7
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:14,880
- [beeping]
- There's a hit.

8
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:16,382
I think we need to go
check it out.

9
00:00:17,685 --> 00:00:19,118
We've got two targets right now.

10
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,719
Here we go, here we go.
That's it, right there.

11
00:00:20,721 --> 00:00:22,087
Wow.

12
00:00:22,156 --> 00:00:24,023

- Wow.

15
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:28,794
So we need to be dead-on.

16
00:00:28,829 --> 00:00:32,097
There could be a cavity
underneath us here.

17

[Charlie] Could this
be a smelter?

18
00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:35,701
Yeah, they could have smelted
the gallium up here.

19

[Duane] <i>Mormon riches.</i>

38
00:01:20,347 --> 00:01:21,447

39
00:01:41,302 --> 00:01:42,501
- Hey.
- Hey.

40
00:01:43,104 --> 00:01:43,902
[Eric] How'd it go?

41
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:46,004
I thought pretty good. Yeah.

42
00:01:46,073 --> 00:01:47,873
We had some good readings
on the gravity meter.

43
00:01:47,875 --> 00:01:49,675
- Did you really?
- We started seeing some interesting ones,

44
00:01:49,677 --> 00:01:50,843
some highs, some lows.

45
00:01:50,845 --> 00:01:52,444
So, we'll go back
and take a look at 'em.

46
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:55,747
<i>So, my goal here is to use
these geophysical tests</i>

47
00:01:55,816 --> 00:01:59,418
to narrow in to an exact spot
where we can get into this cavern.

48
00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:01,620
<i>Well, the radiation drone</i>

49
00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:04,323
<i>gave us a general area
where we might find somethin</i>

50
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:07,626
<i>Then, the gravitometer
indicated several points</i>

51
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:10,062
<i>where we might be able
to get into this cave system</i>

52
00:02:10,064 --> 00:02:12,197
<i>But these readings
are still not accurate enoug</i>

53
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:14,967
<i>to pinpoint a drilling location.</i>

54
00:02:15,035 --> 00:02:15,934
I'm confident, though, that,

55
00:02:16,003 --> 00:02:17,336
you know, with a few more tests,

56
00:02:17,338 --> 00:02:20,105
we might be able to say,
"X marks the spot."

57
00:02:20,674 --> 00:02:21,940
[Chad] Good.

58
00:02:21,942 --> 00:02:25,177
You know, over on that ridge,
I think I found a smelter.

59
00:02:25,179 --> 00:02:27,446
It's got, like,
a firepit-looking thing.

60
00:02:27,448 --> 00:02:28,580
- I don't know what it is.
- Really?

61
00:02:28,582 --> 00:02:29,648
Yeah, yeah.
It looks old as hell.

62
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:30,949
[Eric] Is it made out of rocks?

63
00:02:30,951 --> 00:02:32,851
Yeah, yeah. There's black soot
all over the rocks,

64
00:02:32,853 --> 00:02:34,052
and all kinds of [bleep].

65
00:02:34,054 --> 00:02:35,888
I don't know if it's been
broken apart or what,

66
00:02:35,956 --> 00:02:36,955
but it looks like
a smelter, though.

67
00:02:36,957 --> 00:02:38,056
[Eric] Over in this area?

68
00:02:38,125 --> 00:02:39,558
Yeah, where me and Charlie
were looking.

69
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,558
I'd like to see that.

70
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,626
[Chad] You want to go
check it out?

71
00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:43,128
Yeah, let's go now.
We're losing our light here.

72
00:02:43,197 --> 00:02:44,362
All right. Yeah, yeah.
Follow me.

73
00:02:44,364 --> 00:02:46,331
- [Duane] I'll see you guys later.
- [Chad] All right!

74
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:09,121
Yeah, it's just right over
there on the cliffside.

75
00:03:09,123 --> 00:03:10,189
[Eric] Okay.

76
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:12,925
About how far?

77
00:03:12,927 --> 00:03:14,126
[Chad] I don't know,
half a mile.

78
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,127
Okay.

79
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:16,962
Awesome.

80
00:03:17,164 --> 00:03:18,997
- Lead the way.
- All right.

81
00:03:21,135 --> 00:03:22,901
Yeah, this is something
I didn't...

82
00:03:22,970 --> 00:03:25,604
I've never seen it out here
before, and it was just

83
00:03:25,606 --> 00:03:27,439
crazy. I saw it
from an airplane.

84
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:30,275
[over radio] <i>Just along</i>
<i>that ridge.</i>

85
00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:32,177
[Chad] <i>And what it looked li</i>
<i>to me was this hole,</i>

86
00:03:32,179 --> 00:03:33,678
<i>like a... like a cavern.</i>

87
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,280
- [Eric] <i>Uh-huh.</i>
- [Chad] <i>Like a dry entrance really.</i>

88
00:03:35,349 --> 00:03:38,217
- [Eric] Okay.
- [Chad] But, when we finally get over there,

89
00:03:38,285 --> 00:03:39,952
it looked like a fireplace.

90
00:03:39,954 --> 00:03:41,086
[Eric] Oh, nice.

91
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:46,291
[Chad] Yeah, right over here.

92
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,392
Look at this [bleep].

93
00:03:50,231 --> 00:03:51,029
Yeah, it's right here.

94
00:03:51,098 --> 00:03:52,431
- Look at that.
- Oh, yeah!

95
00:03:52,433 --> 00:03:54,766
[Chad] You can see the black.
It goes all the way up there.

96
00:03:54,768 --> 00:03:55,500
[Eric] Yeah.

97
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:57,969
Your first thought is,

98
00:03:58,038 --> 00:03:59,972
was this a little place
where somebody camped?

99
00:03:59,974 --> 00:04:02,674
But, it doesn't look like
a very good camp spot to me.

100
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:03,842
- It's not level...
- Right.

101
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:07,145
um, and so, the way
the rocks are formed, it could

102
00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:08,714
form sort of a, um,

103
00:04:08,782 --> 00:04:09,781
almost like a furnace.

104
00:04:09,783 --> 00:04:11,817
Obviously, you can see
the smoke stain there

105
00:04:11,819 --> 00:04:14,086
- Right.
- You can see the outline

106
00:04:14,121 --> 00:04:17,089
- of what may have been a kiln right here.
- Right.

107
00:04:17,091 --> 00:04:19,758
This looks like
it was patched with adobe,

108
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,027
and it was probably,
at one point,

109
00:04:22,029 --> 00:04:23,962
a lot more extensive than this.

110
00:04:23,964 --> 00:04:26,231
Like, deeper, or bigger,
or something like that?

111
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,800
It was probably built up.
You make a kiln sort of

112
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:30,636
- shaped like, almost like a beehive.
- Right.

113
00:04:30,671 --> 00:04:32,103
- And you give it the right venting.
- Yeah.

114
00:04:32,172 --> 00:04:35,307
- And so, you create, sort of, a blast furnace there.
- Gotcha.

115
00:04:36,744 --> 00:04:39,978
[Eric] <i>Smelters were used</i>
<i>in Utah in the 1870s,</i>

116
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:42,314
<i>for smelting gold, silver,
and zinc.</i>

117
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:43,982
<i>They were blast furnaces</i>

118
00:04:44,018 --> 00:04:47,886
<i>that looked like giant beehi
adobe structures.</i>

119
00:04:47,888 --> 00:04:51,323
Maybe this was a smaller
operation with smaller ovens.

120
00:04:51,358 --> 00:04:54,526
Or, maybe this site here
is considerably older.

121
00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:56,128
I just don't know.

122
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:57,763
[Chad] Well, do you think
that they could have

123
00:04:57,765 --> 00:05:00,032
smelted the gallium here?

124
00:05:00,034 --> 00:05:03,001
[Eric] Well, if this
is a smelter,

125
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:04,169
which I think it was
at one point,

126
00:05:04,171 --> 00:05:07,039
in these instances,
you want to smelt the material

127
00:05:07,107 --> 00:05:08,774
as close to the source
as possible.

128
00:05:08,842 --> 00:05:11,276
So the mine could be
super-close to here, right?

129
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,779
Yeah. I mean,
the mine entrance could be

130
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:16,114
- anywhere in here, or the cave entrance.
- Yep.

131
00:05:18,852 --> 00:05:21,987
In fact, the spot where
your dad and I

132
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:23,855
were using
the gravity meter today

133
00:05:23,924 --> 00:05:25,057
is just over that ridge.

134
00:05:25,059 --> 00:05:26,124
[Chad] <i>Right.</i>

135
00:05:26,126 --> 00:05:28,160
[Eric] <i>We had</i>
<i>some anomalies over there</i>

136
00:05:28,195 --> 00:05:29,561
<i>with the gravity meter, and so,</i>

137
00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:31,396
um, I think we're right...

138
00:05:31,398 --> 00:05:32,798
We're right
in the right zone, here.

139
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,967
- May be worth taking a look, right down here.
- Yeah, yeah.

140
00:05:35,969 --> 00:05:37,836
[Eric] <i>When you're processin</i>
<i>any kind of ore,</i>

141
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:39,938
<i>and in this case, smelting it,</i>

142
00:05:39,973 --> 00:05:42,174
<i>you want to have that smelte
located as close as possibl</i>

143
00:05:42,176 --> 00:05:44,042
<i>to the cave or mine entrance</i>

144
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:45,977
<i>for obvious reasons
of efficiency.</i>

145
00:05:45,979 --> 00:05:48,146
<i>There's just no reason
why you'd want to carry</i>

146
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:50,015
that material
any extra distance.

147
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:53,051
So, we might just be near
a mine or cave entrance,

148
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:54,553
where they were
pulling out material

149
00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:55,954
that they were smelting.

150
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:57,122
Normally, with cave entrances,

151
00:05:57,124 --> 00:05:59,558
or if there's something
valuable underground,

152
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,093
- you're not going to want to leave it open.
- Right.

153
00:06:01,095 --> 00:06:02,527
You're gonna want to hide it.

154
00:06:05,299 --> 00:06:09,034
Sometimes, they'll put wood,
like logs, over it,

155
00:06:09,036 --> 00:06:09,801
and then fill it with dirt.

156
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:11,136
Right.

157
00:06:11,138 --> 00:06:14,373
Uh, break some vegetation,
things like that.

158
00:06:17,945 --> 00:06:18,777
Oh, [bleep]!
Look at those!

159
00:06:18,779 --> 00:06:20,112
- Look at those bats!
- Ooh!

160
00:06:20,114 --> 00:06:21,947
- Those are bats?
- There's a whole flock of 'em, right there.

161
00:06:21,949 --> 00:06:23,515
- See those?
- Oh, my God. They're huge!

162
00:06:25,018 --> 00:06:26,952
There's so many of 'em!
Wow!

163
00:06:27,755 --> 00:06:31,056
Well, you know that bats,
where they live.

164
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:32,891
- They live in caves.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

165
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:33,925
So...

166
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,761
[Chad] We need to follow
those bats, huh?

167
00:06:35,763 --> 00:06:37,529
[Eric] We need to find out
where they're coming from.

168
00:06:37,531 --> 00:06:39,164
Let's go around the corner,
here.

169
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:41,266
[Chad] Yeah, yeah, see if there's
more coming out somewhere?

170
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,200
[Eric] Yeah.

171
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:51,376
Oh, yeah.

172
00:06:51,779 --> 00:06:53,211
- Chad?
- Huh?

173
00:06:53,213 --> 00:06:54,780
[Eric] Let's follow
this wash, here.

174
00:06:54,782 --> 00:06:56,882
Sometimes, faults will follow
these canyons.

175
00:06:56,884 --> 00:06:58,817
- These little canyons like this?
- Right.

176
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:02,521
And so, we're looking at a
possible weakness zone in the earth,

177
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:04,256
and maybe this is where
the cave is.

178
00:07:04,258 --> 00:07:05,524
- [Chad] Okay.
- Yeah.

179
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:07,092
Just follow it up.

180
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:16,134
[Chad] Look at that.

181
00:07:16,703 --> 00:07:18,270
[Eric] Oh, wow!

182
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:20,338
- Whew! We may be close here, Chad.
- [Chad] Look at that.

183
00:07:25,078 --> 00:07:26,445
[Eric] Is this
the general direction

184
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:27,913
you think those bats came from?

185
00:07:27,915 --> 00:07:29,281
[Chad] Yeah, it was
right in this area, for sure.

186
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:30,415
[Eric] All right.

187
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:33,218
[Chad] It's getting thick.
Man!

188
00:07:33,220 --> 00:07:34,286
[Eric] Up in here?

189
00:07:34,288 --> 00:07:35,320
[Chad] Through up here? Yeah.

190
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,258
Anything?

191
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:42,961
It's like getting hard to see
in there, it's so thick.

192
00:07:43,864 --> 00:07:45,030
Look at this.

193
00:07:46,333 --> 00:07:47,999
- This looks promising.
- Yeah.

194
00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:49,935
[Eric] Well, look
at these ledges.

195
00:07:50,003 --> 00:07:51,202
See that?

196
00:07:51,204 --> 00:07:52,904
- [Chad] Yeah.
- See how the water has just carved 'em?

197
00:07:52,973 --> 00:07:54,005
[Chad] Right.

198
00:07:54,007 --> 00:07:55,707
[Eric] You got, like,
potholes forming in here.

199
00:07:55,709 --> 00:07:56,875
[Chad] Right.

200
00:07:56,877 --> 00:07:58,944
You're saying a cave
could go in there?

201
00:07:59,012 --> 00:07:59,978
[Eric] Yeah.

202
00:08:04,785 --> 00:08:07,419
Anything in that crevice,
right in there?

203
00:08:07,421 --> 00:08:08,386
[Chad] Ah, not really.

204
00:08:10,791 --> 00:08:12,023
[Eric] Gotta be getting close.

205
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:14,359
[Chad] Holy [bleep]!

206
00:08:14,427 --> 00:08:15,460
Look at this!
Look at this!

207
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:18,563
[Eric] Ooh!

208
00:08:18,565 --> 00:08:20,198
[Chad] That's another one
right there, isn't it?

209
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,133
[Eric] This looks like
another smelter.

210
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:23,267
[Chad] Wow!

211
00:08:23,269 --> 00:08:24,836
[Eric] There's more
smoke stains on the rock.

212
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:27,072
- [Chad] Yeah, there is.
- [Eric] That's crazy.

213
00:08:29,243 --> 00:08:31,209
[Chad] No [bleep] way!
Look at this, Eric.

214
00:08:31,211 --> 00:08:33,044
We got another one, right here.

215
00:08:33,714 --> 00:08:35,113
[Eric] They're so close!

216
00:08:35,115 --> 00:08:38,016
[Chad] So if there's two
of these right by each other,

217
00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:40,285
- then this might have been a big operation, huh?
- [Eric] Yeah!

218
00:08:40,821 --> 00:08:42,654
There's nothing in there.

219
00:08:42,656 --> 00:08:44,256
[Chad] Holy [bleep]!
Here's another one!

220
00:08:44,258 --> 00:08:44,923
- Look at this!
- You got another one?

221
00:08:44,991 --> 00:08:46,525
[Chad] There's three!

222
00:08:46,527 --> 00:08:48,994
-[Eric] Oh, my God. This one's even bigger!
-[Chad] Three within 50 feet!

223
00:08:49,062 --> 00:08:51,530
- [Eric] The same form!
- [Chad] Yeah, this one's even bigger!

224
00:08:51,598 --> 00:08:53,832
- Wow, this is great, man!
- [Eric] This is crazy!

225
00:08:53,834 --> 00:08:56,568
-We have four smelters in
this little area, -Yeah, and...

226
00:08:56,636 --> 00:08:58,803
[Eric] ...bats that flew
out of a cave.

227
00:08:58,805 --> 00:09:01,006
The cave opening has gotta be
somewhere right in here.

228
00:09:01,008 --> 00:09:03,275
[Chad] Hell, yeah.
We are close.

229
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,147
[Eric] Let's continue
working our way down

230
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:11,416
[Chad] We gotta find that
tonight, man.

231
00:09:17,024 --> 00:09:19,190
Yeah, this could lead
to something, maybe.

232
00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:23,228
Yeah, that... That drops off
pretty good, right here.

233
00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:24,396
[Eric] Okay.

234
00:09:26,767 --> 00:09:27,999
- [bleep]!
- [Chad] You all right?

235
00:09:29,336 --> 00:09:30,936
[Eric] Damn. [bleep]!

236
00:09:30,971 --> 00:09:32,404
- [Chad] You okay, Eric?
- Yeah, yeah.

237
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,073
I don't know, Chad.

238
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:37,976
I can barely even see
at this point.

239
00:09:37,978 --> 00:09:39,945
[Chad] Damn! I would've
thought we'd found it by now.

240
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:41,313
[Eric] I know, I know, me too.

241
00:09:41,381 --> 00:09:42,714
Well, it's getting kind of late,

242
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:46,017
and I don't think we're
doing ourselves any favors by

243
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,986
hiking around
in the middle of a...

244
00:09:48,054 --> 00:09:48,853
Argh!

245
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,255
We're close, but yeah,

246
00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:52,657
we're about at
the furthest reaches of the...

247
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:54,125
of the ranch here.

248
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:56,094
[Chad] Yeah, there's no
cell service out here at all.

249
00:09:56,162 --> 00:09:58,930
- [Eric] No.
- [Chad] We gotta get back.

250
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:00,999
[Eric] I kind of lost
what direction we're going in.

251
00:10:01,168 --> 00:10:02,534
[Chad] Wow.

252
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:07,439
[Eric] Well, this is
kind of weird.

253
00:10:08,976 --> 00:10:11,009
[Chad] What is it?

254
00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:13,244
[Eric] I've never seen
my compass act like this.

255
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:15,046
What's it doing?

256
00:10:15,048 --> 00:10:16,381
[Eric] It's not acting right.

257
00:10:18,051 --> 00:10:19,217
Look at that.
It's flickering.

258
00:10:20,187 --> 00:10:22,787
That's weird.
What could cause that, huh?

259
00:10:22,856 --> 00:10:24,222
[Eric] Yeah.
It's the magnetics.

260
00:10:24,925 --> 00:10:27,058
If you're around
a big metallic object,

261
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:29,661
like a car, or a truck,
or something like that...

262
00:10:29,663 --> 00:10:31,229
- [Chad] Yeah.
- it will deflect the needle.

263
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,231
But I don't... I don't ever
see it, you know,

264
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:34,866
oscillating like that.

265
00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:36,267
[Chad] Right.
Right, right, right.

266
00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:40,071
[Eric] Something's causing
this to go crazy here.

267
00:10:40,707 --> 00:10:42,874
We know we have
metal in the area.

268
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:45,076
- [Chad] Yeah.
- There's evidence of smelting in here.

269
00:10:45,078 --> 00:10:47,746
- [Chad] Gotcha.
- And so, maybe it's picking up the metal

270
00:10:47,748 --> 00:10:49,814
that's in the cavern.

271
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,750
We're also not that far away
from the spot

272
00:10:51,752 --> 00:10:54,052
where Duane and I got a hit
on the gravity meter.

273
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,121
- Is there an anomaly here?
- [Chad] Right.

274
00:10:56,123 --> 00:10:58,323
[Eric] Is there something
large and metallic underground?

275
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:00,325
That's weird.

276
00:11:11,038 --> 00:11:12,704
[Charlie] You need
a little help, buddy?

277
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:14,673
[chuckling] Yeah!
Yeah, I sure do.

278
00:11:14,675 --> 00:11:16,441
Son of a bitch is kinda tall!

279
00:11:16,443 --> 00:11:18,009
<i>So, last night, Chad and Eric</i>

280
00:11:18,078 --> 00:11:20,412
<i>found a bunch of old smelter
way back on the property...</i>

281
00:11:20,414 --> 00:11:21,613
- Watch out!
- [chuckles]

282
00:11:21,615 --> 00:11:22,814
[Duane] <i>...which means</i>
<i>that there could be</i>

283
00:11:22,816 --> 00:11:25,316
<i>a mine shaft or an old caver
somewhere close.</i>

284
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,721
<i>Well, Eric used radiation
and a gravity test</i>

285
00:11:29,723 --> 00:11:32,290
<i>to find out where there
might be a cavern.</i>

286
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:33,858
He wants to do a few more tests

287
00:11:33,927 --> 00:11:36,194
to pinpoint the exact location.

288
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:38,129
<i>You know, when you get
to my age,</i>

289
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,000
patience is really not
a virtue, anymore.

290
00:11:44,905 --> 00:11:45,970
<i>The feeling in my gut's
telling me</i>

291
00:11:45,972 --> 00:11:47,505
<i>that Eric's
narrowed it down enough,</i>

292
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:51,109
<i>and I want to get
this show on the road.</i>

293
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:54,345
<i>So I pulled the trigger, and
brought in another rat hole rig.</i>

294
00:11:56,183 --> 00:11:57,782
<i>The spot we're looking to drill</i>

295
00:11:57,784 --> 00:12:00,218
<i>is a real remote spot
on the ranch.</i>

296
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:03,822
You know, we've never
had equipment like this

297
00:12:03,824 --> 00:12:05,156
out on this location.

298
00:12:06,993 --> 00:12:09,094
This is not gonna be easy,
but nothing's easy

299
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:10,261
when you're doing
what we're doing.

300
00:12:12,199 --> 00:12:13,932
[over radio] <i>Careful</i>
<i>going down that hill.</i>

301
00:12:13,934 --> 00:12:14,799
[operator] <i>All right.</i>

302
00:12:22,976 --> 00:12:24,576
[Duane] <i>Whoa, whoa!</i>
<i>Slow down.</i>

303
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:31,382
[Chad] God damn!

304
00:12:32,819 --> 00:12:33,985
<i>I mean, I get up this morning,</i>

305
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:35,153
<i>and my dad's got a freaking.</i>

306
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:37,922
<i>The rat hole rig,
rolling down the mountain.</i>

307
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:40,558
<i>I know my dad's been patien
my whole life,</i>

308
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,961
<i>but to be honest,
I think it's a waste of mone</i>

309
00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:44,829
<i>Me and Eric found the smelters</i>

310
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:46,564
where all the bats
and everything were,

311
00:12:46,566 --> 00:12:48,800
so I think we need
to go back over there,

312
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:51,202
and look for more of, like,
a natural entrance.

313
00:12:51,805 --> 00:12:53,972
<i>And I know Eric has more tes
he wants to run</i>

314
00:12:53,974 --> 00:12:56,141
<i>to pinpoint
the exact drilling spot.</i>

315
00:12:56,877 --> 00:12:58,243
We're all trying
to figure this out,

316
00:12:58,245 --> 00:13:01,045
and there's a lot of cooks
in the kitchen right now.

317
00:13:05,986 --> 00:13:08,186
[Eric] I just hope we can
get down to that cave.

318
00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:12,157
<i>Duane's hell-bent on gettin
into this cavern,</i>

319
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:15,226
<i>but, to be honest,
I think he's jumping the gun</i>

320
00:13:15,262 --> 00:13:16,694
<i>At this point,
I only have a rough idea</i>

321
00:13:16,730 --> 00:13:17,896
<i>of where this cave could be</i>

322
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:19,464
Yeah, I mean,
it's somewhere right in here,

323
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,099
but if we're off
just a few feet,

324
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,267
we're not gonna find it.

325
00:13:25,205 --> 00:13:27,138
[Chad] Here we go.
Here we go.

326
00:13:44,925 --> 00:13:46,057
[Duane] How're we looking?

327
00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:48,126
[Eric] So far, so good, Duane.

328
00:13:48,128 --> 00:13:49,527
We're chewing through it
pretty good.

329
00:13:50,363 --> 00:13:52,497
Yeah, it looks like it.
It sure does.

330
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:06,711
So, what are we at now?

331
00:14:06,713 --> 00:14:07,979
How deep?

332
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:19,324
[Eric] <i>I'm checking samples</i>
<i>as we drill,</i>

333
00:14:19,326 --> 00:14:21,526
<i>to test for calcite
and limestone.</i>

334
00:14:21,962 --> 00:14:23,928
This is hydrochloric.

335
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:27,098
<i>That's what we found when
we drilled on top of the box,</i>

336
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:29,100
so if we drill here
and find the same thing,

337
00:14:29,135 --> 00:14:30,869
hopefully, we find the cave.

338
00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:34,906
It's not reactive to acid,
so it's not calcareous.

339
00:14:34,908 --> 00:14:37,308
It's basically windblown sand,
is what it is.

340
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:39,043
- Oh it is?
- [Eric] Yeah.

341
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:40,979
So far, I'm not seeing
any of that stuff here.

342
00:14:41,982 --> 00:14:43,114
[Duane] [bleep]

343
00:14:52,859 --> 00:14:54,092
[Mike] I'm in.

344
00:14:56,897 --> 00:14:58,062
[Duane] How's it looking, boys?

345
00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:00,198
[Eric] Still nothing.

346
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:02,267
[Duane] How deep, Eric?

347
00:15:02,269 --> 00:15:04,068
[Eric] We're at about
80-something feet.

348
00:15:05,972 --> 00:15:07,571
We'll keep going, but, um,

349
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:10,975
this is the point where we'll have to
consider that we may have missed it.

350
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:13,011
[Duane] [bleep], fellas.

351
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:14,379
Okay. All right.

352
00:15:15,215 --> 00:15:16,281
I agree.

353
00:15:17,117 --> 00:15:19,083
[bleep] go wild, man.

354
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:22,353
Son of a bitch.

355
00:15:22,355 --> 00:15:25,823
[Eric] <i>We know from my analysis
that we're in the right general area.</i>

356
00:15:25,892 --> 00:15:27,525
<i>We may have missed
that cave by a few feet</i>

357
00:15:28,161 --> 00:15:29,460
<i>or a couple hundred feet.</i>

358
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:32,329
<i>I'm not sure at this point.</i>

359
00:15:33,934 --> 00:15:38,202
But I am confident that I can find the exact
spot with a few more geophysical tests.

360
00:15:40,573 --> 00:15:41,606
[Duane] Hey, Mike...

361
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:44,309
let's shut this deal
down tonight.

362
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:47,712
[Mike] All right.

363
00:15:47,714 --> 00:15:50,014
[Duane] <i>You know,</i>
<i>this is not an exact science</i>

364
00:15:50,083 --> 00:15:52,050
<i>I've pulled the trigger
on this a little early.</i>

365
00:15:52,052 --> 00:15:53,318
<i>And I lost.</i>

366
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,553
That might be my bad
on that deal.

367
00:15:55,555 --> 00:15:56,754
[Eric] Oh, that's okay.

368
00:15:57,924 --> 00:16:00,191
[Duane] <i>So, I'm gonna</i>
<i>let Eric do his thing.</i>

369
00:16:00,193 --> 00:16:01,926
And I trust he'll put
us right on the money.

370
00:16:01,962 --> 00:16:03,294
Good job, Ian.

371
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:04,696
- Good job.
- [Ian] Thank you.

372
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:06,064
[Chad] That's the thing
with my Dad,

373
00:16:06,099 --> 00:16:08,566
I mean, sometimes he just
kinda gets ahead of himself.

374
00:16:09,569 --> 00:16:11,502
This was an expensive mistake.

375
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:25,849
[Jamie] Where is this place?

376
00:16:27,921 --> 00:16:30,121
<i>The past couple of weeks
has been pretty wild here.</i>

377
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:32,323
<i>We've had trespassers,</i>

378
00:16:32,859 --> 00:16:33,958
<i>spy cams,</i>

379
00:16:33,994 --> 00:16:35,259
<i>helicopters,</i>

380
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:36,527
<i>and equipment ransacked.</i>

381
00:16:39,065 --> 00:16:40,932
This has got to be it.

382
00:16:40,934 --> 00:16:45,837
<i>So I came out to talk to this guy who I
heard use to work at Skinwalker Ranch</i>

383
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,772
<i>Which isn't very far
from Blind Frog.</i>

384
00:16:47,774 --> 00:16:48,806
[crickets chirping]

385
00:16:48,875 --> 00:16:50,008
[car door shutting]

386
00:16:50,877 --> 00:16:51,943
[knocks on door]

387
00:16:54,781 --> 00:16:55,980
[door opening]

388
00:16:55,982 --> 00:16:57,815
Hey, I'm Jamie,
I gave you a call.

389
00:16:57,817 --> 00:17:01,152
I didn't exactly tell him I
had a film crew following me.

390
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:05,089
But he agreed that, if I blurred
his face and hid his identity,

391
00:17:05,091 --> 00:17:06,257
<i>that he would talk.</i>

392
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,960
Thanks for meeting me.

393
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:12,563
[Man] So, what do
you wanna know?

394
00:17:12,565 --> 00:17:15,633
[Jamie] A contact of mine told me
that you worked at Skinwalker Ranch.

395
00:17:15,635 --> 00:17:17,969
[Man] For about 6 years.

396
00:17:17,971 --> 00:17:20,138
[Jamie] Have you ever heard
of Blind Frog Ranch?

397
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:22,239
[Man] I'm aware.

398
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:25,076
[Jamie] So, the thing is,
we've been having some issues.

399
00:17:25,078 --> 00:17:27,178
Seems like someone's
keeping tabs on the ranch.

400
00:17:28,848 --> 00:17:30,848
<i>We have choppers flying over</i>

401
00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:31,816
<i>Cameras.</i>

402
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:33,418
<i>Vandalism.</i>

403
00:17:33,420 --> 00:17:35,186
<i>Ever experienced
anything like that?</i>

404
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:37,088
[man chuckles]

405
00:17:37,123 --> 00:17:39,524
That's a kind of
a funny question.

406
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:42,260
We were being watched
the whole time.

407
00:17:43,096 --> 00:17:43,895
[Jamie] By who?

408
00:17:43,930 --> 00:17:45,530
[Man] No idea.

409
00:17:45,598 --> 00:17:47,899
See, I used to be, uh,
military intelligence.

410
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:51,035
Skinwalker brought me
in to look into

411
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:54,906
what they called the "Gravity
Anomaly" on the property.

412
00:17:54,974 --> 00:17:59,377
Specifically, how it affected
computers and machinery.

413
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:05,083
Then they, uh, started
having us go look at, uh...

414
00:18:05,151 --> 00:18:11,122
well, off-site. We were basically ordered
to sneak onto neighboring properties.

415
00:18:11,124 --> 00:18:15,526
Trespassing and, uh,
do some tests there.

416
00:18:16,096 --> 00:18:18,196
[Jamie] Did you
go to Blind Frog?

417
00:18:18,231 --> 00:18:20,865
[Man] Um, in 6 years,
I'm sure I did, yeah.

418
00:18:20,867 --> 00:18:23,768
I mean, we went a lot
of places and...

419
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:27,472
You know, what started happening
was then sometimes we'd go somewhere,

420
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:31,008
when I'd come back, someone
had broken into my trailer.

421
00:18:31,044 --> 00:18:34,912
Gone through my files, taken
stuff, just thrown [bleep] all around.

422
00:18:34,914 --> 00:18:38,116
And then the debriefs
started getting weirder.

423
00:18:38,184 --> 00:18:39,650
[Jamie] How so?

424
00:18:39,652 --> 00:18:43,054
[Man] Well, instead of asking me
about the actual tests I had done,

425
00:18:43,056 --> 00:18:43,921
or data I'd collected,

426
00:18:43,989 --> 00:18:47,892
they were asking about
my experience.

427
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:54,432
Physiological reactions, they were
taking my blood, doing EKGs, CAT scans.

428
00:18:55,335 --> 00:18:56,334
[Jamie] Wow.

429
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:58,736
Who are they?

430
00:18:58,738 --> 00:18:59,971
[Man] It wasn't
the owner of the ranch.

431
00:18:59,973 --> 00:19:03,274
It was some other
group responsible.

432
00:19:03,342 --> 00:19:07,545
But someone is very, very
interested in this area.

433
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:09,313
You know, probably
your ranch, too.

434
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:22,460
[Eric] <i>As Stefan</i>
<i>will do his survey,</i>

435
00:19:22,462 --> 00:19:25,930
- if he hits an anomaly, he'll see a big spike.
- [Chad] Yeah.

436
00:19:25,932 --> 00:19:30,201
[Eric] <i>We're using the aeria drone
with the radiation detector on it.</i>

437
00:19:30,203 --> 00:19:33,204
We were able to narrow our search
field from about a thousand acres

438
00:19:33,206 --> 00:19:34,572
to ten acres.

439
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:38,476
<i>We're using a gravitometer,
we went from about ten acre</i>

440
00:19:38,544 --> 00:19:42,113
<i>down to about the size
of a football field.</i>

441
00:19:42,115 --> 00:19:44,949
So, what we need to do now is
narrow the area down even farther.

442
00:19:44,951 --> 00:19:47,084
And, uh, the magnetometer's
gonna help us do that.

443
00:19:48,521 --> 00:19:50,121
<i>So, yeah, Stefan,</i>

444
00:19:50,123 --> 00:19:53,090
<i>we wanna scan this area in
about 50 meters in each direction.</i>

445
00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:55,660
See if you just get
any anomalies.

446
00:19:55,662 --> 00:19:58,196
I mean, we were, we were
working the bottom of the wash

447
00:19:58,198 --> 00:19:59,997
and so, maybe, kinda
focus on that.

448
00:19:59,999 --> 00:20:02,366
There's a couple different
arms right there and

449
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:03,601
- [Stefan] Okay.
- [Eric] See what we got.

450
00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:06,003
- [Stefan] I'll keep a tear on that.
- [Eric] Okay.

451
00:20:06,005 --> 00:20:10,041
<i>So, this easier magnetomete is
capable of detecting magnetic anomalies</i>

452
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:11,542
<i>under the surface of the ground.</i>

453
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:14,912
Which can be caught either
by a void in the ground.

454
00:20:14,981 --> 00:20:16,747
<i>Like a cave or a large
concentration of metal.</i>

455
00:20:16,749 --> 00:20:19,183
<i>Like a big old box full of gold.</i>

456
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:22,320
<i>But any hit we get means
we're right on top of whatever it is.</i>

457
00:20:23,289 --> 00:20:24,355
Pretty steady.

458
00:20:24,991 --> 00:20:26,123
That's pretty flat.

459
00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:30,127
Not much going on in there.

460
00:20:31,598 --> 00:20:33,297
[Stefan] What about,
what about this area?

461
00:20:33,299 --> 00:20:35,366
- [Stefan] Is there anything over here?
- [Eric] Uh, let's see.

462
00:20:35,434 --> 00:20:36,434
Steady.

463
00:20:36,936 --> 00:20:38,135
Pretty steady.

464
00:20:40,773 --> 00:20:42,105
[magnetometer squeal]

465
00:20:42,107 --> 00:20:43,908
- It's dropping. Dropping, dropping.
- [Chad] There he goes.

466
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:46,010
- [Eric] There's the spike. Stop.
- [Charlie] Woah, woah, woah.

467
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:47,845
- [Eric] Big drop.
- [Chad] Big drop. There it is.

468
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,347
- [Chad] Yep. Right there.
- [Eric] Big drop.

469
00:20:49,349 --> 00:20:53,017
-[Chad] Look at that.
-[Eric] See it? Still going down.

470
00:20:53,019 --> 00:20:56,053
[Stefan] Sometimes you have magnetic
lows where you have these drainage areas.

471
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:57,587
[Eric] Okay.

472
00:20:58,091 --> 00:21:00,024
[Stefan] I'm gonna move forward,
let's see which direction this is in.

473
00:21:00,026 --> 00:21:01,025
[Eric] Okay.

474
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:04,061
[magnetomer squeal]

475
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:05,062
[Eric] Drop.

476
00:21:05,832 --> 00:21:07,131
[Chad] It's staying down now.

477
00:21:07,834 --> 00:21:09,033
[Stefan] If I back up.

478
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:10,400
[Eric] It's coming up now.

479
00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:13,070
- [Eric] Coming up. Coming up.
- [Chad] Yeah, it's coming up.

480
00:21:13,072 --> 00:21:15,106
[Eric] Coming up. Now
it's back up to your baseline.

481
00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:16,207
[magnetometer squeal]

482
00:21:16,209 --> 00:21:18,542
[Eric] There we go.
We're here.

483
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:21,345
There's something right across
that creek bed, it looks like.

484
00:21:21,881 --> 00:21:24,715
[Stefan] The values
are changing.

485
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:27,918
From one moment to the next. They shouldn't
be changing from one moment to the next.

486
00:21:27,987 --> 00:21:30,021
- [Eric] No, no. They should be consistent.
- [Stefan] Not like this.

487
00:21:30,089 --> 00:21:31,055
[Eric] Yeah.

488
00:21:31,057 --> 00:21:32,923
So there's an anomaly there.

489
00:21:32,925 --> 00:21:34,992
[Stefan] Have me pinpoint
that exact low.

490
00:21:34,994 --> 00:21:36,460
- I'll put the sensor right over.
- [Eric] Okay.

491
00:21:37,230 --> 00:21:38,729
Drop. Drop. Drop.

492
00:21:38,731 --> 00:21:39,896
[magnetizer beeping]

493
00:21:39,899 --> 00:21:41,866
- Stop.
- [Chad] Right there's the bottom of it.

494
00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:43,768
- [Eric] Right there.
- [Chad] Right there.

495
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:45,202
- [Eric] Perfect.
- [Stefan] There you go.

496
00:21:45,905 --> 00:21:46,737
There's your anomaly.

497
00:21:46,739 --> 00:21:47,972
[Eric] Yeah.

498
00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:50,741
[Charlie] That anomaly,
would that indicate possibly

499
00:21:50,743 --> 00:21:52,843
a, uh, an opening there?
A cavern?

500
00:21:52,912 --> 00:21:54,745
[Stefan] You do have
a change in material

501
00:21:54,814 --> 00:21:58,015
and that can have an
influence on the magnetic field.

502
00:21:58,017 --> 00:21:59,517
[Eric] Well, we got
something there, boys.

503
00:22:00,987 --> 00:22:02,119
<i>This is exciting.</i>

504
00:22:02,121 --> 00:22:04,722
<i>We got a big hit
on that magnetometer.</i>

505
00:22:04,724 --> 00:22:06,891
<i>Now we know there's
something right below us.</i>

506
00:22:06,959 --> 00:22:09,360
The only thing that
magnetometer can't tell us

507
00:22:09,362 --> 00:22:12,830
<i>is exactly how deep below
surface that object is.</i>

508
00:22:12,832 --> 00:22:16,967
<i>If it's down there 250 feet or more,
we can't get down there with a drill.</i>

509
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:20,271
So, I've gotta do one more test
to find out what the exact depth is.

510
00:22:21,207 --> 00:22:22,206
<i>And if it's reachable...</i>

511
00:22:22,742 --> 00:22:24,207
we're in.

512
00:22:35,755 --> 00:22:37,955
[Chad] <i>So, a couple of night</i>
<i>ago, me and Eric were out he</i>

513
00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:39,457
<i>and found a couple
of old smelters</i>

514
00:22:39,459 --> 00:22:42,526
and a bunch of bats that flew
out of the hillside right over there.

515
00:22:43,930 --> 00:22:47,331
So there has to be some kind of
cave or mine, something around here.

516
00:22:49,902 --> 00:22:51,101
<i>I just have to find it.</i>

517
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:56,507
I mean, cause we saw the bats
right in that area.

518
00:22:57,777 --> 00:22:59,310
There could be something
up here, I don't know.

519
00:23:09,055 --> 00:23:10,321
There's something, you know?

520
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,758
Argh, no.

521
00:23:13,826 --> 00:23:17,828
I know that Eric has a lot of
scientific tests and all this stuff,

522
00:23:17,864 --> 00:23:21,966
but I know, I know for sure, boots on the
ground, us getting out here and looking,

523
00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:23,134
that's how we're gonna find it.

524
00:23:27,807 --> 00:23:28,672
[exhales]

525
00:23:28,674 --> 00:23:31,842
The sun's already
going down, man.

526
00:23:31,878 --> 00:23:34,945
I still got my light, though, so
I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep looking.

527
00:23:48,127 --> 00:23:51,262
These aren't optimal
conditions, obviously, but...

528
00:23:52,331 --> 00:23:54,331
we gotta find it
hopefully tonight.

529
00:24:02,308 --> 00:24:03,374
Argh.

530
00:24:05,845 --> 00:24:07,044
Ah...

531
00:24:14,921 --> 00:24:16,053
[exhales deeply]

532
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:20,391
What the [bleep].

533
00:24:21,093 --> 00:24:22,960
God damn.

534
00:24:29,335 --> 00:24:30,935
[Chad] Look at this [bleep].

535
00:24:32,405 --> 00:24:33,571
It's a [bleep] bat.

536
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:35,372
See that [bleep]?

537
00:24:37,210 --> 00:24:38,241
Hey, Eric.

538
00:24:39,712 --> 00:24:41,145
[Eric] <i>Yeah, Chad, what you got?</i>

539
00:24:42,348 --> 00:24:44,114
[Chad] Man, I found some
gnarly [bleep].

540
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:48,085
Get over here as fast as you can.
Where we did the magnetometer scan.

541
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:51,455
[Eric] <i>All right, man.</i>
<i>I'll be right over.</i>

542
00:24:51,457 --> 00:24:54,124
[Chad] Holy [bleep], man.

543
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:06,437
Hey, come check this out, man.
You are not gonna believe this.

544
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:13,177
Look at this.

545
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:16,146
[Eric] Ugh, that's gross.

546
00:25:17,183 --> 00:25:18,516
[Chad] Why does it
have those spots?

547
00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:20,518
[Eric] They look like lesions.

548
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,385
[Chad] Man.

549
00:25:24,757 --> 00:25:27,658
[Eric] It doesn't look like any
one thing just, like, killed it.

550
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:30,127
It looked like a disease
of some sort.

551
00:25:32,265 --> 00:25:35,866
I got an idea here. I'm gonna
grab something from my wheeler.

552
00:25:35,935 --> 00:25:37,067
- [Chad] Yeah.
- [Eric] Uh...

553
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:38,836
this is strange.

554
00:25:38,904 --> 00:25:39,837
[Chad] [bleep]

555
00:25:39,872 --> 00:25:41,171
[Eric] I'll be right back.

556
00:25:44,010 --> 00:25:45,309
[Chad] Damn.

557
00:25:48,781 --> 00:25:51,115
[Eric] I know this might
sound kinda weird, but...

558
00:25:53,619 --> 00:25:56,120
let's give this guy
a check for radioactivity.

559
00:25:58,024 --> 00:26:00,691
<i>Bats live in caves.
Plain and simple.</i>

560
00:26:00,693 --> 00:26:04,261
<i>So, seeing these weird
lesions on the bat...</i>

561
00:26:04,263 --> 00:26:07,965
I started wondering if the cave that
the bat came from had radiation in it.

562
00:26:08,367 --> 00:26:10,067
<i>Just like the cavern.</i>

563
00:26:14,206 --> 00:26:17,141
I'm not a veterinarian, but,
you know, it's worth a shot.

564
00:26:18,778 --> 00:26:21,412
[radiation monitor beeping]

565
00:26:23,349 --> 00:26:25,916
- [Chad] Is that it, it's going off right now?
- [Eric] It's going off, yeah.

566
00:26:25,985 --> 00:26:26,984
It could be radiation.

567
00:26:26,986 --> 00:26:28,953
- [Eric] Look, look, look.
- [Chad] No!

568
00:26:28,955 --> 00:26:31,388
- [Chad] That's what it is? Radiation?
- [Eric] Oh, man. Yeah.

569
00:26:31,390 --> 00:26:34,024
Yeah, I don't wanna even
touch the freaking thing.

570
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:35,826
[Chad] Gosh.

571
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:37,394
[radiation monitor beeping]

572
00:26:38,998 --> 00:26:41,332
[Eric] It's gross, but
it's good news, actually.

573
00:26:43,002 --> 00:26:44,902
It's good news.

574
00:26:44,904 --> 00:26:46,904
We've got another
little clue here.

575
00:26:46,906 --> 00:26:51,141
<i>This bat is definitely
emitting radiation.</i>

576
00:26:51,143 --> 00:26:54,044
So I'd say the odds are pretty good
that it was living in our dry cavern.

577
00:26:54,981 --> 00:26:56,313
[Chad] Damn.

578
00:26:57,350 --> 00:27:00,117
<i>This, to me, is proof
that there is some kind of</i>

579
00:27:00,185 --> 00:27:02,653
natural opening somewhere
right around here.

580
00:27:02,655 --> 00:27:05,022
We need a new plan.

581
00:27:05,024 --> 00:27:08,959
Going to find the dry
entrance. And find it fast.

582
00:27:12,131 --> 00:27:13,998
Lights are still on,
he's still awake.

583
00:27:15,001 --> 00:27:17,067
Hey! Hey! Dad.

584
00:27:19,171 --> 00:27:20,304
Hey.

585
00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:23,440
[Duane] Hey, what's going on?

586
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:25,075
[Eric] Hey, Duane.

587
00:27:25,077 --> 00:27:26,176
[Chad] Look at this.

588
00:27:26,646 --> 00:27:27,978
[Duane] The hell is that?

589
00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:31,582
[Chad] It's a bat. We found it
out there by those smelters.

590
00:27:31,584 --> 00:27:33,984
There's that canyon on the
south-east side of the ranch.

591
00:27:33,986 --> 00:27:35,519
[Duane] Really?

592
00:27:35,521 --> 00:27:37,988
[Chad] Yeah, we found that
under a bush. With those little, like...

593
00:27:38,891 --> 00:27:40,858
- sores.
- [Eric] It's got sores all over it.

594
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:42,459
[Duane] Look at that [bleep].

595
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:44,728
[Eric] The weirdest
thing is, um,

596
00:27:44,797 --> 00:27:48,198
we checked it with the Geiger counter
and we had radiation emitting from the bat.

597
00:27:48,801 --> 00:27:50,534
- [Duane] Really?
- [Eric] Yes.

598
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:52,169
- [Duane] Wow.
- [Eric] Those sores are indicative

599
00:27:52,171 --> 00:27:54,304
of a long-term exposure
to radiation.

600
00:27:54,874 --> 00:27:56,673
[Duane] Holy cow.

601
00:27:56,675 --> 00:28:01,078
[Eric] So, presumably it came from an entrance
to that cave where we found radiation.

602
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,580
[Duane] No [bleep].

603
00:28:03,582 --> 00:28:05,683
[Eric] That's, it's the
weirdest thing I've ever seen.

604
00:28:05,685 --> 00:28:07,851
[Duane] Let me get that map,
let's roll that out.

605
00:28:07,887 --> 00:28:10,254
Let's see what in the hell
you're talking about here.

606
00:28:10,256 --> 00:28:13,123
Damn, fellas, it's getting
kinda wild here.

607
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:18,028
Here, let's roll
this out, fellas.

608
00:28:18,097 --> 00:28:20,397
Let's see what we
got going on here.

609
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:26,437
[Eric] All right, so, the bat
was found approximately...

610
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,574
as I recall,
somewhere right in this area.

611
00:28:30,642 --> 00:28:32,409
[Chad] Yeah, I'd say
right in there up the curve.

612
00:28:32,445 --> 00:28:34,912
[Eric] So, this is the same
area, the general area that our

613
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:38,348
gravitometer, um, sort of
narrowed it down a little bit further.

614
00:28:38,350 --> 00:28:40,117
- [Duane] Wow.
- [Eric] Yeah.

615
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:43,253
[Duane] Wow, wow, wow.

616
00:28:43,255 --> 00:28:46,390
So, what do we, what are we thinking
on this deal, what you wanna do?

617
00:28:47,226 --> 00:28:50,227
[Chad] So, we know that came
out of a natural cave.

618
00:28:50,295 --> 00:28:53,897
If we just get some guys around
and we all search that whole area,

619
00:28:53,899 --> 00:28:55,899
we can find this entrance.

620
00:28:55,935 --> 00:28:57,668
Instead of just wasting
more and more days,

621
00:28:57,736 --> 00:29:00,170
we can do this, we can do
this tomorrow and have it done.

622
00:29:00,172 --> 00:29:02,272
[Eric] Wait a minute, wait,
wait, wait, what the [bleep].

623
00:29:03,676 --> 00:29:06,643
That bat, yeah, it may have
come out of a natural entrance,

624
00:29:06,645 --> 00:29:09,713
but bats fly. And so, you know,
where the hell is the entrance?

625
00:29:09,715 --> 00:29:12,850
[Chad] We saw that whole, the
whole flock of bats right there.

626
00:29:12,852 --> 00:29:15,252
[Eric] But we could spend days,
if not weeks doing that, Chad.

627
00:29:15,254 --> 00:29:16,520
I need one more day.

628
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:21,125
Look, this area right here

629
00:29:21,127 --> 00:29:24,161
is where we found the bat,
yeah, but it's also the place where

630
00:29:24,163 --> 00:29:28,532
that gravity meter survey
gave us an area of about that.

631
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,367
And then we did
the magnetometer survey,

632
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:32,569
it narrowed it down
right on a spot.

633
00:29:32,571 --> 00:29:33,971
Right there.

634
00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:36,073
[Duane] The only thing
I don't know now is the depth

635
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:38,809
and I need to know if
it's reachable with a drill.

636
00:29:38,811 --> 00:29:43,280
And that's what I'm hoping the
seismic refraction survey will give us.

637
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:46,550
I'm just sayin' if we get a bunch of
guys out there, no more money spent

638
00:29:46,552 --> 00:29:48,051
we just find it and that's it.

639
00:29:48,053 --> 00:29:50,687
I mean I wanna find it
just as much as you guys do,

640
00:29:50,756 --> 00:29:53,557
- but I mean I'm just trying to convince you.
- I just feel we're

641
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:55,793
spinnin' our wheels, we're just
wasting all this God damn time.

642
00:29:55,861 --> 00:29:57,294
One more survey.

643
00:29:57,296 --> 00:29:58,796
That's all we need,
one more survey.

644
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:01,064
One more day.

645
00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:03,567
-Just give me one more day with the
seismic refraction -[Duane] One more day.

646
00:30:04,737 --> 00:30:06,003
[Eric] And we're in.

647
00:30:06,705 --> 00:30:09,907
I mean, I always told you
this is a multi-step process,

648
00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:13,911
when you're using scientific
method, one day is all I need.

649
00:30:13,913 --> 00:30:16,146
I can do it in one day,
if you'll give me that.

650
00:30:17,583 --> 00:30:18,615
- One more day.
- Okay.

651
00:30:18,617 --> 00:30:20,551
[Duane] One more day,
let's do it.

652
00:30:20,553 --> 00:30:23,954
And then Chad, put your team
together by two days from now.

653
00:30:24,022 --> 00:30:26,423
Yeah, I'll start roundin'
people up just in case.

654
00:30:26,458 --> 00:30:28,225
Fair enough, fair enough.

655
00:30:28,227 --> 00:30:30,360
- We good?
- All right, yeah, yeah, let's do it.

656
00:30:30,429 --> 00:30:31,762
All right.

657
00:30:32,665 --> 00:30:36,834
So between finding the bats
there and the smelters around there

658
00:30:36,836 --> 00:30:39,670
it's like, I know we're
in the vicinity right there.

659
00:30:39,672 --> 00:30:41,638
And if we were to get a
few guys together we could,

660
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,974
we could round 'em up and
we could just search everything.

661
00:30:43,976 --> 00:30:47,010
Boots on the [bleep] ground,
we're [bleep] there.

662
00:30:47,012 --> 00:30:49,947
It's like what are we wasting
our time for

663
00:30:49,949 --> 00:30:52,182
with more science [bleep],
we can find it tomorrow.

664
00:30:52,251 --> 00:30:53,483
Appreciate it, fellows.

665
00:30:53,485 --> 00:30:54,784
Yup, thank you, Duane.

666
00:30:54,786 --> 00:30:57,754
Ultimately, my dad thought
we should just go one more test

667
00:30:57,756 --> 00:30:59,756
Eric said it's his last one

668
00:30:59,758 --> 00:31:03,794
and if it doesn't work, then we're
bringing people in and we're gonna find it.

669
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:08,031
I know you're enthusiastic about it but
that's all I need man is just one more day.

670
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:09,700
- The pressure's on me at this point, so.
- Yeah.

671
00:31:09,768 --> 00:31:11,468
All right, cool man.

672
00:31:11,470 --> 00:31:13,303
I guess I can see
the frustration of the guys

673
00:31:13,372 --> 00:31:15,205
putting up with
this scientific method.

674
00:31:15,207 --> 00:31:19,042
But, I know what I'm doing. I'm a professional
geologist, that's what they hired me for.

675
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:22,112
And so, if this
seismic refraction survey

676
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:24,848
show the cavern
is shallow enough,

677
00:31:24,850 --> 00:31:25,883
then we'll drill into it.

678
00:31:25,885 --> 00:31:27,317
If we don't,

679
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:29,519
I'm a hero, or zero.

680
00:31:36,929 --> 00:31:39,129
[Chad]
It's right in here, man.

681
00:31:40,099 --> 00:31:44,101
- Hey, this is Jamie's buddy, Dave Miller.
- How you doing, man?

682
00:31:44,136 --> 00:31:46,036
So, what do we got
going on here?

683
00:31:46,038 --> 00:31:50,040
Got stuff on this.
Show you what we got here.

684
00:31:52,311 --> 00:31:54,611
This is just down
of Bottle Hollow Reservoir.

685
00:31:54,613 --> 00:31:58,682
- Just right in between here and Skinwalker Ranch. Yep.
- Is that right?

686
00:31:58,684 --> 00:32:02,119
- Black helicopters.
- [Dave] Black helicopters.

687
00:32:02,121 --> 00:32:05,489
This happened right after
they'd show up out here.

688
00:32:05,491 --> 00:32:07,891
I'm telling you right now.
Here's on the map.

689
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,194
And they came, four of them came
right over the top where our project is

690
00:32:11,196 --> 00:32:13,764
and where Chad was taking care
of business down there.

691
00:32:13,832 --> 00:32:15,699
And all of a sudden,
they just showed up.

692
00:32:15,701 --> 00:32:18,502
Duane, there's no secret here
that you've caught the attention

693
00:32:18,570 --> 00:32:20,971
of some very powerful people
in this area.

694
00:32:21,006 --> 00:32:23,340
When they out those birds up
like that and they're flying over,

695
00:32:23,408 --> 00:32:26,810
that costs a lot of money. These guys
are going right over the top of your ranch

696
00:32:26,812 --> 00:32:29,179
for a reason.

697
00:32:29,181 --> 00:32:32,516
The more you guys are doing out
here, the more you're discovering,

698
00:32:32,584 --> 00:32:35,619
people are gonna look more and
more for what's going on out here.

699
00:32:35,621 --> 00:32:37,354
You think it's government, or...

700
00:32:37,356 --> 00:32:41,658
They're watching you.
I can, I can put money on it.

701
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:45,862
$22 million was funneled through
the base in here for research.

702
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:49,700
The advanced aerospace threat
identification program, AATIP,

703
00:32:49,702 --> 00:32:52,736
all this stuff started
right here in this valley.

704
00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:56,740
So, you're sitting right in
the crosshairs of all of it.

705
00:32:56,742 --> 00:32:59,209
You gotta really
watch your backs, guys.

706
00:32:59,945 --> 00:33:03,447
I maybe a little bit paranoid,
but it's for good reason.

707
00:33:03,449 --> 00:33:06,850
Because I've gone through
a lot of stuff in this valley.

708
00:33:06,918 --> 00:33:10,120
So, I'm just trying to heed the
warning to you, to both of you.

709
00:33:10,155 --> 00:33:12,189
Watch what you're doing.

710
00:33:25,104 --> 00:33:26,803
- So what do you think?
- So, Brett,

711
00:33:26,805 --> 00:33:30,741
this is the area right in here where we
think we may have an underground cavern.

712
00:33:30,743 --> 00:33:32,109
And so, my thinking is...

713
00:33:32,111 --> 00:33:34,945
we lay the line east to west,

714
00:33:35,013 --> 00:33:37,381
generally following
the axis of the wash.

715
00:33:37,383 --> 00:33:38,881
Okay, makes sense.

716
00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:42,819
This whole exploration process of
using different geo-physical tools,

717
00:33:42,821 --> 00:33:45,889
and exploration techniques to, you
know, you get all these little discoveries

718
00:33:45,891 --> 00:33:47,824
that may add up to a big one.

719
00:33:47,826 --> 00:33:50,594
We know we've got a great, big
opening that we're right on top of.

720
00:33:50,629 --> 00:33:53,764
We just don't know if it's
accessible because of its depth.

721
00:33:53,766 --> 00:33:56,867
Our final step is to bring in
a seismic survey.

722
00:33:56,902 --> 00:34:00,504
We kind of set in the middle
somewhere and then just play out the...

723
00:34:00,506 --> 00:34:02,572
- Okay. Okay.
- Cable from both sides.

724
00:34:02,574 --> 00:34:05,976
Let us know how we can help you.
Chad and Duane are here to help.

725
00:34:05,978 --> 00:34:08,278
- Let's do this deal. Awesome.
- We've got plenty of muscles here.

726
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,312
All right.

727
00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:11,581
[grunting]

728
00:34:11,583 --> 00:34:14,251
So, what we're gonna do is we're
gonna lay out a number of geo-foams.

729
00:34:14,253 --> 00:34:18,588
In a straight line, right in the area
where we have that magnetic anomaly.

730
00:34:18,657 --> 00:34:22,926
<i>We'll then set off a small charge
which will simulate seismic waves.</i>

731
00:34:22,928 --> 00:34:24,961
<i>-As these waves pass throug
the rock, -[waves</i> beeping]

732
00:34:24,963 --> 00:34:28,065
<i>the system will record
their speeds.</i>

733
00:34:28,133 --> 00:34:32,903
This data is then fed into a
seismic refraction software.

734
00:34:32,938 --> 00:34:37,007
It'll tell us exactly what's
down there and how deep.

735
00:34:38,277 --> 00:34:40,544
- Yeah, yeah.
- So these are the geo-foams that pick up--

736
00:34:40,612 --> 00:34:43,213
Oh, so these are the geo-foams.
That's correct. Good deal.

737
00:34:44,183 --> 00:34:47,517
- All right.
- [Duane] And this is where we'll set off the charge.

738
00:34:47,586 --> 00:34:50,520
- Yep. Now we can dig the hole.
- Okay.

739
00:34:50,556 --> 00:34:52,756
- Like, right here?
- That's the first foam, so...

740
00:34:52,758 --> 00:34:54,458
That'd be okay, yeah.

741
00:34:56,061 --> 00:34:58,261
- How deep do you need it?
- About two feet.

742
00:34:58,897 --> 00:34:59,996
[Duane] Okay.

743
00:35:01,066 --> 00:35:03,266
- Is that good?
- That's fine.

744
00:35:03,268 --> 00:35:05,302
So now, we gotta set
everything up.

745
00:35:08,707 --> 00:35:12,976
So whenever you set that charge
off, it's gonna give us a echo,

746
00:35:12,978 --> 00:35:16,113
- and give us a read out there.
- Yeah, it could show us exactly where it is.

747
00:35:16,181 --> 00:35:18,215
Yeah. Good deal.

748
00:35:18,217 --> 00:35:19,916
- Yeah.
- That's good stuff.

749
00:35:19,985 --> 00:35:21,785
[chuckles]

750
00:35:21,787 --> 00:35:23,887
You know, Chad got
pretty heated last night.

751
00:35:23,889 --> 00:35:27,257
And I understand his
impatience. Believe you me.

752
00:35:27,259 --> 00:35:31,461
But Eric says this is the last testing he needs
to do to find out if there's a dry cavern.

753
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:36,166
- Okay, so shell's ready to
launch. [chuckles] - All right,

754
00:35:36,168 --> 00:35:38,802
Good deal. Let's set off
this charge.

755
00:35:38,804 --> 00:35:40,737
- Yeah.
- Really, this is the good part.

756
00:35:40,739 --> 00:35:41,972
- Yeah!
- Yeah.

757
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,508
Okay, so now,
we got this bad boy.

758
00:35:45,077 --> 00:35:48,678
Glorified shotgun. Saw...

759
00:35:48,747 --> 00:35:51,114
What you do is put that
right in there.

760
00:35:51,984 --> 00:35:55,051
- Okay.
- And then, just screw it on.

761
00:35:56,822 --> 00:36:00,023
And then, just put her
down in. Bury it.

762
00:36:03,128 --> 00:36:06,663
- And then, let this one...
- And then, yeah, exactly. Exactly.

763
00:36:06,665 --> 00:36:09,332
- So, ready to go here.
- All right.

764
00:36:09,401 --> 00:36:12,002
- How hard do you want it?
- Doesn't take much.

765
00:36:14,606 --> 00:36:15,905
[both grunting]

766
00:36:15,907 --> 00:36:18,909
- Ow! That was a shocker, man.
- [chuckles] That was awesome.

767
00:36:18,911 --> 00:36:23,880
- [chuckling] It was. Oh, yeah.
- So, it's doing its thing, right?

768
00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:28,552
So after this test drive here, what are
we gonna have to do to get the data?

769
00:36:28,554 --> 00:36:31,521
You just take the data
and you run it through a...

770
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:33,523
It's called
a dispersion program,

771
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:35,057
where you see
how the energy moves out.

772
00:36:35,059 --> 00:36:39,229
And then, I take those data and put
them into a modelling program that

773
00:36:39,231 --> 00:36:42,599
takes that seismic energy and
determines what kind of layering

774
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:44,267
with depth you get.

775
00:36:44,269 --> 00:36:46,469
[Duane] So, what are we talking?
Maybe two hours or something like that?

776
00:36:46,538 --> 00:36:47,737
- Okay.
- Yeah, something like that.

777
00:36:47,739 --> 00:36:50,073
If you've got all you need
right here, let's wrap it up.

778
00:36:50,075 --> 00:36:51,708
- All right.
- We can do it at the cabin.

779
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:53,410
- Okay.
- We might have an answer here.

780
00:36:53,412 --> 00:36:55,478
-Let's do it. This is good stuff.
-Good. Good, good.

781
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:57,013
All right.

782
00:37:06,291 --> 00:37:08,792
[Duane] <i>Did the field work.</i>
<i>Brett did the seismic survey</i>

783
00:37:08,794 --> 00:37:11,194
<i>and so, he's working up
the data now.</i>

784
00:37:11,196 --> 00:37:15,599
And uh, crossing my fingers, man. I
hope he gets some good information.

785
00:37:15,601 --> 00:37:17,734
- What do we got here?
- Well...

786
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:20,804
Not to get too into the weeds
here, but, this is called a dispersion.

787
00:37:20,839 --> 00:37:23,206
This whole method measures
this...

788
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:27,110
energy that goes along the
ground, this way, the surface ways.

789
00:37:27,112 --> 00:37:31,014
Which only works through solids.

790
00:37:31,016 --> 00:37:33,750
If you get into air,
it usually doesn't work.

791
00:37:33,752 --> 00:37:37,320
So, the density change
is great from here to here.

792
00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:41,258
And so, this is probably
the upper stuff that, uh,

793
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:43,693
you were digging a hole into,
and...

794
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:44,861
But then, at eight feet,

795
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:48,798
these velocities,
maybe 1105 per second,

796
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,335
if that is the pressure wave velocity,
that's right on the money with air.

797
00:37:52,337 --> 00:37:54,804
- Oh, really?
- You're saying air?

798
00:37:54,873 --> 00:37:56,506
As in air in a cave.

799
00:37:57,409 --> 00:38:01,044
[Duane] That's what
we wanna hear, you know?

800
00:38:01,046 --> 00:38:04,814
So what you're telling me right now is
you think we have a target or a void?

801
00:38:04,816 --> 00:38:06,850
- Could be, yes.
- Okay.

802
00:38:06,885 --> 00:38:11,321
And we can mark that spot where
we can drop down and not miss it by?

803
00:38:11,389 --> 00:38:15,191
I wouldn't think you'd miss it if
these caves are of any size at all.

804
00:38:15,193 --> 00:38:17,527
- That's good news.
- That's awesome.

805
00:38:17,562 --> 00:38:19,929
-[Chad] Right, boys. We did it.
-That's really good news.

806
00:38:19,931 --> 00:38:21,731
So, let's...
That's what it shows.

807
00:38:21,733 --> 00:38:24,100
- And we're right on top of it?
- Well, if it's...

808
00:38:24,102 --> 00:38:27,203
According to that line, if that's
what we're seeing, we're on top of it.

809
00:38:28,807 --> 00:38:30,273
[Duane] <i>We got our dry cap.</i>

810
00:38:30,842 --> 00:38:32,676
<i>We have the exact spot.</i>

811
00:38:32,744 --> 00:38:35,578
It took a bunch of tests
to get to this point.

812
00:38:35,580 --> 00:38:39,215
But the seismic, the last test we did,
showed that we have a big ol' entrance

813
00:38:39,217 --> 00:38:42,018
to a cave at about
80 foot below surface.

814
00:38:43,188 --> 00:38:45,989
So we know exactly where
to drill now.

815
00:38:45,991 --> 00:38:48,191
That, that's perfect.
This is good.

816
00:38:48,694 --> 00:38:49,793
Hell, yeah.

817
00:38:49,795 --> 00:38:52,796
This is, I think the best news
we've had so far.

818
00:38:52,798 --> 00:38:55,231
- This technique is valid, and...
- It's pretty big, yeah.

819
00:38:55,233 --> 00:38:58,068
[Duane] We were not just spinning
our wheels here. We know exactly

820
00:38:58,070 --> 00:39:00,136
where to put that rig
and punch in.

821
00:39:00,205 --> 00:39:02,672
Hopefully, into that void.

822
00:39:02,741 --> 00:39:06,576
[Chad] <i>Well, Eric was right
Patience can actually be a good thing.</i>

823
00:39:06,578 --> 00:39:09,245
When we looked at the results
that Brett showed us in the cavern,

824
00:39:09,314 --> 00:39:12,816
and it looks like there is
a void under there.

825
00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:14,551
So, we're all excited.

826
00:39:14,553 --> 00:39:17,354
We're gonna bring in the
rat hole rig, and we're gonna

827
00:39:17,389 --> 00:39:19,055
drill a hole and get in there.

828
00:39:19,758 --> 00:39:21,458
- Yeah, this is good stuff.
- Thank you, Brett.

829
00:39:21,493 --> 00:39:23,393
- That'll be fun. No problem.
- Good deal.

830
00:39:23,562 --> 00:39:25,361
[Charlie] <i>This is it.</i>

831
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:29,766
After all that searching and testing, we
finally found the new way into the cavern.

832
00:39:29,768 --> 00:39:32,102
We're so close, I can taste it.

833
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:35,872
But, out here on this ranch, that's
when things seem to fall apart.

834
00:39:35,874 --> 00:39:38,475
So I'm not about to start
celebrating yet.

835
00:39:38,477 --> 00:39:41,511
You know, we got a lot of work
to do before this deal's done.

836

[narrator] <i>On the final two episodes
of</i> Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch...

837

[Chad] <i>We are right on top o</i>
<i>cavern, right there.</i>

838
00:39:56,695 --> 00:39:58,194
It's time to start
drilling, baby.

839
00:39:59,231 --> 00:40:01,431
- [Duane] Whoa!
- [Chad chuckles]

840
00:40:02,868 --> 00:40:05,368
- [Chad] Holy [bleep], man.
- It's dry!

841
00:40:06,304 --> 00:40:08,805
[Chad] Oh, this is gonna
change everything.

842
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:11,007
[Dave] Hey, guys, you're gonna
wanna see this.

843
00:40:11,075 --> 00:40:13,343
There's three cars all around.

844
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:14,811
[Charlie] They're up to
something.

845
00:40:14,813 --> 00:40:16,746
[Dave] Let's go.

846
00:40:16,815 --> 00:40:19,549
Whoever's been watching us
is getting more aggressive.

847
00:40:19,551 --> 00:40:22,285
Seems like they just keep on
coming at us.

848
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:24,387
[Chad] But we have
to move forward.

849
00:40:26,992 --> 00:40:28,792
- Good job today, guys.
- All right.

850
00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:31,261
I'm real excited about getting
into this cavern, but,

851
00:40:31,263 --> 00:40:33,163
we detected radiation
in the bottom.

852
00:40:33,165 --> 00:40:35,198
- [device whirring]
- Oh, boy...

853
00:40:35,233 --> 00:40:37,333
And so we're gonna need
to suit up.

854
00:40:40,305 --> 00:40:44,040
Going down the hole. It's the
closest thing to a suicide mission.

855
00:40:44,042 --> 00:40:46,242
[machine creaking]

856
00:40:47,145 --> 00:40:49,312
- Going down!

You're blinking red!
