SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE HAVE THE WEIGHT

IN THE BACK TO KEEP US DOWN.

Narrator: TO GET MAXIMUM THRUST
FROM THE PROPELLERS,

THEY NEED THE STERN OF
THE TUGBOAT DEEPER IN THE WATER.

JUAN HAS A RADICAL SOLUTION.

SEEMS A LITTLE ODD THAT WE'RE
FLOODING THE BACK OF A BOAT.

YOU WOULD THINK YOU WANT TO KEEP
WATER OUT OF A BOAT,

BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING WATER
IN THE BOAT

TO TRY TO GET AS MUCH WEIGHT
AS WE CAN IN THE BACK

TO KEEP THE PROPS IN THE WATER.

YEAH, IT'S A LOT BETTER NOW
WITH THE LOAD SITTING IN FRONT

AND GETTING ALL THAT
[BLEEP] WORKED OUT.

THE ASS END'S
SITTING MUCH LOWER.

PROPS WORK BETTER WHEN
THEY'RE IN THE ACTUAL WATER.

OH, [BLEEP] YEAH.

WE GOT THE BARGE
IN FRONT OF THE KID,

HEADING UP THE RIVER RIGHT NOW.

♪♪

♪♪

I GOT HER RUNNING AT 1,600 RPMs.

SHE'S DOING 4 MILES,
AND THAT'S IN MAIN CURRENT.

NOW WE'RE PICKING UP SPEED.

IF WE KEEP GOING AT THIS RATE,
WE'LL BE HAPPIEST --

QUITE HAPPY, ACTUALLY.

Juan: YEAH, WE'RE ALMOST
5 MILES AN HOUR RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S PRETTY,
PRETTY DECENT NOW.

THAT'S ACTUALLY
IMPRESSING ME.

♪♪

SO HOPEFULLY THE TRIP UP TO
THISTLE IS ALL SUCCESSFUL,

AND WE CAN START PULLING
MORE PIECES OUT FASTER

WITH THE TWO BOATS.

BETTER.

It's going
much faster now --

ROUGHLY 5 MILES AN HOUR
STEADY.

I'M GOOD.

Mike: NOW THAT WE HAVE
TWO BARGES GOING,

GETTING DREDGE OUT OF THIS
THISTLE WON'T TAKE [BLEEP] LONG.

RIGHT NOW, WE'RE TRYING TO GET
ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT

UP AND RUNNING.

THE GUYS ARE COMPLAINING
ABOUT THIS DOZER,

SAYING IT'S GOT NO POWER,

SO JUST TAKING
A LOOK AT IT HERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

'CAUSE EVERYTHING
IN HERE LOOKS GOOD.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST
TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T FIND ANYTHING,
YOU TELL THEM THAT YOU DID.

THEY JUMP BACK IN AND SAY,
"OH, YEAH, MAN.

THIS THING'S PERFECT.
WAY BETTER, RIGHT?"

IT'S JUST THE OLD
MIND OVER MATTER,

BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING
TOO OUT OF PLACE HERE.

WELL, I THINK WE GOT
EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF HERE,

SO IT'S TIME TO FIRE THIS DOZER
UP AND PUT IT BACK TO WORK.

GAH-GAH-GAH-GAH, UNH!
AHHHHHHHHH!

DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN, AHH!

IT'S RUNNING A LITTLE ROUGH,
BUT IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

[ LAUGHS ]

WELL, THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME
OF THE WEEK.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS.

Narrator: NOT EVEN HALFWAY
THROUGH THE SEASON,

RICK'S ALREADY MINED
MORE GOLD THAN PARKER

OR THE HOFFMANS MANAGED
IN THEIR ROOKIE SEASONS.

WHAT A HELL OF A WEEK IT WAS,
THOUGH, MAN.

HOLY [BLEEP].

WELL, I SAW THAT BERM
READY TO GO.

I MEAN, THANK GOD
WE CAUGHT IT WHEN WE DID.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I MEAN, IF THAT
HAD FILLED OUR CUT WITH WATER,

WE'D HAVE A HELL OF A MESS
ON OUR HANDS.

ONE OF THE WORST THINGS
ABOUT THIS WEEK --

I [BLEEP]
BROKE THE EXCAVATOR.

HMM.

I WAS CROSSING THE DITCH,

AND RATHER THAN
FILL THE DITCH,

I THOUGHT I COULD
JUST HOP OVER IT, AND...

-OOH, SHOWING OFF.
-NO, I WASN'T SHOWING OFF.

Rick: I WAS JUST TRYING TO
CROSS THE DAMN DITCH.

OOH! THAT'S HOW
THE DOORS GOT BENT.

-THAT'S HOW THE DOOR GOT BENT.
-THE TRUTH COMES OUT NOW.

YEAH, I THINK I MADE AN
EVEL KNIEVEL THING AS I DID IT.

ENOUGH OF ME
WRECKING EQUIPMENT.

MY FAVORITE THING IS
WHAT WE GOT OUT OF IT, THOUGH.

-OOH.
-NICE.

SO WE ALL KNOW THAT THESE JARS
HOLD ABOUT 100 OUNCES,

AND IT'S NOT 100,
BUT, YOU KNOW,

WITH WHAT WE DEALT WITH
THIS WEEK, I'M PRETTY HAPPY.

I MEAN, WE COULD BE
LOOKING AT NO GOLD RIGHT NOW.

I FIND IT HARD TO COMPLAIN

WHEN I'M HOLDING ONTO
A JAR OF GOLD.

EXACTLY.

LET'S WEIGH UP THIS GOLD.
HERE WE GO.

Narrator:
TO HIT HIS 1,000-OUNCE,
$1.2 MILLION TARGET,

RICK NEEDS AT LEAST
57 OUNCES EVERY WEEK.

Rick:
50, BIG JUMP, 60.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

-NICE
-AND THE BIG WINNER IS...

-AHHHH.
-WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT?

Rick: 77.3.

Narrator:
WORTH OVER $90,000,

THIS BRINGS RICK'S SEASON TOTAL
TO 210 OUNCES --

A QUARTER OF $1 MILLION.

-PUT IT IN.
-YEAH.

ONE, TWO, THREE...
All: WHAMMY!

ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU GUYS IN A MINUTE.

Rick: YEAH.
WE HAD A TOUGH WEEK.

WE GOT THROWN A LOT
OF CURVE BALLS,

BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE NAME
OF THE GAME UP HERE.

YOU GOT TO ADAPT.

WE TURNED IN 77 OUNCES
IN A PRETTY TERRIBLE WEEK.

I'M HAPPY WITH IT.

I'M PROUD OF MY CREW,
AS ALWAYS,

AND I'M PROUD OF
THOSE 77 OUNCES,

BUT WE NEED TO
KEEP DOING THAT EVERY WEEK.

♪♪

WHAT'S UP, GUYS?

Narrator: NEARLY HALFWAY
THROUGH THE SEASON,

PARKER ONLY HAS 12%
OF HIS 6,000-OUNCE,

$7.2 MILLION GOAL.

WEIRD WEEK OF WEATHER.

-YEAH. SUMMER'S GONE.
-SCREWED US UP A LITTLE BIT.

-BIG TIME.
-I WAS, LIKE, OFF IN LA-LA LAND.

WE WERE RUNNING EVERYTHING BUT
DIRT THROUGH THOSE WASH PLANTS,

BUT APPARENTLY THERE WAS
A LOT OF GOLD IN IT.

WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING,
YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW
IF I'D GO THAT FAR.

[ LAUGHTER ]

-CHRIS, GOT SOME GOLD FOR US?
-THERE YOU GO.

WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER PAN OF
THIS [BLEEP] SOMEWHERE, RIGHT?

YEAH. WE GOT ANOTHER ONE.
YOU WANT ANOTHER ONE?

-YEAH.
-YOU WANT THEM BOTH?

YEAH!

I WAS KIND OF HOPING
I COULD KEEP THIS ONE.

OH, YEAH!
THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE.

-MAN, THAT'S TWO NICE PANS.
-YEAH.

IT'S NICE HAVING TWO PLANTS
RUNNING, THAT'S FOR SURE.

YEAH.

Mitch: THIS IS LOOKING MORE
LIKE LAST YEAR.

-YEAH.
-YEAH.

WE'RE AT 737 NOW,
SO THIS SHOULD HELP OUT.

LET'S JUST TAKE THE 737
AND GO TO VEGAS.

YOU PUT YOURS ON RED.
I'LL PUT...

[ LAUGHTER ]

AND THEN WE'LL WATCH
DOUBLE ZERO COME UP,

AND WE'LL HAVE TO
COME BACK UP HERE BROKE.

LAST TIME WE WERE IN VEGAS,
MY WIFE WAS PLAYING A MACHINE.

SHE WAS SO EXCITED.

END OF THE NIGHT,
SHE BROKE EVEN, AND I TOLD HER,

"WELL, BABY,
THAT'S A CHANGE MACHINE."

[ LAUGHTER ]

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE
WHAT WE'VE GOT AT BIG RED.
