GON' BE A GOOD DAY!
Dustin: THANK YOU. READY?
Paul: COMING DOWN.
Dustin: WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT THIS THING'S MADE OF.
Fred: ALL RIGHT, COMING UP.
OH, MY GOD! LOOK AT THAT!
Paul: THAT'S [BLEEP] SWEET, DUDE!
YEAH!
Carlos: THAT THERE IS A SUCCESSFUL TEST.
Man: HELL, YEAH.
LET'S SEE IF WE GOT ANY...
[ LINE SNAPS, THUMP ]
[BLEEP]
Dustin: GET HIM OUTTA THERE.
FRED!
Dustin: I NEED SOMEBODY TO CHECK OUT THE GRABOID.
IF THAT THING CAN WORK, I'LL MAKE IT WORK.
I ALSO NEED SOMEBODY TO GO DOWN
AND USE THIS THING THAT CAN'T SUE ME.
SLIPPERY AS HELL!
Paul: TAKE IT EASY!
Dustin: THAT'S WHY THEY CALL THEM ACCIDENTS, HUH?
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL NUGGET.
THE GOLD IS GETTING BETTER.
Carlos: [BLEEP] IT'S GETTING BETTER, MAN!
WE'RE GETTING A LOT CLOSER TO THAT BOTTOM.

Fred: WE'RE KINDA HOPING THAT BEDROCK IS BETWEEN 15 AND 20 FEET.
SO, WE'RE GETTING DOWN THERE.
WHAT IT DOES, IT -- UH, BEDROCK KINDA BELLIES OUT
LIKE THAT SOME WAY OR ANOTHER.
WE DON'T KNOW. AND, HOPEFULLY,
DUSTIN'LL TRY TO GET DOWN THERE,
JUST FOLLOW IT ALL ON DOWN.
AND THERE'LL BE A WHOLE WALL, THEN, OF ROCKS.
AND WE START JUST BRINGING THAT STUFF BEHIND US
AND, UH, GETTING DOWN AS FAR AS WE CAN ON THAT BEDROCK.
COME OUT TOWARD THE CREEK WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE,
KEEP COMING UP TOWARD THE [INDISTINCT].
WE'RE GONNA FIND GOLD!
WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT, THIS WEEK,
WE WILL FIND BEDROCK.
Narrator: HIGH IN THE CHILKAT MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHEAST ALASKA,
THE DAKOTA BOYS ARE SEARCHING
FOR A LIFE-CHANGING DEPOSIT OF GOLD.
START IT UP!
Dustin: ALL RIGHT. YOU READY, BOBBY?
EACH CREW MEMBER IS ON A SHARE.
BUT, JUST TO COVER THEIR RUNNING COSTS,
THEY NEED $50,000 WORTH OF GOLD.
WINTER IS FAST APPROACHING.
AND THEY'RE IN A RACE TO STRIKE IT RICH.
EVERYBODY LOVES TO SEE GOLD.
I THINK EVEN CARLOS WOULD LOVE TO SEE GOLD.
I JUST WANNA BE THE ONE TO FIND IT, MAN!
WOO!
BETTER HOPE I BREAK MY LEG OR SOMETHING
'CAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE STOPPING ME TODAY.
Narrator: JUST DAYS AGO,
CARLOS DREDGED DOWN 6 FEET IN THIS SPOT
AND FOUND HIS FIRST GOLD.
THEY ARE CLOSER THAN EVER TO A MASSIVE PAYDAY.
Justin: OH, [BLEEP] DAMN!
Fred: HEY, DON'T BE A WUSSY!
WE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE WE HIT WHITE WATER, MAN.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO DOUBLE THE WEIGHT.
EVEN THOUGH HE'S GOT A HEAVY WEIGHT BELT ON,
THAT'S GONNA WHIP HIM AROUND QUITE A BIT.
[BLEEP] DAMN!
I WANNA SEE SOME GOLD IN THAT BOX.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS TODAY?
I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK, GOOD HUNTING, AND GOLD.
LET'S GO!
LOOKING GOOD BACK THERE, REALLY GOOD.
Narrator: TEN FEET BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE CREEK,
DUSTIN IS DREDGING IN A STEEP-SIDED HOLE,
SUCKING UP ROCKS AND GRAVEL
TO GET DOWN TO THE GOLD HE BELIEVES LIES ON BEDROCK.
Fred: HEY, YA' GOTTA BE CAREFUL WITH THEM THINGS! [ Laughs ]
WHAT I ALWAYS DO.
GOTTA KNOW WHAT MY SURROUNDINGS ARE FIRST.
OKAY.
WHOA!
AW, [BLEEP]!
DUSTIN! WHERE YOU AT?
Paul: IS HE ALL RIGHT?
Fred: DUSTIN! WHERE YOU AT?
HEY, BRING HIM UP!
OH, [BLEEP].
YEAH, YEAH.
TIME TO TAKE A BREAK, MAN.
Richardson: YOU ALL RIGHT?
OH, [BLEEP] HE'S ALL WRAPPED UP, TOO!
YEAH, HE'S ALL TWISTED.
HOLY [BLEEP], THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL.
EASY, EASY.
Carlos: HOLD ON, HOLD ON. WE'LL DO THAT ONE EASY, EASY, EASY.
MINERAL WATER.
THERE YOU GO.
IT GOT ME, MAN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BAD IT GOT ME.
THAT'S A WAKE-UP CALL, BROTHER.
Paul: GET A CLOSER LOOK ANYWAYS, RIGHT?
OOH, IT IS TENDER.
I GOT HIT. THAT'S GONNA BE SORE, SORE.
MY WHOLE ARM HURTS.
SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME, IS WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
A ROCK CAME DOWN AND GOT ME.
IT HURT LIKE HELL.
AND, UH, BIG WAKE-UP CALL THERE.
YOU THINK IT'S FRACTURED? IT'S JUST A HURT MUSCLE.
IT'S STIFFENING UP ON ME.
YEAH, BUT YOU'RE TALKING IN 2 OR 300 --
COUPLE HUNDRED POUNDS FALLING DOWN OFF...
IT'S JUST MY LITTLE FINGERS.
GROUP HUG? NO, NO. TWO-SECOND HUG.
TWO SECONDS... WHAT THE [BLEEP], MAN?
IT -- IT HELPS, DUDE.
[ LAUGHING ]
THANKS, CARLOS. Richardson: WHAT HAPPENED?
Carlos: IT HELPS, RIGHT? I'M TELLING YOU.
IT'S CHICKEN OF THE SOUP, BRO.
CHICKEN OF THE SOUL OR SOUP OF THE SOUL,
WHATEVER THAT [BLEEP].
YEAH, IT DOES. IT WORKS. I KNOW.
I'VE BEEN IN THAT SITUATION.
HE'S FEELING MY PAIN, APPARENTLY.
OH, GOD.
WHAT A ROUGH DAY.
Fred: IT -- IT WAS SCARY.
I KNOW IT WAS SCARY FOR HIM.
THIS IS KIND OF A GRIM REMINDER
THAT, UH, THIS CREEK IS DANGEROUS OUT HERE.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE ON YOUR TOES AT ALL TIMES.
BUT WE ARE REALLY PUSHING THE LIMIT RIGHT NOW
ON WHAT YOU CAN DO.
YOU CAN BET THAT.
IT IS DANGEROUS DOWN THERE.
NOBODY SHOULD BE DOWN THERE.
IF ANYBODY'S GOING BACK IN THAT HOLE, IT'S ME.
I, UH, I'M GONNA JUMP IN.
UH, I CAN'T LET THIS DAY GO TO WASTE.
IT'S NOT THE SAFEST THING TO DO.
BUT I JUST -- I'M -- I'M GETTING ANXIOUS.
THIS COULD BE THE LAST CHANCE TO GET GOLD.
HE NEEDS TO RESPECT THE CREEK.
BECAUSE, IF YOU DON'T RESPECT THIS CREEK, MAN,
IT'LL BITE YOU IN THE ASS AT THE END, BROTHER.
Narrator: THE LARGE BOULDER THAT HIT DUSTIN
HAS FALLEN INTO THE HOLE,
BLOCKING HIS PATH TO THE GOLD.
Fred: ALL RIGHT. UH, THE CLAW IS COMING DOWN THE WALL
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DIVE STATION RIGHT NOW.
TRYING TO POSITION IT SO IT STAYS IN THE CLAW.
AND HE'S, UH, TRYING TO MAKE SURE
THAT IT WON'T FALL OUT.
YEP.
OKAY, WHAT DO YOU NEED?
IT'S COMING UP.
COMING UP. ROGER.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S HOLDING.
NOPE, IT CAME OFF.
[ GROANS ]
I THINK IF THE, UH, ROCK IS REALLY, REALLY ROUND,
AND, UH, THOSE ROUND ROCKS
JUST DON'T HAVE ANY HANDLES ON 'EM.
Narrator: DUSTIN CAN'T GET THE CLAW
TO HOOK BEHIND THE MASSIVE ROCK.
SO, WHAT'S YOUR GAME PLAN?
JUST THE CABLE BY ITSELF?
OKAY, COPY THAT.
'KAY. I'M SENDING THE, UH, SHACKLE DOWN TO YOU.
Carlos: COME ON, MAN! THIS'LL WORK!
COME ON! COME ON!
ALL RIGHT. TAKE THIS.
OKAY.
COME ON!
[BLEEP] DAMN IT!
[BLEEP]
ALL RIGHT, [BLEEP] THIS [BLEEP].
DONE WITH THIS.
IT'S SO BIG AND SO ROUND,
SO SMOOTH THAT IT -- IT'S A PAIN.
IT'S A PAIN BECAUSE THAT MAKES YOU
JUST WANNA JUST EITHER GO CRAZY
OR JUST END THE DIVE, YOU KNOW?
THAT ONE SINGLE BOULDER GOT INSIDE MY HEAD.
HOW BIG'S THAT [BLEEP], MAN? 'BOUT THAT BIG.
THAT BIG? HOLY [BLEEP]!
I LET ONE BOULDER BEAT ME.
IT JUST ATE MY BREAKFAST.
Narrator: IF THEY CAN'T MOVE THE BOULDER,
THEY CAN'T GET TO THE GOLD.
WHEW!
STAND OVER HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT.
WE GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO GRAB THEM ROCKS
AND PICK 'EM AND PULL 'EM OUT.
I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS IS CAVEMAN STUFF.
WE GOTTA SET SOMETHING UP BETTER.
TOUGH DAY AT THE OFFICE WHEN YOU CAN'T MOVE A BOULDER.
MY HAND IS ABSOLUTELY NUMB.
Fred: BUT THERE'S A REASONABLE AMOUNT
OF TIME YOU CAN SPEND ON A CERTAIN TASK.
WASTED A WHOLE HOUR OF TIME PULLING ON ONE DAMN ROCK.
I'M RUNNING OUTTA TIME.
WE'VE GOTTA GET A BETTER SOLUTION FOR THIS.
Narrator: UP AHEAD...
IT WON'T GO.
Dustin: CLICK ON IT SOME MORE.
YEAH. UP. UP.
[BLEEP]
HEY, FELLAS!
CHECK IT OUT! WHAT YOU GOT?
I GOT SOME FUN TOYS!
Narrator: DUSTIN HAS RETURNED FROM TOWN WITH A DEVICE
THAT COULD SOLVE HIS BOULDER PROBLEM.
LOOK AT THIS THING.
THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOD DANG NICE.
I KNOW MONEY'S TIGHT RIGHT NOW. BUT I HAD TO DO IT.
WE SPENT $3,500 ON THIS ROCK LIFT.
AND, UH, I THINK WHAT IT'S GONNA DO
IS IT'S GONNA SPEED UP MY PROCESS SO MUCH
THAT WE WON'T EVEN BLINK AT THAT $3,500.
Fred: LOOKS LIKE HELL, DON'T IT?
CALLING IT A GRABOID?
YOU KNOW THE LITTLE MACHINES THAT PULL UP TEDDY BEARS?
MM-HMM. YEAH, YEAH.
IT'S MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR LIFTING UP ROCKS.
I WAS WATCHING YOU GUYS THE OTHER DAY.
AND -- AND THE CABLE
JUST KEPT SLIPPING OFF AND SLIPPING OFF.
AND, UH, THIS WILL HELP US
GET THOSE ROCKS OUTTA THERE QUICKLY AND EFFICIENCY.
Narrator: DUSTIN'S GRABOID IS MADE UP OF THREE
TONGS CONNECTED TOGETHER BY A COLLAR AT THE TOP.
AS THE COLLAR IS RAISED,
THE TONGS PIVOT AND CLOSE AROUND THE ROCK.
THE INGENIOUS THING ABOUT THE PIVOT MECHANISM IS THAT,
THE HEAVIER THE ROCK, THE STRONGER THE GRIP.
WOW. WELL, THESE ARE THE JAWS, OBVIOUSLY.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA WORK FOR ME.
IT'S GOT A 30-INCH GRIP ON IT.
SO WE CAN GRAB UP TO 30-INCH ROCKS.
IT'LL SPEED UP MY PROCESS.
HOPEFULLY, THIS IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OUR STRUGGLES UNDERWATER.
YEAH, IF I CAN GET THAT PIECE OF TRASH ROCK OUT.
TO GET ONE ROCK OUT.
WE GOTTA GO SET UP SOME SERIOUS ANCHORS FOR THIS THING.
Y'ALL READY? Y'ALL WITH ME?
YUP. YUP.
'KAY. LET'S DO IT. GO GET SUITED UP.
Narrator: COUPLED WITH THE COST OF THE HELICOPTER LIFT
TO GET THE GRABOID TO SITE,
DUSTIN'S NEW DEVICE HAS SET THEM BACK $5,000,
ALMOST THE LAST OF THEIR CASH.
I got it.
Dustin: GRABOID'S COMING IN.
Carlos: RIGHT OVER US.
THAT WAS PRETTY QUICK!
WHOO!
WHOO-HOO!
NAILED IT!
Narrator: THE GRABOID WEIGHS 170 POUNDS
AND ALSO NEEDS 400 POUNDS OF GEAR TO RIG IT.
[BLEEP] DANG, DUDE!
Dustin: 'CROSS THE CREEK,
WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS ONE LINE COME INTO RIGHT HERE.
HARD ANCHOR POINTS ON EITHER END.
ON THAT CABLE, IT'S GONNA GO STRAIGHT DOWN.
THERE'S A BIG ROCK DOWNSTREAM
RIGHT THERE THAT WE'RE GONNA HOOK THAT TO.
AND, HOPEFULLY, IT'S A LOT CLEANER AND STRONGER.
Narrator: DUSTIN'S PLAN --
FIRST ATTACH A SUPPORT CABLE ACROSS THE CREEK.
NEXT, RUN THE TRANSPORT CABLE
OVER THE DIVE SITE,
75 FEET DOWNSTREAM TO AN ANCHOR POINT.
THE GRABOID CAN THEN LIFT
BOULDERS AND DUMP THEM CLEAR OF THE DIVE SITE.
Dustin: I DON'T SEE MYSELF GOING DOWN.
BUT THAT'S WHY THEY CALL 'EM ACCIDENTS, HUH?
THIRTY FEET ABOVE THE BRIDGE,
THE ONLY WAY DUSTIN CAN GET TO THE FAR SIDE
TO FIX ANCHOR POINTS
IS BY WADING THROUGH THE GLACIAL WHITE WATER.
BE CAREFUL, MAN.
Dustin: I JUST NEED A STICK. THAT MIGHT BE EASIER.
THERE'S A HUGE CHANCE THAT I'M GONNA GET WET BAD!
THIS IS CRAZY, DUDE.
I'M INSANE.
STEP ONE.
TO MAKE HOLES IN THE WALL BIG ENOUGH
FOR HIS 3-FOOT ANCHOR BOLTS,
DUSTIN HAS TO USE A CORE DRILL.
IF WE'RE GONNA LIFT UP 2,000-POUND ROCKS
AND IT'S GONNA BE OVER MY HEAD, I'MA MAKE IT STRONG.
I'MA MAKE IT REAL STRONG.
Richardson: IN THERE PRETTY GOOD.
YEAH, I'M HAPPY WITH THAT.
TWO IS GONNA BE ENOUGH, RIGHT?
YES. IT'S PROBABLY OVERKILL BUT YEAH.
I'M FINE WITH OVERKILL. I UNDERSTAND.
CONCRETE THESE THINGS IN, MAKE 'EM RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT THESE LONG ANCHOR BOLTS.
I'M JUST EPOXYING THESE INTO THESE, UH,
THE HOLES THAT DUSTIN BORED.
WE'RE GOING EXTRA STRONG ON THESE.
ONCE THAT, UH, ONCE THAT STUFF SETS,
THESE SHOULD BE ANCHORED IN AS STRONG AS THE ROCK ITSELF.
Fred: I HAVE NO DOUBT IT'LL HOLD.
PUT SOME GOOD ANCHORS IN OVER THERE.
GOOD, STRONG CABLE WAY UP TOP,
IT LOOKS LIKE THE SYSTEM WE SHOULD'VE STARTED WITH.
WOO! WOW.
GOOD JOB THERE, DUSTIN.
USE THE WEBBING.
WHEN IT PULLS, IT PULLS ON ALL THREE ANCHORS
AT THE SAME EXACT TIME AND THE SAME EXACT WEIGHT.
I'MA SET IT UP SO STRONG THAT THING'LL NEVER POP.
IT'S GETTING COLD HERE.
THE END OF THE SEASON'S HAPPENING.
WE JUST NEED THIS TO GET DONE.
OTHERWISE, I'M NOT GONNA FINISH THIS DAMN HOLE.
WE WON'T HAVE ANY GOLD AT THE END OF THE SEASON.
Richardson: THAT'LL WORK.
WE'VE GOT THIS LARGE PULLEY THAT'S GOING ONTO THIS CABLE.
ONCE I GET THIS HOOKED UP, WE'RE GONNA GET IT OUT TO THE MIDDLE.
READY? YEAH!
OH, YEAH.
GONNA SEND A CABLE DOWNSTREAM.
SO WE'RE HOPING WE GOT ENOUGH STRETCH AND HEIGHT.
GOT IT!
OKAY.
Narrator: THE CREW HAS BOTH THE CROSS-CREEK
AND DOWNSTREAM CABLES RIGGED.
LOOKING AT THAT DISTANCE,
I THINK IT'S GONNA WORK JUST FINE.
GOT OUR COME-ALONG ATTACHED TO A, UH, CABLE PULLER OUT THERE.
SEE IF WE CAN'T PULL THIS THING TIGHTER.
NOW WATCH. IF THAT [BLEEP] COMES LOOSE,
YOU'RE IN A BAD SPOT, JUST SO YOU KNOW.
MAN, WE GOT A LOT OF -- A LOT OF TENSION HERE.
A LOT.
Narrator: THE 75-FOOT CABLE HAS TO BE TIGHT ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE GRABOID
AND A GIANT BOULDER.
THAT'S STARTING TO GET SCARY TIGHT.
LOOKING GOOD TO ME!
I DON'T THINK IT'S TIGHT ENOUGH.
AND IN MY HEAD,
THAT HAS TO BE DANGEROUSLY TIGHT IN ORDER
TO PICK UP STUFF.
IT'S GETTING THERE.
IT WON'T GO. CLICK ON IT SOME MORE.
YEAH. YEAH. COME UP.
UP. UP.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST [BLEEP] DO THINGS RIGHT?
[BLEEP]
IT WON'T GO. CLICK ON IT SOME MORE.
OH, [BLEEP].
THAT WAS MORE VIOLENT THAN I EXPECTED.
Narrator: WINTER IS THREATENING TO SHUT THE DAKOTA BOYS DOWN ANY DAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY JUST DID.
BUT IT MADE THE WHOLE CABLE JUMP.
Narrator: THEY'VE SPENT ALMOST THE LAST OF THEIR CASH
ON A NEW CABLE SYSTEM TO REMOVE THE BOULDER
THAT'S BLOCKING THEM FROM THE GOAL.
WE WOULD'VE THOUGHT WE WOULDA HAD THIS ALL FIXED BY NOW.
BUT, UH, APPARENTLY, UH, APPARENTLY,
WE DON'T HAVE IT FIXED.
Narrator: DUSTIN HAS TO FIX THE CLAMP
AND RETENTION THE CABLE.
Dustin: HOW COME I'M ALWAYS OUT HERE?
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S LEARNING TO CLIMB AND [BLEEP].
THIS IS A FRICTION DEVICE
THAT GRABS AHOLD OF THE CABLE WHILE YOU PULL IT TIGHT.
RIGHT NOW, IT'S NOT GRABBING.
I'M TRYING TO PUT A BUNCHA JUNK IN THE WAY.
SO, HOPEFULLY, THIS THING WILL GRIP.
SO, DUCT TAPE AND ZIP TIES.
WE'RE GONNA TRY THIS [BLEEP].
I AIN'T [BLEEP] AROUND. WE DOING IT.
WHEN YOUR GREAT EQUIPMENT DOESN'T WORK,
YOU HAVE TO GHETTO-FY IT.
GOTTA MODIFY IT? IT'S TIME TO MODIFY!
ALL RIGHT. [BLEEP] TRY IT AGAIN, MAN.
IS THAT GONNA HOLD?
LITTLE DUCT TAPE, NO BIG DEAL?
SEEMS TO BE SO FAR.
TRICK IS TO GO A QUARTER TURN BEFORE IT BREAKS.
YEAH, WHAT'S THAT? I HAVE NO IDEA.
I GUESS, IF IT BREAKS, WE'LL BACK IT OFF A QUARTER TURN.
THINK WE GOT IT?
YEAH. ALL RIGHT.
HOPEFULLY WE GOT OUR CABLE TIGHT ENOUGH.
ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO TAKE,
LIKE, 20 MINUTES, DUDE.
Narrator: THE CABLE FINALLY INSTALLED,
THE CREW HEADS HOME FOR THE NIGHT.
Fred: GOOD RIDE.
LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING IN THE WATER TODAY.
TODAY IS A BIG DAY.
WHEN YOU FIRST PUT STUFF TOGETHER,
THINGS DON'T ALWAYS WORK RIGHT.
SO, UH, WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST.
Dustin: WE GOT THE CABLES TENSIONED PERFECT.
THE HOIST IS ON.
NOW WE'RE GONNA DO SOME TESTS TO FIND OUT
WHAT THIS THING IS MADE OF.
I'M DEFINITELY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS THING IN ACTION.
THAT IS ONE AWKWARD SON OF A [BLEEP].
COMING UP? YEAH.
COMING UP.
LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET IT TO OPEN.
Carlos: READY?
[ GRUNTS ]
NOPE. Dustin: THE BOLT'S TOO TIGHT.
[BLEEP] WON'T OPEN UP.
Fred: I GOT IT.
GIMME A LITTLE, UH, PRESSING ON IT.
LET'S GO TOGETHER.
WEE-HEE-HOO!
THAT'S A BAD, BAD MAN RIGHT THERE.
Narrator: DUSTIN AND THE CREW ARE READY TO DEPLOY THE GRABOID.
FRED IS IMPATIENT TO KEEP DREDGING.
I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND DO SOME DIVING TODAY,
SEE IF WE GET A LITTLE BIT DONE.
I'VE ONLY GOT A LIMITED NUMBER OF DIVES LEFT.
I, UH, I'M A LITTLE FRUSTRATED WITH THAT, I GOTTA ADMIT.
I WANT SOME PROGRESS.
UH, I WANT SOME RESULTS.
Dustin: WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, FRED?
ALL RIGHT.
GOTTA HAVE THAT TURN.
THAT'LL WORK.
YEAH.
IT'LL BE A GOOD DAY.
Narrator: UNTIL THEY CLEAR THE BOULDER,
FRED CAN ONLY DREDGE LOW-GRADE MATERIAL
IN THE DOWNSTREAM PART OF THE POOL.
Carlos: ALL RIGHT, FRED. I'VE GOT YOU ON COMMS.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I JUST GONNA DREDGE STRAIGHT DOWN.
ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE READY TO ROCK AND ROLL, FRED.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, FRED.
I MEAN, GONNA GIVE YOU [BLEEP] GOOD JOB.
WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF GOOD MATERIAL OUT.
SO I GUESS THE NEXT STEP IS TO FIND THAT GOLD.
THIS IS OUR FIRST SHOT AT IT.
DON'T STAND UNDER IT!
Narrator: FOR THE FIRST RUN,
THE CREW TESTS THE GRABOID WITH A SURFACE ROCK.
HOW 'BOUT THAT BIG ONE RIGHT THERE?
YEAH, THAT ONE. THIS ONE?
YEAH.
WELL, WE GOT A REAL WEIRD-SHAPED ROCK.
SO, IF WE CAN'T PICK IT UP WITH THIS, UH, GRABOID,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOOD IT'S GONNA DO US.
TRY THAT.
YEAH! THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK!
PRETTY GOOD-SIZED ONE, TOO.
[BLEEP] YEAH!
WOO!
FINALLY!
YEAH! WE GOT IT!
WE FIGURED THIS [BLEEP] OUT! DEFINITELY FIGURED IT OUT.
Carlos: I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT IS A SUCCESSFUL TEST.
HELL, YEAH!
[ LINE SNAPS, THUD ]
Fred: OH, [BLEEP]!
[BLEEP] GET HIM OUTTA THERE.
Carlos: FRED!
Narrator: UP AHEAD...
Carlos: HOLY [BLEEP]! GOT A NUGGET!
THEY GOT BROTHERS AND SISTERS, RIGHT?
IT'S PROBABLY AN INDICATION WE'RE GETTING
A LOT CLOSER TO THAT BOTTOM.
Dustin: WE'RE HOPING THAT JUST UNDERNEATH THAT NUGGET
IS A WHOLE BUNCH MORE.
WE FOUND GOLD, BRO!
Dustin: WOO!
Richardson: FINALLY!
WE GOT IT!
Carlos: I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT IS A SUCCESSFUL TEST.
HELL, YEAH!
[ LINE SNAPS, THUD ]
Fred: OH, [BLEEP]!
[BLEEP]
THERE'S POWER IN THE WATER!
HOLY [BLEEP].
THAT'S SCARY [BLEEP] MAN!
DUSTIN! KILL THE POWER!
CUT THE POWER!
Dustin: EVERYBODY OKAY?
WE GOT TO CALL IT. THAT'S DONE.
WE GOT TO CALL IT.
DIVE'S DONE. COME ON.
YOU OKAY?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
WELL, I BLEW MY ANCHORS ON THE GRABOID.
Fred: I HEARD.
'CAUSE I PULLED IN PROBABLY
ABOUT 8 TO 10,000 POUNDS
IN TO TIGHTEN THAT DAMN --
THE ONE ACROSS OVERHEAD. -YEAH.
[BLEEP]
ROUGH DAY, ROUGH DAY.
Dustin: I THOUGHT WE'D BE PICKING UP ROCKS WAY
BIGGER THAN THAT BEFORE IT BLEW OUT.
THAT'S PRETTY AWFUL.
Narrator: ONE OF DUSTIN'S ANCHOR POINTS HAS FAILED.
Dustin: GOD.
SOMETHING RUBBED REAL HARD ON THIS THING.
THAT ONE SHOWS IT REALLY CLEARLY.
THAT'S GOT A BIG INDENTION IN IT.
AH, LOOK.
LOOK.
THAT LITTLE BITTY EDGE CUT THAT ROPE.
YEAH, ALL THAT JERKING THAT WAS GOING ON
WHEN IT WAS GOING UP AND DOWN, IT WAS JUST UP THERE DOING THIS.
JUST LIKE THIS. AND IT CUT IT RIGHT THERE.
YUP. SEE IT?
THAT LITTLE EDGE JUST COST ME
A WHOLE BUNCHA MONEY AND A LOT OF TIME.
AND IT COULDA HURT SOMEBODY.
DUSTIN, THIS MORNING, HE'S IN TOWN
TRYING TO FIND SOME PARTS FOR THAT ROCK LIFTER GRABOID THING
TO, UH, GET THAT THING BACK AND OPERATIONAL.
WE JUST HAD A CRAP, UH, LET LOOSE UP ON TOP.
UNFORTUNATELY, UH, EVERYTHING WENT DOWN INTO THE WATER.
I HOPE THAT THING'S GONNA DRY OUT
AND BE ALL OPERATIONAL.
I'M THINKING BRAND-NEW ANCHOR RIGHT NOW UNLESS IT DRIES OUT.
Narrator: THE DIVE SITE IS AT A STANDSTILL.
Dustin: OH MY [BLEEP].
I'VE NEVER CARRIED SO MUCH WEIGHT IN MY LIFE.
TO GET ANYMORE GOLD,
THEY HAVE TO GET DUSTIN'S GRABOID TO WORK.
OH, MY [BLEEP].
Richardson: WOO!
GOT THAT [BLEEP] CHAIN?
GOOD DEAL, MAN. HOLY [BLEEP]!
THAT'S GOTTA BE ABOUT 200 POUNDS THERE. -[ GRUNTS ]
Dustin: YES. WHERE WERE YOU THE WHOLE TRIP?
ALL RIGHT. HELP ME SET IT DOWN.
AAH!
THAT WAS MY PUNISHMENT
FOR BREAKING SOMETHING YESTERDAY.
OH, MY [BLEEP].
AHH!
I WENT ALL-OUT AND BOUGHT THE BIGGEST DAMN CHAINS
I COULD BUY IN TOWN.
IT'S ABOUT 200 POUNDS OF CHAIN.
THEY'RE NOT COMING LOOSE THIS TIME.
I'M NOT GIVING UP YET.
I DARE YOU TO TRY TO BREAK THAT!
GOT BOMBER ANCHORS NOW.
YOU GONNA GO IN TODAY?
YEAH. I'LL GO IN TODAY. ALL RIGHT.
WE JUST GOT THE GRABOID WORKING.
AND, UH, I NEED SOMEBODY TO GO DOWN
AND USE THIS THING THAT CAN'T SUE ME.
I UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S A LOT OF PINCH POINTS.
PLEASE DON'T LOSE A HAND!
JUST LOOK AT 'EM FIRST. THEY'RE ALL THERE.
LET'S SEE IF WE GONNA HAVE 'EM AT THE END OF THE DAY.
I MEAN, YOU CAN MAKE A JOKE OF IT.
BUT THAT THING WILL TAKE YOUR DAMN FINGER RIGHT OFF, MAN.
HEY, I KNOW. HEY, LIFE IS DANGEROUS, MAN!
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE AWARE OF THE DANGERS. YOU TAKE PRECAUTIONS WITH IT.
AND, UH, DON'T PUT STUPID PEOPLE WITH IT.
I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A COMPLICATED SITUATION
WITH, UH, WORKING WITH THAT DEVICE UNDERWATER.
IF IT CAN BE MADE TO WORK UNDERWATER
COMFORTABLY AND SAFELY, I CAN DO IT.
Narrator: FRED'S CAREER AS A COMMERCIAL DIVER
MEANS HE'S HAD THE MOST EXPERIENCE
USING HEAVY EQUIPMENT UNDERWATER.
Dustin: HOPEFULLY.
GOTTA BE RIGHT DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE.
WE'LL HOOK UP THE GRABOID, PLUG THIS DAMN THING IN.
FRED'S GONNA GIVE IT A SHOT. LITTLE WORRIED, ACTUALLY.
I -- I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES ALL RIGHT.
I'M A LITTLE FIDGETY.
BE ON GUARD!
Carlos: ALL RIGHT. I'M ON GUARD.
OKAY. WE'VE GOT THE GRABOID HOOKED UP.
AND I'M COMING UP THE CABLE WITH IT RIGHT NOW.
AND, HOPEFULLY, THIS'LL SNATCH IT RIGHT UP.
OKAY, SO THE GRABOID IS ALL THE WAY
UNDERNEATH THE WATER NOW.
HOW'S IT LOOKING DOWN THERE, FRED? ALL RIGHT?
UPSTREAM, GOING UPSTREAM.
ALL STOP.
COMING DOWN.
YEAH.
YEAH, I THINK --
WATCH OUT FOR THE BOUNCE IF IT DOES SLIP LOOSE, FRED.
SHE WILL, UH, JUMP IN THE AIR.
Fred: ALL RIGHT.
COMING UP.
DO WE HAVE THE ROCK?
YEAH! WOO-HOO!
LOOK AT THAT!
HOLY [BLEEP]!
-WOO-HOO! -IS SHE UGLY?
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? THAT'S A ROTTEN ONE!
OH, MY [BLEEP]! LOOK AT THAT!
WOO-HOO!
HEY, TAKE A PICTURE OF THAT RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S [BLEEP] SWEET, DUDE!
YEAH!
WOO!
FINALLY! CAN'T BELIEVE IT, MAN!
THE GRABOID'S DOING ITS JOB, BROTHER!
I'D SAY THAT'S A SUCCESS.
I WOULD SAY SO. THIS THING WORKS GREAT.
THE GRABOID'S PICKING UP ROCKS
WE NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD GRAB.
LOOK AT THAT.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
IT GOT IT REALLY GOOD, FRED.
GOING FOR OUR LAST PUSH BEFORE WINTER.
COULDN'T HAVE COME AT A BETTER TIME.
FINALLY, MY RIGGING WORKS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
Carlos: YOU WANNA TAKE YOUR MASK OFF?
Fred: OH, OKAY.
Narrator: TO MAXIMIZE DIVE TIME AT MCKINLEY CREEK,
FRED TAKES A WORKING LUNCH.
Richardson: WHAT DO YOU WANT, FRED?
YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO EAT THAT WITH THOSE GLOVES ON?
PERFECT, RIGHT THERE.
YOU GOT IT? THERE YOU GO, FRED.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA GO GRAB ME SOME FOOD
AND BRING IT DOWN HERE.
HEY, PAUL, YOU SHOULD GO HANG OUT WITH FRED.
OH, MAN!
WHATEVER IT TAKES.
HEY, WHAT'S UP, MAN!
[ CHUCKLES ]
BACK TO WORK, BOY!
Dustin: THIS IS THE LAST PUSH, MAN.
WE'RE RUNNING OUTTA TIME. THE WIND IS COMING.
LET'S GET SOME DREDGING DONE.
Narrator: WINTER IS ABOUT TO CALL TIME ON THEIR SEASON.
A GIANT BOULDER HAS COST THE DAKOTA BOYS 3 CRUCIAL DAYS
OF DREDGING.
Carlos: THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!
BUT NOW THEY'RE BACK,
DREDGING FOR A MASSIVE DEPOSIT OF GOLD ON BEDROCK.
WE GOT SOME GOOD DIRT COMING OVER THE BACK OF THAT THING.
ALL RIGHT. I AIN'T RUSHING YA, MAN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME UP TODAY AT ALL.
OH, [BLEEP]. THAT LOOKS LIKE THE GOOD STUFF RIGHT THERE.
Fred: WHY, HELL, YEAH!
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS
LIKE COMING OVER THE BACK OF THE BOX.
FRED, THAT LOOKS DAMN GOOD.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED RIGHT THERE.
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE COMING UP, COMING UP, DIVER UP.
OH, MAN!
GOOD DAY OF DIVING!
Narrator: FRED HAS BEEN DREDGING DEEPER THAN EVER BEFORE.
BUT NO ONE KNOWS
IF HE'S GOT DOWN TO THE BEDROCK GOLD.
I'LL FIND OUT HERE PRETTY SOON.
I MEAN, WE GOTTA BE GETTING CLOSE TO THIS BEDROCK.
YOU KNOW, I NEED SOMETHING TO COME THROUGH THAT'S, UH,
THAT SHOWS US WE'RE STILL HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
HOLY [BLEEP]!
WHAT WE FINALLY BEEN LOOKING FOR.
I GOT A NUGGET!
DAMN, THE GUYS ARE GONNA BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT!
WE'RE FINALLY GETTING DOWN TO SOME PAY!
THIS THING IS SO BEAUTIFUL
IT HASN'T HARDLY TRAVELED ANYWHERE.
THAT'S ABOUT AS ROUGH AS IT GETS.
WOO, THAT'S A NICE SELL! I LOVE THAT SELL RIGHT THERE.
HEY, I GOT OUR LAST STUFF OUT OF THE DREDGE
CLEANED UP AND PROCESSED.
THE GOLD IS GETTING BETTER.
[BLEEP] YEAH, IT'S GETTING BETTER, MAN!
THAT'S GOOD GOLD, MAN!
HEY, THAT'S NICE!
Dustin: DOESN'T PAY THE BILLS, MAN.
Richardson: AND NOW THERE'S A NUGGET IN THERE!
NICE.
Carlos: OH, MY [BLEEP], MAN!
Richardson: THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF GOLD RIGHT THERE.
FEW MORE OF THOSE SHOW UP, WE GON' HAVE IT.
WELL, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS
A WHOLE PAN FULLA THOSE, MAN.
THEN -- IF -- THEN, IF THAT'S THERE, THEN YOU TELL ME.
