Bering Sea Gold (2012–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - Countdown to Gold - full transcript

Vernon: IF THIS THING WORKS
THE WAY I THINK IT WILL,

I'LL HAVE MORE GOLD
THAN KING MIDAS.

Bobby:
EVERYTHING'S LOOKING GOOD?

Emily: THIS SEASON, EVERYTHING
IS GOING TO CHANGE.

THIS IS MY TEAM OF DIVERS.

Kris: I NEEDED TO GET AWAY
FROM MY DAD.

I NEED TO DO THIS BY MYSELF.

THAT'S A BIG FLAKE.
WE'RE FIRST ON THE GOLD.

Shawn:
THERE'S A FORTUNE DOWN THERE.

I THINK I'M THE FIRST GUY

THAT'S EVER PUT MY EYES
ON THE BOTTOM OUT HERE.



Shawn: BUT IT'S 100 MILES
FROM HELP.

GETTING IT MEANS
SURVIVING OUT HERE.

Narrator: IN 1898,
THREE LUCKY SWEDES

HIT THE JACKPOT IN THE CREEKS
OF NORTHWEST ALASKA,

AND THE BOOMTOWN
OF NOME WAS BORN.

IN JUST OVER A CENTURY,

MINERS HAVE FOUND OVER
3.5 MILLION OUNCES OF GOLD.

HANDFUL OF NUGGETS.

AND THERE'S STILL FORTUNES
BEING MADE.

THIS IS WHAT LIFE IS ALL
ABOUT FOR A GOLD MINER.

Narrator: THE RUSH CONTINUES
IN THE BERING SEA

WITH DREDGES LITTERING
THE COAST IN SUMMERTIME.

BUT COME WINTER,
ONLY THE TOUGHEST PUSH ON.

GOLD IS IN MY HANDS!



[BLEEP] YEAH! WHOO!

OH, [BLEEP]!

DON'T DO THAT!

Woman: MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!

Brad: PULL HIM IN!
RED ALERT!

[ SINGING OPERA ]

OHH!

YOU KICKED ME WHEN
I WAS DOWN, AND YOU DID.

IT'S A LITTLE STORMY OUT.
IT'S A BLIZZARD.

Kris: IT'S NOT GOOD.

PICKER, PICKER. YEAH!

REAL AS GOLD.

[ CHEERING ]
BOOM!

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Narrator: AT THE START OF
THE 2015 WINTER MINING SEASON...

UNDER THIS SPOT'S
MEGA GOLD.

THE NOME DREDGING FLEET IS
SCRAMBLING LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

OKAY, WE'RE MOVING.
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

Zeke: THE DEPARTMENT
OF NATURAL RESOURCES

PUT A MORATORIUM ON ICE MINING.

THE WHOLE PROCESS FOR OFFSHORE
MINING HAS BEEN UPENDED.

Narrator: A NEW MANDATE
HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN --

BE OFF THE ICE BY APRIL 15th
OR FACE STEEP FINES.

IRONICALLY, ON TAX DAY,
WE HAVE TO STOP MAKING MONEY.

SHORTEST SEASON EVER.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER A MONTH
TO MAKE SOME MONEY OUT THERE.

Narrator: TO MAKE IT PAY,
MINERS ACROSS THE FLEET

ARE TAKING EXTREME MEASURES.

THIS CARGO IS GONNA MAKE ME
OR BREAK ME.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA WORK.

IF IT DOES, THEN IT WILL BE

A TOTAL GAME CHANGER
IN NOME, ALASKA.

Narrator: 100 FROZEN MILES
FROM NOME...

Narrator:...CAPTAIN
SHAWN POMRENKE, A.K.A. MR. GOLD,

IS WORKING ON HIS NEXT
NICKNAME -- MR. TRAILBLAZER.

Narrator: FOR YEARS...

Shawn: FORWARD HO.
YEAH!

Narrator: ...SHAWN
AND HIS OLD MAN, STEVE,

HAVE BEEN BUILDING
A GOLD MINING EMPIRE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE
A GOOD SEASON THIS YEAR.

I HAVE A FEELING.

Narrator: LAST SUMMER...
THAT IS A -- HOLY...

THAT'S HEAVY.

Narrator: ...THEY PEAKED
WITH A 1,145-OUNCE,

$1.4 MILLION TAKE.

YEAH!

Shawn: BUILDING A LEGACY
FOR THE POMRENKES

IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

I WANT MY KIDS TO BENEFIT,

AND I WANT THEIR KIDS
TO BENEFIT FROM ALL THIS.

Narrator: NOW HE'S NOT ABOUT
TO TAKE HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS.

Narrator: LOOKING
TO EXPAND THE DYNASTY,

SHAWN IS USING THE SHORT SEASON
TO FOLLOW A DREAM --

SEARCH FOR GOLD
ON A REMOTE CLAIM

100 MILES FROM NOME --
THE BLUFF.

IF I DON'T GET OUT THERE
AND FIND THAT NEW HOT SPOT,

WHO WILL?

BACK 100 YEARS AGO,

THERE WAS THOUSANDS UPON
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

DOWN THERE WITH PICKS
AND SHOVELS MINING THAT BEACH,

JUST LIKE NOME.

NOME -- WE FOUND THE GOLD
IN THE OCEAN.

YOU KNOW THERE'S GOT TO BE GOLD
OUT THERE IN THE OCEAN, TOO.

WE'RE GONNA GO FIND
THAT MOTHER LODE.

THIS GETS ME REALLY EXCITED.

YOU SEE MINING LIKE THIS,
AND IT ENDS RIGHT HERE.

ENDS RIGHT AT THE OCEAN.

YOU LOOK AT ALL
THE WORK THEY DID

TO GET THIS GOLD
OUT OF HERE.

WE'RE OUT IN THE MIDDLE
OF [BLEEP] NOWHERE,

AND THEY COME UP HERE AND GOT
THIS -- DID ALL THIS WORK.

BROUGHT THAT
BIG-ASS TIMBER.

YOU CAN SEE THE REMNANTS OF
THEIR SLUICE BOX COMING DOWN.

I GUARANTEE YOU THERE'S A TON
OF GOLD RIGHT OUT HERE.

NOBODY'S EVER DOVE
OUT HERE.

THEY'VE MINED UP HERE
BECAUSE THERE'S GOLD.

NOBODY'S EVER THOUGHT
ABOUT MINING OUT THERE.

WE'RE GONNA BE THE LEAD DOGS
ON THIS TRAIL.

Narrator: BEING THE LEAD DOG
THIS FAR FROM TOWN

IS A RISKY PROPOSITION.

BESIDES THE PERIL OF MINING
UNDER THIN ICE,

SHAWN AND HIS CREW
WILL HAVE TO SURVIVE

OFF THE GRID IN
THE SUBARCTIC WINTER.

IT'S A DANGEROUS SPOT,

AND IT'S THE MOST DANGEROUS
ADVENTURE I'LL EVER GO ON.

Narrator: WHILE SHAWN'S
ADVENTURE IS ONLY BEGINNING,

100 MILES WEST,
IN THE CITY OF NOME...

FOR CAPTAIN EMILY RIEDEL,

THE SEASON MAY ALREADY BE OVER.

I JUST SPOKE WITH D&R,

AND THEY'RE PERMITTING ME
THIS SEASON.

THEY CHANGED THEIR WHOLE
PERMITTING SETUP,

AND BASICALLY, ONLY A COUPLE
PEOPLE GOT PERMITS THIS SEASON.

I WAS TOO LATE OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I'M NOT ONE OF THEM.

THEY JUST TURNED ME DOWN
FOR A PERMIT.

[ BLEEP ]

Narrator: AS THE ONLY FEMALE
DREDGE OWNER IN THE FLEET,

NOME HAS ALWAYS BEEN A ROLLER
COASTER FOR EMILY.

NOT EVEN GOD COULD
SINK THIS SHIP!

NOT EVEN GOD COULD
SINK THIS SHIP!

Narrator: SHE CAME
TO TOWN TO DREDGE

WITH HER CHILDHOOD LOVE,
ZEKE TENHOFF.

THIS IS
FREAKING AWESOME!

YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR DEBTS.

YOU CAN'T OWN
PROPERTY FOR FREE!

BUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP
WENT UP IN FLAMES.

YOU'RE WELCOME
FOR EVERYTHING!

[ ALL CHEERING ]

SO, SHE SET OUT ON HER OWN...

WHOO!

21, 22...

...PULLING IN NEARLY 300 OUNCES
IN TWO SEASONS AS CAPTAIN.

HA-HA!
YOU DOUBTING [BLEEP] OUT THERE!

Narrator: NOW SHE'S OUT
OF LUCK AGAIN.

I'VE GOT A TEAM OF DIVERS
COMING UP HERE.

I HAD THIS WHOLE [BLEEP]
OPERATION PLANNED OUT,

AND I CAN'T RUN NOW.

I CAN'T GO OUT
AND [BLEEP] MINE NOW.

I CAN'T MINE WITHOUT
A [BLEEP] PERMIT.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.

Narrator:
WITH THE CLOCK TICKING,

EMILY HAS TO FIND A NEW PLAN.

SPEAKING OF NEW PLANS...

BEEN UP HERE -- THIS IS COMING
UP ON FIVE YEARS.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN VERNON ADKISON

HAS ONE OF HIS OWN.

I SOLD THE WILD RANGER.
I SOLD THE BERING BOOTY.

I'VE SOLD A LOT
OF MY OTHER EQUIPMENT

TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD
THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

I'M THINKING IT'LL BE
A VERY SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE

FROM MY PRESENT WAY
OF DOING BUSINESS.

THE HUMAN ELEMENT WILL BE
REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY.

NOT THAT I GOT ANYTHING
AGAINST HUMANS.

Narrator: FOR VERNON...

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M [BLEEP] DOING?!

YOU WANT TO GO, VERN?

YEAH, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DO!
COME ON! COME ON!

Narrator: ...THE HUMAN ELEMENT
HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM.

BUT AFTER A MASSIVE
366-OUNCE YEAR

WORTH ALMOST
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS...

Vernon: 2.5 POUNDS OF GOLD.

Narrator: ...THE SKIPPER
IS DOUBLING DOWN.

ONCE I GET IT PAID FOR,

I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
SPLITTING THE GOLD WITH IT.

Narrator: PITTING HUMAN STRENGTH
AGAINST HUMAN INNOVATION,

VERNON HAS SPENT OVER 100 GRAND
BRINGING TO TOWN A SUPER DREDGE.

Vernon: IT'S A RISK
WORTH TAKING.

THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF
TONS OF GOLD OFFSHORE IN NOME.

AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG I'M GONNA LIVE.

I MIGHT END UP WITH JUST A HEAD
IN A JAR WITH HOSES AND TUBES.

I'M STILL GONNA BE OUT THERE
GUNNING FOR THAT GOLD.

[ HORN HONKS ]

Narrator: ALREADY RUNNING
A DIVER OPERATION,

VERNON IS ABOUT TO TURN IT
UPSIDE-DOWN.

Vernon: OKAY, GUYS.

YOU KNOW
I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU

I HAD A LITTLE SURPRISE
FOR YOU, RIGHT?

Man: OH, DAMN!

COME MEET
YOUR COMPETITION.

ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: ENTER THE SUB DREDGE,

A 5,000-POUND
SUBMERSIBLE WORKHORSE.

ITS SEVEN-FOOT ROBOTIC ARM
IS EQUIPPED

WITH A SELF-SORTING
CLASSIFIER BASKET

THAT HAS THE POWER
TO CHEW THROUGH COBBLE

AND DIG DEEP INTO THE PAY DIRT.

FOR SUCTION,
A FOUR-INCH-HIGH SOLID PUMP

DESIGNED TO MOVE SAND AT A RATE
OF 120 CUBIC YARDS PER HOUR.

IF IT WORKS, IT'LL OUT-DREDGE
A HUMAN 15 TIMES OVER.

THAT'S A HELL OF A PUMP
RIGHT THERE.

IT'S LIKE JOHN HENRY
vs. THE STEAM MACHINE.

I'M ROOTING FOR
THE STEAM MACHINE

'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE GOLD IS.

I MIGHT HAVE A SADDLE
BUILT FOR RIGHT HERE.

[ LAUGHS ]
THIS IS THE AMERICAN WAY.

GET OFF YOUR ASS,
GET WET, GET SOME GOLD.

Narrator: JUST OUTSIDE NOME...

Emily: I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT AFTER WORKING

REALLY [BLEEP] HARD
TO TRY TO BE INDEPENDENT

AND SEPARATE MYSELF FROM
THE CRAZY THAT GOES ON UP HERE,

I AM DOING THIS.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I'M DOING THIS.

Narrator: IN ORDER TO SALVAGE
A MINING SEASON,

EMILY RIEDEL MUST FIND
A PARTNER WITH A PERMIT.

HERE WE GO.

I WISH THIS WAS VODKA.

LOOKING AT MY OPTIONS,
THEY'RE EXTREMELY LIMITED.

ZEKE HAS SOMETHING THAT I NEED,
WHICH IS A MINING PERMIT.

I'M ALSO TIRED
OF HAVING ENEMIES IN NOME.

AND ZEKE IS ONE OF
MY GREATEST ENEMIES.

AND I WOULD LIKE THAT TO CHANGE.

HEY, ZEKE.

OH.
HEY.

OH, IT'S EMILY.

I...

WHAT -- WHAT --
WHAT BRINGS YOU UP HERE?

I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

Narrator: JUST EAST OF NOME...

WITHOUT A MINING PERMIT IN HAND,

DESPERATE TIMES EQUAL DESPERATE
MEASURES FOR EMILY RIEDEL.

HEY, ZEKE.

OH.
HEY.

OH, IT'S EMILY.

I...

WHAT -- WHAT --
WHAT BRINGS YOU OUT HERE?

I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

YOU'RE NOT SAFE FROM ME.
YOU HAD TO COME A LONG WAY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?
LIKE, WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW, DUDE.
IT'S -- IT'S WEIRD.

I DROVE OUT HERE,
AND I FELT LIKE

I WAS JUST KIND OF,
LIKE, IN A DAZE.

I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
I WAS GONNA SAY.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
I WAS GONNA ASK EXACTLY.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW...

I JUST KEPT, LIKE,
MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL,

AND I'M LIKE, "I AM HEADING
NORTH -- NORTHEAST.

I DON'T KNOW
MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

I'M JUST HEADING NORTH."
BUT...IT'S SORT OF --

YOU BETTER FIGURE OUT
WHAT YOU'RE GONNA ASK.

IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO ASK FOR HELP,

BUT THAT'S WHAT
I'M DOING, BASICALLY.

I CAN'T GET
A PERMIT THIS YEAR.

D&R JUST KIND OF [BLEEP]
A LOT OF PEOPLE

OUT OF PERMITS FOR ICE,
AND I WAS ONE OF THEM.

OKAY, WELL, THAT CLEARS
THINGS UP...

I GUESS.

WELL, THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE
A TEAM OF DIVERS COMING UP,

AND I NEED SOMEBODY
WITH A PERMIT

SO I CAN GET [BLEEP] DONE.

OKAY, SO THAT'S
WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO

IS THAT YOU GOT HOSED IN
THE PERMITTING DEPARTMENT.

I HAVE A PERMIT.

AND RIGHT NOW,
THE MOST CONVENIENT PERSON

YOU CAN FIND
THAT HAS A PERMIT IS ME.

THAT'S THE SIMPLE VERSION.

THE OTHER VERSION IS THAT
I WANT TO BE FRIENDS AGAIN.

IF YOU'RE COMING HERE TO START,
LIKE, ESSENTIALLY

A MINING BUSINESS-TEAM-
PARTNERSHIP THING,

WE DON'T REALLY HAVE
A LOT OF TIME

FOR, LIKE, TOUCHY-FEELY
FRIEND STUFF.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

SO, WE'LL WORK ON
THE FRIENDSHIP PART,

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE,
LIKE, FROM A MUTUAL PLACE

OF RESPECT IF WE'RE GONNA
DO BUSINESS TOGETHER.

AT THIS POINT, I CAN'T,
LIKE, HAND YOU

A DONE-AND-READY ICE OPERATION
BY ANY MEANS, BUT I CAN HELP.

I CAN CONTRIBUTE
ANY WAY I CAN.

I CAN GIVE YOU
A TEAM OF DIVERS,

AND I CAN CONTRIBUTE
EVERY RESOURCE I HAVE

OR EVERY PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT I HAVE

TO WHAT
YOU'RE DOING OUT HERE.

LIKE, WAIT.
LIKE, WELL, I MEAN, OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW.
IT JUST SEEMS KIND OF, LIKE --

I HAVE TO INTERNALIZE IT
FOR A SECOND,

BUT IT WOULD BE A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT GEAR SHIFT FOR ME.

SO, PARTNERS?

OKAY. SOUNDS LEGIT.

OKAY.
OKAY.

SEE YA.
CHEERS. BYE.

Zeke: THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
EMILY IS NOT BRINGING TO THE
TABLE,

BUT EMILY IS SOMEONE WHO HAS
SUCCESSFULLY MADE MONEY

OFF THE MINING BUSINESS.

CAN WE USE EACH OTHER IN
A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL FASHION

TO WORK TOGETHER?

SHE HAS THIS LABOR FORCE
OF OTHER PEOPLE.

AND, HONESTLY,
WHEN IT COMES TO ICE MINING,

IT'S A LOT OF LABOR,
A LOT OF WORK.

THERE'S A GIANT POSSIBILITY
THAT I COULD DO A LOT BETTER

IF I HAD A BIG CREW OF DUDES.

Emily: I HAVE
AN OPERATION TO RUN.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T HAVE
A LOT OF [BLEEP] OPTIONS,

SO I CHOSE ZEKE.

Narrator: WHILE EMILY PATCHES
TOGETHER HER SEASON...

SIX MILES AWAY,
JUST WEST OF THE HARBOR...

WE'RE ALMOST IN THE WATER.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ASSEMBLE...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

LOOKING AT YOU.

DO THAT ONE
DAMN JOB, PLEASE.

I AM.
OKAY.

ALL WE GOT TO DO IS JUST WORK
TOGETHER AND GET THIS DONE.

Narrator: THE FLEET'S NEWEST
CAPTAIN, KRIS KELLY,

AND HIS LITTLE BROTHER ANDY,

ARE RIGGING UP THEIR FIRST EVER
WINTER OPERATION.

Kris: WE'RE CALLING OUR LITTLE
SETUP THE PADDY WAGON,

WHICH I THINK IS
A PRETTY COOL NAME.

IT'S A SIX-INCH POWERHOUSE.
EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE AWESOME.

Narrator: THE PADDY WAGON --
AN 8-BY-12-FOOT WINTER DREDGE

OF KRIS' OWN MAKING.

ANDY AND I SHOULD BE ABLE
TO PULL A QUICK 90 OUNCES.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NEVER REALLY
HAD GREAT SUCCESS AS A FAMILY.

IF ANDY GETS FOCUSED WITH ME,
WE'RE UNSTOPPABLE.

WE GOT HOT WATER.
WE GOT FUEL.

WE'VE GOT THE AIR.
WE'VE GOT THE ENGINE.

WELL, LET'S HURRY UP.

WE CAN STILL BEAT DAD UNDERNEATH
THE WATER IF WE HURRY.

ANCHOR AWEIGH.

Narrator: FOR MOST
OF THEIR ADULT LIFE,

KRIS AND ANDY HAVE WORKED
FOR THEIR OLD MAN, BRAD.

BUT -- BUT -- BUT -- BUT --
BUT -- BUT -- BUT -- BUT --

SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP.

BUT AFTER YEARS OF BEING USED...

THAT WAS 50%, BUDDY.

IT WASN'T THAT GOOD
OF A GOLD RUN.

[ BLEEP ]

...AND ABUSED....

Brad: WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: ...THE BOYS
HIT THEIR LIMIT.

Kris: PAYBACK'S A BITCH.

Narrator: AFTER ALL THE WORK
THEY DID TO BREAK AWAY...

RIGHT NOW...

I GOT A DIVER GOING DOWN.

GOOD FOR YOU.

DON'T HATE, APPRECIATE.

Narrator: ...THE KELLY BOYS
SURE DIDN'T FALL

TOO FAR FROM THE TREE.

THEY SET UP CAMP RIGHT NEXT
TO THEIR DAD'S OPERATION --

THE REAPER.

HE'S A LITTLE PISSED OFF
THAT WE'RE OVER HERE,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING
HE CAN REALLY DO.

WE OVERHEARD HIM SAYING
THAT HE WAS ON A GOOD CLAIM

AND HE HAD SOME GOOD GPS SPOTS
THAT HAD GOOD GOLD, SO WHY NOT?

JUST JUMP RIGHT IN AND DO WHAT
HE DOES TO US -- SCREW US OVER.

Narrator: WITH LIMITED MINING
GROUND UNDER BOTH THEIR FEET,

THE FIRST DREDGE IN
THE WATER TAKES THE GOLD.

Brad: ONE SMALL STEP FOR YOU.

ONE BIG STEP FOR THE REAPER.

IS HE UNDER THE WATER?
YEAH.

[BLEEP], MAN.
THIS SUCKS.

Narrator: FIRST OUT FOR DAD,
COMMERCIAL DIVER DAVE NELSON.

HEY, BOYS, HE'S ON THE NOZZLE.
HE'S WORKING IT.

HEY, PLEASE LEAVE ME
THE [BLEEP] ALONE.

DON'T BE UPSET.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE HAPPY FOR ME,
WANT TO SHARE IN THE JOY.

LET'S GET THE [BLEEP]
OUT OF HERE.

KRIS SHOULDN'T HAVE QUIT,
NO MATTER WHAT.

A LOT OF THINGS PISS HIM OFF.
HI, BABE.

FIRST OF ALL,
I GOT A GIRLFRIEND

THAT'S YOUNGER
THAN BOTH OF THEM.

HI.
HI, MINI BUMPKINS.

THIS IS THE SMALLEST KELLY.

NIA KELLY.
LOOK AT HER.

I HAD ANOTHER BABY BEFORE
EITHER ONE OF THEM DID.

THAT PISSES THEM OFF.

YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T PLAN
ON ANY OF THAT.

IT'S JUST GOD PUT ME
ON THAT PATH.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU BELIEVE IN
THAT [BLEEP].

HOW'S THE SUCTION?

DOES IT FEEL
LIKE WE HAVE ENOUGH?

Narrator: WITH A HOT-WATER LINE
TO PREVENT HYPOTHERMIA

AND A POWERFUL SUCTION HOSE,

MINING UNDER THE ICE IS
AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT JOB...

WHAT DID YOU SAY?
YOUR LEFT NUT HURTS?

Narrator: ...ESPECIALLY
IF YOU WORK FOR BRAD.

DIVER OUT OF THE HOLE.

THAT'S LIKE TWO MINUTES IN.

ARE YOU OUT ALREADY?

Andy: OH, HE'S TAKING
HIS GLOVES OFF, HE'S DONE.

HEY!
HOW'S IT GOING?

YOUR DIVER'S
LOOKING GREAT, MAN.

[ LAUGHS ]

WHAT WAS THAT?
FIVE MINUTES?

JUST FIVE.

HEY, MAN!
GREAT JOB, DUDE!

Narrator:
AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES,

THE OLD MAN'S FIRST REPLACEMENT
FOR HIS SONS IS A WASHOUT.

BABY NIA COULD HAVE GONE DOWN
AND PROBABLY DOVE A LITTLE MORE.

HE HAD SOME EAR PROBLEMS,
THIS PROBLEM.

NO, I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.

THAT'S CALLED
CHICKEN-[BLEEP] PROBLEMS.

Narrator: IN NOME,
CHICKEN-[BLEEP] PROBLEMS

AREN'T EXACTLY NEW PROBLEMS.

AND VERNON ADKISON THINKS
HE'S FOUND THE SOLUTION.

Vernon: ALL RIGHT, DIVER DOWN.

OKAY.

Narrator: IT'S ALL SYSTEMS GO

FOR THE NEW $100,000
SUPER DREDGE.

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH
RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

A LITTLE NERVOUS,
BUT THAT'S GOOD.

IT'S HEALTHY NERVOUS.

Narrator: ON THE CONTROLS,

VETERAN MINER AND CREW CHIEF
DEREK McCLARTY.

EVERYBODY READY?

DEREK -- HE'S AN ALL-ROUND
HEAVY HITTER.

HE'S LIKE A ONE-MAN A-TEAM.

WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO,
HE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT.

VERN?

ALL RIGHT.

HANDS AND FEET
INSIDE THE RIDE.

GOING DOWN!

HEY, BOBBY, DO YOU HAVE IT
IN SIGHT?

I GOT IT IN SIGHT, VERNON.

IT'S MAKING
ITS WAY DOWN NICELY.

Vernon: ABOUT HOW MANY FEET
TO GO?

YOU GOT ABOUT 10, 12 FEET.

10 TO 12 FEET TO GO.

OKAY.
JUST KEEP US POSTED.

COPY THAT.

JUST RELAY WHAT HE SAYS, OKAY?

FOUR FEET.

Vernon: FOUR FEET.
IT'S ALMOST ON THE BOTTOM.

Narrator: USED IN HARBORS
IN THE LOWER 48,

THE SUB DREDGE HAS NEVER BEEN
TESTED IN CONDITIONS

AS BRUTAL AS THE 25-DEGREE
BERING SEA.

Bobby: EASY.

ALL RIGHT, TOUCHDOWN
ON THE LEFT TRACK.

AND TOUCHDOWN
ON THE SECOND TRACK.

E.J.?

I WISH I HAD SOME CHAMPAGNE,
NOT TO BREAK.

Narrator: SAFELY ON THE BOTTOM,
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH HAS ARRIVED.

ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE GONNA TO START DIGGING.

E.J.: SHE'S RAMPING UP.

Bobby: OKAY, PUMP'S GOING.
SHE'S GOT SUCTION.

HOW'S IT LOOKING OUT THERE?
OVER.

NOZZLE'S DOWN.

GOING TO WORK.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S, UH...

JUST DISREGARDING
THE BIGGER MATERIAL

AND TAKING EVERYTHING ELSE
UNDERNEATH IT.

OH, YEAH.

NICE.

THAT WATER'S DIRTY.
THAT'S A GOOD THING.

IT'S PUSHING A HECK OF A LOT OF
MATERIAL THROUGH THIS BOX --

MORE MATERIALS
THAN I'VE SEEN BY FAR.

OH, YEAH, THIS IS FANTASTIC.
THIS THING'S MY --

THIS THING'S MY NEW BUDDY.

Vernon: ALL RIGHT, BOBBY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: WITH THE INITIAL TEST
A SUCCESS,

NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER

OF WHETHER THE MACHINE
WILL CAPTURE THE GOLD.

Vernon: WELL, THE SUB DREDGE
IS EXPENSIVE.

PROBABLY COST ME ABOUT 20 GRAND
JUST TO GET IT UP HERE.

FINGERS CROSSED IT'LL WORK.

Narrator: IN THE CITY OF NOME...

AT THE POMRENKE WORKSHOP...

LET'S GET THIS STUFF LOADED UP,
MARKED OFF,

PACKED UP,
AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

Narrator: ...MR. GOLD
IS PREPPING

TO RISK HIS MINING SEASON
AND HIS LIFE

100 MILES FROM SAFETY ON
THE HUNT FOR THE MOTHER LODE.

THE FUTURE IS ALWAYS SCARY
AS A GOLD MINER.

BUT GOLD MINING
IS ALL ABOUT TAKING RISKS.

AS THE EXPEDITION LEADER,

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T
FORGET ANYTHING AND ARE PREPARED

FOR ANY SITUATION THAT COMES.

JUST IN CASE WE HAVE
ANY CLAIM JUMPERS.

I'VE GOT MY LITTLE
PTARMIGAN KILLER HERE.

[BLEEP] ME.

[ LAUGHS ]
LOADED.

WHAT'S GOING ON, GUYS?
COME ON, CORA.

CODY.
WHOO!

YEAH, YOU CAN'T LEAVE
THE DOGS AT HOME.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND.

OH, YEAH.

OH, ALMOST FORGOT THIS.

HUH?
CAN'T FORGET THE FLAG.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING OUT

AND CHASING THIS DREAM
OF GOING TO THE BLUFF.

THAT'S A BIG RISK AND SPENDING
A LOT OF MONEY DOING IT,

BUT HOPEFULLY, IT PAYS OFF BIG.

Narrator: EQUIPPED WITH A SMALL,
SIX-INCH SUCTION DREDGE,

TWO DIESEL TANKS,
AND ENOUGH FOOD

AND SUPPLIES TO HOPEFULLY LAST
THE THREE-MAN CREW...

WE GOT A REAL HEAVY LOAD
WITH ALL THIS FUEL

AND ALL THE MINING GEAR.

Narrator: ...THE JOURNEY
INTO THE WILD BEGINS.

Shawn: I'M GONNA LEAVE ALL
THE SCRAPS FOR THE BOYS HERE

WHILE I GO DOWN TO THE BLUFF
AND GET RICH.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

Narrator: ON THE OUTSKIRTS
OF TOWN...

HELLO.
HEY.

HELLO, EVERYBODY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WOW, THIS IS NICE.
THIS IS COOL.

OH, THANK YOU.

Narrator: ...AFTER STRIKING
A DEAL WITH EMILY...

THIS IS MY TEAM OF
BEAUTIFUL FEMALE DIVERS.

...ZEKE GETS HIS FIRST LOOK
AT HIS PROMISED LABOR FORCE.

THEY'RE ALL FEMALE.

I DON'T KNOW IF
I NEEDED TO SAY THAT.

HI.

I WAS JUST LIKE,
YES, THEY ARE CHICKS.

I DECIDED TO BRING THREE
FEMALE DIVERS UP THIS SEASON

BECAUSE WOMEN ARE
EQUALLY TENACIOUS.

SOCIETY HAS TO GROW
OUT OF THIS NOTION

THAT NOME BELONGS TO MEN.

AND THIS IS SHELBY.

SHELBY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

SHELBY HAS PROBABLY MORE
EXPERIENCE COLLECTIVELY

THAN ALMOST THE ENTIRE HISTORY

OF GOLD-DIVING MINERS UP HERE.

SHE'S ACTUALLY, LIKE,
A CERTIFIED RESCUE DIVER.

I DON'T THINK THAT ZEKE IS EVEN
DIVE CERTIFIED AT THIS POINT.

THIS IS KENDALL.
HEY.

KENDALL, I REMEMBER YOU
FROM 8th GRADE.

I REMEMBER YOU.

KENDALL AND I GREW UP
IN HOMER TOGETHER.

SHE WAS A FISHERMAN'S DAUGHTER
AND A FISHERMAN HERSELF,

SO I KIND OF FIGURED
IT WOULD WORK OUT.

YOU KNOW, TRANSLATE EASILY FROM
FISHERWOMAN TO GOLD MINER.

THIS IS JEN.
ALL RIGHT. HEY, JEN.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

Emily: JEN HAS THE LEAST
AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE,

BUT I FUNDAMENTALLY BELIEVE THAT

IT'S THE CHARACTER
THAT MAKES THE DIVER.

AND I THINK THAT JEN
HAS THAT CHARACTER.

WELL, I MEAN,
I DON'T REALLY KNOW

HOW DOWN TO BUSINESS
TO GET.

I DON'T WANT TO, LIKE, TRY TO
DISCOUNT ANYONE'S EXPERIENCE,

BUT, LIKE, THE DREDGING
DEPARTMENT OF DIVING

IS JUST KIND OF LIKE
IT'S OWN ANIMAL.

I HAD A GUY,
LIKE, ALMOST DIE.

HE WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION
TO WHERE HIS TETHER WAS.

YOU KNOW, COULDN'T BREATHE.

TRIED TO GET
TO THE SURFACE.

COULDN'T GET TO THE SURFACE,
AND, LIKE, IT GOT UGLY.

IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MAKE US
FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE?

I DON'T KNOW WANT TO SCARE
ANY OF YOU GUYS.

IF YOU GO UNDERWATER,

YOU'RE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
FOR YOUR OWN LIFE.

MM-HMM.
THAT'S HOW I SEE IT.

LIKE, IF YOU GUYS ARE UP
FOR RISKING YOUR LIVES

TO GET SOME GOLD,
THEN THAT'S AWESOME.

Zeke:
THEY LOOK ALL RIGHT TO ME.

THEY'RE PRETTY LADIES.
I'M DOWN FOR THAT.

I LIKE LADIES.
WHAT CAN I SAY?

WHETHER OR NOT THESE LADIES
ARE GONNA PROVE THEMSELVES

TO BE HARD WORKERS AND GOOD
DREDGERS IS YET TO BE SEEN.

MAYBE THEY'LL MAKE ME
SOME MONEY, MAYBE THEY WON'T.

BUT IF THEY DON'T
MAKE ME SOME MONEY,

THEN I CAN JUST FIRE THEM,

AND I CAN JUST GO MINING
BY MYSELF AGAIN ANYWAY.

IF WE GET MY SHACK
OUT ON THE ICE,

WE COULD BE UNDERWATER,
AND WE COULD BE PUMPING GOLD

THROUGH THIS SLUICE BOX
AND MAKING MONEY.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START TOWING
[BLEEP] DOWN TO THE RIVER, THEN.

Narrator: WHILE TEAM CLARK PREPS
TO HEAD OUT TO THE ICE...

EIGHT MILES TO THE WEST,

ON THE STILL-UNFINISHED
PADDY WAGON...

OKAY, LET ME THINK OF
HOW I'M GONNA DO THIS.

FOR HOURS, THE KELLY BOYS
HAVE BEEN RACING

TO GET THEIR RIG UP
AND RUNNING...

DON'T GET ANGRY, KRIS.
DON'T GET ANGRY.

...AND BEAT THE OLD MAN
TO THE GOLD.

THERE IT IS.

DAD'S GETTING
ANOTHER DIVER DOWN.

AS FOR BRAD, AFTER A WHOPPING
FIVE-MINUTE FIRST DIVE,

HIS CRACK TEAM IS READY
FOR ANOTHER GO.

THIS TIME, A SECOND ROOKIE
DIVER --

BYRON COE.

THAT LOOKED LIKE
A PROFESSIONAL ENTRY TO ME.

I'M ON THE BOTTOM.

HOW'S IT GOING, BYRON?

IT'S GOING.

I'M DOWN TO THE HARD PANS.

I FOUND THIS GUY
AT THE BAR, DUDE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
HIS SKILL LEVEL IS,

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S SUCKING
A LOT OF O2 DOWN THERE.

SCARED.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

YOU CAN HEAR IT IN HIS BREATH.

LISTEN TO HIM.

SOUNDS LIKE HE'S SLEEPING
AT THE BOTTOM.

YOU OKAY DOWN THERE?

OHH, GOD, MY HEAD HURTS!

Brad: WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOUR HEAD?

YOU GETTING A SINUS
SQUEEZE OR SOMETHING?

I FEEL LIKE MY RIGHT EYE IS
GONNA BLOW OUT OF MY HEAD.

OH, IT HURTS LIKE A BITCH.

I GOT MY SECOND DIVER DOWN.

THE FIRST DIVER DIDN'T PAN OUT.

THE SECOND DIVER, I DON'T THINK
IT'S WORKING OUT, EITHER.

OHH!

OHH, MY HEAD'S GONNA EXPLODE,
IT FEELS LIKE.

THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS.

FINALLY, I GOT
AN OPERATION GOING,

AND I GOT BOZO THE CLOWN
DOWN DIVING THE FIRST TIME.

YOU KNOW, I --

CAPTAIN, THAT'S ALL I GOT.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

IT'S HARD TO LISTEN
TO THIS [BLEEP].

IT'S WORSE THAN LISTENING
TO MY KIDS.

[ BLEEP ]

[ BREATHING RAPIDLY ]

AAH!
AAH!

Brad: PULL HIM IN! RED ALERT!
HURRY! PULL HIM IN!

Narrator: OFF THE COAST OF NOME,
AT THE REAPER...

[ BYRON BREATHING RAPIDLY ]

AAH!
AAH!

Brad: PULL HIM IN! RED ALERT!
HURRY! PULL HIM IN!

Narrator: IN 25-DEGREE WATER,

CONDENSATION FROM BYRON'S
HEAVY BREATHING

HAS FROZEN SHUT HIS REGULATOR,
CUTTING OFF ALL OXYGEN.

Brad: PULL HIM IN QUICK!

THESE DIVERS --
THEY DON'T MEASURE UP.

THEY SUCK. I NEED MY BOYS BACK.
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

Narrator: WITH BOTH DAD'S DIVERS

FAILING TO EVEN STAY
ON THE BOTTOM...

THE FIGHTIN' KELLY BROTHERS
STILL HAVE A FIGHTIN' CHANCE.

WE'RE [BLEEP] HERE, FIRST DIVE,
FIRST HOLE, 10 OUNCES [BLEEP]!

THERE GOES BRAD
AND THE MARIACHI BAND.

AS YOU CAN SEE,
WE'RE A LITTLE BIT OUTNUMBERED.

GET DOWN THERE, MOP UP
IN FRONT OF DAD'S SHACK

AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

WELL, START PUNCHING A HOLE,

AND LET ME KNOW
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

[ LAUGHS ]

SOUNDS GOOD. RIP IT APART
AND SEE WHAT'S THERE.

MY DAD'S ALREADY GONE HOME,

SO HE MIGHT HAVE BEAT US
UNDER THE WATER FIRST,

BUT WE'RE GONNA GET
THE MOST HOURS FOR TODAY

AND THE MOST GOLD, SO I'M NOT
REALLY WORRIED ABOUT IT.

OH, GREAT.

Narrator: A VETERAN DIVER,

KRIS' TACTIC
TO AVOID FREEZE-UPS --

USE THE HOT-WATER LINE IN HIS
SUIT TO THAW THE REGULATOR.

YEAH, I'M OKAY.

HOLY [BLEEP] THOUGH.

HOLY [BLEEP].

WE'RE GOOD.

FREEZE YOUR ASS OFF
AND KEEP SUCKING IT UP.

Narrator: WHILE THE KELLY BOYS
GET DOWN TO BUSINESS,

500 YARDS AWAY,
AT THE WILD RANGER...

Vernon: THE GOLDEN SEA HORSE.

WE GOT TO GIVE IT A PAINT JOB.
IT NEEDS TO BE GOLDEN.

Narrator:
...VERNON'S GOLDEN SEA HORSE

IS WRAPPING ITS FIRST DAY
UNDER THE ICE.

THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES
IN THIS SORT OF THING.

IT'S NEVER BEEN USED UP HERE,

AND IT'S NEVER BEEN USED
FOR MINING GOLD.

IT COULD BE THE BEST THING
THAT'S EVER HAPPENED UP HERE.

Narrator: AFTER HOURS OF MOVING
DIRT, THE BIG QUESTION...

WE'RE CLEANING OUT
THE TEST MAT RIGHT NOW.

WAS IT PAY DIRT?

THERE'S GOLD IN THE BOX.

GOOD TEST MAT.

THAT'S THE BEST THING
I'VE SEEN

SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE ICE.

WE'RE STARTING TO GET SOME GOLD,
THAT'S FOR SURE.

THIS IS PRETTY EXCITING
BUSINESS FOR ME.

THIS MACHINE HAS THE POTENTIAL

FOR MAKING ME
A VERY WEALTHY MAN.

WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOX.

Narrator:
OUTSIDE NOME'S CITY LIMITS...

[ SINGING OPERA ]

Narrator: ...FRIENDS-TURNED
RIVALS-TURNED-PARTNERS

EMILY RIEDEL AND ZEKE TENHOFF
HAVE FORMED AN UNEASY ALLIANCE.

BUT WHETHER THEIR CO-CAPTAINCY

WILL SUCCEED OR CRASH AND BURN
IS ANYBODY'S GUESS.

Zeke: EMILY OPERATES PURELY
OUT OF SELF-INTEREST,

AND THAT'S FINE.

IF I LOOK AT EMILY FROM
A POSITION OF, LIKE,

"EMILY, YOU ARE A BUSINESSWOMAN.

YOU WILL ALWAYS MAKE
THE BEST DECISION FOR EMILY,

AND THAT'S FINE,"
THEN I CAN WORK WITH THAT.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO PRETEND THAT
EMILY'S GONNA BE MY FRIEND

'CAUSE SHE NEVER WILL BE.

Emily: THERE'S NOTHING HERE
THAT CAN REALLY STOP ME.

YOU CAN ROLL WHATEVER PUNCHES
YOU CAN AT ME,

BUT I'M JUST GONNA KEEP GOING

'CAUSE I'VE SEEN THEM
ALL BEFORE.

[ SINGING OPERA ]

OHH!

Narrator:
40 MILES OUTSIDE NOME.

YEAH. I DIDN'T WANT
TO GET THIS THING STUCK.

Narrator: AFTER SIX HOURS
OF TRAVELING THROUGH THE BUSH,

SHAWN IS MET

WITH THE EXPEDITION'S
FIRST BIG HURDLE.

Shawn: BUT ONCE I GET IT GOING,

I AIN'T GONNA STOP
UNTIL I GET UP ON TOP.

READY!

GOOD!
WHOO-HOO!

GOT IT!

NICE JOB, GUYS!

WOLF TRACKS RIGHT HERE
BIGGER THAN MY FIST, MAN.

THOSE WOLVES ARE HUNGRY
RIGHT NOW THIS TIME OF YEAR.

WELL, LET'S GET THE HELL OUT
OF HERE BEFORE IT COMES BACK.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: JUST EAST OF NOME.

[ SINGING OPERA ]

OHH!

Narrator: THE WINTER MINING
SEASON IS IN FULL SWING...

Narrator: ...WHILE ZEKE
AND EMILY HAVE HIT

A RELATIVELY MINOR SNAG.

Zeke: WELL, EMILY BROKE THROUGH

THE ICE HERE,
AND WE'RE STUCK.

I HOPE WE DIDN'T BREAK A SKI.

Narrator: LENDING HIS TALENTS
TO THE TOWING EFFORT --

EMILY'S DAD, STEVE.

WHAT'S WORSE THAN ONE RIEDEL IN
A WORK SITUATION IS TWO RIEDELS.

THAT'S JUST THE WORST.

UH, YEAH.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED
TO HOOK UP FROM THE BACKSIDE

AND YANK HER BACK
OUT OF THE RIVER

ON THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER
HOW TO TIE A BOWLINE?

'CAUSE I'VE FORGOTTEN.

IF I'M GONNA BE
WORKING WITH EMILY,

I HAVE TO TAKE A VERY FIRM
LEADERSHIP STANCE

AND MAKE SURE
THAT I HAVE A GOOD PLAN.

A GOOD, SOLID YANK FROM
THE SKANDIC

COULD PROBABLY PULL US
BACK OUT OF THIS.

Emily: WELCOME TO THE WORLD
OF LOGISTICS IN ICE MINING.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA NEED
EVERY ABLE-BODIED WOMAN...

OR DIVER, RATHER --

I'M SO SORRY.
HOW SEXIST OF ME --

TO PUSH THIS THING OUT.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE READY.

YAY!

WHOO!
THAT WAS AWESOME.

WE MOVED IT.

IT'S A BLOOMIN' MIRACLE!

WHOO!

WHOO-HOO! WOMEN!

WHOO!

Narrator: WITH TEAM CLARK
BACK ON TRACK...

SIX MILES WEST...

AT THE PADDY WAGON...

HOW MUCH YOU SEEING?

Kris: DAD HOOKED US UP
WITH A HOT SPOT.

HE MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO FIND THE GOLD HIMSELF,

BUT HE NEVER HAS
BEEN ABLE TO ANYWAYS.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL DOWN HERE
RIGHT NOW, DUDE.

COME UP.
I'LL MEET YOU AT THE HOLE.

COMING.
COMING UP.

FIRST GOLD.

HE'S SEEING FLAKES,
SO EVERYTHING'S GOING GOOD.

Narrator: THOUGH THEY LOST
THE RACE TO GET UNDER THE ICE,

KRIS AND ANDY ARE LOOKING TO BE
THE FIRST KELLYS TO GET PAID.

Kris: THAT'S A BIG FLAKE.

WE'RE FIRST ON THE GOLD!

Narrator: IN THE KELLY FAMILY
GOLD MATCH,

ROUND ONE GOES TO JUNIOR.

PADDY WAGON FIRST
ON GOLD THIS SEASON.

EVERYBODY ELSE
CAN [BLEEP] OFF!

100 MILES EAST OF NOME...

COME ON, COME ON.

Narrator: ...AFTER TRAVELING
THROUGH THE NIGHT,

FOR SHAWN AND THE BOYS...

AND THERE IT IS.
THERE'S THE BLUFFS.

Narrator: ...THE END
IS FINALLY IN SIGHT.

Shawn: BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.

YEAH!

WHOO!

I WANT TO GET WET.
I WANT TO FILL OUR POCKETS UP,

HAVE A COUPLE POCKETS
FULL OF GOLD WHEN WE GET BACK.

NUGGETS, MAN.
SOME NUGGETS.

WE AIN'T GONNA GET
NO DAMN GOLD

SITTING ON THE TOP
OF THE MOUNTAIN HERE.

WE BETTER GET OUR ASSES
DOWN THERE.

YOU READY?

YEAH!

DOWNHILL FROM HERE.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO VENTURE
OUT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER,

GET AWAY FROM EVERYBODY.

YEAH, IT'S A HELL
OF A LOT HARDER,

BUT THAT'S WHY I'M A GOLD MINER,

FOR THE ADVENTURE OF IT.

I PLANNED ON IT BEING
A LONG TRIP OUT HERE.

YOU WANT IT TO JUST GO SMOOTH
WITH NO PROBLEMS,

BUT YOU ALWAYS HAVE PROBLEMS.

YOU GET STUCK.
THERE'S A COUPLE HOURS.

LOOKING FOR A BIG SLAB OF GOLD.

I AIN'T JUST OUT
FOLLOWING THE CROWD.

I'LL LET THEM TRY TO FOLLOW ME.

AND THEY WANT TO TRY
TO FOLLOW ME OUT, COME ON.

I'LL PICK YOU UP
ON MY WAY BACK TO TOWN.

Narrator: WITH THE SEASON
JUST UNDERWAY,

THE WILD RANGER AND PADDY WAGON
ARE FIRST TO BANK GOLD.

Man: HE'S COMING IN TO LAND.

WHO THE HELL'S THAT?
YEAH!

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET UNDERWATER.

YEAH!

Woman: STOP! STOP!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

WHOO-HOO!

JUST [BLEEP] LEAVE,
PLEASE.

WHATEVER, DUDE.

Kris: GOLD IS DOWN HERE.

GOLD!

[ LAUGHS ]
