1
00:00:03,206 --> 00:00:05,413
[narrator]
It's a confrontation
that's been brewing
2
00:00:05,413 --> 00:00:07,517
all season long.
3
00:00:07,517 --> 00:00:11,413
A duel between
the brash newcomer
and the mining titan.
4
00:00:13,275 --> 00:00:15,103
[Chris McCully speaking]
5
00:00:15,103 --> 00:00:16,862
[Shawn Pomrenke]
We got McCully moving in.
6
00:00:16,862 --> 00:00:20,241
[narrator] Two mining soldiers
on the frozen battlefield
7
00:00:20,241 --> 00:00:22,517
on a quest for supremacy.
8
00:00:22,517 --> 00:00:24,586
- [both laugh]
- Get it, John.
9
00:00:24,586 --> 00:00:26,724
I put a lot of gold
in the box.
10
00:00:27,310 --> 00:00:28,275
Heck yeah.
11
00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:30,655
Right now we're going
to Wall Street.
12
00:00:30,655 --> 00:00:31,689
[Chris speaking]
13
00:00:32,655 --> 00:00:35,172
- Whoo!
- [man] No gold.
14
00:00:36,517 --> 00:00:38,000
That dive was a big win.
15
00:00:38,551 --> 00:00:39,655
Killing it.
16
00:00:39,655 --> 00:00:40,586
[Chris speaking]
17
00:00:42,241 --> 00:00:45,896
[narrator] Now
it's time for the final duel.
18
00:00:45,896 --> 00:00:47,586
[Chris] I'm gonna prove
that I'm untouchable.
19
00:00:47,586 --> 00:00:50,137
[narrator] As they take
their last paces...
20
00:00:50,137 --> 00:00:52,241
[Shawn] I really got
to push to stay ahead.
21
00:00:52,241 --> 00:00:55,068
- [narrator] Aim.
- [Chris] There's a new
force in town.
22
00:00:55,068 --> 00:00:56,034
[narrator] And fire.
23
00:01:04,827 --> 00:01:08,068
It's been a grueling
10 weeks on the ice.
24
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:13,689
But now, a storm looms
less than 24 hours away
from landfall,
25
00:01:13,689 --> 00:01:17,206
bringing with it
high temperatures
and rain
26
00:01:17,206 --> 00:01:19,931
that'll put an immediate
end to ice mining.
27
00:01:21,241 --> 00:01:25,103
So today is the fleet's
last chance for gold
28
00:01:25,103 --> 00:01:28,448
before their dreams
melt to the bottom of the sea.
29
00:01:37,241 --> 00:01:39,137
[Shawn] Last day
of ice mining.
30
00:01:41,137 --> 00:01:42,965
Get a couple of dives in.
31
00:01:43,758 --> 00:01:45,793
We're struggling, struggling,
32
00:01:46,758 --> 00:01:51,275
and this last week
we've been kicking ass.
33
00:01:51,275 --> 00:01:52,413
[narrator] After rolling
the dice
34
00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:55,724
and stumbling on the east
tract close to town...
35
00:01:55,724 --> 00:01:58,448
[Shawn] Thought this
was going to turn out
to be a good spot.
36
00:01:58,448 --> 00:02:00,551
But no gold.
37
00:02:00,551 --> 00:02:03,448
[narrator] ...Shawn Pomrenke
returned to his trusted ground
38
00:02:03,448 --> 00:02:06,724
on Tomcod, and reaped
the benefits.
39
00:02:06,724 --> 00:02:09,655
[man]
I haven't seen puddles
like this since Bluff.
40
00:02:09,655 --> 00:02:12,655
- Boo-yah!
- Whoa!
41
00:02:12,655 --> 00:02:17,586
[narrator] But will it be
enough to retake the top spot
in the gold count?
42
00:02:17,586 --> 00:02:20,896
[Shawn] I was a little worried
that we weren't going
to make [bleep] this winter.
43
00:02:22,827 --> 00:02:25,517
But one week, we make up
for the whole winter.
44
00:02:27,206 --> 00:02:30,275
There's no question.
Today's the last day
we can mine.
45
00:02:30,275 --> 00:02:32,793
That storm's going
to blow in late tonight
46
00:02:32,793 --> 00:02:34,689
and that ice is never
going to survive.
47
00:02:34,689 --> 00:02:37,724
This is our last chance
to hit the 100 ounce goal,
48
00:02:37,724 --> 00:02:40,827
and to make sure
that nobody ends up
with more gold than us
49
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,206
at the end of the season,
50
00:02:42,206 --> 00:02:44,000
including Chris McCully.
51
00:02:45,310 --> 00:02:46,310
'Sup, Joe?
52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,620
[Joe] Hoo-boy!
53
00:02:50,344 --> 00:02:53,034
Pretty rich gold this way.
It's really rich.
54
00:02:53,034 --> 00:02:55,103
We're on
an unbelievable pay streak.
55
00:02:55,103 --> 00:02:58,137
We followed it down
just a little bit north.
56
00:02:58,137 --> 00:03:01,793
If it's anything like
that last hole, we're gonna
be bathing in gold.
57
00:03:01,793 --> 00:03:04,931
Joe's gonna go down first,
then I'm gonna do down
and clean up.
58
00:03:04,931 --> 00:03:06,413
It's go time.
59
00:03:08,517 --> 00:03:10,172
Yeah, let's get her, Joe.
60
00:03:12,655 --> 00:03:13,655
Yeah!
61
00:03:28,379 --> 00:03:29,344
[Joe speaking]
62
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:36,827
Hopefully he can
get onto something.
63
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:39,965
[Shawn]
How's that looking down there?
64
00:03:40,965 --> 00:03:41,965
[Joe speaking]
65
00:03:48,758 --> 00:03:50,103
[Shawn] Yeah, that's not good.
66
00:03:50,103 --> 00:03:51,827
All beat up down there?
67
00:03:51,827 --> 00:03:52,862
[Joe speaking]
68
00:04:01,793 --> 00:04:03,206
[Shawn]
Found a marker buoy?
69
00:04:03,206 --> 00:04:04,482
[Joe] Yeah.
70
00:04:04,482 --> 00:04:05,551
[Shawn]
Well, that sucks.
71
00:04:06,724 --> 00:04:07,724
[Joe speaking]
72
00:04:32,068 --> 00:04:33,034
Frustrating.
73
00:04:35,379 --> 00:04:36,379
[Shawn speaking]
74
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:42,275
[Joe speaking]
75
00:04:47,793 --> 00:04:51,068
Hoping to be diving
all day the last day.
76
00:04:51,068 --> 00:04:54,586
Instead we're going
to be digging holes
and moving again.
77
00:04:55,758 --> 00:04:57,000
[bleep] tired of it.
78
00:04:57,551 --> 00:04:59,034
Nothing.
79
00:04:59,034 --> 00:05:00,793
Might be our worst hole
all winter.
80
00:05:03,827 --> 00:05:07,034
From one of the best holes
to one of the worst holes,
just like that.
81
00:05:08,517 --> 00:05:12,379
This hole's a dud.
So even though we're down
to just a few hours,
82
00:05:12,379 --> 00:05:14,689
we're gonna move,
dig a new hole,
83
00:05:14,689 --> 00:05:15,862
and give it another shot.
84
00:05:16,586 --> 00:05:18,379
This is absolutely brutal.
85
00:05:18,379 --> 00:05:21,965
I'd rather be on the bottom
sucking up gold
than be up here
86
00:05:21,965 --> 00:05:24,482
digging around
in the [bleep] ice.
87
00:05:26,344 --> 00:05:27,965
[narrator] While Shawn's
coming up empty...
88
00:05:30,206 --> 00:05:32,310
[Chris] Gotta move swiftly.
89
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:34,275
Ain't no[bleep]
around today.
90
00:05:34,275 --> 00:05:37,551
[narrator] Chris McCully
started out hot this season.
91
00:05:37,551 --> 00:05:38,586
[whistles]
92
00:05:40,931 --> 00:05:42,310
[narrator] And has never
looked back.
93
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:43,482
[Chris] We're ahead of
the game.
94
00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:46,689
[narrator] And now
in the final hours,
95
00:05:46,689 --> 00:05:49,551
he's trying to nab
winter's top spot.
96
00:05:49,551 --> 00:05:52,862
Trying to get two dives today.
That's the main goal.
97
00:05:52,862 --> 00:05:54,896
Here we are.
The final lap.
98
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:57,034
This season's all about
getting 100 ounces
99
00:05:57,034 --> 00:05:58,620
and getting more
gold than ever.
100
00:05:59,551 --> 00:06:01,620
We're on some
real hot ground.
101
00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:03,034
So if we kill it today,
102
00:06:03,034 --> 00:06:06,172
I think would have
enough gold to be the top
dog of this season.
103
00:06:07,586 --> 00:06:08,586
[man speaking]
104
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:11,068
[Chris speaking]
105
00:06:15,172 --> 00:06:16,448
We're on Wall Street.
106
00:06:16,448 --> 00:06:17,931
Amazing ground.
107
00:06:17,931 --> 00:06:22,655
John's going to go down
there first and sweep up
that sweet pastry.
108
00:06:22,655 --> 00:06:27,103
When John is done diving
then I'll be the closer
and I'll load up the account.
109
00:06:27,103 --> 00:06:29,206
It all comes down
to the next few hours.
110
00:06:29,206 --> 00:06:30,827
[John speaking]
111
00:06:30,827 --> 00:06:32,517
[Chris] Whoop-whoop! Yeah.
112
00:06:33,137 --> 00:06:34,517
[John speaking]
113
00:06:41,724 --> 00:06:42,724
[Chris speaking]
114
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:44,827
[John speaking]
115
00:06:45,758 --> 00:06:46,758
[Chris speaking]
116
00:06:50,586 --> 00:06:51,551
[John]
All right, Chris.
117
00:06:54,172 --> 00:06:55,137
[Chris] Aight.
118
00:06:56,034 --> 00:06:57,000
[motor humming]
119
00:06:58,275 --> 00:06:59,241
[Chris] Idle up.
120
00:07:03,413 --> 00:07:04,413
[John speaking]
121
00:07:05,620 --> 00:07:06,620
[Chris speaking]
122
00:07:09,862 --> 00:07:10,862
[John speaking]
123
00:07:18,379 --> 00:07:20,310
Oh, yeah? Right on, dude.
124
00:07:21,344 --> 00:07:22,310
[John speaking]
125
00:07:23,413 --> 00:07:24,758
[Chris] Woo-hoo!
126
00:07:24,758 --> 00:07:27,448
Ha, dude, I like that.
I like that, dude.
127
00:07:29,103 --> 00:07:30,068
[John speaking]
128
00:07:32,758 --> 00:07:33,758
[Chris speaking]
129
00:07:35,586 --> 00:07:38,103
We're on the gold again
so I'm happy.
130
00:07:38,103 --> 00:07:39,689
It's all gonna be
good from here.
131
00:07:40,655 --> 00:07:41,655
[John speaking]
132
00:07:46,482 --> 00:07:47,482
[Chris speaking]
133
00:07:48,448 --> 00:07:49,448
[John speaking]
134
00:08:04,965 --> 00:08:06,724
What up, what up?
135
00:08:08,413 --> 00:08:09,413
[John speaking]
136
00:08:10,275 --> 00:08:11,517
[Chris speaking]
137
00:08:13,206 --> 00:08:14,172
[John speaking]
138
00:08:17,551 --> 00:08:18,551
[Chris speaking]
139
00:08:24,862 --> 00:08:25,862
[John speaking]
140
00:08:29,172 --> 00:08:30,586
[Chris]
Okay, let me go
and do that real quick.
141
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,586
Idle down and up three times.
142
00:08:34,379 --> 00:08:35,379
Three times.
143
00:08:37,758 --> 00:08:38,758
[engine revs]
144
00:08:40,172 --> 00:08:41,137
Yeah, do that again.
145
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,241
[engine dies]
146
00:08:44,241 --> 00:08:46,724
The best way to get
a rock jam out
147
00:08:46,724 --> 00:08:50,551
is you shut off the pump
and then you fire
back up again.
148
00:08:50,551 --> 00:08:51,586
[engine revs]
149
00:08:53,413 --> 00:08:57,413
[Chris] The force of the water
coming back online
will kick the rocks out.
150
00:08:57,413 --> 00:09:01,413
We're gonna do this
three times and hopefully
we can get that rock jam out
151
00:09:01,413 --> 00:09:03,551
so we can get back
on the gold.
152
00:09:03,551 --> 00:09:05,517
And we got to do it quick.
153
00:09:05,517 --> 00:09:08,275
Especially on our last day.
We got no time to waste.
154
00:09:09,137 --> 00:09:10,620
Come on, come on!
155
00:09:11,172 --> 00:09:12,137
[engine revs]
156
00:09:16,517 --> 00:09:17,620
[John speaking]
157
00:09:18,655 --> 00:09:19,655
[Chris speaking]
158
00:09:25,103 --> 00:09:26,068
[John speaking]
159
00:09:32,827 --> 00:09:34,862
Okay. Oh no.
160
00:09:35,482 --> 00:09:36,482
John's coming up.
161
00:09:37,137 --> 00:09:38,241
Idle down.
162
00:09:38,241 --> 00:09:39,241
[engine dies]
163
00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:43,034
Coming up.
164
00:09:43,034 --> 00:09:44,344
That was a bust.
165
00:09:44,344 --> 00:09:47,758
We have to pull the diver up
and the hose.
166
00:09:47,758 --> 00:09:51,482
We basically have
to find that rock
and clear it ourselves.
167
00:09:53,103 --> 00:09:54,068
[John speaking]
168
00:09:56,689 --> 00:09:57,689
[Chris speaking]
169
00:10:00,793 --> 00:10:01,793
[Chris speaking]
170
00:10:08,448 --> 00:10:11,448
[narrator] A season
ending storm is just
a day away from Nome,
171
00:10:12,965 --> 00:10:14,172
and out on the ice...
172
00:10:20,655 --> 00:10:23,689
Well, it's 30 degrees.
Tomorrow it'll be 40 degrees.
173
00:10:24,931 --> 00:10:26,379
It's the end.
174
00:10:26,379 --> 00:10:27,965
[narrator] After a season
of setback...
175
00:10:28,793 --> 00:10:29,931
[exclaims]
176
00:10:29,931 --> 00:10:31,758
I'm not getting into
the water today.
177
00:10:31,758 --> 00:10:32,965
[narrator] ...after setback...
178
00:10:34,482 --> 00:10:37,275
The hose broke right off.
179
00:10:37,275 --> 00:10:40,827
[narrator] ...Kris Kelly
and his revolutionary
sea crawler
180
00:10:40,827 --> 00:10:42,862
are crawling
to the finish line.
181
00:10:42,862 --> 00:10:45,275
Ah, the plan right now is...
182
00:10:45,931 --> 00:10:47,413
Finish out this hole.
183
00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:50,000
A big storm is coming
and it's going
to start raining.
184
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,137
So it's almost time
for e to get the hell
out of here.
185
00:10:52,689 --> 00:10:53,689
Let's get going.
186
00:10:55,724 --> 00:10:57,206
I hope we get a lot of gold.
187
00:10:57,206 --> 00:11:00,103
Shazam, gold. Wow, Kris,
gold, congratulations.
188
00:11:00,103 --> 00:11:02,172
You made the crawler
work gold.
189
00:11:02,172 --> 00:11:05,793
[Kelly] When I started
this season, I envisioned
a record setting winter
190
00:11:05,793 --> 00:11:07,689
using for crawler
for Reaper Nation.
191
00:11:07,689 --> 00:11:10,137
We were aiming for 75 ounces.
192
00:11:10,137 --> 00:11:12,896
Well, that fairy tale when
out the window long ago.
193
00:11:12,896 --> 00:11:15,379
We've got no gold
so far, nothing.
194
00:11:15,379 --> 00:11:18,310
My goal at this point
is to prove this baby works.
195
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:20,724
So I'm ready to hit the ground
running this summer.
196
00:11:20,724 --> 00:11:23,482
And I'd say 20 ounces
would be that proof.
197
00:11:23,482 --> 00:11:27,034
Okay, we're almost
ready to put the crawler
in the water.
198
00:11:28,586 --> 00:11:31,965
The operation looks good.
We're gonna go down there,
we're gonna kill it.
199
00:11:31,965 --> 00:11:36,241
This is it. The last day.
I need the crawler
to run flawlessly.
200
00:11:36,241 --> 00:11:39,551
Something that
honestly has never been
close to happening.
201
00:11:39,551 --> 00:11:41,827
Okay, we're ready to go.
Let's get into position.
202
00:11:47,758 --> 00:11:51,931
So the plan today
is we rip it around,
do the south side,
203
00:11:51,931 --> 00:11:54,275
try to start over here
and work around.
204
00:12:03,827 --> 00:12:06,206
Everything's good.
205
00:12:06,206 --> 00:12:09,379
Pumps are running.
Everything's going good,
now it's just time to do work.
206
00:12:10,862 --> 00:12:12,551
[Kris] Okay, I don't want
to jinx anything,
207
00:12:12,551 --> 00:12:14,379
but the crawler's
working great,
208
00:12:14,379 --> 00:12:17,137
and Andy is maneuvering
the thing great.
209
00:12:17,137 --> 00:12:20,241
His attitude isn't terrible
which is pretty unheard of.
210
00:12:20,241 --> 00:12:21,448
Already got gold in the box.
211
00:12:22,758 --> 00:12:25,275
If it keeps going this way,
all day, we're golden.
212
00:12:27,379 --> 00:12:29,896
Hey, you see? Look at that.
It takes everything, dude.
213
00:12:32,758 --> 00:12:33,758
[Kris] I'm gonna do well.
214
00:12:34,517 --> 00:12:35,482
I'm gonna do real well.
215
00:12:45,344 --> 00:12:47,551
Hear that sound?
That's money.
216
00:12:49,758 --> 00:12:51,551
Rocks through the box.
217
00:12:51,551 --> 00:12:54,758
The only way you make gold
is put rocks through the box.
218
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,068
Everything's good.
Everything is good.
219
00:13:03,068 --> 00:13:05,896
[narrator] While Kris'
last day could be his best,
220
00:13:07,413 --> 00:13:09,275
just across the ice...
221
00:13:09,275 --> 00:13:13,068
If this is my last dive,
I'm totally... I'm content.
222
00:13:13,068 --> 00:13:17,000
[narrator] It's been a winter
of near death experiences
for Zeke and his crew.
223
00:13:18,137 --> 00:13:20,000
- [Zeke speaking]
- [man] What was that?
224
00:13:20,758 --> 00:13:21,793
[Zeke speaking]
225
00:13:25,827 --> 00:13:28,517
[narrator] But the risk
may have been worth
the reward,
226
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:31,551
as the team is within
striking distance
of their goal
227
00:13:31,551 --> 00:13:33,793
on the last day of the season.
228
00:13:33,793 --> 00:13:36,068
Uh, can you guys turn
my hot water up a little?
229
00:13:36,068 --> 00:13:37,241
Yeah, up a bit.
230
00:13:39,034 --> 00:13:40,586
It's been an all right season.
231
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:42,517
I feel somewhat redeemed.
232
00:13:42,517 --> 00:13:46,034
Despite diving under
these pressure ridges,
which has been super dicey,
233
00:13:46,034 --> 00:13:48,620
we're just shy
of our 25 ounce goal,
234
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:51,448
and I want us to finish
as strong as we can.
235
00:13:51,448 --> 00:13:54,206
Since its our last day,
if we get on gold,
236
00:13:54,206 --> 00:13:56,413
I wanna keep as many
divers down as possible.
237
00:13:57,310 --> 00:13:59,034
Hell, let's make it
a diving marathon.
238
00:14:00,689 --> 00:14:01,689
[Zeke speaking]
239
00:14:10,137 --> 00:14:11,103
[Zeke speaking]
240
00:14:13,551 --> 00:14:14,551
[grunts]
241
00:14:25,724 --> 00:14:26,724
That's what he said.
242
00:14:29,586 --> 00:14:30,586
[Zeke speaking]
243
00:14:36,586 --> 00:14:37,965
Wow, it's real nice down here.
244
00:14:46,586 --> 00:14:47,689
Right, I'm on the bottom.
245
00:14:55,413 --> 00:14:56,413
And, uh...
246
00:15:04,965 --> 00:15:05,965
Pump action!
247
00:15:11,275 --> 00:15:12,241
[Zeke speaking]
248
00:15:15,586 --> 00:15:17,103
What's it like down there?
249
00:15:17,103 --> 00:15:18,103
[Zeke speaking]
250
00:15:30,241 --> 00:15:33,551
Well, maybe it's just hiding
from us and it's still
somewhere down here.
251
00:15:33,551 --> 00:15:35,000
We can hope for the best.
252
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
[Zeke speaking]
253
00:16:08,206 --> 00:16:09,931
Hell, yeah.
That's good to hear.
254
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:11,620
That sounds awesome.
255
00:16:12,965 --> 00:16:13,965
[Zeke speaking]
256
00:16:25,206 --> 00:16:26,172
Yeah!
257
00:16:27,655 --> 00:16:28,793
[Zeke] Yeah, that's awesome.
258
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:32,172
It ain't over 'til
the fat lady sings.
259
00:16:32,793 --> 00:16:33,793
[operatic vocalizing]
260
00:16:36,344 --> 00:16:37,655
[narrator]
Twelve miles east...
261
00:16:44,068 --> 00:16:46,896
[Vernon] All right.
We're running out of time.
262
00:16:48,344 --> 00:16:50,172
This will be our last hole.
263
00:16:50,172 --> 00:16:51,517
[narrator]
For Vernon Adkinson,
264
00:16:51,517 --> 00:16:55,448
it's been a series
of challenges
above the ice...
265
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:57,275
I had an attack Sunday night.
266
00:16:58,172 --> 00:17:00,206
They operated on me Monday.
267
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,137
[Vernon speaking]
268
00:17:02,137 --> 00:17:03,344
[narrator]
...as well as below.
269
00:17:04,620 --> 00:17:08,000
- [man panicking]
- Come on, get him up!
Get him up!
270
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,758
[narrator] And it's kept
the surly captain
far from his season goal.
271
00:17:12,517 --> 00:17:14,034
[Vernon] Onward and upward.
272
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:16,586
This season went to hell
in a handbasket.
273
00:17:16,586 --> 00:17:19,413
Started out shooting
for 200 ounces.
274
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:21,413
We'll be lucky is we get 20.
275
00:17:21,413 --> 00:17:24,862
That said, I'll be rolling
in my grave before I quit.
276
00:17:24,862 --> 00:17:27,103
As long as there's still
time to get gold
277
00:17:27,103 --> 00:17:30,068
and get something
decent for the season,
I'm going for it.
278
00:17:31,448 --> 00:17:32,724
We got a battle plan.
279
00:17:32,724 --> 00:17:35,551
Get two guys in the water
as soon as possible.
280
00:17:35,551 --> 00:17:37,896
Start out with one
and work into it.
281
00:17:37,896 --> 00:17:40,034
Take this one last stab at it.
282
00:17:40,034 --> 00:17:43,137
Put some gold in the box
and just hammer it.
283
00:17:43,137 --> 00:17:44,827
Not to sound like
a broken record,
284
00:17:44,827 --> 00:17:48,482
but today I'm going
to try to get two divers
down at once
285
00:17:48,482 --> 00:17:50,862
and be successful
at it, damnit.
286
00:17:50,862 --> 00:17:53,517
Luckily, I think we have
the kinks worked out.
287
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:56,655
Keep bleeding it right there.
288
00:17:56,655 --> 00:17:58,655
Until we get
the temperature right.
289
00:17:58,655 --> 00:18:00,206
And we're on a new spot.
290
00:18:00,206 --> 00:18:03,793
This one is near
our super gold spot
from last summer.
291
00:18:03,793 --> 00:18:05,275
And it better be super.
292
00:18:06,551 --> 00:18:09,000
Because this is our last
bite out of the apple.
293
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:13,034
I feel really good right now
about this hole.
294
00:18:13,034 --> 00:18:16,862
About closing the season off
and putting some
weight in the box.
295
00:18:16,862 --> 00:18:19,896
Wish we could've done this
two months ago,
but it's never too late.
296
00:18:24,827 --> 00:18:27,172
- Test, test.
- [Larry speaking]
297
00:18:29,724 --> 00:18:30,724
[Vernon] Okay.
298
00:18:37,103 --> 00:18:39,137
Larry, how you
doing down there?
299
00:18:39,137 --> 00:18:40,137
[Larry speaking]
300
00:18:41,275 --> 00:18:42,241
[Vernon] Roger, roger.
301
00:18:45,379 --> 00:18:46,379
[Larry speaking]
302
00:18:47,931 --> 00:18:49,827
[Vernon] Okay,
I'll set this temperature.
303
00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:55,275
[Larry speaking]
304
00:19:11,310 --> 00:19:14,172
All right, that's what
I'm talking about.
Good show.
305
00:19:14,172 --> 00:19:15,275
[Vernon speaking]
306
00:19:16,379 --> 00:19:17,344
[Larry] Whoo!
307
00:19:19,034 --> 00:19:21,448
He's on the gold.
He's pretty excited about it.
308
00:19:21,448 --> 00:19:25,103
He's got good air,
got good hot water,
camera's working.
309
00:19:26,275 --> 00:19:27,758
All systems are go.
310
00:19:27,758 --> 00:19:29,827
That's what we need
to finish with a bang here.
311
00:19:30,344 --> 00:19:31,586
So, Larry...
312
00:19:33,655 --> 00:19:36,862
He's getting suited up now.
313
00:19:36,862 --> 00:19:39,344
It's a good feeling
to finally be on the ice.
314
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:40,517
Getting the gold.
315
00:19:41,620 --> 00:19:42,620
[Scott speaking]
316
00:19:47,275 --> 00:19:49,275
- Huh?
- [Scott speaking]
317
00:19:52,137 --> 00:19:53,275
[Vernon speaking]
318
00:20:01,896 --> 00:20:03,241
[Vernon]
Scott's harness is cut.
319
00:20:07,517 --> 00:20:10,000
That's weird, Scott.
I don't know
how that happened, buddy.
320
00:20:10,689 --> 00:20:11,689
[Scott speaking]
321
00:20:17,310 --> 00:20:20,482
I think I cut a little bit
of tap when I was
doctoring on
322
00:20:20,482 --> 00:20:22,379
that thing right there.
323
00:20:23,896 --> 00:20:25,517
[Vernon]
This is a total cluster.
324
00:20:25,517 --> 00:20:27,931
Scott's harness straps
are cut.
325
00:20:27,931 --> 00:20:31,000
The harness holds
the umbilical and the weight
belt in place.
326
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,862
It's impossible to drive
without it, it's just a no-go.
327
00:20:34,862 --> 00:20:35,896
How does that happen?
328
00:20:36,482 --> 00:20:37,931
I have no clue.
329
00:20:37,931 --> 00:20:41,862
All I know, it's the last day
and I'm already
down to one diver.
330
00:20:43,586 --> 00:20:44,586
[bleep]
331
00:20:48,620 --> 00:20:49,620
[Vernon speaking]
332
00:20:53,241 --> 00:20:55,586
It kinda put him
out of the ballgame.
333
00:20:56,379 --> 00:20:58,172
[Larry speaking]
334
00:20:58,172 --> 00:21:01,482
Right now, we're back
down to just Larry diving.
335
00:21:01,482 --> 00:21:03,413
I got another harness.
336
00:21:03,413 --> 00:21:05,310
I think it's going
to be too big for Scott.
337
00:21:05,310 --> 00:21:06,655
Might have a talk
to him about it.
338
00:21:06,655 --> 00:21:09,000
- He's not much in a mood
to talk right now.
- [Scott speaking]
339
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,724
He's kind of pissed off.
340
00:21:10,724 --> 00:21:13,793
So, um... don't blame him.
341
00:21:13,793 --> 00:21:15,862
- Uh...
- [Scott speaking]
342
00:21:18,689 --> 00:21:19,689
Yeah.
343
00:21:21,275 --> 00:21:22,275
[bleep]
344
00:21:23,931 --> 00:21:24,931
[Vernon speaking]
345
00:21:27,206 --> 00:21:28,172
It's costing us.
346
00:21:41,448 --> 00:21:42,448
[man speaking]
347
00:21:45,344 --> 00:21:46,965
[narrator] The last day
of the season could be
348
00:21:46,965 --> 00:21:49,344
a road to redemption
for the Riedel team.
349
00:21:52,482 --> 00:21:53,517
Oh, we working today.
350
00:21:54,172 --> 00:21:55,310
Whoo!
351
00:21:55,310 --> 00:21:56,275
[Jane Kilcher] Finish strong.
352
00:21:57,482 --> 00:21:59,137
This season's been a hot mess.
353
00:21:59,137 --> 00:22:01,310
A lot of sniping and fighting.
354
00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:04,758
[man] I have an issue with you
because you don't know
what the [bleep] is going on.
355
00:22:04,758 --> 00:22:05,965
I don't say that I do.
356
00:22:07,068 --> 00:22:08,551
And things breaking down.
357
00:22:08,551 --> 00:22:09,586
[man speaking]
358
00:22:14,103 --> 00:22:15,724
And not finding any gold.
359
00:22:16,448 --> 00:22:17,931
[man] 0.66.
360
00:22:17,931 --> 00:22:19,413
Yeah, we at least
did something.
361
00:22:22,206 --> 00:22:24,931
I feel like we just finally
found our groove
and it's just in time.
362
00:22:25,620 --> 00:22:26,724
Aww.
363
00:22:26,724 --> 00:22:28,137
Oh, my goodness.
364
00:22:28,137 --> 00:22:29,827
So precious.
365
00:22:29,827 --> 00:22:32,586
Now that Emily's a mom,
the five ounces that we made
366
00:22:32,586 --> 00:22:36,655
is not going to keep
that cute little baby
in diapers for long.
367
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:39,310
And then their daughter
is just going to [bleep]
on the floor.
368
00:22:39,310 --> 00:22:41,172
'Cause there's no money
for her diapers.
369
00:22:44,793 --> 00:22:48,068
The plan is to pull off
a double dive today
with Jeff and Eddie
370
00:22:48,068 --> 00:22:50,758
which sounds like
a pipe dream for us.
371
00:22:50,758 --> 00:22:52,724
But we need as much
gold as possible.
372
00:22:52,724 --> 00:22:54,724
Or I've totally
let Emily down.
373
00:22:55,448 --> 00:22:56,551
'Cause there is no gold.
374
00:22:57,482 --> 00:22:59,379
And gold equals diapers.
375
00:23:03,068 --> 00:23:04,034
[Jeff speaking]
376
00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:09,310
Okay.
377
00:23:18,724 --> 00:23:19,724
[Eddie speaking]
378
00:23:20,689 --> 00:23:22,000
Okay, sounds like a plan.
379
00:23:28,344 --> 00:23:29,655
[Jane speaking]
380
00:23:30,206 --> 00:23:31,275
[Jeff speaking]
381
00:23:37,172 --> 00:23:38,137
[Jane speaking]
382
00:23:39,482 --> 00:23:40,482
[Jeff speaking]
383
00:23:57,793 --> 00:23:58,793
[laughs]
384
00:24:01,241 --> 00:24:03,344
[Jeff speaking]
385
00:24:03,344 --> 00:24:04,344
[Jane speaking]
386
00:24:05,620 --> 00:24:09,655
My God. We finally
have a diver down
and he's on gold,
387
00:24:09,655 --> 00:24:10,862
and nothing's breaking down.
388
00:24:10,862 --> 00:24:12,896
Like, could this finally
be the day where everything
389
00:24:12,896 --> 00:24:15,000
works the way
it's supposed to?
390
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,689
I mean, miracles
do happen, right?
391
00:24:17,758 --> 00:24:19,068
[man] Rocks look really good!
392
00:24:19,689 --> 00:24:20,689
[Jeff speaking]
393
00:24:22,172 --> 00:24:24,655
- [laughs] Isn't that nice?
- Whoo, yeah.
394
00:24:25,551 --> 00:24:26,551
[Jeff speaking]
395
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:31,000
[narrator] As Team
Riedel gets a last
minute reprieve,
396
00:24:33,724 --> 00:24:35,689
a battle rages on the ice.
397
00:24:36,586 --> 00:24:37,862
[Shawn] We have to move.
398
00:24:41,344 --> 00:24:44,482
[narrator] Mr. Gold's
been forced to find
new ground
399
00:24:44,482 --> 00:24:45,896
after coming up empty.
400
00:24:46,793 --> 00:24:48,172
Story of my life.
401
00:24:48,172 --> 00:24:51,862
I'm spending more time
on the backhoe
than I am on the bottom.
402
00:24:53,344 --> 00:24:54,793
[narrator] While
eight miles east...
403
00:24:57,344 --> 00:24:58,310
[Chris] One of those days.
404
00:25:04,344 --> 00:25:06,034
[Chris speaking]
405
00:25:06,034 --> 00:25:09,482
[narrator] A young
superstar's still stuck
between a rock
406
00:25:09,482 --> 00:25:10,965
and a hose piece.
407
00:25:11,413 --> 00:25:12,413
[John speaking]
408
00:25:13,793 --> 00:25:14,793
[Chris speaking]
409
00:25:16,206 --> 00:25:18,379
We're just shy of 100 ounces.
410
00:25:18,379 --> 00:25:21,517
And I'm trying to get
more gold than anybody
in this fleet.
411
00:25:21,517 --> 00:25:24,758
Now the hose is completely
out of the water,
412
00:25:24,758 --> 00:25:26,896
we're looking
for this stupid rock.
413
00:25:26,896 --> 00:25:28,551
That means I'm not
making any money,
414
00:25:28,551 --> 00:25:30,758
but that's our situation
right now.
415
00:25:30,758 --> 00:25:33,620
You know, the last few hours
we could be diving
416
00:25:33,620 --> 00:25:35,172
is now passing us by.
417
00:25:35,172 --> 00:25:36,724
You got the knife?
Thank you.
418
00:25:46,275 --> 00:25:48,310
[exclaims] See, look?
419
00:25:48,310 --> 00:25:49,758
There's our culprit,
right there.
420
00:25:51,862 --> 00:25:54,586
Oh yeah, she's a good one
right there.
421
00:25:54,586 --> 00:25:57,241
Holy [bleep]. That won't even
come out just by doing this.
422
00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:59,758
- Get right in there.
- There you go.
423
00:26:01,517 --> 00:26:02,482
- Man.
- [John speaking]
424
00:26:06,137 --> 00:26:08,000
- [Chris] Yep.
- All it takes.
425
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,206
That's all it takes. Yeah.
426
00:26:09,206 --> 00:26:11,965
I mean, just look how small
that rock is.
427
00:26:11,965 --> 00:26:13,793
But when it goes
that way, it's perfect.
428
00:26:13,793 --> 00:26:15,482
[Chris] It clunks it
perfect, huh?
429
00:26:19,689 --> 00:26:21,689
All right.
Ready to go back to down.
430
00:26:23,724 --> 00:26:26,137
So we avoided major crisis.
431
00:26:26,137 --> 00:26:29,931
We lost a little bit of time,
but the great news is
we're still on Wall Street.
432
00:26:29,931 --> 00:26:33,896
We know we're
on killer gold,
so it's time to crush it.
433
00:26:33,896 --> 00:26:35,965
- [John speaking]
- Get money, dude.
434
00:26:38,344 --> 00:26:39,310
[John speaking]
435
00:26:40,413 --> 00:26:41,413
[laughs]
436
00:26:42,103 --> 00:26:43,206
Yeah.
437
00:26:43,206 --> 00:26:45,068
We got the rock out.
438
00:26:45,068 --> 00:26:46,241
John's back in the water.
439
00:26:46,896 --> 00:26:48,344
Just a minor hiccup.
440
00:26:48,862 --> 00:26:49,862
[John speaking]
441
00:26:52,551 --> 00:26:54,413
[Chris speaking]
442
00:26:54,413 --> 00:26:57,724
Things are looking
pretty good from here.
443
00:26:57,724 --> 00:26:59,862
[narrator] While Chris gets
a homerun on Wall Street...
444
00:27:07,758 --> 00:27:09,379
[Kris] We got a lot
of gold in the box.
445
00:27:09,379 --> 00:27:13,275
And it's building up
at the front where it
[bleep] should be building up.
446
00:27:13,275 --> 00:27:17,310
[narrator] ...Reaper Nation
could be experiencing
a miracle.
447
00:27:17,310 --> 00:27:20,413
Looking really good.
Lots of material.
Lots of big boulders.
448
00:27:21,310 --> 00:27:22,827
We're working
this [bleep] out.
449
00:27:22,827 --> 00:27:24,413
We're getting a system.
450
00:27:24,413 --> 00:27:26,827
More importantly,
we're getting gold
451
00:27:26,827 --> 00:27:28,689
without jumping
underneath the water.
452
00:27:29,448 --> 00:27:30,758
Can I get a hallelujah?

[Kris] I think
it's gonna be a great day.

for like,
a few actual hours.
460
00:27:49,206 --> 00:27:51,931
This is what I've been
talking about all season.
461
00:27:51,931 --> 00:27:53,965
It looks like we're really
gonna finish strong.
462

[system beeping]
463
00:28:05,482 --> 00:28:06,482

something wrong.

[system beeping]
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,551
[Kris] What the [bleep]
is going on?
466
00:28:17,551 --> 00:28:18,586
What the [bleep]
is going on with that?
467
00:28:23,344 --> 00:28:25,586
[Kris] Your umbilical line
cable's on something.
468
00:28:27,241 --> 00:28:28,551
It's stuck.
469
00:28:31,275 --> 00:28:32,482
[Andy] What's the matter?
470
00:28:32,482 --> 00:28:34,586
- Umbilical!
- What?
471
00:28:34,586 --> 00:28:37,137
[Kris] The umbilical line's
tangled on something.
472
00:28:37,827 --> 00:28:38,965
[Andy speaking]
473
00:28:42,137 --> 00:28:42,862
Okay, well...
474
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:48,827
Maybe we're just
not supposed
to have nice things.
475
00:28:48,827 --> 00:28:49,931
I don't know.
476
00:28:49,931 --> 00:28:52,586
Andy runs those controls
like he's playing PAC-MAN.
477
00:28:52,586 --> 00:28:55,689
He doesn't really pay
attention to anything
that's happening down there.
478
00:28:55,689 --> 00:28:59,000
A bunch of lines
got tangled and ripped
some cameras off.
479
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,931
So now the whole
thing's impractical.
480
00:29:00,931 --> 00:29:02,724
We're basically running
blind down there.
481
00:29:03,931 --> 00:29:06,137
Andy just [bleep] us.
482
00:29:06,137 --> 00:29:08,827
I wish Andy would have
taken it easy to start with.
483
00:29:10,689 --> 00:29:12,137
We're gonna have to take
it out of the water
484
00:29:12,137 --> 00:29:15,206
to, uh, put the cameras
back into position.
485
00:29:16,931 --> 00:29:19,000
So right now,
I have to dive in the water,
486
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,275
direct Andy to get
the crawler positioned
underneath the hole
487
00:29:22,275 --> 00:29:23,793
so we can hook
it up with the winch.
488
00:29:23,793 --> 00:29:25,586
I have to be his
eyes down there.
489
00:29:25,586 --> 00:29:29,931
We're not making
any money right now.
490
00:29:29,931 --> 00:29:32,413
Just what I want to do
on the last day of the season.
491
00:29:32,413 --> 00:29:33,689
This is a joke.
492
00:29:38,620 --> 00:29:40,965

only give him what he needs.

00:31:12,517 --> 00:31:13,413
[Kris speaking]
522
00:31:16,413 --> 00:31:17,724
[Daniel] 'Kay,
what do you need?
523
00:31:18,965 --> 00:31:19,620
[Kris speaking]
524
00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:31,241
Say again.
525
00:31:34,103 --> 00:31:34,827
[Kris speaking]
526
00:31:39,413 --> 00:31:40,034
[Daniel speaking]
527
00:31:45,482 --> 00:31:46,137
[Kris speaking]
528
00:31:47,655 --> 00:31:49,482
We're [bleep]
the comm-box with him.
529
00:31:52,517 --> 00:31:53,172
[Kris speaking]
530
00:31:55,172 --> 00:31:56,379
Can you hear me, Kris?
531
00:31:57,931 --> 00:31:58,724
[Kris speaking]
532
00:32:11,862 --> 00:32:13,241
[Daniel]
Can you hear me, Kris?
533
00:32:23,517 --> 00:32:24,551
Can you hear me, Kris?
534
00:32:25,275 --> 00:32:26,000
He's not answering.
535
00:32:27,517 --> 00:32:28,689
[Kris speaking
indistinctly underwater]
536
00:32:30,275 --> 00:32:31,172
[Andy] What do you need?
537
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:34,206
[Kris speaking]
538
00:32:36,275 --> 00:32:37,689
[Daniel]
Pull the umbilical up.
539
00:32:44,379 --> 00:32:45,517
Keep pulling it.
540
00:33:08,206 --> 00:33:10,689
Well, I've been
in better situations.
541
00:33:10,689 --> 00:33:11,931
Let's just put it that way.
542
00:33:13,586 --> 00:33:15,241
It ran over my umbilical.
543
00:33:15,241 --> 00:33:17,172
It got [bleep] trapped.
544
00:33:17,172 --> 00:33:19,206
I don't wanna talk about it.
It's [bleep].
545
00:33:20,344 --> 00:33:22,413
Super [bleep].
546
00:33:22,413 --> 00:33:24,379
I'm glad I made it out
of that situation.
547
00:33:25,793 --> 00:33:27,448
Thank God that the hose
didn't rip in half.
548
00:33:29,275 --> 00:33:30,551
So that was a clown show.
549
00:33:30,551 --> 00:33:33,310
The comms weren't working.
Those guys can barely hear me.
550
00:33:33,310 --> 00:33:35,448
And Andy drove right
over my airline.
551
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:40,206
Yeah, good times, man.
552
00:33:40,206 --> 00:33:42,000
But whatever,
I survived.
553
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,137
We just need to get
the cameras back
on the crawler,
554
00:33:44,137 --> 00:33:46,137
so we can get it back
under the water.
555
00:33:46,137 --> 00:33:48,068
Get some gold
and retain some dignity.
556
00:33:48,931 --> 00:33:50,034
Winch it up.
557
00:33:53,586 --> 00:33:55,206
We're mining today,
one way or another.
558
00:33:55,793 --> 00:33:58,241
Nothing's stopping us.
559
00:33:58,241 --> 00:34:00,827
Even if he has
to get down there with
a bucket and a shovel.
560
00:34:01,551 --> 00:34:02,896
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
561
00:34:07,241 --> 00:34:08,000
[narrator] Meanwhile...
562
00:34:09,034 --> 00:34:10,068
back at the duel.
563
00:34:14,793 --> 00:34:16,241
[Chris]
How goes everything, John?
564
00:34:17,137 --> 00:34:17,931
[John speaking]
565
00:34:22,137 --> 00:34:22,793
[Chris speaking]
566
00:34:23,758 --> 00:34:25,241
That's awesome.
567
00:34:25,241 --> 00:34:26,827
[narrator]
Wall Street is paying big
568
00:34:26,827 --> 00:34:29,275
for the McCully team
on the last day
of the season.
569
00:34:31,034 --> 00:34:34,620
[Chris] Hey, John,
you've been down
there for four hours now.
570
00:34:34,620 --> 00:34:35,965
Just come up
whenever you're ready.
571
00:34:36,620 --> 00:34:37,275
[John speaking]
572
00:34:42,103 --> 00:34:42,896
[Chris speaking]
573
00:34:44,482 --> 00:34:45,517
John's coming up.
574
00:34:46,931 --> 00:34:49,310
You can't stop us.
No one can stop us.
575
00:34:49,310 --> 00:34:50,551
We're unstoppable.
576
00:34:50,551 --> 00:34:53,310
That kind of a rock jam,
that we just experienced,
577
00:34:53,310 --> 00:34:56,241
it would have ended
the season for other miners.
578
00:34:56,241 --> 00:34:58,793
But we got it cleared out
and we're back on the gold.
579
00:34:59,827 --> 00:35:02,724
Now Wall Street is a bull
market today, man.
580
00:35:03,206 --> 00:35:04,551
Hey, buddy.
581
00:35:06,068 --> 00:35:07,896
Now it's time for me
to go down there
582
00:35:07,896 --> 00:35:10,206
and close the season
out in style.
583
00:35:11,034 --> 00:35:11,896
[Chris speaking]
584
00:35:13,620 --> 00:35:14,724
Booyah!
585
00:35:15,275 --> 00:35:16,172
Last dive.
586
00:35:20,620 --> 00:35:22,689
All right. Got to the bottom.
587
00:35:28,517 --> 00:35:29,862
Last dive.
588
00:35:33,827 --> 00:35:34,482
[Chris speaking]
589
00:35:40,482 --> 00:35:41,655
[John] You like
what you are seeing?
590
00:35:43,103 --> 00:35:43,758
[Chris speaking]
591
00:35:45,655 --> 00:35:46,862
[John] I know, baby.
592
00:35:48,551 --> 00:35:49,206
[Chris speaking]
593
00:35:57,413 --> 00:35:58,551
[John speaking]
594
00:36:02,793 --> 00:36:03,689
[Chris speaking]
595
00:36:10,931 --> 00:36:11,931
[Chris exclaims
in excitement]
596
00:36:14,034 --> 00:36:16,103
[narrator]
While Chris McCully
knocks it out of the park...
597
00:36:21,862 --> 00:36:23,344
[Shawn] There we go.
Punch a couple holes,
598
00:36:23,344 --> 00:36:25,206
drop the drill pipe down.
599
00:36:25,931 --> 00:36:27,275
Take a couple samples.
600
00:36:28,241 --> 00:36:30,275
See if we can find some gold.
601
00:36:30,275 --> 00:36:31,862
[narrator]
After striking out,
602
00:36:31,862 --> 00:36:34,275
Mr. Gold's stepping
back up to the plate...
603
00:36:35,482 --> 00:36:36,689
with a bigger bat.
604
00:36:38,448 --> 00:36:39,448
[Shawn] See if this works.
605
00:36:40,586 --> 00:36:42,931
I can't afford another
swing and a miss today.
606
00:36:42,931 --> 00:36:43,827
We're running out of time.
607
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:47,344
Instead of going down
blindly on the next hole,
608
00:36:47,344 --> 00:36:50,413
I'm gonna use a core sample
device that I devised
609
00:36:50,413 --> 00:36:52,137
and pinpoint a spot.
610
00:36:54,862 --> 00:36:56,275
You drill a hole in the ice,
611
00:36:56,275 --> 00:36:58,448
haul a piece of pipe
down to the bottom.
612
00:37:00,310 --> 00:37:01,931
Pull out a sample,
613
00:37:01,931 --> 00:37:03,310
yank it out.
614
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,620
Pan the sample with the boot.
615
00:37:05,620 --> 00:37:07,655
You have an instant read
on the ground below.
616
00:37:08,413 --> 00:37:09,275
Here we go.
617
00:37:18,689 --> 00:37:20,034
Think I made it through.
618
00:37:26,379 --> 00:37:28,137
Let's see if there's
any gold here.
619
00:37:31,448 --> 00:37:32,586
Good sample.
620
00:37:33,827 --> 00:37:35,206
We got a good sample.
621
00:37:44,517 --> 00:37:46,448
[laughs boisterously]
622
00:37:55,275 --> 00:37:59,448
Yeah. That's what I'm
[bleep] talking about [bleep].
623
00:38:00,551 --> 00:38:01,689
Whoo.
624
00:38:01,689 --> 00:38:04,758
Look at that. That's from
this little three inch pipe.
625
00:38:05,793 --> 00:38:08,275
You can see one, two,
three, four, five,
626
00:38:08,275 --> 00:38:09,620
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
627
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:11,103
eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen.
628
00:38:11,965 --> 00:38:14,586
There's 15 plus colors
in that pan.
629
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,655
And that's how
you find gold.
630
00:38:20,068 --> 00:38:21,551
I think I found
our next dive hole.
631
00:38:22,931 --> 00:38:26,344
[laughs] With no
diving involved.
632
00:38:26,344 --> 00:38:30,724
That tells me if there's
that much gold in a little
tiny three inch pipe,
633
00:38:30,724 --> 00:38:34,103
that there's a whole
bunch of gold right
underneath our feet.
634
00:38:35,551 --> 00:38:38,586
Now we just gotta
get the shack pulled
over and get moved.
635
00:38:38,586 --> 00:38:40,172
We're gonna make
some money, honey.
636
00:38:51,172 --> 00:38:53,448
[man] It's the last chance
to get some gold.
637
00:38:53,448 --> 00:38:55,793
If this hole can be good,
then we will be good.
638
00:38:57,551 --> 00:38:59,655
Well, you never know until
you get back down there.
639
00:39:01,448 --> 00:39:02,896
The core sample doesn't lie.
640
00:39:02,896 --> 00:39:05,896
The more colors in the pan,
the better the hole.
641
00:39:05,896 --> 00:39:08,448
15 plus colors.
That's sick.
642
00:39:08,448 --> 00:39:10,551
It's down there.
I just gotta get on it.
643
00:39:10,551 --> 00:39:11,931
This is our last chance.
644
00:39:12,413 --> 00:39:13,172
Let's crush it.
645
00:39:14,103 --> 00:39:15,551
[man] Go get 'em.
646
00:39:15,551 --> 00:39:17,620
Booyah, Shawn.
One more pile of gold.
647
00:39:23,655 --> 00:39:25,517
[Shawn] Man, it looks really
good down here.
648
00:39:30,068 --> 00:39:32,310
What you seeing
down there, Shawn?
649
00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:34,965
[Shawn] Lots of cobble.
Lots of rocks.
650
00:39:37,379 --> 00:39:39,068
Sounds like a difference
from the last hole.
651
00:39:40,827 --> 00:39:42,310
I have some fresh
ground over here.
652
00:39:44,344 --> 00:39:45,413
[Shawn] Let's find some gold.
653
00:39:52,448 --> 00:39:54,206
Come on baby,
where you at?
654
00:39:56,379 --> 00:39:57,413
Come on, baby.
655
00:40:02,896 --> 00:40:04,827
Haven't seen gold yet.
656
00:40:07,758 --> 00:40:11,551
I'm gonna try this.
There's more rock
here and material.
657
00:40:12,655 --> 00:40:13,482
Where you at?
658
00:40:25,172 --> 00:40:28,068
Aw. There we go.
There we go.
659
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,586
I'm seeing gold!
660
00:40:32,137 --> 00:40:33,758
[laughs]
661
00:40:35,137 --> 00:40:36,724
Oh, yeah!
662
00:40:39,379 --> 00:40:41,758
Okay, guys.
I'm looking at it.
Yeah!
663
00:40:41,758 --> 00:40:43,724
Look at that.
Look at that.
664
00:40:45,551 --> 00:40:47,517
[Shawn] Yeah!
[laughs]
665
00:40:48,655 --> 00:40:49,620
Back in business.
666
00:40:51,275 --> 00:40:52,655
Yeah!
667
00:40:56,655 --> 00:40:57,965
[narrator] As the storm,
that'll shut down
winter mining,
668
00:40:57,965 --> 00:40:59,206
advances on Nome...
669
00:41:05,551 --> 00:41:06,206
[Nate speaking]
670
00:41:09,551 --> 00:41:10,344
[Zeke speaking]
671
00:41:13,655 --> 00:41:16,896
[narrator] Zeke's making
it count on the last
mining day of the season.
672
00:41:17,793 --> 00:41:18,586
[Nate speaking]
673
00:41:34,344 --> 00:41:35,965
I mean, I'm having
a great time now.
674
00:41:35,965 --> 00:41:39,103
I'm already stoked
on coming back next winter.
675
00:41:40,448 --> 00:41:42,758
[Zeke] All right, guys.
I'm gonna head up.
676
00:41:42,758 --> 00:41:45,517
You wanna pull up
my tether?
I'm done for this winter.
677
00:41:46,275 --> 00:41:47,172
[man] Sounds good.
678
00:41:48,620 --> 00:41:50,517
[Zeke] I'm leaving
on a high note for sure.
679
00:41:58,137 --> 00:41:59,275
I love the way we're
ending this season.
680
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,551
No major pressure ridges.
681
00:42:01,551 --> 00:42:05,068
Great gold.
And we were able
to get multiple dives in.
682
00:42:05,068 --> 00:42:07,689
We're gonna get Nate
down there and then Sam.
683
00:42:07,689 --> 00:42:09,103
And we're just gonna
keep this party going.
684
00:42:11,068 --> 00:42:12,931
[Nate speaking]
685
00:42:24,862 --> 00:42:26,000
All righty.
686
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,482
[Zeke speaking]
687
00:42:29,172 --> 00:42:31,275
[Nate] Yeah, I'm looking
at this little hole.
688
00:42:31,275 --> 00:42:31,965
[Zeke speaking]
689
00:42:35,344 --> 00:42:37,965
It's just kind of like,
on top of that silky stuff,
you know.
690
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:39,344
[Nate speaking]
691
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:42,448
Holy [bleep].
692
00:42:44,344 --> 00:42:46,413
Oh, I see some big old chunks.
693
00:42:48,103 --> 00:42:49,310
Yeah.
694
00:42:52,689 --> 00:42:53,517
[screaming in excitement]
695
00:42:54,793 --> 00:42:56,379
[Zeke] Yeah.
That's good stuff.
696
00:42:58,379 --> 00:42:59,655
[narrator]
Just across the ice...
697
00:43:02,206 --> 00:43:03,310
[Larry] Hey, Vernon.
698
00:43:06,517 --> 00:43:09,758
Oh, yeah. It's big.
But it's not as big
as you, Larry.
699
00:43:11,862 --> 00:43:13,448
[narrator]
After a rocky start,
700
00:43:13,448 --> 00:43:15,689
Vernon's team
is rockin' and rollin'.
701
00:43:15,689 --> 00:43:17,000
[Larry exclaims]
702
00:43:18,275 --> 00:43:20,103
[Vernon]
All right. Let me see that...
703
00:43:20,103 --> 00:43:21,965
golden rainbow underneath it.
704
00:43:22,551 --> 00:43:23,241
[Larry] Whoo.
705
00:43:26,586 --> 00:43:28,758
[Vernon speaking]
706
00:43:30,172 --> 00:43:31,551
Stay on it.
707
00:43:31,551 --> 00:43:35,413
[narrator] And now,
a last-minute victory
could be in sight.
708
00:43:35,413 --> 00:43:37,206
Yeah. Here we
are end of season,
709
00:43:37,206 --> 00:43:39,206
and we got
a good hot hole,
710
00:43:39,206 --> 00:43:43,206
and we moved quite
a bit more material
with two divers.
711
00:43:43,206 --> 00:43:46,896
But, Scott cut out.
His harness got cut.
712
00:43:46,896 --> 00:43:50,241
I got one other harness
and it's like,
a large harness.
713
00:43:50,241 --> 00:43:51,724
Actually, it's extra-large.
714
00:43:51,724 --> 00:43:54,655
So when Larry comes up,
we'll send Leonard down.
715
00:43:54,655 --> 00:43:56,862
He'll mop everything up.
716
00:43:56,862 --> 00:43:59,793
Get all the gold,
but we'll do it one
diver at a time.
717
00:44:01,068 --> 00:44:01,724
[Larry speaking]
718
00:44:05,896 --> 00:44:06,896
[Vernon speaking]
719
00:44:10,310 --> 00:44:11,137
[Larry] Okay.
720
00:44:11,137 --> 00:44:12,793
I'm gonna go ahead
and come on up.
721
00:44:12,793 --> 00:44:13,862
I'm gonna leave
the nozzle here.
722
00:44:14,724 --> 00:44:15,379
[Vernon speaking]
723
00:44:17,103 --> 00:44:19,517
We might not have gotten
two divers down at once,
724
00:44:19,517 --> 00:44:21,965
but Larry made up...
more than made up for it.
725
00:44:22,620 --> 00:44:24,793
There's gold in that box.
726
00:44:24,793 --> 00:44:27,448
Hot water was working.
The air was working.
727
00:44:27,448 --> 00:44:28,827
And I'm seeing gold.
728
00:44:28,827 --> 00:44:30,793
Started... came into
a line on that one.
729
00:44:30,793 --> 00:44:32,068
And we just knocked it out.
730
00:44:36,275 --> 00:44:38,551
- Well, that's a good thing.
- [laughs] Yes, it is.
731
00:44:39,758 --> 00:44:42,172
We thought we were down
to one diver for the day,
732
00:44:42,172 --> 00:44:45,275
but Leonard fits perfectly
into that back-up harness.
733
00:44:45,275 --> 00:44:47,448
So we're gonna
get him down there.
734
00:44:47,448 --> 00:44:49,482
And I call him
the Mike Tyson of diving.
735
00:44:50,689 --> 00:44:52,172
[boxing round bell dings]
736
00:44:52,172 --> 00:44:54,931
But his first time
under the ice, he almost
got knocked out.
737
00:44:56,551 --> 00:44:57,448
[Leonard speaking]
738
00:44:58,758 --> 00:45:00,241
[Vernon] He got caught
in a bunch of lines
739
00:45:00,241 --> 00:45:02,206
and we had to pull
him up to safety.
740
00:45:02,206 --> 00:45:04,448
[man] Hold, hold, hold.
Hold on. Get him up.
get him up.
741
00:45:04,448 --> 00:45:05,655
[man 2] Get him up.
742
00:45:05,655 --> 00:45:07,586
[Vernon] Hopefully,
he isn't gun-shy,
743
00:45:07,586 --> 00:45:10,551
because he's gonna
be our last batter
at the plate this season.
744
00:45:15,172 --> 00:45:17,620
Figure it's gonna
be the last dive.
745
00:45:17,620 --> 00:45:19,068
Put some gold
in the box.
746
00:45:20,965 --> 00:45:22,413
- [boxing round bell dings]
- [Vernon] All right.
747
00:45:28,689 --> 00:45:31,275
- Okay, Leonard,
you hear me?
- Yes.
748
00:45:32,379 --> 00:45:34,551
[Vernon]
Pay attention
to your umbilical.
749
00:45:34,551 --> 00:45:36,586
Make sure
it doesn't get twisted,
750
00:45:36,586 --> 00:45:38,482
or caught up
on the hose or rocks.
751
00:45:39,413 --> 00:45:40,275
[Leonard] Okay.
752
00:45:51,206 --> 00:45:53,551
[Vernon] He's doing well.
He's down there. He's...
753
00:45:53,551 --> 00:45:56,275
taking suction.
Hopefully there's
some gold in it.
754
00:46:04,103 --> 00:46:05,103
[Leonard speaking]
755
00:46:09,068 --> 00:46:10,758
[Vernon]
A pay layer? Okay.
756
00:46:10,758 --> 00:46:11,862
That sounds good.
757
00:46:12,413 --> 00:46:13,034
[Leonard speaking]
758
00:46:15,965 --> 00:46:18,413
[Vernon] All right.
Well, that's the way we
want it. Make the season.
759
00:46:19,172 --> 00:46:21,068
It's been a slow roll out,
760
00:46:21,068 --> 00:46:23,689
and a couple of bad holes
and some bad weather.
761
00:46:23,689 --> 00:46:25,655
But, maybe this hole
will make up for it.
762
00:46:26,448 --> 00:46:27,068
[Leonard speaking]
763
00:46:28,448 --> 00:46:29,827
[narrator]
12 miles west.
764
00:46:32,896 --> 00:46:33,896
[Kris]
Everything's up and running?
765
00:46:34,586 --> 00:46:35,310
Back at it.
766
00:46:35,310 --> 00:46:37,379
[Kris]
That's money, baby.
767
00:46:37,379 --> 00:46:39,034
That is. That's money.
768
00:46:39,034 --> 00:46:41,620
[narrator] As the book
is nearly closed on winter,
769
00:46:41,620 --> 00:46:44,793
Kris Kelly has the crawler
back in business.
770
00:46:48,655 --> 00:46:49,896
[Kris]
I had a really bad day.
771
00:46:49,896 --> 00:46:54,275
I came really close
to losing my air supply,
772
00:46:54,275 --> 00:46:55,827
and being pinned
underneath the water.
773
00:46:55,827 --> 00:46:57,551
Even though nobody
[bleep] believes me.
774
00:46:57,551 --> 00:46:58,655
And I don't give a [bleep].
775
00:47:08,517 --> 00:47:09,379
You know what?
776
00:47:09,379 --> 00:47:10,827
That was a close call
with my airline.
777
00:47:10,827 --> 00:47:12,482
No matter what Andy says.
778
00:47:12,482 --> 00:47:14,000
I mean, the thing
weighs two tons
779
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,517
and you're running
over rubber hoses.
780
00:47:16,827 --> 00:47:18,275
Screw him. I don't care.
781
00:47:18,275 --> 00:47:19,758
The most important thing is,
782
00:47:19,758 --> 00:47:22,310
we got the crawler
back down there
and we're running material.
783
00:47:23,310 --> 00:47:24,241
Idle up.
784
00:47:27,689 --> 00:47:29,724
We're seeing gold
in the mats.
785
00:47:29,724 --> 00:47:32,620
Suction's really good.
Lots of material.
Lots of big boulders.
786
00:47:33,689 --> 00:47:34,896
And we're lucky.
787
00:47:34,896 --> 00:47:37,551
You know, like, we,
for some [bleep] reason,
788
00:47:37,551 --> 00:47:39,758
land on gold for no...
789
00:47:39,758 --> 00:47:41,724
And Andy's one lucky
son of a [bleep].
790
00:47:41,724 --> 00:47:43,379
It's probably his
only real gift.
791
00:47:43,862 --> 00:47:44,517
[man speaking]
792
00:47:45,724 --> 00:47:46,689
That's what I'm
talking about, baby.
793
00:47:53,344 --> 00:47:55,482
Everything's actually great.
794
00:47:55,482 --> 00:47:57,413
And I swear to God
as my witness.
795
00:47:57,413 --> 00:47:59,206
Strike me dead
if I'm lying.
796
00:47:59,206 --> 00:48:02,103
It's gonna get a lot better
right now, from this [bleep]
797
00:48:02,103 --> 00:48:03,931
magical point on.
798
00:48:12,068 --> 00:48:14,551
Oh, [bleep].
What the [bleep]
is going on?
799
00:48:19,241 --> 00:48:20,241
Something's wrong.
800
00:48:20,241 --> 00:48:20,931
[Andy speaking]
801
00:48:24,965 --> 00:48:27,827
And the problem is,
I got no suction hose.
802
00:48:29,413 --> 00:48:30,206
There's my coupler.
803
00:48:31,517 --> 00:48:32,655
There's no hose.
804
00:48:34,206 --> 00:48:36,000
You know what?
I just can't win.
805
00:48:39,206 --> 00:48:40,137
This is gonna shock people.
806
00:48:40,137 --> 00:48:41,896
But one of the most
important things
807
00:48:41,896 --> 00:48:43,689
to get gold off the sea floor
808
00:48:43,689 --> 00:48:45,000
is the suction hose.
809
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,827
The gold won't
magically float up,
810
00:48:46,827 --> 00:48:48,379
or jump off the floor
of the ocean,
811
00:48:48,379 --> 00:48:50,275
like a magical jumping bean.
812
00:48:50,275 --> 00:48:51,241
You need a hose.
813
00:48:51,241 --> 00:48:53,000
And now suddenly,
we don't have one.
814
00:48:59,413 --> 00:49:01,551
Once again, we have my
brother to thank for this.
815
00:49:02,413 --> 00:49:03,793
The truth is,
816
00:49:03,793 --> 00:49:06,241
if you were looking
at the back
of the camera occasionally...
817
00:49:06,241 --> 00:49:08,655
- Okay. You can go.
- You can plug it in,
every now and then.
818
00:49:08,655 --> 00:49:11,068
Watch the front camera.
Yeah, like that
ain't got more, huh?
819
00:49:11,068 --> 00:49:13,448
I know. But you look
like every hour
and every half an hour,
820
00:49:13,448 --> 00:49:14,413
you could plug
the other one in,
821
00:49:14,413 --> 00:49:15,724
it's like, oh,
everything's cool here.
822
00:49:17,241 --> 00:49:18,551
Idle down the hydraulics.
823
00:49:18,551 --> 00:49:20,517
Andy just [bleep] us, hard.
824
00:49:23,206 --> 00:49:24,896
That's gonna be
a [bleep] to fix.
825
00:49:24,896 --> 00:49:26,517
We might as well
just call it a season.
826
00:49:26,517 --> 00:49:28,241
'Cause, you know,
like, this is a [bleep] joke.
827
00:49:33,482 --> 00:49:34,517
That storm's coming.
828
00:49:34,517 --> 00:49:36,482
We don't have enough
time to do a fix like this.
829
00:49:36,965 --> 00:49:38,379
Not even close.
830
00:49:38,379 --> 00:49:40,793
I would say,
this is not the way I
wanted to end this season.
831
00:49:42,103 --> 00:49:44,551
But hopefully, Andy's
psycho-aggressive style
832
00:49:44,551 --> 00:49:45,758
has netted us some gold.
833
00:49:46,965 --> 00:49:49,137
'Cause whatever we got
in the box right now,
834
00:49:49,137 --> 00:49:50,586
is what we got for the season.
835
00:49:54,206 --> 00:49:58,379
Well, it started off
like it was gonna
be a good day.
836
00:49:58,379 --> 00:50:00,413
It's definitely not turning
out to be a good day.
837
00:50:08,241 --> 00:50:10,206
[Leonard speaking]
838
00:50:10,206 --> 00:50:13,310
[Vernon] All right, Leonard.
This is the final
dive of the season.
839
00:50:16,448 --> 00:50:17,758
[Leonard speaking]
840
00:50:17,758 --> 00:50:21,137
[narrator]
Diver Leonard Lowens
finishes his fourth hour
841
00:50:21,137 --> 00:50:24,620
muscling up gold
in the waning moments
of winter mining.
842
00:50:25,482 --> 00:50:26,551
[Vernon] All right, Leonard.
843
00:50:26,551 --> 00:50:27,241
[Leonard speaking]
844
00:50:29,068 --> 00:50:31,034
[Vernon]
He's coming up.
He's coming up.
845
00:50:32,793 --> 00:50:34,517
Well, it wasn't
two divers at once,
846
00:50:34,517 --> 00:50:36,793
but it was the next
best thing.
847
00:50:36,793 --> 00:50:39,517
Two divers separately
getting a lot
of hours on the box.
848
00:50:41,275 --> 00:50:43,448
I doubt if they're gonna
pull in 150 ounces,
849
00:50:43,448 --> 00:50:45,965
but I'm glad we had
a successful dive for once.
850
00:50:46,586 --> 00:50:47,241
[Larry speaking]
851
00:50:47,793 --> 00:50:48,482
That was a good dive.
852
00:50:51,793 --> 00:50:52,448
[Larry] Yep.
853
00:50:55,413 --> 00:50:56,034
[Larry] Come on up.
854
00:50:57,758 --> 00:50:58,689
Great dive.
855
00:51:01,068 --> 00:51:03,724
I'm not trying
to be a bitter
sourpuss right now,
856
00:51:03,724 --> 00:51:05,620
but I'm not exactly celebrating.
857
00:51:06,551 --> 00:51:07,689
I mean, let's be honest.
858
00:51:07,689 --> 00:51:09,724
This season was
an absolute ball buster.
859
00:51:10,655 --> 00:51:12,068
No disrespect or anything,
860
00:51:12,068 --> 00:51:13,344
and I'm not talking about you,
861
00:51:13,344 --> 00:51:15,827
but I'm disgusted with
this [bleep] season.
862
00:51:20,206 --> 00:51:23,103
[Vernon] But even now,
once we finally got
things working,
863
00:51:23,103 --> 00:51:25,206
- now it's over.
- Season's over.
864
00:51:25,206 --> 00:51:26,827
[Vernon] We got
little bit of gold in this.
865
00:51:26,827 --> 00:51:29,379
We'll put it on the scales
and we'll see.
866
00:51:29,379 --> 00:51:31,931
We'll just bag it, tag it,
take it to the house.
867
00:51:33,379 --> 00:51:35,241
It is what it is.
868
00:51:35,241 --> 00:51:37,655
I'll take my licks
and keep on ticking.
869
00:51:38,931 --> 00:51:40,413
[narrator]
As Vernon packs it in...
870
00:51:47,448 --> 00:51:48,103
[Zeke speaking]
871
00:51:49,241 --> 00:51:51,931
[Nate] This to me is like,
pleasure town, man.
872
00:51:51,931 --> 00:51:53,103
This is good, clean fun.
873
00:51:53,103 --> 00:51:56,448
And I'm seeing a lot
of nice chunky pieces.
874
00:51:56,448 --> 00:52:00,034
[narrator] The gold train
keeps chugging
for Team Tenhoff.
875
00:52:00,034 --> 00:52:03,310
There's still probably
a lot of good
stuff to the west.
876
00:52:03,310 --> 00:52:05,586
We're gonna have to get
around to it at some point.
877
00:52:05,586 --> 00:52:07,448
But, gold on that whole bench.
878
00:52:07,448 --> 00:52:09,551
So, uh, I mean,
879
00:52:09,551 --> 00:52:11,931
can't ask for much
more than that.
880
00:52:11,931 --> 00:52:14,724
[Nate] This is the kind
of material you could just put
your hand down and work.
881
00:52:18,103 --> 00:52:20,551
[Zeke] You've been down
about four hours
at this point.
882
00:52:23,413 --> 00:52:24,068
[Nate speaking]
883
00:52:29,241 --> 00:52:30,379
This hole's really good.
884
00:52:31,241 --> 00:52:33,482
Whoo!
885
00:52:33,482 --> 00:52:35,862
You always wanna
finish strong and that's
what we're doing.
886
00:52:35,862 --> 00:52:38,655
I had a strong dive
and Nate absolutely killed it.
887
00:52:38,655 --> 00:52:42,413
Pop down there,
put a herd on this
ground we've got.
888
00:52:42,413 --> 00:52:44,724
Got some good ground,
so I'm excited
to see some gold.
889
00:52:46,068 --> 00:52:48,275
And now it's time for Sam
to mop up what's left.
890
00:52:48,275 --> 00:52:50,241
We're ploughing
through our gold.
That's for sure.
891
00:52:57,517 --> 00:52:58,689
[Sam] All right.
892
00:53:07,620 --> 00:53:08,931
Yeah, pretty much there.
893
00:53:08,931 --> 00:53:10,793
And then you can see
it follow towards this,
894
00:53:10,793 --> 00:53:13,551
where it meets the sand
and there's that
big wide strip.
895
00:53:13,551 --> 00:53:14,241
[Sam speaking]
896
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Hell yeah!
897
00:53:25,034 --> 00:53:25,689
[Sam speaking]
898
00:53:26,758 --> 00:53:27,413
Whoo!
899
00:53:29,241 --> 00:53:29,896
[Nate speaking]
900
00:53:45,034 --> 00:53:45,689
[Sam speaking]
901
00:54:03,586 --> 00:54:04,344
[groans]
902
00:54:06,137 --> 00:54:08,758
Any luck of finding
where it's at in the hose?
903
00:54:12,379 --> 00:54:13,000
[Sam speaking]
904
00:54:17,275 --> 00:54:18,448
[screams]
905
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:20,965
[Zeke] Rock jam.
906
00:54:20,965 --> 00:54:22,724
That's a bummer for sure.
907
00:54:22,724 --> 00:54:24,482
But honestly,
if it's gonna happen,
908
00:54:24,482 --> 00:54:26,965
it might as well be
in the last hour
or two of the season,
909
00:54:26,965 --> 00:54:29,413
after you've been
crushing it all day.
910
00:54:29,413 --> 00:54:32,172
Don't wear yourself out
if you can't find it.
911
00:54:33,275 --> 00:54:33,931
[Sam speaking]
912
00:54:37,034 --> 00:54:37,689
[Nate speaking]
913
00:54:41,448 --> 00:54:43,793
[Zeke] Usually we'd
pull the hose out
and try to find the rock,
914
00:54:43,793 --> 00:54:45,275
and then pull the rock out.
915
00:54:45,275 --> 00:54:47,206
But we basically
got no time left.
916
00:54:47,206 --> 00:54:49,034
And we've already had
an amazing day.
917
00:54:49,034 --> 00:54:50,793
I'm cool calling
it for the season.
918
00:54:50,793 --> 00:54:52,241
And I think it's beer-thirty.
919
00:54:53,137 --> 00:54:55,758
Hell yeah. Whoo.
920
00:54:55,758 --> 00:54:58,517
I was working a little bit.
Man, there's so much
gold down there,
921
00:54:58,517 --> 00:54:59,931
it's [bleep] awesome.
922
00:54:59,931 --> 00:55:01,827
[Zeke]
This is all working great.
923
00:55:01,827 --> 00:55:03,793
Like, I'm so happy with what
we were able to do this year.
924
00:55:03,793 --> 00:55:05,206
I want to do it again.
925
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,172
[all laugh]
926
00:55:09,655 --> 00:55:10,827
[narrator] 12 miles east.
927
00:55:20,655 --> 00:55:21,689
Are you seeing gold?
928
00:55:23,137 --> 00:55:24,206
[Jeff speaking]
929
00:55:29,310 --> 00:55:31,103
[narrator]
After a season of struggles,
930
00:55:31,103 --> 00:55:32,586
Jane and the team
931
00:55:32,586 --> 00:55:34,862
just might be ending
with a bang
932
00:55:34,862 --> 00:55:37,586
as their last day
might be their best.
933
00:55:38,758 --> 00:55:39,689
[Jeff speaking]
934
00:55:40,413 --> 00:55:41,482
[Jane speaking]
935
00:55:43,310 --> 00:55:44,965
[Jeff speaking]
936
00:55:47,965 --> 00:55:49,379
You're at three hours
right now.
937
00:55:51,310 --> 00:55:53,448
[Jeff speaking]
938
00:55:59,793 --> 00:56:01,275
[Jane speaking]
939
00:56:01,931 --> 00:56:03,137
[Jeff speaking]
940
00:56:04,758 --> 00:56:05,586
Okay.
941
00:56:07,931 --> 00:56:10,689
Wow, Jeff had a trouble-free
awesome dive.
942
00:56:10,689 --> 00:56:12,896
I'm kind of in
a state of shock.
943
00:56:12,896 --> 00:56:14,896
After this, maybe we'll
get Eddie down
944
00:56:14,896 --> 00:56:17,206
and then maybe
lightning will strike twice.
945
00:56:17,206 --> 00:56:18,862
I guess it took
to the very last day
946
00:56:18,862 --> 00:56:20,620
for us to get
our crap together.
947
00:56:21,551 --> 00:56:22,655
[Jeff speaking]
948
00:56:22,655 --> 00:56:23,965
Yeah, let's check out the box.
949
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,344
[Jeff speaking]
950
00:56:29,689 --> 00:56:30,793
[bleep]
951
00:56:35,068 --> 00:56:36,241
[bleep]
952
00:56:36,241 --> 00:56:37,344
Well, that's [bleep].
953
00:56:39,172 --> 00:56:41,482
[Jane speaking]
954
00:56:41,482 --> 00:56:43,689
Yeah. I don't know how.
955
00:56:44,965 --> 00:56:46,551
[Jane] Unreal.
956
00:56:46,551 --> 00:56:48,965
One of the screens
that separates the gold
957
00:56:48,965 --> 00:56:51,448
from the other material
popped out.
958
00:56:51,448 --> 00:56:53,793
So now it's at the bottom
of the Bering Sea somewhere.
959
00:56:53,793 --> 00:56:55,379
Along with half the gold
960
00:56:55,379 --> 00:56:57,379
from the last three hours
that was on it.
961
00:56:57,379 --> 00:56:59,551
Seriously, all the way down
to the last day,
962
00:56:59,551 --> 00:57:00,862
we are still a hot mess.
963
00:57:02,206 --> 00:57:04,103
- [grunts]
- That's irritating.
964
00:57:06,448 --> 00:57:07,379
[Jane] What a bummer.
965
00:57:09,896 --> 00:57:12,862
[Jeff]
Just sucks losing the screen.
Like, that's a lot of material
966
00:57:12,862 --> 00:57:14,275
that just got taken out
of the box.
967
00:57:15,862 --> 00:57:19,068
It just bums me out,
because, you know,
968
00:57:19,068 --> 00:57:22,620
blow out $4,000
or $5,000 in 20 minutes.
969
00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:24,241
[Jeff] Probably more
than that, yeah.
970
00:57:24,241 --> 00:57:25,344
That's what I'm saying.
971
00:57:27,724 --> 00:57:29,275
Do we want to just try
and get the screen
972
00:57:29,275 --> 00:57:31,655
back in the box and run more?
973
00:57:31,655 --> 00:57:34,034
I think the odds of finding
that screen right now
974
00:57:34,034 --> 00:57:36,620
- are going to be
like slim to none.
- Low.
975
00:57:36,620 --> 00:57:38,655
[Jeff] I just don't
even have access to
any more screens.
976
00:57:39,344 --> 00:57:40,379
And so it doesn't make sense
977
00:57:40,379 --> 00:57:42,413
to do a dive if we don't
have a back screen.
978
00:57:44,758 --> 00:57:48,137
We can't get it back.
So do we just wrap it up?
979
00:57:51,965 --> 00:57:55,344
We might as well just...
just wrap it up.
980
00:57:57,655 --> 00:58:00,586
[Jane] What an embarrassing,
crappy way to end the season.
981
00:58:00,586 --> 00:58:02,482
But it's par for the course
this winter.
982
00:58:03,241 --> 00:58:04,758
I guess I'd be kidding myself
983
00:58:04,758 --> 00:58:07,034
if I expected
anything different.
984
00:58:07,034 --> 00:58:09,724
That's sad, man.
That makes me really upset.
985
00:58:16,551 --> 00:58:19,689
[Jeff]
We'll just clean the box,
and we'll call it a season.
986
00:58:29,241 --> 00:58:32,379
[Vernon] Well, that's it,
guys. Our last hole.
987
00:58:32,379 --> 00:58:33,620
The start of the season,
988
00:58:33,620 --> 00:58:36,310
I was damned
near [bleep] dead.
989
00:58:36,310 --> 00:58:39,000
I hung in there, and these
guys hung in there too.
990
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,758
We got some gold, and, uh,
991
00:58:41,758 --> 00:58:44,241
we finally got hot water, air.
992
00:58:44,241 --> 00:58:47,793
But by the time
we worked out the problems,
993
00:58:47,793 --> 00:58:49,241
we were on the last hole.
994
00:58:49,241 --> 00:58:51,689
[narrator] It was not the
season he had hoped for.
995
00:58:51,689 --> 00:58:54,310
But at least
Vernon Adkison is ending
996
00:58:54,310 --> 00:58:56,241
with a little something
on the scale.
997
00:58:57,517 --> 00:58:59,931
[Vernon]
Nice little pile there.
998
00:58:59,931 --> 00:59:01,827
Weigh it up and see
what it came out to.
999
00:59:02,689 --> 00:59:04,689
We did not go quietly.
1000
00:59:04,689 --> 00:59:07,034
We had two good divers
to end it,
1001
00:59:07,034 --> 00:59:09,551
and hopefully there's some
good numbers coming our way.
1002
00:59:10,241 --> 00:59:11,620
God knows we could use it.
1003
00:59:11,620 --> 00:59:13,896
Every speck is welcome
at this point.
1004
00:59:15,931 --> 00:59:16,965
All right.
1005
00:59:18,344 --> 00:59:25,206
Okay, there's one,
two, three, four.
1006
00:59:27,448 --> 00:59:29,034
Four point six nine.
1007
00:59:29,034 --> 00:59:31,482
All right. Pretty damn sweet.
1008
00:59:32,413 --> 00:59:33,724
[narrator] 4.69 ounces
1009
00:59:33,724 --> 00:59:36,413
is worth nearly $9,000,
1010
00:59:36,413 --> 00:59:38,965
bringing the surly captain's
season total
1011
00:59:38,965 --> 00:59:42,068
to 17.87 ounces,
1012
00:59:42,068 --> 00:59:45,448
ringing in at $34,000.
1013
00:59:45,448 --> 00:59:50,965
Now it's over, and at least
we got some gold.
1014
00:59:50,965 --> 00:59:53,793
It's not the first
disappointing season I've had,
1015
00:59:53,793 --> 00:59:55,586
but hopefully
it'll be the last.
1016
00:59:55,586 --> 00:59:57,275
All we can do
is lick our wounds
1017
00:59:57,275 --> 00:59:59,931
and get ready for
a big summer campaign,
1018
00:59:59,931 --> 01:00:01,724
because we're going
to need to crush it
1019
01:00:01,724 --> 01:00:03,620
to make up for this winter.
1020
01:00:03,620 --> 01:00:04,965
Some years it just feels like
1021
01:00:04,965 --> 01:00:06,724
I'm banging my head
against the wall,
1022
01:00:06,724 --> 01:00:08,103
and other years I hit.
1023
01:00:08,103 --> 01:00:10,862
I would like to get on
a continuous streak
1024
01:00:10,862 --> 01:00:14,103
of hitting like every year,
1025
01:00:14,103 --> 01:00:16,620
but that day
has not come quite yet.
1026
01:00:18,448 --> 01:00:20,965
Anyway, that's the name
of that tune.
1027
01:00:20,965 --> 01:00:22,068
[narrator] Back on the ice.
1028
01:00:26,517 --> 01:00:28,068
[Eddie speaking]
1029
01:00:28,758 --> 01:00:29,931
[Jeff speaking]
1030
01:00:29,931 --> 01:00:32,793
[narrator] After losing
one of their screens,
1031
01:00:32,793 --> 01:00:36,482
Jane and the team are trying
to turn lemons into lemonade,
1032
01:00:36,482 --> 01:00:40,103
searching for every speck
of gold they can find.
1033
01:00:40,103 --> 01:00:43,413
[Eddie] Losing the screen,
we lost 40% of our box,
1034
01:00:43,413 --> 01:00:44,827
so it is what it is.
1035
01:00:45,448 --> 01:00:46,793
[Jane speaking]
1036
01:00:46,793 --> 01:00:48,482
- I hope so.
- Finish strong.
1037
01:00:49,379 --> 01:00:50,586
It's not easy, but right now
1038
01:00:50,586 --> 01:00:52,758
we have to de-box
half full people,
1039
01:00:52,758 --> 01:00:55,000
instead of un-box
half empty people.
1040
01:00:57,275 --> 01:00:58,931
[whistles]
1041
01:00:58,931 --> 01:01:01,034
[Jane] I mean, look,
Jeff had a good dive,
1042
01:01:01,034 --> 01:01:03,689
so maybe there's still
a big number on the scale.
1043
01:01:03,689 --> 01:01:05,000
I can only hope at this point.
1044
01:01:07,931 --> 01:01:08,896
I see gold, Eddie.
1045
01:01:09,551 --> 01:01:10,586
[Eddie speaking]
1046
01:01:10,586 --> 01:01:11,275
[Jane] Yeah.
1047
01:01:12,275 --> 01:01:14,275
Oh, there we go.
Look at that.
1048
01:01:14,275 --> 01:01:16,000
- [Eddie] I like it.
- [Jeff] Yeah.
1049
01:01:16,862 --> 01:01:17,965
[Jane] Oh, wow.
1050
01:01:19,103 --> 01:01:19,758
Nice pile.
1051
01:01:20,103 --> 01:01:21,310
Sexy.
1052
01:01:21,310 --> 01:01:22,448
[Eddie speaking]
1053
01:01:22,448 --> 01:01:23,413
[Jeff speaking]
1054
01:01:25,034 --> 01:01:27,241
We're finally seeing some
good gold come through.
1055
01:01:27,241 --> 01:01:28,448
[Eddie speaking]
1056
01:01:28,448 --> 01:01:30,689
[Jane speaking]
1057
01:01:30,689 --> 01:01:33,034
So hopefully we're
going to end this season
on a high note,
1058
01:01:33,034 --> 01:01:35,068
like one of Emily's
high notes. She's a soprano.
1059
01:01:35,724 --> 01:01:37,275
And not a trombone.
1060
01:01:37,275 --> 01:01:38,862
[mimics trombone]
1061
01:01:38,862 --> 01:01:40,551
Is that the sound
a trombone makes?
1062
01:01:40,551 --> 01:01:42,000
Okay, moment of truth.
1063
01:01:46,586 --> 01:01:50,448
One ounce, two ounces,
three ounces.
1064
01:01:50,448 --> 01:01:52,206
[Eddie] Show me five.
1065
01:01:52,206 --> 01:01:54,344
- Showing you five ounces.
- Whoo!
1066
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,896
[Eddie] Six point one six.
1067
01:02:00,862 --> 01:02:02,000
Wow.
1068
01:02:03,862 --> 01:02:08,275
[narrator] 6.16 ounces
is just shy of $12,000.
1069
01:02:08,724 --> 01:02:09,689
Sweet.
1070
01:02:09,689 --> 01:02:11,413
- It's the season, so...
- I'll take it.
1071
01:02:11,413 --> 01:02:15,310
[narrator] Bringing the team's
season haul to 11.12 ounces
1072
01:02:15,310 --> 01:02:18,413
worth just over 21,000 bucks.
1073
01:02:18,413 --> 01:02:20,413
Pretty good for
a brand-new operation.
1074
01:02:20,413 --> 01:02:22,379
- And a rookie diver.
- [Jeff] New diver.
1075
01:02:22,379 --> 01:02:24,275
First ice mining season
for Jane, you know?
1076
01:02:24,275 --> 01:02:25,896
- [Eddie] Yeah.
- I learned a lot.
1077
01:02:27,310 --> 01:02:30,068
We did not get rich,
and we did not reach our goal.
1078
01:02:30,068 --> 01:02:32,206
We even lost gold in the end.
1079
01:02:32,206 --> 01:02:33,551
Like, who loses gold?
1080
01:02:33,931 --> 01:02:35,103
We do.
1081
01:02:35,103 --> 01:02:38,965
But I see this as the
first year of a new startup.
1082
01:02:38,965 --> 01:02:41,206
And we definitely came
a long way in the end.
1083
01:02:41,206 --> 01:02:43,034
I just hope
Emily sees it that way
1084
01:02:43,034 --> 01:02:44,517
when I give her
the final stats.
1085
01:02:44,517 --> 01:02:47,310
So, end of season,
everybody's happy,
everybody wins?
1086
01:02:47,310 --> 01:02:48,655
[Jane] Yeah.
1087
01:02:48,655 --> 01:02:50,172
I can't wait to do it again.
1088
01:02:50,172 --> 01:02:51,103
[Jane] Whoo!
1089
01:02:52,172 --> 01:02:53,482
[laughing]
1090
01:02:53,482 --> 01:02:54,827
[all laughing]
1091
01:02:56,724 --> 01:02:58,275
[Jane] Okay, sorry.
1092
01:02:58,275 --> 01:03:01,517
[narrator] The Riedel camp
may have called it a season,
1093
01:03:01,517 --> 01:03:03,862
but two teams
are still working away.
1094
01:03:08,482 --> 01:03:09,517
[Shawn] All right!
1095
01:03:10,172 --> 01:03:11,448
Yeah!
1096
01:03:11,448 --> 01:03:12,275
Whoo-hoo!
1097
01:03:13,620 --> 01:03:16,310
Gold's flowing
like a fine wine.
1098
01:03:16,310 --> 01:03:17,482
[laughing]
1099
01:03:18,689 --> 01:03:22,068
[narrator] Shawn Pomrenke
is ending his season in style.
1100
01:03:22,724 --> 01:03:23,724
Booyah!
1101
01:03:23,724 --> 01:03:26,137
Keep sending it into the box.
1102
01:03:26,137 --> 01:03:30,034
[Shawn] Nice pieces of gold
coming up the hose right now.
1103
01:03:30,965 --> 01:03:32,344
Go on up the hose.
1104
01:03:32,344 --> 01:03:33,241
Let's go.
1105
01:03:34,758 --> 01:03:36,724
Nice, coarse-looking gold.
1106
01:03:38,896 --> 01:03:42,000
Is this going to make for
a strong finish to the year?
1107
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,206
[Shawn]
I think we're going
to finish strong, buddy.
1108
01:03:45,034 --> 01:03:46,034
Booyah.
1109
01:03:46,034 --> 01:03:48,586
[Shawn] How many hours
is that, boys?
1110
01:03:48,586 --> 01:03:50,551
You're at about
five hours now, Shawn.
1111
01:03:51,620 --> 01:03:52,689
[Shawn] Whoo!
1112
01:03:52,689 --> 01:03:54,689
I got this hole finished up.
1113
01:03:54,689 --> 01:03:56,206
I'm going to get outta here.
1114
01:03:56,206 --> 01:03:57,241
That's a wrap.
1115
01:03:59,482 --> 01:04:01,137
Strong finish
for the year here.
1116
01:04:02,827 --> 01:04:04,517
[Shawn] Wow,
talk about a comeback.
1117
01:04:04,517 --> 01:04:06,482
I wish the whole day
could have been that good.
1118
01:04:06,482 --> 01:04:08,862
Hell, I wish the whole season
could have been that good.
1119
01:04:08,862 --> 01:04:09,896
But I'll take it.
1120
01:04:09,896 --> 01:04:11,758
Hell, yeah, I'll take it.
1121
01:04:11,758 --> 01:04:14,137
We got about 20,000 pounds
worth of gear
1122
01:04:14,137 --> 01:04:15,379
out here on the ice
1123
01:04:15,379 --> 01:04:18,689
that we're going to get the
hell off before we go through.
1124
01:04:18,689 --> 01:04:20,172
Look at it, it's all rotten.
1125
01:04:21,620 --> 01:04:23,379
Water on top of the ice.
1126
01:04:24,310 --> 01:04:27,000
I'm pretty sure
we blew past our goal.
1127
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,827
But the question is,
by how much?
1128
01:04:30,172 --> 01:04:31,586
Yeah!
1129
01:04:32,344 --> 01:04:33,275
Whoo!
1130
01:04:35,206 --> 01:04:38,172
[narrator] As Shawn Pomrenke
takes the gravy train home
1131
01:04:38,172 --> 01:04:39,620
eight miles east...
1132
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,379
[John speaking]
1133
01:04:49,896 --> 01:04:51,758
[Chris speaking]
1134
01:04:51,758 --> 01:04:53,413
[John speaking]
1135
01:04:53,413 --> 01:04:55,931
[narrator] Chris McCully's
been living on Wall Street,
1136
01:04:55,931 --> 01:04:59,965
and now he's cashing out on
his final dive of the season.
1137
01:05:00,655 --> 01:05:02,379
[Chris speaking]
1138
01:05:26,862 --> 01:05:28,000
[John] I hear you.
1139
01:05:29,172 --> 01:05:31,103
[Chris speaking]
1140
01:05:42,655 --> 01:05:43,931
[John] Yeah, that'll be nice.
1141
01:05:43,931 --> 01:05:46,827
Start the summer season off
good right here.
1142
01:05:46,827 --> 01:05:48,206
[Chris speaking]
1143
01:05:48,689 --> 01:05:49,551
Whoo-hoo!
1144
01:05:52,241 --> 01:05:53,793
[John speaking]
1145
01:05:53,793 --> 01:05:55,448
Now pull your umbilical out.
1146
01:05:58,724 --> 01:05:59,965
[Chris speaking]
1147
01:06:04,103 --> 01:06:04,965
[John] Booyah!
1148
01:06:10,517 --> 01:06:12,379
[Chris speaking]
1149
01:06:14,413 --> 01:06:15,758
Well, what can I say?
1150
01:06:15,758 --> 01:06:17,620
I couldn't have asked
for more this season.
1151
01:06:17,620 --> 01:06:20,620
And to end like this,
on gold that hot,
1152
01:06:20,620 --> 01:06:23,241
I really wanted to make
a big statement this winter,
1153
01:06:23,241 --> 01:06:25,413
and we more than did that.
1154
01:06:25,413 --> 01:06:27,586
I can't wait to see
that gold on a scale.
1155
01:06:27,586 --> 01:06:29,517
Not bad for my last dive.
1156
01:06:30,275 --> 01:06:32,275
Look at this. Killed it.
1157
01:06:32,275 --> 01:06:34,103
Gotta be 20 ounces in there.
1158
01:06:34,103 --> 01:06:37,724
After we clean this box,
that will seal the deal.
1159
01:06:37,724 --> 01:06:38,827
[John] Heck, yeah.
1160
01:06:38,827 --> 01:06:40,896
Whoo. Yeah.
1161
01:06:44,689 --> 01:06:46,689
That's it.
That's all she wrote.
1162
01:06:46,689 --> 01:06:48,000
We're done!
1163
01:06:51,655 --> 01:06:55,241
[narrator] And now,
another episode of
"Social Hour with Vernon".
1164
01:06:55,241 --> 01:06:57,448
Sometimes I just have
to cheer myself up
1165
01:06:57,448 --> 01:06:59,517
and check the social media.
1166
01:07:00,586 --> 01:07:03,241
[Vernon reading]
1167
01:07:05,689 --> 01:07:06,620
The thing about it is,
1168
01:07:06,620 --> 01:07:08,379
I don't lose that much
gold every season.
1169
01:07:08,379 --> 01:07:11,275
I lose gold some season,
and I make gold some season.
1170
01:07:11,275 --> 01:07:14,206
But this season,
I gotta own it. It was a bust.
1171
01:07:14,655 --> 01:07:16,241
[man speaking]
1172
01:07:16,241 --> 01:07:18,620
[Vernon]
I didn't get nearly the gold
1173
01:07:18,620 --> 01:07:20,689
it would take
to cover my expenses.
1174
01:07:20,689 --> 01:07:22,379
I had health problems.
1175
01:07:22,379 --> 01:07:23,758
[grunts]
1176
01:07:23,758 --> 01:07:26,689
I need to talk
to the heart doctor
is what I need to do.
1177
01:07:26,689 --> 01:07:28,379
But damn it,
I showed up the day
1178
01:07:28,379 --> 01:07:29,827
after I got out
of the hospital,
1179
01:07:29,827 --> 01:07:31,758
and I've been here ever since,
plugging away.
1180
01:07:31,758 --> 01:07:34,620
I had enough in reserve
to keep me in the game,
1181
01:07:34,620 --> 01:07:37,655
and I remain optimistic
1182
01:07:37,655 --> 01:07:39,724
that the day will come
when I hit.
1183
01:07:39,724 --> 01:07:41,482
And I'm not quitting.
1184
01:07:41,482 --> 01:07:43,655
That's the main thing
in the gold game
1185
01:07:43,655 --> 01:07:45,310
and the game of life.
1186
01:07:45,310 --> 01:07:47,344
If you quit, you don't win.
1187
01:07:47,344 --> 01:07:49,068
[narrator] This has been
another episode of--
1188
01:07:49,068 --> 01:07:51,862
I'll be here every damn season
that rolls around
1189
01:07:51,862 --> 01:07:54,689
until they roll me into
that hole in the ground,
1190
01:07:54,689 --> 01:07:58,068
or more preferably,
I'd prefer to go
1191
01:07:58,068 --> 01:08:00,896
to Davy Jones' locker,
if you don't mind.
1192
01:08:00,896 --> 01:08:03,275
Just roll me off
the side of the boat,
1193
01:08:03,275 --> 01:08:05,241
- put a couple of shackles
around my ankles...
- [water splashing]
1194
01:08:05,241 --> 01:08:06,448
...and call it good.
1195
01:08:06,448 --> 01:08:10,000
But in the meantime, as long
as I can keep coming back,
1196
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,655
I'll keep coming back.
1197
01:08:11,655 --> 01:08:14,275
We'll see how it plays out,
stay tuned.
1198
01:08:14,275 --> 01:08:17,551
[narrator] This has been
another episode of
"Social Hour with Vernon".
1199
01:08:17,551 --> 01:08:18,586
[water splashes]
1200
01:08:27,724 --> 01:08:29,620
[in old-time accent]
We're pannin', see!
1201
01:08:29,620 --> 01:08:31,724
There's gold
in these hills, boys.
1202
01:08:31,724 --> 01:08:33,275
- There's gold.
- [laughing]
1203
01:08:33,275 --> 01:08:35,034
We struck gold.
1204
01:08:36,310 --> 01:08:38,137
[narrator] The Tenhoff Gang
is ready for their
1205
01:08:38,137 --> 01:08:40,206
final clean-out of winter.
1206
01:08:40,206 --> 01:08:41,689
[Zeke in normal voice]
Last pan of the season...
1207
01:08:45,793 --> 01:08:48,379
I'm feeling good,
and it's been a
great day under the ice.
1208
01:08:48,379 --> 01:08:50,482
I feel like hitting
our 25-ounce goal
1209
01:08:50,482 --> 01:08:51,758
is totally within reach.
1210
01:08:54,379 --> 01:08:56,000
I'm loving the way
we're ending this season.
1211
01:08:56,689 --> 01:08:57,758
What do we got here?
1212
01:08:58,379 --> 01:08:59,551
Boom, there's an ounce.
1213
01:09:02,206 --> 01:09:03,551
Two ounces, yep.
1214
01:09:04,620 --> 01:09:05,275
Four.
1215
01:09:06,620 --> 01:09:07,655
Fiver, oh, dude.
1216
01:09:08,620 --> 01:09:10,379
Six? Hell yeah.
1217
01:09:10,379 --> 01:09:12,206
Dude, we're gonna
breach eight. Watch this.
1218
01:09:13,586 --> 01:09:14,931
Dude!
1219
01:09:16,482 --> 01:09:19,241
Dude, that's a pleasant
surprise right there.
1220
01:09:20,655 --> 01:09:23,448
Almost ten,
almost ten ounces.
1221
01:09:23,448 --> 01:09:24,793
[Zeke] That was a good haul.
1222
01:09:24,793 --> 01:09:29,517
[narrator] 9.61 ounces
is worth over $18,000,
1223
01:09:29,517 --> 01:09:32,275
bringing the Mad Genius'
winter haul
1224
01:09:32,275 --> 01:09:35,448
to an impressive 31.2 ounces
1225
01:09:35,448 --> 01:09:39,620
and banking a very cool
59 grand.
1226
01:09:39,620 --> 01:09:40,724
I haven't filled
one of these up
1227
01:09:40,724 --> 01:09:42,275
in a season yet, but I will.
1228
01:09:43,413 --> 01:09:44,793
This summer.
1229
01:09:44,793 --> 01:09:47,620
I mean, this is like
27 ounces of gold.
1230
01:09:47,620 --> 01:09:49,689
Probably worth like, I mean,
1231
01:09:49,689 --> 01:09:51,241
approaching $60,000.
1232
01:09:52,310 --> 01:09:54,413
What a season.
I love the setup.
1233
01:09:54,413 --> 01:09:55,758
We had a great team,
1234
01:09:55,758 --> 01:09:58,137
and we even ended
with our best one-day total,
1235
01:09:58,137 --> 01:09:59,482
in God knows how long.
1236
01:09:59,482 --> 01:10:01,137
I'm really happy
with how everything went,
1237
01:10:01,137 --> 01:10:03,379
and it's got me really
primed and motivated
1238
01:10:03,379 --> 01:10:05,379
for heading into
this next summer season.
1239
01:10:05,379 --> 01:10:06,896
I'm happy with where we're at.
1240
01:10:06,896 --> 01:10:08,034
I'm really, I'm like,
1241
01:10:08,034 --> 01:10:10,103
feeling waves of relief
now that like,
1242
01:10:10,103 --> 01:10:12,724
we're pulling all our stuff
off the ice.
1243
01:10:12,724 --> 01:10:14,896
I'm so happy with what
we're able to do this year.
1244
01:10:21,068 --> 01:10:22,793
[Kris] Right now we're going
into the first cleanup
1245
01:10:22,793 --> 01:10:24,413
from the ice pool.
1246
01:10:24,413 --> 01:10:28,068
[narrator]
Kris Kelly's last cleanout
of winter is also his first,
1247
01:10:28,068 --> 01:10:30,482
as the captain hopes to prove
1248
01:10:30,482 --> 01:10:32,896
the merit of
his beloved crawler.
1249
01:10:34,068 --> 01:10:38,344
And I'm hoping, praying,
to see 10 ounces.
1250
01:10:38,344 --> 01:10:40,310
Ten ounces would
be nice, dude.
1251
01:10:40,310 --> 01:10:41,689
That's what I need.
1252
01:10:41,689 --> 01:10:43,310
That would be...
that's necessary.
1253
01:10:45,137 --> 01:10:48,172
[Kris]
So we started the season
with 75 ounces as our goal.
1254
01:10:48,172 --> 01:10:51,689
Audible to 20, now we're
adjusting again to 10.
1255
01:10:51,689 --> 01:10:53,862
Look, I just need something
to give me hope
1256
01:10:53,862 --> 01:10:55,103
that moving forward,
1257
01:10:55,103 --> 01:10:57,931
the crawler is the future
of Reaper Nation.
1258
01:10:57,931 --> 01:10:59,620
And now that we've
gotten the kinks out,
1259
01:10:59,620 --> 01:11:01,275
big times are ahead.
1260
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:03,344
Huge, in fact.
1261
01:11:03,344 --> 01:11:04,482
Okay, that's it.
1262
01:11:05,724 --> 01:11:06,896
Jesus.
1263
01:11:09,206 --> 01:11:11,482
It really doesn't even
look like five ounces.
1264
01:11:13,206 --> 01:11:15,310
Okay, well,
whatever we got, we got it.
1265
01:11:19,620 --> 01:11:21,344
Oh, man.
1266
01:11:21,344 --> 01:11:22,482
So we got four ounces.
1267
01:11:24,275 --> 01:11:25,517
Four ounces.
1268
01:11:25,517 --> 01:11:27,068
So that's terrible.
1269
01:11:27,068 --> 01:11:31,068
[narrator]
4.5 ounces is worth about
8,500 bucks for the season.
1270
01:11:31,758 --> 01:11:33,379
The entire season.
1271
01:11:34,068 --> 01:11:36,068
Oh, well, you know,
1272
01:11:36,068 --> 01:11:38,620
let's not cry
over spilled gold.
1273
01:11:38,620 --> 01:11:41,620
You know, this total right now
may seem pathetic.
1274
01:11:41,620 --> 01:11:43,310
And it is, I admit that.
1275
01:11:43,310 --> 01:11:44,827
But I'm writing
this season off
1276
01:11:44,827 --> 01:11:46,482
as research and development.
1277
01:11:46,482 --> 01:11:47,758
Okay, we're ready to go.
1278
01:11:50,034 --> 01:11:51,413
And now that
we got this crawler
1279
01:11:51,413 --> 01:11:53,172
firing on all four cylinders,
1280
01:11:53,172 --> 01:11:54,965
I think sky's the limit.
1281
01:11:54,965 --> 01:11:56,724
In fact, this summer season
coming up
1282
01:11:56,724 --> 01:11:58,689
could be our best season ever.
1283
01:11:58,689 --> 01:12:00,344
Let's just push forward
1284
01:12:00,344 --> 01:12:02,862
and hopefully just
goes better for me.
1285
01:12:02,862 --> 01:12:05,103
And between my crawler,
the Mistress
1286
01:12:05,103 --> 01:12:06,827
and all the other things
I got planned,
1287
01:12:06,827 --> 01:12:08,448
no one's going to have
a better plan
1288
01:12:08,448 --> 01:12:09,827
than I am this year.
1289
01:12:09,827 --> 01:12:10,689
Trust me.
1290
01:12:11,413 --> 01:12:12,862
I know I always say it,
1291
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,827
but next year will be better.
1292
01:12:15,827 --> 01:12:17,448
A lot better.
1293
01:12:17,448 --> 01:12:18,482
[narrator] Meanwhile,
1294
01:12:19,758 --> 01:12:22,034
500 miles south
in Homer, Alaska.
1295
01:12:26,068 --> 01:12:26,896
[Jane] Emily.
1296
01:12:28,310 --> 01:12:29,586
[Emily] Hey.
1297
01:12:29,586 --> 01:12:30,931
Oh, my goodness.
1298
01:12:30,931 --> 01:12:32,586
Hey, welcome back.
1299
01:12:32,586 --> 01:12:34,448
Welcome back to civilization.
1300
01:12:34,448 --> 01:12:36,586
Well, almost civilization.
1301
01:12:36,586 --> 01:12:37,862
This is Evelyn.
1302
01:12:37,862 --> 01:12:39,931
Evelyn Isobel, we decided.
1303
01:12:39,931 --> 01:12:41,689
[Jane] No way. I love it.
1304
01:12:41,689 --> 01:12:44,793
[narrator] With her first
ice season under her belt,
1305
01:12:44,793 --> 01:12:47,655
Jane Kilcher checks in
on another first,
1306
01:12:47,655 --> 01:12:50,586
the first baby in the
Emily Riedel household.
1307
01:12:51,137 --> 01:12:52,862
[Jane speaking]
1308
01:12:52,862 --> 01:12:54,379
- [Emily] I mean--
- [Jane speaking]
1309
01:12:54,379 --> 01:12:56,137
It's definitely not something
I want to do every weekend.
1310
01:12:56,586 --> 01:12:57,827
[both laughing]
1311
01:12:58,965 --> 01:13:01,344
It was a very intense season.
1312
01:13:01,344 --> 01:13:02,724
After all that stress,
1313
01:13:02,724 --> 01:13:04,551
it's really nice
to see my friend.
1314
01:13:04,551 --> 01:13:05,413
And it's just really nice
1315
01:13:05,413 --> 01:13:06,758
to be away
from all that insanity.
1316
01:13:07,379 --> 01:13:08,724
And see the baby.
1317
01:13:08,724 --> 01:13:10,103
'Cause it's the cutest thing.
1318
01:13:10,862 --> 01:13:12,000
Cute little booties.
1319
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,103
Oh, those are awesome.
1320
01:13:15,103 --> 01:13:17,103
Oh, check those out.
1321
01:13:17,103 --> 01:13:18,068
I'm still going
to have to give her
1322
01:13:18,068 --> 01:13:20,793
an end of season report,
which is not great.
1323
01:13:20,793 --> 01:13:25,448
We got 6.1 ounces as our last,
um, clean out and weigh out.
1324
01:13:25,448 --> 01:13:28,172
But that sluice box,
the engine is so powerful.
1325
01:13:28,172 --> 01:13:30,344
It blew out the
back screen completely,
1326
01:13:30,344 --> 01:13:31,896
like into the ocean.
1327
01:13:31,896 --> 01:13:33,724
No, I probably didn't lose
that much gold.
1328
01:13:33,724 --> 01:13:36,172
- That's been my fear
this whole season.
- I know.
1329
01:13:36,172 --> 01:13:37,965
Well, this sluice box
made us lose all the gold.
1330
01:13:37,965 --> 01:13:39,310
We were on really good gold,
1331
01:13:39,310 --> 01:13:42,241
but this sluice box
made us lose it all.
1332
01:13:43,724 --> 01:13:45,413
I've heard that one before.
1333
01:13:45,413 --> 01:13:47,172
I know Jane's
disappointed that
1334
01:13:47,172 --> 01:13:49,206
she didn't make
more gold for the team,
1335
01:13:49,206 --> 01:13:52,034
but I mean, this is her
first time ice mining.
1336
01:13:52,034 --> 01:13:54,758
Like just a little bit
is a miracle.
1337
01:13:54,758 --> 01:13:56,620
Ice mining seems so simple,
1338
01:13:56,620 --> 01:13:59,655
but it's so much harder
than anyone realizes.
1339
01:13:59,655 --> 01:14:02,448
Most people strike out,
but the fact that Jane didn't
1340
01:14:02,448 --> 01:14:04,620
just shows how
badass she really is.
1341
01:14:04,620 --> 01:14:06,482
And, uh, I hope
she sticks with the team.
1342
01:14:08,448 --> 01:14:10,034
Summer's our time
to make money.
1343
01:14:10,034 --> 01:14:11,931
Alex and I, we're heading up
in a couple of months,
1344
01:14:11,931 --> 01:14:14,965
so we're starting
the summer pretty broke,
1345
01:14:14,965 --> 01:14:18,000
but, um, we know
where there's some good gold.
1346
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,000
Hey, if you want
to come up again,
1347
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,172
we'd love to have you.
1348
01:14:20,172 --> 01:14:21,206
I will help.
1349
01:14:22,275 --> 01:14:23,896
I'm thrilled that
Emily still wants me
1350
01:14:23,896 --> 01:14:24,965
to stay with her crew,
1351
01:14:24,965 --> 01:14:26,758
and honestly,
I cannot wait for summer.
1352
01:14:26,758 --> 01:14:29,517
That's the time
when we make a profit.
1353
01:14:29,517 --> 01:14:31,379
I think you will, because we
left a lot of gold for you.
1354
01:14:31,379 --> 01:14:32,655
I know, I know.
1355
01:14:32,655 --> 01:14:35,275
Apparently you blasted it
right out of the box.
1356
01:14:35,275 --> 01:14:37,241
So we just got to go
look for Jeff's tailings
1357
01:14:37,241 --> 01:14:38,862
and we'll be good to go.
1358
01:14:38,862 --> 01:14:39,551
[Jane laughs]
1359
01:14:45,655 --> 01:14:47,827
[narrator] And now it's time
to test your brain muscles
1360
01:14:47,827 --> 01:14:50,103
on the BSG final exam.
1361
01:14:52,034 --> 01:14:53,551
This winter, how many times
1362
01:14:53,551 --> 01:14:56,241
did someone
on the Tenhoff crew
1363
01:14:56,241 --> 01:14:57,551
almost meet their maker?
1364
01:14:58,068 --> 01:14:59,379
[Zeke speaking]
1365
01:15:03,620 --> 01:15:04,586
[groans]
1366
01:15:05,931 --> 01:15:08,068
[Zeke speaking]
1367
01:15:08,068 --> 01:15:09,000
[man] What was that?
1368
01:15:09,517 --> 01:15:10,689
[Zeke speaking]
1369
01:15:20,655 --> 01:15:22,862
[narrator]
How many times this season
1370
01:15:22,862 --> 01:15:25,586
did Jane get into
a screaming match?
1371
01:15:25,586 --> 01:15:26,758
[Eddie] I have
an issue with you
1372
01:15:26,758 --> 01:15:28,758
because you don't know
what the [bleep] is going on.
1373
01:15:28,758 --> 01:15:30,068
I don't say that I do.
1374
01:15:30,068 --> 01:15:32,517
Everyone knows that
I'm very new to all of this.
1375
01:15:36,620 --> 01:15:37,448
[Jane] That's the agreement.
1376
01:15:38,275 --> 01:15:40,551
[Jane] All right. Chill.
1377
01:15:40,551 --> 01:15:44,344
[narrator] How many times
was Vernon forced to lie down?
1378
01:15:45,241 --> 01:15:46,655
I got to go sit down.
1379
01:15:46,655 --> 01:15:48,413
My heart is [bleep] up again.
1380
01:15:48,413 --> 01:15:50,310
[groans] Here it goes again.
1381
01:15:50,310 --> 01:15:52,172
I'm about [bleep]
ready to pass out.
1382
01:15:56,931 --> 01:16:00,758
[narrator] And how many times
did any crew member
toss their cookies?
1383
01:16:01,275 --> 01:16:03,206
[retches]
1384
01:16:03,206 --> 01:16:06,275
Hey, you're not supposed to
[bleep] swallow the gasoline.
1385
01:16:06,275 --> 01:16:07,448
You know that, right?
1386
01:16:09,344 --> 01:16:11,000
[narrator]
Thanks for playing, everyone.
1387
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,482
There will be no prizes.
See you next time.
1388
01:16:16,551 --> 01:16:19,000
[narrator] The fight on
the battlefield is complete.
1389
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,206
And now it's time
for each soldier
to fire their last shot
1390
01:16:23,206 --> 01:16:26,000
and determine a winner
in the great duel of Nome.
1391
01:16:26,758 --> 01:16:28,655
[gunshot]
1392
01:16:33,793 --> 01:16:35,689
[Shawn] Damn,
that was a nice hole.
1393
01:16:35,689 --> 01:16:39,000
Rich looking dirt.
Hard earned.
1394
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,724
Especially as it came
from that one hole mostly.
1395
01:16:41,724 --> 01:16:44,965
Uh-huh. Well,
it was all that one hole.
1396
01:16:44,965 --> 01:16:48,517
I know we crushed it, but the
only question is by how much?
1397
01:16:49,137 --> 01:16:51,068
Nice little pile.
1398
01:16:51,068 --> 01:16:52,758
And then hopefully we'll have
1399
01:16:52,758 --> 01:16:54,586
more than anybody else
in the fleet,
1400
01:16:54,586 --> 01:16:56,551
including Chris McCully.
1401
01:16:56,551 --> 01:16:59,620
Ho-ho-ho. That's a heavy one.
1402
01:16:59,620 --> 01:17:01,344
Yeah, man, it looks good.
1403
01:17:01,344 --> 01:17:03,689
- Real good.
- Looks good, boys.
1404
01:17:04,241 --> 01:17:05,137
Let's see.
1405
01:17:06,517 --> 01:17:08,551
Three, seven,
1406
01:17:08,551 --> 01:17:11,758
- 10, 15, 22...
- What?
1407
01:17:11,758 --> 01:17:13,827
...28, 35.
1408
01:17:15,034 --> 01:17:18,689
- [whistles] 41.75.
- Hell, yeah!
1409
01:17:19,758 --> 01:17:22,206
- [laughing]
- [bleep] yeah.
1410
01:17:22,206 --> 01:17:25,655
- Good job, fellas.
- [bleep] yeah. Suck it up.
1411
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,896
Forty-one, seven, five.
1412
01:17:29,275 --> 01:17:30,689
Nice hole.
1413
01:17:30,689 --> 01:17:32,931
That's what we're looking for.
That's why we moved.
1414
01:17:32,931 --> 01:17:38,344
[narrator] 41.75 ounces
rings in at $79,000,
1415
01:17:38,344 --> 01:17:40,724
bringing Mr. Gold's
season total
1416
01:17:40,724 --> 01:17:47,344
to an impressive 140 ounces
worth over $265,000.
1417
01:17:47,344 --> 01:17:48,586
Could have been better.
1418
01:17:49,275 --> 01:17:51,241
- Never enough.
- Mmm-hmm.
1419
01:17:51,241 --> 01:17:53,551
I mean, come on,
that's just a huge number.
1420
01:17:53,551 --> 01:17:55,724
And a monster haul
on the season.
1421
01:17:55,724 --> 01:17:57,448
I'm not gonna say
it's a done deal,
1422
01:17:57,448 --> 01:17:58,931
but with a total like that,
1423
01:17:58,931 --> 01:18:01,689
I'm feeling pretty confident
that we're untouchable.
1424
01:18:01,689 --> 01:18:02,689
Never enough.
1425
01:18:02,689 --> 01:18:04,241
But it certainly
could have been less.
1426
01:18:04,758 --> 01:18:05,655
[all laughing]
1427
01:18:05,655 --> 01:18:07,551
- Yeah, it could've
been less.
- Yep.
1428
01:18:08,551 --> 01:18:09,862
[narrator] But across town...
1429
01:18:18,931 --> 01:18:22,068
This is it.
Best cleanup of the year.
1430
01:18:22,068 --> 01:18:23,000
Look at that.
1431
01:18:23,482 --> 01:18:24,862
Wow, Chris.
1432
01:18:24,862 --> 01:18:26,344
That's a lot of gold.
1433
01:18:26,344 --> 01:18:28,620
[narrator] It's the
young gun's turn at the scale.
1434
01:18:29,103 --> 01:18:30,482
[Chris] Yeah.
1435
01:18:30,482 --> 01:18:32,344
That's insane, dude.
1436
01:18:32,344 --> 01:18:34,689
We're gonna throw it
in the pot and dry it out.
1437
01:18:35,793 --> 01:18:37,620
Put it on the scale.
1438
01:18:37,620 --> 01:18:39,034
So it all comes down to this.
1439
01:18:39,517 --> 01:18:40,586
Final number.
1440
01:18:40,586 --> 01:18:43,689
Question is, how high
can we go past 100 ounces?
1441
01:18:43,689 --> 01:18:45,862
And are we gonna have
the most gold of anyone?
1442
01:18:45,862 --> 01:18:47,379
I don't know.
1443
01:18:47,379 --> 01:18:48,551
But the way it's looking,
1444
01:18:48,551 --> 01:18:50,448
there's a lot of gold
over there.
1445
01:18:50,448 --> 01:18:52,379
This might be
the biggest haul yet.
1446
01:18:52,965 --> 01:18:54,103
Looking good.
1447
01:18:54,103 --> 01:18:57,379
The pot sounds really good.
1448
01:18:57,379 --> 01:18:59,103
That's the best sound
right there.
1449
01:18:59,103 --> 01:19:00,413
Ready to weigh it out.
1450
01:19:00,413 --> 01:19:01,793
Okay, we're gonna go by grams.
1451
01:19:02,241 --> 01:19:03,517
Here we go.
1452
01:19:07,344 --> 01:19:10,275
So there's 100, 200,
1453
01:19:11,310 --> 01:19:12,620
300...
1454
01:19:13,862 --> 01:19:15,758
400, five,
1455
01:19:16,620 --> 01:19:21,551
6, 7, 8.
1456
01:19:21,551 --> 01:19:24,206
My scale only goes up
to 1,000 grams.
1457
01:19:24,206 --> 01:19:25,344
Are we gonna tip it?
1458
01:19:27,551 --> 01:19:28,793
Yeah, it's okay.
1459
01:19:29,172 --> 01:19:30,758
902.
1460
01:19:32,482 --> 01:19:33,827
So put this aside.
1461
01:19:33,827 --> 01:19:35,689
And we still have more
left in the pot.
1462
01:19:36,689 --> 01:19:40,000
We got another 238.
1463
01:19:41,655 --> 01:19:45,103
That's a total of 1,140 grams.
1464
01:19:45,827 --> 01:19:47,172
That's 36 ounces.
1465
01:19:48,206 --> 01:19:50,068
- Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah.
1466
01:19:50,068 --> 01:19:51,172
[all] Good job.
1467
01:19:51,172 --> 01:19:53,241
Wow, dude.
1468
01:19:53,241 --> 01:19:55,172
I'm a little shaky, but...
1469
01:19:55,724 --> 01:19:56,586
[whistles]
1470
01:19:57,275 --> 01:19:58,517
Good feeling.
1471
01:19:58,517 --> 01:20:02,758
[narrator] 36 ounces,
cashes in at over $68,000,
1472
01:20:02,758 --> 01:20:08,344
raising Chris's mammoth season
total to 148 ounces
1473
01:20:08,344 --> 01:20:12,793
worth a hefty $281,000.
1474
01:20:12,793 --> 01:20:13,931
- Wow.
- Damn, dude.
1475
01:20:15,137 --> 01:20:18,896
[narrator] Easily blowing past
his 100-ounce goal
1476
01:20:18,896 --> 01:20:22,034
and surpassing every
other member of the fleet
1477
01:20:22,034 --> 01:20:24,689
for the season,
even Shawn Pomrenke.
1478
01:20:25,172 --> 01:20:26,137
Good job, guys.
1479
01:20:26,137 --> 01:20:27,344
Thank you, thank you, guys.
1480
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:28,655
Good job.
1481
01:20:29,655 --> 01:20:31,620
Good feeling, dude.
[bleep] killed it.
1482
01:20:32,241 --> 01:20:33,310
Wow. [laughs]
1483
01:20:33,310 --> 01:20:34,758
What a feeling.
1484
01:20:34,758 --> 01:20:36,827
So I had high hopes
for this season,
1485
01:20:36,827 --> 01:20:39,620
and we have accomplished them
and more.
1486
01:20:39,620 --> 01:20:42,172
I'm so proud of the job
that we've done,
1487
01:20:42,172 --> 01:20:44,931
and there's no doubt
that this guy right here
1488
01:20:44,931 --> 01:20:47,206
is the top player in town.
1489
01:20:47,206 --> 01:20:49,206
So, Nome, better watch out.
1490
01:20:49,206 --> 01:20:51,724
Yeah, dude, let's get
you guys paid, huh?
1491
01:20:51,724 --> 01:20:53,103
[bleep] yeah, dude.
1492
01:20:53,103 --> 01:20:55,206
Feels so good
to get paid, man.
1493
01:20:55,206 --> 01:20:57,724
- Vacation time.
- Vacation.
1494
01:20:57,724 --> 01:20:59,448
[Chris] Dude, I'm happy, man.
1495
01:20:59,448 --> 01:21:00,689
Dude, we killed it.
1496
01:21:01,931 --> 01:21:03,241
[narrator]
In a stunning upset,
1497
01:21:03,241 --> 01:21:06,137
the newest member
of the fleet, Chris McCully,
1498
01:21:06,137 --> 01:21:09,344
edges out Mr. Gold,
Shawn Pomrenke,
1499
01:21:09,344 --> 01:21:10,896
for top spot of the season.
1500
01:21:12,275 --> 01:21:13,758
This summer...
1501
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,517
All right, you sawbelly
son of [bleep],
let's go mining.
1502
01:21:21,448 --> 01:21:23,931
Every morning,
what are you gonna look for?
Gold!
1503
01:21:23,931 --> 01:21:25,758
We're gonna keep
that gold rolling in.
1504
01:21:25,758 --> 01:21:28,413
[narrator] ...revolution
is in the air.
1505
01:21:28,413 --> 01:21:30,931
I love this crane.
It makes more possible.
1506
01:21:30,931 --> 01:21:32,620
Ooh, we're like clockwork
out here.
1507
01:21:32,620 --> 01:21:34,206
Okay. Now you can go.
1508
01:21:34,206 --> 01:21:35,551
It's gold time.
1509
01:21:36,172 --> 01:21:37,724
Whoo!
1510
01:21:37,724 --> 01:21:41,793
This dredge is a 14-inch
suction dredge,
a custom made suction dredge.
1511
01:21:41,793 --> 01:21:44,310
It is the most powerful
ever made.
1512
01:21:44,310 --> 01:21:48,310
We basically use
the gantry to lower
everything into the water.
1513
01:21:48,310 --> 01:21:52,206
You can process
more yardage per hour
than Christine Rose can.
1514
01:21:53,344 --> 01:21:55,034
- So this is it, huh?
- Yeah.
1515
01:21:55,034 --> 01:21:56,241
Looks like Frankenstein.
1516
01:21:56,241 --> 01:21:59,482
[Kris] Gonna use that boat
to launch my crawler.
1517
01:21:59,482 --> 01:22:02,310
We're gonna go to a depth
where nobody can dive at.
1518
01:22:02,310 --> 01:22:06,000
I know there's a bunch of
untouched gold sitting there
and I'm going to get it.
1519
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,344
We're gonna get chunks
of gold that big this year.
1520
01:22:08,344 --> 01:22:11,137
This is the future of mining.
1521
01:22:11,137 --> 01:22:13,724
A lot of people around here
call it the short bus,
1522
01:22:13,724 --> 01:22:15,241
because it's got a short bus
on it.
1523
01:22:15,931 --> 01:22:16,965
The lights flash.
1524
01:22:16,965 --> 01:22:17,758
[alarm blaring]
1525
01:22:18,620 --> 01:22:20,793
This chair was designed
for my ass.
1526
01:22:24,689 --> 01:22:26,310
What? Oh!
1527
01:22:26,310 --> 01:22:27,310
[baby crying]
1528
01:22:28,965 --> 01:22:30,689
I'll make a thousand ounces
for the year.
1529
01:22:30,689 --> 01:22:32,517
It's like 1.8 million dollars.
1530
01:22:32,517 --> 01:22:33,862
[narrator]
But every revolution...
1531
01:22:33,862 --> 01:22:35,586
Half of that [bleep] is mine!
1532
01:22:35,586 --> 01:22:36,827
[bleep] private money that I--
1533
01:22:36,827 --> 01:22:38,275
[bleep] I'll see you in court.
1534
01:22:38,275 --> 01:22:39,103
[narrator] ...has its battles.
1535
01:22:40,137 --> 01:22:42,482
[Kris] Doesn't wanna turn. Dammit.
1536
01:22:42,482 --> 01:22:44,551
Stop! Stop!
1537
01:22:44,793 --> 01:22:46,517
Hey!
1538
01:22:46,517 --> 01:22:47,827
[narrator] And nothing
in Nome...
1539
01:22:49,551 --> 01:22:51,068
We got a big blow coming in.
1540
01:22:51,724 --> 01:22:53,413
Hurricane force winds.
1541
01:22:53,413 --> 01:22:55,413
[narrator] ...will ever
be the same.
1542
01:22:55,413 --> 01:22:58,172
No one in
the gold mining fleet has ever
experienced a storm like this.
1543
01:22:58,172 --> 01:22:59,758
[siren blaring]
1544
01:22:59,758 --> 01:23:01,206
We're gonna have to evacuate.
1545
01:23:01,827 --> 01:23:02,586
[bleep]
1546
01:23:02,586 --> 01:23:03,827
[Kris] We're sinking.
1547
01:23:03,827 --> 01:23:06,724
I'm not leaving without
my [bleep] gold!
1548
01:23:06,724 --> 01:23:08,551
I could lose every boat
I own.
1549
01:23:11,551 --> 01:23:12,689
[Jane speaking]
1550
01:23:15,758 --> 01:23:17,068
Oh man!
1551
01:23:20,275 --> 01:23:21,275
This thing could explode.
1552
01:23:21,275 --> 01:23:22,517
- Move back!
- He's trying to get us out.
1553
01:23:22,517 --> 01:23:24,068
So let's move back.
1554
01:23:24,068 --> 01:23:25,310
[Shawn] This is crazy.
1555
01:23:28,689 --> 01:23:30,068
Everybody's screwed.
