1
00:00:16,751 --> 00:00:20,219
[narrator]
a monster has
returned to the sea.
2
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:25,224
Long thought dead...
3
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:29,995
The beast is alive...
4
00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:32,865
And it has
an insatiable
hunger.
5
00:00:33,901 --> 00:00:35,067
A hunger...
6
00:00:35,102 --> 00:00:36,235
Holy [bleep]!
7
00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:40,072
...For gold.
8
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:45,944
It lives
to excavate.
9
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:48,247
[man] where are
you hiding?
10
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:52,451
No one can
survive its attack.
11
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:54,053
[woman screams]
12
00:00:54,088 --> 00:00:55,387
we're [bleep].
13
00:00:55,423 --> 00:00:57,723
-[sinister laugh]
-[explosion]
14
00:00:57,758 --> 00:01:00,826
[narrator]
who will be
her next victim?
15
00:01:00,861 --> 00:01:03,362
You can run,
but you can't hide.
16
00:01:03,397 --> 00:01:04,329
[screams]
17
00:01:06,067 --> 00:01:08,734
[narrator] it's
the myrtle irene.
18
00:01:24,118 --> 00:01:25,217
[shawn] I've
stretched myself
19
00:01:25,252 --> 00:01:26,718
pretty thin
this season.
20
00:01:26,754 --> 00:01:29,154
We just need
to get this thing
up and running.
21
00:01:29,757 --> 00:01:31,056
We'll get it
running.
22
00:01:31,092 --> 00:01:33,225
Haven't got much
more on it.
23
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:34,593
[narrator]
midway through
the season,
24
00:01:34,628 --> 00:01:35,928
captain
shawn pomrenke
25
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:38,564
has already reached
the breaking point.
26
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,332
[shawn] this one's
a little heavier.
27
00:01:41,802 --> 00:01:44,336
I'm [bleep] deep
into this thing.
We need...
28
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:46,472
I need to
[bleep] pile up...
29
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:49,541
600 ounces to get
my money back.
30
00:01:49,577 --> 00:01:51,210
[man] we can do it.
31
00:01:51,846 --> 00:01:52,878
[shawn]
at this point,
32
00:01:52,913 --> 00:01:54,746
we're about
halfway through
the season.
33
00:01:54,782 --> 00:01:56,982
There's no making up
for lost time now.
34
00:01:57,017 --> 00:01:59,384
We need
everything
to go right.
35
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:02,121
I owe a million
on the tomcod,
36
00:02:02,156 --> 00:02:05,057
$1.5 million on
the inland mine...
37
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:08,060
And the myrtle
is supposed
to be $350,000,
38
00:02:08,095 --> 00:02:10,529
but I'm in at
way more than
that right now.
39
00:02:15,035 --> 00:02:16,135
But today's
the day,
40
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:18,003
we're finally
going to fire up
the myrtle.
41
00:02:18,038 --> 00:02:20,372
I need this
to go off
without a hitch.
42
00:02:20,407 --> 00:02:21,907
Otherwise,
I'm screwed.
43
00:02:24,044 --> 00:02:25,344
How's it going,
dave?
44
00:02:25,846 --> 00:02:26,945
How's it going?
45
00:02:26,981 --> 00:02:29,047
Getting it out.
Looking good.
46
00:02:29,083 --> 00:02:30,516
-We're
getting there.
-Huh?
47
00:02:30,551 --> 00:02:32,251
Yeah, we're
getting close.
48
00:02:32,286 --> 00:02:33,719
That's just
a little bit
of wiring
49
00:02:33,754 --> 00:02:35,053
and fire
everything up
50
00:02:35,089 --> 00:02:36,288
and cross
the fingers,
51
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:37,356
and hope
everything works
52
00:02:37,391 --> 00:02:39,024
the way
it's supposed to.
53
00:02:39,059 --> 00:02:40,792
-That's it, huh?
-That's the plan.
54
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:43,095
I'm not leaving
until this thing's
digging, so.
55
00:02:43,764 --> 00:02:44,830
-Okay.
-Let's go.
56
00:02:52,173 --> 00:02:53,172
Checking in.
57
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:59,311
Goldy's welding
the intake for
the flurry pump.
58
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,047
Still got to get
electrical from
the cage here.
59
00:03:02,816 --> 00:03:03,782
We've already
completed
60
00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:06,018
most of the
big redesign.
61
00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:07,452
We've lowered
the wash plant
62
00:03:07,488 --> 00:03:10,422
to get the operator
a better view
and more control.
63
00:03:10,457 --> 00:03:11,590
Second,
we upgraded
64
00:03:11,625 --> 00:03:12,824
the whole
water system,
65
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:14,226
now that we're at
a higher pressure,
66
00:03:14,261 --> 00:03:16,395
so we wash
the gold out of
the dirt better.
67
00:03:17,198 --> 00:03:18,463
What's most
important is
68
00:03:18,499 --> 00:03:20,032
we added
a second
sluice box
69
00:03:20,067 --> 00:03:22,100
to catch even
the finest gold.
70
00:03:22,136 --> 00:03:24,269
The sluice box
is plumbed up.
71
00:03:24,305 --> 00:03:26,438
Just finishing
some spray nozzles.
72
00:03:27,174 --> 00:03:28,740
We are
getting close.
73
00:03:28,776 --> 00:03:29,908
We are so close.
74
00:03:32,079 --> 00:03:34,746
We got to get
this back-up
generator going.
75
00:03:36,984 --> 00:03:40,118
So, we got a little
bit electrical
to finish up,
76
00:03:40,154 --> 00:03:42,354
a little bit
of fine tuning
77
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:44,723
and then
we're ready
to go mining.
78
00:03:44,758 --> 00:03:46,191
We're going
out today.
79
00:03:47,494 --> 00:03:49,294
-Get out of the way.
-[dave] all right.
80
00:03:52,233 --> 00:03:55,033
-[metal clanging]
-[shawn yells]
81
00:03:55,069 --> 00:03:57,336
-what the hell
was that?
-[shawn yells]
82
00:03:58,005 --> 00:03:59,504
[dave] holy [bleep]!
83
00:04:01,375 --> 00:04:03,609
-[shawn grunts]
-shawn, are you okay?
84
00:04:03,644 --> 00:04:05,344
-What happened?
-[groans]
85
00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:07,613
I fell. [bleep]!
86
00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:10,983
-Is your head okay?
-Yeah. My leg.
87
00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:14,052
Holy cow, shawn.
88
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:17,656
You're going to
need a few stitches
there, buddy.
89
00:04:17,691 --> 00:04:20,359
-How's everything else?
-Ah, it hurts.
90
00:04:21,629 --> 00:04:24,129
-Is your other
leg okay?
-Yeah.
91
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:25,631
[man] what did you
hit it on, shawn?
92
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:27,065
Ah! [bleep]!
93
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:28,734
-Right here, huh?
-Yeah.
94
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,302
Looks like you
got it right there.
95
00:04:31,538 --> 00:04:33,005
Your head's
okay, though?
96
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Yeah,
my head's okay.
97
00:04:34,675 --> 00:04:36,441
-Can you get up?
-Yeah.
98
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:38,877
Let's get up.
99
00:04:41,915 --> 00:04:43,348
Anything else hurt?
100
00:04:44,051 --> 00:04:44,916
[shawn speaking]
101
00:04:46,287 --> 00:04:47,719
[dave] can you
sit on here?
102
00:04:48,322 --> 00:04:49,688
Be careful.
103
00:04:49,723 --> 00:04:51,256
Here.
Sit right there.
104
00:04:56,664 --> 00:04:58,697
[shawn groans]
105
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:01,266
[bleep]
106
00:05:01,302 --> 00:05:02,868
shawn, I think
we should go
to the doctor
107
00:05:02,903 --> 00:05:04,403
and get some
stitches on there.
108
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:05,370
-It'll be all right.
-Huh?
109
00:05:05,406 --> 00:05:06,271
[shawn] we got
to get this...
110
00:05:06,307 --> 00:05:07,239
[dave] no, I need...
111
00:05:07,274 --> 00:05:09,374
I would get it
cleaned up
anyway.
112
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:11,877
And I think they're
going to put some
stitches in there.
113
00:05:11,912 --> 00:05:13,679
Are you okay?
Your back hurt?
114
00:05:14,214 --> 00:05:15,714
No, my leg hurts...
115
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:17,549
And my wrist.
116
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,255
[dave] while shawn
was working on
the generator up top
117
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:25,624
and he slipped
and he fell into
the sluice box.
118
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,526
And he hit
the metal there.
119
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:29,761
Sliced his leg
open a little bit
120
00:05:29,797 --> 00:05:31,897
and he's going to
go get a couple
of stitches.
121
00:05:31,932 --> 00:05:34,499
We need shawn.
We can't operate
without him.
122
00:05:34,535 --> 00:05:37,135
So, hopefully,
he's all right.
123
00:05:37,171 --> 00:05:39,304
That could
have been bad.
124
00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:42,107
-Are you sure
you got it?
-Yeah. [sighs]
125
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:44,109
[groans]
126
00:05:44,678 --> 00:05:45,911
[bleep]
127
00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:50,282
not really
what I need
right now.
128
00:05:50,317 --> 00:05:52,818
We're running
out of time,
129
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,453
running out
of money
130
00:05:54,488 --> 00:05:57,422
and now this is
gonna slow me down.
131
00:05:57,891 --> 00:05:59,057
It won't stop me
132
00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:01,393
but it's definitely
gonna slow me down.
133
00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:03,228
[groans]
134
00:06:03,263 --> 00:06:04,730
-[bleep]
-can you lift it up
or anything?
135
00:06:04,765 --> 00:06:07,065
[shawn] yeah,
my knees
[bleep] hurt.
136
00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:09,801
[engine starts]
137
00:06:12,773 --> 00:06:15,374
we're working
on the dredge,
we're getting close
138
00:06:15,409 --> 00:06:17,409
and here I go
and fall.
139
00:06:17,778 --> 00:06:18,910
It sucks.
140
00:06:23,283 --> 00:06:24,583
[sighs]
141
00:06:24,618 --> 00:06:26,785
probably my least
favorite place
in the world
142
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,387
to be going
right now.
143
00:06:29,556 --> 00:06:31,490
The bering sea's
my favorite,
144
00:06:32,326 --> 00:06:35,227
the hospital is
my least favorite.
145
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:38,430
Patient?
146
00:06:38,465 --> 00:06:39,865
Yeah, that'd be me.
147
00:06:40,968 --> 00:06:42,467
[groans]
148
00:06:44,471 --> 00:06:47,038
I'm going to
get some stitches,
I guess
149
00:06:48,842 --> 00:06:50,242
I don't need
this [bleep].
150
00:06:57,785 --> 00:07:00,152
[narrator]
120 miles east...
151
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:03,822
Far, far from nome.
152
00:07:07,694 --> 00:07:08,660
[chris] good morning.
153
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:10,729
Ready to [bleep]
this [bleep]
or what?
154
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:14,933
Bam! Starts it out
just like that.
155
00:07:16,236 --> 00:07:18,537
[narrator] the kellys
are looking for
the most ambitious
156
00:07:18,572 --> 00:07:21,907
and most
expensive adventure
in family history
157
00:07:21,942 --> 00:07:23,842
to start paying off.
158
00:07:23,877 --> 00:07:25,277
[kris] we are
ready for great day
159
00:07:25,312 --> 00:07:26,845
getting out there
killing and mining.
160
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,913
And I really
hope to god
161
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:29,481
we get
20 ounces today
162
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:31,483
between
the both of us.
163
00:07:31,518 --> 00:07:34,119
We put everything
we had into
this trip to elim.
164
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:36,254
I know there's
gold here,
165
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:37,556
but so far,
the whole
thing's been
166
00:07:37,591 --> 00:07:39,024
a giant
dumpster fire.
167
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:42,027
[brad] what's the
bottom look like?
168
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:44,529
[kris] there's
no material to
work right here.
169
00:07:44,565 --> 00:07:47,399
-Not a solid rock.
-Well, that's
not good.
170
00:07:47,434 --> 00:07:50,068
[grunts]
171
00:07:50,103 --> 00:07:51,536
I just [bleep]
my knee up.
172
00:07:52,105 --> 00:07:53,138
This sucks.
173
00:07:53,774 --> 00:07:55,173
I'm coming up
174
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:00,078
so, today's plan.
175
00:08:00,113 --> 00:08:02,914
There's technically
two claims
in the center
176
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:04,282
I would like
to prospect,
177
00:08:04,318 --> 00:08:06,518
but that's like right
in the [bleep]
middle of town.
178
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:10,055
We'll see
how it goes.
179
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:12,357
[dave]
even though we got
the mining rights,
180
00:08:12,392 --> 00:08:13,792
doesn't mean
they're gonna
let you mine.
181
00:08:15,462 --> 00:08:17,128
So far,
this trip sucks.
182
00:08:17,164 --> 00:08:19,731
Iron creek was
all solid rock,
183
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:22,434
no cobble, no gold,
no nothing.
184
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:24,603
And then we check
the claim on
the outskirts of elim
185
00:08:24,638 --> 00:08:26,538
and we came
up empty.
186
00:08:26,573 --> 00:08:29,274
The last place to look
is right smack dab
in front of town
187
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:30,709
where everybody
can see me.
188
00:08:34,414 --> 00:08:35,981
[brad] you're gonna
get in trouble.
189
00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:38,683
It's gonna
work out, okay?
190
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:42,420
The people
in rural alaska
191
00:08:42,456 --> 00:08:44,689
are very protective
over their land.
192
00:08:44,725 --> 00:08:46,224
They don't want
anybody swooping
193
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:48,994
and taking
anything from
their communities,
194
00:08:49,029 --> 00:08:50,328
especially gold.
195
00:08:50,364 --> 00:08:51,630
I go to places
all the time
196
00:08:51,665 --> 00:08:52,898
where I'm not
welcomed,
197
00:08:52,933 --> 00:08:54,799
but, I always
tend to win
people over
198
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:56,768
with my personality.
199
00:08:56,803 --> 00:08:58,203
[dave] everybody
has said that
200
00:08:58,238 --> 00:08:59,771
you're going to
get run out of here.
201
00:08:59,806 --> 00:09:01,373
We're gonna prove
them wrong, right?
202
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,377
-Everybody said that?
-A lot of people have.
203
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:18,857
[kris]
we're approaching
elim right now.
204
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,959
I didn't really
want to be
here today,
205
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:22,427
but here we are!
206
00:09:22,462 --> 00:09:25,797
Because I'd rather
piss off everybody
and get gold
207
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:28,133
than have
everybody love me.
208
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:30,468
[brad speaking]
209
00:09:30,504 --> 00:09:32,270
see where that
big rock is?
210
00:09:42,249 --> 00:09:43,848
The sneak attack
is over.
211
00:09:46,787 --> 00:09:47,786
Oh, yeah.
I see them all.
212
00:09:47,821 --> 00:09:48,787
That corner
down there.
213
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:54,693
[townsfolk speaking]
214
00:09:54,728 --> 00:09:56,127
[dave] you don't
want any attention,
215
00:09:56,163 --> 00:09:57,629
so you park
right in town.
216
00:09:57,664 --> 00:09:59,397
That's like really
in your face.
217
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:00,699
Well, that's where
the gold is.
218
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:03,168
Look at the top
of that ramp
right there, dude.
219
00:10:06,473 --> 00:10:07,472
[kris] well,
we're gonna
figure out
220
00:10:07,507 --> 00:10:09,307
what's gonna
happen real soon.
221
00:10:10,744 --> 00:10:13,745
This is exactly
what I wanted to
avoid, right here.
222
00:10:16,516 --> 00:10:19,150
Well, it looks like
a third of the town
has showed up
223
00:10:19,186 --> 00:10:21,486
to check this out.
224
00:10:21,521 --> 00:10:22,754
And I don't
really know
225
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:23,488
if that's
a good thing
226
00:10:23,523 --> 00:10:24,823
or a bad thing
right now.
227
00:10:24,858 --> 00:10:27,058
I mean, I don't see
any guns in
anybody's hands.
228
00:10:28,095 --> 00:10:30,128
More people
are definitely
coming.
229
00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:35,000
[bleep]
they can't see
nothing like this.
230
00:10:37,237 --> 00:10:40,605
We put a sign up,
"drinks:
Cocktail hour."
231
00:10:40,641 --> 00:10:43,308
you think we should
start this [bleep]
dog show?
232
00:10:44,911 --> 00:10:46,111
Well, I don't know
what to do.
233
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:47,979
I didn't want to
do this right now.
234
00:10:49,349 --> 00:10:52,617
Might as well
get this shock
and awe over.
235
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:55,553
[bleep]
236
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:58,356
[kris]
you turned it on?
237
00:10:58,392 --> 00:11:00,091
Yeah, I turned
it on jay.
238
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:03,762
-[engine starts]
-the rip cord
just [bleep].
239
00:11:07,367 --> 00:11:09,701
Well, we're done
mining then,
that's it. [bleep]!
240
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:14,939
I think
the battery's
[bleep] dead.
241
00:11:14,975 --> 00:11:17,008
What a [bleep]
embarrassment.
242
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:18,443
We're right in front
of the town.
243
00:11:18,478 --> 00:11:20,979
We're [bleep]
embarrassing
ourselves.
244
00:11:23,116 --> 00:11:25,650
Ryan, [bleep]
calm down now.
245
00:11:26,620 --> 00:11:30,288
So, my boat
is slowly taking
a beating
246
00:11:30,323 --> 00:11:32,824
and it's not working
at the moment.
247
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:35,226
Eddie's fixing
the recoil.
248
00:11:35,262 --> 00:11:37,729
But, you know,
that's more like
a plan b.
249
00:11:37,764 --> 00:11:39,431
Who the [bleep]
knows what happened?
250
00:11:40,233 --> 00:11:42,867
You know,
when it rains
it pours
251
00:11:42,903 --> 00:11:45,837
and I'm [bleep]
drowning right now.
252
00:11:45,872 --> 00:11:48,106
And we're right
in front of
the [bleep] city.
253
00:11:48,141 --> 00:11:50,942
Everybody's laughing
their ass off at us.
254
00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:52,310
I spent thousands
of dollars...
255
00:11:52,345 --> 00:11:53,912
I better shut
the [bleep] up.
256
00:11:57,884 --> 00:11:59,284
Nothing I can do,
257
00:11:59,319 --> 00:12:01,319
and I'm not going
to be bummed out.
258
00:12:01,354 --> 00:12:02,387
I'm gonna be...
259
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:06,658
[eddie] give me
a minute here, guys.
260
00:12:06,693 --> 00:12:08,159
I know there's
[bleep] gold
261
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:09,194
-underneath
my feet.
-Hey!
262
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:10,228
Don't raise
your voice.
263
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:11,262
We're in front
of a town.
264
00:12:11,298 --> 00:12:13,031
Yeah, they might
hear you
way out here.
265
00:12:13,967 --> 00:12:15,834
-I doubt it though.
-No, I don't.
266
00:12:15,869 --> 00:12:17,202
[kris] I can
hear them.
267
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:18,369
I can't hear a word
they're saying,
268
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:19,838
but I can
hear mumbling.
269
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:24,676
Did you break
your hand?
270
00:12:24,711 --> 00:12:26,478
[bleep]!
Got me good.
271
00:12:28,181 --> 00:12:29,280
All right.
272
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:32,250
Yeah, keys on.
273
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:33,685
Go ahead and
start this thing.
274
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,386
[engine starts]
275
00:12:38,892 --> 00:12:41,392
[kris] yeah!
[laughs]
276
00:12:42,662 --> 00:12:44,329
[brad] say goodbye.
Here they go.
277
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:48,767
Good bye, gentlemen.
278
00:12:51,705 --> 00:12:53,872
Finally, after
embarrassing
ourselves
279
00:12:53,907 --> 00:12:55,306
right in front
of town,
280
00:12:55,342 --> 00:12:56,641
we're gonna
hopefully get
down there
281
00:12:56,676 --> 00:12:58,743
and find some
of the best gold
I've ever seen.
282
00:12:58,779 --> 00:13:00,478
And I don't care
if they're
staring at me.
283
00:13:00,514 --> 00:13:01,746
They can
stare at me
284
00:13:01,782 --> 00:13:02,714
while I'm getting gold
285
00:13:02,749 --> 00:13:04,349
and making
my fortune
all day long.
286
00:13:12,459 --> 00:13:13,758
[townsfolk yelling]
287
00:13:15,629 --> 00:13:16,895
[chris]
they're yelling
something.
288
00:13:18,598 --> 00:13:19,497
[dave]
they're pissed off
289
00:13:19,533 --> 00:13:20,865
'cause they see them
drenching now.
290
00:13:22,736 --> 00:13:24,169
[kris] we're gonna
make this work today.
291
00:13:24,204 --> 00:13:25,236
Oh, yeah.
292
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:27,972
-[gunshots]
-oh [bleep]!
293
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:29,607
What was that?
294
00:13:29,643 --> 00:13:31,342
-It sounded
like a gunshot.
-Yeah.
295
00:13:32,846 --> 00:13:33,711
[gunshot]
296
00:13:37,484 --> 00:13:38,883
they're shooting
at us already.
297
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:40,685
What the [bleep]?
298
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,887
Hey, eddie,
you know they're
shooting, right?
299
00:13:42,923 --> 00:13:43,922
[eddie over radio]
are they really?
300
00:13:43,957 --> 00:13:45,623
[bleep] yeah,
they are.
301
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:46,658
[eddie] they're
shooting at us.
302
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:48,359
Get down!
303
00:13:48,395 --> 00:13:49,494
[gunshot]
304
00:13:57,571 --> 00:13:58,636
[gunshot]
305
00:13:58,672 --> 00:13:59,637
hey, eddie,
306
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:01,272
you know
they're shooting
at us, right?
307
00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:02,073
[eddie]
are they really?
308
00:14:02,108 --> 00:14:03,842
[bleep] yeah,
they are.
309
00:14:03,877 --> 00:14:05,243
[narrator]
far from nome
310
00:14:05,278 --> 00:14:06,711
and desperate
for gold,
311
00:14:06,746 --> 00:14:09,547
the kellys are
under the gun.
312
00:14:09,583 --> 00:14:10,982
Get down!
313
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:12,517
[townsfolk yelling]
314
00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:15,820
I just wanna
get the [bleep]
out of here.
315
00:14:15,856 --> 00:14:18,389
I don't know why
we stopped here
to start with.
316
00:14:18,425 --> 00:14:20,558
Hey, eddie,
you guys still
gonna dredge?
317
00:14:24,064 --> 00:14:25,964
[brad] yeah,
he's not gonna
shoot you.
318
00:14:25,999 --> 00:14:27,198
He's the one diving.
319
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:28,967
He's under water
how's he gonna
get him.
320
00:14:37,677 --> 00:14:38,710
[brad]
the update is,
321
00:14:38,745 --> 00:14:40,678
we're here
in front of elim
where there's gold.
322
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:43,181
And the local people
don't like us here.
323
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:44,349
They're shooting
at us.
324
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,184
And I don't know
if that's the way
325
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:47,452
they welcome
people here,
326
00:14:47,487 --> 00:14:49,354
but they took
a couple of shots
at us already,
327
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:51,155
so I don't know
what's gonna happen.
328
00:14:51,191 --> 00:14:53,191
I'm trying to
stay low 'cause
I'm a big target.
329
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:56,661
What the [bleep]
is wrong with
people today?
330
00:14:57,964 --> 00:14:59,097
[chris] brad!
331
00:15:01,735 --> 00:15:03,134
-Does he?
-Yeah.
332
00:15:03,169 --> 00:15:05,470
-[brad] where at?
-[chris speaking]
333
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:13,645
I saw it with
my binoculars
over there.
334
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,380
One of these guys
has an ar right now
335
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:16,347
pointing at him.
336
00:15:16,383 --> 00:15:18,349
These [bleep] guys
are crazy.
337
00:15:18,385 --> 00:15:20,752
If these [bleep] guys
don't get the [bleep]
out of here right now,
338
00:15:20,787 --> 00:15:22,553
they're gonna
get shot at.
339
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:25,757
[dave] the range
of the ar-15
is 300 yards.
340
00:15:25,792 --> 00:15:27,625
We're at 300 feet.
341
00:15:27,661 --> 00:15:29,394
I think it's time
to go to.
342
00:15:35,402 --> 00:15:36,267
Brad!
343
00:15:38,939 --> 00:15:41,472
That one guy's
got an ar-15.
344
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:42,640
[kris] what?
345
00:15:42,676 --> 00:15:45,710
One guy's got
an ar-15
looking at us.
346
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:49,514
[chris speaking]
347
00:15:49,549 --> 00:15:50,782
are they shooting
or pointing?
348
00:15:50,817 --> 00:15:52,450
'cause that's two
different things.
349
00:15:52,485 --> 00:15:53,851
[brad] they're
shooting, okay?
350
00:15:53,887 --> 00:15:55,653
Dave, wants to
get the [bleep]
out of here.
351
00:15:55,689 --> 00:15:57,255
What do you
want to do?
352
00:15:58,158 --> 00:15:59,557
Is that what
dave said?
353
00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:01,159
It's what he said.
354
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:02,393
Everybody in
nome told him
355
00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:03,628
they'll shoot
at you here.
356
00:16:03,663 --> 00:16:04,595
So, what do
they do?
357
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:07,065
Park... 300 feet
off the beach,
358
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,099
right in front
of the village.
359
00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:09,667
This is
[bleep] stupid.
360
00:16:10,704 --> 00:16:12,770
Brad, hook up
your jet.
361
00:16:16,176 --> 00:16:17,141
Hook it up.
362
00:16:17,911 --> 00:16:19,877
Okay, whatever.
Let's go.
363
00:16:19,913 --> 00:16:21,446
[bleep] go.
364
00:16:22,849 --> 00:16:24,182
Are you kidding me?
365
00:16:24,217 --> 00:16:26,417
Like, seriously,
they're shooting
at me,
366
00:16:26,453 --> 00:16:27,752
but I've dealt
with way worse.
367
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:29,320
[brad speaking]
368
00:16:30,357 --> 00:16:31,889
[kris yells]
369
00:16:31,925 --> 00:16:33,057
[brad] he's okay.
He's okay.
370
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,926
You okay?
371
00:16:37,864 --> 00:16:39,330
I definitely
don't want to go,
372
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:40,331
but it's dave's boat,
373
00:16:40,367 --> 00:16:41,699
dave's rules.
374
00:16:41,735 --> 00:16:43,434
And I don't want
to get left behind.
375
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:45,036
Okay,
let's go, chris.
376
00:16:45,071 --> 00:16:47,205
Grab that pontoon
up on the deck.
377
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,107
Hang on, hang on,
we're almost there.
378
00:16:49,142 --> 00:16:51,042
[kris] after all
the blood, sweat
and tears,
379
00:16:51,077 --> 00:16:53,011
and all the money
I put into this,
380
00:16:53,046 --> 00:16:55,446
I'm leaving with
nothing. Nothing!
381
00:16:57,584 --> 00:16:58,449
[brad]
we're out of here?
382
00:16:58,485 --> 00:17:00,184
I guess so.
[bleep]
383
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:02,453
running away
with our tails
between our legs.
384
00:17:04,424 --> 00:17:06,457
Is it the first
time I've ever
been shot at?
385
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:07,458
No.
386
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:10,595
Let's get the [bleep]
out of here.
387
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:18,002
Well, sorry for
the excitement.
388
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:20,538
[dave] well,
you wanted
to stop here.
389
00:17:21,174 --> 00:17:22,740
We literally
take, uh...
390
00:17:22,776 --> 00:17:23,808
All the rest
of the claims
391
00:17:23,843 --> 00:17:25,176
were right in front
of town, dude.
392
00:17:25,211 --> 00:17:26,477
Yeah, right in front.
393
00:17:26,513 --> 00:17:27,779
There's nothing
I could do.
394
00:17:27,814 --> 00:17:29,881
The ar-15 wins
in my book.
395
00:17:29,916 --> 00:17:31,549
[kris] okay, well,
it wins for today.
396
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:36,187
I didn't come here
for hazardous duty.
397
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:37,955
[kris] no,
I understand dude.
I understand.
398
00:17:37,991 --> 00:17:39,524
I'm not trying
to get your boat
shot up.
399
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,528
Well, we're going home
in utter defeat.
400
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:46,564
I was expecting
a civil conversation
401
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:47,732
where they get
into their boat
402
00:17:47,767 --> 00:17:50,234
and they come out
and talk to us
like normal people.
403
00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:51,669
But they were
shooting at us.
404
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,572
Well, I apologize
to everybody.
405
00:17:54,607 --> 00:17:56,274
I thought this
was going to be
a lot easier
406
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:58,309
and I thought
we were going
to get big gold.
407
00:17:58,344 --> 00:17:59,677
I'm sorry, everybody.
408
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:03,748
I know there's
[bleep] gold there.
409
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:06,451
This crap always
happens to us,
410
00:18:06,486 --> 00:18:09,087
but I really thought
this time would
be different.
411
00:18:09,956 --> 00:18:11,022
But it wasn't
different.
412
00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:12,123
It's the same crap.
413
00:18:12,158 --> 00:18:13,524
No gold,
no money
414
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,027
and I have no idea
what to do next.
415
00:18:16,062 --> 00:18:18,663
I know I let
everybody down
around me.
416
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:21,165
Well, that
was exciting.
417
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:23,901
I don't want
to do it again.
418
00:18:24,938 --> 00:18:26,571
Dredging with
the kellys.
419
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:29,073
Well, you know what?
Infamous kellys.
420
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:32,677
Just like that
the millions disappear.
421
00:18:34,247 --> 00:18:35,446
[kris] I say
we would
have waited
422
00:18:35,482 --> 00:18:36,981
until someone
shot me.
423
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,520
[narrator]
120 miles west...
424
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:54,465
Bit windy,
but it's kind of
settling out.
425
00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:56,801
So, weather's good.
426
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:59,737
Gold is good.
We're gonna
head out.
427
00:18:59,772 --> 00:19:01,539
[narrator]
with her three
headed dive team
428
00:19:01,574 --> 00:19:03,441
running on
all cylinders
429
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:06,210
emily riedel
looks to capitalize
430
00:19:06,246 --> 00:19:08,546
on her claim 14
hot streak.
431
00:19:09,516 --> 00:19:11,849
Daryl's the first shift
is the three divers.
432
00:19:11,885 --> 00:19:13,050
So, it's gonna be
daryl, bob
433
00:19:13,086 --> 00:19:14,585
and then rick
for the next shift.
434
00:19:14,621 --> 00:19:15,586
Weather forecast
is good.
435
00:19:15,622 --> 00:19:16,888
Should be
a nice, full day
436
00:19:16,923 --> 00:19:19,090
out there on
the mining grounds.
437
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:21,225
It's about half way
through the season
438
00:19:21,261 --> 00:19:23,461
and I have
a great team
439
00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:26,898
daryl, bob with rick
are awesome
rockstar divers
440
00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:28,332
and they're making
a lot of money
441
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:29,734
for my boat.
It's awesome.
442
00:19:29,769 --> 00:19:31,802
So, I just got to
keep those
numbers up
443
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:33,171
and we'll get
those 75 ounces
444
00:19:33,206 --> 00:19:35,006
to buy my own claim
in no time.
445
00:19:37,877 --> 00:19:39,577
Just waitin' on
daryl get here.
446
00:19:57,163 --> 00:19:59,163
I don't know
what's taking
daryl's so long.
447
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:01,499
Yeah, I don't know.
448
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:03,201
We were supposed
to leave, like,
10 minutes ago.
449
00:20:03,236 --> 00:20:04,435
So, I don't know
where daryl's at.
450
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:05,736
I'm gonna
give him a call.
451
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:11,542
[phone line ringing]
452
00:20:13,646 --> 00:20:15,479
-daryl.
-[daryl over phone]
yeah, emily.
453
00:20:15,515 --> 00:20:18,816
[emily] hey,
I'm down at
the boat. Uh...
454
00:20:18,851 --> 00:20:20,718
[daryl] I'm actually
at the airport.
455
00:20:20,753 --> 00:20:21,819
[emily] you're at
the airport?
456
00:20:23,756 --> 00:20:25,756
Um, why?
457
00:20:27,427 --> 00:20:29,894
[daryl over phone]
I'm just not making
enough money.
458
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:34,432
Well, hold on,
hold on.
459
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:36,734
I mean, when
I brought rick on
460
00:20:36,769 --> 00:20:38,236
I thought
we were, like,
461
00:20:38,271 --> 00:20:42,540
agreed as a crew
that that was
the right idea.
462
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:44,575
We kind of like
need three divers.
463
00:20:44,611 --> 00:20:47,111
Like, I don't know why
that's a problem.
464
00:20:47,146 --> 00:20:49,714
Like, why are you
just like leaving
all of a sudden?
465
00:20:52,719 --> 00:20:54,785
Like, this is insane.
466
00:20:54,821 --> 00:20:57,054
Like, you're like,
you committed
to the season
467
00:20:57,090 --> 00:20:58,089
and with you
at the airport,
468
00:20:58,124 --> 00:20:59,156
and now we're
losing thousands
469
00:20:59,192 --> 00:21:00,391
and thousands
of dollars
470
00:21:00,426 --> 00:21:01,892
on like a perfect
weather day.
471
00:21:08,635 --> 00:21:11,602
All right, dude,
well, look,
this is it for us.
472
00:21:11,638 --> 00:21:13,237
Like you're not
setting foot on
my boat again.
473
00:21:13,273 --> 00:21:14,338
So, [bleep]
you know,
474
00:21:14,374 --> 00:21:16,207
good luck
not making gold
in arizona.
475
00:21:16,242 --> 00:21:17,642
[daryl talking
indistinctly
over phone]
476
00:21:20,146 --> 00:21:21,279
[bleep]
477
00:21:21,314 --> 00:21:23,447
daryl's angry
about the box split.
478
00:21:23,483 --> 00:21:25,816
He feels like
he's not making
enough gold.
479
00:21:25,852 --> 00:21:29,620
It's not true,
but he is taking off
480
00:21:29,656 --> 00:21:31,422
without much
of a word
or a warning.
481
00:21:31,457 --> 00:21:33,891
I'm angry that
things ended
this way with daryl
482
00:21:33,926 --> 00:21:35,926
but I'm not
surprised
483
00:21:35,962 --> 00:21:37,928
really that
something like this
is happening.
484
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:38,829
Daryll's a great
diver,
485
00:21:38,865 --> 00:21:40,665
but he's not
a great
team player.
486
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:43,634
And he's really
only gonna be a part
of an operation
487
00:21:43,670 --> 00:21:47,138
when it's to his
utmost advantage
to be a part of it.
488
00:21:52,612 --> 00:21:54,011
That's it, like,
seven years
489
00:21:54,047 --> 00:21:56,814
and I don't even
get an official
resignation.
490
00:21:56,849 --> 00:21:58,716
I just got a call
from the dude
at the airport
491
00:21:58,751 --> 00:22:00,184
saying, "I'm leaving.
492
00:22:00,219 --> 00:22:02,286
Sucks for you,
bye."
493
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:04,288
I mean, I don't
understand it.
494
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:06,057
I'm gonna go talk
to rick and bob
495
00:22:06,092 --> 00:22:07,825
and we'll get
back out there.
496
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:09,427
Keep going.
It's all
you can do.
497
00:22:19,038 --> 00:22:21,105
[narrator] 30 miles
north of nome...
498
00:22:28,281 --> 00:22:29,947
Hey, gary,
is that the spot?
499
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:32,350
This is the spot
right here.
Right here, bro.
500
00:22:32,385 --> 00:22:33,884
All right,
I get the...
501
00:22:34,587 --> 00:22:36,053
I get jack going
up in there
502
00:22:36,089 --> 00:22:37,855
and we can unload.
503
00:22:37,890 --> 00:22:41,092
[narrator] skipper
vernon adkinson's
attacking a new front
504
00:22:41,127 --> 00:22:43,527
in his never ending
quest for gold.
505
00:22:45,798 --> 00:22:46,831
That's it
right here, vernon.
506
00:22:46,866 --> 00:22:47,865
What do you
think of this?
507
00:22:47,934 --> 00:22:49,066
[vernon]
let's get after it.
508
00:22:50,303 --> 00:22:51,969
56 is the
money maker
509
00:22:52,004 --> 00:22:53,804
we know the gold
is there,
510
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,441
but today is
not the day for
dredging offshore.
511
00:22:57,477 --> 00:22:59,276
Strong currents
are projected
512
00:22:59,312 --> 00:23:01,212
that will make
mining impossible.
513
00:23:01,247 --> 00:23:03,080
We need some
more duct tape.
514
00:23:03,116 --> 00:23:05,182
We need more
duct tape.
515
00:23:05,218 --> 00:23:07,017
The hose needs
duct tape.
516
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:08,919
You can't live
in nome without
duct tape.
517
00:23:10,123 --> 00:23:13,557
I've had my eye
on clara creek
for a while.
518
00:23:13,593 --> 00:23:15,626
We'll see what
we come up with.
519
00:23:15,661 --> 00:23:17,695
It might be
a good way to
spend our time
520
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:19,630
when we're not
dredging off shore.
521
00:23:19,665 --> 00:23:21,332
I've got to keep
the gold flowing
522
00:23:21,367 --> 00:23:24,034
because 56
is not going to
pay for itself.
523
00:23:25,638 --> 00:23:27,938
The creek hasn't
been worked since
524
00:23:27,974 --> 00:23:29,507
way back
in the 1900s,
525
00:23:29,542 --> 00:23:31,442
early 1900s.
526
00:23:31,477 --> 00:23:33,911
This will be
our back-stop.
527
00:23:33,946 --> 00:23:35,579
When we can't
get out on the ocean
528
00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:36,847
we can come
here and work.
529
00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:37,715
Hold on, hold on.
530
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:38,783
-There you go.
-There you go.
531
00:23:38,818 --> 00:23:41,152
Just slide,
you don't have
to go that far.
532
00:23:42,321 --> 00:23:44,121
[vernon] we need
to be working
every damn day.
533
00:23:44,157 --> 00:23:46,157
Gold's $2,000
an ounce.
534
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:48,092
Record high.
535
00:23:48,828 --> 00:23:51,362
Anytime we're
back in town.
536
00:23:51,397 --> 00:23:52,797
Twiddling
our thumbs...
537
00:23:53,733 --> 00:23:55,433
We're losing
big money.
538
00:23:56,969 --> 00:23:58,736
Once you go ahead
and get suited up,
539
00:23:58,771 --> 00:24:00,604
we'll get this
thing cranked
540
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,705
and let it rip
541
00:24:01,741 --> 00:24:03,374
and see if there's
anything there.
542
00:24:04,644 --> 00:24:05,976
All right,
let's do it.
543
00:24:09,215 --> 00:24:10,981
[vernon] when
you're prospecting
a creek,
544
00:24:11,017 --> 00:24:13,551
the gear is light,
it's easy to move.
545
00:24:13,586 --> 00:24:15,152
We just want to
jump in there,
546
00:24:15,188 --> 00:24:16,320
give it
a quick suck,
547
00:24:16,355 --> 00:24:18,088
see if there's
any gold.
548
00:24:18,124 --> 00:24:20,758
If there's not,
then pick up
and move
549
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:22,726
and keep working
our way up the creek
550
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:24,428
until we get into
some good gold.
551
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:27,665
Well, we're all
set up here
on clara creek.
552
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:30,234
The creek back
in the old days,
553
00:24:30,236 --> 00:24:31,635
it was loaded
with gold.
554
00:24:31,671 --> 00:24:33,204
It's a famous creek.
555
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:36,874
You google
"clara creek,
nome, alaska"
556
00:24:36,909 --> 00:24:38,609
you can read
about this place.
557
00:24:38,644 --> 00:24:40,811
A lot of gold was
taken out of here.
558
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:42,513
But I gotta tell you,
they didn't get it all.
559
00:24:44,417 --> 00:24:46,283
[gary] we're moving
some dirt off.
560
00:24:51,023 --> 00:24:52,623
These guys are
highly motivated.
561
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:54,024
They're both pros.
562
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:55,659
Both of them
have got just
a tremendous
563
00:24:55,695 --> 00:24:57,461
amount of
experience
on the river.
564
00:24:57,497 --> 00:25:01,165
Gary, he's been
dredging in the river
since he was 10.
565
00:25:01,234 --> 00:25:03,067
He's 50 now.
That's 40 years.
566
00:25:03,102 --> 00:25:05,035
And he's been
doing it full time.
567
00:25:05,071 --> 00:25:07,471
And brian,
he's been
dredging rivers
568
00:25:07,507 --> 00:25:08,739
for 10 years.
569
00:25:08,774 --> 00:25:10,674
He's like a horse
in the water.
570
00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:13,677
He's like
a young gorilla.
571
00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:14,912
So, between
the two of them,
572
00:25:14,947 --> 00:25:16,680
we're looking
at 50 years
of experience
573
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:20,050
and I got, like,
practically none.
574
00:25:20,086 --> 00:25:21,785
-Hey, gary.
-[gary] yeah.
575
00:25:21,821 --> 00:25:23,020
What are you
looking at?
576
00:25:23,055 --> 00:25:25,389
-I'm looking
at bedrock.
-Got bedrock?
577
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:27,458
Yeah, nice
looking bedrock.
578
00:25:28,594 --> 00:25:29,693
A layer about
six inches
579
00:25:29,729 --> 00:25:31,529
of good looking
stuff on top.
580
00:25:31,564 --> 00:25:34,265
It's probably
100-year-old material
right on bedrock.
581
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:35,466
That's good.
582
00:25:35,501 --> 00:25:37,401
You want to come
down in here?
583
00:25:37,436 --> 00:25:40,471
You know what?
I'm resisting
the temptation.
584
00:25:40,506 --> 00:25:42,306
-I'm tempted.
-Should have brought
your wetsuit.
585
00:25:42,341 --> 00:25:44,408
Oh, yeah.
You start
getting gold
586
00:25:44,443 --> 00:25:45,976
you're gonna
find my ass right
down there
587
00:25:46,012 --> 00:25:47,044
-in that hole.
-[gary] all right.
588
00:25:53,352 --> 00:25:55,152
[narrator]
in nome harbor...
589
00:26:01,661 --> 00:26:04,094
This is a skill
that we really got
to practice, raven,
590
00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:05,696
because it's gonna
be really important
591
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:06,697
when we're
boarding ships
592
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:08,332
to know how
to swing on
the halyard line.
593
00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:12,336
-[laughs]
-oh, no!
594
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:16,874
[narrator] the crew
of the black swan
595
00:26:16,909 --> 00:26:18,976
is hoping to
get back into
the swing of things.
596
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:21,278
Dude, check this out.
597
00:26:22,048 --> 00:26:24,949
Yes. [laughs]
598
00:26:27,486 --> 00:26:29,119
man, you need to
work on that.
599
00:26:31,991 --> 00:26:34,391
[zeke] the last time
we went out on
the black swan,
600
00:26:34,427 --> 00:26:35,559
it was just a bust.
601
00:26:35,595 --> 00:26:37,661
My back seized up.
We had to cut it off.
602
00:26:37,697 --> 00:26:38,862
It was no bueno.
603
00:26:38,898 --> 00:26:40,164
Nothing was
working out.
604
00:26:40,199 --> 00:26:43,634
But I feel like
my back is a little
more limber today.
605
00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:44,868
I need to get
under the water
606
00:26:44,904 --> 00:26:46,170
and we need to
get some gold fast
607
00:26:46,205 --> 00:26:47,571
and we need
to get it now.
608
00:26:49,375 --> 00:26:50,240
I like these things.
609
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:51,742
You get the aspirin,
like, [bleep]
610
00:26:51,777 --> 00:26:54,345
straight into
your bloodstream
so fast.
611
00:26:54,380 --> 00:26:56,680
You just feel it
working immediately.
612
00:26:56,716 --> 00:26:58,182
I was in a lot
of pain yesterday.
613
00:26:58,217 --> 00:26:59,249
And when you're
in a lot of pain,
614
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:02,119
it's like everything
kind of sucks.
615
00:27:02,154 --> 00:27:05,055
Yesterday,
I went down
to that gravel.
616
00:27:05,091 --> 00:27:06,790
Those gravel dunes
were super deep.
617
00:27:06,826 --> 00:27:09,259
I can't really go
back there 'cause
it's too deep.
618
00:27:09,295 --> 00:27:10,728
I can't get my hose
all the way down.
619
00:27:10,763 --> 00:27:12,029
The hose is
overextended.
620
00:27:12,064 --> 00:27:13,631
So, today,
what my plan is,
621
00:27:13,666 --> 00:27:15,032
is to go into
shallower water
622
00:27:15,067 --> 00:27:16,900
at about
25 to 27 feet,
623
00:27:16,936 --> 00:27:18,669
and then I'm going
to walk the boat
624
00:27:18,704 --> 00:27:20,904
along the edge
of that cobble field
625
00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:24,241
all the way over to
the western edge
of the lease...
626
00:27:24,276 --> 00:27:28,078
And assess
how good the gold
is at that depth.
627
00:27:28,114 --> 00:27:29,480
If there's great gold
at that depth
628
00:27:29,515 --> 00:27:30,948
then it'll just be
easier for everybody,
629
00:27:30,983 --> 00:27:33,317
'cause diving at
super deep depth
is just a headache.
630
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:35,619
Ready to go.
631
00:27:40,026 --> 00:27:41,625
Here we go!
632
00:27:42,561 --> 00:27:43,560
Yeah.
633
00:27:43,596 --> 00:27:44,762
Woo!
634
00:27:44,797 --> 00:27:46,196
[laughs]
635
00:27:46,232 --> 00:27:47,598
the forecast today
636
00:27:47,633 --> 00:27:49,800
is some nasty
wind and some
nasty currents
637
00:27:49,835 --> 00:27:51,301
out here by 56.
638
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:53,537
I don't even think
vernon's coming
out here today.
639
00:27:53,572 --> 00:27:55,973
But I need to
make this boat
pay for itself.
640
00:27:56,008 --> 00:27:56,974
Otherwise,
641
00:27:57,009 --> 00:27:58,442
I don't know
what kind
of situation
642
00:27:58,477 --> 00:27:59,677
I'm going to
find myself in.
643
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:01,211
So, we have to
throw caution
644
00:28:01,247 --> 00:28:02,346
into the wind
here a little
645
00:28:02,381 --> 00:28:04,014
and just try to
make it work.
646
00:28:06,419 --> 00:28:08,318
You ready to
drop the anchor?
647
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:09,486
Drop it here!
648
00:28:28,507 --> 00:28:29,473
All right.
649
00:28:31,544 --> 00:28:32,810
Five feet down.
650
00:28:36,315 --> 00:28:37,414
[zeke] all right.
651
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:40,451
So, I'm going
down the rope.
652
00:28:44,290 --> 00:28:45,456
Oh, [bleep].
653
00:28:46,525 --> 00:28:48,125
Whoa.
654
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,861
Yeah, we got some
ripping current
going on here.
655
00:28:52,798 --> 00:28:54,298
It's moving fast.
656
00:28:59,505 --> 00:29:00,871
Right, I'm on
the bottom.
657
00:29:02,775 --> 00:29:05,175
[sam] seeing
anything exciting
close by?
658
00:29:06,679 --> 00:29:08,011
[zeke] no,
I'm just in
the middle
659
00:29:08,047 --> 00:29:09,413
of a big ocean
of sand.
660
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:20,657
I'm gonna have
to figure out
661
00:29:20,693 --> 00:29:22,059
how to get
us moved.
662
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:24,328
Until I get into
some cobble,
663
00:29:24,363 --> 00:29:26,230
I can do
some mining
664
00:29:29,201 --> 00:29:30,734
[raven] fair enough,
I guess just...
665
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:33,670
Yeah, keep walking it.
Keep us posted.
666
00:29:34,974 --> 00:29:36,306
[zeke]
I'm just trying to
667
00:29:36,342 --> 00:29:37,875
cover as much
ground as possible
668
00:29:37,910 --> 00:29:40,344
and hopefully find
some treasure that
looks interesting.
669
00:29:42,648 --> 00:29:44,581
There's a little bit
of gravel over here,
670
00:29:44,617 --> 00:29:46,316
but it's just
gravel and gravel.
671
00:29:47,686 --> 00:29:48,886
No cobble.
672
00:29:50,556 --> 00:29:52,556
I want there
to be a ton
of gold here.
673
00:29:53,826 --> 00:29:55,626
I want it to just
poke out at me
and be like,
674
00:29:55,661 --> 00:29:57,528
"woo-hoo, look
what you found."
675
00:30:00,065 --> 00:30:01,965
what's happening
right now is mining.
676
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:10,007
Ah, interesting.
677
00:30:18,050 --> 00:30:19,216
What exactly
are you seeing?
678
00:30:19,251 --> 00:30:20,317
What's it look like?
679
00:30:21,887 --> 00:30:24,021
[zeke] there's
a definitive
layer of cobble
680
00:30:24,056 --> 00:30:25,823
and there's gravel
on top of it.
681
00:30:30,763 --> 00:30:31,895
Nice.
682
00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:37,768
Hell yeah, man.
683
00:30:37,803 --> 00:30:39,069
Gold!
684
00:30:46,111 --> 00:30:48,378
Dude, we got to
set up a marker buoy.
685
00:30:48,414 --> 00:30:49,379
Stat.
686
00:30:52,651 --> 00:30:54,852
This is what
we want right here.
[bleep]
687
00:30:54,887 --> 00:30:56,720
dude, we might
have a spot.
688
00:30:57,156 --> 00:30:59,323
[chuckles]
689
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,824
things are going
good today.
690
00:31:12,171 --> 00:31:13,971
[shawn] oh,
that's gonna
hurt tomorrow.
691
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:16,740
Four stitches.
692
00:31:23,282 --> 00:31:24,481
Not too bad.
693
00:31:24,516 --> 00:31:26,483
At least now
I can get back
to work.
694
00:31:28,287 --> 00:31:30,787
[narrator]
shawn pomrenke is
sewing up loose ends
695
00:31:30,823 --> 00:31:33,523
in his mad dash
to get the
myrtle irene
696
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:34,858
up and running.
697
00:31:36,295 --> 00:31:37,828
It's not gonna
stop me.
698
00:31:38,697 --> 00:31:40,597
I ain't got
time to rest.
699
00:31:40,633 --> 00:31:42,466
Time to get
back to work.
700
00:31:43,035 --> 00:31:44,001
Let me just...
701
00:31:46,538 --> 00:31:48,171
Cute little
bracelet off.
702
00:31:50,175 --> 00:31:51,642
Back to work.
703
00:31:51,677 --> 00:31:52,709
[grunts]
704
00:31:55,881 --> 00:31:57,748
I'm in a whole
millions.
705
00:31:57,783 --> 00:32:00,150
I got to get
the myrtle out
as soon as possible.
706
00:32:00,185 --> 00:32:02,119
I'm not gonna
let a little fall
707
00:32:02,154 --> 00:32:03,687
and a few
stitches stop me.
708
00:32:03,722 --> 00:32:07,124
I'm going to push,
get it done,
stitches and all.
709
00:32:07,159 --> 00:32:09,793
Ended up with
four stitches
in there.
710
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:11,495
Get a staple gun
and...
711
00:32:12,765 --> 00:32:14,031
Some bailing wire.
712
00:32:14,066 --> 00:32:15,232
What did they do
to your hand?
713
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:17,000
-Nothing.
-You didn't have
them look at it.
714
00:32:17,036 --> 00:32:19,202
-[bleep] no.
-[laughs]
715
00:32:20,172 --> 00:32:21,772
we're getting close.
716
00:32:21,807 --> 00:32:24,875
Hopefully shawn's
got it together
and it all works.
717
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:26,777
That's my only fear.
718
00:32:26,812 --> 00:32:28,679
Well, let's start
the small one first.
719
00:32:28,714 --> 00:32:30,580
Make sure
it's rotating right,
720
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:32,049
then we'll
shut it down.
721
00:32:32,084 --> 00:32:33,183
And we'll start
the big one,
722
00:32:33,218 --> 00:32:34,217
and we'll shut
them down.
723
00:32:34,253 --> 00:32:36,586
And then we'll get
the water pump
primed up.
724
00:32:36,622 --> 00:32:37,988
Get water going.
725
00:32:38,424 --> 00:32:39,489
Looking good.
726
00:32:39,992 --> 00:32:40,891
First thing,
727
00:32:40,926 --> 00:32:42,926
we're gonna test
the small shaker.
728
00:32:42,962 --> 00:32:44,861
We had to mov
both shakers
729
00:32:44,897 --> 00:32:48,031
not only to
improve the view
of the operator,
730
00:32:48,067 --> 00:32:49,032
but to accommodate
731
00:32:49,068 --> 00:32:50,834
for both of
the sluice boxes.
732
00:32:50,869 --> 00:32:51,802
Hey, dennis.
733
00:32:53,138 --> 00:32:55,572
Turn the air
compressor
breaker on.
734
00:32:56,976 --> 00:32:58,608
[machine whirring]
735
00:32:58,644 --> 00:33:00,277
I mean,
these reconstructions
736
00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:02,079
are massive
undertakings
737
00:33:02,114 --> 00:33:04,014
and if they're
not done right,
738
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:05,615
it could cost
me millions.
739
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:08,018
And we'll never
get back out
on the water
740
00:33:09,788 --> 00:33:12,289
-fire up, baby.
-Yeah!
741
00:33:12,324 --> 00:33:13,991
[engine starts]
742
00:33:31,343 --> 00:33:33,176
[both laugh]
743
00:33:33,212 --> 00:33:35,379
when that thing
turned over
and started
744
00:33:35,414 --> 00:33:37,481
I got goose bumps.
745
00:33:39,318 --> 00:33:41,351
Fired up
the small shaker.
746
00:33:41,387 --> 00:33:43,487
Yes, it works perfectly.
747
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:45,389
One test down,
two to go.
748
00:33:45,991 --> 00:33:47,624
Woo! Let's go.
749
00:33:50,262 --> 00:33:51,595
We got one
deck running.
750
00:33:51,630 --> 00:33:53,597
We need to
get the second
deck going,
751
00:33:53,632 --> 00:33:55,065
and hopefully it'll work.
752
00:33:55,968 --> 00:33:58,835
Because we're miners,
not electricians.
753
00:33:58,871 --> 00:34:01,538
Now it's time to
test the big shaker.
754
00:34:01,573 --> 00:34:03,206
We had to move
it down lower
755
00:34:03,242 --> 00:34:05,742
so the operator
could see
what he's doing.
756
00:34:05,778 --> 00:34:08,145
This one is
a little trickier,
so fingers crossed.
757
00:34:09,782 --> 00:34:10,614
Bump it.
758
00:34:12,284 --> 00:34:13,750
Yeah.
759
00:34:13,786 --> 00:34:15,152
-[man] let it rip?
-Let it rip.
760
00:34:27,733 --> 00:34:30,901
Hold.
Shut it down,
shut it down.
761
00:34:32,671 --> 00:34:35,038
-Great.
-We got ourselves
a problem.
762
00:34:38,143 --> 00:34:40,077
[shawn] fired up
the second screen deck.
763
00:34:40,112 --> 00:34:41,578
It's not
aligned right.
764
00:34:41,613 --> 00:34:43,980
It's rubbing
right up against
the deck support.
765
00:34:44,016 --> 00:34:46,149
The shorter of it is,
it's not gonna work.
766
00:34:46,185 --> 00:34:48,452
This is a colossal
screw up.
767
00:34:48,487 --> 00:34:51,455
This could cost me
a couple million in
the blink of an eye.
768
00:34:52,858 --> 00:34:55,292
If this don't work,
we are screwed.
769
00:35:00,132 --> 00:35:01,565
[narrator]
two miles east...
770
00:35:06,638 --> 00:35:08,605
[sam] how's it going?
771
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,607
[zeke] I like
the crowd that
I'm looking at.
772
00:35:11,310 --> 00:35:13,477
And I can see
a gold in it.
773
00:35:13,512 --> 00:35:14,845
Hell yeah, man.
774
00:35:14,913 --> 00:35:18,081
The black swan
may finally
be turning
775
00:35:18,117 --> 00:35:19,683
into a golden goose.
776
00:35:22,187 --> 00:35:23,687
[zeke] dude!
777
00:35:23,722 --> 00:35:25,755
That's where
the gold is.
778
00:35:26,325 --> 00:35:28,091
The rainbow.
[laughs]
779
00:35:41,106 --> 00:35:43,740
I need to just, like,
go to grind town
for a while.
780
00:35:43,775 --> 00:35:45,742
Back to the grind.
781
00:35:45,777 --> 00:35:46,910
Back to the grind.
782
00:35:49,781 --> 00:35:50,847
We're mining.
783
00:35:51,783 --> 00:35:53,617
Finally. [laughs]
784
00:35:54,887 --> 00:35:56,019
I'm glad.
785
00:35:56,054 --> 00:35:57,754
I think we're going
to get a really
good clean up.
786
00:35:57,789 --> 00:35:59,489
It's how it works
was down there.
787
00:35:59,525 --> 00:36:02,259
This is the part
where it gets boring.
788
00:36:02,294 --> 00:36:04,027
We're just sit
here all day.
789
00:36:04,096 --> 00:36:05,328
[laughs]
790
00:36:05,364 --> 00:36:06,396
hopefully...
791
00:36:06,431 --> 00:36:09,166
Hopefully we just
get it and it's chill.
792
00:36:09,201 --> 00:36:10,867
[narrator]
with a little time
on their hands...
793
00:36:12,704 --> 00:36:14,971
It's time to
get crafty.
794
00:36:15,007 --> 00:36:16,840
So, let's get
totally stoked...
795
00:36:16,875 --> 00:36:18,108
[laughs]
796
00:36:18,143 --> 00:36:19,709
...For another
installment
797
00:36:19,745 --> 00:36:21,478
of crafting
with raven.
798
00:36:25,083 --> 00:36:27,551
So, we're
hanging out
799
00:36:27,586 --> 00:36:28,685
in the cockpit
all the time
800
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,153
with some
delicious bevvies
801
00:36:30,189 --> 00:36:32,122
and we don't
have a cup holder
out there.
802
00:36:32,157 --> 00:36:33,957
And that has
got to change.
803
00:36:33,992 --> 00:36:36,993
So, I found
this janky,
old light cover
804
00:36:37,029 --> 00:36:38,962
and all this
extension cord that
got pulled off.
805
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,432
And I'm thinking...
806
00:36:42,467 --> 00:36:45,202
It might be
just the ticket.
807
00:36:45,237 --> 00:36:46,236
We want to
chill out here.
808
00:36:46,271 --> 00:36:47,971
We got to be able
to kick back,
809
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:49,439
chillin' in
the cockpit,
810
00:36:49,474 --> 00:36:51,875
watch big bubbles
floating around,
811
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:53,877
having some bevvies.
812
00:36:53,912 --> 00:36:57,547
And if my calculations
are correct...
813
00:37:00,118 --> 00:37:01,685
Choice.
814
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,253
Held it squarely.
815
00:37:04,756 --> 00:37:05,956
Definitely picking up
a little bit.
816
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:09,426
That's why
we need a [bleep]
cup holder.
817
00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:10,727
Industrial chic.
818
00:37:14,399 --> 00:37:15,465
All right.
819
00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:17,300
Choice.
820
00:37:24,276 --> 00:37:26,509
There's a little bit
of a south wind
coming in
821
00:37:26,545 --> 00:37:29,646
and the swell's
picking up
a little bit.
822
00:37:29,681 --> 00:37:33,083
But... We're on
a good gold spot,
823
00:37:33,118 --> 00:37:35,318
so I don't really
want to worry
too much about it
824
00:37:35,354 --> 00:37:36,720
until it's a thing.
825
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:40,156
But I'm going to
keep my eye on it.
826
00:37:46,298 --> 00:37:47,264
Huh?
827
00:37:47,299 --> 00:37:48,365
You're looking
at that swell,
aren't you?
828
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,100
Yeah,
I'm dazed as hell
thinking about--
829
00:37:50,135 --> 00:37:51,334
[zeke over radio]
is it windy
up there?
830
00:37:52,271 --> 00:37:54,537
Yeah, it's definitely
kicking up a bit.
831
00:37:54,573 --> 00:37:57,641
The south wind's
coming in a little
bit stronger.
832
00:37:57,676 --> 00:38:01,011
We got a little
bit of roller action
happening up here.
833
00:38:01,046 --> 00:38:02,946
Everything's
going great
down here,
834
00:38:02,981 --> 00:38:05,415
except the hose
is turning around
quite a lot.
835
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:07,951
So, I assume
the weather's
probably building.
836
00:38:07,986 --> 00:38:09,819
I think I'm going
to maybe dredge
for another hour,
837
00:38:09,855 --> 00:38:11,288
and we'll just
watch this weather.
838
00:38:11,323 --> 00:38:13,156
If the weather's
getting a lot worse,
839
00:38:13,191 --> 00:38:15,292
then maybe
we'll have
to reassess.
840
00:38:15,327 --> 00:38:16,826
Yeah, I think
that's a good call.
841
00:38:16,862 --> 00:38:18,528
If it picks up
anymore,
842
00:38:18,563 --> 00:38:20,230
I might start to
get uncomfortable.
843
00:38:20,265 --> 00:38:21,231
[zeke] okay.
844
00:38:29,975 --> 00:38:31,574
[narrator]
back in nome...
845
00:38:31,576 --> 00:38:33,143
[seagulls squawking]
846
00:38:49,528 --> 00:38:51,895
[kris] halfway
through the season,
847
00:38:51,930 --> 00:38:54,864
my elim plans
kind of crashed
and burned on me.
848
00:38:56,468 --> 00:38:59,269
Really, we put
everything we had
into this.
849
00:38:59,304 --> 00:39:00,737
I don't know what
we're gonna do.
850
00:39:00,772 --> 00:39:03,540
You know,
I had one chance
to make this work,
851
00:39:03,575 --> 00:39:05,008
and I [bleep] up
852
00:39:06,645 --> 00:39:08,611
kris kelly
is a man with...
853
00:39:08,647 --> 00:39:10,547
Well, nothing
854
00:39:10,582 --> 00:39:12,782
whose dream
of a million
dollar season
855
00:39:12,818 --> 00:39:15,352
has hit the end
of the road.
856
00:39:15,387 --> 00:39:17,287
[kris] I know
there's a [bleep]
load of gold there.
857
00:39:17,322 --> 00:39:18,455
I know there is.
858
00:39:18,490 --> 00:39:20,890
We just didn't
get the right
chance to find it.
859
00:39:20,926 --> 00:39:24,094
I know that if
we went back there,
we would kill it.
860
00:39:24,129 --> 00:39:25,562
But I can't do it
when I have people
861
00:39:25,597 --> 00:39:27,063
shooting at me
from the shore.
862
00:39:27,099 --> 00:39:29,733
They had no reason
to [bleep] shoot at me
like that.
863
00:39:31,169 --> 00:39:34,003
I should have just
stuck with the reaper,
you know?
864
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,005
I get good gold.
Good enough gold.
865
00:39:36,041 --> 00:39:37,407
I get good
enough gold,
866
00:39:37,442 --> 00:39:39,342
life is
actually simpler.
867
00:39:39,378 --> 00:39:40,510
We can
go out here
868
00:39:40,545 --> 00:39:42,011
and still make
our a little bit
of money,
869
00:39:42,047 --> 00:39:43,480
but we're never
gonna make it big.
870
00:39:43,515 --> 00:39:44,881
But making
a little bit
871
00:39:44,916 --> 00:39:46,015
was better than
what I did.
872
00:39:46,051 --> 00:39:48,485
'cause all I did
was flush my fortune
down the tubes
873
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,620
on a dumb
[bleep] ass idea.
874
00:39:50,655 --> 00:39:52,956
This whole season
has been a stretch.
875
00:39:52,991 --> 00:39:54,057
It's been stressful.
876
00:39:54,092 --> 00:39:56,693
Everybody's [bleep]
blaming me
for everything.
877
00:39:56,728 --> 00:39:57,927
Everything went
to [bleep].
878
00:39:57,963 --> 00:39:59,629
We didn't get
any gold at all.
879
00:39:59,664 --> 00:40:00,897
I couldn't
make it work.
880
00:40:02,768 --> 00:40:04,768
I don't know
what to do
anymore, man.
881
00:40:07,506 --> 00:40:08,671
No matter what.
882
00:40:08,707 --> 00:40:10,006
We're gonna keep
going with this.
883
00:40:10,041 --> 00:40:11,608
No matter what,
I'm not gonna quit.
884
00:40:13,478 --> 00:40:15,545
You know, I know
a lot of really
famous miners
885
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:17,113
that really kill it
in the game.
886
00:40:17,149 --> 00:40:18,982
They failed
a thousand times
887
00:40:19,017 --> 00:40:20,850
to make it where
they're at.
888
00:40:20,886 --> 00:40:23,420
You know,
you only need
one good plan
889
00:40:23,455 --> 00:40:25,355
to hit one time,
you know?
890
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:27,557
But you're gonna fail
a bunch of times
891
00:40:27,592 --> 00:40:28,792
and you can't
give up.
892
00:40:28,827 --> 00:40:31,060
When you fail this fast,
you can't give up.
893
00:40:31,096 --> 00:40:31,895
You gotta
keep going.
894
00:40:31,930 --> 00:40:33,530
You gotta pack up
what you have.
895
00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:35,432
You got to figure out
what worked
and what didn't.
896
00:40:35,467 --> 00:40:37,500
And you just
have to keep
pressing forward.
897
00:40:37,536 --> 00:40:39,002
[bleep]!
898
00:40:39,037 --> 00:40:41,104
I know lots of
guys that have
gone bankrupt
899
00:40:41,139 --> 00:40:42,839
ten times over
in mining.
900
00:40:42,874 --> 00:40:45,308
You know, so,
sometimes, sure,
it's depressing
901
00:40:45,343 --> 00:40:46,209
and sure it
looks bad,
902
00:40:46,244 --> 00:40:47,510
but we just keep
getting up,
903
00:40:47,546 --> 00:40:49,212
keep getting up
and making it work.
904
00:40:50,715 --> 00:40:51,848
I'm not giving up.
905
00:40:56,822 --> 00:40:58,288
I just need gold.
906
00:41:10,202 --> 00:41:11,801
[narrator]
thirty miles
out of town...
907
00:41:22,747 --> 00:41:23,713
He's on it.
908
00:41:23,748 --> 00:41:25,248
He's got
his nostrils
wide open,
909
00:41:25,283 --> 00:41:26,883
he can smell
that gold.
910
00:41:28,620 --> 00:41:29,786
...Vernon
adkinson's
911
00:41:29,821 --> 00:41:31,387
looking for
a pot of gold
912
00:41:31,423 --> 00:41:33,223
at the end
of the rainbow.
913
00:41:33,258 --> 00:41:34,891
Let's go,
let's go!
914
00:41:40,031 --> 00:41:41,898
[vernon]
river dreading
takes a while.
915
00:41:41,933 --> 00:41:43,700
There's not really
much for me to do
916
00:41:43,735 --> 00:41:45,869
except sit here
and look intelligent.
917
00:41:45,904 --> 00:41:48,304
I mean,
it's not really going
to do me any good
918
00:41:48,340 --> 00:41:50,240
and say, "six inches
to the right,"
919
00:41:50,275 --> 00:41:52,242
or, "seven inches
to the left,"
or whatever.
920
00:41:52,277 --> 00:41:54,377
But I can definitely
make myself busy.
921
00:41:59,384 --> 00:42:01,718
That's a cheaters way
of starting a fire.
922
00:42:02,387 --> 00:42:03,553
Redneck microwave.
923
00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:06,322
We got some
fresh moose.
924
00:42:17,402 --> 00:42:19,869
[vernon] I bet
it's not even warm
on the inside.
925
00:42:19,905 --> 00:42:20,970
Really?
926
00:42:21,006 --> 00:42:22,739
You got toasted
a little bit,
you were right.
927
00:42:22,774 --> 00:42:23,840
[laughs]
928
00:42:26,278 --> 00:42:27,243
[vernon]
but bet it's good.
929
00:42:31,616 --> 00:42:34,450
They don't make
them like this
in the restaurants.
930
00:42:37,589 --> 00:42:40,023
-This is
roughing it, boys.
-[men] yeah.
931
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:41,791
It's getting gold
the hard way.
932
00:42:44,329 --> 00:42:46,262
Moose meat
over an open fire.
933
00:42:47,132 --> 00:42:48,598
One of life's
greatest pleasure.
934
00:42:49,868 --> 00:42:51,534
But so are
the big pile
of gold
935
00:42:51,570 --> 00:42:53,937
out of a one-foot
deep river.
936
00:42:53,972 --> 00:42:55,838
Hopefully, that's
what we're gonna
find today.
937
00:42:55,874 --> 00:42:57,540
Hey, brian,
938
00:42:57,576 --> 00:42:59,842
I know you're
having fun,
939
00:42:59,878 --> 00:43:01,477
but let's
shut it down
940
00:43:01,513 --> 00:43:03,079
-and take a look
at the box...
-[brian] all right.
941
00:43:03,114 --> 00:43:06,082
...And see if
this is worth
our time or not.
942
00:43:08,987 --> 00:43:10,787
Yeah, I mean,
I'm seeing some.
943
00:43:10,822 --> 00:43:12,889
It's not fantastic
but it's gold.
944
00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:15,058
Let's go ahead
and pull that
chest back.
945
00:43:15,093 --> 00:43:16,392
All right.
946
00:43:16,428 --> 00:43:19,729
Pan it out
and see if it's clear.
947
00:43:19,764 --> 00:43:21,464
-You want
the honors?
-Yes.
948
00:43:28,673 --> 00:43:30,206
Based on
what I'm seeing...
949
00:43:33,478 --> 00:43:35,478
Yeah, I think
we need to move.
950
00:43:39,851 --> 00:43:41,117
You know, we can
make gas money
951
00:43:41,152 --> 00:43:43,319
and beer money
here but...
952
00:43:43,355 --> 00:43:45,755
We looking
for a little bit
better than this.
953
00:43:45,790 --> 00:43:47,557
There is gold
in clara creek,
954
00:43:47,592 --> 00:43:49,359
there's no doubt
about that.
955
00:43:49,394 --> 00:43:51,594
But we're looking
for the good stuff
956
00:43:51,630 --> 00:43:53,963
and I think
it's time
to pull up
957
00:43:53,999 --> 00:43:56,032
and go on
further up
the creek.
958
00:43:56,034 --> 00:43:58,601
I think the old timers
probably got into this.
959
00:43:59,371 --> 00:44:00,837
But the further
up we go,
960
00:44:00,872 --> 00:44:02,505
the less likely
they've been there,
961
00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:04,273
especially not
with equipment.
962
00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:05,842
We'll call it
a day.
963
00:44:05,877 --> 00:44:08,244
We'll get out here
bright and early
964
00:44:08,313 --> 00:44:09,679
go on up the creek
965
00:44:09,714 --> 00:44:12,415
and give it
another shot.
966
00:44:13,451 --> 00:44:15,551
Okay guys,
we can get
back to town.
967
00:44:15,587 --> 00:44:16,953
-Beer and pizza?
-[brian] all right.
968
00:44:16,988 --> 00:44:18,087
Oh, nice.
969
00:44:18,123 --> 00:44:19,489
[vernon] all right.
970
00:44:23,528 --> 00:44:25,161
[narrator]
thirty miles south...
971
00:44:30,235 --> 00:44:31,401
[emily] how do
you feel about
972
00:44:31,436 --> 00:44:32,969
that buoy hanging
off the nozzle?
973
00:44:33,004 --> 00:44:34,504
You've worked with
one like that before?
974
00:44:34,539 --> 00:44:35,471
Absolutely.
975
00:44:35,507 --> 00:44:36,873
[narrator] after
the sudden jolt
976
00:44:36,908 --> 00:44:39,709
of losing all-star
daryl galipeau
977
00:44:39,744 --> 00:44:42,745
emily riedel is
forging ahead.
978
00:44:45,617 --> 00:44:47,817
We're gonna
get out there.
979
00:44:47,852 --> 00:44:50,086
I'm sad and
disappointed that
daryl left.
980
00:44:50,121 --> 00:44:51,854
He has been
a great asset
over the years
981
00:44:51,890 --> 00:44:53,890
but, you know,
rick's available.
982
00:44:53,925 --> 00:44:55,958
Rick is always
available and up
for a dive.
983
00:44:55,994 --> 00:44:58,161
So, the goal
remains the same.
984
00:44:58,196 --> 00:44:59,729
The gold
is still there
985
00:44:59,764 --> 00:45:00,897
and you need to
go suck it up.
986
00:45:07,672 --> 00:45:09,172
Looks like
a little dolphin.
987
00:45:23,722 --> 00:45:25,988
All right. Be safe.
Don't push it.
988
00:45:26,024 --> 00:45:28,324
[ricky over radio]
yep, we're gonna
reach the gold today.
989
00:45:39,604 --> 00:45:40,970
How's it going, rick?
990
00:45:41,005 --> 00:45:42,305
[ricky over radio]
well...
991
00:45:45,777 --> 00:45:47,043
...Right where
we are,
992
00:45:47,078 --> 00:45:48,745
it's been worked
pretty good.
993
00:45:51,049 --> 00:45:52,548
[emily] all this
was worked.
994
00:45:52,584 --> 00:45:53,483
This is an edge
995
00:45:53,518 --> 00:45:55,351
and somebody
had already worked.
996
00:45:55,386 --> 00:45:56,252
That's what
made me
997
00:45:56,287 --> 00:45:57,587
kind of want to
look at it.
998
00:45:58,990 --> 00:46:01,157
[ricky]
that's not
the best news.
999
00:46:02,861 --> 00:46:04,060
[emily] holy crap.
1000
00:46:06,731 --> 00:46:08,865
[ricky] you can tell
the stuff's
been worked...
1001
00:46:09,734 --> 00:46:11,000
By the top
of these rocks.
1002
00:46:11,035 --> 00:46:12,568
All these particles
have pushed off
1003
00:46:12,604 --> 00:46:14,637
so they've been
through a plant.
1004
00:46:17,509 --> 00:46:18,474
Great.
1005
00:46:19,177 --> 00:46:20,643
Today kind of sucks.
1006
00:46:20,678 --> 00:46:22,211
We were in
a great
pay streak,
1007
00:46:22,247 --> 00:46:23,312
and we get to
our spot
1008
00:46:23,348 --> 00:46:24,781
and we're not
seeing a lot of gold.
1009
00:46:24,816 --> 00:46:26,048
It's just not great.
1010
00:46:26,084 --> 00:46:28,050
When it rains,
it storms out here.
1011
00:46:28,086 --> 00:46:29,986
[grunts]
1012
00:46:33,224 --> 00:46:34,791
oh, oh.
1013
00:46:38,997 --> 00:46:40,129
[emily] yeah.
1014
00:46:41,299 --> 00:46:43,466
And we got a clog.
You want to check?
1015
00:46:43,501 --> 00:46:44,934
I'm gonna
isle her down.
1016
00:46:44,969 --> 00:46:46,202
[over radio]
got to bring it up.
1017
00:46:48,406 --> 00:46:50,039
[emily] yeah.
1018
00:46:50,074 --> 00:46:52,842
Yeah, you got
a rock in the end
of the nozzle.
1019
00:46:53,678 --> 00:46:55,478
[ricky] I see it
right here, em.
1020
00:46:59,918 --> 00:47:01,684
It's really
[bleep] annoying.
1021
00:47:06,591 --> 00:47:07,957
This shouldn't
be happening.
1022
00:47:07,992 --> 00:47:10,159
It's a huge
waste of time
and money.
1023
00:47:10,195 --> 00:47:11,627
Kind of hacks
me off.
1024
00:47:23,041 --> 00:47:26,242
Rick, [bleep]
that's how
you get tired.
1025
00:47:26,277 --> 00:47:28,845
Just, just...
1026
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,713
Just chill!
Just chill!
1027
00:47:56,174 --> 00:47:57,373
It's one of
those days.
1028
00:47:57,408 --> 00:47:58,841
Daryl quits,
1029
00:47:58,877 --> 00:48:01,143
pay streak's
drying up,
hammer breaks
1030
00:48:01,179 --> 00:48:02,912
and the rock
damn us from hell.
1031
00:48:02,947 --> 00:48:04,947
Typical gold
mining season,
1032
00:48:04,983 --> 00:48:07,049
and that it is
just a constant
roller coaster.
1033
00:48:07,085 --> 00:48:09,051
But we're gonna
turn this around,
we've got to.
1034
00:48:10,855 --> 00:48:12,922
Sounds like
we got to pick up
the anchor...
1035
00:48:14,092 --> 00:48:16,626
-Here and move.
-Mm-hm.
1036
00:48:18,463 --> 00:48:19,662
Yep.
1037
00:48:23,835 --> 00:48:26,102
-[beeping]
-[emily] something's
steaming.
1038
00:48:26,137 --> 00:48:27,803
Hold on, I think
it's on fire.
1039
00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:30,339
-[beeping continues]
-[rick] whoa, whoa...
1040
00:48:30,942 --> 00:48:32,375
Yep, it's on fire.
1041
00:48:34,946 --> 00:48:37,146
Not one [bleep].
1042
00:48:37,181 --> 00:48:38,781
[emily] let's spray
some gas on it.
1043
00:48:38,816 --> 00:48:40,182
[ricky laughs]
1044
00:48:40,218 --> 00:48:41,851
son of the bitch.
1045
00:48:43,288 --> 00:48:44,587
[emily]
oh, my god.
1046
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,133
You find a piece
of gold down there?
1047
00:48:57,168 --> 00:48:59,035
[zeke speaking
over radio]
1048
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,406
[raven]
hell yeah, man.
1049
00:49:06,210 --> 00:49:07,843
[narrator] despite
building currents,
1050
00:49:07,879 --> 00:49:09,979
zeke tenhoff
has been
grinding away
1051
00:49:10,014 --> 00:49:12,381
on his first
real pay streak
of the season.
1052
00:49:18,923 --> 00:49:20,289
We got big
ass waves.
1053
00:49:20,325 --> 00:49:21,958
Look at how huge
those waves are.
1054
00:49:23,561 --> 00:49:26,696
I mean, it doesn't
look like much
from up here,
1055
00:49:26,731 --> 00:49:28,064
but if you're down
there, dude,
1056
00:49:28,099 --> 00:49:29,465
it's like, whoa.
1057
00:49:31,736 --> 00:49:33,336
Hey, raven,
these rollers
are getting
1058
00:49:33,371 --> 00:49:34,737
a little bit
too consistent
1059
00:49:34,772 --> 00:49:37,006
and I'm worried
about the sluice box
1060
00:49:37,041 --> 00:49:38,574
hitting the side
of the boat.
1061
00:49:38,609 --> 00:49:39,909
I think we should
tell zeke
1062
00:49:39,944 --> 00:49:41,944
that we should
pull, dude.
1063
00:49:42,547 --> 00:49:43,679
Look at this.
1064
00:49:43,715 --> 00:49:44,847
Woo!
1065
00:49:45,316 --> 00:49:46,415
Damn.
1066
00:49:49,554 --> 00:49:51,954
These swells
are quickly turning
into waves.
1067
00:49:51,990 --> 00:49:53,289
It's getting
pretty consistent
1068
00:49:53,324 --> 00:49:54,757
and pretty
[bleep] greedy.
1069
00:49:56,194 --> 00:49:57,360
[zeke speaking]
1070
00:49:59,497 --> 00:50:01,097
yeah, I think
if you want
to get headed,
1071
00:50:01,132 --> 00:50:03,632
like, they're getting
dangerously close
to the sluice box.
1072
00:50:03,668 --> 00:50:05,868
I think it might
have to be time.
1073
00:50:05,903 --> 00:50:07,503
They're, like,
pulling the hose up
and all that.
1074
00:50:08,506 --> 00:50:09,605
[zeke speaking]
1075
00:50:11,442 --> 00:50:12,675
[raven] yeah,
I'll reel you up.
1076
00:50:19,217 --> 00:50:20,016
He's coming up.
1077
00:50:20,551 --> 00:50:21,784
He doesn't want to.
1078
00:50:21,819 --> 00:50:23,586
There's a lot of
greasy gold
down there...
1079
00:50:24,022 --> 00:50:25,021
Which is great.
1080
00:50:25,056 --> 00:50:26,222
I mean,
we're at the spot
1081
00:50:26,257 --> 00:50:27,289
you know, we can
keep hitting in,
1082
00:50:27,325 --> 00:50:30,292
but these swells
are quickly
becoming waves.
1083
00:50:33,464 --> 00:50:35,131
[zeke speaking]
1084
00:50:41,105 --> 00:50:42,338
[sam]
hell yeah, man.
1085
00:50:42,373 --> 00:50:45,307
[zeke] we got us
some super good
ripping gold today,
1086
00:50:45,343 --> 00:50:47,476
but the currents
picked up enough
1087
00:50:47,512 --> 00:50:49,245
that we couldn't
hold the boat
in position.
1088
00:50:49,847 --> 00:50:50,946
We gotta go home.
1089
00:50:50,982 --> 00:50:52,081
I mean, I knew
this was a risk
1090
00:50:52,116 --> 00:50:53,883
for the productivity
of today
1091
00:50:53,918 --> 00:50:55,551
but all in all,
I would say
1092
00:50:55,586 --> 00:50:56,886
that today has
been a success.
1093
00:50:59,924 --> 00:51:01,724
I haven't done
a clean up
with this bot yet,
1094
00:51:01,759 --> 00:51:04,593
so I don't know
how it's gonna work.
1095
00:51:05,430 --> 00:51:07,463
So, I'm gonna
clean it out
1096
00:51:07,498 --> 00:51:08,798
first thing tomorrow.
1097
00:51:09,734 --> 00:51:11,801
There's that
little chunker...
1098
00:51:12,503 --> 00:51:14,170
Little piece
of gold.
1099
00:51:14,205 --> 00:51:17,006
There's a bunch
of those down there.
[chuckles]
1100
00:51:17,041 --> 00:51:19,308
so, I wanted...
My goal is
to hold on
1101
00:51:19,343 --> 00:51:20,776
to as much gold
as I can
1102
00:51:20,812 --> 00:51:22,578
and I want to learn
how to make
1103
00:51:22,613 --> 00:51:24,046
little pentagrams
out of it.
1104
00:51:26,317 --> 00:51:27,883
[laughs]
1105
00:51:27,919 --> 00:51:31,353
I'm gonna make
as many pentagrams
as I can.
1106
00:51:31,389 --> 00:51:33,155
I think I would
probably be
able to sell
1107
00:51:33,191 --> 00:51:35,458
those pentagrams
for, like, a lot
of money.
1108
00:51:35,493 --> 00:51:36,692
'cause what you
want to do is,
1109
00:51:36,727 --> 00:51:39,395
you want to be able
to sell jewelry to
rappers, I think.
1110
00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:40,830
I think that's where
the real money is.
1111
00:51:42,700 --> 00:51:44,033
People love
pentagrams.
1112
00:52:02,253 --> 00:52:03,819
Hold!
1113
00:52:03,855 --> 00:52:05,254
Shut it down,
shut it down.
1114
00:52:06,023 --> 00:52:07,022
[narrator]
desperate to get
1115
00:52:07,058 --> 00:52:08,190
the myrtle
irene mining,
1116
00:52:08,226 --> 00:52:12,328
things are looking
a bit shaky
for mr. Gold.
1117
00:52:19,604 --> 00:52:21,971
If you look
right here,
we got a gap
1118
00:52:22,006 --> 00:52:25,141
in between our crown
and our deck...
1119
00:52:25,176 --> 00:52:27,810
And we need to
get that down...
1120
00:52:27,845 --> 00:52:31,947
To where it's gonna
not bounce
and flock around.
1121
00:52:34,118 --> 00:52:35,384
I made this deal.
1122
00:52:35,419 --> 00:52:37,119
I took
these chances.
1123
00:52:37,155 --> 00:52:38,787
I put myself
into this mess,
1124
00:52:38,823 --> 00:52:40,589
so I'm gonna
do it myself.
1125
00:52:41,459 --> 00:52:43,526
I gotta weld
this punch plate.
1126
00:52:43,561 --> 00:52:44,960
Hope to hell
it holds,
1127
00:52:44,996 --> 00:52:46,462
so we can fire
this beast up
1128
00:52:46,497 --> 00:52:48,397
and get it out
on the water.
1129
00:52:48,432 --> 00:52:51,066
If not,
I can be facing
financial ruin.
1130
00:52:51,102 --> 00:52:52,101
No pressure.
1131
00:53:01,379 --> 00:53:02,444
It's all welded up.
1132
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,113
We're going
to give it
another shot.
1133
00:53:04,148 --> 00:53:05,281
Hopefully,
it doesn't sound
1134
00:53:05,316 --> 00:53:06,916
as bad as it did
the last time.
1135
00:53:08,219 --> 00:53:09,051
Go for it.
1136
00:53:18,129 --> 00:53:19,795
Woo, shake it, baby.
1137
00:53:22,967 --> 00:53:24,366
Looks like
it's supposed to.
1138
00:53:25,736 --> 00:53:27,036
Yeah.
1139
00:53:27,071 --> 00:53:28,204
Nice job.
1140
00:53:32,243 --> 00:53:35,544
[laughs] woo!
1141
00:53:36,614 --> 00:53:37,546
Yeah!
1142
00:53:39,317 --> 00:53:42,051
We got bolt shakers
clicking just right.
1143
00:53:42,119 --> 00:53:43,752
Now it's the
moment of truth.
1144
00:53:45,923 --> 00:53:47,156
The second
sluice box.
1145
00:53:48,025 --> 00:53:49,892
We built this thing
from scratch.
1146
00:53:50,461 --> 00:53:52,228
It's massive.
1147
00:53:52,263 --> 00:53:54,730
This is how
we plan on catching
way more gold.
1148
00:53:54,765 --> 00:53:56,365
The whole plan
relies on it.
1149
00:53:56,434 --> 00:53:59,301
My whole investment
relies on it.
1150
00:53:59,337 --> 00:54:02,304
This is the biggest load
on the whole system.
1151
00:54:03,708 --> 00:54:05,574
Biggest concerns.
1152
00:54:05,610 --> 00:54:07,943
If this thing
doesn't work,
nothing works.
1153
00:54:12,950 --> 00:54:13,782
[dave speaking]
1154
00:54:15,286 --> 00:54:16,218
that's it.
1155
00:54:17,388 --> 00:54:18,621
Let's see
what it does.
1156
00:54:20,258 --> 00:54:21,323
[engine starts]
1157
00:54:34,972 --> 00:54:36,772
[all cheering]
1158
00:54:38,809 --> 00:54:40,776
[laughing, cheering]
1159
00:54:41,512 --> 00:54:43,045
look at that.
1160
00:54:44,215 --> 00:54:45,214
[shawn]
that's perfect.
1161
00:54:46,150 --> 00:54:47,816
[dave] that works
awesome, huh?
1162
00:54:49,420 --> 00:54:50,686
[both laugh]
1163
00:54:51,255 --> 00:54:52,154
woo!
1164
00:54:55,359 --> 00:54:57,426
[shawn] yeah,
I like the way
that's working.
1165
00:54:57,461 --> 00:54:59,395
[dave] this thing's
gonna kick ass.
1166
00:54:59,430 --> 00:55:02,298
Every penny
we spent
was worth it.
1167
00:55:02,333 --> 00:55:04,066
-Yeah.
-We're gonna
knock it dead.
1168
00:55:04,068 --> 00:55:06,869
[laughs]
1169
00:55:06,904 --> 00:55:09,138
we're gonna make
[bleep] money.
1170
00:55:10,641 --> 00:55:11,707
[dave] good job.
1171
00:55:12,777 --> 00:55:14,076
It's awesome.
1172
00:55:14,111 --> 00:55:15,878
Yeah, it all
works perfect.
1173
00:55:17,748 --> 00:55:19,748
Let's get
out of here.
1174
00:55:19,784 --> 00:55:21,350
-We'll get her
tomorrow, huh?
-Yeah.
1175
00:55:22,887 --> 00:55:25,087
I want to go
out there
and just dig.
1176
00:55:27,458 --> 00:55:29,024
[sci-fi music playing]
1177
00:55:37,568 --> 00:55:39,068
I am the beacon.
1178
00:55:39,537 --> 00:55:41,170
Aliens come forth,
1179
00:55:41,906 --> 00:55:44,006
harvest our gold,
1180
00:55:44,041 --> 00:55:45,974
give us
warp drive...
1181
00:55:47,011 --> 00:55:48,210
And then food.
You gotta...
1182
00:55:48,245 --> 00:55:49,411
How do you do
that food thing
1183
00:55:49,447 --> 00:55:50,546
like on
the enterprise...
1184
00:55:50,581 --> 00:55:52,815
[imitates buzzing]
hey, piña colada.
1185
00:55:52,850 --> 00:55:54,817
Yeah, I want one
of those, too.
1186
00:55:54,852 --> 00:55:55,951
And I know
you guys got it.
1187
00:56:00,958 --> 00:56:03,092
Welcome to
steve's weird,
1188
00:56:03,127 --> 00:56:04,993
wild,
wonderful world
1189
00:56:05,029 --> 00:56:06,562
in nome, alaska.
1190
00:56:06,597 --> 00:56:08,464
We're at
anvil rock here.
1191
00:56:08,499 --> 00:56:10,065
Anvil rock.
1192
00:56:10,101 --> 00:56:14,837
Site of
the destroyed
gold beacon
1193
00:56:14,872 --> 00:56:16,705
that the aliens
sent here
1194
00:56:16,741 --> 00:56:18,374
two millennia ago.
1195
00:56:18,409 --> 00:56:20,709
Aliens are the worst
claim jumpers
1196
00:56:20,745 --> 00:56:22,211
in this side
of the galaxy.
1197
00:56:22,813 --> 00:56:24,012
As you might know,
1198
00:56:24,048 --> 00:56:27,116
the aliens use gold
for warp drive.
1199
00:56:29,387 --> 00:56:30,953
They put
a beacon here
1200
00:56:30,988 --> 00:56:32,955
two millennia ago
1201
00:56:32,990 --> 00:56:34,423
to tell everybody
1202
00:56:34,458 --> 00:56:36,392
within two
lightyears of here,
1203
00:56:36,427 --> 00:56:37,893
as they travel pass,
1204
00:56:37,928 --> 00:56:39,661
if they need
some gas,
1205
00:56:39,697 --> 00:56:41,397
come to
nome, alaska.
1206
00:56:41,432 --> 00:56:44,466
Next stop on
steve's alien tour...
1207
00:56:46,270 --> 00:56:49,238
All of that comes
to a conclusion
right here
1208
00:56:49,273 --> 00:56:53,242
at the human
"us government"
response
1209
00:56:53,277 --> 00:56:55,711
to the alien thievery.
1210
00:56:55,746 --> 00:56:58,180
These towers
were built by
the us government
1211
00:56:58,215 --> 00:57:00,349
in anti-alien
technology.
1212
00:57:00,384 --> 00:57:02,584
And they were
four of them
1213
00:57:02,620 --> 00:57:04,853
until the aliens
found out about it
1214
00:57:04,889 --> 00:57:06,422
and wrecked two.
1215
00:57:06,457 --> 00:57:08,690
Aliens took it out.
1216
00:57:08,726 --> 00:57:10,392
They don't want
to be detected,
1217
00:57:10,428 --> 00:57:12,327
and we got
our eyes on you.
1218
00:57:12,363 --> 00:57:13,762
Take that aliens!
1219
00:57:13,798 --> 00:57:15,297
Our next stop...
1220
00:57:17,067 --> 00:57:18,033
[exhales]
1221
00:57:18,068 --> 00:57:19,501
finally found
1222
00:57:19,537 --> 00:57:21,637
the wreck of
the alien
spacecraft.
1223
00:57:21,672 --> 00:57:24,373
I think I can get
in here a little
closer for you.
1224
00:57:24,408 --> 00:57:27,109
You see,
you've got
warp cores.
1225
00:57:27,144 --> 00:57:28,277
They were breached
1226
00:57:28,312 --> 00:57:29,778
and blew out
their lids.
1227
00:57:29,814 --> 00:57:32,514
Those are
the warp drive rods
1228
00:57:32,550 --> 00:57:34,416
they feed
the gold into.
1229
00:57:34,452 --> 00:57:36,318
But aliens that
crashed here,
1230
00:57:36,353 --> 00:57:38,187
first, they had
a few drinks
at breakers...
1231
00:57:38,222 --> 00:57:40,189
[alien]
two pinacolatos,
please.
1232
00:57:40,224 --> 00:57:41,290
[people screaming]
1233
00:57:43,494 --> 00:57:45,294
...And then
they went up
1234
00:57:45,329 --> 00:57:47,262
and signaled
their buddies
1235
00:57:47,298 --> 00:57:49,832
to come get them,
some sort of
taxi service.
1236
00:57:49,867 --> 00:57:52,201
[alien]
are there movies
on this flight?
1237
00:57:52,236 --> 00:57:54,203
[narrator] now on
bering sea gold...
1238
00:57:54,238 --> 00:57:56,338
[alien laughs]
1239
00:57:56,373 --> 00:57:59,808
that concludes
our tour of aliens,
1240
00:57:59,844 --> 00:58:02,311
gold, warp drive.
1241
00:58:02,346 --> 00:58:06,415
Tune in next time
when we explore
other places
1242
00:58:06,450 --> 00:58:10,752
in weird, wild,
wonderful
nome, alaska.
1243
00:58:11,989 --> 00:58:13,622
Was that recording
the whole time?
1244
00:58:23,868 --> 00:58:26,235
[kris] I'm sorry.
I'm [bleep] up.
1245
00:58:26,270 --> 00:58:29,037
And in the end,
we got screwed
over for it.
1246
00:58:30,741 --> 00:58:33,308
I just want to
get my [bleep]
off of this boat
1247
00:58:33,344 --> 00:58:35,944
and go do something
and get real gold.
1248
00:58:35,980 --> 00:58:37,446
Because if we don't
figure out a plan,
1249
00:58:37,481 --> 00:58:39,348
we're gonna be
[bleep] this season.
1250
00:58:39,383 --> 00:58:40,949
We're already
[bleep] this season.
1251
00:58:42,253 --> 00:58:45,187
[narrator]
kris kelly picks up
the sad remains
1252
00:58:45,222 --> 00:58:48,423
of his busted
million dollars dream.
1253
00:58:48,459 --> 00:58:50,592
We gotta break
everything down,
1254
00:58:50,628 --> 00:58:52,327
take it off
piece by piece,
1255
00:58:52,363 --> 00:58:53,629
you know, 'cause
all of this stuff
1256
00:58:53,664 --> 00:58:55,330
is too heavy
to take off
in one piece.
1257
00:58:55,366 --> 00:58:57,199
So, we're gonna
break down
our entire operation.
1258
00:58:57,234 --> 00:58:59,835
And the way
it looks right now,
1259
00:58:59,870 --> 00:59:00,903
we're [bleep].
1260
00:59:01,705 --> 00:59:03,372
It's been
a [bleep] year
so far.
1261
00:59:03,407 --> 00:59:05,507
And I lost
my [bleep] knife!
1262
00:59:06,176 --> 00:59:07,342
That's it!
1263
00:59:10,447 --> 00:59:11,380
[bleep]
1264
00:59:17,154 --> 00:59:21,390
it's been, like,
literally one [bleep] problem
after another problem
1265
00:59:21,425 --> 00:59:24,760
after another problem
after another problem.
1266
00:59:25,396 --> 00:59:26,295
Oh, no, it's in my pocket.
1267
00:59:26,330 --> 00:59:27,663
I'm just a whining bitch.
1268
00:59:28,699 --> 00:59:30,599
I got too many things
going on in my mind.
1269
00:59:30,634 --> 00:59:31,700
So right now,
1270
00:59:31,735 --> 00:59:32,768
the real problem is...
1271
00:59:33,437 --> 00:59:34,369
Uh...
1272
00:59:34,405 --> 00:59:36,171
We don't have
a plan to get gold anymore.
1273
00:59:36,206 --> 00:59:38,974
You know,
our plan for getting gold...
1274
00:59:39,009 --> 00:59:41,009
[bleep]
1275
00:59:41,045 --> 00:59:43,078
I don't know what the [bleep]
we're going to do
1276
00:59:43,113 --> 00:59:44,179
to fix everything.
1277
00:59:44,615 --> 00:59:45,447
Hey, dopey.
1278
00:59:46,684 --> 00:59:48,183
-Come here,
I want to talk to you.
-Okay.
1279
00:59:49,053 --> 00:59:50,352
[dave] now you're in trouble.
1280
00:59:50,387 --> 00:59:53,355
[kris] I'm not in trouble.
I haven't done anything
today yet.
1281
00:59:53,390 --> 00:59:54,656
I have no idea
1282
00:59:54,692 --> 00:59:56,592
what dave's going to get
on my case about now
1283
00:59:56,627 --> 00:59:58,460
but I have nothing
to lose at this point.
1284
00:59:58,495 --> 01:00:01,630
We have no money,
no gold, no future.
1285
01:00:01,665 --> 01:00:03,565
He can't demand
anything more from me.
1286
01:00:03,634 --> 01:00:05,534
I've been beaten down
and I'm broke.
1287
01:00:06,904 --> 01:00:08,870
-So what's going on?
-What are you going to do?
1288
01:00:08,906 --> 01:00:11,273
[kris] uh, I don't know
what I'm going to do.
1289
01:00:11,308 --> 01:00:12,941
We have no plan right now
to get gold.
1290
01:00:12,977 --> 01:00:15,377
I put all my eggs
in one basket,
1291
01:00:15,412 --> 01:00:17,279
and it turned in
to be a [bleep] show.
1292
01:00:17,314 --> 01:00:18,981
I just-- if we would have
went down there
1293
01:00:19,016 --> 01:00:20,215
and found some gold
1294
01:00:20,250 --> 01:00:22,117
everything
would have been worth it.
1295
01:00:22,152 --> 01:00:23,552
You know, but we just--
1296
01:00:23,587 --> 01:00:26,054
get a 55 grain slug
in your back.
1297
01:00:26,090 --> 01:00:27,222
But that would have been
worth it.
1298
01:00:27,257 --> 01:00:29,424
Yeah, well, you know,
I'm real skinny
1299
01:00:29,460 --> 01:00:31,660
and I'm pretty sure
bullets dodge me real easy.
1300
01:00:31,695 --> 01:00:33,261
[laughs]
1301
01:00:33,297 --> 01:00:34,796
what's your plan?
1302
01:00:34,832 --> 01:00:37,599
Well, I say maybe
I got a solution
for both of us.
1303
01:00:38,702 --> 01:00:41,169
I've been trying
to put my dredge back on
1304
01:00:41,205 --> 01:00:42,971
but I think
I don't have a crew for it
1305
01:00:43,007 --> 01:00:45,040
and I'm out of time.
1306
01:00:45,075 --> 01:00:47,242
So maybe we take
your dredge down.
1307
01:00:47,277 --> 01:00:49,645
You guys, dive.
1308
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,346
Prospect by claims a cripple.
1309
01:00:55,119 --> 01:00:56,551
Do you think we're gonna
get gold though?
1310
01:00:56,587 --> 01:00:58,654
Dude, there's huge nuggets
down there.
1311
01:00:58,689 --> 01:01:00,722
[kris] dave is one
of the lucky people
1312
01:01:00,758 --> 01:01:03,358
that came at the right time
in the right place
1313
01:01:03,394 --> 01:01:05,260
and that's all it is.
It's just luck.
1314
01:01:05,295 --> 01:01:06,561
You know, he's irish.
1315
01:01:06,597 --> 01:01:09,531
So he showed up to nome
before anybody was here.
1316
01:01:09,566 --> 01:01:11,433
He had the money
and the equipment
1317
01:01:11,468 --> 01:01:12,901
to stake all these claims.
1318
01:01:12,936 --> 01:01:15,404
So right now, dave mccully's
got a claim in a boat
1319
01:01:15,439 --> 01:01:16,905
but he doesn't have
another crew.
1320
01:01:16,940 --> 01:01:18,573
So it's my only opportunity
1321
01:01:18,609 --> 01:01:20,842
to make some gold
and turn things around
this season.
1322
01:01:20,878 --> 01:01:23,578
So what kind of a gold split
do you want to do?
1323
01:01:23,614 --> 01:01:25,681
You know,
I know it's your claims,
1324
01:01:25,716 --> 01:01:29,951
your boat, your equipment,
your, your, your and your.
1325
01:01:29,987 --> 01:01:31,520
But what kind of crumbs
are you going to kick me?
1326
01:01:31,555 --> 01:01:34,156
I was thinking,
I give you 30 percent.
1327
01:01:36,493 --> 01:01:37,926
Can you do
a little bit better on that?
1328
01:01:37,961 --> 01:01:38,827
No.
1329
01:01:43,634 --> 01:01:44,599
I'm going
to have to talk about it
1330
01:01:44,635 --> 01:01:46,001
with my dad and brother
1331
01:01:46,036 --> 01:01:47,869
just because I'm not a [bleep]
1332
01:01:47,905 --> 01:01:49,571
and they like
to be kept in the loop.
1333
01:01:49,606 --> 01:01:51,907
But between you and I,
I think we're doing it
1334
01:01:51,942 --> 01:01:55,811
'cause we literally
have not one [bleep] option
right now.
1335
01:01:55,846 --> 01:01:57,145
I'm going to go talk
to my dad and brother
1336
01:01:57,181 --> 01:01:58,513
and I'll talk to you later.
1337
01:01:58,549 --> 01:01:59,681
-There you go.
-Okay.
1338
01:01:59,717 --> 01:02:01,049
-Thank you.
-Be in touch.
1339
01:02:02,419 --> 01:02:04,886
Box split is terrible.
70-30.
1340
01:02:04,922 --> 01:02:07,189
It's like,
"damn, I know hookers
that get paid better"
1341
01:02:07,224 --> 01:02:09,024
but, uh, we're still...
1342
01:02:09,059 --> 01:02:11,126
Right now, some money
is better than no money
1343
01:02:11,161 --> 01:02:14,096
and I know dave will negotiate
a little bit better.
1344
01:02:14,131 --> 01:02:15,230
Don't worry about that.
1345
01:02:15,265 --> 01:02:17,632
I just needed a number,
a figure to get started with
1346
01:02:17,668 --> 01:02:19,601
and that's like
a ground starting point.
1347
01:02:19,636 --> 01:02:21,269
So now we can
start to negotiate
1348
01:02:21,305 --> 01:02:22,571
and make that number come up.
1349
01:02:25,375 --> 01:02:26,641
But we're doing this.
1350
01:02:26,677 --> 01:02:27,843
We have no other options.
1351
01:02:27,878 --> 01:02:29,244
So we're doing this.
1352
01:02:29,279 --> 01:02:31,079
That turned out to be better
than I thought it was
going to be.
1353
01:02:31,115 --> 01:02:32,414
[bleep]
1354
01:02:32,449 --> 01:02:34,716
no, no, no.
We're not done with it.
1355
01:02:34,752 --> 01:02:36,384
Let's just go
and I'll tell you the story.
1356
01:02:36,420 --> 01:02:37,619
[man] what's the story now?
1357
01:02:37,654 --> 01:02:39,888
[kris] it's a long,
complicated story, okay?
1358
01:02:39,923 --> 01:02:42,190
What [bleep] job
you bring us down this time?
1359
01:02:42,226 --> 01:02:44,126
[kris] let's just concentrate
on the good.
1360
01:02:50,634 --> 01:02:51,833
[narrator] two miles east.
1361
01:02:53,670 --> 01:02:55,170
[emily] getting to it.
1362
01:02:55,205 --> 01:02:56,705
Hopefully, we'll find gold
in this spot.
1363
01:02:58,208 --> 01:02:59,641
Man knows where the gold is,
1364
01:02:59,676 --> 01:03:01,343
man's going to dive on it.
1365
01:03:01,378 --> 01:03:03,612
[narrator]
her lead diver took a dive
1366
01:03:03,647 --> 01:03:06,281
and her pay streak dried up.
1367
01:03:06,316 --> 01:03:10,519
But emily riedel is still
in the fight for gold.
1368
01:03:10,554 --> 01:03:12,320
[emily] I'm excited
to get on that ground
1369
01:03:12,356 --> 01:03:14,956
and see if there's
anything exceptional.
1370
01:03:14,992 --> 01:03:17,225
After so many years
of doing this,
1371
01:03:17,261 --> 01:03:19,494
the problems are repetitive.
1372
01:03:19,530 --> 01:03:20,996
You know,
the bering sea gets mad,
1373
01:03:21,598 --> 01:03:22,631
your equipment gets mad.
1374
01:03:22,666 --> 01:03:25,300
Everything's breaking.
People are breaking.
1375
01:03:25,335 --> 01:03:26,735
I mean, it's defeat, you know,
1376
01:03:26,770 --> 01:03:28,904
and you just kind of have to
let it steamroll you
1377
01:03:28,939 --> 01:03:30,539
for a while,
and then you fight back.
1378
01:03:32,576 --> 01:03:34,376
All right,
let's talk about game plan.
1379
01:03:34,411 --> 01:03:36,178
I figured we could do
some live boating.
1380
01:03:38,015 --> 01:03:40,315
The idea for live boating
is that you can just cover
1381
01:03:40,350 --> 01:03:42,384
as much ground as possible
when you're prospecting.
1382
01:03:44,454 --> 01:03:46,555
I need to make
the gold happen.
1383
01:03:46,590 --> 01:03:48,323
And the best way
I know how to do this
1384
01:03:48,358 --> 01:03:49,391
is live boating.
1385
01:03:49,426 --> 01:03:51,193
With live boating,
we're not setting anchor,
1386
01:03:51,228 --> 01:03:53,461
the gears down,
the divers down,
1387
01:03:53,497 --> 01:03:56,631
and the diver is out in front
of the boat, poking holes
1388
01:03:56,667 --> 01:03:59,167
and it's just kind
of rapid fire prospecting.
1389
01:03:59,203 --> 01:04:02,137
Often we find gold
pretty quickly.
1390
01:04:02,172 --> 01:04:04,372
There's a lot of things
that can go terribly wrong
1391
01:04:04,408 --> 01:04:05,640
in a live boating situation.
1392
01:04:05,676 --> 01:04:07,742
That's why we're doing,
like, a full house
1393
01:04:07,778 --> 01:04:09,411
is because somebody
needs to be on the cons,
1394
01:04:09,446 --> 01:04:10,912
somebody needs
to be on the outboard
1395
01:04:10,948 --> 01:04:12,414
and somebody needs
to be on the umbilical.
1396
01:04:12,449 --> 01:04:14,049
So it's
a very stressful situation.
1397
01:04:14,084 --> 01:04:15,517
[man] how about you?
You stoked?
1398
01:04:15,552 --> 01:04:17,419
I'm stoked about this weather.
1399
01:04:18,622 --> 01:04:20,922
[emily] live boating
is a stressful event.
1400
01:04:20,958 --> 01:04:24,292
You have a live vessel
with running outboard motors,
1401
01:04:24,328 --> 01:04:27,062
currents, hoses,
lines, tangles,
1402
01:04:27,097 --> 01:04:29,231
all sorts
of potential calamity.
1403
01:04:29,266 --> 01:04:31,900
So it requires
all hands on deck.
1404
01:04:31,935 --> 01:04:34,636
So I brought our tender
larissa,
1405
01:04:34,671 --> 01:04:36,504
and she's going
to give an extra hand.
1406
01:04:36,540 --> 01:04:38,740
We're on a nice sand edge
that we want to check out
1407
01:04:38,775 --> 01:04:40,709
and then we're going to start
live boating from there.
1408
01:04:42,679 --> 01:04:45,947
The biggest thing all the time
when we're live boating
1409
01:04:45,983 --> 01:04:48,516
is an airline getting
tangled up in something.
1410
01:04:48,552 --> 01:04:50,252
That is always the concern
1411
01:04:50,287 --> 01:04:52,988
because, you know,
air is like sex.
1412
01:04:53,023 --> 01:04:55,624
You don't miss it
till you're not getting any.
1413
01:04:55,659 --> 01:04:58,593
Larissa,
you're on the umbilical.
1414
01:04:58,629 --> 01:05:01,263
Try to keep your hand on it.
1415
01:05:01,298 --> 01:05:02,964
And then every
once in a while,
1416
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,633
kinda check back with us,
1417
01:05:04,668 --> 01:05:07,769
so we can kind
of check out bob's position
1418
01:05:07,804 --> 01:05:10,305
-to point out where he's at.
-Okay.
1419
01:05:10,340 --> 01:05:13,475
[man] he's just going
to cruise around,
look for unworked ground.
1420
01:05:13,510 --> 01:05:15,610
Ground that looks
potentially good.
1421
01:05:15,646 --> 01:05:17,879
He knows what he's doing,
so I feel confident.
1422
01:05:18,715 --> 01:05:20,515
Hey man, go with god.
1423
01:05:20,550 --> 01:05:22,384
[laughs] assume he can
find me here.
1424
01:05:58,021 --> 01:05:59,754
Yeah, she's backing up
as we're talking.
1425
01:05:59,790 --> 01:06:01,690
I have to do
some maneuvering here.
1426
01:06:03,827 --> 01:06:04,826
I think I got it.
1427
01:06:07,798 --> 01:06:09,464
Yeah, you're about
one o'clock right now.
1428
01:06:22,746 --> 01:06:24,379
Set.
1429
01:06:24,414 --> 01:06:25,880
[man] we're in neutral.
1430
01:06:25,916 --> 01:06:28,049
-Where's he at?
-12 o'clock.
1431
01:06:28,085 --> 01:06:28,917
Okay.
1432
01:06:57,347 --> 01:06:58,813
Is he good? Okay.
1433
01:07:08,925 --> 01:07:10,325
Bob's just down there
1434
01:07:12,462 --> 01:07:13,795
putting down the cut.
1435
01:07:30,147 --> 01:07:31,913
A convenient thing
is that we're facing north
1436
01:07:31,948 --> 01:07:33,615
and that's where the wind
is supposed to be coming from.
1437
01:07:33,650 --> 01:07:35,683
[bob yells] oh, my god!
1438
01:07:40,924 --> 01:07:42,991
There's a whole bunch
of gold right here.
1439
01:07:44,361 --> 01:07:46,494
[emily] oh, nice!
1440
01:07:46,530 --> 01:07:49,264
Let's just get the anchor set
as quickly as possible.
1441
01:07:49,299 --> 01:07:50,465
This is what
I'm talking about.
1442
01:07:50,534 --> 01:07:52,167
After all that [bleep].
1443
01:07:52,202 --> 01:07:53,902
Darryl leaving and bad gold.
1444
01:07:53,937 --> 01:07:55,570
This is exactly what we need.
1445
01:07:55,605 --> 01:07:57,439
We need to just spend hours
1446
01:07:57,474 --> 01:07:58,706
putting ounces
in the sluice box.
1447
01:07:58,742 --> 01:08:00,241
So it's awesome.
1448
01:08:00,277 --> 01:08:01,709
And we'll set up here
1449
01:08:01,745 --> 01:08:03,344
and we'll see
what it turns into.
1450
01:08:05,282 --> 01:08:07,182
Whoo! We're on it, baby!
1451
01:08:07,217 --> 01:08:08,083
[exclaims]
1452
01:08:09,352 --> 01:08:10,585
[larissa exclaims]
1453
01:08:10,620 --> 01:08:12,687
[emily] yeah, all right.
1454
01:08:18,395 --> 01:08:20,829
[thrilling music playing]
1455
01:08:25,235 --> 01:08:27,102
[birds screeching]
1456
01:08:32,409 --> 01:08:33,641
here we go, dave.
1457
01:08:33,677 --> 01:08:36,444
Okay, I've been waiting
all week for this, buddy.
1458
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:37,912
Let's do it.
1459
01:08:37,948 --> 01:08:39,581
[narrator]
the day has finally come
1460
01:08:39,649 --> 01:08:42,684
for the new and improved
myrtle irene to be...
1461
01:08:42,719 --> 01:08:44,586
[dramatic music plays]
1462
01:08:44,621 --> 01:08:47,555
...Unleashed
on the bering sea.
1463
01:08:48,959 --> 01:08:50,525
[shawn] you guys ready?
1464
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:51,326
[dave] let's do it!
1465
01:08:51,361 --> 01:08:52,760
Go get some gold!
1466
01:08:53,830 --> 01:08:55,530
Let's do it.
1467
01:08:55,565 --> 01:08:56,631
[dave] a lot of hard work.
1468
01:08:56,666 --> 01:08:58,533
Let's pick up the spot to go.
1469
01:08:58,568 --> 01:09:01,302
-Let's go, let's go!
-[dave] all right.
1470
01:09:01,338 --> 01:09:03,438
[shawn] everything seems
to be working perfectly
1471
01:09:03,473 --> 01:09:05,540
but you never know
until you put the bucket down
1472
01:09:05,575 --> 01:09:06,975
and put some dirt
through the box.
1473
01:09:07,010 --> 01:09:09,077
I'm going to take it
to a cobble field
close to town
1474
01:09:09,112 --> 01:09:11,346
to make sure everything's
working perfectly
1475
01:09:11,381 --> 01:09:13,148
before I take it to tomcod.
1476
01:09:13,183 --> 01:09:15,517
I don't want to spend
too much time on field,
1477
01:09:15,552 --> 01:09:17,385
finding out there's
a bunch of problems.
1478
01:09:17,420 --> 01:09:20,021
Now it's time to see
what this bad girl can do.
1479
01:09:24,461 --> 01:09:27,162
Okay, you can go ahead
and pull us around.
1480
01:09:27,197 --> 01:09:29,297
[dramatic music playing]
1481
01:09:35,939 --> 01:09:37,005
oh, yeah.
1482
01:09:37,774 --> 01:09:39,040
[dave] we're doing it.
1483
01:09:40,610 --> 01:09:42,010
Tell you what,
it feels good.
1484
01:09:52,189 --> 01:09:53,555
[radio] myrtle irene
1485
01:09:53,590 --> 01:09:54,856
departing nome harbor.
1486
01:09:55,825 --> 01:09:57,625
There you go.
Straighten her out, eh.
1487
01:09:58,862 --> 01:10:00,094
Slow and steady.
1488
01:10:01,464 --> 01:10:03,498
[man over radio]
all right, shawn,
I'm neutral.
1489
01:10:03,533 --> 01:10:04,799
All right, I got her.
1490
01:10:16,213 --> 01:10:18,479
I can't believe
we're doing it, shawn.
1491
01:10:18,515 --> 01:10:19,614
About time.
1492
01:10:19,649 --> 01:10:20,782
We're [bleep] doing it.
1493
01:10:26,456 --> 01:10:28,223
[man over radio] well,
this is pretty decent
out here.
1494
01:10:28,258 --> 01:10:31,359
There's, like, some
sand and cobble.
1495
01:10:31,394 --> 01:10:34,162
It doesn't look like
it's been just destroyed,
like, right behind me.
1496
01:10:34,197 --> 01:10:35,830
[shawn] yeah,
I'm gonna swing us around
1497
01:10:35,865 --> 01:10:37,665
and then we'll back in there.
1498
01:10:37,734 --> 01:10:39,867
[man over radio] copy that.
1499
01:10:39,903 --> 01:10:42,537
[shawn] this is a good spot
to test out the myrtle irene.
1500
01:10:42,572 --> 01:10:45,206
Lots of cobble,
lots of heavy material.
1501
01:10:45,242 --> 01:10:47,642
If she can handle this,
I know I built her right.
1502
01:10:47,677 --> 01:10:49,077
And we're in business.
1503
01:10:52,315 --> 01:10:54,949
[mechanical whirring]
1504
01:11:00,290 --> 01:11:02,457
here we go.
Spuns are going down.
1505
01:11:02,492 --> 01:11:04,325
We'll fire everything up,
1506
01:11:04,361 --> 01:11:06,995
get water around,
and get the plants fired up.
1507
01:11:07,030 --> 01:11:08,563
Start throwing some dirt...
1508
01:11:08,598 --> 01:11:10,632
Let's do it.
I've been waiting
all year for this.
1509
01:11:10,667 --> 01:11:11,566
Let's do it, huh?
1510
01:11:11,601 --> 01:11:12,533
Let's do it.
1511
01:11:13,169 --> 01:11:14,402
Nervous.
1512
01:11:14,437 --> 01:11:17,338
All this work
and all this money
1513
01:11:17,374 --> 01:11:19,307
coming down
to this moment right now.
1514
01:11:35,292 --> 01:11:36,724
[engine starts]
1515
01:11:42,599 --> 01:11:44,599
time to do the first bucket.
1516
01:11:44,634 --> 01:11:47,335
Be interesting
to see how it washes.
1517
01:11:48,438 --> 01:11:50,672
[engine whirring]
1518
01:11:59,516 --> 01:12:01,416
[man] this is what
it all comes down to,
right here.
1519
01:12:01,451 --> 01:12:03,418
Is it gonna work as planned?
1520
01:12:03,987 --> 01:12:05,053
Hope so.
1521
01:12:20,437 --> 01:12:21,269
Here we go.
1522
01:12:22,939 --> 01:12:24,939
[rumbling]
1523
01:12:30,113 --> 01:12:32,180
look at that
blasted [bleep] area.
1524
01:12:32,215 --> 01:12:33,548
Does it pump the gravel?
1525
01:12:34,184 --> 01:12:36,117
It's pumping gravel.
1526
01:12:36,686 --> 01:12:37,518
[bleep]
1527
01:12:40,423 --> 01:12:42,323
seems like everything's
working.
1528
01:12:43,259 --> 01:12:45,159
I'm going to go
check things out.
1529
01:12:45,195 --> 01:12:47,662
Let cody throw some buckets in
and if I'm happy,
1530
01:12:47,697 --> 01:12:50,098
we're going to head down
to the tomcod,
1531
01:12:50,133 --> 01:12:51,632
go make some serious coins.
1532
01:12:51,668 --> 01:12:53,768
[dramatic music playing]
1533
01:13:23,933 --> 01:13:25,800
[dave] it's working perfect.
1534
01:13:25,835 --> 01:13:27,034
Just like I planned it.
1535
01:13:28,738 --> 01:13:30,505
Hey, what do you want to do?
1536
01:13:30,540 --> 01:13:31,839
Everything's working.
1537
01:13:31,875 --> 01:13:34,308
Let's go make some gold
down that tomcod.
1538
01:13:34,344 --> 01:13:36,811
-Let's do it, man.
-[laughs]
1539
01:13:36,846 --> 01:13:39,714
I can't believe
that is working.
1540
01:13:44,053 --> 01:13:47,188
[shawn laughing]
we're gonna kill it.
1541
01:13:52,896 --> 01:13:54,629
It's pretty amazing.
1542
01:13:54,664 --> 01:13:55,730
All coming together.
1543
01:13:58,234 --> 01:14:01,803
Everything works
just the way it's supposed to.
1544
01:14:01,838 --> 01:14:04,238
Now, I'm going to go
do what I do best.
1545
01:14:06,142 --> 01:14:07,809
I'm gonna pile up some gold.
1546
01:14:09,412 --> 01:14:10,578
Here we go.
1547
01:14:11,848 --> 01:14:13,581
No time like the present.
1548
01:14:16,953 --> 01:14:18,052
Hello and welcome
to another episode
1549
01:14:18,087 --> 01:14:20,054
of kris kelly's secret guide
to successful mining.
1550
01:14:20,089 --> 01:14:21,923
Today, I'm going
to tell you about gold.
1551
01:14:21,958 --> 01:14:23,191
What the [bleep].
1552
01:14:23,226 --> 01:14:24,659
There's nothing
to tell about gold.
1553
01:14:24,694 --> 01:14:26,260
[cheerful music playing]
1554
01:14:29,966 --> 01:14:31,032
gold's a rock.
1555
01:14:31,067 --> 01:14:33,501
It's an element,
and it's worth something.
1556
01:14:33,536 --> 01:14:35,136
'cause you know what?
Way back in the day,
1557
01:14:35,171 --> 01:14:36,571
some [bleep] saw it
in the ground
1558
01:14:36,606 --> 01:14:37,839
and saw that it was shiny.
1559
01:14:37,874 --> 01:14:39,974
And they figured out
if they put it together
1560
01:14:40,009 --> 01:14:41,409
they can make
sculptures of it.
1561
01:14:42,579 --> 01:14:44,545
Gold is literally
found everywhere
1562
01:14:44,581 --> 01:14:46,113
in the [bleep] world almost.
1563
01:14:49,152 --> 01:14:50,651
What's the atomic weight
of gold?
1564
01:14:51,988 --> 01:14:53,721
I don't know
the atomic weight of gold.
1565
01:14:53,756 --> 01:14:56,090
Is this science class
or is it how to find gold?
1566
01:14:56,125 --> 01:14:58,459
Because if you want to find
gold on a periodic table,
1567
01:14:58,495 --> 01:15:00,061
go talk to somebody else.
1568
01:15:00,096 --> 01:15:02,163
But if you want
to find gold in the ground,
1569
01:15:02,198 --> 01:15:03,130
you come on and see me.
1570
01:15:03,166 --> 01:15:04,665
You know that's all--
1571
01:15:04,734 --> 01:15:06,334
what class do you want?
1572
01:15:06,369 --> 01:15:07,969
Bill nye, the science guy
1573
01:15:08,004 --> 01:15:10,338
or kris kelly's secret guide
to successful mining.
1574
01:15:12,375 --> 01:15:13,674
No, you don't!
1575
01:15:13,710 --> 01:15:17,044
You do not need to know
the atomic weight of gold
to find it.
1576
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,648
I bet these [bleep]
gold miners back
in the turn of the century,
1577
01:15:20,683 --> 01:15:22,683
they were not
asking themselves,
1578
01:15:22,719 --> 01:15:24,685
"hey what's
the atomic weight of gold?"
1579
01:15:24,721 --> 01:15:25,820
because they didn't
give a [bleep].
1580
01:15:25,855 --> 01:15:28,055
They worried about scurvy,
getting shot
1581
01:15:28,091 --> 01:15:30,458
and dying of poorness.
1582
01:15:31,961 --> 01:15:33,027
It's been another episode
1583
01:15:33,062 --> 01:15:35,563
of kris kelly's secret
guide to successful mining.
1584
01:15:35,598 --> 01:15:37,899
If you want to know more,
go to your local library
1585
01:15:37,967 --> 01:15:39,000
or maybe read a [bleep] book.
1586
01:15:40,203 --> 01:15:41,068
[whistles]
1587
01:15:41,104 --> 01:15:42,203
this sucks.
1588
01:15:42,238 --> 01:15:43,871
This better not make it
on the show.
1589
01:15:53,783 --> 01:15:56,617
I don't think we passed
a car between here and nome.
1590
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:58,519
About 30 miles.
1591
01:15:58,555 --> 01:16:01,756
Passed about a dozen
musk ox, but no cars.
1592
01:16:01,791 --> 01:16:03,591
More musk ox than people.
1593
01:16:03,626 --> 01:16:05,159
That's all right with me.
1594
01:16:06,195 --> 01:16:08,429
[narrator] after yesterday's
lackluster haul,
1595
01:16:08,464 --> 01:16:10,965
vernon's team
has moved up the river,
1596
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:12,767
hoping to up the gold tally.
1597
01:16:13,636 --> 01:16:15,503
[whirring]
1598
01:16:17,774 --> 01:16:21,108
[vernon] all this gold
has had about
20 million years
1599
01:16:21,144 --> 01:16:24,345
to make its way
down to bedrock.
1600
01:16:24,380 --> 01:16:27,214
But once they get the bedrock,
it can't go any deeper.
1601
01:16:27,250 --> 01:16:29,850
But since it's
the heaviest element,
1602
01:16:29,886 --> 01:16:33,154
it's always working
its way down.
1603
01:16:33,189 --> 01:16:35,690
That's what we're gonna
be looking for here.
1604
01:16:36,593 --> 01:16:38,259
There's gold in clara creek.
1605
01:16:38,294 --> 01:16:41,162
I suspected it, and sure
enough, proved it yesterday.
1606
01:16:43,066 --> 01:16:44,832
But we're not
looking for beer money.
1607
01:16:44,867 --> 01:16:46,567
We're looking
for the good stuff.
1608
01:16:46,603 --> 01:16:47,969
That's why we moved up stream.
1609
01:16:48,004 --> 01:16:49,670
I don't think this ground
1610
01:16:49,706 --> 01:16:51,572
has been worked
as hard as down below.
1611
01:16:51,608 --> 01:16:53,074
[drilling]
1612
01:16:53,109 --> 01:16:53,874
hey, brian.
1613
01:16:53,910 --> 01:16:55,142
[brian] yeah?
1614
01:16:55,178 --> 01:16:56,877
Let's take a look
at that dredge mat too,
1615
01:16:56,913 --> 01:16:58,179
see if we're gettin' anything.
1616
01:16:58,214 --> 01:16:59,113
All right.
1617
01:16:59,148 --> 01:17:01,082
I saw a nice little bit go up.
1618
01:17:01,117 --> 01:17:02,583
-Oh, really?
-Yeah, yeah.
1619
01:17:04,654 --> 01:17:06,754
Let's take a look
at our dredge mat
1620
01:17:06,789 --> 01:17:08,289
and if we've got some
good gold in there,
1621
01:17:08,324 --> 01:17:09,523
we'll sift for a while.
1622
01:17:11,361 --> 01:17:12,526
We'll see what happens here.
1623
01:17:12,562 --> 01:17:14,595
It looks like
a lot in here, but...
1624
01:17:14,631 --> 01:17:16,564
Yeah.
1625
01:17:16,599 --> 01:17:18,799
We're getting gold fever,
that's what we're getting.
1626
01:17:18,835 --> 01:17:20,968
Look at that line
of gold right there.
1627
01:17:21,738 --> 01:17:22,970
Nice little piece.
1628
01:17:23,006 --> 01:17:25,840
This is a lil' piece
of gold there,
right there.
1629
01:17:25,875 --> 01:17:28,042
[brian] we were in there,
what, a half an hour
or 20 minutes?
1630
01:17:28,077 --> 01:17:29,410
[man] yeah.
1631
01:17:29,445 --> 01:17:32,179
So we're only going to do
this top little section
of the box here.
1632
01:17:32,215 --> 01:17:33,681
And there's still
gonna be gold in here
1633
01:17:33,716 --> 01:17:36,417
but this will give us
a good idea of what
the creek has to offer.
1634
01:17:42,725 --> 01:17:43,924
See what you got.
1635
01:17:45,461 --> 01:17:46,360
It's like a half an hour.
1636
01:17:49,165 --> 01:17:51,132
It's a pretty [bleep] damn
good gold there.
1637
01:17:51,167 --> 01:17:52,299
That's what that is.
1638
01:17:52,335 --> 01:17:55,069
Damn, I mean,
that's pretty impressive.
1639
01:17:55,104 --> 01:17:57,638
From that lil' hole...
[indistinct]
1640
01:17:57,674 --> 01:18:00,207
I mean, that's not bad
for a rainy day.
1641
01:18:00,243 --> 01:18:02,510
[vernon]
we found something good.
1642
01:18:02,545 --> 01:18:05,046
This will be our own
personal little piggy bank.
1643
01:18:05,081 --> 01:18:07,748
Anytime
we can't dread off shore,
1644
01:18:07,784 --> 01:18:08,916
we can come up here
1645
01:18:08,951 --> 01:18:11,052
and we can get
into some serious gold.
1646
01:18:11,087 --> 01:18:13,988
This summer
just keeps getting better.
1647
01:18:14,023 --> 01:18:16,791
I'm actually kind
of excited about this.
1648
01:18:16,826 --> 01:18:19,126
I haven't been excited
in quite a while now.
1649
01:18:19,162 --> 01:18:20,928
Nice little crispy one.
1650
01:18:20,963 --> 01:18:23,564
It's right off the cobble mat.
1651
01:18:23,599 --> 01:18:25,199
Lookin' better all the time.
1652
01:18:34,043 --> 01:18:35,910
[narrator]
25 miles southeast.
1653
01:18:40,983 --> 01:18:42,383
[zeke] if it bothers you guys,
1654
01:18:42,418 --> 01:18:44,852
or if you guys
get contact high,
I can put it out.
1655
01:18:46,022 --> 01:18:47,154
[giggles]
1656
01:18:47,190 --> 01:18:50,257
[coughs, laughs] yeah.
1657
01:18:54,197 --> 01:18:55,996
[narrator] zeke, and the crew
of the black swan
1658
01:18:56,032 --> 01:18:57,932
are hoping their first way out
1659
01:18:57,967 --> 01:19:01,235
is as 'high' as can be.
1660
01:19:01,270 --> 01:19:03,404
Because to be 'blunt',
1661
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:06,173
they need to start
'rolling' some gold.
1662
01:19:06,209 --> 01:19:08,476
Honestly, at this point,
1663
01:19:08,511 --> 01:19:11,712
I'm just happy we have
a clean up at this point
at all
1664
01:19:11,748 --> 01:19:14,448
to spend a lot
of research and development.
1665
01:19:14,484 --> 01:19:16,684
It took months and months
of working on projects
1666
01:19:16,719 --> 01:19:18,586
and getting things
to work right
to get to the point
1667
01:19:18,621 --> 01:19:20,788
where it works well enough
to do this.
1668
01:19:20,823 --> 01:19:23,057
And so it's, like,
by any measurement,
1669
01:19:23,092 --> 01:19:24,525
this is awesome.
1670
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,528
And we didn't need
to repeat this over and over.
1671
01:19:27,563 --> 01:19:30,831
I know that in order
to break even
1672
01:19:30,867 --> 01:19:33,134
with the money
that I put into all the gear
1673
01:19:33,169 --> 01:19:34,969
to put the sailboat
dredge together.
1674
01:19:35,004 --> 01:19:37,271
I mean, I got to come up
with somewhere
1675
01:19:37,306 --> 01:19:39,740
around 50 ounces
to break even with that.
1676
01:19:39,776 --> 01:19:44,145
So I'm hoping that
I can really start
chipping away
1677
01:19:44,180 --> 01:19:46,614
on paying back
the money I put into this
1678
01:19:46,649 --> 01:19:48,883
and breaking even this fall,
I really do.
1679
01:19:49,585 --> 01:19:50,451
See how it weighs up.
1680
01:19:52,288 --> 01:19:53,954
So...
1681
01:19:53,990 --> 01:19:58,058
Hopefully
we have $2,000 an ounce.
1682
01:19:58,094 --> 01:20:00,461
It doesn't have to add up
to much to keep it going.
1683
01:20:01,798 --> 01:20:02,630
Yeah.
1684
01:20:04,100 --> 01:20:06,867
We're 0.87 ounces
for this one.
1685
01:20:07,737 --> 01:20:09,503
So that's like $1,500.
1686
01:20:10,807 --> 01:20:12,740
Still a lot of money.
1687
01:20:12,775 --> 01:20:15,309
Rome wasn't built in a day
and neither was nome.
1688
01:20:15,344 --> 01:20:17,511
I mean, this isn't
like a huge clean up
1689
01:20:17,547 --> 01:20:19,647
by any stretch
of the imagination
1690
01:20:19,682 --> 01:20:22,082
but we were only out there
for a couple of hours
1691
01:20:22,118 --> 01:20:23,851
and we still brought
some good gold in
1692
01:20:23,886 --> 01:20:25,085
before we got blown off.
1693
01:20:25,121 --> 01:20:26,887
If we get full days in
on that spot,
1694
01:20:26,923 --> 01:20:28,222
we're going to have
a killer summer.
1695
01:20:28,257 --> 01:20:31,025
Definitely proves to me
that the systems work
well enough
1696
01:20:31,060 --> 01:20:33,127
that we can shift
into just production mode
1697
01:20:33,162 --> 01:20:34,862
and do a bunch of dredging.
1698
01:20:34,897 --> 01:20:37,832
And I think there's probably
a lot of gold left
1699
01:20:37,867 --> 01:20:39,300
where we left that buoy.
1700
01:20:39,335 --> 01:20:41,468
And it'll add up fast
if we just grind on it
1701
01:20:41,504 --> 01:20:42,770
and try to get
a bunch of hours in
1702
01:20:43,673 --> 01:20:45,039
we got to get smelter.
1703
01:20:45,074 --> 01:20:46,640
[man]
smelt these into jewelry.
1704
01:20:46,676 --> 01:20:47,675
[zeke] mm-hmm.
1705
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:52,446
[narrator]
five miles west.
1706
01:20:54,750 --> 01:20:57,551
[emily] if anyone wants
to find a fortune in gold,
1707
01:20:57,587 --> 01:20:59,386
they just have
to steal my gps.
1708
01:20:59,422 --> 01:21:00,487
Holy [bleep]
1709
01:21:01,057 --> 01:21:03,958
there's so much gold.
1710
01:21:03,993 --> 01:21:05,559
[narrator]
emily riedel's ready to see
1711
01:21:05,595 --> 01:21:08,562
just how hot
their new hotspot really is.
1712
01:21:09,398 --> 01:21:10,698
[emily] this looks great.
1713
01:21:10,733 --> 01:21:12,733
[man] we got on some cobble
and it didn't look bad.
1714
01:21:12,768 --> 01:21:13,901
Kind of interesting.
1715
01:21:13,936 --> 01:21:15,970
[emily]
I don't know what it is
about me and gold.
1716
01:21:16,005 --> 01:21:18,706
I'm just like
enraptured by it.
1717
01:21:18,741 --> 01:21:21,075
Anyway, it's like
I've fallen in love
all over again.
1718
01:21:21,110 --> 01:21:23,410
We were down
for a bit for sure.
1719
01:21:23,446 --> 01:21:26,313
But hopefully,
this pay streak is better
than the last one
1720
01:21:26,349 --> 01:21:30,651
because I need to have, like,
75 ounces at least
1721
01:21:30,686 --> 01:21:34,655
before I am able
to make a serious offer
1722
01:21:34,690 --> 01:21:35,856
on a claim around here.
1723
01:21:35,892 --> 01:21:37,691
Hey, this looks
pretty [bleep] good
1724
01:21:37,727 --> 01:21:38,993
for the time that
we were on the bottom.
1725
01:21:39,028 --> 01:21:40,127
So let's see what she is.
1726
01:21:42,064 --> 01:21:44,531
One, two, three
1727
01:21:44,567 --> 01:21:47,401
four, five, six, seven...
1728
01:21:47,436 --> 01:21:49,303
[emily exclaims]
1729
01:21:49,338 --> 01:21:51,238
eight, nine, ten.
1730
01:21:51,908 --> 01:21:54,508
Hey, eleven.
1731
01:21:54,543 --> 01:21:58,545
Eleven point three eight.
1732
01:21:58,581 --> 01:22:01,115
Hey, that's pretty good.
1733
01:22:02,351 --> 01:22:04,218
[narrator] eleven point
three eight ounces.
1734
01:22:04,253 --> 01:22:07,154
That's worth over $22,000.
1735
01:22:07,189 --> 01:22:09,423
And despite
being temporarily derailed,
1736
01:22:09,458 --> 01:22:11,592
the captain seems
to have the train
1737
01:22:11,627 --> 01:22:13,928
firmly back on the tracks.
1738
01:22:13,963 --> 01:22:15,362
-Nice guys.
-Not bad
1739
01:22:15,398 --> 01:22:16,530
not bad, at all.
1740
01:22:17,133 --> 01:22:18,032
Yeah.
1741
01:22:18,067 --> 01:22:19,400
-I said 8--
-[dog barks]
1742
01:22:19,435 --> 01:22:21,936
-whoa! Naomi, hi
-oh, hi, naomi.
1743
01:22:21,971 --> 01:22:23,737
Hi, are you ready
for some kibble?
1744
01:22:23,773 --> 01:22:26,073
-[man] she wants some gold.
-She wants some gold.
1745
01:22:26,108 --> 01:22:27,241
[man laughs]
1746
01:22:27,276 --> 01:22:28,842
[emily]
are you a gold digger, naomi?
1747
01:22:29,512 --> 01:22:31,145
[dog barks]
1748
01:22:32,782 --> 01:22:35,249
[narrator]
next time on bering sea gold.
1749
01:22:35,284 --> 01:22:37,751
[shawn]
I have a ton of money
wrapped up into this
1750
01:22:37,787 --> 01:22:40,187
and now it's time
to make it all pay.
1751
01:22:40,222 --> 01:22:41,488
I can smell gold.
1752
01:22:42,725 --> 01:22:44,558
If we don't turn
our season around,
we're [bleep].
1753
01:22:44,593 --> 01:22:46,193
One of you losers
get the water.
1754
01:22:46,228 --> 01:22:47,061
I'm going.
1755
01:22:48,564 --> 01:22:49,830
We need another man.
1756
01:22:49,865 --> 01:22:52,166
Do I hear I want
to work for free
1757
01:22:52,201 --> 01:22:53,267
while you learn my boat.
1758
01:22:53,302 --> 01:22:54,735
You've got really
good hearing.
1759
01:22:54,770 --> 01:22:56,036
[snoring]
1760
01:22:56,072 --> 01:22:57,638
steve! Come on, damn it!
1761
01:22:58,541 --> 01:23:00,074
It's beautiful out.
Glassy.
1762
01:23:00,109 --> 01:23:01,942
Great first day to dive.
1763
01:23:07,783 --> 01:23:10,417
Air compressor has shut off,
come on up.
1764
01:23:10,453 --> 01:23:11,318
[man screams]
1765
01:23:12,321 --> 01:23:13,420
[shawn]
we're making gold, buddy.
1766
01:23:13,456 --> 01:23:14,521
[both laughing]
1767
01:23:14,557 --> 01:23:16,657
[man] I'm on top, baby!
Whoo!
1768
01:23:16,692 --> 01:23:18,258
-[emily] oh my god. [bleep]
-[man] yeah!
1769
01:23:18,294 --> 01:23:20,995
It was just like,
"I got you." [laughter]
1770
01:23:21,030 --> 01:23:23,197
it goes like "ahhh".
