1
00:00:04,538 --> 00:00:06,105
It was a hell of a season.
2
00:00:06,107 --> 00:00:10,242
Now the stars of "Gold rush"
Tell their secrets.
3
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:12,845
My name is parker schnabel,
And this is my confession.
4
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:16,648
After an emotional
Roller coaster of a season...
5
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:17,916
Since she died,
6
00:00:17,918 --> 00:00:18,984
I didn't really take any time.
7
00:00:18,986 --> 00:00:21,587
To think about
Her actually being gone.
8
00:00:21,589 --> 00:00:23,922
With never-before-seen
Footage...
9
00:00:23,924 --> 00:00:25,524
Welcome home.
10
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:27,593
This is one step above camping.
11
00:00:27,595 --> 00:00:28,894
The miners reveal.
12
00:00:28,896 --> 00:00:31,030
That there's two sides
To every story...
13
00:00:34,201 --> 00:00:35,467
He's not an honest person.
14
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:38,137
How new
Relationships were formed...
15
00:00:38,139 --> 00:00:39,872
She's got all the qualities
I like.
16
00:00:39,874 --> 00:00:41,940
And old ones destroyed...
17
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,447
Tony beets is a couple buckets
Short of a dredge.
18
00:00:48,449 --> 00:00:51,850
With the shocking
End of a long friendship.
19
00:00:51,852 --> 00:00:53,352
It's not quite what I expected.
20
00:00:53,354 --> 00:00:56,622
I'm the bad guy for giving
Somebody $50,000 extra.
21
00:00:56,624 --> 00:00:57,589
Come on.
22
00:00:57,591 --> 00:01:00,092
Rick ness does not like me.
23
00:01:00,094 --> 00:01:03,228
And parker, tony,
And rick reveal.
24
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,264
Next season's master plan.
25
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,169
I think there's
A pile of gold there.
26
00:01:10,171 --> 00:01:12,938
Be coming home with nuggets
The size of my fist.

29
00:01:37,965 --> 00:01:41,567
This season, rick ness
Took his biggest gamble.
30
00:01:41,569 --> 00:01:45,170
In the toughest year
Of his life.
31
00:01:45,172 --> 00:01:48,373
I talked to my mom about
Running my own operation.
32
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:51,210
Right up until she died,
And she was so excited for me.
33
00:01:51,212 --> 00:01:52,678
I felt like I just...
34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,379
If I didn't do it,
I was gonna let her down,
35
00:01:54,381 --> 00:01:56,849
And there's just no damn way
I was gonna do that.
36
00:01:56,851 --> 00:01:58,350
There's people that are saying,
37
00:01:58,352 --> 00:01:59,585
"I can't believe
He's doing this.
38
00:01:59,587 --> 00:02:00,919
His mom just died."
39
00:02:00,921 --> 00:02:04,723
I don't think anyone's opinion
Of that, besides rick's,
40
00:02:04,725 --> 00:02:08,060
Is any opinion
Anyone should listen to.
41
00:02:08,062 --> 00:02:10,496
You know, my ma had to go
Through a lot of treatments.
42
00:02:10,498 --> 00:02:12,064
In the last couple of years.
43
00:02:12,066 --> 00:02:13,999
She had a seizure at work.
44
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:19,738
It went downhill so fast
From there.
45
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:23,342
She fought pretty hard.
46
00:02:24,512 --> 00:02:29,448
It's tough looking at this
Because...
47
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:31,917
Since she died, I just...
48
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,152
I didn't really take any time.
49
00:02:33,154 --> 00:02:36,155
To think about
Her actually being gone.
50
00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:40,025
Rick went up there
Right after his mom died.
51
00:02:40,027 --> 00:02:41,493
He had to sweep that all
Under the rug.
52
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:44,830
And didn't have any time
To really think about.
53
00:02:44,832 --> 00:02:47,699
Or, you know,
Mourn the loss of his mother.
54
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:49,268
I hadn't had any time to plan,
55
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:50,802
And I wasn't prepared, and...
56
00:02:53,574 --> 00:02:55,507
It would have been
Really easy to just pack it in.
57
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:58,210
And wait a year.
58
00:02:58,212 --> 00:03:02,748
To stand a chance in his first
Year running a mining operation,
59
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:04,750
Rick needed a crack team.
60
00:03:08,889 --> 00:03:10,923
My crew... they were all
A bunch of hardworking guys.
61
00:03:10,925 --> 00:03:12,658
They had a lot
Of different skills,
62
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:14,793
But there was one thing
They did all have in common.
63
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:17,162
We knew jack About gold mining.
64
00:03:17,164 --> 00:03:18,564
Yay.
65
00:03:18,566 --> 00:03:21,066
Ryan, ben... they're coming
With me this year.
66
00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:23,101
To help me get A bunch of gold.
67
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:24,803
Well, we drank all his beer
Last night.
68
00:03:24,805 --> 00:03:28,874
And ate his food this morning,
So it's the least we can do.
69
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:31,310
We all live in the city, and
They've never had any experience.
70
00:03:31,312 --> 00:03:32,844
With anything
Like that up there.
71
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:35,514
You got to be kidding me.
You know, hiring your friends?
72
00:03:35,516 --> 00:03:38,584
Told my dad I'm gonna come home
Friendless and broke.
73
00:03:41,255 --> 00:03:44,189
Basically, rick did not listen
To any of my advice.
74
00:03:45,659 --> 00:03:48,060
First of all, I had to talk
My friends into coming with me.
75
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:51,163
I hope that they didn't find out
How unprepared that I was.
76
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:58,070
But rick's buddies.
77
00:03:58,072 --> 00:04:00,772
Came close to finding out
He was winging it.
78
00:04:00,774 --> 00:04:04,376
So as far as machinery,
What have we got up there?
79
00:04:04,378 --> 00:04:06,612
I don't have a wash plant
Lined up.
80
00:04:06,614 --> 00:04:10,382
Are there wash plants available
That you're aware of?
81
00:04:10,384 --> 00:04:11,917
Well, Not right off the bat.
82
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:14,486
That you can get away with.
You don't need that day one.
83
00:04:14,488 --> 00:04:16,722
But what they didn't know is
I didn't even have a dozer,
84
00:04:16,724 --> 00:04:18,457
And that, you do need day one.
85
00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:20,025
I absolutely wasn't ready.
86
00:04:20,027 --> 00:04:21,526
You know, I was winging it,
87
00:04:21,528 --> 00:04:23,061
And I don't have a problem
Admitting that,
88
00:04:23,063 --> 00:04:24,263
And quite honestly,
It scared me.
89
00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:25,831
Like, they started
Asking questions,
90
00:04:25,833 --> 00:04:30,002
And I was like, "Man, are they
Gonna find me out?" you know?
91
00:04:30,004 --> 00:04:33,272
And I just had to really hope
That they trusted in me.
92
00:04:35,409 --> 00:04:37,209
We got about a four-day drive.
93
00:04:41,849 --> 00:04:44,549
I've never had too much luck
With the bottle trick, man.
94
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:47,686
Last chance to duck out.
95
00:04:47,688 --> 00:04:48,920
Any takers?
96
00:04:48,922 --> 00:04:50,689
It was four days of thinking,
Like,
97
00:04:50,691 --> 00:04:52,591
"Man, I hope
They don't turn around."
98
00:04:58,299 --> 00:05:01,533
Rick and his crew finally
Made it to the klondike,
99
00:05:01,535 --> 00:05:03,802
But as unseen footage reveals,
100
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:07,873
Their new accommodation wasn't
Quite what they expected.
101
00:05:07,875 --> 00:05:10,108
Well, guys, they're smaller
Than a prison cell.
102
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:14,413
But welcome home.
103
00:05:14,415 --> 00:05:16,948
Somebody stole the tv.
104
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:22,321
You think you hate it now,
Wait till you sleep in it.
105
00:05:24,191 --> 00:05:25,924
I just hope the walls
Are thick enough
106
00:05:25,926 --> 00:05:28,360
'cause I snore like a bear.
107
00:05:28,362 --> 00:05:29,795
It's not luxury.
108
00:05:29,797 --> 00:05:31,930
You know, I mean,
It's not easy for anybody.
109
00:05:31,932 --> 00:05:33,999
You go from a comfortable life.
110
00:05:34,001 --> 00:05:36,368
To starting back over
When you're, like, 20,
111
00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:40,605
And it's just like a frat house,
But it was a frat trailer.
112
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:42,841
This is one step above camping.
113
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:46,712
It's definitely bare-bones...
114
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:48,880
Just enough to sustain life.
115
00:05:52,586 --> 00:05:54,186
Despite their doubts,
116
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:57,489
Rick's rookie buddies
Got straight to work...
117
00:05:57,491 --> 00:05:58,890
Where's drive on this?
118
00:05:58,892 --> 00:06:00,425
Put it in "D."
119
00:06:00,427 --> 00:06:02,027
it stand for.
120
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:04,596
I love the "D."
121
00:06:04,598 --> 00:06:07,099
And got a taste For gold mining.
122
00:06:07,101 --> 00:06:09,801
Hey, guys, check out
The rainbow to the right there.
123
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:11,837
Hopefully it means
We're gonna find.
124
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,373
A load of gold In this dirt.
125
00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:16,174
I took great care to make sure
126
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:17,909
I didn't bring any idiots
Up with me.
127
00:06:17,911 --> 00:06:21,980
Put your foot on the gas and
Blow the rainbow out your ass.
128
00:06:21,982 --> 00:06:24,282
I mean, they're idiots.
Don't get me wrong.
129
00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:34,793
In hindsight...
130
00:06:34,795 --> 00:06:36,962
I dealt with
A lot of things wrong.
131
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:41,266
This season, parker finally
Achieved a lifetime goal.
132
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:43,602
Of mining his own ground.
133
00:06:43,604 --> 00:06:44,736
It does feel good.
134
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:46,905
To not be mining tony's ground
This year.
135
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:49,408
We don't have a landlord
For the first time ever.
136
00:06:49,410 --> 00:06:51,610
Now we're on our own ground.
137
00:06:51,612 --> 00:06:53,345
It's like coming home.
138
00:06:53,347 --> 00:06:55,914
When we're stripping, you know,
We're probably spending
139
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:58,383
$30,000 a day.
140
00:06:58,385 --> 00:07:01,052
We've already spent
$1 million there.
141
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:03,522
We need to start
Making some money off of it.
142
00:07:03,524 --> 00:07:05,223
It takes time to open big cuts.
143
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:09,060
Got to get these plants
Loosened as quick as we can.
144
00:07:09,062 --> 00:07:10,762
The biggest problem
With the ground that we bought.
145
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:15,300
Is that we are
right next to tony beets.
146
00:07:15,302 --> 00:07:18,603
Parker's only source of water,
The indian river,
147
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:22,507
Lies on the far side
Of tony's ground.
148
00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:25,610
Every gallon of water
Parker needs to sluice,
149
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:28,880
And every gallon
He discharges from his plant.
150
00:07:28,882 --> 00:07:32,617
Will have to run
Right over tony's claim.
151
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:35,487
With it being tony,
It makes us quite vulnerable,
152
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:38,290
And the thing about tony beets
Is he just don't give a.
153
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:41,560
Soon, tony makes his move.
154
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:47,098
So I'm not gonna get
Your permission.
155
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:48,867
To pull water
From your property.
156
00:07:51,338 --> 00:07:55,807
Tony forced parker to apply
For his own water license,
157
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:59,444
A process that could take
Over six months.
158
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:02,047
This really sounds like you're
Gonna keep us from mining.
159
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:06,618
If I go through That process,
160
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:08,386
We won't be mining This season.
161
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:11,189
Yeah, it was a kick in the nuts.
162
00:08:11,191 --> 00:08:14,059
Yeah.
163
00:08:14,061 --> 00:08:17,729
Parker consults
His oldest ally, chris doumitt.
164
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,234
He's about to lose
Over a million bucks.
165
00:08:22,236 --> 00:08:25,403
Of revenue from us,
Which is pure profit,
166
00:08:25,405 --> 00:08:27,906
By us not mining his ground.
167
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:31,543
That's a big blow to him,
And I think that's...
168
00:08:31,545 --> 00:08:34,012
He's gonna fight you
Tooth and nail.
169
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:35,580
He does not want me
Mining there.
170
00:08:35,582 --> 00:08:37,849
He does not want me
On that property.
171
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:41,653
He wants to be able
To control our operation.
172
00:08:41,655 --> 00:08:44,289
By being our landlord,
And he wants to get the money.
173
00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:46,858
As a result of that
In the royalties.
174
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,394
I spent 3 million bucks this
Winter that I didn't have.
175
00:08:49,396 --> 00:08:51,663
- I didn't have that money.
- Like, we're.
176
00:08:51,665 --> 00:08:53,031
We're leveraged.
177
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:55,867
Going back to tony's ground,
Back to the last cut...
178
00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:57,602
It's about survival.
179
00:08:57,604 --> 00:09:01,139
You know, just got to keep
The business alive.
180
00:09:10,484 --> 00:09:14,019
If you don't treat tony
With respect,
181
00:09:14,021 --> 00:09:18,690
By all means, do not expect him
To respect you.
182
00:09:25,566 --> 00:09:29,601
Unseen footage reveals
Tony's side of the story.
183
00:09:29,603 --> 00:09:32,504
And the real reasons
For shutting parker down.
184
00:09:48,422 --> 00:09:50,622
They got to drive
This way to save five seconds?
185
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:51,890
Yeah.
186
00:10:15,716 --> 00:10:17,115
Yeah.
187
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,471
'Cause he dug Up to the line.
188
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:42,674
Then he threw all the
On our side.
189
00:10:42,676 --> 00:10:45,510
Then parker sent
Brennan to drain water.
190
00:10:45,512 --> 00:10:47,712
Onto their neighbor's property,
191
00:10:47,714 --> 00:10:50,015
And tony reached
His breaking point.
192
00:10:58,358 --> 00:11:01,192
I'm confused with
Why he would say.
193
00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:03,828
We did it somewhere
Where we didn't agree on.
194
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:05,764
Because that's where
He told us to do it.
195
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:16,307
If tony's a bear, and parker's
Poking him with a stick,
196
00:11:16,309 --> 00:11:18,443
What kind of reaction
Do you expect to get?
197
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:26,584
Tony will have a million reasons.
198
00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:31,089
For why he made
The decisions he made.
199
00:11:31,091 --> 00:11:33,358
Because you tell me.
200
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,327
What is a bigger thing
In somebody's mind...
201
00:11:36,329 --> 00:11:38,063
All of this little bull,
202
00:11:38,065 --> 00:11:42,901
Or $1 million-plus in royalties
That you're missing out on?
203
00:11:47,474 --> 00:11:48,940
That's just tony saying that.
204
00:11:48,942 --> 00:11:51,843
Because that is the way
For him to stay in control.
205
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:54,079
He's not an honest person,
206
00:11:54,081 --> 00:11:57,749
And that, I have
A serious issue with.
207
00:11:57,751 --> 00:11:59,050
Coming up...
208
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:00,685
Nothing's ever easy around here.
209
00:12:00,687 --> 00:12:03,922
How this season took
Rick ness to the edge...
210
00:12:03,924 --> 00:12:05,090
I wasn't sleeping good.
211
00:12:05,092 --> 00:12:06,558
I was probably drinking
Too much.
212
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,093
I worry about him.
213
00:12:08,095 --> 00:12:09,894
You don't have to drink
A case of beer every night.
214
00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:11,496
Like, he was calling it
Like it was.
215
00:12:11,498 --> 00:12:15,100
And how former friends
Were at each other's throats.
216
00:12:15,102 --> 00:12:18,703
For you to be as pissy as
You are about a $50,000 bonus...
217
00:12:18,705 --> 00:12:20,638
Like, wait, really?
218
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,774
Rick ness does not like me.
219
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:40,925
Early in the season,
220
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:45,630
Rick's rookie crew
Struggled with new equipment.
221
00:12:45,632 --> 00:12:47,799
Nothing's ever easy around here.
222
00:12:49,636 --> 00:12:51,703
I think I got a hole
In the radiator.
223
00:12:51,705 --> 00:12:54,005
These guys got zero...
224
00:12:54,007 --> 00:12:57,342
And I mean zero...
Experience running equipment,
225
00:12:57,344 --> 00:12:59,043
Mining, or anything,
226
00:12:59,045 --> 00:13:01,679
You know, that has
Anything to do with that.
227
00:13:01,681 --> 00:13:04,582
But rick was
Struggling even more.
228
00:13:04,584 --> 00:13:06,918
In his new job as mine boss.
229
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,087
I can't think of anything
Else to keep these guys busy,
230
00:13:09,089 --> 00:13:12,724
And I need some direction.
231
00:13:12,726 --> 00:13:15,426
There's certainly a lack
Of planning on my part.
232
00:13:17,531 --> 00:13:22,901
This was...
Such a stressful season.
233
00:13:22,903 --> 00:13:24,602
And such an emotional
Roller coaster,
234
00:13:24,604 --> 00:13:26,638
And I didn't deal with
Everything in the right way.
235
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,573
There's no doubt about that.
236
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:31,176
You need someone that knows
What they're looking at.
237
00:13:31,178 --> 00:13:33,411
And kind of have a game plan.
238
00:13:33,413 --> 00:13:34,813
Of going about it,
239
00:13:34,815 --> 00:13:36,281
More than just shoveling,
240
00:13:36,283 --> 00:13:37,782
Throwing it over a hill.
241
00:13:41,188 --> 00:13:43,087
After buying the wash plant,
242
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:45,857
Rick thought
He'd turned a corner.
243
00:13:45,859 --> 00:13:47,992
Finally starting to
Win these guys over...
244
00:13:49,863 --> 00:13:51,596
Hit the bypass.
245
00:13:53,567 --> 00:13:54,699
Hit the bypass!
246
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:56,267
Then disaster.
247
00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:59,871
Our sluice box is laying down
In the bottom of the hill.
248
00:13:59,873 --> 00:14:01,239
We won't be Sluicing any gold.
249
00:14:01,241 --> 00:14:02,674
If that thing
Falls down the hill.
250
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:05,944
Pack our stuff, Head home broke.
251
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:09,547
I think you bought somebody
Else's nightmare, rick.
252
00:14:09,549 --> 00:14:11,516
- . Really?
- Yeah.
253
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:14,018
It, you know, was a disaster,
And it...
254
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,921
I think everybody sunk
Even lower after that.
255
00:14:16,923 --> 00:14:19,958
His anxiety levels were
Super high, and he was just,
256
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,695
You know, stressing...
Unbelievably stressing over it.
257
00:14:23,697 --> 00:14:26,097
That took its toll, like,
You know, on my health even.
258
00:14:26,099 --> 00:14:27,265
You know,
I wasn't sleeping good.
259
00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:29,167
I was probably drinking
Too much.
260
00:14:29,169 --> 00:14:30,735
I worry about him.
261
00:14:30,737 --> 00:14:33,771
You don't have to drink a case
Of beer every night, right?
262
00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:35,807
Being in the headspace
That I was,
263
00:14:35,809 --> 00:14:38,042
It was the toughest
Challenge of my life.
264
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:41,679
Rick was struggling
At that point,
265
00:14:41,681 --> 00:14:44,983
So I went up there,
Gave him a hand.
266
00:14:44,985 --> 00:14:47,986
Here he comes... Big rick.
267
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:50,822
Big rick in the house!
268
00:14:50,824 --> 00:14:52,757
Rick's dad was so worried,
269
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:55,593
He took direct action.
270
00:14:55,595 --> 00:15:00,231
So what do you guys think
Of rick as your boss?
271
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,833
I don't like it.
272
00:15:03,870 --> 00:15:05,169
I'm serious.
273
00:15:05,171 --> 00:15:06,704
Why?
274
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:08,072
Well, I think that he...
275
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:11,342
He's got, like, huge potential,
But I feel like this.
276
00:15:11,344 --> 00:15:13,378
Is his first year
Running this business,
277
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:15,647
And he needs to
Step it up a bit more.
278
00:15:15,649 --> 00:15:17,248
There's a lot at stake.
279
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,784
So he's got a lot more to worry
About than just being a foreman.
280
00:15:19,786 --> 00:15:21,753
- Well, exactly.
- I agree with karla.
281
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:25,957
He could be a little more
Hard-nosed, and...
282
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:27,659
But it's got to be kind of
Tough with his buddies.
283
00:15:27,661 --> 00:15:30,161
Yeah, with your buddies, how do
You tell them, like, "Hey"...
284
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:31,496
How do you lay The hammer down?
285
00:15:31,498 --> 00:15:34,432
That was the question
I asked him.
286
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:36,734
You know, I asked him if he was
Making the right decision.
287
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:39,604
Hiring a bunch of his friends
To work for him.
288
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:42,740
Because, in my position,
I do my best.
289
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:45,643
Not to have a friendly
Relationship with my employees.
290
00:15:45,645 --> 00:15:47,645
Because it's such
A conflict of interest.
291
00:15:47,647 --> 00:15:48,713
Yes.
292
00:15:48,715 --> 00:15:50,014
You know, it makes it
Very difficult.
293
00:15:50,016 --> 00:15:52,216
When you have to
Routinely tell them.
294
00:15:52,218 --> 00:15:54,018
What to do in their job
And keep after them.
295
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:55,420
It's kind of hard To be a friend.
296
00:15:55,422 --> 00:15:56,955
With someone like that,
You know?
297
00:15:56,957 --> 00:15:59,190
That's why I thought he was
Gonna end up alienating.
298
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:01,059
All you guys, Trying, you know,
299
00:16:01,061 --> 00:16:03,061
To be the hard-nosed,
Hard-ass boss on you,
300
00:16:03,063 --> 00:16:04,362
And you guys are Gonna be like,
301
00:16:04,364 --> 00:16:06,731
"you.
I'm out of here." you know?
302
00:16:06,733 --> 00:16:08,499
I'd almost prefer it Like that.
303
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:10,802
When big rick got there,
We were saying stuff to him.
304
00:16:10,804 --> 00:16:13,705
Hoping, you know,
He'd pass it on to rick.
305
00:16:13,707 --> 00:16:18,142
Nothing about being in business
Is easy... nothing.
306
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:19,243
People don't realize that.
307
00:16:19,245 --> 00:16:22,680
From the outside so much,
You know?
308
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:25,183
He threw himself
In both feet first.
309
00:16:25,185 --> 00:16:28,987
He definitely bit off a little
More than he could chew.
310
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:30,888
I understand those guys
Grumbling a little bit.
311
00:16:30,890 --> 00:16:31,923
Halfway through the season.
312
00:16:31,925 --> 00:16:34,692
They were worried.
They were tired.
313
00:16:34,694 --> 00:16:37,462
You know, they were starting
To wonder what their goal was,
314
00:16:37,464 --> 00:16:38,796
Where this thing was headed.
315
00:16:38,798 --> 00:16:40,331
Like, he was calling it
Like it was.
316
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:41,866
What else would I expect?
317
00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:43,267
A little pat on the bottom,
318
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:44,736
Like, "Sure, son,
I'm sure you'll be fine"?
319
00:16:44,738 --> 00:16:47,205
No. Hell no. That's not my dad.
320
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:49,707
You know, he told me exactly
What I needed to hear, you know?
321
00:16:49,709 --> 00:16:52,543
I said you just got to have
A plan laid out there for them.
322
00:16:52,545 --> 00:16:54,245
So that they know what
They're gonna be doing,
323
00:16:54,247 --> 00:16:56,080
So every day
That they're in the field,
324
00:16:56,082 --> 00:16:59,350
They have a goal to meet.
325
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,986
I just want to run through
Some things with you guys.
326
00:17:01,988 --> 00:17:04,956
The loader's gonna be loading it
From this end, right?
327
00:17:04,958 --> 00:17:07,091
You guys go ahead now,
And you can keep ripping,
328
00:17:07,093 --> 00:17:09,427
And then you guys can continue.
329
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:11,129
Moving dirt out there
For the morning.
330
00:17:11,131 --> 00:17:14,332
He saw the problem,
Delegated authority.
331
00:17:14,334 --> 00:17:16,534
"You do this, you do this,
You do this,
332
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:19,637
And then we'll all meet together
And put it together at the end,".
333
00:17:19,639 --> 00:17:25,043
So kind of laid out
The game plan.
334
00:17:25,045 --> 00:17:27,045
One of the biggest reasons
I went up there...
335
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:28,446
Just to try to help relieve him.
336
00:17:28,448 --> 00:17:30,581
A little bit of that stress,
You know,
337
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:33,684
And I think a big weight
Was lifted off his shoulders.
338
00:17:35,755 --> 00:17:38,089
I don't know that I can
Get it any closer.
339
00:17:38,091 --> 00:17:39,490
Put it in the back
Of your bucket, just...
340
00:17:39,492 --> 00:17:40,725
That's what I did.
341
00:17:40,727 --> 00:17:43,394
Well, you didn't get it
Close enough.
342
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:45,029
Go home!
343
00:17:48,134 --> 00:17:50,301
Looks good. He looks good.
344
00:17:50,303 --> 00:17:52,070
Did we Anything up?
345
00:17:52,072 --> 00:17:53,671
You're all right.
It didn't hurt nothing.
346
00:17:53,673 --> 00:17:55,873
You can only come in here
When I'm the most stressed.
347
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:57,842
Usually, I'm way laid-back.
348
00:18:00,647 --> 00:18:02,447
Well, maybe I relieve
That stress a little for you.
349
00:18:02,449 --> 00:18:03,314
There you go.
350
00:18:03,316 --> 00:18:04,549
There it is.
351
00:18:04,551 --> 00:18:07,351
Cool. Happy to help.
352
00:18:07,353 --> 00:18:08,820
Happy to have you here.
353
00:18:08,822 --> 00:18:10,788
I tell you what... if you put us
Together for an entire
354
00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:12,223
season, I'd probably
Want to kill him.
355
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:13,624
By the end Of the year.
356
00:18:19,299 --> 00:18:20,965
With his dad's help,
357
00:18:20,967 --> 00:18:25,236
Rick managed to
Turn his season around.
358
00:18:25,238 --> 00:18:26,838
- Holy cow.
- Look at that.
359
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,306
- Nice!
- We're sluicing.
360
00:18:28,308 --> 00:18:29,707
We're getting gold,
And I can tell that the crew.
361
00:18:29,709 --> 00:18:31,375
Is starting to believe in me.
362
00:18:31,377 --> 00:18:33,111
- That's awesome.
- Wow.
363
00:18:33,113 --> 00:18:35,046
- Yeah!
- Excellent!
364
00:18:35,048 --> 00:18:36,247
- All right.
- Sweet!
365
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:38,449
You know, I want to
Thank my dad. He came in.
366
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:39,617
I was just trying
To help you guys out.
367
00:18:39,619 --> 00:18:40,551
I appreciate you
Having me up here.
368
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:41,552
- Yeah.
- I appreciate it, man.
369
00:18:41,554 --> 00:18:42,753
- Thanks, dad. Yep.
- Thank you,
370
00:18:42,755 --> 00:18:44,589
Yeah, big rick! Thank you.
371
00:18:44,591 --> 00:18:47,158
- Big rick! Yeah!
- My pleasure.
372
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,626
This is why we came here,
373
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,695
And it's almost like
Wiping the slate clean.
374
00:18:50,697 --> 00:18:52,230
Now all your main focus.
375
00:18:52,232 --> 00:18:55,032
Is on trying to get
As much gold as you can.
376
00:18:55,034 --> 00:18:56,634
That's why you're up there.
377
00:18:56,636 --> 00:18:58,736
You know, we questioned Your.
378
00:18:58,738 --> 00:19:02,140
Leadership there for a while,
And this really happened.
379
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:04,675
I did lose my mom
Before the season started,
380
00:19:04,677 --> 00:19:07,879
But, you know, having my dad
There... it really was special.
381
00:19:07,881 --> 00:19:11,182
I definitely took it
A lot less for granted.
382
00:19:11,184 --> 00:19:13,284
I'm proud that I was able
To bring my dad into it.
383
00:19:13,286 --> 00:19:16,921
Like, that's not something
That a whole lot of sons can do.
384
00:19:16,923 --> 00:19:20,591
I can't be the boss
And the friend, you know?
385
00:19:20,593 --> 00:19:23,528
However, rick has proved
That he can be.
386
00:19:23,530 --> 00:19:25,096
I made a lot of mistakes
This year,
387
00:19:25,098 --> 00:19:27,698
And I know I could have been
A better boss,
388
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:30,067
But I started the season
With a bunch of friends,
389
00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:32,670
And at the end of it
We're still all friends,
390
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:34,939
And I'm super proud
Of what we all did.
391
00:19:50,256 --> 00:19:54,258
If you're loyal to me,
I will be loyal to you.
392
00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:57,395
For six summers, Parker and rick.
393
00:19:57,397 --> 00:20:00,064
Have lived and worked
Side by side.
394
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:01,132
How many loads Are you at?
395
00:20:01,134 --> 00:20:03,834
- 70.
- Nice job.
396
00:20:03,836 --> 00:20:05,503
All right.
We good to go, ace ventura?
397
00:20:05,505 --> 00:20:07,305
- Yeah.
- Turn this on.
398
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:08,539
I owe parker a lot.
399
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:10,107
I'm thankful for a lot
That parker did.
400
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:11,375
He gave me a lot of shots.
401
00:20:11,377 --> 00:20:12,944
I learned how to gold mine
With parker.
402
00:20:12,946 --> 00:20:15,046
We went a long ways together,
403
00:20:15,048 --> 00:20:19,483
And I feel like
I've learned a lot from him.
404
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:20,885
And benefited a lot from him.
405
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:23,721
Rick, you've been
One hell of a leader.
406
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:25,089
Appreciate it, buddy.
407
00:20:25,091 --> 00:20:28,526
But this season,
They went their separate ways.
408
00:20:28,528 --> 00:20:30,795
Thanks, buddy. Let's get it.
409
00:20:30,797 --> 00:20:32,063
Parker and I's friendship...
410
00:20:32,065 --> 00:20:34,065
It's always been
A little volatile,
411
00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:36,167
A little confusing,
412
00:20:36,169 --> 00:20:37,868
But, you know, going out
On my own this season,
413
00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:39,270
It just got worse.
414
00:20:41,674 --> 00:20:44,075
Do you think we are?
415
00:20:44,077 --> 00:20:46,577
Early in the season,
Rick met parker.
416
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:48,913
To collect last year's bonus.
417
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:50,815
I didn't want to ask,
"Hey, where's my bonus?"
418
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:52,650
I let it go. I let it go.
I let it go.
419
00:20:52,652 --> 00:20:54,085
But finally,
I didn't have a choice.
420
00:20:54,087 --> 00:20:55,620
I needed that money.
421
00:20:55,622 --> 00:20:56,954
The thing is, you know,
422
00:20:56,956 --> 00:20:58,990
It's less than you made
The year before,
423
00:20:58,992 --> 00:21:00,558
And that's a function Of just
424
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,593
I'm spread so Thin right now.
425
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:06,864
I spent $2.8 million
On rebuilding.
426
00:21:06,866 --> 00:21:09,233
And buying new dozers.
427
00:21:09,235 --> 00:21:11,869
I brought your check.
428
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:13,304
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.
429
00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:15,473
I'll just need an invoice.
430
00:21:15,475 --> 00:21:17,108
It's not quite what I expected.
431
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:21,579
I was hoping for $80,000,
And I got about $52,000.
432
00:21:21,581 --> 00:21:24,715
My bonus was always
Performance-based,
433
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:27,918
And when I performed well
And the company performed well,
434
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,253
That went up.
435
00:21:29,255 --> 00:21:33,090
So best season ever...
Like, wait, really?
436
00:21:33,092 --> 00:21:35,893
Like, come on. Come on.
437
00:21:35,895 --> 00:21:39,630
Rick quit. Right?
438
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:42,199
I don't think too many people
That quit a job expect a bonus.
439
00:21:42,201 --> 00:21:44,435
The day that he came over
To give me that bonus.
440
00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:45,803
Was also the day he told me.
441
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:49,607
That he had just spent
Like $50,000 on two jet boats.
442
00:21:53,413 --> 00:21:56,113
Mid-season,
Rick visited scribner.
443
00:21:56,115 --> 00:21:58,749
To pick up a pump
From parker's yard.
444
00:22:01,187 --> 00:22:02,520
No parker around today?
445
00:22:02,522 --> 00:22:04,989
No, he had to go to town.
He had a meeting.
446
00:22:04,991 --> 00:22:07,024
Perfect.
That makes this real simple.
447
00:22:07,026 --> 00:22:10,161
So we had a pump
That we had leased,
448
00:22:10,163 --> 00:22:13,064
And the lease was up.
449
00:22:13,066 --> 00:22:15,099
I knew that that pump
Had been there for a while.
450
00:22:15,101 --> 00:22:17,335
I knew that
Parker wasn't using it,
451
00:22:17,337 --> 00:22:18,602
And I also knew the owner,
452
00:22:18,604 --> 00:22:21,872
So I contacted them,
And they said, "Go get it."
453
00:22:21,874 --> 00:22:24,375
I e-mailed parker and let him
Know I was coming to get it.
454
00:22:24,377 --> 00:22:25,843
I got a rock truck coming here,
455
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:29,680
And I'm just gonna load it
In the back of that.
456
00:22:29,682 --> 00:22:32,049
I mean, common courtesy
Among people up here.
457
00:22:32,051 --> 00:22:33,384
Is if there's a machine
In the yard,
458
00:22:33,386 --> 00:22:36,520
You can use it
To load something with.
459
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:37,955
I don't know if he feels
The same way,
460
00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:43,627
But I would hope he wouldn't
Be petty about things.
461
00:22:43,629 --> 00:22:45,763
He's already taken
The batteries out of it.
462
00:22:45,765 --> 00:22:47,798
That's nice.
463
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,668
I guess he is gonna be petty.
464
00:22:50,670 --> 00:22:52,002
Everything burns fuel
Around here,
465
00:22:52,004 --> 00:22:53,170
And the last thing
You want to do.
466
00:22:53,172 --> 00:22:54,739
Is leave a bunch of fuel
In something.
467
00:22:54,741 --> 00:23:00,578
You know, for parker, he's tired
Of being the checkbook.
468
00:23:00,580 --> 00:23:02,079
Yeah, I've known mitch
For years.
469
00:23:02,081 --> 00:23:05,483
You know, him and I have
Always gotten along great.
470
00:23:05,485 --> 00:23:08,119
That particular situation,
It was... it was awkward.
471
00:23:08,121 --> 00:23:10,054
It just felt weird.
472
00:23:10,056 --> 00:23:12,656
- Come to steal our pump?
- Yeah, I have.
473
00:23:12,658 --> 00:23:14,425
It's not your pump.
No, it's not my pump.
474
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:15,993
It's not parker's either.
475
00:23:15,995 --> 00:23:17,361
I guess he ain't too happy
About it, though.
476
00:23:17,363 --> 00:23:18,696
I don't think so.
477
00:23:18,698 --> 00:23:20,865
I felt slighted in that
He didn't ask us.
478
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:22,133
If we were using it.
479
00:23:22,135 --> 00:23:26,537
What if it was running
The wash plant? Right?
480
00:23:26,539 --> 00:23:28,539
Would he have shown up and
Unhooked it from our wash plant.
481
00:23:28,541 --> 00:23:29,907
And shut
Our whole operation down.
482
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:32,076
And put it on a truck
And driven it away?
483
00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:36,547
The last piece of the puzzle
That I need to get sluicing,
484
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:38,883
So I got to get it over
To my site in one piece,
485
00:23:38,885 --> 00:23:41,252
And put the pipe up to it,
486
00:23:41,254 --> 00:23:44,889
And bingo-bango, We're running.
487
00:23:44,891 --> 00:23:47,391
Cool. See you at the other end.
488
00:23:47,393 --> 00:23:48,759
Karla left with the pump,
489
00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:50,127
But I should have just left
At the same time.
490
00:23:50,129 --> 00:23:52,062
I didn't.
I ended up sticking around.
491
00:23:52,064 --> 00:23:54,131
And talking with
Some of the guys,
492
00:23:54,133 --> 00:23:56,167
And, you know, Parker showed up.
493
00:23:58,805 --> 00:24:02,473
Parker felt very disrespected.
494
00:24:02,475 --> 00:24:06,010
"They just come in, grab a pump
Out of my yard, and go?
495
00:24:06,012 --> 00:24:09,113
That's it? You don't even
See me face-to-face?"
496
00:24:10,516 --> 00:24:13,150
Two things I want to talk about.
497
00:24:13,152 --> 00:24:17,154
To not even ask, like,
What our plans were.
498
00:24:17,156 --> 00:24:21,192
For that pump
Or what our situation was...
499
00:24:21,194 --> 00:24:25,296
It seems quite... Unnecessary.
500
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:32,336
But even just the way
You e-mailed me, right?
501
00:24:32,338 --> 00:24:34,472
You didn't even ask,
"What are your plans for it?
502
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:35,906
What's the situation?"
503
00:24:35,908 --> 00:24:37,341
You just told me that
You're coming to take it.
504
00:24:37,343 --> 00:24:40,845
The body language
And just the movement.
505
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:42,480
That he gets into
In those situation,
506
00:24:42,482 --> 00:24:45,349
And, like, tying his boots
On the tire of my truck...
507
00:24:45,351 --> 00:24:47,651
It's just like,
"Get off my truck."
508
00:24:52,091 --> 00:24:53,691
I mean, if you're gonna have
An issue with me.
509
00:24:53,693 --> 00:24:55,426
And deal with things
The way that pump is,
510
00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:59,129
Don't come Asking for from me.
511
00:24:59,131 --> 00:25:00,397
And if you're gonna have
An issue with me,
512
00:25:00,399 --> 00:25:01,499
And it's something I can rectify.
513
00:25:01,501 --> 00:25:03,141
And something I can address,
Then tell me.
514
00:25:06,339 --> 00:25:07,905
Do you think
That's unreasonable?
515
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,854
But you never even asked me
What my plan was for it.
516
00:25:25,525 --> 00:25:26,624
That's... irregardless.
517
00:25:26,626 --> 00:25:29,360
We've had it
For four, five years.
518
00:25:29,362 --> 00:25:31,095
And you're right.
It's not my pump,
519
00:25:31,097 --> 00:25:33,531
And you decided to
Deal with it as you did...
520
00:25:33,533 --> 00:25:35,266
Parker's going on and on
About this pump.
521
00:25:35,268 --> 00:25:37,401
And how I handled
All this wrong,
522
00:25:37,403 --> 00:25:39,336
But I knew there was
Something else,
523
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:41,605
And then he dropped it on me.
524
00:25:41,607 --> 00:25:43,140
You've gotten A lot out of this,
525
00:25:43,142 --> 00:25:47,244
And for you to be as pissy as
You are about a $50,000 bonus.
526
00:25:47,246 --> 00:25:48,512
Just seems...
527
00:25:48,514 --> 00:25:50,247
You didn't even thank me.
528
00:25:55,621 --> 00:26:00,157
Well, I've heard what you've
Said to other people, so...
529
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:01,959
All right?
530
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:10,067
I'm the bad guy for giving
Somebody $50,000 extra.
531
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:12,403
Figure that one out.
532
00:26:12,405 --> 00:26:14,638
I know you have some issues
With me, rick.
533
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,773
There's a lot of them,
534
00:26:15,775 --> 00:26:19,176
And you keep them pent up
Inside you,
535
00:26:19,178 --> 00:26:24,548
And that irritates me
Probably more than anything.
536
00:26:24,550 --> 00:26:26,450
Because I really don't...
537
00:26:26,452 --> 00:26:30,087
You say that you never know
Where you stand with me?
538
00:26:30,089 --> 00:26:31,522
Well, I try to...
539
00:26:31,524 --> 00:26:32,890
When I've got an issue
With somebody,
540
00:26:32,892 --> 00:26:36,260
I tell them, Normally, you know?
541
00:26:36,262 --> 00:26:37,728
Every time I've had
An issue with you,
542
00:26:37,730 --> 00:26:39,263
I've been pretty Up-front.
543
00:26:39,265 --> 00:26:41,098
Parker's saying,
"Well, I'm always up-front,
544
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,666
And I always tell you
How it is."
545
00:26:42,668 --> 00:26:47,071
Well, he's had a pretty comfy
Position of being in charge.
546
00:26:47,073 --> 00:26:48,372
And being able to do that,
You know?
547
00:26:48,374 --> 00:26:50,140
And it's just not
Like that anymore.
548
00:26:50,142 --> 00:26:53,077
I think parker believed
That rick and he.
549
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:54,979
Were very close friends.
550
00:26:54,981 --> 00:26:57,514
I just don't think
Rick felt the same way.
551
00:27:03,322 --> 00:27:06,690
Rick ness does not like me,
552
00:27:06,692 --> 00:27:10,327
And the idea
That it wasn't enough.
553
00:27:10,329 --> 00:27:12,830
When it was more than
The average salary.
554
00:27:12,832 --> 00:27:17,368
That people get in a year
Just is outrageous to me.
555
00:27:19,739 --> 00:27:22,406
Coming up...
556
00:27:22,408 --> 00:27:23,974
Parker's crisis...
557
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:27,211
I don't why I do This anymore.
558
00:27:27,213 --> 00:27:30,948
Parker was totally
Crushed at what happened.
559
00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:34,952
And the miners reveal
Their plans for next season.
560
00:27:51,103 --> 00:27:55,939
A new edition to the beets' team
This season... juan ibarra.
561
00:27:55,941 --> 00:27:57,841
Definitely a change of pace
From working with the hoffmans,
562
00:27:57,843 --> 00:27:59,410
For sure.
563
00:27:59,412 --> 00:28:00,678
Easy.
564
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,047
Looking good, todd,
Looking good.
565
00:28:03,049 --> 00:28:05,649
Nice job.
566
00:28:05,651 --> 00:28:08,786
Nailed it! Fire it up!
567
00:28:08,788 --> 00:28:11,255
Go, baby, go, go, go, go!
568
00:28:11,257 --> 00:28:13,524
I drive in, and there's
Broken equipment everywhere,
569
00:28:13,526 --> 00:28:14,625
And I'm thinking
To myself, like,
570
00:28:14,627 --> 00:28:16,160
"Man, what did
I get myself into?"
571
00:28:18,698 --> 00:28:20,030
Let's do it.
572
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,532
Honestly, he has enough
Broken equipment there.
573
00:28:21,534 --> 00:28:23,300
To keep six or seven mechanics
Working all season,
574
00:28:23,302 --> 00:28:25,602
And, unfortunately,
It was just myself.
575
00:28:31,177 --> 00:28:33,343
This might be the end
Of the season for the pump.
576
00:28:33,345 --> 00:28:35,746
I'm really worried about it.
577
00:28:35,748 --> 00:28:38,248
He just had me doing some of
The just grunt work...
578
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:41,018
You know, grunt mechanical work
That any guy could have done.
579
00:28:45,825 --> 00:28:48,459
I didn't drive 3,200 miles
To come change fricking filters.
580
00:28:48,461 --> 00:28:50,828
On equipment.
581
00:28:50,830 --> 00:28:52,830
I kind of felt like maybe
This is a test.
582
00:28:52,832 --> 00:28:57,534
Is he testing me to see if
I'm gonna be able to hack it?
583
00:28:57,536 --> 00:28:59,703
But juan quickly proved.
584
00:28:59,705 --> 00:29:02,039
He was way more than a plumber.
585
00:29:02,041 --> 00:29:04,007
Tony... he goes and shows me
A problem with dredge one,
586
00:29:04,009 --> 00:29:05,876
And the whole damn thing
Is sunk,
587
00:29:05,878 --> 00:29:08,178
So it was a little bit more
Than just a little problem.
588
00:29:09,415 --> 00:29:11,782
What we should do is
Just build a little lid.
589
00:29:11,784 --> 00:29:14,184
And put two holes in it and then
Have a hole for breathing.
590
00:29:14,186 --> 00:29:15,719
And then a hole
For sucking out of.
591
00:29:15,721 --> 00:29:17,521
I figured out, "Hey, let's
Just build some plates."
592
00:29:17,523 --> 00:29:18,856
Let's build a cover."
593
00:29:18,858 --> 00:29:20,524
You know, the cover is gonna
Cover the hole,
594
00:29:20,526 --> 00:29:23,026
And then we can actually
Draw the water out,
595
00:29:23,028 --> 00:29:25,162
And control what's going back
Into the tank.
596
00:29:32,571 --> 00:29:35,072
Perfect.
597
00:29:35,074 --> 00:29:37,741
Hopefully that does it, Kevin.
598
00:29:37,743 --> 00:29:40,611
It's perfect for what
It needs to do.
599
00:29:40,613 --> 00:29:42,079
We're back in business!
600
00:29:58,898 --> 00:30:00,464
I think that was kind of
The turning point,
601
00:30:00,466 --> 00:30:01,899
And I think that's when
He really realized.
602
00:30:01,901 --> 00:30:03,934
That juan's
A little more valuable.
603
00:30:03,936 --> 00:30:05,869
Than just pulling wrenches.
604
00:30:16,282 --> 00:30:21,251
Booster cables... can you
Hook them up, please?
605
00:30:21,253 --> 00:30:22,519
We'll get those beams
Out of the way,
606
00:30:22,521 --> 00:30:24,721
And we should be able
To slide it right in.
607
00:30:32,198 --> 00:30:34,331
All in all,
I had a great season,
608
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:37,734
But still, the toughest thing.
609
00:30:37,736 --> 00:30:39,937
Was not being there
With my family.
610
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,840
But juan did have a visit.
611
00:30:42,842 --> 00:30:46,143
From wife andrea and his kids.
612
00:30:46,145 --> 00:30:49,546
Mommy got The truck dirty?
613
00:30:49,548 --> 00:30:51,215
Yeah.
614
00:30:51,217 --> 00:30:52,516
That was definitely
The highlight of the season...
615
00:30:52,518 --> 00:30:54,351
Seeing my son.
616
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,019
He actually started walking
In the trailer,
617
00:30:56,021 --> 00:30:57,054
So that was kind of nice.
618
00:30:57,056 --> 00:30:58,555
I got to see his first steps.
619
00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:00,858
So what does daddy Work on?
620
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:02,059
Ex-tavator.
621
00:31:02,061 --> 00:31:04,161
Daddy works On excavators?
622
00:31:04,163 --> 00:31:05,863
- Yeah.
- You little cutie.
623
00:31:09,435 --> 00:31:13,670
I don't really act different
Around the camera, you know.
624
00:31:13,672 --> 00:31:18,876
I'm quite...
I'm parker schnabel, on or off.
625
00:31:18,878 --> 00:31:20,911
Everybody needs to move!
626
00:31:20,913 --> 00:31:23,814
Back, anna, back.
Come on, come on.
627
00:31:23,816 --> 00:31:28,051
You know, this spring
There was a lot of stress.
628
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,553
On my plate, I suppose.
629
00:31:29,555 --> 00:31:31,822
You know, we'd spent a huge
Amount of money over the winter,
630
00:31:31,824 --> 00:31:33,690
And then I lost our foreman,
631
00:31:33,692 --> 00:31:34,892
And at the same time
As all that,
632
00:31:34,894 --> 00:31:37,594
We're trying to move
Our operation,
633
00:31:37,596 --> 00:31:40,430
And then tony beets our season.
634
00:31:40,432 --> 00:31:42,366
There's a pile of gold
Down here.
635
00:31:42,368 --> 00:31:45,035
Without tony playing ball,
We ain't getting a flake of it.
636
00:31:45,037 --> 00:31:47,905
Ashley was a big loss,
637
00:31:47,907 --> 00:31:51,742
And then getting thrown off our
Own ground is a huge setback.
638
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:56,380
But after a speedboat
Accident left his mechanic,
639
00:31:56,382 --> 00:31:59,816
Mitch blaschke, with
A career-threatening injury,
640
00:31:59,818 --> 00:32:02,185
Parker hit rock bottom.
641
00:32:05,991 --> 00:32:08,792
I know you feel bad.
Who wouldn't?
642
00:32:08,794 --> 00:32:10,694
It's stacked on top
Of a bunch of.
643
00:32:10,696 --> 00:32:13,230
That I already
Blame myself for...
644
00:32:13,232 --> 00:32:15,699
Rick leaving...
645
00:32:15,701 --> 00:32:18,435
Ashley leaving.
646
00:32:20,906 --> 00:32:24,141
I don't why I do This anymore.
647
00:32:24,143 --> 00:32:27,878
Parker was totally
Crushed at what happened,
648
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,380
Drowning in self-pity.
649
00:32:30,382 --> 00:32:34,952
So the best thing for him to do
Is get out there,
650
00:32:34,954 --> 00:32:38,055
Get back out in the cut,
Get in a piece of equipment,
651
00:32:38,057 --> 00:32:40,724
And blow off
Some of this frustration,
652
00:32:40,726 --> 00:32:43,126
Some of this
Self-disappointment.
653
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:45,295
You're not the boss anymore.
You're a leader.
654
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:47,798
You have to get out in the cuts
And show people.
655
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,733
That you're out there,
You're in it.
656
00:32:52,571 --> 00:32:54,438
You can do it.
657
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:57,674
All right.
This baby's ready to work!
658
00:32:57,676 --> 00:33:00,177
Yeah!
659
00:33:00,179 --> 00:33:03,280
I need to show everybody here
Who's boss.
660
00:33:03,282 --> 00:33:08,385
Getting back in the game,
He showed that he's a leader,
661
00:33:08,387 --> 00:33:10,354
And it helped him
As much as the crew.
662
00:33:14,093 --> 00:33:15,993
Throwing a hot dog
Down a hallway.
663
00:33:17,796 --> 00:33:21,765
Before, as a boss,
He was a standalone entity,
664
00:33:21,767 --> 00:33:25,369
And now we're
An integrated unit.
665
00:33:25,371 --> 00:33:27,204
- Can you guys build a pad?
- Yes, we can.
666
00:33:27,206 --> 00:33:28,972
- Can you put a wash plant on it?
- Yep.
667
00:33:28,974 --> 00:33:30,807
- Can you find some gold?
- Yep.
668
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:32,209
All right.
Why don't you do that?
669
00:33:32,211 --> 00:33:33,877
We will.
670
00:33:33,879 --> 00:33:35,178
As a leader,
You have to be passionate.
671
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:36,446
About what you're doing.
672
00:33:36,448 --> 00:33:37,647
You have to be.
673
00:33:37,649 --> 00:33:39,683
This will be a tough season
To top,
674
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:41,985
In the challenges
And the successes.
675
00:33:41,987 --> 00:33:45,022
He grew up a lot.
676
00:33:45,024 --> 00:33:48,325
He might even start shaving,
He grew up so much.
677
00:33:48,327 --> 00:33:49,926
I don't get complimented
Too often.
678
00:33:49,928 --> 00:33:52,095
Part of me thinks this isn't
Supposed to be happening.
679
00:33:52,097 --> 00:33:54,498
Right?
680
00:34:11,884 --> 00:34:13,617
But at tony's pace,
681
00:34:13,619 --> 00:34:16,686
It could take 30 years
To hit his goal.
682
00:34:33,038 --> 00:34:35,005
And this year, once again,
683
00:34:35,007 --> 00:34:39,176
Tony failed to get his
Second dredge mining for gold.
684
00:34:54,193 --> 00:34:55,992
I think that tony beets
Is a couple buckets short.
685
00:34:55,994 --> 00:34:57,627
Of a dredge there.
686
00:35:00,399 --> 00:35:02,966
If we had the parts, it could
Have been running, so...
687
00:35:02,968 --> 00:35:05,202
Unfortunately, we don't.
688
00:35:24,823 --> 00:35:26,022
There you go, tony.
689
00:35:26,024 --> 00:35:27,524
I feel that I bring, You know,
690
00:35:27,526 --> 00:35:29,726
A pretty good amount of skills
And knowledge to the table,
691
00:35:29,728 --> 00:35:33,730
So I definitely would like to be
Given a little bit of the reins.
692
00:35:33,732 --> 00:35:37,534
Don't crank too hard
Where you're gonna fall off.
693
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:38,902
There you go.
694
00:35:38,904 --> 00:35:41,338
Next year, if tony
Brings me back as a foreman.
695
00:35:41,340 --> 00:35:43,740
In charge of that dredge,
It will be running.
696
00:35:43,742 --> 00:35:45,408
But if I'm coming back,
697
00:35:45,410 --> 00:35:47,878
I need to be in charge
Of that dredge,
698
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,200
And that's the way
I'll come back.
699
00:36:10,202 --> 00:36:12,836
He's got
An awful lot of women, you know,
700
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:15,839
On social media
That are after him.
701
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:20,277
This season,
Rick ness finally found love.
702
00:36:20,279 --> 00:36:23,346
Kind of grew into a friendship.
703
00:36:23,348 --> 00:36:25,382
That is pretty strong,
I would say.
704
00:36:25,384 --> 00:36:27,017
I am super happy for him.
705
00:36:27,019 --> 00:36:28,485
When you see her,
706
00:36:28,487 --> 00:36:30,687
And she's this bubbly,
Giddy, little thing,
707
00:36:30,689 --> 00:36:33,356
She is like that all the time.
708
00:36:33,358 --> 00:36:35,926
She was up for thanksgiving
With rick at our house,
709
00:36:35,928 --> 00:36:37,093
And she's cute as hell,
710
00:36:37,095 --> 00:36:39,062
And she goes everywhere
Rick goes.
711
00:36:39,064 --> 00:36:42,165
She definitely doesn't like me
Talking to karla.
712
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:44,267
She's got all the qualities
I like, you know...
713
00:36:44,269 --> 00:36:47,404
Loyalty; Long, shiny hair.
714
00:36:49,908 --> 00:36:52,642
Rubi!
715
00:36:52,644 --> 00:36:54,277
Come here, baby! Get it!
716
00:36:54,279 --> 00:36:56,413
Rubi is his mother's dog,
717
00:36:56,415 --> 00:36:59,249
So rubi kind of carries
That memory for rick.
718
00:37:17,336 --> 00:37:19,202
By the end of the season,
719
00:37:19,204 --> 00:37:24,207
Parker had mined
7,418 ounces of gold,
720
00:37:24,209 --> 00:37:27,444
Worth nearly $9 million.
721
00:37:30,249 --> 00:37:35,485
But after a record season,
It's time for parker to move on.
722
00:37:35,487 --> 00:37:39,756
This season, we paid 1,350
Ounces in royalties to tony...
723
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:44,594
Like, a lot of money, and I...
724
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:48,632
You know, moving forward,
I just can't do that.
725
00:37:48,634 --> 00:37:53,770
Six years ago, tony beets took
A chance on a teenage parker.
726
00:37:53,772 --> 00:37:55,605
How many holes Should I drill?
727
00:37:59,745 --> 00:38:00,944
Right on.
728
00:38:08,654 --> 00:38:12,389
There it is... 1,000 ounces.
729
00:38:16,428 --> 00:38:20,230
Giving that final royalty
To tony felt damn good,
730
00:38:20,232 --> 00:38:24,501
And I really am enthusiastic
About mining our own ground.
731
00:38:24,503 --> 00:38:26,002
We could really make
A lot of money.
732
00:38:26,004 --> 00:38:28,505
And have a lot of fun doing this
If we do it the right way.
733
00:38:30,075 --> 00:38:31,708
Yeah. We're going to
That piece of ground.
734
00:38:31,710 --> 00:38:32,942
That we bought here Next to you.
735
00:38:32,944 --> 00:38:35,211
The biggest thing about
Here moving forward.
736
00:38:35,213 --> 00:38:38,048
Is gonna be putting him,
You know,
737
00:38:38,050 --> 00:38:40,150
In the rearview mirror
As a landlord.
738
00:38:40,152 --> 00:38:45,055
And, hopefully, us embracing
Each other as neighbors.
739
00:38:47,592 --> 00:38:49,459
Don't spend it all In one place.
740
00:38:59,404 --> 00:39:01,671
Before their season started,
741
00:39:01,673 --> 00:39:03,840
Rick made a promise to his crew.
742
00:39:03,842 --> 00:39:06,810
That he'd send them home
With gold.
743
00:39:06,812 --> 00:39:09,446
If we put in the work, we can
Get the gold out of the ground.
744
00:39:09,448 --> 00:39:10,714
Yeah!
745
00:39:10,716 --> 00:39:12,882
Take care of my daddy.
746
00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:15,051
- But his season...
- come on!
747
00:39:15,053 --> 00:39:17,687
Got off to A disastrous start.
748
00:39:19,291 --> 00:39:21,424
Shut it down! Hey, stop!
749
00:39:21,426 --> 00:39:22,625
What the?
750
00:39:22,627 --> 00:39:24,060
I know it's been hard
On you guys,
751
00:39:24,062 --> 00:39:25,428
And there's been no gold, right?
But you know what?
752
00:39:25,430 --> 00:39:26,896
I think we're about
To see results.
753
00:39:26,898 --> 00:39:28,398
"Perseverance" is what
I got on my hand.
754
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,767
It's a reminder of my grandpa,
Roy ness,
755
00:39:30,769 --> 00:39:32,102
And, you know,
What he stood for,
756
00:39:32,104 --> 00:39:34,137
Kind of what my, you know,
Family stands for.
757
00:39:34,139 --> 00:39:36,005
We're still not at our goal,
So I don't give a.
758
00:39:36,007 --> 00:39:37,440
We're still running.
759
00:39:37,442 --> 00:39:39,609
I don't think any of us
Are quitters, that's the thing,
760
00:39:39,611 --> 00:39:40,710
'cause there's nothing worse
Than quitting.
761
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:42,045
You'll never live that one down.
762
00:39:42,047 --> 00:39:43,813
A lot of businesses fail
In their first year,
763
00:39:43,815 --> 00:39:46,449
And for him to be successful.
764
00:39:46,451 --> 00:39:50,453
And to give your guys
A gold bonus is...
765
00:39:50,455 --> 00:39:52,689
I mean, that's huge.
766
00:39:52,691 --> 00:39:55,325
Here's one of those
For each you guys.
767
00:39:55,327 --> 00:39:57,727
Six months ago, rick,
We were sitting in milwaukee,
768
00:39:57,729 --> 00:40:00,096
And you pulled out
Some of your gold,
769
00:40:00,098 --> 00:40:02,298
And we showed it
To my kids and everything.
770
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:03,500
I'm gonna bring
That home to them.
771
00:40:03,502 --> 00:40:04,968
They're gonna be
The first people to see it.
772
00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:06,603
This really helps, man.
Yeah, buddy.
773
00:40:06,605 --> 00:40:08,138
- Appreciate it.
- You guys earned it.
774
00:40:08,140 --> 00:40:09,939
I set the goal at 1,000 ounces,
775
00:40:09,941 --> 00:40:12,609
But I always knew that I wanted
To do more than that.
776
00:40:12,611 --> 00:40:14,744
Because the most important thing
For me this year.
777
00:40:14,746 --> 00:40:17,180
Was getting that gold
To my guys at the end.
778
00:40:17,182 --> 00:40:19,182
That was it.
That's all that mattered.
779
00:40:23,755 --> 00:40:26,523
Next season, the miners return.
780
00:40:26,525 --> 00:40:29,359
With bigger plans
Than ever before.
781
00:40:29,361 --> 00:40:32,328
Getting out from under tony
And not mining his ground.
782
00:40:32,330 --> 00:40:34,964
Was the main priority for me.
783
00:40:34,966 --> 00:40:36,699
I've done it.
784
00:40:36,701 --> 00:40:39,702
We've bought the ground,
There's no royalties,
785
00:40:39,704 --> 00:40:43,273
And I think there's
A pile of gold there.
786
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:01,624
The ground that I'm working on
For next year.
787
00:41:01,626 --> 00:41:03,693
Is loaded with gold.
788
00:41:03,695 --> 00:41:04,994
I mean, it's...
789
00:41:04,996 --> 00:41:07,797
By all accounts,
It sounds amazing.
790
00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:09,966
I want something different,
I want something big,
791
00:41:09,968 --> 00:41:13,269
And I want to do better
For myself and for my guys.
792
00:41:13,271 --> 00:41:14,671
This year was a success,
You know?
793
00:41:14,673 --> 00:41:16,539
We did 1,100 ounces.
794
00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:19,175
Next year, I'm gonna do
Double that at least,
795
00:41:19,177 --> 00:41:21,945
And if things go like
It's looking like they are,
796
00:41:21,947 --> 00:41:24,747
Be coming home with nuggets
The size of my fist.
797
00:41:30,255 --> 00:41:35,525
Coming soon, on an all new
Season of "Parker's trail"...
798
00:41:35,527 --> 00:41:38,261
Papua new guinea's one of
The most dangerous countries.
799
00:41:38,263 --> 00:41:40,063
In the world.
800
00:41:40,065 --> 00:41:44,100
If you can survive,
You'll find piles of gold.
801
00:41:46,404 --> 00:41:48,238
This is awesome.
802
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,806
Whoa!! Let me out!
803
00:41:49,808 --> 00:41:51,641
I think we might be
A little bit lost.
804
00:41:51,643 --> 00:41:53,309
Aaaaaah!
805
00:41:53,311 --> 00:41:54,644
- Parker!
- Whoa!61790
