city job. I said a bank job. Bank job?

You and who's on it?

Someone like Roberts here. Roberts? He couldn't rob Roy.

Do you want a coat? Yeah, sure.

And if I had to go, because you're killing what I am.

But I was before I saw you here.

Hector. Little number I picked up in Kyoto.

You know why I left it with you last time?

To warn the competition to lay off.

That I'd be back.

You got her bad.

Come back for more?

I have to see Cliff.

You're a sucker for punishment.

Who are you?

Who, me?

The free gal who paddles her own canoe.

Don't go in there, honey. He's mean and broody.

And you came back for more.

True.

Next time I'll carry an elephant gun and get that incredible hunk.

You'll be back.

And back again, like you know way.

I'd rather be laid by a forklift truck.

Don't go in there, honey.

Don't.

Why?

What if you don't know by now?

No one can tell you.

So long, sister.

I had to come.

You had to go once.

Listen to me.

I loved you.

I still love you.

I'm a long way away.

A long time ago.

I'm here.

I didn't know you were still here.

Wiley and I, we had to get out suddenly.

Wiley, what's he to you?

My husband.

Married? I told you, Cliff.

I had to have a man I could tell.

I could run.

Who needed me.

Who needs you?

You never needed anyone.

It could build a dam, stop a river, walk on boiling water right across the fall.

What would I in that?

Who was I?

Somebody you could have whenever you wanted.

Your body, your bitch on call.

I was bruised, beaten, sick for you.

So sick I had to go away to get into my own skin again.

And where I went, there was Wiley.

He needed me.

He cared for me.

He let me be.

He had a whole life going in the city, ready to take me in.

I had his...

Friends, concerts, culture.

Civilization.

Bach, not the bush.

And I didn't have to join.

He let me take it or leave it. I chose.

Anything I wanted to be, any way I went, Wiley loved me.

He was rich.

He worked in a bank.

I locked it at the table. I couldn't...

Stop. I had to lose.

He's ruined now because of me.

I couldn't leave him now.

Come here.

You dare?

Tell me you're a good little wife when you're in my room in the night.

Oh, Cliff!

I love you.

I'm here to tell you that, but this way forcing me. That's why I had to go!

I love you.

But I will never stay with you.

Good God.

Leaves in the night.

Why didn't you wake me?

Wake you?

I didn't hear a thing. It must have been those pills you gave me last night.

Didn't you take any?

I must have been really tired. I slept right through.

Well, whoever it was really took a hell of a chance.

Any ideas?

No.

I don't know.

Someone looking for the money.

The man at the Omega knows.

You mean Cliff?

No, not lover boy.

The meathead on the door.

Tell Lisa.

There's nothing to tell.

Nothing.

When you married me, you said, I'm not going to tell you everything, Wiley.

Candor's deadly.

Confessions kill.

Take me as I am.

And I did.

And didn't I make you happy?

With him?

You talk about him.

I hate him.

That look you gave him. You never looked at me like that. Don't ask, Wiley. He

wasn't like that.

You put him there because he loves you like I do.

I mean, you pick him and you make him an alcoholic and a criminal.

Don't say that.

You're no criminal.

Sure, I'm no criminal. I just write programs.

I mean, crime has clean hands.

Get out!

Nice visit, this?

Or are you moving?

It's just a...

Disagreement with my wife.

It started as a pillow fight and developed.

I didn't know how to stop.

Lucky I never married. I get enough violence.

Marriage is the best when they're physical.

If you're physique, ma 'am, I'd believe anything.

Except no one broke in here last night.

I walked in.

The lock has been jammied. I must report that.

What do you think they were looking for?

Bag of $100 bills?

We're tourists.

We carry traveler's checks.

And $100 bills.

I saw you with a stack at the Omega.

It's play money.

I played it.

You got any other rings?

Diamond rings?

Only a sapphire.

I'd have thought you were for diamonds.

Not my style.

You know, when people come here with money, they usually come to buy

Illicit diamonds.

The ones that fall through the hole in the beer's pocket.

Diamonds aren't our style.

By the way, I picked up your passports at reception.

Don't worry, it's just a routine check.

And if we want to leave?

The country?

You just ask me.

It would be a pleasure to escort such a physical couple.

Please, you stay at the hotel until my investigations are complete.

You like it here.

See the falls. The elephant, the lion, the leopard.

The liberty?

Like the statue?

Yeah.

Feel free to stay right here.

Hold. Hold me.

You will?

Yes.

You do?

Yes. Love you.

That man at the Omega.

Yes.

You have to tell me.

No. I must know. Look, Wiley, I said, don't ask.

I love you. I'll never leave you. That's all.

Please.

Don't catch me.

I'll rot in an African jail. No.

I won't leave you.

I'll stay by you.

You say that.

I will.

I swear to you, Wiley.

I will.

They may have taken our passports, but I've still got the money.

And we can buy our way over the border.

You die.

Fix it a lot.

Change your mind?

Have a drink?

I want the diamonds.

Then I'll have two.

When we close this place down, I don't have the diamond.

Agreed. It was here, Martin.

And he was too dead to tell if we put them.

You ask Crap Shot. See what he says.

Get that monkey out of here.

What do you think we put in there, anyway?

Want to talk cocktails or something?

Oh, for God's sake.

Boy, I'm a helpless brute.

He wants to move in, Crap Shot.

Crap Shot shoots crap.

His homie's in the bush.

He likes it here.

There's nothing in there except a drop of gargle.

Give me a glove.

We're for having a toot, Squire, not for wiping you down.

It's filthy here.

I want

your

passport. Why?

You are not leaving here until I find those diamonds. You have no right to.

Really?

Your passport.

You carry it.

Ready to leave.

It keeps my pocket in shape.

That poker game of yours is illegal.

Long time illegal.

Play hasn't stopped in three years.

I'm stopping it. When you take over.

A day after tomorrow.

And I'm jailing you if I don't get those diamonds. What diamonds?

You've got 48 hours.

Nothing at all. They're the latest product of Western technology.

What's that?

Organic oil.

I'll have one.

Right,

can you have one of those?

It's ridiculous.

Place your bets now, please.

Drop spring.

Who asked you?

Aren't you Lisa's husband?

What is it with her? An addiction?

It's none of your business.

She's throwing away more than money.

Yeah, I don't have to explain my wife to you.

Had to be that.

No more bets now?

Zero.

Bloody zero.

I have nothing to say to you.

Oh, yes, you do.

I just left Cliff and he's killing himself because of you.

What can I do? Leave him.

To you?

I lost.

But that doesn't mean I want him to lose, too.

I've seen your hands. You can't hold them steady. How are you going to hold

Why don't you mind your own business?

What you can't have, you destroy.

You'd rather let him rot than give him up. That's a lie. If you were self

-destructive, who'd care?

But what if your husband and me, you have to hurt us, gamble our lives, lose

I don't play to lose.

I play to forget I lost him.

I told him we were closed.

He said he has to see you.

I don't have to see him.

Even if it's for Lisa?

Look, I know... I know there was something between you and my wife.

But I don't want to trade on it.

You're in banking, aren't you?

So trade.

You're stupid, lucky, or a crook.

Maybe a little bit of each.

Listen, people say that you can fix anything, anyone in this town.

Now, your good friend the cop has taken our passports, said something about a

routine checker.

So why worry if your conscience is clear?

We need to get over the border.

You help us.

And you can keep the money.

So Lisa did marry a crook.

Hipsqueak, what do you say?

Hipsqueak says, no way.

There's $10 ,000 there.

Why don't you put it back where it came from? Why won't you help us?

Right now, I may need to help myself over the border.

It's Lisa.

Could be. I did know her.

She forgot.

No, she didn't forget.

And that's why you won't help us.

You see these rows of matches?

There are two rules.

You can pick any number on a single row.

One, two, or up to five.

But you mustn't be left with the last match.

That is a stupid bar game.

You play it?

Yeah, a guy taught me in Aaron Bard.

If I get the last match, I'll get you over the border.

Our games are for bad people.

Two and two.

One and two.

Over the border.

I'm not going to take that match.

Take the money.

Take the match.

You want Lisa.

And you want me behind bars.

You've got it wrong, my friend.

She's your problem.

You drop this.

You're a problem.

Wiley, I'm so sorry.

No one's fault, you thought.

He's waiting.

I love you, Wiley.

All you've done for me.

I need some sleep.

Are you sending me to him?

We'll get away tomorrow.

Forget all this.

But you wouldn't leave me.

How could I live with myself?

You do have to sleep.

I have to thank you for saving my husband.

Anyone would have done it.

You did.

I didn't want to.

You did.

Cliff.

I gambled because of you.

I gambled to forget you. I can't stand losing you.

And you drink because of losing me.

I drink because I like a bottle.

Nothing to do with me?

Nothing. You wouldn't have the power.

You're right to despise me.

But you can't think worse of me than I do.

I play because I want to destroy myself, not you.

And now Wiley's ruined himself because of me.

And you.

Oh, God, I didn't mean to.

I loved you, that's all.

I couldn't stay with you, that's all.

I always believed you.

I shouldn't. Believe me.

You want to get Wiley over the border.

I want you.

Tonight.

Tonight.

And tomorrow, away with Wiley over the border.

Tonight.

Every night.

You Blow me a kiss

Ride with me to the falls.

That's a mountain.

With ten times around the world alone, better make it lucky eleven.

Howdy.

It's dirty in here.

Tomorrow's my last day.

I hear Inspector Nadiri gave you a hard time.

I'm sorry.

He had a good teacher.

So what are you going to do now?

And you?

Well, I don't have a pocket full of diamonds.

Nor do I.

And I don't have your passport.

Give.

You give.

How did you get it off your friend?

I'm still the boss. Until tomorrow.

And if I find the diamonds, your pension?

I find a passport and a safe way across the border. Three passports.

Too much.

Wiley and Lisa go with me.

You know, I can understand you taking her.

But him?

Three. Cliff, they're looking for a bank thief.

Computers, modern crime technology.

The photo identikit.

Looks like Wiley.

Diamonds, three.

And if one man gets shot, trying to escape?

my friend that is your problem mine is diamonds

three passports there's the headquarters it'll be difficult

at the big tree fork near the border at four we'll be there and the diamonds

you'll be there alone

I always did fancy a few debaclers.

To keep my old bones warm.

Lisa, keep on down the track till you see the river. Over it and you're over

border. I'll get the passport.

I'll come with you. You do what I say.

I'll come with you.

You do what I say.

Always the same.

You're alone?

The trees come here.

It's too open here.

We'll take a walk, find a safe place.

Did I say safe?

Rhino.

You ever charged by a mad rhino?

Uh -uh.

I would.

I found myself on top of a thorn tree, and I didn't know how to climb.

Fear?

Inspiration.

Oh, this is safe enough.

The passport's handy.

You don't need that.

Here.

You didn't take one for the girl?

All there. They'll keep you.

Now give me Wiley's passport back and you go with her.

I can't do that.

And if I make you, you'll thank me.

You'll have her and I'll have my criminal to prove that I'm still alone.

You.

You're not alone.

I thought we were.

Drop that gun. Drop it!

What are you talking about, man?

I'm arresting a criminal.

I saw him give you the diamonds for the passports.

A brilliant trap, though I say it myself.

Now I'm going to arrest you.

You would never trap your friend.

I believe in the law, Inspector.

It's the same for everyone.

Here.

You have them.

my guns!

Back off!

Back! Back!

Don't be a fool.

I thought we were on the same force.

Hey, run!

All yours.

You have the diamonds?

You let us go!

Take me with you. I can't. I've got to go back to my park, boy.

Come with us.

You said... Straight on for the border bridge, past the falls.

Right, okay.

Right, we were both dead.

don't worry they'll make it i mean men like that always do

that's me always

you could never live with him

You leave me, Cliff, eh?

That's what they all say.

How many have I got left?

One round.

You save it for me, eh?

What do you mean?

I like it here.

Try and draw that fire so he can get away.

Do you want to swim across the falls or back to Africa?

Leave me, eh?

You know Crapshot's right.

It's not better across the water.

Thank you.
