Plot[]
A kidnapping and two murders leads to a blood diamond sold in civil wars in Africa. Eventually, they find out that one of the victim's father had given the information that led to his murder. With the man willing to testify about it, they are able to get the man they are trying to charge to admit to having the blood diamonds, but while he'd asked to get the stolen diamonds back, he hadn't ordered the murders. The man he had asked was responsible for that. In exchange for helping them extradite the men responsible and the location of his cache of blood diamonds, the man is allowed to leave the country.
