move back and then blow it.

I swear he knew nothing about it.

It doesn't matter anymore.

As long as he gets them out.

Hold it there, King!

Pull it, King!

Sonderditch and nearby mines

have fallen

while shares in unaffected gold mines

have soared.

Johannesburg stock exchange has

closed the floor in the interests...

King...

Tie her up.

King,

if you hold the door back, I'll

make the connection from this side.

Okay.

Push it, King!

Hold it there, King!

Now.

King! My arms!

Can you reach the igniter, King?

Can you reach it?

Burn it, King.

Burn it.

For Christ's sake, burn it.

Burn it!

King!

You go, my friend.

King...

King...

King...

He did it!

Oh, God.

He didn't? Did he, Pops?

Is he all right?

We don't know yet.

...Slater sealed off the flood tide

with an underground explosion.

We felt the shock here

a few moments ago.

We must hope the men

and the mine have been saved.

Torremolinos had the celebrities,

St Tropez sets the summer scene,

but Villajoyosa on the Costa Blanca

has the escape route to El Dorado.

Here you can sip your sangria,

watching the fishermen as the sun...

Rod.

Slater, you're a maniac.

Okay, put him inside.

We found this down there.

It's King's.

It's gold,

I hate the lousy stuff.

If I could get my arms

out of these things

I'd squeeze the life out of you.

You still can't say it,

can you?

I'll say it for you.

I love you.

Wilbur Smith

Wilbur Addison Smith (born 9 January 1933) is a Zambian-born, novelist specialising in historical fiction about the international involvement in Southern Africa across four centuries, seen from the viewpoints of both black and white families. An accountant by training, he gained a film contract with his first published novel When the Lion Feeds. This encouraged him to become a full-time writer, and he developed three long chronicles of the South African experience which all became best-sellers. He still acknowledges his publisher Charles Pick's advice to "write about what you know best", and his work takes in much authentic detail of the local hunting and mining way of life, along with the romance and conflict that goes with it. As of 2014 his 35 published novels had sold more than 120 million copies, 24 million of them in Italy. more…
