Running out of time.

24
00:01:48,387 --> 00:01:51,284
We got some nasty
weather coming in,
whipping winds,

25
00:01:51,284 --> 00:01:54,732

there's a big enough window

29
00:02:00,456 --> 00:02:02,629
that we can do some
damage before it hits.

30
00:02:10,629 --> 00:02:12,456
[Shawn] Today,
we're treasure hunting.

31
00:02:12,456 --> 00:02:14,939
We only got a few hours here,

32
00:02:14,939 --> 00:02:19,594
and I'm impatient for that
box to turn yellow.

33
00:02:19,594 --> 00:02:23,560
So, I want to find a spot
that's going to just knock
it out of the park.

34
00:02:24,594 --> 00:02:28,698
I'm looking for that cheesy,
easy cheesy band.

[Shawn speaking]

36
00:02:46,180 --> 00:02:47,663
[Shawn] There's no gold
in the pan.

37
00:02:47,663 --> 00:02:52,008
But my gut feeling
with the way the material
looks says to dig it,

38
00:02:52,008 --> 00:02:53,560
so we're going to dig it.

39
00:03:15,215 --> 00:03:18,525
[Shawn] <i>Even though we're not
seeing gold in these pans,</i>

40

41
00:03:21,284 --> 00:03:23,146
I've been doing
this long enough,

42
00:03:23,146 --> 00:03:24,870
I know
what paydirt looks like.

43
00:03:26,111 --> 00:03:28,594
<i>I'm even willing to risk
the whole day on it.</i>

44
00:03:28,594 --> 00:03:32,698
<i>If I'm wrong,
it could kill my chances
to make it to 3,000 ounces.</i>

45
00:03:33,525 --> 00:03:34,939
Pressure's on.

46
00:03:34,939 --> 00:03:36,456

61

[Zeke] <i>And now,
we're switching over

65
00:04:41,939 --> 00:04:44,318
<i>At the start of the season,
we made a deal
with Shawn that</i>

66
00:04:44,318 --> 00:04:46,422
if we can make it seaworthy,
we could take it out

67
00:04:46,422 --> 00:04:48,146
to Tomcod and run
it out there.

68
00:04:48,146 --> 00:04:49,801
<i>This will be a game-changer.</i>

69
00:04:49,801 --> 00:04:52,249
<i>It's a top-flight dredge
with a high-end system and,</i>

70
00:04:52,249 --> 00:04:54,456
<i>most importantly,
it has a 10-inch hose on it.</i>

71
00:04:54,456 --> 00:04:55,870
<i>It's the big league
right there.</i>

72
00:04:55,870 --> 00:04:58,146
It's a colossal
amount of difference.

73
00:04:58,146 --> 00:05:00,284
If I go out on the <i>Havilah</i>
and it looks like

74
00:05:00,284 --> 00:05:02,111
we can pull some
really good numbers

75
00:05:02,111 --> 00:05:03,353
and have like
a really good cleanup,

76
00:05:03,353 --> 00:05:05,249
it's going to make me
think that maybe... maybe

77
00:05:05,249 --> 00:05:09,698
I need to, like, find a way
to segue into, uh...

78
00:05:09,698 --> 00:05:11,974
using a bigger boat.

79
00:05:11,974 --> 00:05:14,422
I went out this summer
thinking that the gold,

80
00:05:14,422 --> 00:05:15,974
there's going to be
more gold

81
00:05:15,974 --> 00:05:18,111
that was going
to be acceptable
for a six-inch dredge,

82
00:05:18,111 --> 00:05:19,939
and I didn't find a lot
of that, uh,

83
00:05:19,939 --> 00:05:22,974
but I did find a lot of places
where the gold would be

84
00:05:22,974 --> 00:05:24,663
really profitable
for a 10-inch dredge.

85
00:05:24,663 --> 00:05:28,111
So, the four of us,
me and Gabe
and Shem and Nate

86
00:05:28,111 --> 00:05:30,008
are just going to, like,
give it a real nice,

87
00:05:30,008 --> 00:05:31,525
hard run on that
10-inch dredge,

88
00:05:31,525 --> 00:05:33,629
and I want to see
what it can do.

89
00:05:33,629 --> 00:05:37,767
I was aiming for 50 ounces,
but I'm only sitting
at about 20 right now,

90
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:39,456
and the summer is almost over.

91
00:05:39,456 --> 00:05:41,111
- There we go.
- There we go, gentlemen.

92
00:05:41,111 --> 00:05:44,456
[Zeke] <i>Getting
on the</i> Havilah <i>is probably
the key to hitting my mark.</i>

93
00:05:44,456 --> 00:05:46,043
<i>The bummer is,
is that there's supposed</i>

94
00:05:46,043 --> 00:05:48,284
<i>to be giant swells
headed our way.</i>

95
00:05:48,284 --> 00:05:49,939
And these swells
could be so bad that

96
00:05:49,939 --> 00:05:51,249
they could keep us
off the water,

97
00:05:51,249 --> 00:05:52,732
which would be a huge
bummer because

98
00:05:52,732 --> 00:05:55,905
I'm really looking forward
to seeing what this dredge
could do for us.

99
00:05:55,905 --> 00:05:59,077
Man, I want to go, um,
if it's calm, you know
what I mean?

100
00:05:59,077 --> 00:06:00,836
I don't know.
That swell's just weird.

101
00:06:00,836 --> 00:06:03,974
It's like this north wind
should be right putting
it down and it's not.

102
00:06:03,974 --> 00:06:06,560
Swell's determined
by tides, right?

103
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,663
No, I think that swell
is a big weather system

104
00:06:08,663 --> 00:06:10,905
that's happening like
out in the Bering Sea somewhere,

105
00:06:10,905 --> 00:06:12,215
there's a big storm out there.

106
00:06:12,215 --> 00:06:14,491
It's just like pushing up
this big [bleep] swell.

107
00:06:14,491 --> 00:06:17,491
At this point with like,
what the weather's doing
and how spotty it is,

108
00:06:17,491 --> 00:06:19,180
we just like,
we look at the weather report

109
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:22,215
and then look at it out there
and make a judgment call.

110
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:24,249
You know, we'll just
keep an eye on it.

111
00:06:24,249 --> 00:06:25,698
For sure.

112
00:06:25,698 --> 00:06:27,560
Should just did some
witchcraft and like,

113
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,387
sacrifice a small
goat to appeal
to the gods of weather.

114
00:06:32,387 --> 00:06:34,525
- [Zeke] I know a guy.
- [Nate] You got a guy there?

115
00:06:34,525 --> 00:06:35,698
You got a goat guy?

116
00:06:35,698 --> 00:06:37,146
[Zeke] We got a goat guy.

Fingers crossed.

124
00:07:00,284 --> 00:07:02,180
So I paid this guy,

<i>to fly up from California
to get this excavator running.</i>

130
00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:16,594
It's big risk, high reward.

131
00:07:17,387 --> 00:07:20,491
Kris, got news for you.

132
00:07:20,491 --> 00:07:22,698

What do you think

135
00:07:28,801 --> 00:07:30,594
Yeah.
That started like nothing.

136
00:07:30,594 --> 00:07:32,008
Do you hear that?

137
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,525
That's [bleep]
purring like a kitten.

138
00:07:36,525 --> 00:07:37,939
Well, he fixed.

139
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,180
Yeah, baby.

140
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:46,387
Yes, finally, I thought
this was never going
to start again.

141
00:07:46,387 --> 00:07:49,387
<i>This excavator was going
to be a giant heap
of rusting metal</i>

<i>on the Nome shore.</i>

143
00:07:51,111 --> 00:07:52,629
But now
we're back in business.

144
00:07:53,215 --> 00:07:55,111
Come on, let's go.

145
00:07:55,111 --> 00:07:56,801
We've got everything up
and running.

00:07:56,801 --> 00:07:59,629
Today's the day,
the first day of the rest
of the season.

147
00:07:59,629 --> 00:08:00,732
No excuses.

148
00:08:00,732 --> 00:08:03,111
We're getting gold
no matter what.

149
00:08:03,111 --> 00:08:06,698
So, we owe 125,000
in just a few days,

150
00:08:06,698 --> 00:08:08,836
or this whole operation
is going to tank.

151
00:08:08,836 --> 00:08:10,353
<i>Right now,
I'm not even close.</i>

152
00:08:10,353 --> 00:08:13,077
<i>So it's like a mad dash
to pull this off this summer.</i>

153
00:08:13,077 --> 00:08:15,456
<i>I'm even taking this guy,
Kris, with me mining</i>

154
00:08:15,456 --> 00:08:17,767
<i>just to make sure
this doesn't break down again.</i>

155
00:08:17,767 --> 00:08:19,698
I'm not taking any chances.

156
00:08:19,698 --> 00:08:22,284
I got Kris and his wife
here with me.

157
00:08:22,284 --> 00:08:23,836
We're going to get
out there

158
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:26,663
and I'm sure they're going
to have a great vacation
out there on the water,

159
00:08:26,663 --> 00:08:29,284
but I'm really bringing them
in case [bleep] goes bad.

160
00:08:29,284 --> 00:08:31,111
Any problems

164
00:08:40,698 --> 00:08:41,801
We're going to push hard.

165
00:08:41,801 --> 00:08:43,180
We're going to make
this happen,

166
00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:45,905
and we're still going
to get at least 200
or 300 ounces

167
00:08:45,905 --> 00:08:49,077
before the [bleep] season
is over. Watch.

168
00:08:49,077 --> 00:08:51,456
We're going to call Kevin,
tell him the good news,

169
00:08:51,456 --> 00:08:54,594
because if anybody needs
good news, it's Kevin.

170
00:08:54,594 --> 00:08:56,318
Yo, buddy, can you hear me?

171
00:08:56,318 --> 00:08:57,836
[Kevin speaking on phone]

172
00:08:58,836 --> 00:09:00,663
Hey, we're going
on the water today.

173
00:09:00,663 --> 00:09:02,215
Everything's fixed.

174
00:09:02,215 --> 00:09:04,663
[Kevin speaking on phone]

175
00:09:04,663 --> 00:09:06,215
We're going to get some gold.

176
00:09:06,215 --> 00:09:07,663
[Kevin speaking on phone]

177
00:09:09,456 --> 00:09:10,939
Kevin is happy.

178
00:09:10,939 --> 00:09:12,146
You know,
it's always funny

179
00:09:12,146 --> 00:09:14,732
when you start making money,
everybody loves you again.

180
00:09:14,732 --> 00:09:17,387
So the good news
is this albatross is working,

181
00:09:17,387 --> 00:09:19,077
<i>and we can finally get gold.</i>

182
00:09:19,077 --> 00:09:20,939
<i>The bad news,
the storm is coming</i>

183
00:09:20,939 --> 00:09:22,939
<i>and it's going to knock
us off the water.</i>

184
00:09:22,939 --> 00:09:25,560
So it's a race today
to get as much material
in the box

185
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:26,870
before we get booted.

186
00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:29,767
I need this excavator
to start paying for itself.

187
00:09:29,767 --> 00:09:31,456
I've got people
with families.

188
00:09:31,456 --> 00:09:33,215
I can't let everybody
go bankrupt.

189
00:09:39,525 --> 00:09:40,698
[man speaking]

190
00:09:45,284 --> 00:09:46,456
[man] Hey, we're good.

191
00:09:52,456 --> 00:09:53,939
Yeah!

192
00:09:56,456 --> 00:09:58,629
It all started
and warmed up for you.

193
00:09:58,629 --> 00:09:59,974
[James speaking]

194
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:02,284
[James] We've left
the excavator running
this whole time.

195
00:10:02,284 --> 00:10:05,180
Hopefully, this thing
lasts us a couple of hours,
a couple of days.

196
00:10:05,180 --> 00:10:06,422
Who knows?

197
00:10:15,629 --> 00:10:17,353
James is in the excavator.

198
00:10:17,353 --> 00:10:18,629
We're going to start
making gold,

199
00:10:18,629 --> 00:10:21,008
and all I got to say,
it's about [bleep] time.

200
00:10:28,836 --> 00:10:29,974
[man speaking]

201
00:10:29,974 --> 00:10:31,387
Yeah, baby.

202
00:10:32,663 --> 00:10:34,284
[Kris speaking]

203
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:40,525
First test pan of the day,
40 colors,
great [bleep] start.

204
00:10:44,008 --> 00:10:45,629
[machine beeping]

205
00:10:48,353 --> 00:10:49,767
[James speaking]

206
00:10:51,939 --> 00:10:53,594
[Kris] Oh, that's not good.

207
00:10:54,836 --> 00:10:56,249
What's the matter?

208
00:10:57,146 --> 00:10:58,974
[James speaking]

209
00:11:06,974 --> 00:11:08,836
Try to idle this bitch up.

210
00:11:12,456 --> 00:11:14,284
It's not idling up at all?

211
00:11:18,422 --> 00:11:21,146
We're having problems
with the communication again.

212
00:11:26,732 --> 00:11:29,698
All right.
So I got Kris brought it.

213
00:11:29,698 --> 00:11:30,974
He's going to do
the best he can,

214
00:11:30,974 --> 00:11:34,215
but he's not
a [bleep] magician.

215
00:11:34,215 --> 00:11:37,629
[Kris] I don't understand it.
It worked [bleep].

216
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:41,939
The problem
is we don't know
what the problem is.

217
00:11:41,939 --> 00:11:43,249
That's the problem.

218
00:11:49,456 --> 00:11:50,974
[machine beeping]

219
00:11:50,974 --> 00:11:52,456
[Kris] Oh, you [bleep]
sack of [bleep]!

220
00:11:54,318 --> 00:11:56,801
If this excavator
doesn't fire back up,

221
00:11:56,801 --> 00:11:58,836
it's in a really [bleep]
position

222
00:11:58,836 --> 00:12:01,284
and I won't even be
able to dock up the harbor.

223
00:12:01,905 --> 00:12:03,698
It's all bad.

224
00:12:03,698 --> 00:12:06,836
[bleep] man,
one thing
or [bleep] another.

225
00:12:09,525 --> 00:12:11,974
What [bleep] joke, man.

226
00:12:20,594 --> 00:12:22,491
[Vernon] <i>I don't know
how long this is going
to last.</i>

227
00:12:22,491 --> 00:12:24,077
<i>Nobody does.</i>

228
00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:26,629
<i>These weather forecasts,
you can pretty much
wipe your butt on them,</i>

229
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:29,008
<i>for all the good they are.</i>

230
00:12:29,008 --> 00:12:32,146
[narrator] <i>Rather than
playing chicken
with the approaching storm,</i>

231
00:12:32,146 --> 00:12:35,594
<i>Vernon Adkison
isn't taking any chances.</i>

232
00:12:36,732 --> 00:12:38,249
[Vernon] <i>I've been
through these periods,</i>

233
00:12:38,249 --> 00:12:40,422
<i>I don't know
how many times up here.</i>

234
00:12:40,422 --> 00:12:41,974
<i>Extremely frustrating.</i>

235
00:12:41,974 --> 00:12:44,284
There's nothing worse
than being stuck up here

236
00:12:44,284 --> 00:12:46,663
hemorrhaging money
and nothing's coming in.

237
00:12:46,663 --> 00:12:48,077
We're up here
to gold mine,

238
00:12:48,077 --> 00:12:50,629
but the weather
doesn't let you do it.

239
00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:52,698
Not a damn thing
you can do about it.

240
00:12:52,698 --> 00:12:55,629
So, there's no sense
in even going out.

241
00:12:55,629 --> 00:12:59,491
<i>The forecast is terrible,
particularly
for out on Claim 56.</i>

242
00:12:59,491 --> 00:13:02,387
We've had a few hiccups
with the gold ship
this season.

243
00:13:02,387 --> 00:13:05,215
I can't risk getting
her knocked out right now.

244
00:13:05,215 --> 00:13:08,318
<i>I've got to keep her healthy
for the last push.</i>

245
00:13:08,318 --> 00:13:10,180
<i>So it pains me not to be
out there,</i>

246
00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:14,318
but it's a decision
I made as a captain
and that's it.

247
00:13:14,318 --> 00:13:16,215
It's part of the drill
up here,

248
00:13:16,215 --> 00:13:19,870
this happens frequently,
believe me.

249
00:13:19,870 --> 00:13:22,249
Let's go down
to Airport Pizza,

250
00:13:22,249 --> 00:13:25,525
get some coffee,
get warmed up.

251
00:13:25,525 --> 00:13:27,215
It is what it is.

252
00:13:28,594 --> 00:13:32,180
[narrator] <i>While Vernon
stays onshore,
two miles east...</i>

253
00:13:42,974 --> 00:13:44,767
[Jeff speaking]

254
00:13:49,353 --> 00:13:51,043
[Emily speaking]

255
00:13:53,836 --> 00:13:55,629
[narrator] <i>Emily Riedel
is choosing to push</i>

256
00:13:55,629 --> 00:13:58,318
<i>through conditions
while she still can.</i>

257
00:13:59,043 --> 00:14:00,491
A little swell won't hurt him.

258
00:14:00,491 --> 00:14:02,836
[Jane speaking]

259
00:14:02,836 --> 00:14:05,387
[Emily] Yeah, or I,
I'll probably vomit first.

260
00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:08,560
A goal this season
is 250 ounces,

261
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:10,111
and I think it's within reach.

262
00:14:10,111 --> 00:14:12,146
<i>We're down to the last
few days of the season,</i>

263
00:14:12,146 --> 00:14:14,043
<i>and we've got a storm
rolling in soon,</i>

264
00:14:14,043 --> 00:14:16,146
<i>so we're down
to the last couple hours.</i>

265
00:14:16,146 --> 00:14:18,077
So, we're going to push,
we're going to dive
in with Jeff.

266
00:14:18,077 --> 00:14:19,836
But we got some
swells coming in,

267
00:14:19,836 --> 00:14:21,491
so it's not going
to be pretty.

268
00:14:21,491 --> 00:14:23,525
[Emily singing]

269
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,008
That boat's going
to be rocking.

270
00:14:30,525 --> 00:14:32,043
[producer speaking]

271
00:14:32,043 --> 00:14:33,939
[Jane speaking]

272
00:14:39,043 --> 00:14:41,836
[Emily] All right, let's go.

273
00:14:41,836 --> 00:14:46,215
I'm just looking this way
because the diver
is changing his clothes.

274
00:14:46,215 --> 00:14:47,663
I've already seen him
naked once.

275
00:14:47,663 --> 00:14:49,732
I don't need to see it again.

276
00:14:49,732 --> 00:14:51,422
- [Emily] Ready?
- [Jeff speaking]

277
00:14:56,732 --> 00:14:58,111
[Jeff speaking]

278
00:15:08,456 --> 00:15:10,456
[Emily] <i>How's it going
down there, Jeffrey?</i>

279
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:12,456
[Jeff speaking]

280
00:15:19,318 --> 00:15:20,525
[Emily] Okay.

281
00:15:25,353 --> 00:15:27,111
[Jeff speaking]

282
00:15:29,387 --> 00:15:31,111
[Emily] You're in front
of the boat.

283
00:15:31,698 --> 00:15:33,146
[Jeff speaking]

284
00:15:45,767 --> 00:15:47,905
[Emily] <i>Ah, that sounds
awesome.</i>

285
00:15:47,905 --> 00:15:49,870
I think he's going
underneath the boat.

286
00:15:52,594 --> 00:15:54,180
[Jeff speaking]

287
00:15:55,008 --> 00:15:56,284
[Emily] <i>Good, good.</i>

288
00:15:56,284 --> 00:15:57,905
[Jeff speaking]

289
00:15:59,422 --> 00:16:00,801
[Emily] Woo-hoo.

290
00:16:00,801 --> 00:16:02,560
[Jeff speaking]

291
00:16:07,836 --> 00:16:09,491
[Emily] This swell's
coming down a bit,

292
00:16:09,491 --> 00:16:11,284
hopefully,
it keeps coming down.

293
00:16:11,801 --> 00:16:14,008
[Jeff speaking]

294
00:16:14,008 --> 00:16:16,767
Good day, man. Jeff's on
the gold, we're making money.

[Andy] That's a beautiful day
on the water.

297
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:32,905
Good old <i>Reaper</i> right here.

298
00:16:34,525 --> 00:16:36,456
It's small,
but it does the job.

299
00:16:36,456 --> 00:16:37,939
[narrator]
<i>With the</i> Mistress <i>down,</i>

300
00:16:37,939 --> 00:16:43,008
<i>Andy Kelly is currently
the only Kelly

301
00:16:43,008 --> 00:16:45,318
Reaper Nation,
really there hasn't been
a nation,

302
00:16:45,318 --> 00:16:47,249
there's only just been
the <i>Reaper</i> really.

303
00:16:47,249 --> 00:16:49,939
My brother brought up
this specialist guy to see

304
00:16:49,939 --> 00:16:52,146
if they could get
something running.

305
00:16:52,146 --> 00:16:54,525
They're not going to get
nothing up and running.

306
00:16:54,525 --> 00:16:58,836
So I'm taking my buddy,
Daniel and Anthony
from that crew,

307
00:16:58,836 --> 00:17:01,974
and we're all going
to go dredging.

308
00:17:01,974 --> 00:17:04,801
Oh, I can see right
over your head,
dude, don't worry.

309
00:17:04,801 --> 00:17:07,525
That's what I love about
working with short people.

us on the gold board.</i>

313
00:17:17,146 --> 00:17:18,836
<i>So it can't only be
me diving,</i>

314
00:17:18,836 --> 00:17:20,939
<i>so I'm going to put
two new guys through
the wringer.</i>

315

<i>We're going to see
what they can do.</i>

316

<i>My buddy, Daniel,
he's been helping out
on the boat.</i>

317

<i>And Anthony,
who stunk it up last time</i>

318
00:17:27,629 --> 00:17:29,629
<i>he dived under Kris' guidance.</i>

319
00:17:29,629 --> 00:17:31,629
Let's see
if they can impress me.

320
00:17:38,767 --> 00:17:40,146
Hey, boys and girls...

321
00:17:41,146 --> 00:17:42,422
let the fun begin.

322
00:17:43,870 --> 00:17:46,249
We just got to put
it all right [bleep]
right now.

323
00:17:46,249 --> 00:17:47,560
I'm bringing them
to the spot,

324
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,732
where I already found gold.

325
00:17:48,732 --> 00:17:50,801
So there's no excuse
if they strike out.

326
00:17:50,801 --> 00:17:52,111
<i>Daniel's up first.</i>

327
00:17:52,111 --> 00:17:55,180

[Daniel speaking]

332
00:18:17,594 --> 00:18:19,939
[Andy] Okay. Watch out.

333
00:18:19,939 --> 00:18:21,939
[Andy speaking]

334
00:18:24,008 --> 00:18:26,939
And of course,
it's a dumpster fire
right off the bat.

335
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:28,456
Par for the course
this season.

336
00:18:28,456 --> 00:18:30,111
[Daniel speaking]

337
00:18:34,836 --> 00:18:36,594
Tough case
we're having right now.

338
00:18:36,594 --> 00:18:39,215
He has a fat face
and an extra-large helmet.

339
00:18:39,215 --> 00:18:40,732
Hood's not working for him.

340
00:18:40,732 --> 00:18:42,387
[Andy speaking].

341
00:18:44,732 --> 00:18:46,732
This isn't a big deal,
I wear 2X.

342
00:18:47,732 --> 00:18:49,284
Daniel's got a huge
head like me.

343
00:18:49,284 --> 00:18:51,008
All the best people do.

344
00:18:51,008 --> 00:18:52,146
<i>So I'm going to give him
my mask</i>

345
00:18:52,146 --> 00:18:53,870
and we'll see
if he can get it together.

346
00:18:55,180 --> 00:18:56,801
[Andy speaking]

347
00:19:13,215 --> 00:19:14,767
How's it going?

348
00:19:15,698 --> 00:19:17,318
[Daniel speaking]

349
00:19:25,111 --> 00:19:26,801
[Andy] Yeah, because
you're at the end of the hose.

350
00:19:26,801 --> 00:19:28,698
Come closer in.

351
00:19:33,456 --> 00:19:35,215
[Daniel speaking]

352
00:19:35,215 --> 00:19:36,284
Keep going.

353
00:19:36,284 --> 00:19:38,491
I'm basically putting you
in front of the boat.

354
00:19:38,491 --> 00:19:40,353
That way you can
check over there for me.

355
00:19:40,353 --> 00:19:41,698
[Daniel] <i>Yes.</i>

356
00:19:43,594 --> 00:19:45,318

[Daniel speaking]

359
00:19:53,732 --> 00:19:55,801
[Andy] All right,
big rocks are always good.

360
00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:58,560
[Daniel speaking]

361
00:20:08,215 --> 00:20:09,836
[Daniel speaking]

362

[Andy speaking]

363
00:20:14,318 --> 00:20:15,732
[Andy] Good job, bro.

364
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,146
[Daniel speaking]

365
00:20:22,732 --> 00:20:24,249
[Andy speaking]

366
00:20:24,249 --> 00:20:27,111
Anchor's been down
25 minutes now.

367
00:20:27,111 --> 00:20:28,318
Doing really good.

368
00:20:28,318 --> 00:20:30,629
Found gold, I'm happy.

369
00:20:30,629 --> 00:20:33,629
Now we're just going
to dig down for another
two and a half hours,

370
00:20:33,629 --> 00:20:35,939
three hours,
and we're great.

371
00:20:35,939 --> 00:20:37,560
[Andy speaking]

372
00:20:41,008 --> 00:20:43,318
[narrator] <i>While Andy
gets gold for Reaper Nation.</i>

373

<i>Nine miles west...</i>

374
00:20:48,870 --> 00:20:50,629
[Kris] Well, we're not
technically dead,

375
00:20:50,629 --> 00:20:54,387
just the computers
don't want to [bleep]
make it work.

376
00:20:54,387 --> 00:20:56,111
I don't know, it's beyond me.

377
00:20:56,111 --> 00:20:58,077
[Kris speaking]

378

[narrator]
<i>Their fearless leader

379
00:21:03,353 --> 00:21:06,180
<i>from his latest
equipment trouble.</i>

380
00:21:06,180 --> 00:21:08,698
The thing is,
there's nothing
mechanically wrong

381
00:21:08,698 --> 00:21:10,525
with that excavator at all.

382
00:21:10,525 --> 00:21:12,111
It should work.

383
00:21:12,111 --> 00:21:16,594
At least we're on the water
and we're working it out
rather than at the dock.

384
00:21:16,594 --> 00:21:20,008
We do have gold in the box,
but we just need a lot more.

385
00:21:20,008 --> 00:21:22,043
A lot more.

386
00:21:22,043 --> 00:21:24,456
Again, again,
with this damn excavator,

387
00:21:24,456 --> 00:21:25,732
<i>this thing breaks down again.</i>

388
00:21:25,732 --> 00:21:27,560
<i>I spend big money
on equipment,</i>

389
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,491
<i>and we have bigger problems
and we're in the last days
of this season.</i>

390
00:21:31,491 --> 00:21:34,594
This is like a slow,
agonizing death.

391
00:21:34,594 --> 00:21:36,111
[man speaking]

392
00:21:36,663 --> 00:21:38,111
[man speaking]

393
00:21:40,974 --> 00:21:42,594
[man speaking]

394
00:21:42,594 --> 00:21:45,353
Yeah, be like hey,
put a bow on it.

395
00:21:46,698 --> 00:21:48,111
[Kris] Nothing's better.

396
00:21:48,663 --> 00:21:50,111
[Kris speaking]

397
00:21:59,215 --> 00:22:00,870
- Okay.
- [Kris speaking]

398
00:22:01,732 --> 00:22:03,077
Yeah, let's do that.

399
00:22:04,043 --> 00:22:06,353
So this is the deal.

400
00:22:06,353 --> 00:22:09,836
<i>We got to keep running
this piece of crap
excavator in limp mode.</i>

401
00:22:09,836 --> 00:22:11,180
What is limp mode?

402
00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:14,422
Limp mode means
it's working,
but just not at full power.

403
00:22:14,422 --> 00:22:16,870
<i>So everything will be
super slow,</i>

404
00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:19,629
<i>which honestly will be
pretty depressing to watch.</i>

405
00:22:19,629 --> 00:22:24,663
But this will be digging
and still getting gold
at a snail's pace.

406
00:22:24,663 --> 00:22:27,594
Make a little bit of gold,
but this is going to be
[bleep] slow.

407
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,939
So late in the season.

408
00:22:30,939 --> 00:22:33,456
I just have to run
with what we got.

409
00:22:33,456 --> 00:22:36,353
So our machine right now
is in limp mode,

410
00:22:36,353 --> 00:22:40,698
which means that
it's not operating
at 100% speed one.

411
00:22:40,698 --> 00:22:44,249
Even though
the excavator should be
running faster,

412
00:22:44,249 --> 00:22:46,905
I'll take any gold
I can get right now.

413
00:22:47,836 --> 00:22:49,663
First bucket in a while.

414
00:22:49,663 --> 00:22:51,456
That's as fast as it'll move.

415
00:22:54,836 --> 00:22:58,249
So, we're getting gold,
it's just we're not
getting fast buckets.

416
00:23:00,284 --> 00:23:02,974
But thank God,
we're at least getting gold.

417
00:23:05,077 --> 00:23:09,215
Pretty pathetic,
but some money
is better than none.

418
00:23:11,353 --> 00:23:14,491
[Kris] Taking us twice
as long to do a scoop.

419
00:23:14,491 --> 00:23:17,767
So usually our cycle
time is 40 seconds.

420
00:23:17,767 --> 00:23:20,422
Right now,
it's a minute
and thirty seconds.

421
00:23:21,939 --> 00:23:24,318
Which is [bleep].

422
00:23:24,318 --> 00:23:28,249
I'm happy to see it
but I'm pissed
we're not running at 100%.

423
00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:33,284
That excavator's
pissing me off.

424
00:23:33,284 --> 00:23:35,318
Limp mode, how embarrassing.

425
00:23:35,318 --> 00:23:37,249
<i>Who wants to be in limp mode?</i>

426
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:38,456
<i>It's pathetic.</i>

427
00:23:41,353 --> 00:23:44,387
Come on.
Andy moves faster than this.

428
00:23:44,387 --> 00:23:46,284
It's a piece of machinery.

429
00:23:46,284 --> 00:23:50,249
You know, it should fix,
and then it [bleep] works,

430
00:23:50,249 --> 00:23:53,732
and it's not [bleep]
working after you fix it.

431
00:23:53,732 --> 00:23:57,905
I poured money,
fixed so many damn things,

432
00:23:57,905 --> 00:24:01,387
I'm not a whining [bleep],
but this [bleep] not fair.

433
00:24:01,387 --> 00:24:04,043
I'm not going to call Kevin
and let him know the news.

434
00:24:04,043 --> 00:24:06,732
I'm just going to tell Kevin,
"Oh, things are going good"

435
00:24:06,732 --> 00:24:09,594
and then hopefully,
we can Band-Aid
everything up

436
00:24:09,594 --> 00:24:12,801
and still get 200
or 300 ounces this season,
that's what I'm hoping.

437
00:24:14,146 --> 00:24:15,456
[man speaking]

438
00:24:17,284 --> 00:24:19,180
Looks like we're just
going to stay on the boat

439
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:21,801
and run it as long
as we possibly can.

440
00:24:21,801 --> 00:24:24,732
Like midnight
or two o'clock
in the morning.

441
00:24:24,732 --> 00:24:27,525
No point in telling anybody
the bad news until

442
00:24:27,525 --> 00:24:30,146
it's time to go home
and then I'll spring
it on them that,

443
00:24:30,146 --> 00:24:33,043
"Hey, we're staying around
another four or five hours."

444
00:24:33,043 --> 00:24:38,663
So, you know, like,
no point in taking away
people's momentum right now.

445
00:24:40,836 --> 00:24:42,456
At least, we're getting gold.

446
00:24:49,698 --> 00:24:52,008
[narrator] <i>As fierce
winds creep closer...</i>

447
00:24:55,594 --> 00:24:57,974
[man] <i>I test fired the pump
this morning,
it fired right up.</i>

448
00:24:57,974 --> 00:24:59,456
Sweet.
This is awesome.

449
00:24:59,456 --> 00:25:01,801
Dude, I'm stoked.
Let me go grab Shannon.

450
00:25:01,801 --> 00:25:04,111
[narrator] <i>Hopes
in the Tenhoff camp
are still high</i>

451
00:25:04,111 --> 00:25:08,077
<i>and the time has finally
come to launch
the mighty</i> Havilah.

452
00:25:11,180 --> 00:25:12,870
Yeah, buddy.

453
00:25:12,870 --> 00:25:15,801
[Zeke] <i>After weeks
and weeks of searching
around on Tomcod</i>

454
00:25:15,801 --> 00:25:19,111
for hotspots,
I'm really ready
to unleash the <i>Havilah</i> on it

455
00:25:19,111 --> 00:25:21,801
and see what kind of damage
we can do
with a 10-inch dredge.

456
00:25:21,801 --> 00:25:23,594
Off we go.

457
00:25:23,594 --> 00:25:26,146
<i>It'll be super sweet
to step up our game
this summer</i>

458
00:25:26,146 --> 00:25:28,836
<i>on a great dredge
and on a great claim.</i>

459
00:25:28,836 --> 00:25:31,456
Honestly, the only thing
that would make it better
this season

460
00:25:31,456 --> 00:25:32,767
is if we have more time.

461
00:25:32,767 --> 00:25:36,215
But we'll crush it
with the amount of time
we have left.

462
00:25:36,215 --> 00:25:40,008
<i>They've like really gotten
a good handle on running
all the systems</i>

463
00:25:40,008 --> 00:25:44,008
<i>on this big boat
and figuring it out
and making it work well.</i>

464
00:25:44,008 --> 00:25:46,525
Big, powerful diesel pump.

465
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,111
Big, a 10-inch hose,
four dudes,

466
00:25:51,111 --> 00:25:52,836
I want to see
what that can do.

467
00:26:13,180 --> 00:26:16,111
[Gabe] So looks like
we're sending Zeke down first.

468
00:26:16,111 --> 00:26:17,318
He's got the spot.

469
00:26:17,318 --> 00:26:19,939
He's going to make sure
we get right on it.

470
00:26:19,939 --> 00:26:22,801
[Zeke] <i>We're going
to start off with a little
patch that I found</i>

471
00:26:22,801 --> 00:26:24,939
is difficult
to get through with
the 6-inch dredge.

472
00:26:24,939 --> 00:26:26,732
But I think
with a 10-inch dredge,

473
00:26:26,732 --> 00:26:29,456
there's just more volume,
and we'll be able to move
through it real easily.

474
00:26:29,456 --> 00:26:30,870
[Zeke speaking]

475
00:26:37,629 --> 00:26:41,491
[Zeke] <i>We'll need to anchor
the</i> Havilah <i>exactly over
the spot that I found.</i>

476
00:26:41,491 --> 00:26:44,146
It was a little bit easier
with the six-inch dredge

477
00:26:44,146 --> 00:26:45,974
because you could be
off a little bit

478
00:26:45,974 --> 00:26:49,663
and that you could more
easily move it around
from the bottom.

479
00:26:49,663 --> 00:26:53,387
<i>The</i> Havilah <i>is a massive boat
and we have to be
a lot more accurate.</i>

480
00:26:53,387 --> 00:26:56,422
I'm pulling us over that way.

481
00:26:56,422 --> 00:26:59,111
If you don't get it right,
then you're not going
to get gold

482
00:26:59,111 --> 00:27:01,491
because you need to have
it in the exact right spot

483
00:27:01,491 --> 00:27:03,318
and it looks like it takes
a lot of...

484
00:27:03,318 --> 00:27:06,456
it's like difficult and takes
a lot of finesse to do.

485
00:27:07,663 --> 00:27:10,284
Pull over
a little bit towards the port.

486
00:27:13,525 --> 00:27:16,836
Okay, so the thing's line

487
00:27:16,836 --> 00:27:20,180
should be between 25-30 feet
right off the [bleep] bow.

that's really good.</i>

494
00:28:06,767 --> 00:28:08,491
Yeah.
You seeing well?

495
00:28:08,491 --> 00:28:10,043
[Zeke speaking]

496
00:28:16,905 --> 00:28:18,318
All right.

497
00:28:19,491 --> 00:28:20,974
[Zeke] <i>Where,
where am I right now?</i>

498
00:28:20,974 --> 00:28:23,560
<i>Am I on the starboard
side of the boat?</i>

499
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,353
Yeah. You're like,
10 feet off the dive ladder.

500
00:28:36,422 --> 00:28:38,836
Hey, man, how's that
10-inch compared to the six?

501
00:28:38,836 --> 00:28:40,870
I know you've been
working that 6 all season.

502
00:28:40,870 --> 00:28:42,249
How is it?
How does it feel?

503
00:28:42,249 --> 00:28:43,525
Are you comfortable?

504
00:28:44,146 --> 00:28:45,732

[Gabe] Are you getting
on any hard pan
or is it all pea gravel?

508

[Zeke speaking]

509
00:29:10,249 --> 00:29:13,422
How... I mean,
if you're in it right now,
open that thing up.

510
00:29:13,422 --> 00:29:15,180
Start, start that
big old cut.

511
00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:17,974
Just work it back and forth
as wide as you can.

512
00:29:21,905 --> 00:29:23,249
[Zeke speaking]

513
00:29:31,077 --> 00:29:34,801
Well, we're going to hog
all the material,
the cobble and the sand,

514
00:29:34,801 --> 00:29:37,353
everything. It's going to be
a barren [bleep] wasteland,

515
00:29:37,353 --> 00:29:39,077
FernGully [bleep]
down there.

516
00:29:39,077 --> 00:29:40,180
Okay?

517
00:29:41,008 --> 00:29:42,318
We're on the money now!

You went right for it.

530
00:30:20,663 --> 00:30:21,870
Daniel surprised me.

531
00:30:21,870 --> 00:30:25,215
He got down there,
got the gold,
and didn't complain.

[Anthony speaking]

547
00:31:13,077 --> 00:31:15,629
Looks like
he's sucking material

548
00:31:15,629 --> 00:31:18,077
and I'm looking at rocks
going through the box.

552
00:31:29,422 --> 00:31:31,698
Did he just say
he can't hear anything?

553
00:31:35,905 --> 00:31:37,284
Anthony?

554
00:31:40,077 --> 00:31:41,525
Hey, [bleep].

555
00:31:46,629 --> 00:31:48,629
So far, I'm not optimistic.

[Daniel speaking]

557
00:31:51,525 --> 00:31:52,836

[Anthony speaking]

569
00:32:37,387 --> 00:32:39,008
This guy's been down
10 minutes,

570
00:32:39,008 --> 00:32:40,560
he already wants a break.

571
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,284
<i>Hell, I've been down
for three hours at a time
before I need a break.</i>

572
00:32:43,284 --> 00:32:45,663
I can already smell
how this one's going.

573
00:32:45,663 --> 00:32:46,905
He's coming up for a break.

574
00:32:46,905 --> 00:32:48,491
I had to pull him
for the break.

575
00:32:48,491 --> 00:32:50,525
What the [bleep], dude!

576
00:32:51,456 --> 00:32:53,215
I've seen some [bleep]
in my life, dude,

577
00:32:53,215 --> 00:32:57,043
but I've never had to drag
somebody in the boat
for a cigarette.

578
00:32:57,043 --> 00:32:59,043
I don't know
where my brother found
this dude at, man.

579
00:32:59,043 --> 00:33:00,525
This dude's from Alabama.

580
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,870
He should have
stayed in Alabama.

581
00:33:03,870 --> 00:33:06,801

this is it right here.

582

583
00:33:09,422 --> 00:33:10,456

584
00:33:10,456 --> 00:33:11,663
[Anthony] Yeah.

586
00:33:16,525 --> 00:33:17,836

[Andy speaking]

588
00:33:21,801 --> 00:33:23,318
I thought
this was amateur hour,

589
00:33:23,318 --> 00:33:25,870
but no,
it's amateur 10 minutes.

590
00:33:25,870 --> 00:33:28,387
<i>I think I've seen
all I need to see
from Anthony,</i>

591
00:33:28,387 --> 00:33:30,663
not that he has anything
else to show.

592
00:33:31,077 --> 00:33:32,387
No gold.

593
00:33:32,387 --> 00:33:34,249
Waste of gas.

594
00:33:34,249 --> 00:33:35,801
Waste of my time.

595
00:33:35,801 --> 00:33:37,629
This guy is my night crew.

596
00:33:37,629 --> 00:33:40,215
So why would
I want somebody like
that on my night crew?

597
00:33:40,215 --> 00:33:42,974
I dive and get gold
and he takes a percentage?

598
00:33:42,974 --> 00:33:44,698
I already got one
[bleep] like that.

599
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:46,353
I got my dad.

600
00:33:46,353 --> 00:33:47,836
I don't need another one.

601
00:33:51,008 --> 00:33:53,180
All right,
today was a decent day.

602
00:33:53,180 --> 00:33:55,043
I got to see
what everybody can do,

603
00:33:55,043 --> 00:33:57,801
and I figured out
what I needed to know.

604
00:33:59,111 --> 00:34:00,836
Now it's time to
eliminate people.

605
00:34:03,146 --> 00:34:04,698
[Andy] It's hard
to find good help.

Um, it's been

651

at the horizon

652

come in, like,
we've got to get out of here.

<i>But we know
where the great gold
is once the storm is over,</i>

654
00:36:35,353 --> 00:36:37,043
so we're not doing too bad.

655
00:36:38,318 --> 00:36:40,180
Yeah, we should be
there in just a few hours.

656
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,870
[Emily] Slow ride in.

657
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:44,698
[Jane] Driving a boat
at four knots is never
that enjoyable.

658

It's like, yawn.

659
00:36:47,180 --> 00:36:50,594
Yeah, so, maybe
we will get some
decent days out, you know,

660
00:36:50,594 --> 00:36:53,180
it's not freezing,
it's October ninth,
but it's not...

661
00:36:53,180 --> 00:36:54,870
[Jane] It's like Rocktober.

662
00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:57,043
- Rocktober?
- Yeah.

663
00:36:57,043 --> 00:36:58,111
Let's Rocktober.

664
00:36:58,111 --> 00:36:59,905
- Just don't hit the rocks.
- What?

665
00:36:59,905 --> 00:37:01,974
What rocks?

666
00:37:01,974 --> 00:37:05,974
[Emily] <i>Kind of called
it for the day,
got knocked off by weather.</i>

667
00:37:05,974 --> 00:37:08,353
<i>We were making money
and we just got
to get out there.</i>

668
00:37:09,491 --> 00:37:11,043
Damn, it's cold.

669
00:37:11,043 --> 00:37:12,663
[Jane] We can't complain.
It's October.

670
00:37:23,353 --> 00:37:25,870
[Shawn]
This stuff looks really good.

671
00:37:27,111 --> 00:37:28,560

677
00:37:45,456 --> 00:37:49,422
[Shawn] I have to admit,
I had a point with all
the breakdowns and everything.

678
00:37:49,422 --> 00:37:52,008
I was getting
a little frustrated.

679
00:37:52,008 --> 00:37:54,456
I've been working, working,
working on the <i>Myrtle.</i>

680
00:37:54,456 --> 00:37:57,180
James, you know,
handles things,
trying different things

681
00:37:57,180 --> 00:38:01,939
and everything seems to be
kind of coming together
right now.

682
00:38:04,836 --> 00:38:06,249
And it's working.

683
00:38:07,318 --> 00:38:09,905
Man, I love it
when a plan comes together.

684
00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:13,318
[chuckles] Yeah.

685
00:38:16,008 --> 00:38:19,008
I don't know
how much more time we got.

686
00:38:19,008 --> 00:38:21,560
We're going to check the box,
see how we're doing.

687
00:38:24,284 --> 00:38:28,836
Real hard to say,
but I mean,

688
00:38:28,836 --> 00:38:33,318
there's definitely some
fresh gold in that
open top there.

689
00:38:35,249 --> 00:38:36,663
Nice and soft.

690
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,905
- Beautiful.
- [man] Good?

691
00:38:39,905 --> 00:38:42,077
Beautiful.

692

Box is looking good.

693

Everything's working wonderful.

694
00:38:47,663 --> 00:38:49,560
We got a bunch
of gold in the box.

695
00:38:50,698 --> 00:38:54,043
Weather's changing right now.

696
00:38:56,456 --> 00:38:59,387
<i>I'm pumped.
I followed my gut
and it paid off.</i>

697
00:38:59,387 --> 00:39:01,456
We've done all
we can do out here today.

698
00:39:01,456 --> 00:39:04,215
The weather's turning
and on the Bering Sea,

699
00:39:04,215 --> 00:39:06,422
<i>the weather turns
fast and nasty.</i>

700
00:39:06,422 --> 00:39:09,284
You'd never want to be
caught out here
when that happens.

701
00:39:09,284 --> 00:39:11,974
Let's boogie before
we break something.

702
00:39:11,974 --> 00:39:14,801
Hey, you all,
let's get the spuds jacked up.

703
00:39:20,077 --> 00:39:25,111
We got another day,
day in longer than
what I thought we'd get.

704
00:39:26,629 --> 00:39:27,767
<i>Wait for good weather.</i>

705
00:39:27,767 --> 00:39:29,629

[Zeke speaking]

713
00:40:02,767 --> 00:40:04,870
Okay, well, let's rock
with it for a little bit.

[Zeke speaking]

715
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:25,974
Your compressor
is still running.

716
00:40:25,974 --> 00:40:28,525
Maybe the hose
is pinched on your shoulder.

720

Nate,
he just got it right now.

721
00:40:39,594 --> 00:40:41,284
[Zeke speaking]

722
00:40:41,284 --> 00:40:42,939
[Gabe] <i>No, you don't.
You're good.</i>

[Zeke speaking]

724
00:40:47,249 --> 00:40:50,077
Yeah, he was pulling
the kink over to the side
of the boat

725
00:40:50,077 --> 00:40:51,387
so he could get it out.

726
00:40:52,939 --> 00:40:54,249
[Zeke speaking]

727
00:40:56,732 --> 00:40:58,043
Yeah.

728
00:41:02,284 --> 00:41:03,629
[Zeke grunting]

729
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:05,939
[Zeke speaking]

730
00:41:15,422 --> 00:41:18,318
Yeah, we must have
drug on the stern [bleep].

731
00:41:18,318 --> 00:41:19,629
[Zeke speaking]

732
00:41:24,905 --> 00:41:27,456
[Gabe] It's [bleep] weird
that we moved that much.

733
00:41:29,491 --> 00:41:33,732
Yeah. We must have,
<i>we got this breeze coming in</i>
from the [bleep] <i>south.</i>

734
00:41:33,732 --> 00:41:35,836
And I guess
it just maybe that,

735
00:41:35,836 --> 00:41:39,456
that anchor wasn't sitting
on something that
it wanted to be on.

736
00:41:39,456 --> 00:41:42,318
And yeah, I guess
we drug forward.

737
00:41:43,318 --> 00:41:45,008
[Zeke speaking]

738
00:41:46,974 --> 00:41:48,180
You're about maxed out.

[Zeke speaking]

740
00:41:50,077 --> 00:41:51,974
- Yeah.
- [Zeke] Ah!

741
00:41:53,318 --> 00:41:55,422
That's how it worked out,
it [bleep] sucks.

742
00:41:55,422 --> 00:41:56,801
I'm sorry.

743
00:41:58,111 --> 00:41:59,215

[man speaking]

745
00:42:21,698 --> 00:42:24,387

hook the nozzle up
and come up.

[Zeke] <i>The winds are starting

748

The only things
we've been hearing is that

749
00:42:38,215 --> 00:42:40,043
the weather is supposed
to get really bad.

750
00:42:41,870 --> 00:42:44,249
We're going to have
to bail pronto.

751
00:42:44,249 --> 00:42:46,318
Got to get this blue one
over here.

752
00:42:46,318 --> 00:42:48,180
Yeah, I get that.
Yeah, yeah, I'll get it.

753
00:43:07,974 --> 00:43:11,491
We may be getting
kicked off the water
a little early,

754
00:43:11,491 --> 00:43:15,525
<i>but the bottom line is that
we got gold on our first time
out with the</i> Havilah.

756
00:43:18,698 --> 00:43:20,905
I'm just really stoked about
how it went today.

757
00:43:20,905 --> 00:43:23,146
It's not supposed to be
[bleep] for that long,
though, right?

758
00:43:23,146 --> 00:43:25,836
- It was supposed
to be like a day...
- A day or two.

759
00:43:25,836 --> 00:43:27,422
A day or two?

760
00:43:27,422 --> 00:43:28,525
Well, [bleep].

761
00:43:28,525 --> 00:43:30,353

you got to dive in tonight.

We're just finishing up
our 12-hour shift.

765
00:43:52,870 --> 00:43:55,491
Everything went pretty good.

766
00:43:55,491 --> 00:43:58,974
If the excavator
were to work better,
we would've gotten more gold.

[narrator] <i>...Kris Kelly

through the weather.

going to have a decent haul.

776

See what we got
in the box for gold,

777
00:44:26,146 --> 00:44:28,560

halfway decent.

Good job. Is that gold?

- Yeah.
- Ah.

784
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,284
That's actually
a decent nugget.

Good job, Dave.

00:47:04,215 --> 00:47:07,180
but for the hours
that we got,
it's pretty [bleep] amazing.

831
00:47:07,180 --> 00:47:09,456
[narrator] <i>For Kris Kelly,
it's time to find out</i>

832
00:47:09,456 --> 00:47:12,180
<i>if limp mode is the pimp mode.</i>

833
00:47:12,180 --> 00:47:14,215
[Kris] We're finally starting
to make money.

834
00:47:15,594 --> 00:47:17,215
It wasn't fast and furious.

835
00:47:17,215 --> 00:47:18,767
More like slow and mild.

836
00:47:18,767 --> 00:47:22,318
<i>But hopefully all those hours
are going to equal up
to a good day.</i>

837
00:47:22,318 --> 00:47:23,905
I really need it.

838
00:47:23,905 --> 00:47:25,215
[Kris] Here we go.

839
00:47:26,422 --> 00:47:32,180
There's one,
that's two, three, four.

840
00:47:32,180 --> 00:47:33,594
I'm hoping for ten.

841
00:47:33,594 --> 00:47:35,284
Five, six...

842
00:47:36,767 --> 00:47:41,318
Grand total of 7.71 ounces.

843
00:47:41,318 --> 00:47:44,801
[narrator] <i>7.7 ounces
is worth over 13 grand.</i>

844
00:47:44,801 --> 00:47:48,422
<i>Not everything
they need in the final days
to make their payment,</i>

845
00:47:48,422 --> 00:47:51,111
<i>but a decent step forward.</i>

846
00:47:51,111 --> 00:47:53,594
[Kris] For nine
or ten hours of mining,

847
00:47:53,594 --> 00:47:55,284
I think
that's pretty impressive.

848
00:47:55,284 --> 00:47:56,387
Oh, yeah.

849
00:47:56,387 --> 00:47:57,594
[man speaking]

850
00:47:59,284 --> 00:48:00,939
At this point, I'll take it.

851
00:48:00,939 --> 00:48:02,560
We just need to get out
of limp mode

852
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,767
<i>and go hard the rest
of the way.</i>

853
00:48:04,767 --> 00:48:08,318
Hopefully, we can get
what we need while
there's still time to mine.

854
00:48:08,318 --> 00:48:12,284
We're going to have to do
anything we can at this point
to make sure

855
00:48:12,284 --> 00:48:15,663
we can get out there
for every [bleep]
possible hour.

856
00:48:15,663 --> 00:48:17,525
Okay.
Good job, everybody.

857
00:48:17,525 --> 00:48:18,698
Give me some love.

858
00:48:18,698 --> 00:48:20,043
[man speaking]

859
00:48:20,043 --> 00:48:21,456
Yeah, I am.

860
00:48:21,456 --> 00:48:22,939
I'm real proud of everybody.

861
00:48:25,663 --> 00:48:27,043
[horn blowing]

862
00:48:27,043 --> 00:48:28,284
[narrator] <i>Across town...</i>

863
00:48:33,905 --> 00:48:38,422
[Shawn] Weather was crap
and it reflects on the,
on the gold we got.

864
00:48:39,146 --> 00:48:41,146
I'm ready for a break.

865
00:48:41,146 --> 00:48:45,560
[narrator] <i>Shawn Pomrenke
hopes to find a golden reward
from yesterday's haul.</i>

866
00:48:46,974 --> 00:48:49,249
[Shawn] <i>Weather
knocked us off early,</i>

867
00:48:49,249 --> 00:48:53,456
but, hopefully we did enough
damage to keep us
on our 3,000-ounce goal.

868
00:48:53,456 --> 00:48:55,422
All right, let's see
where we're at.

869
00:48:56,422 --> 00:49:01,801
20, 40... 80.

870
00:49:03,043 --> 00:49:04,836
- Triple digits.
- [man] Not too bad.

871
00:49:10,284 --> 00:49:11,939
167.

872
00:49:15,077 --> 00:49:16,698
Nice job, bro.

873
00:49:16,698 --> 00:49:21,422
[narrator] <i>One hundred
and sixty seven ounces

874
00:49:21,422 --> 00:49:25,836
<i>And with the big tally,
Shawn may have just
rescued his season.</i>

875
00:49:26,870 --> 00:49:28,353
Hot damn!

876
00:49:28,353 --> 00:49:31,663
We made over a quarter
million dollars before
that storm chased us off.

877
00:49:31,663 --> 00:49:33,525
Now, that's what
I call a good day.

878
00:49:33,525 --> 00:49:34,698
All right.

879
00:49:34,698 --> 00:49:36,939
Get this jarred up
and get the hell out of here.

880
00:49:37,732 --> 00:49:39,146
That's a wrap.

881
00:49:58,180 --> 00:50:00,146
[narrator] <i>As the storm
begins to land,</i>

882
00:50:00,146 --> 00:50:03,422

883
00:50:04,215 --> 00:50:05,663
<i>All except for one.</i>

884
00:50:06,698 --> 00:50:10,560
I got a call bright
and early this morning.

885
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,974
There's a dredge
in distress about 17 miles
to the east of town

886
00:50:14,974 --> 00:50:17,456
and three miles to the south.

887
00:50:17,456 --> 00:50:18,801
They're dead in the water.

888
00:50:18,801 --> 00:50:20,215
No power.

889
00:50:20,215 --> 00:50:21,801
Wind's picking up.

890
00:50:21,801 --> 00:50:24,318
They're calling
for 28-knot winds.

891
00:50:24,318 --> 00:50:26,629
I'm seeing the waves
starting to pick up already.

892
00:50:26,629 --> 00:50:28,249
That's a lot for this boat.

893
00:50:28,249 --> 00:50:32,767
But there's nobody else
jumping up
and getting underway,

894
00:50:32,767 --> 00:50:34,491
so we'll go out
and give them a hand.

895
00:50:34,491 --> 00:50:36,491
This is a friend of mine,
Yukon John.

896
00:50:36,491 --> 00:50:37,939
That's what we do
around here.

897
00:50:37,939 --> 00:50:39,043
We help each other out.

898
00:50:39,043 --> 00:50:40,905
The Coast Guard
is nowhere around.

899
00:50:40,905 --> 00:50:44,939
It would take them
a long time to get
any type of equipment

900
00:50:44,939 --> 00:50:46,422
up here to do a rescue.

901
00:50:46,422 --> 00:50:50,318
He's fortunate that
he was able to relay
his position

902
00:50:50,318 --> 00:50:51,560
so we can go get him.

903
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,698
Otherwise,
he would end up
over in Siberia here

904
00:50:53,698 --> 00:50:55,387
in about two weeks.

905
00:50:55,387 --> 00:50:56,767
The weather's getting
much worse

906
00:50:56,767 --> 00:50:59,422
and now I'm heading out
into the thick of it

907
00:50:59,422 --> 00:51:01,318
and that's because
I got a call.

908
00:51:01,318 --> 00:51:04,629
<i>My man, Yukon John
got his engine swamped,</i>

909
00:51:04,629 --> 00:51:08,146
<i>and now he's stuck
and it looks like
his boat is going down.</i>

910
00:51:08,146 --> 00:51:09,870
<i>Not going to lie.</i>

911
00:51:09,870 --> 00:51:14,318
<i>It's a big risk going out
in these conditions,
especially for the gold ship.</i>

912
00:51:14,318 --> 00:51:17,836
She ain't no rescue vessel,
but if there's a miner
in need,

913
00:51:17,836 --> 00:51:19,215
you got to help.

914
00:51:20,043 --> 00:51:21,180
Well, we got a call.

915
00:51:21,180 --> 00:51:23,732
Yukon John's out there
dead in the water,

916
00:51:23,732 --> 00:51:26,284
17 miles
out of town to the east,

917
00:51:26,284 --> 00:51:29,215
straight up from Cape Nome,
about three miles out
from the beach.

918
00:51:29,215 --> 00:51:30,560
We'll go down to the Cape.

919
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,318
We'll take a real good
look at it.

920
00:51:32,318 --> 00:51:34,698
If it looks like
it ain't gonna sink us,

921
00:51:34,698 --> 00:51:38,387
we'll go on out,
pass him a line,
get him back in close to shore

922
00:51:38,387 --> 00:51:39,836
and bring him to town.

923
00:51:48,387 --> 00:51:50,043
[man speaking]

924
00:51:55,043 --> 00:51:56,146
[Vernon] Oh, okay.

[man speaking]

926
00:52:02,249 --> 00:52:05,456
I'm pretty sure
we'll be able to spot him
when we get down there.

927
00:52:05,456 --> 00:52:08,353
As long as he's still above
the waves, we'll spot him.

928
00:52:08,353 --> 00:52:12,353
We still got to lasso
his ass and then
tow him back to town.

929
00:52:12,353 --> 00:52:17,215
Hopefully, everything
will go smoothly,
but most likely it won't.

930
00:52:25,077 --> 00:52:26,422
Hold on.

931
00:52:28,422 --> 00:52:29,629
Check the box.

939
00:53:25,767 --> 00:53:28,836
Flares burn bright,
but we're not seeing
any sign of him.

940
00:53:31,732 --> 00:53:33,215
It's time to go to plan B.

[Vernon] <i>Things
are not looking good.</i>

959
00:54:47,939 --> 00:54:50,249
<i>The sluice box
wasn't tied down.</i>

960
00:54:50,249 --> 00:54:53,353
<i>It could come off
and smash the side
of the boat.</i>

961
00:54:53,353 --> 00:54:57,180
More importantly,
we're nowhere near Yukon John.

962
00:54:57,180 --> 00:54:58,525
<i>He's seven miles away.</i>

963
00:54:58,525 --> 00:55:01,043
<i>Almost 10 miles off shore.</i>

964
00:55:01,043 --> 00:55:03,284
<i>That far from land
in weather like this,</i>

965
00:55:03,284 --> 00:55:06,387
is about as precarious
as it gets for miners.

966
00:55:06,387 --> 00:55:09,422
So we've got to cut
south now and see

967
00:55:09,422 --> 00:55:12,215
if we can rendezvous
with them out there,

968
00:55:13,525 --> 00:55:16,146
which is not
where I want to go.

979

can come undone
will come undone.

[Thomas] Man, swells
are getting pretty big
out here.

I can only imagine
what's going through
their head

983
00:56:21,594 --> 00:56:23,836
at the moment having no...

984
00:56:23,836 --> 00:56:27,111
motor. This is pretty crazy
having motors.

985
00:56:28,284 --> 00:56:32,525
I'm surprised to still get
cell phone reception.

986
00:56:32,525 --> 00:56:35,732

don't ask me stupid [bleep]

999
00:57:14,801 --> 00:57:16,801
If the engines
get swamped,
you're [bleep].

1000
00:57:16,801 --> 00:57:18,146
That's what happens.

1001
00:57:20,732 --> 00:57:23,525
I'm thinking
we don't have the right coordinates.

1002
00:57:25,767 --> 00:57:28,111

He's right there.

1014
00:58:31,732 --> 00:58:32,974
I got him.

1015
00:58:35,801 --> 00:58:38,077
I see something.
There's definitely something.

1016
00:58:38,077 --> 00:58:39,491
[Vernon] Oh, yeah, yeah.

1017
00:58:40,629 --> 00:58:43,249

But we finally
tracked him down.

1020
00:58:49,422 --> 00:58:51,560
He's way to hell offshore.

1021
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:56,111

being pounded by these waves

[man speaking]

1031
00:59:23,491 --> 00:59:27,629
[Vernon] Okay. So the thing
that we gotta do is make sure

1032
00:59:27,629 --> 00:59:32,870
that we do not get that line
caught around our propeller.

1033
00:59:32,870 --> 00:59:35,180
Guys, if you do it,
you're going to...

1034
00:59:35,180 --> 00:59:39,249
It's got to be
a really [bleep] up situation.

01:08:58,663 --> 01:09:00,663
Just turn off the generator.
We don't need the generator.

1168
01:09:00,663 --> 01:09:02,180
- Turn it off.
- Yeah.

1169
01:09:04,215 --> 01:09:05,698
[Bryan speaking]

1170
01:09:14,698 --> 01:09:15,974
[bleep]

1171
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,767
[Bryan speaking]

1172
01:09:33,836 --> 01:09:35,387
[producer speaking]

1173
01:09:35,387 --> 01:09:39,525
Oh, there's a hole [bleep]
water on the floor
and it hit the power strip.

1174
01:09:39,525 --> 01:09:41,767
Well, it shorted out.

1175
01:09:43,043 --> 01:09:44,318
Ooh. Good save.

1176
01:09:46,249 --> 01:09:47,974
[chuckles] Think
you saved the boat.

1177
01:09:50,284 --> 01:09:51,629
[man] Whoa!

1178
01:09:52,491 --> 01:09:53,974
I tell you what?

1179
01:09:53,974 --> 01:09:59,939
Your worst nightmare
is to be in bad weather
in a ship that's on fire.

1180
01:10:00,732 --> 01:10:02,353
Doesn't get any worse
than that.

1181
01:10:04,663 --> 01:10:06,111
There's a hole.

1182
01:10:07,215 --> 01:10:09,422
There's a hole right here
going through the boat.

1183
01:10:09,422 --> 01:10:11,215
You see it?
The water coming in and out?

1184
01:10:11,836 --> 01:10:12,974
That's not good.

1185
01:10:12,974 --> 01:10:15,249
Look at the water just
flowing in there, man.

1186
01:10:17,008 --> 01:10:18,974
Man, it's a lot of water.

1187
01:10:19,870 --> 01:10:21,870
Two more holes
back here, damn it.

1188
01:10:24,525 --> 01:10:26,387
Look at those
two [bleep] holes.

1189
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,043
Damn.

1190
01:10:33,318 --> 01:10:34,698
We never go out
in bad weather,

1191
01:10:34,698 --> 01:10:37,560
I mean, when weather's
[bleep] bad,
we stay in the dock.

1192
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,077
I mean, we're just
a gold getting ship.

1193
01:10:40,077 --> 01:10:41,767
We're not really
a rescue ships.

1194
01:10:41,767 --> 01:10:43,836
So, first time
we went out on seas like this,

1195
01:10:43,836 --> 01:10:47,456
but obviously there's some,
as always,
there's some issues.

1196
01:10:47,456 --> 01:10:49,284
[Bryan speaking]

1197
01:10:53,629 --> 01:10:55,146
[man speaking]

1198
01:10:56,974 --> 01:10:59,698
[Vernon] I'm gonna boost
it up a little bit more.

1199
01:10:59,698 --> 01:11:01,698
I might give
it some more gas.

1200
01:11:02,215 --> 01:11:03,870
Hang on.

1201
01:11:03,870 --> 01:11:05,318
[man speaking]

1202
01:11:14,249 --> 01:11:15,767
[Vernon] Yeah,
it's getting closer.

1203
01:11:16,698 --> 01:11:18,456
[Bryan speaking]

1204
01:11:20,698 --> 01:11:22,491
[Thomas speaking]

1205
01:11:24,077 --> 01:11:25,801
[Bryan speaking]

1206
01:11:26,146 --> 01:11:27,353
[laughs]

1207
01:11:28,353 --> 01:11:30,111
[Vernon] Well,
we did our duty.

1208
01:11:30,111 --> 01:11:31,732
Little dicey there
for a while.

1209
01:11:31,732 --> 01:11:32,905
Yeah.

1210
01:11:32,905 --> 01:11:34,525
That's a big ass swell.

1211
01:11:35,629 --> 01:11:37,043
All right.

1212
01:11:38,008 --> 01:11:40,043
We're between the jetties.

1213
01:11:40,043 --> 01:11:42,525
We're within swimming distance.

1214
01:11:42,525 --> 01:11:45,215
I can swim to shore
within five minutes.

1215
01:11:46,284 --> 01:11:48,629
<i>The good news
is we made it back safely.</i>

1216
01:11:49,836 --> 01:11:53,939
The more concerning news
what's become of Yukon John?

1217
01:11:53,939 --> 01:11:57,732
<i>Anyone who thinks that
mining on the Bering Sea
isn't dangerous,</i>

1218
01:11:57,732 --> 01:11:59,663
<i>he doesn't know
what he's talking about.</i>

1219
01:12:00,698 --> 01:12:02,594
It can be life
or death out here.

1220
01:12:02,594 --> 01:12:04,249
Fingers crossed for them.

1221
01:12:08,284 --> 01:12:09,870
I mean, I like the guy.

1222
01:12:09,870 --> 01:12:12,111
I offered him to come
aboard with us.

1223
01:12:12,111 --> 01:12:14,594
He made the decision
not to do it.

1224
01:12:14,594 --> 01:12:17,594
I don't know who in the hell
he thinks is gonna go out
and rescue him.

1225
01:12:17,594 --> 01:12:20,284
We might have been
his last ticket home.

1226
01:12:22,594 --> 01:12:24,422
[narrator] <i>On the other side
of the harbor...</i>

1227
01:12:34,249 --> 01:12:37,732
It's not the ideal conditions
to be going out
on the Bering Sea,

1228
01:12:37,732 --> 01:12:39,939
but we got Yukon John
out there.

1229
01:12:39,939 --> 01:12:42,491
He's on his dredge drifting.

1230
01:12:45,008 --> 01:12:47,767
So we're gonna go
and rescue his ass.

1231
01:12:47,767 --> 01:12:49,698
Got a call about Yukon John.

1232
01:12:49,698 --> 01:12:51,870
He's stuck ten miles offshore.

1233
01:12:51,870 --> 01:12:57,008
Vern went out trying
to pick him up
and Yukon waved him off.

1234
01:12:57,008 --> 01:13:01,560
<i>Yukon John thought
another dredge was gonna come
rescue him and tow him in.</i>

1235
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,491
<i>But that's not gonna happen,
not on this weather.</i>

1236
01:13:04,491 --> 01:13:07,629
<i>I put a crew together,
Joe Fullwood, Chris McCully.</i>

1237
01:13:07,629 --> 01:13:08,939
<i>We're gonna try
to go get him.</i>

1238
01:13:08,939 --> 01:13:10,663
<i>Hopefully,
we're not too late.</i>

1239
01:13:10,663 --> 01:13:12,215
We're his last option.

1240
01:13:12,767 --> 01:13:14,077
Okay.

1241
01:13:14,077 --> 01:13:15,629
You're ready?

1242
01:13:15,629 --> 01:13:17,870
[Chris speaking]

1243
01:13:41,801 --> 01:13:45,111
[Shawn speaking]

1244
01:13:48,043 --> 01:13:49,732
[bleep]

1245
01:13:50,732 --> 01:13:52,284
[Shawn speaking]

1246
01:14:01,008 --> 01:14:04,629
[Chris speaking]

1247
01:14:12,422 --> 01:14:16,456
- [Joe speaking]
- [Chris speaking]

1248
01:14:16,456 --> 01:14:18,111
[Shawn speaking]

1249
01:14:25,146 --> 01:14:26,905
This boat, how they set up
the plumbing. When you
take a [bleep] in there

1250
01:14:26,905 --> 01:14:28,663
and then like people are
using it all the time,

1251
01:14:28,663 --> 01:14:30,629
then it just wafts out
from under the boat

1252
01:14:30,629 --> 01:14:32,870
and it makes the whole [bleep]
boat smell like [bleep].

1253
01:14:38,594 --> 01:14:40,974
One of my least
favorite experiences
gold mining is

1254
01:14:40,974 --> 01:14:44,629
having a lion's mane
jellyfish suck into
my hot water intake

1255
01:14:44,629 --> 01:14:46,284
and then into the suit.

1256
01:14:49,077 --> 01:14:50,180
Oh.

1257
01:14:50,180 --> 01:14:53,146
You can imagine
a filtered
lion's mane jellyfish

1258
01:14:53,146 --> 01:14:55,663
all the way through
my whole body in my suit.

1259
01:14:55,663 --> 01:14:58,180
[indistinct yelling]

1260
01:14:58,180 --> 01:14:59,491
[laughs]

1261
01:14:59,491 --> 01:15:02,836
Just every crevice, the end
of my [bleep]
was like burning,

1262
01:15:02,836 --> 01:15:04,905
my ass [bleep] every...

1263
01:15:04,905 --> 01:15:06,249
It was just... [screaming]

1264
01:15:07,284 --> 01:15:10,249
[screaming]

1265
01:15:10,249 --> 01:15:13,249
What you want to do is
just stay down there
and ride it out.

1266
01:15:13,249 --> 01:15:15,043
It might clear.
It might not.

1267
01:15:15,043 --> 01:15:18,732
I've seen people come out
and there's like
jellyfish tendrils

1268
01:15:18,732 --> 01:15:20,422
coming out
of the hot water line

1269
01:15:20,422 --> 01:15:24,146
and they pull their suit up
and they're just all over
their [bleep] body.

1270
01:15:24,146 --> 01:15:26,387
And it's just
all over you for months.

1271
01:15:38,008 --> 01:15:40,767
[Shawn speaking]

1272
01:15:45,387 --> 01:15:47,422
[narrator] <i>Nearly 12 miles
from shore,</i>

1273
01:15:47,422 --> 01:15:49,905
<i>Shawn Pomrenke,
and his rescue team</i>

1274
01:15:49,905 --> 01:15:53,249
<i>are in a desperate search
for a miner in danger.</i>

1275
01:15:54,629 --> 01:15:57,387
The last point was over
this way, just a little bit.

1276
01:15:58,180 --> 01:15:59,698
All right.

1277
01:16:01,387 --> 01:16:03,284
[producer speaking]

1278
01:16:04,146 --> 01:16:05,629
They're spotting.

1279
01:16:05,629 --> 01:16:06,767
They're looking.

1280
01:16:08,249 --> 01:16:12,284
They're looking, trying to
see if they can see John.

1281
01:16:22,905 --> 01:16:25,456
[Joe speaking]

1282
01:16:25,456 --> 01:16:27,456
Got him?

1283
01:16:27,456 --> 01:16:29,043
[Joe speaking]

1284
01:16:29,043 --> 01:16:30,387
[Shawn] Okay.

1285
01:16:31,663 --> 01:16:32,870
I see him.

1286
01:16:32,870 --> 01:16:34,249
I got him.

1287
01:16:35,387 --> 01:16:36,870
I got him, Joe.

1288
01:16:39,284 --> 01:16:42,698
He's almost right
where he gave you
that GPS point.

1289
01:16:47,146 --> 01:16:48,215
[Chris speaking]

1290
01:16:48,215 --> 01:16:49,318
[Shawn] All right.

I don't want to get
that close to them.

1304
01:18:05,870 --> 01:18:07,801
We'll end up
putting a hole in this.

1305
01:18:14,939 --> 01:18:17,077
All right, turning again, guys.

1306
01:18:17,077 --> 01:18:18,594
- [Joe] Okay.
- Okay.

1307
01:18:18,594 --> 01:18:20,422
[Shawn] After this...

1308
01:18:20,422 --> 01:18:23,525
Well, [bleep] no.
I'm going straight.

1309
01:18:23,525 --> 01:18:26,698
<i>A boat to boat rescue
like this in seas this big,</i>

1310
01:18:26,698 --> 01:18:29,215
it's not safe.
It's not good.

1311

<i>It's easy for boats
to slam into each other
and lines to get tangled.</i>

1312
01:18:33,387 --> 01:18:37,146
You don't want anything
to go wrong with these
kind of waves all around you.

1313
01:18:40,663 --> 01:18:43,111
[Chris] We're gonna throw
the dinghy in the water.

1314
01:18:43,111 --> 01:18:46,698
Can you jump on the dinghy?
And let it go fast.

1315

[Chris speaking]

1317

[Yukon speaking]

1318
01:18:55,491 --> 01:18:57,353
- [Joe] Okay.
- [Yukon speaking]

1319
01:18:57,353 --> 01:18:59,284
- [Chris speaking]
- [Shawn] All right.

1320
01:19:00,870 --> 01:19:03,353
[Joe speaking]

1321
01:19:05,732 --> 01:19:07,284
[Yukon speaking]

1322
01:19:07,284 --> 01:19:10,422

01:19:10,422 --> 01:19:12,974
[Yukon speaking]

1324
01:19:12,974 --> 01:19:14,732
[Chris] Let's wait till
they're ready, huh?

1325
01:19:14,732 --> 01:19:16,249
- [Shawn] Yeah.
- [Joe] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1326
01:19:16,249 --> 01:19:18,249
[waves splashing]

1327
01:19:18,249 --> 01:19:21,077
The plan is we're gonna
deploy this dinghy,

1328
01:19:21,077 --> 01:19:23,594
so that we don't have to
come close to their vessel

1329
01:19:23,594 --> 01:19:25,249
because that could get
really dangerous.

1330
01:19:25,249 --> 01:19:27,974
So the smartest way to do
is throw this out in the ocean

1331
01:19:27,974 --> 01:19:29,698
and hopefully
they can get on it

1332
01:19:29,698 --> 01:19:33,836
and we can really back reel,
reel them back into the boat.

1333
01:19:41,284 --> 01:19:43,698
[Chris] All right, guys...
We're gonna throw you this.

1334
01:19:44,249 --> 01:19:45,870
One, two.

1335
01:19:48,629 --> 01:19:50,111
[Chris] Okay.
Go grab it.

1336
01:19:51,284 --> 01:19:52,353
Just jump in it?

1337
01:19:52,353 --> 01:19:54,560
[Joe] Yeah, jump on it.
Hurry up.

1338
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:55,974
Hey.

1339
01:19:59,456 --> 01:20:00,698
We got 'em.
We got 'em.

1340
01:20:00,698 --> 01:20:02,043
[Shawn] Okay.

1341
01:20:11,663 --> 01:20:12,974
All right. Grab the dinghy.

1342
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:17,836
[Shawn] Nice job, boys.

1343
01:20:17,836 --> 01:20:19,043
- Good stuff.
- Yeah.

1344
01:20:19,043 --> 01:20:21,146
[Yukon] Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

1345
01:20:21,146 --> 01:20:23,284
- Mission complete.
- I owe you one.

1346
01:20:23,284 --> 01:20:24,629
I owe you one.

1347
01:20:24,629 --> 01:20:26,353
[bleep] got swamped.

<i>Miners are stubborn people.</i>

1349
01:20:28,043 --> 01:20:30,560
<i>We don't want to admit
when we pushed it too far,</i>

1350
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,525
and the last thing
we want to do is abandon
our dredge

1351
01:20:33,525 --> 01:20:34,939
ten miles offshore.

1352
01:20:34,939 --> 01:20:37,422
<i>These dredges cost
a lot of money,</i>

1353
01:20:37,422 --> 01:20:39,939
<i>and some guys put everything
they have into them.</i>

1354
01:20:39,939 --> 01:20:45,008
But it's hard to admit
when Mother Nature beats you
and it's time to give it up.

1355
01:20:45,008 --> 01:20:49,663

<i>We're all up here trying
to put some gold
in our own pockets.</i>

1368
01:22:21,146 --> 01:22:23,836
But at the end of the day,
we're all a team up here.

1369
01:22:23,836 --> 01:22:25,353
We take care of our own.

1370
01:22:25,353 --> 01:22:28,284
<i>It's a community,
and we never forget that.</i>

1371
01:22:30,387 --> 01:22:31,974
We're home.

<i>Next time, on</i> Bering Sea Gold.

1375
01:22:48,111 --> 01:22:50,767
We don't [bleep]
see you in this [bleep] boat.

1376

[man speaking]

1377
01:22:52,284 --> 01:22:54,284
I'm going out
with or without you.

1378
01:22:55,663 --> 01:23:00,146
We shall come back rich,
richer than our
wildest imagination.

[clattering]

1380
01:23:01,318 --> 01:23:02,422
[bleep] Dammit!

1381
01:23:02,422 --> 01:23:03,560
[man] We hit the spot...

1382
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:04,698
Come on.

1383
01:23:04,698 --> 01:23:06,905

Fire her up.

We're still not moving.

Yeah! Let's go make money.
