Bullshit.

No f***ing way.

Look for yourself.

Look how the plates roll.

- Hey come on.

- What?

That's it you got

some too right?

I told you.

Another one.

Oh my god!

We sure as hell hit the jackpot!

We need to go get more firewood.

I'll go with you.

Alright.

What are you doing?

Hiding the gold.

You can't be too careful,

even out here.

Well, Anita and Jez have gone to

get some firewood.

We should take advantage

of this time.

Ok.

[Moaning]

What are you doing?

Sending a message to my hunting

buddies.

They'd love it out here.

You won't get any signal.

We're in deep jungle.

Where are we exactly?

Laos.

Laos?

Yeah.

But we'll be out tomorrow.

Vietnam's just upriver.

But that's why we can't stay any

longer, we don't want to get

busted for visas.

Where'd you stash the gold?

It's safe.

Man, I gotta hand it to you.

That was some haul.

To Steve, guys.

To Steve.

Steve.

You think we'll get the

same kind of action

at the old French

mining station?

If the historical

accounts are true

and if they found all that gold,

why not?

What happened to

the French miners?

Maybe they were killed by gold

robbers, maybe disease.

Back in 1889, this place was

wild and dangerous.

There were no clues?

None. No bodies were found.

But what happened to the gold miners

isn't even the greatest mystery.

This jungle is good at

keeping secrets.

What like?

Hundreds of U.S. soldiers and

airmen are still unaccounted for

from the Vietnam War.

Just like Anita's grandfather,

maybe thousands

Many were still alive

when the war ended,

left behind

by the U.S. army

after they pulled

out of Vietnam.

I wonder what happened

to all of them.

They just disappeared.

That's bullshit.

The whole POW thing's a myth.

It's stupid sh*t,

from people who can't let

go of America's glorious past.

My grandfather also served.

He was drafted as a teenager.

You should be more respectful.

Who cares? The world's moved on.

And the families of the

missing haven't.

Hundreds of thousands of North

Vietnamese soldiers are still

unaccounted for.

Nobody's talking about them.

They're still here too.

It must have been tough

fighting out here.

Hunting each other like animals,

trying to blow each

other's heads off.

I'd hate to have been caught in one

of the Viet Cong's booby traps.

Those f***ing bastards were

dangerous with bamboo.

My grandfather was disabled

by a mine. It blew his leg off.

Shhhh...

What is it?

Are you ok?

Someone's out there.

I didn't hear anything.

Hello?

What the hell?

Travel insurance.

Where did you get that?

Ho Chi Minh City.

The guy said it was from

the Vietnam War.

[Scraping Sound]
