1
00:00:01,867 --> 00:00:03,367
Check it out.
Oh, she looks good.
2
00:00:03,533 --> 00:00:05,500
[narrator] This time on
"Moonshiners" --
3
00:00:05,667 --> 00:00:07,767
We need to find a good place
to store these.
4
00:00:07,934 --> 00:00:11,367
Henry came up with the idea to
stash our brandy over here on
5
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:13,667
one of these small islands
and then just sell our
6
00:00:13,834 --> 00:00:16,767
apple cider brandy to some
pretty wealthy people that
7
00:00:16,934 --> 00:00:18,467
live here on the lake.
8
00:00:19,367 --> 00:00:20,900
Somebody's coming up to
the island, y'all.
9
00:00:22,767 --> 00:00:24,467
You ever hear of
an old-fashioned cocktail?
10
00:00:24,633 --> 00:00:26,467
I've heard of them.
Tell me this wouldn't be
11
00:00:26,467 --> 00:00:28,700
a good liquor if we can
make it clear.
12
00:00:28,867 --> 00:00:31,567
I've been brainstorming about
how we can switch up this corn
13
00:00:31,734 --> 00:00:34,667
liquor and make it something
a little bit more premium.
14
00:00:34,667 --> 00:00:35,767
[Kelly] Oh, God.
15
00:00:35,934 --> 00:00:38,000
I don't know if I'm gonna
sneeze or puke.
16
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:40,967
Tim, this isn't
a 10-gallon operation here.
17
00:00:41,133 --> 00:00:43,667
This is 1,000 gallons
we got to produce.
18
00:00:43,834 --> 00:00:46,467
All we want to do, get to
Kentucky, make 1,000 gallons of
19
00:00:46,633 --> 00:00:47,700
liquor, and get it to Canada.
20
00:00:47,867 --> 00:00:49,266
I know you guys are
from Virginia.
21
00:00:49,433 --> 00:00:51,600
-Mm-hmm.
-We're in Kentucky now.
22
00:00:51,767 --> 00:00:52,900
It's totally different up here.
23
00:00:55,367 --> 00:00:58,166
-Cut the lights off, guys.
-Uh-oh.
24
00:00:58,333 --> 00:00:59,567
[man] What's going on in here?
25
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,000
[moonshiner] This is how
we make the moonshine.
26
00:01:05,367 --> 00:01:07,800
[twangy music plays]
27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,767
[Tim] Come on, Howard.
We got to get loaded up.
28
00:01:19,934 --> 00:01:21,900
-What, we digging graves?
-No, man.
29
00:01:22,066 --> 00:01:23,600
You know how it is.
When you set up stills,
30
00:01:23,767 --> 00:01:25,767
you got to have tools, man.
31
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:28,567
In Culpeper County,
Virginia...
32
00:01:28,734 --> 00:01:31,000
-[Tim] Oh [bleep].
-[Howard] God dang.
33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,567
...after a group of vigilantes
destroyed their stash house
34
00:01:34,734 --> 00:01:36,000
and still site,
35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,367
Tim and Howard are
moving their operation to
36
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:42,467
the heartland of Bourbon,
where they plan to produce
37
00:01:42,633 --> 00:01:45,867
1,000 gallons of tariff-free
liquor for their customer
38
00:01:46,033 --> 00:01:47,166
in Canada.
39
00:01:47,333 --> 00:01:48,967
[Tim] Yeah, get that
water hose, too.
40
00:01:49,133 --> 00:01:51,800
All right, Howard.
Look, this is all we got, man.
41
00:01:51,967 --> 00:01:53,867
We got to get to Kentucky
and get out of Virginia,
42
00:01:53,867 --> 00:01:55,567
because these people here
is crazy.
43
00:01:55,734 --> 00:01:57,800
You know, every time we turn
around, they're after us
44
00:01:57,967 --> 00:01:59,300
on something.
45
00:01:59,467 --> 00:02:01,467
Kentucky is far enough away
from Virginia where I feel like
46
00:02:01,467 --> 00:02:02,700
it's a safe place to be.
47
00:02:02,867 --> 00:02:04,667
And we all talk
the same language.
48
00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:06,467
[Howard] This is what we're
bringing to Kentucky.
49
00:02:06,467 --> 00:02:09,000
[Tim] Well, I mean, that's
a start, we ain't got no still.
50
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,266
We ain't got nothing else.
51
00:02:10,266 --> 00:02:13,367
[Howard]
So we got a couple shovels,
a hoe, a goddang pickaxe,
52
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:15,166
and a water hose.
-[Tim] Well, I reached out to
53
00:02:15,166 --> 00:02:18,166
my buddy Gary,
which is my dad's old friend.
54
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:20,567
You know, back in the day,
they did some moonshine
55
00:02:20,734 --> 00:02:21,867
business together.
56
00:02:21,867 --> 00:02:23,867
So we get to Kentucky, I'm just
hoping that Gary will
57
00:02:24,033 --> 00:02:25,100
come through for us.
58
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:26,100
He's a good contact.
59
00:02:26,266 --> 00:02:27,700
He's been there
for his whole life.
60
00:02:27,867 --> 00:02:29,800
He knows the outlaw business,
and he's the man
61
00:02:29,967 --> 00:02:31,066
I need to talk to.
62
00:02:31,233 --> 00:02:33,667
And then on top of that,
Kentucky is all about
63
00:02:33,834 --> 00:02:35,467
distilleries anyway
because of
64
00:02:35,633 --> 00:02:38,767
the area, the terrain,
the limestone water.
65
00:02:38,934 --> 00:02:41,166
You know, way back,
all the distilleries, this is
66
00:02:41,333 --> 00:02:44,166
where they started going
from illegal to legal anyway.
67
00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:46,300
So I'm thinking there's a lot
of resources out there.
68
00:02:46,467 --> 00:02:48,000
There's a lot of grain
out there.
69
00:02:48,166 --> 00:02:50,000
You know, there's a lot of
people out there making alcohol.
70
00:02:50,166 --> 00:02:53,667
But now all these tariff taxes,
it's taking some of those guys
71
00:02:53,834 --> 00:02:55,667
down too, right?
-Yeah.
72
00:02:55,667 --> 00:02:57,667
But for us,
that'll be resources.
73
00:02:57,834 --> 00:03:00,767
We're going to swoop up
what they dropping off.
74
00:03:00,767 --> 00:03:03,900
This might be one of
your most genius ideas ever.
75
00:03:04,066 --> 00:03:05,066
[Tim] Think about it.
76
00:03:05,066 --> 00:03:07,567
We'll be closer to where
we need to be anyway.
77
00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:10,767
The Ohio River connects
to the Mississippi.
78
00:03:10,767 --> 00:03:12,867
Guess where
the Mississippi goes?
Canada.
79
00:03:12,867 --> 00:03:14,367
Put the thousand gallons
on a boat,
80
00:03:14,367 --> 00:03:15,667
that'll get to Canada.
81
00:03:15,834 --> 00:03:19,767
So, you know, no guarantee,
but right now we got to go.
82
00:03:19,934 --> 00:03:21,667
You're damn right
we got to go.
83
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:24,000
-We should have been gone.
-Yeah, all right.
84
00:03:24,166 --> 00:03:25,700
Oh, my God.
Kentucky.
85
00:03:26,867 --> 00:03:29,000
[music plays]
86
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,066
[phone ringing]
87
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,467
Gary.
88
00:03:35,467 --> 00:03:37,400
Yeah, man.
I'm glad you called me back.
89
00:03:37,567 --> 00:03:39,166
It's Gary now.
90
00:03:39,333 --> 00:03:40,800
So what's the deal, Gary?
91
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,867
You can't do it?
92
00:03:43,033 --> 00:03:44,266
What do you mean
you can't do it?
93
00:03:45,667 --> 00:03:48,767
Well, I guess you can --
94
00:03:48,934 --> 00:03:50,767
OK, well, that'll work too,
I guess.
95
00:03:50,767 --> 00:03:53,200
I mean, you trust him, right?
OK.
96
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,867
We're loading up.
We're on our way right now.
97
00:03:57,767 --> 00:03:58,867
All right, see you.
98
00:04:00,066 --> 00:04:02,166
Well, now Gary's got
some health problems.
99
00:04:02,333 --> 00:04:04,567
He said he can't really
physically help us,
100
00:04:04,567 --> 00:04:06,467
but he can help us.
101
00:04:06,633 --> 00:04:09,000
But he's got this guy that used
to work with him that he knows
102
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:11,400
the liquor business named DJ.
103
00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:13,467
In the moonshine business
and the outlaw business,
104
00:04:13,467 --> 00:04:17,400
normally we know people
for years, or even generations,
105
00:04:17,567 --> 00:04:18,667
and we know relatives.
106
00:04:18,834 --> 00:04:21,100
When someone just pops up
out of nowhere, it can
107
00:04:21,266 --> 00:04:23,066
give you that
question mark a little bit.
108
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,900
All I know is we need to get
there, and we'll kind of
109
00:04:27,066 --> 00:04:29,967
analyze the situation,
all right, when we get there.
110
00:04:30,133 --> 00:04:31,800
We'll figure this DJ guy out.
111
00:04:31,967 --> 00:04:33,967
-Let's get our
asses to Kentucky.
-And then we'll see where
112
00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:35,800
it goes after that.
113
00:04:35,967 --> 00:04:37,367
We can't back up now, Howard.
114
00:04:42,767 --> 00:04:44,567
[Tickle] I'm gonna back it
back up over there.
115
00:04:44,734 --> 00:04:46,900
-[Henry] Yeah.
-[Tickle] I can't see.
116
00:04:47,066 --> 00:04:50,667
[Henry] Come on back, come on
back, come on, all right.
117
00:04:50,667 --> 00:04:52,000
-[Henry] All right.
-[Tickle] All right.
118
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,033
That worked good, man.
119
00:04:54,033 --> 00:04:57,166
That worked like a dang charm,
didn't it, Henry?
120
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:59,567
In Franklin County,
Virginia...
121
00:04:59,734 --> 00:05:01,500
[Henry] Just turn just a little
back toward me.
122
00:05:01,667 --> 00:05:02,967
There we go.
123
00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:04,300
After losing time
124
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:08,500
to Tim and Howard's doomed
shine operation,
125
00:05:08,667 --> 00:05:12,166
Tickle and Henry turn to apple
brandy to make a quick profit.
126
00:05:14,367 --> 00:05:16,100
Here we go.
We got it.
127
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:18,667
But finding no source of
Winesap apples for
128
00:05:18,834 --> 00:05:22,800
Henry's family recipe, they
rolled the dice on mashing in
129
00:05:22,967 --> 00:05:24,867
fresh apple cider instead.
130
00:05:26,166 --> 00:05:28,567
Hey, Henry, how's that
mash tasting?
131
00:05:28,734 --> 00:05:30,900
Tasting good, man.
Tasting real good.
132
00:05:32,567 --> 00:05:34,500
That's great.
133
00:05:36,967 --> 00:05:40,467
We got this apple cider from
a friend of Henry's that's got
134
00:05:40,633 --> 00:05:42,600
a local orchard here around.
135
00:05:42,767 --> 00:05:45,166
Now, the problem is,
Henry always uses
136
00:05:45,166 --> 00:05:46,867
Winesap apples.
137
00:05:47,033 --> 00:05:50,367
It's a recipe that his dad
passed down to him and his
138
00:05:50,367 --> 00:05:52,266
grandpa passed down to his dad.
139
00:05:53,667 --> 00:05:57,900
Now, while there are Winesap
apples in this cider,
140
00:05:58,066 --> 00:06:00,100
it's a mixture of
five different apples.
141
00:06:00,266 --> 00:06:03,066
So, I'm a little concerned to
see how it's gonna come out.
142
00:06:03,233 --> 00:06:04,700
All right.
That's it right here.
143
00:06:04,867 --> 00:06:07,066
-We good.
-That's it.
144
00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:08,467
[Paige] Yeah, that's it.
145
00:06:08,467 --> 00:06:10,367
[Tickle] All right.
We got all that over in there.
146
00:06:10,367 --> 00:06:12,967
You know, the difference from
this cider to the Winesap
147
00:06:13,133 --> 00:06:16,467
apples could be comparative to
the difference in a single malt
148
00:06:16,467 --> 00:06:17,967
and a blended whiskey.
149
00:06:18,133 --> 00:06:20,100
While both of them are good,
one's always
150
00:06:20,266 --> 00:06:21,166
much more distinct.
151
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:22,266
She's rolling.
152
00:06:22,433 --> 00:06:24,467
Let's go ahead
and get her capped up.
153
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:26,600
We won't make no liquor
till we get the cap on, do we?
154
00:06:26,767 --> 00:06:29,000
There you go.
Now check this cap out.
155
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:30,500
Look at all the axe holes.
156
00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:32,266
This cap has been around
so much.
157
00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:33,667
It's seen many men go to prison.
158
00:06:33,834 --> 00:06:34,967
Well, I bet it has.
159
00:06:34,967 --> 00:06:38,000
Just seen a many men make
a lot of pile of money, too.
160
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,367
[Tickle] There we go.
161
00:06:39,533 --> 00:06:41,467
You pull the other side
across there, Paige.
162
00:06:41,467 --> 00:06:44,467
There you go.
She looks, she looks pretty
doggone good over here.
163
00:06:44,467 --> 00:06:47,000
-Let's pace that baby up.
-[Tickle] Yes, sir.
164
00:06:49,467 --> 00:06:51,900
This run right here could either
make or break our season.
165
00:06:52,066 --> 00:06:53,400
Oh, oh [bleep].
Henry.
166
00:06:53,567 --> 00:06:55,166
-[Henry] All right.
-Check it out.
167
00:06:56,266 --> 00:06:58,767
Look at her yonder.
Lord, she looks good.
168
00:06:58,767 --> 00:07:01,500
I can smell it.
I can smell the apple.
169
00:07:01,667 --> 00:07:03,467
[Tickle] We're already four
weeks behind because we've been
170
00:07:03,467 --> 00:07:06,567
helping Tim, and we're in this
apple cider brandy run
171
00:07:06,567 --> 00:07:09,100
for money and even more time.
172
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,467
If we don't have something good
to start selling our customers
173
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:15,767
soon, we stand to lose
every one of them.
174
00:07:15,934 --> 00:07:18,567
-It's getting close, y'all.
-[Paige] I know it smells good.
175
00:07:18,567 --> 00:07:19,867
It does smell good,
don't it my guy?
176
00:07:20,033 --> 00:07:21,266
You can smell
the whole [indistinct].
177
00:07:21,433 --> 00:07:22,467
It smells good.
178
00:07:22,467 --> 00:07:24,166
I'm just anxious to see
what we get out of this.
179
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:27,266
Oh, that's a good looking
bead on it now, ain't it?
180
00:07:27,433 --> 00:07:28,367
[Paige] It did look good.
181
00:07:28,533 --> 00:07:30,400
[music plays]
182
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,867
-Oh, my God.
-[Paige] We might be
on to something.
183
00:07:39,033 --> 00:07:41,600
-Oh, my God.
-[Henry] We are on to something.
184
00:07:41,767 --> 00:07:45,100
[Tickle] It's actually sweeter
than our old apple brandy.
185
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:47,767
And I swear, I can taste some
notes of honey in there
186
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:49,000
on the back of it.
187
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,767
I think we can get more than
what we're getting for
188
00:07:50,934 --> 00:07:52,900
the brandy made out of
the Winesap apples.
189
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,100
After trying that taste
and smelling it, I think
190
00:07:56,266 --> 00:07:58,000
you may be right.
-If this apple cider brandy
191
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,100
had turned out bad,
we'd have lost
192
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:02,500
a lot more money and time.
193
00:08:02,667 --> 00:08:05,000
But it turns out, we've got
a whole different set of
194
00:08:05,166 --> 00:08:06,200
problems now.
195
00:08:06,367 --> 00:08:07,967
We need to find a good place
to store this.
196
00:08:08,133 --> 00:08:10,500
You know, Tim's stash,
like, it burned up
197
00:08:10,667 --> 00:08:12,266
almost 800 gallons in it.
198
00:08:12,433 --> 00:08:14,266
We can't be having that
happen to us.
199
00:08:14,266 --> 00:08:16,100
We can't have no more setbacks.
200
00:08:31,967 --> 00:08:35,367
This lake, it's public.
There's people all over it.
201
00:08:35,533 --> 00:08:38,300
Can just anybody
roll up on this island?
202
00:08:40,767 --> 00:08:43,367
You know, no one would ever
suspect us being on this island
203
00:08:43,367 --> 00:08:45,266
like this.
It's a perfect cover.
204
00:08:45,266 --> 00:08:48,000
Be close to our customers,
less time transporting it.
205
00:08:48,166 --> 00:08:49,967
We shouldn't have anybody
trying to follow us,
206
00:08:50,133 --> 00:08:51,867
so we should be in good shape.
207
00:08:52,033 --> 00:08:54,266
We shouldn't have to leave it
on the island that long.
208
00:08:54,433 --> 00:08:56,567
Stash it there, pick it up,
we got the boat,
209
00:08:56,567 --> 00:08:58,467
make the delivery,
and get our money.
210
00:08:58,633 --> 00:09:01,567
You know what?
You feeling strongly
about it, Henry?
211
00:09:01,734 --> 00:09:03,000
I say let's go for it.
212
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:05,166
All right.
213
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,867
[music plays]
214
00:09:11,867 --> 00:09:13,767
What took you
so long to get here?
215
00:09:13,934 --> 00:09:15,567
Well, the still site's not
very easy to get to.
216
00:09:15,734 --> 00:09:18,066
Well, I hope that you're not
tired because we've got a lot
217
00:09:18,233 --> 00:09:20,000
of work to do.
This mash is ready to run.
218
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:23,867
In Graham County,
North Carolina,
219
00:09:24,033 --> 00:09:27,667
after an unscrupulous outsider
tanked the regional moonshine
220
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:31,367
market with cheap jars of
industrial grade alcohol...
221
00:09:31,367 --> 00:09:33,300
Our area's flooded with that.
222
00:09:33,467 --> 00:09:35,667
$15 a jar for that liquor
right there.
223
00:09:35,834 --> 00:09:39,066
Amanda and Kelly need to come
up with a strategy to eke out
224
00:09:39,233 --> 00:09:42,100
a profit of their expiring
batch of corn mash.
225
00:09:43,066 --> 00:09:45,400
You know, the mash
is ready to run.
226
00:09:45,567 --> 00:09:47,767
The question is, do we run it
after what Mark and Digger
227
00:09:47,934 --> 00:09:49,967
told us, or do we dump it
in the creek?
228
00:09:50,133 --> 00:09:52,667
[Amanda] Well, I've been putting
some thought to this.
229
00:09:52,834 --> 00:09:56,166
I think we could dress it up,
but we'll run the corn liquor
230
00:09:56,333 --> 00:09:58,800
and we'll make it taste like
something way different.
231
00:09:58,967 --> 00:10:01,767
We would just lose money
selling liquor to customers
232
00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:03,767
who want to buy for $15 a jar.
233
00:10:03,767 --> 00:10:06,667
I mean, it's not worth the time
and the effort even to get out
234
00:10:06,667 --> 00:10:07,667
to our still site.
235
00:10:07,834 --> 00:10:09,467
You ever hear of
an old-fashioned cocktail?
236
00:10:09,467 --> 00:10:12,000
-I've heard of them.
-You ever have one?
237
00:10:12,166 --> 00:10:14,767
-No.
-If we can craft the corn mash
238
00:10:14,934 --> 00:10:16,967
into a more premium spirit,
239
00:10:17,133 --> 00:10:18,333
then we can sell it
for a higher price.
240
00:10:18,333 --> 00:10:20,667
So I brought some ingredients
along to play with it a bit.
241
00:10:20,667 --> 00:10:23,767
So I brought everything to make
you an old-fashioned cocktail.
242
00:10:23,767 --> 00:10:25,867
And you taste it, and you tell
me this wouldn't be
243
00:10:26,033 --> 00:10:28,000
a good liquor if we can
make it clear.
244
00:10:29,066 --> 00:10:31,500
I mean, I'm open for ideas.
245
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,767
This is obviously a big risk,
because we're doubling down.
246
00:10:33,767 --> 00:10:36,300
We're spending twice as much
time and a little bit of extra
247
00:10:36,467 --> 00:10:40,100
money on changing the spirit
around a little bit.
248
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:41,767
So, hopefully it pays off.
249
00:10:41,767 --> 00:10:44,567
I think these changes could be
worth it, but I just gotta
250
00:10:44,734 --> 00:10:46,867
convince Kelly to get
on the same page first.
251
00:10:46,867 --> 00:10:51,166
OK, so old-fashioned is
whiskey, bitters,
252
00:10:51,166 --> 00:10:52,300
sugar, and water.
253
00:10:52,467 --> 00:10:54,266
During prohibition,
they started adding cherries
254
00:10:54,433 --> 00:10:55,767
and oranges in.
255
00:10:55,767 --> 00:10:57,900
So take a cube of
sugar, bitters.
256
00:10:58,066 --> 00:11:01,200
Bitters is a old,
traditional recipe where
257
00:11:01,367 --> 00:11:03,000
they're making an extract
of different
258
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,266
botanicals and spices.
259
00:11:04,266 --> 00:11:06,467
So we're gonna give it
some orange and cherry.
260
00:11:06,467 --> 00:11:09,100
And then you just muddle
a little bit with your muddler
261
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:10,567
and your whiskey.
262
00:11:10,734 --> 00:11:12,867
[Kelly] Here we are in the
woods, Amanda says she's gonna
263
00:11:13,033 --> 00:11:15,100
make me a cocktail.
You know, maybe rather than
264
00:11:15,266 --> 00:11:16,266
running this corn liquor,
265
00:11:16,433 --> 00:11:18,400
Amanda just wants to
drink her sorrows away.
266
00:11:19,767 --> 00:11:20,867
[Amanda] Try that.
267
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:31,800
You know, it's actually
pretty good.
268
00:11:31,967 --> 00:11:36,066
So you're trying to tell me
that we can make a clear liquor
269
00:11:36,233 --> 00:11:37,667
that tastes like that?
270
00:11:37,834 --> 00:11:39,867
[Amanda]
What we're gonna do is we're
gonna make our own bitters.
271
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:41,467
Just a gallon of that is
all I'm gonna need.
272
00:11:41,633 --> 00:11:43,500
And then we're gonna
strip this mash, right?
273
00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:44,867
It'll be really quick
if we just strip it.
274
00:11:45,033 --> 00:11:46,867
-Uh-huh.
-I wanna do a stripping run
275
00:11:47,033 --> 00:11:49,800
because the idea is we're gonna
re-distill this a second time.
276
00:11:49,967 --> 00:11:52,767
So essentially, we're going to
use the stripping run,
277
00:11:52,934 --> 00:11:55,467
flavor it with the ingredients
for the old-fashioned,
278
00:11:55,467 --> 00:11:58,367
and then re-distill it in
a spirit run to fortify it.
279
00:11:58,533 --> 00:12:01,266
I mean, if you think you can
make clear liquor taste like
280
00:12:01,433 --> 00:12:03,667
that, I don't know why
we ain't already been doing it.
281
00:12:03,667 --> 00:12:07,100
I know if we do this and we do
it right, people are gonna
282
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:08,266
go nuts for this.
283
00:12:08,433 --> 00:12:10,567
I never heard of it,
so I'm game.
284
00:12:10,567 --> 00:12:13,100
No risk, Kelly.
No what?
285
00:12:13,266 --> 00:12:14,600
Jail time?
286
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:15,767
-No reward.
-[Kelly] Oh.
287
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:23,667
[Henry]
Hey, well, boys, it's gonna
be a big move today, isn't it?
288
00:12:23,834 --> 00:12:25,166
[Tickle] Uh-huh.
You need me to put a hand
289
00:12:25,166 --> 00:12:26,567
on something, holler.
290
00:12:28,367 --> 00:12:31,700
Henry came up with the idea to
stash our brandy over here on
291
00:12:31,867 --> 00:12:33,567
one of these small islands.
292
00:12:33,567 --> 00:12:34,967
Tickle, can you grab
this one, too?
293
00:12:35,967 --> 00:12:38,600
And then just sell our apple
cider brandy to some
294
00:12:38,767 --> 00:12:41,867
pretty wealthy people that
live here on the lake.
295
00:12:42,033 --> 00:12:43,166
[Henry] Come on, baby.
296
00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:46,266
-[engine revving]
-[Tickle] There she goes.
297
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,100
[Henry] All right, boys,
let's roll.
298
00:12:48,266 --> 00:12:50,400
I'm gonna show y'all an island,
blow your mind, Tickle.
299
00:12:50,567 --> 00:12:52,667
It's a beautiful place
to store this liquor.
300
00:12:52,667 --> 00:12:54,467
Well, y'all just show me
where to go, and we'll get
301
00:12:54,467 --> 00:12:55,800
this stuff hid.
302
00:13:01,367 --> 00:13:02,867
[Henry] Look at all those
houses, man.
303
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:04,600
-[Tickle] Oh, you're right.
-You're talking money.
304
00:13:04,767 --> 00:13:06,567
[Paige] Yeah, it's some
nice houses.
305
00:13:06,734 --> 00:13:08,300
I mean, they should be wanting
some good liquor.
306
00:13:08,467 --> 00:13:10,367
[Tickle] You gotta have money to
have a house on the lake,
307
00:13:10,367 --> 00:13:12,567
especially some of these.
-Big money.
308
00:13:12,734 --> 00:13:14,700
You got money to live on
the lake in a house like that,
309
00:13:14,867 --> 00:13:16,600
Henry, you're right.
310
00:13:16,767 --> 00:13:19,367
Up here's the first island
I was looking at.
311
00:13:19,533 --> 00:13:21,700
Y'all check it out and see
what y'all think.
312
00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:26,166
[Tickle] I'm not totally sold on
storing our shine
313
00:13:26,166 --> 00:13:27,700
on this public island.
314
00:13:27,867 --> 00:13:31,667
Even though Henry's assured me
it's safe, there's always risk
315
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,367
when you're transporting shine.
316
00:13:33,533 --> 00:13:35,200
You want to just put them on
the beach, I'll help you
317
00:13:35,367 --> 00:13:36,467
tow them up in there, Paige.
318
00:13:36,633 --> 00:13:38,767
You've got the boaters
out here, the public.
319
00:13:38,934 --> 00:13:41,467
You've also got lake patrol.
320
00:13:41,633 --> 00:13:42,600
Yeah, right here
would be good.
321
00:13:46,166 --> 00:13:48,266
Yeah, baby.
Hey, put them couple right here.
322
00:13:48,266 --> 00:13:49,567
We'll be good.
323
00:13:49,567 --> 00:13:51,500
[Tickle] Say, we need to make a
few contacts and see if we can't
324
00:13:51,667 --> 00:13:53,367
get some of this stuff sold.
-[Henry] Sounds like a plan.
325
00:13:53,367 --> 00:13:56,667
-Beautiful, let's catch that
boat before it washes away.
-[Tickle] Yeah.
326
00:13:56,834 --> 00:13:59,700
Now that we've got all
our shine hid on this island,
327
00:13:59,867 --> 00:14:01,600
we're gonna come back
tomorrow with some jars.
328
00:14:01,767 --> 00:14:03,467
We're gonna start
jarring this stuff up.
329
00:14:03,467 --> 00:14:04,567
We're gonna start selling.
330
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:06,867
Hey, Henry.
331
00:14:06,867 --> 00:14:08,266
See what this
son of a bitch will do.
332
00:14:09,567 --> 00:14:12,867
Oh, there you go.
Yes, you got some power
333
00:14:12,867 --> 00:14:15,567
-[Henry] Whoo-hoo!
-[Tickle] Yeah!
334
00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:24,300
This is your high-proof bumper
right here.
335
00:14:24,467 --> 00:14:25,800
This thing is
freaking awesome.
336
00:14:25,967 --> 00:14:27,867
[Kelly] Oh, yeah, this is the
trick right here for making
337
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,100
your high-proof stuff.
338
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:30,367
You know, the first thing
we're gonna do here
339
00:14:30,533 --> 00:14:31,800
is a stripping run,
and basically,
340
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,300
a stripping run is just running
to get all the alcohol out of
341
00:14:34,467 --> 00:14:36,100
the mash that we can
so we can use it for
342
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:39,000
a spirit run later.
-[Amanda] Here's what I brought.
343
00:14:39,166 --> 00:14:40,667
-[Amanda] Cherries.
-Sweet.
344
00:14:40,667 --> 00:14:42,000
-[Amanda] And oranges.
-[Kelly] All right.
345
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,467
So, it'll be
a lot of the flavor for
346
00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:44,867
our old-fashioned is right here.
347
00:14:45,033 --> 00:14:47,066
So, the whole process here is
I'm gonna use the alcohol
348
00:14:47,233 --> 00:14:50,867
that we stripped today and make
different flavor extracts.
349
00:14:50,867 --> 00:14:52,300
Each one will be
a flavor component of
350
00:14:52,467 --> 00:14:53,767
the old-fashioned cocktail.
351
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:55,800
So, I'm hoping to
extract the oranges,
352
00:14:55,967 --> 00:14:58,567
the cherries,
and the bitters separately.
353
00:14:58,734 --> 00:15:00,266
And then we re-distill
them together,
354
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:02,166
they should come out balanced
and taste just like
355
00:15:02,333 --> 00:15:04,867
an old-fashioned.
-So, what you got?
356
00:15:05,033 --> 00:15:06,667
These are...
357
00:15:06,667 --> 00:15:08,400
all of our ingredients that
we're gonna use to
358
00:15:08,567 --> 00:15:09,667
make the bitters.
359
00:15:09,667 --> 00:15:11,100
As we get the spirit off
the still, we're just gonna
360
00:15:11,266 --> 00:15:13,767
start adding these ingredients
into the alcohol to actually
361
00:15:13,934 --> 00:15:15,667
extract all these flavors.
362
00:15:15,667 --> 00:15:17,700
Well, you done sold me on it,
so I think we should just
363
00:15:17,867 --> 00:15:19,467
get to it.
-[Amanda] For this recipe,
364
00:15:19,467 --> 00:15:21,567
the bitters are one of the most
important ingredients,
365
00:15:21,567 --> 00:15:23,567
and I need maybe close to
366
00:15:23,734 --> 00:15:25,367
a gallon of bitters
for a run this size.
367
00:15:25,533 --> 00:15:29,367
We have nutmeg, chamomile.
We have allspice.
368
00:15:29,533 --> 00:15:31,967
Commercial bitters right now,
for a small bottle,
369
00:15:32,133 --> 00:15:33,567
a few ounces, is maybe $20,
370
00:15:33,567 --> 00:15:35,867
which is like $500
for a gallon.
371
00:15:35,867 --> 00:15:37,900
And then I have the wormwood.
372
00:15:38,066 --> 00:15:39,600
The plan is to just make
our own bitters
373
00:15:39,767 --> 00:15:40,667
for a fraction of the cost.
374
00:15:40,834 --> 00:15:42,266
This is our bittering agent.
375
00:15:42,266 --> 00:15:44,867
This is what's gonna make
the bitters bitter.
376
00:15:45,033 --> 00:15:47,367
And then all these are gonna
cut it down
377
00:15:47,367 --> 00:15:48,467
and make it taste good.
378
00:15:48,467 --> 00:15:50,567
I've read all different kinds
of recipes on bitters,
379
00:15:50,567 --> 00:15:53,867
and I've seen some of the
old-fashioned recipes have
380
00:15:53,867 --> 00:15:55,767
60 or more ingredients.
381
00:15:55,767 --> 00:15:58,166
So, my idea is to just pick
ingredients that I think taste
382
00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:00,867
good and eliminate the ones
that I really don't care for.
383
00:16:01,967 --> 00:16:03,066
It should be ready.
384
00:16:03,233 --> 00:16:05,667
It should be coming any time,
because it's hot.
385
00:16:05,834 --> 00:16:07,166
-Oh!
-[Kelly].Look at that.
386
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:10,800
[music plays]
387
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:14,767
Oh, it's hot.
388
00:16:14,767 --> 00:16:16,767
Yeah, it dries right up
on your hands.
389
00:16:16,767 --> 00:16:20,266
We can just get the first few
gallons off of here
390
00:16:20,266 --> 00:16:21,567
as a nice high proof.
391
00:16:21,734 --> 00:16:24,567
That'll be perfect to
make the bitters with.
392
00:16:24,734 --> 00:16:27,000
This is gonna be my first
time trying to make bitters,
393
00:16:27,166 --> 00:16:28,667
so I really don't know how
these flavors are gonna
394
00:16:28,667 --> 00:16:31,066
mix together.
Hopefully it turns out well.
395
00:16:31,233 --> 00:16:33,867
If this doesn't all go as
planned, we're out quite a bit.
396
00:16:34,033 --> 00:16:36,467
The time it took us to do these
extra runs, the money we spent
397
00:16:36,467 --> 00:16:39,400
on additional ingredients,
and we've ruined a whole batch
398
00:16:39,567 --> 00:16:40,700
of corn liquor.
399
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:44,467
The higher proof this is,
it's gonna immediately start
400
00:16:44,633 --> 00:16:47,767
extracting all the nice aroma
and flavor
401
00:16:47,767 --> 00:16:48,967
from our ingredients.
402
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:52,166
So this is gonna make
just pure orange extract.
403
00:16:52,333 --> 00:16:55,266
Every old-fashioned needs
cherries, so now we just gotta
404
00:16:55,266 --> 00:16:57,000
put together all the dry
ingredients to make
405
00:16:57,166 --> 00:16:59,266
the bitters, add them together
and see what happens.
406
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,767
And then this high-proof
alcohol should do its job
407
00:17:02,767 --> 00:17:04,700
and start extracting
some bitters for us.
408
00:17:06,467 --> 00:17:07,667
Very strong.
409
00:17:09,166 --> 00:17:10,467
[Kelly] That looks like
a dang snow globe,
410
00:17:10,467 --> 00:17:11,867
they's so much
stuff in it.
411
00:17:11,867 --> 00:17:13,367
[Amanda] I know.
I think this is enough.
412
00:17:13,367 --> 00:17:15,266
We can pretty much strip
the rest of the alcohol out
413
00:17:15,433 --> 00:17:18,266
quick, get all the way down
to the low tails and put it
414
00:17:18,266 --> 00:17:19,433
in our barrels.
415
00:17:20,367 --> 00:17:23,567
We want to bring over a lot
of cherry, a lot of orange,
416
00:17:23,567 --> 00:17:26,800
and then that bitters is just
there to give it that
417
00:17:27,767 --> 00:17:29,166
old-fashioned flavor, you know?
418
00:17:29,166 --> 00:17:31,066
You know, here we stand with
what should have been
419
00:17:31,233 --> 00:17:34,166
a good run of corn liquor,
and we've got two barrels of
420
00:17:34,166 --> 00:17:37,166
fruity-looking stuff
and a couple of jars
421
00:17:37,333 --> 00:17:38,367
of funky-looking stuff,
422
00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:40,567
and we're gonna mix
all this stuff together,
423
00:17:40,567 --> 00:17:42,767
put it back in the pot,
and we're gonna hope that this
424
00:17:42,767 --> 00:17:46,367
spirit run is
the most enticing,
425
00:17:46,533 --> 00:17:49,700
old-fashioned cocktail that
you've ever put in your mouth.
426
00:17:49,867 --> 00:17:51,400
Hey, look at this go.
427
00:17:52,467 --> 00:17:53,767
-We're doing it.
-Ha!
428
00:17:58,467 --> 00:18:01,200
[Tim] You know, Howard,
I don't love this whole idea.
429
00:18:01,367 --> 00:18:03,000
Tim, this isn't a 10-gallon
operation here.
430
00:18:03,166 --> 00:18:05,400
This is 1,000 gallons
we got to produce.
431
00:18:05,567 --> 00:18:07,467
-Uh-huh.
-And one of your friends,
that you trust...
432
00:18:07,633 --> 00:18:10,066
-Yeah.
-...he's put us in the trust of
some guy we've never met
433
00:18:10,233 --> 00:18:11,333
in our lives.
-You know, right now,
434
00:18:11,333 --> 00:18:13,600
things are a little bit too hot
for us in Virginia.
435
00:18:13,767 --> 00:18:15,800
I got an old friend
named Gary in Kentucky.
436
00:18:15,967 --> 00:18:19,300
You know, Gary goes way back
in the moonshine business.
437
00:18:19,467 --> 00:18:22,100
He's open to help,
but he can't physically help.
438
00:18:22,266 --> 00:18:24,600
He says that he's got another
guy that used to work for him,
439
00:18:24,767 --> 00:18:28,467
and he would like to connect me
to this guy, DJ.
440
00:18:28,633 --> 00:18:31,567
I just hope this guy knows
something about moonshine.
441
00:18:31,567 --> 00:18:33,567
You know, know what we need.
You know what I'm saying?
442
00:18:33,567 --> 00:18:36,367
We got to have grain, right?
We got to have corn.
443
00:18:36,367 --> 00:18:38,300
We got to have sugar.
We got to have stills.
444
00:18:38,467 --> 00:18:40,667
We got to have a location.
We got to have good water.
445
00:18:40,834 --> 00:18:42,700
And hopefully this guy can
keep his mouth shut about
446
00:18:42,867 --> 00:18:44,100
the whole operation.
447
00:18:44,266 --> 00:18:46,800
We need someone who can
keep all this quiet.
448
00:18:46,967 --> 00:18:49,166
We don't want no one
to know that we are here.
449
00:18:49,333 --> 00:18:50,867
All we want to do,
get to Kentucky,
450
00:18:50,867 --> 00:18:52,200
make 1,000 gallons of liquor,
451
00:18:52,367 --> 00:18:53,467
and get it to Canada.
452
00:18:56,467 --> 00:18:58,333
Let's do it now.
453
00:19:00,867 --> 00:19:03,667
You know, this guy, DJ,
I know nothing about him,
454
00:19:03,834 --> 00:19:06,467
but I'm gonna have to go on
my gut feeling when I meet him.
455
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:10,367
If it feels good,
then we're good.
456
00:19:10,533 --> 00:19:13,000
If it doesn't feel good,
then it's gonna be no deal.
457
00:19:15,367 --> 00:19:16,467
DJ?
458
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,967
-[DJ] Yes, sir.
-All right.
459
00:19:20,133 --> 00:19:21,500
Seems like we've got
a mutual friend here.
460
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,166
-Yes, sir.
-[Tim] Mm-hmm.
461
00:19:24,333 --> 00:19:26,500
-Who's this guy?
-[Tim] That's Howard.
462
00:19:26,667 --> 00:19:27,867
[Tim] Howard's been
with me a long time.
463
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,700
Well, how do
you know our friend?
464
00:19:30,867 --> 00:19:33,567
-Hey, I've worked for him.
-[Tim] Then what kind of work?
465
00:19:33,734 --> 00:19:35,967
-Concrete.
-[Tim] OK.
466
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:37,567
Well, he recommended you.
467
00:19:38,467 --> 00:19:40,667
He told me somebody was
coming, but I didn't quite know
468
00:19:40,834 --> 00:19:42,100
who it was.
469
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:43,767
Well, we're in a different
kind of business,
470
00:19:43,934 --> 00:19:48,367
so we probably don't say that
too openly, you know?
471
00:19:48,533 --> 00:19:50,166
What kind of business
you thinking, sir?
472
00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:51,400
Well, we in
the liquor business.
473
00:19:52,467 --> 00:19:54,767
-I understand that.
-[Tim] OK.
474
00:19:54,934 --> 00:19:57,200
We need a location,
and we need some equipment.
475
00:19:59,166 --> 00:20:00,300
Probably got one of those.
476
00:20:00,467 --> 00:20:02,567
We got a location nobody else
knows about.
477
00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:04,467
We're gonna go far enough
in the woods, that's all
478
00:20:04,633 --> 00:20:06,300
I can say.
-OK.
479
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:09,900
-I know you guys from Virginia.
-Mm-hmm.
480
00:20:10,066 --> 00:20:11,800
We in Kentucky now.
481
00:20:11,967 --> 00:20:14,166
I don't know how you run things
down there.
482
00:20:14,333 --> 00:20:16,900
-It's totally different up here.
-Yeah.
483
00:20:17,066 --> 00:20:18,867
We up here in the heart
of Bourbon country.
484
00:20:19,033 --> 00:20:20,600
There's a whole lot of
outlaws up here.
485
00:20:20,767 --> 00:20:21,633
[Tim] Yeah.
486
00:20:21,633 --> 00:20:22,867
I've been in the business
a long time.
487
00:20:23,033 --> 00:20:24,900
Not my first day.
Yeah.
488
00:20:25,066 --> 00:20:26,166
So we're gonna make
this work...
489
00:20:27,567 --> 00:20:29,433
or not.
-[Tim] I'm in business.
490
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:33,000
I'm with you.
491
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:36,066
I can give you a location
tonight if you want it.
492
00:20:36,233 --> 00:20:38,867
[Tim] Yeah, I want to see it.
We need it as soon as possible.
493
00:20:39,033 --> 00:20:40,000
-All right.
-[Tim] All right.
494
00:20:40,166 --> 00:20:41,166
-Are you ready?
-Let's roll.
495
00:20:47,667 --> 00:20:48,867
I'm gonna tell
you what, son.
496
00:20:49,033 --> 00:20:52,100
You got us in the by-God
backwoods of Kentucky mountains
497
00:20:52,266 --> 00:20:53,233
right here.
498
00:20:53,233 --> 00:20:54,367
[Tim] Well, I mean,
I'm just following him.
499
00:20:54,367 --> 00:20:57,100
So wherever he's going,
I guess we can go.
500
00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:59,467
Because of all the problems
we've had, Howard and I,
501
00:20:59,633 --> 00:21:01,800
we kind of made a decision
to go to Kentucky.
502
00:21:01,967 --> 00:21:03,467
I never made moonshine
out here.
503
00:21:03,633 --> 00:21:05,066
I don't know
the lay of the land,
504
00:21:05,233 --> 00:21:06,300
and I don't know the place.
505
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:08,367
But right now, I only got
a few weeks to get this
506
00:21:08,533 --> 00:21:11,166
tariff-free 1,000 gallons
of moonshine to Canada.
507
00:21:11,333 --> 00:21:13,166
You put us in charge of
dealing with Gary,
508
00:21:13,166 --> 00:21:15,066
and he's your connect here,
and now we're with this
509
00:21:15,233 --> 00:21:17,767
gentleman, and he's bringing us
out to God knows where.
510
00:21:17,767 --> 00:21:20,300
[Tim] My buddy Gary,
he set us up with DJ.
511
00:21:20,467 --> 00:21:23,266
Hopefully, he's got everything
we need, a location and a still
512
00:21:23,433 --> 00:21:25,066
and whatever we need
to make it happen.
513
00:21:29,066 --> 00:21:30,900
-This is the place?
-Yes, sir.
514
00:21:31,066 --> 00:21:32,467
Let's see what
you're working with here.
515
00:21:32,633 --> 00:21:35,000
-Looks good.
-[DJ] It's all I can offer
right here, right now.
516
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,567
Man, that's
a big, old building,
517
00:21:36,567 --> 00:21:38,767
like a warehouse, man.
-[DJ] Yes, sir.
518
00:21:38,934 --> 00:21:42,400
It's a huge, old barn, way back
in the woods, sitting right on
519
00:21:42,567 --> 00:21:43,633
a creek bank.
520
00:21:43,633 --> 00:21:46,500
I mean, it's almost, like,
too perfect to believe.
521
00:21:46,667 --> 00:21:48,900
[Howard] Damn.
What we got here?
522
00:21:49,066 --> 00:21:51,266
[Tim] You got some
submarine still.
523
00:21:51,433 --> 00:21:53,200
[Howard] Holy smokes.
524
00:21:53,367 --> 00:21:55,266
-These are your rigs?
-Yes, sir.
525
00:21:55,266 --> 00:21:56,667
[Howard] The barn is magical.
526
00:21:56,667 --> 00:21:58,500
I mean, everything
we need covered,
527
00:21:58,667 --> 00:22:02,066
sheltered, off-the-beaten path.
Hidden, gates locked.
528
00:22:02,233 --> 00:22:03,300
Look at yonder.
529
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:04,600
-[Tim] Oh, that's the caps.
-There's the caps on.
530
00:22:04,767 --> 00:22:05,834
Stills.
531
00:22:05,834 --> 00:22:08,200
We mash in right here.
We got our worm right here.
532
00:22:08,367 --> 00:22:09,867
Truck there.
We're out the door.
533
00:22:10,033 --> 00:22:11,867
-Yeah, can I drive in?
-Yes, sir.
534
00:22:11,867 --> 00:22:13,166
This is a miracle.
535
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:15,600
I feel like this man has
everything we need
but the mash.
536
00:22:15,767 --> 00:22:17,467
Yeah, what about cornmeal,
sugar, and all that
537
00:22:17,467 --> 00:22:19,667
kind of stuff?
-Yeah, I set that up.
538
00:22:19,667 --> 00:22:21,300
We can get it, too.
I'll figure out and talk to
539
00:22:21,467 --> 00:22:22,667
one of the farmers
around here.
540
00:22:22,834 --> 00:22:24,467
This whole plan is
coming together.
541
00:22:24,467 --> 00:22:27,000
Great location.
Good-looking stills.
542
00:22:27,166 --> 00:22:28,600
DJ's like, "I got you."
543
00:22:28,767 --> 00:22:30,567
Let's see what's going on
in this creek.
544
00:22:30,734 --> 00:22:31,767
Like I said,
the spring's about
545
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:33,266
three-quarters of a mile up.
546
00:22:33,266 --> 00:22:35,166
Oh, yeah, that's good water
right there.
547
00:22:35,166 --> 00:22:38,266
The water is a little bit low,
but then again, it's running.
548
00:22:38,266 --> 00:22:41,066
All you got to do is dam it up,
and you'll have plenty of water
549
00:22:41,233 --> 00:22:42,767
in no time.
550
00:22:42,934 --> 00:22:45,500
-[Tim] Oh, yeah, that's clear.
-Yeah, that's good.
551
00:22:45,667 --> 00:22:47,400
[Howard] We're running
through limestone.
552
00:22:47,567 --> 00:22:48,600
That's cold, too.
That's good.
553
00:22:48,767 --> 00:22:49,800
That's filtered.
That's good.
554
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,667
Kentucky limestone water,
I mean, world famous.
555
00:22:52,834 --> 00:22:54,467
It's just perfect
for making alcohol.
556
00:22:54,633 --> 00:22:57,800
The minerals and the pH level,
it helps with fermentation.
557
00:22:57,967 --> 00:22:59,867
It's gonna allow us
to make a better product
558
00:22:59,867 --> 00:23:01,100
and more of it.
559
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:03,500
I mean, we can work with that,
but we got one other thing
560
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:04,567
we got to do.
561
00:23:04,734 --> 00:23:06,467
We got to put some
cameras up here.
562
00:23:06,633 --> 00:23:08,767
Looking at the barn,
looking at the stills,
563
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:11,000
you know, everything's great,
but then again, I'm thinking
564
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,200
about what has happened back
in the past, back in Virginia.
565
00:23:14,367 --> 00:23:16,767
We had some problems
with other still sites.
566
00:23:16,934 --> 00:23:18,100
Yes.
What you got in mind?
567
00:23:18,266 --> 00:23:19,967
So I'm thinking here,
we need to set some
568
00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:22,266
game cameras up here, too,
because, you know,
569
00:23:22,266 --> 00:23:23,567
you just never know.
570
00:23:23,567 --> 00:23:25,166
[metallic tapping]
571
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:26,400
All right.
572
00:23:26,567 --> 00:23:28,667
See, I got it tilted down
a little bit.
573
00:23:28,834 --> 00:23:30,667
It's gonna cover
a whole lot right here.
574
00:23:30,834 --> 00:23:32,200
It's like we just
won the lottery.
575
00:23:32,367 --> 00:23:34,700
All I need is some ingredients,
mash in.
576
00:23:34,867 --> 00:23:35,967
Hey, we got it made.
577
00:23:36,133 --> 00:23:38,000
First thing, we need some
sugar and cornmeal.
578
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,500
-I have a drop spot tomorrow.
-All right, let's do that then.
579
00:23:40,667 --> 00:23:41,700
Love it.
How about that?
580
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:43,166
-Let's get out of here.
-Oh, thank you so much.
581
00:23:43,333 --> 00:23:44,266
-Good deal.
-Thank you.
582
00:23:44,433 --> 00:23:45,400
Thank you, sir.
583
00:23:48,667 --> 00:23:50,867
[music plays]
584
00:23:53,166 --> 00:23:54,567
What do you think, Paige?
Where we at?
585
00:23:55,467 --> 00:23:57,166
Looks like we keep
going straight,
586
00:23:57,333 --> 00:23:58,667
we should be all right.
-[Henry] Cool.
587
00:23:58,667 --> 00:24:01,500
[Tickle] Now that we've got our
brandy hidden on this island,
588
00:24:01,667 --> 00:24:04,667
Henry's arranged a potential
sale with a wealthy customer
589
00:24:04,834 --> 00:24:08,467
who is really interested in
our good apple cider brandy.
590
00:24:08,633 --> 00:24:10,166
[Henry] We make this sale today,
boys, we're gonna make some
591
00:24:10,166 --> 00:24:11,467
big money.
-[Tickle] Big money.
592
00:24:11,633 --> 00:24:13,700
-[Tickle] That's what I'm about.
-We're gonna rock and roll.
593
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:19,166
I'm not totally sold on
storing our brandy over here on
594
00:24:19,166 --> 00:24:20,400
this public island.
595
00:24:20,567 --> 00:24:21,967
There's a lot of dangers
out here.
596
00:24:24,266 --> 00:24:25,433
[Henry] Got us, Paige?
597
00:24:25,433 --> 00:24:27,867
I mean, are the risks really
gonna be worth the rewards?
598
00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:29,200
Now we're getting somewhere.
I just hope nobody stole
599
00:24:29,367 --> 00:24:31,166
that liquor while we were gone.
-Yeah, for real.
600
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:34,000
[Tickle] I feel like a pirate,
Henry, you know that?
601
00:24:34,166 --> 00:24:35,867
I feel like,
"Aye aye, Captain."
602
00:24:36,033 --> 00:24:37,266
-[laughing]
-Aye, matey.
603
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:40,100
[Tickle] What do
you think, Henry?
604
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:41,367
[Henry] I hope
the liquor's still here.
605
00:24:41,367 --> 00:24:43,467
I think that's it
over there, ain't it?
606
00:24:43,467 --> 00:24:45,667
-[Henry] Oh, yeah.
-[Tickle] So far, so good.
607
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:49,166
Now, we're not just gonna
sell this stuff by
608
00:24:49,166 --> 00:24:50,567
the five-gallon bucket.
609
00:24:50,567 --> 00:24:52,600
What we're gonna do is
we're gonna break this down
610
00:24:52,767 --> 00:24:54,100
into quart jars.
611
00:24:55,567 --> 00:24:57,700
Oh, ain't that pretty?
There it is.
612
00:24:57,867 --> 00:24:59,900
-Liquid gold, boys.
-[Tickle] Good and clear,
too, ain't it?
613
00:25:00,133 --> 00:25:03,767
Because we can get a higher
price selling it like that than
614
00:25:03,934 --> 00:25:06,867
I can by the gallon jug
or by the bucket.
615
00:25:06,867 --> 00:25:09,867
[Henry] All right, boys.
Let's make some money.
616
00:25:09,867 --> 00:25:12,467
While this lake
is a public lake,
617
00:25:12,633 --> 00:25:15,100
these personal docks
are not.
618
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:17,667
And we're gonna go meet
Henry's friend Tony right here
619
00:25:17,667 --> 00:25:18,767
on his dock.
620
00:25:19,667 --> 00:25:21,600
Henry, how do you know
this guy, Tony?
621
00:25:21,767 --> 00:25:24,567
We met a long, long time ago,
and he just got beaucoup money.
622
00:25:24,567 --> 00:25:27,867
He got a huge-ass house down
here, keeps his mouth shut,
623
00:25:28,033 --> 00:25:30,867
and he don't buy nothing
except the primo stuff.
624
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:33,700
If it's not the primo primo,
don't even pull up to his dock.
625
00:25:36,867 --> 00:25:39,467
Tony's house is up
in a small cove.
626
00:25:39,633 --> 00:25:41,066
Makes it much more private.
627
00:25:42,266 --> 00:25:43,667
Tony, what's up, buddy?
628
00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:44,767
[Tony speaking]
629
00:25:44,934 --> 00:25:45,800
[Henry] So how
you doing, buddy?
630
00:25:45,967 --> 00:25:46,867
[Tony speaking]
631
00:25:47,033 --> 00:25:48,066
[Henry] Been a while.
632
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,967
Man, we got some stuff
for you today, Hoss.
633
00:25:52,133 --> 00:25:54,500
-[Henry] Hand me
one of those jars.
-Yeah, sir.
634
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:56,600
The costs are really
adding up on this.
635
00:25:56,767 --> 00:25:58,967
This wasn't a cheap shine
to make.
636
00:25:59,133 --> 00:26:02,467
We're gonna have to get $150
a gallon on this brandy,
637
00:26:02,633 --> 00:26:04,767
or we're gonna find ourselves
underwater on this.
638
00:26:04,767 --> 00:26:07,000
[Henry] You know, I don't come
with anything but the best.
639
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,166
-[Paige] Coming in.
-[Henry] Why don't
you try that out?
640
00:26:09,333 --> 00:26:10,867
Henry said you only
drink your best.
641
00:26:11,033 --> 00:26:13,300
[Tony speaking]
642
00:26:13,467 --> 00:26:15,867
[Tickle]
Now, these wealthy customers,
they have a pretty refined
643
00:26:15,867 --> 00:26:17,500
taste when it comes to alcohol.
644
00:26:17,667 --> 00:26:20,266
I really hope this customer
likes this, or it's gonna be
645
00:26:20,433 --> 00:26:22,867
a long time before we turn
a profit on this brandy.
646
00:26:24,567 --> 00:26:25,667
What do you think, buddy?
647
00:26:28,066 --> 00:26:30,400
[Tony speaking]
648
00:26:30,567 --> 00:26:32,667
[Henry] Thank you, big guy.
Two boxes, right?
649
00:26:32,834 --> 00:26:34,033
[Tony speaking]
650
00:26:34,033 --> 00:26:37,500
Getting our first sale of this
season done, it feels great.
651
00:26:37,667 --> 00:26:39,066
-Good to see you again, buddy.
-[Tony] Yeah, yeah.
652
00:26:39,233 --> 00:26:40,467
If you need any more,
just holler at us.
653
00:26:40,633 --> 00:26:42,166
-[Tony] OK.
-And we'll fix you right up.
654
00:26:42,166 --> 00:26:46,000
We charge this guy $150
a gallon at six gallons now.
655
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,367
Now, that's a pretty doggone
good $900 tax-free payday.
656
00:26:49,533 --> 00:26:50,467
See you, buddy.
657
00:26:50,633 --> 00:26:52,367
[Tony speaking]
658
00:26:52,367 --> 00:26:53,400
[Tickle] First sale down.
659
00:26:53,567 --> 00:26:55,867
[Henry] Whoo-wee, what do
you think, Tickle?
660
00:26:55,867 --> 00:26:57,667
-Tell you what --
-That was a good sale,
wasn't it?
661
00:26:57,667 --> 00:26:58,800
Yes, it was.
662
00:26:58,967 --> 00:27:00,967
Henry might be on to
something here.
663
00:27:01,133 --> 00:27:04,100
If we can keep making sales
and stay out of trouble,
664
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:06,600
the potential for earning
on this lake is limitless.
665
00:27:06,767 --> 00:27:09,767
If we keep going like this,
we'll be sold out in no time.
666
00:27:09,767 --> 00:27:10,867
[Tickle] You got
that right, man.
667
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,667
[Henry]
Now let's get these few jars
off here, get them filled up,
668
00:27:17,834 --> 00:27:19,266
make us another sale.
669
00:27:19,266 --> 00:27:22,867
Sales are going great here on
this lake, and Henry, he's got
670
00:27:22,867 --> 00:27:24,300
another potential buyer for us.
671
00:27:24,467 --> 00:27:25,767
It won't be too much longer.
We're gonna have to
672
00:27:25,934 --> 00:27:27,266
make another run, ain't it?
673
00:27:27,266 --> 00:27:29,800
All we gotta do is fill up
a few more jars and be
674
00:27:29,967 --> 00:27:31,800
right on our way.
-All right, guys.
675
00:27:31,967 --> 00:27:33,867
We got two more of these
bad boys left.
676
00:27:33,867 --> 00:27:35,467
All right, let's roll.
677
00:27:35,467 --> 00:27:37,367
Sale here.
That's gonna be it.
678
00:27:44,266 --> 00:27:46,166
Damn, somebody's coming
up to the island, y'all.
679
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:49,166
[Tickle] Get this stuff
on the boat.
680
00:27:49,166 --> 00:27:50,266
[Henry] Get it on
the boat, Paige.
681
00:27:50,266 --> 00:27:52,300
[Tickle] Get it on the boat.
Quick as we can.
682
00:27:53,266 --> 00:27:55,367
[tense music plays]
683
00:28:02,667 --> 00:28:04,233
[Tickle] Throw it to her, Henry.
684
00:28:06,700 --> 00:28:09,367
We have no idea what these
guys saw or why they got
685
00:28:09,533 --> 00:28:13,066
so close to this island and then
turned around and really sped
686
00:28:13,233 --> 00:28:14,367
off the other direction.
687
00:28:14,367 --> 00:28:16,100
That was just a bad luck
right there.
688
00:28:17,367 --> 00:28:21,066
One thing's for sure,
this island here is burned.
689
00:28:21,233 --> 00:28:24,266
Only thing we can do now,
make our final sale for the day
690
00:28:24,266 --> 00:28:25,367
and get out of here.
691
00:28:30,567 --> 00:28:32,200
[Kelly] Everything looks
intact, Amanda.
692
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:36,667
[Amanda] Well, that's good.
I was worried about that.
693
00:28:36,667 --> 00:28:39,000
Today, we're going to try to
take typical, Appalachian,
694
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:42,367
corn liquor, and we're gonna
try to turn it into a premium,
695
00:28:42,533 --> 00:28:45,367
clear, old-fashioned
cocktail in a jar.
696
00:28:45,533 --> 00:28:47,667
If this works, we can market
this to high-end premium
697
00:28:47,834 --> 00:28:50,767
customers, people who aren't
in the market to buy $15 a jar
698
00:28:50,934 --> 00:28:52,133
of crap liquor.
699
00:28:52,133 --> 00:28:55,667
On the other hand, if this
fails, we're out twice the time
700
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:57,767
and money we could have spent
doing something else.
701
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:00,867
This is our bitters.
702
00:29:07,367 --> 00:29:09,934
-Oh, God.
-Oh, that burns.
703
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,200
I don't know if I'm gonna
sneeze or puke.
704
00:29:15,367 --> 00:29:17,300
[Amanda] I feel like it's
way too bitter.
705
00:29:17,467 --> 00:29:19,767
It's not very balanced, and
the flavor is just really off.
706
00:29:19,934 --> 00:29:21,166
I was kind of winging it.
707
00:29:21,166 --> 00:29:22,767
I've never done this before.
I don't know
708
00:29:22,767 --> 00:29:25,467
what a good ratio is
of some of these ingredients
709
00:29:25,467 --> 00:29:27,700
are very intense, like
wormwood and nutmeg.
710
00:29:29,266 --> 00:29:30,867
And the whole idea with
wormwood is it tastes
711
00:29:31,033 --> 00:29:32,467
bitter, right?
So everything else is there
712
00:29:32,467 --> 00:29:35,100
to improve the flavor of it,
but I just don't think we have
713
00:29:35,266 --> 00:29:38,000
enough of the positive
flavor ingredients.
714
00:29:38,166 --> 00:29:40,667
So maybe we make another
tincture of more of
715
00:29:40,834 --> 00:29:44,166
the good flavors and mix it
to cut back the really
716
00:29:44,333 --> 00:29:45,433
overpowering flavors.
717
00:29:45,433 --> 00:29:48,500
So we're gonna use a cooking
technique to essentially
718
00:29:48,667 --> 00:29:52,066
rapidly extract these better
tasting ingredients
719
00:29:52,233 --> 00:29:54,066
and balance out the bitters.
720
00:29:54,233 --> 00:29:55,800
I'm glad we didn't use
all of this.
721
00:29:55,967 --> 00:29:57,967
We're gonna put these
ingredients and the alcohol in
722
00:29:58,133 --> 00:30:01,567
the jar in a pot of boiling
water and basically cook it
723
00:30:01,567 --> 00:30:04,166
like a tea to rapidly extract
this flavor.
724
00:30:04,333 --> 00:30:08,467
Hopefully by making individual
extracts of all these flavors,
725
00:30:08,467 --> 00:30:09,767
we can kind of isolate.
726
00:30:09,767 --> 00:30:11,700
If any of these are giving
an off flavor, we're gonna
727
00:30:11,867 --> 00:30:14,066
know when we're done,
and we can blend something back
728
00:30:14,233 --> 00:30:16,667
that tastes the way
we want it to taste.
729
00:30:16,667 --> 00:30:18,767
[Kelly] Whoo!
That's hot already.
730
00:30:18,934 --> 00:30:20,033
This is our last hope.
731
00:30:20,033 --> 00:30:22,066
If this doesn't work,
then we've ruined our chances
732
00:30:22,233 --> 00:30:24,200
of creating a clear,
old-fashioned moonshine.
733
00:30:24,367 --> 00:30:26,467
The alcohol actually has
a lower boiling point than
734
00:30:26,633 --> 00:30:28,567
water does.
This is still boiling,
735
00:30:28,567 --> 00:30:30,100
and you can actually see it
736
00:30:30,266 --> 00:30:32,066
extracting, even though
it's not even in
737
00:30:32,233 --> 00:30:34,600
the water anymore.
Pretty cool.
738
00:30:34,767 --> 00:30:36,367
Science.
739
00:30:36,367 --> 00:30:39,066
So we're gonna add
a little bit of chamomile.
740
00:30:39,233 --> 00:30:40,867
I know I want to taste
more ginger in there.
741
00:30:41,033 --> 00:30:43,266
I think the vanilla is gonna
help sweeten it up a little bit
742
00:30:43,433 --> 00:30:45,867
and hopefully cut back
some of that bitterness.
743
00:30:46,033 --> 00:30:48,800
Hopefully, if we just increase
the good flavors, we'll be able
744
00:30:48,967 --> 00:30:50,266
to counteract the bad flavor.
745
00:30:50,433 --> 00:30:51,567
It's like three parts of
the new one
746
00:30:51,734 --> 00:30:53,367
and one part of
the old one.
747
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,700
That smells a lot better.
748
00:31:00,867 --> 00:31:02,667
I'm getting to smell all
the other things now, right?
749
00:31:02,834 --> 00:31:05,300
Like I can smell that orange,
I can smell the ginger, I can
750
00:31:05,467 --> 00:31:07,266
get that chamomile
and some vanilla bean in there.
751
00:31:07,266 --> 00:31:10,667
[Kelly] I mean, that's bitter
without being offensive.
752
00:31:10,667 --> 00:31:12,166
Right, well, that's what
we're going for.
753
00:31:12,333 --> 00:31:14,767
So then let's uncover this,
get all this going,
754
00:31:14,934 --> 00:31:16,567
and get this run going then.
-[Amanda] OK.
755
00:31:16,567 --> 00:31:18,767
So, I think we got
the bitters balanced back out,
756
00:31:18,934 --> 00:31:20,367
and it's actually tasting
pretty good.
757
00:31:20,533 --> 00:31:23,700
The only tricky part now is
to see if all these flavors,
758
00:31:23,867 --> 00:31:26,700
the orange and the cherry
and the bitters, are going to
759
00:31:26,867 --> 00:31:29,367
marry together and actually
taste like an old-fashioned
760
00:31:29,367 --> 00:31:31,500
when it comes out
the other end of that still.
761
00:31:33,967 --> 00:31:36,266
-[Kelly] Oh, there it goes.
-[Amanda] All right.
762
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,100
-[Kelly] Man, that
smells so citrusy.
-It does.
763
00:31:44,367 --> 00:31:46,266
I definitely got that orange
right up front.
764
00:31:46,433 --> 00:31:47,633
That's strong on there.
765
00:31:47,633 --> 00:31:49,667
I mean, there are some flavors
that's coming through there,
766
00:31:49,834 --> 00:31:52,166
and it's reasonably aromatic.
767
00:31:52,333 --> 00:31:53,767
I'm dying of suspense.
768
00:31:55,166 --> 00:31:57,200
[music plays]
769
00:31:58,367 --> 00:31:59,467
Ooh.
770
00:32:05,166 --> 00:32:07,567
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
771
00:32:07,734 --> 00:32:12,467
-I think it's a home run.
-Wow.
772
00:32:12,467 --> 00:32:14,000
This is blowing my mind.
773
00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:15,967
We're tasting this,
and it's just like
774
00:32:16,133 --> 00:32:17,767
the old-fashioned
that she made for us.
775
00:32:17,767 --> 00:32:20,767
It's just like a bartender
mixed this, and it's clear.
776
00:32:20,934 --> 00:32:22,667
There's no reason
this won't sell good.
777
00:32:22,667 --> 00:32:24,967
-No [bleep].
-Good job.
778
00:32:25,133 --> 00:32:26,934
[Amanda] That's old-fashioned,
I'll tell you what.
779
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,667
So what all do you know about
this guy we're making this sale
780
00:32:31,834 --> 00:32:34,467
to today?
-We dealt with him years ago.
781
00:32:34,467 --> 00:32:37,266
Haven't saw him in a long time,
but when we made this top-notch
782
00:32:37,433 --> 00:32:39,300
brandy, I figured
I'd reach out to him.
783
00:32:39,467 --> 00:32:41,066
Name is John.
But he's gonna meet us
784
00:32:41,233 --> 00:32:43,967
out here, up here
around the s-curves.
785
00:32:44,133 --> 00:32:46,200
He's got the money,
and I know he's straight-up.
786
00:32:46,367 --> 00:32:47,400
I know he's a cool dude.
787
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,000
I really hope John buys
the rest of this brandy.
788
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,900
After that surprise visit from
the boat and these guys that
789
00:32:53,066 --> 00:32:56,400
saw our moonshine, I really
don't feel like having anything
790
00:32:56,567 --> 00:32:57,667
illegal out here on me.
791
00:32:57,667 --> 00:33:00,800
Supposed to be waiting for us
off this main channel.
792
00:33:00,967 --> 00:33:02,166
Should be on a pontoon boat.
793
00:33:06,667 --> 00:33:08,667
-What's up, John?
-[John] How you doing, Henry?
794
00:33:08,667 --> 00:33:11,166
[Henry] We got some
good stuff for you today.
795
00:33:11,166 --> 00:33:12,200
-Do you?
-[Henry] Whoo-wee.
796
00:33:12,367 --> 00:33:14,000
I've been waiting for it
because I'm running low.
797
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,066
[Henry] I heard that.
798
00:33:15,233 --> 00:33:17,467
[John] All right, let me
grab onto that thing.
799
00:33:17,633 --> 00:33:19,700
You're driving around like
Steve McQueen in this.
800
00:33:19,867 --> 00:33:23,000
Yeah, well, I'm not that good
of a captain, you know.
801
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,667
-Good seeing you, big guy.
-Good to see you.
802
00:33:24,834 --> 00:33:27,000
I'm telling you.
We got you a little sample.
803
00:33:27,166 --> 00:33:29,300
-You all got the sample?
-[John] What'd you bring?
804
00:33:29,467 --> 00:33:31,867
We've got some very rare
apple brandy that we made
805
00:33:32,033 --> 00:33:34,667
with apple cider.
You're gonna love that.
806
00:33:34,834 --> 00:33:36,166
Oh, yeah.
807
00:33:42,166 --> 00:33:44,567
-That is some good stuff.
-[Henry] Man, what do you think?
808
00:33:44,567 --> 00:33:46,166
-That's delicious.
-All right.
809
00:33:46,333 --> 00:33:47,166
How much you bring me?
810
00:33:47,166 --> 00:33:49,467
Brought you a whole box,
whole case.
811
00:33:49,467 --> 00:33:50,967
[John] All right,
that's what I need.
812
00:33:51,133 --> 00:33:53,867
John loves our brandy,
and he's taking all we got.
813
00:33:54,033 --> 00:33:55,700
Let's get this on.
814
00:33:55,867 --> 00:33:58,467
Considering how this day
started, I feel like we made
815
00:33:58,633 --> 00:34:00,166
a great sale.
-[Henry] All right, buddy.
816
00:34:00,333 --> 00:34:01,367
All right, man.
Great to see you again.
817
00:34:01,367 --> 00:34:02,867
[Henry] Good to see you
again, too, man.
818
00:34:03,033 --> 00:34:04,667
-Enjoy that liquor.
-Now all we got to do is
819
00:34:04,834 --> 00:34:07,600
get back to the dock
and figure out our next move.
820
00:34:07,767 --> 00:34:09,100
We done 'bout got rid
of everything, ain't we?
821
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:11,367
Everybody else is
scratching and scrounging.
822
00:34:11,533 --> 00:34:13,567
-[Tickle] Uh-huh.
-We all got already run
brandy, man.
823
00:34:13,734 --> 00:34:15,367
[Tickle] Yeah, people can't even
find corn hardly yet.
824
00:34:15,533 --> 00:34:17,367
-We running brandy.
-[Henry] I love it.
825
00:34:17,367 --> 00:34:18,700
[chuckling]
826
00:34:18,867 --> 00:34:20,900
Make that money, honey.
I'm telling you right now.
827
00:34:21,066 --> 00:34:22,066
[Tickle] That's right.
828
00:34:27,567 --> 00:34:28,700
Yeah.
829
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,100
[theme music plays]
830
00:34:40,266 --> 00:34:41,867
We probably need to make it
look like somebody's
831
00:34:42,033 --> 00:34:43,900
living here.
-Not a bad idea.
832
00:34:44,066 --> 00:34:45,734
We did bring that
little tent in, though.
833
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:47,400
[Tickle] You want to set this
tent up that you were talking
834
00:34:47,567 --> 00:34:49,867
about, Henry?
-[Henry] Stretch it out, Paige.
835
00:34:50,033 --> 00:34:51,500
Just get the bottom.
Don't worry about that top.
836
00:34:53,367 --> 00:34:54,567
There you go.
837
00:34:54,567 --> 00:34:57,467
You can tell we haven't been
camping in a long, long time.
838
00:34:57,633 --> 00:34:59,467
[Tickle] No kidding, Henry.
Hop right here.
839
00:34:59,467 --> 00:35:01,066
[Henry] We don't have
too many rods on it, do we?
840
00:35:01,233 --> 00:35:03,100
Maybe it takes
one rod per thing.
841
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:04,867
They're connected together.
842
00:35:04,867 --> 00:35:06,266
-[Henry] They are?
-[Tickle] It's all one piece.
843
00:35:06,433 --> 00:35:08,367
-No, I think Paige has got it.
-[Henry] OK.
844
00:35:08,367 --> 00:35:10,166
-Yeah, stick it back through.
-Yeah.
845
00:35:10,333 --> 00:35:12,166
That goes through
this little hole.
846
00:35:12,333 --> 00:35:13,767
[Paige] All right, all right,
all right.
847
00:35:13,934 --> 00:35:16,867
OK, let me get out
of the way.
848
00:35:16,867 --> 00:35:18,300
Damn.
Wee doggy.
849
00:35:18,467 --> 00:35:20,266
[Tickle]
Well, it looks like somebody's
camping here now, don't it?
850
00:35:20,266 --> 00:35:21,533
Let's get some of
this trash up.
851
00:35:21,533 --> 00:35:23,600
[Tickle] Well, let's see what
we got going on in here, Henry.
852
00:35:23,767 --> 00:35:26,734
Oh, my God.
Yeah, this is damn
sure one person.
853
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:28,567
My wife ain't gonna get
up in this with me.
854
00:35:28,734 --> 00:35:30,600
She's gonna want a whole lot
more room than this.
855
00:35:30,767 --> 00:35:33,166
Damn, that tent ain't made
for old folks.
856
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:39,867
[Henry] Yeah.
857
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,500
We do a little fishing,
knocking around a little bit.
858
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,166
[Henry] Well, we're locals.
859
00:35:47,166 --> 00:35:48,600
We got a place over
the lake here.
860
00:35:48,767 --> 00:35:49,867
What are you doing, fishing?
861
00:35:50,033 --> 00:35:52,000
[woman speaking]
862
00:35:54,467 --> 00:35:56,667
[Henry]
One thing, if you find out
fooling with liquor or anything
863
00:35:56,834 --> 00:35:58,867
illegal, you've always got
people out there that's gonna
864
00:35:59,033 --> 00:36:00,734
stick their nose where it
doesn't need to be.
865
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:12,300
We don't know exactly what
this woman seen or what
866
00:36:12,467 --> 00:36:15,200
she knows, but it sure does
seem like those guys from
867
00:36:15,367 --> 00:36:17,500
the boat this morning
might have been talking.
868
00:36:17,667 --> 00:36:18,667
[Henry] Come on, son,
grab that rope, there.
869
00:36:18,667 --> 00:36:20,266
Let's get out of the way.
This woman's crazy.
870
00:36:20,266 --> 00:36:21,867
[Tickle] I mean, really.
871
00:36:21,867 --> 00:36:24,600
-[Tickle] I mean, damn.
-[Henry] What the hell?
872
00:36:27,066 --> 00:36:28,166
God dang it.
873
00:36:28,166 --> 00:36:30,567
We had a really good thing
going on this lake.
874
00:36:30,567 --> 00:36:32,567
[Henry] She knows
we've been at that island.
875
00:36:32,734 --> 00:36:34,767
-[Tickle] She damn sure does.
-Yep.
876
00:36:34,767 --> 00:36:37,200
But I think it's best we pack
up and leave before we draw
877
00:36:37,367 --> 00:36:38,300
the attention of the law.
878
00:36:43,767 --> 00:36:45,767
[Tim] All right Howard, well,
you know, we got to get
879
00:36:45,767 --> 00:36:48,467
in this barn,
unload all that stuff.
880
00:36:48,467 --> 00:36:50,500
Since I got to Kentucky,
it looks like it's just
881
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:53,066
falling together.
Gary connects me to DJ.
882
00:36:53,233 --> 00:36:55,867
DJ shows us the location.
We got a barn.
883
00:36:55,867 --> 00:36:58,100
It's on a creek bank.
Nice, clean water.
884
00:36:58,266 --> 00:37:00,166
We got stills.
We got sugar.
885
00:37:00,333 --> 00:37:01,400
We got corn.
886
00:37:01,567 --> 00:37:03,567
All we need to do now
is get back and mash in.
887
00:37:03,734 --> 00:37:05,467
There we go.
There we go.
888
00:37:05,467 --> 00:37:07,000
I got some lanterns set
over there if you want to
889
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,600
light one, buddy.
How you doing, Mr. Tim?
890
00:37:09,767 --> 00:37:10,734
[Tim] All right.
All right.
891
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:12,667
-I'm gonna shut this door.
-[DJ] Yeah.
892
00:37:12,834 --> 00:37:14,600
Well, you know, tonight is
a night to where we're gonna
893
00:37:14,767 --> 00:37:17,367
actually level these stills up,
get them ready.
894
00:37:17,367 --> 00:37:20,200
I'm gonna put some water
in them and get mashed in.
895
00:37:20,367 --> 00:37:21,734
It's all we got to do tonight.
896
00:37:25,367 --> 00:37:27,000
Easy with it, Howard.
Easy.
897
00:37:27,166 --> 00:37:28,567
Easy with it, Howard.
898
00:37:28,734 --> 00:37:30,834
[suspenseful music plays]
899
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:34,400
[Tim] Cut the lights off, guys.
Somebody's coming.
900
00:37:34,567 --> 00:37:36,600
Cut the lights off.
Cut it off.
901
00:37:37,734 --> 00:37:39,967
[suspenseful music plays]
902
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:43,200
[motors revving]
903
00:37:50,567 --> 00:37:52,000
Maybe they're just riding by.
904
00:37:54,467 --> 00:37:55,567
Well, there you go.
905
00:38:02,867 --> 00:38:04,367
[DJ] Nope, they're coming
back across.
906
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:07,066
[Tim] Coming on the other side.
907
00:38:08,367 --> 00:38:10,834
Uh, OK.
908
00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:15,300
-[Tim] I don't know.
-[DJ] What do we need to do?
909
00:38:15,467 --> 00:38:16,967
[Tim] I don't know.
Uh-oh.
910
00:38:17,133 --> 00:38:18,300
Uh-oh, they're getting ready
to come.
911
00:38:18,467 --> 00:38:19,867
Uh-oh.
There ain't no way out.
912
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:23,500
-[man] What's going on in here?
-[Tim] What are y'all doing?
913
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,500
[DJ] Gary gave us permission
to be here.
914
00:38:27,667 --> 00:38:28,767
Yes.
915
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,734
[DJ] They're good guys.
Gary introduced them to me.
916
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:41,000
[Tim] So what's the deal then?
917
00:38:41,967 --> 00:38:43,100
[man speaking]
918
00:38:45,367 --> 00:38:48,100
But he told us we could
come set up the stills.
919
00:38:48,266 --> 00:38:49,400
OK.
920
00:38:49,567 --> 00:38:51,367
-[man speaking]
-Yes, sir.
921
00:38:51,367 --> 00:38:53,266
That's it.
922
00:38:53,266 --> 00:38:55,033
Yeah, 100%.
923
00:38:57,500 --> 00:38:59,834
That means we're on the same
side, I guess, somewhat.
924
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:29,567
[Tim] So what, what,
what do we gotta do?
925
00:39:46,266 --> 00:39:47,467
[Tim] It looks like
we ain't got no choice.
926
00:39:47,633 --> 00:39:49,266
There's no damn choice
in this matter.
927
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,300
Right now, we're in someone
else's house,
928
00:39:56,467 --> 00:39:57,600
someone else's property,
929
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,000
and, you know, there's no way
we can fight this thing.
930
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,600
And I really need to make
the deal and finish the deal
931
00:40:02,767 --> 00:40:05,400
in Canada, so I have
no other choice.
932
00:40:07,867 --> 00:40:10,000
[man] All right,
fellas, let's go.
933
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,266
[maniacal laughter]
934
00:40:12,667 --> 00:40:14,266
I lost everything I had
in Virginia.
935
00:40:14,266 --> 00:40:16,200
I come here, I'm starting
all over again.
936
00:40:16,367 --> 00:40:17,734
I really need this opportunity,
937
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:19,834
but, you know,
it is what it is.
938
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,367
I've got to work with him.
939
00:40:21,533 --> 00:40:23,900
You know, he wants us to do
a favor for him,
940
00:40:24,066 --> 00:40:25,767
and then he does a favor for us.
941
00:40:25,934 --> 00:40:27,166
DJ got to communicate better.
942
00:40:27,166 --> 00:40:29,000
Well, DJ, you got to get
on board with us, man.
943
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:30,367
Not that it was
your fault, man.
944
00:40:30,367 --> 00:40:32,767
This is a whole, big
misunderstanding that should
945
00:40:32,934 --> 00:40:35,500
not have happened at all,
because this puts us behind
946
00:40:35,667 --> 00:40:37,166
time again.
947
00:40:37,333 --> 00:40:40,100
I'd rather have these guys on
my side than be against me.
948
00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:41,467
[DJ] Yes, sir.
949
00:40:41,467 --> 00:40:43,200
There ain't nothing
going as planned.
950
00:40:43,367 --> 00:40:45,100
No, this is far from
planned now.
951
00:40:47,567 --> 00:40:49,367
Well, I'm getting out
of his way.
952
00:40:49,533 --> 00:40:51,667
We're mashing peaches
and pumping juice,
953
00:40:51,667 --> 00:40:52,767
Kelly'll get you in a bind,
954
00:40:52,767 --> 00:40:54,467
and he'll get you
out of it, too.
955
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:57,600
Ah, you asshole.
956
00:40:59,166 --> 00:41:01,367
[Mike] You ready?
Well, she's a nice one,
ain't she?
957
00:41:01,367 --> 00:41:03,734
We're trying to construct
a still within one run
958
00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:06,166
we can produce an aged whiskey
that tastes like it's been in
959
00:41:06,333 --> 00:41:07,600
a barrel for several years.
960
00:41:07,767 --> 00:41:09,166
-[Jerry] I like it.
-[Mike] I do, too.
961
00:41:09,166 --> 00:41:11,734
If this thing works
and produces the aged whiskey
962
00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:14,967
that we're looking for here
today, we've changed the world.
963
00:41:15,133 --> 00:41:16,834
This is a dadgum warehouse,
aint it?
964
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,567
All the illegal stills
I ever run was always
965
00:41:18,734 --> 00:41:19,834
in the backwoods.
966
00:41:19,834 --> 00:41:22,266
Getting caught in this
large-scale illegal operation,
967
00:41:22,433 --> 00:41:24,200
you know, this could put me
in prison for a long time.
968
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:27,200
You heard that, didn't you?
969
00:41:27,367 --> 00:41:29,667
[Howard] Uh, we just lost power.
