[water gushing]
3
00:00:09,477 --> 00:00:10,809
[scott]
my biggest disappointment
4
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:12,544
Is that I thought
I had earned that trust.
5
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:13,946
I really did.
6
00:00:13,981 --> 00:00:15,748
It's kind of a rule
in gold mining
7
00:00:15,783 --> 00:00:16,982
That you don't do that.
8
00:00:17,018 --> 00:00:20,619
[ominous music playing]

00:00:20,654 --> 00:00:22,788
[paul c]
in southeast alaska...
10
00:00:26,227 --> 00:00:28,227
Nothing of you...
[bleep] pisses me off
11
00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:30,763
Than whathe just [bleep] did.
12
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:34,967
[paul c] ...After four months
digging deep,
13
00:00:35,002 --> 00:00:38,537
And barely any gold
to show for their efforts,
14
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:43,008
Fred hurt's crew
is in crisis.
15
00:00:43,044 --> 00:00:45,077
[paul r] I mean, gold,
makes everybody act different.
16
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:47,346
People have gotten killed
17
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:49,381
Over a [bleep] nugget.
18
00:00:49,417 --> 00:00:51,316
-[man] lots of people.
-Lots of people.
19
00:00:51,352 --> 00:00:52,551
[man] it's gold, man.
Gold is...
20
00:00:52,586 --> 00:00:54,119
Gold is strange,
and it does
21
00:00:54,155 --> 00:00:55,587
-Strange things to people.
-[man] it does.
22
00:00:55,623 --> 00:00:57,156
-It really does
-unexplainable things.
23
00:00:57,191 --> 00:00:59,792
I don't know, but...
24
00:00:59,827 --> 00:01:01,894
I do not take kindly
if somebody calling me
25
00:01:01,929 --> 00:01:02,895
A [bleep] thief.
26
00:01:04,532 --> 00:01:06,465
[fred] he's [bleep]
got gold fever,
27
00:01:06,534 --> 00:01:08,233
And I'm telling you,
28
00:01:08,269 --> 00:01:11,637
Gold will make
an honest person...
29
00:01:11,672 --> 00:01:13,572
Dishonest.
30
00:01:13,607 --> 00:01:16,842
[suspenseful music playing]
31
00:01:16,877 --> 00:01:18,710
[dustin]
there's a huge gold catch.
32
00:01:18,746 --> 00:01:19,812
[carlos] no.
33
00:01:19,847 --> 00:01:21,180
Come on. No way.
34
00:01:22,383 --> 00:01:23,949
[dustin] we deserve success
35
00:01:23,984 --> 00:01:25,617
Because we're too stubborn
to quit.
36
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:27,920
I don't know
what you're accusing me of.
37
00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:29,354
Will you shut the [bleep] up?
38
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:31,156
You know what the rules were.
39
00:01:31,192 --> 00:01:34,827
[suspenseful music playing]
40
00:01:34,862 --> 00:01:37,396
[fred]
this is serious danger.
41
00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:39,965
It's the stuff nightmares
are made out of.
42
00:01:41,135 --> 00:01:42,835
-[man] ow.
-[man] oh.
43
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:44,336
You get him the [bleep]
out of there.
44
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:46,505
He's [bleep] shivering,
I can hear him.
45
00:01:46,507 --> 00:01:49,007
[suspenseful music playing]
46
00:01:49,043 --> 00:01:51,276
[paul r]
that's a nice piece, damn.
47
00:01:51,312 --> 00:01:53,979
[fred] [laughs] that's nice.
48
00:01:54,014 --> 00:01:55,314
[dustin] I have a nugget.
49
00:01:55,349 --> 00:01:57,483
-[laughs]
-[man] that's gold.
50
00:01:57,518 --> 00:01:58,951
[man] that's definitely
a big nugget.
51
00:01:58,986 --> 00:02:00,319
[man] good job, man.
52
00:02:06,694 --> 00:02:09,728
[ominous music playing]
53
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:14,099
[water gushing]
54
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:24,076
[carlos] hey, james,
you're ready to rock and roll?
55
00:02:24,111 --> 00:02:25,677
-[james] are you ready?
-[carlos] oh, yeah.
56
00:02:25,713 --> 00:02:27,279
Let's get the dredge
started [indistinct]
57
00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:28,380
All right.
58
00:02:28,415 --> 00:02:30,782
[engine revving]
59
00:02:30,818 --> 00:02:32,184
Awesome.
60
00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:35,554
We're ready to rock and roll.
61
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:38,190
[dustin]
we fought tooth and nail
62
00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:40,025
To get where we're at
right now.
63
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:42,494
I think there's a bunch
of gold in this chute,
64
00:02:42,530 --> 00:02:44,096
And we deserve success
65
00:02:44,131 --> 00:02:46,365
Because we're too stubborn
to quit.
66
00:02:47,535 --> 00:02:50,102
[paul c] a month left
before the alaskan winter
67
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:51,537
Freezes them out,
68
00:02:53,574 --> 00:02:55,908
Dustin hurt's crew
is taking everything
69
00:02:55,943 --> 00:02:58,510
On their new dive site,
"the chute",
70
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:02,281
At the top
of rockfall ravine.
71
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:05,684
It's getting cold, man.
72
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:07,786
[sniffs] like really cold.
73
00:03:07,821 --> 00:03:09,254
[carlos] no such thing
as bad weather,
74
00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:10,656
Just bad wardrobe.
75
00:03:11,625 --> 00:03:13,091
[paul c]
it's produced a little gold
76
00:03:13,127 --> 00:03:15,093
On almost every dive.
77
00:03:17,131 --> 00:03:18,497
[dustin] let's go diving.
78
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:20,599
[paul c]
dustin's mission today
79
00:03:20,634 --> 00:03:24,536
Is to prove that it contains
the gold catch they need
80
00:03:24,572 --> 00:03:27,072
To finish their season
strong.
81
00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:29,074
[carlos] hello? 1-1-1-1. Can
you hear me?
82
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:30,809
-Can you hear me?
-[dustin] I can hear you.
83
00:03:30,844 --> 00:03:32,411
-Ready when you're up.
-[carlos] yeah.
84
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:35,013
-There's a [indistinct]
-[dustin laughs]
85
00:03:35,049 --> 00:03:36,882
-[carlos] diver in.
-[dustin] diver in.
86
00:03:36,917 --> 00:03:38,317
[static sound]
87
00:03:38,352 --> 00:03:40,018
[dustin] ooh, that's cold.
88
00:03:40,054 --> 00:03:41,520
-Let me get warmed up.
-[carlos] yup, yup.
89
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:42,588
Get warmed up.
90
00:03:42,623 --> 00:03:44,289
[water gushing]
91
00:03:49,296 --> 00:03:53,465
[carlos] "the chute"
is a big natural sluice box.
92
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:55,267
Look at it.
93
00:03:55,302 --> 00:03:58,070
Coming down, water,
94
00:03:58,105 --> 00:04:00,038
Straight, going crazy,
95
00:04:00,074 --> 00:04:02,474
And it ripples on the bottom.
96
00:04:02,509 --> 00:04:04,309
Lots of gold catches. Look,
97
00:04:04,345 --> 00:04:06,044
You see the sluice box?
98
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,580
This is "the chute."
99
00:04:09,883 --> 00:04:11,817
A freaking like, a hundred...
100
00:04:11,852 --> 00:04:14,353
Five hundred times bigger.
101
00:04:14,388 --> 00:04:16,788
[dustin] so what we're
looking for is bedrock.
102
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:20,459
That's gonna be it.
Outside of that,
103
00:04:20,494 --> 00:04:22,327
You know,
it can be much gold.
104
00:04:25,966 --> 00:04:27,599
[paul c] to deliver
the gold they need
105
00:04:27,635 --> 00:04:29,668
To add to their record haul,
106
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:32,738
The crew hopes
this narrow chute
107
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:36,141
Will contain a deep layer
of gravel and rocks.
108
00:04:38,545 --> 00:04:42,281
Once they reached the bedrock
where the gold lies,
109
00:04:42,316 --> 00:04:43,949
Any fracture at the bottom
110
00:04:43,984 --> 00:04:46,718
Could have trapped
a fortune in gold.
111
00:04:50,658 --> 00:04:53,759
[carlos] how much you bet
we got gold in there, james?
112
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:56,395
How much you wanna bet we got
gold in there right now?
113
00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:57,763
I hope so.
114
00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:02,134
[dustin] I got a lot dug
already, man.
115
00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:03,568
-[carlos] yeah.
-[dustin] [bleep]
116
00:05:03,604 --> 00:05:07,205
Dig so [bleep] easy.
117
00:05:07,207 --> 00:05:10,809
I mean, everything moves
when you grab it pretty much.
118
00:05:10,844 --> 00:05:13,512
Different material
right here on this.
119
00:05:13,547 --> 00:05:15,113
Well, whatever
you're getting into, man,
120
00:05:15,149 --> 00:05:16,682
It's dirtying up the water.
121
00:05:22,456 --> 00:05:24,823
[dustin] whoa, did we land
on this [indistinct]
122
00:05:26,126 --> 00:05:27,559
It's bedrock.
123
00:05:29,063 --> 00:05:30,429
[carlos] you see that?
124
00:05:30,464 --> 00:05:32,230
-Gold, gold, gold.
-[laughs]
125
00:05:32,266 --> 00:05:34,032
[paul c]
for the last four weeks,
126
00:05:34,068 --> 00:05:36,802
The crew has battled
the most violent white water
127
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:38,637
They've ever faced,
128
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:42,140
And they finally reached
the bedrock and its riches.
129
00:05:42,176 --> 00:05:43,942
[dustin] [indistinct]
130
00:05:43,977 --> 00:05:45,811
[carlos] little nugget,
now to pay for all the gas
131
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:47,346
That we put into this dig,
132
00:05:47,381 --> 00:05:48,880
Then, we can make profit
after that.
133
00:05:48,916 --> 00:05:50,649
That's awesome.
134
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:52,951
[man] we're gonna be seeing
some serious gold.
135
00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:56,154
[man] this could be better
with anything
136
00:05:56,190 --> 00:05:57,589
We've ever dug before.
137
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:01,827
[wes] all gold wants to do
is go to the deepest spot
138
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:03,228
On the bedrock,
139
00:06:03,263 --> 00:06:05,364
So it's gonna be
a huge payday.
140
00:06:06,633 --> 00:06:08,934
[dustin] what the [bleep]
is going on here?
141
00:06:10,504 --> 00:06:12,104
[carlos] yo, what happened?
142
00:06:12,139 --> 00:06:14,506
[dustin] slipped off bedrock
right here.
143
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:16,908
Oh, come on. No way.
144
00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:18,610
[man] [indistinct] [bleep]
145
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:23,448
[paul c] clearing the bedrock
reveals a smooth surface
146
00:06:25,686 --> 00:06:28,286
Where there's no place
for gold to settle.
147
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:33,058
[carlos]
do you see any kind of gold?
148
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,327
-[dustin] nothing.
-[carlos] nothing?
149
00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:38,397
[dustin] I just don't get
what's going on.
150
00:06:40,534 --> 00:06:44,269
What we're looking for
is huge cracks in the bedrock
151
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:46,171
But there's nothing.
152
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:47,739
There's a huge gold catch,
153
00:06:47,775 --> 00:06:49,374
But there's no gold in it.
154
00:06:49,410 --> 00:06:51,743
It just don't make no sense,
man. This whole...
155
00:06:51,779 --> 00:06:54,146
This whole chute
is like a giant sluice box.
156
00:06:54,181 --> 00:06:55,914
-[dustin] I know.
-[carlos] it just don't make
157
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:57,315
No sense.
158
00:06:57,351 --> 00:06:59,317
[dustin]
I don't know what to say.
159
00:06:59,353 --> 00:07:01,086
I'm not seeing anything.
160
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:04,122
Very depressing.
161
00:07:05,692 --> 00:07:08,560
[dustin] that's right.
[indistinct]
162
00:07:10,330 --> 00:07:12,464
[carlos] we're not seeing
no sign of gold
163
00:07:12,499 --> 00:07:14,166
In the bedrock, whatsoever.
164
00:07:15,369 --> 00:07:17,135
What's going on?
165
00:07:17,171 --> 00:07:18,537
Is the water going too fast?
166
00:07:18,572 --> 00:07:20,172
Usually if we have water
going too fast
167
00:07:20,207 --> 00:07:21,573
On the sluice box,
168
00:07:21,608 --> 00:07:23,542
The gold gets washed out.
169
00:07:23,577 --> 00:07:25,010
I don't know.
170
00:07:25,045 --> 00:07:27,379
I'm feeling
further upstream we go,
171
00:07:27,414 --> 00:07:28,980
The more gold
we're gonna find.
172
00:07:29,016 --> 00:07:31,650
[suspenseful music playing]
173
00:07:36,089 --> 00:07:37,656
[sighs]
174
00:07:38,892 --> 00:07:40,091
How's it look?
175
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:41,693
[wes] nothing.
176
00:07:42,763 --> 00:07:44,229
Pretty disappointing.
177
00:07:44,264 --> 00:07:46,164
[water gushing]
178
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,599
[carlos]
there's gold in there, man.
179
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:48,834
There's gold in there.
180
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:50,469
Guarantee it, man.
181
00:07:50,504 --> 00:07:51,903
-[dustin] where?
-In that chute, man.
182
00:07:51,939 --> 00:07:53,271
[dustin]
where would you find it?
183
00:07:53,307 --> 00:07:55,307
The entire downstream side
is clean.
184
00:07:55,342 --> 00:07:56,942
[carlos] there's hope, man.
185
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:58,376
-I guarantee it, man.
-[dustin] you think so?
186
00:07:58,412 --> 00:07:59,978
[carlos] the further
we go upstream,
187
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:01,646
-Trust me, man. Trust me.
-[dustin] okay. Trust you.
188
00:08:01,682 --> 00:08:03,448
I'm not a gold guy,
but I just...
189
00:08:03,484 --> 00:08:05,884
I have a feeling there's gonna
be gold in there, man.
190
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:08,286
It's the only way
you're gonna get any gold
191
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:10,121
Out of this
is if there's a crack
192
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:12,824
-Or a big, big catch.
-Yeah.
193
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:14,493
That really stops water,
194
00:08:14,528 --> 00:08:16,161
All you're gonna get
out of this thing.
195
00:08:16,196 --> 00:08:18,563
You guys wanted to dig it,
you're digging it now.
196
00:08:18,599 --> 00:08:20,265
That's it.
197
00:08:20,334 --> 00:08:23,502
[paul c] time is running out
on their season.
198
00:08:23,537 --> 00:08:26,171
Dustin has no choice
but to gamble
199
00:08:26,206 --> 00:08:29,341
His remaining weeks
on a long shot.
200
00:08:30,744 --> 00:08:32,944
[dustin] could be wrong.
I love to be wrong
201
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:35,213
About this stuff. But...
We're gonna keep digging it
202
00:08:35,249 --> 00:08:37,849
Because now we're [bleep]
we're committed,
203
00:08:37,885 --> 00:08:39,684
And we don't leave [bleep]
half-done.
204
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,755
[rock music playing]
205
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:54,900
[fred] like, the guys
kind of just gather around.
206
00:08:56,303 --> 00:08:59,170
This is to give you an idea
207
00:08:59,206 --> 00:09:01,540
Of just how deep you are
in this water.
208
00:09:02,943 --> 00:09:06,411
Where the red tape
is 18 feet deep.
209
00:09:06,446 --> 00:09:08,947
Just like this cliff
right here?
210
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:11,182
That's what's on the side
of you, right here.
211
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:12,951
Yeah. I mean, that pole...
212
00:09:12,986 --> 00:09:15,153
It really puts it
into perspective.
213
00:09:16,557 --> 00:09:19,591
[paul c] just weeks remaining
in their troubled season,
214
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:24,729
Fred hurt's just two feet
from what he believes
215
00:09:24,765 --> 00:09:27,432
Will be a landmark gold find.
216
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:31,136
We're really close
to the bottom.
217
00:09:31,171 --> 00:09:33,438
Somewhere down there
is a pile of gold
218
00:09:33,473 --> 00:09:35,407
That could change
all our lives.
219
00:09:35,442 --> 00:09:39,411
But we have to make sure
the hole is safe.
220
00:09:39,446 --> 00:09:41,613
[paul c]
but to reach the bonanza,
221
00:09:41,648 --> 00:09:44,416
The crew must put their lives
on the line,
222
00:09:44,451 --> 00:09:46,084
Diving deep.
223
00:09:47,454 --> 00:09:50,255
[fred] this is absolute
serious danger.
224
00:09:50,290 --> 00:09:52,691
It's the stuff
nightmares are made out of.
225
00:09:52,726 --> 00:09:55,727
[ominous music playing]
226
00:09:56,997 --> 00:09:59,264
[fred] all right.
We're getting stirred up.
227
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:04,736
[ominous music playing]
228
00:10:05,806 --> 00:10:08,073
[engine revving]
229
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:09,774
[fred] scott is diving today,
230
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:12,510
To try and like help to prove
there is gold
231
00:10:12,546 --> 00:10:15,080
Down in the bottom
of this creek right here.
232
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:17,015
We hope there's lots of gold.
233
00:10:17,985 --> 00:10:21,219
Wow. Chilly.
234
00:10:21,254 --> 00:10:22,988
[paul r] so, we're gonna
be able to see scott
235
00:10:23,023 --> 00:10:24,289
And everything
he's doing today.
236
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:26,024
[man] yeah, we will.
237
00:10:26,059 --> 00:10:27,392
[paul r]
it's starting to freeze
238
00:10:27,427 --> 00:10:28,860
Further up the mountain,
which is slowing
239
00:10:28,895 --> 00:10:30,228
The glacier down,
240
00:10:30,263 --> 00:10:31,630
And it's just...
It's just giving us
241
00:10:31,665 --> 00:10:33,632
Some amazing clarity
right now.
242
00:10:33,667 --> 00:10:36,468
[paul c]
late September in alaska,
243
00:10:36,503 --> 00:10:39,671
The freezing temperatures
on top of the mountain,
244
00:10:39,706 --> 00:10:42,707
Meaning the glacier
is no longer melting,
245
00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:45,677
So the calmer water
down in the creek
246
00:10:45,712 --> 00:10:47,379
Is crystal clear.
247
00:10:48,682 --> 00:10:50,048
You know with that visibility,
248
00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:51,416
You ain't gonna get away
with anything.
249
00:10:51,451 --> 00:10:52,717
If you're down there
take a nap
250
00:10:52,753 --> 00:10:54,819
We're gonna notice you.
[laughs]
251
00:10:56,023 --> 00:10:57,789
[paul c] the diver rotation
252
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:59,924
Means the burden
of reaching bedrock
253
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,494
Falls on newest recruit,
scott.
254
00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:05,764
[scott] we have got to be
close to bedrock now.
255
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:08,099
I'mma make sure
we hit bedrock today.
256
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:10,368
[man]
good luck down there, scott.
257
00:11:10,404 --> 00:11:13,171
-[scott] rock and roll, boys.
-[paul r] give them hell.
258
00:11:14,941 --> 00:11:17,976
[ominous music playing]
259
00:11:41,301 --> 00:11:42,767
[man] how much visibility
260
00:11:42,803 --> 00:11:44,703
You got the bottom
of the hole?
261
00:11:44,738 --> 00:11:46,371
[scott] right into the hole,
man, you can see everything.
262
00:11:47,474 --> 00:11:49,941
This is definitely
a different experience.
263
00:11:49,976 --> 00:11:51,476
[man] yup.
264
00:11:51,511 --> 00:11:52,711
There we go.
265
00:11:56,917 --> 00:11:58,683
You all right?
266
00:11:58,719 --> 00:11:59,884
[scott]
I'm being [indistinct]
267
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,152
-[man] all right.
-[scott] [indistinct]
268
00:12:01,188 --> 00:12:03,021
Material.
269
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:05,890
Kind of just working my way
down little by little.
270
00:12:05,926 --> 00:12:07,292
[man] all right.
271
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:10,595
[scott]
I'm heading straight down.
272
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:13,164
This is down deeper
273
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,034
[indistinct] gold, man,
I'mma hit it.
274
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:18,169
[paul c] scott is tunneling
straight down
275
00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:19,938
Towards the bedrock.
276
00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:23,341
[scott] a lot of [indistinct]
dredge holes.
277
00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:25,677
[fred]
I think, you're ready to, uh,
278
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:27,345
Do a little bit
of back to work.
279
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:29,447
[paul r] all right.
[indistinct] is coming down.
280
00:12:29,483 --> 00:12:31,483
[scott]
copy that. Bring it on.
281
00:12:35,789 --> 00:12:37,188
[bleep] oh,
check this visibility.
282
00:12:37,224 --> 00:12:38,456
It's incredible.
I can see it.
283
00:12:38,492 --> 00:12:40,258
Hell, I can see the surface.
284
00:12:40,293 --> 00:12:41,860
[paul r] might be
the nicest day of the year
285
00:12:41,895 --> 00:12:43,595
To dive there, scott.
286
00:12:43,630 --> 00:12:45,530
[indistinct] having
that kind of clarity.
287
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:47,265
The water is so clear
right now,
288
00:12:47,334 --> 00:12:50,769
I can literally see the diver
in 18 feet down here.
289
00:12:53,106 --> 00:12:55,073
[scott] you know, this is a
[indistinct] cool light,
290
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,575
But I can kind of want
to dredge for gold in alaska.
291
00:12:59,179 --> 00:13:00,912
-Gosh, that's full.
-[paul r] all right.
292
00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:02,180
It's coming up.
293
00:13:02,215 --> 00:13:03,848
[paul c] scott's on a high
294
00:13:03,884 --> 00:13:05,917
After making good progress.
295
00:13:07,621 --> 00:13:09,354
[paul r] if it's cold enough,
I'm hanging on it.
296
00:13:09,389 --> 00:13:11,923
Yeah. Right underneath it.
We're all...
297
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:13,825
Don't ever do that.
298
00:13:13,860 --> 00:13:16,027
Do not do that.
299
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:21,132
[paul c] after 30 years
as a construction boss,
300
00:13:21,168 --> 00:13:23,434
Dakota fred won't compromise
301
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:26,271
On the rules in staying safe.
302
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:29,240
[paul r] what if something
breaks on that thing.
303
00:13:29,276 --> 00:13:31,209
Don't ever get underneath
that damn thing.
304
00:13:31,244 --> 00:13:33,545
[scott] [indistinct]
305
00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:36,548
[paul r] scott, just remember
[indistinct] perimeter.
306
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:39,017
[fred] make sure there wasn't
any big rocks fall in.
307
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:41,986
[scott] oh, I [indistinct]
308
00:13:42,022 --> 00:13:43,855
I'm still cold
for hitting the bedrock.
309
00:13:43,890 --> 00:13:45,390
I can feel it.
310
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:47,025
[fred] I don't know
what's going on.
311
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:49,060
The faster to do it,
it doesn't appear
312
00:13:49,095 --> 00:13:51,729
To be working
on the perimeter.
313
00:13:51,765 --> 00:13:55,266
I'm not sure
that scott has the awareness
314
00:13:55,302 --> 00:13:56,668
Of the dangers.
315
00:13:56,703 --> 00:13:58,703
I've got to think
of everything I can
316
00:13:58,738 --> 00:14:01,005
Do to keep the divers safe.
317
00:14:02,108 --> 00:14:05,410
But the diver himself
is the one ultimately
318
00:14:05,445 --> 00:14:07,445
That has to keep himself safe.
319
00:14:11,451 --> 00:14:13,184
[scott] I'm going down
just a little bit.
320
00:14:14,821 --> 00:14:18,089
[fred] look, scott,
uh, slow down.
321
00:14:18,124 --> 00:14:20,625
Think about it for a second,
all right?
322
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:24,329
-[scott] ow.
-What the hell happened?
323
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:25,964
What happened?
324
00:14:29,736 --> 00:14:33,771
[ominous music playing]
325
00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:45,483
[fred]
look, scott, uh, slow down.
326
00:14:46,887 --> 00:14:49,053
Think about it
for a second, all right?
327
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:50,755
[paul c] fred hurt's crew
328
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:53,224
Is less than two feet
from the bedrock.
329
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:56,094
Their newest crew member,
scott,
330
00:14:56,129 --> 00:14:58,429
Is in a hurry
to hit the gold.
331
00:15:02,636 --> 00:15:03,835
[scott] ow.
332
00:15:04,838 --> 00:15:06,905
[fred] what the hell happened?
What happened?
333
00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:08,940
[scott] something just
got off from a [indistinct]
334
00:15:08,975 --> 00:15:11,009
It's in my foot?
335
00:15:11,044 --> 00:15:14,345
[indistinct] [bleep]
[indistinct]
336
00:15:14,381 --> 00:15:16,481
[fred] you all right? Yeah.
337
00:15:16,516 --> 00:15:19,183
[scott] yeah. I sure
don't wanna be under that.
338
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:21,019
[fred]
if you're willing to cut down
339
00:15:21,054 --> 00:15:23,788
Here at the bottom,
I'll be honest,
340
00:15:23,823 --> 00:15:25,523
That there,
we got room to move.
341
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:29,661
[paul c]
tunneling straight down,
342
00:15:29,696 --> 00:15:31,863
Scott has created
a narrow hole,
343
00:15:31,898 --> 00:15:35,099
Forcing him to work
under the loaded rock basket.
344
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:40,171
[paul r] scott, roll over.
345
00:15:40,206 --> 00:15:42,407
The back door in the wall.
346
00:15:45,912 --> 00:15:48,146
[scott] I can't go back
towards the wall anymore.
347
00:15:49,082 --> 00:15:50,748
[fred]
then I need you to come up.
348
00:15:52,786 --> 00:15:55,420
[paul c]
the promise of bedrock riches
349
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:57,555
Lead scott to ignore fred,
350
00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:00,091
And its cost him his dive.
351
00:16:02,329 --> 00:16:03,695
[fred] yeah,
he was getting down
352
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:05,330
To that bedrock,
but he showed me
353
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:07,165
He could really do the job
and everything,
354
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,135
But he's not aware
of the surrounding dangers.
355
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:15,340
That bothers me.
356
00:16:15,375 --> 00:16:18,409
[suspenseful music playing]
357
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:29,687
[dustin] all right. James,
358
00:16:29,723 --> 00:16:31,122
Fire it up.
359
00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:34,659
[engine revs]
360
00:16:34,694 --> 00:16:36,861
[man] you guys seem to think
if there's gold further up,
361
00:16:36,896 --> 00:16:38,363
I don't know how.
362
00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:40,131
[dustin] now all we need
is a crack for that gold
363
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:43,134
To settle in,
a pocket, a catch,
364
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:45,737
Just keep on going upstream
until we clean it out.
365
00:16:49,976 --> 00:16:51,476
[paul c] dustin's crew
366
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:53,177
Is back investigating
the chute
367
00:16:53,213 --> 00:16:54,912
After finding no gold,
368
00:16:54,948 --> 00:16:57,415
Or gold that catches
on the slick bed rock
369
00:16:57,450 --> 00:16:59,650
On dustin's last dive.
370
00:17:01,654 --> 00:17:03,654
[dustin] today,
we're gonna put in carlos.
371
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:06,924
I have a feeling
it's gonna be a complete bust.
372
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:10,128
[paul c] if the bedrock
continues upstream
373
00:17:10,163 --> 00:17:11,729
On a slick slope,
374
00:17:11,765 --> 00:17:14,999
The chute
could be a total failure.
375
00:17:16,803 --> 00:17:18,870
We're committed now.
So, you got to...
376
00:17:18,905 --> 00:17:21,039
You got to dig
the whole damn thing out.
377
00:17:21,074 --> 00:17:23,174
Check that box off.
378
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:24,909
That's done.
379
00:17:24,944 --> 00:17:27,378
You don't have to come back
here, and dig ever again.
380
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:28,679
It is clean.
381
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:31,582
[carlos]
you're ready to rock, man.
382
00:17:31,618 --> 00:17:34,052
- Have a good dive.
-[carlos] I will.
383
00:17:34,087 --> 00:17:35,987
Holy moly.
384
00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:37,889
[bleep] yeah, you're welcome.
385
00:17:37,924 --> 00:17:39,891
Ooh. Diver in.
386
00:17:43,696 --> 00:17:45,563
[carlos] [indistinct]
swim as far as I can.
387
00:17:45,598 --> 00:17:47,098
[dustin] copy that.
388
00:17:50,537 --> 00:17:53,738
[carlos] [indistinct]
gold, oh, man.
389
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:59,310
[dustin] so, tell me
what your initial, uh,
390
00:17:59,345 --> 00:18:00,878
Talk to us.
391
00:18:02,315 --> 00:18:04,949
[carlos] an easy digging.
It's just very easy digging.
392
00:18:07,353 --> 00:18:10,288
[paul c] carlos dredges
the loose material upstream
393
00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:13,591
In search of anything
that could be a gold trap.
394
00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:19,530
[carlos] holy [bleep]
395
00:18:19,566 --> 00:18:21,365
[dustin]
what did you say, carlos?
396
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,334
[carlos] okay.
397
00:18:25,205 --> 00:18:26,737
You see one...
That right now?
398
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:29,407
[dustin] yes.
399
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:31,342
-[carlos] oh, okay.
-[dustin] yes.
400
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:35,379
[carlos] it seemed
like the bedrock has taken
401
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:37,648
Some depth going down.
402
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:40,318
On three,
does that make sense?
403
00:18:41,821 --> 00:18:44,322
No, it don't make sense.
What the hell?
404
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,061
[paul c]
three hours into his dive,
405
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:53,564
Carlos has uncovered
an anomaly on the bedrock.
406
00:18:55,135 --> 00:18:56,934
[carlos] [indistinct]
I was digging a sand
407
00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:58,336
That would go downstream.
408
00:18:58,371 --> 00:19:00,104
Now, it's upstream.
409
00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:02,807
It's heading down [indistinct]
410
00:19:02,842 --> 00:19:06,444
Underwater
[indistinct] going down.
411
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,112
[paul c] five feet down,
412
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:10,781
Carlos has discovered
a series of steps
413
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:12,884
In the bedrock getting deeper
414
00:19:12,919 --> 00:19:14,452
As they go upstream.
415
00:19:15,922 --> 00:19:18,289
If this is the start
of a plunge pool,
416
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:22,160
The bottom could contain
a massive pile of gold.
417
00:19:25,899 --> 00:19:27,765
[carlos] the chute
don't make no sense.
418
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:29,901
It's just crazy [indistinct]
ever thought it would be.
419
00:19:29,936 --> 00:19:31,602
[dustin]
the deeper that thing goes,
420
00:19:31,638 --> 00:19:33,604
The better the chances
all of us getting gold.
421
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,439
I still don't think
there's gonna be anything
422
00:19:35,475 --> 00:19:38,976
Down there,
but I'mma hopeful. Uh,
423
00:19:39,012 --> 00:19:40,945
I wanna be wrong too,
424
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:43,047
But I got to tell you,
it don't look good.
425
00:19:43,082 --> 00:19:45,850
[carlos] uh, yeah,
it's cold down [indistinct]
426
00:19:45,885 --> 00:19:47,451
[dustin] maybe it is
a gold catch after all.
427
00:19:47,487 --> 00:19:48,619
We'll see.
428
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:55,293
So, what do you think
[indistinct]
429
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:56,928
-[carlos] oh.
-[dustin] all right.
430
00:19:56,963 --> 00:19:58,196
Copy that.
431
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:06,037
That's just [bleep] going...
Still going down, dude.
432
00:20:06,072 --> 00:20:08,773
-[dustin] still going down?
-[wes] [bleep] [bleep]
433
00:20:08,808 --> 00:20:10,308
If he's going down like that,
434
00:20:10,343 --> 00:20:12,410
There's gonna be chock
full of gold, man.
435
00:20:12,445 --> 00:20:13,978
[dustin] it's getting deeper.
436
00:20:14,013 --> 00:20:16,214
The further upstream he goes.
437
00:20:16,249 --> 00:20:18,849
So, it's possible,
we have a plunge pool.
438
00:20:20,086 --> 00:20:22,653
[paul c] but the measure
of a gold catch
439
00:20:22,689 --> 00:20:25,990
Depends on the color
of your sluice box.
440
00:20:27,493 --> 00:20:29,860
[carlos] [bleep] like,
I don't see [indistinct]
441
00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:33,064
-[man] ooh, what's this?
-[carlos] yup. I know.
442
00:20:33,099 --> 00:20:34,732
-[man] oh, look at that piece.
-[carlos] oh, beautiful.
443
00:20:34,801 --> 00:20:37,335
[dustin] what?
Oh, look at that piece.
444
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:39,570
-[carlos] I told you, man.
-[ryan] that's hopeful.
445
00:20:39,606 --> 00:20:40,905
[carlos] yeah. I think so.
446
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,907
[dustin]
you can't be a gold miner
447
00:20:42,976 --> 00:20:44,375
And be hopeless.
448
00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:45,743
I'm just saying.
449
00:20:45,778 --> 00:20:47,411
[paul c]
pickers in the sluice
450
00:20:47,447 --> 00:20:50,948
Restores the crew's faith
in the chute.
451
00:20:50,984 --> 00:20:52,717
[dustin] the way this material
looks, it...
452
00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:55,186
All the gold
is gonna be on the bottom.
453
00:20:55,221 --> 00:20:57,188
[wes] it does impact
a very big area
454
00:20:57,223 --> 00:20:59,390
To fill up a bottle like this.
455
00:21:01,728 --> 00:21:04,028
We can speculate
all we want to,
456
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:05,429
But until you actually
get it in,
457
00:21:05,465 --> 00:21:06,664
Remove the rocks,
remove the boulders,
458
00:21:06,699 --> 00:21:08,232
You don't know what it's like.
459
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:11,302
As I love to be wrong
about this because well,
460
00:21:11,337 --> 00:21:13,437
That means more gold for us.
461
00:21:17,977 --> 00:21:19,443
[paul c] up ahead.
462
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,346
[dustin] something's wrong.
Get him the [bleep]
463
00:21:22,382 --> 00:21:24,582
Out of there,
he's [bleep] shivering.
464
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:26,751
I don't know
what you're accusing me of.
465
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:28,519
Will you shut the [bleep] up?
466
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,794
[dramatic music playing]
467
00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:49,307
-[fred] you ready?
-Yeah.
468
00:21:49,342 --> 00:21:50,574
[fred] let's do it.
469
00:21:52,712 --> 00:21:54,812
[engine revs]
470
00:21:54,847 --> 00:21:56,180
[casey]
we're getting for the morning,
471
00:21:56,215 --> 00:21:59,216
Uh, paul is gonna be
in diving today.
472
00:21:59,252 --> 00:22:01,419
[fred] hopefully,
we'll hit the bottom.
473
00:22:01,454 --> 00:22:04,655
We're so close
to finding that gold.
474
00:22:04,691 --> 00:22:07,124
[paul c]
nineteen feet down,
475
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,728
Fred's closing
in on the bedrock gold,
476
00:22:11,798 --> 00:22:14,899
But the hole is getting
increasingly dangerous.
477
00:22:14,934 --> 00:22:17,335
And fred had to abort
the last dive
478
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:20,571
When scott broke his rules
on safety.
479
00:22:22,375 --> 00:22:24,575
We need to evaluate
that situation.
480
00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:27,745
I'm not putting anybody
in danger out here.
481
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:29,947
None whatever.
482
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:33,217
It look like it's too, uh,
dangerous, uh,
483
00:22:33,252 --> 00:22:36,187
For anyone of you, guys,
to get in that water.
484
00:22:36,222 --> 00:22:38,889
And I'll have to make
a decision based on that.
485
00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:42,893
[paul c] fred needs
his most experienced diver
486
00:22:42,929 --> 00:22:44,795
To manage the risks.
487
00:22:46,132 --> 00:22:47,765
[man] have a good day.
488
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:52,503
-How that feels?
-Good to go.
489
00:22:52,538 --> 00:22:53,771
Good to go.
490
00:22:59,312 --> 00:23:01,212
[man] how you're making now
down there?
491
00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:05,282
Well, let's see.
492
00:23:05,318 --> 00:23:06,917
Looks good.
I think, I'm almost
493
00:23:06,953 --> 00:23:08,519
[indistinct]
to where scott was at.
494
00:23:09,856 --> 00:23:11,489
You got a hell of a hole.
495
00:23:11,524 --> 00:23:12,890
It's got like [indistinct]
a tunnel in china.
496
00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:14,325
[indistinct]
497
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:15,993
[paul r] [bleep]
it's that all I can see
498
00:23:16,028 --> 00:23:17,728
Is you were doing some crazy
[bleep] down here yesterday.
499
00:23:17,764 --> 00:23:19,964
And I don't know
what I would've done.
500
00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:22,199
Because you just dug
a runnel straight down.
501
00:23:23,403 --> 00:23:24,935
[paul c]
by boring straight down
502
00:23:24,971 --> 00:23:26,103
Towards the bedrock,
503
00:23:26,139 --> 00:23:28,806
And not widening the hole,
504
00:23:28,841 --> 00:23:31,041
Scott's created a death trap
505
00:23:31,077 --> 00:23:33,177
With steep pit walls.
506
00:23:34,814 --> 00:23:36,647
[fred] what would you
have done differently, paul?
507
00:23:36,682 --> 00:23:38,416
[paul c]
just made a bigger hole.
508
00:23:38,451 --> 00:23:40,017
There's really nothing else
you could have done
509
00:23:40,052 --> 00:23:41,485
-Differently.
- [scott] [indistinct]
510
00:23:41,521 --> 00:23:42,887
I was trying to
[indistinct] you know.
511
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:46,424
In my last dive,
it's weighing heavy on me.
512
00:23:46,459 --> 00:23:48,459
[fred] you're gonna have
to learn how to work
513
00:23:48,494 --> 00:23:49,660
Smarter, not harder.
514
00:23:50,596 --> 00:23:52,129
[paul r]
it kind of like [indistinct]
515
00:23:52,165 --> 00:23:53,297
To it, the building.
516
00:23:56,702 --> 00:24:00,137
Can you really expand
that out a little bit?
517
00:24:00,173 --> 00:24:02,006
[scott] yeah,
something I'm working on,
518
00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:04,742
But then, like
we're in the bottom.
519
00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:07,378
[paul r] first things first,
I have to, uh,
520
00:24:07,413 --> 00:24:10,214
Come back up a little bit,
extend the hole
521
00:24:10,249 --> 00:24:11,615
Before we can go
back down again.
522
00:24:11,651 --> 00:24:14,185
[man]
that's a good idea, man.
523
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:17,121
[dramatic music playing]
524
00:24:18,458 --> 00:24:21,959
[paul c] paul must make
the hole wider and safely
525
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:23,961
Before anyone can continue
526
00:24:23,996 --> 00:24:27,198
Dredging down
to bedrock gold.
527
00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:29,333
[fred] we're getting down,
and we're only
528
00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:32,002
In about a six to eight foot
hole right now,
529
00:24:32,038 --> 00:24:34,705
Down in the very
bottom of this thing.
530
00:24:34,707 --> 00:24:36,774
So we have to be careful
531
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:39,710
That the walls
don't slough off on us.
532
00:24:39,745 --> 00:24:41,979
[man]
I ain't coming there, paul.
533
00:24:43,082 --> 00:24:45,649
[paul r]
[indistinct] I got to...
534
00:24:45,685 --> 00:24:47,284
Open a hole up
a little bit more,
535
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,919
And get a little bit
more room in here.
536
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:51,822
[wes] we can still
get a good pile of gold
537
00:24:51,858 --> 00:24:53,390
Before the season is over.
538
00:24:53,426 --> 00:24:55,659
I really feel like
our day is gonna come.
539
00:24:55,695 --> 00:24:57,661
Man, I got a wife
and three kids
540
00:24:57,697 --> 00:25:00,698
To feed at home, man.
I just...
541
00:25:00,733 --> 00:25:02,700
I can't be gone all summer,
542
00:25:02,735 --> 00:25:04,568
And come home with nothing.
543
00:25:06,572 --> 00:25:08,539
Yeah, none of us
[indistinct] man.
544
00:25:10,076 --> 00:25:11,876
[fred] how's the situation
down there?
545
00:25:13,246 --> 00:25:14,678
[man] yeah, we're good.
546
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:18,349
[man] yeah, that's definitely
[indistinct]
547
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:22,319
[man] all right, great.
Good job, man. Good job.
548
00:25:22,355 --> 00:25:25,089
-[paul r] yup, thanks, man.
-[fred] well done, paul.
549
00:25:25,124 --> 00:25:26,690
It looks like
it's pretty safe.
550
00:25:26,726 --> 00:25:28,959
[paul c]
four hours in the water,
551
00:25:28,995 --> 00:25:32,663
Widening the hole,
has delayed progress.
552
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:34,565
[paul r] diver coming up.
553
00:25:34,634 --> 00:25:36,500
[paul c]
but paul has made it ready
554
00:25:36,536 --> 00:25:39,303
For the next diver
to get down to bedrock
555
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:41,105
And hit that gold.
556
00:25:48,180 --> 00:25:50,281
-[fred] hard day, huh?
-[man] yeah, boss.
557
00:25:51,684 --> 00:25:53,651
[fred]
hey, what are you doing?
558
00:25:53,686 --> 00:25:54,885
Hey.
559
00:25:54,921 --> 00:25:56,020
What are you doing?
560
00:25:56,055 --> 00:25:57,521
Same thing he did yesterday.
561
00:25:57,557 --> 00:25:59,623
[fred] you're breaking
the [bleep] rules.
562
00:26:01,227 --> 00:26:02,893
And I have more than
one person
563
00:26:02,929 --> 00:26:04,428
Go looking at sluice box.
564
00:26:04,463 --> 00:26:06,564
[scott] I didn't touch
anything in the box.
565
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:07,932
[fred] you could be
a [bleep] mad
566
00:26:07,967 --> 00:26:09,366
As you [bleep] wanna be.
567
00:26:09,402 --> 00:26:10,734
You don't break them rules.
568
00:26:10,770 --> 00:26:12,303
I told you
before you even start.
569
00:26:12,338 --> 00:26:13,637
You were picking around
and you were picking.
570
00:26:13,673 --> 00:26:15,205
I didn't touch
a [bleep] thing.
571
00:26:15,241 --> 00:26:17,474
I looked because I was
standing next to it.
572
00:26:17,510 --> 00:26:19,743
I don't know
what you're accusing me
573
00:26:19,779 --> 00:26:21,478
-Of right now, but...
-[fred] I'm... I...
574
00:26:21,514 --> 00:26:23,380
-I'm not accusing you.
-I'm not... No. No. No.
575
00:26:23,416 --> 00:26:25,015
-We are...
-You're accusing me of doing
576
00:26:25,051 --> 00:26:26,884
Something that I didn't do.
577
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:29,553
Listen, no one will go
snooping around
578
00:26:29,589 --> 00:26:31,422
In that box
without two people.
579
00:26:31,457 --> 00:26:33,490
[scott] so it's only wrong
if I do it
580
00:26:33,526 --> 00:26:35,492
Because holding
the same damn thing yesterday,
581
00:26:35,528 --> 00:26:37,294
The exact same thing.
582
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:38,896
[fred] well, I didn't see him.
583
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:40,664
[scott] so, it's only wrong
if I do it then?
584
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:42,733
It's only bad if I see it.
585
00:26:48,341 --> 00:26:49,773
Is there anything in the box?
586
00:26:49,842 --> 00:26:51,742
[scott]
it only matters if you see it.
587
00:26:51,777 --> 00:26:53,544
[fred] will you shut
the [bleep] up?
588
00:26:53,579 --> 00:26:55,179
You know what the rules were.
589
00:26:57,383 --> 00:26:59,216
[scott] [bleep] man,
I'm [bleep] out of here.
590
00:26:59,251 --> 00:27:02,152
-[bleep]
-[fred] yeah, I'mma [bleep]
591
00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:03,921
We're enforcing the rules,
592
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:06,056
Nothing [bleep] pisses me off
593
00:27:06,092 --> 00:27:08,792
Than what he just [bleep] did.
594
00:27:08,828 --> 00:27:11,195
[dramatic music playing]
595
00:27:13,733 --> 00:27:15,733
As you know paul, he does it.
596
00:27:15,768 --> 00:27:17,901
It's just something that
apparently
597
00:27:17,937 --> 00:27:19,770
I'm not allowed to do.
598
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:21,605
Here we are at the end
of the [bleep] season,
599
00:27:21,641 --> 00:27:24,141
I've busted my [bleep]
for all [bleep] here,
600
00:27:24,176 --> 00:27:27,378
And he's still treating me
like [bleep]
601
00:27:27,413 --> 00:27:30,214
[fred] so, we'll run
over there, flip the top up
602
00:27:30,249 --> 00:27:33,484
Start looking, wrong
[bleep] wrong.
603
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:36,854
He broke the cardinal rule,
604
00:27:36,889 --> 00:27:39,289
Don't go looking
the sluice box
605
00:27:39,325 --> 00:27:40,924
By yourself.
606
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,528
And I think most gold miners
understand exactly
607
00:27:44,563 --> 00:27:46,263
What I'm talking about.
608
00:27:46,298 --> 00:27:50,100
He's [bleep] got gold fever,
and I'm telling you,
609
00:27:50,136 --> 00:27:53,671
Gold will make
an honest person...
610
00:27:53,706 --> 00:27:55,272
Dishonest.
611
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:58,942
[scott] I do not
take kindly to somebody
612
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:00,978
-Calling me a thief.
-[wes] yeah, I don't think
613
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:02,680
That's what he meant by it.
614
00:28:02,715 --> 00:28:04,148
It's just kind of a rule
615
00:28:04,183 --> 00:28:06,116
In gold mining
that you don't do that.
616
00:28:06,152 --> 00:28:09,186
[scott] I think he's just got
some weird issue with me.
617
00:28:09,221 --> 00:28:12,289
He [bleep] do the same
[bleep] thing yesterday.
618
00:28:12,324 --> 00:28:13,991
But it was only wrong
if I do it.
619
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:15,592
[paul p] no, I understand.
620
00:28:15,628 --> 00:28:17,561
But I have been around
fred long enough to do...
621
00:28:17,596 --> 00:28:20,130
You know, he's got...
He's got trust in me.
622
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:21,932
You know, we've worked for...
We've [bleep]
623
00:28:21,967 --> 00:28:23,534
Worked with fred since 2013.
624
00:28:23,569 --> 00:28:25,402
[scott] it's my biggest
disappointed is that
625
00:28:25,438 --> 00:28:27,104
I thought I was
earning that trust.
626
00:28:27,139 --> 00:28:28,872
Yeah. You know, I really did.
627
00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:31,208
I guess I'm really bummed
that I worked my [bleep] off
628
00:28:31,243 --> 00:28:33,277
Like crazy,
and get no respect.
629
00:28:33,312 --> 00:28:35,846
[paul r] I mean gold makes
everybody act different.
630
00:28:35,881 --> 00:28:37,681
I mean he's had it happen
before in the past,
631
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:39,650
And that's probably why he's
a little bit
632
00:28:39,685 --> 00:28:41,785
The way he is,
just because nuggets...
633
00:28:41,821 --> 00:28:43,420
[scott]
he's had people steal nuggets?
634
00:28:43,456 --> 00:28:44,955
-Yes.
-[scott] oh [bleep].
635
00:28:44,990 --> 00:28:48,058
[dramatic music playing]
636
00:28:49,562 --> 00:28:51,962
[paul r] that's one reason
why he's real strict.
637
00:28:51,997 --> 00:28:53,797
You see a nice nugget
in the box,
638
00:28:53,833 --> 00:28:56,734
And then, later on when he's
going through it, it's gone.
639
00:28:56,802 --> 00:28:58,902
[wes] trust with gold
takes a long, long, long time.
640
00:28:58,938 --> 00:29:01,338
It's not the normal trust.
It's unfortunate,
641
00:29:01,373 --> 00:29:03,874
But that's just the way
gold is, man.
642
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:05,476
[paul r] people
have gotten killed
643
00:29:05,511 --> 00:29:07,411
Over a [bleep] nugget.
644
00:29:07,446 --> 00:29:09,346
-[scott] lots of people.
-Lots of people.
645
00:29:13,786 --> 00:29:15,719
[water splashing]
646
00:29:15,755 --> 00:29:18,789
[upbeat music playing]
647
00:29:27,967 --> 00:29:29,566
Have a good dive, man.
648
00:29:29,602 --> 00:29:31,535
I really hope there's some
gold in the bottom of it.
649
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:34,238
Well, we'll find out.
650
00:29:34,273 --> 00:29:36,273
We wouldn't be doing
all this for nothing.
651
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:38,075
We know there's gold
in the chute.
652
00:29:40,646 --> 00:29:42,813
[paul c] the end
of the season in sight,
653
00:29:42,848 --> 00:29:46,850
The chute is dustin's
last hope for a final payday.
654
00:29:46,886 --> 00:29:49,620
[dustin] we're running to get
some [indistinct] right now.
655
00:29:49,655 --> 00:29:53,090
It's gonna snow, so...
656
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:56,527
Hopefully james gets out
in the bottom of the chute.
657
00:29:56,562 --> 00:29:58,762
And it's got gold in it.
658
00:29:59,999 --> 00:30:02,266
[paul c] james needs
to deliver on the promise
659
00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:04,601
Of carlos' last dive.
660
00:30:04,637 --> 00:30:06,370
And get to the gold
661
00:30:06,405 --> 00:30:09,039
At the bottom
of the plunge pool.
662
00:30:10,876 --> 00:30:13,677
[james] all right. Here we go.
Let's get in the water, man.
663
00:30:15,447 --> 00:30:17,581
All right, my man. You got me?
664
00:30:17,616 --> 00:30:18,882
I got you.
665
00:30:22,755 --> 00:30:25,923
But you're gonna have to go
over that cable right there.
666
00:30:25,958 --> 00:30:27,758
You got to go
over the top of that,
667
00:30:27,793 --> 00:30:30,828
And you got to bring
your entire umbilical, yeah.
668
00:30:30,863 --> 00:30:32,362
And now,
I need your umbilical
669
00:30:32,398 --> 00:30:34,631
To go over there with you.
Ready?
670
00:30:36,202 --> 00:30:38,368
Don't let it get
underneath the [indistinct]
671
00:30:38,404 --> 00:30:41,405
All right,
get comfortable, man.
672
00:30:43,843 --> 00:30:45,542
[james] ugh, it's cold.
673
00:30:45,578 --> 00:30:47,044
[dustin] yeah, bad, man.
674
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:48,712
[james groans]
675
00:30:48,747 --> 00:30:50,848
-[laughs]
-[dustin] oh, oh, oh.
676
00:30:50,883 --> 00:30:52,382
Oh, I know, man,
677
00:30:52,418 --> 00:30:53,650
That hurts something awful.
678
00:30:53,686 --> 00:30:55,552
Oh, my [bleep].
679
00:30:55,588 --> 00:30:57,387
[carlos] think warm,
happy thoughts, dude.
680
00:30:57,423 --> 00:30:58,889
[indistinct]
in your hot suit,
681
00:30:58,924 --> 00:31:01,325
That's only
like keep you warm.
682
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,393
[james laughs]
683
00:31:03,429 --> 00:31:05,529
[dramatic music playing]
684
00:31:05,564 --> 00:31:08,498
[james] let's see what we got
going on over here.
685
00:31:08,534 --> 00:31:11,401
What's that, uh, carlos
going up to that part here?
686
00:31:11,437 --> 00:31:13,704
[carlos] I want you to clean
that whole bottom off of it.
687
00:31:13,739 --> 00:31:15,439
[james] and I think
about start dragging.
688
00:31:15,474 --> 00:31:16,840
[dustin]
yeah, you're good to go.
689
00:31:16,876 --> 00:31:18,308
Go ahead, man.
690
00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:23,647
There's some big
rocks down here.
691
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,653
Oh, let's do it.
692
00:31:29,688 --> 00:31:31,722
All right. You just to do it,
shut your water
693
00:31:31,757 --> 00:31:34,358
Just a little bit
before you see that up,
694
00:31:34,393 --> 00:31:35,926
A little bit, yeah.
695
00:31:37,496 --> 00:31:39,863
I see these all
sitting there. All right.
696
00:31:39,899 --> 00:31:43,500
-[water splashing]
-[air pump blowing]
697
00:31:43,535 --> 00:31:45,535
[james] like, it's caught up
something,
698
00:31:45,571 --> 00:31:46,703
I can't move.
699
00:31:48,774 --> 00:31:50,274
[dustin]
oh [bleep] the umbilical,
700
00:31:50,309 --> 00:31:51,975
It's twisted up bad.
701
00:31:52,044 --> 00:31:53,777
Oh [bleep] look at you,
you all pushed it up.
702
00:31:53,812 --> 00:31:56,446
Hey, I can't believe
you still in that water.
703
00:31:58,083 --> 00:32:00,083
[paul c]
james's diver umbilical,
704
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:02,619
Carrying vital hot water
and air,
705
00:32:02,655 --> 00:32:05,622
Is trapped underneath
the heavy dredge hose.
706
00:32:07,726 --> 00:32:09,526
[james] yeah, it's [bleep]
so twisted.
707
00:32:09,561 --> 00:32:11,762
[james shivering]
708
00:32:11,797 --> 00:32:13,797
[dustin] are you cold?
Are you [bleep] freezing
709
00:32:13,832 --> 00:32:17,000
Down there?
Are you [bleep] cold?
710
00:32:17,036 --> 00:32:18,802
[indistinct]
james is starting to shiver.
711
00:32:18,837 --> 00:32:22,639
Hey, divers got no hot water.
Tell him to get out.
712
00:32:24,209 --> 00:32:25,976
[james shivering]
713
00:32:26,011 --> 00:32:27,444
[paul c]
in the freezing waters
714
00:32:27,479 --> 00:32:28,979
Of mckinley creek,
715
00:32:29,014 --> 00:32:33,116
Hypothermia can kill him
in minutes.
716
00:32:33,152 --> 00:32:34,918
-[man] [indistinct]
-yeah.
717
00:32:34,954 --> 00:32:36,386
[man]
you pull the umbilical up?
718
00:32:36,422 --> 00:32:38,088
Because the umbilical, look.
719
00:32:40,059 --> 00:32:42,292
Pull, pull, pull, pull.
720
00:32:42,328 --> 00:32:44,661
Oh, are you [bleep] kidding?
721
00:32:44,697 --> 00:32:47,597
[paul c] the dredge hose
and umbilical are so tangled.
722
00:32:47,633 --> 00:32:49,433
[man] it won't lift.
723
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:52,402
[paul c] a combined weight
is impossible to lift.
724
00:32:52,438 --> 00:32:55,172
[james shivering] it's cold.
725
00:32:55,207 --> 00:32:56,707
Get him the [bleep]
out of there.
726
00:32:56,742 --> 00:32:58,942
He's [bleep] shivering,
I can hear it.
727
00:32:58,978 --> 00:33:00,544
[man] we have to do something.
728
00:33:01,714 --> 00:33:03,714
Try to get the super claw
onto the winch,
729
00:33:03,749 --> 00:33:05,782
Pull it right up.
730
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:06,850
[dustin] I'm on it.
731
00:33:06,885 --> 00:33:10,087
[dramatic music playing]
732
00:33:10,122 --> 00:33:12,856
-[dustin] got it.
-[man] coming up.
733
00:33:12,891 --> 00:33:15,926
[machine revving]
734
00:33:17,296 --> 00:33:18,395
[james] all right.
735
00:33:22,234 --> 00:33:24,001
[james groans]
736
00:33:26,271 --> 00:33:27,637
[dustin] that's it.
737
00:33:27,673 --> 00:33:30,273
-[james] oh, my.
-[dustin cheering]
738
00:33:30,342 --> 00:33:33,043
-Hold on to something, man.
-[james shivering]
739
00:33:34,313 --> 00:33:35,579
[james groans]
740
00:33:38,017 --> 00:33:39,883
[dustin] how you feeling, man?
741
00:33:39,918 --> 00:33:41,685
-It's cold.
-I know. I know.
742
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,286
That's why I'm trying
to get in, yeah,
743
00:33:43,322 --> 00:33:44,755
You're twisted real hard.
744
00:33:44,790 --> 00:33:46,556
[carlos]
[laughs] we got like...
745
00:33:46,592 --> 00:33:48,625
Yeah, man, you got some couple
twists in here, definitely.
746
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:50,961
Pull them up with
this in your chest.
747
00:33:50,996 --> 00:33:53,497
Take your time with it, man,
you're not in a hurry.
748
00:33:53,532 --> 00:33:55,132
I'm good.
749
00:33:55,167 --> 00:33:56,967
I can't leave the chute
without knowing
750
00:33:57,002 --> 00:33:59,336
-What's the bottom of this.
-[carlos] you don't have to.
751
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:01,605
[dustin] and you got to just
take a break for a minute,
752
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,206
Just take a break
for a minute.
753
00:34:03,242 --> 00:34:05,542
This ain't the end of it, man.
It's all good.
754
00:34:06,912 --> 00:34:08,045
I'm good.
755
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,613
-[dustin] good?
-Yup.
756
00:34:09,648 --> 00:34:12,682
-[dustin] are you sure?
-[james] yes.
757
00:34:12,718 --> 00:34:14,751
[paul c]
hot water now flowing,
758
00:34:16,055 --> 00:34:19,656
James heads back
into the ice cold creek
759
00:34:19,691 --> 00:34:22,859
To locate the plunge pool
carlos found,
760
00:34:22,895 --> 00:34:25,362
Clear out the rocks
and gravel
761
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:27,998
To get down to the gold
at the bottom.
762
00:34:29,368 --> 00:34:30,801
[dustin] let's get it done.
763
00:34:32,771 --> 00:34:34,304
[water splashing]
764
00:34:34,339 --> 00:34:35,639
[dustin]
you warm up yet, man?
765
00:34:35,674 --> 00:34:37,007
[james]
yeah, I'm getting warm.
766
00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:38,575
[dustin] okay.
767
00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:40,043
[james]
yup. I'm feeling good.
768
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,847
[indistinct] are incredible.
769
00:34:43,882 --> 00:34:45,882
I've never seen
anything like it.
770
00:34:45,918 --> 00:34:48,952
[dramatic music playing]
771
00:34:51,023 --> 00:34:53,690
[dustin] dig it up and roll.
772
00:34:53,725 --> 00:34:56,259
[james] oh, man,
773
00:34:56,295 --> 00:34:58,395
There's a lot of work to do.
774
00:34:58,430 --> 00:35:00,363
[dustin]
that's the [indistinct] man.
775
00:35:00,399 --> 00:35:03,400
[james] oh, yeah,
oh, and some material.
776
00:35:03,435 --> 00:35:05,602
They're hopeless materials,
not gold [indistinct]
777
00:35:05,637 --> 00:35:07,070
Every once in a while,
778
00:35:07,106 --> 00:35:09,940
I see something
sparkling in here.
779
00:35:09,975 --> 00:35:11,241
Let's hope though.
780
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:13,043
So james got back
in the water.
781
00:35:13,078 --> 00:35:14,644
He's trying to work
his way down,
782
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,413
And I've got a feeling
there's a lot of gold
783
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:18,014
Sitting right directly
underneath me
784
00:35:18,050 --> 00:35:20,617
In this crazy
turbulent water right here.
785
00:35:20,652 --> 00:35:23,286
We got to get to the bottom
of it, get cleaned it out.
786
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:27,557
It's still dropping down,
but...
787
00:35:27,593 --> 00:35:30,494
There's so much freaking...
Oh, what's this?
788
00:35:30,529 --> 00:35:32,262
I see them gold.
789
00:35:33,232 --> 00:35:34,831
Oh, got a nugget.
790
00:35:36,034 --> 00:35:37,734
[wes] did you hear that?
791
00:35:37,769 --> 00:35:39,536
[man] did you just say
you got a nugget?
792
00:35:39,571 --> 00:35:40,770
[james] yeah. I got a nugget.
793
00:35:40,806 --> 00:35:43,173
-He's got a nugget?
-[laughs]
794
00:35:43,208 --> 00:35:45,208
[james] I found a nugget
in the hole over here,
795
00:35:45,244 --> 00:35:47,077
Looks really, really cool.
796
00:35:47,112 --> 00:35:49,412
[man]
yeah, it's so awesome man.
797
00:35:49,448 --> 00:35:51,848
[dramatic music playing]
798
00:35:51,884 --> 00:35:53,850
[wes]
whoa, that good nugget, man.
799
00:35:53,886 --> 00:35:55,685
[dustin laughs]
800
00:35:55,721 --> 00:35:57,320
[paul c]
james's handpicked nugget...
801
00:35:57,356 --> 00:35:58,655
Look at that.
802
00:35:58,690 --> 00:36:00,123
[paul c]
...Could be the start
803
00:36:00,159 --> 00:36:02,159
Of a massive pile
they'll find
804
00:36:02,194 --> 00:36:03,760
When they hit the bottom.
805
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:07,531
-[man] that's a good nugget.
-[man] awesome.
806
00:36:07,566 --> 00:36:09,633
That's awesome, dude.
807
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:12,035
[man] good job, man. Good job.
808
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:13,670
[man] you could've told me.
809
00:36:13,705 --> 00:36:15,672
[man] holy [bleep]
810
00:36:15,707 --> 00:36:18,308
[james] it looks like
there could be a [indistinct]
811
00:36:18,343 --> 00:36:19,509
A lot of gold here.
812
00:36:20,879 --> 00:36:22,979
[carlos]
james found the gold nugget.
813
00:36:23,015 --> 00:36:25,282
The deeper he's going down,
814
00:36:25,317 --> 00:36:26,883
That's where we're gonna
get the gold.
815
00:36:26,919 --> 00:36:29,085
The gold has to be
on the bedrock.
816
00:36:29,121 --> 00:36:30,754
How deep are you
making it far?
817
00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:33,623
[james] oh, let me stand
up [indistinct]
818
00:36:36,495 --> 00:36:39,763
-All right. About eight feet?
-[james] eight feet.
819
00:36:39,798 --> 00:36:41,932
I'd say you're at about
eight feet right now.
820
00:36:41,967 --> 00:36:44,634
Okay. Keep digging, man.
821
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:47,204
He still has not reached
the bottom.
822
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,972
Apparently,
it's a lot bigger plunge pool
823
00:36:49,007 --> 00:36:50,574
Than I thought
it was gonna be.
824
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:53,643
Apparently, it's a lot bigger.
825
00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:56,947
There's a lot more material
in this hole,
826
00:36:56,982 --> 00:36:59,683
And it's just gonna take more
than one or two or three days.
827
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:02,485
You know what I mean?
828
00:37:02,521 --> 00:37:05,255
[paul c] after five hours
in the freezing water...
829
00:37:06,525 --> 00:37:07,991
[dustin] hey, buddy.
830
00:37:08,026 --> 00:37:09,426
How are you looking
down there, man?
831
00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:12,028
[james] oh, just [indistinct]
832
00:37:12,064 --> 00:37:15,899
[paul c] the plunge pool
is going down so deep,
833
00:37:15,934 --> 00:37:18,568
There's no way
james can clean it out.
834
00:37:19,771 --> 00:37:22,205
[dustin] all right.
I am gonna go [indistinct]
835
00:37:22,241 --> 00:37:23,974
Your dive, my man.
I got to get the feeling,
836
00:37:24,009 --> 00:37:25,709
You're getting
a little drunk down there,
837
00:37:25,744 --> 00:37:27,510
A little dredged up.
You got to be tired
838
00:37:27,546 --> 00:37:28,745
By now, man.
839
00:37:30,249 --> 00:37:32,515
[james]
that was real stiff, too.
840
00:37:32,551 --> 00:37:34,884
[laughs]
841
00:37:36,922 --> 00:37:38,855
[man] it does, man.
842
00:37:38,890 --> 00:37:40,924
[james] that's crazy
how deep that thing goes.
843
00:37:40,959 --> 00:37:42,726
[dustin] good job, james!
844
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:44,060
You're still going down, deep?
845
00:37:44,096 --> 00:37:45,495
[james] yeah.
846
00:37:45,530 --> 00:37:47,297
Good job on pulling up
a nugget.
847
00:37:47,332 --> 00:37:48,632
I didn't think we'd get a...
848
00:37:48,667 --> 00:37:50,100
See a nugget
in this whole thing.
849
00:37:50,135 --> 00:37:52,235
Oh [indistinct]
looks like, [makes sound]
850
00:37:52,271 --> 00:37:55,472
I was like,
"ha. All right. Yeah."
851
00:37:56,808 --> 00:37:59,009
[paul c]
besides finding a nugget,
852
00:37:59,044 --> 00:38:01,945
James could've dredged
more plunge pool of gold
853
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:03,280
Into the sluice.
854
00:38:06,151 --> 00:38:08,685
Well, let's see
what's in the back.
855
00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:14,024
-[man] what's it look like?
-[man] oh, that is gold.
856
00:38:14,059 --> 00:38:16,526
-[laughs] I see it.
-[man] that's gold.
857
00:38:16,561 --> 00:38:18,361
That's gold,
that's definitely gold.
858
00:38:18,397 --> 00:38:20,664
-That's a [bleep] big nugget.
-[man] that's pretty good.
859
00:38:20,699 --> 00:38:23,366
Whoo. That's big.
860
00:38:23,402 --> 00:38:25,435
With that right there,
would probably pay for gas.
861
00:38:25,470 --> 00:38:27,070
Yeah. That was our gas
right there, man.
862
00:38:27,105 --> 00:38:28,571
Yeah.
863
00:38:28,607 --> 00:38:30,173
[paul c]
the combination of the nugget
864
00:38:30,208 --> 00:38:32,709
And good gold in the sluice
865
00:38:32,744 --> 00:38:34,411
Means the chute plunge pool
866
00:38:34,446 --> 00:38:36,813
Could be as big a payday
867
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:39,215
As the 30 ounces
they've already got
868
00:38:39,251 --> 00:38:41,985
From the rest
of rockfall ravine.
869
00:38:43,288 --> 00:38:46,156
Once we get to the deepest
area of this chute right here,
870
00:38:46,191 --> 00:38:48,325
I think there's gonna be
a big pay in it.
871
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,694
[dustin] I got to tell you.
We've already found more gold
872
00:38:50,729 --> 00:38:52,762
Than I thought we'd
find out of this chute.
873
00:38:52,798 --> 00:38:54,731
You guys, I'm glad
that you all talked me
874
00:38:54,766 --> 00:38:56,466
Into, uh, working this hole.
875
00:38:56,501 --> 00:38:59,002
[dramatic music playing]
876
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:01,404
So far, I'm the nugget king
of the chute.
877
00:39:03,275 --> 00:39:05,041
[man] the deeper it goes,
the better.
878
00:39:05,077 --> 00:39:06,810
We'll find out. We haven't
hit the bottom yet.
879
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:08,478
[dustin] it could mean
that there's more
880
00:39:08,513 --> 00:39:09,946
Nuggets down there.
881
00:39:09,981 --> 00:39:12,215
That'd be one hell
of a season for us.
882
00:39:16,888 --> 00:39:19,356
[birds chirping]
883
00:39:20,859 --> 00:39:24,094
[fred] scott, and everybody
on the crew knows the rules.
884
00:39:24,129 --> 00:39:26,396
One person
doesn't go over there
885
00:39:26,431 --> 00:39:28,498
And go digging
in the damn sluice box.
886
00:39:29,835 --> 00:39:31,468
[paul c]
when mining for gold,
887
00:39:31,503 --> 00:39:34,738
A trustworthy crew
is critical.
888
00:39:34,773 --> 00:39:38,708
And fred hurt's is in crisis.
889
00:39:40,645 --> 00:39:43,012
[fred] gold does a funny thing
to people,
890
00:39:43,081 --> 00:39:45,648
But that wasn't the point.
891
00:39:45,684 --> 00:39:48,051
No people have
got to learn the rules,
892
00:39:48,086 --> 00:39:51,521
And understand how important
some of our rules are.
893
00:39:51,556 --> 00:39:53,256
You break the [bleep] rules,
894
00:39:53,291 --> 00:39:55,558
You're gonna get
your ass shoot out.
895
00:39:55,594 --> 00:39:57,460
[dramatic music playing]
896
00:39:57,496 --> 00:39:58,962
[birds chirping]
897
00:40:03,969 --> 00:40:07,270
[paul c] in the hard
world of gold mining,
898
00:40:07,305 --> 00:40:08,805
Sometimes,
899
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,273
You have to bend
the rules a little
900
00:40:10,308 --> 00:40:11,441
To come out on top.
901
00:40:13,011 --> 00:40:14,377
[man] on your mark...
902
00:40:14,413 --> 00:40:17,380
[laughs]
903
00:40:17,416 --> 00:40:19,382
[man] we got a damn cheater.
904
00:40:19,418 --> 00:40:22,285
-[man] go! Go!
-[man] [indistinct]
905
00:40:24,222 --> 00:40:26,322
[man]
you got to wait for the mark!
906
00:40:26,358 --> 00:40:28,291
-Ready?
-[man] now, go!
907
00:40:28,326 --> 00:40:31,394
-[engine revving]
-[laughter]
908
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:33,329
[man] we got you,
we got you [bleep]
909
00:40:43,542 --> 00:40:44,841
[man]
it's all about the driving
910
00:40:44,876 --> 00:40:46,242
[man] no wonder,
911
00:40:46,278 --> 00:40:47,844
They have my brake on
all of a sudden.
912
00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:49,679
-[man] oh, man.
-[laughs]
913
00:40:53,518 --> 00:40:56,486
[dramatic music playing]
914
00:41:12,871 --> 00:41:14,304
I hate letting you down.
915
00:41:16,875 --> 00:41:19,309
[paul c]
after months of conflict,
916
00:41:19,344 --> 00:41:23,112
Fred and scott's relationship
is at breaking point,
917
00:41:25,584 --> 00:41:29,819
After scott ignored
the golden rule of mining.
918
00:41:31,122 --> 00:41:33,623
[scott] I'm sorry for looking
into the sluice box on my own.
919
00:41:35,594 --> 00:41:36,626
I don't know.
920
00:41:36,661 --> 00:41:38,027
In gold mining,
921
00:41:38,063 --> 00:41:40,296
The most important thing
is trust.
922
00:41:40,332 --> 00:41:43,566
This is not stuff
that you just take lightly.
923
00:41:45,470 --> 00:41:46,569
[scott] yeah.
924
00:41:48,073 --> 00:41:50,340
You know, I don't have any
other gold mining experience.
925
00:41:50,375 --> 00:41:53,243
I'm here to learn everything
you're willing teach me, man.
926
00:41:53,278 --> 00:41:55,545
That's really
what I'm hoping for.
927
00:41:55,580 --> 00:41:57,213
[fred] well, hell
928
00:41:58,283 --> 00:42:01,317
[indistinct]
responsible diver.
929
00:42:01,353 --> 00:42:04,120
Difficult to understand
for me,
930
00:42:04,155 --> 00:42:06,022
And if you can't,
931
00:42:06,057 --> 00:42:08,625
I just request
that you slow down
932
00:42:08,660 --> 00:42:10,460
A little bit. That's all.
933
00:42:15,634 --> 00:42:17,867
Uh, I understand
the learning curve.
934
00:42:17,903 --> 00:42:21,037
I just expect people
to work harder.
935
00:42:22,274 --> 00:42:24,841
So, show me
that you can do that.
936
00:42:24,876 --> 00:42:26,609
Put that gear on,
get in there,
937
00:42:26,645 --> 00:42:28,578
And go do the work.
938
00:42:28,613 --> 00:42:30,613
[paul c] luckily for scott,
939
00:42:30,649 --> 00:42:33,917
Fred needs every diver
he can get.
940
00:42:33,952 --> 00:42:35,752
-I'm sorry of [indistinct]
-it's all right.
941
00:42:35,787 --> 00:42:38,888
Let's go ahead and proceed,
and keep moving.
942
00:42:40,225 --> 00:42:41,925
[paul c]
scott must now prove to fred
943
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,193
That he can stick
to the rules.
944
00:42:45,797 --> 00:42:49,832
[fred] [indistinct]
945
00:42:49,868 --> 00:42:54,003
[paul c] and safely get down
to the gold on the bedrock.
946
00:42:54,039 --> 00:42:58,641
[dramatic music playing]
947
00:43:03,081 --> 00:43:04,914
[fred] all right.
What you're doing right now
948
00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:06,950
-Is checking the parameter.
-[scott] okay.
949
00:43:06,985 --> 00:43:08,651
[fred]
[indistinct] the parameter
950
00:43:08,687 --> 00:43:10,620
[indistinct] very fast
[indistinct] okay.
951
00:43:10,655 --> 00:43:12,121
[scott] yeah, it does.
952
00:43:12,157 --> 00:43:13,489
[fred]
uh, got down a little lower,
953
00:43:13,525 --> 00:43:15,224
And check it a little lower.
954
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:17,260
I think it's pretty solid.
955
00:43:17,295 --> 00:43:19,028
[scott] um, the feet, um,
two or three feet
956
00:43:19,064 --> 00:43:20,797
- Above the bottom.
-[fred] yup.
957
00:43:20,832 --> 00:43:22,665
[scott] it's still
good news down here.
958
00:43:22,734 --> 00:43:25,368
[fred] okay. All right.
Okay. Good.
959
00:43:25,403 --> 00:43:28,438
Uh, are you okay [indistinct]
960
00:43:28,473 --> 00:43:29,973
[scott] copy that.
961
00:43:30,041 --> 00:43:32,809
[fred] all right.
Basket touching the water.
962
00:43:36,114 --> 00:43:37,714
[scott] got it.
963
00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:43,119
[man] [indistinct]
964
00:43:43,154 --> 00:43:45,088
-[man] [indistinct] where?
-[scott] yes.
965
00:43:45,123 --> 00:43:46,756
[man]
[indistinct] is coming up.
966
00:43:46,791 --> 00:43:48,591
[scott] all right.
I got eyes on it.
967
00:43:51,196 --> 00:43:53,262
[man] nice little basket
of rock there.
968
00:43:54,666 --> 00:43:56,332
How's it going down there?
969
00:43:57,569 --> 00:43:59,636
[scott]
checking it nice and easy.
970
00:43:59,671 --> 00:44:02,071
Loading rocks
that are just barely too big
971
00:44:02,107 --> 00:44:03,873
To go to the dredge,
972
00:44:03,908 --> 00:44:05,575
Kind of lot of loose material
down here.
973
00:44:06,978 --> 00:44:11,314
Not every, uh, pile
of dredge is [indistinct]
974
00:44:11,349 --> 00:44:14,183
Anything to sluice,
I knock down in
975
00:44:14,219 --> 00:44:16,285
[indistinct] keep
the rest safe down here.
976
00:44:16,321 --> 00:44:18,888
Just remember how high
that 18-foot was up there.
977
00:44:18,923 --> 00:44:20,590
[scott] copy that.
978
00:44:20,625 --> 00:44:22,392
[fred] scott is diving
the water right now,
979
00:44:22,427 --> 00:44:26,796
And he's, um,
picking up rocks, dredging,
980
00:44:26,831 --> 00:44:30,433
Keeping around,
checking all these parameter,
981
00:44:30,468 --> 00:44:32,402
Making sure there wasn't
gonna be any big rocks
982
00:44:32,437 --> 00:44:34,337
Falling in on him.
983
00:44:34,372 --> 00:44:36,639
So far, he's been doing fine.
984
00:44:36,675 --> 00:44:38,808
I guess he's just gonna keep
right on going.
985
00:44:40,512 --> 00:44:42,879
[paul c] after three hours
of hard grind,
986
00:44:42,914 --> 00:44:46,282
Scott safely removed
almost 1500 pounds
987
00:44:46,317 --> 00:44:47,984
Of rock by hand.
988
00:44:49,821 --> 00:44:51,454
Are you almost already
for that stick?
989
00:44:51,489 --> 00:44:53,489
[scott] oh [indistinct]
990
00:44:53,525 --> 00:44:55,191
[paul c] paul sees it.
991
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:57,326
Fred predicted
they'd find the bedrock,
992
00:44:57,362 --> 00:44:59,762
And the gold
at around 20 feet.
993
00:45:05,036 --> 00:45:06,736
[fred] I see 19.
994
00:45:10,175 --> 00:45:11,474
[man] [bleep]
995
00:45:11,509 --> 00:45:13,443
[fred] about 20 feet.
996
00:45:13,478 --> 00:45:15,445
[indistinct]
997
00:45:18,083 --> 00:45:20,783
-[scott] that's really good.
-[fred] [indistinct] yay,
998
00:45:20,819 --> 00:45:24,153
20 feet [indistinct]
down that reach.
999
00:45:24,189 --> 00:45:27,190
Okay. Uh, diver up.
1000
00:45:28,526 --> 00:45:29,759
Good job, man.
1001
00:45:32,564 --> 00:45:34,230
[paul c] if fred's right,
1002
00:45:34,265 --> 00:45:36,265
He's now inches
from the bedrock.
1003
00:45:39,003 --> 00:45:40,803
-[fred] scott.
-What?
1004
00:45:40,839 --> 00:45:42,371
Go see what's in the box.
1005
00:45:45,677 --> 00:45:48,111
[scott] holy [bleep]
look at that.
1006
00:45:48,146 --> 00:45:49,879
That's a nice piece
of [indistinct]
1007
00:45:49,914 --> 00:45:53,449
[man] yeah, dude, it's another
little piece in there.
1008
00:45:53,485 --> 00:45:56,986
Look at that one.
It's a nice looking box.
1009
00:45:57,021 --> 00:45:58,621
That's nice.
1010
00:45:59,691 --> 00:46:01,657
[paul c] the sluice box
is unlike anything
1011
00:46:01,693 --> 00:46:04,827
The crew has experienced
so far this season.
1012
00:46:06,264 --> 00:46:08,297
A sure sign they're on course
1013
00:46:08,333 --> 00:46:10,466
For a monumental payday.
1014
00:46:13,037 --> 00:46:14,470
[man]
I've mined all over alaska,
1015
00:46:14,506 --> 00:46:16,906
And I don't see nuggets
that big, man.
1016
00:46:18,042 --> 00:46:19,275
[man] that's dirty too.
1017
00:46:20,378 --> 00:46:21,778
[laughter]
1018
00:46:23,348 --> 00:46:24,981
[man]
that's a nice chunky pieces.
1019
00:46:25,016 --> 00:46:26,949
-[man] that's pretty nice.
-[man] nice. Nice.
1020
00:46:26,985 --> 00:46:29,318
-Nice. Nice. Nice.
-[man] [laughs]
1021
00:46:29,354 --> 00:46:31,220
[paul c]
scott's not only found
1022
00:46:31,256 --> 00:46:33,623
The biggest nuggets
the crew have seen...
1023
00:46:35,426 --> 00:46:37,927
-[scott] not bad, huh, fred?
-[fred] yes, sir.
1024
00:46:37,962 --> 00:46:39,395
I like that.
1025
00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:42,265
[scott] how's my grade now?
[laughs]
1026
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:45,835
[paul c] ...He's redeemed
himself in the process.
1027
00:46:45,870 --> 00:46:48,471
[fred] the main thing is
you got down to 20 feet,
1028
00:46:48,506 --> 00:46:51,274
And a little bit of gold.
1029
00:46:51,309 --> 00:46:54,710
I would anticipate we are
really close to the bottom.
1030
00:46:55,847 --> 00:46:57,246
We had a good day today.
1031
00:46:57,282 --> 00:46:58,948
Uh, everything went right.
1032
00:46:58,983 --> 00:47:01,384
I respect a good hard work.
1033
00:47:01,419 --> 00:47:04,420
Pretty sure that I found
the most gold
1034
00:47:04,455 --> 00:47:06,722
Of anybody in one dive,
1035
00:47:06,758 --> 00:47:09,358
That [indistinct]
can shut down any minute now.
1036
00:47:09,394 --> 00:47:11,360
So we're really hoping that,
1037
00:47:11,396 --> 00:47:12,862
You know, bedrock
is just below
1038
00:47:12,897 --> 00:47:14,564
Where I got to today.
1039
00:47:14,599 --> 00:47:17,300
[paul c] with just days left
in this season,
1040
00:47:17,335 --> 00:47:19,836
Fred is on track to hit
1041
00:47:19,871 --> 00:47:21,904
His bedrock bonanza.
1042
00:47:21,940 --> 00:47:23,339
[fred] it's about time
that we find
1043
00:47:23,374 --> 00:47:25,007
Mother nature's treasure.
1044
00:47:25,043 --> 00:47:27,276
We're gonna go after it
with a vengeance.
1045
00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:32,081
[dramatic music playing]
1046
00:47:34,485 --> 00:47:36,719
[fred] man, I'm psyched up,
get that gold.
1047
00:47:36,754 --> 00:47:40,323
[paul c] on the next
gold rush: White water.
1048
00:47:40,358 --> 00:47:41,691
[dustin] we need
to find enough gold
1049
00:47:41,726 --> 00:47:43,025
To make it worth
being out here.
1050
00:47:43,061 --> 00:47:44,126
[man] woo!
1051
00:47:44,162 --> 00:47:45,461
[man] we got a fire.
1052
00:47:45,496 --> 00:47:47,163
Now, bring him up.
Bring him up.
1053
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:48,564
[dustin]
we're obviously tired,
1054
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,566
Making stupid mistakes.
[bleep]
1055
00:47:50,602 --> 00:47:51,934
[man] go get that gold
[indistinct]
1056
00:47:51,970 --> 00:47:54,003
[man] whoa.
1057
00:47:54,038 --> 00:47:55,638
[man] that's the bedrock
right there.
1058
00:47:55,673 --> 00:47:57,273
[man] finally.
1059
00:47:57,308 --> 00:47:59,842
This is what we've been
hunting for all year.
1060
00:47:59,878 --> 00:48:02,545
[man] oh, my [bleep]
