Original subtitles

Bro, those are old, old timbers.

Look at this. Look at this.

Look at these old timbers in here.

- It's an inclined shaft. - It is, man.

This is a door.

I'm going in that hole right now.

Someone sealed this tunnel off a very long time ago.

You can tell just by looking at these

that this is hundreds of years of decay.

Let's do this.

- Here we go. - Yeah.

Be careful. We got to watch our heads.

OK.

- Watch your head, brother. - All right.

Holy [bleep] man, this goes way back in here, bro.

- I'm coming, Chad. - Come on in.

Nice.

Look at this shit.

[bleep] yeah.

Oh, my god. Look at this.

- This thing continues. - It goes further back. Look at that.

Look, it goes up here, too.

I'm just jotting this down.

We don't want to get lost in here.

I'm noting down every turn.

You know, how far we've traveled,

you know, that sort of thing,

so-- what? - Josh, shh, shh.

There's someone in here.

Legends of ancient treasures...

This has to be hundreds of years back.

...and unexplained phenomena...

What the hell is that?

...meet at a 160-acre property in northeast Utah,

known as Blind Frog Ranch,

where Duane Olinger and his team

are digging in search of long-lost Aztec gold.

Could the Aztecs have discovered this?

But the closer they get...

I finally get to hold gold in my hand.

...the more the land fights back.

- Poison gas. - Go! [bleep] Go!

Now Duane will move heaven...

Here you go.

...and Earth... - Fire in the hole.

...until he gets to the bottom of this mystery.

We've started this whole deal, and we're sure as hell

gonna finish it.

And solves what's lurking below...

Holy [bleep], there's something in there.

guys!

...at Blind Frog Ranch.

Do you see it? It's coming right in.

I'm flying the drone right now with the LiDAR equipment on it.

This particular unit is 4k resolution.

I've been scanning the meteorite fault zone

between the open pit and the energy zone.

Ultimately, it'll give me a 4D image,

a very detailed image of this area.

We'll be able to subtract out the vegetation here.

If there's an underground opening here,

this is where it's gonna be.

For the past several weeks, the team has been searching

for an opening to the keyhole chamber

along the meteorite fault zone.

These are doorways into the underground.

It's connected to that keyhole chamber.

I think this place does have a lot of potential.

And after discovering a collapsed opening near

the open pit mine...

This whole thing is a void, man.

...the team believes they have found an underground void that

connects to the keyhole chamber.

Now, Eric is using enhanced LiDAR to scan one mile

of the fault line to identify other potential openings.

So, this is my final pass here.

I've got it pre-programmed to do about a mile square grid.

Once I'm done here, I'll go back, look at the data,

and find the most compelling spot

where the underground opening will be.

And so, I'm just gonna let it run here.

The end result is an amazingly detailed high-resolution map.

We can do things like subtract out the vegetation.

And so, what I can actually see is, I can see the geology.

And that allows me to look at features

such as cave openings.

They show up as little anomalies, basically.

And I can pinpoint each of those locations,

get a GPS coordinate on them, and then we can get to them.

So what I'm seeing here is

there's a cave opening right there.

I see another cave opening right there.

Fault zone, there's another one right there.

This is what we need to check out.

How's it going, guys.

I've gathered up the fellas today to go over

the LiDAR results that we have,

I'm psyched to hear what Eric has uncovered.

I mean, every little clue we find can lead us possibly

into another entrance

to this underground keyhole cavern system we have.

We got the results of the LiDAR scan here.

I've got some real encouraging signs here.

I'm looking at several intriguing possibilities.

I've got three potential openings

that I want to investigate.

They're all spread across the fault line.

This area here, if you look on the bottom here,

you'll have a lat and long

that is definitely worth looking into.

Eric's scans have located three openings

along the fault line that are large enough to be

potential entrances into the underground void.

All are just south of the open pit mine

and the collapsed opening.

I mean, if you're finding these sites

on the same fault line, that same trend,

this is the path that we want to be on

and that we want to follow, right here.

I mean, that's incredible, Eric.

I mean, we got multiple fronts

that we have to attack here, right?

And each of these sites has

different, unique qualities about them.

I think we should split up and check them all right now.

- What do you think? - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Agreed.

- Hell yeah. - Let's do this.

Pack up and go.

I can already see a crisscross of more fault right up here.

Let's keep moving. We're almost there.

To investigate the openings

identified on the LiDAR scans...

Right over there.

That'll give us a direct line down.

We're looking just about due north, right up in here.

...the team will split up into three groups.

Eric will examine the cave to the south.

Chad and Josh will go north, leaving James and Charlie to

inspect the cave to the west.

Yeah, right here, Charles, is where they crisscross.

- The fault line? - Yeah, at the creek.

So we'll go across this way.

Well, this is what we're looking for.

What the hell is this over here?

What is that?

- That's a ear tag. - Oh, man.

Something ripped that cow's ear off.

- That's number 840... - 846?

Number 846. And that's a local rancher.

Where's the rest of the cow?

Look here.

Oh, shoot. There it is.

- That's the rest of it right there. - Yeah.

I can still see the meat

protruding out of the neck. - Yep.

You can see the bone sticking out of the neck where it

snapped it, too. - Yeah.

Something got a hold of this cow, and it was a vicious kill.

Let's keep moving.

There's a lot of mineral coming up out of the ground

on these faults right here. - Yeah.

Careful right through here.

The stream. Hey, look.

Look right here. Look at this.

That's it. That's our opening.

That looks large in there. Look at that.

It almost looks like somebody

might have tried covering it up.

Damn, James. That thing opens up.

Plenty of room in there, and it looks like it goes back

to the right and goes up this way.

I'm gonna go in and take a look.

Let's see what we can see on camera when I get in there.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, ugh.

I'm gonna have to get past a [bleep]-ton of spiders here.

Not my favorite.

Oh [bleep].

Goes back.

This has been dug out,

and... there is copper everywhere.

- Oh, hell. - Oh, man, look at this.

They were headed northwest, from what I could tell.

It looks like they were cutting across the fault.

Hey, it really does open up.

Yeah. There's some bones back here.

It was a lair for something at some point.

James.

I'm kind of losing sight of you out here,

so how deep are you?

It goes about 12 feet back.

This might have gone down deeper, and all the runoff

and the mud came in and closed this up.

But it's a dead end back here, Charles.

- I'm gonna head back up. - OK.

That opening's about 20 yards from here.

Just south of the collapsed pit, Chad and Josh are

approaching the cave opening identified by the LiDAR scan,

which sits three quarters of a mile away

from the keyhole chamber.

Hey, Chad, check this out.

Yeah, man, I think this earth has been disturbed.

Could be like a washout or don't really-- ?

I don't think so.

I think this soil has been worked.

Somebody's moved this soil.

- Huh. - Right here.

that's our opening, right there.

Yep, that's it.

- See this tree still hanging on, barely? - Yeah.

So this just dropped not that long ago.

What do you think, this is erosion or what?

Yeah, I don't think this is just simple erosion.

It looks like all this material has caved in.

This has been worked.

Well, let's dig it out.

- Look at this big-- - Is it a capstone?

Yeah, let's see if we can get this rock.

Can we move that rock? Get it, Chad.

There.

Is that a timber?

, I think that's a timber, Chad.

That is definitely logs in there.

Bro, those are old, old timbers.

Look at this. Look at this.

Look at these old timbers in here.

- These are hand hewn. - What else is [bleep] in there?

This is a door.

Holy [bleep].

2 Bro, those are old, old timbers.

Look at this. Look at this.

Look at these old timbers in here.

- It's an inclined shaft. - It is, man.

This is a door.

Chad and Josh are investigating one of the three

cave entrances found with Eric's LiDAR scan and have

unearthed what looks to be an ancient doorway

to the underground.

The opening is three quarters of a mile north

from the keyhole chamber and seems to descend

deep into the earth at a steep angle.

I'm gonna pull this top timber.

- All right. - Here we go.

- Look at that thing. - This is old [bleep].

Look at that. Look at that.

That is an old timber.

Someone sealed this tunnel off a very long time ago.

You can tell just by looking at these that this is

hundreds of years of decay.

It's just-- it crumbles.

It just crumbles apart.

This has been underground for, I mean, hundreds of years.

This could be like the same material that's in the pond.

The wood looked just like this.

A few years ago, the team discovered a large

timber box submerged in the pond cavern system.

These door fragments appear to be very similar.

- The way this is built, the way this is constructed... - Yeah.

I mean, this predates westerners.

- This is hand hewn, huh? - This is all hand hewn.

Every bit of it.

Whoever put these timbers in here, they were some of

the first people to ever mine, explore, prospect, anything.

Hell yeah.

Nobody's been in here since these timbers were put in.

So we'll be the first ones back in.

Let's keep digging, man.

Hey, this thing, it definitely goes down.

We got an inclined shaft.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

It's going right down into the ground, man.

This opening that we just discovered sits about a half

mile away from the keyhole chamber.

And the keyhole chamber descends about 200 feet underground.

So the fact that this opening goes down,

it's a fantastic sign.

This opening can get us into the keyhole chamber.

Let's do this.

Right now, there's no timber...

to, like, hold it up. What does that mean?

I don't know how stable that is.

You know, it could come down on our head, for all we know.

Just be looking around you 360 when you're in there.

Yeah.

As a miner, I'm seeing rockfall.

I'm seeing this place is dangerous.

And we're gonna have to be extra careful going forward.

- All right, I'll be one, you two. - OK.

Joel, you're three.

Ride or die, baby. Here we go.

- Yeah. - Be careful.

- We got to watch our heads. - OK.

- Watch your head, brother. - All right.

Holy [bleep] man, this goes way back in here, bro.

- How stable does it look? - It looks OK.

There's some shiny [bleep] in here.

- I'm coming, Chad. - Come on in.

There you go. Easy does it.

Nice.

[bleep] yeah. Oh, my god.

Look at this.

This thing continues.

And it goes further back. Look at that.

Look, it goes up here, too.

- Don't touch the ceiling, Chad. - OK.

There.

All right. Hey, guys,

Look, this is a big structure.

I'm already seeing this thing's unstable.

We've got rock just hanging here, lots of cracks.

So there's lots of unstable areas.

Don't touch any of that.

You see any dust in the air, speak up, say something,

because that's usually what you see right before

a major collapse.

And if we see that, we got to get the hell out of here.

- Here we go. - Yeah.

Look at that in here.

it's like they went in that way for a little bit.

I say we keep going, see how far it goes.

Yeah, looks like it heads in this direction.

Here we go.

What's this, Chad? What the [bleep]?

- Oh, yeah. - Look at this.

Holy [bleep], it does.

Look at this.

These underground workings are old, ancient.

I mean, hundreds of years old, Chad.

The older, the better.

Look at this right here. Here's your contact zone.

This is the mineralization that they were following in.

- Right. - They were definitely following mineral.

That's where your gold, copper, silver, it's all going

to be right in there. - I'll be damned.

It keeps on going.

Look at this [bleep].

- Look at this. - Oh, my god.

Look at this.

I'm following this LiDAR scan here,

which runs right along the fault.

And what I'm looking for is an entrance to that mine.

I think it might be right over this ridge right here.

Just north of the energy zone, Eric is investigating the final

opening identified from his LiDAR scan.

It is the closest opening to the keyhole chamber,

just a third of a mile away.

The nice thing about LiDAR is

using technology

instead of your legs to find something.

I mean...

if we were to scan this whole area by foot, it would probably

take us months, if not years.

Oh, man, here it is.

Damn, look at this.

It looks like this could have been a natural entrance

at one point, a natural cave, but I can definitely see

somebody worked this, somebody pulled material out.

I want to go see what's in there, man

Wow.

Well, it's going in.

There is a nice mineralization right in there.

There's the vein.

This could have originally been a natural cave system,

but it appears evident that it was obviously mined.

And so you can see sort of a geometric pattern of

the entrance itself. It looks a little bit dicey.

Right here, it looks OK.

I'm not seeing any real loose stuff.

I need to get down and see how deep this goes.

This doesn't look good.

We've got a cave-in here.

I see some very large boulders

that have collapsed from the roof of this mine.

I can definitely see workings that mankind opened this up

and pulled out material.

So this could be huge, man.

This could get us down into that keyhole chamber.

But huge boulders are clogging up the whole system here.

This thing is huge, man.

Hell yeah.

Look, it branches off over here.

Holy [bleep], Josh, look at this.

Look how far that goes back there.

Three quarters of a mile away from the keyhole chamber,

Chad and Josh have descended an estimated 50 feet

underground into the northernmost cave opening.

The path continues to lead them downward at a steep pitch.

This keeps going down.

- We've got bad rock right here. - Yeah.

Huge rock, too, man.

There's another drift this way too.

I mean, this is, by far, the largest mine we've been in.

I agree. It keeps going on.

- It is extensive. - It is.

The keyhole chamber is about

a quarter mile southeast of here.

And by my reckoning,

about 700 feet descending down from this point.

So each turn we come to, we're gonna try and choose

the one that leads us towards the keyhole chamber.

Because it's an absolute maze down here.

Holy [bleep].

This goes back pretty far, man.

Yeah, I'm just jotting this down.

We don't want to get lost in here.

I'm noting down every turn,

you know, how far we've traveled, you know,

that sort of thing, so. - Josh, shh.

- What? - Shh.

There's someone in here.

2 This goes back pretty far, man.

Yeah, I'm just jotting this down.

We don't want to get lost in here.

I'm noting down every turn, you know,

how far we've traveled, you know, that sort of thing.

- Josh, shh-- shh. - What?

There's someone in here.

I keep hearing footsteps in that direction.

You didn't hear that?

No.

What the [bleep]?

These mines echo. There's all kinds of noises.

Rock moves.

I'm telling you, man, your mind can play tricks

on you underground. It absolutely can.

I mean, I'm not saying you didn't hear it.

You did hear it.

I'm just saying that, like, this is what happens.

Mines are known for auditory pareidolia,

which old miners called "water voices."

The phenomenon occurs as the brain attempts to decipher

distorted underground sounds.

Noises like flowing water or footsteps can echo off

the walls, intensifying these auditory illusions.

You can make a noise, and then you hear a noise,

so it's actually your own sound coming back at you.

Acoustics underground can really play tricks on

your mind. - All right, you ready?

- Yep. - All right, gotcha.

But I really can't discount what Chad is saying.

I mean, there could be animals down here.

I really don't know.

But we've got to be very careful moving forward.

All right. This thing is going deep, fast.

- Yeah. - We're on an incline.

- It's like an inclined shaft. - OK.

My God. This is all collapsed here.

This is unstable all through this area.

And we're still descending.

I mean, we're pushing 150 feet deep.

You see this boulder right here?

God almighty, look at that thing.

- That was over there. - Holy [bleep].

So that whole thing collapsed.

Sure did.

This is a major intersection in the mine.

We've got a passage this way where they dug back up

towards the surface.

They drifted off this way at this level.

They went deeper right here, and the main trunk

goes this direction.

- So we've got four possible ways to go from here. - OK.

150 yards into the cave system,

and roughly 100 feet underground,

Chad and Josh have hit a four-way fork in the tunnel.

Every time there's a turn, I'm just marking the bearing

with my compass, and then just--

I'm tracking paces every single time,

and I'm drawing out a little bit of a map too.

This is the entrance.

We've come all the way around this way.

We hit this drift. We put that drift here.

And we're back here at this corner right now.

I think I'm gonna foll--

Let's keep following this main trunk this way.

- All right. - Let's keep moving.

Chad, this splits into two different passages here.

- Did it really? - Yeah.

I say this is the way to go.

- This looks pretty stable in here. - Yeah.

But it's smaller.

I mean, from where we entered, we got to go about a quarter of

a mile and then down about 300 foot in elevation to get back

to the keyhole chamber, at least.

- Right. - All right, you ready?

Yep.

I keep hitting my head on this.

It's these bastards were short back then, or something, huh?

Yeah, they were smaller people, that's for sure.

Whoa, stop, Chad.

- That's a pit right there. - Damn right.

You can't even see the bottom of that.

What do you think that is?

Well, in a mine, you call that a winze,

and that just accesses a different level of the mine.

But I'm not sure why that's there.

Damn, that would have been over, huh?

Oh, my god.

I mean, this is just like that mineshaft

that my dad saw in Mexico.

It went over 100 foot straight down.

Damn, that's a long ways down.

Several months ago,

Duane and James visited Mexico City,

where the ancient capital of the Aztecs once stood.

There, they observed a vertical shaft that was used as

a burial chamber.

They found at the bottom the remains of a female.

- Down at the bottom? - Yeah.

It's a similar design as that.

So it's like, could be the same people.

Could be the Aztecs here.

I mean, it certainly seems to mimic that, doesn't it?

Yeah.

And also, while scanning the energy zone,

the team discovered

a strikingly similar vertical shaft.

There is a void right here.

Look at that.

We have to find out what's down here.

Hell yeah.

Hey, we got a rope?

Thank you, yes.

Let's tie that to the camera and drop a line down there.

Let's see how deep this goes.

Nothing like unraveling rope, 600 feet underground, huh?

Exactly.

Here we go. Let's do this.

Do you feel any air coming up at all?

I can feel air coming out of here.

Or what do you think it could be?

Yeah, I mean, that means that

these are access to other areas.

So there's air getting pumped through here somehow.

Damn, this rope's still going, man.

- You can feel it. - How long is this rope?

- Like 250 feet? - 250 isn't it?

I wouldn't have guessed it'd be that deep, man.

You know how much material they would have had to remove?

How did they get it out of here?

This is still going, man.

It's still going.

It's still going. We're gonna need more rope

to even get to the bottom of this.

We're out of rope.

- That's the end of it. - It's still going down?

Still hasn't touched the bottom.

I mean, if you're still going,

that's a straight vertical hole.

Then this is a massive underground structure.

- Right. - This is huge.

The shaft goes down 200 vertical feet.

And I don't know what it is, but that's deep enough to get

us down into the passage and down into

the keyhole chamber.

Let's go get some more rope. See how far it does go down.

All right. Yeah.

- Get back out of here. - OK.

We're gonna have to retrace our steps, go out, regroup

and bring the right materials back

and explore this thing further.

OK, we got one more right to get back out of here.

- OK. - Right here it is.

Oh, good.

All right.

Yeah, we're inclining up. Here we go.

- I don't remember this. - Oh, [bleep].

This is a dead end.

This isn't right.

Did we miss our turn?

We didn't miss it, I don't think.

We came in...

We went left, and then we went left again.

But the first one, there was, like, four options.

So I don't know if we would have got out one.

There's four different ways we could go for-- [bleep].

We went left there.

Then we went further in and made another left.

Right-- another left, right.

There should have been a second right,

and I thought this was that passageway, and it's obviously not.

Hey-- I'm not trying to panic, but are we [bleep] lost?

2 Yeah, we're inclining up. Here we go.

- I don't remember this. - Oh [bleep].

This is a dead end.

This isn't right.

- Did we miss our turn? - We didn't miss it.

I don't think.

There should have been a second right, and I thought

this was that passageway, and it's obviously not.

Hey-- I'm not trying to panic, but are we [bleep] lost?

Well, there's not a mine that I haven't gotten out of yet.

We need to get back to the main trunk, and then we need to

reassess, and let's all get back there.

Let's have a conversation and no panicking.

You panic underground, you're dead.

We just got to figure it out.

Chad, let's head back to the main trunk, man.

OK.

If you get lost underground, you have to stay calm.

It is of the utmost importance to stay calm.

If you don't, you will not make it out, and you will die.

The map I drew is right.

The turns that we took are the turns that we took.

I think we need to go back here

and I'll bet you, I know what happened.

What?

We came in this way, and there was another that went

this way, wide.

So, when we came back out, we were supposed to go to

the right, but the left looked more straight.

So we stayed in the left. Does that make sense?

So we need to go back.

- Yeah. - And everybody just stay calm.

We will get out of here. I promise you.

I've been in a lot of underground caves

and mines, both.

And you do kind of get a little bit of a built-in GPS

in your head of where you're at.

- You guys doing all right? - We're doing all right.

I'm gonna get you to the surface-- let's go.

Get me out of here and I'll be all right.

You've got to really count your steps, your paces,

stop down, take a look at any kind of landmarks that you can

underground, remember it, but also write it down.

- This is the way out of here. - Good.

- You remember this? - Yeah, I do now.

Thank [bleep] God, man. This is the way out.

- I'm ready to get out of here, man. - Me too.

I didn't know how much longer we're going to stay in here.

Is everybody together? Are we all here?

- Yep. - What a perfect place.

Man, we made a big discovery down there.

It is a maze of tunnels with a huge, deep vertical shaft.

For right now, we're done for today.

We're gonna come back tomorrow with all the supplies

that we need and explore this thing all the way to the end.

Whew! Hell yeah.

Copy that.

The next morning, Josh and Chad head back to

the cave system, a mile north of the ranch.

- All right, here I come. - All right.

There you go.

This is the most promising cave we've found in years.

We have to find out what's down here.

All right, Chad. This passage is 60 degrees,

this direction right here.

This tunnel descends deep below the surface.

The shaft goes down 200 vertical feet.

And I don't know what it is, but that's deep enough to get

us down into the passage.

And down into the keyhole chamber.

OK, you got the rope.

All right, let's get the camera attached.

We got a lot of rope, right? Yeah, we should have plenty.

Here's the rope and the camera tied on.

Got it. Ready?

All right, now we're going down.

Yeah, OK. Yeah, I got a good picture.

- You're down like over 100 feet? - Yeah.

Do you still have picture?

Yeah, I still got image.

Just seeing rock right now.

That's 250 foot down, straight down.

The bedrock seems a bit different at this depth.

It's still going, and you can feel the whole weight of

the rope right here.

Yeah, Chad, I'm seeing the floor.

Yep, that's floor.

Holy [bleep], what is that?

Chad, there's something down there.

Well, what do you think it could be?

I think those are teeth.

Chad, that's a skull. That's a human skull.

It's right here. Look at it.

You're hanging right over the top of it right now.

There is somebody buried at the bottom of this shaft.

2 The Aztecs believed that being buried deeper in the earth

brought them closer

to their spiritual plane of the dead.

In 2013, Mexican archaeologists

uncovered a deep man-made vertical tunnel

housing what is believed to be

the cremated remains of Aztec royalty.

Beside the remains was an offering box

that held gifts for the gods, including gold,

the bones of an eagle, two small skulls,

and a stone knife that was used to perform human sacrifices.

2 Yeah, Chad, I'm seeing the floor.

Yep, that's floor.

Holy [bleep], what is that?

Chad, there's something down there.

Well, what do you think it could be?

Chad, that's a skull. That's a human skull.

Why the hell is there a skull down there?

I mean, that's got Aztec written all over it.

And the Aztec we're known to build burial chambers that look

just like this one.

I believe this is a ritual burial.

We need to leave this alone, not mess with it.

But we have all kinds more to explore this way.

Pull that camera up. You lead the way.

Hell yeah.

The burial chamber is a blind shaft

without any other connecting tunnels.

And if these are human remains, they must be left undisturbed.

Let's keep looking, man.

There's no telling what's here.

So Josh and Chad will head back to explore

the other tunnels, searching for the pathway

to the keyhole chamber.

This thing is a giant maze under here.

It is-- it's opening up a little more here.

Yeah, it is.

My God, this thing keeps going.

Look at this.

It looks like a marking.

What kind of symbol is that?

I mean, it looks like it's just charcoal.

Look at that. Holy [bleep].

Yeah, you see there's some more over there, too?

Yeah, Chad, you're right. There is something right here.

It looks like there's a V, and a V, maybe a 6 on its side.

And over here, here's more of it.

This is, like, a half circle with a slash through it.

Chad, I think these are Mormon symbols.

Holy [bleep].

In 1847, under the leadership of Brigham Young,

Mormon pioneers developed their own writing system known

as the Deseret Alphabet.

We've just made a major discovery on the ranch.

If this is Mormon, early Mormon from the 1850s,

we're talking right back to Thomas Rhodes himself.

Thomas Rhodes was a minor and founding member of

the Mormon Church.

According to Utah legend, a descendant of the Aztecs gave

Rhodes access to the location of a hidden gold mine deep in

the Uinta Basin.

Thomas is said to have used the treasure

to finance the establishment of the early Mormon Church.

If the Mormons were in this mine when they first got here,

this was an important place.

And these symbols have been sitting here possibly since

the mid 1800s. This is huge.

Nobody else has been down here.

And if we confirm that this is from the early Mormon era,

this is one of the greatest finds that we've ever found

on the ranch.

If these are Mormon symbols down here, I mean, that's huge.

That's absolutely amazing.

This is a game changer.

We spent 17 years looking for gold on this ranch.

This discovery could be the biggest we've ever had.

Holy [bleep].

This year, we had so many breakthroughs.

That looks exactly like a turtle.

The ranch is kind of like a puzzle with a million pieces.

Is this not a bear guarding the cave?

It's like the clues start lining up.

Look at that. Look at that.

To where eventually you can see this whole picture

of what's going on.

This is another entrance, right here.

This is another entrance, brother.

Every time we got close, something fought against us.

Oh [bleep], that's come up a lot.

What the [bleep]!

Shut it, shut it, shut it!

And when my dad got sick, it was a big blow.

Let's get you out of the machine.

But we persevered and pushed through.

It's an inclined shaft.

This is a door.

And that's all led us to the biggest discovery yet.

We are close to finding that gold.

I mean, this is the closest we've ever been

to Aztec treasure right here.

yeah!
