Hey Dustin, so what are you
seeing right now, man?

I'm about few inches
past right now.

[narrator] Winter is closing
in on Nugget Creek.

Dustin Hurt battles conditions
few divers would risk,

in an attempt
to save his season.

[Dustin] What the [bleep]?

I'm through.

What's going on
with my suction?

Water looks good
from this side. Uh, I hope
we didn't break it again.

I feel cursed here.

This can't be.
It's not happening, man.

- This creek hates Dustin man.
- It does. It absolutely does.

[Dustin] Kinda wonder
if shouldn't just
[bleep] call it.

It's not Dustin's day
for a dive.

You wanna call it?

This is freakin' unbelievable.

I'm exhausted.

We've been working so hard,
our bodies are starting
to give out on us.

You've got to be kidding me.

Yep, that's gold!
Holy [bleep],
there's gold there.

- What the hell?
- Gold, gold.

- Oh my [bleep].
- Holy moly.

Ooh, doggie!

- Look at that.
- Awesome.

[man] Holy [bleep] man.

[Dustin] This might turn
around for us.

- Wow look at that.
- [everyone laughing]

[Dustin] We got a giant
boulder hanging over our head.

It's terrifying.

Here's that current.

- Oh, shoot.
- Justin.

- Stop. [bleep]
- Oh [bleep].

We're getting
all flooded right now,
but we're gonna dredge anyway.

We're gonna push it
to the limits now.

Better not be feeling bad
and you're just gonna tell me
you feel okay.

I'll yank you out
of the water.

- I'm seeing gold, guys.
[laughs]
- Yeah.

[everyone cheering]

I knew there was gold in here.

- We got gold!
- [everyone] Yeah!

[bleep] Right, man! Hell yeah.

So, it rained all yesterday.
It never let up.

- All night.
- All night.

And now it's raining harder,
this morning.

[narrator] Dustin has invested
everything he has
in Nugget Creek.

But three quarters of the way
through this season

with snow already falling
on the mountains above,

he's still struggling
to find gold

on what could be Alaska's
toughest claim.

We're still gonna get ready
for a dive.

See if we can get that done.

Absolutely.

- We could be getting close
to the bottom.
- That's true.

If this creek is only
7 to 12 feet deep

we might only have another
two feet to go.

We're so close
to being right there.

- Well, every time it floods
it changes the whole...
- It changes completely.

- ...features of that spot.
- Yeah.

If we don't have that again,
we shouldn't have an issue.

So we'll go out,
assess the situation,
then we'll figure it out.

Let's go see if we can get
in the water.

[narrator] Time is running out

and there's almost
no gold to show
for their work.

Let's go see
what it looks like up there.

[narrator] Both crews
need to get diving,
whatever the conditions.

[Kayla] We don't have
that much time left.

We need to start
seeing some progress.

I don't know how this rain
is gonna act the rest
of the day

- and if the water is gonna
come up more, but...
- Yeah.

...a little work is better
than no work.

[narrator] It's not just
the weather Kayla's crew
will be battling.

You know what,
let's have it out. You wanna
use your own [bleep],

- use your own [bleep].
- How about you [bleep]
go back to camp.

[bleep] Work my ass off.

[narrator] A week ago,

tension between Kayla
and three season veteran Scott
proved too much.

It's time.

[Scott] Time for me
to go home.

So we'll get that dredge
fired up

- to get you in the water.
- Okay.

[narrator]
Down to a crew of three
and in brutal conditions,

Kayla is forced to use
a single dredge.

Newest recruit Justin
is diving, and once again
in the spotlight.

End of season coming,
the pressure is on
for all us to find the gold.

But, you know,

we got to work through this.

I just want to do the best
I can for everyone here.

We're a man down now.

It's only the three of us
and it's kinda
my time to shine.

This is probably
the longest stint
I've worked this hard for

and not seen anything
quite yet.

Since we're down up
here remember now,

everybody has to step it up
including Justin.

He's gonna have
to learn a lot quicker
than he has been learning.

Because we still have to get
just as much work done
with less people.

- All right,
how does that feel?
- Feels good.

- Then I think
you're good to go.
- All right.

All right.

All right.

How is it looking down there?

[Justin] I'm in the current
so I can't see
diddly squat here.

The rain has got everything
a little bit screwed up
right now.

But since we've still got
a lot of material, we're gonna
make some headway.

[Justin] All right,
let's get into it.

I wanna make some progress.

[narrator] On their last dive
Kayla's crew got down
to seven feet deep.

Battling the current,
Justin needs to remove
the rocks

that have been swept into
the hole then push on down
through the last three feet

towards bedrock gold.

I'm starting to find
some good-sized pieces.

You want the basket?

Yeah, if we can get
a few more feet this way.

[grunts] Got that one good.

- Sounds like he has
water in his mask.
- It does.

You got a bit of water
in your mask?

[Justin] Yeah, I caught
that current.

[Kayla] Okay, you gotta
tell us these things.

Try not get your back
to the water, that lifts
your mask out.

Head on.

Just take some real hard
breaths out
and it should clear it.

[Kayla] There are still a few
hiccups that we have
to get past with him.

I can definitely tell
that he doesn't as much
fast water experience

as Paul or I have.

- [Justin breathing heavy]
- [Kayla] How's your air?

[Justin] The air is getting
kinda slow. It takes a bit
of a pull to get in.

[Kayla] You look really red.
You look like a tomato.

- I'm like a tomato?
- Yeah, you're red.

Feeling all right?

I feel all right.

Are you sure? You look like
you got sunburnt super bad.

[narrator] Justin's red face
might be from fighting
the fierce current.

Or he could be suffering
from the early stages
of hypoxia,

or lack of oxygen.

[Kayla] You better not
be feeling bad and you're just
gonna play it off

and tell me you feel okay.

- No, I'm not.
- I'll yank you out
of the water.

[narrator] Hypoxia
can cause confusion
and poor coordination.

If prolonged it can lead
to brain damage or death.

[Paul] Your face is just about
as red as your dive suit.

- [Justin] Really?
- [Paul] Yeah.

I have to pull
really hard.

- You need me
to adjust your air?
- I, maybe.

Now you guys got me
all concerned.

Luckily we have a little valve
inside the regulator
that we can adjust,

give him a little bit
more air.

- How does that? Take a breath.
- [Justin breathes deep]

About the same.

Really? I've got it opened up
pretty good right now.

[Paul] Unless our pop-off
valve is starting to go bad.

I think our pop-off valve
is no good,
that's not much pressure.

When that pop-off valve
wears out

it becomes a lot lighter
so it'll let the air come out

without building up the proper
pressure that we need

and I think that's
what our issue is.

[narrator] The pop-off valve
is part of the compressor
on the dredge

which supplies air
to the diver.

The spring in the pop-off
valve is only meant to open

when the pressure
in the diver's air tank
exceeds 50 PSI.

But it's been opening
at a far lower pressure.

Meaning there's almost
no air in the tank
for Justin to breathe.

So, at that low pressure

you take a few deep breaths,
well you've already expended

all the air that
the compressor has made.

[narrator] Paul switches
out the valve.

[Paul] How does that feel?

- [Paul] That feel easier
on the breath?
- [Justin laughs] Yeah.

That was our problem.

That sounds
so much better already.

All right, I think you're good
to go then.

[Justin] All right,
back to it.

[Justin] I think that's
just ready to go.

He's pretty close
to back where I left off.

He can continue
to open the hole up.

So far so good.

[Justin] All right,
we'll have to throw
another basket.

[narrator] Down at Golden Gate
Dustin and his crew

are also forced to contend
with the raging flood waters.

We're getting all flooded
right now, but we're gonna
dredge anyway.

[narrator] And with
a 1,000-pound boulder

teetering above
their dive site...

I'm gonna get suited up.

Going underneath
that damn thing man,
that's freakin' terrifying.

[narrator] ...today's dive
just got a lot riskier

for Marine Sergeant
Carlos Minor.

I'm excited.
I'm trying to think about this
as a successful dive.

I can get gold and move
a lot of boulders,

come out safely.

Got to take care
of the family.

We're gonna see
if Carlos can dive today.

[Dustin] Hopefully,
he will find us some gold.

We really need it.

Well, we had a lot more rain
last night, we got
some flooding situations.

But we're getting so close
to the gold that we're gonna
push it to the limits now.

Just go as deep as you can
right here, man.

- Yeah.
- You know what to do.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

Check air.

[inhales]

How you feeling, man?

- Good.
- Pretty good.

All right,
time to go under water.

All right.

Let's see what we got.

Definitely feel there's
some kitty litter.

I better dredge
as much as I can.

Sounds like there's a bunch
of kitty litter filled in
the hole a little bit.

Just workin' on that.

[grunts]

Hopefully, he gets
to the rust layer I was in.

Wes, can you
bring that basket up
a little bit more please?

You got it.

[Carlos] All right,
there we go. That's good.
Thank you, sir.

Hitting the red rocks, fellas.

- Looking good.
- I think we got into
the red layer already.

Anyone that's ever found gold
here talks about relating
this red material to gold.

[narrator] Dustin invested
every cent he had
on Nugget Creek.

And a few weeks ago,

afraid he was never going
to see a return
on his investment...

- Hey, Al.
- How's it been going up there?

Wet. We've flooding
every week.

[narrator] ...he sought expert
advice, from the man who sold
him the claim, Al Gilliam.

When you get close
to bedrock, you're gonna
find a layer

of rusted and reddish color.
Get through that clay,

this is what you gonna find.

- [laughs]
- [Dustin] It's awesome.

He has dug straight down,
he found red material.

You can see
some of these rocks
are just solid red.

[groans] Ah [bleep].

I got this big
marble boulder.

[man] You... [bleep]
That doesn't look good.

[narrator] On their last dive
at around six feet deep,

James began to find
the first hints
of the fabled red layer

they're convinced
yields big gold.

But the way is blocked
by a large marble boulder,

which Carlos has to snare
to get any deeper.

[Carlos] Now, the tricky part
is I don't know if this
can handle it.

One way to find out.

[Carlos] Let's do it.
Let's find out. [laughs]

[Carlos] Okay Wes, let's pull.

[narrator] Carlos snares
the marble boulder.

[Carlos] I don't know
if it's gonna hold
or not, man.

[narrator] Now they could be
one pull away from a payday.

Come on baby.

Keep on pushing.

[bleep]

Come on. [grunts]

Looks like you got it.

[Carlos] That's beautiful.
Yeah.

- [Carlos] Woo.
- [Dustin] You can see
the rust underneath it.

- [Dustin] Look at that.
- [Carlos] Yeah.

- [Carlos] Good job, Wes.
- [Dustin] That's sitting
on a rust pack.

[Carlos] Woo hoo. We're gonna
get gold today, guys.

[Carlos] Yeah,
that's another layer.

It's breaking up.

Next thing after that is gold,
so it should be there.

[Carlos] So I'll get
all that red out.

- Well, your sluice box
has turned very red.
- Woo.

Look at that [bleep]
comin' out.

[Carlos] There you go.
[laughs]

[Carlos] I got a bunch
of branches kicking.

All right, he's got you
doubled down and he's
about to stake it.

Oh, oh... [chuckles]
I'm seeing gold.

- What the hell?
- What?

- James is having some fun.
- I'm seeing gold, guys.

- Oh my [bleep]!
- [bleep] Yeah!

[Carlos] Woo hoo!

Yeah I got through that layer.

- Well, your sluice box
has turned very red.
- Woo.

Look at that [bleep]
comin' out.

[Carlos] I got a bunch
of branches kicking.

He's about to stake it.

[narrator] With a 1,000-pound
boulder threatening
the dive hole,

Carlos battles deep
in Nugget Creek

to reach the fabled red layer
and their first big nuggets
of this season.

- What the hell?
- What?

Oh, oh... [chuckles]
I'm seeing gold.

- James is having some fun.
- I'm seeing gold, guys.

[everyone cheering]

- I'm seeing gold.
- [cheering continues]

- It's about time.
- I knew there
was gold in here.

I knew there was gold in here.

I knew that was over here!

[laughs]

- That's exciting.
- Yeah.

That gives me a woody.

- Holy cow.
- This might
turn around for us.

- Yeah.
- I was super worried,
I'm not gonna lie.

[narrator] The marble rock
out of the way,
progress is swift.

It's only gonna
get better. [laughs]

[narrator] Carlos gets down
past eight feet.

[Carlos] I can't mess
with that no more, I've got
too much of it over my head.

Hey, how about we pull him out
and clean up what we got?

We can do that
if you want to.

The truth is I'm dying
to see what kinda
gold we got.

- Good job, man.
- Good job, dude.

I can see for sure
that that's gold.

[laughs] [bleep] Yeah dude.

Oh I see it.
Oh yeah. [laughs]

I can see it right here.

- What're you seeing?
I wanna see it.
- Right down the corner.

I can see you.
I see you.

- I see you.
- Ah, look at that.

- Oh my [bleep]
look at that.
- [exclaims]

It's right there.

- [Carlos laughs]
- [Dustin] Wow, look at that.

[Dustin] And we're starting
to get gold. We got gold.

What I needed to see.

- Wow, look at that.
- These are stuck
in there.

- That's gold all through this.
- Oh my [bleep] dude.

There's plenty, plenty more.

Well, it's not just stories
anymore, there is gold here.

- They told the truth.
- [Carlos laughing]

[Dustin] Good job Carlos.

And I'm probably
gonna sleep good tonight.

Everybody is gonna
sleep good tonight, dude.

Finally there's some gold.
Finally.

So relieved right now,
because I thought maybe
it was all just folktale.

Starting to look good.

I don't know
how much season we got,

but if it starts
looking like this
it's gonna add up quick.

[narrator] While Dustin's crew
celebrates victory...

- [Justin grunts] No.
- [Kayla] What's up?

[Justin] There's the current.

[narrator] Up creek,
Justin is still battling
the raging torrent.

[Justin] Oh!

[Justin] [bleep]

- Shoot.
- Justin.

- [bleep]
- [grunts]

[bleep]

[Justin] [grunts] Well,
that was a fail.

[Justin] All right,
let's crawl back.

[Paul] That current is rough
when you got full body
into it.

[narrator] A man down
and time running out,

Kayla's season
now hangs on her
most inexperienced diver.

Justin having some learning
issues with dealing with
the current,

so the current caught him
and pretty much

sailed him back
all the way to the dredge.

[Justin] Ah, the current
definitely picked up.

Yeah, it's a learning curve.
Dealing with current

you have to know
how maneuver your body

and he is still trying to get
the hang of that.

- [Justin] Now it should
be good.
- [Paul] All right.

I know with this current
like that, it's like holding
a 4x8 sheet of plywood

up in the wind and expecting
to be able to walk right.

- You have to maneuver
differently with fast water.
- Yeah.

[Justin] All right.

Justin seems to do
pretty well for the most part
in the water.

He still needs to get used
to the fast current.

I can definitely tell
he struggles with that aspect
of diving here.

[Justin] Ready, go.

[Kayla] I can hear
boulders rolling.

How you doing
down there, Justin?

[Justin] Lots of rocks
falling down in here.

[Justin] Oh [bleep]!

[Kayla]
Nothing is cooperating.

[Justin] It's hard because
the rain is coming in.

[Justin] All right,
let's get back to it.

[narrator] Justin needs
to work fast

to stay ahead of the rocks
and gravel being sent down
by the brutal current.

[Kayla] I'm really confused.
There's hardly anything
coming over the dredge.

- I don't know what's going on.
- I don't know.

[narrator] Five hours in
and Justin is not getting
a lot of depth.

- I'm trying to expose
more rocks.
- Do you need a basket?

[Justin] Almost, not quite.

All righty then.

We have no material
coming out.
No rocks coming out.

- What is he doing?
- I don't know.

[Kayla] If you're not moving
material, we're not gonna
stand here freezing.

[Kayla] We're about
to call it.

[Justin] You're about
to call it?

Because I don't see any rocks
coming out or any stuff
coming out of the dredge.

[Kayla] I don't know
what the [bleep]
he's doing.

[Justin] Is that it, or...

[Kayla] Yeah.
[Justin] Okay.

[narrator] In the toughest
conditions he's ever faced,
Justin's longest dive

produced little result.

[Justin] It seems I had
a problem earlier today
with the air.

Material-wise, I didn't clear
as much as I wanted
to today.

[Justin] But it's opened up
a little bit more wider.

I made a little bit
of progress.

[Kayla] Today,
with the conditions

as he was diving
it was still filling in.

Unfortunately, that slows
the progress down a lot.

Because it's more
of maintenance dive
than a new progress dive.

[Kayla] And it just seems like
we just can't get anywhere.

Every time we make
a little bit of progress,
it gets wiped away.

We need to start seeing
some gold.

We need to make progress.
We need to get a lot
of work done.

And nothing is cooperating
with us right now.

[narrator] Up ahead...

- We found gold.
- [everyone laughing]

[Kayla] If we hit bottom,
we can find some gold.

Let's try to get
that thing out of here.

We're gonna push it
to the limits now.

It's ripped in half.

- What the [bleep].
- Everything went to [bleep].

Gold, holy [bleep].

[Carlos] Ooh, holy moly.

What's up y'all?

What's up y'all?

How did it go
for you all today?

Not too bad. Got a dive in.

It's cool.

How did you all do?

We uh...
Carlos dove today.
What did you find today?

- We found gold, dude.
We found gold.
- Yeah!

Gold, I mean gold, dude.

- I'm talkin' about gold,
gold, gold.
- [everyone laughing]

I don't know how many times
I've been waiting
to say that, dude. Gold!

It looked like we set that up,
but we didn't. [laughs]

Once they got into that rust,
holy [bleep] it just looked

like the river was bleeding,
when it was coming
of the dredge

- So it's just like
they're saying?
- Dude,

just like they said,
I was going underneath
the boulder,

there was that hard red pack,

so I was just picking up rocks
that was just red, you know?

- Yeah.
- Then I was saying like,
"There has to be gold here."

Man, I'm following
all the signs.

- I'm following all the signs.
- [laughs]

- Just like they said,
you know what I mean?
- Yeah.

The boulder, red pack,
come on.

[Dustin] There is actually
gold here. I was starting
to get worried.

- Yeah, me too.
- It was another McKinley.

- Damn.
- You all got to be
right there close as well.

Hopefully we're close
because we're starting to hit
that really hard packed stuff.

We may be have, what,
four feet to go
to get to that level.

Look for the rust,
that's where it's at.

Only downside is,
where we're at,
every time it floods

it brings in not just
small debris

but it actually rolls
big rocks into our hole.

- [Dustin] Really?
- [Kayla] We had to start over.

Wow.

You know, big rocks
rolling in. You could hear 'em
rolling in our hole.

We're fighting the current
with the dredge,

with our bodies,
with everything.

We've been there before.

What if, it's like,
diversion wall,
diversion wall.

- [Justin] That's all
I could think of just now.
- [Carlos] That's a great idea.

We're set up perfect
to have that there.

[Dustin] If you got it
to where floods

- affect you as bad,
then it'd be worth...
- [Paul] Yes.

...every moment
of it, right?

[man] It definitely
would be worth it.

So maybe we just need
to bring the cap stand
and pull some of those.

- That's a not a bad idea.
I forgot about cap stand.
- Yeah.

Y'all can definitely do that.

[Dustin] All right,
let's call it a night,
tomorrow let's hit it hard.

Let's get some more gold,
all right?

[together] All right.

We really need this season
to start turning around

because there's not much
left to it. If we don't
get any gold

that's an entire mining season
that went to [bleep].

That we completely wasted.

[Kayla] I am not okay
with that option.

We're going to work
on a water diversion.

We're gonna give it
everything we have.

Hopefully, we can start
making some progress

and we won't have
any more major setbacks.

Water looks good.

[Kayla] I don't hear
boulders rolling or anything.

[Justin] Nuh-uh, it doesn't
look that bad, does it?

There needs to be

a... a kind
of a steep angle,

not straight
across the creek.

[Justin] That's what
I was thinking.

[narrator] After weeks
of losing their dive hole

to infill brought
down by the current,

Kayla has a plan.

First thing today, we gotta
take some time out of diving

to move some
of the boulders upstream
to make the diversion,

it should alleviate
some of the backfill

that we keep
getting in our hole.

[Kayla] It won't get
rid of all the water

- but it'll help push
that current over.
- Yeah. That'll work.

[narrator] They'll use
a capstan winch to pull rocks
from a recent landslide

across the main channel
to create a wall
that will deflect the water

to the far side
of the creek,

then open up
that channel

by moving some
of the big rocks

blocking it with
the main winch system.

What that's gonna
do is help it be a lot easier
for the divers

if they're not
fighting that current
the whole time.

Even though
it takes away
from hours diving today,

it's gonna
make the hours
that we put in diving

later today or
tomorrow and everyday

from here on out
easier to make progress.

All right,

when do we
wanna pull first?

- [Kayla] I'll try this one?
- [Paul] We could try it.

[Kayla] A lot of pull
on this, hey?

[Paul] It should.

What is going
on with it?

[Kayla] The rock's not
too big for it, is it?

[Paul] I've seen it pull a lot
bigger rocks than that.

[machine whirring]

It's just a portable
winch that we can
wrap a rope around,

pull a bit of tension,

and it's supposed
to pull the rock

but today for some reason
we're having
a little bit of issues.

[Justin] It should pull
that rock easy.

[Kayla] That's so weird.

[Paul] That's why
we're trying to plough.

We're trying to plough
a lot of material
righ here with that.

[Kayla] Let's see
if we can pry loose
that middle one.

[narrator] Unable to move
the big boulders
from thr landslide,

they attempt
the closer river rocks.

[Kayla] Feel like this is
gonna take us a little longer
than we thought.

[Kayla chuckles]

[Justin] Huh.

Why isn't this working?

[Paul] I might be able to
put that to that redirect.

[Justin] Almost.

[Justin groans]

[Paul] We got one
rock in place so far.

[Kayla] So far we've diverted
the current a little bit.

[Paul] It would have been nice
to be able to get right there

and not worry about being
flushed downstream.

[Kayla] That'd be nice.
Hopefully gonna have
a dive today.

[Justin] Oh yeah, that's what
I'm thinking too.

[narrator] While Kayla's crew
struggles to get ahead,

down creek,
Dustin's crew is on the gold.

[James] Water's clear today,

that's a good sign,
might be able
to see nuggets.

[narrator] Yesterday,
Carlos finally broke into
the legendary red layer

that might just turn
their season around.

My turn in the hole.

I hope to go
find some gold.

[Carlos] Dustin's gonna have
a good dive man,

we're gonna see
gold in the box today.

Clear water,

he's gonna be able
to see the gold.

We're on the gold finally,

so if Dustin
has a great dive today,
no issues,

we're gonna see a lot more
gold in the box.

It's gonna be
a great day.

We've been
stuggling just to keep
the dredge in the water

so we can all finally dive.

So, this is a big deal to us

because we're finding gold
and we're dredging,

and finally set up
to where we can get there.

Just took an entire season
to get to this.

- [Dustin] All right, we ready?
- [Wes] Yeah.

[Carlos] Yeah! Woo hoo!

[Carlos] All right, man.

Ready to rock and roll.

[Dustin] Well,
I see these rocks
y'all been talking about.

Getting rid of a whole bunch
of kitty litter
that built up overnight.

- [James] Guess who's back?
- [Carlos] Dustin's back!

[James] Dustin's back.

[Dustin] All right, uh,

I have entirely
too much hose down here.

I, I know, man.

I won't be able
to dredge like this.

[narrator] Dustin's more
than eight feet down,

but in the cramped
dive hole,

his 40 foot hose
is causing problems.

[Dustin] So can you pull
it up, go away?

Yep, we're gonna float it.

[Carlos] Pull it that way.

Oh, okay... okay...
hey, hey hold on.

[Carlos] Okay, pull it.

Pull it that way.

[Dustin] Yeah, that's better.

It's already better.

All right, we're good.
Thank you.

[Dustin] What the[bleep]?

What's going on
with my suction?

[Wes] Yeah, that's the litter.

[Carlos] Yeah, hey.

[James] Looks good.

Water looks good
from this side.

[Dustin] It's either
stopped up or doubled down
or something.

[Carlos] You gotta
check you nozzle

because, uh, we got
plenty of water
coming out of that sluice.

Well, I can tell you to...

I can put my hand
right over the end
of it to stop it off.

I don't know if we got, uh...

Maybe we ripped the hose.

I think we might've
ripped that hose.

[James] Oh [bleep].

It's ripped in half.

Oh [bleep].

[James] Shut it down.

[Dustin] What the[bleep]?

Look at that.

[Dustin] What the[bleep]?

What's going on
with my suction?

I don't know, if we got, uh,

maybe we ripped the hose.

[Dustin] Yeah, I don't know.

[Carlos] I think we might've
ripped that hose.

[James] Oh [bleep].

It's ripped in half.

[Wes] Oh [bleep].

[Dustin] What the[bleep]?

Look at that.

[narrator] Dustin should be
dredging up nuggets
from that gold rich red layer.

[Dustin] Look at that.

[narrator] But just minutes
into his dive,

they're forced to shut down.

[Dustin] What are you
gonna do?

[Carlos] I don't know
what we can do.

[James] This hose
is trashed, man.

[Dustin] What's the play
here guys?

[Carlos] You got
no hot water dude,

you might as well
get out, dude,

you got no hot water.

[Dustin] Why?
Is it not running at all?

[Carlos]
Not all all man.

- [Dustin] Oh, great.
- [Carlos] You gotta get out.

[Dustin laughs]

That was probably
my shortest dive ever.

Uh, all that for nothing, huh?

- [Dustin laughs]
- [Wes] [bleep]

[Dustin] I barely
even got wet, man.

All right, hold on, hold on,
let's figure this out.

Maybe, James,
you can go ask to see if

there's another
hose we can
snatch off them,

- 'cause I think they're only
running one dredge.
- [James] Copy that.

[Dustin] Not very
lucky lately.

[Dustin laughs]

Soon as I seen
that hose bent in half
my heart sank, I'm like,

"We're just on the gold,
just on to it."

Big nuggets could
be sitting there,

just a hose,

but it always is something.

Something that breaks.

It's one of the most minor
things that pisses you off.

Minor things.

[Dustin]
We're getting close
to having to get out.

[James] Copy that,
I'm gonna go figure
out that hose.

[Kayla] I think that
I'll just go ahead
and pull this one

- all the way back.
- We can definitely do that.

[narrator] Up creek,

Kayla is just a few rocks
from finishing
their diversion wall.

[Kayla] So far, so good.

[narrator] And busting
to dive for gold.

[Kayla] This thing will
make it so much easier
to get a lot done.

She's gonna out
do it, she's gonna
have it so good.

[Kayla] I do that anyway.

[laughs]

[Kayla] Just kidding.

- Partially.
- [Justin laughs]

That's gonna stop
that flow completely.

[Justin] Hell yeah.

[Kayla] It's going.

- [Kayla] Got it.
- [Justin] Yeah!

[Paul] Nicely done.

[Paul] This is working,
that flow has pretty
much slowed down.

[Kayla] That should make
a pretty good channel.

[Justin] This is beautiful.

We've changed
it quite a bit,

that's a good flow
coming through here now.

It's amazing what a little bit
of rock moving can do.

It's definitely
making a difference.

[Justin] What's going on?

[James] Our hose
broke in half.

- Crap.
- [James] So we're
gonna ask you guys

if we could
borrow a hose.

[James]
Dustin's still in his suit
trying to get hot water,

so I don't know
what's gonna happpen
to the dive today.

[Justin] Damn, all right.

You see James down there?

That... they broke their hose.

- [Kayla] Well, that sucks.
- [Justin] Yeah.

[Justin] They're out
wanting to ask
if they could borrow one.

[Kayla] They can take
that short one

- we're not
using right now.
- [Justin] Okay.

It's propbaby not the one
they're looking for, but...

[Kayla] That's the one
they're getting,

- 'cause the other
two are connected.
- [Justin] That's so true.

[Paul] How did
they break their hose?

- [James] I'll try to get
that thing out of here.
- [Justin] Okay.

[James] I appreciate
your help, man.

[James] I should be able
to get it from here.

- [Justin] Okay.
- [James] I appreciate it, man.

[Carlos] Good job, James.

I don't know
if it's long enough.

[Dustin] Throw it that way.

[Carlos] Throw it
that way, James.

Looks like Kayla
had an extra hose for us.

Gotta see if that works.

[Wes] Still warming up?

I'm freezing
my ass off right now.

[Wes] I feel cursed here.

Feel like this place hates us.

- [James] Good?
- [Carlos] Yeah, good.

[Carlos] That looks
all right, dude.

[Dustin] Fire that baby up.

Let's see if it works.

One little suction hiccup,

we're back in business. Woo!

[Carlos] Always
an eventful day bro,

always.

[Carlos] You good?

[James] Do you have
good suction now?

[Dustin] Yeah,
it's doing all right.

I'm just trying
to follow a hole
down right now,

see where it goes.

[Justin] We got material
coming over.

[Carlos] Woo-hoo!

Ruby red,

- and root beer.
- [Carlos] You heard this?

He's making money,
he's making money.

[Dustin] All right guys,

going straight down.

Couple of nuggets just
went in the box,
I could smell it.

We need gold
to make this day right.

[Justin] Woo hoo! [chuckles]

[Dustin] "Go dredging"
they said,

"it's fun," they said.

[Carlos]
Dustin's back in there,

not in the happiest
of moods but hey,

when are we ever
in a happiest mood?

Except when
we're finding gold.

[narrator]
Hours behind schedule,

Dustin is finally
dredging the red layer,

desperate to find the gold
that will save his season.

[Wes] Is this
all the gas we have?

[Carlos groans]
Ah, [bleep] sake.

We'll grab another
five gallons.

- [Wes] I think it would
be a lot safer...
- I'll go get it.

- I'll be back.
- [Wes] ...if we did that,

- we won't get in
any trouble.
- [Carlos] Yeah.

[James laughs]

[Carlos] Somebody dropped
the ball for not bringing
enough fuel cans.

That's something
that we don't wanna make
public with Dustin.

- [Dustin] Where did
Carlos go?
- [James] Um...

What are you doing
over there [bleep]?

[Carlos] Yeah,
this hose is okay.

[Dustin] Things good?
Okay.

[Carlos] Got some fuel
just to finish off the day.

No harm, no foul,

it really never happened.

[Paul] That's way better.

[Kayla] That's the calmest
it's ever been.

[Paul] That ain't no lie.

[narrator] A man down,

and no gold all season,

Kayla's diversion
wall has to work.

Hopefully we'll start
seeing something soon.

[Paul] I hope so too.

Since we're not
expending as much energy

fighting the current,
we will have more energy

to move materials,
so hopefully that will
increase production.

I'm gonna try
to keep following them
all the way down,

hope it will bottom out,

and there's good potential
that we could find some gold.

[Kayla] It's nice having
a little bit of visibility
right now.

There's definitely
some big boulders

right here
that need to go.

[Paul] Roger that.

After we do
the diversion,

there's been
a lot less current

and it looks like there's
some decent visibility,

so we're close,

and being the other
teams got gold

that's just pushing us
that much harder right now,

so I think everybody
is excited, about to see
what's gonna come out today.

[Kayla] If you could just
set it like right here.

Thank you.

[Justin chuckles]

- [Kayla] Good rep.[laughs]
- [Justin] Yeah.

She has moved
a lot of material,

so that's definitely a step
in the right direction.

All we can hope for now
is we're within two to three
feet of the sea and gold.

[Kayla] Okay, we're good.
Let's start dredging now.

[narrator] The calmer
water inside the wall

has allowed Kayla
to move a ton of boulders,

and get down
to the gravel layer
where she can start to dredge.

- [Kayla] We can turn
suction on now.
- [Paul] Copy that.

- [Justin] She's getting into
some dirty stuff there.
- [Paul] [bleep] yeah.

[Paul] She's got a rusty
red layer coming up now.

- [Justin] Ooh!
- [Paul] Oh, hell yeah!

- [Kayla chuckles]
- [Paul] Yeah!

[Justin] Nice.

- [Paul] That was
some dark material.
- [Justin] That's awesome.

We're back on
untouched ground,

it is red layer,

and that's where
the gold is gonna be,

so hopefully
we're gonna have
one hell of a day.

[Justin] [bleep] yeah.

[narrator] Down creek,
over eight feet
beneath Big Ass Boulder...

[Dustin] I got into
a hole more than
an arm's length down.

[narrator] ...Dustin is
four hours into a dive

that he hopes
will salvage their season.

We got termination dust
on the freaking mountains,

we know
where the gold's at,

get what we can,
as much as we can, quick!

[Dustin] Uh, I'm through,
might have to stake it.

Water looks good
from this side, I hope
we didn't break it again.

[Dustin] Something's going on,
I think there's
an opening somewhere.

Gotta be sucking air.

[Dustin] I think we[bleep] up
and lost the prime.

[James] Whoa! Whoa! [bleep]

[Carlos] It's spraying it out,
man, it's spraying it out

[Wes] [bleep] sake.

[Carlos] Spraying it like that

loses all our gold, man.

[Dustin] What the[bleep]?

[James] Losing the prime
from the foot valve.

[Wes] I can wash that [bleep]
out with this, so...

[narrator] Air in the pump
is causing it to spray
and lose suction.

- [Wes] Okay,
it's working now?
- [machine whirring]

- [James] Go ahead.
- [Carlos] Here goes.

[narrator] Simply purging
the air from the system
in just minutes,

Wes gets them
back in the game.

[Dustin] All right, I'm gonna
dredge some more.

[Wes] Oh [bleep], the water
is [bleep] merked out.

[Carlos] [bleep] sake.

[James] You've got to be
kidding me.

D, you just lost
your visuals right?

[Dustin] Oh, yeah,
100 perecent now.

[Wes] Man, he can't
catch a [bleep] break

with this [bleep]
full of water,

that's [bleep] up [bleep].

[Dustin] Oh, you think
you're diving good today?

Oh, we're gonna break the hose
and dirty your water.

- [Carlos] This creek
hates Dustin, man.
- [Wes] It does,

it absolutely does.

[Dustin laughs]
Oh, you're finding gold?

How about we blow
up an engine?[laughs]

[Wes] First day he wants
to dive again and everything
went to [bleep].

Like, really?

[Dustin] I just can't make
this dive happen, man.

I kinda wonder
if we shouldn't just
[bleep] call it.

- You like... let's...
you wanna call it?
- [machine whirring]

[James] Shut it down.

It's not Dustin's
day for a dive.

So we're calling it.

Tomorrow's another day.

[Dustin] I am exhausted.

This is freaking unbelieveble.

[Dustin] But we've been
working so hard

- our bodies is starting
to give up on us.
- What a day.

[narrator]
With winter approaching,

a bad day was the last thing
the crew needed.

Things did not go well.

It turned into like
a little dive nightmare.

[Dustin] I'm beat.

[Wes] Now I doubt
there's anything
in the sluice.

[Carlos] Holy [bleep].

- Gold!
- [Justin and Wes] What?

- [Dustin] Ah!
- [Carlos laughs]

[Wes] Are you [bleep]
kidding me?

[Carlos] Gold underneath that.

- Gold!
- [Wes] Gold.

[Carlos] Look at that gold
caught eight here.

- Gold! Look at that
nugget right there.
- [James] Yeah.

[Carlos] Whoo! Holy moly.

Look at that.

Whoo doggie!

Look at that.

[Wes] Holy [bleep], man.

That's so freaking heavy.

- It'll only get better.
- It'll only gonna get bigger.

[James] Got some nuggies,

pickers and nuggies.

A lot of gold in here,
just everywhere.

[Carlos] You know
we're on a pay streak

when you still get gold
on a bad dive.

[Carlos] Oh, look at that
big chunk right there.

Here on out, gold, gold, gold.

[Dustin] How does
it look fellas?

- [Wes] It's chock full.
- [Dustin] How much?

[Wes] There's ounces for sure.

- [Dustin] That's awesome.
- [Carlos] Good freaking deal.

Right now this is just
scratching the surface.

[Wes] Yeah, we're just
getting started.

[Dustin] We knew
there was gold here

and now it's about to
start freezing on us
and the snow is coming,

and it's happening,
we're finding gold.

[Wes] There's no telling how
much gold we got in here.

[Dustin] I'm excited,

I hope there's a big payoff,

looks like there's gonna be.

- Thank you, God.
- [James laughs]

[Dustin] I swear, man,
just thank you, God.

[Kayla] I'm gonna get
this basket out,

then I have to clean
up the bottom a little bit.

[Paul] Copy that.

[narrator] Five hours
into her dive,

the diversion wall
has helped Kayla make
a massive push to bedrock.

Holy [bleep].

After all that
rock moving

I don't know how she has
the energy to go this long.

You got any clue on how deep
you might have gotten?

[Kayla] Uh, I'm standing.

- [Paul] Okay.
- [Kayla] That might be
all I have in me today.

- What time is it anyways?
- [Paul] Four.

Four? Already?

Wow.

I didn't realize
I've been in that long.

[Kayla] I thought I was
cutting it short.

[Justin] No [bleep],
you've been there
for a long time.

[Paul] She's put
in a full dive today,

moved some big rocks,

moved lot of material.

[Justin] Damn.

[Paul] Getting us one step
closer to the bottom.

[Kayla] I can't wait to see
what's in the box.

[Paul] And you had some
dirty ass material
coming over,

little bit of reddish in it...

That [bleep] looked good.

[machine whirring]

[Kayla] What?
I think that's gold.

[Justin] What the [bleep]?

- [Kayla] Spot of gold.
- [Justin] No [bleep] way.

[Justin] There you go.

- [Kayla] It's about
[bleep] time.
- [Justin guffaws]

[Justin] [bleep] damn.

[Paul] No [bleep]!

[Kayla] I was starting
to think we weren't gonna
get anything this year.

- It was hard to stay positive.
- [Justin] That was good.

[Kayla] That makes
it a little easier.

[narrator] Kayla's epic dive
has finally gotten her crew

down into the gold rich
pay layer.

[Kayla] Wow, that's a nice
piece right there.

[Justin] Holy [bleep], here.

[Kayla] We weren't wasting
our time after all.

[Justin] What a relief.

[Paul] You talk about
a second wind.

- Right?
- [Paul] That's our
second wind right there.

That's what we needed.

[Kayla] Ready?

[Justin] [bleep] Yeah.

[Paul chuckles]

- [Justin] That's amazing.
- [Paul] We got gold.

Finally.

Finally it's paying off here!

[Kayla] Today was
a huge moment for us,

we've put in so much
work this season,

and this kinda just
sparks that fire again,

so I think everyone is excited
to get back to work.

- You're ready?
- [Kayla] Yes.

- [Paul] Let's do this.
- Yeah.

Celebratory beer.

[Paul] [bleep] yeah.

[Dustin] All right guys,
this is the last of it.

Let's see what we got.

[narrator]
After over four months
of back breaking work,

Dustin's crew have finally
got a big load of concentrate

to run through the trummel.

- [Wes] That's nice looking
gold right there boys.
- [Carlos] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nice, chunky gold.

- [Paul] Hey, y'all.
- Sup, Paul?

- [Paul] How's it looking?
- [Wes] Not bad,
we just started, man.

[Carlos] Oh, how did
you guys do today?

- We got gold!
- [All] Yeah!

[Paul] Yeah!

[bleep] Right, man.
Hell yeah!

- [Carlos] Where is it?
Show me, show me.
- [Wes] [bleep] yeah.

- [Paul] About time.
- [Carlos] That's what
I'm talking about dude.

You got that red hard pack?

Yup. Once she got out
I wanted to put my suit on
and just go right back in,

I didn't wanna stop.

- [Carlos] Look at that.
Gold there, dude.
- [Paul laughs]

[Carlos and Paul laughing]

- [Carlos] Yeah, dude.
- [Paul] Damn.

[Kayla] This has been
such a tough season,

that definitely
weighed on everyone.

Today, seeing gold finally
is making it worth it

because I think we can
really hit it big here.

- [Dustin] How much is there?
- [Carlos] Couple ounces.

- [Wes] Probably at least.
- [Dustin] Awesome.

With it looking
like this already

there is no telling
what's gonna be there.

[Dustin] Finding gold,

it's a little late
in the season for it,
but it's happening,

it's got everybody
lit up and happy about it.

[Carlos] Yeah!

[Dustin] We just need
to keep going.

We were all worried
that there was just
pipe dreams here.

There's actual gold here,

so here we go.

[narrator] On the next
Gold Rush White Water.

[James] Let's go
find some gold.

A 100 ton rock could just
slip off on top of him.

[Dustin] If this comes down
it's gonna fall
right in here.

Boom!

[Kayla] We don't know
if it's gonna hit flood stage

but it's very
possible that it could.

We are definitely
running out of time.

[Carlos] You gotta climb
in the mouth of a dragon
to get gold.

If there's any gold in there
he's gonna pull it all out,
I promise.

[Justin] Definitely see
shiny flakes down here
on the bedrock.

[Kayla] Shiny flakes?

Hopefully it's gold.

[Carlos exclaims] Yeah!
There its is.

- Woo hoo! Woo hoo!
- [Fred laughing]

[Wes] Oh, yeah!

[Dustin]
It's finally our time.
