1
00:00:19,967 --> 00:00:21,667
Hidden deep within
2
00:00:21,667 --> 00:00:23,133
The hollows of a forgotten
3
00:00:23,133 --> 00:00:27,533
Corner of America...
4
00:00:27,533 --> 00:00:29,267
It's late summer in the
5
00:00:29,267 --> 00:00:31,167
Mountains of Appalachia...
6
00:00:31,167 --> 00:00:33,300
But to the renegades who call
7
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,333
This place home, a battle is
8
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:36,233
About to begin...
9
00:00:36,233 --> 00:00:37,500
This is how we make
10
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,000
Moonshine!
11
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:43,767
...A centuries-old
12
00:00:43,767 --> 00:00:45,067
War...
13
00:00:45,067 --> 00:00:46,867
This is probably the most
14
00:00:46,867 --> 00:00:50,400
Paranoid time it is.
15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,167
It's moonshine
16
00:00:52,167 --> 00:00:54,233
Season.
17
00:00:54,233 --> 00:00:56,000
It's a season lived under the
18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,800
Gun.
19
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:00,600
Police! Search warrant!
20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,667
Police! Search warrant!
21
00:01:01,667 --> 00:01:02,900
I like to tell people, at
22
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:04,233
Nighttime, I am the boogie man,
23
00:01:04,233 --> 00:01:05,367
Because we gonna get you.
24
00:01:05,367 --> 00:01:07,433
To the best, the
25
00:01:07,433 --> 00:01:09,600
Next three months can mean over
26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,133
100 grand, tax-free.
27
00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:12,500
I don't need my government.
28
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,367
Millions of dollars ride the
29
00:01:14,367 --> 00:01:15,200
Enterprise.
30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,067
You can really make big bucks
31
00:01:17,067 --> 00:01:17,900
On this stuff.
32
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:19,567
The victors become
33
00:01:19,567 --> 00:01:20,733
The stuff of legend.
34
00:01:20,733 --> 00:01:21,633
Yeehaw!
35
00:01:21,633 --> 00:01:24,067
The losers face the
36
00:01:24,067 --> 00:01:26,133
Slammer.
37
00:01:26,133 --> 00:01:28,067
Only takes one mistake.
38
00:01:28,067 --> 00:01:29,967
One mistake, and you mess up.
39
00:01:29,967 --> 00:01:32,100
The earth provides
40
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:33,667
The raw materials.
41
00:01:33,667 --> 00:01:34,800
That's gonna make some good
42
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,567
Liquor right there.
43
00:01:35,567 --> 00:01:36,700
Money provides the
44
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:37,333
Motive.
45
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:38,300
Cold, huh?
46
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:39,500
And Winchester
47
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,233
Provides the ammunition.
48
00:01:42,233 --> 00:01:43,733
If you really love your
49
00:01:43,733 --> 00:01:46,233
Country, you're gonna have to
50
00:01:46,233 --> 00:01:49,700
Love moonshine.
51
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:51,467
Fire!
52
00:01:51,467 --> 00:01:53,067
Moonshine is a part of our
53
00:01:53,067 --> 00:01:53,700
History.
54
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:54,767
It exists but it doesn't,
55
00:01:54,767 --> 00:02:00,067
Almost like a myth.
56
00:02:00,067 --> 00:02:01,367
Bootlegging is more risky
57
00:02:01,367 --> 00:02:01,733
Now.
58
00:02:01,733 --> 00:02:06,900
All right.
59
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:08,267
You're gonna win or you're
60
00:02:08,267 --> 00:02:11,067
Gonna lose.
61
00:02:11,067 --> 00:02:11,900
Is that a cop?
62
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,267
Change vehicles and change
63
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:14,567
Tags is what you got to do.
64
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:17,700
It's the end of the season.
65
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:18,567
Money's running out.
66
00:02:18,567 --> 00:02:19,733
We got to do something to make
67
00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:22,133
Some more.
68
00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:23,167
Everyday look like I'm
69
00:02:23,167 --> 00:02:24,400
Getting deeping, trying to get
70
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Out of the getting deep.
71
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,967
This is how we're makin'
72
00:02:27,967 --> 00:02:28,700
Moonshine!
73
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:43,733
J.T., you got the shotgun?
74
00:02:43,733 --> 00:02:44,900
My name is Tim.
75
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:46,500
I've been a moonshiner at least
76
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:48,333
40 of my 45 years.
77
00:02:48,533 --> 00:02:50,400
Tim lives in
78
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,300
Virginia, smack-dab in the
79
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:54,733
Middle of moonshine country.
80
00:02:54,733 --> 00:02:56,600
Moonshine in these parts and
81
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,667
Probably in most of the southern
82
00:02:58,667 --> 00:03:00,667
United states, it is kind of a
83
00:03:00,667 --> 00:03:02,700
Tradition thing, but then again,
84
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:03,633
It's in the family.
85
00:03:03,633 --> 00:03:04,467
My father did it.
86
00:03:04,467 --> 00:03:07,300
My family tree goes back to the
87
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:10,267
Irish people 200 years.
88
00:03:10,267 --> 00:03:12,067
I was born a mechanic, and my
89
00:03:12,067 --> 00:03:13,933
Dad was a mechanic, so I don't
90
00:03:13,933 --> 00:03:15,533
Have to go and get a book
91
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:17,467
Sometimes to read and learn how
92
00:03:17,467 --> 00:03:18,833
To deal something or fix
93
00:03:18,833 --> 00:03:19,533
Something.
94
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:21,200
I can look at it, and I can fix
95
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,567
Things because I'm just made
96
00:03:22,567 --> 00:03:23,700
That way.
97
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,167
Moonshining is kind of the same
98
00:03:25,167 --> 00:03:26,433
Way.
99
00:03:26,433 --> 00:03:27,667
Moonshining dates
100
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:30,367
All the way back to the 1700s.
101
00:03:30,367 --> 00:03:32,500
Early settlers landed in
102
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:35,233
America, built their stills, and
103
00:03:35,233 --> 00:03:36,967
Started 'shining.
104
00:03:36,967 --> 00:03:40,233
Today it's a $100 million per
105
00:03:40,233 --> 00:03:43,067
Year industry, tax-free.
106
00:03:43,067 --> 00:03:44,933
The season lasts from June to
107
00:03:44,933 --> 00:03:46,767
October during the height of
108
00:03:46,767 --> 00:03:47,900
Corn harvest.
109
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,667
It's also the perfect time of
110
00:03:49,667 --> 00:03:51,433
Year for the foliage to hide the
111
00:03:51,433 --> 00:03:52,767
Still.
112
00:03:52,767 --> 00:03:54,833
Moonshine gets its name from how
113
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:55,667
It's made.
114
00:03:55,667 --> 00:03:58,067
The safest time to make it is by
115
00:03:58,067 --> 00:04:00,500
The light of the moon, away from
116
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:03,067
The prying eyes of the law.
117
00:04:03,067 --> 00:04:04,567
Ah.
118
00:04:04,567 --> 00:04:05,867
Everything been dropped off.
119
00:04:05,867 --> 00:04:07,333
Tim hits the ground
120
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:07,900
Running.
121
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:09,467
The most important ingredient he
122
00:04:09,467 --> 00:04:11,067
Needs to start making moonshine
123
00:04:11,067 --> 00:04:12,133
Is corn.
124
00:04:12,133 --> 00:04:13,367
And it's ready for pickup.
125
00:04:13,367 --> 00:04:15,700
Some guys done dropped off a
126
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:17,967
Couple of bags of corn for us.
127
00:04:17,967 --> 00:04:19,800
So we're gonna pick it up.
128
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,933
A 500-pound stash
129
00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:24,700
Of corn has been dropped off at
130
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,700
A secret location.
131
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:28,800
Tim needs to run and gun.
132
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,067
Anybody buying this much corn is
133
00:04:31,067 --> 00:04:33,500
A red flag for the law.
134
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:35,800
Tim knows what's at stake --
135
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,733
Tens of thousands in u.S.
136
00:04:37,733 --> 00:04:40,067
Dollars or his freedom.
137
00:04:40,067 --> 00:04:41,600
I'd say average moonshiner
138
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,500
Can make about $30,000 in three
139
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,133
Months.
140
00:04:44,133 --> 00:04:46,100
I have heard of some guys making
141
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:47,400
$100,000 a year, but, yeah,
142
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,733
There's money to be made out
143
00:04:48,733 --> 00:04:50,167
There as long as you don't get
144
00:04:50,167 --> 00:04:54,667
Caught at it.
145
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:55,933
A few miles to the
146
00:04:55,933 --> 00:04:58,633
West, tightsqueeze, Virginia.
147
00:04:58,633 --> 00:05:00,667
A new sheriff's in town.
148
00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:02,633
Jesse Tate's got something to
149
00:05:02,633 --> 00:05:03,200
Prove.
150
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,267
Fire!
151
00:05:07,467 --> 00:05:08,400
My name's Jesse Tate.
152
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,833
I'm a special agent for Virginia
153
00:05:09,833 --> 00:05:11,167
Department of alcohol beverage
154
00:05:11,167 --> 00:05:12,067
Control.
155
00:05:12,233 --> 00:05:13,567
Every hunter has
156
00:05:13,567 --> 00:05:14,833
Its prey.
157
00:05:14,833 --> 00:05:16,233
And in the case of the
158
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:18,133
Moonshiners, the hunters are the
159
00:05:18,133 --> 00:05:21,500
Agents of Virginia’s ABC.
160
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:23,700
During his last season, Jesse's
161
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:25,667
Predecessor pulled down 200
162
00:05:25,667 --> 00:05:26,500
Busts.
163
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,533
For Jesse, it's make or break.
164
00:05:29,533 --> 00:05:32,733
That's it.
165
00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:34,333
Millions of dollars are lost
166
00:05:34,333 --> 00:05:35,733
Every year to the state of
167
00:05:35,733 --> 00:05:37,167
Virginia because of illegal
168
00:05:37,167 --> 00:05:38,533
Whiskey sales, whether it's
169
00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:39,833
Illegally manufactured or
170
00:05:39,833 --> 00:05:41,933
Illegal sell of it.
171
00:05:41,933 --> 00:05:44,900
All right.
172
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:46,733
A lot of people think that
173
00:05:46,733 --> 00:05:48,067
'cause they got moonshine
174
00:05:48,067 --> 00:05:49,367
Whiskey, they got something
175
00:05:49,367 --> 00:05:50,900
That's a lot more powerful than
176
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:52,233
They can get at the store.
177
00:05:52,233 --> 00:05:54,067
They mystique, all that, just
178
00:05:54,067 --> 00:05:55,867
Kind of drives the enterprise.
179
00:05:55,867 --> 00:05:57,533
A clean gun is a happy gun.
180
00:05:57,533 --> 00:05:59,067
Some of the most violent crimes
181
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:00,467
That I've ever witnessed as a
182
00:06:00,467 --> 00:06:01,833
Police officer were fueled by
183
00:06:01,833 --> 00:06:02,367
Alcohol.
184
00:06:02,367 --> 00:06:03,700
And a lot of times, it was
185
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:13,600
Fueled by illegal whiskey.
186
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,933
Tim is on his way
187
00:06:14,933 --> 00:06:16,167
To pick up corn.
188
00:06:16,167 --> 00:06:18,267
Unfortunately, the police keep
189
00:06:18,267 --> 00:06:20,133
Close tabs on the supply line of
190
00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:22,433
Raw materials, but Tim has his
191
00:06:22,433 --> 00:06:23,900
Own covert method of getting
192
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:25,433
Quality ingredients.
193
00:06:25,633 --> 00:06:27,067
This time of day, you never
194
00:06:27,067 --> 00:06:28,433
Know who's out riding around.
195
00:06:28,433 --> 00:06:29,800
And we just like dropping the
196
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,867
Stuff on the side of the road,
197
00:06:30,867 --> 00:06:32,067
So you don't want no one to kind
198
00:06:32,067 --> 00:06:33,267
Of, you know, see you.
199
00:06:33,467 --> 00:06:35,067
You see like you got the general
200
00:06:35,067 --> 00:06:36,567
Public that you're running into.
201
00:06:36,567 --> 00:06:37,900
Then you got the law enforcement
202
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:39,200
That's trying to run around and
203
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,367
Try to catch you at the same
204
00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:41,633
Time.
205
00:06:41,633 --> 00:06:43,600
So right now we're gonna check
206
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Out some corn right in here
207
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,900
Where this creek's at.
208
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:50,667
It's right in them bushes right
209
00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:52,767
There.
210
00:06:52,767 --> 00:06:57,333
I see it.
211
00:06:57,333 --> 00:07:03,633
Ah, there's a car.
212
00:07:03,633 --> 00:07:05,300
He didn't see what we was doing
213
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,067
No way.
214
00:07:08,067 --> 00:07:09,267
Your stress level and blood
215
00:07:09,267 --> 00:07:10,533
Pressure's blowing out your
216
00:07:10,533 --> 00:07:13,867
Head.
217
00:07:13,867 --> 00:07:18,533
And I busted the bag.
218
00:07:18,533 --> 00:07:19,733
You know, you're looking behind
219
00:07:19,733 --> 00:07:20,833
You, on top, you're watching
220
00:07:20,833 --> 00:07:22,233
For airplanes, you're listening
221
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:25,067
To anything that moves.
222
00:07:25,067 --> 00:07:26,400
It's not easy work.
223
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,533
I don't care how you look at it.
224
00:07:29,533 --> 00:07:31,100
Okay.
225
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:43,533
Whew!
226
00:07:43,533 --> 00:07:45,967
Right on the side of the road,
227
00:07:45,967 --> 00:07:48,100
The right person shows up, he
228
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:50,400
Might want to question you about
229
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,567
What are you doing, can he see
230
00:07:52,567 --> 00:07:54,267
Your driver's license.
231
00:07:54,267 --> 00:07:55,400
Next thing you know, he might
232
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,600
Want to know why I got a
233
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,133
Shotgun.
234
00:07:57,133 --> 00:07:59,333
You know, if he ask me about the
235
00:07:59,333 --> 00:08:01,533
Shotgun, then time I get out of
236
00:08:01,533 --> 00:08:03,733
The car, then he'll want to know
237
00:08:03,733 --> 00:08:05,733
Why I got a pistol in my pocket.
238
00:08:05,733 --> 00:08:07,467
So, you know, one thing leads to
239
00:08:07,467 --> 00:08:08,500
The next.
240
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:21,100
Every season, an
241
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:23,733
Estimated 2,000 moonshiners are
242
00:08:23,733 --> 00:08:26,533
On the loose.
243
00:08:26,533 --> 00:08:28,067
Where we gonna drop off at
244
00:08:28,067 --> 00:08:28,567
Tonight?
245
00:08:28,567 --> 00:08:30,267
I think our drop-off guy take us
246
00:08:30,267 --> 00:08:31,833
Near the creek, and we'll work
247
00:08:31,833 --> 00:08:33,300
Our way through this wooded
248
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:34,167
Area.
249
00:08:34,367 --> 00:08:35,867
Jesse's already on
250
00:08:35,867 --> 00:08:37,067
The tail of one of them.
251
00:08:37,067 --> 00:08:39,067
A well-known moonshiner is
252
00:08:39,067 --> 00:08:40,967
Mounting up another run.
253
00:08:40,967 --> 00:08:42,833
A small fortune in distilling
254
00:08:42,833 --> 00:08:44,900
Equipment is prepped at a hiding
255
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:46,433
Spot deep in the woods.
256
00:08:46,433 --> 00:08:47,867
We think he got some stuff
257
00:08:47,867 --> 00:08:48,867
Stored right there.
258
00:08:48,867 --> 00:08:49,433
Yeah.
259
00:08:49,433 --> 00:08:50,800
It looks like you got an old
260
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,267
Road leading here down to this
261
00:08:52,267 --> 00:08:53,067
Creek bottom.
262
00:08:53,067 --> 00:08:54,433
All right, well, let's go
263
00:08:54,433 --> 00:08:55,267
Make it happen.
264
00:08:55,267 --> 00:09:00,100
All right.
265
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,367
I got the door.
266
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:04,100
Tonight, we're dropping off
267
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:05,300
In the woods to do some
268
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:06,400
Surveillance.
269
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,700
I think our information's pretty
270
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:08,067
Good.
271
00:09:08,067 --> 00:09:09,233
Those guys up here are making
272
00:09:09,233 --> 00:09:10,500
Some moonshine whiskey up there.
273
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:11,833
And we're gonna go see what we
274
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:13,067
Can find.
275
00:09:13,067 --> 00:09:14,700
We are right behind the bad
276
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:17,133
Guys' house up a hill little
277
00:09:17,133 --> 00:09:19,067
Bit, so we're close on that.
278
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:25,300
It's probably 75 yards uphill.
279
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:26,467
A lot of times, they are
280
00:09:26,467 --> 00:09:27,767
Experienced woodsmen, they are
281
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:28,233
Hunters.
282
00:09:28,233 --> 00:09:29,333
They know what to look for.
283
00:09:29,333 --> 00:09:30,567
It's just like you being in your
284
00:09:30,567 --> 00:09:31,067
Backyard.
285
00:09:31,067 --> 00:09:32,133
If you see something out of
286
00:09:32,133 --> 00:09:40,800
Place, something's out of place.
287
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,933
Watch for tracks.
288
00:09:44,933 --> 00:09:46,400
What we got right there is two
289
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:46,933
Pots.
290
00:09:46,933 --> 00:09:48,433
They're probably about
291
00:09:48,433 --> 00:09:50,233
450-gallon size in capacity.
292
00:09:50,233 --> 00:09:52,067
One looks brand new, never been
293
00:09:52,067 --> 00:09:54,167
Used.
294
00:09:54,167 --> 00:09:55,500
He's got a lot of money invested
295
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:56,400
In them.
296
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,900
The two 450-gallon
297
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:02,000
Pots could produce up to $2,000
298
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,067
Per week, tax-free.
299
00:10:04,067 --> 00:10:05,033
We just want to come here
300
00:10:05,033 --> 00:10:06,100
Like a ghost and get out like a
301
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:10,333
Ghost.
302
00:10:28,433 --> 00:10:31,133
We just spotted some dogs, so we
303
00:10:31,133 --> 00:10:38,733
Got to be very careful now.
304
00:10:38,733 --> 00:10:42,100
It's a big dog.
305
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,433
Coming up...
306
00:10:43,433 --> 00:10:45,267
Tim hits a roadblock.
307
00:10:45,267 --> 00:10:46,267
We got somebody trying to
308
00:10:46,267 --> 00:10:48,033
Block us on the bridge.
309
00:10:48,033 --> 00:10:49,367
And a moonshine
310
00:10:49,367 --> 00:10:50,867
Legend fires up.
311
00:10:56,867 --> 00:10:58,033
Hot on the trail of
312
00:10:58,033 --> 00:11:00,100
A moonshiner, an unexpected
313
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,400
Enemy pins down Jesse and Jim.
314
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,333
We got very lucky.
315
00:11:12,333 --> 00:11:13,700
I don't think he can figure out
316
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:15,067
What we are just yet because he
317
00:11:15,067 --> 00:11:16,500
Can't see us too good.
318
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:18,167
Most encounters with dogs don't
319
00:11:18,167 --> 00:11:19,067
Go that well.
320
00:11:19,067 --> 00:11:20,533
Jesse's cover is
321
00:11:20,533 --> 00:11:21,200
Blown.
322
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,067
He has to pull back.
323
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,633
There's somebody else in here
324
00:11:24,633 --> 00:11:25,767
With us, so we got to be
325
00:11:25,767 --> 00:11:27,100
Careful.
326
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:29,200
If you think you're just dealing
327
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,767
With just a bunch of silly
328
00:11:30,767 --> 00:11:32,500
Country boys, you'll get your
329
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:33,667
Hat handed to you.
330
00:11:33,667 --> 00:11:34,933
Because they are very good at
331
00:11:34,933 --> 00:11:35,600
What they do.
332
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,667
That's how they've been getting
333
00:11:36,667 --> 00:11:37,600
Away with it for hundreds of
334
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:37,933
Years.
335
00:11:37,933 --> 00:11:45,200
Be careful.
336
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,633
He's got it buried all the way
337
00:11:46,633 --> 00:11:48,600
Across here.
338
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,067
There's a possibility that he's
339
00:11:50,067 --> 00:11:51,433
Got an electric motor down here,
340
00:11:51,433 --> 00:11:52,567
Which is highly unusual.
341
00:11:52,567 --> 00:11:54,067
Most of the time, the pumps that
342
00:11:54,067 --> 00:11:55,067
They run for the liquor
343
00:11:55,067 --> 00:11:56,500
Operations, the stills, they run
344
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:58,200
By gas generators, get the gas
345
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,800
Pumps.
346
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:13,233
Let's pull back.
347
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:16,433
Let's pull back.
348
00:12:16,433 --> 00:12:17,933
We got a lot of good intel
349
00:12:17,933 --> 00:12:18,500
Tonight.
350
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:20,067
We just have to hunker down, be
351
00:12:20,067 --> 00:12:21,533
Patient, wait for the darkness.
352
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:22,700
We're kind of on our own, so
353
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,067
We've got to use every advantage
354
00:12:24,067 --> 00:12:25,467
We can to make sure that we get
355
00:12:25,467 --> 00:12:26,733
In safe and get out safely
356
00:12:26,733 --> 00:12:27,933
Without getting detected.
357
00:12:27,933 --> 00:12:29,800
That's the name of the game.
358
00:12:40,667 --> 00:12:42,400
Got to have a shovel.
359
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,667
Tim calls in his
360
00:12:43,667 --> 00:12:46,267
Partner in crime, a guy named
361
00:12:46,267 --> 00:12:46,900
Tickle.
362
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,600
Look at that right there,
363
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,067
That old ringer washer.
364
00:12:50,067 --> 00:12:50,933
"It's a-workin' still."
365
00:12:50,933 --> 00:12:51,933
"It's a-workin' still."
366
00:12:51,933 --> 00:12:53,133
That's right.
367
00:12:53,333 --> 00:12:54,300
My name is tickle.
368
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:57,133
And I work with Tim.
369
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,500
I like that one. "Moonshine."
370
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:01,300
Yeah.
371
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:03,400
When he calls me, I'm gonna
372
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400
Be there, no matter what the
373
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Situation.
374
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,067
That's just how this line of
375
00:13:09,067 --> 00:13:10,767
Work...Works.
376
00:13:10,767 --> 00:13:14,267
If not, you'll make one run, and
377
00:13:14,267 --> 00:13:15,933
Both of you are in jail.
378
00:13:15,933 --> 00:13:17,600
Is it like granny's recipe?
379
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,733
Yeah.
380
00:13:18,733 --> 00:13:20,067
Ancient Chinese secret.
381
00:13:20,067 --> 00:13:21,833
An old moonshiner's
382
00:13:21,833 --> 00:13:23,367
Secret for bug repellant --
383
00:13:23,367 --> 00:13:23,967
Listerine.
384
00:13:23,967 --> 00:13:25,333
We ain't gonna drink this,
385
00:13:25,333 --> 00:13:25,833
Are we?
386
00:13:25,833 --> 00:13:27,067
I hope not.
387
00:13:27,233 --> 00:13:28,733
Least it cut off some of that
388
00:13:28,733 --> 00:13:31,500
Bad breath, anyway.
389
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,667
Yeah. Yeah.
390
00:13:34,667 --> 00:13:35,300
I don't know.
391
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:36,567
We may come up with something to
392
00:13:36,567 --> 00:13:37,333
Sell to somebody.
393
00:13:37,333 --> 00:13:37,800
Yeah.
394
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,900
I've been trying to sell
395
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:40,200
Something to somebody for years,
396
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:40,700
You know.
397
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:41,733
Maybe we'll come out with
398
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:44,733
Something that's legal to sell.
399
00:13:44,933 --> 00:13:46,200
It's good money.
400
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,533
It's the type of liquor
401
00:13:47,533 --> 00:13:49,133
Everybody wants and everybody
402
00:13:49,133 --> 00:13:53,133
Loves because I guess it's the
403
00:13:53,133 --> 00:13:54,333
Forbidden liquor.
404
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:56,533
You're not supposed to have it.
405
00:13:56,533 --> 00:13:58,067
You gonna get the shotgun?
406
00:13:58,067 --> 00:13:59,700
Got to have a shotgun, right?
407
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:01,967
Moonshining's a family thing.
408
00:14:01,967 --> 00:14:03,533
And my dad and popcorn Sutton,
409
00:14:03,533 --> 00:14:05,067
They been making moonshine all
410
00:14:05,067 --> 00:14:05,500
Their life.
411
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,400
And they recently both passed
412
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:07,900
Away.
413
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:09,767
And I would like to go ahead and
414
00:14:09,767 --> 00:14:11,500
Pass it on to my son before I
415
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:12,400
Pass it away.
416
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,367
Popcorn Sutton, the
417
00:14:14,367 --> 00:14:16,400
Most notorious moonshiner that
418
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,633
Has ever lived.
419
00:14:17,633 --> 00:14:19,467
His liquor was so valued that
420
00:14:19,467 --> 00:14:21,067
People often used it as
421
00:14:21,067 --> 00:14:22,567
Currency.
422
00:14:36,867 --> 00:14:38,967
Tim follows popcorn's artisanal
423
00:14:38,967 --> 00:14:40,933
Method of making moonshine --
424
00:14:40,933 --> 00:14:42,767
Use the best water and use the
425
00:14:42,767 --> 00:14:44,433
Highest-quality ingredients
426
00:14:44,433 --> 00:14:45,467
Available.
427
00:14:56,167 --> 00:14:57,967
Moonshine season is in full
428
00:14:57,967 --> 00:14:59,067
Flow.
429
00:14:59,067 --> 00:15:01,100
Tim's first pick up of corn went
430
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,500
Off without a hitch.
431
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:04,433
But that was the easy part.
432
00:15:04,433 --> 00:15:06,800
Next step, finding a site to set
433
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,667
Up shop.
434
00:15:07,667 --> 00:15:08,933
We're in a perfect still
435
00:15:08,933 --> 00:15:09,533
Site, j.T.
436
00:15:09,533 --> 00:15:11,067
We got to find where we got
437
00:15:11,067 --> 00:15:12,100
Plenty of water.
438
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:13,733
That's always number one --
439
00:15:13,733 --> 00:15:14,567
Number one.
440
00:15:14,567 --> 00:15:16,067
The perfect site
441
00:15:16,067 --> 00:15:17,500
Needs to be near a water source
442
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:18,833
That'll be used to cool the
443
00:15:18,833 --> 00:15:21,867
Still.
444
00:15:21,867 --> 00:15:22,867
There's a whole lot of water
445
00:15:22,867 --> 00:15:23,367
Right there.
446
00:15:23,367 --> 00:15:24,333
But, yeah, that's what we need
447
00:15:24,333 --> 00:15:29,933
Back here in the woods.
448
00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:31,100
Posted property.
449
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:32,900
No fishing and trapping and
450
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:33,600
Hunting.
451
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,667
Well, we're not gonna do none of
452
00:15:35,667 --> 00:15:38,100
That.
453
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:40,800
Don't slam your door, okay?
454
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,467
I want to show my son the art of
455
00:15:42,467 --> 00:15:44,467
Making moonshine because it was
456
00:15:44,467 --> 00:15:46,367
Passed down to me, and it was
457
00:15:46,367 --> 00:15:48,433
Passed down by my father and his
458
00:15:48,433 --> 00:15:49,267
Father.
459
00:15:49,267 --> 00:15:50,867
It's important to know where it
460
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:52,333
Came from, 'cause if we lose
461
00:15:52,333 --> 00:15:53,500
That -- I don't know.
462
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:54,933
If you go another 50 years,
463
00:15:54,933 --> 00:15:56,433
Maybe no one'll know anything
464
00:15:56,433 --> 00:16:01,533
About moonshining.
465
00:16:01,533 --> 00:16:03,367
Nice cold water, but it don't
466
00:16:03,367 --> 00:16:05,700
Look like it's all that clear.
467
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:07,100
You can put your hand in it,
468
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,567
That way you can see how clear
469
00:16:08,567 --> 00:16:11,100
It is.
470
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,200
You can smell it, too.
471
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,600
You can smell it to see if it
472
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,267
Smells bad.
473
00:16:14,267 --> 00:16:15,733
Every moonshiner
474
00:16:15,733 --> 00:16:17,267
Has his own methods for finding
475
00:16:17,267 --> 00:16:19,100
His ideal water source.
476
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:21,400
Tim uses his nose to find good
477
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,367
Water.
478
00:16:22,367 --> 00:16:23,400
It smells okay.
479
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,867
I mean, it would probably be
480
00:16:24,867 --> 00:16:26,367
Good water.
481
00:16:30,267 --> 00:16:31,733
Popcorn Sutton has
482
00:16:31,733 --> 00:16:33,933
Always relied on milkweed.
483
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,700
Hear that?
484
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:06,700
People nearby.
485
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:08,300
That's what I was saying.
486
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:09,967
Go to the spot and wait and
487
00:17:09,967 --> 00:17:10,900
Listen.
488
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:12,700
See what you hear.
489
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:14,267
And I hear some people at a
490
00:17:14,267 --> 00:17:15,700
Distance doing something
491
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:16,400
Somewhere.
492
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,167
I don't know what they're doing,
493
00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:19,933
But that means they may be there
494
00:17:19,933 --> 00:17:21,200
And they can hear us.
495
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,267
If we doing something,
496
00:17:22,267 --> 00:17:23,833
Especially beating and banging,
497
00:17:23,833 --> 00:17:25,100
Making noise, water pump
498
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:26,633
Running, they're gonna pick up
499
00:17:26,633 --> 00:17:27,667
On that and come to see what
500
00:17:27,667 --> 00:17:28,467
We're doing.
501
00:17:28,467 --> 00:17:29,533
It's just not gonna work.
502
00:17:29,533 --> 00:17:30,700
So I think we ought to look
503
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:31,400
Somewhere else.
504
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,200
Okay.
505
00:17:44,367 --> 00:17:45,233
Ah, lookit.
506
00:17:45,233 --> 00:17:46,700
We've got somebody trying to
507
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:47,967
Block us on the bridge.
508
00:17:47,967 --> 00:17:50,733
That's not good.
509
00:17:50,733 --> 00:17:53,600
A woman with a shotgun. Okay.
510
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,700
I guess he ain't gonna let me
511
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:56,700
Get back.
512
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:57,800
A mean-looking character,
513
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,367
Anyway.
514
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,333
Tim and j.T.'s
515
00:18:10,333 --> 00:18:12,433
Search for a still site has
516
00:18:12,433 --> 00:18:15,800
Kicked up some trouble.
517
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,833
Ah, lookit.
518
00:18:16,833 --> 00:18:18,600
We've got somebody trying to
519
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,133
Block us on the bridge.
520
00:18:20,133 --> 00:18:22,833
Oh, they coming to get us now.
521
00:18:22,833 --> 00:18:25,067
A woman with a shotgun. Okay.
522
00:18:25,067 --> 00:18:26,533
I guess he ain't gonna let me
523
00:18:26,533 --> 00:18:30,333
Get back, I guess.
524
00:18:30,333 --> 00:18:32,267
Okay, let's see what this cat
525
00:18:32,267 --> 00:18:35,833
Wants.
526
00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:37,367
A mean-looking character,
527
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:38,400
Anyway.
528
00:18:43,167 --> 00:18:45,533
I was just driving the road.
529
00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:46,867
That's all I was doing.
530
00:18:46,867 --> 00:18:48,467
A man just called and said
531
00:18:48,467 --> 00:18:50,100
There was an old beat-up truck
532
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:51,733
Down here, didn't know what it
533
00:18:51,733 --> 00:18:52,467
Was up to.
534
00:18:52,467 --> 00:18:53,067
Yeah.
535
00:18:53,067 --> 00:18:54,600
I see you got your wife over
536
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,967
There with your shotgun.
537
00:18:55,967 --> 00:18:56,600
Yeah.
538
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,667
We'll use it, too.
539
00:18:57,667 --> 00:18:58,567
Yeah, yeah.
540
00:18:58,567 --> 00:19:00,333
Well, we got a shotgun with us,
541
00:19:00,333 --> 00:19:02,067
Too, but we don't plan to use it
542
00:19:02,067 --> 00:19:02,767
Right now.
543
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:04,467
We were just looking for a nice
544
00:19:04,467 --> 00:19:05,833
Running creek, you know.
545
00:19:05,833 --> 00:19:07,933
The shotgun is pretty good
546
00:19:07,933 --> 00:19:10,433
Because when it reaches out far,
547
00:19:10,433 --> 00:19:12,467
It spreads out, you know.
548
00:19:12,467 --> 00:19:14,967
I don't know if I ever miss with
549
00:19:14,967 --> 00:19:16,367
That shotgun.
550
00:19:16,367 --> 00:19:18,133
I mean, I can shoot from a
551
00:19:18,133 --> 00:19:19,800
Squirrel to a grown man.
552
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,067
It don't matter.
553
00:19:21,067 --> 00:19:22,967
And the farther they get away,
554
00:19:22,967 --> 00:19:25,933
The better I can hit them.
555
00:19:25,933 --> 00:19:27,200
It looks like some nice-looking
556
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,200
Creek water right here.
557
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,400
Anybody ever set up any stills
558
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,467
Around here?
559
00:19:31,467 --> 00:19:32,133
Oh, yeah.
560
00:19:32,133 --> 00:19:33,467
Plenty of them on this creek.
561
00:19:33,467 --> 00:19:34,067
Yeah?
562
00:19:34,067 --> 00:19:35,300
A lot of them on this creek?
563
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:36,667
What would you say if somebody
564
00:19:36,667 --> 00:19:38,133
Wanted to set up a still on this
565
00:19:38,133 --> 00:19:47,933
Creek somewhere around here?
566
00:19:47,933 --> 00:19:49,600
I wouldn't be able to let
567
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,333
Them do it.
568
00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:51,933
If I knew that, I'd have to get
569
00:19:51,933 --> 00:19:52,400
Them.
570
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,233
Yeah? Okay.
571
00:19:53,233 --> 00:19:54,433
You won't allow that.
572
00:19:54,433 --> 00:19:56,067
There's been plenty of them
573
00:19:56,067 --> 00:19:56,900
On here I knew.
574
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:57,467
Yeah.
575
00:19:57,467 --> 00:19:59,133
But you kind of want to keep the
576
00:19:59,133 --> 00:20:00,467
Creek right to yourself?
577
00:20:00,467 --> 00:20:01,033
Yeah.
578
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:02,533
I just don't want no trouble
579
00:20:02,533 --> 00:20:03,467
With the lawman.
580
00:20:03,467 --> 00:20:04,967
Hey, I can understand that.
581
00:20:04,967 --> 00:20:06,367
I don't want any neither.
582
00:20:06,367 --> 00:20:09,200
We just driving along, looking.
583
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,333
Thank you very much.
584
00:20:10,333 --> 00:20:11,167
Thank you.
585
00:20:11,167 --> 00:20:12,300
See you sometime.
586
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:13,933
Glad you won't be a handful.
587
00:20:13,933 --> 00:20:16,000
No. I'm good to go.
588
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Good to go.
589
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,100
So we will be going on up the
590
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:19,733
Road.
591
00:20:19,733 --> 00:20:20,667
All right.
592
00:20:20,667 --> 00:20:23,100
Outstanding.
593
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,933
What I go through.
594
00:20:27,933 --> 00:20:30,100
You would never know what I have
595
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:31,800
Been through all my life dealing
596
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,533
With people like this.
597
00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:35,467
They know damn well what we
598
00:20:35,467 --> 00:20:36,133
Doing.
599
00:20:36,133 --> 00:20:38,533
The guy's with a shotgun on a
600
00:20:38,533 --> 00:20:40,367
Four wheeler on a state private
601
00:20:40,367 --> 00:20:40,900
Road.
602
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:42,067
I mean, he's not a
603
00:20:42,067 --> 00:20:43,367
Law-enforcement guy.
604
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:45,533
I mean, I'm on a public road.
605
00:20:45,533 --> 00:20:47,600
What the hell?
606
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,100
It wasn't like I was in his
607
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:52,200
Yard.
608
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,933
But, hey, this is what you're
609
00:20:54,933 --> 00:20:55,967
Dealing with when you're in a
610
00:20:55,967 --> 00:20:56,333
Climax.
611
00:20:56,333 --> 00:20:57,700
I'm telling you.
612
00:20:57,700 --> 00:20:59,000
I don't know about redneck, but
613
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,300
We're talking about rough-neck
614
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:01,067
Here.
615
00:21:01,067 --> 00:21:02,967
Bunch of hillbillies.
616
00:21:02,967 --> 00:21:04,833
That's my neighbor, you know.
617
00:21:05,067 --> 00:21:06,500
She looked a little mean.
618
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:08,067
I wouldn't doubt she'll use it,
619
00:21:08,067 --> 00:21:14,567
Too.
620
00:21:14,767 --> 00:21:16,433
In the 1930s,
621
00:21:16,433 --> 00:21:18,400
Moonshine fever swept across
622
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,467
America.
623
00:21:19,467 --> 00:21:21,433
In Appalachia, an estimated
624
00:21:21,433 --> 00:21:23,367
1 out of every 3 people was
625
00:21:23,367 --> 00:21:24,233
'shining.
626
00:21:24,233 --> 00:21:26,500
By the 1990s, the largest
627
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:28,700
Operations were making over
628
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:30,500
1,600 gallons a week.
629
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,967
That's more than $2 million a
630
00:21:32,967 --> 00:21:35,167
Year, tax-free.
631
00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:39,633
Later that day, Tim picks up
632
00:21:39,633 --> 00:21:41,167
Tickle, and they continue their
633
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:44,267
Search for a still site.
634
00:21:44,267 --> 00:21:45,500
Hey, there's a creek down
635
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:46,367
There.
636
00:21:46,367 --> 00:21:47,833
See that water?
637
00:21:47,833 --> 00:21:48,700
Yeah.
638
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,500
A lot of moonshiners like Tim
639
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:54,233
Get misconstrued as somebody
640
00:21:54,233 --> 00:21:55,767
That just wants to break the
641
00:21:55,767 --> 00:21:58,600
Law, and that's not how it is.
642
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,967
We care about carrying on a
643
00:22:00,967 --> 00:22:01,967
Tradition.
644
00:22:01,967 --> 00:22:03,733
We want other people to know
645
00:22:03,733 --> 00:22:05,667
That this is a part of American
646
00:22:05,667 --> 00:22:06,767
Heritage.
647
00:22:06,767 --> 00:22:09,933
Moonshiners and bootleggers --
648
00:22:09,933 --> 00:22:14,900
They helped found and fund the
649
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:17,400
Declaration of independence, the
650
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,433
Funding of our very first
651
00:22:19,433 --> 00:22:21,733
Government, and if you really
652
00:22:21,733 --> 00:22:24,167
Love your country, you're gonna
653
00:22:24,167 --> 00:22:27,067
Have to love moonshine.
654
00:22:27,067 --> 00:22:29,500
All right.
655
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:31,067
I think we'll stop here and look
656
00:22:31,067 --> 00:22:33,200
At this creek, check it out.
657
00:22:46,067 --> 00:22:47,967
See, the water starts right up
658
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:48,567
There.
659
00:22:48,567 --> 00:22:50,500
Looks like maybe two different
660
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:52,067
Spots where it comes in.
661
00:22:52,067 --> 00:22:53,100
One thing about a dog is they
662
00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:53,800
Got the instinct.
663
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,800
They can tell whether or not
664
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,400
It's good water, too.
665
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,400
All right, we got to get a
666
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,233
Little bit more water.
667
00:23:01,233 --> 00:23:02,367
We have got to have a little bit
668
00:23:02,367 --> 00:23:06,767
More flow.
669
00:23:06,767 --> 00:23:08,767
We got another spring coming in
670
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:09,700
Right here.
671
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:11,267
So we got another one coming
672
00:23:11,267 --> 00:23:13,067
Thisaway and one coming in
673
00:23:13,067 --> 00:23:14,533
Thisaway.
674
00:23:14,533 --> 00:23:15,733
See, that's two coming in.
675
00:23:15,733 --> 00:23:17,200
Oh, yeah, that's a pretty good
676
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,600
Hole of water she's got into.
677
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,967
See, that dog comes in handy
678
00:23:19,967 --> 00:23:21,500
Sometimes.
679
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:22,900
We can come down that bank right
680
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:24,167
There and bring them sandbags
681
00:23:24,167 --> 00:23:27,767
In, dam it up right in there.
682
00:23:27,767 --> 00:23:29,933
We got a lot of cover.
683
00:23:29,933 --> 00:23:31,133
Looks like it's covered up
684
00:23:31,133 --> 00:23:31,800
Pretty good.
685
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,700
It's pretty thick.
686
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:33,900
Nice open spot right here.
687
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:35,967
Once I get done camouflaging, be
688
00:23:35,967 --> 00:23:37,533
Kind of hard to see it,
689
00:23:37,533 --> 00:23:39,067
Especially from the air.
690
00:23:39,067 --> 00:23:40,667
That's another thing I just
691
00:23:40,667 --> 00:23:41,333
Noticed.
692
00:23:41,333 --> 00:23:44,233
Feel how cold that water is.
693
00:23:44,233 --> 00:23:44,833
Huh?
694
00:23:44,833 --> 00:23:47,067
When it's cold like that, it
695
00:23:47,067 --> 00:23:49,467
Ain't stagnating.
696
00:23:49,467 --> 00:23:50,900
Yeah, that's good water.
697
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:52,467
That's gonna make some good
698
00:23:52,467 --> 00:23:53,667
Liquor right there.
699
00:23:53,667 --> 00:23:55,100
Why is it important to have
700
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:55,767
Cold water?
701
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:57,267
Well, cold water -- when you
702
00:23:57,267 --> 00:23:58,733
Get running and that still that
703
00:23:58,733 --> 00:24:00,167
Gets hot, we need to cool it
704
00:24:00,167 --> 00:24:01,333
Down as fast as we can.
705
00:24:01,333 --> 00:24:03,167
Then that temperature drop right
706
00:24:03,167 --> 00:24:04,867
There, that's gonna change the
707
00:24:04,867 --> 00:24:06,600
Vapor into alcohol, and that's
708
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,700
What you want.
709
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:09,067
Tastes good, too.
710
00:24:09,067 --> 00:24:10,433
Let's get back up here and
711
00:24:10,433 --> 00:24:11,867
Get these sandbags, see if we
712
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:13,300
Can't stop some of this water.
713
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:15,067
In order to make
714
00:24:15,067 --> 00:24:16,533
The water source easily
715
00:24:16,533 --> 00:24:18,400
Accessible, Tim and tickle need
716
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:26,100
To carry in dozens of sandbags.
717
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,333
The dam ensures that Tim will
718
00:24:28,333 --> 00:24:30,567
Have plenty of ice-cold water
719
00:24:30,567 --> 00:24:32,767
For making mash, cooling the
720
00:24:32,767 --> 00:24:34,600
Still.
721
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,700
Good moonshine -- it's a lot
722
00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:39,067
Of hard work.
723
00:24:39,067 --> 00:24:40,933
Them sandbags ain't light.
724
00:24:40,933 --> 00:24:42,500
You got to pick one of them
725
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,300
Things up -- it weighs 80 to 100
726
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:45,600
Pounds.
727
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,400
You can't put it all on one man.
728
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,400
It's too much work for one man.
729
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,600
Got it?
730
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,333
Yep.
731
00:24:53,333 --> 00:24:54,467
Well, we'll see what it does,
732
00:24:54,467 --> 00:24:55,533
'cause right now that's gonna
733
00:24:55,533 --> 00:24:56,233
Run over.
734
00:24:56,233 --> 00:24:57,933
We got to get some more bags.
735
00:24:57,933 --> 00:24:59,767
We got to secure this dam first.
736
00:24:59,767 --> 00:25:01,133
If we can't get no water, we
737
00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:02,167
Can't make no liquor.
738
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:03,067
That's right.
739
00:25:03,067 --> 00:25:04,167
Coming up...
740
00:25:04,167 --> 00:25:05,233
On today's operation, we're
741
00:25:05,233 --> 00:25:06,333
Gonna have some audio and video
742
00:25:06,333 --> 00:25:06,867
Equipment.
743
00:25:06,867 --> 00:25:08,100
We're gonna make a controlled
744
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:08,433
Buy.
745
00:25:08,433 --> 00:25:10,100
If anything gets funny, anything
746
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,200
Gets wrong, the word is "Help."
747
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,233
I got you.
748
00:25:13,233 --> 00:25:14,767
We got to drop them gas tanks
749
00:25:14,767 --> 00:25:15,800
Off for the gas man.
750
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,067
I'm getting them filled.
751
00:25:17,067 --> 00:25:18,267
Lay them down under here.
752
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:20,267
Make sure nobody knows.
753
00:25:31,367 --> 00:25:33,067
After a dog blew
754
00:25:33,067 --> 00:25:34,933
His covered on a stakeout, Jesse
755
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:36,533
Decides to take a different
756
00:25:36,533 --> 00:25:37,500
Approach.
757
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,100
He's gonna use undercover
758
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:40,933
Officers to gather intel on a
759
00:25:40,933 --> 00:25:42,067
New target.
760
00:25:42,067 --> 00:25:43,233
We met up with confidential
761
00:25:43,233 --> 00:25:44,467
Informant, got some information
762
00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:45,700
On a guy that's been selling a
763
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:46,367
Lot of liquor.
764
00:25:46,367 --> 00:25:48,167
You go cut the deal.
765
00:25:48,167 --> 00:25:49,967
Then you say that my man here,
766
00:25:49,967 --> 00:25:51,433
"I ain't never met you.
767
00:25:51,433 --> 00:25:52,867
I told him how you was.
768
00:25:52,867 --> 00:25:53,700
He's cool."
769
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:54,367
Okay.
770
00:25:54,367 --> 00:25:55,733
He wants the same thing.
771
00:26:05,333 --> 00:26:07,267
Their faces are
772
00:26:07,267 --> 00:26:08,900
Blurred because they're
773
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,900
Confidential informants, also
774
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:12,067
Known as c.I.S
775
00:26:12,067 --> 00:26:13,167
Do what you do best.
776
00:26:13,167 --> 00:26:14,533
Just go up there and do the
777
00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:16,100
Talk.
778
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:17,900
And try to get it there.
779
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:18,967
Just one.
780
00:26:18,967 --> 00:26:20,367
Just get one.
781
00:26:20,367 --> 00:26:22,567
Just carry a little bit extra.
782
00:26:22,567 --> 00:26:23,767
On today's operation, we're
783
00:26:23,767 --> 00:26:25,100
Gonna have some audio and video
784
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:25,667
Equipment.
785
00:26:25,667 --> 00:26:26,900
That way, you know, it helps
786
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:27,933
Make our case.
787
00:26:27,933 --> 00:26:29,167
We're gonna make this happen,
788
00:26:29,167 --> 00:26:30,233
Go make a controlled buy.
789
00:26:30,233 --> 00:26:31,533
I want you to just slip this in
790
00:26:31,533 --> 00:26:33,467
Your pocket for we can listen to
791
00:26:33,467 --> 00:26:36,200
What's going on.
792
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,467
If anything gets funny, anything
793
00:26:38,467 --> 00:26:40,067
Gets wrong, the word is "Help."
794
00:26:40,067 --> 00:26:40,567
Yeah.
795
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:42,067
We always plan for failure.
796
00:26:42,067 --> 00:26:43,400
We always plan, if this thing
797
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,733
Goes bad, this is what we're
798
00:26:44,733 --> 00:26:45,333
Gonna do.
799
00:26:45,333 --> 00:26:46,300
The word is "Help."
800
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:47,800
And I got you.
801
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,200
How much time you want to give?
802
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,767
He'll call when he leaves.
803
00:27:10,767 --> 00:27:12,400
I hate to call if he's still
804
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,900
In there, with how slow he's
805
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:14,933
Talking.
806
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,067
You did great, man.
807
00:27:39,067 --> 00:27:43,633
Let me see what you got there.
808
00:27:43,633 --> 00:27:46,400
Cold, huh?
809
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,467
This guy is a big player.
810
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:48,767
We're ready to kind of take this
811
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:50,067
Guy off and see where it's going
812
00:27:50,067 --> 00:27:51,100
To lead us.
813
00:27:58,933 --> 00:28:00,733
We got to drop them gas tanks
814
00:28:00,733 --> 00:28:01,933
Off and get them filled.
815
00:28:01,933 --> 00:28:03,400
I know a place where I can drop
816
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,900
Them off and get them filled up.
817
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:06,300
Now that Tim has
818
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:07,800
Found a still site, he needs to
819
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,967
Find the propane to fuel his
820
00:28:09,967 --> 00:28:12,300
Operation.
821
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:13,767
All right.
822
00:28:13,767 --> 00:28:15,067
Got the shotgun?
823
00:28:15,067 --> 00:28:15,767
Yep.
824
00:28:15,767 --> 00:28:18,600
Let's go.
825
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,567
You ride in the front.
826
00:28:37,067 --> 00:28:38,067
All right, we're gonna get these
827
00:28:38,067 --> 00:28:39,100
Tanks, and we'll sit them right
828
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:40,133
Here next to this trailer right
829
00:28:40,133 --> 00:28:41,167
In front.
830
00:28:41,367 --> 00:28:42,900
And then the guys will go ahead
831
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:44,200
And take care of us in the
832
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,167
Morning.
833
00:28:45,167 --> 00:28:46,600
We'll come back and load them
834
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,067
Back up, and they'll be full.
835
00:28:48,067 --> 00:28:49,167
And that way we'll take them
836
00:28:49,167 --> 00:28:50,067
Down to the site, too.
837
00:28:50,067 --> 00:28:51,300
We can actually just lay them
838
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:52,500
Down under there, under this
839
00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:53,667
Trailer right here, just lay
840
00:28:53,667 --> 00:28:54,433
Them down there.
841
00:28:54,433 --> 00:28:55,867
'cause, you know, planes or
842
00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:57,400
Whatever fly across may cause
843
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,067
Suspicion.
844
00:28:58,067 --> 00:28:59,400
That's how you get in trouble.
845
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,700
Make sure nobody knows.
846
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:06,267
Make sure nobody knows.
847
00:29:06,267 --> 00:29:09,300
Roll it now.
848
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:10,167
There you go.
849
00:29:10,167 --> 00:29:11,833
You see the bottom end of them
850
00:29:11,833 --> 00:29:14,100
Done rusted up a little bit.
851
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:16,667
I done carried them tanks for 20
852
00:29:16,667 --> 00:29:19,367
Years.
853
00:29:19,367 --> 00:29:20,700
All right.
854
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:22,833
We'll come back in the morning
855
00:29:22,833 --> 00:29:24,200
Before light and pick them back
856
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:24,500
Up.
857
00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:25,933
Should be full.
858
00:29:25,933 --> 00:29:28,533
I already made contact with the
859
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:29,300
Gas man.
860
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:31,333
Everybody makes money all the
861
00:29:31,333 --> 00:29:32,067
Way around.
862
00:29:32,067 --> 00:29:33,233
Good business all the way
863
00:29:33,233 --> 00:29:33,733
Around.
864
00:29:33,733 --> 00:29:35,067
Helps the community out and
865
00:29:35,067 --> 00:29:37,067
Makes everybody happy.
866
00:29:37,067 --> 00:29:38,100
That's for sure.
867
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:39,667
I think they need us to help
868
00:29:39,667 --> 00:29:41,133
The government in another way
869
00:29:41,133 --> 00:29:42,700
'cause the government look like
870
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:44,267
They ain't running business too
871
00:29:44,267 --> 00:29:44,700
Good.
872
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:45,267
Yeah.
873
00:29:45,267 --> 00:29:54,700
Our business is booming.
874
00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:55,933
Coming up...
875
00:29:55,933 --> 00:29:56,800
Tim presses on.
876
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,167
I don't want no snakes.
877
00:29:58,167 --> 00:29:59,767
Make sure you keep that shotgun
878
00:29:59,767 --> 00:30:01,500
Ready.
879
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:03,467
And Jesse goes in for the
880
00:30:03,467 --> 00:30:05,267
Kill.
881
00:30:21,733 --> 00:30:23,333
Tim and j.T. Are
882
00:30:23,333 --> 00:30:24,933
Ramping up preparations for the
883
00:30:24,933 --> 00:30:25,833
Still assembly.
884
00:30:25,833 --> 00:30:27,467
We got to check the creek and
885
00:30:27,467 --> 00:30:29,567
See what the creek look like.
886
00:30:43,833 --> 00:30:45,567
About 2 feet of water.
887
00:30:45,567 --> 00:30:47,367
Make sure you keep that shotgun
888
00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:47,900
Ready.
889
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:49,400
May see a snake or something
890
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,067
Down here.
891
00:30:50,067 --> 00:30:51,667
A lot of people think that
892
00:30:51,667 --> 00:30:53,767
Moonshiners got shotguns for the
893
00:30:53,767 --> 00:30:55,900
Revenue, ABC agents or whatever.
894
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:57,700
We don't want to shoot them.
895
00:30:57,700 --> 00:30:59,367
We want to run from them.
896
00:30:59,367 --> 00:31:01,267
But a snake, I kill it.
897
00:31:01,267 --> 00:31:02,967
I don't want no snakes.
898
00:31:02,967 --> 00:31:04,533
Or if I get a rabbit -- if I get
899
00:31:04,533 --> 00:31:05,933
A rabbit, now, I'm gonna get
900
00:31:05,933 --> 00:31:07,133
Him.
901
00:31:13,867 --> 00:31:15,100
Tonight, what we're gonna do,
902
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:16,300
We're gonna drop off up in the
903
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:17,467
Country, and we'll take a look
904
00:31:17,467 --> 00:31:18,400
And see what he's got.
905
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,567
And I think the information is
906
00:31:19,567 --> 00:31:20,800
Pretty good that they storing a
907
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,067
Lot of liquor right there before
908
00:31:22,067 --> 00:31:23,567
They move it up the road.
909
00:31:23,767 --> 00:31:25,400
Jesse and his
910
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,300
Partner Jim are back after dark
911
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:29,067
To track down the moonshiner
912
00:31:29,067 --> 00:31:31,833
Whose dog they ran into earlier.
913
00:31:31,833 --> 00:31:33,400
He's a pretty big supplier
914
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,867
For some of the nip joints.
915
00:31:34,867 --> 00:31:36,533
It's not uncommon for him to
916
00:31:36,533 --> 00:31:38,267
Travel to north Carolina back
917
00:31:38,267 --> 00:31:40,067
Into Pennsylvania county area.
918
00:31:40,067 --> 00:31:41,100
When they're transferring
919
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:42,267
Liquor, they're doing it this
920
00:31:42,267 --> 00:31:43,433
Time of night, so they might
921
00:31:43,433 --> 00:31:44,667
Come in on us, so we got to be
922
00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:46,500
Ready if they come in on us.
923
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:48,233
A lot of people in communities
924
00:31:48,233 --> 00:31:50,067
Will go, "Well, that's just poor
925
00:31:50,067 --> 00:31:50,933
Old such-and-such.
926
00:31:50,933 --> 00:31:52,100
He's just making a little
927
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:52,633
Liquor.
928
00:31:52,633 --> 00:31:54,067
There's nothing wrong with
929
00:31:54,067 --> 00:31:54,467
That."
930
00:31:54,467 --> 00:31:55,967
But when it ends up at the shot
931
00:31:55,967 --> 00:31:57,233
Houses and the nip joints,
932
00:31:57,233 --> 00:31:58,733
That's where the violence comes
933
00:31:58,733 --> 00:31:59,100
Out.
934
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:00,500
A lot of times at these nip
935
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:02,067
Joints, if something goes wrong,
936
00:32:02,067 --> 00:32:03,800
They don't call 911.
937
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,333
We don't find out about it till
938
00:32:05,333 --> 00:32:06,900
Somebody rolls up on the street
939
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:08,967
Beat up or stabbed or shot.
940
00:32:08,967 --> 00:32:10,633
It's a gateway to a whole
941
00:32:10,633 --> 00:32:12,333
Other atmosphere of crimes.
942
00:32:12,333 --> 00:32:13,500
All right, let's go.
943
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:14,367
Right on.
944
00:32:14,367 --> 00:32:16,167
We've had agents killed in the
945
00:32:16,167 --> 00:32:18,067
Line of duty on illegal whiskey
946
00:32:18,067 --> 00:32:18,800
Investigation.
947
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,267
It's a risk that we take very
948
00:32:20,267 --> 00:32:21,300
Seriously.
949
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:38,467
Are you ready?
950
00:32:38,467 --> 00:32:39,667
All right.
951
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:41,533
Yeah, let's go.
952
00:34:09,367 --> 00:34:11,433
Jesse has no idea
953
00:34:11,433 --> 00:34:13,600
How many moonshiners or how many
954
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,333
Guns are in the house.
955
00:34:15,333 --> 00:34:17,700
He decides to pack it in.
956
00:34:28,367 --> 00:34:29,667
The violator is gonna hope
957
00:34:29,667 --> 00:34:31,067
That it's too hot for us, that
958
00:34:31,067 --> 00:34:32,433
We are scared of the bugs, that
959
00:34:32,433 --> 00:34:33,700
We are scared of the snakes.
960
00:34:33,700 --> 00:34:35,100
He's thinking that we're gonna
961
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:36,500
Get lazy, we're gonna get lax.
962
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:37,667
That's when he's gonna let his
963
00:34:37,667 --> 00:34:38,200
Guard down.
964
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,067
I got news for him.
965
00:34:39,067 --> 00:34:39,800
We in the hunt.
966
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,900
We gonna stay in the hunt.
967
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:42,100
We've been in the hunt for a
968
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:43,200
Long time, and we'll keep
969
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,500
Checking with informants, we'll
970
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:45,833
Keep checking the area, and then
971
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:47,067
We'll be able to keep putting
972
00:34:47,067 --> 00:34:49,800
Pieces of the puzzle together.
973
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,300
Coming up...
974
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:52,867
Tim gets ready to fire up.
975
00:34:52,867 --> 00:34:54,700
When we done, it ain't going
976
00:34:54,700 --> 00:34:57,267
Back.
977
00:34:57,267 --> 00:34:58,267
Airplane.
978
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,067
With the site
979
00:35:14,067 --> 00:35:15,767
Prepped, the guys are ready to
980
00:35:15,767 --> 00:35:17,133
Bring in the largest and
981
00:35:17,133 --> 00:35:18,767
Heaviest part of the still --
982
00:35:18,767 --> 00:35:20,500
The 800-gallon pot.
983
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:24,767
Come on back.
984
00:35:24,767 --> 00:35:26,500
The still is made
985
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:27,767
Up of several parts.
986
00:35:27,767 --> 00:35:29,767
The largest is called the pot.
987
00:35:29,767 --> 00:35:31,567
That's where the alcohol is
988
00:35:31,567 --> 00:35:33,067
Actually fermented.
989
00:35:33,067 --> 00:35:35,400
These types are called submarine
990
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,967
Pots.
991
00:35:36,967 --> 00:35:42,667
Pick it up.
992
00:35:42,667 --> 00:35:45,733
Just in case it rains.
993
00:35:45,733 --> 00:35:46,800
All right.
994
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,200
In case it rains or somebody
995
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,433
Wants to look at it, right?
996
00:35:49,433 --> 00:35:50,200
Yeah.
997
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,200
If they are, they gonna be in
998
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,833
The woods looking at it.
999
00:35:56,833 --> 00:35:58,633
All right, we're going back in
1000
00:35:58,633 --> 00:36:00,500
The woods again, getting ready
1001
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:02,133
To go and load this pot up.
1002
00:36:02,133 --> 00:36:03,767
Got a little camouflage and we
1003
00:36:03,767 --> 00:36:04,600
Got the berm.
1004
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,200
Gonna take that down in here.
1005
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,733
Got to try to every time we go
1006
00:36:08,733 --> 00:36:12,467
In, to take something with us.
1007
00:36:12,467 --> 00:36:14,467
Little bit early to take the pot
1008
00:36:14,467 --> 00:36:17,567
Into the location, but I just
1009
00:36:17,567 --> 00:36:22,433
Got to get to working on it.
1010
00:36:22,433 --> 00:36:24,333
We still got to build this blind
1011
00:36:24,333 --> 00:36:25,467
To go right here.
1012
00:36:25,467 --> 00:36:27,467
If somebody does a flyover with
1013
00:36:27,467 --> 00:36:29,400
A helicopter or something or a
1014
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,833
Plane, they can see it right
1015
00:36:32,833 --> 00:36:33,833
There.
1016
00:36:33,833 --> 00:36:35,667
But if we block it off, kind of
1017
00:36:35,667 --> 00:36:37,433
Shade it a little bit, you can
1018
00:36:37,433 --> 00:36:39,100
See these pines to the right
1019
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,933
Right there -- we'll take those
1020
00:36:40,933 --> 00:36:42,867
And cut them up and we'll have
1021
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:44,167
To make a lean-to or something
1022
00:36:44,167 --> 00:36:45,100
For them to lean on.
1023
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:46,967
Anything from the air, you know.
1024
00:36:46,967 --> 00:36:48,733
If they get that close and see
1025
00:36:48,733 --> 00:36:50,600
It, then it don't matter no way.
1026
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:51,900
You know, you're done with
1027
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:53,400
Anyway if they get that close.
1028
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,800
But that's when you get them
1029
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,300
Guys with the camouflage pants
1030
00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:57,600
Walking around through the
1031
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,800
Woods.
1032
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,067
First thing you think they're
1033
00:37:00,067 --> 00:37:00,967
Hunting or something.
1034
00:37:00,967 --> 00:37:02,100
The next thing you know, you
1035
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,267
Find out he's got a badge on
1036
00:37:03,267 --> 00:37:03,967
Him.
1037
00:37:03,967 --> 00:37:07,067
Then you're in trouble.
1038
00:37:07,267 --> 00:37:10,067
All right, come on, j.T.
1039
00:37:10,267 --> 00:37:11,333
The working
1040
00:37:11,333 --> 00:37:12,433
Sections of the still are
1041
00:37:12,433 --> 00:37:14,833
Onsite and ready to assemble.
1042
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:16,367
That means Tim is close to
1043
00:37:16,367 --> 00:37:17,867
Starting his first batch of
1044
00:37:17,867 --> 00:37:18,367
'shine.
1045
00:37:18,367 --> 00:37:19,933
Just kind of want to ease it
1046
00:37:19,933 --> 00:37:20,967
Down to the ground.
1047
00:37:20,967 --> 00:37:24,867
All right?
1048
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:27,533
Whew! Pretty heavy.
1049
00:37:30,367 --> 00:37:31,300
Think about when you get it
1050
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:32,667
Full.
1051
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:34,333
About 6,000 pounds when they're
1052
00:37:34,333 --> 00:37:37,300
Full.
1053
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:38,700
So we got to make sure that's a
1054
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:40,133
Good solid foundation we set it
1055
00:37:40,133 --> 00:37:41,467
On 'cause once it's full, you
1056
00:37:41,467 --> 00:37:44,833
Ain't lifting it no more.
1057
00:37:45,067 --> 00:37:46,967
When we done, it ain't going
1058
00:37:46,967 --> 00:37:48,267
Back.
1059
00:37:48,267 --> 00:37:50,067
I'm going to leave it down here.
1060
00:37:50,067 --> 00:37:51,367
I used this thing enough.
1061
00:37:51,367 --> 00:37:52,900
I ain't working with no more.
1062
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:54,267
All right, j.T., you push a
1063
00:37:54,267 --> 00:37:59,600
Little bit.
1064
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,567
We brought in a pot still.
1065
00:38:01,567 --> 00:38:03,600
We kind of leveled up some
1066
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,400
Blocks.
1067
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,600
Steve's a good hard-working
1068
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:06,067
Digger.
1069
00:38:06,067 --> 00:38:07,500
I'll tell you, Steve’s one of
1070
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:08,933
The goodest guys you'll ever
1071
00:38:08,933 --> 00:38:09,367
Find.
1072
00:38:09,367 --> 00:38:11,067
J.T.'s learning.
1073
00:38:11,067 --> 00:38:13,067
He's getting there.
1074
00:38:13,067 --> 00:38:14,567
You think we could stand the
1075
00:38:14,567 --> 00:38:15,967
Thing up and spin it around
1076
00:38:15,967 --> 00:38:18,133
Close and roll it down on it?
1077
00:38:18,133 --> 00:38:19,267
I mean, I don't know.
1078
00:38:19,267 --> 00:38:20,600
You know better than I do.
1079
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:21,933
If you got four people.
1080
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:22,500
Yeah.
1081
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:24,833
Right now we're 2 1/2...
1082
00:38:24,833 --> 00:38:27,067
2 3/4.
1083
00:38:27,067 --> 00:38:29,367
Get on each side, kind of
1084
00:38:29,367 --> 00:38:30,400
Pushing.
1085
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,233
Come on with it.
1086
00:38:32,233 --> 00:38:34,100
There you go.
1087
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:36,067
Got the still set on top of the
1088
00:38:36,067 --> 00:38:36,633
Blocks.
1089
00:38:36,633 --> 00:38:39,067
That's good.
1090
00:38:39,067 --> 00:38:41,167
All right. Clear.
1091
00:38:41,167 --> 00:38:41,967
All right.
1092
00:38:41,967 --> 00:38:43,367
Tell you one thing -- looks
1093
00:38:43,367 --> 00:38:44,333
Pretty damn good.
1094
00:38:44,333 --> 00:38:45,633
Oh, yeah.
1095
00:38:45,633 --> 00:38:47,167
All right, getting this homemade
1096
00:38:47,167 --> 00:38:49,400
Burner for 800-gallon still.
1097
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,800
We done got the burner fitted
1098
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,133
Under the still, so I think
1099
00:38:52,133 --> 00:38:55,133
That's gonna work out good.
1100
00:38:56,733 --> 00:38:58,067
We got water look like it's
1101
00:38:58,067 --> 00:38:58,700
Working good.
1102
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:00,533
We're gonna add some extra black
1103
00:39:00,533 --> 00:39:02,100
Pipe so I think we can reach
1104
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:03,367
Everything.
1105
00:39:03,367 --> 00:39:04,800
Hopefully it'll all work out
1106
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,567
Pretty god.
1107
00:39:07,567 --> 00:39:09,167
First ingredients -- we got to
1108
00:39:09,167 --> 00:39:09,900
Have water.
1109
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:11,367
So we got to fill it up with
1110
00:39:11,367 --> 00:39:12,500
Water about at least
1111
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:14,433
Three-quarters full.
1112
00:39:14,433 --> 00:39:16,867
Moonshining is a special art.
1113
00:39:16,867 --> 00:39:19,367
It's proven that what you put in
1114
00:39:19,367 --> 00:39:20,800
Is what you're gonna get out.
1115
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,833
You gonna put some sugar in it.
1116
00:39:24,833 --> 00:39:26,667
We know the humidity changes
1117
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:27,333
Things.
1118
00:39:27,333 --> 00:39:29,167
We know the different season
1119
00:39:29,167 --> 00:39:30,300
Changes things.
1120
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:32,300
The temperature changes things.
1121
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:33,833
But most of the time, it's the
1122
00:39:33,833 --> 00:39:35,100
Mash -- it's the raw goods that
1123
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:36,367
You put in is what the finished
1124
00:39:36,367 --> 00:39:39,067
Product is coming out.
1125
00:39:39,067 --> 00:39:40,467
You're gonna put some water and
1126
00:39:40,467 --> 00:39:41,133
Sugar in it.
1127
00:39:41,133 --> 00:39:43,200
That's the main ingredients.
1128
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,700
Then we put some cornmeal in it.
1129
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:47,533
I don't really want to get into
1130
00:39:47,533 --> 00:39:49,333
Detail of how much percentages
1131
00:39:49,333 --> 00:39:51,167
Of stuff, but it's a whole lot.
1132
00:39:51,167 --> 00:39:52,267
I really can't show you
1133
00:39:52,267 --> 00:39:53,667
Everything we do because we're
1134
00:39:53,667 --> 00:39:55,067
Gonna get in trouble with the
1135
00:39:55,067 --> 00:39:55,367
Law.
1136
00:39:55,367 --> 00:39:57,633
We put some barley mix in it,
1137
00:39:57,633 --> 00:40:00,067
And then we add a little yeast
1138
00:40:00,067 --> 00:40:01,600
To get it going.
1139
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,900
The mash is a mix
1140
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,300
Of water, corn, and sugar, which
1141
00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:08,300
Is heated until it boils.
1142
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:10,967
Once it cools, yeast is added to
1143
00:40:10,967 --> 00:40:12,633
Begin fermentation.
1144
00:40:14,667 --> 00:40:16,100
Airplane.
1145
00:40:23,767 --> 00:40:26,500
May have to listen for that
1146
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:29,267
Again, see if he flies over
1147
00:40:29,267 --> 00:40:32,000
Again in the same direction
1148
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,867
'cause they start marking a
1149
00:40:33,867 --> 00:40:35,733
Grid, and they start going,
1150
00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:38,600
Coming across.
1151
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,900
Yeah, and they keep --
1152
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:42,933
Long as he doesn't fly in the
1153
00:40:42,933 --> 00:40:44,967
Same grid again, then I'll be
1154
00:40:44,967 --> 00:40:45,467
Okay.
1155
00:40:45,467 --> 00:40:47,300
One good thing about it is if
1156
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:48,967
We can't see them, they can't
1157
00:40:48,967 --> 00:40:50,400
See us.
1158
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,900
That's right.
1159
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:56,767
Put that tarp back on it.
1160
00:40:56,767 --> 00:40:58,167
Now, right in here I can see
1161
00:40:58,167 --> 00:40:59,600
That the light's coming in on
1162
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,933
Those white bags, the sandbags.
1163
00:41:01,933 --> 00:41:03,167
I might have to get some
1164
00:41:03,167 --> 00:41:04,633
Camouflage and put over top of
1165
00:41:04,633 --> 00:41:05,233
That.
1166
00:41:05,233 --> 00:41:07,333
If a plane comes over, he may
1167
00:41:07,333 --> 00:41:08,967
See that dam there and wonder
1168
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:10,967
Why someone put a dam in a creek
1169
00:41:10,967 --> 00:41:12,433
Out in the middle of the woods.
1170
00:41:12,433 --> 00:41:13,900
We want everything under cover.
1171
00:41:13,900 --> 00:41:15,233
That's something you learn in
1172
00:41:15,233 --> 00:41:15,767
The army.
1173
00:41:15,767 --> 00:41:18,267
Cover and concealment.
1174
00:41:18,267 --> 00:41:19,267
Camouflage.
1175
00:41:19,267 --> 00:41:21,133
Got to blend in with your
1176
00:41:21,133 --> 00:41:22,667
Background.
1177
00:41:22,667 --> 00:41:26,633
I've got to do some painting.
1178
00:41:26,633 --> 00:41:28,267
Tim is putting the
1179
00:41:28,267 --> 00:41:29,800
Final touches on the still by
1180
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,167
Camouflaging the proofing
1181
00:41:31,167 --> 00:41:32,367
Barrel.
1182
00:41:32,367 --> 00:41:34,267
The proofing barrel is where the
1183
00:41:34,267 --> 00:41:36,067
Distilled moonshine is diluted
1184
00:41:36,067 --> 00:41:37,133
With water.
1185
00:41:37,133 --> 00:41:39,133
Undiluted moonshine can be
1186
00:41:39,133 --> 00:41:40,100
Lethal.
1187
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:42,667
Got to cover tracks.
1188
00:41:42,667 --> 00:41:44,400
Got to make sure that you don't
1189
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:45,333
Get in trouble.
1190
00:41:45,333 --> 00:41:47,067
I never want to get in trouble.
1191
00:41:47,067 --> 00:41:48,600
Get in trouble, and then it's
1192
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,067
Hard to get out of trouble.
1193
00:41:50,067 --> 00:41:51,700
Keeps going downhill.
1194
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:54,600
You never go up. You go down.
1195
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:06,467
Not there. Right here.
1196
00:42:06,467 --> 00:42:08,133
I got this area right here I
1197
00:42:08,133 --> 00:42:09,500
Need to build a blind.
1198
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:11,367
Look like we're getting a lot of
1199
00:42:11,367 --> 00:42:12,433
Traffic in here.
1200
00:42:12,433 --> 00:42:14,100
And you can kind of see it's
1201
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:20,300
Getting a little slick looking.
1202
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:22,267
Pile up anything right in this
1203
00:42:22,267 --> 00:42:27,600
Area.
1204
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,100
Kind of like somebody just, you
1205
00:42:29,100 --> 00:42:30,400
Know, cut some firewood or
1206
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,733
Something there and left it
1207
00:42:31,733 --> 00:42:33,067
There.
1208
00:42:33,067 --> 00:42:34,500
There's a small percentage that
1209
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:35,833
Someone is accidentally gonna
1210
00:42:35,833 --> 00:42:38,067
See this from the air, anyway.
1211
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:42,900
This season on
1212
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:43,833
"Moonshiners"...
1213
00:42:43,833 --> 00:42:45,533
Moonshining is a special art.
1214
00:42:45,533 --> 00:42:46,933
It ain't made in china.
1215
00:42:46,933 --> 00:42:47,767
Damn right!
1216
00:42:47,767 --> 00:42:49,367
But you do need to know how
1217
00:42:49,367 --> 00:42:50,933
To do it, or you could wind up
1218
00:42:50,933 --> 00:42:52,433
Killing yourself.
1219
00:42:54,233 --> 00:42:56,300
A sacred rite never
1220
00:42:56,300 --> 00:42:59,500
Seen before on television.
1221
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:00,900
When I show up with
1222
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:02,733
Moonshine, I've got a reputation
1223
00:43:02,733 --> 00:43:04,167
Of having some of the best.
1224
00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:05,900
*bleep*
1225
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:07,133
End up drunk.
1226
00:43:07,133 --> 00:43:10,467
Yeehaw!
1227
00:43:10,467 --> 00:43:11,567
And mother nature
1228
00:43:11,567 --> 00:43:12,867
Strikes back.
1229
00:43:12,867 --> 00:43:14,200
When he said this hurricane
1230
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,500
Or something is coming in, we
1231
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:16,933
Got to pick up everything we can
1232
00:43:16,933 --> 00:43:18,167
And get out of here.
1233
00:43:18,167 --> 00:43:19,900
The law makes its
1234
00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:20,233
Move.
1235
00:43:20,233 --> 00:43:21,300
Soon as you're finished,
1236
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:22,467
That's when they're waiting for
1237
00:43:22,467 --> 00:43:22,767
You.
1238
00:43:22,767 --> 00:43:25,100
ABC agents and everything else.
1239
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:25,667
Stop!
1240
00:43:25,667 --> 00:43:26,733
Got a nip joint.
1241
00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:28,267
There's no rules, regulations.
1242
00:43:28,267 --> 00:43:29,600
It's just a free-for-all.
1243
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,967
You getting ready to go to jail.
1244
00:43:30,967 --> 00:43:32,333
You just lay there and be quiet.
1245
00:43:32,333 --> 00:43:33,700
The season has just
1246
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:34,767
Started.
1247
00:43:34,767 --> 00:43:35,933
Who knows how it's gonna end?
1248
00:43:35,933 --> 00:43:37,067
I'm getting a little bit
1249
00:43:37,067 --> 00:43:37,467
Nervous.
1250
00:43:37,467 --> 00:43:38,533
That's for sure.
1251
00:43:39,433 --> 00:43:40,733
I got an emergency.
1252
00:43:40,733 --> 00:43:42,267
I'm gonna have to go.
