00:00This is the most nervous I've been in probably 20 years.
00:11I am about to do the craziest thing I've done in a very, very long time.
00:17Mission Control, we are going for launch.
00:20If you're gonna die, I might as well die having fun.
00:23On this gold rush, Whitewater.
00:38Kids, don't try this at home.
00:41For over a decade.
00:44Go, go, go, go, go.
00:46Run, run, run. Get up here, guys. Get up here.
00:49This is probably the deadliest place I've ever been.
00:52Austin Hurt and his crew of extreme Whitewater miners.
00:57If you're scared of dying, you're never gonna live.
00:59What are you made out of, you know? What are you made out of?
01:02Have stared down death.
01:04Knife red.
01:05On their quest.
01:07Get me out of here.
01:08For millions in gold.
01:10Watch out.
01:11Watch your face.
01:13He would have been dead.
01:14This is the story.
01:16Fast flight, fast flight.
01:18Of the most dangerous.
01:20And you thought your job was hard.
01:22And deadly.
01:23And deadly.
01:24One more thing in Alaska trying to kill you.
01:30You can't put this on TV.
01:32Anymore!
01:33Modern day treasure hunt.
01:35Still not how I die.
01:37Oh, .
01:38Whoa.
01:39Get this thing off.
01:40Yeah!
01:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:42Did that just happen?
01:46If we weren't a little bit crazy, we wouldn't be up here.
02:02We got a four and a half mile hike to make.
02:05Dustin Hurt has two very simple rules for his crazy style of gold mining.
02:11Don't get hurt.
02:12Don't die.
02:13Don't get hurt.
02:14Don't die.
02:15But when the gold you're searching for is hidden in the most remote and dangerous parts
02:20of the planet.
02:21This place scares me.
02:22You have to be willing to put your life on the line.
02:26Here it is, guys.
02:28Oh, cool.
02:29Found it.
02:30Found it.
02:31To get equipment to one of the most inaccessible places on his claim, Dustin takes a chance
02:40with a transport relic abandoned by the old timers who first mined here.
02:45Fred's supposed to be over here somewhere on the other side.
02:48Fred!
02:49Hey, Fred, you made it.
03:01Yeah, man.
03:02and 400 feet above Porcupine Creek.
03:11Fredy!
03:13Hey, Fred, you made it.
03:15Yeah, man, we got that cord reel loaded in the basket.
03:20Are you ready for it?
03:22I am, Fred.
03:22Send that over.
03:24All right, let her out.
03:25Let her go.
03:28It's coming, Dustin.
03:32Look at that thing go.
03:48Hold up.
03:50It's stopped.
03:51Are they pulling?
03:52Are they pulling, Fred?
03:54Dustin, pull on that thing a little bit.
03:56Hey, Fred, it looks like it's hung up out the middle, man.
04:02It ain't doing nothing.
04:05We pulled as hard as we could, and we can't get it to go.
04:17Hey, Fred, I got an idea.
04:19I'm going to jump on this line, go out,
04:21and see what's got that thing hung up.
04:25Oh, you are.
04:27We can't just leave it out there.
04:31I'm going to put on a harness.
04:32I'm going to go get this thing.
04:37This is not a good idea.
04:39Not a good idea.
04:42Hopefully, I can get this thing untangled,
04:43and you just pull me back up.
04:45OK?
04:46All right, you ready?
04:48All right, guys, you got me?
04:49We're ready.
04:50All right, here we go.
04:51It looks a lot higher out here.
05:04Is there any way you can stop him?
05:06Hell no.
05:12400 feet off the deck.
05:21It's frayed.
05:23It's stuck in the fray.
05:26I think I can get it.
05:30Tough to watch.
05:31But when you got your son going out on a cable
05:33you don't know nothing about.
05:37Oh!
05:38What the hell?
05:39Dustin!
05:40What the hell just happened?
05:41Oh, my gosh.
05:43Dustin!
05:47Is he OK?
05:49I got it.
05:51I got it.
05:52Can you get it loose?
05:54I think I can get it.
06:03All right, I think I got it, guys.
06:05All right, you ready to come back in?
06:06Yeah!
06:08Come on!
06:18Whoo!
06:19All right!
06:24Way to go, Dustin.
06:25All right.
06:26All we have to do now is pull it in.
06:32Here it comes.
06:34Yeah!
06:36OK, man, congratulations.
06:38Go up there and find some gold now.
06:41All right, guys, we got our core drill.
06:43Let's get it, all right?
06:44Back to Cajun.
06:45Back to Cajun.
06:48Whoo-hoo-hoo!
06:50When you rub shoulders with death on a daily basis...
06:54Wee!
06:56Ha-ha-ha!
06:58...you soon get numb to a 400-foot death drop.
07:02Whoo!
07:03Look at that view.
07:04Yeah, I love my job.
07:07But out here, Mother Nature is in charge.
07:11And you never know what she will throw at you next.
07:16It's coming down over here!
07:17From earthquakes...
07:18Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
07:21That's good.
07:22...to landslides...
07:24What the hell?
07:26Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
07:27Run, run, run!
07:29...these steep-sided ravines are a constant threat.
07:32One little rock wouldn't get ruined your day, it could ruin your life.
07:37That is a big damn rock.
07:41I don't think you could aim that thing more at your dive site if you tried.
07:44That'll kill you.
07:46But this band of renegade miners will stop at nothing to achieve their dream of life-changing gold.
07:55That's bigger than any boulder we've ever moved, ever.
07:58And live to tell the story.
08:01All right, guys, let's set up a rope.
08:03Let's knock that boulder off.
08:04I don't want that thing landing on my head.
08:19I am not used to these big cliffs like this.
08:22It gets inside your head, man.
08:23Ooh!
08:28I'm sweating already.
08:30Dustin, James, and Scott have just their combined muscle power to topple this 10-ton Widowmaker.
08:39If you fall, we all fall. It's that simple.
08:43Not the right way to do this, but we're doing it.
08:45Just don't look down.
08:48I think you have to pry that loose and that .
08:50I think you're going to have to go dig it out from underneath.
08:52Yep.
08:53Should we try to get that round rock out of there first at the bottom and then pry?
08:57You want to try that?
08:58All right.
09:10One, two, three.
09:13I got a bite.
09:17Get it pinned up.
09:19I got it pinned.
09:21All right, stop. I got it. It's pinned. Hold on.
09:23Get your breath. Get your breath. Get your breath.
09:24We're going to have the leg press this thing right over, aren't we?
09:31Let's run it, brother.
09:33James?
09:34Yeah?
09:35I need you to lay down next to us and put your feet up on this thing.
09:38Let go. See if it's staying.
09:41Get the leg pressed. It's the leg press machine.
09:45Get your ass to where you can push hard.
09:48I'm just walking that .
09:49Ready?
09:50Ready?
09:51Ready?
09:52One, two, three.
09:53Go.
09:55Walking, walking, walking.
09:57Hold on. Hold on.
10:07Man, it went through the ice.
10:09The mouth of the ice just exploded.
10:11Yeah!
10:15you!
10:17We win!
10:19Nice and done, boys.
10:22Yeah!
10:24Let's get out of here.
10:28This creek wants to kill us.
10:31It wants to keep its gold and it has kept its gold.
10:34They've known there was gold in this thing for a hundred years
10:37and it's still there.
10:40Figure that out.
10:41We're doing this.
10:43I don't care how dangerous it is.
10:45We're gonna figure this out.
10:51And now the hard part.
10:53We got the dredge.
10:54All we gotta do is get it from over there,
10:57down into that hole down there.
10:59To unearth the gold in the hostile wilds of Alaska.
11:02We're just kind of in that zone between crazy and insane.
11:07You have to be prepared to risk it all.
11:11Go ahead, Carlos.
11:13Okay.
11:14Here we go.
11:16In search of the ultimate prize.
11:23Watch, you watch, you watch.
11:24They're going.
11:25They're moving.
11:27Get ready.
11:28It's coming over the edge right now.
11:29There it goes.
11:30There it goes.
11:31There it goes.
11:32Yeah.
11:33Oh .
11:34Is it coming?
11:35Yeah.
11:36How exciting is this?
11:37Getting there.
11:38Good, good, good.
11:40Ooh, ooh.
11:42That doesn't look good.
11:44Hold up.
11:46Oh .
11:48Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:00Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:01.
12:02I didn't see that happen.
12:04Whoa!
12:10Didn't see that happen.
12:13I have no idea what to do, huh?
12:21We didn't want to do it this way because we knew it'd get broken.
12:25Being that it's already broken.
12:28Here it is, Fred.
12:34You got to get it over here past these little trees right here.
12:40Yeah, Fred, look at you!
12:45Come on down.
12:47Dustin, don't get in front of that thing.
12:49I hear you, Fred.
12:51Dustin's insane plan?
12:54Repel with a 1,000-pound dredge down a 400-foot sheer drop.
13:01A little bit of a cliff down there.
13:02Yeah, Fred, if you slip, you're going, man.
13:06Uh, this is beyond crazy.
13:09This is extremely, extremely dangerous stuff.
13:14This is the wrong way to do this !
13:18Dustin, you all right?
13:20Yeah, I'm fine!
13:22Hee-hee-hee!
13:23Yeah! Come here!
13:24Come here!
13:25It's almost vertical, right from here out.
13:29Ten feet out there.
13:31Straight down.
13:33Life-or-death situation right through the minute.
13:34Yee-haw!
13:36Ha-ha-ha-ha!
13:38Crazy!
13:39Another 15 feet, and it'll be in the water.
13:43It's getting close to us, isn't it?
13:44Justin!
13:45Justin!
13:46Rock!
13:47Rock!
13:48Justin!
13:49Rock!
13:51Justin!
13:53Rock!
13:57It's the wrong way to do this !
13:59At McKinley Creek, Dustin Hurt attempts to repel with his dredge down a crumbling 400-foot
14:24cliff face. It's getting close, Dustin.
14:32Dustin, rock up!
14:36Dustin!
14:44You all right?
14:48Dustin!
14:52What the hell are y'all doing?
14:55I can't see nothing.
14:58I don't know what happened.
15:00We need to go find him.
15:07Dude, you all right?
15:09A piece of slate hit me in my face.
15:12Knocked me in the stars.
15:16There he is.
15:24What the hell?
15:26I was getting worried, worried, worried.
15:29Holy crap, Brett. I almost got myself killed, man.
15:33The dredge made it down. It's down there. It's not in the best shape.
15:37Thank you for your help, though. Seriously.
15:39You're welcome.
15:40Oh, seriously.
15:43If we can't find a good way into this spot, I don't know how to mine it.
15:47Surging at over 2,000 gallons a second at the top of an 80-foot waterfall.
15:54How do we make this safe?
15:56The deadly whitewater is desperate to chew up any miner brave enough to dive in.
16:02That looks angry as hell.
16:07But Dustin and his crew believe the best gold is protected by the fiercest of torrents.
16:13Take a puddle over there and we're good.
16:19Carlos, you're gonna have to pull from there and walk it over.
16:25Let go, let go, let go.
16:32Hey, I want to get off of this thing before he takes it, so...
16:39Let it in.
16:43I can't hold it!
16:45Ah!
16:46Pull him in.
16:54Come on, get a hold of it!
16:57Dustin's safe.
16:58Yeah, I'm good.
16:59Come on, get a hold of it!
17:00The crew must now save their dredge from being swept over the monster waterfall.
17:06Go get it up there, Ty, and we'll let it go.
17:08Yeah, go tie it!
17:09Tie it off!
17:13I don't know where to tie it off there!
17:14Tie it off the way!
17:15All right, I got it!
17:16I got it!
17:17Oh!
17:18There we go, Dustin!
17:19All right!
17:20Cut it!
17:21Cut it!
17:22Cut it!
17:23Cut it!
17:24Cut it off!
17:25The cable broke.
17:30Dustin, you all right?
17:33That was some sketchy .
17:35Holy moly, man!
17:36I need to take a sit-down.
17:38The guys almost lost me and the dredge over the top of this waterfall, which would've been
17:42the death of me for sure.
17:43Man, thank you guys for saving my life.
17:44How about that?
17:45Yeah.
17:46What the hell, man?
17:47This place just...
17:48I was crazy, dude.
17:49I was crazy.
17:50I was crazy.
17:54I was crazy.
17:55I was crazy.
17:56I want to get Carlos in and see what he can do today.
18:01To reach the millions in gold untouched by the old timers.
18:07I love to go cowboy.
18:08You have to go cowboy in Alaska, man.
18:09You have to be crazy enough to go where others won't.
18:14Let's get some hot water going.
18:16Hot water!
18:17But to dive in the glacial-fed torrent of McKinley Creek.
18:22You have to go cowboy in Alaska, right?
18:24You have to be crazy enough to go where others won't.
18:28Let's get some hot water going.
18:30Hot water!
18:32But to dive in the glacial-fed torrent of McKinley Creek...
18:37That is our water that's coming out of the heater.
18:40...you need all the help you can get...
18:45...by adapting their dredge with an onboard water heater...
18:49...and air compressor.
18:53The system feeds warm water into the diver's wetsuit...
18:58...and vital air to their mask.
19:05You want the mask inside or outside?
19:07Huh?
19:08Okay.
19:11I got you.
19:12Is that better?
19:13Got you.
19:14Diver in the water.
19:15Oh, yeah!
19:19Oh, that's cold.
19:21If you guys can pump up the hot water a little bit for me, please.
19:27Just close the valve a little bit?
19:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:33It's a little bit cold.
19:34I'm maxing out.
19:35Alright.
19:36Alright.
19:37We maxed out the engines just now.
19:38Okay, good to go.
19:44The water going out is pretty damn warm right now.
19:46Yeah, man.
19:47It's starting to get a little bit chilly.
19:49Yeah, sorry for that.
19:50Uh, baby.
19:51You're not twisted.
19:52You might want to pop up and see if we can look at your lines and see if you're twisted.
19:57That's kind of my thoughts on it right now.
19:59Okay.
20:00Paul, can you pull his line to see what it looks like?
20:04Let's get you turned around, buddy.
20:06So we gotta take a look at you.
20:08Yep.
20:09Yeah, you're kicked off.
20:10You're kicked off, right?
20:11So you're gonna have to come up to Paul.
20:13Okay.
20:14Sorry, that's what's going on.
20:15Alright.
20:16I don't want to make this water too hot if you're kicked off.
20:18It's gonna burn the f*** out, dude.
20:22Yeah, you're kicked off real bad, man.
20:24Sorry.
20:28Paul, do I need to come up with the water a little bit?
20:30Yeah.
20:31Okay, I see it.
20:32It's a work in progress.
20:33We'll get there.
20:34I'm working on it.
20:36Oh, yeah.
20:37I got it now.
20:38Okay.
20:39You're kicked off.
20:40I'm sorry.
20:41We're gonna have to work on the whole system.
20:43Oh, yeah.
20:44Oh, yeah.
20:45I gotta get it.
20:46I gotta get it.
20:47Oh.
20:48Oh, yeah.
20:49Oh, f***.
20:50Oh, f***.
20:51Did they do a hot one?
20:53Yeah.
20:54Do it.
20:55Do it.
20:56Alright.
20:57Open up your valve.
20:58Oh.
20:59Oh, yeah.
21:00Oh, shut down.
21:01Shut down.
21:02Get her off.
21:03Get her off.
21:04Get her off.
21:05Get her off.
21:06Get her off.
21:07Get her off.
21:08Get her off.
21:09Get him out of there.
21:10Get him out of there.
21:11Hurry.
21:12Get her off.
21:13Get her off.
21:14Get her off.
21:15Get her off.
21:16Get her off.
21:17Get her off.
21:18Get her off.
21:19Get her off.
21:20Get her off.
21:21Get her off.
21:22Get her off.
21:23Get her off.
21:24Get her off.
21:25Get her off.
21:26Get her off.
21:27Oh, my God.
21:29You got burned.
21:30You got burned.
21:31You got burned.
21:32In the 38 degree raging torrents, the hot water dive system, custom built by the crew to keep Carlos
21:41Oh, no.
21:43Let's go check him out.
21:44Has nearly boiled him alive.
21:49Let's slow down.
21:52I'm so sorry, man.
21:53I'm so sorry.
21:56Just relax.
21:57Just slow down.
21:58Slow down.
21:59Everybody slow down.
22:00Right now is the time you need to not panic.
22:02All right.
22:03All right, Fred.
22:08Come in here.
22:11Boy, that's some bad stuff.
22:13We got to get him to the hospital right away.
22:15Get him treated for whatever he's got there.
22:18He said he didn't want to go to the hospital.
22:21He's going to have to go.
22:22He has to go.
22:23He got second degree burn in about four places.
22:26Four or five.
22:28He has no choice, but he has to go.
22:31Go ahead and head out.
22:32Do slow.
22:33Don't sweat a bunch.
22:40The doctor said it could have been a lot worse.
22:52You think that looks pretty bad?
22:54I guess she knew what hot water suits were and she said it could have been a lot worse.
22:58That pain was so indescribable hot.
23:01All I wanted to do was open my suit and just get the cold water inside.
23:05It was a crawfish boil, man.
23:07That's how I felt like I'll never eat another crawfish without feeling sorry for the .
23:13Bigger, better gold.
23:23That's what we're looking for, right?
23:25But it looks impossible to get to.
23:28Finding that untouched mother load of gold means pushing the limits of possibility by journeying to the ends of the earth.
23:38It's nine miles up a raging river.
23:41Right now it's frozen and after all that snow is melted, not even this truck will make it across that river.
23:48Hmm.
23:49I'm not understanding this, man.
23:50Are we going to drive up a river nine miles or across a river?
23:55Yes.
23:56We're doing both.
23:58Here we go.
23:59This is going to be crazy.
24:02Braving the mighty Sirku River, famous for swallowing cars whole.
24:08God, I love my job.
24:10Dustin and his die-hard crew are either racing to their fortune or their deaths.
24:17This is the week to make this freaking possible.
24:20Yeah.
24:21Look at all the snow up on the mountains and everything.
24:22When that melts, this is going to be a raging river through here.
24:27Right now, the river is at its lowest.
24:34But they need to move fast, as melting glaciers mean the river will soon be in full flood, cutting off the new claim.
24:44Let's go!
24:45Let's go!
24:46You're doing it, Carlos!
24:47You're great, man!
24:48I think we're in trouble here.
24:51I think we're in trouble here.
25:04Yeah, that's pretty gut-naked.
25:07That's deep, man.
25:09This crossing looks like it has to be the worst.
25:13The widest, the deepest.
25:15The finish line is literally right there.
25:18Right frickin' there.
25:21Right now, I'm running out of options.
25:24Here goes nothing.
25:31What am I doing?
25:34What am I doing?
25:37I'm gonna tip the f*** off.
25:41All right, things are happening.
25:44I'm in trouble.
25:46I've been off board and I can shoot.
25:48We're about to stall.
25:49We're f***ing.
25:51Carlos, we're f***ing.
25:53Carlos, please don't flip.
25:56Please don't flip.
25:57Please don't flip.
25:59Please don't flip.
26:01Don't make it.
26:03Please don't flip.
26:04Please don't flip.
26:05Please don't flip.
26:06Please don't flip.
26:07Five miles up the mighty Sirku River, Dustin is attempting the impossible.
26:22Move his entire operation up the thawing river before it floods.
26:41Come on, baby.
26:44Oh, my God.
26:45Did that just happen?
26:47Did that just happen?
26:48Did that just happen?
26:51Woo-hoo!
26:54You were crazy f***ing cold.
26:56That was insane!
27:01Woo!
27:02Now we're gonna forget this s***, man.
27:15Yeah!
27:16Mother s***!
27:17By challenging the impossible, the crew have stared death in the eye and defeated the Sirku River by the skin of their teeth.
27:27Holy crap, dude!
27:33I can't believe we frickin' made it, man.
27:36That was something.
27:37Let's not do that again.
27:39What a hell of a journey, yo.
27:41Yeah, it was.
27:42If that worked, then we got frickin' gold coming our way, man.
27:45Cause we put in the frickin' effort and the work for this.
27:48Well, now that we're here, it's time to get started.
27:51Everybody's psyched that we actually made it.
27:54But there better be some damn good gold here.
28:02Look at all the trees going down the main channel there.
28:05You're really gonna have to dodge that stuff.
28:07There's not much of a choice.
28:09I've gotta go get those guys.
28:11Despite barely surviving the journey up the Sirku...
28:16Oh, she sounded feisty today!
28:19It becomes their vital supply line in and out of Nugget Creek.
28:28But that lifeline can just as easily take a life.
28:35Holy .
28:36Wes?
28:37Yes?
28:38The power of that water is astonishing.
28:54Uh-oh.
28:55Uh-oh, it's right.
28:57That's not good.
28:58Just a bad place.
28:59Yeah, it is.
29:00Come on, don't tell me this is dead.
29:02What the hell is up with that?
29:09It's dead.
29:15Scott for Nugget Creek.
29:16Scott for Nugget Creek.
29:20Come on!
29:22Scott for Nugget Creek.
29:23Anybody there?
29:25This is ridiculous, man.
29:28This is Wes.
29:29This is a no-duff.
29:30We're getting the water floating backwards.
29:33All the frickin' trees.
29:36We got one right in front of us.
29:39What the ?
29:41We're spinning!
29:46We're getting backwards now.
29:48Come on!
29:53It's gonna take us right into that wall.
29:55We are done.
29:58We're toast.
29:59Hold on.
30:02Hold on!
30:03Hold on!
30:07Oh, .
30:11We need to get the out of the water.
30:12Oh, we're dead.
30:13Yeah.
30:15Maybe we can get this thing going.
30:17Connect that battery cable.
30:20Here, take that.
30:22The red light just came on.
30:27Come on, baby.
30:29Come on!
30:34Yes!
30:36Get the hell out of here.
30:38That was a serious ordeal right there.
30:41I'm gonna have to go change my draws.
30:42On this wild treasure hunt,
30:51big reward...
30:53Holy cow!
30:54...comes with even bigger risk.
30:57You couldn't have picked any easier place to go?
31:01This is when they test your character to the max right here.
31:05And out here, your luck can change on a dime.
31:13This is insane!
31:15What the...
31:17We're waking up to reports of flash flooding and mudslides
31:21as the effects of Typhoon Murbok continue to hammer parts of Alaska.
31:24Officials are recommending all residents remain indoors until the storm passes.
31:29Go check outside, see how it's doing.
31:36What the...
31:38This water is coming up!
31:41Here we go again.
31:43We had a catastrophic flood.
31:51Water's coming up so fast right now.
31:53You know?
31:57I never thought I would ever see anything like this.
32:01I thought I'd seen all the flash floods of McKinley.
32:06I thought I'd seen it all.
32:08This is by far...
32:10It came up!
32:11It just came up right now!
32:13Dude, this is dangerous! Look at the winch!
32:16And the winch is under water!
32:18When we came, that winch was way out of water!
32:20We need to save that dredge!
32:22F*** everything else!
32:24Help out Kayla's crew!
32:26Just don't f***ing die!
32:31This ain't showing any sign of stopping and it's still raising!
32:38What are we doing?
32:40Tie off the dredge!
32:42F***ing trying!
32:46All hands up!
32:47We have to get her on the bank!
32:51Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
32:53Punching the hole!
32:56Holy f***!
32:58A tile wave could come at any time!
33:01We need to get out of here!
33:03We're going over the boardwalk right now!
33:06We can't get back!
33:07We're almost trapped!
33:08Lift it up!
33:10It's getting hung up!
33:11Pull! Pull harder!
33:13Get out!
33:15You gotta go!
33:17Put it up!
33:18Hurry up!
33:19Put it on now!
33:20Breathe!
33:21Put it on!
33:22Go, go, go!
33:24Stop!
33:25Move!
33:26Move!
33:28Move!
33:29Move!
33:30Move!
33:31Move!
33:32Gret Caer.
33:33It's getting hung up.
33:34Pull!
33:35Pull harder!
33:36Get out!
33:38Get out!
33:39You gotta go!
33:40Ciget!
33:41Move!
33:42Move!
33:43Hey, we had more than the normal visitors.
33:57Despite mining in remote Alaska, you still have to deal with nosy neighbors dropping
34:04by.
34:05There's a rubber bullet, just for the bang, which scares the hell out of them.
34:20We have a bear problem.
34:21The bears have a human problem.
34:23We moved into their town, so they want to check us out.
34:26They want to bite on everything that we have.
34:29Little bastard man.
34:32I'm going to find out where the bear sleeps at and take a frickin' poop in their front
34:36yard and see how they feel about that.
34:38Huh?
34:39Hey, Mexican food, man.
34:55Get out!
34:56We gotta go!
34:59We need to get the out of this area.
35:02This is prime time to die.
35:04It's not safe out here.
35:06Come on, let's go!
35:07We got it here, man.
35:08Let's go!
35:09Let's go!
35:10Let's go!
35:11Let's go!
35:12Let's go!
35:13Let's go!
35:14Let's go!
35:15The walkway's underwater.
35:16We almost need to make it out of sight.
35:18We have to abandon the trash.
35:19The trash is dead.
35:20We're about to lose everything.
35:23There's nothing I can do but watch it happen.
35:26This place is destroyed.
35:28Everything we have is underwater right now.
35:32Water took everything today.
35:35How we didn't see this coming.
35:37Nobody got hurt?
35:39But it's a good reminder that it's an easy way to die out here.
35:42Yep.
35:43This is, uh...
35:47Poobar.
35:48I need one of you to tell me that we can dig this.
36:10Even when you've been knocked down.
36:12That's dredgeable right there.
36:14It'll be kitty litter so we can just take out, no problem.
36:17The lure of gold will pick you back up.
36:21I don't know what we can get done, but my goal is to get this dredge in the water, running,
36:28and dredging up there.
36:30The storm surge was strong enough to push three-foot rocks down the creek.
36:36But a 50-ton boulder acted like a dam, allowing mostly gravel to fill the area directly beneath it.
36:46Meaning, they could be back to bedrock and the gold in days.
36:51I mean, we're free to come give you guys a hand so we can just hit this as hard as we can.
36:56Boy, that sounds like a good idea.
36:58We know there's gold here.
36:59Yeah, absolutely.
37:00There's absolutely gold here.
37:02Let's finish what we started, and let's get to it, all right?
37:05Yeah.
37:06Sounds like a plan.
37:07That thing right now is absolutely unstable.
37:10What are they gonna do?
37:11Just completely undermine that thing?
37:13Recipe for disaster.
37:14Yeah, it's a worst-case scenario, but I'd say the chances are 50-50.
37:18How about that?
37:19Could you risk your life for 50-50?
37:20Hell no.
37:21If you got enough hands, you can make stuff work, and that's what's happening right now.
37:34Yep.
37:35That's it.
37:36Got it.
37:37This is gonna work right here, ain't it?
37:39Yep.
37:40All right.
37:41Let's start with the engines getting on this thing.
37:43Copy that.
37:48One step closer to getting dredging.
37:50As soon as we get dredging, we're putting gold in the box.
37:57Yeah, boy!
37:58Yeah, buddy!
37:59Back in business!
38:01Good.
38:02Yeah, looks like it's dredging.
38:05Hey, guys!
38:06I'm about to do a puff!
38:09Fire in the hole!
38:10Three, two, one!
38:14Woo!
38:15That's starting to look more and more eerie.
38:19Look at that.
38:20Boom!
38:21That thing could fall.
38:22Yeah, I see it too.
38:24Back up and go left.
38:26I don't want you underneath that .
38:28Watch an eye on that.
38:30Starting to get some depth now.
38:33Pretty soon we'll be able to suit up.
38:39Hold on.
38:40Back up.
38:41Back up.
38:42Whoa!
38:43Boom!
38:44Ah!
38:45Oh, .
38:46Oh, my God.
38:51We almost got got.
38:52Everybody okay, right?
38:53Yeah.
38:54Oh, that got me shook, dude.
38:58Undermined by currents, the 50-ton boulder nearly crushed the entire crew.
39:04Can't believe that thing fell like that?
39:07That went so fast.
39:11Undermined by currents, the 50-ton boulder nearly crushed the entire crew.
39:21Can you believe that thing fell like that?
39:24That went so fast.
39:32Look at that thing. It's terrifying.
39:36I just watched half of my crew almost die.
39:41That would have been a permanent grave.
39:44That was close, man.
39:46Out of all the I've seen up here, that's probably the scariest thing I've ever seen.
39:50Yeah, I second that.
39:55I'm a call in the season. That's it. We're done with this.
40:02It happened so fast, it just...
40:05I'm lucky to be alive.
40:11Ah, blew my damn mind just now.
40:16Could have crashed every one of us and never had a single thought about it.
40:24I got a lot to process.
40:25All right, let's get out of here.
40:27It's been a hell of a season, but it's time to go. We rocked as a team.
40:37God, so many things happened this year.
40:40We know there's a ton of gold up there. We'll be back to get what we left behind.
40:45I bled for this.
40:47Rock!
40:48Nearly died.
40:49Justin!
40:50You have to really want this or else you won't do it.
40:53I'd love to live at this level.
40:55Yeah, baby!
40:56Scared her that rock falls. Scared her that dread is exploding.
41:00You got burned.
41:01Scared the whole mountain is going to come down on you.
41:07Go!
41:12There's billions of ways to die here.
41:15It was a struggle to the end, but is it worth it?
41:18Worth it?
41:20Hell yeah, it's worth it.
41:21It takes a special person to do this.
41:23It takes a special person to do this.
