Moonshiners (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 12 - Shine 'Til You Drop - full transcript

As far as what we do
And why we do it, it's a legacy.

I used to think,
Boy, those old-timers,

They've been fortunate.

You know, what they've witnessed
In their lifetime

Is just unreal.

Then finally, it settles in,

And I'm getting to be
One of those old-timers.

Maybe somebody along the line
Will benefit

From something we do.

We come out here,
And we have fun.

We make a little liquor,



And that might open some eyes,

And they realize,
Hey, it's here.

We might as well embrace it.

Narrator:
It's mid-september, and as
Temperatures begin to drop,

Things are only heating up
In moonshine country.

Digger: yeah, we need
To get it on out of here.

From tennessee
To deep in the bayou.

[ siren wails ]
-oh.

Narrator: distillers are firing
On all cylinders

To meet their goals
Before the cold weather hits.

In north carolina, two shiners
Need to come up for air.

Jeff: mark?

Mark?

Mark?



And in south carolina...

Don't brothers
Forgive each other?

...Can an apology
Rescue a partnership?

I apologize,
Bottom of my heart, man.

I still want to be
Your friend.

I really wished
You'd come back to work,

And I don't know
How else to put it.

I'm so far behind in the season,
It's ridiculous.

Kind of need to get on the ball,
Get this thing done.

Narrator:
In the palmetto state,

One shiner is trying to make up
For lost time and revenue.

This ain't like, every time
Me and josh build another still,

It'd just be bigger and bigger
From the previous year.

We were cranking off
About 125, 130 gallons per run.

Well, stuff didn't work out
Exactly like we planned it.

I'm gonna beat your ass,
*bleep*

All right, man!

Narrator: after their
Volatile relationship

Finally hit a breaking point.

[ screams ]

Bill is standing up
As a solo shiner

While josh hasn't yet found
His footing.

[ screams ]

Josh:
I really wished I could go back
To that day and take it back.

I'd rather have my partner here.

Come on, bruce.

Narrator:
Bill is prepared to make
Less shine this season,

But josh is sticking to
His original 1,000-gallon goal.

He's got 300 gallons
Of a secret family liquor recipe

Called cherry bounce
Fermenting back at the bunker,

But he'll never hit his numbers

Without building
A bigger still pot.

Josh: I'm gonna be making
Cherry bounce,

And this is
Just the first batch.

I don't know how
I'm gonna do it by myself.

The only way I'm gonna get
Caught up this season

Is if get this still up
And going.

Me and bill got into it

When we were trying to finish
This cape on here.

Everything had been
Going pretty smooth,

But we ended up getting
At each other's throats.

That baby's a little over --
It's 3'3" across.

Phew.

That means that cape has got
To be a lot bigger than that.

I'm not a math superstar.

I don't know geometry
And trigonometry and stuff.

It's gonna be really hard

To build a cape
For this thing by myself.

[ ringing ]

I need bill for this.

The mailbox is full

And cannot accept
Any messages at this time.

Goodbye.

Bill: I mean, I'm definitely
Not gonna make

Near as much money
As I made last year.

You know, I can crank out a lot
More liquor with a bigger still,

But I'm okay
With downsizing my operation.

I figure I'm gonna have
About a 12-gallon pot here.

I should get almost -- about
2 1/2 gallons per run per pot.

So, if I can pull off
5 gallons,

I mean, that's 500 bucks
For a couple days' work.

All righty.

I think about ready to put
The bottom on this thing.

[ chicken clucks ]

This is gonna be damn impossible
To do by myself.

If I can't,
I'm just gonna go back

To shining with a smaller pot.

I really need to get this thing
Up and going.

It's one of those times where
A partner would be really handy.

[ ringing ]

I'm sorry, the person you were
Trying to reach has his...

The numbers I got for bill
Are disconnected.

Crap.

Yeah, me and old digger,
We finally got packed up here.

We're headed to the woods
For a few days.

Narrator:
Over in tennessee, it's the
Final weeks of the season,

And two shiners
Are forced to relocate

To a new remote still site.

Mark and I decided
We'd better take heed

And leave out of town
For a little bit,

So we both feel like we'd be
Better suited to step off,

Get in the mountains.

Narrator: this sudden move was
Compelled by a flash flood

That hit their still site

And washed away
150 gallons of mash,

Destroying weeks of hard work.

This is crazy.

They're still 100 gallons short
Of their season goal,

And the only way
To finish strong

Is by going back to basics.

We're gonna make a
Run of this corn whiskey.

Ramsey: oh, yeah.

I believe you've hit
The mother lode.

Damn, digger.

You've done it again,
Brother.

Well,
Let's unload that gator.

Digger: I've been
On this property before,

And I just happened to find out
Who owned it.

He didn't mind us
Being on there.

You sure you know
How to drive this rascal?

I'm fixin' to learn.

All right.

It's real secluded.

It's a huge tract of land,
6,500 acres.

We don't have to go too far
In there to be hid.

I'm gonna hang onto this,
So it don't bounce out.

I got a hold of it.

You got a hold
Of the cooling tub?

Yeah, I got it.

Whoa! That's fun.

Whoa, whoa, looky here.

By god, we're at the end
Of the line, baby.

-what do you think about this?
-oh, yeah.

I think this'll be
The ideal place for a campsite.

First rule of thumb
In camping.

Fix your damn bed.

Mine's the taj mahal
Of cots now.

Damn taj mahal,
I reckon.

He's down there
In damn patriot hills.

I'm up here
In the damn projects.

We make a bunch of money
Off liquor,

I'll buy you one of these
Myself.

Narrator: to ensure their
Small-pot still pumps out

The premium shine
They're known for...

This is gonna be something
New for us.

...They brought along
Some extra firepower.

Ramsey: we just built
This hoop burner.

It heats from the outside
Around the sides of the still

Instead of the bottom,

So there should be very little,
If any, danger

Of scorching the whiskey.

This is, altogether,

A new burner furnace
That we're gonna try.

Narrator:
Most shiners heat their still
With a burner from below.

However, this could easily
Scorch any sediment

That's settled to the bottom
Of the pot,

Which results in
Burnt-tasting liquor.

Mark and digger have solved
The problem by making a burner

That loops around
The middle of the pot

And sits inside a steel jacket.

This creates a furnace effect

That surrounds the still
With even heat,

Producing fast,
Scorch-free runs of liquor.

This is fit.
We'll just turn this up.

No, it looks like some sort
Of damn 1960s robot.

[ laughs ]

Danger, will robinson.
Danger.

That's what I was saying.

Mm-hmm.

700 miles to the west,

Two swamp shiners
Are on a hot streak.

Right now, we're going to
Where we stashed

Several
Of our moonshine gallons.

I got a dropoff
I need to do.

The customers wanted 5 gallons
Of my jalapeño shine,

So I'm excited about that.

In the last month, patti
And her dad, david,

Have cranked out their spicy
Jalapeño shine faster than ever.

This here's gonna be
The winner this year.

They've made 210 gallons
Worth around $30,000,

A little over halfway to
Accomplishing their season goal.

We're ready to get some money in
Our pocket, ain't we, daddy?

Now they're about to dead drop
A crate

Of their spicy liquor
For another 750 bucks.

Patti:
I like to do the dead drops

Because I'm not eye-to-eye
With somebody.

I just go and drop the shine,
Get my money, and I'm gone.

Don't fall.

Yeah, it is.

Ain't nobody ever think to look
Up there.

I never stash my shine
At the house.

I always stash it
In different locations.

I mean, if the law comes
To my place,

And I've got gallons of
Moonshine, I lose everything.

My house, everything we own.

Narrator: shiners have always
Found unique ways

To stash their white lightning.

From wichita county, texas,

One bootlegger turned
A coal-fired steam tractor

Into a mobile whiskey bunker

To harbor island, seattle,

Where a shiner packed
An entire brewing facility

Into a tiny houseboat.

In 1967, acting on a tip,

Federal agents found
An elaborate hooch plant

Hidden 17 feet beneath
A speedway in byron, georgia.

The sophisticated setup
Contained two fermentation tanks

Capable of producing 80 gallons
Of moonshine each day.

Its entrance was hidden
In plain sight

As a dummy ticket booth
Outfitted with a trap door.

I kind of like
Late at night drops.

People are sleeping, and --

[ laughs ]

There ain't nobody on this road
Tonight, is there?

They want 5 gallons of it,
That's getting a lot of it out.

Somebody's flying up here.

It's what it looks like.

[ siren wails ]

God dang it.

Narrator: coming up,
Jeff and mark introduce

A game-changing technique
For an old favorite ingredient.

Jeff: that'll sure
Put the flavor to her.

Yeah.

[ helicopter blades whirring ]

Ramsey: that's a little bit
Nerve-racking.

Mark and digger
Get a surprise visit.

They can still see
This shiny copper.

And josh makes a final plea.

I really wished
You'd come back to work,

And I don't know
How else to put it.

There ain't nobody on this road
Tonight, is there?

Narrator: back in louisiana,
Patti and david thought

They were making some easy money
On their midnight run.

I think somebody's
Flying up here.

It's what it looks like.

[ siren wails ]

God dang it.

Daddy.

We got 5 gallons
Of friggin' shine back here.

I don't know.

[ siren continues ]

Son of a gun!

[ laughter ]

Son -- look at that,
I'm shaking.

He must have got a call.

Boy, that was close.

Ain't never had no blue lights
Behind me like that.

I'm plum sick to my stomach.

I don't know if I want to
Drop this shine off.

We're gonna do it quick,

And we're getting
The *bleep* out of there,

And we're going home.

Patti: that's the closest
I've ever been going to jail.

We got lucky,
And I'm telling you,

I don't want to see
That again.

There's a little bridge.

I ain't scared.

Narrator: the dead drop is
A long-lasting tradition

That keeps all parties
Safely anonymous

By avoiding face-to-face
Transactions

Whereby a shiner drops liquor

In the same place
A buyer has left payment.

-is this it?
-yeah.

Yeah, I thought so.

Yep.

Sign on the left here.

He said he's gonna leave
My money

There on the edge
Of that bridge.

He says there's a crack.

There it is.

Let's go.

Patti: when you have some
Blue lights come up behind you,

I mean, it does cross your mind,

What the heck
Am I even doing this for?

I'm just glad
We didn't go to jail tonight.

Yeah.

Narrator: across state lines
In north carolina...

...Jeff and mark have moved
To the mouth of a cavern

Despite a lack of cover.

Running inside wasn't an option

Because the cave has dangerously
Low levels of oxygen.

Yeah, boy.

For most of the season,

Jeff and mark have been pumping
Out an appalachian scotch

That sells for $320 a gallon.

But with fall just weeks away,
And time in short supply,

They're switching up
Their game plan

With the fruits
Of a local harvest.

Yeah.

Jeff: that's what you call
100% peach juice, ain't it?

Yeah, it is.

Jeff and mark are applying
A mountain secret

To the traditional
Moonshine recipe.

Fruit infusion will give their
Liquor maximum peach flavor

Without compromising potency.

Rather than adding fruit
To the finished shine

Like most shiners do,

They're putting it
In the thump keg

So that alcohol vapor
From the pot

Will percolate through
The crushed peaches

And become infused with
The fruit's intense flavor,

Producing sweet,
Smooth peach moonshine.

Yep.

Yeah, that'll infuse it,
Won't it?

Yeah.

Get that off
The top of that.

I'm gonna go ahead and bring
This thump post back up.

Jeff, I believe
I'll fire that pot up.

-fire it up.
-I'm gonna fire him up.

Yep, this is a moment of truth
Right here.

I've about got him
Pasted up.

Mark!

I believe we're running,
Ain't we?

She's a-running, boy.

Narrator: this run netted
Jeff and mark 15 gallons

Of high-quality peach moonshine.

Which can retail
For over $3,000.

Yep.

There we go.

Yeah.

[ gasps ]

[ laughs ]

Back in the deep woods
Of tennessee,

Camp's set up,
And liquor is ready to be made,

But this morning, mark and
Digger are off to a slow start.

Well, we're just a tiny bit
Groggy today.

Mark and myself got oiled up
Pretty good last night.

First night camping is always
The damn throwdown.

Me and digger, we got drunk
Something fierce.

Come on out of there.

I about got you
Some breakfast going.

Oh, god almighty.

We would have rolled on through
The whole camping trip

Like this back in the day,

But we're just
Not up to it now.

Whoo, the damn ground
Keeps a-moving.

Them taters,
They're really good today.

Oh, yeah.

[ helicopter blades whirring ]

They can see
This shiny copper.

*bleep*

Oh, hell, get over here.

Narrator: coming up,
Patti won't back down.

Patti: there ain't gonna be
No deal-making.

Narrator: and it's man against
Nature in south carolina.

Every one of my mash barrels
Is washed down the creek.

It's rotten as *bleep*

[ helicopter blades whirring ]

Digger: they can see
This shiny copper.

Narrator: back in tennessee,

Mark and digger have awakened
To some unexpected guests.

Ramsey:
How can we be so lucky?

I mean, we're in the middle
Of damn 6,500 acres here.

It's a pot chopper,
There ain't no doubt about it.

To combat marijuana farming,

Police employ helicopters
To hunt weed growers,

And while mark and digger
Don't have pot,

If caught with illegal
Distilling equipment,

They could face
Up to six months in jail.

Here we are, first thing
Early in the morning.

My head's a-pounding.

The helicopter's above us.

Regardless
Of what they're looking for,

We're found, you know.

Narrator: after their run-in
With the authorities,

These shiners are pushing deeper
Into the woods.

Hmm.

Right here's a dam.

I love this site.

Yeah, that old pipe,
They run a --

Whoop, no dancing now.

-I wonder why it's called
A slicker.
-you made it.

[ laughs ]

Yeah, I'd love to sit
That pot right here,

Put our thump keg here,

Come right here
With our cooling tub.

Gravity will flow that water
Right down here to it.

Yep.

I'll be damned.

You know,
There ain't no rocks --

Yep, there we go.

[ laughs ]

Digger:
Mother nature's got her beauty,
But she's got her bite, too.

When we get this pot in there
And get it set up,

We're gonna build
A run of mash in it,

And we're gonna ferment it
In the pot itself --

The old-fashioned way.

-damn, digger.
-yeah, boy.

I'm gonna go up here and try to
Get that hose behind that dam.

Narrator:
A key component in making shine
Is cold, fresh water.

Not only is it an ingredient
In mash,

But it also cools the condenser.

Digger: instead of using
A pump this time,

We're just gonna
Gravity-feed our water.

We get this hose full,

The force of gravity coming down
Will take it on down the line.

There it goes.

And there you can see
Our water starting.

We're gonna let this corn steep
For two or three, four hours,

Then we'll top 'er off with
Good, cold water,

And we'll pitch our yeast
Until the ferment.

In a few days, we'll hope to
Make good liquor out of it.

Turn it on.

-okay.
-you got it.

Patti:
We might make it on time.

Just depends on
If there's any cops out.

I don't want to go fast,
Speeding,

With this
In the back end of it.

I'd rather lose
That sale than go to jail.

Narrator:
Patti and david are about
To get one step closer

To their season goal
With a $600 sale.

But it's never easy money
For an illegal shiner.

This bridge here?

Patti: you know,
This being a new customer,

Daddy thought it would be good

For him to get out of the truck
And kind of stand off.

Me and my daddy's got a bond.

We've had one ever since
I was just a little old girl.

I know daddy's got my back
Just like I am him.

This is the nervous part
Of the job right here.

Including taking it
Down the road,

But this here to me
Is a lot more nervous

'cause I'm meeting up with
Somebody I don't even know.

You got the money?

Yeah, I got your 12 quarts.

No, you told me 12 quarts.

There ain't gonna be
No deal-making.

Just 'cause
I'm a woman moonshiner,

This guy here trying to --

I think he thought
He was gonna get over on me.

You want the 12 quarts or not?

Okay, you gonna get
No deal for nothing.

You either get the quarts,
Or you don't.

I ain't giving him no deal,
And I don't care.

He's getting what he wants,
I'm getting what I need.

I ain't taking no crap off
Of no guy or anybody else.

And there you go.

Don't be telling me you want 16,
And I bring you 12.

You need to get
Your stuff straight.

Thank you.

I actually had to see
This person face to face.

I don't like doing that,

But to try to get new customers,

I might have to do that
A little bit.

He didn't.

He never saw you, huh?
That's good.

He said I need to give him
A deal on 16 quarts.

[ laughs ]

I told him
I ain't gonna give him crap.

Josh: come on.

Come on.

[ clicks tongue ]

We had torrential rain.

It's the most rain
We've had recorded

Since the weatherman started
Recording the weather.

I'm just hoping that this
Cherry bounce is not destroyed.

This one from the record books,

Being described
As some of the worst flooding

In the history of the state
Of south carolina.

Some areas of the state have
Seen more than 2 feet of rain.

Holy crap.

Narrator:
Hidden in josh's bunker

Is over 250 gallons
Of cherry bounce mash --

An old family recipe
That could fetch a premium.

Josh: that flood washed
Part of our site away.

Narrator: but mother nature
May have foiled his plan.

It damn near washed
The whole thing away,

But the bunker's still here.

Holy crap.

It was a damn disaster.

Phew. Washed my propane tanks
All the way down here.

That's a damn predicament.

Really lucky
The still's not destroyed.

Phew.

Just about washed it away.

You could see where the water
Was flowing over this

Like a riverbed
That's done went dry, see?

But every one of my mash barrels
Is washed down the creek.

I got one barrel sitting here.

It's rotten as *bleep*

Phew, damn,
That smells terrible.

Narrator: the rotten smell
Is a pungent reminder

Josh has lost more
Than just mash.

Josh:
This mash in here is rotten.

That's got to go.

I can't stand the smell of that.

I lost $400 or $500
Just in mash here.

Wild cherries and honey
Is not cheap.

Narrator: all that could have
Become $4,000 in liquor sales.

It's pretty disheartening to
Come down here to my still site.

After getting into it with bill,

Having to come back down here
And do all this work by myself,

It just kind of makes me feel
A little bit like a failure.

I'm a week and a half away from
Being able to make liquor again.

We're just back to ground zero
On making mash and stuff again.

That's a damn predicament
Is what that is.

I'll just get it later.

When it comes time to doing
All that hard work

And all that digging
And toting grains

And toting liquor, making deals,
Doing bootlegging.

[ grunts ]

It's almost more
Than one man can handle.

Whew.

I flew hot-headed.

I lost my temper,
And I made a mistake.

Who does that to a friend?

Who beats the hell out of one of
Their friends, you know?

Or one of their brothers,
You know?

I want my brother to come back.

I want to make money
With my brother,

And I want to make amends
With my brother.

This is ridiculous.

Ugh, talk about sour mash.

Holy *bleep*

Narrator:
Coming up, mark and digger
Gamble on their new still.

Ramsey: we ain't got no idea
If it's gonna work or not.

And cave-running leaves jake
And mark gasping for air.

Mark? Mark!

Mark.

Me and you both.

Yeah, it will.

Narrator:
After three restful days,

Mark and digger's mash
Is ready to run.

Time to put their new burner
To the test.

[ farts ]

Whoop, I stepped on a duck
There somewhere.

I smell it.

Get these out.

Yep. It's dead.

We haven't heard or seen
Another helicopter.

We feel if they were gonna be
In here on us,

They would have been here
By now,

And our mash is ready.

We're gonna go ahead
And light this hoop burner.

You know, I'm always looking
For something new,

And if we can come up
With something

That nobody else is doing,

I think
It's gonna work out fine.

We ain't never had
No burner like this.

We ain't got no idea
If it's gonna work or not.

Well, we better cap it.
That thing's gonna get hot.

It's gonna get hot
In a hurry, digger.

What I like about it is,
If we're fermenting fruit,

We're fermenting corn,

It gets the majority of the heat
Up off of the bottom

Where the solids are,

Where it would scorch
And burn the mash

And turn out poor liquor.

Where is the fire stick?

I believe
It's in your pocket.

That'd be a good place
For it.

Crank that son of a gun.

Yes, you did.

Went my other three hairs.

Is it burning all the way
Around, digger?

Yep. It am.

Narrator:
The placement of the coil burner
Around the middle of the pot

Means the particles sitting at
The still's bottom

Won't be scorched,

Allowing for a cleaner-tasting
Liquor to be produced.

Your ass is rotted.

Yeah, you smell like
The perfume counter

At the miller's five and dime,
Too, yourself.

We got to be on our toes.

That'll make liquor probably
An hour quicker

Than we're expecting.

I know it.
I believe that.

There ain't no doubt.

That --

Oh, hell.

You better be on the lookout,
Buddy.

There's gonna be liquor out
Of there in just a minute.

Yep.

It ain't gonna be long.

Yonder comes the drip.

You see a drip?

Yeah, I did.

Get mr. Coon picker ready.

Watch that coon picker
Wiggle.

It's fixing to come out
Of there.

There we go.

Yeah, that's about
The right size.

Uh-huh.

Like to do that
All day long.

We consider our camping trip
Pretty good success.

That's high liquor
Right there.

That's 100, ain't it?

Yeah, that's 100, 105.

There's a little there.
I count a little shine.

Narrator: this potent yield
Puts the whiskey count

For these moonshiner
Mountaineers 10 gallons closer

To reaching their season goal.

Ramsey: yeah, you know,
Everything was outstanding.

The hoop burner, just another
Feather in my bonnet, I think.

That'll get you in a hitch,
Won't it?

Yeah, bud.

Jeff:
It's burning, mark.

-you got 'er going?
-yep.

Narrator: across state lines
In north carolina,

Jeff and mark are finally
Hitting their stride,

Having successfully pumped out

Another 75 gallons
Of their signature peach shine.

I'm gonna cap 'er off, want her
To start building steam.

Well,
It's about ready to run.

Get ready to bite the heat off
This a little bit.

-okeydoke.
-it's hot.

Uh-oh.

That's a good sound
To hear running.

I'm gonna pour it out.

Lot of liquor right
There.

Yeah,
I'd say that's plenty.

Hey, jeff?

Yeah.

It is?

-yeah.
-well, turn the gas off.

Narrator:
Their burner has created
An oxygen-depleted environment

At the cave's mouth,

Just as dangerous
As the one at its depths.

For security, jeff and mark
Have been stashing their shine

In a hidden recess of the cave.

Mark? Mark!

Mark!

Coming up,
A partnership is on the line.

I really wished
You'd come back to work,

And I don't know
How else to put it.

[ insects chirping ]

Ramsey:
Ain't nothing like trying
To cook liquored up, hardly.

Nuh-uh.

Boy, I'm telling you,

Ain't nothing like doing
Anything liquored up.

Lard makes
The whole world rotate.

[ farts ]

You stepped on
That poor frog.

Oh, god love it.

I'm sorry, little frog.

[ burps ]

Ooh, damn.

About like --
[ farts ]

[ laughs ]

-[ farts ]
-damn it.

I got the behind.

Honest to god, I didn't know
Where you was at.

[ farts ]

Oh, you're
A sorry bastard.

That's mr.Sorry bastard
To you.

Lay the rock right here
In case you get notice.

I'm glad our friends can't see
Us all liquored up here,

Acting stupid.
-shh. Damn.

Narrator:
Back in north carolina...

...Jeff and mark's
New still site

Is literally taking
Their breath away.

Mark? Mark!

Mark!

-huh?
-you all right?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm good.

[ exhales ]

As their burner consumed
The limited supply of oxygen

Sitting at the cave's mouth,

Jeff and mark are left with
Little air to breathe.

[ pants ]

They're in a bad situation.

130 gallons short
Of their season goal,

And no place
To run their liquor.

Right now I'm on my way
Down here to bill's.

I've called him
And begged for forgiveness.

I've done everything
But come down here.

Narrator: in south carolina,
The fate of one of the state's

Most fruitful
Moonshining partnerships

Hangs in the balance.

I'm just hoping and praying

We can come
To some sort of resolution

And go back to make shine
Together, you know?

Narrator: ever since
Josh and bill came to blows,

Josh has been struggling
To get back on his feet.

Josh: I'm telling you,
He's hard-headed.

I crushed my hand
Hitting him in the head.

You tell me.

Just hard to get along with
Sometimes,

And you know,
I'm the first one to admit

I'm hard to get along with.

Don't brothers
Forgive each other?

This is my last chance
To render things.

One way or another, after today,

I'm gonna know whether
I need another partner or not.

Oh *bleep*

What's up, brother?

How you been?

Pretty good.

What you been up to?

Cooking a little bit,
Working a little bit.

Back swinging a hammer.

I just wanted to say I'm --

You know, I'm sorry
For losing my temper.

Well...

I don't blame you
For being mad at me.

I'd be mad at me, too.
I'm mad at myself.

I -- I ain't really mad
At you.

No, really,
I'm not mad.

I don't want vengeance.

I hope you the best,
And I wish you the best.

I think we'd be better off
If we go back to work together,

But if you don't want to,
I understand.

But I really, really hope
You'll reconsider that.

Bill:
I ain't gonna lie to you.

I lost a bunch of sleep
Over this.

I still got a family
To take care of,

And I still got my bills to pay.

Financially,
It's gonna put me in a pickle,

Have to be out on my own.

I mean,
It's a difficult decision.

I apologize from the bottom
Of my heart, man.

I still want to be
Your friend.

I don't want to have
Any hard feelings,

And I really wished
You'd come back to work.

I don't know how else
To put it.

As far as me and you making
Liquor together...

Narrator:
Next time on "Moonshiners"...

We cannot make any more whiskey
Until we fix the drainage ditch.

Time is running out for tim.

I don't think we're gonna
Make the order.

Narrator: a dead drop
Gets deadly in louisiana.

That's it.

Patti: let's go.

Hurry up.

[ gunshots ]

*bleep*

Damn.

Yeah, we got to get
All the equipment we need

To finish this mash up.

And chico bets
On the wrong horse.

Oh!

Ohh!
