00:00:02,567 --> 00:00:04,000
[narrator]
When it comes to gold mining,
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,100
every miner believes
they can determine
3
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:10,567
the wisest choices
to land their fortune.
4
00:00:10,567 --> 00:00:12,567
But make even one wrong move
5
00:00:12,567 --> 00:00:14,400
and they could end up
chasing nothing...
6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,533
[screams]
7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,500
...but fool's gold.
8
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:21,667
I need to make a lot of gold
within a short amount of time.
9
00:00:21,667 --> 00:00:23,400
[Vernon]
We're going out to 40 feet.
10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,367
See if we can get back
on that good gold.
11
00:00:25,367 --> 00:00:27,567
Time to go
make some money today.
12
00:00:27,567 --> 00:00:28,867
[Jeff] All right, bud.
No hero [bleep].
13
00:00:28,867 --> 00:00:30,867
Be safe.
14
00:00:30,867 --> 00:00:32,867
[narrator]
So as the critical final days
15
00:00:32,867 --> 00:00:35,166
tick down on summer mining...
16
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:36,467
[Kris]
Let's put the hammer down.
17
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,100
We know where
the good gold's at. Get it.
18
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:42,567
[narrator] ...whose decisions
could maroon them
19
00:00:42,567 --> 00:00:44,066
on a ship of fools...
20
00:00:45,266 --> 00:00:46,500
[Andy] There's just no light
down there.
21
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:48,166
I can't see [bleep].
22
00:00:48,166 --> 00:00:49,266
[Vernon speaking]
23
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:51,266
[Gary speaking]
24
00:00:51,266 --> 00:00:54,467
[narrator] ...and whose could
lead them to untold riches?
25
00:00:54,467 --> 00:00:57,800
[Gary speaking]
26
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Whoo-hoo!
27
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,100
[Vernon] That's a damn good
test pan right there.
28
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,066
All right-a-roony. Hooray!
29
00:01:04,166 --> 00:01:06,166
[Shawn]
It has so much gold in it.
30
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:09,233
We're gonna [bleep]
smash it out of the park.
31
00:01:12,367 --> 00:01:13,367
Nuggets and gold.
32
00:01:13,367 --> 00:01:14,567
Nuggets and gold.
33
00:01:14,567 --> 00:01:15,567
Golden nuggets.
34
00:01:15,567 --> 00:01:16,967
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
35
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:20,734
Money!
36
00:01:24,467 --> 00:01:27,567
[dramatic music playing]
37
00:01:36,567 --> 00:01:37,934
[alarm clock rings]
38
00:01:42,367 --> 00:01:44,300
We're off to another
fun-filled day
39
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:45,266
on the Mistress.
40
00:01:45,266 --> 00:01:46,934
Gotta keep pressing hard.
41
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,100
[narrator] It's pre-dawn,
and in just 48 hours,
42
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:55,166
a winter storm will shut down
the summer mining season,
43
00:01:55,166 --> 00:01:57,667
and Reaper Nation captain
Kris Kelly
44
00:01:57,667 --> 00:02:00,967
is on a mission to reach
the ounces he needs
45
00:02:00,967 --> 00:02:02,834
by any means necessary.
46
00:02:04,266 --> 00:02:05,867
[Kris]
It's the end of the year.
47
00:02:05,867 --> 00:02:07,700
We're gonna make it
work, no matter what.
48
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,700
We're just gonna have
to push through it, be men,
49
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:12,567
make it happen today,
50
00:02:12,567 --> 00:02:14,000
even though my body says,
51
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,967
"What are you talking about,
[bleep]?"
52
00:02:15,967 --> 00:02:16,767
-[laughter]
-[man] That's pretty...
53
00:02:16,767 --> 00:02:18,500
-We can make it.
-[man] Oh.
54
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:19,900
-You know?
-[man] My body's like,
55
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:22,066
"No, mother... No, sir."
56
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,900
It'll be okay today though,
the Mistress...
57
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:29,433
It's gonna be a nice day.
58
00:02:31,266 --> 00:02:32,867
This season has been brutal.
59
00:02:32,867 --> 00:02:35,266
It seems like every day
there's a new problem,
60
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:36,500
a new obstacle.
61
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:39,400
I'm mentally
and physically exhausted.
62
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,433
I'm basically crawling
to the finish line.
63
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:44,900
We have to hit our goal.
64
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:46,400
I've already
reduced our number
65
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,667
just so we can hit
our bills and stay alive.
66
00:02:49,667 --> 00:02:51,767
But that storm stirred up
the seafloor
67
00:02:51,767 --> 00:02:54,000
and probably opened up
some new pay streaks,
68
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,433
so we can end with a bang.
69
00:02:57,166 --> 00:02:58,367
I gotta keep working.
70
00:02:58,367 --> 00:02:59,867
I can never stop
71
00:02:59,867 --> 00:03:01,900
or everything
will just fall apart
72
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:03,033
right around me.
73
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,400
Today's strategy
is to find new ground
74
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,166
that's been opened up
from the storm.
75
00:03:09,166 --> 00:03:11,667
Maybe I'm being a fool
but right now,
76
00:03:11,667 --> 00:03:14,300
an ordinary cleanup
is not gonna cut it,
77
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:15,800
not when we need
to hit our goal
78
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,000
with almost no time left.
79
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,166
Coming up on the Mistress...
80
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,767
It's gonna be
a great day today.
81
00:03:23,767 --> 00:03:26,100
James finished night crew.
82
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:27,567
Everything's gonna be awesome.
83
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:29,266
[James speaking]
84
00:03:30,667 --> 00:03:32,233
[man 1 speaking]
85
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,166
[man 2] Let's do it.
86
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,700
[Kris] Are you ready?
87
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,066
Let's put the hammer down.
88
00:03:39,767 --> 00:03:42,934
[machine whirring]
89
00:04:00,567 --> 00:04:03,066
I love my guys,
but the season's been rocky.
90
00:04:03,867 --> 00:04:05,900
So I'm gonna oversee
everything today
91
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,634
to make sure we get the kind
of gold we need to see.
92
00:04:09,567 --> 00:04:10,767
So I'm gonna be tough.
93
00:04:10,767 --> 00:04:13,600
My standards
are sky-high right now.
94
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,300
Put that behind
the wash plant...
95
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:17,233
I mean, behind the gas.
96
00:04:19,967 --> 00:04:23,066
[machine whirring]
97
00:04:38,367 --> 00:04:39,967
We're up. We're running.
98
00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:42,867
Everything's going great.
99
00:04:46,567 --> 00:04:48,967
Almost every time
I'm out here, it's like...
100
00:04:48,967 --> 00:04:51,000
it's like a green walk
over here.
101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,433
This is a good job right here.
102
00:05:02,166 --> 00:05:04,634
[Kris speaking]
103
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:26,867
I think--
104
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:32,166
Thank God I checked.
105
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:33,934
[man] Okay.
106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,967
This isn't it.
We need killer gold.
107
00:05:37,967 --> 00:05:39,667
Like, light-up-the-pan gold.
108
00:05:40,066 --> 00:05:41,367
That pan was crap.
109
00:05:41,367 --> 00:05:43,667
I'm convinced there's gonna be
a new pay streak
110
00:05:43,667 --> 00:05:45,266
that we can tap into.
111
00:05:45,266 --> 00:05:47,567
We just gotta keep hunting
and we'll find it.
112
00:05:47,567 --> 00:05:50,200
Hey, we're not getting
good gold.
113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,467
We're moving.
114
00:05:51,467 --> 00:05:54,667
We're gonna push off
in an angle outward,
115
00:05:54,667 --> 00:05:57,600
20 or 30 feet back,
then we'll check the material.
116
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,667
Let's just do some
on-the-fly prospecting.
117
00:06:00,667 --> 00:06:02,467
Yeah, I can feel it.
We're in gold.
118
00:06:02,467 --> 00:06:03,700
Like there's gold around here.
119
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:05,266
We're just in the wrong area.
120
00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:07,166
So let's get the [bleep]
out of here.
121
00:06:09,867 --> 00:06:11,066
We're moving spots.
122
00:06:11,066 --> 00:06:12,467
I'm gonna be
relentless today.
123
00:06:12,467 --> 00:06:14,700
We're gonna keep moving
till I find what I want
124
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:17,767
or until I learn that
what I want is a pipe dream.
125
00:06:17,767 --> 00:06:19,634
Either way,
we'll find out soon.
126
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,767
A little bit more.
127
00:06:24,567 --> 00:06:25,634
Okay.
128
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,900
Oh, yeah, baby.
129
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:33,500
We're back
on the prospecting mission.
130
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:35,100
But you know what?
The good part is,
131
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:37,166
I'm actually good
at finding gold, so...
132
00:06:37,166 --> 00:06:38,767
One of my specialties.
133
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:43,367
So stay tuned.
134
00:06:43,367 --> 00:06:45,533
We'll be on gold
in a couple minutes.
135
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:50,567
[narrator] But Kris
isn't the only captain
136
00:06:50,567 --> 00:06:52,066
already on the water.
137
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,233
[upbeat music playing]
138
00:06:59,867 --> 00:07:01,333
[Cody speaking]
139
00:07:03,266 --> 00:07:06,166
Yeah. It doesn't look like
they moved out, did they?
140
00:07:06,166 --> 00:07:08,367
[Cody] No.
141
00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:11,166
[narrator] Pushing to rebuild
after the great storm,
142
00:07:11,166 --> 00:07:14,500
Shawn Pomrenke
and protege Cody Moen
143
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:15,767
are hitting it early,
144
00:07:15,767 --> 00:07:18,000
trying to keep
the gold flowing
145
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,467
until the bitter end.
146
00:07:21,767 --> 00:07:23,600
The situation is simple.
147
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,433
It's been a tough season.
148
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,066
We've had to re-adjust
our goal for the season.
149
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:32,667
The good news is
the last time out,
150
00:07:32,667 --> 00:07:35,467
we hit a pay streak that
was uncovered by the storm.
151
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:38,567
Holy [bleep].
152
00:07:38,567 --> 00:07:40,734
That is [bleep] a hot pan.
153
00:07:41,467 --> 00:07:42,734
Load it!
154
00:07:43,367 --> 00:07:45,467
[bleep] hot damn.
155
00:07:45,467 --> 00:07:48,300
So the strategy is simple,
keep the Myrtle
156
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:50,767
and the Christine Rose
on that pay streak
157
00:07:50,767 --> 00:07:52,900
and have the day
and night crew
158
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,800
ride that pay streak out
till the end of the season.
159
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,934
I need to make a lot of gold
within a short amount of time.
160
00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:02,567
I got huge payments.
161
00:08:02,567 --> 00:08:06,200
Gotta cover wages,
fuel, insurance.
162
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,867
So I'm gonna get in
that excavator today
163
00:08:08,867 --> 00:08:11,166
and I'm gonna dig
my little heart out.
164
00:08:15,066 --> 00:08:16,600
It's loaded.
165
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,934
We're in it.
166
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:21,166
Right where I thought
it was gonna be.
167
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:23,166
Look at that.
That's just pure gold.
168
00:08:24,166 --> 00:08:25,467
Hot damn.
169
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:28,066
Yes, sir. Whoo!
170
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,700
We're on the gold.
171
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:35,433
Left the nightshift guys off
right in the good spot.
172
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,834
So I just gotta keep digging.
173
00:08:42,367 --> 00:08:44,467
We're in some of the best gold
the Christine Rose
174
00:08:44,467 --> 00:08:46,100
has ever been in right now.
175
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:47,166
[Shawn] Yeah.
176
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,233
It is loaded up.
177
00:08:51,567 --> 00:08:52,834
[Shawn] Well, that's good.
178
00:08:55,166 --> 00:08:58,166
Good news, the crew
kept the Christine Rose
179
00:08:58,166 --> 00:09:01,767
on high ground so Cody can
keep grinding it out all day.
180
00:09:01,767 --> 00:09:03,533
You know, he'll be just fine.
181
00:09:05,867 --> 00:09:07,667
Now, it's on the Myrtle.
182
00:09:07,667 --> 00:09:09,700
We left her
on a nice patch yesterday
183
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:11,700
when I turned it over
to the night crew.
184
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,400
As long as they stayed
on that spot,
185
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,066
the box should be loaded
and we're gonna kill it today.
186
00:09:17,367 --> 00:09:20,867
Now, the question is did night
shift put any gold in the box?
187
00:09:20,867 --> 00:09:22,834
That's what I'm gonna go look.
188
00:09:23,967 --> 00:09:26,133
Did they do good
or didn't they?
189
00:09:34,767 --> 00:09:36,266
Gotta be kidding me.
190
00:09:37,266 --> 00:09:39,066
Just not seeing it.
191
00:09:41,867 --> 00:09:42,867
When you're in the gold,
192
00:09:42,867 --> 00:09:44,400
you can see it
in the lower box.
193
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,367
I'm not seeing it down here.
194
00:09:46,367 --> 00:09:49,467
I'll go check out the GPS,
see where we're at,
195
00:09:49,467 --> 00:09:52,634
and see if we're on track
or off-track.
196
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,934
Went to total [bleep].
197
00:10:01,367 --> 00:10:02,567
No.
198
00:10:02,567 --> 00:10:07,066
I was right here yesterday
when I left.
199
00:10:07,066 --> 00:10:10,567
Now, I show up,
night shift's over here.
200
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:12,834
[sighs]
201
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,667
This is ridiculous.
202
00:10:15,667 --> 00:10:18,467
I tell them where to go
for a reason and now...
203
00:10:18,467 --> 00:10:21,667
It's like they're scared
to go after the good stuff.
204
00:10:21,667 --> 00:10:23,467
We know
where the good gold's at.
205
00:10:23,467 --> 00:10:25,100
Get it.
206
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:28,000
Why in the hell
are we not at that point?
207
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,133
And here we are,
15 hours later.
208
00:10:36,667 --> 00:10:39,066
All right. All right.
All right. All right.
209
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,900
Yo, hey, let's pick up
the spud and move over.
210
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:50,567
[man] Copy that.
211
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:51,934
[Shawn] Let's get turned here.
212
00:10:53,166 --> 00:10:54,934
We're going on a hunt.
213
00:10:57,900 --> 00:10:59,266
Unbelievable.
214
00:10:59,266 --> 00:11:00,967
It pisses me off.
215
00:11:00,967 --> 00:11:02,266
I hunted and hunted,
216
00:11:02,266 --> 00:11:04,667
got us exactly
where we needed to be.
217
00:11:04,667 --> 00:11:06,400
That streak was smoking.
218
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Then the night crew comes in,
moves us off of it,
219
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,867
and completely
loses the scent.
220
00:11:12,867 --> 00:11:15,467
I'mma swing over that way,
221
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:17,634
see if we can find it there.
222
00:11:18,467 --> 00:11:19,834
Where you at?
223
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,867
Hey, Cody.
224
00:11:25,867 --> 00:11:27,166
[Cody] Yes?
225
00:11:27,166 --> 00:11:29,700
[Shawn] How's the digging
going over there, bud?
226
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:33,433
[Cody speaking]
227
00:11:38,967 --> 00:11:40,967
Well, that's good.
At least you got some.
228
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:48,600
Should start calling you
Shawn Kelly.
229
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,667
[laughs]
230
00:11:51,667 --> 00:11:53,967
[Shawn speaking]
231
00:11:53,967 --> 00:11:56,233
[laughter]
232
00:11:59,667 --> 00:12:00,667
[Shawn] I don't give up.
233
00:12:00,667 --> 00:12:03,567
That's the one thing
that separates me from...
234
00:12:03,567 --> 00:12:06,767
and my guys
from everybody else out here.
235
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:09,800
We're just gonna do
a lot of short moves.
236
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,767
We're gonna work hard today.
237
00:12:11,767 --> 00:12:13,000
We're gonna move.
238
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,867
It's a Sunday, God's day,
239
00:12:15,867 --> 00:12:19,867
but today,
these boys are mine.
240
00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:22,834
Get to work.
241
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:30,133
[upbeat music playing]
242
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:33,967
[Vernon] All right.
243
00:12:34,767 --> 00:12:37,367
It's like Brer Rabbit
in the Briar Patch
244
00:12:37,367 --> 00:12:39,166
trying to get out of here
in the morning.
245
00:12:39,166 --> 00:12:41,567
Everything's frozen up
or just getting on the way.
246
00:12:41,567 --> 00:12:43,967
It's a pain in the butt.
247
00:12:43,967 --> 00:12:46,166
[narrator] Still struggling
to reach his goal,
248
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:50,400
Vernon Adkison has a plan
to supercharge production
249
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,800
in the season's final days.
250
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,967
[Vernon]
We're flush with divers
251
00:12:54,967 --> 00:12:58,467
and we're going out today
about 40 feet,
252
00:12:58,467 --> 00:13:00,867
see if we can get back
on that good gold.
253
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:02,166
And we're ready to go.
254
00:13:02,166 --> 00:13:04,433
We're gonna finish out
the season with a bang.
255
00:13:05,467 --> 00:13:08,467
So far, this has been
a crap season.
256
00:13:08,467 --> 00:13:10,467
We're way behind on our goal,
257
00:13:10,467 --> 00:13:12,767
but we've been gaining
some traction lately.
258
00:13:12,767 --> 00:13:14,467
We've been going to ground
259
00:13:14,467 --> 00:13:16,367
that's at least
40 feet deep.
260
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:19,667
That's past the reach
of the excavators
261
00:13:19,667 --> 00:13:22,934
and deeper than most divers
are willing to go.
262
00:13:24,667 --> 00:13:26,867
That means the ground
is untouched,
263
00:13:26,867 --> 00:13:28,533
and it's been paying off.
264
00:13:29,066 --> 00:13:31,667
[Gary speaking]
265
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,700
[Vernon speaking]
266
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:37,166
The trick is, ground
that far down is dangerous.
267
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,700
So it's farther for the
divers to get to the surface
268
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:42,100
if there was a problem,
269
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:44,934
and it's easier for the lines
to get tangled.
270
00:13:46,266 --> 00:13:49,767
But with my current situation,
I've got no choice.
271
00:13:49,767 --> 00:13:53,066
And today, I'm gonna push it
more than I've done before.
272
00:13:53,567 --> 00:13:54,767
Okay.
273
00:13:54,767 --> 00:13:56,734
Can you push it off some more?
274
00:13:57,767 --> 00:13:59,233
All right. Here we go.
275
00:14:00,066 --> 00:14:03,100
That far down,
the nitrogen can build up
276
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:05,300
and give the divers
the bends.
277
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:07,767
That's why we need
to limit their dives
278
00:14:07,767 --> 00:14:11,300
at 40-plus feet to two hours.
279
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:14,166
That short window is a killer
to my bottom line.
280
00:14:14,166 --> 00:14:15,600
So to make the most of it,
281
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,900
we're aiming for three divers
282
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:20,767
in a single day
at 40-foot-plus.
283
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:23,333
First, I'm gonna drop Gary,
284
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:25,233
then Brad,
285
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:28,634
and then Tony
will close it out for us.
286
00:14:30,567 --> 00:14:32,367
Hopefully, knocking on wood,
287
00:14:32,367 --> 00:14:35,567
we've work through
most of our bugs.
288
00:14:35,567 --> 00:14:36,567
We're ready now.
289
00:14:36,567 --> 00:14:37,734
I hope so.
290
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,600
[Vernon]
Keep it up. Stay close.
291
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,100
We're definitely pushing
our luck with this plan
292
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:45,867
and most people would say
I'm crazy for trying it,
293
00:14:45,867 --> 00:14:47,800
but if that box is loaded,
294
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,533
I'll look like a genius.
295
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,133
Pull it your way, Kevin.
296
00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:58,634
All right. Good.
297
00:14:59,467 --> 00:15:01,066
[Gary speaking]
298
00:15:07,567 --> 00:15:08,934
That's why I'm the best.
299
00:15:09,467 --> 00:15:10,533
[Gary chuckles]
300
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:23,934
[Brad speaking]
301
00:15:28,367 --> 00:15:29,700
All right.
302
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:31,467
We're in business.
303
00:15:31,467 --> 00:15:34,634
[suspenseful music playing]
304
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:50,266
So just take your time.
305
00:15:50,266 --> 00:15:52,567
No sense of getting
in a hurry.
306
00:15:52,567 --> 00:15:53,734
[Gary speaking]
307
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,667
[Vernon speaking]
308
00:16:09,767 --> 00:16:11,233
[Gary speaking]
309
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:46,567
Sand is not usually
where the gold is.
310
00:16:46,567 --> 00:16:47,967
We wanna see cobble.
311
00:16:49,266 --> 00:16:52,133
But the storm really
shook up that seafloor,
312
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,233
so it may have
covered up this area.
313
00:16:58,567 --> 00:17:01,200
That could mean we've gotta
find a new spot to mine.
314
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,700
We don't have time for that.
315
00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:05,834
[dramatic music playing]
316
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:11,867
[Gary speaking]
317
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:19,367
Well, what do you wanna do?
318
00:17:19,367 --> 00:17:21,133
You want us to move or what?
319
00:17:23,367 --> 00:17:28,233
[Gary speaking]
320
00:18:05,667 --> 00:18:10,433
He's seeing some
nice pieces go up the nozzle
every now and then,
321
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:11,867
but the--
322
00:18:11,867 --> 00:18:14,667
[Gary speaking]
323
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:19,600
Okay. Well, it might be
because of the sandiness
324
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,266
that it's going in without you
being able to see it.
325
00:18:23,567 --> 00:18:25,433
[Gary speaking]
326
00:18:44,667 --> 00:18:46,266
[Vernon]
All right-a-roony.
327
00:18:48,867 --> 00:18:51,133
[Gary speaking]
328
00:18:56,166 --> 00:18:59,166
The way this material
is flowing into the nozzle,
329
00:18:59,166 --> 00:19:02,066
there could be gold in it
and not see it.
330
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,467
Gary is seeing gold
in the sand
331
00:19:06,467 --> 00:19:08,266
that's coming up the nozzle.
332
00:19:08,266 --> 00:19:11,266
I'm betting for every
little piece he sees,
333
00:19:11,266 --> 00:19:14,767
there are probably
50 more that he doesn't see.
334
00:19:14,767 --> 00:19:17,667
So we're gonna stay here
and feast on this spot.
335
00:19:17,667 --> 00:19:19,367
Hopefully,
it's the right call.
336
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,467
Okay. We're gonna rev it up.
337
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,667
[Gary speaking]
338
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,634
[Vernon] Yeah. Okay.
It looks good up here.
339
00:19:30,266 --> 00:19:31,467
[Gary speaking]
340
00:19:31,467 --> 00:19:32,767
[Vernon] All right.
341
00:19:32,767 --> 00:19:33,867
We're in business.
342
00:19:33,867 --> 00:19:34,967
[Gary] Yeah.
343
00:19:34,967 --> 00:19:36,300
All right-a-roony.
344
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:37,467
Hooray!
345
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:38,667
[Brad] There we go.
346
00:19:38,667 --> 00:19:40,333
Let's put gold in that box.
347
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:43,066
Whoo!
348
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:51,233
[upbeat music playing]
349
00:19:53,266 --> 00:19:54,934
[Zeke] It's a beautiful day.
350
00:19:56,767 --> 00:19:58,367
[narrator]
Zeke Tenhoff is hoping
351
00:19:58,367 --> 00:20:00,433
to finally get cooking...
352
00:20:01,567 --> 00:20:03,467
[Zeke] Mmm.
353
00:20:03,467 --> 00:20:05,100
[narrator] ...after the storm
of the century
354
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:08,967
knocked him and his dredge,
the Synergy, off the water.
355
00:20:08,967 --> 00:20:10,333
[Zeke] Need instant coffee.
356
00:20:11,166 --> 00:20:12,467
[sighs]
357
00:20:12,467 --> 00:20:14,066
I need some caffeine.
358
00:20:18,266 --> 00:20:21,000
Before the big storm hit,
we were just on fire.
359
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,934
We were headed to our
best season ever.
360
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,200
[Jeff]
It's good ground, buddy.
361
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,533
[Zeke] Yeah. That's good
as that's ever looked.
362
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:30,400
I think we've got about
30 ounces.
363
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,867
[Jeff speaking]
364
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:35,867
We were doing so well
that we passed our season goal
365
00:20:35,867 --> 00:20:37,734
by the halfway point
of the season.
366
00:20:39,867 --> 00:20:42,066
But then the storm
of the century hit,
367
00:20:42,066 --> 00:20:43,600
and it kept us off the water.
368
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,033
But now we're ready
for the final push.
369
00:20:49,567 --> 00:20:51,066
-Steer lines?
-[Jeff] Yeah.
370
00:20:51,567 --> 00:20:53,066
[Jeff laughs]
371
00:20:54,066 --> 00:20:55,333
We doing this.
372
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,867
[Zeke] Looks like
best-case scenario,
373
00:20:59,867 --> 00:21:02,700
if the viz does clear up,
we have, like, two days.
374
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:03,700
We'd get two days in.
375
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:05,667
So, I just wanna make sure
376
00:21:05,667 --> 00:21:07,767
that we get those two days in,
if we can.
377
00:21:09,266 --> 00:21:11,200
Even though we've been off
the water for a bit,
378
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,767
I'm gonna raise my goal
to 150 ounces.
379
00:21:13,767 --> 00:21:16,567
I've made enough this summer
to make the $100,000 payment
380
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:18,467
that I needed to make
on the Synergy.
381
00:21:18,467 --> 00:21:21,367
But I still owe another
$300,000 on it.
382
00:21:21,367 --> 00:21:23,667
So the sooner that I can get
ahead on this debt,
383
00:21:23,667 --> 00:21:26,166
the sooner I can start making
a profit with this.
384
00:21:26,166 --> 00:21:28,400
The pay streak that
we were on before
385
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,667
should get us to
the 150-ounce goal,
386
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:32,100
but I don't know
if we're gonna be able
387
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:33,667
to get back on it
now that the storm
388
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:34,500
has gone through it.
389
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,634
[tense music playing]
390
00:21:41,467 --> 00:21:44,166
We're gonna drive over
where we left off working
391
00:21:44,166 --> 00:21:46,000
before the storm and see if...
392
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,767
if there's any evidence
of the work we'd done...
393
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:50,600
or if the storm
394
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,467
had just filled it
all back in.
395
00:21:52,467 --> 00:21:55,700
It'll be interesting
to see with the sonar.
396
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,033
[Jeff] I mean we...
I mean, this is... I mean...
397
00:22:10,867 --> 00:22:12,867
[Zeke] Yeah. It looks like
it moved a whole bunch of...
398
00:22:12,867 --> 00:22:14,834
some more sand into Tomcod.
399
00:22:17,266 --> 00:22:20,567
The storm really did a number
on the area we were mining
400
00:22:20,567 --> 00:22:22,100
and dumped a ton of sand
everywhere.
401
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:25,266
But luckily, we have the
biggest nozzle in the fleet,
402
00:22:25,266 --> 00:22:26,800
14 inches.
403
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,800
And that 14-inch nozzle
can move a lot of material.
404
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,266
The real issue for us
is gonna be the viz.
405
00:22:32,266 --> 00:22:34,567
This could ultimately
be a fool's errand for us,
406
00:22:34,567 --> 00:22:37,100
so I hope I'm not just letting
my guard down here
407
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:38,433
in the final stretch.
408
00:22:40,467 --> 00:22:43,433
[machine whirring]
409
00:22:45,266 --> 00:22:46,400
It's gonna be a great day.
410
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,200
[whirring]
411
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,867
Probably go down
on the gantry.
412
00:22:54,567 --> 00:22:56,000
[Jeff] Beautiful.
413
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,166
[Zeke] We're here.
414
00:22:59,467 --> 00:23:00,467
[Jeff]
We're trying to go to work.
415
00:23:00,467 --> 00:23:01,867
We'll see what happens. Yeah.
416
00:23:01,867 --> 00:23:04,066
Knock the, uh...
Knock the dust off them boots.
417
00:23:06,667 --> 00:23:08,333
There's no viz.
418
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:11,934
Like, you can barely
see the hose.
419
00:23:13,066 --> 00:23:14,333
Brave man.
420
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,367
[laughs]
421
00:23:18,867 --> 00:23:21,100
He's gonna go try.
Let's do it.
422
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:23,433
All right, bud.
No hero [bleep]. Be safe.
423
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:34,433
[tense music playing]
424
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,166
[Zeke speaking]
425
00:23:52,166 --> 00:23:53,433
[Jeff]
I got you loud and clear.
426
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,333
[tense music playing]
427
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,700
[Zeke speaking]
428
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:11,266
[Jeff speaking]
429
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:19,233
[Zeke speaking]
430
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:29,634
[Jeff] Yeah.
431
00:24:31,567 --> 00:24:34,033
[tense music playing]
432
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:37,233
[Zeke speaking]
433
00:24:54,166 --> 00:24:55,433
Yeah.
434
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:04,066
[Zeke speaking]
435
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:20,433
[Jeff] I mean it's not
really ideal, right?
436
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:23,333
[Zeke] No.
437
00:25:56,367 --> 00:25:57,867
[Jeff] Hell, yeah.
438
00:26:00,667 --> 00:26:02,233
[narrator]
Back in the harbor...
439
00:26:05,667 --> 00:26:06,867
We've had a storm.
440
00:26:06,867 --> 00:26:08,066
We've had [bleep] weather.
441
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,667
We've had a lot of repairs.
442
00:26:09,667 --> 00:26:12,000
This boat hasn't
been out much.
443
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,467
And I lost lot of my season,
444
00:26:13,467 --> 00:26:15,467
so now I gotta make up for it
445
00:26:15,467 --> 00:26:17,233
because we gotta push it
to the end.
446
00:26:18,367 --> 00:26:20,166
[narrator] With one half
of Reaper Nation
447
00:26:20,166 --> 00:26:21,500
already on the water,
448
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,533
Andy Kelly is feeling
the late pressure.
449
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:28,767
So I gotta go out
every day I can.
450
00:26:30,166 --> 00:26:33,166
So, this year, I'm in charge
of the All-In and the crawler,
451
00:26:33,166 --> 00:26:35,300
and the crawler's a great
machine and everything.
452
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:36,367
I love it.
453
00:26:36,367 --> 00:26:39,266
And so far everything's
been a nightmare so far.
454
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:42,900
Well, if I go to use my winch,
it moves my track.
455
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,900
If I go to lift my nozzle,
it moves my track.
456
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,533
I don't know what's going on.
457
00:26:48,266 --> 00:26:50,300
And we lost the crawler?
458
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:52,100
[Andy speaking]
459
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:56,533
[bleep] I'm [bleep]!
I just [bleep] got it going!
460
00:27:00,467 --> 00:27:02,333
[Andy] So what are we
waiting for?
461
00:27:06,066 --> 00:27:08,867
[Andy speaking]
462
00:27:10,066 --> 00:27:12,867
We need to get it on the water
and start making gold today.
463
00:27:13,767 --> 00:27:17,166
We're gonna drive away
and start going to work.
464
00:27:17,166 --> 00:27:19,467
I've finally got the crawler
running and in great shape
465
00:27:19,467 --> 00:27:21,667
and finished,
and I've done my part.
466
00:27:21,667 --> 00:27:23,600
I'm not the only one
on this boat.
467
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,634
The captain's
also responsible.
468
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:29,166
This guy really sucks.
469
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:30,300
My brother gave me somebody
470
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:32,000
that doesn't have a clue
of what he's doing,
471
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,100
and it really sucks for me.
472
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:36,166
But Kris said, "Be humble."
473
00:27:37,066 --> 00:27:38,100
Yup.
474
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:39,700
[Kris] Just so you're clear,
475
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:41,400
you're handling all the gold.
476
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,100
He's handling just driving.
477
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:44,667
So, he's more
like a chauffeur.
478
00:27:44,667 --> 00:27:46,400
I want you to be calm
at all times,
479
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,867
-speaking to him.
-Oh, [bleep] me.
480
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:49,667
Don't talk down to him.
481
00:27:49,667 --> 00:27:52,667
[laughs]
That's a lot of, uh, don'ts.
482
00:27:52,667 --> 00:27:56,367
I told him that you're gonna
be working with him in harmony
483
00:27:56,367 --> 00:27:58,800
-'cause he knows you're--
-We got the harm part right.
484
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,367
No, "harmony."
485
00:28:00,367 --> 00:28:01,767
You want me to harm him
with a knee?
486
00:28:01,767 --> 00:28:03,467
[laughs]
487
00:28:03,467 --> 00:28:05,867
So my captain's gonna
be sober today
488
00:28:05,867 --> 00:28:07,467
'cause he has no beer on boat.
489
00:28:07,467 --> 00:28:08,734
All right.
490
00:28:09,767 --> 00:28:12,900
I just need this guy to put
the boat in the right depth.
491
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:15,200
I wanna be deep enough
where there's good gold,
492
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,767
but I have to make sure
we have good visibility.
493
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:19,367
We need to make
this thing work
494
00:28:19,367 --> 00:28:20,867
or we're not gonna
hit our goal.
495
00:28:23,467 --> 00:28:25,300
The plan is we're going
to the same area
496
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:27,667
as we were last time,
'cause there was
really good gold
497
00:28:27,667 --> 00:28:28,667
in this virgin ground,
498
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:30,634
so we're going
right back to there.
499
00:28:31,567 --> 00:28:33,433
It's gonna be a good day,
Daniel.
500
00:28:34,567 --> 00:28:35,900
Everything's warmed up.
501
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:38,100
We're taking off
out of the dock.
502
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:40,567
Time to go
make some money today.
503
00:28:49,066 --> 00:28:51,400
Todd's saying
we're at 35 to 40,
504
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,900
right where I wanna be.
505
00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:54,533
We're putting
the anchors down.
506
00:28:56,567 --> 00:28:58,000
[whirring]
507
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,433
Thirty-five to 40 feet
is the sweet spot.
508
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:03,367
Most divers
won't go that deep,
509
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:04,867
so the ground
should be untouched.
510
00:29:04,867 --> 00:29:07,133
We should still have
some light down there.
511
00:29:10,266 --> 00:29:12,667
-[man] Okay.
-[Andy] Anchors are set.
512
00:29:12,667 --> 00:29:14,500
We're gonna start dropping
all of my equipment
513
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:15,867
on the bottom of the ocean.
514
00:29:18,767 --> 00:29:19,900
Okay. Are we good?
515
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:21,700
-[man] Okay.
-[Andy] Okay. Cool.
516
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:23,133
Let me drop her down.
517
00:29:25,667 --> 00:29:27,834
[whirring]
518
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,700
The water looks a bit murky
at the top of the water,
519
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:43,834
so hopefully it'll be better
on the bottom.
520
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:46,533
Keep lowering it.
521
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:52,233
[tense music playing]
522
00:30:01,867 --> 00:30:03,066
Let's see.
523
00:30:07,166 --> 00:30:08,567
I can't see anything
on my front camera.
524
00:30:08,567 --> 00:30:10,467
It's completely [bleep] black.
525
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:30,433
My camera's not even
registering now.
526
00:30:32,667 --> 00:30:35,734
So it's just really
[bleep] dark this deep.
527
00:30:37,567 --> 00:30:40,100
Hey. We gotta check the depth.
528
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:42,667
My two front cameras,
they're black.
529
00:30:42,667 --> 00:30:43,634
Okay.
530
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:47,367
The jackass captain
put me deeper
531
00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:48,734
than I needed to be.
532
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,233
[Daniel speaking]
533
00:30:56,767 --> 00:30:58,767
[Andy] All right.
So it's way off.
534
00:30:58,767 --> 00:31:02,033
You know, I wanted to go
at 35 to 40, not 50.
535
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:04,467
And it's an overcast day,
536
00:31:04,467 --> 00:31:06,367
so there's just no light
down there.
537
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:08,433
I can't see [bleep].
538
00:31:10,467 --> 00:31:12,433
[Daniel speaking]
539
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:16,667
We're gonna have to
because I can't see anything
540
00:31:16,667 --> 00:31:18,667
-on my cameras.
-[Daniel speaking]
541
00:31:18,667 --> 00:31:21,000
[Andy] Like, my cameras
are straight black.
542
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,600
So we're just gonna
go shallower.
543
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,800
[tense music playing]
544
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,000
The captain just wasted
a whole bunch of time.
545
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,567
We gotta pull the anchor
back up
546
00:31:31,567 --> 00:31:33,900
and get set back up
for the right depth.
547
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:36,767
Every hour we do of this
is an hour we're wasting.
548
00:31:36,767 --> 00:31:38,734
[engines revving]
549
00:31:43,767 --> 00:31:46,100
Now my brother's
over there working, and...
550
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,567
which is why I don't get
no [bleep] mining time in,
551
00:31:48,567 --> 00:31:52,233
because our captain
is no captain.
552
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,333
[engines revving]
553
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:00,834
[suspenseful music playing]
554
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,567
[Kris] Get away from this,
uh, sand.
555
00:32:08,867 --> 00:32:10,734
Yup, that's it. Push it back.
556
00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:14,867
Move, baby.
557
00:32:14,867 --> 00:32:16,467
[narrator]
After two hours of hunting,
558
00:32:16,467 --> 00:32:19,567
the Reaper Nation captain
has yet to find ground
559
00:32:19,567 --> 00:32:21,834
that gets his seal
of approval.
560
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:24,533
Whoa.
561
00:32:25,467 --> 00:32:28,166
Ooh, that felt like rock, huh?
562
00:32:28,166 --> 00:32:30,066
Whoa, baby.
563
00:32:30,066 --> 00:32:32,767
Just grab some scoop,
but let's try.
564
00:32:32,767 --> 00:32:35,266
[machine whirring]
565
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,133
[Kris speaking]
566
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:55,233
Uh...
567
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:05,066
Right now, everyone thinks
I'm outta my mind
568
00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:06,667
by insisting we don't
start mining
569
00:33:06,667 --> 00:33:09,266
until we find something
killer,
570
00:33:09,266 --> 00:33:11,467
especially with so little
time left in the season.
571
00:33:11,467 --> 00:33:12,600
But you know what?
572
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,200
I don't care
what anyone else thinks.
573
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,467
Yeah, about there.
574
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,667
I know I'm right
575
00:33:17,667 --> 00:33:19,233
and I'm gonna prove it
to everyone.
576
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:21,600
[Brad speaking]
577
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,000
[Kris] Yeah, no, I know.
I know.
578
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,033
Bring it over.
I just wanna look at it.
579
00:33:29,467 --> 00:33:31,367
Yeah, let's do this.
Let's do this.
580
00:33:31,367 --> 00:33:32,433
I like this.
581
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,900
I even like the way
we're fitting here,
582
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:38,333
kind of, you know?
Lock us in place.
583
00:33:42,767 --> 00:33:44,200
Okay. Let's do it.
584
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,667
I'm clear.
585
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:50,166
All right.
This is what I want.
586
00:33:50,166 --> 00:33:52,233
This is the kind of ground
I'm looking for.
587
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:56,867
I'm telling you,
when we start doing
588
00:33:56,867 --> 00:33:58,367
a test pan of this,
589
00:33:58,367 --> 00:33:59,967
everything's gonna
be better for us.
590
00:34:02,867 --> 00:34:04,166
I'm gonna take a test pan
591
00:34:04,166 --> 00:34:05,767
to make sure
my spidey sense is right
592
00:34:05,767 --> 00:34:07,333
and this is where we wanna be.
593
00:34:10,767 --> 00:34:12,066
Yeah, let's do it.
594
00:34:26,367 --> 00:34:27,367
I like it.
595
00:34:28,367 --> 00:34:29,934
Oh, yeah, baby.
596
00:34:33,367 --> 00:34:34,467
I knew it.
597
00:34:34,467 --> 00:34:36,300
I knew to trust
my own instincts.
598
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:38,667
I knew there was something
better out there.
599
00:34:38,667 --> 00:34:40,834
And now,
we're gonna reap the reward.
600
00:34:42,367 --> 00:34:44,867
Started out this morning
on no gold,
601
00:34:44,867 --> 00:34:50,166
so I have to be here to keep
things going in the right way
602
00:34:50,166 --> 00:34:53,166
and keep us going
on the right trail.
603
00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:56,667
So I'm like the lucky charm
or the mascot,
604
00:34:56,667 --> 00:34:57,800
whatever you wanna call me.
605
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,133
I'm the guy that
makes it happen,
606
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:03,166
so I'm here making it happen.
607
00:35:03,166 --> 00:35:06,066
[narrator] While Kris
milks a pay streak,
608
00:35:06,066 --> 00:35:08,533
on the other side
of the claim...
609
00:35:10,367 --> 00:35:12,367
[Shawn] Okay. Go ahead
and bring her down.
610
00:35:12,367 --> 00:35:14,033
Yeah, let's see that plug.
611
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,700
[Cody] Copy that.
612
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:18,800
[narrator] Shawn Pomrenke
is also hoping
613
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,967
for a change in fortune...
614
00:35:20,967 --> 00:35:22,400
[Cody] Got it now.
615
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,000
[narrator] ...as he
desperately tries to tap back
616
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,900
into hot ground.
617
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:28,300
[Shawn] We got the spuds down,
618
00:35:28,300 --> 00:35:31,333
now it's time to take a bucket
and see what we got.
619
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:44,767
Not what we're looking for.
620
00:35:44,767 --> 00:35:47,533
We're gonna go ahead and move.
621
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,900
We're still trying to get
back on that pay streak
622
00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:53,166
that the night crew
drifted off of.
623
00:35:53,166 --> 00:35:55,166
We've been at it
for hours now.
624
00:35:55,667 --> 00:35:57,066
We're hunting and pecking,
625
00:35:57,066 --> 00:35:59,467
and so far we're just
striking out.
626
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:02,567
The Christine Rose
is on great gold,
627
00:36:02,567 --> 00:36:04,700
but the Myrtle's supposed
to be the king.
628
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:07,000
Dave Young didn't
put me in charge of it
629
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,066
to play second fiddle
to the CR.
630
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,367
I'm just stressing out right
now about the whole season
631
00:36:15,367 --> 00:36:17,300
coming to an end
and the Myrtle Irene's
632
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:21,433
just not producing
what is expected.
633
00:36:24,166 --> 00:36:25,567
[Shawn] I don't feel real hot
634
00:36:25,567 --> 00:36:27,667
about how we're
doing right now,
635
00:36:27,667 --> 00:36:29,467
but you know what?
636
00:36:29,467 --> 00:36:31,367
When I get up
against the wall,
637
00:36:31,367 --> 00:36:33,734
I just push a little
[bleep] harder,
638
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:36,934
and I am gonna make it happen.
639
00:36:38,266 --> 00:36:39,266
[Shawn speaking]
640
00:36:41,467 --> 00:36:42,333
[man speaking]
641
00:36:43,867 --> 00:36:47,200
[suspenseful music playing]
642
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,367
[machine whirring]
643
00:36:49,367 --> 00:36:50,367
[Shawn] Let me see.
644
00:36:50,367 --> 00:36:51,500
Are we in it
645
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:53,433
or did the move work?
646
00:36:54,467 --> 00:36:56,867
Bucket's gonna tell us
the tale.
647
00:36:58,767 --> 00:37:01,934
[suspenseful music playing]
648
00:37:05,367 --> 00:37:07,467
[machine whirring]
649
00:37:12,567 --> 00:37:13,767
Oh.
650
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:19,400
Oh! Man, that looks good.
651
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,834
Wow.
652
00:37:22,867 --> 00:37:24,100
Make me [bleep] proud.
653
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:25,333
Yeah.
654
00:37:28,166 --> 00:37:29,867
If this is what
I think it is,
655
00:37:29,867 --> 00:37:32,100
it's gonna be loaded
with gold,
656
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:33,834
loaded with nuggets.
657
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,634
I wanna check the box.
658
00:37:40,467 --> 00:37:42,567
[machine whirring]
659
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,100
Oh, yeah.
660
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:01,467
Look at that.
661
00:38:01,467 --> 00:38:03,433
-Gonna be nuggets.
-[man] Dang.
662
00:38:04,867 --> 00:38:06,467
[Shawn] All right. That's it.
663
00:38:06,467 --> 00:38:09,100
It's Northwest Gold Creek.
664
00:38:09,100 --> 00:38:14,166
About ten years ago,
we found this creek in close,
665
00:38:14,166 --> 00:38:17,467
and it's a deep channel
of this brown,
666
00:38:17,467 --> 00:38:22,467
lovely, lovely,
lovely material.
667
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:24,934
It's loaded with gold,
loaded with nuggets.
668
00:38:26,467 --> 00:38:28,166
It's ironic,
but the night crew
669
00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:30,567
might've did me a favor
getting off that pay streak,
670
00:38:30,567 --> 00:38:33,500
because I just tapped back in
to one of the greatest finds
671
00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:35,533
the Pomrenke empire ever hit.
672
00:38:36,667 --> 00:38:38,667
About ten years ago,
we stumbled on this
673
00:38:38,667 --> 00:38:41,734
ancient beach line called
"Northwest Gold Creek."
674
00:38:43,567 --> 00:38:45,834
It's the richest ground
we ever found out here.
675
00:38:46,667 --> 00:38:47,967
This is it.
676
00:38:47,967 --> 00:38:50,066
Uh, I remember exactly
what it looked like,
677
00:38:50,066 --> 00:38:51,800
brown, golden.
678
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,900
Yeah.
679
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:54,567
I've been wanting to find this
680
00:38:54,567 --> 00:38:55,900
for years now.
681
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:57,333
[man] Yeah, finally.
682
00:38:58,467 --> 00:39:00,600
[Shawn] I've looked for it
a couple times
683
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,000
but could never find it,
684
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,000
because it's only like a 15,
685
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,767
20-foot-wide channel.
686
00:39:07,767 --> 00:39:09,467
-[man] Yeah.
-But... And I had...
687
00:39:09,467 --> 00:39:12,567
I had a hunch
it ran all the way out
688
00:39:12,567 --> 00:39:14,967
into the deeper water,
but, you know,
689
00:39:14,967 --> 00:39:18,200
we could never dig deep
enough with the CR.
690
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,100
It was as deep
as you could dig
691
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:21,567
with the Christine Rose.
692
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:23,266
[man] Yeah.
693
00:39:23,266 --> 00:39:28,900
[Shawn] And it was nothing
but nuggets and nuggets.
694
00:39:28,900 --> 00:39:31,467
When we found this creek
a decade ago,
695
00:39:31,467 --> 00:39:33,367
we were on the Christine Rose.
696
00:39:33,367 --> 00:39:36,500
The arm of the Christine Rose
only goes about 16 feet,
697
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:38,967
so it dried up really fast,
698
00:39:38,967 --> 00:39:41,000
because it went deeper
than we could go.
699
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,166
But now, I have the Myrtle,
which can go to 25 feet.
700
00:39:45,166 --> 00:39:49,367
So boom, I found that
Northwest Gold Creek again
701
00:39:49,367 --> 00:39:50,700
in deeper water.
702
00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:52,867
And it's loaded.
703
00:39:52,867 --> 00:39:55,200
It is loaded.
704
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,066
It has so much gold in it.
705
00:39:57,066 --> 00:40:00,266
We're gonna [bleep] smash it
out of the park.
706
00:40:00,266 --> 00:40:01,567
Yeah!
707
00:40:03,266 --> 00:40:06,500
So a little bit
off course here,
708
00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:07,967
a little bit off course here
709
00:40:07,967 --> 00:40:09,567
put us right where
we need to be.
710
00:40:09,567 --> 00:40:11,100
-[Robbi laughs]
-Everything happens
711
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:12,667
for a reason.
712
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,667
This is the break
we needed right here.
713
00:40:16,667 --> 00:40:18,967
Nuggets and gold,
nuggets and gold,
714
00:40:18,967 --> 00:40:20,200
gold and nuggets.
715
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,467
Whoo-woo-woo-woo.
716
00:40:23,867 --> 00:40:26,333
Fire everything up,
prime the pump,
717
00:40:27,166 --> 00:40:28,333
make some gold.
718
00:40:29,266 --> 00:40:31,467
[suspenseful music playing]
719
00:40:31,467 --> 00:40:33,333
[machine whirring]
720
00:40:38,367 --> 00:40:39,467
Look at it.
721
00:40:39,467 --> 00:40:41,166
We're right
in the middle of it.
722
00:40:41,867 --> 00:40:45,800
See that nice brown,
light brown?
723
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,100
That's the channel.
724
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:48,400
That's the paydirt.
725
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:49,867
That's the money.
726
00:40:52,967 --> 00:40:54,300
Hey, Cody.
727
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:55,634
[Cody] Yes?
728
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,066
[Shawn speaking]
729
00:41:05,066 --> 00:41:06,300
[Cody] Nice.
730
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:07,467
[Shawn] I took a couple pans
731
00:41:07,467 --> 00:41:08,700
and it looked, you know,
732
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:11,567
like five nice chunky pieces.
733
00:41:11,567 --> 00:41:14,867
Another pan had one
big chunk in it.
734
00:41:14,867 --> 00:41:17,567
It's a buck...
Big, full buckets.
735
00:41:17,567 --> 00:41:19,567
[Cody] Whoo!
736
00:41:19,567 --> 00:41:21,934
Yeah, it's good to be
making good gold, man.
737
00:41:23,066 --> 00:41:24,166
[Shawn] Yeah.
738
00:41:25,066 --> 00:41:26,567
[Cody speaking]
739
00:41:30,567 --> 00:41:33,200
All right. Well, I'm heading
in the right direction again,
740
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,133
so we'll end up high-fiving
buckets in the middle here.
741
00:41:44,066 --> 00:41:48,467
Just keep washy-washy
and make everybody happy.
742
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,433
[Shawn] You find spots
like this very rarely.
743
00:41:58,066 --> 00:42:00,066
Oh, look,
there's a couple rainbows
744
00:42:00,066 --> 00:42:01,367
that they're both ending,
745
00:42:01,367 --> 00:42:04,166
one on the Myrtle,
one on the Christine Rose.
746
00:42:05,567 --> 00:42:07,834
That's a good-ass sign.
747
00:42:11,367 --> 00:42:14,734
Hopefully, we can have
a pot of gold in both boxes.
748
00:42:17,667 --> 00:42:19,667
This is the reason
I gold-mine.
749
00:42:19,667 --> 00:42:21,266
Money!
750
00:42:26,467 --> 00:42:28,767
[suspenseful music playing]
751
00:42:31,166 --> 00:42:33,634
Hey, Gary, overall, how is it?
752
00:42:35,266 --> 00:42:37,533
[Gary speaking]
753
00:42:54,367 --> 00:42:55,333
[Vernon] Roger.
754
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,166
[narrator]
Aiming for a trifecta
755
00:42:58,166 --> 00:43:00,166
of dives at over 40 feet,
756
00:43:00,166 --> 00:43:02,600
Vernon Adkison
is hoping the gold
757
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,333
is hotter than meets the eye.
758
00:43:04,967 --> 00:43:06,367
[Vernon] Hey, Kevin,
759
00:43:06,367 --> 00:43:07,767
he's just got 15 more minutes.
760
00:43:07,767 --> 00:43:09,333
Check that test mat.
761
00:43:11,367 --> 00:43:12,800
Okay, Gary,
we're getting ready
762
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,634
to check the test mat.
763
00:43:15,567 --> 00:43:17,200
Your time is up anyway.
764
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,367
Why don't you
turn the nozzle off
and come on up?
765
00:43:21,066 --> 00:43:23,800
[Gary speaking]
766
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,367
All right.
Are you gonna decompress?
767
00:43:26,367 --> 00:43:28,934
[Gary speaking]
768
00:43:29,867 --> 00:43:30,934
[Vernon] Okay.
769
00:43:32,867 --> 00:43:34,400
At these depths,
770
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,967
the divers are limited
771
00:43:35,967 --> 00:43:37,166
to two-hour shifts.
772
00:43:37,166 --> 00:43:39,000
Then they have to decompress
773
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,367
and call it a day.
774
00:43:40,367 --> 00:43:43,300
So we need to make sure
that every minute counts,
775
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:45,634
especially
this late in the season.
776
00:43:46,867 --> 00:43:48,467
We're gonna do a test pan,
777
00:43:48,467 --> 00:43:51,367
and hopefully we'll see
that that ground is loaded.
778
00:43:51,367 --> 00:43:54,000
If it isn't,
we're gonna need to pull up
779
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,467
and keep looking,
780
00:43:55,467 --> 00:43:58,166
which at this point would be
like a dagger in my heart.
781
00:44:01,367 --> 00:44:03,467
[Kevin speaking]
782
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:08,700
[Brad speaking]
783
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:09,867
[Vernon] Yeah.
You might as well.
784
00:44:09,867 --> 00:44:12,000
So yeah, go ahead and suit up.
785
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,867
The test mat gives us a tiny
but accurate
786
00:44:14,867 --> 00:44:16,367
read of what's in the box.
787
00:44:16,367 --> 00:44:18,467
It's either pudding
with the proof
788
00:44:18,467 --> 00:44:20,467
or the canary
in the coal mine.
789
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,433
[Gary speaking]
790
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:38,266
[Vernon]
We won't really know
791
00:44:38,266 --> 00:44:40,200
until we put it on a pan.
Let's pan it.
792
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,200
Let the diver
take a look at it,
793
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,967
and we'll get on
about our business.
794
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:46,367
Come on, baby.
795
00:44:50,166 --> 00:44:52,166
[Vernon] That's a damn good
test pan right there.
796
00:44:52,166 --> 00:44:53,100
[Gary] Look how big they are.
797
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:54,667
-That's [bleep] damn good.
-[Gary] Yeah.
798
00:44:54,667 --> 00:44:56,867
[suspenseful music playing]
799
00:44:56,867 --> 00:44:58,000
And that's a test mat.
800
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,567
That's pretty damn impressive.
801
00:45:00,266 --> 00:45:01,700
[Vernon] We took a gamble.
802
00:45:01,700 --> 00:45:03,767
I could have been caught
with my pants down,
803
00:45:03,767 --> 00:45:06,000
but instead, I'm looking like
804
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,800
the sage of the Bering Sea.
805
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,800
The gold is there.
806
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,166
[Brad] Can't argue with that.
807
00:45:11,166 --> 00:45:12,767
Gary said there's a ton
of that over there.
808
00:45:12,767 --> 00:45:14,133
I'll just head
right back to that spot.
809
00:45:15,166 --> 00:45:16,467
[Vernon] All right.
810
00:45:16,467 --> 00:45:19,100
Now, it's time
to get Brad down there,
811
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:20,767
and eventually, Tony too,
812
00:45:20,767 --> 00:45:22,367
to work that rich ground.
813
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,066
But that pay streak
gets deeper as we follow it.
814
00:45:27,066 --> 00:45:31,333
And it's only gonna get dicier
the deeper we go.
815
00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:33,066
[Brad speaking]
816
00:45:33,667 --> 00:45:34,634
[Gary speaking]
817
00:45:48,867 --> 00:45:50,166
[Vernon] All right, Brad.
818
00:45:50,967 --> 00:45:53,100
Don't get tangled in a panic.
819
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:54,000
[Brad speaking]
820
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,133
[suspenseful music playing]
821
00:46:10,367 --> 00:46:11,767
[Brad speaking]
822
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:14,400
[Vernon] All right.
823
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,533
[engine revving]
824
00:46:27,500 --> 00:46:29,533
[Brad speaking]
825
00:46:30,166 --> 00:46:31,467
[Vernon] All right. All right.
826
00:46:31,467 --> 00:46:32,567
Suck it up.
827
00:46:39,467 --> 00:46:41,300
[Vernon] He's moving material.
828
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:43,433
His breathing is steady.
829
00:46:44,867 --> 00:46:46,734
I'm liking it so far.
830
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,734
[Brad speaking]
831
00:46:53,266 --> 00:46:55,834
Yeah, Brad, just keep doing
what you're doing.
832
00:46:57,700 --> 00:46:59,400
You get that gold.
833
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,233
[narrator] As Vernon's
bold strategy pays off,
834
00:47:03,467 --> 00:47:04,734
across the water...
835
00:47:08,367 --> 00:47:09,934
[Shawn] Beautiful day.
836
00:47:10,567 --> 00:47:12,233
Found some gold.
837
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,834
Had some rainbows.
838
00:47:17,367 --> 00:47:19,066
Everything's running good.
839
00:47:20,066 --> 00:47:21,333
Myrtle's shining.
840
00:47:21,967 --> 00:47:23,767
Now the box is shining.
841
00:47:24,467 --> 00:47:26,100
Found a channel
842
00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:28,166
and we're gonna keep
following it,
843
00:47:28,166 --> 00:47:30,700
and we're gonna follow it
and follow it,
844
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:33,066
and we're gonna pile
the gold up.
845
00:47:33,066 --> 00:47:35,567
And you know what
the best thing about it is?
846
00:47:36,467 --> 00:47:38,934
It runs right through
the middle of my claim.
847
00:47:40,266 --> 00:47:43,266
[narrator] Shawn Pomrenke's
golden dreams are coming true
848
00:47:43,266 --> 00:47:46,100
as he guides
the mighty Myrtle Irene
849
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:47,834
down the yellow brick road.
850
00:47:49,767 --> 00:47:51,233
[Shawn] See, Cody?
851
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,767
This is gonna be
a big payday today.
852
00:47:54,767 --> 00:47:57,166
We're talking
a big pile of gold.
853
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:02,467
[Cody speaking]
854
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,233
It only took
a couple of rainbows.
855
00:48:12,166 --> 00:48:14,667
Cody's been
outpacing me lately.
856
00:48:14,667 --> 00:48:16,700
Not only doesn't that
look good for the boss,
857
00:48:16,700 --> 00:48:18,934
it don't look good
to Dave Young either.
858
00:48:19,967 --> 00:48:21,900
So hitting
this Northwest Gold Creek
859
00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:23,433
makes everything sweet.
860
00:48:25,266 --> 00:48:27,767
Time to check the box.
861
00:48:27,767 --> 00:48:30,667
There might even be some
nuggets in the box right now.
862
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:37,233
[suspenseful music playing]
863
00:49:05,166 --> 00:49:07,467
Thinking I wanna see
more gold.
864
00:49:07,467 --> 00:49:10,233
I don't know
what the [bleep] is going on.
865
00:49:16,367 --> 00:49:17,367
[producer speaking]
866
00:49:23,266 --> 00:49:24,834
Thought I was on the channel.
867
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:34,400
I was sure we were
on Northwest Gold Creek.
868
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,333
The ground looked
exactly like it.
869
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,934
It's unique
and the gold was good.
870
00:49:42,667 --> 00:49:44,133
That's what I believed.
871
00:49:45,166 --> 00:49:46,100
All right.
872
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:47,767
[bleep] finish this cutout,
873
00:49:47,767 --> 00:49:49,333
see if it's kind of looking...
874
00:49:49,967 --> 00:49:51,100
Let's do another cut.
875
00:49:51,100 --> 00:49:52,367
[bleep] it.
876
00:49:54,667 --> 00:49:56,800
But if it was
Northwest Gold Creek,
877
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,333
the box would be lit up.
878
00:49:58,867 --> 00:50:00,934
Totally loaded. But it's not.
879
00:50:01,867 --> 00:50:03,834
Maybe I didn't find the creek.
880
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,333
Now, I'm gonna be sad.
881
00:50:15,367 --> 00:50:16,500
...move a little bit,
882
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,333
and then not have [bleep] any?
883
00:50:20,567 --> 00:50:22,467
I was hoping
I was at the channel.
884
00:50:22,467 --> 00:50:24,567
Maybe it was just
a pocket of it.
885
00:50:27,667 --> 00:50:29,567
I'm gonna do
one more test pan.
886
00:50:30,567 --> 00:50:32,100
If this one's a dud,
887
00:50:32,100 --> 00:50:34,066
then we know
it's not the creek.
888
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,567
It was a mirage, fool's gold.
889
00:50:37,567 --> 00:50:38,934
Fingers crossed.
890
00:50:46,066 --> 00:50:48,233
There ain't a whole lot
in the pan.
891
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,233
Few pieces.
Not what we're looking for.
892
00:51:03,767 --> 00:51:06,767
Well, now, I know that wasn't
the Northwest Gold Creek.
893
00:51:06,767 --> 00:51:08,767
No fortune, no treasure.
894
00:51:08,767 --> 00:51:11,100
Not much of anything
at the end of the day,
895
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:12,166
to be honest.
896
00:51:13,066 --> 00:51:15,266
That's cost me big time.
897
00:51:15,266 --> 00:51:16,667
Let's get the hell out
of here.
898
00:51:17,667 --> 00:51:19,300
That was a huge
disappointment.
899
00:51:19,300 --> 00:51:21,166
It's time to wrap up
for today.
900
00:51:21,166 --> 00:51:23,467
And the Myrtle's got
little to show for it.
901
00:51:23,467 --> 00:51:27,166
Now, it's mostly up to Cody
and the CR again.
902
00:51:27,166 --> 00:51:29,033
Not the day I wanted to have.
903
00:51:30,367 --> 00:51:32,800
I put a lot
of heart and soul into that.
904
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,533
I had big hopes,
905
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,300
and then they were smashed.
906
00:51:37,300 --> 00:51:40,367
[dramatic music playing]
907
00:51:44,900 --> 00:51:47,266
[slow rock music playing]
908
00:51:51,967 --> 00:51:54,166
[Jeff] Uh, how's that ground
down there still looking?
909
00:51:55,467 --> 00:51:57,333
[Zeke speaking]
910
00:52:10,967 --> 00:52:12,900
Whee-hoo!
911
00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:15,667
[narrator] Zeke Tenhoff
has plowed through the sand
912
00:52:15,667 --> 00:52:18,300
and isn't letting low
visibility hold him back
913
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:21,533
as he chases
his increased season goal.
914
00:52:24,667 --> 00:52:26,533
[Zeke speaking]
915
00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:39,066
[Jeff speaking]
916
00:52:40,300 --> 00:52:41,367
[Zeke speaking]
917
00:52:58,567 --> 00:52:59,934
[Jeff speaking]
918
00:53:01,867 --> 00:53:03,367
And, uh, yeah,
these whitecaps
919
00:53:03,367 --> 00:53:05,266
are kind of picking up
a little bit, too.
920
00:53:09,567 --> 00:53:10,467
[Zeke] Okay.
921
00:53:13,867 --> 00:53:16,734
They're probably two-footers,
three-footers.
922
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,533
[Zeke] Wow.
923
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,467
[Jeff speaking]
924
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,166
[Zeke speaking]
925
00:53:30,767 --> 00:53:31,767
Yeah.
926
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:36,166
[Zeke speaking]
927
00:53:36,567 --> 00:53:37,834
[grunting]
928
00:53:51,667 --> 00:53:52,467
[Jeff] All right, homie.
929
00:53:52,467 --> 00:53:53,467
Well, you're, uh,
930
00:53:53,467 --> 00:53:55,066
you gotta be pretty exhausted.
931
00:53:56,500 --> 00:53:57,934
[Zeke speaking]
932
00:54:04,667 --> 00:54:06,467
Weather out here
is super unpredictable
933
00:54:06,467 --> 00:54:08,367
and it can vary
from claim to claim
934
00:54:08,367 --> 00:54:10,166
depending on what
the swells are doing.
935
00:54:11,567 --> 00:54:12,600
[Jeff] That's what I'm saying.
936
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,100
Like it just [bleep]
picked up.
937
00:54:14,100 --> 00:54:15,634
What the [bleep]?
938
00:54:18,300 --> 00:54:20,467
The good thing
about having a 14-inch nozzle
939
00:54:20,467 --> 00:54:22,567
is you can move
a lot more ground.
940
00:54:22,567 --> 00:54:24,000
And on a day like today,
941
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,367
hopefully suck up
a lot of gold.
942
00:54:25,367 --> 00:54:28,300
The bad thing is,
is it's a beast.
943
00:54:28,300 --> 00:54:30,266
So when the swells
are hitting you down there,
944
00:54:30,266 --> 00:54:32,066
it takes every bit of strength
945
00:54:32,066 --> 00:54:33,600
that you have
to move it around,
946
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,166
even just a foot or two.
947
00:54:35,166 --> 00:54:37,400
When we get hit
with swells like we are now,
948
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:38,867
that usually ends the dive.
949
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,066
[Jeff] We have no vis
950
00:54:42,066 --> 00:54:45,066
and the chops picking up
from the east, so...
951
00:54:45,066 --> 00:54:46,767
We're just gonna pull
the gear out of the water,
952
00:54:46,767 --> 00:54:47,567
and we're gonna pull
the anchors
953
00:54:47,567 --> 00:54:48,634
and we're gonna go back
to harbor.
954
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,667
The good thing is,
is that I was seeing gold
955
00:54:54,667 --> 00:54:56,867
go up that nozzle
for the last few hours.
956
00:54:56,867 --> 00:54:59,767
So we might have a pretty
sweet clean-out on our hands.
957
00:54:59,767 --> 00:55:01,300
I certainly hope so,
958
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:03,100
because we might not get
another chance
959
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:04,166
to dive this summer.
960
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,500
We have to look at
the situation
961
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:11,467
and figure out
what our next move's gonna be.
962
00:55:11,467 --> 00:55:13,734
I do need to get
some more gold.
963
00:55:15,166 --> 00:55:16,567
[Jeff] We gave her
hell today, huh?
964
00:55:24,166 --> 00:55:25,700
[Andy] Well, my brother's
over there working
965
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:28,300
and I'm sitting here
966
00:55:28,300 --> 00:55:29,834
trying to get
to where I wanna go.
967
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,266
[narrator] In a quest
to get on deeper ground,
968
00:55:33,266 --> 00:55:38,433
Andy Kelly may be marooned
on a ship of fools.
969
00:55:51,467 --> 00:55:52,567
[Andy] I don't know, man.
970
00:55:52,567 --> 00:55:54,166
I hate my brother putting me
with idiots,
971
00:55:54,166 --> 00:55:55,433
that's for sure.
972
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:00,467
And the [bleep] part is,
973
00:56:00,467 --> 00:56:01,667
none of these dumb [bleep]
974
00:56:01,667 --> 00:56:03,367
have to explain to my brother
975
00:56:03,900 --> 00:56:05,567
why nothing's going right.
976
00:56:07,166 --> 00:56:08,400
So it's all gonna fall on me
977
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,667
and I'm supposed to be the one
978
00:56:09,667 --> 00:56:11,166
that's supposed
to be running this grid
979
00:56:11,166 --> 00:56:12,166
and everything else,
980
00:56:12,166 --> 00:56:14,100
but then he also tells me,
981
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:15,867
"Don't tell Todd
how to do his job.
982
00:56:15,867 --> 00:56:17,166
He's the captain.
983
00:56:17,166 --> 00:56:18,400
You're in control
of the crawler."
984
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:19,600
Okay, great.
985
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,233
Can the captain drive
the [bleep] boat
986
00:56:22,467 --> 00:56:24,433
without [bleep] anything up?
987
00:56:26,867 --> 00:56:28,767
We need gold bad.
988
00:56:28,767 --> 00:56:30,066
My brother's counting on me
989
00:56:30,066 --> 00:56:31,800
to make this part
of Reaper Nation work.
990
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,100
I'm trying to get on ground
that's shallow enough
991
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:35,467
to have some visibility,
992
00:56:35,467 --> 00:56:37,233
but deep enough
to be untouched.
993
00:56:37,967 --> 00:56:40,500
That should be 35 to 40 feet.
994
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:42,266
But the clown
in the captain's chair
995
00:56:42,266 --> 00:56:45,333
put us on ground way deeper
than what I needed to be.
996
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,634
Yeah. I don't know, man.
997
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:51,000
He's repositioning the boat
998
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,734
and now we're just
burning hours.
999
00:56:55,567 --> 00:56:56,734
[Todd speaking]
1000
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,834
[man speaking]
1001
00:57:05,300 --> 00:57:07,533
[Daniel speaking]
1002
00:57:14,900 --> 00:57:16,500
Well, I thought
we were backing up
1003
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:17,767
to go to shallower ground,
1004
00:57:17,767 --> 00:57:21,166
but it looks like
we just did a U, that's it.
1005
00:57:21,166 --> 00:57:23,066
It looks like we're at
the same [bleep] depth.
1006
00:57:24,567 --> 00:57:27,333
The only difference is,
is now I'm facing shore.
1007
00:57:29,266 --> 00:57:32,800
I got a captain that drives
the boat better drunk,
1008
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,333
and he's not drunk right now.
1009
00:57:35,066 --> 00:57:36,600
So basically
I don't [bleep] know
1010
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:37,867
what he's doing.
1011
00:57:44,367 --> 00:57:45,767
This is beginning
to be bull [bleep].
1012
00:57:47,100 --> 00:57:48,233
[Daniel speaking]
1013
00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:50,133
Seven, eight...
1014
00:57:54,500 --> 00:57:57,767
[Andy] We actually
somehow got deeper
1015
00:57:57,767 --> 00:57:59,433
than what we were originally.
1016
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,367
Todd did a big U
1017
00:58:02,367 --> 00:58:04,166
and took us out deeper
than what we were.
1018
00:58:08,667 --> 00:58:09,734
[Daniel speaking]
1019
00:58:14,467 --> 00:58:16,567
[Andy] We're running out
of time this season.
1020
00:58:16,567 --> 00:58:17,600
I don't know
how many more days
1021
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:18,867
we're gonna get out of here.
1022
00:58:18,867 --> 00:58:20,367
The biggest mission
this season
1023
00:58:20,367 --> 00:58:23,100
was to get the All-In
and the crawler out there.
1024
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:25,066
These guys have gotta
get it together.
1025
00:58:27,467 --> 00:58:29,433
[Daniel speaking]
1026
00:58:32,367 --> 00:58:35,500
So now we're gonna
try to go closer
1027
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:37,433
to shore where I wanted to.
1028
00:58:39,567 --> 00:58:41,000
It's always something, man.
1029
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,100
I swear to God, every time
I wanna get out and mine,
1030
00:58:43,100 --> 00:58:44,667
you know, I mean,
1031
00:58:44,667 --> 00:58:46,533
what's the next captain
gonna be like?
1032
00:58:51,367 --> 00:58:53,734
[mellow music playing]
1033
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:04,233
[Brad speaking]
1034
00:59:05,367 --> 00:59:06,367
All right, you guys.
1035
00:59:06,367 --> 00:59:08,533
Just me and gold down here
on the bottom.
1036
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,066
Whoo!
1037
00:59:12,300 --> 00:59:13,800
[Vernon speaking]
1038
00:59:24,767 --> 00:59:26,934
[Brad speaking]
1039
00:59:27,367 --> 00:59:28,734
[Vernon speaking]
1040
00:59:37,166 --> 00:59:38,500
[narrator]
Skipper Vernon Adkison
1041
00:59:38,500 --> 00:59:41,100
may be laughing
all the way to the bank...
1042
00:59:41,100 --> 00:59:42,600
[Brad] Whoo!
1043
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,900
[narrator] ...as the second
of three dives in deep water
1044
00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:47,433
appears to be right on track.
1045
00:59:47,867 --> 00:59:49,066
[Brad] That's some gold.
1046
00:59:51,567 --> 00:59:54,000
[Vernon] Yo, Brad, just keep
doing what you're doing.
1047
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,066
You beat Gary's pants off.
1048
00:59:56,066 --> 00:59:58,066
I mean, you left him
in the dirt.
1049
00:59:58,467 --> 01:00:00,667
He... I tell you what,
1050
01:00:00,667 --> 01:00:02,266
he's not looking real happy
right now.
1051
01:00:02,266 --> 01:00:03,867
[laughs]
1052
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,734
[Brad speaking]
1053
01:00:08,734 --> 01:00:10,567
[Gary] That's all right, Brad.
Yeah, I put you on it.
1054
01:00:10,567 --> 01:00:13,066
Just remember,
I was searching around
looking for the [bleep].
1055
01:00:13,066 --> 01:00:14,667
[Brad] Hey, I remember.
I remember.
1056
01:00:14,667 --> 01:00:16,567
[Tony] Blindfolded.
Blindfolded.
1057
01:00:16,567 --> 01:00:18,567
Yeah, man. Uh, so, you know,
1058
01:00:18,567 --> 01:00:20,233
I get all the credit
on this one, buddy.
1059
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,233
[Brad speaking]
1060
01:00:25,367 --> 01:00:27,100
Yeah, man.
We all win on this one,
1061
01:00:27,100 --> 01:00:28,800
so cool. Just keep it up.
1062
01:00:29,266 --> 01:00:30,634
[Brad speaking]
1063
01:00:35,266 --> 01:00:37,333
[Vernon] Once Brad finishes,
next up...
1064
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,600
will be Tony.
1065
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,467
We gotta
keep this train moving.
1066
01:00:42,467 --> 01:00:45,834
The goal is three dives
at 40 feet.
1067
01:00:46,667 --> 01:00:48,166
We're almost there,
1068
01:00:48,166 --> 01:00:49,734
and the best part is
1069
01:00:49,734 --> 01:00:51,266
all the signs are pointing
1070
01:00:51,266 --> 01:00:54,333
towards us being
on absolutely stellar gold.
1071
01:00:55,266 --> 01:00:56,467
[Brad speaking]
1072
01:00:56,467 --> 01:00:58,667
[Vernon] We'll give it
a couple more minutes.
1073
01:00:59,100 --> 01:01:00,300
[Brad speaking]
1074
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,333
[Vernon] Yeah. Come up
and make a decompression stop.
1075
01:01:11,667 --> 01:01:12,533
[Brad speaking]
1076
01:01:14,166 --> 01:01:15,567
[Kevin] Hey, you guys.
Look at that nugget.
1077
01:01:15,567 --> 01:01:17,600
-We need to lift that screen.
-[Vernon] Oh, yeah.
1078
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,233
[Kevn] Look at that [bleep].
1079
01:01:20,867 --> 01:01:21,867
[Vernon] Oh, wow.
1080
01:01:21,867 --> 01:01:24,233
[Kevin] Whoo! [laughs]
1081
01:01:30,166 --> 01:01:31,433
-[Vernon] Really?
-[Gary] Yeah.
1082
01:01:32,266 --> 01:01:33,767
[Brad] Yeah, baby.
1083
01:01:33,767 --> 01:01:35,600
[Kevin] Yeah.
We're rocking and rolling.
1084
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,767
[Vernon]
Brad did a bang-up job.
1085
01:01:37,767 --> 01:01:39,600
All that's left is Tony,
1086
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,734
the greenest guy on the boat.
1087
01:01:41,734 --> 01:01:44,000
Try not to leave
any bare skin showing.
1088
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,066
It's gonna be cold.
1089
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,567
But he's teed up for success.
1090
01:01:47,567 --> 01:01:50,266
All he needs to do is keep
his head on straight
1091
01:01:50,266 --> 01:01:52,000
and hold onto that nozzle.
1092
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,166
[dramatic music playing]
1093
01:01:59,066 --> 01:02:02,934
Tony, just take it
slow and easy.
1094
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,834
[Tony speaking]
1095
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,567
[Vernon] Yeah,
he's breathing okay.
1096
01:02:28,567 --> 01:02:31,000
His air pressure is good.
1097
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,834
[Tony speaking]
1098
01:02:35,266 --> 01:02:36,467
Okay.
1099
01:02:43,467 --> 01:02:44,867
[Tony speaking]
1100
01:02:47,166 --> 01:02:49,166
We'll see how
he does on this dive,
1101
01:02:49,166 --> 01:02:50,367
but I'll let him
stay down there
1102
01:02:50,367 --> 01:02:51,867
as long as he's comfortable,
1103
01:02:51,867 --> 01:02:54,967
or until things start going
haywire on us.
1104
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:58,300
All right, Tony,
at this point,
1105
01:02:58,300 --> 01:02:59,567
the ball is in your court.
1106
01:03:00,100 --> 01:03:01,300
[Tony speaking]
1107
01:03:04,667 --> 01:03:07,567
[narrator] While Vernon's team
feasts in deep water...
1108
01:03:17,467 --> 01:03:21,000
So we're still trying
to move to shallower water.
1109
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,734
We'll get there before
the sun goes down, I hope.
1110
01:03:24,867 --> 01:03:26,767
[narrator] Andy Kelly
is still trying to get
1111
01:03:26,767 --> 01:03:29,266
his ragtag crew
on the right ground.
1112
01:03:30,667 --> 01:03:33,467
At this rate,
who the [bleep] knows
1113
01:03:33,467 --> 01:03:36,333
when I can actually drop
my crawler and go to work.
1114
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,166
I really wish my brother
1115
01:03:38,166 --> 01:03:40,066
would've came
for this gong show.
1116
01:03:40,867 --> 01:03:42,867
Got a guy
that can't drive the boat.
1117
01:03:42,867 --> 01:03:44,867
I have a boat
that's a piece of [bleep].
1118
01:03:44,867 --> 01:03:48,333
I have water that's nasty
as [bleep] on the bottom.
1119
01:03:53,300 --> 01:03:55,467
When we set out at
the beginning of the season,
1120
01:03:55,467 --> 01:03:59,467
it was supposed to be
the Mistress and the crawler
with the All-In.
1121
01:03:59,467 --> 01:04:02,100
But we got a captain
that's worse than Gilligan,
1122
01:04:02,100 --> 01:04:04,367
his cousin.
1123
01:04:04,367 --> 01:04:07,166
And we're trying to think
he's gonna find 35 to 40 feet
1124
01:04:07,166 --> 01:04:09,634
with the [bleep] depth-finder
in front of him.
1125
01:04:11,567 --> 01:04:13,767
If he can't find
35 to 40 feet,
1126
01:04:13,767 --> 01:04:15,634
everything's gonna be
on the Mistress.
1127
01:04:18,066 --> 01:04:20,333
Well, we've landed in a spot.
1128
01:04:21,367 --> 01:04:23,066
Everybody says
we're at a good depth.
1129
01:04:24,867 --> 01:04:25,667
[Daniel speaking]
1130
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:27,800
Okay.
1131
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:29,100
I just gotta drop her down.
1132
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:31,934
[suspenseful music playing]
1133
01:04:35,667 --> 01:04:37,367
[Daniel speaking]
1134
01:04:40,734 --> 01:04:42,367
[Andy] Oh, man,
1135
01:04:42,367 --> 01:04:45,166
my day just got so much worse.
1136
01:04:47,767 --> 01:04:49,066
So what happened?
1137
01:04:52,767 --> 01:04:55,166
[Daniel speaking]
1138
01:05:05,367 --> 01:05:06,967
We noticed
there's a little bit of oil,
1139
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,000
and when it comes
to hydraulics
1140
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,266
and everything else,
you gotta be
1141
01:05:10,266 --> 01:05:11,467
very careful with it
1142
01:05:11,467 --> 01:05:13,667
because if any
of my lines blow,
1143
01:05:13,667 --> 01:05:17,100
the hydraulic fluid
will flow into the ocean
as fast as it can.
1144
01:05:17,100 --> 01:05:18,567
And I don't want that.
1145
01:05:21,100 --> 01:05:23,200
We got a hydraulic
fluid leak.
1146
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,867
We don't want that
for two reasons.
1147
01:05:24,867 --> 01:05:28,000
One, you can't have the fluid
leaking into the Bering Sea.
1148
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,600
Those hydraulic lines
are what controls the crawler.
1149
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:31,767
And number three,
1150
01:05:31,767 --> 01:05:33,900
this [bleep] costs
too much money.
1151
01:05:33,900 --> 01:05:35,567
If those lines aren't fixed,
1152
01:05:35,567 --> 01:05:36,900
we can't mine.
1153
01:05:36,900 --> 01:05:38,800
[Daniel speaking]
1154
01:05:40,467 --> 01:05:42,834
[Andy] See, how the [bleep]
could it even break
right there?
1155
01:05:48,166 --> 01:05:49,367
[Andy] Okay.
1156
01:05:50,467 --> 01:05:51,834
There's always something.
1157
01:05:55,367 --> 01:05:57,400
To be honest,
I don't even know how
it's even leaking there
1158
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,100
because nothing even hits
that connector.
1159
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:04,767
So I don't know if it's
wear and tear or what.
1160
01:06:04,767 --> 01:06:06,266
I don't know how
the [bleep] I did it.
1161
01:06:06,266 --> 01:06:08,500
So basically we're just
gonna call it a day,
1162
01:06:08,500 --> 01:06:10,266
'cause we don't wanna [bleep]
have a leak or anything
1163
01:06:10,266 --> 01:06:12,266
or a line blow off and...
1164
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,100
This has been
a cluster [bleep] day.
1165
01:06:15,100 --> 01:06:17,033
I should have
stayed in bed today.
1166
01:06:19,100 --> 01:06:21,734
Hey, I'm just packing up.
Let's go in.
1167
01:06:26,500 --> 01:06:28,166
The crawler
got nothing today.
1168
01:06:28,166 --> 01:06:30,767
I have to go back to town
and get this leak fixed.
1169
01:06:30,767 --> 01:06:33,600
Then at the most, we'll get
one more chance to mine.
1170
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,767
I hope my brother's
killing it on the Mistress
1171
01:06:35,767 --> 01:06:37,266
'cause we're gonna need it.
1172
01:06:39,767 --> 01:06:42,000
I'm gonna go to town,
get the part I need,
1173
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,667
replace everything I need to
1174
01:06:43,667 --> 01:06:46,634
and come back out
and try again.
1175
01:06:48,266 --> 01:06:50,166
Hopefully my crew
will be a little bit better.
1176
01:06:50,166 --> 01:06:51,634
I don't know.
1177
01:06:54,266 --> 01:06:56,734
[dramatic music playing]
1178
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:19,066
[Jeff speaking]
1179
01:07:19,767 --> 01:07:20,934
[Zeke] Hi.
1180
01:07:22,734 --> 01:07:24,166
[Zeke speaking]
1181
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,266
[narrator] Zeke Tenhoff
is ready to see if his season
1182
01:07:30,266 --> 01:07:31,867
can hit new heights
1183
01:07:31,867 --> 01:07:34,634
as he motors
towards his raised goal.
1184
01:07:36,166 --> 01:07:36,967
[Jeff speaking]
1185
01:07:36,967 --> 01:07:37,734
[Zeke speaking]
1186
01:07:39,967 --> 01:07:41,667
This has been
a pretty weird summer.
1187
01:07:41,667 --> 01:07:43,266
We've already had
a great season,
1188
01:07:43,266 --> 01:07:44,967
but we've also had
the worst storm
1189
01:07:44,967 --> 01:07:47,133
that I've seen in Nome
in my whole life.
1190
01:07:50,867 --> 01:07:52,567
If this clean-out
is a good one,
1191
01:07:52,567 --> 01:07:53,734
then we'll be back on track
1192
01:07:53,734 --> 01:07:55,900
to having a 150-ounce season.
1193
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:57,734
That would be huge
for my gold mining future
1194
01:07:57,734 --> 01:07:58,834
with the Synergy.
1195
01:08:02,066 --> 01:08:03,467
[Jeff] Nice and clean.
1196
01:08:04,367 --> 01:08:05,867
And we should
weigh out this gold.
1197
01:08:05,867 --> 01:08:07,066
Let's see what we got.
1198
01:08:07,066 --> 01:08:10,200
[suspenseful music playing]
1199
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:11,800
[Zeke] Two ounces,
1200
01:08:12,266 --> 01:08:13,467
five, six...
1201
01:08:13,467 --> 01:08:16,400
[Jeff] Seven, eight,
1202
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,867
10, 11, 12,
1203
01:08:18,867 --> 01:08:20,467
13, 14, 15,
1204
01:08:20,467 --> 01:08:22,166
16, 17, 18,
1205
01:08:22,166 --> 01:08:24,567
19, 20, 21, 22,
1206
01:08:24,567 --> 01:08:28,000
23, 24,
1207
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:32,667
24.2.
1208
01:08:32,667 --> 01:08:33,567
[Zeke] Sweet.
1209
01:08:33,567 --> 01:08:35,100
[narrator] 24.2 ounces
1210
01:08:35,100 --> 01:08:37,166
is worth over $43,000.
1211
01:08:37,166 --> 01:08:38,467
And just like that,
1212
01:08:38,467 --> 01:08:39,767
the Tenhoff team
1213
01:08:39,767 --> 01:08:41,333
is back with a bang.
1214
01:08:41,867 --> 01:08:42,934
Right on.
1215
01:08:44,834 --> 01:08:46,266
I'm really proud
of what we've been able
1216
01:08:46,266 --> 01:08:47,567
to accomplish this summer.
1217
01:08:47,567 --> 01:08:49,934
We just keep crushing it
over and over.
1218
01:08:51,367 --> 01:08:53,066
I've already
hit a career best,
1219
01:08:53,066 --> 01:08:56,266
but let's see if we can cross
that 150-ounce mark.
1220
01:08:56,266 --> 01:08:58,567
If we keep having clean-outs
that are this good,
1221
01:08:58,567 --> 01:09:00,166
the sky is the limit.
1222
01:09:02,266 --> 01:09:05,000
It's like 25,
30 ounces every time.
1223
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:06,367
I'll take that.
1224
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,533
It's really good money.
1225
01:09:10,667 --> 01:09:12,667
[narrator]
Back out on the water...
1226
01:09:12,667 --> 01:09:15,800
[upbeat music playing]
1227
01:09:20,467 --> 01:09:22,200
...with one half
of Reaper Nation
1228
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,066
already in the harbor...
1229
01:09:24,066 --> 01:09:25,233
[Kris speaking]
1230
01:09:26,166 --> 01:09:27,900
Everything is going great.
1231
01:09:28,767 --> 01:09:30,200
Oh, yeah, baby.
1232
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:31,400
[narrator] Captain Kris
1233
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,867
is milking his newly
uncovered pay streak
1234
01:09:33,867 --> 01:09:35,634
for all it's worth.
1235
01:09:36,266 --> 01:09:37,967
We had a pretty good day.
1236
01:09:37,967 --> 01:09:39,900
Everything's going
the right way.
1237
01:09:39,900 --> 01:09:41,834
People are doing
everything the way
1238
01:09:41,834 --> 01:09:43,533
I trained them to.
1239
01:09:47,266 --> 01:09:49,433
[upbeat music playing]
1240
01:09:56,266 --> 01:09:57,433
[Kris] How's it look?
1241
01:09:58,266 --> 01:09:59,266
[man speaking]
1242
01:09:59,266 --> 01:10:01,834
[Kris] Yeah, we're doing good.
1243
01:10:03,100 --> 01:10:04,367
Oh, yeah.
1244
01:10:05,367 --> 01:10:06,900
Crew changes right now,
1245
01:10:06,900 --> 01:10:08,567
so we got like 11 and a half,
1246
01:10:08,567 --> 01:10:10,400
11 hours of a 12-hour shift,
1247
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,233
which is pretty [bleep] good.
1248
01:10:13,266 --> 01:10:15,734
I insisted on looking
for something amazing
1249
01:10:15,734 --> 01:10:18,467
and not settling
on an ordinary pay streak,
1250
01:10:18,467 --> 01:10:20,767
and I was right
to stick to my guns.
1251
01:10:20,767 --> 01:10:22,266
It's paying off.
1252
01:10:22,266 --> 01:10:24,467
These are the kind
of decisions that will make
1253
01:10:24,467 --> 01:10:27,367
the difference of us
hitting our goal or not.
1254
01:10:27,367 --> 01:10:30,033
This might have been
our best day of the season.
1255
01:10:30,967 --> 01:10:32,066
Whoa.
1256
01:10:32,066 --> 01:10:33,367
How's it going, guys?
1257
01:10:33,734 --> 01:10:34,567
[man speaking]
1258
01:10:34,567 --> 01:10:35,867
[Kris] Uh, we got 11,
1259
01:10:35,867 --> 01:10:36,900
11-and-a-half hours
1260
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:38,200
of running today.
1261
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,800
On gold 90% of the time.
1262
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,667
Now we're gonna pass
the baton over to James
1263
01:10:45,667 --> 01:10:46,834
and the night crew.
1264
01:10:47,967 --> 01:10:50,567
We just need these guys
to stick on what I found
1265
01:10:50,567 --> 01:10:52,667
and keep grinding like crazy.
1266
01:10:52,667 --> 01:10:55,467
We just might finish
this season with a bang.
1267
01:10:55,467 --> 01:10:57,266
And, buddy,
you're gonna do great.
1268
01:10:58,734 --> 01:11:01,934
So good. We're going.
Uh, any problems,
1269
01:11:02,467 --> 01:11:04,500
take care of 'em.
1270
01:11:04,500 --> 01:11:07,266
Yeah. Okay.
So just do what you do.
1271
01:11:07,266 --> 01:11:08,533
I'll see you tomorrow.
1272
01:11:10,367 --> 01:11:12,533
Bye, boys.
1273
01:11:12,967 --> 01:11:14,533
Have a good night.
1274
01:11:15,367 --> 01:11:17,333
[Kris] Okay.
Good job, everybody.
1275
01:11:18,467 --> 01:11:19,567
It's a strange coincidence,
1276
01:11:19,567 --> 01:11:21,100
but things always go better
1277
01:11:21,100 --> 01:11:22,734
when I'm on the boat.
1278
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,634
[narrator] As Kris heads in,
1279
01:11:27,367 --> 01:11:30,467
there's still one captain
out on the water.
1280
01:11:33,467 --> 01:11:36,000
-[Vernon speaking]
-[Tony speaking]
1281
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,634
Tell us what's going on.
1282
01:11:39,834 --> 01:11:41,934
[Tony speaking]
1283
01:11:43,767 --> 01:11:45,433
[Vernon] All right. All right.
1284
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,734
[narrator] As daylight fades,
1285
01:11:48,734 --> 01:11:52,467
Vernon Adkison's three-dive
marathon in deep water
1286
01:11:52,467 --> 01:11:54,333
is nearing the finish line.
1287
01:11:55,467 --> 01:11:57,333
[Vernon] Good dive. I like it.
1288
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,467
He did two hours.
1289
01:11:59,467 --> 01:12:01,367
He was in gold the entire time
1290
01:12:01,367 --> 01:12:02,667
he was down there.
1291
01:12:08,767 --> 01:12:10,166
[Tony speaking]
1292
01:12:11,767 --> 01:12:13,266
[Vernon] Yeah.
Tony, you're done.
1293
01:12:13,266 --> 01:12:14,834
Make a decompression
stop
1294
01:12:14,834 --> 01:12:15,967
and come on up.
1295
01:12:15,967 --> 01:12:17,767
[Tony speaking]
1296
01:12:17,767 --> 01:12:20,066
There haven't been
any days this season
1297
01:12:20,066 --> 01:12:22,400
when I've had
all my men on base
1298
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,600
and knocked
it out of the park.
1299
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,266
Most divers
won't touch 40 feet,
1300
01:12:27,266 --> 01:12:29,266
but my divers came through.
1301
01:12:30,767 --> 01:12:32,033
[Brad speaking]
1302
01:12:39,467 --> 01:12:40,567
[Brad] It's been a long day.
1303
01:12:40,567 --> 01:12:42,667
Wake up and do it
again tomorrow.
1304
01:12:42,667 --> 01:12:44,066
[Vernon] All right.
Let's do it.
1305
01:12:44,667 --> 01:12:46,266
Pulling out the lens.
1306
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:51,667
[man] Forty feet long.
1307
01:12:51,667 --> 01:12:52,767
[Tony speaking]
1308
01:12:52,767 --> 01:12:54,367
[man] From the flare
up to that.
1309
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,233
Let me get this over
to that side.
1310
01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:07,533
[Vernon] It's been
a hell of a day.
1311
01:13:08,066 --> 01:13:09,066
We got it done.
1312
01:13:09,066 --> 01:13:10,266
It took a team effort,
1313
01:13:10,266 --> 01:13:12,166
but the good part is, I mean,
1314
01:13:12,166 --> 01:13:14,200
we got into
some really good gold,
1315
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,834
and it was pretty
[bleep] juicy.
1316
01:13:23,667 --> 01:13:25,066
[announcer] And now,
kick back for another
1317
01:13:25,066 --> 01:13:27,133
Social Hour with Vernon.
1318
01:13:27,767 --> 01:13:29,734
All right. @HoppySchlopppy,
1319
01:13:29,734 --> 01:13:32,367
"Talk about your time
in San Francisco.
1320
01:13:32,734 --> 01:13:34,066
Any wild stories?"
1321
01:13:34,767 --> 01:13:36,000
Well, I've got a lot of 'em,
1322
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,467
but I don't remember
most of 'em.
1323
01:13:37,467 --> 01:13:38,600
They say if you were there,
1324
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:40,166
you don't... probably
don't remember it.
1325
01:13:40,166 --> 01:13:41,834
And [bleep], I was there.
1326
01:13:41,834 --> 01:13:44,166
[upbeat music playing]
1327
01:13:44,166 --> 01:13:45,734
First time I went
to San Francisco
1328
01:13:45,734 --> 01:13:47,567
was in the summer of '66,
1329
01:13:47,567 --> 01:13:50,500
and then I was also
there the summer of '67.
1330
01:13:50,500 --> 01:13:52,266
One of those years
was the Summer of Love.
1331
01:13:52,266 --> 01:13:54,000
I can't remember
which one it was.
1332
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,934
But believe me, baby, I was
there for the Summer of Love.
1333
01:13:56,934 --> 01:13:59,000
[upbeat music playing]
1334
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,667
I saw some of the best
bands in the world.
1335
01:14:01,667 --> 01:14:03,934
Unfortunately,
I can't remember most of 'em
1336
01:14:03,934 --> 01:14:05,867
because like I said,
I might've been a little high
1337
01:14:05,867 --> 01:14:06,934
at the time.
1338
01:14:06,934 --> 01:14:08,166
I saw the Grateful Dead.
1339
01:14:08,166 --> 01:14:10,600
I saw Santana,
I saw B.B. King,
1340
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,467
I saw Joan Baez.
1341
01:14:13,467 --> 01:14:15,967
Jim Croce, he sat
at the end of my bar,
1342
01:14:15,967 --> 01:14:18,000
so did Harry Chapin,
1343
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,900
and so did Randy Newman...
1344
01:14:35,266 --> 01:14:36,667
[announcer]
Thanks for joining us
1345
01:14:36,667 --> 01:14:40,834
for another
Social Hour with Vernon.
1346
01:14:40,834 --> 01:14:43,133
[Vernon] But anyway,
he [bleep] fired me.
1347
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,834
[upbeat music playing]
1348
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,033
[Kris] Okay. Four buckets.
1349
01:14:55,867 --> 01:14:57,000
Ooh, this is heavy.
1350
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,367
Ooh, there's lots
of gold right on top too.
1351
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:01,867
Ooh, that's a good problem.
1352
01:15:01,867 --> 01:15:04,266
[narrator] After a strong day
aboard the Mistress,
1353
01:15:04,266 --> 01:15:05,867
Captain Kris is ready to reap
1354
01:15:05,867 --> 01:15:08,133
the fruits of his leadership.
1355
01:15:10,467 --> 01:15:12,300
I think that's
everything, boys.
1356
01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:13,834
[man] Who wants to ride
in the back?
1357
01:15:13,834 --> 01:15:15,867
[Kris] Who wants to ride
in the back with the gold?
1358
01:15:15,867 --> 01:15:18,400
Right now, it sounds
like Andy and the All-In
1359
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:19,266
[bleep] the bed.
1360
01:15:19,266 --> 01:15:20,867
But I was able
to get the Mistress
1361
01:15:20,867 --> 01:15:24,100
on good ground
and grind on it all day.
1362
01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:26,000
The end of summer's
coming any day,
1363
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,166
so right now,
I need this clean-out
to be the best it can be.
1364
01:15:29,166 --> 01:15:32,367
I have a feeling
this is gonna be great.
1365
01:15:32,367 --> 01:15:34,634
[man] Gold panning action,
baby.
1366
01:15:36,467 --> 01:15:38,567
Everybody needs this.
Everybody needs money.
1367
01:15:38,567 --> 01:15:39,834
Everybody's gotta pay bills.
1368
01:15:39,834 --> 01:15:41,266
And at the end of the day,
1369
01:15:41,266 --> 01:15:42,800
you know, the proof
is in the pudding.
1370
01:15:43,867 --> 01:15:45,100
Kris, what's your guesstimate?
1371
01:15:45,100 --> 01:15:46,667
How much gold
you got in the pan?
1372
01:15:46,667 --> 01:15:49,233
There's definitely
20-something ounces here.
1373
01:15:50,033 --> 01:15:51,467
This operation makes money.
1374
01:15:51,467 --> 01:15:52,867
That's the long story short.
1375
01:15:52,867 --> 01:15:54,567
This operation
definitely makes money.
1376
01:15:54,567 --> 01:15:57,367
Now, we've dialed it in
and we're still,
1377
01:15:57,367 --> 01:15:58,967
you know,
not even running at 100%.
1378
01:15:58,967 --> 01:15:59,934
Yeah.
1379
01:15:59,934 --> 01:16:02,000
Here we go. Drum roll, please.
1380
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,533
[drum roll playing]
1381
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,100
Okay. We got one, two...
1382
01:16:07,100 --> 01:16:08,567
[Kris] That's three.
1383
01:16:08,567 --> 01:16:10,967
[man] Four, five.
1384
01:16:10,967 --> 01:16:13,367
-[Kris] Seven, nine.
-Ten, almost.
1385
01:16:13,367 --> 01:16:15,266
Ten.
1386
01:16:15,266 --> 01:16:16,734
Maybe do it a little faster.
1387
01:16:17,467 --> 01:16:19,266
[man] Eighteen, 19...
1388
01:16:19,266 --> 01:16:20,834
[Kris] Plus pickers.
1389
01:16:21,767 --> 01:16:23,667
[man] So we found
two good-size pickers.
1390
01:16:23,667 --> 01:16:25,233
Beautiful pieces here.
1391
01:16:27,367 --> 01:16:29,033
23.15.
1392
01:16:29,033 --> 01:16:30,066
Come on, [bleep],
1393
01:16:30,066 --> 01:16:31,767
-that's pretty good.
-Not bad.
1394
01:16:31,767 --> 01:16:34,166
[narrator] 23.15 ounces.
1395
01:16:34,166 --> 01:16:36,233
It's worth over
forty-one grand,
1396
01:16:37,266 --> 01:16:40,100
and Reaper Nation
is creeping closer
1397
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:44,000
to their revised
175-ounce goal.
1398
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:46,467
Congratulations. We did it.
1399
01:16:46,467 --> 01:16:47,667
Gimme some love, people.
1400
01:16:47,667 --> 01:16:49,166
-Andy, gimme some love.
-Sounds good.
1401
01:16:49,166 --> 01:16:50,867
That was a decent
haul on the Mistress.
1402
01:16:50,867 --> 01:16:52,767
And because of what happened
with the crawler,
1403
01:16:52,767 --> 01:16:54,033
we need every flake.
1404
01:16:54,033 --> 01:16:56,266
Now we're about
to enter do-or-die time.
1405
01:16:56,266 --> 01:16:59,934
We'll have maybe one more
chance to get at it.
1406
01:16:59,934 --> 01:17:02,967
We'll need both the Mistress
and the crawler on gold,
1407
01:17:02,967 --> 01:17:04,500
or we'll be in so much debt
1408
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,767
that it will be the end
of Reaper Nation.
1409
01:17:06,767 --> 01:17:08,734
After all the bull [bleep]
we've been through,
1410
01:17:08,734 --> 01:17:10,367
I think that's a good number.
1411
01:17:10,367 --> 01:17:11,867
Okay, throw it in the jar.
1412
01:17:11,867 --> 01:17:13,834
Let's get
the [bleep] outta here.
1413
01:17:13,834 --> 01:17:17,066
I'm happy. More money
equals more happiness.
1414
01:17:17,066 --> 01:17:19,533
It just works like that,
for some reason.
1415
01:17:21,667 --> 01:17:23,367
[narrator]
Back in the harbor...
1416
01:17:23,367 --> 01:17:26,500
[upbeat music playing]
1417
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:28,734
[Vernon] We got in
with some really good gold.
1418
01:17:28,734 --> 01:17:30,066
I think you guys did
1419
01:17:30,066 --> 01:17:32,567
an exemplary job
of getting it.
1420
01:17:32,567 --> 01:17:35,033
I was, uh, I was pretty
impressed with it.
1421
01:17:36,367 --> 01:17:39,000
[narrator] After completing
his three-dive day...
1422
01:17:39,567 --> 01:17:41,634
[Brad] Whoo. [laughs]
1423
01:17:42,867 --> 01:17:44,667
[Vernon] You got
on some good gold.
1424
01:17:44,667 --> 01:17:46,867
[narrator] ...Vernon Adkison
is in desperate need
1425
01:17:46,867 --> 01:17:49,367
of a late-season boost
on the scale.
1426
01:17:50,667 --> 01:17:52,900
[Vernon] So it's still
looking pretty juicy.
1427
01:17:53,667 --> 01:17:55,000
It's been a rough season,
1428
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,567
but we're finally
starting to get gold
1429
01:17:56,567 --> 01:17:57,967
on this deep ground.
1430
01:17:57,967 --> 01:18:00,066
We may only have one
more day on the water,
1431
01:18:00,066 --> 01:18:02,734
so we really need
for this day to count.
1432
01:18:03,166 --> 01:18:05,166
All right.
1433
01:18:05,166 --> 01:18:06,467
Come on over here.
We're getting ready
1434
01:18:06,467 --> 01:18:08,000
to do the weigh.
1435
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,967
No matter
what that scale says,
1436
01:18:09,967 --> 01:18:12,066
I know my team
gave it their all.
1437
01:18:15,467 --> 01:18:17,166
All right. Here we go.
1438
01:18:17,467 --> 01:18:18,567
Come on.
1439
01:18:19,100 --> 01:18:21,233
Baby needs new shoes.
1440
01:18:21,867 --> 01:18:23,900
There's two, three,
1441
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,934
four, five,
1442
01:18:26,934 --> 01:18:28,266
six,
1443
01:18:28,266 --> 01:18:30,166
seven, eight,
1444
01:18:30,166 --> 01:18:31,934
nine,
1445
01:18:31,934 --> 01:18:33,100
ten... Come on, ten.
1446
01:18:33,100 --> 01:18:35,000
Come on, ten. There you go.
1447
01:18:35,667 --> 01:18:38,400
10.37.
1448
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:39,300
All right.
1449
01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:41,000
[narrator] 10.3 ounces
1450
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,066
is worth over 18 grand.
1451
01:18:43,066 --> 01:18:44,667
Not exactly a bonanza,
1452
01:18:44,667 --> 01:18:46,667
but it is the salty captain's
1453
01:18:46,667 --> 01:18:49,567
best clean-out
of the season so far.
1454
01:18:49,567 --> 01:18:51,066
Yeah,
that's pretty good stuff.
1455
01:18:52,367 --> 01:18:53,667
Get the deep water.
1456
01:18:53,667 --> 01:18:55,300
Found out
what I need to know.
1457
01:18:55,300 --> 01:18:57,867
That's where it's at,
as far as I'm concerned.
1458
01:18:57,867 --> 01:18:59,266
Are we getting rich?
1459
01:18:59,266 --> 01:19:00,767
No. But you know what?
1460
01:19:00,767 --> 01:19:02,767
I'm proud of my guys.
1461
01:19:02,767 --> 01:19:04,600
They really put
their stones out there
1462
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,066
diving that deep,
and it paid off.
1463
01:19:07,066 --> 01:19:08,600
This was a big gamble
1464
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,266
and we raked in the gold.
1465
01:19:10,266 --> 01:19:11,400
But you know what?
1466
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,166
There's no rest
for the wicked.
1467
01:19:13,166 --> 01:19:15,500
We're gonna have to do it
all again, and then some,
1468
01:19:15,500 --> 01:19:17,967
if we're gonna finish
where we need to be.
1469
01:19:17,967 --> 01:19:19,367
Right at the end of the season
1470
01:19:19,367 --> 01:19:21,600
is when things
start coming together.
1471
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:25,066
I've got all my equipment
working a lot better,
1472
01:19:25,066 --> 01:19:27,100
and I've got divers,
1473
01:19:27,100 --> 01:19:29,667
and I've got
real good ground to work.
1474
01:19:29,667 --> 01:19:32,367
The fact is, you can't quit.
1475
01:19:32,367 --> 01:19:33,367
You gotta persevere.
1476
01:19:33,367 --> 01:19:34,400
If you quit,
1477
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,200
you're not gonna get any gold.
1478
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,667
Let's get this
bagged and tagged.
1479
01:19:40,066 --> 01:19:42,033
The prognosis is,
1480
01:19:42,033 --> 01:19:43,834
more gold in the future.
1481
01:19:45,867 --> 01:19:47,467
[narrator]
Just across the harbor...
1482
01:19:50,734 --> 01:19:52,533
[Shawn] Time to check the box.
1483
01:19:55,567 --> 01:19:56,934
[man] Look at this.
1484
01:19:57,266 --> 01:19:58,900
Dude, it's loaded.
1485
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:00,767
Look at that.
1486
01:20:00,767 --> 01:20:02,634
Piles of gold.
1487
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:07,166
[narrator] With a hardy haul
from the Christine Rose,
1488
01:20:07,166 --> 01:20:08,600
it's time to tell the tale
1489
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,033
of the scale for Mr. Gold.
1490
01:20:12,934 --> 01:20:14,033
[man] I'm hoping this cleanup
1491
01:20:14,033 --> 01:20:17,266
is better than 50 ounces.
1492
01:20:18,300 --> 01:20:19,967
[Shawn] I thought I found
the silver bullet
1493
01:20:19,967 --> 01:20:21,734
for the rest of the season,
1494
01:20:21,734 --> 01:20:23,767
but that wasn't
Northwest Gold Creek.
1495
01:20:23,767 --> 01:20:25,967
I still got
some ounces out there.
1496
01:20:25,967 --> 01:20:28,333
But the good news is,
Cody crushed it.
1497
01:20:30,066 --> 01:20:32,734
So hopefully we still had
the kind of day we needed.
1498
01:20:39,934 --> 01:20:41,233
[Cody] Wow.
1499
01:20:41,734 --> 01:20:43,567
Piles of gold.
1500
01:20:45,100 --> 01:20:46,233
Looks good.
1501
01:20:47,367 --> 01:20:49,967
Hopefully it'll be, like,
60 ounces, maybe more.
1502
01:20:49,967 --> 01:20:52,100
I don't know. Maybe less.
1503
01:20:52,100 --> 01:20:53,867
[Shawn] Let's get
this gold on the scale.
1504
01:20:53,867 --> 01:20:56,166
See what the heck we got.
1505
01:20:56,166 --> 01:20:58,634
[Cody] Well, hopefully
it'll hold us over.
1506
01:21:00,166 --> 01:21:03,333
[upbeat music playing]
1507
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:11,266
[Shawn] There's 20,
1508
01:21:11,266 --> 01:21:12,767
30,
1509
01:21:12,767 --> 01:21:13,767
there's 40.
1510
01:21:13,767 --> 01:21:15,467
We're heading for 60.
1511
01:21:17,934 --> 01:21:19,834
[man] Oh, that's...
1512
01:21:20,266 --> 01:21:21,934
[Cody] Seventy-three.
1513
01:21:22,667 --> 01:21:24,166
-That's awesome.
-[Shawn] I think
1514
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:25,800
it's [bleep] amazing.
1515
01:21:28,166 --> 01:21:29,567
[narrator]
Seventy-three ounces
1516
01:21:29,567 --> 01:21:33,467
rings in at over $131,000,
1517
01:21:33,467 --> 01:21:35,266
keeping Shawn
within striking distance
1518
01:21:35,266 --> 01:21:37,233
of his goal for the season.
1519
01:21:39,500 --> 01:21:40,667
[Shawn] Good job, guys.
1520
01:21:42,066 --> 01:21:44,600
I wish the Myrtle had more
to do with this clean-out,
1521
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:46,266
but I'll take it.
1522
01:21:46,266 --> 01:21:49,100
This season's been
a grind like no other.
1523
01:21:49,100 --> 01:21:51,567
With the hell that's rained
down upon us this summer,
1524
01:21:51,567 --> 01:21:52,767
it would say a lot
1525
01:21:52,767 --> 01:21:55,100
if ultimately,
we could hit our number.
1526
01:21:55,667 --> 01:21:57,266
[Cody] Good job.
1527
01:21:57,266 --> 01:21:59,266
-[Shawn] Nice job, man.
-Another good run.
1528
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:04,367
[Shawn] I need some more gold.
1529
01:22:04,367 --> 01:22:07,233
Never enough. Never enough.
1530
01:22:09,767 --> 01:22:11,100
[narrator] Across the fleet,
1531
01:22:11,100 --> 01:22:13,834
the miners inch closer
to their goals
1532
01:22:13,834 --> 01:22:15,834
as the end
of the season looms
1533
01:22:15,834 --> 01:22:17,433
just around the corner.
1534
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:21,000
Next time
1535
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,867
on Bering Sea Gold...
1536
01:22:23,867 --> 01:22:26,166
[Emily] Got one more day
left of the season,
1537
01:22:26,166 --> 01:22:27,533
it's like now or never.
1538
01:22:28,500 --> 01:22:30,166
[Shawn] Here we go.
1539
01:22:30,166 --> 01:22:31,634
[man] This is our lucky run.
1540
01:22:32,734 --> 01:22:34,634
We gotta finish
this season with a bang.
1541
01:22:36,567 --> 01:22:38,834
All right, buddy.
Get money!
1542
01:22:40,367 --> 01:22:41,934
It's all about the gold.
1543
01:22:41,934 --> 01:22:44,200
Oh, yeah.
1544
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:45,533
We're piling up the gold.
1545
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,166
[Kris] We're killing it
right now.
1546
01:22:49,166 --> 01:22:50,266
Whoo-hoo!
1547
01:22:51,166 --> 01:22:53,300
This is some of the best
gold I've seen
1548
01:22:53,300 --> 01:22:54,433
since I've been in Nome.
1549
01:22:55,667 --> 01:22:58,233
[Emily] Whoo-hoo!
We're making money at the end.
1550
01:22:59,767 --> 01:23:02,233
[man speaking]
1551
01:23:03,300 --> 01:23:05,667
Looks like the storm is coming
in earlier than we thought.
1552
01:23:05,667 --> 01:23:07,266
[Kris] We're gonna
keep pressing hard
1553
01:23:07,266 --> 01:23:09,133
until the ocean
makes us leave.
1554
01:23:10,567 --> 01:23:12,266

[Emily speaking]
1556
01:23:13,367 --> 01:23:14,500
[man] You can't see anything.
1557
01:23:14,500 --> 01:23:15,467
It's just black.
1558
01:23:15,467 --> 01:23:16,767
We gotta get outta here.
1559

[man speaking]
1560
01:23:18,367 --> 01:23:19,767
[man 2] Come up, come up.
