Diamond Cartel

What we see

is sometimes never is.

A mind is a wondrous thing.

And if you're guessing

you'll probably say

this was California,

and from the distance

it could well be.

But the world I come from,

this world,

is far from California.

This is Southern Siberia.

The former Soviet union.

Rich in oil, but also

the deserts of Asia.

Your freedom in this place,

is the ultimate bargaining chip

for those who own it.

Remaining alive,

that's a tax paid

on a daily basis.

It's a tax

that keeps rising.

Like a shadow, this tax,

it never leaves your sight.

The iron heel

you're born under,

is the heel

by which you die.

Mr. Lou.

As we've agreed,

I'll be forwarding

the diamonds to Boris.

After that we pass

the package on to

amoto San.

I've arranged to ship it

by boat.

In three day it will be

in Hong Kong.

Your guys are the best

lapidaries in the world.

Tony, our guys are

the best lapidaries,

and your guys are

the best buyers

in America.

I hope you've

got everything

organized already.

Brother, you know my guys.

You know you can

count on them.

This is not

their first time.

The only person

worth trusting was

the most dangerous.

And even he was at behest

of the wolves he employed.

The one thing you learn

as quick as taking

your first breath,

is that nothing is ever

what it seems.

The flash, the glitzs,

the stars

only shine for those who chose

not to see beyond them.

Mussa?

I've been

expecting your call.

Did something

unusual happen?

No. Nothing unusual.

No. I'm studying the stars.

You know, one of the most

brilliant of them all.

This one here.

My eastern star.

I don't have it.

And how can you be so sure

i have this star of east?

So, what's the juice?

Because of our relationship,

I'm willing to sell you

the star of east

for half price.

Thirty million us.

Thirty million f***ing dollars

from me? What do you want

from me?

You want cash?

Then make the f***ing deal.

Good evening.

You again.

Have you seen this girl?

Stop there.

I want you to write down

what I tell you.

Don't worry.

I'll remember it.

Indulge me.

I want you to write it down,

and keep it in your pocket,

a**hole.

Uh, let me explain.

When she worked here

i was planning to come in

and propose,

but she disappeared

unexpectedly.

Has she been

around since then?

No.

No!

No!

Now, listen.

I'm gonna write

this down for you.

She's never been

back here.

Get it.

She walked out the door,

and we haven't seen her since.

Is that clear?

You've been

coming into my place

for two years.

You're so fixated,

you ask the same question

time after time

even though we keep saying,

"we haven't seen the b*tch".

Get out of here!

Sorry.

Thanks a lot.

Ruslan was not

the brightest star in the room.

But he never gave up...

On me, that is.

Neither did arman.

My two sidekicks.

My two lovers.

My one dilemma.

Baby, just come see me.

Just come by.

I've a nice surprise.

You're nicer than usual.

What's the occasion?

Are you the surprise?

I'm talking to my daughter.

How long have

you been answering

to the name "sweetheart"?

-I wouldn't have thought--

-you listen, lady. When I want

your opinion...

I'll ask for it.

So Mike promised to bring

the stone today.

Okay.

It's my star...

Of the east.

Where'd you plan to meet?

It will be

at the factory,

as usual.

I put the boys there.

There'll be no trouble.

We'll be there

in three hours.

You're not going.

What do you mean?

She is.

Why?

It's my... decision.

Look at his face.

See I was right.

He's happy.

Have you lost your mind?

You forget who took you

under his wing...

After your father died?

Who fed you...

All these years?

I remember.

But I seemed to be hungry

no matter how much I ate...

In your place, mussa.

In my place?

I remember.

You had the look

of a wolf cub

two years ago...

When I punished your

little girlfriend, aliah.

You owe me.

Hmm. They're all

$10,000 bills.

I didn't know

they made them.

Yes, they're rare...

Not available

unless required...

By those who can afford.

So, my repeat is

for the last time,

Mike is bringing

Mr. Lou's diamond to

the abandoned factory.

You'll have

a security team,

and catastroff will

lead the way.

Catastroff.

Catastroff.

Huh?

So where are you going?

With her.

And who will you meet?

I said, who will you meet?

Mr. Lou.

Why the f*** is

he talking about Mr. Lou?

You're meeting Mike

at the factory.

Try to focus on this.

I'm giving you

30 million bucks,

let's not f*** this up.

I got it. I'm not a fool.

-Catastroff.

-Huh?

Oh. Right.

Antonio, time to work.

I was told you took this job

because you are looking

for your girlfriend.

Good luck.

You won't find her here.

How did you loose

your girl friend?

Believe me.

It won't happen

second time.

You sure?

Good luck to you.

Mr. Mike loves blondes.

Just go.

So,

you want me to make

a deal with you?

Khazar,

let's forget the past.

It's only business.

You want me to take you

seriously as a businessman?

Now, you know

there's something

in it for me.

What's in it for you?

I get to pick up aliah.

Then I'm gone.

All this for a girl?

Big mistake.

Just stay focused

on revenge for

your fathers death.

Arman's lust to avenge

the death of his father

was eclipsed

by his love for me.

In a hopeless world

sometimes the smallest light,

shines the brightest.

Antonio.

Open the door

for the lady.

The siberian definition

of a blood diamond

is where 30 souls

suicide themselves

in 30 seconds for it.

A steep price to pay,

but in this part of the world,

it's an even trade.

Last time,

mussa sent arman.

This time I guess

we got a...

Very, very beautiful

young lady.

Yeah.

I like your

sense of humor, Mr. Mike.

I just hope you brought

the money we all agreed on...

- Right?

- I may be beautiful,

but I'm all business.

Now, then... the diamond.

Hey, b*tch, let's

see the money.

I hope it's, uh,

30 million exactly.

Right?

Oh, gentlemen.

After all this time

you still don't trust us?

It's 30 million.

And how do I know

that the stone is real?

Let me see it.

Is this your

first transaction?

Nothing we do is fake.

This is real!

Look at it!

You see, when you're

dealing with us,

everything you see is real.

Hmm.

When laughing hyenas

come out to play,

all bets are off.

Our particular breed of hyena,

eat their own kind.

What you call

"a massacre",

we call it

"fun day at the zoo".

He wants to blow you.

Hey, baldie.

Wanna give me

a blow job?

Is that it?

Suck this!

The best business

is always

clean business.

Ready?

This is serious sh*t.

This is serious sh*t.

In your place, mussa.

You whore, get what

you came for?

Mussa's gonna love

the way you look with

a bullet in your head.

Now, mussa

will have to update

your portrait.

When the devil

collects,

he sends your friend

or your relative.

A chilling reminder

not to be late on the rent.

But not to mussa.

Blood made no impression.
