On the ground at the Busang exploration site, the dream is collapsing and Bre-X geologist Michael de Guzman is needed for some major questioning. But where is he? As the hours tick by and he fails to arrive at Bre-X's site, news of a tragedy spreads. Those involved in the gold discovery need to get out of Indonesia and fast. Since this episode was recorded, John McBeth has sadly passed away. We are very grateful for his contribution to this story. Please note, this episode deals with upsetting scenes including suicide and contains some graphic details.
