Short filmTranscript
00:06This 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.
00:35On this gold rush, Whitewater.
00:38Kids, don't try this at home.
00:41For over a decade.
00:44Go, go, go, go, go.
00:45Holy .
00:46Run, run, run. Get up here, guys. Get up here.
00:49This is probably the deadliest place I've ever been.
00:51Dustin Hurt and his crew of extreme Whitewater miners.
00:56If you're scared of dying, I'm never gonna live.
00:59What are you made out of, you know? What are you made out of?
01:02Have stared down death.
01:04Dive her in.
01:05On their quest.
01:06Get me out of here.
01:07For millions in gold.
01:10Watch out.
01:12He would have been dead.
01:14This is the story.
01:16Fastlight, fastlight.
01:18Of the most dangerous.
01:19And you thought your job was hard.
01:22And deadly.
01:23One more thing in Alaska trying to kill you.
01:29You can't put this on TV.
01:31Anymore.
01:33Modern day treasure hunt.
01:35Still not how I die.
01:37Oh, .
01:38Whoa.
01:40Get this thing off.
01:41Yeah.
01:42What?
01:44Did that just happen?
01:59We 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.
02:14But when the gold you're searching for is hidden in the most remote and dangerous parts of the planet.
02:20This place scares me.
02:22You have to be willing to put your life on the line.
02:27Here it is, guys.
02:28Oh, cool.
02:30Found it.
02:32To get equipment to one of the most inaccessible places on his claim, Dustin takes a chance with
02:40a transport relic abandoned by the old timers who first mined here.
02:45Fred's supposed to be over here somewhere on the other side.
02:48Fredy!
02:50At the turn of the last century, prospectors were so desperate to get to the gold, they
02:56risked life and limb, installing a cable spanning 200 feet across and 400 feet above Porcupine
03:04Creek.
03:11Fredy!
03:13Hey, Fred.
03:13You made it.
03:15Yeah, man.
03:16We got that cord reel loaded in the basket.
03:20Are you ready for it?
03:22I am, Fred.
03:23Send that over.
03:24All right.
03:24Let her out.
03:25Let her go.
03:27It's coming, Dustin.
03:37Look at that thing go.
03:49Hold up.
03:50It stopped.
03:52Are they pulling?
03:53Are they pulling, Fred?
03:55Dustin, pull on that thing a little bit.
03:57Hey, Fred.
03:58It looks like it's hung up out in the middle, man.
04:04It ain't doing nothing.
04:07We pulled as hard as we could and we can't get it to go.
04:17Hey, Fred.
04:18I got an idea.
04:19I'm going to jump on this line, go out and see what's got that thing hung up.
04:25Holy 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 and you just pull me back up.
04:44Okay?
04:46All right.
04:47You ready?
04:48All right, guys.
04:49You got me?
04:49We're ready.
04:50All right.
04:51Here we go.
04:59It looks a lot higher out here.
05:03Is there any way you can stop him?
05:06Hell no.
05:12400 feet off the deck.
05:23It's frayed.
05:24It's stuck in the fray.
05:27I think I can get it.
05:31Tough to watch.
05:32But when you got your son going out on a cable you don't know nothing about.
05:38What the hell?
05:40Justin!
05:40What the hell just happened?
05:42Oh my gosh.
05:44Justin!
05:47Is he okay?
05:49I got it.
05:51I got it.
05:52I got it.
05:52Can you get it loose?
05:54I think I can get it.
06:03All right.
06:04I think I got it, guys.
06:05All right.
06:06You ready to come back in?
06:07Yeah.
06:08Come on.
06:18All right.
06:19All right.
06:21Yeah, I feel it.
06:22Yeah!
06:23Woo-hoo!
06:24Way to go, Dustin.
06:26All right.
06:27All right.
06:27We have to do now.
06:28Pull it in.
06:33Here it comes.
06:34Yeah.
06:36Hey, man.
06:37Congratulations.
06:38Uh, go up there and find some gold now.
06:42All right, guys, we got our core drill.
06:44Let's get it, all right?
06:45Back to Cajun.
06:50When you rub shoulders with death on a daily basis,
06:57you soon get numb to a 400-foot death drop.
07:02Look at that view.
07:05Yeah, I love my job.
07:08But 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!
07:18From earthquakes...
07:19Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
07:21That's good.
07:22...to landslides...
07:24What the hell?
07:26Whoa, whoa, watch out!
07:27Whoa, run, run!
07:29These steep-sided ravines are a constant threat.
07:33One little rock wouldn't get ruined your day,
07:36it could ruin your life.
07:39That is a big damn rock.
07:41I don't think you could aim that thing more at your dive site if you tried.
07:45That'll kill you.
07:47But 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.
07:59And live to tell the story.
08:01All right, guys, let's set up a rope.
08:03Let's knock that boulder off.
08:05I don't want that thing landing on my head.
08:20I am not used to these big cliffs like this.
08:22It gets inside your head, man.
08:27Ooh.
08:29I'm sweating already.
08:31Dustin, James, and Scott have just their combined muscle power to topple this 10-ton Widowmaker.
08:40If you fall, we all fall.
08:42It's that simple.
08:44Not the right way to do this, but we're doing it.
08:47Just don't look down.
08:49I think you have to pry that loose and that .
08:51I think you're gonna have to go dig it out from underneath.
08:53Yep.
08:54Should we try to get that round rock out of there first at the bottom and then pry?
08:57You wanna try that?
09:10One, two, three.
09:13I got a bite.
09:18Get it pinned up.
09:20I got it pinned.
09:21All right, stop.
09:22I got it.
09:23It's pinned.
09:23Hold on.
09:23Get your breath.
09:24Get your breath.
09:25Get your breath.
09:26Ah.
09:29We're gonna do leg press this thing right over, aren't we?
09:31it.
09:32Let'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.
09:39Let go.
09:39See if it's staying.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Get a leg press.
09:43It's a leg press machine.
09:46Get your ass to where you can push hard.
09:49Just walk that .
09:50Ready?
09:51Ready?
09:52One, two, three.
09:53Go.
09:55Walk it, walk it, walk it.
09:58Hold on.
09:58Hold on.
10:04Hold on.
10:07Dude, it went through the ice.
10:10The mouth of the ice just exploded.
10:12Yeah!
10:16You!
10:17We win!
10:19Nice and done, boys.
10:22Yeah!
10:23That .
10:24Unreal.
10:25Let'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 and 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.
10:46We'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 down into that hole down there.
10:59To unearth the gold in the hostile wilds of Alaska.
11:03We're just kind of in that zone between crazy and insane.
11:08You have to be prepared to risk it all.
11:12Go ahead, Carlos.
11:13Okay.
11:15Here we go.
11:16In search of the ultimate prize.
11:24Watch, you watch, you watch.
11:25They're going.
11:26They're moving.
11:27Get ready.
11:28It's coming over the edge right now.
11:37There it goes.
11:38There it goes.
11:42Is it coming?
11:44Yeah.
11:44How exciting is this?
11:46I'm getting there.
11:55That doesn't look good.
11:57Hold up!
12:03Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
12:10Didn't see that happen.
12:13I have no idea what to do.
12:21We didn't want to do it this way because we knew it'd get broken.
12:25Being that it's already broken.
12:28Get ready, Fred!
12:37Got to get it over here past these little trees right here.
12:41Yeah, Fred! Look at you!
12:45Come on down!
12:47Dustin!
12:48Dustin, don't get in front of that thing.
12:49I hear you, Fred!
12:50All right, go ahead.
12:52Dustin's insane plan?
12:55Repel with the 1,000 pound dredge down a 400 foot sheer drop.
13:01A little bit of a cliff down there.
13:03Yeah, Fred, if you slip, you're going, man.
13:06Uh, this is beyond crazy.
13:10This is extremely, extremely dangerous stuff.
13:15It's the wrong way to do this !
13:19Dustin, you all right?
13:21Yeah, bud!
13:23He-he-he!
13:24Yeah! Come here!
13:25It's almost vertical, right from here out.
13:2910 feet out there.
13:31Straight down.
13:33Life or death situation right through the minute.
13:44Yee-haw!
13:47Ha-ha-ha-ha!
13:49Crazy!
13:51Another 15 feet, and it'll be in the water.
13:56It's getting close, Dustin.
14:01Dustin, rock, rock!
14:05Dustin!
14:14This is the wrong way to do this !
14:17At McKinley Creek, Dustin Hurt attempts to repel with his dredge
14:22down a crumbling 400 foot cliff face.
14:26It's getting close, Dustin.
14:32Dustin, rock, rock!
14:36Dustin!
14:44You all right?
14:49Dustin!
14:53Dustin!
14:54What the hell y'all doing?
14:56Can't see nothing.
14:59I don't know what happened.
15:01We need to go find him.
15:08Dude, you all right?
15:10Uh, a piece of slate hit me in my face.
15:13Knocked us, just knocked us, knocked me in the stars.
15:17Ugh!
15:22There he is!
15:24What the hell?
15:26I was getting worried, worried, worried.
15:29Holy crap, Brett, I almost got myself killed, man.
15:34The dredge made it down.
15:35It's down there, it's not in the best shape.
15:38Thank you for your help, though, seriously.
15:39You're welcome.
15:44If we can't find a good way into this spot, I don't know how to mine it.
15:48Surging 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.
16:03That looks angry as hell!
16:07But Dustin and his crew believe the best gold is protected by the fiercest of torrents.
16:14Take a puddle over there and we're good.
16:20Carlos, you're gonna have to pull from there and walk it over.
16:25Let go, let go, let go.
16:33Hey, I want to get off of this thing before he takes it, so...
16:39Cling it in.
16:43I can't hold it!
16:45Ah!
16:47Pull him in!
16:49Ah!
16:49Ah!
16:52Ah!
16:54Come on, get a hold of this!
16:58Dustin's safe.
16:59Yeah, I'm good.
17:00Come on, get a hold of this!
17:01The crew must now save their dredge from being swept over the monster waterfall.
17:06Don't get it out there, Ty, and we'll let it go, and it'll go that way.
17:09Yeah, go, go tie it!
17:10Tie it off!
17:13I don't know where to tie it off then.
17:14Tie it off some way!
17:16All right, I got it, I got it!
17:19Cut it!
17:21Cut it!
17:22Cut it!
17:23Cut it!
17:24The cable broke!
17:30Dustin, you all right?
17:33That was some sketchy s**t!
17:37Holy moly, man!
17:39I need to take a sit down.
17:42The guy's almost lost me and the dredge over the top of this waterfall, which would have been the death
17:47of me, for sure.
17:49Man, thank you guys for saving my life. How about that?
17:53Yeah.
17:53What the hell, man?
17:56This place just...
18:02I was crazy, dude. I was crazy.
18:14I want to get Carlos in and see what he can do today.
18:17To reach the millions in gold untouched by the old timers.
18:21I love to go cowboy. You have to go cowboy in Alaska, man.
18:25You have to be crazy enough to go where others won't.
18:28Let's get some hot water going!
18:31Hot water!
18:33But to dive in the glacial-fed torrent of McKinley Creek...
18:38That is our water that's coming out of the heater!
18:40You need all the help you can get.
18:45By adapting their dredge with an onboard water heater and air compressor.
18:53The system feeds warm water into the diver's wetsuit.
18:58And vital air to their mask.
19:05You want the mask inside or outside?
19:08Huh?
19:09Okay.
19:11I got you.
19:12Is that better?
19:13Yep.
19:14Got you.
19:14Diver in the water.
19:16Oh, yeah!
19:20Oh, that's cold.
19:21Oh!
19:23If you guys can pump up the hot water a little bit for me, please.
19:27Just close the valve a little bit?
19:33It'll be cold.
19:34I'm maxing up.
19:35All right.
19:36All right.
19:37We maxed out the engines just now.
19:39Okay.
19:39Good to go.
19:44The water going out is pretty damn warm right now.
19:47Yeah, man.
19:48It's starting to get a little bit chilly.
19:50Yeah.
19:50Sorry for that.
19:53Uh, baby.
19:54You're not twisted.
19:55You might want to pop up and see if we can look at your lines and see if you're twisted.
19:58That's kind of my thoughts on it right now.
20:01Okay.
20:01Okay.
20:01Paul, can you pull his line to see what it looks like?
20:05Let's get you turned around, buddy.
20:07So we got to take a look at you.
20:10Yeah, you're kicked off.
20:11You're kicked off.
20:12You're kicked off, right?
20:12So you're going to have to come up to Paul.
20:14Okay.
20:14Sorry, that's what's going on.
20:16Okay.
20:16I don't want to make this water too hot if you're kicked off.
20:19It's going to 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.
20:30Okay, I see it.
20:31It's a work in progress.
20:32We'll get there.
20:34I'm working on it.
20:36Oh, yeah.
20:37I got it now.
20:38Okay.
20:38You're kicked off.
20:39I'm sorry.
20:41We're going to have to work on the whole system.
20:44Still dripping.
20:45Oh, yeah.
20:45Oh, yeah.
20:46I got to get in.
20:47Oh, yeah.
20:49Oh, f***.
20:49Oh, f***.
20:51Oh, f***.
20:52Is it too hot?
20:54Yeah.
20:54Do it.
20:55Do it.
20:56All right.
20:57Open up your valve.
20:59Oh.

21:28Oh, my God.
21:30You got burned.
21:32You got burned.
21:33You got burned.
21:33In the 38-degree raging torrents, the hotwater dive system, custom built by the crew to keep
21:40Carlos safe Oh, no, let's go check him out has nearly boiled him alive
21:50Let's slow down
21:52So sorry, man, I'm so sorry
21:56Just relax slow down slow down everybody slow down right now is the time you need to not panic
22:02All right, all right
22:09Fred

22:11Boy, that's some bad stuff
22:14We got to get him to the hospital right away get a little get him treated for that whatever he's
22:18got there
22:21He's gonna have to go he has to go he got second-degree burn in about four places four or
22:28five
22:29He has no choice, but he has to go go ahead and head out do slow don't sweat a bunch
22:35Oh
22:51The doctor said it could have been a lot worse your pain bad looks pretty bad
22:55I guess she knew what hot water suits were and she said it could have been a lot worse that
22:59pain was so indescribable hot
23:02All I wanted to do was open my suit and just get the cold water inside
23:06It was a crawfish boil man
23:10That's how I felt like I'll never eat another crawfish without feeling sorry for
23:22Bigger better gold that'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
23:36earth
23:38It's nine miles up a raging river right now
23:42It's frozen and after all that snow is melted not even this truck will make it across that river
23:49Hmm i'm not understanding this man are we going to like drive up a river nine miles yes cross a
23:55river
23:56We're doing both
23:58Here we go
24:00This is going to be crazy
24:03Braving the mighty sirku river famous for swallowing cars whole
24:10Dustin and his die-hard crew are either racing to their fortune
24:15Or their deaths
24:18This is the week to make this freaking rock yeah look at all the snow up on the mountains and
24:22everything
24:22This is gonna be a raging river through here
24:30Right 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
24:42Cutting off the new claim
24:49Let's go
24:52Doing it carlos
25:02I think we're in trouble here
25:06Yeah that's pretty gut dang deep
25:08That's deep man
25:09This crossing looks like it has to be the worst the widest the deepest the finish line is literally right
25:18there
25:19Right freaking there
25:21Right now i'm running out of options
25:24Here goes nothing
25:31What are you doing?
25:35What are you doing?
25:36What are you doing?
25:38It's in the box

25:52What are you doing?
25:54What are you doing?
25:55What are you doing?
25:56What are you doing?
25:58What are you doing?
26:02What are you doing?
26:03What are you doing?
26:04What are you doing?
26:05What are you doing?
26:12What are you doing?
26:15What are you doing?
26:29Five miles up the mighty Sirkoo River, Dustin is attempting the impossible.
26:35Move his entire operation up the thawing river before it floods.
26:41Come on, baby.
26:44Oh, my God.
26:46Did that just happen?
26:48Did that just happen?
26:52Woo-hoo!
26:55You were crazy f***ing cold.
27:00That was insane!
27:03Woo!
27:06Go run!
27:09I'm never going to forget this s***, man.
27:12Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
27:14Damn!
27:15What the s***?
27:17By challenging the impossible, the crew have stared death in the eye and defeated the Sirkoo
27:24River by the skin of their teeth.
27:30Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
27:32Holy crap, dude!
27:34Oh!
27:34I can't believe we freaking made it, man.
27:36That was something.
27:38Let's not do that again.
27:40What a hell of a journey, yo.
27:41Yeah, it was.
27:42If that worked, then we got freaking gold coming our way, man.
27:45Oh.
27:45Because we put in the freaking effort and the work for this.
27:48Well, now that we're here, it's time to get started.
27:52Everybody's psyched that we actually made it.
27:55But there better be some damn good gold here.
28:03Look at all the trees going down the main channel there.
28:06You're really going to have to dodge that stuff.
28:08There's not much of a choice.
28:10I've got to go get those guys.
28:13Despite barely surviving the journey up the Sirkoo...
28:17Oh, she sounded feisty today!
28:19...it becomes their vital supply line in and out of Nugget Creek.
28:28But that lifeline can just as easily take a life.
28:35Holy s***!
28:37Wes!
28:37Yes!
28:38The power of that water is astonishing.
28:54Uh-oh.
28:56Uh-oh, it's right.
28:57That's not good.
28:59Yeah, it is.
29:01Come on, don't tell me this is dead.
29:05What 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.
29:24Anybody there?
29:25That's ridiculous, man.
29:28This is Wes.
29:29This is a no-death.
29:30We're getting the water floating backwards.
29:34All the freaking trees.
29:37We got one right in front of us.
29:42We're spinning!
29:47We're moving backwards now.
29:49Come on!
29:53It's going to take us right into that wall.
29:58We are done.
29:59We're toast.
30:00Hold on.
30:03Hold on!
30:07Oh, f***!
30:11We need to get the f*** out of the water.
30:13Oh, we're dead.
30:14Yeah.
30:15Maybe we can get this thing going.
30:17Connect that battery cable.
30:20Justin, get here.
30:21Take that.
30:24The 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 going to have to go change my draws.
30:48On this wild treasure hunt, big reward, big reward, holy cow, comes with even bigger risk.
30:58You couldn't have picked any easier place to go.
31:01This is when they test your character to the max right here.
31:05This 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 when they test your character to the max right here.
31:16What the f***?
31:17We're waking up to reports of flash flooding and mudslides as the effects of Typhoon Murbok continue to hammer parts
31:23of 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 f***?
31:38This f*** water is coming up.
31:41Here we go again.
31:44We had a catastrophic flood.
31:51Water's coming up so fast right now.
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.
32:12Dude, this is dangerous.
32:15Look at the wind.
32:15And the wind is underwater.
32:17When we came, that wind was way out of water.
32:21We need to save that dredge.
32:22F*** everything else to help out Kayla's crew.
32:26Just don't f***ing die.
32:32This ain't showing any sign of stopping and it's still raising.
32:38What are we doing?
32:40High off the dredge.
32:42F***ing trying.
32:50We have to get her on the bank.
32:52Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
32:55Watch your hole.
33:03The tidal wave could come at any time.
33:07We need to get out of here.
33:10We're going over the boardwalk right now.
33:13We can't get back.
33:21They're almost dropped.
33:24Lift it up.
33:27F*** off.
33:28It's getting hung up.
33:30Pull!
33:30Pull harder.
33:33Get out!
33:34We've got to go!
33:36Hurry the f*** up!
33:38Go, go, go, go.
33:40Go, go, go, go!
33:49Hey, we had more than, uh, the normal visitors.
33:56Despite mining in remote Alaska,
34:00you still have to deal with nosy neighbors dropping by.
34:06Get out of there!
34:08Hey!
34:13The rubber bullets, just for the bang.
34:16Boy, it scares the hell out of them.
34:19We 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.
34:30Little bastard, man.
34:32I'm going to find out where the bear sleeps at
34:34and take a frickin' poop in their front yard
34:36and see how they feel about that.
34:37Huh? Hey, Mexican food, man.
34:54Get out!
34:56We gotta go!
34:58We need to get the f*** out of this area.
35:01This is prime time to die.
35:04It's not safe out here.
35:07Come on, let's go!
35:07We gotta go, man, go!
35:09Go, go, go, go, go!
35:10Go, go, go, go, go!
35:11Get the f*** out!
35:14Our f***ing walkways underwater.
35:15We almost need to make it out on a fight.
35:17We have to abandon the trash.
35:18The trash is f***ing dead.
35:22We'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?
35:38But it's a good reminder that
35:40it's an easy way to die out here.
35:42Yep, this is, uh...
35:47...kubar.
36:07I need one of you to tell me
36:08that we can dig this.
36:10Even when you've been knocked down.
36:12That's dredgeable right there.
36:14That'll be kitty litter.
36:16We 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,
36:23but my goal is to get this dredge
36:26in the water, running,
36:28and dredging up there.
36:31The storm surge was strong enough
36:33to push three-foot rocks down the creek.
36:37But a 50-ton boulder acted like a dam,
36:41allowing mostly gravel
36:43to fill the area directly beneath it.
36:47meaning they could be back to bedrock
36:49and the gold in days.
36:52I mean, we're free to come give you guys a hand
36:53so 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
37:04and let's get to it, all right?
37:06Yeah, sounds like a plan.
37:07That thing right now is absolutely unstable.
37:11What are they going to do,
37:12just completely undermine that thing?
37:15Recipe for disaster.
37:18Yeah, it's a worst-case scenario,
37:20but I'd say the chances are 50-50.
37:22How about that?
37:24Would you risk your life for 50-50?
37:27Hell no.
37:29If you got enough hands,
37:31you can make stuff work,
37:32and that's what's happening right now.
37:35Yep.
37:36That's it.
37:36Got it.
37:38This is going to work right here, ain't it?
37:39Yep.
37:40All right, let's start with the engines
37:42getting on this thing.
37:43Copy that.
37:48One step closer to getting dredging.
37:51As soon as we get dredging,
37:52we're putting gold in the box.
37:57Yeah, boy!
37:59Yeah, buddy!
38:00Back in business!
38:01Good.
38:03Yeah.
38:04Looks like it's dredging.
38:06Hey, guys!
38:08I'm about to do a puff!
38:10Fire in the hole!
38:11Three, two, one!
38:17That's starting to look more and more eerie.
38:20Look at that.
38:22Boom.
38:22That thing could fall.
38:23Yeah, I see it, too.
38:25Back up and go left.
38:27I don't want you underneath that s***.
38:29Watch an eye on that.
38:31Starting to get some depth now!
38:34Pretty soon, we'll be able to suit up!
38:39Hold on.
38:41Back up, back up.
38:42Whoa!
38:42Boom!
38:43Ah!
38:44Oh, f***!
38:45Oh!
38:45Oh!
38:46Oh!
38:47Oh!
38:50Oh!
38:51Oh, my God!
38:57We almost got got!
39:00Everybody okay, right?
39:01Yeah!
39:04Oh, that got me shook, dude.
39:05Oh, that got me shook.
39:10Undermined 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.
39:31Look 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 f***ing close, man.
39:46Out of all the s*** I've seen up here, that's probably the scariest thing I've ever seen.
39:50Yeah, I'll second that.
39:55I'm a call in the season, that's it.
39:57We're done with this.
40:02Happened so fast, it just...
40:08I'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.
40:30Alright, let's get out of here.
40:32It's been a hell of a season, but it's time to go.
40:35We rocked as a team.
40:38God, so many things happened this year.
40:41We know there's a ton of gold up there.
40:42We'll be back to get what we left behind.
40:45I've 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!
40:56Just get her that rock full.
40:58Get her that dredge exploded.
41:00You got burned.
41:01I'm scared.
41:03The whole mountain's gonna come down here.
41:07Let's go!
41:11There's billions of ways to die here.
41:15It was a struggle to the end, but is it worth it?
41:18We're getting it!
41:20Hell yeah, it's worth it.
41:21It takes a special person to do this.
41:23It'll be done.
41:28You
