10x08 - Every Ounce Counts

[bunniefuu]

Narrator:
now on "bering sea gold"...

Ken: as the season's wrapping up
here, the weather is turning.

So, these last few weeks
we got

Are pretty important
for us to get gold in the box.

Any more breakdowns,
we're just gonna call it.

A lot of gold in the bering sea.

Just got to get enough time
on that good gold

Where you can clean up.

Shawn: just to keep the dredges
I have going is a small fortune.

So, every operation
has to make money.

Every ounce counts.

I've done this long enough
to know

That you just keep running.

You run as many hours
out of the day that you can.

Kris: I'm concerned
working with my dad

Because I don't know
if I can trust him 100%.

At least when I had
my brother there,

I knew that
between the both of them,

I was gonna probably be okay.

Now I'm not so sure.

Looks great.

Lots of chunky gold everywhere.

I would have gotten rid
of andy a long time ago

If I'd have known
this was gonna happen.

Rocking 'n' rolling
out here.

Oh, my

I got to get
in the water right away.

Stupid.

-Bah, it's so stressful.
-Got to find it.

About to go have some fun

Narrator: on the eroica,

The sluice box is chained

And hangs loose
to absorb rough seas.

But the movement of the waves
is causing the sluice box

To repeatedly pinch
the dangling fuel line.

If the fuel line ruptures,

For violating
the clean water act.

Hey, daryl.

Daryl: yeah.

But there's a problem.

So all we can do is try
and prime it back up and see.

Potentially what happened is
we had a big enough air bubble

To where the pump was just
sucking air and it k*lled it.

Narrator: the pump must be
filled with water,

Or primed, in order
for it to start.

If the pump won't prime,
the pump won't work.

I mean, that's the least
impact of possibilities.

The most impactful
of possibilities

Is that our pump went out,

And I don't even want to think
about what that would entail.

Narrator:
if the pump doesn't work,

The eroica

And without suction,
there is no mining.

a diver down making gold.

Narrator: ...if she can keep
the eroicaon the water

And moving material.

Emily:
the gold is really good,

But I don't want to count my
nuggets before we've found them.

Narrator:
three miles north...

Some pretty good gold
in there.

...arctic sea operations manager
george young

And deckhand turtle thornton

Are cleaning the
myrtle irene'sconcentrates

From a 15-hour
run on the grounds.

It's always tough to really
know how much we got,

But it's looking
really good.

George: you know, I'm really
hoping that this cleanout's

Really good for dave and ken.

If they aren't getting
at least 30 ounces,

They're not making any money.

Narrator:
after a season of breakdowns,

The scale will show

If the $6 million dredge
has a chance at redemption

Before the end of the season.

Hey,
you weighing gold yet?

The moment has arrived.

If this don't pay off,
we're gonna be in a bind.

It's either make money or quit.

Narrator:
and the truth lies in the pan.

You ready to weigh it up?

It feels cool enough.

Oh, yeah.

Here we go.

Five.

There's, uh, 10 ounces.



♪♪



Right around 30 ounces.

That's 2 ounces
an hour for 15 hours.

That's not too bad.

Narrator: 29.5 ounces is worth
over 38 grand,

Proof positive of the myrtle's
gold-mining acumen.

We're gonna get back
to work, get back

And put some more
of that in there.

Right on.

More importantly,
she didn't break down,

Rewarding ken kerr's faith
in his bering sea beast.


For what time we got on the box.

Just got to keep the time going,
you know, keep it running.

So, yeah, we're happy
about what we're doing.

Narrator:
in other words,

The captain has a shot
to salvage his season.

Now we just got to get this sold
so I can pay the bills.

Narrator:


Kris: looks pretty good.

...after pushing himself
to exhaustion

On a 12-hour dredge...

Five ounces, conservatively.
Maybe seven.

I want to say seven,
but I'm saying seven anyways.

...captain kris kelly
is assessing the sluice...

This is all gold,
all the way in through here.

...from the family's first day
on the water

Without little bro
and lead diver andy kelly.

Kris: I'm trying to find
the big money.

That's what I was doing
with andy, big money.

I'm thankful my dad
is still there.

I know life is tough right now,

But I'm showing him this is all
gonna be profitable

And I need him to
stick around with me.

Anything happens
and I lose my dad, I'm done.

Tomorrow morning we're
gonna get out there

And we're gonna hit it
as hard as we can.

All we got to do is work hard
and sky's the limit for us.

Narrator: mr. Gold,
captain shawn pomrenke,

Reigns supreme on the board,

But captain ken kerr
and the myrtle irene

Are looking to make up
for lost time.

Shawn: coming in hot!

It's time to pull
the mega dredge.

That thing gets loose,

It will annihilate
everything in the harbor.

Baddest boy
on the bering sea.

Try to finish off
the season strong.

Kris: with andy down,
I have to do all the diving.

No matter what, we're gonna
make this work.

I feel like
I'm getting pummeled.

We're racing
against mother nature.

It don't want to come up.

Man #3: go for the gold.

Kris: I hear the cha-ching
of cash.

Ken: shawn, there you go.

New mr. Gold in town.

Narrator:
and later this season...

How you doing, buddy?

...the captains
come face-to-face.

I want to make you
an offer.
