Wes: Carlos!
Come see some gold, man.

Carlos: What do we got
going on here?

Narrator:
Four weeks into a season cut
short by a global lockdown,

Dustin and his crew
are already on the gold.

Dustin:
We're still just cleaning out
the hole that we dug last year.

And there is gold in it.

James: This is from
our first three dives.

1.325 ounces.
Holy [bleep].

That's just a little bit over an
ounce and a quarter in nuggets.

-In nuggets.
-It's pretty amazing.

Almost an ounce and a half

With just the stuff
we picked off the top.

This is like five, six hours
of dive right there,

And that's already over
an ounce and a quarter?

Yeah, dude.

Remember, guys,
this is all flood gold.

Wait till we get
to the virgin ground beneath it.

Carlos:
Undiscovered country, where
it's just gold, gold, gold.

That's dream comes true, man.

That's next-level stuff
right there.

This could be a great year.

Scott: Looks like we got
some visitors coming in.

-What y'all doing?
-We just came to check out,

See what
you were doing down there.

They call that spying.
[ chuckles ]

One step at a time, man.

Holy crap, man!
You actually did this?

Ryan: Look out!
Get out the way!

Fred: You're down
to the [bleep] bone.

[bleep] [bleep]!

It's your first piece
of gold.

It's yours.
Wow!

James: Wait until you guys
get to see the gold

In this sluice box.

This might be
the retirement spot right here.

I got the gold fever already.

I'm going diving today!
Nobody can stop me.

Narrator: On the edge of the
mighty 80-foot mckinley falls,

Dustin's crew are putting
their lives on the line

To get down to bedrock gold
and finally strike it rich.

The guys are finding gold.
Hopefully, it's my turn today.

We know that the old-timers
got down to the bedrock itself,

And it was like a gold layer
over the whole bottom.

It's all about finding a place
that somebody hasn't dredged.

And I think this is it.

Narrator:
But record snowfall this winter

Means millions
of gallons of water

Are thundering down
through rockfall ravine.

Carlos: All right, dustin, man.
I got you loud and clear, man.

All right.
Gonna be a long dive.

Everybody do
what you're supposed to.

Whoo-hoo!
It's gonna be cold!

There you go.
Diving under water.

Go diving!

Go diving.

Do I get a basket?

All right, coming down on it,
coming down on it.

-Got it?
-Yeah, I got it.

I'll put it back slow.

Okay, I got you. Coming up slow.
Coming up slowly.

Up and over.

Nice basket!

Narrator: Dustin's finally
reached virgin ground.

Now he must clear all the
boulders and untouched gravel,

Collecting every nugget
on his way down

To what could be over
10 feet to bedrock

And a monster pile of gold.

That's a heck
of a rock, man.

How am I supposed
to get that out?

But the deeper he dives,
the bigger the boulders.

I got a bigger one right here.
Can I use something else, or?

You need a super claw?

I don't know if I can,
to tell you the truth.

Narrator: The super claw
is the ultimate tool

In the crew's arsenal
for moving the largest boulders.

Dustin: Oh, it's down?

All right, man,
that should be where you're at.

Got it. I got it.
I got it. Stop.

[ grunts ]

Yeah, I don't think
it's gonna work.

The rock's too big.

Narrator: After four hours
of wrestling a boulder...

Dustin:
We have to do something else.

Narrator:
...Dustin admits defeat.

What do you think?
What next, man?

Dustin: I don't know what I'm
doing, dude. I'm out of it.

[ sighs ]

Narrator: His path to bedrock
gold is blocked.

That was the hardest dredging
I've ever done -- ever.

Can't get a strap
because it's on the bottom.

There's no way for me
to get underneath it.

You know, the super claw worked
well for us last year.

It grabbed everything
we needed to.

But we're getting ahold
of some boulders here

We can't get
the super claw around.

We've got to get
these boulders out.

I mean, that's all
there is to it,

Because these big boulders
are covering up large gold.

Narrator:
Two miles down the mountain...

You got to be kidding me.
Holy -- kind of up and left.

The only reason I knew --

'cause he left his microphone
in the trailer,

And I noticed the toyota's
missing.

Narrator: Fred's most
experienced diver has gone awol.

[ phone rings ]

Hey, paul, where are you?

Paul: Sorry I had
to leave you guys,

But I had some stuff
I had to take care of --

Some personal business.

Damn! You're supposed to
let me know something, man.

I'm gonna put you guys
in a little bit of a bind,

But probably just
for a few days.

Get right back at it.

[bleep] [bleep].

Oh, we just got started.

How the hell
are we gonna get

To the bottom of that
hole without you?

I just had a call to paul.

He said that he had
some business to take care of.

I can understand,
but it really puts us in a bind.

Gonna be tough on us.
Gonna be real tough on us.

Narrator: Fred's crew has only
dived once all season.

Now he's down to just
one experienced miner

And his new recruit.

Paul had to leave.
We're by ourself now.

Ryan and I can't handle it
all week long.

Scott, we're gonna have to count
on you to pick up the slack.

You'll find out this is
not easy work.

When you understand
the system well enough

And got the right attitude
about it,

I'm gonna put you
in the water.

-Let's get to work.
-All right, man.

Scott: There's a little bit
of pressure.

They're trusting me
to come in here

And learn their whole dredge
system,

But, you know, if they're
willing to teach me,

I'm willing to learn it all.

Narrator: Marine scott allen
joined fred's crew

Just three weeks ago.

You know what you're doing
over here?

Yeah.

He's never gold mined before,

But with paul missing
in action...

I'll see you
on the other side.

...He gets a fast-track
promotion to dive tender.

Fred: Not having paul
is a big, big loss.

We've lost a lot of time
because of that virus.

I'm gonna give scott a lot
more responsibility today,

So we'll see how it works.

Narrator: Fred's crew return
to the trifecta

For only their second dive
of the season.

Here, the creek is much wider
than dustin's side,

So the bedrock gold should be
much deeper at over 20 feet.

Is that sitting on the bottom
right there?

Yeah.

I need to move it over
this way a little bit.

There. Right there.

Ryan: We're all sorry
to have lost paul,

But that's just gonna mean that
fred and I are going to have to

Dive a whole lot more
during the week.

There's a ton of white water
out there right now.

It's looking pretty dangerous
out there,

But I'm gonna hop in there
and see what I can do.

Hopefully, I can see some gold.

Narrator: Fred's convinced
they're dredging the site

Of a gold-rich
ancient waterfall.

Ryan's goal -- use the sled
to clear the large rocks

And dredge down through
the gravel to the bedrock floor,

Where they're sure there's
a pile of gold worth millions.

That's good.
Can you guys hear me?

Yeah, I can hear you.

I can't wait to get in the water

Hell, yeah.
Am I ready to go?

Yes, sir.
Let's get some gold!

Go get some gold.

How you feeling down
there, buddy?

Feels great!

Ryan, would you like
the sled?

Yeah, that'll work.

All right.

Ryan's first dive this year.

He's working on the bedrock
on the side, going down

He's taking smaller rocks,
putting them in the sled.

That rock basket's
pretty well good to pull.

Ryan: All right.

Here it goes.

He's kicking ass,
moving a lot of material.

He's got rocks
going in the basket.

We're getting her done.

Look out.

Looks like we got
some visitors coming in.

Carlos and dustin
are here.

-Hey, dustin.
-Hey, fred, how's it going, man?

Fred: All right.
What y'all doing?

We just came to check out,

See what you were
doing down there.

I want to see what
that dragoid can do.

Sometimes they'd call that
spying.

Just checking on my investment
and how you're treating it.

[ laughs ]

We already did that full section
right there, right?

All the way out to about 8 feet
from where you're standing.

Yeah.

That bridge sure got cracked,
huh?

Yeah.

Hey, fred,
how you doing, man?

Doing fine.

I came down here
to find out

What that dragoid
looks like, man,

'cause I got
some big boulders,

And I don't know
how to move them.

At any point, are you gonna
throw down?

With his own path to bedrock
gold blocked by a huge boulder,

Dustin's come to check out
fred's custom-built rock rake,

The dragoid.

How you doing, ryan?

Ryan: I'm doing good.
Do you need me to move?

Could you kind of just
stretch back over

Toward the wall
just a little bit.

Copy that.

Hey, scott, get that basket out
of there and rehook the dragoid.

It took dustin three weeks
to clear four feet

Of boulders and gravel.

All right, go ahead
and pull on it.

I got the downstream
cleared.

But with the dragoid,
fred matched that,

Removing the top four feet
of boulders in just one week.

Hopefully it don't grab
ahold of the sled.

Which it probably is.

Nope, it's right
on top of it.

Kill the dragoid.
[bleep] we're really honked up.

One of the dragoid's teeth
is caught on the sled.

Yeah, we got our dragoid
in the way of our sled,

And it caught it.

Gonna have to try to
turn it over or something.

Turn the dragoid over.

I can put it back
on its backside here

And as you loosen it, I can flip
to put right downstream.

You don't have
to do any of that.

Turn it over into the water.
It'll be off the sled.

It's gonna be backwards.

I know, but it'll straighten
itself out.

It's gonna be in deeper,
faster water, though.

No, it won't.
Push the dragoid over.

He's short a guy right now,
and he looks like

He's struggling pretty bad
because of it.

Push it over.

[bleep].

I don't even
want to watch.

New recruit scott allen needs
to untangle the sled

From the dragoid.

You've got
to be kidding me!

Dustin: So they parked the
dragoid just off to the side,

And they keep running into it
with the sled.

So they caught each other
pretty bad.

Dustin wants to see
if the dragoid

Can fix his own boulder problem.

...Shackle that I need.

Fred: You didn't put it on.
I just asked.

I thought you just put
a 15-foot cable on there.

No, because the shackle I need
is still attached to this.

We have
a communication problem.

Turn it over
into the water.

It'll be off the sled
all the way.

Thank you.

There you go.

Got to make sure that
that don't happen again.

Carlos: They're gonna wear
that boy out, man.

Dustin: Yeah.

I'm not a total fricking idiot
out here.

I know what I'm doing.

Let me earn the respect,
but give me the benefit

Of the doubt a little bit --
just a little.

When things go wrong,
you got to know how to fix them.

And new guys, a lot of times,

Just have no clue
what you're talking about,

So they start arguing with you.

And that's not
the way to deal with me.

So I'll see
how he handles things

Before we put him in the water.

Let's go!

Normally, we run
about three or four passes,

And then we let the diver
get back in there,

And he gets rid
of all the big rocks.

It ain't fast, but it damn sure
grabs the rocks.

Dustin: Fred, that thing
looks great, man.

I'd say it looks like
a great digging device.

I like fred's machine.
It's a powerful tool.

It just wouldn't work for us.

Rockfall ravine is too narrow.

I'm gonna head
over to my site.

-Thank you for the help.
-Got to be going.

What do you think, ryan?

Yeah.

Without paul here,
put a little strain on us,

But we had a good day.

I'm happy with what we're doing.

We get down a couple of feet
a day

With a pretty good sized hole.

If we can do that,
we're gonna get to that gold.

Coming up on three hours.

Paul: Copy that.

After three hours underwater...

All right, bring him in.
Good dive, ryan.

...They've made it down
another foot.

Oh, nicely done, buddy.
Nicely done.

Ryan:
The dive went pretty well today.

You know, we had a few problems
up top,

But it was just great to get
down there and be working again.

We're running into a lot

This year, we're onto rocks
that make the ones

That we pulled up last year
look like babies,

But we know what's underneath
these boulders -- huge gold.

I want something
that's gonna work

Like a cross between the baby
claw and the super claw.

The metal part only fits
around half of the boulder.

Of course, it's gonna have
another side and two cables.

But by the time we pick that up
and cinch it up,

We're gonna have a rock locked
right into that thing,

That it can't go anywhere.

Narrator: Wes's plan --

Weld 12 pieces
of square-sectioned steel

Into a giant claw,

Then fit a pair of cables
to create a noose.

The cables can be wrapped
around a boulder

When the skyline lifts the claw,

The cables lock
around the boulder

So they can haul it out
of the dive site.

Wes: Kind of looks

Man, I'm fricking
climbing, bro.

[ laughs ]

Holy [bleep], dude.

How are those knees
knocking, man?

Oh, dude.
Holy [bleep], bro.

Holy crap!

Look at that, man.

You handled that
like a champ.

[ retches ]

Are you throwing up?

[ laughs ]

He's throwing up.

Oh, my [bleep],

Holy [bleep], bro.

[ laughs ]

Thanks to carlos's work,

The crew can get back
on the hunt for monster nuggets.

Not even my deepest dive
put that much fear in me, man.

[bleep].

Half a mile upcreek,
fred's crew has dredged a hole

Six foot by six foot deep,
despite being a man down.

You've got to be
kidding me.

Scott:
More boulders in it.

But just as they were making
good progress,

Raging meltwater
has rolled more boulders

Into their dive hole
for the second day in a row.

You think that's raging
right now?

Wait till it rains
two or three days.

It will be rolling rocks
like a bowling alley.

Paul: We do a ton of work,
and then it's not worth

Coming down here the next day
and seeing all our work gone.

We need something
to keep boulders

From just blasting
into our hole.

Yeah.

Fred, what do you think
about this?

The bridge is gone.
It's fallen down.

Mother nature left these timbers
right where they are.

They're solid.

What if we run some
vertical slats down them,

Leave some space
for the current to get through,

But at the same time,

That won't let the bigger rocks
get through.

Do you think that would be
enough to cover us

And our hole in the back there?

Boulder blocker it is.
Let's do it.

Narrator:
Ryan's boulder blocker plan --

Use a come-along winch to
hoist up the broken footbridge.

Then slot in a set of six planks
and anchor them into the creek.

The planks will allow water
to pass between them,

But will block the boulders

So they can't
fill the dive hole.

We'll both get waders on
and get this rocking.

Looks like we're gonna need
a grinder

And a couple
wrenches for sure.

♪♪

All right, there you go,
right there.

We're getting our cables
wrapped around our lumber

And we're gonna pull it
slightly upstream

And separate them so we can
slide some boards vertical

Right down in there.

Those vertical boards
are gonna block our boulders

As they come down the creek.

And we're gonna leave
a little gap in between them

So the current can still go by.

That way, this bridge isn't
catching too much pressure.

[bleep].

Holy crap.

There goes our brace.

Try that again.

Okay.

All righty, here we go.

It may not go down easy.

Keep going all the way
to the bottom, all the way.

There you go.

Narrator: Two hours
of heavy construction...

Okay.

...And the crew
has a structure

To protect their dive hole
from rolling boulders.

All right, we have successfully
built us a boulder block here.

Ryan did a terrific job pounding
all them boards in there.

Scott did a great job
doing the support work out here.

It is not designed to slow down
all the current or anything --

Just to stop large boulders

Tumbling into our hole
down there.

This will put a stop
to those rock right here.

All right,
pick up your tools.

Let's go find some gold.

Boy, does he
love potato chips.

Oop, here he comes.
[ chuckles ]

We got a little mouse
friend here.

He apparently really likes
potato chips.

How about a mouse?
[ chuckles ]

Little field mouse trying
to make a living out here.

Well, I guess
he's probably full.

He's been sitting there
eating on potato chips

For about 20 minutes now.

Probably stroking out
on the salt.

[ chuckles ]

Fred: Another day,
another dollar.

Narrator: At mckinley creek,
fred and his skeleton crew

Prepare for their fourth dive
of the season.

Ready for another day
in the water, boss.

I think we need to talk
about that a little bit.

You've done well
this week.

Kind of earned it.

How about you get
in the water today?

All right.
Hell, yeah.

Let's try it out.

If you think I'm ready,
I won't let you down.

It's a really,
really good feeling

To finally be
getting in the water.

Get your ass across there.

Narrator: Scott has finally
earned his spot on the dive team

After stepping up while fred's
crew was a man down.

Rock and roll!
Let's go!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-
hoo-hoo-hoo!

I've been busting my ass
every single day

To earn that spot
to be diving.

He finally respects me enough

That he's gonna put me
in the water.

Fred:
He's earned enough points to get
in there and prove himself.

Here's his chance.

I've called his bluff.

Ryan: I've got to get some
tailings out of the way,

Move some boulders
with the dragoid,

And then it's time to suit up
and get my ass in the water.

Paul: You know,
he's in for a real treat.

He's done some diving
around the world,

But there's nothing
quite like dredging.

Scott:
I can push it with this.

[ metal creaks ]

[ metal clanks ]
[bleep]!

[ grunts ]

[bleep].

That pole slammed my hand
into a rock, sliced my hand.

Fred: Hang on.
Just a little blood.

Hang on.

Ryan, do you know where
our first aid kit is up here?

[bleep] damn it.

Calm down. You're shaking
so you're not okay.

Stupid!

Hang on.

Wrap that up.

[ groans ]

[bleep].

This is rookie dumb [bleep].

I was finally doing good,
and now I get hurt.

One of them may need
some stitches in that one.

Sorry, scott,
I can't let you dive today.

We're gonna go to the clinic
today.

Damn it.

It is deep.

I let you down.

-You're all right.
-[bleep].

Get it taken care of,
and we'll make do

With whatever
we got to do.

I feel like a total idiot.

This is that stupid [bleep] that
will cost us time in the season,

And we don't have time
in the season already.

Paul: Scott needs to lighten up
a little bit on himself

And just understand that,
you know,

Everything out here
is dangerous.

This could happen to any of us
at any time.

If they give him a couple
of stitches on that thing,

It takes about 10 days before
you get them stitches out.

Narrator: Without scott, fred's
lost another crew member

And is shut down.

I bet you never thought we'd be
two men short this season.

It's gonna be tough.

We're screwed.

Wes: You might have
a good day today.

Carlos: Yeah, dude,
I guarantee you, man,

It's gonna be
clear water, dude.

Down at mckinley camp,
it's full steam ahead.

Today, we're just gonna get
some yardage.

Go poke around all you want --
every nook and cranny.

Dustin's crew has repaired
the skyline

After hauling out a huge boulder
in their hunt for bedrock gold.

Let's go get the gold.
Whoo!

Now james gets his shot
at the virgin gravels beneath.

Name of the game today is

As much yardage
as humanly possible.

James, you're gonna have
a hell of a day, man.

Let's get some gold!

We're past the flood gold now,
and now we're into virgin land.

How's that, james?

Feeling pretty good.

All right, man.
Have a good dive.

Let's get ready to rumble!

This is all right down here.

All right, man.

I'm gonna go grab the nozzle.

♪♪

There's a nugget.

I'm seeing gold, guys.

Did you just say
you found a nugget?

I found two big nuggets
sitting on the bedrock.

All right.

Wow.
Whoa, yeah!

Good job, james!
That's the nuggets.

Hoping there's
a pile somewhere.

Ha ha!

Oh, yeah,
I'm seeing gold everywhere.

Oh, my [bleep].

Oh, there's gold everywhere!

Yes!

James, those are the words
I've been wanting to hear

The entire time
I've been doing this.

Gold, gold, gold.
I'm seeing gold, guys.

[ laughs ]

A little jealous I'm not
down there. I ain't gonna lie.

Wes: All this work's gonna
pay off, man.

This is gonna be
one hell of a spot.

Everything you want a gold miner
to say when they're underwater,

James is saying right now.

"I'm seeing big gold.
I'm seeing gold everywhere."

This is the place.
We have arrived! Whoo!

Wait till you guys get to see
the gold in this sluice box.

Narrator:
After three straight hours
of dredging virgin gravel...

James: Great dive, man.

It's beautiful gold down there.

Good job, man.
Good job.

Narrator:
...Dustin checks the sluices.

[ laughs ]

-Look at that.
-That's pretty.

There's gold
all over the place.

Yeah.

Dustin's crew haven't
hit bedrock,

And already,
the gravel is rich with gold.

Oh, I love that sound.

Just feels wonderful
to be picking nuggets.

Each nugget is worth
hundreds of dollars.

How's it looking?

It's looking
pretty good, man.

There's nuggets all over.

Damn good job, james.

Carlos: Wow, dude!
I heard that one.

Check this out, man.

James, so this is what
you did today, buddy.

Gonna be bigger gold,
it's gonna be a lot more gold,

And we still
haven't hit bedrock.

This might be
the retirement spot right here.

Dustin: We'll see how much
is down there,

But I think it's just
gonna get better.

Gold that's been sitting there
forever --

Thousands of years, possibly.

Now we're gonna go pick it up
and put it in our bank accounts.

Narrator: Next time
on "gold rush: White water"...

All right, there we go.

Come on!
[bleep].

I dropped some gold
in the box.

Everybody wants
to pull out gold.

Oh, what just happened?

We're pulling gold
right down the creek.

[ laughs ]

I'm retiring.

Holy crap!
Whoo!

What could possibly go wrong?

[bleep]! Carlos!
