Fred: WHOO!
WE ARE JUST GETTING GOING HERE,
AND THE GOLD IS ALREADY SHOWING UP.
Narrator: DEEP IN THE ALASKAN WILDERNESS,
THE DAKOTA BOYS ARE ON A HUNT FOR GOLD...
-ARE WE THERE YET? -I WISH.
Narrator: ...MAKING THE 2-HOUR ATV DRIVE
BACK TO THEIR HIGH CAMP WITH VITAL SUPPLIES.
Paul: WELL, WE'VE HAD SOME VISITORS.
-THAT'S BEAR? WOW. -DAMN.
WHAT THE HELL?
THAT'S WASN'T A SMALL BEAR.
-OH, WOW. -CLAW MARKS.
YEAH, LOOK AT THIS SIDE.
Carlos: YOU SEE THE THEY DID TO WES'S TENT?
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?
BEARS ARE JUST ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OUT HERE.
THEY WANT TO KILL YOU.
THEY WANT YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THEIR CUBS.
THEY WANT YOU TO STAY OUT OF THEIR AREA.
THEY WANT YOUR FOOD.
ALASKA, OUT IN THE WILDERNESS, IS A HARSH PLACE TO LIVE.
WE GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO STAY ALIVE
IN THE DAMN DIVE SITE.
HOPEFULLY THIS GAME CAM CAUGHT THE CULPRIT
THAT TORE UP OUR TENT SO WE CAN SEE WHAT BEARS
WE HAVE HERE MESSING WITH US.
-THERE HE IS. -HOLY
-OH. -NOW WE'VE SEEN THE GRIZZLIES.
Fred: IT'S A GRIZZLY.
THE BLACK BEARS, YOU CAN CHASE THEM OFF PRETTY EASY.
THE BROWN BEARS, THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE.
MY QUESTION IS, WHERE'S MAMA BEAR AT?
THAT'S THE ONE I DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH.
I DON'T WANT TO MEET THAT THING AT NIGHT.
OH, YEAH.
WHAT'S WEIRD FOR THAT BEAR IS NOW HE HAS A PEOPLE PROBLEM
AND HE WANTS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE
AND HE'S GONNA KEEP COMING BACK.
Narrator: ON THIS "GOLD RUSH: WHITE WATER"...
Fred: MAN, THAT'S A BIG HOLE. I'VE GOT TO FILL IT UP.
FRED, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO BUILD THIS HILL?
WE GOT TO FINISH OUR LITTLE RECLAMATION UP.
WE'LL SEE YOU WHEN WE SEE YOU, HUH?
HAVE A GOOD SEASON, FRED.
HANG IT UP A LITTLE BIT!
I'M OVER THE WATERFALL, DUDE.
James: I JUST HIT A BEE'S NEST.
-JAMES! -WATCH OUT!
Dustin: HOLY
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, THERE'S GOLD.
-THAT'S GOLD. -WE GOT IT.
LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS THING, GUYS.
CHRISTMAS IN ALASKA!
THIS YEAR IS GONNA BE GOOD, DUDE.
--Captions by VITAC-- www.vitac.com
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
Narrator: HIGH UP THE REMOTE CAHOON CREEK
AT THEIR RAINBOW'S END DIVE SITE,
DUSTIN'S CREW IS RISKING THEIR LIVES
DIVING FOR A PILE OF GOLD DEEP BENEATH A RAGING WATERFALL.
YOU'RE GONNA BE WEARING QUITE A BIT OF WEIGHT.
WATER'S GONNA THROW YOU AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
HOW'S YOUR NECK?
James: IT FEELS GOOD. YEAH?
I LIKE IT. A LOT BETTER THAN MY REGULAR SUIT.
Carlos: IN THE BEGINNING, WE HAD NO MAN POWER.
WE SEEM LIKE WE WAS FALLING BEHIND.
BUT JAMES CAME IN, PICKED UP THE EXTRA SLACK,
AND WE'RE ROCKING IT NOW, BROTHER, AND HE'S DOING IT.
HE'S RIGHT ALONG WITH US, MAN. SIDE BY SIDE.
Narrator: NEW CREW MEMBER JAMES
SUITS UP FOR HIS SECOND-EVER DIVE
USING THE DAKOTA BOYS' LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM.
REACH UP AND PUSH ON THE MASK A LITTLE BIT WITH ONE HAND.
YEAH.
JAMES' SUIT CONNECTS TO THE DREDGE
THROUGH TWO VITAL LIFELINES,
AN AIR SUPPLY AND WARM WATER TO PREVENT HIM FREEZING
IN THE 33-DEGREE GLACIAL WATER.
IS THAT BETTER?
ALRIGHT, SO WE ARE SET.
Carlos: NO, NO, NO. I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING.
DO YOU SMELL SOMETHING BURNING?
A LITTLE HOT.
IS THAT TOO HOT?
DUDE, I CAN SMELL IT. WHAT'S BURNING?
HEY, OUT! OUT! OUT!
-PULL IT OFF. -GET IT OFF HIM.
OW!
Dustin: TURN HIM OFF!
Carlos: ALRIGHT, WE'RE SHUTTING IT DOWN.
WHAT'S GOING ON? DID YOU GET BURNT?
NO, I CAUGHT IT JUST IN TIME. I FELT IT ON THE ANKLES.
THERE'S A MALFUNCTION SOMEWHERE.
THAT WATER, I FELT IT RIGHT DOWN IN MY BOOTS.
AS SOON AS I FELT A LITTLE STING, I PISSED OUT.
Carlos: WANT TO HIT BOTH ENGINES?
Dustin: GO AHEAD.
MAN, THAT'S HOT.
YEAH, IT'S THE FOOT VALVE THAT CAME OUT OF THE
YEAH, IT'S BECAUSE THAT CAME OUT.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
WE WERE PUMPING AIR THROUGH THAT SIDE.
Narrator: THE DIVER'S HOT-WATER SYSTEM
IS FED BY TWO PUMPS THAT SUCK WATER
INTO A CHAIN WHERE IT'S HEATED USING THE EXHAUST.
ONE OF THE INTAKES WAS OUT OF THE WATER,
SO THE CHAMBER WAS ONLY HALF FILLED,
MAKING THE REMAINING WATER
SENT TO JAMES' DIVE SUIT SCALDING HOT.
GET IT AWAY FROM THE WALL,
LET'S PULL IT OUT HERE IN THE DEEPER SPOT,
GET IT PRIMED, GET THAT FOOT VALVE SET RIGHT.
IT'S ACTUALLY FLOATING ON ITS OWN,
AND IT STAYS PRIMED.
JAMES' CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW IN US IS PROBABLY REALLY LOW.
I'M SORRY THAT HAPPENED.
ALRIGHT. TRY THIS AGAIN, HUH?
ALRIGHT, AMIGO.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, TELL ME YOU'RE COMING UP.
ALRIGHT, BROTHER.
EASY DOES IT, MAN. EASY DOES IT.
DIVER WENT IN THE WATER.
OKAY, I'M GONNA START DRAGGING. READY?
JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET ON THAT DIRT.
YOU MAY AS WELL HAVE TO COME UP ON THESE ENGINES.
GO AHEAD, FIRE 'EM UP.
Dustin: LAST TIME WE DOVE,
WE FOUND GOLD RIGHT THERE IN THE POUND ZONE.
THIS IS THE FIRST GOLD OF THE SEASON.
NOW WE KNOW THERE'S GOLD DOWN THERE.
IT'S RIGHT THERE, RIGHT UNDERNEATH THAT.
-CALLING JAMES. -WHAT?
GET TO THE DEEPEST POINT. LET'S GET A DEPTH CHECK.
OKAY, HOLD ON.
ALRIGHT, LIKE MORE TOWARDS THE FALLS.
MORE TOWARDS THE POUND ZONE.
YEAH, IT'S MUCH DEEPER.
THERE YOU GO!
I'M STANDING UP.
I CAN BARELY SEE YOU, DUDE!
YOU'RE AT ABOUT SEVEN FEET, MAN.
Narrator: SEVEN FEET BENEATH THE RAGING WATERFALL,
JAMES DREDGES THROUGH WHAT COULD BE OVER
20 FEET OF GRAVEL AND ROCK TO GET DOWN TO THE PILE OF GOLD
THEY BELIEVE LIES ON THE BEDROCK.
THERE'S A BIG ROCK DOWN HERE.
YEAH, MAN.
OH, I CAN SEE ALL THE ROCKS COMING THROUGH.
THAT THING'S JUST A FREEWAY OF ROCKS COMING THROUGH.
WHAT KIND OF LAYER ARE YOU IN, DUDE?
I'M IN A SPOT WHERE THERE'S ALL PRETTY GOOD SIZE ROCKS NOW.
MORE ROCK, HUH?
YEAH.
OKAY, I THINK I'M GONNA NEED THE SLED.
I AM WAY AHEAD OF YOU, BROTHER.
Narrator: BLOCKED BY ROCKS, JAMES CALLS IN THE SLED.
James: OKAY, GO AHEAD AND PULL THE PLASTIC.
ALRIGHT, MAN, LET'S GET THAT OUT OF THERE.
OKAY, LET'S GO, COMING UP.
HERE WE GO.
LET ME KNOW WHEN IT MOVES.
Wes: IT WON'T PULL RIGHT THERE. IT'S STUCK.
STANDBY. STANDBY.
IT'S CAUGHT ON SOMETHING DOWN THERE.
HEY, CHECK. IS THE BASKET HUNG UP BY A ROCK OR SOMETHING?
James: HOLD ON ONE SEC.
YEAH, IT'S STUCK.
THE WALLS ARE ALMOST VERTICAL.
IT'S TOO STEEP.
WHAT'S GOING ON, IT WANTS TO CATCH THE EDGE COMING UP.
IT'S A DOMINO EFFECT. YOU CAN'T GET THE ROCKS OUT.
THE SLED HANGS UP, WE CAN'T DREDGE.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
EVERYTHING WANTS TO KICK OUR ASS DOWN HERE.
THESE ROCKS, ESPECIALLY.
Narrator: AS JAMES DIGS DOWN TOWARD THE GOLD ON BEDROCK,
THE WALLS OF THE DIVE HOLE GET DEEPER AND STEEPER,
TOO STEEP FOR THE WINCH TO DRAG THE ROCK SLED OUT OF THE HOLE.
LET ME TRY PUSHING.
THE ROCKS ARE TIPPING.
CARLOS, CARLOS! GET HIM UP.
COME ON UP. COME ON UP.
YOU GET HIT?
NO.
IT'S DONE. WE'RE DONE WITH THIS DIVE.
KILL THIS LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
COME ON IN, MAN.
OPEN UP YOUR VENT, MAN, SO YOU CAN GET SOME FRESH AIR.
James: THAT'S SUCH A SLOPE GOING DOWN IN THAT HOLE NOW.
AND WHEN YOU DROP A ROCK IN THE BASKET,
IT COMES BACK AND YOU'RE LIKE THIS AND YOU'RE LIKE, "REALLY?"
OKAY, I UNDERSTAND. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS HARD.
WE GOT RID OF ALL THE OVERBURDEN.
NOW WE NEED A LIFT SYSTEM.
Dustin: THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION.
YOU CAN'T FLOAT THEM OUT. YOU CAN'T DRAG THEM OUT.
YOU CAN'T LIFT THEM OUT.
YOU GOT TO SET UP SOMETHING
THAT JUST DO YOUR HEAVY LIFTING FOR YOU.
Narrator: A QUARTER OF A MILE DOWNSTREAM
AT HIS TWO FISH PLAN...
LET ME HOLD YOU.
Narrator: ...75-YEAR-OLD FRED HURT
TAKES THE FIRST DIVE OF THE WEEK.
-WHEW! -WE'RE GETTING THERE.
ALRIGHT!
Kayla: WE'RE GONNA GET FRED IN THE WATER TODAY
AND IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY.
LET'S GET THAT GOLD.
Narrator: FRED'S SEASONED PLANS, UNLIKE DUSTIN,
START 150 FEET DOWNSTREAM FROM THE BIGGEST WATERFALL.
THEN WORK HIS WAY UPSTREAM
THROUGH THE SMALLER PLUNGE POOLS,
MINING DOWN TO THE BEDROCK TO CATCH ALL THE GOLD.
RIGHT NOW WE GOT A TON OF REAL ESTATE UP HERE TO DREDGE.
WE GONNA JUST DREDGE RIGHT DOWN TO THE BEDROCK,
WHEREVER WE CAN FIND IT.
AND, HEY, IF WE GET IN A LITTLE BIT OF GOLD NOW,
I THINK WE'LL BE IN GOOD SHAPE.
HOW'S THAT?
I'VE GOT YOU OVER THERE. LET'S GO!
WHOA, THERE'S A BUNCH OF FINE, FINE GRAVEL DOWN HERE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH.
Narrator: USING THE SUCTION HOSE,
FRED SENDS WHAT COULD BE GOLD-RICH GRAVEL
UP TO THE FLOATING SLUICE BOX ON THE DREDGE.
Paul: I SEE SOME GOOD MATERIAL COMING.
Paul: I'M REALLY EXCITED NOW.
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE JUST BARELY TOUCHED THE SURFACE,
SO IF WE CAN GET DOWN THERE AND FINISH CLEANING IT OFF,
THERE AIN'T NO TELLING WHAT'S DOWN THERE.
IT CAN BE REALLY GOOD, AND ALL WE CAN DO
IS JUST HOPE THAT IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER, AND IT SHOULD.
WE'VE GOT A HOLE GOING NOW.
Fred: YUP, WE'RE DREDGING GOOD RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, WE ARE JUST...
IT'S JUST PRIME-TIME DREDGING RIGHT NOW.
ALRIGHT, I'LL LET HIM KNOW.
HEY, PAUL?
HEY, I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FOR FRED FROM JEN.
I JUST TALKED TO HER ON THE RADIO.
HE NEEDS TO GO DOWN TO PORCUPINE REAL QUICK
BECAUSE DNR...
IT'S SOMETHING INVOLVED WITH DNR OR SOMETHING.
SO HE NEEDS TO GET UP QUICK.
Paul: HEY, FRED, DID YOU GOT A COPY ON THAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
JEN JUST SENT A MESSAGE.
SHE NEEDS YOU TO COME DOWN TO PORCUPINE.
PORCUPINE?
I GUESS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MINING AGENCY?
I MEAN, WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DREDGING.
WE CAN'T GET THIS UP. NO WAY.
THEY SAID IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
YOU GOT TO GO MAKE A PHONE CALL TO THE MINING AGENCY.
I DON'T WANT TO DO IT.
COME ON, FRED. YOU'VE GOT TO GET UP.
ALRIGHT. DIVER COMING UP.
ALRIGHT, COPY THAT. DIVER'S COMING UP.
ALRIGHT.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET ME OUT OF HERE.
I'VE GOT TO CANCEL A DIVE TO GO DOWN TO PORCUPINE
AND MAKE A PHONE CALL.
THIS BETTER BE WORTH IT.
Fred: LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET ANY SIGNAL HERE.
UH, CAN I SPEAK TO THE MINING DIVISION?
Narrator: FRED HURT HAS STOPPED HIS HUNT FOR GOLD AT HIS
TWO FISH DIVE SITE TO MAKE AN URGENT CALL
TO THE ALASKAN MINING AUTHORITIES.
I'M RETURNING YOUR PHONE CALL.
YEAH, I'M A LITTLE BIT WORRIED ABOUT THIS.
A MINING AGENCY DON'T CALL YOU UP FOR NOTHING,
SO SOMETHING'S UP.
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
YOU WANT US TO FILL THIS HOLE UP?
Paul: WOW.
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS,
I HAVE FILLED IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF THIS HOLE.
WE CAN MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO DO THE RECLAMATION.
I THINK IT, UH...
I THINK YOU WOULD BE HAPPY.
EVERYBODY WOULD BE HAPPY IF WE CAN GET SOME EQUIPMENT OUT HERE
AND GET IT DOWN IN THE HOLE.
Narrator: EIGHT YEARS AGO,
FRED STARTED DIGGING A MASSIVE HOLE AT PORCUPINE CREEK.
Fred: WHEW!
ALL I CAN SEE IS GOLD SOUP GOING OUT HERE,
SO DON'T FILL IT.
Narrator: HE SET OUT ON THE BIGGEST EXCAVATION OF HIS LIFE,
HUNTING A MONSTER PILE OF GOLD
AT THE BOTTOM OF AN ANCIENT WATERFALL
BURIED DEEP BENEATH THE SURFACE, THE GLORY HOLE.
Dustin: WE DIGGING NOW!
TOGETHER WITH SON DUSTIN,
HE MINED OVER THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD.
OH. I'M PROUD OF YOU.
Dustin: FRED'S THE MOST DRIVEN MAN I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFE.
ALMOST TO A POINT OF OBSESSION.
Narrator: AS HE PASSED THE 100-FOOT MARK,
HE SOLDIERED ON, RISKING HIS LIFE.
Dustin: WATCH OUT!
WHOA!
Narrator: UNTIL A FLASH FLOOD AT PORCUPINE CREEK...
Fred: OH, THIS THING IS RAGING RIGHT NOW.
-NO, NO, NO. -WE GOT TO CALL IT.
IT'S JUST NOT SAFE.
Narrator: ...FORCED HIM TO ABANDON IT...
...LEAVING HIM WITH A PROBLEM 110-FEET DEEP.
THANK YOU. BYE NOW.
EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?
THEY WANT US TO COMPLETELY FILL THIS HOLE UP.
SO, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING UP THERE AT TWO FISH?
THIS IS KIND OF A PRIORITY.
DAMN.
I HAD TO SHUT DOWN AT TWO FISH
UNTIL I CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION HERE
IN THE INFAMOUS GLORY HOLE.
Narrator: TWO AND A HALF MILES UP THE MOUNTAIN,
DUSTIN'S TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF A NEW GLORY HOLE,
BUT HIS OPERATION IS AT A STANDSTILL UNTIL HE FINDS
A WAY TO LIFT MONSTER ROCKS FROM THE CREEK BED.
I'M GONNA MAKE A BAD-ASS SYSTEM.
I AM JUST GONNA MAKE A BEAUTIFUL SYSTEM,
AND IF IT WORKS WITH ALL THIS BEAT-UP ROCK AROUND HERE,
WE'RE GONNA LIFT EVERY ONE OF THEM ROCKS
OUT OF THERE IN NO TIME.
Narrator: DUSTIN'S PLAN --
DRILL AN ANCHOR UPSTREAM OF THE WATERFALL.
ATTACH A HALF-INCH BRAIDED STEEL CABLE.
THEN FIX THAT TO A SECOND ANCHOR 200 FEET DOWNSTREAM.
THIS FIXED LINE, TOGETHER WITH A SYSTEM OF WINCHES,
WILL ALLOW HIM TO LIFT OUT ROCKS BLOCKING HIS PATH TO GOLD.
Dustin: YEAH, SO WE NEED THAT CABLE TO COME AROUND THAT EDGE.
Narrator: DUSTIN AND JAMES START BY CONNECTING THE CABLE
TO THE FIRST ANCHOR POINT.
Dustin: STEP ONE, DONE.
WE GOT THE ANCHOR BOLTS IN, I'M GONNA GET JAMES
TO RUN ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER END WITH THIS LINE.
HOPEFULLY THE ROCK'S GOOD UP THERE.
PRETTY DANGEROUS UP HERE. WHAT A DROP OFF, DUDE.
WATCH YOURSELF, BROTHER. WATCH YOURSELF.
YOU GO DOWN, YOU GO DOWN.
Narrator: AT THE DOWNSTREAM END,
50 FEET HIGH ABOVE THE RAGING CREEK,
THE CREW NEED TO FIND SOLID ROCK FOR THE SKYLINE'S SECOND ANCHOR.
HERE, I HAVE THE WORST ROCK EVER.
I'VE GOT NOTHING TO ANCHOR OFF TO
AND I'M SCARED I'M GONNA KILL SOMEBODY.
WATCH OUT! ROCK!
HOLY
I JUST HIT A BEE'S NEST.
WHAT HAPPENED?
-WE HIT A BEE'S NEST.
-WHAT . -JAMES.
DID YOU GET HIT?NO. I THINK HE DID.
GET THE OUT OF THERE.
I'M GONNA HOLD ONTO YOU, ALRIGHT?
CARLOS, IS THERE ROCK RIGHT THERE?
I CAN PUT TWO ON THIS SIDE AND TWO ON THIS SIDE.
I'LL TAKE ANYTHING YOU CAN GIVE ME AT THIS POINT.
I WANT A ROW ALMOST.
James: WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING,
WE FOUND A BIG CHUNK OF GOLD?
GIVE ME ONE, TWO.
ONE, TWO, OKAY.
THREE, FOUR.
OF COURSE.
Dustin: SO, CARLOS AND JAMES JUST FOUND SOME BEDROCK FOR ME,
WAY UP HERE.
AND HOPEFULLY WITH ANY CHANCE,
OR ANY LUCK AT ALL, THIS IS GONNA HOLD.
THIS LINE COMING OUT OF THE SKY
RIGHT ABOVE YOUR HEAD WILL KILL YOU.
AND I DON'T THINK I COULD HANDLE THAT.
Narrator: WITH THE CABLE CONNECTED, JAMES AND CARLOS
MUST NOW TIGHTEN IT USING A COME ALONG WINCH.
IF EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD,
THE SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO LIFT A 3,000-POUND ROCK.
Dustin: SLOWLY.
A LOT OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN, THAT COME ALONG CAN SNAP,
I GET CUT UP THIS WAY.
THE ANCHORS COULD BLOW,
I GET CUT UP AND JAMES GETS CUT UP.
CRANK ON IT!
TIGHTER THAN YOU WANT TO GO, GUYS.
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, PLEASE PROTECT US, PLEASE KEEP US SAFE.
IN JESUS' NAME, WE PRAY. AMEN.
ALRIGHT, BROTHER. LET'S GO ROCK AND ROLL.
OOH, I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.
ONE MORE.
Carlos: DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, PLEASE PROTECT US,
PLEASE KEEP US SAFE.
IN JESUS' NAME, WE PRAY. AMEN.
ALRIGHT, BROTHER. LET'S GO ROCK AND ROLL.
Narrator: CARLOS AND NEW HIRE JAMES
ARE 50 FEET ABOVE THEIR DIVE SITE,
TENSIONING DUSTIN'S NEW SKYLINE CABLE.
OOH, I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.
Dustin: TIGHTEN IT UP!
TIGHTER THAN YOU WANT TO GO GUYS.
I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT COMING ON.
HOLD ON.
I'M NOT GONNA MOVE, SO I'M HERE WITH YOU.
JUST DO IT EASY, EASY, EASY DOES IT, MAN.
James: GOD, I DON'T LIKE THAT.
TIGHTER! LET'S SEE HOW THEY DO.
IT'S MOVING, MAN. IT'S TIGHTENING.
I DON'T LIKE THAT.
-I KNOW, MAN. -ALRIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, MAN?
IT'S STILL SAGGING.
JESUS IS IN OUR SIDE.
HOW ARE THOSE ANCHORS LOOKING?
-TERRIFYING. -ABSOLUTELY.
YEAH! VERY TERRIFYING.
COUPLE OF MORE, BROTHER. EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT, MAN.
OH, MAN.
KEEP TIGHTENING IT.
YOU GOT TWO MORE, MAN. COME ON. YOU CAN DO IT TWO MORE.
OOH, I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.
WHOA! STOP.
THAT'S ENOUGH. HELL YEAH, MAN.
HOLY MAN.
THAT'S A BAD-ASS SYSTEM.
WE'RE JUST TIGHTENING UP THE CABLE.
WE'RE GONNA PUT THE WINCHES ON IT, GONNA TEST IT OUT.
WITH ANY LUCK, WE CAN LIFT ROCKS AND FIND SOME GOLD.
WHOO!
Narrator: TWO AND A HALF MILES DOWN THE MOUNTAIN,
FRED AND PAUL HAVE SECURED SOME HEAVY MACHINERY
TO FILL IN THE 110-FOOT-DEEP GLORY HOLE.
Fred: MAN, THAT'S A BIG HOLE.
Paul: I'M GLAD THOSE GUYS
LET YOU BORROW THIS EQUIPMENT BACK,
OTHERWISE WE'D BE IN SOME BIG TROUBLE.
YEAH, BORROW IS NOT THE WORD, IT'S CALLED RENT.
Narrator: TO FINISH THE RECLAMATION WORK AT PORCUPINE,
FRED HAS STOPPED HIS HUNT FOR GOLD AT TWO FISH.
Fred: WHEN YOU GO AND GET A MINING PERMIT,
ONE OF THE MAJOR THINGS OF THAT PERMIT
IS TO PUT THE THING BACK THE WAY IT BASICALLY WAS.
BE IT AGRICULTURE OR TREES,
OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO PUT BACK ON IT,
AND THAT'S CALLED RECLAMATION.
Paul: IT KIND OF PISSES ME OFF A LITTLE BIT
BECAUSE WE WERE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DREDGING,
WE DON'T WANT TO STOP.
IT'S JUST -- IT'S FRUSTRATING.
THE SOONER WE GET THIS DONE,
THE SOONER WE GET BACK UP THERE AND START FINDING GOLD.
HAVING TO DO THIS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
IS NOT PAYING THE BILLS.
DEFINITELY NOT PAYING THE BILLS.
HEY, FRED.
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO BUILD THIS HILL?
IT TOOK ME FOUR YEARS TO BUILD THIS,
AND YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO TAKE IT APART?
WE GOT TO FINISH OUR LITTLE RECLAMATION UP.
ALRIGHT, WELL, YOU GOT A SEASON'S WORTH OF WORK HERE.
I FIGURE, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE WEEKS ON THIS THING
WILL PROBABLY GET IT LOOKING PRETTY DAMN GOOD.
YOU GONNA LOOK FOR GOLD THIS YEAR?
LOOK, I'LL JUST GET IT DONE AS QUICK AS I CAN
AND WE'LL BE ON THE WAY, MINING UP A STORM.
I GUESS WE'LL SEE YOU WHEN WE SEE YOU, HUH?
COUPLE MONTHS? COUPLE WEEKS?
HAVE A GOOD SEASON, FRED.
HEY, YOU MOVE THOSE ROCKS OUT OF THE WAY YET?
WHY DO YOU CARE?
♪ HEIGH-HO, HEIGH-HO, IT'S OFF TO WORK I GO ♪
Narrator: TO COMPLETE THEIR ROCK-LIFTING SYSTEM,
DUSTIN'S CREW NEEDS TO GET TWO BRAND-NEW,
100-POUND WINCHES OVER TWO MILES
TO THEIR REMOTE RAINBOW'S END DIVE SITE.
THESE ARE THE BEST WINCHES WE'VE EVER HAD,
BECAUSE THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEEFIEST CABLE SYSTEM
WE'VE EVER MADE.
IT HAS TO BE THE STRONGEST LIFT WE'VE EVER HAD.
OOH, WATCH THAT SWITCH. IT'S GONNA BREAK OFF.
I KNOW IT'S GONNA BREAK OFF.
I WANT TO PROTECT IT. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THEM THERE
WITHOUT SMASHING THEM OR DROPPING THEM.
Carlos: HEAVY LOAD. OH, THAT'S A HEAVY LOAD.
BETTER NOT DROP THAT WINCH, CARLOS.
HEAVY LOAD. HEAVY LOAD.
Narrator: DUSTIN'S NEW WINCHES WILL POWER HIS SKYLINE.
THE UPSTREAM WINCH WILL MOVE THE PULLEYS HORIZONTALLY.
THEN THE DOWNSTREAM WINCH WILL LIFT OUT AND HAUL CLEAR
THE ROCKS THAT STAND IN THE WAY OF THE BEDROCK GOLD.
THAT'S TWO. THERE, THOSE TWO ARE ON.
FIRST, DUSTIN AND WES ATTACH THE WINCHES
TO EXPOSED BEDROCK ON THE CREEK WALLS.
WE GOT THE WINCH UP, IT'S A GOOD START.
ALRIGHT, JUST PUT THE TOP ON
AND HANG IT FROM THE TOP, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
LOSING ALL MY DAMN ARM STRENGTH IS THE PROBLEM.
DON'T YOU WANT TO LIFT ROCKS?
AH, COME ON. YEAH!
BAM.
Narrator: THE REAL CHALLENGE --
WADING INTO THE GLACIAL WHITEWATER
JUST ABOVE THE WATERFALL
TO CONNECT THE WINCH CABLE TO THE SKYLINE.
FORMER MARINE SERGEANT CARLOS VOLUNTEERS FOR THE MISSION.
PUT IT SOMEWHERE WHERE WE CAN PULL IT OFF,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHOA!
YO! HEY, YOU FALL IN THAT WATER, I GOT TO COME GET YOU.
WHAT? WHAT?DON'T FALL IN.
IF I FALL IN, CAN YOU JUMP INSIDE AND --
I'M COMING. I'LL BE THERE.
YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO,
I'M JUST SAYING, IT'S A LITTLE SKETCHY.
I CAN DO THAT.
THIS DON'T BOTHER ME.
I'M GONNA FALL IN THE WATER.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A DISASTER
WAITING TO HAPPEN, MAN.
WHOA-HO-HO!
WHOA, BRO.
COME WORK IN ALASKA.
DO FUN THINGS...
LIKE GET KILLED IN ALASKA.
TIGHTEN IT UP A LITTLE BIT! TIGHTEN IT UP!
I'M OVER A WATERFALL, DUDE.
BE CAREFUL.
THIS CURRENT IS KILLING ME, MAN.
WHOO! YEAH!
THIS IS AWESOME.
THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME.
ALL THE EFFORT I TOOK TO PUT THIS UP IS GONNA BE WORTH IT
BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA GET DOWN TO BEDROCK,
FIND THE GOLD HERE.
THAT'S ONE HELL OF A SYSTEM RIGHT THERE.
Narrator: UP AHEAD...
Wes: GOT A LITTLE BIT OF SHINY STUFF IN THE INSPECTION MAT.
-THAT'S GOLD. -YEAH.
LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS THING, GUYS.
Dustin: EVERYBODY'S WORKING SO DAMN HARD TO GET THIS GOING,
WE NEEDED TO SEE GOLD.
YEAH!
Dustin: ALRIGHT, GUYS, IT MIGHT NOT BE TIGHT ENOUGH,
THE ANCHORS MIGHT BLOW,
WE MIGHT GET A MALFUNCTION IN THE WINCHES
THAT KEEP GOING,
YOU JUST GOT TO BE READY FOR EVERYTHING, ALRIGHT?
Narrator: DUSTIN HAS FINALLY FINISHED
HIS SKYLINE CABLE SYSTEM
TO REMOVE THE BOULDERS
FROM BLOCKING HIS WAY TO BEDROCK GOLD.
NOW HE'S SENDING THE TEAM'S MOST EXPERIENCED DIVER,
CARLOS, TO PUT IT TO THE TEST.
I WONDER HOW FAR THAT THING'S GONNA SAG, MAN,
WHEN WE PUT SOME MAJOR WEIGHT ON THAT
WHEN YOU DO WHAT? DON'T BLOW MY ANCHORS OUT FIRST DAY.
NO, NO, NO.
I NEED TO GET THE SYSTEM WORKING BEFORE...
SURE. ...BEFORE WE GET GOING.
Carlos: ANYTHING THAT HAS A HEAVY LOAD THAT'S ABOVE ME,
WHILE I'M IN THE WATER WITH THAT MUCH TENSION,
IT'S PRETTY UNNERVING, BROTHER.
PRETTY UNNERVING, OF COURSE.
WHETHER I HAVE GOLD IN MY POCKETS OR NOT,
MAN, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I GOT TO GET TO MY FAMILY SAFE.
Dustin: THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.
I'M TRYING TO ELEVATE A LIFTING SYSTEM,
AND I'M HOPING THAT THIS IS, LIKE, THE END-ALL FOR US.
LIKE, I COULD JUST MAKE THIS HAPPEN ANYWHERE WE GO.
HOPEFULLY I GET FASTER AT IT, TOO.
ALRIGHT, GET IN THE WATER.
WE'LL GET YOU A BASKET HERE SOON.
-GOOD? -YEP, I'M GOOD.
LIFT UP.
KEEP ME SAFE, JESUS. KEEP ME SAFE, AMIGO.
I'M GOING IN THE WATER. WHOO!
James: DIVER IN THE WATER.
ARE WE WAITING FOR THE BASKET?
Dustin: WELL, WE GOT A BASKET
ON ITS WAY TO YOU RIGHT NOW.
WHERE YOU WANT IT, CARLOS?
BECAUSE WE'LL SET IT WHEREVER THE HELL YOU WANT IT.
RIGHT THERE. DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.
ALL STOP.ALRIGHT, ALL STOP.
DON'T GO TOO HEAVY.
WE'RE GONNA START OUT WITH LIGHT BASKETS.
OKAY, SURE, SURE.
AND GET YOU OUT THE WAY, AND WE'RE GONNA PULL IT OUT
AND SEE IF WE DON'T KILL ANYBODY.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.ALRIGHT.
BEFORE WE WERE DRAGGING, DROPPING.
WE GOT DOWN TO A PLACE WHERE WE COULDN'T DIG ANYMORE
BECAUSE ALL THE BIG DAMN ROCKS.
THIS IS GONNA PUT AN END TO ALL OF THAT.
IT'S TIME TO DIG NOW.
STANDBY. ALRIGHT. COMING UP ON BASKET.
REACHING THE SURFACE.
WOO-HOO!
THERE IT IS. THERE IT IS, GUYS!
THERE IT IS!
YEAH!
THIS THING'S WORKING.
IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT'S WORKING.
HOW MUCH FUN IS THAT?
FINALLY, FINALLY, WE'RE GETTING BETTER AT THIS.
I'VE DONE SO MUCH DUMB STUFF TO GET TO THIS PLACE.
I'VE USED HOISTS, BATTERY-OPERATED WINCHES,
EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF TO MAKE THIS RIGHT,
AND I THINK I FINALLY HAVE THE PERFECT COMBINATION
OF EVERYTHING I NEED.
BEAUTIFUL.
STOP.
IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, MAN.
BEAUTIFUL.
Dustin: RIGHT NOW, I'M ON CLOUD NINE.
WE'RE GONNA GET TO THE GOLD,
AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA WORK PERFECT.
Carlos: ALRIGHT, BASKET FULL.
DIVER ONE IS CLEAR.
COPY THAT. BASKET'S COMING UP.
ALRIGHT, BASKET'S OUT OF MY HANDS, REACHING SURFACE.
THAT'S A BIG ROCK.
YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE OVERLOADED THAT
A LITTLE MORE?
YOU WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD BREAK IT.
I WANT TO SEE IF I COULD BREAK THAT
I COULD LIFT IT OUT OF THE WATER.
I'M GONNA TEST IT.
HEY, WES, NOTHING'S WORKING.
SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE WINCH.
CAN YOU GO CHECK OUT THE WINCH?
Wes: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
IT'S TOAST.
IT WENT UNDER THE BOTTOM.
IS WHAT THIS IS.
HEY, MAN, WHERE'S MY BASKET AT, MAN?
BASKET'S ON HOLD, THE WINCH, IT'S ALL BOUND UP.
I NEED TO GET THESE ROCKS OUT OF HERE, DUDE.
I GOT TONS OF ROCKS, LIKE LITERALLY.
COME ON.
I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING IT
A LITTLE BIT CLOSER.
Dustin: OH
Narrator: THE CABLE ON THE DOWNSTREAM WINCH
IS TANGLED AROUND THE SPOOL.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION
TO THE WRAPPING.
WE THOUGHT WE HAD IT UNDER CONTROL,
WE MOST OBVIOUSLY DO NOT.
WE NEED TO GET THAT SKYLINE WORKING BIG TIME, DUDE.
OR...CAN'T GO NOWHERE, YOU KNOW,
UNLESS YOU WANT TO PICK UP ROCKS AND PUT THEM IN YOUR POCKET
AND BRING THEM OUT.
THIS IS CALLED A BIRD'S NEST, AND A LOT OF TIMES,
NOT ONLY WILL IT STOP IT, IT WILL BEND THE HOUSING.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BENT RIGHT HERE, BUT I CAN'T TELL.
WE MAY HAVE JUST COMPLETELY DESTROYED THIS THING.
Narrator: AT PORCUPINE CREEK,
FRED HURT IS CONTEMPLATING A NEW USE
FOR HIS ABANDONED GLORY HOLE.
I TRIED TO CONVINCE THE MINING DEPARTMENT,
BOY, THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT TROUT POND,
BECAUSE THERE IS A... FISH CALLED, "DOLLY VARDEN."
DOLLY VARDEN IS A, KIND OF LIKE A TROUT-LOOKING FISH,
VERY GOOD EATING, BUT THEY WON'T GO FOR IT.
THEY SAID, "NO, FRED, GET OUT THERE
AND RECLAIM IT LIKE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO."
GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
Fred: WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
MAKE SOME GOOD PROGRESS OUT HERE.
THE ROCKS ARE JUST TAKING OFF TO THE BOTTOM
AND GOT TO MAKE EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS COUNT.
DON'T WANT THEM SINKING TOO DEEP IN THE MUD.
Narrator: FRED HURT SHUT DOWN HIS TWO FISH DREDGING OPERATION
WHILE HE FILLS IN THE GLORY HOLE DOWN AT PORCUPINE CREEK.
THIS RECLAMATION'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT SLOW BECAUSE,
RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST ME AND FRED DOING THIS
AND THE MACHINES ARE KIND OF OLD AND BEAT UP AND WORN OUT,
BUT WE ARE MAKING FORWARD PROGRESS.
Narrator: FRED AND PAUL HAVE FILLED IN THEIR UNDERWATER HOLE
TO JUST 20 FEET DEEP.
I WANT TO GET BACK UP TO TWO FISH
AND GET TO MINING UP THERE.
THAT'S OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE.
SO WE'RE CLOSING IN ON GETTING THAT THING BUILT.
WE'VE MADE QUITE A BIT OF PROGRESS,
AND THIS WAS A BIG OLD LAKE WHEN WE GOT STARTED
AND NOW IT'S DOWN TO LIKE A LITTLE BITTY OLD SWIMMING POOL.
UH-OH.
WE GOT PROBLEMS.
HEY, PAUL, WHO'S THAT OVER THERE?
IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?
WHY DON'T YOU HOP OUT AND LOOK OVER THERE?
I CAN'T QUITE SEE FROM HERE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE OUR VISITORS.
YEAH, FRED, I THINK IT'S THE MINING AGENCY.
WHY ARE THEY COMING SO DANG EARLY?
PARK YOUR MACHINE UP BY THE HILL UP THERE.
I'M JUST GONNA WALK OVER THERE.
OKAY, COPY THAT.
HEY, LOOK, I DON'T WANT YOU ALL FILMING THIS.
YOU KNOW, BAD ENOUGH, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T WANT TO POKE THE BEAR.
SO YOU ALL JUST GONNA HAVE TO STAY OUT OF THIS.
I'M NOT READY FOR THEM OUT HERE AT ALL.
Paul: THIS DON'T LOOK GOOD.
MINING AGENCY JUST SHOWED UP.
SO, LITTLE NERVOUS AND, YEAH.
Fred: CAN WE JUST DO THAT?
Woman: YEP, WE CAN DO THAT.
JUST HOP IN, IT'LL ONLY TAKE A FEW MINUTES HERE.
FRED'S GIVING THEM A LITTLE TOUR AROUND RIGHT NOW.
HOPEFULLY THEY'RE SATISFIED. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
IF YOU ALL WANT TO TAKE ANY PICTURES OR WHATEVER,
YOU JUST TELL ME WHEN TO STOP.
THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO BE RIGHT NOW.
SO EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW IS RIDING ON THIS.
HOW'D IT GO?
UH...
THEY FELT WE'VE DONE MUCH MORE RECLAMATION
THAN THEY HAD EXPECTED.
THAT MEAN WE GET TO GO BACK UP TO TWO FISH?
YEAH. HA HA! YEAH.
YOU AND I GOT BETTER WORK TO DO
THAN JUST RUNNING THIS EQUIPMENT RIGHT NOW.
AHH. DAMN.
AIN'T THAT SOME
YEAH.
ALL THAT GOOD, HARD WORK PAID OFF.
GET SOME GOLD, MAN, GET SOME GOLD.
I NEED TO GET THIS SKYLINE WORKING TODAY.
WE'RE AT A STANDSTILL RIGHT NOW.
WE DON'T GET THE ROCKS OUT OF THE HOLE,
WE'RE NOT GONNA GET ANY GOLD.
I NEED THIS DONE.
Narrator: AFTER JAMMING THEIR NEW WINCH SYSTEM
DESIGNED TO LIFT MASSIVE BOULDERS
OUT OF THEIR DIVE SITE,
DUSTIN'S CREW IS WORKING ON A FIX,
SO THEY CAN REACH BEDROCK BENEATH THE WATERFALL,
WHERE THEY HOPE TO FIND PILES OF GOLD.
WELL, WE'VE HAD A BIT OF A JUMBLE-UP YESTERDAY
WHEN WE FIRST PUT THE CABLE ON, IT ALL CAME BELOW OUR DRUM HERE.
I PUT THAT THREE QUARTER INCH BOLT THERE, KIND OF A BUSH FIX,
BUT I THINK THAT'S GOING TO STOP THE CABLE
FROM GOING OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE DRUM.
ALL I GOT TO DO IS SLIP MY PICK OVER THE TOP OF THAT,
IT'LL WORK AS A GUIDE.
I THINK WE'RE GOOD TO GO.
I THINK WE'RE READY TO GET JAMES IN THE WATER.
LET'S MOVE SOME ROCKS.
Carlos: LET'S MOVE SOME ROCKS!
JAMES, YOU GOING FOR A RIDE.
James: DIVER IN.DIVER IN.

HOW'S THE VISIBILITY, MAN?
MAN, I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
THERE'S TONS OF ROCKS, I JUST CAN'T SEE THEM.
I KNOW, MAN, I'M SORRY, DUDE.
MAN, JAMES, HOW COMFORTABLE YOU THINK
ABOUT LOADING THESE ROCKS IN THIS BASKET?
AS LONG AS I'M OUT OF THE WAY, PUT THE BASKET IN.
SURE, SURE.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M AT.
OKAY.
ALRIGHT, JUST STAY WHERE YOU'RE AT
AND WE'LL PUT THE BASKET CLOSE ENOUGH TO YOU
AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO, MAN.
THE BASKET HIT THE WATER, BROTHER, SO WATCH YOURSELF.
ALRIGHT.
WATCH YOURSELF, WATCH YOURSELF.

SOMETHING BREAKS AND SETS US WAY BACK.

AND I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PICK THIS UP.
I'M GONNA STAY HERE SO I CAN WATCH IT.
BASKET IS COMING UP. BASKET IS COMING UP.

IT LOOKS LIKE PRETTY GOOD ROCK.
THANK YOU.
I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT, MAN.
HEY, WES, HOW'S THE WINCH?!

HELL YEAH, MAN! YEAH, FINALLY!
LET'S MOVE SOME ROCKS.
Narrator: THE SKYLINE CAN HAUL OUT
OVER 3,000 POUNDS OF ROCK IN A SINGLE LIFT.
ALRIGHT, WE'VE GOT A FUNCTIONING BASKET NOW.
Narrator: OVER THE NEXT FOUR HOURS,
JAMES SENDS OUT 15 BASKETS FULL OF ROCKS.
ALRIGHT, JAMES, BASKETS ON THE CIRCUIT.
Dustin: ARE YOU GETTING PAST
THE OVERBURDEN STUFF NOW, FINALLY?

BUY WHAT YOU WANT, EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
I GUESS PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO GET DOWN,
THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED RIGHT NOW. WE NEEDED THIS.
EVERYBODY'S WORKING SO DAMN HARD TO GET THIS GOING,
WE NEEDED TO SEE GOLD. -YEAH.
Narrator: NEXT TIME ON "GOLD RUSH: WHITE WATER"...
Fred: WHEW, I'M EXCITED TO GET GOING THERE.
I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT'S DOWN THERE.
