[explosion]
Ah!
NARRATOR: Tonight on "Ice Road Truckers."
[sirens]
[bleep] He's got the cops behind him.
NARRATOR: Hugh shuts down the competition.
I have a disgruntled employee who is a security threat here
at my building.
[explosion]
What the heck?
NARRATOR: And polar season--
Oi!
WOMAN: Oh, my god.
NARRATOR: --goes Up in flames.
MAN: Holy mackerel.
Get out of the truck.
WOMAN: Oh my god.
NARRATOR: And up north--
I am the king of obsolete, and there will be no other.
NARRATOR: The trucker who dares to go beyond the winter roads.
MAN: You spread 60 tons of weight across thin ice--
Ah!
[music playing]
NARRATOR: The war for the winter roads is almost halfway over.
[honking]
Rodeo!
NARRATOR: BP Express owners Hugh Rowland.
Hang on.
NARRATOR: And Vlad The Mad Russian Pleskot
are struggling to keep up with Polar Industries.
They're losing contracts to rival Mark Kohaykewych.
Polar Industries?
There's another couple loads for us?
Shamattawa?
Thank you.
NARRATOR: Driver Art Burke's future is in doubt.
Half our company's up there because of Art.
You must be [bleep] kidding me, man.
Did you pull the pin?
Yes, of course I pulled the pin.
Yeah, I think we're going to have to let him go.
I'm not making any money.
I would much rather be home.
Maybe I should have went to Polar.
NARRATOR: And Hugh and Vlad are scrambling to get their company
back on track.
VLAD PLESKOT: Yeah, OK. Thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Hey, man.
Hi, dude.
How is it going, man?
Pretty good.
I just got back from that [inaudible] West deal.
Oh, and?
HUGH ROWLAND: We've got like 25 loads, 27 loads.
Oh.
I was afraid of that I just got a few more loads.
Tadoule Lake.
Tadoule?
Yes.
That's all the way up there.
Yeah.
NARRATOR: Landing contracts for more loads is good news,
but only if they can pull it off.
So-- so we've got a [inaudible] that's rolling.
Now, you picked up 25 more loads, you said?
How are we going to do that, man?
I think I'll just stay on with [inaudible]..
And why don't we send the new guys, Todd and--
VLAD PLESKOT: Todd and Art?
Todd and Art up to Tadoule.
Oh.
Well, the problem I have is with Art.
You know?
Well, I said--
I think we got to do what we had to do for one run, anyway.
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, we're short of trucks anyway.
He [bleep] up, we'll just let him go when he get back.
NARRATOR: With their fleet of drivers stretched thin.
ART BURKE: Good day, good day. - Here he is.
Hey, Fart. ART BURKE: How you doing, buddy?
Good, you?
NARRATOR: Hugh and Vlad will have to keep Art around
for now.
Well, a lot of this stuff wasn't my fault.
Well, I do that sometimes.
But sometimes, too, I find when I go to get my point--
And, and, and.
OK, I'm listening.
OK.
They way I operate is, in my--
Right on.
You're bobtailing up to Tadoule Lake.
And then you're going to bring the van back.
All right.
Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
Deal.
See if it work out. Shake on it.
ART BURKE: Right on, buddy.
Shake it right here, buddy.
Just like this.
I'm not your buddy.
I'm not your friend. - OK.
I'm not a gangster, anything that.
I'm a businessman.
This is the way you shake hands. - All right.
Right, cool.
Perfect, thank you.
All right.
I come down here to make some money, and that's the plan.
I didn't come down here to be [bleep] Patsy for this [bleep]..
Now, I'm going to go have a good day for myself.
And [bleep] it all.
[bleep] it all.
NARRATOR: While Art's job at BP express hangs by a thread--
Hey, guys.
There he is now.
Hey.
NARRATOR: Ice road rookie Todd Dewey is the company's rising
star.
OK.
OK.
Well, we're really happy with what you've been doing for us.
Good.
Good deal.
NARRATOR: Todd's charged with leading a convoy
to recover equipment from Tadoule
Lake, a remote community with a road so unforgiving,
it's even shut down the boss.
That's it.
This is going to be a long, long frickin' experience right
here, bud.
Got copy?
See if you can hear me?
Cool.
NARRATOR: Todd will have to get Art and freelance driver Derek
Vivier to the most northern town on the winter roads.
Yeah, this trip is going to be the first
real big, big, big, big, big challenge.
This is a huge ice road.
You know, we're talking a total of about 1,300 miles
just to get there.
Two of the trucks are bobtailing.
I'm pushing up the rear.
I got-- I got a trailer.
You know, the bosses kind of sat me down and say hey,
Art don't know how to drive.
He's not doing very well.
We need you to babysit him.
We need you to take him up there.
We need you to push him.
That way, if he gets in a situation,
you know, you'll be there to help him out.
And hopefully everything goes well.
This is the first convoy I've been on without Hugh or Vlad.
I like that.
[music playing]
The roads are getting bad.
It's all turned to ice, buddy.
What's going on?
[beeping]
What the [bleep] is that all about?
Just beep, beep, beep.
Beeps, beeps, beeps.
That's been going on now steady.
So far, so good.
I haven't lost my mind yet.
But it's only early in the day.
NARRATOR: A glitch in the radio torments Art,
but he can't turn it off, or he'll lose contact
with the convoy.
But it does kind of drive you up the wall.
Listen to it.
Like a kid that won't stop crying.
You just want to choke it, eh?
As long as it's not yours.
[beeping]
I like Art.
I know Art's got a big heart.
You know, and he's trying real hard up here.
He's putting everything he's got into it to--
you know, he's trying to make the bosses happy.
And it's just not working.
But when things consistently keep happening,
then you stop looking at the truck,
and you start looking at the driver.
That's the way it works.
Never a dull moment in here.
And the beeping stopped, so we're cool.
I'm happy, eh?
[bleep] happens.
[beeping]
Isn't this fun?
NARRATOR: Back at Polar.
Yeah.
No, I'm sorry it has to be that way.
All right, bye bye.
Hey Ryan, looks like Yuri is gone.
NARRATOR: Mark gets word that an employee switched sides.
Going to be heading over to VP, it looks like.
So, scratch him off the board.
OK.
NARRATOR: Former driver Yuri Davidoff
quit to work for a rival VP Express.
It's typical Hugh business practices.
I mean, he knows I got the best of the best.
He knows I got the loads.
He knows I've got everything here.
He's going after my customers, going after drivers,
going after my loads, going after my routes.
I mean, Hugh Rowland, think for yourself for once.
Quit riding my coattails.
Well, that's the least you know.
Least you know what's going on over there.
Mark doesn't care about his drivers, so it's his own fault.
I'm going to bury Mark, and that's what's going to happen.
I'm going to bury Polar Industries this year.
NARRATOR: Yuri was slated to haul a rush load
and now that job is hours behind schedule.
Mark, you wanted to see me?
MARK KOHAYKEWYCH: Hey, Lisa.
How are you?
Good, how are you?
NARRATOR: So Mark's counting on Lisa Kelly
to finish the haul in record time.
You've been doing a hell of a job, so I want to--
I want to throw another challenge at you.
We're going to send you Bloodvein.
Going to need you loaded and out as fast as possible.
So we need you to hustle.
NARRATOR: She'll have to reach Bloodvein
before this site closes in order to make the delivery deadline,
and pick up a time sensitive back haul.
You up for the challenge?
Yeah, of course.
Hit the road. Let's get you going, in and out.
OK. MARK KOHAYKEWYCH: Right on.
Good job, Lisa. - Yeah, thanks.
Thank you. See you.
I'm excited to get back on the road, going to Bloodvein
with building supplies.
NARRATOR: She'll score two loads for Polar
if she can make it in time.
But down the street--
I'm glad Yuri is coming over here.
I like him.
NARRATOR: Hugh's got a test of loyalty for his new recruit.
I told must take his truck down there,
and park in front of his driveway,
and see what the hell goes on.
Here comes a truck.
Oh, he's not going to let me out?
Hey, come look at this.
Is he just going to stop there?
Trying to figure out what this blue truck is doing here.
All right.
Heather, grab your camera please.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: At Polar Industries--
NARRATOR: --former employee Yuri Davidoff
has gone to work for a VP Express.
Is he just going to stop there?
NARRATOR: And Hugh sent him to shut down the yard.
Trying to figure out what this blue truck is doing here.
Let's go.
Here comes the circus.
[music playing]
What's up?
5, 4, 3, 2.
[inaudible]
I have a disgruntled employee who's with a security threat
here at my building.
What's that?
Can you just wait in your truck, please?
Want me to go in the shop?
Truck or shop?
Inside the shop, yeah.
NARRATOR: With Polar shut down--
[laughter]
--only VP Express is getting loads on the road.
[honking]
We're going to run Mark out of business.
I mean, he's going to go down.
He's going to get buried.
That's all there is to it.
[laughs]
NARRATOR: As the battle heats up in Winnipeg, 800 miles north,
a one of a kind trucker prepares for a mission
past the end of the road.
I am the King of Obsolete, and there is only one.
And there will be no other.
NARRATOR: Joey Barnes is the self-proclaimed King
of Obsolete.
Basically, I live at the end of the world.
We have to be very resourceful at the end of the world
because, we can't rely on everybody else.
I try and make a living with old style equipment.
NARRATOR: Today, he's been hired by longtime friend Jerry Umbach
to salvage a generator from an abandoned campsite.
We've been talking about getting this generator,
but because of the inaccessibility of it,
this is about the only way we can pick it up.
NARRATOR: But to travel where there are no roads,
the king relies on equipment from the earliest days of ice
road trucking.
The Cat trains are a very unique way of transportation.
It was used in the 1940s.
That's our Caterpillar tractor.
But in Canada we called it Cats.
Now, we'll get the other Cats going here.
Yeah, he's got the big Cat.
I got smaller one.
Jonathan's got the baby Cat.
NARRATOR: Helping the king manhandle the machinery is
protege Jonathan [inaudible].
OK.
Always leave it in neutral, flat stick.
Jonathan had two minutes experience on a Cat.
He drove it around the yard twice.
So he had to learn.
The reason I came out here was for the adventure, because I
really wanted the experience.
NARRATOR: And rounding out the king's crew his daughter Xena.
NARRATOR: With his team assembled,
the king heads out to face the ice beyond the end of the road.
Xena was zooming back and forth on her Ski-Doo like
a mosquito.
She's a communication officer.
We don't run radio systems, because you can't hear a radio.
It's loud.
Feels good once we get rolling.
NARRATOR: While the king journeys into no man's land--
TODD DEWEY: We're headed for the big ice road up Tadoule Lake.
So we've got a big day ahead of us.
NARRATOR: VP Express driver Todd Dewey
is in charge of a critical haul.
Along with Art Burke and freelancer Derrick Vivier.
TODD DEWEY: Art, did the radio finally quit beeping?
No.
It's right back at it again, but it's just not quite as bad.
It's right back at it again.
Every trip man, there's a [bleep] up.
NARRATOR: Art's feeling the pressure
after being given a last chance ultimatum by the bosses.
[beeping]
This beep, beep, beep will drive you right up the wall,
right?
Team VP, boy.
And then they got the audacity to call me in the office
and tell me that they're not happy.
Definitely, definitely, definitely, something
wrong with this picture.
[beeping]
Ah!
This is crazy.
NARRATOR: The convoy is forced to stop as Todd's truck loses
electrical power.
We're not quite sure it's the alternators
or the voltage is going all adrift.
And the lights is going off and on on the dash.
And all this wonderful stuff that happens
if you're working for VP.
[laughs]
[engine humming]
This one's definitely got a good [inaudible]..
That's a positive to positive, here and here.
This is negative, so we could run this negative to this.
NARRATOR: Getting back on the road
means figuring out where the loose wires go.
This negative to that negative.
[sparking sound]
This negative.
This positive to this positive.
This one ain't going to reach because--
[explosion]
[man shouting]
NARRATOR: On the road to Tadoule Lake.
We could run this negative.
NARRATOR: The VP Express crew is trying
to troubleshoot Todd's rig.
This negative to that negative.
[sparking sound]
This negative, this positive, to this positive.
And this one ain't going to reach because it's--
[explosion]
[man shouting]
Rinse it off.
NARRATOR: An exploding battery showered Derrick and Todd
with highly corrosive battery acid.
I told you it was a bad battery.
That's what I could smell, the [bleep] battery.
Need more water?
NARRATOR: If left untreated, the sulfuric acid
could cause permanent skin damage and blindness.
[inaudible]
NARRATOR: But the closest place to get treatment
is Lynn Lake, 80 miles in the wrong direction.
If we're taking out one battery,
we're just going to run in series with three batteries,
and get the [bleep] thing back started.
And we're just going to do what we can do.
NARRATOR: A convoy backtracks down the winter road
with Todd's truck one battery down.
It ain't no joke.
It ain't a peddly little game.
I mean, its definitely nuts up here.
And freelance driver Derrick Vivier's health in jeopardy.
My whole body is starting to convulse.
I think I got a fair bit in my throat,
because my throat is starting to swell up.
It feels bad, but I'm just trying
to be optimistic at this point.
Literally, the left side of my head
just feels like it's on fire.
Todd's batteries are going to die pretty soon.
I don't know what's going to happen there, man.
Kind of in a rush to get poor Derek to the hospital,
because the acid, you can't get it out of his skin,
eh, will burn his face all to hell.
That stuff is burning him as we speak.
[beeping]
We're jinxed.
NARRATOR: Back in Winnipeg.
[sirens]
That's a VP truck?
NARRATOR: Hugh sent his new recruit
to shut down Polar Industries.
HUGH ROWLAND: What's going on there?
[bleep] He's got the cops behind him.
We got the truck out of the way.
The cops came by, escorted him off the property.
Where are those two cowards?
Sending Yuri over here to do their dirty work.
You know what, Hugh?
Karma's a bitch.
You got yours coming to you soon.
You watch.
[honking]
NARRATOR: Polar may be back in business.
LISA KELLY: Try not to get into it.
Just do my job.
NARRATOR: But thanks to Hugh, Lisa Kelly's
running out of time.
The trip can take up to eight hours,
but she's only got six before Mark's promise to the village
is broken.
The way I go to Bloodvein, a little later than I would like
to, but we had a holdup with whatever drama was going on
today that I don't care about.
We're not here to play.
My job is to drive this truck and the crate
to the villages in a certain time period that we have.
NARRATOR: And with the clock ticking, it might be too late.
Get this Bloodvein run done.
[honking]
NARRATOR: 670 miles north.
Here's the [inaudible] board for that load.
Good. Thank you very much.
Sure [inaudible].
Take care.
Polar teammate Alex Debogorski is also starting
an urgent mission, hauling the final load
of a $100,000 contract.
My specialty, riding off into the sunset.
Look.
Oh, is the sun going down?
Oh, it must be time to go to work for me.
[laughter]
NARRATOR: He's headed to the town of Shamattawa,
and he's only got until morning to make the delivery.
Away.
NARRATOR: But after a season of handling every challenge thrown
at him--
We're off like our hurdle of turtles.
NARRATOR: --the 40-year veteran brushes off the pressure.
Look at the howling wolves over there.
[animal howl imitation]
We used to make the coyotes talk back to us.
When you had nothing to do on the farm,
you'd get the coyotes excited.
The coyotes, or whatever you call them.
Coy-oats?
Coy-utes?
[animal howl imitation]
[sirens]
Oh.
I guess, must've made somebody unhappy.
Getting pulled over by the police.
One more circus for me today, I guess.
I don't know what I did wrong.
Way too much fun this morning.
I really don't have time for all this.
Good morning, sir.
I didn't hear the sirens, sir.
How far--
No, I didn't.
Yes, sir.
Goodness, grief.
I mean, that's a really bad ticket.
[honking]
NARRATOR: Now, Alex is falling behind.
It's already 3 o'clock.
NARRATOR: And time is running out.
Are we going to be too late to unload?
Going to look like a royal ass showing up there late.
So I got some time to make up.
NARRATOR: In the town of Lynn Lake--
She never ends, buddy.
NARRATOR: --the VP Express convoy made it to the hospital
after a battery explosion--
[explosion]
[man shouting]
--left two drivers injured, and one truck in no shape
for the Winter Road.
The acid [inaudible] all over his face, and his clothes,
and his pants, and everything else.
And now it's burning him.
He can't get it off.
NARRATOR: At the medical center, Art waits
for word on Derek's condition.
My plan is I'm going to wait here at the hospital,
make sure he's OK, and see what's going on.
And then when this is all straightened out,
and he's doing good, then we'll talk to Todd.
TODD DEWEY: The battery blowing up
in somebody's face like that, if could have killed us.
Got to be the alternator.
I don't know what else it could be.
NARRATOR: After getting checked out at the hospital,
Todd's in the clear, but he barely made
it did town on three batteries.
And the problem is worse than he thought.
I've gone through the batteries.
I've gone through all the wiring to the alternator.
The batteries are hooked up and linked the proper way,
and there's no--
obviously the alternator fried out.
And when the alternator fried out,
it was shortening out 100%.
Obviously, it got one battery so freaking hot that it blew up.
[sirens]
It's just a big hole.
Everybody [bleep].
Everybody is not making any money.
Everybody is pissed off.
Everybody's frustrated.
Just another [bleep] wonderful day on the ice road.
Hey, you made her, buddy.
How did you make out?
Lots of burn cream.
I've got chemical burn on a good 25% of my body.
Holy [bleep].
I had to go for a chemical shower.
[bleep] you're lucky, he says.
Hey, buddy, you were lucky.
Yeah, no doubt.
NARRATOR: While Derek's recovery is good news,
Todd's truck and the convoy are down for the count.
ART BURKE: We'll be trapped, buddy.
Eh?
[music playing]
NARRATOR: 680 miles south--
I'm on the Winter Road, headed toward Bloodvein
with this load of construction supplies, building materials.
NARRATOR: --Lisa Kelly's on a mission
to deliver a load of scaffolding,
and pick up a time sensitive backhaul
before the site closes.
Feel like I'm making pretty good time.
So just trying to get there and get it done.
We have very limited time.
So it's just kind of the-- it is actually like a mad rush to get
the stuff where it's got to go.
We're going to stay on it today.
NARRATOR: She's made up time after being delayed by Hugh.
And if there are no more delays, she'll
deliver without a minute to spare.
What the heck?
See a big danger sign.
I don't know what it says yet, though.
Oh, blasting area.
Oh, crap.
Just pulled up and got stopped by a flag person.
Not sure what's going on, why we're stopped or anything.
I'm going to go see what's going on here.
Hi. MAN: Hi.
LISA KELLY: Am I going to be able to get through and get out
of here?
We just did a blast here.
We got rock all over the road.
All right?
OK.
[explosion]
NARRATOR: Maintenance on the road
can only be done when the swamp land is frozen solid,
and blasting is the only way crews can
break through the rocky ice.
[explosion]
Looks like we're not going anywhere for a while.
They've got to move the rocks before we can go through.
This is bull.
Here comes the loader.
Maybe they're just polishing off the rest of the rocks
so we can go through.
Looks like we can go now.
Looks like it's all clear here.
So we can get on through.
Thank you.
MAN: [inaudible]
LISA KELLY: Every long thing that's
delaying us is setting me back.
Blasting zones, and truck drivers blocking highways,
and people getting arrested.
They're counting on me to get there.
They're counting on me to get this done.
NARRATOR: She made it through with a blast zone.
But as she closes in on the offload site--
Well, there's a truck coming.
NARRATOR: --the crew is already heading home for the day.
I got to jump out real quick.
Oh, awesome.
Cool.
I'm happy he stopped right there, which is cool,
because if I would've just kept driving,
I would have never known that.
So now I know what I've got.
NARRATOR: Lisa's just in time to make the delivery pick up
her back haul.
We've got to get this out of Bloodvein.
We gotta get to Winnipeg.
We've got to keep it moving, get it back.
No such thing as an easy day.
[engine humming]
NARRATOR: 700 miles north in the Canadian wilderness--
NARRATOR: --Joey Barnes, the King of Obsolete,
is on a quest to salvage a generator from an abandoned
campsite.
They can't afford to build all these roads for a transport
truck to haul in.
The Cat train is the way to go.
NARRATOR: In the 1940s, before the birth of ice road trucking,
Cat trains were used to haul freight in the north.
I tell everybody I should have been born in the '40s when
the Cat trains were popular.
In the '40s, it was simpler times, and people were honest.
You worked hard, you got your paycheck.
NARRATOR: To reach the camp, the king
will have to cross a mile-wide lake.
He has to trust his instincts to lead the 60-ton Cat train
across the un-monitored ice.
As the Cat train crosses the lake,
each vehicle adds more pressure to the ice,
and pushing it too far can be fatal.
[engine humming]
[crash]
JOEY BARNES: Oh.
NARRATOR: In northern Manitoba, hours from civilization,
the king is leading his 60-ton Cat train across untested ice.
He's been hired by friend Jerry Umbach
to recover a generator from a campsite
where there are no roads.
[crash]
JOEY BARNES: Oh.
The Cat train is a unique way of transportating.
These skis are 9 feet long.
You spread 60 tons of weight across how many feet
when you got thin ice?
That's scary.
NARRATOR: Across the lake, the king
stops the Cat a train at the edge of the ice.
You know you were breaking through the ice
up there, weren't you? [inaudible]
Oh, I'm not too concerned.
You weren't concerned because you were ahead.
That's right. You're the ones--
JERRY UMBACH: It's us guys coming behind.
Yeah.
And if you seen the water, that's OK.
Yeah, splashing through water.
That's OK.
It's going home we're going to have trouble.
NARRATOR: And now all they have to do is cover the generator.
Yeah, this is the camp here.
We're finally here.
So now, we've got to get Jerry up to where the generator is.
He's 71, born in 1941.
He'll drive the famous Black Cat, made in 1941.
So the senior citizen gets to drive.
I get to hang on.
Well, we arrived here at the camp.
JERRY UMBACH: She's free.
We're now picking up the generator.
We said we'd do this job, and we will.
We got the engine.
It's a pretty cool little engine.
And now, we've got to try to bully this thing out of here.
JERRY UMBACH: Whoops.
NARRATOR: They wrestle a generator free
and secure it to the Cat train.
We're going to be late for supper
at the rate we're going here.
We've never been late for supper, have we Jerry?
That's right.
OK.
All right, let's go.
Go back to the kingdom.
I do it for the customers.
You know, for the guys.
And the thing is, it's the same rate
if I work eight hours a day, or if I work 14 or 15 hours.
You get one chance to make money, and you get it done.
NARRATOR: The generator has been recovered,
and the king and his crew start the journey back
to that kingdom.
But I chose to live up here.
I chose to move up here.
I chose to stay up here.
I chose to raise my daughter up here.
That's what I chose.
I'm going to keep doing this until I'm in the pine box
pushing up daisies.
NARRATOR: 300 miles southeast--
[honking]
I just keep driving until I've got to stop.
NARRATOR: --Alex Debogorski is racing
to deliver the final load in Polar's contract
with the village of Shamattawa.
The road's going reasonably well.
Do what you got to do.
I got 140 kilometers left.
I think I'm making pretty good speed.
I feel like I'm going faster than I was last time in here.
Yeah, I should be in Shamattawa in the morning.
NARRATOR: Every load must be delivered by morning
to claim the $100,000 payday, so Alex
is driving through the night.
[beeping]
Well, I don't know why that check engine light's on.
I'm concerned that maybe a low on oil.
But I'm scared to shut the truck down out here,
in case it doesn't start.
If it's just fuel, it might clear up.
If it's a mechanical problem, it's going to fail.
Then I guess we're going to put my winter gear on and wait
for spring.
But the engine is running rough.
It's starting to run really crappy.
I got a problem.
I was looking back there, and I just didn't
like the color of the smoke.
It was making really gray, gray smoke hanging there in the air.
The plan is to stop, have a look at it.
NARRATOR: Hundreds of miles from help, Alex
can't leave anything to chance.
Well, I'm going to jump out there, freeze my rear end,
take a quick look underneath, see if we got any oil leaks.
Look at the load.
I absolutely can't see nothing.
Looks nice and dry under there.
You smell that?
The hell?
Smell electrical smell again.
It's getting awful strong in here.
[crackling sound]
Oh [bleep].
Holy mackerel.
Get out of the truck.
[spraying sound]
Oh.
ART BURKE: We're starting to get into the rough of it now.
NARRATOR: Next time--
Oh!
NARRATOR: --on "Ice Road Truckers."
Oh you [bleep] licker.
NARRATOR: --VP Express reaches the breaking point.
I got told by the bosses the cement trucker is good to go.
You know, I don't get paid to come up here and be a [bleep]
mechanic and turn wrenches, and try to get [bleep] fired up.
This is bull [bleep].
NARRATOR: While Team Polar--
Where the hell are we?
NARRATOR: --is heading in the wrong direction.
Holy [bleep].
Oh!
NARRATOR: And the king of obsolete breaks through.
JOEY BARNES: Doesn't look all that friendly.
It doesn't look good.
Whoa!
