1
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,367
KENNY:
We were a real business.
2
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,921
That's what
you got to understand.
3
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,402
We were goddamn industry...
4
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,684
the kind that's the backbone
of this country.
5
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,529
(indistinct chatter)
6
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,766
Don't take my word for it.
7
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,456
Go in the parking lot
and look on the license
8
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,801
of that brand-new
Mercedes 450 of yours.
9
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,566
Hey. Are you seeing this?
10
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,011
KENNY:
That's Furnace Creek.
11
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,640
This, uh, picture's
over 100 years old.
12
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,966
KAY:
Hmm.
13
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,936
KENNY: And you see this
handsome devil right here?
14
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,564
KAY:
Uh-huh.
15
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,245
KENNY:
He's a Wells.
16
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,160
Okay, so, um, I know
you're a mining company,
17
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,090
- Mm-hmm.
- But I pictured...
18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,880
Well, I don't know
what I pictured exactly.
19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,604
I guess little... little carts
20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,848
going down little...
little train tracks.
21
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,769
- Right. -I mean, what is it
that you do here?
22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,723
Wh-what we do
is we look for the metals
23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,046
and the minerals, all right?
24
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,924
There's exploration over there,
25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,283
there's engineering
and there's production, right?
26
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,767
We're prospectors.
27
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,530
Not yet'?
28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,051
- Okay, how about this?
- Yeah...
29
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,687
Um... so let's say that this...
30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,080
is the Earth.
31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,200
My handbag?
32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,924
Your handbag is Mother Earth
33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,610
with all of her
deep-filled mysteries
34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,936
and goodies on the inside that
she does not want to give up.
35
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,689
Me, I'm man,
36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,882
and I'm damn curious about
what she's got inside.
37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,049
So, I send down what's
called an exploratory drill.
38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,050
I go down inside and dig around,
39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,730
come across something.
40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,207
I pull it out. It's nickel.
41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,762
Now, nickel's actually
75% copper and 25% nickel,
42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,176
but there's a whole lot
of nickel in the world,
43
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,646
and the world needs nickels.
44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,842
I'm back down there getting
my second core sample,
45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,281
and I happen to pull up, say...
46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,890
silver.
47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,696
Now, the thing is, when you
find a little bit of this,
48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,416
that means there could be
a whole hell of a lot of it.
49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,965
So we start raising money.
50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,481
We raise enough money
to open a mine
51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,284
like the one in that picture
right here.
52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,563
Then...
53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,768
we dig it all up.
54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,169
Now, sometimes...
Not that often, but sometimes...
55
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,284
The prospecting gods are having
a party at the Pearly Gates,
56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,330
and we get real, real,
really lucky.
57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,164
And we dig down in there,
58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,164
then we find
a little metal called...
59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,322
gold.
60
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,886
(gasps)
61
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,368
- Yes.
- Kenny.
62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,925
You like it?
63
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,764
I love you.
64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,170
I love you.
65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,169
- (taps on glass)
- Old man wants to see you.
66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,364
Afternoon, Marianne.
67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,336
Hey, Pop. (knocks on door)
Heard you want to see me.
68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,566
Yeah, Kenny.
69
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,121
Get your ass in here, would you?
70
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,605
Would you, uh, run through this
71
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,609
Pershing County strategy
again for me?
72
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,882
Right, um...
73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,367
It's about this southern part
of this Newmont property,
74
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,766
right here.
75
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,201
Now, Newmont just started
drilling 140 meters
76
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,096
and they're finding
a whole lot of magnesite.
77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,885
If you remember, we still own
the option on Relief Canyon,
78
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,048
which is next door.
We're not finding squat, why?
79
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,770
We're not drilling deep enough.
80
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,609
Let's get back in there.
Drill deeper.
81
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,724
Go to 140 if we need to,
and we got a damn good chance
82
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,683
of getting Relief
back in production.
83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,689
What about Jerritt Canyon?
84
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,643
(inhales deeply)
Well, that's your baby.
85
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,041
You know a hell of a lot
more about it than I do.
86
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,764
But the assays look promising.
87
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,484
Could be fucking huge.
88
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,369
I want you to run point on this.
89
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,682
- (taps table)
- All in.
90
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,882
Scale it up.
91
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,843
Make it yours.
92
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Yes, sir.
93
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,047
Clive Coleman's on board.
94
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,725
Those boys will ride with you.
95
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,085
(exhales)
96
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,441
God, we work hard
in this business.
97
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,403
Sometimes for nothing.
98
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,567
I wake up every morning.
I tell myself,
99
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,411
"I don't have to do this.
100
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,363
I get to do this."
101
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,401
And then it's just blue skies.
102
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,045
Blue skies, baby.
103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,241
KENNY:
My old man...
104
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,328
a legend.
105
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,242
That was the last time
I saw him alive.
106
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,802
[♪♪]
107
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,287
(low, indistinct conversations)
108
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,250
MAN:
A little eye-opener, Kenny?
109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,601
KENNY:
God bless you, Roy.
110
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,644
(softly):
Here we are.
111
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,127
- Boys, to the mother lode.
- ALL: Mother lode.
112
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,242
Today be the day.
113
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,328
KENNY:
The geological reports on this
114
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,487
are highly encouraging.
115
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,080
We are taking a very
aggressive approach.
116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,200
Prospectus?
Of course.
117
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,056
I can have my secretary
send you one right out.
118
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,242
KENNY: But I got to tell you,
this offering,
119
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,044
it's already over-subscribed.
120
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,096
You know, we can always try
and get you in on the next one.
121
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,726
No, no.
Yea, I understand.
122
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,086
Shit.
123
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,965
Watching the time?
It's 11:15, Kenny.
124
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,447
Oh, Christ.
125
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,249
Where would I be without you?
126
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,566
[♪♪]
127
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,608
MAN:
Mr. Wells?
128
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,449
- Yes.
- Lloyd Stanton.
129
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,244
- Hello, Lloyd. Kenny Wells.
- Hi.
130
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,816
LLOYD: This is my colleague,
Henry Andrews.
131
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,960
- Pleased to meet you.
- Hey.
132
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,241
- Come on back.
- Absolutely.
133
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,727
KENNY:
Thank you. (clears throat)
134
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,970
LLOYD:
So, what can we do for ya?
135
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,969
Well, why don't we wait
for Clive?
136
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,321
Oh, uh, Mr. Coleman
got tied up in a meeting.
137
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,845
No offense, boys,
138
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,088
but I'm supposed to be meeting
with Clive.
139
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,009
None taken, but if you were
supposed to be
140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,202
meeting with Clive, you
would be meeting with Clive.
141
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,129
All right.
Here is what we have.
142
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,244
We are developing some
very exciting properties
143
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,125
that are spot-on
for your investor profile.
144
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,962
Low buy-in
with a sizable upside.
145
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,496
- Mm-hmm.
- And the beautiful part is
146
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,241
they are all only 12 to 18
months and cash positive.
147
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,566
- Manitoba?
- Yeah.
148
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,485
We picked up an option
on a skip claim at an auction.
149
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,165
Right, but it's
a 90-day option.
150
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,611
Yes, the window is narrow,
151
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,096
but if you have a look
at the Jerritt,
152
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,496
you'll see a very promising
shale formation
153
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,841
that hasn't been tapped yet.
154
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,802
LLOYD: Mr. Wells,
Washoe has a practical value
155
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,126
hovering just above zero.
156
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,044
Your debt load is untenable,
157
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,965
and you bring us, uh, raw land
with no infrastructure,
158
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,361
no fungible assets.
(laughs): I mean,
159
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,176
you can't possibly expect us
to underwrite this.
160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,441
Yeah. I'm talking about
a small offering here.
161
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,160
As I said in the beginning,
a low buy-in.
162
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,362
Now, if you'll take
a second look at the Jerritt,
163
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,528
you will see what I see.
164
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,041
And that's money.
165
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,049
Not our money.
166
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,730
(exhales heavily)
167
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,207
(groaning)
168
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,805
KENNY:
See, the... the thing is
169
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,167
that the whole economy
had turned,
170
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,601
particularly for commodities.
171
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,924
Close of the day,
172
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,407
Washoe was trading
at four cents a share
173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,682
if it was trading at all.
174
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,928
Washoe Mining. There's this
great little land lease.
175
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,408
'Cause this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity.
176
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,403
Right. Washoe. Washoe Mining.
177
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,006
You know, carrying the...
carrying on the business.
178
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,566
You know, there's still
minerals out there.
179
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:11,936
We just got to find them, right?
180
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,016
Yeah, all right, all right.
181
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,296
Thank... thank you
for your time. Bye.
182
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,890
(phone beeps)
183
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,606
I could...
184
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,245
12 to 18 months...
185
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,283
cash positive.
186
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,801
A deal...
187
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,046
Goddamn, I am calling you.
188
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,650
Fuck whatever time it is.
189
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,690
Washoe Mining,
190
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,604
the company that my grandfather
191
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,969
literally scratched out of
the side of a Nevada mountain,
192
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,165
the company that my father
made into a real player,
193
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,329
was almost gone.
194
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,807
Almost.
195
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,168
I'd already, uh, lost my house,
196
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,403
and I was, uh...
I was living with Kay.
197
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,047
And, uh, we-we were about
to lose that, too.
198
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,201
(exhales)
199
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,690
I had a half gallon
of Seagram's in me.
200
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,446
Shit, most people would have
been dead, but not me. No.
201
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:20,324
(chuckles)
202
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,329
Instead...
203
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,966
I had a dream.
204
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,450
I mean, I mean,
I mean, literally, I...
205
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:34,404
I had a dream.
206
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,170
(birds calling, animals hooting)
207
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,641
[♪♪]
208
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,207
Indonesia.
209
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,129
Gold.
210
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,607
Now, I'd been to Indonesia
five or six years earlier.
211
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,563
I still had a little money
in my pocket.
212
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,330
You know, Indonesia was booming,
213
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,807
and I was looking
for a way to get in.
214
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,884
Back then, if you wanted
215
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,576
to put a hole in the ground
in Indonesia,
216
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,729
you wanted Mike Acosta
telling you where to dig.
217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,207
He's what they called
a River Walker.
218
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,004
Yeah, a real hands-on
geologist.
219
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,120
The real deal.
220
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,929
(Mike speaking Spanish)
221
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,326
KENNY:
Oxford College, MIT.
222
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,726
His mom was Venezuelan.
223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,081
His dad was English.
224
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,480
Now, you see,
he'd just discovered
225
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,166
the largest copper strike
in Southeast Asia,
226
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,524
and everybody wanted
a piece of him, including me.
227
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,325
MIKE: You got the Nazca Plate,
the Pacific Plate.
228
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,727
Juan de Fuca,
North American, South American.
229
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,609
Aleutian, Marianas, Tonga.
230
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,491
The plates rubbing
and grinding up on each other.
231
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,284
Six trillion kilobytes
of pressure.
232
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,166
10,000 degrees Celsius
kicking up geothermic hot spots
233
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,169
all along the Pacific rim.
234
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,410
KENNY: He called it the, uh,
the Ring of Fire theory.
235
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,522
And he definitely had
everyone's attention.
236
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,166
That's how I found the copper.
237
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,608
And that's why
I'll find the gold.
238
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,411
(Kay groaning)
239
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,010
You're up early.
240
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,770
Hey.-
241
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,570
You want to talk
about yesterday.
242
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,849
No. I gotta go right now, babe.
I've gotta plan. Gotta plan.
243
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,201
- Oh, wait, Kenny, Kenny, listen.
- Hmm?
244
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,209
Carl had an idea.
245
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,607
- American Home Carl?
- Uh-huh.
246
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,291
He said he could, uh,
get you on for a while,
247
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,136
- if you wanted.
- Right, right, right, right.
248
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,925
Yeah, I don't think that's
going to be necessary, babe.
249
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,690
Yeah, but it'd just be temporary
250
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,404
till the market turns.
251
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,649
We could fool around
in the warehouse.
252
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,125
You know, I tell you...
253
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,480
(moaning)
254
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,216
When I get done with this trip,
all right?
255
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,520
Shouldn't take more than a week.
256
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,000
- All right.
- What? Where you going?
257
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,401
- If it doesn't work out,
I'll give Carl a call. -Baby...
258
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,216
- I'll call you from the airport.
- Wait. Wait, wait.
259
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,571
Kenny!
260
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:05,082
KENNY: It was like
I was being called, you know?
261
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,241
It was the gold calling.
262
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,124
That may sound crazy to you,
263
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,163
but if you...
if you knew that feeling,
264
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,408
- well, you'd know.
- (engine roaring)
265
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,130
("Ron Klaus Wrecked His House"
by Big Dipper plays)
266
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,401
(horns honking)
267
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,209
KENNY: Kenny Wells.
I'm down here in the, uh,
268
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,760
the lobby of the, uh,
Jakarta Palace.
269
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,444
Uh... Yeah, listen,
270
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,090
we must've got
the times mixed up.
271
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,123
Um... Let me know.
I'm down here.
272
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,369
I'm in the brown suit,
I'm on the green couch.
273
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,720
I'm the good-looking guy, okay?
274
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,256
All right.
We'll make it happen, Fuca.
275
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,486
All right.
276
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,600
MIKE:
Wells?
277
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,529
Mike.
278
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,881
Good to see you again.
279
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,249
I know a local place,
a bit more color.
280
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,488
What, they're not pouring here?
281
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,802
- Good.
- (snaps fingers)
282
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,810
- (plays gentle melody)
- So,
283
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,526
what are we talking about
here, Wells?
284
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,010
Ring of Fire, Mike.
285
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,610
Ring of Fire.
286
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,690
You're playing my greatest hits.
287
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,041
Fire's gone out of that one.
288
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,924
Well, what are you
talking about?
289
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,886
It's the opinion of my
fellow esteemed geologists,
290
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,446
that the whole thing...
I'm quoting here...
291
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,608
Is a crock of shit.
292
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,768
Well, what the hell, you know?
293
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,644
You called it wrong.
294
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,729
What are you going to do?
295
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,525
There's no right or wrong
in this business.
296
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,927
There's only hits and misses.
297
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,646
There's gold here.
298
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,366
I'm glad you said that, Mike.
299
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,807
I truly am, 'cause I...
300
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,010
believe you.
301
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,407
I hate to dash your hopes,
but don't you think
302
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,576
others have come along
before you with the same thought
303
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,525
and, from the looks of it,
deeper pockets?
304
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,325
Ring of Fire is real, Mike.
305
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,805
I knew it
the first time I heard.
306
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,604
It struck me like
a fucking lightning bolt,
307
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,324
and I never forgot it.
308
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,488
Go ahead, laugh.
I get that all the time.
309
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,080
But hear this.
310
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,407
I don't just believe.
311
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:48,965
I know.
312
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,162
- No, you don't.
- I've seen it.
313
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,409
You don't understand.
314
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,729
- No one will back me.
- I will.
315
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,968
You tell me where
you want to dig, Mikey,
316
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,970
and I'll make goddamn sure
the bills are paid.
317
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,844
No offense, Wells, but...
318
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,691
you look like you had to rob
someone just to get here, man.
319
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,644
You know nothing about me.
320
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,967
You know it's still out there.
321
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,282
I know that.
322
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,290
I can see it in your eyes.
You still believe.
323
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,482
I get it, and I was born on
the side of the mountain, too.
324
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,216
My-my father scratched
everything he ever owned
325
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,605
out of a fucking rock.
All right?
326
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,976
Died with dirt
under his fingernails,
327
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,684
and I intend to do the same.
328
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,569
This business...
329
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,324
wrote me off years ago.
330
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,736
All right, maybe you're
not running the hottest
331
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,976
in your career right now either,
332
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,206
so let's prove them wrong.
333
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,481
You and me.
334
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:41,856
Let's prove them all
fucking wrong.
335
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,166
And you know why?
336
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,681
You do know why,
because the Ring of Fire
337
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,963
is right, Mike.
You called it.
338
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,811
You just haven't found it yet.
339
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,047
Tell me I'm crazy.
340
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,567
I'll be on the next plane.
341
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,608
You're crazy.
342
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,810
You have a hat, Wells?
343
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,361
Yeah, I got a hat.
344
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,931
Why, we going somewhere?
345
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,691
MIKE:
Up river.
346
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,201
KENNY:
What river is that, Mike?
347
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:32,010
You're late.
348
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:33,929
MIKE:
The only one that matters.
349
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,327
[♪♪]
350
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,889
MIKE: The Dayak have been
panning this river
351
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,480
for over 5,000 years.
352
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,041
That's how it got its name,

Daya Kensana.

00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,804
"Daya" means "upstream."

we're some traders

foothills far to the south.

But what interests me
is the other way.
389

That small depression,

walking away.

Something happened there, Wells.

Something hot and angry.

It isn't just a lease.

We're in Indonesia.

00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,684
That means getting a permit

You don't just do this

00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,444
you know, when it all works out.
533
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,684
(mutters)
534
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,121
Give them a piece of the pie,
you know?
535
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,321
Get up.
536
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,681
Come on, get up.
537
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,730
I'm freezing, Mike.
538
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,410
(Kenny breathing heavily)
539
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,721
Don't let me die
and have nothing, okay?
540
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,130
Get some rest now.
541
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,048
(Kenny coughing)
542
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,802

(birds calling, animals hooting)
545
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,604
I'm pulling the plug.
546
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,329
No.
547
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,290
No, no, no, no, no.
548
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,283
Don't pull the plug, Mike.
549
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,087
No, no.
You can't do that, Mikey.
550
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,204
Let's get you
out of here, Wells.
551
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,084
What's the plan, Mikey?
552
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,004
Hmm?
553
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,767
Now, I know you got
a plan, Mike, hmm?
554
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,281
I know you got a plan.
555
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,244
What's the plan, hmm?
556
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,480
What's the plan?
557
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,206
They need clean water.
558
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,731
If we get filter systems
up here,
559
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,968
I think they might come back.
560
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,481
(laughing)
561
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,800
I got about $1,800
on this Visa right there.
562
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,924
Close to 500
on this Diner's Club.
563
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,527
Use it all, hmm?
564
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,961
Use it all, Mikey.
565
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,526
(laughs, coughing)
566
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,411

Damned if he didn't go
569
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,605
to every single place
570
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,087
that every one
of our workers lived.
571
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,407
Streams that had no name.
572
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,444
All feeding
the great Kensana River.
573
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,161
Whoa!
574
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,725

00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,846
KENNY:
But you know what?
578
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,644
The workers came back.
579
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,689
I spent the next few weeks
in a malarial haze.
580
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,882
Should've been dead.
581
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,408
But Mike kept it all going.
582
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,040

What day is it?
587
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,410
MIKE:
No idea.
588
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,528
- Month?
- August.
589
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,484
You been sitting there
this whole time?
590
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,608
Let's not get carried away.
591
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,684
What'd the report say?
What's the news?
592
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,769
We pulled 17 more cores.
593
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,648
What?
594
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,491
- No good?
- No good.
595
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,965
Mm.
596
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,649
More in the vicinity of great.
597

Fuck you, Mike.
Don't mess with me, man.
598
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,446
Eighth of an ounce per ton.

Eighth... eighth of
an ounce per what?
600
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,042
Eighth of an ounce per ton.
601
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,762
What... what are you...
what are you saying, Mike?
602
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,247
We got a strike in.
603
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:27,965
We got a gold mine?
604
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,406

605
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,727

That moment...

there's no way I could possibly
describe the feeling.
623
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,569
It's amazing
how a little gold dust
624
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,842
can just change everything.
625
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,482
Now, for better or worse,
the ride had begun,
626
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,568
and what a goddamn ride.

You're a stand-up guy, Kenny.

Almost, baby. Almost.
We're almost there.

Millions, Walt.
Absolutely millions.

00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,606
No. Hard rock.
This is varsity ball.

to the readers

- Kenny, it's good to see you.
- Good morning, Beverly.

You know, your father and I,

we started together
in this business.

he put me in the business.

I don't have to tell you that.
697
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,688
He always spoke very highly
of you, Clive.
698
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,643
He's one of the best men
I ever knew.
699
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:40,926
- Yeah.
- Now!
700
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,128
You have gone
from four to 23 cents
701
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,368
on your first assay results.
702
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,450
And you pulled in two more
to confirm those findings?
703
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,449
Three more.

- Mm-hmm.
705
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,080
Well, that's fantastic.
706
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,124
Well, I would like to underwrite
707
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:59,449
a private placement
of Washoe stock.
708
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,090
And I believe that we can raise
709
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,328
anywhere between
$8 million and $10 million.
710
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,720
Well, capital is definitely
711
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,569
at the top of our agenda
right now.
712
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,091
Well, yes, it is.
713
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,806
And a lot of people are going
to want to make this deal,
714
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,285
but history is on our side.
715
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,686
Mm-hmm.
716
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,416
But I just wish you'd
brought this to me sooner.
717
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,011
- I could have helped you
from the get-go. -Hey.
718
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,727
- Well, here we are.
- Here we are.
719
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,251
Lloyd...
720
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,601
top that off for me, will you?
721
00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:29,930
Straight black
with a spicer chaser.
722
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,930
(exhales)
723
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,202
(Kenny speaks indistinctly)
724
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,328
Mr. Wells, uh, coffee.
725
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,771
There we are, Lloyd.
Thank you.
726
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,008
Stanton, Mr. Wells has agreed
727
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,841
to give us his business
on one condition.
728
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,201
Lloyd, I want you
729
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,402
to personally handle my account.
730
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,170
- (sighs heavily)
- I-I need you to be
731
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,805
available to me 24/7,
732
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,329
365, as you will be riding
shotgun in my jockstrap.
733
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,171
Absolutely. Yes. Thank you.
734
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,536
Well, let's quit
standing around here
735
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,005
and go make
some goddamn money, huh?
736
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,326
That sounds good to me.
737
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,886
[♪♪]
738
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,684
MIKE:
Kenny? Kenny?
739
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,609
Kenny, did you read
the last report?
740
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,365
Kenny, did you read
the last report?
741
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,811
KENNY:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
742
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,764
No, I'm looking at them
right now. Holy shit!
743
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,486
Holy shit is right, my friend.
744
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,251
(both laughing)
745
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:45,370
KENNY:
No, it's unbelievable.
746
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,886
Holy shit.
747
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,929
Bobby, I can hear your wife
748
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,280
smiling from here.
749
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,890
Right back where you belong,
Kenny.
750
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,401
Yeah, there's a lot of ghosts
in this building, boys.
751
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,761
- (elevator bell dings)
- Oh, nice work, Todd!
752
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,803
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
753
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,446
[♪♪]
754
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,487
[♪♪]
755
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:24,851
KENNY:
All right, men.
756
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,122
Now, this stock is going
to start cooking.
757
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:28,810
Make sure you put
a little bit away.
758
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,491
Sell some. Just the long way.
Just in case.
759
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,886
- Especially you.
- What?
760
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,200
- Put a little bit away.
- I...
761
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:35,416
For the first time in your life,
762
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,965
think rainy day, Bobby, okay?
763
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,411
- Of-of course. Of course.
- Hey.
764
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,931
- What?
- Okay?
765
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,327
Okay.
Okay.
766
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,249
[♪♪]
767
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,370
Oh, we're going to be
so fucking rich.
768
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,729
[♪♪]
769
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,250
At least look like
you're working, man.
770
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,524
- (knocking on door)
- MAN: Yeah?
771
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,490
What do you got?
772
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,404
Wildcatters, basically.
773
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,006
This Mike Acosta
has had some success. Copper.
774
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,407
Got taken over by Freeport Mac.
775
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,364
- It's all in there.
- Yeah. I've heard of Acosta.
776
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,967
- I like this.
- LLOYD: but I think We start
777
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,367
with the good news,
which is that we are, uh,
778
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,927
50% allocated and, uh,
we want to set aside, uh,
779
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,844
30 of the remaining 50
for you boys...
780
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,247
There's more food here.
Don't drink through lunch.
781
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:53,560
- All right?
- (other laughing)
782
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,608
Or just eat something as well.
(laughs)
783
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:57,449
- (phone ringing)
- Hey, Kay! -Phone!
784
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,689
- What?
- Phone, please.
785
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,800
- That one. Thank you.
- You want me to answer it?
786
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,684
Hello.
787
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,485
Uh, Washoe Mining.
How may I direct your call?
788
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,961
- Hi. Uh, Kenneth Wells, please.
- Please hold.
789
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,048
Kenny, you got a call!
790
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,404
- Thank you, dear.
- Love you, baby.
791
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:19,407
All right.
792
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,646
Kenny Wells.
793
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,481
This is Brian Woolf at
Brown, Thomas in New York.
794
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,648
I'm with the minerals
and oil group.
795
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,205
No shit.
796
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,410
(Snapping fingers)
797
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,000
Uh-huh.
798
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,570
Uh-huh.
799
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,525
Well, that sounds
outstanding, Brian.
800
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,085
And let me tell you something.
801
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,804
I'm looking forward to it.
802
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:44,971
All right.
803
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,881
- [♪♪]
- They're fucking flying me out.
804
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,416
- They're fucking flying me out.
- (laughter)
805
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,282
(Kay squeals)
806
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,930
Come on!
807
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,805
[♪♪]
808
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,843
KENNY:
Yeah, the way I see it,
809
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,567
what banks do... who knows?
810
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,968
But what made this country
is not tight asses in suits...
811
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:13,576
No offense...
Taking the easy way down,
812
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,648
but guys like me and Mike
who jump.
813
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,125
What we have
814
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:19,527
is a private placement
in play here.
815
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,484
Already over 50% subscribed.
816
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,648
Now, if the numbers
keep coming in good,
817
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,485
which...
they're fucking going to,
818
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,171
the sky is the limit
on this thing.
819
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,776
You don't have to sell us.
We've done the math.
820
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,006
We believe you're sitting on
821
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,804
the largest gold find
of the decade.
822
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,287
May I speak plainly,
Mr. Wells?
823
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,761
Of course, Brian.
That's the only way to speak.
824
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,167
Our clients are going to want
to see a serious plan
825
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,642
to turn lab results
in a volatile region
826
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,206
into an investment we can all
stake our reputations on.
827
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:50,207
It's not going to be a problem.
828
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,560
No, it's not a problem, per se,
829
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,120
but the fact remains
that neither of you have taken
830
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:55,960
a find of this magnitude
through production.
831
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,168
KENNY (chuckles):
Wait just a minute there, Brian.
832
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,806
We-we found it,
we can dig it up.
833
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,376
- It's not that complicated.
- Actually,
834
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,376
historically, we found
it could be quite complicated,
835
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,129
and we'd like the opportunity
836
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:09,289
to help you formulate how you
present the operation side.
837
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,804
Wh-what-what exactly
does that mean?
838
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,445
I'd like you both to consider
839
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,090
bringing on a strategic partner.
840
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,680
Oh.
841
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,847
(glass clanks)
842
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,564
All right.
(clears throat)
843
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,411
Have any of you ever
844
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,727
set one of your...
your handmade loafers
845
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,923
down in the hole
in the side of a mountain?
846
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,769
- No.
- No. We have.
847
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,325
Washoe has history.
848
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,727
We've done a fairly thorough
analysis of Washoe,
849
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,844
Mr. Wells, and we feel
like you need strategic help.
850
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,129
No. No way. No.
This is a new day, all right?
851
00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:45,402
And Indonesia
is goddamn different.
852
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,727
We can help you get off
the side of that mountain.
853
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:48,927
I don't need any help
854
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,042
getting off the side
of the goddamn mountain.
855
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,844
I can land this plane.
856
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,041
I can't
857
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,766
Wells came and found me.
858
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,644
I was at a low point,
I have to admit.
859
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,401
It happens in this business,
ups and downs.
860
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,649
But he backed me
with his last cent,
861
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,047
and more than that,
he risked his life,
862
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,889
almost lost it, actually.
863
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,731
It was touch and go there
for a bit.
864
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,650
And now we have the bull
by its horns.
865
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,967
KENNY: And, boys,
they're big fucking horns.
866
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,531
MIKE:
I've worked with the best,
867
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,008
and I can tell you Kenny Wells
is up there with them.
868
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,124
BRIAN: We're not by any stretch
of the imagination
869
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:29,527
suggesting at this moment
that anybody take a backseat.
870
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,927
- Just be open to strategic alliances.
- No fucking...
871
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,246
way!
872
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,967
(muffled shouting)
873
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,760
It's a dime out of every one
of my dollars,
874
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,687
not your dollars!
875
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,165
I said no a second ago.
876
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,691
You want to invest?
We got the gold.
877
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,216
- We can talk about it.
- (Mike sighs)
878
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:45,969
Don't need a fucking partner.
I know that.
879
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,447
You know,
there's something about...
880
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,961
finding gold...
881
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,401
that is so difficult
to put into words.
882
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,730
It's real difficult.
883
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,126
Taste of it on your tongue.
884
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:04,720
The feel of it
between your fingers,
885
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,081
it's... it's electric.
886
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,327
It's like a drug,
887
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,761
'cause it hooks you.
888
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,043
And it's precisely what you're
missing here in the city.
889
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,480
It's what makes it so hard for
us to have this conversation
890
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,126
because you have never felt it.
891
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,809
So I have a proposal for you.
892
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,843
Put together
your institutional players,
893
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,328
the guys who rep the big money.
894
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,489
Whoever needs to kick
the tires on this thing.
895
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,809
I will take them
on a little trip up the river.
896
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,644
So... it was Acosta
897
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,127
who proposed
the-the junket in Kensana?
898
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:48,811
Or did you cook that up
together?
899
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,486
KENNY: Oh, Jennings, you're...
you're not getting it.
900
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,446
Look, we-we didn't feel like
we had to cook up anything.
901
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,847
I mean, I had people
coming at me from all sides.
902
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,769
My-my neighbor, Hart Hubbard,
903
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,769
he's a lawn care professional.
904
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,008
Usually only worried about
Kay's mulberry tree
905
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,531
leaning over
the back of his fence,
906
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,881
but now
he's dropping mining terms.
907
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,810
"Hey, Kenny, how's the grade
purity over there at Kensana?
908
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,605
I hear it's great.
How about the core frequency?"
909
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:16,166
Hart fucking Hubbard.
He mows grass for a living.
910
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,656
- We interviewed Mr. Hubbard.
- What I'm saying is we didn't
911
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,080
think we needed
to cook up anything.
912
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,326
Everybody wanted in.
913
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,284
So it was Acosta who proposed
the banker junket?
914
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,530
Yes.
915
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,729
It was a genius move.
916
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,320
KENNY:
Now, you get outside,
917
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,523
stick close to me
and hang on to your wallets.
918
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,444
(horns honking)
919
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,807
(speaks indistinctly)
920
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,843
Come on, come on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
921
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,656
Back, back, back, back, back,
back, back, back, back.
922
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,409
There he is.
923
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,763
Gentlemen, Mike Acosta.
924
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,370
Glen.
925
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,811
Acosta.
926
00:50:58,920 --> 00:50:59,921
- Bobby.
- Acosta.
927
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,371
Jeff Jackson.
928
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,608
If any one of you
wants to turn back,
929
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:05,085
this is your chance.
930
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,486
What's that?
931
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,329
(laughing)
932
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,522
He's just messing with you.
Welcome to Indo, boys.
933
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,000
MIKE:
When we got the hit,
934
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,122
we stepped out
in a radiating pattern
935
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:19,244
and we kept going until
we had the definitive picture.
936
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,886
We're mapping
the underlying geology.
937
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,561
The cores are cut into
sections, and then crushed.
938
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:26,886
(metallic clang)
939
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,685
They are then bagged and sealed.
940
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,691
This cage is guarded 24/7.
941
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,849
Under guard, the samples
are sent down river
942
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,327
to independent labs
in Kalimantan.
943
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,568
If a seal is broken
or damaged in any way,
944
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,763
the lab, by law, has to discard
the entire sample.
945
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,723
Every safeguard
has been put in place
946
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,808
to assure the security
of the process.
947
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,686
Diamond-tipped saw blades,
rock crushers.
948
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,280
Core samples being ripped
from the guts of the Earth.
949
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,289
It all sounds great, but...
950
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,681
you boys want to see some gold.
951
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,566
No one's going to believe
this shit.
952
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,284
So, what do you think?
953
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,964
Not sure. What about you?
954
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,696
Acosta seems to know
what he's talking about,
955
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:18,688
but, uh, I don't know.
956
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,801
Hey. Hey.
957
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,081
Come here, come here.
958
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:25,765
I think I...
I think I got something.
959
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,446
See this?
960
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:43,686
Few more like this,
961
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,007
you can pave Wall Street.
962
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,806
(laughing)
963
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,576
KENNY: When Jackson
pulled that nugget out,
964
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:52,931
we had 'em.
965
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,008
BRIAN:
Brown, Thomas is proud
966
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,442
to announce the public offering
of 27 million shares
967
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,801
of class A common stock
968
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,685
and the initial listing
of Washoe Mining
969
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,928
on the New York Stock Exchange!
970
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,930
(cheering)
971
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,289
We're all going to make
a lot of fucking money!
972
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,449
("Rip It Up"
by Orange Juice plays)
973
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,723
DOORMAN: Welcome to the
Waldorf Astoria, ma'am.
974
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,767
We'll get your bags
right upstairs.
975
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:45,963
Kenny?
976
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,605
Are you here?
977
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,411
Baby?
978
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,249
Where are you?
979
00:53:58,600 --> 00:53:59,600
KENNY:
Ah.
980
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:01,967
KAY:
Oh, my goodness.
981
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:03,206
KENNY:
You surprised?
982
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,765
Yeah.
983
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,204
It's your favorite flower,
right?
984
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:11,880
Babe.
985
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,681
You look beautiful, Kay.
986
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,723
Come here.
987
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,525
I have missed you so much.
988
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,120
You have no idea.
989
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,649
(moaning)
990
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,162
Are these the softest sheets
you've ever felt?
991
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,328
- Yeah, you know, I think they are.
- Yeah.
992
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,250
- You want to get under 'em?
- Yeah.
993
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,610
KENNY:
Oh, hello, men.
994
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:55,920
Everyone, meet the lovely Kay.
995
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,216
- Brian. -Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
996
00:54:57,240 --> 00:54:58,605
- Hollis. Kay.
- Hi.
997
00:54:58,720 --> 00:54:59,920
- Pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.
998
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,331
- Stanton, you know.
- Hey.
999
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,211
The only man in this business
that sweats as much as I do.
1000
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,328
All right, let's do this, huh?
1001
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,169
Ah, there he is.
1002
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:09,890
Mike Acosta, the one and only.
1003
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,207
Mike, meet Kay.
1004
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,641
Two of my favorite people
in the world.
1005
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,411
You know this one stole
my watch to go meet you.
1006
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:18,776
- You stole her watch?
- Oh, no, no, no. -No...
1007
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,016
- I'm just teasing.
- She's just teasing.
1008
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,256
- No, you're not.
- No, she's not.
1009
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:22,441
- No, I'm not.
- (laughing)
1010
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,562
I didn't know what time it...
I got to go.
1011
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,842
It's so good to meet you, Mike.
1012
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,896
- You must be very proud.
- Never doubted for a second.
1013
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,049
- (crowd cheering)
- (whooping)
1014
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,247
Here we go!
Five!
1015
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,283
Four! Three!
1016
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,926
Two! One!
1017
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,003
- Yeah... baby!
- (cheering, whooping)
1018
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,122
I'm ringing the bell, baby!
1019
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:47,651
- [♪♪]
- (cheering)
1020
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,287
(cheering)
1021
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,690
REPORTER: In the story we've
been following very closely,
1022
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:01,926
Washoe Mining
1023
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,610
may be the stock of the year.
1024
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:04,926
REPORTER 2:
On their first day
1025
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,930
on the New York Stock Exchange,
Washoe Mining
1026
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,805
turned into a rocket ship today.
1027
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,843
[♪♪]
1028
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,930
- Hi. Great to meet you.
- Kenny. Mike. Come.
1029
00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:25,484
Oh.
1030
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:26,886
No, I'm okay. Thank you.
1031
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,321
This and the money
are in the genes.
1032
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,847
(low, indistinct conversations)
1033
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,720
How are you? Kenny Wells.
Good to meet you.
1034
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:52,765
(laughter)
1035
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,968
True fucking story.
1036
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,402
Who at this table wants
to know the secret
1037
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,324
to winning bets at pro football?
1038
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,216
- BOBBY: What's that?
- Take the east coast team
1039
00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:05,685
every fucking time.
You know why?
1040
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,407
The west coast team... to them,
they're playing after midnight.
1041
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,410
(sighs)
1042
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,251
(low, indistinct conversations)
1043
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,923
- Rachel Hill.
- Mm.
1044
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,690
- Giants fan.
- Kenny Wells, Rachel.
1045
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,120
So, what do you do, Rachel Hill?
1046
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:35,810
- Investor relations.
- Mm.
1047
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,490
Brown, Thomas.
On the team.
1048
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,927
Cheers to that. You got to be
the best-looking one
1049
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,963
on the team, I'll tell you that.
1050
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:45,720
BRIAN:
It's like a drunk raccoon
1051
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,285
got a hold of the Hope diamond.
1052
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,044
You don't want to get too close,
1053
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,656
but you're not going
to let it get away either.
1054
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:51,920
(laughs)
1055
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,929
- It's your raccoon.
- Mm.
1056
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,361
You let it run a
multi-billion-dollar company?
1057
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:57,680
What, and lose you as a client
1058
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,370
and half the rest
of my business?
1059
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:00,811
There's risks and there's risks.
1060
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,127
Still, it was
a good fucking day.
1061
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,607
Now, who wants
to buy me a drink?
1062
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,324
Three double shots of Jack.
1063
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,410
So tell me, to go out
into the wilderness
1064
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,807
with your bare hands
1065
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,367
and discover something
that everybody wants...
1066
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,408
how does that feel?
1067
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,841
I, uh... propose a toast.
1068
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,849
Hear, hear.
1069
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,282
To a small creature,
often misunderstood.
1070
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,807
(glasses clink)
1071
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,970
To the raccoon.
1072
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,002
Well, fuck me.
1073
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,010
("Blue Monday"

1074
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,005

River of gold.

1076
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,523
The thing is,
if you don't watch it,
1077
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,170
gold will grow on you.
1078
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,089
(laughing)
1079
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,163
- I can see that now.
- Mm.
1080
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:09,496
- I don't want to talk about it.
- What did...
1081
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:10,851
I wasn't doing anything.
1082
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,962
I said I don't want
to talk about it!
1083
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,003
Well, what the fuck
should I have done, huh?
1084
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,616
Just bend her over the table
right there
1085
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:17,976
and fucking banged her
in front of everybody?
1086
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,490
You are too drunk
to get it up anyway.
1087
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,682
I'll take that challenge, baby.
1088
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,805
I don't care about you flirting
with Miss Pneumatic 1988.
1089
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,840
You think I haven't seen
that shit before, Kenny?
1090
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,370
She had tiny
little fucking titties.
1091
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:30,766
You don't think they were real?
1092
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,083
No, none of this is real.
None of it.
1093
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:35,361
KENNY:
Why are you fucking...
1094
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,084
We made it!
1095
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,090
- Shit.
- Baby, what the fuck?!
1096
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,568
You know what
your problem is, Kay?
1097
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,044
- No. Why don't you tell me.
- You've got no vision.
1098
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:53,844
Right? Fucking vision.
1099
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,176
Your vision starts right here,
and it goes to right here.
1100
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:57,696
Right here
is the fucking kitchen sink,
1101
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,563
and right here's
the goddamn parking lot
1102
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,967
at the furniture store.
1103
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,560
- Come on.
- You mean an actual job
1104
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,682
that would support a person
in the place they live?
1105
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,165
You mean that vision?
1106
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:11,560
You know what? Fuck you.
1107
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,967
- Ah, Kay, fuck me.
- Fuck you.
1108
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,376
Fuck you. Fuck...
Wh-wh-what, what?
1109
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,210
Don't you see
what's happening here?
1110
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:19,400
Oh, great. Go...
Yeah, yeah.
1111
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,528
Pack your shit, run back
to your shitty life, huh?
1112
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,120
- You know what? I like my shitty life.
- Christ.
1113
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,368
- It's mine.
- Fucking giving this up.
1114
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,006
You always wanted
a broken bird, didn't you?
1115
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,565
Said the right things,
but in here,
1116
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,842
you never fucking believed
in me, did you?
1117
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,642
You never believed in me,
did you, Kay?
1118
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,445
Hmm? You like me losing,
don't you?
1119
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,536
- How can you even say that?
- It makes you feel comfortable,
1120
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,176
doesn't it?
Does it feel comfortable, Kay?
1121
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,761
These people are using you.
1122
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,486
- They don't care about you.
- I don't fucking...
1123
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,568
(crying): And they certainly
don't believe in you.
1124
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,967
- Yeah, but, Kay, I found gold.
- (crying): Goddamn...
1125
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:57,241
Now we're winning, babe.
1126
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,328
Would you just let me
have the win?
1127
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,481
We're winning!
1128
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,529
(glass breaking)
1129
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,566
It ever occur to you
that I know what I'm doing?
1130
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:12,841
I hope you do.
1131
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,450
Huh?
1132
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:15,560
I do.
1133
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,925
- I love what's in there...
- Mm.
1134
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,849
More than you'll ever know.
1135
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,361
These guys are going
to tear you up.
1136
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,331
Mm.
1137
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,284
Don't ask me to watch
what happens next.
1138
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,562
I know what I'm doing, Kay.
1139
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,523
I know what I'm fucking doing.
1140
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:39,721

1141
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,681
JENNINGS:
What'd you do next, Wells?
1142
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,921
What did I do?
1143
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,291
I rode it.

And I'll have the same.
1151
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,725
Oh, goddamn.
You don't have to impress me.
1152
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,730
Reminds me of my childhood.
1153
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:33,763
So how is everything
1154
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,327
in the very enchanted world
of Kenny Wells?
1155
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,767
I feel like a million bucks,
1156
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,247
only a few hundred times better.
1157
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,721
That must be
a very nice feeling.
1158
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,002
Yeah.
It looks like there's a...
1159
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,283
a few other people around here
with a similar feeling.
1160
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,323
Mm, maybe.
1161
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,410
Maybe not.

water splashing)

KENNY: How does someone
like yourself end up, uh, here?
1164
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,289
I know Tom.
1165
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:06,640
Tom is a friend.
1166
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,802
- Oh, I bet he is.
- (laughs) Now, now.
1167
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,730
I stay with his cousin,
Timmy, down the lane.
1168
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,125
Timmy's really quite
a character,
1169
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:16,765
if you get to know him.
1170
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,405
I don't know Timmy.
1171
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,241
I don't really
feel like talking.
1172
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,131
Let's just feel things.
1173
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,363
MAN:
Wells.
1174
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,571
- Kenny Wells?
- KENNY: Uh-huh.
1175
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,205
Mark Hancock.
1176
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,403
Seems I've caught you at a bit
of a disadvantage, Mr. Wells.
1177
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:45,891
Depends on how you look at it.
1178
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,002
Kenny goddamn Wells, Mark.
1179
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,202
This is Rachel.
1180
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:51,336
Oh, I know the lovely Rachel.
1181
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,169

this son of a bitch here,
1182
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,329
he controls more gold than
anybody on the goddamn planet.
1183
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,762
With the possible exception now
of Mr. Wells.
1184
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,369
This is how it happens, huh?
1185
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,968
This is how it happens.
1186
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,526
Goddamn.

("Temptation"

What can I tell you?
1189
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,096
- Kenny, it's a generous offer.
- It's a fucking joke!
1190
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:33,246
Let's-let's take this...
1191
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,931
This isn't a deal, Brian.
This is a goddamn rape.
1192
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,281
- Listen... listen to me.
- No, no, this is mine!
1193
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,402
It's mine! I-I found it!
1194
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,483
Me and Mike.
We were the ones up to our ass
1195
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,331
in the mud and the shit
and the malaria.
1196
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,881
And this little prick
offers a minority partnership?
1197
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,736
Kenny, let's keep
some perspective here, okay?
1198
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,683
Whenever anybody offers
this amount of money,
1199
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:52,926
it's a good day.
1200
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:54,405
You may say yes, you may say no,
1201
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,256
but it's not like anybody's
trying to offend you.
1202
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:57,800
Well, mission
goddamn not accomplished.
1203
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,683
Hancock and Newport Holdings
have the expertise
1204
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,529
and the experience
to bring this home.
1205

as a contingency. -No, no.

- You know that.
- No, no, no.

This is when Washoe Mining
becomes a player,
1208
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,330
right here, right fucking now.
1209
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,886
Not Mark fucking Hancock
and Newport Holdings.
1210
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,522
I don't even see our name
on here, Brian.
1211
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,170
You took our fucking name...
1212
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,647
you took my name off it.
1213
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,206
But if we take a step back here,
1214
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,049
wouldn't it not be terrible
1215
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,003
to sit back
and enjoy your success?
1216
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,724
"Wouldn't it not be terrible"?
1217
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,127
What the fuck kind of way
of talking is that, Brian?
1218
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,685
W-W-Wouldn't it not be terrible
1219
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:33,016
if I bend over
and grab my ankles
1220
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,088
so you could fuck me up the ass?
1221
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,402
You think you can buy me out
and take my name?
1222
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,568
Or just throw Kenny Wells
to the fucking cornfield?
1223
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,648
Fuck you, Brian.
1224
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,286
If we hit pause for a second
1225
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,802
and consider, without emotion,
1226
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,450
I think you'll realize
1227
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,325
that this is one of those
very rare moments
1228
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,808
where, with a stroke of a pen,
no one in your family...
1229
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,968
I'm talking your children's
grandchildren...
1230
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,368
Will ever have to worry
about money again.
1231
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,166
You see these hands, Brian?
1232
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,284
These are my father's hands.
1233
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,368
I have scratched and clawed
through the hot earth
1234
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:34,811
with these hands,
1235
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:38,481
and I will bury you
with these hands.
1236
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:45,002
Now, you go tell that silky
sable, Mark Hancock...
1237
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,771
he works for Kenny Wells.
1238
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,645
My fucking day.
1239
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,410
My day!
1240
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,888
(sighs)
1241
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,731
You know,
I almost respect this guy.

JENNINGS:
That was a pretty foolish
1243
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:08,530
business decision, wasn't it?
1244
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,484
You're a foot away
from living in your car.
1245
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,047
You turned down $300 million?
1246
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:16,650
Over naming rights?
1247
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:21,850
Yeah, I did.
1248
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,482
Because Kensana would become
a Newport Mine, right?
1249
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,887
And Mark fucking Hancock's
Midas touch continues.
1250
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,331
Me, Kenny Wells,
1251
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,164
the-the lucky bastard
who fell down drunk
1252
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,641
and woke up
in a pile of cash. No.
1253
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,087
It was my dream.
1254
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,329
I dreamed it.
1255
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:52,807
You sell your dream...
1256
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,122

Good morning, Stacy.
How are you today?

- Good.
- How's Ronnie? Good?

- Thank you.
- Okay. Mm. -Kenny.

Mike's on the line. Come on.

Kenny's here. -Come on!

It's a fucking shit-storm. -Mm.

Mikey, what's up?
1266
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:51,087
They're locking us out.

- They're what?
- They're locking us out!
1268
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:53,647
The military's here.
1269
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:54,920
They're taking over the mine.
1270
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,207
What happened at your meeting
with Hancock?
1271

What happened
at the meeting, Kenny?!
1272
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,686
Listen, Mike, they-they
were trying to push us out.
1273
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,768
Push us out? Wha-What
do you mean, push us out?
1274
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,008
They took... they took
our names off it, Mike.
1275
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,447
Mine and yours. They took
our fucking names off.
1276
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,005
Aw, you fucking moron!
1277
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,851
They can't... can't just revoke
the-the permit, all right?
1278
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:14,842
They can't just steal it away.
1279
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,176
Kenny, what?
What the fuck is going on?
1280
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:17,656
MIKE: Of course
they can revoke the permit!
1281
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,489
Suharto can do
whatever the fuck he wants!

I told you, man.
1289
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,448
You knew exactly
who we were dealing with.
1290
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,688
These people are killers.
1291
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:39,928
Hancock first among them.
1292
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,327
I told you, Kenny.

that in addition

01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,282
to having, um, longstanding ties
1297
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:00,845
with Suharto...
1298
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,566
Newport Holdings

a certain ex-president
of the United States.
1300
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,882
Who was also...
(chuckles softly)

in one of Suharto's weddings...
1302
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,045
as a groomsman.
1303
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,083
So you see, that whole time
they're telling me
1304
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:16,964
how rich my grandkids
are gonna be,
1305
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:18,411
they got a backup plan.
1306
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,807
They're gonna pick my pocket
and steal it all away.

On my way to...
where I'm planning to drill,
1401
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,128
I get us stuck.
1402
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,121
Five feet of mud.
1403
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:20,011
We're just sitting in the rain
day after day,
1404
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:22,128
watching the metal rust.
1405
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,444
What'd you do?
1406
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,449
Under the theory
that it's better
1407
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,642
to do something
than nothing, I...
1408
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,684
reported... this was the spot.
1409
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,522
Nowhere became somewhere.
1410
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,288
The place you got stuck.
1411
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,768
I got lucky.
1412
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:56,691
(chuckles)
1413
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,041
I fucking love that.
1414
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,723
You went looking for bauxite,
and you found copper.
1415
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:12,489
I went looking for gold and...
1416
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,682
found a friend.
1417
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:19,809
That is the single hokiest thing
1418
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,321
I've ever heard in my life.
1419
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,443
$0, you got a plan?
1420
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,329
Don't you?
1421
01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:31,568
[♪♪]
1422
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:41,849
KENNY:
So, get this.
1423
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,248
Turns out Suharto had a son,
1424
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:47,488
his youngest, Darmadi,
1425
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,364
AKA Danny.
1426
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:52,529
Bit of a screw-up,
real problem for the old man.
1427
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,883
Mm, safe to say
we understood each other.
1428
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,641
So, Suharto had been trying
to get Danny set up for years,
1429
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,326
all right, but everything
Danny touched turned to shit.
1430
01:17:02,440 --> 01:17:05,205
Now, I figure
if we can bring Danny on board
1431
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,322
as a partner,
maybe he could get Daddy
1432
01:17:07,440 --> 01:17:10,046
to change his mind
and swing things back our way.
1433
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,731
Now, it was a Hail Mary
from our own one-yard line,
1434
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,569
but it was all we had.
1435
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,125
But it also didn't hurt
1436
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,004
that Danny
had been regularly ignored
1437
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,646
by a certain ex-president
of the United States
1438
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,047
who was a groomsman
at his father's third wedding
1439
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:27,250
and also happened to sit on
the board at Newport Holdings.
1440
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,931
So, this guy goes
to a Cadillac dealership.
1441
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:31,656
Right? Dealer comes out
and he says, "Sir,
1442
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,216
are you thinking
about buying a Cadillac?"
1443
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,242
He says, "No. I'm
definitely buying a Cadillac.
1444
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,328
"What I'm thinking about...
1445
01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:39,249
is pussy."
1446
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,368
(Kenny laughing)
1447
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,322

Pussy.

(chuckles)
1449
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,447
Mm. Oh, shit.
1450
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,650
Cadillac is...
1451
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,922
Pussy magnet.
(laughing)
1452
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:03,849
You like Cadillacs.
1453
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,200
Yeah!

- Mm-hmm.

George H.W. Bush...
1462
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:34,440

Mm-hmm.

Mark Hancock...
1465
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:39,605
also tall man.
1466
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:41,484
My father...
1467
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,329
small man.
1468
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:45,568
Small in stature.
1469
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,287
But... he loves his family.
1470
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:52,650
Mine, too.
1471
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,649
Yeah.
1472
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:58,526
Died in the driveway bringing
in the groceries for my mother.
1473
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,085
His heart.

1476
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:05,810

That's a fucking deal.

01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:16,729
That's a deal
if you have the balls.
1483
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,081
No balls, no deal.

- You asking me

Fuck, he has balls.
1488

- Mm-hmm.

What are you talking about?
1511
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:57,926
Who cut a deal with him?
1512
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:01,010
Suharto.
The Indonesian government.
1513
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,602
- What? -Washoe retains
15% of the find.
1514
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,610
The other 85 goes to a company
of Suharto's choosing,
1515
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:10,963
which just so happens
to be owned by his son.
1516
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,731
- Wells cut us off at the knees.
- What about Hancock?
1517
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,081
He's out.
Can't compete at that number.

We represent exactly none of it.
1522
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,720
- 15% is a terrible deal.
- Is it?
1523
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,810
What's 15% of $30 billion?
1524
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:32,321
I can explain. You met him.
1525
01:22:32,440 --> 01:22:33,885

01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,290
"when they
finally stopped moving
1576
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,209
"and said...
1577
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:37,449
'This is the place."'
1578
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:43,889
Too much?
1579
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,128
(chuckles softly)
That's good.
1580
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:52,161
- Yeah.

1581
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,601
MAN:
our own Kenny Wells!
1582
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:57,690
Get up here, Kenny!

01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:59,723

(cheering)
1585
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,441
Thank you. Um...
1586
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:31,564
My great granddad...
1587
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,529
was one of us.
1588
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,570
He came out here in a wagon
with two horses and a mule,
1589
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:39,001
and, you know,
he crossed six states
1590
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,168
before he slowed down,
and it was...
1591
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:42,520
it was when he got here
1592
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:46,804
that he finally pulled
those reins back and said...
1593
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:50,242
- "This is the place."
- (murmuring, chuckling)

What is a prospector?

(murmuring, chuckling)
1597
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:00,726
No, no, I'm...
1598
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:02,444
Seriously, what...
1599
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,048
What is a prospector?
1600
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,563
It's someone who believes...
1601
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,167
it's out there.
1602
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,521
Who wakes up every morning,
1603
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,530
again and again,
again and again...
1604
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,327
believing it's out there.
1605
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,451
- And then it's not.
- (laughter)
1606
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,530
- Right? It's not.
- Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.
1607
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,406
And he's standing
on the edge of the desert,
1608
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,010
staring a...
1609
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:42,329
new day's sunrise
right in the eye, and...
1610
01:28:42,440 --> 01:28:44,807
and he hears that little voice,
1611
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,327
a little voice that says...
1612
01:28:49,440 --> 01:28:51,568
"Go ahead.
1613
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,927
Keep walking."
1614
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:56,725
And the sun gets
higher and higher,
1615
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:58,842
and it's shining down on him,
and he's really hot,
1616
01:28:58,960 --> 01:28:59,960
and he doesn't have
1617
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:01,280
any water to drink,
1618
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,880
and everybody that came
with him wants to turn back,
1619
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:05,729
and eventually,
they do turn back,
1620
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,729
and there he is.
1621
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,002
And he's all alone.
1622

[♪♪]
1623
01:29:20,440 --> 01:29:22,647

1624
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,160
that it's out there, man.
1625
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,282
(hoarsely):
It's out there.
1626
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:40,289
That's a prospector.

1628
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:45,003

What happened, huh?
What happened?

01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:50,010
The independent assayer.
1665
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,043
They couldn't reproduce
Mike's findings.

There's no gold.

Kenny, there's no goddamn gold.
There never was.
1669

That's not possible.

MAN: The image on the left
is the type of gold
1671
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:10,605
found in the Washoe samples.
This is river gold.
1672
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:12,404
Notice how the edges
are rounded,
1673
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:14,966
worn smooth
by the erosion of water.
1674
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:17,128
What we should have found
is flake gold,
1675
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:18,765
the sample on the right,
1676
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:22,851
pulled directly from the rock,
rough-edged and angular.
1677
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:25,167
That's a pretty darn big detail
to overlook,
1678
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:26,850
(chuckles):
wouldn't you say?
1679
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,850
It's a big detail, but...
you have to understand,
1680
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,930
everything else about
the Washoe samples was right.
1681
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,122
But the gold was wrong.
1682
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:38,164
MAN: It's called salting...
It literally means when someone
1683
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,971
sprinkles gold dust
into a rock sample,
1684
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,845
like you... salt your steak.
1685
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,884
It is the oldest trick
in the book.
1686
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:48,729
WOMAN:
Oldest trick in the book?
1687
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:50,808
And yet major
mining corporations,
1688
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:52,610
investment banks, the auditors,
1689
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:54,085
everyone was fooled.
1690
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:56,407
We weren't fooled.
1691
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:58,409
We just didn't look.
1692
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:00,124
By all appearances,
1693
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:01,765
Washoe's security protocol
1694
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:03,245
were ironclad.
1695
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,328
But... when the person
1696
01:33:05,440 --> 01:33:08,046
administering the security
is fraudulent,
1697
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,845
the whole system goes down.
1698
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,249
KENNY:
Right. Did he say...
1699
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,448
wh-wh-where-where he was going?
1700
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,130
Did he mention Jakarta?
1701
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:24,201
I'll call you back.
1702
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:30,130
The New York Stock Exchange
just suspended trading.
1703
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,005
They've taken Washoe
off the board.

I thought it was just gonna
keep going up. (chuckles)
1711
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:01,520
Damn it, Bobby,
I told you from the beginning
1712
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,325
just put some away,
save a little bit just in case.

- that we know of?

1745

Large institutional investors

or maybe both of them,
1748
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:45,964

1751
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:52,486
With hundreds of millions
of dollars.
1752
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:56,008
Kenny Wells has always
maintained his innocence,
1753

that he was duped

Given that,
what do you make of this?
1755

Kenny Wells,
a fool or a mastermind?

I sincerely apologize

Mr. Wells, exactly when

Uh, later. A few days or so.
I'll let you know.

And then he does
a disappearing act.

But this you know.
1812
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:32,408

of the assay lab in Kalimantan

Now, at this point,
1823
01:40:57,480 --> 01:41:00,484
either he's being transferred
to an actual prison, or...
1824
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:02,409
he's bribed one of the officers.

Either way,
1826
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,284

No fucking way.

except Mike Acosta traded
water filters for river gold.

But now
the Indonesian government
1847
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:07,326
have gone unusually quiet

1849
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:10,844
There was an autopsy

of the body.
1851
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:16,851
They then sealed the report...
1852
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,608
cremated the remains.
1853
01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:25,169
Interestingly,
Danny Suharto, your friend...

dumped a lot of stock as well.

So the Suhartos
are even richer now.
1856
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:34,562
Mike Acosta is ostensibly
dead and buried, and...
1857

$164 million is still missing.
1858
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:40,488
And the only question...

01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,807
I'm left with is...
1860

And I was practically dying
from malaria.
1875
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,971
I gave Mike
the last dollar to my name.
1876
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,765
And I made him promise me
something, I said, "Mike...

don't let me die out here
for nothing."

A few weeks later,
I came to, and...
1879
01:44:46,440 --> 01:44:48,408
Mike was there.
1880
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:51,889
(chuckles)
1881
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,082
He said, "We got...

"we got a strike, Kenny.
1883
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:00,007
We got a goddamn gold mine."
1884
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:09,447
And th-there's no way that
he set out to swindle anyone.
1885
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:12,211
He just needed
to buy a little more time.
1886

And he didn't want
to let me down.

- Levine, sit down!

You want to talk
about the truth?
1889
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:26,890
All right,
let's talk about the truth.
1890
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,162
The only truth here is,
when everybody's getting rich,
1891
01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:32,090
nobody gives a shit
about the truth.
1892
01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:35,283

There were red flags everywhere.

01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:44,770
Why did no one look?
1897
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,848
'Cause no one wanted
to fucking know.
1898
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:48,849
We all wanted to believe.
1899
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,883
Me, you,
fucking everybody. Why?

Because we were all making
so much fucking money, man.

That's the truth.

Oh, fuck...

- No.
1906
01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:15,365
You had no knowledge
1907
01:46:15,480 --> 01:46:18,324
Mike Acosta
was perpetrating a fraud?
1908
01:46:18,440 --> 01:46:20,807
- No.

close to you profit?

I never really cared
about money.

I wouldn't go overboard.
1941

In fact,
I wouldn't leave the state,
1942
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,326
or start buying new stuff
or chartering
1943
01:48:21,440 --> 01:48:23,016
- any more jets.
- I gotta sneak by the guy
1944

at the front desk 'cause
I can't pay the hotel bill.
1945
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,810
