1:22:01
Well, someone could be lying.
Could be lying!
1:22:04
The Spanish were fanatics
for accurate records.
1:22:07
They always had everything checked and
rechecked by some important official.
1:22:11
Here it is again.
1:22:13
What?
1:22:15
" E.F."
1:22:24
Look at that!
1:22:28
What's something like that worth?
1:22:31
I don't know what you got there.
Eight or nine ounces, 22 karat gold.
1:22:35
Good pearls.
1:22:37
Play it quiet, maybe
$7,500 on the market.
1:22:41
Less breakdown and melting costs.
1:22:43
You wouldn't melt it down,
would you?
1:22:45
I wouldn't,
but there are those who would.
1:22:48
The ocean's not a jewelry store.
You don't get no receipts.
1:22:52
Gotta prove it's authentic.
1:22:54
Anybody can see it's authentic.
1:22:55
You don't understand me.
There's a lot of counterfeit.
1:22:59
It's real gold, it's real gems,
but it's false.
1:23:03
You have to establish a provenance.
1:23:06
You gotta find out proof
that it's real.
1:23:09
If we could find a verifying record or
a description of any piece down there...
1:23:14
...that makes it all
worth a bloody fortune.
1:23:18
You wanna have your name on a plaque?
You wanna be a celebrity?
1:23:23
No, there's not enough room
in the Hamilton Library.
1:23:26
I think they could find
a bit of room for you, boy.
1:23:29
Well, it's just possible
there's something else going on...
1:23:33
...but I don't know what it is.
1:23:40
You can beat it out of me,
but it won't do you any good.
1:23:44
I merely need information.
1:23:49
Which brings us, of course,
to your fee.
1:23:54
How much is Treece paying you,
by the way?
1:23:59
I'll pay 10 percent.
