KENNY".
We were a real business.
2
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,921
That's what
you got to understand.
3
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,402
We were goddamn industry...
4
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,684
...the kind that's the backbone
of this country.
5
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,529
(indistinct chatter)
6
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,766
Don't take my word for it.
7
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,370
Go in the parking lot
and look on the license
8
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,801
of that brand-new
Mercedes 450 of yours.
9
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,566
Hey. Are you seeing this?
10
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,011
KENNY:
That's Furnace Creek.
11
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,565
This, uh, picture's
over 100 years old.
12
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,966
KAY:
Hmm.
13
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,844
KENNY: And you see this
handsome devil right here?
14
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,564
KAY:
Uh-huh.
15
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,245
KENNY:
He's a Wells.
16
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Okay, so, um, I know
you're a mining company,
17
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,090
-Mm-hmm.
-but I pictured...
18
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,804
Well, I don't know
what I pictured exactly.
19
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,604
I guess little... little carts
20
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,848
going down little...
little train tracks.
21
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,769
-Right. -I mean, what is it
that you do here?
22
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,723
Wh-what we do
is we look for the metals
23
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,046
and the minerals,
all right?
24
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,924
There's exploration
over there,
25
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,283
there's engineering
and there's production, right?
26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,767
We're prospectors.
27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,530
NOt yet?
28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,051
-Okay, how about this?
-Yeah...
29
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,687
Um... so let's say that this...
30
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,080
is the Earth.
31
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,122
My handbag?
32
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,924
Your handbag is Mother Earth
33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,610
with all of her
deep-filled mysteries
34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,842
and goodies on the inside that
she does not want to give up.
35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,689
Me, I'm man,
36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,882
and I'm damn curious about
what she's got inside.
37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,049
So, I send down what's
called an exploratory drill.
38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,050
I go down inside
and dig around,
39
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,730
come across something.
40
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,207
I pull it out. It's nickel.
41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,762
Now, nicke|'s actually
75% copper and 25% nickel,
42
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,041
but there's a whole lot
of nickel in the world,
43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,646
and the world needs nickels.
44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,842
I'm back down there getting
my second core sample,
45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,281
and I happen to pull up, say...
46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,890
silver.
47
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,610
Now, the thing is, when you
find a little bit of this,
48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,324
that means there could be
a whole hell of a lot of it.
49
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,965
So we start raising money.
50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,481
We raise enough money
to open a mine
51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,284
like the one in that picture
right here.
52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,563
Then".
53
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,768
we dig it all up.
54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,169
Now, sometimes--
not that often, but sometimes--
55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,284
the prospecting gods are having
a party at the Pearly Gates,
56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,330
and we get real, real,
really lucky.
57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,164
And we dig down in there,
58
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,164
then we find
a little metal called...
59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,322
gold.
60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,886
(gasps)
61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,368
-Yes.
-Kenny.
62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,925
You like it?
63
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,764
I love you.
64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,170
I love you.
65
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,169
-(taps on glass)
-Old man wants to see you.
66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,364
Afternoon, Marianne.
67
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,244
Hey, Pop. (knocks on door)
Heard you want to see me.
68
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,566
Yeah, Kenny.
69
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,121
Get your ass in here,
would you?
70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,605
Would you, uh, run through this
71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,609
Pershing County strategy
again for me?
72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,882
Right, um...
73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,367
It's about this southern part
of this Newmont property,
74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,766
right here.
75
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,201
Now, Newmont just started
drilling 140 meters
76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,010
and they're finding
a whole lot of magnesite.
77
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,885
If you remember, we still own
the option on Relief Canyon,
78
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,048
which is next door.
We're not finding squat, why?
79
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,770
We're not drilling
deep enough.
80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,609
Let's get back in there.
Drill deeper.
81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,724
Go to 140 if we need to,
and we got a damn good chance
82
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,683
of getting Relief
back in production.
83
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,689
What about Jerritt Canyon?
84
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,643
(inhales deeply)
Well, that's your baby.
85
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,041
You know a hell of a lot
more about it than I do.
86
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,764
But the assays look promising.
87
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,484
Could be fucking huge.
88
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,369
I want you to run point
on this.
89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,682
-(taps table)
-All in.
90
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,882
Scale it up.
91
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,843
Make it yours.
92
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,440
Yes, sir.
93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,047
Clive Coleman's on board.
94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,725
Those boys will ride with you.
95
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,085
(exhales)
96
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,441
God, we work hard
in this business.
97
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,403
Sometimes for nothing.
98
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,567
I wake up every morning.
I tell myself,
99
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,411
"| don't have to do this.
100
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,363
I get to do this."
101
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,401
And then it's just blue skies.
102
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,045
Blue skies, baby.
103
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,241
KENNY".
My old man...
104
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,328
a legend.
105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,242
That was the last time
I saw him alive.
106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,287
(low, indistinct
conversations)
107
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,250
MAN:
A little eye-opener, Kenny?
108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,601
KENNY:
God bless you, Roy.
109
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,644
(softly):
Here we are.
110
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,127
-Boys, to the mother lode.
-ALL: Mother lode.
111
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,242
Today be the day.
112
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,328
KENNY".
The geological reports on this
113
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,487
are highly encouraging.
114
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,080
We are taking a very
aggressive approach.
115
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,167
Prospectus?
Of course.
116
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,964
I can have my secretary
send you one right out.
117
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,242
KENNY: But I got to tell you,
this offering,
118
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,044
it's already over-subscribed.
119
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,003
You know, we can always try
and get you in on the next one.
120
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,726
No, no.
Yea, I understand.
121
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,086
Shit.
122
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,965
Watching the time?
It's 11:15, Kenny.
123
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,447
Oh, Christ.
124
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,249
Where would I be without you?
125
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,608
MAN:
Mr. Wells?
126
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,449
- Yes.
- Lloyd Stanton.
127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,244
- Hello, Lloyd. Kenny Wells.
- Hi.
128
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,691
LLOYD: This is my colleague,
Henry Andrews.
129
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:57,887
-Pleased to meet you.
-Hey.
130
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,241
-Come on back.
-Absolutely.
131
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,727
KENNY:
Thank you. (clears throat)
132
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,970
LLOYD:
So, what can we do for ya?
133
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,969
Well, why don't we wait
for Clive?
134
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,321
Oh, uh, Mr. Coleman
got tied up in a meeting.
135
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,845
No offense, boys,
136
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,088
but I'm supposed to be meeting
with Clive.
137
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,009
None taken, but if you were
supposed to be
138
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,202
meeting with Clive, you
would be meeting with Clive.
139
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,129
All right.
Here is what we have.
140
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,244
We are developing some
very exciting properties
141
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,125
that are spot-on
for your investor profile.
142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,962
Low buy-in
with a sizable upside.
143
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,411
-Mm-hmm.
-And the beautiful part is
144
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,241
they are all only 12 to 18
months and cash positive.
145
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,566
-Manitoba?
-Yeah.
146
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,485
We picked up an option
on a skip claim at an auction.
147
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,165
Right, but it's
a 90-day option.
148
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,611
Yes, the window is narrow,
149
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,006
but if you have a look
at the geo,
150
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,360
you'll see a very promising
shale formation
151
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,841
that hasn't been tapped yet.
152
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,802
LLOYD: Mr. Wells,
Washoe has a practical value
153
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,126
hovering just above zero.
154
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,044
Your debt load is untenable,
155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,965
and you bring us, uh, raw land
with no infrastructure,
156
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,361
no fungible assets.
(laughs): I mean,
157
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,084
you can't possibly expect us
to underwrite this.
158
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,441
Yeah. I'm talking about
a small offering here.
159
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,085
As I said in the beginning,
a low buy-in.
160
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,362
Now, if you'll take
a second look at the geo,
161
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,528
you will see what I see.
162
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,041
And that's money.
163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,049
Not our money.
164
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,730
(exhales heavily)
165
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,207
(groaning)
166
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,805
KENNY".
See, the... the thing is
167
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,167
that the whole economy
had turned,
168
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,601
particularly for commodities.
169
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,924
Close of the day,
170
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,407
Washoe was trading
at four cents a share
171
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,682
if it was trading at all.
172
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,928
Washoe Mining. There's this
great little land lease.
173
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,408
'Cause this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity.
174
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,403
Right. Washoe. Washoe Mining.
175
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:18,006
You know, carrying the...
carrying on the business.
176
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,566
You know, there's still
minerals out there.
177
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:21,841
We just got to find them,
right?
178
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,927
Yeah, all right, all right.
179
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,166
Thank... thank you
for your time. Bye.
180
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,890
(phone beeps)
181
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,606
I could...
182
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,245
12 to 18 months...
183
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,283
cash positive.
184
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,801
Adeal...
185
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,046
Goddamn, I am calling you.
186
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,650
Fuck whatever time it is.
187
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,690
Washoe Mining,
188
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,604
the company that my grandfather
189
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,969
literally scratched out of
the side of a Nevada mountain,
190
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,165
the company that my father
made into a real player,
191
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,329
was almost gone.
192
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,807
Almost.
193
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,168
I'd already, uh, lost my house,
194
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,403
and I was, uh...
I was living with Kay.
195
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,047
And, uh, we-we were about
to lose that, too.
196
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,201
(exhales)
197
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,690
I had a half gallon
of Seagram's in me.
198
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,446
Shit, most people would have
been dead, but not me. No.
199
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,324
(chuckles)
200
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,329
Instead...
201
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,966
I had a dream.
202
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,450
I mean, I mean,
I mean, literally, I...
203
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:44,404
I had a dream.
204
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,170
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
205
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,207
Indonesia.
206
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,129
Gold.
207
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,607
Now, I'd been to Indonesia
five or six years earlier.
208
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,563
l still had a little money
in my pocket.
209
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,330
You know,
Indonesia was booming,
210
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,807
and I was looking
for a way to get in.
211
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,884
Back then, if you wanted
212
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,445
to put a hole in the ground
in Indonesia,
213
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,729
you wanted Mike Acosta
telling you where to dig.
214
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,207
He's what they called
a River Walker.
215
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,004
Yeah, a real hands-on
geologist.
216
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,087
The real deal.
217
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,929
(Mike speaking Spanish)
218
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,326
KENNY:
Oxford College, MIT.
219
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,726
His mom was Venezuelan.
220
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,081
His dad was English.
221
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,446
Now, you see,
he'd just discovered
222
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,166
the largest copper strike
in Southeast Asia,
223
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,524
and everybody wanted
a piece of him, including me.
224
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,325
MIKE: You got the Nazca Plate,
the Pacific Plate.
225
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,727
Juan de Fuca,
North American, South American.
226
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,609
Aleutian, Marianas, Tonga.
227
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,491
The plates rubbing
and grinding up on each other.
228
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,284
Six trillion kilobytes
of pressure.
229
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,166
10,000 degrees Celsius
kicking up geothermic hot spots
230
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,169
all along the Pacific rim.
231
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,410
KENNY". He called it the, uh,
the Ring of Fire theory.
232
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,522
And he definitely had
everyone's attention.
233
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,166
That's how I found the copper.
234
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,608
And that's why
I'll find the gold.
235
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,411
(Kay groaning)
236
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,010
You're up early.
237
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,770
H9)’-
238
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,570
You want to talk
about yesterday.
239
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,849
No. I gotta go right now, babe.
I've gotta plan. Gotta plan.
240
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,201
-Oh, wait, Kenny,
Kenny, listen. -Hmm?
241
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,209
Carl had an idea.
242
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,607
-American Home Carl?
-Uh-huh.
243
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,291
He said he could, uh,
get you on for a while,
244
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,044
-if you wanted.
-Right, right, right, right.
245
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,925
Yeah, I don't think that's
going to be necessary, babe.
246
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,690
Yeah, but it'd
just be temporary
247
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,404
till the market turns.
248
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,649
We could fool around
in the warehouse.
249
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,125
You know, I tell you...
250
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,480
(moaning)
251
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,125
When I get done with this trip,
all right?
252
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,446
Shouldn't take
more than a week.
253
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,971
-All right.
-What? Where you going?
254
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,401
-If it doesn't work out,
I'll give Carl a call. -Baby...
255
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,124
- I'll call you from the
airport. -Wait. Wait, wait.
256
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,571
Kenny!
257
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:15,082
KENNY: It was like
I was being called, you know?
258
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,241
It was the gold calling.
259
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,124
That may sound crazy to you,
260
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,163
but if you...
if you knew that feeling,
261
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,408
-well, you'd know.
-(engine roaring)
262
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,130
("Ron Klaus Wrecked His House"
by Big Dipper plays)
263
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,401
(horns honking)
264
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,209
KENNY". Kenny Wells.
I'm down here in the, uh,
265
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,731
the lobby of the, uh,
Jakarta Palace.
266
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,444
Uh... Yeah, listen,
267
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,090
we must've got
the times mixed up.
268
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,123
Um... Let me know.
I'm down here.
269
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,369
I'm in the brown suit,
I'm on the green couch.
270
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,686
I'm the good-looking guy, okay?
271
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,131
All right.
We'll make it happen, cap'n.
272
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,486
All right.
273
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,600
MIKE:
Wells?
274
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,529
Mike.
275
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,881
Good to see you again.
276
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,249
I know a local place,
a bit more color.
277
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,488
What, they're not pouring here?
278
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,802
-Good.
-(snaps fingers)
279
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,810
-(plays gentle melody)
- So,
280
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,526
what are we talking about
here, Wells?
281
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,010
Ring of Fire, Mike.
282
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,610
Ring of Fire.
283
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,690
You're playing
my greatest hits.
284
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,041
Fire's gone out of that one.
285
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,924
Well, what are you
talking about?
286
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,886
It's the opinion of my
fellow esteemed geologists,
287
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,446
that the whole thing--
I'm quoting here--
288
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,608
is a crock of shit.
289
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,768
Well, what the hell, you know?
290
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,644
You called it wrong.
291
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,729
What are you going to do?
292
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,525
There's no right or wrong
in this business.
293
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,927
There's only hits and misses.
294
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,646
There's gold here.
295
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,366
I'm glad you said that, Mike.
296
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,807
I truly am, 'cause I...
297
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,010
...believe you.
298
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,407
I hate to dash your hopes,
but don't you think
299
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,488
others have come along
before you with the same thought
300
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,525
and, from the looks of it,
deeper pockets?
301
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,325
Ring of Fire is real, Mike.
302
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,805
I knew it
the first time I heard.
303
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,604
It struck me like
a fucking lightning bolt,
304
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,324
and I never forgot it.
305
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,488
Go ahead, laugh.
I get that all the time.
306
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,080
But hear this.
307
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,407
I don't just believe.
308
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,965
I know.
309
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,162
- No, you don't.
- I've seen it.
310
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,409
You don't understand.
311
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,729
- No one will back me.
- I will.
312
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,968
You tell me where
you want to dig, Mikey,
313
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,970
and I'll make goddamn sure
the bills are paid.
314
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,844
No offense, Wells, but...
315
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,691
you look like you had to rob
someone just to get here, man.
316
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,644
You know nothing about me.
317
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,967
You know it's still out there.
318
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,282
I know that.
319
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,290
I can see it in your eyes.
You still believe.
320
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,482
I get it, and I was born on
the side of the mountain, too.
321
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,125
My-my father scratched
everything he ever owned
322
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,605
out of a fucking rock.
All right?
323
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,881
Died with dirt
under his fingernails,
324
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,684
and I intend to do the same.
325
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,569
This business...
326
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,324
wrote me off years ago.
327
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,646
All right, maybe you're
not running the hottest
328
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,886
in your career
right now either,
329
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,206
so let's prove them wrong.
330
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,481
You and me.
331
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,766
Let's prove them all
fucking wrong.
332
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,166
And you know why?
333
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,681
You do know why,
because the Ring of Fire
334
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,963
is right, Mike.
You called it.
335
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,811
You just haven't found it yet.
336
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,047
Tell me I'm crazy.
337
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,567
I'll be on the next plane.
338
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,608
You're crazy.
339
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,810
You have a hat, Wells?
340
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,361
Yeah, I got a hat.
341
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,931
Why, we going somewhere?
342
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,691
MIKE:
Up river.
343
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,201
KENNY".
What river is that, Mike?
344
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,010
You're late.
345
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,929
MIKE:
The only one that matters.
346
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,889
MIKE: The Dayak have been
panning this river
347
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,480
for over 5,000 years.
348
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,041
That's how it got its name,
349
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,208
Daya Kensana.
350
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,924
What's it mean?
351
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,804
"Daya" means "upstream."
352
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,802
"Kensana" means "gold."
353
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,281
You got to be shitting me.
354
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,965
MIKE: Wells.
355
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,241
Wells.
356
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:52,930
We're here.
357
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,249
So, listen, the Dayak
are warrior people,
358
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:58,886
probably best known for ngayau,
359
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,604
headhunfing.
360
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,166
But it doesn't happen much
anymore.
361
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,169
They might be thinking
we're some traders
362
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,446
or someone's mother-in-law.
363
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,370
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
364
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,609
(hooting)
365
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,801
KENNY:
How long?
366
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,447
MIKE (panting): This jungle
will... will test you.
367
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,850
It will hold you up, weigh you,
368
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,724
and decide your worth
within an ounce.
369
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,569
Do you always talk
like this, Mike?
370
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,206
Like a book on tape?
(grunts)
371
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,641
MIKE:
I suppose I do.
372
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,525
KENNY (panting):
Where are we going?
373
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,324
MIKE:
Up.
374
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,524
(groaning and breathing hard)
375
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,570
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
376
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,287
Take a look.
377
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,801
(panting)
378
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,324
Oh, my God.
379
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,888
It's my dream.
380
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,889
MIKE: There have been
a few folks up here
381
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,809
tapping over the years,
382
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,764
but have all focused on the
foothills far to the south.
383
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,248
But what interests me
is the other way.
384
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:37,408
That small depression,
385
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,241
like a giant left a footprint
walking away.
386
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,886
Something happened
there, Wells.
387
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,886
Something hot and angry.
388
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,606
That's where we'll find
the tasty bits.
389
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,485
My dream...
390
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,288
...is out there.
391
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,528
MIKE:
Damn right it is.
392
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,568
KENNY".
Look, if it's the big boys
393
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,409
that you're thinking about
investing in us--
394
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,124
you know,
the Harvard endowment
395
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,726
or some...
some pension fund, right?--
396
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,320
I am not your guy.
397
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,966
But the little guys, right,
398
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:20,724
guys that you don't even
know about,
399
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,524
the, uh, the hustlers,
the scrappers,
400
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,449
the make-it-happen
motherfuckers,
401
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,483
those are my guys.
402
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,491
How much do we need?
403
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,321
Seven. Seven-fifty to start.
404
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,841
0K8)’-
405
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,371
How much do we need?
406
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,562
It isn't just a lease.
407
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,364
We're in Indonesia.
408
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,684
That means getting a permit
and lining pockets.
409
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,609
Equipment.
You don't just do this
410
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,210
with a couple of shovels
and a pickax.
411
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:53,930
I'll get the money.
412
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,769
Whatever it takes.
413
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,211
(bird cawing)
414
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,281
- What's that?
- It's a contract.
415
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,890
Read it.
416
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,968
Sign it.
417
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,968
Keep it.
418
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,211
KENNY".
I could feel it in my bones.
419
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,091
I was selling something
that I believed in.
420
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:40,646
20-K minimum buy-in, right,
421
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,524
and the shares are fucking
flying off the shelf.
422
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,846
I mean, no risk,
no gain, right?
423
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,440
No, 'cause it's coming in
right now.
424
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,289
No, Acosta. Michael Acosta.
425
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,526
It's the largest
copper strike in history,
426
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,085
and that's the guy
that we got.
427
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,884
Kay, get those shoes shined
for dancing, baby.
428
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,126
MIKE: We don't even have
the exploration permits.
429
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,607
What are they selling?
430
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,250
What are we selling?
431
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,009
Mikey, we're selling the story.
432
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,930
And right now,
the story is you.
433
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,247
Speaking of which, what the fuck
are you doing right now?
434
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:09,931
I'm down in Kupang City
looking at coring equipment.
435
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,930
Acosta's in Kupang City
looking at coring equipment.
436
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,610
He's in Kupang City
as we speak.
437
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,563
It-it's a fucking...
438
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,330
Kupang City. We're getting
the coring equipment...
439
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,124
You're magic, Mike.
You're fucking magic.
440
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,727
You there, Mike?
441
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,248
Two hundred
and sixty-seven thousand
442
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,408
four hundred and thirty-four...
443
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,284
dollars.
444
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,846
That's not exactly the number
I had in mind, Wells.
445
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,167
KENNY: Well, look, I may be able
to borrow a little bit
446
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,089
against it, but, you know...
447
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,929
No, you know what?
Truth, Mike?
448
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,326
Th-that's it for now.
449
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,245
Th-that's it.
Can you make it work? Hmm?
450
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,166
I can make anything work.
451
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,045
You work out of a bar, Wells?
452
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,527
Keeping a lid on expenses,
Mike.
453
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,802
Making the dollar holler.
454
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,490
-We're in!
-(cheering)
455
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,330
(shouts in local language)
456
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,961
KENNY:
Record player. That's classy.
457
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,684
Am I paying for that, Mikey?
458
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,529
Six-man crews,
459
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,803
12-hour shifts
around the clock.
460
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,571
Tomorrow we'll start looking
at our core samples.
461
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,170
Then we'll send
the most promising
462
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,760
down river to the assay lab.
463
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,564
The mother lode, Mike.
464
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,008
You're out there, baby.
465
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,925
("This Must Be the Place"
by Kishi Bashi plays)
466
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,001
(sizzling)
467
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,448
The man that invented
the hamburger was smart, Mike.
468
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,086
The man who invented
the cheeseburger,
469
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,850
now, that's the genius.
470
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,731
Don't ask where
the meat came from. Hmm?
471
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,930
MIKE: Have you ever read
Christopher Columbus' journals?
472
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,849
KENNY:
Of course not.
473
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,611
MIKE: In his petition
to the queen of Spain,
474
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,489
he promised the conversion
475
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,407
to her holy faith
of a great number of peoples.
476
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,441
And he went on
and mentioned God 26 times.
477
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,042
Gold, on the other hand,
478
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,210
he mentioned 114 times.
479
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,845
KENNY:
Smart dago.
480
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,042
MIKE: I've been wanting
to ask you something, Wells.
481
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,690
KENNY:
Fire away, Mike.
482
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,121
What's the meaning of
the tattoo on your arm?
483
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,890
Oh, it's a bird.
484
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,206
It's from a poem I read
when I was a kid.
485
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,482
Bird with no feet...
(whistles)
486
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,443
sleeps in the wind.
487
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,891
(Mike chuckles)
488
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,169
MAN:
Assay!
489
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,362
Assay! Assay!
490
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,370
(speaking local language)
491
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,730
Mike, Mike!
492
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,884
Hey. These things, they look
worse every time we get one.
493
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,604
Do you remember what
I told you about patience?
494
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,569
Yeah, you-you remember
what I told you about money?
495
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:55,881
-Yeah.
-Huh?
496
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,729
- You said that it wasn't
a problem. -Well, it...
497
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,410
it's a fucking problem now!
498
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,048
(thunder rumbling)
499
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,441
Hey!
500
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,281
Hey!
501
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,686
Hey...
502
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:54,687
Hey, wait!
503
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,801
Stay! Stay! Stay! Stay!
504
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,887
(speaks local language)
505
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,362
Hey!
506
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,845
Stay...
507
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,729
Hey! Stay-
508
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,126
Stay!
509
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,562
On top of everything else,
510
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,008
I... I got a bad case
of malaria,
511
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,566
which kills like something
like a million people a year,
512
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,091
something like that.
513
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,283
Suddenly, I was on the list.
514
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,800
Maybe... maybe we were
pushing them too hard.
515
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,924
Maybe we should just
take it easy, you know?
516
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,525
Cut them in.
517
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,007
You know,
give them some ownership.
518
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,489
Maybe they'll come back,
you know?
519
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,602
Let them know that they
got something at the end,
520
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,444
you know,
when it all works out.
521
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,684
(mutters)
522
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,121
Give them a piece of the pie,
you know?
523
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,321
Get up.
524
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,681
Come on, get up.
525
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,730
I'm freezing, Mike.
526
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,410
(Kenny breathing heavily)
527
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,721
Don't let me die
and have nothing, okay?
528
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,130
Get some rest now.
529
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,048
(Kenny coughing)
530
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,802
(Mike speaking local language)
531
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,047
(speaking local language)
532
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,407
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
533
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,604
I'm pulling the plug.
534
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,329
No.
535
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,290
No, no, no, no, no.
536
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,283
Don't pull the plug, Mike.
537
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,087
No, no.
You can't do that, Mikey.
538
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,204
Let's get you
out of here, Wells.
539
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,084
What's the plan, Mikey?
540
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,004
Hmm?
541
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,767
Now, I know you got
a plan, Mike, hmm?
542
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,281
I know you got a plan.
543
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,244
What's the plan, hmm?
544
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,447
What's the plan?
545
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,206
They need clean water.
546
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,731
If we get filter systems
up here,
547
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,968
I think they might come back.
548
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,481
(laughing)
549
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,800
I got about $1,800
on this Visa right there.
550
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,924
Close to 500
on this Diner's Club.
551
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,527
Use it all, hmm?
552
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,961
Use it all, Mikey.
553
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,526
(laughs, coughing)
554
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,411
(clears his throat)
555
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,966
KENNY".
Damned if he didn't go
556
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,605
to every single place
557
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,087
that every one
of our workers lived.
558
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,407
Streams that had no name.
559
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,444
All feeding
the great Kensana River.
560
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,161
Whoa!
561
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,725
(chanflflg)
562
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,764
(indistinct chatter,
cheeflng)
563
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,088
(engine revving)
564
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,846
KENNY:
But you know what?
565
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,644
The workers came back.
566
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,689
I spent the next few weeks
in a malarial haze.
567
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,882
Should've been dead.
568
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,408
But Mike kept it all going.
569
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,007
(coughing)
570
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,287
(gasping)
571
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:14,404
(panting)
572
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,448
What day is it?
573
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,410
MIKE:
Noidea.
574
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,528
-Month?
-August.
575
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:33,484
You been sitting there
this whole time?
576
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,608
Let's not get carried away.
577
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,684
What'd the report say?
What's the news?
578
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,769
We pulled 17 more cores.
579
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,648
What?
580
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,491
- No good?
- No good.
581
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,965
Mm.
582
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,649
More in the vicinity of great.
583
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,408
Fuck you, Mike.
Don't mess with me, man.
584
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,446
Eighth of an ounce per ton.
585
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,849
Eighth... eighth of
an ounce per what?
586
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,042
Eighth of an ounce per ton.
587
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,762
What... what are you...
what are you saying, Mike?
588
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,247
We got a strike in.
589
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:37,965
We got a gold mine?
590
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,406
(chuckles)
591
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,727
-We got a gold mine?
-We got a gold mine.
592
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,803
(laughing)
593
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,445
We got a gold mine, Mike!
We got a gold mine, Mike!
594
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,881
-We got a gold mine.
-We got a goddamn gold mine!
595
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,207
We got a gold mine!
596
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,005
We got a goddamn gold mine!
597
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,531
We got a goddamn...
598
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,091
BOTH:
Gold mine!
599
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,690
We got a gold mine!
600
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:02,926
-(laughing)
- I knew it, I knew it,
601
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,646
I knew it, I knew it,
I knew it.
602
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,125
(both screaming)
603
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,642
We got a goddamn gold mine!
604
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,250
Fuck you, mosquitoes!
605
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,930
-(cork POPS)
-(cheering)
606
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,042
KENNY".
That moment...
607
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,568
there's no way I could possibly
describe the feeling.
608
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,569
It's amazing
how a little gold dust
609
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,842
can just change everything.
610
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,482
Now, for better or worse,
the ride had begun,
611
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,568
and what a goddamn ride.
612
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,001
(laughter)
613
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,246
Okay, 0K8)’-
614
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,521
Oh, thank God.
615
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,324
(laughter, excited chatter)
616
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,761
-To the best goddamn team
in the business. -Fucking-A.
617
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,041
You're a stand-up guy, Kenny.
618
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,686
-Sharing the wealth.
-Crazy, huh?
619
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,801
To the mother lode.
620
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,604
OTHERS:
The mother lode.
621
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,485
("Spill the Wine"
by the lsley Brothers plays)
622
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,770
All right, baby.
Do me a favor.
623
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,325
Close your eyes, will ya?
624
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,442
-All right.
-Cover them with your hands.
625
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,686
(Kay laughing)
626
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,484
- KENNY: Keep 'em closed.
- Okay.
627
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,961
-I got you. I got you.
I got you. -Oh. Okay.
628
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,728
One, two, three.
629
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,764
It's gonna be our place.
630
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,565
Away from it all, above it all,
just like we always wanted.
631
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,045
You like it?
632
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,730
-Huh?
-Yes, of... Yes.
633
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,765
Okay, look... the house...
right here, all right?
634
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,531
The kitchen, facing there.
The great room over here.
635
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,483
-Two fireplaces.
-No...
636
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,681
Can we afford this?
637
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,689
Almost, baby. Almost.
We're almost there.
638
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,848
All right, look at this.
Couple bedrooms on that end.
639
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,644
-Couple bedrooms on that end.
-Okay.
640
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,683
Look at this playground
for the kids, huh?
641
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,040
How many kids
you want to have?
642
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,844
(Kay laughing)
643
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,371
KAY:
Kitchen has to stay over here.
644
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,970
We gotta put it over here
645
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,320
-to get the morning light.
-Yes!
646
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,805
And a second kitchen
over on this side.
647
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,048
-A third one across the creek.
-(Kay laughing)
648
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,049
A fourth one
up there with the elk.
649
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,681
(crickets chirping)
650
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,528
-Kenny, Kenny.
-Mm?
651
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,926
This is Walt Kealer.
652
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,844
-He publishes
Gold Digger magazine. -Mm.
653
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,002
WALT: We reach
half a million subscribers,
654
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,531
and they'd all love to know
655
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,369
what you got cooking
over there in Indonesia.
656
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,403
If you have a minute,
I'll buy you a drink.
657
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,322
He's all yours, Walt.
658
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,331
Hell, I read
Gold Digger magazine.
659
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,329
Come on over.
660
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,329
They say you bring this in,
you'll get the Golden Pickaxe.
661
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,209
-(quietly): Aw, shut up.
-What do you say about that?
662
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,529
(laughs): I'd say you
probably just jinxed it.
663
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,689
-How many ounces you guessing?
-Hmm.
664
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,644
Millions, Walt.
Absolutely millions.
665
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,966
Placer mining?
666
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,606
No. Hard rock.
This is varsity ball.
667
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,210
How's the infrastructure?
668
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,924
KENNY: Building it
from the ground up.
669
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,045
Any message
you'd like to give
670
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,401
to the readers
of Gold Digger magazine?
671
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,169
The last card you turn over
is the only one that matters.
672
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,090
-Kenny, it's good to see you.
-Good morning, Beverly.
673
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,123
Clive, how are you?
674
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,607
-There he is.
-Good to see you, sir.
675
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:33,688
- It's good to see you, son.
- Mm-hmm.
676
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,531
CLIVE:
You know, your father and I,
677
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,802
we started together
in this business.
678
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,446
Hell, I mean,
he put me in the business.
679
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,210
I don't have to tell you that.
680
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,688
He always spoke very highly
of you, Clive.
681
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,643
He's one of the best men
I ever knew.
682
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:50,926
-Yeah.
-Now!
683
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,128
You have gone
from four to 23 cents
684
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:55,368
on your first assay results.
685
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,450
And you pulled in two more
to confirm those findings?
686
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,449
Three more.
687
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,686
-Three more?
-Mm-hmm.
688
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,080
Well, that's fantastic.
689
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,124
Well, I would like
to underwrite
690
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:09,449
a private placement
of Washoe stock.
691
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,090
And I believe that we can raise
692
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,328
anywhere between
$8 million and $10 million.
693
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:14,720
Well, capital is definitely
694
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,569
at the top of our agenda
right now.
695
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,091
Well, yes, it is.
696
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,806
And a lot of people are going
to want to make this deal,
697
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,285
but history is on our side.
698
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,686
Mm-hmm.
699
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,325
But I just wish you'd
brought this to me sooner.
700
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,011
-I could have helped you
from the get-go. -Hey.
701
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,727
- Well, here we are.
- Here we are.
702
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,251
Lloyd...
703
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,601
top that off for me,
will you?
704
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:39,930
Straight black
with a spicer chaser.
705
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,930
(exhales)
706
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,202
(Kenny speaks indistinctly)
707
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,328
Mr. Wells, uh, coffee.
708
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,771
There we are, Lloyd.
Thank you.
709
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,008
Stanton, Mr. Wells has agreed
710
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,841
to give us his business
on one condition.
711
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,201
Lloyd, I want you
712
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,402
to personally handle
my account.
713
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,170
-(sighs heavily)
-|-| need you to be
714
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,805
available to me 24/7,
715
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,329
365, as you will be riding
shotgun in my jockstrap.
716
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,171
Absolutely. Yes. Thank you.
717
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,441
Well, let's quit
standing around here
718
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,005
and go make
some goddamn money, huh?
719
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,326
That sounds good to me.
720
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,684
MIKE:
Kenny? Kenny?
721
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,609
Kenny, did you read
the last report?
722
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,365
Kenny, did you read
the last report?
723
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,811
KENNY".
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
724
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,764
No, I'm looking at them
right now. Holy shit!
725
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,486
Holy shit is right,
my friend.
726
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,251
(both laughing)
727
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:55,370
KENNY".
No, it's unbelievable.
728
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:57,886
Holy shit.
729
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,929
Bobby, I can hear your wife
730
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,280
smiling from here.
731
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,890
Right back where you belong,
Kenny.
732
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,401
Yeah, there's a lot of ghosts
in this building, boys.
733
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,761
-(elevator bell dings)
- Oh, nice work, Todd!
734
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,803
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
735
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,851
KENNY:
All right, men.
736
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,122
Now, this stock is going
to start cooking.
737
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:38,810
Make sure you put
a little bit away.
738
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,491
Sell some. Just the long way.
Just in case.
739
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:42,886
-Especially you.
-What?
740
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,126
-Put a little bit away.
-|...
741
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:45,321
For the first time
in your life,
742
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,965
think rainy day, Bobby, okay?
743
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,411
-Of-of course. Of course.
-Hey.
744
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:49,931
-What?
-Okay?
745
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,327
_()kay.
_Q| 00:44:06,370
Oh, we're going to be
so fucking rich.
747
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,250
At least look like
you're working, man.
748
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,524
-(knocking on door)
-MAN: Yeah?
749
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,490
What do you got?
750
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,404
Wildcatters, basically.
751
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,006
This Mike Acosta
has had some success. Copper.
752
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,407
Got taken over
by Freeport Mac.
753
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,364
- It's all in there.
- Yeah. I've heard of Acosta.
754
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,967
-I like this.
-LLOYD: Bu!‘ I think We start
755
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,367
with the good news,
which is that we are, uh,
756
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,927
50% allocated and, uh,
we want to set aside, uh,
757
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,844
3O of the remaining 5O
for you boys...
758
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:02,247
There's more food here.
Don't drink through lunch.
759
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:03,521
-All right?
-(other laughing)
760
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,608
Or just eat something as well.
(laughs)
761
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:07,449
-(phone ringing)
-Hey, Kay! -Phone!
762
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,689
-What?
-Phone, please.
763
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,763
-That one. Thank you.
-You want me to answer it?
764
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,684
Hello.
765
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,485
Uh, Washoe Mining.
How may I direct your call?
766
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,961
- Hi. Uh, Kenneth Wells, please.
- Please hold.
767
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,048
Kenny, you got a call!
768
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,404
-Thank you, dear.
-Love you, baby.
769
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:29,407
All right.
770
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,646
Kenny Wells.
771
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,481
This is Brian Woolf at
Brown, Thomas in New York.
772
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,648
I'm with the minerals
and oil group.
773
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,205
No shit.
774
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,410
(Snapping fingers)
775
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,000
Uh-huh.
776
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,570
Uh-huh.
777
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,525
Well, that sounds
outstanding, Brian.
778
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,085
And let me tell you something.
779
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,804
I'm looking forward to it.
780
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:54,971
All right.
781
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,881
- ♪ ♪
- They're fucking flying me out.
782
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,286
- They're fucking flying me out.
-(laughter)
783
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,282
(Kay squeals)
784
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:09,930
Come on!
785
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,843
KENNY".
Yeah, the way I see it,
786
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,567
what banks do-- who knows?
787
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,968
But what made this country
is not tight asses in suits--
788
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,485
no offense--
taking the easy way down,
789
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,648
but guys like me and Mike
who jump.
790
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,125
What we have
791
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:29,527
is a private placement
in play here.
792
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,484
Already over 50% subscribed.
793
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,648
Now, if the numbers
keep coming in good,
794
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,485
which...
they're fucking going to,
795
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,171
the sky is the limit
on this thing.
796
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,691
You don't have to sell us.
We've done the math.
797
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,006
We believe you're sitting on
798
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,804
the largest gold find
of the decade.
799
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,287
May I speak plainly,
Mr. Wells?
800
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,761
Of course, Brian.
That's the only way to speak.
801
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,167
Our clients are going to want
to see a serious plan
802
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,642
to turn lab results
in a volatile region
803
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,206
into an investment we can all
stake our reputations on.
804
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:00,207
It's not going to be a problem.
805
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,526
No, it's not a problem, per se,
806
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,120
but the fact remains
that neither of you have taken
807
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:05,890
a find of this magnitude
through production.
808
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,168
KENNY (chuckles):
Wait just a minute there, Brian.
809
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,806
We-we found it,
we can dig it up.
810
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,291
- It's not that complicated.
- Actually,
811
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,289
historically, we found
it could be quite complicated,
812
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,129
and we'd like the opportunity
813
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:19,289
to help you formulate how you
present the operation side.
814
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,804
Wh-what-what exactly
does that mean?
815
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,445
I'd like you both to consider
816
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,090
bringing on
a strategic partner.
817
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,680
Oh.
818
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:30,847
(glass clanks)
819
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,564
All right.
(clears throat)
820
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,411
Have any of you ever
821
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,727
set one of your...
your handmade loafers
822
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,923
down in the hole
in the side of a mountain?
823
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,769
- No.
- No. We have.
824
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,325
Washoe has history.
825
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,727
We've done a fairly thorough
analysis of Washoe,
826
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,844
Mr. Wells, and we feel
like you need strategic help.
827
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,129
No. No way. No.
This is a new day, all right'?
828
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:55,402
And Indonesia
is goddamn different.
829
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,727
We can help you get off
the side of that mountain.
830
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:58,927
I don't need any help
831
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,042
getting off the side
of the goddamn mountain.
832
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,844
I can land this plane.
833
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,041
I can!
834
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,766
Wells came and found me.
835
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,644
I was at a low point,
I have to admit.
836
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,401
It happens in this business,
ups and downs.
837
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,649
But he backed me
with his last cent,
838
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,047
and more than that,
he risked his life,
839
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,889
almost lost it, actually.
840
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,731
It was touch and go there
for a bit.
841
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,650
And now we have the bull
by its horns.
842
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,967
KENNY: And, boys,
they're big fucking horns.
843
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,531
MIKE:
I've worked with the best,
844
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,008
and I can tell you Kenny Wells
is up there with them.
845
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,124
BRIAN: We're not by any stretch
of the imagination
846
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:39,527
suggesting at this moment
that anybody take a backseat.
847
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,927
-Just be open to strategic
alliances. -No fucking...
848
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,246
way!
849
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,967
(muffled shouting)
850
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,684
It's a dime out of every one
of my dollars,
851
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:49,687
not your dollars!
852
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,165
I said no a second ago.
853
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,691
You want to invest?
We got the gold.
854
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,131
-We can talk about it.
-(Mike sighs)
855
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:55,969
Don't need a fucking partner.
I know that.
856
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,447
You know,
there's something about...
857
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,961
finding gold...
858
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,401
that is so difficult
to put into words.
859
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,730
It's real difficult.
860
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,126
Taste of it on your tongue.
861
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,720
The feel of it
between your fingers,
862
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,081
it's... it's electric.
863
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,327
It's like a drug,
864
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,761
'cause it hooks you.
865
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,043
And it's precisely what you're
missing here in the city.
866
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,401
It's what makes it so hard for
us to have this conversation
867
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,126
because you have never felt it.
868
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,809
So I have a proposal for you.
869
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,843
Put together
your institutional players,
870
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,328
the guys who rep
the big money.
871
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,489
Whoever needs to kick
the tires on this thing.
872
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,809
I will take them
on a little trip up the river.
873
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,644
So... it was Acosta
874
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,127
who proposed
the-the junket in Kensana?
875
00:49:56,240 --> 00:49:58,811
Or did you cook that up
together?
876
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,486
KENNY: Oh, Jennings, you're...
you're not getting it.
877
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,446
Look, we-we didn't feel like
we had to cook up anything.
878
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,847
I mean, I had people
coming at me from all sides.
879
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,769
My-my neighbor, Hart Hubbard,
880
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,769
he's a lawn care
professional.
881
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,008
Usually only worried about
Kay's mulberry tree
882
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,531
leaning over
the back of his fence,
883
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,881
but now
he's dropping mining terms.
884
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,810
"Hey, Kenny, how's the grade
purity over there at Kensana?
885
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,605
I hear it's great.
How about the core frequency?"
886
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,166
Hart fucking Hubbard.
He mows grass for a living.
887
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,561
-We interviewed Mr. Hubbard.
-What I'm saying is we didn't
888
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:29,966
think we needed
to cook up anything.
889
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,326
Everybody wanted in.
890
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,284
So it was Acosta who proposed
the banker junket?
891
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,530
Yes.
892
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,729
It was a genius move.
893
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,320
KENNY:
Now, you get outside,
894
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,523
stick close to me
and hang on to your wallets.
895
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,444
(horns honking)
896
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,807
(speaks indistinctly)
897
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,843
Come on, come on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
898
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,564
Back, back, back, back, back,
back, back, back, back.
899
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,409
There he is.
900
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,763
Gentlemen, Mike Acosta.
901
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,370
Glen.
902
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:08,811
Acosta.
903
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:09,921
-Bobby.
-Acosta.
904
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,371
Jeff Jackson.
905
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,608
If any one of you
wants to turn back,
906
00:51:13,720 --> 00:51:15,085
this is your chance.
907
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,486
What's that?
908
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,329
(laughing)
909
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,522
He's just messing with you.
Welcome to lndo, boys.
910
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,000
MIKE:
When we got the hit,
911
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,122
we stepped out
in a radiating pattern
912
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:29,244
and we kept going until
we had the definitive picture.
913
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,886
We're mapping
the underlying geology.
914
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,561
The cores are cut into
sections, and then crushed.
915
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:36,886
(metallic clang)
916
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,685
They are then bagged
and sealed.
917
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,691
This cage is guarded 24/7.
918
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,849
Under guard, the samples
are sent down river
919
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,327
to independent labs
in Kalimantan.
920
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,568
If a seal is broken
or damaged in any way,
921
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,763
the lab, by law, has to discard
the entire sample.
922
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,723
Every safeguard
has been put in place
923
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,808
to assure the security
of the process.
924
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,686
Diamond-tipped saw blades,
rock crushers.
925
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,280
Core samples being ripped
from the guts of the Earth.
926
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,289
It all sounds great, but...
927
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,681
...you boys want to see
some gold.
928
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,566
No one's going to believe
this shit.
929
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,284
So, what do you think?
930
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:24,964
Not sure. What about you?
931
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,605
Acosta seems to know
what he's talking about,
932
00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:28,688
but, uh, I don't know.
933
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,801
Hey. He)’-
934
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,081
Come here, come here.
935
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:35,765
I think I...
I think I got something.
936
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:51,446
See this?
937
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:53,686
Few more like this,
938
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,007
you can pave Wall Street.
939
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,806

pulled that nugget out,
941
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:02,931
we had 'em.

Waldorf Astoria, ma'am.
951
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,767
We'll get your bags
right upstairs.
952
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:55,963
Kenny?
953
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,605
Are you here?
954
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,411
Baby?
955
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,249

Oh, my goodness.

You surprised?
959
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:14,765
Yeah.
960
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,204
It's your favorite flower,
right?
961
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:21,847
Babe.
962
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,681
You look beautiful, Kay.
963
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,723
Come here.
964
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,525
I have missed you so much.
965
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,120
You have no idea.
966
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,649
(moaning)
967
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,162
Are these the softest sheets
you've ever felt?
968
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,328
-Yeah, you know,
I think they are. -Yeah.
969
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,250

- Yeah.

Oh, hello, men.
971
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,846
Everyone, meet the lovely Kay.

-Brian. -Hi.
-Nice to meet you.
973
00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:08,605

-Stanton, you know.
-Hey.

that sweats as much as I do.

All right, let's do this, huh?

Ah, there he is.

Mike, meet Kay.
981

Two of my favorite people
in the world.
982
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,411
You know this one stole
my watch to go meet you.
983
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,681
- You stole her watch?
- Oh, no, no, no. -No...
984
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:29,881
- I'm just teasing.
- She's just teasing.
985
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,166
-No, you're not.
-No, she's not.
986
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:32,441
- No, I'm not.
-(laughing)

I got to go.

-Take the east coast team

every fucking time.
You know why?
1016
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,407
The west coast team-- to them,
they're playing after midnight.

On the team.

Cheers to that. You got to be

too close,

- It's your raccoon.
- Mm.

You let it run a
multi-billion-dollar company?
1033
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:07,606
What, and lose you as a client
1034
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,370
and half the rest
of my business?

and there's risks.

a good fucking day.

00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,170
gold will grow on you.
1053
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,089
(laughing)
1054
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,163
-I can see that now.
-Mm.
1055
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,366
-I don't want to talk about it.
-What did...
1056
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:20,851
I wasn't doing anything.
1057
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,962
I said I don't want
to talk about it!
1058
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,003
Well, what the fuck
should I have done, huh?
1059
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,531
Just bend her over the table
right there
1060
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:27,880
and fucking banged her
in front of everybody?
1061
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,490
You are too drunk
to get it up anyway.
1062
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,682
I'll take that challenge, baby.
1063
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,805
I don't care about you flirting
with Miss Pneumatic 1988.
1064
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:37,763
You think I haven't seen
that shit before, Kenny?
1065
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,370
She had tiny
little fucking titties.
1066
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:40,766
You don't think
they were real?
1067
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,083
No, none of this is real.
None of it.
1068
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,361
KENNY:
Why are you fucking...
1069
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,084
We made it!
1070
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,090
-Shit.
-Baby, what the fuck?!
1071
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,568
You know what
your problem is, Kay?
1072
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,044
-No. Why don't you tell me.
-You've got no vision.
1073
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:03,844
Right? Fucking vision.
1074
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,088
Your vision starts right here,
and it goes to right here.
1075
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:07,611
Right here
is the fucking kitchen sink,
1076
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,563
and right here's
the goddamn parking lot
1077
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,967
at the furniture store.
1078
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,560
-Come on.
-You mean an actual job
1079
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,682
that would support a person
in the place they live?
1080
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,165
You mean that vision?
1081
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:21,560
You know what? Fuck you.
1082
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,967
-Ah, Kay, fuck me.
-Fuck you.
1083
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:25,286
Fuck you. Fuck...
Wh-wh-what, what?
1084
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,210
Don't you see
what's happening here?
1085
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:29,367
Oh, great. Go...
Yeah, yeah.
1086
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,528
Pack your shit, run back
to your shitty life, huh?
1087
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,120
-You know what?
I like my shitty life. -Christ.
1088
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,368
- It's mine.
- Fucking giving this up.
1089
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,006
You always wanted
a broken bird, didn't you?
1090
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:40,565
Said the right things,
but in here,
1091
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,842
you never fucking believed
in me, did you?
1092
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,642
You never believed in me,
did you, Kay?
1093
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,445
Hmm? You like me losing,
don't you?
1094
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,449
-How can you even say that?
-It makes you feel comfortable,
1095
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,050
doesn't it?
Does it feel comfortable, Kay?
1096
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,761
These people are using you.
1097
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,486
-They don't care about you.
-I don't fucking...
1098
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,568
(crying): And they certainly
don't believe in you.
1099
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:05,967
-Yeah, but, Kay, I found gold.
-(crying): Goddamn...
1100
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:07,241
Now we're winning, babe.
1101
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,328
Would you just let me
have the win?
1102
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,481
We're winning!
1103
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,529
(glass breaking)
1104
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,566
It ever occur to you
that I know what I'm doing?
1105
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:22,841
I hope you do.
1106
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,450
Huh?
1107
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:25,527
I do.
1108
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,925
-I love what's in there...
-Mm.
1109
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:33,849
more than you'll ever know.
1110
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,361
These guys are going
to tear you up.
1111
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,331
Mm.
1112
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,284
Don't ask me to watch
what happens next.
1113
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,562
I know what I'm doing, Kay.
1114
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,523
I know what I'm fucking doing.
1115
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:49,721
(door slam shut)
1116
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,681
JENNINGS:
What'd you do next, Wells?
1117
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,921
What did I do?
1118
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,291
I rode it.
1119
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,526
I rode it, Jennings.
1120
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,290
(chatter, laughter)
1121
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,290
BARTENDER: Another double.
Seagram's on the rocks.
1122
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,164
Yes, sir.
1123
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:34,281
RACHEL:
And I'll have the same.
1124
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,725
Oh, goddamn.
You don't have to impress me.
1125
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,730
Reminds me of my childhood.
1126
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,763
So how is everything
1127
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,327
in the very enchanted world
of Kenny Wells?
1128
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,767
I feel like a million bucks,
1129
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,247
only a few hundred
times better.
1130
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,721
That must be
a very nice feeling.
1131
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,002
Yeah.
It looks like there's a...
1132
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,283
a few other people around here
with a similar feeling.
1133
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,323
Mm, maybe.
1134
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,410
Maybe not.
1135
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,488
(crickets chirping,
water splashing)
1136
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,361
KENNY: How does someone
like yourself end up, uh, here?
1137
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,289
I know Tom.
1138
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:16,640
Tom is a friend.
1139
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,802
- Oh, I bet he is.
-(laughs) Now, now.
1140
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,730
I stay with his cousin,
Timmy, down the lane.
1141
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,125
Timmy's really quite
a character,
1142
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,765
if you get to know him.
1143
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,405
I don't know Timmy.
1144
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,241
I don't really
feel like talking.
1145
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,131
Let's just feel things.
1146
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,363
MAN:
Wells.
1147
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,571
-Kenny Wells?
-KENNY: Uh-huh.
1148
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,205
Mark Hancock.
1149
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,403
Seems I've caught you at a bit
of a disadvantage, Mr. Wells.
1150
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:55,891
Depends on how you look at it.
1151
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,002
Kenny goddamn Wells, Mark.
1152
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,202
This is Rachel.
1153
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:01,242
Oh, I know the lovely Rachel.
1154
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,169
KENNY: You know,
this son of a bitch here,
1155
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,329
he controls more gold than
anybody on the goddamn planet.
1156
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,762
With the possible exception now
of Mr. Wells.
1157
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,369
This is how it happens, huh?
1158
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,968
This is how it happens.
1159
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,526
Goddamn.
1160
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,405
("Temptation"
by New Order plays)
1161
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,290
MARK".
What can I tell you?
1162
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,004
- Kenny, it's a generous offer.
- It's a fucking joke!
1163
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:43,246
Let's-let's take this...
1164
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,931
This isn't a deal, Brian.
This is a goddamn rape.
1165
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,281
- Listen... listen to me.
- No, no, this is mine!
1166
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,402
It's mine! |-| found it!
1167
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,483
Me and Mike.
We were the ones up to our ass
1168
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,331
in the mud and the shit
and the malaria.
1169
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,881
And this little prick
offers a minority partnership?
1170
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,650
Kenny, let's keep
some perspective here, okay?
1171
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,683
Whenever anybody offers
this amount of money,
1172
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:02,926
it's a good day.
1173
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,405
You may say yes,
you may say no,
1174
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,170
but it's not like anybody's
trying to offend you.
1175
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:07,725
Well, mission
goddamn not accomplished.
1176
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,683
Hancock and Newport Holdings
have the expertise
1177
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,529
and the experience
to bring this home.
1178
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,324
-This was always there
as a contingency. -No, no.
1179
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,363
-You know that.
-No, no, no.
1180
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,687
This is when Washoe Mining
becomes a player,
1181
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,330
right here,
right fucking now.
1182
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,886
Not Mark fucking Hancock
and Newport Holdings.
1183
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,522
I don't even see our name
on here, Brian.
1184
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,170
You took our fucking name...
1185
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,647
you took my name off it.
1186
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,206
But if we take
a step back here,
1187
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,049
wouldn't it not be terrible
1188
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,003
to sit back
and enjoy your success?
1189
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:37,724
"Wouldn't it not be terrible"?
1190
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,127
What the fuck kind of way
of talking is that, Brian?
1191
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:41,685
W-W-Wouldn't it not be terrible
1192
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:42,926
if I bend over
and grab my ankles
1193
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,088
so you could fuck me
up the ass?
1194
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,402
You think you can buy me out
and take my name?
1195
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,568
Or just throw Kenny Wells
to the fucking cornfield?
1196
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,648
Fuck you, Brian.
1197
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,286
If we hit pause for a second
1198
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,802
and consider, without emotion,
1199
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,450
I think you'll realize
1200
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,325
that this is one of those
very rare moments
1201
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,808
where, with a stroke of a pen,
no one in your family--
1202
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,968
I'm talking your children's
grandchildren--
1203
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,368
will ever have to worry
about money again.
1204
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,166
You see these hands, Brian?
1205
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,284
These are my father's hands.
1206
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,368
I have scratched and clawed
through the hot earth
1207
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:44,811
with these hands,
1208
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,481
and I will bury you
with these hands.
1209
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:55,002
Now, you go tell that silky
sable, Mark Hancock...
1210
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,771
he works for Kenny Wells.
1211
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,645
My fucking d8)’-
1212
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,410
My day!
1213
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:09,888
(sighs)
1214
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,731
You know,
I almost respect this guy.
1215
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:16,881
JENNINGS:
That was a pretty foolish
1216
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:18,530
business decision, wasn't it?
1217
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,484
You're a foot away
from living in your car.
1218
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,047
You turned down $300 million?
1219
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:26,650
Over naming rights?
1220
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:31,850
Yeah, I did.
1221
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:38,482
Because Kensana would become
a Newport Mine, right?
1222
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,887
And Mark fucking Hancock's
Midas touch continues.
1223
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:42,331
Me, Kenny Wells,
1224
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,164
the-the lucky bastard
who fell down drunk
1225
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,641
and woke up
in a pile of cash. No.
1226
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,087
It was my dream.
1227
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,329
I dreamed it.
1228
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,807
You sell your dream...
1229
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,122
what do you have left?
1230
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,483
(speaking local language)
1231
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:49,804
Good morning, Stacy.
How are you today?
1232
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,285
-Good.
-How's Ronnie? Good?
1233
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:52,970
-Thank you.
-Okay. Mm. -Kenny.
1234
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:54,206
Mike's on the line. Come on.
1235
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:55,890
-Mike, hang on. Kenny...
Kenny's here. -Come on!
1236
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,321
- It's Mike.
It's a fucking shit-storm. -Mm.
1237
01:08:58,440 --> 01:08:59,930
Mikey, what's up?
1238
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,087
They're locking us out.
1239
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:02,486
-They're what?
-They're locking us out!
1240
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:03,647
The military's here.
1241
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:04,886
They're taking over the mine.
1242
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,207
What happened at your meeting
with Hancock?
1243
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:08,885
What happened
at the meeting, Kenny?!
1244
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:12,686
Listen, Mike, they-they
were trying to push us out.
1245
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,768
Push us out? Wha-What
do you mean, push us out?
1246
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,008
They took... they took
our names off it, Mike.
1247
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,447
Mine and yours. They took
our fucking names off.
1248
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,005
Aw, you fucking moron!
1249
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,851
They can't... can't just revoke
the-the permit, all right?
1250
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:24,842
They can't just steal it away.
1251
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,081
Kenny, what?
What the fuck is going on?
1252
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,565
MIKE: Of course
they can revoke the permit!
1253
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,489
Suharto can do
whatever the fuck he wants!
1254
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,284
Hey! Hey!
1255
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,682
-Mike!
-Kenny, what's going on?
1256
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,529
-What the fuck is going on?
-Shh!
1257
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,205
(speaking local language)
1258
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,802
- Mike. Mike.
- MIKE: Kenny, we lost the site.
1259
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,206
I told you, man.
1260
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,448
You knew exactly
who we were dealing with.
1261
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,688
These people are killers.
1262
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:49,928
Hancock first among them.
1263
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,327
I told you, Kenny.
1264
01:09:52,440 --> 01:09:55,683
-Now it's gone.
-Uh...
1265
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,129
(takes deep breath)
1266
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,081
KENNY". So it turns out
that in addition
1267
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,282
to having, um,
longstanding ties
1268
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:10,845
with Suharto...
1269
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,566
Newport Holdings
actually had on its board
1270
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,570
a certain ex-president
of the United States.
1271
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,882
Who was also...
(chuckles softly)
1272
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,446
in one of Suhart0's weddings...
1273
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,045
as a groomsman.
1274
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,083
So you see, that whole time
they're telling me
1275
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:26,964
how rich my grandkids
are gonna be,
1276
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:28,411
they got a backup plan.
1277
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,807
They're gonna pick my pocket
and steal it all away.
1278
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,481
TV NEWSMAN: Washoe stock
was off nearly 50 points
1279
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,250
at the opening bell
this morning
1280
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,966
on news of the Suharto
government's revocation
1281
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,560
of Washoe's exploration rights.
1282
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,564
President and CEO,
Kenny Wells, has not...
1283
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,166
KENNY: All fucking con men.
They stole it's what they did.
1284
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:03,691
They goddamn stole it.
1285
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:08,006
Mm.
1286
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:11,805
(Kenny coughs)
1287
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,048
You're gonna need
to go home, Kenny.
1288
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,162
Just pour me
a goddamn drink, Roy.
1289
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,288
Go home, Kenny.
1290
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,285
(pounds bartop)
1291
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:28,481
KAY".
This is us.
1292
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:29,965
We can't get to the phone...
1293
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,125
(vehicles passing by)
1294
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:35,810
Wrong number.
1295
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,288
(phone ringing)
1296
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:45,246
KAY:
This is us.
1297
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,203
We can't get to the phone
right now.
1298
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:48,731
You know what to do.
1299
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:50,365
(beep)
1300
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,249
KENNY:
Hey, hey, Kay.
1301
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:54,771
It's me. Uh...
1302
01:11:56,440 --> 01:11:58,761
I-I-I-I guess you're not home,
1303
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,041
you know, right now.
1304
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,841
I was...
and I was just calling...
1305
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,884
Honey, I really...
I want to hear your voice.
1306
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,690
(Kenny exhales)
1307
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,125
I s... l-l screwed up, Kay.
1308
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,650
(sighs) I want...
I wanted to build something.
1309
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,446
Something real
that would last...
1310
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,245
last for you and me and...
1311
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,601
(exhales):
for Dad.
1312
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,286
(sighs)
1313
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,163
(crying):
That's all I wanted to do.
1314
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:40,810
(Kay sighs)
1315
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:42,888
But you were right, you know?
1316
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,889
-(soft, wry chuckle)
-You were right.
1317
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,685
Again.
1318
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,208
I love you, Kay.
1319
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,651
Mm, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna stop now.
1320
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,649
I'm-I'm not gonna call...
1321
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,167
I'm not gonna call you anymore.
1322
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,091
WOMAN:
Oh, my God, is that him?
1323
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,202
MAN:
Yeah, that's Acosta.
1324
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,971
WOMAN:
He looks different in person.
1325
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,651
Isn't he supposed to be
in Indonesia?
1326
01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:18,244
Where is he?
1327
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,721
-(soft snoring)
-(beeping over phone)
1328
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,771
MIKE:
Here you are.
1329
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:31,291
Get up!
1330
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,330
You don't own my fucking
company just 'cause you...
1331
01:13:34,440 --> 01:13:36,044
-Quit fucking kicking me.
-(Mike speaking Spanish)
1332
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:39,209
I didn't know who it was till
I heard the cocky fucking talk.
1333
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,084
-Ah? (grunts)
-Fucking moron.
1334
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,009
MIKE: Oh, yeah?
You're gonna fight?
1335
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:44,884
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
Yeah, you want to fight?
1336
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,411
Yeah, you want to fight now?
1337
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,170
After losing
my fucking company?
1338
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,442
You want to fight now?
Yeah, you want to fight?
1339
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,171
Yeah? Yeah?
(continues indistinctly)
1340
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,849
(groans)
1341
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:02,802
(Kenny sighs)
1342
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,400
(groans)
1343
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,921
You know what they say?
1344
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,287
That you're a drunk.
1345
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,528
A clown.
1346
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,881
Out of your league.
1347
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,531
Yeah, well, fuck them.
1348
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,085
Yeah, fuck them.
1349
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:23,565
You know what? Fuck you, too.
1350
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,967
You think I want to hear
from the fucking golden boy
1351
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:27,570
standing there
in his golden glow
1352
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,326
telling me how messed up
everything is? Huh?
1353
01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:32,090
No, go fucking back
to your perch
1354
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,123
at the Jakarta Palace, huh?
1355
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:35,969
Huh? You can use
that instinct of yours
1356
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,003
to find some new strike
with some new people.
1357
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,487
ls that what you think?
1358
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,047
I know you, man.
You're Mike fucking Acosta.
1359
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:45,605
(sighs)
1360
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,563
Prick.
1361
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:52,405
0K8)’-
1362
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,561
Let me tell you
what really happened.
1363
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,605
We're in North Sulawesi.
1364
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:04,087
Monsoon season.
1365
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,089
It's 1980.
1366
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:07,361
Yeah.
1367
01:15:07,480 --> 01:15:10,211
The famous copper strike.
1368
01:15:11,480 --> 01:15:13,687
Only we was looking
for bauxite.
1369
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:21,048
On my way to...
where I'm planning to drill,
1370
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,128
I get us stuck.
1371
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,121
Five feet of mud.
1372
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,011
We're just sitting in the rain
day after day,
1373
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,128
watching the metal rust.
1374
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:38,444
What'd you do?
1375
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,449
Under the theory
that it's better
1376
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:42,642
to do something
than nothing, I...
1377
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,684
reported... this was the spot.
1378
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,522
Nowhere became somewhere.
1379
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,288
The place you got stuck.
1380
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:01,768
I got lucky.
1381
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:06,691
(chuckles)
1382
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,041
I fucking love that.
1383
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:16,723
You went looking for bauxite,
and you found copper.
1384
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:22,489
I went looking for gold and...
1385
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,682
found a friend.
1386
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,809
That is
the single hokiest thing
1387
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,321
I've ever heard in my life.
1388
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,443
$0, you got a plan?
1389
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,329
Don't you?
1390
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:51,849
KENNY".
So, get this.
1391
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,248
Turns out Suharto had a son,
1392
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,488
his youngest, Darmadi,
1393
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,364
AKA Danny.
1394
01:16:59,480 --> 01:17:02,529
Bit of a screw-up,
real problem for the old man.
1395
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,883
Mm, safe to say
we understood each other.
1396
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,641
So, Suharto had been trying
to get Danny set up for years,
1397
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,326
all right, but everything
Danny touched turned to shit.
1398
01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:15,205
Now, {figure
if we can bring Danny on board
1399
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,322
as a partner,
maybe he could get Daddy
1400
01:17:17,440 --> 01:17:20,046
to change his mind
and swing things back our way.
1401
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,731
Now, it was a Hail Mary
from our own one-yard line,
1402
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,569
but it was all we had.
1403
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:26,125
But it also didn't hurt
1404
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,004
that Danny
had been regularly ignored
1405
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,646
by a certain ex-president
of the United States
1406
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,047

at his father's third wedding
1407
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,250
and also happened to sit on
the board at Newport Holdings.
1408
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,931
So, this guy goes
to a Cadillac dealership.
1409
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:41,570
Right? Dealer comes out
and he says, "Sir,
1410
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:43,125
are you thinking
about buying a Cadillac?"
1411
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,242

definitely buying a Cadillac.

1571
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,451
- And then it's not.
-(laughter)
1572
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,530
-Right? It's not.
-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.
1573
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,406
And he's standing
on the edge of the desert,
1574
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:49,010
staring a...
1575
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,329
new day's sunrise
right in the eye, and...
1576
01:28:52,440 --> 01:28:54,807
and he hears that little voice,
1577
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,327
a little voice that says...
1578
01:28:59,440 --> 01:29:01,568
"Go ahead.
1579
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,927
Keep walking."
1580
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:06,725
And the sun gets
higher and higher,
1581
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,842
and it's shining down on him,
and he's really hot,
1582
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:09,927
and he doesn't have
1583
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:11,280
any water to drink,
1584
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,880
and everybody that came
with him wants to turn back,
1585
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,729
and eventually,
they do turn back,
1586
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:17,729
and there he is.
1587
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,002
And he's all alone.
1588
01:29:30,440 --> 01:29:32,647
With the belief...
1589
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:40,160

MAN: The image on the left
is the type of gold
1635
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:20,605
found in the Washoe samples.
This is river gold.
1636
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:22,404
Notice how the edges
are rounded,
1637
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:24,966

by the erosion of water.
1638
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,128
What we should have found
is flake gold,
1639
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:28,765
the sample on the right,
1640
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:32,851
pulled directly from the rock,
rough-edged and angular.
1641
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,167
That's a pretty darn big detail
to overlook,
1642
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:36,850
(chuckles):
wouldn't you say?
1643
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,850
It's a big detail, but...
you have to understand,
1644
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:42,930
everything else about
the Washoe samples was right.
1645
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:45,122
But the gold was wrong.
1646
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:48,164
MAN: It's called salting--
it literally means when someone
1647
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,971
sprinkles gold dust
into a rock sample,
1648
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,845
like you... salt your steak.
1649
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:56,884
It is the oldest trick
in the book.

WOMAN:
Oldest trick in the book?
1651
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:00,808
And yet major
mining corporations,
1652
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:02,610
investment banks, the auditors,
1653
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:04,085
everyone was fooled.
1654
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:06,407
We weren't fooled.
1655
01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:08,409
We just didn't look.
1656
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:10,124
By all appearances,
1657
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:11,765
Washoe's security protocol
1658
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:13,245
were ironclad.
1659
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,328
But... when the person
1660
01:33:15,440 --> 01:33:18,046
administering the security
is fraudulent,
1661
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:20,845
the whole system goes down.
1662
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,249

Right. Did he say...
1663
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:30,448
wh-wh-where-where he was going?
1664
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:32,130

off the board.

your bill, sir. -I'll be down.
1743
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:03,525
We'll settle it up.
1744
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:05,927
("Gold" by Iggy Pop plays)
1745
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:08,643
(exhales)
1746
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:10,842
KENNY:
Do I need a lawyer?
1747
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,406
JENNINGS:
Do you need a lawyer?
1748
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:18,683
Right answer.
1749
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:24,285
(Kenny sniffs)
1750
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,688
How'd you meet Michael Acosta?
1751
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,243
The, uh, first time
or the second time?
1752
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,767
How'd you meet him, Wells?
1753
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:46,644
It was April... of '88.
1754
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:48,410
(sighs)
1755
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:50,727
Yeah, I was
on the balls of my ass.
1756
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,525
Scrambling. (chuckles)
1757
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,803
Not exactly uncharted waters
for me, but...
1758
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:59,287
I was in deep.
1759
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:05,562
(siren wailing in distance)
1760
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:09,010
JENNINGS:
I think it's pretty unlikely
1761
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:11,122
we'll ever see
your partner again.
1762
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:16,160
-What are you talking about?
-A lot of very powerful people
1763
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:18,203
are very angry
at Michael Acosta.
1764
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:23,690
Well, what happened?
1765
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:24,881
What happened?
1766
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,685
$17 billion of value
disappeared overnight.
1767
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:29,086
Mike Acosta
waves good-bye to you
1768
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:31,322
in the ballroom downstairs
and goes back to Indonesia
1769
01:40:31,440 --> 01:40:33,841
on a jet chartered
with Washoe funds.
1770
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,725
And then he does
a disappearing act.
1771
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:38,888
But this you know.
1772
01:40:39,040 --> 01:40:42,408
First, he's locked out
of the assay lab in Kalimantan
1773
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:44,921
by the minister
of the interior.
1774
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:46,849
-So he goes back to Jakarta...
-Mr. Acosta,
1775
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:48,371
please walk with with me.
1776
01:40:48,480 --> 01:40:50,369
JENNINGS: ...where he's
immediately detained
1777
01:40:50,480 --> 01:40:52,448
by the Indonesian military.
1778
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:55,445
And they hold him
1779
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:57,682
while they try to reproduce
for themselves
1780
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:00,121
the lab results claimed
by Washoe.
1781
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:04,604
Which, of course,
they are unable to do.
1782
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,371
Now, at this point,
1783
01:41:07,480 --> 01:41:10,484
either he's being transferred
to an actual prison, or...
1784
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:12,409
he's bribed
one of the officers.
1785
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:13,567
Either way,
1786
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:15,284
he's on a military helicopter.
1787
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:20,163
They fly north, loosely
tracking the Kensana River.
1788
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:11,810
A thousand feet up,
over the Kensana...
1789
01:42:11,920 --> 01:42:14,491
Mike Acosta takes a header.
1790
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,805
No way.
1791
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:30,605
No fucking way.
1792
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:32,529
He either faked it,
1793
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:34,802
or he paid to have
this-this bullshit story
1794
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:36,445
you're telling put out.
1795
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:40,804
$164 million goes a long way
in Indonesia.
1796
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:43,446
They found a body.
1797
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:57,164
(snorting)
1798
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:01,241
JENNINGS:
Hands and face were eaten away,
1799
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,284
probably by wild pigs.
1800
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:06,971
KENNY:
Sure this is him?
1801
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:09,401
I'm not sure of anything...
1802
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:14,208
except Mike Acosta traded
water filters for river gold.
1803
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:15,930
But now
the Indonesian government
1804
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:17,326
have gone unusually quiet
1805
01:43:17,440 --> 01:43:19,090
on the subject.
1806
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:20,844
There was an autopsy
1807
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,962
corroborating the identity
of the body.
1808
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:26,851
They then sealed the report...
1809
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,608
...cremated the remains.
1810
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:35,169
Interestingly,
Danny Suharto, your friend...
1811
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:38,170
dumped a lot of stock as well.
1812
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,124
So the Suhartos
are even richer now.
1813
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:44,562
Mike Acosta is ostensibly
dead and buried, and...
1814
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:47,001
$164 million is still missing.
1815
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:50,488
And the only question...
1816
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:52,807
I'm left with is...
1817
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:55,446
whether or not
you were in on it.
1818
01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,801
(softly):
I...
1819
01:43:59,920 --> 01:44:03,242
-I can't believe it.
-Can't believe what?
1820
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:06,921
No, look, th-this business...
1821
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:09,651
had written Mike off
years ago, all right?
1822
01:44:09,760 --> 01:44:11,171
They called his theories crap.
1823
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:13,203
But...
1824
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:15,163
there's no way.
1825
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,203
He wouldn't,
he fucking couldn't
1826
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:19,448
let this be
the last word on him.
1827
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:23,167
- No fucking way. -You talking
about Acosta or yourself?
1828
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:26,250
(deep, trembling breath)
1829
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:32,891
(Pants)
1830
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,527
All right, look. We-we-we were
running out of money, right?
1831
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:39,166
And I was practically dying
from malaria.
1832
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:41,971
I gave Mike
the last dollar to my name.
1833
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:44,765
And I made him promise me
something, I said, "Mike...
1834
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:48,327
don't let me die out here
for nothing."
1835
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,324
A few weeks later,
I came to, and...
1836
01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:58,408
Mike was there.
1837
01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:01,889
(chuckles)
1838
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:04,082
He said, "We got...
1839
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,362
"we got a strike, Kenny.
1840
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:10,007
We got a goddamn gold mine."
1841
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:19,447
And th-there's no way that
he set out to swindle anyone.
1842
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:22,211
He just needed
to buy a little more time.
1843
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:29,368
And he didn't want
to let me down.
1844
01:45:29,480 --> 01:45:33,326
-MAN: You're fuckin‘ lyin‘.
-Levine, sit down!
1845
01:45:33,440 --> 01:45:35,204
You want to talk
about the truth?
1846
01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:36,890
All right,
let's talk about the truth.
1847
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,162
The only truth here is,
when everybody's getting rich,
1848
01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:42,090
nobody gives a shit
about the truth.
1849
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:45,283
Come the fuck on.
All anyone had to do was look,
1850
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:47,129
open their eyes.
1851
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:50,323
Man, the-the gold was wrong,
the find was too good.
1852
01:45:50,440 --> 01:45:53,011
There were red flags
everywhere.
1853
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:54,770
Why did no one look?
1854
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:56,848
'Cause no one wanted
to fucking know.
1855
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:58,849
We all wanted to believe.
1856
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:00,883
Me, you,
fucking everybody. Why?
1857
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:05,648
Because we were all making
so much fucking money, man.
1858
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,001
That's the truth.
1859
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:10,845
That's been going on
for fucking centuries!
1860
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,683
(laughing):
Oh, fuck...
1861
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:21,291
Were you aware Mike Acosta
was salting
1862
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:23,801
-the Washoe core samples?
- No.
1863
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:25,365
You had no knowledge
1864
01:46:25,480 --> 01:46:28,324
Mike Acosta
was perpetrating a fraud?
1865
01:46:28,440 --> 01:46:30,807
-No.
-You were not in collusion
1866
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:33,810
with Mike Acosta
on the Kensana gold strike?
1867
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:37,845
No, man, I fucking thought
I won the lottery.
1868
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:41,362
Did you profit
from the Kensana fraud?
1869
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:46,126
-No. -Did anyone
close to you profit?
1870
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:50,411
My friends lost money.
1871
01:46:50,520 --> 01:46:52,409
My neighbors lost money.
1872
01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:54,568
Me...
1873
01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:57,251
I lost everything.
1874
01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:00,011
(Kenny takes swig)
1875
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:02,600
You know
what the truth of it is?
1876
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,202
I never really cared
about money.
1877
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:09,806
I cared about gold.
1878
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:12,127
And it's different, Jennings.
1879
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:14,288
It's fucking different.
1880
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:19,890
(glass clinks, liquid pours)
1881
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:21,729
(sets bottle down)
1882
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:31,842
(exhales)
1883
01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:36,688
Interview terminated
with Kenny Wells...
1884
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,724
6:45 a.m.,
1885
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:43,407
October 17, 1988.
1886
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:44,806
Interview conducted by myself,
1887
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,127
Paul K. Jennings,
special agent.
1888
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:50,403
Also present,
agents Levine and Banks,
1889

Federal Bureau
of Investigation,
1890
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:54,329
district of Nevada, Reno.
1891
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:08,728
Mr. Kenny Wells...
1892
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:11,525
(bell tolling in distance)
1893
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:13,927
...you are free to go.
1894
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:18,490
(whispers):
Well, lookee there.
1895
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:20,841
Somebody believes me.
1896
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:24,961
I wouldn't go overboard.
1897
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:28,562
In fact,
I wouldn't leave the state,
1898
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:31,326
or start buying new stuff
or chartering
1899
01:48:31,440 --> 01:48:32,930
-any more jets.
-I gotta sneak by the guy
1900
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:34,804
at the front desk 'cause
I can't pay the hotel bill.
1901
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:37,810
I can't be a party
to that information.
1902
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,167
BANKS:
Good luck, Mr. Wells.
1903
01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:44,250
LEVINE:
We'll be keeping an eye on you.
1904
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:47,524
(door opens)
1905
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,081
What are you gonna do now,
Wells?
1906
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,924
(birds chirping)
1907
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:16,961
(vehicles rumbling by
in distance)
1908
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:23,045

1909
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,601

(bird squawking)
1912
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:14,845
Hey, Kenny.
1913
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:16,450
L-I'm still worried
about that mulberry
1914
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:18,961
-over the back fence.
-Yeah. I know, Hart.
1915
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:20,804
It's good to see you.
1916
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:22,809
Good to see you, too, Kenny.
1917
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:36,008
(rings doorbell)
1918
01:50:53,480 --> 01:50:55,562
Can I come in?
1919
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:08,168
(door squeaks)
1920
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:34,046
-You want coffee?
-Yeah, sure.
1921
01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:42,207
This place looks great.
1922
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:48,007
So do you, Kay.
1923
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:54,330
I made curtains.
1924
01:51:54,440 --> 01:51:57,046
-(coffee pouring)
-From that fabric.
1925
01:51:57,160 --> 01:51:58,491
Hmm.
1926
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,326
Some stuff came for you,
some mail.
1927
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:19,690
(faucet running)
1928
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:54,811
KAY:
What?
1929
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,526
What is it?
1930
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:05,721
("Gold" by Iggy Pop plays)
1931
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:18,808
