00:00 My name is John DuPont. Welcome to Foxcatcher Farms.
00:03 The best of the best wanted to train at Foxcatcher.
00:08 It was contagious.
00:10 It sounded like the answer to all my prayers.
00:13 It was the wrestling paradise.
00:14 It's too good to be true.
00:17 You know, if you associated it with winners,
00:25 it would rub off on you.
00:27 The transformation of John DuPont.
00:30 Things started to change.
00:32 Hey, Merry Christmas. Don't hurt yourself.
00:34 The property changed to a militarized zone.
00:38 I said, "Who are you afraid of?"
00:40 And John said, "You never know who it might be."
00:45 Uh-oh, it's getting a little more serious.
00:50 I was really worried.
00:51 You got to get out of there.
00:55 You got to get out of there now.
00:57 There's this misconception that if you win an Olympic gold medal,
01:07 life is like roses and jelly beans.
01:11 It's not anything like that.
