We found it. Is the gold there?

Talk to me.

We're in an old Roman storehouse.

It's gotta be at least 2 ,000 years old, and there are these giant urns that are like...
74
eight feet tall.
75
Are they intact?

I think we have a problem.
92
Chloe?
93
They use salt to store food, but...
94
I don't know why they put the...
95
What's happening?
96
No. It's gotta be here.
97
Yeah, why all the tricks?
98
Answer me, guys.
99
What do you got?
100
The gold's not here.
101
Oh my God.
102
Why?
103
What is it?
104
They never brought it back.
105
The path to the gold starts here in Barcelona, but it ends somewhere over here in the East Indies.
106
Hey, Chloe.
107
Give it to me.
108
You're kidding, right?

Nate, what's going on down there?

Sully, I got this.
115
If you don't have to do this, okay?
116
Don't.. try anything.
117
You can trust me.
118
Just put the gun down.
119
You have no idea who you partnered with, do you?
120
You don't even really know what went down.
121
Went down with what?
122
Sam. Who do you think?
123
What are you talking about?
124
Ask Sully.
125
No, no, no, no. No. Chloe, please tell me what happened to my brother.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
