[ TICKING ]

A LATE WORD JUST IN
FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE

REGARDING THIS MORNING'S
UNEXPLAINED OCEAN DISASTER.

AERIAL AND OCEAN SURVEY TEAMS,
AS YET,

HAVE FOUND NO SURVIVORS
AND NO BODIES

FROM THE MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION,

WHICH RIPPED APART
THE PLEASURE BOAT LEONORA

AT 8:05 THIS MORNING.

OFFICIALS ARE SPECULATING
ON THE POSSIBILITY

-THAT THE LEONORA WAS ENGAGED
-[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

...IN A HEAVY SMUGGLING
ACTIVITY KNOWN TO BE --



COME IN.

THEY THINK I WAS GONNA
DOUBLE-CROSS YOU, BERLINGER.

WHERE'D YOU FIND HIM?

A MOTEL UP THE COAST, FIXING
TO GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

WELL, IT WAS THE EXPLOSION.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING.

YOU FOUND NONE OF THE DIAMONDS
ON HIM?

THEY WENT DOWN.

THE COURIER HAD THEM
CHAINED TO HIS WRIST.

THE EXPLOSION
BLEW US BOTH OVERBOARD.

I'M LUCKY TO STILL BE ALIVE.

DON'T BE TOO SURE OF THAT,
HOFFMAN.

GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.

FORTY-EIGHT HOURS FROM NOW,
THIS MAN, GEORGE BERLINGER --

MILLIONAIRE MANUFACTURER



AND THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST
DEALER IN STOLEN GEMS --

IS SCHEDULED TO TRANSFER
A HUGE SHIPMENT OF DIAMONDS

TO AN UNDERWORLD FIGURE
FOR $75 MILLION.

AT THIS MOMENT,

ONLY ONE MAN IN THE WORLD KNOWS
WHERE THOSE DIAMONDS ARE,

AND HE IS BERLINGER'S FORMER
LIEUTENANT, FREDERICK HOFFMAN,

WHO STOLE THEM, HID THEM,

AND IS NOW BEING TORTURED
BY BERLINGER

TO REVEAL THEIR WHEREABOUTS.

CONVENTIONAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

ARE UNABLE TO GUARANTEE
THE RECOVERY OF THE JEWELS.

YOUR MISSION, JIM,
IF YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO RECOVER THOSE DIAMONDS,
SEIZE THE $75 MILLION IN CASH,

AND PUT BERLINGER
OUT OF BUSINESS FOR GOOD.

THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

[ HISSING ]

[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]

GOOD, BARNEY.

$75 MILLION
IS A LOT OF MONEY, JIM.

WELL, THE SYNDICATE'S
GONE IN VERY HEAVILY

FOR STOLEN GEMS, CASEY.

WITH INTERNATIONAL
CURRENCY SO UNSTABLE,

THEY MAKE
A PERFECT INVESTMENT.

NOW, THIS IS A DUPLICATE

OF ONE OF THE MORE
IMPORTANT DIAMONDS

WHICH WERE STOLEN.

IT'S AN OLD MINE-CUT.

BERLINGER'S MAN HAWKS
HAS ENOUGH OF AN EYE

TO RECOGNIZE
ITS UNIQUE QUALITY.

BARNEY?

THE GAS IS HARMLESS, JIM --
EVEN UNDERWATER.

MM-HMM.

AND HOW ABOUT BERLINGER'S
INSIDE MAN, SIMMONS?

CASEY'S ALREADY
CHECKED ME OUT ON THE MASK.

JIM, HOW CAN WE BE SURE

THAT HOFFMAN ACTUALLY HID
THE DIAMONDS UNDERWATER?

WELL, WE CAN'T BE, CASEY,

BUT EVERYTHING POINTS
IN THAT DIRECTION.

HOFFMAN'S
AN EXPERT SCUBA DIVER.

WE FOUND HIS GEAR
HIDDEN ON THE BEACH.

APPARENTLY,
BERLINGER AGREES WITH US

BECAUSE HE'S HAD
A TEAM OF DIVERS

SEARCHING THE AREA EVER SINCE
HE PICKED HOFFMAN UP.

THE AIR-CONDITIONING
SYSTEM

WENT OFF
ON SCHEDULE, JIM.

THEY'VE ORDERED
A NEW COMPRESSOR.

GOOD.

NOW, BERLINGER'S
ILLEGITIMATE ACTIVITIES

ARE CENTERED
IN THE 23rd FLOOR COMPLEX

OF HIS HEADQUARTERS.

YOU'LL BOTH HAVE
TO BE VERY CAREFUL.

HIS SECURITY FORCE
IS GEARED TO KILL.

ANYTHING YET
ON THE SYNDICATE MAN

WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BUY
THE DIAMONDS FROM BERLINGER?

NO, IT'S STILL
A TOTAL BLANK --

EXCEPT THAT WE DO KNOW

THAT HE OR SHE
ADVANCED BERLINGER $10 MILLION

AGAINST THE TOTAL PRICE
OF $75 MILLION.

WHAT HAPPENS IF BERLINGER

DOESN'T COME UP
WITH THE DIAMONDS?

THEY'LL KILL HIM.

WELL, WHAT'S UP?

WE FOUND HIM
DOWN THERE.

I THOUGHT
YOU'D WANT TO KNOW.

HEY, WHO ARE YOU,
AND WHO ARE THESE GUYS?

SUPPOSE YOU
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

WHO ARE YOU?

WARNER -- BOB WARNER.

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN THIS AREA?

SWIMMING! YOU DON'T OWN
THE OCEAN, YOU KNOW!

MAYBE NOT...
BUT I'D HATE TO SEE

ONE OF MY MEN MISTAKE YOU
FOR A SHARK OR SOMETHING

AND PUT A SPEAR
THROUGH YOU.

NOW, CLEAR OUT
OF THIS AREA!

HEAD BACK FOR SHORE.

WE DON'T TAKE
DELIVERIES SATURDAY.

THIS ORDER CALLS
FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY --

TYPE A-3 COMPRESSOR

FOR AN L-22
AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT.

-COME BACK MONDAY.
-IT'S OKAY WITH ME, MISTER.

JUST SIGN HERE WHERE IT SAYS
"DELIVERY REFUSED."

IT'LL COST ANOTHER
150 BUCKS MONDAY, THOUGH.

KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON.

A REPLACEMENT

FOR THE BURNED-OUT
COMPRESSOR'S HERE.

WITH A WORK CREW?

NO, JUST THE TRUCKER.

HAVE HIM PUT IT IN STORAGE.

RIGHT.

SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS
WITH A SPLASH.

BARTENDER,

I LOST A RING IN HERE
LAST NIGHT.

I-I WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE
IN THAT BOOTH.

LADY, THIS PLACE
IS CLEANED AT CLOSING TIME.

IF ANYBODY FOUND A RING, I'D
HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT BY NOW.

OH, BUT I KNOW IT'S HERE.

I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER SEEING IT
ON MY FINGER AT 1:00.

GO EASY ON THAT STUFF.
HE'S NO GOOD TO ME DEAD.

THIS IS NOT THE SERUM.
HE'S HAD TOO MUCH ALREADY.

THIS IS JUST SOMETHING
TO BRING HIM AROUND.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
TRUTH SERUM.

ALL HE DOES
IS KEEP LYING.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YEAH, WELL,
HE'S TOUGH IN THE HEAD.

MAYBE SEEING ALL THOSE
DIAMONDS MADE HIM THAT WAY.

YES?

This is Hawks.

Let me talk with him.

IT'S HAWKS.

I'LL TAKE IT IN MY STUDY.

KEEP WORKING ON HIM.

OH, NOW THEY'LL ALL
BE JUST THRILLED

NOW THAT IT'S GONE.

WAS IT INSURED, MA'AM?

NO, I ONLY GOT IT
YESTERDAY.

I HAVEN'T HAD IT LONG ENOUGH!

IT'S NOT HERE, LADY,
I TELL YA.

YES?

NOTHING SO FAR.

WHAT ABOUT THE CAVES
ALONG THE SHORE?

WE'VE SEARCHED EVERY FOOT
OF THEM -- NOTHING.

OH, I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE
HAD IT CUT DOWN!

OH...DEAR.

WHAT ABOUT HOFFMAN?

HE'S NOT TALKING.

IT'S GOT TO BE HERE.

OOH! LADY...IS THAT IT?

OOH, THAT'S IT.

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL KEEP THEM LOOKING.

OH...I'M SO HAPPY!

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

OH, THANK YOU.

OH, I THINK I WOULD
HAVE KILLED MYSELF

IF I HAD LOST THAT RING.

YOU KNOW, MY BOYFRIEND
SAYS IT'S VERY VALUABLE.

IT'S MINE-CUT, YOU KNOW.

WELL, YOU BETTER
GET IT INSURED, MA'AM.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE TO.

HE SAID SOMETHING
ABOUT A...GROUP POLICY.

OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BYE NOW.

NOW WILL YOU SIGN
THE INVOICE?

OPEN IT.

LOOK...THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO INSTALL IT TILL MONDAY.

THIS SAYS ONE COMPRESSOR, RIGHT?

AND YOU WANT ME
TO SIGN FOR IT, RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

THEN, I GOTTA SEE IT.

OKAY?

OKAY.

[ GROANING ]

COME ON, OLD MAN.
HERE I AM.

LOOK AT ME.

[ Sluggishly ] UH, BERLINGER,
I-I TRIED TO SAVE THEM.

I KNOW.

YOU'VE ALREADY
TOLD ME THAT.

YOU WERE A MILE
FROM THE SHORE.

HE WAS NEAR THE RAIL.

THE CASE WAS CHAINED
TO HIS WRIST --

THEN THE EXPLOSION,
AND HE WAS BLOWN OVERBOARD.

I-I -- WHEN I...

CAME TO, I WAS IN THE --
I WAS IN THE WATER.

I NEVER...
I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN.

AND YOU NEVER SAW
THE DIAMONDS AGAIN?

NO.

HOFFMAN, YOU'RE A LIAR!

DON'T YOU THINK
I KNOW YOU?

YOUR PERCENTAGE
IN THE SHIPMENT

CAME TO $100,000.

YOU WOULD HAVE DIED OUT THERE
LOOKING FOR THAT CASE

RATHER THAN WATCH IT GO DOWN
CHAINED TO A DEAD MAN.

NO.

NO, NO.

[ CASEY HUMMING IN DISTANCE ]

[ HUMMING ]

[ GASPING ]

YEAH, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT,
CASEY.

D-DID THEY --

YEAH,
THEY TOOK THE RING.

NOW, IT'S
BERLINGER'S MOVE.

16.25 KARATS.

EXACT WEIGHTS
WEREN'T RECORDED

ON ALL OUR STONES.

WE HAD...

FOUR 16 PLUS OR MINUS...

THREE...

16 PLUS...

ONE 16.25 --

GEM NUMBER 376.

58 FACETS.

58 FACETS.

IT'S ONE OF OURS.

PUT IT BACK
IN ITS SETTING.

IT'S ONE OF OURS.

THE WOMAN
WHO WORE THIS DIAMOND RING

WILL LEAD US TO THE STONES.

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE,

AND I'LL GIVE YOU
BACK YOUR LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHERE THEY ARE.

WHAT GOOD WILL
THE DIAMONDS DO YOU DEAD?!

I SWEAR, BERLINGER,
I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH.

USE THE SERUM.

ONLY THIS TIME,
DOUBLE THE DOSE.

THERE MAY BE VERY LITTLE
LEFT OF YOUR LIFE

WHEN THIS MAN IS FINISHED.

YOU WILL TELL US.

[ Weakly ]
Please, Berlinger...please.

I'M GOING TO SEE
THIS HAYWOOD WOMAN.

GO INTO MY STUDY.

CALL AND SEE
HOW THE DIVERS ARE DOING.

[ HISSING ]

Don't worry.

I'm going to get you
out of here.

YEAH, THIS IS HAWKS.

NO LUCK, HUH?

ALL RIGHT.

KEEP THEM LOOKING.

AND LISTEN --
GO OVER THOSE CAVES AGAIN.

YEAH.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

[ As Simmons ]
SIMMONS.

IS HE TALKING?

NO, HE'S NOT UNDER YET.

ALL RIGHT.
CALL ME WHEN HE IS.

WHO ARE YOU?

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

LATER, HOFFMAN...

THE IMPORTANT THING
IS I'M GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE.

WILL YOU DO AS I SAY?

THIS IS ONE
OF BERLINGER'S TRICKS.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT,
YOU'LL DIE.

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GO WITH YOU.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

GARAGE.

CAPTAIN, THIS IS SIMMONS.

MR. BERLINGER
LEFT ORDERS FOR THE PRISONER

TO BE TRANSFERRED
OUT OF THE BUILDING.

I'LL NEED HELP.

STONE WILL BE RIGHT UP,
MR. SIMMONS.

STONE!

THEY'RE MOVING HOFFMAN.

GO UP AND GIVE
MR. SIMMONS A HAND.

RIGHT.

TRUST ME.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHO IS IT?

STONE.

WHERE'S HE GOING?

THE GARAGE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YOU WANT ME
TO GET THAT?

LEAVE IT.

THEY'RE PROBABLY
WONDERING WHERE WE ARE.

[ RINGS ]

GARAGE.

This is Hawks.
Simmons has been overpowered.

Hoffman's escaped.
Now, seal all exits.

SIMMONS IS LEAVING
WITH THE PRISONER NOW --

MR. BERLINGER'S ORDERS.

STOP THEM.

SIMMONS, STOP!
HOLD IT!

HOLD IT!

I HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE,
MR. HAWKS.

STONE...

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ GUNSHOTS ]

ALL RIGHT, WHO ARE YOU?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

BEN WILLIAMS,
INSURANCE INVESTIGATIONS.

OKAY, WILLIAMS...WHY?

FOR A CASTLE IN SPAIN
AND A PENSION FOR LIFE.

GIVE IT TO ME
IN ENGLISH.

SURE.

I GET 10% OF THE $75 MILLION

IF I RECOVER THE DIAMONDS
FOR THE INSURANCE UNDERWRITERS.

THAT'S $7,500,000.

WHAT DIAMONDS?

YES?

MRS. HAYWOOD, MARY HAYWOOD?

YES.

MAY I COME IN?

DO WE KNOW EACH OTHER?

WELL, WE SHOULD.

I THINK YOU LOST THIS
THIS MORNING.

SINCE YOU DIDN'T REPORT IT
TO THE POLICE,

IT'S OBVIOUS YOU SUSPECTED
THE RING WAS STOLEN PROPERTY.

I SUSPECTED NO SUCH THING.

IT'S MY RING,
AND I INTEND TO HAVE IT.

I INTEND
YOU SHALL HAVE IT...

WITH NO FURTHER
EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS.

YES, I WOULD LIKE...
SOMETHING IN RETURN.

FROM WHOM
DID YOU ACQUIRE THIS?

IT'S SUCH A REMARKABLE RING.

I'D...LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY

OF DOING A LITTLE TRADING
ON MY OWN.

WELL, I, UH, I DOUBT

THAT YOU'D GET AS GOOD
A BARGAIN AS I DID.

NO...I DOUBT IT.

BUT HE, UM,
HE DOES...HAVE OTHERS

THAT MIGHT BE FOR SALE?

HUH?

I SAID, "HE HAS OTHERS
THAT MIGHT BE FOR SALE?"

I THINK SO.

WHERE DO I FIND HIM?

HE'S MY SCUBA TEACHER,
BOB WARNER.

AND WHERE DO I FIND
MR. WARNER?

520 DOLPHIN WAY.

WHY, THANK YOU.

OF COURSE,

IF YOU'VE REFERRED ME
TO THE WRONG MAN...

I'LL BE BACK.

I'M OFFERING YOU
AN EVEN SPLIT

OF $7.5 MILLION DOLLARS.

I'LL EVEN HELP YOU
GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY

SO YOU CAN LIVE
TO SPEND IT.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING,
MAN.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

UH...YOU FIGURE
THAT YOU'LL TAKE OFF

FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS

UNTIL THE HEAT'S OFF,
RIGHT?

YOU'RE VERY BUSY
UPSTAIRS, MAN.

THE DIAMONDS
WON'T BE THERE, HOFFMAN.

SOMEBODY ELSE ALREADY KNOWS
WHERE THEY ARE.

YOU'RE WORKING
FOR BERLINGER.

HE PUT YOU UP TO THIS.

ARE YOU SURE?

NOT JUST ONE
OF THOSE DIAMONDS,

BUT THR OF THEM
HAVE ALREADY SHOWN UP.

ALL FROM THE SAME SOURCE --
A MRS. HAYWOOD.

SHE LIVES AT THE MARINA.

NO, NO...

BESIDES, YOU'D HAVE
MOVED IN ON HER BY NOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY
OTHER PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED.

IF I HAVE TO SPLIT IT
TOO MANY WAYS,

IT DOESN'T DO ME ANY GOOD.

ALL RIGHT...

BUT, UH, LET ME TALK
TO THIS MRS. HAYWOOD FIRST.

WHY?

THERE ISN'T ANY
MRS. HAYWOOD, IS THERE?

OF COURSE THERE IS.

I JUST DON'T WANT
TO SCARE HER OFF.

WE WON'T SCARE HER OFF.

WE'LL JUST OFFER
TO BUY A COUPLE OF DIAMONDS

AT A GOOD PRICE.

OKAY.

I'M SORRY TO STARTLE YOU.

THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED.

IT'S NO INVITATION!

I'M A FRIEND
OF MRS. HAYWOOD.

OH, OH...

YOU'RE INTERESTED
IN SCUBA INSTRUCTION.

I'M INTERESTED IN DIAMONDS.

DIAMONDS?

WHY WOULD YOU COME TO ME?

I SAW THE ONE
YOU GAVE MRS. HAYWOOD.

AND I KNOW THAT
SOMEWHERE OFFSHORE,

YOU FOUND AN ATTACHé CASE
FILLED WITH DIAMONDS.

[ Chuckling ]
MAN, YOU'RE ON A TRIP.

OH, BOY, AM I HUNG.

THAT WAS SOME AFFAIR
LAST NIGHT...

AND I THINK I NEED A BELT.

WARNER, DIAMONDS...
ARE MY BUSINESS.

SO, SO WHAT?

LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY.

THE LEGITIMATE RETAIL VALUE
OF THOSE DIAMONDS

IS OVER $100 MILLION.

THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN
IN THE WORLD

THAT CAN SELL THEM
FOR THAT PRICE.

HE'S READY TO BUY THEM
FROM ME FOR $75 MILLION.

BUT YOU CAN'T SELL THEM
TO ANYBODY --

NOT WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT
AND SENT TO JAIL, THAT IS.

THEY'RE STOLEN, YOU SEE.

HOW DOES $5 MILLION
IN RELATIVELY SMALL, SAFE,

GENUINE, UNTRACEABLE BILLS
SOUND TO YOU?

THAT'S NOT BAD FOR A
HALF-HOUR SCUBA DIVE, IS IT?

$5 MILLION?

$5 MILLION.

AND ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS GET THEM FOR YOU?

THAT'S ALL.

CASH ON DELIVERY?

ON DELIVERY.

WHY DON'T YOU
HAVE A BELT, HUH?

ALL RIGHT.

YEAH.

-YES?
-MRS. HAYWOOD?

YES.

WE'D LIKE TO TALK
TO YOU.

WHO ARE YOU, ANYWAY?

WE'RE VERY NICE PEOPLE,
MRS. HAYWOOD,

AND WE PAY VERY NICE PRICES
FOR USED DIAMONDS.

THE POLICE?

NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT.

LET'S JUST SAY
WE'RE MERCHANTS.

COME IN.

MAY I GET YOU SOME WINE?

WE'D LIKE TO SEE
THE MERCHANDISE.

SIT DOWN.

SHE'S DEAD.

WOW!

SOMEBODY ELSE KNOWS
WHERE THOSE DIAMONDS ARE,

AND THAT SOMEBODY DIDN'T WANT
HER TO TELL US WHO HE IS.

OKAY, YOU WIN.

I'LL GET YOU THE REST
OF THE DIAMONDS,

BUT I'LL NEED SOME HELP
WITH MY GEAR.

FINE, I HAVE A TRUCK
WE CAN USE.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
SOMETHING WAS WRONG

WHEN I CAUGHT HIM
SWIMMING OUT THERE.

HE'S VERY VALUABLE TO US.

WITH HOFFMAN GONE,

HE'S OUR LAST CHANCE TO GET
THE DIAMONDS ON TIME.

WHAT ABOUT THE $5 MILLION
YOU PROMISED HIM?

IF HE COMES UP WITH
THE DIAMONDS, KILL HIM.

[ BEEPING ]

[ BEEPING ]

WILLY...I HAVE YOU
ON THE SCOPE

ABOUT 300 YARDS
RIGHT OF HOFFMAN.

TURN 20 DEGREES LEFT
AND SLOW DOWN.

JIM...

I have you in sight.

Slow down.

TELL HIM TO SLOW DOWN.

I GOT TO GET MY BEARINGS.

SLOW IT DOWN!

JIM...HEAD PARALLEL
TO THE SHORE.

Go about 100 yards
and then stop.

HEAD PARALLEL TO THE SHORE
ABOUT 100 YARDS AND THEN STOP.

100 YARDS FURTHER ON!

HOLD IT HERE
FOR A MINUTE.

STOP!

WILLY...
TURN 30 DEGREES LEFT.

YOU'RE CLOSE TO HIM.

I THINK HE'S FOUND IT.

JIM...CONTINUE SAME COURSE
AS BEFORE -- 75 YARDS.

HOFFMAN WILL BE
DIRECTLY BELOW YOU.

ABOUT 75 MORE YARDS,
AND WE'RE THERE.

75 YARDS FORWARD!

AS SOON AS WE'RE SURE
WE HAVE THE DIAMONDS...

[ BEEPING ]

RIGHT, WILLY.

[ BEEPS ]

WHAT IS THIS?

WELL, I MAY BE POOR,

BUT I'M NOT STUPID,
MR. BERLINGER.

I GAVE THEM TO A FRIEND
OF MINE DOWN THERE.

NOW...WE WILL GO TO MY PLACE.

AND WHEN I SEE THE $5 MILLION,
I'LL TELEPHONE MY FRIEND,

ANDWILL BRING
THE DIAMONDS.

HOW VERY NICELY THOUGHT OUT,
MR. WARNER.

BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM.

I DON'T HAVE THE $5 MILLION.

WELL, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM,
NOT MINE.

NO $5 MILLION, NO DIAMONDS!

PERHAPS...IF YOUR FRIEND
CAME TO MY OFFICE.

MY PAD.

CALL MY CONTACT.

GET HIM
ON THE RADIO PHONE.

TELL HIM TO MEET ME
AT WARNER'S PLACE.

WE'LL CONCLUDE
THE TRANSACTION THERE.

YOUR FRIEND'S
A LITTLE LATE.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE FANCY OFFICE, BERLINGER?

UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

YOU BROUGHT THE MONEY,
MR. CONNORS?

DO YOU HAVE THE DIAMONDS?

THE UNUSUAL...
CIRCUMSTANCES

INCLUDE THE FACT THAT I
CAN'T DELIVER THE DIAMONDS

UNTIL I PRESENT
THIS GENTLEMAN

WITH $5 MILLION
OF MY OWN MONEY.

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE $5 MILLION?

YOU DO WANT THE DIAMONDS,
DON'T YOU, MR. CONNORS?

YES, I DO WANT THEM.

THEN JUST...SHOW
MY FRIEND HERE THE MONEY.

THERE NEED BE
NO ACTUAL EXCHANGE

UNTIL THE DIAMONDS
ARE HERE.

AGREED?

LET'S SEE THE MONEY.

NOW.

JUST BE A MOMENT, GENTLEMEN.
