[narrator] a monster has returned to the sea.
Long thought dead...
The beast is alive...
And it has an insatiable hunger.
A hunger...
Holy [bleep]!
...For gold.
It lives to excavate.
[man] where are you hiding?
No one can survive its attack.
[woman screams]
we're [bleep].
-[sinister laugh] -[explosion]
[narrator] who will be her next victim?
You can run, but you can't hide.
[screams]
[narrator] it's the myrtle irene.
[shawn] I've stretched myself
pretty thin this season.
We just need to get this thing up and running.
We'll get it running.
Haven't got much more on it.
[narrator] midway through the season,
captain shawn pomrenke
has already reached the breaking point.
[shawn] this one's a little heavier.
I'm [bleep] deep into this thing. We need...
I need to [bleep] pile up...
600 ounces to get my money back.
[man] we can do it.
[shawn] at this point,
we're about halfway through the season.
There's no making up for lost time now.
We need everything to go right.
I owe a million on the tomcod,
$1.5 million on the inland mine...
And the myrtle is supposed to be $350,000,
but I'm in at way more than that right now.
But today's the day,
we're finally going to fire up the myrtle.
I need this to go off without a hitch.
Otherwise, I'm screwed.
How's it going, dave?
How's it going?
Getting it out. Looking good.
-We're getting there. -Huh?
Yeah, we're getting close.
That's just a little bit of wiring
and fire everything up
and cross the fingers,
and hope everything works
the way it's supposed to.
-That's it, huh? -That's the plan.
I'm not leaving until this thing's digging, so.
-Okay. -Let's go.
Checking in.
Goldy's welding the intake for the flurry pump.
Still got to get electrical from the cage here.
We've already completed
most of the big redesign.
We've lowered the wash plant
to get the operator a better view and more control.
Second, we upgraded
the whole water system,
now that we're at a higher pressure,
so we wash the gold out of the dirt better.
What's most important is
we added a second sluice box
to catch even the finest gold.
The sluice box is plumbed up.
Just finishing some spray nozzles.
We are getting close.
We are so close.
We got to get this back-up generator going.
So, we got a little bit electrical to finish up,
a little bit of fine tuning
and then we're ready to go mining.
We're going out today.
-Get out of the way. -[dave] all right.
-[metal clanging] -[shawn yells]
-what the hell was that? -[shawn yells]
[dave] holy [bleep]!
-[shawn grunts] -shawn, are you okay?
-What happened? -[groans]
I fell. [bleep]!
-Is your head okay? -Yeah. My leg.
Holy cow, shawn.
You're going to need a few stitches there, buddy.
-How's everything else? -Ah, it hurts.
-Is your other leg okay? -Yeah.
[man] what did you hit it on, shawn?
Ah! [bleep]!
-Right here, huh? -Yeah.
Looks like you got it right there.
Your head's okay, though?
Yeah, my head's okay.
-Can you get up? -Yeah.
Let's get up.
Anything else hurt?
[shawn speaking]
[dave] can you sit on here?
Be careful.
Here. Sit right there.
[shawn groans]
[bleep]
shawn, I think we should go to the doctor
and get some stitches on there.
-It'll be all right. -Huh?
[shawn] we got to get this...
[dave] no, I need...
I would get it cleaned up anyway.
And I think they're going to put some stitches in there.
Are you okay? Your back hurt?
No, my leg hurts...
And my wrist.
[dave] while shawn was working on the generator up top
and he slipped and he fell into the sluice box.
And he hit the metal there.
Sliced his leg open a little bit
and he's going to go get a couple of stitches.
We need shawn. We can't operate without him.
So, hopefully, he's all right.
That could have been bad.
-Are you sure you got it? -Yeah. [sighs]
[groans]
[bleep]
not really what I need right now.
We're running out of time,
running out of money
and now this is gonna slow me down.
It won't stop me
but it's definitely gonna slow me down.
[groans]
-[bleep] -can you lift it up or anything?
[shawn] yeah, my knees [bleep] hurt.
[engine starts]
we're working on the dredge, we're getting close
and here I go and fall.
It sucks.
[sighs]
probably my least favorite place in the world
to be going right now.
The bering sea's my favorite,
the hospital is my least favorite.
Patient?
Yeah, that'd be me.
[groans]
I'm going to get some stitches, I guess
I don't need this [bleep].
[narrator] 120 miles east...
Far, far from nome.
[chris] good morning.
Ready to [bleep] this [bleep] or what?
Bam! Starts it out just like that.
[narrator] the kellys are looking for the most ambitious
and most expensive adventure in family history
to start paying off.
[kris] we are ready for great day
getting out there killing and mining.
And I really hope to god
we get 20 ounces today
between the both of us.
We put everything we had into this trip to elim.
I know there's gold here,
but so far, the whole thing's been
a giant dumpster fire.
[brad] what's the bottom look like?
[kris] there's no material to work right here.
-Not a solid rock. -Well, that's not good.
[grunts]
I just [bleep] my knee up.
This sucks.
I'm coming up
so, today's plan.
There's technically two claims in the center
I would like to prospect,
but that's like right in the [bleep] middle of town.
We'll see how it goes.
[dave] even though we got the mining rights,
doesn't mean they're gonna let you mine.
So far, this trip sucks.
Iron creek was all solid rock,
no cobble, no gold, no nothing.
And then we check the claim on the outskirts of elim
and we came up empty.
The last place to look is right smack dab in front of town
where everybody can see me.
[brad] you're gonna get in trouble.
It's gonna work out, okay?
The people in rural alaska
are very protective over their land.
They don't want anybody swooping
and taking anything from their communities,
especially gold.
I go to places all the time
where I'm not welcomed,
but, I always tend to win people over
with my personality.
[dave] everybody has said that
you're going to get run out of here.
We're gonna prove them wrong, right?
-Everybody said that? -A lot of people have.
[kris] we're approaching elim right now.
I didn't really want to be here today,
but here we are!
Because I'd rather piss off everybody and get gold
than have everybody love me.
[brad speaking]
see where that big rock is?
The sneak attack is over.
Oh, yeah. I see them all.
That corner down there.
[townsfolk speaking]
[dave] you don't want any attention,
so you park right in town.
That's like really in your face.
Well, that's where the gold is.
Look at the top of that ramp right there, dude.
[kris] well, we're gonna figure out
what's gonna happen real soon.
This is exactly what I wanted to avoid, right here.
Well, it looks like a third of the town has showed up
to check this out.
And I don't really know
if that's a good thing
or a bad thing right now.
I mean, I don't see any guns in anybody's hands.
More people are definitely coming.
[bleep] they can't see nothing like this.
We put a sign up, "drinks: Cocktail hour."
you think we should start this [bleep] dog show?
Well, I don't know what to do.
I didn't want to do this right now.
Might as well get this shock and awe over.
[bleep]
[kris] you turned it on?
Yeah, I turned it on jay.
-[engine starts] -the rip cord just [bleep].
Well, we're done mining then, that's it. [bleep]!
I think the battery's [bleep] dead.
What a [bleep] embarrassment.
We're right in front of the town.
We're [bleep] embarrassing ourselves.
Ryan, [bleep] calm down now.
So, my boat is slowly taking a beating
and it's not working at the moment.
Eddie's fixing the recoil.
But, you know, that's more like a plan b.
Who the [bleep] knows what happened?
You know, when it rains it pours
and I'm [bleep] drowning right now.
And we're right in front of the [bleep] city.
Everybody's laughing their ass off at us.
I spent thousands of dollars...
I better shut the [bleep] up.
Nothing I can do,
and I'm not going to be bummed out.
I'm gonna be...
[eddie] give me a minute here, guys.
I know there's [bleep] gold
-underneath my feet. -Hey!
Don't raise your voice.
We're in front of a town.
Yeah, they might hear you way out here.
-I doubt it though. -No, I don't.
[kris] I can hear them.
I can't hear a word they're saying,
but I can hear mumbling.
Did you break your hand?
[bleep]! Got me good.
All right.
Yeah, keys on.
Go ahead and start this thing.
[engine starts]
[kris] yeah! [laughs]
[brad] say goodbye. Here they go.
Good bye, gentlemen.
Finally, after embarrassing ourselves
right in front of town,
we're gonna hopefully get down there
and find some of the best gold I've ever seen.
And I don't care if they're staring at me.
They can stare at me
while I'm getting gold
and making my fortune all day long.
[townsfolk yelling]
[chris] they're yelling something.
[dave] they're pissed off
'cause they see them drenching now.
[kris] we're gonna make this work today.
Oh, yeah.
-[gunshots] -oh [bleep]!
What was that?
-It sounded like a gunshot. -Yeah.
[gunshot]
they're shooting at us already.
What the [bleep]?
Hey, eddie, you know they're shooting, right?
[eddie over radio] are they really?
[bleep] yeah, they are.
[eddie] they're shooting at us.
Get down!
[gunshot]
hey, eddie,
you know they're shooting at us, right?
[eddie] are they really?
[bleep] yeah, they are.
[narrator] far from nome
and desperate for gold,
the kellys are under the gun.
Get down!
[townsfolk yelling]
I just wanna get the [bleep] out of here.
I don't know why we stopped here to start with.
Hey, eddie, you guys still gonna dredge?
[brad] yeah, he's not gonna shoot you.
He's the one diving.
He's under water how's he gonna get him.
[brad] the update is,
we're here in front of elim where there's gold.
And the local people don't like us here.
They're shooting at us.
And I don't know if that's the way
they welcome people here,
but they took a couple of shots at us already,
so I don't know what's gonna happen.
I'm trying to stay low 'cause I'm a big target.
What the [bleep] is wrong with people today?
[chris] brad!
-Does he? -Yeah.
-[brad] where at? -[chris speaking]
I saw it with my binoculars over there.
One of these guys has an ar right now
pointing at him.
These [bleep] guys are crazy.
If these [bleep] guys don't get the [bleep] out of here right now,
they're gonna get shot at.
[dave] the range of the ar-15 is 300 yards.
We're at 300 feet.
I think it's time to go to.
Brad!
That one guy's got an ar-15.
[kris] what?
One guy's got an ar-15 looking at us.
[chris speaking]
are they shooting or pointing?
'cause that's two different things.
[brad] they're shooting, okay?
Dave, wants to get the [bleep] out of here.
What do you want to do?
Is that what dave said?
It's what he said.
Everybody in nome told him
they'll shoot at you here.
So, what do they do?
Park... 300 feet off the beach,
right in front of the village.
This is [bleep] stupid.
Brad, hook up your jet.
Hook it up.
Okay, whatever. Let's go.
[bleep] go.
Are you kidding me?
Like, seriously, they're shooting at me,
but I've dealt with way worse.
[brad speaking]
[kris yells]
[brad] he's okay. He's okay.
You okay?
I definitely don't want to go,
but it's dave's boat,
dave's rules.
And I don't want to get left behind.
Okay, let's go, chris.
Grab that pontoon up on the deck.
Hang on, hang on, we're almost there.
[kris] after all the blood, sweat and tears,
and all the money I put into this,
I'm leaving with nothing. Nothing!
[brad] we're out of here?
I guess so. [bleep]
running away with our tails between our legs.
Is it the first time I've ever been shot at?
No.
Let's get the [bleep] out of here.
Well, sorry for the excitement.
[dave] well, you wanted to stop here.
We literally take, uh...
All the rest of the claims
were right in front of town, dude.
Yeah, right in front.
There's nothing I could do.
The ar-15 wins in my book.
[kris] okay, well, it wins for today.
I didn't come here for hazardous duty.
[kris] no, I understand dude. I understand.
I'm not trying to get your boat shot up.
Well, we're going home in utter defeat.
I was expecting a civil conversation
where they get into their boat
and they come out and talk to us like normal people.
But they were shooting at us.
Well, I apologize to everybody.
I thought this was going to be a lot easier
and I thought we were going to get big gold.
I'm sorry, everybody.
I know there's [bleep] gold there.
This crap always happens to us,
but I really thought this time would be different.
But it wasn't different.
It's the same crap.
No gold, no money
and I have no idea what to do next.
I know I let everybody down around me.
Well, that was exciting.
I don't want to do it again.
Dredging with the kellys.
Well, you know what? Infamous kellys.
Just like that the millions disappear.
[kris] I say we would have waited
until someone shot me.
[narrator] 120 miles west...
Bit windy, but it's kind of settling out.
So, weather's good.
Gold is good. We're gonna head out.
[narrator] with her three headed dive team
running on all cylinders
emily riedel looks to capitalize
on her claim 14 hot streak.
Daryl's the first shift is the three divers.
So, it's gonna be daryl, bob
and then rick for the next shift.
Weather forecast is good.
Should be a nice, full day
out there on the mining grounds.
It's about half way through the season
and I have a great team
daryl, bob with rick are awesome rockstar divers
and they're making a lot of money
for my boat. It's awesome.
So, I just got to keep those numbers up
and we'll get those 75 ounces
to buy my own claim in no time.
Just waitin' on daryl get here.
I don't know what's taking daryl's so long.
Yeah, I don't know.
We were supposed to leave, like, 10 minutes ago.
So, I don't know where daryl's at.
I'm gonna give him a call.
[phone line ringing]
-daryl. -[daryl over phone] yeah, emily.
[emily] hey, I'm down at the boat. Uh...
[daryl] I'm actually at the airport.
[emily] you're at the airport?
Um, why?
[daryl over phone] I'm just not making enough money.
Well, hold on, hold on.
I mean, when I brought rick on
I thought we were, like,
agreed as a crew that that was the right idea.
We kind of like need three divers.
Like, I don't know why that's a problem.
Like, why are you just like leaving all of a sudden?
Like, this is insane.
Like, you're like, you committed to the season
and with you at the airport,
and now we're losing thousands
and thousands of dollars
on like a perfect weather day.
All right, dude, well, look, this is it for us.
Like you're not setting foot on my boat again.
So, [bleep] you know,
good luck not making gold in arizona.
[daryl talking indistinctly over phone]
[bleep]
daryl's angry about the box split.
He feels like he's not making enough gold.
It's not true, but he is taking off
without much of a word or a warning.
I'm angry that things ended this way with daryl
but I'm not surprised
really that something like this is happening.
Daryll's a great diver,
but he's not a great team player.
And he's really only gonna be a part of an operation
when it's to his utmost advantage to be a part of it.
That's it, like, seven years
and I don't even get an official resignation.
I just got a call from the dude at the airport
saying, "I'm leaving.
Sucks for you, bye."
I mean, I don't understand it.
I'm gonna go talk to rick and bob
and we'll get back out there.
Keep going. It's all you can do.
[narrator] 30 miles north of nome...
Hey, gary, is that the spot?
This is the spot right here. Right here, bro.
All right, I get the...
I get jack going up in there
and we can unload.
[narrator] skipper vernon adkinson's attacking a new front
in his never ending quest for gold.
That's it right here, vernon.
What do you think of this?
[vernon] let's get after it.
56 is the money maker
we know the gold is there,
but today is not the day for dredging offshore.
Strong currents are projected
that will make mining impossible.
We need some more duct tape.
We need more duct tape.
The hose needs duct tape.
You can't live in nome without duct tape.
I've had my eye on clara creek for a while.
We'll see what we come up with.
It might be a good way to spend our time
when we're not dredging off shore.
I've got to keep the gold flowing
because 56 is not going to pay for itself.
The creek hasn't been worked since
way back in the 1900s,
early 1900s.
This will be our back-stop.
When we can't get out on the ocean
we can come here and work.
Hold on, hold on.
-There you go. -There you go.
Just slide, you don't have to go that far.
[vernon] we need to be working every damn day.
Gold's $2,000 an ounce.
Record high.
Anytime we're back in town.
Twiddling our thumbs...
We're losing big money.
Once you go ahead and get suited up,
we'll get this thing cranked
and let it rip
and see if there's anything there.
All right, let's do it.
[vernon] when you're prospecting a creek,
the gear is light, it's easy to move.
We just want to jump in there,
give it a quick suck,
see if there's any gold.
If there's not, then pick up and move
and keep working our way up the creek
until we get into some good gold.
Well, we're all set up here on clara creek.
The creek back in the old days,
it was loaded with gold.
It's a famous creek.
You google "clara creek, nome, alaska"
you can read about this place.
A lot of gold was taken out of here.
But I gotta tell you, they didn't get it all.
[gary] we're moving some dirt off.
These guys are highly motivated.
They're both pros.
Both of them have got just a tremendous
amount of experience on the river.
Gary, he's been dredging in the river since he was 10.
He's 50 now. That's 40 years.
And he's been doing it full time.
And brian, he's been dredging rivers
for 10 years.
He's like a horse in the water.
He's like a young gorilla.
So, between the two of them,
we're looking at 50 years of experience
and I got, like, practically none.
-Hey, gary. -[gary] yeah.
What are you looking at?
-I'm looking at bedrock. -Got bedrock?
Yeah, nice looking bedrock.
A layer about six inches
of good looking stuff on top.
It's probably 100-year-old material right on bedrock.
That's good.
You want to come down in here?
You know what? I'm resisting the temptation.
-I'm tempted. -Should have brought your wetsuit.
Oh, yeah. You start getting gold
you're gonna find my ass right down there
-in that hole. -[gary] all right.
[narrator] in nome harbor...
This is a skill that we really got to practice, raven,
because it's gonna be really important
when we're boarding ships
to know how to swing on the halyard line.
-[laughs] -oh, no!
[narrator] the crew of the black swan
is hoping to get back into the swing of things.
Dude, check this out.
Yes. [laughs]
man, you need to work on that.
[zeke] the last time we went out on the black swan,
it was just a bust.
My back seized up. We had to cut it off.
It was no bueno.
Nothing was working out.
But I feel like my back is a little more limber today.
I need to get under the water
and we need to get some gold fast
and we need to get it now.
I like these things.
You get the aspirin, like, [bleep]
straight into your bloodstream so fast.
You just feel it working immediately.
I was in a lot of pain yesterday.
And when you're in a lot of pain,
it's like everything kind of sucks.
Yesterday, I went down to that gravel.
Those gravel dunes were super deep.
I can't really go back there 'cause it's too deep.
I can't get my hose all the way down.
The hose is overextended.
So, today, what my plan is,
is to go into shallower water
at about 25 to 27 feet,
and then I'm going to walk the boat
along the edge of that cobble field
all the way over to the western edge of the lease...
And assess how good the gold is at that depth.
If there's great gold at that depth
then it'll just be easier for everybody,
'cause diving at super deep depth is just a headache.
Ready to go.
Here we go!
Yeah.
Woo!
[laughs]
the forecast today
is some nasty wind and some nasty currents
out here by 56.
I don't even think vernon's coming out here today.
But I need to make this boat pay for itself.
Otherwise,
I don't know what kind of situation
I'm going to find myself in.
So, we have to throw caution
into the wind here a little
and just try to make it work.
You ready to drop the anchor?
Drop it here!
All right.
Five feet down.
[zeke] all right.
So, I'm going down the rope.
Oh, [bleep].
Whoa.
Yeah, we got some ripping current going on here.
It's moving fast.
Right, I'm on the bottom.
[sam] seeing anything exciting close by?
[zeke] no, I'm just in the middle
of a big ocean of sand.
I'm gonna have to figure out
how to get us moved.
Until I get into some cobble,
I can do some mining
[raven] fair enough, I guess just...
Yeah, keep walking it. Keep us posted.
[zeke] I'm just trying to
cover as much ground as possible
and hopefully find some treasure that looks interesting.
There's a little bit of gravel over here,
but it's just gravel and gravel.
No cobble.
I want there to be a ton of gold here.
I want it to just poke out at me and be like,
"woo-hoo, look what you found."
what's happening right now is mining.
Ah, interesting.
What exactly are you seeing?
What's it look like?
[zeke] there's a definitive layer of cobble
and there's gravel on top of it.
Nice.
Hell yeah, man.
Gold!
Dude, we got to set up a marker buoy.
Stat.
This is what we want right here. [bleep]
dude, we might have a spot.
[chuckles]
things are going good today.
[shawn] oh, that's gonna hurt tomorrow.
Four stitches.
Not too bad.
At least now I can get back to work.
[narrator] shawn pomrenke is sewing up loose ends
in his mad dash to get the myrtle irene
up and running.
It's not gonna stop me.
I ain't got time to rest.
Time to get back to work.
Let me just...
Cute little bracelet off.
Back to work.
[grunts]
I'm in a whole millions.
I got to get the myrtle out as soon as possible.
I'm not gonna let a little fall
and a few stitches stop me.
I'm going to push, get it done, stitches and all.
Ended up with four stitches in there.
Get a staple gun and...
Some bailing wire.
What did they do to your hand?
-Nothing. -You didn't have them look at it.
-[bleep] no. -[laughs]
we're getting close.
Hopefully shawn's got it together and it all works.
That's my only fear.
Well, let's start the small one first.
Make sure it's rotating right,
then we'll shut it down.
And we'll start the big one,
and we'll shut them down.
And then we'll get the water pump primed up.
Get water going.
Looking good.
First thing,
we're gonna test the small shaker.
We had to mov both shakers
not only to improve the view of the operator,
but to accommodate
for both of the sluice boxes.
Hey, dennis.
Turn the air compressor breaker on.
[machine whirring]
I mean, these reconstructions
are massive undertakings
and if they're not done right,
it could cost me millions.
And we'll never get back out on the water
-fire up, baby. -Yeah!
[engine starts]
[both laugh]
when that thing turned over and started
I got goose bumps.
Fired up the small shaker.
Yes, it works perfectly.
One test down, two to go.
Woo! Let's go.
We got one deck running.
We need to get the second deck going,
and hopefully it'll work.
Because we're miners, not electricians.
Now it's time to test the big shaker.
We had to move it down lower
so the operator could see what he's doing.
This one is a little trickier, so fingers crossed.
Bump it.
Yeah.
-[man] let it rip? -Let it rip.
Hold. Shut it down, shut it down.
-Great. -We got ourselves a problem.
[shawn] fired up the second screen deck.
It's not aligned right.
It's rubbing right up against the deck support.
The shorter of it is, it's not gonna work.
This is a colossal screw up.
This could cost me a couple million in the blink of an eye.
If this don't work, we are screwed.
[narrator] two miles east...
[sam] how's it going?
[zeke] I like the crowd that I'm looking at.
And I can see a gold in it.
Hell yeah, man.
The black swan may finally be turning
into a golden goose.
[zeke] dude!
That's where the gold is.
The rainbow. [laughs]
I need to just, like, go to grind town for a while.
Back to the grind.
We're mining.
Finally. [laughs]
I'm glad.
I think we're going to get a really good clean up.
It's how it works was down there.
This is the part where it gets boring.
We're just sit here all day.
[laughs]
hopefully...
Hopefully we just get it and it's chill.
[narrator] with a little time on their hands...
It's time to get crafty.
So, let's get totally stoked...
[laughs]
...For another installment
of crafting with raven.
So, we're hanging out
in the cockpit all the time
with some delicious bevvies
and we don't have a cup holder out there.
And that has got to change.
So, I found this janky, old light cover
and all this extension cord that got pulled off.
And I'm thinking...
It might be just the ticket.
We want to chill out here.
We got to be able to kick back,
chillin' in the cockpit,
watch big bubbles floating around,
having some bevvies.
And if my calculations are correct...
Choice.
Held it squarely.
Definitely picking up a little bit.
That's why we need a [bleep] cup holder.
Industrial chic.
All right.
Choice.
There's a little bit of a south wind coming in
and the swell's picking up a little bit.
But... We're on a good gold spot,
so I don't really want to worry too much about it
until it's a thing.
But I'm going to keep my eye on it.
Huh?
You're looking at that swell, aren't you?
Yeah, I'm dazed as hell thinking about--
[zeke over radio] is it windy up there?
Yeah, it's definitely kicking up a bit.
The south wind's coming in a little bit stronger.
We got a little bit of roller action happening up here.
Everything's going great down here,
except the hose is turning around quite a lot.
So, I assume the weather's probably building.
I think I'm going to maybe dredge for another hour,
and we'll just watch this weather.
If the weather's getting a lot worse,
then maybe we'll have to reassess.
Yeah, I think that's a good call.
If it picks up anymore,
I might start to get uncomfortable.
[zeke] okay.
[narrator] back in nome...
[seagulls squawking]
[kris] halfway through the season,
my elim plans kind of crashed and burned on me.
Really, we put everything we had into this.
I don't know what we're gonna do.
You know, I had one chance to make this work,
and I [bleep] up
kris kelly is a man with...
Well, nothing
whose dream of a million dollar season
has hit the end of the road.
[kris] I know there's a [bleep] load of gold there.
I know there is.
We just didn't get the right chance to find it.
I know that if we went back there, we would kill it.
But I can't do it when I have people
shooting at me from the shore.
They had no reason to [bleep] shoot at me like that.
I should have just stuck with the reaper, you know?
I get good gold. Good enough gold.
I get good enough gold,
life is actually simpler.
We can go out here
and still make our a little bit of money,
but we're never gonna make it big.
But making a little bit
was better than what I did.
'cause all I did was flush my fortune down the tubes
on a dumb [bleep] ass idea.
This whole season has been a stretch.
It's been stressful.
Everybody's [bleep] blaming me for everything.
Everything went to [bleep].
We didn't get any gold at all.
I couldn't make it work.
I don't know what to do anymore, man.
No matter what.
We're gonna keep going with this.
No matter what, I'm not gonna quit.
You know, I know a lot of really famous miners
that really kill it in the game.
They failed a thousand times
to make it where they're at.
You know, you only need one good plan
to hit one time, you know?
But you're gonna fail a bunch of times
and you can't give up.
When you fail this fast, you can't give up.
You gotta keep going.
You gotta pack up what you have.
You got to figure out what worked and what didn't.
And you just have to keep pressing forward.
[bleep]!
I know lots of guys that have gone bankrupt
ten times over in mining.
You know, so, sometimes, sure, it's depressing
and sure it looks bad,
but we just keep getting up,
keep getting up and making it work.
I'm not giving up.
I just need gold.
[narrator] thirty miles out of town...
He's on it.
He's got his nostrils wide open,
he can smell that gold.
...Vernon adkinson's
looking for a pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow.
Let's go, let's go!
[vernon] river dreading takes a while.
There's not really much for me to do
except sit here and look intelligent.
I mean, it's not really going to do me any good
and say, "six inches to the right,"
or, "seven inches to the left," or whatever.
But I can definitely make myself busy.
That's a cheaters way of starting a fire.
Redneck microwave.
We got some fresh moose.
[vernon] I bet it's not even warm on the inside.
Really?
You got toasted a little bit, you were right.
[laughs]
[vernon] but bet it's good.
They don't make them like this in the restaurants.
-This is roughing it, boys. -[men] yeah.
It's getting gold the hard way.
Moose meat over an open fire.
One of life's greatest pleasure.
But so are the big pile of gold
out of a one-foot deep river.
Hopefully, that's what we're gonna find today.
Hey, brian,
I know you're having fun,
but let's shut it down
-and take a look at the box... -[brian] all right.
...And see if this is worth our time or not.
Yeah, I mean, I'm seeing some.
It's not fantastic but it's gold.
Let's go ahead and pull that chest back.
All right.
Pan it out and see if it's clear.
-You want the honors? -Yes.
Based on what I'm seeing...
Yeah, I think we need to move.
You know, we can make gas money
and beer money here but...
We looking for a little bit better than this.
There is gold in clara creek,
there's no doubt about that.
But we're looking for the good stuff
and I think it's time to pull up
and go on further up the creek.
I think the old timers probably got into this.
But the further up we go,
the less likely they've been there,
especially not with equipment.
We'll call it a day.
We'll get out here bright and early
go on up the creek
and give it another shot.
Okay guys, we can get back to town.
-Beer and pizza? -[brian] all right.
Oh, nice.
[vernon] all right.
[narrator] thirty miles south...
[emily] how do you feel about
that buoy hanging off the nozzle?
You've worked with one like that before?
Absolutely.
[narrator] after the sudden jolt
of losing all-star daryl galipeau
emily riedel is forging ahead.
We're gonna get out there.
I'm sad and disappointed that daryl left.
He has been a great asset over the years
but, you know, rick's available.
Rick is always available and up for a dive.
So, the goal remains the same.
The gold is still there
and you need to go suck it up.
Looks like a little dolphin.
All right. Be safe. Don't push it.
[ricky over radio] yep, we're gonna reach the gold today.
How's it going, rick?
[ricky over radio] well...
...Right where we are,
it's been worked pretty good.
[emily] all this was worked.
This is an edge
and somebody had already worked.
That's what made me
kind of want to look at it.
[ricky] that's not the best news.
[emily] holy crap.
[ricky] you can tell the stuff's been worked...
By the top of these rocks.
All these particles have pushed off
so they've been through a plant.
Great.
Today kind of sucks.
We were in a great pay streak,
and we get to our spot
and we're not seeing a lot of gold.
It's just not great.
When it rains, it storms out here.
[grunts]
oh, oh.
[emily] yeah.
And we got a clog. You want to check?
I'm gonna isle her down.
[over radio] got to bring it up.
[emily] yeah.
Yeah, you got a rock in the end of the nozzle.
[ricky] I see it right here, em.
It's really [bleep] annoying.
This shouldn't be happening.
It's a huge waste of time and money.
Kind of hacks me off.
Rick, [bleep] that's how you get tired.
Just, just...
Just chill! Just chill!
It's one of those days.
Daryl quits,
pay streak's drying up, hammer breaks
and the rock damn us from hell.
Typical gold mining season,
and that it is just a constant roller coaster.
But we're gonna turn this around, we've got to.
Sounds like we got to pick up the anchor...
-Here and move. -Mm-hm.
Yep.
-[beeping] -[emily] something's steaming.
Hold on, I think it's on fire.
-[beeping continues] -[rick] whoa, whoa...
Yep, it's on fire.
Not one [bleep].
[emily] let's spray some gas on it.
[ricky laughs]
son of the bitch.
[emily] oh, my god.
You find a piece of gold down there?
[zeke speaking over radio]
[raven] hell yeah, man.
[narrator] despite building currents,
zeke tenhoff has been grinding away
on his first real pay streak of the season.
We got big ass waves.
Look at how huge those waves are.
I mean, it doesn't look like much from up here,
but if you're down there, dude,
it's like, whoa.
Hey, raven, these rollers are getting
a little bit too consistent
and I'm worried about the sluice box
hitting the side of the boat.
I think we should tell zeke
that we should pull, dude.
Look at this.
Woo!
Damn.
These swells are quickly turning into waves.
It's getting pretty consistent
and pretty [bleep] greedy.
[zeke speaking]
yeah, I think if you want to get headed,
like, they're getting dangerously close to the sluice box.
I think it might have to be time.
They're, like, pulling the hose up and all that.
[zeke speaking]
[raven] yeah, I'll reel you up.
He's coming up.
He doesn't want to.
There's a lot of greasy gold down there...
Which is great.
I mean, we're at the spot
you know, we can keep hitting in,
but these swells are quickly becoming waves.
[zeke speaking]
[sam] hell yeah, man.
[zeke] we got us some super good ripping gold today,
but the currents picked up enough
that we couldn't hold the boat in position.
We gotta go home.
I mean, I knew this was a risk
for the productivity of today
but all in all, I would say
that today has been a success.
I haven't done a clean up with this bot yet,
so I don't know how it's gonna work.
So, I'm gonna clean it out
first thing tomorrow.
There's that little chunker...
Little piece of gold.
There's a bunch of those down there. [chuckles]
so, I wanted... My goal is to hold on
to as much gold as I can
and I want to learn how to make
little pentagrams out of it.
[laughs]
I'm gonna make as many pentagrams as I can.
I think I would probably be able to sell
those pentagrams for, like, a lot of money.
'cause what you want to do is,
you want to be able to sell jewelry to rappers, I think.
I think that's where the real money is.
People love pentagrams.
Hold!
Shut it down, shut it down.
[narrator] desperate to get
the myrtle irene mining,
things are looking a bit shaky for mr. Gold.
If you look right here, we got a gap
in between our crown and our deck...
And we need to get that down...
To where it's gonna not bounce and flock around.
I made this deal.
I took these chances.
I put myself into this mess,
so I'm gonna do it myself.
I gotta weld this punch plate.
Hope to hell it holds,
so we can fire this beast up
and get it out on the water.
If not, I can be facing financial ruin.
No pressure.
It's all welded up.
We're going to give it another shot.
Hopefully, it doesn't sound
as bad as it did the last time.
Go for it.
Woo, shake it, baby.
Looks like it's supposed to.
Yeah.
Nice job.
[laughs] woo!
Yeah!
We got bolt shakers clicking just right.
Now it's the moment of truth.
The second sluice box.
We built this thing from scratch.
It's massive.
This is how we plan on catching way more gold.
The whole plan relies on it.
My whole investment relies on it.
This is the biggest load on the whole system.
Biggest concerns.
If this thing doesn't work, nothing works.
[dave speaking]
that's it.
Let's see what it does.
[engine starts]
[all cheering]
[laughing, cheering]
look at that.
[shawn] that's perfect.
[dave] that works awesome, huh?
[both laugh]
woo!
[shawn] yeah, I like the way that's working.
[dave] this thing's gonna kick ass.
Every penny we spent was worth it.
-Yeah. -We're gonna knock it dead.
[laughs]
we're gonna make [bleep] money.
[dave] good job.
It's awesome.
Yeah, it all works perfect.
Let's get out of here.
-We'll get her tomorrow, huh? -Yeah.
I want to go out there and just dig.
[sci-fi music playing]
I am the beacon.
Aliens come forth,
harvest our gold,
give us warp drive...
And then food. You gotta...
How do you do that food thing
like on the enterprise...
[imitates buzzing] hey, piña colada.
Yeah, I want one of those, too.
And I know you guys got it.
Welcome to steve's weird,
wild, wonderful world
in nome, alaska.
We're at anvil rock here.
Anvil rock.
Site of the destroyed gold beacon
that the aliens sent here
two millennia ago.
Aliens are the worst claim jumpers
in this side of the galaxy.
As you might know,
the aliens use gold for warp drive.
They put a beacon here
two millennia ago
to tell everybody
within two lightyears of here,
as they travel pass,
if they need some gas,
come to nome, alaska.
Next stop on steve's alien tour...
All of that comes to a conclusion right here
at the human "us government" response
to the alien thievery.
These towers were built by the us government
in anti-alien technology.
And they were four of them
until the aliens found out about it
and wrecked two.
Aliens took it out.
They don't want to be detected,
and we got our eyes on you.
Take that aliens!
Our next stop...
[exhales]
finally found
the wreck of the alien spacecraft.
I think I can get in here a little closer for you.
You see, you've got warp cores.
They were breached
and blew out their lids.
Those are the warp drive rods
they feed the gold into.
But aliens that crashed here,
first, they had a few drinks at breakers...
[alien] two pinacolatos, please.
[people screaming]
...And then they went up
and signaled their buddies
to come get them, some sort of taxi service.
[alien] are there movies on this flight?
[narrator] now on bering sea gold...
[alien laughs]
that concludes our tour of aliens,
gold, warp drive.
Tune in next time when we explore other places
in weird, wild, wonderful nome, alaska.
Was that recording the whole time?
[kris] I'm sorry. I'm [bleep] up.
And in the end, we got screwed over for it.
I just want to get my [bleep] off of this boat
and go do something and get real gold.
Because if we don't figure out a plan,
we're gonna be [bleep] this season.
We're already [bleep] this season.
[narrator] kris kelly picks up the sad remains
of his busted million dollars dream.
We gotta break everything down,
take it off piece by piece,
you know, 'cause all of this stuff
is too heavy to take off in one piece.
So, we're gonna break down our entire operation.
And the way it looks right now,
we're [bleep].
It's been a [bleep] year so far.
And I lost my [bleep] knife!
That's it!
[bleep]
it's been, like, literally one [bleep] problem after another problem
after another problem.
Oh, no, it's in my pocket.
I'm just a whining bitch.
I got too many things going on in my mind.
So right now,
the real problem is...
Uh...
We don't have a plan to get gold anymore.
You know, our plan for getting gold...
[bleep]
I don't know what the [bleep] we're going to do
to fix everything.
Hey, dopey.
-Come here, I want to talk to you. -Okay.
[dave] now you're in trouble.
[kris] I'm not in trouble. I haven't done anything today yet.
I have no idea
what dave's going to get on my case about now
but I have nothing to lose at this point.
We have no money, no gold, no future.
He can't demand anything more from me.
I've been beaten down and I'm broke.
-So what's going on? -What are you going to do?
[kris] uh, I don't know what I'm going to do.
We have no plan right now to get gold.
I put all my eggs in one basket,
and it turned in to be a [bleep] show.
I just-- if we would have went down there
and found some gold
everything would have been worth it.
You know, but we just--
get a 55 grain slug in your back.
But that would have been worth it.
Yeah, well, you know, I'm real skinny
and I'm pretty sure bullets dodge me real easy.
[laughs]
what's your plan?
Well, I say maybe I got a solution for both of us.
I've been trying to put my dredge back on
but I think I don't have a crew for it
and I'm out of time.
So maybe we take your dredge down.
You guys, dive.
Prospect by claims a cripple.
Do you think we're gonna get gold though?
Dude, there's huge nuggets down there.
[kris] dave is one of the lucky people
that came at the right time in the right place
and that's all it is. It's just luck.
You know, he's irish.
So he showed up to nome before anybody was here.
He had the money and the equipment
to stake all these claims.
So right now, dave mccully's got a claim in a boat
but he doesn't have another crew.
So it's my only opportunity
to make some gold and turn things around this season.
So what kind of a gold split do you want to do?
You know, I know it's your claims,
your boat, your equipment, your, your, your and your.
But what kind of crumbs are you going to kick me?
I was thinking, I give you 30 percent.
Can you do a little bit better on that?
No.
I'm going to have to talk about it
with my dad and brother
just because I'm not a [bleep]
and they like to be kept in the loop.
But between you and I, I think we're doing it
'cause we literally have not one [bleep] option right now.
I'm going to go talk to my dad and brother
and I'll talk to you later.
-There you go. -Okay.
-Thank you. -Be in touch.
Box split is terrible. 70-30.
It's like, "damn, I know hookers that get paid better"
but, uh, we're still...
Right now, some money is better than no money
and I know dave will negotiate a little bit better.
Don't worry about that.
I just needed a number, a figure to get started with
and that's like a ground starting point.
So now we can start to negotiate
and make that number come up.
But we're doing this.
We have no other options.
So we're doing this.
That turned out to be better than I thought it was going to be.
[bleep]
no, no, no. We're not done with it.
Let's just go and I'll tell you the story.
[man] what's the story now?
[kris] it's a long, complicated story, okay?
What [bleep] job you bring us down this time?
[kris] let's just concentrate on the good.
[narrator] two miles east.
[emily] getting to it.
Hopefully, we'll find gold in this spot.
Man knows where the gold is,
man's going to dive on it.
[narrator] her lead diver took a dive
and her pay streak dried up.
But emily riedel is still in the fight for gold.
[emily] I'm excited to get on that ground
and see if there's anything exceptional.
After so many years of doing this,
the problems are repetitive.
You know, the bering sea gets mad,
your equipment gets mad.
Everything's breaking. People are breaking.
I mean, it's defeat, you know,
and you just kind of have to let it steamroll you
for a while, and then you fight back.
All right, let's talk about game plan.
I figured we could do some live boating.
The idea for live boating is that you can just cover
as much ground as possible when you're prospecting.
I need to make the gold happen.
And the best way I know how to do this
is live boating.
With live boating, we're not setting anchor,
the gears down, the divers down,
and the diver is out in front of the boat, poking holes
and it's just kind of rapid fire prospecting.
Often we find gold pretty quickly.
There's a lot of things that can go terribly wrong
in a live boating situation.
That's why we're doing, like, a full house
is because somebody needs to be on the cons,
somebody needs to be on the outboard
and somebody needs to be on the umbilical.
So it's a very stressful situation.
[man] how about you? You stoked?
I'm stoked about this weather.
[emily] live boating is a stressful event.
You have a live vessel with running outboard motors,
currents, hoses, lines, tangles,
all sorts of potential calamity.
So it requires all hands on deck.
So I brought our tender larissa,
and she's going to give an extra hand.
We're on a nice sand edge that we want to check out
and then we're going to start live boating from there.
The biggest thing all the time when we're live boating
is an airline getting tangled up in something.
That is always the concern
because, you know, air is like sex.
You don't miss it till you're not getting any.
Larissa, you're on the umbilical.
Try to keep your hand on it.
And then every once in a while,
kinda check back with us,
so we can kind of check out bob's position
-to point out where he's at. -Okay.
[man] he's just going to cruise around, look for unworked ground.
Ground that looks potentially good.
He knows what he's doing, so I feel confident.
Hey man, go with god.
[laughs] assume he can find me here.
Yeah, she's backing up as we're talking.
I have to do some maneuvering here.
I think I got it.
Yeah, you're about one o'clock right now.
Set.
[man] we're in neutral.
-Where's he at? -12 o'clock.
Okay.
Is he good? Okay.
Bob's just down there
putting down the cut.
A convenient thing is that we're facing north
and that's where the wind is supposed to be coming from.
[bob yells] oh, my god!
There's a whole bunch of gold right here.
[emily] oh, nice!
Let's just get the anchor set as quickly as possible.
This is what I'm talking about.
After all that [bleep].
Darryl leaving and bad gold.
This is exactly what we need.
We need to just spend hours
putting ounces in the sluice box.
So it's awesome.
And we'll set up here
and we'll see what it turns into.
Whoo! We're on it, baby!
[exclaims]
[larissa exclaims]
[emily] yeah, all right.
[thrilling music playing]
[birds screeching]
here we go, dave.
Okay, I've been waiting all week for this, buddy.
Let's do it.
[narrator] the day has finally come
for the new and improved myrtle irene to be...
[dramatic music plays]
...Unleashed on the bering sea.
[shawn] you guys ready?
[dave] let's do it!
Go get some gold!
Let's do it.
[dave] a lot of hard work.
Let's pick up the spot to go.
-Let's go, let's go! -[dave] all right.
[shawn] everything seems to be working perfectly
but you never know until you put the bucket down
and put some dirt through the box.
I'm going to take it to a cobble field close to town
to make sure everything's working perfectly
before I take it to tomcod.
I don't want to spend too much time on field,
finding out there's a bunch of problems.
Now it's time to see what this bad girl can do.
Okay, you can go ahead and pull us around.
[dramatic music playing]
oh, yeah.
[dave] we're doing it.
Tell you what, it feels good.
[radio] myrtle irene
departing nome harbor.
There you go. Straighten her out, eh.
Slow and steady.
[man over radio] all right, shawn, I'm neutral.
All right, I got her.
I can't believe we're doing it, shawn.
About time.
We're [bleep] doing it.
[man over radio] well, this is pretty decent out here.
There's, like, some sand and cobble.
It doesn't look like it's been just destroyed, like, right behind me.
[shawn] yeah, I'm gonna swing us around
and then we'll back in there.
[man over radio] copy that.
[shawn] this is a good spot to test out the myrtle irene.
Lots of cobble, lots of heavy material.
If she can handle this, I know I built her right.
And we're in business.
[mechanical whirring]
here we go. Spuns are going down.
We'll fire everything up,
get water around, and get the plants fired up.
Start throwing some dirt...
Let's do it. I've been waiting all year for this.
Let's do it, huh?
Let's do it.
Nervous.
All this work and all this money
coming down to this moment right now.
[engine starts]
time to do the first bucket.
Be interesting to see how it washes.
[engine whirring]
[man] this is what it all comes down to, right here.
Is it gonna work as planned?
Hope so.
Here we go.
[rumbling]
look at that blasted [bleep] area.
Does it pump the gravel?
It's pumping gravel.
[bleep]
seems like everything's working.
I'm going to go check things out.
Let cody throw some buckets in and if I'm happy,
we're going to head down to the tomcod,
go make some serious coins.
[dramatic music playing]
[dave] it's working perfect.
Just like I planned it.
Hey, what do you want to do?
Everything's working.
Let's go make some gold down that tomcod.
-Let's do it, man. -[laughs]
I can't believe that is working.
[shawn laughing] we're gonna kill it.
It's pretty amazing.
All coming together.
Everything works just the way it's supposed to.
Now, I'm going to go do what I do best.
I'm gonna pile up some gold.
Here we go.
No time like the present.
Hello and welcome to another episode
of kris kelly's secret guide to successful mining.
Today, I'm going to tell you about gold.
What the [bleep].
There's nothing to tell about gold.
[cheerful music playing]
gold's a rock.
It's an element, and it's worth something.
'cause you know what? Way back in the day,
some [bleep] saw it in the ground
and saw that it was shiny.
And they figured out if they put it together
they can make sculptures of it.
Gold is literally found everywhere
in the [bleep] world almost.
What's the atomic weight of gold?
I don't know the atomic weight of gold.
Is this science class or is it how to find gold?
Because if you want to find gold on a periodic table,
go talk to somebody else.
But if you want to find gold in the ground,
you come on and see me.
You know that's all--
what class do you want?
Bill nye, the science guy
or kris kelly's secret guide to successful mining.
No, you don't!
You do not need to know the atomic weight of gold to find it.
I bet these [bleep] gold miners back in the turn of the century,
they were not asking themselves,
"hey what's the atomic weight of gold?"
because they didn't give a [bleep].
They worried about scurvy, getting shot
and dying of poorness.
It's been another episode
of kris kelly's secret guide to successful mining.
If you want to know more, go to your local library
or maybe read a [bleep] book.
[whistles]
this sucks.
This better not make it on the show.
I don't think we passed a car between here and nome.
About 30 miles.
Passed about a dozen musk ox, but no cars.
More musk ox than people.
That's all right with me.
[narrator] after yesterday's lackluster haul,
vernon's team has moved up the river,
hoping to up the gold tally.
[whirring]
[vernon] all this gold has had about 20 million years
to make its way down to bedrock.
But once they get the bedrock, it can't go any deeper.
But since it's the heaviest element,
it's always working its way down.
That's what we're gonna be looking for here.
There's gold in clara creek.
I suspected it, and sure enough, proved it yesterday.
But we're not looking for beer money.
We're looking for the good stuff.
That's why we moved up stream.
I don't think this ground
has been worked as hard as down below.
[drilling]
hey, brian.
[brian] yeah?
Let's take a look at that dredge mat too,
see if we're gettin' anything.
All right.
I saw a nice little bit go up.
-Oh, really? -Yeah, yeah.
Let's take a look at our dredge mat
and if we've got some good gold in there,
we'll sift for a while.
We'll see what happens here.
It looks like a lot in here, but...
Yeah.
We're getting gold fever, that's what we're getting.
Look at that line of gold right there.
Nice little piece.
This is a lil' piece of gold there, right there.
[brian] we were in there, what, a half an hour or 20 minutes?
[man] yeah.
So we're only going to do this top little section of the box here.
And there's still gonna be gold in here
but this will give us a good idea of what the creek has to offer.
See what you got.
It's like a half an hour.
It's a pretty [bleep] damn good gold there.
That's what that is.
Damn, I mean, that's pretty impressive.
From that lil' hole... [indistinct]
I mean, that's not bad for a rainy day.
[vernon] we found something good.
This will be our own personal little piggy bank.
Anytime we can't dread off shore,
we can come up here
and we can get into some serious gold.
This summer just keeps getting better.
I'm actually kind of excited about this.
I haven't been excited in quite a while now.
Nice little crispy one.
It's right off the cobble mat.
Lookin' better all the time.
[narrator] 25 miles southeast.
[zeke] if it bothers you guys,
or if you guys get contact high, I can put it out.
[giggles]
[coughs, laughs] yeah.
[narrator] zeke, and the crew of the black swan
are hoping their first way out
is as 'high' as can be.
Because to be 'blunt',
they need to start 'rolling' some gold.
Honestly, at this point,
I'm just happy we have a clean up at this point at all
to spend a lot of research and development.
It took months and months of working on projects
and getting things to work right to get to the point
where it works well enough to do this.
And so it's, like, by any measurement,
this is awesome.
And we didn't need to repeat this over and over.
I know that in order to break even
with the money that I put into all the gear
to put the sailboat dredge together.
I mean, I got to come up with somewhere
around 50 ounces to break even with that.
So I'm hoping that I can really start chipping away
on paying back the money I put into this
and breaking even this fall, I really do.
See how it weighs up.
So...
Hopefully we have $2,000 an ounce.
It doesn't have to add up to much to keep it going.
Yeah.
We're 0.87 ounces for this one.
So that's like $1,500.
Still a lot of money.
Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was nome.
I mean, this isn't like a huge clean up
by any stretch of the imagination
but we were only out there for a couple of hours
and we still brought some good gold in
before we got blown off.
If we get full days in on that spot,
we're going to have a killer summer.
Definitely proves to me that the systems work well enough
that we can shift into just production mode
and do a bunch of dredging.
And I think there's probably a lot of gold left
where we left that buoy.
And it'll add up fast if we just grind on it
and try to get a bunch of hours in
we got to get smelter.
[man] smelt these into jewelry.
[zeke] mm-hmm.
[narrator] five miles west.
[emily] if anyone wants to find a fortune in gold,
they just have to steal my gps.
Holy [bleep]
there's so much gold.
[narrator] emily riedel's ready to see
just how hot their new hotspot really is.
[emily] this looks great.
[man] we got on some cobble and it didn't look bad.
Kind of interesting.
[emily] I don't know what it is about me and gold.
I'm just like enraptured by it.
Anyway, it's like I've fallen in love all over again.
We were down for a bit for sure.
But hopefully, this pay streak is better than the last one
because I need to have, like, 75 ounces at least
before I am able to make a serious offer
on a claim around here.
Hey, this looks pretty [bleep] good
for the time that we were on the bottom.
So let's see what she is.
One, two, three
four, five, six, seven...
[emily exclaims]
eight, nine, ten.
Hey, eleven.
Eleven point three eight.
Hey, that's pretty good.
[narrator] eleven point three eight ounces.
That's worth over $22,000.
And despite being temporarily derailed,
the captain seems to have the train
firmly back on the tracks.
-Nice guys. -Not bad
not bad, at all.
Yeah.
-I said 8-- -[dog barks]
-whoa! Naomi, hi -oh, hi, naomi.
Hi, are you ready for some kibble?
-[man] she wants some gold. -She wants some gold.
[man laughs]
[emily] are you a gold digger, naomi?
[dog barks]
[narrator] next time on bering sea gold.
[shawn] I have a ton of money wrapped up into this
and now it's time to make it all pay.
I can smell gold.
If we don't turn our season around, we're [bleep].
One of you losers get the water.
I'm going.
We need another man.
Do I hear I want to work for free
while you learn my boat.
You've got really good hearing.
[snoring]
steve! Come on, damn it!
It's beautiful out. Glassy.
Great first day to dive.
Air compressor has shut off, come on up.
[man screams]
[shawn] we're making gold, buddy.
[both laughing]
[man] I'm on top, baby! Whoo!
-[emily] oh my god. [bleep] -[man] yeah!
It was just like, "I got you." [laughter]
it goes like "ahhh".
