Mommy?

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Where are you!

Over there is fine.

Ruth? It's Paulina.

Patch me through to Morgan.

Paulina, how was your flight?

Long.

Did you get the

email I sent you?

Great location, lots

of red tape, though.

I can get us through it.

I'm sure you can.

But Thomas won't go for

anything, unless he knows

exactly what he's getting into.

I'll get him the specs on

every inch of this place.

Try to enjoy yourself,

it's a tropical island

for God's sake.

I'll relax when

I have your office.

Slow down.

I might have another

year left in me.

Did you put in a

good word for me?

Every chance I get.

You know, take care of

yourself, and keep me posted.

Okay, Morgan. See you.

(speaking in foreign language)

Welcome to Resort

Saipan, my name is Tony.

And here are your Bojobo dolls,

This, a gift from the

natives of Saipan.

Depending how you place them.

Different wish.

This is for children.

Gracias, that will be all.

Adios.

Enjoy your stay in Saipan.

Coffee?

Yes. Please.

Coffee. Cream,

no sugar, to go.

Good memory.

Any sign of Dave?

Yeah. He's out shooting

the cargo ships coming in.

Hey, did your brother get

back to you this morning?

Yeah. He did.

Thanks for asking.

I'm sure it's all

going to work out.

Everything will be alright.

We all got to grow

up sometime, right?

That's Alan.

Paulina.

Hi.

Hey, Alan, this is

my associate, Tyler.

He's my architectural

consultant.

Tyler!

Great to meet you.

Well, I'll go, find Dave.

- So How are...

- You want some coffee?

Sorry.

No, I'm fine.

Dave!

Hey.

Long time no see.

Paulina. Great to see you.

It's good to see you.

How's island life

been treating you?

Amazing as ever.

Hey Tyler.

I picked up this shirt in Tokyo.

What does it say?

(speaking in foreign language)

"I am America's

number one pervert."

Son of a b*tch.

The sales person said it

was a very funny shirt.

It is.

Impressive at

reading Japanese,

can't be an easy

language to master.

My pronunciation's for

sh*t but I can stumble

through a conversation.

Me, I prefer to

speak dollars and cents.

The language the whole

world understands.

You know what I mean?

Shall we?

Hey, what are they

protesting about?

Yeah, the property we

are headed to, actually.

Shouldn't worry.

Natives never go

anywhere in there.

Wait 'till you see this place.

It's beautiful.

It's 20 acre that you got.

Pepe, what the hell is this?

You don't like it?

All good vans taken.

Plus, you always say

to save money, boss.

My cousin give us good deal.

Just help them with their stuff.

Okay, okay. Got it.

Um, it's,

Yeah. It's good.

Thanks.

Seems odd that the locals

are protesting the sale

but they never go there.

During World War II, some

of the natives went missing,

probably worked to

death by the Japanese.

My guess is that they

want to put a memorial up.

So if we obtain the land,

we'll just make it part

of our construction.

Whoa. Somebody's been

doing their homework, huh?

It was sacred burial ground,

before Japanese even come.

From early Spanish colonies,

they bring disease and bad men.

A lot of our people died.

But the point is.

It's that the Japanese is the

one who desecrated the land,

but now it's just a

prime real estate.

Pepe is right.

There's a lot of

folklore dating back

to the Spanish colonization.

Nobody cares about the

Spanish or the locals,

it's the World War II aspect

that the history

buffs are after.

There's tours given

on the island already,

but you guys can run your

own from the new resort.

I'm more interested

in the folklore.

If it's a burial ground,

shouldn't the natives be

visiting out of respect?

Not normal ground.

They think it is cursed place.

Superstitious son of b*tches.

Witch doctors give

Saipan bad name.

We're modern people now.

Like Americans and Japanese.

This place sounds wonderful.

It's going to make it

difficult to hire local staff.

You offer them a couple bucks

and you watch superstition

fly out the window.

Money trumps fear every time.

Worked on me, boss.

See? Nothing to worry about.

Christ's sake, Pepe.

I got a set of

these in my room,

but they were way

nicer than this.

Bojobo dolls. Local

good-luck charms.

Not always.

The way they're tied

signifies the wish.

Hey, what do these mean?

That we should keep out.

Back inside.

It's a little further up.

Pepe!

Now that's a view.

Did I deliver or what?

It's nice.

But there's a lot of trees

that will need clearing.

Are there utilities

routed out this far?

Just 2 miles up the road.

Really.

Paulina, the beauty of this

place is how untouched it is.

Which makes it an

expensive development.

I see.

Morgan has taught you well.

There's a lovely cove down

the way with a waterfall.

Hey Dave, Alan's going

to show you a waterfall.

Grab whatever else you can get.

Tyler and I are going

to scout the beach.

Meet us down there in an hour.

I'm thinking two infinity pools

facing this side with

a V shaped structure

in order to maximize

balconies with this view.

Or you could work

with the landscape.

Consider three

tiers of Bungalows.

Jungle, beach, over-water.

Push the romance factor.

Sell it as an exclusive to

honeymooners and couples.

Cuts down on clearing costs.

And you can push the eco-friendly

factor to the locals.

I like it.

But don't give Alan an inch

if we want a good price.

So how long have

you known Alan?

Not long.

Amazing.

I haven't seen this

species before.

Do either of you

know what it is?

Yeah, that's

Pervertis Americans.

What is that thing?

Hydro-sole-atomizer.

Very good for the skin.

It has aromatic qualities,

Yeah, forget I asked.

So, you found

my favorite spot!

What do you think?

This place has potential.

Alright.

But being so remote, it

would complicate construction.

A lot.

What are you

guys talking about?

This place is dying

to be a 5 star resort.

Dave has the photographer's

eyes, he sees it.

Speaking of which, Dave,

can we get some aerial?

Thought you'd never ask.

This here is the X8-M drone.

State of the art

and ready to fly.

We'll have footage of this entire

property in under an hour.

Don't touch it!

Wait, Dave, can you go

over the last section again?

Got it.

Zoom in.

I thought you said

no one comes here.

Well, whoever it is,

they're trespassing.

No, they look like they are

headed somewhere specific.

Probably to the bunker.

Bunker?

It's just an old machine

gun nest, it's nothing.

We'll need to see it.

They're Latte stones.

It's thought they were

pillars that the Chamarro

built their houses on.

That's what white man thinks.

These mark way to sulares,

sacred ground.

Really?

(speaking in foreign language)

Very strong spirits,

place the Latte Stones.

When trespassers come

without permission,

they become very angry.

Best not to touch.

(laughing)

He's screwing with you.
