I declare you still don't
trust us, do you, Phil?
184
00:09:25,913 --> 00:09:28,916
Better safe than sorry,
Mr. Harpending.
185
00:10:10,348 --> 00:10:12,089
Why--
186
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:14,222
Are all those diamonds?
187
00:10:14,265 --> 00:10:16,528
Sure. There are
even bigger ones over there.
188
00:10:18,705 --> 00:10:20,358
Well, th--
They can't be!
189
00:10:20,402 --> 00:10:22,317
Go see for yourself.
190
00:10:38,115 --> 00:10:39,508
I must be dreaming.
191
00:10:39,551 --> 00:10:41,075
Am I?
192
00:10:43,207 --> 00:10:45,645
You're not dreaming.
I wouldn't believe this
193
00:10:45,688 --> 00:10:49,300
if I didn't see it
with my own eyes.
194
00:10:51,085 --> 00:10:53,261
You see them rocks
down there?
195
00:10:53,304 --> 00:10:56,046
We call it
"Sapphire Hollow."
196
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:58,614
Over there is "Ruby Gulch."
197
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:00,224
You okay, Johnny?
198
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:06,143
Yeah, I'm okay.
199
00:11:06,187 --> 00:11:09,930
And, uh, right down here
is "Diamond Flat."
200
00:11:09,973 --> 00:11:11,409
I reckon
that's the best part.
201
00:11:11,453 --> 00:11:12,715

202
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,979
That's covered
with diamonds!
203
00:11:16,023 --> 00:11:18,286
Some of it's diamond dust.
204

Dang stuff springs up
wherever there's an anthill.
205

You look ill, Mr. Slack.
206
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:30,341
I'd better lie down.

Come on in the shade, Johnny.
I'll get you some water.
208

It's a quarter of a mile
of diamonds.
209
00:11:43,485 --> 00:11:45,879
What do you think
they're worth, Janin?
210
00:11:45,922 --> 00:11:48,098
That's hard to say.
211
00:11:48,142 --> 00:11:50,840
Now, just a minute.
That's what you're here for.
212
00:11:50,884 --> 00:11:52,233
Well...
213
00:11:52,276 --> 00:11:53,713
judging from what's on top,
214
00:11:53,756 --> 00:11:57,107
I'd say at least $65 million.
215

Look, Janin, let's just
keep this to ourselves, huh?
217
00:12:02,025 --> 00:12:04,027
At least for the time being.
218
00:12:08,815 --> 00:12:10,338
I tell you, Bill,
these are small
219
00:12:10,381 --> 00:12:13,254
compared to some of those
we saw at the mines.
220
00:12:13,297 --> 00:12:15,865
Why, it is the greatest
bonanza in history.
221
00:12:15,909 --> 00:12:18,694
Great enough for people
to want to buy in?
222
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,088
If you're selling, put me down
for a thousand shares.
223

I'm selling to everybody.
224

You know, we still have
to raise $8 million.
225

Now, hold it, Bill.
Take it easy.
226
00:12:26,223 --> 00:12:27,877
First, you got to find
a way to buy out

How much do you think
that mine's worth?
230
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,408
In the neighborhood
of $65 million.
231
00:12:37,452 --> 00:12:40,498
But they'll settle
for a fraction.
232
00:12:40,542 --> 00:12:43,066
You see, it's all
very relative, Bill.
233
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:47,418
You speak in millions,
but they think in thousands.
234
00:12:47,462 --> 00:12:49,029
I'm sure he's right.
235
00:12:49,072 --> 00:12:52,772
I don't want to risk
a scandal, Asbury.
236
00:12:52,815 --> 00:12:55,078

to get them.

Oh, Mr. Arnold?
Mr. Slack?
361
00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:28,210
A little bonus
from me and my associates.
362
00:19:29,907 --> 00:19:31,692
Why, thank you,
Mr. Ralston.Thank you.
363
00:19:31,735 --> 00:19:35,130
You sure are
a fair-dealing man.
364
00:19:35,174 --> 00:19:36,697
Thank you, sir.Yes, sir.
365
00:19:36,740 --> 00:19:38,960
Right this way, gentlemen.
The papers are right over here.
366
00:19:41,484 --> 00:19:43,704
Shall I bring in Mr. King?
367
00:19:43,747 --> 00:19:46,185
Uh, yes, do that.
368
00:19:52,321 --> 00:19:54,236
Mr. Ralston?
369
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,281
Mr. King.
370
00:20:03,289 --> 00:20:04,464
May I tell you, sir,
371
00:20:04,507 --> 00:20:07,162
how much I welcome
the opportunity...
372
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:08,903
for this survey.
373
00:20:13,124 --> 00:20:15,170
[ pickaxe striking rock ]
374
00:20:48,986 --> 00:20:50,771
[ clicks tongue ]
375
00:20:50,814 --> 00:20:53,382
I'm really amazed at you.
376
00:20:55,123 --> 00:20:56,907
An amateur geologist knows
377
00:20:56,951 --> 00:20:59,214
that diamonds and emeralds
and rubies
378
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:01,477
aren't found together
in the same mine.
379
00:21:01,521 --> 00:21:02,957
I knew, Mr. King.
380
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,612
I knew.
It happened so fast,
381
00:21:05,655 --> 00:21:07,309
I just didn't think,
that's all.
382
00:21:07,353 --> 00:21:08,310
Greed.
383
00:21:08,354 --> 00:21:11,226
Greed, greed, greed,
Mr. Janin.
384
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:13,750
They fooled a lot of people,
even Tiffany's.
385
00:21:13,794 --> 00:21:16,449
Tiffany's only certified
that they were genuine.
386
00:21:28,330 --> 00:21:30,506
Why, this is
a cut diamond!
387
00:21:30,550 --> 00:21:32,334
Precisely, Mr. Janin.
388
00:21:32,378 --> 00:21:34,771
Would you have questioned that
a few days ago?
389
00:21:37,557 --> 00:21:38,558
[ sighs ]
390
00:21:40,864 --> 00:21:43,171
What will Mr. Ralston say?
391
00:21:44,172 --> 00:21:45,565
Ruined.
392
00:21:48,263 --> 00:21:50,265
Asbury...
393
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:51,788
we're ruined.
394
00:21:56,402 --> 00:21:58,055
So we are, Bill.
395
00:21:58,099 --> 00:22:00,188
So we are,
without a doubt.
396
00:22:03,147 --> 00:22:06,368
We'll have to return
the two millions,
397
00:22:06,412 --> 00:22:09,328
and the 600,000, we'll...
398
00:22:09,371 --> 00:22:13,027
we'll just have to write off
to experience, I guess.
399
00:22:14,594 --> 00:22:17,248
Where did we go wrong?
400
00:22:17,292 --> 00:22:19,599
BOTH: 68, 69, 70,
401
00:22:19,642 --> 00:22:21,862
71, 72.
402
00:22:24,125 --> 00:22:26,214
How come you're so stupid?
403
00:22:26,257 --> 00:22:28,216
Diamonds ain't mined
already cut.
404
00:22:28,259 --> 00:22:30,610
Did any of them know, huh?
405
00:22:30,653 --> 00:22:32,002
[ chuckles ]
406
00:22:32,046 --> 00:22:35,223
[ both laugh ]
407
00:22:35,266 --> 00:22:38,835
Besides, had to stop you from
salting the mine with pearls,
408
00:22:38,879 --> 00:22:40,402
you dumb fella.
409
00:22:40,446 --> 00:22:43,318
Well, we got most
of the diamonds between us,
410
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:45,146
thanks to Mr. Ralston's bonus.
411
00:22:45,189 --> 00:22:46,408
[ laughs ]
412
00:22:46,452 --> 00:22:48,192
[ laughs ]
413
00:22:48,236 --> 00:22:51,805
So we still got
the $50,000 we spent.
414
00:22:51,848 --> 00:22:54,111
I told you it was worthwhile
to go to Europe
415
00:22:54,155 --> 00:22:56,331
to buy these jewels,
didn't I, Johnny, huh?
416
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:57,941
Mm-hmm.
417
00:22:57,985 --> 00:22:59,813
They had to be real, right?
418
00:22:59,856 --> 00:23:00,814
Right.
419
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:03,033
And for $50,000,
420
00:23:03,077 --> 00:23:05,645
who cares if they're
full of flaws?
421
00:23:05,688 --> 00:23:07,473
[ chuckles ]
422
00:23:07,516 --> 00:23:09,039
People is funny.
423
00:23:09,083 --> 00:23:10,301
They want to believe
something bad enough,
424
00:23:10,345 --> 00:23:12,216
ain't nobody going
to stop them.
425
00:23:13,653 --> 00:23:14,871
Yup.
426
00:23:14,915 --> 00:23:17,134
$300,000 a piece
427
00:23:17,178 --> 00:23:19,789
is a lot
of believing, Johnny.
428
00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:29,320
Good-bye, Johnny.
Take care, hear?
429
00:23:29,364 --> 00:23:32,019
I will, Phil. I will.
430
00:23:37,154 --> 00:23:38,373
Right now,
I'd give it all back
431
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:39,461
for a bicarbonate soda.
432
00:23:39,505 --> 00:23:41,507
[ both laugh ]
433
00:23:43,857 --> 00:23:45,249
Mr. Arnold...
434
00:23:45,293 --> 00:23:47,556
and Mr. Slack...
435
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,864
I don't know
how you did it...
436
00:23:50,907 --> 00:23:53,040
but here's to you
wherever you are.
437
00:23:56,957 --> 00:23:58,611
[ horse whinnies ]
438
00:24:05,879 --> 00:24:08,795
Slack disappeared
and was never heard from again.
439
00:24:08,838 --> 00:24:11,188
Arnold returned to Kentucky
where he became,
440
00:24:11,232 --> 00:24:13,582
of all things, a banker.
441
00:24:13,626 --> 00:24:17,586
He eventually gave back
$150,000 of the stolen money.
442
00:24:17,630 --> 00:24:20,241
A short time later,
he was killed in a gun duel,
443
00:24:20,284 --> 00:24:22,156
bringing to an end
one of the greatest hoaxes
444
00:24:22,199 --> 00:24:23,636
in history.
445
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:26,073
Be with us next week
for another true drama
446
00:24:26,116 --> 00:24:28,031
from our American past.
