Hello
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you today.
My name is Mark Schultz. I want to talk about America...
and I want to tell you why I wrestle.
This is an Olympic gold medal.
I won this three years ago in the 23rd Olympic Games in LA, California.
This is more than just some piece of medal.
It's about what the medal represents...
the virtues required to obtain it.
20 dollars...
and 0 cents.
Is it Dave or David? No, it's Mark. Mark Schultz.
Yeah, Dave is my brother.
He was originally scheduled.
Ok.
We both won golds.
Hey Mark!
You know the guys from USA Wrestling.
- Mark, how you been? - Fred, Bruce, Greg.
Hey Mark
Well, alright, uh, just give us..give us a call.
Appreciate it Bruce. Thanks for coming all this way. Thank You.
- Hey, have a good work out. - Thank you.
Hey buddy.
you alright?
Hey, you been calling my machine and hanging up?
What?
come on
What do you mean?
- I've been hanging up on my machine. - Come on!
- How are you doing buddy? U alright?
ok
Hips in
Keep hips in, Mark.
Same time tomorrow? Yeah.
What did the USA Wrestling guys want?
Talking about me doing some coaching...
in Colorado.
Hey, give me a hug.
Hello?
Hello, may I speak with Mark Schultz?
Speaking
- Mark Schultz the Olympic wrestler?
Yeah, who is this?
I'm calling on behalf of Mr. John E. Du Pont.
Mr. Du Pont has been anxious to get in touch with you.
- Who? - John E. Du Pont, of the Dupont family.
Mr. Du Pont asked that you please consider taking a day off from your training to come out to Foxcatcher Farms...
so you men can meet face to face.
About what?
He would like to discuss it in person in Pennsylvania.
If I may, I'd like to make travel arrangements for you Mr. Schultz.
First class, of course.
- Who did you say, again?
- John E. Du Pont, of the Dupont family.
Mark, Mr. Du Pont wanted to fly you himself today...
but last minute he got called in by the Newtown Square Police Department.
For tactical support.
He should be back at the estate by the time we get there though.
BTW, that's Valley Forge below you.
This is the library.
Mr. Du Pont should be with you in a few minutes. ok
Mark...
John Du Pont.
Thrilled. Thrilled that you're here.
Let's go downstairs.
I call this the trophy room, for obvious reasons.
Have a seat.
How was your flight? Ah..It was good.
- Good. - Thank You.
Can I get you something to eat or drink?
No, I'm ok. Thank You.
I can have them whip you up something.
- No sir, I'm fine. - Good.
Well...I know how busy you must be.
- I assume you're training for the worlds? - Yes sir.
Good
It's the big one.
How is training?
Good, um, it's intense.
Two a days.
Um...Conditioning and weights in the morning...
and...technique and we wrestle in the evenings.
That's good. Get yourself prepared. Work hard.
You look good, you look strong, and fit.
Thank you sir. Feeling confident?
That's one of the most important elements to entering a match...
feeling the confidence, knowing you're going to win.
Feeling it inside.
If you go to a match knowing you're going to win that match,
odds are you're going to win, that match.
Are You training with your brother Dave? Yes sir.
The great Dave Schultz. yeah
- And I'm talking with the great Mark Schultz.
Do you have any idea why I asked you to come here today?
- No. - No? Well Mark...
You...you have any idea who I am?
No, no.
Some rich guy calls you on the phone...
I want Mark Schultz to come, visit me.
Why? I'm a wrestling coach.
And I have a...
deep love for the sport of wrestling.
And I want to speak with you about your future, about what you hope to achieve.
What do you hope to achieve Mark?
Well, um...
I want to be the best in the world.
I want to go to Worlds and win gold.
I want to go to the 88 Olympics in Seoul, and win gold.
Good! I'm proud of you.
Are you getting the support that you need?
What do you mean sir?
Well, you know how the Soviets support their wrestlers.
I do. Mark...
we as a nation, fail to honor you.
And that's a problem.
Not just for you, but for our society.
When we fail to honor that which should be honored...
it's a problem.
It's a canary in a coal mine.
- Do you bird-watch? - Uh, no.
You can learn a lot from birds, I'm an ornithologist.
But more importantly I am a patriot.
And I want to see this country soar again.
I want that too.
I can see that.
I'd like us to go to Seoul, stun the world.
What do you think?
3000 men died here.
These patriots were willing to give up everything...
including their lives...
for freedom.
I like to come here to remind myself what really matters.
You're going to do great things Mark.
Great things. Yes sir.
Hey Mark. Hey.
Hey, can I talk to you for a second? Yeah.
The country is lost their morals and values and their kids are lost and they don't have any role models or heroes and I agreed with him.
Everything he said. I couldn't believe he was saying stuff that's in my head all the time.
Did you have time to talk money? Yeah, yeah
What is he talking? Are you ready?
Yeah.
25,000 a year.
He said "name your price" and I just said the highest price that was in my head.
And we get to hand pick our team.
- Who you gonna train with? - No, no.
I meant "we" as in me and you, together picking a team.
Mr. Du Pont and I would love to have you.
Mark, what's uh...
what's he get out of it?
- Mr Du Pont? - Yeah.
America winning.
You winning, we talked about you. Me winning.
- Ok. - What are you thinking about, Dave?
This is it!
This is everything that we've ever wanted.
Mark, I can't leave.
I'm settled here. Nancy is happy...
Dani's doing well at school.
- They can come. - Mark...
I got a contract, I got commitments.
That's great, for you.
I should just pass this up to be your training partner?
Mark, Mark...
this could be a real good thing for you.
I'm proud of you.
I think you can make something real good for yourself here.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Good luck, Mark.
Hi, is...Mr. Du Pont home?
Is Mr. Du Pont expecting you?
Yes ma'am.
Not at this exact moment, but you know, this week sometime.
I'm Mark Schultz.
Have a seat here, for a moment.
I...I need to...

Just in there to the left. Thank you.
Mr. Beck will see you now.
I'm...I'm sorry, who?

Here's a key for you.
Thank You.
The gym is close. You can almost see it.
Couple hundred yards up to the right is the big house in case you're ever invited to dinner up there.
Otherwise it is off-limits.
- Ok. - Also...
the horses that you saw on the way in...
they all belong to Mr. Du Pont's mother.
They're all world class animals.
They're also off-limits.
Here's the history of the Du Pont Dynasty.
One more thing. Just between you and me...
if you happen to see Mrs. Du Pont...
just give her privacy.
Yeah, of course.
Anything else I can get you?
No, I'm fine.
I think that's it.
Have a good night.
You too.
Du Pont, a dynasty of wealth and power.
America's needs for ammunition enabled the family to amass fortune and grow their company into what is today...
the largest chemical corporation in the world.
Mr. Du Pont?
You hear that?
- That's a barn owl.
- I hope it's not too late... - No,No.
I just wanted to check in and make sure everything was alright with you
And everything is fine, and drop a few things off for you that I thought you might enjoy.
Here's some field glasses.
There's many varieties of birds right here on the property.
That'll give you a better vantage point.
- ok - And this is from 10 years ago but I thought you might find it interesting.
- You wrote this? - I did, yeah.
Wow, thank you.
How long do we have until the Worlds?
2 months ... well, a little less actually.
- We'll get it done. - I promise you.
I'll give everything I have.
- I have great faith in you, Mark. - Thank you sir.
You're welcome.
Good night

May I get you a drink?
No sir, I'm good.
Good, good man...in training.
How's it looking with your brother Dave?
Dave?
How do you mean?
You said you were going to talk to him again?
- I did. - When is he coming?
He's not.
He's just not...
he's just not willing to uproot his family.
Does he understand what we're doing here, Mark?
I told him. He just really doesn't want to move.
How much does he want?
No, it's not about that.
- About what? - Well, You can't buy Dave.
Oh.
So the world championships are coming up soon?
Yes sir.
I want you to win.
It's why you're here.
Everything okay, Mark?
yeah.
What is it? What's wrong?
- Nothing, I'm fine. - No, you're not.
I just...
I just don't want to let you down.

No, Mark, stay.
Dave, I got that tape on Nanev.
- Yeah, pop it in buddy. - We need to check out his arm strength.
I love to watch TV! Turn, turn around then.
Here we go.
Let me get these tights off Good princess
Was it too much for you to come over and just say hi to him?
- Excuse me? - You know who that is, that's John Du Pont.
I said hi, Mark.
It's John Du Pont. He's the most famous man in America.
You can't treat him like he's just anybody.
- Mark, I said hi, ok? - [Danielle] Yeah, she said hi.
- You said hi from over there. - Buddy, Mark, she said hi, pal.
- Mark, you're in our room. - Oh, I'm in your room?

You don't even know. You don't even know what you don't know.
- You know that? - Dave
Mark!
Dad!
Hey buddy, come here.
ok Give me the tape.
Nanev can't set up his arms without setting up himself.
You just take your fist. When you feel him drag, hit it.
Alright? He's gonna drag and turn you and...
That's it! Drag him out!
Drag him!
Five seconds, Mark!
Turn him! That's it! Turn him!
Yes!
Here we go.
Who needs a refill?
Let's all get very drunk!
- Mark, can I take a look at your medal? - Yeah, yeah.
What a fantastic evening!
Alright
Enough! Enough! Turn that off.
Put that down. Where do you want me to put it?
I don't care. Throw it, away.
All of it, whole shelf.
Horses are stupid.
Horses eat and shit.
That's all they do.
It's really silly.
It's all very silly.
I love my mother very much, but she...
She...it's just... ridiculous.
She would honor an animal as more dignified.
But I wanted to do what you're doing.
Let's have those medals.
Give me those.
Give me those medals.
I do not share my mother's affection for horseflesh.
I'll have you known.
Did your horse jump over the thing?
Did you catch the fox, mother?
Anyway
the proof is in the pudding.
- We caught the fox, didn't we? - Yeah.
This is the fox! Yes sir.
I am going to put these in there.
Gentlemen, I give you Mark Schultz...
Foxcatcher World champion. Yes!
- Coach? - Are you alright?
Get him up! Come on. He had too much to drink.
Yeah!
John! John! John! John! John! John! John! John!
Mark?
I wanna boost your practice, alright?
Yeah!
387 days to Seoul, gentlemen.
Let's have a good practice, shall we?
- Mr Du Pont, you don't have to do this. - No, I bet.
You've given me enough. This is not necessary...
Mark! Mark, you earned that.
- Thank You. - You're welcome, Mark.
You're more than Dave Schultz's little brother, Mark.
Ok.
Dave Schultz is a wonderful wrestler.
He, I'm sure, has been an inspiration to you...
a mentor to you.
But he will always be your older brother.
He will never let you be everything that you can be.
Mark, you have been living in your brother's shadow your entire life.
It's time. It's your time, now.
I know what you mean.
Do you?
Cause everything that I've done...
I feel like...
has somehow been credited to Dave.
And, you know, I feel that...
It's time for me to distance myself from him.
You know, become my own person.
Without your brother...
You can do anything that you choose to set your mind to.
Mr. Du Pont, I need you to know that I'm...
so grateful for what you've done for me.
First of all, I don't want you to call me "Mr. Du Pont" or "Sir" anymore.
I consider us friends, and most of my friends...
will call me "Eagle" or "Golden Eagle".
So either of those will work.
Ok.
- Or "John" or "Coach".
Alright, that's not a problem.
Good
Good afternoon sir.
M113 sir, APC. I know what it is.
Where's the gun? What gun, sir?
50 caliber machine gun.
Sir, there wasn't a 50 caliber machine gun...
It's supposed to be mounted right there.
There's no gun on the order, sir.
Sir, I just need a signature to complete the order.
Give me the gun.
Reed, McClaren, take off the load.
Supposed to come with a 50 caliber machine gun.
We'll get it.
You hungry? Yeah.
Let's get something to eat.
Excellent. One more!
Great!
The oil looks really good on you.
Expose your arms a little bit. Here we go... excellent!
Very good and... alright, very good Mark.
Your speeches, your kit.
Do we know if my mother has already arrived?
She's arrived, sir.
- The blazer looks good. - Thank you sir.
I've written down a few things for you to say.
Don't be nervous. You're gonna be great.
Read it, read it out loud.
Right now?
- It's for practice. - Alright, yes sir.
"The highly respected... ornithologist, author...
world explorer... "
Phil... phila...

Can we say stamps?
No, philatelist.

Go ahead.
What is it? It's Cocaine.
I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
Mark, it's just cocaine. It's not going to kill you.
What do I... just...?
Take the vials, tap some on the mirror...
take the straw, just inhale it through your nose.
The highly respected ornithologist, author, world explorer, philatelist...
- All of it? - All of it, straight down.
Mr. Du Pont will be making his return to competitive sports...
in the over-50 category, and the matches...
Did you hear how I was doing it?
It's just all one shot, Mark. You got it.
Give that to me.

Good!
Do I know you? Yes John, how are you?
Good to see you again. This is Mark Schultz.
Hi. Hi.
Have you ever met an Olympic gold medalist before?
Mark won the Olympic gold medal for wrestling 1984.
Have you ever seen an Olympic gold medalist before?
Uh, no, I don't think I have.
Mark, this is the coach Bob.
Call me Bob. Nice to meet you.
Is it Bob or Rob? Bob. Nice to meet you.
This is Mark Schultz. Mark won an olympic gold medal in wrestling in the 1984 Olympics.
That's impressive. Isn't that impressive?
Thank You.
We're very very proud of him.
I am so proud to introduce my mentor.
He has the ability to look at me and I see where I am in life.
I feel his love for me as an athlete and as a human being.
My mother and father were divorced when I was two years old...
and I spent a life time looking for a father...
and I found one in the Golden Eagle of America, John Du Pont.
Mark Schultz, thank you son.
Hello mother.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to read something.
The liberties of our country...
the freedom of our constitution, has always depended...
on our hazards
And it is our duty to defended against all happends...
Oh,he.. hey! What's up?
I miss you.
yeah
What you up to?
Huh? What you up to?
Uh, nothing.
You working out?
Getting ready?
Yeah... no... well I'm taking a little bit of a break right now.
I just want to rest my body. I'll get back when it gets close to the World trials.
Alright. How close?
Hey. Hold on. Hold on one second. What? What's that?
Hey, Mark. Gear up. Practice in the gallery.
You alright?
You're a good friend, Mark.
Thank you, John.
I only had one real friend, growing up.
Hugh Sherry Hubely.
He was son of my mother's chauffeur.
When I was 16 I found out that my mother had been paying him to be my friend.
Dave was, my only friend growing up.
Yeah.
I thought we could put it in the Rosemont case.
It says John Eagle Du Pont.
That's right.
First Place? Yes.
You funded this, presumably?
You can put it in the trophy room.
Thank you, mother.
What are we going to do about your train set?
My train set?
Well, Mr. Beck spoke you about this?
No.
I know he did. I know he did.
I know you never wanted to give it away before...
I don't care about my train set, mother.
I don't care.
Well I think we'll...
we'll give it to the children's museum if they have room.
Do you agree?
I don't care what you do with the train set.
I don't care about... trains.
Mother, I am leading men. I am training them.
I am teaching them.
I am giving them...a dream.
And I'm giving America...hope.
Hope?
It doesn't matter.
I'm glad you have your trophy. It can go into the trophy room...
not in the Rosemont case.
I don't like the sport of wrestling as you know.
It's...a low sport.
And I don't like to see you being low.
Albert wrestled with this guy at Pitt.
I think it's sad.
He was legit. He's probably getting paid a lot.
Look at his face.
It's destroyed.
Is Mark in there? Oh, here he comes.
What's up?
Why is there nobody in the gym?
What do you mean? It's almost noon. There's nobody in there.
Yeah, no, I gave the boys the morning off. We're gonna do a double later on tonight.
Who's making these decisions?
I am.
I want your brother Dave... here.
What are you talking about?
I want your brother Dave to come.
Um, that's not gonna happen. We talked about that.
Are you okay?
You ungrateful ape.
I made such a mistake bringing you here.
I'm getting Dave.
I don't care how much it costs.
Shit.
Hey.
How you doing?
Good. I'm good.
What's up?
I just...just came in. All the wrestlers were there to meet me and you weren't there.
I just thought I'd come up and make sure everything is okay.
Yeah, I'm good.
Just concentrating, you know. Got trials coming on.
You okay, Mark?
Yeah. I'm good. What's up?
You got my messages?
Nancy and the kids are here.
Yeah, how are they?
- They're good. Why don't you come down and say hi? - Ok, I will. See ya.
Boom, down low. This hand comes here, this hand catches the ankle.
Lay your back into the guy, scoop with this leg...
catch both knees, put your arm through. There's your cross leg. Alright? nice and tight.
Do it again. Alright?
Ready here, you wrestle.
Now, if you get here, you're loose like this...
make it nice and tight.
What you wanna do is drag the knees together with your hip and your elbow...
Drop your arm down and drop your chest if you can.
that'll make it nice and snug for you.
You wanna keep your outside leg away from them. Keep your legs away from them...
come up to your knee, turn toe to the ceiling. Step them up.
That's what you do with your arm to get that outside angle.
That's pretty much it...
Use your stomach.
Good.
Good set.
Alright, pair up.
What's going on, Mark?
There's that knee pick and you axe for head shot.
A cross pick...
Dave, I don't need your help. I'm doing this on my own, ok?
You don't want my help? Dave, what did I just say?
Wanna tell me what's going on with you and Du Pont?
Are we calling the set?
Good.
Bring it in.
Move.
Right there... you two move.
All the way over.
In three days...
several of you will be traveling with me to Pensacola...
to participate in the Olympic trials.
When you leave...
the hallowed grounds of this training facility...
you will be in competition...
you will be representing Foxcatcher...
you will be represent the United States.
As a coach...
I want you to be...
champions in sport...
and winners in life.
And also to be a good citizens...
for America.

Alright Mark.
Hey Henry. Dave, what can I do for you?
Henry, John and I kinda had a uncomfortable moment earlier and...
You know, I didn't see him at the final's.
Was he even there?
No. Mr. Du Pont flew home earlier today.
Ok.
Mr. Du Pont's mother died.
Wow, whoa.
That's really bad news.
Excuse me, Dave. Alright, thank You.
Would you like us to mount the weapon? Yes.
Gentlemen.
Hey, John.
Really sorry about your mother.
Oh, no, no, no. It's fine, It's fine
Are you okay? You sure? Yes
David, you have a lot of work to do the next couple of months.
And you're an equal part of that.
You understand. I understand
I'm going to need you.
And uh...
I will be relying on you to a great extent. Don't worry.
I want more than anything to win a gold medal.
And we have someone who could do that.
We're gonna win a gold medal, John.
How are you feeling about... ? I'm feeling very good about it.
I'm a little concerned that there are some psychological issues...
that we need to take care of.
I think he is gonna be in real good shape. Well I think you're doing a great job.
Thank you, John.
And I... I think that with you and I working in tandem...
if we can't get him there, no one can.
Alright, get back. Ok.
Mark.
He's okay.
Good.
Coach Du Pont has a vision.
He would like Foxcatcher to be designated and recognised...
as the official training site for USA wrestling and the Olympic team.
Now this means that the national team would live here and train here.
On top of funding this program, Coach Du Pont would be willing to make a donation...
to USA wrestling, of 500,000 dollars per year.
That's fantastic.
Mr. Du Pont, thank you very much.
The spirit of Foxcatcher...
It is a philosophy which began generations ago.
It is more than just sport.
And coaching these young athletes...
I am able to instill in them the lessons that I have learned in life.
Athletes need role models.
Like anyone, they need people to look up to.
A coaches, A father...
coaches a mentor...
coach has great power...
great import on an athlete's life.
Put you in a house with another wrestler.
James Harley yard show.
There're plenty of places for kids to run around.
Alright, I'll tell him you said hey.
I'm waiting to hear from you.
Bye.
Hey buddy. Hey.
Go on out and warm up. I'll be there in a minute. Yeah.
Gotta make one more call.
Look...
I don't wanna be here.
I called Coach Beechum at BYU.
He said he'd take both of us.
We don't got time to make a big change like that, Mark.
What about after Seoul?
Mark...
I don't know what's gonna happen in the future...
but...
Nancy and I'd like to try and...make it work here.
You and I both know that I can't stay here.
I know, Mark.
Hey you remember when we were kids?
Remember how we lived?
Moving all over the place.
Never had any idea where or how long we were gonna be anywhere.
You remember how that was for us?
Was it easy for us?
No.
That's my responsibility to my family, Mark.
I know you understand that.
Keep your head in the game, Mark.
Go on though
Hi Dave, I'm ...I'm Doc.
Doc, Dave Schultz. Nice to meet you.
Have a seat in the chair here if you would.
We're rolling. Let's talk a bit about his philosophy as a coach.
What is his basic philosophy, as the individual that's gonna lead this team and you?
Well, John's philosophy as a coach is to let the wrestlers...
Um...
Sorry.
Is to, um..., creating an environment or a...
The athlete doesn't have many obstacles to get passed to be great.
Let's get pointed here. I'm not doing what you want me to do.
Let's get pointed out. What are you looking for?
I think you know what we're try to accomplish here, we're...
we're making a documentary that...
that shows John is gonna be able to lead this team, lead you to levels of greatness...
in world wrestling we haven't seen before, and talk about that.
Use some of those terms he likes, like excellent and intensity and domination.
All Right.
Well, John Du Pont...
Say that again. I'm sorry, can you ask me that question again?
John sees you as important to this.
You're the closing chapter to this thing. You're the end of it and...
you're his assistant coach. He sees himself as your mentor.
I'd like you to just look at the camera and...
And speak about John...
as your mentor.
And say what exactly?
That he's your mentor.
Can you do that?
John Du Pont...
is kind of a mentor to me.
Just look over here at the camera and say it again.
John Du Pont is a mentor to me.
I thought maybe it'd be a good idea if we talk, kinda clear the air.
I want to make sure that you guys are clear that we expect that Mr. Du Pont...
is gonna be in Mark's corner throughout the Olympic games.
Well, you could ask him if that's okay, but first...
I'd like to raise a few things that are important to me.
Um, one...
If I'm gonna...
commit to staying on here at Foxcatcher...
I need to know that Mark's gonna be taken care of.
Taken care of how?
So long as I'm at Foxcatcher, Mark's gonna get paid.
You want him to be paid even if he's not here?
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Dave you may be overestimating your importance to Foxcatcher.
Well, that may be so.
We could test that, but...
I'm here to say John, I want to continue what we've started here at Foxcatcher.
And it's important to me...
that I know my brother's gonna be supported.
Thank you, John.
Ok, you'll get your deal, you'll get your demands, but...
this means that Mr. Du Pont is gonna be seated in Mark's corner throughout the Olympic games.
I want to hear Mark agree to that, himself.
Don't do this to yourself.
You can beat this guy.
Can I help you?
Everything okay? Can I help you?
Yeah, we live here.
Ok, there's a new security plan in place. I'm gonna need to see some IDs.
Sure.
Hey John, it's Sunday. It's family time.
Morning, John. Say hi to John.
Hi John.
It's Sunday.
needs direction...
and this is something that a coach can offer.
As a coach I hope to develop young athletes.
Not only in body but in mind.
I want you to be champions at sport.
Winners in life.
And also good citizens of America.
You will be representing the Foxcatcher...
you will be representing the United States.
The coach is there to help the athletes succeed.
In all the ways that athlete should be able to succeed.
And in doing so that coach is able to create a champion.
My athletes look to me as a brother, a mentor, a father and a leader.
I spent my lifetime looking for a father and I found one in the "Golden Eagle of America"...
John Du Pont.
Wayne?
Yes, sir.
Is it snowing?
No, it's not.
Warm up my car.
Yes, sir.
Hey, John, what's happening?
Whoa, hey John.
Do you have a problem with me? Don't John
John, don't John. No, John, I don't have a problem.
Hey, John, oh!
John, no. Stop, John.
David!
Ahhhh
Freeze! Drop the gun! On the ground, now!
Mark.
You're up.
USA, USA...
