1
00:00:04,034 --> 00:00:05,896
narrator:
on this "gold rush"...
2
00:00:05,931 --> 00:00:07,344
Rick: we just had
a talk about
3
00:00:07,379 --> 00:00:09,586
how we were gonna get through
the rest of this season!
4
00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:11,137
we'll deal with it next year!
5
00:00:11,172 --> 00:00:14,275
Rick ness faces down
a rebellion.
6
00:00:16,724 --> 00:00:18,724
well, he's lost it
this time.
7
00:00:25,379 --> 00:00:28,000
narrator:
with two operations down...
8
00:00:29,965 --> 00:00:32,344
...the beets family
struggles to recover.
9
00:00:32,379 --> 00:00:35,517
kind of feel like throwing up.
10
00:00:38,862 --> 00:00:41,000
you've just got to put
every body you can in a truck
11
00:00:41,034 --> 00:00:43,068
and do whatever
you can to keep up.
12
00:00:43,103 --> 00:00:45,620
narrator: and Parker schnabel's
search for gold...
13
00:00:45,655 --> 00:00:48,724
i'm trying to keep
that wash plant running.
14
00:00:48,758 --> 00:00:51,206
...pushes his crew
to the limit.
15
00:00:53,586 --> 00:00:54,655
Dennis!
16
00:00:57,344 --> 00:01:00,310
17
00:01:00,344 --> 00:01:03,655
18
00:01:10,931 --> 00:01:14,448
Rick: this year has just been
one giant roller-coast ride.
19
00:01:14,482 --> 00:01:16,448
i know there's big gold here
at Duncan creek.
20
00:01:16,482 --> 00:01:18,862
it's just, the ground does not
want to give it up.
21
00:01:18,896 --> 00:01:20,655
and i've spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars
22
00:01:20,689 --> 00:01:23,551
trying to find it.
23
00:01:23,586 --> 00:01:25,896
narrator:
in the mountains above keno,
24
00:01:25,931 --> 00:01:29,310
Rick ness finally has
his operation dialed in.
25
00:01:30,965 --> 00:01:33,448
Rick: everybody's committed
to finishing this season strong.
26
00:01:33,482 --> 00:01:35,793
you know, morale is good.
the ground's holding up.
27
00:01:35,827 --> 00:01:37,586
the weather's holding up
for now.
28
00:01:37,620 --> 00:01:39,517
so it's time to just push
right on through
29
00:01:39,551 --> 00:01:41,000
till we get froze out.
30
00:01:43,586 --> 00:01:45,827
narrator:
with 5 weeks left in the season,
31
00:01:45,862 --> 00:01:49,379
Rick's got just
350 ounces of gold.
32
00:01:49,413 --> 00:01:53,620
he's determined to hit
his 500-ounce break-even point
33
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:58,310
and put some money in the bank
for him and his crew.
34
00:01:58,344 --> 00:02:00,068
kruse: the most important thing
right now
35
00:02:00,103 --> 00:02:04,206
is that we get something out of
this ground to get to our goal.
36
00:02:04,241 --> 00:02:05,586
the last thing any of us
wants to do
37
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:07,344
is go home without a bonus,
38
00:02:07,379 --> 00:02:12,793
and the last thing i want to do
is see Rick lose his ass.
39
00:02:12,827 --> 00:02:15,620
narrator: monster red
is running up to 300 yards
40
00:02:15,655 --> 00:02:19,275
of potentially gold-rich pay
every hour.
41
00:02:19,310 --> 00:02:21,068
we've been up and running
pretty smoothly
42
00:02:21,103 --> 00:02:23,620
the last couple of days.
43
00:02:23,655 --> 00:02:25,551
oh, boy.
we're getting there.
44
00:02:25,586 --> 00:02:26,931
all hands on deck.
45
00:02:26,965 --> 00:02:28,931
just trying to, you know,
pound this dirt through.
46
00:02:39,172 --> 00:02:40,586
oh, hold on.
47
00:02:42,275 --> 00:02:43,413
you got to be kidding me.
48
00:02:43,448 --> 00:02:46,241
hey.
49
00:02:49,551 --> 00:02:50,931
there's a rock pileup.
50
00:02:50,965 --> 00:02:52,206
shut her down.
51
00:03:05,965 --> 00:03:08,586
i assume
this isn't good.
52
00:03:08,620 --> 00:03:10,379
what happened?
53
00:03:13,448 --> 00:03:14,689
not much left.
54
00:03:14,724 --> 00:03:16,689
i'm just gonna get in there
and take a look-see.
55
00:03:22,827 --> 00:03:25,137
oh!
56
00:03:26,724 --> 00:03:28,206
Rick:
the hopper for this conveyor
57
00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:30,896
is just lodged
in the tail wheel of our belt
58
00:03:30,931 --> 00:03:34,448
and caused it to
stall out and load up on us.
59
00:03:34,482 --> 00:03:39,034
and it's just worn-out
and it's a problem.
60
00:03:39,068 --> 00:03:41,275
narrator: after washing
all the gold-rich material
61
00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:42,862
off the rocks,
62
00:03:42,896 --> 00:03:47,000
monster red sends them out onto
the conveyor through a hopper.
63
00:03:47,034 --> 00:03:49,827
the heavy Duncan creek rocks
have destroyed
64
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:51,758
the sides of the hopper,
65
00:03:51,793 --> 00:03:54,862
allowing them to build up
under the conveyor belt,
66
00:03:54,896 --> 00:03:59,103
stopping the belt
and jamming the hopper.
67
00:03:59,137 --> 00:04:02,137
this conveyor is not built
for this ground.
68
00:04:02,172 --> 00:04:04,413
we just --
seems like it's running
69
00:04:04,448 --> 00:04:06,586
too big of rocks through
and stuff, right?
70
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:09,206
i don't know, Carl.
71
00:04:09,241 --> 00:04:11,551
it's like,
it's so
72
00:04:11,586 --> 00:04:14,275
wait. is that other hopper
over there?
73
00:04:14,310 --> 00:04:16,827
let's just take that other
hopper off, like, this thing
74
00:04:16,862 --> 00:04:18,620
right here off the other one,
and put it in here.
75
00:04:18,655 --> 00:04:20,310
well, let's just go see
what kind of shape it's in.
76
00:04:20,344 --> 00:04:21,413
i'm coming.
i'm coming.
77
00:04:23,275 --> 00:04:25,241
narrator:
when Rick bought monster red,
78
00:04:25,275 --> 00:04:27,896
it came with
a spare tailings hopper.
79
00:04:30,172 --> 00:04:32,482
so, if you armor this up here...yeah.
80
00:04:32,517 --> 00:04:34,482
...and it doesn't have a chance
to pound through it...
81
00:04:34,517 --> 00:04:35,655
yeah....then it should be okay.
82
00:04:35,689 --> 00:04:36,862
yeah.
83
00:04:36,896 --> 00:04:40,517
yeah, realistically,
i'm down to try that.
84
00:04:40,551 --> 00:04:44,034
to prevent the replacement
breaking in the same way,
85
00:04:44,068 --> 00:04:47,655
they'll reinforce it
using impact wear plates.
86
00:04:49,827 --> 00:04:54,724
first up, Rick and zee
remove the damaged hopper.
87
00:04:54,758 --> 00:04:56,758
let's go.
88
00:04:56,793 --> 00:04:59,379
every hour monster red is down,
89
00:04:59,413 --> 00:05:02,586
Rick's chances of breaking
even slip away.
90
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:03,689
we got it.
91
00:05:09,034 --> 00:05:11,413
Rick: wow.
boy, that is beat to
92
00:05:11,448 --> 00:05:13,655
that's pretty much a metaphor
for what these boulders
93
00:05:13,689 --> 00:05:15,517
and this ground
have done to my season
94
00:05:15,551 --> 00:05:18,379
and to this whole wash plant --
95
00:05:18,413 --> 00:05:20,620
beat the out of it.
96
00:05:29,103 --> 00:05:32,482
we're just killing it this year,
and now that we've sluicifer
97
00:05:32,517 --> 00:05:35,551
and big red set up down there
side by side,
98
00:05:35,586 --> 00:05:38,275
they're gonna chew through
that ground like crazy.
99
00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:40,655
narrator:
25-year-old Parker schnabel
100
00:05:40,689 --> 00:05:44,448
has turbocharged his operation
in a desperate bid
101
00:05:44,482 --> 00:05:46,827
to mine the rest of his ground.
102
00:05:46,862 --> 00:05:48,655
Parker: we've got about 5 weeks
left in the season,
103
00:05:48,689 --> 00:05:50,724
and we've still got a lot
of ground to get through.
104
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:53,034
probably -- i don't know --
35% or so.
105
00:05:53,068 --> 00:05:55,172
we spent a lot of money
in the crater cut.
106
00:05:55,206 --> 00:05:56,896
hopefully it pays off.
107
00:05:56,931 --> 00:06:01,448
narrator:
he's set up two wash plants
to run the crater cut pay dirt.
108
00:06:01,482 --> 00:06:03,551
Parker: we've never had
two wash plants in a cut before,
109
00:06:03,586 --> 00:06:06,827
and i'm sure there's gonna be
some growing pains,
110
00:06:06,862 --> 00:06:11,034
but it's pretty bad-ass.
111
00:06:16,586 --> 00:06:19,448
narrator: half a mile away,
in the crater cut,
112
00:06:19,482 --> 00:06:23,758
co-foreman Brennan ruault loads
rock trucks with gold-rich pay.
113
00:06:25,965 --> 00:06:28,172
Brennan:
definitely is pretty bad-ass
114
00:06:28,206 --> 00:06:31,517
seeing both those plants
running side by side.
115
00:06:31,551 --> 00:06:33,724
it's definitely something
we don't see every day.
116
00:06:33,758 --> 00:06:36,310
just as long as we keep this pay
going down to that plant,
117
00:06:36,344 --> 00:06:39,137
then everything
should be golden.
118
00:06:39,172 --> 00:06:42,482
narrator: three rock trucks haul
the pay to the stockpile,
119
00:06:42,517 --> 00:06:45,172
where loader operator
Bree Harrison feeds
120
00:06:45,206 --> 00:06:48,103
big red and sluicifer.
121
00:06:48,137 --> 00:06:50,310
we're really making it
through this dirt,
122
00:06:50,344 --> 00:06:53,034
and things are looking good.
123
00:06:53,068 --> 00:06:58,448
narrator:
but running both plants 24/7
is creating a new challenge.
124
00:06:58,482 --> 00:07:02,275
with both these plants going,
this tiny little stockpile
125
00:07:02,310 --> 00:07:05,482
ain't gonna do the job for us.
126
00:07:05,517 --> 00:07:07,862
hey, Mitch.how's it going?
127
00:07:07,896 --> 00:07:10,068
what are these plants
doing for yardage?
128
00:07:10,103 --> 00:07:12,103
you know, when we crank them up
and get them maxed out,
129
00:07:12,137 --> 00:07:13,965
we'll be at 500 yards
an hour.
130
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,793
this stockpile ain't even
gonna get us close.
131
00:07:16,827 --> 00:07:19,896
i don't know how we're gonna
hold out night shifts.
132
00:07:19,931 --> 00:07:23,413
narrator: their rock trucks
only run 12 hours a day,
133
00:07:23,448 --> 00:07:26,000
so to keep the plants
fed overnight,
134
00:07:26,034 --> 00:07:29,620
they need to haul 1,000 yards
of pay dirt an hour.
135
00:07:31,827 --> 00:07:34,689
the trucks haul
about 27 yards a load.
136
00:07:34,724 --> 00:07:37,172
that's just a little
over 400 loads in a day,
137
00:07:37,206 --> 00:07:39,551
and that means we got to truck
400 loads in 12 hours.
138
00:07:39,586 --> 00:07:41,103
right.
139
00:07:41,137 --> 00:07:44,896
so Brennan's gonna have to
just drop everything and truck
140
00:07:44,931 --> 00:07:46,310
12 hours a day, huh?
141
00:07:46,344 --> 00:07:47,827
it's gonna be tough.
yeah.
142
00:07:47,862 --> 00:07:49,275
it's gonna take everything
we got to keep up
143
00:07:49,310 --> 00:07:51,172
with these two plants.
144
00:07:51,206 --> 00:07:53,310
you've just got to put
every body you can in a truck
145
00:07:53,344 --> 00:07:55,551
and do whatever
you can to keep up.
146
00:07:55,586 --> 00:07:56,724
all right, man.yeah, no problem.
147
00:07:56,758 --> 00:07:58,551
hopefully we can make
a Mountain here.
148
00:08:01,172 --> 00:08:03,413
Brennan: Parker just radioed me
and said i have to make sure
149
00:08:03,448 --> 00:08:06,000
i haul enough pay down
to both those wash plants
150
00:08:06,034 --> 00:08:09,379
to run for 24 hours straight
'cause we only load for 12.
151
00:08:09,413 --> 00:08:13,310
it's go, go, go, go, go to try
and keep these plants running.
152
00:08:13,344 --> 00:08:16,758
narrator:
to move 400 loads in 12 hours,
153
00:08:16,793 --> 00:08:20,000
co-foreman Brennan faces
a tough challenge --
154
00:08:20,034 --> 00:08:23,068
fill each rock truck
in the crater cut,
155
00:08:23,103 --> 00:08:26,896
have it haul the pay
half a mile to the pay pile,
156
00:08:26,931 --> 00:08:31,413
and come back to the cut
ready to load in just 5 minutes.
157
00:08:31,448 --> 00:08:33,275
Aaron:
oh, we're having a tough time.
158
00:08:33,310 --> 00:08:36,344
Brennan's goal is 400 truckloads
a day, and we're hauling ass.
159
00:08:36,379 --> 00:08:37,896
hard to keep up.
160
00:08:37,931 --> 00:08:40,103
Dennis: it's gonna be a long end
of the season
161
00:08:40,137 --> 00:08:41,620
to get all this pay dirt out,
162
00:08:41,655 --> 00:08:44,068
but obviously
Parker's calculator
163
00:08:44,103 --> 00:08:45,586
works different
than everybody else's.
164
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:49,896
so he's doing the paying,
so he'll do the saying, i guess.
165
00:08:49,931 --> 00:08:52,965
Brennan: the rock trucks are
going flat-out all day long.
166
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,206
you know, they're passing
each other,
167
00:08:54,241 --> 00:08:55,827
doing 100 Miles an hour.
168
00:08:59,586 --> 00:09:01,103
look at the do that.
169
00:09:06,517 --> 00:09:08,206
hey! hey! hey!
170
00:09:14,931 --> 00:09:16,172
Dennis!
171
00:09:32,034 --> 00:09:33,793
Dennis!
172
00:09:52,862 --> 00:09:54,793
Mitch: i'm just glad
you're all right.
173
00:09:54,827 --> 00:09:57,896
see something new
every day.
174
00:09:57,931 --> 00:10:00,965
narrator: racing to build
a massive pile of pay dirt
175
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,551
to keep both wash plants fed
has backfired on Parker's crew.
176
00:10:05,586 --> 00:10:07,896
i try to keep up
with Brennan in the 750.
177
00:10:07,931 --> 00:10:09,724
he throws the loads in
so quick.
178
00:10:09,758 --> 00:10:11,034
so we kind of get
ahead of ourselves
179
00:10:11,068 --> 00:10:12,620
and try to drive
as fast as we can,
180
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:15,931
but obviously just
a little bit too fast, so...
181
00:10:15,965 --> 00:10:17,862
i know he needs to get
his 400 loads a day down here,
182
00:10:17,896 --> 00:10:19,413
but you guys can't be
driving this quick.
183
00:10:19,448 --> 00:10:21,068
yeah.
184
00:10:21,103 --> 00:10:24,689
every hour Dennis' truck
is out of action means
185
00:10:24,724 --> 00:10:29,000
12 fewer loads
on the stockpile.
186
00:10:29,034 --> 00:10:31,620
when we roll it back over,
the truck rolled that way,
187
00:10:31,655 --> 00:10:33,310
so we have to bring it
back this way.
188
00:10:33,344 --> 00:10:36,103
if this thing starts twisting
too much or we lose it,
189
00:10:36,137 --> 00:10:37,862
we're gonna snap
those hydraulic lines off.
190
00:10:37,896 --> 00:10:39,068
Dennis: okay.
191
00:10:46,655 --> 00:10:49,586
Dennis' rock truck
is articulated.
192
00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:51,758
okay, i'm in place, Mitch.
193
00:10:51,793 --> 00:10:57,827
so when the payload flipped,
the cab stayed upright.
194
00:10:57,862 --> 00:10:59,344
Mitch: you guys watch out.
195
00:10:59,379 --> 00:11:02,586
when this thing hammers down,
might go flying.
196
00:11:03,758 --> 00:11:05,655
here she comes.
197
00:11:20,620 --> 00:11:22,448
nicely done.
198
00:11:22,482 --> 00:11:24,137
man, that's a really good
feeling to see it back
199
00:11:24,172 --> 00:11:25,896
on its wheels and tires.
200
00:11:31,034 --> 00:11:32,724
Dennis having that rollover
in the truck,
201
00:11:32,758 --> 00:11:35,137
it's really screwed
my day over.
202
00:11:35,172 --> 00:11:38,000
it's gonna drop my numbers
pretty significant here.
203
00:11:38,034 --> 00:11:40,137
ohh!
204
00:11:42,655 --> 00:11:45,827
narrator: with one rock truck
out of action all day,
205
00:11:45,862 --> 00:11:52,620
by the end of the shift, Brennan
has only managed 250 loads.
206
00:11:52,655 --> 00:11:55,551
well, did you get
your 400 loads out today?
207
00:11:55,586 --> 00:11:57,793
no, i definitely didn't hit
400 loads today, man.
208
00:11:57,827 --> 00:12:00,758
Dennis rolled
his truck, and...
209
00:12:00,793 --> 00:12:03,862
Mitch: you know, he just was
coming down too fast.
210
00:12:03,896 --> 00:12:05,689
is he all right?
211
00:12:05,724 --> 00:12:07,896
yeah, no, he seems, you know --
he's fine.
212
00:12:07,931 --> 00:12:10,448
so, what are we gonna do
about the plants?
213
00:12:10,482 --> 00:12:11,758
well, there's definitely
not enough dirt
214
00:12:11,793 --> 00:12:12,827
to get through tonight.
215
00:12:12,862 --> 00:12:14,724
yeah.so do we shut one down?
216
00:12:14,758 --> 00:12:16,068
i mean, we're either gonna --
you're gonna shut
217
00:12:16,103 --> 00:12:17,448
one down now,
or you're gonna shut them
218
00:12:17,482 --> 00:12:18,517
both down in the middle
of the night.
219
00:12:18,551 --> 00:12:20,689
right.
all right.
220
00:12:20,724 --> 00:12:21,931
well, let's do that, then,
221
00:12:21,965 --> 00:12:25,172
and we'll go ahead
and shut big red down.
222
00:12:25,206 --> 00:12:27,931
probably cost us 15
or 20 ounces of gold.
223
00:12:31,551 --> 00:12:33,965
narrator:
sluicifer is now the only plant
224
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,965
running on night shift.
225
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,137
no dirt, no washing rocks.
226
00:12:51,862 --> 00:12:53,896
Rick: the hopper, it's all
blown apart inside,
227
00:12:53,931 --> 00:12:57,206
so we lost almost
1/2 day of sluicing
228
00:12:57,241 --> 00:12:59,620
because we shut down early.
229
00:12:59,655 --> 00:13:01,689
narrator:
monster red is shut down.
230
00:13:01,724 --> 00:13:04,931
coarse rocks have destroyed
the tailing's hopper.
231
00:13:04,965 --> 00:13:07,344
Rick has no gold coming in.
232
00:13:07,379 --> 00:13:09,482
his chances of making a profit
233
00:13:09,517 --> 00:13:13,034
and paying his guys
a bonus are slipping away.
234
00:13:13,068 --> 00:13:15,793
zee: it's just, this ground's
really rough on equipment.
235
00:13:15,827 --> 00:13:19,000
everything's kind of on
borrowed time here right now.
236
00:13:19,034 --> 00:13:21,206
narrator: at the lay-down yard,
the pressure
237
00:13:21,241 --> 00:13:25,137
is on mechanic Carl rosk
to modify a spare hopper
238
00:13:25,172 --> 00:13:29,241
to withstand the impact
of the claim's big boulders.
239
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:31,482
what do you think, buddy?
how long is it gonna take?
240
00:13:31,517 --> 00:13:32,931
i got way too much work
to do.
241
00:13:32,965 --> 00:13:35,413
nothing's happening
anytime quick, right?
242
00:13:36,896 --> 00:13:38,827
they could been up there
welding the whole time, right?
243
00:13:38,862 --> 00:13:40,448
yeah.
right off.
244
00:13:40,482 --> 00:13:42,758
watch one guy work
like normal, right?
245
00:13:44,862 --> 00:13:46,586
we've got a lot of work
inside here, right?
246
00:13:46,620 --> 00:13:48,482
if i work on this tonight
and inside here,
247
00:13:48,517 --> 00:13:50,482
i'll be here
till 10:00 tonight, right?
248
00:13:57,310 --> 00:13:59,310
is Carl laying down,
fixing stuff?
249
00:13:59,344 --> 00:14:00,862
he's got a lot to do,
right?
250
00:14:00,896 --> 00:14:03,448
yeah, i mean, they're gonna
be welding plates on and stuff.
251
00:14:03,482 --> 00:14:06,793
i'd be surprised if we even
start back up.
252
00:14:06,827 --> 00:14:09,034
i might go in the gold room
and do some chores
253
00:14:09,068 --> 00:14:12,655
i got to do and just be
on the radio when...
254
00:14:12,689 --> 00:14:13,689
all right.
255
00:14:19,862 --> 00:14:22,344
ah, Jay made pork loin
last night.
256
00:14:22,379 --> 00:14:23,965
a pork loin sandwich.
257
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,827
narrator: as Carl reinforces
the hopper...
258
00:14:30,655 --> 00:14:32,379
it's a pretty big deal to get
done at the end of the day
259
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:34,103
and have a good meal
like this.
260
00:14:34,137 --> 00:14:35,551
a nice, hearty meal.
261
00:14:35,586 --> 00:14:39,448
...Rick and the rest
of his crew call it a day.
262
00:14:39,482 --> 00:14:40,862
good thing
Carl's not here
263
00:14:40,896 --> 00:14:43,448
'cause these skewers --
he'd definitely lose an eye.
264
00:14:44,517 --> 00:14:46,344
he'd try to eat it like this.
265
00:14:47,862 --> 00:14:49,448
"whoa!"
-"whoa-ho-ho!
266
00:14:49,482 --> 00:14:50,689
there's wood
in the middle!"
267
00:14:50,724 --> 00:14:52,379
zee:
"oh, how do you do this?"
268
00:14:52,413 --> 00:14:55,379
no way. unreal.
269
00:15:00,103 --> 00:15:01,896
lazy pieces
of
270
00:15:01,931 --> 00:15:03,241
i'm sick of it.
271
00:15:11,068 --> 00:15:12,344
come on in.
272
00:15:12,379 --> 00:15:14,379
narrator:
after everyone else quit early,
273
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:16,275
Carl and operator mark
274
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:20,758
worked into the night to
strengthen the tailing's hopper.
275
00:15:20,793 --> 00:15:22,689
okay, tip it back!
276
00:15:22,724 --> 00:15:25,689
no, it's good now.
277
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:27,586
all right?
big
278
00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:29,931
big rush to get that in there,
and we've got
279
00:15:29,965 --> 00:15:31,931
3 hours' worth
of welding left, right?
280
00:15:31,965 --> 00:15:34,655
yeah.what a bunch of idiots.
281
00:15:34,689 --> 00:15:36,758
everybody knew we were down.
everyone knew we had problems.
282
00:15:36,793 --> 00:15:38,931
did anybody stay late
last night? me and mark did.
283
00:15:38,965 --> 00:15:40,896
i worked till 10:00
last night to get as much done.
284
00:15:40,931 --> 00:15:43,000
and i got here early.
got everything going, right?
285
00:15:43,034 --> 00:15:44,896
everyone's, like,
pressuring, like, "we
got to go get this in."
286
00:15:44,931 --> 00:15:46,482
it's like, "yeah, we
can get that in there,
287
00:15:46,517 --> 00:15:49,000
we've got 3 or 4 hours'
worth of welding to do," right?
288
00:15:49,034 --> 00:15:50,896
drives me nuts.
289
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:57,862
Carl's leaving?
290
00:15:57,896 --> 00:15:59,517
you're kidding.
291
00:16:01,793 --> 00:16:03,551
damn it.
292
00:16:09,586 --> 00:16:10,689
this guy.
293
00:16:14,862 --> 00:16:17,827
i don't understand how you go
from me talking to you, zero,
294
00:16:17,862 --> 00:16:20,517
to all of a sudden,
you're in the back of my truck.
295
00:16:24,344 --> 00:16:25,586
that's such
296
00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:28,586
that's such
297
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:30,241
you know
that's not the case.
298
00:16:45,172 --> 00:16:46,448
yeah, and we just had
a talk about it,
299
00:16:46,482 --> 00:16:47,827
about how we were gonna
get through the rest
300
00:16:47,862 --> 00:16:49,000
of this season!
301
00:16:49,034 --> 00:16:50,827
we'll deal with it
next year!
302
00:16:52,034 --> 00:16:53,896
we talked about this.
303
00:16:53,931 --> 00:16:55,931
i said i stupidly thought
things would get better,
304
00:16:55,965 --> 00:16:57,068
and we talked about it
305
00:16:57,103 --> 00:16:58,896
and came to
a conclusion.
306
00:17:13,241 --> 00:17:15,896
he's lost it this time,
307
00:17:15,931 --> 00:17:19,000
so i'm not gonna
sit here and beg.
308
00:17:32,034 --> 00:17:35,172
Carl:
sick of it, man.
309
00:17:35,206 --> 00:17:38,931
so he can get himself
a mechanic,
310
00:17:38,965 --> 00:17:41,655
see how the
that works out for him.
311
00:17:41,689 --> 00:17:43,793
'cause there's nobody here
that could work
312
00:17:43,827 --> 00:17:45,827
a 12-hour day.
313
00:17:45,862 --> 00:17:49,034
narrator:
the ness crew is falling apart.
314
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:52,758
after an argument
with Rick, Carl has quit.
315
00:17:52,793 --> 00:17:55,172
i kind of get
his point of view.
316
00:17:55,206 --> 00:17:57,275
i do, too.
317
00:17:57,310 --> 00:17:59,655
i mean, that's why i'm trying
to just settle down right now.
318
00:17:59,689 --> 00:18:01,206
i mean, it's true.
319
00:18:01,241 --> 00:18:03,482
it's pretty disorganized.
320
00:18:03,517 --> 00:18:06,620
and it's just hard to...
321
00:18:06,655 --> 00:18:08,206
it's hard to see people
not pull their weight
322
00:18:08,241 --> 00:18:10,000
when they
could be helping out.
323
00:18:10,034 --> 00:18:11,413
mm-hmm.
324
00:18:11,448 --> 00:18:14,103
there shouldn't be any bad
blood, you know. like...
325
00:18:14,137 --> 00:18:15,793
he just told me to take
my gold bonus
326
00:18:15,827 --> 00:18:18,793
and shove it up my ass.
327
00:18:18,827 --> 00:18:20,896
there kind of
is bad blood.
328
00:18:20,931 --> 00:18:22,827
i mean, he knows
329
00:18:22,862 --> 00:18:24,517
he's the most important
part of this crew.
330
00:18:24,551 --> 00:18:25,931
yeah.
331
00:18:25,965 --> 00:18:29,551
i tell him that
all the time.
332
00:18:29,586 --> 00:18:32,103
i mean, a part of me
really wants to reach out
333
00:18:32,137 --> 00:18:34,517
and see if there's
any last hail Mary.
334
00:18:34,551 --> 00:18:36,137
i'm not in the mood
to beg right now.
335
00:18:36,172 --> 00:18:38,379
yeah. right. i get you.
336
00:18:38,413 --> 00:18:40,517
i'm just gonna wait a bit
before i go talk to him again.
337
00:18:40,551 --> 00:18:42,620
yeah. you should.
338
00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:44,344
okay. sorry, Rick.
339
00:19:08,482 --> 00:19:11,413
narrator: after being forced
out of Indian river,
340
00:19:11,448 --> 00:19:14,413
Tony beets' best hope
of turning a profit
341
00:19:14,448 --> 00:19:18,724
was to run three operations
out of his paradise hill base.
342
00:19:26,379 --> 00:19:31,172
Kevin's shaker was shut down
after producing just 50 ounces,
343
00:19:31,206 --> 00:19:34,172
and Monica has been
frozen out of the honker cut.
344
00:19:45,172 --> 00:19:48,620
Mike's trommel has been
running 300 yards an hour,
345
00:19:48,655 --> 00:19:50,793
but despite a deep pay layer,
346
00:19:50,827 --> 00:19:54,344
the ground at the mega-cut
has been patchy.
347
00:19:54,379 --> 00:19:56,517
if my plant wasn't running
this year,
348
00:19:56,551 --> 00:19:59,448
we wouldn't be making no gold
for a majority of it,
349
00:19:59,482 --> 00:20:02,758
which would have made it
a very skimpy year this year.
350
00:20:02,793 --> 00:20:07,655
narrator:
now, $1.1 million short
of where he was last season,
351
00:20:07,689 --> 00:20:11,758
Tony's counting on a big payday
from Mike's operation.
352
00:20:13,793 --> 00:20:15,724
-hey, pa.
-hola.
353
00:20:25,862 --> 00:20:27,379
Monica: who are
you gonna put on nights?
354
00:20:39,482 --> 00:20:40,586
mm-hmm.
355
00:20:47,793 --> 00:20:53,241
narrator:
running Mike's trommel 24/7
should help the family catch up.
356
00:20:53,275 --> 00:20:56,172
so, Tony kind of sprang
this night shift on Mike
357
00:20:56,206 --> 00:20:57,965
and i at the trommel
358
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,137
because it's really the most
reliable thing we have for gold.
359
00:21:03,172 --> 00:21:04,931
narrator:
while Monica feeds the plant...
360
00:21:04,965 --> 00:21:08,793
they've got such a good cut
open here at the trommel that,
361
00:21:08,827 --> 00:21:11,448
you know,
we really got to just push it.
362
00:21:11,482 --> 00:21:14,000
narrator: ...mike loads
rock trucks in the cut.
363
00:21:14,034 --> 00:21:16,862
Mike: on night shift,
it's very simple always
364
00:21:16,896 --> 00:21:20,206
to basically double
our sluicing time,
365
00:21:20,241 --> 00:21:23,827
double the amount of dirt
we have sending through.
366
00:21:23,862 --> 00:21:26,413
the more we can keep going,
the more gold we got.
367
00:21:26,448 --> 00:21:27,965
Monica:
368
00:21:30,172 --> 00:21:34,310
i am not feeling overly great
right now,
369
00:21:34,344 --> 00:21:38,620
and i kind of feel
like throwing up,
370
00:21:38,655 --> 00:21:43,310
but i don't want to be
the reason we stop sluicing.
371
00:21:57,551 --> 00:21:59,482
Michael, do you copy?
Michael?
372
00:22:01,241 --> 00:22:03,034
yeah, go ahead.
373
00:22:03,068 --> 00:22:05,517
would you be able to come here
for 5 minutes?
374
00:22:05,551 --> 00:22:07,551
yeah, i'll be up there
in a minute.
375
00:22:17,896 --> 00:22:20,137
how's it going, Monica?
376
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:22,448
i feel like
a trash panda.
377
00:22:22,482 --> 00:22:25,000
to be polite, you kind
of look like one, too.
378
00:22:25,034 --> 00:22:27,068
if you're feeling
like Monica,
379
00:22:27,103 --> 00:22:28,689
why don't you head home,
and i'll hop on this
380
00:22:28,724 --> 00:22:30,758
and finish
off the shift with it?
381
00:22:30,793 --> 00:22:33,034
are you sure?
382
00:22:33,068 --> 00:22:34,482
get some rest.
383
00:22:38,482 --> 00:22:41,137
Mike: it's a shame
my sister got sick,
384
00:22:41,172 --> 00:22:44,517
but it's better to lose a night
right now
385
00:22:44,551 --> 00:22:48,793
than it is to have
her sick for the next four.
386
00:22:48,827 --> 00:22:52,275
narrator: Mike is left to run
the night shift alone.
387
00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:54,241
if we ain't
washing dirt,
388
00:22:54,275 --> 00:22:56,137
we're just going backwards,
so...
389
00:22:59,275 --> 00:23:01,482
what the
was that sound?
390
00:23:04,413 --> 00:23:05,862
that's not a healthy sound.
391
00:23:05,896 --> 00:23:08,206
i better get my brother to check
on that in the morning
392
00:23:08,241 --> 00:23:11,862
because i ain't mechanic
of the crew here.
393
00:23:17,689 --> 00:23:20,482
narrator: next morning,
eldest son Kevin beets
394
00:23:20,517 --> 00:23:24,448
and mechanic Juan ibarra arrive
at the trommel to investigate.
395
00:23:26,896 --> 00:23:28,379
ah.
396
00:23:28,413 --> 00:23:30,034
here it is.
397
00:23:32,172 --> 00:23:33,344
right there.
398
00:23:33,379 --> 00:23:35,551
there's a massive crack
right on the frame.
399
00:23:45,413 --> 00:23:46,586
Kevin: what?
400
00:23:49,206 --> 00:23:50,275
what?
401
00:23:52,827 --> 00:23:54,000
right here.
402
00:24:09,034 --> 00:24:13,275
narrator:
Mike's trommel is Tony's
only means of catching gold.
403
00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:17,724
every hour it's down
costs $2,500.
404
00:24:30,724 --> 00:24:33,275
okay.
okay.
405
00:24:33,310 --> 00:24:36,551
the gearbox frame has cracked,
406
00:24:36,586 --> 00:24:40,862
so the drive gear is rammed hard
against the cog on the trommel.
407
00:24:40,896 --> 00:24:44,896
Tony's plan -- weld the cracked
beam at the base,
408
00:24:44,931 --> 00:24:47,241
then adjust the gearbox unit
409
00:24:47,275 --> 00:24:50,758
to align the two gears
perfectly.
410
00:24:50,793 --> 00:24:53,000
Juan: this is the ideal
welding conditions --
411
00:24:53,034 --> 00:24:55,758
surrounded by grease
and in a corner.
412
00:24:59,655 --> 00:25:01,862
watch out.
413
00:25:01,896 --> 00:25:03,758
narrator:
Kevin grinds off the welds
414
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:07,793
attaching the gearbox
to the frame.
415
00:25:07,827 --> 00:25:09,931
we're trying to push this
whole gearbox over a little bit
416
00:25:09,965 --> 00:25:12,137
to get a little more
clearance on those gears.
417
00:25:14,379 --> 00:25:15,344
all right. ready, kev?
418
00:25:15,379 --> 00:25:17,793
yeah. let's go.
419
00:25:17,827 --> 00:25:21,275
narrator: Kevin and Juan crank
the gearbox back into position.
420
00:25:25,896 --> 00:25:26,862
good?
421
00:25:31,379 --> 00:25:32,586
yes. ready?
422
00:25:40,620 --> 00:25:46,000
after a fix costing $7,500
in lost gold,
423
00:25:46,034 --> 00:25:48,482
Tony needs to keep
running the night shift
424
00:25:48,517 --> 00:25:50,965
to make up for lost time.
425
00:26:08,344 --> 00:26:10,724
well, with Dennis rolling
the rock truck yesterday,
426
00:26:10,758 --> 00:26:13,586
i never made that
400-load-a-day quota,
427
00:26:13,620 --> 00:26:16,551
so hopefully we can
make up for it now.
428
00:26:16,586 --> 00:26:19,931
narrator: co-foreman Brennan
failed to haul enough pay dirt
429
00:26:19,965 --> 00:26:24,448
to build a stockpile and keep
the two plants running 24/7.
430
00:26:28,034 --> 00:26:30,137
after Dennis' truck flipped,
431
00:26:30,172 --> 00:26:33,241
Parker sends a grader
to repair the road.
432
00:26:36,413 --> 00:26:38,103
how's it going?oh, not too bad.
433
00:26:38,137 --> 00:26:40,034
so, we've got to get
400 loads,
434
00:26:40,068 --> 00:26:41,413
or our night shift
is
435
00:26:41,448 --> 00:26:44,275
we've got to have a lot
of pay stacked up.
436
00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:45,689
yeah.
yeah, for sure.
437
00:26:45,724 --> 00:26:47,379
like a Mountain.
a Mountain?
438
00:26:47,413 --> 00:26:49,000
of money!
of money.
439
00:26:49,034 --> 00:26:50,137
show me the money!
440
00:26:50,172 --> 00:26:52,241
-show me the money!
-yeah!
441
00:26:52,275 --> 00:26:53,793
hey, boys, we got to get
400 loads
442
00:26:53,827 --> 00:26:55,241
and then start building
a Mountain down there
443
00:26:55,275 --> 00:26:56,482
at the wash plant, okay?
444
00:26:56,517 --> 00:27:00,206
yeah, you bet, buddy.
let's get her done.
445
00:27:00,241 --> 00:27:03,689
narrator: for the next 10 hours,
Brennan sends rock trucks
446
00:27:03,724 --> 00:27:07,103
to the plants loaded
with gold-rich pay.
447
00:27:09,413 --> 00:27:12,379
it's pretty crazy here today.
448
00:27:12,413 --> 00:27:14,275
Brennan's trying to hit
his 400 loads a day,
449
00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:16,344
and we're just
driving like crazy out here,
450
00:27:16,379 --> 00:27:18,000
trying to keep up with him.
451
00:27:22,862 --> 00:27:24,724
you know, i'm coming up
on shift change right now,
452
00:27:24,758 --> 00:27:27,103
and i'm just not as far
as i thought i'd be.
453
00:27:27,137 --> 00:27:28,655
pretty disappointing.
454
00:27:28,689 --> 00:27:31,482
narrator: after working flat-out
to hit the target,
455
00:27:31,517 --> 00:27:35,206
the day shift is over.
456
00:27:35,241 --> 00:27:38,379
hey, Brennan.
so, how'd we do there today?
457
00:27:38,413 --> 00:27:40,724
well, buddy,
458
00:27:40,758 --> 00:27:43,103
we didn't get
our 400 loads a day.
459
00:27:43,137 --> 00:27:45,310
oh, you got to be
kidding me!
460
00:27:45,344 --> 00:27:47,620
we gave it
everything we had!
461
00:27:47,655 --> 00:27:49,034
oh, for sure.
462
00:27:49,068 --> 00:27:50,862
see you back at camp.
463
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,931
money Mountain's looking more
like a molehill down there.
464
00:27:55,965 --> 00:27:58,103
what happened?
465
00:27:58,137 --> 00:27:59,413
we were giving her hell
all day long.
466
00:27:59,448 --> 00:28:01,379
i know Aaron and those boys
are pretty tired.
467
00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:03,931
i'm trying to keep
that wash plant running.
468
00:28:07,724 --> 00:28:08,931
what do you want me
to do, then?
469
00:28:08,965 --> 00:28:11,482
i already sent the boys home.all right.
470
00:28:11,517 --> 00:28:12,724
sling some fuel
in this
471
00:28:12,758 --> 00:28:14,275
i'll go get a truck.
472
00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:15,724
you're gonna go hop
in a truck?
473
00:28:15,758 --> 00:28:18,068
yeah.
let's get it done.
474
00:28:22,103 --> 00:28:24,241
i'm not sure how i got myself
roped into this,
475
00:28:24,275 --> 00:28:27,137
but we've got a pay Mountain
to build here,
476
00:28:27,172 --> 00:28:28,931
so i'm driving truck.
477
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:32,379
Parker decided,
"let's stay late here."
478
00:28:32,413 --> 00:28:33,862
we're gonna need everything
that we can get
479
00:28:33,896 --> 00:28:36,689
to keep
both those plants running.
480
00:28:36,724 --> 00:28:40,137
narrator: mine boss and foreman
build up the stockpile
481
00:28:40,172 --> 00:28:43,241
while both wash plants
run through the night.
482
00:28:43,275 --> 00:28:45,448
about an hour into the night,
getting done,
483
00:28:45,482 --> 00:28:46,655
and i know
when he's on a mission
484
00:28:46,689 --> 00:28:49,103
and i'm on a mission,
we can make a lot happen.
485
00:28:49,137 --> 00:28:50,448
Parker:
now that we've got sluicifer
486
00:28:50,482 --> 00:28:52,172
and big red
set up down there
487
00:28:52,206 --> 00:28:55,448
side by side, they're gonna
do 400 or 500 yards an hour,
488
00:28:55,482 --> 00:28:57,103
and we have to be
able to keep up.
489
00:28:57,137 --> 00:29:00,379
and so any pay Mountain
we can build right now
490
00:29:00,413 --> 00:29:03,689
is gonna help us
try to maintain that feed rate.
491
00:29:07,551 --> 00:29:09,448
nowwe're getting somewhere.
492
00:29:09,482 --> 00:29:11,068
we've got to keep pushing.
493
00:29:14,034 --> 00:29:16,172
what the
494
00:29:16,206 --> 00:29:19,137
lights go out?
really?
495
00:29:22,793 --> 00:29:24,344
what's going on there,
boss?
496
00:29:24,379 --> 00:29:25,586
my lights
shorted out
497
00:29:25,620 --> 00:29:27,862
and then just quit
working completely.
498
00:29:27,896 --> 00:29:29,137
well, that's not good.
499
00:29:29,172 --> 00:29:30,896
i can't see Jack
down there.
500
00:29:30,931 --> 00:29:32,517
no, i can imagine.
501
00:29:32,551 --> 00:29:34,551
but thanks for sticking around
and doing that.
502
00:29:34,586 --> 00:29:36,586
yeah, no problem.
i'll see you back at camp.
503
00:29:38,413 --> 00:29:40,034
well, let's hope we have
a big-enough pile
504
00:29:40,068 --> 00:29:43,275
down at the plant there
to keep everything running.
505
00:29:43,310 --> 00:29:45,034
we're just gonna have to wait
till the daylight
506
00:29:45,068 --> 00:29:47,379
in the morning and see
what the results look like here.
507
00:29:59,241 --> 00:30:01,137
Parker: we've got a bit
of a Mountain down there!
508
00:30:01,172 --> 00:30:02,689
Brennan: not too bad, eh?yeah.
509
00:30:02,724 --> 00:30:05,206
i wasn't expecting that we got
through that much, so...
510
00:30:05,241 --> 00:30:06,586
man, those wash plants
are gonna chew
511
00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:07,827
through some dirt, though.oh, right.
512
00:30:07,862 --> 00:30:09,413
we're gonna need every yard
we can get.
513
00:30:09,448 --> 00:30:10,827
that is for sure.
514
00:30:10,862 --> 00:30:12,275
eh, doze?
515
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:13,896
eh, buddy?
516
00:30:17,034 --> 00:30:19,758
narrator: Parker and Brennan
have stockpiled enough pay
517
00:30:19,793 --> 00:30:24,103
to keep big red
and sluicifer running 24/7.
518
00:30:24,137 --> 00:30:26,068
well, i appreciate you staying
late and getting that done.
519
00:30:26,103 --> 00:30:27,758
it makes a big difference.yeah, no worries.
520
00:30:27,793 --> 00:30:29,758
any time.
-come on.
521
00:30:31,482 --> 00:30:32,517
in.
522
00:30:44,068 --> 00:30:47,862
narrator: Rick ness' whole
operation is at a standstill.
523
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,551
mechanic Carl,
isolated and angry, has quit.
524
00:30:56,172 --> 00:30:58,655
it's been building,
and if he leaves,
525
00:30:58,689 --> 00:31:02,344
we're in a pretty bad spot.
526
00:31:02,379 --> 00:31:03,517
a lot of issues here
527
00:31:03,551 --> 00:31:06,862
that should've been
addressed earlier.
528
00:31:10,275 --> 00:31:12,310
narrator:
after their explosive argument,
529
00:31:12,344 --> 00:31:17,517
karla has persuaded Rick
and Carl to sit down and talk.
530
00:31:17,551 --> 00:31:19,586
Carl: absolute joke
down there, man.
531
00:31:19,620 --> 00:31:21,586
right down there, right now,
a joke.
532
00:31:21,620 --> 00:31:22,689
and nobody
wants to work, right?
533
00:31:22,724 --> 00:31:24,137
that's
that piss-poor attitude.
534
00:31:24,172 --> 00:31:26,344
and it's like beating your head
on a wall, man.
535
00:31:26,379 --> 00:31:28,034
i didn't know anything
about this, Carl.
536
00:31:28,068 --> 00:31:30,655
i've been doing my best to try
and make it work,
537
00:31:30,689 --> 00:31:32,827
but the only way that i see
through it is to finish,
538
00:31:32,862 --> 00:31:36,068
try to learn something,
and come back.
539
00:31:36,103 --> 00:31:37,482
but the fact
of the matter is,
540
00:31:37,517 --> 00:31:39,344
i'm supposed to be part
of the team, and i'm not.
541
00:31:39,379 --> 00:31:40,551
rain or shine,
i'm in there.
542
00:31:40,586 --> 00:31:41,931
pouring rain,
out there welding, right,
543
00:31:41,965 --> 00:31:43,758
while everyone's sitting
in their trucks, doing whatever.
544
00:31:43,793 --> 00:31:46,413
it's mostly my fault, just not
being hard enough on these guys
545
00:31:46,448 --> 00:31:48,000
and
drilling it into them.
546
00:31:48,034 --> 00:31:50,241
karla: Carl, you're the backbone
of this place, and...
547
00:31:50,275 --> 00:31:51,448
i know, and it's just,
like i say...
548
00:31:51,482 --> 00:31:52,724
we need to keep you around.
549
00:31:52,758 --> 00:31:54,206
like, seriously,
we're pretty much done.
550
00:31:54,241 --> 00:31:55,551
i'd like to think that
i'm an important person,
551
00:31:55,586 --> 00:31:57,689
and then when i don't get
treated like i'm important...
552
00:31:57,724 --> 00:32:00,379
it upsets me that you think
that i don't think that.
553
00:32:00,413 --> 00:32:02,034
like, right now,
i'm trying to just...
554
00:32:02,068 --> 00:32:03,586
survive....limp us all out of here
555
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:05,724
with our shirts
on our backs, really.
556
00:32:05,758 --> 00:32:07,448
and the thing is,
is that we can.
557
00:32:07,482 --> 00:32:10,137
like, we're definitely not
gonna do what we set out to do,
558
00:32:10,172 --> 00:32:12,827
but, i mean,
we can get out of here,
559
00:32:12,862 --> 00:32:14,689
we can all go home
with gold,
560
00:32:14,724 --> 00:32:16,931
and i can go home
without losing any money again.
561
00:32:16,965 --> 00:32:18,344
well, you see my concerns,
right?
562
00:32:18,379 --> 00:32:20,758
like, it...yeah, no, i get it.
563
00:32:20,793 --> 00:32:22,620
i'm not saying you're not
justified at all.
564
00:32:22,655 --> 00:32:24,206
what do you guys
want to do?
565
00:32:24,241 --> 00:32:26,172
i'd like you to stay.yeah.
566
00:32:26,206 --> 00:32:29,448
you know, i spoke my mind here,
and i know.
567
00:32:29,482 --> 00:32:31,758
i'm better.
i'm sorry for being rude to you.
568
00:32:31,793 --> 00:32:32,758
i apologize.
569
00:32:32,793 --> 00:32:34,620
like i said, i was hot,
and...
570
00:32:34,655 --> 00:32:36,896
yeah, i know.
571
00:32:36,931 --> 00:32:38,379
if things are gonna change,
man, you know,
572
00:32:38,413 --> 00:32:40,206
i'll stick around, right?right.
573
00:32:40,241 --> 00:32:42,724
well, that's good to hear,
and let's just go
574
00:32:42,758 --> 00:32:44,310
take care of it right now.
get everybody up there,
575
00:32:44,344 --> 00:32:45,551
and we'll just have
a little talk.
576
00:32:45,586 --> 00:32:46,758
okay.
works for me, buddy.
577
00:32:46,793 --> 00:32:48,172
yeah?
yeah.
578
00:32:54,068 --> 00:32:56,034
well, thanks
for coming up here, guys.
579
00:32:56,068 --> 00:32:57,724
i'll try to keep this short.
580
00:32:57,758 --> 00:32:58,827
it's pretty simple, really.
581
00:32:58,862 --> 00:33:02,551
i mean, this is
a frustrating season.
582
00:33:02,586 --> 00:33:04,034
i think
we can all admit that.
583
00:33:04,068 --> 00:33:08,758
and the problem with that is
that you can tend to check out,
584
00:33:08,793 --> 00:33:11,965
and that's gonna stop.
585
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,103
that's the only way we're gonna
get through this season.
586
00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:15,724
it's the only way
we're gonna remain friends,
587
00:33:15,758 --> 00:33:16,896
for sake.
588
00:33:16,931 --> 00:33:18,655
Carl's a good guy.
589
00:33:18,689 --> 00:33:22,137
i got a lot of respect for him
and what he's done.
590
00:33:22,172 --> 00:33:23,275
and it's not fair.
591
00:33:23,310 --> 00:33:25,620
we have to all just step up,
help each other,
592
00:33:25,655 --> 00:33:27,448
and do our parts.
593
00:33:27,482 --> 00:33:30,379
it hasn't been working
very well thus far.
594
00:33:30,413 --> 00:33:32,551
until something changes,
it's...
595
00:33:32,586 --> 00:33:34,241
Carl: yeah, the whole
"not my job" attitude --
596
00:33:34,275 --> 00:33:36,068
i'm
done with it, right?
597
00:33:36,103 --> 00:33:39,310
so, you know,
we work as a team, right?
598
00:33:39,344 --> 00:33:41,793
pretty simple.
599
00:33:41,827 --> 00:33:43,379
we all agree to that?
600
00:33:43,413 --> 00:33:45,103
-yeah.
-absolutely, man.
601
00:33:45,137 --> 00:33:46,310
yes, sir.
602
00:33:46,344 --> 00:33:48,206
we got a limited amount
of time left.
603
00:33:48,241 --> 00:33:49,379
let's finish strong.
604
00:33:49,413 --> 00:33:51,517
- yeah.
-absolutely.
605
00:33:53,724 --> 00:33:56,758
narrator:
after a week of being shut down,
606
00:33:56,793 --> 00:34:00,448
the ness crew rallies,
works together as a team,
607
00:34:00,482 --> 00:34:04,034
and installs the hopper
in just 2 hours.
608
00:34:06,172 --> 00:34:07,448
she all done?yeah.
609
00:34:07,482 --> 00:34:08,931
-she's done.
-what do you say?
610
00:34:08,965 --> 00:34:10,482
should we fire this thing up?
-run her, man.
611
00:34:10,517 --> 00:34:12,448
-might as well.
-see if she rolls.
612
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:23,620
let's go!
613
00:34:25,310 --> 00:34:29,413
the argument between
Rick and Carl kind of,
614
00:34:29,448 --> 00:34:31,172
i'm sure,
sparked some motivation,
615
00:34:31,206 --> 00:34:35,724
so we got to try and, you know,
push for this last homestretch.
616
00:34:35,758 --> 00:34:37,137
Carl: Rick's doing everything
he told me he'd do,
617
00:34:37,172 --> 00:34:38,517
and, man,
that makes me happy, right?
618
00:34:38,551 --> 00:34:40,551
like, so it wasn't in one ear,
out the other ear.
619
00:34:40,586 --> 00:34:42,137
he took it to heart,
and hopefully everybody
620
00:34:42,172 --> 00:34:44,827
is gonna
pull their weight now.
621
00:34:44,862 --> 00:34:46,482
Carl's back in action.
622
00:34:46,517 --> 00:34:48,482
you know, sometimes it takes
a quick brawl,
623
00:34:48,517 --> 00:34:52,862
get some words out, and i think
we're back to normal.
624
00:34:52,896 --> 00:34:55,379
oh, they did a great job,
so should be back
625
00:34:55,413 --> 00:34:57,517
to business as usual,
i hope.
626
00:34:57,551 --> 00:34:59,206
hopefully we've got
no more problems.
627
00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:14,551
it's a case of "be careful
where you park" when i'm around.
628
00:35:15,896 --> 00:35:17,448
narrator: at honker creek,
629
00:35:17,482 --> 00:35:21,103
Mike beets plays a prank
on the production crew.
630
00:35:26,344 --> 00:35:28,275
what the hell, man?
why are you still here?
631
00:35:33,275 --> 00:35:35,793
you're just gonna have to learn
how to move the hauler yourself.
632
00:35:50,827 --> 00:35:52,620
minnie: hi, guys.
633
00:35:52,655 --> 00:35:54,000
what's happening?
what's shaking?
634
00:35:54,034 --> 00:35:55,620
what's going down?
635
00:35:58,172 --> 00:36:02,000
narrator:
after struggling to run
a night shift at Mike's trommel,
636
00:36:02,034 --> 00:36:05,689
the beets family gathers
for the weekly gold weigh.
637
00:36:08,620 --> 00:36:10,310
oh, not super-bad.
638
00:36:10,344 --> 00:36:11,896
minnie:
that's not great, though.
639
00:36:11,931 --> 00:36:14,586
the problem is, Monica
ended up getting sick about...
640
00:36:14,620 --> 00:36:15,724
sometime in the night,
and...
641
00:36:15,758 --> 00:36:17,655
kind of pooched your week,
hey, Mike?
642
00:36:17,689 --> 00:36:19,827
yeah. i was hoping
to get a full week in,
643
00:36:19,862 --> 00:36:21,793
make up for all lost time,
but...
644
00:36:21,827 --> 00:36:24,620
also the gearbox.
we had to realign that
645
00:36:34,275 --> 00:36:36,965
maybe we should do
some weighing of the gold.
646
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,896
Mike: well, it won't take long.
let's put it that way.
647
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,620
narrator:
with Monica and Kevin shut down,
648
00:36:44,655 --> 00:36:48,551
Mike's trommel is
the only source of family gold.
649
00:36:48,586 --> 00:36:53,379
the patchy mega-cut
has averaged 127 ounces.
650
00:36:56,724 --> 00:37:01,586
10, 20, 5...
651
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:05,620
30, 35, 40...
652
00:37:05,655 --> 00:37:09,068
42.58.
653
00:37:09,103 --> 00:37:14,862
their total now stands
at just 1,894 ounces.
654
00:37:14,896 --> 00:37:19,103
this time last year, they had
almost twice as much gold.
655
00:37:22,103 --> 00:37:23,827
we don't have that
much time left, either.
656
00:37:23,862 --> 00:37:26,172
we only have about 4
or 5 weeks left, right?
657
00:37:26,206 --> 00:37:29,586
if i get a chance to run
a full week, 24 hours a day,
658
00:37:29,620 --> 00:37:32,000
i'll make up for a lot
of lost time, i think.
659
00:37:32,034 --> 00:37:35,034
anyways,
we'll see you guys later.
660
00:37:47,448 --> 00:37:48,689
hey, guys.
661
00:37:48,724 --> 00:37:49,689
-hey-o.
-how you doing, buddy?
662
00:37:49,724 --> 00:37:50,931
yeah, we're cooking her up.
663
00:37:50,965 --> 00:37:52,758
ooh-hoo-hoo!ooh!
664
00:37:52,793 --> 00:37:53,793
look at that!
665
00:37:53,827 --> 00:37:55,103
that was all in one load
of your truck.
666
00:37:55,137 --> 00:37:56,655
can i get a burger,
please?
667
00:37:58,137 --> 00:37:59,379
would you like fries
with that?
668
00:37:59,413 --> 00:38:00,620
yeah.
669
00:38:00,655 --> 00:38:01,620
and some ketchup.
670
00:38:03,793 --> 00:38:06,862
you would feel bad if you,
like, cut my nose open.
671
00:38:06,896 --> 00:38:09,448
you know "schnabel" means
"beak" in German, right?
672
00:38:09,482 --> 00:38:10,689
i didn't know that.
673
00:38:10,724 --> 00:38:11,862
did you know that "doumitt"
in arabic means
674
00:38:11,896 --> 00:38:13,310
"hung like a racehorse"?
675
00:38:17,689 --> 00:38:19,379
narrator:
for the first time,
676
00:38:19,413 --> 00:38:21,310
Parker has had
his two wash plants,
677
00:38:21,344 --> 00:38:23,344
sluicifer and big red,
678
00:38:23,379 --> 00:38:26,896
running crater cut pay
side by side.
679
00:38:26,931 --> 00:38:28,517
Mitch: it looked like
quite a bit from sluicifer.
680
00:38:28,551 --> 00:38:30,482
did big red have
a good week, too?
681
00:38:30,517 --> 00:38:33,379
we got quite a bit out
of sluicifer.
682
00:38:33,413 --> 00:38:36,241
yeah, big red was a little
bit weak this week.
683
00:38:36,275 --> 00:38:38,482
well, i mean, big red did have
a little bit of downtime.
684
00:38:38,517 --> 00:38:40,103
trying to keep up
with both those plants,
685
00:38:40,137 --> 00:38:42,379
and just everything
that's going on, it's unreal.
686
00:38:42,413 --> 00:38:44,620
so, you want to see
how big red did?
687
00:38:44,655 --> 00:38:47,103
we got to do it
sooner or later.
688
00:38:47,137 --> 00:38:49,241
50, 80...
689
00:38:49,275 --> 00:38:52,931
100, 120.
690
00:38:52,965 --> 00:38:55,275
d, where are you hiding
the other jar, man?
691
00:38:55,310 --> 00:38:56,275
i wish.
692
00:38:56,310 --> 00:38:58,068
128.7?
693
00:38:58,103 --> 00:39:00,310
-aw.
-ooh.
694
00:39:00,344 --> 00:39:03,620
narrator: worth $180,000.
695
00:39:03,655 --> 00:39:05,344
but that ain't even
an ounce an hour.
696
00:39:05,379 --> 00:39:07,586
we squeezed every flake
we could out of it.
697
00:39:07,620 --> 00:39:09,172
that's what we got.
698
00:39:09,206 --> 00:39:11,517
so that's some of the worst
ground we've mined all season.
699
00:39:11,551 --> 00:39:13,344
or maybe all the good stuff
went to sluicifer.
700
00:39:13,379 --> 00:39:15,068
how did it do?
701
00:39:15,103 --> 00:39:17,551
narrator:
since big red was down a shift,
702
00:39:17,586 --> 00:39:21,344
the team is counting on
sluicifer to pick up the slack.
703
00:39:24,620 --> 00:39:26,896
well, actually,
sluicifer did quite well.
704
00:39:26,931 --> 00:39:28,206
man: oh, yeah.
705
00:39:28,241 --> 00:39:30,206
i don't know if i can count
that high.
706
00:39:30,241 --> 00:39:31,827
we all think that.
707
00:39:33,965 --> 00:39:35,931
man:
let's see what you got.
708
00:39:35,965 --> 00:39:38,068
we're at 50 already.
709
00:39:38,103 --> 00:39:40,827
over 100.
710
00:39:40,862 --> 00:39:42,310
130, 140...
711
00:39:42,344 --> 00:39:46,448
50, 60, 70, 89.
712
00:39:46,482 --> 00:39:48,344
240.8, guys.
713
00:39:48,379 --> 00:39:51,793
narrator: worth $340,000.
714
00:39:51,827 --> 00:39:53,689
that's more like it, huh?yeah.
715
00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:55,448
the good part
and the cool part
716
00:39:55,482 --> 00:39:57,862
is, we broke 5,000 ounces
for the season.
717
00:39:57,896 --> 00:39:58,931
-ooh!
-hey!
718
00:39:58,965 --> 00:40:00,724
-nice!
-whoo!
719
00:40:00,758 --> 00:40:03,275
narrator: even with the
disappointing gold weigh
720
00:40:03,310 --> 00:40:04,586
from the crater cut...
721
00:40:04,620 --> 00:40:06,034
Fred, you're our
good-luck charm.
722
00:40:06,068 --> 00:40:11,206
...Parker has hit 5,176 ounces
this season,
723
00:40:11,241 --> 00:40:14,344
worth over $7 million.
724
00:40:14,379 --> 00:40:15,620
that's sweet.
Brennan: yeah.
725
00:40:15,655 --> 00:40:17,068
and we still got a lot
to go.
726
00:40:17,103 --> 00:40:19,103
get back on track
of last year, maybe.
727
00:40:19,137 --> 00:40:20,758
the best part of doing
these gold weighs
728
00:40:20,793 --> 00:40:23,000
is, Tony isn't, like,
hovering around.
729
00:40:23,034 --> 00:40:24,931
like, you wouldn't even be done
with the cleanups,
730
00:40:24,965 --> 00:40:26,758
and he'd be pulling in here,
wanting his take.
731
00:40:26,793 --> 00:40:29,241
-it was still warm in the pan.
-yeah.
732
00:40:30,310 --> 00:40:31,965
Tony.
733
00:40:35,344 --> 00:40:37,379
i just pray you guys
can keep it up.
734
00:40:37,413 --> 00:40:38,689
we will.
if anybody can,
735
00:40:38,724 --> 00:40:40,275
i know it's you guys,
though.
736
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:43,000
just keep running,
and keep trucks rolling, and...
737
00:40:43,034 --> 00:40:44,275
yep.
738
00:40:44,310 --> 00:40:45,758
don't keep trucks
rolling.
739
00:40:48,034 --> 00:40:50,068
Mitch: poor choice of words
there, Parker.
740
00:40:50,103 --> 00:40:51,413
all right.
thanks, guys.
741
00:40:51,448 --> 00:40:52,965
okay, thanks.have a good night.
742
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,206
you too.see you guys at dinner.
743
00:40:54,241 --> 00:40:55,310
you betcha.
744
00:40:57,448 --> 00:40:59,620
narrator:
on the next "gold rush"...
745
00:40:59,655 --> 00:41:02,000
we spent a Mountain of money
stripping this ground
746
00:41:02,034 --> 00:41:04,551
just to watch gold go
out the box.
747
00:41:04,586 --> 00:41:09,275
narrator:
...parker loses gold in the
battle to mine all his ground.
748
00:41:09,310 --> 00:41:10,827
that's bad news.
749
00:41:12,034 --> 00:41:14,000
Brennan, your track's,
like, off the bank.
750
00:41:14,034 --> 00:41:15,137
holy
751
00:41:15,172 --> 00:41:16,517
you've got to be kidding me!
752
00:41:16,551 --> 00:41:21,310
narrator: Rick's running out of
time to save his season.
753
00:41:21,344 --> 00:41:23,275
does that look like smoke
over there?
754
00:41:23,310 --> 00:41:24,689
shut it off!
755
00:41:24,724 --> 00:41:28,448
and Tony turns to daughter
Monica on his quest for gold.
756
00:41:28,482 --> 00:41:30,724
there you go.
that looks good, Monica!57544
