00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:46.355
We were a real business.

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.909
That's what
you got to understand.

00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.390
We were goddamn industry...

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.673
...the kind that's the backbone
of this country.

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:00.755
Don't take my word for it.

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.456
Go in the parking lot
and look on the license

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:04.789
of that brand-new
Mercedes 450 of yours.

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.554
Hey. Are you seeing this?

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:09.999
That's Furnace Creek.

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:11.656
This, uh, picture's
over 100 years old.

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:12.954
Hmm.

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:14.936
And you see this
handsome devil right here?

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:16.552
Uh-huh.

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:18.233
He's a Wells.

00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:22.148
Okay, so, um, I know
you're a mining company,

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.078
- Mm-hmm.
- but I pictured...

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:26.880
Well, I don't know
what I pictured exactly.

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.592
I guess little... little carts

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:30.836
going down little...
little train tracks.

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.800
- Right.
- I mean, what is it that you do here?

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:34.711
Wh-what we do
is we look for the metals

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.034
and the minerals,
all right?

00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:37.912
There's exploration
over there,

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.271
there's engineering
and there's production, right?

00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.755
We're prospectors.

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.518
Not yet?

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.039
- Okay, how about this?
- Yeah...

00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:51.675
Um... so let's say that this...

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.068
is the Earth.

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.200
My handbag?

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:55.912
Your handbag is Mother Earth

00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.598
with all of her
deep-filled mysteries

00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.936
and goodies on the inside that
she does not want to give up.

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:01.678
Me, I'm man,

00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:03.870
and I'm damn curious about
what she's got inside.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.037
So, I send down what's
called an exploratory drill.

00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:10.038
I go down inside
and dig around,

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:11.718
come across something.

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.195
I pull it out. It's nickel.

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.750
Now, nickel's actually
75% copper and 25% nickel,

00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:19.176
but there's a whole lot
of nickel in the world,

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:21.634
and the world needs nickels.

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:23.830
I'm back down there getting
my second core sample,

00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.269
and I happen to pull up, say...

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.879
silver.

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:29.696
Now, the thing is, when you
find a little bit of this,

00:02:29.720 --> 00:02:31.416
that means there could be
a whole hell of a lot of it.

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:32.953
So we start raising money.

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.469
We raise enough money
to open a mine

00:02:35.600 --> 00:02:37.272
like the one in that picture
right here.

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.551
Then...

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:42.756
we dig it all up.

00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:47.158
Now, sometimes...
not that often, but sometimes...

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.272
the prospecting gods are having
a party at the Pearly Gates,

00:02:50.440 --> 00:02:53.318
and we get real, real,
really lucky.

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:55.152
And we dig down in there,

00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:58.153
then we find
a little metal called...

00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:00.311
gold.

00:03:04.320 --> 00:03:06.356
- Yes.
- Kenny.

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:07.913
You like it?

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.752
I love you.

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.158
I love you.

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.157
Old man wants to see you.

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.352
Afternoon, Marianne.

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:23.336
Hey, Pop.
Heard you want to see me.

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:24.554
Yeah, Kenny.

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:27.109
Get your ass in here,
would you?

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.593
Would you, uh, run through this

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:30.597
Pershing County strategy
again for me?

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:32.870
Right, um...

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.355
It's about this southern part
of this Newmont property,

00:03:35.480 --> 00:03:36.754
right here.

00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:39.189
Now, Newmont just started
drilling 140 meters

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.096
and they're finding
a whole lot of magnesite.

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.873
If you remember, we still own
the option on Relief Canyon,

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.036
which is next door.
We're not finding squat, why?

00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:47.758
We're not drilling
deep enough.

00:03:47.880 --> 00:03:49.598
Let's get back in there.
Drill deeper.

00:03:49.720 --> 00:03:52.712
Go to 140 if we need to,
and we got a damn good chance

00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.671
of getting Relief
back in production.

00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.677
What about Jerritt Canyon?

00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.631
Well, that's your baby.

00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.030
You know a hell of a lot
more about it than I do.

00:04:01.160 --> 00:04:02.752
But the assays look promising.

00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:04.472
Could be fucking huge.

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:11.357
I want you to run point
on this.

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.670
All in.

00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.870
Scale it up.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.831
Make it yours.

00:04:17.960 --> 00:04:20.428
Yes, sir.

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.035
Clive Coleman's on board.

00:04:25.200 --> 00:04:26.713
Those boys will ride with you.

00:04:34.200 --> 00:04:36.430
God, we work hard
in this business.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.391
Sometimes for nothing.

00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.555
I wake up every morning.
I tell myself,

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.399
"I don't have to do this.

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:47.351
I get to do this."

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:53.389
And then it's just blue skies.

00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:05.033
Blue skies, baby.

00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.229
My old man...

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.316
a legend.

00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:18.230
That was the last time
I saw him alive.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.238
A little eye-opener, Kenny?

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.590
God bless you, Roy.

00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.632
Here we are.

00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:01.115
- Boys, to the mother lode.
- Mother lode.

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.231
Today be the day.

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.316
The geological reports on this

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:06.475
are highly encouraging.

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.068
We are taking a very
aggressive approach.

00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:10.200
Prospectus?
Of course.

00:06:10.280 --> 00:06:12.056
I can have my secretary
send you one right out.

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:14.230
But I got to tell you,
this offering,

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.032
it's already over-subscribed.

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.096
You know, we can always try
and get you in on the next one.

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.714
No, no.
Yea, I understand.

00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:23.074
Shit.

00:06:23.200 --> 00:06:25.953
Watching the time?
It's 11:15, Kenny.

00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:28.435
Oh, Christ.

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.237
Where would I be without you?

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.596
Mr. Wells?

00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.438
- Yes.
- Lloyd Stanton.

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.232
- Hello, Lloyd. Kenny Wells.
- Hi.

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:46.816
This is my colleague,
Henry Andrews.

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:47.960
- Pleased to meet you.
- Hey.

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.230
- Come on back.
- Absolutely.

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.715
Thank you.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.958
So, what can we do for ya?

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:00.957
Well, why don't we wait
for Clive?

00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:03.310
Oh, uh, Mr. Coleman
got tied up in a meeting.

00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.833
No offense, boys,

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:07.076
but I'm supposed to be meeting
with Clive.

00:07:07.200 --> 00:07:08.997
None taken, but if you were
supposed to be

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.190
meeting with Clive, you
would be meeting with Clive.

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.117
All right.
Here is what we have.

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.232
We are developing some
very exciting properties

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.113
that are spot-on
for your investor profile.

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:26.950
Low buy-in
with a sizable upside.

00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:28.496
- Mm-hmm.
- And the beautiful part is

00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:32.229
they are all only 12 to 18
months and cash positive.

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:33.554
- Manitoba?
- Yeah.

00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.473
We picked up an option
on a skip claim at an auction.

00:07:36.640 --> 00:07:38.153
Right, but it's
a 90-day option.

00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:39.599
Yes, the window is narrow,

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:41.040
but if you have a look
at the geo,

00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:42.496
you'll see a very promising
shale formation

00:07:42.520 --> 00:07:44.829
that hasn't been tapped yet.

00:07:47.640 --> 00:07:49.790
Mr. Wells,
Washoe has a practical value

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.114
hovering just above zero.

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:53.032
Your debt load is untenable,

00:07:53.200 --> 00:07:55.953
and you bring us, uh, raw land
with no infrastructure,

00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.350
- no fungible assets.
- I mean,

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.176
you can't possibly expect us
to underwrite this.

00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:02.430
Yeah. I'm talking about
a small offering here.

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.160
As I said in the beginning,
a low buy-in.

00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:06.350
Now, if you'll take
a second look at the geo,

00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.516
you will see what I see.

00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:11.029
And that's money.

00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.037
Not our money.

00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:43.793
See, the... the thing is

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.155
that the whole economy
had turned,

00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:48.589
particularly for commodities.

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:52.912
Close of the day,

00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:55.395
Washoe was trading
at four cents a share

00:08:55.520 --> 00:08:57.670
if it was trading at all.

00:08:57.800 --> 00:08:59.916
Washoe Mining. There's this
great little land lease.

00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:03.396
'Cause this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity.

00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:05.391
Right. Washoe. Washoe Mining.

00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:07.994
You know, carrying the...
carrying on the business.

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.554
You know, there's still
minerals out there.

00:09:10.680 --> 00:09:11.920
We just got to find them,
right?

00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.016
Yeah, all right, all right.

00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:14.520
Thank... thank you
for your time. Bye.

00:09:17.400 --> 00:09:18.594
I could...

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.233
12 to 18 months...

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.271
cash positive.

00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:24.789
A deal...

00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:26.035
Goddamn, I am calling you.

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:27.639
Fuck whatever time it is.

00:09:29.800 --> 00:09:32.678
Washoe Mining,

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.592
the company that my grandfather

00:09:34.760 --> 00:09:37.957
literally scratched out of
the side of a Nevada mountain,

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:42.153
the company that my father
made into a real player,

00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:45.317
was almost gone.

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.795
Almost.

00:09:51.880 --> 00:09:55.156
I'd already, uh, lost my house,

00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.392
and I was, uh...
I was living with Kay.

00:09:58.520 --> 00:10:02.035
And, uh, we-we were about
to lose that, too.

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.678
I had a half gallon
of Seagram's in me.

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.434
Shit, most people would have
been dead, but not me. No.

00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.317
Instead...

00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.954
I had a dream.

00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.438
I mean, I mean,
I mean, literally, I...

00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:34.393
I had a dream.

00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:44.196
Indonesia.

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.117
Gold.

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.595
Now, I'd been to Indonesia
five or six years earlier.

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.551
I still had a little money
in my pocket.

00:10:54.680 --> 00:10:56.318
You know,
Indonesia was booming,

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.795
and I was looking
for a way to get in.

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.872
Back then, if you wanted

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.576
to put a hole in the ground
in Indonesia,

00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.717
you wanted Mike Acosta
telling you where to dig.

00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.195
He's what they called
a River Walker.

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.992
Yeah, a real hands-on
geologist.

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:15.120
The real deal.

00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:18.314
Oxford College, MIT.

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:19.714
His mom was Venezuelan.

00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.070
His dad was English.

00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:25.480
Now, you see,
he'd just discovered

00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:28.154
the largest copper strike
in Southeast Asia,

00:11:28.280 --> 00:11:32.512
and everybody wanted
a piece of him, including me.

00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:35.313
You got the Nazca Plate,
the Pacific Plate.

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.715
Juan de Fuca,
North American, South American.

00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:39.598
Aleutian, Marianas, Tonga.

00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:42.479
The plates rubbing
and grinding up on each other.

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.272
Six trillion kilobytes
of pressure.

00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:48.154
10,000 degrees Celsius
kicking up geothermic hot spots

00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:50.157
all along the Pacific rim.

00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:54.398
He called it the, uh,
the Ring of Fire theory.

00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:56.511
And he definitely had
everyone's attention.

00:11:56.640 --> 00:11:59.154
That's how I found the copper.

00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.596
And that's why
I'll find the gold.

00:12:17.520 --> 00:12:18.999
You're up early.

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:20.758
Hey.

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.558
You want to talk
about yesterday.

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.837
No. I gotta go right now, babe.
I've gotta plan. Gotta plan.

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.190
- Oh, wait, Kenny, Kenny, listen.
- Hmm?

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.197
Carl had an idea.

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.595
- American Home Carl?
- Uh-huh.

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.280
He said he could, uh,
get you on for a while,

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.136
- if you wanted.
- Right, right, right, right.

00:12:39.160 --> 00:12:41.913
Yeah, I don't think that's
going to be necessary, babe.

00:12:42.040 --> 00:12:43.678
Yeah, but it'd
just be temporary

00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:45.392
till the market turns.

00:12:45.520 --> 00:12:48.637
We could fool around
in the warehouse.

00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:50.113
You know, I tell you...

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.216
When I get done with this trip,
all right?

00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:54.480
Shouldn't take
more than a week.

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:56.000
- All right.
- What? Where you going?

00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.389
- If it doesn't work out, I'll give Carl a call.
- Baby...

00:12:58.520 --> 00:13:00.216
- I'll call you from the airport.
- Wait. Wait, wait.

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.559
Kenny!

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:05.070
It was like
I was being called, you know?

00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.229
It was the gold calling.

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.112
That may sound crazy to you,

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.151
but if you...
if you knew that feeling,

00:13:13.280 --> 00:13:15.396
well, you'd know.

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.197
Kenny Wells.
I'm down here in the, uh,

00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.760
the lobby of the, uh,
Jakarta Palace.

00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.432
Uh... Yeah, listen,

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.079
we must've got
the times mixed up.

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.111
Um... Let me know.
I'm down here.

00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.357
I'm in the brown suit,
I'm on the green couch.

00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:02.720
I'm the good-looking guy, okay?

00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:04.256
All right.
We'll make it happen, cap'n.

00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:05.474
All right.

00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:11.588
Wells?

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.517
Mike.

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.869
Good to see you again.

00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:22.237
I know a local place,
a bit more color.

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.476
What, they're not pouring here?

00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:27.791
Good.

00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:30.798
So,

00:14:30.920 --> 00:14:33.514
what are we talking about
here, Wells?

00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:36.998
Ring of Fire, Mike.

00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.599
Ring of Fire.

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.678
You're playing
my greatest hits.

00:14:41.800 --> 00:14:44.030
Fire's gone out of that one.

00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:45.912
Well, what are you
talking about?

00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:49.874
It's the opinion of my
fellow esteemed geologists,

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.434
that the whole thing...
I'm quoting here...

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:54.596
is a crock of shit.

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.756
Well, what the hell, you know?

00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:58.632
You called it wrong.

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.717
What are you going to do?

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.513
There's no right or wrong
in this business.

00:15:04.640 --> 00:15:06.915
There's only hits and misses.

00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:09.634
There's gold here.

00:15:15.760 --> 00:15:18.354
I'm glad you said that, Mike.

00:15:18.520 --> 00:15:20.795
I truly am, 'cause I...

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.998
...believe you.

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.395
I hate to dash your hopes,
but don't you think

00:15:26.520 --> 00:15:28.576
others have come along
before you with the same thought

00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.513
and, from the looks of it,
deeper pockets?

00:15:32.640 --> 00:15:35.313
Ring of Fire is real, Mike.

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:36.793
I knew it
the first time I heard.

00:15:36.920 --> 00:15:38.600
It struck me like
a fucking lightning bolt,

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.312
and I never forgot it.

00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.476
Go ahead, laugh.
I get that all the time.

00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.068
But hear this.

00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.395
I don't just believe.

00:15:47.520 --> 00:15:48.953
I know.

00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.150
- No, you don't.
- I've seen it.

00:15:51.280 --> 00:15:54.397
You don't understand.

00:15:54.520 --> 00:15:57.717
- No one will back me.
- I will.

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.956
You tell me where
you want to dig, Mikey,

00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.958
and I'll make goddamn sure
the bills are paid.

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.832
No offense, Wells, but...

00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:08.679
you look like you had to rob
someone just to get here, man.

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:11.633
You know nothing about me.

00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:13.955
You know it's still out there.

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.270
I know that.

00:16:17.400 --> 00:16:20.278
I can see it in your eyes.
You still believe.

00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:25.470
I get it, and I was born on
the side of the mountain, too.

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.216
My-my father scratched
everything he ever owned

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.593
out of a fucking rock.
All right?

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.976
Died with dirt
under his fingernails,

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.672
and I intend to do the same.

00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.558
This business...

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.312
wrote me off years ago.

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.736
All right, maybe you're
not running the hottest

00:16:36.760 --> 00:16:37.976
in your career
right now either,

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.194
so let's prove them wrong.

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:40.469
You and me.

00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:41.856
Let's prove them all
fucking wrong.

00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:43.154
And you know why?

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.669
You do know why,
because the Ring of Fire

00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:49.951
is right, Mike.
You called it.

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.799
You just haven't found it yet.

00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.035
Tell me I'm crazy.

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.555
I'll be on the next plane.

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.596
You're crazy.

00:17:16.320 --> 00:17:17.799
You have a hat, Wells?

00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.349
Yeah, I got a hat.

00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:24.919
Why, we going somewhere?

00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:27.679
Up river.

00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:30.189
What river is that, Mike?

00:17:30.360 --> 00:17:31.998
You're late.

00:17:32.120 --> 00:17:33.917
The only one that matters.

00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.877
The Dayak have been
panning this river

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:03.468
for over 5,000 years.

00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.029
That's how it got its name,

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.196
Daya Kensana.

00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:09.912
What's it mean?

00:18:10.040 --> 00:18:11.792
"Daya" means "upstream."

00:18:12.800 --> 00:18:14.791
"Kensana" means "gold."

00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.269
You got to be shitting me.

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.953
Wells.

00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:41.229
Wells.

00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:42.918
We're here.

00:18:43.040 --> 00:18:46.237
So, listen, the Dayak
are warrior people,

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:48.874
probably best known for ngayau,

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:50.592
headhunting.

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.154
But it doesn't happen much
anymore.

00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:55.157
They might be thinking
we're some traders

00:18:55.320 --> 00:18:56.435
or someone's mother-in-law.

00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:17.789
How long?

00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:21.435
This jungle
will... will test you.

00:19:22.800 --> 00:19:26.839
It will hold you up, weigh you,

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:28.712
and decide your worth
within an ounce.

00:19:28.840 --> 00:19:30.558
Do you always talk
like this, Mike?

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.194
Like a book on tape?

00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:35.629
I suppose I do.

00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:40.513
Where are we going?

00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.312
Up.

00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:57.275
Take a look.

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.312
Oh, my God.

00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.876
It's my dream.

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:16.877
There have been
a few folks up here

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.797
tapping over the years,

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.753
but have all focused on the
foothills far to the south.

00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.236
But what interests me
is the other way.

00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:27.396
That small depression,

00:20:27.520 --> 00:20:31.229
like a giant left a footprint
walking away.

00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:33.874
Something happened
there, Wells.

00:20:34.040 --> 00:20:37.874
Something hot and angry.

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.594
That's where we'll find
the tasty bits.

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.473
My dream...

00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:50.276
...is out there.

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.516
Damn right it is.

00:20:55.520 --> 00:20:57.556
Look, if it's the big boys

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.440
that you're thinking about
investing in us...

00:20:59.520 --> 00:21:01.112
you know,
the Harvard endowment

00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:03.714
or some...
some pension fund, right?

00:21:03.840 --> 00:21:06.308
I am not your guy.

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.954
But the little guys, right,

00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:10.712
guys that you don't even
know about,

00:21:10.840 --> 00:21:12.512
the, uh, the hustlers,
the scrappers,

00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:14.437
the make-it-happen
motherfuckers,

00:21:14.560 --> 00:21:16.471
those are my guys.

00:21:17.840 --> 00:21:20.479
How much do we need?

00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:24.309
Seven. Seven-fifty to start.

00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.829
Okay.

00:21:27.800 --> 00:21:30.360
How much do we need?

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:32.550
It isn't just a lease.

00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:34.352
We're in lndonesia.

00:21:34.520 --> 00:21:38.672
That means getting a permit
and lining pockets.

00:21:38.800 --> 00:21:40.597
Equipment.
You don't just do this

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.200
with a couple of shovels
and a pickax.

00:21:42.360 --> 00:21:43.918
I'll get the money.

00:21:44.040 --> 00:21:45.758
Whatever it takes.

00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.269
- What's that?
- It's a contract.

00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.879
Read it.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.956
Sign it.

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.956
Keep it.

00:22:20.560 --> 00:22:23.199
I could feel it in my bones.

00:22:23.360 --> 00:22:26.079
I was selling something
that I believed in.

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:30.634
20-K minimum buy-in, right,

00:22:30.760 --> 00:22:32.616
and the shares are fucking
flying off the shelf.

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.880
I mean, no risk,
no gain, right?

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.428
No, 'cause it's coming in
right now.

00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:38.278
No, Acosta. Michael Acosta.

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:39.616
It's the largest
copper strike in history,

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.073
and that's the guy
that we got.

00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:42.976
Kay, get those shoes shined
for dancing, baby.

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.216
We don't even have
the exploration permits.

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:46.595
What are they selling?

00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:48.239
What are we selling?

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.997
Mikey, we're selling the story.

00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:54.918
And right now,
the story is you.

00:22:55.040 --> 00:22:57.280
Speaking of which, what the fuck
are you doing right now?

00:22:57.360 --> 00:22:59.920
I'm down in Kupang City
looking at coring equipment.

00:23:00.040 --> 00:23:02.918
Acosta's in Kupang City
looking at coring equipment.

00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:04.598
He's in Kupang City
as we speak.

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.551
It-it's a fucking...

00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:08.416
Kupang City. We're getting
the coring equipment...

00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:10.112
You're magic, Mike.
You're fucking magic.

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:22.715
You there, Mike?

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:26.236
Two hundred
and sixty-seven thousand

00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:28.396
four hundred and thirty-four...

00:23:28.520 --> 00:23:30.272
dollars.

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.834
That's not exactly the number
I had in mind, Wells.

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.155
Well, look, I may be able
to borrow a little bit

00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:37.077
against it, but, you know...

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:38.918
No, you know what?
Truth, Mike?

00:23:39.040 --> 00:23:40.314
Th-that's it for now.

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.233
Th-that's it.
Can you make it work? Hmm?

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.154
I can make anything work.

00:23:46.280 --> 00:23:49.033
You work out of a bar, Wells?

00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:52.515
Keeping a lid on expenses,
Mike.

00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:54.790
Making the dollar holler.

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:58.478
We're in!

00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:57.949
Record player. That's classy.

00:24:58.080 --> 00:24:59.672
Am I paying for that, Mikey?

00:24:59.800 --> 00:25:01.518
Six-man crews,

00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.791
12-hour shifts
around the clock.

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.559
Tomorrow we'll start looking
at our core samples.

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:09.159
Then we'll send
the most promising

00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:11.748
down river to the assay lab.

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:13.552
The mother lode, Mike.

00:25:15.040 --> 00:25:16.996
You're out there, baby.

00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.436
The man that invented
the hamburger was smart, Mike.

00:26:03.560 --> 00:26:06.074
The man who invented
the cheeseburger,

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:07.838
now, that's the genius.

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.719
Don't ask where
the meat came from. Hmm?

00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:14.919
Have you ever read
Christopher Columbus' journals?

00:26:15.040 --> 00:26:16.837
Of course not.

00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.599
In his petition
to the queen of Spain,

00:26:19.760 --> 00:26:21.478
he promised the conversion

00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:26.395
to her holy faith
of a great number of peoples.

00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:31.429
And he went on
and mentioned God 26 times.

00:26:31.560 --> 00:26:35.030
Gold, on the other hand,

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:39.199
he mentioned 114 times.

00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:40.833
Smart dago.

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:43.030
I've been wanting
to ask you something, Wells.

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:44.679
Fire away, Mike.

00:26:44.800 --> 00:26:47.109
What's the meaning of
the tattoo on your arm?

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:48.878
Oh, it's a bird.

00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:54.194
It's from a poem I read
when I was a kid.

00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:56.470
Bird with no feet...

00:26:56.600 --> 00:26:58.431
sleeps in the wind.

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.158
Assay!

00:27:14.280 --> 00:27:16.350
Assay! Assay!

00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:37.718
Mike, Mike!

00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.872
Hey. These things, they look
worse every time we get one.

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.736
Do you remember what
I told you about patience?

00:27:42.760 --> 00:27:44.696
Yeah, you-you remember
what I told you about money?

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.869
- Yeah.
- Huh?

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.816
- You said that it wasn't a problem.
- Well, it...

00:27:47.840 --> 00:27:49.398
it's a fucking problem now!

00:28:37.360 --> 00:28:38.429
Hey!

00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:42.280
Hey!

00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:43.674
Hey...

00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:44.676
Hey, wait!

00:28:44.800 --> 00:28:45.800
Stay! Stay! Stay! Stay!

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.440
Hey!

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:51.833
Stay...

00:28:53.840 --> 00:28:55.717
Hey! Stay.

00:28:55.840 --> 00:28:57.114
Stay!

00:29:05.560 --> 00:29:07.551
On top of everything else,

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:10.996
I... I got a bad case
of malaria,

00:29:11.120 --> 00:29:13.554
which kills like something
like a million people a year,

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:15.079
something like that.

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.272
Suddenly, I was on the list.

00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:29.788
Maybe... maybe we were
pushing them too hard.

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:32.912
Maybe we should just
take it easy, you know?

00:29:33.080 --> 00:29:34.513
Cut them in.

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.995
You know,
give them some ownership.

00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:41.477
Maybe they'll come back,
you know?

00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:43.591
Let them know that they
got something at the end,

00:29:43.760 --> 00:29:45.432
you know,
when it all works out.

00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:51.109
Give them a piece of the pie,
you know?

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:52.309
Get up.

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:54.670
Come on, get up.

00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:00.719
I'm freezing, Mike.

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:16.710
Don't let me die
and have nothing, okay?

00:30:19.560 --> 00:30:21.118
Get some rest now.

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:56.592
I'm pulling the plug.

00:31:59.600 --> 00:32:01.318
No.

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:04.278
No, no, no, no, no.

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:06.271
Don't pull the plug, Mike.

00:32:07.800 --> 00:32:10.075
No, no.
You can't do that, Mikey.

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.192
Let's get you
out of here, Wells.

00:32:13.320 --> 00:32:15.072
What's the plan, Mikey?

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:16.992
Hmm?

00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:20.755
Now, I know you got
a plan, Mike, hmm?

00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.269
I know you got a plan.

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.232
What's the plan, hmm?

00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:30.480
What's the plan?

00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.194
They need clean water.

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:37.719
If we get filter systems
up here,

00:32:37.840 --> 00:32:39.956
I think they might come back.

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.788
I got about $1,800
on this Visa right there.

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:02.912
Close to 500
on this Diner's Club.

00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:11.515
Use it all, hmm?

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:13.949
Use it all, Mikey.

00:33:47.360 --> 00:33:49.954
Damned if he didn't go

00:33:50.080 --> 00:33:51.593
to every single place

00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.075
that every one
of our workers lived.

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:56.395
Streams that had no name.

00:33:56.520 --> 00:33:59.432
All feeding
the great Kensana River.

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:03.150
Whoa!

00:34:13.560 --> 00:34:14.834
But you know what?

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:16.632
The workers came back.

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:22.678
I spent the next few weeks
in a malarial haze.

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.870
Should've been dead.

00:34:25.040 --> 00:34:28.396
But Mike kept it all going.

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.436
What day is it?

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:12.399
No idea.

00:35:17.560 --> 00:35:19.516
- Month?
- August.

00:35:21.720 --> 00:35:23.472
You been sitting there
this whole time?

00:35:23.640 --> 00:35:25.596
Let's not get carried away.

00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.672
What'd the report say?
What's the news?

00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:37.757
We pulled 17 more cores.

00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:41.636
What?

00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.479
- No good?
- No good.

00:35:44.600 --> 00:35:45.953
Mm.

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:49.638
More in the vicinity of great.

00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.396
Fuck you, Mike.
Don't mess with me, man.

00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.434
Eighth of an ounce per ton.

00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:13.837
Eighth... eighth of
an ounce per what?

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:16.030
Eighth of an ounce per ton.

00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.751
What... what are you...
what are you saying, Mike?

00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.235
We got a strike in.

00:36:26.600 --> 00:36:27.953
We got a gold mine?

00:36:29.520 --> 00:36:31.715
- We got a gold mine?
- We got a gold mine.

00:36:36.680 --> 00:36:39.433
We got a gold mine, Mike!
We got a gold mine, Mike!

00:36:39.560 --> 00:36:41.869
- We got a gold mine.
- We got a goddamn gold mine!

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.195
We got a gold mine!

00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.993
We got a goddamn gold mine!

00:36:47.120 --> 00:36:48.519
We got a goddamn...

00:36:48.680 --> 00:36:50.079
Gold mine!

00:36:50.200 --> 00:36:51.679
We got a gold mine!

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:53.016
I knew it, I knew it,

00:36:53.040 --> 00:36:55.634
I knew it, I knew it,
I knew it.

00:36:57.240 --> 00:37:00.630
We got a goddamn gold mine!

00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:02.239
Fuck you, mosquitoes!

00:37:04.040 --> 00:37:06.031
That moment...

00:37:06.200 --> 00:37:09.556
there's no way I could possibly
describe the feeling.

00:37:09.680 --> 00:37:11.557
It's amazing
how a little gold dust

00:37:11.680 --> 00:37:13.830
can just change everything.

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:17.470
Now, for better or worse,
the ride had begun,

00:37:17.600 --> 00:37:19.556
and what a goddamn ride.

00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:23.235
Okay, okay.

00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:24.509
Oh, thank God.

00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:28.749
- To the best goddamn team in the business.
- Fucking-A.

00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:30.040
You're a stand-up guy, Kenny.

00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:32.674
- Sharing the wealth.
- Crazy, huh?

00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:33.800
To the mother lode.

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:35.592
The mother lode.

00:37:46.200 --> 00:37:47.758
All right, baby.
Do me a favor.

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:49.313
Close your eyes, will ya?

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.431
- All right.
- Cover them with your hands.

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:54.472
- Keep 'em closed.
- Okay.

00:37:56.640 --> 00:37:58.949
- I got you. I got you. I got you.
- Oh. Okay.

00:38:01.040 --> 00:38:05.716
One, two, three.

00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:12.752
It's gonna be our place.

00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.553
Away from it all, above it all,
just like we always wanted.

00:38:15.680 --> 00:38:17.033
You like it?

00:38:17.160 --> 00:38:18.718
- Huh?
- Yes, of... Yes.

00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:22.753
Okay, look... the house...
right here, all right?

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.519
The kitchen, facing there.
The great room over here.

00:38:25.640 --> 00:38:27.471
- Two fireplaces.
- No...

00:38:27.600 --> 00:38:28.669
Can we afford this?

00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.677
Almost, baby. Almost.
We're almost there.

00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.880
All right, look at this.
Couple bedrooms on that end.

00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:34.632
- Couple bedrooms on that end.
- Okay.

00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:36.671
Look at this playground
for the kids, huh?

00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.028
How many kids
you want to have?

00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:45.359
Kitchen has to stay over here.

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:46.959
We gotta put it over here

00:38:47.080 --> 00:38:48.400
- to get the morning light.
- Yes!

00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:49.896
And a second kitchen
over on this side.

00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.036
A third one across the creek.

00:38:52.160 --> 00:38:54.037
A fourth one
up there with the elk.

00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:14.516
- Kenny, Kenny.
- Mm?

00:39:14.640 --> 00:39:15.914
This is Walt Kealer.

00:39:16.080 --> 00:39:17.832
- He publishes Gold Digger magazine.
- Mm.

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.991
We reach
half a million subscribers,

00:39:20.120 --> 00:39:21.519
and they'd all love to know

00:39:21.640 --> 00:39:23.400
what you got cooking
over there in lndonesia.

00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:25.391
If you have a minute,
I'll buy you a drink.

00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:29.311
He's all yours, Walt.

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:35.320
Hell, I read
Gold Digger magazine.

00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.317
Come on over.

00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:39.456
They say you bring this in,
you'll get the Golden Pickaxe.

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:41.296
- Aw, shut up.
- What do you say about that?

00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:44.517
I'd say you
probably just jinxed it.

00:39:44.640 --> 00:39:47.677
- How many ounces you guessing?
- Hmm.

00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:50.633
Millions, Walt.
Absolutely millions.

00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:51.954
Placer mining?

00:39:52.080 --> 00:39:54.594
No. Hard rock.
This is varsity ball.

00:39:54.720 --> 00:39:56.199
How's the infrastructure?

00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:57.912
Building it
from the ground up.

00:40:01.680 --> 00:40:03.033
Any message
you'd like to give

00:40:03.160 --> 00:40:05.390
to the readers
of Gold Digger magazine?

00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:14.158
The last card you turn over
is the only one that matters.

00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.078
- Kenny, it's good to see you.
- Good morning, Beverly.

00:40:17.200 --> 00:40:19.111
Clive, how are you?

00:40:19.240 --> 00:40:21.595
- There he is.
- Good to see you, sir.

00:40:21.720 --> 00:40:23.676
- It's good to see you, son.
- Mm-hmm.

00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:26.519
You know, your father and I,

00:40:26.640 --> 00:40:28.790
we started together
in this business.

00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:31.434
Hell, I mean,
he put me in the business.

00:40:31.560 --> 00:40:33.198
I don't have to tell you that.

00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:36.676
He always spoke very highly
of you, Clive.

00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:38.631
He's one of the best men
I ever knew.

00:40:39.720 --> 00:40:40.914
- Yeah.
- Now!

00:40:41.080 --> 00:40:43.116
You have gone
from four to 23 cents

00:40:43.240 --> 00:40:45.356
on your first assay results.

00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:48.438
And you pulled in two more
to confirm those findings?

00:40:48.560 --> 00:40:50.437
Three more.

00:40:50.560 --> 00:40:51.675
- Three more?
- Mm-hmm.

00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.068
Well, that's fantastic.

00:40:53.200 --> 00:40:56.112
Well, I would like
to underwrite

00:40:56.240 --> 00:40:59.437
a private placement
of Washoe stock.

00:40:59.600 --> 00:41:01.079
And I believe that we can raise

00:41:01.200 --> 00:41:03.316
anywhere between
$8 million and $10 million.

00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:04.708
Well, capital is definitely

00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:06.558
at the top of our agenda
right now.

00:41:06.680 --> 00:41:08.079
Well, yes, it is.

00:41:08.200 --> 00:41:10.794
And a lot of people are going
to want to make this deal,

00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:12.273
but history is on our side.

00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:13.674
Mm-hmm.

00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:15.416
But I just wish you'd
brought this to me sooner.

00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:18.000
- I could have helped you from the get-go.
- Hey.

00:41:19.520 --> 00:41:21.715
- Well, here we are.
- Here we are.

00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:23.239
Lloyd...

00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:25.590
top that off for me,
will you?

00:41:25.720 --> 00:41:29.918
Straight black
with a spicer chaser.

00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:52.316
Mr. Wells, uh, coffee.

00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:53.759
There we are, Lloyd.
Thank you.

00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:55.996
Stanton, Mr. Wells has agreed

00:41:56.120 --> 00:41:59.829
to give us his business
on one condition.

00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:04.189
Lloyd, I want you

00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:06.390
to personally handle
my account.

00:42:06.520 --> 00:42:08.158
I-I need you to be

00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:09.793
available to me 24/7,

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:14.317
365, as you will be riding
shotgun in my jockstrap.

00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:17.159
Absolutely. Yes. Thank you.

00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:18.536
Well, let's quit
standing around here

00:42:18.560 --> 00:42:19.993
and go make
some goddamn money, huh?

00:42:20.120 --> 00:42:21.314
That sounds good to me.

00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.672
Kenny? Kenny?

00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:27.597
Kenny, did you read
the last report?

00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:31.353
Kenny, did you read
the last report?

00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:32.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:35.753
No, I'm looking at them
right now. Holy shit!

00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.474
Holy shit is right,
my friend.

00:42:43.720 --> 00:42:45.358
No, it's unbelievable.

00:42:46.600 --> 00:42:47.874
Holy shit.

00:42:48.040 --> 00:42:49.917
Bobby, I can hear your wife

00:42:50.040 --> 00:42:51.268
smiling from here.

00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:52.879
Right back where you belong,
Kenny.

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:55.389
Yeah, there's a lot of ghosts
in this building, boys.

00:42:55.520 --> 00:42:57.750
Oh, nice work, Todd!

00:42:57.880 --> 00:42:59.791
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

00:43:23.520 --> 00:43:24.839
All right, men.

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:27.110
Now, this stock is going
to start cooking.

00:43:27.240 --> 00:43:28.798
Make sure you put
a little bit away.

00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.480
Sell some. Just the long way.
Just in case.

00:43:31.600 --> 00:43:32.874
- Especially you.
- What?

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:34.200
- Put a little bit away.
- I...

00:43:34.240 --> 00:43:35.416
For the first time
in your life,

00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:36.953
think rainy day, Bobby, okay?

00:43:37.080 --> 00:43:38.399
- Of-of course. Of course.
- Hey.

00:43:38.520 --> 00:43:39.919
- What?
- Okay?

00:43:40.040 --> 00:43:42.315
- Okay.
- Okay.

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:56.358
Oh, we're going to be
so fucking rich.

00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.238
At least look like
you're working, man.

00:44:18.680 --> 00:44:21.513
Yeah?

00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:27.479
What do you got?

00:44:27.640 --> 00:44:29.392
Wildcatters, basically.

00:44:29.560 --> 00:44:31.994
This Mike Acosta
has had some success. Copper.

00:44:32.120 --> 00:44:34.395
Got taken over
by Freeport Mac.

00:44:34.520 --> 00:44:37.353
- It's all in there.
- Yeah. I've heard of Acosta.

00:44:39.680 --> 00:44:41.955
- I like this.
- But I think we start

00:44:42.080 --> 00:44:44.355
with the good news,
which is that we are, uh,

00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:47.916
50% allocated and, uh,
we want to set aside, uh,

00:44:48.080 --> 00:44:49.832
30 of the remaining 50
for you boys...

00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.235
There's more food here.
Don't drink through lunch.

00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:53.560
All right?

00:44:53.640 --> 00:44:55.596
Or just eat something as well.

00:44:55.720 --> 00:44:57.438
- Hey, Kay!
- Phone!

00:44:57.560 --> 00:45:00.677
- What?
- Phone, please.

00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:02.800
- That one. Thank you.
- You want me to answer it?

00:45:05.080 --> 00:45:06.672
Hello.

00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.473
Uh, Washoe Mining.
How may I direct your call?

00:45:09.640 --> 00:45:11.949
- Hi. Uh, Kenneth Wells, please.
- Please hold.

00:45:12.080 --> 00:45:14.036
Kenny, you got a call!

00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:18.392
- Thank you, dear.
- Love you, baby.

00:45:18.520 --> 00:45:19.396
All right.

00:45:19.520 --> 00:45:20.635
Kenny Wells.

00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:24.469
This is Brian Woolf at
Brown, Thomas in New York.

00:45:24.600 --> 00:45:26.636
I'm with the minerals
and oil group.

00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:28.193
No shit.

00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:33.988
Uh-huh.

00:45:35.080 --> 00:45:36.559
Uh-huh.

00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:39.513
Well, that sounds
outstanding, Brian.

00:45:39.640 --> 00:45:41.073
And let me tell you something.

00:45:41.200 --> 00:45:42.792
I'm looking forward to it.

00:45:43.640 --> 00:45:44.959
All right.

00:45:53.640 --> 00:45:55.870
They're fucking flying me out.

00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:57.416
They're fucking flying me out.

00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.919
Come on!

00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:04.831
Yeah, the way I see it,

00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:08.555
what banks do... who knows?

00:46:08.680 --> 00:46:11.956
But what made this country
is not tight asses in suits...

00:46:12.120 --> 00:46:13.576
no offense...
taking the easy way down,

00:46:13.600 --> 00:46:15.636
but guys like me and Mike
who jump.

00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:17.113
What we have

00:46:17.240 --> 00:46:19.515
is a private placement
in play here.

00:46:19.640 --> 00:46:22.473
Already over 50% subscribed.

00:46:22.600 --> 00:46:24.636
Now, if the numbers
keep coming in good,

00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:27.473
which...
they're fucking going to,

00:46:27.600 --> 00:46:30.160
the sky is the limit
on this thing.

00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:31.776
You don't have to sell us.
We've done the math.

00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:32.994
We believe you're sitting on

00:46:33.120 --> 00:46:34.792
the largest gold find
of the decade.

00:46:36.080 --> 00:46:38.275
May I speak plainly,
Mr. Wells?

00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:40.749
Of course, Brian.
That's the only way to speak.

00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:43.155
Our clients are going to want
to see a serious plan

00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:46.630
to turn lab results
in a volatile region

00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:49.194
into an investment we can all
stake our reputations on.

00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:50.196
It's not going to be a problem.

00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:51.560
No, it's not a problem, per se,

00:46:51.640 --> 00:46:54.108
but the fact remains
that neither of you have taken

00:46:54.240 --> 00:46:55.960
a find of this magnitude
through production.

00:46:56.040 --> 00:46:58.156
Wait just a minute there, Brian.

00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:00.794
We-we found it,
we can dig it up.

00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:02.376
- It's not that complicated.
- Actually,

00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:04.376
historically, we found
it could be quite complicated,

00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:06.118
and we'd like the opportunity

00:47:06.240 --> 00:47:09.277
to help you formulate how you
present the operation side.

00:47:12.040 --> 00:47:13.792
Wh-what-what exactly
does that mean?

00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:15.433
I'd like you both to consider

00:47:15.600 --> 00:47:17.079
bringing on
a strategic partner.

00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:19.668
Oh.

00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:22.552
All right.

00:47:22.680 --> 00:47:25.399
Have any of you ever

00:47:25.520 --> 00:47:27.715
set one of your...
your handmade loafers

00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:30.912
down in the hole
in the side of a mountain?

00:47:31.040 --> 00:47:32.758
- No.
- No. We have.

00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:34.313
Washoe has history.

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:36.715
We've done a fairly thorough
analysis of Washoe,

00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:39.832
Mr. Wells, and we feel
like you need strategic help.

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:43.117
No. No way. No.
This is a new day, all right?

00:47:43.240 --> 00:47:45.390
And Indonesia
is goddamn different.

00:47:45.520 --> 00:47:47.715
We can help you get off
the side of that mountain.

00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:48.915
I don't need any help

00:47:49.040 --> 00:47:51.031
getting off the side
of the goddamn mountain.

00:47:51.160 --> 00:47:52.832
I can land this plane.

00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:54.029
I can!

00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:57.754
Wells came and found me.

00:47:57.880 --> 00:47:59.632
I was at a low point,
I have to admit.

00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:03.389
It happens in this business,
ups and downs.

00:48:03.520 --> 00:48:06.637
But he backed me
with his last cent,

00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:09.035
and more than that,
he risked his life,

00:48:09.160 --> 00:48:10.878
almost lost it, actually.

00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:13.719
It was touch and go there
for a bit.

00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:16.638
And now we have the bull
by its horns.

00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:18.955
And, boys,
they're big fucking horns.

00:48:19.120 --> 00:48:20.519
I've worked with the best,

00:48:20.640 --> 00:48:23.996
and I can tell you Kenny Wells
is up there with them.

00:48:24.120 --> 00:48:27.112
We're not by any stretch
of the imagination

00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:29.515
suggesting at this moment
that anybody take a backseat.

00:48:29.640 --> 00:48:31.915
- Just be open to strategic alliances.
- No fucking...

00:48:32.040 --> 00:48:33.234
way!

00:48:37.080 --> 00:48:38.760
It's a dime out of every one
of my dollars,

00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:39.676
not your dollars!

00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:41.153
I said no a second ago.

00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:42.680
You want to invest?
We got the gold.

00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:44.216
We can talk about it.

00:48:44.240 --> 00:48:45.958
Don't need a fucking partner.
I know that.

00:48:46.080 --> 00:48:48.435
You know,
there's something about...

00:48:48.560 --> 00:48:50.949
finding gold...

00:48:51.080 --> 00:48:53.389
that is so difficult
to put into words.

00:48:56.160 --> 00:48:57.718
It's real difficult.

00:48:59.680 --> 00:49:02.114
Taste of it on your tongue.

00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:04.708
The feel of it
between your fingers,

00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.070
it's... it's electric.

00:49:09.120 --> 00:49:11.315
It's like a drug,

00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:13.749
'cause it hooks you.

00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:17.031
And it's precisely what you're
missing here in the city.

00:49:17.160 --> 00:49:19.480
It's what makes it so hard for
us to have this conversation

00:49:19.520 --> 00:49:22.114
because you have never felt it.

00:49:23.600 --> 00:49:26.797
So I have a proposal for you.

00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:28.831
Put together
your institutional players,

00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:32.316
the guys who rep
the big money.

00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:35.477
Whoever needs to kick
the tires on this thing.

00:49:35.600 --> 00:49:38.797
I will take them
on a little trip up the river.

00:49:40.640 --> 00:49:43.632
So... it was Acosta

00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:46.115
who proposed
the-the junket in Kensana?

00:49:46.240 --> 00:49:48.800
Or did you cook that up
together?

00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:51.474
Oh, Jennings, you're...
you're not getting it.

00:49:51.600 --> 00:49:55.434
Look, we-we didn't feel like
we had to cook up anything.

00:49:55.560 --> 00:49:57.835
I mean, I had people
coming at me from all sides.

00:49:57.960 --> 00:49:59.757
My-my neighbor, Hart Hubbard,

00:49:59.880 --> 00:50:01.757
he's a lawn care
professional.

00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:03.996
Usually only worried about
Kay's mulberry tree

00:50:04.120 --> 00:50:05.519
leaning over
the back of his fence,

00:50:05.640 --> 00:50:07.870
but now
he's dropping mining terms.

00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:10.798
"Hey, Kenny, how's the grade
purity over there at Kensana?

00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:13.593
I hear it's great.
How about the core frequency?"

00:50:13.720 --> 00:50:16.154
Hart fucking Hubbard.
He mows grass for a living.

00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.656
- We interviewed Mr. Hubbard.
- What I'm saying is we didn't

00:50:18.680 --> 00:50:20.080
think we needed
to cook up anything.

00:50:20.120 --> 00:50:21.314
Everybody wanted in.

00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.273
So it was Acosta who proposed
the banker junket?

00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:32.518
Yes.

00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:36.717
It was a genius move.

00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.308
Now, you get outside,

00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:42.512
stick close to me
and hang on to your wallets.

00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:48.831
Come on, come on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:50.656
Back, back, back, back, back,
back, back, back, back.

00:50:50.680 --> 00:50:52.398
There he is.

00:50:52.520 --> 00:50:55.751
Gentlemen, Mike Acosta.

00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:57.359
Glen.

00:50:57.480 --> 00:50:58.799
Acosta.

00:50:58.920 --> 00:50:59.920
- Bobby.
- Acosta.

00:51:00.040 --> 00:51:01.359
Jeff Jackson.

00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:03.596
If any one of you
wants to turn back,

00:51:03.720 --> 00:51:05.073
this is your chance.

00:51:06.200 --> 00:51:07.474
What's that?

00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:11.510
He's just messing with you.
Welcome to Indo, boys.

00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:13.988
When we got the hit,

00:51:14.120 --> 00:51:16.111
we stepped out
in a radiating pattern

00:51:16.240 --> 00:51:19.232
and we kept going until
we had the definitive picture.

00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:21.874
We're mapping
the underlying geology.

00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.549
The cores are cut into
sections, and then crushed.

00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:29.673
They are then bagged
and sealed.

00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:33.679
This cage is guarded 24/7.

00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:36.837
Under guard, the samples
are sent down river

00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:39.315
to independent labs
in Kalimantan.

00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.556
If a seal is broken
or damaged in any way,

00:51:41.680 --> 00:51:44.752
the lab, by law, has to discard
the entire sample.

00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:46.711
Every safeguard
has been put in place

00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:48.796
to assure the security
of the process.

00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:52.674
Diamond-tipped saw blades,
rock crushers.

00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:55.268
Core samples being ripped
from the guts of the Earth.

00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:57.277
It all sounds great, but...

00:51:59.440 --> 00:52:01.670
...you boys want to see
some gold.

00:52:07.040 --> 00:52:09.554
No one's going to believe
this shit.

00:52:09.680 --> 00:52:11.272
So, what do you think?

00:52:13.200 --> 00:52:14.952
Not sure. What about you?

00:52:15.080 --> 00:52:16.696
Acosta seems to know
what he's talking about,

00:52:16.720 --> 00:52:18.676
but, uh, I don't know.

00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:22.789
Hey. Hey.

00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:24.069
Come here, come here.

00:52:24.240 --> 00:52:25.753
I think I...
I think I got something.

00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:41.435
See this?

00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:43.674
Few more like this,

00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:45.995
you can pave Wall Street.

00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:51.576
When Jackson
pulled that nugget out,

00:52:51.600 --> 00:52:52.919
we had 'em.

00:52:53.040 --> 00:52:54.996
Brown, Thomas is proud

00:52:55.120 --> 00:52:58.430
to announce the public offering
of 27 million shares

00:52:58.560 --> 00:53:00.790
of class A common stock

00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:03.673
and the initial listing
of Washoe Mining

00:53:03.800 --> 00:53:05.916
on the New York Stock Exchange!

00:53:09.080 --> 00:53:12.277
We're all going to make
a lot of fucking money!

00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:19.720
Welcome to the
Waldorf Astoria, ma'am.

00:53:21.560 --> 00:53:23.755
We'll get your bags
right upstairs.

00:53:44.120 --> 00:53:45.951
Kenny?

00:53:46.080 --> 00:53:47.593
Are you here?

00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:52.399
Baby?

00:53:52.520 --> 00:53:54.238
Where are you?

00:53:58.600 --> 00:53:59.600
Ah.

00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:01.955
Oh, my goodness.

00:54:02.080 --> 00:54:03.195
You surprised?

00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:04.753
Yeah.

00:54:06.520 --> 00:54:08.192
It's your favorite flower,
right?

00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:11.880
Babe.

00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:15.669
You look beautiful, Kay.

00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:17.711
Come here.

00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:20.513
I have missed you so much.

00:54:20.640 --> 00:54:23.108
You have no idea.

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:32.150
Are these the softest sheets
you've ever felt?

00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:34.316
- Yeah, you know, I think they are.
- Yeah.

00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.238
- You want to get under 'em?
- Yeah.

00:54:53.120 --> 00:54:54.599
Oh, hello, men.

00:54:54.720 --> 00:54:55.920
Everyone, meet the lovely Kay.

00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:57.216
- Brian. - Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

00:54:57.240 --> 00:54:58.593
- Hollis. Kay.
- Hi.

00:54:58.720 --> 00:54:59.920
- Pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.

00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.319
- Stanton, you know.
- Hey.

00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:04.199
The only man in this business
that sweats as much as I do.

00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:06.316
All right, let's do this, huh?

00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:08.158
Ah, there he is.

00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:09.878
Mike Acosta, the one and only.

00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:12.195
Mike, meet Kay.

00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:14.629
Two of my favorite people
in the world.

00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:17.399
You know this one stole
my watch to go meet you.

00:55:17.520 --> 00:55:18.776
- You stole her watch?
- Oh, no, no, no. - No...

00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:20.016
- I'm just teasing.
- She's just teasing.

00:55:20.040 --> 00:55:21.256
- No, you're not.
- No, she's not.

00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:22.429
No, I'm not.

00:55:22.560 --> 00:55:24.551
I didn't know what time it...
I got to go.

00:55:24.680 --> 00:55:26.830
It's so good to meet you, Mike.

00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:29.120
- You must be very proud.
- Never doubted for a second.

00:55:33.040 --> 00:55:35.235
Here we go!
Five!

00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:37.271
Four! Three!

00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:39.914
Two! One!

00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:43.992
Yeah... baby!

00:55:44.120 --> 00:55:46.111
I'm ringing the bell, baby!

00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:00.678
In the story we've
been following very closely,

00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:01.915
Washoe Mining

00:56:02.040 --> 00:56:03.598
may be the stock of the year.

00:56:03.720 --> 00:56:04.914
On their first day

00:56:05.040 --> 00:56:07.918
on the New York Stock Exchange,
Washoe Mining

00:56:08.040 --> 00:56:10.793
turned into
a rocket ship today.

00:56:16.120 --> 00:56:18.918
- Hi. Great to meet you.
- Kenny. Mike. Come.

00:56:23.720 --> 00:56:25.472
Oh.

00:56:25.600 --> 00:56:26.874
No, I'm okay. Thank you.

00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:29.309
This and the money
are in the genes.

00:56:39.040 --> 00:56:40.720
How are you? Kenny Wells.
Good to meet you.

00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:56.956
True fucking story.

00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:00.391
Who at this table wants
to know the secret

00:57:00.560 --> 00:57:02.312
to winning bets
at pro football?

00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:04.216
- What's that?
- Take the east coast team

00:57:04.240 --> 00:57:05.673
every fucking time.
You know why?

00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:09.395
The west coast team... to them,
they're playing after midnight.

00:57:29.080 --> 00:57:30.911
- Rachel Hill.
- Mm.

00:57:31.040 --> 00:57:32.678
- Giants fan.
- Kenny Wells, Rachel.

00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:34.120
So, what do you do, Rachel Hill?

00:57:34.160 --> 00:57:35.798
- Investor relations.
- Mm.

00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:37.478
Brown, Thomas.
On the team.

00:57:37.640 --> 00:57:39.915
Cheers to that. You got to be
the best-looking one

00:57:40.040 --> 00:57:41.951
on the team,
I'll tell you that.

00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:45.720
It's like a drunk raccoon

00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:47.273
got a hold
of the Hope diamond.

00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:49.032
You don't want to get
too close,

00:57:49.160 --> 00:57:51.000
but you're not going
to let it get away either.

00:57:52.040 --> 00:57:53.917
- It's your raccoon.
- Mm.

00:57:54.040 --> 00:57:56.349
You let it run a
multi-billion-dollar company?

00:57:56.480 --> 00:57:57.680
What, and lose you as a client

00:57:57.720 --> 00:57:59.358
and half the rest
of my business?

00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:00.799
There's risks
and there's risks.

00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:03.115
Still, it was
a good fucking day.

00:58:03.240 --> 00:58:05.595
Now, who wants
to buy me a drink?

00:58:05.720 --> 00:58:07.312
Three double shots of Jack.

00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:10.398
So tell me, to go out
into the wilderness

00:58:10.520 --> 00:58:12.795
with your bare hands

00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:16.356
and discover something
that everybody wants...

00:58:18.440 --> 00:58:20.396
...how does that feel?

00:58:20.520 --> 00:58:22.829
I, uh... propose a toast.

00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:24.837
Hear, hear.

00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:28.270
To a small creature,
often misunderstood.

00:58:33.320 --> 00:58:34.958
To the raccoon.

00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:48.991
Well, fuck me.

00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:55.993
River of gold.

00:58:57.600 --> 00:58:59.511
The thing is,
if you don't watch it,

00:58:59.680 --> 00:59:01.159
gold will grow on you.

00:59:04.240 --> 00:59:06.151
- I can see that now.
- Mm.

00:59:08.080 --> 00:59:09.496
- I don't want to talk about it.
- What did...

00:59:09.520 --> 00:59:10.839
I wasn't doing anything.

00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:12.951
I said I don't want
to talk about it!

00:59:13.080 --> 00:59:14.991
Well, what the fuck
should I have done, huh?

00:59:15.120 --> 00:59:16.616
Just bend her over the table
right there

00:59:16.640 --> 00:59:17.976
and fucking banged her
in front of everybody?

00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:19.480
You are too drunk
to get it up anyway.

00:59:19.600 --> 00:59:21.670
I'll take that challenge, baby.

00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:25.793
I don't care about you flirting
with Miss Pneumatic 1988.

00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:27.840
You think I haven't seen
that shit before, Kenny?

00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:29.359
She had tiny
little fucking titties.

00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:30.754
You don't think
they were real?

00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:34.071
No, none of this is real.
None of it.

00:59:34.200 --> 00:59:35.349
Why are you fucking...

00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:37.072
We made it!

00:59:37.200 --> 00:59:40.078
- Shit.
- Baby, what the fuck?!

00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:47.556
You know what
your problem is, Kay?

00:59:49.200 --> 00:59:52.033
- No. Why don't you tell me.
- You've got no vision.

00:59:52.160 --> 00:59:53.832
Right? Fucking vision.

00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:56.176
Your vision starts right here,
and it goes to right here.

00:59:56.200 --> 00:59:57.696
Right here
is the fucking kitchen sink,

00:59:57.720 --> 00:59:59.551
and right here's
the goddamn parking lot

00:59:59.680 --> 01:00:01.955
at the furniture store.

01:00:02.080 --> 01:00:04.548
- Come on.
- You mean an actual job

01:00:04.680 --> 01:00:06.680
that would support a person
in the place they live?

01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:08.153
You mean that vision?

01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:11.548
You know what? Fuck you.

01:00:11.680 --> 01:00:13.955
- Ah, Kay, fuck me.
- Fuck you.

01:00:14.080 --> 01:00:15.376
Fuck you. Fuck...
Wh-wh-what, what?

01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:18.198
Don't you see
what's happening here?

01:00:18.320 --> 01:00:19.400
Oh, great. Go...
Yeah, yeah.

01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:21.516
Pack your shit, run back
to your shitty life, huh?

01:00:21.640 --> 01:00:24.108
- You know what? I like my shitty life.
- Christ.

01:00:24.240 --> 01:00:26.356
- It's mine.
- Fucking giving this up.

01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:28.994
You always wanted
a broken bird, didn't you?

01:00:29.120 --> 01:00:30.553
Said the right things,
but in here,

01:00:30.680 --> 01:00:32.830
you never fucking believed
in me, did you?

01:00:35.240 --> 01:00:38.630
You never believed in me,
did you, Kay?

01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:41.433
Hmm? You like me losing,
don't you?

01:00:41.560 --> 01:00:43.536
- How can you even say that?
- It makes you feel comfortable,

01:00:43.560 --> 01:00:45.176
doesn't it?
Does it feel comfortable, Kay?

01:00:45.200 --> 01:00:48.749
These people are using you.

01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:51.474
- They don't care about you.
- I don't fucking...

01:00:51.600 --> 01:00:53.560
And they certainly
don't believe in you.

01:00:53.680 --> 01:00:55.955
- Yeah, but, Kay, I found gold.
- Goddamn...

01:00:56.080 --> 01:00:57.229
Now we're winning, babe.

01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:59.316
Would you just let me
have the win?

01:01:01.160 --> 01:01:03.469
We're winning!

01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:11.555
It ever occur to you
that I know what I'm doing?

01:01:11.680 --> 01:01:12.829
I hope you do.

01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:14.439
Huh?

01:01:14.560 --> 01:01:15.560
I do.

01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:21.913
- I love what's in there...
- Mm.

01:01:22.040 --> 01:01:23.837
more than you'll ever know.

01:01:25.960 --> 01:01:28.349
These guys are going
to tear you up.

01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:31.319
Mm.

01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:34.273
Don't ask me to watch
what happens next.

01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:36.550
I know what I'm doing, Kay.

01:01:36.680 --> 01:01:38.511
I know what I'm fucking doing.

01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.670
What'd you do next, Wells?

01:01:49.520 --> 01:01:51.909
What did I do?

01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:56.279
I rode it.

01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.514
I rode it, Jennings.

01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:21.376
Another double.
Seagram's on the rocks.

01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:23.152
Yes, sir.

01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:24.480
And I'll have the same.

01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:28.713
Oh, goddamn.
You don't have to impress me.

01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:31.718
Reminds me of my childhood.

01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:33.751
So how is everything

01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:37.316
in the very enchanted world
of Kenny Wells?

01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:39.755
I feel like a million bucks,

01:02:39.880 --> 01:02:42.235
only a few hundred
times better.

01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:44.709
That must be
a very nice feeling.

01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:46.990
Yeah.
It looks like there's a...

01:02:47.120 --> 01:02:50.271
a few other people around here
with a similar feeling.

01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:52.311
Mm, maybe.

01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:55.398
Maybe not.

01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:03.349
How does someone
like yourself end up, uh, here?

01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:05.277
I know Tom.

01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:06.628
Tom is a friend.

01:03:06.800 --> 01:03:08.791
- Oh, I bet he is.
- Now, now.

01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:11.718
I stay with his cousin,
Timmy, down the lane.

01:03:13.600 --> 01:03:15.113
Timmy's really quite
a character,

01:03:15.240 --> 01:03:16.753
if you get to know him.

01:03:16.880 --> 01:03:18.393
I don't know Timmy.

01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:23.229
I don't really
feel like talking.

01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:26.119
Let's just feel things.

01:03:31.520 --> 01:03:33.351
Wells.

01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:37.559
- Kenny Wells?
- Uh-huh.

01:03:37.680 --> 01:03:39.193
Mark Hancock.

01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:42.392
Seems I've caught you at a bit
of a disadvantage, Mr. Wells.

01:03:44.560 --> 01:03:45.879
Depends on how you look at it.

01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:47.991
Kenny goddamn Wells, Mark.

01:03:48.120 --> 01:03:50.190
This is Rachel.

01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:51.336
Oh, I know the lovely Rachel.

01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:53.157
You know,
this son of a bitch here,

01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:56.317
he controls more gold than
anybody on the goddamn planet.

01:03:56.440 --> 01:03:59.750
With the possible exception now
of Mr. Wells.

01:04:05.640 --> 01:04:07.358
This is how it happens, huh?

01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:10.956
This is how it happens.

01:04:11.080 --> 01:04:13.514
Goddamn.

01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:30.279
What can I tell you?

01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:32.096
- Kenny, it's a generous offer.
- It's a fucking joke!

01:04:32.120 --> 01:04:33.235
Let's-let's take this...

01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:35.920
This isn't a deal, Brian.
This is a goddamn rape.

01:04:36.040 --> 01:04:38.270
- Listen... listen to me.
- No, no, this is mine!

01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:40.391
It's mine! I-I found it!

01:04:40.560 --> 01:04:42.471
Me and Mike.
We were the ones up to our ass

01:04:42.600 --> 01:04:45.319
in the mud and the shit
and the malaria.

01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:47.869
And this little prick
offers a minority partnership?

01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:49.736
Kenny, let's keep
some perspective here, okay?

01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:51.671
Whenever anybody offers
this amount of money,

01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:52.915
it's a good day.

01:04:53.040 --> 01:04:54.393
You may say yes,
you may say no,

01:04:54.520 --> 01:04:56.256
but it's not like anybody's
trying to offend you.

01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:57.800
Well, mission
goddamn not accomplished.

01:04:57.840 --> 01:04:59.680
Hancock and Newport Holdings
have the expertise

01:04:59.800 --> 01:05:01.518
and the experience
to bring this home.

01:05:01.640 --> 01:05:03.416
- This was always there as a contingency.
- No, no.

01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:05.351
- You know that.
- No, no, no.

01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:07.675
This is when Washoe Mining
becomes a player,

01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:09.319
right here,
right fucking now.

01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:11.874
Not Mark fucking Hancock
and Newport Holdings.

01:05:13.360 --> 01:05:15.510
I don't even see our name
on here, Brian.

01:05:15.680 --> 01:05:17.159
You took our fucking name...

01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:19.635
you took my name off it.

01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:22.194
But if we take
a step back here,

01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:24.038
wouldn't it not be terrible

01:05:24.160 --> 01:05:25.991
to sit back
and enjoy your success?

01:05:26.120 --> 01:05:27.712
"Wouldn't it not be terrible"?

01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:30.115
What the fuck kind of way
of talking is that, Brian?

01:05:30.240 --> 01:05:31.673
W-W-Wouldn't it not be terrible

01:05:31.800 --> 01:05:33.016
if I bend over
and grab my ankles

01:05:33.040 --> 01:05:35.076
so you could fuck me
up the ass?

01:05:35.240 --> 01:05:37.390
You think you can buy me out
and take my name?

01:05:37.520 --> 01:05:39.556
Or just throw Kenny Wells
to the fucking cornfield?

01:05:39.680 --> 01:05:41.636
Fuck you, Brian.

01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:44.274
If we hit pause for a second

01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:47.790
and consider, without emotion,

01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:49.439
I think you'll realize

01:05:49.560 --> 01:05:52.313
that this is one of those
very rare moments

01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:55.796
where, with a stroke of a pen,
no one in your family...

01:05:55.920 --> 01:05:57.956
I'm talking your children's
grandchildren...

01:05:58.080 --> 01:06:01.356
will ever have to worry
about money again.

01:06:25.560 --> 01:06:28.154
You see these hands, Brian?

01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:31.272
These are my father's hands.

01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:33.356
I have scratched and clawed
through the hot earth

01:06:33.480 --> 01:06:34.799
with these hands,

01:06:34.920 --> 01:06:38.469
and I will bury you
with these hands.

01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:44.990
Now, you go tell that silky
sable, Mark Hancock...

01:06:45.120 --> 01:06:47.759
he works for Kenny Wells.

01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:51.633
My fucking day.

01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:53.398
My day!

01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:04.719
You know,
I almost respect this guy.

01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:07.016
That was a pretty foolish

01:07:07.040 --> 01:07:08.519
business decision, wasn't it?

01:07:08.640 --> 01:07:11.473
You're a foot away
from living in your car.

01:07:11.600 --> 01:07:15.036
You turned down $300 million?

01:07:15.160 --> 01:07:16.639
Over naming rights?

01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:21.838
Yeah, I did.

01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:28.470
Because Kensana would become
a Newport Mine, right?

01:07:28.600 --> 01:07:30.875
And Mark fucking Hancock's
Midas touch continues.

01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:32.319
Me, Kenny Wells,

01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:34.152
the-the lucky bastard
who fell down drunk

01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:36.629
and woke up
in a pile of cash. No.

01:07:39.880 --> 01:07:42.075
It was my dream.

01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:46.317
I dreamed it.

01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:52.795
You sell your dream...

01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:55.110
what do you have left?

01:08:38.120 --> 01:08:39.792
Good morning, Stacy.
How are you today?

01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:41.273
- Good.
- How's Ronnie? Good?

01:08:41.400 --> 01:08:42.958
- Thank you.
- Okay. Mm. - Kenny.

01:08:43.080 --> 01:08:44.200
Mike's on the line. Come on.

01:08:44.320 --> 01:08:45.976
- Mike, hang on. Kenny... Kenny's here.
- Come on!

01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:48.309
- It's Mike. It's a fucking shit-storm.
- Mm.

01:08:48.440 --> 01:08:49.919
Mikey, what's up?

01:08:50.040 --> 01:08:51.075
They're locking us out.

01:08:51.200 --> 01:08:52.576
- They're what?
- They're locking us out!

01:08:52.600 --> 01:08:53.635
The military's here.

01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:54.920
They're taking over the mine.

01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:57.195
What happened at your meeting
with Hancock?

01:08:57.360 --> 01:08:58.873
What happened
at the meeting, Kenny?!

01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:02.675
Listen, Mike, they-they
were trying to push us out.

01:09:02.800 --> 01:09:04.756
Push us out? Wha-What
do you mean, push us out?

01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:06.996
They took... they took
our names off it, Mike.

01:09:07.160 --> 01:09:09.435
Mine and yours. They took
our fucking names off.

01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:10.993
Aw, you fucking moron!

01:09:11.120 --> 01:09:13.839
They can't... can't just revoke
the-the permit, all right?

01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:14.830
They can't just steal it away.

01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:16.176
Kenny, what?
What the fuck is going on?

01:09:16.200 --> 01:09:17.656
Of course
they can revoke the permit!

01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:19.477
Suharto can do
whatever the fuck he wants!

01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:21.272
Hey! Hey!

01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:24.670
- Mike!
- Kenny, what's going on?

01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:26.518
- What the fuck is going on?
- Shh!

01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:31.791
- Mike. Mike.
- Kenny, we lost the site.

01:09:31.920 --> 01:09:33.194
I told you, man.

01:09:33.320 --> 01:09:35.436
You knew exactly
who we were dealing with.

01:09:35.560 --> 01:09:37.676
These people are killers.

01:09:37.800 --> 01:09:39.916
Hancock first among them.

01:09:40.040 --> 01:09:42.315
I told you, Kenny.

01:09:42.440 --> 01:09:45.671
- Now it's gone.
- Uh...

01:09:54.840 --> 01:09:57.070
So it turns out
that in addition

01:09:57.200 --> 01:09:59.270
to having, um,
longstanding ties

01:09:59.400 --> 01:10:00.833
with Suharto...

01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:03.554
Newport Holdings
actually had on its board

01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:06.558
a certain ex-president
of the United States.

01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:08.870
Who was also...

01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:11.434
in one of Suharto's weddings...

01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:13.033
as a groomsman.

01:10:13.160 --> 01:10:15.071
So you see, that whole time
they're telling me

01:10:15.200 --> 01:10:16.952
how rich my grandkids
are gonna be,

01:10:17.080 --> 01:10:18.399
they got a backup plan.

01:10:18.520 --> 01:10:20.795
They're gonna pick my pocket
and steal it all away.

01:10:37.080 --> 01:10:39.469
Washoe stock
was off nearly 50 points

01:10:39.600 --> 01:10:41.238
at the opening bell
this morning

01:10:41.360 --> 01:10:43.954
on news of the Suharto
government's revocation

01:10:44.080 --> 01:10:46.548
of Washoe's exploration rights.

01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:49.553
President and CEO,
Kenny Wells, has not...

01:10:49.720 --> 01:10:52.154
All fucking con men.
They stole it's what they did.

01:10:52.280 --> 01:10:53.679
They goddamn stole it.

01:10:56.720 --> 01:10:57.994
Mm.

01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:04.036
You're gonna need
to go home, Kenny.

01:11:04.160 --> 01:11:06.151
Just pour me
a goddamn drink, Roy.

01:11:06.320 --> 01:11:08.276
Go home, Kenny.

01:11:17.320 --> 01:11:18.469
This is us.

01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:19.953
We can't get to the phone...

01:11:24.240 --> 01:11:25.798
Wrong number.

01:11:34.040 --> 01:11:35.234
This is us.

01:11:35.360 --> 01:11:37.191
We can't get to the phone
right now.

01:11:37.320 --> 01:11:38.719
You know what to do.

01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:42.238
Hey, hey, Kay.

01:11:43.360 --> 01:11:44.759
It's me. Uh...

01:11:46.440 --> 01:11:48.749
I-I-I-I guess you're not home,

01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:50.029
you know, right now.

01:11:50.200 --> 01:11:53.829
I was...
and I was just calling...

01:11:53.960 --> 01:11:56.872
Honey, I really...
I want to hear your voice.

01:12:00.360 --> 01:12:03.113
I s... I-I screwed up, Kay.

01:12:05.760 --> 01:12:08.638
I want...
I wanted to build something.

01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:12.434
Something real
that would last...

01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:15.233
last for you and me and...

01:12:15.360 --> 01:12:17.590
for Dad.

01:12:27.320 --> 01:12:29.151
That's all I wanted to do.

01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:32.876
But you were right, you know?

01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:34.877
You were right.

01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:37.673
Again.

01:12:40.240 --> 01:12:42.196
I love you, Kay.

01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:46.639
Mm, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna stop now.

01:12:46.760 --> 01:12:48.637
I'm-I'm not gonna call...

01:12:48.800 --> 01:12:51.155
I'm not gonna call you anymore.

01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:56.079
Oh, my God, is that him?

01:12:56.200 --> 01:12:58.191
Yeah, that's Acosta.

01:12:58.320 --> 01:13:00.959
He looks different in person.

01:13:01.080 --> 01:13:03.640
Isn't he supposed to be
in lndonesia?

01:13:06.480 --> 01:13:08.232
Where is he?

01:13:17.200 --> 01:13:19.760
Here you are.

01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:21.279
Get up!

01:13:22.680 --> 01:13:24.416
You don't own my fucking
company just 'cause you...

01:13:24.440 --> 01:13:26.136
Quit fucking kicking me.

01:13:26.160 --> 01:13:29.197
I didn't know who it was till
I heard the cocky fucking talk.

01:13:29.320 --> 01:13:31.072
- Ah?
- Fucking moron.

01:13:31.200 --> 01:13:32.997
Oh, yeah?
You're gonna fight?

01:13:33.120 --> 01:13:34.872
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
Yeah, you want to fight?

01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:36.399
Yeah, you want to fight now?

01:13:36.520 --> 01:13:38.158
After losing
my fucking company?

01:13:38.280 --> 01:13:40.430
You want to fight now?
Yeah, you want to fight?

01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:43.160
Yeah? Yeah?

01:13:55.520 --> 01:13:57.909
You know what they say?

01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:01.275
That you're a drunk.

01:14:01.400 --> 01:14:03.516
A clown.

01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:05.870
Out of your league.

01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:10.519
Yeah, well, fuck them.

01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:12.073
Yeah, fuck them.

01:14:12.200 --> 01:14:13.553
You know what? Fuck you, too.

01:14:13.680 --> 01:14:15.955
You think I want to hear
from the fucking golden boy

01:14:16.080 --> 01:14:17.559
standing there
in his golden glow

01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:20.314
telling me how messed up
everything is? Huh?

01:14:20.440 --> 01:14:22.078
No, go fucking back
to your perch

01:14:22.200 --> 01:14:24.111
at the Jakarta Palace, huh?

01:14:24.240 --> 01:14:25.958
Huh? You can use
that instinct of yours

01:14:26.080 --> 01:14:27.991
to find some new strike
with some new people.

01:14:28.120 --> 01:14:30.475
Is that what you think?

01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.036
I know you, man.
You're Mike fucking Acosta.

01:14:35.720 --> 01:14:37.551
Prick.

01:14:41.040 --> 01:14:42.393
Okay.

01:14:44.240 --> 01:14:46.549
Let me tell you
what really happened.

01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:51.593
We're in North Sulawesi.

01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:54.075
Monsoon season.

01:14:54.200 --> 01:14:56.077
It's 1980.

01:14:56.200 --> 01:14:57.349
Yeah.

01:14:57.480 --> 01:15:00.199
The famous copper strike.

01:15:01.480 --> 01:15:03.675
Only we was looking
for bauxite.

01:15:07.680 --> 01:15:11.036
On my way to...
where I'm planning to drill,

01:15:11.160 --> 01:15:13.116
I get us stuck.

01:15:14.800 --> 01:15:17.109
Five feet of mud.

01:15:17.280 --> 01:15:19.999
We're just sitting in the rain
day after day,

01:15:20.160 --> 01:15:22.116
watching the metal rust.

01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:28.432
What'd you do?

01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:30.437
Under the theory
that it's better

01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:32.630
to do something
than nothing, I...

01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:35.672
reported... this was the spot.

01:15:38.360 --> 01:15:40.510
Nowhere became somewhere.

01:15:44.160 --> 01:15:46.276
The place you got stuck.

01:15:49.800 --> 01:15:51.756
I got lucky.

01:15:56.800 --> 01:15:59.030
I fucking love that.

01:16:02.240 --> 01:16:06.711
You went looking for bauxite,
and you found copper.

01:16:08.200 --> 01:16:12.478
I went looking for gold and...

01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:14.670
found a friend.

01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:19.797
That is
the single hokiest thing

01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:22.309
I've ever heard in my life.

01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:27.431
So, you got a plan?

01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:29.318
Don't you?

01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:41.837
So, get this.

01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:45.236
Turns out Suharto had a son,

01:16:45.360 --> 01:16:47.476
his youngest, Darmadi,

01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:49.352
AKA Danny.

01:16:49.480 --> 01:16:52.517
Bit of a screw-up,
real problem for the old man.

01:16:52.640 --> 01:16:55.871
Mm, safe to say
we understood each other.

01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:59.629
So, Suharto had been trying
to get Danny set up for years,

01:16:59.800 --> 01:17:02.314
all right, but everything
Danny touched turned to shit.

01:17:02.440 --> 01:17:05.193
Now, I figure
if we can bring Danny on board

01:17:05.320 --> 01:17:07.311
as a partner,
maybe he could get Daddy

01:17:07.440 --> 01:17:10.034
to change his mind
and swing things back our way.

01:17:10.160 --> 01:17:12.720
Now, it was a Hail Mary
from our own one-yard line,

01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:14.558
but it was all we had.

01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:16.113
But it also didn't hurt

01:17:16.240 --> 01:17:17.992
that Danny
had been regularly ignored

01:17:18.120 --> 01:17:20.634
by a certain ex-president
of the United States

01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:23.035
who was a groomsman
at his father's third wedding

01:17:23.200 --> 01:17:27.239
and also happened to sit on
the board at Newport Holdings.

01:17:27.360 --> 01:17:29.920
So, this guy goes
to a Cadillac dealership.

01:17:30.080 --> 01:17:31.656
Right? Dealer comes out
and he says, "Sir,

01:17:31.680 --> 01:17:33.216
are you thinking
about buying a Cadillac?"

01:17:33.240 --> 01:17:35.231
He says, "No. I'm
definitely buying a Cadillac.

01:17:35.360 --> 01:17:37.316
"What I'm thinking about...

01:17:37.440 --> 01:17:39.237
is pussy."

01:17:45.160 --> 01:17:47.310
Pussy.

01:17:50.080 --> 01:17:52.435
Mm. Oh, shit.

01:17:56.680 --> 01:17:59.638
Cadillac is...

01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:01.910
pussy magnet.

01:18:02.040 --> 01:18:03.837
You like Cadillacs.

01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:05.188
Yeah!

01:18:10.080 --> 01:18:12.230
Hey! Heads up, right there. Oh!

01:18:12.360 --> 01:18:14.078
Ah...

01:18:14.200 --> 01:18:16.191
I gotta ride shotgun.

01:18:16.320 --> 01:18:18.550
Ha-ha!

01:18:25.280 --> 01:18:26.952
President Gerald Ford,

01:18:27.080 --> 01:18:29.674
- a tall man.
- Mm-hmm.

01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:31.836
George H.W. Bush...

01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:34.428
a very tall man.

01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:35.874
Mm-hmm.

01:18:36.000 --> 01:18:38.036
Mark Hancock...

01:18:38.160 --> 01:18:39.593
also tall man.

01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:41.472
My father...

01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:43.318
small man.

01:18:43.440 --> 01:18:45.556
Small in stature.

01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:49.275
But... he loves his family.

01:18:51.160 --> 01:18:52.639
Mine, too.

01:18:52.760 --> 01:18:54.637
Yeah.

01:18:54.760 --> 01:18:58.514
Died in the driveway bringing
in the groceries for my mother.

01:18:58.640 --> 01:19:00.073
His heart.

01:19:01.640 --> 01:19:04.200
Fuck, well,
it makes sense, huh?

01:19:04.320 --> 01:19:05.799
To father of Wells.

01:19:07.280 --> 01:19:09.077
85/15 split,

01:19:09.200 --> 01:19:11.031
if you have the balls.

01:19:11.160 --> 01:19:12.878
50/50, and I might consider it.

01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:14.718
That's a fucking deal.

01:19:14.840 --> 01:19:16.717
That's a deal
if you have the balls.

01:19:16.840 --> 01:19:19.070
No balls, no deal.

01:19:20.160 --> 01:19:21.513
Kenny...

01:19:23.720 --> 01:19:25.438
...do you have balls?

01:19:25.560 --> 01:19:27.551
- You asking me if I got fucking balls?
- Yeah.

01:19:27.680 --> 01:19:29.033
Fuck, he has balls.

01:19:29.200 --> 01:19:31.156
- Go in there?
- Mm-hmm.

01:19:31.280 --> 01:19:35.398
- Fucking 85/15 fucking split?
- Mm-hmm.

01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:37.476
No balls...

01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:39.192
no deal.

01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:42.153
Open it.

01:21:24.480 --> 01:21:27.278
I'm touching a tiger.

01:21:27.440 --> 01:21:30.637
I'll pull my cock out,
we go 60/40.

01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:32.830
Ah, fuck you.

01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:38.677
Mike, I'm touching
a tiger right between the eyes.

01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:46.873
Hollis, what's going on?

01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:52.671
You haven't heard?

01:21:52.840 --> 01:21:54.831
Wells cut a deal.

01:21:54.960 --> 01:21:56.552
A deal?
What are you talking about?

01:21:56.720 --> 01:21:57.914
Who cut a deal with him?

01:21:58.040 --> 01:22:00.998
Suharto.
The lndonesian government.

01:22:01.120 --> 01:22:04.590
- What?
- Washoe retains 15% of the find.

01:22:04.720 --> 01:22:07.598
The other 85 goes to a company
of Suharto's choosing,

01:22:07.720 --> 01:22:10.951
which just so happens
to be owned by his son.

01:22:11.080 --> 01:22:13.719
- Wells cut us off at the knees.
- What about Hancock?

01:22:13.840 --> 01:22:16.070
He's out.
Can't compete at that number.

01:22:16.240 --> 01:22:17.559
Deal's done, Brian.

01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:19.989
Wells and Acosta are now
the only outside partners

01:22:20.160 --> 01:22:22.230
in the biggest gold strike
in history.

01:22:22.360 --> 01:22:24.112
We represent exactly none of it.

01:22:24.240 --> 01:22:26.708
- 15% is a terrible deal.
- Is it?

01:22:26.840 --> 01:22:29.798
What's 15% of $30 billion?

01:22:31.160 --> 01:22:32.309
I can explain. You met him.

01:22:32.440 --> 01:22:33.873
You'll be fine, Brian.

01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:35.558
You'll land on your feet.

01:22:44.520 --> 01:22:46.829
I was afraid you'd come home
with a bone in your nose

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:48.880
- or some such shit.
- How are we doing?

01:22:48.960 --> 01:22:50.552
- Good, man.
- Hey, where's Kay?

01:22:50.680 --> 01:22:52.557
- You didn't hear?
- Hear what?

01:22:52.680 --> 01:22:53.829
She quit.

01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:55.951
She got a promotion
out at the store.

01:22:56.080 --> 01:22:59.152
- Assistant manager.
- Hey, Roy, turn that up.

01:22:59.280 --> 01:23:01.430
Kenny Wells, right there!
It's on the news, man!

01:23:01.560 --> 01:23:03.312
...massive gold strike,

01:23:03.440 --> 01:23:05.749
fending off a takeover
by Newport Holdings.

01:23:05.880 --> 01:23:08.440
Washoe shares are soaring...

01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:10.152
Oh, yeah!

01:23:10.280 --> 01:23:13.033
Soaring! Soaring!

01:23:13.160 --> 01:23:16.311
Kenny!
Can I see you a minute?

01:23:18.320 --> 01:23:20.311
What you got, Clive?

01:23:20.440 --> 01:23:23.000
I just got a call.

01:23:23.120 --> 01:23:25.076
The National Association
of Prospectors

01:23:25.200 --> 01:23:28.909
is gonna honor you
with the Golden Pickaxe.

01:23:32.000 --> 01:23:34.594
- You shittin' me?
- No, I'm not.

01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:37.757
You are now the best miner
in the world.

01:23:37.880 --> 01:23:40.952
And I'm sure somewhere
your daddy is smiling.

01:23:42.960 --> 01:23:45.793
Well, goddamn, if he's not,
I can smile for the both of us.

01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:47.319
Ah...

01:23:49.160 --> 01:23:51.037
Where are you going?

01:23:51.160 --> 01:23:52.798
Got to find someone.

01:25:08.760 --> 01:25:10.159
Yeah?

01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:14.434
Mike. I didn't think
you could make it.

01:25:18.040 --> 01:25:19.678
Okay.

01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:23.276
A thousand monkeys,
thousand horses...

01:25:23.400 --> 01:25:24.958
uh...

01:25:25.080 --> 01:25:26.991
and across and around...

01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:42.516
I'm nervous.

01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:45.716
You're gonna be okay.

01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:10.636
"Every last one of us

01:26:10.760 --> 01:26:14.389
"who calls the great state
of Nevada home...

01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:16.869
"arrived here...

01:26:17.000 --> 01:26:19.036
"with a dream.

01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:25.274
"It was my great granddad
who came out here on a wagon.

01:26:26.560 --> 01:26:29.518
"He had a horse
and he had two mules...

01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:31.278
"when they
finally stopped moving

01:26:31.400 --> 01:26:33.197
"and said...

01:26:35.560 --> 01:26:37.437
'This is the place."'

01:26:42.160 --> 01:26:43.878
Too much?

01:26:45.080 --> 01:26:47.116
That's good.

01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:52.149
Yeah.

01:26:52.280 --> 01:26:54.589
...our own Kenny Wells!

01:26:56.200 --> 01:26:57.679
Get up here, Kenny!

01:27:22.120 --> 01:27:24.429
Thank you. Um...

01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:31.553
My great granddad...

01:27:31.720 --> 01:27:33.517
was one of us.

01:27:33.680 --> 01:27:36.558
He came out here in a wagon
with two horses and a mule,

01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:38.989
and, you know,
he crossed six states

01:27:39.120 --> 01:27:41.156
before he slowed down,
and it was...

01:27:41.280 --> 01:27:42.508
it was when he got here

01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:46.792
that he finally pulled
those reins back and said...

01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:50.230
"This is the place."

01:27:55.240 --> 01:27:57.071
What is a prospector?

01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:00.714
No, no, I'm...

01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:02.432
Seriously, what...

01:28:04.080 --> 01:28:06.036
What is a prospector?

01:28:09.320 --> 01:28:12.551
It's someone who believes...

01:28:12.720 --> 01:28:16.156
it's out there.

01:28:16.280 --> 01:28:18.510
Who wakes up every morning,

01:28:18.640 --> 01:28:21.518
again and again,
again and again...

01:28:24.040 --> 01:28:26.315
...believing it's out there.

01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:30.439
And then it's not.

01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:33.518
- Right? It's not.
- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.

01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:37.394
And he's standing
on the edge of the desert,

01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:38.999
staring a...

01:28:39.120 --> 01:28:42.317
new day's sunrise
right in the eye, and...

01:28:42.440 --> 01:28:44.795
and he hears that little voice,

01:28:44.960 --> 01:28:47.315
a little voice that says...

01:28:49.440 --> 01:28:51.556
"Go ahead.

01:28:51.720 --> 01:28:53.915
Keep walking."

01:28:55.200 --> 01:28:56.713
And the sun gets
higher and higher,

01:28:56.840 --> 01:28:58.831
and it's shining down on him,
and he's really hot,

01:28:58.960 --> 01:28:59.960
and he doesn't have

01:29:00.040 --> 01:29:01.268
any water to drink,

01:29:01.400 --> 01:29:03.868
and everybody that came
with him wants to turn back,

01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:05.718
and eventually,
they do turn back,

01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:07.717
and there he is.

01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:09.990
And he's all alone.

01:29:20.440 --> 01:29:22.635
With the belief...

01:29:27.680 --> 01:29:30.148
...that it's out there, man.

01:29:30.280 --> 01:29:32.271
It's out there.

01:29:38.400 --> 01:29:40.277
That's a prospector.

01:29:43.160 --> 01:29:44.991
That's a prospector.

01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:58.309
Really great speech, son.
Just great. Great.

01:30:13.840 --> 01:30:16.035
- To your daddy.
- To Mr. Wells!

01:30:46.080 --> 01:30:47.593
Mm.

01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:52.874
Yeah?

01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:58.673
What?

01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:00.119
Say-say again?

01:31:00.240 --> 01:31:01.753
No, I-I don't understand.

01:31:01.880 --> 01:31:03.836
Wait-wait.

01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:20.976
Kenny, what's going on?

01:31:21.000 --> 01:31:23.753
Kenny... what happened?

01:31:23.880 --> 01:31:24.949
I don't know.

01:31:25.120 --> 01:31:27.156
I'm going to find out.

01:31:29.160 --> 01:31:31.276
I don't know any more than...

01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:39.233
You're not gonna get away
with this!

01:31:40.560 --> 01:31:42.152
Back the fuck off!

01:31:42.280 --> 01:31:45.750
Kenny, please fix this!

01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:48.348
What happened, huh?
What happened?

01:31:48.520 --> 01:31:49.999
The independent assayer.

01:31:50.120 --> 01:31:52.031
They couldn't reproduce
Mike's findings.

01:31:54.480 --> 01:31:56.516
There's no gold.

01:31:56.640 --> 01:31:59.029
Kenny, there's no goddamn gold.
There never was.

01:32:03.400 --> 01:32:04.674
That's not possible.

01:32:06.120 --> 01:32:07.816
The image on the left
is the type of gold

01:32:07.840 --> 01:32:10.593
found in the Washoe samples.
This is river gold.

01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:12.392
Notice how the edges
are rounded,

01:32:12.520 --> 01:32:14.954
worn smooth
by the erosion of water.

01:32:15.080 --> 01:32:17.116
What we should have found
is flake gold,

01:32:17.240 --> 01:32:18.753
the sample on the right,

01:32:18.880 --> 01:32:22.839
pulled directly from the rock,
rough-edged and angular.

01:32:22.960 --> 01:32:25.155
That's a pretty darn big detail
to overlook,

01:32:25.280 --> 01:32:26.838
wouldn't you say?

01:32:26.960 --> 01:32:29.838
It's a big detail, but...
you have to understand,

01:32:29.960 --> 01:32:32.918
everything else about
the Washoe samples was right.

01:32:33.040 --> 01:32:35.110
But the gold was wrong.

01:32:35.240 --> 01:32:38.152
It's called salting...
it literally means when someone

01:32:38.320 --> 01:32:40.959
sprinkles gold dust
into a rock sample,

01:32:41.080 --> 01:32:43.833
like you... salt your steak.

01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:46.872
It is the oldest trick
in the book.

01:32:47.000 --> 01:32:48.718
Oldest trick in the book?

01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:50.796
And yet major
mining corporations,

01:32:50.960 --> 01:32:52.598
investment banks, the auditors,

01:32:52.720 --> 01:32:54.073
everyone was fooled.

01:32:54.200 --> 01:32:56.395
We weren't fooled.

01:32:56.520 --> 01:32:58.397
We just didn't look.

01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:00.112
By all appearances,

01:33:00.240 --> 01:33:01.753
Washoe's security protocol

01:33:01.880 --> 01:33:03.233
were ironclad.

01:33:03.360 --> 01:33:05.316
But... when the person

01:33:05.440 --> 01:33:08.034
administering the security
is fraudulent,

01:33:08.160 --> 01:33:10.833
the whole system goes down.

01:33:16.360 --> 01:33:18.237
Right. Did he say...

01:33:18.400 --> 01:33:20.436
wh-wh-where-where he was going?

01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:22.118
Did he mention Jakarta?

01:33:23.200 --> 01:33:24.200
I'll call you back.

01:33:27.160 --> 01:33:30.118
The New York Stock Exchange
just suspended trading.

01:33:30.240 --> 01:33:32.993
They've taken Washoe
off the board.

01:33:46.240 --> 01:33:48.231
You sold some, right?

01:33:48.360 --> 01:33:49.588
Yeah.

01:33:49.720 --> 01:33:52.075
Of course.

01:33:52.200 --> 01:33:53.713
Bobby.

01:33:53.840 --> 01:33:55.876
I thought...

01:33:56.000 --> 01:33:58.912
I thought it was just gonna
keep going up.

01:33:59.040 --> 01:34:01.508
Damn it, Bobby,
I told you from the beginning

01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:04.313
just put some away,
save a little bit just in case.

01:34:04.440 --> 01:34:06.317
How many times
did I tell you that?

01:34:06.440 --> 01:34:07.759
Kenny, did you know?

01:34:07.880 --> 01:34:09.598
Did you know, Kenny?

01:34:09.720 --> 01:34:11.551
Did I know?

01:34:13.520 --> 01:34:15.272
I can't believe
you would ask me that.

01:34:15.400 --> 01:34:17.118
I'm asking you that.
Did you know?

01:34:17.240 --> 01:34:18.958
No, I goddamn
didn't know, Bobby.

01:34:20.480 --> 01:34:22.277
Kenny.

01:34:25.840 --> 01:34:26.840
- Kenny.
- What?

01:34:26.960 --> 01:34:28.056
I don't even know how
to tell you this.

01:34:28.080 --> 01:34:29.080
Just look.

01:34:33.680 --> 01:34:35.398
Acosta was dumping stock.

01:34:35.560 --> 01:34:37.073
- Mm.
- Shell companies.

01:34:37.200 --> 01:34:39.475
Banks in the Philippines,
the fucking Azores.

01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:40.600
Gibraltar.

01:34:40.720 --> 01:34:42.756
Multiple layers, all offshore.

01:34:44.880 --> 01:34:46.438
How much?

01:34:46.560 --> 01:34:49.677
$164 million.

01:34:50.960 --> 01:34:53.474
Okay, uh...

01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:55.397
what are we gonna do?

01:35:01.000 --> 01:35:03.560
I don't fucking
believe this. Hmm?

01:35:04.600 --> 01:35:07.876
This is the FBI!

01:35:08.000 --> 01:35:10.309
Step away from your desks!

01:35:10.440 --> 01:35:13.352
Take two big steps
away from your desks!

01:35:13.480 --> 01:35:15.436
Do not touch anything!

01:35:31.160 --> 01:35:34.436
How much money
was lost in the fraud,

01:35:34.560 --> 01:35:36.391
- that we know of?
- Oh, billions.

01:35:36.520 --> 01:35:37.873
Large institutional investors

01:35:38.040 --> 01:35:39.917
- lost billions of dollars.
- So one

01:35:40.040 --> 01:35:41.519
or maybe both of them,

01:35:41.640 --> 01:35:45.952
two outsiders, took everybody
on Wall Street for a ride?

01:35:46.080 --> 01:35:47.496
Yeah, it really looks
like they did.

01:35:47.520 --> 01:35:49.750
- Yeah.
- And Acosta has vanished?

01:35:49.880 --> 01:35:52.474
With hundreds of millions
of dollars.

01:35:52.640 --> 01:35:55.996
Kenny Wells has always
maintained his innocence,

01:35:56.120 --> 01:35:58.759
that he was duped
along with everyone else.

01:35:58.880 --> 01:36:01.599
Given that,
what do you make of this?

01:36:03.080 --> 01:36:07.835
Kenny Wells,
a fool or a mastermind?

01:36:09.720 --> 01:36:12.075
It's a very good
question, Roger.

01:36:32.360 --> 01:36:33.759
Um...

01:36:36.120 --> 01:36:40.398
Mike-Mike Acosta was my friend
and, uh, my partner.

01:36:40.560 --> 01:36:41.879
Um...

01:36:43.160 --> 01:36:45.993
...and he-he betrayed me.

01:36:46.120 --> 01:36:49.669
I-I know as CEO
of Washoe Mining

01:36:49.800 --> 01:36:51.916
it's my responsibility to know

01:36:52.040 --> 01:36:54.918
everything that's going on,
and I... I didn't.

01:36:56.200 --> 01:36:58.395
It's not an excuse.

01:36:58.520 --> 01:37:00.397
All right?
I sincerely apologize

01:37:00.520 --> 01:37:04.149
to everybody and anybody
that lost on their investments.

01:37:07.360 --> 01:37:09.920
Come on, Mike.

01:37:10.040 --> 01:37:12.031
Mikey, come on in, man.

01:37:12.160 --> 01:37:14.879
All right?

01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:16.638
What happened, huh?

01:37:33.920 --> 01:37:36.115
- Howard.
- I saw you on TV.

01:37:36.240 --> 01:37:39.152
- Hey, man, can I talk to you for a minute, please?
- No.

01:37:39.280 --> 01:37:41.157
Look, I just want to know
where my money went.

01:37:41.280 --> 01:37:43.336
- Come on! - Don't know anything about it, okay?
- Mr. Wells,

01:37:43.360 --> 01:37:46.193
Mr. Wells, exactly when
will you be departing?

01:37:46.320 --> 01:37:49.153
Uh, later. A few days or so.
I'll let you know.

01:37:49.280 --> 01:37:52.033
- We just need to talk about your bill, sir.
- I'll be down.

01:37:52.160 --> 01:37:53.513
We'll settle it up.

01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:00.830
Do I need a lawyer?

01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:03.394
Do you need a lawyer?

01:39:06.760 --> 01:39:08.671
Right answer.

01:39:20.720 --> 01:39:22.676
How'd you meet Michael Acosta?

01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:29.231
The, uh, first time
or the second time?

01:39:29.400 --> 01:39:31.755
How'd you meet him, Wells?

01:39:33.720 --> 01:39:36.632
It was April... of '88.

01:39:38.520 --> 01:39:40.715
Yeah, I was
on the balls of my ass.

01:39:40.840 --> 01:39:43.513
Scrambling.

01:39:43.640 --> 01:39:46.791
Not exactly uncharted waters
for me, but...

01:39:46.920 --> 01:39:49.275
I was in deep.

01:39:57.360 --> 01:39:58.998
I think it's pretty unlikely

01:39:59.120 --> 01:40:01.111
we'll ever see
your partner again.

01:40:03.680 --> 01:40:06.148
- What are you talking about?
- A lot of very powerful people

01:40:06.280 --> 01:40:08.191
are very angry
at Michael Acosta.

01:40:12.200 --> 01:40:13.679
Well, what happened?

01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:14.869
What happened?

01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:17.673
$17 billion of value
disappeared overnight.

01:40:17.800 --> 01:40:19.080
Mike Acosta
waves good-bye to you

01:40:19.240 --> 01:40:21.320
in the ballroom downstairs
and goes back to lndonesia

01:40:21.440 --> 01:40:23.829
on a jet chartered
with Washoe funds.

01:40:23.960 --> 01:40:26.713
And then he does
a disappearing act.

01:40:26.840 --> 01:40:28.876
But this you know.

01:40:29.040 --> 01:40:32.396
First, he's locked out
of the assay lab in Kalimantan

01:40:32.520 --> 01:40:34.909
by the minister
of the interior.

01:40:35.040 --> 01:40:36.837
- So he goes back to Jakarta...
- Mr. Acosta,

01:40:36.960 --> 01:40:38.359
please walk with with me.

01:40:38.480 --> 01:40:40.357
...where he's
immediately detained

01:40:40.480 --> 01:40:42.436
by the Indonesian military.

01:40:44.080 --> 01:40:45.433
And they hold him

01:40:45.600 --> 01:40:47.670
while they try to reproduce
for themselves

01:40:47.800 --> 01:40:50.109
the lab results claimed
by Washoe.

01:40:51.760 --> 01:40:54.593
Which, of course,
they are unable to do.

01:40:54.720 --> 01:40:57.359
Now, at this point,

01:40:57.480 --> 01:41:00.472
either he's being transferred
to an actual prison, or...

01:41:00.600 --> 01:41:02.397
he's bribed
one of the officers.

01:41:02.520 --> 01:41:03.555
Either way,

01:41:03.680 --> 01:41:05.272
he's on a military helicopter.

01:41:07.080 --> 01:41:10.152
They fly north, loosely
tracking the Kensana River.

01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:01.798
A thousand feet up,
over the Kensana...

01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:04.480
Mike Acosta takes a header.

01:42:15.040 --> 01:42:17.793
No way.

01:42:17.920 --> 01:42:20.593
No fucking way.

01:42:20.720 --> 01:42:22.517
He either faked it,

01:42:22.640 --> 01:42:24.790
or he paid to have
this-this bullshit story

01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:26.433
you're telling put out.

01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:30.792
$164 million goes a long way
in lndonesia.

01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:33.434
They found a body.

01:42:48.840 --> 01:42:51.229
Hands and face were eaten away,

01:42:51.360 --> 01:42:54.272
probably by wild pigs.

01:42:54.400 --> 01:42:56.960
Sure this is him?

01:42:57.080 --> 01:42:59.389
I'm not sure of anything...

01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:04.196
except Mike Acosta traded
water filters for river gold.

01:43:04.360 --> 01:43:05.918
But now
the Indonesian government

01:43:06.040 --> 01:43:07.314
have gone unusually quiet

01:43:07.440 --> 01:43:09.078
on the subject.

01:43:09.240 --> 01:43:10.832
There was an autopsy

01:43:10.960 --> 01:43:12.951
corroborating the identity
of the body.

01:43:14.280 --> 01:43:16.840
They then sealed the report...

01:43:18.560 --> 01:43:20.596
...cremated the remains.

01:43:20.720 --> 01:43:25.157
Interestingly,
Danny Suharto, your friend...

01:43:25.280 --> 01:43:28.158
dumped a lot of stock as well.

01:43:28.280 --> 01:43:31.113
So the Suhartos
are even richer now.

01:43:31.240 --> 01:43:34.550
Mike Acosta is ostensibly
dead and buried, and...

01:43:34.680 --> 01:43:36.989
$164 million is still missing.

01:43:37.120 --> 01:43:40.476
And the only question...

01:43:40.600 --> 01:43:42.795
I'm left with is...

01:43:42.920 --> 01:43:45.434
whether or not
you were in on it.

01:43:47.560 --> 01:43:49.790
I...

01:43:49.920 --> 01:43:53.230
- I can't believe it.
- Can't believe what?

01:43:53.360 --> 01:43:56.909
No, look, th-this business...

01:43:57.080 --> 01:43:59.640
had written Mike off
years ago, all right?

01:43:59.760 --> 01:44:01.159
They called his theories crap.

01:44:01.280 --> 01:44:03.191
But...

01:44:03.320 --> 01:44:05.151
there's no way.

01:44:05.280 --> 01:44:07.191
He wouldn't,
he fucking couldn't

01:44:07.320 --> 01:44:09.436
let this be
the last word on him.

01:44:09.560 --> 01:44:13.155
- No fucking way.
- You talking about Acosta or yourself?

01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:26.515
All right, look. We-we-we were
running out of money, right?

01:44:26.640 --> 01:44:29.154
And I was practically dying
from malaria.

01:44:29.320 --> 01:44:31.959
I gave Mike
the last dollar to my name.

01:44:32.080 --> 01:44:34.753
And I made him promise me
something, I said, "Mike...

01:44:34.880 --> 01:44:38.316
don't let me die out here
for nothing."

01:44:43.320 --> 01:44:46.312
A few weeks later,
I came to, and...

01:44:46.440 --> 01:44:48.396
Mike was there.

01:44:52.000 --> 01:44:54.070
He said, "We got...

01:44:54.200 --> 01:44:56.350
"we got a strike, Kenny.

01:44:57.640 --> 01:44:59.995
We got a goddamn gold mine."

01:45:04.520 --> 01:45:09.435
And th-there's no way that
he set out to swindle anyone.

01:45:09.560 --> 01:45:12.199
He just needed
to buy a little more time.

01:45:17.320 --> 01:45:19.356
And he didn't want
to let me down.

01:45:19.480 --> 01:45:23.314
- You're fuckin' lyin'.
- Levine, sit down!

01:45:23.440 --> 01:45:25.192
You want to talk
about the truth?

01:45:25.320 --> 01:45:26.878
All right,
let's talk about the truth.

01:45:27.000 --> 01:45:29.150
The only truth here is,
when everybody's getting rich,

01:45:29.280 --> 01:45:32.078
nobody gives a shit
about the truth.

01:45:32.200 --> 01:45:35.272
Come the fuck on.
All anyone had to do was look,

01:45:35.400 --> 01:45:37.118
open their eyes.

01:45:37.240 --> 01:45:40.312
Man, the-the gold was wrong,
the find was too good.

01:45:40.440 --> 01:45:43.000
There were red flags
everywhere.

01:45:43.120 --> 01:45:44.758
Why did no one look?

01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:46.836
'Cause no one wanted
to fucking know.

01:45:46.960 --> 01:45:48.837
We all wanted to believe.

01:45:48.960 --> 01:45:50.871
Me, you,
fucking everybody. Why?

01:45:52.360 --> 01:45:55.636
Because we were all making
so much fucking money, man.

01:45:55.760 --> 01:45:57.990
That's the truth.

01:45:58.160 --> 01:46:00.833
That's been going on
for fucking centuries!

01:46:02.520 --> 01:46:05.671
Oh, fuck...

01:46:08.720 --> 01:46:11.280
Were you aware Mike Acosta
was salting

01:46:11.400 --> 01:46:13.789
- the Washoe core samples?
- No.

01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:15.353
You had no knowledge

01:46:15.480 --> 01:46:18.313
Mike Acosta
was perpetrating a fraud?

01:46:18.440 --> 01:46:20.795
- No.
- You were not in collusion

01:46:20.920 --> 01:46:23.798
with Mike Acosta
on the Kensana gold strike?

01:46:23.920 --> 01:46:27.833
No, man, I fucking thought
I won the lottery.

01:46:27.960 --> 01:46:31.350
Did you profit
from the Kensana fraud?

01:46:33.680 --> 01:46:36.114
- No.
- Did anyone close to you profit?

01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:40.400
My friends lost money.

01:46:40.520 --> 01:46:42.397
My neighbors lost money.

01:46:42.520 --> 01:46:44.556
Me...

01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:47.240
I lost everything.

01:46:50.120 --> 01:46:52.588
You know
what the truth of it is?

01:46:54.040 --> 01:46:56.190
I never really cared
about money.

01:46:57.280 --> 01:46:59.794
I cared about gold.

01:46:59.920 --> 01:47:02.115
And it's different, Jennings.

01:47:02.240 --> 01:47:04.276
It's fucking different.

01:47:23.320 --> 01:47:26.676
Interview terminated
with Kenny Wells...

01:47:26.800 --> 01:47:29.712
6:45 a.m.,

01:47:29.880 --> 01:47:33.395
October 17, 1988.

01:47:33.520 --> 01:47:34.794
Interview conducted by myself,

01:47:34.920 --> 01:47:37.115
Paul K. Jennings,
special agent.

01:47:37.240 --> 01:47:40.391
Also present,
agents Levine and Banks,

01:47:40.520 --> 01:47:42.397
Federal Bureau of lnvestigation,

01:47:42.520 --> 01:47:44.317
district of Nevada, Reno.

01:47:56.600 --> 01:47:58.716
Mr. Kenny Wells...

01:48:01.640 --> 01:48:03.915
...you are free to go.

01:48:05.600 --> 01:48:08.478
Well, lookee there.

01:48:08.600 --> 01:48:10.830
Somebody believes me.

01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:14.949
I wouldn't go overboard.

01:48:15.080 --> 01:48:18.550
In fact,
I wouldn't leave the state,

01:48:18.720 --> 01:48:21.314
or start buying new stuff
or chartering

01:48:21.440 --> 01:48:23.016
- any more jets.
- I gotta sneak by the guy

01:48:23.040 --> 01:48:24.896
at the front desk 'cause
I can't pay the hotel bill.

01:48:24.920 --> 01:48:27.798
I can't be a party
to that information.

01:48:28.880 --> 01:48:31.155
Good luck, Mr. Wells.

01:48:31.280 --> 01:48:34.238
We'll be keeping an eye on you.

01:48:39.760 --> 01:48:42.069
What are you gonna do now,
Wells?

01:50:03.320 --> 01:50:04.833
Hey, Kenny.

01:50:04.960 --> 01:50:06.480
I-I'm still worried
about that mulberry

01:50:06.560 --> 01:50:08.949
- over the back fence.
- Yeah. I know, Hart.

01:50:09.120 --> 01:50:10.792
It's good to see you.

01:50:10.920 --> 01:50:12.797
Good to see you, too, Kenny.

01:50:43.480 --> 01:50:45.550
Can I come in?

01:51:21.520 --> 01:51:24.034
- You want coffee?
- Yeah, sure.

01:51:29.920 --> 01:51:32.195
This place looks great.

01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:37.995
So do you, Kay.

01:51:42.680 --> 01:51:44.318
I made curtains.

01:51:44.440 --> 01:51:47.034
From that fabric.

01:51:47.160 --> 01:51:48.479
Hmm.

01:51:51.720 --> 01:51:54.314
Some stuff came for you,
some mail.

01:52:43.400 --> 01:52:44.799
What?

01:52:44.920 --> 01:52:47.514
What is it?
