They're saying
this is gonna be

a hundred-year storm.

Hurricane force winds

and 17 foot storm surge.

I've never been
in the harbor

with this kind of storm.

The water is rising
and rising.

I could lose every boat I own.

The police can off.
I'm not going anywhere.

There's no way in hell I am

letting anything happen
to that barge.

Oh, my God.
Can you even believe this?

My neighbor's house is gone.

The water carried it away.

It's absolute carnage.

And it's only gonna get worse.

Holy...

Where we are right now
is gonna be underwater.

Oh, man.

This thing could explode.

And they're trying to get us
out, so let's move back.

Power's down,
communication's down.

It's complete chaos.

Right now,
it looks like

an absolute war zone.

- This is crazy.
- I don't know

if we're gonna make it.

Oh, my God.

Everybody's screwed.

Okay, guys,

we need to go out and dive
in deeper water.

Go out on a 45-foot dive,

edge of my claim
where the gold is coarser.

Throughout Nome,
the miners are on edge

as what's being heralded
as the storm

of the century
lurks only days away.

And perhaps no one
is feeling the heat more

than veteran skipper
Vernon Adkison.

You guys have dove deep.

I think we can do it safely.

The first half
of the season was one

of the worst on record for me.

Hand over fist hemorrhaging
money.

The boat's ready to go.
I got gold on my claim,

but I've got no divers.

1.75 ounces. Dammit.

So, I'm nowhere near
my season goal.

Now we're up against it
to get as much diving in

before the giant storm hits.

The pressure's on.

The good news is I'm starting
the back half of the season

with a new set of divers
and a new plan.

If I'm going someplace
I haven't been before,

-I'd rather go out
into deep water.
- Yup.

Because that's where
the gold is, the coarsest

-and the heaviest.
- Yeah.

Gary Simpson was part

of my A team last season

and he's an absolute beast.

All right, Gary.

Get out there, buddy.

I'm also bringing
in Brad Johnson.

He's a total pro,
been doing this for years.

And because we're way
behind on our goal

and the storm is brewing,

we're gonna roll the dice
on a bold new strategy.

We're gonna dive deep.
We're going for the...

-For the heavy gold.
- Good.

We're gonna be down there
knocking on the door
of Davy Jones' locker.

All right.

We're going
to one of the deepest

patches on Claim 56.

No more of the shallow stuff.

I don't think
that was getting us enough.

We're going 40, 45 feet,

depths where no one's likely
gone before on this claim.

It should be completely
virgin ground.

If we get out there
and get on some good gold,

we got a chance of finishing
off with a bang.

-That's what we'll do.
-Perfect.

-We got a plan, right?
- Yup.

Sounds good to me.

All right,
let's get outta here.

Push us off.

Let's go.

We're rockin' and rollin'.

We're gonna go
out there and give it a shot.

We'll go out here in
the deep water.

We put an extra 20 feet on
the hose, which is gonna

make it extremely difficult
to handle,

but the guys are willing
to go to the extra trouble

for the possibility
of getting better gold.

So anyway, here we go.

We're off
to the races.

If I'm down there

and I decide
everything's okay,

I'll stay down there

'cause I don't wanna keep
coming up and down.

Not at those depths, you know?

All right.

Diving in deep water
isn't without risk.

That's why most miners
won't do it.

With lines that long,

it's much easier
to get tangled

and if the diver runs
into trouble,

it's a lot further
getting back to the top.

And at those depths,

they build up nitrogen
in their system.

There's a danger
of getting the bends.

How about this one, Gary,
is it okay?

That's good.

So you don't try this
unless you've got guys

who have been around the block
and got balls of steel,

and I've got that now.

Yeah. Yeah.
There's a lot of static,

but I can hear you.

Okay. Stand by.

All right. Let's do it.

Okay, Gary,
we have water flowing.

We're at about 42 feet now.

This was the first time

that we dove at these depths.

Normally,

I don't like to send
the divers down

in depths
greater than 30 feet,

because it's just...
It gets dangerous.

But we're all hungry
for gold right now.

We need some gold in that box.

Okay. You see gold?
You see gold? Okay.

Yeah, yeah, I see it.

All right, hammer it.

All right, he's seeing gold.

So we'll go as long as we can.

This is damn good ground.

We're gonna have a nice day.

90% of the time when you see

a boat flipped over like that,
someone's dying.

Storms on the Bering Sea

are not a storm
like most people

are used to experiencing.

They're much more brutal.

It's just a fact of life

when you're a miner up here.

Every time you go out there
in bad weather,

you're taking your life
in your own hands.

We're talking typhoon winds,

flooding,

tearing up the sea floor,

which impacts visibility
for mining

and they're saying this
could be the worst storm
in a hundred years.

This could be life-changing.

We're down here
at the All In.

Today is very crucial.
Here's Andy, hard at work.

Love to see it. Andy,
are we ready to do this?

- I'm ready.
-Okay.

And hard at work? I wasn't
hard at work out, Cap.

I know.
I'm joking.

You're doing a great
job.

Reaper Nation
is hoping to make the most

of their limited time
before the storm

by finally getting
their underwater crawler
underwater.

As long as we have
six systems running,

we will be able to go mining

and that's all I'm worrying
about right now.

Okay.
My is done
and ready to go.

Okay, great.
I'm here to see that.

You're gonna like my setup.

So the second half
of the season is just starting

and the pressure's on.

The plan was to have
a two-pronged assault
this summer.

The excavator barge
the Mistress,

and launching my crawler

from the newly outfitted
boat, the All In.

But that's not what happened.

Holy .

we're leaking.

Hey, try to move the nozzle.

That's impossible.

That's one
of the tracks moving.

We're not putting
this in the water right now.

Everything is going
over here.

So, and just in case
you're wondering,

this is what getting
looks like.

Look at all those
big rocks.

This is garbage.

After a miserable first half
of the season,

we're way behind in our goal.

As bad as things have been,
it's about to get worse.

This superstorm that's coming
will shut down mining

for at least a week,
maybe the whole season.

So it's critical
we finally get the crawler
in the water

and we start sucking up gold.

Let's see the lights
and the cameras.

Let's start there.

My brother's actually
been hustling, for once,

and he says that he's finally
got the crawler ready to go.

So we're gonna do
a six-point checklist

to make sure everything
is dialed in.

Okay. So my system's
all simplified now.

It actually looks really nice
how I have it, huh?

Okay. Why are the cameras
all blurry?

Because it still have
the protective seal
over the lens.

-Okay. Beautiful.
-I can see the nozzle,

everything around me,
the ground I'm on.

This looks exactly like
I wanted it to look.

Actually, it looks
a little better.
I'm a little surprised.

System number one
is a success.

Okay. Let's see
the lights come on.

-There's lights. See my light
out there shining up?
-Yeah, I know. I see it.

- Yup, yup, yup.
-All my lights are on.

Okay. Unplug the lights
so we don't burn them up.

-Okay.
-That was nice.

-I know.
-I almost got that feeling

like you know
what you're doing.

Yeah.

Let's go and test
the hydraulic engine upstairs.

-Sounds good, buddy.
-We test those six systems
and we move on.

Hey, Daniel, turn on
my hydraulics engine.

Okay, Jay, you ready?

Hey, Andy, let's see
if the tracks work.

Backwards.

Okay. Let's see the lifter.

Okay, stop. Okay, that works.

Everything works here.

Give me some love, buddy.

Next thing is we're gonna
test the pump engine

because that's how we get
material from the bottom

of the floor
into the sluice box.

Let's do the pump engine.

Hey, you idiot.

Right now, we have water going

through the sluice box,
so it's running.

That's good.

That's perfect.

So far, I'm impressed.

My brother's got
everything up to speed.

The last two things
we have to check right now

are on the All In.

We have to make sure
he has what it takes to get

that 4,000-pound crawler
out there.

A boat's not a boat

without it being pushed
around by an engine.

Let's do it.

Purring like a kitten.

So we're gonna call this
a success.

Okay, let's go test
the anchor.

Let's rock and roll, baby.

Going down.

Going down slow as .

Okay, but it is going down.

Are you bringing it up?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

We're bringing it up.

It's coming up. All right.

Everything's good.

It's a great day.

Systems work great.
The boat is set up.

This is a great
starting point.

The pressure's on
for the second half

of the season
and it looks like

Reaper Nation is ready
for the challenge.

Andy crushed it.
The All In is ready,

we're gonna lower
the crawler down.

We're gonna start making
some serious money

until that storm hits,

which is good

because we desperately
need it.

The truth is,
this is the future.

If you wanna make a couple
thousand ounces a year

without killing yourself
underneath the water

and getting depths that no
diver can reach,

this is the only way
we're gonna do it.

-Insanely big gold.
-Yup.

-Like big chunky ...
-I know.

-...beautiful
jewelry-sized pieces.
-Yeah.

Yeah, baby!

Fasten your seatbelts.

Time to get back home.

It doesn't matter

the size of the vessel,

the Bering Sea
will always be bigger.

And when a bad storm hits,

it can destroy anything
in its path.

Our boat is coming apart.

I've been in some rough water
in my career.

It's getting nasty out here.

But nothing like
the storm of the century

that's on the horizon.

We've been holding our own,
keeping our head above water,

but we need to get
that profit margin... up.

I need a big payday,

one big, heavy hit.

I'm talking heavy
as in a big pile of gold.

And the only way to do that
is to get these boats digging.

Mining legend
Shawn Pomrenke,

finds himself
in an unusual position,

far behind his season goal.

The season's been rough
so far, I'm not gonna lie.

Seems like everything
that could go wrong
did go wrong.

It could be the end

of the Myrtle season

before it even began.

Stop! Stop!

Shut everything off!

Hey!

Then the deal
with my dad

for the inland mine reached
a boiling point.

I'll be waiting on lawyers

the rest of the summer
to resolve it.

Boy, it got ugly.

I don't give .

I get on.

I don't like you either,

the way you've been
ripping me off you.

you.
I ain't gonna

stand down anymore.

it.

I'll see you in court.

The weather dictates

when we can be out
on the ocean,

and the weather's
gonna be crazy.

So, there's no rest
for the weary.

We need to hit the iron
while it's hot.

Now we're starting out
the second half

of the season with the storm
of the century about to hit.

I gotta hit the Bering Sea
with everything I got

the next few days
before that makes landfall.

And that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

Let's go mining,

go make some gold.

Let's go.

Myrtle Irene headed for sea.

The night crew just tapped
into a huge pay streak.

So we're gonna
tag team it hard.

I'll be on the Myrtle

and Cody will be

on the Christine Rose.

We're gonna go
every hour we can

till that bastard pushes us
off the water.

Let's go ahead and spud down.

We're ready to go.
You ready?

Yeah, 10-4.

Let's start putting
some dirt through it.

Fire it up.

Come on, baby. Let's go.

When you're feeling
the pressure

like we are right now

and you're working
side by side,

it's only natural
to wanna outdo each other

to see who can get more gold,

especially for competitive
guys like Cody and I.

Time to make some money.

It's time to
pile up some gold.

Hell yeah!

Trying to get as much gold
as I can

in the box, as fast as I can.

Oh, yeah.

I like it.

I'm gonna beat
the Myrtle Irene on this run.

Come on, you son of a .

Let's make some gold today.

There it is.

I'm just gonna push,
push, and push.

And so is Cody.
He's relentless, too.

Oh, that stuff looks amazing.

We both have an eye out

to see how the other guy
is doing.

That's just gonna
motivate us even more.

Between Cody and I, we're
gonna see a fantastic number

on that scale before
the end of the day.

We've dialed
in the Christine Rose

and got the Myrtle dialed in.

And hopefully by
the end of the day,

the box is full of gold.

Yeah!

As Team Pomrenke
gets rolling...

back in Nome...

I think
we can do better.

I have 300 ounces to make

and, you know,
I'm running out of time.

The storm of the century

threatens to derail

Chris McCully's
stellar season.

Let's not waste our day.
Let's just go out there.

I'm gonna go out there.
I'm gonna do my dive.

I'm gonna put that dredge
back on the gold.

That's the plan.

The first half of the season

couldn't have been any better.

I had a big goal but I stayed
on pace to get it.

That's because
I've been riding

on the hottest pay streak
of my career.

I call it Wall Street

because I've been
cashing in on it

over and over.

Woo-hoo!

With this storm only
a few days away,

we're trying to bank
as much as we could,

but in the process, looks like
we tapped out Wall Street.

We're gonna hop on
the skiff and head over

to the dredge
and keep on pushing.

Now with the storm
coming in a few days,

I'm really scrambling
to find a new hotspot.

I need to keep
the gold coming in.

It's getting cold. Yeah.

About damn time to get cold.

All right.

Okay.
I'm gonna get suited up.

Finding a new hotspot
isn't easy.

You can go down and hunt,

like a wild goose chase.

It could take a lot of time

and you might end up
with nothing.

That's what most miners do,
but not me.

Yesterday, I used
my underwater drone

to look for new ground.

We found a promising
patch of cobble

and it looked like
it may be virgin.

So this is my first chance
to check it out.

Let's hope it's hot
so we can start

the second half
of the season with a bang.

Good luck.

Yup. I got you loud and clear.

Okay.

Okay. I got to the bottom.

All right. Here we go.

Your air pressure's
feeling better?

The compressor died
while he's diving

and here it's just loud,
you know, you can't hear him

but, you know,
you'll start feeling it

on your mask that
the pressure's getting low.

So, run out here
and get it started again

and run it back in
and let him know

that he's got enough air
to keep diving.

So, he's gonna stay down.

Woo-hoo!

Woo! Yeah.

Glad he's doing okay.

Woo...

Throughout Nome...

Yeah.

The rush is on
to grab the gold

before the storm
of the century hits.

And in the harbor...

Jane, we're sending you out

and Alex for Dave's dive.

- Okay.
-And then I'm gonna

-come out for Dan's dive.
-Okay.

Emily's team

is ready to join the fight

at full strength.

Don't get any limbs
in the nozzle today.

-All right.

The first half of the season

was pretty rough.

We had a shortage of divers,

so we fell pretty far
behind our goal.

But now we have a full team
going forward.

Our new diver, Dan Rainwater,

killed it on his first dive.

Gold everywhere

and we're gonna be rich.

Hell yeah.

So we brought out
Dan's brother-in-law, David,

who is a good diver.

David might not have
mined gold before,

but I think he can be taught

the way of the gold dredge.

He's testing the waters
literally and figuratively.

Dave's gonna go first
with Alex and Jane

and then I'm gonna do
the night shift with Dan.

That's our plan going forward
with the storm coming,

two divers, two shifts,
every day we can mine,

put some gold in the box.

All right. Good luck
out there, guys.

- Woo!

Come on gold.

Go have fun down there.

Let's go to work.

I'm gonna focus on,

-first of all, being safe.
- Yeah.

It's obviously
a dangerous job.

Otherwise, I mean,
everybody would be doing it.

I think you're gonna do
great, Dave.

When I first showed up,
I was definitely a newbie

and completely freaked out.

This is all very crazy,

very rustic.

I'm definitely afraid
to fall over.

There's no railing. I guess
I'll be doing this a lot.

I can see the hospital
right there, that's good news.

And now I'm very much
a veteran.

David just needs to have faith
in his ability

because I'm sure
he's gonna do great.

I am. Let's go.

Take your time.

Yup.

He's definitely being safe,

and not just going for it,
which is good.

Roger that.

I'm glad Dave is being safe,

especially on his first dive
in the Bering Sea.

I can't wait
to get mining though.

Right on!

All right.

I am on the bottom.

He's on the bottom.

All right. Hope you see gold.

Uh...

Can you tell us what you see?

Okay. Good.

Woo!

Congratulations. We got gold!

Oh, yes, sweet,
sweet gold.

Yeah. There we go.
That's better.

That's good news.

I'm gonna text Emily
and let her know.

While the newest
Eroica diver

gets on the gold...

across the water...

Chris McCully's
found a hot new paystreak

that's a breath of fresh air.

Yup.

As long as his air
compressor stays alive.

Yeah, it's right at 80.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm all suited up.

Woo!

It's like golden hour, dude.

Ha-ha!

This ground turned out
to be absolutely loaded.

Wall Street was hot,
but I think this paystreak

might be even hotter.

Cam's gonna go next
and he's gonna feast on it.

Yeah. Once you get
to that nozzle,

you can see the hottest
of your life.

The secret is just
to keep the air compressor
from shutting down.

But unlike Cam, I'm actually
gonna be watching it

and that's the job
when you're on the top side.

Uh-huh. All righty, dude.

What are
you seeing down there?

Rich ground.

Rich ground he says.

Just suck it up.

Yeah.

All right.

Those are encouraging words.

Yeah. Dammit.

It was fine
when we first started, dude.

man.

It's getting old, you know?

I'm disappointed.
I work on my own.

After I dive,
I just wanna go home.

Irritated, my nitrogen levels
are so high.

I'm so irritated.

Every little thing
gets me now.

Let me go ramrod it.

It's backwards.

Cam, man,
it's worse . God.

Who the ?
this .

Just go up.

No way, there's no...
There's no point

in you getting tired
for nothing.

pissed.

Just turn off that com.
it.

I don't wanna hear him
breathing.

Piss me off...

Yeah. Whatever.

Take a deep breath, Chris.

Smoke a bowl or something.

Just take a deep breath.

It's frustrating.
We're on amazing ground.

I sucked up great material.

So did Cam.

But now, he's got a rock jam

and that means
we're down for the day.

It just seems like
when I get a new diver,

they can't do it good as me.

If you want something
done right,

you have to do it yourself.

But literally, I can only dive
so many hours in a day.

It was good earlier.
I saw it's a good flow

and everything.

I don't even know.

hungry.

I'm pissed.

Bogus, man.

Here we go.

We're going 90.

It's gonna be a crazy
day.

Now that Kris Kelly's crawler

has passed all of his tests,

it's time for the next phase
of his plan.

Take it out
onto the Bering Sea

and put it to work.

Yeah.

Look, it feels like
it's taken a lifetime,

but we're finally ready
to get the gold trawl

in the water.

And with this storm coming,
we need it.

Let's fire this bad girl up
and see what we can do.

Beautiful!

Let's do it!

Let's anchor the boat.

We're on anchor.

The boat's not moving.

We're getting ready
to start up the hydraulics

for the crawler and start
lowering the crawler

in the water.

So far so good.

Oh, buddy,
That works great.

Okay. Well,
I wanna see it work great.

Let's make this work.

Put that all the way
on the ground.

It's on the bottom.

You're on the "bottom" bottom?

Yeah.

Hey, we made it!

So far so good.

Let's see if we got water
in the bottom.

Oh it's amazing.

Good job, people.

Everything's right
on course today.

It's all coming together.

It runs great, Jay.

Look at that.

We're mining, baby!

That's all
that matters!

This thing sucks
as fast as I can move it.

And it plows through
everything.

And the material
looks really good.

I told you about
the .

Hallelujah.

The Red Sea has parted,

my monster has come to life.

The crawler
is guzzling up gold.

Now let's make up
for lost time this season

and in the next few days,
I know we can kill it.

Everything's working
and nothing's on fire yet,

so I'm calling it a success.

My boat's making gold!

Hang on.

When severe weather hits
and boats are on the water,

it can lead to
life-or-death situations.

Abandon ship.

The unpredictability
of strong currents

in the Bering Sea
can sink a boat in minutes.

My engines are swamping!

Now, the storm of the century
is gonna be here

in only a matter of days.

Hopefully everyone
will make it out of the water

in one piece.

Okay, Gary,
are you still seeing the gold?

How is it,
is it lots of it or what?

Vernon Adkison's
gamble in deep water

is creating deep pockets
for the salty skipper's team.

Okay. Roger that. Come on up.

This season so far
has gone to the dogs.

But maybe we're turning
a corner.

We got a solid team out there

and going this deep
is certainly a risk.

But it looked like we've got
pristine unworked ground.

I'm feeling good
about the game plan.

Brad is gonna make his debut

with Team Wild Ranger.

He's a veteran diver,
but it's been a while

since he's been this deep.

He may be a little nervous,
but that's nothing

that some hot ground
can't cure.

Okay, let's hit it.

Here we go.

Okay. You're on the nozzle.

I'm having a very hard time
hearing you.

Okay. I'm not hearing
a word you're saying.

What?

I'm dragging
on the bottom.

What's he saying?

I have no idea.

Right now,
we're out here,

borderline conditions
with the swell

drifting him around down there
pretty severely.

We can't really keep him
on the spot.

Get his umbilical.

We got some pretty good
swells rolling here.

We're gonna call it quits
for today.

Well, the bad news is Brad
went down

but I can't understand
a damn thing he's saying

over that comm box.

And then the swells
forced him to come up.

At 40 foot plus,
those swells are no joke,

but on the bright side,
Gary absolutely crushed it

at those depths

and we should be seeing
a stellar weigh out.

All right,
well, come on up.

Just change out
a couple hours.

Well, that was a good call.

Bottom line is we got
good gold in the box.

Come back out. We'll be
in better shape next time.

Across the water.

So far so good,

slinging buckets of dirt.

With the clock
ticking...

the dynamic duo
of Shawn Pomrenke

on the Myrtle Irene...

Here's the clay.

...and Cody Moen
on the Christine Rose...

That is the good stuff.

...are striving
to deliver big.

We're moving dirt.
We're putting gold in the box.

Is it gonna be enough?
I don't know.

Hey, hey, hey.

How's the digging
going over there, bud?

Hey, hey, hey,
it's going pretty good.

How's it going with you?

Slinging buckets.
Slinging buckets.

Here we go.

Look at that
beautiful material.

The truth is we're behind,

severely behind

where we need to be
at this point in the season.

And with this storm coming,
it's a tough spot to be in.

That's some
good looking

right there, boy.

But with Cody
killing it on the CR

and me on the Myrtle,
hopefully,

we'll start this
second half off with a bang.

Here's another bucket.

There's some cobble in there.

Hopefully, the Bearing Sea's
being kind to us.

Now, we're done
with this cut.

We're gonna check the box,
see what it looks like.

Make sure we're making gold.

Not that impressed.

Not enough.

We need
way more gold than that.

We're gonna
get our assess kicked

if we keep this up.

This gold is soft.

Not good enough
for what we need.

And I got
that storm hanging over

my head like
a ticking time bomb.

Going deeper out
on the Tomcod.

Here we go.

The last thing
I wanna do is move,

but I'm gonna reposition
the Myrtle and go deeper.

That ground is most
likely to be untouched.

Hopefully it's the right play.

We're gonna hone
in on that pastry.

As long as I can reach it,
we're gonna dig it.

The fleet
is pushing harder than ever

as the storm of the century
looms only days away.

And on Claim 14.

How's it looking
down there, David?

The Eroica team
is starting off the back half

of the season strong,
wasting no time

getting their rookie diver
on the gold.

Nice.

Hey, Dave,
it's been three hours

if you wanna come on up.

All right, sounds good.

Woo!

Dave did a great job.

He put in the time
and we got gold.

David did
a phenomenal job

on his first dive
in the Bering Sea.

This is just what we needed.

It's the perfect way
to start off the second half
of the season.

But this is just the first
dive of the day.

We're gonna go back
to the dock.

We're gonna grab Emily

and we're gonna
switch off shifts.

David's brother-in-law,
Dan Rainwater is gonna stay

onboard and he's gonna log
a second dive.

With the big storm coming,
we need to like log

all the hours we can
on the box

and just get as much gold
as we can get.

I got down there
and saw some gold

so I would consider
that successful.

Made it down safe,
made it up safe,

so we're doing good.

Woo. Got it.

What up, folks?

Nice. That's good.
I'm proud of him.

Like he was happy
with his first dive.

This definitely more like it.

This is how the operation
should have been going

right from the beginning of
the season.

A full dive team
working two shifts

and being on gold nonstop.

We need to be working
like this

the rest of the season
in order to meet our goals.

Oh, there's a rainbow,
it means we're gonna find

a pot of gold tonight.

Man, look at that sexy boat.
Woo.

Man, I think that's the best
looking thing I've ever seen

in my life, except for my baby
and my husband of course.

I'm gonna hand this off
to you.

Yeah.

Even though Dan's
been on the boat all day

tending for his
brother-in-law,

he's gonna be working
the night shift.

I'm gonna be here all
day working with everybody.

They all got tired and went
home and now I'm gonna dive.

That's the kind
of commitment

I look for in a diver.

Someone who's hungry
and who wants the gold

just as much as I do.

Okay. All right.

Let's go.
Let's get some gold.

Dan is getting excited.

Across the water.

Yeah,
we're doing great.

Everything's going great.

Finally my vision's
coming through.

Reaper Nation
finally unleashes

their underwater crawler.

How are you doing?

The ground looks amazing.
I love it.

loads of quartz
on the bottom.

Usually where I find
a nice abundance of quartz,

there's always
a good amount of gold.

- Okay. Beautiful.
- Look at it all.

Yup, beautiful.

Whoa, baby,
we might be on big gold.

So the good news
is the crawler

is on the sea floor
and it's working

and it's eating up
the ground like a badass.

We're probably
getting a ton of gold.

There's just one
itty bitty problem.

I can't really see .

Can you see ?

Because of the way
Andy positioned the cameras,

there's constantly stuff
lying

in front of the camera,

which means
we can't really see

what's going on down there.

Not ideal when every hour
of mining is critical.

Maybe turn the lights on,
see if we something.

- That is the lights on?
-That is the lights on.

Turn them off.

Okay, well,
maybe turn the lights back on

and let's turn
the camera lights off,

dial it in so we can see
a little bit better

because there's all
kinds of weird ass debris.

I'm not liking that.

It's pissing me off.

We're gonna have to
reposition these cameras

and that's a major deal.

We need to get
the crawler out of the water.

We need to go back
to the harbor.

We need to set
all of our cameras

in different positions
and hope to God

we get a better view.

We're gonna burn a day
doing all of that.

And with the storm coming,
we can't waste

one minute,

but I've got a better idea.

Let's call Chris McCully
because we really could use

that ROV system right now.

Chris McCully
has an underwater drone

he uses to
scope out new ground.

So instead of repositioning
all of our cameras

and losing all that time,
we're gonna get Chris

out here with the drone
as a one day solution.

He's a friend and miners
have to help each other

out here at Nome.

At least the ones
that aren't .

Hey, I'm on the water mining.

Do you want to come out here

and with your ROV system?

Okay. Do you want me to come
to the harbor and get you?

I'll come and pick you up
in the skiff.

Okay, later.

Chris McCully's gonna be
at the dock in 10 minutes.

When we get the ROV,
we'll be able to see

what we're doing
a little better.

Yeah.

Everything's going great.

I told, you know,
there's been a lot

of people that doubted
I would get this far.

You know, we're
killing it, baby.

I told everybody
this is gonna work out great.

We're badass .

Okay,
I'll see you guys.

man,
everything's going great.

There's Chris.

Oh, yeah.

Yo, buddy.

What's up, man?

Good to see you.

-I got my ROV.
-ROV. I'm so glad.

We really need to see
what's going on down there

because we're just mining
like through a keyhole.

-Yeah.
-You know,
like it's up.

Everybody's waiting for you.

So let's just get there
and take care of this.

Yeah, so let's load up.

Oh, yeah.

Untie that back line.

Hold on,
some calling me.

Oh, it's Andy. It's not good.

Hey, what's up?

What's the big problem?

And we lost the crawler?

Oh, my God, Andy.

How did that hook come out?

Oh, my God.

This is we're .

Okay, bye. Bye. I'm coming.

What happened?

The hook
that was holding my crawler

to the hydraulic winch
came off.

I don't know what to do.

So this is DEFCON 1 situation.

The way we get the crawler up
and down off the ocean floor

is by hooking it up
to a hydraulic winch.

Well, the cable
came off the hook.

So my underwater crawler,
basically the centerpiece

for my future,

is stranded
on the bottom of the sea.

we're gonna lose
my crawler right now.

Chris, do you wanna
just grab your boat

and go out there for me

and see if you can help
me out?

Yeah. Because I don't know
what else to do.

I'll pay you if you help me.

I just got to save
this .

I just got it going!

Worst case scenario's
happening right now.

Well, I got Chris McCully
coming out to help me.

He's warming up his boat.

We're just gonna try to do
a Hail Mary pass right now

to try to save the day,

but I don't see it
happening for me.

Kris Kelly's
underwater crawler has come

unattached and is in danger
of being lost

on the bottom
of the Bering Sea.

Everything I left you guys
to take care of

went to .

The whole plan for Reaper
Nation centers

on the underwater crawler
sucking up gold.

If we don't get that crawler
hooked back up, I'm screwed.

I have all my money tied up
into this thing right now.

I can't have it sit
on the bottom of the ocean.

It's like hundreds
of thousands of investments

flushed down the toilet.

So the real problem
is we had a shackle like this,

but bigger on the end of this.

And somehow it came undone
and fell off.

Really what
we should have done,

we should have welded it
together when it was on.

We designed that system
to make sure

if anything goes bad,

we have a way of getting
it off the floor.

But that cable came
unattached.

The thing is,
we just can't send a diver

down to reattach it.

The All In is not set
up for a diver.

Right now,
it's specifically built

just to launch a crawler.

We need someone to dive down
and put that shackle on.

And right now,
Chris McCully is coming.

That's why I need
Chris McCully in his boat

or basically we're screwed.

It sucks to be Kris Kelly.

Definition of
show, dude.

We're pulling up to the...
to the All In.

We're gonna go send one
of my divers down there.

We're gonna save Kris Kelly's
underwater crawler.

So with the storm
bearing down on us

with the air compressor
not working properly,

this is the last thing
I wanna experience.

But in the mining community,
you extend a helping hand

when somebody needs it
and Kris needs one.

But it seems like
he always needs one.

So I found a diver, Scott,
Vernon's ex-diver,

so we're gonna help
his sorry ass.

None of this would
happen if somebody just

did it right the first time.

What a constant source
of embarrassment.

Thank you, Chris.
I'm stranded.

-I don't know what to do.
-That's all right.

We will get
your crawler out of here.

Thank you, buddy.
All they gotta do is just

latch onto it
and we'll be fine.

So right in the middle
of the crawler,

you'll see a chain
that's got a hook on it.

That's what I need to hook
onto, is that hook, that ring.

man.

So I find myself sitting here

dealing with air compressor
again.

Seriously, man.

Can't the Kellys
get it together

so that they don't need me
and my boat right now?

There you go.

Here we go.

Comm check, comm check.

You find it?

All right, we're giving you
the cable right now.

Hey, go down, Andy!

You got her?

Chris...

He's working on it.

From my perspective,

you can tell who's
professional and who's not.

You know what I mean?

It's like, wow,
these guys are unprepared.

It's just not the way
to be successful

if they're like this.

I'm glad I'm not them.

How's it going down
there, Scott?

Talk to me, Scotty.

What's going on?

Holy come up.
Come up. Come up.

Hey, do something.
Grab him a rope.

Bring him up man.

Hold on. Stop. Stop.

Do something. Grab him a rope.

Bring him up
man.

There we go.

You made it. You made it.

What happened?

No air?

It's like
we're around, dude.

What the
is this operation?

You guys are
around, man!

stupid operation.

Dude, I almost killed
this guy, dude.

What the
is this operation, dude?

I don't know. You don't have
an air supply that works?

- dude.
-I know like--

I'm only supposed...
We're only supposed

to retrieve your
not the whole operation.

Hey, Chris, calm down.

Calm down.

Turns into a

and a whole lot of
for no reason.

I'm glad you're okay.

Nightmare, dude.

I don't know why
Chris McCully's yelling at me

about his air compressor
taking a dump.

How is this my fault?

I'm just glad
the diver's okay.

That was a close call.

Diver lost air.

I heard it pop and I told him
to come right up

'cause I know that sound,
you know, just right away.

I already know.

And I got frustrated,

yelling at him.

It's unacceptable

to be out here like this.

Good thing he didn't lose him.

You know, this poor guy
almost lost his life.

Hey,
did you get it hooked up?

Oh,
the crawler's hooked up?

Andy, pull that
crawler up.

I'm never gonna let
this happen again.

embarrassing.

Winched up, mother .

Okay, keep coming up.

Go. It's good.

Hey, hold.

The crawler's up.
Everything's good.

Yeah. Woo!

What a afternoon.

The good news is we actually
got the crawler down.

It is able to get gold
and I have no doubt

that it's gonna help us big
time before the storm hits.

The bad news
is we almost lost the crawler

and we almost suffered
financial ruin.

It was definitely humiliating,

but if that's the trade,
I'll take it.

I'm really thankful everybody
came out and helped me out

and I promise
to make it up to people.

-Are we done?
- Yeah, we're done.

-Can we... I'll tie off?
- Yeah, you can go.

Okay.

That's enough excitement
for one day.

Yes. I'm out.

All right, boys.

Good luck.

Thank you very much, Chris.

I'm really sorry for the
inconvenience, everybody.

What a day.

God, what a mess that was.

Other than watching Kris Kelly
and his crew

the whole day,

I mean I think the rest
is good, you know.

Let's pretend nothing happened
and we're getting the

out of here for the day.

The lesson here is, look, man,
don't be a dumb .

We should have had this
properly secured.

It was a disaster,

but thank God I'm a one lucky
mother .
Jesus loves me.

And I do have
a couple friends.

They may be mother
but they're okay.

Across the water...

Been able to get out
in a little deeper water.

Digging as deep
as the Myrtle dig.

There's been a lot of suction
dredging out here,

so you never know if the top
layer's there or not.

So I'm going after
the second level of pay.

Mr. Gold and Cody
Moen are on a mission

to deliver big
for the Pomrenke empire.

We're going as deep
as she can go.

But it's yet to be
seen if the boss' gamble

in deeper water will pay off.

That looks better.

Oh, there it is.

There's a big pay streak
right here.

Yellow brick road,

making money now.

I just hit the spud
with the bucket.

Never hit the spud before.

Just hate doing
stuff like that.

I've been working
around the clock,

tired, gonna break something
if I keep operating like this.

This season's been
getting to me.

It's been rough. No lie.

I got a massive operation.

I keep a lot
of people employed.

I can't have a first half
like I did.

We could go under.

It's a real possibility.

Now you add in
the storm coming,

it only gets worse.

It's potentially
a game changer.

So, yeah,
I'm definitely on edge.

I need a break,
but we have to push through it

because we need gold.

The only way I can do that

is by keeping this thing
running, not breaking it,

and putting gold in the box.

Just keep pushing through it.

It's a lot of stress.

There it is.

There should be some
gold in the box.

Well, let's see if we made
any gold this cut.

Hopefully that box is loaded.

Yeah, there's gold down here.

It's looking good.

Now, we're making good gold.

It's chunky and in there.

Looking good.

That box is starting
to fill up.

Looks like I definitely made
the right choice

of going deeper.

Cody's kicking ass.

I'm on good gold now.

The moral of the story is,

you can't throw in the towel,
you can't give up.

You gotta just keep fighting.

And that's what we're gonna do
the rest of the season.

Oh, yeah.

Making some damn money.

Christine Rose, Myrtle Irene,
we're having a party.

I might as well come in here
and have a cocktail or two,

and check to see
what's happening

in social media world today.

Oh, Jane? Damn.

I heard you wanna
buy me a drink.

And now settle in

for another Social Hour
with Vernon.

I wore a dress
for your cocktail Social Hour.

-Wow.
-Look at that.

-Damn, Jane.
-I'm dedicated.

I'm liking this.

-Thanks.
-It's, uh, yeah, yeah.

Quite attractive.

@BabyDoodles...

-Um--
-You gotta be truthful. Look--

-I'm gonna be truthful.
-You gotta truthful
about this.

I mean, I'm not implying
that you wouldn't,

but I mean, give us the dirt.

Mmm.

Come on, spit it out.

Oh, I have a little
bit of dirt.

She does like
she can be a screamer.

you and you.

So what's wrong with that?

Because I do a little
screaming myself.

If you can't communicate, go.

What do you mean I don't know
what I'm doing?

you, ass.

Get off the freaking boat.

I'm sick of your .

I'm about to give them
a diesel enema

and then torch it off.

I mean,
I wish I could be calm, cool,

and collected all the time.

But sometimes you just gotta
reach out and grab 'em

by the jugular
and shake 'em a little bit.

-Come on.
- Hey, boys. Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

@ZeroPutzWiggins...

Hmm, better railing.

There's no rails on the boat.

Bothers me greatly.

Um, a head on the boat.

Come down and check things on
the Gold Ship. We got a head.

Wait. I heard you don't have
a head on your boat.

You only have a honey bucket.

I stood in your cabin

with a plastic bag underneath
my ass, taking a .

No, no. I got a head,
we got a bar,

we got a heater.

You know what,
I think you're special made

for the Gold Ship.

What would do my heart
really good is to steal

some of Emily's crew
as she's done with my crew

in the past .

Thus concludes another

Social Hour with Vernon.

I bet that doesn't
make the cut.

No. I don't think that's gonna
make it.

Wow.

Every speck of this
gold is, like, getting me

closer to where I wanna be,
you know what I mean?

But it's never enough.

After having more
fun than a barrel of monkeys

helping out Reaper Nation,

it's time now
for Chris McCully

to let the scale
tell the tale.

It's looking
pretty good.

I'm looking
at every scoop, man,

-there's some gold there.
-That's pretty good.

The whole scene with
the Kellys was a nightmare.

Today was a rough day.

But the good news is,
I'm expecting a good number.

We mined the out
of Wall Street.

And today, we absolutely
crushed it on the new spot.

So I hope we banked a ton

because anytime,
that storm can shut us down.

Heavy right there,
she's pretty hefty.

Scale is about to break.

Cool.
So let's weigh this thing out.

I'm gonna weigh it out
in grams and then convert it

into troy ounces.

Okay. There's 100.

200.

-Tipping the scale.
-Yeah.

400, 500.

I think we're gonna
tip the scale.

There's 800.

Okay. There's 900,
we'll stop at 931.

So we're gonna put
this 931 aside

because the scale
could not handle it no more,

pour the rest in there.

There's 20, 50, 100.

200, 300.

Yeah.

500. Come on.

517 grams,

and that's a total
of 1,448 grams,

divided by 31.1 troy ounces,

and we got 46.5 ounces.

-Wow.
-Yeah, dude, I like that.

46.5 ounces
is worth over $83,000.

And Chris McCully
is picking up

right where he left off,

as the second half
of summer gets underway.

-This is really good.
- We just gotta get
back out to that area, huh?

-Yeah.
-I like it.

This is the way
that I wanna start

the back half of the season.

I was really worried about
Wall Street tapping out,

but now we're on a brand new
pay streak,

we should be able to ride
out the whole season.

Thank you so much,
you did a good job.

-You know, without you...

without you,
I can't get a bigger payout.

Good strategy we got.

We just have to keep it up.

Thank you, man.

Pay day, baby.

Yeah.

Back out on the water,

there's still one team
refusing to pack it in.

How's it going?

So the, uh, gold
is still good, eh?

As night rolls in,

the Eroica team is sticking
to their plan,

to pack in two full dives
on the day.

Almost at four hours.

I mean, I'd be happy leaving
him down there all night.

He's gotta come up
at some point.

This is the first time
all summer

that we've been able to do
two shifts back to back

on gold in the water.

So right now,
we're killing it.

Both divers are proving
to be super strong.

It's like two different
seasons in one summer.

And this part of the season
is starting out perfectly.

It's pretty dark
down here.

I'm okay with that.

It's a good night.

I'm gonna go home and kiss
my baby and my husband,

in that order.

Hey, friends. Hey.

These are my friends.

They're like a little clique.

Yeah, they're giving me
the silent treatment right now

because I didn't come
and see them yesterday.

Oh. Now they're looking at me.

Hey, Bri Guy.

Hey, I must ox you a question.

Like, he always gets my puns,
and he loves dad jokes.

You're utterly the coolest!

They're actually at the, um,
"calf-ateria" right now.

They're really hungry.

So, like, that's Bri,
Bri Guy, Brian.

And, you know, he has,
you know, those little cutie
little horns.

That's baby George.

And that's his mom, his mom's
Karen, and she's a Karen.

She talks, that's why, mm.

Max, he sulks a lot.

He's just, like,
eating his feelings right now.

Look at him.

Max.

Why did they all turn
their backs on me like that?

Sometimes when cows and bison
are, like, irritated,

they get... They ball up

so that, like, if I'm a bear

or a wolf that comes by,
they're like, "Hey,

we're like a wall and you're
not gonna get through us,

like, we're not separated,
like, you can just come steal
our baby."

That'd be delicious.

Nice to see my friends,

like, they're kind of snobby
today like just a little bit.

Uh, I mean, Brian was cool,
but the rest were mm-mm.

I bored them to sleep,
so all right, I get it.

Hey, whatever.

Whatever.

This looks good.

We're on some
good-looking gold.

Time now to see
if Vernon Adkison

starts off his second half
of the season

on the comeback trail.

You don't know until
you put it on the scales.

That storm is just lurking.

God only knows
what it's gonna do to Nome.

But in the meantime,
we got a new team out there,

and we went deeper
than we've ever gone.

And from the looks of it,

we're gonna have a nice
cleanout on our hands.

Okay. Here it goes, guys.

Yeah.

There's an ounce,

2, 4...

6, 8...

pretty much straight up
and down 9.

I'm gonna call it 9.01.

All right.

9 ounces
is worth over 16 grand,

making it Vernon's
biggest cleanout

of the season so far.

It's better than a poke
in the eye.

If you'd told me earlier
in the season

that I'd be happy to see
9 ounces on the scale,

I'd have called you
a damn liar.

But here we are.

The good news
is this is the most gold

we've seen all season.

That's also the bad news.

But hey, this half
is starting off way better

than the beginning
of the season.

All right.

That's all.
Let's get this bagged

and tagged,

come back and do it again.

On the other side of town...

Look at those dimples.

- Oh, she's smiling.
- You're cute.

Are you smiling? Yeah.

She's got dimples for days.

Emily's team
is growing by one

at today's cleanout, baby.

As they ready
to see what their first

double dive has brought in.

She keeps on, like, getting
these interrupted naps.

Oh, yeah. We saw those.

Oh, I get angry
when I get interrupted.

Me, too. Yeah.

I'm bringing baby girl along
because she needs a nap,

but hopefully, she'll be
our good luck token as well.

We need some luck considering
where we are this season.

But I couldn't have asked

for a better way to start off

the back half of the summer,
though.

It took a long time

to get the baby to sleep,

so we all gotta
be really quiet, sorry.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

-What?
-Shh!

Dan.

You're out of here.

I knew it would be you.

We actually hit 30! Yes!

Shh!

30.5 ounces
is worth over $54,000,

and the Eroica team
is making some big noise

in the second half of summer.

Yes!

Good job, baby.

-Good job.
-Good job, everybody.

-Good job.
-Good job.

This proves that
this is the right team

going forward for the rest
of the season.

Now it's just a matter of
getting all the gold we can

before the storm hits.

I'm whispering,

but we're very happy
about this cleanout.

Nice job, everybody.

Down the road...

Looking real good.

There's a bunch of gold
going up the wheel.

After their two
excavator assaults,

it's time for Mr. Gold
and Cody Moen to see

just how much
the tag team pulled in.

So I'm feeling
pretty confident.

I mean,
doesn't really mean

until the gold hits the scale.

Cody and I really
pushed it out there.

It's a good thing too,
because there's not gonna be

a lot of mineable days
the rest of the season.

We're looking for a big
combined number on that scale.

See what we got here.

50, 56, 58...

60 ounces.

Heck yeah.

I'm not gonna complain at all.

60 ounces?

That's good for the CR.

Hopefully,
I did a little better.

I'm stoked Cody did well,

but you don't want anybody
showing up the boss.

-Ready?
- Yeah.

10, 15...

25, 30...

4... 38 and a half.

Hey, even a blind squirrel
will find his own nuts

every once in a while.

You... I mean, you taught me,

so you can't get too mad.
I mean--

Not too bad
because it's all mine anyway.

Cody's 60.1 ounces,
combined with Shawn's 38.5

comes to a grand total
of 98.6 ounces,

worth a healthy 177 grand.

And as the storm looms ever
closer to Nome's doorstep,

Mr. Gold makes a solid dent
in his goal.

There's a new
sheriff in town.

- Oh, .

It's gonna be a while before
I hear the end of this one.

But that's fine with me.

By lighting a fire
under each other,

we pulled in
about a hundred ounces.

These are the kind
of cleanouts we need

with the storm coming.

Hopefully, we'll get one
last day to load up the box.

When we get back out there,

it's gonna be paying
right away.

There's a few more pockets
out there to find.

But if the weather's bad,
it's gonna start hurting.

With the back half underway,

Chris McCully is keeping
his ferocious pace.

Mr. Gold is staying
in the game,

and Vernon and Emily
start crawling back.

Next time
on Bering Sea Gold...

We got a freaking
historic storm coming in.

According
to the weather forecast,

we do have a window
of opportunity.

Ain't no storm stopping me!

This is it.
No time to mess around.

It's gonna be dangerous
bringing this in.

We're gonna smash
into the Christine Rose.

Kris!

Waves are big enough,
it's white capping...

God I just saw
a great white shark.

Oh, .

Oh, man. Looks like
a gnarly current already.

I could see the white caps,
but I got gold to make.

I got two things running
through my veins,

cold water and gold.

They got big real quick.

Go risk my life to safe
somebody else's.

hang on.

Get away from that line!
This could snap.
