It's an almost impossible
corner to make.

Look out!

On this "Gold Rush."

We got a boating
accident out here.

In scribner creek, we got
a guy busted up pretty bad.

All right, man,
back in the truck.

Just like the old days.

I think I got a hole
in the radiator.

Get that camera off me.

Are we at that point in
the year where we can't win?

Why do you need eggs?

To hopefully fix some leaks.

Are you ready?

Feels really good to
break 4,000 ounces.

For the first time,

I'm starting to think that
we'll actually do six.

We'll break records
if we keep this up.

As long as we keep
the plants running,

we should get there.

With six weeks left.

Before the klondike
winter freeze sets in,

Parker schnabel has mined
almost $5 million of gold.

We're on track.
We're on track, yeah.

That...!

He's well on his way.

To hitting his
$7.2 million jackpot.

Got Brennan down in
big red, he's doing great.

Dean's doing a really
good job at sluicifer.

Mitch bouncing between the two
keeping everything running.

On his massive 61 acre cut.

Parker's hit the best
pay streak of his career.

We've had really good gold here.

I might get exited.

Foreman Dean is
running sluicifer 24/7,

and half a mile away
Brennan is pounding

the pay dirt through big red.

Hey, at the end of the day
I'm the best there is

and Parker'd be
without me.

Yeah.

With his operation running well.

Parker has taken on
a brand new project.

What are you building?

I thought we already
mined all this.

I'm building an oval.

For what?

The boats.

No way, you've got 'em?

Yeah, they finally made it.

Parker's custom made
jet boats.

Took six months to
design and build.

Now, they're finally
ready to hit the water.

We'll have a race track.

Nice little circle
track going on.

They're the first things that've

put a big smile on my
face in a long time.

You gotta have some fun
every once in a while.

- Right.
- How fast are they supposed to go?

When they were testing it,
it did 70 mile an hour.

I like everything about it.

You can get yourself
in trouble in a hurry,

and we will.

Oh, yeah.

Tonight, you down?

Yeah, let's do it man.

Mitch blaschke has
been Parker's friend.

And mechanic for
the past four years.

See you on the racetrack.

Give me a call on the radio when
you're ready.

You guys ain't coming?

The boats use
super-charged jet ski engines.

And can do zero to 50
in three seconds.

It's that almost
impossible corner to make.

That's one way to
end up on the beach.

It's tougher than
I thought it would be.

You've gotta be firing on all
cylinders from here on out.

Rick ness is mining
the downstream cut,

but recently his gold
production has taken a dive.

Last week's gold total
was really disappointing,

we can't have that
anymore or we're

just not gonna hit our target.

He's still a quarter
of a million dollars short.

Of hitting his $1.2 million
season goal.

Did I tell you when I'm done
I'm taking this thing home

with me and I'm gonna
put it in my back yard.

I'm sure your boys
will be excited,

but the neighbors aren't
gonna be too thrilled.

I was gonna build
them a tree house,

but I'd rather have an excavator
than a tree house.

Terry's in
the downstream cut.

Struggling to get a full load
of pay into Ben's rock truck.

I'm scraping frozen pay dirt.

I'm getting a little
bit off the top,

enough to keep one truck moving.

Up at the plant,
Ryan's running low on pay.

If things keep going
the way they are,

the reality is we're
gonna run out of pay here,

probably within
the next two days.

Ben, you got it on?

Copy.

I think I might
have one or two more

and then we'll get the hell out
of this slop.

Copy.

All right I'm done.

Yeah, Rick's here right now.

We can figure it out
between the three of us.

That's it, I need a ripper
down here or something

if we're gonna
continue to move on.

Honestly nobody rips gravel,

nobody that wants to
make money rips gravel.

It's expensive.

I get it.

Well, we're just sitting here
scratching at the surface,

you know, and we haven't
made much headway

in the last couple days.

No, but we're there,
that's where we're at.

We've got nothing thawed.

Let's start ripping some of it.

Hopefully we don't
grenade or dozer.

All right.

Let's get that dozer down here,
start ripping, see what happens.

All right. Excellent.
See ya in a bit.

The pay dirt is
frozen, compacted gravel.

Ripping it will put a huge
strain on Rick's only dozer.

A breakdown now could
cost him the season.

Yeah, no one uses a dozer
up here through the gravel,

so literally we're killing
the machine right now.

Not looking good, I think I
got a hole in the radiator.

Definitely see
antifreeze spewing.

Hey, Rick, do you
have a copy, Rick?

Yep, go for Rick.

I think I sprung
a leak in the radiator.

You're kidding me.

It's always something.

What the.

It's down to mechanic
Carl rosk.

To figure out a solution.

- So what do you wanna do?
- I wanna pull the cages

and then we'll go from there.

All right.

We can't afford
any more days off.

We're at the end of
this season here,

and without the dozer
being in place and running

we're screwed.

So, we're watching the wheels
in Carl's head turn right now.

Don't disturb him.

Smoke's a pouring man.

Cause he's like a wild animal.

It's like poking a wild bear.

We don't know what
he's going to do next.

I'm going to the parts.

But it's probably gonna
be something stupid.

You.

Cause if we could fix it
here we're saving days,

which in turn would be
thousands of dollars.

This thing's
a exhaust,

like holy we're.

Well how hard is it to get
a radiator replacement?

They can get em right,
but it's gonna be a couple days.

Hey Dunn, can you get me some
antifreeze and some eggs?

No problem.

Ooh, yum, yum.

Instead of waiting days.

For a replacement radiator,

Carl attempts
a last ditch bush fix.

Carl...

I brought your eggs.
Yeah, buddy.

Why do you need eggs?

Hopefully fix some leaks.

To stop the leaks,

Carl will crack
two eggs into the radiator,

start the engine, and the eggs
will cook in the hot water.

And if he's right
the scrambled eggs

should block the holes
fixing the radiator.

It's our last hope
really, these eggs,

not a permanent fix, right,

but if you can slow it down it'd
be awesome right?

Let's do it.
Crack em on in.

Get some shell in there?

No shell.

Start with two eggs
and see what's up.

That went right in there
like nothing buddy.

Nothing.
Ready?

This works, so free
to fire up buddy.

Okay, coming up.

Carl! Carl, good job man.

DAWSON CITY, YOU GOT A COPY?

WE GOT A BOATING ACCIDENT OUT
HERE AT SCRIBNER CREEK.

WE GOT A GUY BUSTED UP
PRETTY BAD.

WE NEED AN EMERGENCY
MEDEVAC, NOW.

Last night Mitch and I
went on a jet boat ride.

That resulted in
a pretty bad crash,

and it's a pretty serious
up on my part.

Parker was driving
the jet boat at high speed,

hit a rock,
and landed on top of Mitch.

I feel like a real
piece of.

Went out around the river,
Parker was doing really good,

but we came around a corner
and just a wall of rocks,

nowhere to go.

We almost made it through,
but we didn't.

Hit the rock boat, leaned up on
the right-hand side

I went into
the side of the boat.

Parker came into me,

I heard a big snap...
And I've broke bones before,

I know what that sound is.

I knew right when it
happened it was broke,

so I just grabbed
onto my raincoat

and just held 'er tight
and started walking out.

It was probably about two miles

from where we had
to park the boats

to where we could get
back to the pickups.

Got a helicopter
and here we are.

Operator Zack Smith.

Was at the scene
of the accident.

Mitch was in a lot of pain.

There was a 20 minute
truck ride back to camp

and that road is not smooth,

so you can just imagine being in

that much pain shaking
around in that truck.

He's a real trooper, man,
I really respect that dude.

It's really to see
that Mitch is down, you know.

It's probably gonna
really affect this season.

We're at 6,000 ounce goal
that we set.

Timing couldn't have been worse.

I think he's got a broken arm.

I'm just gonna see him now.

I feel terrible.

Hello.

Hey, man.

What's up, buddy?

Mitch.

Here's the X-ray.

Oh my.

Yeah, I don't think
there's a question there.

Yeah, I'm not a doctor,

but I'm pretty sure it's not
supposed to look like that.

Sounds like we gotta get some
plates and some screws

and beef 'er up a little bit.

It's kinda like
breaking a wash plant,

sometimes you gotta put
some more parts on it

to get it back together.

I'm so sorry man.

Hell, we just stopped real quick

and my arm was the softest thing

between the side
of the boat and us.

We did stop in a hurry.
Yeah.

Oh, my.

Well, man, I mean,
it coulda been way worse.

It coulda been.
Yeah.

Two more cars, one plane.

No worries.

The nearest
orthopedic surgeon.

Is at whitehorse hospital,

330 miles away.

We don't got too many days
of the season left though,

I just feel like the guy that
gets shot down

on his last mission
there, you know?

Right.

Are you good?
Yeah, I'm all right.

All right, well.

Have a safe flight.

Yep, I'll see you in a few days.

Yeah, me or the camp phone

anytime you need anything.

Okay, thanks.

It's my own damn fault,
but this is

the last thing we
needed this season

and this last thing
Mitch needs in his life.

Mitch is much less
of an employee

and more of a, you know,

friend and I just don't want
him to be any lasting issues,

you know.

Like, I mean the gold.

I just hope he's all right.

Tony beets is running.

A massive 500 yards an hour
through three wash plants.

Dredge one,

Monica's wash plant,

and his newly
renovated pierson box.

Tony has reached
a major milestone.

Every part of his second dredge
is on the claim

ready to be assembled.

Three years ago.

Tony spent a million dollars
buying the dredge.

It's taken two years,

and more than 30 barge loads
to transport it

on a mega-journey
160 miles across the Yukon.

Tony has summoned his children,
Monica, Kevin,

and Mike,
to help him piece

his 72 year old
dredge back together.

It's about time.

On the bright side
it's all here finally.

The beets family
has already built.

A dry dock on gold-rich ground.

Next, they'll assemble
steel pontoons

that together form the hull.

Once the rest of the dredge
is constructed,

they will flood the dry dock
and start mining

the gold-rich pay dirt.

They have just
six weeks to do it all

before the klondike freeze
sets in.

Monica starts by
dragging the pontoons.

Into the dry dock
with the loader.

We just got the first one in,

now we're gonna go get
the second and the third.

Before you know it we'll
have people bolting

this together
and dredge number two

will be well on its
way to being built.

Third pontoon,

in and down.

Woo.

Mike brings in the 50 ton crane.

To lift the pontoons
into position.

Am I good to release it?

Kev, you wanna jump
in there real quick.

And put some nuts on those?

- That one there?
- Yeah, there's nuts.

It will take 6,000 bolts.

To secure the pontoons together.

Right now it's crunch time,
all hands are on deck.

We're trying to get
this thing put together.

Makes another pontoon.

The final pontoon
is twice the size.

Of the others.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Next, Mike must inch.

The 28 ton pontoon
precisely into place...

So that it's bolts align.

The crane has ripped
one of the d-rings.

Clean off the pontoon.

Tony re-rigs the chain.

And at last, the final
piece is in place.

So, what do you think?

Yeah, that's impressive.

There's a single
crack on the weld,

but it took the whole deck off.

You should hang that on your
door, a new door knocker.

Tony beets is one step
closer to his dream.

Of running a fleet
of gold dredges.

This was a great start,
this went fantastic.

What happened with Mitch
has shaken me up a fair bit,

but we're taking good care
of him so that's good.

Two days ago,

Parker crashed
his new jet boat,

slamming into his buddy, Mitch.

Here's the X-ray.

Oh, my.

Parker broke
Mitch's arm in two places.

I'm so sorry, man.

Back on the claim,
things are falling apart.

I just rapping on
the camper here.

Parker's second mechanic,

Chad paullus,
has quit.

Basically Parker and I
just don't get along.

And I've put up with
it for three years,

so I think it's finally time
that I just move on

to maybe not bigger things,

but definitely
some better things.

To make matters worse,

two more crew
have walked out on Parker.

We've lost a lot of people.

We've lost Mitch,
and that's a big blow to us.

It could cost us the season.

I haven't seen Parker.

Parker's claim is in crisis,

and his 6,000 ounce gold
at risk.

But the mine boss is
locked away in his trailer

still distraught about
breaking Mitch's arm.

Sometimes it's pretty
tough to do this.

It's pretty tough to keep going.

What was I thinking,
and I should have just,

I'm just kicking myself for
not being alone in there.

Like at the end of the day,

it should be me that's
all up, not him.

Parker was driving the boat
when they crashed

and he's taking it
probably harder than Mitch.

He feels that he's pretty
much destroyed Mitch's career,

but I honestly believe
he'll bounce back.

Parker's taking it really hard.

Parker.
Yeah.

How you doing, youngin?

How's Mitch doing?

You got him down to
whitehorse, taken care of okay?

Yeah, I'm just feeling
like a piece of.

I know you feel bad.

Who wouldn't.

But things happen,
he understands that.

He knows that.

It's stacked on top
of a bunch of

that I already blame myself for,

Rick leaving,

Ashley leaving.

I don't know why I do
this anymore.

I would say lonely
and depressed,

but really I'm just feeling
sorry for myself.

Yeah, which is...

Which is pretty stupid, but...

What's happens happened.

Yeah, just takes me
longer and longer every day

to convince myself that
this is all worth it.

Well, you can sit up
here and smother yourself

in self pity, or you
can get out there

and be a leader again.

Everything I touch
turns to.

Honestly that's
how I feel.

How can you say that?

We're on schedule for our goal

even though we
started a month late.

That's all you Parker.

And now is the time
where you can't stop.

This is the final
push of the season.

I get that, right?

Okay.
I get that.

I mean, if the team
can't score a touchdown

without a quarterback,
you're the quarterback.

You're not the boss anymore,
you're a leader.

You have to get out in the cuts

and show people that
you're out there.

You're in it.

It's the encouragement.

You can do it, yeah?

Yeah.

Okay, buddy, I gotta go.

You take care, right.

Jump in there man.

- Yeah, I'll be all right.
- You'll make it, you'll be all right.

We'll catch ya later, youngster.

Thanks Chris.

These guys need some sleep,

so I'm gonna go
run the flat here.

You know Chris is right,

I'm definitely gonna
have to step up

and we can get
through the season.

You think back to when
I first started mining

with my grandpa,
at big nugget mine

and I never in a thousand years

thought it would
turn out like this.

It's been a great experience,

I mean you look at like
my grandpa and what

a great way for him to
spend the last, you know,

half dozen years of his life.

He loved it.

He loved the mining.

He loved coming up here
and seeing all this stuff.

Kinda reminds me why I'm up here

and why I still do this
cause sometimes I wonder.

Pay pile's pretty small.

It's two days since
Rick's crew.

Ripped the frozen pay
in the downstream cut.

- Hey, Rick, you got a copy?
- Yeah, go for Rick.

Yeah, man, got some good news

this pay dirt's
thawed out enough

and looks like some
pretty good too.

THAT'S AWESOME.

LET'S GET IT RUN
THROUGH THE PLANT.

I'll just run the truck I guess.

You're gonna go
in the rock truck?

All right.

It's been a while, but
I've spent a lot of hours

in those things so I'm pretty
sure I can still do it.

ALL RIGHT, MAN,
BACK IN THE TRUCK.

Hauling some pay dirt
just like the old days.

Yeah, man, it's been a while.

I'm excited, this
truck is a lot nicer

than the one I spent
a lot of hours in.

Hey, Rick?

Yeah, go ahead.

Yeah, you might wanna
take it out of reverse

while I load ya.
Easy now, easy.

I don't even know what half
these buttons in this thing do.

Okay, that one's
going to the pay pile,

you remember where that is?

Try not to get lost Harry.

Rick's back on track.

To hit his $1.2 million goal.

I'm strangely into it.

What the hell is that?

Me, really?

That doesn't look good at all.

Rick, do you copy?

Yeah, go ahead.

Something's going
on with this loader,

the bucket's not working
the way it should.

We're gonna have to
shut the plant down.

You gotta be
kidding me.

I wish I was, man.

Kidding me?

Get that camera off me.

If we're waiting on
a new pin, it could be days,

but I'm gonna do
whatever I have to do

to keep the plant going.

Rick ness isn't
running any pay.

At the downstream cut.

The winter freeze is coming,
and every second counts...

But his loader's busted,

so he can't feed
dirt Reynolds.

- Not good.
- Just watch yourself, Ron.

It's not clean in half.

A new loader pin
would cost only $600,

but will take days to arrive.

And every hour
the plant is down.

Could cost Rick
$1,000 in lost gold.

So were you at that
point in the year

where you can't win?

It sure seems that way, buddy.

Holy.

To get the loader
up and running.

As fast as possible,

Carl is going
to attempt a bush fix.

So we'll tack it
and then we're gonna.

Gouge a big chunk out
and then we're going fill it

full of welds.

First he tacks
the two parts together.

Gouged it out so now
we're gonna weld it,

preheat, and then we're gonna
cool it down nice and slow,

right, so that we don't
temper it too much.

Next, Carl heats the pin.

To help the welds stick.

This pin could
make the difference.

Between us making
our goal or not, right?

So this is how we're doing it.

The steel electrode
melts at 2,500 degrees.

Perfect!

That looks good!

I like it!

So another long day.

Tomorrow morning,
grind it down, sand it down,

and then we're gonna Polish it.

And then we're going to try
and get it back in there.

I got a big hammer.

We'll get this thing in there.

Fourteen hours after
the break.

I worked all hours of
the night last night.

Cleaning it up now and we're
gonna try stuffing it in,

hopefully that works.

Just like that, bro.

There ya go!

Good!

Put her to work.

Holy. Is that Ryan
coming in the loader?

Ryan, is that you in the loader?

It's me, man.
Carl got on it.

Hammered that pin out
and it looks pretty good.

I think we are good to run.

Fire it up!

Awesome!
Thanks Carl.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi, how are you?

Hey, Tony!

Oh, well, we're here.

Got a little bit of it.

So those pontoons went together
pretty nice.

Besides starting to
assemble his new dredge,

Tony beets has
been working hard

on his $7.2 million season goal.

This week dredge 1,

Monica's wash plant,

and the renovated Pearson box
were all running strong.

Two dredges, the Pearson box,
a shaker deck...

See the grays?

So let's start with
the Pearson box.

10,

40, 50,

60, 70,

80.

3, 4.

So 84.58...

Worth around $100,000.

This is the dredge.

Let's do this thing.

1... 8... 25

30,

55, 60,

65, 70, 75, 80.

82.52...

Worth another
$100,000.

Don't blame this on me.

He took off because his
girlfriend was here.

Can you blame me?

You wouldn't have taken
time off for the wedding

if she wasn't invited.
No you wouldn't have.

Probably not.

So now that we've done
the two little ways,

let's do where the real gold is.

Fight you, child.
Not a child.

Listen.
Well, let's just pour.

Let's do it!
Okay, let's do it.

36.

The competition
is pitting brother.

Against sister.

160, 170, 180

184.04.

Worth $220,000.

Don't seem like much of
a competition anymore.

It seems like
an outright slaughter.

Hey, now!
Yup, it does.

I'm feeling so
attacked right now.

Oh, my!

So do you guys want to know
what your weekly total is?

To stay on target,
Tony needs 530 ounces.

That's 351.14.

That's kinda lean.

Almost 200 ounces short.

And nearly 1,000 ounces
behind rival Parker schnabel,

but Tony still pulled
in over $420,000.

So our season total is 3,165.7
so we are halfway there,

but we are running
out of time so...

Sounds like a plan!

See ya later!

In the Yukon capital,
whitehorse,

Parker's mechanic,
Mitch, is on the mend.

This is Mitch blaschke,

coming at you live from
the Yukon hospital here.

I broke my radius and my ulna
in my right arm

which is the two bones
that connect

between your wrist
and your elbow.

Got 13 screws
and a couple plates.

It's all put back together.

Not gonna say it's
as good as new,

but, hey, all that hardware in
there, maybe it's better.

Couple of days be
back at the mine site

to finish off the season.

- Carla!
- Hi, everyone!

You got gold?

I do, yeah.

Rick ness and his
greenhorn crew.

Are ready for their
weekly weigh in.

Carl you were throwing
groceries at machines.

Yeah, pretty much.

And egg in the radiator.

You did an egg-celent
job on that!

The real impressive
one was the pin

in that loader though.

I thought that loader was
going to be down for days.

Way to step it up, Carl.
You did a great job!

With all we went through,
I hope it's worth it.

Carla you think it is?

Let's see what we got.
Is it empty?

I've seen way better.

That's a joke.

See what we got.

To hit his
1,000 ounce target,

Rick needs 34 ounces a week.

28.20...

Worth just $34,000,

his lowest gold weigh
of the season.

We are banging our heads
against the wall all week

and to get that is
a slap in the face.

Clean ups like this we're
not going to get to our goal.

We're just not.

I think we're just spinning
our wheels downstream right now.

That downstream cut
is dead.

Yeah, you keep having
weeks like this

and we're gonna go broke.

The upstream cut's
all we got left.

And I don't know if it's thawed

and we don't have any
drill holes.

Right?
Let's get back to it.

See what we can do.

My guys are out
there killing it.

We're killing ourselves
trying to do this

and the ground's just
not giving it up.

Like I said I'm not broken

but I'm getting
really mad.

What's up, guys?

Not much, how are you?

That's a whole pile of gold.

We got a pile of gold
this week.

This has been a different week
than normal.

Been one of the tougher weeks

of the season that's
for damn sure.

Parker's managed to
keep both wash plants.

Running 24/7
despite a nightmare week

in which he lost three
valuable crew members

and injured mechanic, Mitch.

How's old mitchy boy doing?

He got out of surgery.

He's got 13 screws
and 2 plates in his arm.

If I were you I'd thank him
for breaking your fall.

He did! I walked away fine.

Let's throw one of those
on the scale

and see where we are at.

50, 70...

Brennan has had
a solid week.

Running on big red.

150... ho!

232.75!

That's a big a
feed off of big red.

Worth $280,000.

There you go, junior!

Well done, my boy!

Well done!

Yeah, that's nice
looking stuff.

All right...
Sluicifer time.

To stay on target for
his 6,000 ounce goal...

This is gonna be a good one.

Yeah, that's 20.

Parker needs sluicifer
to pull in 88 ounces.

150, 70...

200, 250

275, 280

holy moly!
321.3 ounces!

Geez!
Well done, deano!

Worth over $380,000.

So even though we got beat up
this week with Mitch

and guys quitting and stuff,

our week's total is 554 ounces.

A colossal
$660,000 in gold.

It's the biggest clean up
of their season so far.

Smokin' week really.

Half million dollars
and change in a week.

We give Tony $400,000
of that and...

So for the season total, we
have 4,630.5 ounces you guys.

That's $5.6 million.

Good job this week. Thanks.

You know it's been a rough one.

And for me it's been
a rough one too,

but the biggest thing is just
keeping those plants running

and credit to you
guys for doing that.

People are dropping like flies,

but both those plants
stayed banging away

so good job on both
you guys for that.

- You gonna take care of that?
- Yeah.

Keep the door open.

So we're turning this thing up.

On the next "gold rush"...

Told him it was a bad idea!

All it's gotta do is
get rocks from there

to there.

If this doesn't get thaw
the cot we're

how long before
the corn comes up?

I'll punch the
gold out of the ground.

- I got one word for you guys.
- You!

Look out!
Tony!

Now that looks like a dredge.

Wonder what the
she wants.

Enough is enough.
