Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch.

[Duane] Chad, what'd you find down on that core sample.

[Chad] I got it.

That ink shows the logs were cut in the 16th century.

- That's Aztec. - [Eric] Oh.

[Chad] We are sitting on gold.

We will spend all we need to do to get down to that fricking box.

[Jamie] Dave knows something that could be connected with the murder suicide.

- [Chad] The hell is that? - [Charlie] Camera two.

[Chad] Look at this [bleep].

[Eric] This is an elaborate [bleep] spying set up.

We're not here to get somebody, hurt but we are here...

- Yeah. - Always remember this.

We are here to take chances.

[man] Drop it.

[Eric] That's your cave water.

- [Duane] That sure is. - [Charlie] That's a beautiful sight right there.

All right, here we go. Here we go.

- [Eric] Get ready. - [Chad] Yeah.

[Chad laughs]

[Eric laughs] It's the box!

Good job, fellas.

[man] Oh, wait, I do see something moving.

- Right there. - [Chad] Can you see it?

[man] It's moving.

[Chad] Sometimes at night before the crew takes off,

we pass around the night vision goggles.

[producer] Chad, how often is it like this?

[Chad] This is every night, man.

There's no light pollution and you can see so much stuff.

[man] That thing is super bright.

Whoa! Holy [bleep].

Look at this. Above that tree.

Yeah, it's booking across.

- Oh, yeah. That one right there. - Oh, yeah, look at that.

- Look at that, they're right there. - That's bright.

I do see it, yeah.

[Chad] You don't even need the night vision for that.

Damn, dude. Look at that little son of a buck.

[Charlie] Look at that.

- It looked like it just did a 90. - [Chad] Uh-huh.

I see stuff moving out here a lot but I haven't seen one quite like that.

[Jamie] It's cruising.

- [Chad] Yeah, it is. - [Jamie] It is moving.

[Duane] Looks like someone's keeping an eye on us, fellas.

There's some places on Earth that just don't seem right.

The land feels different.

It acts different.

And this here's one of those places.

Some say the land is trying to hold on to something.

Don't go in the [bleep] cave.

Aztec treasure.

[Eric] Holy [bleep].

[Duane] Caverns of gold.

- [Chad] Look at this. - [Duane] Mormon riches.

It'll be a million dollars here.

[Duane] Some even say there's a buried space ship.

Hell, yeah.

Me? I never cared much about the stories.

I just care about finding whatever the hell's in the ground.

[Chad] Let's get out of here!

[Jamie] Hey, this is Nick.

- [Chad] Cool. - [Charlie] Hey.

[Chad] Camera expert, huh?

I hope so.

- [Charlie] Good deal, let's go look. - [Nick] Let's see what we got.

So this is what we found right up there bolted to the rock.

And all this other [bleep] that's with it.

[Nick] This camera was?

That camera. It had a battery next to it, too,

and solar panels, all up there.

[Eric] Oh, man. Look at this.

[Chad] The other day we found this camera,

right up on the ridge. Pointed down at our pond.

I mean, it was super high-tech.

It seemed like it was remote controlled.

And it could basically see everything we were doing out here.

So Jamie brings in this camera expert to take a look

and, uh, see what he can tell us about it.

[Nick] It wasn't out in, like, plain sight--

- No, behind a tree. - Where everyone could just see it?

- Way up over there. - Yeah.

Okay.

All right, so what do you wanna know about it?

Do we wanna figure out...

Why, I guess. Why it was here, huh?

- Why it was here? - Yeah, somebody's doing some bad stuff to us.

- And we wanna know who put it up there and why. - Okay.

All right.

[Duane] Right now, we have an open hole drilled right on top of that box.

- Whoo-hoo, man. - Yes!

- [Chad] That's the log. - [Eric] That's the box, man. That's the box!

[Chad] That's the box, baby.

[Duane] We're in a bad spot.

Anyone could drop in there right now.

So we need to know what this deal is.

Well, I can let you know that a set up

that is this elaborate is expensive.

It's not just you can run down to a hardware store and pick up this equipment.

Really?

[Nick] It's a pretty elaborate scheme.

This right here is their cell card.

- [Chad] Ah. - So they would, in reality...

Just looking like this.

- Right. - They would have never had to come back to your site.

And we're about to find out if this is something that they were storing locally,

or if I can log into this and find out if it was something

they were accessing anywhere in the world.

- [Chad] God. - [Eric] Wow.

Okay.

Looking here at the specs of this camera,

it can see your entire property

from wherever that camera was at.

And, at nighttime, infrared images.

Can they focus in on it? Can they zoom in?

Not just that, but this camera can actually detect people

and focus on a person, by itself.

- [Chad] God. - [Duane] That far off?

- That... That's bad. - It's really bad.

This is some serious tech watching over us.

Somebody with deep pockets has been watching every move we make.

No telling how long.

All right, so we'll see if there's any traces of data that I can find.

For it to work here.

We're gonna get one shot at this

for me to log into here to see if I can find any information.

- [Eric] Okay. - [Nick] They will have the opportunity

to delete everything once I turn this on.

- You guys okay if I power this on? - [Eric] Yeah.

- We'll only get one shot at this. - Yeah, go for it.

[Nick] Okay.

Okay.

So we're into here.

[Eric] Awesome. Awesome.

Um, now we just need to see what information we can configure from it.

And, unfortunately, we've lost the data.

They beat us to it.

- [Eric] So they pulled the data? - They pulled the data.

As soon as I logged into that... That cell modem,

somebody logged into it on the other side

and deleted all the personal information.

Everything in there that we could have used to track somebody down.

So they've essentially erased it from... From all this?

[Nick] There's no way we can retrieve it.

Whoever's behind this definitely was 100% sitting down,

waiting for this camera to come back online.

I've never seen anybody delete information as quick as this was just done.

What're you thinking? Who has this technology to do this?

This is definitely someone who's advanced

that really wanted something that you have that they don't.

The bottom line is somebody's spending a bunch of time

and money to keep an eye on us.

And for all I know, they'll... They'll be back.

- [Nick] That lone tree up on that rock? - [Eric] That lone tree.

- [Nick] 100% they'd be able to see your entire property. - [Eric] Wow.

So right now is the time to get that box out of the cavern.

And if there's gold there, we need to get it to a safe place.

[man] Lower it down.

Go ahead.

[Duane] Chad-ro, go ahead and leave a little bit on the outside.

So whenever you take it all out just...

Just a little pigtail right there on the outside,

- and then wrap it to the inside. - [Chad] Okay.

[Duane] That way when you pull on the center, it'll all come out.

- [Charlie] It's coiled up. - [Chad] You see? It looks like this.

[Duane] We're one step closer to figuring out what's in that box.

So we gotta get our ass in gear and lower the chains down

so Chad can secure them around the box when he dives into the pond.

So we have to hook it up to the box and have enough chain

to go all the way out to that entrance over there.

These chains are rated to tow 200,000 pounds each.

So no matter what's in that box, we should be all good.

- [Charlie] Ah, we're getting close to the end. - [Eric] Yep.

[Charlie] All right, I got the end.

Just hook it on there and...

- [Chad] Nice. - [Charlie] We're good.

- [Eric] Good. - [Chad] All right, we're gonna go down, right?

We loaded the, uh... The chain on in increments.

[Chad] All right, here we go.

We put one section on, lowered it down, made a connection.

Put the next section on.

Okay, we're good.

Otherwise, it would have been too heavy all at once.

- All right. - All right. Chain is down.

A lot of chain went down there, hundreds and hundreds of feet of chain.

We did our measurements.

We should have enough chain down there to drag that box out.

It's very heavy, uh, but we got it down there.

It's laying there, just waiting on, uh...

On Chad to get to it early in the morning.

- Big day's tomorrow, huh? - [Charlie] Oh, man.

- Super long day. - [Eric] Yeah, let's secure this.

[Chad] You guys secure that, I'm gonna go prep the scuba gear.

So we just gotta pack up the gear.

Uh, what else we got?

[Duane] Look at them little bad boys. It won't be long--

[man] Hey, Duane. Do you copy?

There's somebody on your property.

We just spotted them, they're up on that, uh... That ridge above the pond.

If you look up there where the moon is,

you can see them up there, there's two guys up there.

[Duane] Copy that. Copy that.

Chad's getting his night vision. We'll find them.

[Chad] He said, uh, behind the pond, right?

There! Right there.

Right there. Right there they are.

You see them? Can you see them up there?

- [Duane] No, but you can-- - Look, look, look.

[Chad] Right there. Right over there.

- [Duane] Oh, I got them. All right. - [Chad] Let's get them.

Hurry, I got my RZR right here. Come on.

[Duane] Let's go. Here we go.

I guarantee we'll catch them right up that road right there.

[man] Hey, Duane.

Do you copy? There's somebody on your property.

If you look up there where the moon is,

you can see them up there, there's two guys up there.

[Chad] We've caught trespassers on the ranch before,

but we've never seen them up there on that ridge.

The guys were directly above the pond.

Which means one [bleep] thing.

They're after the box.

Should be right around here, huh?

[Duane] Yeah, they have to come this way.

They have to come this way.

See if you can see them up on that night vision.

They had to go through all that brush and stuff.

They've got to come this way.

You see them?

[Chad] No.

I don't see anyone.

[Duane] Huh.

Yeah, if they beat us to that corner then they...

They're out of here.

They was damn sure quick on it.

[Jamie] I just heard it on the radio.

You guys find them?

[Chad] No, no, no. We just got here. We're looking for them, though.

We saw them, right over the ridge. Right there.

Uh, spotted them with the night vision so we hauled ass around and...

Uh, we're looking for them.

- [Jamie] What were they doing? - [Chad] Who knows, huh?

If they beat us to that corner as we was coming up the hill,

they're already gone, if you're not seeing them with those night vision.

[Jamie] Uh, their tracks are right there.

[Chad] Yeah, damn sure is.

- [Jamie] Heading... Heading right that way. - [Chad] Uh-huh.

Or back this way, I guess.

[Jamie] Well, we would have caught... We would have ran into them.

[Chad] That's true. They could've...

They could have took the ridge across that way.

As an investigator, people always leave evidence behind. Always.

Even tonight, you know, they left some...

There was some tracks left behind, and boot prints left behind.

Well, hell, fellas. We're not gonna catch anybody tonight.

But, uh, they were damn sure here.

Charlie will catch them on game cam.

It's a big day tomorrow. Get a good night's rest.

[Chad] Everyone's gotta be on their A-game tomorrow.

- [Duane] Yeah. - [Chad] We don't really got time for this bull [bleep].

[Duane] Yeah, yeah.

You don't have to be a police detective to figure out

if someone's trespassing in the middle of the night, and they flee,

they're doing one of two things.

They're either spying on the project.

Or, they're here to steal something.

I don't like either of those two options.

All right, let's get out of here, fellas.

[Charlie] Whoo-whee. Look at that there.

[Chad] How the [bleep]...

God.

[bleep]

Dead as a hammer.

Look at that brand, Chad.

It's a pitchfork.

[Chad] It kinda looks like there's another one over there.

See that?

Yeah, it is.

[Charlie] Where is it?

Right over here.

[Charlie] Two in the day, right here.

[Chad] Damn.

Look at that.

This has been eaten on.

Something tore it apart.

Sure not a pretty way to go, is it?

[Charlie] I just wonder why they got a pitchfork for a brand.

[Chad] I don't know.

Last year, we kept finding deer that had been torn apart.

That's a kill right there.

And you know, right down the road is Skinwalker Ranch

and there's supposed to be all kinds of animal mutilations over there.

[narrator] Neighboring Duane's property,

Skinwalker Ranch has a long history of strange activity

including animal mutilations,

UFO sightings,

unexplained illnesses,

and sightings of the humanoid creatures

called Skinwalkers.

In 1996,

hotel financier and UFO enthusiast Robert Bigelow

bought the ranch and teamed up with the Pentagon

to study the mysterious land.

The results of the operation were kept under wraps

and all roads to the property have been blocked off.

Then, in 2016,

it was sold to Adamantium Holdings,

a shell company of unknown origin.

Something's out there.

I didn't believe until I live here.

[woman] I don't know what they are.

But it's not the coyotes.

[Chad] It just feels like we've gone from deer to cattle now.

But today's a big day.

We're supposed to meet up

with the other guys this morning.

The plan is to pull the whole box out.

It's make or break right here.

- [Duane] It's time for you to do your magic now, so... - Yeah.

How you gonna do it?

Uh, so the chain's already down there.

I'm gonna hook one side of the chain up to one side of log.

And the other side of the chain,

I'm gonna use my tether, tie it to it.

Follow the tether out...

- which, it'll be anchored and y'all will be holding it. - Yep.

And, uh, all the way out,

we'll pull the tether out,

hook up the chain to the Track-O.

Just use the Track-O to drag that box.

Good.

We know from the scan and from the footage from Chad's dive

that there's some big boulders down there

and that box is definitely gonna get caught up on them.

So yeah, we're gonna have to get in there with a jackhammer

and break up those boulders

before Duane hooks up to it and tries to pull it out.

Yeah, so, let's all just get some rest

and we'll do it first thing tomorrow morning.

Big day. We gotta get, all be focused tomorrow.

You know, there's no how-to manual

to get a 500-year-old box from a flooded cave.

So right now, the plan is to tow it out

and we just have to pray that it works.

The thing is, is when we get this out,

that's where the gold is.

- [Eric] Yeah. - We're all rich.

This could be it. This is why we're here.

- Yep. - This is it.

So, Chadro, you're gonna tie the rope to the chains.

The chains, you're gonna wrap around the box.

And then you're gonna pull one end out.

- What if I hit the chain with this, together? - Yep.

A lot of time and a lot of money

has gone into getting us to this point, right here.

There's a million things that can go wrong,

only one thing that can go right.

So I'm nervous as hell.

- All right, we got a anchor on that rope, right? - [Eric] Yep.

Around this rock, right here.

Let's do it.

All right, let's stay close,

no [bleeping] around.

[Ryan] You got it.

Be safe.

[Eric] How many feet, Charlie?

135 feet.

Okay, good.

Looks like that rope is a bit slack, there.

Why don't you pull it in a bit?

Looks like they're coming up.

Yeah, they're coming up.

- Coming up? - Yeah.

[Chad] What the [bleep] happened?

[Ryan] I can't see anything.

[Chad] Could you even see me?

I couldn't even see the camera.

[Chad] God.

Well, one time we got six, six inches apart and I could barely see you.

We can't see [bleep] down there.

[Eric] Yeah, I think I have the culprit here.

All this silty, clay stuff.

You see these cracks right here?

That indicates clay.

- [Chad] What is it? - It's clay.

You remember that, uh, windstorm we had last week?

- Yeah. - That massive windstorm?

What the hell?

Windblown sand is very, very fine grain.

You know, originally, it has a certain amount of clay and silt in it.

It's powder, okay?

Last week, we had a huge windstorm

and it dumped tons of this stuff in the water.

You stir it up and it could be in suspension for weeks.

Uh, [bleep].

[sighs]

How the [bleep are we gonna get in there?

Chad and Ryan went down

and they were ready to, um, go in,

and attach the chains and everything

and the visibility is, is terrible.

We'll have to get a better plan, fellas, but it... It can work.

Eric's talking about the parts remaining

in the water that's giving them such bad visibility.

And I get that, so it could be days, weeks, or months

before Chad can see, to go down in there.

And if it's months, winter's gonna come in and we might miss our shot.

[sighs]

Chadro, let's go up and talk about this deal.

[Eric] Got everything here?

[Charlie] Yeah, I'm just gonna take this.

This is a, this a major setback right now.

You're gonna have to scratch this for a while.

You know, we got that scan.

Yeah.

Did you say, like, putting a GPS back on me and you lead me or whatever?

Yeah, I gotta, I gotta think about this, I guess.

Yep.

[Chad] A few days ago, I dove into the cavern

with the GPS Lidar tracker that Eric brought in,

and my dad got me to the box using a one-way communication.

And it worked out just fine, 'cause at least I could see where I was swimming.

But diving with no vision

is very sketchy and very dangerous.

I mean, I could get turned upside-down, I could get stuck.

Anything can happen when you're under water.

Uh, there's not a whole lot of outs, so it's, uh,

it's, it's gnarly, for sure.

- Trust you, huh? - Trust me.

- I never misled you. - Yep.

It's his decision, not anybody else's.

It's, it's all up to him.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Thank you. - How was your day?

Uh, it was good.

- Uh... - Just got the kids down.

[sighs]

What's going on?

Oh, uh...

We're, uh, we're doing this, uh, dive where, uh...

You know, the visibility, everything's just bad.

We can't see much and I got lost the other day.

It's like, uh...

I've done dangerous stuff

since we've always been together,

just gnarly, dangerous stuff

and she's always been supportive, but it's, you know.

I wanna be upfront with the dangers

just so everyone's aware.

So we, we have this idea, or my dad has this idea

that he can, uh, he can talk to me in my ear

while I'm going through the cave

and we'll have GPS on me.

You know, he'll be able to see where I'm going through the cave...

and, uh, tell me to go right or left or whatever.

- So it's, I mean, it's like... - [chuckles] Okay.

One of the reasons I fell in love with Chad is his adventure, his danger.

That is what I was drawn to,

but now that we're married and four kids later,

sometimes it just, you know, it's a lot to take.

If, I mean, it's not like I can just say no, you know?

Yeah, but you're, I mean...

You've gotta be confident in your choice to do it

before you risk going in it blind.

But I trust him

and I trust that he can make the decision

when the time comes, if it's what he feels is right to do.

- Trust your instincts, you know? - Yeah.

[Charlie] Slow and deliberate.

- [Eric] We got everything? - I think so.

Chad made the decision to do this.

Um, it was up to him.

Um...

In, in and with that decision, he, uh...

He's gonna be going into harm's way.

What's your pressure there, Chad?

A little over, a little over 3,000.

[Chad] I've made the decision to do dangerous things my entire life.

But now that I'm a dad, I'd like to be around

for a little bit longer, you know?

It's all about risk to reward.

I don't do stupid things for no reason.

But this, finishing what we started here,

I think the benefit outweighs the risk.

I mean, life is full of hard choices.

I just, I just hope I made the right one.

[Eric] Chad, you got your procedure down, with the tether and the...

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And the chain and all that?

Chain's there, we already had it there, so I'm gonna hook the chain...

- one side of the chain up with this. - [Eric] Yep.

[Duane] We have a GPS tracker on Chad.

So I can see where he is on the lidar scan

and guide him through the path to the box.

Once he gets there,

Chad's gonna latch on the tether that he's dragging in with him

to the chain after he wraps it around the box.

Then they'll use the tether line to come out,

and as they come out, we'll use the tether line to pull the chain out.

- And we just stay together the whole time? - [Ryan] Yeah.

- Stay together. - Okay.

- [Ryan] I'll follow your lead. - Okay.

If and when I tell you to pull out, pull out.

You know, we don't know what's gonna go on down there.

I think if we don't have, uh, three quarters of air left when we get to the box,

- we need to come back. - [Ryan] Yeah.

We only need to use one quarter going there.

- If we can't make it in that, it's a no-go. - Okay.

- Copy that. - [Ryan] Okay.

[Eric] I think this is crazy.

It's definitely the most dangerous thing I've been a part of in my career.

I mean, a blind dive into a cave?

[stammers] You just don't do that.

And yet, here I am.

I think we all have a case of gold fever.

[Duane] Can you hear me?

Yeah. Loud and clear.

It's good.

[Charlie] All right, here we go, boys.

I don't know about you, but this...

This dive makes me nervous.

- And we're topside. - [Eric] I know. I know.

Hey, here we go, brother.

- [Ryan] Let's do it. - You good?

- [Ryan] Good. - Anything happens, we're back out, all right?

- No [bleep] around. - [Ryan] Yep.

We're gonna get back out alive.

- [Ryan] Let's do it. - [Charlie] Are we ready?

[Duane on radio] Chadro, you're gonna go back to the east as you drop down.

Feel your way around.

You're pointing in the right direction.

You got about five foot in front of you.

You can go straight.

Keep headed straight.

You got a pretty good distance in front of you.

Keep going.

[Eric] Still going down, Charlie?

[Charlie] Very slow. Very slow.

Keep going, son.

Take it slow right in front of you.

You got a sharp right turn in front of you.

Sharp right turn, son.

Chadro, turn... Turn left right up here.

Slow down.

Turn left, son. Turn left.

Stop. Stop.

Tug on the rope if you can hear me, Chad.

Turn... Tug on the rope if you can hear me, Chad.

Chad, give us two tugs if you can hear me.

Tug on the rope if you can hear me, Chad.

Turn... Tug on the rope if you can hear me, Chad.

Chad, give us two tugs if you can hear me.

When you're down there, five seconds is a long time,

and it's a long time up here.

Things can go wrong in just a matter of seconds.

Two tugs!

- That's your two tugs, Duane. - We got communication.

Okay. All right, here we go.

Keep moving forward.

Forward about ten foot. Straight forward.

Good opening.

Very good opening.

Keep forward. Looking good, son.

And Chad, you're gonna take a right now.

Chad, take a right. Take a right.

There you go.

You got one more left turn.

Slight left...

then in front of you is the box.

I think you're on top of it.

It's what it's showing, son.

Give me two tugs to confirm.

Oh, I got two tugs.

[Eric] He's on it.

- He's on the box. - [Charlie] Yep, he on it.

Do your magic. You know what to do.

He's right on top of the box.

You can see the little bit of movement.

Yeah, I know he's got some work to do down there,

but I just, um... I get worried.

It seems like he's been down there a while.

[Duane on radio] Once you've got that box locked, Chad,

give us two tugs

so we can confirm.

All right, I... I got two tugs.

All right, Chad. Start moving your way out.

Tether your way out and we'll keep the rope tight.

He's coming out, fellas.

- [Eric] Good deal. - He's coming out.

- [Eric] Good deal. - [Duane] He's coming out.

Looking good, son.

Yeah, Duane, have him, uh, take it slow.

You know, most injuries happen on the way back.

[Duane on radio] You're, like, a couple... Couple more turns.

Keep coming. Keep coming.

All right, here he comes. He's coming up.

[Eric] All right.

Little off to the right.

- Grab the rope. - [Charlie] All right. Okay, he's up.

[Eric] Okay. I'm walking over to the Cat.

Don't get tangled up in that rope.

You're pulling some weight now.

This was a really dangerous dive and...

And Chad is pretty fearless to do it.

I'm really happy they got out safe,

and now we just have to clear a path

by breaking up some boulders down there,

and we should be able to drag it out.

- You think we'll be able to get the chain out? - Yeah.

I think we can get the chain, it'll slide through there, but not...

Not the wood, though.

[Duane] Well, we always knew we was gonna have to smash up some rocks,

and that's okay.

If we actually did try to just pull the box out right now,

with all those boulders there,

the box would just break apart.

The chain would come off, uh...

There's no way we could do it.

Well, let's get the chain out, number one.

Number two, let me go back to that footage from last season

and look, uh... Look at what some of those rocks look like

and we'll come up with a plan to...

- [Chad] Yeah. - Get 'em out of the way.

- Yeah, that wood's not coming out like it is right now... - [Eric] All right.

Or we're gonna mess everything up.

[Eric] We'll get the chain out, anyway.

[Duane] When you're trying to do something hard,

I mean really hard,

like what we're doing, nothing comes easy...

There's usually one obstacle, one after the other.

[Eric] Duane, that's getting really taut.

Here it comes. I just felt it pull through.

[Duane] ...but we don't cry about it,

we just keep throwing everything we've got

and try to fix it.

[Eric] We should be seeing that chain soon.

There it is!

- We got the chain! - [Charlie] We got it!

- Right there! - [Eric] Got it!

Ten more feet. Ten more feet, Duane.

- [Charlie] Ooh, that's tight. - [Eric] Yeah, it's tight.

[Chad speaking]

- [Charlie] Yeah. - [Eric] Yeah. We're good.

Good job, man. We got the chain.

- [Charlie] Way to go, brother. - We got the chain.

[Eric] Yeah!

That's a long ways. That's a heavy [bleep] chain.

[Charlie] Yeah, I was nervous the whole time.

- [Eric] You got it hooked to the box? - [Chad] Yeah.

- We got some rocks to deal with. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- [Eric] Let's go, uh... - [Chad] Sweet.

- [Eric] ...figure something out here. - [Chad] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlie] The trespassers we had the other night

are giving me some concern for our safety,

especially now, since this is such a critical time.

We're getting ready to pull the box out of the pond.

These guys had to have gone that way, okay?

- [Charlie] Yeah, there's no other road. - [Jamie] Exactly.

[Charlie] This just goes straight to the pond, is where this goes.

Nobody needs to be watching what we're doing at that pond.

Not right now.

There's way too much on the line,

and it's my job to keep us safe.

I checked the... The closest game cams I have

and there was something really screwy.

It's like they were grainy and you couldn't see anything.

Like something electronically erased or something.

I mean, they really had to...

To know where that camera was...

- [Jamie] Yeah. - [Charlie] ...to even find it in the first place.

It's just really weird.

[on radio] Hey, Duane? This is Eric. Do you copy?

- Hey, Duane. - [Duane] Hey. Hey.

- What's going on? - [Eric] I'd like to show you some of these images.

Uh, this is of Chad diving on the box last season.

You can see...

just some of the size of these rocks right here.

Here's another view.

- They're big. - [Duane] They're big.

If you're gonna drag that box out,

I think we're gonna need to...

To bust those rocks up first.

So, we just bust 'em up into smaller pieces and chuck 'em out?

Yeah.

[Chad] Oh, yeah. That's better.

[clears throat] That's gonna take a while, though.

I don't see any way around it.

Good!

- [Eric] We'll give it a whirl. - [Duane] Yeah.

'Cause we have to have some heavy hitter jackhammers down there

and that's... That's not just your regular old

jackhammer job.

[Eric groans] That... That was heavy!

[sighs]

All right, here's what I came up with, anyways.

- [Eric] Okay. - [Chad] All right.

- I got a octo here. - [Eric] Yeah.

[Chad] This one has eight slots.

All jackhammers are heavy, so they use their own weight to split apart the rock.

These underwater jackhammers are 75 pounds apiece.

And we can air this up to float it out there.

[Eric] Okay.

- And we can control with the buoyancy here. - Perfect.

[Chad] Diving with a 75-pound weight is a recipe for disaster.

You're just gonna drown yourself down there.

So, I rigged up a buoyancy jacket

so we can get the jackhammer down there safely.

We'll have to lift this up,

slide this underneath it.

[Chad] I don't know if you've ever ran a jackhammer,

but it's exhausting.

I know I'm supposed to be be the muscle of this project,

but, uh...

this isn't a one man job.

[Duane] This'll be a two man operation.

- [Eric] Yeah. - 'Cause, uh...

[clears throat] If you bust anything up and it falls on you,

you hang up a flipper, you hang up and get in those rocks,

there is so many things that can go wrong.

- You'd need a buddy diver, for sure. - [Duane] Yeah and that...

That'll pretty well...

He said that'll prob-- Probably be me.

[narrator] Next time on Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch...

[Chad speaking]

[Duane] Yeah. [laughing]

[Chad] There we go.

[Duane] First time I've been in the cavern in about three years.

Back then, I just explored a few feet past the entrance.

Never seen the path to the box with my own eyes,

but Chad has,

and him and Eric say we're gonna have to blast these rocks

and widen the path,

so, hopefully, we can get that box out clean.

[Duane] Operating the jackhammer underwater...

Basically, you gotta dump the weight

just to float the jackhammer in there.

You gotta get the weight of the jackhammer on top of the rock

and then you let that weight do what you need to do.

If it wasn't for Chad and I balancing each other,

we couldn't have balanced that jackhammer

[Chad] Breaking up all those rocks

is a bigger job than anyone expected here,

but we're trying to do something that's pretty much impossible

and we have to do it the right way

because we know what the payoff is.

[Ryan] And what's that?

[Chad] The biggest treasure the world has ever seen.

That's what.
