The camera pans to the ocean. For a moment, you see Danny’s face in the waves—smiling, free, redeemed.
But Solomon refuses to sell the diamond to just anyone. He stands before a UN panel. He places the pink diamond on the table. "Yeh kisi ek aadmi ki zindagi nahi kharid sakta. Lekin iski keemat... iski keemat toh poori duniya ko pata honi chahiye."
