1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,220
[Kayla Johanson]
I am tired of your
[bleep] attitude.
2
00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:14,530
[Scott Allen]
Can't believe I worked
that hard and she's like that.
3
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:16,480
I put my heart
and soul into this.
That's all there is to it.
4
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:21,670
We are all away from
the things that we love
5
00:00:21,870 --> 00:00:23,260
and the people that
we love to be here.
6
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:25,600
He is not the only one
making a sacrifice.
7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,270
He pulled [bleep]
like this last year, and...
8
00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:33,200
...I could've easily
just let Dustin fire him.
9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,770
And he seems to [bleep] forget
10
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:39,980
that he didn't have a job.
11
00:00:40,180 --> 00:00:43,620
How this is gonna end,
I can't really answer that
at the moment.
12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,430
I can't take it anymore.
13
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:51,460
[narrator] After battling
their new claim for the last
three months,
14
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:54,360
the crew has
precious little gold,
15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,290
pushing the miners
to their breaking point.
16
00:00:58,490 --> 00:01:01,370
[Scott]
I[bleep] worked my[bleep]
into the dirt for her.
17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,640
- [Scott] She fired me.
- [man] She said that?
18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,770
[man]
You'll be all right, bro.
19
00:01:07,970 --> 00:01:09,370
You gotta be the bigger man
on this one.
20
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:13,840
[Scott] Nice talk.
I'm outta here.
21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,680
[Carlos Minor]
That's the temper talk, amigo.
That's the temper talk.
22
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:19,770
At the end of the season,
we hate each other,
23
00:01:19,970 --> 00:01:22,410
there's no gold
to bring us together.
24
00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:27,100
[Scott] This is what
separates the men from
the boys right here.
25
00:01:32,930 --> 00:01:35,670
[Scott] There's a lot
of organic coming out.
26
00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:38,020
[Dustin Hurt] Water's coming
up real quick.
27
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:39,080
Come on out.
28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,020
Whoa! Whoa.
29
00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:43,000
- [Scott] [bleep] no!
- [Kayla] Scott!
30
00:01:46,820 --> 00:01:48,340
Wheeled in!
31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,410
How about you [bleep]
go back to camp?
32
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,740
I'm not here to scream.
I'm here to work.
33
00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:56,640
It's not easy for any of us
to be here.
34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,410
This is hard damn work.
We all know it.
35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,740
[Dustin] I'm excited
that you're diving.
36
00:02:03,940 --> 00:02:06,530
I'm more excited that I think
you're gonna get gold.
37
00:02:06,730 --> 00:02:08,080
[laughing]
38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,530
When the water bleeds,
you're so close to gold.
39
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:13,410
[all cheering]
40
00:02:25,930 --> 00:02:27,510
[Dustin] Oh, look at the snow.
41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,860
It's getting cold, y'all.
42
00:02:31,340 --> 00:02:32,550
Snow in the mountains.
43
00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:35,640
Freezing down here.
44
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880
[narrator] Two-thirds
of the way through the season,
45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,500
Mine boss Dustin Hurt
46
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:42,570
has just weeks left
to secure a fortune in gold,
47
00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:45,500
and his future on Nugget Creek
48
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:47,150
before winter hits.
49
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:50,330
[Dustin] All right, uh,
well, let's suit up.
50
00:02:50,530 --> 00:02:52,500
We all know
we need waders, right?
51
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:54,500
There's a red layer
down there,
52
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:57,020
somewhere that we
haven't really seen yet.
53
00:02:57,220 --> 00:03:00,360
- [Dustin] And, uh,
that's where the gold is.
- Yeah.
54
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,400
[narrator] Last week,
after a string of disasters,
55
00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:08,080
Dustin sought help
from former claim owner
Al Gilliam.
56
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,500
It's been the hardest
digging year I've ever had.
57
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:14,500
Don't expect to find gold
until you get down to bedrock.
58
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:17,950
You're gonna find a layer
and it's just all rusted
reddish color,
59
00:03:18,150 --> 00:03:20,200
and it's all
bound together tight.
60
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:23,820
If you stay with it,
61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,170
this is what
you're gonna find.
62
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600
[Dustin chuckles]
63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,840
[narrator]
Armed with new intel...
64
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,260
Oh, my[bleep]! Look up there!
65
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:36,330
Look underneath
the gold gates.
66
00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:38,600
[narrator] ...Dustin finally
catches a break.
67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,050
Did this[bleep]
set us up or what?
68
00:03:41,250 --> 00:03:43,330
[narrator] In a stroke
of good luck,
69
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:46,330
the storm has left
a perfect dive spot
70
00:03:46,530 --> 00:03:49,080
in the shadow
of a monster granite boulder.
71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,080
The water did exactly what
I wanted it to do.
72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,930
This is one big
sluice box right here.
73
00:03:56,030 --> 00:03:58,050
[narrator]
Buried somewhere beneath
74
00:03:58,250 --> 00:04:00,810
is a layer
of rust-colored hardpack.
75
00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:03,500
Inside is a pay streak
76
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:06,510
that promises to run
all the way down to bedrock.
77
00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:12,130
Dustin could be on the brink
of striking it rich.
78
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:15,120
[Dustin] I've been trying
to dig a hole all season.
79
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,570
Weather won't
cooperate, and, uh,
80
00:04:17,770 --> 00:04:20,290
sun's up for the first time
in a long time,
81
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:24,150
so hopefully, with any luck,
today's our day.
82
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:26,290
Whatever it is,
83
00:04:26,490 --> 00:04:28,270
it happens out here.
84
00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:32,500
We are so invested
we have to keep going.
85
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:34,030
Keep digging a hole.
86
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,750
We'll get it done,
87
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,340
gonna find some gold.
88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,480
Ah, [bleep].
89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,130
Man, that's a lot
of water here.
90
00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:46,790
[bleep] sake.
91
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,880
What?
92
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,130
All our water dribbled down.
93
00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:56,000
[Dustin] You have got
to be kidding me.
94
00:05:00,030 --> 00:05:02,400
Water level came down,
now we have
to float the dredge
95
00:05:02,590 --> 00:05:04,020
to make it work again.
96
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:06,840
The dredge is sitting
on dry land right now,
97
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,570
it's not dredging,
so we're not getting gold.
98
00:05:08,770 --> 00:05:10,000
This is not a good thing.
99
00:05:12,030 --> 00:05:16,220
[narrator] Overnight,
water levels dropped after
temperatures plunged
100
00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:17,910
to below 30 degrees,
101
00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:21,000
freezing the runoff
and grounding their dredge.
102
00:05:22,170 --> 00:05:24,360
[Wes Richardson] That needs
some serious [bleep] work.
103
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,050
[Dustin] Think I got an idea.
104
00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:29,430
See if we can block it off
with a little bit
of plastic, maybe.
105
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:31,500
[narrator] To catch gold,
106
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:35,260
The sluice needs
to rest between four
and eight degrees.
107
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,330
And the only way
to ensure that
108
00:05:37,530 --> 00:05:40,720
is to fill the pond
and float the dredge.
109
00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:45,910
So, I just wanna get
the water level up,
that's all I really need.
110
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:47,770
So I just figured,
I've got this plastic.
111
00:05:47,970 --> 00:05:50,430
We throw it on there,
when we get done,
we can pull it right out
112
00:05:50,630 --> 00:05:52,770
and take it down with us,
but for now,
113
00:05:52,970 --> 00:05:53,880
we're gonna use it
to our advantage
114
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,810
and get our water level
up a little bit.
115
00:05:56,010 --> 00:05:57,720
[Carlos] Let's see here,
what're we gonna do?
116
00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:00,790
That'll work.
117
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,910
Oh, [bleep].
118
00:06:06,110 --> 00:06:08,430
Wes, it's working.
119
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:11,030
- [Carlos] Wanna push
back a little bit?
- [Wes] Oh, heck yeah, man.
120
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,400
[Wes] That's what
I'm talking about. Yeah!
121
00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:18,980
- Fire it up.
- [motor whirring]
122
00:06:19,180 --> 00:06:20,600
[narrator] Carlos can now
start dredging
123
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,150
for the gold-rich
red hardpack.
124
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:25,050
Oh, yeah, turn that water up.
125
00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:27,810
[Carlos] She's a-dredging.
We're dredging!
126
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:31,430
This is it. Come on, baby.
127
00:06:31,630 --> 00:06:34,960
This is where we get gold.
This is where we get gold.
128
00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:42,370
[laughs]
129
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,130
- [Kayla] I'm just
topping them off.
- [Scott] Okay.
130
00:06:53,550 --> 00:06:57,150
[Kayla]
Today, Justin and Scott
are gonna be in the water.
131
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:58,810
We're trying to get
a quick start,
132
00:06:59,010 --> 00:07:01,640
because right now
we have a little bit
of clarity in the water,
133
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:03,710
which makes it easier
on the divers.
134
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:07,080
But since it is sunny,
as soon as that sun
hits the snow upstream,
135
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:09,600
the water level rises,
it murks out.
136
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,950
[narrator]
Unlike at Dustin's site,
137
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:16,360
the freeze in the mountains
is actually helping
Kayla's crew.
138
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,020
- [Justin Peterson]
The water is clear and low.
- [Scott] Yup.
139
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:21,240
- [Justin] Current don't
look too bad right now.
- [Scott] No, it don't.
140
00:07:23,550 --> 00:07:26,980
My goal today is to punch
down and try to get down
to eight feet.
141
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,430
Keep following this
bedrock wall down,
142
00:07:29,630 --> 00:07:32,120
I gotta believe that
Nugget Creek is gonna
live up to its name.
143
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,640
And we need all hands on deck.
It's too late in the season
144
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,840
and we're all way too tired
and broken and beaten down.
145
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,580
I'm really hoping that
this spot pays off as well
as we think it will.
146
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,260
Yeah, I know it's slightly
annoying to have
the tape on there,
147
00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:49,400
but it's even more annoying
to have frozen hands.
148
00:07:49,590 --> 00:07:50,980
[Justin] Yeah, I know.
149
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,290
- [Kayla] Scott.
- [Scott] Yup.
150
00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:55,080
[Kayla] You're gonna be on
the small dredge side.
151
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,740
Justin, you're gonna
be on the outer
dredge today.
152
00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:00,220
[Justin] No problem.
153
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:03,430
Got the hole basically
to around five feet in depth.
154
00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:06,290
If we keep following this
bedrock wall on this side,
155
00:08:06,490 --> 00:08:08,220
it keeps sloping down.
156
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:09,740
We'll find where
it starts leveling out
157
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:12,330
and we can find
the bottom of the creek
and hit actual bedrock.
158
00:08:12,530 --> 00:08:16,290
I'm really hoping that
within the next week
we can see some gold.
159
00:08:16,490 --> 00:08:20,120
[narrator] After three months
finding only traces of gold,
160
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,480
Kayla is modifying her plan.
161
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,430
On the nearest side
of the creek,
162
00:08:27,630 --> 00:08:30,270
they've identified
a sloping wall of bedrock.
163
00:08:31,370 --> 00:08:33,950
Kayla will chase it down
to the deepest point
164
00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:35,500
in the center of the creek
165
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:39,260
where she believes,
below the layer
of red hardpack
166
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:42,130
they will find
a treasure trove of gold.
167
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,170
- [Paul Richardson] How's that?
- [Scott on radio] Little more
on the bottom down here.
168
00:08:50,060 --> 00:08:52,910
[Kayla] So, we need
to just work together
169
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:54,570
and get it done.
170
00:08:54,770 --> 00:08:56,570
We really need
to see gold soon
171
00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:58,570
because we're running
out of time.
172
00:08:58,770 --> 00:09:01,890
And if we don't get any gold,
then we wasted
an entire season.
173
00:09:03,930 --> 00:09:05,430
That feel good?
174
00:09:05,630 --> 00:09:06,910
[Paul] Can you hear me, Scott?
175
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:09,620
- [Scott] Yeah, I can hear you.
- That's good. Copy that.
176
00:09:10,410 --> 00:09:11,790
[Paul] I can hear you.
177
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,330
Good? All right, I think
you're good to go.
178
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:16,720
[Scott] Sweet.
179
00:09:17,410 --> 00:09:18,370
Let's find some gold.
180
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,510
- [Justin] That feels good.
- [Paul] All right.
You ready?
181
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:37,840
[Paul] It's definitely nice
having two divers
in the water
182
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,950
completely suited up again.
183
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:42,910
Right now, we are in
a desperate fight
184
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:45,050
to get to the bottom,
see if we can find some gold.
185
00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:46,530
before weather runs us out.
186
00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:48,460
Everything we've heard
about this area,
187
00:09:48,660 --> 00:09:52,240
we need to get
to that rusty red layer,
that's where the gold is.
188
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:55,150
[Scott] All right.
189
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:57,440
- [Scott] Can I get a choker?
- [Justin] Oh, yeah.
190
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:01,030
[Scott] Thank you.
191
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:06,680
[Kayla] Is that rock
ready to go?
192
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:08,820
[Justin] What?
193
00:10:15,860 --> 00:10:17,130
[Kayla] Is that rock
ready to go?
194
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,170
- [Kayla] Justin.
- [Scott] Justin.
195
00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:22,570
[Scott] That rock good to go?
196
00:10:22,770 --> 00:10:24,310
[Justin] Yeah, yeah.
It's good to go.
197
00:10:26,130 --> 00:10:27,580
[Scott] Gotta say
something, dude.
198
00:10:29,550 --> 00:10:31,120
[Paul] If you need something,
Justin, you gotta ask for it.
199
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,510
Nobody can read your mind.
200
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:35,840
[Kayla] Hey, Justin.
201
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,060
I have to have
you communicate.
202
00:10:39,860 --> 00:10:41,840
[Justin speaking]
203
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,710
[Kayla] It's just a yes
or a no.
204
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:46,810
- [Kayla] Yes, communicate,
please communicate.
- [Justin] Yeah.
205
00:10:47,010 --> 00:10:48,770
[Justin] I will.
206
00:10:48,970 --> 00:10:51,770
[Kayla] This year
is definitely
trying my patience.
207
00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:53,530
Every day we've had issues,
208
00:10:53,730 --> 00:10:56,150
whether it be the winches, um,
209
00:10:56,350 --> 00:10:58,400
motor on the dredge
not wanting to start,
210
00:10:58,590 --> 00:10:59,980
hot water overheating.
211
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:01,570
We've always had
something going wrong.
212
00:11:01,770 --> 00:11:04,130
And it's definitely
a frustrating place.
213
00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:11,310
[Justin] That rock you're
standing on needs to go.
214
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,930
[Scott] Yeah, 'cause I'm
right up against it now.
215
00:11:19,860 --> 00:11:22,330
It's uppercutting
into the current.
216
00:11:22,530 --> 00:11:24,430
[narrator] While Scott
dredges for depth,
217
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:27,810
Justin works above him,
widening the dive hole
218
00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:29,550
and removing rocks.
219
00:11:32,580 --> 00:11:34,670
[Justin] All right,
what do you got, Scott?
220
00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:36,740
[Scott] What? That you?
221
00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:38,050
[Justin] Yeah, that's my head.
222
00:11:38,250 --> 00:11:40,440
Yeah.[laughs]
223
00:11:41,620 --> 00:11:44,570
All right, I gotta go
around that way.
224
00:11:44,770 --> 00:11:46,620
- [Scott] Oh,[bleep]! No!
- [Kayla] No, Scott!
225
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,150
[Justin] All right,
what do you got, Scott?
226
00:11:58,350 --> 00:11:59,500
[Scott] What?
227
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:02,600
[narrator] In an effort
to salvage their season...
228
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,600
[Scott] That suction
feels really good.
229
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,150
[narrator] ...Scott and Justin
are working close quarters
230
00:12:08,350 --> 00:12:11,030
as they push towards
a bedrock payday.
231
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:15,890
- [Scott] That you?
- [Justin]
Yeah, that's my head.
232
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,480
[Scott] Yeah.[laughs]
233
00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:22,740
I gotta go around
that way--[yelps]
234
00:12:22,940 --> 00:12:24,310
- [Justin] No!
- [Kayla] Scott!
235
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,910
- [Kayla] What'd you do?
- [Scott groans]
236
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:30,130
[Scott] [bleep].
237
00:12:31,130 --> 00:12:32,270
Ugh.
238
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:39,440
[Kayla] You okay?
What's wrong?
239
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:42,200
[Scott] Pulled a[bleep].
240
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,460
Argh.
241
00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:48,500
[Scott] [bleep], Justin,
I told him earlier
to [bleep] move a rock.
242
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:52,080
Like, yeah, I told him,
I thought that it could,
so I went to move.
243
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,000
It came down and there was
another rock underneath me.
244
00:12:56,370 --> 00:12:58,620
- [Kayla] Ouch.
- [bleep] me.
245
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,840
- [Scott] It's right on
the ankle bone, like right...
- [Kayla] Right here?
246
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,750
[Scott] Right there is where
it hurts the most.
247
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:10,670
It might just be, like,
an impact hurt,
248
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:13,000
and maybe it'll wear off
in about ten minutes.
249
00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:16,720
- Wanna give it a rest
for a little while?
- Yeah.
250
00:13:18,370 --> 00:13:19,770
[Kayla] See how you feel.
251
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:22,240
If it's hurting too bad,
one of us will get in for you.
252
00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:25,220
Scott hurt his ankle.
253
00:13:25,420 --> 00:13:29,270
Um, it sounds like had
a big rock that he had Justin
roll out of the way.
254
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:32,500
Justin told him that
he got it up and out,
255
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:34,570
but, really, it sounds like
he just, like,
256
00:13:34,770 --> 00:13:36,220
stacked it on
the perimeter of the hole.
257
00:13:36,420 --> 00:13:38,930
So, there's a lack
of communication, and...
258
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,020
...it's starting
to cause issues.
259
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:43,980
[Scott] I don't know
what to do with this.
260
00:13:44,180 --> 00:13:46,840
You've been on top of me
almost this entire
[bleep] dive.
261
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,370
Hey, Justin.
262
00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:52,170
Justin!
263
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,810
Work farther that way
264
00:13:58,010 --> 00:13:59,620
so that he has room
on this side.
265
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:02,820
- [Kayla] How's your ankle?
- It hurts.
266
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:05,410
I don't know, I'll tell you
at the end of the day.
267
00:14:08,340 --> 00:14:10,510
[Kayla] If you need
to switch out,
just let me know.
268
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,460
You don't communicate,
especially when there's
269
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:22,020
another diver in the water
with you,
270
00:14:22,220 --> 00:14:24,650
you're putting the other
person in danger.
271
00:14:25,790 --> 00:14:28,220
- But, like, right now,
he doesn't talk.
- Exactly.
272
00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:30,060
[Paul] We don't even know,
I don't even know if he's
in the water.
273
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,530
[Kayla] I don't know what
the [bleep] to do with him.
274
00:14:32,730 --> 00:14:34,810
It's to the point where
he's becoming a threat
275
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,820
to our equipment
and our people.
276
00:14:46,890 --> 00:14:48,810
- [Carlos] It's quite deep.
- [Dustin] Let's go deep.
277
00:14:49,010 --> 00:14:50,150
[Dustin] We got a dive,
ain't we?
278
00:14:50,350 --> 00:14:51,550
We've got a dive, dude.
279
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,810
[narrator] In an hour,
Dustin's crew has cleared
280
00:14:56,010 --> 00:14:57,770
over three feet of gravel
281
00:14:57,970 --> 00:15:00,000
in their hunt
for the red hardpack.
282
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,530
[Carlos] Gotta blow these
straight out of the way.
283
00:15:04,730 --> 00:15:06,270
- [Dustin] This one, this one,
and that one?
- [Carlos] Yep.
284
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,020
- [Dustin laughs]
- We gotta pop 'em, dude.
285
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:11,400
- You comfortable doing this?
- [Carlos] I'm good.
286
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:14,020
James and I are gonna
start drilling and blasting.
287
00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:16,150
Well, we got the dredge going,
288
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:17,770
and the hole's getting
deeper and deeper.
289
00:15:17,970 --> 00:15:19,980
And there's a few
big rocks in the way.
290
00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:22,460
So James and I
are gonna get after him
291
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:24,290
and make little rocks
out of big rocks.
292
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:26,670
[pops] Manageable sizes.
293
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:28,000
[laughs]
294
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,790
I'd say go three at least.
295
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:41,580
[Carlos grunts]
296
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:43,650
Sorry.
297
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,580
Blow it up!
298
00:15:47,340 --> 00:15:49,720
[Dustin] Three, two, one!
299
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:52,020
Whoa.
300
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:54,860
- [Dustin] Let's do that again.
- [man] Yeah!
301
00:15:56,930 --> 00:15:58,100
[Dustin] Goodness.
302
00:16:01,510 --> 00:16:03,480
- [whirring]
- [Dustin] It's starting
to move.
303
00:16:08,410 --> 00:16:11,820
[Dustin] I'm just saying,
like, the water is coming up
pretty good.
304
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,530
We were worried about
not having water this morning.
305
00:16:16,730 --> 00:16:19,150
- [Carlos] I know.
- [Dustin] That's not a problem
anymore, Carlos.
306
00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:22,000
[Carlos laughs] Obviously not.
307
00:16:23,930 --> 00:16:28,080
So the water has picked up
since we have got here
this morning.
308
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,570
It might be, uh,
through the full day
of sunshine,
309
00:16:31,770 --> 00:16:33,000
which we rarely get.
310
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,310
Snow is melting
and it's coming down hard.
311
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:41,820
- [Dustin] Man, that's a lot
of white water, man.
- [Carlos] Yeah, it is.
312
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,740
[Dustin] It floods
when it rains,
313
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:49,680
and it floods more
when it's sunny.
314
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,790
That's the [bleep].
315
00:16:53,890 --> 00:16:55,020
[Carlos] Oh, [bleep].
316
00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:57,840
What? Whoa! [bleep]!
317
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,950
That's a lot of water
you got coming down, man.
318
00:17:00,150 --> 00:17:01,910
That's a lot of dirty water.
319
00:17:02,110 --> 00:17:03,580
Think we got
a flash flood coming.
320
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,910
[narrator] In just seconds,
321
00:17:06,110 --> 00:17:08,710
millions of gallons
of raging water
322
00:17:08,910 --> 00:17:10,950
now surges through
Nugget Creek,
323
00:17:11,150 --> 00:17:14,840
threatening to erase
all their progress once again.
324
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,080
[Dustin] Grab my drill,
come on out
and get out of here.
325
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,190
Water's coming up real quick.
326
00:17:19,390 --> 00:17:21,050
Come on out. Oh, [bleep].
327
00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:24,510
I'm mostly worried about
trees coming through
right now. [bleep].
328
00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:27,370
Whoa!
329
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,240
Hurry up, hustle it up,
let's get it back.
Let's get the nozzle up.
330
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:37,430
What is with this place, man?
331
00:17:37,630 --> 00:17:39,930
- [Dustin] That's some
crazy [bleep].
- [Carlos] Yeah, it is.
332
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,930
You're not gonna have
a hole again in a minute.
333
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,550
Where did this come from, man?
334
00:17:47,310 --> 00:17:49,270
[Carlos] Heat. The heat.
335
00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:51,530
Snow bridge.
336
00:17:51,730 --> 00:17:53,170
[Dustin] Snow bridge,
you're right.
337
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:56,840
[narrator] Even late
in the season,
338
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,240
snow bridges still
cover over a mile
of the upper creek.
339
00:18:01,370 --> 00:18:03,330
[Dustin] Well, the snow
bridges collapsed.
340
00:18:03,530 --> 00:18:07,430
And obviously,
it's warming up today
for them to keep collapsing.
341
00:18:07,630 --> 00:18:10,050
There's just so much material
on top of them,
342
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:13,740
it just hits the damn
water so hard,
343
00:18:13,940 --> 00:18:17,670
and all this little bitty
fine kitty litter,
the stuff here,
344
00:18:17,870 --> 00:18:20,030
just fills in everywhere.
345
00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:22,510
[Carlos] Son of a gun.
346
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,580
It's that quick.
Take your work.
347
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,030
Take your work that fast
in an instant.
348
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:33,430
[Carlos] We can't catch
a frickin' break.
349
00:18:33,630 --> 00:18:35,810
[Dustin] Might be a good time
to go up there and check out
their place.
350
00:18:36,010 --> 00:18:37,880
[Carlos] I don't know.
I hope they got out.
351
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,550
[Dustin] We should go up there
and check it out.
352
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:44,960
How's it going over here?
353
00:18:45,790 --> 00:18:46,910
[Kayla] Oh, it's getting dark.
354
00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:48,130
[Paul] It's getting real dark.
355
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,820
[Scott] There's a lot
of organic coming down.
356
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,360
- [Wes shouting] Ice!
- [Paul] What the hell?
357
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,150
[Wes] That snow bridge
must've just collapsed.
358
00:18:58,350 --> 00:19:00,670
Usually it doesn't stay
brown that long.
359
00:19:00,870 --> 00:19:01,930
[Paul] Yeah.
360
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,910
[Wes] So, our water picked up
almost instantly.
361
00:19:06,110 --> 00:19:08,260
I mean, it is starting to wash
this stuff down, like,
362
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:09,950
like something
broke loose up here.
363
00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:12,050
We figured a snow bridge
or something broke loose
up here,
364
00:19:12,250 --> 00:19:14,150
so we just, like,
we got out for a minute
365
00:19:14,350 --> 00:19:15,950
'cause it's starting
to take our dredge hose
366
00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:18,330
and filled up
our hole in, like,
three minutes, and...
367
00:19:18,530 --> 00:19:21,290
[Dustin] Three minutes,
filled up a three-foot hole.
368
00:19:21,490 --> 00:19:22,950
Holy [bleep].
369
00:19:23,150 --> 00:19:24,880
- Right up to the top, man.
- [Paul] Yeah.
370
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,120
It was wild.
371
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,120
[Kayla] I think
we're gonna call it.
372
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,370
Hey, Scott.
373
00:19:30,410 --> 00:19:31,400
[Scott] Yeah?
374
00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:33,770
What do you think
your depth is right there?
375
00:19:33,970 --> 00:19:36,360
[Scott] So I'm right
about there.
So I'm 6'2"...
376
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,530
- [Kayla] So, about six feet.
- [Scott] ...about six foot.
377
00:19:38,730 --> 00:19:41,500
[Scott] Probably about
three feet into the hole.
378
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:43,260
[Kayla] Are you at a good spot
that you could stop?
379
00:19:43,460 --> 00:19:45,770
We're gonna call it.
380
00:19:45,970 --> 00:19:47,510
[Scott] I'm gonna need
about ten minutes, yeah.
381
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:53,500
[narrator] It's another
tough blow to a battered crew.
382
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:57,080
And morale
is at an all-time low.
383
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,260
Did y'all just stay
against this wall
the whole way?
384
00:19:59,460 --> 00:20:01,400
[Paul] No, well,
Scott's right here,
385
00:20:01,590 --> 00:20:03,190
Justin's out
towards the basket,
386
00:20:03,390 --> 00:20:04,460
or he's supposed to be.
387
00:20:04,660 --> 00:20:05,750
[Wes] He's supposed to be?
388
00:20:06,820 --> 00:20:07,980
[chuckling] Is anything
going on with the dredge?
389
00:20:08,180 --> 00:20:09,950
[Paul] I have no clue.
390
00:20:10,150 --> 00:20:12,000
I just know he doesn't
communicate at all.
391
00:20:12,650 --> 00:20:13,650
Not a word.
392
00:20:15,030 --> 00:20:16,000
[Kayla] Yeah.
393
00:20:18,580 --> 00:20:19,980
[Wes] That makes it
kinda tough.
394
00:20:20,180 --> 00:20:21,290
What I'm beginning
to wonder with him,
395
00:20:21,490 --> 00:20:22,430
if he doesn't have
a hearing problem...
396
00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:24,150
[Dustin] He does have
a hearing problem.
397
00:20:24,350 --> 00:20:25,640
[Paul] Really?
398
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,880
[Kayla] Kinda something
you should tell people.
399
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,770
Yeah, that's pretty important.
400
00:20:29,970 --> 00:20:31,430
[Kayla] He's the worst
at communication.
401
00:20:31,630 --> 00:20:32,770
Whether you can hear or not,
402
00:20:32,970 --> 00:20:34,430
- you can still speak.
- Yeah.
403
00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:36,290
[Kayla] I have to talk to him.
404
00:20:36,490 --> 00:20:38,500
[Paul] All right, kids,
see you at camp.
405
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:40,020
[Scott] I'm smoked. I'm done.
406
00:20:40,220 --> 00:20:41,640
Justin, come out.
407
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,000
[Justin] Okay.
408
00:20:49,340 --> 00:20:51,980
We gotta communicate
a lot better underwater, dude.
409
00:20:52,180 --> 00:20:54,570
[Justin] I can't hear
anything down there.
410
00:20:54,770 --> 00:20:56,770
When you have
two people in water
that you can't see in,
411
00:20:56,970 --> 00:20:59,810
whether you can
hear us or not,
you have to talk.
412
00:21:00,010 --> 00:21:01,750
Have to, there's no excuse.
413
00:21:02,750 --> 00:21:05,360
Like, when I got out
of the water, free flow,
414
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,950
I could hear,
quietly, everyone.
415
00:21:08,150 --> 00:21:10,120
So I had to come up.
If I was down below,
416
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,200
and the air was going,
I could barely, like,
417
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,710
...unless someone
really yelled.
418
00:21:15,910 --> 00:21:17,770
[Paul] I've got all,
all the volumes
are maxed out,
419
00:21:17,970 --> 00:21:19,650
diver to tender's maxed out...
420
00:21:20,820 --> 00:21:22,120
tender to diver's maxed out,
421
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,880
diver to diver is maxed out.
422
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,770
[Kayla] Do you have
a hearing issue?
Can you not hear?
423
00:21:26,970 --> 00:21:29,370
I mean, I do have
slight hearing loss.
424
00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:35,670
We can still talk.
We're not trying
to pick on you,
425
00:21:35,870 --> 00:21:38,840
but it's something,
it has to improve.
426
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,950
Or we can't put you
in the water because
427
00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:42,510
it's becoming
a hazard to people.
428
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,410
[Scott]
We'll get you up there.
Don't worry about it, buddy.
429
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,170
I'll get you there.
430
00:21:50,170 --> 00:21:51,530
We.
431
00:21:51,730 --> 00:21:53,650
- [Scott] Yeah, we.
We will get you there. Sorry.
- It's not just you.
432
00:21:56,130 --> 00:21:58,120
I've definitely lost
a little bit of hearing.
433
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,950
I've worked
at industry situations
a long time,
434
00:22:01,150 --> 00:22:04,220
and as diligent as you are
about earplugs and everything,
435
00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:06,710
you're gonna have
some effects from that
over the years.
436
00:22:06,910 --> 00:22:09,580
But I try not to let it
ever get in the way.
437
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,460
He needs to communicate more.
438
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:18,640
He needs to talk.
We need to know
what's going on.
439
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,190
And if he's not going to talk,
440
00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:21,860
then I'm not going
to put him back in the water.
441
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,060
Getting some go juice
for the dredges,
442
00:22:41,930 --> 00:22:42,930
generators.
443
00:22:45,370 --> 00:22:47,840
We need to get
a full dive day.
444
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,510
It's starting to get
termination dust on top
of these peaks.
445
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,330
And when that happens,
we just watch the snow get
446
00:22:55,530 --> 00:22:56,880
further down,
come further down,
447
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,960
further down, further down,
and when it gets...
448
00:23:00,310 --> 00:23:02,740
...real close,
we gotta boot-scoot, man.
449
00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:05,310
Mother Nature wins at the end.
450
00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:07,860
See you up there, man.
Good luck, guys.
451
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,570
- [Dustin] I am anxious to see
what it's gonna look like.
- [Carlos] Ah.
452
00:23:23,770 --> 00:23:26,430
[Dustin] This... well,
let's go see how much
it filled in.
453
00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:27,550
[Carlos] Yeah.
454
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:34,360
- [Carlos] Filled in.
- [Dustin] No [bleep]!
455
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,190
- What?
- Our hole filled in.
456
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:37,360
Filled in.
457
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,050
[narrator] The surge
from the snow bridge collapse
458
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:43,410
has dumped three feet
of material into
their dive hole.
459
00:23:44,060 --> 00:23:45,290
[James] All the way up.
460
00:23:45,490 --> 00:23:48,360
[narrator] Their search
for the gold rich
red hard pack
461
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,050
is back to square one.
462
00:23:51,250 --> 00:23:54,840
That's kitty litter, bro.
We can just such that out,
like no problem.
463
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,600
The big boulders,
it's when they fell in
with the big boulders,
464
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,950
that's the problem.
465
00:23:59,150 --> 00:24:01,890
Kitty litter, it's just
a thorn in our side.
466
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,310
We can take it out
just as quick.
467
00:24:05,930 --> 00:24:07,190
It's just annoying.
468
00:24:07,390 --> 00:24:08,440
[James] We've got the hose in.
469
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,790
[Carlos] Yeah, fire it up.
470
00:24:12,370 --> 00:24:14,050
[engine starts]
471
00:24:14,250 --> 00:24:15,440
- [James] There you go.
- [Carlos] Whoo!
472
00:24:16,370 --> 00:24:17,170
Yeah!
473
00:24:27,410 --> 00:24:29,650
Yeah, look how deep
that is. Ooh!
474
00:24:31,030 --> 00:24:32,200
That is deep.
475
00:24:33,410 --> 00:24:34,710
[James] Pretty incredible.
476
00:24:34,910 --> 00:24:36,840
Let's get a diver
int the water, man.
477
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,440
I'm gonna go suit up.
Why not?
478
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:42,710
[narrator] It's a race
to reach the red hard pack
479
00:24:42,910 --> 00:24:45,440
before Mother Nature
lands her next blow.
480
00:24:46,750 --> 00:24:49,400
Feeling pretty confident
about this dive.
481
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:52,950
We got good vis and it's time
to get to work.
482
00:24:53,150 --> 00:24:55,770
We need to get gold,
we're desperate.
483
00:24:55,970 --> 00:24:57,260
[Dustin] We just need
to dive down.
484
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:59,710
We need to find that red
layer down there.
485
00:24:59,910 --> 00:25:02,960
If no one's got to it
we're gonna get
a ton of gold out of here.
486
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,710
[Carlos] Speak, James.
487
00:25:06,910 --> 00:25:07,620
[James] Hello?
488
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:09,100
[Dustin] I got you.
489
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,480
Air check.
490
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,620
Good.
491
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,050
I'm excited
that you're diving.
492
00:25:15,250 --> 00:25:17,530
I'm more excited
that I think you're
gonna get gold.
493
00:25:17,730 --> 00:25:18,440
[James laughs]
494
00:25:20,030 --> 00:25:22,370
- Look, all right, James,
you're good to go.
- [James] All right.
495
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,880
[Dustin] Diver in the water.
496
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,740
- Diver in the water.
- [Dustin on radio]
Diver in the water.
497
00:25:34,940 --> 00:25:36,030
Finally, right?
498
00:25:37,820 --> 00:25:40,460
[James on radio]
I like the fact I can see.
499
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:43,370
Some rocks, so I need
to start out with in the back.
500
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,270
Thank you, Carlos.
501
00:25:49,860 --> 00:25:50,960
Hot water's good.
502
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,360
Finally digging.
All right.
503
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,890
I wouldn't be surprised
if we see gold today, guys.
504
00:25:58,550 --> 00:26:00,260
[grunts]
505
00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:02,790
[Dustin on radio]
I hope you're run,
but don't blow it, man.
506
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,290
[Kayla]...Care, when
are you going?
507
00:26:08,490 --> 00:26:10,170
[bleep] you're not
the [bleep] boss.
508
00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:14,710
[narrator] After three
long months of hard labor,
509
00:26:14,910 --> 00:26:18,260
bad weather, injuries,
and endless setbacks,
510
00:26:18,460 --> 00:26:23,220
Kayla's crew still haven't
found a single ounce of gold.
511
00:26:23,420 --> 00:26:26,600
[Scott] [bleep] be a little
crybaby about [bleep] that.
512
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,810
What the [bleep]
is wrong with you?
513
00:26:28,010 --> 00:26:31,050
[narrator] Crew morale
is nearing rock bottom,
514
00:26:31,250 --> 00:26:33,810
and tempers are on
a hair trigger.
515
00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:35,840
[Scott] Don't use my [bleep]
batteries then, how's that?
516
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,290
I have my own
[bleep] batteries.
517
00:26:37,490 --> 00:26:38,810
Cool, use your own
[bleep] batteries.
518
00:26:39,010 --> 00:26:40,710
How about you
[bleep] go back to camp?
519
00:26:40,910 --> 00:26:41,620
[Scott] All right.
520
00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:44,790
[Kayla] I am tired of your
[bleep] attitude.
521
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Cool.
522
00:26:55,310 --> 00:26:56,910
I tried to make things work.
523
00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:58,260
- No, you [bleep]--
- I tried to make things work
524
00:26:58,460 --> 00:27:00,360
as efficiently
as [bleep] possible.
525
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,680
[Kayla] You make it worse.
526
00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:03,770
The [bleep] I do.
527
00:27:03,970 --> 00:27:05,260
[Kayla] You do.
528
00:27:05,460 --> 00:27:07,670
With your [bleep] attitude,
you been bringing
all these along to work,
529
00:27:07,870 --> 00:27:09,100
you're making it
[bleep] worse.
530
00:27:10,370 --> 00:27:11,570
Well, with your attitude
that you're bringing,
531
00:27:11,770 --> 00:27:13,880
you been making
the season worse, so...
532
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,580
I guess that's par
for the course, isn't it?
533
00:27:17,860 --> 00:27:19,580
Get the [bleep]
out of my face, Scott.
534
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,310
Get the [bleep]
out of my face.
535
00:27:25,860 --> 00:27:26,860
I'm done with you.
536
00:27:28,550 --> 00:27:29,810
Should've fired you last year
537
00:27:30,010 --> 00:27:32,890
when you [bleep] told [bleep]
last year [bleep].
538
00:27:34,550 --> 00:27:35,790
Should've let Dustin fire you.
539
00:27:38,750 --> 00:27:39,810
I put my heart and soul
into this.
540
00:27:40,010 --> 00:27:41,620
That's all there is to it.
541
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,510
Worked my ass off.
542
00:27:48,930 --> 00:27:51,030
I don't know.
Don't know.
543
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:55,060
I don't know what's going on.
544
00:27:58,130 --> 00:28:00,880
I [bleep] worked my [bleep]
into the dirt for her.
545
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,270
Oh, what the hell?
546
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:04,710
What's going on?
547
00:28:04,910 --> 00:28:06,600
- She fired me.
- She said that?
548
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,190
- Yep.
- [Carlos] You'll be
all right, bro.
549
00:28:09,390 --> 00:28:10,790
You gotta be the bigger
man on this one.
550
00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:13,400
[Dustin] Let's talk.
551
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:15,600
- [Scott] I'm out of here.
- [Carlos] That's the temper
talking, amigo.
552
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,500
It's a temper talk.
553
00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:20,080
At the end of the season,
we hate each other.
554
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,710
There's no gold
to bring us together.
555
00:28:22,910 --> 00:28:25,430
Everything's a little bit
unstable, man.
556
00:28:25,630 --> 00:28:28,500
This is the time where you see
what you're made of.
557
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:31,910
[Wes] This is what separates
the man from the boys
right here.
558
00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:33,480
[Scott] What the [bleep]
is happening?
559
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:40,810
I just busted my ass.
560
00:28:41,010 --> 00:28:45,400
And then goes off
about my attitude.
561
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:48,290
Yeah, I've had a little bit
of an [bleep] attitude.
562
00:28:48,490 --> 00:28:49,980
I'm missing a lot [bleep]
back home with my kids
563
00:28:50,180 --> 00:28:51,330
and it's starting
to weigh on me.
564
00:28:51,530 --> 00:28:53,240
A lot firsts with my daughter.
565
00:28:54,930 --> 00:28:56,430
[sighs] First crawling,
first words,
566
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:57,500
I'm about to miss her
first steps
567
00:28:57,700 --> 00:28:58,910
and those are the things
you can't get back.
568
00:28:59,110 --> 00:29:01,410
So it's been weighing on me.
569
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:02,950
It hurts.
570
00:29:03,150 --> 00:29:04,770
You know, coming home
with a pocket full of gold,
571
00:29:04,970 --> 00:29:08,080
you've got something
in your hand that
you can show the kids.
572
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,980
Say, "Hey, this is what
Dad was gone for.
573
00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:13,220
This is gonna provide
a better life for us.
574
00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:16,740
This, you know,
Dad's sacrifice, being gone
from you and missing things,
575
00:29:16,940 --> 00:29:20,500
it was worthwhile because,
hey, you're gonna have
a better life because of it."
576
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:21,820
But I can't have that.
577
00:29:22,370 --> 00:29:23,810
I don't have that.
578
00:29:24,010 --> 00:29:25,130
I don't have that
gold in my hand.
579
00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:39,220
[Kayla]
Scott is a good worker.
580
00:29:39,420 --> 00:29:40,960
But don't disrespect
me like that.
581
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,950
- [Paul] No?
- I'm gonna tell you
to [bleep] leave.
582
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:47,410
Got so mad I don't even
want to get in the [bleep]
water now.
583
00:29:53,930 --> 00:29:55,220
[Dustin] Scott thinks
he's fired.
584
00:29:55,420 --> 00:29:56,910
- Is that right?
- [Kayla] He's not
[bleep] fired.
585
00:29:57,110 --> 00:29:58,880
I told Scott to go back
to camp for a little while
586
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,710
because he's throwing temper
tantrums all the time.
587
00:30:00,910 --> 00:30:02,240
- I'm tired of it.
- Okay.
588
00:30:05,310 --> 00:30:09,000
- I was just curious.
- I get the feeling that he's
trying to make us look bad.
589
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,360
Because he wants to run
the [bleep] crew.
590
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,360
[Dustin] I understand
what you're saying.
591
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,330
[Kayla] He wants to be
in charge and he's pissed
off that he's not in charge.
592
00:30:17,530 --> 00:30:18,980
And him's trying to step
on my toes,
593
00:30:19,180 --> 00:30:22,220
and that macho man,
immature [bleep]
can go somewhere else.
594
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:23,820
I don't have
the time for that.
595
00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:27,240
We're all here trying
to achieve the same goal.
596
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:31,260
I hear you. All right,
let me go talk to him.
597
00:30:31,460 --> 00:30:32,130
[Paul] All right.
598
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:40,310
Scott has brought up
multiple times, you know,
599
00:30:41,620 --> 00:30:42,950
he's got young
children at home.
600
00:30:43,150 --> 00:30:45,050
I understand it's hard
to be away,
601
00:30:45,250 --> 00:30:48,710
but we are all away
from the things that we love
and the people that we love
602
00:30:48,910 --> 00:30:49,710
to be here.
603
00:30:49,910 --> 00:30:52,190
He is not the only one
making a sacrifice.
604
00:30:52,390 --> 00:30:54,360
He pulled [bleep] like this
last year
605
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,410
and I can't take it anymore.
606
00:30:57,510 --> 00:30:59,120
Right now we don't
have time to waste.
607
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,980
So if somebody
doesn't want to work
608
00:31:02,180 --> 00:31:03,910
or if somebody
has an attitude,
609
00:31:04,110 --> 00:31:05,640
we're not gonna
let that stop us.
610
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,130
I'm not here to scream.
611
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:09,200
I'm here to work.
612
00:31:11,340 --> 00:31:14,600
[narrator] A man down,
Kayla can't risk Justin,
613
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,710
their most inexperienced
crew member
614
00:31:16,910 --> 00:31:19,200
tending for both her and Paul,
615
00:31:19,790 --> 00:31:21,430
[Kayla] Hey, Justin?
616
00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:23,770
how do you feel about getting
in the water?
617
00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:27,080
I don't quite think
I'm confident enough
618
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,260
to leave you up here by
yourself and tend two people.
619
00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:31,220
I know I can handle it.
620
00:31:31,420 --> 00:31:34,680
If you want to get
in the water so we can still
get out double dive in today
621
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:36,950
that would be a huge help.
622
00:31:37,150 --> 00:31:38,440
- Okay.
- [Kayla] Are you up for that?
623
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,290
- Okay.
- Yeah.
624
00:31:40,490 --> 00:31:41,500
- [Kayla] Want to start
getting suited up?
- All right.
625
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:43,120
I'll keep working on
where I know I was.
626
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,710
- [Kayla] Okay.
- So that works out great.
627
00:31:44,910 --> 00:31:48,080
I need you to make sure
that you focus clearly
on communication.
628
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,910
- Yeah, I've been
practicing with this.
- [Kayla] 100%.
629
00:31:50,110 --> 00:31:52,530
- So.
- It'll seem annoying,
630
00:31:52,730 --> 00:31:54,710
it'll seem weird,
it'll seem awkward.
631
00:31:54,910 --> 00:31:55,770
You gotta get over that.
632
00:31:55,970 --> 00:31:57,950
I need you, especially
with him.
633
00:31:58,150 --> 00:31:59,480
- [Justin] Yep.
- So talk to him.
634
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,710
Okay.
635
00:32:01,910 --> 00:32:04,290
We're not going
to hit that rock this year
if we don't focus.
636
00:32:04,490 --> 00:32:06,130
- Yes. I'll do
whatever it takes.
- So.
637
00:32:10,030 --> 00:32:14,430
[narrator] For Kayla
to continue to safely run
to two-dredge operation,
638
00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:17,410
Justin must prove
that he can change his ways.
639
00:32:18,340 --> 00:32:19,310
[Justin]
The water's still clear.
640
00:32:20,650 --> 00:32:23,600
We want to, like what
do we need to do here to...
641
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,910
Like what am I trying
to say here?
642
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:27,400
[Kayla] We need to focus
on widening the hole
643
00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:30,500
so that way, we can keep
going down and gain more
depth as well
644
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:32,290
and not tunnel straight down.
645
00:32:32,490 --> 00:32:34,400
I'm trying to...
I'm working on it a lot.
646
00:32:34,590 --> 00:32:36,400
[Paul] You can ask me
all kinds of questions
all day long.
647
00:32:36,590 --> 00:32:38,880
- [Kayla] Nobody's gonna get
mad about questions.
- [Paul] No.
648
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,050
But when you don't
do something and you don't
tell us that you don't know
649
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:44,840
and that's why you're
not doing it,
that's gonna piss me off.
650
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,400
When we're standing here
651
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:49,950
and it' quiet and I don't
have the rushing water,
I can hear.
652
00:32:50,150 --> 00:32:51,890
- [Paul] Yeah.
- But once it goes
in there, it's like...
653
00:32:52,890 --> 00:32:54,220
[muffled speaking] Like...
654
00:32:54,420 --> 00:32:56,910
and then [imitating radio]
"Justin," I know what
that means.
655
00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:59,260
Why don't we plug in
his mask right now?
656
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:02,200
If we can hear on it,
then we know there's
not an issue.
657
00:33:05,310 --> 00:33:06,840
You talk into this.
658
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,020
- Talk loud.
- [Justin] I'm talking.
659
00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:12,640
- Loud.
- I'm talking fairly
damn loud here.
660
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,670
- Not Scott level, but loud.
- [Kayla] Yell!
661
00:33:15,870 --> 00:33:18,100
- [loudly] Okay!
- Okay, I can hear you.
662
00:33:24,620 --> 00:33:26,050
[Kayla] Justin,
can you hear me?
663
00:33:26,250 --> 00:33:27,460
[Justin on radio]
You're clear.
664
00:33:27,660 --> 00:33:29,480
Close your ambient
and check your air
for me.
665
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,000
- Good?
- [Justin] Yep.
666
00:33:40,410 --> 00:33:42,100
[Justin on radio] I think
I'm on the edge of the hole,
I think.
667
00:33:47,580 --> 00:33:48,810
[Kayla on radio]
All right, you guys
have a good dive.
668
00:33:49,010 --> 00:33:51,430
We really need Justin
to cooperate from here on out
669
00:33:51,630 --> 00:33:53,220
because we don't
have that much time left.
670
00:33:53,420 --> 00:33:54,130
Um...
671
00:33:54,890 --> 00:33:56,670
If we don't hit bedrock
672
00:33:56,870 --> 00:33:59,020
that's a whole season
that we pretty much wasted.
673
00:33:59,220 --> 00:34:01,710
So we really need
to put everything in it.
674
00:34:01,910 --> 00:34:03,150
We need to move
a lot of material.
675
00:34:03,350 --> 00:34:05,510
We need to get to bedrock
so that we can hopefully
see some gold.
676
00:34:06,510 --> 00:34:07,510
[Justin grunts]
677
00:34:08,860 --> 00:34:10,130
Here's where I was.
678
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,650
[Paul on radio]
Yeah, this would be
the front edge of our...
679
00:34:14,510 --> 00:34:15,580
The hole we got going.
680
00:34:17,130 --> 00:34:18,570
Please stay with me right now.
681
00:34:18,770 --> 00:34:20,720
Got some big rocks
that came down on the bottom.
682
00:34:21,930 --> 00:34:22,980
[Justin on radio]
Stay over here and avoid
683
00:34:23,180 --> 00:34:24,580
knocking anything
in your direction.
684
00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:27,980
Despite people issues,
685
00:34:28,180 --> 00:34:30,080
we still managed to get
two divers in the water today.
686
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,120
We're still gonna
get a lot done.
687
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,460
This morning started off
really rocky,
688
00:34:34,660 --> 00:34:36,620
but we're still gonna
make the best of it.
689
00:34:48,750 --> 00:34:50,980
- [Dustin] Hey, man.
- [Scott] What's going on?
690
00:34:51,180 --> 00:34:52,440
[Dustin] So I went over
and talked to them.
691
00:34:53,820 --> 00:34:55,930
Somehow you got
irate is what I heard.
692
00:34:57,510 --> 00:35:00,260
As I was packing
my stuff up and getting
out of my waders,
693
00:35:00,460 --> 00:35:02,570
she's like, "You should've
been [bleep] fired
for that last year."
694
00:35:02,770 --> 00:35:05,270
[Dustin] Yeah,
but that doesn't
mean you're fired, so...
695
00:35:06,580 --> 00:35:09,020
Let's just calm yourself,
696
00:35:09,220 --> 00:35:11,950
and we'll see where this goes,
I don't know what to tell you.
697
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:14,360
I'd say play it cool
and try to figure out
698
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,400
how to get along
with your crew,
699
00:35:16,590 --> 00:35:18,880
and if you can't, then
you need to go home.
700
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,270
There's only two ways.
701
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:33,810
[Paul on radio]
Now we got progress.
702
00:35:34,010 --> 00:35:35,600
I'm liking this.
703
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,120
[narrator] On Nugget Creek,
704
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,410
Justin and Paul are two hours
into a double dive
705
00:35:41,620 --> 00:35:43,910
chasing a sloping bedrock wall
706
00:35:44,110 --> 00:35:46,670
in pursuit of a gold-rich
red layer.
707
00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:49,080
[Justin on radio]
Right here, I thought of
moving a big one out.
708
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,240
[indistinct]
709
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,950
[narrator] Men down,
the crew has to pull together
710
00:35:55,150 --> 00:35:58,740
or face going home
empty-handed.
711
00:35:58,940 --> 00:36:00,770
[Justin on radio]
I hit a rock.
I'm dropping one.
712
00:36:00,970 --> 00:36:02,020
[Paul on radio]
Okay, go for it.
713
00:36:02,220 --> 00:36:03,950
I'm way over here
away from you, so.
714
00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:06,150
[Justin on radio]
Copy that.
I'm against the wall.
715
00:36:06,350 --> 00:36:08,460
What if you hear
and it's right this moment?
716
00:36:08,660 --> 00:36:09,650
[Paul on radio]
Thank you.
717
00:36:11,170 --> 00:36:12,130
[Justin on radio]
Still rolling.
718
00:36:12,890 --> 00:36:14,260
[Paul on radio]
Copy that.
719
00:36:14,460 --> 00:36:16,710
Justin seems to be
doing a lot better
with communication,
720
00:36:16,910 --> 00:36:18,980
and I think the talk
with him today
really got to him,
721
00:36:19,180 --> 00:36:21,950
so it's nice to have
that breakthrough.
722
00:36:22,150 --> 00:36:24,770
And he's doing so much
better which I love seeing.
723
00:36:24,970 --> 00:36:28,080
Yesterday, I think we had
the hole about six feet.
724
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,190
We've been getting a lot
of material moved,
a lot of rocks moved,
725
00:36:31,390 --> 00:36:33,270
so I'm really happy
to see that.
726
00:36:35,580 --> 00:36:36,580
[narrator] As Paul dredges,
727
00:36:38,650 --> 00:36:42,410
Justin continues moving
rocks and boulders
out of the dive hole.
728
00:36:43,370 --> 00:36:44,130
[Justin on radio]
All right.
729
00:36:46,310 --> 00:36:47,100
Awesome.
730
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,400
Okay.
731
00:36:51,590 --> 00:36:52,960
We got a nice ridge wall.
732
00:36:58,510 --> 00:37:01,030
[Paul on radio]
Getting chilly
in[bleep] hole.
733
00:37:07,930 --> 00:37:09,960
[bleep] What
the[bleep] is going on?
734
00:37:12,030 --> 00:37:13,980
[Kayla] What's going on, Paul?
735
00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:16,570
[Paul on radio]
I'm not sure I'm getting
any water.
736
00:37:16,770 --> 00:37:19,410
- I don't think the valve
was going the entire...
- [Kayla] It's not working?
737
00:37:20,410 --> 00:37:21,790
[bleep] stuck again.
738
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:24,890
What the [bleep]?
739
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:30,240
And it gets stuck shut
and then it gets stuck open.
[bleep.]
740
00:37:31,130 --> 00:37:32,310
[Justin on radio]
Can I help him?
741
00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:36,310
- I don't know.
- [Paul on radio] I might
go ahead and call it.
742
00:37:38,860 --> 00:37:40,000
Think I'm done for the day.
743
00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:44,050
[narrator] Paul's hot water
supply failing,
744
00:37:44,250 --> 00:37:46,500
he's forced to cut
short his dive.
745
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:48,080
[Paul on radio] Damnit.
746
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,620
[narrator] The crew's success
now rests entirely on Justin.
747
00:37:54,370 --> 00:37:56,370
[Justin on radio] All right,
I'm gonna get
downstream a little.
748
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,260
I got more rocks
to lift, come on.
749
00:38:00,460 --> 00:38:02,340
- [Justin laughs]
- [Paul] He's good
for right now.
750
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,220
Definitely been some
weird gremlins today.
751
00:38:05,420 --> 00:38:07,030
[Kayla] [bleep] yeah, [bleep].
752
00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:11,500
[Paul] I did clear off some
of the backslide.
753
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:13,710
I was hoping to get
more of that done today,
754
00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:16,370
but it just wasn't
in the cards for today.
755
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,290
[Kayla] On a positive note,
756
00:38:20,490 --> 00:38:23,000
- Justin's been going
pretty good today.
- He has, hasn't he?
757
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,500
I mean, Justin,
he's definitely stepped
it up today
758
00:38:26,700 --> 00:38:29,020
as far as his
communications go.
759
00:38:29,220 --> 00:38:31,600
- [Kayla] It's a big
improvement from yesterday.
- [Paul] Yeah.
760
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,510
[Paul] Yeah.
761
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:37,410
- [Justin on radio]
That's ready to go.
- [Paul] Okay.
762
00:38:39,130 --> 00:38:42,020
[Justin on radio] After that,
I got one to choke.
763
00:38:42,220 --> 00:38:44,130
[Paul on radio]
Okay, choker's over here,
I'll get it to you.
764
00:38:45,310 --> 00:38:46,220
[Justin on radio]
Thank you.
765
00:38:46,420 --> 00:38:47,130
All right.
766
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,000
Take it away.
767
00:38:54,890 --> 00:38:56,000
[Paul] Nice rocks.
768
00:38:56,930 --> 00:38:57,720
[Justin on radio]
Got it.
769
00:38:59,820 --> 00:39:01,620
Holy moly, you guys.
770
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,600
We're making a hole.
771
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,670
[narrator] After five
hours in the water...
772
00:39:05,870 --> 00:39:07,100
[Justin on radio]
Yeah, I hit seven foot.
773
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:12,810
[narrator] Justin has taken
them a foot closer
to pay dirt,
774
00:39:13,010 --> 00:39:15,000
salvaging their week
from ruin.
775
00:39:16,030 --> 00:39:18,060
[Paul] He's definitely
kicking ass, man.
776
00:39:19,130 --> 00:39:20,480
[Kayla on radio]
Hey, Justin, you hear me?
777
00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:22,650
[Justin on radio]
I can hear you.
778
00:39:24,750 --> 00:39:27,440
[Kayla] I think we're gonna
call it for the day
if you want to come up.
779
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,240
[Justin] Okay.
780
00:39:33,790 --> 00:39:34,580
[Kayla] Go ahead.
781
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,440
- Did a good job today.
- Thank you.
782
00:39:38,410 --> 00:39:39,710
- [Justin] I talk more?
- [Kayla] Yes.
783
00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:42,460
You did way better.
Thank you.
784
00:39:42,660 --> 00:39:44,980
I'm trying to learn,
sorry I was so slow.
785
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:47,050
[Kayla] That was
a huge improvement.
786
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:47,960
So thank you.
787
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,290
Good job.
788
00:39:53,490 --> 00:39:55,120
I wasn't planning
on diving today,
789
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,910
my rotation was yesterday,
790
00:39:57,110 --> 00:39:59,220
but situation's occurred
791
00:39:59,420 --> 00:40:01,670
and it ended up being
more effective for Kayla
792
00:40:01,870 --> 00:40:03,620
to attend for both Paul and I.
793
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:05,880
But what you did today
794
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,740
is what I've been
trying to get you
to do the whole time.
795
00:40:07,940 --> 00:40:09,330
[Justin] Sorry
it took so long.
796
00:40:09,530 --> 00:40:11,360
So if we could just
stay on that track,
797
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,440
it'd be perfect.
798
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:16,500
Nothing yet?
799
00:40:16,700 --> 00:40:18,530
- Nothing.
- [Kayla] Okay.
800
00:40:18,730 --> 00:40:21,400
[Justin] I got a lot moved
today, that felt good.
801
00:40:21,590 --> 00:40:23,740
Despite having a really
bad start to the day,
802
00:40:23,940 --> 00:40:26,950
um, and being down
on a crew member,
803
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:30,080
we still managed to get a good
amount of material moved.
804
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:31,880
To see Justin step up
805
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,600
and actually
improve like that,
806
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,020
that much improvement
in one day was a huge relief.
807
00:40:37,220 --> 00:40:39,410
So we're not gonna let
people issue stop us.
808
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:42,840
We aren't quitters.
We're not gonna give up.
809
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,430
Hopefully we see some
really good gold
810
00:40:44,630 --> 00:40:45,720
for all the effort
we're putting in.
811
00:40:51,790 --> 00:40:52,740
[James on radio]
It's looking good.
812
00:40:52,940 --> 00:40:54,570
[narrator]
Down at Dustin's site...
813
00:40:54,770 --> 00:40:57,400
[James on radio]
Starting to look
really good, my friend.
814
00:40:57,590 --> 00:40:59,980
[narrator]
...James is three hours
into his first dive
815
00:41:00,180 --> 00:41:04,190
in the looming shadow
of a 50-ton boulder.
816
00:41:04,390 --> 00:41:06,530
[James on radio]
I've gotta come back
over and clean this.
817
00:41:06,730 --> 00:41:10,220
[narrator] Somewhere below him
is the promised red hard pack,
818
00:41:10,420 --> 00:41:12,000
and a monster payday.
819
00:41:14,410 --> 00:41:15,890
[James on radio]
Looks like beautiful weather.
820
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,570
[Dustin] I'm pretty sure
you're the warmest.
821
00:41:20,770 --> 00:41:23,170
[James on radio]
Oh, I'm overheating.
I'm sweating in my mask.
822
00:41:25,270 --> 00:41:27,000
[Dustin] Yeah, I don't
have that problem right now.
823
00:41:29,790 --> 00:41:31,330
[Carlos] Why can't dredging
ever be easy?
824
00:41:31,530 --> 00:41:33,640
Why can't we just
dredge in The Bahamas?
825
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:34,930
Or Hawaii?
826
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,270
Or...
827
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,440
Somewhere nice
and warm, you know?
828
00:41:49,790 --> 00:41:51,460
Tell us what you're down
there doing, man.
829
00:41:51,660 --> 00:41:53,170
- How's it looking?
- [James grunts]
830
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,370
[James on radio]
It's just, uh...
831
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,440
This is really hard to dig.
832
00:41:59,410 --> 00:42:00,680
Like really hard to dig.
833
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,670
[Carlos on radio]
Seeing any color, man?
834
00:42:05,870 --> 00:42:08,670
[James on radio]
Nah, I'm just
dredging like crazy.
835
00:42:08,870 --> 00:42:10,960
Already trying as hard
as I can
836
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:13,130
to get us down to bedrock.
837
00:42:14,510 --> 00:42:15,740
[Carlos on radio] All right,
take your time, man.
838
00:42:15,940 --> 00:42:17,640
I mean, you know,
pace yourself, brother.
839
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,960
Remember it's a marathon,
not a sprint.
840
00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:29,740
[James on radio]
Running into orange rocks.
841
00:42:29,940 --> 00:42:32,500
[Dustin on radio]
Do you think you made it down
to the rust layer finally?
842
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:33,980
[James on radio]
I think so.
843
00:42:34,180 --> 00:42:35,980
[Dustin on radio]
Yep, dredge water starting
to turn orange.
844
00:42:36,180 --> 00:42:37,190
[James grunts]
845
00:42:37,390 --> 00:42:39,810
[Carlos] Oh, yeah! Whoo-hoo!
846
00:42:40,010 --> 00:42:41,460
[Dustin] Look how orange
that stuff is.
847
00:42:41,660 --> 00:42:44,430
- [Carlos] I know, dude. It's
like one of those riddles.
- [Dustin] Look at it.
848
00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:47,330
When the water bleeds,
you're so close to gold.
849
00:42:47,530 --> 00:42:48,790
[others laugh]
850
00:42:50,370 --> 00:42:52,530
[narrator] It's taken
three months
851
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:55,570
of blood, sweat, and tears,
852
00:42:55,770 --> 00:42:59,950
but James has finally
gotten the crew down
to the red layer
853
00:43:00,150 --> 00:43:03,460
that legend says
is rich in gold.
854
00:43:03,660 --> 00:43:06,340
[James on radio]
All right, frickin' tired.
855
00:43:09,580 --> 00:43:10,370
See what we got.
856
00:43:14,270 --> 00:43:15,410
All right, I'm done.
857
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,000
[Dustin] Good dive.
858
00:43:22,030 --> 00:43:22,910
Thank you.
859
00:43:23,110 --> 00:43:24,650
Look like you made
some real progress though.
860
00:43:25,370 --> 00:43:26,600
[Carlos] Good job, James.
861
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,460
- [James] Hey, man.
- [Carlos] I'm really,
really excited, man,
862
00:43:28,660 --> 00:43:29,620
to see what's in the box.
863
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:31,890
[James] How's it look?
864
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,460
Dirts, probably some.
Maybe some fine but it could
be covered up too.
865
00:43:36,660 --> 00:43:38,530
[Dustin] Yeah.
866
00:43:38,730 --> 00:43:41,020
I mean, we're starting
to get a little bit
of orange come over.
867
00:43:41,220 --> 00:43:43,150
Just sporadically.
868
00:43:43,350 --> 00:43:45,460
We gotta be getting
close to it.
869
00:43:45,660 --> 00:43:48,310
[bleep] Though for sure
we was gonna get
some color today.
870
00:43:51,930 --> 00:43:53,570
We had a good dive.
871
00:43:53,770 --> 00:43:55,620
I'm not gonna lie,
I expected a lot of gold.
872
00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:05,440
The way he was digging,
where he was digging...
873
00:44:07,790 --> 00:44:08,930
Got it in my had that...
874
00:44:13,310 --> 00:44:14,060
Here we have it.
875
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:15,890
We'll see.
876
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,550
Just keep diving,
see what happens.
877
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,640
[Scott] Been up since
3 o'clock this morning.
878
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,530
I don't want to cause issues
879
00:44:32,730 --> 00:44:34,020
with the rest of the crew
and everything.
880
00:44:34,220 --> 00:44:35,550
- [Dustin] Okay.
- Just...
881
00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:40,400
I think it's time
for me to go.
882
00:44:40,590 --> 00:44:41,890
[Dustin] Well, I understand.
883
00:44:43,620 --> 00:44:45,740
I think you're making
a bad choice.
884
00:44:45,940 --> 00:44:47,930
Some things in life
you regret more than others.
885
00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:49,620
Maybe not this week,
886
00:44:50,310 --> 00:44:51,770
maybe not next week.
887
00:44:51,970 --> 00:44:53,740
[Scott] It's the hardest
decision I've ever
had to make.
888
00:44:53,940 --> 00:44:55,100
If you don't mind,
I'll tell everybody.
889
00:45:02,650 --> 00:45:04,440
So, y'all, it's time
for me to go.
890
00:45:05,620 --> 00:45:06,410
Time for me to go home.
891
00:45:13,620 --> 00:45:14,960
Right, wrong,
or indifferent.
892
00:45:15,930 --> 00:45:17,880
I made a decision.
893
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,200
With all due respect, I think
you're gonna hate yourself,
man, in another month.
894
00:45:23,890 --> 00:45:26,030
Please, man, you jumped
the gun on that one.
895
00:45:28,820 --> 00:45:30,270
[James] Yeah, Scott,
don't do that, dude.
896
00:45:32,620 --> 00:45:33,410
It's time for me to call it.
897
00:45:34,510 --> 00:45:36,120
Wish you all
the absolute best.
898
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:37,000
Yeah, I'm sorry, man.
899
00:45:38,750 --> 00:45:39,750
A pleasure working with you.
900
00:45:41,410 --> 00:45:42,220
Bring it in.
901
00:45:42,420 --> 00:45:43,360
Best wishes.
902
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:44,270
Stick around, dude.
903
00:45:46,820 --> 00:45:47,860
All right, man.
904
00:45:50,060 --> 00:45:52,030
- Thanks for everything,
brother.
- Yeah.
905
00:45:54,510 --> 00:45:55,310
[exhales]
906
00:45:56,890 --> 00:45:59,200
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- [Scott speaks indistinctly]
907
00:46:04,860 --> 00:46:06,000
Good luck. Good luck, brother.
908
00:46:08,860 --> 00:46:10,480
You've come a long way, man.
909
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:12,860
It's time for me to go.
910
00:46:17,340 --> 00:46:18,820
- Stay safe.
- I wish you good luck.
911
00:46:23,550 --> 00:46:25,200
[Scott crying]
912
00:46:26,930 --> 00:46:29,150
[Dustin] We all make our own
choices to be here,
913
00:46:29,350 --> 00:46:31,400
- So that's very true.
- Yep.
914
00:46:31,590 --> 00:46:33,880
It's not easy for any
of us to be here.
915
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,120
- So you have to make
your choice and that's his.
- [James] Yeah.
916
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,190
This is hard damn work.
917
00:46:39,390 --> 00:46:40,750
You gotta be away
from your people.
918
00:46:42,410 --> 00:46:43,200
We all know it.
919
00:46:44,750 --> 00:46:46,720
It kills me because I love
it up here so much.
920
00:46:47,620 --> 00:46:50,670
I love this group of guys
like family.
921
00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:52,960
But I got a family back home
that I need to go back to.
922
00:46:57,410 --> 00:46:58,200
It's time.
923
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:00,960
It's just time.
924
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:04,000
[sighs]
925
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,150
Scott played a huge role
926
00:47:09,350 --> 00:47:12,150
in overcoming a lot
of the challenges
that we faced this year,
927
00:47:12,350 --> 00:47:14,840
and I hate to see him leave
this close to the end,
928
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,080
and him not to get
to finish it out with us,
929
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,860
but if his heart isn't
in this, that's his choice.
930
00:47:25,060 --> 00:47:27,950
We're not gonna let
it stop us, we're still
gonna push forward.
931
00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:30,240
We're gonna do what we have
to do to get a lot of gold.
932
00:47:34,130 --> 00:47:36,890
[narrator]
On the nextGold Rush:
White Water...
933
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,480
Find us some gold.
934
00:47:39,340 --> 00:47:40,170
Really need it.
935
00:47:40,930 --> 00:47:41,720
Right now.
936
00:47:43,310 --> 00:47:44,600
Hell yeah!
937
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,050
Every time we make
a little bit of progress,
it gets wiped away.
938
00:47:47,250 --> 00:47:48,170
[bleep]
939
00:47:49,820 --> 00:47:52,430
- [Kayla] Justin.
- Just ripped in half.
940
00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:54,000
[man on radio]
We should just abandon this.
941
00:47:55,030 --> 00:47:56,600
We gotta push it
to the limits now.
942
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,460
- [Dustin]
I'm seeing gold, guys.
- [Paul] [bleep] yeah!
943
00:47:59,660 --> 00:48:02,810
- [whoops]
- Oh, [bleep] yeah!
944
00:48:03,010 --> 00:48:03,950
I can see it!
945
00:48:04,150 --> 00:48:06,360
- We got gold!
- [all cheer]
946
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,030
Yeah [bleep] right, man!
