00:00:09,010 --> 00:00:10,309
[Digger]
As the weather warms up,
2
00:00:10,311 --> 00:00:13,812
it looks like America is
on financially shaky ground
3
00:00:13,814 --> 00:00:15,514
Everybody in Appalachia
is feeling
4
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,316
the sting of runaway prices
5
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:21,053
Now's the time
that moonshiners like us
6
00:00:21,055 --> 00:00:23,122
draw back on
our shared heritage
7
00:00:23,124 --> 00:00:24,823
for those lessons
on how to survive
8
00:00:24,825 --> 00:00:27,059
and still provide
our customers
9
00:00:27,061 --> 00:00:28,160
with a good drink.
10
00:00:28,228 --> 00:00:30,763
It's the rise
of the shine economy.
11
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:33,399
[narrator] On this season
of Moonshiners...
12
00:00:33,401 --> 00:00:34,800
Woah, yes, it's liquor.
13
00:00:34,802 --> 00:00:37,403
[Mark] I got us some of tha
damn expensive corn here.
14
00:00:37,405 --> 00:00:41,206
Raw materials and
ingredients, they're
going up astronomically.
15
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:42,541
[Henry] God dang.
16
00:00:42,543 --> 00:00:45,911
Lumber?
It's basically the same price
as gold right now.
17
00:00:46,947 --> 00:00:48,647
This is uncharted
territory right here, Tim.
18
00:00:48,716 --> 00:00:49,848
It's a one of a kind.
19
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,517
[Tim] Nobody even knew
it was a still.
20
00:00:51,519 --> 00:00:54,453
I take glass marbles
and I put them
in the bottom of the pot.
21
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:56,688
[Mark Rogers] I ain't playe
with marbles
since I was in school,
22
00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:58,357
and I wasn't in school much.
23
00:00:58,459 --> 00:01:01,427
Where in the hell
did this casket
with Popcorn in it come from?
24
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:02,728
That's creepy.
25
00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:04,329
You any kin to old Popcorn?
26
00:01:04,331 --> 00:01:05,964
-That's my dad.
-Your daddy?
27
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:07,032
-Yeah.
-Hellfire!
28
00:01:07,134 --> 00:01:08,801
You know, with Solomon being
onboard with us
29
00:01:08,803 --> 00:01:10,335
and that being his dad can
30
00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:12,805
potentially set us up
to sell a lot of liquor.
31
00:01:12,807 --> 00:01:14,006
[grunting]
32
00:01:14,008 --> 00:01:15,507
I love this big, old still.
33
00:01:15,509 --> 00:01:17,810
It's almost too [bleep]
big and massive.
34
00:01:17,812 --> 00:01:20,712
I've been seeing
a strange guy walking
back up toward the spring.
35
00:01:20,714 --> 00:01:23,515
Well, he acted
like he was looking
for something specific.
36
00:01:27,455 --> 00:01:30,622
[Daniel] This right here
is going to change
the ball game, I'm betting.
37
00:01:30,624 --> 00:01:32,357
They're gonna think
we selling Kool-Aid, man.
38
00:01:32,459 --> 00:01:33,859
[Henry] I got a call
from that fire marshal.
39
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:36,128
[fire marshal] Josh Owens,
does that name ring a bell
to you, sir?
40
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:37,663
[Josh] Oh, no!
41
00:01:37,731 --> 00:01:39,064
They've blown our still up.
42
00:01:39,066 --> 00:01:40,132
Oh, what the hell.
43
00:01:40,234 --> 00:01:41,800
[Henry] We're blocked in.
We can't get by.
44
00:01:41,802 --> 00:01:43,034
Who's got us blocked in?
45
00:01:43,036 --> 00:01:45,404
[Daniel] Well, there's only
four buckets sitting here.
46
00:01:45,406 --> 00:01:46,805
Richard,
this still site's burnt,
47
00:01:46,807 --> 00:01:49,007
and we need to get
the hell out of here.
48
00:01:49,009 --> 00:01:51,143
Oh, it's always good
to have you around.
49
00:01:51,212 --> 00:01:52,945
-You and your--
-[gunshot]
50
00:01:53,046 --> 00:01:54,513
Oh, [bleep].
51
00:01:54,515 --> 00:01:57,216
Hey, if somethin' don't
happen, you ain't working.
52
00:02:00,721 --> 00:02:03,455
[man] This is how
we make the moonshine!
53
00:02:08,262 --> 00:02:11,730
[narrator] Two months after
a boom moonshine season,
54
00:02:11,732 --> 00:02:13,599
an early spring thaw brings
55
00:02:13,601 --> 00:02:16,635
an unexpected problem
to the hills of Appalachia.
56
00:02:20,407 --> 00:02:21,507
Hattie Boy!
57
00:02:21,509 --> 00:02:22,708
[Mark] What you doin', Puss?
58
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:23,942
Waitin' on you.
59
00:02:23,944 --> 00:02:26,645
[Mark] I got us some of that
damn expensive corn here.
60
00:02:27,915 --> 00:02:29,047
[Digger] What did
they hit you for?
61
00:02:29,049 --> 00:02:30,949
$25 a bag.
62
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:32,251
[Digger] The hell, you say.
63
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:34,319
We paid $10 last year.
64
00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:36,221
[narrator] In Cocke County,
Tennessee,
65
00:02:36,223 --> 00:02:38,924
veteran shiners
Mark and Digger stock up
66
00:02:38,926 --> 00:02:40,526
for a new season,
67
00:02:40,528 --> 00:02:43,495
but sky-high prices
threaten their bottom line.
68
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:44,630
[Digger] We're gonna
have to do something
69
00:02:44,632 --> 00:02:46,765
to alleviate this problem.
70
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,936
I mean, we can't sell
liquor for a reasonable fee
71
00:02:51,005 --> 00:02:54,106
if we're paying
$25 a bag for corn.
72
00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:57,409
You know, sadly, inflation is
at the highest percentage rate
73
00:02:57,411 --> 00:02:59,111
that I can remember.
74
00:02:59,113 --> 00:03:02,347
Raw materials and ingredients
that we have to have,
75
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:05,517
you know, they're
going up astronomically.
76
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:08,053
Price of fuel's up,
price of sugar's up.
77
00:03:08,055 --> 00:03:12,191
Copper is knocking
on the door of $300 a sheet.
78
00:03:12,193 --> 00:03:13,325
Yeah.
79
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:16,261
And when copper goes up,
so does copper thieving.
80
00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:19,498
All our old still sites, Puss,
we've left parts and stills
81
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:21,133
-and stuff there for--
-Exactly.
82
00:03:21,235 --> 00:03:23,702
You know, even the smallest
of these pots, Digger,
83
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:25,204
is worth hundreds of dollars.
84
00:03:25,206 --> 00:03:26,238
We're going to have to
go gather up
85
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:27,940
what we've got
scattered out all over.
86
00:03:27,942 --> 00:03:29,307
-Well, let's go get with it.
-All right.
87
00:03:29,310 --> 00:03:32,044
We're wasting time,
we'll end up
behind the eight ball.
88
00:03:32,046 --> 00:03:35,948
Possession of an unregistered
functioning still is a felony,
89
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:37,349
[car engine starts]
90
00:03:37,418 --> 00:03:39,518
so it was always safer on u
91
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,221
to put a little brush on 'em,
throw a tarp over 'em,
92
00:03:42,223 --> 00:03:43,688
and walk off and leave 'em.
93
00:03:43,757 --> 00:03:46,525
I mean, the more time
you've got a still
in the back of a vehicle,
94
00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:48,560
the more apt
you are to get caught.
95
00:03:48,629 --> 00:03:50,128
[Mark] We've got customers
96
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:52,898
-that can afford to
pay more money.
-[Digger] Yeah.
97
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:55,200
[Mark] But the majority
of our customers can't.
98
00:03:55,202 --> 00:03:56,935
They're blue-collar
working folk.
99
00:03:56,937 --> 00:04:00,205
If we can keep
our prices the same
without having to go up,
100
00:04:00,207 --> 00:04:01,940
man, that would be a plus.
101
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:14,753
[Henry] Man, I'm nervous.
102
00:04:14,822 --> 00:04:16,521
I got a call
from that fire marshal.
103
00:04:16,523 --> 00:04:18,323
He wants me to come
down to the house
104
00:04:18,325 --> 00:04:19,658
where we had that fire here.
105
00:04:19,727 --> 00:04:20,826
Gotta ride down
and talk to him,
106
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:22,027
and see what's going on.
107
00:04:22,029 --> 00:04:24,229
[narrator] In Franklin Count
Virginia,
108
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:27,699
just weeks after a fire
broke out at his rental hous
109
00:04:27,701 --> 00:04:30,402
Henry gets a call
from the local fire marshal
110
00:04:30,404 --> 00:04:31,903
to meet him at the property
111
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,639
[Henry] We had a fire
at the house a while back,
112
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:35,007
you know,
where Josh is living.
113
00:04:37,211 --> 00:04:39,044
[Josh] Henry,
the house is on fire!
114
00:04:39,046 --> 00:04:40,112
The house is on fire!
115
00:04:40,514 --> 00:04:41,246
What do I do?
116
00:04:41,649 --> 00:04:44,216
[Henry on phone]
117
00:04:44,852 --> 00:04:46,051
[car engine starts]
118
00:04:46,053 --> 00:04:48,153
[Josh] I'm gonna [bleep] keep
my ass from going to jail.
119
00:04:48,255 --> 00:04:49,521
[siren blaring]
120
00:04:50,691 --> 00:04:52,324
[Henry] He took off
and, you know, I thought
121
00:04:52,326 --> 00:04:53,158
everything was done.
122
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,159
I thought everything was ove
123
00:04:54,261 --> 00:04:55,827
We done tore the stuff down
and hauled it off.
124
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:57,029
There's nothing there.
125
00:04:57,031 --> 00:04:59,231
All of a sudden, I get
a call from a fire marshal.
126
00:05:02,603 --> 00:05:03,635
Oh, no.
127
00:05:03,737 --> 00:05:04,803
Oh, he's here.
128
00:05:06,206 --> 00:05:07,939
Got the camera out,
taking pictures.
129
00:05:07,941 --> 00:05:10,409
What the heck
is going on here?
130
00:05:10,411 --> 00:05:11,309
[car door opens]
131
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,210
[Henry] I don't know
this guy either.
132
00:05:12,212 --> 00:05:13,745
Never saw him before.
133
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:15,647
Good to see you.
What brings you out
down this way?
134
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:16,981
[fire marshal] Oh, you know,
135
00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:18,717
I heard there was
a little bit
of an incident here.
136
00:05:18,719 --> 00:05:19,985
[Henry] Oh, yeah?
137
00:05:19,987 --> 00:05:21,219
-[fire marshal]
Good to see you.
-Good to see you.
138
00:05:21,221 --> 00:05:22,354
[fire marshal] Yes, sir.
139
00:05:22,422 --> 00:05:24,022
[Henry] Are you
with the, uh,
140
00:05:24,024 --> 00:05:25,824
-fire marshal?
-[fire marshal] I'm with
the fire marshal's office,
141
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:27,392
you know, so I figured
I'd just come out,
142
00:05:27,394 --> 00:05:28,360
and try to inspect,
143
00:05:28,462 --> 00:05:30,128
and try to figure out
what went on here.
144
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:32,764
-You can tell right here
where it got pretty hot.
-[Henry] Yeah.
145
00:05:32,866 --> 00:05:34,299
[fire marshal] You got
any pictures
of the old building
146
00:05:34,301 --> 00:05:35,334
before y'all turned it down?
147
00:05:35,402 --> 00:05:36,868
No. No, no.
No way.
148
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:38,036
-I don't think so.
-[fire marshal] Okay.
You reckon the County GIS,
149
00:05:38,038 --> 00:05:39,137
I bet you they
got something on the house.
150
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:41,406
I'll see if I can't pull
some of that data.
151
00:05:41,408 --> 00:05:44,609
Oh, Josh Owens, does that name
ring a bell to you, sir?
152
00:05:44,611 --> 00:05:46,311
[Henry] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I know Josh.
153
00:05:46,313 --> 00:05:47,546
[fire marshal] All right.
You know where he may be?
154
00:05:47,647 --> 00:05:49,614
-Where we could
get ahold of him?
-[Henry] No.
155
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:50,949
He just travels all the time.
156
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:52,117
It's hard, really,
to catch up with him.
157
00:05:52,119 --> 00:05:53,352
[fire marshal] Yeah.
All right.
158
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:55,487
I think...
I think my office may
be back out here,
159
00:05:55,489 --> 00:05:56,855
but we'll see
what's going on,
160
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:59,091
and I'll try to see if I can't
get ahold of Mr. Owens and...
161
00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:00,492
[Henry] You might just
holler back at me,
162
00:06:00,494 --> 00:06:02,127
-and I'll be glad
to meet you out here.
-[fire marshal] Yeah.
163
00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:03,261
-I appreciate you.
-[Henry] All right.
164
00:06:03,297 --> 00:06:04,696
[fire marshal] You have
a great day, sir.
165
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:05,897
-[Henry] You too, man.
Appreciate you.
-[fire marshal] Yep.
166
00:06:10,404 --> 00:06:14,606
I'm gonna give Josh a call,
tell him he better lay low.
167
00:06:14,608 --> 00:06:17,008
He can't come back
to this house.
I know that.
168
00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:18,944
The fire marshal told me
he may come back.
169
00:06:18,946 --> 00:06:20,412
He may show up any time.
170
00:06:20,414 --> 00:06:23,315
We can't take a chance
of moving Josh back in there.
171
00:06:23,317 --> 00:06:24,516
You know,
the site's over with.
172
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:25,617
We've gotta find another spo
173
00:06:25,619 --> 00:06:28,120
and we got to keep Josh
on a low, low-key.
174
00:06:42,603 --> 00:06:45,604
[Mike] Whoo!
God almighty. Damn!
175
00:06:45,606 --> 00:06:47,005
It smells like minnow juice.
176
00:06:47,007 --> 00:06:48,340
You ain't took that thing
fishing, have you?
177
00:06:48,409 --> 00:06:50,007
[Mike grunting] No!
178
00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:51,042
[Jerry] Well, you said
you were gonna want
to get these things cleaned
179
00:06:51,111 --> 00:06:52,144
before we actually
put them away.
180
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:53,278
[Mike] I know.
181
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,813
Well, I'll tell you what.
All jokes aside, man,
182
00:06:54,815 --> 00:06:56,314
I'm, I'm pretty tickled
at our still site.
183
00:06:56,316 --> 00:06:58,216
It's more secluded
than we've ever been.
184
00:06:58,218 --> 00:07:00,218
I don't even think a hunter
is gonna be able to find us.
185
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:02,621
Last season, we had
some folks come in on us,
186
00:07:02,623 --> 00:07:05,290
and we're trying to eliminate
that for this season.
187
00:07:05,292 --> 00:07:06,858
There's going to be
a lot of work
188
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,360
getting that place set up.
You know what I mean?
189
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:09,427
Well, you know what they say?
190
00:07:09,496 --> 00:07:11,229
"Where there's a will,
there's a way." Right?
191
00:07:11,231 --> 00:07:12,431
Where there's a will,
there's a way, brother.
192
00:07:12,433 --> 00:07:13,565
We've got a new site.
193
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:15,033
It's way back in the woods.
194
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:16,635
It's in the middle
of a laurel thicket.
195
00:07:16,703 --> 00:07:18,737
It's going to take a lot
of work to clear it out,
196
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:20,305
but I'm feeling
really good about it,
197
00:07:20,307 --> 00:07:22,073
and I can't wait
to get it started.
198
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:23,942
Well, that one's starting
to smell a little better.
199
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:31,917
Jerry,
who's that right there?
200
00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:34,219
[Jerry] I have no idea.
201
00:07:38,392 --> 00:07:39,758
Mike Cockrell.
202
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,259
[Mike] Richard Landry.
203
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:42,494
[Richard] What's
going on, Mike?
How are you doing, brother?
204
00:07:42,496 --> 00:07:45,063
Me and Richard, you know,
we go pretty far back now.
205
00:07:45,132 --> 00:07:47,833
We competed against each oth
on Master Distillers,
206
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:49,801
and we're both
from the Deep South.
207
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:50,735
We're good friends.
208
00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:52,437
What in the hell
are you doing up this way?
209
00:07:52,506 --> 00:07:53,671
Man, I'm just riding.
210
00:07:53,673 --> 00:07:55,807
I love this beautiful scenery.
Look where y'all at.
211
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:57,275
We're in a beautiful place,
right?
212
00:07:57,277 --> 00:07:59,344
Look at that.
I don't never get to see
nothing like that, Mike.
213
00:07:59,413 --> 00:08:01,646
So you're just out
on a damn joyride?
214
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:03,048
That's all I'm doing, man.
215
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:05,050
I like going out
on road trips and stuff,
216
00:08:05,052 --> 00:08:06,918
but I ain't never been found
my way to Louisiana.
217
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, I mean, Mike told me
he took a road trip
218
00:08:08,622 --> 00:08:10,922
from Mississippi,
and he wound up
here in the mountains.
219
00:08:10,924 --> 00:08:13,124
I live here, though.
I've been here for 15 years.
220
00:08:13,126 --> 00:08:14,693
[chuckling] You know
what I mean?
221
00:08:14,695 --> 00:08:16,228
Richard lives in Louisiana,
222
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:18,897
and the price of gas
is through the roof right no
223
00:08:18,899 --> 00:08:22,701
I mean, that's a long damn way
just to be out joyriding.
224
00:08:22,703 --> 00:08:24,302
[Richard] Look,
I got something real good.
225
00:08:24,304 --> 00:08:25,437
You know about
that manglier tea.
226
00:08:25,539 --> 00:08:26,805
You from the one-mile marker.
227
00:08:26,807 --> 00:08:28,139
-Yeah.
-Let me let you
taste something.
228
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:29,240
[Mike] Let's do it.
229
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:32,611
[Richard] This is
a manglier corn that we did.
230
00:08:32,613 --> 00:08:34,312
-[Mike] Mmm-hmm.
-[Richard] Aged it
a little bit.
231
00:08:34,314 --> 00:08:35,313
It looks good.
232
00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:36,648
Tastes pretty good, too.
233
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:38,049
[sniffs]
234
00:08:38,118 --> 00:08:39,217
[exhales]
235
00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:41,219
Well, it smells good, buddy.
236
00:08:41,221 --> 00:08:43,255
That's a good barrel
it come out of.
237
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:44,422
[Mike] I have to
give you props.
238
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:46,658
That's some good-tasting
liquor there, Landry.
239
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,193
Is it selling good, or...
240
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:49,961
[Richard] I cannot make
enough of this stuff.
241
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:52,531
But you know what?
I'll be honest with
you guys, man.
242
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,599
I'm just sick of dealing
with that bayou water.
243
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:55,934
I'm in an area of the world
244
00:08:55,936 --> 00:08:57,736
where I gotta truck
water in to me, man.
245
00:08:57,837 --> 00:09:00,438
This limestone water
y'all got down here, man,
246
00:09:00,507 --> 00:09:02,007
it's something
totally different.
247
00:09:02,009 --> 00:09:03,341
We got the best water.
248
00:09:03,443 --> 00:09:05,343
Y'all think
this look is good?
249
00:09:05,445 --> 00:09:09,114
I can make it better if I had
water like you guys got here.
250
00:09:09,116 --> 00:09:12,250
You're wanting to set up
shop around here?
251
00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:13,652
I don't want
to step on y'all toes.
252
00:09:13,753 --> 00:09:15,120
I'm just trying
to make myself better.
253
00:09:15,122 --> 00:09:17,022
[Mike] Richard's got
his game on,
254
00:09:17,024 --> 00:09:18,323
and he thinks
he can up his game
255
00:09:18,325 --> 00:09:20,058
by coming here
and finding better water.
256
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:21,159
[Jerry] You know, you can't
just roll in somewhere
257
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:22,661
and just automatically
just set up camp.
258
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:23,794
I mean,
who are you working with?
259
00:09:23,796 --> 00:09:24,663
Where are you
gonna be doing this work at?
260
00:09:24,698 --> 00:09:25,830
[Mike] You got to
know somebody.
261
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:27,532
I'm still working
on all that right now.
262
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:28,934
You need something,
you...
263
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:30,602
you're more than welcome
to holler at us.
264
00:09:30,604 --> 00:09:31,736
We'll do everything
in the world
265
00:09:31,805 --> 00:09:32,904
we can to help you.
266
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,406
-You know what I mean?
-[Richard] All right.
267
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:36,474
I don't know what the hell
Richard wants here.
268
00:09:36,476 --> 00:09:38,109
-[Richard] Y'all take care.
-All right, man.
269
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:39,444
-You have a good one.
-[Richard] All right.
It's good seeing y'all.
270
00:09:39,513 --> 00:09:42,314
[Mike] But whatever he's doi
here, he's got me worried.
271
00:09:42,316 --> 00:09:44,649
That manglier tea,
it's good stuff.
272
00:09:44,718 --> 00:09:46,851
And having good water,
he might make it better.
273
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:49,054
As bad as I frigging hate
to say it,
274
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:50,622
we've got competition.
275
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:51,823
-We've got to up...
-Yep, obviously.
276
00:09:51,825 --> 00:09:53,558
...our damn game right now.
277
00:09:53,627 --> 00:09:54,759
We got to up the game.
278
00:09:54,861 --> 00:09:55,860
Hey, look, look.
279
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:58,229
I got us an ace in the hole.
280
00:09:58,231 --> 00:10:00,999
I got us somebody who I think
is gonna be able to help us,
281
00:10:01,001 --> 00:10:02,200
and it'll take care of things.
282
00:10:02,202 --> 00:10:03,902
I'll get him to come by,
let you meet him,
283
00:10:03,904 --> 00:10:04,869
see what you think about him.
284
00:10:04,871 --> 00:10:06,104
Well, I've been
with you long enough.
285
00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:07,739
I trust you.
286
00:10:07,808 --> 00:10:09,240
[Jerry] We got this, man.
Don't worry about it.
287
00:10:09,309 --> 00:10:11,810
You know what?
Richard, he knows
what the hell he's doing.
288
00:10:11,812 --> 00:10:13,044
[chuckling] He makes
damn good liquor.
289
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:14,613
That can be
a little bit worrisome,
290
00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:17,248
but Jerry says he has
a guy that can help us out.
291
00:10:17,317 --> 00:10:19,417
You know, anything that
we can do to get an edge,
292
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:20,518
we need it.
293
00:10:29,029 --> 00:10:30,261
[car door closes]
294
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:31,329
[Mark] Damn,
it's growed up a lot
295
00:10:31,331 --> 00:10:32,497
since we've been in here.
296
00:10:32,499 --> 00:10:33,431
[Digger] Yeah, it has.
297
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,333
It's kind of like
a still scavenger hunt.
298
00:10:35,435 --> 00:10:37,902
I think you'll find it
straight through, yonder,
299
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:39,204
and turn right.
300
00:10:39,206 --> 00:10:41,606
There's probably
a half a dozen or more sites
301
00:10:41,608 --> 00:10:43,441
that we've hid copper,
and, uh,
302
00:10:43,543 --> 00:10:46,978
we haven't been to some of 'em
in several years.
303
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:49,147
Puss, it's somewhere
right here.
304
00:10:49,216 --> 00:10:50,715
I think at one time
305
00:10:50,717 --> 00:10:52,517
we did write down
a little map
306
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:54,919
and put what still sites
what was at.
307
00:10:54,921 --> 00:10:56,521
[Digger] There's
that old direction tree.
308
00:10:56,523 --> 00:10:58,523
-[Mark] Yeah, yeah.
We're here.
-[Digger] We're getting there.
309
00:10:58,525 --> 00:11:00,725
But hell, it would be
more of a chore
310
00:11:00,727 --> 00:11:01,726
trying to find them out,
311
00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:04,963
probably, than to go
hunt the copper itself.
312
00:11:05,065 --> 00:11:06,464
[Digger] Yeah.
Here we go.
313
00:11:06,533 --> 00:11:08,633
[Mark] Let's see
what we got under here.
314
00:11:08,702 --> 00:11:10,735
You know, this is
the last place
315
00:11:10,804 --> 00:11:13,538
-that we run Big Sloppy
and the Twins.
-[Digger] Yeah.
316
00:11:13,607 --> 00:11:15,473
[Mark] This is
the oldest of the Twins,
317
00:11:15,475 --> 00:11:16,708
I believe, wasn't it?
318
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:18,810
If we were starting
from scratch right now,
319
00:11:18,812 --> 00:11:21,212
cost us a minimum $1,500
320
00:11:21,214 --> 00:11:22,414
to build this still
right here.
321
00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:25,417
-[Digger] Yep.
-And it'll bring
$400 in scrap.
322
00:11:25,419 --> 00:11:26,684
[Digger] In scrap alone!
323
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,920
These stills, you know,
when we left 'em in here,
324
00:11:28,922 --> 00:11:30,021
you know,
it wasn't a big deal.
325
00:11:30,090 --> 00:11:33,158
I mean, copper was bringing
50, 75 cents a pound.
326
00:11:33,226 --> 00:11:35,493
This is a big chunk of money
right here, Puss.
327
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:36,528
You ain't [bleep].
328
00:11:36,530 --> 00:11:38,530
But now that
it's clocking high,
329
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:40,799
I mean, it's,
it's as good as gold out here
330
00:11:40,801 --> 00:11:44,202
sitting in the woods, so we're
protecting our investment.
331
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:45,069
[Mark] All right,
332
00:11:45,071 --> 00:11:46,604
let's get this one
put to bed, Puss.
333
00:11:46,606 --> 00:11:48,406
[Digger] All right.
Then we'll go get another.
334
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:53,044
You know,
not only are these stills
335
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:54,245
moneymakers for us...
336
00:11:54,314 --> 00:11:55,513
[Mark] This is
one we run
337
00:11:55,515 --> 00:11:57,015
-the hoop burner on as well.
-Oh, yeah.
338
00:11:57,017 --> 00:11:59,551
...they're also,
you know, artifacts.
339
00:11:59,652 --> 00:12:02,020
That was when you got detained
over getting sugar,
340
00:12:02,022 --> 00:12:05,223
-I panicked and I shot
a hole in every still we had.
-[chuckles]
341
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:07,859
You know, every one of em's
got their own stories to tell.
342
00:12:07,928 --> 00:12:08,660
[Mark] Hellfire!
343
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:09,661
[Digger] That's the one we run
344
00:12:09,663 --> 00:12:11,963
the popcorn liquor
up on the mountain with.
345
00:12:12,031 --> 00:12:14,699
It's not the Roman Empire
or the Stonehenge,
346
00:12:14,701 --> 00:12:17,635
but to us, you know,
each of these sites tells
347
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:19,304
part of Mark and
Digger's history.
348
00:12:19,306 --> 00:12:21,606
Hellfire! I forgot about this.
349
00:12:21,608 --> 00:12:24,242
[Digger] Yeah, that's back
in the half gallon jar days.
350
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:26,411
See what we got there,
baby man.
351
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:30,715
High proof liquor.
352
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:35,120
Ooh, that's delicious.
Get you a big drink.
353
00:12:35,122 --> 00:12:36,321
Damn.
354
00:12:36,323 --> 00:12:37,122
Whoa!
355
00:12:37,124 --> 00:12:38,156
[coughs]
356
00:12:38,158 --> 00:12:40,225
Oh, that's way too damn
high proof to drink,
357
00:12:40,227 --> 00:12:41,158
but take it with us.
358
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,160
[Digger] Yeah,
we'll take it with us.
359
00:12:42,162 --> 00:12:43,561
There's enough there
to make two gallons.
360
00:12:43,663 --> 00:12:45,230
[Mark] Oh, hell.
361
00:12:45,232 --> 00:12:46,631
Nice to meet you, man.
My name's Solomon.
362
00:12:46,633 --> 00:12:47,932
-[Mike] Solomon?
-Sutton.
363
00:12:48,001 --> 00:12:48,800
Sutton?
364
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:50,335
You any kin to old Popcorn?
365
00:12:50,403 --> 00:12:51,636
[Solomon] Yeah. That's my dad.
366
00:12:52,305 --> 00:12:53,104
Your daddy?
367
00:12:54,407 --> 00:12:56,040
[Josh] Oh, my God.
368
00:12:56,042 --> 00:12:58,209
Our whole site's
been destroyed.
369
00:12:58,211 --> 00:12:59,811
This can't be
[bleep] happening.
370
00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:04,315
[Mark] I tell you,
it's a good feeling
371
00:13:04,317 --> 00:13:06,217
to have all this put to bed.
372
00:13:06,219 --> 00:13:09,721
There's $3,000 or $4,000
scrap value right there alone.
373
00:13:12,192 --> 00:13:13,725
[exhales]
374
00:13:13,827 --> 00:13:15,026
[Mark] You let me
back out of here,
375
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:17,362
and let's go check on
that Tennessee whiskey site.
376
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:19,430
[Digger] Now that the still'
out of harm's way,
377
00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:22,200
we gotta go get our
Tennessee whiskey still site
378
00:13:22,202 --> 00:13:24,035
cleaned up on that
English Mountain spring.
379
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:25,804
[Mark] We're supposed to
get after it, hadn't we?
380
00:13:25,806 --> 00:13:27,438
[Digger] Yeah.
381
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:28,973
[Mark] Boy,
look at that water.
382
00:13:28,975 --> 00:13:30,441
-[Digger] It's beautiful.
-[Mark] Ain't that incredible?
383
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:34,412
This water, it's very high
in limestone content.
384
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:38,216
There's nothing above it tha
contaminates it with anythin
385
00:13:38,218 --> 00:13:41,352
It is the cornerstone
of our Tennessee whiskey.
386
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:42,821
[Digger] You know, Hattie,
we got to figure out
387
00:13:42,823 --> 00:13:44,789
what we're going to do
once we deplete
388
00:13:44,791 --> 00:13:46,024
that corn that we got.
389
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:47,125
[Mark] Yeah.
390
00:13:47,127 --> 00:13:48,526
What do you suggest?
391
00:13:48,528 --> 00:13:51,429
[Digger] Well, looks like
we might need to start
392
00:13:51,431 --> 00:13:52,697
growing our own corn, Hattie.
393
00:13:54,201 --> 00:13:56,401
I don't know nothing
about farming, Puss.
394
00:13:56,403 --> 00:13:57,702
[Digger] How hard could it be?
395
00:13:57,704 --> 00:14:00,205
I've got the old homeplace
where my mama grew up,
396
00:14:00,207 --> 00:14:01,306
her family farm.
397
00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:02,540
You know, it's not huge,
398
00:14:02,609 --> 00:14:05,109
but we can get
a acre of corn in there, easy.
399
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:06,811
I got a guy over there, Jeff.
400
00:14:06,813 --> 00:14:08,713
He, he grows corn every year.
401
00:14:08,715 --> 00:14:11,049
[Mark] I mean,
$25 a bag is ridiculous.
402
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:13,318
We could probably grow it
for $4 or $5.
403
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,954
Our pumps are around,
down around this bend.
404
00:14:15,956 --> 00:14:16,987
We ought to be hearing
405
00:14:17,057 --> 00:14:18,523
a little bit of that clicking
there, Puss.
406
00:14:18,525 --> 00:14:20,692
-You'd think.
-Unless it's stopped up,
or something.
407
00:14:21,595 --> 00:14:22,627
[Digger] Oh, hell.
408
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:24,996
This ain't good
at all, Hattie.
409
00:14:24,998 --> 00:14:27,098
I know why
there ain't no damn clicking.
410
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:29,334
I see the end of the pipe,
411
00:14:29,402 --> 00:14:31,402
but at the end of that pipe
there ain't no ram pump.
412
00:14:32,138 --> 00:14:33,838
Son of a bitch!
413
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,440
And it's cut.
414
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:37,308
Look right there,
that's not pulled loose.
415
00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:38,543
Somebody sawed at it.
416
00:14:40,313 --> 00:14:41,345
Damn it.
417
00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:43,882
If they followed
what was going up that hill,
418
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:45,550
to what was
up on top of that hill,
419
00:14:45,652 --> 00:14:46,951
and down in that hollow...
420
00:14:46,953 --> 00:14:49,621
Still sites come and go,
but when you lose
421
00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:50,989
the best water source
422
00:14:50,991 --> 00:14:53,925
that you've ever, ever had
in your whole career,
423
00:14:53,927 --> 00:14:55,927
you know,
that's not replaceable.
424
00:14:55,929 --> 00:14:57,262
Son of a bitch!
425
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:58,363
Let's get the hell
out of here.
426
00:14:58,431 --> 00:15:00,031
I don't want
to be here any longer.
427
00:15:00,033 --> 00:15:01,332
Yeah, we can find other water,
428
00:15:01,434 --> 00:15:03,134
and we'll keep making liquor
429
00:15:03,203 --> 00:15:06,137
but this was
very, very special water,
430
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:06,938
and it was...
431
00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:08,406
It was just
432
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:10,608
imperative
for our Tennessee whiskey.
433
00:15:10,677 --> 00:15:12,110
What do we do now, Puss?
434
00:15:12,112 --> 00:15:13,211
[Digger] I'd say
we get online,
435
00:15:13,213 --> 00:15:15,046
and fill out
some job applications.
436
00:15:26,226 --> 00:15:28,459
[Tickle] Hey, look what
we got here, Henry.
437
00:15:28,528 --> 00:15:30,728
[Henry] Well, he finally
showed up, didn't he?
438
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:33,765
Promise you one thing,
I put that propane out.
439
00:15:33,767 --> 00:15:34,799
I don't know what happened.
440
00:15:34,901 --> 00:15:35,700
-I had it--
-You're sure about that?
441
00:15:35,702 --> 00:15:37,001
I had everything safe.
442
00:15:37,003 --> 00:15:38,002
[Tickle] Josh pulls up,
443
00:15:38,004 --> 00:15:40,204
and the first words
out of his mouth
444
00:15:40,206 --> 00:15:42,507
is "I didn't do it."
445
00:15:42,509 --> 00:15:44,609
Sounds like
a guilty man to me.
446
00:15:44,678 --> 00:15:46,511
I promise
I put everything out.
447
00:15:46,513 --> 00:15:48,246
I went in the house
for a few minutes,
448
00:15:48,315 --> 00:15:50,815
I come back outside,
it was blazing.
449
00:15:50,817 --> 00:15:51,716
You don't have to convince us.
450
00:15:51,718 --> 00:15:52,917
You gotta convince
the fire marshal.
451
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:54,252
[Josh] I've been through hel
452
00:15:54,321 --> 00:15:56,521
Come back here to Henry's,
finally, after laying low,
453
00:15:56,523 --> 00:15:57,889
find out
they're looking for me.
454
00:15:57,891 --> 00:15:59,023
He was on the lease agreement.
455
00:15:59,025 --> 00:16:00,458
They want to talk to you.
456
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,227
Maybe it wasn't
such a good idea
to put my name on a lease
457
00:16:03,229 --> 00:16:04,796
if the place is gonna
be a liquor still.
458
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:06,531
That probably wasn't
the brightest damn thing
459
00:16:06,533 --> 00:16:07,565
I've ever done in my life.
460
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:08,866
So my house is gone.
461
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:10,101
Your house is gone.
462
00:16:10,169 --> 00:16:12,303
But ain't it more suspicious
that I don't ever come back?
463
00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:13,504
Can't go back to the house.
464
00:16:13,506 --> 00:16:14,806
You can go back to the house
and get caught.
465
00:16:14,808 --> 00:16:15,840
[Paige] Go to jail.
466
00:16:15,842 --> 00:16:17,108
[Henry] That's
the way it is, hoss.
467
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:18,977
Making liquor,
you might go to jail.
468
00:16:18,979 --> 00:16:20,211
You may not make it home.
469
00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:21,980
If we go down and get
your stills out of the hollow,
470
00:16:21,982 --> 00:16:23,614
we're gonna leave tracks
if he comes back,
471
00:16:23,616 --> 00:16:25,216
and he told me
he was coming back.
472
00:16:25,218 --> 00:16:26,784
But, you know,
the bottom line is
473
00:16:26,786 --> 00:16:28,219
that place is over.
474
00:16:28,221 --> 00:16:30,254
That still site, it is dead.
475
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:31,723
Yeah, it's dead.
476
00:16:31,791 --> 00:16:33,124
Man, you know,
we thought everything
477
00:16:33,126 --> 00:16:34,325
was set for this season.
478
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:35,626
Had a beautiful place
over there,
479
00:16:35,695 --> 00:16:37,695
300 acres of land,
Josh living at the house.
480
00:16:37,697 --> 00:16:39,330
Now, all that's went to crap
481
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:40,832
So I can't go back there.
482
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:41,699
[Henry] We can't
go back there.
483
00:16:41,701 --> 00:16:43,501
We can't go get the stills.
484
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:46,204
[Tickle] We've got a multitu
of problems right here.
485
00:16:46,206 --> 00:16:48,139
We got to find us
a new location.
486
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:49,974
We got to build
some more pots.
487
00:16:49,976 --> 00:16:51,209
[Josh] So what are
we gonna do now?
488
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:53,444
Well, we're gonna do what
moonshiners have always done.
489
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:56,414
We're gonna cut our losses,
and we're gonna move on.
490
00:16:56,416 --> 00:16:58,516
[Josh] I'm gonna be
laying real low for a while
491
00:16:58,518 --> 00:17:00,118
Henry is going
on and on and on
492
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,486
about all the [bleep]
that I'm in.
493
00:17:01,488 --> 00:17:03,221
The whole time, I'm worried
to damn death thinking,
494
00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:04,555
"Are they coming here
to get me?
495
00:17:04,624 --> 00:17:05,690
They're what?
Where are they at?"
496
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:06,891
I don't know what's going on.
497
00:17:06,893 --> 00:17:08,626
[Henry] Calm down, hoss.
They're not gonna lock you up.
498
00:17:08,728 --> 00:17:10,028
If they do, we'll come
and get you out of jail.
499
00:17:23,343 --> 00:17:24,776
[Mark] You never did
live over here
500
00:17:24,778 --> 00:17:26,310
on your family farm, did you
501
00:17:26,312 --> 00:17:28,946
No. I did a lot
of growing up over there.
502
00:17:28,948 --> 00:17:30,882
[Mark] Oh, really?
Well, it don't show.
503
00:17:31,818 --> 00:17:33,885
Is there any type
of water on it?
504
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:34,986
[Digger] Yeah, there's water,
505
00:17:34,988 --> 00:17:37,889
but there ain't enough
to suit our purpose.
506
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:40,425
You know, we lost
the best source of water
in the world.
507
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:42,593
We've got to try to find
as close a replacement
508
00:17:42,595 --> 00:17:44,028
to that as we can.
509
00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:47,398
But limestone water, it's
prolific in East Tennessee.
510
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,966
We got to get busy
growing corn
511
00:17:48,968 --> 00:17:50,034
if we're gonna have it in
512
00:17:50,136 --> 00:17:51,803
by the time
we're gonna need it.
513
00:17:51,871 --> 00:17:53,604
What's your buddy's name?
Jeff?
514
00:17:53,606 --> 00:17:55,406
Jeff Morris is his name.
515
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:58,109
He raises corn
in the summer months,
516
00:17:58,111 --> 00:17:59,610
cattle year-round.
517
00:17:59,612 --> 00:18:01,312
He's a working machine.
518
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:03,448
I told Jeff to meet us
over here this morning.
519
00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:04,882
He's brought with him
520
00:18:04,884 --> 00:18:07,118
several different varieties
of corn that we can look at
521
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,687
and see which one is gonna
suit our purpose best.
522
00:18:09,689 --> 00:18:11,622
Well, Jeff, we're wanting
to grow a little corn
523
00:18:11,624 --> 00:18:12,523
instead of buying corn.
524
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:13,991
That's the cheapest way
to do it.
525
00:18:13,993 --> 00:18:16,327
We know how to cook it
and we know how to eat it,
526
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:18,162
but we don't know
nothing about growing.
527
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:20,064
We need someone
that can help us
528
00:18:20,066 --> 00:18:23,534
grow the most productive,
flavorful kind of corn
529
00:18:23,636 --> 00:18:24,702
that we can get,
530
00:18:24,704 --> 00:18:27,038
and that's what Jeff's
gonna help us with, I hope.
531
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,807
[Jeff] I've got
several different varieties.
532
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:33,811
Now, this is a sweet corn.
It's top of the line.
533
00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:35,613
It'll make anything
you want to make out of it.
534
00:18:35,682 --> 00:18:38,316
Now, on the other hand,
what I've got here,
535
00:18:38,318 --> 00:18:40,618
it's a deep, dark,
local grown corn.
536
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,220
-See how you like that.
-[Mark] What about that?
537
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:44,122
I love the look of grain,
the shapes,
538
00:18:44,124 --> 00:18:46,057
the different colors,
the variations.
539
00:18:46,059 --> 00:18:48,326
[Jeff] This is
a Mexican corn.
540
00:18:48,328 --> 00:18:50,561
It is a very beautiful corn
once you're growing it.
541
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,630
In my eyes,
grain's an artwork.
542
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:54,398
[Jeff] I've got
one more to show you
543
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,502
that is a multicolored corn.
544
00:18:57,504 --> 00:18:59,403
It is called Earth Tones.
545
00:18:59,405 --> 00:19:02,039
This is
a very high starch corn.
546
00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:04,876
People have used this
in the mountains for years.
547
00:19:04,878 --> 00:19:07,311
I bet that's been here
since the pioneers came in.
548
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:08,546
In my personal opinion,
549
00:19:08,615 --> 00:19:10,715
if you want to go
with the heavier starch,
550
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:12,617
I would go with
the Earth Tones.
551
00:19:12,718 --> 00:19:14,418
Well, gents,
what do you all think?
552
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:17,555
Oh, I'm leaning toward
this Earth Tone flint.
553
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:19,624
It sounds like
it's got plenty of goody
554
00:19:19,626 --> 00:19:21,058
to make liquor out of it.
555
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:23,127
We need something
with high starch content.
556
00:19:23,129 --> 00:19:25,530
We want
the biggest bang for our buck.
557
00:19:25,532 --> 00:19:28,332
I've got plenty of it,
but it's not cheap.
558
00:19:28,401 --> 00:19:29,934
What we're seeding in
is probably
559
00:19:29,936 --> 00:19:31,602
about a half-acre of corn,
560
00:19:31,704 --> 00:19:32,970
and that should give us
561
00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:35,339
around 60 bushel of corn,
maybe a little more.
562
00:19:35,441 --> 00:19:37,775
What are you thinking
about here, boss?
563
00:19:37,777 --> 00:19:39,243
[Jeff] Well, you're gonna
need a lot of seed,
564
00:19:39,312 --> 00:19:40,912
so it's probably gonna run you
565
00:19:40,914 --> 00:19:43,214
somewhere around 500 bucks
for your seed...
566
00:19:43,216 --> 00:19:44,382
Whew! Man!
567
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:46,918
...plus, about $20 a bag
right now for your fertilizer,
568
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,953
and you're gonna have to
take into consideration
569
00:19:48,955 --> 00:19:50,154
your diesel and all of that.
570
00:19:50,256 --> 00:19:54,725
So roughly, we're looking
at a thousand bucks here,
571
00:19:54,727 --> 00:19:57,061
-by the time
it's all said and done.
-Exactly. Probably.
572
00:19:57,063 --> 00:19:58,529
Yeah, I mean, it's costly,
573
00:19:58,531 --> 00:19:59,931
but it's gonna
save us on the...
574
00:19:59,933 --> 00:20:01,799
On the back end,
I promise you.
575
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:02,700
Let me tell you what I'll do.
576
00:20:03,670 --> 00:20:04,702
I know things is tough,
577
00:20:06,139 --> 00:20:07,205
so
578
00:20:07,207 --> 00:20:09,574
I'd rather have
a cut of your liquor there,
579
00:20:09,576 --> 00:20:11,609
a cut of your final product.
580
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:13,678
Well, we're not
above bartering.
581
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,246
-We've been known
to barter a lot.
-Yeah.
582
00:20:15,348 --> 00:20:16,914
It works out in our favor
most of the time.
583
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:18,716
That's the way we've
always done it in these hills.
584
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:21,219
But we're gonna throw
another hitch in here.
585
00:20:21,221 --> 00:20:22,320
Okay.
586
00:20:22,322 --> 00:20:24,055
You gotta prep the ground
for us, get it turned up.
587
00:20:24,057 --> 00:20:25,323
That would be no problem.
588
00:20:25,325 --> 00:20:27,425
So, he's going to prep
our land for us.
589
00:20:27,427 --> 00:20:29,527
He's going to plow it.
He's going to drag it.
590
00:20:29,529 --> 00:20:31,262
I'm gonna go out
on a limb here.
591
00:20:31,364 --> 00:20:32,663
How about 5%?
592
00:20:32,699 --> 00:20:35,766
-Nah, I don't feel
a bit good about that.
-[Mark chuckles]
593
00:20:35,768 --> 00:20:36,968
You're not just buying
the corn,
594
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:38,803
-you're buying the expertise.
-I know.
595
00:20:38,805 --> 00:20:42,039
Well, how do you feel about
10% of that end yield?
596
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:43,507
That'll be fine.
597
00:20:43,509 --> 00:20:45,309
You go ahead and prep
the ground for us,
598
00:20:45,311 --> 00:20:48,112
and then we'll come and
we'll get it in the ground,
599
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:49,046
and get started.
600
00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:50,381
Yes, sir.
601
00:20:50,383 --> 00:20:51,549
-[Mark] Jeff, thank you, man.
-[Digger] Thank you, buddy.
602
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:53,217
-[Jeff] Thank you.
-You've been more than kind.
603
00:20:53,219 --> 00:20:54,852
[Jeff] Thank you very much.
604
00:20:54,854 --> 00:20:56,354
[Digger] We're gonna let yo
do all our negotiating
from now on.
605
00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:05,463
[Mark] He's getting there,
isn't he?
606
00:21:05,531 --> 00:21:06,631
[Digger] Yeah, he is.
607
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:09,500
We left Jeff with the task
608
00:21:09,502 --> 00:21:11,669
of plowing up the field,
turning the dirt over,
609
00:21:11,671 --> 00:21:13,304
getting it down
as deep as he can,
610
00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:16,140
and hopefully,
he's got this land prepped,
611
00:21:16,209 --> 00:21:18,943
and we'll get
down to business growing corn.
612
00:21:18,945 --> 00:21:20,811
[Jeff] The good news
is she's almost done.
613
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,413
The bad news is
614
00:21:22,415 --> 00:21:24,148
it's about as best
as I can get it.
615
00:21:24,217 --> 00:21:25,916
New ground, and solid ground.
616
00:21:25,918 --> 00:21:27,318
Well, we didn't expect
617
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,819
a whole lot better,
to be honest.
618
00:21:28,888 --> 00:21:31,689
It's called new ground
because it's not been farmed
619
00:21:31,691 --> 00:21:33,457
in 50 or more years.
620
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:36,027
You know, for a year or so,
it's very difficult.
621
00:21:36,029 --> 00:21:39,230
You know, it has
all the roots from the grass
and stuff in it.
622
00:21:39,232 --> 00:21:40,564
[Jeff] It's still gonna
have some clods,
623
00:21:40,633 --> 00:21:41,899
but I believe
you'll be all right.
624
00:21:41,901 --> 00:21:43,234
It's gonna get plenty
of nitrogen...
625
00:21:43,236 --> 00:21:44,802
-Right.
-...out here,
and plenty of nutrients and--
626
00:21:44,904 --> 00:21:46,937
I promise you it will,
because the hog lot was
627
00:21:46,939 --> 00:21:48,706
back there at that back corner
at one time,
628
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:49,707
so it's pretty rich.
629
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:50,741
It's pretty rich.
630
00:21:50,743 --> 00:21:52,043
[Mark] All right.
Let's get busy, Puss.
631
00:21:52,045 --> 00:21:53,244
[Digger] All right.
Let's get with it.
632
00:21:53,246 --> 00:21:54,812
[Jeff] I'm gonna do
a couple jobs and I'll be back
633
00:21:54,914 --> 00:21:56,447
in a couple hours
to check on you.
634
00:21:56,516 --> 00:21:59,150
Jeff's got the ground
plowed up and leveled out.
635
00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:01,986
[Mark] Let me
have one of them,
636
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,221
and I'll go to the foot
of the hill down yonder.
637
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:05,890
Before we get
the corn planted,
638
00:22:05,892 --> 00:22:07,558
we're gonna take
our twine, our string,
639
00:22:07,627 --> 00:22:08,926
and we're gonna
lay the rows off.
640
00:22:08,928 --> 00:22:10,695
These rows is longer
than they look.
641
00:22:10,697 --> 00:22:11,762
[Digger] Yeah, they are.
642
00:22:11,764 --> 00:22:13,531
But we're just gonna
do 'em one at a time.
643
00:22:13,533 --> 00:22:16,233
After it's been planted, we'll
just move our string over.
644
00:22:16,302 --> 00:22:18,002
[Digger] Once we get
the string around,
645
00:22:18,004 --> 00:22:20,805
we're gonna follow it
with that little turn plow.
646
00:22:20,807 --> 00:22:21,972
We can take the wheel,
647
00:22:21,974 --> 00:22:24,675
follow the line,
you got straight rows.
648
00:22:24,677 --> 00:22:25,709
[Mark] What do
you think, Puss?
649
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:27,144
[Digger] That looks
pretty straight to me.
650
00:22:29,515 --> 00:22:30,715
[Mark] Don't you
burn the bearings
651
00:22:30,783 --> 00:22:31,882
out of that thing, now.
652
00:22:31,884 --> 00:22:33,984
I'm trying to figure out
where the gas goes in.
653
00:22:33,986 --> 00:22:36,520
We take
the little layoff plow,
654
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:39,223
and try to just
push it through there
to make a furrow...
655
00:22:39,225 --> 00:22:41,325
[Digger] We're kicking sod
out of the way,
656
00:22:41,327 --> 00:22:42,760
is all we're doing.
657
00:22:42,762 --> 00:22:45,463
...but this is a new ground,
and it's very hard
to deal with.
658
00:22:49,936 --> 00:22:52,002
This is taking forever.
659
00:22:52,004 --> 00:22:53,804
Whew!
Son of a bitch.
660
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,673
Yeah, this is horse [bleep].
661
00:22:55,675 --> 00:22:57,108
From one end of this field
to the other,
662
00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:59,510
it didn't look very long
when we started,
663
00:22:59,512 --> 00:23:01,312
but the more we go
backwards and forwards,
664
00:23:01,314 --> 00:23:02,680
you know, the longer it gets.
665
00:23:02,682 --> 00:23:05,716
I don't know what in the hell
we've got ourself into.
666
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:07,151
We've been out here all day.
667
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:09,120
We've only got
three rows done.
668
00:23:09,122 --> 00:23:11,622
We'll have a week
in laying these furrows off.
669
00:23:13,126 --> 00:23:14,625
I don't know, baby man.
670
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:16,527
You hear them voices
in my head?
671
00:23:16,529 --> 00:23:18,362
[Digger] Yeah.
They're saying, "Quit."
672
00:23:18,464 --> 00:23:20,064
[Mark] Yeah. I'm done.
673
00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:21,265
[breathing heavily]
674
00:23:21,333 --> 00:23:24,402
Mark, he's hot,
he's sweaty, he's tired,
675
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:25,803
and I'm riding with him.
676
00:23:25,805 --> 00:23:27,605
My head's a-melting.
I'm a-burning up.
677
00:23:27,673 --> 00:23:29,140
You don't look so hot to me.
678
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:31,509
We're tapping out.
We're calling it a day.
679
00:23:31,511 --> 00:23:33,611
I'm beat down
like a rented mule.
680
00:23:35,248 --> 00:23:38,449
-I don't know what made us
think that we can grow corn.
-[Digger] Yeah.
681
00:23:39,352 --> 00:23:41,685
[scoffs] I don't know
what we do now.
682
00:23:41,687 --> 00:23:43,053
We just don't show back up.
683
00:23:43,055 --> 00:23:44,588
-Yeah.
-[chuckles]
684
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:46,323
[Digger] You hear
what I hear?
685
00:23:46,325 --> 00:23:48,225
[Mark] I don't know
what we tell Jeff.
686
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:50,227
I'm gonna start with,
"I'm sorry."
687
00:23:50,229 --> 00:23:51,027
[chuckles]
688
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,433
-Here we go.
-[car door opens]
689
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:56,667
[Jeff] How you doing, fellas?
690
00:23:56,669 --> 00:23:57,401
-[Mark] Well...
-[Digger] Well,
691
00:23:57,403 --> 00:23:58,803
you showed up just in time
692
00:23:58,805 --> 00:24:00,104
for our retirement party.
[chuckles]
693
00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:01,872
Y'all ain't old enough
to retire yet.
694
00:24:01,874 --> 00:24:04,208
-Well, we kind of feel
like we are.
-[chuckles]
695
00:24:04,210 --> 00:24:07,445
[Mark] We've decided
that we ain't farmers.
696
00:24:07,546 --> 00:24:09,780
[Jeff] Well,
I know that, but, uh,
697
00:24:09,782 --> 00:24:11,715
I've got a lot invested
698
00:24:11,717 --> 00:24:13,184
in this crop already,
gentlemen.
699
00:24:13,186 --> 00:24:14,518
-Oh, yeah.
-[Digger] Yeah.
700
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,652
Well...
701
00:24:15,654 --> 00:24:18,556
You wouldn't consider
in just going ahead, and...
702
00:24:18,657 --> 00:24:20,558
And planting it for us,
would you?
703
00:24:20,659 --> 00:24:22,726
[Jeff] Not on the original
investment, I wouldn't.
704
00:24:22,728 --> 00:24:23,727
[Mark] I mean,
you've got us
705
00:24:23,729 --> 00:24:25,196
by the short hairs here,
and you know it.
706
00:24:25,198 --> 00:24:26,196
What are you thinking?
707
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:28,866
What I'm thinking of
is about another 5%,
708
00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:30,601
and I'll have this planted
in the next 30 minutes.
709
00:24:30,603 --> 00:24:31,335
Sold.
710
00:24:32,205 --> 00:24:33,404
-Wait a minute.
-What?
711
00:24:33,406 --> 00:24:35,139
You didn't ask me
how I felt about it.
712
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:37,541
Um, uh, I thought I had
your proxy. I'm sorry.
713
00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:39,310
-Well...
-I mean, what do
you think, Hattie?
714
00:24:39,312 --> 00:24:40,211
Sold.
715
00:24:40,213 --> 00:24:41,879
[all chuckle]
716
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:43,714
We've contracted Jeff
717
00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:46,417
to plant this entire
little plot of corn.
718
00:24:46,419 --> 00:24:47,551
For his assistance,
719
00:24:47,620 --> 00:24:49,553
we'll give him
15% of the liquor.
720
00:24:49,622 --> 00:24:51,889
Go get that son of a bitch
and get with it.
721
00:24:51,891 --> 00:24:53,224
[Jeff] Only one thing
I need you boys to do
722
00:24:53,226 --> 00:24:54,992
is just stay out of my way
and I'll get her done.
723
00:24:54,994 --> 00:24:56,627
[Digger and Mark chuckle]
724
00:25:08,074 --> 00:25:09,607
[Jerry] I found
just the guy to help us.
725
00:25:09,609 --> 00:25:11,108
I got him coming by here
in a little while,
726
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:12,142
kind of hang out with us
a little bit,
727
00:25:12,144 --> 00:25:13,511
-see what you think.
-[Mike] You trust him?
728
00:25:13,513 --> 00:25:15,045
-Sure, I do.
-Hey, I trust you.
729
00:25:15,113 --> 00:25:17,047
-And if you trust the guy,
I don't care.
-He's a good hand, I tell you.
730
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:19,316
You want to screw this
together, and I'll hold it?
731
00:25:19,318 --> 00:25:20,551
[Jerry] I think Mike's
probably a little
732
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:21,785
on the concerned side,
I mean,
733
00:25:21,854 --> 00:25:23,721
you know, as I would be,
not knowing this guy,
734
00:25:23,789 --> 00:25:25,422
but I know
he's a hard worker.
735
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:26,624
I've known him
for quite some time.
736
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,526
Also, on top of that,
he's got some knowledge
737
00:25:28,528 --> 00:25:29,727
on some things
that might just
738
00:25:29,729 --> 00:25:31,262
help us out tremendously.
739
00:25:31,264 --> 00:25:32,930
Can't even walk in there
right now, hardly.
740
00:25:32,932 --> 00:25:34,798
Yeah, we definitely
need to get in there
and get cleaned up.
741
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,300
You're always nervous
when somebody wants
742
00:25:36,302 --> 00:25:38,502
to bring somebody else
into your still site.
743
00:25:38,504 --> 00:25:40,137
You know, that's like,
almost like
744
00:25:40,206 --> 00:25:42,206
letting somebody take
your old lady on a date.
745
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:43,874
You just don't do that.
746
00:25:45,344 --> 00:25:47,111
Well, lookee there!
Speak of the devil.
747
00:25:47,113 --> 00:25:48,546
-What are y'all up to?
-What's goin' on, man?
748
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:51,015
Oh, yeah.
749
00:25:51,017 --> 00:25:51,982
Mike, brother.
750
00:25:51,984 --> 00:25:53,150
Nice to meet you, man.
My name's Solomon.
751
00:25:53,252 --> 00:25:54,518
-[Mike] Solomon?
-Sutton.
752
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,386
[Mike] Sutton?
753
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:56,887
-Yeah, boy.
-Uh-oh.
754
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,156
There was a guy
with the Sutton last name.
755
00:25:59,258 --> 00:26:00,524
You any kin to old Popcorn?
756
00:26:00,526 --> 00:26:01,825
[Solomon] Yeah. That's my dad.
757
00:26:02,328 --> 00:26:03,360
Your daddy?
758
00:26:03,429 --> 00:26:04,528
-Yeah.
-Hellfire!
759
00:26:06,432 --> 00:26:08,299
I'll tell you what,
your dad was known
760
00:26:08,301 --> 00:26:10,501
for making a lot
of damn liquor, wasn't he?
761
00:26:10,503 --> 00:26:11,302
A lot.
762
00:26:11,370 --> 00:26:13,604
Well, my dad
was Popcorn Sutton.
763
00:26:13,706 --> 00:26:15,873
I was in bed, I says,
I'm gonna make
some whiskey today.
764
00:26:15,875 --> 00:26:17,975
He ran liquor out here
for a long time,
765
00:26:17,977 --> 00:26:20,711
up on Hemp Hill,
and all over Maggie Valley.
766
00:26:23,516 --> 00:26:25,115
The biggest question is,
can you work?
767
00:26:25,117 --> 00:26:25,883
Do you want to work?
768
00:26:25,885 --> 00:26:26,984
Oh, yeah.
769
00:26:26,986 --> 00:26:28,485
You know, with Solomon
being onboard with us,
770
00:26:28,487 --> 00:26:29,720
and that being his dad
771
00:26:29,722 --> 00:26:32,389
can potentially set us up
to sell a lot of liquor.
772
00:26:32,391 --> 00:26:34,925
We're gonna try this guy out,
see how he works for us.
773
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:37,728
If he'll work hard
and keep his mouth shut
at the same time,
774
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:39,530
I believe
we can all be friends.
775
00:26:39,532 --> 00:26:40,698
[Jerry] Like I told you
there earlier,
776
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:42,433
we found
a nice, big laurel thicket.
777
00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:43,767
We want to clear up
the middle.
778
00:26:43,769 --> 00:26:45,336
We can get set up in there.
779
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:47,204
[Solomon] That works for me.
780
00:26:47,206 --> 00:26:49,106
I know it's gonna be
hard work and stuff,
781
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:50,908
but moonshine
is in my blood, you know?
782
00:26:50,910 --> 00:26:51,875
It's part of my history.
783
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:53,310
[Mike] Jerry, you want
to take this man out
784
00:26:53,312 --> 00:26:54,712
and show him what
he's gonna be doing?
785
00:26:54,714 --> 00:26:55,980
-[Jerry] I say, let's do it.
-All right.
786
00:26:55,982 --> 00:26:57,047
You got your work boots on?
787
00:26:57,049 --> 00:26:58,148
[Solomon] What's left of 'em.
788
00:27:08,928 --> 00:27:10,327
Yeah, I thought
planting this corn would be
789
00:27:10,329 --> 00:27:11,629
a whole lot harder,
didn't you?
790
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:12,963
Ain't nothing to it,
are there?
791
00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:14,565
[Digger] Uh-uh.
792
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:15,899
-[cell phone vibrating]
-Hell.
793
00:27:15,901 --> 00:27:16,967
[cell phone vibrating]
794
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:17,901
Well, hell, there's John
795
00:27:17,903 --> 00:27:19,403
down at
English Mountain Spring Water.
796
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:22,006
Hello, John.
797
00:27:24,610 --> 00:27:25,376
All right.
798
00:27:25,378 --> 00:27:26,543
We got
a little more work to do,
799
00:27:26,612 --> 00:27:29,079
but we'll be right there
as soon as we can.
800
00:27:29,081 --> 00:27:30,414
All right.
We'll see you in a little bit.
801
00:27:31,684 --> 00:27:33,951
What did he say?
He wants us to come see him?
802
00:27:33,953 --> 00:27:35,786
He said, "I got something
I want to tell y'all."
803
00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:37,655
Damn it.
It can't be good news.
804
00:27:37,657 --> 00:27:39,423
The damn ram pump's gone,
805
00:27:39,425 --> 00:27:41,759
John at English Mountain's
a-calling us.
806
00:27:41,761 --> 00:27:43,627
This is all connected somehow.
807
00:27:43,696 --> 00:27:46,263
When somebody
wants to talk to you
808
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:48,032
and they don't want
to talk on the phone,
809
00:27:48,034 --> 00:27:50,934
it's either bad news
or they want to borrow money.
810
00:27:50,936 --> 00:27:52,336
He don't need no money.
811
00:27:52,438 --> 00:27:53,871
[Mark] Dag damn it!
812
00:27:58,210 --> 00:27:59,610
[Mark] I don't know.
813
00:27:59,612 --> 00:28:02,513
Honestly,
with that pump being gone,
814
00:28:02,515 --> 00:28:06,083
I'm keeping my fingers
crossed, 'cause there ain't
no way of knowing who got it.
815
00:28:06,085 --> 00:28:08,318
[Digger] I hope
it was a thief that got it.
816
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,353
[Mark] I hope you're right.
817
00:28:09,422 --> 00:28:11,522
I really, really hope
you're right.
818
00:28:11,524 --> 00:28:12,723
[Digger] We're headed
over here
819
00:28:12,725 --> 00:28:14,058
to see John Burleson,
820
00:28:14,060 --> 00:28:15,693
that owns
English Mountain Spring.
821
00:28:15,695 --> 00:28:18,128
He wants to meet
with us pretty urgently.
822
00:28:19,932 --> 00:28:20,697
[John] Hey, guys!
823
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:22,599
-[Digger] Hello, John!
-Hey!
824
00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:25,669
We pull up and, uh,
John's coming out the door
825
00:28:25,671 --> 00:28:27,071
before I can even
put the truck in park
826
00:28:27,073 --> 00:28:28,072
and get my seatbelt off.
827
00:28:28,074 --> 00:28:29,440
Well, you know, it...
828
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:31,341
It may be something,
it may not,
829
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:33,777
but some of the neighbors
had told me they'd been seeing
830
00:28:33,779 --> 00:28:34,845
a vehicle around,
831
00:28:34,847 --> 00:28:36,180
and then they'd been seeing
a strange guy,
832
00:28:36,182 --> 00:28:38,182
so I looked
at some cameras that...
833
00:28:38,184 --> 00:28:40,617
And saw somebody
that I didn't recognize,
834
00:28:40,686 --> 00:28:42,619
but, uh, you know,
he was walking back up
835
00:28:42,655 --> 00:28:43,887
toward the spring.
836
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:46,623
He acted like he was looking
for something specific.
837
00:28:46,692 --> 00:28:48,425
I thought it might have been
somebody just ginsenging,
838
00:28:48,427 --> 00:28:50,260
or whatever,
but he was too nice dressed,
839
00:28:50,362 --> 00:28:52,796
and then I got a eye
on the vehicle,
840
00:28:52,798 --> 00:28:55,099
and it was a gray SUV.
841
00:28:55,101 --> 00:28:57,401
A silvery gray SUV. Uh...
842
00:28:57,403 --> 00:28:58,302
Four-door?
843
00:28:58,304 --> 00:28:59,203
-Big back?
-Yeah.
844
00:28:59,205 --> 00:29:01,004
-Yeah.
-Like a Tahoe type thing?
845
00:29:01,006 --> 00:29:03,774
Yeah. I just felt like
you needed to know.
846
00:29:03,776 --> 00:29:07,311
[Digger] A guy wearing brown,
big, khaki, BDU-type britches?
847
00:29:07,313 --> 00:29:08,412
Yeah. Yeah.
848
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:11,281
From what he described,
that's law enforcement.
849
00:29:11,283 --> 00:29:13,317
John, thank you so much.
850
00:29:13,319 --> 00:29:14,685
-[John] No problem, guys.
-We appreciate that heads-up.
851
00:29:14,687 --> 00:29:15,619
We're going to take heed.
852
00:29:15,621 --> 00:29:17,521
Whoever finds them hoses
and that ram pump,
853
00:29:17,523 --> 00:29:18,522
-they're welcome to it.
-Yeah.
854
00:29:18,524 --> 00:29:20,057
We have some stuff there,
855
00:29:20,059 --> 00:29:22,526
but honestly, I don't think
it's anything that
856
00:29:22,528 --> 00:29:23,827
can incriminate us.
857
00:29:23,896 --> 00:29:25,829
Still, at the end of the day,
858
00:29:25,898 --> 00:29:28,031
you know, we've got to be
ever-vigilant.
859
00:29:28,033 --> 00:29:31,668
We've got to be sure
of every step that we take.
860
00:29:31,670 --> 00:29:34,071
I say we don't do nothing
for a few days.
861
00:29:34,073 --> 00:29:35,405
Let's just lay low, and...
862
00:29:35,407 --> 00:29:37,207
I'd rather have a late start,
863
00:29:37,209 --> 00:29:40,043
if it's to start my tour
in the penitentiary.
864
00:29:40,045 --> 00:29:42,312
Dag damn it!
865
00:29:42,314 --> 00:29:44,748
-Well...
-I don't usually say this
in my older years,
866
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:47,317
but right now,
I sure could use a cold beer.
867
00:29:59,365 --> 00:30:00,330
[Mike] Couldn't see it,
though.
868
00:30:01,534 --> 00:30:02,666
[Jerry] Through here.
869
00:30:02,668 --> 00:30:03,867
[Mike] In order to stay
totally hidden,
870
00:30:03,869 --> 00:30:05,402
my and Jerry's still site
this season,
871
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:07,104
it's way back in the woods.
872
00:30:07,106 --> 00:30:08,705
It's in the middle
of a laurel thicket.
873
00:30:08,774 --> 00:30:10,874
About here is where
the trail ends, old Sol,
874
00:30:10,876 --> 00:30:12,276
and the work begins.
875
00:30:12,278 --> 00:30:14,945
We're gonna take Solomon
up there to help us clear ou
876
00:30:14,947 --> 00:30:16,713
so me and Jerry can
get our stuff packed in.
877
00:30:16,715 --> 00:30:19,783
You see this big old,
huge, laurel thicket
we got over here?
878
00:30:19,785 --> 00:30:20,818
[Jerry] That's where
we're gonna be.
879
00:30:23,689 --> 00:30:25,088
[Solomon] Oh,
it's thick, ain't it?
880
00:30:25,090 --> 00:30:27,724
Popcorn Sutton,
everybody in these mountains
know who he is.
881
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,027
As a matter of fact, people
far and wide know who he is.
882
00:30:30,029 --> 00:30:32,129
[Mike] We need
a pretty big area,
883
00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:33,363
so we ain't turning around
884
00:30:33,365 --> 00:30:34,665
-and hitting
in the damn limbs.
-[Solomon] Yeah.
885
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:36,700
Solomon being
Popcorn Sutton's son
could be...
886
00:30:36,769 --> 00:30:38,101
It could be very beneficial.
887
00:30:38,103 --> 00:30:39,970
I mean, he's...
He's kind of legendary
888
00:30:39,972 --> 00:30:41,171
in this area that we're in.
889
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,073
But not only
with just having that name,
890
00:30:43,075 --> 00:30:44,308
there might be
tricks of the trade
891
00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:46,710
that he learned
from either his dad
892
00:30:46,712 --> 00:30:47,878
or some other family members
893
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,413
that's been
in the business for years.
894
00:30:49,415 --> 00:30:50,914
That might
help us out a little bit.
895
00:30:50,916 --> 00:30:52,216
[Mike] All right,
let's get out of your way,
896
00:30:52,218 --> 00:30:53,784
so you can get
your stuff to deal with.
897
00:30:53,786 --> 00:30:57,554
[chain saw revving]
898
00:31:00,192 --> 00:31:01,325
[Solomon] Yeehaw!
899
00:31:03,996 --> 00:31:05,529
Man, don't get
all these stumps out,
900
00:31:05,531 --> 00:31:06,897
somebody will break
their head off.
901
00:31:06,899 --> 00:31:08,899
[chain saw revving]
902
00:31:08,901 --> 00:31:10,534
Look at how much space
we got here already.
903
00:31:10,636 --> 00:31:11,869
I know.
904
00:31:11,871 --> 00:31:13,237
[Jerry] So the most important
thing right now we need to do,
905
00:31:13,338 --> 00:31:14,805
is we need to get
set up for our water.
906
00:31:14,807 --> 00:31:16,707
You clear us a path
right up through yonder.
907
00:31:16,808 --> 00:31:17,807
Right on up through there?
908
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:18,942
If we can get us
a good, flat spot up there,
909
00:31:18,944 --> 00:31:20,811
about, I don't know,
40, 50 yards up through there.
910
00:31:20,913 --> 00:31:22,012
[chain saw revving]
911
00:31:22,014 --> 00:31:23,080
[Jerry] We don't want
to make this look like
912
00:31:23,082 --> 00:31:24,514
a highway coming through her
913
00:31:24,516 --> 00:31:27,117
We want to cut as minimal
an amount of stuff as we can,
914
00:31:27,185 --> 00:31:28,452
because we want
everything to look,
915
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,454
you know, secluded
as much as possible.
916
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:31,722
[Solomon] Damn it.
917
00:31:31,790 --> 00:31:32,923
It's so thick.
918
00:31:32,925 --> 00:31:34,825
It's all you can do
to walk through here.
919
00:31:36,228 --> 00:31:37,561
We're getting somewhere.
920
00:31:37,630 --> 00:31:39,396
-[Mike] Getting somewhere.
-Slowly but surely.
921
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:40,864
I'll tell you what,
this little cat
922
00:31:40,866 --> 00:31:42,699
knows how to work
around a chain saw.
923
00:31:42,801 --> 00:31:45,202
Right here behind this tree,
it flattens out pretty good.
924
00:31:45,304 --> 00:31:46,870
Cut a little path out,
and now it would be
925
00:31:46,872 --> 00:31:48,304
a good spot
to put the water barrel.
926
00:31:48,306 --> 00:31:50,507
[Mike] I believe it's gonna
make some good liquor for us
927
00:31:50,509 --> 00:31:52,309
[chain saw revving]
928
00:31:52,311 --> 00:31:54,111
[Solomon] I think this
would make a pretty good spot.
929
00:31:54,179 --> 00:31:55,679
I can see the creek
right down there.
930
00:31:55,681 --> 00:31:57,180
I think we can go
right over there,
931
00:31:57,182 --> 00:31:58,815
get a barrel set up here,
932
00:31:58,817 --> 00:32:00,617
that would be a straight shot
right through there,
933
00:32:00,619 --> 00:32:01,618
right over yonder.
934
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:02,920
[Jerry] Sounds good to me.
935
00:32:02,922 --> 00:32:04,053
[Mike] Yeah.
936
00:32:17,069 --> 00:32:19,202
I just got back to Virginia,
and the first thing
937
00:32:19,204 --> 00:32:20,136
that Henry tells me
938
00:32:20,138 --> 00:32:21,872
is the fire marshal's
looking for me.
939
00:32:23,309 --> 00:32:25,876
The whole time he's talking,
all I can think about is,
940
00:32:25,878 --> 00:32:27,511
"Have they found
the still site?"
941
00:32:27,513 --> 00:32:29,446
If they're just asking me
questions about a fire,
942
00:32:29,548 --> 00:32:30,714
hell, that ain't no big deal.
943
00:32:30,783 --> 00:32:33,183
We had a fire.
[bleep] happens.
944
00:32:33,185 --> 00:32:35,552
But if they're asking me
questions about a fire
945
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:37,454
to find out if I got a still,
946
00:32:38,624 --> 00:32:40,524
now that's
a whole 'nother ballgame.
947
00:32:42,094 --> 00:32:44,328
So now I'm headed
over to the still site.
948
00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:45,996
Henry told me to lay low,
949
00:32:45,998 --> 00:32:47,965
don't worry
about none of that,
950
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:49,533
but I think
it makes more sense
951
00:32:49,601 --> 00:32:50,934
for me to slip in here.
952
00:32:50,936 --> 00:32:52,502
I'm just gonna do
a little snooping around,
953
00:32:52,504 --> 00:32:54,237
a little investigating.
954
00:32:54,339 --> 00:32:57,341
Hopefully, everything looks
like it's been untouched,
955
00:32:57,442 --> 00:33:00,010
and they're just asking
me questions about a fire.
956
00:33:03,048 --> 00:33:04,081
[car door opens]
957
00:33:05,417 --> 00:33:06,516
Let's go.
958
00:33:09,188 --> 00:33:10,520
[car door closes]
959
00:33:14,526 --> 00:33:17,194
[intense music playing]
960
00:33:25,771 --> 00:33:26,803
There it is, right here.
961
00:33:32,077 --> 00:33:33,677
Oh, my God.
962
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:36,046
Oh, no!
963
00:33:36,815 --> 00:33:39,116
Our whole site's
been destroyed.
964
00:33:39,217 --> 00:33:40,884
This can't be
[bleep] happening.
965
00:33:43,322 --> 00:33:45,322
Oh, my God.
966
00:33:46,058 --> 00:33:47,324
Oh, my gosh.
967
00:33:47,326 --> 00:33:48,692
It has to be the law.
968
00:33:48,694 --> 00:33:50,127
Argh!
969
00:33:50,129 --> 00:33:52,029
They done blown
our [bleep] still site
970
00:33:52,031 --> 00:33:53,697
all the way to smithereens.
971
00:33:56,201 --> 00:33:58,201
There's [bleep]
all the way up in the trees.
972
00:33:58,203 --> 00:33:59,669
They blew our still site up.
973
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:00,504
There ain't no way about it.
974
00:34:00,506 --> 00:34:01,705
I gotta go tell Henry.
975
00:34:11,917 --> 00:34:13,316
[Mark] What the hell is this?
976
00:34:13,685 --> 00:34:14,618
Whoa!
977
00:34:14,620 --> 00:34:15,819
Jesus.
978
00:34:15,821 --> 00:34:17,287
We're looking around,
and I hear Mark
979
00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:18,622
give out a little squall.
980
00:34:18,624 --> 00:34:20,123
Where in the hell
did this casket
981
00:34:20,125 --> 00:34:21,892
with Popcorn in it come from?
982
00:34:21,894 --> 00:34:22,926
A fan.
983
00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:24,828
[Mark] I ain't never
seen that. That's creepy.
984
00:34:24,830 --> 00:34:27,230
He didn't know about
little Popcorn, apparently,
985
00:34:27,232 --> 00:34:28,965
and he is quite spooky.
986
00:34:28,967 --> 00:34:30,901
Hey, we're gonna
come up here one night, late,
987
00:34:30,903 --> 00:34:33,036
and he'll be walking
around here like Chucky.
988
00:34:33,038 --> 00:34:34,704
Hope he ain't got
a butcher knife, though.
989
00:34:34,773 --> 00:34:35,605
Tell him bye.
990
00:34:35,607 --> 00:34:37,340
Bye, Popcorn.
Close him up.
991
00:34:37,810 --> 00:34:38,608
Damn.
992
00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:40,277
I don't like stuff like that
993
00:34:40,279 --> 00:34:42,712
but Popcorn would
have loved that.
994
00:34:42,714 --> 00:34:44,414
[Digger] He'd have put that
right in his living room.
995
00:34:52,057 --> 00:34:53,090
[knocking at door]
996
00:34:53,826 --> 00:34:55,092
Henry.
997
00:34:56,462 --> 00:34:57,194
[Henry] Josh?
998
00:34:57,196 --> 00:34:57,894
Yeah.
999
00:34:58,564 --> 00:34:59,596
What's going on, man?
1000
00:34:59,598 --> 00:35:02,432
Man, curiosity
has been killing me.
1001
00:35:02,501 --> 00:35:03,900
[Henry] What are
you talking about?
1002
00:35:03,902 --> 00:35:05,902
[Josh] Well, you said that guy
was looking for me,
1003
00:35:05,904 --> 00:35:07,971
I damn got to wondering
why are they...
1004
00:35:07,973 --> 00:35:09,940
Why are they looking for me?
1005
00:35:09,942 --> 00:35:12,275
So I slipped on out there
to the still site,
1006
00:35:12,277 --> 00:35:14,277
and it's been blew up.
1007
00:35:15,114 --> 00:35:16,413
It's destroyed.
1008
00:35:16,415 --> 00:35:18,281
There's nothing in place.
It's all gone.
1009
00:35:18,283 --> 00:35:19,916
The only thing that's there
is the barrels and the creek.
1010
00:35:19,918 --> 00:35:21,218
Everything's everywhere.
1011
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:22,953
It was the law, for sure.
1012
00:35:22,955 --> 00:35:24,087
I'm in trouble.
1013
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:28,892
When we cut those lines,
we cut the power lines.
1014
00:35:28,894 --> 00:35:30,227
[Josh] Can they
prove they're mine?
1015
00:35:30,229 --> 00:35:31,228
[Henry] It's a good chance.
1016
00:35:31,230 --> 00:35:32,362
The lease agreement's
in your name.
1017
00:35:32,364 --> 00:35:33,396
It don't look good.
1018
00:35:33,398 --> 00:35:34,831
We've lost the house,
lost the stills,
1019
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:36,666
and lost the still site.
1020
00:35:36,668 --> 00:35:37,801
What are we going to do?
1021
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:39,102
What am I going to do?
1022
00:35:39,204 --> 00:35:40,437
Am I going to jail?
1023
00:35:40,906 --> 00:35:43,173
Jail is hell.
1024
00:35:43,175 --> 00:35:44,941
Yeah, but you know when you
get into this business, son,
1025
00:35:44,943 --> 00:35:47,544
the chances of going to jail
is pretty, pretty high.
1026
00:35:50,082 --> 00:35:51,915
You need to lay low
for a few weeks.
1027
00:35:51,917 --> 00:35:53,283
I've been looking
at another site.
1028
00:35:53,285 --> 00:35:55,118
We could go there
and set up something,
1029
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:56,653
and maybe you
could stay there with it.
1030
00:35:56,655 --> 00:35:58,321
You're gonna make me
go to the woods?
1031
00:35:59,124 --> 00:36:00,290
Keep an eye
on the damn place,
1032
00:36:00,292 --> 00:36:02,092
and we'll kick you
a little bit more money
out of it.
1033
00:36:03,228 --> 00:36:04,828
I think that would be
the way to roll.
1034
00:36:04,896 --> 00:36:05,929
We got to make some money.
1035
00:36:05,931 --> 00:36:06,930
We got customers
who want liquor.
1036
00:36:06,932 --> 00:36:08,064
We got no liquor.
1037
00:36:08,066 --> 00:36:09,499
It's up to you, though.
1038
00:36:09,501 --> 00:36:10,901
Think about it tonight.
1039
00:36:10,903 --> 00:36:12,502
Let me know in the morning.
1040
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:14,204
So can I crash here
tonight, then?
1041
00:36:14,306 --> 00:36:15,405
[Henry] If you want to.
1042
00:36:15,407 --> 00:36:16,873
Can't do
anything else tonight.
1043
00:36:16,875 --> 00:36:19,042
We'll think about it
a little bit more
in the morning.
1044
00:36:35,093 --> 00:36:36,426
[Jerry] Help me to blow in it.
1045
00:36:38,197 --> 00:36:39,629
[Mike blows]
1046
00:36:41,567 --> 00:36:43,099
[Jerry] Blow, blow, blow.
1047
00:36:43,168 --> 00:36:43,934
[clangs]
1048
00:36:43,936 --> 00:36:45,602
You son of a bitch, you!
1049
00:36:45,671 --> 00:36:46,603
[chuckles]
1050
00:36:46,705 --> 00:36:47,870
[chuckling] God!
1051
00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:50,407
The still site's about 40 feet
above our water source,
1052
00:36:50,409 --> 00:36:53,543
so we've got a pump to get
the water to the still site.
1053
00:36:53,645 --> 00:36:55,111
[resounds]
1054
00:36:55,180 --> 00:36:56,146
You got pressure in it.
1055
00:36:56,148 --> 00:36:57,314
It got the pressure
on it, don't it?
1056
00:36:57,316 --> 00:36:59,115
In order to stay
totally hidden this year,
1057
00:36:59,184 --> 00:37:01,451
we got to keep
every part of our operation
1058
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:02,886
as quiet as possible.
1059
00:37:02,888 --> 00:37:04,621
-Hell, yeah.
-Good job.
1060
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:06,790
[Mike] Jerry come up
with a siphon vacuum pump
1061
00:37:06,792 --> 00:37:09,793
that would continuously give
us water, that's 100% solid.
1062
00:37:09,795 --> 00:37:11,194
[Jerry] Obviously,
it's pretty airtight.
1063
00:37:11,196 --> 00:37:13,296
Tell you what,
let's see how it works.
1064
00:37:13,298 --> 00:37:16,066
[narrator] To quietly pump
water up to their still sit
1065
00:37:16,068 --> 00:37:17,534
from the creek below,
1066
00:37:17,603 --> 00:37:20,937
Mike and Jerry will use
a vacuum barrel pump
1067
00:37:20,939 --> 00:37:23,707
consisting of
a large diameter outlet pip
1068
00:37:23,709 --> 00:37:26,810
and a thin inlet pipe
connected to a barrel.
1069
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:29,279
It works on the same princip
as a siphon.
1070
00:37:29,281 --> 00:37:31,715
When the barrel pipe
is primed with water,
1071
00:37:31,816 --> 00:37:33,883
and the outlet pipe
is allowed to flow,
1072
00:37:33,885 --> 00:37:37,120
vacuum pressure
will draw water
up the inlet pipe
1073
00:37:37,122 --> 00:37:39,322
to replace what's flowing
out of the barrel.
1074
00:37:39,391 --> 00:37:42,292
As long as no air is allowe
into the system
1075
00:37:42,294 --> 00:37:43,426
to break the vacuum,
1076
00:37:43,428 --> 00:37:46,096
it will continue to supply
water on demand,
1077
00:37:46,098 --> 00:37:49,132
silently and without the nee
for electricity.
1078
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:51,901
[Mike] I hope what we got here
is gonna work.
1079
00:37:53,805 --> 00:37:54,504
[grunts]
1080
00:37:54,973 --> 00:37:55,872
[water filling]
1081
00:37:55,874 --> 00:37:57,107
Why throw it all together
1082
00:37:57,208 --> 00:37:58,140
and take it to the woods,
1083
00:37:58,142 --> 00:37:59,542
and then find out
you've got a screwup?
1084
00:37:59,611 --> 00:38:01,111
-[Mike] There you go.
-All right.
1085
00:38:01,113 --> 00:38:02,512
[Mike] We're gonna
test run everything,
1086
00:38:02,514 --> 00:38:03,947
make sure
everything's gonna perform
1087
00:38:03,949 --> 00:38:04,881
here in the shop,
1088
00:38:04,883 --> 00:38:06,216
and see
if this thing really works.
1089
00:38:06,285 --> 00:38:07,450
[Jerry] I believe
we're probably good.
1090
00:38:07,486 --> 00:38:08,285
[Mike] All right.
1091
00:38:08,287 --> 00:38:09,819
Let's bung it off,
and well, by God,
1092
00:38:09,821 --> 00:38:11,388
we're gonna see
what's gonna happen, ain't we?
1093
00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:12,588
We got a good site,
1094
00:38:12,590 --> 00:38:14,824
perfect place to be
closed up and hidden,
1095
00:38:14,926 --> 00:38:17,127
but the number one rule
of being a moonshiner,
1096
00:38:17,228 --> 00:38:19,462
you've got to have
good, clean, cold water
1097
00:38:19,531 --> 00:38:20,830
or you're not making liquor
1098
00:38:21,967 --> 00:38:23,033
Crack her slow.
1099
00:38:23,035 --> 00:38:24,167
Just open it up slow.
1100
00:38:25,370 --> 00:38:26,936
[water splashing]
1101
00:38:31,410 --> 00:38:32,442
[Mike] Is it sucking?
1102
00:38:34,379 --> 00:38:36,179
[Jerry] Yeah, it's drawing
water into the barrel.
1103
00:38:36,181 --> 00:38:37,714
My man!
1104
00:38:37,783 --> 00:38:39,816
We've already dropped
a barrel on each already.
1105
00:38:39,918 --> 00:38:41,117
-Seriously?
-Hell, yeah. Look at that.
1106
00:38:41,219 --> 00:38:42,919
-[Mike] Hell, yeah, baby!
-[Jerry] And down an inch.
1107
00:38:42,921 --> 00:38:43,920
It's going, son!
1108
00:38:43,922 --> 00:38:46,723
We've got a system now
that makes no noise.
1109
00:38:46,725 --> 00:38:48,692
Oh, it's just
churning in there.
1110
00:38:48,694 --> 00:38:49,826
It's steadily flowing,
ain't it?
1111
00:38:49,828 --> 00:38:50,860
[imitates pumping sound]
1112
00:38:50,929 --> 00:38:52,462
You're already six inches down
in water already.
1113
00:38:52,564 --> 00:38:55,332
We have got the perfect water
system for our still site.
1114
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,267
That's all the water
we need, man.
1115
00:38:57,269 --> 00:38:59,502
-[Jerry] That's plenty enoug
-[Mike] That's it.
1116
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:17,654
[Mark] Tonight's
the birthday party,
ain't it, Timmy?
1117
00:39:17,656 --> 00:39:18,521
Yep.
1118
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:20,023
How old are you now?
Sixty?
1119
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:20,790
I'll be 60.
1120
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:21,624
[Mark] Sixty!
1121
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:22,758
[Digger] You're old.
1122
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,928
I never dreamed
he'd get that old. Did you?
1123
00:39:24,930 --> 00:39:26,896
Me and you both had
people betting against us
1124
00:39:26,898 --> 00:39:28,064
making it to 30.
1125
00:39:28,066 --> 00:39:29,065
[Timmy] I bet my wife.
1126
00:39:29,067 --> 00:39:30,300
[Digger chuckles]
1127
00:39:36,375 --> 00:39:38,108
[Mark] Oh, hellfire.
1128
00:39:39,444 --> 00:39:41,678
You know, I see something
out of the corner of my eye,
1129
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,213
then over my shoulder, boom.
1130
00:39:43,314 --> 00:39:46,116
On the bar, a ram pump
from our still site
1131
00:39:46,118 --> 00:39:47,684
at English Mountain
Spring Water.
1132
00:39:47,686 --> 00:39:50,820
A officer brings it in,
sets it down,
1133
00:39:50,922 --> 00:39:52,622
never utters a word,
1134
00:39:52,624 --> 00:39:54,023
and leaves.
1135
00:39:54,025 --> 00:39:56,092
God almighty.
1136
00:39:56,094 --> 00:39:58,128
I figured
he's dogging our ass.
1137
00:39:58,196 --> 00:39:59,529
That's David Robertson,
1138
00:39:59,531 --> 00:40:01,431
who's a captain
with our sheriff's department.
1139
00:40:01,433 --> 00:40:04,200
The same David Robertson
pulled us over last year.
1140
00:40:04,202 --> 00:40:05,468
[siren wails]
1141
00:40:05,470 --> 00:40:06,770
[David Robertson] Put
your hands on the hood, ther
1142
00:40:06,772 --> 00:40:08,071
[Mark] Hands on the hood.
1143
00:40:08,073 --> 00:40:10,039
[Robertson] What you hauling
in your barrels back here?
1144
00:40:10,041 --> 00:40:11,140
[Digger] Nothing.
They're empty.
1145
00:40:11,142 --> 00:40:12,108
[Robertson] It smells
like liquor in there.
1146
00:40:12,110 --> 00:40:13,109
[Mark] They'll smell
like liquor
1147
00:40:13,211 --> 00:40:14,277
the rest of their life.
1148
00:40:14,279 --> 00:40:15,945
[David] I got
my eye on you boys.
1149
00:40:17,115 --> 00:40:18,782
You know,
there's one thing I'm sure of.
1150
00:40:18,784 --> 00:40:20,884
You don't want
a guy that's pissed off,
1151
00:40:20,886 --> 00:40:22,519
that wears a badge and a gun,
1152
00:40:22,521 --> 00:40:25,422
and gots some nice handcuffs
he want to put you in.
1153
00:40:25,424 --> 00:40:26,956
He's done his homework.
1154
00:40:26,958 --> 00:40:28,725
He ain't setting
on his hind end.
1155
00:40:28,827 --> 00:40:32,195
I mean, this ain't nothing
to put us in jail,
1156
00:40:32,631 --> 00:40:33,830
but he knows.
1157
00:40:33,832 --> 00:40:35,131
What he brought in,
and laid down in front of us,
1158
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,966
it's not illegal,
it's a ram pump.
1159
00:40:36,968 --> 00:40:40,870
But he is tracking us
like we're prey right now.
1160
00:40:40,872 --> 00:40:42,806
It's getting closer and closer
1161
00:40:42,874 --> 00:40:44,874
to being led
out of here like this.
1162
00:40:44,876 --> 00:40:47,310
I think that
it's his mission
1163
00:40:47,312 --> 00:40:50,713
to lead Mark and Digger
away in handcuffs.
1164
00:40:50,715 --> 00:40:52,882
You remember what he told us?
1165
00:40:52,884 --> 00:40:55,218
"You boys got to get lucky
every time.
1166
00:40:55,220 --> 00:40:57,120
I just got to get lucky once."
1167
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:03,293
[narrator] Next time
on Moonshiners...
1168
00:41:03,295 --> 00:41:05,228
[Mark] He looks like
he's going to dig us a lake.
1169
00:41:05,297 --> 00:41:06,129
[Digger] Uh-huh.
1170
00:41:06,198 --> 00:41:07,931
If that spring's
still running,
1171
00:41:07,933 --> 00:41:09,999
then we'll be in clover.
1172
00:41:10,001 --> 00:41:12,068
Yep, that's Daniel
right there.
1173
00:41:12,070 --> 00:41:14,270
Me coming here
is gonna be good,
1174
00:41:14,272 --> 00:41:16,039
not only for Daniel and I,
1175
00:41:16,041 --> 00:41:18,007
but for the craft,
the moonshine making itself
1176
00:41:18,009 --> 00:41:19,876
It's gonna be
some awesome, awesome stuff.
1177
00:41:19,878 --> 00:41:22,412
I really hope that
Richard Landry and I are
1178
00:41:22,414 --> 00:41:24,047
able to build a legacy.
1179
00:41:24,616 --> 00:41:25,315
[Henry] What is that?
1180
00:41:25,317 --> 00:41:26,316
He's got us blocked.
1181
00:41:26,318 --> 00:41:27,617
