Diamonds: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:35, 2 July 2009

The Diamonds are featured in both Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned wherein they are involved in many scenarios also involving the Protagonists, Niko Bellic and Johnny Klebitz as well as many others. Detailed below are the many different scenarios which take place involving the diamonds and the different people that gain posession of them each time.

The diamonds initially belonged to Bulgarin, or so we are told. They were brought to Liberty City on the Platypus but are quickly stolen by the ship's cook who we see placing them in cake batter (presumably to smuggle them off the ship) in GTA IV's opening sequence.

In the mission Diamonds in the Rough, Gay Tony and Luis Lopez are seen to attended a meeting The Cook in order to obtain the diamonds. This deal however, was interrupted by Johnny Klebitz and several members of The Lost, on the orders of Ray Boccino.

Following the ambush, Johnny hid the diamonds within some garbage, to be collected by Niko Bellic, Luca Silvestri, Joseph "Tuna" DiLeo and Johnny Spaz in the mission Taking in the Trash.

Luca and his crew attempt to steal the diamonds for themselves and plan to move to Las Venturas, but are stopped and are killed by Niko for Ray in the mission Meltdown.

Later on, again on the orders of Ray Boccino, Niko teams up with Johnny, though not for the first time, and attempts to sell the diamonds to Isaac Roth and Mori Green, members of the Jewish Mob. The deal is interrupted by Luis Lopez, who appears to achieve his goal of stealing the diamonds (although it is unclear whether he obtained them during this deal). This deal is seen played out from two different perspectives in the missions Museum Piece for Niko and Collector's Item for Johnny.

Later on Niko and Packie kidnap Gracie Ancelotti on the orders of Gerald McReary in an attempt to trade her for the diamonds at a later stage. Gay Tony and Luis Lopez agree to strike a deal to trade the diamonds for the safe return of Gracie at an Oil Refinery on Charge Island. Soon thereafter the deal gets underway and seems to be going smoothly until Bulgarin appears, claiming that the diamonds were his before Gay Tony and Luis stole them. Following a shoot-out, one of Bulgarin's men grabs the diamonds and escapes up onto one of the metal walkways surrounding the rifinery and holds them over the railings when he is cornered by Niko and Packie. Fearful for his life, no matter his decision, He decides to drop them over the railing into a passing Garbage truck which is headed for the dump and with that he is promptly killed. This is the last time the diamonds are seen.

The last mention of the diamonds however happens when listening to the news on a car radio. It is said that a homeless man found them, and were valued to be worth $2 million. 100 people attempt to obtain the diamonds before the mayor makes the decision to give them to the homeless man. The homeless man then speaks of his plan to sell the diamonds and use his money to open up a gun shop and a liquor store in Vice City.
