Original subtitles

now ready for this do or die buddy on the season finale

of of ice road truckers want to get out of there before this road trucks down one hundred percent the drivers are giving it all they've got

but with the ice turning to mud another early as well passes still days and stranded trucks

can't get out

the winner roads won't go oh no

without a fight

ah

uh

uh

it's the final countdown

uh and the ice road truckers are scrambling to get as many loads to as many destinations possible

uh race against the weather crazy good times are gonna be coming back through polish polish emissions

but for rookie steph customs

up her first full season has come to a screeching halt

uh

less than a mile ahead

okay here is badly in debt to go please

lisa kelly's been leading the charge the bearskin with her own low

okay though right

yeah i'm ok

step back and let me come

hi we didn't lose a load

in the ditch

uh

she is so foreign voice

okay seriously was like you missed a corner or did it break your hearing break i don't think the string broke i don't know literally all just happened so fast

i don't know if i can get you out of that yeah

um

the sticks in your hair i'm impressed lisa recently attempted a rescue like this

we're gonna make this one count you ready yep

but the outcome was not exactly what she wanted three

uh

oh

there's absolutely zero ways i'm getting you out of here i have no no ideas on this one

alright well i'll get this deliver get a loader head your way and hopefully i'll get picked up for then if not i'll be right along behind lisa has no choice but to continue on and send heavy equipment to pull stuff from the woods

we'll see feel alright see you later regularly so yeah

uh well

that said there's nothing i can do there

hello to felting time is of the essence right now

you can tell why they shut the roads down after this

because start stops are capitan where it's not worth it anymore

and it ain't over yet

while lisa goes in search of help

two hundred and twenty miles away in pecan jacob

compatible

it was a lot better than i thought it was going to be

uh let's make a lot heavier and i thought it was gonna be

art birds got a lot of weight on his shoulders

a day ago

while headed home from what he thought was his last delivery of the season i need to get those doors out of the cancer donna was going home

art was sent back into battle to bring home a bulldozer from the gaga

any isis plus all just around me and winnipeg because i'm not going to make it back to the piano

uh i haven't hauled anything this heavy over the ice like this

yet so this is gonna be no experience hey the dough is approx really irrelevant so wait for that i'm concerned with right

transporting a load this heavy late in the season is a true gamble

because the winter roads run mostly over mustang a swampy mixture of water vegetation and dirt

when musk egg thaws it becomes the quicksand of the north swallowing heavy equipment which often must be abandoned

um forgot to sink in the road i'll guarantee that

pretty tough for a guy that's all he was going home

okay

really well

okay raw

ugh i'll tell you one day

come hell or high water i'm getting this

one hundred and eighty miles away at polar satellite terminal and pickle lake

ah

uh just look at all these loads it's one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen load sitting in here that the communities might not get the winter roads are really warming up condition

things are getting really really bad right now

well we made it this far mark only will make one more last run right

this is the last load the castle vodka this is it right here

the community needs their load of construction supplies

i just hope i get it in and get her delivered

by todd may be tempting fate

to get there he'll have to survive two hundred miles of winding hilly winter roads rapidly approaching their expiration date

uh

cheese

i just call him axe breaker right there she will bust your front end right off

uh right there is your proof that this season is over

uh oh is this

uh just a nasty looking road

uh hey god

uh-oh

uh

then i killed the truck

no backing down this hill to that

a

uh you tip me

with linebacker ting on

uh

in remote ontario

low back down this cafe

tides falling behind

uh are you kidding me

we slide backwards hang on

uh

uh

who were just said all the way back and almost got jack knife

that was bad buddy

a oh my gosh i pulled me right down the hill

there was nothing i could do luckily i got to stop before my training went right over that thanks over there

you could see

behind me

you see this wreck mark krieger this is where somebody else i'd like me was not able to get their truck stopped coming down this hill and that but they slid all the way down the hills said right off and said right into the bush

we're stuck here we're stuck here till somebody can pull them out we're gonna have to train up right here there's still way of making it up this hill and possible

don't take some speed boys

you gotta take some speed

ready for this

do or die buddy

ugh

ridiculous

uh

how will hit her

through that rough right everybody so the spookiest i've ever been in right there sliding backwards and i tell you what we stopped it in the nick of time

i hope there's no more hills like that

sixty miles away

we are just on the winter roads headed for big trout

got sixteen twenty thousand pounds on the ass end of our trailers on his last run of the season we know ward as a hefty load of construction supplies

and he's racing for brutal conditions we've got a pretty good soft spot here

new drive through the night and roads going to hold up the best tonight and hopefully we catch it with the weather's cold

i guess i might just be rolling the dice on this one

as reno pushes forward and presses luck

one hundred and fifty miles of the southwest

on the road back to winnipeg

oh my why not much

another early as well passes still dazed

art sweating it out as he moves a giant low donna melting road

she's low areas like this the blood

slate the season for this look buddy

okay we're pulling up the ice draws are there

i hope this ice crossing goes good

because he totally honest with you

little leery of this lowy

this is pretty heavy

and i knew that from the bottom of the idols show they're called at night oh meg glee that i'm telling you seriously i'm a little area this

it takes quite a bit to blow my mind

i'll tell you that awesome

okay raw

there's the last ice ross

because big holes in this with people broke through the slushy stuff on the top hopefully down to the good ice underneath right

uh when i did this thing is

uh this this is not only one of the most tough roads i've ever taken

but it's also one of the heaviest lowest i've ever taken over

uh oh like this bot here

damn well not gonna drive into that

right now the mission is to get the thought for this

uh

uh

oh like this bouncing ball

so we'll just bob around those little black holes here

this is a long oil spouse will suffice fast as longer than i realised

of the other lake is just a little shorewood this is

ida crossing into red lake

oh like this balancing vote

arts twenty four ton haul is pushing the limits of the fragile ice

this is a long spouse

uh

the other leg is just a little short shortland this

why does the lack of calls here i'll tell you that talk just dropped into that way

i don't like that when you've got into that was on the ice

of closing in mind when it happens

like anyway to get my little earth's on the other side of events

uh whoa

melted the dozers heavies ambassador they keep breaking through the surface ice here

i'm not too happy with this i want to get off this legacy kid

with all the water over there

not worry much about the water over there it's the water that's underneath here below zero

ah

uh

okay near the end of this but i get by this spot here

i got away by such slippery mud

up and away we go off the ice and onto the road

slowly but surely we're gonna get here

we didn't

two hundred and fifty miles to the northeast

uh ok here we are

i'm glad that i'm finally here get this thing off

through smoke and flame leases made it to bearskin lake the roads are closing down in like a day and there's no other way out of here but offloading is not our top priority

i'm glad i could get it here before the roads close

rest of your load will get here

stuff stuck in the ditch she's in there good we got a loader going on tool that will help will awesome well thank you very much nice to meet you have a good summer

while lisa sends for reinforcements

one hundred miles away

in northern ontario

ugh i'm so excited to spy last trip and i can be done dealing with this for the year

one step closer to vietnam

todd's got the finish line in sight

i just want to get this one last vote in the house monica get out of there before this road completely goes to pot

last month of the season performance the hardest

uh

pain in the ass

uh

casablanca buddy

uh i'm tired run down emotionally and physically exhausted

time to get the sub-index off my back because i am ready

of you holding the camera season over truck your hot acres

farley under my season i gotta go home and see the family couldn't be more excited

uh another day ends on the winter roads

but outside of bare skin

uh there's still a lot of work to be done

among up and a lot of 'em in the trees yeah ya snow all the way i'm twenty five years they silesia a group of locals have come to steph's aid

we're gonna double hook the loader in front of the greater la get to operators on and we'll hopefully get her

uh good

yeah

with steph's wheels sunk over a foot into the musky the two heavy machines will have to pull together

nah it's gonna play out though if i'm gonna have requires or drop underneath but they hope we can try

she re yeah tell her to shift to reverse

yeah radio

back them up

uh

i can't get over

um i got to vizag equipment attached to me

pulling like a train and stuck hanging meow

not good

deepen ontario

i can't get out

i got to visa heavy equipment attached to me

pulling like a train and so can gameo

not good

all the town's tractors and all the towns men can't get steph on the road again

i have an idea tell me if i'm stupid forgot the greater on the back of the trailer then we got the loader on the back of the tractor and you guys just have to pull the truck off the trailer on

yeah sounds good i'll go jump in then yeah okay

steph hopes to double the pulling power by strapping one of the loaders directly to her rig

while the other pulls only on the trailer

gonna try and give a one more tug and then after that literally don't know what to do so let's hope to god this one works

on three

one to pick

uh

yeah yes

uh come on keep going

uh

bring it in everyone's got going

i cannot believe how wonderful these people are

it was awesome they were wicked like any other

ah yeah

uh liberated from the forest

putting this good

it's too good to be true

steph can finally make her way to bearskin

forty miles away

uh oh

background i'll go here digging holes in the road

reno's slugging it out on the road to big trout

i started running at night i helped a lot with the melting conditions just this time the high temperatures has been beaten out of the roads really

they shut down the road you don't know you know i mean if it'll ever open again

uh yeah it was all pretty melted there

gold rounds definitely warming up underneath it

uh

umberger coming up the ice

um gonna get out

looks like it's been plowed it's really clean

people tend to forget how easy it is fall through the ice even in the best conditions thanks can go wrong even if ice crossings a hundred percent golden people can still fall through the ice

uh oh

sounds like i'm losing air looks like i'm losing air my gauges too so

this isn't really the spot of the time and i or the temperature i'd like to be massive and lose an era

brutal road conditions have damaged reno's airbrake system

i should not stop out here stopping to fix it here is extremely dangerous the weight of an idling rig could trigger an ice collapse

no i'm definitely losing air big time

but reno may not have a choice this isn't good i mean as soon as my tractor protection valve fix my brakes are locked and my truck just dead on the water out here

if the brake system loses all it's air it automatically applies the emergency brakes

yeah it's slowing me down already it's about to kick my tractor protection valve and it's not gonna allow me to go anywhere this is so bad

i'm dying

i'm stuck in the middle of the ice and i can't move at all

god dammit

uh

in distant northern ontario

no i'm definitely losing air big time

this is so bad

a leaky airbrake system is causing rinos brakes to lock up in the middle of an ice crossing

i'm stuck in the middle of the ice and i can't move at all

god dammit

never stopping on the ice is a cardinal rule of ice road trucking as the weight of a stationary rig can slowly overwhelmed the ice

i gotta get out and find this airline

reno may only have minutes to fix the airlie before his truck is in danger of falling through

uh i can't hear

uh we've monitored throughout i'm just gonna have to shut my truck off my guess

okay now i can

not the league

i filled up on my sleeve valve on my tank

ice is fouled an air tank bow that caused it to open

oh thank god well that was an easy fix

oof glad i found that

with the valve now closed reno's brake system is back in action

get out here

oh here's this

how is what's wrong with this thing

thank god i started

uh no i was pretty nerve wracking i mean that's just how fast problems can evolve out here you know one little early the next thing you know you're stopped and mill lake and your truck star

uh almost off the ice it's a little bit to go

uh oh man you just have to sigh of relief that was fun

while reno drives through the night

a new day dawns

and back in winnipeg

at polar headquarters

no i raise okay alright mark is hearing about the winter roads latest victim

i can get somebody out there but it's gonna take at least a day day and a half i mean as a way up north

i'll do a couple calls

wow a fully loaded trailer is disabled on the road to muskrat dam

it's not a good situation now we gotta do trailer retrieval and getting to the nearest community so we can really solid just thing

with all of his other drivers busy mark can think of only one person nicole they work i need your help really

nine weeks ago

lisa rector rigged money six truck and i need to try to make money let's see if we can get this truck for stuff too quick here and took a long from mark to get her company back on track

oh wow

now lisa's former employer than rival and now friend is asking for a favor in return can you go up there and georgia character fitness trailer recover i'll see what i can do i don't know if i have all the equipment or not but i can definitely go assess the situation for you let you know what's going on with that

okay thankfully sickbay

we will figure this out

i need to figure out what happened so that i know how to fix it then i'm gonna start taking onto the trailer and start getting ideas

uh this whole year has been about me like stepping up to the plate and dealing with stuff that i've never wanted to or had to deal with before i guess i'm growing as a person and i have to step up right now

uh my fema trailer

oh wow

hey

the winter season is coming to an end eric my seen the trailer

oh wow

but not without hitch

a

i'm gonna go look around on it i'm so curious as to what happened that i can barely stand it

so i get a call from mark or what had happened is a stretch trailer had come apart can you go get it for me i don't have anyone else that's close by

the pins malfunctioned or something happened it came apart

i have no idea like what's going on i've never seen a trailer like this before

i still don't know how you would engage or disengage this

and there's only one way to find out let's fix it

lisa can see that the compressed air system has been severely damaged causing the trailer to split in to something i might have to do is rewire this trailer now it's up to her to find a fix it's all solid metal so i can't see inside of it to see which one goes where so if i cut away

why an apple to write her only solution is to try our risky hack to the air system i gotta get it up and threw their cut one cut the other slice it together bypass glad hands than this trailer will have air the pins will go and i come back together

alright i'm cutting it

a

alright when data is done there's no going back

in desperate need of their supplies hi

a group from the community is arrived to help

if you guys are loaded i'll work on fixing it

uh i just hope my bypass works

hey it's working yes yeah

this gambit has paid off but she still has to get the trailer back together who are we to question the back of the town with the law

i think that would work

uh oh up too slow but here we go

uh

um huh

uh

uh right on and i'll bring it to ya

they took the right off the back and pushed the trailer forward when they made wingman wingman bang on

alright guys think we're gonna to go

sweet

okay

uh i seriously did not think that i was going to be able to recover the float

i was like i've never recovered a load before my life

uh

if it didn't any

lisa happily rings in the rescued load

and just in time

spring has arrived

shutting down the winner roads one by one

boys out a beautiful sunsets he couldn't ask for nicer sunset

ah the ice road truckers have survived the most challenging season ever

mission accomplished we are finally off the winter road you know it's always a fantastic feeling to know how hard

we've pushed

no matter how much blood sweat tears throw contracts when you love ice road trucking as much as we do it's a pretty amazing feeling buddy

whoa but you know what i think this year for the first time ever i think i sound like art wow wow wow wow wow and up the row

work with nurse off the season by puts always like that it's never adult only man is always something to fuck ahead the whole time

wow hearing crack

i'm gonna make this deal buddy

oh no slide into the pitch

not a word not a word please

yeah

but in the long run over the overall picture i think i did pretty good to share buddy

what would i have proven if i gave up that's not who i am and that's not what i'm here for

i went in cocky and chemo lay tail between my legs all right

dog needs to sit in your trick

up next year might have a little bit different of an attitude going in and not lose my mind which i did a couple of times ah man how hard is it to put chains on

last driver standing and chest getting off these winner oats

i go home is lisa kelly

who overcame the tragic loss of her partner daryl ward then teamed up with his son reno to secure her company's future me and darryl has spent the last two or three years building all these contracts so reno did the job when he went above and beyond and then i made it because of him very ready i'm ready

uh oh cow it's better to be stuck in the bush huh

and i think he wanted to be a part of that to feel closer to his dad

but um he's grown a lot and i was very proud of him

oh my god best way there's a lot of things she's involved in and one of the things she's involved in was this company partnership with lisa and i tried to take care of every obligation he had and this was just one that i was able to step into and i knew i was capable of doing

thank my dad would be proud for sure
