      I don't know too much

 and supervisor Dylan Greenwood.

30
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:51,077
            [Rooster]           
 This is probably pretty heavy. 

31
00:01:51,077 --> 00:01:52,679
          [Dylan] Yeah.         

32
00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:54,013
  It's in pretty decent shape.  

33
00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:57,383
       I think he came in       
          pretty slow,          

34
00:01:57,383 --> 00:01:58,418
 like, he came in here pretty...
        pretty easy, hey?       

35
00:01:58,418 --> 00:01:59,419
        Yeah, right here.       

36
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:02,789
    I think the driver fared    
          pretty good.          

37

      [Narrator] Hours ago,

40
00:02:22,609 --> 00:02:24,377

    the Merritt crew today...   

42
00:02:26,679 --> 00:02:28,148
            How much            
     does this thing weigh?     

43
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:30,350
           [Narrator]

44
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:33,153
             [Dylan]            
      It should be 63,000.      

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,490
       Trailer's gonna be       
          48 of those.          

46
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:38,858
   I'm that extra set of eyes   

47
00:02:38,858 --> 00:02:40,660
        that can come out       

48
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:43,129
 and say, "Hey, let's try this, 
         let's do that,"        

49
00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:45,598
       and you never know,      
         it might work.         

50
00:02:45,598 --> 00:02:48,501
           [Narrator]           
 With 40,000 pounds of cargo...

    [Narrator] ...at stake...   

52
00:02:52,138 --> 00:02:54,474
 [Dylan] I think the load inside
    is what carried it over,    

53
00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:55,808
       'cause the dip here      

54
00:02:55,808 --> 00:02:57,243
     is deeper on this side     

55
00:02:57,243 --> 00:02:58,845
    than it is on the front.    

56
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:01,314
           [Narrator]           
    ...Dylan needs to decide    

57
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:03,950
 if they'll right the transport 

58
00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:06,653
      with the load inside.     

59
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:10,123
             [Dylan]            
 If you bring it all up as one, 

60
00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:12,659
    if something goes wrong,    

61
00:03:12,659 --> 00:03:14,494
       you don't look like      
      a superhero anymore.      

62
00:03:15,795 --> 00:03:16,963
    [Dylan] We don't usually    
         try 'em loaded,        

63
00:03:16,963 --> 00:03:20,033
           but I think          
    it might work out for us.   

64
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:21,668
            Hopefully           
  we don't have to go back home 

65
00:03:21,668 --> 00:03:23,503

         That's gonna go

      Keep going, Rooster!      

107
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:47,180

        two trucks on it,       

108
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,848

   If one truck starts pulling  

111
00:05:58,458 --> 00:05:59,826

00:18:04,383 --> 00:18:06,785
   [Dylan] We definitely need   
 to get this highway open again.

   we get the rigging perfect.  

331
00:18:19,665 --> 00:18:22,034
 I just need Rooster to hold it 
       so I can maneuver.       

332
00:18:22,034 --> 00:18:23,335
        Once I maneuver,

     [Dylan] Okay, Rooster.     

336
00:18:32,177 --> 00:18:35,013

            [sighing]           

340
00:18:41,153 --> 00:18:43,388
   My hydraulics are acting up  

341
00:18:43,388 --> 00:18:44,256
         on Black Sheep.        

342
00:18:45,224 --> 00:18:46,592
   It hasn't leaked anything,   
             has it?            

343
00:18:46,592 --> 00:18:48,227
             Dylan!             

344
00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:51,864
    This is going to be bad.

   [Rooster] Winches are down   
       to 1,000 psi both.       

346
00:18:56,902 --> 00:18:59,905
       It just idled down.      

347
00:19:03,208 --> 00:19:06,178
  Could you just jump up there, 
     just look at the winch?    

348
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:09,748
     It's not doing nothing.    

349
00:19:09,748 --> 00:19:13,218
 [James] The winches right now, 

350
00:19:13,218 --> 00:19:14,586
       they're not pulling      

351
00:19:14,586 --> 00:19:17,689
         with the power         
       that it should be.       

352
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:23,929
         It's the winch!        

353
00:19:24,863 --> 00:19:26,698
             [Dylan]            
    They're both not working.   

354
00:19:28,066 --> 00:19:30,135
         It's definitely        
   a huge problem on this job.  

355
00:19:36,808 --> 00:19:39,278
         I'm all excited        
     to do this recovery...     

356
00:19:40,445 --> 00:19:42,247
    [Rooster] It won't winch!   

357
00:19:42,247 --> 00:19:44,416
            [Rooster]           
  It's a little disheartening.  

358
00:19:44,416 --> 00:19:47,219
         [James] Oh no!         

359
00:19:47,219 --> 00:19:48,120
     It feels like I'm never    
      going to get it done.     

360
00:19:49,254 --> 00:19:51,290
        [James] Nothing!        

361
00:19:51,290 --> 00:19:53,926

364
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,509
           [Narrator]           
    ...a sudden breakdown ...   

365
00:20:12,344 --> 00:20:15,714
     [Rooster] We just lost     
       all pulling power.       

366
00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:17,082
           Definitely

372
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:35,167
             [James]            
   What if we locked them in,   

373
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:38,737
    pulled the truck forward    
    till it puts tension on?

    Pull some tension on it,

    [James] Just standing by.   

430
00:23:14,926 --> 00:23:16,628
       We're just waiting

        The Merritt crew

00:24:12,717 --> 00:24:15,554
            [AJ Case]           
  I'm headed to Dogwood Valley. 

438
00:24:15,554 --> 00:24:18,457

   ...is in the Fraser Canyon.  

443
00:24:36,675 --> 00:24:39,845
           I was told           
    it's a simple access road   

444
00:24:39,845 --> 00:24:41,313
   with a little bit of snow.   

445
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:47,452
     This is not what I got     
       on the phone call.       

446
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:50,455
   [Narrator] The situation...  

447
00:24:50,455 --> 00:24:52,624
       Yeah, this is bad.       

448
00:24:52,624 --> 00:24:55,994
           [Narrator]           
   ...is not what AJ expected.  

449
00:24:57,395 --> 00:25:01,132
  [AJ] There's two feet of snow 
    that I'm plowing through.   

450
00:25:01,132 --> 00:25:02,300
           This isn't           
    going to be good at all.    

451
00:25:06,004 --> 00:25:08,139
  No, I'm not happy with this.  

452
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:15,146
     The wheels are rubbing     

453
00:25:15,146 --> 00:25:16,982
    right up against the side   
        of the snowbank.        

454
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:21,019
    I need to keep momentum,    

455
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:23,188
otherwise I'm going to be stuck.

456
00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:37,869
           [Narrator]           
    Off the Canyon highway...   

457
00:25:40,071 --> 00:25:42,674
           This is not          
  what I got on the phone call.

           [Narrator]           
    ...AJ faces more white...   

459
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:51,683
        Okay, this road's       
 a lot skinnier than I thought. 

460
00:25:51,683 --> 00:25:54,119
           [Narrator]           
    ...than he bargained for.   

461
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,054
          [Jamie Davis]         
   It's a little intimidating   

462
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:58,490
   to be out on the back roads  
         at night time.         

463
00:25:59,658 --> 00:26:01,159
 You've got to be on your toes. 

464
00:26:04,195 --> 00:26:06,031
     We're coming up to him     
           right here.          

465
00:26:06,031 --> 00:26:07,432
      [Narrator] Finally...     

466
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:15,273
    ...AJ reaches his target.   

467
00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:19,377
              Whoa.             

468
00:26:19,377 --> 00:26:21,112
        It's stuck-stuck.       

469
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:24,416
   It's right up to the bumper  
          on the front.         

470
00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:25,951
  The driver's side is beached. 

471
00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:28,420
  I'm going to try to back up.  

472
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:29,588
     My main goal right now     

473
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:30,922
     is just get out of here    

474
00:26:30,922 --> 00:26:32,424
     without getting stuck.     

475
00:26:32,424 --> 00:26:35,260
    -[customer] Okay, thanks.   
          -No worries.          

476
00:26:39,197 --> 00:26:41,433
         [AJ] This truck        
 is at the bottom of the hill...

477
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:42,634
          These chains          
       are nice and tight,      

478
00:26:42,634 --> 00:26:44,636
     which is what we want.     

479
00:26:44,636 --> 00:26:46,471
       There's no clearing      
     for me to turn around.     

480
00:26:46,471 --> 00:26:49,307
        It just gives it        
     something to bite onto     

481
00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:50,909
        through the ice.        

482
00:26:50,909 --> 00:26:52,277
           [Narrator]           
      To get positioned...

486
00:27:01,419 --> 00:27:04,889
           [Narrator]           
   ...AJ needs to reverse up,   

487
00:27:04,889 --> 00:27:07,425

490
00:27:13,598 --> 00:27:16,768
   [AJ] Hopefully I can stick   
         some new tracks        

491
00:27:16,768 --> 00:27:19,070
      and stick the corner

    I'm gonna give it a shot.

  ...but it's an uphill battle. 

495
00:27:31,116 --> 00:27:32,017
      [AJ] This ain't good.

        [tires spinning]        

497
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:47,999
         Now I'm stuck.         

498
00:27:47,999 --> 00:27:50,135
          [AJ] This is          
    very frustrating for me.    

499
00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:53,605
   I'm kind of making a scene,  

500

      [Ty] He can come back     
         a little more.         

562
00:30:54,185 --> 00:30:55,653
      [air brakes hissing]      

563
00:30:55,653 --> 00:30:57,388
 [James] You're going, big guy! 

564
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:07,232
  The power that they can pull, 

565
00:31:07,232 --> 00:31:09,667
  hopefully it'll pull towards  
        where we need it.       

566
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,475
          There you go.         

567
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,349
   [Dylan] Just hold onto it.   

568
00:31:25,850 --> 00:31:28,319
   [Ty] We're digging in here!  

569
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:30,588
              Hey!              

570
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:39,764
   [Ty] We're digging in here!  

571
00:31:39,764 --> 00:31:41,165
              Hey!              

572
00:31:41,165 --> 00:31:42,467
   [Narrator] Near Merritt...   

573
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:44,535
   [Dylan] Just hold onto it.   

574
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:47,138
           [Narrator]           
      ...Dylan and his team     

575
00:31:47,138 --> 00:31:49,974
    are in the final stage...   

576
00:31:49,974 --> 00:31:51,175
 [Ty] I know that's gonna break.

577
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:55,914
           [Narrator]           
  ...of a gruelling tug of war. 

578
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:58,750
  [James] There's another chain 
          right there.          

579
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,451
     You always try to keep     
     the thing as one piece.    

580
00:32:00,451 --> 00:32:02,820
        A lot of pressure       
     focused on that, buddy.    

581
00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:06,491
  [Dylan] If you rip it apart,  

582
00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:08,192
    your night's going to get   
       a whole lot longer.      

583
00:32:08,192 --> 00:32:10,528
      [Ty] Like, if we can      
      get through the rim?      

584
00:32:10,528 --> 00:32:11,629
             [Dylan]            
   I can get you a rim sling.   

585
00:32:11,629 --> 00:32:14,198
    [Ty] Yeah, and let's try    
         and pick it up.        

586
00:32:14,198 --> 00:32:16,200
           [Narrator]           
     They need to make sure     

587
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,038
  all rig points are ironclad.  

588
00:32:20,038 --> 00:32:21,806
    [Ty] Having the rim sling   
       through the tire...      

589
00:32:21,806 --> 00:32:23,141
      [Dylan] That's good.      

590
00:32:23,141 --> 00:32:26,144
  ...allows us to pick and lift 
    the front of the tractor    

591
00:32:26,144 --> 00:32:27,612
           as we pull.          

592
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:29,714
      [James] Okay, buddy.      

593
00:32:38,222 --> 00:32:40,892
    [Dylan] That's okay, yup!   

594
00:32:46,531 --> 00:32:47,966
             [James]            
    As we're doing the pull,    

595
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:49,968
   I gotta watch and make sure  
          that the wall         

596
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:51,402
          is not going          
      to fall apart on us.      

597
00:32:55,506 --> 00:32:56,574
 [Ty] We can take this one off. 

598
00:32:56,574 --> 00:32:57,642
          [Dylan] Okay.         

599
00:32:57,642 --> 00:32:59,043
    We can do one more pull,    

600
00:32:59,043 --> 00:33:00,378
         and we'll throw        
    to the fifth-wheel plate.   

601
00:33:00,378 --> 00:33:01,679
           [Ty] Yeah.           

602
00:33:04,615 --> 00:33:07,185
  [Ty] Yeah, we'll pull ahead,  
      we'll let traffic go.     

603
00:33:20,932 --> 00:33:23,334
           Pull on it.          

604
00:33:25,103 --> 00:33:26,671
       Come on, Ty, pull!       

605
00:33:27,572 --> 00:33:31,275
        [Ty] We only have       
    a little bit left to do.    

606
00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:32,977
 We were finally able to get it 
   to where it's sitting now.   

607
00:33:32,977 --> 00:33:34,178
   [Dylan] Just keep that line  
          at the front,         

608
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:35,113
 and you'll just pull it ahead. 

609
00:33:35,113 --> 00:33:36,280
        [Ty] Yeah, yeah.        

610
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,216
     [Dylan] As a customer,     

611
00:33:38,216 --> 00:33:40,084
   they don't want their truck  
       to be ripped apart.      

612
00:33:41,252 --> 00:33:42,553
   [Dylan] Gonna roll, buddy.   

613
00:33:42,553 --> 00:33:45,123
  [Josh] Yeah, they're rolling. 

614
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:47,959
     [Dylan] They don't want    
         the tow company        

615
00:33:47,959 --> 00:33:49,527
    to make their life worse.   

616
00:33:51,429 --> 00:33:53,131
          [Josh] Sweet.         

617
00:33:55,566 --> 00:33:56,601
      [air brakes hissing]      

618
00:33:57,935 --> 00:34:00,805
       It's in one piece.       
         Job went well.         

619
00:34:00,805 --> 00:34:03,241
        [Ty] Are we out?        

620
00:34:03,241 --> 00:34:04,942
          [Dylan] Yup!          

621
00:34:04,942 --> 00:34:06,811
  [James] It's great to be back 

622
00:34:06,811 --> 00:34:07,812
     with the Reliable team     
           in Merritt.          

623
00:34:09,247 --> 00:34:11,783
        [Ty] Keep coming!       

624
00:34:11,783 --> 00:34:13,718
          [Dylan] Good!         

625
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:15,119
     [Ty] Yeah, you got 'er!    

626
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:16,587
             Beauty.            

627
00:34:16,587 --> 00:34:17,722
             [Dylan]            
    Well, thanks for coming.    

628
00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:18,790
     -Yeah, man, absolutely.    
        -I appreciate it.       

629
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:19,891
         Yeah, for sure.        

630
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:21,325
       Working with Dylan       
       is always a treat.       

631
00:34:21,325 --> 00:34:23,061
        -Good seeing ya.        
 -Yeah, we'll see you next time.

632
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:26,264
  -Yeah, have a good one, bud.  
            -You too!           

633
00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:28,766
    [Suki] This is a huge win   

634
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:29,801
    to see everyone succeed.    

635
00:34:30,935 --> 00:34:32,937
   It's great for our company   

636
00:34:32,937 --> 00:34:34,572
     and for our customers.     

637
00:34:43,648 --> 00:34:45,750
   [Narrator] Two hours away,   

638
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:48,019
              AJ...             

639
00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:50,154
        [AJ] I'm furious,       

640
00:34:50,154 --> 00:34:51,522
    but I need to keep calm.    

641
00:34:51,522 --> 00:34:55,026
  [Narrator] ...is stuck alone  

642
00:34:55,026 --> 00:34:57,595
     on a brutal back road.     

643
00:34:58,629 --> 00:34:59,597
   [AJ] Clear the loose stuff,  

644
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:00,798
      like, this is loose.      

645
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:04,869
             [Jamie]            
     AJ, he's a hard worker.    

646
00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:07,038
   He needs to adapt to things  
        as they change...       

647
00:35:07,038 --> 00:35:08,873
  [AJ] Down there is hard-pack. 

648
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:10,374
      ...and he needs to be     
       quick on his feet.       

649
00:35:10,374 --> 00:35:13,544
         So I'm going to        
      hand-bomb it for now.     

650
00:35:14,545 --> 00:35:15,947
    [AJ] I can't go over it,    

651
00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:17,381
    I can't go through it...    

652
00:35:19,884 --> 00:35:20,885
    I'll just get rid of it.    

653
00:35:20,885 --> 00:35:23,254
           [exhaling]           

654
00:35:25,022 --> 00:35:27,692
           [Narrator]           
    ...AJ needs to reposition   

655
00:35:27,692 --> 00:35:30,361
       through heavy snow       

656
00:35:30,361 --> 00:35:33,197
   to recover a utility truck.  

657
00:35:39,837 --> 00:35:41,506
    Let's give this a whirl.    

658
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:55,586
           I'm hitting          
      the side of the bank      

659
00:35:55,586 --> 00:35:57,421
         on both sides.         

660
00:36:05,530 --> 00:36:06,531
 I've finally made it to a point

661
00:36:06,531 --> 00:36:08,266
    where I can turn around,    
           come back.           

662
00:36:13,905 --> 00:36:15,673
  The snow's quite thick here.  

663
00:36:17,742 --> 00:36:19,343
         I am so nervous        
       to get stuck again.      

664
00:36:28,052 --> 00:36:30,821
     [Narrator] AJ stops...     

665
00:36:30,821 --> 00:36:33,491
         I want to stay         
    as far this way as I can.   

666
00:36:35,593 --> 00:36:40,131
           [Narrator]           
   ...at the top of the hill.   

667
00:36:41,899 --> 00:36:43,234
 [AJ] I don't want to put myself
         in the position        

668
00:36:43,234 --> 00:36:45,236
 where I'm gonna have to shovel 
     for another two hours.     

669
00:36:49,607 --> 00:36:51,576
           [Narrator]           
       Using extra rigging      

670
00:36:51,576 --> 00:36:54,679
    to extend the pull line,    

671
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:59,150
   AJ needs to winch the unit   
            200 feet.           

672
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:05,723
          [AJ] You play         
  with the cards you're dealt.  

673
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:06,924
        I'm going to use        
         whatever I have        

674
00:37:06,924 --> 00:37:11,128
    to go from my winch line    
    to the back of his truck.   

675
00:37:11,128 --> 00:37:15,466
   I'm using my J-hook bridle   
     to hook onto his hitch,    

676
00:37:15,466 --> 00:37:17,969
    and I'm going to be using   
         my wheel-strap         

677
00:37:17,969 --> 00:37:19,804
     because it's got a loop    
           on one end           

678
00:37:19,804 --> 00:37:20,638
    and a chain on the other.   

679
00:37:20,638 --> 00:37:22,506
  It's got a safe working load  

680
00:37:22,506 --> 00:37:26,644
        of 3,330 pounds,        

681
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:29,080
         and a tear rate        

682
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,482
   of 5,000 something pounds,   

683
00:37:31,482 --> 00:37:34,518
    which the vehicle weighs    
       about 5,000 pounds,      

684
00:37:34,518 --> 00:37:37,455
    probably has 1,000 pounds   
         of tools in it.        

685
00:37:37,455 --> 00:37:38,923
          [Jamie] AJ...         

686
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:41,425
 he actually kind of reminds me 
    of me when I was younger.   

687
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:43,094
          It could come         
      flying back that way      

688
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:44,028
     or flying up that way.     

689
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:50,001
    He's in there, you know,    
    all in, gettin' 'er done.   

690
00:37:51,802 --> 00:37:53,971
  So just keep it in four high, 

691
00:37:53,971 --> 00:37:55,106
        and then reverse        

692
00:37:55,106 --> 00:37:56,540
       and just let it go       
        at its own pace.        

693
00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:02,947
           I'm hoping           
    this is my golden ticket    

694
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:03,881
       to get out of here.      

695
00:38:19,497 --> 00:38:21,299
             Uh-oh.             

696
00:38:24,035 --> 00:38:26,871
           The truck's          
     starting to move mine,     

697
00:38:26,871 --> 00:38:28,339
        which isn't good.       

698
00:38:28,339 --> 00:38:30,141
              Whoa!             

699
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:37,848
           [Narrator]           
     In the Fraser Canyon...    

700
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:40,551

         is a battle...         

704
00:38:55,566 --> 00:38:57,868
         for every inch.        

705
00:38:57,868 --> 00:39:01,138
     I don't want to be here    
  any longer than I need to be.

00:39:01,138 --> 00:39:02,973
       [winch struggling]       

707
00:39:02,973 --> 00:39:04,375
 It's time to get this guy out. 

708
00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:11,482
      [AJ] Oh, there we go.     

709
00:39:11,482 --> 00:39:13,684
     We're getting movement

     [Narrator] ...digs in.     

713
00:39:24,729 --> 00:39:26,030
   This is what I want to see.  

714
00:39:28,733 --> 00:39:31,936
      Nothing's damaged...      

715
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:35,373
 and I want to keep it that way.

           I can take

           [winching]           

720
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:06,737
      Let's get out of here

           [winching]           

722
00:40:16,781 --> 00:40:18,382
          The next step

723
00:40:26,624 --> 00:40:27,658
   [Narrator] One more run...   

724

725
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:41,806
           [Narrator]           
 ...and the punishing stretch...

726
00:40:41,806 --> 00:40:44,809
      [AJ] Oh, this, yeah.      

727
00:40:44,809 --> 00:40:46,610
  This was the narrowest part.

00:40:46,610 --> 00:40:50,281
           [Narrator]           
  ...is in the rearview mirror. 

729
00:40:51,615 --> 00:40:53,451
       [AJ] Feels amazing,      

730
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:54,452
       other than the fact      

731
00:40:54,452 --> 00:40:55,753
      that we're still out      
         in the back 40.        

732
00:40:59,089 --> 00:41:00,458
            Perfect.

    Yeah, we're all set here.

       [car honking twice]      

736
00:41:15,940 --> 00:41:18,175
    [AJ] I'm just happy that    
   the customer's on the road,  

737
00:41:18,175 --> 00:41:19,343
        and I am as well.       

738
00:41:22,379 --> 00:41:24,815
      I'm three hours late      
         for my bedtime.        

739
00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:44,001

     In the town of Hope...

00:41:44,001 --> 00:41:46,804
             [Jamie]            
 There's no palm trees in here. 

741
00:41:46,804 --> 00:41:48,138
      We're not in the land     
        of the sunshine.        

742
00:41:49,206 --> 00:41:50,274
     Did you get everything?    

743
00:41:50,274 --> 00:41:51,509
         [AJ] Yes, sir.         

744
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:53,043
             [Jamie]

        [Jamie] Oh, yeah.       

748
00:41:58,148 --> 00:41:59,850
        That'll make some       
       good teeth, though,

     I'm keeping my eye on.     

752
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:09,493
    [AJ] So we're gonna make    
          some cleats.          

753
00:42:09,493 --> 00:42:11,662
             [Jamie]            
   I enjoy having him around.   

754
00:42:11,662 --> 00:42:12,930
       He's a hard worker.      

755
00:42:12,930 --> 00:42:15,466
     I'll hold this for you     
        for the first one       

756
00:42:15,466 --> 00:42:16,800
   just to give you guided up.

 there it is, I'm right on that.

00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,242
  I'm a very hands-on learner.  

760
00:42:25,242 --> 00:42:27,778
     Jamie's one of the best    
     teachers that I've had.    

761
00:42:29,713 --> 00:42:32,983
             [Jamie]            
   He's mechanically inclined.  

762
00:42:32,983 --> 00:42:34,084
       He's got, you know,      
          aspirations.          

763
00:42:35,686 --> 00:42:38,822
         I really think         
    he's got huge potential.    

764
00:42:38,822 --> 00:42:40,758
         Gonna be there
