[Music] [Music] no [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] show [Applause] [Music] la [Music] a [Music] [Applause] [Music] as you see [Music] hey Tracy Johnny but how did you know it what brings you back so quick I'm home again Johnny for Keeps this time oh I'm sorry should I say that no not really no point does the old man though not yet how is he well lots of wear and tear I'm glad you're back for his sake and you me I'm off up to cartridge look why don't you come along just for the ride what do you say then you can tell me all about it it's the time for me to change the jeans look [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] where the hell have you been I had business at the bank did you just what do you do all day long Johnny works his and my son fits around not old Hero Boy again please he happens to be the best diamond man in the business yes and the sun shines out of his backside and I'm sick of the death of hearing about it now where's the Brandy I told you yesterday there wasn't any Brandy it isn't Brandy you need it's work now stop playing about play boys don't make good Diamond men well then get rid of him give me a chance that is if you really want to know what I can [Music] do well here we are again how does it feel out of this world Johnny just like old times do you remember that house we built in the tree please the one brother Benedict had to pull to Pieces right and then told your dad he done it because he caught us playing mommies and daddies yes what a beating I got I was black and blue for days if only it had been true it would have been worth it but what kind of ory can you have when you're 11 Johnny yeah how about Ruby how about her how come you married her long story little boys who think they're big boys do some pretty odd things at times little girls too yeah look down there Thunderbolt Gap the most beautiful site in the world is okay but I don't see what makes it that beautiful because roughly a million years ago rivers to the South was spitting diamonds into the ocean because those Rivers dried up and the tides have been moving the diamonds northwards ever since and because down there you see that Reef in gullies on that reef is where a hell of a lot of them must have got stuck well then why didn't you just go and get them because my little historian when we took over the Mandate for the Germans after World War I our government decided to grant the concession for mining Thunderbolt to the big company we still aren't working it by the look of things they will in time when you got so much you can afford to wait can't you but I'll tell you Tracy I've got the same feeling as a water diviner there are millions of carrots of diamonds stuck on that brief I know it I can smell him almost I can see the shine of him through 160 ft of water if only I could put king fisher into that lot [Music] [Applause] I want the tooth three four months perhaps I'm sorry thank you h [Music] [Music] [Music] look Tracy the old way of getting diamonds off the beach I got the idea of pulling them out of the sea when I was studying in America and replacing all that with my Bo king fish [Music] help [Music] [Applause] [Music] I don't like it Les come on you know every trick in the book let's stop our workr is all covered I'm going to replace the ships and mix up the cruise good I think you should and restrict access to the plant especially at night right Tracy and I will go and check the perimeter now that's strange what the devil was old Samson doing along the stretch of the beach playing with a toy boat why don't you ask him perhaps he'll let you play with it too I will hey Samson grab that boat come on [Music] [Music] all right you start singing how much how long hope for bar you I swear it hope for all right then I'll tell you [Music] [Music] there how about that for me God you're greedy you can't get enough can you never [Music] satisfy you don't do to too badly pretty well I'd say just keep on trying it's Johnny Benedict why come

you to call every day my wife she scream I drink more more I come it's not finished it is finished I told you let me show you you want to show me I se a ship before not like this you haven't if she float I sell I'm sorry I'm late I got caught in traffic I thought this was just family It is Well shouldn't now sit down I want him here right the Vander Bale Diamond company I'm splitting it up three ways 1/3 yours 1/3 yours and the remaining third for you mine that's what I said you're not deaf but sir I wasn't expecting you weren't expecting anything were you not a damn thing but that's why you've been creeping and crawling for years now you finally made it I've sweated out a lifetime putting this show together and I don't need you to tell me how to dispose of it there's just one thing your third is in King Fisher and the dredging concessions only that'll do me sir every other asset of Vander Bale mines properties beaches has been put into a separate trust for my son and Tracy you will be chairman managing director and executor but when I signed the documents this morning here see that he gets them you always wanted Authority power responsibility now it's over to you right finish if you could spare me a moment Mr Benedict I'd like your signature on some of these documents can we yes we can we will thanks father glad to have your confidence let me get you a drink Death no stop fussing girl I'm just tired that's all why are you doing this Dad about time I chucked it in retired maybe with your last breath not before that's about it so what about king fisher well she's not finished I've sunk a couple of million in that diamond barge of yours and now it's up to you but what does he do for money he goes to the bank the loan still stands they'll give him more time if he needs it but now you made Benedict the boss sir it's never going to work I wish it could Now you listen to me the bank's your boss not Benedict not until that loan's been repaid the loan was for king fisher the company on your personal guarantee you believe in that floating Fortune don't you I think it's going to be the biggest thing you ever started one thirds yours look you took me in when I was a kid You Raised Me you taught me you beat the hell out of me but in the end I was a good Diamond man your man and you don't own me anything I owe my son Johnny I owe him the chance well if that's how you feel dad but I can't help thinking it's you who's taking the chance damn it there must be enough of me in him to make it come good in the end and I have other reasons sure sir theare of you get the hell out of here you got more work than time before that bank loans be paid see you later Ted you know for a man who's retired you certainly know how to keep things [Music] moving are you going to sign me on Johnny or not what as now look I'm not just a damn blonde you know I did get a degree in South African history remember sure big deal but that's digging the past Tracy and this is today and we're digging for diamonds now listen for a start you're not going to get any help from Benedict that's as sure as help so you're going to need a tough guy like me I mean mentally tough okay you tell me how where right on the end of a telephone bashing a typewriter stalling the creditors keeping an eye on my oneir and yours helping you to float this damn dream boat of your you really do think that I can't manage without you don't you're darn right I do well I'll tell you something you sold me partner Shake hoor come on no this way better oh Skipper we've got a new crew member Cappy Tracy ah very nice of joining but where's he going to sleep then a sure cppy a sure come on very good but then I'm making no harm in asking do I there look at that it's my vacuum cleaner what does it do well we stick an extension on the end reach down a 100 foms Blast away the seabed and suck up what's lying underneath it's a pretty fancy vacuum Cina the beginning let's have a look [Music] see you know what that is a concrete mixer not quite I call it my cream separator same principle takes the gravel from the pipe spins it and then spews all the waste back into the sea and what happens to the cream it gets dried in hot air in here gathered onto a belt a conveyor belt inside here and then at the bottom of this shoot passes into the X-ray room for diagnosis Diamond sh very sharply flues under x-ray you probably know that it pinpoints everyone so when the X-ray machine reports the presence of diamonds to my computer up top will have blown sucked screened separated dried and discovered all on one ship in one process at one time also we'll have spent 2 and2 million well the way you tell it Johnny it sounds cheap at the price cost it close to 100 an hour 118 all right 118 we worked at the beach for 60 hours for Just Around 200 karats I think the beaches are drying up what do you suggest we do about it we're doing it we're finishing up King Fisher just as fast as we bloody well can but it's still one heck of a job yes well you don't sound too sure oh I'm sure but Kingfisher is new it's something that's never been tried before there are problems complications new ones every day but we're meeting them beating them all we need is time the interest on the bank loan becomes due in 3 weeks how much is it just over 200,000 where will you get it no problem the old man fixed it the ship's going to be worth over 22 million finished that's damn good collateral the bank will extend but the bank's out of it I don't get you well the bank has nothing to do with it then who has me as managing director of the trust of course I've relieve them I've uh I've taken over the loan meaning but when payment becomes due I can't give you an extension of time so that's it well I have to protect the old man's half a million for my little sister of course we can't go throwing good money after bad can we got you good so you pay on the dot or I take over the king fisher for myself is that clear you're not doing this for me Benedict but I am as your executive no you're doing this for you as usual not only despicable but utterly pathetic no come in darling it's lunchtime and I have quite an appetite oh hello Johnny well that's one thing I do have to thank you for Benedict you're welcome thank you for make it fellas okay Johnny I'll take that now yeah don't be late tomorrow will

you got a two weeks yeah two [Music] weeks it just didn't work got the way I planned it that's all nor for my dear husband how's he going to raise 200,000 yes but believes he can that's the point I know he does listen Benedict you've got the company you've taken his wife and in 3 weeks you'll have his ship yes but taking his wife away from him seemed to be the one thing that gave him any Joy thanks don't start drinking you darling and don't start giving me orders do you hear I'm not taking orders from anyone anymore not ever [Music] [Music] [Music] right you promis delivery tomorrow and I promise you cood well we're not exactly broke you know not exactly but it's near as damn it we're right on schedule Johnny come on glaze die and a stiff up a lip 17 more days still not operating the loan to pay and almost clean out of cash skint so you telling me tough guy what do we [Music] [Applause] do money that's what I need well that's no problem you're the right person in the right place a bank just tell me how much 230,000 Tracy child that's an awful lot of money against my share of the estate Philip surely your Shar is in trust you'll get the income can't touch the capital not unless the executive agrees have you asked Benedict no but it's my money what right have you to say no every right to safeguard the estate protect your interest and stop you making a fool of yourself why do you hate so much make everything so ugly you have everything you ever wanted now no not quite not yet you're still a child aren't you trying to get even for things you only imagine you finished oh no not yet not by any means but don't you understand what he's trying to do dad to Johnny to me to all your plans for kingish yes I I think I do but is this what you thought what you intended when you put him there and told him to take over the king fisher won't be a loser he knows that but he's going to make certain that we lose Kingfisher unless you do something about it Dad you are the only one who can father I appreciate your concern I really do but whether right or wrong the decisions now are mine I put you there son yes and if I may remind you very late in the day why are you so bitter so so twisted up boy am I could it be from having to grow from the roots of a very large tree father in the shadows Johnny Managed IT well yes he would that's where all the nourishment went wasn't it not even your own blood I'm sorry you should feel that ah don't be we shall manage a happy end somehow Benedict I'm asking you you're asking me father because I'm a sick man yes I think you are I've told
