[Kayla Johanson]
I am tired of your
[bleep] attitude.

[Scott Allen]
Can't believe I worked
that hard and she's like that.

I put my heart
and soul into this.
That's all there is to it.

We are all away from
the things that we love

and the people that
we love to be here.

He is not the only one
making a sacrifice.

He pulled [bleep]
like this last year, and...

...I could've easily
just let Dustin fire him.

And he seems to [bleep] forget

that he didn't have a job.

How this is gonna end,
I can't really answer that
at the moment.

I can't take it anymore.

[narrator] After battling
their new claim for the last
three months,

the crew has
precious little gold,

pushing the miners
to their breaking point.

[Scott]
I[bleep] worked my[bleep]
into the dirt for her.

- [Scott] She fired me.
- [man] She said that?

[man]
You'll be all right, bro.

You gotta be the bigger man
on this one.

[Scott] Nice talk.
I'm outta here.

[Carlos Minor]
That's the temper talk, amigo.
That's the temper talk.

At the end of the season,
we hate each other,

there's no gold
to bring us together.

[Scott] This is what
separates the men from
the boys right here.

[Scott] There's a lot
of organic coming out.

[Dustin Hurt] Water's coming
up real quick.

Come on out.

Whoa! Whoa.

- [Scott] [bleep] no!
- [Kayla] Scott!

Wheeled in!

How about you [bleep]
go back to camp?

I'm not here to scream.
I'm here to work.

It's not easy for any of us
to be here.

This is hard damn work.
We all know it.

[Dustin] I'm excited
that you're diving.

I'm more excited that I think
you're gonna get gold.

[laughing]

When the water bleeds,
you're so close to gold.

[all cheering]

[Dustin] Oh, look at the snow.

It's getting cold, y'all.

Snow in the mountains.

Freezing down here.

[narrator] Two-thirds
of the way through the season,

Mine boss Dustin Hurt

has just weeks left
to secure a fortune in gold,

and his future on Nugget Creek

before winter hits.

[Dustin] All right, uh,
well, let's suit up.

We all know
we need waders, right?

There's a red layer
down there,

somewhere that we
haven't really seen yet.

- [Dustin] And, uh,
that's where the gold is.
- Yeah.

[narrator] Last week,
after a string of disasters,

Dustin sought help
from former claim owner
Al Gilliam.

It's been the hardest
digging year I've ever had.

Don't expect to find gold
until you get down to bedrock.

You're gonna find a layer
and it's just all rusted
reddish color,

and it's all
bound together tight.

If you stay with it,

this is what
you're gonna find.

[Dustin chuckles]

[narrator]
Armed with new intel...

Oh, my[bleep]! Look up there!

Look underneath
the gold gates.

[narrator] ...Dustin finally
catches a break.

Did this[bleep]
set us up or what?

[narrator] In a stroke
of good luck,

the storm has left
a perfect dive spot

in the shadow
of a monster granite boulder.

The water did exactly what
I wanted it to do.

This is one big
sluice box right here.

[narrator]
Buried somewhere beneath

is a layer
of rust-colored hardpack.

Inside is a pay streak

that promises to run
all the way down to bedrock.

Dustin could be on the brink
of striking it rich.

[Dustin] I've been trying
to dig a hole all season.

Weather won't
cooperate, and, uh,

sun's up for the first time
in a long time,

so hopefully, with any luck,
today's our day.

Whatever it is,

it happens out here.

We are so invested
we have to keep going.

Keep digging a hole.

We'll get it done,

gonna find some gold.

Ah, [bleep].

Man, that's a lot
of water here.

[bleep] sake.

What?

All our water dribbled down.

[Dustin] You have got
to be kidding me.

Water level came down,
now we have
to float the dredge

to make it work again.

The dredge is sitting
on dry land right now,

it's not dredging,
so we're not getting gold.

This is not a good thing.

[narrator] Overnight,
water levels dropped after
temperatures plunged

to below 30 degrees,

freezing the runoff
and grounding their dredge.

[Wes Richardson] That needs
some serious [bleep] work.

[Dustin] Think I got an idea.

See if we can block it off
with a little bit
of plastic, maybe.

[narrator] To catch gold,

The sluice needs
to rest between four
and eight degrees.

And the only way
to ensure that

is to fill the pond
and float the dredge.

So, I just wanna get
the water level up,
that's all I really need.

So I just figured,
I've got this plastic.

We throw it on there,
when we get done,
we can pull it right out

and take it down with us,
but for now,

we're gonna use it
to our advantage

and get our water level
up a little bit.

[Carlos] Let's see here,
what're we gonna do?

That'll work.

Oh, [bleep].

Wes, it's working.

- [Carlos] Wanna push
back a little bit?
- [Wes] Oh, heck yeah, man.

[Wes] That's what
I'm talking about. Yeah!

- Fire it up.
- [motor whirring]

[narrator] Carlos can now
start dredging

for the gold-rich
red hardpack.

Oh, yeah, turn that water up.

[Carlos] She's a-dredging.
We're dredging!

This is it. Come on, baby.

This is where we get gold.
This is where we get gold.

[laughs]

- [Kayla] I'm just
topping them off.
- [Scott] Okay.

[Kayla]
Today, Justin and Scott
are gonna be in the water.

We're trying to get
a quick start,

because right now
we have a little bit
of clarity in the water,

which makes it easier
on the divers.

But since it is sunny,
as soon as that sun
hits the snow upstream,

the water level rises,
it murks out.

[narrator]
Unlike at Dustin's site,

the freeze in the mountains
is actually helping
Kayla's crew.

- [Justin Peterson]
The water is clear and low.
- [Scott] Yup.

- [Justin] Current don't
look too bad right now.
- [Scott] No, it don't.

My goal today is to punch
down and try to get down
to eight feet.

Keep following this
bedrock wall down,

I gotta believe that
Nugget Creek is gonna
live up to its name.

And we need all hands on deck.
It's too late in the season

and we're all way too tired
and broken and beaten down.

I'm really hoping that
this spot pays off as well
as we think it will.

Yeah, I know it's slightly
annoying to have
the tape on there,

but it's even more annoying
to have frozen hands.

[Justin] Yeah, I know.

- [Kayla] Scott.
- [Scott] Yup.

[Kayla] You're gonna be on
the small dredge side.

Justin, you're gonna
be on the outer
dredge today.

[Justin] No problem.

Got the hole basically
to around five feet in depth.

If we keep following this
bedrock wall on this side,

it keeps sloping down.

We'll find where
it starts leveling out

and we can find
the bottom of the creek
and hit actual bedrock.

I'm really hoping that
within the next week
we can see some gold.

[narrator] After three months
finding only traces of gold,

Kayla is modifying her plan.

On the nearest side
of the creek,

they've identified
a sloping wall of bedrock.

Kayla will chase it down
to the deepest point

in the center of the creek

where she believes,
below the layer
of red hardpack

they will find
a treasure trove of gold.

- [Paul Richardson] How's that?
- [Scott on radio] Little more
on the bottom down here.

[Kayla] So, we need
to just work together

and get it done.

We really need
to see gold soon

because we're running
out of time.

And if we don't get any gold,
then we wasted
an entire season.

That feel good?

[Paul] Can you hear me, Scott?

- [Scott] Yeah, I can hear you.
- That's good. Copy that.

[Paul] I can hear you.

Good? All right, I think
you're good to go.

[Scott] Sweet.

Let's find some gold.

- [Justin] That feels good.
- [Paul] All right.
You ready?

[Paul] It's definitely nice
having two divers
in the water

completely suited up again.

Right now, we are in
a desperate fight

to get to the bottom,
see if we can find some gold.

before weather runs us out.

Everything we've heard
about this area,

we need to get
to that rusty red layer,
that's where the gold is.

[Scott] All right.

- [Scott] Can I get a choker?
- [Justin] Oh, yeah.

[Scott] Thank you.

[Kayla] Is that rock
ready to go?

[Justin] What?

[Kayla] Is that rock
ready to go?

- [Kayla] Justin.
- [Scott] Justin.

[Scott] That rock good to go?

[Justin] Yeah, yeah.
It's good to go.

[Scott] Gotta say
something, dude.

[Paul] If you need something,
Justin, you gotta ask for it.

Nobody can read your mind.

[Kayla] Hey, Justin.

I have to have
you communicate.

[Justin speaking]

[Kayla] It's just a yes
or a no.

- [Kayla] Yes, communicate,
please communicate.
- [Justin] Yeah.

[Justin] I will.

[Kayla] This year
is definitely
trying my patience.

Every day we've had issues,

whether it be the winches, um,

motor on the dredge
not wanting to start,

hot water overheating.

We've always had
something going wrong.

And it's definitely
a frustrating place.

[Justin] That rock you're
standing on needs to go.

[Scott] Yeah, 'cause I'm
right up against it now.

It's uppercutting
into the current.

[narrator] While Scott
dredges for depth,

Justin works above him,
widening the dive hole

and removing rocks.

[Justin] All right,
what do you got, Scott?

[Scott] What? That you?

[Justin] Yeah, that's my head.

Yeah.[laughs]

All right, I gotta go
around that way.

- [Scott] Oh,[bleep]! No!
- [Kayla] No, Scott!

[Justin] All right,
what do you got, Scott?

[Scott] What?

[narrator] In an effort
to salvage their season...

[Scott] That suction
feels really good.

[narrator] ...Scott and Justin
are working close quarters

as they push towards
a bedrock payday.

- [Scott] That you?
- [Justin]
Yeah, that's my head.

[Scott] Yeah.[laughs]

I gotta go around
that way--[yelps]

- [Justin] No!
- [Kayla] Scott!

- [Kayla] What'd you do?
- [Scott groans]

[Scott] [bleep].

Ugh.

[Kayla] You okay?
What's wrong?

[Scott] Pulled a[bleep].

Argh.

[Scott] [bleep], Justin,
I told him earlier
to [bleep] move a rock.

Like, yeah, I told him,
I thought that it could,
so I went to move.

It came down and there was
another rock underneath me.

- [Kayla] Ouch.
- [bleep] me.

- [Scott] It's right on
the ankle bone, like right...
- [Kayla] Right here?

[Scott] Right there is where
it hurts the most.

It might just be, like,
an impact hurt,

and maybe it'll wear off
in about ten minutes.

- Wanna give it a rest
for a little while?
- Yeah.

[Kayla] See how you feel.

If it's hurting too bad,
one of us will get in for you.

Scott hurt his ankle.

Um, it sounds like had
a big rock that he had Justin
roll out of the way.

Justin told him that
he got it up and out,

but, really, it sounds like
he just, like,

stacked it on
the perimeter of the hole.

So, there's a lack
of communication, and...

...it's starting
to cause issues.

[Scott] I don't know
what to do with this.

You've been on top of me
almost this entire
[bleep] dive.

Hey, Justin.

Justin!

Work farther that way

so that he has room
on this side.

- [Kayla] How's your ankle?
- It hurts.

I don't know, I'll tell you
at the end of the day.

[Kayla] If you need
to switch out,
just let me know.

You don't communicate,
especially when there's

another diver in the water
with you,

you're putting the other
person in danger.

- But, like, right now,
he doesn't talk.
- Exactly.

[Paul] We don't even know,
I don't even know if he's
in the water.

[Kayla] I don't know what
the [bleep] to do with him.

It's to the point where
he's becoming a threat

to our equipment
and our people.

- [Carlos] It's quite deep.
- [Dustin] Let's go deep.

[Dustin] We got a dive,
ain't we?

We've got a dive, dude.

[narrator] In an hour,
Dustin's crew has cleared

over three feet of gravel

in their hunt
for the red hardpack.

[Carlos] Gotta blow these
straight out of the way.

- [Dustin] This one, this one,
and that one?
- [Carlos] Yep.

- [Dustin laughs]
- We gotta pop 'em, dude.

- You comfortable doing this?
- [Carlos] I'm good.

James and I are gonna
start drilling and blasting.

Well, we got the dredge going,

and the hole's getting
deeper and deeper.

And there's a few
big rocks in the way.

So James and I
are gonna get after him

and make little rocks
out of big rocks.

[pops] Manageable sizes.

[laughs]

I'd say go three at least.

[Carlos grunts]

Sorry.

Blow it up!

[Dustin] Three, two, one!

Whoa.

- [Dustin] Let's do that again.
- [man] Yeah!

[Dustin] Goodness.

- [whirring]
- [Dustin] It's starting
to move.

[Dustin] I'm just saying,
like, the water is coming up
pretty good.

We were worried about
not having water this morning.

- [Carlos] I know.
- [Dustin] That's not a problem
anymore, Carlos.

[Carlos laughs] Obviously not.

So the water has picked up
since we have got here
this morning.

It might be, uh,
through the full day
of sunshine,

which we rarely get.

Snow is melting
and it's coming down hard.

- [Dustin] Man, that's a lot
of white water, man.
- [Carlos] Yeah, it is.

[Dustin] It floods
when it rains,

and it floods more
when it's sunny.

That's the [bleep].

[Carlos] Oh, [bleep].

What? Whoa! [bleep]!

That's a lot of water
you got coming down, man.

That's a lot of dirty water.

Think we got
a flash flood coming.

[narrator] In just seconds,

millions of gallons
of raging water

now surges through
Nugget Creek,

threatening to erase
all their progress once again.

[Dustin] Grab my drill,
come on out
and get out of here.

Water's coming up real quick.

Come on out. Oh, [bleep].

I'm mostly worried about
trees coming through
right now. [bleep].

Whoa!

Hurry up, hustle it up,
let's get it back.
Let's get the nozzle up.

What is with this place, man?

- [Dustin] That's some
crazy [bleep].
- [Carlos] Yeah, it is.

You're not gonna have
a hole again in a minute.

Where did this come from, man?

[Carlos] Heat. The heat.

Snow bridge.

[Dustin] Snow bridge,
you're right.

[narrator] Even late
in the season,

snow bridges still
cover over a mile
of the upper creek.

[Dustin] Well, the snow
bridges collapsed.

And obviously,
it's warming up today
for them to keep collapsing.

There's just so much material
on top of them,

it just hits the damn
water so hard,

and all this little bitty
fine kitty litter,
the stuff here,

just fills in everywhere.

[Carlos] Son of a gun.

It's that quick.
Take your work.

Take your work that fast
in an instant.

[Carlos] We can't catch
a frickin' break.

[Dustin] Might be a good time
to go up there and check out
their place.

[Carlos] I don't know.
I hope they got out.

[Dustin] We should go up there
and check it out.

How's it going over here?

[Kayla] Oh, it's getting dark.

[Paul] It's getting real dark.

[Scott] There's a lot
of organic coming down.

- [Wes shouting] Ice!
- [Paul] What the hell?

[Wes] That snow bridge
must've just collapsed.

Usually it doesn't stay
brown that long.

[Paul] Yeah.

[Wes] So, our water picked up
almost instantly.

I mean, it is starting to wash
this stuff down, like,

like something
broke loose up here.

We figured a snow bridge
or something broke loose
up here,

so we just, like,
we got out for a minute

'cause it's starting
to take our dredge hose

and filled up
our hole in, like,
three minutes, and...

[Dustin] Three minutes,
filled up a three-foot hole.

Holy [bleep].

- Right up to the top, man.
- [Paul] Yeah.

It was wild.

[Kayla] I think
we're gonna call it.

Hey, Scott.

[Scott] Yeah?

What do you think
your depth is right there?

[Scott] So I'm right
about there.
So I'm 6'2"...

- [Kayla] So, about six feet.
- [Scott] ...about six foot.

[Scott] Probably about
three feet into the hole.

[Kayla] Are you at a good spot
that you could stop?

We're gonna call it.

[Scott] I'm gonna need
about ten minutes, yeah.

[narrator] It's another
tough blow to a battered crew.

And morale
is at an all-time low.

Did y'all just stay
against this wall
the whole way?

[Paul] No, well,
Scott's right here,

Justin's out
towards the basket,

or he's supposed to be.

[Wes] He's supposed to be?

[chuckling] Is anything
going on with the dredge?

[Paul] I have no clue.

I just know he doesn't
communicate at all.

Not a word.

[Kayla] Yeah.

[Wes] That makes it
kinda tough.

What I'm beginning
to wonder with him,

if he doesn't have
a hearing problem...

[Dustin] He does have
a hearing problem.

[Paul] Really?

[Kayla] Kinda something
you should tell people.

Yeah, that's pretty important.

[Kayla] He's the worst
at communication.

Whether you can hear or not,

- you can still speak.
- Yeah.

[Kayla] I have to talk to him.

[Paul] All right, kids,
see you at camp.

[Scott] I'm smoked. I'm done.

Justin, come out.

[Justin] Okay.

We gotta communicate
a lot better underwater, dude.

[Justin] I can't hear
anything down there.

When you have
two people in water
that you can't see in,

whether you can
hear us or not,
you have to talk.

Have to, there's no excuse.

Like, when I got out
of the water, free flow,

I could hear,
quietly, everyone.

So I had to come up.
If I was down below,

and the air was going,
I could barely, like,

...unless someone
really yelled.

[Paul] I've got all,
all the volumes
are maxed out,

diver to tender's maxed out...

tender to diver's maxed out,

diver to diver is maxed out.

[Kayla] Do you have
a hearing issue?
Can you not hear?

I mean, I do have
slight hearing loss.

We can still talk.
We're not trying
to pick on you,

but it's something,
it has to improve.

Or we can't put you
in the water because

it's becoming
a hazard to people.

[Scott]
We'll get you up there.
Don't worry about it, buddy.

I'll get you there.

We.

- [Scott] Yeah, we.
We will get you there. Sorry.
- It's not just you.

I've definitely lost
a little bit of hearing.

I've worked
at industry situations
a long time,

and as diligent as you are
about earplugs and everything,

you're gonna have
some effects from that
over the years.

But I try not to let it
ever get in the way.

He needs to communicate more.

He needs to talk.
We need to know
what's going on.

And if he's not going to talk,

then I'm not going
to put him back in the water.

Getting some go juice
for the dredges,

generators.

We need to get
a full dive day.

It's starting to get
termination dust on top
of these peaks.

And when that happens,
we just watch the snow get

further down,
come further down,

further down, further down,
and when it gets...

...real close,
we gotta boot-scoot, man.

Mother Nature wins at the end.

See you up there, man.
Good luck, guys.

- [Dustin] I am anxious to see
what it's gonna look like.
- [Carlos] Ah.

[Dustin] This... well,
let's go see how much
it filled in.

[Carlos] Yeah.

- [Carlos] Filled in.
- [Dustin] No [bleep]!

- What?
- Our hole filled in.

Filled in.

[narrator] The surge
from the snow bridge collapse

has dumped three feet
of material into
their dive hole.

[James] All the way up.

[narrator] Their search
for the gold rich
red hard pack

is back to square one.

That's kitty litter, bro.
We can just such that out,
like no problem.

The big boulders,
it's when they fell in
with the big boulders,

that's the problem.

Kitty litter, it's just
a thorn in our side.

We can take it out
just as quick.

It's just annoying.

[James] We've got the hose in.

[Carlos] Yeah, fire it up.

[engine starts]

- [James] There you go.
- [Carlos] Whoo!

Yeah!

Yeah, look how deep
that is. Ooh!

That is deep.

[James] Pretty incredible.

Let's get a diver
int the water, man.

I'm gonna go suit up.
Why not?

[narrator] It's a race
to reach the red hard pack

before Mother Nature
lands her next blow.

Feeling pretty confident
about this dive.

We got good vis and it's time
to get to work.

We need to get gold,
we're desperate.

[Dustin] We just need
to dive down.

We need to find that red
layer down there.

If no one's got to it
we're gonna get
a ton of gold out of here.

[Carlos] Speak, James.

[James] Hello?

[Dustin] I got you.

Air check.

Good.

I'm excited
that you're diving.

I'm more excited
that I think you're
gonna get gold.

[James laughs]

- Look, all right, James,
you're good to go.
- [James] All right.

[Dustin] Diver in the water.

- Diver in the water.
- [Dustin on radio]
Diver in the water.

Finally, right?

[James on radio]
I like the fact I can see.

Some rocks, so I need
to start out with in the back.

Thank you, Carlos.

Hot water's good.

Finally digging.
All right.

I wouldn't be surprised
if we see gold today, guys.

[grunts]

[Dustin on radio]
I hope you're run,
but don't blow it, man.

[Kayla]...Care, when
are you going?

[bleep] you're not
the [bleep] boss.

[narrator] After three
long months of hard labor,

bad weather, injuries,
and endless setbacks,

Kayla's crew still haven't
found a single ounce of gold.

[Scott] [bleep] be a little
crybaby about [bleep] that.

What the [bleep]
is wrong with you?

[narrator] Crew morale
is nearing rock bottom,

and tempers are on
a hair trigger.

[Scott] Don't use my [bleep]
batteries then, how's that?

I have my own
[bleep] batteries.

Cool, use your own
[bleep] batteries.

How about you
[bleep] go back to camp?

[Scott] All right.

[Kayla] I am tired of your
[bleep] attitude.

Cool.

I tried to make things work.

- No, you [bleep]--
- I tried to make things work

as efficiently
as [bleep] possible.

[Kayla] You make it worse.

The [bleep] I do.

[Kayla] You do.

With your [bleep] attitude,
you been bringing
all these along to work,

you're making it
[bleep] worse.

Well, with your attitude
that you're bringing,

you been making
the season worse, so...

I guess that's par
for the course, isn't it?

Get the [bleep]
out of my face, Scott.

Get the [bleep]
out of my face.

I'm done with you.

Should've fired you last year

when you [bleep] told [bleep]
last year [bleep].

Should've let Dustin fire you.

I put my heart and soul
into this.

That's all there is to it.

Worked my ass off.

I don't know.
Don't know.

I don't know what's going on.

I [bleep] worked my [bleep]
into the dirt for her.

Oh, what the hell?

What's going on?

- She fired me.
- She said that?

- Yep.
- [Carlos] You'll be
all right, bro.

You gotta be the bigger
man on this one.

[Dustin] Let's talk.

- [Scott] I'm out of here.
- [Carlos] That's the temper
talking, amigo.

It's a temper talk.

At the end of the season,
we hate each other.

There's no gold
to bring us together.

Everything's a little bit
unstable, man.

This is the time where you see
what you're made of.

[Wes] This is what separates
the man from the boys
right here.

[Scott] What the [bleep]
is happening?

I just busted my ass.

And then goes off
about my attitude.

Yeah, I've had a little bit
of an [bleep] attitude.

I'm missing a lot [bleep]
back home with my kids

and it's starting
to weigh on me.

A lot firsts with my daughter.

[sighs] First crawling,
first words,

I'm about to miss her
first steps

and those are the things
you can't get back.

So it's been weighing on me.

It hurts.

You know, coming home
with a pocket full of gold,

you've got something
in your hand that
you can show the kids.

Say, "Hey, this is what
Dad was gone for.

This is gonna provide
a better life for us.

This, you know,
Dad's sacrifice, being gone
from you and missing things,

it was worthwhile because,
hey, you're gonna have
a better life because of it."

But I can't have that.

I don't have that.

I don't have that
gold in my hand.

[Kayla]
Scott is a good worker.

But don't disrespect
me like that.

- [Paul] No?
- I'm gonna tell you
to [bleep] leave.

Got so mad I don't even
want to get in the [bleep]
water now.

[Dustin] Scott thinks
he's fired.

- Is that right?
- [Kayla] He's not
[bleep] fired.

I told Scott to go back
to camp for a little while

because he's throwing temper
tantrums all the time.

- I'm tired of it.
- Okay.

- I was just curious.
- I get the feeling that he's
trying to make us look bad.

Because he wants to run
the [bleep] crew.

[Dustin] I understand
what you're saying.

[Kayla] He wants to be
in charge and he's pissed
off that he's not in charge.

And him's trying to step
on my toes,

and that macho man,
immature [bleep]
can go somewhere else.

I don't have
the time for that.

We're all here trying
to achieve the same goal.

I hear you. All right,
let me go talk to him.

[Paul] All right.

Scott has brought up
multiple times, you know,

he's got young
children at home.

I understand it's hard
to be away,

but we are all away
from the things that we love
and the people that we love

to be here.

He is not the only one
making a sacrifice.

He pulled [bleep] like this
last year

and I can't take it anymore.

Right now we don't
have time to waste.

So if somebody
doesn't want to work

or if somebody
has an attitude,

we're not gonna
let that stop us.

I'm not here to scream.

I'm here to work.

[narrator] A man down,
Kayla can't risk Justin,

their most inexperienced
crew member

tending for both her and Paul,

[Kayla] Hey, Justin?

how do you feel about getting
in the water?

I don't quite think
I'm confident enough

to leave you up here by
yourself and tend two people.

I know I can handle it.

If you want to get
in the water so we can still
get out double dive in today

that would be a huge help.

- Okay.
- [Kayla] Are you up for that?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- [Kayla] Want to start
getting suited up?
- All right.

I'll keep working on
where I know I was.

- [Kayla] Okay.
- So that works out great.

I need you to make sure
that you focus clearly
on communication.

- Yeah, I've been
practicing with this.
- [Kayla] 100%.

- So.
- It'll seem annoying,

it'll seem weird,
it'll seem awkward.

You gotta get over that.

I need you, especially
with him.

- [Justin] Yep.
- So talk to him.

Okay.

We're not going
to hit that rock this year
if we don't focus.

- Yes. I'll do
whatever it takes.
- So.

[narrator] For Kayla
to continue to safely run
to two-dredge operation,

Justin must prove
that he can change his ways.

[Justin]
The water's still clear.

We want to, like what
do we need to do here to...

Like what am I trying
to say here?

[Kayla] We need to focus
on widening the hole

so that way, we can keep
going down and gain more
depth as well

and not tunnel straight down.

I'm trying to...
I'm working on it a lot.

[Paul] You can ask me
all kinds of questions
all day long.

- [Kayla] Nobody's gonna get
mad about questions.
- [Paul] No.

But when you don't
do something and you don't
tell us that you don't know

and that's why you're
not doing it,
that's gonna piss me off.

When we're standing here

and it' quiet and I don't
have the rushing water,
I can hear.

- [Paul] Yeah.
- But once it goes
in there, it's like...

[muffled speaking] Like...

and then [imitating radio]
"Justin," I know what
that means.

Why don't we plug in
his mask right now?

If we can hear on it,
then we know there's
not an issue.

You talk into this.

- Talk loud.
- [Justin] I'm talking.

- Loud.
- I'm talking fairly
damn loud here.

- Not Scott level, but loud.
- [Kayla] Yell!

- [loudly] Okay!
- Okay, I can hear you.

[Kayla] Justin,
can you hear me?

[Justin on radio]
You're clear.

Close your ambient
and check your air
for me.

- Good?
- [Justin] Yep.

[Justin on radio] I think
I'm on the edge of the hole,
I think.

[Kayla on radio]
All right, you guys
have a good dive.

We really need Justin
to cooperate from here on out

because we don't
have that much time left.

Um...

If we don't hit bedrock

that's a whole season
that we pretty much wasted.

So we really need
to put everything in it.

We need to move
a lot of material.

We need to get to bedrock
so that we can hopefully
see some gold.

[Justin grunts]

Here's where I was.

[Paul on radio]
Yeah, this would be
the front edge of our...

The hole we got going.

Please stay with me right now.

Got some big rocks
that came down on the bottom.

[Justin on radio]
Stay over here and avoid

knocking anything
in your direction.

Despite people issues,

we still managed to get
two divers in the water today.

We're still gonna
get a lot done.

This morning started off
really rocky,

but we're still gonna
make the best of it.

- [Dustin] Hey, man.
- [Scott] What's going on?

[Dustin] So I went over
and talked to them.

Somehow you got
irate is what I heard.

As I was packing
my stuff up and getting
out of my waders,

she's like, "You should've
been [bleep] fired
for that last year."

[Dustin] Yeah,
but that doesn't
mean you're fired, so...

Let's just calm yourself,

and we'll see where this goes,
I don't know what to tell you.

I'd say play it cool
and try to figure out

how to get along
with your crew,

and if you can't, then
you need to go home.

There's only two ways.

[Paul on radio]
Now we got progress.

I'm liking this.

[narrator] On Nugget Creek,

Justin and Paul are two hours
into a double dive

chasing a sloping bedrock wall

in pursuit of a gold-rich
red layer.

[Justin on radio]
Right here, I thought of
moving a big one out.

[indistinct]

[narrator] Men down,
the crew has to pull together

or face going home
empty-handed.

[Justin on radio]
I hit a rock.
I'm dropping one.

[Paul on radio]
Okay, go for it.

I'm way over here
away from you, so.

[Justin on radio]
Copy that.
I'm against the wall.

What if you hear
and it's right this moment?

[Paul on radio]
Thank you.

[Justin on radio]
Still rolling.

[Paul on radio]
Copy that.

Justin seems to be
doing a lot better
with communication,

and I think the talk
with him today
really got to him,

so it's nice to have
that breakthrough.

And he's doing so much
better which I love seeing.

Yesterday, I think we had
the hole about six feet.

We've been getting a lot
of material moved,
a lot of rocks moved,

so I'm really happy
to see that.

[narrator] As Paul dredges,

Justin continues moving
rocks and boulders
out of the dive hole.

[Justin on radio]
All right.

Awesome.

Okay.

We got a nice ridge wall.

[Paul on radio]
Getting chilly
in[bleep] hole.

[bleep] What
the[bleep] is going on?

[Kayla] What's going on, Paul?

[Paul on radio]
I'm not sure I'm getting
any water.

- I don't think the valve
was going the entire...
- [Kayla] It's not working?

[bleep] stuck again.

What the [bleep]?

And it gets stuck shut
and then it gets stuck open.
[bleep.]

[Justin on radio]
Can I help him?

- I don't know.
- [Paul on radio] I might
go ahead and call it.

Think I'm done for the day.

[narrator] Paul's hot water
supply failing,

he's forced to cut
short his dive.

[Paul on radio] Damnit.

[narrator] The crew's success
now rests entirely on Justin.

[Justin on radio] All right,
I'm gonna get
downstream a little.

I got more rocks
to lift, come on.

- [Justin laughs]
- [Paul] He's good
for right now.

Definitely been some
weird gremlins today.

[Kayla] [bleep] yeah, [bleep].

[Paul] I did clear off some
of the backslide.

I was hoping to get
more of that done today,

but it just wasn't
in the cards for today.

[Kayla] On a positive note,

- Justin's been going
pretty good today.
- He has, hasn't he?

I mean, Justin,
he's definitely stepped
it up today

as far as his
communications go.

- [Kayla] It's a big
improvement from yesterday.
- [Paul] Yeah.

[Paul] Yeah.

- [Justin on radio]
That's ready to go.
- [Paul] Okay.

[Justin on radio] After that,
I got one to choke.

[Paul on radio]
Okay, choker's over here,
I'll get it to you.

[Justin on radio]
Thank you.

All right.

Take it away.

[Paul] Nice rocks.

[Justin on radio]
Got it.

Holy moly, you guys.

We're making a hole.

[narrator] After five
hours in the water...

[Justin on radio]
Yeah, I hit seven foot.

[narrator] Justin has taken
them a foot closer
to pay dirt,

salvaging their week
from ruin.

[Paul] He's definitely
kicking ass, man.

[Kayla on radio]
Hey, Justin, you hear me?

[Justin on radio]
I can hear you.

[Kayla] I think we're gonna
call it for the day
if you want to come up.

[Justin] Okay.

[Kayla] Go ahead.

- Did a good job today.
- Thank you.

- [Justin] I talk more?
- [Kayla] Yes.

You did way better.
Thank you.

I'm trying to learn,
sorry I was so slow.

[Kayla] That was
a huge improvement.

So thank you.

Good job.

I wasn't planning
on diving today,

my rotation was yesterday,

but situation's occurred

and it ended up being
more effective for Kayla

to attend for both Paul and I.

But what you did today

is what I've been
trying to get you
to do the whole time.

[Justin] Sorry
it took so long.

So if we could just
stay on that track,

it'd be perfect.

Nothing yet?

- Nothing.
- [Kayla] Okay.

[Justin] I got a lot moved
today, that felt good.

Despite having a really
bad start to the day,

um, and being down
on a crew member,

we still managed to get a good
amount of material moved.

To see Justin step up

and actually
improve like that,

that much improvement
in one day was a huge relief.

So we're not gonna let
people issue stop us.

We aren't quitters.
We're not gonna give up.

Hopefully we see some
really good gold

for all the effort
we're putting in.

[James on radio]
It's looking good.

[narrator]
Down at Dustin's site...

[James on radio]
Starting to look
really good, my friend.

[narrator]
...James is three hours
into his first dive

in the looming shadow
of a 50-ton boulder.

[James on radio]
I've gotta come back
over and clean this.

[narrator] Somewhere below him
is the promised red hard pack,

and a monster payday.

[James on radio]
Looks like beautiful weather.

[Dustin] I'm pretty sure
you're the warmest.

[James on radio]
Oh, I'm overheating.
I'm sweating in my mask.

[Dustin] Yeah, I don't
have that problem right now.

[Carlos] Why can't dredging
ever be easy?

Why can't we just
dredge in The Bahamas?

Or Hawaii?

Or...

Somewhere nice
and warm, you know?

Tell us what you're down
there doing, man.

- How's it looking?
- [James grunts]

[James on radio]
It's just, uh...

This is really hard to dig.

Like really hard to dig.

[Carlos on radio]
Seeing any color, man?

[James on radio]
Nah, I'm just
dredging like crazy.

Already trying as hard
as I can

to get us down to bedrock.

[Carlos on radio] All right,
take your time, man.

I mean, you know,
pace yourself, brother.

Remember it's a marathon,
not a sprint.

[James on radio]
Running into orange rocks.

[Dustin on radio]
Do you think you made it down
to the rust layer finally?

[James on radio]
I think so.

[Dustin on radio]
Yep, dredge water starting
to turn orange.

[James grunts]

[Carlos] Oh, yeah! Whoo-hoo!

[Dustin] Look how orange
that stuff is.

- [Carlos] I know, dude. It's
like one of those riddles.
- [Dustin] Look at it.

When the water bleeds,
you're so close to gold.

[others laugh]

[narrator] It's taken
three months

of blood, sweat, and tears,

but James has finally
gotten the crew down
to the red layer

that legend says
is rich in gold.

[James on radio]
All right, frickin' tired.

See what we got.

All right, I'm done.

[Dustin] Good dive.

Thank you.

Look like you made
some real progress though.

[Carlos] Good job, James.

- [James] Hey, man.
- [Carlos] I'm really,
really excited, man,

to see what's in the box.

[James] How's it look?

Dirts, probably some.
Maybe some fine but it could
be covered up too.

[Dustin] Yeah.

I mean, we're starting
to get a little bit
of orange come over.

Just sporadically.

We gotta be getting
close to it.

[bleep] Though for sure
we was gonna get
some color today.

We had a good dive.

I'm not gonna lie,
I expected a lot of gold.

The way he was digging,
where he was digging...

Got it in my had that...

Here we have it.

We'll see.

Just keep diving,
see what happens.

[Scott] Been up since
3 o'clock this morning.

I don't want to cause issues

with the rest of the crew
and everything.

- [Dustin] Okay.
- Just...

I think it's time
for me to go.

[Dustin] Well, I understand.

I think you're making
a bad choice.

Some things in life
you regret more than others.

Maybe not this week,

maybe not next week.

[Scott] It's the hardest
decision I've ever
had to make.

If you don't mind,
I'll tell everybody.

So, y'all, it's time
for me to go.

Time for me to go home.

Right, wrong,
or indifferent.

I made a decision.

With all due respect, I think
you're gonna hate yourself,
man, in another month.

Please, man, you jumped
the gun on that one.

[James] Yeah, Scott,
don't do that, dude.

It's time for me to call it.

Wish you all
the absolute best.

Yeah, I'm sorry, man.

A pleasure working with you.

Bring it in.

Best wishes.

Stick around, dude.

All right, man.

- Thanks for everything,
brother.
- Yeah.

[exhales]

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- [Scott speaks indistinctly]

Good luck. Good luck, brother.

You've come a long way, man.

It's time for me to go.

- Stay safe.
- I wish you good luck.

[Scott crying]

[Dustin] We all make our own
choices to be here,

- So that's very true.
- Yep.

It's not easy for any
of us to be here.

- So you have to make
your choice and that's his.
- [James] Yeah.

This is hard damn work.

You gotta be away
from your people.

We all know it.

It kills me because I love
it up here so much.

I love this group of guys
like family.

But I got a family back home
that I need to go back to.

It's time.

It's just time.

[sighs]

Scott played a huge role

in overcoming a lot
of the challenges
that we faced this year,

and I hate to see him leave
this close to the end,

and him not to get
to finish it out with us,

but if his heart isn't
in this, that's his choice.

We're not gonna let
it stop us, we're still
gonna push forward.

We're gonna do what we have
to do to get a lot of gold.

[narrator]
On the nextGold Rush:
White Water...

Find us some gold.

Really need it.

Right now.

Hell yeah!

Every time we make
a little bit of progress,
it gets wiped away.

[bleep]

- [Kayla] Justin.
- Just ripped in half.

[man on radio]
We should just abandon this.

We gotta push it
to the limits now.

- [Dustin]
I'm seeing gold, guys.
- [Paul] [bleep] yeah!

- [whoops]
- Oh, [bleep] yeah!

I can see it!

- We got gold!
- [all cheer]

Yeah [bleep] right, man!
