07x04 - Double Jeopardy

[bunniefuu]

The clock's ticking
On the season.

April 15th is right
Around the corner.

We're almost outta time.
We're on some gold.

But it's not enough.

There's thousands of ounces
Of gold just sitting out there.

Right now, it's about
Building up as much time

In the sluice box as possible.

That's how you do it.

We need to make
Some changes.

I have a solution that'll
Double our production --

Double sluice, double the gold.

Two sluice boxes,
Two pump motors,

Two people diving.

That's just not gonna work.

If the kellys are ever
Gonna be successful,

This is the season.

And I'm not gonna fail.

Right now, we need
To kick it in full gear.

If we do half of our job,
It'll lead to something bigger.

Get down. Power down.
Power down.

We're at the point now where
We got to go big or go home.

Sometimes, you got to cut
A deal with the devil.

So here he comes.


Of nome, alaska,

Ice miners have been given
A golden opportunity --

Access to virgin ground,

Shawn pomrenke's claim 38.

But as the season
Reaches the halfway mark...

...They're starting
To feel the pressure.

On the far eastern edge
Of the claim at the clark...

All this gold is
Super fine gold.

But there's a lot of it.

...Zeke tenhoff and emily riedel

Are trying to make
The most of the limited time

They have left.

Hey, look at that.

And this most recent cleanup
Will tell them where they stand.

I'm pretty happy.
That looks pretty nice.

I know that the operation
Is on really fantastic gold.

We will do whatever
We have to do.

We have to make this work.

Ooh!

Pile of gold.

Three weeks ago...

I guarantee you will
Get this thing started.

Hey, don't start the morning off
By being a , okay?

...Short on cash to get
The operation running,

Zeke forged
An unlikely partnership.

There's a level of
Practicality in gold mining.

If you're broke,
Who are you going to call?

I mean, zeke's not
Gonna call vernon.

Zeke's not gonna
Call the kellys.

Are you kidding me?
I was zeke's best option.

And the two former friends

Are looking to lay
The groundwork

For a successful enterprise.

Yeah. Look at that
Little pile of gold.

-yeah.
-whoo!

But despite landing
On a hot spot

Straight out of the gate...

This sluice box
Is a mess.

...Lately, things have
Taken a turn for the worse.

This is, basically,
Spraying gold out.

That's such a sexy
Streak of gold in there.

Now, after losing
Precious time...

Dude,
I'm guessing 7 ounces.

I'm gonna guess --

I'm gonna guess 10.


I'm gonna hold steady at 7.

...They're hoping
This cleanup jump-starts

The back half of their season.

We're on 1 ounce, 2...



No!





Of dive time is less
Than they hope for.

I wish we'd done better.

And the budding partnership
Is still on thin ice.

We need to produce more.
I mean, we --

We just don't have the time
To be doing average.

We need to be doing
Extraordinarily well.


We're on some gold.

But it's -- it's not enough.
We need to be working faster.

We need to be getting more gold.

And I think I have a solution
That'll double our production.

We need to hustle
Our little buns,

Get my other sluice going.
We can push it.

And with these
Kinda numbers,

I think that we can
Get up to 100 ounces.

I think we could do it.
I want to put together

An operation that has two divers
And two sluice boxes,

Two entire complete
Independent systems

That work together to try
To dredge the same target.

And my idea is you would get
Double the productivity done

In half the time.

With two divers
Working at the same time,

The team can find the gold

And clear out
The hole twice as fast,

Allowing them to move through
The claim more efficiently.

Two sluice boxes,
Two pump motors,

Two people diving.

That's just not
Gonna work.

Zeke wants to do
This double sluice thing.

And it's hard enough
To make one

Freaking sluice box work.

Considering the fact that, like,
Time is of the essence,

I think we should
Bring on another diver.

If we're gonna try to pull off
What we want to pull off,

Then we need another diver.

I mean, we -- we don't have
The help that we need.

An additional diver would allow

The clark to increase
Their dive hours

And work virtually
Around the clock.

At this point, I can't
Split the cut any more.

I've been working
My tail off.

I can't split any of my cut
Into another entity.

You know, I mean,
Who knows?

You've been working your tail
Off because we're understaffed.

Yeah, but if we have
Any more people,

Then the cut's
Gonna be too small.

But the whole philosophy,
The whole premise...

The whole philosophy is that
We're not gonna bring any...

We're not gonna bring another
Entity into the other operation.

Well, this isn't a
"You telling me what to do."

-yes, it is.
-this is an equal partnership.

So I can have my say.

A lot of people
Have come before zeke

With a double sluice box idea.

And it's never worked.

In fact, it's generally
Ended abysmally.

Let's just go back
To the agreement, okay?

Here's how I understand
The agreement, emily.

I have an operation, right?
This is the operation.

It has gabe.
It has sam.

It has me.
It has janae.

And it has my equipment.

I needed a little bit
More money

To get the operation
On the ice.

Emily, you wanted to buy in
As a 50/50 partnership

Of the operation
As it already existed.

You are not
Buying into this

So that you can then change this
As you want it.

I don't know what
Dream world you live in

In terms of bringing
On investors,

But as soon as you
Bring on somebody

To the board,
They have a voice.

-I'm not telling you what to do.
-calm down for a second.

I'm telling you that we need
To have a discussion about it.

You need to honor
My voice.

-okay.
-and I will honor yours.

I don't think it's her place
To try to tell me

How we should devise
Operations like this.

I'm in charge of the gold

Recovery aspect
Of this operation.

And she's in charge of keeping
Everything running up top.

I want to get a two-diver
Operation going.

We'll see how it works.
We'll try to get it streamlined.

In another 2 weeks,

We could reassess
Finishing out the season

With an additional diver.

Despite objections,

The executive decision
Has been made.

Okay.

And now,
The fate of the clark

Lies in the success or failure
Of the double sluice.

So I think that we could follow
The gold right along here.

So I think our new dive hole
Should be right around here.

Our days are numbered.

And zeke wants
To stop everything

And get another
Sluice box going?

I'm upset because I see us
Losing a lot of money.

This is insane.

Half a mile west,
The wild ranger.

Hey, jerry,
Let's move this one first.

Yeah. Trying to get it
Best lined up right now.

Vernon adkison's
On the move,

Hoping to find a honey hole
That can vault production

To the level
He desperately needs.

We're right in the middle
Of a move taking longer

Than needs to take.

If we don't make our goal
For this winter,

It's gonna put me in a
Serious bind come summertime.

I don't even know if I'll be
Able to get up an operation.

After a disappointing
Campaign in the summer...

- man.
. No.

...Most of vernon's
Savings went down the drain.

It's only a quarter
Of a million dollar robot.

This season...

All right, baby!

...The captain took
What he had in the bank

To give it one last try.



But despite a hot start...

This is my claim, brad!

It's the worst case of the crud
Nome's had in about 20 years.

...He's quickly fallen
Off the pace he's aiming for.

Right now, what we're
sh**ting for is 200 ounces.

We got to get gold.

We will get gold this winter.

All right. Hold it.
Hold it.

The reason I do this is

To make sure that my family's
Taken care of.

And I can't let 'em down.

We're short on gold.
The season's short.

So we're gonna have to change
The way we're doing things.

With nearly half
The season gone

And still well short
Of his goal...

It's dragging on.
We're at the point now

Where we got to go big
Or go home.

...Vernon is shaking things up.

So I've called
In another diver.

He's a hard worker,
Good diver, good gold finder.

But the additional
Diver is no stranger.

He's worked with me
Before.

And I know the content
Of his character.

He's a little hard
To get along with.

And his reputation
With the crew

Is sure to precede him.

Sometimes, you got to cut
A deal with the devil.

So here he comes.


Nome at the wild ranger...

So I've called
In another diver.

He's a hard worker,
Good diver, good gold finder.

Falling behind his
Pace to reach 200 ounces...

He's worked with me
Before.

And I know the content
Of his character.

He's a little hard
To get along with.

...Vernon adkison's
Gold-mining dreams

Are fading fast.

Sometimes, you got to cut
A deal with the devil.

So here he comes.

So the captain's bringing in
A potential ace.

Hey, jase.

But the move to bring
In jason walker

Could be a house of cards.

Thank you
For coming out.

Through the years...

-you wanna go, vern?!
-yeah!

-you're damn right I do!
-come on, boys. Hey, hey!

...Vernon has brought
Plenty of colorful

Personalities into
The ranger fold.

My god.
I can't believe it.

They don't have
A weight belt!

But no one has quite
Matched the intensity...

You wouldn't be here
If it wasn't for me!

...Of jason walker...

Okay? Any fool
Can go down there

And suck up gold
After you lead 'em there,

All right?
This is my spot!

And I brought you here!

You're so full of!

Pop the champagne,
Elaine.

...Yet he was the diver
Who also guided vernon

To his greatest mother lode.

Anyway, let's jump
Into the office here.

Let's talk this over.

Bringing jason back
Is a gamble.

I've hired him, fired him
Three or four times or more.

But I know that he knows
How to find gold.

So I'm gonna give him
Another crack at it.

I know we --
We've had some history.

Not all of it
Is good, okay?

Kinda like world w*r ii
Type history.

But, you know,
I could put it all behind us.

The main thing is gonna be
Getting along with the crew.

I can't upset the apple cart
When it comes to crew.

That old
Egotistical jason

Who wanted to show everybody how
Badass he was, that guy's gone.

This is --
This is humble jason.

This is --
This is spiritual jason.

Good.

Jason, he's recently had
A total change of attitude.

As a matter of fact, the guy
Done went and got religion.

I'm not try -- I'm not gonna
Try to run anything.

I'm not gonna step
On anybody's toes.

Maybe you could do
A whole lot less cussing

And a whole lot
Less yelling.

That's the first thing
You have to do

Is get
That foul language out.

And -- and the positive
Energy

Just comes in
On its own

Without needing to do
Anything else.

It'll just happen.

When jason is in
His positive mode,

He's a pretty positive guy.

Fact is, I mean,
He's up and down.

Right now, he's up.
-I'm ready to dive.

Well, good. I think
We'll make a good team.

With the zen
Hopefully flourishing,

It's time to sell the crew
On the new rehire.

Hey, guys.
I brought jason out today

To help us.

Everybody's
Got bills to pay.

Everybody's short on money.

You all have got
Families to feed.

Everybody's depending on you.

So, what I'm saying

Is I think jason
Will be a good addition.

He got my full trust
And confidence.

Just got a few weeks left.

And, I just want
This operation

To be a total
Stark-raving success.

And then,
A few other things.

I mean, I --
I've told you all before.

I try to run a class operation.

We want to keep the foul
Language down to a minimum.

It'll bring out
The best in everybody.

-all right.
-I agree.

Okay. All right.
We ready to rock and roll?

Let's just kick it
In the a*s, guys.

I'll prove myself to 'em in,
Just a couple of days.

Vernon's put his faith

In the controversial
Gold whisperer.

I don't know how the crew's
Gonna take to him.

I -- I got a feeling he might,

Very soon,
Rub them the wrong way.

Now it's up to jason
To deliver heavenly results

Or cause all hell
To break loose.

They should have
High expectations.

You know, that's the reputation
That precedes me.



...On the reaper...

Shawn assures me we'll get 5
Ounces of gold out of that hole.

He assures me that.

And if we do
Half of our job,

It'll lead
To something bigger.

...With a goose egg
For gold this season,

Kris kelly's trying
To lead his family

To an epic comeback.

We have never really had
Great success, as a family.

But we are, like, this close
To being successful doing this.

All we have to do is work
Better together as a family.

And I think this could be
The start of a great business.

Jay!

For the kellys,

This winter got off
To a combative start...

Hey!

-hey, that's your problem.
-this is not gonna happen!

...When they encroached
On the wild ranger's claim.

So it's just like,
"You, vernon.

We're doing it,"
You know.

Well, I don't want to
Use those words.

But shawn quelled
The dispute...

We'll help you guys
Out a little bit,

Give you
Some gps coordinates.

...By putting the kelly clan
On a lucrative spot.

I'm glad pomrenke
Sent us over here.

Now spirits and expectations
Are high

As the kellys look
To get their season on track.

Here we are at the east
Side of shawn's claim.

Taken us a lot of problems
To get here.

We've had breakdowns,
Blowups.

All those problems,
Who cares about anything?

We're on a good spot.
We got nobody around us.

And shawn guarantees
Us big gold.

Getting really late
In the season.

And nothing's really
Going good for us.

But all we have to do
Is trust shawn.

And I think everything
Might turn around.

I mean,
There could be huge amounts

Of gold underneath there.

Taking the first shot
On the new grounds...

You know what you should do?
You should go in that corner

And make one trench
Going south.

...The reaper's ace diver,
Andy kelly.

And with time quickly
Running out on the season,

It's critical they score big.

It's very important
Andy goes down there

And turns this into something.

That's a little
Chilly on the back.

Andy, how's mr. Gold's east
Side of the claim looking?

There's some big
Rocks down here.

He's gonna find gold.

He's gonna find the gold
Under those big rocks.

I don't mean to put
A lot of pressure on you,

But it's kind of imperative

That you find
Some gold right now.

Hey, so let's
Get a gold report.

The clay is going down
In the next load.

There's gold in the clay.

Sucking up gold
At the same time.

All right, andy!
Good job!

The kellys may finally
Be turning their season around.

I'm happy to be working
On shawn's claim.

This is the year that we
Have our best chance ever.

Makes life worth living.

Starting to get
A little pile of gold.

That's what we need.

My leg just got cold
All of a sudden.

Cold!

Kris!

Dude, what's up?

What?

Well, that sucks!

Without hot water
To protect the diver

And his wet suit...

...The frigid 30-degree ocean
Can quickly induce hypothermia.

You know what?
I'm coming up.

Get down. Power down.
Power down.

We got a hot-water problem.

Looks like we busted
One of our copper coils inside.

We have to put 20 feet of copper
Coil on it to make it work.

The ailment's been diagnosed.

I've got it at my house,

But that's, like,
A day trip away.

And until the kellys
Can get a new coil,

They'll remain goldless.

Nothing can ever
Go right for me.

Halfway through
The season right now,

And everything's
Going to.

We need to get some gold
Before we get out of here.

I don't know
What to do.

West of nome on claim 38...

...The kellys' hot start
Has suddenly gone cold.

You know what?
I'm coming up.

Get down. Power down.
Power down.

A broken water heater
Forced andy

To terminate his dive.

And the kellys are still stuck
At the starting gate.

We got
A hot-water problem.

Looks like we busted
One of our copper coils inside.

We have to put 20 feet of copper
Coil on it to make it work.

Without a single ounce
Of gold at the midway point

In the season...

I've got it at my house,

But that's, like,
A day trip away.

...The kellys need
The heater fixed fast.

I don't know
What to do.

It shouldn't be anywhere
Near this hard.

We're really not having
A lot of luck.

We need
A hardware store.

We need a hardware
Store on skis.

No problem.

But brad's not quite
Ready to throw in the towel.

Need a lot of gold
At any cost.

So I have to use
Extreme measures.

To fix the heater,
Brad's looking for a hot lead

In the backyard
Of a mining rival.

Instead of leaving
A down payment,

Brad leaves
Some words of advice.

Don't leave anything
Laying around

Because you never know who will
Come around and pick it up.

Back at the reaper...

Yeah, I can whip up
A hot-water heater.

...The coil burglar has returned
With the confiscated piece.

Hey, dad.

Um, good job in,
Acquiring these parts.

Where'd you get 'em?

Brad's hoping
To build a hot-water heater

From scratch
Using the borrowed coil.

What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
Put this inside this.

And I'm gonna force heat
In through here,

Pump cold water in here,
Get hot water out here.

My own invention,
Patent pending.

The plan -- heat up the coil
And an old stove pipe,

Run water through it,

And, presto, the cold water
Will, hopefully,

Become warm enough.

I know it does look
Slightly complicated

To the untrained eye,

But right here,
This thing is gonna work.

Don't judge it
On what it looks like.

For the kellys,
It all boils down

To a rube goldberg water heater.

I think it's gonna work.

Maybe it's gonna work.

Whoa.

We got
Hot water here.

Fixed that!

That's for damn sure.

Brad's contraption works,

And piping-hot water
Has never felt so good.

The macgyver brad kelly
Right here pulls one

Out of his a*s, and it works.

I think we need
To be just like...

High-five, people.
I told you it was gonna work.

We got it figured out.
I am -- I am legend.

Let's just get
Everything going now.

With water to heat
Andy's wet suit...

How's the water?

...It's time
To get the gold.

Hey, andy,
How's it look down there?

Are you in the spot?

Yeah.
I'm right at the spot.

There's gold
All over the clay.

All right!

Here looks really nice.

Like, there's flower gold
All over the top of this.

Yeah.
That's great news andy.

Fine gold, flower gold,
That all adds up.

That's free money.

We're finally
On really good gold.

Everything's turning around.
And everything's getting good.

With the heater
Working, the reaper's smoking,

And the kellys
Are finally in business.

Yeah. Sucking up
The good stuff, jay.

Right on, andy!

Half a mile east...

Okay, could you actually
Pull it back a little more?

...At the clark...

Okay. Perfect.

...It's time
For the debut

Of the controversial
Double sluice.

This'll be our first time

Running two sluices
At the same time.

...And zeke tenhoff's hoping
It'll be his greatest creation.

I consider myself
To be kind of an innovator.

I don't know if it's gonna
Work out perfectly.

But I like to think
That I'm on the cutting edge

Of trying to do things different
And trying something new.

Well, we're set up
On some awesome gold.

That hole, two sluices.

So we're gonna have
Double gold today.

The launch of the double sluice
Took over 20 hours of setup,

All at the expense of diving.

So the fate of the clark is now
Tied to zeke's grand experiment.

We're out of time
For this to work.

It's kind of like now or never.

But business partner
Emily riedel

Smells trouble ahead.

Our days are numbered.

And zeke is wanting to spend
All this effort and time

Getting the second
Sluice box going.

It's hard enough to get
A consistent operation

Going with one sluice.

Why are you gonna
Throw in a double?

It's like double the problems.

I understand the need to want
To reinvent the game.

But this is going too far.

All right.
Coming in.

Hell, yeah. So awesome.

Down below, each diver
Will cover different ground.

And when one finds a hot spot,

They'll tag-team
The area together...

You're in the sand?
Found sand, zeke?

-is that where you are?
-there you are.

That's awesome!

...If they can ever
Get to mining.

That's right, bro!

There's a lot
Of bros down there.

You, dude!
I'm going to the cobble, dude!

I'll kick your a*s!

Puddle right there.

Finally...

The boys
Get down to business.

Hey, topside,
This is zeke.

Should I get
A little more heat?

Roger that.
More heat.

And now, topside,
Emily has the challenge

Of managing two divers
And two systems.

All right.
Good, you guys.

Dude, it looks like
All this sand is painted.

No
I'm coming over.

Hey, can I have
Some more tether?

Yeah. Copy.

All right, good.

- see that?
- what the?

Yeah.
We got you. Topside.

Yeah. Roger that.

More tether.

Hey. How do your guys'
Air feel?

Good.

I don't know.
I'm feeling kind of distressed,

Like, stressed out having...

Yeah. What's up?

Yeah. Roger that.

Yeah, it's stressful, like,

Trying to keep two people
Alive instead of one.

Too much

I hope those boys are having
A good time down there.

- look at this.
- this is.

This double sluice
Better work.

Otherwise,
This season's gonna fail.

You guys could not be
Any more high-maintenance.


West of nome on claim 38...

I listen to the voice
In my head.

And, it told me
To come right here.

Jason, he's pontificating.

He goes where no man
Has gone before

When it comes to doing
His thinking, let me tell you.

...Well short
Of his 200-ounce goal

And desperate to find
A pay streak,

Vernon adkison
Put his season

In the hands of
Gold whisperer jason walker.

I was actually wanting
To walk over that way.

And it said,
"A little further south.

A little east, east, east,
A little to your left."

"East, a little to your left,"
Is what it was telling me.

And then over there, it said,
"You're almost on it.

You're --
You're coming onto it now."

So right here is where...

Time's running out.
We don't have enough gold.

Jason's delivered big
For vernon before.

He knows how to find gold
On some kind of strange level.

I can't even
Figure it out myself.

And now with his
Life savings on the line,

The veteran captain's hoping
History repeats itself.

What we really want to find
Is sand with no cobble,

Sand with no cobble
Under it.

Sand rarely traps gold,

And mining through it
Is time-consuming work,

So it's the type of area
Miners usually avoid.

Yeah, but how... We can't
Tell that with a camera.

The only way we can tell
That is to go down there.

No, we can't.
We can't.

You have to free your mind
And let consciousness guide you.

And it guided me
Right over there.

And we'll do an ounce
An hour all day long in sand.

I'm a gambling man. An ounce
An hour sounds good to me.

Let's go.

The whisperer has spoken.

All right.
Let's do it.

And the wild ranger
Is on to their next move.

Right here, I know
We're gonna do much better.

I feel good about this.
I feel real good about this.

Looks like we're on
The jason walker plan.

But not everyone is on board.

It takes a lot of time.

And it takes a lot of effort
To make, a move.

Better pay out.

Cut our holes
And get ready to move.

Every move is costly
And time-consuming.

And with vernon facing
A make-or-break season,

He needs this hole
To be a winner.

We're definitely gonna
Give it a shot.

If the hole's a dud, it makes
For, a very bad situation.

Let's fire it up!

These moves, even though
We can move pretty quickly,

It cuts into production.

So the longer
We can stay in place,

The better --
Better I like it.

But if we're not
Making the gold,

Then, you know,
It's just wasted effort.

Let's go
Get some gold.

The move is complete,

And it's time for
The chosen one to deliver.

Jason's down.
We'll see what he does.

Okay, throttle up.

Right now, we're just
Kinda scoping out the area

And punch some holes,
Clean some sand out.

I know jason knows how
To move sand quite efficiently.

So, you know,
One of the reasons

We got him here is
For what he brings to the table.

We'll see if he can,
Get through that sand

And put some gold in the box.

The only person I know
That likes working

In the sand is jason.

Jason, how's it
Looking down there?

I got a pretty good
Size area knocked down

But still not big enough
To start over and work.

All right. I'll leave you
Alone for a minute.

Tell me what you're
Seeing down there, over.

I'm at the bottom
Of the sand hole,

And I got into some cobble,
Into some clay.

Are you seeing any gold
Underneath the sand?

Not yet.

He's been down there
Moving sand for 40 minutes.

We don't have time to waste
On mediocre or bad holes.

Jason's hour
In the sandbox is up.

I just, -
I wanna come up.

Okay. Coming up.

And it's time to see
If he's delivered the goods.

We'll check the temp mat.

If the hole is a dud,
We're gonna have to move.

Jason, you know,
A lot of things that --

That he's talked about,
They've turned out to be true.

And,
Jason picked this spot.

So, um, considering the time

We had to work and everything,

It better pay off.

This'll tell us everything
We need to know

About our new diver.

This is the moment
Of truth right here.

That's more of dave
Than I ever wanted to see.


Nome on the wild ranger...

We'll check the temp mat.

If the hole is a dud,
We're gonna have to move.

Falling behind
In his quest to hit 200 ounces,

Vernon adkison
Has placed his trust

In the unorthodox
Methods of jason walker.

This'll tell us everything
We need to know

About our new diver.

And after pinpointing
A sandy spot

As a potential gold mine,

It's the moment of truth.

This is a dud, guys.

This is, like, nothing.

After hours of moving
And diving,

The result --

A worst-case scenario,
Nothing but sand.

We gotta get
The hell outta here.

At this point in the game,

I wanna go where
We know the gold is.

With the april 15th
Deadline looming,

The veteran captain's up
Against it now more than ever.

Following jason, sometimes,
You gotta do what you gotta do.

I mean, I gave it a shot.

In retrospect, I mean,
It didn't work out.

So, obviously,
It wasn't a good idea.

We got no more time
To be around.

Half a mile west
At the reaper...

So it looks like
You found some gold.

'cause the gold hole's
Panning out.

So far this season,
The kelly boys

Have fought their way
To zero ounces.

Let's see what
We got here.

But today could mark
The turning point.

It's getting really late
In the season.

This is the first cleanup.
We need to get some gold.

Okay, this is it.
Everybody, quiet moment.

First gold cleanup
For the reaper, 2016.

Okay, here we go.

Okay.
We're at half an ounce.

One ounce, here we go.





High-five, people.

Just under 2 ounces
Won't pay for a new yacht,

But for the kellys,
They're finally on the board.

And working together
As a family

Just may have been the trick.

-we're gonna sell this gold.
-where's my cut?

Where's your cut?
Yeah, yeah.

We're all gonna get money.
Everybody's gonna get money.

Here we go.
This is what we got.

So this is the tip
Of the spear.

I think we're turning around
Our season right now.

This is just a taste
Of what's to come.

We're unstoppable.

On the far eastern
Edge of claim 38...

Yeah.
That looks pretty good.

...For zeke's double
Sluice, it's judgment day.

How do you feel
About that?

And the mad scientist
Has high hopes for his creation.

You can't talk until the
Gold weighs out, man.

You're setting yourself up
For a bad time.

I think that if the
Double-sluice operation works,

It's gonna be kind of
A groundbreaking type of thing.

But if it doesn't, it puts me

In kind of a financially
Precarious position.

And that would be
A huge failure in my book.

All right.
Let's weigh out mine first.

Okay.

If the team scores
Well above 5 ounces...

All right.
Zeke's up to 1.2.

...Then the double sluice
Will have proven its value.

Five hours...




You're gonna beat that?

I -- I can pretty
Much guarantee.

Your pile looked
A little smaller.

Dude,
Just weigh the.

I'm tired of all the
Talking. Just do it.

There's one.

And she's rich.
Two.

There's 3.


-no!
-3.5.

Three point...

No!


By almost a half an ounce.


How much gold we get in 5 hours?

-7.2.
-7.2?

-yeah. High-five.
-yeah, dude. Regardless.

Production for
The clark has soared,

All thanks to the double sluice.

Game changer, dude.
It's a game changer.

No doubt in my mind that, like,
A double sluice situation

Is the way to go.

I'm super happy
To have innovated

And made an ice-dredging system
That works better

Than anything that's been
Seen out here before.

I think this is the ticket.

I think this is how you
Should do ice mining.

I don't know
About emily, though.

She still doesn't
Look really very convinced.

I didn't expect it to work
This well. And it did.

So maybe
You're onto something.

High-five.
I like humble emily.

I have to give it to zeke.

I mean, I will acknowledge
When I was wrong.

Um, somehow, by some miracle,
The double sluice works.

I'm impressed
That we pulled it off.

I never expected that.

Despite the added time
And trouble...

Double sluice,
Double the gold.

...Zeke's invention proves
To be a winner...

...And the uneasy partnership
Is on the rise.

The clark and the reaper score.

And the landlord takes his cut.

Ice mining's
Super dangerous.

There's not really
Any margin for error.

Just another day
At the office.

This is bad!

You want me to get
Outta the water or what?

Right now.

- you're about to run out of air.
- where the are you?

Don't you ever talk to me
Like that again

While I'm down
In the water!
