00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,533
[Mike over radio]
Good morning, fleet.
2
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:11,667
As you know, ice mining
is never easy.
3
00:00:11,667 --> 00:00:15,600
And now, your new missions,
if you choose to accept them,
4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,166
will push you to the brink.
5
00:00:17,867 --> 00:00:19,200
Testing out new equipment.
6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,000
Oh!
7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,066
And here it is,
8
00:00:21,066 --> 00:00:24,000
your first glimpse of what
I'm trying to explain.
9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,700
[Mike over radio]
Breaking in rookie divers.
10
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:27,467
I'm pretty nervous 'cause
he doesn't know how to swim.
11
00:00:27,467 --> 00:00:28,467
[Jeff] You got this, dude.
12
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:32,433
[Mike over radio]
And battling record thick ice.
13
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:36,266
[Eddie] Some of these chunks
are moving.
14
00:00:36,266 --> 00:00:38,200
[Mike over radio]
Will you ultimately succeed?
15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,166
This is gonna be
the game-changer for us,
16
00:00:40,166 --> 00:00:42,300
our million dollars in mining.
17
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:44,533
[Mike over radio] Or will you
find these assignments...
18
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:45,600
All right.
19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,266
[Eddie struggling]
20
00:00:47,266 --> 00:00:48,166
[Mike over radio]
...impossible?
21
00:00:48,166 --> 00:00:49,100
Pull him up.
22
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:50,266
[Mike over radio]
By the way...
23
00:00:50,266 --> 00:00:51,200
Eddie!
24
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,166
...this episode
will self-destruct.
25
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,266
[Kris] Today's the big day
I've been waiting for.
26
00:01:10,266 --> 00:01:12,700
Finally, my crawler gets in.
27
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:14,600
Honestly, it's better
late than never.
28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,767
Yeah, at least it's got here.
29
00:01:15,767 --> 00:01:16,867
About [bleep] time.
30
00:01:16,867 --> 00:01:19,300
[Mike] After a brutal
summer campaign...
31
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:20,266
It's gonna be amazing,
32
00:01:20,266 --> 00:01:21,200
everything's gonna work,
33
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,734
everything's gonna be great.
34
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,266
[Mike] The special delivery
could be the game changer
35
00:01:28,266 --> 00:01:29,200
for Kris Kelly.
36
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,300
[bleeping]
37
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:32,533
Man, I hope this works
about as much as I want it to.
38
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:34,066
That would be nice.
39
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:35,600
I'm not gonna lie.
40
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,867
This winter has sucked so far.
41
00:01:37,867 --> 00:01:39,867
I'm looking to get
50 ounces right now
42
00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:41,934
to make up for
last year's [bleep]-show.
43
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:43,834
So far, we got nothing.
44
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,700
But now, that's all
gonna change.
45
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,000
Here we go, baby! This is it.
46
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
This is gonna be
the game-changer for us,
47
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,100
this is gonna make us
our million dollars in mining.
48
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,400
We just gotta make this work.
49
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,700
It's time to unleash
my master plan for success.
50
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,166
The gold trawl
is finally here.
51
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:05,600
This thing is gonna drive
across the ocean floor
52
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,700
and suck up gold.
53
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,066
Moving, like, five times
more efficiently
54
00:02:09,066 --> 00:02:10,300
than a human ever could.
55
00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:12,000
And it never gets tired.
56
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Now that it's here,
57
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,667
it's time to get this
top secret weapon ready.
58
00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:18,300
Okay, we got that
taken care of.
59
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:19,467
He's gonna bring the forklift
60
00:02:19,467 --> 00:02:21,066
and just drop it off for me.
61
00:02:21,066 --> 00:02:22,200
I am very excited
62
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,467
and I'm very worried
at the same time.
63
00:02:24,467 --> 00:02:27,166
This is gonna revolutionize
mining as we know it!
64
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:29,867
Oh, here it comes!
65
00:02:29,867 --> 00:02:30,867
I gotta go!

00:02:58,367 --> 00:03:01,266
Thank you very much, guys!
Thank you very much!

There it is, baby!

-It's really here.

00:03:05,567 --> 00:03:07,300
This [bleep] is, um...
74
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:08,600
-Really put together?
-[record scratch, music ends]
75
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,767
It's really
put together, dude.
76
00:03:10,767 --> 00:03:13,200
We need a screw gun
and we need a ratchet.
77
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,567
Man, all my tools
are at the [bleep].
78
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:18,600
If we had a crowbar...
79
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,567
-You know?
-If we had a crowbar...
80
00:03:19,567 --> 00:03:20,600
Take all this apart.
81
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,867
If we had a crowbar right now.
82
00:03:21,867 --> 00:03:23,166
Okay, let's just go
get this [bleep].
83
00:03:23,166 --> 00:03:24,567
Let's go.
84
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:28,567
Let's do it!
85
00:03:34,667 --> 00:03:35,700
And here it is.

00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,667
of what I'm trying to explain.

[sensual music playing]
89
00:03:41,967 --> 00:03:42,867
Pretty amazing.
90
00:03:42,867 --> 00:03:44,667
Oh! That's actually...
91
00:03:45,166 --> 00:03:46,166
pretty nice.
92
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:48,066
Let's [bleep] get
this thing out of here.
93
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,867
A little bit
of assembly required.
94
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:57,600
It's gonna be a little more
of a process
95
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,567
than I thought.
96
00:03:58,567 --> 00:03:59,400
[drilling]
97
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,834
It's gonna be
a pain in the ass.

This is where you do
a time-lapse.
99
00:04:07,867 --> 00:04:09,200
What I'm trying to do,
100
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,266
I'm trying to take
this red thing
101
00:04:11,266 --> 00:04:13,367
out of this black thing.
102
00:04:13,367 --> 00:04:14,767
Okay? And it's impossible
103
00:04:14,767 --> 00:04:18,200
because it's really, really,
really [bleep] heavy, dude.
104
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,367
It's a puzzle.
105
00:04:23,066 --> 00:04:24,333
Watch out, Andy.
106
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:27,934
Do not go, everybody.
107
00:04:32,367 --> 00:04:33,433
Okay, hold on.
108
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,367
-It's perfect!
-Now, what?
109
00:04:36,367 --> 00:04:38,300
[Kris] So, good news
and bad news.
110
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,266
The good news,
the crawler's here
111
00:04:40,266 --> 00:04:42,767
and Reaper Nation is
absolutely gonna dominate.
112
00:04:42,767 --> 00:04:43,767
The bad news?
113
00:04:43,767 --> 00:04:45,200
Getting everything unpacked,
114
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,500
getting the crawler set up,
115
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:48,000
that's gonna take
a few minutes.
116
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Or more.
117
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:49,767
Hey, hold on.
118
00:04:49,767 --> 00:04:51,500
Hey, we're bringing it
cock-eyed.
119
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:52,834
Let's straighten it back out.
120
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Maybe a lot more.
121
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,533
Ready? One, two, three.
122
00:04:58,667 --> 00:05:00,100
-Okay, stop.
-Oh, yeah!
123
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,266
That's gonna be a cinch.
124
00:05:01,266 --> 00:05:03,100
We got the crawler unpacked.
125
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:04,467
We got the cage off.
126
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:07,066
We exposed the gold trawl,
127
00:05:07,066 --> 00:05:08,533
and everything's moving great.
128
00:05:08,867 --> 00:05:10,066
So far, so good.
129
00:05:10,066 --> 00:05:11,266
[bleep] Damn!
130
00:05:11,266 --> 00:05:13,834
Look how big
this [bleep] thing is, huh?
131
00:05:14,967 --> 00:05:17,934
[Mike] While Kris readies
his secret weapon...
132
00:05:26,266 --> 00:05:29,266
Heck, yeah! Beautiful day out.
133
00:05:29,266 --> 00:05:30,667
[Mike] ...Mr. Gold's arsenal
134
00:05:30,667 --> 00:05:33,233
is already deployed
for his latest mission.
135
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I took a gamble coming
to the East Tract,
136
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,467
but it's been paying off nice.
137
00:05:49,467 --> 00:05:51,100
I'm on a great pay street
138
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:53,867
that I'm hoping we get
to ride out all winter.
139
00:05:53,867 --> 00:05:56,133
But I'm gonna gamble
a little bit more.
140
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,500
We gotta move
to follow this pay street,
141
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:08,100
and it's moving us
into some of the thickest ice
I've seen in years.
142
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,600
With the old ways
of drilling holes,
143
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,166
there'd be no chance in hell
of getting through this.
144
00:06:12,166 --> 00:06:13,967
Hopefully, with this
mini excavator,
145
00:06:13,967 --> 00:06:15,166
we have a chance.
146
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:16,934
Whoo!
147
00:06:29,767 --> 00:06:30,834
Yeah.
148
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:57,300
Ice this thick
149
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,500
presents all sorts
of challenges.
150
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:00,867
It's hard to see the dive hole
151
00:07:00,867 --> 00:07:03,300
because the ice is so thick
all round it.
152
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:06,200
There's jagged chunks of ice
that could snag you,
153
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,367
there's sheet ice
moving at the bottom
154
00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:10,266
that could come off
and block the hole
155
00:07:10,266 --> 00:07:12,066
and prevent you
from getting back out.
156
00:07:12,066 --> 00:07:14,600
We're definitely rolling
some dice here.
157
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,266
With other guys
like Chris McCully
doing well out here,
158
00:07:17,266 --> 00:07:19,233
I really gotta push
to stay ahead.
159
00:07:35,367 --> 00:07:37,433
All right, some big chunks
down here...
160
00:07:38,867 --> 00:07:40,166
God, it's sketchy.
161
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:48,934
I made it to the bottom.
162
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,767
What do you think
of that ice up top?
163
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,734
Wow.
164
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,533
Some of these chunks are...
165
00:07:58,467 --> 00:08:02,600
I feel like they're only
10 feet away from me.
166
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,734
It's not the most ideal
situation to be in.
167
00:08:08,066 --> 00:08:11,567
A lot of people
would see that ice
and turn around and run.
168
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:14,634
But I best, uh...
169
00:08:15,867 --> 00:08:17,934
best try not
to think about it.
170
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:21,133
Yep, just gotta keep
your eyes on the gold.
171
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,533
I've had that happen before.
172
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,300
Looks like there's
some fresh ground
173
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,166
out in front of us here, Joel.
174
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,367
Looks pretty promising
out there, eh?
175
00:09:10,367 --> 00:09:11,667
[Shawn over radio] Yeah.
176
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:14,867
I see all these big rocks
over here,
177
00:09:14,867 --> 00:09:16,567
I wanna get into them.
178
00:09:17,467 --> 00:09:19,333
See what the hell's
underneath them.
179
00:09:20,266 --> 00:09:22,533
Quite a few big rocks
down here.
180
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:26,266
Man, they're packed in here
pretty good, too.
181
00:09:28,166 --> 00:09:30,867
All those big, round rocks
resist movement
182
00:09:30,867 --> 00:09:32,500
like to hold the gold.
183
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:34,133
[Shawn over radio]
Yeah, they do.
184
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:48,934
[Shawn speaking]
185
00:09:57,867 --> 00:09:59,600
[bleep], yeah.
186
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,834
[Shawn over radio]
187
00:10:11,834 --> 00:10:13,166
[Mike] Attention, miners.
188
00:10:13,166 --> 00:10:16,100
Each of you will be getting
your own assignment.
189
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:17,734
If you fail to deliver,
190
00:10:17,734 --> 00:10:20,333
you will be left
out in the cold.
191
00:10:29,867 --> 00:10:31,333
[Zeke speaking]
192
00:10:36,567 --> 00:10:39,567
[Mike] Zeke Tenhoff's got
his plan for the today.
193
00:10:39,567 --> 00:10:41,634
And he can't afford
any cracks...
194
00:10:41,967 --> 00:10:42,934
or leaks.
195
00:10:43,734 --> 00:10:44,834
I'm super stoked.
196
00:10:45,967 --> 00:10:47,133
Just melting the hole,
you know.
197
00:10:51,567 --> 00:10:54,367
We know that there's
a goal on this hole
that we're on now.
198
00:10:54,367 --> 00:10:57,567
It's possible that this hole
is pretty close to being done,
199
00:10:57,567 --> 00:11:00,100
so I wanna try
to finish it out this dive.
200
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,834
It's taking time to get
this new operation
and this new crew on its feet.
201
00:11:03,834 --> 00:11:06,367
So I'm gonna be extra careful
about every move that I make.
202
00:11:06,367 --> 00:11:08,734
My intuition tells me
that the gold's gonna be
203
00:11:08,734 --> 00:11:11,467
quite a bit better as we move
down this pressure ridge.
204
00:11:11,467 --> 00:11:13,166
But I don't wanna move
until we've gotten
205
00:11:13,166 --> 00:11:14,166
every last flake
206
00:11:14,166 --> 00:11:15,767
from this hole
that we're on now.
207
00:11:15,767 --> 00:11:17,467
That's why I'm gonna
do it myself.
208
00:11:17,467 --> 00:11:19,000
It's gotta be done
really efficiently,
209
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,567
and I'm not sure
if the rest of the team
210
00:11:20,567 --> 00:11:21,634
is quite at that level yet.
211
00:11:36,834 --> 00:11:38,667
Hey, how's the vis
down there, Zeke?
212
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,667
[Zeke] Yeah, it's really murky
right here.
213
00:11:43,367 --> 00:11:44,900
[Zeke over radio]
214
00:11:46,367 --> 00:11:49,166
I just gotta scout it out
and see where it looks best.
215
00:11:50,367 --> 00:11:52,000
There's a lot of patches
of frozen gravel
216
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
that are kinda
difficult, but...
217
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
This is the stuff I like,
this gravel.
218
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,233
Are you seeing any
greasy little flakes?
219
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,467
[Zeke] I've seen some gold
here and there.
220
00:12:04,467 --> 00:12:06,634
Yeah. Right there,
right there...
221
00:12:07,367 --> 00:12:09,166
Yeah, there's gold in here.
222
00:12:09,734 --> 00:12:10,667
[crewmember] Nice.
223
00:12:11,567 --> 00:12:12,900
[Zeke speaking]
224
00:12:16,867 --> 00:12:19,166
The sheer volume
that Zeke can move
225
00:12:20,066 --> 00:12:22,000
it's intense, like...
226
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,600
Nate and I are just
novices comparatively,
227
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,767
and Zeke is like a powerhouse.
228
00:12:26,767 --> 00:12:30,867
I mean, he could probably
do an entire hole
by himself in two days.
229
00:12:30,867 --> 00:12:33,100
So, I'm really stoked
to get on the new hole.
230
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,834
I mean, we're starting to get
frozen in here a bit.
231
00:12:35,834 --> 00:12:38,333
[Zeke] I know there's a lot
more gold down here.
232
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:41,800
I wanna put in some hours.
233
00:12:43,166 --> 00:12:44,734
[Zeke over radio]
234
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:46,667
[crewmember] Awesome, man.
235
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,800
[Zeke over radio]
236
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:52,233
[Mike] Across the ice...
237
00:12:58,467 --> 00:12:59,634
[Eddie] Everything's working.
238
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,266
Yeah.
239
00:13:03,266 --> 00:13:06,367
[Mike] ...captain in training
Jane Kilcher's on a mission...
240
00:13:06,367 --> 00:13:07,533
All the way down, Eddie!
241
00:13:09,967 --> 00:13:10,867
Yeah.
242
00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:12,467
[Mike] ...to bring
one of her crew members
243
00:13:12,467 --> 00:13:14,266
up through the ranks.
244
00:13:14,266 --> 00:13:18,100
'Excited' is not the word
I'm thinking of.
245
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:19,867
[Jane] It's my job
to run this operation,
246
00:13:19,867 --> 00:13:21,634
because that's what Emily
asked me to do.
247
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,467
So far, no go.
248
00:13:24,467 --> 00:13:26,166
So I'm sticking
my neck out a bit.
249
00:13:26,166 --> 00:13:27,834
I'm gonna have Eddie
join the dive team,
250
00:13:27,834 --> 00:13:30,300
so hopefully we can have
more hours on the box
251
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:31,266
moving forward.
252
00:13:31,266 --> 00:13:33,000
Eddie has some
diving experience.
253
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,834
But when it comes
to diving into the ice,
254
00:13:35,834 --> 00:13:37,100
he has about as much as me,
255
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:38,734
which is zero.
256
00:13:38,734 --> 00:13:40,667
It'll be cool finally to...
257
00:13:41,567 --> 00:13:44,100
to get down and get
some more dive time for us
258
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,166
and put more gold in the box.
259
00:13:46,166 --> 00:13:47,166
I mean, I feel bad
260
00:13:47,166 --> 00:13:49,467
'cause I've been making
Jeff do all the work.
261
00:13:49,467 --> 00:13:50,467
But now it's just,
262
00:13:50,467 --> 00:13:51,767
get down there already.
263
00:13:51,767 --> 00:13:52,934
It's gonna be fun.
264
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:56,100
Basically, it's a big day.
265
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,166
I'm pretty nervous 'cause
he doesn't know how to swim.
266
00:13:58,166 --> 00:14:01,367
And we haven't
really had, like,
a dive go without a hitch.
267
00:14:01,367 --> 00:14:03,600
Like, there's always been
a little something.
268
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,166
I'm sure he's nervous,
but he's acting all tough.
269
00:14:06,166 --> 00:14:07,166
We're just gonna do our best.
270
00:14:07,166 --> 00:14:08,166
Hopefully get a good dive.
271
00:14:08,166 --> 00:14:09,600
And hopefully he feels
comfortable under there
272
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,967
so we have two divers
instead of one.
273
00:14:11,967 --> 00:14:13,834
We just gotta
get him in the water.
274
00:14:13,834 --> 00:14:14,800
[Eddie] Here we are.
275
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:16,166
First dive, so...
276
00:14:16,166 --> 00:14:18,500
It's time to get it.
277
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:19,867
-Keep your hose steady...
-[laughing]
278
00:14:19,867 --> 00:14:22,467
Slow, hang out
on the chain, you know...
279
00:14:22,467 --> 00:14:24,834
Since Jeff is such
an experienced diver,
280
00:14:24,834 --> 00:14:27,066
I wanna have him
take the lead with Eddie.
281
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,767
Talk to him, prep him,
get him ready.
282
00:14:29,767 --> 00:14:32,567
Because if it were me,
I would be like...
283
00:14:32,567 --> 00:14:33,667
"Why are you diving
under the ice?
284
00:14:33,667 --> 00:14:35,767
Are you insane?
Do you have a death wish?"
285
00:14:35,767 --> 00:14:38,367
And that would be very,
very counterproductive.
286
00:14:38,367 --> 00:14:41,166
I'll drop down in
and see how I feel.
287
00:14:41,166 --> 00:14:42,867
We got all day,
we got all night.
288
00:14:42,867 --> 00:14:45,900
Take it slow and steady,
and we'll go from there, bud.
289
00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:47,233
Okay.
290
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:54,166
-Whoo!
-[laughing] Come on!
291
00:14:54,467 --> 00:14:56,066
I'm ready!
292
00:14:56,066 --> 00:14:57,333
[Jeff laughing] You're here.
293
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:00,800
[Jane speaking]
294
00:15:01,834 --> 00:15:02,834
I don't know.
295
00:15:02,834 --> 00:15:04,266
Maybe do just a couple hours
296
00:15:04,266 --> 00:15:05,834
and then come up, grab a bite,
297
00:15:06,767 --> 00:15:07,934
see how I feel.
298
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,467
Oh... well...
299
00:15:13,734 --> 00:15:15,900
-Oh! Right.
-[all laughing]
300
00:15:25,567 --> 00:15:27,734
[Jeff] How's the air feeling?
Pretty good?
301
00:15:29,166 --> 00:15:30,233
[Jeff] Okay, copy.
302
00:15:31,066 --> 00:15:32,233
Step, step.
303
00:15:36,467 --> 00:15:37,667
[Jane] Oh, my goodness.
304
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:39,367
Oh, yeah.
305
00:15:39,767 --> 00:15:41,166
[grunting]
306
00:15:41,166 --> 00:15:42,834
[Jeff] All right,
go ahead, Eddie.
307
00:15:42,834 --> 00:15:44,300
Nice and slow, bud.
308
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:45,333
You got this, dude.
309
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,066
[Jeff over radio]
Grab the chain.
310
00:15:55,066 --> 00:15:56,567
[Eddie speaking]
311
00:15:56,567 --> 00:15:58,667
[Jeff over radio] Remember,
go down about six, seven,
eight feet.
312
00:16:01,767 --> 00:16:03,333
Don't go any farther.
313
00:16:04,734 --> 00:16:05,967
You good?
314
00:16:05,967 --> 00:16:07,433
[Eddie over radio]
315
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:12,033
[Jeff over radio]
Take your time, man.
Don't rush.
316
00:16:19,567 --> 00:16:21,133
[Eddie] Going down
a little further.
317
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,734
[Jeff over radio] Copy.
How's it going?
318
00:16:24,467 --> 00:16:26,000
[Eddie] It's okay, it's...
319
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,300
I feel a lot of pressure, man.
320
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:28,233
[bleep]
321
00:16:33,066 --> 00:16:34,734
Just working my head
back and forth,
322
00:16:34,734 --> 00:16:36,634
just testing if I can...
323
00:16:39,567 --> 00:16:41,133
...all this damn
pressure, man.
324
00:16:43,834 --> 00:16:45,467
Yeah? Then just
come back up a little bit.
325
00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:48,100
[Eddie speaking]
326
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:49,066
[grunts with effort]
327
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:15,567
Atta boy!
328
00:17:16,734 --> 00:17:18,000
Going to work, jefe!
329
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,934
[Jeff over radio] Yay!
330
00:17:21,567 --> 00:17:22,867
You're okay?
331
00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:24,066
He's on the nozzle.
332
00:17:26,467 --> 00:17:28,033
[Jeff over radio] You see
the big tailing pile?
333
00:17:29,166 --> 00:17:30,166
[Eddie] What's that?
334
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:31,567
[Jeff over radio]
You see the tailing pile?
335
00:17:32,834 --> 00:17:33,834
[Eddie speaking]
336
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,433
Your water's 122,
your air's at 115.
337
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,934
[Eddie] Okay.
338
00:17:49,266 --> 00:17:50,233
Hang on.
339
00:17:52,266 --> 00:17:53,433
We're getting gold, boys.
340
00:17:54,567 --> 00:17:56,433
[Jeff over radio] Atta boy!
341
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,934
[Eddie] All right, that was
a pretty good,
tidy little nugget.
342
00:18:06,266 --> 00:18:07,433
[Eddie inhaling over radio]
343
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,433
I feel like this mask
is climbing off my face.
344
00:18:12,567 --> 00:18:13,667
What'd you say, bud?
345
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,934
Man, I think this mask
is slipping off of my face.
346
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:20,934
[Jeff] You okay?
347
00:18:23,734 --> 00:18:24,667
Oh, [bleep].
348
00:18:25,066 --> 00:18:26,367
Oh.
349
00:18:26,367 --> 00:18:27,867
[Eddie over radio]
Is this supposed...
350
00:18:27,867 --> 00:18:28,834
[Jeff] Eddie!
351
00:18:29,166 --> 00:18:30,233
Pull him up.
352
00:18:38,567 --> 00:18:39,934
[wind rushing]
353
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,133
[Eddie] Oh, [bleep].
354
00:18:46,467 --> 00:18:47,767
[groans]
355
00:18:47,767 --> 00:18:48,734
[Eddie over radio]
Is this supposed...
356
00:18:49,266 --> 00:18:50,133
[Jeff] Eddie!
357
00:18:50,667 --> 00:18:51,567
Pull him up.
358
00:18:58,667 --> 00:19:00,066
Eddie!
359
00:19:00,066 --> 00:19:01,033
[Jane] Oh, my gosh.
360
00:19:02,867 --> 00:19:04,033
[Jeff]You okay?
361
00:19:07,767 --> 00:19:09,133
Hold on, just give him a sec.
362
00:19:10,767 --> 00:19:12,300
[Eddie] It's a lot of pressure.
363
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:13,767
You just couldn't equalize?
364
00:19:13,767 --> 00:19:15,033
I mean, I got there.
365
00:19:15,667 --> 00:19:16,867
That was close.
366
00:19:16,867 --> 00:19:18,667
And it's definitely
not something I'm used to.
367
00:19:18,667 --> 00:19:21,400
Having Eddie have, like,
an emergency situation,
368
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,767
that's pretty scary.
369
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:24,300
Luckily, nothing bad happened.
370
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,300
It could have been
a lot worse.
371
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:27,266
I'm telling you!
372
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:29,567
It goes from here...
to here pretty quick.
373
00:19:29,567 --> 00:19:30,400
That's, it was...
374
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,266
And I kept trying
to adjust the top
375
00:19:32,266 --> 00:19:33,500
and it wouldn't--
376
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:34,667
'Cause what you're doing,
if you're pulling
the top too tight,
377
00:19:34,667 --> 00:19:36,066
-then it's pulling it forward.
-I know, I know.
378
00:19:36,066 --> 00:19:36,867
So...
379
00:19:36,867 --> 00:19:37,834
[Jane speaking]
380
00:19:38,967 --> 00:19:40,767
Yeah, you gotta have
a different mask.
381
00:19:40,767 --> 00:19:41,734
Obviously.
382
00:19:48,767 --> 00:19:50,233
-[Jeff] Isn't it?
-Holy [bleep].
383
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:55,333
I could see it.
384
00:19:56,066 --> 00:19:57,166
It was working, I don't...
385
00:19:57,166 --> 00:19:58,300
And I mean,
I got to the bottom,
386
00:19:58,300 --> 00:19:59,500
I'm like, "Okay, cool."
387
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:01,166
And then I, like, I stood up,
388
00:20:01,166 --> 00:20:02,133
I'm like, "Uh-oh."
389
00:20:02,667 --> 00:20:03,567
Uh-oh!
390
00:20:03,567 --> 00:20:05,467
The mask don't fit,
the mask don't fit.
391
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,166
One size fits all, my ass.
392
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:13,967
What!
393
00:20:13,967 --> 00:20:15,767
-[laughs mischievously]
-Yeah!
394
00:20:15,767 --> 00:20:16,600
[Jeff] Safety first.
395
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,266
A lot of bad things
could happen
396
00:20:18,266 --> 00:20:20,667
if the mask, you know,
slid off his face,
397
00:20:20,667 --> 00:20:22,166
you know,
or anything like that.
398
00:20:22,166 --> 00:20:24,133
And it definitely
puts you in a...
399
00:20:24,133 --> 00:20:26,300
pretty panicked
situation, so...
400
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:28,634
We just need to find
some different gear for Eddie.
401
00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:30,967
And...
402
00:20:30,967 --> 00:20:35,200
Bottom line: being in charge
of an ice-mining operation
is no joke.
403
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,867
I'm honestly not sure
of how I'm doing
at this point.
404
00:20:38,867 --> 00:20:42,066
We have no gold,
and there's been major issues
with both dives.
405
00:20:42,066 --> 00:20:45,667
It needs to get better
and fast.
406
00:20:45,667 --> 00:20:50,600
The whole time, I just felt
like I was fighting my mask
to keep it on my face.
407
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,667
It was just... It was slipping
right off, and it was kind of
freaking me out.
408
00:20:54,667 --> 00:20:58,867
I gotta find a mask
that'll fit
this handsome face, you know?
409
00:20:58,867 --> 00:21:01,867
Oh, God. I was not happy today
at all.
410
00:21:01,867 --> 00:21:05,233
I was nervous for Eddie.
but no one got hurt.
411
00:21:05,867 --> 00:21:06,967
That's good.
412
00:21:06,967 --> 00:21:09,266
Hopefully, tomorrow's
a better day.
413
00:21:09,266 --> 00:21:10,967
So, yeah. Let's just
get things buttoned up.
414
00:21:10,967 --> 00:21:13,934
We'll get out here
early in the morning,
and we'll hit it again.
415
00:21:15,767 --> 00:21:17,834
Give the old call a try.
416
00:21:22,033 --> 00:21:24,033
[narrator] Back in Nome...
417
00:21:26,367 --> 00:21:30,500
Anything could happen
right now.
What will happen next?
418
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:34,033
[narrator] ...the Kellys
are completely revolutionizing
their operation...
419
00:21:35,967 --> 00:21:37,333
[Kris] How?
420
00:21:39,266 --> 00:21:42,767
[narrator] ...ff they can only
figure out the instructions.
421
00:21:42,767 --> 00:21:44,767
Mmm. Very strange.
Very strange.
422
00:21:44,767 --> 00:21:47,500
Well, if we have
to drill through it,
we have to drill through it.
423
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:52,166
The issue is the map is off
on all of the pole holes.
424
00:21:52,166 --> 00:21:54,200
The skis are gonna
go together.
425
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,066
It is what it is.
426
00:21:56,066 --> 00:21:59,467
Skis are gonna help us
transport the operation
on the ice.
427
00:21:59,467 --> 00:22:01,300
But the instructions
don't make sense.
428
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:05,200
I'm sure when secret agents
get their schematics
in blueprints,
429
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,767
they don't get it right
on the first time.
430
00:22:06,767 --> 00:22:09,367
And that's all
that's happening here.
431
00:22:09,367 --> 00:22:12,300
This weapon will take us
straight to the top.
432
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,867
We just gotta figure out
how to put it together.
433
00:22:15,867 --> 00:22:20,567
Next on the agenda is:
we're gonna get the plastic
on the skis.
434
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:47,033
The hose
has a 75-foot radius.
That's half of the diameter.
435
00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:50,867
So you gotta do some math
right now 'cause this is
where it's gonna excel.
436
00:22:50,867 --> 00:22:56,033
75 foot radius.
So that's times 3.14.
437
00:22:56,033 --> 00:23:00,467
That's, like, 230 feet of area
438
00:23:00,467 --> 00:23:02,967
that we're gonna [bleep]
cleanout per hole.
439
00:23:02,967 --> 00:23:04,533
Oh, yeah, baby!
440
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,767
-Hey, Vernon.
-Howdy.
441
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:11,500
[Kris] Vernon came by
to check out my crawler.
442
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,967
I know he's just drinking
the haterade.
443
00:23:13,967 --> 00:23:16,767
He actually had one
in the past,
and it was a joke.
444
00:23:16,767 --> 00:23:18,166
[Vernon] Oh, man.
445
00:23:18,166 --> 00:23:19,767
Oh!
446
00:23:19,767 --> 00:23:22,300
[exclaiming]
447
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,767
Vernon's the last guy
I really want advice from
on this subject,
448
00:23:25,767 --> 00:23:29,133
and mine's, like,
ten generations more advanced
than his was.
449
00:23:29,133 --> 00:23:33,266
But, hey, I'll show the guy
some top-of-the-line
technology.
450
00:23:33,266 --> 00:23:36,367
-So what do you think
of this badass little thing?
-I like it.
451
00:23:36,367 --> 00:23:40,567
It really got a bunch
of bells and whistles- extras-
on it.
452
00:23:40,567 --> 00:23:45,166
Hydraulic rams, water jet...
453
00:23:45,166 --> 00:23:47,300
So, you know, like,
the nozzle will have two jets.
454
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:50,367
-Just, like, spray-down jets
at the same time.
-Uh-huh.
455
00:23:50,367 --> 00:23:51,767
And I'll have a camera
right here
456
00:23:51,767 --> 00:23:55,166
-looking down on my nozzle.
-Yeah.
457
00:23:55,166 --> 00:23:57,200
[Kris] So everything's exactly
the same thing as last winter,
458
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,200
except that instead of a diver
going underneath the water,
moving the nozzle,
459
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,133
this thing's the nozzle.
460
00:24:03,133 --> 00:24:06,667
-Get him a little saddle
and a control station.
-Saddle? [bleep]
461
00:24:06,667 --> 00:24:08,200
I'm staying right here.
462
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,667
Oh. Anyways,
that's a sweet-looking rig.
I like it.
463
00:24:10,667 --> 00:24:11,967
[Kris] Thanks, Vernon.
464
00:24:11,967 --> 00:24:13,934
-I'll see y'all later.
-Okay, Vernon.
465
00:24:16,066 --> 00:24:17,367
Hey, do you think
it's gonna work?
466
00:24:19,767 --> 00:24:21,367
I think it'll work.
467
00:24:23,767 --> 00:24:25,867
You know why he didn't
really joke around?
468
00:24:25,867 --> 00:24:27,400
He's pissed
that we even got this.
469
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,967
-Give me some love, baby.
-Yeah, some of that.
470
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:30,033
Yeah.
471
00:24:30,033 --> 00:24:32,767
You know, everybody knows
this is gonna work.
472
00:24:32,767 --> 00:24:34,133
Everybody knows it.
473
00:24:34,133 --> 00:24:39,166
All I have to do is put
the cameras and lights
on this thing,
474
00:24:39,166 --> 00:24:40,400
and I'm ready to go.
475
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,066
So I'm, like, that close.
476
00:24:42,066 --> 00:24:45,500
My camera is right here
at the [bleep] nozzle,
477
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:51,166
and I hope to God
this [bleep] camera right here
can see chunks of gold.
478
00:24:51,166 --> 00:24:53,033
We're supposed
to get this bad boy
479
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:55,266
up and running today,
but that's not happening.
480
00:24:56,066 --> 00:24:57,867
We still gotta put her
back in the cage
481
00:24:57,867 --> 00:25:00,367
and pull her all the way down
on the ice.
482
00:25:00,367 --> 00:25:02,767
Hopefully, we can pull
this off tomorrow,
483
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:06,500
and when we do,
hopefully we get very,
very, very rich.
484
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:07,667
Trust me.
485
00:25:07,667 --> 00:25:10,066
I don't have time
to test everything out.
486
00:25:10,066 --> 00:25:12,166
I just gotta get there
and make money.
487
00:25:12,166 --> 00:25:14,934
Long story short:
I need to make money.
488
00:25:26,066 --> 00:25:28,300
Sometimes I just have to
check the social media
489
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:33,867
and see what all my friends
out there in cyber space
have got to say.
490
00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:38,667
[narrator] And now
another episode of
Social Hour with Vernon.
491
00:25:38,667 --> 00:25:42,500
[Vernon reading]
492
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,033
Well, that was pretty drunk.
493
00:25:45,033 --> 00:25:48,867
It was in Hawaii, in Waipahu.
494
00:25:48,867 --> 00:25:52,200
I remember sitting
and drinking a bottle of 151.
495
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,166
And then I drunk
another bottle of 151.
496
00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:58,200
And then I got pissed off
'cause they were out of 151,
497
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,300
so I went on down the road,
walked into this other bar,
and they wouldn't serve me.
498
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:06,500
I got into a fight
with three Samoans,
but refrigerator-sized.
499
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:07,967
Needless to say, they won.
500
00:26:07,967 --> 00:26:10,567
Then that damn [bleeped].
501
00:26:12,567 --> 00:26:15,266
...whopped my ass-
I mean- royally.
502
00:26:15,266 --> 00:26:16,767
[bleeped]
503
00:26:16,767 --> 00:26:18,266
...jumped up and down on it.
504
00:26:18,266 --> 00:26:20,400
[bleeped]
505
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,667
I was just...I was discoing
my ass off [bleeped].
506
00:26:23,667 --> 00:26:26,200
Flowers and paisleys
and waterbeds...
507
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,967
[bleeped]
508
00:26:27,967 --> 00:26:31,300
Same thing with bears.
[bleeped]
509
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:35,266
On Tu Do Street in Saigon,
back in 1966.
510
00:26:35,266 --> 00:26:37,333
And then they was all
coming in to [bleep].
511
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:44,400
They took me to the hospital.
512
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,867
And that was my car-
the whole front end caved in.
513
00:26:46,867 --> 00:26:49,867
Then somebody told me,
"Vernon, do you remember
what happened last night?"
514
00:26:49,867 --> 00:26:51,467
Well, no. I didn't remember.
515
00:26:51,467 --> 00:26:55,200
But then, I thought I went
back down to the bar
where it started.
516
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,400
I'm sitting there
at the end of the bar
all beat to [bleep] .
517
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,500
And the lady
that ran the place-
big Mama-Yama Gucci-
518
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:07,166
she walked by, and she said,
"You poor soul.
Vernon, do you need a job?"
519
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:08,433
So she put me behind the bar,
520
00:27:08,433 --> 00:27:11,967
and I ended up bartending
in this little strip joint bar
a year.
521
00:27:11,967 --> 00:27:14,400
One of the best years
I've ever had in my life.
522
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,333
[narrator] This has been
another episode
of Social Hour with Vernon.
523
00:27:28,367 --> 00:27:31,000
How's it going down there?
524
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,734
[Zeke]
Everything's going well.
525
00:27:33,734 --> 00:27:36,166
I like the ground
that I'm looking at.
526
00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:37,567
[narrator] Four hours in,
527
00:27:37,567 --> 00:27:40,367
and Zeke's mission
to clean out the first hole
of the season
528
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:42,266
is nearly complete.
529
00:27:42,266 --> 00:27:44,066
[Zeke speaking]
530
00:27:57,367 --> 00:27:59,166
Well, that's good
to hear, man.
531
00:28:03,266 --> 00:28:04,166
[Zeke] I don't think
I'm gonna have
532
00:28:04,166 --> 00:28:05,667
that much more time
under here, though.
533
00:28:14,567 --> 00:28:17,166
That sounds good, man.
You should come up.
534
00:28:17,166 --> 00:28:19,800
[Zeke] All right.
I'll see you up top.
535
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:23,834
It's been a long day.
536
00:28:23,834 --> 00:28:27,266
Yeah, man.
Zeke's the champ, dude.
He's the man of the hour.
537
00:28:27,266 --> 00:28:31,100
We finished this out.
So, yeah. We're done.
538
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,233
We got all the gold
in this spot.
We're off to the next one.
539
00:28:50,934 --> 00:28:53,000
Bit out of breath.
540
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,834
Yeah.
541
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:56,734
That was a good...
That was a solid one,
542
00:28:56,734 --> 00:28:59,166
and I'm not in, like,
the most great shape.
543
00:28:59,166 --> 00:29:02,834
Oh, dude. Just needs
a [bleep] long haul with this.
544
00:29:02,834 --> 00:29:04,367
Ice-mining's no joke.
545
00:29:04,367 --> 00:29:06,100
It punishes your mind
and body,
546
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:07,934
especially when you put in
long hours.
547
00:29:07,934 --> 00:29:09,567
And, yes, I've got
a great team.
548
00:29:09,567 --> 00:29:11,934
And that'll be perfect
for this next hole.
549
00:29:11,934 --> 00:29:13,567
We'll get hours
around the clock.
550
00:29:13,567 --> 00:29:16,834
But today, I just had
to put on my big-boy pants
551
00:29:16,834 --> 00:29:18,834
and go clean out this hole
myself.
552
00:29:18,834 --> 00:29:21,767
And that's exactly what I did,
so I'm stoked.
553
00:29:21,767 --> 00:29:23,834
I still expect myself to,
like...
554
00:29:23,834 --> 00:29:29,000
To physically be at the level
that I was at when I was 24.
555
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,667
When I was 24,
I would be able to, like,
go and do, like,
556
00:29:32,667 --> 00:29:35,033
eight hours, like,
pretty easily, you know.
557
00:29:35,033 --> 00:29:38,500
Now it's, like, I do, like,
five hours, and I'm, like,
[groans]
558
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:43,166
But, like, there's no reason
why I think that
as we get older,
559
00:29:43,166 --> 00:29:45,033
we can't just be
in the best shape
of our lives
560
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:46,600
and get in better and better
and better shape.
561
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,367
There are people
that do that [bleep].
562
00:29:48,367 --> 00:29:49,500
There's no excuses.
563
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:52,166
You just gotta do it
every day, and keep doing it.
564
00:29:52,166 --> 00:29:54,266
Drink lots of water.
565
00:29:54,266 --> 00:29:56,467
This may have been
a brutal push,
566
00:29:56,467 --> 00:29:59,367
but I could tell
that this cleanup
is gonna make it worth it.
567
00:29:59,367 --> 00:30:00,834
And then we'll be on
to the next one.
568
00:30:00,834 --> 00:30:03,266
We keep on moving forward,
day after day.
569
00:30:03,266 --> 00:30:06,166
I've gotta make this
my biggest winter season ever.
570
00:30:06,166 --> 00:30:10,000
I was just crashing
down there. Crashing hard.
571
00:30:12,033 --> 00:30:14,333
I wanna get on another hole,
and as soon as possible.
572
00:30:19,467 --> 00:30:21,734
[narrator] Five miles east...
573
00:30:27,166 --> 00:30:29,767
[Shawn] Wow. The gold's good
down here, Joe.
574
00:30:29,767 --> 00:30:32,367
It's looking good.
575
00:30:32,367 --> 00:30:36,467
[narrator] ...pursuing his
mission under the thickest ice
in years...
576
00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:39,600
[Joe speaking]
577
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,767
[Shawn] Yep. I'm clear.
578
00:30:42,767 --> 00:30:46,734
[narrator] ...Pomrenke,
Shawn Pomrenke,
is right in the thick of it.
579
00:30:46,734 --> 00:30:48,734
[Shawn] Come on, gold.
580
00:30:48,734 --> 00:30:51,467
I need gold cutlets.
581
00:30:51,467 --> 00:30:54,000
So what do you think
of that ground
out in front of you?
582
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,567
We got a day or two running?
583
00:30:55,567 --> 00:30:59,000
[Shawn] Yeah. Looks like
there's some fresh ground
out in front of us.
584
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,166
[Joe speaking]
585
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:04,567
[Shawn] Yeah. Oh, yeah.
586
00:31:04,567 --> 00:31:07,367
I'm excited to see
what's in there.
587
00:31:07,367 --> 00:31:08,834
[bleep], yeah.
588
00:31:14,033 --> 00:31:15,934
[Shawn] It's pretty dark
down here now.
589
00:31:15,934 --> 00:31:18,066
[Joe speaking]
590
00:31:19,767 --> 00:31:23,834
We got about 15 minutes
of daylight left up top here.
591
00:31:23,834 --> 00:31:25,567
[Shawn] 10, 4.
592
00:31:25,567 --> 00:31:28,567
I'll work my way up.
593
00:31:55,166 --> 00:31:57,667
When you get down
on the bottom and you look up,
594
00:31:57,667 --> 00:32:00,467
you're in 30 feet of water,
and you can touch the ice,
595
00:32:00,467 --> 00:32:03,266
scares the [bleep] out of you
for a second. That's for sure.
596
00:32:03,266 --> 00:32:06,567
But then you see that gold,
and all that fear goes away.
597
00:32:06,567 --> 00:32:10,567
I have to stay on top
this way. I can't let
anything rattle me.
598
00:32:10,567 --> 00:32:12,667
This spot- it's loaded.
599
00:32:12,667 --> 00:32:16,433
Looking good, boys.
Getting some gold.
600
00:32:17,734 --> 00:32:19,834
We'll be rich by summer.
601
00:32:19,834 --> 00:32:21,367
Gotta grab the gold.
602
00:32:21,367 --> 00:32:24,100
We don't wanna forget
that tub out here.
603
00:32:26,567 --> 00:32:28,066
Ah!
604
00:32:29,033 --> 00:32:30,266
[grunts]
605
00:32:30,266 --> 00:32:32,433
Precious cargo.
606
00:32:35,166 --> 00:32:36,667
Good day. Good day.
607
00:32:36,667 --> 00:32:39,166
Now it was worth it.
608
00:32:45,867 --> 00:32:49,567
[man] I remember my first time
up in Nome.
It was December time.
609
00:32:49,567 --> 00:32:54,133
I remember the first time
I got my mask sucked
off my face.
610
00:32:54,133 --> 00:32:57,467
When it came off my face,
I mean, I did everything
I could. I couldn't find it.
611
00:32:57,467 --> 00:33:03,467
I remember hitting the bottom
and pushing myself back up
to the top. I almost drowned.
612
00:33:03,467 --> 00:33:05,767
I said my Hail Mary,
and I closed my eyes.
613
00:33:05,767 --> 00:33:10,066
I mean, my legs were tired,
and I just whoop.
I mean, I went under.
614
00:33:10,066 --> 00:33:14,467
And my tender
jumped off the boat, you know,
pulled me up,
615
00:33:14,467 --> 00:33:16,467
threw me on the boat,
you know, so...
616
00:33:16,467 --> 00:33:20,867
Here, you can't do that.
I mean, if something's
going wrong,
617
00:33:20,867 --> 00:33:23,467
you have to get out
of the hole, you know.
618
00:33:23,467 --> 00:33:27,400
I can't make it 30 feet
to get him, so, you know,
619
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,233
that's just a realistic thing
about being in the ice is,
you know,
620
00:33:30,233 --> 00:33:31,667
you air is number one.
621
00:33:31,667 --> 00:33:34,233
And your mask is your air,
so...
622
00:33:34,233 --> 00:33:37,667
Everybody has that situation
happen to them, you know,
623
00:33:37,667 --> 00:33:39,734
and it happened
to Eddie today.
624
00:33:49,367 --> 00:33:51,266
[Zeke low whistles]
625
00:33:51,266 --> 00:33:53,600
I'm gonna go set up
the cleanup sluice.
626
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,133
We got the stash.
627
00:33:56,567 --> 00:33:59,467
[narrator] Now that
the book has been closed
on the crew's first hole,
628
00:33:59,467 --> 00:34:02,600
it's time to see
what's in the box.
629
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,600
[Zeke] I got my little cleanup
sluice out here.
630
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,867
My idea just is burn through
these cleanups
as quickly as we can
631
00:34:08,867 --> 00:34:11,500
so we know how we're doing.
632
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:14,166
Like I said, I'm trying
to be fast and efficient.
633
00:34:14,166 --> 00:34:16,967
That's why while I'm doing
this cleanup here with Nate,
634
00:34:16,967 --> 00:34:19,266
the rest of the team
is out scouting our next hole.
635
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:23,166
I don't wanna waste any time
this winter because I just
can't afford it.
636
00:34:23,166 --> 00:34:28,166
I'm gonna light up this torch
and dry this gold out outside.
637
00:34:33,567 --> 00:34:35,634
Nice.
638
00:34:37,367 --> 00:34:38,834
What have we got?
639
00:34:38,834 --> 00:34:40,900
Exciting stuff.
640
00:34:44,834 --> 00:34:47,166
Okay. One ounce.
641
00:34:48,934 --> 00:34:51,166
Two.
642
00:34:51,166 --> 00:34:53,400
Three. Three ounces.
643
00:34:54,567 --> 00:34:56,934
Four.
644
00:34:56,934 --> 00:35:00,667
All right. Should have
five ounces, six ounces.
645
00:35:01,867 --> 00:35:04,166
6.56.
646
00:35:04,166 --> 00:35:09,333
6.66.
647
00:35:09,333 --> 00:35:14,934
[narrator] 6.66 ounces
is worth a devilish $12,500.
648
00:35:14,934 --> 00:35:15,867
[Zeke] All right.
649
00:35:15,867 --> 00:35:17,567
[narrator] And thanks
to Zeke's hard work,
650
00:35:17,567 --> 00:35:21,166
the team has bagged
their biggest cleanout
of the season.
651
00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:22,834
Good start.
652
00:35:22,834 --> 00:35:24,500
-It's a great start.
-Yeah.
653
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:26,500
I'm happy with it.
654
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:28,266
Okay, this makes me feel
pretty good.
655
00:35:28,266 --> 00:35:31,433
That's a stellar number,
especially for a solo dive.
656
00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:33,734
Honestly, I think the gold
is gonna be a lot better
657
00:35:33,734 --> 00:35:35,834
as we follow
this pressure ridge.
658
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:38,467
And then we can get
all four of us working
one after another,
659
00:35:38,467 --> 00:35:39,734
and we can just light it up.
660
00:35:39,734 --> 00:35:41,867
I think we're headed
in the right direction.
661
00:35:41,867 --> 00:35:44,333
But we need to get
more ounces than that.
662
00:35:44,333 --> 00:35:47,000
The only thing to do
is just get on
to the next hole.
663
00:35:49,367 --> 00:35:50,667
We're just getting going.
664
00:35:53,367 --> 00:35:55,066
[narrator] Back in Nome...
665
00:35:59,467 --> 00:36:01,934
[phone rings]
666
00:36:03,467 --> 00:36:06,734
-What up, sucker? Howdy.
-Hello.
667
00:36:06,734 --> 00:36:08,600
[narrator] ...Jane checks in
with headquarters
668
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,467
to give the lowdown
to a very pregnant
Emily Riedel.
669
00:36:12,467 --> 00:36:14,600
I hope I don't send you
into labor.
670
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,767
[Emily] Give me the bad news,
and I'll be ready to, like,
call my midwife.
671
00:36:17,767 --> 00:36:22,266
Emily, one of my best friends,
is in Homer, and she's
eight months pregnant.
672
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:25,667
So there's a lot on her mind,
and there's a lot
for her to deal with.
673
00:36:25,667 --> 00:36:28,734
So the last thing I wanna do
is to make her, like,
worry even more
674
00:36:28,734 --> 00:36:31,367
about what's going on
with our ice-mining operation.
675
00:36:31,367 --> 00:36:34,600
But I do have to let her know
some things that are going on.
676
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,467
Well, first we had Eddie
go down, but he had
a little trouble equalizing.
677
00:36:38,467 --> 00:36:43,100
And then when he did
make it down,
he came right back.
678
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:44,266
He was having mask trouble.
679
00:36:44,266 --> 00:36:46,734
The mask just didn't fit him.
680
00:36:46,734 --> 00:36:49,166
-[Emily]
He's got a big old head.
-Yeah.
681
00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:53,066
But it makes me nervous
just because he can't swim.
682
00:36:53,066 --> 00:36:56,734
[Emily] If you can't swim,
it just means you haven't
spent any time in the water,
683
00:36:56,734 --> 00:36:58,500
and you're probably
not the most comfortable.
684
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:01,867
And panic is, like,
what puts you in danger
685
00:37:01,867 --> 00:37:04,100
much more often
than anything else.
686
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:07,600
So we pulled him
out of the water quick
and called it a day.
687
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,600
-Yeah.
-It's, like, you know,
688
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,734
two steps forward,
one step back.
689
00:37:12,734 --> 00:37:15,166
Soon, like, hopefully,
we'll just be diving
690
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:16,467
'cause I feel like
we're working...
691
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:19,467
Literally every kink out
that can happen,
we're working them out.
692
00:37:19,467 --> 00:37:22,967
The obvious thing
is that everything's frozen
every day,
693
00:37:22,967 --> 00:37:26,100
and we have to unthaw
everything every day,
for hours.
694
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:28,934
But I guess
that's par for the course.
695
00:37:28,934 --> 00:37:30,433
[Emily] That's ice mining.
It's, like, everything.
696
00:37:30,433 --> 00:37:34,333
It's, like, Murphy's Law but,
like, expanded.
697
00:37:34,333 --> 00:37:36,867
So, like, everything
that can go wrong
does go wrong.
698
00:37:36,867 --> 00:37:38,100
-Yeah, that's happening.
-It's like...
699
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:40,834
It's the reality
of ice mining.
Oh, my gosh.
700
00:37:40,834 --> 00:37:45,967
Luckily, talking to Emily-
she, like, was able to put
our troubles into perspective.
701
00:37:45,967 --> 00:37:48,166
That's just the nature
of the beast up here
702
00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:49,500
when you're dealing
with the ice.
703
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:51,467
There's times where
nothing's gonna go right,
704
00:37:51,467 --> 00:37:55,333
but I need to start finding
locations where, like,
something goes right.
705
00:37:55,333 --> 00:37:56,600
Like, a lot.
706
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,100
Especially soon because
we don't have any gold.
707
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:00,934
Well, I hope
everything's okay.
708
00:38:00,934 --> 00:38:02,166
[Emily] Yeah. I mean,
you know.
709
00:38:02,166 --> 00:38:04,166
Every time I, like, have to
roll over in bed, it's, like,
710
00:38:04,166 --> 00:38:08,567
operating a forklift
on myself.
711
00:38:08,567 --> 00:38:10,166
[Jane] You could actually
have your baby
at any time right now.
712
00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:11,433
[Emily] I know.
713
00:38:11,433 --> 00:38:12,934
I'm so excited for you.
714
00:38:12,934 --> 00:38:15,166
[Emily] See how it goes.
I mean, how much harder
can it be
715
00:38:15,166 --> 00:38:17,000
than gold-mining
up in the north?
716
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,967
Oh, no. It's... No.
You'll find out. [laughs]
717
00:38:20,967 --> 00:38:23,000
-[Emily] Let's keep in touch.
-All right.
718
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,467
-[Emily] Gotta go.
-Okay. Over and out.
719
00:38:25,467 --> 00:38:27,400
Gotta get to work.
720
00:38:32,467 --> 00:38:34,400
[narrator]
Just outside of town...
721
00:38:38,367 --> 00:38:40,367
Yeah. We need to do a cleanup.
722
00:38:40,367 --> 00:38:44,233
See what the Bering Sea's
provided us this go around.
723
00:38:45,834 --> 00:38:48,100
[narrator] ...after diving
under shifting sheets of ice,
724
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:51,100
Mr. Gold's hoping
to ice the competition.
725
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:55,233
[Shawn] Got the cleanup shack
all ready to rock and roll.
726
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,634
Got the dirt.
727
00:39:00,467 --> 00:39:02,500
We gotta get her done.
728
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:05,266
I don't want anybody
getting more gold than me
this winter,
729
00:39:05,266 --> 00:39:07,734
but I got Chris McCully
breathing down my neck.
730
00:39:07,734 --> 00:39:09,734
I don't care how thick
the ice is.
731
00:39:09,734 --> 00:39:12,333
If there's gold under there,
I'm gonna get it.
732
00:39:12,333 --> 00:39:16,233
And by the looks of it,
it's gonna be worth the risk.
733
00:39:27,567 --> 00:39:31,166
Throw it out on the scale,
and see how we've done.
734
00:39:33,967 --> 00:39:37,900
Five. 10.
735
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:42,166
14.85.
736
00:39:42,166 --> 00:39:46,367
[narrator] 14.85 ounces
is worth over $28,000...
737
00:39:46,367 --> 00:39:47,567
Money.
738
00:39:47,567 --> 00:39:51,433
[narrator] ...and proof
that Shawn's mission
was a success.
739
00:39:51,433 --> 00:39:54,500
Heck, yeah! [laughs]
740
00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:56,233
That will put a smile
on your face.
741
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,467
That's what I'm talking about.
742
00:39:59,467 --> 00:40:02,166
We're gonna be able to get
a lot out of here for a while.
743
00:40:02,166 --> 00:40:05,667
That's a good thing
'cause right now,
there's no time to let up.
744
00:40:05,667 --> 00:40:06,800
Nice.
745
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,367
You gotta keep the pedal
to the metal
to the very last day.
746
00:40:10,367 --> 00:40:13,634
-Not bad.
-No, dude.
747
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:21,533
[narrator] Shawn climbs back
to the top of the heap,
748
00:40:22,734 --> 00:40:26,000
while Agent Tenhoff
makes some noise of his own.
749
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,266
Next time
on Bering Sea Gold...
750
00:40:33,266 --> 00:40:34,367
It's pretty beautiful, huh?
751
00:40:34,367 --> 00:40:36,834
My little brother on the way
to make me money.
752
00:40:36,834 --> 00:40:39,266
I love it when a plan
comes together.
753
00:40:39,266 --> 00:40:42,734
It's time to show everybody
I'm gonna make this work.
754
00:40:42,734 --> 00:40:48,533
[diver] It's really sketchy.
There's a lot of big pieces
of ice hanging overhead.
755
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,000
We're on to gold.
That's what's important.
756
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
What you gotta do
is just keep plugging away
until you hit.
757
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,100
With two divers
working together,
758
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:01,367
we should be able
to increase productivity
quite a bit.
759
00:41:01,367 --> 00:41:04,500
I really can't wait
to find out
if this is a good ground.
760
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:06,367
[diver]
It's gonna be a long night.
761
00:41:06,367 --> 00:41:07,400
This is the hole.
762
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:09,667
[laughter]
763
00:41:10,734 --> 00:41:12,166
Getting close.
764
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,233
[grunts]
765
00:41:17,166 --> 00:41:18,834
[man] I'm sorry?
Can you repeat that?
