00:00A black slave found a diamond and, without anyone noticing, quietly slipped it into his mouth.
00:04But his actions didn't go unnoticed by the overseer.
00:12A fellow worker, who witnessed everything, seemed to catch on to something soon after.
00:16Wiping the dirt off, he discovered it was a pigeon egg-sized pink diamond.
00:20Back in those early days of the diamond trade, he could tell right away how valuable this gem was.
00:24If he kept it for himself, it could provide for his entire family for generations.
00:28But a diamond that size, hidden on his body, would be hard to conceal without the overseer noticing.
00:32As he stood there, unsure of what to do, a pipe nearby suddenly burst.
00:36Taking advantage of the distraction, he quickly stuffed the diamond between his toes and,
00:40pretending to need the bathroom, slipped away from the mining site.
00:55Luckily, the pink diamond was still hidden, and he managed to slip past the overseer and hide in the jungle.
01:00He kept a sharp eye on his surroundings.
01:02Once safe, he pulled out the diamond from between his toes and couldn't help but admire it.
01:06This diamond would make him rich overnight.
01:08In a panic, he tore a strip of fabric from his pants, wrapped the diamond up, and was about to
01:12bury it in the dirt.
01:13But the next second, a gun was aimed at him from behind.
01:17Everything he had done was discovered by the overseer.
01:19He thought he was a goner.
01:21But just as the situation seemed hopeless, a huge explosion went off, and the overseer was knocked out cold.
01:26It turned out the government forces had arrived.
01:28Seeing the overseer lying unconscious on the ground, the man quickly buried the diamond and was immediately surrounded by soldiers.
01:33He was thrown into prison.
01:35To his surprise, the overseer was also thrown into the same prison.
01:38Soon enough, the two of them came face to face.
