GOOD.

857
00:39:36,655 --> 00:39:38,068
Narrator: TO BREAK EVEN,

858
00:39:38,103 --> 00:39:42,413
PARKER NEEDS
AT LEAST 10 OUNCES OF GOLD.

859
00:39:42,448 --> 00:39:44,275
Parker: ALRIGHT.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT.

860
00:39:46,551 --> 00:39:49,448
Fred: 2.1.

861
00:39:49,482 --> 00:39:51,965
-2.4 OUNCES.
-OH, YEAH.

862
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,793
Narrator:
WORTH $3,600 U.S.

863
00:39:55,827 --> 00:39:56,931
THAT'S NOT BAD.

864
00:39:56,965 --> 00:39:59,482
THAT'S 85 BUCKS A YARD,

865
00:39:59,517 --> 00:40:02,000
I MEAN, IN THE YUKON,
WE'RE MINING 20.

866
00:40:02,034 --> 00:40:03,206
-NICE.
-WOW.

867
00:40:03,241 --> 00:40:05,172
THAT'S REALLY GOOD GROUND.

868
00:40:07,965 --> 00:40:11,379
Narrator: THE GROUND HERE IS
MORE THAN THREE TIMES RICHER

869
00:40:11,413 --> 00:40:13,896
THAN PARKER MINES IN THE YUKON,

870
00:40:13,931 --> 00:40:17,551
SO DESPITE NOT BREAKING EVEN
ON HIS PROSPECTING COSTS,

871
00:40:17,586 --> 00:40:20,931
THERE IS CLEARLY
A BIG OPPORTUNITY.

872
00:40:20,965 --> 00:40:23,655
Parker:
I AM GENUINELY INTERESTED

873
00:40:23,689 --> 00:40:24,724
IN WHAT
YOU HAVE GOING ON HERE.

874
00:40:26,689 --> 00:40:28,689
YEAH, THANKS, MUZ.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE HELP.

875
00:40:28,724 --> 00:40:30,344
-THANK YOU.
-THANK YOU, MUZ.

876
00:40:33,448 --> 00:40:35,655
Parker: YEAH, I MEAN,
OVERALL, GOOD RESULT.

877
00:40:35,689 --> 00:40:38,586
THE BEST GROUND WE'VE FOUND
ON THIS WHOLE TRIP.

878
00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:42,241
THE FACT THAT WE TESTED
ALL THAT GROUND AND THE RESULTS

879
00:40:42,275 --> 00:40:44,896
WERE SO GOOD, YEAH,
IT'S JUST THE BIGGEST RELIEF.

880
00:40:44,931 --> 00:40:47,310
YEAH, WE'VE PROVEN
THAT THERE'S GOLD HERE.

881
00:40:47,344 --> 00:40:50,413
Parker: BUT TYLER HAS STILL GOT
A COUPLE OTHER PLACES LINED UP

882
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:53,448
FOR US TO GO TO, AND WE'RE GOING
TO CONTINUE ON OUR TRIP.

883
00:40:55,517 --> 00:40:57,137
WHOA!

884
00:41:00,724 --> 00:41:02,482
MISSION SUCCESSFUL.

885
00:41:04,896 --> 00:41:06,206
Narrator: NEXT TIME...

886
00:41:06,241 --> 00:41:07,379
FRED, LOOK OUT!

887
00:41:07,413 --> 00:41:08,655
...THE PRESSURE MOUNTS...

888
00:41:08,689 --> 00:41:10,206
Tyler: PRESSURE!
PRESSURE! PRESSURE!

889
00:41:10,241 --> 00:41:11,482
GIVE IT A [BLEEP]
MINUTE, FRED.

890
00:41:11,517 --> 00:41:13,034
THIS IS ON ME.

891
00:41:13,068 --> 00:41:16,206
Narrator: ...AS PARKER
BREAKS NEW GROUND...

892
00:41:16,241 --> 00:41:18,689
SMELL IT?
THAT'S THE SMELL OF MONEY.

893
00:41:18,724 --> 00:41:20,724
MAN, I WISH I COULD
HAVE SOME OF THAT.

894
00:41:20,758 --> 00:41:22,965
...PROSPECTING
A HARD ROCK MINE.

895
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,482
HOW DEEP ARE WE RIGHT NOW?

896
00:41:24,517 --> 00:41:25,793
Man: 40 METERS.

897
00:41:25,827 --> 00:41:27,448
Danny: THAT COULD BLOW
YOUR HAND OFF.

898
00:41:27,482 --> 00:41:29,448
THAT WOULD KILL YOU.THAT WOULD KILL YOU?

899
00:41:29,482 --> 00:41:30,931
Man #2:
FIRE IN THE HOLE!

900
00:41:32,827 --> 00:41:33,965
OOH, BOY.
[BLEEP]
