02x10 - Gold Stress

Post by bunniefuu »

Gold stress is the stress that
we feel when we're not diving,

When we're not making money.

Shawn: and the way
the weather's been going,

We better make every day count.

I like that cha-ching.

Pushes us to put
as many hours in as we can.

We need two more of those.

At the same time,

It can push us into situations
that we shouldn't be in.

He's not listening to me.

Fine, he wants to [bleep]
wreck the dredge,

He can [bleep]
wreck the dredge!

We'll be gold mining out here
until hell freezes over.

Bunce: just the stress we get
from not having gold.

Tenhoff:
he answered the door with a --

With a loaded .44 magnum,

Spun the cartridge and put it to
his head and pulled the trigger.

I just -- I just witnessed
someone commit suicide.

Narrator: nome, alaska.

Man: I'm ready
to make some money.

I think today
we're gonna head out right here.

Narrator: late in the season,

The dredgers are desperate
for gold,

And even rough seas
won't stop 'em.

Weather's bad,
but we're gonna try.

All's we can do is be
like a steer and try.

We need ounces of gold
to pay these guys their wages.

Narrator: while the fleet
tries to get on the gold...

...zeke tenhoff and emily riedel
try to get along.

Tenhoff:
don't get all [bleep] hotter

When I tell you to shut up,

Because I don't want
to hear your opinion.

If she thinks that because she
bought gas for a couple weeks,

And I haven't paid her back
for that,

That she can criticize all
the different business decisions

That I'm making.

It's not acceptable.
It's not acceptable at all.

She needs to know her place
more than that.

That's not her place.

Right now, I have a lot to lose,

And I want to stay focused
on gold mining,

And emily is a really
high-maintenance woman.

I can't be too tuned in
to her emotional problems,

Because that'll distract me
from the work at hand.

We live together,
and we're together,

And have to endure days
of weather together,

And I'm sick of it,
and I want to leave.

I'm [bleep] sick of living here.

Narrator:
over on the christine rose...

Steve p.: Let's go!

Co-owner shawn pomrenke's back
from serving time for a dui.

What the hell?
Why ain't we out running?

You're back!

Finally.
You're out.

I'm out.
I'm a free man again.

Shawn: jail sucks.

I mean, the people
that are in there

Are in there
because they're idiots.

And I did an idiot thing
to get myself put in there,

But I ain't going back.

That's for damn sure.

He just had to --
he had to learn his lesson.

I believe he did learn
his lesson.

He didn't like jail.

Now I'm out of jail,
so any break in the weather,

I'm gonna get out there
and put some gold in this box.

Even if we have to rough it out.

Steve p.: Let's go.

Narrator: for shawn
and the rest of the fleet,

Now is the time
to stage a comeback.

We are good to go.
Get some hours in.

Emily: this is a [bleep]

Bipolar weather
of the bering sea.

It's just -- it's insane.

Narrator: the bering sea
is open for business.

Shawn: ahh, let's get the hell
out of port

and go make some gold.

It's time to make up
for lost time.

Adkison: okay, go ahead
and throw her off now.

Well, we got a break
in the weather.

Get down there
and get some gold in the box.

About damn time.
About damn time.

Narrator:
but in steve riedel's yurt --

Steve r.: Hey.

Motivation is lacking.

All right.
Sounds good.

Three days ago...

Bottom line is,
it's produce

Or find a new
business address.

...steve riedel's job
was on the line.

Man: get after it.
get the gold.

work hard.
be efficient.

And he kept it.

It's always fun
working around worms.

What does that mean?

It's a term we use for people
who don't know anything

About what they're
trying to do.

But lost his pride.

[ Laughs ]
just telling it like it is.

I feel more tired now
than I did before my nap.

You know, the wild ranger,
working with them,

That's a real challenge.

It's very difficult.

I guess I have to prove myself
over and over again

Because vernon loses track of
my abilities and discounts me.

He just seems to manage
willy-nilly.

Is vernon around here?

Narrator: the wild ranger
heads out to the grounds.

We got to get out here and hit
it with everything we've got.

Galipeau: it's so important
to get some gold right now

'Cause we've been out
of the water.

It's literally k*lling
this operation.

Vern, you know, vern is
bleeding, hemorrhaging badly,

And so am i.

Narrator: weeks
from the end of the season,

Vernon is 66 ounces short
of his 100-ounce goal.

Okay, let it go.

Adkison:
it's not looking real good.

It should be a lot better.

We're like
a one-legged dog here.

We got one diver
that's very productive,

And then we got another diver

That doesn't spend a lot of time
on the bottom

And doesn't know
how to find the gold.

Galipeau: hey, vern!
Yeah?

Holy [bleep]

Galipeau: I thought
I'd look down in the box,

And bang, right in front of me,
here's this nugget.

It's probably
a $200 to $250 nugget.

This may be an omen
of good things to come here.

Maybe it's an indication of how
the day's gonna work out.

Yeah, I'm gonna
put it back.

It's the safest place.

Good omens and all that,
yeah, it's good,

But I don't want to jinx it.

[ Engine turns over ]

Weather's still holding.

Hopefully, we'll get
several hours out of this.

Galipeau: this bottom's changing
almost constantly.

Yeah!

Cha-ching,
cha-ching, cha-ching!

I like that "cha-ching!"

Yeah!

Narrator:


We got to see some gold
after all these months.

Probably help --
help the attitude out a lot.

Narrator: tensions between
zeke and emily are high,

But so is their need for gold.

[ Engine turns over ]

Yeah, we're gonna get
to it today.

We got to take advantage
of these conditions.

I think we're gonna make
some money today.

Narrator:
at the beginning of the summer,

Zeke set a goal of 400 ounces.

We're up to 20 ounces
at this point in the season.

It's not much,
but we're on our way.

We've been waiting and waiting
and waiting for good weather.

I mean, there's desperation
in the air.

It's been a bad season
for everyone,

And it's gonna weed
some people out.

Narrator: first in the water...
Diver john bunce.

Tenhoff: when john gets to work,
john [bleep] works.

He's the toughest dude
I've ever met.

He'll push himself to the limit.

He'll push himself
till, like, the edge of death,

So it's time to get john
down to the bottom

So we can get
some dredging done.

We need to get on the gold.

Emily:
john, do you copy?

Yeah.

How you doing?

Yeah, it's -- it's definitely
all over the place down here.

I'm gonna be able to move very
quickly, which makes this --

This is gonna be a good spot
to make money.

Tenhoff:
I'm not relaxed about it.

I'm really apprehensive.

This season needs to go
a lot better

Before I can relax
about it at all.

Ohh! Ugh.

come again?

There is
a [bleep] wolf eel.

Narrator: on the edge...

Ohh! Ugh!

Emily: come again?

There is
a [bleep] wolf eel.

Ugh.

[ Laughter ]

Ugly mother.

John, are you scared?

Yes.

You know, they have
really powerful jaws

and very long teeth.

they've been known
to sever limbs.

Well, that is [bleep] scary.

That makes me terrified.

Actually, I'm gonna move away
from this rock pile altogether.

He doesn't look like
he wants to be bothered.

[ Laughter ]

They're pretty ugly,
and they're big,

And that makes me terrified

Because they're a lot quicker
than I am.

Are you seeing gold?

[ Laughter ]

Like a mine field?

Tenhoff:
I couldn't get all the gold

That the edge
is capable of getting

Without john on board.

He is an asset,

And we're starting to make
some money here.

Oh, yeah.

I heard that little excited
voice there.

Narrator: half a mile
down the coast of nome...

Graham: yep, that old wind
is picking up.

Seems like we get out, just get
going, and a storm comes in.

Putting gold in the box,
but time is of the essence.

Narrator:
so far this season...

Dnr just shut
the christine rose down.

Narrator: ...the alaska dnr...

I don't want dad
to go gold fishing at all.

Narrator: ...shawn's dui...

Man: he's going to the [bleep]
penitentiary.

I mean, he's gonna be in the big
[bleep] house with the big boys.

Narrator: ...and a $205,000
land payment...

That's our chunk.

Narrator: ...have kept
the christine rose

From turning a profit.

Shawn: well, me going to jail,

It costs tens
of thousands of dollars.

It was stupid
that I wasn't out there.

Narrator:
now with their leader back,

There's only weeks left to get
the 630 ounces they need

To reach their 62 1/2-pound
season goal.

We don't get the gold, we don't
have enough to pay the crew.

We don't have enough
for our excavator,

And I got to work my a*s off
all winter

To make enough for next season's
start-up money.

It's time to kick the crew's a*s
and get in gear.

I want to get all these boys

That have been working so damn
hard for us a paycheck.

At least we got out today.
Any time is good anymore.

Our last round, we averaged
about 1 1/4 ounces an hour.

So in 24 hours, if we've got
that, that's pretty good money.

Narrator:
on $2,000-an-hour ground,

The christine rose crew wants
to stay and make it pay.

Shawn:
yeah, it's a little rough,

But I've been in a lot worse
than this.

Right now, we need
every ounce of gold we can get,

So we're staying.

Graham: if we can just have nice
weather for two weeks straight,

We'd be in pretty good shape.

It just doesn't want to give up.

I'm really starting to think

That we'll probably have to
bring it in.

'Cause it -- it's just
too hard to come in

If it gets really rough.

Shawn:
you ready for a break?

Sure.

Yeah [bleep]

It's starting to pick up again,
ain't it?

I know it, and you know,

It got pretty decent
for a little while there,

And then all of a sudden,

These white caps
started roaming around.

Shawn: all right.

I'm gonna stick it out
until the bitter end.

I'll push it a little bit,

Rather than run home scared
with my tail between my legs.

Now I'm out of jail, I have to
learn from my mistakes,

So we need to get on that gold,
put it in the box.

There's a lot of things
that need to be done,

And I'm just gonna take control
of it.

If I didn't have
$300,000 worth of bills,

I would have been in
a long time ago.

Weather says, "go in."

The checkbook says, "stay out."

Narrator: 7 miles away
on the wild ranger...

Weather's cooking up.

Starting to white cap.

Folks are going in.

Narrator: six hours into
their best dive of the season,

The wind is picking up.

Yeah, the wind has kicked up
quite a bit.

We got 15 knots of wind.

stay down as long
as you're comfortable.

Narrator: but 66 ounces
from their season goal,

And with gold flowing in, the
captain wants to stick it out.

That flag is still blowing
pretty briskly over there.

[ Engine sputtering ]

Oh [bleep]

Yep, engine quit.
I think we might be out of fuel.

When we lost the engine,
we lost the compressor.

When you lose the compressor,
you lose air,

And so the diver's only got
a little while to come up.

Yeah, I'm putting it in now.

Narrator: diver daryl galipeau
has only 30 seconds of air left.

In low visibility and saddled
with 100 pounds of dive weights,

Daryl will have to locate
the dredge's ladder

And pull himself to safety.

If he fails,
he could sink to the bottom

And suffocate
in his own dive mask.

Galipeau:
give me the ladder, please!

Ahh.

Okay, it's coming down.

Ahh [bleep]

[Bleep]

Narrator: on the wild ranger...

...out of air and being dragged
down by his dive weights,

Daryl galipeau is hanging on
for his life.

I got the weights.

I can't come up any more.

Drop the weights!

Okay.
All right.

Take the mask clear off.

Take my glove off.

Pull this.

Pull that [bleep] off.

Come on, man!

It ain't coming off.
[Bleep]

All right.

Okay.

Got it.

Got it?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's all yours.

All right.

[Bleep] piece of [bleep]

Galipeau: vern's got a problem
with -- with, you know --

He doesn't exactly know
what he's doing.

The veteran diver here,
I often tell myself, you know,

"I need to be up on top

Showing these guys what
their job is up there."

I made a scramble for it,
popped up, no ladder.

[ Laughs ]

The ladder wasn't there.

Got the adrenaline pumping,
that's for sure.

One thing the topside guy's
got to do,

And that's keep
the motor running

And make sure
it's got fuel, you know,

And he needs to know
if he's just about out.

Guy down there needs to know.

If you don't have any more fuel,

Then you don't have
any more fuel.

If we had more fuel, we wouldn't
have ran out of fuel.

I was out of air.
I couldn't breathe anymore.

[ Sighs ]

[ Thunder rumbles ]

Narrator: two hours later,
a summer storm arrives

Pushing winds to 26 knots

And driving smaller dredges
off the grounds.

Shawn: you might want
to get ready, doug.

they're coming in.

just do a quick swap-out.

Narrator:
but on the christine rose...

Are you really
gonna stay out here?

yep, buddy.

Captain shawn pomrenke isn't
leaving without more gold.

I'm telling ya,
if I say we should go in,

We should probably go in,
'cause every time I say that,

It gets really nasty out,
and we get stuck.

Yeah, it's dangerous, but I --
I feel pretty comfortable still,

So I'm gonna stick out here
with cody.

Narrator: while the
christine rose changes shifts,

Half a mile away, on the edge...

...after hitting the gold hard
for eight hours...

...john bunce heads topside.

Bunce: you know, the wind
has picked up a lot.

The waves have picked up.

Most of the other dredges
are moving out.

You know, all the dredges
in the wreck area

Are taking off
back to the harbor,

And I don't think it's worth
staying out here.

Hey, zeke, I think
we should pull out.

The thing about it
is that it's cumulative.

It's gotten worse
rather rapidly,

And the forecast is
for 30-knot --

For 25-knot
southwest winds.

All I'm going on is now.

It's not too rough
to dredge right now.

[Bleep]

Zeke is not making
the right decision right now.

The weather's picking up
kind of rapidly,

And zeke's not listening to me
when I say we should go in.

So fine, we'll just stay
out here until --

It really [bleep] sucks to get
back in, and it's dangerous.

Fine, he wants to [bleep]
wreck the dredge,

He can [bleep] wreck the dredge.

Tenhoff: I didn't expect emily
to panic this season,

But that's what happened

And...

You know, so I don't know what
kind of future there is for her

In this kind of stuff.

She should find
some other line of work.

Emily: how you doing?

It's -- it's murky down here.

I can almost see -- I can kind
of see the end of my arm,

But I can't really -- I can't
really see what I'm doing.

But I think we can do it.

Yeah, I'm just on my hands
and knees right now,

Crawling around.

Kind of by the nozzles.

You have to have

A certain amount of awareness
of the danger that you're in,

And zeke is in --

You know, any time there's bad
visibility like this,

And you're disoriented,
it is dangerous.

Zeke is not -- zeke has
no normal concept of danger

Or, like, potential harm
to himself.

He just has --
he's absolutely fearless

To the point of detriment.

All right, there you are.

It's supposed to be


So I'm just moving as much
material as fast as I can.

Holy crap!

What's up?

so much gold!

[Bleep]

[ Laughing ] whoa!

That's a [bleep]load of gold
right there.

I mean, I'm looking
at 100 pieces right there.

You know, I've heard stories
about this kind of [bleep]

Whoa!

by far, the most gold
i've ever seen.

i never seen --

i never thought I would see
this much gold in one place.

I've heard zeke get excited
about gold so many times.

You know, that's great.

If he sees the best gold
he's ever seen, that's awesome,

But it seems like he says that
about 30 or 40 times a season.

[ Tenhoff laughs ]

Uhh! [Bleep]

What's up?
What's going on?

It feels like the dredge
is dragging.

you got all these currents
and the swells.

Uhh!

[Bleep]

[Bleep] frustrated.

just frustrated,
'cause there's a swell,

and it keeps moving
this nozzle back.

Moving around
all over the place.

hey, I don't know, zeke.

These are really
dicey conditions.

It's picking up
out here,

And the [bleep] visibility
is totally shot.

I think it's time to go in,
pull out of here.

The waves are getting big.

I think they're only gonna
get bigger.

[Bleep] [bleep] [bleep]

Hey, let it out, man.
Let it out.

Uhh!

I'm done with it!

This season is just ending
with a whimper, you know.

We've been waiting and waiting
and waiting for good weather.

We're just doing everything
we can just for an opportunity

To maybe get a couple hours
of diving in,

And even that isn't happening.

[Bleep] this sucks.
I hate it down there.

I hate dredging.
I never want to do it again.

[ Coughs ]

Narrator: as 26-knot winds
pound the coast of nome...

...and the smaller crafts
take refuge in port...

...the last dredge on the water
is the christine rose.

We need to get
the hell out of here!

Really frickin' bad out.

All the other dredges
in the fleet are in.

It's supposed to blow east
from that direction,

And town's that way.

So if it starts blowing east 20,
we ain't gonna make it home.

Narrator:
co-owner shawn pomrenke

Has pushed the christine rose
to its limit.

Shawn: ohh! Ohh!

The dredge is falling apart,

But we got a [bleep]load
of gold in the box!

Whoo!

Narrator: all in his quest

To come back strong
and get on the gold.

First thing's first

Is getting this beast
back into the harbor,

And I don't think
it's gonna be easy.

Mother nature is ripping
pretty hard right now.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Narrator:
with just two outdrives

Propelling the 80-ton dredge...

The wind's coming heavy
right now.

...deckhand cody moen needs the
excavator to paddle and steer it



I'm getting pushed out right
now into the deeper water

'Cause of this heavy wind.

We're not going
anywhere now, man.

We just lost, like,
all of our power, man.

We were going, like, 5 knots,
and we're doing, like, 1.

Graham: getting pretty rough out
on the ocean there.

We're just gonna go out there
and make sure they're okay

And see if they need any help
getting it in.

[ Laughs ]

Gonna be a rough ride out here,
I'm telling ya.

Yeah, we probably should have
left a couple of hours ago, man.

Narrator: easterly winds
are battering the barge,

Causing it to fishtail.

Shawn: the wind's blowing us.

Keeps blowing the a*s end out,

And we're doing a zigzag
all the way back to town.

So I'm gonna hook up
a chain hoist to the alt drive

And crank that motor over

And start pushing our a*s in
so we can run straight

And try to get us home
as quick as possible.

Narrator:
with hard-mounted outdrives,

Shawn has to manually turn them

To counter the force
of the wind.

He needs them to push the dredge
in a straight line

Towards the harbor.

Shawn:
that help at all?

Moen: give me a minute.

i guess
that's a little bit better.

Shawn: wind's come up, and it's
starting to turn east on us,

Which is not good, because
it's blowing us away from town.

We need to get that front end
pointed towards shore.

Holy [bleep]
they're way out there.

Narrator: with
the christine rose struggling,

Deckhand doug graham motors out
in case a rescue is needed.

Hey.

Graham: there's some waves
out here, isn't there?

They're probably four footer.

Yeah.

i don't know
what we're gonna do here, man.

headed right for the [bleep]
rocks right now.

Yeah, 10-4.

Narrator: with one last swipe
of the backhoe...

...cody rows the dredge
off the rocks.

Whoo!
It's what makes it fun.

Damn it.

I can't even feel my fingers.

Graham:
they made it back, all safe.

It's always good
when you can make it in

When the weather's bad.

That thing is just not made
to be out in rough weather,

Navigating, anyway.

It's kind of stupid.
We should have came in earlier,

But that's what you get
for [bleep] getting greedy.

Narrator: for the christine
rose, it remains to be seen

If their gold tally
will be worth the risk.

Every hour out digging
is money in our pockets,

So we're gonna [bleep] push it
every time.

Every time we push it
to the bitter end.

[ Wind howling ]

Narrator:
as a fall storm batters nome...

...the fleet takes stock
of their haul.

[Bleep]

Moen: "cody."

"Brings my barge in safely, and
he's a real son of a [bleep]"

[ Laughs ]

You know that's why
he had me doing it

'Cause he was [bleep] scared.

Shawn: the box looked good.

We got all the top of it
cleaned up, got it in the tote.

Now we're just gonna wash
the silt out of it.

Going out in the rough weather
in these short windows

Is a gamble

Because if you break
something major,

It's gonna put us out
when the weather's good.

But at this point, we have
no choice but to gamble.

We need to get out there

And get every little bit of gold
we can in the box

Every chance we can.

Moen: gonna be
a big one, shawn.

Narrator: across the docks
on the wild ranger...

The material's
looking good?

Galipeau: uh-huh.
It's looking really good.

See that?
Look at the gold.

Yeah, there's a lot
of gold in there.

I had the best digging
we've had all year today.

Four, five, six grams there.

Vern, I think if we add
all this up right here,

Probably seven ounces.

That'd be really good.

A 7-ounce, $11,500 payout
brings captain vernon adkison

To within 58 ounces
of his season goal.

But for steve riedel,
who spent the day in bed...

I was tired. I still am.
I'm beat. I was...

Ohh.

Narrator: ...there'll be
no share of the spoils.

At the christine rose
cleanup shack...

Y'all get the water off of this
and weigh it up here.

...steve pomrenke sees

If shawn's risk
was worth the reward.

Steve p.:
He found a hell of a spot here.

He just lucked out finding it,
you know,

But maybe there's a little
seat-of-your-pants stuff there

That makes you find gold,
too, you know.

But he found a good spot,

And thank the lord
that it's a hot spot

Because we've got such few days
out there mining this summer,

We need a hot spot to make up

For all the days
that we haven't mined.

Narrator: 100 ounces
will keep him on target

To pay the crew
and turn a profit.

Steve p.:
Well, that's a pretty good load.

Shawn and them guys are doing
pretty dang good out there.

We got right at 130 ounces here.

Narrator: shawn pomrenke's
bad-weather gamble paid off

With 130 ounces, or $215,000.

The christine rose's
biggest haul of the season.

I really am proud of shawn.
He's a hell of a worker.

He's got a lot of knowledge,

And he's a little bit
on the wild side.

I just got to tweak him
a little bit every so often

To fine-tune him.

We need more! More!

Narrator: across town...

Zeke, john, and emily need
at least a $15,000 cleanup

To make it to the end
of the season.

Tenhoff: what, otherwise you're
gonna be disappointed?

Yeah.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah.



That's the most gold
I've ever had in one container.

So what's that
at $1,600 an ounce?

Emily: it equals $19,440.

Give me some.

Yeah.

Tenhoff:
frisky with it.

This is like gold porn.

This is disgusting.

Oh, yeah.

So at the end of the day,
I think if it wasn't for john,

You know,
none of this would happen.

John is really the only person
I know

That can do the job
that I need done.

Stop it,
you're spilling it.

You're spilling it.

I think for this cleanup,
I think 10% is fair for you

Because you've been tending.

And me and john put a lot
of work into the dredge

At the beginning
of the season.

Okay, so what,
you and john are diving.

You and john are doing
the [bleep]

Like, what am I doing?
I might as well just quit.

You don't obviously
really need me.

Do you really want
to go there?

I mean, do you --
do you -- I mean,

I think that's coming from you
more than it is from us.

Well, you're saying

That you guys do everything,
basically.

Diving with zeke, and I kind of
figured 20% was fair,

But they're in there arguing
about 10%.

I didn't expect him
to lowball her like that.

[ Laughs ]

I'm -- I'm gonna vacate the
premises while they're arguing.

What -- well, no.

You can't -- you can't
just get angry and --

No, there's nothing to say.

Nothing to say?

I don't argue --
with what?

I mean, there are things --

There are a lot of things
that you don't do

Because you don't have
the skills to do them,

So I don't understand why
you're taking issue with this.

It's just -- it's just
frustrating to me.

I'm feeling like
I don't do anything.

You know, I feel like I don't
[bleep] do any of the things

To really [bleep] offer
to this whole [bleep] thing.

You know, it's just
[bleep] frustrating to me,

And when you [bleep] say it
like that.

Like, "john and I
just take the lead.

John and I do the lion's share
of the work."

It's like,
"what the [bleep]"

We're a three-person team,
and like, every --

Each person in that team
has to be doing

At least equal, you know,
something comparable

To an equal share of the work

If we're actually gonna be
a three-person team.

What, why?!

Why don't just [bleep] work
the two of you?

You know?
You don't need me for [bleep]

You can just find some
[bleep] local [bleep]

To do the tending.

What -- what -- you're
learning, aren't you?

[Bleep]

Aren't you?

[Bleep] you.

Why -- why [bleep] me?

[ Chair clatters ]

Emily.

Why [bleep] me
in this situation?

What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, I'm -- I'm gonna let them
hash that out.

I feel bad for emily.

It's difficult in any work
situation, you know,

When you're dealing with people
that are your friends.

I'm out of here.

I'm gonna go home, watch
some netflix, get some sleep.

[ Laughs ]

Girl:
are you gonna come back?

Narrator: another day ends
for the dredging fleet.

And a 911 call comes
into the nome p.d.

Shawn: weather's getting bad.
The whole harbor is iced over.

We're gonna get out and mine,
no matter what.

You weren't here.
Didn't hear from you.

Didn't know
if you were coming back.

I got to let you go.

That didn't go well.

Tenhoff: he answered the door
with a loaded .44

And pulled the trigger.
