Black Sea
And we want you to know
that this has nothing,
nothing at all,
to do with your performance,
which is exemplary, by the way.
Look, the business has changed.
Marine salvage has changed.
We don't need
We don't even need a sub.
Now, you've never been on contract,
so redundancy,
well, that's out of the question.
But I spoke to Bob Toris personally
and he has insisted
that Agora make sure
that there's something for you.
And I'm pleased to say
that we can offer you
a settlement of 8,640.
I mean, have you got a pension?
Like a private pension?
I've been with Agora for 11 years.
I've been working
on submarines for nearly 30.
I lost my family to this job.
They... They'd like you
to clear your desk.
Today.
And before your last job,
you were in the navy for 15 years?
Aye.
Why did you leave?
I disagreed with someone.
F*ck-shit.
Yeah. That's some kind
of f*ck-shit, all right.
Kurston, you okay?
What?
You look rough.
Yeah, no, I'm...
They've put me on these tablets.
Antidepressants.
Said... they'll balance me out.
You all right drinking, then?
It helps.
I can't believe
I can't believe it.
It's a joke.
I mean, when they fired Kurston, okay,
he fat useless f*ck.
No offense, man. No offense.
Yeah, yeah, suck my arse.
But fire man like you, f*ck-shit.
They want me to flip burgers.
Fuckers.
When I was young,
Now I think only money.
You're dog shit in this wonderful world
without money, my friends.
I saw Martin yesterday. My boy.
He's 12 now.
Saw him across the road, like.
Posh school. Nice house.
My own son being brought up by some
rich f*ck I've never even met.
How's Chrissy? How she look?
Good. She looks good.
We don't have to take this shit.
We don't have to take this shit.
What the f*ck you talk about?
I think I know a way
to... not be like this.
I know a way to get money.
Their fucking money.
But I can't do it, see.
I've not got the skill.
It needs you, Robinson.
It needs a man like you.
You could do it.
Just before Agora fired me last year,
I went out with them to the Black Sea.
We found something.
You're late. And you look like shit.
Where the f*ck is Kurston?
He called me this morning.
He's not coming.
What do you mean, he's not coming?
He's sick.
He's sick?
God damn it. Well,
he'd better have cancer.
All right, listen to me.
Do exactly as I say.
Nod, be nice, don't be a fucking idiot.
Don't elaborate unless he asks.
Don't say anything
that you don't have to, okay?
Don't ask him his name.
And please, please, whatever you do,
do not ask him how much
Sir, this is Robinson,
the man I told you about.
What's your name and how much
are you going to invest in this?
So, in 1941,
Nazi Germany came close
At that time, the Soviets were neutral,
but Stalin was terrified
that Germany was going to invade,
so Hitler used this and demanded
a loan from Russia.
80 million reichsmark in gold.
Now, nobody knows what happens next
because weeks later,
Hitler broke the nonaggression
pact and invaded Russia.
Four years of war, 20 million dead.
But in the '50s there's rumors
that started to circulate
in the highest ranks of the Politburo
that Stalin had complied
with the request,
that Hitler had sent a U-boat,
Stalin had stuffed it with two tons
of gold and sent it on its way.
But the gold never arrived,
and Hitler invaded.
- So...
- So everybody forgets about it.
But in the '80s,
