You know, Josh,
there's so much about the case
5
00:00:10,266 --> 00:00:12,333
that the public doesn't know,
that we don't know.
6
00:00:13,567 --> 00:00:16,266
There seems to be
a pattern of locations,
7
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:18,166
that would make
perfect hideouts,
8
00:00:18,166 --> 00:00:19,667

been investigated.

There could be cash out there,
guns, jewelry.

-Yeah, I got one, too.

what I think it is?

[Stewart] Hold on,
is that a bullet hole?
22
00:00:45,066 --> 00:00:46,867
What if this was
from the Barrow Gang's stash?

the Bonnie and Clyde story
79

starts right here
in West Dallas.
80
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:18,500
This was an area
that was thought of as,
81
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:20,467
"the wrong side
of the bridge."
82
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:22,767
A place known as
the "Devil's Back Porch,"
83
00:03:22,767 --> 00:03:25,166
because it produced
so many criminals.
84
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:28,100
And it was in
this place of crushing poverty
85
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:30,266
that Bonnie and Clyde
were forged.

that a 20-year-old
turkey thief
named Clyde Barrow

with an artistic 19-year-old

achieve such infamy?

and maybe even
the riches they left behind.

and see what we can find,

that Clyde is arrested
in 1930 for stealing a car.

He's sentenced
to serve his time

Eastham Prison.

[Josh] Fortunately for Clyde,
he's not there for long.

Ah, the things we do for love.

But he's soon caught
once again,

takes its toll.

that he went in a school boy
and came out a rattle snake.

Right. So once
he's out of that prison,

00:07:20,767 --> 00:07:22,767
where they often make
quick getaways
175
00:07:22,767 --> 00:07:24,767
in stolen cars.
176
00:07:24,767 --> 00:07:28,000
Along with Clyde's
childhood friend, W.D. Jones,
177
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,567
Clyde's brother Buck
178
00:07:29,567 --> 00:07:31,367
and Buck's wife Blanche,
179
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:33,667
the Barrow Gang
as they become known,
180
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:35,634
leave chaos in their wake.
181
00:07:36,367 --> 00:07:37,667
As I go through this
one of the things
182
00:07:37,667 --> 00:07:40,567
that jumps out to me
is so many of these crimes
183
00:07:40,567 --> 00:07:41,967
-are so small.
-Yes.
184
00:07:41,967 --> 00:07:43,166
-And yet...
-Yeah.
185
00:07:43,166 --> 00:07:46,100
-...Bonnie and Clyde
are household names.
-Yes.
186
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:49,166
-But they are not
knocking over the Bellagio.
-No.
187
00:07:49,166 --> 00:07:51,166
So, why did they become
so famous?
188
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:53,667
Well, you know, Josh, I mean,
this was the Great Depression.
189
00:07:53,667 --> 00:07:55,800
Um, you know,
a lot of people
are out of work,
190
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,867
a lot of people struggling
but it was that,
191
00:07:57,867 --> 00:08:00,567
it was also the,
the golden age of crime.
192
00:08:00,567 --> 00:08:03,567
You had criminal celebrities,
John Dillinger,
193
00:08:03,567 --> 00:08:04,967
-Pretty Boy Floyd...
-Yeah.
194
00:08:04,967 --> 00:08:07,934
...and so in an effort I think
to sell newspapers,
195
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:11,467
uh, you never had
a boyfriend-girlfriend team.
196
00:08:11,467 --> 00:08:13,367
-Right. Lovers with guns!
-Yeah. Exactly.
197
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:16,266
-That sells papers. Yeah.
-That sells newspapers, yes.
198
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:19,000
[Josh] These star-crossed
and well-armed lovers
199
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,166
become national sensations.
200
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:22,767
Years later their exploits
201
00:08:22,767 --> 00:08:24,767
also sell
a lot of movie tickets,
202
00:08:24,767 --> 00:08:28,266
when in 1967,
Feya Dunaway and Warren Beatty
203
00:08:28,266 --> 00:08:30,700
used their star power
and sex appeal
204
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,467
to cement the couples' place
in cinematic immortality.
205
00:08:34,467 --> 00:08:38,300
But the real story
in these files
is far less romantic.
206
00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:40,266
Bonnie, Clyde and their gang
207
00:08:40,266 --> 00:08:41,700
are responsible
for the murders
208
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:45,567
of around 13 people,
nine of them law men.
209
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:49,800
It's really hard
to get a clear sense
of these two people.
210
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,967
They're kids.
You know, she's a poet,
211
00:08:51,967 --> 00:08:53,500
-she's a dreamer.
-Mm-hm.
212
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,600
But clearly they're also
213
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,667
you know, not afraid
of murdering people!
214
00:08:58,667 --> 00:09:00,767
Without a doubt,
and, you know,
215
00:09:00,767 --> 00:09:02,200
a big part of that was driven,
216
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,767
at least from
Clyde's view point is,
217
00:09:03,767 --> 00:09:05,467
"I'm never
going back to prison."
218
00:09:05,467 --> 00:09:06,367
Right.
219
00:09:07,967 --> 00:09:10,266
[Josh] In that at least,
he was successful.
220
00:09:10,266 --> 00:09:11,700
Bonnie and Clyde were dead
221
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,100
before anyone
could cage him again.
222
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,266
But the question is,
"Did the Barrow Gang
223
00:09:16,266 --> 00:09:19,300
leave anything behind
for us to find?"
224
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,567
-So I know you've gone through
all these documents...
-Yes.
225
00:09:21,567 --> 00:09:22,700
-...what has jumped
out to you?
-Yes.
226
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:24,500
Geography, Josh,
which jumps out to me.
227
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:28,166
There seems to be
a pattern of locations
228
00:09:28,166 --> 00:09:30,066
that would make
perfect hideouts,
229
00:09:30,066 --> 00:09:31,467
that has never
been investigated.
230
00:09:31,467 --> 00:09:33,467
-And when you
talk about a hideout...
-Yeah.
231
00:09:33,467 --> 00:09:35,700
...like, what could stand
to be in a place like that?
232
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,166
Josh, there could be
cash out there,
233
00:09:38,166 --> 00:09:39,667
guns, jewelry.
234
00:09:39,667 --> 00:09:41,567
Anything associated
with Bonnie and Clyde
235
00:09:41,567 --> 00:09:44,867
is gonna be valuable
historically and monetarily.
236
00:09:44,867 --> 00:09:46,667
A few years ago, uh,
237
00:09:46,667 --> 00:09:50,767
Bonnie's snub nose .38
and Clyde's .45 automatic
had auctioned.
238
00:09:50,767 --> 00:09:52,900
Went for a
quarter million dollars each.
239
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:54,667
-A quarter of million each?
-Yes.
240
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:55,867
Let me take you to the board.
241
00:09:55,867 --> 00:09:57,900
-Okay.
-Yeah.
242
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:01,000
Stewart takes me through
the geography on a map,
243
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,266
specifically
the FBI files indicate
244
00:10:03,266 --> 00:10:05,066
a number of areas in Texas
245
00:10:05,066 --> 00:10:07,467
where the gang was active
but elusive.
246
00:10:07,467 --> 00:10:10,400
Which means they likely
had a hideout here.
247
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,000
It turns out that Clyde
also had family connections
to this region.
248
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,400
This includes Nacogdoches
where Clyde's mother was born.
249
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,066
And Martinsville
where his aunt lived.
250
00:10:21,066 --> 00:10:23,867
Clyde committed crimes,
in San Augustine.
251
00:10:23,867 --> 00:10:26,066
There were sightings of him
in Shelbyville.
252
00:10:26,066 --> 00:10:29,800
And he was seen
visiting a cousin
in the town of Center.
253
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,100
And, Josh, if you notice
those pins make up
a really defined area.
254
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:33,300
-[Josh] Absolutely.
-Right?
255
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,266
-[Josh] We're clustered
right here...
-Yes.
256
00:10:35,266 --> 00:10:36,667
-[Josh] ...on far east Texas.
-Exactly.
257
00:10:36,667 --> 00:10:38,367
-I've got a new lead.
-Okay.
258
00:10:38,367 --> 00:10:40,500
Yeah, on some private property
259
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:42,200
that's right in the middle
of that cluster.
260
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,500
-Like, right in here?
-Right in there.
261
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,033
-Okay. What's here?
-Yeah. A cave.
262
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,767
-A cave?
-A cave.
263
00:10:47,767 --> 00:10:49,266
There's a local legend there,
264
00:10:49,266 --> 00:10:51,266
that they hid out there
regularly.
265
00:10:51,266 --> 00:10:52,867
People have talked about it
for years.
266
00:10:52,867 --> 00:10:54,367
-And this was never searched?
-No.
267
00:10:54,367 --> 00:10:56,667
And what about
access there today?
268
00:10:56,667 --> 00:10:58,266
So I've contacted
the property owner.
269
00:10:58,266 --> 00:11:01,100
I have some coordinates
and a general area to search.
270
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,166
-And we're good to go.
-We got permission?
271
00:11:03,166 --> 00:11:04,967
-We got permission, yeah.
-All right.
272
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:06,934
-Let's go.
-Yeah.
273
00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:10,066
[upbeat music playing]
274
00:11:10,066 --> 00:11:12,867
[Josh] To find a cave near
where Clyde's family lived
275
00:11:12,867 --> 00:11:14,367
that oral tradition claims
276
00:11:14,367 --> 00:11:16,467
was one of Bonnie
and Clyde's hideouts,
277
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:21,634
we follow Stewart's map
and head about 200 miles east
towards Center, Texas.
278
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,166
So, here's my big
Bonnie and Clyde question.
279
00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:28,000
These two are not, like,
polished criminals.
280
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,667
Yeah, I mean, they're flying
by the seat of their pants.
281
00:11:30,667 --> 00:11:32,700
Right. And let's talk about
who is chasing them,
282
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,367
-because it's
a lot of people, right?
-It's a lot of people.
283
00:11:35,367 --> 00:11:37,000
Okay, so, how are they
pulling this off?
284
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,600
Uh, that's a really
good question, Josh.
285
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,667
They had a couple of
secret weapons.
286
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:42,800
And on our way
over to East Texas,
287
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,300
I think I could show you
one of them.
288
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:46,200
-You can?
-I think so. Yeah.
289
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,066
All right. Secret weapon.
290
00:11:50,066 --> 00:11:51,867
[Josh] To learn
how Bonnie and Clyde
291
00:11:51,867 --> 00:11:54,200
managed to make
so many daring getaways
292
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,400
without being caught,
293
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,467
Stewart directs me
off the main route
294
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,567
and down a country road.
295
00:11:59,567 --> 00:12:04,567
Soon we find ourselves
surrounded by buildings
overflowing with antiques.
296
00:12:04,567 --> 00:12:07,367
All of them owned
by a man named Sam.
297
00:12:07,367 --> 00:12:08,867
Josh, I want you
to meet Sam Adam.
298
00:12:08,867 --> 00:12:10,867
-Well, hello, Josh.
-[Josh] How are you?
I'm a big fan of your beer.
299
00:12:10,867 --> 00:12:12,800
-Well, thank you very much.
-And your revolution.
300
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,667
Well, I wish I could
claim them both
but I can't claim neither.
301
00:12:15,667 --> 00:12:17,667
-Different Sam Adam?
-Yes, sir.
302
00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:20,100
Uh, I take it just
from looking around here,
303
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,467
you're something
of a collector?
304
00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:22,467
I am.
305
00:12:22,467 --> 00:12:24,200
-Josh, he may
have too many cars.
-Yeah.
306
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,367
There's two in particular
307
00:12:25,367 --> 00:12:27,400
-that I asked him
to pull out for us.
-Okay.
308
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,166
This is a 1929, Ford Model A.
309
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:33,600
It is indicative
of what police
would've had in 1934.
310
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,467
[Josh] So, this really was
the cop car of its day?
311
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:37,700
[Stewart] Yeah, I mean, Josh,
this was very typical
312
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:39,867
-of the law enforcement car
in those days.
-[Josh] Got it.
313
00:12:39,867 --> 00:12:41,200
And behind door number two?
314
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,867
[Sam] This, this car
is 1934 Ford V-8.
315
00:12:44,867 --> 00:12:47,867
It is an exact
and true replica
316
00:12:47,867 --> 00:12:50,400
of the one that
Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker
317
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,967
were driving,
the last car they ever drove,
before they were ambushed.
318
00:12:53,967 --> 00:12:56,700
So was this, like,
a preferred car for Clyde?
319
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:59,700
Absolutely. I mean, he almost
exclusively stole these.
320
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:01,667
-So this is really
a head-to-head.
-[Stewart] Yeah.
321
00:13:01,667 --> 00:13:05,567
-This is law enforcement
versus, uh, criminals.
-[Sam] Yes.
322
00:13:05,567 --> 00:13:07,800
Okay, and how do
they match up?
323
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,166
Fellows, we can talk
about this whole day,
324
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:11,567
why don't you drive it?
325
00:13:11,567 --> 00:13:13,166
-Find out for yourself.
-[Stewart laughs]
326
00:13:13,166 --> 00:13:14,834
-We can drive them?
-You can.
327
00:13:15,266 --> 00:13:16,367
Let's do this.
328
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,767
[Josh] It's Ford versus Ford.
329
00:13:19,767 --> 00:13:21,867
V-8 versus Model A.
330
00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:26,200
Former G-man
versus a poor substitute
for Clyde Barrow.
331
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Sam and Stewart even managed
332
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,467
to get a few miles
of county road shut down.
333
00:13:30,467 --> 00:13:31,967
Josh, you ready?
334
00:13:31,967 --> 00:13:34,166
-All right, I think I'm ready.
-Ha-ha.
335
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:35,767
Now, take your shoes off.
336
00:13:35,767 --> 00:13:36,867
What?
337
00:13:36,867 --> 00:13:39,900
Clyde Barrow never drove
with the shoes on.
338
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:42,500
[Josh] When Clyde
served his time
in Eastham Prison
339
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:47,000
conditions were so brutal
that Clyde took off
a toe-and-a-half with an axe
340
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,166
to get out of work detail.
341
00:13:49,166 --> 00:13:51,667
As a result he never
walked right again
342
00:13:51,667 --> 00:13:53,934
and he never
drove in his shoes.
343
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:58,567
Now, you're ready.
344
00:13:58,567 --> 00:14:00,767
I remember Warren Beatty
taking his shoes off.
345
00:14:00,767 --> 00:14:02,333
Josh, you're not
Warren Beatty.
346
00:14:03,367 --> 00:14:04,734
[laughing]
347
00:14:06,567 --> 00:14:07,667
[Josh] Let's do this.
348
00:14:07,667 --> 00:14:09,567
-[Sam] You ready, Josh?
-I'm ready.
349
00:14:09,567 --> 00:14:11,200
-You're ready, Stewart?
-Ready.
350
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,166
When I drop my hat,
you may begin.
351
00:14:14,166 --> 00:14:15,967
[dramatic music playing]
352
00:14:15,967 --> 00:14:18,734
[engines revving]
353
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,367
Here we go!
354
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:30,066
[laughs]
355
00:14:32,266 --> 00:14:33,867
[upbeat music playing]
356
00:14:33,867 --> 00:14:36,467
You're about to go down.
Here we go.
357
00:14:36,467 --> 00:14:39,967
-[laughs exultantly]
-Come on, Stewart!
358
00:14:39,967 --> 00:14:42,166
[Josh] To understand how
Clyde Barrow and his gang
359
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:44,667
managed to stay
one step ahead of the law,
360
00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:47,400
former FBI agent
Stewart Fillmore and I
361
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,166
are putting the cars
of the time to the test.
362
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:52,800
He's in the law man standard
Ford Model A,
363
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,767
while I'm in
Bonnie and Clyde's
preferred V-8 from 1934.
364
00:14:57,767 --> 00:14:59,433
Boom! Oh!
365
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:02,767
Oh, she got power!
366
00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:05,867
[Josh exclaims]
367
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:09,567
Come on!
Third gear! Come on!
368
00:15:09,567 --> 00:15:10,767
[whoops]
369
00:15:10,767 --> 00:15:12,367
See you later, Stewart!
370
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:14,834
-Ha-ha!
-Come on. Come on, baby!
371
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:20,367
I'm giving it all she's got.
372
00:15:20,367 --> 00:15:23,667
Oh, it's over! It's over!
Finish line!
373
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:26,000
Come on, baby! Yes!
374
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,033
[laughs]
375
00:15:29,367 --> 00:15:30,967
Ooh!
376
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:36,467
-I'm sorry to see you with
all that dust on your face.
-I know.
377
00:15:36,467 --> 00:15:38,667
The V-8 smokes
the Model-A.
378
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:39,934
It absolutely does.
379
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:43,400
[Josh] Clyde's driving
was legendary.
380
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,667
With gang covering
hundreds of miles at night
381
00:15:45,667 --> 00:15:47,533
out of reach of the law.
382
00:15:48,367 --> 00:15:49,567
Okay so,
383
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:52,300
-cops are driving around
in the Model A there.
-Yep.
384
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:54,567
I could see why Clyde Barrow
wanted to be in this V-8.
385
00:15:54,567 --> 00:15:56,967
Oh, yeah. It's one of
the secrets of their success.
386
00:15:56,967 --> 00:15:57,967
-Big time.
-Yup.
387
00:15:57,967 --> 00:15:59,800
-Back to the starting line?
-Let's go.
388
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,834
All right, I'll be the guy
far ahead of you.
389
00:16:02,467 --> 00:16:04,166
[laughing]
390
00:16:04,166 --> 00:16:07,367
Now that we've learned
how Bonnie and Clyde
could run from the law,
391
00:16:07,367 --> 00:16:10,734
it's time to learn
whether they left
anything behind.
392
00:16:13,367 --> 00:16:15,667
We climb back
in to our modern car
393
00:16:15,667 --> 00:16:17,200
to find the rumored cave
394
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,567
which Stewart think could be
an undiscovered hideout.
395
00:16:23,166 --> 00:16:25,867
Clyde Barrow covered
a lot of miles here in Texas,
396
00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:27,967
but his record
wasn't spotless.
397
00:16:27,967 --> 00:16:30,000
On one occasion he crashed
398
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,567
and Bonnie's leg was so badly
burned by battery acid
399
00:16:33,567 --> 00:16:35,967
that for a time
Clyde had to carry her.
400
00:16:36,567 --> 00:16:38,100
Our own route, takes us
401
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:39,467
to the eastern part
of the state.
402
00:16:39,467 --> 00:16:42,700
And after a few hours
we turn off on to dirt roads,
403
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:44,834
which lead, wherever this is.
404
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,000
[Stewart] This is
all the road we got.
405
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,867
-[Josh] Okay, into the woods.
Here we go,
-In to the woods we go.
406
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:55,066
[Josh] We hike on
to the property
407
00:16:55,066 --> 00:16:58,066
rumored to have
once been a hideout
for Bonnie and Clyde.
408
00:16:58,066 --> 00:16:59,900
As to the cave
that's supposed to be here,
409
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:01,767
well, we haven't seen it.
410
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,400
-[Stewart] It's a very,
very deep drop there.
-Very cliff.
411
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,767
-[Stewart] Watch your
footing here.
-Yeah.
412
00:17:08,767 --> 00:17:11,634
-[Stewart] Okay. Got it?
-Yeah.
413
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,467
-You have water down here?
-Yeah, well, there's a creek.
414
00:17:16,467 --> 00:17:17,900
Looks like
a spring creek actually.
415
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,567
-Nice protected gully
down here.
-Yeah, absolutely.
416
00:17:20,567 --> 00:17:22,800
-What I mean,
what a hideout, huh?
-Totally. Okay.
417
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,934
-Good place
to start searching.
-Let's do it.
418
00:17:27,100 --> 00:17:28,166
[Josh] This creek
would have been
419
00:17:28,166 --> 00:17:30,467
a necessary water source
for the Barrows
420
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:32,166
if they hid in this area.
421
00:17:32,166 --> 00:17:34,867
We start scanning
the creek bed
with metal detectors
422
00:17:34,867 --> 00:17:37,233
in case they left
any artefacts behind.
423
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,634
[detector beeps]
424
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:48,467
I hear metal.
425
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:51,367
Hey, Stewart!
426
00:17:51,367 --> 00:17:52,867
-Yeah, Josh?
-Come here, look at this.
427
00:17:52,867 --> 00:17:54,867
What'd you got?
428
00:17:54,867 --> 00:17:57,467
Thought I had a beer can.
But I don't think so.
429
00:17:57,467 --> 00:17:59,867
-See this?
-Oh, wow, Josh, what is it?
430
00:17:59,867 --> 00:18:02,200
This is old. Look at the...
431
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,600
This is really old.
This is not something
you buy today.
432
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,000
[Stewart]
It's a food can, too.
433
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,667
[Josh] I don't know
let's see what's
written on it.
434
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,367
"Important.
Stir well before using."
435
00:18:14,367 --> 00:18:17,166
So, maybe soup?
Maybe oil, maybe, who knows.
436
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:20,934
[Stewart] Hey, Josh, hold on.
There's a hole right there,
what is that?
437
00:18:21,867 --> 00:18:23,166
-[Josh] Is that
what I think it is?
-Hold on,
438
00:18:23,166 --> 00:18:25,567
-is that a bullet hole?
-Is that a bullet hole?
439
00:18:25,567 --> 00:18:26,600
It sure looks like it.
440
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,867
[Josh] Look,
there's the exit. Wow!
441
00:18:27,867 --> 00:18:30,100
That is a bullet hole.
442
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:32,567
-That is for sure
a bullet hole.
-There's no doubt about it.
443
00:18:32,567 --> 00:18:33,767
-I mean look at that.
-[Josh] Look at that,
444
00:18:33,767 --> 00:18:35,500
-and you can see
the exit at the back.
-Yeah. Exactly.
445
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:36,767
Straight through.
446
00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:39,600
We know that Bonnie and Clyde
practiced shooting.
447
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,066
-[Josh] They did?
-We know,
that's documented. Yes.
448
00:18:42,066 --> 00:18:44,967
-So this could be
a little target practice.
-Absolutely it could be.
449
00:18:46,266 --> 00:18:47,967
[Josh]
It's an intriguing find.
450
00:18:47,967 --> 00:18:52,133
And we waste no time scanning
the rest of the creek bed
for more evidence.
451
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:57,000
-Ha! Stewart!
-[Stewart] Oh, wow!
452
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,600
-Look at this!
-Josh, is that a cave?
453
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,967
-[Josh] We got a cave!
-Whoo!
454
00:19:00,967 --> 00:19:02,567
-[laughs]
-[Josh] Yes!
455
00:19:02,567 --> 00:19:06,367
So, according to
family stories, local legends
456
00:19:06,367 --> 00:19:08,667
Bonnie and Clyde
hid out right there.
457
00:19:08,667 --> 00:19:11,000
[Stewart] The locals call it
the Bonnie and Clyde cave.
458
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,033
Okay, let's get the lights.
Come on.
459
00:19:14,467 --> 00:19:16,266
Okay. After you.
460
00:19:19,166 --> 00:19:21,266
-[Stewart] Oh, wow.
-Oh, my word!
461
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,367
Ah, it's huge!
462
00:19:24,367 --> 00:19:26,300
[Stewart] Josh,
this is a huge chamber.
463
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:28,500
What do you think,
it's 70, 80 feet up there?
464
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:30,266
[Josh] I mean, it's gigantic.
465
00:19:30,266 --> 00:19:32,567
-[rustling]
-What's that noise?
466
00:19:32,567 --> 00:19:34,200
Josh, I think those are bats.
467
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,333
-[Josh] Those are
definitely bats,
-Yep.
468
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,600
Okay. Well, we got some
469
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,867
-circumstantial evidence
outside...
-Absolutely.
470
00:19:40,867 --> 00:19:42,000
Little metal detecting
in here
471
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,300
-to see what it looks like?
-Yep, let's do it.
472
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:45,000
Let's search the place.
See if they have left
anything behind.
473
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,467
-[Stewart] Okay.
-Come on.
474
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:53,333
Stewart and I branch out
to explore the cave
for signs of habitation.
475
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:06,000
Stewart, I got an old
burned piece of wood here.
476
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,667
So, somebody
was having a fire here.
477
00:20:07,667 --> 00:20:09,567
Somebody was cooking
in here, probably.
478
00:20:09,567 --> 00:20:11,767
-Josh, does it look old?
-Very old.
479
00:20:11,767 --> 00:20:13,767
It's really brittle,
dried out.
480
00:20:13,767 --> 00:20:16,266
-And just burned to a crisp.
-Wow, okay.
481
00:20:16,266 --> 00:20:17,834
That's exactly
what we are looking for.
482
00:20:22,667 --> 00:20:23,934
What's that?
483
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,767
[Stewart] Got something?
484
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:28,100
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
It might be junk.
485
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:29,767
-What is that?
-What is that?
486
00:20:29,767 --> 00:20:31,667
[Josh] I don't know.
Is that wood?
487
00:20:31,667 --> 00:20:32,867
[Stewart] It sure
looks like wood.
488
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:34,567
I don't know. It's very light.
489
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,266
[Josh] I don't think
it is wood.
490
00:20:36,266 --> 00:20:38,467
At first I thought it was,
I thought it was burned.
491
00:20:38,467 --> 00:20:41,166
But the texture is wrong.
It's like rubber.
492
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:42,667
[Stewart] Ah, okay.
493
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:43,767
-You see that?
-[Stewart] Yeah.
494
00:20:43,767 --> 00:20:45,367
-[Josh] Looks like, uh...
-Yeah.
495
00:20:45,367 --> 00:20:48,200
-It's a really
brittle... Yeah.
-[Stewart] Like rubber, yeah.
496
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,000
-[Josh] Oh, there's a writing.
-There's a writing on it, too.
497
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,567
"BG...
498
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:54,333
BA..."
499
00:20:56,066 --> 00:20:57,467
[Stewart] "BFG"?
500
00:20:57,467 --> 00:20:59,200
"BFGoodrich." I can see it.
501
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,166
-"Goodrich."
-Yep.
502
00:21:00,166 --> 00:21:01,367
-[Josh] "BFGoodrich."
-Yep.
503
00:21:01,367 --> 00:21:03,133
-[Josh] This is from a tire.
-This is from a tire.
504
00:21:04,367 --> 00:21:05,800
[Josh] This now vintage logo
505
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,967
was common
in Bonnie and Clyde's day.
506
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:11,000
That's because Henry Ford
selected BFGoodrich
507
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,900
to supply tires
for many of his vehicles.
508
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:15,667
We are talking about
a gang here,
509
00:21:15,667 --> 00:21:17,367
synonymous with getaway cars.
510
00:21:17,367 --> 00:21:19,667
-I mean this would make
Clyde Barrow famous.
-Right.
511
00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:20,967
-Yeah.
-And here we have
512
00:21:20,967 --> 00:21:23,600
-a piece of a classic
American tire.
-Right.
513
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,634
-In a cave associated
with Bonnie and Clyde.
-Crazy.
514
00:21:27,567 --> 00:21:29,400
[Josh] We searched
the rest of the cave
515
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,700
but the tire
is all that's in here.
516
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:33,266
Or so, we think.
517
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:36,700
Oh, my, gosh, Josh!
518
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:39,266
-What did you find?
-Come here. Check this out.
519
00:21:39,266 --> 00:21:42,033
-What?
-Do you see what I see?
Right there.
520
00:21:42,767 --> 00:21:45,834
-"CB"
-Holy [bleep]!
Is that possible?
521
00:21:53,033 --> 00:21:54,667
-[Josh] "CB"
-"CB."
522
00:21:54,667 --> 00:21:56,567
-Clyde Barrow?
-Clyde Barrow.
523
00:21:56,567 --> 00:21:57,834
[Josh] In a lonely cave,
524
00:21:57,834 --> 00:22:00,133
hidden in the wilds
of Eastern Texas,
525
00:22:00,133 --> 00:22:03,367
retired FBI agent
Stewart Fillmore and I
526
00:22:03,367 --> 00:22:05,300
have just found
a stunning clue
527
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:07,467
in the hunt for
a Bonnie and Clyde hideout.
528
00:22:07,467 --> 00:22:10,467
"CB."
Maybe Clyde Barrow, okay.
529
00:22:10,467 --> 00:22:13,300
But it's also known
back in the '30s,
530
00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:15,834
they weren't often
referred to Bonnie and Clyde,
531
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:17,767
they were sometimes
referred to as the Barrow Gang
532
00:22:17,767 --> 00:22:20,000
or Clyde and Bonnie.
533
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
[Josh] I mean could that
really be their initials?
534
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,834
It's definitely old.
I mean, you could see
535
00:22:24,834 --> 00:22:26,300
-how weathered
this rock is. Right?
-Yes.
536
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:28,934
-And you can see
how weathered the letters are.
-Yep.
537
00:22:28,934 --> 00:22:32,567
Is there any way
that we can actually
demonstrate it is theirs?
538
00:22:32,567 --> 00:22:34,266
You could do
handwriting analysis.
539
00:22:34,266 --> 00:22:36,600
I mean, you know, we need
some good pictures of this.
540
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,300
This is carved into rock,
which is a different process,
541
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,834
-obviously to writing, but...
-You never know.
542
00:22:41,834 --> 00:22:42,867
[Stewart] ...it's worth a try.
543
00:22:42,867 --> 00:22:44,233
All right, let me
get the camera.
544
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:47,467
[Josh] This area,
with evidence of gunplay,
545
00:22:47,467 --> 00:22:49,600
remains of a period car tire
546
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,000
and now telltale initials
547
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
is a promising new pushpin
548
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,033
for Stewart's
Bonnie and Clyde map.
549
00:22:56,033 --> 00:22:57,867
And knowing Stewart as I do,
550
00:22:57,867 --> 00:23:01,767
I have no doubt
that he will be as dogged
as the Feds were in their day
551
00:23:01,767 --> 00:23:04,133
to find more
of Bonnie and Clyde story.
552
00:23:04,133 --> 00:23:05,166
Are you sure
we should get out of here
553
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:06,300
before the sun goes
fully down?
554
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:08,300
I think so, unless you want
to be a meal for the bats.
555
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,934
We're leaving, come on.
556
00:23:11,667 --> 00:23:13,367
[Josh] Stewart though
isn't the only one
557
00:23:13,367 --> 00:23:15,500
who's been scouring
the historical record
558
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:17,433
for signs of Bonnie and Clyde.
559
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,767
An eminent metal detectorist
560
00:23:19,767 --> 00:23:22,567
has rediscovered
a forgotten tip.
561
00:23:22,567 --> 00:23:27,533
A clue to the whereabouts
of a possible stash
of buried Barrow Gang loot.
562
00:23:34,266 --> 00:23:35,934
So, I bid farewell to Stewart
563
00:23:35,934 --> 00:23:38,367
and pick up
a new set of wheels,
564
00:23:38,367 --> 00:23:40,567
making sure it's got a V-8.
565
00:23:40,567 --> 00:23:42,667
I'm also meeting
my new partner
566
00:23:42,667 --> 00:23:43,900
if I can find her.
567
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:48,000
Says, meet her at 11311?
568
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,233
I'm like a strip-mall here.
569
00:23:52,133 --> 00:23:53,533
Where's this place?
570
00:23:56,567 --> 00:23:58,100
And I think I found it.
571
00:23:58,100 --> 00:23:59,800
Okay, where is she?
572
00:24:00,266 --> 00:24:01,667
[upbeat music playing]
573
00:24:04,767 --> 00:24:06,000
I'm guessing that's her.
574
00:24:09,367 --> 00:24:11,000
Need a lift?
575
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,166
-Are you going north?
-I am now.
576
00:24:13,166 --> 00:24:15,467
-All right, let's go.
-Come on in.
577
00:24:15,467 --> 00:24:17,000
I'm guessing you're Nikoline.
578
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,367
-I am.
-I'm Josh.
579
00:24:18,367 --> 00:24:19,867
-Nice to meet you.
-Great to meet you.
580
00:24:19,867 --> 00:24:20,967
You ready?
581
00:24:20,967 --> 00:24:22,600
-Let's go.
-Let's roll.

585
00:24:28,767 --> 00:24:30,133
Originally from Denmark,
586
00:24:30,133 --> 00:24:33,734
she's now set her sights
on a uniquely American story,
587
00:24:33,734 --> 00:24:34,900
Bonnie and Clyde.
588
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,767
Okay, so where are we going?
589
00:24:39,767 --> 00:24:40,867
Iowa.
590
00:24:40,867 --> 00:24:42,767
-Iowa?
-Mm-hmm.
591
00:24:42,767 --> 00:24:45,133
Okay, isn't that like,
500 miles from here?
592
00:24:45,133 --> 00:24:46,400
Yeah, more like 700.
593
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,867
Okay, well,
we're gonna need gas.
594
00:24:47,867 --> 00:24:49,166
Why are we going to Iowa?
595
00:24:49,166 --> 00:24:53,100
-Well, there this place called
Dexfield Park in Iowa...
-Okay.
596
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:54,834
...where there was
a huge shoot out
597
00:24:54,834 --> 00:24:56,033
between Bonnie and Clyde,
598
00:24:56,033 --> 00:24:58,467
their gang
and local law enforcement.
599
00:24:58,467 --> 00:24:59,433
Okay.
600
00:25:00,266 --> 00:25:03,133
[Josh] On July 24th, 1933,
601
00:25:03,133 --> 00:25:06,166
the Barrow Gang goes up
against an Iowa posse
602
00:25:06,166 --> 00:25:08,467
and while Bonnie and Clyde
managed to get away,
603
00:25:08,467 --> 00:25:11,300
Clyde's brother Buck
and his wife Blanche Barrow
604
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:13,300
are captured by police.
605
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:15,567
By researching documents
about the shootout,
606
00:25:15,567 --> 00:25:18,066
Nikoline has determined
that Bonnie and Clyde
607
00:25:18,066 --> 00:25:20,734
left behind more than
just their relatives.
608
00:25:21,567 --> 00:25:23,266
So, after
Blanche was arrested,
609
00:25:23,266 --> 00:25:25,266
she told the cops
they had buried a loot
610
00:25:25,266 --> 00:25:27,066
from a bank robbery
in the woods.
611
00:25:27,066 --> 00:25:28,667
So, maybe
it's still in the ground.
612
00:25:28,667 --> 00:25:32,066
-Okay, so it's Iowa.
-It's Iowa.
613
00:25:32,066 --> 00:25:34,433
Okay, here we go.

[classical music playing]
615
00:25:37,934 --> 00:25:39,467
[Josh] To get to Iowa
we'll be following
616
00:25:39,467 --> 00:25:41,300
the same route
as Bonnie and Clyde
617
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:43,367
on a 700-mile road trip
618
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:44,867
through the American
heartland,
619
00:25:44,867 --> 00:25:47,033
and towns large and small,
620
00:25:47,033 --> 00:25:49,934
occasionally both
at the same time.
621
00:25:49,934 --> 00:25:52,567
-There it is,
the Eiffel Tower.
-Oh, wow.

00:25:52,567 --> 00:25:55,200
Wait, why is it wearing
a cowboy hat?
623
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,567
It's Texas, it's required.
624
00:25:56,567 --> 00:25:58,133
Oh.
625
00:25:58,133 --> 00:26:00,600
Like the one in France
used to have...on it.

-I'm sure it did.

in front of you,

00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:10,467
it's important
to keep yourself fueled
as well as your car.
629
00:26:11,166 --> 00:26:13,000
-Ooh! Hey!
-What've we got?
630
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,467
A PLT for me
and fried bologna for you.

Fried bologna?
632
00:26:17,567 --> 00:26:19,133
Yeah, Bonnie
and Clyde's favorites.
633
00:26:19,133 --> 00:26:21,467
Yeah, the 1930s.

before they were killed.

That's a...
that's a good omen then.

Route 66 was the way
to get between
Chicago and Los Angeles.

into our trip to Iowa,

90 or so years
after Bonnie and Clyde.
662
00:27:40,266 --> 00:27:43,100
When they come through here
in early 1933,
663
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:44,934
they've got
the law on their tail

and murders in Texas.

The gang lays low
at an apartment here,

but on April 13th,
they're reported
for a noise disturbance,

00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:24,634
It's here the gang
nearly meets their demise.
676
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Thirteen armed law men
677
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,867
surround a cabin
they're renting.
678
00:28:28,867 --> 00:28:31,133
Blanche Barrow
is blinded in one eye,
679
00:28:31,133 --> 00:28:33,400
and her husband, Buck,
is shot in the head,
680
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,533
but makes it
into the getaway car.
681
00:28:36,467 --> 00:28:37,500
Buck lives?
682
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:40,000
-Yeah, surprisingly
they all do.
-Wow.
683
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,667
And the press love it.
684
00:28:41,667 --> 00:28:44,100
They keep talking about
Clyde's heroics.
685
00:28:44,100 --> 00:28:46,967
-How he saved
Bonnie once again.
-Right.
686
00:28:46,967 --> 00:28:49,500
But in reality
they are in terrible shape.
687
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:51,467
And why did they go to Iowa?
688
00:28:51,467 --> 00:28:53,300
They couldn't go back
to Kansas City.
689
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:56,734
So, they fled north
and they ended up in Iowa.
690
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:01,367
[Josh] After a dozen hours
behind the wheel,
691
00:29:01,367 --> 00:29:04,367
we roll into
the city of Dexter, Iowa,
692
00:29:04,367 --> 00:29:06,533
population 643.
693
00:29:07,767 --> 00:29:09,500
This is where
Nikoline believes
694
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:13,300
Bonnie and Clyde
may have buried
a cache of stolen loot.
695
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,033
Loot with historical value
696
00:29:15,033 --> 00:29:17,967
that could be
in the millions today.
697
00:29:17,967 --> 00:29:19,734
-Take a right off here.
-Okay.
698
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:27,166
Pull over, right up here.
699
00:29:27,166 --> 00:29:29,500
-Where here?
-Yeah, yeah,
pull over right here.
700
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:31,467
Okay.
701
00:29:31,467 --> 00:29:33,634
-[Nikoline] We're here.
-We're here?
702
00:29:35,734 --> 00:29:37,367
-This is it?
-[laughs] This is, uh...
703
00:29:37,367 --> 00:29:39,367
This is as close
as we can get
a car to the site.
704
00:29:39,367 --> 00:29:41,467
-We're on foot from here?
-Not exactly.
705
00:29:45,166 --> 00:29:46,266
[exclaims]
706
00:29:47,567 --> 00:29:50,166
It's not quite Clyde's V-8
but I'll take it!
707
00:29:50,166 --> 00:29:52,533
-I think it's great!
-Ah-ha!
708
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,934
[upbeat music playing]
709
00:29:59,133 --> 00:30:01,500
Ha-ha! Whoo!
710
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:04,567
-This way?
-Yeah, just keep
going straight.
711
00:30:04,567 --> 00:30:06,567
[Josh] In July of 1933,
712
00:30:06,567 --> 00:30:09,567
Bonnie and Clyde,
along with the rest
of the Barrow Gang,
713
00:30:09,567 --> 00:30:12,567
flee to this area
and hastily set up a camp
714
00:30:12,567 --> 00:30:14,500
to avoid capture.
715
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:18,266
So at this point
we are talking about
Bonnie and Clyde,
716
00:30:18,266 --> 00:30:21,967
-W.D., Buck and Blanche.
-Yeah.
717
00:30:21,967 --> 00:30:24,166
And paint me a picture
what kind of shape they are.
718
00:30:24,166 --> 00:30:25,734
They are in a horrible shape.
719
00:30:27,834 --> 00:30:29,567
[Josh] Bonnie's leg
is still suffering
720
00:30:29,567 --> 00:30:31,367
the effects of a car crash.
721
00:30:31,367 --> 00:30:33,233
Blanche is blind in one eye,
722
00:30:33,233 --> 00:30:34,600
and then there's Buck,
723
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,300
whose head is still wide open
from a gunshot wound
724
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:39,600
he received in Platte City.
725
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,233
And Buck
is still alive somehow.
726
00:30:42,233 --> 00:30:46,300
Uh, they poured
hydrogen peroxide
on his open brain wound.
727
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:48,800
-[Josh] So, they're messed up.
-Totally.
728
00:30:50,767 --> 00:30:53,767
[Josh] A local
tips off the cops
to the gang's presence,
729
00:30:53,767 --> 00:30:57,467
and in the early morning
of July 24th, 1933,
730
00:30:57,467 --> 00:31:00,133
a large local posse
forms quickly
731
00:31:00,133 --> 00:31:01,934
and descends on the site.
732
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:04,734
Then all hell breaks loose.
733
00:31:10,166 --> 00:31:11,367
When the dust settles,
734
00:31:11,367 --> 00:31:14,600
Clyde has been shot,
so is Bonnie.
735
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,667
Buck has caught
yet another bullet.
736
00:31:16,667 --> 00:31:20,300
And gang member
W.D. Jones is hit as well.
737
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:22,867
Somehow, Bonnie and Clyde
along with W.D.,
738
00:31:22,867 --> 00:31:25,500
manage to steal a car
from a nearby barn
739
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:26,734
and escape.
740
00:31:28,266 --> 00:31:30,233
Blanche and Buck
aren't as lucky.
741
00:31:30,233 --> 00:31:33,934
They're caught
and Buck finally dies
shortly thereafter.
742
00:31:35,734 --> 00:31:37,166
[Nikoline] All right,
pull up right here.
743
00:31:37,166 --> 00:31:38,467
By this tree.
744
00:31:38,467 --> 00:31:40,133
-In here?
-Yeah.
745
00:31:43,867 --> 00:31:44,867
[Nikoline] We made it.
746
00:31:44,867 --> 00:31:46,100
-This is it?
-Yeah.
747
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,934
All right. So, the shootout
happened here?
748
00:31:48,934 --> 00:31:50,967
-Around here somewhere.
-Around here? Okay.
749
00:31:50,967 --> 00:31:52,367
All right.
Should we start searching?
750
00:31:52,367 --> 00:31:53,834
-Let's go.
-Come on.
751
00:31:55,066 --> 00:31:57,066
[Josh] We grab
our metal detectors to explore
752
00:31:57,066 --> 00:32:00,667
where Barrow Gang and cops
went to war.
753
00:32:00,667 --> 00:32:02,634
[upbeat music playing]
754
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:22,667
[beeping]
755
00:32:22,667 --> 00:32:24,433
[beeping continues]
756
00:32:28,834 --> 00:32:30,233
Okay.
757
00:32:32,233 --> 00:32:33,400
-[taps]
-Oh!
758
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,834
-[tapping continues]
-Somethin' there.
759
00:32:35,834 --> 00:32:37,400
-Nikoline!
-Yeah?
760
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,600
-Come here.
-What did you find?
761
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,734
-Bonnie and Clyde's treasure.
-Really?
762
00:32:42,367 --> 00:32:44,467
It feels like a--
Here listen.
763
00:32:44,467 --> 00:32:46,667
-[taps]
-[Nikoline] Sounds flat.
764
00:32:46,667 --> 00:32:48,333
I think it is.
I think it's like a flat...
765
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,266
plate or something?
766
00:32:50,266 --> 00:32:51,600
[Nikoline] That
sounds like iron.
767
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,000
Yeah, like an iron lock box
full of treasure.
768
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,433
[Nikoline] You want
a bigger shovel?
769
00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:59,734
Listen, don't--
Don't go shaming me.
770
00:32:59,734 --> 00:33:01,467
-This is a perfectly
good shovel.
-Yeah.
771
00:33:01,467 --> 00:33:03,734
-Yours is bigger and--
-Give it a shot.
772
00:33:06,734 --> 00:33:08,800
-That's a better shovel
than mine.
-Hmm-hmm.
773
00:33:10,667 --> 00:33:11,834
Oh, here it is!
774
00:33:12,767 --> 00:33:13,900
It's right there.
775
00:33:14,667 --> 00:33:16,033
[Nikoline] It is flat.
776
00:33:16,033 --> 00:33:17,467
Would you look at that?
777
00:33:18,367 --> 00:33:20,667
[Josh] Okay.
This is definitely iron.
778
00:33:20,667 --> 00:33:23,266
It could piece of
farm equipment, who knows.
779
00:33:23,266 --> 00:33:25,734
But I don't think
we can connect this
to Bonnie and Clyde.
780
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:28,333
-Here we go.
-All right.
781
00:33:28,767 --> 00:33:30,800
[music playing]
782
00:33:38,367 --> 00:33:40,667
[Josh] It's an enormous
area to cover,
783
00:33:40,667 --> 00:33:43,233
and after hours
of crisscrossing the field
784
00:33:43,233 --> 00:33:45,500
it finally pays dividends.
785
00:33:45,500 --> 00:33:47,367
[beeping]
786
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,166
I got a weird hit here.
787
00:33:51,166 --> 00:33:52,467
What is it?
788
00:33:52,467 --> 00:33:54,166
I don't know.
It's kinda jumpy.
789
00:33:54,166 --> 00:33:55,233
I'll check it out.
790
00:34:06,233 --> 00:34:08,333
I got a weird cap
down here.
791
00:34:09,934 --> 00:34:11,166
I don't know, first I thought
792
00:34:11,166 --> 00:34:12,266
it was like,
from a beer bottle
793
00:34:12,266 --> 00:34:14,133
-but I don't think so.
-[Nikoline] I'll come look.
794
00:34:15,367 --> 00:34:16,834
[Josh] Oh, that's glass.
795
00:34:19,367 --> 00:34:21,800
Some glass.
Hey, check this out!
796
00:34:23,266 --> 00:34:24,400
[Nikoline] What'd you have?
797
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,767
Super old glass...
Come here, look at this.
798
00:34:25,767 --> 00:34:27,600
-Ah, awesome,
isn't it intact?
-Yeah.
799
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,300
I mean, what's really
maddening is, look,
there's little bits of paper
800
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:31,367
still adhered
to this but it's all--
801
00:34:31,367 --> 00:34:32,834
I think it's got
writing on it.
802
00:34:32,834 --> 00:34:34,300
-[Josh] It's just
all destroyed.
-Yeah.
803
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:35,367
[Josh] And then there's cap.
804
00:34:35,367 --> 00:34:38,133
[Nikoline] This is like...
early 1900's, right?
805
00:34:38,133 --> 00:34:39,266
-[Josh] Totally.
-Yeah.
806
00:34:39,266 --> 00:34:41,100
[Josh] But it's not a beer.
Look at that.
807
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:42,500
Definitely more
of a pharmaceutical?
808
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:43,767
-You think so?
It's a medicine bottle?
-Yeah.
809
00:34:43,767 --> 00:34:45,133
I... I'd say so.
810
00:34:45,133 --> 00:34:46,300
[Josh] I mean
this is old glass.
811
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:48,834
Do you think
that's one of their
medicine bottles?
812
00:34:48,834 --> 00:34:50,400
Could that have had
hydrogen peroxide in it?
813
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,033
-[Josh] That would be amazing.
-That would be really cool.
814
00:34:53,033 --> 00:34:54,533
[Josh] Let me
do a search here.
815
00:34:56,767 --> 00:34:59,667
-So, it's a company
called Parke-Davis...
-Hmm.
816
00:34:59,667 --> 00:35:01,467
And it is...
817
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:03,867
pharmaceutical company.
818
00:35:03,867 --> 00:35:05,667
So, it's medicine probably,
of some kind.
819
00:35:05,667 --> 00:35:08,467
Mid-19th through
the 20th century.
820
00:35:08,467 --> 00:35:10,367
-Old medicine bottle for sure.
-Awesome.
821
00:35:10,367 --> 00:35:12,667
It would be really cool
if it's hydrogen peroxide.
822
00:35:12,667 --> 00:35:14,133
-[Josh] Right.
-Yeah.
823
00:35:14,133 --> 00:35:16,867
[Josh] Parke-Davis
was America's
oldest drug maker.
824
00:35:16,867 --> 00:35:19,367
Manufacturing bottles
of various medicines
825
00:35:19,367 --> 00:35:22,600
during the exact time period
the gang was here,
826
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,734
including a match
for this particular bottle
that held, you guessed it,
827
00:35:26,734 --> 00:35:28,367
hydrogen peroxide.
828
00:35:28,367 --> 00:35:30,367
What if this was
from the Barrow Gang's stash?
829
00:35:30,367 --> 00:35:31,767
Wouldn't that be so fun.
830
00:35:31,767 --> 00:35:34,834
Imagine if that was poured
on Buck's head?
831
00:35:35,667 --> 00:35:36,800
That's amazing.
832
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:39,867
[Josh] With
remarkable evidence
833
00:35:39,867 --> 00:35:42,166
from the time of
Bonnie and Clyde in hand
834
00:35:42,166 --> 00:35:44,467
we return to our search
with a vengeance.
835
00:35:46,367 --> 00:35:48,467
-[beeping]
-Oh, I got a hit.
836
00:35:48,467 --> 00:35:50,500
-Yeah, I got one, too.
-You do?
837
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:52,834
Yeah, and it's really
nice sounding.
838
00:35:52,834 --> 00:35:55,033
All right, two more hits.
You ready?
839
00:35:55,033 --> 00:35:56,500
-Yeah, let's see what it is.
-Let's see what it is.
840
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:59,166
[beeping continues]
841
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,333
[music playing]
842
00:36:06,333 --> 00:36:08,467
Passing the town
of Van Meter, Iowa.
843
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:10,467
Did you know
that town has a monster in it?
844
00:36:10,467 --> 00:36:14,333
1903, terrified residents,
Van Meter, Iowa.
845
00:36:14,333 --> 00:36:17,767
Reported encountering
a giant bat-like creature.
846
00:36:17,767 --> 00:36:20,033
-Really?
-It's all true. Had a horn.
847
00:36:20,033 --> 00:36:21,767
And a shot light
out if it's forehead.
848
00:36:21,767 --> 00:36:22,867
Wow.
849
00:36:22,867 --> 00:36:24,266
[phone ringing]
850
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:26,166
Hold on, I got somebody
on the phone for you.
851
00:36:26,166 --> 00:36:27,166
[woman on phone] Hello.
852
00:36:27,166 --> 00:36:29,166
Jess Chobot,
how are you?
853
00:36:29,967 --> 00:36:31,333
Good. How are you?
854
00:36:31,333 --> 00:36:35,400
I'm in the car,
and I just drove past the exit
for Van Meter, Iowa.
855
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,500
I was telling
my friend, Nikoline, here
856
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:39,767
there's a monster in that town
and she didn't believe me.
857
00:36:39,767 --> 00:36:41,233
There is, right?
858
00:36:41,233 --> 00:36:43,567
Yes, there's a monster
in that town.
859
00:36:43,567 --> 00:36:44,834
What do you think it was?
860
00:36:44,834 --> 00:36:46,934
I thought it might
have been some sort of a
861
00:36:46,934 --> 00:36:48,166
escaped zoo monster.
862
00:36:48,166 --> 00:36:49,667
-[gasps]
-By zoo monster
863
00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:51,266
you just mean animal, right?
864
00:36:51,266 --> 00:36:53,233
Yeah, exactly, an animal.
865
00:36:53,233 --> 00:36:55,400
Jess, as always,
thank you very much.
866
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,767
Have fun. Bye.
867
00:36:57,767 --> 00:37:00,500
Told you, escaped laser bear.
868
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:02,333
-Really?
-With wings.
869
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:07,467
[upbeat music playing]
870
00:37:07,467 --> 00:37:08,767
[Josh] Something right here.
871
00:37:08,767 --> 00:37:10,300
-[Nikoline] What is it?
-I don't know.
872
00:37:13,467 --> 00:37:14,433
What have you got?
873
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:18,433
-Shotgun shell.
-Nice!
874
00:37:18,433 --> 00:37:19,533
What kind?
875
00:37:20,066 --> 00:37:21,500
I don't know. Let's see.
876
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:24,100
So this is a "U.M.C. Co."
877
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,667
-"New--"
-Is it a New Club?
878
00:37:26,667 --> 00:37:28,066
"New Club," that's right.
879
00:37:28,066 --> 00:37:30,000
"U.M.C. Co. New Club"
880
00:37:30,867 --> 00:37:32,433
Ten. It's a ten gauge.
881
00:37:33,266 --> 00:37:35,266
[Josh] The Union
Metallic Cartridge Company
882
00:37:35,266 --> 00:37:38,266
manufactured these New Club
ten gauge shells
883
00:37:38,266 --> 00:37:41,634
in the 1890s
and very early 1900s.
884
00:37:42,367 --> 00:37:43,667
Clyde had a ten gauge, right?
885
00:37:43,667 --> 00:37:47,100
He did. He had 1901
sort of Winchester.
886
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,367
I mean, that's...
That's crazy.
887
00:37:49,367 --> 00:37:50,834
What do you have?
888
00:37:50,834 --> 00:37:52,467
I'm not sure yet. Hold on.
889
00:37:52,467 --> 00:37:53,900
What'd you think?
890
00:37:55,166 --> 00:37:56,867
-[Josh] Lead?
-It is?
891
00:37:56,867 --> 00:37:59,834
-Is this a slug?
-I think so.
892
00:37:59,834 --> 00:38:01,734
-[Josh] This is a slug
from a shotgun.
-Mm-hmm.
893
00:38:01,734 --> 00:38:04,367
-This is like old...
-Lead.
894
00:38:04,367 --> 00:38:05,734
Lead one ounce slug.
895
00:38:05,734 --> 00:38:07,367
So we got a shot gun shell
over that way
896
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:09,033
-that we know is period.
-Hm-mmm.
897
00:38:09,033 --> 00:38:10,266
And now we've got a slug.
898
00:38:10,266 --> 00:38:12,567
Now, we know
that the cops, the posse,
899
00:38:12,567 --> 00:38:14,433
-they were coming
from the high ground here.
-Yeah.
900
00:38:14,433 --> 00:38:16,133
And they were shooting down
at the gang
901
00:38:16,133 --> 00:38:17,767
-that were camped
down here, right?
-Correct.
902
00:38:17,767 --> 00:38:20,567
So, it maybe that the reason
we are seeing shells up here
903
00:38:20,567 --> 00:38:22,834
is that they're firing down
this hill.
904
00:38:22,834 --> 00:38:24,667
And maybe the slugs
are return fire.
905
00:38:24,667 --> 00:38:26,033
It's quite possible.
906
00:38:26,033 --> 00:38:28,934
And we could be
looking at both sides
of the shootout right now.
907
00:38:28,934 --> 00:38:30,266
That's incredible.
908
00:38:30,266 --> 00:38:31,467
[Nikoline] Absolutely.
909
00:38:31,467 --> 00:38:34,567
If this is from that event
it's historically significant,
910
00:38:34,567 --> 00:38:36,867
and probably valuable as well.
911
00:38:36,867 --> 00:38:38,333
You know, I mean,
an actual bullet
912
00:38:38,333 --> 00:38:40,500
from Bonnie
and Clyde's shootout,
imagine that?
913
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:42,133
I mean, not many people
have the pleasure of
914
00:38:42,133 --> 00:38:44,033
-getting to find
something like that.
-Crazy.
915
00:38:44,033 --> 00:38:45,467
So there's a great chance
916
00:38:45,467 --> 00:38:48,000
this was either
fired by or fired at,
917
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,600
-Bonnie and Clyde.
-Absolutely.
918
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,100
That is so cool.
919
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:53,133
-Hey, nice work.
-Yeah.
920
00:38:53,133 --> 00:38:54,266
[Josh] Awesome job.
921
00:38:54,266 --> 00:38:57,133
Look at you. Lethal weapon.
922
00:38:57,133 --> 00:38:59,367
-Let's see what else there is.
-Let's see what else there is.
923
00:38:59,367 --> 00:39:01,000
[upbeat music playing]
924
00:39:02,033 --> 00:39:04,500
[Josh] We scan the field
until the sun begins to set,
925
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:07,367
overjoyed to have located
probable remnants
926
00:39:07,367 --> 00:39:10,800
of that fateful day
when Bonnie and Clyde
came to Iowa.
927
00:39:12,233 --> 00:39:14,133
Turning to
Stewart's investigation,
928
00:39:14,133 --> 00:39:16,767
handwriting analysis
of the initials on the wall
929
00:39:16,767 --> 00:39:18,934
do show similarities
to the way
930
00:39:18,934 --> 00:39:20,333
Clyde penned his name.
931
00:39:20,333 --> 00:39:22,867
Especially the hook
on letter C.
932
00:39:22,867 --> 00:39:25,767
This, combined with
the Depression era car tire,
933
00:39:25,767 --> 00:39:29,934
are indicators
that this may well
be a lost Barrow Gang hideout.
934
00:39:29,934 --> 00:39:32,033
As to Bonnie
and Clyde themselves,
935
00:39:32,033 --> 00:39:34,367
about ten months
after the shootout in Iowa,
936
00:39:34,367 --> 00:39:36,166
they reached
the end of the road.
937
00:39:38,667 --> 00:39:41,867
On the morning
of May 23rd, 1934,
938
00:39:41,867 --> 00:39:44,233
legendary Texas ranger,
Frank Hamer,
939
00:39:44,233 --> 00:39:46,266
has assembled a posse
in the woods,
940
00:39:46,266 --> 00:39:49,967
alongside
the Louisiana Highway 154.
941
00:39:49,967 --> 00:39:52,233
Bonnie and Clyde
never see them coming.
942
00:39:52,834 --> 00:39:54,500
[gunshots]
943
00:39:56,133 --> 00:39:58,767
A 120 rounds hit the car.
944
00:39:58,767 --> 00:40:02,033
They don't get
a single shot off in return.
945
00:40:03,867 --> 00:40:05,367
It was the end of a love story
946
00:40:05,367 --> 00:40:08,900
that began only four years
before in West Dallas.
947
00:40:10,967 --> 00:40:14,567
The tale of Bonnie and Clyde
can be framed as a romance.
948
00:40:14,567 --> 00:40:16,266
But we should
have no illusions
949
00:40:16,266 --> 00:40:18,033
about who they really were.
950
00:40:18,033 --> 00:40:21,166
After all Bonnie and Clyde
didn't have any.
951
00:40:21,166 --> 00:40:24,066
They sowed violence
and reaped the whirlwind.
952
00:40:24,066 --> 00:40:26,266
And it was all
according to plan.
953
00:40:26,266 --> 00:40:28,834
To quote Bonnie's poem,
"The Trails End."
954
00:40:29,567 --> 00:40:30,734
[reading]
955
00:40:57,934 --> 00:40:59,433
In a cruel, or perhaps
956
00:40:59,433 --> 00:41:01,066
fitting twist of fate,
957
00:41:01,066 --> 00:41:02,767
they weren't buried
together after all.
958
00:41:02,767 --> 00:41:04,667
Bonnie's mother saw to that.
959
00:41:04,667 --> 00:41:06,000
And for all the guns
960
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,567
and the bloodshed
and the mayhem,
961
00:41:07,567 --> 00:41:09,233
Clyde ended up right here,
962
00:41:09,233 --> 00:41:11,467
in an overgrown cemetery
in West Dallas
963
00:41:11,467 --> 00:41:13,133
right back
in the gritty neighborhood
964
00:41:13,133 --> 00:41:14,266
that he and Bonnie fought
965
00:41:14,266 --> 00:41:16,467
so desperately to escape.
966
00:41:16,467 --> 00:41:18,834
Just two kids from
the wrong side of the bridge,
967
00:41:18,834 --> 00:41:21,367
dead at 25 and 23,
968
00:41:21,367 --> 00:41:23,266
but also immortal.
