‐ Narrator: Tonight
on the season finale...

‐ John: This is the moment
we've been waiting for.

...after an intense
five‐month expedition

on the mountain...

‐ Man, that rain
is not letting up.

‐ ...John and the team
are betting everything...

‐ This has got to be the spot.

‐ ...on one site

lying 300 feet
beneath the waterfall.

‐ We think we've got
some type of void space

300 feet down.

‐ It's a long way down.

‐ It could contain
what they believe

is a treasure chamber
filled with gold

buried during World War II

by Japanese general
Tomoyuki Yamashita.

Despite every obstacle

they've faced
on the mountain...

‐ I can't even get
another inch out of this thing.

...they believe
the moment is near...

‐ I've never seen
anything like this.

‐ ...when they can finally
uncover...

‐ What is that?

‐ ...the lost gold
of World War II.

The road to finding
Yamashita's treasure

has been a whirlwind
for John and his team.

After a scan of the mountain
revealed metal deposits

300 feet
below the waterfall...

‐ We have NMR proving

that there's a void space
on that waterfall.

I think this is
the motherlode, guys.

‐ ...John tried
every possible way in...

‐ I honestly don't think
the tunnel goes anywhere else.

I can't see it.

‐ ...until he was left

with one final option.

‐ I think your best bet
is to come in from the side,

drilling 930 feet,

and then there's
bore hole cameras

that will make it 930 feet

to see exactly
what we've hit.

‐ Now, after weeks
of drilling,

the team is finally
just 200 feet

from hitting their target.

‐ All right, man...

‐ In just a few days,

they'll finally
be able to see

into what they believe
is a massive treasure vault.

But the closer they get...

the more careful
they need to be.

‐ That isn't good.

We were in perfectly
solid rock before,

and now there's a bunch
of sand and dirt

in the end of this.

‐ The sand could be a sign
of a Japanese booby trap.

‐ The Japanese were infamous
for putting sand traps in.

Hundreds of tons of sand,
enough to kill a man.

‐ Just as worrying,

it can also knock
their drill off course.

‐ 930 feet is
a really long way to go,

so all we can really do
is see if we're precise,

check and double‐check it.

Then it's really up to Andrew
and the drill gods

to make sure that this thing
finesses straight on through.

We want to go
as straight as an arrow

and go right into this void.

John's got this gut feeling
that we're still on track,

but there's a margin
of error here.

I'm getting pretty nervous.

‐ Rob frequently checks
core samples

to make sure
they haven't hit material

that could send them
in the wrong direction.

‐ So as you can see, um,

it's progressively
getting worse.

‐ It's like clay
and sandy gravel.

We're gonna move
a little further,

get another tray out,

and if it looks
anything like this,

then I think it's imperative
that we do a survey

and make sure
that this kind of crap here

hasn't steered us
way off course.

Here we go.

It's the moment of truth.

‐ That is not very good at all.

There's a fair chance
that we're starting to deviate,

so we'll have to do a survey

and check where we're at
at this stage.

‐ If they can't reach
the site,

it could be game over.

‐ I think the worst
possible scenario

is to miss the void
and not know

and have to start all over
in some other way.

I don't know if we have
the resources left

to do this again.

‐ Running out of leads
to explore on the mountain,

Rick and Bingo search

for new locations
to investigate.

Bingo focuses
on the 25 treasure maps

given to them
by Chuck McDougald.

‐ This contains the maps
that were given to me

in the Philippines.

‐ I've never seen
anything like this.

‐ According to Chuck,

these maps once belonged

to Philippine President
Ferdinand Marcos

and are evidence of possible
Yamashita treasure sites

throughout the Philippines.

The team was warned
by an anonymous source

that their hunt
could be deadly.

[ voice distorted ]

‐ These vast amount of money

attract people who are
willing to torture.

If I were you, I would be
very, very careful.

[ helicopter overhead ]

‐ The team's
already experienced

unwelcome surveillance...

‐ Rick, you seeing
that helicopter?

We just got buzzed.

‐ ...and taken precautions.

‐ John:
We've got security posted

on every high point
in this place,

and I think we're good to go.

‐ Worried their days
on the mountain

could be numbered,

Bingo intensifies his search.

‐ What I'm looking for
right now

is any kind of symbols,
any kind of indicators

that we want to focus on
specifically,

like this one clearly looks
like a building.

I mean,
this one says "USA" on it.

I have no idea
what that could even mean.

This is the only map
with a date on it‐‐

October 31, 1940.

I mean, that's prior
to the war.

‐ The maps are coded
and hard to decipher,

an obstacle

Chuck's treasure hunting
partner Bob Curtis

knew all too well.

‐ If I were to give you
one of these maps,

it would be meaningless
to you.

Unless you know
the fulcrum on the map,

just forget it. You'd never‐‐

You'd never be able
to find it.

‐ Narrator: Earlier,

a secret informant
gave Rick tapes

recorded by Curtis,

so Bingo asks Rick
to review them again,

searching for any clues

to new treasure sites
they can investigate.

‐ I'm still reviewing
over a hundred hours of tapes

that previously belonged
to Bob Curtis.

He documented
treasure digging sites

all over the Philippines.

That guy was at it
for 30 years.

Clearly, he knew something
none of the rest of us know.

‐ According
to their informant,

Marcos tasked Curtis
with decoding the treasure maps,

so these tapes could contain
vital leads.

‐ Watching these videotapes,
it feels like we're so close.

It's here.

Just got to get this thing
pinned down.

‐ The next morning,

work at the waterfall
continues.

The drill is
in solid rock again,

and the team could be
just days away

from reaching the void.

‐ So this is exactly
what we want, isn't it?

‐ All of it does.
I don't see any loose stuff

in between any layer.

I'm anxious, I'm exhausted,
and I'm nervous as hell

waiting to get
closer and closer.

‐ Then...

John gets
an unwelcome surprise.

[ beep ]

‐ Out of nowhere I get a call

from security
at the front gate

to say that a government entity
has showed up here,

flashed their badge,

and wanted access
to the property,

which they gave them.

I don't want to push my luck
with them.

‐ This is the second time

inspectors have dropped in
on the team unannounced.

‐ Yeah. Falls is up
and over the top.

‐ That's the plan.

‐ The increased frequency
of this attention

as they near
the possible treasure chamber

has everyone unsettled.

‐ We've been warned
by every single person

that we've talked to
about treasure hunting

that has any experience.

‐ If and when they think
you've found the treasure,

they might either
steal it from you

or just kill you
right then and there.

‐ Rick:
I'm beginning to think

it's not just a bunch
of empty warnings.

It's got me unnerved
at this point.

‐ At the waterfall site,

surveillance
of the team's activities

is intensified,

and everyone's spooked.

‐ As we get closer
and closer to this treasure,

more and more strange things
are happening.

‐ In response,

John increases security
at their basecamp.

‐ The last thing we need
is more people showing up

uninvited to this party.

‐ Back in the U. S.,

Bingo ramps up his search

for new Yamashita
treasure sites.

‐ We think we have
a map of our mountain,

but there's, again,
20‐some‐odd maps here.

There could be treasure
all over the Philippines.

I mean, why settle
for one treasure

when we have so many
more maps here

that there could be a wealth
of information on here

and we just need help
deciphering it?

‐ He's focused his attention
on two maps...

and calls Chuck McDougald
for more information.

‐ Hey, Chuck.
How you doing today, sir?

‐ Good afternoon.
Just fine, thank you.

‐ Hey, look, I was looking
over a lot of these maps,

and we're trying to make
heads or tails of any of these.

This map here.

‐ That is...

‐ The American base
in the Philippines?

‐ Yes.

‐ Wow. I mean, that's‐‐

that's amazing to think

that they would
even bury treasure

on an American base.

‐ At the time they buried it,

the Japanese occupied it.

‐ Narrator: Originally
built in the Philippines

by U. S. forces in 1903,

Clark Air Base fell
to the Japanese

during their invasion
in World War II.

[ cheering ]

It became a major center
for Imperial air operations,

including a launching point
for kamikaze pilots.

When the Allies attempted
to retake the base in 1945,

they found that Japanese
soldiers had dug

a network of tunnels
beneath the base

to stage their last stand.

Many believe

the Japanese fiercely
defended the base

not only for strategic
military significance

but because they were also
defending Yamashita's treasure

buried there.

‐ The dotted line
usually indicates a tunnel.

‐ The one intersecting between
these two trees here, then?

‐ That's right.

The square indicates
a treasure,

and whatever is on the inside
of the square

will indicate
what the treasure is.

I think, because
of this symbol above it...

...that's gold.
‐ Wow.

‐ Narrator:
Clark Air Force Base

was returned by the U. S.
to Philippine control in 1991.

It operates today
under the jurisdiction

of the Philippine Air Force,

excluding it

as a treasure hunting site
for the team.

‐ One other question I had.

And it was‐‐Okay.
Map number 14. Here we are.

Right here on top.

‐ That's the Japanese word
for Intramuros,

the walled city
that you go through

to get to Fort Santiago.

‐ Narrator:
Built by Spanish colonials

in the late 1500s,

Intramuros was made

to protect inhabitants
from attack.

When Japan invaded
the Philippines

on December 8th, 1941,

just 10 hours after their
attack on Pearl Harbor,

they immediately seized
Intramuros.

Japanese forces
would later make

one of their last stands

during the Battle of Manila
here,

a last‐ditch effort
to keep the city of Manila

and possibly to protect
treasure buried below.

‐ This might mean a road,
crossroad..

Here indicates a tunnel
right here.

I don't know what‐‐
what "October 31, 1940" means,

but I‐‐I believe,
if we got in that area,

and we're close,

we could find out
what that means.

‐ You know,
one theory I heard

is that,
even prior to the war,

you know, Japan had spies
in country.

Looking at this date‐‐
October 31, 1940‐‐

do you think
that this could indicate

when a spy was
in the Philippines,

when he identified the site
to bury treasure in?

‐ Yes.

‐ Narrator: Prior
to their invasion in 1941,

Japan engaged in extensive
intelligence gathering

in the Philippines,

using both
on‐the‐ground agents

and air surveillance

to gain knowledge
of military fortifications

and the terrain

for the upcoming invasion
and occupation.

Many believe
this information was also used

to identify ideal
treasure burial sites.

‐ Chuck, I mean,
just looking at these maps,

the wealth of information
here‐‐on here‐‐

there's nothing like this
out there

that I've seen
in any of my research

until, you know, meeting you

and seeing these maps
firsthand.

You know, cities, forts,
actual locations.

You know, Chuck,
you've given us

a lot to think about.
‐ Yeah.

‐ I think
what I'd really love to do

is get some of the guys
and go to Intramuros.

‐ Just be very aware
all the time

of potential booby traps.

And give my best regards
to your guys.

‐ Appreciate it, Chuck.
Thank you, sir.

I'll talk to you soon.
‐ Bye‐bye.

‐ Whoo. I mean, incredible,

the fact that he was able
to identify Intramuros.

The amount of possibilities
it opens up for us,

is huge,

I mean, when you're dealing

with anything of this scale.

We've been warned
we should be very careful

and our very lives
could be at risk.

‐ Narrator:
Back on the mountain,

unwanted attention
from local officials

makes the team
rev up their efforts.

They're determined
to find treasure

before someone else
beats them to the punch.

‐ I do believe
that Yamashita's treasure

is in that cavity
underneath the waterfall

and we just need to figure out
how to get it out.

‐ To find leads,

John and Rob return
to a second, smaller waterfall

they discovered earlier.

Based on the presence
of symbols,

like a gorilla face

and box markers,

they believe this site
might contain

an underwater tunnel

connecting to the void space
they're trying to reach.

‐ Chuck:
So if you look at the map,

to me, that upside‐down U

could be a tunnel entrance
in the water.

‐ Considering that this is
about the same elevation

as the chamber
underneath the waterfall,

I think it's a long shot,
but we should check it out.

‐ Narrator: They searched
the water with a drone

to look for the entrance.

‐ Just kind of zigzag
back and forth

sort of along that base.

Holy crap.
‐ Oh, look at that.

‐ To the right
of the waterfall,

there's a little pocket
back in there,

and that pocket
looks like craggly rocks

that just look
like they've been blown open

or something was blown up

to protect it,
hide it, or cover it up.

And it could be signifying

that that was an entrance
into the mountain

and they blew it closed.

‐ According to legend,

after treasure was
buried in tunnels,

General Yamashita ordered
the entrances destroyed...

safely concealing
the contents inside.

This fractured rock
may be the remnants

of such an explosion.

‐ All right,
look at that rock right there.

See all the choppy edges
and it looks broken up?

‐ All of them do.

‐ But the search yields
nothing useful.

‐ I'm not seeing anything else.

I'm not seeing any openings.

There's nothing down there.

‐ We're not gonna be able
to get in this way.

‐ Meanwhile,

Rick continues combing

through
the Robert Curtis tapes.

His goal‐‐find new locations

to search
for Yamashita's treasure.

After hours of listening...

...he finds the lead
he's been searching for.

‐ Curtis is identifying

several of the treasure sites.

He's also identifying

a lot of the hidden landmarks
that are on those sites.

‐ The description
of a walled city

and the October 31 date

line up with the map
Bingo found of Intramuros.

But to get answers,

the team will have to
investigate these sites

in person.

‐ Rick:
This could be what puts us

right on top of the gold.

‐ Bingo and Rick's research
into additional treasure sites

has uncovered leads
to two possible locations.

While Rob continues to monitor
the horizontal drill,

John, Levi, and Geo
travel to investigate.

They hope to find
new places to search

and proof that the markings
on the map are accurate.

‐ Between Chuck's maps
and the Curtis tapes,

we have a lot of sites
that we can go look at.

If we find one site
that's legitimate,

it's gonna change
the whole ballgame.

‐ Using the Bob Curtis audio
as a guide,

John explores
the 17th century landmark

San Augustin Church
in Manila.

‐ This site is known
as the six finger site.

One particular painting,

if you count the fingers
on the hand,

you'll note that there is
indeed six fingers.

‐ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

‐ Narrator:
According to Curtis,

the painting is a marker

pointing to a walled‐in
portion of the church

where the treasure
was buried.

‐ There is an opening
in the wall

that was all completely
disguised during the war.

The weather in Manila has
peeled off all of the plaster

and now exposed
the sealed chamber.

‐ It doesn't get
any more walled in than that.

Between McDougald's maps
and the Curtis tapes,

everything seems
to be checking out.

‐ Narrator: Meanwhile,

inside the walled city
of Intramuros,

Levi and Geo use Chuck's map
and the audiotapes

to head to an ancient
cornerstone in the complex

known
as Baluarte de San Diego.

‐ Wow. This place is huge.

‐ Curtis believes
somewhere in these ruins

lies an inscription

which could point
to a treasure deposit

buried at the site.

‐ There is a cavern

directly behind
a series of concrete steps

that lead up to nowhere.

‐ There's a bunch of stairs
leading to nowhere.

Start looking for the date.

‐ And cut into this step,
the date 10‐31‐1940.

That is a central point
where the map lines up.

‐ See that?
Look at that, Geo.

10‐31‐40.

‐ You found it.

Wow.

‐ Narrator:
Using the inscription

as a starting point,

they follow the map
to a possible treasure site.

‐ I think this is the spot.

‐ You sure?
‐ I'm positive.

Look at all that rubble.

There's no way we could possibly
ever do anything here, man.

There's people everywhere.

‐ I know, this is
a national monument here.

‐ Yeah. I think we just need
to get out of here.

This isn't worth our time,
man.

We can't do anything with it.
‐ All right.

‐ After scouting
both locations,

they share their findings.

‐ Any luck?

‐ Well, you know,
we looked at a lot of maps,

a lot of sites.

I listened
to the Bob Curtis tape

about St. Augustin Church.

You know, looked like we
were in the right spot

and someone had walled up
the section

where we got to go down.

We're not gonna get in there.

What are we gonna do,
break into a church?

I mean,
that ain't gonna happen.

‐ We were seeing
the same thing

in all the sites we went to.

We found
a legitimate location

that, I mean, it matched up

with the stuff
that Bob Curtis was saying.

We were able
to line everything up.

The issue we had here was

it's right in the middle
of a national park.

‐ Well, that tells me
that we've got our hands

on some really good maps here.

Everything's lining up.

‐ And everything
Bob talked about in the tapes

is, like, right on the money.

Every sign or clue
that he gave us in those tapes

all lined up to what we saw,

but access is nonexistent.

All the places
we looked at so far

looked pretty good,

but they're inaccessible

because of the places
they're at.

We need to find
another location

that gives us access.

If we can do that,
it may lead us to treasure.

‐ Heartened by their trip,

the team returns
to good news.

After weeks of hard work,

the drill is
just a few feet away

from the target depth
of 930 feet,

where they hope to intersect
a treasure chamber.

‐ According to the survey data,
we are almost there,

and this should
be the final push

to punch through.

I can't wait to see
what's on the other side.

‐ After everything
we've been through,

it is almost impossible
to believe

that we are actually
at this point.

‐ This is it, Rob.

923.

925.

929.

930.

‐ The drill is now past
the target depth of 930 feet,

with no signs
of hitting the chamber.

‐ That's it?
We're at the end of the rod?

‐ We still got water
coming out of there.

‐ Don't worry about it.

We're close.
We're gonna hit it.

‐ All right.

Let's get another rod
on there, then.

‐ The team extends the drill
another 10 feet.

They're waiting for the water
lubricating the drill

to stop flowing,

a sign
they've entered the void.

‐ It's not a big deal.
Not stressing over it just yet.

Rob, on the other hand,

he's just getting
a little antsy.

‐ Anthony,
are you feeling anything?

‐ It's the same?

Just keep watching
for that water to stop!

‐ John's convinced
that we're still on track,

but I'm honestly
extremely concerned.

There's a lot riding on this
drill hitting our target,

a lot riding on it.

All I can think about
right now is‐‐

is what it's gonna feel like

to even show my face
to the team

and have to tell them

that all this was
a major failure

and that our one opportunity
to see this treasure

isn't happening here.

All right,
I guess we keep going.

‐ The team spends
the next four hours

drilling deeper
into the mountain.

But there's still no sign
of intersecting the void.

‐ Something is wrong.

We can't just keep adding rods
and adding

till we poke out
the other side of the mountain.

There's got to be something
wrong with our coordinates.

We would have hit it.

‐ As tension mounts
at the waterfall...

‐ Now we're
about 30 feet further

than we should have been.

The original estimate
of the distance

has to be off.

If it was, there's still
a chance we can hit it.

‐ Down at basecamp,

the search for a new
treasure site

yields exciting news.

‐ Hey, Bingo. How are you?

‐ Hey, Rick. I'm good.
I got some news for you.

So I was taking a look
at a bunch of these maps,

and I think I've found
one in particular

that's really interesting.

Now, when Chuck gave us
the maps,

the majority
of the ones he had

were photocopies,

and he had two originals,

this being one of them.

Are these
the original maps here?

‐ Those two are
the original maps.

‐ I've never seen
anything like this.

‐ These maps were confiscated

from Philippine President
Ferdinand Marcos's

personal office

when he was ousted from power
in 1986.

It's possible this could be
the only existing map

of this location

and that any treasure here
remains unrecovered.

‐ That's amazing, man.

‐ Take a look at this map here.

It's shaped pretty much
like some sort of island.

‐ Now, looking at this map,
it looks like an island.

‐ So as you know,

the Philippines is made up

of over 7,000 islands.

I've been going through these
one by one.

I was looking
for any indication at all

that could lead
to where in the Philippines

this corresponds to,

trying to find
as close a match as possible.

And this map here?

I believe it looks
a lot like Siargao Island.

‐ Phenomenal find.

‐ If you look at the features
of the island here,

it has the same
teardrop shape,

and then on the eastern side
there's this inlet here

which matches up
to current maps today.

‐ Look at that.

‐ So look, this is
a pretty remote island

far away
from any major cities,

700 miles from metro Manila,

so, I mean, if the Japanese
were using this island

strategically,
this is probably one

of the most perfect places
to hide anything

because it is so remote.

‐ Narrator:
Its geographic location

may be another reason
Yamashita chose this island.

Siargao Island is one
of the easternmost points

in the Philippines,

a straight shot to Tokyo

that made the surreptitious
transportation of treasure

much easier.

‐ Bingo:
You know, Siargao Island,

there's almost no mention
of it in history books.

Why is that?
I mean, could it be

that maybe they were
hiding something there?

‐ Bingo,
this is incredible news.

It could change everything
for us.

There's a really good chance
that treasure's still there.

‐ Back at the waterfall,

everyone's on edge.

The horizontal drill
has passed

the projected treasure chamber
target depth.

‐ Something is wrong.

We can't just keep adding rods
and adding

till we poke out
the other side of the mountain.

‐ At this point you're not
gonna just back out

and start over again.

‐ One theory is
that the drill is on target

but the chamber has a dome

and the angled ceiling is
causing the penetration point

to be farther than expected.

‐ One more isn't gonna hurt.

‐ I hope you're right.

‐ I hope so, too.

‐ The team adds one more rod
to the drill rig.

If they don't hit
the void space soon,

it could mean
a devastating end

to their long road
on the mountain.

‐ I'm really starting
to second guess

whether our survey equipment
is right,

whether Andrew is on spot,

whether Max and Colin gave me
the right measurements.

There's a lot of stuff
running through my mind.

‐ We've put another rod on,

and I'm just watching
the drill go.

At this point, I'm about
ready to call it quits.

We're burning time,
we're burning money,

and we're about 40 feet further
than we should have been.

Actually hitting it would be
a miracle at this point.

[ drill shudders loudly ]

‐ The absence of water means

they've finally reached
a void space.

The team is eager to see
what's hidden inside.

‐ This could be it.

Let's get the camera.

Let's get it in there ASAP.

Andrew steered that drill
right on track,

and we punched through now,

and I want to see
what's in there.

‐ In the Philippine mountains,

at the waterfall...

...hopeful they've reached
the treasure vault

they've fought so hard
to find,

the team races to look inside.

‐ John: Let's get the camera.

Let's get it in there ASAP.

I mean, this could be it.

This treasure could be
just around the corner.

We got to shove that camera
down there almost 1,000 feet,

and today I'm wondering

whether I made
the right choice or not.

I mean, I'm really
in anticipation

of what I might see in there.

We got a long way to shove.

250.

510.

To go after
a Yamashita treasure

and actually be successful‐‐

nobody said it was
going to be easy,

and it never is.

You know, this is seriously
one of the last

great mysteries of the world
to be solved.

Seeing the treasure, you know,
I'm gonna be part of history.

775.

900.

70 feet to go.

There's the end coming.

Pitch black.

‐ Rob: This room is really big.

‐ How much you got
in there now?

‐ 13, 14 feet.

‐ I still see nothing.

‐ Hold on, hold on.
There's something right there.

‐ What is that?

‐ It's the edge of something.

‐ Could be the edge of a box.

We're, like, looking down
on the edge of it.

What I'm seeing
in the camera right now

is unmistakably
manmade objects.

The camera's picking up
a smooth, flat surface

with squared edges.

You know, that's just not,
uh, natural.

What's next to it?
‐ Rob: Hold on. Let me see.

‐ It looks like another one
laying up against it

on the top side.

‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah,

but it definitely looks
like boxes.

Yeah. Two boxes.

You gotta get up here,
you gotta see this.

‐ What do you got?

‐ The rest of the team
races over

to see for themselves.

‐ Come on in there, George.

‐ Geo: Is that what
I think it is?

‐ I can't believe
you guys hit it, man.

‐ Rick, Steve, get in here.
You guys got to see this.

‐ Oh, my gosh.

‐ Geo: You seeing that?

‐ Dude, that's incredible.

I think we've hit
the treasure vault.

I think we're there.

You know, I've been waiting
longer than anybody

to see something like this.

You did it, man.
You got in there.

‐ We got in there.
‐ Unbelievable.

‐ Maybe what we're looking at
is just empty boxes.

I don't know.

But I do know,

based on all the information
that we had

in drilling to this location,

that we are underneath
that waterfall

300 feet down
into this void space.

We made it there,

and now we got to figure out

how do we get in there.

‐ The wooden boxes
they're seeing

resemble
the ammunition crates

filled with war loot

American GIs recovered
following World War II.

This huge discovery
lines up with the evidence

they've gathered
along the way‐‐

an NMR scan that detected
underground metal deposits...

a seismic scan
that located a void space

300 feet below the waterfall,

and a map indicating

possible treasure
on their mountain.

‐ That's an indicator
that that could be treasure.

‐ Narrator:
All seems to confirm

they found the boxes

their local eyewitness
Grandpa claimed to have seen

carried up the mountain
over 75 years ago.

It's the breakthrough
John's dreamed of.

‐ This day has certainly been

one of the biggest moments
of my life.

All the hard work
that we've put into it.

Everybody on the team has put
their 150% into this job,

and now
the fruition is right here.

‐ But their celebration
is short‐lived.

[ helicopter approaching ]

‐ You guys hear that?

That sounds like a big
helicopter, don't it?

There it is.

Coming up through
the trees right now.

‐ Levi: Man, they're close.

‐ Steve:
Somebody knows we're here.

‐ Rob: They must.

There's two of them.

‐ My gosh, they are looking
right down here at us.

‐ That ain't good.

‐ Just spooks the crap
out of me.

Um, I don't know
who these people are.

I don't know
what they're up to.

But they know what we're up to,

and that really bothers me.

‐ You did it, man.
You got in there.

‐ We got in there.
‐ Unbelievable.

‐ Blood, sweat, and tears,
and a lot of stress.

‐ At the waterfall site,

the team is elated.

‐ I can't believe
you guys hit it, man.

‐ After five grueling months,

they have found solid evidence
of possible treasure.

[ helicopter approaching ]

But their euphoria
turns quickly to concern

when they realize they are
back under surveillance.

‐ That ain't good.

‐ I don't know what we found
in the void space,

but we definitely have
a lot of unwanted attention.

‐ The team feels new urgency

to find a way
into the mountain

to retrieve
the mysterious boxes.

‐ Hell,
we need to get this done

fast and efficiently.

You guys have any ideas?

‐ Tunnel or shaft?
‐ I say tunnel.

‐ You guys agree?
‐ Absolutely, man.

‐ Let's go for it.

‐ Do it.
‐ Let's do it.

‐ Back at basecamp,

the team discusses
their options.

‐ At this point,
the best thing we can do

is tunnel
right into the waterfall.

‐ It's gonna take
some heavy explosive

to do that if we want
to get in there quickly.

‐ Using the bore hole
as a guide...

‐ Straighten it up
a little bit.

‐ The plan is to dig a tunnel

930 feet to the void space,

a herculean effort

that will require
more machinery,

more manpower,

and more time.

‐ This is gonna be
a lot bigger job,

and we have to get
all new equipment in here.

‐ The preparation
for recovery right now‐‐

Levi, Geo, and myself‐‐

we're working on the way
into the mountain

and everything
it's gonna take to do that.

‐ The rock's a lot different.

We're gonna have to get
bigger compressors.

We're gonna be running
two jacklegs at a time.

We're gonna need
more ventilation.

‐ The list just goes
on and on.

We need steel. We need pipe.
We need explosives.

‐ Rick:
The logistics is on Rob.

He's ordering everything.

‐ How soon do you think
I can get that?

‐ We've been looking
for months

trying to find
a traditional way in,

but now we're gonna be
able to go for it.

‐ Since it will take time

to assemble
the equipment needed

to tunnel into the void,

John decides to explore
alternative sites.

‐ I think it's important

that we work
on multiple locations

so we have the best chance
for success

from any one of the locations.

There are a lot of treasures
still left here.

‐ Based on the original
treasure map

uncovered by Bingo,

he believes
the best new option

is Siargao Island.

‐ So look, this is
a pretty remote island

far away
from any major cities.

I think, if the Japanese were
using this strategically,

this is probably one
of the most perfect places

to hide anything
because it is so remote.

‐ Narrator:
After traveling to Siargao,

the team follows the map...

‐ I think this is
a network of tunnels.

‐ ...to what seemed
the most promising site

and make
a thrilling discovery.

‐ John:
Looks like a bird marker.

‐ We've got those circles
on this map

that look just like
that little circle right there.

‐ If they can find anything,

this new location could mean
a fresh chance

to find Yamashita's treasure.

‐ John: We have the best team,

the best technology.

After two years of looking
for this treasure...

‐ What's that?
‐ Hang on. Let me get closer.

‐ ...I'm more certain
than ever

that we have the best chance
of getting to it.

‐ Rick: What is that?

‐ John:
That's the symbol for gold!

That means that gold is gonna
be anywhere in there.

One way or the other,
I will recover that treasure,

come hell or high water.

‐ Levi: Yeah, man, let's do it.
‐ Geo: Yeah.
