Todd: THIS SEASON HAS BEEN INSANE.

WE'VE FOUGHT THE COUNTY AND THE STATE JUST TO BE ABLE TO MINE.

I PUT OUT A GOAL OF 5,000 OUNCES.

WE'VE COME UP SHORT, BUT WE'VE BROKEN EVEN,

AND NOW'S OUR CHANCE TO START MAKING MONEY.

Parker: I STARTED THIS SEASON WITH A WAR ON TWO FRONTS.

TODD BET ME 100 OUNCES THAT HE'D FIND MORE GOLD THAN US,

AND THERE IS NO WAY HE'S COLLECTING ON THAT BET.

I'VE FINALLY BOUGHT MY OWN GROUND IN THE YUKON,

BUT TONY IS FIGHTING ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

HIM.

BEFORE THIS SEASON IS OUT, I AM GOING TO MINE THIS GROUND.

Narrator: ON THIS SEASON FINALE...

Todd: OKAY, GUYS, FINAL WEEKS. WINTER IS HERE.

I KNOW WE'RE HANGING BY A THREAD, BUT, HEY, GUYS,

WE'RE HANGING.

WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THAT THING OFF?

YOU KNOW WHAT, TODD? WE'RE BROKEN BY THIS SEASON.

WE FAILED.

I WON'T DO ANOTHER SEASON LIKE IT.

THIS PLACE MAY BE A MUDHOLE, BUT TONY BEETS

ISN'T GETTING ANY OF THE GOLD OUT OF IT.

I TAKE ALL THE RISK, AND YOU GET ALL THE MONEY.

AND YOU CAN GO YOURSELF.

OUR 5,000-OUNCE GOAL TURNED OUT TO BE...

-WHOO! -YEAH!

Narrator: AND IT'S THE DAY OF RECKONING FOR PARKER AND TODD

ON THEIR 100-OUNCE BET.

THAT'S, LIKE, $100,000.

PRETTY FLIPPING NICE MORNING, HUH?

Todd: YEAH.

FRICKING COLD, TODD.

YOU THINK WINTER IS HERE TO SHUT US OUT?

THE FIGHT IS GETTING HARDER EVERY MORNING AND EVERY DAY NOW.

Narrator: IN COLORADO, TODD HOFFMAN IS DESPERATELY TRYING

TO TURN A HALFWAY DECENT PROFIT.

FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW,

HE'S NOWHERE NEAR HIS 5,000-OUNCE, $6 MILLION GOAL.

NOW WINTER IS TRYING TO FREEZE HIM OUT.

WE'LL SEE WHAT THIS BELT WILL DO HERE.

IT'S GOT ICE ALL THE WAY BUILT UNDERNEATH, ALL THE WAY AROUND.

YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE EVERY MORNING

TO THAW EVERYTHING OUT?

RIGHT HERE.

OLD MAN WINTER IS HERE, TODD.

DO WE CALL IT A SEASON OR...

I HATE TO.

I MEAN, IF WE COULD GET ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO,

IT'D BE GREAT.

I KNOW. I AGREE.

I WANT TO GET MORE GOLD TO THESE GUYS.

I THINK WE SHOULD HOLD OUR HEADS HIGH.

I SAY WE RUN WHATEVER WE CAN.

OKAY. I'LL CALL THE GUYS.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S HIT IT, MAN.

Narrator: TODD'S TWO WASH PLANTS, RUSTY RED AND HOLY ROLLER,

HAVE MINED ONLY 1,540 OUNCES,

LEAVING HIM AND HIS DEMORALIZED CREW

LESS THAN $50,000 PROFIT TO SHARE BETWEEN THEM.

OKAY, GUYS, FINAL WEEKS, IT'S GETTING COLD.

I KNOW WE'RE HANGING BY A THREAD, BUT HEY, GUYS,

WE'RE HANGING.

I KNOW IT SUCKS.

WE JUST GOT TO PUSH THROUGH, GUYS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

WE'RE GOING TO SHOW UP EVERY OTHER DAY,

AND IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THIS.

KEVIN, LISTEN TO ME.

WE ARE MAKING MONEY NOW, SO LET'S PUSH HARD

AND GET AS MUCH GOLD AS WE CAN RIGHT HERE TO THE END.

READY? LET'S GO.

LET'S GET TO WORK.

Narrator: EVERY DAY THEY KEEP RUNNING PAY DIRT

COULD EARN TODD AND HIS CREW ANOTHER $14,000.

Todd: COME ON, BABY!

IT'S ALL STARTED.

YOU WANT TO HIT A LITTLE WATER ON US?

Man: Water is coming.

THE BOXES ARE THAWING OUT.

WE'RE HOPING THAT WE'LL JUST GET SOME DAMN GOLD THROUGH

HOLY ROLLER.

Freddy: I JUST WANT TO KEEP RUSTY RED RUNNING.

LET'S FIRE IT UP, GUYS.

ROCK CONVEYOR, HEAT CONVEYOR.

I'M GOING TO BUMP THAT SCREW IN CASE IT'S FROZEN.

AND IT MIGHT BE FROZEN.

HEY, TODD.

Todd: Go ahead, Freddy.

I THINK THE SAND SCREW IS FROZE SOLID.

We got to get Rusty Red running, Freddy.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

Try it backwards.

THERE IT GOES.

SWEET.

START IT UP!

Looking good, looking good.

WE'RE SHUT DOWN MOST OF THE SEASON,

AND I'M SURE AS HELL NOT GOING TO STOP FOR NOTHING.

WE GOT TO KEEP THIS PLANT RUNNING AS LONG AS WE CAN.

LET'S MAKE SOME GOLD, GUYS.

WE'RE RUNNING, FINALLY.

Parker: YOU KNOW, WINTER IS SETTING IN.

WE'VE GOT TO KEEP OUR HEAD DOWN AND KEEP CHARGING FORWARD.

Narrator: 2,000 MILES NORTH IN THE YUKON, PARKER SCHNABEL

JUST RAISED THE STAKES ON THE BEST SEASON OF HIS CAREER.

WE'VE HIT OUR 5,000-OUNCE GOAL, WHICH IS REALLY SWEET,

AND NOW WE'RE GOING FOR 6,000 OUNCES.

Narrator: WITH SLUICIFER IN THE LAST CUT, RUNNING THE BEST PAY DIRT

HE'S EVER MINED, PARKER STILL HAS A CHANCE.

Parker: YEAH. I KNOW THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE EASY,

BUT WE'RE HERE TO MAKE MONEY, AND WE'RE MAKING MONEY.

I THINK THE BETTER THE GROUND, THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE.

Narrator: TWO WEEKS AGO,

IN A MOVE TO BREAK FREE FROM LANDLORD TONY BEETS,

PARKER SPENT $500,000 ON HIS FIRST-EVER KLONDIKE CLAIM.

DEFINITELY NICE NOT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH TONY ANYMORE,

AND, LIKE, ON THIS GROUND,

WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY HIM ANY ROYALTIES.

I THINK MAYBE WE MOVE BIG RED DOWN HERE.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GAME WITH THAT.

Narrator: BUT LAST WEEK... WHAT THE ?

...TONY CUT OFF THE WATER SUPPLY,

MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SLUICE.

YOU CAN'T DENY US WATER.

NOW PARKER'S HALF-MILLION-DOLLAR INVESTMENT IS ON THE LINE.

SO WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE THIS DIRT HERE.

NO.

IT'S A LONG HAUL DOWN TO BIG RED.

WHAT IS IT, 4 MILES?

PROBABLY 4 MILES TO BIG RED.

BUT WE CAN'T LET TONY WIN ON THIS ONE.

NO.

NO MATTER WHAT, WE CAN'T LET HIM CALL THE SHOTS.

I AGREE.

I THINK, IF YOU CAN'T BRING THE PLANT TO THE PAY,

THEN WE'LL BREAK OUR RULES AND BRING THE PAY TO THE PLANT.

IT'S THE LAST OPTION

WE'VE GOT... YEAH.

...IS TO JUST HAUL THIS OUT OF HERE.

LET'S GET THE GOLD OUT OF IT THEN.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS GOING TO WORK

BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY NOT ALLOWED TO SLUICE OTHER GROUND

ON TONY'S PROPERTY, BUT AT THIS POINT,

WE'VE GOT REALLY NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.

WELCOME TO MY MUDHOLE, MITCH.

Narrator: PARKER'S LAST-DITCH PLAN --

HAUL THE PAY DIRT FROM THE MUDHOLE

THROUGH TONY'S CAMP

4 MILES BACK TO BIG RED AT INDIAN RIVER.

YEAH, NO WORRIES, GOT YOU.

Minnie: OH, MY .

Monica: DO THEY HAVE TO DRIVE SO FAST?

DID HE HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH THE YARD?

HOLY SMOKES, LOOK AT THAT ONE COMING.

I'M PRETTY SURE WE NEED TO PARK A ROCK TRUCK, LIKE,

RIGHT IN THEIR WAY.

NO. YOU CAN'T STOP THEM.

AS FAR AS IN THE YUKON, THERE IS NO TRESPASSING LAW.

YOU HAVE TO GIVE PEOPLE ACCESS TO THEIR MINING GROUND,

SO YOU CAN'T REALLY STOP THEM.

Mitch: MAN, YOU SHOULD SEE THE LOOK ON THESE GUYS' FACE.

THEY DON'T LOOK TOO HAPPY.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE THAN TONY BEETS

TO STOP THIS CREW.

OH, MAN. THIS IS MESSY AS...

WHILE YOU'RE ALL LOADED UP, WHY DON'T YOU GO PARADE

THAT TRUCK FULL OF GOLD PAST TONY?

JUST TRY AND SMILE AND WAVE WHEN YOU GO BY HIM.

SEE IF I CAN GET OUT OF HERE.

OH, MAN. IT'S SLOPPY AS DOWN THERE.

THE GROUND IS QUITE MESSED UP, BUT WE'VE GOT OUR OWN GROUND.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

Narrator: BACK AT INDIAN RIVER, PARKER IS BUILDING A STOCKPILE

OF HIS OWN PAY READY TO RUN THROUGH BIG RED.

Parker: I THINK WE GOT ENOUGH OF A PILE TO FIRE UP A WASH PLANT.

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD START.

YOU WANT TO SHUT THE BYPASS AND SEE WHAT WE GOT FOR WATER?

THERE WE GO. WHOO!

Parker: HOW'S SHE LOOKING? EVERYTHING IS RUNNING.

WE JUST NEED TO PUT A SCOOP OF DIRT IN.

LET'S DO IT. I'M READY TO GO.

THE NICE THING ABOUT ALL THIS PAY DIRT IS NO ROYALTIES.

NO ROYALTIES, WELL, HOPEFULLY, THERE'S SOME GOLD IN IT.

THERE IT IS.

Narrator: FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,

PARKER IS RUNNING DIRT FROM HIS OWN KLONDIKE CLAIM.

THIS IS A BIG MOMENT FOR US.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO FIND GOLD.

WE'RE REALLY DAMN CLOSE, REALLY CLOSE.

FRED: Maybe that's where the gold is, right underneath it.

YEAH!

GOT POWER IN THE WATER!

I GOT HIT.

-HOLY -THAT'S GOOD.

THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF GOLD RIGHT THERE.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR, MAN, RIGHT?

-YEP, THAT'S IT. -THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE, MAN.

IDEALLY, I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE BOLTS OUT.

Narrator: AT THE START OF THE SEASON,

TONY BEETS SET HIMSELF TWO GOALS --

MINE 3,000 OUNCES

AND BARGE HIS SECOND DREDGE 100 MILES

DOWN THE YUKON RIVER TO DAWSON CITY.

8 WEEKS AGO, TONY'S BARGE, THE JASMINE B, RAN AGROUND...

WHOA.

THERE'S A LOT OF WATER COMING IN THOSE PROP SHOTS.

...LEAVING THE BARGE CONFINED TO DAWSON

WITH A LEAKING HULL AND SUSPECTED PROP DAMAGE.

NOW TONY NEEDS TO FIX THE BARGE AND START SHIPPING THE DREDGE

BEFORE THE RIVER FREEZES OVER.

FOR THE LAST MONTH, TONY HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTING

A 120-FOOT STEEL RAMP OUT OF 24-INCH I-BEAM.

WHEN HE GETS IT TO DAWSON, HE'LL LOWER IT INTO THE YUKON RIVER,

THEN WINCH THE BARGE OUT OF THE WATER

TO ACCESS THE HULL AND PROPELLERS.

WE GOT IT ALL NICELY LINED UP.

WE NEED TO CHAIN HER DOWN.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO DRIVE INTO TOWN.

I ONLY FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS I'M GIVEN.

Narrator: AFTER LOSING 8 WEEKS TO THE DAMAGED BARGE,

TONY FINALLY HAS A WAY TO GET HIS SEASON BACK ON TRACK.

WE'RE WELL INTO THE FIVES, MIGHT EVEN GET UP

TO 6,000 OUNCES THIS YEAR,

BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME PRETTY RICH STUFF, MAN.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DAMN GOOD.

AT INDIAN RIVER, PARKER IS RUNNING PAY DIRT

FROM HIS MUDHOLE CUT IN A LAST-DITCH EFFORT

TO HIT HIS 6,000-OUNCE SEASON GOAL.

Parker: WE'VE GOT OUR OWN GROUND.

HOPEFULLY, THERE'S A BUNCH OF GOLD IN THERE.

Rick: THAT LOOKS WEIRD.

SOMETHING IS BURNING.

WOW. THE BEARING ON THIS TAIL WHEEL IS SMOKED.

TALK ABOUT PUSHING SOMETHING TO ITS LIMITS.

IT DOESN'T GET ANY FARTHER THAN THAT.

I HATE RUNNING IT LIKE THAT,

BUT I'M NOT WILLING TO LET THAT BEARING STOP ME

FROM FINDING OUT WHAT'S IN THAT PILE OF DIRT.

NOTHING WE CAN DO REALLY EXCEPT KEEP PACKING IT WITH GREASE.

WE'LL JUST RUN IT UNTIL IT BLOWS APART, I GUESS.

Parker: THAT BEARING IS PRETTY SHOT, AND NOW WITH THE COLD WEATHER,

YOU KNOW, NOTHING IS REAL HAPPY ABOUT RUNNING HERE,

SO HOPEFULLY, WE CAN JUST KEEP EVERYTHING GOING,

AND THERE'S LOTS OF GOLD IN IT AND NICE, HAPPY ENDING.

IT'S USUALLY NOT AS SIMPLE AS THAT THOUGH, IS IT?

OH .

RICK, THERE'S A FIRE ON THE FEEDER OVER THERE.

SHUT IT DOWN!

Narrator: UP AHEAD...

THERE IT IS, GUYS.

WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT WE DID, RICK.

-THAT'S SOME PRETTY GOLD. -COUPLE OF BUCKS.

-WHOO! -BEST CREW IN THE KLONDIKE.

-WHOO! -YEAH.

RICK, THERE'S A FIRE ON THE FEEDER OVER THERE.

Narrator: AT INDIAN RIVER...

SHUT IT DOWN!

...PARKER IS DESPERATE TO HIT HIS 6,000-OUNCE GOAL,

BUT HIS FEED CONVEYOR IS ON FIRE.

Parker: HOLY

NICE JOB WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE, BUT THE FIRE IS OUT.

WHEW.

WHAT THE , MAN?

WELL, AT LEAST IT DIDN'T LIGHT THE WHOLE BELT ON FIRE.

DON'T LOOK LIKE IT.

LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE MIGHT BE OKAY.

THAT THING IS , THOUGH.

DUDE, WHAT HAPPENED?

A BEARING CAUGHT ON FIRE.

YEAH. THERE'S NO BEARING LEFT.

THAT'S JUST THE INSIDE... COME ON.

...RIDING ON WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE OUTSIDE RACE.

WELL, NO WONDER IT HEATED UP SO BAD.

YEAH. I'M SURE IT WAS THE GREASE BURNING.

HOLY .

SUPPOSED TO BE LITTLE BALLS IN THERE THAT IT ALL SPINS NICE ON,

AND THERE'S NOTHING LEFT.

SO CLOSE TO THE END. RIGHT?

SO CLOSE.

I MEAN, WE'D PROBABLY BE LOOKING AT MOST OF THE DAY

TO CHANGE THIS OUT BY THE TIME WE PULL THE GEARBOX ASSEMBLIES,

AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND WHEN WE GET IN THERE?

WELL, WE COULD WAKE UP TOMORROW AND BE FROZEN OUT.

RIGHT. THEN WE'LL HAVE A FROZEN-ASS WASH PLANT

BY THE TIME WE GET THAT FIXED, RIGHT?

YEAH. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

OKAY.

Parker: WELL, WE WON'T HAVE ANY MORE FIRES THOUGH

BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO BURN IN THERE, IS IT?

IT'S JUST STEEL?

IT'S JUST STEEL ON STEEL, SO THERE'S NOTHING FLAMMABLE.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IN MY OPINION,

IT. WE JUST RUN IT.

IT'S ALL SPINNING RIGHT NOW, SO LET'S JUST FIRE BACK UP.

WE'RE GOING TO GET 6,000 OUNCES.

EVERYTHING IS GRINDING AND GROANING

AND WAILING.

MAN, I'M JUST GOING TO WILL IT TO HOLD ON.

Todd: YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT COULD'VE GONE WRONG THIS YEAR

HAS GONE WRONG.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET 5,000,

BUT IT SURE FEELS GOOD JUST TO BE RUNNING.

Narrator: THERE ARE JUST DAYS LEFT OF THE SEASON,

AND THE HOFFMAN CREW HAS BARELY SCRAPED A PROFIT.

IT'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY, REALLY FRUSTRATING.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ENDING

OVER 3,000 OUNCES SHORT OF OUR TARGET,

SO THAT'S NOT A LITTLE MISS.

THAT'S A BIG MISS.

Narrator: BUT HOLY ROLLER IS FINALLY DIALED IN AND ON THE GOLD.

WE NEED TO GET AS MUCH DIRT IN THIS PLANT AS WE CAN BECAUSE,

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY MORE TIME TO RUN THIS,

GET TOWARD THE END OF THE SEASON SO.

What was that about?

THE CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE TROMMEL

AND THE SPLITTER FOR THE SLUICE BOX

JUST CAME UNDONE.

KILL THE WATER. KILL THE WATER.

KILL IT. KILL IT.

HOW THE FRICK DID THAT HAPPEN?

SCABBED-TOGETHER PIECE OF .

LOOK AT THIS. IT'S ALL JUST SILICONE

AND FUNNY FOAM, FOAM INSULATION.

YOU DON'T BUILD IN MINING WITH SILICONE AND FOAM.

YOU BOLT STUFF TOGETHER, OR YOU WELD STUFF TOGETHER.

Narrator: SIX WEEKS AGO, TODD CUT CORNERS

FITTING HOLY ROLLER'S SLUICE BOXES.

WE JUST TWISTED THE WHOLE BED.

LET'S HIT THAT WITH SOME SILICONE.

OKAY.

Narrator: NOW TREY IS DEALING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF TODD'S DECISION.

Trey: I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS THINKING.

YOU KNOW, I'M TIRED OF BEING HALF-ASSED TOGETHER,

AND WE HAVE TO KEEP REDOING IT,

REDOING IT AND REDOING IT.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS JUST TAKE A PIECE

OF CONVEYOR BELT,

PUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FIRST CHUTE

TO THE INSIDE OF THE SECOND CHUTE.

TAKE SOME PLATE, BOLT IT DOWN AS TIGHT AS WE CAN GET IT.

HOPEFULLY, IT SEALS IT OFF, BUSH FIX.

Trey: WELL, WE'RE GETTING NOWHERE QUICK.

Narrator: EVERY HOUR THEY ARE DOWN COSTS THE HOFFMAN CREW

$1,400 IN LOST GOLD.

MORALE IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.

Andy: TREY IS GOING TO DO IT THE WAY IT SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE

WEEKS AGO,

AND HAD IT BEEN DONE THAT WAY TO BEGIN WITH,

WE'D BE SITTING THERE RUNNING DIRT AND MAKING GOLD.

Hunter: YEAH. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DOWNTIME,

AND IT FEELS LIKE WE CAN'T RUN 2 HOURS

WITHOUT SOMETHING GOING WRONG.

YEAH. WE'RE BOLTING IN THESE METAL STRAPS,

HOPEFULLY SEAL THIS RUBBER.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO WORK, DUDE.

NOW THIS IS FLEXIBLE.

IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE IT AROUND AT ALL DOWN THERE,

IT'LL FLEX AND MOVE WITH YOU.

NOW.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S THE LAST BOLT.

WE'RE READY TO GO, READY TO FIRE UP.

TROMMEL IS COMING ON. TROMMEL IS COMING ON.

TROMMEL IS SPINNING.

ALL RIGHT. FEEDERS ARE GOING.

I'M GOING TO LET THE SLUICE FILL UP,

AND I'M GOING TO GIVE IT A SHOT.

Narrator: AFTER 7 HOURS AND MAYBE $10,000 IN LOST GOLD,

HOLY ROLLER IS FINALLY BACK UP AND RUNNING AND MAKING MONEY.

YEAH. THIS BABY WORKS LIKE A DREAM.

IT'S LOOKING GOOD.

Narrator: UP AHEAD...

PARKER, WE GOT SOME BUSINESS, HUH?

Parker: THAT'S, LIKE, $100,000.

A DEAL IS A DEAL, I GUESS.

Narrator: TONY SHOULD'VE SHIPPED HIS DREDGE BACK TO DAWSON WEEKS AGO,

BUT HIS BARGE IS STILL OUT OF ACTION,

AND WINTER IS ABOUT TO HIT.

DESPERATE TO ACHIEVE HIS GOAL OF RUNNING THE SECOND DREDGE,

HE FIRST HAS TO PULL THE BARGE OUT AND REPAIR ANY DAMAGE.

TONY HAS BUILT A 120-FOOT STEEL RAMP

TO PULL THE STRICKEN BARGE OUT OF THE RIVER.

YEP.

STRAIGHT BACK. STRAIGHT BACK.

HOLD IT THERE.

LOOKS GOOD, LOOKS GOOD.

Christie: IT'S A LITTLE SKETCHY HAVING TWO LOADERS

HOOKED UP TO A BIG PIECE OF STEEL,

BUT IT'S ABOUT THE ONLY WAY WE CAN MOVE IT.

Narrator: MIKE BEETS DRIVES IN THE OSHKOSH

TO HAUL THE BARGE ONTO THE RAMP.

THE MILITARY-GRADE SEMI'S TWO HYDRAULIC WINCHES

ARE RATED TO HAUL A MASSIVE 55 TONS.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO DOUBT IN MY MIND

THAT THIS WINCH WILL HAVE TROUBLE PULLING THIS OUT.

I GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER.

SOUNDS GOOD.

JUST GOING TO GET LINED UP,

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE HER ON THAT RAMP.

IT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD, DONE A GOOD JOB LINING UP.

THE ANGLE IS TRYING TO PULL THE BOAT FORWARD,

WITHOUT PULLING IT UP.

WITH THE WAY THE WINCHES ARE TRYING TO PULL,

I'M DOUBLING MY WEIGHT NOW,

SO NOW I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO LIFT.

Narrator: LEN BRINGS IN THE 988 LOADER TO ADD EXTRA PULLING POWER.

OSHKOSH SAID THE WINCHES ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH,

SO WE NEED A LITTLE BIT HELP OF THE LOADER.

Narrator: IN DAWSON CITY...

...TONY IS STRUGGLING TO HAUL

IN HIS STRICKEN 60-TON POWER BARGE.

THE CLEVER IS SNAPPED, SHEARED CLEAN OFF.

LEN WAS A LITTLE TOO VIGOROUS.

IF THEY BREAK, THEY'RE COMING THIS WAY.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE THIS.

IT'S SO I KEEP THAT PRETTY FACE AND HEAD ALL STILL THERE.

Narrator: TONY NEEDS TO DRY DOCK THE BARGE AND FIX IT

SO THAT HE CAN SHIP HIS GOLD DREDGE BACK TO DAWSON

BEFORE THE RIVER FREEZES OVER.

Mike: I THINK YOU GOT A LEAK.

THE BLADES ARE OVER AN INCH THICK.

IT WOULD'VE TAKEN A HELL OF A BEATING TO BUST THAT OFF.

WE ARE SO CLOSE.

Narrator: FOR THE SECOND SEASON IN A ROW,

TONY HAS FAILED TO GET THE DREDGE OUT OF THISTLE CREEK.

THE HOFFMAN CREW HAS LESS THAN $50,000 PROFIT

TO SHOW FOR THEIR BACKBREAKING SEASON.

WINTER IS APPROACHING FAST.

RUSTY RED AND HOLY ROLLER ARE RUNNING HARD

FOR EVERY OUNCE OF GOLD.

Hunter: HEY, I NEED MORE PAY UP HERE AT THE TROMMEL.

Sutherland: ROGER THAT.

SOMETHING JUST BROKE ON THIS TRUCK.

Man: COPY. WHERE YOU AT?

BOTTOM OF THE HILL, FAIRPLAY.

Doug: JUAN. GO AHEAD, DOUG.

HEY, YEAH. WE NEED TO GET DOWN HERE.

WE GOT ANOTHER BROKEN DRIVE SHAFT.

WE CAN'T EVEN MOVE THAT ONE?

DO WE NOT HAVE ANY OTHER TRUCKS?

WE'RE GOING TO BE SHUT DOWN HERE UNLESS WE CAN MOVE IT.

ALL RIGHT. TEN-FOUR. YEAH, I'M ON MY WAY.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

SHELLED ANOTHER DRIVESHAFT.

OH

THIS ONE IS PRETTY BAD THOUGH THIS TIME.

HERE I COME.

OH.

THAT U-JOINT IS ALL UP.

WHAT'S THAT YOKE LOOK LIKE?

OH, THAT YOKE IS GONE.

CAN YOU GET ON THE PHONE AND GET ONE OF THOSE COMING?

I ORDERED ONE A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

IT TOOK ME 2 WEEKS TO GET THAT YOKE.

WE WON'T GET IT IN TIME.

Todd: WHAT NOW?

WELL, IT THREW A DRIVE LINE.

THE U-JOINT BUSTED OFF, WHICH ISN'T THE BAD PART.

UGH.

THE BAD PART IS IT SCREWED UP THE YOKE.

WE'RE ABOUT 2 WEEKS OUT ON THAT YOKE.

DUDE, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? NOPE.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER SPARE TRUCKS, MAN, SO IT'S YOUR CALL.

I'M JUST TELLING YOU THIS IS BAD.

Narrator: TWO OF THEIR ROCK TRUCKS ARE ALREADY OUT OF ACTION.

NOW, A THIRD IS DOWN.

THE LAST REMAINING TRUCK CAN ONLY HAUL PAY DIRT TO ONE PLANT.

WE CAN ONLY RUN ONE PLANT NOW,

PLAIN AND SIMPLE. OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE WE WANT TO RUN.

ALL RIGHT. NOT GOOD.

Todd: I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS AT THE END OF THE SEASON.

IT'S TOUGH. STUFF STARTS TO BREAK.

WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MACHINES TO RUN TWO PLANTS.

I CAN'T CATCH A FRICKING BREAK.

IT FEELS LIKE COLORADO HAS GOT A CURSE ON IT.

FREDDY.

WHAT'S GOING ON, TODD?

WE NEED TO SHUT HER DOWN.

DO WHAT?

WE LOST ANOTHER ROCK TRUCK.

WE ONLY GOT ONE LEFT.

WE CAN ONLY RUN ONE PLANT.

HOLY ROLLER IS RUNNING MORE YARDS.

WE GOT TO SHUT HER DOWN.

SO WE'RE DOWN JUST BECAUSE OF EQUIPMENT?

YEAH.

WELL, THAT'S KIND OF BULL

I FOUGHT ALL FRICKING SUMMER TO GET THIS RUNNING.

I KNOW, MAN, BUT IT JUST COMES DOWN TO YARDAGE.

I NEED YOU TO SHUT HER OFF.

MAKE THAT YOUR LAST BUCKET. WE'RE SHUTTING DOWN.

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EQUIPMENT TO RUN TWO PLANTS.

IT'S A BUNCH OF BULL IS WHAT IT IS.

MY HEART ISN'T IN THAT TROMMEL UP THERE.

I WORKED MY ASS OFF THIS SUMMER SO THIS PLANT COULD BE HERE,

AND THAT PLANT COULD BE THERE,

AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO SHUT RUSTY RED DOWN.

WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THAT THING OFF?

Todd: THIS IS NOTHING ABOUT FRIENDSHIP.

THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT PLANTS.

IT'S A SIMPLE SITUATION WHERE IT COMES DOWN TO

HOLY ROLLER IS RUNNING MORE YARDS.

MORE YARDS -- MORE GOLD.

I KNOW FREDDY IS NOT HAPPY, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

I'M IN CHARGE.

Narrator: IN COLORADO,

OVERNIGHT THE TEMPERATURE HAS DROPPED

BY ANOTHER 5 DEGREES.

THE HOFFMANS' ONLY REMAINING WORKING WASH PLANT

IS FROZEN SOLID.

HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO RUN, DUDE?

THE SLUICE BOX IS BURIED IN SNOW.

THE FRICKING TROMMEL IS FROZEN.

Narrator: TODD FACES A BATTLE WITH THE COLD AND A BROKEN CREW.

I CAN'T KEEP GOING LIKE THIS.

THIS IS STUPID TO KEEP GOING. THAT'S WHAT YOU DO IN MINING.

YOU FIGHT THROUGH IT.

-WHAT'S UP, GUYS? -IT FROZE, HUH?

A LITTLE BIT.

I'M TIRED OF SHOWING UP HERE EVERY DAY

AND IT BEING LIKE THIS.

IT'S JUST GOING TO GET WORSE.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT, KEVIN.

DUDE, IF YOU COME LOOK AT THIS, ALL THE WATER IN HERE IS ICED.

THE WHOLE MANIFOLD IS FULL OF ICE.

-THE WHOLE MANIFOLD IS ICED. -THAT'S FROZEN.

-THERE'S NO WAY TO DRAIN IT. -THE WHOLE MOTOR IS FROZEN.

Hunter: THE SLUICE BOX IS FROZEN.

WELL, LET'S THAW IT OUT AND RUN IT.

IF WE COULD RUN THE WHOLE DAY, FINE, BUT WE'RE NOT.

WE'RE SHUTTING DOWN THREE OR FOUR TIMES.

Sutherland: THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT DIALED IN.

NOW IT'S DIALED IN AND YOU --

IT'S NOT DIALED IN. IT IS DIALED IN.

Logan: THAT'S CALLED PISS-POOR PLANNING,

DIALING IT IN IN THE WINTER.

PISS-POOR PLANNING.

YOU GET THIS DIALED IN MONTHS AGO.

IT'S A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT, BUD.

WE'RE IN PROFITABLE TERRITORY, GUYS.

I DON'T WANT TO STOP, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT'S DRIVING THIS,

AND I REALLY WANT TO GET MORE GOLD TO YOU GUYS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOST TIME WITH, YOU KNOW,

FAIRPLAY THIS SUMMER, AND THE WEATHER IS CLOSING IN.

WE MIGHT HAVE JUST BIT OFF MORE THAN WE COULD CHEW

AT THE END OF THE SEASON.

Freddy: WE FOUGHT THE GOVERNMENT ALL SEASON

SO WE COULD MINE THIS PROPERTY WHERE THE GOOD GOLD IS.

WE'VE GONE FROM THREE PLANTS TO TWO PLANTS TO ONE PLANT,

AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT GOING FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.

Sutherland: I AGREE 100%.

WE'RE ABOVE THE PROFIT LINE.

EVERYTHING WE GET IS PROFIT, GUYS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I APPRECIATE THAT,

BUT WE'RE BROKEN BY THIS SEASON.

WE FAILED.

THE ONLY FAIR WAY TO DO IT IS

WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE.

WE'RE A TEAM.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT.

I VOTE WE THAW IT OUT AND KEEP RUNNING.

I'M WITH TODD. THAW IT AND RUN.

THAT'S THREE.

HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS?

I'M READY TO GO.

JUAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK WE'RE JUST FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE, YOU KNOW?

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 4 OR 5 HOURS TO TRY TO START UP.

I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S WORTH IT ANYMORE.

HUNTER?

I THINK WE SHOULD BE DONE THIS YEAR.

OKAY. THAT'S THREE, THREE.

LOG?

I THINK YOU CALL IT

WHEN THE GOLD YOU'RE GOING TO GET

IN THE FEW HOURS YOU CAN RUN ISN'T WORTH YOUR TIME,

AND I THINK WE'RE AT THAT POINT.

IT'S TIME.

WELL, ANDY, YOU'RE THE ONE MOVING ALL THE PAY DIRT

OVER TO THE PLANT. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU KNOW, I THINK THE ONE THING THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL THE FIGHT

IS THE ELEMENTS AND THE EQUIPMENT,

BUT I DON'T WANT US TO FIGHT EACH OTHER,

AND I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.

I DON'T WANT TO END IT LIKE LAST YEAR,

SO I VOTE WE'RE DONE.

Todd: SO WE VOTED.

WE GOT OUTVOTED.

THIS IS IT THEN, HUH?

LAST YEAR, WE DIDN'T WALK OUT AS A TEAM.

I LITERALLY HAVE NOT TALKED, REALLY, WITH DAVE FOR A YEAR,

AND WE SPENT A LOT OF YEARS TOGETHER,

SO I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN WITH THIS GROUP.

OKAY, GUYS.

IT'S TIME. IT'S OVER.

WE'LL PULL THE MATS, AND SEE WHAT WE GOT.

Narrator: AFTER 5 MONTHS,

THE HOFFMANS' DISASTROUS SEASON IS OVER.

ALL THAT'S LEFT IS THE LAST CLEANUP AND FINAL GOLD TOTAL.

Parker: WELL, WE'RE HERE TO FIND EVERY OUNCE OF GOLD WE CAN,

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

Narrator: PARKER IS STILL OVER 200 OUNCES SHORT

OF HIS NEW 6,000-OUNCE SEASON GOAL.

HE IS GOING ALL OUT, RUNNING PAY DIRT

FROM THE LAST CUT THROUGH SLUICIFER

AND HAULING PAY FROM HIS NEW MUDHOLE CUT

AND RUNNING IT THROUGH BIG RED AT INDIAN RIVER.

Parker: IT'S ALL A GAMBLE, BUT WE'RE JUST KIND OF DOING

WHAT WE HAVE TO AT THIS POINT

TO GET THE GOLD OUT OF THE GROUND.

Chris: NO, THIS IS DIFFERENT GROUND. IT'S NOT TONY'S,

SO WE'RE NOT PAYING THE OUTRAGEOUS ROYALTIES,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE OUR FIRST STEP

TO GETTING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIM

AND BEING INDEPENDENT MINERS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I HOPE THERE'S SOME GOLD IN THIS .

THERE HAS TO BE.

WHO'S THIS?

TONY BEETS.

WHOA, THERE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

I'M NOT HERE TO ANYBODY OVER.

ACTUALLY, YOU'LL GET OVER A MILLION BUCKS THIS YEAR,

SO I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM

WITH EVERY LITTLE TINY

THING WE DO, TONY.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIT BACK AND MAKE MONEY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS"?

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS. I DO ALL THE WORK.

I TAKE ALL THE RISK, AND YOU GET ALL THE MONEY.

YEAH, FOR YOU IT IS.

WE GOT A PILE OF PAY HERE NOW, TONY.

WE'RE GOING TO RUN IT.

AND YOU CAN GO YOURSELF.

Man: WHAT THE WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

Parker: TONY SHUT THE PLANT DOWN.

Narrator: AT INDIAN RIVER,

PARKER HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN BY TONY BEETS

FOR RUNNING HIS OWN PAY DIRT ON TONY'S GROUND.

HE DOESN'T WANT US SLUICING DIRT

FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE ON HIS GROUND,

AND THAT'S JUST TONY BEETS TRYING TO SHOW HE'S IN CONTROL,

AND HE'S THE BOSS, AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S NOT.

Narrator: OVER AT THE LAST CUT, GROUND PARKER LEASES FROM TONY,

SLUICIFER IS STILL RUNNING PAY DIRT.

PARKER PAYS A MASSIVE 20% ROYALTY ON THIS PAY DIRT,

AND IT'S ABOUT TO GET EVEN WORSE.

Parker: WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO 6,000 OUNCES,

WHICH IS THE TIPPING POINT FOR 25% ROYALTIES,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M NOT GOING TO PAY YOUR 25%

CHRIS! RICK! CAN YOU COME DOWN THE CUT?

WHAT'S HAPPENING, GENTLEMEN?

WE'RE KIND OF COMING TOWARDS A PERFECT STORM RIGHT NOW

IN A SENSE THAT 25% ROYALTIES,

YOU KNOW, 1 IN 4 HOURS IS WORKING FOR TONY.

LIKE, 6 HOURS A DAY WE'RE SLUICING JUST TO PAY THE MAN.

LIKE, I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT THIS JUST TO PAY

TONY A QUARTER OF EVERYTHING WE BRING IN.

YEAH, THERE'S NO NEED TO BREAK ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT

AND OUR BACKS JUST TO PAY TONY EXTRA GOLD, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT. WELL, YEAH.

LET'S JUST RUN WHAT WE'VE GOT UP, SHUT DOWN,

CLEAN UP, CALL IT A SEASON.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD CALL.

YEAH. GOT IT. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, GUYS.

YOU CAN LET A GUY LIKE TONY WIN A FEW BATTLES

BUT NOT THE WAR.

THAT ONE'S OURS.

Narrator: IN AN ACT OF DEFIANCE,

PARKER IS SHUTTING DOWN FOR THE SEASON

BEFORE WINTER FREEZES HIM OUT.

WELL, HERE WE GO. THIS IS THE LAST SCOOP.

-THERE IT IS. -YEAH. THAT'S THE END OF IT.

Rick: LAST FEW ROCKS.

Man: WE'RE DONE. SHUT HER DOWN.

-WHOO. -WHOO.

YAY.

Narrator: PARKER STILL NEEDS OVER 200 OUNCES

TO HIT HIS 6,000-OUNCE SEASON GOAL.

Parker: YEAH, HOPEFULLY THIS PUTS US RIGHT AT 6.

IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSE.

Narrator: ALL SEASON, TONY BEETS HAD SON KEVIN

RUNNING DREDGE ONE

AND DAUGHTER MONICA RUNNING HER WASH PLANT,

FIGHTING TO HIT HIS 3,000-OUNCE SEASON GOAL.

NOW, IT'S CRUNCH TIME --

THE FINAL GOLD WEIGH OF THE YEAR.

Minnie: WELL, I'M GLAD IT'S OVER.

WHAT PART DIDN'T YOU GET?

I...AM...GLAD...IT'S...OVER.

Monica: HELLO, HELLO.

GLAD TO SEE YOU.

THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

WHY?

BUT ISN'T THIS WHAT THEY CALL LIFE?

I AGREE.

WELL, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE NOT BARGES.

WE'RE GOLD MINERS.

AND I THINK WE DID PRETTY GOOD.

YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT WE GOT?

YOU WANT TO COUNT, TONY?

Monica: HOW MANY DO WE NEED TO REACH THE 3,000-OUNCE GOAL?

WE NEED 226 OUNCES.

150, 200.

3,000 OUNCES.

400.

436.8.

YEAH. A COUPLE OF BUCKS.

YOU LOOK TIRED.

ALL RIGHT. SO THAT WAS YOURS, KEVIN.

YEAH.

NOW ARE YOU GOING TO POUR MINE FOR ME?

I GUESS.

200, 280...

300,

400,

447.42.

BEAT YOU.

Narrator: MONICA'S HAUL IS WORTH $536,000.

3,659 OUNCES.

FIVE MONTHS OF MINING

HAS DELIVERED A RECORD SEASON TOTAL --

$4,390,000.

WHOO-HOO.

Minnie: I THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT TOO.

WHOO-HOO.

NO, .

Narrator: AT EUREKA CREEK,

MONICA HAS BIG NEWS TO BREAK TO THE FAMILY.

BLING, BLING.

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

WELL, THAT CAMPING TRIP I TOOK WITH BAE WORKED OUT.

CONGRATS. I'M HAPPY FOR YOU, SWEETHEART.

Kevin: CONGRATS. WHEN IS THE BIG DAY?

NEXT YEAR SOMETIME.

YOU GUYS CAN TAKE A DAY OFF, RIGHT?

WELL, IT'S MY LITTLE SISTER AND MY BEST FRIEND.

I'M PRETTY SURE I HAVE NO CHOICE.

I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.

VERY, VERY HAPPY. I AGREE.

AW. THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL RING.

HE DID WELL.

HE DESIGNED IT HIMSELF. YEAH.

WELL, HE TOOK A DIFFERENT RING, AND HE MADE IT FOR ME.

AW.

HE MADE THE DIAMOND BIGGER.

THAT'S THE ONE THING HE DID THAT'S REALLY SMART.

HE MADE THE ONE DIAMOND BIGGER.

Narrator: BACK IN MARCH,

TODD WAS CONVINCED THIS WOULD BE HIS BEST SEASON EVER.

I'M GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER RUN AT 5,000.

SERIOUSLY?

LET'S MAKE IT OFFICIAL, THEN.

WHAT ARE WE WAGERING?

A HUNDRED OUNCES?

THAT'S LIKE $100,000.

YEAH, SURE.

I'M HAPPY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY.

NOW AFTER A SEASON OF BREAKDOWNS,

LEGAL BATTLES, AND DISAPPOINTMENTS,

THE HOFFMAN CREW HAS BARELY TURNED A PROFIT.

THERE IT IS, GUYS.

OUR SEASON TOTAL SO FAR IS 1,540,

AND THAT'S NOT THAT GREAT.

Hunter: WHAT'D WE DO THIS WEEK?

51 OUNCES FROM RUSTY RED, 53.2 OUNCES FROM HOLY ROLLER.

NOT AS MUCH AS I WAS HOPING FOR, BUT IT'S 104 OUNCES.

SEASON TOTAL IS GOING TO BE 1,644.

THAT'S JUST UNDER $2,000,000.

WE SHOULD'VE BEEN SOMEWHERE AROUND 5 OR 6 MILLION.

Narrator: THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW

TODD HAS FAILED TO GET ANYWHERE NEAR HIS SEASON GOAL.

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOUR GUYS'S THOUGHTS ON THE SEASON?

YEAH, I'M NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW, I CAME UP HERE TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY,

AND THE THOUGHT OF ME NOT BEING ABLE

TO PROVIDE FOR THEM THIS SEASON IS JUST --

I CAN'T HAVE THAT.

Sutherland YOU KNOW, IS IT WORTH IT? DO WE KEEP GOING?

WE'RE NOT TAKING HOME THE GOLD THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE HOME.

MM-HMM.

YEAH.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT JUST FELT LIKE WE COULDN'T GET OUR FEET UNDER US.

I COULD GO HOME AND MAKE MORE MONEY THAN I'M MAKING RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE FROM ALMOST DAY ONE.

THANKS, EVERYBODY, FOR FIGHTING ALONG,

BUT I GUARANTEE ONE THING.

I'M NOT FIGHTING THAT BATTLE AGAIN.

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I MEAN, WE HAD OUR PROBLEMS AND ISSUES, AND I FEEL BAD.

I'M REALLY SORRY.

I LOVE YOU GUYS.

HAVE A SAFE TRIP HOME.

IT FEELS LIKE ANOTHER LOSS, AND IT'S HARD TO KEEP LOSING.

I'M NOT THE KIND OF GUY THAT LIKES TO LOSE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN KEEP DOING THIS.

IF THERE'S A NEXT YEAR, WE NEED TO GET CLOSER TO OUR GOAL

BECAUSE THIS YEAR WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE.

Freddy: I WON'T DO ANOTHER SEASON LIKE IT.

YOU KNOW, I MAY NOT DO ANOTHER SEASON ANYWAY.

TIME WILL TELL.

Parker: I BROUGHT YOU YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

-HI. -HOWDY.

-HOW YOU DOING? -GOOD.

HOW ARE YOU?

Parker: I'M ALL RIGHT.

Parker: AS YOU GUYS KNOW, WE CAME AT THE SEASON

WITH A PRETTY BIG FIGHT AHEAD OF US.

YOU KNOW, TWO REAL BIG GOALS,

AND ONE WAS TO FIND OUR OWN GROUND

AND GET AWAY FROM TONY, AND WE'RE GETTING THERE.

AND THE OTHER ONE IS TO BEAT

TODD HOFFMAN AND KICK HIS ASS, TAKE HIS 100 OUNCES

AND FIND 5,000 OUNCES OF GOLD.

AND THAT'S A TON OF GOLD TO FIND,

BUT WE NAILED THAT ONE, YOU KNOW?

THIS IN FRONT OF US, PLUS THIS...

...REPRESENTS 5,791 OUNCES.

-WHOO! -YEAH.

Narrator: PARKER SCHNABEL HAS ALREADY

SMASHED HIS ORIGINAL 5,000-OUNCE SEASON GOAL.

RICK PROMISED TO PRODUCE HALF OF THAT.

I SAID WE'D DO 2,500 OUNCES WITH BIG RED,

AND I'D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP MY WORD ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT YOU DID, RICK.

WHERE'S INDIAN RIVER AT RIGHT NOW?

RIGHT NOW, IT'S AT 2,398.

IT PUTS HIM AT 102 SHORT.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY CLOSE.

Man:I'M GOING TO SAY THERE'S AT LEAST 100 IN THERE.

Parker: WHERE WE AT, ASHLEY?

Ashley: 20, 40, 60...

Parker: OH.

...80...

OH

...82.15.

-YEAH. -NO. NO WAY.

OH, MY GOSH, RICK. YOU'RE AT 2,480 OUNCES, MAN.

2,480.

ON THE NOSE.

20 OUNCES SHORT, BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.

Narrator: RICK HAS MINED OVER 99% OF WHAT HE PLEDGED,

WORTH NEARLY $3,000,000.

I MEAN, SURROUNDED BY ALL THIS, I'M NOT GOING TO SHED A TEAR.

THERE YOU GO. WE'RE 20 OUNCES SHORT.

IT SUCKS. YEAH.

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE WE SMOKED THE HOFFMANS.

-YEAH.

Parker: SO ANYWAY, THIS...

THAT'S THE LAST OF SLUICIFER RIGHT THERE.

Narrator: PARKER RESET HIS GOAL FROM 5,000 TO 6,000 OUNCES,

AND TO HIT THAT, HE NEEDS JUST 127 OUNCES.

-THERE'S A LOT. -THERE'S A LOT MORE THAN THAT.

IT'S 406.

-WHOA. -WHOO.

ANYWAY, SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US FOR THE WHOLE SEASON?

WELL, FOR THE SEASON, OUR 5,000-OUNCE GOAL

TURNED OUT TO BE 6,280 OUNCES.

-WHOO! -WHOO-HOO!

TO A SWEET NUMBER OF $7.5 MILLION.

GOOD LORD, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

-YEAH. -WHOO!

Narrator: PARKER HAS WON HIS BET WITH TODD.

HE'S BEATEN HIM BY A COOL $5.5 MILLION.

-WHOO! -WHOO!

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST,

THE BEST CREW IN THE KLONDIKE.

Parker: I'M SURE GIVING ME 100 OUNCES OF GOLD

IS THE LAST THING TODD HOFFMAN WANTS TO DO RIGHT NOW.

HE SHOULDN'T DANCE WITH THE DEVIL, I GUESS.

I THINK I JUST CALLED MYSELF THE DEVIL.

Todd: I'VE HAD BETTER YEARS.

THE SEASON DIDN'T GO LIKE WE HAD HOPED.

I'M TIRED OF LOSING,

BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS RIGHT AND HONORABLE.

ANYBODY HOME?

I'LL BE DAMNED.

PARKER. HEY, TODD.

HOW'S IT GOING? HEY, MAN.

WELCOME TO COLORADO.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

WE'VE GOT SOME BUSINESS, HUH?

I WAS HOPING YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT.

LET'S GO.

HEY, DAD. Jack: YEAH?

GRAB THE GOLD AND THE SCALE.

OKAY. POUR 100 OUNCES,

WILL YOU? OKAY.

Narrator: A HUNDRED OUNCES IS 70% OF THE HOFFMANS' PROFIT

FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON.

Todd: YOU KNOW, ACCORDING TO THE MATH,

WE WERE GOING TO DO A HELL OF A LOT MORE GOLD

THAN WHAT WE DID.

THANK GOD I GOT ENOUGH TO PAY YOU.

WAY TO GO, GREAT SEASON.

YOU EARNED IT.

Jack: THAT'S MORE THAN I GOT MY FIRST SEASON

OF MINING BACK IN '86, YOU KNOW?

OH, YEAH? YEAH.

I HAD YOUR NAME ON IT.

IT'S ALL READY.

IT'S NOT EASY TO DO, HAND 100 OUNCES OUT,

BUT HERE YOU GO, PARKER.

WELL, THANKS FOR MAKING GOOD ON THE BET.

A DEAL IS A DEAL, I GUESS.

YEAH.

LET'S DO SOMETHING GOOD WITH IT, MAN.

WAY TO GO.

WELL, I'M GOING STRAIGHT TO VEGAS.

I'M GOING TO GO DOUBLE HER UP.

GO AHEAD. THROW IT ON BLACK.

IT'S YOURS.

WAY TO GO, MAN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.

HOPEFULLY, THINGS PICK UP FOR YOU.

BEST OF LUCK. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE CARE.

HAVE A GOOD WINTER.

GOT HER.

EASIEST 100 GRAND OF THE SEASON.

OH. THAT WAS PRETTY WEIRD,

AND IT DEFINITELY SEEMED TO GO WAY TOO EASY.

LIKE, I WONDER IF THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS.

IT SEEMS LIKE GOLD,

BUT WHO KNOWS?
