He informs them that he knows they have selected the island as part of a plot to steal another rare diamond and declares that he will catch them in the act. That Agent Lloyd actually believes that this...
Everyone else will sit there wondering why the characters, who are about as substantial as the clothes they wear, are doing any of things they do.
