[narrator reading]

-[man 1] What'd you find? -[man 2] [bleep]

[narrator] While excavating a potential opening to the cavern system

near the B-side,

Chad discovered two gold ingots hidden in a small cave.

Finally get to hold [bleep] gold in my hand.

[narrator] Searching for clues as to where the gold might have come from...

This is the map of 1858.

The ranch would be right around here.

[James] Look here. Are you [bleep] me?

[narrator] ...James and Chad followed an old wagon trail

that led to an abandoned gold mine...

-[James] Oh, yeah. -And it goes way back in there.

[James] Oh!

[narrator] ...and realized they might be on the path

of the fabled Lost Rhoades mine.

[man] Hey! Look at this! Do you know what this is?

[narrator] Back at the ranch,

Duane and Charlie uncovered several new dig sites

left by the trespassers...

We just keep finding these holes.

They sneak in here while we're not here

and it pisses me off.

[narrator] ...along with mysterious tracks

leading from the pond.

This wasn't here yesterday. These are fresh, overnight tracks.

[Charlie] What the [bleep] is this?

No, yeah. Yeah, there's no doubt something's going on here.

[intense music playing]

-[narrator] Blind Frog Ranch stretches over 160 acres. -[animals howling]

A remote and rugged area in northeastern Utah.

It's a place shrouded in legends

-of ancient civilizations... -Wow, look at that.

This has to be hundreds of years back.

[narrator] ...and a mysterious phenomena.

[Duane] There's some kind of dark force.

[man] We got something really weird here.

I've never seen anything like that.

[narrator] Duane Ollinger has owned Blind Frog Ranch for over a decade,

convinced that the land holds secrets...

[man] What the [bleep]?

[narrator] ...and a massive cache of Aztec gold hidden underground...

We're sittin' on something huge.

[narrator] ...rumored to be worth more than three billion dollars.

Your ranch is part of the most famous treasure hunt

that's never been solved.

[narrator] But every time he's gotten close...

[Chad] [bleep] Look at that.

[narrator] ...the land fights back.

What would eat the head off of it?

[dramatic music playing]

-[man 1] Move! -[man 2] [bleep]

-[man 3] Blinking red. -[man 4] Close your mask.

[man 3] Let's get out, go!

[bleep] Go!

[mystical music playing]

-How's it going? -Good.

Good.

So what are you thinking?

[man] This is the area...

Okay, good. Good.

Make yourself at home.

Hopefully, they'll kick these guys outta here.

Uh, they don't belong.

[narrator] For weeks, poachers have been trespassing

onto Duane's property and illegally digging for the treasure

under cover of darkness.

With the increasing number of dig sites

they've found recently,

Duane has called in the authorities for help.

[Duane] We want these government people comin'.

We want 'em comin', I mean, we want 'em to come hard.

The only way we're gonna get these trespassers off our land

is through the federal agencies.

Otherwise, we'll do it the old-fashioned way.

But it doesn't need to come to that.

So, do they have permission to be out here

and cut this hole and dig it?

[Duane] So tell me if they have the right to come out here and do that.

[Duane] You know. Look at the [bleep] that they got here.

[Duane] Because I'm the landowner, I'm trying to say, "Get off!"

What's wrong with that?

Is there something wrong with that?

-[Ranger] These guys-- -Not the one-- Sir, look at me.

[Duane] Look at me.

It's not right.

[Duane] You know, I ain't gonna back off on that one.

[Duane] Yeah.

[man 1] Yeah.

[Duane] All right. Deal.

-[Duane] See ya. All right. -[Ranger] See ya.

[Duane] All right, you [bleep] me.

[Charlie] Well, what'd ya learn down there?

Well, he says we got every government agency comin'.

And so, that's a good thing.

You know, the boots on the ground people

-are always gonna be nice. -[Charlie] Yeah.

Charlie boy, I'm telling you right now,

that's the most illegal [bleep] thing I've ever seen in my life.

And I'm gonna go after the people's ass

that gave them... gave them [bleep] permission

to get on my [bleep] property.

And I'm not [bleep].

[intense music playing]

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

The seven stone monuments.

And the biggest one marks the cave.

[narrator] Following the wagon trail up to Crow Creek,

Chad, James and Skinner

have located seven stone pillars,

sometimes called the Seven Sisters

or Dragonback.

That, according to Mormon journals, are a key landmark

that guards a cave that will reveal the location

of the fabled Rhoades Mine.

[James] From the base, we'll be able to get a good look

at those caves we spotted.

[Ryan] Sounds good.

[exhales]

We could get on top of the rocks over there.

[Chad] At the downed tree, hang a right.

According to legend and clues left behind by Caleb Rhodes himself,

there's supposed to be a series of caves close to the Seven Sisters.

And inside one of those caves,

there's supposed to be something that looks like an eye.

Like a petroglyph or a carving.

And if you stand against that wall and look southeast,

you should be able to see one of the entrances to the Lost Rhoades Mine.

[narrator] Caleb Rhodes' use of the eye as a marker

was not the first time an eye played a significant role

in American history.

Since 1935, the back of a US $1 bill

has featured a pyramid topped off with the all-seeing eye,

also known as the Eye of Providence,

symbolizing divine guidance.

The all-seeing eye's origin stretches back even further

to the late 1700s,

when it was adopted by the Freemasons,

to remind them

that God is always watching their actions

and seeing their thoughts.

Since their founding,

Mormons have also featured the all-seeing eye on their temples,

and some believe the eye also points to one of the seven entrances

of the Lost Rhoades mine.

Let's keep following that [bleep] to the cave.

[Chad] And it points right towards that cave

that they're talking about in the journal.

[James] So we're on the right track.

[intense music playing]

[Chad] Whoa! Hold up.

[suspenseful music playing]

[James] What is it?

[Chad] Am I crazy or are these two caves

the eyes the journal was talking about?

It's like when you look at that, it almost looks like a face.

Like, two eyes looking that way.

[James] Yeah, I see it. That's unbelievable.

My God, that's... Holy [bleep].

[Ryan] The eyes are on the face of the cliff.

[narrator] As they approach the seven pillars,

the team makes a shocking discovery.

[James] That's insane.

[narrator] There are two caves that form what look like human eyes.

[James] It's not etched into the walls.

It's actually a natural formation.

Holy [bleep]. That might be it.

[Chad] But which one is the eye we're looking for?

You really want to get eyeballs on.

It would require rappelling.

-So-- -Oh, yeah, we could just tie off right up there

-and then drop down here. -Let's go try that one right now.

-[Chad] Yeah, we can get-- -We can get up to that one.

Let's try to figure out how to get back into that cave.

[intense music playing]

[Duane] Yeah, we got trespassers.

So I'm gonna spy on them while they're spying on me.

Well, this is a long range spotting scope.

Just a Bushnell. We used it in law enforcement.

I'm gonna put this scope on those guys up there,

see what the hell they're doing.

[narrator] Three days ago, Charlie and Duane discovered a new poacher hole...

[Duane] We just keep finding these holes.

You know, these guys don't care.

They'll just start digging.

[narrator] ...and tracks leading from the pond to Beaver Creek.

[Duane] This wasn't here yesterday.

These are fresh, overnight tracks.

[narrator] Seeking to pursue legal action,

Charlie and Duane are trying to catch the poachers on camera

to use as evidence of trespassing.

[Duane] So we're still dealing with these claim-jumpers.

Our lawyers are saying they can't be up there anymore.

You know, they're supposed to pack it up and get the hell out.

But that doesn't seem to be stopping them.

So hopefully, we can get some evidence and get the state to stop now.

What are those snakes up to, Charlie boy?

[Charlie] They're sitting in a black, older model,

looks like Suburban.

And they're just sitting there, watching.

You think you can spy on me

and I can't spy on you? You're full of [bleep].

I can't get a visual on their faces right now.

But I'll tell you, Duane.

These boys are looking to strike.

Let's go put out a couple more trail cams

and see if we can't catch the, uh, poachers

in the act of coming in here at night.

I'll need the evidence of... of actual trespassing because,

you know, that's, uh, that's definitely a law

that I can prosecute them on.

You know, I'm worried about these trespassers

because every time we start a new dig,

they sneak in here while we're not here and then they dig.

We have to be very careful until we can get them the hell outta here.

[John] Now, we're pretty high up here.

-How are we looking, John? -Good.

[narrator] Just north of the ranch,

Chad is preparing to rappel 250 feet

down the cliff-face of the seven pillars

in an attempt to access the caves.

On the left, we have a crazy, treacherous, like, steep hill

covered in loose rocks.

I mean, it's a recipe for a rock slide right there.

And on the right, we have a cave right in the middle

of this super tall cliff.

So we either have to climb up

or we have to lower ourselves down from above.

[John] We'll start rigging up over here.

But that's why we brought John along.

He's a climbing expert.

When we get down there, we're gonna see if we can get in that cave.

Maybe it opens up. That'd be awesome.

[James] Should I help feed it? Or you're good?

Okay.

See, right now, we're up to about, like, 9,000 foot elevation.

And our drop is about 250 feet, so it's no joke.

[indistinct conversations]

[John] Okay.

I'm going down first.

And then I'll guide you in from the ledge just below the cave.

What a view, huh?

-Yeah, boy! Let's do this [bleep]. -[radio beeps]

[intense music playing]

[narrator] For Chad to enter the cave,

rappelling expert John Gillham must execute a pendulum traverse.

A maneuver where he will anchor the line

and use the rope to swing Chad into the cave mouth.

[Chad] Rappel on!

We ride together, we die together.

So what am I looking for when I go in the cave?

You're looking for the eye.

Apparently, it's either etched in or it's a natural feature.

-The Mormon journal's a bit hazy about that. -[Chad] Got you.

[Ryan] Remember, from below, we thought this whole cliffside

looked like a face with two eyes.

So right now, it's all about figuring out

if it's the left or the right cave that has the clue.

[narrator] At the top of the seven pillars,

Chad is preparing to rappel down the cliff

and into the mouth of one of the caves,

which might hold a clue to the location of the fabled Mormon Lost Rhoades Mine.

[Chad] It looks like this first cave is pretty shallow.

So if I can get in front of it,

we should be able to get a good look inside.

[Ryan] All right.

[Chad] Man, they're not exactly making this easy for us.

[James] That's why nobody's found it yet.

[breathing heavily] Rappel on!

We ride together, we die together.

[intense music playing]

[Chad grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[James] How's it feel?

[Chad] Whoo! Feel alive, boys!

[whoops]

It's kinda like casting a fishing line,

trying to get in that right spot.

Fly fishin' with Chad.

[Chad straining] Right in here.

[John] Definitely swinging on rappel...

[breathing heavily] ...and literally thrusting yourself in...

is going to be tricky.

I'm hoping maybe it'll be... be a little graceful for us.

Just go nice and smooth as possible.

[radio beeps]

[bleep] Copy that. Swinging the line.

[intense music playing]

Come on.

[narrator] Rappelling expert John Gillham is attempting a pendulum maneuver,

using momentum to swing Chad into the cave mouth.

-[grunts] [bleeping] -[radio beeps]

[bleep]

[dramatic music playing]

[radio beeps]

[bleep]

Uh, go for Chad. You okay?

[radio beeps]

With that overhang ledge, we're trying to get over here.

We swing, and then you try to grab something,

and you just lose it.

I mean, it's no joke.

[radio beeps]

-If there's a way in, I'll get in. -[radio beeps]

So I've never gone-- I've never gone rappelling.

[chuckles] Now I'm going off a 200-foot drop.

[Ryan] So at what point do I get to back out?

Start backing out once I get this off you.

'Cause then you're on the main line.

Oh, I meant backing out of doing this whole thing.

Yeah, it's okay. It's... nice and slow.

[sighs]

[John] On belay!

-[dramatic music playing] -[Ryan breathing heavily]

He's looking good!

[triumphant music playing]

[John] Holy [bleep].

10-4.

[James] He's looking good.

[grunts] [bleep]

Holy [bleep].

[suspenseful music playing]

How's it going?

[music intensifies]

[pensive music playing]

[Ryan] I had so much adrenaline going. [bleep] that was crazy.

I couldn't see any symbols or anything else.

The first cave was so shallow

there was no way you could stand in there and look out.

[Chad] We struck out with the right cave

but luckily we have one more to explore.

The problem with the left side is one wrong step

could trigger a rock slide.

[narrator] The left eye cave sits at approximately 8,800 feet elevation.

And reaching it involves a steep climb

through loose rocks and sand.

-[rocks thudding] -[bleep]

-[bleep] -[Ryan] You all right?

[James] I mean, the entire [bleep] thing just collapsed.

-All of it. -It did, yeah.

[James] [bleep]

The whole goddamn side of the hill gave way.

[Chad] Everybody be careful where you step.

These rocks will slide right down.

[James] Yeah, all right. [bleep]

[tense music playing]

[Ryan] How's your shoulder?

[James panting] This is...

It's hard to get up.

Do you want me to take the... detector?

James, you good?

You all right?

[James continues panting]

[Ryan] Hey, you need anything?

Get a water.

Take a seat, man.

[Chad] Yeah, nice and cool. You all right, James?

Your heart? Oh, it is?

[bleep]

[heart beating]

[Ryan] Well, he fell earlier.

-[Chad speaking indistinctly] -And this is a... this is a really difficult hike.

Comin' up on the sand.

And the... the altitude.

[heart beating]

[heart beating]

[Chad] James, tell us what you need, man.

Do you need water?

-Now, I'm startin' to hear again. -[Chad] Okay, good.

-Maybe you're just over exhilarated, maybe? -Uh, yeah.

There you go. I caught my breath finally.

Yeah, I can breathe.

-[Chad] Yeah. -Couldn't breathe.

[James] I think laying down helped.

I suddenly started blacking out and sweating

and I couldn't hear anybody.

You know, when I'm flying, like in the airplane, sometimes [bleep] happens,

like, if you pull heavy Gs, all the blood can go down to your feet

and you can just pass out just like that, man.

So you gotta clench up

and to keep the blood up top.

So when you laid down,

-I think the blood started pumping to your head. -[James] Yeah.

Instantly, it started feeling better.

Couldn't breathe. That's never ever happened.

You know, I'm not sure if it was the fall or the altitude.

I seriously thought I may have been having a heart attack.

[exhales]

Look at this place out here. It's as rugged as it gets.

They would've probably had to call in a helicopter evac for something like that.

The rest and the water helped a little bit.

I'm all right.

Man, look at this place.

This is huge.

If you were to put your back against the wall here,

and if you look out there...

What are we looking for? We looking for...

On the map, we can see what looks like a ridge and some taller trees.

I mean, that's clearly a ridge and those tall trees run right up the hidden canyon.

[James] Oh, wow.

Yeah, I see it.

You'd have to be up here in order to sit that.

[narrator] Following the gaze of the eye cave southeast,

the team sees a hidden canyon about two miles across the valley.

That's where we need to go.

Let's do it.

[intense music playing]

Mm.

I thought I saw something over there.

We'll catch 'em.

[narrator] For the past few days,

Charlie has been surveilling the property,

hoping to catch the poachers trespassing

onto Blind Frog Ranch,

so they can pursue legal action and get them removed from the area.

[Charlie] I'm gonna take you down here to a spot where

I actually saw something really weird.

And whatever it was, I even got a photo of it.

This is it.

Right down there in that body of water.

You know, I was patrolling the property this morning, doing some surveillance

and checking the trail cams for trespassers and... right down there,

in these weeds, sounded like water moving.

And I was able to grab my phone

and this is what I got.

But that's a huge... whatever it is.

And there were no legs that I could see whatsoever.

It looks like the tail of its back here.

But that's only about 12 to 13 feet stickin' out of the water.

The other half is driving straight down.

I don't know what in hell it was.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.

That's a serpent-looking thing.

But it's got scales like an alligator would,

all along its back.

But I'll tell you one thing. It definitely wasn't the trespassers.

[intense music playing]

[James] Hey, I'm starting to see a lot of mineralized rock.

[Ryan] Really interesting.

See all that? They're quartz veins, Ryan.

[Chad] Quartz leads to gold, huh?

[James] Yeah. That's what they would've followed.

[narrator] Chad, James and Ryan

are following the gaze of the Mormon eye

to a canyon they spotted two miles southeast.

[Ryan] I think we're in the right area.

What is that?

You guys see kind of what looks like a stacked row of rocks?

Yeah, looks different than everything else.

[mysterious music playing]

[Chad] Kind of looks like where you found the gold ingots.

I see almost what looks like a stacked row of rocks up here.

And above that...

it looks to be some kind of a depression

-or a void. -[James] Let's check it out.

[grunts]

There's a lot of what looks like tailings over here.

Like [bleep] was dumped.

All this crushed up rock like this? That's not normal. No way.

Yeah, it looks like they were mining. [bleep] Look here.

[Ryan] It's like everything caved in.

That was the overhang.

They blew that up and filled this whole [bleep] full of rocks.

It's obviously something important that they covered up.

[James] I think you're right on the money.

Here.

-Are you seeing anything? -[Ryan] It's too tight.

Wait. Guys, you can feel cold air coming out from down here.

[Chad] Are you [bleep] me?

-That's how you know there's a cave or not. -[Ryan] Yes, exactly.

[Ryan] You can feel the movement of ice-cold air.

[Chad] It is 100% there is a cave.

Feel that. Feel it. It's like an ice cube.

-Feel it. -It's... freezing.

Holy [bleep].

[narrator] The strong flow of cold air sucking into the hole

indicates a substantial cavern underground.

Differences between underground and surface temperatures

create a pressure system

that can be used to estimate the size of the cavern network below.

[Chad] Look at that. It's sucking it in.

-[James] Look where it's going. It's going right down. -[Chad] It's pushing down.

It's going down that way.

-[Chad] Yeah, to the south. -[James] Right towards Blind Frog!

Yeah, there... there's something metal down here.

Pull it up, dude.

[Chad] What the [bleep] is that?

That's an iron spike, look.

-[Chad] Like a railroad spike? -[James] Yeah.

[Ryan] Someone hitted it with a hammer. It's all deformed.

[Chad] That could be a [bleep] railing system.

[James] Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

They had a [bleep] railing system in here, hauling this [bleep] outta here.

This is definitely a mine shaft of some kind.

100% that was blown up and covered.

They're hiding something, obviously.

[narrator] The discovery of an ore cart rail tie and a tailing pile of quartz

indicate that this collapsed cave was once a mine.

The question is, could it be one of the seven entrances

to the Lost Rhoades Mine

mentioned in Mormon journals?

We found all these tailings all over the place.

And then we find this iron spike.

It's at least 19th century, from all the oxidization that has occurred.

It looks like a collapsed mine.

This is an entry into the underground system.

This is what we've been looking for.

My God, this whole thing is just gonna keep collapsing.

There's no way I can keep pulling out these little pebbles

and make any kind of headway. It's gonna take something bigger.

-Yeah. -We need equipment in here.

[Ryan] Is there even a way to get an excavator up here?

I dunno how the hell you bring an excavator in here.

You'd need a Chinook.

Also, we're on BLM land.

We can't just keep digging. We have to get the proper permits.

We have to check to see if anybody has a claim in this area.

-[Ryan] That could take months. -[bleep]

Look at all this tailing.

They've been digging out of this [bleep] for years, man.

And you stick your hand in there, it's cold, there's a mine in there, 100%.

But to get all that [bleep] out, we'd have to have a major mining operation.

'Cause these are huge boulders we gotta pull out.

We can't get equipment in here, we gotta get mining permits.

We gotta do all kinds of [bleep].

I mean, it's a shame but we just can't dig this out.

[Ryan] The only way this thing is gonna get opened up

is with a major mining operation.

[Ryan] I want in. I want in now.

-It's not gonna happen. -Like, I'll keep moving the boulders

-but I just-- -It's not gonna happen right now.

[James] You just can't get these big ones out of here without equipment.

[narrator] Following the gaze of the eye cave,

Chad, James and Skinner

have discovered a collapsed mine about two miles away...

-[Chad] James, look at this [bleep]. -[James] Oh, man.

[narrator] ...possibly one of seven entrances

to the fabled Rhoades gold mine.

The only way this thing is gonna get opened up

is with a major mining operation.

Look around. We're in the middle of nowhere.

This is an entry into the underground system.

Unfortunately, we're gonna have to find another way into the underground.

We might not be able to get in here

but look where this tunnel is pointed.

It goes down directly towards the ranch.

This is just one of seven entrances

according to the Mormon journal.

The other six could be off BLM land.

Maybe even on our property.

[Chad] So this might connect to the Keyhole Cavern system.

-Below Blind Frog Ranch. -They're all connected.

[narrator] With the mine entrance blocked

and inaccessible by heavy equipment,

the team will have to find one of the other six recorded entrances

closer to Blind Frog Ranch.

Let's go.

Blind Frog Ranch is right down this way.

And the cave appears to lead directly to it.

[narrator] By following the direction of the cave,

they hope to be able to locate where and if it intersects

with the Keyhole Cavern underneath the property.

[intense music playing]

[Duane] Welcome back, fellas.

[Chad] This trip was wild.

We rappelled down this, like, 250-foot cliff,

looking for this cave.

You guys went rappelling without us?

[all chuckling]

[man] You couldn't handle this, Charlie.

[Duane] Charlie could handle it.

Yeah.

But eventually, it led us to a collapsed cave.

So we started getting some of the rocks out

and feel, like, cool air, like a breeze.

The cool air, to me, means either there's another entrance

where it's blowing air through the whole system.

Or there's a much deeper cavern system below

-that it's tied into. -Exactly.

[narrator] The volume of airflow in and out of a cave opening

is an indication of the size of the cavern system below.

The larger the cavern system,

the stronger the airflow will be in and out of the cave.

This is a geological phenomenon known as cave breathing.

This could have been one of the entrances to the Rhoades Mine.

But where is this place?

Well, that's the problem. It's on BLM land.

And this isn't just like some easy process.

Like, there's huge boulders

and we'd have to have a full-scale mining operation there.

You know, fellas, that's all good information,

but we can't get off our property.

We know what claim-jumpers are doing to us

and we don't wanna be one of those ourselves.

But the bottom line is that that's just one entrance.

-The legend is there is seven entrances. -[James] Correct.

So if we can find out wherever that tunnel leads,

maybe we can find one of these other entrances.

That's damn good thinking, fellas, and maybe will lead to what we're doing here.

But right now, we got... we got bigger problems.

Yeah? Like what?

The trespassers, they are a top priority.

You know, if we can catch 'em in the act,

we can move them the hell outta here.

[narrator] The team heads out to sweep the property

for evidence of the trespassers' operation.

Charlie and Chad climb up to investigate

what appears to be a camp hidden at high altitude.

Yeah, I've been watching these guys... up here.

Of course, they've been watching me, too.

But let's see what they got going on up here.

[Chad] [bleep] man, they got [bleep] scattered all over the [bleep] place.

[Charlie] I can see these piles of dirt.

What the [bleep]? Look how big this is, man.

Look at this [bleep].

[Charlie] Holy [bleep]! Look at this.

Man.

[intense music playing]

This is way deeper than those other ones.

I'm talking that's like 25 to 30 foot.

They're looking for the treasure like we are.

They're treasure-hunting.

They're trying to beat us to the punch.

We spent near 14 years up here now.

And they think they can just run right in here and start digging a bunch of holes.

And just walk right out with all of the treasure,

whatever it might be.

I'm tired of this [bleep].

-[Chad] Yeah. -This ends now.

Let's-- Let's stop these [bleep].

What you got over here?

Well, got a little surprise for you.

[Charlie] What's that?

-[Duane] Oh, hell. -[Ryan] That your own beer?

That's when you know you've made it.

You got your face on a beer.

The Golden Hef.

[Duane] Oh, hell.

[James] Baby cow. Look at that deal.

-Cheers. -Cheers, boys.

How was Crow Creek this weekend?

Oh, it was good. So we hiked all the way up Crow Creek

and we find this huge, collapsed cave.

-We started digging some rocks outta there. -[James] Yeah.

And you could feel, like, cold air.

If we have difficulty with that, there's gotta be another entrance close by.

[Duane] How do I look?

[Charlie] 20 years younger.

Well, it's better looking than I am.

[all laughing]

They must have doctored that up a little bit.

-Yeah, they damn sure did. -For the ladies out there.

-Put that pretty face on a beer can. -Yeah.

[Ryan] Charlie, where's your face? I'm surprised you're not on there.

[Chad] He's on there. He's on the bottom.

[all laughing]

-[Chad] They have a railing system here. -Yeah.

To pull out the dirt.

Chad and I just found a brand new hole

that was being dug by the trespassers coming out here.

It's a fresh dig, and they're probably coming at night when we're not here.

They're seeing what we're doing, constantly.

[narrator] Waiting until the team leaves for the night to dig,

the trespassers have carefully chosen dig sites

that are around the perimeter

in order to avoid detection.

Oh, there's no way they could've done this by hand.

What else would they have done it with?

They didn't have an excavator. There's no tracks that excavators--

No, there's no tracks

but that's a lot of damn work by hand.

I don't know how many people they had out here.

What the [bleep]? Why here?

-I'm tired of this [bleep]. This ends now. -Yeah.

Let's, let's stop these [bleep].

[tense music playing]

[narrator] Meanwhile, Duane and James have spotted

something unusual on the property.

Here it is, James.

They got some gear.

-Charlie boy! -[Charlie] Yeah?

Come on down here!

They got some kind of gear up here.

-Is this theirs? -Yeah.

-[Charlie] Well, that's a damn tent. -[Duane] Look at that sack.

[Charlie] Their bags.

-Yeah, bring it up here. -Should I bring it--

[Duane] What the hell?

-[Charlie] Yeah. -This is explosive wire. Look at that.

It's dynamite, boys.

They're blowing [bleep] up out here.

[Duane] They damn sure are.

That's on the ranch. We gonna keep that as evidence.

All right. Good thinkin'.

That hole up there is 30 foot deep.

These guys ain't [bleep] around.

They've been up here for months.

-Yeah. [bleep] -You know what?

This [bleep] ends now.

-It ends [bleep] now, boys. -[Chad] Yeah.

[narrator] For Duane to get the poachers removed from his property,

he'll need to take matters into his own hands

and to the courts.

Well, looks like they left more of their [bleep].

We damn sure got a present for their asses.

[bleep] trespassers.

The people out here doin' it think they have the right to do it.

Here's how it's gonna go down.

I'll get a hold of the lawyers. We'll get this [bleep] shut down.

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

We're gonna pop a hole in the energy zone and see if we can find that void.

Chad. Got some trespassers on foot.

-Right there. -Right there.

[Duane] [bleep] Charlie, your right!

There they go. They're running right through there.

[Duane] Charlie boy, they're haulin' ass.

What the hell is that?

[bleep] Something killed this. I don't know what the hell it is.

Duane!

What you described, that doesn't exist up here in this region.

This is something very odd I haven't seen before, and I've seen it all.

[Duane] Here we come.

We're gonna take the rat hole rig right down through this ravine.

If he slips, it's dangerous.

It's no game.

Here we go. That'll make his [bleep] pucker up.

Be careful of collapse.

-[Chad] This could be unstable. -It could be very unstable.

[bleep]

[Charlie] Starting to see some storm clouds.

We got a [bleep] 100-foot lightning rod stickin' up.

[thunderclap]

That lightning's two miles away!

Oh [bleep].

-[thunderclap] -[bleeping]
