1
00:00:10,379 --> 00:00:12,655
[crackling]
2
00:00:12,655 --> 00:00:15,586
[Mike] The end of ice mining
looms on the horizon.
3
00:00:15,586 --> 00:00:17,862
And the fleet is
at the end of their rope.
4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
[Shawn speaking]
5
00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:25,241
[groaning]
6
00:00:25,241 --> 00:00:29,586
[Mike] As the twisted whims
of the Bering Sea tie
the miners in knots...
7
00:00:32,413 --> 00:00:34,448
[Chris speaking]
8
00:00:36,241 --> 00:00:39,620
[Mike] ...who can grab
a lifeline and pull
themselves to victory?
9
00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:41,379
[Zeke speaking]
10
00:00:42,827 --> 00:00:44,482
[groaning]
11
00:00:44,482 --> 00:00:47,689
[Mike] And who
will lose their grip
and come crashing down?
12
00:00:47,689 --> 00:00:49,206
- [Jeff speaking indistinctly]
- [Jane] That's the agreement!
13
00:00:50,379 --> 00:00:51,724
All right. [bleep] you.
14
00:01:09,275 --> 00:01:10,241
[car honking]
15
00:01:10,793 --> 00:01:13,275
Pick up on aisle five.
16
00:01:13,275 --> 00:01:15,689
[Mike] With the grind
of the winter campaign
wearing on her...
17
00:01:19,206 --> 00:01:22,620
[Mike] ...Jane Kilcher's
bringing in some much
needed moral support.
18
00:01:23,206 --> 00:01:24,379
[Jane] Hello.
19
00:01:24,379 --> 00:01:26,413
- [Kate] Hi. Hi!
- [Jane laughs]
20
00:01:27,137 --> 00:01:28,137
Snow above.
21
00:01:28,137 --> 00:01:30,103
- [Kate] I'm so excited!
- [Jane laughing]
22
00:01:30,103 --> 00:01:32,241
- [Kate] Whoo!
- [Jane] Kate.
23
00:01:32,241 --> 00:01:34,241
- [Kate speaking]
- [Jane laughs]
24
00:01:35,137 --> 00:01:37,206
This season's been
tough all around,
25
00:01:37,206 --> 00:01:38,551
I'm not gonna lie.
26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,689
[man] Uh-oh.
27
00:01:40,551 --> 00:01:42,517
[man speaking]
28
00:01:42,517 --> 00:01:45,000
[Jane] It's been
a struggle getting
the hang of ice mining.
29
00:01:46,793 --> 00:01:47,965
[Eddie] .66.
30
00:01:47,965 --> 00:01:49,551
At-- At least it's something.
31
00:01:49,551 --> 00:01:51,241
We have virtually no gold
32
00:01:51,241 --> 00:01:54,551
and with this team,
the pressure, is like,
breaking us down.
33
00:01:54,551 --> 00:01:56,137
[Eddie speaking]
34
00:01:58,517 --> 00:01:59,586
[Jane speaking]
35
00:01:59,586 --> 00:02:00,965
[Eddie speaking]
36
00:02:00,965 --> 00:02:02,206
[Jane speaking]
37
00:02:03,896 --> 00:02:06,137
- Okay.
- [Kate] Whoo!
38
00:02:06,137 --> 00:02:07,241
Okay. Got it.
39
00:02:08,379 --> 00:02:10,379
So, I guess I'm gonna drive?
40
00:02:10,379 --> 00:02:11,517
[Jane] You're--
You're driving.
41
00:02:11,517 --> 00:02:14,275
- Because I've driven
with you before.
- [Jane laughs]
42
00:02:14,275 --> 00:02:16,103
It's been months since
I've seen a friendly face
43
00:02:16,103 --> 00:02:18,068
and right now I
really need that.
44
00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:20,586
So, I asked my cousin Kate
from Texas to come up
45
00:02:20,586 --> 00:02:23,137
and witness this madness
that I'm going through.
46
00:02:23,137 --> 00:02:24,206
[Kate] And then which
way are we going?
47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Um...
48
00:02:29,344 --> 00:02:30,413
Go forward.
49
00:02:30,413 --> 00:02:32,034
- We can decide--
- Well, obviously.
50
00:02:32,034 --> 00:02:33,482
- [Jane laughing]
- [Kate] Now what would
you do without me here?
51
00:02:33,482 --> 00:02:34,896
[Jane speaking]
52
00:02:40,965 --> 00:02:42,655
[Kate] Whoo-hoo!
53
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:45,275
Oh, my God.
54
00:02:50,724 --> 00:02:54,482
Honestly, at this point,
I'm hoping that this team
can have, like, one day
55
00:02:54,482 --> 00:02:55,862
without any fighting,
56
00:02:55,862 --> 00:02:58,344
and we can actually
have, like, at least
one successful dive.
57
00:02:58,896 --> 00:02:59,862
For once.
58
00:03:01,068 --> 00:03:02,034
[Jane] Kate, this
is Jeff and Eddie.
59
00:03:02,034 --> 00:03:03,931
Eddie, Jeff.
60
00:03:03,931 --> 00:03:05,655
Kate. She's a hot mess.
61
00:03:06,137 --> 00:03:07,000
Just like me.
62
00:03:07,724 --> 00:03:08,620
Just like me.
63
00:03:11,172 --> 00:03:13,137
[Jane laughing]
64
00:03:14,482 --> 00:03:16,241
- So, this is the shack.
- [Kate] Wow.
65
00:03:16,241 --> 00:03:18,034
[Jane] And I actually
sit, like, right there.
66
00:03:18,034 --> 00:03:20,482
If I wanna talk to the diver,
I have to press this to talk.
67
00:03:20,482 --> 00:03:22,275
I'm like, "Hello,
see any gold?"
68
00:03:23,793 --> 00:03:25,931
- [Kate laughing]
- I'm like, "Whoo."
69
00:03:25,931 --> 00:03:27,620
That's what happens there.
70
00:03:27,620 --> 00:03:30,379
It's crazy that this is what
I've been doing this winter.
71
00:03:30,379 --> 00:03:33,206
[Kate] I can't
even write,
I'm so cold.
72
00:03:33,206 --> 00:03:35,724
[Jane] I've never seen an ice
mining operation before.
73
00:03:35,724 --> 00:03:39,448
When Emily said she needed
me to be her eyes and ears,
74
00:03:39,448 --> 00:03:41,137
of course I said yes.
75
00:03:44,137 --> 00:03:45,310
[Jeff speaking]
76
00:03:47,965 --> 00:03:48,896
[Kate] Oh, you're
moving the whole shack?
77
00:03:48,896 --> 00:03:49,931
[Jeff speaking]
78
00:03:49,931 --> 00:03:50,620
[Kate] Wow.
79
00:03:51,172 --> 00:03:52,344
[Jane speaking]
80
00:03:53,344 --> 00:03:54,586
[Jeff] Uh...
81
00:03:54,586 --> 00:03:56,655
[Jane speaking]
82
00:03:56,655 --> 00:03:57,344
Get the holes done.
83
00:03:58,034 --> 00:03:58,862
- Yeah.
- [Jane] Okay.
84
00:03:58,862 --> 00:04:00,103
[Jane laughs]
85
00:04:00,103 --> 00:04:02,482
I don't even think we're
gonna get a dive in today.
86
00:04:02,482 --> 00:04:04,034
That's the way things
have been going.
87
00:04:04,034 --> 00:04:06,034
So I'm gonna show
Kate around Nome.
88
00:04:06,034 --> 00:04:08,344
The boys will text me when
they are ready to dive.
89
00:04:08,344 --> 00:04:09,206
Fingers crossed.
90
00:04:10,344 --> 00:04:12,137
All right. Well, we're gonna
get out of your hair.
91
00:04:12,137 --> 00:04:14,206
I'm gonna go get fried
food at the Gold Dust.
92
00:04:14,206 --> 00:04:15,896
Don't go through
withdrawal for me.
93
00:04:15,896 --> 00:04:17,896
[Jeff and Eddie laughing]
94
00:04:18,862 --> 00:04:19,551
[Jane] Bye.
95
00:04:19,551 --> 00:04:21,413
[Jeff] You guys ride safe!
96
00:04:21,413 --> 00:04:23,000
[Kate laughs] Thank you.
97
00:04:23,344 --> 00:04:24,000
Bye.
98
00:04:27,137 --> 00:04:29,379
[Shawn] I got two
weeks left in the season.
99
00:04:30,517 --> 00:04:32,655
It's coming to an end.
100
00:04:32,655 --> 00:04:35,172
[Mike] As winter mining
reaches the homestretch,
101
00:04:35,172 --> 00:04:39,827
Nome's resident king has
his back up against the wall.
102
00:04:39,827 --> 00:04:43,482
We're getting our asses
handed to us this year.
103
00:04:43,482 --> 00:04:46,344
This season I took a chance.
Left the Tomcod
104
00:04:46,344 --> 00:04:48,310
and moved over
to the East Tract.
105
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:51,275
We got to spend
most of the season
close to the town.
106
00:04:51,275 --> 00:04:53,793
But I don't know
the ground that well.
107
00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:57,241
Honestly, that
gamble is biting me
in the ass right now.
108
00:04:57,241 --> 00:04:59,827
If I'm gonna hit 100
ounces and stay on top,
109
00:04:59,827 --> 00:05:01,275
I'm gonna need better ground.
110
00:05:02,793 --> 00:05:05,137
I don't know how many
holes we've done.
111
00:05:05,689 --> 00:05:07,896
We always see gold but
112
00:05:07,896 --> 00:05:12,620
when you're running
to heat it, it's gotta be
really good gold.
113
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:16,517
I sent Joe out ahead
of me to check one last
spot on the East Tract.
114
00:05:16,517 --> 00:05:19,517
If he doesn't find anything
worth staying there for,
115
00:05:19,517 --> 00:05:21,586
I'm gonna admit defeat,
116
00:05:21,586 --> 00:05:23,758
we're gonna move the whole
operation to the Tomcod.
117
00:05:29,724 --> 00:05:30,379
Huh.
118
00:05:33,448 --> 00:05:34,137
[bleep]
119
00:05:35,965 --> 00:05:37,965
Oh, where, oh,
where did my Joe go?
120
00:05:41,965 --> 00:05:43,448
One shack's still here.
121
00:05:44,827 --> 00:05:46,586
Where in the hell did Joe go?
122
00:05:47,344 --> 00:05:49,724
I see. Oh, look at that.
123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,862
[groans]
124
00:05:52,862 --> 00:05:57,275
Thought this was gonna
turn out to be a good
spot but obviously not.
125
00:05:58,275 --> 00:05:59,000
No gold.
126
00:06:01,517 --> 00:06:03,724
Crap, he's already gone.
127
00:06:03,724 --> 00:06:06,758
All the way down
to the Tomcod,
six miles down the coast.
128
00:06:07,862 --> 00:06:10,241
Well, there's your answer.
129
00:06:10,241 --> 00:06:13,931
I don't make many mistakes
but East Tract was one of 'em.
130
00:06:13,931 --> 00:06:15,931
So, it's time to head
to the Tomcod.
131
00:06:17,172 --> 00:06:19,620
I'm tracking Joe right now.
132
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:21,551
I'll find him. I got a trail.
133
00:06:21,551 --> 00:06:23,862
He left me some bread crumbs.
134
00:06:23,862 --> 00:06:26,896
Wish he would have
left me some flakes
of gold I can follow.
135
00:06:30,275 --> 00:06:31,172
Here we go.
136
00:06:32,793 --> 00:06:33,827
[laughs]
137
00:06:36,655 --> 00:06:37,689
No gold?
138
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:39,724
[Joe speaking]
139
00:06:45,172 --> 00:06:46,655
[Shawn] Joe's
already been working.
140
00:06:46,655 --> 00:06:48,620
He said he found
a potential hot spot.
141
00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:52,000
I'm praying he's right 'cause
moving this whole operation,
142
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
it's a big risk.
143
00:06:59,551 --> 00:07:01,482
- [man] Yeah.
- Oh, thanks
for the sign too.
144
00:07:02,724 --> 00:07:04,034
Appreciate that.
145
00:07:04,034 --> 00:07:05,379
[laughing]
146
00:07:05,965 --> 00:07:07,275
Now it's gold time.
147
00:07:07,275 --> 00:07:08,586
Let's get to work.
148
00:07:10,310 --> 00:07:13,655
I'm gonna go see some
of this gold that Joe's
been talking about.
149
00:07:13,655 --> 00:07:16,034
He's gonna suck some
of it up. Oh, yeah!
150
00:07:16,689 --> 00:07:17,758
[Shawn] You know I am.
151
00:07:17,758 --> 00:07:18,793
[Joe laughs]
152
00:07:35,206 --> 00:07:36,137
Oh.
153
00:07:36,758 --> 00:07:37,517
Oh, dang.
154
00:07:41,724 --> 00:07:43,068
[Joe speaking]
155
00:07:44,241 --> 00:07:46,137
[Shawn speaking]
156
00:07:46,137 --> 00:07:47,103
Loud and clear.
157
00:07:52,655 --> 00:07:54,448
[Shawn speaking]
158
00:08:04,068 --> 00:08:04,931
[groaning]
159
00:08:06,517 --> 00:08:07,241
[Shawn] Wow.
160
00:08:09,931 --> 00:08:11,344
[Joe speaking]
161
00:08:12,379 --> 00:08:14,379
[Shawn speaking]
162
00:08:18,482 --> 00:08:19,517
[groaning in frustration]
163
00:08:20,344 --> 00:08:22,344

[Shawn speaking]

00:08:52,068 --> 00:08:52,931
[groans]
168
00:08:52,931 --> 00:08:54,068
Look at all of this stuff.
169
00:08:55,448 --> 00:08:56,862
Look at all of it!
170
00:08:58,068 --> 00:08:59,172
[screaming in frustration]
171
00:09:07,862 --> 00:09:09,896
[Chris] Let's get back
in money-making.
172
00:09:09,896 --> 00:09:10,586
Okay, good. Go.
173
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,655
[machine starts]
174
00:09:12,655 --> 00:09:14,758
- [Chris] Up, up, up, up.
Higher up.
- [John] Higher up.
175
00:09:15,172 --> 00:09:16,344
[Chris speaking]
176
00:09:16,344 --> 00:09:17,103
[snickers]
177
00:09:17,965 --> 00:09:20,000
[Mike] In winter's
waning days,
178
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,103
Chris McCully is looking
to lasso the gold count title.
179
00:09:24,103 --> 00:09:26,241
We still have two more
weeks and we can't slow down.
180
00:09:26,586 --> 00:09:27,586
[speaking]
181
00:09:29,586 --> 00:09:30,827
It'd be really insane
182
00:09:30,827 --> 00:09:32,862
to pull more gold
than Shawn this winter.
183
00:09:32,862 --> 00:09:36,310
At this point, it's looking
like a very real possibility.
184
00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:40,344
We just gotta close
strong and I think we
can pull this one off.
185
00:09:40,344 --> 00:09:43,206
Luckily, we're on some
real hot ground.
186
00:09:43,206 --> 00:09:45,068
And we call it "Wall Street."
187
00:09:45,068 --> 00:09:46,862
It's just where the money is.
188
00:09:46,862 --> 00:09:49,103
The plan is we're gonna send
me and John down there
189
00:09:49,103 --> 00:09:51,000
so that we can reap
some dividends.
190
00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:53,517
- Power on?
- Power's on.
191
00:09:54,241 --> 00:09:55,931
[speaking]
192
00:09:55,931 --> 00:09:59,689
Now I'm gonna send John first
but I got this diver named Bo.
193
00:09:59,689 --> 00:10:02,517
He's new but I'm gonna
break him in up top first.
194
00:10:02,517 --> 00:10:04,965
With so little time left
into our season,
195
00:10:04,965 --> 00:10:07,137
we need to keep
our operation flawless.
196
00:10:09,137 --> 00:10:09,793
Whoo!
197
00:10:16,689 --> 00:10:17,482
[man exclaims]
198
00:10:18,034 --> 00:10:19,000
[Chris] Is it out?
199
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,931
Oh, [bleep]. Oh, God!
200
00:10:27,689 --> 00:10:28,862
Oh, my God.
201
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,379
[bleep]
202
00:10:33,931 --> 00:10:36,655
I started idling up, that
thing gave up, like...
203
00:10:38,413 --> 00:10:41,344
Almost killed my
operation, dude.
204
00:10:41,344 --> 00:10:43,862
My air compressor, the lights.
205
00:10:44,586 --> 00:10:46,724
The intake, the generator.
206
00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:50,931
Good thing they're
still running though.
207
00:10:50,931 --> 00:10:53,275
We got a giant leak
in the hose, um...
208
00:10:53,275 --> 00:10:55,068
We can't really
mine like this.
209
00:10:55,068 --> 00:10:56,827
We don't really have
a backup for this
210
00:10:56,827 --> 00:10:59,896
but hopefully it's an easy fix
so that we can get back going.
211
00:11:00,517 --> 00:11:02,310
[speaking]
212
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:04,586
[Bo speaking]
213
00:11:04,586 --> 00:11:05,344
It needs to be--
214
00:11:05,344 --> 00:11:07,344
[Chris speaking]
215
00:11:18,275 --> 00:11:18,965
[bleep]
216
00:11:20,517 --> 00:11:22,275
[bleep]
217
00:11:22,275 --> 00:11:23,448
They fire it up, it's--
218
00:11:23,448 --> 00:11:25,413
Water spraying over here.
219
00:11:25,413 --> 00:11:27,068
It's like the water
park down here.
220
00:11:27,448 --> 00:11:28,103
Tape.
221
00:11:28,448 --> 00:11:29,758
Tape.
222
00:11:29,758 --> 00:11:32,896
Tape! He's wrapping a high
pressure hose with tape.
223
00:11:33,379 --> 00:11:34,896
Dude, come on.
224
00:11:34,896 --> 00:11:36,241
It's not gonna come
close to cutting it.
225
00:11:37,379 --> 00:11:39,482
I have to go
to the store and, uh...
226
00:11:39,482 --> 00:11:41,206
Uh, get a Band-Aid for that.
227
00:11:41,206 --> 00:11:43,758
Like a real fix
solution to it.
228
00:11:44,931 --> 00:11:47,068
We need a proper
sleeve to fix this.
229
00:11:47,068 --> 00:11:49,344
So I got to run back
to town and pick one up.
230
00:11:49,344 --> 00:11:52,793
For now we're dead
in the water until we
get this thing fixed.
231
00:11:52,793 --> 00:11:55,137
And that means
we're losing money.
232
00:11:55,137 --> 00:11:56,344
And we're losing it fast.
233
00:11:57,206 --> 00:11:58,758
Yeah, I better go do that now
234
00:11:58,758 --> 00:12:00,482
before I-- we waste time.
235
00:12:01,517 --> 00:12:02,310
[speaking]
236
00:12:12,517 --> 00:12:14,655
[Kris] Let's just
keep bringing it up,
237
00:12:14,655 --> 00:12:17,586
and then when you think
that's good enough to weld
on and everything,
238
00:12:17,586 --> 00:12:19,344
we'll put it to that level.
239
00:12:19,344 --> 00:12:21,137
- Right on.
- [man exclaims]
240
00:12:21,137 --> 00:12:23,206
[Mike] With limited
time left this season,
241
00:12:23,206 --> 00:12:25,103
Kris Kelly's sea crawler dream
242
00:12:25,103 --> 00:12:26,344
is hanging on by a thread.
243
00:12:27,482 --> 00:12:28,137
[Kris] That's good!
244
00:12:28,758 --> 00:12:29,758
[man] Okay.
245
00:12:29,758 --> 00:12:32,793
Andy's cutting off
one restrictor ring
246
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:34,482
for the swivel nozzle.
247
00:12:34,482 --> 00:12:37,310
Mike's welding
on the other side.
248
00:12:37,310 --> 00:12:39,344
If you would have told me
in the beginning that
249
00:12:39,344 --> 00:12:40,758
winter would almost be over,
250
00:12:40,758 --> 00:12:43,965
we have no gold, we'd
be messing with this
thing all day long,
251
00:12:43,965 --> 00:12:46,034
I'd tell you, "Just
kill me right now."
252
00:12:46,034 --> 00:12:48,965
I never dreamed it would
waste our whole season
253
00:12:48,965 --> 00:12:50,758
just getting the gold
trawl up and running.
254
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,862
[speaking]
255
00:12:57,034 --> 00:13:00,000
It starts off on the right,
now it's all
the way on the left.
256
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,586
Do you think that's a problem?
257
00:13:02,586 --> 00:13:04,931
Well, then why didn't you
take care of that problem?
258
00:13:05,965 --> 00:13:07,827
If we can ever get
that thing working,
259
00:13:07,827 --> 00:13:09,068
it would be a game changer.
260
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:12,689
But if it keeps
needing to be fixed,
261
00:13:12,689 --> 00:13:14,379
Reaper Nation is done for.
262
00:13:16,206 --> 00:13:20,241
This will make sure
that we don't get rock
jams all day long.
263
00:13:20,241 --> 00:13:21,000
I hope.
264
00:13:21,862 --> 00:13:23,689
No, this will.
This will make sure.
265
00:13:23,689 --> 00:13:24,724
So, what I'm gonna do is,
266
00:13:24,724 --> 00:13:27,172
I'm gonna take
this reducer ring,
267
00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:29,793
and we're just
gonna hard weld it...
268
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,689
to this.
269
00:13:33,137 --> 00:13:34,896
And then, uh,
270
00:13:34,896 --> 00:13:37,931
we'll be able to blast
the [bleep] out of everything.
271
00:13:38,517 --> 00:13:39,586
[Andy speaking]
272
00:13:41,586 --> 00:13:43,275
You like that, huh?
273
00:13:43,275 --> 00:13:46,103
A million things have gone
wrong with this bad boy.
274
00:13:46,103 --> 00:13:48,413
But the only thing that's
holding us up right now
275
00:13:48,413 --> 00:13:50,758
is the rock guard
we've installed.
276
00:13:50,758 --> 00:13:52,965
The crawler sucks up
everything in its path.
277
00:13:52,965 --> 00:13:55,931
Without a rock guard,
it gets rock jammed easy.
278
00:13:55,931 --> 00:13:58,310
With it fixed, that
shouldn't be an issue.
279
00:13:58,310 --> 00:14:00,758
We should just be
sucking up gold nonstop.
280
00:14:01,827 --> 00:14:02,862
I think we're gonna have
281
00:14:02,862 --> 00:14:05,000
- the most amazing
thing on the water.
- Yeah.
282
00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:09,689
[Kris] And we're ready
to go back in the water.
283
00:14:15,931 --> 00:14:16,862
[man] Coming down.
284
00:14:21,310 --> 00:14:22,068
[Kris] It's going down.
285
00:14:24,862 --> 00:14:26,000
It's flat on the ground.
286
00:14:27,275 --> 00:14:28,275
Okay, there we go.
287
00:14:29,275 --> 00:14:30,758
- [Andy] We're good to go.
- [Kris] Yeah.
288
00:14:32,724 --> 00:14:33,827
Yeah, [bleep].
289
00:14:36,448 --> 00:14:37,655
[Kris] Oh, you see
the sand over--
290
00:14:37,655 --> 00:14:39,000
Ooh, I like it like that!
291
00:14:39,517 --> 00:14:41,344
I like it like that.
292
00:14:41,344 --> 00:14:43,103
That's my perfect material.
293
00:14:43,103 --> 00:14:45,344
A little bit of sand
over the cobble.
294
00:14:45,827 --> 00:14:47,310
Yes! It's alive.
295
00:14:47,310 --> 00:14:49,931
It's like a two-ton anchor's
been lifted off my shoulders.
296
00:14:51,068 --> 00:14:53,000
I was starting to lose hope.
297
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,724
I literally was
not expecting it
298
00:14:55,724 --> 00:14:59,172
to push everything around
like a [bleep] plow.
299
00:14:59,172 --> 00:15:01,724
[Andy] I've already
taken this whole stretch.
300
00:15:01,724 --> 00:15:04,068
Look at Andy over there making
more gold than he ever has.
301
00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:06,482
Leave that rock alone.
302
00:15:08,551 --> 00:15:09,724
Look at that.
303
00:15:09,724 --> 00:15:11,482
You're a [bleep] child.
304
00:15:11,482 --> 00:15:15,896
Now, we just have to push
hard and mine as much
material as we can
305
00:15:15,896 --> 00:15:18,620
and pray, pray this crawler
doesn't break down.
306
00:15:19,827 --> 00:15:21,655
[Andy] Now, get
the material below it.
307
00:15:21,655 --> 00:15:24,241
- Yeah, look at that.
- [Kris laughing triumphantly]
308
00:15:24,241 --> 00:15:26,655
- Look at how much material.
- Oh yeah, look
at that material.
309
00:15:26,655 --> 00:15:27,862
Nice and fine.
310
00:15:27,862 --> 00:15:30,379
[Kris] We're actually
removing more material today,
311
00:15:30,379 --> 00:15:33,482
we're probably getting
more gold per hour
than we ever have,
312
00:15:33,482 --> 00:15:36,344
and we're not breaking
a sweat doing it.
313
00:15:36,344 --> 00:15:39,034
Look at how well
that[bleep] thing works!
314
00:15:40,793 --> 00:15:41,758
[Mike] Across the ice...
315
00:15:45,172 --> 00:15:46,896
[Zeke speaking]
316
00:15:46,896 --> 00:15:50,310
So, it's like, we're
pretty much set off
to just cruise here.
317
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:52,793
[Mike] Despite a close
call last time out,
318
00:15:52,793 --> 00:15:55,413
Zeke Tenhoff is pressing
his luck yet again.
319
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,034
Just dialing these
last, uh, minor details.
320
00:16:01,034 --> 00:16:04,655
[Zeke] There's a bunch
of good gold and, uh,
321
00:16:04,655 --> 00:16:06,551
it's going out
under the sand
over that way.
322
00:16:08,724 --> 00:16:10,448
So this season has been
pretty good so far.
323
00:16:10,448 --> 00:16:13,034
We set a minimum
goal of 25 ounces
324
00:16:13,034 --> 00:16:15,103
and we're most of the way
to that number by now.
325
00:16:15,103 --> 00:16:18,137
And that's because we
found a pretty hot pastry.
326
00:16:18,137 --> 00:16:22,620
But the thing is, is that
it's under these crazy
dangerous pressure ridges.
327
00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:26,310
And these ice blocks
are basically causing
near-death experiences.
328
00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:27,379
[Zeke struggling]
329
00:16:28,965 --> 00:16:31,137
- What's up?
- [Zeke speaking]
330
00:16:31,137 --> 00:16:32,586
[Nate speaking]
331
00:16:32,586 --> 00:16:35,379
[Zeke] Last time out, a really
big chunk of ice broke off
332
00:16:35,379 --> 00:16:36,827
and nearly plugged
up the hole.
333
00:16:39,137 --> 00:16:42,379
We moved to an area
where the pressure ridge
isn't quite as dangerous.
334
00:16:42,379 --> 00:16:45,482
It's still gonna be dicey
but the gold is so good
335
00:16:45,482 --> 00:16:47,379
that we can't really
just pass it up.
336
00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:49,068
Especially this
late in the season.
337
00:16:49,068 --> 00:16:50,482
So bring it on!
338
00:16:51,068 --> 00:16:52,206
[distorted] All right.
339
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:03,724
[speaking]
340
00:17:05,896 --> 00:17:06,586
Whoa!
341
00:17:08,310 --> 00:17:09,103
Look at that!
342
00:17:10,827 --> 00:17:11,931
It's so spooky.
343
00:17:16,517 --> 00:17:18,862
This is one of the more
dangerous holes.
344
00:17:18,862 --> 00:17:22,344
Um, just the way the pressure
ridges come down
345
00:17:22,344 --> 00:17:24,724
make these really
sharp snags, um,
346
00:17:25,551 --> 00:17:26,655
that tangle the tether.
347
00:17:27,310 --> 00:17:29,379
That's our lifeline, um...
348
00:17:29,379 --> 00:17:31,172
When we're down there,
if we don't have, uh,
349
00:17:31,172 --> 00:17:33,551
a way to get back up
and we're tangled up,
350
00:17:33,551 --> 00:17:37,000
there's no other way
than to make a mask off
emergency ascent.
351
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,862
Which is pretty much every
diver's worst nightmare.
352
00:17:39,862 --> 00:17:42,413
Um, the saltwater has
a lower point of freezing.
353
00:17:42,413 --> 00:17:44,448
We're looking
at 27 degree water.
354
00:17:44,448 --> 00:17:46,206
Uh, you don't want
that on your face.
355
00:17:51,172 --> 00:17:52,655
[Zeke speaking]
356
00:17:55,172 --> 00:17:56,689
Okey dokey. Roger that.
357
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:08,724
I've bumped it up a little bit
after you said it was cold.
358
00:18:08,724 --> 00:18:10,758
[Zeke speaking]
359
00:18:13,206 --> 00:18:17,206
Okay. Well, I'm just going
tiny increments so it doesn't
go too hot or too cold.
360
00:18:17,206 --> 00:18:19,068
I'm trying to just
give tiny little things.
361
00:18:19,068 --> 00:18:20,000
[Zeke speaking]
362
00:18:33,862 --> 00:18:36,000
[Zeke] All right. What are we
gonna find down here?
363
00:18:38,827 --> 00:18:41,206
All right, try
and plow it through.
Let's see what's under there.
364
00:18:44,896 --> 00:18:45,655
Oh!
365
00:18:46,931 --> 00:18:48,931
[speaking]
366
00:18:51,137 --> 00:18:51,862
[Nate] Yeah!
367
00:18:54,620 --> 00:18:56,068
[Zeke speaking]
368
00:18:58,931 --> 00:19:00,482
Oh, look at all those pieces.
369
00:19:01,517 --> 00:19:03,379
[speaking]
370
00:19:05,275 --> 00:19:06,551
Hell, yeah. That's awesome.
371
00:19:09,068 --> 00:19:11,206
[Zeke speaking]
372
00:19:11,482 --> 00:19:12,172
It is.
373
00:19:13,137 --> 00:19:15,275
Zeke is seeing some good gold.
374
00:19:15,275 --> 00:19:16,413
Which is what we needed.
375
00:19:17,482 --> 00:19:19,482
[Zeke speaking]
376
00:19:20,379 --> 00:19:21,689
[Nate] Hopefully, uh, we can
377
00:19:21,689 --> 00:19:23,586
keep following
the trail of crumbs.
378
00:19:25,586 --> 00:19:27,586
[Zeke speaking]
379
00:19:29,586 --> 00:19:30,448
[Mike] Four miles east...
380
00:19:35,724 --> 00:19:37,724
[Jeff speaking]
381
00:19:43,758 --> 00:19:45,344
[laughing]
382
00:19:45,344 --> 00:19:49,827
[Mike] Jane's team is up
and mining but without
their captain-in-training.
383
00:19:49,827 --> 00:19:51,034
- [Eddie speaking]
- [Jeff speaking]
384
00:19:51,034 --> 00:19:52,793
[Jeff speaking]
385
00:19:52,793 --> 00:19:54,172
No nap time.
386
00:19:54,172 --> 00:19:56,103
- Pull me-- Pull me
up before you go to sleep.
- [Eddie laughing]
387
00:19:56,103 --> 00:19:57,448
- Cold gold.
- Cold gold?
388
00:19:57,448 --> 00:19:59,827
[laughing]
389
00:19:59,827 --> 00:20:00,965
All right. Let's do it.
390
00:20:11,172 --> 00:20:12,310
[Jane speaking]
391
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:14,517
Thought you were
gonna call, text.
392
00:20:15,793 --> 00:20:17,827
Thought you were gonna text
when you were gonna go diving.
393
00:20:20,379 --> 00:20:23,137
- What?
- I thought you were gonna text
when you were gonna go diving.
394
00:20:23,931 --> 00:20:25,137
I hadn't heard from the guys
395
00:20:25,137 --> 00:20:26,206
and lo and behold,
396
00:20:26,206 --> 00:20:28,344
they're already suited
up and they're diving.
397
00:20:28,344 --> 00:20:29,482
Like, what the hell?
398
00:20:30,862 --> 00:20:32,241
[Jeff speaking]
399
00:20:32,241 --> 00:20:33,344
[Jane] Oh, you
haven't been in yet?
400
00:20:33,344 --> 00:20:34,758
[Jeff speaking]
401
00:20:34,758 --> 00:20:37,827
Jeff, I'm just really
feeling disrespected
about communication.
402
00:20:38,931 --> 00:20:40,379
[Jeff speaking]
403
00:20:41,827 --> 00:20:43,793
I thought we had
clear communication, when...
404
00:20:43,793 --> 00:20:45,448
When it's time to dive,
405
00:20:45,448 --> 00:20:47,827
- you guys would let me know,
or give me, like, a notice.
- Jane...
406
00:20:49,586 --> 00:20:51,413
No, it's not this
one incident!
407
00:20:51,413 --> 00:20:53,482
It's a lot!
408
00:20:53,482 --> 00:20:55,034
- Uh, what I'm saying--
- It does matter.
409
00:20:55,034 --> 00:20:56,379
Emily told me when
I came out here,
410
00:20:56,379 --> 00:20:58,655
this operation would be
ready to go.
411
00:20:58,655 --> 00:21:01,206
I'm not here to be
treated with disrespect.
412
00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:16,068
[Jane] The agreement was,
when you're diving,
413
00:21:16,068 --> 00:21:17,034
that I didn't need to
stand around,
414
00:21:17,034 --> 00:21:19,344
but you're still
doing mechanical issues.
415
00:21:19,344 --> 00:21:20,551
- [Jeff] Jane--
- Don't come down on me,
416
00:21:20,551 --> 00:21:23,241
I'm the one
that's disrespected,
not you!
417
00:21:23,241 --> 00:21:24,931
- Yes, you are,
I'm telling you are...
- Jane--
418
00:21:24,931 --> 00:21:25,965
...because my feelings
are hurt.
419
00:21:30,103 --> 00:21:31,758
- That's--
- [Jane] And also
communicate with me.
420
00:21:36,965 --> 00:21:39,172
[Jane] And our agreement was,
for when you dive...
421
00:21:40,172 --> 00:21:42,103
You let me know,
and you did not.
422
00:21:42,103 --> 00:21:42,931
You just--
423
00:21:45,103 --> 00:21:46,206
[Jane] That's the
agreement!
424
00:21:47,137 --> 00:21:48,517
All right, [bleep] you.
425
00:21:56,517 --> 00:21:57,344
[Jane] You just--
426
00:21:59,793 --> 00:22:00,931
[Jane] That's the agreement.
427
00:22:01,827 --> 00:22:03,310
All right, [bleep] you.
428
00:22:04,517 --> 00:22:05,724
[Jeff speaking]
429
00:22:06,724 --> 00:22:07,896
[Jane] She is going to
call you.
430
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:11,827
[Jane] Well, you're gonna
get that phone call.
431
00:22:16,551 --> 00:22:17,896
[Jane] Yeah, dive!
432
00:22:17,896 --> 00:22:20,413
And then we'll
have a talk,
I'm not staying now!
433
00:22:20,413 --> 00:22:22,655
Because you [bleep]
don't say you don't
need me.
434
00:22:22,655 --> 00:22:25,068
And then you're not
doing anything
till Emily talks to you.
435
00:22:25,068 --> 00:22:28,241
Well, guess what,
she's gonna [bleep]
talk to you.
436
00:22:28,241 --> 00:22:30,724
And don't be bitching
me out when I'm the one disrespected.
437
00:22:34,034 --> 00:22:36,344
The things that are
coming out of your mouth
are so rude.
438
00:22:37,827 --> 00:22:39,965
And I am here to be
part of the tender.
439
00:22:39,965 --> 00:22:43,034
But we agreed that
there'll be a phone call
for when you're ready to dive.
440
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,172
That was
the agreement.
441
00:22:48,517 --> 00:22:50,206
[bleep] unacceptable.
442
00:22:51,206 --> 00:22:52,413
Everything I said
was right,
443
00:22:52,413 --> 00:22:55,862
and everything he said
was absolutely,
100% dead wrong.
444
00:22:56,827 --> 00:22:58,275
Well, that was BS.
445
00:22:58,275 --> 00:23:00,586
My job specifically
out here for Emily
446
00:23:00,586 --> 00:23:02,931
is to oversee
the operation
while she's gone.
447
00:23:03,724 --> 00:23:05,517
For them to go
and do a dive,
448
00:23:05,517 --> 00:23:07,379
and not tell me,
and then why'd you
have to be like,
449
00:23:07,379 --> 00:23:08,689
so condescending
about it.
450
00:23:10,034 --> 00:23:10,931
Ooh.
451
00:23:10,931 --> 00:23:12,689
It's just not okay
in any way.
452
00:23:12,689 --> 00:23:14,517
The team is in tatters.
453
00:23:17,344 --> 00:23:18,758
[Eddie] Hey!
454
00:23:18,758 --> 00:23:20,896
[Jane] So, I don't wanna
stay out here,
I feel like...
455
00:23:20,896 --> 00:23:23,034
Like, I feel like
he owes me an apology.
456
00:23:23,034 --> 00:23:24,448
And I don't...
I-I started by
just saying
457
00:23:24,448 --> 00:23:25,862
I feel disrespected,
458
00:23:25,862 --> 00:23:28,000
and he just kinda
got nasty with me.
459
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,655
And saying that you don't
need me here to dive...
460
00:23:30,655 --> 00:23:32,586
It would've been
really nice to
have you guys here earlier.
461
00:23:32,586 --> 00:23:34,413
- [Jane] I was waiting
to come.
- Right.
462
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:36,517
[Jeff speaking]
463
00:23:38,413 --> 00:23:41,034
- Well, I'm happy
that he's doing good.
- [Eddie] I know, right?
464
00:23:41,034 --> 00:23:42,793
[Jane] All right, well,
I'm gonna let you go,
465
00:23:42,793 --> 00:23:44,793
I mean, I'm-I'm always
willing to work things out.
466
00:23:45,413 --> 00:23:46,724
[Eddie] Absolutely.
467
00:23:46,724 --> 00:23:49,172
[Jane] Well, all right,
well, hope you guys
get lots of gold.
468
00:23:52,344 --> 00:23:53,310
[Jeff] Hey!
469
00:24:04,689 --> 00:24:06,517
[Kris] Look at that,
that's beautiful, too.
470
00:24:06,517 --> 00:24:09,275
- You can totally tell
the place you could take it.
- Yeah.
471
00:24:09,275 --> 00:24:11,689
[Mike] With the Crawler,
working at full force,
472
00:24:11,689 --> 00:24:15,034
Reaper Nation might finally
have a line on success.
473
00:24:17,689 --> 00:24:19,103
See that line
you've just made,
474
00:24:19,103 --> 00:24:21,000
you just clear-cut
that whole area.
475
00:24:24,034 --> 00:24:27,000
It worked better than
I thought it was going to.
476
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,517
I think, in the
last three hours,
477
00:24:29,517 --> 00:24:32,482
we've done more ground
than we have in a
12-hour shift.
478
00:24:33,517 --> 00:24:35,724
Borderline home run.
479
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:37,793
Depends on how much gold
I see in the box.
480
00:24:37,793 --> 00:24:41,689
If I see a [bleep]
coat of gold,
that's a homerun.
481
00:24:41,689 --> 00:24:45,137
Finally, we actually got
a couple great hours in
with the Crawler,
482
00:24:45,137 --> 00:24:46,724
no broken rock guard,
483
00:24:46,724 --> 00:24:49,034
no getting stuck
on the sea floor.
484
00:24:49,034 --> 00:24:51,482
Now, it's working the way
God intended,
485
00:24:51,482 --> 00:24:53,000
or at least the way
I intended.
486
00:24:53,862 --> 00:24:56,206
The true test is
if we have gold in there,
487
00:24:56,206 --> 00:24:58,655
or are we just high
on our own supplies.
488
00:24:59,758 --> 00:25:01,000
[Kris] I'm shocked.
489
00:25:01,827 --> 00:25:03,551
You know,
I knew it was gonna work,
490
00:25:03,551 --> 00:25:07,068
but I didn't think
it was gonna work this good.
491
00:25:07,068 --> 00:25:09,172
Now we're gonna
actually see if there's
any gold in the box.
492
00:25:10,482 --> 00:25:13,000
Mike...
both engine's down!
493
00:25:14,241 --> 00:25:16,724
[engine whirring]
494
00:25:18,034 --> 00:25:20,379
[Kris] Let's just see,
whatever we get
is what we get.
495
00:25:26,655 --> 00:25:29,275
Hey, look at that
big piece of gold.
496
00:25:29,275 --> 00:25:31,275
[Andy] Holy mother [bleep]
look right there, dude.
497
00:25:31,275 --> 00:25:32,482
[Kris] Yeah, dude,
this feels nice.
498
00:25:32,862 --> 00:25:34,275
Gold there,
499
00:25:34,275 --> 00:25:36,551
- gold...
- Buddy, we got gold
all through those.
500
00:25:36,551 --> 00:25:38,275
[Kris] Oh, look at that
little tinker right there.
501
00:25:38,275 --> 00:25:41,586
Boom, it's real life gold,
it's all coming together.
502
00:25:41,586 --> 00:25:42,896
We got a half a day in today.
503
00:25:42,896 --> 00:25:45,517
Now we just need to
put the peddle to the metal.
504
00:25:45,517 --> 00:25:48,655
Full days,
no problems for
the rest of the way.
505
00:25:48,655 --> 00:25:51,206
Let's just pile up the gold,
and save our season.
506
00:25:52,379 --> 00:25:53,241
[Andy] Huh, we did good.
507
00:25:53,241 --> 00:25:55,275
- Yay yay yay yay!
- Wait for me, buddy.
508
00:25:55,275 --> 00:25:57,758
[Kris] Good job, everybody.
509
00:25:57,758 --> 00:25:59,586
- I don't know who
I'm talking to.
- Me.
510
00:25:59,586 --> 00:26:01,517
- You, good job, Andy.
- ...your old age.
511
00:26:01,517 --> 00:26:03,793
- Well, Andy, you know what,
you're a genius...
- You wanna kiss my boots?
512
00:26:03,793 --> 00:26:06,103
...you put all this
[bleep] together,
and make everything happen.
513
00:26:06,103 --> 00:26:06,965
Kiss my toes.
514
00:26:08,103 --> 00:26:10,689
[Kris] No need to even
work hard anymore.
515
00:26:13,724 --> 00:26:14,827
[Mike] Across the ice...
516
00:26:20,413 --> 00:26:22,379
[Zeke speaking]
517
00:26:22,379 --> 00:26:23,965
[Nate] Yeah!
518
00:26:23,965 --> 00:26:27,034
[Zeke] And I'm a little over
yonder a little bit.
519
00:26:27,034 --> 00:26:29,000
[Mike] In the
home stretch of winter,
520
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Zeke Tenhoff's
under pressure...
521
00:26:31,655 --> 00:26:32,551
Ridges.
522
00:26:34,206 --> 00:26:37,310
Zeke's, uh, been down there
for about five hours today,
523
00:26:37,310 --> 00:26:38,689
so we got a
good chunk done.
524
00:26:40,551 --> 00:26:42,000
[Nate speaking]
525
00:26:43,275 --> 00:26:44,517
[Zeke speaking]
526
00:26:53,758 --> 00:26:55,827
Well, that's good,
at least there's
a bunch of gold down there.
527
00:27:03,275 --> 00:27:05,103
[Zeke speaking]
528
00:27:08,172 --> 00:27:11,000
[Nate] All right, I'm gonna
run the pumps down
and pull that tether in.
529
00:27:15,620 --> 00:27:16,482
[Zeke speaking]
530
00:27:17,413 --> 00:27:18,275
Roger.
531
00:27:25,275 --> 00:27:27,758
The gold is looking hot!
That's good news.
532
00:27:27,758 --> 00:27:30,379
You gotta work for
a lot of thunder,
a lot of sand.
533
00:27:30,379 --> 00:27:31,275
[Zeke speaking]
534
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,551
What the [bleep]
535
00:27:42,344 --> 00:27:44,379
[Zeke groaning]
536
00:27:44,379 --> 00:27:46,206
- Is it completely stuck?
- [Zeke] Yeah.
537
00:27:48,586 --> 00:27:49,758
[static]
538
00:27:54,379 --> 00:27:57,034
[Nate] It's a serious
safety issue, uh...
539
00:27:57,034 --> 00:27:59,862
If that tether is snagged,
there's no way for
the diver to come up,
540
00:27:59,862 --> 00:28:01,586
- other than de-mask
and come up.
- [Zeke groans]
541
00:28:03,413 --> 00:28:04,344
[Zeke speaking]
542
00:28:11,137 --> 00:28:12,310
[grunts]
543
00:28:20,103 --> 00:28:21,275
[Zeke grunts]
544
00:28:22,724 --> 00:28:24,206
[Zeke speaking]
545
00:28:30,931 --> 00:28:31,896
That sucks!
546
00:28:33,241 --> 00:28:34,206
[static]
547
00:28:36,206 --> 00:28:38,758
So, we gotta disconnect
that mask
and pull it through?
548
00:28:39,724 --> 00:28:42,172
[Zeke groans and grunts]
549
00:28:42,931 --> 00:28:44,241
Can you still
make it up?
550
00:28:44,241 --> 00:28:45,482
[Zeke speaking]
551
00:28:46,137 --> 00:28:47,206
Super sketchy.
552
00:28:52,379 --> 00:28:53,758
[Zeke speaking]
553
00:28:53,758 --> 00:28:55,000
[laughing maniacally]
554
00:29:04,517 --> 00:29:05,620
[exhales sharply]
555
00:29:09,241 --> 00:29:10,827
[Nate] Tether snag.
556
00:29:10,827 --> 00:29:13,896
Pretty much, that's like,
the diver's worst nightmare
right there.
557
00:29:17,758 --> 00:29:18,793
[Nate speaking]
558
00:29:19,275 --> 00:29:20,827
No, I mean it's...
559
00:29:20,827 --> 00:29:23,620
- It's trapped in there.
- [Nate] Yeah.
560
00:29:23,620 --> 00:29:25,172
[Zeke] The ground under
these pressure ridges
561
00:29:25,172 --> 00:29:27,275
has been such a
double-edged sword.
562
00:29:27,275 --> 00:29:28,965
The gold is very good
and consistent,
563
00:29:28,965 --> 00:29:30,379
but it's just the
third time that it's
564
00:29:30,379 --> 00:29:32,034
almost killed one of us.
565
00:29:32,034 --> 00:29:35,241
I seriously thought
I was about to
have to ditch my mask.
566
00:29:35,241 --> 00:29:38,275
I know it's super risky
to keep diving under
these pressure ridges,
567
00:29:38,275 --> 00:29:40,413
but gold mining
is supposed to be crazy.
568
00:29:41,758 --> 00:29:44,034
Words don't do it justice.
569
00:29:44,034 --> 00:29:46,620
Not really any way to
explain how
dramatic that is.
570
00:29:47,448 --> 00:29:49,448
There's a [bleep]
giant iceberg...
571
00:29:49,448 --> 00:29:51,620
and he's like,
actively lassoing,
572
00:29:51,620 --> 00:29:54,379
and he's like,
lassoing torture ice ball,
and it's [bleep]
573
00:29:54,379 --> 00:29:57,206
Jams your [bleep] tether
above... against the ceiling,
574
00:29:57,206 --> 00:30:00,379
and it's like, "Oh, no!"
[laughs]
575
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:02,517
[continues laughing]
576
00:30:05,206 --> 00:30:07,862
I replay a mask-off
and set it in my head
all the time,
577
00:30:07,862 --> 00:30:09,862
just because that's uh,
578
00:30:09,862 --> 00:30:12,413
pretty much
worst case scenario,
you know?
579
00:30:12,413 --> 00:30:15,172
[Zeke] The good news
is that the gold
is really good.
580
00:30:15,172 --> 00:30:16,965
I realize that
it may be crazy
581
00:30:16,965 --> 00:30:18,931
to keep diving under these
pressure ridges,
582
00:30:18,931 --> 00:30:21,275
but bring on the crazy.
583
00:30:21,275 --> 00:30:23,758
It was a good day,
I got a bunch of
hours in diving,
584
00:30:23,758 --> 00:30:24,965
I put a bunch of
gold in the box.
585
00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:27,551
[laughing]
586
00:30:28,862 --> 00:30:30,068
[Mike] Across the ice...
587
00:30:31,172 --> 00:30:32,275
[Shawn groans]
588
00:30:33,827 --> 00:30:36,758
Man, this is a
beautiful ground, Joe.
589
00:30:38,413 --> 00:30:39,551
She is, isn't she?
590
00:30:40,724 --> 00:30:41,724
[Shawn speaking]
591
00:30:43,344 --> 00:30:44,482
Aw!
592
00:30:44,482 --> 00:30:46,931
[Mike] Mr. Gold's efforts
to pull ahead of Chris McCully
593
00:30:46,931 --> 00:30:49,103
are currently on ice.
594
00:30:50,034 --> 00:30:51,758
This ground will
make us millionaires,
595
00:30:51,758 --> 00:30:53,724
if we just figure out
how to suck it up.
596
00:30:53,724 --> 00:30:54,551
[Shawn] Yup.
597
00:31:07,241 --> 00:31:08,551
Oh!
598
00:31:22,862 --> 00:31:24,310
I say, uh,
599
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:25,689
we know what's here.
600
00:31:25,689 --> 00:31:28,482
It's a frozen ground,
it ain't going nowhere.
601
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:35,896
10-4.
602
00:31:38,896 --> 00:31:40,103
[Shawn] Yes, sir.
603
00:31:42,103 --> 00:31:44,172
All right,
coming on up.
604
00:31:54,137 --> 00:31:55,482
[Joe speaking]
605
00:31:58,206 --> 00:31:59,758
[laughs] Yes sir, yes sir.
606
00:32:07,862 --> 00:32:09,344
I guess the
good news is-is
607
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:11,103
we got a great spot
to come to,
608
00:32:11,103 --> 00:32:13,137
after the thaw happens
in the summer.
609
00:32:13,137 --> 00:32:14,827
But, the bad news is,
610
00:32:14,827 --> 00:32:16,517
we're trying to hit
a 100 ounces,
611
00:32:16,517 --> 00:32:18,482
and get
in front of McCully,
612
00:32:18,482 --> 00:32:20,517
and we came up
completely empty.
613
00:32:20,517 --> 00:32:22,689
And the time's running out
on the season.
614
00:32:22,689 --> 00:32:23,965
It's not good.
615
00:32:23,965 --> 00:32:26,448
The pressure's gonna be on
big time the rest
of the way.
616
00:32:27,931 --> 00:32:29,517
Yeah, we're moving tomorrow.
617
00:32:29,517 --> 00:32:32,724
This ground is frozen,
we can't move it
fast enough.
618
00:32:35,862 --> 00:32:36,517
Yeah.
619
00:32:37,551 --> 00:32:39,034
Let's just keep moving.
620
00:32:40,068 --> 00:32:41,620
[Mike] As Shawn packs it in...
621
00:32:43,137 --> 00:32:45,172
[Chris] I got the parts
to fix it, for sure.
622
00:32:48,620 --> 00:32:51,931
Things get off-track
one in a while,
so I had to be out here,
623
00:32:53,068 --> 00:32:54,275
getting things
straightened up,
624
00:32:54,275 --> 00:32:56,034
making sure the operation
keeps running.
625
00:32:56,862 --> 00:32:58,344
[Mike] Back from town,
626
00:32:58,344 --> 00:33:01,344
Chris McCully's hoping
his late season push
627
00:33:01,344 --> 00:33:02,896
isn't about to get hosed.
628
00:33:02,896 --> 00:33:05,379
[Chris speaking]
629
00:33:05,379 --> 00:33:07,517
All right,
I got the sleeve
for this hose,
630
00:33:07,517 --> 00:33:09,655
so, hopefully,
we can get this thing
patched up,
631
00:33:09,655 --> 00:33:11,793
and we're on our way ASAP.
632
00:33:15,551 --> 00:33:18,517
I'm always the last person
to find out, you know?
633
00:33:26,655 --> 00:33:28,689
Someone [bleep] up,
and didn't wanna tell me,
634
00:33:28,689 --> 00:33:30,379
and then just
try to fix it.
635
00:33:31,448 --> 00:33:33,413
And then I find out later.
636
00:33:33,413 --> 00:33:35,586
So, it turns out
it wasn't just a leak,
637
00:33:35,586 --> 00:33:37,448
it's got cracks everywhere.
638
00:33:37,448 --> 00:33:40,482
Someone in the team
didn't tell me
and tried to hide it.
639
00:33:41,758 --> 00:33:42,827
Ah!
640
00:33:43,724 --> 00:33:45,344
So now,
I really gotta scramble.
641
00:33:46,275 --> 00:33:47,517
[grunts] There we go.
642
00:33:50,896 --> 00:33:53,620
It's like ripping up a,
a phone book.
643
00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:56,517
We're gonna splice it
in the middle,
that's the trick.
644
00:33:59,379 --> 00:34:00,517
Bend it over.
645
00:34:01,241 --> 00:34:03,275
Yeah, there we have it.
646
00:34:05,310 --> 00:34:06,551
Prime her up.
647
00:34:06,551 --> 00:34:07,862
[Dave] Let's see
how this thing goes.
648
00:34:10,793 --> 00:34:11,827
Go ahead.
649
00:34:11,827 --> 00:34:13,000
[engine starts]
650
00:34:15,862 --> 00:34:16,862
More.
651
00:34:16,862 --> 00:34:17,896
[engine accelerates]
652
00:34:23,413 --> 00:34:24,344
[Chris speaking]
653
00:34:25,689 --> 00:34:26,931
Wait, wait.
654
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:46,275
This hose is fried,
it's cracked
all over the place.
655
00:34:46,275 --> 00:34:48,517
So, I'm gonna have to
run back to town,
656
00:34:48,517 --> 00:34:50,034
and grab another section.
657
00:34:50,034 --> 00:34:51,413
We're done for the day,
658
00:34:51,413 --> 00:34:53,965
and that means no gold.
659
00:34:53,965 --> 00:34:56,310
I can't really think
of a worse outcome,
660
00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:58,034
especially this late
in the season.
661
00:34:58,931 --> 00:35:01,586
We gotta get
as much as we can get.
662
00:35:03,482 --> 00:35:06,137
I'm getting the sense,
the end is near.
663
00:35:10,689 --> 00:35:13,034
[man] And now,
another episode of
Social Hour with Vernon.
664
00:35:14,931 --> 00:35:16,655
[Vernon] All right.
665
00:35:16,655 --> 00:35:18,344
Let's see what's happening
out there on the internet.
666
00:35:19,965 --> 00:35:21,103
[slurps]
667
00:35:22,724 --> 00:35:25,724
[Vernon reading]
668
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:27,896
Everything in Nome
is expensive.
669
00:35:27,896 --> 00:35:30,931
Fuel is like,
50% higher than...
670
00:35:30,931 --> 00:35:33,103
Than it is in the
Lower 48.
671
00:35:33,103 --> 00:35:34,862
Food is off the charts.
672
00:35:34,862 --> 00:35:37,068
We're paying down
Manhattan prices,
673
00:35:37,068 --> 00:35:39,448
right here in this
little place of
Nome, Alaska.
674
00:35:40,655 --> 00:35:43,758
[Vernon reading]
675
00:35:44,448 --> 00:35:46,931
Well, I've got my eye on
676
00:35:46,931 --> 00:35:49,413
a, uh, little
bottom crawler.
677
00:35:49,413 --> 00:35:51,448
It's about a
$5 million project,
678
00:35:51,448 --> 00:35:55,758
and then I would
go out there and I would
ravage number 56.
679
00:35:55,758 --> 00:35:58,517
Which is what I do
with all my money anyway.
680
00:35:58,517 --> 00:36:01,482
I mean, what's to say
it would be different
if I won the lottery?
681
00:36:01,482 --> 00:36:04,275
- [man speaks indistinctly]
- I'd just buy
more equipment
682
00:36:04,275 --> 00:36:07,551
[man] This has been
another episode of
Social Hour with Vernon.
683
00:36:17,344 --> 00:36:19,068
[Nate] Gather it all in here.
684
00:36:19,068 --> 00:36:20,827
He's gotta clean up
the whole box again,
685
00:36:20,827 --> 00:36:23,275
and it's gonna take forever,
but there is some gold in it.
686
00:36:23,275 --> 00:36:26,000
[Mike] Zeke Tenhoff
is hoping he roped
in enough gold
687
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
to take some of
the pressure off.
688
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,965
I'm pleasantly surprised.
689
00:36:29,965 --> 00:36:31,758
[Zeke] Anytime you're
ice-diving,
690
00:36:31,758 --> 00:36:33,379
you're putting
your life on the line.
691
00:36:33,379 --> 00:36:35,413
But diving under
these big pressure ridges,
692
00:36:35,413 --> 00:36:36,758
I feel like I'm
putting my life
693
00:36:36,758 --> 00:36:38,655
a lot more on the line
than usual.
694
00:36:38,655 --> 00:36:40,793
Hopefully, the results
in this sluice box
695
00:36:40,793 --> 00:36:42,068
will prove that
it's worth it.
696
00:36:43,068 --> 00:36:44,482
[Nate] Oh, pretty.
697
00:36:45,241 --> 00:36:46,931
Pan it up,
see what we got.
698
00:36:46,931 --> 00:36:48,620
[laughter]
699
00:36:51,862 --> 00:36:53,068
[Zeke laughs]
700
00:36:54,586 --> 00:36:55,896
[Zeke] Come on,
get in there.
701
00:36:56,517 --> 00:36:58,310
We've hit the big one.
702
00:36:59,275 --> 00:37:01,275
- Right.
- [Nate] Up, up...
703
00:37:01,689 --> 00:37:02,965
1.3.
704
00:37:03,551 --> 00:37:04,931
Yeah, there we go.
705
00:37:06,655 --> 00:37:07,724
[Nate] 1.42.
706
00:37:07,724 --> 00:37:09,310
[Nate whistles]
707
00:37:10,586 --> 00:37:12,206
[Mike] 1.42 ounces,
708
00:37:12,206 --> 00:37:14,965
is worth about $2,700.
709
00:37:14,965 --> 00:37:16,724
Helping Zeke and the boys
710
00:37:16,724 --> 00:37:19,931
creep ever close
to 25 ounces.
711
00:37:19,931 --> 00:37:22,689
That's about what
is to be expected.
712
00:37:22,689 --> 00:37:26,896
1.4 ounces more gold,
which is almost $3,000
extra that we now have.
713
00:37:26,896 --> 00:37:28,344
- So, great.
- Sick.
714
00:37:28,344 --> 00:37:31,103
[both laughing]
715
00:37:31,103 --> 00:37:33,448
Honestly, I would like
to see a little bit more.
716
00:37:33,448 --> 00:37:36,586
These are not exactly
easy ounces that
we're getting.
717
00:37:36,586 --> 00:37:38,275
There's a lot of blood,
and sweat,
718
00:37:38,275 --> 00:37:40,448
and terrifying moments
along the way.
719
00:37:40,448 --> 00:37:42,655
But the good news is
that we're still on course
720
00:37:42,655 --> 00:37:45,586
to wind up to
where we wanna be
by the end of the season.
721
00:37:45,586 --> 00:37:47,000
I'm happy with
where we're at.
722
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,068
Dude, I think
the results that we had
723
00:37:49,068 --> 00:37:52,586
over the past,
like, three-four weeks,
are very repeatable.
724
00:37:52,586 --> 00:37:53,758
- Yeah.
- [blows whistle]
725
00:37:54,206 --> 00:37:55,000
We done.
726
00:37:59,551 --> 00:38:01,000
[Mike] Across the ice...
727
00:38:04,620 --> 00:38:07,413
[Jeff] Wash it good,
no leftover rocks.
728
00:38:07,413 --> 00:38:08,965
We're expecting
a different number
729
00:38:08,965 --> 00:38:10,827
than the last
couple of weeks now.
730
00:38:10,827 --> 00:38:13,517
[Mike] Diving has
concluded for the day.
731
00:38:13,517 --> 00:38:15,172
I think we're
seeing it already.
732
00:38:15,620 --> 00:38:17,310
Fingers crossed.
733
00:38:17,310 --> 00:38:19,655
[Mike] And on the frozen
Bering Sea,
734
00:38:19,655 --> 00:38:22,862
Captain Jane is returning
to tie up some loose ends.
735
00:38:29,689 --> 00:38:31,413
[Jane speaking]
736
00:38:32,896 --> 00:38:34,965
[Jeff] You know,
it's the end of the season.
737
00:38:35,551 --> 00:38:37,034
We don't have any gold.
738
00:38:38,068 --> 00:38:39,275
Tensions are high.
739
00:38:39,965 --> 00:38:41,137
I've calmed down.
740
00:38:41,931 --> 00:38:43,241
[laughs]
741
00:38:44,172 --> 00:38:46,689
It's been a rough season,
no gold,
742
00:38:46,689 --> 00:38:48,241
lots of breakdowns,
743
00:38:48,241 --> 00:38:49,724
we're at the
end of our ropes.
744
00:38:49,724 --> 00:38:52,034
I'm like,
over being disrespected,
745
00:38:52,034 --> 00:38:55,137
and it's been
a long time coming that
I stand up for myself.
746
00:38:55,137 --> 00:38:57,034
If we're gonna salvage
any of this season,
747
00:38:57,034 --> 00:38:58,724
it's not gonna be
fighting each other.
748
00:38:58,724 --> 00:38:59,758
Hey, bring it in.
749
00:38:59,758 --> 00:39:00,862
- Oh, bring it in.
- Bring, bring it in.
750
00:39:02,310 --> 00:39:04,724
- [Eddie speaks indistinctly]
- Yeah.
751
00:39:04,724 --> 00:39:06,000
[Jane] Uh, the box
looks good,
752
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,103
I thought you guys
had a good dive.
753
00:39:07,103 --> 00:39:08,448
[Jeff speaking]
754
00:39:10,137 --> 00:39:12,172
If we get to see gold,
it'll boost our morale.
755
00:39:13,482 --> 00:39:14,379
[Kate] Oh, well.
756
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,068
[Jane] Mmm-hmm.
757
00:39:16,068 --> 00:39:18,896
Okay, let's put
all the bad behind us,
758
00:39:18,896 --> 00:39:20,344
and let's get
some freaking gold.
759
00:39:21,620 --> 00:39:23,241
Most of the gold
is in this.
760
00:39:24,241 --> 00:39:25,862
Like, black sand.
761
00:39:25,862 --> 00:39:28,448
Most of it's gonna
get trapped
in the first one.
762
00:39:28,448 --> 00:39:30,620
I'm already...
Oh, yeah,
can you see it, Kate?
763
00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:32,724
[Kate] Oh, I see it!
764
00:39:32,724 --> 00:39:34,724
- [Kate] Good spot.
- [Jane] I know.
765
00:39:34,724 --> 00:39:36,275
- Definitely a good spot.
- [Kate speaking]
766
00:39:37,068 --> 00:39:38,206
[Eddie speaking]
767
00:39:41,724 --> 00:39:42,655
[Jane] Moment of truth.
768
00:39:42,655 --> 00:39:44,000
[Jeff] Bum-bum-bum.
769
00:39:45,758 --> 00:39:46,862
[Jane] Yeah!
770
00:39:48,793 --> 00:39:50,413
One three five.
771
00:39:53,551 --> 00:39:54,620
- [indistinct]
- [Kate] It's not going up.
772
00:39:54,620 --> 00:39:56,344
- Oh!
- [Jane whoops]
773
00:39:56,689 --> 00:39:57,689
4.3.
774
00:39:58,241 --> 00:39:59,344
Which is good.
775
00:39:59,344 --> 00:40:02,655
[Mike] 4.3 ounces
is worth over $8,000.
776
00:40:02,655 --> 00:40:05,310
And while,
not breaking the bank,
777
00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:07,758
it's easily the best clean out
out of the season,
778
00:40:07,758 --> 00:40:09,379
for Team Riedel.
779
00:40:09,379 --> 00:40:11,310
We got the band
back together
and had a really good day.
780
00:40:11,310 --> 00:40:13,103
- Had a good set, guys,
good set.
- Yeah.
781
00:40:13,103 --> 00:40:14,551
It's been a rocky road,
782
00:40:14,551 --> 00:40:16,655
but now we're all
gonna be on the same page.
783
00:40:16,655 --> 00:40:18,103
The gold is
starting to come in.
784
00:40:18,965 --> 00:40:20,689
And we have
really good mojo.
785
00:40:20,689 --> 00:40:22,241
So, let's finish strong.
786
00:40:22,241 --> 00:40:23,931
- It was a great day, and...
- Awesome.
787
00:40:23,931 --> 00:40:25,724
- Tomorrow's gonna be
a good day and--
- Encore!
788
00:40:25,724 --> 00:40:27,448
- Tomorrow's gonna be
even better.
- Oh, yeah.
789
00:40:28,551 --> 00:40:29,586
[Eddie] It was
a great dive.
790
00:40:29,586 --> 00:40:30,413
[Jane] Awesome.
791
00:40:32,862 --> 00:40:35,275
[Mike] The front-runners
both stall out.
792
00:40:36,896 --> 00:40:38,758
While Team Emily and Zeke
793
00:40:38,758 --> 00:40:40,000
shake up the board.
794
00:40:41,586 --> 00:40:44,068
Next time,
on Bering Sea Gold...
795
00:40:44,068 --> 00:40:45,103
[Vernon speaking]
796
00:40:48,206 --> 00:40:50,896
We gotta find some gold,
and we gotta
get on it now.
797
00:40:50,896 --> 00:40:51,931
It's time to
go to work.
798
00:40:51,931 --> 00:40:52,827
[Kate whooping]
799
00:40:53,482 --> 00:40:55,344
Good to go!
800
00:40:55,344 --> 00:40:57,517
[Jeff] You're just
one lazy [bleep]
801
00:40:57,517 --> 00:40:59,000
You need to do that...
[bleep] yourself.
802
00:41:01,103 --> 00:41:02,275
- [bleep]
- Damn it!
803
00:41:02,275 --> 00:41:04,551
Hit the pipe underneath.
804
00:41:04,551 --> 00:41:05,931
Get in the water.
805
00:41:06,413 --> 00:41:07,655
Get wet.
806
00:41:07,655 --> 00:41:09,000
[man] Get your hose.
807
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,724
I'm about ready
to pass out.
808
00:41:10,724 --> 00:41:12,379
Whoa, yeah!
809
00:41:12,689 --> 00:41:14,206
Hi!
810
00:41:14,206 --> 00:41:15,827
He's loving it
down there.
811
00:41:15,827 --> 00:41:18,000
Gold. Let it rain.
812
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,862
[cell phone ringing]
813
00:41:19,862 --> 00:41:21,655
Oh, oh my gosh,
Emily's in labor!
814
00:41:23,793 --> 00:41:24,931
[Mike] Come on, baby.
