how did he get the diamonds into the ..?(spoiler)
how did he get the diamonds into the sewer? I missed that part.
shareHe washed them all down the drain of the lavatory in the janitor's closet. I am not sure how that many diamonds could be put in his wastebasket he carried on his cart and how that many could get washed down one drain. Maybe he used a few different lavatories. Anyway, they ended up in the sewer.
sharethanks! i really don't think it's possible to do so in real life.
shareGiven a hose of large enough diameter, good water pressure, and a city sewer line, it's quite plausible.
shareThe only thing I didn't understand was why did he put the diamonds into the sewer in the first place? Also I didn't quit understand the ending? Please explain it to me thank you.
shareWell, he wasn't really trying to steal the diamonds, but just make it look that way so they would pay a "ransom". The Ins agency ( a sort of Lloyds of London type Co.) finally paid him the full amount I believe, into a Swiss bank account, which he left to the Laura Quinn character (Demi Moore ). The Diamond Company got all the diamonds back except the one big one, but the Ins. Co. was out several 100 million pounds (more valuabe than dollars). The Ins. guy then committed suicide. He was the guy that refused to pay the ins. to his dying wife. And he was the guy that the janitor was really after.
shareThe diamonds weren't washwed down the lavatory - they went down the plughole in the slops sink - the same place we saw him rinsing the tea out his Thermos flask (the first clue to the audience that he was carrying out a different plan from that which had been agreed with Quinn).
