Moonshiners (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 13 - Still Regretting - full transcript

Autumn's arrival
Has leaves falling

And the temperatures dropping

As moonshine season
Enters its final stage.

But while the clock
Is counting down,

Mountain stills area revving up.

And as the season wears thin,

The copper master
Shows off his talents.

* oh, me and my wife
And a stump-tailed dog *

In red river parish...

Let's just do it
And get out of here.

...Moonshine
Is the most dangerous game.



*bleep*

And in kentucky,
Horseplay turns rough.

* no one can hold me down *

* or make me change my ways *

* so don't waste your breath
Saying *

* crime never pays *

* we're going for a ride *

* running to survive *

* and living outside the law *

* we're living
Outside the law *

This is how
We make the moonshine!

Well, right now, I'm on my way
Down here to bill's.

I just feel like it's time
To look him square



In the eye, man-to-man, see
If we can't squash this thing.

In spartanburg,
South carolina, one shiner

Is trying to pick up the pieces
Of his broken partnership.

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.

It's been weeks

Since josh and bill
Came to blows...

Keep running *bleep*

...And they still
Haven't spoken.

It's gonna be really hard
To build a cape

For this thing by myself.

I need bill for this.

The last month of shine season

Is fast approaching.

And in order to revive
His shot at a fortune,

Josh needs to finish
His 400-gallon still,

But he can't do it
Without bill's help.

What's up, brother?

I just wanted
To say I'm, you know,

I'm sorry for losing
My temper and, you know...

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

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

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 wish
You'd come back to work

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

As far as me and you
Making liquor together...

...You know, I just got to find
Other options these days.

I don't hold a grudge
Against you.

I'm not mad at you,
And I forgive you,

But I just can't work
With you no more.

I know how you are, so I already
Had you pegged, you know.

Well, I don't know what else
To say except for, you know,

If you want to come back,
I'm there.

If you don't,
That's fine, too.

I don't know
What else to say.

I'm sorry, man.

We worked together
For a long time.

I figure something
Like that happens,

That was pretty much
Just the end

Of the business relationship.

You too, man.

I wish him the best,
But I just kind of got to focus

On what I need
To be doing these days.

Come on, girl.

I didn't know
What to do, you know?

I didn't even
Know how to --

I feel so stupid.

My plan now
Is turn my operation up,

That I'm gonna
Be making cherry bounce.

I am going
To take it to another level

And I'm gonna make
A lot of money doing it.

But I feel,
Like, pretty sad,

Because, you know, it's kind
Of like an ending of an era.

In louisiana,

A series of high-proof
Jalapeño shine runs

Has put patti and david

Within striking distance
Of their season goal.

What is this?

That what
You're talking about?

But there's trouble
In paradise.

You know,
When we got this location

This year,
We were here by ourselves.

And then all of a sudden

We have this fracking
Well comes up.

We're worried about how clean
Our water's gonna be now,

But so far it hasn't messed
With our water down there,

But they fracked over there
Where my daddy lives

And actually messed up
Their drinking well.

The fracking well
That was put up a quarter-mile

From patti and david's
Still site

Is quickly closing
Their window of opportunity.

This point in the season,
It's just too late to pack up

And start over in a new spot.

Mmm, I smell it.

Oh, it's sweet and hot
All at the same time.

You need me to lift that
Up for you?

You act like
You're straining there.

Or we could be
A little bit taller, huh.

This run should net them

Six gallons
Of fiery jalapeño shine

Worth a cool $900.

You got the striker?

This year's
Stressful for me.

I need to make some money.
I also need to be home.

I can't do nothing
About it right now,

But I will.

All righty.

Now it's just
A waiting game, ain't it?

Yep.

Yeah, I'm glad he taught you
A little bit about it.

I heard stories growing up
With him and kind of put

All that together,
And this is where we're at.

Yep.

Yep.

It'll be coming out
Shortly.

It's coming out.

Oh, yeah.

It smells really good.

I always take about
Two or three ounces

Of the head off
Every time you run.

All right.
I guess I could check the proof.

Shiners use hydrometers
To measure

The alcohol's strength,
Or proof.

Patti and david
Are counting on a proof

Of 140 or above

To ensure they have
The maximum amount

Of market-strength shine
From this run.

It's getting
To the end of season

And time's running out on us,

So we're hoping to get

Some high-proof runs
Out of these barrels.

It could get our stash
Even bigger

And help us get
Through the winter months

And keep us on track
With our customers.

160 proof.

Yeah!

Oh!

It don't take but a sip.
oh, dog.

This run here is the best
We've done this season.

Heck, it tastes
Pretty dang good,

So I'm thinking it tastes
The best we've ever made.

That's what
We're looking for.

Daddy's happy,
I'm happy,

And we're fixing to make
Some customers happy,

But this fracking well,
It kind of puts us on edge.

We have to figure out a way
To try to sell all this stuff

And get back
To running shine.

Time's running out on us.

This is what's so special
About climax moonshine.

We grow the corn
Right here in the field

Right beside the distillery.

This is kind of handcrafted,
Homegrown right here.

You can't get no better
Than this.

For some,
The virginia countryside

Is a calm, quiet place

Where time
Almost stands still...

We got a lot to do,

And those bottles
Are piling up over there

At the packing station.

Time is money, you know?

...But at virginia's
Oldest craft distillery,

Tim smith and his partner chuck

Don't have a second to spare.

It's like the more
We do, the more we get behind.

Got to go a little faster here
So I can get caught up.

Tim made the biggest move
Of his career

When he signed a massive deal

With a major
European distributor.

To meet
The extraordinary order...

Look at that tank.

...He's gone all-in

With the purchase
Of a new 4,000-gallon still.

Until it arrives,
Chuck's running

His trusty copper work horse
To keep ahead.

Tim said he was gonna be here
To help today.

By god,
He better hurry up.

And with the mash stores
Running low, it's up to tim

To bring in the corn crop
To keep them on schedule.

I went ahead of myself
And I got all these orders,

And, you know, chuck says,
"Hey, I can do it.

We can do it.
We can make the moonshine."

And chuck's making
So much of my moonshine

That we done run out of mash.

If we're gonna get
The 10,000 cases done,

Then we got to get the corn
And we got to mash it in.

While other distilleries

Source their corn
From industrial farms,

Chuck grows
The organic sweet corn

Needed for tim's recipe
Right on his property.

The one thing
About growing your own corn,

You know the quality of it,

You know
The condition of your soil

That you planted in,

And you can kind
Of watch it grow.

So you can just about calculate
How your moonshine's gonna be.

I mean, you can't get
No better than this.

Something ain't working right.

What's going on
With this thing?

Can see right there
That the belt --

There's something
Wrong with the belt.

I'm gonna have to go see
What's going on with this thing.

Oh, man.

It's getting ready
To rain, too.

Heavy rains are on their way

And harvesting wet corn
Is a recipe for disaster.

If we don't get the corn
While it's dry,

Then it actually molds,

So we got to get the corn
Before the storm comes.

The combine
Has broken down completely.

It may take days

To order the parts...

...And got
This big order from poland.

There's no more minutes left.

You know, it used to be hours,
Now I'm down to minutes.

You know, it's kind
Of like I'm always

Behind the 8-ball all the time

And I got things just getting
More complicated by the minute.

Coming up,
A virtuoso tunes a still...

Easy, son.
Easy.

...And four horseshoes
Don't give chico any luck.

It's been kind of
A hard season for me.

I spent most
Of my season having problems.

I'm just now starting
To overcome them.

As the season
Reaches the home stretch,

One shiner
Is far behind the pack,

But he's still in the race.

I expect everybody's
Gonna love this cherry bounce,

But right now, I need some help
Putting this pot together.

Well, I'm gonna need somebody
That knows what they're doing.

He's got
The secret family liquor recipe

Called cherry bounce,

But he'll never hit
His original 1,000-gallon goal

Without building
A bigger still pot.

Hopefully the old master
Will help us get it together.

What are you doing,
Old boy?

That dodge won't
Pull much, will it?

I'm telling you!

How you doing?
Good to see you.

I said I hope
He brings cutie pie.

There she is.

Looks like he
Gave you a bath,

Honey, ain't he?

I don't know
Any other coppersmiths

Raised a candle to jim tom.
He's the man.

Jim tom has been
Fashioning stills

Longer than josh
Has been alive,

And there's no build
He can't handle.

Perfect.

When you need a hand,
Why not go to the best?

All right, jim tom.

Let me show you
What we got here.

Oh, yeah.

How do you like
That baby?

Feel how heavy-duty
That is.

Unh-unh.

A still's cone-shaped cape

Connects the pot
To the cap.

Even for able-bodied shiners,

It's the trickiest
Part to build.

I really need your help,
'cause my hand's messed up.

I don't have anybody
To help me right now.

Me and bill done parted ways
For a while.

I don't know
What's gonna happen there,

What do you think?

Good shape.
How long do you think

It'd take to build a cape
For this thing?

Should do it in about
Three or four hours.

All right, buddy.

So, what,
You gonna get a measurement

All the way across it
To see how around it is?

The cape's fit
Allows no margin for error.

One small mistake
Means alcohol vapor will escape,

And, with it,
Josh's profits.

So simple on a fit,

You never seen the way
It's so damn hard to figure out.

I know it.

Still gots to go in.

For a cape this large,

Jim tom
Needs to cut semi-circles

From two separate sheets
Of copper...

...That will be
Soldered together.

Won't you know
It'll start pouring.

I've never seen so much rain
In all my life, have you?

Golly.

Most shiners prefer to build
A paper model of the cape

Before attempting it
With copper,

But the seasoned veteran
Skips this step entirely.

We knew
When we come up here

To start building this still,

We knew that the cape
Was gonna be aggravating.

That's a big-ass cape.

Any time you build a still,
The cape's a pain in the butt.

You and your wife
And a stump-tailed dog?

* oh, me and my wife
And a stump-tailed dog *

That's what
I'm talking about!

We got to get
All the equipment we need

To finish this mash up.

Deep in kentucky's
Bluegrass country,

Two shine lovers are blazing
Their own whiskey trail.

Rope, handy, yes?

Yeah, I need that.

After his partnership
With tyler hit a dead end...

Tired of it!

Y'all have a good day.

...Chico turned
To a new plan

That keeps it
All in the family.

Oh, my god.
It's not gonna fit.

Even for
Experienced shiners,

Hitting a 150-gallon goal

This late in the season
Is no walk in the park.

You got the yeast,
Right?

Yes, I've got
The yeast.

To beat the odds,
They're sticking

To a classic corn-shine recipe
They can make quickly.

Me and sandra finally found
A still site that suited us.

You know, it's
Far enough off the road.

We got good water,

But just like every other
Good still site that's safe,

It's hard to get to.

She made a comment
That she wanted a pack mule.

Light bulb
Goes off in my head.

Hey, big daddy.

I might not have mules,
But I've got horses.

They can pack well over
Half of his body weight,

So he'll have
Absolutely no trouble

Getting the materials
To the still site.

Everybody wants to talk
About 4-wheelers

And stuff like this.

The first all-terrain vehicle
Was a horse.

Yeah. 4x4.

Do you want me to start
Bringing stuff over here,

Like the rope?
Yeah.

Yeah, go ahead.
That'd be great.

First thing
You done today.

You're a special kind
Of funny.

You think you're smart.

This has given me really

A lot more appreciation
For what he does.

There's a lot more work
That goes into this.

It's not all just fun and games.

When you're sitting
Around a bonfire

Sipping on a jar of shine,
You're not thinking

About the work
That goes into this.

You know this is
My horse, right?

I know.
We don't like you.

Oh, yeah, right.
He loves me.

I feed him
Whatever he wants.

Yeah,
Once or twice a week.

I do it
The rest of the time.

Chico's shine operation

Isn't the first to bring in
A four-legged partner.

As late
As the 20th century,

Horses and mules were used
To haul shine and supplies

To still sites
Inaccessible by car.

One horse became infamous
Among alabama lawmen

After appearing
At three separate still raids

In a single month,
Only to escape every time.

In 1955, a mule

Was even put on trial
By revenue agents

After it successfully
Warned its owners

Of an impending sting.

Declared guilty,
It was sentenced to a life

Of hard labor
On a deputy's farm.

You got everything?

Yeah.

All right.

Okay.
You're unsnapped.

Easy.
There we go.

For the first trip,
They're carting

Several hundred pounds
Of grains, sugar, and gear

They'll need to mash in.

I didn't think
It would be

This hard of work,
You know?

It's hard.

We're already
Behind right now.

You know, it's late
In the season.

We need to be in
The woods making real liquor.

We need to start making money.

Yeah.
Especially ones like sarge.

Easy, son.
Easy.

Oh *bleep*

Coming up...

I cannot make
Anymore whiskey

Till we fix
The drainage ditch.

...Tim is in hot water.

Don't think
We're gonna make the order.

I didn't think
It would be

This hard of work,
You know?

It's hard.

Thank the good lord
For big critters.

Yeah.
Especially ones like sarge.

Kentucky shiners
Chico and sandra

Thought they were
Back in the saddle...

Easy, son.
Easy.

Oh *bleep*
*bleep*

Okay. I can't --

I'm really trying here.
Ooh -- ow!

*bleep* damn.

I'm stuck.

Come here.
Let me see.

You all right?
Yeah.

You gonna make it?
Yeah.

Mm, scare you?

You all right?
I'm not hurt.

It's just --
Scared you?

Yeah.

Far from easing their burden,

Going by horse may have saddled
Chico and sandra

With hefty medical bills.

We're gonna go
To the hospital

And get checked out.

I'm pretty scraped up.

We haven't even gotten
To the still site yet

And I'm on my way
To the e.R. With her.

On the car ride, you know,

The thought of my kids just
Keeps popping up in my head.

What would they do
Without one of us?

Let alone what would they do
Without both of us?

If you want
To go back,

But I won't ask you to.

Don't say that to me
Right now.

Want to find somebody
Else to help me?

I didn't just fall off him
For nothing --

To just quit.

All right.

My hat's off to her

For her gumption
To want to move on.

I really appreciate her
Standing behind me through this.

But are we better off apart,
You know, at this point?

So, is enough enough?

I mean, have we hit that point

Where I need to send
Her back home

And look for somebody else?

We're just
Getting started.

Hard, ain't it?

I know y'all don't know,
But this is very important

To get this thing going.

Oh, we'll get it.

It's very important
To get this thing going.

We will get it.

Back in culpeper,

The future of tim smith's
Moonshine business

Rests in the hands
Of two mechanics.

Anytime you're working outside
With the weather,

You know, you're dealing
With the elements.

Yeah.

And right now is
The time to do it.

You heard the saying
"Burning daylight"?

Yeah, well, we burning it up
Right now.

All we need to do now
Is grease them to fit.

He's got to gather
The corn quickly

To keep his mash reserves
From running dry...

Want to put them shields
Back on real quick?

Yeah, put it on,
'cause I got to get

This big monster going.

...And the repairs
Have already cost him 24 hours.

Sir.
Thank you, sir.

I can go to work now.
See you, tim.

Tim's in a race

To beat
An approaching rain front.

A soaked harvest
Could become a breeding ground

For toxic bacteria.

The whole problem here --
I'm trying to get the corn

Out of the field
Before the weather comes,

And I got to get the corn
To make the moonshine.

Tim's poland deadline
Is looming large.

If his mash ingredients
Don't survive,

His business could be next.

Hey, hold on, chuck.

Chuck?

We got
The combine going on.

Okay.

Chuck called me up

And he tells me
About this problem.

Hey! Tim!

What's
Another problem, chuck?

Let me show you
What the problem is.

We got the hot water
Coming out the still,

But anyway, it's not
Going down the drain.

It's going on
Down to the fields.

This is the drain
For this.

This is a trap.

All the solid stuff --

The cornmeal -- stops here,
And the water goes in there.

So right now,
The water's overflowing

And going down there,
Making a mess.

Instead of flowing
Onto the soil

Or into a nearby stream,
Hot waste water

From chuck's still empties

Into a trough connected
To an underground outflow pipe

Which carries it
To an underground storage tank

Located next to the distillery.

Over time,
The pipe has become clogged,

Flooding the still house
With scalding water.

I cannot make
Any more whiskey

Until we fix
The drainage ditch.

What are we
Gonna do, tim?

Every time
We start doing something,

Something else happens.

And then we get behind
On that.

And then something else happens
While we're working on that.

This is just something else
That's backing me up.

Man, it's always something
All the time.

Made a deal
With a guy over there in poland.

It's a whole lot more moonshine
That we got to make,

And if we don't fix the drain

I don't think
We're gonna make the order.

Coming up,
It could be the beginning

Of a beautiful friendship...

We gonna make
Some liquor together or what?

Make sure the money's
In there.

...And louisiana shiners
Take the money...

*bleep*

...And run.

This is crazy.

Back in north carolina,

The master is still showing josh
How to make the cape --

The toughest piece of the still
To build.

We got it.

Now it's all over
But the crime.

Wow.
We're cooking with butter now.

That's it
Right there, buddy.

If the seams
On the cape

Aren't soldered correctly,

Josh could be ending
His season with a bang.

Fire that.

All righty.

I love soldering.
Yeah, I do, too.

I got jim tom
To help me build my cape,

And someone's
Actually telling me

I'm doing things
The right way,

And they're looking at my stuff

And being like, "Man, I'd like
To have this for myself!"

This is awesome.

For the master to tell you
That this is the best

They've ever seen,
That's really saying something.

See what we're working with.

Jim tom, you
Are the damn man.

You know how hard
I'd have wrestled this thing

Without you helping me?

This is perfect, through.

I can't tell you how much
This means to me, man.

We'll have it.

Nobody else around

Knows their stuff
Like jim tom does.

You the damn master.

A dentist?

No, thank you.

Oh, crap.

That looks good, man.
I'm happy.

We just about
Got this licked already.

The hard part's over with.

We'll see
What it looks like.

Push that right up to
Where that's at right there.

And lock it down up here.

That's nice.

That's a dang whopper,
Ain't it?

I'm thinking
It's a whopper now.

Jim tom has his own method

For ensuring the cape fits --
The pop-and-lock test.

We've just about got
This thing done.

This is one of the hardest parts
Of building a still.

Okay, buddy.

Almost.

I like to hear
That last pop

When you pop that thing in there
And it locks.

But not quite.

There it is.
That was the last pop.

Yeah.

Boop!
You hear that last one.

It's pretty tight.

Yeah, you're saving
My dang season, I know that.

It means a whole lot more to me
That you helped me build it.

You know what I mean?

I appreciate you helping me,

And I'm gonna take it
A step further.

I want you to come
Make a run with me.

Listen, I got three freezers
Slap-full of damn cherries,

And I'm gonna make
Some cherry bounce.

We gonna make
Some liquor together or what?

Come run some fruit
With me.

Shake hands, we're going
Into the business.

Yes.
Hot dog.

Josh wanted me to come down
And help him run a run.

It barely fits
In the trailer.

So I told him,
"Come on up and get me."

I can't tell you

How much I appreciate
You doing this for me.

Oh, I love to do it.
I'm like you.

I love to do it.

'cause you get your envelope

And it's a lot thicker
Than it is

Just if you're
Selling one gallon.

On a desolate road
In northern louisiana,

Two shiners are cashing
In on months of hard work.

That's just more money
I keep from uncle sam.

Tax-free holiday, huh?

I got a drop-off
I need to do.

This guy here
Ordered six gallons

Of my jalapeño shine.

He told me there's
A piece of land up here.

It's got
An old deer stand on it.

No, it's not his place.

Apparently,
They ain't been leasing it out

Or nothing for hunting
Because it's all growed up.

We'll see.

All the shine
From their last run

Will be sold
In a single dead drop,

Earning them $900
In one fell swoop.

He said it was
By these bridges

And there's
A driveway by it.

He don't want to see us
And I don't want to see him.

So he left his money there

And we're just gonna
Put the shine in it

And pick it up.

Should I bring my pistol?
Yeah.

It's all kind of
Downsides of doing dead drops.

You can get ambushed
Or jumped -- anything.

It's all
Kind of dangerous.

Can't believe nobody
Ain't leased this place.

He said it was all growed up,
So I'm taking his word.

It's been
A couple days ago.

He said they ain't.

I don't know.

He said follow this
Up in here,

So we should be
Getting to it.

Somebody is...

He told me
It was growed up --

That nobody's
Been back here.

Call that sucker.
I am fixin' to call him.

Hey,
I thought you said

Where this deer blind is
That it was growed up.

It's mowed down.

Someone entered today,
Getting ready for hunting.

Most people
Don't own land here,

So they have to lease
It to be able to hunt.

We're fixing

To put shine in there
And get our money,

Then we're getting
The heck out of here.

All right.

What'd the sucker say?

He said this is it.
He said he was in here

Just a day or so ago
And it was all growed up.

He said his money's
In the blind.

I like to do the dead drops

To avoid anybody seeing us
Or anything like that.

You think we ought
To drop it or just leave?

Take it back with us?

Normally it's best
That you just leave the area

And then find a different
Location to drop off,

But with that fracking well
Going around our still site,

We don't have time for this.

With deer season
In red river parish

Just around the corner,
Many hunters

Are getting the jump
On claiming prime spots,

And they don't like company.

Make sure
The money's in there

Before we put it in there.
Count it.

There's the money
Right there.

Go ahead and count it.

It's there.

Let's just do it
And get out of here.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

*bleep*

Coming up,

It's all hustle
And no flow in virginia.

Did you get it?
No.

Yeah, we got
A mess now.

Hot dog!

That's freaking awesome.

What'd the sucker say?

He said he was in here
Just a day or so ago

And it was all growed up.

He said his money's
In the blind.

In northern louisiana,
Patti and david's shine

Isn't the only thing
Packing heat.

Hurry up.

*bleep*

Who was that?
I don't know.

It was close,
Whoever it was.

This is crazy.

Whoa.

Somebody shot
When we was in there,

And I don't know
If they was shooting at us

Or somebody
Was hunting back there.

Somebody's leasing it,
And he didn't know it.

When he was in there
The other day,

It probably was growed up.

You got the money, huh.

Yeah, I got the money...
Somewhere.

You ain't
Lost it, have you?

They've walked away

With cash in hand
And no lead in their backs.

Now all that stands between
Them and their 400-gallon goal

Is the foreboding presence
Of a fracking well.

Lord, have mercy.

Hiya, chuck.

As the light grows dim
Over belmont farm,

Tim's chances of meeting
His polish order

Are fading fast.

I see you getting ready
To get nasty now,

So I got my boots here.

Yeah, we're gonna
Get nasty.

Keeping up
With his commitment

Means pumping out
Over 1,600 cases a week,

But until they can clear
The clogged drain,

No whiskey will flow.

Right now we're
Kind of under the gun.

The guy
Over there in poland

Wanted a shipment
Done the end of october,

Which is coming up pretty close.

And 10,000 cases
Is gonna be a record for us

In a short period
Of time like that.

All right,
Here we go.

That's the problem
Right there.

Did you get it?
No.

Hell,
We got a mess now.

That's a nice
Little sprinkler system

We got going on here.

Okay.

We had to cut the pipe

And bypass instead of
Trying to clean it out.

You clean it out and it's
Gonna get stopped up again.

That's one way
To get rid of it, ain't it?

Yeah.
I can get it to you.

I'm plumbing,
Electrician, welder --

You want to run a still,
That's what you got to be.

You got to be
All of it.

You got to be
A little bit of everything.

We went ahead and just bypassed
That pipe and made a new pipe.

Get your fresh pipe
And a new 45.

Since this
Is different pipe,

We have to use
A rubber coupling.

Like that.

This is
4-inch thick pipe,

This is 4-inch
Thin pipe.

It doesn't fit, see?

So I have to put
A rubber boot on it,

And then this will
Go on to here.

All right.
So you see, now,

If it gets stopped up,
We can just come here

And unscrew it

And we can run
A water hose

Or something in there
And unblock the turn.

I don't have time
To be fooling with this drain.

I got the combine going,
It's getting ready to rain,

We got to finish
This harvest time.

When it's time to pick the corn,
You just got to get the corn.

Okay.

Let me get
This boot in there.

Do this like this right here.
That gonna work?

Yeah, that's
Gonna work, see?

Yeah.
All right, chuck.

Here we go.
See?

That did it
Right there, chuck.

That's pretty good.

That's it.

Go up there
And turn some water on.

All right, here I go.

And that's gonna
Fix this problem.

If it doesn't, somebody else
Gonna have to do something.

All right.
Water is running.

It's coming, chuck.

There it comes.
Hear it running.

Sounds like
Niagara falls in there.

Tim, you do fantastic work.
We're done.

How about that?
It's a wonderful thing.

We'll close it up
And then we'll be right.

We'll be right.
That's it.

You worked all day again,
And it's dark again, tim.

I know.

Everything's working good.

Chuck's happy,
And now I can get back on

To picking corn.

All right, tim.
Off to the next project.

Chuck's distillery
Is finally back in action,

But the lost hours
Are stacking up

Faster than the cases of shine.

To even up the score,
Tim is going into overtime.

It's crazy here.

I've been having
All kinds of problems.

You know,
The combine broke down first,

Then we got
The drain pipe stopped up,

And now it's 2:30
In the morning,

So I'm just trying to get
As much corn as I can.

Right now,
I'm extremely worried

That there's no way
We're gonna make it.

It's too much to do in
A short period of time.

If I don't make it,
Then I lose everything

I strived to try
To build in the beginning.

Who knows what tomorrow
Is gonna bring?

Next time, on "Moonshiners"...

You got a lot going on.

If you start rushing things,
You're gonna mess something up.

I don't want to
Mess nothing up.

...Tim's new still
Won't fit the bill.

I'd hate to see anything
Fall apart now.

In south carolina...

You gonna work on your trial
A little bit?

...The master takes a shine
To his new partner.

If I've ever seen a good set up
In the last 60 years,

This is one of them.

And in kentucky...

We're taking on water!

...Chico is back
On the wagon.

Never in my wildest dreams

Did I think
We could die doing this.

Oh, man. It's deep.
