All language subtitles for Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch - 1x04 - Someone Was Here

ERIC DRUMMOND: Ha!

There's a coin, 1849.

This gold of
Thomas Rhoades came

from the Spanish conquistadors.

The lost Rhoades
Mine is someplace up

in these mountains, and
your ranch is in that area.

There's a box down there.

There's no way it'll
come out of that hole.

We can maybe find another
entrance or another place

to drill.

Wow, look at that.

OK, Duane, stir it up.

DUANE OLLINGER:
Plunging this water

is going to get that dye spread
out throughout the cavities.

CHARLIE SNIDER: What the hell?

Wow.

You know, when we
first drilled there,

and the blind white frogs came
up out of the drill hole--

You can actually see
right through it.

Now, we're seeing
a translucent worm.

Oh, look at that.

That, to me, indicates
that these things might

be living in a-- in a cavern.

[thunder crashing]

[suspenseful music]

DUANE OLLINGER: There
are some places on Earth

that just don't seem right.

The land feels different.

It acts different.

And this here is
one of those places.

Some say the land is trying
to hold on to something.

DUANE OLLINGER: Aztec treasure--

CHAD OLLINGER: Holy [bleep]!

DUANE OLLINGER:
--caverns of gold.

Look at this!

DUANE OLLINGER: Mormon riches.

It'll be $1 million here.

DUANE OLLINGER: Some even say
there's a buried spaceship.

Hell, yeah.

Me?

I never cared much
about the stories.

I just care about
finding whatever

the hell is in the ground.

CHAD OLLINGER: Let's
get out of here!

No!

[flute music]

[engine humming]

How much pressure
you putting on it?

I'm just trying to get to the
bottom of something, really.

The truth is very important.

And right now,
we're just piecing

together a lot of information.

We're just trying to
figure out the best

way to get into the caverns
with a dry entrance.

That way, we just
walk in and take

the gold right out with us.

[suspenseful music]

[phone ringing]

[beep]

Hey, there.

Hey, Forrest.

Thanks for checking
out that worm for us.

When we found the worms,
I mean, none of us

really knew what--
what they were,

so I figured I'd reach out
and send it to a biologist.

It sent me down
quite the rabbit

hole to figure out what it was.

Wow.

Turns out that the worm you
have there is actually a larva

of the horsefly or deer fly.

The adult horsefly will
lay its eggs in the air,

and when the eggs
hatch, as little larvae,

they drop into water.

So what that means
is that animal

that you found, although
you found in water,

has actually come from
an open air system.

So that means
they could be flying

in from a different opening,
then, right, somewhere?

Yeah, I-- 100%.

Without any doubt,
these horseflies

are indeed getting
into the cavern system

and laying their
eggs above the water.

Ha!

Basically, what he told me was
that there's an entrance that

flies can get into,
a dry entrance,

and that they lay their
larvae inside a cave.

And then, they go back out.

So there is another entrance
that we haven't found yet,

which is super exciting,
that's open right now.

That's probably
the same entrance

that whoever put the box down
there used to move it in.

Just this last week, we started
plunging the pond there,

and that's when we saw them.

We haven't seen them
before that here at all.

That's fascinating.

And as far as you know,
is there no open-air way?

No.

We don't have one yet, no.

Well, that we know of.

Yes.

That's great news, man.

I mean, that's what we've
been looking for, is an entry.

So we know there is
an entry somewhere.

But if I can give you any
advice, follow the horseflies.

Follow the horseflies.

How are we going to find this?

He said follow the
flies, and there's

flies all over over there.

So it just gives us a
different perspective

to look for, though,
that there is something

that could be another entrance.

Good luck with
the investigation.

Cool, man.

Thank you, brother.

[dramatic music playing]

We know that the flies are
entering the cave somewhere

that has a dry entrance.

And what we know about
horseflies is the way they feed

is by biting wild animals.

So follow the
horseflies means follow

the wild animals
on our property,

and that's where the
entrance will be.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yep,
they like it up here.

We got some good
outcroppings, see small voids

here and there, and--
CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah.

ERIC DRUMMOND: And so
you've got a crevice here.

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah.

ERIC DRUMMOND: In addition to
that, when you have faulting,

you have a zone of
weakness, and that could

be a substantial cave system.

I suggest we head up,
right up in this area here.

Yeah, there's
a little opening.

Hey, look at this.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Wow!

ERIC DRUMMOND: Oh, that is a--

CHARLIE SNIDER: Oh, that's--

ERIC DRUMMOND: That's
a kill right there.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Hey, keep
an eye around you now.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Or part
of a kill, anyway.

CHAD OLLINGER: It's fresh.
ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah.

CHAD OLLINGER: It's warm.

CHARLIE SNIDER: You can see
a little bit of scuffle kind

of in here a little bit,
where it maybe drug it around.

Yeah, some--something went on.

CHARLIE SNIDER: See, look--

see, look at this
mark right here.

CHAD OLLINGER: That looks
like claw marks there.

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah.
ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah.

Because it's kind
of drug a little bit,

I can't really tell
what type it is.

It's like there's so
many missing parts that--

where are they?

Like the legs, the--

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah,
where's the skin?

CHAD OLLINGER: Yep.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Fur.
- Yeah, there's no skin.

CHAD OLLINGER: But there's
so much meat still here.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah.

Whatever did this would
take the good stuff--

Yeah.

--and the guts, the
soft stuff, and leave

the skin and head and the--

CHAD OLLINGER: Right.

--antlers or whatever it was.

I don't know what it was.

Or they'll bury it
and come back for it.

Yeah, they come back
for it occasionally--

- Yeah.
- --to eat it.

It's almost as if
we came upon this,

and maybe we scared
this cat off.

In one of these caves, maybe.

ERIC DRUMMOND: It could be.

Whatever it is,
ain't far away.

It's close, yeah.

It's close.

I mean, I don't want
to see whatever did this,

but we're following the flies.

So this is a good sign.

SHIRLEY LLOYD: As a
little girl, we lived

in the middle of a big ranch.

We just had 20
acres, but the ranch

was all the way around us.

They had cows in the
back of the property.

At night, about 3
o'clock in the morning,

you would hear this
creature scream.

[suspenseful music]

SHIRLEY LLOYD: The
cows were going insane.

It sounded like a stampede.

And so the next day, the rancher
would come over to our house.

And he'd say, hey, I lost
another cow last night.

If you say any
coyotes, kill them.

And I kept telling the
man, it's not the coyotes.

It's this thing, this creature.

This is what's
doing the killing.

I like using the word
creature, because I

don't know what they are.

[bleep] man.

[suspenseful music]

CHARLIE SNIDER: Hey.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Well,
there's part of the leg.

CHARLIE SNIDER:
Another one right here.

ERIC DRUMMOND: The foot.

Another one right here.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Another one here.

CHAD OLLINGER: Well, it's
like it is leading up there.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Wow.

CHAD OLLINGER: Maybe to the den.

But that's where
we've got to go.

OK.

[suspenseful music]

All these caves
that we see here,

regardless of the
size of the opening,

are very significant, because
they could lead to a very

large underground cave system.

[suspenseful music]

Yeah, so this is it.

That's the cave we were seeing.

It goes in their a ways.

It does, doesn't it?

What do you think that is?

Beaver?

Yeah, maybe.

But what's a beaver
doing up here?

It's too high for
a beaver, right?

ERIC DRUMMOND: There's
another bone right there.

This might be a den for cats.

It's definitely
a den currently,

or was one, for sure.

That's another bone, yeah.

Yeah, different type.

Yeah.

So we found the
guts back there,

and that just says
that there could be

a mountain lion in this cave.

That could be its den.

Obviously, I don't
want to pressure

a mountain lion in its
own home, because it

could definitely attack.

So we're just going
have to be ready to back

out of there really quickly.

Brought out the
respirator for you--

Nice.

--with particulate cartridges.

Chad's using a
half-face respirator,

and that will protect him from
both poisonous gases and what's

called hantavirus, which is
an airborne disease caused

by rodents.

He's using an oxygen meter
to protect him in the event

that there's very
low oxygen levels.

[suspenseful music]

If something happens
to you, we're just going

to haul your ass out of there.

CHAD OLLINGER: Cool.

All right, good luck.

CHAD OLLINGER: Thanks, brother.

Be safe.

[suspenseful music]

CHAD OLLINGER: Erg.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Everything good?

Yeah, good so far.

It's pretty-- it's pretty tight.

Normally, I don't go crawling
into caves with bones for fun.

So we know a long
time ago that someone

buried a box in one
of these caverns.

And the box they have in
there is not full of trash.

It has to be something
valuable that they don't

want someone else to find.

So if we can find
another way inside,

I feel like we're on the
verge of a huge discovery.

How's your O2 meter, Chad?

O2 is Looking good.

So I'm in quite a ways, and
it's starting to go down a lot.

It goes down maybe 20 feet.

Wow.

It's getting a little bit
bigger the deeper I get.

That's a good sign.

[suspenseful music]

[grunt]

I'm still going in.

Ha!

He's never met a
cave he doesn't like.

[grunt]

He's probably 100 foot in.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah, at least.

CHAD OLLINGER: I think
this is as far as I can go.

It's getting tight.

[static]

[alarm]

ERIC DRUMMOND: You all right?

Check your O2.

O2 is low.

I guess just want to--
let's get out of here.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Extract!
CHARLIE SNIDER: Extract!

ERIC DRUMMOND: Extract!

CHAD OLLINGER: Pull me out.

[dramatic music]

[alarm]

CHARLIE SNIDER: Still can't--

[grunt]

ERIC DRUMMOND: See him, Charlie?

CHARLIE SNIDER: I
still can't see him.

[grunt]

[dramatic music]

ERIC DRUMMOND: Come on, buddy.

[grunt]

ERIC DRUMMOND: Can
you see him, Charlie?

[alarm]

I guess just going to--
let's get out of here!

ERIC DRUMMOND: Extract!
CHARLIE SNIDER: All right--

ERIC DRUMMOND: Extract!

Pull me out!

[alarm]

[grunt]

ERIC DRUMMOND: You
see him, Charlie?

CHARLIE SNIDER: I
still can't see him.

[grunt]
[cough]

ERIC DRUMMOND: Come on, buddy.

[grunt]

[bleep]

[bleep]

[bleep]

ERIC DRUMMOND: Sit down.

[bleep]
ERIC DRUMMOND: Breathe.

CHARLIE SNIDER:
You're breathing--

ERIC DRUMMOND: Just breathe.
CHARLIE SNIDER: --hard.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Just breathe.
[cough]

ERIC DRUMMOND: Got a
little dicey in there, huh?

Yeah.

ERIC DRUMMOND: The
gas went off in there,

the, huh, the monitor.
- Yeah.

[coughing]

You were going down,
downhill, down slope--

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah.

ERIC DRUMMOND: --and
maybe something

was displacing that oxygen.

It had to have been something
sitting in the bottom there.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Yeah.

I'm glad you got
the hell out of there.

[bleep]

CHARLIE SNIDER:
Why don't you come

out and get in some more air?

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah.

Nothing like getting
out of a cave--

Yeah, right.

--seeing the sun and--

Yeah.

--the sky.

CHAD OLLINGER: The oxygen
level started going down.

I started getting
dizzy, so I had

to get the F-[bleep] out quick.

When I finally got out, I
mean, it was like fresh air

has never felt so good, man.

Do you think maybe
it was back-filled in?

Could be.

I mean, it was all this kind
of soft dirt the whole way.

Yeah.

I made it all the way
back to the end of the cave,

and it was kind of a
dead end right there.

So we're going to find another
entrance to the cavern.

You feeling OK?

Yeah, I feel good now, man.
ERIC DRUMMOND: You ready to go?

Yeah.
Yeah, I'm ready.

Good.
CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah.

Good deal.

[dramatic music]

We're really glad to get
Chad out of there safely.

And he seems fine.

And so, we're going
to keep looking.

[dramatic music]

CHAD OLLINGER: Oh, look at this.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Oh, wow.

CHAD OLLINGER: Look at that.

ERIC DRUMMOND: What you got?

CHAD OLLINGER: This huge--
ERIC DRUMMOND: Wow--

CHAD OLLINGER: --carving.

ERIC DRUMMOND:
--Charlie, look at this.

These are obviously
petroglyphs.

How intricate they are.

That is so cool.

That-- that thing is huge.

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah, look at
the headdress on it there.

Uh-huh.

That's got to be like a
ruler or a king or a chief.

CHAD OLLINGER:
What is the circle?

What does that represent?

World, planet-- it's a little
bit out of my realm here.

CHARLIE SNIDER: You know what?

The story of the lost gold
dates back to the Aztecs.

So these petroglyphs
even look like they

could be Aztec, possibly.

I don't know.

But one kind of
looks like Montezuma.

ERIC DRUMMOND: I agree.

They do have sort of
an Aztec look to them.

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah.

CHARLIE SNIDER:
This kind of lines

up with what the historian
told me just the other day.

According to the legend, the
Aztec took their gold North

and stored it in
the Uinta Mountains.

When things line
up this neatly,

I tend to get a
little bit suspicious.

But it's kind of starting
to look pretty good.

[inaudible]

ERIC DRUMMOND: Take
some pictures of them.

Chad, would you mind climbing up
there so I can get some scale?

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah, yeah.

This one looks more
like a child here.

CHARLIE SNIDER:
Yeah, that's cool.

That seems really
evident to me--

CHARLIE SNIDER: Yeah.

--that is a royal family.

This must be the rulers that
were immortalized in stone.

We need to get these
images back to Duane.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Duane needs to--
- Yeah, he needs to see this.

CHARLIE SNIDER: --all this.

[dramatic music]

ERIC DRUMMOND: We were working
our way around up here.

DUANE OLLINGER: Right, right.

And we came around the
corner, and we looked up,

and bam-- there's these
big ancient petroglyphs

carved into the rock.

Wow.

And it was just like--

Wow.

And so Duane, here
are some of the images--

DUANE OLLINGER: Really?

ERIC DRUMMOND: --that we took.

DUANE OLLINGER: OK.

Oh, wow.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Look at that.

CHARLIE SNIDER:
See that headdress

right underneath the neck?

ERIC DRUMMOND: Um, there's Chad.

You can see the scale
of the whole thing.

That's one-- that's
the family unit.

DUANE OLLINGER: If those are
the Aztec markings, it's huge.

But we're not experts.

What if it's marking a Native
American burial ground?

I know it's got
you guys excited,

but it's got me more worried.

And if there's a
burial ground out here,

it shuts this whole
son of a bitch down.

So we need to do
some investigating

as far as we can go back.

If we do run into something,
we shut it down ourselves.

We don't have to be told to
be respectful to the Indian

Nations or anything like that.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah.

That's a no-brainer
on this deal.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Yeah.

I'll get on that this week.

[music playing]

Well, you know, the
depiction of the one

with all the headdress and the
regalia and all that, that--

that they had on, that was kind
of Montezuma-looking stuff.

CHAD OLLINGER:
Yeah, I don't know

the word "regalia," so maybe.

[laughing]

CHAD OLLINGER: Those
petroglyphs, though, it

was pretty-- pretty neat.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah,
that was pretty neat.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Yeah.

CHAD OLLINGER:
Yeah, that was good.

So I know it's my dad's job
to kind of worry about burial

grounds and stuff like that.

But us finding these
petroglyphs, I mean,

it's amazing.

Yeah, it's pretty neat to
realize that those things

were made like late 1300.

I'm hoping that
those petroglyphs

could be a big clue.

Yeah, it could
be part of where

the original source of this
treasure came from, the Aztecs.

Duane was excited, too,
but he had some concerns.

CHAD OLLINGER: What
would they do if there

is a burial ground here?

They'll they'll
have to report it.

To the Indians or--

ERIC DRUMMOND: The
Indians will come in, yep,

and it'll become sacred
ground basically.

So you'd risk not
only shutting it down,

but you could potentially risk
a portion of your property.

Yeah, and rightly so.

If it's a graveyard or something
like that, my goodness.

Yeah.

[dramatic music]

[crickets chirping]

DUANE OLLINGER:
What the [bleep]??

(ON RADIO) Charlie
boy, you better

come up here by the ponds.

Looks like we got another one.

CHARLIE SNIDER: (ON
RADIO) Copy that.

Be there in a minute.

Damn, another one?

DUANE OLLINGER: Same type of
scenario, it looks to me like.

This son of a buck
was mutilated.

CHARLIE SNIDER: It's
the same damn thing,

ripped the head off.

Kind of makes you
wonder if somebody

ain't leaving a message here.

Where's Chadro at?

I hadn't seen him
in a little while.

Hey, Chadro, you better come
and look at this by the ponds.

Still dripping.

Damn sure got some
liquid coming out of him.

[engine roaring]

[suspenseful music]

It was just laying here?

DUANE OLLINGER: Mm-hmm.

When did you see it?

I just walked up
about a few minutes ago.

God almighty, another one?

Seems like every
day it's something--

something different, isn't it?

For years, we hadn't seen
anything like this, nothing.

And this here is the
third one we've seen.

According to
over at Skinwalker,

they-- you know, they had these
mutilations over there, too.

Yeah, about three months ago.

Well, apparently we got
a little bit of it now.

We've never had these kind
of problems before, so whatever

is going on here, I--

I sure hope it stops,
because, you know,

you can just tell
it's not right.

Might be getting a little
dangerous out here.

We need to kind of be watching
our backs all the time now.

I mean, everything--
every animal,

they'll clean this mess up.

They don't do this.

They don't gut the son of
a buck and take the head.

My gosh!

I hope this isn't some
sort of a warning sign

that we're on top
of a burial ground.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Now, what
do we do with this one?

I just think we ought
to leave it here as a trap

and set a camera up right
over in those trees.

And let's just
leave it right here,

and see if we can't
pick something

up on the game camera.

Good to me.

I'll move a camera over here.

[ominous music]

CHARLIE SNIDER: What the hell?

CHAD OLLINGER: Holy sh-[bleep]!

CHARLIE SNIDER: That's
a frigging wolf!

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah, it's big.

It's definitely not a coyote.

That's a wolf.

CHARLIE SNIDER: I don't know.

There's a wolf on here.

It's huge, man, just right
there, right on the road.

CHARLIE SNIDER: He's a
good 3 foot tall, easy.

Wow.

What the hell is a
wolf doing down here?

They should be up
9,000--10,000 feet up

there with the elk herd and--

What's crazy about this, when
my two-year-old daughter was

out here, she was pointing
on the top of the hill,

saying, there's a white dog up
there on the top of the hill.

And none of us could see it.

I mean, not saying
it could be, but

all the locals say
that the skinwalker's

natural form is a wolf.

It does bring up
a lot of questions.

The Skinwalker Ranch
has had some mutilations

on some of their cattle.

So are we getting the
same thing that they're

getting over there?

[eerie music]

At my house
where I live, we've

had our own little experience.

Gives me goose bumps just
to even talk about that.

A tribal member used to walk up
and down the front of our house

all the time, lean on
our fence, and dance.

I got really worried about
it, and I called a friend

of mine who is a shaman.

He said you need to do
something about him.

He's trying to suck the good
out and to let the evil in.

So now, of course,
I'm freaked out.

And then, we started
seeing this big dog.

I never saw the guy and
the dog at the same time,

but he had always came
from that direction.

Then, the dog started
coming onto our property.

I felt like we were
constantly being watched.

One day, the sun was
starting to come up,

and I'm looking out the window.

Well, there's my horses,
and all four of them

are standing butt-to-butt.

And there's that dog again.

And this time, he's
circling my horses.

[neighing]

And I'm like, OK, I'm
done with this dog.

So I grabbed my gun off the bar.

I literally had one bullet
left in the chamber.

So I'm like trying
to sneak up on him.

And that dog stops
looks right at me.

And I just pulled
up, and I shot.

And he dropped, just dropped.

He didn't twitch.
He didn't run.

He just dropped.

I called my husband.

And I said, when
you get home, will

you please get rid of the dog?

And he could not find a bullet
hole, no blood, nothing.

REPORTER: And how
do you explain that?

I don't.
I can't.

I don't know.

But about two days later,
we read an obituary.

That Native American kid
was found dead in his home.

It was a skinwalker.

These mutilated animals
are totally a distraction,

but we have to stay focused just
on getting into the caverns.

What we do from here?

There's got to
be an entry point

around this son of a buck.

I don't think it's going to be
on top mountain, where the--

No.

Hell, that wouldn't be
very feasible for them

son of a bucks to--

Yeah.

Enter up there anyway.

I mean, those
petroglyphs up there,

they're probably
labeling something.

They're showing that
something's there.

I mean, we don't know what, but
we just have to keep looking

around that area, I guess.

Mm-hmm.

Let's just use common
sense about this deal.

If we were whoever's hiding it,
you know, we would cover it up

where it looks pretty natural.

All right.

If you was hiding a
daggum stash of whatever--

1,000 pounds of gold, you
would do a lot of things

to make it look natural, to
cover that son of a buck up.

Right.

You'd have to.

Yeah, true.

So we got to think
like they thought.

Yeah.

We still need to check if
these are sacred grounds.

Yeah.

But in the
meantime, let's keep

searching for another entrance
without disturbing anything.

So I'll just go on foot
around the petroglyphs

and see if we can
see something there.

Yeah, I think that's the
only way to do it right now.

That's perfect.
Let's do it.

OK.

[dramatic music]

Most of the time
we've been here

has all been at the
cavern, you know,

where all the water was, just
looking for a hole in there.

But at least like 80%
of all this other stuff

hasn't been explored to
the extent that we need to.

I mean, as far as to
find another entrance,

it could be anywhere out here.

So we're just really trying
to spend some time and--

and look all around
here for any--

any little cracks or
holes or something

that we can get in that cavern,
because we know they all

go through here.

We know that there is
gold in the caverns.

We just have to find
the best spot to enter

and the safest spot, you know.

No one wants to get
hurt, but we definitely

know that there is stuff here.

[dramatic music]

So there's a cavern up here.

But we'll just check it out.

[eerie music]

CHAD OLLINGER: There are
small little caverns in there,

but I can't see
anything in there.

[crickets chirping]

[eerie music]

I mean, this-- this
whole area is pretty new.

Basically, we're on the
other side of the mountain.

That's where our dig site is.

So we're just trying
to cover this part

of the ranch to see, you know,
if we're missing something.

On the roads, you can't
see all these spots at all.

So just hiking it is
definitely the best

way to find something for sure.

Uh, just kind of get
boots on the ground

up here to see if we can
actually find something.

I don't know.

We haven't had any luck yet.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, yeah, we'll
probably just head back.

Might as well, man.

Sorry for keeping
you out so late.

CHAD OLLINGER: All right.

Cool.

Let's head back.

Oh, what the F-[bleep]?

Hey, right over here.

Look at this.

What the [bleep]?

What the [bleep]?

It's a cave.

Holy [bleep] man.

This thing's huge.

[ominous music]

See this?

It's a huge cave.

It goes I don't how far in.

There's a bat in there.

There's three bats, four.

[bleep]

PRODUCER: Here they come.

[bats squeaking]

CHAD OLLINGER: There's
bats all in the, man.

[bats squeaking]

CHAD OLLINGER: No
telling how far it goes.

I can't even see the
end of it all, man.

Holy [bleep].

I gotta call the crew, man.

Hey, y'all need to come
over south of the dig site.

I found a huge cave over here.

I think I found the entrance.

I gotta call the crew, man.

Hey, Dwayne?

DUANE OLLINGER: (ON RADIO) Yeah?

Hey, y'all need to come
over south of the dig site.

I found a huge cave over here.

I think I found the entrance.

There's all kinds of stuff.

There's bats in there.

I don't know how far it goes.

DUANE OLLINGER: (ON
RADIO) What'd you find?

Someone dug out a
huge cave over here

just south of the dig site.

DUANE OLLINGER: (ON
RADIO) Copy that.

You want us to head there now?

Y'all just come.

Bring the whole crew.

We need hard hats and headlamps.

DUANE OLLINGER: (ON RADIO) 10-4.

[dramatic music]

CHAD OLLINGER: I mean,
this property is huge.

And we've been camped out at
the main dig site pretty much

the whole time.

And finally getting
out and doing some

exploring and finding this--

whoever put that box
down in the cave,

they could have used
this entrance right here.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Wow.
CHARLIE SNIDER: Damn.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Chad,
what have you got here?

Look at this.

ERIC DRUMMOND:
What have you got?

Wow.

CHAD OLLINGER: I haven't gone
all the way in yet, but--

OK.

CHAD OLLINGER: I just looked
from the entrance here--

Yeah.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Wow.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Look
at that son of a bitch.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah,
it goes in quite a bit.

CHAD OLLINGER: Took
some work, huh?

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah.

Somebody spent a lot
of time doing this.

So it could be
another entry point.

This cave is directly on the
other side of the mountain

from our main dig site.

So the cavern system could run
all the way under the mountain.

This mine shaft could be an
entrance to the same cave

with the wooden box.

It's amazing this
is on our property.

I want to go in just
real carefully at first.

My initial impression
on this one

is it looks like it was
dug a long time ago.

And that's a good thing,
because it's still open.

The idea here is, why
was this put here?

Was it-- was there
something of great value

they're looking for?

What was-- what was
the tunnel put in for?

DUANE OLLINGER: Well,
this is wild as a hammer.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Wow.

DUANE OLLINGER: Look at that.

ERIC DRUMMOND: How
far does this go?

There's a rat's
nest right there.

I'm not seeing any, like,
drill holes that they

would use to put dynamite in.

CHAD OLLINGER: Right.

CHARLIE SNIDER: So this
was probably hand dug?

Yeah, it looks
like it's hand dug,

so somebody spent a
lot of time doing this.

DUANE OLLINGER: This
hard-ass work here.

ERIC DRUMMOND: What
were they mining?

That's the big question.

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah, do you
see any clues of anything?

ERIC DRUMMOND: Not--
this is all sandstone,

and so let me try
something here.

Let's all turn off
our lights here.

All right, I'm going to try
to light this up with the UV

and see what we see here.

Oh, wow.

DUANE OLLINGER: Look
at that, glowing.

CHAD OLLINGER:
Green, what is that?

ERIC DRUMMOND: Wow.

That looks to be
feces from rats or bats

or something like that.

See how it's dripping
out like that?

CHAD OLLINGER: Right.

Look at it.

It's all over the place.

CHARLIE SNIDER: But
no mineralization?

ERIC DRUMMOND: Doesn't
look like much at all.

CHAD OLLINGER: OK.

ERIC DRUMMOND: The rest
of the mine looks--

appears to be sandstone,
similar to the rocks, you know,

right at the-- that blind front.

CHAD OLLINGER: Exactly.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Yeah.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Let's turn our
lights back on, and let's go.

I thought I saw--
just saw one up there.

CHAD OLLINGER: There it is.
ERIC DRUMMOND: There it is.

[bleep]

ERIC DRUMMOND: OK, guys,
this is where it gets dicey.

But we've got to be in a
good, what, 150, 200 feet?

Boy, it does look like
it goes down over there.

DUANE OLLINGER: Oh, yeah.
CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah, it does.

But look at-- look
at the ceiling here.

It's caved.

We have all the debris
on the ground here.

CHARLIE SNIDER: So it appears
to go a little bit to the right.

CHAD OLLINGER: Uh, it
looks like it goes down.

ERIC DRUMMOND: I would now--

I would not suggest
going back in there.

CHAD OLLINGER: I mean, that's
what we got our hard hats

for, though, right?
CHARLIE SNIDER: Yeah.

Yeah, I'd love to see
if it goes any further.

ERIC DRUMMOND: I'm up for it
if you guys are, but it's--

CHARLIE SNIDER:
Let's push forward.

[inaudible]

CHAD OLLINGER: It does go down.

Look at that.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Watch your--
[indistinct yelling]

[bleep]

[bleep]
CHAD OLLINGER: There it is!

ERIC DRUMMOND: Get out of here!

[bleep]

ERIC DRUMMOND: It [inaudible].

CHAD OLLINGER: The
bat keeps [inaudible]..

Ahhh!

[bleep]

He's going after-- let's get--

let's get out.

[laughing]

Get the [bleep] out of here!

CHARLIE SNIDER: He
likes you, doesn't he?

Yeah, he likes me.

DUANE OLLINGER: You guys act
like he's going to kill you.

CHARLIE SNIDER: He's
up on the ceiling now.

[laughing]

He's in my face.

[bleep]

It ain't funny, man.

CHARLIE SNIDER: Well,
I kinda thought it was.

I don't like those
little suckers.

DUANE OLLINGER: Oh, wow.
ERIC DRUMMOND: All right.

DUANE OLLINGER: Damn.

[bleep]

ERIC DRUMMOND: It looked
like it ended right there.

CHAD OLLINGER: Yeah, that's
the end of it right there.

And I'm still not
seeing an obvious--

like an obvious vein,
a mineralized vein,

or anything like that so--

DUANE OLLINGER: Did they just
dig it for the hell of it?

There's no way.

There had to be a motive, but--

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah, what--
what-- that's the question.

There could be a
different motive to digging

this huge mine shaft.

You know, it's like, why would
you keep on digging if there's

no evidence of any minerals?

So it's someone
came in here and dug

this by hand, which took a long
time, and a lot of work, too.

Where they looking for
some cavern, like we are?

I mean, it very
possibly could be.

What if they were looking
for a way in, too, you know?

I don't think that far from
your main dig site there.

Right.

It's just straight
north of there.

Based on those numbers.

We can track this
all the way out.

And we might track it all
the way across the mountain

to where we're at.

Whoever dug this is searching
for the same cave full of gold

that we're searching for.

So we're right on track.

They just didn't have the
good information that we got.

And they damn sure don't have
the equipment that I have,

so it's huge.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

This whole place is a
mystery, but these pieces

are starting to line up.

We've got stories about
the Aztec treasure.

And we also have stories
about the Rhoades Mine.

We have Spanish coins, and
we also have Mormon coins.

And then, we find
those petroglyphs that

look like they could be Aztec.

And to top it all off, we
have a giant box in the caves

down below us.

Now, we find this tunnel that
someone spent a lot of time

in digging.

You know, it feels like
we're just one piece away

from putting it all together.

What can I help you with?

I'd like to look at the
records, the county records,

on the Blind Frog
Ranch property.

You want to come
back over to the vault?

We want to be
respectful, so we

need to make sure these
petroglyphs aren't

a part of a burial
ground, something

that we need to
be respectful to.

So we just need to know.

Our books start back
in 1880, and the property

that you are looking for has
been recorded in a patent

from the United States in 1945.

So it comes from the
United States land office.

Yes.

So then, that
was federal land?

That was federal land.

OK.

And not Indian land?

No.

We did have Indians roaming the
area here, but at that point,

it was federal government.

Federal government.
OK.

Deed.

OK.

You know, we found some
petroglyphs around there.

We wanted to make
sure that we weren't

on some type of
Indian burial ground

or sacred ground or
something like that.

Is there any records on that?

We don't have any tribal
records whatsoever in--

- OK.
- --our office.

OK.

The good news, there
is no sacred ground.

So we're-- we're OK there.

I'm very comfortable with that.

You know, and also, we--

there's a mine shaft off
the back of the property.

Is there any mining claims
on Blind Frog Ranch?

So what I have is
what's found in this book.

And it's called the
"Black Cap Mining Book."

So the-- so there is
actually mining claims on?

RECORD KEEPER: There are.

There are.

Right here, the Black Cap.

CHARLIE SNIDER: OK.

RECORD KEEPER:
And it talks about

here's your northeast quarter.

And this is a
noticeable location

on the Crow Creek drainage.

OK.

Does it tell what
they were mining for

or anything on there?

Did they list that?

So on here, they have
listed gold, silver, copper,

lead, or other valuable.

OK.

And is that the people that--

That is the people that were
filing the notice of location.

OK so it's Rhoades?

What?

These are all
Mormon gold pieces

from the lost Rhoades Mine.

The story goes Thomas Rhoades
took the gold and hid it.

And people have been looking for
it ever since. (ECHOING) Since.

Since.

So that's very interesting.

Fable or history, whatever
you want to call it,

you know, I find it kind of
odd that someone named Rhoades

would have mining claims
on a particular section

of our property that
the same last name is

the Rhoades lost mines.

And it's from the
1850s, which is

the same time that
Rhoades was showing

up with 60 pounds of gold.

So this is real good.

[dramatic music]

[phone ringing]

CHAD OLLINGER: Hey,
what's up, Charlie?

Yeah, he's right here.

He's on the tractor.

Let me get him.

Hey!

What's up?

Hey, Charlie
called and said he's

trying to get a hold of you.

All right.

Hey, Charlie, here's my dad.

What's up, Charlie boy?

Hey, you guys are not
going to believe this.

What is it, Charlie?

I found two mining
claims on the property.

Charlie don't be [bleep] us.

And guess whose name
was on the claims?

Rhoades.

DUANE OLLINGER:
That's huge, Charlie.

Get your ass back here.

[engine rumbling]

All these ranchers
around here,

they are sneaking
on the property

to see what's going on.

I don't play those games.

Anybody that is that
interested, that means we're

doing something right.

No.

DUANE OLLINGER: But they are
fascinated about this property

out here.

Been too many decades of strange
occurrences, things happening.

We call it the energy zone.

ERIC DRUMMOND: Yeah.

There's an anomaly here.

How can I either disprove
or prove this energy

field smelting data?

I'm going to have to
rethink everything.

[machine signal]

It's something
highly reflective.

It is possible that
something's buried up there.

Our main objective is
to get into those caverns

and find the [bleep] gold.

It's got to be a void.

Turn it off!

Turn-- turn it off!

CHAD OLLINGER: He's
going into a trance.

[moaning]

My whole family's out there.

I gotta go.

[vroom]
