WE HAVE TO FIND
A BETTER SPOT TO DIG.

AND ARE WE GOING TO FIND
SOMETHING UP HERE?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
WHEN I FIND IT.

Narrator: HIGH IN ALASKA'S
CHILKAT MOUNTAINS,

DUSTIN HURT IS PROSPECTING FOR
A NEW DIVE SITE TO MINE GOLD.

I'M-A GET GOLD THIS YEAR.
I GOT TOO MUCH INTO THIS.

GO, MAN.
I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU, BROTHER.

IN THESE MOUNTAINS,
THERE ARE BARELY FOUR MONTHS

WHERE IT'S POSSIBLE TO DIVE
IN THE RAGING CREEKS.

SO MUCH
FRICKING BUSH, MAN.

WE HAVE TO HACK
OUR WAY THROUGH.

DUSTIN AND HIS MOST EXPERIENCED
DIVER, CARLOS MINOR,

HAVE TREKKED
FOR FOUR HOURS UP THE MOUNTAIN.

BRO, HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND
SOMETHING UP HERE

HIGHER UP,
CLOSER TO THE SOURCE.

THE GOLD'S GOING
TO GET BIGGER.

FROM ALL THE HISTORY,
THE SOURCE IS UP HERE SOMEWHERE.

OVER THE LAST 100 YEARS,

$120 MILLION OF GOLD

HAS BEEN FOUND IN THESE CREEKS.

DUSTIN'S HEADING TOWARDS
THE SOURCE OF THE GOLD.

SOMEWHERE IN THE UPPER REACHES
OF CAHOON CREEK

IS THE MOTHER LODE.

NUGGETS AND FINE GOLD
HAVE BEEN CARRIED DOWN THE CREEK

AND SETTLED IN BENDS
AND PLUNGE POOLS

BENEATH THE WATERFALLS.

IF DUSTIN LOCATES
AN UNDISCOVERED DEPOSIT,

IT COULD BE WORTH MILLIONS.

LOOK AT THIS.

HA!

I'D LIKE TO SEE
WHAT'S DOWN THERE.

HELL YEAH!

Dustin:
PERFECT LITTLE WATERFALL,

CLOSE TO THE SOURCE.

IT LOOKS LIKE
A VERTICAL DROP,

WHICH IS WHAT YOU WANT
IN A PLUNGE POOL.

I'M THINKING THAT THE BOTTOM
OF THIS WATERFALL

IS A NATURAL GOLD CATCH.

THIS LOOKS GOOD.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S
MINED HERE.

DO YOU FEEL IT?

I FEEL IT, BROTHER.

I HAD ALL WINTER
GOING BROKE.

NOW I HAVE TO MAKE
SOME GOD DANG MONEY, MAN.

IS THIS IT RIGHT HERE?

IS THIS THE SPOT
THAT'S GOING TO MAKE ME RICH?

IS THIS THE END
OF THE RAINBOW?

RAINBOW'S END?

YEAH, BROTHER.
THAT'S FRICKING AWESOME,

RAINBOW'S END.

I THINK
THERE'S GOLD UP HERE,

SO LET'S DIG DOWN 5 OR 6 FEET,
TEST IT OUT.

IF THERE'S ANY GOLD,
WE'LL KEEP GOING.

DEFINITELY.
LET'S GET THE DREDGES IN HERE,

AND LET'S GET TO WORK.

Narrator: ON THIS
"GOLD RUSH: WHITE WATER"...

DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE I'M STUPID.

WHAT IS RESPECT?

I DON'T LIKE THAT,
SO DON'T DO THAT.

Dustin:
WORKING WITHOUT FRED,

THERE'S NOBODY AROUND
TO TELL ME WHERE TO DIG.

FRED'S NOT HERE TO GO,

"I'M TELLING YOU, DUSTIN,
THAT'S WHERE THE GOLD'S AT."

MY BIGGEST FEAR IS DROWNING

IN A POUND ZONE.

I SEE MY FIRST PIECE OF GOLD.

NICE, LITTLE, CHUNKY PIECE
RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.

MOTHER NATURE LEFT US A GOOD
TREASURE OUT HERE SOMEWHERE.

DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

DUSTIN, YOU READY
FOR THAT DREDGE?

YEAH, FRED.

Narrator: THE DAKOTA BOYS,
FRED AND DUSTIN,

ARE WORKING TWO CLAIMS THIS YEAR

TO DOUBLE THEIR EFFORTS
OF HITTING A BIG PAYDAY.

GOT IT.

DOWN AT PORCUPINE,

FRED TAKES TIME
AWAY FROM HIS CLAIM

TO HELP HELI-SLING
DUSTIN'S DREDGES

TO RAINBOW'S END.

DUSTIN, YOU GOT YOUR
BIG DREDGE COMING TO YOU.

THANK YOU.
I'M READY FOR A CATCH.

PILOT JACK FLIES 4 1/2 MILES

UP PORCUPINE, McKINLEY,

AND FINALLY CAHOON CREEK

TO DUSTIN'S REMOTE TEST SITE,
RAINBOW'S END.

Carlos:
FIRST MONEYMAKER'S COMING IN.

HERE WE GO.

GOT IT.

WHOO-HOO!

YEAH!

I'M FEELING IT NOW, DUDE.

NO, SERIOUSLY.
DREDGE BACK IN.

I'M STARTING
TO GET HUNGRY, BRO.

FIND SOME GOLD!

MY HOUSE IS FINALLY DONE.

OF COURSE,
THIS IS NOT BEAR-PROOF.

I SUPPOSE A NO-BEARS-ALLOWED
SIGN WILL DO.

Fred:
THESE ARE THE WALLS OF OUR TENT.

IT'S ACTUALLY A DOG KENNEL.

VERY PROTECTIVE AGAINST BEARS.

Narrator:
HIGH UP IN BEAR COUNTRY,

FRED AND DUSTIN'S CREWS
SHARE A MOUNTAIN CAMP

TO CUT OUT
THE 2-HOUR ROUND TRIP

TO AND FROM
THEIR McKINLEY BASE CAMP.

Fred: DUSTIN AND I ARE --

WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO BE
MINING TOGETHER,

BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE
CAMPING TOGETHER.

SEEM TO BE A LITTLE BIT
MORE CIVILIZED

THAT DIRECTION, ANYWAY.

Dustin: SO, THE SITE UP HERE
IS TWICE AS FAR AWAY

AS PRETTY MUCH
ANYWHERE WE'VE BEEN,

SO IT TAKES A REALLY LONG TIME
TO GET UP HERE AND BACK,

WHICH TAKES AWAY
ALL OF OUR MINING DAY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CAMP UP HERE.
IT'LL BE CLOSER,

AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET MORE
DONE THIS SEASON.

DAMN SURE NEED THE GOLD.

Narrator:
FRED'S DIVE SITE, TWO FISH,

IS 1/4 MILE DOWNSTREAM
FROM DUSTIN'S.

TO ADD TO HIS CREW
OF STEPDAUGHTER KAYLA

AND HER FIANCé, PAUL,

FRED'S DRAFTED
A NEW CREW MEMBER, RYAN CARDOZA.

WELCOME TO TWO FISH.WOW, MAN.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.
BEAUTIFUL.

NOT BAD.

I'M A GOLD MINER
FROM WILLOW, ALASKA,

AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN
DREDGING FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS.

I BRING A LOT TO THE TABLE.

Fred: PAUL, KAYLA,
I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET RYAN.

-HOW'S IT GOING, RYAN?
-GOOD, MAN. HOW YOU DOING?

-HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.
-KAYLA, NICE TO MEET YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
HAVE YOU EVER DOVE BEFORE?

I'M A DREDGER, MAN.
I DREDGE ALL THE TIME.

SO, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S MY FULL-TIME WORK.

WHAT KIND OF WATER HAVE
YOU BEEN DREDGING IN?

WE DON'T DO DEEP-WATER DIVING,
YOU KNOW, 4 OR 5 FEET.

THE WATER OUT THERE IS ABOUT
3 OR 4 FEET DEEP ALREADY,

AND AIN'T NO BEDROCK
IN SIGHT.

ONE MORE HAND'S DEFINITELY
GOING TO HELP,

'CAUSE THE THREE OF US
HAVE BEEN RUN RAGGED.

IT'S BEATING US UP BAD.

Ryan: OKAY, I CAME A LONG WAYS
TO WORK HARD, SO...

-WELL --
-I'M NOT SCARED OF ANY WORK.

Fred: ALRIGHT.
WELL, WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT.

WELCOME TO THE CREW.

THANK YOU, FRED.
APPRECIATE IT.

-WELCOME ABOARD, MAN.
-ALRIGHT.

GLAD TO BE HERE TO HELP.

GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE.THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT.
LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.

ALRIGHT.

Narrator:
RYAN DREDGED IN OREGON

BEFORE HE CAME TO ALASKA
THREE YEARS AGO

HOPING TO STRIKE IT RICH.

FIRST DAY ON THE JOB,
I'M FEELING REAL GOOD.

YOU KNOW, I CAME OUT HERE
TO GET DIRTY, WORK HARD,

AND FIND A BUNCH OF GOLD.

WELL, OPERATION, BASICALLY

WE JUST GOING TO MINE THIS THING
COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY

AND JUST START
CLEANING THIS AREA UP

AS DEEP AS WE CAN DREDGE
UNTIL WE FIND BEDROCK.

BUT THEN WE'RE GOING
TO JUST KIND OF KEEP MOVING

UP TOWARD
THAT WATERFALL UP THERE.

-YEP.
-LET'S START FINDING SOME GOLD.

YOU KNOW, I GOT A REAL GOOD
FEELING ABOUT THIS SPOT.

Kayla: YEAH.

Narrator:
FRED FOUND A SMALL AMOUNT
OF GOLD ON THEIR FIRST DIVE,

AND NOW PAUL IS GOING
TO DREDGE DEEPER

IN THE HOPE OF HITTING IT BIG.

Paul: THIS IS MY FIRST DIVE
OF THE SEASON.

I'M A LITTLE EXCITED.
I LIKE THIS SPOT.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT'S DOWN THERE.

THE AMOUNT OF GOLD
COULD BE UNLIMITED.

IF WE CAN GET DOWN
TO THE BOTTOM,

I THINK WE GOT A CHANCE
OF BEATING DUSTIN AND HIS CREW.

CAN Y'ALL HERE ME
GOOD AND CLEAR?

Fred:
YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE.

COPY THAT.

GIVE IT HELL.

OH, YEAH.
FEELS GOOD TO BE IN THE WATER.

HOW YOU DOING
DOWN THERE, PAUL?

NOT BAD.

Narrator: FRED TAKES COMMS.

RYAN HANDLES
PAUL'S SAFETY LINES,

AND KAYLA TENDS THE DREDGE.

Paul:
I FEEL LIKE I'M BACK AT HOME.

IF WE AIN'T DREDGING,
WE AIN'T FINDING NO GOLD.

THAT'S TRUE.

Narrator:
PAUL USES THE INTAKE HOSE

TO SUCK MATERIAL
FROM THE CREEK BED.

THIS GRAVEL GOES TO THE DREDGE,

A LIGHTWEIGHT
FLOATING WASH PLANT.

ANY GOLD IS CAUGHT IN
THE RIFFLES IN THE SLUICE BOX.

WELL, IT'S GOOD TO GET BACK --
GET INTO THE WATER

AND GET OUR DREDGING GOING.

WE'RE JUST TEARING UP
SOME REAL ESTATE RIGHT NOW.

NO GOLD YET?

Paul:
NO, NOT THAT I'VE SEEN,

BUT THAT DOESN'T
MEAN ANYTHING, EITHER.

I KNOW HE'S EXPERIENCED,
AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

BUT, YEAH, I DEFINITELY
CAN'T HELP BUT WORRY,

SOMEONE I LOVE GOING UNDER
AND DOING SOMETHING DANGEROUS.

THAT HOLE IS GETTING
PRETTY DEEP OVER HERE.

YEP.

LOTS OF BOULDERS DOWN HERE.

THEY'RE JUST TOO BIG
TO GO THROUGH THE NOZZLE.

I CAN'T REALLY DREDGE ANYMORE

UNTIL WE GET
SOME OF THESE ROCKS OUT.

YEAH.

I THINK I'M GOING
TO HAVE TO CALL IT,

'CAUSE I'VE GOT
NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD
AND TERMINATE THE DAY.

ALRIGHT. I'M GOING OVER HERE
AND SIT DOWN.

Narrator: THE MASSIVE ROCKS
ARE A BIG SETBACK

ON THE WAY DOWN TO THE GOLD
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CREEK BED.

-YEAH.
-SO MANY ROCKS.

I KEPT MOVING THE SAME ROCK
OVER AND OVER AGAIN

JUST TO GET THE MATERIAL.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO HAVE A GOOD SYSTEM

FOR US TO MOVE THESE ROCKS OUT.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN DREDGE
AGAIN UNTIL WE GET THAT.

NO DREDGING, NO GOLD.

Narrator: UP AHEAD...HEY, WE'RE DIVING!

...DUSTIN'S NEW SITE DEMANDS
A HIGH PRICE FOR ITS GOLD.

Carlos: IT'S A PINBALL MACHINE
DOWN HERE, MAN.

THIS IS AWESOME.

YOU AIN'T SEEN
NOTHING YET.

Narrator:
NEARLY TWO WEEKS INTO THE SEASON

AND ALREADY BEHIND SCHEDULE,

DUSTIN DECIDES TO BRING IN
SOME EXTRA HELP.

Dustin:
THIS IS RAINBOW'S END.

WELCOME TO THE DIG SITE.

HEY, FELLAS!

CARLOS, THIS IS JAMES.

-HOW YOU DOING, JAMES?
-HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

HOW YOU DOING, BROTHER?

Narrator: NEW HAND JAMES COMES
THROUGH A FRIEND OF A FRIEND

AT SHORT NOTICE.

TO DUSTIN AND THE CREW,
HE'S UNKNOWN AND UNTESTED.

James: I'VE BEEN INTO
GOLD MINING SINCE I WAS A KID.

WHEN I 13, I BUILT
MY FIRST SLUICE BOX.

THIS MIGHT BE WAY MORE
THAN I BARGAINED FOR,

BUT THAT'S WHAT I LOVE,
YOU KNOW?

WHERE YOU FROM,
THOUGH, MAN?

WASHINGTON.

Dustin: HE'S A DREDGER.

OH, YOU'RE A DREDGER?

WHAT KIND OF DREDGING
YOU'VE DONE, THOUGH?

RIVER, CREEK, AND OCEAN.

THE OCEAN?BERING SEA.

SO THIS IS NOTHING
FOR YOU, THEN, HUH?

IT'S DIFFERENT.

DREDGING IN THE FRICKING
BOTTOM OF A WATERFALL,

STUFF COULD COME DOWN
AND LAND ON YOUR HEAD.

Wes: THE WATER'S NOT QUITE
MOVING LIKE THIS, IS IT?

NO, NO.

NO.

WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE
THIS SPOT RIGHT THERE?

I CHOSE IT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
ANYBODY'S GOTTEN TO IT YET.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CONTINUALLY
LOOKING FOR --

PLACES THAT ARE HARD,

PLACES THAT THE OLD-TIMERS
DIDN'T GET TO.

WE'RE BANKING THAT THERE IS
A LOT OF GOLD

IN THIS POOL RIGHT HERE.

WELL, WE'RE TAKING A GAMBLE

WHETHER THE SOURCE
IS JUST ABOVE US.

SO, THIS IS SOME CRAZY STUFF,
MAN. YOU UP FOR IT?

GOT IT.

WELL, JAMES,
WELCOME TO OUR TEAM.

WE'RE GOING TO DEFINITELY
BE ABLE TO USE YOU FOR SURE.

A FOUR-MAN TEAM'S GOING TO BE
PRETTY DAMN GOOD FOR US, MAN.

Carlos:
HELL YEAH, BROTHER.

WE'RE WAY BEHIND THE OTHER TEAM,
MAN, SO...

LET'S GET TO WORK, GUYS.

CARLOS, YOU'RE IN
THE WATER TODAY, MAN?

YEP.

YEAH, LET'S DO THIS, MAN.
LET'S GET IT GOING.

IT'S DANGEROUS,
DANGEROUS AS HELL.

THIS IS THE MOST EXTREME
I'VE EVER DONE.

ALRIGHT.
LET'S SEE HOW FAR

YOU CAN GET CLOSE
TO THAT THING, MAN.

YOU GOT ME?

Narrator: CARLOS FEELS
FOR THE EDGE OF THE PLUNGE POOL.

OH, YEAH, IT COMES DOWN
RIGHT HERE.

RIGHT THERE...RIGHT THERE, DUDE.

...IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE.
RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT UNDERNEATH
THAT POUND ZONE.

THE POUND ZONE.

AS FAR DOWN AS IT GOES.

LET'S HOPE IT'S NO MORE
THAN 15, 18 FEET.

I JUST HOPE AT THE END
OF THE RAINBOW,

THERE'S FRICKING GOLD
DOWN HERE.

Narrator: FORMER MARINE CARLOS
FOLLOWED HIS SERVICE

WITH 13 YEARS
AS A COMMERCIAL DIVER.

HE'LL BE FIRST INTO
THE 33-DEGREE WATER.

I'M RUNNING THROUGH THIS DIVE
100 TIMES IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU DON'T RESPECT WATER,

THEN YOU'RE GOING
TO DIE, BROTHER.

Narrator: DUSTIN PUTS JAMES
IN CHARGE OF RUNNING THE DREDGE.

THERE'S NO TIME TO TRAIN HIM,

AND HE WANTS TO TEST
HIS CLAIMS OF EXPERIENCE.

WELL, YEAH, YOU'VE GOT
A DIVER DOWN THERE.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
YOUR ASS IS RESPONSIBLE.

SO THIS IS MY TEST,
AND I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST.

COME ON.

COME ON.

THIS ONE'S BEING
A LITTLE BIT STUBBORN.

COME ON, COME ON.

YOU JUST GOT TO FEATHER IT.

OHH.

Carlos: IT'S LIKE TRYING
TO WATCH BAMBI WALK.

Dustin: HE'S HITTING THE END
OF THAT CORD PRETTY HARD.

IS IT SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE CHOKE?

THERE IT GOES.
YOU GOT IT.

GOOD JOB, MAN.

RIGHT?GOT IT.

YOU'LL DO GREAT.

HE'S JUST A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.

WE'RE FIGURING HIM OUT.

YEAH, I'M NERVOUS.

YOU KIDDING ME?

BUT THAT'LL GO AWAY.

IT WILL GO AWAY.

Narrator:
500 TONS OF GLACIAL MELTWATER

CRASH DOWN CAHOON EVERY MINUTE,

ENOUGH TO HOLD A DIVER DOWN.

CARLOS COULD LOSE
HIS AIRLINE OR MASK

IN THE POUND ZONE AND DROWN.

HOW'S THAT?Carlos: GOOD.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO GO DIRECTLY
FOR THIS WATERFALL.

YEP. ROGER.

ALRIGHT, BROTHER,
TIME TO START DIVING.

LET'S FIND SOME GOLD!

ALRIGHT.
LET'S GET THE GOLD.

Carlos: YEAH!

I'M DREDGING, GUYS.

THIS IS MY WORLD.

BABY NEEDS SOME NEW SHOES.

MAMA NEEDS A NEW DRESS.

HEY, WE'RE DIVING!

NOW WE GOT SOME CATCHING UP
TO DO, SO LET'S GET AFTER IT.

YEAH, AH, AH.

WELL, FOR THE FIRST TIME
WORKING WITHOUT FRED,

THERE'S NOBODY AROUND TO TELL ME
WHERE TO DIG AND HOW TO DIG.

FRED'S NOT HERE TO GO,

"OH, I THINK YOU SHOULD GO
DOWNSTREAM ABOUT 50 FEET.

I'M TELLING YOU, DUSTIN.
THAT'S WHERE THE GOLD'S AT."

WE'RE GOING TO STRAIGHT
FOR THE PLUNGE POOL.

-HEY, CARLOS...
-YEP?

...HOW DEEP ARE YOU
RIGHT NOW?

PROBABLY ABOUT MAYBE
ABOUT 3 FEET.

HOW'S IT DIGGING?

JUST ROCKS, MAN,
ROCKS, ROCKS, ROCKS.

GOT MY HEAD IN A POUND ZONE.

IT'S A PINBALL MACHINE
DOWN HERE, MAN.

Carlos:
GOT MY HEAD IN A POUND ZONE.

IT'S A PINBALL MACHINE
DOWN HERE, MAN.

Dustin:
BRING HIM UP, QUICK!

HOW WAS THAT, BUDDY?

OH, BROTHER,
IT'S LIKE A GOD DANG

WASHING MACHINE
IN THERE, DUDE.

Carlos:
THAT FELT LIKE 100 TONS

OF FRICKING PURE WATER
JUST KILLING YOU.

IT'S HEAVY, MAN.

FRICK -- YEAH,
IT WAS HEAVY AS HELL.

MY BIGGEST FEAR IS DROWNING,

ESPECIALLY IN A POUND ZONE.

YOU KNOW, THERE AIN'T
MUCH YOU CAN DO.

GOOD DIVE, BUDDY.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE DEEP ENOUGH
TO FIND ANY GOLD YET, BUT --

I KNOW.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL.

FRED'S ALREADY GOT
A HEAD START ON US,

BUT WE'RE CATCHING HIM.

Narrator: DOWNSTREAM 1/4 MILE
AT FRED'S CLAIM...

Fred: GUYS AND GALS, EVERYBODY,
INSTEAD OF DIVING TODAY,

WE HAVE TO SET UP A SYSTEM
TO DRAG ROCKS OUT.

Narrator: ...FRED'S DESPERATE TO
GET BACK TO DREDGING FOR GOLD.

BUT FIRST, THEY MUST SOLVE
HOW TO LIFT THE ROCKS OUT.

Paul: MAYBE WE CAN GET AROUND
THE BACKSIDE OF THAT KNOLL

RIGHT THERE, WE CAN FIND
A GOOD ANCHOR POINT

TO HOOK OUR CABLE TO.

THEN WE CAN PROBABLY GO FROM
THERE DOWN TO THAT BIG BOULDER.

THAT'D GIVE US A GOOD LINE
OF PULL.

-THAT WOULD BE PERFECT.
-OKAY.

LET'S JUST GO AHEAD
AND GET TO IT.

Narrator: FRED'S PATH
TO THE GOLD ON BEDROCK

IS BLOCKED BY ROCKS
AND BOULDERS.

FRED'S PLAN -- FIX A STEEL CABLE
TO TWO ANCHOR POINTS

ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE CREEK,
INSTALL TWO WINCHES,

ONE UPSTREAM TO MOVE
THE SLED BACK AND FORTH

ALONG THE HEAVY-DUTY CABLE,
ANOTHER DOWNSTREAM

TO RAISE AND LOWER
THE SLED INTO THE CREEK.

THE CREW CAN THEN SHIFT
HEAVY ROCKS AND BOULDERS

FROM THE DIVE SITE.

TO SET THE HIGH END
OF THE FIXED LINE,

FRED SENDS NEW HIRE RYAN
UP THE HILL.

Ryan:
THERE'S THICK STUFF IN HERE.

KEEP MAKING YOUR WAY
THIS DIRECTION,

GO ABOUT ANOTHER
5 FEET UP FARTHER.

THEY'RE UP A PRETTY
STEEP EMBANKMENT.

DO YOU WANT ME TO COME OVER
THERE AND DO IT MYSELF?

GET YOUR ASS UP THERE.

RIGHT THERE, THAT ROCK --
DRILL IT.

OKAY, DID YOU NEED TO --

JUST DRILL IT.

FRED, CAN YOU BACK OFF
A LITTLE BIT?

Narrator:
THE FIXED LINE IN PLACE,

RYAN BOLTS DOWN
THE UPSTREAM WINCH.

Ryan: HEY, FRED, I'M GONNA NEED
THE HAMMER DRILL.

KAYLA, IS THE DRILL
OVER THERE?

Kayla: YES.

COME ON, KAYLA!

I SEE YOU.

I GOT IT, BUT DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE THAT, OKAY?

I GOT IT.

HE'S WAITING
ON THE HAMMER DRILL.

I GET IT.

I'M WAVING ON YOU
TO COME ON.

Fred:
I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE SLOW,

BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE
IT WAS GONNA BE THIS SLOW.

-ALRIGHT. DRILL IT.
-OKAY.

HIT THAT DAMN THING.

Ryan: ME AND FRED ARE GONNA
BUTT HEADS A LITTLE BIT,

BUT I KNOW FRED'S
A GOOD OLD DUDE,

SO I'M JUST GOING TO TRY TO,

YOU KNOW, KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Fred: DRAG LINE IS GOOD.

WE'VE GOT OUR TWO WINCHES
PUT IN.

THE SLED IS IN THE WATER.

WE'RE READY TO GO.

Narrator: AFTER 5 HOURS OF WORK,
THE SYSTEM IS IN PLACE.

TIME TO TEST IT.

Ryan:
WE'VE GOT US A SLED BUILT,

SO I'M DEFINITELY EXCITED
TO TRY THAT THING OUT

AND SEE WHAT I CAN GET,

SEE IF I CAN GET DOWN
TO THE BOTTOM, HIT BEDROCK,

AND HOPEFULLY
FIND US SOME GOLD.

Narrator: GREENHORN KAYLA
IS ON THE WINCH LINES.

Fred: I GOT IT.

Narrator: PAUL STACKS UP
THE FIRST SLEDLOAD OF ROCKS.

Kayla: ARE YOU READY?

Ryan: YEP.

Fred:
FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO --

WE NEED TO MOVE THE BLOCK,

AND AT THE SAME TIME,
KIND OF PICK UP ON YOUR LOAD

AS YOU --

AS THE BLOCK
COMES DOWN THIS WAY,

YOU'LL SEE THE SLACK.

GOT TO LET YOUR BLOCK
DOWNHILL FIRST.

PULL THE BLOCK DOWNHILL
FIRST.

PULL THE BLOCK DOWN...

THE BLOCK.

PULL THE BLOCK.

THE...BLOCK.

LET THE BLOCK DOWNHILL.

NOW PICK UP REAL EASY
ON YOUR...

IT'D BE BETTER IF YOU DIDN'T
TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

HEY, IT STOPPED.
WHAT -- WHAT HAPPENED?

Paul:
OUR CABLE IS BROKE.

IS IT MOVING ANY AT ALL?

NOPE.

NOPE, IT IS NOT MOVING.

WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TRUST
A ROOKIE DRIVER?

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME
WITH RESPECT

BECAUSE
I DON'T APPRECIATE THAT.

DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE I'M STUPID.

WHAT IS RESPECT?DON'T DO THAT.

YEAH,
WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE.

I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE --
SIT THERE AND...

YOU'RE NOT ON
A CONSTRUCTION JOB.

PC PERSON.

I GET THAT.
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE RUDE.

THAT AIN'T RUDE.
OKAY.

RUDE
IS RUDE.

YEAH, WHEN I'M --
OKAY. WHATEVER.

THE MALE/FEMALE THING -- PEOPLE
ARE BROUGHT UP DIFFERENTLY.

THIS IS A ROUGH, TOUGH JOB.

YOU DON'T SIT THERE,
"OH, THAT OFFENDED ME.

JUST BE NICE TO ME."

WELL, SCREW THAT.

LET'S GET THE JOB DONE.

Narrator: PAUL CHECKS THE WINCH
TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

Paul: THAT'S THE TAIL END
OF OUR CABLE?

WHAT THE ?

SOMEBODY DIDN'T FIX THE END OF
THE CABLE TO THE WINCH PROPERLY.

IT'S MEANT TO BE SITTING
IN THAT HOUSING.

NOW IT'S FRAYED SO I CAN'T
GET IT BACK IN.

KAYLA, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

Narrator: KAYLA'S NOT TO BLAME,
AND FRED ISN'T AROUND TO SEE.

Ryan: ALL THIS
COMPLAINING --

JUST DAMN IT!

IT GETS FRUSTRATING,
VERY FRUSTRATING.

YOU KNOW, HE WANTS EVERYTHING
DONE REALLY FAST,

BUT THEN HE'S TELLING ME,
"HEY, YOU'VE GOT TO BE ON THIS.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE ON THAT."

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT.

I THINK FRED NEEDS TO TAKE
A MAJOR STEP BACK

AND STOP MICROMANAGING.

I LOVE FRED TO DEATH.
HE IS MY STEPFATHER.

HE'S DONE SO MUCH FOR ME.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WORK,
HE'S RUTHLESS.

UNTIL WE GET THAT FIXED,
WE'RE -- WE'RE DONE.

IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING.

I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT.

Narrator: AT TWO FISH,

PAUL AND KAYLA
FIX FRED'S LIFT-AND-DRAG SYSTEM.

BRING IT IN.

Fred: THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF TENSION LATELY.

I MAY BE A LITTLE BIT TOUGH
ON THE CREW.

MY MANAGEMENT STYLE
IS A LITTLE ROUGH AND GRUFF.

IT'S A LEARNING PROCESS.

I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND BACK OFF
A LITTLE BIT

AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

SO...THAT SHOULD WORK
LIKE THAT.

Kayla: YEAH, THAT'S GOING TO
WORK OUT REALLY GREAT.

ALRIGHT.
WE NEED A DIVER IN THE WATER.

Paul: WE DON'T HAVE A WET SUIT
FOR YOU, SO YOU CAN USE MINE.

JUST DON'T PISS IN IT.

Ryan: WELL, I'LL TRY TO
HOLD IT IN AS BEST AS I CAN.

NOTHING LIKE DIVING
IN ANOTHER MAN'S PISS.

Narrator: IN RYAN'S FIRST DIVE
IN THE 33-DEGREE CREEK WATER,

HE MUST PROVE HIMSELF

BY USING
THE NEW SLED SYSTEM

TO HAUL OUT THE LARGE ROCKS

THAT BLOCK THEIR PATH
TO THE GOLD.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT MY FIRST TIME
AROUND THE BLOCK,

SO I'M GOING TO SHOW THESE GUYS
WHAT I'M MADE UP TODAY.

I GUESS ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS,
JUST GET IN THERE.

DO THE BEST YOU CAN DO.

YOU ARE SUITED.

ALRIGHT.

LET'S GET IN THE WATER
AND WHUP SOME ASS.

Paul: FEELS GOOD TO BE
IN THE WATER, DOESN'T IT?

OH, IT FEELS GREAT.

BUT I TELL YOU WHAT --
I'M GOING TO NEED THE SLED.

OKAY. OH.

KAYLA, BRING THAT BLOCK
DOWN TO ABOUT RIGHT HERE.

YEAH.

RIGHT ABOUT THERE?

YEAH, THAT SHOULD
BE GOOD FOR YOUR...

-OKAY.
-...FOR THAT.

-FOR MY BLOCK?
-YEAH.

Paul: YOU READY FOR HER
TO PULL THE SLED?

OKAY, GO AHEAD AND DO IT.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S OUT
OF THE WAY AND SAFE.

ALRIGHT, RYAN,
WE'RE GONNA PULL THE SLED OUT.

COPY THAT.

SLED IS ON THE MOVE.

LOOKING GOOD.

Fred: VERY GOOD.

OH, YEAH.

NICE ROCK.

Narrator: EVERY ROCK
RYAN GETS OUT OF THE CREEK

MOVES THE CREW CLOSER
TO BEDROCK GOLD.

Fred: GOOD JOB, MAN.
GOOD JOB.

LET'S DO IT.

NICE.
OH, YEAH.

THAT HELPS.

OH, IT'S NICE
HAVING A SLED.

MAKES A HELL
OF A DIFFERENCE.

Kayla: EVERY TIME YOU SAY
"SLED," I THINK OF SANTA CLAUS.

HO, HO, HO.

I'M NOT THAT OLD YET.

YOU'VE GOT THE BELLY
FOR IT.

Narrator:
FRED'S SYSTEM WORKS.

NOW WITH THE ROCKS
OUT OF THE WAY,

RYAN CAN DREDGE FOR GOLD.

HOW'S YOUR FIRST DIVE
GOING DOWN THERE, RYAN?

Ryan:
IT'S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT
A LOT OF MATERIAL

COMING OUT
OVER THE BACK END.

VERY GOOD.

I'M LOOKING DOWN THERE
FOR GOLD AS MUCH AS I CAN.

HOPEFULLY,
THERE'S SOME THERE.

RYAN'S FIRST DIVE --
HE'S DOING GREAT.

HE'S HANDLING THE CURRENT FINE.

HE'S OBVIOUSLY LISTENING
TO HIS BREATHING.

HE SHOWS SIGNS OF BEING VERY
EXPERIENCED AT BEING UNDERWATER.

Ryan:
I SEE MY FIRST PIECE OF GOLD.

-JUST A SMALL PIECE.
-REALLY?

Fred:
IT'S PROBABLY PYRITE.

BUT ALL WE NEED

IS ONE LITTLE POCKET
THE SIZE OF A COFFEE CAN,

AND WE'VE GOT A GOOD SEASON.

HEY, RYAN,
GREAT DIVE, MAN.

COME ON UP.

ALRIGHT.
RYAN COMING OUT.

THERE YOU GO.

YEP.

-GOOD DIVE TODAY.
-GOOD JOB, DUDE.

-GOOD JOB.
-THAT WAS AWESOME.

IT WAS AWESOME DOWN THERE.

A LOT OF MATERIAL TO MOVE,
A LOT OF BIG BOULDERS,

AND, YOU KNOW,
THE VISIBILITY WAS GOOD TODAY.

Fred: EVERYTHING WENT
JUST PRETTY WELL AS PLANNED.

THE WINCHES WERE WORKING THE WAY
WE WANTED THEM TO WORK.

WE'RE BACK IN THE GAME
AND BACK TO DREDGING,

AND THAT'S REALLY EXCITING.

Narrator:
A QUARTER MILE UP THE CREEK...

...IT'S TIME FOR
THE OTHER NEW HIRE, JAMES,

TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE.

James: NEVER DOVE
INTO A WATERFALL IN MY LIFE.

HEY, YOU KNOW, GETTING POUNDED
BY WATER, TOSSED AND TURNED...

THAT'D MAKE SOMEBODY NERVOUS.

Carlos: JAMES IS GETTING THROWN
TO THE WOLVES.

LET'S SEE IF HE CAN SINK
OR SWIM.

Narrator: DUSTIN NEEDS JAMES
TO ENTER THE DANGER ZONE

AND LOWER THE BASE OF
THE PLUNGE POOL AT LEAST 2 FEET.

Dustin: YOU CAN NEVER TELL UNTIL
YOU PUT SOMEBODY UNDER PRESSURE

WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.

IT'S NOT ABOUT TAKING ORDERS --

IT'S ABOUT DOING WHAT YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO WITHOUT BEING TOLD.

ALRIGHT.
YOU'RE READY.

IF YOU GET NERVOUS,
JUST DON'T PANIC.

THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

THE GUYS UP HERE CANNOT HELP YOU
IF YOU FLIP OUT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE STRATEGIC
ABOUT THIS.

WE'RE GOING TO START IN
ON THE EDGES AND COME IN.

DON'T LET THE POUND ZONE
GET YOU.

AT SOME POINT,
WE'LL BE DEEP ENOUGH

TO WHERE YOU CAN GO RIGHT
UNDERNEATH THAT POUND ZONE.

Narrator: THE FORCE
OF THE POUND-ZONE WATER

CAN KNOCK OUT A DIVER,
PIN THEM UNDER,

OR TEAR AWAY THEIR AIRLINE.

DUSTIN'S PLAN --
TO GET UNDER THE POUND ZONE,

DIG INWARDS FROM THE SIDES
OF THE PLUNGE POOL.

ONCE HE'S BELOW IT, HE CAN
DREDGE DOWN TO THE PILE OF GOLD

HE THINKS LIES ON BEDROCK.

ALRIGHT, BROTHER.
ALRIGHT.

LET'S ROCK AND ROLL.
ALRIGHT?

ROCK AND ROLL.

ALRIGHT. ALRIGHT.

ALRIGHT. WE'RE IN.

ALRIGHT, JAMES,
HOW'S THAT WATER...

YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE,
DUDE.

YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

IF YOU HAVE TO GET
CLOSER TO THE BANK

TO GET OUT OF THAT POUND ZONE,
DO SO, ALRIGHT?

ALRIGHT.

NOW, LISTEN, THAT POUND ZONE
WILL KNOCK YOU OUT.

I'M JUST IN FRONT OF IT.

ALRIGHT.

THIS IS THE NAME
OF THE GAME HERE.

YES, SIR.

HOW TOUGH ARE YOU?
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

OH, OKAY.
HERE. I'LL THROTTLE DOWN.

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT JUST
KEEPS GETTING CAUGHT ON IT.

Narrator: THE NOZZLE HANDLE
IS SNAGGED ON JAMES' HARNESS.

HE'S TRAPPED UNDER
THE POUND ZONE.

THE WAY YOU'RE BREATHING
RIGHT NOW,

YOU'RE BREATHING TOO HARD.
ALRIGHT?

SLOW DOWN YOUR BREATH.CALM DOWN.

LONG BREATHS, DUDE,
LONG BREATHS.

JAMES.

Narrator:
FRED'S CREW PULLS THE MATS

FOR THE FIRST CLEANUP
OF THE SEASON.

I SEE SOME PYRITE.
I DON'T SEE ANY COLOR AS OF YET.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THERE
RIGHT NOW AT ALL.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
NOTHING.

THIS DOES NOT HAVE A GREAT
NUMBER OF HOURS ON IT AT ALL.

MAYBE WE'LL PAN
A COUPLE PANS OF IT.

LET'S GO SEE WHAT WE GOT.

I'M STUCK.

Carlos: WELL, YOUR HARNESS
IS STUCK IN THE NOZZLE.

TAKE IT EASY.
TAKE IT EASY.

I'M RIGHT IN THE NOZZLE,
HOLD ON.

Narrator:
DUSTIN'S NEW RECRUIT, JAMES,

IS ON HIS FIRST DIVE
IN WHITE WATER.

THE SUCTION HOSE IS CAUGHT
ON HIS HARNESS,

PINNING HIM
BENEATH THE WATER.

I'M CAUGHT.

JAMES,
YOU NEED TO STAY CALM.

WHATEVER YOU DO, MAN,
JUST SLOW DOWN YOUR BREATH.

ARE YOU STRADDLING THE HOSE?

ARE YOU RIDING THE HOSE? YEAH.

IS THERE ANY WAY
YOU CAN GET OFF THE HOSE?

I'M GOING TO GO DOWN.

OKAY. YOU WANT TO GO DOWN?
OKAY.

I'M TRYING
TO FIND A WAY IN.

-GOT IT.
-WHAT?

I GOT IT.

THERE YOU GO.
OKAY.

THERE YOU GO.

THE WAY YOU'RE BREATHING
RIGHT NOW,

YOU'RE BREATHING TOO HARD,
ALRIGHT?

I WAS WRESTLING IT.

I KNOW.
I KNOW. I KNOW.

BUT THE THING IS...
STOP AND BREATHE.

YOU'RE IN NO FREAKING RUSH,
MAN -- NO RUSH.

DONE.

YOU WANT TO GO BACK RIGHT NOW
AND TRY THIS AGAIN, HUH?

-ALRIGHT.
-ALRIGHT, MAN.

YOU'RE GOOD, MAN.

OKAY, I'M GONNA START DREDGING.
READY?

THROTTLE UP.

ALRIGHT, MAN.

HE'S RIDING THAT HOSE
LIKE A BRONCO,

BUT HE'S JUST GOT TO REMEMBER,
JUST LIKE IN THE RODEO, MAN,

SHE AIN'T GONNA LET GO,

JUST GOT TO TAKE IT EASY.

RAINBOW RODEO, BROTHER!

PRETTY QUICK.

LET'S GET

PUT YOUR HAND UP?

AND THAT'S --
YOUR HAND'S ALL THE WAY UP,

SO YOU'RE ABOUT --
DANG, WHOO!

THAT'S ABOUT 7 FEET, MAN.

HOW'S THE WATER?
HOW'S THE CURRENT DOWN BELOW?

IS IT STILL ROUGH?

OKAY, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S PERFECT.

ALRIGHT, MAN.
YOU DID IT, MAN.

YOU DID IT.
YOU ARE HEREBY SHUT DOWN.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

ALRIGHT.
COMING UP.

Narrator:
JAMES HAS OVERCOME HIS FEARS

AND GOT 4 FEET
OF ROCKS AND GRAVEL

OUT OF THE PLUNGE POOL,

GETTING THE CREW CLOSER
TO BEDROCK GOLD.

ALRIGHT.

GOOD JOB!

BL-BL-BL-BL!

HOW DO YOU FEEL, MAN?

-HEAVY.
-HEAVY, HUH?

OKAY, HOLD ON.

Dustin:
HOW WAS THAT, MAN?

OH, THAT WAS
A LOT OF FUN.

-HUH?

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN, MAN.

I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.

HE GOT A LOT OF WORK DONE.

I GOT ME A NEW WORKHORSE.

Narrator:
FINDING GOLD IN THEIR FIRST WEEK

PROVES DUSTIN'S HUNCH
WAS RIGHT.

-I'LL TAKE IT. IT'S A START.
-YOU KNOW WHAT?

GOOD JOB, BROTHER!

THAT WAS AWESOME.

Dustin: WE'VE PROVEN THAT THERE
IS GOLD DOWN THERE.

WE'RE GONNA DIG THIS
UNTIL IT'S DONE.

I HOPE THIS IS IT.

THE BEST DAMN GOLD
WE'VE EVER HAD --

THAT'S WHAT I NEED --
REALLY GOOD GOLD.

Fred:
KAYLA, YOU KNOW HOW TO PAN?

LET'S SEE
HOW YOU PAN FOR GOLD.

Narrator: DOWN AT FRED'S CLAIM,
HE'S CLEANING UP.

RYAN DIVED FOR TWO HOURS
ON SURFACE GRAVEL.

THE CHANCES OF FINDING ANY GOLD
ARE SLIM.

I HOPE WE FIND A LITTLE GOLD
IN THERE,

APPRECIATE ALL YOU GUYS'
HARD WORK.

Paul:
I DIDN'T SEE ANY GOLD.

-WELL, FRED, I GOT SOME GOLD.
-ALRIGHT.

A COUPLE LITTLE PIECES
IN THERE.

WE'VE GOT SOME NICE
LITTLE SPECKS IN HERE,

AND THAT WAS JUST
A SMALL PAN,

SO THIS ONE ACTUALLY HAS
A LITTLE BIT OF CHARACTER TO IT.

YEE-HOO-HOO-HOO!

THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.
THAT'S A GOOD SIGN!

NICE LITTLE CHUNKY PIECE
RIGHT THERE.

MAN, LOOK HOW BRIGHT
THAT IS.

A FEW LITTLE PIECES RIGHT THERE
SHOWING UP.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD SIGN.

ONLY GONNA GET BETTER.

GOOD JOB, FELLAS.

BY THE TIME
WE GET THIS THING SWEPT OUT

BACK AND FORTH
ACROSS HERE,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE
SOME GOOD GOLD.

I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE ANYTHING
THIS EARLY IN THE GAME,

SO WHAT WE DID SEE IS JUST --
IT'S GREAT.

WE JUST BARELY EVEN TOUCHED
THE SURFACE.

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE HERE
TO GO TO.

WE FOUND GOLD.

I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT
WE'RE HERE FOR.

Fred: WE'RE GOING TO FIND
SOME MORE OF IT.

MOTHER NATURE LEFT US A GOOD
TREASURE OUT HERE SOMEWHERE.

Narrator: NEXT TIME ON
"GOLD RUSH: WHITE WATER"...

WE GOT A CHARGING BEAR.

NOW HE HAS A PEOPLE PROBLEM.

JAMES, I DEFINITELY WANT YOU
TO CARRY A GUN.

OH, I SMELL SOMETHING
BURNING.

HEY!

Fred: THEY WANT US TO COMPLETELY
FILL THIS HOLE UP.

DAMN.

WE'LL SEE YOU
WHEN WE SEE YOU, HUH?

HAVE A GOOD SEASON, FRED.

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK,
THERE'S GOLD.

LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF THIS THING, GUYS.

CHRISTMAS IN ALASKA THIS YEAR
IS GONNA BE GOOD, DUDE.
