Heart Of Diamonds
Corruption at the highest levels of government, greed in the church, and brutality among warring factions make the Congo a very dangerous place for television journalist Valerie Grey. Amid the bloody violence of that country's endless civil war, Grey uncovers a deadly diamond-smuggling scheme that reaches from the heart of the Congo to the White House by way of a famous American televangelist. Aided by an altruistic doctor, Grey is pursued by the soldiers of the country's dictator, the mercenaries of the mine's owner, and the rebels seeking control of the country. HEART OF DIAMONDS is a fast-paced tale of ambition, avarice, betrayal, and love.
Episodes
Leaving the children with the fisherman's family, Valerie and the rest walk through the bush to find a villager with a truck to take them to Tshikapa. The Lunda Libre have been there before them, however, and Scavino and Alben arrive soon thereafter. Valerie flees when Scavino's helicopter is shot out of the sky and the opposing forces do battle.
...
David makes his way to Bukedi, where he learns Valerie is still alive. Scavino tortures Bobby until he confesses that Valerie is at Mai-Munene. When the agent arrives in the village, he forms an uneasy alliance with Alben to chase her down.
Bobby is captured by Scavino in Kinshasa. When the agent learns Valerie is still alive, Bobby tries to lead him on a wild goose chase. Meanwhile, in Mai-Munene, Valerie discovers diamonds inside the stolen nkisi. When Alben finds one of the dolls is missing, he sends his soldiers rampaging through the village to find it.
On the way to Mai-Munene, Valerie stops at the refugee camp in Bukedi, run by an American aid worker who looks a lot like her. Not long after they leave, Scavino arrives in the camp and mistakes the camp director for his target, Valerie Grey.
Valerie and her crew stay just a few steps ahead of American agent Steve Scavino as they make their way toward Mai-Munene through the war-ravaged countryside.
Valerie and David meet Jaime the next morning in Central Park and the two men spar over African politics—or is it over Valerie?
A little girl runs into the school where Valerie is filming her story about the nkisi and reports that rebels have killed her mother. Valerie and her crew steal Alben's vehicle and rush from Mai-Munene to find the killers.
Valerie and her crew start to shoot their story at the mine, but are stopped by Congolese captain Yoweri, the fierce commander of the troops guarding the facility. Thomas Alben reluctantly intervenes and gives them a tour that ends at a school where village women make nkisi, rag dolls that are filled with something special.
