I trust Pond Ingenie?
2
Here's the right mark.
3
Don't know what you're talking about.
4
Sure you do.
5
You're going slow, plain and safe.
6
Not lifting too much at once.
7
I mean, stop me if I'm wrong.
8
Well, you're wrong.
9
And we're also closed, so.. take off.
10
Victor Sullivan.
11
You can call me Sully.
12
Thank you.
13
I won't, but thank you.
14
I got a job coming up.
15
A big one.
16
I need another set of hands on it.
17
So this is what you do?
18
You stumble in the bars, trying to pick up an accomplice?
19
I'm offering you a real ticket out of here.
20
A chance to see places you only read about in books.
21
What do you say?
22
You missed the read, Victor.
23
I'm not a mark in some bar.
24
And some of us here would really like to go home, so...
25
Get out.
26
Fair enough.
27
Bye now.
28
Hey, Goldie, let me get a beer.
29
Sure.
30
Son of a bitch.
31
Hey, get your head out of your ass.
32
I'm so sorry I didn't see you.
33
Hey, I see Patience ain't your virtue.
34
Surprised to see me?
35
Not even slightly.
36
I made you a drink.
37
Shirley Temple.
38
It's hilarious.
39
In the bracelet?
40
It's in the first drawer there on my desk if you want it.
41
I think you're here because you've got bigger fish to fry.
42
Nah, I'm just here for the bracelet.
43
You done?
44
No. Oof, this looks valuable.
45
Now I'm done.
46
Why the map?
47
Of everything in here, that stopped you.
48
Because it looks like it might be authentic.
49
No, not might be.
50
It is.
51
Holy shit.
52
This line here shows the path that Ferdinand Magellan took to sail around the world.
53
First guy to do it.
54
You know your history.
55
Yeah, only he wasn't the first guy to do it.
56
Magellan died in the Philippines on a random beach somewhere.
57
It was his captain.
58
Juan Sebastian Elcano finished the trip with 17 others.
59
Also known as the infamous 18.
60
I know the legend that his voyage wasn't about exploration.
61
It was about finding that gold.
62
But it's just a story.
63
No. I beg to differ.
64
These trips were hugely expensive back then.
65
The king of Spain couldn't afford it.
66
It wasn't gonna be any trip until a private financier stepped in.
67
House of Moncada.
68
Yeah.
69
Bank rolled the Crusades, the Inquisition, Frank was fascist in the 30s, and just about every horrible thing you can think of.
70
They offered Magellan his grand voyage of exploration, so long as he came back with that gold.
71
How much gold?
72
Today's dollars?
73
Five billion easy.
74
It's the biggest treasure that's never been found.
75
Look, I've been dreaming about this since I was a kid.
76
Somehow you already knew that.
77
You know, Sam said he had a little brother who was just as into this Magellan stuff.
78
I thought there was no way.
79
Wait, you know my brother Sam?
80
Oh, we were practically friends.
81
That's saying something considering the company I keep.
82
Look.
83
Look at him.
84
He has a beard.
85
Where is he?
86
When was this taken?
87
Almost two years ago, San Sebastian, Spain.
88
We were getting close to Cap 'n El Conlo's tomb, but Sam was sure we'd find his journal and ended the location of that gold.
89
Then he disappears.
90
Doesn't call, doesn't answer my text, nothing.
91
He ghosted me.
92
That sounds like my brother.
93
So he hasn't been in touch?
94
Sam?
95
No. Not even a postcard?
96
No, not a postcard.
97
phone call, text message, email, nothing.
98
Look, I don't know what happened between you two, but I think if we find that gold, there's a real good chance we find him too.
99
What do you say?
100
Sam left when I was 10.
101
He would call every once in a while, swore he'd come back, but he never did.
102
Sam that I knew disappeared a long time ago.
103
So, nah, you have to find somebody else.
104
Huh.
105
I'm really losing my touch.
106
I'm going to go to the house.
107
I wish you were here, bro.
108
There's a whole world you haven't seen.
109
But you will.
110
I promise.
111
I'm sorry.
112
Hey, kid.
113
What took you so long?
114
So when do we start?
115
There's an auction coming up.
116
Biggest collection of Spanish Renaissance art and artifacts anywhere this century.
117
One of those items is the Cruz de la Armandade.
118
Well, it's not a cross.
119
It's a key.
120
A key that unlocks the chamber where the infamous 18th hit that gold.
121
Very cool, but the legend said there are two keys.
122
One for the captain and one for the Cruz.
123
So no one man could steal the gold by himself.
124
One key doesn't do us any good.
125
You ever get outside when you were a kid?
126
I mean, how do you remember all this shit?
127
Only one thing.
128
I already have the captain's key.
129
Second one's in there.
130
The Augustine.
131
It's an auction house.
132
It's very exclusive, but I got us on the list.
133
Look, all I need you to do is kill the power during the auction.
134
That'll trigger the main alarm, and then I can do my thing.
135
OK.
136
And how am I supposed to kill the power?
137
Well, shit, that's up to you.
138
I mean, you've got to bring something to the equation.
139
I'm not cutting you in for fun.
140
Actually, that's a good point.
141
We haven't spoken about my cut yet.
142
I assume we're 50 -50, right?
143
50 -50 on what, the gold?
144
Yeah.
145
Are you high?
146
You know, it's been years of my life.
147
You'll get 10 % and that's me being generous.
148
Wow.
149
That's awfully generous.
150
What are you gonna do with that kind of money?
151
You got me shaking in everything You got me breathing like I did again Ah,
152
ah, ah, ah Ah, ah,
153
ah, ah Then I turned,
154
then lights came closer I'm out.
155
I'm sorry.

Who Will Benefit from This Video?
This conversation between Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg is perfect for intermediate English learners aiming to refine their conversational skills, especially for IELTS speaking practice. The natural back-and-forth, casual tone, and mix of direct and indirect speech mirror real-life interactions, making it ideal for those looking to sound more fluent in everyday dialogues. Whether you’re working on shadow speak (repeating phrases aloud to mimic rhythm) or building confidence in spontaneous responses, this video offers a dynamic, engaging practice tool.
Key Words & Idioms to Master
The dialogue is packed with practical expressions that elevate casual speech. Here are standouts:
- "Bigger fish to fry": Meaning more important things to do. Example: "I can’t help with that—got bigger fish to fry today."
- "Take off": A casual way to say "leave." Example: "The party’s over—time to take off."
- "Stumble in": To enter clumsily or unexpectedly. Example: "He stumbled in late, looking exhausted."
- "Son of a bitch": A colloquial exclamation (use cautiously!) expressing frustration or surprise.
These phrases add authenticity to your speech, making you sound more like a native.
Tips to Nail the Pronunciation & Rhythm
To improve English pronunciation using this video, focus on two key elements: shadowing (repeating lines immediately after the speakers) and intonation. Mark Wahlberg’s character, Sully, uses a relaxed, slightly drawling tone with emphasis on key words like "big one" and "real ticket" to convey persuasion. Tom Holland’s character, meanwhile, speaks with quicker, more clipped phrases when defensive ("Well, you’re wrong"). Practice pausing where they pause—notice how Sully uses silence after "Fair enough" to build tension. For best results, use a shadowing site to slow down the audio, then gradually match the original speed. This technique, called shadow speech, trains your mouth and brain to sync with natural English rhythm, a critical skill for IELTS speaking success.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | that's never been found · hasn't been · haven't seen |
| Possibility with “might / may” might/may + verb — something that is possible but not certain | might be |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — something happening right now or around now | you're talking · You're going · I'm offering |
| Future with “going to” be going to + verb — a plan or something you can see coming | gonna be · I'm going to go · gonna do |
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.
