You know, they pushed us out of Virginia.
You know, they burned down our stash house.
But tonight is payback.
This time
on the season finale of "Moonshiners."
You got my money?
- Ain't no money, boss. - Nah, you gonna pay me, buddy.
One way or the other.
Whoo, we got us a hunk now!
That's like three or four pounds right there.
Ki-yah!
Mark and Huck might have thought they got the best of us
by dumping roadkill in our last batch of mash.
But guess what?
Mark Rogers gonna pay for what he did.
Why are you running hanging posters
of me and Jerry all over town?
We got a problem with our old buddy again,
the thief fake liquor seller.
So what's that got to do with me?
We got a plan to get this thief busted.
The hell are you guys doing here?
You're fixing to get your [bleep] head busted.
This is how we make the moonshine.
Tim, I just can't believe that we're going out here to deal
with the same scumbags that burned down 1,000 gallons of
shine at our stash house.
I know it don't look right, but right now, we're getting
the shine made that we need.
In Culpeper County, Virginia, after Tim coerced
a hostile group of shiners to produce a large quantity of
moonshine he can sell tariff-free to Canada,
his plot to get even with his backwoods rivals
seems to be bearing fruit.
Now, here we are, Howard.
So these are the gentlemen that robbed us
and burned us down? - Yeah-huh.
You know, we're picking up these buckets right now.
You know, these are the guys that, you know, was trying to
run us out of the country.
But right now, we got them working for us.
You know, we bringing them the grain.
We bringing them the sugar.
They making the moonshine for us.
- You ready to load it up? - Yeah.
It's the final run. You got the money?
We're trying to get this shine to the buyer,
and the buyer gonna pay me, and then I pay y'all.
Bring us the money, we good.
If not, it ain't gonna be pretty.
Just letting you know.
Damn right. We get paid, you get paid.
That's how it works, ain't it, boy?
So I'm gonna see you one more time then.
Huh? Who the hell is this dude?
That's my business man in Canada.
Yeah.
And he found out there's a big market up there.
- A hell of a market. - So, you know, we may have to
get you to make some more moonshine.
You know, it's a lot of tension here.
It's a lot of tension because, you know,
they know what they did and we know what they did,
but I need them to make the moonshine.
We'll settle it when we come back.
We always settle our debt.
We're gonna settle it when we come back.
We just need to get this in the truck tonight.
Drop the damn tailgate
and let's get you on the truck, then.
We'll get it on the truck then.
We done worked all day and all night, man.
- We [bleep] tired. - Bring it on.
Bring it on.
Tomorrow night, we're gonna take these buckets back
to our still.
We're gonna double twist this.
We're gonna get it above 150 proof.
Get this Canadian order.
- Load the plane. - There you go, boy.
In about two days, we'll be fixing our money, all right?
We'll settle it when we come back.
God, that's a load on the back, ain't it?
So much for the break in the weather, Jerry.
I'll tell you what, man.
Crazy to start out as pretty as it was this morning.
We got to hurry up and get this crap done, man.
In Haywood County, North Carolina...
Ugh.
...after rival shiners Mark and Huck sabotaged
their last run with roadkill...
- Man, that is nasty. - That just tastes like death.
...Mike and Jerry plotted revenge.
But when their faces turned up on a wanted poster,
payback had to wait.
Now, with a bounty on their heads,
they've got one chance to finish a $10,000-run
and get out of town for the season.
You know, that reward poster out there floating around with
mine and Jerry's pictures on it, it's got us nervous.
But my childhood home's up for sale in Mississippi,
and I've got to come up with $10,000
to put a down payment on it to keep it in the family.
So me and Jerry come up with a caramel pecan pie recipe.
If done right, it should fetch a premium price.
Gotta get her done, pun. Get her done!
So the first thing we're doing, we're gonna chop up
the caramel, heat up a pot of water, so that caramel
can get melted in there.
We're just gonna put piles of caramel in a pot of water till
we think it's sweet enough and flavorful enough to get
the amount of alcohol and the flavor
we're looking for to get it sold.
Whoo, we got us a hunk now.
That's like three or four pounds right there.
Ki-yah!
Whew.
You know, the most important thing about
this whole run is fetching that premium price.
- You ready for this? - Yep.
This stuff's gotta work off great, run off great,
and sell great.
Boy, this stuff is smelling so good.
Golly. Smell that.
Whoo!
The caramel is filling the air.
Fall is in the air.
I smell a good pecan pie coming on.
Get her in there, baby.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Liquid gold right there.
I think it's a good idea we go ahead and get them pecans
and sprinkle some in there and let them be steeping.
You know, normally we would extract all the oils and stuff
from our pecans and infuse it in our final product,
but we don't have time to do all of that right now.
So we're gonna just mash them in just like we would
any other type of grain.
We're hoping to extract all that good flavor
from them pecans to come through that mash
and produce a premium product.
Is it good? Is it pecan-y?
Oh, my God.
Oh, God, he got a piece of pecan in his mouth!
That is amazing.
You know, once we had that pecan water
and tasted that mash, oh, my God, did it--
I mean, the flavors were just popping everywhere.
It's like a firecracker in your mouth.
That much closer to success and that much closer to getting
my home place back in Mississippi, brother.
Grab that tarp.
You know, this mash smells just like
my grandma's hot caramel pecan pie, but it don't
guarantee the mash is gonna taste just like that.
You know, I'm hoping that the caramel
and the pecan flavors carry through tremendously
into our finished product,
'cause we don't have time for a redo.
This is it.
Pecan pie.
Here we come, baby.
Whoo!
- Man, oh, man. - What are you doing, big dog?
You ain't even gonna believe this.
Old boy is definitely not done selling liquor.
In Cocke County, Tennessee...
I knew he was gonna come back.
...after confirming the rat who turned them into police is
the same man selling cheap, industrial alcohol
as backwoods moonshine...
I'll bet you $100 he sells liquor.
...Mark, Digger, and Josh prepare to deliver a dose of
centuries-old backwoods justice.
This boy is a-stealing this liquor from a chemical plant
in a little, old, small factory.
They make hand sanitizer and parts cleaner.
It's actually his day job where they use this
industrial-grade alcohol.
He might not think he's a thief.
He might be thinking he's earning it, seeing how
he's stealing it off the hand that feeds him.
Who the hell steals liquor from their work,
sells the liquor, and gets other
moonshiners busted? - A sorry bastard.
Well, he keeps ratting us out.
We got to do something to stop him.
What are we gonna do?
The only real way that we can ensure that he's gonna go
back to where he could possibly get caught
is we're gonna have to make a big order.
I like it. I like it a lot.
So if you place an order, how are you gonna catch him with it?
And if he ca-- I don't, I don't know.
We got to place a big enough order that guarantees that
he has to go steal more.
If he gets a big enough order, he ain't got no choice but to
go back to the well.
And that's when we'll spring a trap on him.
I don't know how in the hell we place an order with him.
You can't do it, and I can't do it, and you can't do it.
How did we get our first jar of liquor?
Stan.
What are you talking about?
He's the one that actually got us the first jar
of this cheap-ass, fake liquor from him.
If we can talk our old buddy Stan into going and making
a big order with him, something astronomical
where he'll have to go get more liquor--
this is the only way to get us all in the same spot at
the same time is to get Stan to make an order.
Look at how smart our boy Digger is.
Put the thief in jail, I'm down.
You know, Stan's the only natural choice we've got.
He's trusted by this guy.
But all this right now depends 100%
on getting Stan on board with this.
- I'm good with it if you are. - I don't know what else to do.
We're gonna go see Stan and feel him out and see how
he feels about maybe being a double agent and help us set
this rascal up and put a stop
to all this foolishness. - Let's go find Stan.
- There you go. - They full, too.
All right.
Well, they filled them on up, didn't they?
- Yeah, they full. - That's a good thing.
We're taking this liquor that we're getting
from these other shiners, and we're doing what we call
double twisting,
which is basically we're running it again.
What that's doing is taking a lot of the water
out of this alcohol and concentrating it more.
All right, yep, we got them.
And the reason we're doing that is to up the proof as high
as possible, because we want to be flying as much actual
high-proof alcohol as possible.
Then it can be proofed back down and made into more gallons.
What are you dressed like there, son?
Most of the time, you've got shorts on.
I always rock my shorts, but I am fresh from Canada,
a Canadian tuxedo. - Canadian tux.
- Glad to have you here. - Yeah, I'm glad to be back, man.
- I'm OK. - All right, let's get it in there
and fire it up. - Yeah.
When you go to bumping the proof up as high as we're
trying to bump it up here, it gets very dangerous.
You run the risk of actually blowing your still up
because we're concentrating it more.
So we're gonna put some water over in our still
before we put this alcohol over in it.
There you go. There you go.
I think that's good. You shut him off?
Yeah, I'll shut it off.
All right, put that liquor in there.
You want to light this burner up?
Yeah, get the burner going. That way we can get it hot,
get it cooking.
- That's what I'm saying. - There we go.
We can cap her up.
Now, what's gonna happen when it finally comes time to
pay these guys? - I'm not paying them anything.
And you know us, in the outlaw world,
we don't pay no taxes, no way.
But, you know, when I was in Kentucky,
I did have to pay a little for rent.
So when me and Howard was out in Kentucky,
we had a little run-in with this guy.
You know, it's like a kingpin moonshiner
out there, named John.
So what-- what do we got to do?
But the Kentucky guys, they took 100 gallons for rent.
And I really think me paying that little bit,
that kind of got my way in with those guys.
You know, I got this respect to John and his guys
out there in Kentucky.
So I think they understand, too, you know?
And when I'm dealing with these rival shiners right here
in Virginia, I think they got my back.
So now I got those guys, I really think when I call,
they'll come. - It's a plan.
It's a good plan. I like it.
We got liquor, boys.
All right, all right. About time.
What's it taste like? What's it taste like?
- All right, Henny. - Hope you got that, brother.
Let's see what it looks like.
Whoo, dog, that's high.
I don't even quite know how to read that.
It's high.
You got to hold your breath to drink it.
Yeah.
It's smooth, but, man, it's got a bite to it.
I guarantee it does.
It's burning my hand through that jar.
Oh, please. Please.
Right through the jar.
You know, this moonshine that's coming out of the still, I mean,
all of it is easy over 150, 160 proof.
I mean, that's what we need. That's what we want.
That's high proof.
I think we 'bout got it, y'all.
Yee-haw.
Pshew.
Smells like pecan pie, don't it?
It does smell like Grandma's house for sure.
You know, we've been waiting for our mash to work off.
Today's the day to get in there and try to get this stuff
run off. It's got to be right.
I have no time to burn.
Looky there.
We timed that about right, didn't we?
- It tastes good, man. - Let's get rolling with it.
This run determines if I get my home place back.
$10,000 is what I've really got to have for this down payment.
This means the world to me. It's got to be right.
Ole hi-hat time, son.
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo!
That is a little high cap, man.
It'll give us a little reflux and up that proof without
messing up the flavor on it.
I figure them two tapers in and out like that will give us
a little more surface area.
We're doing everything we can to ensure that we get
the best liquor possible.
I'm just gonna cut this bottom a little close.
But that reward poster with mine and Jerry's picture on it,
it's still out there.
So finishing this run and getting it sold and putting
an end to our season is critical.
Tell you what, man, that mash is delicious.
I just hope it's worked off enough to give us the amount of
alcohol we need and the money
that we need. - Right.
If it don't, guess who falls short?
We both do.
Oh, I get that entirely.
I'll tell you what, if we can't get this goal,
meet this goal, what we need,
we ain't got no time to do anything else.
You know, this is it. Last run of the season
for me and Jerry.
No do-overs here.
I just hope the caramel and pecans was fully absorbed
throughout the mash so the pecan pie flavor actually
comes through really strong in our final product,
so we'll have a premium liquor to sell.
Hey, look here. We got liquor coming out.
Yay, baby! Whoo!
- Smells like pecan pie. - We put enough work into it.
It should come out good.
I think we're good to go on these heads.
Chomp them old heads down through the woods.
You know, as sweet as this caramel is,
our hopes and dreams of being able to get this caramel flavor
coming out, I'm not sure how they're gonna work.
I'm gonna tell you what, man, I'm gonna get us a jar.
Old taster-taster.
Got a nose.
Ha, ha.
I ain't believing that, son.
I mean, I don't think it can get better than that.
If it'd just level out and stay the way it is, that's money
in the bank, son. That's delicious!
Man, I tell you what, I couldn't be happier
with that. - I'm telling you now, baby.
The proof ain't way up there. The flavors are here.
The pecan and caramel's coming through together perfectly.
We have hit the nail on the head.
I hate to count my chickens before they hatch,
but I can see myself back home in my new, old house
that I grew up in sipping on some pecan pie,
and calling that home, baby.
Get the heck out here and get it sold, baby.
You know, Mark and Huck might have thought they got the best
of us by dumping roadkill in our last batch of mash,
but guess what?
We're fixing to finish strong,
and I can assure you one thing--
Mark Rogers is gonna pay for what he did.
Well, well, what brings y'all back here?
We got a plan to get this thief busted.
What you fellers up to today?
It involves some help from our old buddy Stan.
We didn't show up just because we needed you to see
how pretty we are. - That's a good thing.
We got a problem with our old buddy again,
the damn thief, fake liquor seller.
I thought you was gonna handle that.
Well, we thought we had, but sumbitch has popped up
again like whack-a-mole and he kind of changed the dynamics.
He's not only selling stole liquor and playing it for
backwoods liquor, he's ratting out people.
He got both Josh's stills took.
He's calling the law in on everybody?
Yeah. He deserves to be caught.
So what's that got to do with me?
Well, he trusts you.
We need you to line up a liquor sale if you can.
We know he don't have enough of this stolen
industrial-grade alcohol to fill much of an order.
So we want you to order more liquor than he has stuff
to make, so he'll have to go steal more.
300 gallons.
Set him up to get caught stealing.
Well, that's what we hope.
Whew, that's a stretch right here now.
Now, I've been buying little orders from him, case here,
case there. You know, we're talking big jump
from a couple cases to 300 gallons.
Got to do some thinking on this one now.
Stan's a little bit conflicted about this, and I understand,
because it really isn't anything to Stan.
It don't help Stan or hurt Stan either way.
So, what do you say, Stan? Can you do this for us?
What do you say, Stan? Can you do this for us?
If any luck at all, we'll get Stan convinced that he needs to
help us eliminate the liquor world of a damn fraud
and a fake and a thief and a rat.
He's working at the same place he steals it at.
- Really? - Yep.
We know from what me and Mark witnessed that this guy's low
on GNS, cheap, industrial alcohol.
If he gets a big order,
he has no choice but to go back and steal some more.
A thief, a liar.
Cheating everybody, stealing.
He's got to go.
Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it.
- Outstanding. - Just call you
and let you know when I got it put together.
Just call me and tell me.
- Say, "Done." - All right.
So we're just gonna let Stan go get this deal worked up
whenever he can.
- All right, bud. - Thank you, Stan.
You know, we know what this guy does for a living.
We know where he's stealing his alcohol at.
Then we can spring the trap and let this sumbitch
land right in the middle of a pair of handcuffs.
What do you think about old Stan?
Good guy, ain't he?
- That's your guy right there, ain't it? - That's him.
You know, me and Mike, we've got to get this done.
He don't have time to waste, and if we're gonna meet
his deadline, we've got to do it now.
How's it going?
You know, this is a buyer, he paid some good,
high price for our liquor before,
so I feel like he's a good candidate
for shelling out the money we need to get Mike's house back.
Yeah, Jerry tells me you're from Georgia.
That's right, that's right.
Well, I got something you're gonna love right there.
- Pecan pie, buddy. - You know what?
- We love pecans in Georgia. - Yes, sir.
Yeah, it's got flavor like none other in the liquor.
Oh, yeah.
That's pecan.
I can see it in his eyeballs right now, son.
He's never tasted nothing like this a day in his life.
He's liking it, and I'm on to him.
We got 10 good buckets.
You know, I only need $10,000 to put down on my home place in
Mississippi, but me and Jerry's gonna try to get as much money
as we can out of this guy.
You know, you're not gonna get another chance at this
particular run of alcohol.
This is once in a lifetime for all of us here.
We're gonna have to be on $250 a gallon.
No, I can't do that.
I'll tell you what. How about $225 a gallon?
You know, I hate I wasted y'all's time,
I had it in my mind about what I wanted to do,
and that's all I can do, so.
- Oh, my God. - Terry, hang on a second.
Mike, come here. Hey.
Look, we can't afford to let him walk away.
I don't want to let him walk away, but I don't want to
give it away, neither. - I know.
But you've got to get this house bought.
Let's see if we can get him on $200 a gallon.
That's only the money for the house.
Oh, I know. I get it.
OK. All right.
- Hey, Terry. - Yeah?
This is what we're gonna do,
$200 a gallon, man.
If we can't do that, I guess we can all drive home.
- Ten grand? - Ten grand.
- Looky there.
He come with the intention to buy now.
- Appreciate it. - Thank you, Terry.
- I appreciate it. - The deal's done.
I've got $10,000 in my pocket. I feel great about it.
I ain't putting my down payment
on my home place in Mississippi.
All right, well, let's get this loaded up.
I can't help but feel bad for Jerry.
He's got to walk away pretty much with nothing right now.
You can't put a price on partnership, man,
and helping our brother out.
If the roles were turned, I'd have done the same thing for Jerry,
and I know he'd have made it up to me.
I'm going south. See y'all.
All right, buddy.
You see where I put that money,
don't you? Close to my heart.
Now it's time to take my money and get out of town.
With all those wanted posters of me and Jerry around,
we're gonna have to lay low for a while.
Well, tonight, we're gonna make our first delivery to
our Canadian buyer at the airport.
Henry, Tickle.
Hey, look, we ain't driving all the way to Canada, are we?
No, but you know, you have to be prepared, you see.
Last time we went down there, there was a security guard.
So I got this idea.
The story is, we're taking the supplies to the guy with
the plane that's going on like a hunting trip,
going camping somewhere. So I got all kinds of supplies.
Now, I got some totes in there. We got 50 gallons.
We put that in there, so a little space on top like that,
we're gonna have this stuff on top of it.
Sounds good to me. I'm going with you, Tim.
- OK. - And I got this right here
that we're gonna take with us, too.
This is apple pie brandy.
If they like it, then we've got a whole nother product line,
and this is high-dollar.
I don't know about y'all, man. I'm gonna be smoking me
a big cigar and sipping on some brandy.
I'm not going anywhere near that airport.
I didn't tell them nothing about this.
Well, that's why I'm going.
I'm confident as soon as this guy takes one sip of this stuff
and tries it, he's gonna want this.
Get those totes out the side, and we're gonna start
putting the jugs in. - Putting the jugs in the totes?
I want to put the moonshine, the gallon jugs, inside of
these totes. And then I got camping stuff.
I want to throw that in on top of it.
So if the security guys want to look inside, you know,
he'll only see that.
I don't see anything wrong with what we got here.
Let's load it. Load it and go.
Let's get it up.
You know, Tim has came up with
one of the craziest ideas ever
of how we're gonna hide the shine.
He's got sleeping bags, chairs, dry goods,
everything you can think of that looks like you're going
on a solo camping trip.
Even pop the door and look in here...
- You'd never know. - It looks perfect.
All right, now get on out of here.
We're just gonna tell the security guard, "Hey,
"look, we're just making a delivery to some guy
who's going off on a big hunting expedition."
- Oh, there he is. - Mm-hmm.
Post up just like last time.
Sir, how are you?
All right, good.
We're going to hangar 32
and we got some supplies for
a guy going on a hunting trip.
Sure, go ahead.
I told you he's gonna open the back door.
Yeah, .
- What's he doing? - I don't know.
He's coming back.
Yeah, it's like food and stuff, you know?
Well, the guy's going on a hunting trip.
And he's going out there to Montana.
He's going for a couple of days out there and stuff, you know?
32.
- Uh-huh. - You know.
OK.
- OK, all right. - Thank you so much, sir.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Holy smokes, Tim.
That's a little too close right there.
Looked like he had that question mark on his face.
All right. This the place?
Yeah. OK.
We'll, uh, we'll let this door shut here
before we get going.
- Whew. - OK-- we're good.
We're good now.
Yeah. Check out that right there.
- All right. - OK.
- Yeah. - Ah, OK.
OK, OK.
There you go, right there. Yeah.
We brought you 50 gallons in there.
Well, there's a little something else in here, too.
I just wanted to get you to try.
Let's start pulling them out.
Now, Tickle, he's up now.
Now he's got to sell this brandy.
Now, this right here, good and high-proof.
OK.
What this is, is an apple pie brandy.
OK.
It's like an apple brandy, but it's got cinnamon
and vanilla up in it.
They would love this.
I think we could sell every bit of this that we got.
Right off, he goes, "Hey, our guys has never tasted
anything like this. I'm for sure I can sell it."
So he's gonna take it.
Make sure we don't break anything here, man.
You know, they're plastic, but they will leak.
And it'll make this plane smell real good.
50 gallons of shine and nine gallons of brandy may not seem
like a lot, but Jean-Luc says he's got business down here
in the States every two weeks.
He's gonna be rotating us in and out.
As much shine as we can bring him, he can haul back.
You know, I think this might be the most lucrative deal
we've got ourselves into thus far. - All right.
- Looks like you're all loaded. - OK.
- Thank you. - We good?
- So two weeks? - Yeah.
- OK. - Yeah, we'll make it happen in two weeks.
- OK. - We're gonna get right back
to making this tariff-free liquor for
a Canadian buyer and keep this train rolling.
But first, I'm gonna get my revenge on these rival shiners
that burned down my stash house and ran me out of Virginia.
Well, Josh, Stan told us, he called me.
He was able to make the deal to buy the 300 gallons
from the damn GNS thief, and he's supposed to
deliver it tomorrow.
Unless he's got more GNS stored somewhere else other than where
we looked, in order to fill that order for tomorrow,
he's got to steal more tonight, so we're putting all of
our eggs in this basket. - OK.
One of the things we do know, thanks to some snooping we did,
this guy's stealing industrial grade alcohol from the place
where he is employed at.
- He's doing everything wrong. - Yep.
He's making fake-ass liquor that he's stealing.
Ratting people out. Really don't get much lower.
We definitely live by a code.
This guy, he has zero code, he has zero morals.
Who does this kind of thing?
I hate a doggone thief.
- Cannot stand a thief. - Well, we're gonna put a stop to him.
We'll just ease through, see if his truck's there, then we'll
figure out if we're gonna execute our plan or not.
How in the world are we gonna-- what are we gonna do?
Me and Digger talked a little bit about it.
If we can get him, catch him in the act, Digger's gonna try
to hem him in, and he's gonna occupy his time.
We want you to disarm his truck, grab the keys
out of it, throw them away, whatever you got to do.
Right on, make it where he can't drive off.
And I'm gonna try to find a fire alarm, pull a fire alarm,
and by doing this, because it's a chemical plant,
not only will they send fire personnel, they'll dispatch
police cars, too.
When this sumbitch gets caught, he's done for.
Well, this is the plant fellas.
He'll go to penitentiary, and he'll go for quite a while.
Digger, out yonder on the end.
Let's see if that's it. I'll know if we get on up there to it.
- Oh. - That's it right there, Puss.
We pull up in the employee parking lot,
and there's the gray truck that we know he drives.
Oh, look right back yonder.
- Oh, look, sitting right there. - Fake liquor totes.
100% guarantee it.
Right smart of him.
Well, I'm gonna back us over in this hole,
and we'll hide right over here.
Get behind these trees.
Where we parked, we can see his truck,
and then we can see the loading docks
on the backside of the building.
All we can do now is just sit in this little hole
in the woods and smoke this boy out.
And just hurry up and wait, guys.
Dude, what are you doing in town still?
Well, Jerry, I think me and you need to have
a little talk, brother.
I thought we were laying low because of that warning poster?
You got one of those posters laying around we can look at?
I mean, I've got one.
Me and Jerry, we made a lot of money on our pecan pie shine,
but there's something that's going through my mind
that I just can't get off of it right now.
Why would law enforcement put a wanted poster out like this?
Well, that's true. I mean, the cops actually
put it out on the web nowadays.
Either that or they're gonna track us, watch us,
and catch us in the act,
and we won't ever know nothing about it.
Somebody done this. This is personal.
And I've got a big hunch of who it might be.
Compare numbers.
Oh, my God.
That's none other but Mark Rogers his self.
You're telling me he's the one that put these posters out?
If he didn't, why is his phone number down at the bottom
of the poster? Let's give him a call.
Mikey Cockrell.
Why, in God's name, are you running around
hanging posters of me and Jerry all over town?
Well, I don't know what you're talking about, Mark.
I mean, I ain't got your cap.
Well, I ain't backing down from him.
And he ain't getting that cap back.
- No sirree. - You know what that means, don't you?
We got a hell of a start to the next season.
He might not even be here, y'all.
Well, he may not.
We've been waiting here for hours.
This feller's not only a thief, he's a rat, and he's the reason
that I can't go back home and go back to making liquor.
I just hope he's in there.
Well, I'm telling you, it makes your damn blood boil, don't it?
I mean, it's one thing to steal, but to go out
and defraud people, trying to get them to believe it's
something else, that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.
Yeah, and turn people in just so you can have
their damn business. - Yep.
You're supposed to be able to make it on your own hind legs.
We're gonna put him back on his hind legs.
That's what we're gonna do. Ope...
I'm seeing shadows.
Uh-huh. Boys, look yonder.
Here he comes.
Oh, no. Yep, yep.
Here he comes.
Boys, we got him, but we got to give him a chance
to actually get some damn GNS moving.
But I want him to have a lot of evidence there
to be incriminating on him.
Oh, there he goes.
Oh, yeah. Look at him.
Well, he's loading it up.
This is what we've been hoping for.
We've caught this sumbitch dead to rights
stealing this GNS. - Damn.
I've seen about enough of this [bleep].
I've about had all I can stand.
Everybody square on what they got to do?
- Absolutely. - Josh?
Let's rock and roll.
- All right. - Oh, man.
The hell are you guys doing here?
You're fixing to get your [bleep] head busted.
All right, let's get it in there and fire it up.
- Howard. - I just fell in the creek.
- I think I lost an ear. - Oh, yeah, you're bleeding.
I got some paper towels in the truck.
Oh, you get turned around over there, wind up walking off
that bank with no light? - I walked off the bank.
I didn't know there was a bank there.
Yeah, and didn't have no light?
Yeah, you'll have it.
- Is my ear still there? - It's still there.
It'll be all right by the time you get married again.
Holy [bleep].
Well, you didn't tell me this creek was down there.
Well, I mean, the moonshine still's at a creek.
I mean, you know, the man is speaking words
of wisdom here, Howard.
You should listen with your good ear.
Hey, you guys ain't supposed to be here.
I got every [bleep] right in the world to be here.
- I don't need no trouble. - Really?
My job is to make sure he can't leave.
I open the door, fricking throw the keys in the woods.
Oh, man.
You [bleep] up when you didn't take your first warning.
It would have been a whole different ball game
if you hadn't called in on this boy right here
and got his still seized.
We gave you a chance earlier, you remember?
I'm just trying to make a dollar, man.
Hey, look here, boss.
You had this man's still site raided.
They took everything he had.
Just give me my [bleep] back, [bleep].
- I can't do that. - Who do you think you are?
I can't do that. You know that.
Josh, simmer down. Oh, listen.
Oh, I bet that that's either red or blue lights.
Let's go.
Oh, look back there at all them pretty flashing lights.
Oh, heck yeah.
Oh, bless your heart.
He ain't got no damn fight in him no more.
What do you think about that, Josh?
How in the world did we pull that off?
I hate to do them boys that way,
but they served a major community service today.
They did, in fact.
It's not Mighty Mark's DNA to rat out somebody,
but at the end of the day, he makes all of us look bad.
We were left no option.
Job well done, gentlemen.
I ain't never been so happy to see blue lights.
I'll tell you one thing,
I just knowed there for a second,
Josh was fixing to whip his ass.
It was all I could do to not wring his dang neck.
Oh, hell yeah.
Let's go home and sleep pretty tonight.
Let's do that.
Tonight is the night.
You know, tonight is the last load we're gonna pick up.
You know, they pushed us out of Virginia.
You know, they burned down our stash house.
But tonight is payback.
These rival shiners that we tricked
into making liquor for us,
they deserve everything that's coming to them.
These guys destroyed, like, $20,000 worth of
moonshine we had. They destroyed our still site.
They burned our stash house down.
I mean, we lost all our equipment.
The still, the burner, the thumper, the worm.
We're not gonna pay these guys anything.
We're down here today, gonna take the alcohol,
not gonna pay them. We're gonna pay them something.
No, I ain't paying them nothing.
We done got them to make 1,000 gallons of moonshine for us.
And then we're gonna get the last load,
and then I'm gonna tell them tonight
they can walk.
That's when I'm gonna let them know that we ain't
gonna pay them. - These guys don't play, man.
I'm telling you. They got me concerned.
That's the whole problem.
You know, and I made a phone call to Kentucky,
and those guys has got my back.
How can they have our back?
They're in Kentucky. We're in Virginia.
- They have already arrived. - Seriously?
My boy John, he's coming through.
They are down there right now in the woods, and nobody even
knows they there. - Oh, my gosh.
I got them trapped in a hole.
They'll be lucky if they leave with shoes on their feet.
I'm with you, brother. Let's do it.
You know, the deal I had in Kentucky, now I've got
a partnership with those guys.
We all bond together,
and we're gonna take care of these guys tonight.
All right, y'all.
How many you got?
- 45 gallons. - 45 gallons?
- Yep. - 45 gallons.
That's all you ran off both stills?
Both stills. That's what it yielded.
Damn!
Well, you should have run twice that.
But at any rate, let's get it on the truck.
- Let's get it on the truck. - You got my money?
Ain't no money, boss.
No, the deal was you make the moonshine.
No, I think you owe us anyway.
Well, we lost the stash house for 1,000 gallons.
That's probably like $20,000.
But I think you did.
I think all y'all had something to do with it.
Ain't no money, boss. Come on, guys.
You don't think I'd come alone, did you?
As soon as this altercation even begins to take place,
this whole still site's getting lit up.
Everybody, all kinds of people's rolling in.
Meet my buddies from Kentucky, right here.
- Nice to meet you, brother. - Load this [bleep] up.
- All right, let's roll. - We're taking it all.
Liquor, stills, everything.
We managed to get most of our shine back out of
these guys, but we're taking their stills.
We're taking the burners. We're taking the gas tanks.
We're taking the condenser. We're taking the doubler.
Grab this grain, too.
We're taking it all.
And we let these guys know,
you are not welcome to be making liquor out here.
This is what happens when you cross people like this.
What do you think, Tim?
- I think we got what we need. - Yeah.
When you're dealing with outlaws and people like this,
you know, you have to take the law in your own hands.
You don't go calling 911. You know, we are the law.
Let's go, guys. Let's go.
- Let's roll. - Let's go.
Let's load up. Let's go.
Get out of here.
I went legal for a couple of years and then,
you know, came back.
You know, going back to the woods,
you know, it feels good. It feels good.
You can kind of set your own rules.
Yes, the generation of people have changed,
but you know one thing about it?
We're always gonna make it work.
Moonshine is always gonna survive.
Yeah, we always do it in the dark.
But it is what it is.
I may have went legal one time, but, you know, I'm an outlaw,
born and raised in it, and this is where
I'm supposed to be.
