1
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:12,033
Hey, dude,
we got a problem, man.

2
00:00:12,033 --> 00:00:13,200
Go ahead.

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,000
These Kellys
just will not back off me.

4
00:00:18,266 --> 00:00:20,533
Well, he's gonna get
a rude awakening.

5
00:00:20,533 --> 00:00:23,300
I ain't gonna let him
get away with this [bleep].

6
00:00:24,767 --> 00:00:26,033
[bleep] damn.

7
00:00:26,033 --> 00:00:27,567
They think this is their ocean?

8
00:00:27,567 --> 00:00:30,133
I don't think so.
I'm here to stay.

9
00:00:30,133 --> 00:00:31,867
We're gonna move into position

10
00:00:31,867 --> 00:00:33,200
and defend our hole.

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,834
No one takes
from me this season.

12
00:00:35,834 --> 00:00:37,667
We're going to war,
it looks like.

13
00:00:38,567 --> 00:00:39,967
Battle stations!

14
00:00:42,433 --> 00:00:45,133
Kris is about ready
to get his [bleep] ass kicked.

15
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:48,200
Shawn wants a war,
I'll give him one.

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,500
He's gonna [bleep] lose.

17
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:51,100
Hey, water blaster.

18
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:54,934
Stupid Kris Kelly,

19
00:00:54,934 --> 00:00:57,133
thinking he's gonna
with my guys?

20
00:00:57,133 --> 00:00:59,033
That's doesn't fly with me.

21
00:00:59,033 --> 00:01:01,033
We're gonna take
this fight to them.

22
00:01:01,033 --> 00:01:03,900
This
right now.

23
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:18,934
A Golden Empire.

24
00:01:20,934 --> 00:01:23,467
It's the ultimate dream
of every miner.

25
00:01:25,467 --> 00:01:27,967
To become one of the giants,

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,634
royalty in the
gold mining game.

27
00:01:32,734 --> 00:01:35,367
This summer,
some will look to grow

28
00:01:35,367 --> 00:01:36,934
their gold-filled kingdoms,

29
00:01:38,266 --> 00:01:40,500
while for others,
this could finally prove

30
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:42,834
to be their time to join

31
00:01:42,834 --> 00:01:44,300
the exclusive ranks

32
00:01:45,433 --> 00:01:47,834
as the known chessboard
takes shape

33
00:01:48,667 --> 00:01:51,834
and the clash
of empires begins.

34
00:02:05,533 --> 00:02:06,867
Big year this year.

35
00:02:07,967 --> 00:02:09,166
I'm gonna get the guys together

36
00:02:09,166 --> 00:02:11,533
and come up with a game plan.

37
00:02:11,533 --> 00:02:14,133
In Nome,
only one superpower

38
00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:16,300
has dominated
the gold mining game

39
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:17,400
for decades,

40
00:02:18,266 --> 00:02:19,900
the Pomrenke Empire.

41
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:21,567
Yeah.

42
00:02:21,567 --> 00:02:24,834
And its captain,
known simply as Mr. Gold.

43
00:02:24,834 --> 00:02:27,200
Mr. Gold's gonna get some gold.

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,667
Two thousand ounces,
here we come.

45
00:02:30,667 --> 00:02:33,533
Starting alongside
father Steve 20 years ago...

46
00:02:33,533 --> 00:02:35,867
Thanks for the gold, boys.
Keep it up.

47
00:02:35,867 --> 00:02:38,767
Shawn Pomrenke
has become a mining legend.

48
00:02:38,767 --> 00:02:41,333
I've never seen that
much gold all at one time.

49
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,900
- Oh.
- Yeah.

50
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:47,800
Building the family business
into a sprawling,

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,600
- dominant force...
- Whoa.

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,166
season after season.

53
00:02:51,166 --> 00:02:53,300
This is more money
than some people make

54
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:54,300
in a lifetime.

55
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,000
Producing levels of gold

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,867
virtually unchallenged.

57
00:02:57,867 --> 00:02:59,333
We're gonna need
a bigger scale.

58
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:00,767
Yeah.

59
00:03:00,767 --> 00:03:01,934
And now,

60
00:03:01,934 --> 00:03:03,934
he's unveiling his battle plan

61
00:03:03,934 --> 00:03:05,967
to remain on top.

62
00:03:05,967 --> 00:03:08,367
Got a lot
of moving parts this year.

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,066
Last summer was about
acquiring all the assets

64
00:03:14,066 --> 00:03:16,667
I needed to take over Nome.

65
00:03:16,667 --> 00:03:18,867
This summer
is about unleashing them.

66
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:23,333
That land mine
is a moneymaker.

67
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:26,066
Now that I got it
wrestled away from my dad,

68
00:03:26,066 --> 00:03:27,767
it's gonna make
mountains of gold.

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,767
On the water,
I got the Christine Rose,

70
00:03:31,767 --> 00:03:34,033
which is the true
moneymaking machine,

71
00:03:34,867 --> 00:03:36,634
and the new crown jewel,

72
00:03:36,634 --> 00:03:38,467
the Myrtle Irene.

73
00:03:38,467 --> 00:03:39,634
Unlike last summer,

74
00:03:39,634 --> 00:03:42,133
I'll have her ready on day one.

75
00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:44,734
Finally, I'm adding
the Tenhoff's suction dredge,

76
00:03:44,734 --> 00:03:46,567
the Havilah, to the mix.

77
00:03:46,567 --> 00:03:49,200
It'll get out onto
deeper water than I can reach

78
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,233
with the Myrtle
and Christine Rose.

79
00:03:51,233 --> 00:03:53,400
Now, it's time to assemble
the team,

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,033
layout to plan, get to work.

81
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:58,133
What's up, guys?

82
00:03:58,133 --> 00:04:00,166
We got a big year
ahead of us, boys.

83
00:04:00,767 --> 00:04:03,767
Myrtle, Christine Rose,

84
00:04:03,767 --> 00:04:06,100
Havilah's going in this year.

85
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:07,567
We got a lot
of operations going,

86
00:04:07,567 --> 00:04:09,000
a lot of people.

87
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:13,900
Off shore,
we got our west track.

88
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:16,300
What do you think
of hitting on the east side

89
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:17,634
of that track?

90
00:04:24,467 --> 00:04:26,567
Yeah. Well,
the Myrtle should be able

91
00:04:26,567 --> 00:04:28,300
to hit that next line out,

92
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:30,333
so hopefully there's some
good gold out there.

93
00:04:30,333 --> 00:04:32,467
- Yeah.
- So maybe we can get

94
00:04:32,467 --> 00:04:34,600
the Havilah over there
to do some mining.

95
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,133
Yeah.

96
00:04:45,133 --> 00:04:47,734
But, I mean, if we keep
everything up and running,

97
00:04:47,734 --> 00:04:49,700
keep all the moving parts moving

98
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:51,533
and we don't break stuff,

99
00:04:51,533 --> 00:04:54,867
we should have
a smasher of a year.

100
00:04:54,867 --> 00:04:57,967
We should be able
to do 3,000 plus ounces.

101
00:04:57,967 --> 00:04:59,600
That'd be nice.

102
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,400
It'd be real nice.

103
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,734
This year,
I'm going for 3,000 ounces.

104
00:05:03,734 --> 00:05:05,233
Last year, I went for 2,000.

105
00:05:05,233 --> 00:05:07,734
I thought that was crazy.

106
00:05:07,734 --> 00:05:09,867
The only way to stay
ahead of the competition

107
00:05:09,867 --> 00:05:12,567
is constantly pushing
and expanding.

108
00:05:12,567 --> 00:05:15,400
With the money it takes to
keep this operation running,

109
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,533
I'm gonna need every last flake.

110
00:05:17,533 --> 00:05:20,233
Let's get those bolts ready,
and once the bolts are ready,

111
00:05:20,233 --> 00:05:21,867
we'll start moving some dirt,

112
00:05:21,867 --> 00:05:23,200
and let's get her done.

113
00:05:23,934 --> 00:05:25,300
You guys got it?

114
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:27,000
- Got it.
- Nice.

115
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,700
Get out of here, go to work.

116
00:05:30,233 --> 00:05:33,100
Mr. Gold may be
alone at the top for now,

117
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,066
but across town...

118
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:40,200
Right off the bat,
beginning of the season,

119
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,934
we're looking
towards the future.

120
00:05:41,934 --> 00:05:43,700
This is gonna be my hardest,

121
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:46,567
most stressful season on record.

122
00:05:46,567 --> 00:05:48,934
For years,
Kris Kelly and his family

123
00:05:48,934 --> 00:05:50,400
have fought tooth and nail.

124
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,700
Come on, you fat [bleep].

125
00:05:54,367 --> 00:05:57,100
Clawing their way
up from the bottom.

126
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:58,300
Ah!

127
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:00,667
With plenty
of wrong turns along the way.

128
00:06:02,467 --> 00:06:03,634
Whoa.

129
00:06:03,634 --> 00:06:04,867
I'm okay, everybody,

130
00:06:04,867 --> 00:06:06,200
in case anyone's
wondering.

131
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:08,834
But this season,

132
00:06:08,834 --> 00:06:11,734
the feisty captain's
launching an ambitious plan

133
00:06:11,734 --> 00:06:15,467
to vault into the same league
as Shawn Pomrenke,

134
00:06:15,467 --> 00:06:18,600
by establishing
a new rival empire

135
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,967
on the Bering Sea.

136
00:06:22,266 --> 00:06:23,900
I've already been working
the last two months,

137
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:25,133
12 hours a day,

138
00:06:25,133 --> 00:06:26,934
trying to start
the Reaper Nation.

139
00:06:26,934 --> 00:06:28,834
I came up
on the best opportunity

140
00:06:28,834 --> 00:06:30,767
that I've ever had in my life.

141
00:06:30,767 --> 00:06:33,634
My friend James Barkley
went bankrupt last year,

142
00:06:33,634 --> 00:06:36,300
didn't make enough gold,
so I swooped in,

143
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:38,166
and I saved the day
with my friend.

144
00:06:38,166 --> 00:06:40,100
And I... Of course,
I don't have the money,

145
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,834
so I had to call
my lifetime great friend,

146
00:06:42,834 --> 00:06:44,300
Kevin Adaimy.

147
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:46,266
So Kevin came up
with the money.

148
00:06:46,266 --> 00:06:48,233
I came up with an amazing plan,

149
00:06:48,233 --> 00:06:50,600
and we split the Mistress
straight down the middle.

150
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,700
It's almost like a fairy tale
that happened.

151
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:54,100
All these years,

152
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:56,600
the Kellys have been
on the bottom tier,

153
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,000
suction dredgers,
just trying to scrape by,

154
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,100
but those days are over.

155
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:03,600
I'm now half owner
of an excavation barge

156
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,066
just like
high and mighty Mr. Gold.

157
00:07:06,066 --> 00:07:08,400
And that's just the tip
of the iceberg.

158
00:07:11,867 --> 00:07:13,767
What up, Kris?

159
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:16,700
What's up, baby?
What's going on [bleep]?

160
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:18,166
- What's happening, brother?
- Yeah. Yeah.

161
00:07:18,166 --> 00:07:20,600
- How are you, man?
- I am great.

162
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,300
Kevin is a friend and, well,
he's loaded,

163
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:25,967
so he's the investor
on this plan.

164
00:07:25,967 --> 00:07:27,266
He's bringing the money.

165
00:07:27,266 --> 00:07:28,634
I'm bringing the brains.

166
00:07:28,634 --> 00:07:30,533
I'm excited to be here, man.

167
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:33,033
So now,
it's time to unveil the plans

168
00:07:33,033 --> 00:07:34,433
for the Reaper Nation.

169
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:49,800
Okay. Thanks,
everybody, for coming.

170
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,166
I just wanna go over my plan

171
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:53,367
for the biggest season
of our lives.

172
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,367
We're gonna attack
the battlefield

173
00:07:59,367 --> 00:08:01,533
from all sides this summer.

174
00:08:01,533 --> 00:08:03,967
Kevin and I will be in charge
of the Mistress,

175
00:08:04,867 --> 00:08:06,266
and we'll be working with James

176
00:08:06,266 --> 00:08:09,200
who knows that barge
inside and out.

177
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,800
My dad and brother
are heading up

178
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,734
the new and improved reaper,

179
00:08:12,734 --> 00:08:14,333
all built from scratch.

180
00:08:14,333 --> 00:08:16,333
We're using the equipment
we bought last winter

181
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:18,900
to build a top-of-the-line
eight-inch dredge,

182
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:21,133
the biggest we've ever used.

183
00:08:21,133 --> 00:08:23,100
It'll bring in more gold
than we've ever gotten

184
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,900
on a suction dredge before.

185
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:26,300
It's huge.

186
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:29,800
We're aiming for complete
domination this summer.

187
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,767
First off the bat,
I'll have the Mistress

188
00:08:31,767 --> 00:08:33,600
starting with James's help
this year.

189
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,033
We're gonna be working as a team

190
00:08:35,033 --> 00:08:36,767
and putting that together,
try to find a crew

191
00:08:36,767 --> 00:08:38,967
that we can run 24 hours a day,

192
00:08:38,967 --> 00:08:41,667
and process a lot of material.
We have the Reaper.

193
00:08:41,667 --> 00:08:43,900
The Reaper this year
is an eight-inch operation,

194
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:45,867
bigger boat,
better put together.

195
00:08:45,867 --> 00:08:48,867
I hope to God we see at least
200 ounces out of that thing.

196
00:08:50,166 --> 00:08:52,400
We'll be using it to prospect
for the Mistress,

197
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,500
making sure we can get
on some big deposit.

198
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,467
How are we supposed
to get 200 ounces

199
00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:58,300
if we're looking for gold
for you, guys?

200
00:08:58,300 --> 00:08:59,634
Because you will.
Don't worry about it.

201
00:08:59,634 --> 00:09:00,934
- Oh, we will, huh?
- Yeah.

202
00:09:00,934 --> 00:09:02,634
- Okay. Okay. Okay.
- Don't worry, man.

203
00:09:02,634 --> 00:09:05,100
I don't depend on you
to do too much other than,

204
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:06,667
you know,
be your circus routine that...

205
00:09:06,667 --> 00:09:08,066
- I will.
- you usually do.

206
00:09:08,066 --> 00:09:09,700
Don't you worry about it.
We'll still get more gold
than you guys.

207
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:11,233
You do what you're
good at and everybody else.

208
00:09:11,233 --> 00:09:12,333
I will.

209
00:09:12,333 --> 00:09:14,300
Where are we gonna be
mining at, Kris, this year?

210
00:09:15,433 --> 00:09:17,867
We made a deal
you get on Tomcod this year.

211
00:09:17,867 --> 00:09:20,266
We're gonna mine right
next to Shawn all year long.

212
00:09:21,133 --> 00:09:23,066
Exactly.
And I don't really care.

213
00:09:29,066 --> 00:09:32,367
So yeah, we're gonna be mining
a Tomcod right next to Shawn.

214
00:09:32,367 --> 00:09:35,967
James is grandfathered in
to buying on the Tomcod claim

215
00:09:35,967 --> 00:09:37,600
with no restrictions.

216
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,934
We can go anywhere
on that claim we want.

217
00:09:39,934 --> 00:09:41,266
I mean, come on.

218
00:09:41,266 --> 00:09:42,767
If we're gonna try
to form an empire

219
00:09:42,767 --> 00:09:44,266
that takes on the big boys,

220
00:09:44,266 --> 00:09:45,934
we got to go
where the big gold is.

221
00:09:46,767 --> 00:09:49,433
And Shawn has no idea
it's coming.

222
00:09:49,433 --> 00:09:51,834
Well, I'm not worried
about Shawn.

223
00:09:51,834 --> 00:09:54,667
We're in a race
against ourselves to get rich.

224
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:56,567
Kevin's invested
a bit of money this year,

225
00:09:56,567 --> 00:09:58,100
and he wants his money back.

226
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,166
And James, you know,
I mean, I don't wanna fail.

227
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:02,500
I'm a winner. I'm not a loser.
I've built a lot of companies.

228
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:04,367
You know, we have to push
the envelope a little bit,

229
00:10:04,367 --> 00:10:06,433
and we got to really try
to make this money back.

230
00:10:06,433 --> 00:10:08,233
I'm stoked that
I'm part of the Reaper Nation.

231
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:09,834
I don't see
why it's not gonna work.

232
00:10:09,834 --> 00:10:11,233
There's no other way to go
but up.

233
00:10:11,233 --> 00:10:13,033
We'll definitely make
our 500 ounces.

234
00:10:13,033 --> 00:10:15,166
I'm excited.
I'm ready to get in the water.

235
00:10:15,166 --> 00:10:17,467
I've been waiting
my whole life for this.

236
00:10:17,467 --> 00:10:19,834
Reaper Nation.
Five hundred ounces.

237
00:10:19,834 --> 00:10:21,934
Yeah, I said it, 500 ounces.

238
00:10:21,934 --> 00:10:24,900
The new Reaper Nation
is happening now.

239
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:27,200
Fist bump, everybody.
Good job. Good job.

240
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,200
Yeah, baby,
let's get after it this year.

241
00:10:30,133 --> 00:10:31,667
We're at the starting line.

242
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,400
It's time for us
to make that gold.

243
00:10:43,133 --> 00:10:47,800
Throughout Nome,
a clash of empires is raging,

244
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,767
and one salty veteran
is finally making his move.

245
00:10:54,333 --> 00:10:56,133
We're off to the races.

246
00:10:56,133 --> 00:10:59,166
I just got back
a couple of days ago

247
00:10:59,166 --> 00:11:03,033
and, uh, it's as though
I never left.

248
00:11:03,033 --> 00:11:05,333
This summer,
Vernon Adkison's ready

249
00:11:05,333 --> 00:11:07,834
to transition
his booming operation

250
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:09,000
into a kingdom.

251
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,533
We're ready
to rock and roll.

252
00:11:10,533 --> 00:11:13,834
Right out there is my claim, 56.

253
00:11:13,834 --> 00:11:17,300
There are literally thousands

254
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:21,567
and thousands
of ounces of gold on 56.

255
00:11:21,567 --> 00:11:24,100
So now, all we got to do
is just go out there

256
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:27,967
and take our withdrawals
from the gold bank.

257
00:11:31,367 --> 00:11:34,367
Vernon's on one
of the richest claims
in Nome.

258
00:11:34,367 --> 00:11:36,200
- Yeah.
- That's our best cleanout yet.

259
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,100
But it's been
a long and winding road
to success.

260
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:40,700
I don't see any gobble.

261
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:43,166
For years,
Vernon struggled

262
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:44,667
season after season.

263
00:11:46,934 --> 00:11:49,333
Total financial ruin.
That's what I'm looking at.

264
00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:50,800
Losing his shirt.

265
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,300
[bleep].

266
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:53,867
And sometimes his mind.

267
00:11:53,867 --> 00:11:56,066
What do you mean I don't know
what I'm [bleep] doing?

268
00:11:56,066 --> 00:11:57,834
But, last summer,

269
00:11:57,834 --> 00:12:01,734
Vernon got ahold of Claim 56,

270
00:12:01,734 --> 00:12:04,433
and now, he just might have
the hottest hand in Nome.

271
00:12:04,433 --> 00:12:06,433
I can work 56
for the rest of the time

272
00:12:06,433 --> 00:12:07,467
I'm on this planet.

273
00:12:10,533 --> 00:12:13,700
I'm easily on the best claim
I've ever been on.

274
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:17,100
I think 56 puts Tomcod to shame.

275
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,533
That's why I'm calling it
Kingdom 56.

276
00:12:20,533 --> 00:12:23,200
I'm planning on 300 ounces
this summer.

277
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,000
Not only am I gonna keep
gobbling up the gold,

278
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,834
but I'm gonna have
some operators out there

279
00:12:28,834 --> 00:12:32,133
mining for me
who are gonna pay me a royalty

280
00:12:32,133 --> 00:12:34,433
to make me even richer.

281
00:12:34,433 --> 00:12:37,133
I've got three or four
top quality people

282
00:12:37,133 --> 00:12:39,133
working the claim,
paying me royalties.

283
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:40,934
If they're doing well,

284
00:12:40,934 --> 00:12:43,300
I'll be making as much
in royalties

285
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:45,767
as I will from the crew
of the gold ship.

286
00:12:45,767 --> 00:12:48,767
Hell, I would never even have
to go out there again myself.

287
00:12:48,767 --> 00:12:50,400
But, uh,
it's not gonna be that way.

288
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,634
I'm gonna be out there.

289
00:12:53,033 --> 00:12:54,800
There are some people up here
that think

290
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,066
they're the premier dynasty
in the gold mining business.

291
00:12:58,066 --> 00:12:59,433
Well, watch out.

292
00:12:59,433 --> 00:13:01,533
I'm in an ideal situation.

293
00:13:01,533 --> 00:13:03,433
Best claim on the Bering Sea,

294
00:13:03,433 --> 00:13:04,934
collecting royalties

295
00:13:04,934 --> 00:13:07,100
while I keep collecting
the super gold.

296
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:09,166
56 is truly my kingdom,

297
00:13:09,166 --> 00:13:11,367
and I believe
by the end of the summer,

298
00:13:11,367 --> 00:13:14,100
I'll be the undisputed
king of Nome.

299
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,433
People sometimes compare me
to Shawn.

300
00:13:16,433 --> 00:13:19,567
But, uh,
he better watch his ass,

301
00:13:19,567 --> 00:13:22,767
because I think
I can clean his clock.

302
00:13:31,533 --> 00:13:33,433
One Fall Fetch is ready to go?

303
00:13:33,433 --> 00:13:34,934
All right. Well, hell,
let's do it.

304
00:13:34,934 --> 00:13:37,800
Take it out for a spin,
see how it works.

305
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,734
I'm starting off the season
with a killer claim,

306
00:13:40,734 --> 00:13:43,867
but my crew won't be quite
as killer as last summer.

307
00:13:43,867 --> 00:13:47,333
Unfortunately, I'm not gonna
have my two Garys with me.

308
00:13:47,333 --> 00:13:49,367
But I do have Bryan Wilder,

309
00:13:49,367 --> 00:13:51,567
who injured himself last summer

310
00:13:51,567 --> 00:13:53,867
and had to end
his diving campaign.

311
00:13:53,867 --> 00:13:55,667
But hopefully,
he's up to snuff.

312
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:59,400
And then I have Max

313
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,634
who will be making his
dive debut on the Gold Ship.

314
00:14:02,634 --> 00:14:04,333
It's not much of a royal court,

315
00:14:04,333 --> 00:14:06,467
but as long as I become king,

316
00:14:06,467 --> 00:14:08,667
it doesn't matter
how I get there.

317
00:14:10,467 --> 00:14:11,600
Here we go.

318
00:14:14,166 --> 00:14:17,133
I'm pretty excited
about getting back into gold.

319
00:14:17,133 --> 00:14:19,000
We're going out
to the super gold site.

320
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,667
We've been hammering it
last summer and winter

321
00:14:21,667 --> 00:14:23,600
and there's still
lots of good gold.

322
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,600
And we're gonna clean it up.

323
00:14:27,767 --> 00:14:29,066
Okay. We're here.

324
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:36,767
What in the hell
is going on?

325
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:43,533
He's got it right now.

326
00:14:43,533 --> 00:14:44,767
They're on my claim.

327
00:14:46,967 --> 00:14:48,834
And I mean the old,
uh, rule of thumb,

328
00:14:48,834 --> 00:14:50,433
if you caught somebody
claim jumping

329
00:14:50,433 --> 00:14:53,300
or stealing out of your box,

330
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,100
you have the right
to shoot them.

331
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:56,400
Get the potato gun ready.

332
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,033
Yeah, we got
that damn potato gun

333
00:14:58,033 --> 00:15:00,967
and take their heads off
from a hundred yards away.

334
00:15:00,967 --> 00:15:02,400
We're gonna go over there.

335
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200
And I'm telling you,
he's right on top of our spot.

336
00:15:06,533 --> 00:15:08,567
We're headed out
to the super gold site,

337
00:15:08,567 --> 00:15:11,767
the spot where we found
the sweetest gold.

338
00:15:11,767 --> 00:15:13,467
And there's some yahoo on it.

339
00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:16,066
If they think they can
squeeze out some of my gold,

340
00:15:16,066 --> 00:15:18,166
they got another thing coming.

341
00:15:18,166 --> 00:15:19,767
We'll shoo them away so fast

342
00:15:19,767 --> 00:15:21,567
that they'll be crying
for their mamas.

343
00:15:23,166 --> 00:15:24,467
Unfortunately,

344
00:15:25,233 --> 00:15:27,100
that fellow right over there,

345
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:31,066
that's one
of my authorized operators.

346
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:35,967
He's paying me a royalty,

347
00:15:35,967 --> 00:15:38,266
but he's right on top
of super gold.

348
00:15:39,867 --> 00:15:41,100
So, uh...

349
00:15:43,367 --> 00:15:45,166
I hadn't really expected that.

350
00:15:47,467 --> 00:15:49,100
So I told these guys
they could have

351
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,500
carte blanche out here,
and then one of them

352
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:53,834
popped down right on top
of my spot.

353
00:15:53,834 --> 00:15:56,333
But look, this is how
you expand a kingdom.

354
00:15:56,333 --> 00:15:58,233
You let the workers go out

355
00:15:58,233 --> 00:16:00,233
and give you royalties
from one spot,

356
00:16:00,233 --> 00:16:01,800
while I go out and tap

357
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,000
into a new pastry
someplace else.

358
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,567
The good news is,
there's unlimited gold on 56.

359
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:10,200
I've just got to find
a new hotspot and get to work.

360
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,667
We have not had any trouble
finding good gold.

361
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:16,867
We're gonna get out there
and tear it up.

362
00:16:16,867 --> 00:16:18,867
It ought to be
a damn good season.

363
00:16:23,634 --> 00:16:24,767
Back in town...

364
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,734
Havilah
hasn't worked in years.

365
00:16:30,734 --> 00:16:33,000
It's in really rough shape.

366
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,767
As Shawn Pomrenke
looks to expand his empire

367
00:16:35,767 --> 00:16:38,734
further than ever before,
he's unleashing

368
00:16:38,734 --> 00:16:40,634
another weapon in his arsenal,

369
00:16:40,634 --> 00:16:42,967
and bringing members
of the fleet

370
00:16:42,967 --> 00:16:44,300
into his army.

371
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:46,567
Talking to Zeke
and Gabe,

372
00:16:46,567 --> 00:16:48,266
I told them
I'd give them 10 grand

373
00:16:48,266 --> 00:16:50,667
to get it up and running.

374
00:16:50,667 --> 00:16:53,200
I wanna go check on
and see what these guys did

375
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,767
with all my money.

376
00:16:55,767 --> 00:16:59,400
The Havilah has been dormant
for the last few seasons.

377
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,266
I'm looking forward
to getting it back

378
00:17:01,266 --> 00:17:03,533
into the fleet
and producing gold.

379
00:17:03,533 --> 00:17:05,300
The problem is,
my crew is stretched

380
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:06,734
pretty thin already,

381
00:17:06,734 --> 00:17:09,533
and so I made a deal
with the Tenhoff boys.

382
00:17:09,533 --> 00:17:10,767
They get it up and running,

383
00:17:10,767 --> 00:17:13,100
they can use it
to mine on Tomcod

384
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:15,000
as long as they give me
a fat percentage

385
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,200
of the gold they find.

386
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:18,533
Oh nice.

387
00:17:18,533 --> 00:17:20,100
It looks good.

388
00:17:21,233 --> 00:17:22,400
How's it going?

389
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,200
- Hey, Shawn. Check it out.
- I like it.

390
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,400
It's all pulled back together.

391
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,967
It was looking
a little worse for wear there

392
00:17:27,967 --> 00:17:29,734
for a while. Neglected.

393
00:17:29,734 --> 00:17:32,567
Looks like you got her
all cleaned up nicely.

394
00:17:32,567 --> 00:17:35,233
New power pack, pump,

395
00:17:35,233 --> 00:17:36,634
the air system.

396
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,533
Motors are running okay?

397
00:17:38,533 --> 00:17:39,800
Everything's
running good, man.

398
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,066
Nice.

399
00:17:41,066 --> 00:17:44,500
I'm bringing Zeke and Gabe
to the Pomrenke Empire.

400
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:46,667
They're already doing
a killer job.

401
00:17:46,667 --> 00:17:49,500
They have the Havilah
looking good already.

402
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:51,166
It's almost ready to go.

403
00:17:51,166 --> 00:17:52,967
They get it out on the Tomcod,

404
00:17:52,967 --> 00:17:54,600
hit the right spots,

405
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,600
they're gonna make me
a lot of gold this summer.

406
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,700
So we're all going
to the Tomcod.

407
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:02,400
I think there's a lot
more gold out there

408
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,300
maybe just a little bit
further to the east.

409
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:07,233
- Okay.
- I've seen some
really good pans

410
00:18:07,233 --> 00:18:08,400
come out of there.

411
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,233
From what I've seen,
there hasn't been

412
00:18:10,233 --> 00:18:12,133
a lot of small dredges
that have literally

413
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,500
explored around that
a whole lot.

414
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:14,667
I think there's probably
something new

415
00:18:14,667 --> 00:18:15,900
to find out there.

416
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,600
In all of 15 years
I've been on the Tomcod,

417
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,133
nobody has ever worked
that area.

418
00:18:21,133 --> 00:18:23,333
There's definitely
some more gold out there.

419
00:18:23,333 --> 00:18:24,600
- Mmm-hmm.
- No [bleep].

420
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,133
Wow. Okay.

421
00:18:26,133 --> 00:18:28,033
That's good to know.

422
00:18:28,033 --> 00:18:29,500
Let's get out there
and get after it.

423
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:30,734
Dude.
Let's make some money.

424
00:18:30,734 --> 00:18:32,200
Yeah.
Get that 10 grand back.

425
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,100
- I will.
- Thanks, Shawn.

426
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:35,433
Yup.
Well, see you, guys.

427
00:18:35,433 --> 00:18:36,734
- Yeah.
- Good luck.

428
00:18:36,734 --> 00:18:38,066
I just wanna go mining.

429
00:18:38,066 --> 00:18:39,467
- I know.
- That's all I wanna do.

430
00:18:39,467 --> 00:18:41,166
There's no doubt in my mind
that we're gonna

431
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,867
crush it out there this summer.

432
00:18:43,967 --> 00:18:47,233
A mining veteran
in Nome, Zeke Tenhoff,

433
00:18:47,233 --> 00:18:49,467
jumped back into the game
last summer

434
00:18:49,467 --> 00:18:51,900
after several seasons
on the sidelines.

435
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:53,133
I love sailboat dredge so much.

436
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:54,767
Dude, it's really fast.

437
00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:56,667
His comeback, though,

438
00:18:56,667 --> 00:18:59,333
failed to live up
to his expectations.

439
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:00,634
One ounce.

440
00:19:02,867 --> 00:19:04,734
Now,
by joining Shawn's team,

441
00:19:04,734 --> 00:19:07,667
he's hoping to be
on the path to riches.

442
00:19:07,667 --> 00:19:09,166
It's super cool
with Shawn.

443
00:19:09,166 --> 00:19:11,767
And I wanna make him some money.

444
00:19:11,767 --> 00:19:14,567
So, Shawn, it seems like
he's just trying to make

445
00:19:14,567 --> 00:19:18,300
his already giant empire
even bigger.

446
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:20,533
But, as it stands,
the opportunity

447
00:19:20,533 --> 00:19:23,200
for my brother and myself
is a good one.

448
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,133
A deal with Shawn
is exactly what we need

449
00:19:25,133 --> 00:19:27,400
to get going this summer.

450
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,567
These guys did
a really nice job on the boat.

451
00:19:30,567 --> 00:19:33,800
Everything's nice,
clean, dialed in.

452
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,533
I think it's gonna do
really well.

453
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,300
I'm happy with the progress.

454
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:40,066
I think I picked
the right people.

455
00:19:41,166 --> 00:19:43,867
Feeling good
about this whole situation.

456
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:46,934
Across town...

00:19:46,934 --> 00:19:48,867

460
00:19:53,533 --> 00:19:55,900
Hello. I am back.

461
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:59,467
So, back for my 11th year
as a gold miner.

462
00:19:59,467 --> 00:20:01,467
One member
of the fleet readies

463
00:20:01,467 --> 00:20:03,800
for a triumphant return
to the battlefield.

464
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,233
I had to bail out
for the winter.

465
00:20:06,233 --> 00:20:08,533
Um, I got COVID in January,

466
00:20:08,533 --> 00:20:10,800
and it lingered for months.

467
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,600
I couldn't really do much
physically, mentally.

468
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,266
It was really,
really a weird illness.

469
00:20:15,266 --> 00:20:17,066
So, I had to walk away.

470
00:20:17,066 --> 00:20:18,634
Yeah.

471
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:20,133
Always one of Nome's

472
00:20:20,133 --> 00:20:22,133
most consistent
gold producers...

473
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:24,867
Fifty-eight.
All right, man, congrats.

474
00:20:24,867 --> 00:20:27,567
Emily Riedel's
successful mining career...

475
00:20:27,567 --> 00:20:28,834
Whoa.

476
00:20:28,834 --> 00:20:32,000
was suddenly
upended this winter.

477
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,867
I got COVID
and it just completely

478
00:20:33,867 --> 00:20:36,233
knocked me and my business
through a loop.

479
00:20:36,233 --> 00:20:38,533
For the first time
in my gold mining career,

480
00:20:38,533 --> 00:20:40,200
I had to bow out of the season.

481
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,100
Getting COVID really couldn't
have happened at a worse time.

482
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:45,767
It, uh, really caused me
to change course.

483
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,800
Now, it's summer season,

484
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,600
and I'm really excited
to be back.

485
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,600
Being down for the count
this winter

486
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,834
really pushed me back.

487
00:20:52,834 --> 00:20:54,900
Everything I've earned
from last summer

488
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:57,533
is, like, mostly gone.
So, we're really...

489
00:20:57,533 --> 00:20:59,800
It's really important
that we get

490
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,400
on some good ground
as soon as possible.

491
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,834
All these years,
I've been able to save

492
00:21:04,834 --> 00:21:07,300
and, uh, essentially build
a nest egg,

493
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:10,233
and now that nest egg
is essentially depleted.

494
00:21:10,233 --> 00:21:12,333
So it's almost like
starting over

495
00:21:12,333 --> 00:21:14,834
but that's not the only change
that's happened.

496
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:20,433
Shawty is just making
some new friends.

497
00:21:20,433 --> 00:21:21,934
Oh, yeah. Yeah, she does.

498
00:21:21,934 --> 00:21:23,133
Hey, girl.

499
00:21:23,133 --> 00:21:24,433
Yeah, she does.

500
00:21:24,433 --> 00:21:26,233
This is, uh,
this is my husband, Alex.

501
00:21:26,233 --> 00:21:27,667
- Hey, baby.
- Hi, baby.

502
00:21:27,667 --> 00:21:29,333
Good to see you.
Good to see you on here.

503
00:21:29,333 --> 00:21:30,900
You make the boat
look much better.

504
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:32,600
Oh, shucks. Thanks.

505
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,767
Yeah, so, uh, I got married

506
00:21:35,767 --> 00:21:37,467
despite not mining.

507
00:21:37,467 --> 00:21:39,233
So I kept myself busy.

508
00:21:39,233 --> 00:21:41,100
- We got a new pup.
- A new puppy. Yup.

509
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,533
Yeah, she's about
nine weeks old.

510
00:21:42,533 --> 00:21:44,433
So we got all sorts
of new crew members this year.

511
00:21:44,433 --> 00:21:45,834
Yeah.

512
00:21:45,834 --> 00:21:47,533
I don't know if this is like
a huge mistake

513
00:21:47,533 --> 00:21:49,333
- or a great idea, but...
- Yeah. We'll...

514
00:21:49,333 --> 00:21:51,367
We're gonna... We're gonna
get her really well-acquainted

515
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:53,333
- with boat life, either way.
- Yeah.

516
00:21:53,333 --> 00:21:55,600
Gold mining isn't just
about me anymore.

517
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,500
I've got a husband
and we wanna start a family.

518
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,467
You're [indistinct] all primed
and ready to make some gold.

519
00:22:01,467 --> 00:22:02,567
Cool.

520
00:22:02,567 --> 00:22:04,634
It's not just about replacing
what I've lost,

521
00:22:04,634 --> 00:22:08,333
it's about starting again
and going even bigger.

522
00:22:08,333 --> 00:22:11,333
I'm looking for 250 ounces
this season,

523
00:22:11,333 --> 00:22:13,467
essentially,
to start a new empire.

524
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:16,233
All right.

525
00:22:21,834 --> 00:22:23,233
We're talking
about the future.

526
00:22:23,233 --> 00:22:24,934
We're talking about a legacy,

527
00:22:24,934 --> 00:22:26,867
so I've got a big job ahead
this season.

528
00:22:28,333 --> 00:22:30,467
I got goose bumps right now
thinking about

529
00:22:30,467 --> 00:22:33,767
if it's as good as it was
when we left last year,

530
00:22:33,767 --> 00:22:35,800
it ought to be
a pretty good day.

531
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,667
I've got Rick back
on the boat with me

532
00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:39,367
and he's an awesome diver,

533
00:22:39,367 --> 00:22:41,533
and we're heading back
to Claim 14.

534
00:22:43,133 --> 00:22:44,834
We just hope
that the visibility

535
00:22:44,834 --> 00:22:46,433
is, uh, workable today.

536
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,700
How the water looks pretty murky

537
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:53,767
and there's a really
nasty little swell.

538
00:22:55,634 --> 00:22:58,400
I might have murked up
the bottom a bit.

539
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,266
I don't care
what the visibility is,

540
00:23:00,266 --> 00:23:02,467
I need to go
check it out regardless.

541
00:23:02,467 --> 00:23:03,634
Let's see what happens.

542
00:23:04,834 --> 00:23:06,667
Conditions are far
from ideal.

543
00:23:06,667 --> 00:23:08,734
In the past, I might have
turned around and been like,

544
00:23:08,734 --> 00:23:10,533
"To hell with it,
we're gonna sit it out."

545
00:23:10,533 --> 00:23:12,066
But not today.

546
00:23:12,066 --> 00:23:14,033
Not for my gold this summer.

547
00:23:27,333 --> 00:23:29,500
How's the visibility?

548
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,967
Woo-hoo!

549
00:24:02,433 --> 00:24:04,367
Oh, that's awesome, dude.
That's great.

550
00:24:04,367 --> 00:24:05,734
Yeah.

551
00:24:05,734 --> 00:24:07,567
Getting a pay streak
right away with Rick

552
00:24:07,567 --> 00:24:09,133
is exactly what we needed.

553
00:24:09,133 --> 00:24:12,634
Oh, golly, dude! Woo!

554
00:24:16,467 --> 00:24:18,233
Hopefully it stays
like this all summer

555
00:24:18,233 --> 00:24:19,834
and we can get
a good war chest going.

556
00:24:22,066 --> 00:24:23,700
We love chunks around here.

557
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:26,400
Me likey.

558
00:24:32,533 --> 00:24:33,734
In Nome...

559
00:24:35,066 --> 00:24:37,300
a new empire is brewing.

560
00:24:39,533 --> 00:24:41,667
Oh, buddy,
it's great to be here, man.

561
00:24:41,667 --> 00:24:43,033
It's great to have you here.

562
00:24:43,033 --> 00:24:45,300
Can we take you in
and show you the investment?

563
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:48,600
You're gonna be so happy
with what I got going on.

564
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,667
Captain Kris Kelly
takes his chief investor

565
00:24:51,667 --> 00:24:54,834
on a tour of the burgeoning
Reaper Nation.

566
00:24:54,834 --> 00:24:57,367
I'm kind of excited
and worried at the same time.

567
00:24:57,367 --> 00:24:59,033
You know how
that fuzzy feeling is, Kris?

568
00:24:59,033 --> 00:25:01,500
Like, I'm not too happy
because of all the money

569
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,533
that I've spent
but at the same time,

570
00:25:03,533 --> 00:25:06,000
I'm excited to see
what you spent the money on.

571
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,500
Go get it. It's right there.
Look at this.

572
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:08,867
This is the big boy dock.

573
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:12,033
- Is this it?
- This is it.

574
00:25:12,033 --> 00:25:13,133
Wow.

575
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:17,834
You're gonna be so happy
with everything.

576
00:25:17,834 --> 00:25:19,634
- We're finally here, baby.
- I mean, look at it.

577
00:25:19,634 --> 00:25:20,900
- Look at this.
- Wow.

578
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:22,734
You know,
look at how enormous it is.

579
00:25:22,734 --> 00:25:24,300
This thing is huge, huge.

580
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:25,667
Wow, buddy.
Huge, big money.

581
00:25:25,667 --> 00:25:27,000
Let's go on the boat now.

582
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,500
Come on. Show me what we got.

583
00:25:29,533 --> 00:25:31,500
I have total confidence
Reaper Nation

584
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,266
is gonna become a force in Nome.

585
00:25:33,266 --> 00:25:35,200
But running
an operation like this

586
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,767
is part of the song and dance.

587
00:25:36,767 --> 00:25:38,900
Making sure the guy
that's supplying

588
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:40,667
the bulk of the money is excited

589
00:25:40,667 --> 00:25:42,967
and believes
in what we're doing.

590
00:25:42,967 --> 00:25:45,200
- The raw pieces
are in this barge.
- Okay.

591
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,634
It's worth a million
and a half dollars,

592
00:25:46,634 --> 00:25:48,266
- just the pieces.
- Right.

593
00:25:48,266 --> 00:25:50,133
- This [bleep] right here--
- What is this big blue box?

594
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:51,533
- A Thrustmaster.
- Okay.

595
00:25:51,533 --> 00:25:53,300
It's probably
the biggest propeller

596
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:54,567
you've ever seen in your life.

597
00:25:54,567 --> 00:25:56,767
Wow. What is this
rusted thing here?

598
00:25:56,767 --> 00:25:58,900
This is our fuel source
of the entire operation.

599
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:01,100
Oh, so this is the fuel here.
I see.

600
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:03,133
You know.
The $100,000 generator.

601
00:26:03,133 --> 00:26:04,467
That's a nice generator.

602
00:26:04,467 --> 00:26:06,200
That's where all my gold
will sit.

603
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,000
You'll be able
to see it stack up.

604
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,800
- Right.
- Excavator,

605
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,266
which has seen better days,

606
00:26:11,266 --> 00:26:12,700
I'll give you that,
but check it out.

607
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:14,734
That excavator looks like
it's waiting to fall apart.

608
00:26:14,734 --> 00:26:16,433
This thing looks like
it's rusted.

609
00:26:16,433 --> 00:26:18,300
- Does it even start?
- Okay. Look it, look it,

610
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:19,634
- jump this back up.
- Oh, man.

611
00:26:19,634 --> 00:26:20,767
- Don't worry about...
Don't worry about this.
- This is--

612
00:26:20,767 --> 00:26:22,266
I got another one.

613
00:26:22,266 --> 00:26:23,800
What do you mean
we got another one?

614
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,100
It's gonna end up costing me
more money for another one.

615
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:27,867
You... Don't worry
about the money, you know.

616
00:26:27,867 --> 00:26:29,467
That's what I'm worried about, Kris.

617
00:26:29,467 --> 00:26:31,166
I'm worried about the money.

618
00:26:31,166 --> 00:26:33,133
This is grungy and rusty.

619
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,033
We're not out here winning
a [bleep] beauty contest,

620
00:26:37,033 --> 00:26:39,166
you know,
we're out here getting gold.

621
00:26:39,166 --> 00:26:40,567
What else are you gonna
show me on this thing?

622
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:42,967
Everything I see
is rust around here.

623
00:26:42,967 --> 00:26:44,800
Is this a flagpole?

624
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,333
No, it's a ladder system.

625
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:49,500
This pulls the spud up
from the top.

626
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:51,467
This actually
was a lot more expensive

627
00:26:51,467 --> 00:26:53,066
than I thought it was gonna be.

628
00:26:53,066 --> 00:26:54,400
Well, how much?

629
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,900
$40,000.

630
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:57,333
You... I spent $40,000
on just this?

631
00:26:57,333 --> 00:26:59,600
No, we didn't.
Yeah, we did. Sure.

632
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,133
This is $40,000?

633
00:27:02,133 --> 00:27:04,066
So Kevin's
a little freaked out.

634
00:27:04,066 --> 00:27:05,600
Okay? I get it.

635
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,100
It might be a lot of money
for what looks like

636
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:10,467
a heap of rusted metal,
but it's not.

637
00:27:13,066 --> 00:27:15,500
The Mistress is gonna
make him and I a fortune,

638
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,333
I'm talking crazy rich.

639
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,133
But that's not all.
I'm also building

640
00:27:20,133 --> 00:27:22,166
a top of the line
bigger Reaper.

641
00:27:22,166 --> 00:27:24,934
It's gonna be
absolutely killer very soon.

642
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,233
What the hell
is this, Kris?

643
00:27:30,233 --> 00:27:32,200
What is this thing, buddy?

644
00:27:33,967 --> 00:27:36,367
Okay. Well, you know,
you can't look at it

645
00:27:36,367 --> 00:27:38,133
- and, uh, judge it
- This is how

646
00:27:38,133 --> 00:27:39,800
you're gonna make money
this year?

647
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,600
- Yup.
- Wow, Kris.

648
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,400
I wasn't expecting
to see this, buddy.

649
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,734
I'm starting to worry here.

650
00:27:44,734 --> 00:27:47,467
Is that thing gonna even float?

651
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:49,233
So I realize nothing's done,

652
00:27:49,233 --> 00:27:50,834
but we're getting close.

653
00:27:50,834 --> 00:27:54,433
We're getting close
to being very close,

654
00:27:54,433 --> 00:27:56,467
but Nome wasn't built in a day.

655
00:27:56,467 --> 00:27:58,700
My vision is super simple.

656
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:01,767
All brand new
eight-inch equipment.

657
00:28:01,767 --> 00:28:03,834
This is a new to us boat.

658
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,734
So, like, right now,
we're taking an old boat

659
00:28:07,734 --> 00:28:09,367
and we're breathing life
into it.

660
00:28:13,166 --> 00:28:14,533
Where's the rest of it?

661
00:28:14,533 --> 00:28:17,233
Uh, this is the...

662
00:28:17,233 --> 00:28:19,333
I have all the engines,
uh, and everything

663
00:28:19,333 --> 00:28:23,400
but really, I have
to start off with structure...

664
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,233
- Mmm-hmm.
- uh, build the cabin,

665
00:28:25,233 --> 00:28:27,533
and then paint it,
and then put everything in.

666
00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:30,166
Well, so when do you expect

667
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:31,600
to have this thing
done here, Kris?

668
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,767
Well, you know, the cabin
should've been done today.

669
00:28:35,533 --> 00:28:38,367
So new plan, the way
to get Kevin excited

670
00:28:38,367 --> 00:28:40,100
and more confident in
what we're doing

671
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,433
is get him out on the water
and get him some gold.

672
00:28:42,433 --> 00:28:44,934
He'll be so filled
with gold fever

673
00:28:44,934 --> 00:28:46,667
they'll probably have
to take him to the hospital.

674
00:28:46,667 --> 00:28:48,000
I'm just hoping
that we make some money.

675
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,367
Don't worry.

676
00:28:49,367 --> 00:28:51,166
- Oh, buddy.
- Stop worrying so much.

677
00:28:51,166 --> 00:28:53,066
I'll try not to worry too much,

678
00:28:53,066 --> 00:28:55,967
I'll try to help you out
in any way that I can.

679
00:28:55,967 --> 00:28:57,133
- We gotta make it happen.
- Don't worry.

680
00:28:57,133 --> 00:28:59,533
It's gonna work 100% for sure.

681
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,166
Oh.

682
00:29:07,166 --> 00:29:08,400
Starting the season off
with a bang.

683
00:29:09,734 --> 00:29:10,934
Literally.

684
00:29:17,667 --> 00:29:19,567
It's a dud. Damn.

685
00:29:21,734 --> 00:29:24,233
Zeke Tenhoff is hoping
his plans for summer

686
00:29:24,233 --> 00:29:26,700
will prove to be explosive.

687
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:28,734
Let's see
if this one will take off.

688
00:29:28,734 --> 00:29:30,266
And won't fizzle out

689
00:29:30,266 --> 00:29:31,967
like they did last season.

690
00:29:31,967 --> 00:29:33,533
Go, go, go, go, go!

691
00:29:36,133 --> 00:29:37,600
No.

692
00:29:40,667 --> 00:29:42,800
I spent most of last summer

693
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,200
tinkering with
the sailboat dredge idea.

694
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,233
It's a fun idea,
I still like it,

695
00:29:48,233 --> 00:29:50,333
but I just ended up with a boat

696
00:29:50,333 --> 00:29:52,500
that I didn't really like
that much

697
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:55,400
that was too difficult
to operate.

698
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,033
After ice mining,

699
00:29:57,033 --> 00:29:58,600
I envisioned, like,
what I needed,

700
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,333
which was like
a large lightweight

701
00:30:00,333 --> 00:30:01,767
inflatable catamaran.

702
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:04,266
I ordered a big pile
of aluminum,

703
00:30:04,266 --> 00:30:05,400
a little drill press,

704
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,066
and I've been assembling
a dredge.

705
00:30:08,767 --> 00:30:10,166
I'm ready to go out mining.

706
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,634
The deal that we have
with the Havilah

707
00:30:14,634 --> 00:30:16,834
is perfect for where
we're at right now.

708
00:30:16,834 --> 00:30:18,767
I was back in the game
last summer,

709
00:30:18,767 --> 00:30:21,634
but I just did not get
enough gold.

710
00:30:21,634 --> 00:30:23,100
When Shawn left me
on the Tomcod,

711
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:24,567
I could start to see

712
00:30:24,567 --> 00:30:26,834
some future
and some possibilities.

713
00:30:26,834 --> 00:30:30,033
After how poorly
we did last summer,

714
00:30:30,033 --> 00:30:31,400
I'm shooting for, like,

715
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,634
somewhere around 50 ounces
to make up for that.

716
00:30:33,634 --> 00:30:36,567
And I've got a plan
to get maximum returns.

717
00:30:38,734 --> 00:30:40,900
Known as
the Mad Scientist of Nome,

718
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:44,066
Zeke has always embraced innovation.

719
00:30:44,066 --> 00:30:46,300
Copper, whole melting device.

720
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:49,033
It'll be our first time
running two sluices
at the same time.

721
00:30:49,033 --> 00:30:51,500
So we're gonna have
double gold today.

722
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:53,133
And this summer,
he's unleashing

723
00:30:53,133 --> 00:30:57,200
yet another of his
out-of-the-box contraptions.

724
00:30:58,133 --> 00:30:59,634
The boat looks good.

725
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:03,467
Red, inflatable pontoons.

726
00:31:03,467 --> 00:31:04,734
Blue hose.

727
00:31:04,734 --> 00:31:07,367
Pump engines, gas tanks,
air compressor,

728
00:31:07,367 --> 00:31:09,333
basically all my mining gear.

729
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:11,400
This boat is big
and I made it super wide

730
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,100
so it's gonna be super stable.

731
00:31:13,767 --> 00:31:15,433
I've gotten a lot of gold

732
00:31:15,433 --> 00:31:19,200
with a lot
dredge than this, for sure.

733
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,500
I designed it to be as light
and fast as possible,

734
00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:23,700
so I can do as much
prospecting as I need to

735
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:25,800
as quickly and efficiently
as I can.

736
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,767
With a small lightweight
dredge like this,

737
00:31:27,767 --> 00:31:31,000
I don't really need a crew
and I don't really need help.

738
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,734
I can maneuver it around
from underwater

739
00:31:32,734 --> 00:31:34,834
and I can tie it
without a tender.

740
00:31:34,834 --> 00:31:37,500
I'm gonna use my rig
to go out and explore

741
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:39,033
a bunch of areas
of untouched ground

742
00:31:39,033 --> 00:31:40,467
that Shawn pointed me towards,

743
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:42,734
while my brother Gabe
gets a crew together

744
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,300
and gets to the Havilah
in the water.

745
00:31:45,066 --> 00:31:47,166
First trip out, good to go.

746
00:31:49,967 --> 00:31:51,700
I pieced the whole thing
together by hand

747
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:53,100
over the last six weeks,

748
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:55,567
so I know that it's strong
and it's not gonna...

749
00:31:55,567 --> 00:31:57,700
Nothing's gonna fall apart.

750
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:00,133
So I'm gonna go out on Tomcod
and test her out.

751
00:32:00,133 --> 00:32:02,433
Basically,
I'll motor out to Tomcod.

752
00:32:02,433 --> 00:32:04,033
And once I find a spot
that's interesting,

753
00:32:04,033 --> 00:32:06,533
I 'll just drop the anchor
down and dive down there,

754
00:32:06,533 --> 00:32:08,867
and I can pull the boat
around behind me

755
00:32:08,867 --> 00:32:11,367
and explore kind of
wherever I feel like

756
00:32:11,367 --> 00:32:13,033
the gold is leading me towards.

757
00:32:20,233 --> 00:32:21,367
We're, like, right about

758
00:32:21,367 --> 00:32:24,166
in the center of Tomcod
right now.

759
00:32:24,166 --> 00:32:26,300
It's my first time out here,
it's dope.

760
00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:28,033
I'm gonna go ahead
and throw the anchor down

761
00:32:28,033 --> 00:32:29,266
right about here.

762
00:32:32,734 --> 00:32:34,100
Yeah!

763
00:32:36,166 --> 00:32:37,967
The scary part of diving alone

764
00:32:37,967 --> 00:32:40,233
is that you're underwater

765
00:32:40,233 --> 00:32:43,533
and nobody is monitoring
your pump engines

766
00:32:43,533 --> 00:32:45,300
or your water heaters,
or your air systems,

767
00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:47,000
or any of that stuff.

768
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,333
So if something goes wrong
up top,

769
00:32:48,333 --> 00:32:50,100
there could be
a cascade of problems,

770
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:51,767
it gets away from you
really quickly.

771
00:32:51,767 --> 00:32:53,400
Is it crazy to do this?

772
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,834
Yeah, possibly, it is.

773
00:32:54,834 --> 00:32:57,300
But after last season,
I need to do whatever I can

774
00:32:57,300 --> 00:32:58,600
to find some better gold.

775
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:00,300
What the hell?

776
00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:19,166
One of my pressure
hoses blew apart

777
00:34:19,166 --> 00:34:20,400
while I was underwater

778
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,834
trying to get myself untangled.

779
00:34:21,834 --> 00:34:23,433
If I had a tender up top,

780
00:34:23,433 --> 00:34:25,467
then we probably
could've caught this problem

781
00:34:25,467 --> 00:34:26,634
before it got away from us.

782
00:34:26,634 --> 00:34:28,900
This is one of the drawbacks
of trying to dive

783
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,433
without a tender
and dive by yourself.

784
00:34:35,967 --> 00:34:38,667
I can't say I'm not
a little bit nervous about it.

785
00:34:38,667 --> 00:34:40,000
That sucks.

786
00:34:53,433 --> 00:34:54,467
Come down here.

787
00:34:54,467 --> 00:34:57,667
Let's have a company meeting
before we get going.

788
00:34:57,667 --> 00:34:59,000
Okay. Thank you very much

789
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,900
for helping us make it
to the starting line.

790
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:02,867
You know, now is our chance
to make that gold.

791
00:35:02,867 --> 00:35:04,867
Now is the time
for the marathon.

792
00:35:04,867 --> 00:35:06,333
I know we're gonna kill it.

793
00:35:06,333 --> 00:35:08,767
We've spent a lot of time
in blood and sweat, and tears,

794
00:35:08,767 --> 00:35:11,066
making this operation go.

795
00:35:11,066 --> 00:35:13,433
Now it's time to make that money.

796
00:35:13,433 --> 00:35:14,467
- Let's go.
- We need it, boys.

797
00:35:14,467 --> 00:35:16,367
- Okay. Let's go.
- Let's do it.

798
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:20,467
RPM's up.

799
00:35:22,567 --> 00:35:25,233
The rollout
of the newest budding empire

800
00:35:25,233 --> 00:35:26,600
on the Bering Sea,

801
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,233
the Reaper Nation,
is officially underway.

802
00:35:30,233 --> 00:35:32,400
James, how long until we go?

803
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,867
- Minutes.
- Minutes?

804
00:35:33,867 --> 00:35:35,033
- Yup.
- Let's get going.

805
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:37,000
This is crazy.

806
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,600
I'm about to hit the water
with my own excavation barge.

807
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,900
It's nuts. I'm talking
same level with Shawn here

808
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:44,200
and I'm even beating him
on the water.

809
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,367
This is the beginning
of an entire new phase

810
00:35:46,367 --> 00:35:47,967
for the Kellys' career.

811
00:35:47,967 --> 00:35:49,767
We're big time now.

812
00:35:49,767 --> 00:35:51,033
It's good.

813
00:35:51,033 --> 00:35:53,066
James, let's get going.
We got to get out there, man.

814
00:35:53,066 --> 00:35:54,266
Let's roll.

815
00:35:54,266 --> 00:35:55,367
All right.

816
00:36:04,133 --> 00:36:05,900
Security, security, security,

817
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:08,300
this is The Mistress
exiting the south wall.

818
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:11,433
Any concerning traffic
on 72 and 16?

819
00:36:16,567 --> 00:36:17,967
It's a great day.

820
00:36:18,934 --> 00:36:20,500
We're ready
to go mining, baby.

821
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:21,967
Time to make some money.

822
00:36:21,967 --> 00:36:23,166
We're gonna kill it today.

823
00:36:32,767 --> 00:36:35,634
Beautiful day,
the beginning of the season.

824
00:36:35,634 --> 00:36:38,200
It's a little bit wavy
but nobody else is out here,

825
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,834
I'm leading the way,
and that's the way I like it.

826
00:36:40,834 --> 00:36:42,500
I just needed a good opportunity

827
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,000
and now I have one.

828
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,934
And now, I'm gonna run with it.

829
00:36:45,934 --> 00:36:47,800
I used to live on that beach
right there

830
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,000
and I used to watch

831
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,233
the big million dollar
operations go by,

832
00:36:51,233 --> 00:36:53,266
and I was thinking,
"Maybe that'll be me one day,"

833
00:36:53,266 --> 00:36:54,767
and here I am.

834
00:36:54,767 --> 00:36:58,567
It only took eight
years of my life

835
00:36:58,567 --> 00:37:02,133
to make it to this point,
but at least this is my plan.

836
00:37:02,133 --> 00:37:04,867
So if I wanna be like
the mighty Shawn Pomrenke,

837
00:37:04,867 --> 00:37:06,900
I got to go
where the big gold is.

838
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:09,100
Why the [bleep] would I go
anywhere else

839
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:11,867
where I know for sure
there's gold?

840
00:37:11,867 --> 00:37:14,033
You know, like,
this is a multi-stage plan.

841
00:37:14,033 --> 00:37:16,100
If you don't start
where's there's gold,

842
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:17,867
you're not gonna get gold.

843
00:37:17,867 --> 00:37:20,100
And that can mean
only one place.

844
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,567
Pulling up to our spot
where we're gonna be mining

845
00:37:26,567 --> 00:37:28,333
and finally making some money.

846
00:37:28,333 --> 00:37:30,066
We're about to lower
the spuds down,

847
00:37:30,066 --> 00:37:31,800
uh, get the boat ready
to digging.

848
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,333
And we're gonna see
what this thing does

849
00:37:33,333 --> 00:37:34,500
and I wanna see
how much material

850
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:36,300
we can put in that box.

851
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:38,533
So, uh, it's...
I'm anxious, you know.

852
00:37:47,567 --> 00:37:49,600
There you go.
We're almost ready to mine.

853
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,300
We just got to fire up
the wash plant

854
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:53,100
and start prospecting.

855
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:04,667
Oh, baby. Look at this.

856
00:38:16,634 --> 00:38:18,600
Everything is going great.

857
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,834
Fire up excavator.

858
00:38:25,967 --> 00:38:27,200
Woo!

859
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:43,867
- Yes!
- Whoa.

860
00:38:43,867 --> 00:38:46,133
This [bleep] right here
will make a crew happy

861
00:38:46,133 --> 00:38:48,133
and you can smell the money.

862
00:38:58,767 --> 00:39:00,967
Now, I'm excited,
everything is running.

863
00:39:00,967 --> 00:39:02,300
I couldn't be any happier.

864
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:06,567
We're making money, baby!

865
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:09,367
Woo!

866
00:39:09,367 --> 00:39:12,333
man, the bucket
looks so good, too.

867
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:17,967
I knew this was all
gonna work out, you know.

868
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:23,367
Back in the harbor...

869
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,900
Hit it, hit stop,
and then hit start.

870
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:33,500
there's another
excavator barge

871
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:35,500
ready to hit the water...

872
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:37,333
It all works perfect.

873
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:39,000
as the Pomrenke empire

874
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,300
begins its onslaught
on the Bering Sea.

875
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:45,000
Well, we got it all
put together last year

876
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,166
and now, we got it dialed in.

877
00:39:47,166 --> 00:39:49,533
We're gonna kick some
ass this year.

878
00:39:49,533 --> 00:39:51,000
Last year was the first year

879
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,533
I made a deal with Dave Young
to team up on the Myrtle.

880
00:39:53,533 --> 00:39:56,467
We spent most of the summer
upgrading her,

881
00:39:56,467 --> 00:39:57,734
getting her ready to go,

882
00:39:57,734 --> 00:39:59,066
didn't even make it
on the water

883
00:39:59,066 --> 00:40:01,233
till the last few weeks
of the season.

884
00:40:01,233 --> 00:40:04,200
But once we did,
she was an absolute monster.

885
00:40:05,867 --> 00:40:07,433
I've been so excited.

886
00:40:07,433 --> 00:40:08,667
What do you think?

887
00:40:08,667 --> 00:40:10,500
I think it's gonna go very well.

888
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,367
Let's make some money
this year.

889
00:40:12,367 --> 00:40:15,000
- Sounds good, man.
- Okay, let's do it.

890
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,400
We're hitting the ground
running from the get-go
this season,

891
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,500
no sitting on the docks
for weeks.

892
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:22,700
We got the biggest barge
in Nome,

893
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:24,500
the biggest operation,

894
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:26,266
and we know where
there's killer gold.

895
00:40:26,266 --> 00:40:28,734
It's the ideal situation.

896
00:40:28,734 --> 00:40:31,033
This is what
I've been waiting for.

897
00:40:32,333 --> 00:40:35,033
This summer is gonna be
absolutely ridiculous.

898
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,967
Security, Myrtle Irene,
leaving the inner harbor.

899
00:40:39,967 --> 00:40:41,834
Any concern or oppose traffic?

900
00:40:41,834 --> 00:40:45,400
We'll be standing by
on channel 16 and 69.

901
00:40:51,433 --> 00:40:53,000
Oh, yeah.

902
00:40:54,567 --> 00:40:57,300
We're, uh, taking
the Myrtle Irene out

903
00:40:57,300 --> 00:41:00,734
for its, uh,
maiden voyage this season.

904
00:41:02,533 --> 00:41:04,734
We're gonna get out
of the harbor here,

905
00:41:04,734 --> 00:41:07,634
go around, get onto the claim,

906
00:41:07,634 --> 00:41:10,066
take a couple of buckets,
take a couple of pans,

907
00:41:11,233 --> 00:41:12,600
find some gold.

908
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,200
Then we fire up the wash plant

909
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,166
and start making
some damn money.

910
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:19,667
We're gonna kick some ass
this year.

911
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,066
Rig up that camera.

912
00:41:35,066 --> 00:41:36,967
Drop it down and
see what you're looking at.

913
00:41:36,967 --> 00:41:38,266
To start his season,

914
00:41:38,266 --> 00:41:42,767
Vernon Adkison is on the hunt
for a new pay streak.

915
00:41:42,767 --> 00:41:44,533
So we got this camera here
and we're gonna send it down,

916
00:41:44,533 --> 00:41:46,033
and see if we're on the cobble.

917
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:48,800
I got my fingers crossed.

918
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,533
I wanna see some cobble.

919
00:41:52,634 --> 00:41:55,100
So what's that expression
about the best laid plans

920
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:56,800
Of Mice and Men?

921
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,133
We were all set
to get back on super gold

922
00:41:59,133 --> 00:42:03,066
and one of my, uh, miners
who's paying me royalties

923
00:42:03,066 --> 00:42:04,467
is on the spot,

924
00:42:04,467 --> 00:42:06,767
but hey, when you're
expanding your operation

925
00:42:06,767 --> 00:42:08,634
to the next level like we are,

926
00:42:08,634 --> 00:42:10,133
these kind of things happen.

927
00:42:10,133 --> 00:42:12,133
What's it looking like, Brian?

928
00:42:12,133 --> 00:42:15,400
Looks like sandy cobble,
it's like a mix.

929
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,066
Looks like you're right
on the line.

930
00:42:17,066 --> 00:42:18,900
Keep us down there.
Keep looking.

931
00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:20,100
Okay.

932
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,000
This side of the screen is sand.

933
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,500
This side of screen's cobbles,
so this is right at the line.

934
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:29,867
Usually, that's pretty good,

935
00:42:29,867 --> 00:42:31,433
if you can get right on
the sandy cobble line?

936
00:42:31,433 --> 00:42:33,100
How about now, Brian?

937
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:34,266
Cobble.

938
00:42:34,266 --> 00:42:35,634
Good cobble.

939
00:42:35,634 --> 00:42:37,333
56 is loaded.

940
00:42:37,333 --> 00:42:40,266
This is a ground
that gives and gives.

941
00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:43,200
And now we're getting ready
to do some taking.

942
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,867
Anchor up.

943
00:42:48,133 --> 00:42:49,467
We've got good cobble.

944
00:42:49,467 --> 00:42:52,934
We're gonna get down there
and start dredging.

945
00:42:52,934 --> 00:42:54,533
We're getting ready
to send Brian down,

946
00:42:54,533 --> 00:42:57,300
but at this point,
he's an unknown.

947
00:42:57,300 --> 00:42:59,700
Last summer,
he blew out his eardrums

948
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:01,200
and came up bleeding

949
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,900
from every orifice
north of his shoulders.

950
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:06,166
It was a pretty gruesome sight.

951
00:43:06,967 --> 00:43:09,166
Ah, [bleep] is it bad?

952
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:11,734
- It's blood.
- Yeah, it's bad.

953
00:43:11,734 --> 00:43:14,000
He's been medically cleared
to dive,

954
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,300
but that sort of thing
can mess with your head.

955
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:18,700
If he can't handle
the pressure,

956
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:22,333
I'm gonna be in
serious trouble this season.

957
00:43:22,333 --> 00:43:23,800
Okay, here he goes.

958
00:43:30,934 --> 00:43:32,667
All right.
I'm just gonna go down slow.

959
00:43:35,634 --> 00:43:38,266
Yo, Brian, make some stops
along the way,

960
00:43:38,266 --> 00:43:42,033
get your breathing
under control and equalize.

961
00:43:51,300 --> 00:43:53,600
Brian, just so you know,

962
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,634
we get a readout on your jumps
up here on the screen.

963
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:59,000
You're at 10 feet right now.
Ten feet.

964
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,500
Copy.

965
00:44:03,667 --> 00:44:04,934
You're in 15 feet.

966
00:44:06,133 --> 00:44:08,734
Take a minute or two
right where you are.

967
00:44:08,734 --> 00:44:11,100
Stay where you are, equalize,
and get comfortable.

968
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:12,300
All right.

969
00:44:13,667 --> 00:44:15,066
Just try and doing
some yawning.

970
00:44:17,233 --> 00:44:18,667
All right. I think I'm good.

971
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:20,900
I'm going down.

972
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:23,667
All right. I'm at the bottom.

973
00:44:26,467 --> 00:44:29,367
You're at 22 feet of depth.

974
00:44:29,367 --> 00:44:32,000
How are your ears?

975
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,266
Ears are good.

976
00:44:36,266 --> 00:44:37,400
All right.

977
00:44:39,066 --> 00:44:40,367
I gotta give it to Brian.

978
00:44:40,367 --> 00:44:42,433
A lot of drivers
would hang it up

979
00:44:42,433 --> 00:44:44,266
after the experience he had,

980
00:44:44,266 --> 00:44:47,033
but he's tough as nails.

981
00:44:47,033 --> 00:44:49,500
And now it's time for us
to get after that gold.

982
00:44:51,033 --> 00:44:53,600
I think I'm mixing
sandy and cobble,

983
00:44:54,767 --> 00:44:57,533
man, I'm trying over here
to see how deep,

984
00:44:59,266 --> 00:45:01,166
uh, down the line I can get.

985
00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:05,500
All right. I'm gonna just
punch it over here.

986
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,367
Let me know
when you see the gold.

987
00:45:09,367 --> 00:45:10,367
All right.

988
00:45:21,634 --> 00:45:23,000
Yeah. There's a piece
of gold right there.

989
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:23,834
See it?

990
00:45:23,834 --> 00:45:25,200
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

991
00:45:26,667 --> 00:45:28,033
He's seeing gold.

992
00:45:28,033 --> 00:45:29,400
Oh, look at that
right there.

993
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,333
See it?

994
00:45:30,333 --> 00:45:32,533
There you go,
there's one right there

995
00:45:32,533 --> 00:45:34,066
and one right there.

996
00:45:34,066 --> 00:45:37,433
One right there,
one right there,
one right there,

997
00:45:37,433 --> 00:45:39,233
and one right there.

998
00:45:39,233 --> 00:45:41,200
So you find them stickers
on the bottom.

999
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,166
And another one right
there and there, and there.

1000
00:45:44,166 --> 00:45:45,200
Oh, look at that one.

1001
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,767
All right.

1002
00:45:47,767 --> 00:45:49,734
All right, Brian.

1003
00:45:56,967 --> 00:45:59,333
Suck it up. Put it in that box.

1004
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,367
Well, that is the plan, my man.

1005
00:46:07,133 --> 00:46:09,133
Our first diver is in the water.

1006
00:46:10,033 --> 00:46:11,433
He's on the gold.

1007
00:46:12,667 --> 00:46:14,266
Couldn't ask for a better day.

1008
00:46:15,166 --> 00:46:16,333
Whoa!

1009
00:46:18,667 --> 00:46:20,734
You're doing
a hell of a job.

1010
00:46:23,133 --> 00:46:25,266
Eleven miles west.

1011
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,533
She's good to go,
she's a runner.

1012
00:46:29,533 --> 00:46:31,800
Despite a hiccup,
first time down,

1013
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,033
Zeke Tenhoff is ready
to get back

1014
00:46:34,033 --> 00:46:36,400
on the solo dredging course.

1015
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:38,834
My motor is running.

1016
00:46:38,834 --> 00:46:41,700
We're good to go now.

1017
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:45,533
Dredging solo is proving
to be a lot harder
than I remember.

1018
00:46:45,533 --> 00:46:47,567
It's enough to have to deal
with pulling the boat around

1019
00:46:47,567 --> 00:46:48,900
and looking for gold
on the bottom,

1020
00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:50,066
but if I have to be running up
to the surface

1021
00:46:50,066 --> 00:46:51,667
over and over all day,

1022
00:46:51,667 --> 00:46:54,266
I'm just gassing myself out
too quick.

1023
00:46:54,266 --> 00:46:57,600
I'm not operating
as efficiently as I should,

1024
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,834
but I can't make any excuses
right now.

1025
00:46:59,834 --> 00:47:02,100
I have to find good gold
out here.

1026
00:49:17,233 --> 00:49:18,467
The good news is,

1027
00:49:18,467 --> 00:49:20,967
I keep finding good gold
out here on Tomcod.

1028
00:49:20,967 --> 00:49:22,500
I think that this lease
is gonna rock.

1029
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:25,100
I think that there's a lot
of potential here still.

1030
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:27,367
The bad news is, I'm wiped out.

1031
00:49:27,367 --> 00:49:30,367
Man is not meant
to solo dredge.

1032
00:49:30,367 --> 00:49:33,000
There's just too much to do.
I'm wearing myself out.

1033
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,700
I need to find some more help.

1034
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:36,200
The gold's phenomenal,

1035
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,367
but I pushed it
a little too hard.

1036
00:49:40,934 --> 00:49:42,867
Probably good for me,
it toughened me up,

1037
00:49:42,867 --> 00:49:45,734
but when you're deep like that

1038
00:49:45,734 --> 00:49:47,467
going up and down and up
and down and up and down,

1039
00:49:47,467 --> 00:49:48,967
dropped down,

1040
00:49:48,967 --> 00:49:51,033
so your body gets stressed out.

1041
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,333
Eight, 10 years ago,

1042
00:49:53,333 --> 00:49:55,000
I probably could've kept going...

1043
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:08,834
Here, everybody.

1044
00:50:08,834 --> 00:50:10,533
My girlfriend made everybody
a sandwich,

1045
00:50:10,533 --> 00:50:12,834
that she wants us
to all do good.

1046
00:50:15,867 --> 00:50:17,500
Hey, Kevin, give me
half that sandwich

1047
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:19,500
I didn't... She didn't
make me five.

1048
00:50:22,767 --> 00:50:24,166
Okay. I'll take half
of your sandwich.

1049
00:50:24,166 --> 00:50:25,433
I'm taking half of a couple

1050
00:50:25,433 --> 00:50:27,500
because I just gave
my sandwiches away.

1051
00:50:28,767 --> 00:50:30,600
Kris Kelly
and the Reaper Nation

1052
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,533
are looking to devour gold.

1053
00:50:32,533 --> 00:50:33,934
Here you go, buddy.

1054
00:50:33,934 --> 00:50:35,834
On the captain's
maiden voyage

1055
00:50:35,834 --> 00:50:39,300
as co-owner
of the mighty Mistress.

1056
00:50:47,433 --> 00:50:49,634
Kevin was a little
skeptical at first,

1057
00:50:49,634 --> 00:50:51,133
but now he's catching the fever.

1058
00:50:51,133 --> 00:50:52,333
Okay. Now, here it goes.

1059
00:50:52,333 --> 00:50:54,900
That sound right there
is money.

1060
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:56,634
And that's because
what's happening is real.

1061
00:50:57,333 --> 00:50:59,100
Reaper Nation is a beast.

1062
00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:00,667
We're heavy hitters, baby.

1063
00:51:00,667 --> 00:51:02,033
It's us and Shawn.

1064
00:51:02,033 --> 00:51:03,433
No one else is on our level.

1065
00:51:03,433 --> 00:51:05,634
I can't wait to take a test pan

1066
00:51:05,634 --> 00:51:07,033
and see how good the gold
is already.

1067
00:51:25,233 --> 00:51:26,033
How many in gold?

1068
00:51:26,033 --> 00:51:27,033
How many colors?

1069
00:51:27,033 --> 00:51:28,033
How many?

1070
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,166
Too many to count.

1071
00:51:34,166 --> 00:51:36,333
Well, that's a great problem
to have.

1072
00:51:36,333 --> 00:51:37,467
And you know what?

1073
00:51:37,467 --> 00:51:38,700
That's my favorite
kind of problem.

1074
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:40,200
I wish that would happen
to be more.

1075
00:51:44,066 --> 00:51:45,600
Oh, yeah [bleep] yeah.

1076
00:51:46,433 --> 00:51:47,300
Wow.

1077
00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:49,100
Look at this.

1078
00:51:49,100 --> 00:51:50,433
You see all the gold?

1079
00:51:50,433 --> 00:51:51,967
Because that's too many colors
to count,

1080
00:51:51,967 --> 00:51:53,200
you can see there's about

1081
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,567
maybe 60 to 70 plates
for a test pan.

1082
00:51:55,567 --> 00:51:58,467
So we're on the gold for sure,
a hundred percent.

1083
00:52:00,266 --> 00:52:01,900
Yeah, we're on the gold, baby.

1084
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:03,166
Let's keep it rolling.

1085
00:52:03,166 --> 00:52:05,467
Yeah, we're killing it
right now.

1086
00:52:05,467 --> 00:52:06,667
- We're on the gold!
- Well, you know what?

1087
00:52:06,667 --> 00:52:08,166
So right there you saw
a lot of gold.

1088
00:52:08,166 --> 00:52:12,300
Times that by a hundred
and twenty scoops an hour

1089
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:13,767
and what the [bleep] you know?

1090
00:52:13,767 --> 00:52:16,734
We should be getting something
pretty good right now.

1091
00:52:19,367 --> 00:52:22,934
But the Kellys
are not alone on Tomcod.

1092
00:52:31,133 --> 00:52:32,900
Well, we're in the spot here,

1093
00:52:32,900 --> 00:52:35,100
gonna go ahead, spud down,

1094
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,533
do a little prospecting.

1095
00:52:47,867 --> 00:52:50,433
The Tomcods' been my life
for 20 years.

1096
00:52:50,433 --> 00:52:51,934
I know all the spots
you wanna hit,

1097
00:52:51,934 --> 00:52:53,467
and the spots
you wanna avoid.

1098
00:52:54,066 --> 00:52:55,100
And over the winter,

1099
00:52:55,100 --> 00:52:57,467
we hit some
seriously good stuff.

1100
00:52:57,467 --> 00:53:00,533
And that's what I'm trying
to tap into right now,

1101
00:53:00,533 --> 00:53:02,700
it'd make a perfect start
to the summer.

1102
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:05,066
All right.
We're about ready to start.

1103
00:53:05,066 --> 00:53:08,467
Taking some test pans,
first bucket of the summer.

1104
00:53:18,700 --> 00:53:21,934
Right now, I'm trying to see
how deep it is.

1105
00:53:29,066 --> 00:53:31,767
It's deep so there better be
a lot of gold

1106
00:53:31,767 --> 00:53:34,367
at the bottom of this
to make it pay.

1107
00:53:38,967 --> 00:53:41,166
Now we got something.

1108
00:53:48,533 --> 00:53:51,533
All right. Let's go see
what the hell we got here.

1109
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:55,967
Just because we're on
a killer pay in the winter,

1110
00:53:55,967 --> 00:53:57,634
doesn't mean
we automatically go out,

1111
00:53:57,634 --> 00:54:01,133
drop the bucket down
and we're on perfect gold.

1112
00:54:01,133 --> 00:54:03,266
Pay streaks can dry up.
They can move.

1113
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,133
Especially after
it's been a few months

1114
00:54:06,133 --> 00:54:07,400
and the ice has melted.

1115
00:54:08,300 --> 00:54:11,533
Here we go.
Let's see what we have.

1116
00:54:11,533 --> 00:54:13,100
There are so many things
about this summer

1117
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:14,934
that that's gonna be amazing.

1118
00:54:14,934 --> 00:54:16,333
One of the best things is

1119
00:54:16,333 --> 00:54:19,300
having my oldest son, Dylan,
on my crew.

1120
00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:21,367
I'm so glad
to have him out here.

1121
00:54:21,367 --> 00:54:23,200
I can't wait to pass
on my knowledge

1122
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,767
to the next generation.

1123
00:54:24,767 --> 00:54:27,100
In the end,
that's who I'm doing this for.

1124
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:35,266
Nothing on the first pans

1125
00:54:35,266 --> 00:54:37,100
but we're gonna try
to pull back a little bit,

1126
00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:39,200
see if we can find
some other color.

1127
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:43,800
You got to get
a different example,

1128
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,400
maybe a little deeper.

1129
00:54:46,767 --> 00:54:49,567
We could be right next
to a thousand ounces.

1130
00:54:51,634 --> 00:54:53,233
It's here somewhere.

1131
00:54:57,266 --> 00:54:58,634
Back on The Mistress...

1132
00:55:07,367 --> 00:55:08,533
Do you hear the rocks

1133
00:55:08,533 --> 00:55:10,634
as they bounce across
the screen?

1134
00:55:10,634 --> 00:55:12,767
Like sounds like a train track.

1135
00:55:12,767 --> 00:55:13,934
That's money.

1136
00:55:13,934 --> 00:55:15,233
You know what? That...

1137
00:55:15,233 --> 00:55:17,066
You can hear the money
coming right there.

1138
00:55:17,066 --> 00:55:18,800
Choo-choo!

1139
00:55:19,934 --> 00:55:21,500
It's called,
the money train, baby.

1140
00:55:23,900 --> 00:55:26,000
Captain Kris
has Reaper Nation

1141
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,800
firmly on the tracks.

1142
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,400
yeah.

1143
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,133
enormous.

1144
00:55:46,734 --> 00:55:47,734
Okay.

1145
00:55:47,734 --> 00:55:50,567
My competition just
finally came to the party.

1146
00:55:50,567 --> 00:55:55,266
That's a super excavator, um,
four or five yards a bucket.

1147
00:55:57,433 --> 00:55:59,400
That's a big-ass [bleep] arm.

1148
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,734
You see that thing?

1149
00:56:02,333 --> 00:56:04,900
Look how far he can go
out there to hunt.

1150
00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:09,500
They don't go...
Don't make it look like
we're looking at them.

1151
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:11,166
Mind our own business...

1152
00:56:12,567 --> 00:56:14,700
You come

1153
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,066
Shawn can be super-pissed
we're out here, but whatever.

1154
00:56:20,066 --> 00:56:21,133
We got a job to do

1155
00:56:21,133 --> 00:56:24,233
and I'm not gonna worry
about precious Mr. Gold.

1156
00:56:24,233 --> 00:56:27,333
There's plenty of room
for another empire in Nome.

1157
00:56:28,367 --> 00:56:29,533
- Hey.
- Yo!

1158
00:56:29,533 --> 00:56:32,000
- So let's get going soon.
- Yeah. I'm ready.

1159
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,567
Hey, just don't worry
about Shawn.

1160
00:56:33,567 --> 00:56:35,000
We're over here doing our thing.

1161
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:35,867
That's for sure.

1162
00:56:35,867 --> 00:56:37,667
And our test pans
look great.

1163
00:56:37,667 --> 00:56:38,700
- Yeah.
- Let's go do it.

1164
00:56:38,700 --> 00:56:39,934
Let's do it.

1165
00:56:39,934 --> 00:56:41,166
Screw Shawn.

1166
00:56:41,166 --> 00:56:43,133
I'm not gonna lose
any sleep over him.

1167
00:56:43,133 --> 00:56:45,300
I'm worried about beefing up
the Reaper Nation.

1168
00:56:45,300 --> 00:56:46,634
Let's go.

1169
00:56:46,634 --> 00:56:47,967
These guys are on gold.

1170
00:56:47,967 --> 00:56:50,500
I'm gonna leave 'em
and go back to the dock
with Kevin.

1171
00:56:50,500 --> 00:56:53,133
I've got another piece
of the puzzle to get going.

1172
00:56:53,133 --> 00:56:54,700
- Hey!
- Yeah.

1173
00:56:57,033 --> 00:56:58,600
Shawn and I are gonna
be good buddies

1174
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,634
working right next
to each other all season.

1175
00:57:03,667 --> 00:57:04,767
On the Myrtle.

1176
00:57:05,934 --> 00:57:09,100
Not liking
what I'm seeing so far but...

1177
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:10,834
Hell, you gotta check it out.

1178
00:57:10,834 --> 00:57:12,867
Nothing ventured,
nothing gained.

1179
00:57:15,867 --> 00:57:17,834
Shawn is still
trying to jumpstart

1180
00:57:17,834 --> 00:57:21,567
the Pomrenke empire
for its summer campaign.

1181
00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:33,500
Looks like the
Mistress is out here.

1182
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:36,767
Kris Kelly and James idiots.

1183
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,634
So little Kris Kelly

1184
00:57:39,634 --> 00:57:42,533
got himself
an excavation barge,

1185
00:57:42,533 --> 00:57:45,900
must have found himself
a loophole to get on
to the Tomcod.

1186
00:57:45,900 --> 00:57:47,800
That little punk
is out of his league

1187
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,300
and he better tread lightly.

1188
00:57:50,100 --> 00:57:51,700
This is my back yard.

1189
00:57:51,700 --> 00:57:53,467
I've been here for years,

1190
00:57:53,467 --> 00:57:55,867
diving, exploring
every coordinate

1191
00:57:55,867 --> 00:57:59,333
and mapping it out
and coming up with a plan.

1192
00:57:59,333 --> 00:58:01,033
I'm not gonna take
kindly to somebody

1193
00:58:01,033 --> 00:58:02,133
trying to weasel in

1194
00:58:02,133 --> 00:58:04,800
and take advantage
of all my hard work.

1195
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,700
He better stay the hell away
from my operation.

1196
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:11,133
Don't worry about them later.

1197
00:58:11,133 --> 00:58:13,767
Later on, I'll go digging up
all around them.

1198
00:58:15,367 --> 00:58:17,634
But right now,
I'm gonna find some gold.

1199
00:58:29,533 --> 00:58:31,533
Yeah,
this looks way better.

1200
00:58:31,533 --> 00:58:33,133
Look at that.

1201
00:58:33,133 --> 00:58:34,700
I think this will be the one.

1202
00:58:50,900 --> 00:58:52,066
Oh, yeah.

1203
00:58:53,500 --> 00:58:54,900
Oh, [bleep] yeah.

1204
00:58:57,734 --> 00:58:58,867
Lots of gold.

1205
00:59:00,634 --> 00:59:02,600
My boy has a good
nose for this.

1206
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,233
Must run in the family.

1207
00:59:04,233 --> 00:59:06,367
This is where
we're gonna get digging.

1208
00:59:06,367 --> 00:59:08,634
Not only that, I'm calling Cody,

1209
00:59:08,634 --> 00:59:10,700
gonna get the Christine Rose
out here too.

1210
00:59:10,700 --> 00:59:13,400
It's time to get this summer
started right.

1211
00:59:16,867 --> 00:59:19,266
I like to see smiling faces.

1212
00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:22,567
Whoa! Here we go!

1213
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,133
How's it going
down there, Ricardo?

1214
00:59:37,133 --> 00:59:38,433
How's the gold?

1215
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,000
Good.

1216
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,934
New bride,
Emily Riedel,

1217
00:59:43,934 --> 00:59:47,734
is trying to marry The Eroica
to gold-rich cobble.

1218
00:59:53,367 --> 00:59:55,200
Oh! Ow, ow, ow, ow!

1219
01:00:01,133 --> 01:00:02,467
Oh, no.

1220
01:00:03,667 --> 01:00:07,300
But Mother Nature
has other plans.

1221
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:10,266
I'm just trying
to get back to a place
where I can mine...

1222
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:14,900
Weather is kind of iffy.

1223
01:00:14,900 --> 01:00:16,467
The current just
got turbo-charged

1224
01:00:16,467 --> 01:00:21,700
and out of nowhere it's like
throwing us over off the spot.

1225
01:00:21,700 --> 01:00:23,900
We just moved like 70 feet away

1226
01:00:23,900 --> 01:00:25,066
from where we want to be mining.

1227
01:00:25,066 --> 01:00:26,400
We're dragging both anchors.

1228
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,367
The current is ripping so hard.

1229
01:00:29,467 --> 01:00:31,533
This might be
a dive killer for us.

1230
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:33,467
How are you feeling?

1231
01:00:39,433 --> 01:00:43,066
We're so far
off of our spot,
where in Nowheresville.

1232
01:00:43,066 --> 01:00:44,600
You make the call, dude.

1233
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,033
I'm coming up.

1234
01:00:46,033 --> 01:00:47,900
Roger. Okay.
I'll see you at the top.

1235
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,767
All right!

1236
01:00:59,767 --> 01:01:01,634
A nice juicy nugget.

1237
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,834
We weren't down
as long as I would have liked,

1238
01:01:04,834 --> 01:01:06,634
but we got on gold right away.

1239
01:01:06,634 --> 01:01:08,467
And it's good gold too.

1240
01:01:08,467 --> 01:01:10,800
Oh, look at it, it's so nice.

1241
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,233
It looks like a Z.

1242
01:01:12,233 --> 01:01:14,133
That freakin' box looks amazing

1243
01:01:14,133 --> 01:01:16,066
and there's a nice sweet
little nug in there,

1244
01:01:16,066 --> 01:01:17,900
so that's a good omen
for the summer.

1245
01:01:17,900 --> 01:01:19,467
It's a good nugget.

1246
01:01:21,867 --> 01:01:23,700
I'll believe we have
a nice healthy cleanup.

1247
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:25,567
We're good.
Strong start for the season.

1248
01:01:27,266 --> 01:01:29,333
Get this boat cleaned up
and get out of here.

1249
01:01:32,133 --> 01:01:33,500
One mile west...

1250
01:01:36,367 --> 01:01:38,767
Hey, Brian,
you see any gold down there?

1251
01:01:43,233 --> 01:01:44,967
You're my man.

1252
01:01:44,967 --> 01:01:47,166
You know, after all this work,

1253
01:01:47,166 --> 01:01:49,133
getting all that stuff together,

1254
01:01:49,133 --> 01:01:51,166
it's a pain in the ass,

1255
01:01:51,166 --> 01:01:54,000
but when you get out here
and get on the gold,
it's worth it.

1256
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,800
It really is.

1257
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,266
Despite
the growing pains,

1258
01:01:57,266 --> 01:01:59,500
Vernon Adkison's enjoying

1259
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:04,066
the seemingly unending riches
on Claim 56.

1260
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,066
Dive of the season.

1261
01:02:07,066 --> 01:02:10,000
Uh, things are looking
pretty damn good down there,
don't you think?

1262
01:02:13,233 --> 01:02:16,934
I think, um, we'll be coming
back here for a while.

1263
01:02:20,433 --> 01:02:22,900
Hitting new ground running,
that's what we're doing.

1264
01:02:22,900 --> 01:02:24,200
With a new hot spot

1265
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,400
and then all these dredges
feeding me royalties

1266
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,033
for working on my claim,
this summer's gonna be lit.

1267
01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:42,934
Brian, um, something's
going on with the boat.

1268
01:02:42,934 --> 01:02:45,033
I say we just drug anchor
or something.

1269
01:03:06,734 --> 01:03:08,800
I'm going... At this point,
I'm gonna stall it.

1270
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,467
It's time for you to come up.

1271
01:03:13,734 --> 01:03:14,734
All right.

1272
01:03:16,166 --> 01:03:17,767
I'll tell you,
I'mma dive,

1273
01:03:17,767 --> 01:03:19,667
I'm sure you put gold
in the box.

1274
01:03:24,266 --> 01:03:26,233
Weather's getting rough.

1275
01:03:26,233 --> 01:03:28,333
We got a long season
ahead of us.

1276
01:03:28,333 --> 01:03:30,367
I'm not taking
any chances with Brian.

1277
01:03:30,367 --> 01:03:32,533
We gotta keep those
ear drums kosher.

1278
01:03:39,533 --> 01:03:41,567
All right. Any... Anything?

1279
01:03:41,567 --> 01:03:44,000
- Any blood shooting out
of any of that--
- No. No blood this time.

1280
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,166
That's good...

1281
01:03:46,166 --> 01:03:47,400
A beautiful sight.

1282
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,033
There's no blood
coming out of the ears,
or eyes, or nose.

1283
01:03:51,567 --> 01:03:52,667
Woo.

1284
01:03:52,667 --> 01:03:54,467
With day one in the books,

1285
01:03:54,467 --> 01:03:56,767
I'm on my way
to the best season of my life.

1286
01:03:56,767 --> 01:03:58,333
I can feel it.

1287
01:03:58,333 --> 01:04:00,967
All in all, today went good.

1288
01:04:00,967 --> 01:04:03,133
There's nothing like
taking it to the limit.

1289
01:04:04,767 --> 01:04:06,233
Good to be back.

1290
01:04:09,133 --> 01:04:11,033
12 miles west.

1291
01:04:17,934 --> 01:04:20,867
Looking good.

1292
01:04:20,867 --> 01:04:23,400
Oh, there are
some cobble in there.

1293
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,266
We're making gold right now.

1294
01:04:25,266 --> 01:04:27,934
Mr. Gold
is once again

1295
01:04:27,934 --> 01:04:29,500
living up to his name.

1296
01:04:30,734 --> 01:04:32,166
Hell, yeah.

1297
01:04:32,166 --> 01:04:35,166
We're firing on
all cylinders today.

1298
01:04:35,166 --> 01:04:37,033
And joining in
on the fun.

1299
01:04:37,033 --> 01:04:40,066
That's some good-looking
pay there, boy.

1300
01:04:40,066 --> 01:04:44,200
Cody Moen,
mans the Christine Rose
only half a mile away.

1301
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,266
Sure on some
good-looking material.

1302
01:04:46,266 --> 01:04:47,467
That's a bonus.

1303
01:04:50,467 --> 01:04:53,166
Christine Rose,
Myrtle Irene.

1304
01:04:53,166 --> 01:04:55,667
We're having a party.

1305
01:04:55,667 --> 01:04:58,967
The only one that wasn't
really invited was Kris.

1306
01:05:00,700 --> 01:05:02,567
Hey, dude,
we got a problem here.

1307
01:05:02,567 --> 01:05:03,767
Yeah, go ahead.

1308
01:05:03,767 --> 01:05:06,100
These Kellys just
will not back off me.

1309
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:12,133
I can't [bleep] believe
this [bleep].

1310
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,166
Kris and his family
have been a pain in my ass
for years.

1311
01:05:17,166 --> 01:05:18,867
Are you [bleep] with me?

1312
01:05:18,867 --> 01:05:20,834
Did you guys come find this?

1313
01:05:20,834 --> 01:05:23,900
- Dude, you're over there, son.
- I'm gonna follow you
wherever you go.

1314
01:05:27,934 --> 01:05:29,033
Have a good day, Shawn.

1315
01:05:32,033 --> 01:05:35,700
I know James
has paperwork in
for the Tomcod.

1316
01:05:35,700 --> 01:05:37,967
But here's the thing,
this claim is massive.

1317
01:05:37,967 --> 01:05:40,834
Kris could mine anywhere
and I wouldn't even see him.

1318
01:05:40,834 --> 01:05:42,567
But that's not the case.

1319
01:05:42,567 --> 01:05:43,634
What's he doing?

1320
01:05:43,634 --> 01:05:46,667
Gonna come jump on top of us.

1321
01:05:46,667 --> 01:05:50,600
And I'm the guy that knows
where the gold's at
on the Tomcod.

1322
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,867
I've done the work,
I've done the research,

1323
01:05:52,867 --> 01:05:55,333
and now he's just trying
to be a little parasite.

1324
01:05:56,834 --> 01:06:00,133
Well, he is gonna get
a rude awakening
the next time I see him.

1325
01:06:00,133 --> 01:06:02,200
I ain't gonna let him
get away with this [bleep].

1326
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:03,734
Yeah, they're
out of their element, man.

1327
01:06:03,734 --> 01:06:05,433
They need to back off.

1328
01:06:05,433 --> 01:06:06,967
There's plenty of
ground out here

1329
01:06:06,967 --> 01:06:09,867
for everybody to mine
a good distance

1330
01:06:09,867 --> 01:06:11,934
away from each other
and everybody be profitable.

1331
01:06:11,934 --> 01:06:16,700
There's no reason for this
whatever [bleep] 10-4.

1332
01:06:16,700 --> 01:06:18,166
Yeah, 10-4.

1333
01:06:20,867 --> 01:06:23,333
And not like I got enough
to worry about,

1334
01:06:23,333 --> 01:06:27,667
and got to worry about
everybody jumping
on top of me.

1335
01:06:27,667 --> 01:06:30,333
I've [bleep] had
like this happened before,

1336
01:06:30,333 --> 01:06:35,500
but I just deal with it
but it just gets frustrating.

1337
01:06:35,500 --> 01:06:37,000
Spend all day, you know,

1338
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,133
thousands and thousands
of dollars

1339
01:06:39,133 --> 01:06:42,200
in fuel and labor,
coming out here

1340
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:43,700
prospect all day,

1341
01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:45,800
and then there's somebody
set up on your hole

1342
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,400
'cause they don't
wanna do the work

1343
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:51,200
to find the gold
and just pisses you off.

1344
01:06:55,867 --> 01:06:57,800
I need to put
some gold in the box.

1345
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,700
I got all these guys, and fuel,

1346
01:07:00,700 --> 01:07:04,000
and insurance,
and payment on the claim.

1347
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,800
There's royalty payment.

1348
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:10,567
I have to make gold.

1349
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,634
So I wanna just not worry about

1350
01:07:13,634 --> 01:07:16,500
these other guys
and do what I need to do.

1351
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,133
I think
we are in the water.

1352
01:07:24,133 --> 01:07:26,333
That's a good day.

1353
01:07:26,333 --> 01:07:30,033
I mean, these guys are close
and it really piss you off.

1354
01:07:30,033 --> 01:07:33,500
But Kris, he just
pushing his luck with me,

1355
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:36,266
he has been for years.

1356
01:07:36,266 --> 01:07:39,400
He needs a good ass-kicking
is all he needs.

1357
01:07:46,734 --> 01:07:47,734
What do you think
there, Brian?

1358
01:07:47,734 --> 01:07:49,667
I mean, we got
a pretty good day of dredging

1359
01:07:49,667 --> 01:07:50,900
and you were seeing gold.

1360
01:07:50,900 --> 01:07:53,333
So I saw some chunkies
that might add up.

1361
01:07:53,333 --> 01:07:56,834
Vernon Adkison
is looking for his first bite

1362
01:07:56,834 --> 01:07:59,200
of the golden apple
this summer.

1363
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,567
Only one way to find out,
let's clean it up.

1364
01:08:05,266 --> 01:08:08,133
We had to call an audible
on the first day,

1365
01:08:08,133 --> 01:08:09,634
find a new pay streak

1366
01:08:09,634 --> 01:08:11,533
and find a new pay streak
we did.

1367
01:08:11,533 --> 01:08:13,734
And it looks pretty damn good.

1368
01:08:13,734 --> 01:08:16,033
Great way to start the summer.

1369
01:08:16,033 --> 01:08:19,634
Yeah, this is the best part of
the whole process right here.

1370
01:08:19,634 --> 01:08:21,667
This is when you see the payoff

1371
01:08:21,667 --> 01:08:24,233
for all your effort
and hard work.

1372
01:08:24,233 --> 01:08:26,033
Well, maybe they're
a little bit better
than I thought.

1373
01:08:26,033 --> 01:08:28,600
I'll tell you,
that's a pretty tasty little
pile of gold right there.

1374
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:29,400
Yeah.

1375
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:32,333
Well, let's pour it up.

1376
01:08:32,333 --> 01:08:33,166
See what we got.

1377
01:08:38,033 --> 01:08:41,300
Call it up, three, four, five.

1378
01:08:42,367 --> 01:08:44,333
6.3.

1379
01:08:45,233 --> 01:08:47,734
- Good days' wages.
- Oh, yeah.

1380
01:08:47,734 --> 01:08:51,967
6.37 ounces
is worth over $11,000.

1381
01:08:51,967 --> 01:08:55,033
Not too shabby
for a shortened dive.

1382
01:08:55,033 --> 01:08:56,333
So we didn't get down
a full day.

1383
01:08:56,333 --> 01:08:59,400
Only one diver down.
I'll take it.

1384
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:00,700
It's a decent start.

1385
01:09:00,700 --> 01:09:02,634
We're just getting going.

1386
01:09:02,634 --> 01:09:06,333
It's a good sign that the gold
is still waiting for us on 56.

1387
01:09:06,333 --> 01:09:08,400
Now we just need to
put in the hours

1388
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,066
and the kingdom is in the bag.

1389
01:09:10,066 --> 01:09:10,967
All right.

1390
01:09:10,967 --> 01:09:13,734
It's not yippee-ki-yay
but I'll take it.

1391
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,333
Ain't bad for a one-day haul.

1392
01:09:18,667 --> 01:09:20,100
On the
outskirts of town.

1393
01:09:23,133 --> 01:09:24,400
Cleanup time.

1394
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,000
How many cleanups
have you done
in your shower, Rick?

1395
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,233
A few.

1396
01:09:28,233 --> 01:09:29,667
A few?

1397
01:09:29,667 --> 01:09:32,467
It's Emily Riedel's
first cleanout
in nearly a year.

1398
01:09:32,467 --> 01:09:33,400
Nice.

1399
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:34,500
See how the box looked like

1400
01:09:34,500 --> 01:09:37,700
it was pretty well distributed.

1401
01:09:37,700 --> 01:09:41,300
And she's looking
to make up for lost time.

1402
01:09:41,300 --> 01:09:43,133
This is the last
little bit for the cube

1403
01:09:43,133 --> 01:09:44,767
and then, um,
we'll, uh, be ready

1404
01:09:44,767 --> 01:09:47,367
for the finishing stages here.

1405
01:09:48,567 --> 01:09:49,734
I'm not delusional.

1406
01:09:49,734 --> 01:09:51,700
I know I've got
a lot of work to do

1407
01:09:51,700 --> 01:09:53,467
to get back everything
I've lost.

1408
01:09:53,467 --> 01:09:56,066
We have a little bit
of a trough going.

1409
01:09:56,066 --> 01:09:58,133
- You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.

1410
01:09:58,133 --> 01:10:01,533
And build up the bank roll
to at least 250 ounces

1411
01:10:01,533 --> 01:10:03,333
for, uh, me and my husband,

1412
01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:05,700
and our future plans
depends on it.

1413
01:10:06,900 --> 01:10:08,300
First cleanup of the trip.

1414
01:10:08,300 --> 01:10:09,967
All right.
Let's see how we did.

1415
01:10:10,634 --> 01:10:14,166
Two, six, nine,

1416
01:10:14,166 --> 01:10:16,033
11, 12,

1417
01:10:16,033 --> 01:10:18,233
13, 14, 15, 16.

1418
01:10:18,233 --> 01:10:20,567
Sixteen.

1419
01:10:20,567 --> 01:10:24,367
Is it 17, 18...

1420
01:10:24,367 --> 01:10:26,767
18.35.

1421
01:10:26,767 --> 01:10:28,734
- Yeah.
- Woo-hoo!

1422
01:10:28,734 --> 01:10:33,834
18.35 ounces
is worth over $33,000

1423
01:10:33,834 --> 01:10:37,200
and Emily started the season
with a major statement.

1424
01:10:37,667 --> 01:10:39,367
Doing pretty good.

1425
01:10:39,367 --> 01:10:40,500
It's awesome.

1426
01:10:40,500 --> 01:10:41,767
Not a bad first cleanout.

1427
01:10:41,767 --> 01:10:43,066
- Yeah.
- We're in over an ounce,
an hour a grand.

1428
01:10:43,066 --> 01:10:44,634
Yeah. I'm down with that.

1429
01:10:44,634 --> 01:10:46,467
We need to stick out there
for a while.

1430
01:10:46,467 --> 01:10:48,500
If it's this good
on a shortened dive,

1431
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:50,266
then the gold must be amazing.

1432
01:10:50,266 --> 01:10:52,834
I'm shaking off the rust
and we're off and running.

1433
01:10:52,834 --> 01:10:54,066
- Bam!
- Bam!

1434
01:10:54,066 --> 01:10:55,133
Bam!

1435
01:10:57,066 --> 01:10:58,500
Good first start, guys.

1436
01:11:01,567 --> 01:11:02,667
Back in Nome.

1437
01:11:04,767 --> 01:11:06,033
We need to
get this up and running.

1438
01:11:06,033 --> 01:11:07,533
- I mean--
- We will.

1439
01:11:07,533 --> 01:11:10,734
Two extra feet puts us
in a whole other little area
that nobody's mined.

1440
01:11:10,734 --> 01:11:12,200
Look at how new
this thing looks.

1441
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:13,467
It's gonna be great.

1442
01:11:13,467 --> 01:11:17,066
Ah, the life
of a gold mining mogul

1443
01:11:17,066 --> 01:11:20,367
with the Mistress
already on Tomcod gold

1444
01:11:20,367 --> 01:11:22,667
and Father Brad
and brother Andy

1445
01:11:22,667 --> 01:11:24,667
putting the extensive
final touches

1446
01:11:24,667 --> 01:11:26,133
on the new Reaper.

1447
01:11:26,133 --> 01:11:28,000
It's time for Captain Kris

1448
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:32,266
to check in on
his newly purchased
upgraded excavator.

1449
01:11:32,266 --> 01:11:36,567
This machine right here
will give me an extra
half a yard per scoop.

1450
01:11:36,567 --> 01:11:38,200
So it's like doing the same job

1451
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,033
but getting a 30% raise all day.

1452
01:11:41,033 --> 01:11:42,967
I love 30% extra.

1453
01:11:48,567 --> 01:11:50,400
James, what's up, man?

1454
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,634
Oh, dude,
we're on hot gold

1455
01:11:52,634 --> 01:11:55,433
but we got a little bit
of an issue, man.

1456
01:11:55,433 --> 01:11:57,000
Okay, what's going on?

1457
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,600
Um, I got
the Christine Rose probably

1458
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,800
maybe 40 yards from me.

1459
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,900
They're
interrupting our lines,

1460
01:12:03,900 --> 01:12:05,667
jumping like right on our spot.

1461
01:12:05,667 --> 01:12:07,433
Dude.

1462
01:12:07,433 --> 01:12:10,333
What the
is going on out there?

1463
01:12:10,333 --> 01:12:11,834
Dude,
it's [bleep] stupid.

1464
01:12:11,834 --> 01:12:13,700
They're supposed to be
900 feet away.

1465
01:12:13,700 --> 01:12:16,033
That's [bleep] regulation,
that's law.

1466
01:12:16,033 --> 01:12:18,066
They're [bleep] right
in my [bleep] dive zone.

1467
01:12:18,066 --> 01:12:21,967
They're off one of my buoys
jumped my buoy.

1468
01:12:21,967 --> 01:12:23,300
Dude, I'm gonna
get down there.

1469
01:12:23,300 --> 01:12:24,500
I'm gonna get on the skiff

1470
01:12:24,500 --> 01:12:26,600
and I'll be there
in like 30 minutes.

1471
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,066
All right.
'Cause I'm
pissed, man.

1472
01:12:28,066 --> 01:12:29,533
This is [bleep] stupid.

1473
01:12:29,533 --> 01:12:31,066
Yeah, this is stupid.

1474
01:12:31,066 --> 01:12:33,066
Stay on gold
'cause that's our concern

1475
01:12:33,066 --> 01:12:35,133
right now is staying on gold.

1476
01:12:35,133 --> 01:12:38,266
You know,
we've worked really hard
to get to this place.

1477
01:12:38,266 --> 01:12:40,634
We don't need Shawn
trying to bully us.

1478
01:12:40,634 --> 01:12:43,834
You know, like we'll
run right over
that little barge.

1479
01:12:43,834 --> 01:12:45,100
Oh, no [bleep] dude,

1480
01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:47,033
I'm gonna [bleep] flood
their box full of water

1481
01:12:47,033 --> 01:12:48,767
and blow out all their gold.

1482
01:12:48,767 --> 01:12:50,634
Okay.
Look, don't do anything rash.

1483
01:12:50,634 --> 01:12:52,533
I'll be there
in 20 minutes, okay?

1484
01:12:52,533 --> 01:12:54,567
Don't do anything rash.

1485
01:12:54,567 --> 01:12:56,467
So basically
Shawn's messing with us,

1486
01:12:56,467 --> 01:12:58,934
trying to intimidate us.

1487
01:12:58,934 --> 01:13:01,533
He thinks he's the big player
up here in Nome.

1488
01:13:01,533 --> 01:13:03,300
And he thinks
I'm supposed to run away

1489
01:13:03,300 --> 01:13:04,834
when he tells me to.

1490
01:13:04,834 --> 01:13:07,400
But you know what?
The game in Nome is changing.

1491
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,000
I've worked for years
to get to this point

1492
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,800
and I have a little daughter
to support now.

1493
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,200
I'm not gonna back down
from anyone.

1494
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:15,133
Screw that.

1495
01:13:15,133 --> 01:13:16,767
Let 's roll.

1496
01:13:16,767 --> 01:13:19,066
They're right next to us.
They're on our line of gold.

1497
01:13:19,066 --> 01:13:20,634
So he jumped
right in front of us.

1498
01:13:20,634 --> 01:13:22,734
- What?
- I don't know
what the [bleep] is going on.

1499
01:13:24,767 --> 01:13:27,367
Oh,
I was having a good day.

1500
01:13:34,667 --> 01:13:35,934
Hey, Janet.

1501
01:13:35,934 --> 01:13:37,867
Hey, Vernon.
Nice to see you.

1502
01:13:37,867 --> 01:13:42,200
Let's see what, uh,
the tolls have to say today.

1503
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,800
And now
another episode
of Social Hour with Vernon.

1504
01:13:55,433 --> 01:13:57,934
Wyatt Earp really,
truly is one of my heroes.

1505
01:13:57,934 --> 01:13:59,834
I mean, he shaped America.

1506
01:13:59,834 --> 01:14:03,533
So, uh, have I been
mining gold since 1804?

1507
01:14:03,533 --> 01:14:05,967
No, I'm not quite that old.

1508
01:14:06,700 --> 01:14:08,133
I mean, do the arithmetic.

1509
01:14:08,133 --> 01:14:10,467
I was born in '46.

1510
01:14:15,634 --> 01:14:16,934
No, I did not.

1511
01:14:16,934 --> 01:14:18,266
I did not ask for one.

1512
01:14:18,266 --> 01:14:20,000
I don't need one.

1513
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:21,634
I'm old. I got money.

1514
01:14:21,634 --> 01:14:24,033
It's the old people
that's got the frigging money.

1515
01:14:24,033 --> 01:14:26,600
And now I take it as an insult

1516
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:28,300
when they ask me,
are you a senior?

1517
01:14:28,300 --> 01:14:32,367
Well [bleep] business is it
of yours if I'm a senior?

1518
01:14:32,367 --> 01:14:34,166
And you want to give me
a discount now?

1519
01:14:34,166 --> 01:14:37,166
Where was you
when I was like 20
and I needed the money?

1520
01:14:37,166 --> 01:14:40,600
Now I got enough [bleep] money
to burn a wet stump with

1521
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,800
and you wanna give me
a discount [bleep] you.

1522
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,600
And I mean that from the heart.

1523
01:14:47,033 --> 01:14:48,634
This has been
another episode

1524
01:14:48,634 --> 01:14:50,634
of Social Hour with Vernon.

1525
01:14:50,634 --> 01:14:52,567
What's the damage there, Janet?

1526
01:14:52,567 --> 01:14:53,767
- It's 14.
- Fourteen?

1527
01:14:53,767 --> 01:14:55,600
That's with the senior discount.

1528
01:15:06,700 --> 01:15:09,133
Comes right next to us
first chance he gets.

1529
01:15:09,133 --> 01:15:10,867
Dude, I don't get that.
The ocean is huge.

1530
01:15:10,867 --> 01:15:12,867
What's he doing 50 feet
away from my boat?

1531
01:15:12,867 --> 01:15:14,667
Trying to [bleep] stop me
from making it.

1532
01:15:14,667 --> 01:15:15,834
That's what he's doing.

1533
01:15:15,834 --> 01:15:17,066
That's why we're
gonna go out there.

1534
01:15:17,066 --> 01:15:19,133
We're gonna wrap this is in
right now.

1535
01:15:19,133 --> 01:15:21,500
With the Mistress
and the Christine Rose

1536
01:15:21,500 --> 01:15:24,433
headed for a showdown,
Reaper Nation Chief,

1537
01:15:24,433 --> 01:15:27,367
Kris Kelly heads
for battle stations.

1538
01:15:27,367 --> 01:15:28,867
Nobody steals
anything from me.

1539
01:15:28,867 --> 01:15:30,300
- Yeah.
- We're gonna
go out there

1540
01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:32,700
and we're gonna handle this
like men.

1541
01:15:32,700 --> 01:15:34,433
Okay, Kevin,
let's rock and roll, baby.

1542
01:15:34,433 --> 01:15:36,867
Warp speed [bleep].

1543
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:45,000
When Shawn goes and tries
to make trouble for me,
I'm not gonna back down.

1544
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,033
I'm determined to join
the heavy weights

1545
01:15:47,033 --> 01:15:48,667
and nothing's gonna stop me.

1546
01:15:50,033 --> 01:15:51,734
Wow. That's crazy.
They are close.

1547
01:15:55,667 --> 01:15:57,867
Give him a little wave
as we pass by.

1548
01:15:57,867 --> 01:15:59,667
- Yeah.
- Hey.

1549
01:15:59,667 --> 01:16:01,934
Well, I'm glad to know
they feel threatened.

1550
01:16:03,300 --> 01:16:05,367
Come on, let's go on the boat
and make some money.

1551
01:16:09,033 --> 01:16:11,300
- Hey, what's up, buddy?
- Hey.

1552
01:16:14,567 --> 01:16:18,133
He's
pissing me off.

1553
01:16:18,133 --> 01:16:20,100
- What's up, dude?
- What's going on,
James?

1554
01:16:20,100 --> 01:16:21,600
They jumped my buoy.

1555
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,533
That's my [bleep] spot.

1556
01:16:23,533 --> 01:16:26,066
This is a bunch of bull

1557
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,667
Let's swing our ass
right into their [bleep] face.

1558
01:16:31,667 --> 01:16:32,900
Protect our area.

1559
01:16:35,300 --> 01:16:36,967
- Let's do it.
- Let's play hardball.

1560
01:16:36,967 --> 01:16:38,266
Spud up.

1561
01:16:38,266 --> 01:16:39,734
Let's rock and roll, baby.

1562
01:16:44,367 --> 01:16:46,634
Stand by!

1563
01:16:46,634 --> 01:16:48,567
Right now we're gonna
move into position

1564
01:16:48,567 --> 01:16:50,166
and defend our hole.

1565
01:16:50,166 --> 01:16:53,233
No one's taking
from me this season.

1566
01:16:53,233 --> 01:16:55,100
We're going to war
it looks like.

1567
01:16:56,266 --> 01:16:58,567
We're gonna take
this fight to them!

1568
01:16:58,567 --> 01:17:00,867
Yeah, baby! Let's move out!

1569
01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:09,567
Keep going!

1570
01:17:14,834 --> 01:17:17,433
We're getting really
close now.

1571
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:23,000
them.

1572
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,500
They think this is their ocean.

1573
01:17:24,500 --> 01:17:27,400
I don't think so.
I'm here to stay.

1574
01:17:30,100 --> 01:17:31,400
Okay. We're in position!

1575
01:17:34,266 --> 01:17:36,033
And we're locked!

1576
01:17:36,033 --> 01:17:37,567
We're ready to work.

1577
01:17:37,567 --> 01:17:39,033
It's all about the gold.

1578
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,433
Come on, James. Let's do it!

1579
01:18:06,767 --> 01:18:08,300
Look at this right here, man!

1580
01:18:08,300 --> 01:18:09,867
Look at this bucket, baby!

1581
01:18:09,867 --> 01:18:12,033
Yeah, eat it!

1582
01:18:12,033 --> 01:18:14,066
Yeah, it's gonna be
a great game!

1583
01:18:14,066 --> 01:18:15,667
Oh, yeah.

1584
01:18:15,667 --> 01:18:17,834
Pomrenke and his minions think
they can scare us off,

1585
01:18:17,834 --> 01:18:19,133
but we're not backing down.

1586
01:18:19,867 --> 01:18:20,934
We're right in the perfect spot

1587
01:18:20,934 --> 01:18:22,834
and we're gonna load up
on that sweet cobble.

1588
01:18:24,266 --> 01:18:26,800
Reaper Nation is taking over
whether Shawn likes it or not.

1589
01:18:29,333 --> 01:18:31,533
Yeah! Yeah!

1590
01:18:40,834 --> 01:18:43,800
You know, the ground
I'm on right now
is what they're after.

1591
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:45,834
This is never ending cobble.

1592
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,000
It's absolutely loaded.

1593
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:54,166
Uh, this is definitely
some of the better gold
I've seen in years.

1594
01:18:56,166 --> 01:19:00,100
So if Shawn wants
to [bleep] with me,
I can handle it.

1595
01:19:00,100 --> 01:19:02,467
You know,
he wants a [bleep] war,
I'll give him one.

1596
01:19:02,467 --> 01:19:03,900
He's gonna [bleep] lose.

1597
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:17,100
[bleep] they're right
next to our bucket.

1598
01:19:17,100 --> 01:19:20,266
He better not
my machine up
'cause he's breaking the law.

1599
01:19:21,433 --> 01:19:23,800
What's going on right now
is a little battle

1600
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,433
and it's super against the law.

1601
01:19:26,433 --> 01:19:28,634
You know what,
in reality, I was here first

1602
01:19:28,634 --> 01:19:31,634
encroaches my area.

1603
01:19:31,634 --> 01:19:34,834
Back in the day,
I bet you could shoot somebody
over this [bleep].

1604
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,567
Well, here we go.
They're coming closer.

1605
01:19:41,467 --> 01:19:43,500
He's making it dangerous
right now.

1606
01:19:50,900 --> 01:19:52,333
He's getting mad back.

1607
01:19:52,333 --> 01:19:53,967
We are [bleep]

1608
01:20:08,767 --> 01:20:09,834
What the [bleep].

1609
01:20:11,033 --> 01:20:13,600
So they wanna drop material
on the [bleep] barge.

1610
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,400
Those [bleep] pieces of [bleep].

1611
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:17,700
him.

1612
01:20:20,900 --> 01:20:22,767
What the
is going on?

1613
01:20:22,767 --> 01:20:24,133
I'm pissed.

1614
01:20:24,133 --> 01:20:26,500
Turn on the water hose
and spray them.

1615
01:20:26,500 --> 01:20:28,166
Water blast them, dog.

1616
01:20:28,967 --> 01:20:30,900
Battle station!

1617
01:20:32,133 --> 01:20:34,333
Hey, water blast them!

1618
01:20:34,333 --> 01:20:37,133
They threw rocks on my barge.
Now we're blasting them.

1619
01:20:37,133 --> 01:20:39,100
Another day at the Bering Sea

1620
01:20:39,100 --> 01:20:41,533
and it's all-out war,
and I love it.

1621
01:20:41,533 --> 01:20:42,767
Ready?

1622
01:20:42,767 --> 01:20:43,934
Are you ready?

1623
01:20:43,934 --> 01:20:44,767
Yeah.

1624
01:20:46,533 --> 01:20:49,100
Yeah!

1625
01:20:49,100 --> 01:20:51,233
I'm not a [bleep] coward.

1626
01:20:51,233 --> 01:20:52,433
I'm not gonna be bullied.

1627
01:20:52,433 --> 01:20:54,500
I'm not gonna be pushed around.

1628
01:20:54,500 --> 01:20:56,433
You're not gonna stop me
from making money.

1629
01:20:56,433 --> 01:20:58,033
I gotta make this happen.

1630
01:21:02,066 --> 01:21:03,533
Just a quarter
mile away.

1631
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,667
Piece of
Kris Kelly.

1632
01:21:07,667 --> 01:21:09,266
Stupid little

1633
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,700
Idiots on the Mistress
do it illegal [bleep].

1634
01:21:15,867 --> 01:21:18,634
Kris is about ready
to get his [bleep] ass kicked

1635
01:21:18,634 --> 01:21:21,500
thinking he's
gonna jump on our spot

1636
01:21:21,500 --> 01:21:24,200
and [bleep]
with my guys?

1637
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,200
That
doesn't fly with me.

1638
01:21:27,166 --> 01:21:29,000
The situation has hit
a boiling point.

1639
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:30,667
I got plans for the summer.

1640
01:21:30,667 --> 01:21:33,533
If this keeps going on,
it's never gonna work.

1641
01:21:33,533 --> 01:21:35,567
I think it's time
for that little punk and I

1642
01:21:35,567 --> 01:21:38,166
have it out face-to-face.

1643
01:21:39,266 --> 01:21:41,533
Hey, guys, uh...

1644
01:21:45,467 --> 01:21:47,100
All right,
sounds good to me.

1645
01:21:54,667 --> 01:21:57,634
waste my
damn [bleep] time

1646
01:21:57,634 --> 01:21:59,333
with this stupid [bleep].

1647
01:22:02,367 --> 01:22:04,400
Kris Kelly and Tattoo Face

1648
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,133
are gonna get a rude awakening

1649
01:22:06,133 --> 01:22:08,767
about who in the
I am.

1650
01:22:12,433 --> 01:22:14,467
Gold game is always competitive,

1651
01:22:14,467 --> 01:22:17,000
but Kris is pushing it
past that.

1652
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,266
It's not a friendly
little competition.

1653
01:22:19,266 --> 01:22:20,934
This is war.

1654
01:22:20,934 --> 01:22:23,000
And I don't plan on losing.

1655
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:26,266
This [bleep]
laid out!

1656
01:22:29,467 --> 01:22:30,700
Coming up this season

1657
01:22:30,700 --> 01:22:32,300
on Bering Sea Gold.

1658
01:22:32,300 --> 01:22:34,133
I've had it
with Kris Kelly.

1659
01:22:34,133 --> 01:22:36,500
I'm gonna beat his ass.

1660
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:39,133
I'm ready for the world
to come against me right now.

1661
01:22:39,133 --> 01:22:40,433
I'm not gonna quit.

1662
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,567
- That's huge!
- Woo!
Oh, my gosh.

1663
01:22:47,567 --> 01:22:49,867
- Yeah.
- That's a lot of money
down there.

1664
01:22:49,867 --> 01:22:51,133
Yeah, baby!

1665
01:22:52,066 --> 01:22:53,800
The gold first and safety last.

1666
01:22:54,967 --> 01:22:56,000
Whatever it takes.

1667
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,800
Hand got
completely crushed.

1668
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,300
We're going to the ER.

1669
01:23:00,634 --> 01:23:02,433
There's a storm coming in.

1670
01:23:02,433 --> 01:23:03,934
It is rough.

1671
01:23:05,934 --> 01:23:08,900
Abandon ship!
Abandon ship!

1672
01:23:08,900 --> 01:23:11,333
- He flipped over.
- This is all very crazy.

1673
01:23:11,333 --> 01:23:12,767
I'm just as horny
as the next guy.

1674
01:23:12,767 --> 01:23:13,867
Don't get me wrong.

1675
01:23:13,867 --> 01:23:15,700
I'm gonna knock you
the [bleep] out, Kris.

1676
01:23:15,700 --> 01:23:17,600
You stupid [bleep].

1677
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,533
He can take that barge
and ram it right up
his [bleep] ass.

1678
01:23:20,533 --> 01:23:21,900
Get the [bleep] out of my face.

1679
01:23:21,900 --> 01:23:22,900
Yeah, what are you gonna do?

1680
01:23:22,900 --> 01:23:24,567
It's go time!

1681
01:23:24,567 --> 01:23:26,266
Hey, you wanna fight [bleep]?

1682
01:23:26,266 --> 01:23:28,066
Go, go, go, go.
