1
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:04,963
‐ Narrator: Tonighton the season finale...
2
00:00:04,963 --> 00:00:06,965
‐ John: This is the moment
we've been waiting for.
3
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:12,679
...after an intensefive‐month expedition
4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,264
on the mountain...
5
00:00:14,264 --> 00:00:16,266
‐ Man, that rain
is not letting up.
6
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:18,977
‐ ...John and the teamare betting everything...
7
00:00:18,977 --> 00:00:20,938
‐ This has got to be the spot.
8
00:00:20,938 --> 00:00:22,898
‐ ...on one site
9
00:00:22,898 --> 00:00:26,068
lying 300 feetbeneath the waterfall.
10
00:00:26,068 --> 00:00:28,320
‐ We think we've got
some type of void space
11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,738
300 feet down.
12
00:00:29,738 --> 00:00:31,907
‐ It's a long way down.
13
00:00:31,907 --> 00:00:33,659
‐ It could containwhat they believe
14
00:00:33,659 --> 00:00:37,246
is a treasure chamberfilled with gold
15
00:00:37,246 --> 00:00:40,415
buried during World War II
16
00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:44,503
by Japanese generalTomoyuki Yamashita.
17
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:48,215
Despite every obstacle
18
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:49,258
they've facedon the mountain...
19
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:53,595
‐ I can't even get
another inch out of this thing.
20
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:58,558
...they believethe moment is near...
21
00:00:58,558 --> 00:01:00,936
‐ I've never seen
anything like this.
22
00:01:00,936 --> 00:01:03,438
‐ ...when they can finallyuncover...
23
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:04,773
‐ What is that?
24
00:01:04,773 --> 00:01:07,484
‐ ...the lost goldof World War II.
25
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:18,787
The road to findingYamashita's treasure
26
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:21,915
has been a whirlwindfor John and his team.
27
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:32,009
After a scan of the mountainrevealed metal deposits
28
00:01:32,009 --> 00:01:34,803
300 feetbelow the waterfall...
29
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:36,054
‐ We have NMR proving
30
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:38,432
that there's a void space
on that waterfall.
31
00:01:38,432 --> 00:01:40,183
I think this is
the motherlode, guys.
32
00:01:40,183 --> 00:01:43,312
‐ ...John triedevery possible way in...
33
00:01:45,272 --> 00:01:46,940
‐ I honestly don't think
the tunnel goes anywhere else.
34
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,108
I can't see it.
35
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:49,484
‐ ...until he was left
36
00:01:49,484 --> 00:01:51,486
with one final option.
37
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:54,823
‐ I think your best bet
is to come in from the side,
38
00:01:54,823 --> 00:01:56,700
drilling 930 feet,
39
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:58,535
and then there's
bore hole cameras
40
00:01:58,535 --> 00:02:00,871
that will make it 930 feet
41
00:02:00,871 --> 00:02:03,123
to see exactly
what we've hit.
42
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:08,795
‐ Now, after weeksof drilling,
43
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,882
the team is finallyjust 200 feet
44
00:02:11,882 --> 00:02:13,550
from hitting their target.
45
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:15,844
‐ All right, man...
46
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:20,807
‐ In just a few days,
47
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:22,476
they'll finallybe able to see
48
00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:26,563
into what they believeis a massive treasure vault.
49
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:35,489
But the closer they get...
50
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:39,034
the more carefulthey need to be.
51
00:02:39,034 --> 00:02:41,370
‐ That isn't good.
52
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,372
We were in perfectly
solid rock before,
53
00:02:43,372 --> 00:02:44,873
and now there's a bunch
of sand and dirt
54
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:46,416
in the end of this.
55
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:50,212
‐ The sand could be a signof a Japanese booby trap.
56
00:02:50,212 --> 00:02:53,340
‐ The Japanese were infamous
for putting sand traps in.
57
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,717
Hundreds of tons of sand,
enough to kill a man.
58
00:02:57,886 --> 00:02:59,429
‐ Just as worrying,
59
00:02:59,429 --> 00:03:02,849
it can also knocktheir drill off course.
60
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:05,852
‐ 930 feet is
a really long way to go,
61
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,438
so all we can really do
is see if we're precise,
62
00:03:08,438 --> 00:03:10,107
check and double‐check it.
63
00:03:10,107 --> 00:03:12,609
Then it's really up to Andrew
and the drill gods
64
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:15,570
to make sure that this thing
finesses straight on through.
65
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:17,656
We want to go
as straight as an arrow
66
00:03:17,656 --> 00:03:19,408
and go right into this void.
67
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:23,537
John's got this gut feeling
that we're still on track,
68
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:26,164
but there's a margin
of error here.
69
00:03:27,582 --> 00:03:29,042
I'm getting pretty nervous.
70
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:32,003
‐ Rob frequently checkscore samples
71
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:33,880
to make surethey haven't hit material
72
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,174
that could send themin the wrong direction.
73
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:37,968
‐ So as you can see, um,
74
00:03:37,968 --> 00:03:39,428
it's progressively
getting worse.
75
00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:42,639
‐ It's like clay
and sandy gravel.
76
00:03:43,682 --> 00:03:45,100
We're gonna move
a little further,
77
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,227
get another tray out,
78
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:48,603
and if it looks
anything like this,
79
00:03:48,603 --> 00:03:51,314
then I think it's imperative
that we do a survey
80
00:03:51,314 --> 00:03:53,275
and make sure
that this kind of crap here
81
00:03:53,275 --> 00:03:54,985
hasn't steered us
way off course.
82
00:03:58,613 --> 00:03:59,781
Here we go.
83
00:03:59,781 --> 00:04:01,408
It's the moment of truth.
84
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:07,122
‐ That is not very good at all.
85
00:04:07,122 --> 00:04:10,292
There's a fair chance
that we're starting to deviate,
86
00:04:10,292 --> 00:04:11,751
so we'll have to do a survey
87
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:13,837
and check where we're at
at this stage.
88
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:17,674
‐ If they can't reachthe site,
89
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:20,427
it could be game over.
90
00:04:20,427 --> 00:04:22,763
‐ I think the worst
possible scenario
91
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:25,098
is to miss the void
and not know
92
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,726
and have to start all over
in some other way.
93
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:29,603
I don't know if we have
the resources left
94
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,687
to do this again.
95
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:40,822
‐ Running out of leadsto explore on the mountain,
96
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:42,991
Rick and Bingo search
97
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:44,826
for new locationsto investigate.
98
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:47,996
Bingo focuseson the 25 treasure maps
99
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:50,165
given to themby Chuck McDougald.
100
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:53,460
‐ This contains the maps
that were given to me
101
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:54,795
in the Philippines.
102
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:56,463
‐ I've never seen
anything like this.
103
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:58,381
‐ According to Chuck,
104
00:04:58,381 --> 00:04:59,549
these maps once belonged
105
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:02,302
to Philippine PresidentFerdinand Marcos
106
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:05,514
and are evidence of possibleYamashita treasure sites
107
00:05:05,514 --> 00:05:07,474
throughout the Philippines.
108
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:10,227
The team was warnedby an anonymous source
109
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:12,479
that their huntcould be deadly.
110
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:22,823
‐ These vast amount of money
111
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:25,700
attract people who are
willing to torture.
112
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:29,162
If I were you, I would be
very, very careful.
113
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:31,873
‐ The team'salready experienced
114
00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:33,959
unwelcome surveillance...
115
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:35,669
‐ Rick, you seeing
that helicopter?
116
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:36,962
We just got buzzed.
117
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:44,052
‐ ...and taken precautions.
118
00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:45,470
‐ John:
We've got security posted
119
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:47,055
on every high point
in this place,
120
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:48,765
and I think we're good to go.
121
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:53,728
‐ Worried their dayson the mountain
122
00:05:53,728 --> 00:05:55,230
could be numbered,
123
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:57,816
Bingo intensifies his search.
124
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:02,779
‐ What I'm looking for
right now
125
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:05,740
is any kind of symbols,
any kind of indicators
126
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:07,826
that we want to focus on
specifically,
127
00:06:07,826 --> 00:06:10,662
like this one clearly looks
like a building.
128
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,499
I mean,
this one says "USA" on it.
129
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:16,668
I have no idea
what that could even mean.
130
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:21,715
This is the only map
with a date on it‐‐
131
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:22,966
October 31, 1940.
132
00:06:22,966 --> 00:06:24,759
I mean, that's prior
to the war.
133
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,305
‐ The maps are codedand hard to decipher,
134
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:30,056
an obstacle
135
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:32,893
Chuck's treasure huntingpartner Bob Curtis
136
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:34,811
knew all too well.
137
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:36,646
‐ If I were to give youone of these maps,
138
00:06:36,646 --> 00:06:38,857
it would be meaninglessto you.
139
00:06:38,857 --> 00:06:41,776
Unless you knowthe fulcrum on the map,
140
00:06:41,776 --> 00:06:43,445
just forget it. You'd never‐‐
141
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:45,071
You'd never be ableto find it.
142
00:06:49,284 --> 00:06:50,452
‐ Narrator: Earlier,
143
00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:52,829
a secret informantgave Rick tapes
144
00:06:52,829 --> 00:06:55,290
recorded by Curtis,
145
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,376
so Bingo asks Rickto review them again,
146
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,086
searching for any clues
147
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:02,756
to new treasure sitesthey can investigate.
148
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:05,258
‐ I'm still reviewing
over a hundred hours of tapes
149
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:07,260
that previously belonged
to Bob Curtis.
150
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,888
He documented
treasure digging sites
151
00:07:09,888 --> 00:07:11,306
all over the Philippines.
152
00:07:11,306 --> 00:07:13,433
That guy was at it
for 30 years.
153
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:16,436
Clearly, he knew something
none of the rest of us know.
154
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:18,813
‐ Accordingto their informant,
155
00:07:18,813 --> 00:07:22,150
Marcos tasked Curtiswith decoding the treasure maps,
156
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:25,779
so these tapes could containvital leads.
157
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:30,158
‐ Watching these videotapes,
it feels like we're so close.
158
00:07:30,158 --> 00:07:31,660
It's here.
159
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:33,787
Just got to get this thing
pinned down.
160
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:43,963
‐ The next morning,
161
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:46,299
work at the waterfallcontinues.
162
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:48,968
The drill isin solid rock again,
163
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:51,471
and the team could bejust days away
164
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:52,972
from reaching the void.
165
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:55,058
‐ So this is exactly
what we want, isn't it?
166
00:07:58,103 --> 00:08:00,230
‐ All of it does.
I don't see any loose stuff
167
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:01,856
in between any layer.
168
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:06,111
I'm anxious, I'm exhausted,
and I'm nervous as hell
169
00:08:06,111 --> 00:08:08,613
waiting to get
closer and closer.
170
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:13,201
‐ Then...
171
00:08:13,201 --> 00:08:16,162
John getsan unwelcome surprise.
172
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:20,709
‐ Out of nowhere I get a call
173
00:08:20,709 --> 00:08:23,128
from security
at the front gate
174
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:26,715
to say that a government entity
has showed up here,
175
00:08:26,715 --> 00:08:28,133
flashed their badge,
176
00:08:28,133 --> 00:08:29,551
and wanted access
to the property,
177
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:31,010
which they gave them.
178
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:34,681
I don't want to push my luck
with them.
179
00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:36,182
‐ This is the second time
180
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:38,893
inspectors have dropped inon the team unannounced.
181
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,029
‐ Yeah. Falls is up
and over the top.
182
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:51,698
‐ That's the plan.
183
00:08:52,824 --> 00:08:55,076
‐ The increased frequencyof this attention
184
00:08:55,076 --> 00:08:57,245
as they nearthe possible treasure chamber
185
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:59,873
has everyone unsettled.
186
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:02,834
‐ We've been warned
by every single person
187
00:09:02,834 --> 00:09:04,669
that we've talked to
about treasure hunting
188
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:06,713
that has any experience.
189
00:09:06,713 --> 00:09:08,631
‐ If and when they think
you've found the treasure,
190
00:09:08,631 --> 00:09:10,884
they might either
steal it from you
191
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:12,677
or just kill you
right then and there.
192
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:21,478
‐ Rick:
I'm beginning to think
193
00:09:21,478 --> 00:09:24,064
it's not just a bunch
of empty warnings.
194
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,691
It's got me unnerved
at this point.
195
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:34,991
‐ At the waterfall site,
196
00:09:34,991 --> 00:09:37,410
surveillanceof the team's activities
197
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:38,953
is intensified,
198
00:09:38,953 --> 00:09:40,789
and everyone's spooked.
199
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:43,583
‐ As we get closer
and closer to this treasure,
200
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:46,044
more and more strange things
are happening.
201
00:09:47,504 --> 00:09:48,922
‐ In response,
202
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,758
John increases securityat their basecamp.
203
00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:54,385
‐ The last thing we need
is more people showing up
204
00:09:54,385 --> 00:09:56,179
uninvited to this party.
205
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:01,851
‐ Back in the U. S.,
206
00:10:01,851 --> 00:10:03,937
Bingo ramps up his search
207
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:06,648
for new Yamashitatreasure sites.
208
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:08,399
‐ We think we have
a map of our mountain,
209
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:10,985
but there's, again,
20‐some‐odd maps here.
210
00:10:10,985 --> 00:10:12,237
There could be treasure
all over the Philippines.
211
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:14,114
I mean, why settle
for one treasure
212
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:15,865
when we have so many
more maps here
213
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:18,034
that there could be a wealth
of information on here
214
00:10:18,034 --> 00:10:19,536
and we just need help
deciphering it?
215
00:10:20,662 --> 00:10:23,248
‐ He's focused his attentionon two maps...
216
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:28,336
and calls Chuck McDougaldfor more information.
217
00:10:28,336 --> 00:10:29,879
‐ Hey, Chuck.
How you doing today, sir?
218
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:33,091
‐ Good afternoon.Just fine, thank you.
219
00:10:33,091 --> 00:10:35,468
‐ Hey, look, I was looking
over a lot of these maps,
220
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,762
and we're trying to make
heads or tails of any of these.
221
00:10:40,056 --> 00:10:41,766
This map here.
222
00:10:43,393 --> 00:10:45,395
‐ That is...
223
00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:47,272
‐ The American basein the Philippines?
224
00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:48,356
‐ Yes.
225
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:49,816
‐ Wow. I mean, that's‐‐
226
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:50,984
that's amazing to think
227
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,360
that they would
even bury treasure
228
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,362
on an American base.
229
00:10:54,362 --> 00:10:55,864
‐ At the time they buried it,
230
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:57,782
the Japanese occupied it.
231
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:01,953
‐ Narrator: Originallybuilt in the Philippines
232
00:11:01,953 --> 00:11:05,081
by U. S. forces in 1903,
233
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:07,959
Clark Air Base fellto the Japanese
234
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:09,711
during their invasionin World War II.
235
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:14,674
It became a major centerfor Imperial air operations,
236
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:18,303
including a launching pointfor kamikaze pilots.
237
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:27,437
When the Allies attemptedto retake the base in 1945,
238
00:11:27,437 --> 00:11:30,231
they found that Japanesesoldiers had dug
239
00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:33,651
a network of tunnelsbeneath the base
240
00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:35,862
to stage their last stand.
241
00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:38,239
Many believe
242
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:40,742
the Japanese fiercelydefended the base
243
00:11:40,742 --> 00:11:43,244
not only for strategicmilitary significance
244
00:11:43,244 --> 00:11:47,248
but because they were alsodefending Yamashita's treasure
245
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:48,666
buried there.
246
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:55,423
‐ The dotted lineusually indicates a tunnel.
247
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:57,884
‐ The one intersecting between
these two trees here, then?
248
00:11:57,884 --> 00:11:59,219
‐ That's right.
249
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:02,722
The square indicatesa treasure,
250
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:05,141
and whatever is on the insideof the square
251
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:07,227
will indicatewhat the treasure is.
252
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:10,730
I think, becauseof this symbol above it...
253
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:14,734
...that's gold.
‐ Wow.
254
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:19,113
‐ Narrator:Clark Air Force Base
255
00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:23,284
was returned by the U. S.to Philippine control in 1991.
256
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:25,662
It operates todayunder the jurisdiction
257
00:12:25,662 --> 00:12:27,413
of the Philippine Air Force,
258
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,790
excluding it
259
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:30,875
as a treasure hunting sitefor the team.
260
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:34,921
‐ One other question I had.
261
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:38,424
And it was‐‐Okay.
Map number 14. Here we are.
262
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:41,010
Right here on top.
263
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:43,304
‐ That's the Japanese wordfor Intramuros,
264
00:12:43,304 --> 00:12:45,765
the walled citythat you go through
265
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:47,850
to get to Fort Santiago.
266
00:12:47,850 --> 00:12:49,936
‐ Narrator:Built by Spanish colonials
267
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:51,562
in the late 1500s,
268
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:53,189
Intramuros was made
269
00:12:53,189 --> 00:12:55,650
to protect inhabitantsfrom attack.
270
00:12:55,650 --> 00:12:58,278
When Japan invadedthe Philippines
271
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:00,446
on December 8th, 1941,
272
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:04,659
just 10 hours after theirattack on Pearl Harbor,
273
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:07,453
they immediately seizedIntramuros.
274
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:10,999
Japanese forceswould later make
275
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:12,333
one of their last stands
276
00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:14,585
during the Battle of Manilahere,
277
00:13:14,585 --> 00:13:18,298
a last‐ditch effortto keep the city of Manila
278
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:21,926
and possibly to protecttreasure buried below.
279
00:13:21,926 --> 00:13:25,763
‐ This might mean a road,crossroad..
280
00:13:29,142 --> 00:13:31,978
Here indicates a tunnelright here.
281
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:37,191
I don't know what‐‐what "October 31, 1940" means,
282
00:13:37,191 --> 00:13:40,695
but I‐‐I believe,if we got in that area,
283
00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:42,196
and we're close,
284
00:13:42,196 --> 00:13:44,741
we could find outwhat that means.
285
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:46,034
‐ You know,
one theory I heard
286
00:13:46,034 --> 00:13:47,869
is that,
even prior to the war,
287
00:13:47,869 --> 00:13:50,038
you know, Japan had spies
in country.
288
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:52,665
Looking at this date‐‐
October 31, 1940‐‐
289
00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:54,834
do you think
that this could indicate
290
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,711
when a spy was
in the Philippines,
291
00:13:56,711 --> 00:14:00,339
when he identified the site
to bury treasure in?
292
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:01,716
‐ Yes.
293
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:05,261
‐ Narrator: Priorto their invasion in 1941,
294
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:08,806
Japan engaged in extensiveintelligence gathering
295
00:14:08,806 --> 00:14:10,475
in the Philippines,
296
00:14:10,475 --> 00:14:12,310
using bothon‐the‐ground agents
297
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:13,853
and air surveillance
298
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:16,564
to gain knowledgeof military fortifications
299
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:17,899
and the terrain
300
00:14:17,899 --> 00:14:20,568
for the upcoming invasionand occupation.
301
00:14:20,568 --> 00:14:23,738
Many believethis information was also used
302
00:14:23,738 --> 00:14:27,033
to identify idealtreasure burial sites.
303
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:30,328
‐ Chuck, I mean,
just looking at these maps,
304
00:14:30,328 --> 00:14:33,581
the wealth of information
here‐‐on here‐‐
305
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:34,916
there's nothing like this
out there
306
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:36,459
that I've seen
in any of my research
307
00:14:36,459 --> 00:14:38,252
until, you know, meeting you
308
00:14:38,252 --> 00:14:40,421
and seeing these maps
firsthand.
309
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:43,549
You know, cities, forts,
actual locations.
310
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:45,051
You know, Chuck,
you've given us
311
00:14:45,051 --> 00:14:46,636
a lot to think about.
‐ Yeah.
312
00:14:46,636 --> 00:14:48,054
‐ I think
what I'd really love to do
313
00:14:48,054 --> 00:14:50,056
is get some of the guys
and go to Intramuros.
314
00:14:50,056 --> 00:14:52,725
‐ Just be very awareall the time
315
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,310
of potential booby traps.
316
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:56,604
And give my best regardsto your guys.
317
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:58,231
‐ Appreciate it, Chuck.
Thank you, sir.
318
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:00,483
I'll talk to you soon.
‐ Bye‐bye.
319
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:05,947
‐ Whoo. I mean, incredible,
320
00:15:05,947 --> 00:15:09,283
the fact that he was able
to identify Intramuros.
321
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:11,327
The amount of possibilities
it opens up for us,
322
00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:12,370
is huge,
323
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:13,371
I mean, when you're dealing
324
00:15:13,371 --> 00:15:14,831
with anything of this scale.
325
00:15:14,831 --> 00:15:16,415
We've been warned
we should be very careful
326
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:18,334
and our very lives
could be at risk.
327
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:24,048
‐ Narrator:Back on the mountain,
328
00:15:24,048 --> 00:15:26,843
unwanted attentionfrom local officials
329
00:15:26,843 --> 00:15:29,262
makes the teamrev up their efforts.
330
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,265
They're determinedto find treasure
331
00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:35,101
before someone elsebeats them to the punch.
332
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:37,770
‐ I do believe
that Yamashita's treasure
333
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:41,023
is in that cavity
underneath the waterfall
334
00:15:41,023 --> 00:15:43,192
and we just need to figure out
how to get it out.
335
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:46,320
‐ To find leads,
336
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,782
John and Rob returnto a second, smaller waterfall
337
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:51,159
they discovered earlier.
338
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:52,952
Based on the presenceof symbols,
339
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:55,663
like a gorilla face
340
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,748
and box markers,
341
00:15:57,748 --> 00:16:00,251
they believe this sitemight contain
342
00:16:00,251 --> 00:16:02,003
an underwater tunnel
343
00:16:02,003 --> 00:16:04,547
connecting to the void spacethey're trying to reach.
344
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:08,134
‐ Chuck:So if you look at the map,
345
00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:10,887
to me, that upside‐down U
346
00:16:10,887 --> 00:16:13,264
could be a tunnel entrancein the water.
347
00:16:14,682 --> 00:16:17,518
‐ Considering that this is
about the same elevation
348
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:20,813
as the chamber
underneath the waterfall,
349
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:25,109
I think it's a long shot,
but we should check it out.
350
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:27,361
‐ Narrator: They searchedthe water with a drone
351
00:16:27,361 --> 00:16:29,155
to look for the entrance.
352
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:32,575
‐ Just kind of zigzag
back and forth
353
00:16:32,575 --> 00:16:33,951
sort of along that base.
354
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:47,215
Holy crap.
‐ Look at that.
355
00:16:47,215 --> 00:16:48,549
‐ To the right
of the waterfall,
356
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:50,384
there's a little pocket
back in there,
357
00:16:50,384 --> 00:16:53,763
and that pocket
looks like craggly rocks
358
00:16:53,763 --> 00:16:56,182
that just look
like they've been blown open
359
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:57,683
or something was blown up
360
00:16:57,683 --> 00:16:59,894
to protect it,
hide it, or cover it up.
361
00:16:59,894 --> 00:17:01,354
And it could be signifying
362
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:03,272
that that was an entrance
into the mountain
363
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:04,690
and they blew it closed.
364
00:17:05,816 --> 00:17:07,235
‐ According to legend,
365
00:17:07,235 --> 00:17:09,570
after treasure wasburied in tunnels,
366
00:17:09,570 --> 00:17:13,866
General Yamashita orderedthe entrances destroyed...
367
00:17:14,951 --> 00:17:18,412
safely concealingthe contents inside.
368
00:17:18,412 --> 00:17:21,582
This fractured rockmay be the remnants
369
00:17:21,582 --> 00:17:23,334
of such an explosion.
370
00:17:23,334 --> 00:17:25,544
‐ All right,
look at that rock right there.
371
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:27,630
See all the choppy edges
and it looks broken up?
372
00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:29,298
‐ All of them do.
373
00:17:29,298 --> 00:17:34,053
‐ But the search yieldsnothing useful.
374
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:35,888
‐ I'm not seeing anything else.
375
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:38,140
I'm not seeing any openings.
376
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:44,146
There's nothing down there.
377
00:17:45,231 --> 00:17:47,066
‐ We're not gonna be able
to get in this way.
378
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,244
‐ Meanwhile,
379
00:17:58,244 --> 00:17:59,829
Rick continues combing
380
00:17:59,829 --> 00:18:01,247
throughthe Robert Curtis tapes.
381
00:18:01,247 --> 00:18:04,041
His goal‐‐find new locations
382
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:06,669
to searchfor Yamashita's treasure.
383
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:22,977
After hours of listening...
384
00:18:28,983 --> 00:18:32,069
...he finds the leadhe's been searching for.
385
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,020
‐ Curtis is identifying
386
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:08,230
several of the treasure sites.
387
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:10,191
He's also identifying
388
00:19:10,191 --> 00:19:12,818
a lot of the hidden landmarks
that are on those sites.
389
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:16,656
‐ The descriptionof a walled city
390
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:18,658
and the October 31 date
391
00:19:18,658 --> 00:19:22,411
line up with the mapBingo found of Intramuros.
392
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:24,246
But to get answers,
393
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:26,707
the team will have toinvestigate these sites
394
00:19:26,707 --> 00:19:27,833
in person.
395
00:19:29,335 --> 00:19:31,003
‐ Rick:
This could be what puts us
396
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:32,797
right on top of the gold.
397
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:41,472
‐ Bingo and Rick's researchinto additional treasure sites
398
00:19:41,472 --> 00:19:45,393
has uncovered leadsto two possible locations.
399
00:19:45,393 --> 00:19:49,105
While Rob continues to monitorthe horizontal drill,
400
00:19:49,105 --> 00:19:53,776
John, Levi, and Geotravel to investigate.
401
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:56,779
They hope to findnew places to search
402
00:19:56,779 --> 00:20:01,409
and proof that the markingson the map are accurate.
403
00:20:01,409 --> 00:20:03,452
‐ Between Chuck's maps
and the Curtis tapes,
404
00:20:03,452 --> 00:20:05,287
we have a lot of sites
that we can go look at.
405
00:20:05,287 --> 00:20:07,498
If we find one site
that's legitimate,
406
00:20:07,498 --> 00:20:10,126
it's gonna change
the whole ballgame.
407
00:20:10,126 --> 00:20:13,045
‐ Using the Bob Curtis audioas a guide,
408
00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:16,465
John exploresthe 17th century landmark
409
00:20:16,465 --> 00:20:19,260
San Augustin Churchin Manila.
410
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:22,513
‐ This site is knownas the six finger site.
411
00:20:22,513 --> 00:20:23,681
One particular painting,
412
00:20:23,681 --> 00:20:25,641
if you count the fingerson the hand,
413
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:28,686
you'll note that there isindeed six fingers.
414
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:33,399
‐ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
415
00:20:33,399 --> 00:20:34,942
‐ Narrator:According to Curtis,
416
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:36,861
the painting is a marker
417
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:39,572
pointing to a walled‐inportion of the church
418
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:41,574
where the treasurewas buried.
419
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:43,576
‐ There is an openingin the wall
420
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:45,953
that was all completelydisguised during the war.
421
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:49,915
The weather in Manila haspeeled off all of the plaster
422
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:53,419
and now exposedthe sealed chamber.
423
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:56,005
‐ It doesn't get
any more walled in than that.
424
00:20:56,005 --> 00:20:58,466
Between McDougald's maps
and the Curtis tapes,
425
00:20:58,466 --> 00:20:59,717
everything seems
to be checking out.
426
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:02,178
‐ Narrator: Meanwhile,
427
00:21:02,178 --> 00:21:04,889
inside the walled cityof Intramuros,
428
00:21:04,889 --> 00:21:08,601
Levi and Geo use Chuck's mapand the audiotapes
429
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:11,687
to head to an ancientcornerstone in the complex
430
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:14,523
knownas Baluarte de San Diego.
431
00:21:17,318 --> 00:21:19,028
‐ Wow. This place is huge.
432
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:23,532
‐ Curtis believessomewhere in these ruins
433
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:25,242
lies an inscription
434
00:21:25,242 --> 00:21:27,703
which could pointto a treasure deposit
435
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:28,913
buried at the site.
436
00:21:28,913 --> 00:21:30,164
‐ There is a cavern
437
00:21:30,164 --> 00:21:32,958
directly behinda series of concrete steps
438
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,502
that lead up to nowhere.
439
00:21:34,502 --> 00:21:36,504
‐ There's a bunch of stairs
leading to nowhere.
440
00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:38,380
Start looking for the date.
441
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:43,219
‐ And cut into this step,the date 10‐31‐1940.
442
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:46,263
That is a central pointwhere the map lines up.
443
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:57,858
‐ See that?
Look at that, Geo.
444
00:21:57,858 --> 00:22:00,027
10‐31‐40.
445
00:22:00,027 --> 00:22:01,195
‐ You found it.
446
00:22:01,195 --> 00:22:02,655
Wow.
447
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:04,323
‐ Narrator:Using the inscription
448
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,866
as a starting point,
449
00:22:05,866 --> 00:22:08,494
they follow the mapto a possible treasure site.
450
00:22:10,746 --> 00:22:12,498
‐ I think this is the spot.
451
00:22:12,498 --> 00:22:13,582
‐ You sure?
‐ I'm positive.
452
00:22:13,582 --> 00:22:14,959
Look at all that rubble.
453
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:17,545
There's no way we could possibly
ever do anything here, man.
454
00:22:17,545 --> 00:22:19,088
There's people everywhere.
455
00:22:19,088 --> 00:22:21,423
‐ I know, this is
a national monument here.
456
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:23,175
‐ Yeah. I think we just need
to get out of here.
457
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:24,552
This isn't worth our time,
man.
458
00:22:24,552 --> 00:22:26,303
We can't do anything with it.
‐ All right.
459
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:34,395
‐ After scoutingboth locations,
460
00:22:34,395 --> 00:22:36,313
they share their findings.
461
00:22:36,313 --> 00:22:38,232
‐ Any luck?
462
00:22:38,232 --> 00:22:41,068
‐ Well, you know,
we looked at a lot of maps,
463
00:22:41,068 --> 00:22:42,111
a lot of sites.
464
00:22:42,111 --> 00:22:43,612
I listened
to the Bob Curtis tape
465
00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:45,823
about St. Augustin Church.
466
00:22:45,823 --> 00:22:47,825
You know, looked like we
were in the right spot
467
00:22:47,825 --> 00:22:50,286
and someone had walled up
the section
468
00:22:50,286 --> 00:22:52,162
where we got to go down.
469
00:22:52,162 --> 00:22:53,873
We're not gonna get in there.
470
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:55,583
What are we gonna do,
break into a church?
471
00:22:55,583 --> 00:22:57,501
I mean,
that ain't gonna happen.
472
00:22:57,501 --> 00:22:58,586
‐ We were seeing
the same thing
473
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:00,004
in all the sites we went to.
474
00:23:00,004 --> 00:23:02,381
We found
a legitimate location
475
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:03,591
that, I mean, it matched up
476
00:23:03,591 --> 00:23:05,259
with the stuff
that Bob Curtis was saying.
477
00:23:05,259 --> 00:23:07,052
We were able
to line everything up.
478
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:09,013
The issue we had here was
479
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:11,557
it's right in the middle
of a national park.
480
00:23:11,557 --> 00:23:13,267
‐ Well, that tells me
that we've got our hands
481
00:23:13,267 --> 00:23:14,727
on some really good maps here.
482
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:16,395
Everything's lining up.
483
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:18,188
‐ And everything
Bob talked about in the tapes
484
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:19,690
is, like, right on the money.
485
00:23:19,690 --> 00:23:22,651
Every sign or clue
that he gave us in those tapes
486
00:23:22,651 --> 00:23:24,612
all lined up to what we saw,
487
00:23:24,612 --> 00:23:26,864
but access is nonexistent.
488
00:23:26,864 --> 00:23:28,699
All the places
we looked at so far
489
00:23:28,699 --> 00:23:30,075
looked pretty good,
490
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:31,160
but they're inaccessible
491
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,161
because of the places
they're at.
492
00:23:32,161 --> 00:23:33,871
We need to find
another location
493
00:23:33,871 --> 00:23:35,581
that gives us access.
494
00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:37,917
If we can do that,
it may lead us to treasure.
495
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:47,927
‐ Heartened by their trip,
496
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:50,846
the team returnsto good news.
497
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:53,015
After weeks of hard work,
498
00:23:53,015 --> 00:23:55,476
the drill isjust a few feet away
499
00:23:55,476 --> 00:23:58,437
from the target depthof 930 feet,
500
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:02,441
where they hope to intersecta treasure chamber.
501
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:05,486
‐ According to the survey data,
we are almost there,
502
00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:06,987
and this should
be the final push
503
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:08,322
to punch through.
504
00:24:08,322 --> 00:24:10,282
I can't wait to see
what's on the other side.
505
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,118
‐ After everything
we've been through,
506
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:14,787
it is almost impossible
to believe
507
00:24:14,787 --> 00:24:16,789
that we are actually
at this point.
508
00:24:19,083 --> 00:24:20,584
‐ This is it, Rob.
509
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:23,253
923.
510
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:27,925
925.
511
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:34,765
929.
512
00:24:38,268 --> 00:24:40,020
930.
513
00:24:43,565 --> 00:24:47,778
‐ The drill is now pastthe target depth of 930 feet,
514
00:24:47,778 --> 00:24:50,322
with no signsof hitting the chamber.
515
00:24:56,662 --> 00:24:58,330
‐ That's it?
We're at the end of the rod?
516
00:25:00,541 --> 00:25:01,959
‐ We still got water
coming out of there.
517
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:07,756
‐ Don't worry about it.
518
00:25:07,756 --> 00:25:09,633
We're close.
We're gonna hit it.
519
00:25:13,053 --> 00:25:14,221
‐ All right.
520
00:25:14,221 --> 00:25:16,056
Let's get another rod
on there, then.
521
00:25:16,056 --> 00:25:20,060
‐ The team extends the drillanother 10 feet.
522
00:25:20,060 --> 00:25:23,063
They're waiting for the waterlubricating the drill
523
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:24,481
to stop flowing,
524
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:26,734
a signthey've entered the void.
525
00:25:26,734 --> 00:25:30,070
‐ It's not a big deal.
Not stressing over it just yet.
526
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:31,405
Rob, on the other hand,
527
00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:34,283
he's just getting
a little antsy.
528
00:25:34,283 --> 00:25:36,452
‐ Anthony,
are you feeling anything?
529
00:25:37,828 --> 00:25:39,538
‐ It's the same?
530
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,707
Just keep watching
for that water to stop!
531
00:25:44,251 --> 00:25:46,587
‐ John's convinced
that we're still on track,
532
00:25:46,587 --> 00:25:50,215
but I'm honestly
extremely concerned.
533
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:52,968
There's a lot riding on this
drill hitting our target,
534
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:54,845
a lot riding on it.
535
00:25:54,845 --> 00:25:56,930
All I can think about
right now is‐‐
536
00:25:56,930 --> 00:25:58,307
is what it's gonna feel like
537
00:25:58,307 --> 00:26:00,142
to even show my face
to the team
538
00:26:00,142 --> 00:26:01,393
and have to tell them
539
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:03,145
that all this was
a major failure
540
00:26:03,145 --> 00:26:06,565
and that our one opportunity
to see this treasure
541
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:08,358
isn't happening here.
542
00:26:08,358 --> 00:26:10,903
All right,
I guess we keep going.
543
00:26:14,823 --> 00:26:17,618
‐ The team spendsthe next four hours
544
00:26:17,618 --> 00:26:19,745
drilling deeperinto the mountain.
545
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:27,878
But there's still no signof intersecting the void.
546
00:26:30,172 --> 00:26:31,507
‐ Something is wrong.
547
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:33,467
We can't just keep adding rods
and adding
548
00:26:33,467 --> 00:26:34,843
till we poke out
the other side of the mountain.
549
00:26:34,843 --> 00:26:37,221
There's got to be something
wrong with our coordinates.
550
00:26:37,221 --> 00:26:38,555
We would have hit it.
551
00:26:49,233 --> 00:26:51,944
‐ As tension mountsat the waterfall...
552
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,450
‐ Now we're
about 30 feet further
553
00:26:58,450 --> 00:27:00,035
than we should have been.
554
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:03,080
The original estimate
of the distance
555
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,373
has to be off.
556
00:27:04,373 --> 00:27:07,417
If it was, there's still
a chance we can hit it.
557
00:27:11,672 --> 00:27:13,340
‐ Down at basecamp,
558
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:15,467
the search for a newtreasure site
559
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,594
yields exciting news.
560
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:19,221
‐ Hey, Bingo. How are you?
561
00:27:19,221 --> 00:27:21,807
‐ Hey, Rick. I'm good.I got some news for you.
562
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:23,475
So I was taking a lookat a bunch of these maps,
563
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:25,185
and I think I've foundone in particular
564
00:27:25,185 --> 00:27:26,562
that's really interesting.
565
00:27:26,562 --> 00:27:28,063
Now, when Chuck gave usthe maps,
566
00:27:28,063 --> 00:27:29,439
the majorityof the ones he had
567
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:30,691
were photocopies,
568
00:27:30,691 --> 00:27:31,984
and he had two originals,
569
00:27:31,984 --> 00:27:32,985
this being one of them.
570
00:27:35,237 --> 00:27:36,905
Are these
the original maps here?
571
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:39,783
‐ Those two are
the original maps.
572
00:27:39,783 --> 00:27:42,327
‐ I've never seen
anything like this.
573
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:44,288
‐ These maps were confiscated
574
00:27:44,288 --> 00:27:46,874
from Philippine PresidentFerdinand Marcos's
575
00:27:46,874 --> 00:27:48,208
personal office
576
00:27:48,208 --> 00:27:51,879
when he was ousted from powerin 1986.
577
00:27:51,879 --> 00:27:55,007
It's possible this could bethe only existing map
578
00:27:55,007 --> 00:27:57,134
of this location
579
00:27:57,134 --> 00:28:00,721
and that any treasure hereremains unrecovered.
580
00:28:00,721 --> 00:28:02,306
‐ That's amazing, man.
581
00:28:02,306 --> 00:28:04,641
‐ Take a look at this map here.
582
00:28:04,641 --> 00:28:06,643
It's shaped pretty muchlike some sort of island.
583
00:28:06,643 --> 00:28:09,938
‐ Now, looking at this map,
it looks like an island.
584
00:28:09,938 --> 00:28:11,273
‐ So as you know,
585
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:12,065
the Philippines is made up
586
00:28:12,065 --> 00:28:14,943
of over 7,000 islands.
587
00:28:14,943 --> 00:28:16,862
I've been going through theseone by one.
588
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:20,449
I was lookingfor any indication at all
589
00:28:20,449 --> 00:28:21,700
that could leadto where in the Philippines
590
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,994
this corresponds to,
591
00:28:23,994 --> 00:28:27,372
trying to findas close a match as possible.
592
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:30,876
And this map here?
593
00:28:32,252 --> 00:28:34,755
I believe it looksa lot like Siargao Island.
594
00:28:34,755 --> 00:28:37,257
‐ Phenomenal find.
595
00:28:37,257 --> 00:28:39,551
‐ If you look at the featuresof the island here,
596
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:41,428
it has the sameteardrop shape,
597
00:28:41,428 --> 00:28:44,056
and then on the eastern sidethere's this inlet here
598
00:28:44,056 --> 00:28:46,266
which matches upto current maps today.
599
00:28:47,684 --> 00:28:49,061
‐ Look at that.
600
00:28:49,061 --> 00:28:50,729
‐ So look, this isa pretty remote island
601
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,564
far awayfrom any major cities,
602
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:54,650
700 miles from metro Manila,
603
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:57,569
so, I mean, if the Japanesewere using this island
604
00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:59,613
strategically,this is probably one
605
00:28:59,613 --> 00:29:01,365
of the most perfect placesto hide anything
606
00:29:01,365 --> 00:29:03,241
because it is so remote.
607
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:05,327
‐ Narrator:Its geographic location
608
00:29:05,327 --> 00:29:09,289
may be another reasonYamashita chose this island.
609
00:29:09,289 --> 00:29:12,376
Siargao Island is oneof the easternmost points
610
00:29:12,376 --> 00:29:13,585
in the Philippines,
611
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:16,630
a straight shot to Tokyo
612
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:19,675
that made the surreptitioustransportation of treasure
613
00:29:19,675 --> 00:29:20,926
much easier.
614
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:22,386
‐ Bingo:You know, Siargao Island,
615
00:29:22,386 --> 00:29:24,054
there's almost no mentionof it in history books.
616
00:29:24,054 --> 00:29:25,806
Why is that?I mean, could it be
617
00:29:25,806 --> 00:29:28,892
that maybe they werehiding something there?
618
00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:30,811
‐ Bingo,
this is incredible news.
619
00:29:30,811 --> 00:29:33,897
It could change everything
for us.
620
00:29:33,897 --> 00:29:37,693
There's a really good chance
that treasure's still there.
621
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:46,368
‐ Back at the waterfall,
622
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:47,869
everyone's on edge.
623
00:29:47,869 --> 00:29:50,080
The horizontal drillhas passed
624
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,791
the projected treasure chambertarget depth.
625
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:53,959
‐ Something is wrong.
626
00:29:53,959 --> 00:29:55,585
We can't just keep adding rods
and adding
627
00:29:55,585 --> 00:29:57,671
till we poke out
the other side of the mountain.
628
00:29:57,671 --> 00:29:59,423
‐ At this point you're not
gonna just back out
629
00:29:59,423 --> 00:30:00,590
and start over again.
630
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:09,182
‐ One theory isthat the drill is on target
631
00:30:09,182 --> 00:30:10,892
but the chamber has a dome
632
00:30:10,892 --> 00:30:14,271
and the angled ceiling iscausing the penetration point
633
00:30:14,271 --> 00:30:16,565
to be farther than expected.
634
00:30:16,565 --> 00:30:18,984
‐ One more isn't gonna hurt.
635
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:20,819
‐ I hope you're right.
636
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:22,154
‐ I hope so, too.
637
00:30:24,031 --> 00:30:27,325
‐ The team adds one more rodto the drill rig.
638
00:30:27,325 --> 00:30:30,454
If they don't hitthe void space soon,
639
00:30:30,454 --> 00:30:33,123
it could meana devastating end
640
00:30:33,123 --> 00:30:35,250
to their long roadon the mountain.
641
00:30:39,254 --> 00:30:40,589
‐ I'm really starting
to second guess
642
00:30:40,589 --> 00:30:42,632
whether our survey equipment
is right,
643
00:30:42,632 --> 00:30:44,718
whether Andrew is on spot,
644
00:30:44,718 --> 00:30:48,013
whether Max and Colin gave me
the right measurements.
645
00:30:48,013 --> 00:30:50,557
There's a lot of stuff
running through my mind.
646
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:53,602
‐ We've put another rod on,
647
00:30:53,602 --> 00:30:55,562
and I'm just watching
the drill go.
648
00:30:55,562 --> 00:30:58,565
At this point, I'm about
ready to call it quits.
649
00:30:58,565 --> 00:31:00,776
We're burning time,
we're burning money,
650
00:31:00,776 --> 00:31:03,361
and we're about 40 feet further
than we should have been.
651
00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:06,031
Actually hitting it would be
a miracle at this point.
652
00:31:26,468 --> 00:31:28,470
‐ The absence of water means
653
00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:31,973
they've finally reacheda void space.
654
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:36,103
The team is eager to seewhat's hidden inside.
655
00:31:36,103 --> 00:31:38,063
‐ This could be it.
656
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:39,439
Let's get the camera.
657
00:31:39,439 --> 00:31:41,566
Let's get it in there ASAP.
658
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:46,488
Andrew steered that drill
right on track,
659
00:31:46,488 --> 00:31:48,073
and we punched through now,
660
00:31:48,073 --> 00:31:49,407
and I want to see
what's in there.
661
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:58,583
‐ In the Philippine mountains,
662
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:00,001
at the waterfall...
663
00:32:11,263 --> 00:32:13,181
...hopeful they've reachedthe treasure vault
664
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:16,101
they've fought so hardto find,
665
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:18,728
the team races to look inside.
666
00:32:18,728 --> 00:32:20,397
‐ John: Let's get the camera.
667
00:32:20,397 --> 00:32:22,816
Let's get it in there ASAP.
668
00:32:22,816 --> 00:32:24,943
I mean, this could be it.
669
00:32:26,486 --> 00:32:28,280
This treasure could be
just around the corner.
670
00:32:30,991 --> 00:32:33,660
We got to shove that camera
down there almost 1,000 feet,
671
00:32:33,660 --> 00:32:36,121
and today I'm wondering
672
00:32:36,121 --> 00:32:37,622
whether I made
the right choice or not.
673
00:32:37,622 --> 00:32:40,125
I mean, I'm really
in anticipation
674
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:41,585
of what I might see in there.
675
00:32:45,088 --> 00:32:46,548
We got a long way to shove.
676
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:49,176
250.
677
00:32:51,011 --> 00:32:52,387
510.
678
00:32:52,387 --> 00:32:54,347
To go after
a Yamashita treasure
679
00:32:54,347 --> 00:32:56,266
and actually be successful‐‐
680
00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:57,601
nobody said it was
going to be easy,
681
00:32:57,601 --> 00:32:59,311
and it never is.
682
00:32:59,311 --> 00:33:01,605
You know, this is seriously
one of the last
683
00:33:01,605 --> 00:33:04,357
great mysteries of the world
to be solved.
684
00:33:04,357 --> 00:33:07,819
Seeing the treasure, you know,
I'm gonna be part of history.
685
00:33:09,237 --> 00:33:10,572
775.
686
00:33:12,741 --> 00:33:14,242
900.
687
00:33:14,242 --> 00:33:15,827
70 feet to go.
688
00:33:17,412 --> 00:33:18,663
There's the end coming.
689
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:32,135
Pitch black.
690
00:33:34,638 --> 00:33:36,640
‐ Rob: This room is really big.
691
00:33:38,058 --> 00:33:39,935
‐ How much you got
in there now?
692
00:33:39,935 --> 00:33:42,646
‐ 13, 14 feet.
693
00:33:42,646 --> 00:33:44,022
‐ I still see nothing.
694
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:45,023
‐ Hold on, hold on.
There's something right there.
695
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:53,365
‐ What is that?
696
00:33:53,365 --> 00:33:54,950
‐ It's the edge of something.
697
00:33:56,743 --> 00:33:58,328
‐ Could be the edge of a box.
698
00:33:58,328 --> 00:34:00,580
We're, like, looking down
on the edge of it.
699
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:03,416
What I'm seeing
in the camera right now
700
00:34:03,416 --> 00:34:05,877
is unmistakably
manmade objects.
701
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:08,380
The camera's picking up
a smooth, flat surface
702
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:09,839
with squared edges.
703
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:12,050
You know, that's just not,
natural.
704
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,386
What's next to it?
‐ Rob: Hold on. Let me see.
705
00:34:14,386 --> 00:34:16,179
‐ It looks like another one
laying up against it
706
00:34:16,179 --> 00:34:17,722
on the top side.
707
00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:18,848
‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah,
708
00:34:18,848 --> 00:34:20,934
but it definitely looks
like boxes.
709
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:26,731
Yeah. Two boxes.
710
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,316
You gotta get up here,you gotta see this.
711
00:34:28,316 --> 00:34:30,110
‐ What do you got?
712
00:34:30,110 --> 00:34:32,279
‐ The rest of the teamraces over
713
00:34:32,279 --> 00:34:33,697
to see for themselves.
714
00:34:33,697 --> 00:34:36,241
‐ Come on in there, George.
715
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:40,954
‐ Geo: Is that what
I think it is?
716
00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:43,623
‐ I can't believe
you guys hit it, man.
717
00:34:43,623 --> 00:34:46,293
‐ Rick, Steve, get in here.
You guys got to see this.
718
00:34:46,293 --> 00:34:47,877
‐ My gosh.
719
00:34:50,213 --> 00:34:51,464
‐ Geo: You seeing that?
720
00:34:51,464 --> 00:34:53,591
‐ Dude, that's incredible.
721
00:34:53,591 --> 00:34:55,760
I think we've hit
the treasure vault.
722
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,178
I think we're there.
723
00:34:57,178 --> 00:34:59,347
You know, I've been waiting
longer than anybody
724
00:34:59,347 --> 00:35:02,100
to see something like this.
725
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,893
You did it, man.
You got in there.
726
00:35:03,893 --> 00:35:06,229
‐ We got in there.
‐ Unbelievable.
727
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:10,358
‐ Maybe what we're looking at
is just empty boxes.
728
00:35:10,358 --> 00:35:11,443
I don't know.
729
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:12,652
But I do know,
730
00:35:12,652 --> 00:35:14,112
based on all the information
that we had
731
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:15,947
in drilling to this location,
732
00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:18,491
that we are underneath
that waterfall
733
00:35:18,491 --> 00:35:20,994
300 feet down
into this void space.
734
00:35:20,994 --> 00:35:22,078
We made it there,
735
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:23,413
and now we got to figure out
736
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:25,290
how do we get in there.
737
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:27,876
‐ The wooden boxesthey're seeing
738
00:35:27,876 --> 00:35:30,253
resemblethe ammunition crates
739
00:35:30,253 --> 00:35:31,630
filled with war loot
740
00:35:31,630 --> 00:35:34,758
American GIs recoveredfollowing World War II.
741
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,887
This huge discoverylines up with the evidence
742
00:35:38,887 --> 00:35:40,305
they've gatheredalong the way‐‐
743
00:35:41,723 --> 00:35:45,435
an NMR scan that detectedunderground metal deposits...
744
00:35:47,604 --> 00:35:50,357
a seismic scanthat located a void space
745
00:35:50,357 --> 00:35:53,318
300 feet below the waterfall,
746
00:35:53,318 --> 00:35:54,903
and a map indicating
747
00:35:54,903 --> 00:35:57,489
possible treasureon their mountain.
748
00:35:57,489 --> 00:36:00,867
‐ That's an indicatorthat that could be treasure.
749
00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:03,328
‐ Narrator:All seems to confirm
750
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:04,871
they found the boxes
751
00:36:04,871 --> 00:36:07,707
their local eyewitnessGrandpa claimed to have seen
752
00:36:07,707 --> 00:36:11,795
carried up the mountainover 75 years ago.
753
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:20,470
It's the breakthroughJohn's dreamed of.
754
00:36:20,470 --> 00:36:21,805
‐ This day has certainly been
755
00:36:21,805 --> 00:36:23,223
one of the biggest moments
of my life.
756
00:36:23,223 --> 00:36:25,058
All the hard work
that we've put into it.
757
00:36:25,058 --> 00:36:29,187
Everybody on the team has put
their 150% into this job,
758
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:31,398
and now
the fruition is right here.
759
00:36:31,398 --> 00:36:35,110
‐ But their celebrationis short‐lived.
760
00:36:37,195 --> 00:36:39,864
‐ You guys hear that?
761
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:41,950
That sounds like a big
helicopter, don't it?
762
00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:44,869
There it is.
763
00:36:46,204 --> 00:36:48,123
Coming up through
the trees right now.
764
00:36:50,709 --> 00:36:52,210
‐ Levi: Man, they're close.
765
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:53,503
‐ Steve:
Somebody knows we're here.
766
00:36:53,503 --> 00:36:54,713
‐ Rob: They must.
767
00:36:54,713 --> 00:36:56,673
There's two of them.
768
00:36:56,673 --> 00:36:59,592
‐ My gosh, they are looking
right down here at us.
769
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:02,429
‐ That ain't good.
770
00:37:02,429 --> 00:37:04,222
‐ Just spooks the crap
out of me.
771
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:05,765
Um, I don't know
who these people are.
772
00:37:05,765 --> 00:37:07,726
I don't know
what they're up to.
773
00:37:07,726 --> 00:37:09,436
But they know what we're up to,
774
00:37:09,436 --> 00:37:11,271
and that really bothers me.
775
00:37:17,694 --> 00:37:19,237
‐ You did it, man.
You got in there.
776
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:21,906
‐ We got in there.
‐ Unbelievable.
777
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:23,867
‐ Blood, sweat, and tears,
and a lot of stress.
778
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:26,911
‐ At the waterfall site,
779
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:28,955
the team is elated.
780
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:31,249
‐ I can't believe
you guys hit it, man.
781
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:33,835
‐ After five grueling months,
782
00:37:33,835 --> 00:37:37,630
they have found solid evidenceof possible treasure.
783
00:37:43,219 --> 00:37:47,015
But their euphoriaturns quickly to concern
784
00:37:47,015 --> 00:37:51,019
when they realize they areback under surveillance.
785
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:02,781
‐ That ain't good.
786
00:38:04,157 --> 00:38:06,284
‐ I don't know what we found
in the void space,
787
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:08,787
but we definitely have
a lot of unwanted attention.
788
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:10,997
‐ The team feels new urgency
789
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:13,124
to find a wayinto the mountain
790
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:15,585
to retrievethe mysterious boxes.
791
00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:18,254
‐ Hell,
we need to get this done
792
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:19,589
fast and efficiently.
793
00:38:19,589 --> 00:38:21,049
You guys have any ideas?
794
00:38:22,383 --> 00:38:24,511
‐ Tunnel or shaft?
‐ I say tunnel.
795
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:28,097
‐ You guys agree?
‐ Absolutely, man.
796
00:38:28,097 --> 00:38:29,140
‐ Let's go for it.
797
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:30,433
‐ Do it.
‐ Let's do it.
798
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:36,356
‐ Back at basecamp,
799
00:38:36,356 --> 00:38:39,359
the team discussestheir options.
800
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:41,945
‐ At this point,
the best thing we can do
801
00:38:41,945 --> 00:38:44,697
is tunnel
right into the waterfall.
802
00:38:44,697 --> 00:38:46,324
‐ It's gonna take
some heavy explosive
803
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:49,285
to do that if we want
to get in there quickly.
804
00:38:49,285 --> 00:38:51,454
‐ Using the bore holeas a guide...
805
00:38:51,454 --> 00:38:52,705
‐ Straighten it up
a little bit.
806
00:38:52,705 --> 00:38:55,500
‐ The plan is to dig a tunnel
807
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:58,503
930 feet to the void space,
808
00:38:58,503 --> 00:39:00,505
a herculean effort
809
00:39:00,505 --> 00:39:02,340
that will requiremore machinery,
810
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,758
more manpower,
811
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,468
and more time.
812
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:09,681
‐ This is gonna be
a lot bigger job,
813
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,349
and we have to get
all new equipment in here.
814
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:13,518
‐ The preparation
for recovery right now‐‐
815
00:39:13,518 --> 00:39:15,353
Levi, Geo, and myself‐‐
816
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,355
we're working on the way
into the mountain
817
00:39:17,355 --> 00:39:19,357
and everything
it's gonna take to do that.
818
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:21,359
‐ The rock's a lot different.
819
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:22,902
We're gonna have to get
bigger compressors.
820
00:39:22,902 --> 00:39:25,113
We're gonna be running
two jacklegs at a time.
821
00:39:25,113 --> 00:39:27,907
We're gonna need
more ventilation.
822
00:39:27,907 --> 00:39:29,742
‐ The list just goes
on and on.
823
00:39:29,742 --> 00:39:35,081
We need steel. We need pipe.
We need explosives.
824
00:39:35,081 --> 00:39:36,916
‐ Rick:
The logistics is on Rob.
825
00:39:36,916 --> 00:39:38,251
He's ordering everything.
826
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:40,211
‐ How soon do you think
I can get that?
827
00:39:40,211 --> 00:39:42,672
‐ We've been looking
for months
828
00:39:42,672 --> 00:39:44,549
trying to find
a traditional way in,
829
00:39:44,549 --> 00:39:46,509
but now we're gonna be
able to go for it.
830
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:50,388
‐ Since it will take time
831
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:51,723
to assemblethe equipment needed
832
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:53,683
to tunnel into the void,
833
00:39:53,683 --> 00:39:56,686
John decides to explorealternative sites.
834
00:39:56,686 --> 00:39:57,937
‐ I think it's important
835
00:39:57,937 --> 00:39:59,772
that we work
on multiple locations
836
00:39:59,772 --> 00:40:01,733
so we have the best chance
for success
837
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:03,401
from any one of the locations.
838
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:06,613
There are a lot of treasures
still left here.
839
00:40:06,613 --> 00:40:08,406
‐ Based on the originaltreasure map
840
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:10,116
uncovered by Bingo,
841
00:40:10,116 --> 00:40:11,951
he believesthe best new option
842
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:13,912
is Siargao Island.
843
00:40:13,912 --> 00:40:15,705
‐ So look, this isa pretty remote island
844
00:40:15,705 --> 00:40:17,457
far awayfrom any major cities.
845
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:20,793
I think, if the Japanese wereusing this strategically,
846
00:40:20,793 --> 00:40:22,670
this is probably oneof the most perfect places
847
00:40:22,670 --> 00:40:24,464
to hide anythingbecause it is so remote.
848
00:40:26,215 --> 00:40:28,551
‐ Narrator:After traveling to Siargao,
849
00:40:28,551 --> 00:40:30,094
the team follows the map...
850
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:32,597
‐ I think this is
a network of tunnels.
851
00:40:32,597 --> 00:40:35,516
‐ ...to what seemedthe most promising site
852
00:40:35,516 --> 00:40:38,478
and makea thrilling discovery.
853
00:40:38,478 --> 00:40:40,647
‐ John:
Looks like a bird marker.
854
00:40:40,647 --> 00:40:42,607
‐ We've got those circles
on this map
855
00:40:42,607 --> 00:40:45,443
that look just like
that little circle right there.
856
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:47,153
‐ If they can find anything,
857
00:40:47,153 --> 00:40:50,323
this new location could meana fresh chance
858
00:40:50,323 --> 00:40:54,118
to find Yamashita's treasure.
859
00:40:54,118 --> 00:40:55,578
‐ John: We have the best team,
860
00:40:55,578 --> 00:40:56,788
the best technology.
861
00:40:58,498 --> 00:41:00,625
After two years of looking
for this treasure...
862
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:02,961
‐ What's that?
‐ Hang on. Let me get closer.
863
00:41:02,961 --> 00:41:04,921
‐ ...I'm more certain
than ever
864
00:41:04,921 --> 00:41:07,256
that we have the best chance
of getting to it.
865
00:41:07,256 --> 00:41:08,633
‐ Rick: What is that?
866
00:41:08,633 --> 00:41:10,969
‐ John:
That's the symbol for gold!
867
00:41:10,969 --> 00:41:14,055
That means that gold is gonna
be anywhere in there.
868
00:41:14,055 --> 00:41:17,266
One way or the other,
I will recover that treasure,
869
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:18,643
come hell or high water.
870
00:41:18,643 --> 00:41:20,436
‐ Levi: Yeah, man, let's do it.
‐ Geo: Yeah.
871
