Gold Dust (2020) - full transcript

A traveler,

storm-stained
and brown,

from farthest desert
touched the town.

And striding through the town,

held up above his head
a jeweled cup.

He put two fingers
to his lip

and whispered wild,
he stood a-tip.

And leaned the while
with lifted hand, and said,

"A ship lies yonder dead.

Gold dust sown in sand
along your desert,

dead and brown."



Yeah, I got it.
But hurry.

- No wound!
- Heart attack.

It's cursed.

Before he does.

Listen to this.

"'Lost ship of the desert'
stories first appeared

"after the Colorado River flood
of 1862.

"Eyewitnesses reported
a half-buried hulk

- in an alkali marsh."
- What's an alkali marsh?

"Expeditions were sent out
from Yuma,

"but by the time they arrived,
the ship had disappeared

under the shifting sand
and mud."

What's an alkali marsh?

It's like a...



a dry salt lake.

I think.

"Some accounts match
descriptions

of the legendary lost treasure
ship of King Solomon's navy."

Wow.

Hey, Fink, would you rather be
a smart pig or a dumb dolphin?

Dolphin.

You're a super smart pig,
though.

You could work with computers
if you wanted.

No. Dolphin.

Winters and Wang.

They're not going to beat us
to this one.

Don't you think, Fink? I don't
think they're going to beat us.

More north, Moses.
You're drifting.

Smart pig can drive a car.

He can use the bathroom
and a cell phone.

The dolphin is the dumbest
in the entire herd.

Yeah, I don't care.
I want to be the dolphin.

But everyone makes fun of you
because you're so stupid.

Are you sure
you want that, Fink?

Winters and Wang may have found
every treasure of the southwest,

but they do not find
the lost ship of the desert.

Guess who beats them to it?
Fink and Moses, that's who.

Gold bars in the sand,
jeweled cups, black pearls.

Bags of gold dust.

How many bags of gold dust
did you say, Fink?

On Solomon's ship, 25,000.
Supposedly a pound each.

Twenty-five thousand
bags of pure gold dust?

That's... that's...

Six hundred million dollars.
Give or take.

Moses, pay attention.

Hit it on top.

Hit the horn on top.

Smart pig speaks
at conferences,

knows how to impress
the ladies.

Knows all about
food and wine.

- He's a great writer...
- Hey, hey.

- What?
- Stop, stop, stop.

What?

That draw between
those hills.

- Copper ridge?
- Nope.

- The silver king.
- No, no.

Lost blue bucket placer.

Lost Dutch oven.

The pig is so smart, he could...

But he's a pig!

Were you not listening to me?

I already told you,

he's the smartest pig
in all the land.

But he's a pig, Moses.

I... I hate this game.
It's so dumb.

Why would you say that?

You didn't have to say that.

What's it say, Fink?

It says, "Wide draw,
three-hour walk,"

But from where,
I don't know.

Fink. Tent stakes.

Okay, hang on.

It talks about
an abandoned camp.

Buckets and blankets
and utensils.

It's...

A spoon!

Okay, there ought to be

an 80-foot shaft
somewhere around here.

Fink...

...we're right on top of it.

Maybe for once...

The lost Dutch oven!

We did it. We did it.

We beat them. Open it.

No, you found it.
You should do it.

Winters and Wang, they always
seem to be one step ahead of us.

Why can't we get there
just once before they did?

Hey, Fink, if we found it,
the lost ship millions,

what would you do with it?

One thing, besides marrying
Jody Fairshanks.

Okay, you do that on purpose,
don't you?

It's Joy Lynn Fairbanks.

That's what I would do.

That's what I would
always do.

That was high school, Fink.

She probably got married
a long time ago.

She might have waited.

Do you even know
where she lives?

- Yes, I do.
- You know that how?

Because last time
we were in town,

I looked her up on the...

on the Inter...
cloud thing.

- That's not what it's called.
- Yes.

And I got her address,
which is outside of Las Vegas,

which probably isn't
that far away from here.

Well, that's fantastic, Fink.
What are you waiting for?

Well, she always said

she would only marry a very
successful, rich guy, so...

Hmm. Sorry.

Yeah.

What would you do, Moses?

If we found it,
what would you do?

I'd either become
a big movie star,

or I'd start an orphanage.

I don't think you can just
pay a lot of money

and become a big
movie star.

False. How do you think
they get their parts?

I'll tell you how.

They hire agents
who negotiate fees.

The more money you pay,
the better the role.

Yeah, but if they're always
paying for their roles,

how come they're
so rich?

They're movie stars.
Movie stars are always rich.

You know, this will probably
really impress you.

I happen to know quite a bit
about the movie world.

Okay, hold still.

I was in
The Lord of the Rings.

You were in
The Lord of the Rings?

The first one, in the '70s,
before you and I came out here.

In The Lord of the Rings.

Yeah. I had a small part.
I got fired.

Had one line. I was an Orc.

You were an Orc
in The Lord of the Rings?

Yeah, but I couldn't
get the line right.

There was so much
to remember.

There's a lot of people
on the set,

people moving around
everywhere.

Okay, I'll show you.
Talk like the director.

- Stop moving.
- Wrong. He says, "move."

Actually,
the word's "action."

First they say,
"Quiet on the set."

And then they say,
"roll sound, roll camera.

Action."

So go ahead and say it.

- Say what? "Action"?
- Say all the words.

Oh, my... okay.

Quiet on the set.
Roll sound.

Roll camera. Roll action.

Fear, for the city
is ripe with it.

The city is what?

Ripe.

I don't think
that's right.

It might have been "rife."

But not "ripe."

- Not ripe.
- No.

Or maybe "rank."
But not "ripe."

Okay, let me try it again.
Say all the words.

No, I'm not going
to say that,

because they're all
still rolling.

Fear, for the city
is rife with it.

- Okay, stop.
- What?

I think it would just be,
"the city is rife with it."

You don't have to say
"for the city is rife with it."

That doesn't make sense.

- Not "for"?
- No.

- Okay, let me try again.
- That's fine.

Fear... sorry, sorry.

They're still rolling.
It's okay.

Fear.... can we take it back?

Moses, do you need
a minute.

Yes. No, no,
I'll get it this time.

Okay, fine.

Quiet on the set.

Roll sound.

Roll camera.

Fear, for the city
is with it.

Okay, cut.

- What?
- They weren't rolling.

Can we do it again?

We can, but everyone's
getting tired.

Sorry, sorry.

- Quiet on the set!
- No, no.

You said I was the director.

You don't say anything
until I say "action."

You say "action." I see.

That's right.
So, are you ready?

- Yes.
- Quiet on the set.

Roll sound. Roll camera

- Action.
- Cut!

No, no, you don't say "cut."
I say "cut."

You say action, and I say...

You say your line only.

Wasn't there a backup Orc?

I am the backup Orc.

Okay, that makes...
you know what?

Then we're doing this
once more.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Are you ready?
- Yeah.

Quiet on the set.
Roll sound. Roll camera.

Roll action.

Fear that young money city
is rank with it.

What does that
even mean?

I thought I should
ad lib.

No, you shouldn't ad lib.
You shouldn't.

You should say your one
stupid line.

Okay, let me go
one more time.

No.

- Roll sound.
- No.

- Roll camera.
- No, those aren't your lines.

- Action.
- No.

Fear for that fresh
money city

is ripe and delicious.

Oh, so delicious.

How do I look?

You look good.

But Moses, listen,
if I were you,

I would definitely, definitely
stick with the orphanage idea.

I agree.

Fear.

I've been calling for, like,
one minute, 48 seconds.

Would you turn that down.

Jesus!

So Santa hasn't made it

to the north pole,
Machuca has disappeared,

and not reported in
with my pixie dust.

And this was no small load,
baby.

I'm talking
it was like Christmas.

The sleigh was loaded.

Mm!

That is a snooze, baby.

So, start with Machuca.

No. Take him with you.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't you start.
Don't you start.

I'm not looking at you.

I'm really not going
to look at you, okay?

I'm not going to look at you.

Do him later. Do him later.

I got to take this call.

Moses, listen... "1933,

"Los Angeles librarian
Myrtle Botts

claims to have seen photos
taken by an old prospector..."

Hey, like us.

"...of a serpent-necked vessel.

"Vikings, or Moroccan pirates,

"sailing through a pre-desert
gulf of California.

"Photos were never
authenticated,

but the reports were the same."

Vast amounts of gold dust,
a dry salt lake.

It has to be the same ship.
It has to be.

Hey, would you rather be
a loved toothless wrestler,

or a hated hockey player
with teeth?

We're not doing this today.

And you're drifting south.
We want east.

How come?

Because east is where we think
the ship is.

No, how come
you don't choose

between the wrestler
or the hockey player?

Come on.
No, no, I don't want to play.

- Come on.
- No.

And hold that course,

or I'm going to have to drive.

Loved toothless wrestler,

or hated hockey player
with teeth?

I'd be the hated hockey player
with teeth, okay?

But I would use my teeth
to smile and become loved.

Cheating. You can't do that.

Whoa! Look.

What?

Hey, wait a minute.

That's not on any
of our maps.

Moses, it's salt.

Is this it?

I think this is it.
You think this is it?

This is it, Fink.

Fink!

Get the truck!

What is that?

See it against the rocks?

- What is it?
- I don't know.

Right over there.

Oh, it's somebody.

I got nothing.

Moses.

It's heavy.

What?

What is it?

We should leave it.

No. No, we're not
leaving it.

Then we should
get out of here.

Come on, Fink.

Let him talk. Let him talk.

Where's my money,
Machuca?

You got my pixie dust,
so where's my money?

Oh, and where's my lost boy?

I swear, I swear I left
the money, same as always.

He was dead
when I got there.

Who's dead?

Santa.

Santa's dead?

I told him to no drink
so much tequila.

I told him...

You killed Santa Claus,
Machuca?

Ask the lost boy.
The lost boy knows.

Ask the lost boy.

Okay, let's ask him, huh?

Santa always takes the lost boy
and the flying machine.

I take the dust,

and I leave the money
in the jeep.

- I swear...
- Answer, boy.

He walked hundreds of thousands
of miles into town, Machuca?

I...I don't know. Maybe.

And I'm supposed to believe
this, Machuca, yeah?

That was not my job!

That's not my job.

Because I do, Machuca.

I do believe you.

And that bothers me, Machuca.
You see?

You know why?

Because I don't believe
anyone, Machuca.

I don't believe anyone.

No.

So, for you,

making me believe you...

you're going
to have to pay, Machuca.

I can't have you go on
into town and be like,

"You know, I tell El Guapo
and he believe me."

No. No.

It's nothing personal,
Machuca,

but just next time...

don't be so damn convincing.

Next time, Machuca.

That's a good one.
Next time.

Yeah.

Okay, do you thing.

Baby, you make me
some fresh Parmesan, yeah?

This stuff is stale.

Baby, you said you wanted
to be a stay at home mom

This was stale...

On second thought...

bring him with you.

You never know.

He said.

He said!

How much is it, Fink?

Shh. I'm counting.

Pay attention. I do not want
to get lost right now.

We're not going to get lost.

Fink, would you rather
be a metal detector or a GPS?

Metal detector tells you
where the gold is,

but it wouldn't do you any good
if you're lost.

So I'd be the GPS.

You're not a GPS, so be quiet.

I'm just saying, if I was one.

Wait, are you saying we're lost?

No, but if I were a GPS,

- I might be saying that.
- Okay, well,

you're about as far
from a GPS as you can get.

I'm aware of that.

- I'm saying, if I was one.
- Moses, be quiet

and pay attention.

We do not want
to get lost right now.

Moses. Moses...

We have 310 of these.

- We have 310 of these.
- That's... how much is that?

That's $3,100,000.

We...

Moses, where are we?

What was that?

It was a bat...
I think.

Watching the headlights.

I think it was a bat.
It was a bat.

No, it sounded
more like a cape.

- A cape?
- On a guy.

- Like a bad guy.
- No, Moses, look at me.

Hey...

The bees out here make honey
in the carcass of a dead animal,

and these bats, they just follow
the bees to the blood honey.

So the dead Santa guy...?

Oh, yeah. Lots of honey.

I'm sorry I got us lost,
Fink.

Maybe we should just
camp here till morning.

No, we can't.
Whoever lost this money

is going to come
looking for it.

So the sooner we get
out of here, the better.

Okay, okay. I just don't know
which way to go.

Well...

southwest.

How do you know
that's southwest?

Venus and Jupiter.

What would I do
if I didn't have you

- to do all the thinking?
- Thank you, my man.

What are... why are you...
why are you doing that?

Money.

Fink and Moses
are rife with it.

I did it!

That was pretty good.
Now pay attention.

I did it first try.

Because you weren't
overthinking it.

I focused on the cash.

Now focus on where
you're going.

And I totally,
totally nailed it.

Hey, now that we're rich,

maybe I could become
an actor again.

No, Moses. That's not a...
that's not a great idea.

I bet I could buy
a super-good part...

Hey, look out!

She's alive.

- What do we do?
- Where'd she come from?

How's a kid end up...
what are you doing?

We got to help her,
right?

- I'll get the door.
- Get the door.

I'll drive.

Grab her legs. Grab her legs.

She's breathing. Maybe I just
barely squished her.

She's a cute kid.

Wow, look at that moon.

Fink, have you ever seen
a moon like that before?

Moses...

I've never seen
a moon like that.

Moses, I do not care
about the moon right now.

She's cute. Don't you think
she's cute?

- The moon?
- The kid.

How does a kid wind up
out here alone?

Hey, Fink, would you rather be
a super-rich famous movie star

with no kids,

or a poor nobody
with a kid?

How does that even happen?

Simple. They put too much
focus on their career,

and before you know it,
they're old.

Moses, how does a kid
wind up out here alone?

The dead Santa guy, maybe?

I don't know about that,

but I'm taking the poor nobody
with a kid.

Which one are you
taking, Fink?

I'm not taking either,
because I'm not playing.

We're not doing this right now.

Does the poor nobody
have a wife?

No wife.

Okay, then I'm taking
the movie star,

because at least then I could
get Joy Lynn to marry me.

Ah, but you couldn't
have kids.

No kids ever?

Never.

Then...

I don't want to play right now.
I'm not doing this.

I'm taking the poor nobody
with a kid.

Hey, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

I know where I am.

What are we doing?

- Fink...
- Shh!

Why are we looking at our house?

Moses, our house is the only
thing out here for 100 miles.

What do you bet whoever lost
that money starts right there?

Wouldn't they start out
by the truck and the plane

where the money was?

That's a good point.

I didn't think of that.

You're probably right.

All this money and the kid
got me ruffled.

- Fink...
- I turned them right off, okay?

Was just for a second.
Maybe they didn't see.

Think they can hear the engine?

- Fink...
- Moses,

would you let me get us down
this mountain?

Fink, she's waking up.

Agua.

...por favor.

No, wait.
No, we wouldn't do that.

Yeah, yeah, we're your friends.
We want to help you.

Do you speak English?

Did El Guapo send you?

Who?

The Handsome One?

- Does she mean you or me?
- No, no.

The drug cartel boss
in Mexico.

Doggone it. Stop.

How do you know
about El Guapo?

I belong to him.

- They might have heard that.
- Doggone it.

What are you doing?

Right now,
what are you doing?

No killing until you find
my money and my lost boy.

Okay? And then you can have
a slaughterfest for all I care.

Come on, make it happen!

How long do we
have to wait?

I don't know.

He should be here by now.

Do you think the handsome one
killed the guy in the truck?

And who do you think
was flying the plane?

I admire that guy.

You admire a drug dealer?

The pilot's
not the dealer.

He's probably some guy
just like us,

trying to do
something great.

Moses, flying drugs
over the border is not great.

Flying a plane
in the dark

without navigation
or bathroom or snacks

is brave and great
in my book.

Hey, Fink, would you rather
do something

really brave and great
just once,

or live in a palace with
all the money in the world?

There's no way I'm doing
to do this right now.

You know what I think?

I think every person
comes into this world

with special particles
built into their DNA.

Like pixie dust.

Pixie dust.

Doctors can't see it,

because it doesn't fall into
the laws of the physical world,

like flesh, or blood,
or bone, or time.

What's the word of something
beyond time?

Eternity?

I think there are sparkling
particles of eternity

banging around
inside each one of us,

and they're programmed
before we're even born

to do something great
and true and wonderful.

And each person's particles
are specific just to him.

This is all
just coming to me, Fink.

You want to hear
something amazing?

For the first time
in my life,

I know what my dust particles
are programmed to do.

You want to hear?

- No.
- I'm supposed to save this kid

and bring the handsome one
to justice.

I know it.
I was made for it.

It's kind of like my orphanage
idea, but different.

It's perfect.

The dust, it always
speaks the truth.

What are your dust particles
saying, Fink?

What say you?

I don't have dust particles.

Oh, come on.

And you do wanna do something
more in your life

than just find
a ton of money.

Or more than just wanting
to marry that girl

who gave you her photo
a long time ago.

Joan Fairmont.

It's Joy Lynn Fairbanks.

You know that.

Of course I wanted
to do something great.

Everyone does.

I wanted...

I wanted to win her heart.

That's the great thing
I wanted to do.

Well, that's okay.

I thought about how to do it
for a long time.

I practiced at home,

in the shower mostly,
for months.

And I really thought
I was ready, I really did.

I...

I knew I had it in me.
I knew I did.

I knew I could do it.

Do what, Fink?

Sing, opera.

Really great classical opera
at the school talent show.

Something was telling...

maybe it was your magical
little dust devils,

but something
was telling me.

I had this amazing operatic
voice inside of me,

and all I had to do
was trust it,

and open my mouth,
and let it out.

And I truly believed

that once I started singing,

Joy would look up at me,

surprised,

and her heard would melt
with love for me.

And we'd live
happily ever after.

Did you ever sing?

Uh...

yeah, I did.

I walked up
on that stage

and the music started,

and I found where
she was sitting,

in the back with a boy,

and I looked
into her eyes

and I pointed right at her.

And I sang an Italian
opera song.

I didn't know
you spoke Italian.

I don't. I just learned
the words to one song.

It didn't matter, though.
Everyone started laughing,

and pretty soon I couldn't hear
myself over the music.

I ran off stage before
the music ever finished.

Joy ever say anything?

Not really.

I mean, she and the boy

ran into me in the hall once,

and they both pointed at me,
the way I had pointed at her,

and started laughing.

I never won her heart, Moses.

I never did.

I listened to your magic dust
and I failed.

Well, maybe you just
didn't sing loud enough.

- Maybe you didn't sing long enough.
- No, No No!

I failed.

Sometimes your stupid magic dust
is wrong.

- But...
- No, no, no. Shh, shh.

They're kids.

With guns.

No, no, no.

What are you doing right now?

What are you doing?
Are we driving right now?

Let's go, make it happen.

Fink, you should
offload some of the cash.

You could come back
for it later.

No way. Everyone tries that,

they never find it again.

Hey, kid, I just realized,

we don't know your name.

Maggie.

That's a good name.

My name's Moses,
and that's my best friend Fink.

You sure you don't want
to get on my shoulders?

It's okay.

I still think we make
for the dry lake bed,

take the dead guy's truck
and get out of there.

Moses, there's no magic trail
that takes us back to that lake.

It was a fluke
we found it once.

No. We got to
the silver reef mine.

You got phone service there
once, remember?

We call for help,
we hide and we wait.

I don't like that mine.
It gives me the creeps.

It's like a tomb. It's got bats.
I don't like it.

That's too bad.
That's where we're going.

I don't like bats.

Maggie.

Maggie, come on.

Seriously?

What do you call that?

Bullshit,
that's what I call it.

Now, I want you to look me
in the eye, mijo,

because this
is going to be

the last thing you see

before I rip out

your eyes.

Comprende, mijo?

So guess what?

We're gonna do it again.

We're gonna... hey, you get back
here or I will fry you in oil.

I think I need a man trip.

Maybe Miami.

Rocco's Tacos.
Loud music, yeah!

Did you use fresh limes?

Because that's what
a stay-at-home mom does.

She uses the fresh limes.

Do you think I have ADD?

Okay,

everybody get back here,

or else nobody's getting
a Popsicle ever again,

and I promise I will
shoot you both.

Now, let's go.
Let's dance. Yeah!

One of the men is grande.

We don't
know if they have weapons!

They are prospectors.

They care solamente
for the gold.

Even if they have weapons,

they have no idea
cómo usarlos.

They are no match for me...

You're both greedy
little varmints. Mira.

If we travel all night,
we could have them by morning.

Vámonos.

Anything?

No. I sent some texts to Pete

with the Bureau
of Land Management.

He's the only one
who's ever out this far.

And my mom, of course.

You never know.
They might go through.

Hey, Fink, how come you never
got a phone?

I don't need a phone.
You have a phone.

No, no, no.
No, we have to be careful.

Ah. I don't think so.

Do you have any food?

Santa ate all the food.

I have a protein bar.

Wait. Santa?

Is he the guy in the jeep,
at the lake?

He always drives us
back home.

Where's home?

The hotel in Mexico.

So, who flies
the plane?

I do.

You fly the plane?

El Chon teaches us
when we're young.

I learned two years ago.

El Chon? What does that mean?

A big old guy.

He works for El Guapo
at the hotel.

He guards all
the children.

There are other children
at the hotel?

Lots. El Guapo
steals children.

American children, usually.

Makes it easier
to cross the border.

I don't remember
when he stole me.

And... and all the kids
fly for Guapo?

We try, but a lot crash,

so they always need
more children.

What if a kid can't fly?

All lost boys fly.

That's what Guapo
calls us.

He says the pixie dust
makes us fly.

Pixie dust?
Are you hearing this, Fink?

What do you mean,
pixie dust?

Magic dust.
That's how we fly.

They put it in bags and tie it
to the bottom of our plane.

They tied a lot to mine
on this trip.

It was very heavy.

El Guapo says the more
pixie dust you have,

the safer you are.

But I don't think so,

because I couldn't fly
very high.

Do you have any water?

Magic dust?
This is no coincidence.

And my magic dust
is telling me

I'm going to save
all these kids

and kick El Chapo's
buttocks.

- It's Guapo.
- I'm coming for you,

big handsome one.

Stop yelling.

Chon is the big one.

Guapo is the handsome one.

You're both big,
ugly jackasses in my book.

El Guapo says as long
as you have the magic dust

you can't cry.

But some lost boys still do.

I don't think
it's real pixie dust.

We got to save her, Fink.

- We got to.
- Yeah, I know.

Promise me we're going
to save her.

I promise.

That was the last of the water.

I know.

Fear.

The big handsome one
is rife with it.

Oh, hell, what have they got
themselves into now?

I got service.

Maggie?

They're here.

Who's here?

The ones who take the children.

Shh.

Listen.

Get her, quick.
Get in the mine.

They were
here last night. We just missed them.

They
can't be that far. Let's hurry!

My mom.

In the mine!

Do you speak English or Spanish?

We know you are in there.

We know about the Lost Boy.

What did he say?

They know we're in here.

And they know about her.

Give back the girl to
us, and we will not harm you.

He said they won't hurt us
if we send her out.

The hell-

Shh! Shh!

Would you stop?

They're not taking her
while I'm still standing.

Tell them we'll trade
for the money.

Tell them, Fink.

Uh...

We do not
want any harm to come to the girl.

Did you tell them?

I told them.

We have no
wish to see the girl harmed either.

But we
do intend to take her with us.

He doesn't want the money.

He just wants her.
He said he wouldn't hurt her.

Like we can believe that.

I think he means it.

Well, does he know
how much money is there?

Did you tell him?

Tell him, Fink.

We care
about the girl... a lot!

I have given my
word, but I will waste no more time.

He doesn't care how much it is.
He said he just wants her now.

Oh, yeah?

It's okay.

I'll go.

I'll be all right.
I will.

And you've been
so nice to me.

I'll leave you a trail.

Thank you, Mr. Fink.

Thank you, Mr. Moses.
I will never forget you.

Would you leave it?

There's no time.

Look, he comes.

He just spoke English.

And we gave her up.

They were going to kill us.

I don't care.

We gave up a little girl
to save our own skins.

Wait.

What's that sound?

I don't care.

Moses...

Moses.

- Moses, get up.
- I don't care.

Get up. Run.

This is as deep as it goes.
We're trapped.

Leave it!

Would you leave it?

Come on.

Look, they left a bike.

Fink, what are you doing?

Taking his keys.

Good idea.

No keys.

Aah!

Face me!

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Hey, don't touch that.

Don't you touch that.
Leave that alone.

Fink, I got it.

I see your face.

I see your face.
I'm memorizing your face.

And you know what's going to
happen when I memorize your...

Come on, get on, get on.

Oh!

- Do you see him?
- Not yet. I can't get any speed.

We're going to have
to ditch the cash.

- No!
- We don't have a choice.

I'm not ditching the cash.

- We'll split up.
- What?

We have
a better chance.

We're not
splitting up.

- Just dump the bag.
- Never! Drop me there.

- Up ahead.
- No, I don't want to.

- Moses, stop, stop!
- No, I don't want...

Look, half of this
is yours.

I don't want it.

Let's just leave it.

Nothing good has happened
since we found it.

Now we're talking about
splitting up.

- It's bad luck, Fink.
- No, listen, listen.

I'm going to hide it somewhere,
then we'll meet up back in town.

- I'm not going back.
- What do you mean you are going back?

I'm not going back
until I find Maggie.

That's my new quest.

That's what my magic dust
is telling me to do.

I can't go with you.
I'm sorry, but I can't.

What are you going to do?

He's going to be here
any minute, so you got to go.

Go. And...

goodbye, Moses.

You're the best and only friend
I ever had, Fink.

So this is not goodbye, okay?

We're going to see each
other again soon, I promise.

As soon as I find her.

- I hope so.
- I know so.

You know what I just realized?
I don't know your first name.

- Oh...
- Wait, I do.

From the photo.

It's Troy.

No, it's Jules.

But the photo...

Jules?

Yeah. Not Troy.

Well, Jules is a great name.

I don't know
your first name either.

It's stupid.

That's... Stupid
is your Christian name?

Delbert.
It was my dad's name.

Oh. Delbert. Well, that actually
works with Moses.

Be careful.

You too.

Jules, would you rather be...?

No, not right now.

- Would you rather be a...?
- Moses, don't do this.

- Jules, would you rather be a...?
- Moses, stop!

I'd rather be you.

I'd rather be you.

Jules, the dust is never wrong.
Don't forget it.

You do have a great opera voice
in there somewhere,

whether that girl
noticed you or not.

You do. You do. You do.

And if you ever get a chance
to sing again, you got to do it.

Promise me you're going
to do it.

Say, "I promise."

I promise.

Opera!
Jules Fink is rife with it!

Look, he's coming. Go!

Go now.

I love you, Jules Fink!

Do not test me.

Okay.

Move.

You found my trail.
You found it.

I knew you'd find it.

You trust this one?

Okay, what's going on?

Give him water.
Fetch his bike.

Leave no trace
for the dancing one.

Sit.

Oh yeah...

Are you dead, bro?

Thought you were
KO'd there, man.

Need a lift?

Climb in.

- Water?
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, easy, bro.

- Thank you.
- No worries, dude.

We're just headed
back to civvie.

As in, -lization.

Are you good with that?

Thank you, yes.
Thank you.

Right-o.

Like I was saying,
the Canyon of Sorrows.

Navajo territory.

- No.
- Yes. One mile across.

Dude.

Figured I needed
a half-mile running start.

So I lowered my goggles
and hammered it.

- No.
- Yes.

But I didn't quite clear it.

No.

I lost
consciousness on impact man!

Dude.

I broke my femur, ankle,

humerus, my scapula,
my clavicle,

my pelvis.
a lot of ribs,

and I was bleeding from
somewhere deep within, man.

- Whoa.
- But you know what?

- What?
- I caught massive air!

Yeah, that's what
I'm talking about.

I broke every vertebrae
in my body.

- Bro!
- Had a steel rod

inserted into my leg.

No!

- But you know what?
- What?

I caught massive air.

Yeah.

Boulder dam dude, 2006.

Awesome.

Impossible, you say?

Perhaps so. Let's see.

Later, dude.

Dude, I broke every bone
in my body.

- But you know what?
- Say it, bro.

I caught massive air!

That's perfect.

Hello?

Is someone here?

May we assist you, sir?

Uh, I saw the sign. I...

I thought this was a...
was a...

I need a suit.

Finest tailors in the valley.

But I need it
very quickly.

And I need to look very
successful,

Hmm.

and very rich.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

You're Winters and Wang.

Finest tailors
in the valley, sir.

But... but we're
treasure hunters too.

We followed
you guys' career.

My partner and I,
we were right behind you.

Uh, behind us, sir?

On your trail.

I mean, you guys found the...

Treasure of Cabeza de Vaca?

Yes. You found that.
And the...

- Mesa of the Bulls.
- Right, you found that one as well.

And also, the...

- Lost Nugget Mine?
- Yes. Yes, you found that one.

- And...
- The lost Dutch oven.

Yeah. Yeah.

You guys found them all.

We found nothing, sir.

But... but that's impossible.

You guys are legendary.

We are but humble tailors, sir.

No, no, we... we kept
all the pictures.

We read all the articles.

- Yeah, we were paid, sir.
- A small stipend, really.

To pose for the pictures
in the desert.

But... but the treasure...

Yeah, not real,
I'm afraid.

No, we saw the gold.
We saw the jewels.

Fake, sadly.

Yeah, it was Midas Master Metal
Detector's idea.

- Using average men like us.
- You know, everyman.

- Any man.
- They thought if they convinced

other people
we could find treasure...

Then anybody
could find treasure. Ha!

And the sales of the Midas
Master 3000 would go up, up, up.

But... but...

I'm just going to get
your inseam here, sir.

I'll go ahead and do your neck,
that's my favorite to measure.

- Arm up, please.
- Oh, wow, I'm doing his chin.

That's a 16.

I was the first to escape.

I wandered many days
in the desert

before finding help
from good people.

And me.

Over time, they helped us
build a camp.

Trailers and gasoline,
many miles from here.

How many of you
are there?

Seven in all.

And three watch over the camp.

Why gold balloons?

A signal.

When the lost boy sees it
they know we're near.

Will more children
fly in?

Yes. Tomorrow,
next week, next month.

We don't know when.

El Guapo changes
the landing spot every time.

So we find very few.

The next lost boy could land
hundreds of miles from here.

No, our only hope
of rescuing all the children

is to attack
the hotel itself.

If we can cross that safely,

the trail becomes very rocky
and narrow.

The dancing one would have to go
around that mountain range.

Who's the dancing one?

El Guapo's most prized
possession.

They say he can follow
even the dead.

He is ruthless and terrible.

He has no weakness,

and he cannot be defeated.

If we make it to Mexico,

we'll find the hotel
heavily guarded.

We will need more men.

Fink will help us.

Your friend
isn't coming back.

Sure he is.

Hang on,
you don't know Fink.

Your friend has the bag of cash
from the truck, yes?

Yeah.

Once a man has embraced
that much cash

and claimed it as his own,
he cannot release it.

That's not true.

He offered to give it up.

I mean, how about that?

He tried to give you
all the cash

so we could keep Maggie.

Mr. Moses, you don't
speak Spanish, do you?

Me español super bad.

Your friend never
offered us the money.

But I told him
what to say.

He said nothing
about the cash.

He only asked that we not
harm the child.

But...

He had no intention
of giving up that money.

He gave up the child,

and he had no way
of knowing we were friends.

He would have given up you too.

That's impossible.

We should leave it.

No. No, we're not
leaving it.

Fink, you should offload
some of the cash.

You could come back
for it later.

No way. Everyone tries that,

they never find it again.

Leave it!

Fink!

Would you leave it?

We're going to have
to ditch the cash.

- No!
- Just dump the bag.

Never!

You know this to be true.

Get some rest.

We'll move again at nightfall.

You'll need this.

Make it happen. Ah!

Make it happen.
Make...

What are you looking at?

Huh? What are you
looking at?

There we go.

That's the face
I'm looking for, baby.

Let's go, mijo,
make it happen.

Let's find my money,
find my lost boys,

and make it happen.

Hello?

You haven't changed at all.

Not at all.

Sorry?

Joy Lynn Fairbanks?

Oh. No.

Hey, Ma.

Can I help you?

Babe, you better
get down here.

Joy? Are you... this...

Do you remember me?

No.

From high school.

No.

You're not Troy Davis.

No, I'm Jules Fink.

I gave this to Troy,
not you.

Troy threw it away.
I've kept it ever since.

And I want you to know that
I've become very successful.

And, as you can see,

very rich.

And I know this is sudden,

but I was wondering
if you would consider...

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You're the kid that sang.

You're the kid that sang.

It's you, isn't it?

Honey, you got
to see this.

He sang in front
of the whole school.

It was so bad.

He can't sing...

he can't sing...

Hey, were you going
to sing again?

Hey, you got to hear this.
Go ahead. Go ahead.

Remember me?

Yeah, you do.

Ah.

Were you going to propose, huh?

Yeah. Well, I think this
is a little bit small, yeah?

Aww.

Ah, and I see...

you brought my money back, huh?

Is this all my money?

Wait, that feels
a little bit light, right?

I think that feels...
I think that feels light.

So did you use
some of my money

to buy that ugly su-

actually, that suit's
not too bad, huh?

And... what about the ring?

Did you use my mon-

don't lie to me,
don't lie to me.

Did you use my money
to buy that ring?

Did you? Yeah.

And then... up, up, up.

And then you have the nerve
to show up to one of my homes,

and then you want to ask
one of my wife...

I mean, my only wife, baby.

Mwah, mwah, I love you.

...to marry you?

Get up.

Get up. Let's go.

Now, we both know

that if my favorite family
wasn't here right now,

you'd already be dead, yeah?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, we both know you would.

So, you're going to give
something a little special

Yeah. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah!

Go bye-bye now!

Now you go bye-bye.

Baby, give me that oil.

The real good stuff,
for the body.

You're the best
and only friend I ever had.

Did you tell them?

I told them.

I'm supposed
to save this kid

and bring the handsome one
to justice.

The dust is never wrong.
Don't forget it.

I'd rather be you.

I love you, Jules Fink!

No.

I'm coming, Moses.
I'm coming.

Come in quietly.

Someone's here.

No!

Aah!

Come on.

No, no, no, no.

Moses!

Moses! Where are you?

Where are you?

Please, please help me.

Please.

No, no. I don't care
about that anymore.

I just want to find my friend.
Please.

If you hurt her...

Pig.

I'll kill you!

Varmint!

Hello?

Hello, please answer.
Is someone there?

Hello?

Hello?

Can someone hear me?

Hello?

Is someone listening?

If you can hear my voice,

my friend needs help.

He's my best friend,

and if something happens to him,
I got nothing.

I got nothing.

Hey, I know this song.

Oh, you got to be kidding me.

And if you ever get a chance
to sing, you got to do it.

Promise me you're going
to do it.

This is my chance.

I promised. I promised.

What's that?

Kill him. Kill him, mijo.
Kill him.

Sing, Jules Fink. Sing.

You shut up.

Sing. Sing. Sing. Sing.

You shut up. You sh...

Sing. Sing. Sing!

Sing. Sing. Sing.

♪ Crème brûlée ♪

He's remembering.

Sing, Jules Fink.

Sing!

The kids...

Mijo, what's
happening right now, mijo?

What's happening right now,
mijo?

Come on, get up.
Let's go.

Got some killing to do.
Come on, let's go.

Make it happen.

Let's make it happen, yeah?

There we go.
That's my boy.

Get up, here we go.
Wait.

Wait a second,
what are you doing?

No, no, no, mijo.
Come on, put me down.

No, no, no, no...

Bye! Bye!

Hello? Hello?

Is anyone there?
