02x03 - Diving Blind

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on
Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch.

[Duane] Chad, what'd you find
down on that core sample.

[Chad] I got it.

That ink shows the logs
were cut in the 16th century.

-That's Aztec.
-[Eric] Oh.

[Chad] We are sitting on gold.

We will spend
all we need to do to get down
to that fricking box.

[Jamie] Dave knows something
that could be connected
with the m*rder suicide.

-[Chad] The hell is that?
-[Charlie] Camera two.

[Chad] Look at this [bleep].

[Eric] This is an elaborate
[bleep] spying set up.

We're not here
to get somebody,
hurt but we are here...

-Yeah.
-Always remember this.

We are here to take chances.

[man] Drop it.

[Eric] That's your cave water.

-[Duane] That sure is.
-[Charlie] That's a beautiful
sight right there.

All right, here we go.
Here we go.

-[Eric] Get ready.
-[Chad] Yeah.

[Chad laughs]

[Eric laughs] It's the box!

Good job, fellas.

[man] Oh, wait, I do see
something moving.

-Right there.
-[Chad] Can you see it?

[man] It's moving.

[Chad] Sometimes at night
before the crew takes off,

we pass around
the night vision goggles.

[producer] Chad, how often
is it like this?

[Chad]
This is every night, man.

There's no light pollution
and you can see so much stuff.

[man] That thing
is super bright.

Whoa! Holy [bleep].

Look at this. Above that tree.

Yeah, it's booking across.

-Oh, yeah.
That one right there.
-Oh, yeah, look at that.

-Look at that,
they're right there.
-That's bright.

I do see it, yeah.

[Chad] You don't even need
the night vision for that.

Damn, dude.
Look at that little
son of a buck.

[Charlie] Look at that.

-It looked like
it just did a 90.
-[Chad] Uh-huh.

I see stuff moving out here
a lot but I haven't seen one
quite like that.

[Jamie] It's cruising.

-[Chad] Yeah, it is.
-[Jamie] It is moving.

[Duane] Looks like someone's
keeping an eye on us, fellas.

There's some places on Earth
that just don't seem right.

The land feels different.

It acts different.

And this here's
one of those places.

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

Don't go in the [bleep] cave.

Aztec treasure.

[Eric] Holy [bleep].

[Duane] Caverns of gold.

-[Chad] Look at this.
-[Duane] Mormon riches.

It'll be a million dollars
here.

[Duane] Some even say
there's a buried space ship.

Hell, yeah.

Me? I never cared much
about the stories.

I just care about finding
whatever the hell's
in the ground.

[Chad] Let's get out of here!

[Jamie] Hey, this is Nick.

-[Chad] Cool.
-[Charlie] Hey.

[Chad] Camera expert, huh?

I hope so.

-[Charlie] Good deal,
let's go look.
-[Nick] Let's see what we got.

So this is what we
found right up there
bolted to the rock.

And all this other [bleep]
that's with it.

[Nick] This camera was?

That camera.
It had a battery
next to it, too,

and solar panels,
all up there.

[Eric] Oh, man. Look at this.

[Chad] The other day
we found this camera,

right up on the ridge.
pointed down at our pond.

I mean,
it was super high-tech.

It seemed like
it was remote controlled.

And it could basically see
everything we were doing
out here.

So Jamie brings
in this camera expert
to take a look

and, uh, see what
he can tell us about it.

[Nick] It wasn't out in,
like, plain sight--

-No, behind a tree.
-...where everyone could
just see it?

-Way up over there.
-Yeah.

Okay.

All right, so what do you
wanna know about it?

Do we wanna figure out...

Why, I guess.
Why it was here, huh?

-Why it was here?
-Yeah, somebody's doing
some bad stuff to us.

-And we wanna know
who put it up there and why.
-Okay.

All right.

[Duane] Right now, we have
an open hole drilled right
on top of that box.

-Whoo-hoo, man.
-Yes!

-[Chad] That's the log.
-[Eric] That's the box, man.
That's the box!

[Chad] That's the box, baby.

[Duane] We're in a bad spot.

Anyone could drop
in there right now.

So we need to know
what this deal is.

Well, I can let you know
that a set up

that is this elaborate
is expensive.

It's not just you can run down
to a hardware store
and pick up this equipment.

Really?

[Nick] It's a pretty
elaborate scheme.

This right here
is their cell card.

-[Chad] Ah.
-So they would, in reality...

Just looking like this.

-Right.
-They would have never had
to come back to your site.

And we're about to find out
if this is something that
they were storing locally,

or if I can log into this
and find out if
it was something

they were accessing anywhere
in the world.

-[Chad] God.
-[Eric] Wow.

Okay.

Looking here at the specs
of this camera,

it can see
your entire property

from wherever that camera
was at.

And, at nighttime,
infrared images.

Can they focus in on it?
Can they zoom in?

Not just that, but this camera
can actually detect people

and focus on a person,
by itself.

-[Chad] God.
-[Duane] That far off?

-That... That's bad.
-It's really bad.

This is some
serious tech watching over us.

Somebody with deep pockets
has been watching
every move we make.

No telling how long.

All right, so we'll see
if there's any traces of data
that I can find.

For it to work here.

We're gonna get
one shot at this

for me to log into here to see
if I can find any information.

-[Eric] Okay.
-[Nick] They will have
the opportunity

to delete everything once
I turn this on.

-You guys okay
if I power this on?
-[Eric] Yeah.

-We'll only get one shot
at this.
-Yeah, go for it.

[Nick] Okay.

Okay.

So we're into here.

[Eric] Awesome. Awesome.

Um, now we just need
to see what information
we can configure from it.

And, unfortunately,
we've lost the data.

They beat us to it.

-[Eric] So they pulled
the data?
-They pulled the data.

As soon as I logged
into that... That cell modem,

somebody logged into it
on the other side

and deleted all
the personal information.

Everything in there
that we could have used
to track somebody down.

So they've essentially
erased it from...
From all this?

[Nick] There's no way
we can retrieve it.

Whoever's behind this
definitely was 100%
sitting down,

waiting for this camera
to come back online.

I've never seen anybody
delete information as quick
as this was just done.

What're you thinking?
Who has this technology
to do this?

This is definitely someone
who's advanced

that really wanted something
that you have that they don't.

The bottom line is somebody's
spending a bunch of time

and money to keep an eye
on us.

And for all I know, they'll...
They'll be back.

-[Nick] That lone tree
up on that rock?
-[Eric] That lone tree.

-[Nick] 100% they'd be able
to see your entire property.
-[Eric] Wow.

So right now is the time
to get that box out
of the cavern.

And if there's gold there,
we need to get it
to a safe place.

[man] Lower it down.

Go ahead.

[Duane] Chad-ro, go ahead
and leave a little bit
on the outside.

So whenever you
take it all out just...

Just a little pigtail
right there on the outside,

-and then wrap it
to the inside.
-[Chad] Okay.

[Duane] That way
when you pull on the center,
it'll all come out.

-[Charlie] It's coiled up.
-[Chad] You see?
It looks like this.

[Duane] We're one step closer
to figuring out what's
in that box.

So we gotta get our a*s
in gear and lower
the chains down

so Chad can secure them
around the box when he dives
into the pond.

So we have
to hook it up to the box
and have enough chain

to go all the way out
to that entrance over there.

These chains are rated
to tow 200,000 pounds each.

So no matter what's
in that box, we should be
all good.

-[Charlie] Ah, we're getting
close to the end.
-[Eric] Yep.

[Charlie] All right,
I got the end.

Just hook it on there and...

-[Chad] Nice.
-[Charlie] We're good.

-[Eric] Good.
-[Chad] All right, we're gonna
go down, right?

We loaded the, uh...
The chain on in increments.

[Chad] All right, here we go.

We put one section on,
lowered it down,
made a connection.

Put the next section on.

Okay, we're good.

Otherwise, it would have been
too heavy all at once.

-All right.
-All right. Chain is down.

A lot of chain went
down there, hundreds
and hundreds of feet of chain.

We did our measurements.

We should have
enough chain down there
to drag that box out.

It's very heavy, uh,
but we got it down there.

It's laying there,
just waiting on, uh...

On Chad to get to it
early in the morning.

-Big day's tomorrow, huh?
-[Charlie] Oh, man.

-Super long day.
-[Eric] Yeah,
let's secure this.

[Chad] You guys secure that,
I'm gonna go prep
the scuba gear.

So we just gotta
pack up the gear.

Uh, what else we got?

[Duane]
Look at them little bad boys.
It won't be long--

[man] Hey, Duane. Do you copy?

There's somebody
on your property.

We just spotted them,
they're up on that, uh...
That ridge above the pond.

If you look up there
where the moon is,

you can see them up there,
there's two guys up there.

[Duane] Copy that. Copy that.

Chad's getting
his night vision.
We'll find them.

[Chad] He said, uh,
behind the pond, right?

There! Right there.

Right there.
Right there they are.

You see them?
Can you see them up there?

-[Duane] No, but you can--
-Look, look, look.

[Chad] Right there.
Right over there.

-[Duane] Oh, I got them.
All right.
-[Chad] Let's get them.

Hurry, I got my
RZR right here.
Come on.

[Duane] Let's go. Here we go.

I guarantee we'll catch them
right up that road
right there.

[man] Hey, Duane.

Do you copy?
There's somebody
on your property.

If you look up there
where the moon is,

you can see them up there,
there's two guys up there.

[Chad]
We've caught trespassers
on the ranch before,

but we've never seen them up
there on that ridge.

The guys were directly
above the pond.

Which means one [bleep] thing.

They're after the box.

Should be right
around here, huh?

[Duane] Yeah, they have
to come this way.

They have to come this way.

See if you can see them up
on that night vision.

They had to go through
all that brush and stuff.

They've got to come this way.

You see them?

[Chad] No.

I don't see anyone.

[Duane] Huh.

Yeah, if they beat us
to that corner then they...

They're out of here.

They was damn sure
quick on it.

[Jamie] I just heard it
on the radio.

You guys find them?

[Chad] No, no, no. We just
got here. We're looking
for them, though.

We saw them,
right over the ridge.
Right there.

Uh, spotted them
with the night vision
so we hauled a*s around and...

Uh, we're looking for them.

-[Jamie] What were they doing?
-[Chad] Who knows, huh?

If they beat us to that corner
as we was coming up the hill,

they're already gone,
if you're not seeing them
with those night vision.

[Jamie] Uh,
their tracks are right there.

[Chad] Yeah, damn sure is.

-[Jamie] Heading...
Heading right that way.
-[Chad] Uh-huh.

Or back this way, I guess.

[Jamie] Well, we would
have caught... We would have
ran into them.

[Chad] That's true.
They could've...

They could have took the ridge
across that way.

As an investigator,
people always leave
evidence behind. Always.

Even tonight, you know,
they left some...

There was
some tracks left behind,
and boot prints left behind.

Well, hell, fellas.
We're not gonna catch
anybody tonight.

But, uh, they were
damn sure here.

Charlie will catch them
on game cam.

It's a big day tomorrow.
Get a good night's rest.

[Chad] Everyone's gotta be
on their A-game tomorrow.

-[Duane] Yeah.
-[Chad] We don't really got
time for this bull [bleep].

[Duane] Yeah, yeah.

You don't have to be
a police detective
to figure out

if someone's trespassing
in the middle of the night,
and they flee,

they're doing one
of two things.

They're either spying
on the project.

Or, they're here
to steal something.

I don't like either
of those two options.

All right, let's get
out of here, fellas.

[Charlie] Whoo-whee.
Look at that there.

[Chad] How the [bleep]...

God.

[bleep]

Dead as a hammer.

Look at that brand, Chad.

It's a pitchfork.

[Chad] It kinda looks
like there's another
one over there.

See that?

Yeah, it is.

[Charlie] Where is it?

Right over here.

[Charlie] Two in the day,
right here.

[Chad] Damn.

Look at that.

This has been eaten on.

Something tore it apart.

Sure not a pretty way
to go, is it?

[Charlie] I just wonder
why they got a pitchfork
for a brand.

[Chad] I don't know.

Last year, we kept finding
deer that had been torn apart.

That's a k*ll right there.

And you know, right down
the road is Skinwalker Ranch

and there's supposed
to be all kinds of animal
mutilations over there.

[narrator] Neighboring
Duane's property,

Skinwalker Ranch
has a long history
of strange activity

including animal mutilations,

UFO sightings,

unexplained illnesses,

and sightings
of the humanoid creatures

called Skinwalkers.

In 1996,

hotel financier
and UFO enthusiast
Robert Bigelow

bought the ranch
and teamed up
with the Pentagon

to study the mysterious land.

The results of the operation
were kept under wraps

and all roads to the property
have been blocked off.

Then, in 2016,

it was sold
to Adamantium Holdings,

a shell company
of unknown origin.

Something's out there.

I didn't believe
until I live here.

[woman] I don't know
what they are.

But it's not the coyotes.

[Chad] It just feels like
we've gone from deer
to cattle now.

But today's a big day.

We're supposed to meet up

with the other guys
this morning.

The plan is to pull
the whole box out.

It's make or break right here.

-[Duane] It's time for you
to do your magic now, so...
-Yeah.

How you gonna do it?

Uh, so the chain's
already down there.

I'm gonna hook
one side of the chain
up to one side of log.

And the other side
of the chain,

I'm gonna use my tether,
tie it to it.

Follow the tether out...

-...which, it'll be anchored
and y'all will be holding it.
-Yep.

And, uh, all the way out,

we'll pull the tether out,

hook up the chain
to the Track-O.

Just use the Track-O
to drag that box.

Good.

We know from the scan
and from the footage
from Chad's dive

that there's some
big boulders down there

and that box is definitely
gonna get caught up on them.

So yeah, we're gonna
have to get in there
with a jackhammer

and break up those boulders

before Duane hooks up to it
and tries to pull it out.

Yeah, so, let's all
just get some rest

and we'll do it first thing
tomorrow morning.

Big day. We gotta get,
all be focused tomorrow.

You know, there's no
how-to manual

to get a 500-year-old box
from a flooded cave.

So right now,
the plan is to tow it out

and we just have to pray
that it works.

The thing is,
is when we get this out,

that's where the gold is.

-[Eric] Yeah.
-We're all rich.

This could be it.
This is why we're here.

-Yep.
-This is it.

So, Chadro, you're gonna
tie the rope to the chains.

The chains, you're gonna
wrap around the box.

And then you're gonna
pull one end out.

-What if I hit the chain
with this, together?
-Yep.

A lot of time
and a lot of money

has gone into getting us
to this point, right here.

There's a million things
that can go wrong,

only one thing
that can go right.

So I'm nervous as hell.

-All right, we got a anchor
on that rope, right?
-[Eric] Yep.

Around this rock, right here.

Let's do it.

All right, let's stay close,

no [bleeping] around.

[Ryan] You got it.

Be safe.

[Eric] How many feet, Charlie?



Okay, good.

Looks like that rope
is a bit slack, there.

Why don't you
pull it in a bit?

Looks like they're coming up.

Yeah, they're coming up.

-Coming up?
-Yeah.

[Chad] What
the [bleep] happened?

[Ryan] I can't see anything.

[Chad] Could you even see me?

I couldn't even
see the camera.

[Chad] God.

Well, one time we got six,
six inches apart and I could
barely see you.

We can't see
[bleep] down there.

[Eric] Yeah, I think
I have the culprit here.

All this silty, clay stuff.

You see these cracks
right here?

That indicates clay.

-[Chad] What is it?
-It's clay.

You remember that, uh,
windstorm we had last week?

-Yeah.
-That massive windstorm?

What the hell?

Windblown sand
is very, very fine grain.

You know, originally,
it has a certain amount
of clay and silt in it.

It's powder, okay?

Last week, we had
a huge windstorm

and it dumped tons
of this stuff in the water.

You stir it up and it could be
in suspension for weeks.

Uh, [bleep].

[sighs]

How the [bleep
are we gonna get in there?

Chad and Ryan went down

and they were
ready to, um, go in,

and attach the chains
and everything

and the visibility is,
is terrible.

We'll have to get
a better plan, fellas,
but it... It can work.

Eric's talking about
the parts remaining

in the water
that's giving them
such bad visibility.

And I get that, so it could be
days, weeks, or months

before Chad can see,
to go down in there.

And if it's months,
winter's gonna come in
and we might miss our shot.

[sighs]

Chadro, let's go up
and talk about this deal.

[Eric] Got everything here?

[Charlie] Yeah, I'm just
gonna take this.

This is a, this a major
setback right now.

You're gonna have
to scratch this for a while.

You know, we got that scan.

Yeah.

DId you say, like, putting
a GPS back on me and you
lead me or whatever?

Yeah, I gotta, I gotta
think about this, I guess.

Yep.

[Chad] A few days ago,
I dove into the cavern

with the GPS Lidar tracker
that Eric brought in,

and my dad got me to the box
using a one-way communication.

And it worked out just fine,
'cause at least I could see
where I was swimming.

But diving with no vision

is very sketchy
and very dangerous.

I mean, I could get
turned upside-down,
I could get stuck.

Anything can happen
when you're under water.

Uh, there's not a whole lot
of outs, so it's, uh,

it's, it's gnarly, for sure.

-Trust you, huh?
-Trust me.

-I never misled you.
-Yep.

It's his decision,
not anybody else's.

It's, it's all up to him.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Thank you.
-How was your day?

Uh, it was good.

-Uh...
-Just got
the kids down.

[sighs]

What's going on?

Oh, uh...

We're, uh, we're doing this,
uh, dive where, uh...

You know, the visibility,
everything's just bad.

We can't see much
and I got lost the other day.

It's like, uh...

I've done dangerous stuff

since we've always
been together,

just gnarly, dangerous stuff

and she's always
been supportive,
but it's, you know.

I wanna be upfront
with the dangers

just so everyone's aware.

So we, we have this idea,
or my dad has this idea

that he can, uh, he can
talk to me in my ear

while I'm going
through the cave

and we'll have GPS on me.

You know, he'll be able
to see where I'm going
through the cave...

and, uh, tell me to go
right or left or whatever.

-So it's, I mean, it's like...
-[chuckles] Okay.

One of the reasons
I fell in love with Chad
is his adventure, his danger.

That is what I was drawn to,

but now that we're married
and four kids later,

sometimes it just, you know,
it's a lot to take.

If, I mean, it's not
like I can just say no,
you know?

Yeah, but you're, I mean...

You've gotta be confident
in your choice to do it

before you risk
going in it blind.

But I trust him

and I trust that he can
make the decision

when the time comes,
if it's what he feels
is right to do.

-Trust your instincts,
you know?
-Yeah.

[Charlie] Slow and deliberate.

-[Eric] We got everything?
-I think so.

Chad made the decision
to do this.

Um, it was up to him.

Um...

In, in and with
that decision, he, uh...

He's gonna be going
into harm's way.

What's your pressure
there, Chad?

A little over,
a little over 3,000.

[Chad] I've made the decision
to do dangerous things
my entire life.

But now that I'm a dad,
I'd like to be around

for a little bit longer,
you know?

It's all about risk to reward.

I don't do stupid things
for no reason.

But this, finishing what
we started here,

I think the benefit
outweighs the risk.

I mean, life is full
of hard choices.

I just, I just hope
I made the right one.

[Eric] Chad, you got
your procedure down,
with the tether and the...

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-...and the chain
and all that?

Chain's there, we already
had it there, so I'm gonna
hook the chain...

-...one side of the chain
up with this.
-[Eric] Yep.

[Duane] We have
a GPS tracker on Chad.

so I can see where he is
on the lidar scan

and guide him
through the path
to the box.

Once he gets there,

Chad's gonna latch
on the tether that he's
dragging in with him

to the chain after he
wraps it around the box.

Then they'll use
the tether line
to come out,

and as they come out,
we'll use the tether line
to pull the chain out.

-And we just stay
together the whole time?
-[Ryan] Yeah.

-Stay together.
-Okay.

-[Ryan] I'll follow your lead.
-Okay.

If and when I tell you
to pull out, pull out.

You know, we don't know
what's gonna go on down there.

I think if we don't have, uh,
three quarters of air left
when we get to the box,

-we need to come back.
-[Ryan] Yeah.

We only need to use
one quarter going there.

-If we can't make
it in that, it's a no-go.
-Okay.

-Copy that.
-[Ryan] Okay.

[Eric] I think this is crazy.

It's definitely the most
dangerous thing I've been
a part of in my career.

I mean, a blind dive
into a cave?

[stammers] You just
don't do that.

And yet, here I am.

I think we all have
a case of gold fever.

[Duane] Can you hear me?

Yeah. Loud and clear.

It's good.

[Charlie] All right,
here we go, boys.

I don't know
about you, but this...

This dive makes me nervous.

-And we're topside.
-[Eric] I know. I know.

Hey, here we go, brother.

-[Ryan] Let's do it.
-You good?

-[Ryan] Good.
-Anything happens,
we're back out, all right?

-No [bleep] around.
-[Ryan] Yep.

We're gonna get
back out alive.

-[Ryan] Let's do it.
-[Charlie] Are we ready?

[Duane on radio] Chadro,
you're gonna go back
to the east as you drop down.

Feel your way around.

You're pointing
in the right direction.

You got about five foot
in front of you.

You can go straight.

Keep headed straight.

You got a pretty good
distance in front of you.

Keep going.

[Eric] Still going
down, Charlie?

[Charlie] Very slow.
Very slow.

Keep going, son.

Take it slow right
in front of you.

You got a sharp right turn
in front of you.

Sharp right turn, son.

Chadro, turn...
Turn left right up here.

Slow down.

Turn left, son. Turn left.

Stop. Stop.

Tug on the rope
if you can hear me, Chad.

Turn... Tug on the rope
if you can hear me, Chad.

Chad, give us two tugs
if you can hear me.

Tug on the rope
if you can hear me, Chad.

Turn... Tug on the rope
if you can hear me, Chad.

Chad, give us two tugs
if you can hear me.

When you're down there,
five seconds is a long time,

and it's a long time up here.

Things can go wrong
in just a matter of seconds.

Two tugs!

-That's your two tugs, Duane.
-We got communication.

Okay. All right, here we go.

Keep moving forward.

Forward about ten foot.
Straight forward.

Good opening.

Very good opening.

Keep forward.
Looking good, son.

And Chad, you're gonna
take a right now.

Chad, take a right.
Take a right.

There you go.

You got one more left turn.

Slight left...

...then in front
of you is the box.

I think you're on top of it.

It's what it's showing, son.

Give me two tugs to confirm.

Oh, I got two tugs.

[Eric] He's on it.

-He's on the box.
-[Charlie] Yep, he on it.

Do your magic.
You know what to do.

He's right on top of the box.

You can see the little
bit of movement.

Yeah, I know he's got
some work to do down there,

but I just, um...
I get worried.

It seems like he's been
down there a while.

[Duane on radio] Once you've
got that box locked, Chad,

give us two tugs

so we can confirm.

All right, I...
I got two tugs.

All right, Chad.
Start moving your way out.

Tether your way out
and we'll keep the rope tight.

He's coming out, fellas.

-[Eric] Good deal.
-He's coming out.

-[Eric] Good deal.
-[Duane] He's coming out.

Looking good, son.

Yeah, Duane, have him,
uh, take it slow.

You know, most injuries
happen on the way back.

[Duane on radio] You're, like,
a couple... Couple more turns.

Keep coming. Keep coming.

All right, here he comes.
He's coming up.

[Eric] All right.

Little off to the right.

-Grab the rope.
-[Charlie] All right.
Okay, he's up.

[Eric] Okay. I'm walking
over to the Cat.

Don't get tangled
up in that rope.

You're pulling
some weight now.

This was a really
dangerous dive and...

And Chad is pretty
fearless to do it.

I'm really happy
they got out safe,

and now we just have
to clear a path

by breaking up some
boulders down there,

and we should be
able to drag it out.

-You think we'll be able
to get the chain out?
-Yeah.

I think we can get the chain,
it'll slide through there,
but not...

Not the wood, though.

[Duane] Well, we always
knew we was gonna have
to smash up some rocks,

and that's okay.

If we actually did try to just
pull the box out right now,

with all those boulders there,

the box would
just break apart.

The chain would
come off, uh...

There's no way we could do it.

Well, let's get
the chain out, number one.

Number two, let me
go back to that footage
from last season

and look, uh... Look at what
some of those rocks look like

and we'll come up
with a plan to...

-[Chad] Yeah.
-...get 'em
out of the way.

-Yeah, that wood's not coming
out like it is right now...
-[Eric] All right.

...or we're gonna
mess everything up.

[Eric] We'll get
the chain out, anyway.

[Duane] When you're trying
to do something hard,

I mean really hard,

like what we're doing,
nothing comes easy...

There's usually one obstacle,
one after the other.

[Eric] Duane, that's
getting really taut.

Here it comes.
I just felt it pull through.

[Duane] ...but we don't
cry about it,

we just keep throwing
everything we've got

and try to fix it.

[Eric] We should be
seeing that chain soon.

There it is!

-We got the chain!
-[Charlie] We got it!

-Right there!
-[Eric] Got it!

Ten more feet.
Ten more feet, Duane.

-[Charlie] Ooh, that's tight.
-[Eric] Yeah, it's tight.

[Chad speaking]

-[Charlie] Yeah.
-[Eric] Yeah. We're good.

Good job, man.
We got the chain.

-[Charlie] Way to go, brother.
-We got the chain.

[Eric] Yeah!

That's a long ways.
That's a heavy [bleep] chain.

[Charlie] Yeah, I was
nervous the whole time.

-[Eric] You got it
hooked to the box?
-[Chad] Yeah.

-We got some rocks
to deal with.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-[Eric] Let's go, uh...
-[Chad] Sweet.

-[Eric] ...figure
something out here.
-[Chad] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[on radio] Hey, Duane?
This is Eric. Do you copy?

-Hey, Duane.
-[Duane] Hey. Hey.

-What's going on?
-[Eric] I'd like to show you
some of these images.

Uh, this is of Chad
diving on the box
last season.

You can see...

...just some of the size
of these rocks right here.

Here's another view.

-They're big.
-[Duane] They're big.

If you're gonna drag
that box out,

I think we're gonna need to...

To bust those rocks up first.

So, we just bust 'em up
into smaller pieces
and chuck 'em out?

Yeah.

[Chad] Oh, yeah.
That's better.

[clears throat] That's gonna
take a while, though.

I don't see any way around it.

Good!

-[Eric] We'll give it a whirl.
-[Duane] Yeah.

'Cause we have
to have some heavy hitter
jackhammers down there

and that's... That's not
just your regular old

jackhammer job.

[Eric groans] That...
That was heavy!

[sighs]

All right, here's what
I came up with, anyways.

-[Eric] Okay.
-[Chad] All right.

-I got a octo here.
-[Eric] Yeah.

[Chad] This one
has eight slots.

All jackhammers are heavy,
so they use their own weight
to split apart the rock.

These underwater jackhammers
are 75 pounds apiece.

...and we can air this
up to float it out there.

[Eric] Okay.

-And we can control
with the buoyancy here.
-Perfect.

[Chad] Diving
with a 75-pound weight
is a recipe for disaster.

You're just gonna drown
yourself down there.

So, I rigged up
a buoyancy jacket

so we can get
the jackhammer
down there safely.

We'll have to lift this up,

slide this underneath it.

[Chad] I don't know if you've
ever ran a jackhammer,

but it's exhausting.

I know I'm supposed to be
be the muscle of this project,

but, uh...

this isn't a one man job.

[Duane] This'll be
a two man operation.

-[Eric] Yeah.
-'Cause, uh...

[clears throat] If you
bust anything up
and it falls on you,

you hang up a flipper,
you hang up and get
in those rocks,

there is so many things
that can go wrong.

-You'd need a buddy
diver, for sure.
-[Duane] Yeah and that...

That'll pretty well...

He said that'll prob--
Probably be me.

[narrator] Next time
on Mystery at Blind
Frog Ranch...

[Chad speaking]

[Duane] Yeah. [laughing]

[Chad] There we go.

[Duane] First time
I've been in the cavern
in about three years.

Back then, I just explored
a few feet past the entrance.

Never seen the path
to the box with my own eyes,

but Chad has,

and him and Eric
say we're gonna have
to blast these rocks

and widen the path,

so, hopefully, we can
get that box out clean.

[Duane] Operating
the jackhammer underwater...

Basically, you gotta
dump the weight

just to float
the jackhammer in there.

You gotta get
the weight of the jackhammer
on top of the rock

and then you let that weight
do what you need to do.

If it wasn't for Chad and I
balancing each other,

we couldn't have
balanced that jackhammer

and we wouldn't have
been able to make
a fracture on that rock.

[Chad] Breaking up
all those rocks

is a bigger job
than anyone expected here,

but we're trying
to do something that's
pretty much impossible

and we have to do it
the right way

because we know
what the payoff is.

[Ryan] And what's that?

[Chad] The biggest treasure
the world has ever seen.

That's what.
