Short filmTranscript
00:01I made you three million, uncle.
00:06And you're giving me 50,000?
00:13Kid, don't be greedy.
00:16Know your place.
00:55That rock's changing color.
01:00Gold to bury layers right under this.
01:04Get the sluice box over here.
01:13Jesus.
01:15This one run's got more than yesterday's whole tank.
01:18Sean, nobody in all of Alaska reads the ground like you do.
01:22That three million this quarter, every ounce came from your calls.
01:26Thomas, definitely going to give you a big bonus.
01:41$50,000.
01:42When has your uncle ever short-chanced family?
01:46Good work this year.
01:47Take it.
01:51What's wrong?
01:52You think it's not enough?
01:55Uncle, what did you tell me at the start of the year?
01:57Hit three million, I get 20%.
01:59Now the three million's here, and all I get is 50,000?
02:04Sean, think about your old man.
02:06He spent his whole life as a miner.
02:08When did he ever get this kind of good treatment?
02:10You're lucky you got me.
02:12Keep your head down, do what you're told,
02:16and I'll take care of you just like I always have.
02:18Besides, I paid for the machinery, fuel, and rent.
02:20That's a huge amount of money.
02:21You're basically using my tools for free to make money.
02:25Don't say I didn't warn you.
02:26A man can't be too greedy.
02:29Don't bite off more than you can chew, kid.
02:31Know your place.
02:31That's how you survive out here.
02:35Thank you, boss.
02:36That's right.
02:37Take this money and buy something nice for your family.
02:39Get some rest for a few days, but hurry back.
02:41We've got work to do.
02:55Mr. Carter, regarding your father, Frank Carter's medical condition,
02:58we need another $100,000.
03:02I heard you.
03:11A whole year of hard work, almost died several times,
03:15and I still can't even earn enough to cover his medical bills.
03:19To hell, don't with Thomas!
03:26I'm doing this on my own.
03:38So expensive.
03:39Looks like I'll have to settle for a second-hand washing machine.
03:44Sean, don't have too much fun on your break.
03:47Monday, 6 a.m. sharp.
03:54Honey, aren't you going to sleep yet?
03:57Are you still worried about work?
03:59I'm thinking about something.
04:00You should go to sleep first.
04:18Sarah, this is everything we have.
04:20If I fail...
04:20When have you ever failed?
04:22You've just never won for yourself.
04:26This ring is from when I proposed.
04:28I can't let you...
04:29Sean Carter, listen to me.
04:31You're going to get this ring back.
04:32At ten times the price.
04:35I swear.
04:49I'm looking for a wash plant.
04:50You got anything that runs?
04:52You work for Thomas, don't you?
04:54He makes money off me.
04:56You're the first person to dare challenge Thomas.
05:00I admire you.
05:01I'll take your place.
05:03She used to be my goddess.
05:05Whether she breathes again depends on if you've got the guts for it.
05:18The core of the machine is fine.
05:19I just need to replace some parts and then she'll be ready for me to use.
05:22A real pro, huh?
05:24There's something wrong with your pricing.
05:25The casing is severely rusted and all the parts need to be replaced.
05:29How about 30% off?
05:30My machine isn't some piece of junk.
05:32Sitting here, it's just going to turn into scrap.
05:34But I'll fix it and make it work miracles.
05:38Looks like your determination isn't just talk.
05:42Deal.
05:43That ring, please take good care of it.
05:45I'll come back to redeem it as soon as I've earned the money.
05:50Don't keep her waiting too long.
05:52Kid, don't blame me for being a wet blanket.
05:54You've got the skills and now you've got the machine, but that alone won't be enough.
05:58Every inch of gold ground in this town belongs to one man.
06:02Who?
06:02Duke Harmon.
06:04You want to dig, you got a lease from him.
06:05But he's not easy to get along with.
06:09Where is he?
06:11I'm going today.
06:14I'm going today.
06:24Mr. Harmon, I'm Sean Carter.
06:25I need to lease a claim.
06:28Carter.
06:29Thomas Carter's nephew?
06:31Yeah.
06:32Your uncle know you're here?
06:33That's got nothing to do with him.
06:35So Thomas' hired hand wants to go solo.
06:37All right.
06:38This plot.
06:40No one's struck gold here in a long time.
06:42You want it, I'll lease it to you.
06:44Terms?
06:4670% of anything valuable you dig out goes to me.
06:49Too much?
06:50Door's right behind you.
06:53Deal.
06:54You're either a genius or a goddamn fool.
06:57Either way, this ought to be fun to watch.
07:13You think you can just walk away?
07:16You went to Duke behind my back?
07:20I've spent years training you.
07:23And everything you have was given by me.
07:26Now that you've gotten strong, you're using my money and thinking about betraying me?
07:31Your money.
07:36Thomas, I've made you so much money.
07:38And you gave me 50,000 like I was some beggar.
07:42I deserve a lot more more than you can afford.
07:46Fine.
07:47You think you're going to dig up anything on that marginal piece of land?
07:50Without me, you're nothing.
07:52All you'll find is dirt.
07:54I'll be waiting for you to come crawling back.
08:19This piece of land Duke gave me is in the marginal perma-thross zone.
08:22The soil is hard and stick to anyone else.
08:26It's the worst plot there is.
08:28But I'm not everyone else.
08:54Hey, look at that.
08:56That idiot's digging up mud.
09:07I got it.
09:08Send this to everyone in town.
09:10My nephew's big gold run.
09:17This isn't going to work.
09:18We need to increase the water pressure.
09:21If there's any chance of reaching the deep ore veins beneath the perma-thross...
09:25Are you out of your mind?
09:27How high did you crank that pressure?
09:28You're going to blow the whole thing.
09:30I've modified it.
09:31I believe it can do it.
09:45What the hell is he doing?
09:46What the hell is he doing?
09:47What the hell is he doing?
10:05I'm not going to help him.
10:06What the hell is he doing?
10:07What the hell is he doing?
10:14I've been at this for 40 years, and I've never seen anyone strike gold in a place like this.
10:18You've done one hell of a job.
10:19This piece of land that everyone had written off is dead.
10:21You brought it back to life.
10:23This is the first time I've ever dug up gold that belongs to me.
10:28Is that gold?
10:30He actually hit it?
10:31Impossible.
10:32That ground is dead.
10:33Everyone knows it's worthless.
10:38This is for redeeming my wife's wedding ring.
10:40Kid, there was a time I thought gold mining had lost its thrill.
10:43But now, I want to work alongside you.
10:46Welcome aboard, old Jack, my very first official employee.
10:48This kid, you got nothing but a broke machine right now, and you're talking like you're some big-smining tycoon.
10:52We're going to bury those bastards in gold, Jack.
10:56A hundred times over.
10:58Looks like I'm putting my old life in your hands.
10:59Trust me, I'll take you to dig up more gold than you've ever seen in your life.
11:12This is for redeeming my wife's wedding ring.
11:18But now, I want to work alongside you.
11:20Welcome aboard, old Jack, my very first official employee.
11:22This kid right now, and you're talking, talking like you're some big-shot mining tycoon.
11:36I knew it.
11:37I knew you could do it.
11:38Told you.
11:39Ten times the price.
11:40This is just the beginning.
11:41First thing I earned went to getting your ring back.
11:43First batch sold for $200,000.
11:45After repairs and diesel net profit, $120,000.
11:49This goes to your dad's treatment first.
11:51The rest, I'll save for you.
11:52Every dollar.
11:53A few more batches, and we'll have enough for dad's full surgery.
11:56Go make it bigger.
11:58I know you can.
12:02Another good day.
12:03This week's total is already 20% over last week.
12:07At this rate, in a month, you'll have-
12:08Not enough.
12:10After diesel, maintenance, your salary, what's left?
12:14Enough to keep the lights on.
12:17But not enough to buy my own ground.
12:18I need a claim that's completely mine.
12:20No one taking a cut.
12:21No one who can kick me out.
12:22You just got your feet under you, and you're already thinking about the next move.
12:26Getting my feet under me isn't the goal, Jack.
12:28It's just the setup for the jump.
12:37Duke, it's Thomas.
12:38There's something I want to talk to you about.
12:39It's by nephew's claim.
12:41That's right.
12:42What I'm offering will be a hell of a lot more than the 70% he's given you.
13:04I signed a new lease with Duke.
13:06This ground is mine now, effective today.
13:08I'm giving Duke 85% a lot more than your 70.
13:12Legal, binding, black, and white.
13:20That son of a-
13:21Jack!
13:22Don't.
13:24Move it!
13:25Tag every piece of equipment.
13:27This is Mr. Carter's operation now.
13:30No hard feelings.
13:31It's just business.
13:39Sean, what do we do?
13:45Let him have it.
13:46Without me, all he'll dig up is mud.
13:50Pack everything, Jack.
13:52We're not staying here.
13:54Go where?
14:02Let's go find our own gold mine.
14:03Let's go find out.
14:33I found it.
14:35I actually found a gold mine!
14:48You've been up since last night?
14:50What is all this?
14:51Glacial movement charts?
14:53This is the kind of stuff only geology professors mess with.
14:56See this line?
14:57This is the glacial advanced path from 10,000 years ago.
15:01Glaciers don't move in a straight line.
15:02They deflect when they hit different geological formations.
15:06This is the river system from the same period.
15:09These riverbeds accumulated a lot of gold deposits over thousands of years of flow.
15:14But when the glacier advanced,
15:16it displaced those riverbeds,
15:18pushed them miles from their original position.
15:20Everyone's been prospecting along the original riverbed positions,
15:23but the gold isn't there anymore.
15:24The glacier pushed it here,
15:26buried under 30 feet of clay.
15:27Nothing on the surface,
15:28so everyone assumes the ground is empty.
15:30But 30 feet down,
15:31an entire ancient riverbed with 10,000 years of accumulated gold,
15:34it's all sitting right here.
15:39If you're right,
15:40this is one of the biggest finds in Alaska.
15:43Yeah.
15:44And if you're wrong...
15:46Then we can't even afford diesel for the drive home.
15:53Who owns this ground?
15:54Duke's.
15:55But he's never developed it.
15:57To him, it's worthless dead ground.
15:59You want to lease it?
16:00Not lease.
16:01Buy.
16:02I'm never giving anyone the right to kick me off my own ground again.
16:06How much cash you got?
16:08Every dollar of profit from these months,
16:09plus what Sarah saved,
16:11still way short of Duke's price.
16:12I'd have to mortgage the equipment and use my dad's medical fund.
16:15Barely makes it.
16:16So you're going to go all in every penny you've got on a piece of ground
16:18everyone thinks is worthless,
16:19betting there's a 10,000-year-old river buried 30 feet under it?
16:22Yeah.
16:23You know what, kid?
16:23Guys like you either die on the road or die on top of the mountain.
16:26Either way, it ain't going to be in bed.
16:28When do we go see Duke?
16:30Duke's.
16:43That's it.
16:44That ground of yours.
16:46South End, the undeveloped section.
16:48I want to buy it.
16:52Buy.
16:53Not lease.
16:54Buy.
16:55Permanent title.
17:01I've held that parcel for 15 years,
17:02can't even grow weeds on it.
17:04Sure we're talking about the same one?
17:05That's the one.
17:07All right.
17:08Since you're asking, 300 grand.
17:13Deal.
17:24You're either the smartest man in this town or the dumbest.
17:28You said that last time too.
17:33That kid just bet everything he's got.
17:44Bought the land.
17:45Permanent title.
17:46Nobody can take it.
17:49Money's gone.
17:51What you save, that's gone too.
17:52Account's basically zeroed out.
17:54If I dig down there and find nothing, we...
17:56Sean.
17:57Do you really see it?
17:58The gold under there?
18:01I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
18:04Then dig.
18:05I'll hold things together here.
18:06Don't look back.
18:10Good lord.
18:11Not even a stray dog comes out here.
18:14Right here.
18:1630 feet.
18:17Kid, if we don't hit that riverbed,
18:18we can't even afford diesel for the drive home.
18:20You know that, right?
18:22I know.
18:48Hydraulic system won't hold much longer.
18:50This clay is too dense.
18:51It's eating the machine alive.
18:53How many days can it hold?
18:55Optimistic.
18:56Three days.
19:01Sean.
19:03Diesel for two more days.
19:05After that.
19:12You want to hear something funny?
19:14I'm sitting on the claim he developed collecting gold.
19:17And Sean, he went and bought a piece of ground
19:19that even Duke wouldn't bother with.
19:21Spent every last penny.
19:22My nephew.
19:23Smart kid, sure.
19:24But he doesn't know how the world works.
19:25Talent without resources.
19:27What good is it?
19:29He's been digging out there almost a week now.
19:31Guess what he's found?
19:32Dirt.
19:37Mr. Carter, output's down again today.
19:39I think the pump pressure settings are off.
19:41But I can't figure out how the last operator had it calibrated.
19:44What did you think?
19:49That's a tough one.
19:52One hour later.
19:54Okay.
19:56I was in the house early.
19:57Don't slice it.
20:00Things you go right here.
20:07Huh?
20:12See you guys get on the couch.
20:13I said you'll do something else.
20:36Oh, fuck.
20:39What do you see?
20:46Holy mother of...
20:48Call the hauler.
20:50Get the wash plant to the edge of this pit.
20:54Is that how big is that?
20:58Jack, hauler now.
21:06Forty years.
21:08Forty years I've never seen anything like this.
21:10This one sluice run pulled more gold than most claims produce in a whole season.
21:20Where are you guys hauling from?
21:21That's four trips today.
21:26Forty years.
21:31Forty years.
21:36Forty years.

27:03excavators totaled zero output debt roughly around 600 000 correct
27:10more more or less my fund is acquiring mining rights across alaska your claims have strategic
27:17value based on their location i'll clear your entire debt in exchange you transfer all your
27:24mining rights to my company done no problem
27:30but there's one obstacle
27:36sean i know him better than anyone i can handle it

28:27direction
28:28came from up near the drainage dam
28:30circled around and went back
28:32looks like someone's scoping the area
28:35jack get two guys
28:36starting tomorrow reinforce the dam's core supports
28:39double the concrete pour on the main wall
28:41you think someone's going after the dam
28:43i think someone's testing our weak points
28:45the dam is the most vulnerable part of this whole operation
28:48anyone who wants to shut us down that's the first target
28:51and here
28:52200 meters downstream digging overflow channel
28:56what's parked on that flat ground
29:00don't know
29:01but if someone's planning to hit my operation
29:04i'm not gonna stop them
29:06i'm going to make sure the consequences land on them
29:16go up
29:24not deserve
29:27but if someone wants to stop themfires

36:03oh
36:08so
36:10yeah
36:11so
36:12I don't know.
36:42He came here personally.
36:45Gordon?
36:47Three helicopters, two container trucks, a bunch of guys in lab coats running around with instruments.
36:53Set up a base camp 30 miles outside town, bigger than our whole operation.
36:57And it gets worse.
36:58He cut our diesel and parts supply through his subsidiaries.
37:01A few wash plants already stopped, missing key components.
37:05Crew's getting nervous.
37:06Some are asking if other operations are hiring.
37:10What he's looking for?
37:11His people are all over town, cross-referencing federal geological survey satellite data.
37:16Word is there's an undiscovered supervein deep in the Alaskan interior reserves, potentially dozens of times larger than anything known.
37:22He wants to find it before anyone else.
37:35Diesel supplier says insufficient inventory.
37:38Same with spare parts.
37:38Outputs dropped 40% this week.
37:41If this keeps up...
37:42Get everyone together.
37:45This is my father's life savings.
37:46He passed last month.
37:48I'm using this pay.
37:49Every man here full wages, not a dollar less.
37:51What's left goes to equipment.
37:53Nobody walks.
37:54Anyone wants to leave, go now.
37:56No hard feelings.
37:57But those who stay, you're in this with me to the end.
38:09What is all this?
38:11My dad's found them at the bottom of his toolbox.
38:15These...
38:16Are these hand-drawn geological maps?
38:1840 years worth.
38:20He observed every day, recorded every day.
38:21Rock layers, hydrology, seasonal changes, vein directions.
38:25All in these three books.
38:27Your old man never studied geology.
38:29He didn't need to.
38:30He had 40 years of eyes.
38:36Look at this.
38:37My dad recorded the watercolor of the same river across different years and seasons.
38:41Every spring thawed.
38:43This stretch of river carries trace gold sediment upstream.
38:46In mountains, running northwest from here, ending at an unmapped valley called Raven Creek.
38:52Inside the Federal Protected Zone.
38:54Your dad knew there was something there?
38:56He knew.
38:59But he couldn't verify it.
39:00Old Frank spent his whole life digging for other people.
39:03Kept the biggest secret in his own notebook.
39:07Who are you?
39:09Nate Morrison.
39:11Two years ago, I worked compliance at Gordon Wexler's fund.
39:15I found out he was bribing officials at the Bureau of Land Management, getting access to unreleased geological survey data
39:21to snap up mining rights before anyone else.
39:24I reported it.
39:26Compliance handed my report straight to Gordon.
39:28Next day, I was fired.
39:30I've spent two years collecting evidence, followed him all the way to Alaska.
39:35These are wire transfers to federal full officials, forged survey permits, satellite images of illegal prospecting inside the protected zone.
39:49And what he's looking for, my father found it 40 years ago.
39:53He's using satellites.
39:55My dad used his eyes.
39:56So what do we do?
39:59We get there first.
40:07Your dad marked a few spots here, says they're vain outcrops south end of Raven Creek Valley.
40:12If I were 30 years younger, I'd walk in there and see for myself.
40:15Old Frank, he always knew.
40:19None of these points show up in any public geological survey.
40:22They're two subtle mineralization traces on the rock face that you can spot with the naked eye in specific seasons
40:26under specific light.
40:27Satellites can't pick them up. Drones can't either.
40:30But Gordon doesn't know this.
40:31He's using satellite thermal imaging and ground penetrating radar.
40:34He's already narrowed it down to about 50 square miles.
40:36Give him another week and he'll pinpoint it.
40:38On the legal front, I reached out to a contact at the federal prosecutor's office.
40:41But the bureaucracy needs time.
40:43Three weeks minimums before they can launch a formal investigation.
40:46Can't wait three weeks.
40:48Gordon's helicopters could fly into that valley any day.
40:50I need to get in there.
40:51On foot.
40:52Before his helicopters do.
40:56I'm nothing.
40:56We're going.
40:58You think I've come this far just to sit in camp waiting for news?
41:01Besides, somebody's got to carry the coffee.
41:03I'll stay here.
41:05Keep pushing the legal process.
41:06When you find something, call me on the sat phone.
41:09I'll bring the feds in.
41:27You two heading into the bush?
41:31Raven Creek.
41:32Forty miles.
41:36Drink it when you find it.
41:37If you don't find it, still drink it.
41:39You'll need it more.
41:42These two will help the kid watch your operation.
41:44Go do your thing.
41:57You started everything with this ring.
41:58You're going to bring it back to me.
42:00You hear me?
42:11Your dad's handwriting looks like chicken scratch.
42:15But these cross sections, they're more accurate than anything I've seen from any engineer.
42:21He never studied geology.
42:22Didn't need to.
42:24Forty years of dirt under his fingernails is worth more than any satellite.
42:35Your old man saw what's hidden deepest in this land, but never got the chance to walk in and see
42:40it for himself.
42:41He's here now.
42:52Gordon's people.
42:54They're moving.
43:24Forty years.
43:25This isn't a deposit, Sean.
43:27This is the source.
43:28The mother lord.
43:30Everything we've been pulling out downstream, it all came from here.
43:47Impressive, Mr. Carter, but impressive doesn't mean anything without a claim.
43:51I've already filed preliminary mining rights with the Bureau.
43:55On federal protected land?
43:57Under Anonyxia?
43:58The geological survey data required for that application, you obtained it by bribing BLM insiders?
44:03Your prospecting permit is forged.
44:05Everything you've done inside this protected zone is illegal.
44:07Nate, 64 North, 142 West, south end of Ravencreek Valley.
44:11Gordon is here.
44:11Bring your evidence in the feds.
44:12Get that phone.
44:13And those notebooks.
44:19Get off my land!
44:26Back when I was young and gold mining it, way more dangerous than this, boys.
44:31Next one won't hit the ice.
44:33Tell your boys to put those away, nice and slow.
44:38Mr. Wexler, I signed up for geological research, not for this!
44:41I quit!
44:53I quit!
45:00He's stuck.
45:02Helicopters can't fly this terrain at night, and his bodyguards aren't walking 40 miles
45:07out in this cold.
45:08Neither can we.
45:10Right.
45:12So it comes down to who shows up first tomorrow.
45:16These lawyers are your feds.
45:30Big shot from Wall Street spending the night at 25 below.
45:34That'll make the news.
45:44Dad, I made it.
45:46The place you wrote about.
45:53I can feel it in my bones.
45:56You were right.
45:56You were right.
46:07Your people are here.
46:20We're here.
46:22Federal prosecutor signed the search warrant last night.
46:32Mr. Gordon Wexler, we have a federal search warrant and arrest authorization.
46:35You are expected of bribing federal officials, illegally obtaining classified geological
46:38data, and conducting unauthorized prospecting within a federal protected zone.
46:42Please cooperate with the investigation.
46:49You think you've won?
46:50My lawyers will tear this apart.
46:53I'll be out before the snow melt.
46:56Maybe.
46:59But you won't be tearing apart this valley.
47:17Your old man would have liked this view.
47:27Mr. Carter, the federal government has designated the Raven Creek Supervein as a national strategic
47:31mineral resource.
47:32Under the public-private partnership agreement, your company receives an exclusive 20-year
47:35extraction contract.
47:36All operations will be conducted under federal environmental standards, with profits shared
47:40proportionally with the state of Alaska.
47:45I sold this kid a piece of garbage land for a fortune, and he turned it into an empire.
47:49If that's not the American dream, I don't know what is.
48:10I found it, Dad.
48:12The thing you spent your whole life looking for.
48:18The mountain is mine now.
48:20No.
48:22I own it.
48:23No.
48:24No.
48:24No.
48:24No.
48:25No.
48:26No.
