1
00:00:01,467 --> 00:00:03,100
It's awful good liquor.
You might not be used to that.
2
00:00:03,267 --> 00:00:04,767
This time
on "Moonshiners"--
3
00:00:04,934 --> 00:00:06,132
Whoo!
4
00:00:06,133 --> 00:00:08,868
I got a deal of a lifetime
that I'm trying to fulfill,
5
00:00:09,033 --> 00:00:09,967
so I called Digger.
6
00:00:09,968 --> 00:00:10,901
You gotta
have you some help.
7
00:00:11,067 --> 00:00:12,167
I definitely need some help.
8
00:00:12,334 --> 00:00:14,267
I want you to call this boy
right here.
9
00:00:14,434 --> 00:00:15,968
Tell him I put you
in touch with him,
10
00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:17,767
and he needs a partner.
11
00:00:17,934 --> 00:00:20,400
It's just gonna take a lot
for me to get back used to
12
00:00:20,567 --> 00:00:22,300
teaming back up with you
a little bit.
13
00:00:22,467 --> 00:00:24,300
I've been married to Jerry
for so long.
14
00:00:24,467 --> 00:00:25,801
Whoo, hoo, hoo.
15
00:00:25,968 --> 00:00:27,601
Where's the cap at?
16
00:00:27,767 --> 00:00:29,868
Jerry's shop, obviously.
17
00:00:30,033 --> 00:00:32,100
I can't just call Jerry and ask
for this cap.
18
00:00:32,267 --> 00:00:34,100
He wouldn't let me have it
for nothing in this world,
19
00:00:34,267 --> 00:00:35,801
knowing it's half mine.
20
00:00:35,968 --> 00:00:37,667
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
right there's Jerry.
21
00:00:37,834 --> 00:00:38,868
Right there's Jerry
coming around.
22
00:00:39,033 --> 00:00:39,968
You better get somewhere.
23
00:00:41,567 --> 00:00:42,701
Oh, my God.
24
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,267
I'm not believing this.
They're loading up liquor.
25
00:00:46,434 --> 00:00:48,400
This guy, Brandon, I mean,
something's going on here.
26
00:00:48,567 --> 00:00:50,367
- This guy is just playing us.
- You see it?
27
00:00:50,534 --> 00:00:52,100
Yeah, I see it.
28
00:00:52,267 --> 00:00:53,567
They is
a tracker on it.
29
00:00:53,734 --> 00:00:55,267
Now, this guy knows
what we're doing,
30
00:00:55,434 --> 00:00:57,100
but I know where he went
into the woods.
31
00:00:57,267 --> 00:00:58,767
That's a still site, yeah.
32
00:00:58,934 --> 00:01:00,767
That's a big still site.
33
00:01:00,934 --> 00:01:02,701
That's a doggone AR-15.
34
00:01:04,267 --> 00:01:06,567
This is how
we make the moonshine.
35
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,067
Get this thing sugared
back in, right?
36
00:01:20,234 --> 00:01:21,200
All right, let's do it.
37
00:01:21,367 --> 00:01:23,100
Got to make
some more, Henry.
38
00:01:23,267 --> 00:01:26,567
In Culpeper County, Virginia,
after unidentified
39
00:01:26,734 --> 00:01:28,801
law enforcement agents
intimidated
40
00:01:28,968 --> 00:01:30,067
their grain supplier...
41
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,367
...and similar agents conducted
a suspicious
42
00:01:37,534 --> 00:01:39,100
late-night traffic stop...
43
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:42,767
Uh, no.
44
00:01:42,934 --> 00:01:46,000
...Tim and his crew face
a dwindling supply of both
45
00:01:46,167 --> 00:01:49,200
the corn and the confidence
they need to complete
46
00:01:49,367 --> 00:01:52,167
their latest Canadian
moonshine order.
47
00:01:52,334 --> 00:01:54,868
- Oh, yeah.
- All right, brother,
bring it on.
48
00:01:55,033 --> 00:01:58,501
With all that has been going
on here lately, with us not
49
00:01:58,667 --> 00:02:01,300
having a grain supplier,
we've really been on edge.
50
00:02:01,467 --> 00:02:04,400
And we've got to get the most
out of this grain right here,
51
00:02:04,567 --> 00:02:06,901
which is why we're going to
sugar this stuff back.
52
00:02:07,067 --> 00:02:09,767
Because if we can't get
any more, we've got to make
53
00:02:09,934 --> 00:02:11,868
the most out of what we have.
54
00:02:12,033 --> 00:02:13,567
You know, right now,
we're just going to sugar back.
55
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:14,801
We're putting
the sugar back in.
56
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:16,367
We already made one good run.
57
00:02:16,534 --> 00:02:19,067
And that right there,
it's a finished run.
It's the second run.
58
00:02:19,234 --> 00:02:21,267
You just go back and put
the sugar in it,
59
00:02:21,434 --> 00:02:23,767
put a little bit of yeast
maybe back in it, cool it down,
60
00:02:23,934 --> 00:02:25,968
cover it up.
We got to get on out of here.
61
00:02:26,133 --> 00:02:27,767
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, y'all.
62
00:02:27,934 --> 00:02:29,467
- What?
- That's my boy.
63
00:02:30,601 --> 00:02:32,067
- Brandon.
- Oh, it's good to
see you again.
64
00:02:32,234 --> 00:02:33,767
How you been doing?
65
00:02:33,934 --> 00:02:35,167
Doing my best.
That's all I can do.
66
00:02:37,267 --> 00:02:39,100
You been doing some scouting
out for us?
67
00:02:39,267 --> 00:02:40,300
Yeah, I walked around a bit.
68
00:02:40,467 --> 00:02:41,868
I didn't see much of anything
worth noting,
69
00:02:42,033 --> 00:02:44,267
I'll tell you that.
- Where'd you come
about every day, or?
70
00:02:44,434 --> 00:02:45,667
Came up two times.
71
00:02:45,834 --> 00:02:47,467
No shotgun shells,
nothing like that?
72
00:02:47,634 --> 00:02:49,868
I saw some footprints,
but they were mine, so I guess
73
00:02:50,033 --> 00:02:51,400
I ain't tracking nobody but me
so far.
74
00:02:54,601 --> 00:02:56,167
So is this where
the magic happens?
75
00:02:56,334 --> 00:02:57,567
- That's where it happens, man.
- Mm-hmm.
76
00:02:57,734 --> 00:03:00,567
I mean, Franklin County is
kind of wet, but that seems
77
00:03:00,734 --> 00:03:02,367
like a lot even for
Franklin County.
78
00:03:04,601 --> 00:03:05,868
We don't sell
in Franklin County.
79
00:03:07,601 --> 00:03:09,868
Well, you don't mm
where you eat, right?
80
00:03:19,067 --> 00:03:20,601
Lucky to have you.
We're going to take care of you
81
00:03:20,767 --> 00:03:22,367
as soon as we get it run.
- All right,
sounds good.
82
00:03:22,534 --> 00:03:23,767
- All right, man.
- All right, now.
83
00:03:23,934 --> 00:03:24,968
What the hell?
84
00:03:28,767 --> 00:03:30,701
I can tell you this,
I don't like somebody
85
00:03:30,868 --> 00:03:33,167
rolling up into the still site
like that, Henry.
86
00:03:33,334 --> 00:03:35,767
We hired this guy, Brandon,
to kind of be our lookout
87
00:03:35,934 --> 00:03:38,167
because he stumbled across
our still site.
88
00:03:38,334 --> 00:03:41,868
And his daddy and Henry's daddy
used to run liquor together.
89
00:03:42,033 --> 00:03:45,267
But you know, I'm beginning to
wonder about this guy.
90
00:03:45,434 --> 00:03:47,167
He's got shorts on, man.
91
00:03:47,334 --> 00:03:48,968
We're 50 miles away.
92
00:03:49,133 --> 00:03:50,467
He ain't doing
no hunting today.
93
00:03:50,634 --> 00:03:52,400
Last time he was hunting.
94
00:03:52,567 --> 00:03:54,400
You sure
this guy's legit, man?
95
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,367
I'm not sure of anything,
but he found us, what could
96
00:03:56,534 --> 00:03:57,767
I do?
I mean, he found us.
97
00:03:57,934 --> 00:03:59,267
I'm just trying to
work a deal with him.
98
00:03:59,434 --> 00:04:00,767
I mean, did you tell him
we was coming?
99
00:04:00,934 --> 00:04:02,167
Nope.
Ain't told him anything.
100
00:04:02,334 --> 00:04:03,901
He knew what time
we was coming.
101
00:04:04,067 --> 00:04:07,267
The weird part is he came here
the first time we came here,
102
00:04:07,434 --> 00:04:09,100
and then he showed up now.
103
00:04:09,267 --> 00:04:10,567
He's way
too interested
104
00:04:10,734 --> 00:04:12,200
in what we're doing with
this liquor.
105
00:04:12,367 --> 00:04:13,801
I mean, there's something
going on.
106
00:04:13,968 --> 00:04:15,501
- Gotta be.
- Here's what I say,
107
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:17,400
let's get
this finished sugar back in,
108
00:04:17,567 --> 00:04:19,400
and I think we ought to follow
this guy and see exactly
109
00:04:19,567 --> 00:04:21,767
what he's up to.
- Yeah.
110
00:04:21,934 --> 00:04:23,901
I'm a little bit concerned
about this guy, Brandon.
111
00:04:24,067 --> 00:04:26,567
So right now, we're going to
send Tickle out to follow
112
00:04:26,734 --> 00:04:28,267
this Brandon,
see where he's going,
113
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:29,466
see where he's coming from.
114
00:04:29,467 --> 00:04:31,467
We need to actually find out
who this guy is.
115
00:04:35,801 --> 00:04:39,267
I'm a terrible gambler.
I will not gamble my money.
116
00:04:39,434 --> 00:04:41,667
But when it comes to taking
chances, I jump right in
117
00:04:41,834 --> 00:04:43,167
head first.
118
00:04:43,334 --> 00:04:46,501
Took this deal saying I could
definitely fill this order,
119
00:04:46,667 --> 00:04:48,267
not being able to
fulfill this order.
120
00:04:49,267 --> 00:04:50,601
That was a gamble in itself.
121
00:04:52,501 --> 00:04:54,868
In the woods
near Newport, Tennessee,
122
00:04:55,033 --> 00:04:58,300
injured Carolina moonshiner
Josh Owens
123
00:04:58,467 --> 00:05:01,400
has made a 100-mile drive
to Cocke County
124
00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:05,200
looking for help from
a moonshine mentor to complete
125
00:05:05,367 --> 00:05:07,000
an 80-gallon order.
126
00:05:07,167 --> 00:05:09,367
- What's up, buddy?
- What are you
doing, big dog?
127
00:05:09,534 --> 00:05:10,767
Oh, man.
128
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:14,167
Mark and Digger
hooked me up with all this corn.
129
00:05:14,334 --> 00:05:17,267
I got this order to fulfill.
I got to get it done.
130
00:05:17,434 --> 00:05:19,200
I don't know what to do,
so I called Digger.
131
00:05:20,267 --> 00:05:21,501
So, what's up?
132
00:05:21,667 --> 00:05:24,000
I got an 80-gallon sale
coming up from a customer
133
00:05:24,167 --> 00:05:25,567
that I know that I can trust.
134
00:05:25,734 --> 00:05:28,100
I got 150-gallon still set up
135
00:05:28,267 --> 00:05:32,901
that I could put about
100, 125 gallons in, you know.
136
00:05:33,067 --> 00:05:34,667
You need
a little bigger still.
137
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:36,300
I need a bigger still.
I don't have time to run it.
138
00:05:36,467 --> 00:05:39,167
He's only gave me seven days
to get it in.
139
00:05:39,334 --> 00:05:40,467
Where are you going with this?
140
00:05:40,634 --> 00:05:42,200
You just running laps or you
need me to help you
141
00:05:42,367 --> 00:05:44,067
make this run of liquor?
142
00:05:44,234 --> 00:05:47,167
I'm telling you that I'm ready
to do whatever it takes
143
00:05:47,334 --> 00:05:48,701
to fulfill this order.
144
00:05:48,868 --> 00:05:51,601
This guy's gonna want it
once a week for 30 weeks.
145
00:05:51,767 --> 00:05:53,801
Well, you know we're heading
down wide open right now.
146
00:05:53,968 --> 00:05:56,801
We got $70,000 worth of corn
we're trying to make
147
00:05:56,968 --> 00:05:59,100
a nickel back on, so we can
pay a guy back.
148
00:05:59,267 --> 00:06:01,601
Well, guess what?
This right here will help
you get rid of that corn,
149
00:06:01,767 --> 00:06:03,132
because that's a lot
of whiskey.
150
00:06:03,133 --> 00:06:05,467
- Whatever it takes.
- No, I ain't going to
do you like that.
151
00:06:05,634 --> 00:06:09,267
I worry about you a lot.
You're haphazard.
152
00:06:09,434 --> 00:06:12,367
I want to get you in a groove,
and you finish your job
153
00:06:12,534 --> 00:06:15,000
without any injuries.
- I'm down with that.
154
00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:17,400
This is not the best
situation to be in,
155
00:06:17,567 --> 00:06:18,833
I don't need to step away.
156
00:06:18,834 --> 00:06:21,701
I mean, we got two stills
running and a damn side of corn
157
00:06:21,868 --> 00:06:24,267
going out the door
left and right.
158
00:06:24,434 --> 00:06:27,601
But it's Josh, and I'm going to
take the time to get him
159
00:06:27,767 --> 00:06:29,000
leveled out.
160
00:06:29,167 --> 00:06:30,968
We've got a still set up
on the creek.
161
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,267
We'll get up in the morning,
we'll go make mash.
162
00:06:34,434 --> 00:06:37,167
I don't even really know what
to say, except for I can't
163
00:06:37,334 --> 00:06:38,868
tell you how much
I appreciate it.
164
00:06:39,033 --> 00:06:40,601
For Digger to tell me he's
going to help me pull
165
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:43,667
this deal off, it's like
Godzilla crawling
off my shoulders.
166
00:06:43,834 --> 00:06:45,567
I appreciate you even being
there for me, I really do.
167
00:06:45,734 --> 00:06:47,601
Let's get you up there at
my little cabin, and get you
168
00:06:47,767 --> 00:06:50,467
put up, and then we'll go make
that mash in the morning.
169
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:01,567
Well, I've got
Mark Rogers' cap in the truck.
170
00:07:01,734 --> 00:07:04,567
I think it's time to put
this whole feud to bed,
171
00:07:04,734 --> 00:07:07,100
put it in the past, and walk off
and forget about it,
172
00:07:07,267 --> 00:07:09,601
and that's exactly
what I'm going to do today.
173
00:07:09,767 --> 00:07:12,901
In Graham County,
North Carolina, after seizing
174
00:07:13,067 --> 00:07:16,367
Mark Rogers' copper still cap
during the high-stakes feud...
175
00:07:16,534 --> 00:07:18,267
I'm taking something with me.
176
00:07:18,434 --> 00:07:21,567
...outlaw shiner Mike Cockrell
unwittingly unleashed
177
00:07:21,734 --> 00:07:23,667
the mountain man's
signature revenge...
178
00:07:23,834 --> 00:07:26,067
- Oh, my God.
- God almighty.
179
00:07:26,234 --> 00:07:28,000
Mark Rogers has done
this crap, dude.
180
00:07:28,167 --> 00:07:31,000
...costing him $4,000 in liquor
181
00:07:31,167 --> 00:07:32,901
and his partnership with
Jerry Benson.
182
00:07:33,067 --> 00:07:34,467
I am done with this crap.
183
00:07:34,634 --> 00:07:35,834
Ugh!
184
00:07:37,667 --> 00:07:41,000
Now, with a new partner to
consider, Mike heads to
185
00:07:41,167 --> 00:07:42,701
the hills to return the cap
186
00:07:42,868 --> 00:07:44,868
where he knows its owner
can find it.
187
00:07:45,033 --> 00:07:48,100
Maybe I was wrong for
what I did in the beginning,
188
00:07:48,267 --> 00:07:51,300
but hey, Jerry's the one that
run off and left me
hanging dry.
189
00:07:51,467 --> 00:07:53,667
You just don't do that
to a partner.
190
00:07:53,834 --> 00:07:55,667
I guess he wasn't
the best partner after all.
191
00:07:55,834 --> 00:07:58,667
You know, me and Jerry got into
it bad when Mark Rogers
192
00:07:58,834 --> 00:07:59,767
ruined our liquor.
193
00:07:59,934 --> 00:08:01,501
Jerry just ups and leaves me.
194
00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:03,267
Hey, that's fine with me.
195
00:08:03,434 --> 00:08:04,400
I went back to Tennessee
196
00:08:04,567 --> 00:08:05,900
and asked my old partner Daniel
197
00:08:05,901 --> 00:08:08,801
if he'd be willing to make some
liquor with me one more time.
198
00:08:08,968 --> 00:08:12,300
Well, at least now me and old
Daniel can get a fresh start
199
00:08:12,467 --> 00:08:15,167
to making some liquor
and making some money.
200
00:08:15,334 --> 00:08:17,100
Daniel don't want to cross
Mark Rogers.
201
00:08:17,267 --> 00:08:19,667
So, I promised him
I'd settle the feud.
202
00:08:19,834 --> 00:08:23,400
I've tried to call Mark Rogers.
I can't get him.
203
00:08:23,567 --> 00:08:25,501
I'm not going to send up
smoke signals and stuff
204
00:08:25,667 --> 00:08:28,000
and run through the woods
trying to find him.
205
00:08:28,167 --> 00:08:32,567
But this right here is
a good spot to put this cap.
206
00:08:32,734 --> 00:08:35,267
When he passes through here,
he'll be able to get it.
207
00:08:35,434 --> 00:08:37,367
I'm going to leave Mark Rogers
a message to tell him where
208
00:08:37,534 --> 00:08:39,200
exactly where he can
find the cap.
209
00:08:39,367 --> 00:08:41,367
This is how I'm settling
the feud once and for all.
210
00:08:41,534 --> 00:08:43,167
The cap is gave back.
211
00:08:43,334 --> 00:08:45,467
It's time to put all this stuff
to sleep anyhow.
212
00:08:49,968 --> 00:08:51,701
You know, today I'm rolling
back here to the still site,
213
00:08:51,868 --> 00:08:53,000
just kind of checking
on things.
214
00:08:53,167 --> 00:08:55,100
I'm not really sure
what's going on.
215
00:08:55,267 --> 00:08:59,067
60 miles east in
Haywood County, North Carolina,
216
00:08:59,234 --> 00:09:01,467
Mike's ex-partner,
moonshine innovator
217
00:09:01,634 --> 00:09:05,801
Jerry Benson, returns to their
former still site to retrieve
218
00:09:05,968 --> 00:09:09,200
the valuable copper still
he helped build by hand.
219
00:09:10,267 --> 00:09:11,868
You know, I haven't talked to
Mike since that big blowout,
220
00:09:12,033 --> 00:09:13,868
so I'm going to head back to
the still site and just kind of
221
00:09:14,033 --> 00:09:15,767
check on things there
and see what's up.
222
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:20,801
Pull up to the still site,
you know,
223
00:09:20,968 --> 00:09:22,467
the water wheel's still there
working real good.
224
00:09:23,667 --> 00:09:25,300
But, you know,
the pot, it's gone.
225
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,467
I should have known this is
what he'd end up doing.
226
00:09:29,634 --> 00:09:31,000
Just...
227
00:09:31,167 --> 00:09:32,701
take what he wants.
228
00:09:32,868 --> 00:09:34,067
Damn, I swear.
229
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,367
So, it's always something
with him.
230
00:09:37,534 --> 00:09:38,667
I tell you what,
that really just, you know,
231
00:09:38,834 --> 00:09:40,501
not a phone call or a text, anything.
232
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:42,868
That really just shows
Mike's character for sure.
233
00:09:43,033 --> 00:09:43,999
We own all this stuff together.
234
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,333
I mean, it's kind of
like a co-ownership.
235
00:09:45,334 --> 00:09:47,367
You just can't come in here
and take something without even
236
00:09:47,534 --> 00:09:48,868
saying nothing to your partner
about it.
237
00:09:51,434 --> 00:09:52,767
Hello.
238
00:09:52,934 --> 00:09:54,067
Mike, where's the still?
239
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,601
That still belongs
to me now, hoss.
240
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,100
A phone call would have been
sufficed, like, "Hey, I'm going
241
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,667
to get the still."
- You walked off
and left me
242
00:10:03,834 --> 00:10:06,567
stranded in the freaking woods,
I don't owe you nothing.
243
00:10:06,734 --> 00:10:07,999
Man, you're the one
that screwed up
244
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,767
that order, didn't do what
you really needed to have done,
245
00:10:09,934 --> 00:10:11,167
and cost us a lot of
time and money.
246
00:10:11,334 --> 00:10:12,767
You're the one that said
it was over with.
247
00:10:12,934 --> 00:10:15,567
You got all your other stills
hoarded up in your shop.
248
00:10:15,734 --> 00:10:18,567
That one right there,
I took to Tennessee.
249
00:10:18,734 --> 00:10:20,167
I ain't bringing
that still back.
250
00:10:20,334 --> 00:10:22,000
You know, I lost $2,000
over that fake order
251
00:10:22,167 --> 00:10:24,000
that he didn't
really do his homework on.
252
00:10:24,167 --> 00:10:26,501
Now my part of the still.
Mike owes me a lot of money.
253
00:10:26,667 --> 00:10:28,367
I'm going to make liquor
on my own, son.
254
00:10:28,534 --> 00:10:29,601
Adios.
255
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,400
What a prick.
256
00:10:33,667 --> 00:10:35,567
It looks like
I'm a free agent now.
257
00:10:35,734 --> 00:10:37,667
Well, that's the way
he wants it to be.
258
00:10:37,834 --> 00:10:38,834
That's the way
it's going to be.
259
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,300
So, I'm going to take
some time, regroup,
260
00:10:40,467 --> 00:10:41,600
figure out what
I'm going to do.
261
00:10:41,601 --> 00:10:43,000
Looks like Jerry Benson will be
in the market for
262
00:10:43,167 --> 00:10:44,067
a new partner.
263
00:10:44,234 --> 00:10:46,100
Huh.
What a day.
264
00:10:52,767 --> 00:10:55,767
2
Here we go, Joshua.
You hanging in there all right?
265
00:10:55,934 --> 00:10:57,200
I reckon, man.
266
00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:58,868
That leg ain't gonna
buckle on you, is it?
267
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:00,167
Nah, [bleep].
268
00:11:00,334 --> 00:11:01,567
It's just a leg.
We good.
269
00:11:01,734 --> 00:11:03,000
Can you make it down
this little drop?
270
00:11:03,167 --> 00:11:04,567
We're going to, regardless.
271
00:11:04,734 --> 00:11:07,267
I got a deal of a lifetime that
I'm trying to fulfill,
272
00:11:07,434 --> 00:11:08,901
but I don't have
the time to do it.
273
00:11:09,067 --> 00:11:11,200
It's too much work
for one person right now.
274
00:11:11,367 --> 00:11:14,267
And with everything that Digger
has going on right now,
275
00:11:14,434 --> 00:11:16,901
the fact that he's willing to
help me says a lot.
276
00:11:17,067 --> 00:11:19,200
- Here you go, son.
- Is that Big Sloppy?
277
00:11:19,367 --> 00:11:20,667
That's what's left of her.
278
00:11:20,834 --> 00:11:23,968
Man, I've heard you talk about
this still for years,
279
00:11:24,133 --> 00:11:26,300
but I ain't never got to
be around it.
280
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:28,601
Well, you know, me and Mark
and Kelly and Amanda,
281
00:11:28,767 --> 00:11:30,767
we've got a big-ass
still site set up,
282
00:11:30,934 --> 00:11:32,801
but it's operational.
It's making our liquor.
283
00:11:32,968 --> 00:11:34,467
I can't take Josh up there,
284
00:11:34,634 --> 00:11:37,400
so we're going to an old still
site that we kind of abandoned.
285
00:11:37,567 --> 00:11:39,467
How many gallons is this?
286
00:11:39,634 --> 00:11:41,467
Sloppy's a six-barrel.
287
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:44,467
Six barrels, that means
50 gallons a barrel,
288
00:11:44,634 --> 00:11:46,067
so what does it make her?
289
00:11:46,234 --> 00:11:47,501
She a 300-gallon barrel.
290
00:11:47,667 --> 00:11:49,467
You know what that means?
291
00:11:49,634 --> 00:11:51,701
That means we got our work cut
out for us, because we got to
292
00:11:51,868 --> 00:11:53,100
come up with 80 gallons.
293
00:11:53,267 --> 00:11:55,667
I've heard stories about
Big Sloppy for years,
294
00:11:55,834 --> 00:11:58,000
and then seeing it and being
here and getting to make
295
00:11:58,167 --> 00:12:00,367
this run, this is legendary.
296
00:12:00,534 --> 00:12:02,200
Here comes the fun part.
297
00:12:05,868 --> 00:12:08,367
Brand-new totes.
Get that backside.
298
00:12:08,534 --> 00:12:09,567
Here we go.
299
00:12:11,701 --> 00:12:13,701
We ain't even used these yet.
300
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,567
All right, every one of
you buckets, they've got--
301
00:12:18,734 --> 00:12:21,167
they stuff already in it?
- Ah, some bugs and [bleep].
302
00:12:21,334 --> 00:12:22,868
Don't worry about that.
Bug don't want your liquor,
303
00:12:23,033 --> 00:12:24,567
no man will.
304
00:12:24,734 --> 00:12:25,767
You know, 80 gallons
of liquor,
305
00:12:25,934 --> 00:12:27,501
that's not a stretch
for Big Sloppy.
306
00:12:27,667 --> 00:12:30,767
She runs out 35, 40 gallons
every time you fire her up.
307
00:12:30,934 --> 00:12:32,968
Maybe a little bit more
once it's tempered down to
308
00:12:33,133 --> 00:12:34,166
100 proof.
309
00:12:34,167 --> 00:12:36,467
But we'll get Josh to where
he needs to be.
310
00:12:36,634 --> 00:12:38,467
Let me tell you something--
311
00:12:38,634 --> 00:12:40,467
I can't tell you how much
I appreciate you being there
312
00:12:40,634 --> 00:12:43,167
for me.
- Well, I expect
the same out of you, hoss.
313
00:12:43,334 --> 00:12:44,634
You're like
a big brother to me.
314
00:12:44,801 --> 00:12:47,601
Well, like I said, I'm taking
the time to try to get you in
315
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:49,367
a better place
and get you a routine
316
00:12:49,534 --> 00:12:51,100
and get you a little tempo.
317
00:12:51,267 --> 00:12:55,667
Now, going forward, at this
point, you're obligated to me.
318
00:12:55,834 --> 00:12:57,767
- I'm obligated to you?
- You're obligated to me.
319
00:12:57,934 --> 00:12:59,067
- All right.
- You've been over there
320
00:12:59,234 --> 00:13:00,501
and seen what
me and Mark's a-facing.
321
00:13:00,667 --> 00:13:01,901
Talking about all the corn?
322
00:13:02,067 --> 00:13:03,267
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
323
00:13:03,434 --> 00:13:04,767
- So what I'm gonna
need you to do...
- Yeah?
324
00:13:04,934 --> 00:13:07,067
...when I got a load of corn
going to Carolinas,
325
00:13:07,234 --> 00:13:08,501
you're gonna come deliver it.
326
00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:11,567
I'll pay for your fuel,
and I'll give you
327
00:13:11,734 --> 00:13:12,801
a little money
for your time, too.
328
00:13:12,968 --> 00:13:14,901
I'm not gonna make you
do it for nothing.
329
00:13:15,067 --> 00:13:16,167
But whatever you're doing,
330
00:13:16,334 --> 00:13:18,501
you gotta drop it
for me and Mark.
331
00:13:18,667 --> 00:13:20,167
- I'd do that anyway.
- All right.
332
00:13:20,334 --> 00:13:21,501
That's all I want to hear.
333
00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:24,167
You know, I have agreed
to help Josh, but when
334
00:13:24,334 --> 00:13:26,901
this journey's all over,
he's going to help me as well.
335
00:13:27,067 --> 00:13:28,567
I'm going to need him.
He understands
336
00:13:28,734 --> 00:13:29,701
it's the nature of
the business.
337
00:13:31,567 --> 00:13:33,367
Oh.
338
00:13:33,534 --> 00:13:36,767
Hush dog, man.
You did that on purpose.
339
00:13:36,934 --> 00:13:38,167
I was handing it to you.
You had it.
340
00:13:38,334 --> 00:13:40,367
- You dropped it.
You dropped it.
- Oh, no, no, no.
341
00:13:40,534 --> 00:13:41,801
I never got my hands on it.
342
00:13:41,968 --> 00:13:43,400
If that puts us out,
you just have to get it
343
00:13:43,567 --> 00:13:45,167
out with your hands.
- I swear.
344
00:13:46,267 --> 00:13:47,567
You did that on purpose.
345
00:13:47,734 --> 00:13:50,467
In this business, I feel like
one hand washes the other.
346
00:13:50,634 --> 00:13:53,567
We're all a brotherhood,
and we all help each other out.
347
00:13:53,734 --> 00:13:56,000
Digger asked for me to be
his Carolina corn connection.
348
00:13:56,167 --> 00:13:58,000
The last thing I can do
is tell him no.
349
00:13:58,167 --> 00:14:00,367
He's helping me pull
a rabbit out of a hat.
350
00:14:00,534 --> 00:14:01,968
I'm going to be there to do
the same for him.
351
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,467
Well, hopefully this little
run that you need to get done,
352
00:14:06,634 --> 00:14:07,801
it's going to get you to
a better point.
353
00:14:09,767 --> 00:14:11,100
We'll tarp this thing up, too.
354
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:13,100
I don't want to get any more
leaves and bugs in here
355
00:14:13,267 --> 00:14:14,267
than I have to.
356
00:14:14,434 --> 00:14:16,267
We just let that rehydrate
up on top,
357
00:14:16,434 --> 00:14:17,801
then we'll stir it up.
358
00:14:17,968 --> 00:14:19,100
It'll work just as good.
359
00:14:19,267 --> 00:14:21,200
You don't have to
stir yeast in.
360
00:14:21,367 --> 00:14:24,100
We ain't out of the woods yet,
but now that the mash is
361
00:14:24,267 --> 00:14:26,868
finally made, hopefully
we'll make the deadline
362
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:28,300
and make some money.
363
00:14:28,467 --> 00:14:31,167
Well, we're gonna get
you across that finish line,
364
00:14:31,334 --> 00:14:33,000
I promise you.
All right?
365
00:14:33,167 --> 00:14:34,199
All right, big dog.
366
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,467
Cover these up and get
the hell out of here.
367
00:14:38,467 --> 00:14:39,501
You go first.
368
00:14:39,667 --> 00:14:41,667
I'll break your fall if
you come backwards.
369
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:46,267
You know, now that I've given
that cap back to Mark Rogers,
370
00:14:46,434 --> 00:14:48,400
it feels good, you know,
to start over with
371
00:14:48,567 --> 00:14:50,000
a fresh slate.
372
00:14:50,167 --> 00:14:52,267
I'm back here with
my old partner, Daniel.
373
00:14:52,434 --> 00:14:53,667
I'm here to make good liquor.
374
00:14:53,834 --> 00:14:56,367
I'm leaving all the feuding
over on the other side
375
00:14:56,534 --> 00:14:57,667
of the mountain.
376
00:14:57,834 --> 00:15:00,267
Well, old man,
I did what you asked.
377
00:15:00,434 --> 00:15:02,167
I put it all to bed, man.
378
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:05,100
I appreciate it, and I'm sure
that he'll appreciate it, too.
379
00:15:05,267 --> 00:15:07,601
It's time to turn over
a new leaf, brother.
380
00:15:07,767 --> 00:15:09,100
It is.
We need to get in the woods
381
00:15:09,267 --> 00:15:10,200
and make some liquor.
382
00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:12,000
Well, I don't know where...
383
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,267
to make no liquor around here
no more, man.
384
00:15:15,434 --> 00:15:17,400
I ain't been over here
in so many years,
385
00:15:17,567 --> 00:15:19,000
it's not even funny.
386
00:15:19,167 --> 00:15:21,501
I know a good one
that ain't never been burnt,
387
00:15:21,667 --> 00:15:23,501
and it's hard as hell to find.
388
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:25,367
Well, let's go
look at it, man.
389
00:15:25,534 --> 00:15:27,767
Me and Daniel, we're good to
work with each other.
390
00:15:27,934 --> 00:15:30,868
First things first, we got to
go find us a still site.
391
00:15:31,033 --> 00:15:32,901
Let's go find some
Tennessee water.
392
00:15:33,067 --> 00:15:35,200
Been a long time ago,
almost 10 years ago,
393
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:37,868
we was running hard together,
and, you know, this is like
394
00:15:38,033 --> 00:15:39,567
the first day all over again.
395
00:15:39,734 --> 00:15:42,067
It's just going to take a lot
for me to get back used to,
396
00:15:42,234 --> 00:15:45,000
you know, being back over here
and, you know, teaming back up
397
00:15:45,167 --> 00:15:46,266
with you a little bit.
398
00:15:46,267 --> 00:15:48,167
It ain't that I don't,
you know, trust you 100%,
399
00:15:48,334 --> 00:15:50,167
but it's just kind
of, you know...
400
00:15:50,334 --> 00:15:52,701
- Awkward a little?
- Little awkward to me.
401
00:15:52,868 --> 00:15:54,567
Well, of course,
you know,
402
00:15:54,734 --> 00:15:56,267
I've been married to
Jerry for so long.
403
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,667
You know, a moonshine
relationship
404
00:16:00,834 --> 00:16:02,066
is a pure commitment.
405
00:16:02,067 --> 00:16:04,367
It's almost like being married
to that person, you know?
406
00:16:04,534 --> 00:16:07,300
I mean, that's your partner
in crime, so to speak.
407
00:16:07,467 --> 00:16:10,567
I know we once run a whole
bunch of good liquor together,
408
00:16:10,734 --> 00:16:12,200
and I'm pretty sure
we still can.
409
00:16:12,367 --> 00:16:14,000
Me and Daniel,
it's almost like trying to
410
00:16:14,167 --> 00:16:15,167
get back with an ex.
411
00:16:15,334 --> 00:16:16,968
Golly, you know, we stayed
mad at each other
412
00:16:17,133 --> 00:16:19,067
for a little while, but we've
always loved each other.
413
00:16:19,234 --> 00:16:21,567
We just had to go separate ways
for a while.
414
00:16:21,734 --> 00:16:23,167
But it's time to rekindle
that flame.
415
00:16:24,767 --> 00:16:28,367
Well, what say we?
416
00:16:28,534 --> 00:16:31,267
I hope
it's a suitable spot.
Who knows?
417
00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:35,100
Well, you got the laurel
thickets in here, don't you?
418
00:16:35,267 --> 00:16:38,467
I love that stuff.
That's good cover.
419
00:16:38,634 --> 00:16:40,067
Well, it's been a long
time since I've been on
420
00:16:40,234 --> 00:16:41,267
Tennessee ground.
421
00:16:41,434 --> 00:16:43,801
When Mike and I split up
as partners, it was
422
00:16:43,968 --> 00:16:45,968
a lot different
than it is right now.
423
00:16:46,133 --> 00:16:49,367
And I'm going to try my best to
make this work and be able to
424
00:16:49,534 --> 00:16:50,434
work together in the woods
425
00:16:50,601 --> 00:16:52,300
and make a whole lot of
good liquor.
426
00:16:52,467 --> 00:16:54,167
- There's
a spring lizard.
- Yeah, buddy.
427
00:16:54,334 --> 00:16:55,868
Boy, this is pretty in here,
ain't it?
428
00:16:56,033 --> 00:16:57,467
Yep.
When you got spring lizards
429
00:16:57,634 --> 00:16:59,067
and branch minnows...
430
00:16:59,234 --> 00:17:00,667
- You can
drank it, can't you?
- ...you can drank it.
431
00:17:02,601 --> 00:17:05,367
Let's see if it's still
as good as it used to be.
432
00:17:05,534 --> 00:17:07,667
The stream that's feeding
the water supply is
433
00:17:07,834 --> 00:17:09,367
good limestone spring water.
434
00:17:09,534 --> 00:17:10,601
Man drank that.
435
00:17:10,767 --> 00:17:11,667
You ain't got to worry
about it.
436
00:17:11,834 --> 00:17:12,933
That's exactly right.
437
00:17:12,934 --> 00:17:16,067
For making moonshine
and brandies, you can't beat
438
00:17:16,234 --> 00:17:18,100
limestone spring water
from Tennessee.
439
00:17:18,267 --> 00:17:19,868
Does this run about
all the time?
440
00:17:20,033 --> 00:17:22,000
- All the time,
year-round.
- You do know that?
441
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:23,466
- Yes, sir.
- Well...
442
00:17:23,467 --> 00:17:26,367
- Yep.
- ...it would definitely work
to cool a worm
443
00:17:26,534 --> 00:17:28,300
and make mash, won't it?
- Yep.
444
00:17:28,467 --> 00:17:30,868
That water's sweet.
It's got a sweet taste to it.
445
00:17:31,033 --> 00:17:32,467
It does.
It's good.
446
00:17:33,567 --> 00:17:37,300
Mike, right up here is this
flat spot I was talking about.
447
00:17:37,467 --> 00:17:39,801
- What do you
think about this?
- Boy, howdy.
448
00:17:39,968 --> 00:17:41,567
Now, this is a pretty spot.
449
00:17:42,901 --> 00:17:44,567
You know, we ain't been
together in a long time,
450
00:17:44,734 --> 00:17:46,767
but I always could
trust your judgment.
451
00:17:46,934 --> 00:17:49,767
- Yeah.
- This is a good-looking
spot, Daniel.
452
00:17:49,934 --> 00:17:51,200
I don't care what nobody says.
453
00:17:51,367 --> 00:17:53,200
With Daniel, you pretty much
know to expect
454
00:17:53,367 --> 00:17:56,067
number one, he's a little slow.
455
00:17:56,234 --> 00:17:58,100
He's going to be 30 minutes
late everywhere he's at.
456
00:17:59,267 --> 00:18:00,901
But he's a dang good guy.
457
00:18:01,067 --> 00:18:02,467
And hey, you can't knock him
for that.
458
00:18:02,634 --> 00:18:04,100
- You like it?
- I think we need to go
459
00:18:04,267 --> 00:18:05,901
get some materials
and get in here
460
00:18:06,067 --> 00:18:08,601
and get set up, get to running
liquor just as quick as we can.
461
00:18:08,767 --> 00:18:11,400
- I agree.
- To a new, old beginning.
462
00:18:11,567 --> 00:18:13,100
- How about that?
- That suits me.
463
00:18:13,267 --> 00:18:14,601
Heck yeah, son.
464
00:18:16,467 --> 00:18:18,734
We'll let him get on back
up ahead of me a little bit.
465
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,100
We found this guy,
Brandon, creeping around
466
00:18:23,267 --> 00:18:26,100
our still site, and, uh,
well, he's been asking a lot of
467
00:18:26,267 --> 00:18:27,701
suspicious questions.
468
00:18:27,868 --> 00:18:30,901
So I'm gonna follow him around,
because something just ain't
469
00:18:31,067 --> 00:18:32,334
adding up right here to me.
470
00:18:34,801 --> 00:18:37,167
Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey,
he's pulling off somewhere.
471
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,400
What is this?
472
00:18:44,567 --> 00:18:46,634
Right there, I think
I'll do all right.
473
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,467
Oh, they got a-- just got
a load of grain right there.
474
00:18:52,634 --> 00:18:54,067
Pallet full of it.
475
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:57,667
He's not doing anything.
476
00:18:57,834 --> 00:19:00,667
Talking on his phone while
somebody else loads him up.
477
00:19:00,834 --> 00:19:02,133
Huh.
478
00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:06,767
I really wonder what Brandon's
gonna do with all that grain.
479
00:19:08,968 --> 00:19:10,100
Let's see where he goes.
480
00:19:11,667 --> 00:19:12,667
We'll keep following him.
481
00:19:16,868 --> 00:19:19,100
Whoa, looks like this guy's
making another turn
482
00:19:20,267 --> 00:19:21,400
off the main road.
483
00:19:21,567 --> 00:19:22,667
Yes, sir.
484
00:19:28,667 --> 00:19:31,000
We'll pull off over here
and just wait.
485
00:19:32,467 --> 00:19:36,467
I keep following Brandon,
and lo and behold, he pulls off
486
00:19:36,634 --> 00:19:38,567
another place.
Looks like it's going down
487
00:19:38,734 --> 00:19:40,200
onto some
private property,
488
00:19:40,367 --> 00:19:42,200
so I gotta be real careful here.
489
00:19:43,267 --> 00:19:46,367
I cannot believe
what I'm seeing right now.
490
00:19:46,534 --> 00:19:49,367
He picked up grain,
and now he's running off
491
00:19:49,534 --> 00:19:51,067
down into the woods?
492
00:19:51,234 --> 00:19:52,701
That's what I do
when I pick up my grain,
493
00:19:52,868 --> 00:19:54,100
and I'm heading to
a still site.
494
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,467
It's kind of looking like
Brandon might be making liquor.
495
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Oh, there he is right there.
496
00:20:04,467 --> 00:20:06,667
There we go.
A little distance.
497
00:20:10,767 --> 00:20:12,667
Dang, I don't want to let him
get so far ahead
498
00:20:12,834 --> 00:20:14,400
he makes a turn and I lose him.
499
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:18,901
Oh, he's turning in.
500
00:20:21,367 --> 00:20:23,701
I keep following Brandon,
and he pulls
501
00:20:23,868 --> 00:20:25,467
right off the road.
502
00:20:25,634 --> 00:20:29,000
I'm gonna kind of walk on back,
see what I can't come up with.
503
00:20:32,367 --> 00:20:33,767
Got to stay out of sight.
504
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,601
Oh, my God!
I'm not believing this!
505
00:20:42,868 --> 00:20:43,868
They're loading up liquor.
506
00:20:47,801 --> 00:20:49,601
2
- Well, there's Tickle.
- Yeah, that's Tickle.
507
00:20:49,767 --> 00:20:51,501
I hope he's got good answers
for the questions.
508
00:20:52,968 --> 00:20:54,367
Tell you what, fellas,
509
00:20:54,534 --> 00:20:57,000
Brandon ain't who we
thought he was.
510
00:20:57,167 --> 00:20:59,667
He was going down the road,
and I was following him, right?
511
00:20:59,834 --> 00:21:02,000
He pulls up to this old
warehouse-looking place.
512
00:21:02,167 --> 00:21:04,501
Two fellas out there,
look, they're loading
513
00:21:04,667 --> 00:21:07,067
the back end of his truck
full of grain bags.
514
00:21:07,234 --> 00:21:08,501
He never touched
a bag of grain.
515
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:13,701
After that, he takes
and goes off, and he runs off
516
00:21:13,868 --> 00:21:17,601
into a dirt road down,
going down into the woods.
517
00:21:17,767 --> 00:21:19,667
The only thing I don't know
is what's down there.
518
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:22,501
I followed him to a farm,
519
00:21:22,667 --> 00:21:24,400
and he's picking
liquor up there.
520
00:21:24,567 --> 00:21:25,968
Picking liquor up at the farm?
521
00:21:26,133 --> 00:21:26,968
At the farm.
522
00:21:27,133 --> 00:21:28,100
Look, I got some pictures of
523
00:21:28,267 --> 00:21:29,567
him picking the liquor up
right here.
524
00:21:31,601 --> 00:21:33,868
I've got to tell y'all,
this guy's definitely part of
525
00:21:34,033 --> 00:21:35,667
a moonshine operation.
526
00:21:35,834 --> 00:21:38,067
So this guy, Brandon,
he shows up at our still site.
527
00:21:38,234 --> 00:21:39,767
We find out that
he's hauling moonshine.
528
00:21:39,934 --> 00:21:43,100
He's got liquor in his truck.
He's getting grain, you know.
529
00:21:43,267 --> 00:21:44,300
I mean, something's
going on here.
530
00:21:44,467 --> 00:21:46,100
This guy is just playing us.
531
00:21:46,267 --> 00:21:47,901
This other guy's loading
him up with liquor right there.
532
00:21:48,067 --> 00:21:49,667
And this is all
in the middle of the day?
533
00:21:49,834 --> 00:21:50,901
All in the middle of the day.
534
00:21:51,067 --> 00:21:53,567
Now, this guy's definitely
pulling the strings.
535
00:21:53,734 --> 00:21:55,767
He could have something to do
with them black SUVs.
536
00:21:57,467 --> 00:21:59,367
We know that this guy,
Brandon, is involved in
537
00:21:59,534 --> 00:22:00,968
a moonshine operation.
538
00:22:01,133 --> 00:22:03,000
It's making me wonder if
he hadn't been following us
539
00:22:03,167 --> 00:22:05,167
from the start, and he's got
something to do with
540
00:22:05,334 --> 00:22:07,601
these two guys
and these black SUVs.
541
00:22:07,767 --> 00:22:09,467
Some kind of way he knows
exactly where we at
542
00:22:09,634 --> 00:22:10,801
before we even get there.
543
00:22:10,968 --> 00:22:13,667
Look, right off,
here's what I say we do.
544
00:22:13,834 --> 00:22:15,968
We need to check for trackers
on our vehicles.
545
00:22:16,133 --> 00:22:17,868
You're right.
Absolutely.
546
00:22:18,033 --> 00:22:20,467
Well, you got a shop that's
got a lift on it, don't you?
547
00:22:20,634 --> 00:22:21,767
- Yeah.
- Let's check it out.
548
00:22:21,934 --> 00:22:22,834
Yeah, we need to
go down there.
549
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,533
I think we need to head
in there
550
00:22:24,534 --> 00:22:26,501
and see what we got going on.
So let's roll, let's see
what we can do.
551
00:22:26,667 --> 00:22:28,300
- Let's see
what we can do.
- All right.
552
00:22:35,834 --> 00:22:38,000
This ought to pressurize
our line, won't it?
553
00:22:38,167 --> 00:22:40,467
One would think.
We hope it will, Bubba.
554
00:22:40,634 --> 00:22:43,167
You know, first things first to
the still site, we've got to
555
00:22:43,334 --> 00:22:44,501
grab your piece of
mortar down here.
556
00:22:44,667 --> 00:22:45,801
Hell, let's stop
them together,
557
00:22:45,968 --> 00:22:47,767
we'll just go up there
and lay it where we want it.
558
00:22:47,934 --> 00:22:49,267
- Yeah.
- There we go.
559
00:22:49,434 --> 00:22:52,067
You know, in my opinion,
gravity feeding water is always
560
00:22:52,234 --> 00:22:54,400
the best way to put water
to a still site.
561
00:22:54,567 --> 00:22:56,067
You know, water
don't run uphill.
562
00:22:56,234 --> 00:22:57,701
We need to get up
in a good spot, don't we?
563
00:22:57,868 --> 00:22:58,901
Yeah.
564
00:22:59,067 --> 00:23:00,366
And damn, that right there
565
00:23:00,367 --> 00:23:02,701
would be
a good place, I believe.
- Well, let's try it.
566
00:23:02,868 --> 00:23:05,467
If this was me and Jerry,
he would want to be building
567
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:07,367
some kind of elaborate
water wheel.
568
00:23:07,534 --> 00:23:10,501
Throw a 45 on this end,
put a rock or two right here.
569
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:12,367
- Yeah.
- Pew.
570
00:23:12,534 --> 00:23:14,300
- I believe we'll have water.
- Let's try it.
571
00:23:14,467 --> 00:23:16,667
This is, you know,
way different working
with Daniel.
572
00:23:16,834 --> 00:23:19,267
I don't want to have to sit
here and argue for two hours
573
00:23:19,434 --> 00:23:22,067
with Jerry about how we're going
to get water to the still site
574
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:25,467
when it's plain in sight to see.
575
00:23:25,634 --> 00:23:27,300
Let's see if we got some
wah wah, Daniel.
576
00:23:28,467 --> 00:23:29,567
I hope we got some water.
577
00:23:30,801 --> 00:23:32,467
Oh, I see it bubbling
in the creek.
578
00:23:32,634 --> 00:23:35,667
- Oh, yeah.
- Well, if it's a-pushing.
579
00:23:35,834 --> 00:23:37,167
We got water.
580
00:23:37,334 --> 00:23:39,267
That's all we got to have,
ain't it?
581
00:23:39,434 --> 00:23:40,667
That's a full stream, ain't it?
582
00:23:40,834 --> 00:23:42,567
Yeah, that's got pressure
behind it, too.
583
00:23:42,734 --> 00:23:45,000
Well, it ought to,
be going down 50 foot of that
584
00:23:45,167 --> 00:23:46,767
four-inch pipe.
- Yeah.
585
00:23:46,934 --> 00:23:48,868
That right there'll
fill the worm up.
586
00:23:49,033 --> 00:23:51,601
You know, it feels good to be
back with Daniel, moving on
587
00:23:51,767 --> 00:23:52,934
a little bit from Jerry.
588
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:56,367
We can do stuff the more
practical way of doing things
589
00:23:56,534 --> 00:23:58,267
that works better for us.
590
00:23:58,434 --> 00:24:01,167
You know, this is
an awful good-looking still
591
00:24:01,334 --> 00:24:02,399
you and Jerry built.
592
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,467
Yeah, me and old Jerry built
this pot together.
593
00:24:04,634 --> 00:24:06,167
It's mine fair and square.
594
00:24:06,334 --> 00:24:09,000
The still that me and Daniel's
gonna be using is a still that
595
00:24:09,167 --> 00:24:12,467
me and Jerry built together
that's rightfully half mine.
596
00:24:12,634 --> 00:24:14,868
So I got it from the old still
side of mine and Jerry's
597
00:24:15,033 --> 00:24:17,601
and brought here for
me and Daniel to use.
598
00:24:17,767 --> 00:24:19,367
- Right here?
- Right here somewhere,
599
00:24:19,534 --> 00:24:21,501
so we get
everything built up and ready
600
00:24:21,667 --> 00:24:22,701
to rock and roll.
601
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,701
Mike, I'm looking at
a thumper system.
602
00:24:27,868 --> 00:24:29,267
I'm looking at a worm.
603
00:24:29,434 --> 00:24:31,667
I'm looking at a pot,
and you've got a damn pipe
604
00:24:31,834 --> 00:24:33,567
a-hanging where that cap's
supposed to be.
605
00:24:33,734 --> 00:24:35,000
- Yeah.
- Where's our cap?
606
00:24:36,267 --> 00:24:38,200
Oh, my God, dude.
607
00:24:40,968 --> 00:24:41,968
Mm.
608
00:24:44,167 --> 00:24:45,167
Where's the cap at?
609
00:24:46,367 --> 00:24:47,868
Jerry's shop, obviously.
610
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:50,801
You know, this cap is
specifically made for
611
00:24:50,968 --> 00:24:52,100
this pot here.
612
00:24:52,267 --> 00:24:55,000
You know, it's got a 10-inch
tri-clamp, a dome on it,
613
00:24:55,167 --> 00:24:57,667
and a nice little cap that
goes on top of that for
614
00:24:57,834 --> 00:25:01,601
other reasons and stuff.
So, I need that particular cap.
615
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:03,868
- Well, let's go get it.
- It's the only thing we can do.
616
00:25:04,033 --> 00:25:05,400
But I know he ain't gonna
want to cough it up,
617
00:25:05,567 --> 00:25:07,000
that's for sure.
- Well.
618
00:25:07,167 --> 00:25:08,299
And it's half mine now.
619
00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:10,367
But I'm going to tell you,
just to keep, you know,
620
00:25:11,567 --> 00:25:13,167
hell down.
- Yeah.
621
00:25:14,467 --> 00:25:18,000
I say we just go over there.
I got the code to the door.
622
00:25:18,167 --> 00:25:20,200
I'll slip right in there
and get the pot and wave at him
623
00:25:20,367 --> 00:25:22,200
on his cameras and say adios.
624
00:25:22,367 --> 00:25:24,100
Well, it's not stealing
if it belongs to you.
625
00:25:24,267 --> 00:25:25,434
Absolutely not.
626
00:25:25,601 --> 00:25:27,267
You know, Mike's put to
bed all the turf wars
627
00:25:27,434 --> 00:25:30,267
with Mark Rogers, but with
Jerry, it's a little different.
628
00:25:30,434 --> 00:25:32,567
As far as I'm concerned,
Mike owns the cap,
629
00:25:32,734 --> 00:25:34,400
so I'm in there with him.
630
00:25:34,567 --> 00:25:36,400
We're going to go get that cap,
and we're going to put it
631
00:25:36,567 --> 00:25:38,167
on that still
and make some liquor.
632
00:25:38,334 --> 00:25:40,100
- We're gotta have it.
- I'm going with you.
Let's go get it.
633
00:25:40,267 --> 00:25:41,701
Ain't no need in building
a brand new one.
634
00:25:41,868 --> 00:25:43,200
Nope.
635
00:25:45,667 --> 00:25:47,200
Here in a few hours,
Josh, you're going to have
636
00:25:47,367 --> 00:25:48,801
your liquor in your hands.
637
00:25:48,968 --> 00:25:50,901
Doggone good thing,
because I'm gonna be in trouble
638
00:25:51,067 --> 00:25:52,167
without it, buddy.
639
00:25:52,334 --> 00:25:54,200
It's been a few days since
we made our mash,
640
00:25:54,367 --> 00:25:56,868
but today, we're gonna get
to run Big Sloppy.
641
00:25:57,033 --> 00:25:58,968
Well, if you'll grab that pump
right over there,
642
00:25:59,133 --> 00:26:00,667
and that little fella's
a little heavy, so don't
643
00:26:00,834 --> 00:26:03,467
drop it on your toe.
- I'm under a deadline.
644
00:26:03,634 --> 00:26:05,567
I got no choice but to
make this liquor,
645
00:26:05,734 --> 00:26:07,167
get it done, and get it sold.
646
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,601
All right, we'll just
unplug them one at a time.
647
00:26:10,767 --> 00:26:12,767
- Man, that smells good.
- Good mash.
648
00:26:12,934 --> 00:26:15,167
- Did you taste of it?
- Uh-uh.
649
00:26:15,334 --> 00:26:17,167
It's got a lot of alcohol
in it.
650
00:26:17,334 --> 00:26:18,267
Whoo!
651
00:26:18,434 --> 00:26:19,667
The mash is perfect.
652
00:26:19,834 --> 00:26:21,300
This ain't no fancy recipe.
653
00:26:21,467 --> 00:26:23,667
It's just some corn whiskey,
just some white liquor,
654
00:26:23,834 --> 00:26:25,167
just what the customer ordered.
655
00:26:25,334 --> 00:26:27,000
All right, I'm gonna go
run over here right quick.
656
00:26:29,067 --> 00:26:30,501
It's working now.
657
00:26:30,667 --> 00:26:31,868
[bleep].
658
00:26:32,033 --> 00:26:33,868
- You better get on it.
- Whoo!
659
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
- Couldn't run fast enough.
- It's on now.
660
00:26:38,167 --> 00:26:39,366
This is a big day for me.
661
00:26:39,367 --> 00:26:41,300
It's the first time I've got to
actually make whiskey
662
00:26:41,467 --> 00:26:42,700
with Digger.
663
00:26:42,701 --> 00:26:44,767
We'll light this rascal
and let that mash start
664
00:26:44,934 --> 00:26:45,868
warming up.
665
00:26:46,033 --> 00:26:47,501
I'm just barely gonna
crank it now.
666
00:26:47,667 --> 00:26:49,367
All right, go ahead.
I ain't afraid of it.
667
00:26:51,667 --> 00:26:54,000
Ain't nothing to it now but to
get this baby pasted up
668
00:26:54,167 --> 00:26:55,200
and run some whiskey.
669
00:26:55,367 --> 00:26:57,100
How hot's that keeping it?
670
00:26:57,267 --> 00:26:58,868
I mean, it's warm,
getting warm.
671
00:26:59,033 --> 00:27:02,767
You know, Popcorn always said
he made enough paste to make
672
00:27:02,934 --> 00:27:06,801
every man, woman, and child
in East Tennessee a biscuit.
673
00:27:06,968 --> 00:27:08,267
But I don't know if that's
the case or not,
674
00:27:08,434 --> 00:27:10,100
because every time
a paste needed to be made,
675
00:27:10,267 --> 00:27:12,667
he either told me or JB
to make it.
676
00:27:12,834 --> 00:27:15,267
All right, we're about to
the point of running liquor.
677
00:27:15,434 --> 00:27:17,000
- Here we come.
- She's running, ain't she?
678
00:27:17,167 --> 00:27:19,100
Hey...
679
00:27:19,267 --> 00:27:20,968
that ought to be enough
for your head there, boss.
680
00:27:22,667 --> 00:27:23,868
Throw him over there
toward the creek.
681
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,267
Tell you right now,
a couple days ago, if you
682
00:27:28,434 --> 00:27:30,400
asked me if I was going to be
able to fulfill this order,
683
00:27:30,567 --> 00:27:32,868
I didn't see myself up here
making this run,
684
00:27:33,033 --> 00:27:35,167
especially on Big Sloppy.
But I'm damn thankful
685
00:27:35,334 --> 00:27:36,467
to be here,
and I appreciate it.
686
00:27:36,634 --> 00:27:37,601
Ah, ye of little faith.
687
00:27:38,868 --> 00:27:40,167
I knew I was going to
get it done,
688
00:27:40,334 --> 00:27:41,767
or I wouldn't have said
I could do it.
689
00:27:41,934 --> 00:27:45,000
I just didn't know exactly how
I was going to pull it off.
690
00:27:45,167 --> 00:27:46,868
You know, Josh is trying,
and...
691
00:27:47,033 --> 00:27:48,868
I've coached him best I can.
692
00:27:49,033 --> 00:27:51,868
Josh has to have help.
He can't do this on his own.
693
00:27:52,033 --> 00:27:53,400
You know, a one-barrel still,
yeah,
694
00:27:53,567 --> 00:27:55,200
a man can run one of them
by himself.
695
00:27:55,367 --> 00:27:57,868
But when you get into three,
four-, five-, on up to
696
00:27:58,033 --> 00:28:00,400
ten-barrel still, you know,
those are two-man jobs.
697
00:28:00,567 --> 00:28:03,367
This baby has run perfect.
I love it.
698
00:28:03,534 --> 00:28:05,400
That's what we're after.
699
00:28:05,567 --> 00:28:06,467
It's awful good liquor.
700
00:28:06,634 --> 00:28:07,767
You might not be used to that.
701
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:11,200
- That suit you?
- Whoo!
702
00:28:11,367 --> 00:28:14,267
Mm.
Hold on a minute.
703
00:28:14,434 --> 00:28:16,000
Ooh!
704
00:28:16,167 --> 00:28:17,600
- All right.
- Well, that's done down
705
00:28:17,601 --> 00:28:20,267
to about 90 right there.
- [bleep] that's some
good stuff.
706
00:28:20,434 --> 00:28:22,200
I wouldn't expecting it
to be that stout.
707
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:23,868
You know, we did just fine,
me and you, running
708
00:28:24,033 --> 00:28:25,167
this liquor.
709
00:28:25,334 --> 00:28:26,968
And I'm going to promise you,
you think you can.
710
00:28:27,133 --> 00:28:29,100
You think you're Superman.
711
00:28:29,267 --> 00:28:31,100
But you got to
have you some help.
712
00:28:31,267 --> 00:28:33,267
I definitely need some help.
I got a lot of work to do,
713
00:28:33,434 --> 00:28:34,399
and it's hard to do by myself.
714
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,100
I want you to call this boy
right here.
715
00:28:37,267 --> 00:28:39,467
Tell him I put you
in touch with him.
716
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:42,100
And he needs a partner.
He knows what he's doing.
717
00:28:42,267 --> 00:28:46,000
He can build a still.
He's got it all covered.
718
00:28:46,167 --> 00:28:48,167
You just need to get with him
and get you
719
00:28:48,334 --> 00:28:50,000
a good working relationship.
720
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:53,501
Two equals, not one big me
and little you.
721
00:28:53,667 --> 00:28:55,167
- Yeah.
- Y'all both big.
722
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:57,000
I understand.
723
00:28:57,167 --> 00:28:59,767
You start hauling that liquor
out to the road.
724
00:28:59,934 --> 00:29:01,567
I'll get the copper
pulled apart.
725
00:29:01,734 --> 00:29:04,000
I'll catch up with you
to load here in a minute.
726
00:29:04,167 --> 00:29:06,100
We've got us several buckets
filled up here,
727
00:29:06,267 --> 00:29:09,000
about seven buckets--
all my boxes are checked.
728
00:29:09,167 --> 00:29:10,234
Josh's liquor done.
729
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,767
Josh a partner in his hand
if he'll see to it.
730
00:29:12,934 --> 00:29:16,167
Hopefully, him and this boy get
together, and then they'll form
731
00:29:16,334 --> 00:29:19,100
a friendship and a partnership
and they can help us get
732
00:29:19,267 --> 00:29:20,868
some of this corn out of here
as well.
733
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:27,367
2
- Turn in right here.
- Right here.
734
00:29:27,534 --> 00:29:29,501
I can't just call Jerry
and ask for this cap.
735
00:29:29,667 --> 00:29:31,467
He wouldn't let me have it
for nothing in this world,
736
00:29:31,634 --> 00:29:32,868
knowing it's half mine.
737
00:29:33,033 --> 00:29:35,267
I'd have to fight with him,
argue with him,
738
00:29:35,434 --> 00:29:37,868
and stomp and holler
and cuss and stuff.
739
00:29:38,033 --> 00:29:38,901
I ain't doing that.
740
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,300
There's Jerry.
He's got the door
741
00:29:41,467 --> 00:29:42,701
wide open right now.
- He has.
742
00:29:42,868 --> 00:29:44,467
I'm gonna slip in there
and slip out.
743
00:29:44,634 --> 00:29:46,701
I don't care if I have to cut
a hole in the side of his shop.
744
00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:48,868
I'm going in there and get that
cap and get out,
745
00:29:49,033 --> 00:29:50,567
because I ain't fussing
with him today.
746
00:29:50,734 --> 00:29:52,868
Is he in there, I reckon?
747
00:29:53,033 --> 00:29:54,199
I don't see him.
748
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,000
I don't see him either,
but he's got that door open.
749
00:29:56,167 --> 00:29:58,601
He's usually there.
I know he's up there.
750
00:29:58,767 --> 00:29:59,801
Look, is that Jerry
right there?
751
00:29:59,968 --> 00:30:01,367
That's Jerry
right there, yeah.
752
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,901
I'm gonna wait
till the coast is clear
and he gets gone.
753
00:30:06,067 --> 00:30:09,000
Wait till he comes out
or does something.
754
00:30:09,167 --> 00:30:12,467
- He's outside now.
- Where's he going?
755
00:30:12,634 --> 00:30:14,601
He's going around to that other
building, ain't he?
756
00:30:14,767 --> 00:30:16,567
- Looks like it.
- Get on out of my way
757
00:30:16,734 --> 00:30:18,968
so I can slip in there up under
your nose, Jerry.
758
00:30:19,133 --> 00:30:21,100
You know, Jerry's got
two levels to his shop.
759
00:30:21,267 --> 00:30:22,968
He's got an upper level
and a lower level.
760
00:30:23,133 --> 00:30:25,400
Watch out for me, and let me
know if you see him.
761
00:30:25,567 --> 00:30:26,968
All right, all right, all right.
762
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:31,968
The time it takes him to walk
to that upper shop and back...
763
00:30:33,267 --> 00:30:36,601
I can be inside that other shop
and get that cap and be gone.
764
00:30:39,067 --> 00:30:40,868
Oh, come on.
Where's the thing at?
765
00:30:42,667 --> 00:30:45,000
You better hurry up.
We ain't got long, brother.
766
00:30:48,801 --> 00:30:50,801
What's it look like
out there, Daniel?
767
00:30:50,968 --> 00:30:53,400
Looks like a bunch of junk,
but I don't see Jerry.
768
00:30:55,868 --> 00:30:57,167
I found it.
I found it, Daniel.
769
00:30:57,334 --> 00:30:58,400
Fixing to head that way.
770
00:30:58,567 --> 00:31:00,100
All right, come on out.
771
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,167
Whoa, whoa,
whoa, right there's Jerry.
772
00:31:07,334 --> 00:31:08,467
Right there's Jerry
coming around.
773
00:31:08,634 --> 00:31:09,567
You better get somewhere.
774
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,367
He's on the phone
right there, right?
775
00:31:19,534 --> 00:31:21,501
Talking to somebody.
776
00:31:23,968 --> 00:31:25,667
All right, I'm gonna try
to slip out the back door
777
00:31:25,834 --> 00:31:28,367
and come around
the edge of the shop.
- Be careful.
778
00:31:34,667 --> 00:31:36,601
Where's he at, Daniel?
Where's he at?
779
00:31:36,767 --> 00:31:38,367
Still right in front of
there on the phone.
780
00:31:39,767 --> 00:31:41,834
There's a lot of green,
looks like, between me and you.
781
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,167
I see him moving.
782
00:31:47,901 --> 00:31:49,267
Highlights.
Come on, let's go.
783
00:31:49,434 --> 00:31:50,367
Right now.
784
00:32:02,767 --> 00:32:04,100
Put it in here, I'll help you.
785
00:32:04,267 --> 00:32:06,200
- ...
- Yeah.
786
00:32:06,367 --> 00:32:08,567
- Let's get the heck out of here!
- Come on.
787
00:32:08,734 --> 00:32:10,501
- Roll it around.
- I got it, go, go, go, go, go!
788
00:32:10,667 --> 00:32:11,901
- Get out of here!
- Which way do I go?
789
00:32:12,067 --> 00:32:13,267
- Backwards?
- I don't care.
790
00:32:13,434 --> 00:32:14,367
Just out of here.
791
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,767
That's close.
Let's get out of here.
792
00:32:28,801 --> 00:32:31,467
Well, this truck was at
all the locations.
793
00:32:31,634 --> 00:32:34,300
- Yeah.
- And our boy was at
all the locations, too.
794
00:32:34,467 --> 00:32:35,968
Tickle followed
this Brandon guy,
795
00:32:36,133 --> 00:32:37,266
and then we found out that
796
00:32:37,267 --> 00:32:39,367
he's actually picking up
and delivering moonshine.
797
00:32:39,534 --> 00:32:42,167
So it's no accident
he showed up at our still site.
798
00:32:42,334 --> 00:32:43,868
You know, this guy's
up to no good.
799
00:32:44,033 --> 00:32:46,100
And right now, we need to go
check out our vehicles for
800
00:32:46,267 --> 00:32:47,667
some trackers.
- It could be anywhere.
801
00:32:47,834 --> 00:32:49,667
I don't think they're going to
put it with the engine there.
802
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:51,067
You know?
It's going to be like on this--
803
00:32:51,234 --> 00:32:52,267
Put it where
he can reach it.
804
00:32:52,434 --> 00:32:53,667
Yeah, it's going to be
on this frame.
805
00:32:53,834 --> 00:32:55,767
- It's going to
be on the side.
- Yeah.
806
00:32:55,934 --> 00:32:57,467
We're looking
for anything.
807
00:32:57,634 --> 00:33:00,667
With the technology nowadays,
a tracker could be, I mean,
808
00:33:00,834 --> 00:33:02,100
extremely tiny.
809
00:33:02,267 --> 00:33:04,701
This thing could be
next to impossible to find.
810
00:33:04,868 --> 00:33:06,601
I see nothing.
Nothing at all.
811
00:33:06,767 --> 00:33:09,801
It's impossible.
We need a darn
detector or something.
812
00:33:09,968 --> 00:33:12,868
I got a high-voltage
detector thing.
813
00:33:13,033 --> 00:33:14,367
I don't know if that'll
detect anything.
814
00:33:14,534 --> 00:33:15,567
It's going to be transmitting,
815
00:33:15,734 --> 00:33:17,400
but I don't know about voltage.
816
00:33:17,567 --> 00:33:18,667
Well, I mean,
it's got to have
817
00:33:18,834 --> 00:33:20,801
some sort of
voltage to transmit.
818
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,200
I have this voltage tester,
this high-intensity
819
00:33:24,367 --> 00:33:25,200
voltage tester.
820
00:33:25,367 --> 00:33:26,600
Give a man some room.
821
00:33:26,601 --> 00:33:28,367
I don't know what we're
looking for or where we're
822
00:33:28,534 --> 00:33:29,968
looking for it.
I don't know.
823
00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:32,267
I'm thinking if this thing's
sending out a signal
824
00:33:32,434 --> 00:33:34,868
or a frequency or something,
maybe this will give us
825
00:33:35,033 --> 00:33:36,901
something, you know,
something to go on.
826
00:33:37,067 --> 00:33:38,067
There's a lot of
hiding places.
827
00:33:38,234 --> 00:33:40,400
I don't know.
Uh-oh.
828
00:33:40,567 --> 00:33:42,200
- Something's over here.
- Mm-hmm.
829
00:33:42,367 --> 00:33:44,267
Right here at this bar.
830
00:33:44,434 --> 00:33:45,868
See it.
831
00:33:46,968 --> 00:33:49,868
It's right--
it's right here somewhere.
832
00:33:51,367 --> 00:33:52,901
- It's right here, Henry.
- Yeah, it's right here.
833
00:33:53,067 --> 00:33:54,467
- It's right here.
- What?
834
00:33:54,634 --> 00:33:56,501
- There you go.
- There you go.
835
00:33:56,667 --> 00:33:59,067
- They is
a tracker on it.
- That's got to be it.
836
00:33:59,234 --> 00:34:00,667
- Uh-huh.
- Be easy with it.
837
00:34:00,834 --> 00:34:03,767
Paige reaches up here on top.
What does he find?
838
00:34:03,934 --> 00:34:07,000
There is a tracker
on Tim's truck.
839
00:34:07,167 --> 00:34:08,868
This right here,
this ain't good.
840
00:34:09,033 --> 00:34:11,567
If someone else is more
technical about this,
841
00:34:11,734 --> 00:34:13,267
they might have put
more than one.
842
00:34:13,434 --> 00:34:15,000
You know, maybe
another truck, too.
843
00:34:15,167 --> 00:34:17,901
Yeah, why just single Tim out
to track his truck?
844
00:34:18,067 --> 00:34:19,567
- Right.
- I mean, I wouldn't
put it past him.
845
00:34:19,734 --> 00:34:21,100
I think we ought to
look at mine.
846
00:34:21,267 --> 00:34:23,367
I'll take this down, pull it
out, and we put yours in.
847
00:34:23,534 --> 00:34:26,667
If we assume this guy,
Brandon, is following us,
848
00:34:26,834 --> 00:34:28,767
that makes a whole lot of
pieces of this puzzle start
849
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:29,868
falling into place.
850
00:34:30,033 --> 00:34:31,400
Me and Howard, we get
851
00:34:31,567 --> 00:34:33,767
pulled over in
the middle of the night.
852
00:34:33,934 --> 00:34:35,400
How do they know where me
and Howard were at
853
00:34:35,567 --> 00:34:36,467
on that back road?
854
00:34:36,634 --> 00:34:38,567
They're asking about moonshine.
855
00:34:38,734 --> 00:34:41,100
A tracker.
It explains it.
856
00:34:41,267 --> 00:34:43,267
You think he's on
the same spot?
857
00:34:43,434 --> 00:34:45,567
Same spot was over in here.
858
00:34:45,734 --> 00:34:47,167
Right here on these
little, flat parts.
859
00:34:47,334 --> 00:34:48,467
Top of this .
860
00:34:49,968 --> 00:34:51,901
Gonna be on the side of
this frame somewhere.
861
00:34:54,367 --> 00:34:56,100
Same place, look at that.
862
00:34:56,267 --> 00:34:58,167
You see it?
Man, no way.
863
00:35:00,868 --> 00:35:04,367
I just tracked a man that had
a tracker on my vehicle.
864
00:35:04,534 --> 00:35:06,701
We've only got a short window
of time before Brandon
865
00:35:06,868 --> 00:35:08,400
figures out that
we're on to him.
866
00:35:08,567 --> 00:35:10,767
Now, this guy knows what
we're doing, but I know
867
00:35:10,934 --> 00:35:12,267
where he went into the woods.
868
00:35:12,434 --> 00:35:13,901
I say we go see
what's down there.
869
00:35:17,767 --> 00:35:19,033
2
Feeling good today.
870
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,567
We got the doggone run done
with Digger.
871
00:35:21,734 --> 00:35:23,434
Just got back to
North Carolina.
872
00:35:23,601 --> 00:35:25,434
We're about to meet
my customer, Rick.
873
00:35:25,601 --> 00:35:26,800
We got the liquor made.
874
00:35:26,801 --> 00:35:29,334
Now we got to get back home
with it and make the sale.
875
00:35:29,501 --> 00:35:30,667
If this sale goes right today,
876
00:35:30,834 --> 00:35:32,734
it's going to set me up
for the whole season.
877
00:35:32,901 --> 00:35:34,367
We got a lot of whiskey
to make.
878
00:35:34,534 --> 00:35:35,968
I'm going to have to
find some help.
879
00:35:47,167 --> 00:35:48,567
Rick's super specific.
880
00:35:48,734 --> 00:35:50,868
He knows exactly what he wants,
when he wants it,
881
00:35:51,033 --> 00:35:53,834
how he wants it.
He wants things a certain way.
882
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,767
Told me where to be,
when to be there.
883
00:35:55,934 --> 00:35:57,767
I was there a little early,
thank goodness,
884
00:35:57,934 --> 00:36:00,234
because he was
right on the money.
885
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,934
How are you?
886
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:03,367
You're looking relaxed.
887
00:36:04,367 --> 00:36:05,667
Just waiting on you.
888
00:36:05,834 --> 00:36:06,868
Did you get it?
889
00:36:08,434 --> 00:36:09,434
Right here.
890
00:36:13,667 --> 00:36:16,000
You said just corn whiskey,
that's what that is.
891
00:36:22,601 --> 00:36:23,567
That's what you wanted,
ain't it?
892
00:36:23,734 --> 00:36:25,467
Perfect.
This is perfect.
893
00:36:25,634 --> 00:36:27,367
But now...
894
00:36:27,534 --> 00:36:30,767
you got to make sure you can
give me 80 every week.
895
00:36:30,934 --> 00:36:32,467
80 every week.
I got it.
896
00:36:32,634 --> 00:36:34,000
- You can handle it?
- Oh, yeah.
897
00:36:34,167 --> 00:36:36,267
- Oh, yeah.
- Well, the quality is perfect.
898
00:36:36,434 --> 00:36:37,334
Quality is perfect.
899
00:36:37,501 --> 00:36:40,400
What I got... for you.
900
00:36:42,868 --> 00:36:43,868
I trust you.
901
00:36:46,267 --> 00:36:48,000
Son of a bitch.
902
00:36:48,167 --> 00:36:50,467
I think I impressed Rick
actually pulling it off
903
00:36:50,634 --> 00:36:52,567
and showing up with the liquor.
I don't know.
904
00:36:52,734 --> 00:36:54,501
I think he had
his doubts about me.
905
00:36:54,667 --> 00:36:57,868
Next week, same day,
same place?
906
00:36:58,033 --> 00:36:59,434
- Exactly, right here.
- Let's do it then.
907
00:36:59,601 --> 00:37:00,868
We got it.
Thank you, buddy.
908
00:37:01,033 --> 00:37:01,934
Thank goodness for Digger
909
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,234
helping me get
this first order done.
910
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:04,868
If it hadn't been for him,
911
00:37:05,033 --> 00:37:06,434
I don't know
what I'd have done.
912
00:37:06,601 --> 00:37:08,868
And he gave me a phone number
for somebody else that's
913
00:37:09,033 --> 00:37:11,033
looking for a partner,
and hopefully they're going to
914
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,400
help me fulfill the next order.
915
00:37:14,367 --> 00:37:15,767
I'm telling you, there's
going to be more than one
916
00:37:15,934 --> 00:37:16,934
involved, there ain't
going to be just one.
917
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:18,233
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
918
00:37:18,234 --> 00:37:19,834
Well, there's
more than one involved now.
919
00:37:20,834 --> 00:37:22,567
They done tracked us where
we was getting grain,
920
00:37:22,734 --> 00:37:26,367
and they sent the same guys
that pulled me and Howard over?
921
00:37:26,534 --> 00:37:28,834
Either way, he's opened up
a can of whoop-ass, is all I can
922
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,367
tell him.
- Yes, he has.
923
00:37:30,534 --> 00:37:33,334
Now, we found out that Brandon
had trackers on Tim's truck
924
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:34,634
and my truck.
925
00:37:34,801 --> 00:37:36,601
We got rid of these things,
and we're going to go
926
00:37:36,767 --> 00:37:39,434
and check out a possible
still site of his.
927
00:37:39,601 --> 00:37:41,267
He was right off of this road,
928
00:37:42,334 --> 00:37:43,868
down here on the left.
929
00:37:44,033 --> 00:37:45,601
Looks like we ought to
pull off somewhere right here
930
00:37:45,767 --> 00:37:47,234
where it broke down.
- Yeah, yeah.
931
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,100
- Oh, back up that gate.
- There's a gate
right there.
932
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:50,167
Yeah.
933
00:37:50,334 --> 00:37:51,501
Yeah, that's good.
934
00:37:51,667 --> 00:37:53,367
Oh, yeah.
Gets us better out
of sight right there.
935
00:37:53,534 --> 00:37:55,467
Yeah, get's us out of sight,
all right.
936
00:37:56,767 --> 00:37:57,767
Uh-huh.
937
00:37:59,567 --> 00:38:00,667
Hey, he's just right up here.
938
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:05,133
What we gonna do if they
come out of there?
939
00:38:07,601 --> 00:38:09,567
Yeah, we gonna get to the root
of it a whole lot quicker
940
00:38:09,734 --> 00:38:11,267
if he comes out here.
- It's time
to nip it, man.
941
00:38:11,434 --> 00:38:13,033
Shouldn't have let that
guy down there on the site to
942
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,100
start with.
- Well, he rolled upon us.
943
00:38:15,267 --> 00:38:16,367
What we gonna do?
944
00:38:16,534 --> 00:38:18,133
We should've just
jumped him then.
945
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:19,868
Look at that sign.
No trespassing.
946
00:38:21,968 --> 00:38:23,467
That was an old car
right there, man.
947
00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:25,567
- Yep.
- Somebody right there.
948
00:38:25,734 --> 00:38:26,601
Hm.
949
00:38:28,267 --> 00:38:29,467
Old camper.
950
00:38:29,634 --> 00:38:31,133
Yeah, I don't like this
at all with that camper.
951
00:38:32,234 --> 00:38:33,567
See that?
952
00:38:33,734 --> 00:38:35,467
This looks like something
somebody's been draggin.
953
00:38:35,634 --> 00:38:38,067
- Uh-huh.
- We get to following
this road on in,
954
00:38:38,234 --> 00:38:41,033
and it winds up turning
into a footpath.
955
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,501
And we don't know if
it's a deer trail
956
00:38:42,667 --> 00:38:44,467
or what it is.
We got to keep on
957
00:38:44,634 --> 00:38:46,767
pressing forwards
down into these woods
958
00:38:46,934 --> 00:38:48,033
and see where this thing goes.
959
00:38:49,934 --> 00:38:51,100
I see the creek
right there.
960
00:38:52,567 --> 00:38:54,167
That's some good-looking water
right there, ain't it?
961
00:38:55,434 --> 00:38:56,467
Look at that over there.
962
00:38:57,868 --> 00:38:59,334
That's
a still site, yeah.
963
00:38:59,501 --> 00:39:01,667
That's a big still site.
964
00:39:04,133 --> 00:39:06,133
That's a whole lot of stills
in there.
965
00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:08,133
It runs all the way
across the creek.
966
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:09,367
You see anybody
in there working?
967
00:39:09,534 --> 00:39:10,767
I can't tell.
968
00:39:10,934 --> 00:39:12,234
We're going down
through the woods.
969
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,267
Next thing you know,
it's coming up to a creek.
970
00:39:14,434 --> 00:39:16,467
Nobody's down working on that.
Let's get a little closer.
971
00:39:16,634 --> 00:39:18,868
And you know what's at a creek?
A big old still site.
972
00:39:19,033 --> 00:39:21,467
Look, they got it camoed up.
Got tarps pulled up.
973
00:39:21,634 --> 00:39:22,968
I know,
I'm looking at that.
974
00:39:23,133 --> 00:39:25,100
Wait, Henry, Henry,
Henry, Henry.
975
00:39:25,267 --> 00:39:27,133
It's a trip wire, man.
It's a trip wire.
976
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:28,501
- Ah, damn.
- It's a trip wire.
977
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:30,267
You almost broke it.
978
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:32,767
- Tied to this tree.
- Uh-huh.
979
00:39:32,934 --> 00:39:35,100
So as we were going down
this ridge line, you know,
980
00:39:35,267 --> 00:39:37,100
getting a little bit closer,
trying to get some eyes on
981
00:39:37,267 --> 00:39:40,367
this thing, I just did notice
a trip wire.
982
00:39:40,534 --> 00:39:43,000
Henry had just touched it,
but he didn't break it.
983
00:39:43,167 --> 00:39:44,501
Here's another wire
running right here.
984
00:39:44,667 --> 00:39:46,234
It runs all the way
across the creek.
985
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,567
That way, they cover it
from every end.
986
00:39:47,734 --> 00:39:49,434
They cover all this whole
side here.
987
00:39:49,601 --> 00:39:51,000
The other end would come in.
988
00:39:51,167 --> 00:39:53,167
I mean, that's a lot of
money right there.
989
00:39:53,334 --> 00:39:54,834
- Oh, yeah.
- You got a setup
like that?
990
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,300
- Mm-hmm.
- I mean,
you look at it.
991
00:39:56,467 --> 00:39:59,033
They go from smaller and just
steadily keep getting bigger.
992
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,167
It sort of reminds me back in
the old days, Daddy was
993
00:40:01,334 --> 00:40:02,600
telling me about it.
994
00:40:02,601 --> 00:40:04,667
Moonshiners would get together
in the form of a union where
995
00:40:04,834 --> 00:40:07,100
they all got together
and worked together trying to
996
00:40:07,267 --> 00:40:09,367
get liquor in and out of
Franklin County.
997
00:40:09,534 --> 00:40:11,234
I'll tell you what, man,
I'm starting to have deja vu
998
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,868
about all this stuff,
working with my dad all these
999
00:40:13,033 --> 00:40:15,334
years, and it started to remind
me of Dad used to tell me about
1000
00:40:15,501 --> 00:40:17,868
a moonshine syndicate and what
these guys would do.
1001
00:40:18,033 --> 00:40:18,901
They would form a partnership
1002
00:40:19,067 --> 00:40:20,167
where they took care
of each other.
1003
00:40:22,267 --> 00:40:24,033
Be careful of that, Henry.
1004
00:40:25,234 --> 00:40:26,934
Wah, wah, wah.
1005
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:28,934
- [bleep]
- Hear that?
1006
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:30,167
- Uh-huh.
- Gunshots.
1007
00:40:31,334 --> 00:40:33,167
- What the hell?
- I wonder if it's a shotgun man.
1008
00:40:33,334 --> 00:40:34,934
They might have a shotgun man
up on the ridge.
1009
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,601
That ain't no shotgun.
That's a big ol' AR-15.
1010
00:40:40,033 --> 00:40:41,767
We might have just triggered
that tripwire.
1011
00:40:41,934 --> 00:40:44,167
Somebody might know
that we're in here right now.
1012
00:40:44,334 --> 00:40:46,067
People are letting us know.
Come on.
1013
00:40:46,234 --> 00:40:47,267
We got to get out of here.
1014
00:40:47,434 --> 00:40:48,968
Hey, we touched this wire.
1015
00:40:49,133 --> 00:40:50,868
Then we start hearing gunfire.
1016
00:40:51,033 --> 00:40:52,601
You know, we got to
get out of here.
1017
00:40:52,767 --> 00:40:54,467
And, you know, we'll deal
with this later.
1018
00:40:54,634 --> 00:40:56,434
I'll tell you one thing,
that guy Brandon,
1019
00:40:56,601 --> 00:40:58,234
we're gonna open a can of
whoop-ass on him.
1020
00:41:00,767 --> 00:41:03,467
I got a million things to do,
and I don't got time just to
1021
00:41:03,634 --> 00:41:04,968
sit here and wait right now.
1022
00:41:05,133 --> 00:41:06,968
Sure hope Digger's right
about this guy.
1023
00:41:09,267 --> 00:41:12,367
This is my homemade,
peated Islay moonshine.
1024
00:41:12,534 --> 00:41:14,734
- I knew I liked this fella.
- Yeah.
1025
00:41:14,901 --> 00:41:17,367
Digger and I, we've been
working on this idea to smoke
1026
00:41:17,534 --> 00:41:21,267
our corn with peat the way
they do scotch.
1027
00:41:21,434 --> 00:41:23,467
Everybody's feeling
really on edge.
1028
00:41:23,634 --> 00:41:25,367
- We got a problem?
- Problem?
1029
00:41:25,534 --> 00:41:26,667
Come here and look at this.
1030
00:41:28,601 --> 00:41:29,601
That's Brandon.
