1
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:46,366
KENNY".
We were a real business.
2
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,920
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 --> 00:00:57,683
...the kind that's the backbone
of this country.
5
00:00:57,799 --> 00:00:59,529
(indistinct chatter)
6
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,765
Don't take my word for it.
7
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,369
Go in the parking lot
and look on the license
8
00:01:02,479 --> 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 --> 00:01:10,010
KENNY:
That's Furnace Creek.
11
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,564
This, uh, picture's
over 100 years old.
12
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,965
KAY:
Hmm.
13
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:14,843
KENNY: And you see this
handsome devil right here?
14
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,563
KAY:
Uh-huh.
15
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:18,245
KENNY:
He's a Wells.
16
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:22,159
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 --> 00:01:26,804
Well, I don't know
what I pictured exactly.
19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,603
I guess little... little carts
20
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:30,847
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
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:34,722
Wh-what we do
is we look for the metals
23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,045
and the minerals,
all right?
24
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:37,924
There's exploration
over there,
25
00:01:38,039 --> 00:01:41,283
there's engineering
and there's production, right?
26
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,766
We're prospectors.
27
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:46,530
NOt yet?
28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,051
-Okay, how about this?
-Yeah...
29
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,686
Um... so let's say that this...
30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,079
is the Earth.
31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,121
My handbag?
32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,924
Your handbag is Mother Earth
33
00:01:56,039 --> 00:01:57,609
with all of her
deep-filled mysteries
34
00:01:57,759 --> 00:01:59,841
and goodies on the inside that
she does not want to give up.
35
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,688
Me, I'm man,
36
00:02:01,799 --> 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
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,050
I go down inside
and dig around,
39
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:11,729
come across something.
40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,206
I pull it out. It's nickel.
41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,762
Now, nicke
's actually
75% copper and 25% nickel,
42
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:19,040
but there's a whole lot
of nickel in the world,
43
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:21,646
and the world needs nickels.
44
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:23,841
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 --> 00:02:27,889
silver.
47
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:29,610
Now, the thing is, when you
find a little bit of this,
48
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:31,324
that means there could be
a whole hell of a lot of it.
49
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:32,965
So we start raising money.
50
00:02:33,079 --> 00:02:35,480
We raise enough money
to open a mine
51
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:37,283
like the one in that picture
right here.
52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,562
Then".
53
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:42,768
we dig it all up.
54
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,168
Now, sometimes--
not that often, but sometimes--
55
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,283
the prospecting gods are having
a party at the Pearly Gates,
56
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:53,329
and we get real, real,
really lucky.
57
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:55,163
And we dig down in there,
58
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,163
then we find
a little metal called...
59
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,322
gold.
60
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:02,885
(gasps)
61
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:06,367
-Yes.
-Kenny.
62
00:03:06,479 --> 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
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:23,243
Hey, Pop. (knocks on door)
Heard you want to see me.
68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,566
Yeah, Kenny.
69
00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:27,121
Get your ass in here,
would you?
70
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,604
Would you, uh, run through this
71
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:30,609
Pershing County strategy
again for me?
72
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:32,882
Right, um...
73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,366
It's about this southern part
of this Newmont property,
74
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:36,765
right here.
75
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,200
Now, Newmont just started
drilling 140 meters
76
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,009
and they're finding
a whole lot of magnesite.
77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,884
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
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:47,770
We're not drilling
deep enough.
80
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:49,609
Let's get back in there.
Drill deeper.
81
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,723
Go to 140 if we need to,
and we got a damn good chance
82
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,682
of getting Relief
back in production.
83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,688
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 --> 00:04:01,040
You know a hell of a lot
more about it than I do.
86
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:02,764
But the assays look promising.
87
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:04,484
Could be fucking huge.
88
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:11,368
I want you to run point
on this.
89
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,681
-(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
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:20,439
Yes, sir.
93
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,047
Clive Coleman's on board.
94
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:26,725
Those boys will ride with you.
95
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:34,084
(exhales)
96
00:04:34,199 --> 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
"
don't have to do this.
100
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:47,362
I get to do this."
101
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,401
And then it's just blue skies.
102
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,045
Blue skies, baby.
103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,240
KENNY".
My old man...
104
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,327
a legend.
105
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,242
That was the last time
I saw him alive.
106
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,286
(low, indistinct
conversations)
107
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,250
MAN:
A little eye-opener, Kenny?
108
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,600
KENNY:
God bless you, Roy.
109
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,644
(softly):
Here we are.
110
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:01,127
-Boys, to the mother lode.
-ALL: Mother lode.
111
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,242
Today be the day.
112
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,327
KENNY".
The geological reports on this
113
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:06,487
are highly encouraging.
114
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,079
We are taking a very
aggressive approach.
115
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:10,166
Prospectus?
Of course.
116
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,963
I can have my secretary
send you one right out.
117
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:14,242
KENNY: But I got to tell you,
this offering,
118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,043
it's already over-subscribed.
119
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,002
You know, we can always try
and get you in on the next one.
120
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,725
No, no.
Yea, I understand.
121
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:23,086
Shit.
122
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:25,964
Watching the time?
It's 11:15, Kenny.
123
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:28,447
Oh, Christ.
124
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,249
Where would I be without you?
125
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,608
MAN:
Mr. Wells?
126
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,449
- Yes.
- Lloyd Stanton.
127
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,244
- Hello, Lloyd. Kenny Wells.
- Hi.
128
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,691
LLOYD: This is my colleague,
Henry Andrews.
129
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,887
-Pleased to meet you.
-Hey.
130
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,240
-Come on back.
-Absolutely.
131
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,726
KENNY:
Thank you. (clears throat)
132
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,970
LLOYD:
So, what can we do for ya?
133
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:00,968
Well, why don't we wait
for Clive?
134
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:03,321
Oh, uh, Mr. Coleman
got tied up in a meeting.
135
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,845
No offense, boys,
136
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:07,088
but I'm supposed to be meeting
with Clive.
137
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,009
None taken, but if you were
supposed to be
138
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,201
meeting with Clive, you
would be meeting with Clive.
139
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,129
All right.
Here is what we have.
140
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,244
We are developing some
very exciting properties
141
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,125
that are spot-on
for your investor profile.
142
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,961
Low buy-in
with a sizable upside.
143
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:28,411
-Mm-hmm.
-And the beautiful part is
144
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,240
they are all only 12 to 18
months and cash positive.
145
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,566
-Manitoba?
-Yeah.
146
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,485
We picked up an option
on a skip claim at an auction.
147
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,165
Right, but it's
a 90-day option.
148
00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:39,610
Yes, the window is narrow,
149
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,005
but if you have a look
at the geo,
150
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,360
you'll see a very promising
shale formation
151
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:44,841
that hasn't been tapped yet.
152
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:49,802
LLOYD: Mr. Wells,
Washoe has a practical value
153
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,125
hovering just above zero.
154
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,043
Your debt load is untenable,
155
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,965
and you bring us, uh, raw land
with no infrastructure,
156
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,360
no fungible assets.
(laughs): I mean,
157
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,084
you can't possibly expect us
to underwrite this.
158
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:02,440
Yeah. I'm talking about
a small offering here.
159
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,084
As I said in the beginning,
a low buy-in.
160
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:06,362
Now, if you'll take
a second look at the geo,
161
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,528
you will see what I see.
162
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:11,040
And that's money.
163
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,048
Not our money.
164
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,730
(exhales heavily)
165
00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:22,206
(groaning)
166
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:43,804
KENNY".
See, the... the thing is
167
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,167
that the whole economy
had turned,
168
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:48,600
particularly for commodities.
169
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,923
Close of the day,
170
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:55,407
Washoe was trading
at four cents a share
171
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:57,682
if it was trading at all.
172
00:08:57,799 --> 00:08:59,927
Washoe Mining. There's this
great little land lease.
173
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,408
'Cause this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity.
174
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,403
Right. Washoe. Washoe Mining.
175
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,005
You know, carrying the...
carrying on the business.
176
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,566
You know, there's still
minerals out there.
177
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,841
We just got to find them,
right?
178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,927
Yeah, all right, all right.
179
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:14,166
Thank... thank you
for your time. Bye.
180
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,889
(phone beeps)
181
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:18,605
I could...
182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,245
12 to 18 months...
183
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,283
cash positive.
184
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,801
Adeal...
185
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:26,046
Goddamn, I am calling you.
186
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:27,649
Fuck whatever time it is.
187
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:32,690
Washoe Mining,
188
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,604
the company that my grandfather
189
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:37,969
literally scratched out of
the side of a Nevada mountain,
190
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,164
the company that my father
made into a real player,
191
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:45,328
was almost gone.
192
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,807
Almost.
193
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:55,168
I'd already, uh, lost my house,
194
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,403
and I was, uh...
I was living with Kay.
195
00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:02,047
And, uh, we-we were about
to lose that, too.
196
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:08,201
(exhales)
197
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,690
I had a half gallon
of Seagram's in me.
198
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,446
Shit, most people would have
been dead, but not me. No.
199
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,323
(chuckles)
200
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,328
Instead...
201
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,966
I had a dream.
202
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,450
I mean, I mean,
I mean, literally, I...
203
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,403
I had a dream.
204
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:36,169
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
205
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:44,206
Indonesia.
206
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,129
Gold.
207
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,606
Now, I'd been to Indonesia
five or six years earlier.
208
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,562
l still had a little money
in my pocket.
209
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,330
You know,
Indonesia was booming,
210
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,807
and I was looking
for a way to get in.
211
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,884
Back then, if you wanted
212
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,445
to put a hole in the ground
in Indonesia,
213
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,729
you wanted Mike Acosta
telling you where to dig.
214
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,206
He's what they called
a River Walker.
215
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,004
Yeah, a real hands-on
geologist.
216
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,086
The real deal.
217
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,928
(Mike speaking Spanish)
218
00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:18,326
KENNY:
Oxford College, MIT.
219
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,725
His mom was Venezuelan.
220
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,081
His dad was English.
221
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:25,446
Now, you see,
he'd just discovered
222
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,166
the largest copper strike
in Southeast Asia,
223
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:32,524
and everybody wanted
a piece of him, including me.
224
00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:35,325
MIKE: You got the Nazca Plate,
the Pacific Plate.
225
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,726
Juan de Fuca,
North American, South American.
226
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:39,609
Aleutian, Marianas, Tonga.
227
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:42,490
The plates rubbing
and grinding up on each other.
228
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,283
Six trillion kilobytes
of pressure.
229
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:48,165
10,000 degrees Celsius
kicking up geothermic hot spots
230
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,168
all along the Pacific rim.
231
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,409
KENNY". He called it the, uh,
the Ring of Fire theory.
232
00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:56,522
And he definitely had
everyone's attention.
233
00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:59,165
That's how I found the copper.
234
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,607
And that's why
I'll find the gold.
235
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,411
(Kay groaning)
236
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,009
You're up early.
237
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,769
H9)’-
238
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,570
You want to talk
about yesterday.
239
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,849
No. I gotta go right now, babe.
I've gotta plan. Gotta plan.
240
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,201
-Oh, wait, Kenny,
Kenny, listen. -Hmm?
241
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,209
Carl had an idea.
242
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,606
-American Home Carl?
-Uh-huh.
243
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,290
He said he could, uh,
get you on for a while,
244
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,043
-if you wanted.
-Right, right, right, right.
245
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,924
Yeah, I don't think that's
going to be necessary, babe.
246
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:43,690
Yeah, but it'd
just be temporary
247
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:45,403
till the market turns.
248
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,649
We could fool around
in the warehouse.
249
00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:50,125
You know, I tell you...
250
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,480
(moaning)
251
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,125
When I get done with this trip,
all right?
252
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,446
Shouldn't take
more than a week.
253
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,971
-All right.
-What? Where you going?
254
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,400
-If it doesn't work out,
I'll give Carl a call. -Baby...
255
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:00,124
- I'll call you from the
airport. -Wait. Wait, wait.
256
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,571
Kenny!
257
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,081
KENNY: It was like
I was being called, you know?
258
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,240
It was the gold calling.
259
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,124
That may sound crazy to you,
260
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,163
but if you...
if you knew that feeling,
261
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,408
-well, you'd know.
-(engine roaring)
262
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,129
("Ron Klaus Wrecked His House"
by Big Dipper plays)
263
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:30,400
(horns honking)
264
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,209
KENNY". Kenny Wells.
I'm down here in the, uh,
265
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,730
the lobby of the, uh,
Jakarta Palace.
266
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,443
Uh... Yeah, listen,
267
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,090
we must've got
the times mixed up.
268
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,123
Um... Let me know.
I'm down here.
269
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,369
I'm in the brown suit,
I'm on the green couch.
270
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,686
I'm the good-looking guy, okay?
271
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:04,130
All right.
We'll make it happen, cap'n.
272
00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:05,485
All right.
273
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,600
MIKE:
Wells?
274
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,528
Mike.
275
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Good to see you again.
276
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:22,249
I know a local place,
a bit more color.
277
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,488
What, they're not pouring here?
278
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:27,802
-Good.
-(snaps fingers)
279
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:30,809
-(plays gentle melody)
- So,
280
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:33,525
what are we talking about
here, Wells?
281
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,009
Ring of Fire, Mike.
282
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,610
Ring of Fire.
283
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,690
You're playing
my greatest hits.
284
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:44,040
Fire's gone out of that one.
285
00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:45,923
Well, what are you
talking about?
286
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:49,885
It's the opinion of my
fellow esteemed geologists,
287
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,446
that the whole thing--
I'm quoting here--
288
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,607
is a crock of shit.
289
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,768
Well, what the hell, you know?
290
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:58,644
You called it wrong.
291
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,729
What are you going to do?
292
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,524
There's no right or wrong
in this business.
293
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,927
There's only hits and misses.
294
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,645
There's gold here.
295
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,365
I'm glad you said that, Mike.
296
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:20,807
I truly am, 'cause I...
297
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,009
...believe you.
298
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,407
I hate to dash your hopes,
but don't you think
299
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:28,488
others have come along
before you with the same thought
300
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,524
and, from the looks of it,
deeper pockets?
301
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:35,325
Ring of Fire is real, Mike.
302
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,804
I knew it
the first time I heard.
303
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:38,604
It struck me like
a fucking lightning bolt,
304
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,323
and I never forgot it.
305
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,488
Go ahead, laugh.
I get that all the time.
306
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,080
But hear this.
307
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,407
I don't just believe.
308
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:48,965
I know.
309
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,162
- No, you don't.
- I've seen it.
310
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:54,408
You don't understand.
311
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,729
- No one will back me.
- I will.
312
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,967
You tell me where
you want to dig, Mikey,
313
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,970
and I'll make goddamn sure
the bills are paid.
314
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,844
No offense, Wells, but...
315
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,691
you look like you had to rob
someone just to get here, man.
316
00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:11,644
You know nothing about me.
317
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:13,966
You know it's still out there.
318
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,282
I know that.
319
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:20,289
I can see it in your eyes.
You still believe.
320
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:25,481
I get it, and I was born on
the side of the mountain, too.
321
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,125
My-my father scratched
everything he ever owned
322
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,605
out of a fucking rock.
All right?
323
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,880
Died with dirt
under his fingernails,
324
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,683
and I intend to do the same.
325
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,568
This business...
326
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,323
wrote me off years ago.
327
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,645
All right, maybe you're
not running the hottest
328
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:37,885
in your career
right now either,
329
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,206
so let's prove them wrong.
330
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,480
You and me.
331
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:41,765
Let's prove them all
fucking wrong.
332
00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:43,165
And you know why?
333
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,681
You do know why,
because the Ring of Fire
334
00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:49,962
is right, Mike.
You called it.
335
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,811
You just haven't found it yet.
336
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,047
Tell me I'm crazy.
337
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,567
I'll be on the next plane.
338
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,607
You're crazy.
339
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:17,809
You have a hat, Wells?
340
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,361
Yeah, I got a hat.
341
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:24,931
Why, we going somewhere?
342
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:27,691
MIKE:
Up river.
343
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:30,201
KENNY".
What river is that, Mike?
344
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,009
You're late.
345
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,929
MIKE:
The only one that matters.
346
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,888
MIKE: The Dayak have been
panning this river
347
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,480
for over 5,000 years.
348
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,040
That's how it got its name,
349
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,208
Daya Kensana.
350
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:09,923
What's it mean?
351
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:11,804
"Daya" means "upstream."
352
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:14,801
"Kensana" means "gold."
353
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,280
You got to be shitting me.
354
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,964
MIKE: Wells.
355
00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:41,240
Wells.
356
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,930
We're here.
357
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:46,249
So, listen, the Dayak
are warrior people,
358
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,885
probably best known for ngayau,
359
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,604
headhunfing.
360
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,165
But it doesn't happen much
anymore.
361
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:55,169
They might be thinking
we're some traders
362
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:56,445
or someone's mother-in-law.
363
00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:59,369
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
364
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,608
(hooting)
365
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,800
KENNY:
How long?
366
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:21,446
MIKE (panting): This jungle
will... will test you.
367
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,849
It will hold you up, weigh you,
368
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,723
and decide your worth
within an ounce.
369
00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:30,568
Do you always talk
like this, Mike?
370
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,205
Like a book on tape?
(grunts)
371
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:35,641
MIKE:
I suppose I do.
372
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:40,525
KENNY (panting):
Where are we going?
373
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,324
MIKE:
Up.
374
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,523
(groaning and breathing hard)
375
00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:51,569
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
376
00:19:55,079 --> 00:19:57,287
Take a look.
377
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,800
(panting)
378
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,324
Oh, my God.
379
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,887
It's my dream.
380
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,888
MIKE: There have been
a few folks up here
381
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,808
tapping over the years,
382
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,763
but have all focused on the
foothills far to the south.
383
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,248
But what interests me
is the other way.
384
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,407
That small depression,
385
00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:31,240
like a giant left a footprint
walking away.
386
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,885
Something happened
there, Wells.
387
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,885
Something hot and angry.
388
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,605
That's where we'll find
the tasty bits.
389
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,484
My dream...
390
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:50,288
...is out there.
391
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,528
MIKE:
Damn right it is.
392
00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:57,567
KENNY".
Look, if it's the big boys
393
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,409
that you're thinking about
investing in us--
394
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,124
you know,
the Harvard endowment
395
00:21:01,279 --> 00:21:03,726
or some...
some pension fund, right?--
396
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,319
I am not your guy.
397
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,965
But the little guys, right,
398
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,723
guys that you don't even
know about,
399
00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:12,523
the, uh, the hustlers,
the scrappers,
400
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,449
the make-it-happen
motherfuckers,
401
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:16,482
those are my guys.
402
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:20,490
How much do we need?
403
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:24,320
Seven. Seven-fifty to start.
404
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,840
0K8)’-
405
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,371
How much do we need?
406
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,561
It isn't just a lease.
407
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,364
We're in Indonesia.
408
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:38,683
That means getting a permit
and lining pockets.
409
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:40,608
Equipment.
You don't just do this
410
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,210
with a couple of shovels
and a pickax.
411
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,930
I'll get the money.
412
00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:45,769
Whatever it takes.
413
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,211
(bird cawing)
414
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,280
- What's that?
- It's a contract.
415
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,890
Read it.
416
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,968
Sign it.
417
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,968
Keep it.
418
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:23,211
KENNY".
I could feel it in my bones.
419
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,090
I was selling something
that I believed in.
420
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,645
20-K minimum buy-in, right,
421
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:32,523
and the shares are fucking
flying off the shelf.
422
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,846
I mean, no risk,
no gain, right?
423
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,440
No, 'cause it's coming in
right now.
424
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,288
No, Acosta. Michael Acosta.
425
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,526
It's the largest
copper strike in history,
426
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,085
and that's the guy
that we got.
427
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,884
Kay, get those shoes shined
for dancing, baby.
428
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,125
MIKE: We don't even have
the exploration permits.
429
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,606
What are they selling?
430
00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:48,250
What are we selling?
431
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,009
Mikey, we're selling the story.
432
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,930
And right now,
the story is you.
433
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,247
Speaking of which, what the fuck
are you doing right now?
434
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,931
I'm down in Kupang City
looking at coring equipment.
435
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:02,930
Acosta's in Kupang City
looking at coring equipment.
436
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:04,609
He's in Kupang City
as we speak.
437
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,563
It-it's a fucking...
438
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,329
Kupang City. We're getting
the coring equipment...
439
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,124
You're magic, Mike.
You're fucking magic.
440
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,727
You there, Mike?
441
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,248
Two hundred
and sixty-seven thousand
442
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,407
four hundred and thirty-four...
443
00:23:28,519 --> 00:23:30,284
dollars.
444
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,846
That's not exactly the number
I had in mind, Wells.
445
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,166
KENNY: Well, look, I may be able
to borrow a little bit
446
00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:37,088
against it, but, you know...
447
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,929
No, you know what?
Truth, Mike?
448
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:40,326
Th-that's it for now.
449
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,244
Th-that's it.
Can you make it work? Hmm?
450
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,165
I can make anything work.
451
00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:49,045
You work out of a bar, Wells?
452
00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:52,527
Keeping a lid on expenses,
Mike.
453
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,801
Making the dollar holler.
454
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,490
-We're in!
-(cheering)
455
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,329
(shouts in local language)
456
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:57,961
KENNY:
Record player. That's classy.
457
00:24:58,079 --> 00:24:59,683
Am I paying for that, Mikey?
458
00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:01,528
Six-man crews,
459
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,803
12-hour shifts
around the clock.
460
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,570
Tomorrow we'll start looking
at our core samples.
461
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,170
Then we'll send
the most promising
462
00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:11,759
down river to the assay lab.
463
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,564
The mother lode, Mike.
464
00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:17,008
You're out there, baby.
465
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,924
("This Must Be the Place"
by Kishi Bashi plays)
466
00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:00,000
(sizzling)
467
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,448
The man that invented
the hamburger was smart, Mike.
468
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:06,086
The man who invented
the cheeseburger,
469
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,849
now, that's the genius.
470
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,730
Don't ask where
the meat came from. Hmm?
471
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,930
MIKE: Have you ever read
Christopher Columbus' journals?
472
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:16,848
KENNY:
Of course not.
473
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,611
MIKE: In his petition
to the queen of Spain,
474
00:26:19,759 --> 00:26:21,489
he promised the conversion
475
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,406
to her holy faith
of a great number of peoples.
476
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:31,441
And he went on
and mentioned God 26 times.
477
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:35,041
Gold, on the other hand,
478
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,210
he mentioned 114 times.
479
00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:40,845
KENNY:
Smart dago.
480
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,041
MIKE: I've been wanting
to ask you something, Wells.
481
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,690
KENNY:
Fire away, Mike.
482
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:47,121
What's the meaning of
the tattoo on your arm?
483
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,890
Oh, it's a bird.
484
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,205
It's from a poem I read
when I was a kid.
485
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:56,481
Bird with no feet...
(whistles)
486
00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:58,442
sleeps in the wind.
487
00:26:58,559 --> 00:26:59,891
(Mike chuckles)
488
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,169
MAN:
Assay!
489
00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:16,362
Assay! Assay!
490
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,369
(speaking local language)
491
00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:37,730
Mike, Mike!
492
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,884
Hey. These things, they look
worse every time we get one.
493
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,604
Do you remember what
I told you about patience?
494
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:44,568
Yeah, you-you remember
what I told you about money?
495
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,881
-Yeah.
-Huh?
496
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,729
- You said that it wasn't
a problem. -Well, it...
497
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:49,410
it's a fucking problem now!
498
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,048
(thunder rumbling)
499
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,441
Hey!
500
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:42,280
Hey!
501
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,685
Hey...
502
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:44,686
Hey, wait!
503
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:45,800
Stay! Stay! Stay! Stay!
504
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,886
(speaks local language)
505
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,362
Hey!
506
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,845
Stay...
507
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:55,729
Hey! Stay-
508
00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:57,125
Stay!
509
00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:07,561
On top of everything else,
510
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,008
I... I got a bad case
of malaria,
511
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:13,566
which kills like something
like a million people a year,
512
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,090
something like that.
513
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,282
Suddenly, I was on the list.
514
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:29,799
Maybe... maybe we were
pushing them too hard.
515
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,923
Maybe we should just
take it easy, you know?
516
00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:34,525
Cut them in.
517
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,007
You know,
give them some ownership.
518
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:41,489
Maybe they'll come back,
you know?
519
00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:43,602
Let them know that they
got something at the end,
520
00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:45,443
you know,
when it all works out.
521
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,683
(mutters)
522
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:51,121
Give them a piece of the pie,
you know?
523
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,320
Get up.
524
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,681
Come on, get up.
525
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,730
I'm freezing, Mike.
526
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:07,410
(Kenny breathing heavily)
527
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,721
Don't let me die
and have nothing, okay?
528
00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:21,130
Get some rest now.
529
00:30:39,079 --> 00:30:41,048
(Kenny coughing)
530
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,801
(Mike speaking local language)
531
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,047
(speaking local language)
532
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:33,406
(birds calling,
animals hooting)
533
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,604
I'm pulling the plug.
534
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:01,328
No.
535
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,289
No, no, no, no, no.
536
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,282
Don't pull the plug, Mike.
537
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:10,086
No, no.
You can't do that, Mikey.
538
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,203
Let's get you
out of here, Wells.
539
00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:15,084
What's the plan, Mikey?
540
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,003
Hmm?
541
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,767
Now, I know you got
a plan, Mike, hmm?
542
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,280
I know you got a plan.
543
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,243
What's the plan, hmm?
544
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,446
What's the plan?
545
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,205
They need clean water.
546
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:37,730
If we get filter systems
up here,
547
00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:39,968
I think they might come back.
548
00:32:40,079 --> 00:32:42,480
(laughing)
549
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,799
I got about $1,800
on this Visa right there.
550
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,923
Close to 500
on this Diner's Club.
551
00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:11,527
Use it all, hmm?
552
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,961
Use it all, Mikey.
553
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:16,526
(laughs, coughing)
554
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,411
(clears his throat)
555
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:49,965
KENNY".
Damned if he didn't go
556
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:51,605
to every single place
557
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,086
that every one
of our workers lived.
558
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,406
Streams that had no name.
559
00:33:56,519 --> 00:33:59,443
All feeding
the great Kensana River.
560
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,161
Whoa!
561
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:04,724
(chanflflg)
562
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:07,763
(indistinct chatter,
cheeflng)
563
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:12,088
(engine revving)
564
00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:14,846
KENNY:
But you know what?
565
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,643
The workers came back.
566
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,688
I spent the next few weeks
in a malarial haze.
567
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,882
Should've been dead.
568
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:28,407
But Mike kept it all going.
569
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:32,007
(coughing)
570
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:56,286
(gasping)
571
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,403
(panting)
572
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,447
What day is it?
573
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,409
MIKE:
Noidea.
574
00:35:17,559 --> 00:35:19,527
-Month?
-August.
575
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,483
You been sitting there
this whole time?
576
00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:25,608
Let's not get carried away.
577
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,684
What'd the report say?
What's the news?
578
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,768
We pulled 17 more cores.
579
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:41,648
What?
580
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,490
- No good?
- No good.
581
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:45,965
Mm.
582
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,648
More in the vicinity of great.
583
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,407
Fuck you, Mike.
Don't mess with me, man.
584
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,445
Eighth of an ounce per ton.
585
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,849
Eighth... eighth of
an ounce per what?
586
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,041
Eighth of an ounce per ton.
587
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,762
What... what are you...
what are you saying, Mike?
588
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,246
We got a strike in.
589
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:27,965
We got a gold mine?
590
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:29,405
(chuckles)
591
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:31,726
-We got a gold mine?
-We got a gold mine.
592
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,802
(laughing)
593
00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:39,445
We got a gold mine, Mike!
We got a gold mine, Mike!
594
00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:41,880
-We got a gold mine.
-We got a goddamn gold mine!
595
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,206
We got a gold mine!
596
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,005
We got a goddamn gold mine!
597
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:48,530
We got a goddamn...
598
00:36:48,679 --> 00:36:50,090
BOTH:
Gold mine!
599
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:51,690
We got a gold mine!
600
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,925
-(laughing)
- I knew it, I knew it,
601
00:36:53,039 --> 00:36:55,646
I knew it, I knew it,
I knew it.
602
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,125
(both screaming)
603
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,641
We got a goddamn gold mine!
604
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,250
Fuck you, mosquitoes!
605
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,929
-(cork POPS)
-(cheering)
606
00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:06,041
KENNY".
That moment...
607
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:09,568
there's no way I could possibly
describe the feeling.
608
00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:11,568
It's amazing
how a little gold dust
609
00:37:11,679 --> 00:37:13,842
can just change everything.
610
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,481
Now, for better or worse,
the ride had begun,
611
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:19,568
and what a goddamn ride.
612
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,001
(laughter)
613
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:23,246
Okay, 0K8)’-
614
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:24,521
Oh, thank God.
615
00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:26,324
(laughter, excited chatter)
616
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,760
-To the best goddamn team
in the business. -Fucking-A.
617
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,041
You're a stand-up guy, Kenny.
618
00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:32,686
-Sharing the wealth.
-Crazy, huh?
619
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,800
To the mother lode.
620
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,603
OTHERS:
The mother lode.
621
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,485
("Spill the Wine"
by the lsley Brothers plays)
622
00:37:46,199 --> 00:37:47,769
All right, baby.
Do me a favor.
623
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,324
Close your eyes, will ya?
624
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,442
-All right.
-Cover them with your hands.
625
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:52,686
(Kay laughing)
626
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,483
- KENNY: Keep 'em closed.
- Okay.
627
00:37:56,639 --> 00:37:58,960
-I got you. I got you.
I got you. -Oh. Okay.
628
00:38:01,039 --> 00:38:05,728
One, two, three.
629
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,764
It's gonna be our place.
630
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,565
Away from it all, above it all,
just like we always wanted.
631
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:17,045
You like it?
632
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:18,730
-Huh?
-Yes, of... Yes.
633
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,764
Okay, look... the house...
right here, all right?
634
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,530
The kitchen, facing there.
The great room over here.
635
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:27,483
-Two fireplaces.
-No...
636
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:28,681
Can we afford this?
637
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,688
Almost, baby. Almost.
We're almost there.
638
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,847
All right, look at this.
Couple bedrooms on that end.
639
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,643
-Couple bedrooms on that end.
-Okay.
640
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,682
Look at this playground
for the kids, huh?
641
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,039
How many kids
you want to have?
642
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:43,844
(Kay laughing)
643
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,371
KAY:
Kitchen has to stay over here.
644
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,969
We gotta put it over here
645
00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:48,320
-to get the morning light.
-Yes!
646
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,804
And a second kitchen
over on this side.
647
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,047
-A third one across the creek.
-(Kay laughing)
648
00:38:52,159 --> 00:38:54,048
A fourth one
up there with the elk.
649
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,681
(crickets chirping)
650
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,527
-Kenny, Kenny.
-Mm?
651
00:39:14,639 --> 00:39:15,925
This is Walt Kealer.
652
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:17,844
-He publishes
Gold Digger magazine. -Mm.
653
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,001
WALT: We reach
half a million subscribers,
654
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:21,530
and they'd all love to know
655
00:39:21,639 --> 00:39:23,369
what you got cooking
over there in Indonesia.
656
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,402
If you have a minute,
I'll buy you a drink.
657
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,322
He's all yours, Walt.
658
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,331
Hell, I read
Gold Digger magazine.
659
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,329
Come on over.
660
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,329
They say you bring this in,
you'll get the Golden Pickaxe.
661
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,208
-(quietly): Aw, shut up.
-What do you say about that?
662
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,528
(laughs): I'd say you
probably just jinxed it.
663
00:39:44,639 --> 00:39:47,688
-How many ounces you guessing?
-Hmm.
664
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,643
Millions, Walt.
Absolutely millions.
665
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:51,965
Placer mining?
666
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:54,606
No. Hard rock.
This is varsity ball.
667
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,210
How's the infrastructure?
668
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,923
KENNY: Building it
from the ground up.
669
00:40:01,679 --> 00:40:03,045
Any message
you'd like to give
670
00:40:03,159 --> 00:40:05,400
to the readers
of Gold Digger magazine?
671
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,168
The last card you turn over
is the only one that matters.
672
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,090
-Kenny, it's good to see you.
-Good morning, Beverly.
673
00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:19,123
Clive, how are you?
674
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,606
-There he is.
-Good to see you, sir.
675
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,688
- It's good to see you, son.
- Mm-hmm.
676
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,530
CLIVE:
You know, your father and I,
677
00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:28,802
we started together
in this business.
678
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,445
Hell, I mean,
he put me in the business.
679
00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:33,210
I don't have to tell you that.
680
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,688
He always spoke very highly
of you, Clive.
681
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,643
He's one of the best men
I ever knew.
682
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:40,925
-Yeah.
-Now!
683
00:40:41,079 --> 00:40:43,128
You have gone
from four to 23 cents
684
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,367
on your first assay results.
685
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,449
And you pulled in two more
to confirm those findings?
686
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:50,449
Three more.
687
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:51,686
-Three more?
-Mm-hmm.
688
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,079
Well, that's fantastic.
689
00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:56,123
Well, I would like
to underwrite
690
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,449
a private placement
of Washoe stock.
691
00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:01,090
And I believe that we can raise
692
00:41:01,199 --> 00:41:03,327
anywhere between
$8 million and $10 million.
693
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,719
Well, capital is definitely
694
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,568
at the top of our agenda
right now.
695
00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:08,090
Well, yes, it is.
696
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:10,806
And a lot of people are going
to want to make this deal,
697
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,284
but history is on our side.
698
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,686
Mm-hmm.
699
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,324
But I just wish you'd
brought this to me sooner.
700
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,010
-I could have helped you
from the get-go. -Hey.
701
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,726
- Well, here we are.
- Here we are.
702
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,251
Lloyd...
703
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,601
top that off for me,
will you?
704
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,929
Straight black
with a spicer chaser.
705
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,929
(exhales)
706
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:50,202
(Kenny speaks indistinctly)
707
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,327
Mr. Wells, uh, coffee.
708
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,771
There we are, Lloyd.
Thank you.
709
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,007
Stanton, Mr. Wells has agreed
710
00:41:56,119 --> 00:41:59,840
to give us his business
on one condition.
711
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,201
Lloyd, I want you
712
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,402
to personally handle
my account.
713
00:42:06,519 --> 00:42:08,170
-(sighs heavily)
-
-
need you to be
714
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,804
available to me 24/7,
715
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:14,329
365, as you will be riding
shotgun in my jockstrap.
716
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,170
Absolutely. Yes. Thank you.
717
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,440
Well, let's quit
standing around here
718
00:42:18,559 --> 00:42:20,005
and go make
some goddamn money, huh?
719
00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:21,326
That sounds good to me.
720
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,684
MIKE:
Kenny? Kenny?
721
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,608
Kenny, did you read
the last report?
722
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,364
Kenny, did you read
the last report?
723
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,811
KENNY".
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
724
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,764
No, I'm looking at them
right now. Holy shit!
725
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,485
Holy shit is right,
my friend.
726
00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:41,251
(both laughing)
727
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,369
KENNY".
No, it's unbelievable.
728
00:42:46,599 --> 00:42:47,885
Holy shit.
729
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:49,929
Bobby, I can hear your wife
730
00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:51,280
smiling from here.
731
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,889
Right back where you belong,
Kenny.
732
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,400
Yeah, there's a lot of ghosts
in this building, boys.
733
00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:57,760
-(elevator bell dings)
- Oh, nice work, Todd!
734
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,802
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
735
00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:24,851
KENNY:
All right, men.
736
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,121
Now, this stock is going
to start cooking.
737
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:28,809
Make sure you put
a little bit away.
738
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,490
Sell some. Just the long way.
Just in case.
739
00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:32,885
-Especially you.
-What?
740
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,126
-Put a little bit away.
-
...
741
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:35,320
For the first time
in your life,
742
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,965
think rainy day, Bobby, okay?
743
00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:38,411
-Of-of course. Of course.
-Hey.
744
00:43:38,519 --> 00:43:39,931
-What?
-Okay?
745
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:42,327
_()kay.
_Q
00:43:56,369
Oh, we're going to be
so fucking rich.
747
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,250
At least look like
you're working, man.
748
00:44:18,679 --> 00:44:21,523
-(knocking on door)
-MAN: Yeah?
749
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,489
What do you got?
750
00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:29,403
Wildcatters, basically.
751
00:44:29,559 --> 00:44:32,005
This Mike Acosta
has had some success. Copper.
752
00:44:32,119 --> 00:44:34,407
Got taken over
by Freeport Mac.
753
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:37,364
- It's all in there.
- Yeah. I've heard of Acosta.
754
00:44:39,679 --> 00:44:41,967
-I like this.
-LLOYD: Bu!‘ I think We start
755
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:44,367
with the good news,
which is that we are, uh,
756
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,927
50% allocated and, uh,
we want to set aside, uh,
757
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:49,844
3O of the remaining 5O
for you boys...
758
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,246
There's more food here.
Don't drink through lunch.
759
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:53,521
-All right?
-(other laughing)
760
00:44:53,639 --> 00:44:55,608
Or just eat something as well.
(laughs)
761
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,449
-(phone ringing)
-Hey, Kay! -Phone!
762
00:44:57,559 --> 00:45:00,688
-What?
-Phone, please.
763
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,762
-That one. Thank you.
-You want me to answer it?
764
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:06,684
Hello.
765
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,485
Uh, Washoe Mining.
How may I direct your call?
766
00:45:09,639 --> 00:45:11,960
- Hi. Uh, Kenneth Wells, please.
- Please hold.
767
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:14,047
Kenny, you got a call!
768
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,403
-Thank you, dear.
-Love you, baby.
769
00:45:18,519 --> 00:45:19,407
All right.
770
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:20,646
Kenny Wells.
771
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,481
This is Brian Woolf at
Brown, Thomas in New York.
772
00:45:24,599 --> 00:45:26,648
I'm with the minerals
and oil group.
773
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,204
No shit.
774
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,409
(Snapping fingers)
775
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,000
Uh-huh.
776
00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:36,570
Uh-huh.
777
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,525
Well, that sounds
outstanding, Brian.
778
00:45:39,639 --> 00:45:41,085
And let me tell you something.
779
00:45:41,199 --> 00:45:42,804
I'm looking forward to it.
780
00:45:43,639 --> 00:45:44,971
All right.
781
00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:55,880
- ♪ ♪
- They're fucking flying me out.
782
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,286
- They're fucking flying me out.
-(laughter)
783
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,282
(Kay squeals)
784
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,929
Come on!
785
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,842
KENNY".
Yeah, the way I see it,
786
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,567
what banks do-- who knows?
787
00:46:08,679 --> 00:46:11,967
But what made this country
is not tight asses in suits--
788
00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:13,485
no offense--
taking the easy way down,
789
00:46:13,599 --> 00:46:15,648
but guys like me and Mike
who jump.
790
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,125
What we have
791
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,527
is a private placement
in play here.
792
00:46:19,639 --> 00:46:22,483
Already over 50% subscribed.
793
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:24,648
Now, if the numbers
keep coming in good,
794
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,485
which...
they're fucking going to,
795
00:46:27,599 --> 00:46:30,170
the sky is the limit
on this thing.
796
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,690
You don't have to sell us.
We've done the math.
797
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,005
We believe you're sitting on
798
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:34,804
the largest gold find
of the decade.
799
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:38,286
May I speak plainly,
Mr. Wells?
800
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,760
Of course, Brian.
That's the only way to speak.
801
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,166
Our clients are going to want
to see a serious plan
802
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,641
to turn lab results
in a volatile region
803
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,206
into an investment we can all
stake our reputations on.
804
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:50,206
It's not going to be a problem.
805
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,525
No, it's not a problem, per se,
806
00:46:51,639 --> 00:46:54,119
but the fact remains
that neither of you have taken
807
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:55,889
a find of this magnitude
through production.
808
00:46:56,039 --> 00:46:58,168
KENNY (chuckles):
Wait just a minute there, Brian.
809
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,806
We-we found it,
we can dig it up.
810
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,291
- It's not that complicated.
- Actually,
811
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,289
historically, we found
it could be quite complicated,
812
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,128
and we'd like the opportunity
813
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,289
to help you formulate how you
present the operation side.
814
00:47:12,039 --> 00:47:13,804
Wh-what-what exactly
does that mean?
815
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,445
I'd like you both to consider
816
00:47:15,599 --> 00:47:17,090
bringing on
a strategic partner.
817
00:47:17,199 --> 00:47:19,679
Oh.
818
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,847
(glass clanks)
819
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,563
All right.
(clears throat)
820
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:25,411
Have any of you ever
821
00:47:25,519 --> 00:47:27,726
set one of your...
your handmade loafers
822
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,922
down in the hole
in the side of a mountain?
823
00:47:31,039 --> 00:47:32,768
- No.
- No. We have.
824
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,324
Washoe has history.
825
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,726
We've done a fairly thorough
analysis of Washoe,
826
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,844
Mr. Wells, and we feel
like you need strategic help.
827
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,128
No. No way. No.
This is a new day, all right'?
828
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,402
And Indonesia
is goddamn different.
829
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:47,726
We can help you get off
the side of that mountain.
830
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:48,927
I don't need any help
831
00:47:49,039 --> 00:47:51,041
getting off the side
of the goddamn mountain.
832
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:52,844
I can land this plane.
833
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,041
I can!
834
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,766
Wells came and found me.
835
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,643
I was at a low point,
I have to admit.
836
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,400
It happens in this business,
ups and downs.
837
00:48:03,519 --> 00:48:06,648
But he backed me
with his last cent,
838
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,047
and more than that,
he risked his life,
839
00:48:09,159 --> 00:48:10,889
almost lost it, actually.
840
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,731
It was touch and go there
for a bit.
841
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,650
And now we have the bull
by its horns.
842
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,967
KENNY: And, boys,
they're big fucking horns.
843
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:20,530
MIKE:
I've worked with the best,
844
00:48:20,639 --> 00:48:24,007
and I can tell you Kenny Wells
is up there with them.
845
00:48:24,119 --> 00:48:27,123
BRIAN: We're not by any stretch
of the imagination
846
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,527
suggesting at this moment
that anybody take a backseat.
847
00:48:29,639 --> 00:48:31,927
-Just be open to strategic
alliances. -No fucking...
848
00:48:32,039 --> 00:48:33,246
way!
849
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,967
(muffled shouting)
850
00:48:37,079 --> 00:48:38,684
It's a dime out of every one
of my dollars,
851
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,686
not your dollars!
852
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,164
I said no a second ago.
853
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,690
You want to invest?
We got the gold.
854
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,130
-We can talk about it.
-(Mike sighs)
855
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:45,969
Don't need a fucking partner.
I know that.
856
00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:48,447
You know,
there's something about...
857
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:50,960
finding gold...
858
00:48:51,079 --> 00:48:53,400
that is so difficult
to put into words.
859
00:48:56,159 --> 00:48:57,730
It's real difficult.
860
00:48:59,679 --> 00:49:02,126
Taste of it on your tongue.
861
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,719
The feel of it
between your fingers,
862
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,081
it's... it's electric.
863
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:11,327
It's like a drug,
864
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,760
'cause it hooks you.
865
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,043
And it's precisely what you're
missing here in the city.
866
00:49:17,159 --> 00:49:19,400
It's what makes it so hard for
us to have this conversation
867
00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:22,126
because you have never felt it.
868
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:26,809
So I have a proposal for you.
869
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,842
Put together
your institutional players,
870
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,327
the guys who rep
the big money.
871
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,489
Whoever needs to kick
the tires on this thing.
872
00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:38,809
I will take them
on a little trip up the river.
873
00:49:40,639 --> 00:49:43,643
So... it was Acosta
874
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,126
who proposed
the-the junket in Kensana?
875
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,811
Or did you cook that up
together?
876
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,485
KENNY: Oh, Jennings, you're...
you're not getting it.
877
00:49:51,599 --> 00:49:55,445
Look, we-we didn't feel like
we had to cook up anything.
878
00:49:55,559 --> 00:49:57,847
I mean, I had people
coming at me from all sides.
879
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,768
My-my neighbor, Hart Hubbard,
880
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,768
he's a lawn care
professional.
881
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,007
Usually only worried about
Kay's mulberry tree
882
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:05,530
leaning over
the back of his fence,
883
00:50:05,639 --> 00:50:07,880
but now
he's dropping mining terms.
884
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,809
"Hey, Kenny, how's the grade
purity over there at Kensana?
885
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,605
I hear it's great.
How about the core frequency?"
886
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,166
Hart fucking Hubbard.
He mows grass for a living.
887
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,561
-We interviewed Mr. Hubbard.
-What I'm saying is we didn't
888
00:50:18,679 --> 00:50:19,965
think we needed
to cook up anything.
889
00:50:20,119 --> 00:50:21,326
Everybody wanted in.
890
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,284
So it was Acosta who proposed
the banker junket?
891
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,530
Yes.
892
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,728
It was a genius move.
893
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,320
KENNY:
Now, you get outside,
894
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,523
stick close to me
and hang on to your wallets.
895
00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:44,443
(horns honking)
896
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:46,806
(speaks indistinctly)
897
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,842
Come on, come on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
898
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,563
Back, back, back, back, back,
back, back, back, back.
899
00:50:50,679 --> 00:50:52,409
There he is.
900
00:50:52,519 --> 00:50:55,762
Gentlemen, Mike Acosta.
901
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,369
Glen.
902
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,811
Acosta.
903
00:50:58,920 --> 00:50:59,920
-Bobby.
-Acosta.
904
00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:01,371
Jeff Jackson.
905
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,608
If any one of you
wants to turn back,
906
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,085
this is your chance.
907
00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:07,485
What's that?
908
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:09,329
(laughing)
909
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,521
He's just messing with you.
Welcome to lndo, boys.
910
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,000
MIKE:
When we got the hit,
911
00:51:14,119 --> 00:51:16,121
we stepped out
in a radiating pattern
912
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,244
and we kept going until
we had the definitive picture.
913
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,885
We're mapping
the underlying geology.
914
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,561
The cores are cut into
sections, and then crushed.
915
00:51:25,679 --> 00:51:26,885
(metallic clang)
916
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,684
They are then bagged
and sealed.
917
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,690
This cage is guarded 24/7.
918
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,849
Under guard, the samples
are sent down river
919
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,327
to independent labs
in Kalimantan.
920
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,568
If a seal is broken
or damaged in any way,
921
00:51:41,679 --> 00:51:44,762
the lab, by law, has to discard
the entire sample.
922
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,722
Every safeguard
has been put in place
923
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,807
to assure the security
of the process.
924
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,686
Diamond-tipped saw blades,
rock crushers.
925
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,280
Core samples being ripped
from the guts of the Earth.
926
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,289
It all sounds great, but...
927
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,681
...you boys want to see
some gold.
928
00:52:07,039 --> 00:52:09,565
No one's going to believe
this shit.
929
00:52:09,679 --> 00:52:11,284
So, what do you think?
930
00:52:13,199 --> 00:52:14,963
Not sure. What about you?
931
00:52:15,079 --> 00:52:16,605
Acosta seems to know
what he's talking about,
932
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,688
but, uh, I don't know.
933
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,800
Hey. He)’-
934
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,081
Come here, come here.
935
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:25,764
I think I...
I think I got something.
936
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,445
See this?
937
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:43,686
Few more like this,
938
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,007
you can pave Wall Street.
939
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,806

940
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,445
KENNY". When Jackson
pulled that nugget out,
941
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:52,931
we had 'em.

943
00:52:55,119 --> 00:52:58,442
to announce the public offering

948
00:53:09,079 --> 00:53:12,289
We're all going to make
a lot of fucking money!

Waldorf Astoria, ma'am.
951
00:53:21,559 --> 00:53:23,766
We'll get your bags
right upstairs.
952
00:53:44,119 --> 00:53:45,963
Kenny?
953
00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:47,605
Are you here?
954
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,411
Baby?
955
00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:54,248
Where are you?

Ah.

Oh, my goodness.
958
00:54:02,079 --> 00:54:03,206
KENNY:
You surprised?
959
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,764
Yeah.
960
00:54:06,519 --> 00:54:08,204
It's your favorite flower,
right?
961
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:11,847
Babe.
962
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,681
You look beautiful, Kay.
963
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,722
Come here.
964
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,525
I have missed you so much.
965
00:54:20,639 --> 00:54:23,119
You have no idea.
966
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,648
(moaning)
967
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,161
Are these the softest sheets
you've ever felt?
968
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,327
-Yeah, you know,
I think they are. -Yeah.
969
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,250
- You want to get under 'em'?
- Yeah.

KENNY:
Oh, hello, men.
971
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:55,846
Everyone, meet the lovely Kay.
972
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,121
-Brian. -Hi.
-Nice to meet you.
973
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:58,605
- Hollis. Kay.

-Stanton, you know.
-Hey.

The only man in this business
that sweats as much as I do.
977

All right, let's do this, huh?
978

Ah, there he is.

Mike, meet Kay.
981
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,641
Two of my favorite people
in the world.
982
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,411
You know this one stole
my watch to go meet you.
983
00:55:17,519 --> 00:55:18,681
- You stole her watch?
- Oh, no, no, no. -No...
984
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:19,880
- I'm just teasing.
- She's just teasing.
985
00:55:20,039 --> 00:55:21,166
-No, you're not.
-No, she's not.
986
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:22,440
- No, I'm not.
-(laughing)

I didn't know what time it...
I got to go.
988

Washoe Mining
1000
00:56:02,039 --> 00:56:03,610
may be the stock of the year.
1001

REPORTER 2:
On their first day

00:56:08,039 --> 00:56:10,804
turned into
a rocket ship today.

-Hi. Great to meet you.
-Kenny. Mike. Come.

Oh.

No, I'm okay. Thank you.

Good to meet you.

-BOBBY: What's that?
-Take the east coast team

every fucking time.
You know why?
1016
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,407
The west coast team-- to them,
they're playing after midnight.

- Investor relations.
- Mm.

00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,489
Brown, Thomas.
On the team.
1024
00:57:37,639 --> 00:57:39,927
Cheers to that. You got to be
the best-looking one
1025
00:57:40,039 --> 00:57:41,963

of the Hope diamond.

too close,

to let it get away either.

- It's your raccoon.
- Mm.
1032
00:57:54,039 --> 00:57:56,360
You let it run a
multi-billion-dollar company?
1033
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:57,606
What, and lose you as a client
1034
00:57:57,719 --> 00:57:59,369
and half the rest
of my business?
1035
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:00,811
There's risks
and there's risks.

Still, it was
a good fucking day.

Now, who wants
to buy me a drink?

1053
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,088
(laughing)
1054
00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:06,163
-I can see that now.
-Mm.
1055
00:59:08,079 --> 00:59:09,365
-I don't want to talk about it.
-What did...
1056
00:59:09,519 --> 00:59:10,851
I wasn't doing anything.
1057
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,961
I said I don't want
to talk about it!
1058
00:59:13,079 --> 00:59:15,003
Well, what the fuck
should I have done, huh?
1059
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:16,530
Just bend her over the table
right there
1060
00:59:16,639 --> 00:59:17,880
and fucking banged her
in front of everybody?
1061
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,489
You are too drunk
to get it up anyway.
1062
00:59:19,599 --> 00:59:21,681
I'll take that challenge, baby.
1063
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,804
I don't care about you flirting
with Miss Pneumatic 1988.
1064
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,762
You think I haven't seen
that shit before, Kenny?
1065
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,369
She had tiny
little fucking titties.
1066
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:30,766
You don't think
they were real?
1067
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,083
No, none of this is real.
None of it.
1068
00:59:34,199 --> 00:59:35,360
KENNY:
Why are you fucking...
1069
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,083
We made it!
1070
00:59:37,199 --> 00:59:40,090
-Shit.
-Baby, what the fuck?!
1071
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,568
You know what
your problem is, Kay?
1072
00:59:49,199 --> 00:59:52,043
-No. Why don't you tell me.
-You've got no vision.
1073
00:59:52,159 --> 00:59:53,844
Right? Fucking vision.
1074
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,088
Your vision starts right here,
and it goes to right here.
1075
00:59:56,199 --> 00:59:57,610
Right here
is the fucking kitchen sink,
1076
00:59:57,719 --> 00:59:59,563
and right here's
the goddamn parking lot
1077
00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:01,967
at the furniture store.
1078
01:00:02,079 --> 01:00:04,559
-Come on.
-You mean an actual job
1079
01:00:04,679 --> 01:00:06,681
that would support a person
in the place they live?
1080
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,164
You mean that vision?
1081
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:11,559
You know what? Fuck you.
1082
01:00:11,679 --> 01:00:13,967
-Ah, Kay, fuck me.
-Fuck you.
1083
01:00:14,079 --> 01:00:15,286
Fuck you. Fuck...
Wh-wh-what, what?
1084
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,210
Don't you see
what's happening here?
1085
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:19,367
Oh, great. Go...
Yeah, yeah.
1086
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,527
Pack your shit, run back
to your shitty life, huh?
1087
01:00:21,639 --> 01:00:24,119
-You know what?
I like my shitty life. -Christ.
1088
01:00:24,239 --> 01:00:26,367
- It's mine.
- Fucking giving this up.
1089
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,005
You always wanted
a broken bird, didn't you?
1090
01:00:29,119 --> 01:00:30,565
Said the right things,
but in here,
1091
01:00:30,679 --> 01:00:32,842
you never fucking believed
in me, did you?
1092
01:00:35,239 --> 01:00:38,641
You never believed in me,
did you, Kay?
1093
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,445
Hmm? You like me losing,
don't you?
1094
01:00:41,559 --> 01:00:43,449
-How can you even say that?
-It makes you feel comfortable,
1095
01:00:43,559 --> 01:00:45,050
doesn't it?
Does it feel comfortable, Kay?
1096
01:00:45,199 --> 01:00:48,760
These people are using you.
1097
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,485
-They don't care about you.
-I don't fucking...
1098
01:00:51,599 --> 01:00:53,568
(crying): And they certainly
don't believe in you.
1099
01:00:53,679 --> 01:00:55,967
-Yeah, but, Kay, I found gold.
-(crying): Goddamn...
1100
01:00:56,079 --> 01:00:57,240
Now we're winning, babe.
1101
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,327
Would you just let me
have the win?
1102
01:01:01,159 --> 01:01:03,481
We're winning!
1103
01:01:04,719 --> 01:01:06,528
(glass breaking)
1104
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,565
It ever occur to you
that I know what I'm doing?
1105
01:01:11,679 --> 01:01:12,840
I hope you do.
1106
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,449
Huh?
1107
01:01:14,559 --> 01:01:15,527
I do.
1108
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,925
-I love what's in there...
-Mm.
1109
01:01:22,039 --> 01:01:23,849
more than you'll ever know.
1110
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,360
These guys are going
to tear you up.
1111
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,331
Mm.
1112
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,284
Don't ask me to watch
what happens next.
1113
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,561
I know what I'm doing, Kay.
1114
01:01:36,679 --> 01:01:38,523
I know what I'm fucking doing.
1115
01:01:38,639 --> 01:01:39,721
(door slam shut)
1116
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,681
JENNINGS:
What'd you do next, Wells?
1117
01:01:49,519 --> 01:01:51,920
What did I do?
1118
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,291
I rode it.
1119
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,525
I rode it, Jennings.
1120
01:02:10,639 --> 01:02:12,289
(chatter, laughter)
1121
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,289
BARTENDER: Another double.
Seagram's on the rocks.
1122
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,164
Yes, sir.
1123
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:24,280
RACHEL:
And I'll have the same.
1124
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,724
Oh, goddamn.
You don't have to impress me.
1125
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,730
Reminds me of my childhood.
1126
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:33,762
So how is everything
1127
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,327
in the very enchanted world
of Kenny Wells?
1128
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,766
I feel like a million bucks,
1129
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,246
only a few hundred
times better.
1130
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,721
That must be
a very nice feeling.
1131
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,001
Yeah.
It looks like there's a...
1132
01:02:47,119 --> 01:02:50,282
a few other people around here
with a similar feeling.
1133
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,322
Mm, maybe.
1134
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,409
Maybe not.
1135
01:02:55,519 --> 01:02:57,487
(crickets chirping,
water splashing)
1136
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,360
KENNY: How does someone
like yourself end up, uh, here?
1137
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,289
I know Tom.
1138
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:06,639
Tom is a friend.
1139
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,802
- Oh, I bet he is.
-(laughs) Now, now.
1140
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,730
I stay with his cousin,
Timmy, down the lane.
1141
01:03:13,599 --> 01:03:15,125
Timmy's really quite
a character,
1142
01:03:15,239 --> 01:03:16,764
if you get to know him.
1143
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,405
I don't know Timmy.
1144
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,240
I don't really
feel like talking.
1145
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,130
Let's just feel things.
1146
01:03:31,519 --> 01:03:33,362
MAN:
Wells.
1147
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,570
-Kenny Wells?
-KENNY: Uh-huh.
1148
01:03:37,679 --> 01:03:39,204
Mark Hancock.
1149
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,402
Seems I've caught you at a bit
of a disadvantage, Mr. Wells.
1150
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:45,891
Depends on how you look at it.
1151
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,001
Kenny goddamn Wells, Mark.
1152
01:03:48,119 --> 01:03:50,202
This is Rachel.
1153
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:51,242
Oh, I know the lovely Rachel.
1154
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,168
KENNY: You know,
this son of a bitch here,
1155
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,329
he controls more gold than
anybody on the goddamn planet.
1156
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,762
With the possible exception now
of Mr. Wells.
1157
01:04:05,639 --> 01:04:07,369
This is how it happens, huh?
1158
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,967
This is how it happens.
1159
01:04:11,079 --> 01:04:13,525
Goddamn.
1160
01:04:13,639 --> 01:04:16,405
("Temptation"
by New Order plays)
1161
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,289
MARK".
What can I tell you?
1162
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,003
- Kenny, it's a generous offer.
- It's a fucking joke!
1163
01:04:32,119 --> 01:04:33,246
Let's-let's take this...
1164
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,931
This isn't a deal, Brian.
This is a goddamn rape.
1165
01:04:36,039 --> 01:04:38,280
- Listen... listen to me.
- No, no, this is mine!
1166
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,402
It's mine!
-
found it!
1167
01:04:40,559 --> 01:04:42,483
Me and Mike.
We were the ones up to our ass
1168
01:04:42,599 --> 01:04:45,331
in the mud and the shit
and the malaria.
1169
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,880
And this little prick
offers a minority partnership?
1170
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,650
Kenny, let's keep
some perspective here, okay?
1171
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,682
Whenever anybody offers
this amount of money,
1172
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:52,925
it's a good day.
1173
01:04:53,039 --> 01:04:54,405
You may say yes,
you may say no,
1174
01:04:54,519 --> 01:04:56,170
but it's not like anybody's
trying to offend you.
1175
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:57,724
Well, mission
goddamn not accomplished.
1176
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,682
Hancock and Newport Holdings
have the expertise
1177
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,528
and the experience
to bring this home.
1178
01:05:01,639 --> 01:05:03,324
-This was always there
as a contingency. -No, no.
1179
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,362
-You know that.
-No, no, no.
1180
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,686
This is when Washoe Mining
becomes a player,
1181
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,329
right here,
right fucking now.
1182
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,885
Not Mark fucking Hancock
and Newport Holdings.
1183
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,521
I don't even see our name
on here, Brian.
1184
01:05:15,679 --> 01:05:17,170
You took our fucking name...
1185
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,646
you took my name off it.
1186
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,206
But if we take
a step back here,
1187
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,048
wouldn't it not be terrible
1188
01:05:24,159 --> 01:05:26,003
to sit back
and enjoy your success?
1189
01:05:26,119 --> 01:05:27,724
"Wouldn't it not be terrible"?
1190
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,126
What the fuck kind of way
of talking is that, Brian?
1191
01:05:30,239 --> 01:05:31,684
W-W-Wouldn't it not be terrible
1192
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:32,925
if I bend over
and grab my ankles
1193
01:05:33,039 --> 01:05:35,088
so you could fuck me
up the ass?
1194
01:05:35,239 --> 01:05:37,402
You think you can buy me out
and take my name?
1195
01:05:37,519 --> 01:05:39,568
Or just throw Kenny Wells
to the fucking cornfield?
1196
01:05:39,679 --> 01:05:41,648
Fuck you, Brian.
1197
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,286
If we hit pause for a second
1198
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,802
and consider, without emotion,
1199
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,449
I think you'll realize
1200
01:05:49,559 --> 01:05:52,324
that this is one of those
very rare moments
1201
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,807
where, with a stroke of a pen,
no one in your family--
1202
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,967
I'm talking your children's
grandchildren--
1203
01:05:58,079 --> 01:06:01,367
will ever have to worry
about money again.
1204
01:06:25,559 --> 01:06:28,166
You see these hands, Brian?
1205
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,284
These are my father's hands.
1206
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,367
I have scratched and clawed
through the hot earth
1207
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:34,811
with these hands,
1208
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:38,481
and I will bury you
with these hands.
1209
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:45,001
Now, you go tell that silky
sable, Mark Hancock...
1210
01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:47,771
he works for Kenny Wells.
1211
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,644
My fucking d8)’-
1212
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,409
My day!
1213
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,887
(sighs)
1214
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,731
You know,
I almost respect this guy.
1215
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:06,880
JENNINGS:
That was a pretty foolish
1216
01:07:07,039 --> 01:07:08,530
business decision, wasn't it?
1217
01:07:08,639 --> 01:07:11,483
You're a foot away
from living in your car.
1218
01:07:11,599 --> 01:07:15,047
You turned down $300 million?
1219
01:07:15,159 --> 01:07:16,650
Over naming rights?
1220
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:21,849
Yeah, I did.
1221
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,481
Because Kensana would become
a Newport Mine, right?
1222
01:07:28,599 --> 01:07:30,887
And Mark fucking Hancock's
Midas touch continues.
1223
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,331
Me, Kenny Wells,
1224
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,164
the-the lucky bastard
who fell down drunk
1225
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,641
and woke up
in a pile of cash. No.
1226
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,086
It was my dream.
1227
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,329
I dreamed it.
1228
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:52,806
You sell your dream...
1229
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,121
what do you have left?
1230
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,483
(speaking local language)
1231
01:08:38,119 --> 01:08:39,804
Good morning, Stacy.
How are you today?
1232
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,284
-Good.
-How's Ronnie? Good?
1233
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:42,970
-Thank you.
-Okay. Mm. -Kenny.
1234
01:08:43,079 --> 01:08:44,206
Mike's on the line. Come on.
1235
01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:45,890
-Mike, hang on. Kenny...
Kenny's here. -Come on!
1236
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,320
- It's Mike.
It's a fucking shit-storm. -Mm.
1237
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:49,930
Mikey, what's up?
1238
01:08:50,039 --> 01:08:51,087
They're locking us out.
1239
01:08:51,199 --> 01:08:52,485
-They're what?
-They're locking us out!
1240
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:53,646
The military's here.
1241
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:54,886
They're taking over the mine.
1242
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,207
What happened at your meeting
with Hancock?
1243
01:08:57,359 --> 01:08:58,885
What happened
at the meeting, Kenny?!
1244
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,685
Listen, Mike, they-they
were trying to push us out.
1245
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,768
Push us out? Wha-What
do you mean, push us out?
1246
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,007
They took... they took
our names off it, Mike.
1247
01:09:07,159 --> 01:09:09,447
Mine and yours. They took
our fucking names off.
1248
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,005
Aw, you fucking moron!
1249
01:09:11,119 --> 01:09:13,850
They can't... can't just revoke
the-the permit, all right?
1250
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:14,841
They can't just steal it away.
1251
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,081
Kenny, what?
What the fuck is going on?
1252
01:09:16,199 --> 01:09:17,564
MIKE: Of course
they can revoke the permit!
1253
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,488
Suharto can do
whatever the fuck he wants!
1254
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,283
Hey! Hey!
1255
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,681
-Mike!
-Kenny, what's going on?
1256
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,529
-What the fuck is going on?
-Shh!
1257
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,204
(speaking local language)
1258
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,801
- Mike. Mike.
- MIKE: Kenny, we lost the site.
1259
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,206
I told you, man.
1260
01:09:33,319 --> 01:09:35,448
You knew exactly
who we were dealing with.
1261
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,688
These people are killers.
1262
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:39,927
Hancock first among them.
1263
01:09:40,039 --> 01:09:42,327
I told you, Kenny.
1264
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,682
-Now it's gone.
-Uh...
1265
01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:50,128
(takes deep breath)
1266
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,081
KENNY". So it turns out
that in addition
1267
01:09:57,199 --> 01:09:59,282
to having, um,
longstanding ties
1268
01:09:59,399 --> 01:10:00,845
with Suharto...
1269
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,565
Newport Holdings
actually had on its board
1270
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,569
a certain ex-president
of the United States.
1271
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,881
Who was also...
(chuckles softly)
1272
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,445
in one of Suhart0's weddings...
1273
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,045
as a groomsman.
1274
01:10:13,159 --> 01:10:15,082
So you see, that whole time
they're telling me
1275
01:10:15,199 --> 01:10:16,963
how rich my grandkids
are gonna be,
1276
01:10:17,079 --> 01:10:18,411
they got a backup plan.
1277
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,806
They're gonna pick my pocket
and steal it all away.
1278
01:10:37,079 --> 01:10:39,480
TV NEWSMAN: Washoe stock
was off nearly 50 points
1279
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:41,250
at the opening bell
this morning
1280
01:10:41,359 --> 01:10:43,966
on news of the Suharto
government's revocation
1281
01:10:44,079 --> 01:10:46,560
of Washoe's exploration rights.
1282
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,564
President and CEO,
Kenny Wells, has not...
1283
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,166
KENNY: All fucking con men.
They stole it's what they did.
1284
01:10:52,279 --> 01:10:53,690
They goddamn stole it.
1285
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,006
Mm.
1286
01:11:00,279 --> 01:11:01,805
(Kenny coughs)
1287
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,047
You're gonna need
to go home, Kenny.
1288
01:11:04,159 --> 01:11:06,162
Just pour me
a goddamn drink, Roy.
1289
01:11:06,319 --> 01:11:08,287
Go home, Kenny.
1290
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,284
(pounds bartop)
1291
01:11:17,319 --> 01:11:18,480
KAY".
This is us.
1292
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:19,965
We can't get to the phone...
1293
01:11:21,359 --> 01:11:24,125
(vehicles passing by)
1294
01:11:24,239 --> 01:11:25,810
Wrong number.
1295
01:11:30,319 --> 01:11:32,287
(phone ringing)
1296
01:11:34,039 --> 01:11:35,246
KAY:
This is us.
1297
01:11:35,359 --> 01:11:37,203
We can't get to the phone
right now.
1298
01:11:37,319 --> 01:11:38,730
You know what to do.
1299
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:40,364
(beep)
1300
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,248
KENNY:
Hey, hey, Kay.
1301
01:11:43,359 --> 01:11:44,770
It's me. Uh...
1302
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,761
I-I-I-I guess you're not home,
1303
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,041
you know, right now.
1304
01:11:50,199 --> 01:11:53,841
I was...
and I was just calling...
1305
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,884
Honey, I really...
I want to hear your voice.
1306
01:11:57,039 --> 01:11:58,689
(Kenny exhales)
1307
01:12:00,359 --> 01:12:03,125
I s... l-l screwed up, Kay.
1308
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,649
(sighs) I want...
I wanted to build something.
1309
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,445
Something real
that would last...
1310
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,244
last for you and me and...
1311
01:12:15,359 --> 01:12:17,600
(exhales):
for Dad.
1312
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,286
(sighs)
1313
01:12:27,319 --> 01:12:29,162
(crying):
That's all I wanted to do.
1314
01:12:29,319 --> 01:12:30,810
(Kay sighs)
1315
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:32,887
But you were right, you know?
1316
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,889
-(soft, wry chuckle)
-You were right.
1317
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,685
Again.
1318
01:12:40,239 --> 01:12:42,207
I love you, Kay.
1319
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,650
Mm, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna stop now.
1320
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,649
I'm-I'm not gonna call...
1321
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,167
I'm not gonna call you anymore.
1322
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,091
WOMAN:
Oh, my God, is that him?
1323
01:12:56,199 --> 01:12:58,202
MAN:
Yeah, that's Acosta.
1324
01:12:58,319 --> 01:13:00,970
WOMAN:
He looks different in person.
1325
01:13:01,079 --> 01:13:03,650
Isn't he supposed to be
in Indonesia?
1326
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:08,243
Where is he?
1327
01:13:08,399 --> 01:13:10,720
-(soft snoring)
-(beeping over phone)
1328
01:13:17,199 --> 01:13:19,770
MIKE:
Here you are.
1329
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,291
Get up!
1330
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,329
You don't own my fucking
company just 'cause you...
1331
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,043
-Quit fucking kicking me.
-(Mike speaking Spanish)
1332
01:13:26,159 --> 01:13:29,208
I didn't know who it was till
I heard the cocky fucking talk.
1333
01:13:29,319 --> 01:13:31,083
-Ah? (grunts)
-Fucking moron.
1334
01:13:31,199 --> 01:13:33,009
MIKE: Oh, yeah?
You're gonna fight?
1335
01:13:33,119 --> 01:13:34,884
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
Yeah, you want to fight?
1336
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:36,411
Yeah, you want to fight now?
1337
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:38,170
After losing
my fucking company?
1338
01:13:38,279 --> 01:13:40,442
You want to fight now?
Yeah, you want to fight?
1339
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,171
Yeah? Yeah?
(continues indistinctly)
1340
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:47,849
(groans)
1341
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,801
(Kenny sighs)
1342
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,399
(groans)
1343
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,921
You know what they say?
1344
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,287
That you're a drunk.
1345
01:14:01,399 --> 01:14:03,528
A clown.
1346
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:05,881
Out of your league.
1347
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,530
Yeah, well, fuck them.
1348
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,085
Yeah, fuck them.
1349
01:14:12,199 --> 01:14:13,564
You know what? Fuck you, too.
1350
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,966
You think I want to hear
from the fucking golden boy
1351
01:14:16,079 --> 01:14:17,569
standing there
in his golden glow
1352
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,326
telling me how messed up
everything is? Huh?
1353
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,090
No, go fucking back
to your perch
1354
01:14:22,199 --> 01:14:24,122
at the Jakarta Palace, huh?
1355
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:25,969
Huh? You can use
that instinct of yours
1356
01:14:26,079 --> 01:14:28,002
to find some new strike
with some new people.
1357
01:14:28,119 --> 01:14:30,487
ls that what you think?
1358
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:34,046
I know you, man.
You're Mike fucking Acosta.
1359
01:14:34,159 --> 01:14:35,604
(sighs)
1360
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,563
Prick.
1361
01:14:41,039 --> 01:14:42,404
0K8)’-
1362
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:46,560
Let me tell you
what really happened.
1363
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,604
We're in North Sulawesi.
1364
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,087
Monsoon season.
1365
01:14:54,199 --> 01:14:56,088
It's 1980.
1366
01:14:56,199 --> 01:14:57,360
Yeah.
1367
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,211
The famous copper strike.
1368
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,686
Only we was looking
for bauxite.
1369
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:11,047
On my way to...
where I'm planning to drill,
1370
01:15:11,159 --> 01:15:13,127
I get us stuck.
1371
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,121
Five feet of mud.
1372
01:15:17,279 --> 01:15:20,011
We're just sitting in the rain
day after day,
1373
01:15:20,159 --> 01:15:22,127
watching the metal rust.
1374
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,444
What'd you do?
1375
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,448
Under the theory
that it's better
1376
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,641
to do something
than nothing, I...
1377
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,684
reported... this was the spot.
1378
01:15:38,359 --> 01:15:40,521
Nowhere became somewhere.
1379
01:15:44,159 --> 01:15:46,287
The place you got stuck.
1380
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,768
I got lucky.
1381
01:15:55,359 --> 01:15:56,690
(chuckles)
1382
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,041
I fucking love that.
1383
01:16:02,239 --> 01:16:06,722
You went looking for bauxite,
and you found copper.
1384
01:16:08,199 --> 01:16:12,488
I went looking for gold and...
1385
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,681
found a friend.
1386
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:19,809
That is
the single hokiest thing
1387
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,320
I've ever heard in my life.
1388
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,443
$0, you got a plan?
1389
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,328
Don't you?
1390
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:41,849
KENNY".
So, get this.
1391
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,247
Turns out Suharto had a son,
1392
01:16:45,359 --> 01:16:47,488
his youngest, Darmadi,
1393
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,363
AKA Danny.
1394
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,529
Bit of a screw-up,
real problem for the old man.
1395
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,882
Mm, safe to say
we understood each other.
1396
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,640
So, Suharto had been trying
to get Danny set up for years,
1397
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,326
all right, but everything
Danny touched turned to shit.
1398
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,204
Now, {figure
if we can bring Danny on board
1399
01:17:05,319 --> 01:17:07,322
as a partner,
maybe he could get Daddy
1400
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,046
to change his mind
and swing things back our way.
1401
01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:12,730
Now, it was a Hail Mary
from our own one-yard line,
1402
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,569
but it was all we had.
1403
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,125
But it also didn't hurt
1404
01:17:16,239 --> 01:17:18,003
that Danny
had been regularly ignored
1405
01:17:18,119 --> 01:17:20,645
by a certain ex-president
of the United States
1406
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,046

at his father's third wedding
1407
01:17:23,199 --> 01:17:27,250
and also happened to sit on
the board at Newport Holdings.
1408
01:17:27,359 --> 01:17:29,930
So, this guy goes
to a Cadillac dealership.
1409
01:17:30,079 --> 01:17:31,569
Right? Dealer comes out
and he says, "Sir,
1410
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,125

about buying a Cadillac?"
1411
01:17:33,239 --> 01:17:35,242

1571
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,451
- And then it's not.
-(laughter)
1572
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,529
-Right? It's not.
-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.
1573
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,405
And he's standing
on the edge of the desert,
1574
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,010
staring a...
1575
01:28:39,119 --> 01:28:42,328
new day's sunrise
right in the eye, and...
1576
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,806
and he hears that little voice,
1577
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,327
a little voice that says...
1578
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:51,568
"Go ahead.
1579
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,926
Keep walking."
1580
01:28:55,199 --> 01:28:56,725
And the sun gets
higher and higher,
1581
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:58,841
and it's shining down on him,
and he's really hot,
1582
01:28:58,960 --> 01:28:59,926
and he doesn't have
1583
01:29:00,039 --> 01:29:01,279
any water to drink,
1584
01:29:01,399 --> 01:29:03,880
and everybody that came
with him wants to turn back,
1585
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:05,729
and eventually,
they do turn back,
1586
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,729
and there he is.
1587
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,002
And he's all alone.
1588
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:22,646
With the belief...
1589
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,159

MAN: The image on the left
is the type of gold
1635
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:10,604
found in the Washoe samples.
This is river gold.
1636

Notice how the edges
are rounded,

by the erosion of water.
1638

is flake gold,

01:32:17,239 --> 01:32:18,765
the sample on the right,
1640
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:22,850
pulled directly from the rock,
rough-edged and angular.
1641
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:25,167
That's a pretty darn big detail
to overlook,
1642

(chuckles):
wouldn't you say?
1643
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,850
It's a big detail, but...
you have to understand,
1644
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,930
everything else about
the Washoe samples was right.
1645
01:32:33,039 --> 01:32:35,122
But the gold was wrong.
1646
01:32:35,239 --> 01:32:38,163

it literally means when someone
1647

sprinkles gold dust
into a rock sample,
1648
01:32:41,079 --> 01:32:43,845

1649
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,884

Oldest trick in the book?
1651
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:50,807
And yet major
mining corporations,
1652
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:52,609
investment banks, the auditors,
1653
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:54,085
everyone was fooled.
1654
01:32:54,199 --> 01:32:56,407
We weren't fooled.
1655
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:58,408
We just didn't look.
1656
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:00,123
By all appearances,
1657
01:33:00,239 --> 01:33:01,765
Washoe's security protocol
1658
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:03,244
were ironclad.
1659
01:33:03,359 --> 01:33:05,328
But... when the person
1660
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:08,046
administering the security
is fraudulent,
1661
01:33:08,159 --> 01:33:10,845
the whole system goes down.

01:33:16,359 --> 01:33:18,248

01:33:18,399 --> 01:33:20,448
wh-wh-where-where he was going?
1664
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,130

your bill, sir. -I'll be down.
1743
01:37:52,159 --> 01:37:53,524
We'll settle it up.
1744
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,926
("Gold" by Iggy Pop plays)
1745
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,643
(exhales)
1746
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:00,841
KENNY:
Do I need a lawyer?
1747
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,405
JENNINGS:
Do you need a lawyer?
1748
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:08,682
Right answer.
1749
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:14,284
(Kenny sniffs)
1750
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:22,688
How'd you meet Michael Acosta?
1751
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:29,243
The, uh, first time
or the second time?
1752
01:39:29,399 --> 01:39:31,766
How'd you meet him, Wells?
1753
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,644
It was April... of '88.
1754
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:38,409
(sighs)
1755
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:40,726
Yeah, I was
on the balls of my ass.
1756
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,524
Scrambling. (chuckles)
1757
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:46,802
Not exactly uncharted waters
for me, but...
1758
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:49,287
I was in deep.
1759
01:39:53,399 --> 01:39:55,561
(siren wailing in distance)
1760
01:39:57,359 --> 01:39:59,010
JENNINGS:
I think it's pretty unlikely
1761
01:39:59,119 --> 01:40:01,122
we'll ever see
your partner again.
1762
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:06,159
-What are you talking about?
-A lot of very powerful people
1763
01:40:06,279 --> 01:40:08,203
are very angry
at Michael Acosta.
1764
01:40:12,199 --> 01:40:13,689
Well, what happened?
1765
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:14,881
What happened?
1766
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,685
$17 billion of value
disappeared overnight.
1767
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:19,086
Mike Acosta
waves good-bye to you
1768
01:40:19,239 --> 01:40:21,322
in the ballroom downstairs
and goes back to Indonesia
1769
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:23,841
on a jet chartered
with Washoe funds.
1770
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,725
And then he does
a disappearing act.
1771
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:28,887
But this you know.
1772
01:40:29,039 --> 01:40:32,408
First, he's locked out
of the assay lab in Kalimantan
1773
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:34,921
by the minister
of the interior.
1774
01:40:35,039 --> 01:40:36,849
-So he goes back to Jakarta...
-Mr. Acosta,
1775
01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:38,371
please walk with with me.
1776
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:40,368
JENNINGS: ...where he's
immediately detained
1777
01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:42,448
by the Indonesian military.
1778
01:40:44,079 --> 01:40:45,444
And they hold him
1779
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:47,681
while they try to reproduce
for themselves
1780
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,121
the lab results claimed
by Washoe.
1781
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:54,604
Which, of course,
they are unable to do.
1782
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,371
Now, at this point,
1783
01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:00,484
either he's being transferred
to an actual prison, or...
1784
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:02,408
he's bribed
one of the officers.
1785
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:03,567
Either way,
1786
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,283
he's on a military helicopter.
1787
01:41:07,079 --> 01:41:10,162
They fly north, loosely
tracking the Kensana River.
1788
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:01,810
A thousand feet up,
over the Kensana...
1789
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:04,490
Mike Acosta takes a header.
1790
01:42:15,039 --> 01:42:17,805
No way.
1791
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,604
No fucking way.
1792
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,529
He either faked it,
1793
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:24,801
or he paid to have
this-this bullshit story
1794
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:26,444
you're telling put out.
1795
01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:30,804
$164 million goes a long way
in Indonesia.
1796
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:33,445
They found a body.
1797
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:47,163
(snorting)
1798
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,240
JENNINGS:
Hands and face were eaten away,
1799
01:42:51,359 --> 01:42:54,283
probably by wild pigs.
1800
01:42:54,399 --> 01:42:56,970
KENNY:
Sure this is him?
1801
01:42:57,079 --> 01:42:59,400
I'm not sure of anything...
1802
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:04,207
except Mike Acosta traded
water filters for river gold.
1803
01:43:04,359 --> 01:43:05,930
But now
the Indonesian government
1804
01:43:06,039 --> 01:43:07,326
have gone unusually quiet
1805
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:09,090
on the subject.
1806
01:43:09,239 --> 01:43:10,844
There was an autopsy
1807
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:12,962
corroborating the identity
of the body.
1808
01:43:14,279 --> 01:43:16,850
They then sealed the report...
1809
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,608
...cremated the remains.
1810
01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:25,168
Interestingly,
Danny Suharto, your friend...
1811
01:43:25,279 --> 01:43:28,170
dumped a lot of stock as well.
1812
01:43:28,279 --> 01:43:31,123
So the Suhartos
are even richer now.
1813
01:43:31,239 --> 01:43:34,561
Mike Acosta is ostensibly
dead and buried, and...
1814
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,001
$164 million is still missing.
1815
01:43:37,119 --> 01:43:40,488
And the only question...
1816
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,806
I'm left with is...
1817
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:45,445
whether or not
you were in on it.
1818
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,801
(softly):
I...
1819
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:53,242
-I can't believe it.
-Can't believe what?
1820
01:43:53,359 --> 01:43:56,921
No, look, th-this business...
1821
01:43:57,079 --> 01:43:59,650
had written Mike off
years ago, all right?
1822
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:01,171
They called his theories crap.
1823
01:44:01,279 --> 01:44:03,203
But...
1824
01:44:03,319 --> 01:44:05,162
there's no way.
1825
01:44:05,279 --> 01:44:07,203
He wouldn't,
he fucking couldn't
1826
01:44:07,319 --> 01:44:09,448
let this be
the last word on him.
1827
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:13,167
- No fucking way. -You talking
about Acosta or yourself?
1828
01:44:13,279 --> 01:44:16,250
(deep, trembling breath)
1829
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:22,890
(Pants)
1830
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:26,527
All right, look. We-we-we were
running out of money, right?
1831
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,166
And I was practically dying
from malaria.
1832
01:44:29,319 --> 01:44:31,970
I gave Mike
the last dollar to my name.
1833
01:44:32,079 --> 01:44:34,765
And I made him promise me
something, I said, "Mike...
1834
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:38,327
don't let me die out here
for nothing."
1835
01:44:43,319 --> 01:44:46,323
A few weeks later,
I came to, and...
1836
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:48,408
Mike was there.
1837
01:44:50,159 --> 01:44:51,889
(chuckles)
1838
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,082
He said, "We got...
1839
01:44:54,199 --> 01:44:56,362
"we got a strike, Kenny.
1840
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:00,006
We got a goddamn gold mine."
1841
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:09,447
And th-there's no way that
he set out to swindle anyone.
1842
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:12,211
He just needed
to buy a little more time.
1843
01:45:17,319 --> 01:45:19,368
And he didn't want
to let me down.
1844
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:23,326
-MAN: You're fuckin‘ lyin‘.
-Levine, sit down!
1845
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:25,203
You want to talk
about the truth?
1846
01:45:25,319 --> 01:45:26,890
All right,
let's talk about the truth.
1847
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,162
The only truth here is,
when everybody's getting rich,
1848
01:45:29,279 --> 01:45:32,090
nobody gives a shit
about the truth.
1849
01:45:32,199 --> 01:45:35,283
Come the fuck on.
All anyone had to do was look,
1850
01:45:35,399 --> 01:45:37,128
open their eyes.
1851
01:45:37,239 --> 01:45:40,323
Man, the-the gold was wrong,
the find was too good.
1852
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:43,011
There were red flags
everywhere.
1853
01:45:43,119 --> 01:45:44,770
Why did no one look?
1854
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,847
'Cause no one wanted
to fucking know.
1855
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:48,849
We all wanted to believe.
1856
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,882
Me, you,
fucking everybody. Why?
1857
01:45:52,359 --> 01:45:55,648
Because we were all making
so much fucking money, man.
1858
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:58,001
That's the truth.
1859
01:45:58,159 --> 01:46:00,845
That's been going on
for fucking centuries!
1860
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:05,682
(laughing):
Oh, fuck...
1861
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:11,291
Were you aware Mike Acosta
was salting
1862
01:46:11,399 --> 01:46:13,801
-the Washoe core samples?
- No.
1863
01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:15,364
You had no knowledge
1864
01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:18,323
Mike Acosta
was perpetrating a fraud?
1865
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:20,806
-No.
-You were not in collusion
1866
01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:23,810
with Mike Acosta
on the Kensana gold strike?
1867
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:27,845
No, man, I fucking thought
I won the lottery.
1868
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:31,362
Did you profit
from the Kensana fraud?
1869
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:36,126
-No. -Did anyone
close to you profit?
1870
01:46:37,840 --> 01:46:40,411
My friends lost money.
1871
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:42,408
My neighbors lost money.
1872
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,568
Me...
1873
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,251
I lost everything.
1874
01:46:47,359 --> 01:46:50,011
(Kenny takes swig)
1875
01:46:50,119 --> 01:46:52,600
You know
what the truth of it is?
1876
01:46:54,039 --> 01:46:56,202
I never really cared
about money.
1877
01:46:57,279 --> 01:46:59,805
I cared about gold.
1878
01:46:59,920 --> 01:47:02,127
And it's different, Jennings.
1879
01:47:02,239 --> 01:47:04,287
It's fucking different.
1880
01:47:07,079 --> 01:47:09,890
(glass clinks, liquid pours)
1881
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:11,729
(sets bottle down)
1882
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:21,841
(exhales)
1883
01:47:23,319 --> 01:47:26,688
Interview terminated
with Kenny Wells...
1884
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,724
6:45 a.m.,
1885
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:33,407
October 17, 1988.
1886
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:34,805
Interview conducted by myself,
1887
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:37,127
Paul K. Jennings,
special agent.
1888
01:47:37,239 --> 01:47:40,403
Also present,
agents Levine and Banks,
1889

Federal Bureau
of Investigation,
1890
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:44,328
district of Nevada, Reno.
1891
01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:58,728
Mr. Kenny Wells...
1892
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:01,524
(bell tolling in distance)
1893
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:03,926
...you are free to go.
1894
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:08,489
(whispers):
Well, lookee there.
1895
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:10,841
Somebody believes me.
1896
01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:14,961
I wouldn't go overboard.
1897
01:48:15,079 --> 01:48:18,561
In fact,
I wouldn't leave the state,
1898
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,326
or start buying new stuff
or chartering
1899
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:22,930
-any more jets.
-I gotta sneak by the guy
1900
01:48:23,039 --> 01:48:24,804
at the front desk 'cause
I can't pay the hotel bill.
1901
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,810
I can't be a party
to that information.
1902
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:31,167
BANKS:
Good luck, Mr. Wells.
1903
01:48:31,279 --> 01:48:34,250
LEVINE:
We'll be keeping an eye on you.
1904
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:37,524
(door opens)
1905
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,081
What are you gonna do now,
Wells?
1906
01:48:49,079 --> 01:48:51,923
(birds chirping)
1907
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,961
(vehicles rumbling by
in distance)
1908
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:13,045

1909
01:49:16,199 --> 01:49:18,600

(bird squawking)
1912
01:50:03,319 --> 01:50:04,845
Hey, Kenny.
1913
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:06,449
L-I'm still worried
about that mulberry
1914
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:08,961
-over the back fence.
-Yeah. I know, Hart.
1915
01:50:09,119 --> 01:50:10,804
It's good to see you.
1916
01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:12,809
Good to see you, too, Kenny.
1917
01:50:24,039 --> 01:50:26,007
(rings doorbell)
1918
01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:45,561
Can I come in?
1919
01:50:56,199 --> 01:50:58,167
(door squeaks)
1920
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,046
-You want coffee?
-Yeah, sure.
1921
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:32,207
This place looks great.
1922
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,006
So do you, Kay.
1923
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:44,329
I made curtains.
1924
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:47,046
-(coffee pouring)
-From that fabric.
1925
01:51:47,159 --> 01:51:48,490
Hmm.
1926
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:54,326
Some stuff came for you,
some mail.
1927
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,689
(faucet running)
1928
01:52:43,399 --> 01:52:44,810
KAY:
What?
1929
01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:47,525
What is it?
1930
01:52:53,399 --> 01:52:55,720
("Gold" by Iggy Pop plays)
1931
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:08,807
(music ends)
