10x09 - Closing the Gap

[bunniefuu]

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

Shawn: today I'm gonna focus
on the mega dredge,

Get it out of the water.

It's a huge step.

I'm starting to get excited.

Pulling a 445-by-165-foot
barge up a 13-foot incline.

That thing gets loose,

It'll annihilate
everything in the harbor.

Ken: we've been kicked in
the head pretty hard,

But the goal now is to keep
mining and be successful.

Failure's not in my genes.

Shaker's running good,
the grizzly's working good.

Now we're gonna
work 24 hours a day,

Seven days a week.

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

Which means that we're
gonna get half the gold.

So I'm gonna do this fast.

Lightning prospecting.

I don't like this weather.

I want to go.

If this boat sinks,
I sink.

Daryl:
I don't want to come up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Kris:
every time I move my hose,

I can hear the cha-ching
of cash.

Ken: shawn,
new mr. Gold in town.

Kris:
the last man standing wins.

Narrator:
a distinct chill in the air

Can mean only one thing.

It's the beginning of the end

Of the summer mining season.

With every degree
the thermometer drops,

The winter freeze ticks closer.

For the fleet,
there's still time.

But how much?

Every captain must ask
what they're willing to risk

To stay in the game
to the bitter end.

How hard you push,
how long you endure,

Will determine who
goes home early

And who goes home rich.

Shawn:
time to get to work.

At nome harbor...

We're gonna have
this thing out today.

Whoo!

Coming in hot.

Pulling a barge out.

Narrator: mr. Gold,

Captain shawn pomrenke
is on a mission

To rival ken kerr's
massive myrtle irene

By building an even larger,


Shawn: now we're getting
the rigging set up

Getting the 992 hooked
up to this thing

And get it out of the water.

It's time to pull
the mega dredge now,

Because if the ground
freezes and it turns to ice,

We're not gonna have traction

And we will not
get this thing out.

Just hoping we've got enough
bags and enough horsepower

To get this thing
up and on dry land.

Narrator: with his excavator
barge, the christine rose,

And his suction dredge,
the havilah,

Working around the clock,

Shawn is grinding his way
to the 1,200 ounces he needs

To complete construction of
his gold-gobbling behemoth.

We break these
chains, we're, uh,

Definitely doing
something wrong.

We got it.

Narrator: after sussing out

The richest pay
dirt of the season...

They all come
together right here.

...at the intersection

Of three historical
beach strikes...

Shawn: I'm seeing a big
clutter of gold, steady.

Narrator: ...shawn may finally
have the key to satisfying

His mega dredge's
multi-million dollar budget.

Shawn:
this is the kind of gold

That will pay for
the mega dredge.

Back up a little, lou.

♪♪

Narrator:
it's late in the season

And with temperatures dropping,

The $200,000 barge
is at risk of getting stuck

When the harbor freezes.

The expanding ocean ice
could literally crush it

Into a pile of scrap metal,

Along with shawn's
mega-dredge dream.

So the time to pull
the barge is now.

Shawn: let's get that bag.

Pull it up on the bag.

Air up one bag.

Pull it up a little bit more,

Get another bag under it

And we'll keep
adding bags as we go.

There's never been a barge
this size pulled out of nome...

Ever.

So there's no blueprint to say,

This is how far
your bags are apart,

This is what angle
the ramp needs to be.

I mean, this is
a learn as you go.


Up a 13-foot incline.

That thing gets
loose and takes off,

It'll annihilate
everything in the harbor.

Narrator: the plan is for


To pull the dredge
onto giant airbags

That will act like
a conveyor belt

Moving the barge to its
resting place for the winter.

But one miscue in
the tightly packed harbor

And the 633-ton barge

Will destroy anything
in its path.

♪♪

Shawn:
get that bag under here.

We're gonna bring 'em and
put them in the middle here.

Right here.

The trick is to get the
barge up onto the first bag.

It's always a pain in the a*s.

We're gonna put some air into
it and see how this works.

These things are so heavy,

You can't just drag
them out in the dirt.

You've got to have
'em off the ground.

And these bags are
specifically made

To pull big boats
out of the water,

So they're real expensive.

The myrtle irene
is on a hot streak.

Ken: we'll try to finish
off this season strong.

Keep this barge running.

It's nice to be able
to pay the bills.

Narrator:
the captain is still far

From his 2,000-ounce
summer goal.

And with the cost of crew
and fuel at 8 grand a day,

They'll need to mine 700 ounces

Just to break even
on the season.

Ken: we've been kicked in
the head pretty hard,

But the goal now is
to just keep mining

And be successful.

We've got millions tied up
in the myrtlein this project

And we need to have
that money back.

Narrator: but last week...

Ken:
a lot of gold in the bering sea.

We've got to find it.

Narrator: ...the myrtle
mined deep-water ground.

George: that's the spot.

...found by operations
manager george young.

It's looking really good.

And an initial 15-hour run

Proved the spot's
golden potential.



Badow!

Ken: so we're gonna
get back to work.

For the dig time we had,

You know, for 15 hours,
we're pretty happy with it.

It's an average of
two ounces an hour,

So that's over


We're just all about
keeping things running.

Narrator:
for the first time all season,

Captain ken has managed
an uninterrupted

Four-day mining streak.

Ken: you have to have
an attitude that you can do it.

And there's nothing
you can't get done,

Nothing that you can't fix.

Biggest, baddest boy
on the bering sea

Right here.

Old mr. Gold, he ain't
got nothing over on us.

I've been a gold miner
all my life as well.

I always had the dream.

I was panning gold in colorado

When I was like 6 years old.

My old man was a prospector.

Yee-haw.

My dad took me treasure
hunting with him

And panning gold.

And when you're a little kid,
it was just cool, you know.

I could tell the difference
between fool's gold

And real gold because he
showed me the difference.

There's a full load.

So, I love to gold mine.

It's bred in me

And I'm carrying on the
legacy of my old man.

Too bad he's not
around to see it.

But he's watching down.

He's looking down
on me from heaven.

Saying, "go get 'em, ken. You're
gonna be the next mr. Gold."

Oh, yeah, that's the stuff.

Narrator: if ken can keep
the myrtle irene

Feasting at full potential...

Ken: keep everything
running from now on,

Maybe we can pull it off yet.

Narrator: ...he still has a shot
at reaching his massive goal

And proving himself

Trying to get back on pace

But after several
days off the water,

The team has lost
the trail of gold,

As the first dive of
the day comes up a bust.

Emily: I basically have
three mouths to feed.

If we're not pulling
in an ounce plus an hour,

Nobody's really making money.

So, yeah, we're picky

That's pretty good gold.

It's been over an ounce

Here's
the continuation of it.

But it's all fine.

It's slowly

Emily has relocated her

It's getting
pretty rough out.

Wow.

Man.

Yeah, we're moving
up here again.

Narrator:
but the deeper you go,

The less friendly
the bering sea becomes.

I actually have to work
underneath the dredge almost

Because it's the only place

That seems to want
to let me work.

The wind speed is increasing.

It's just pushing us all around.

And we're really, uh,

And it's all we can do
to just stay in one spot.

We know the gold is out there

And we know we have the crew

And the capacity to
find and harvest it.

It's just, we're racing
against mother nature.

I want to get as close to
that 500-ounce mark as I can,

So I really need

As long as possible.

We're powerless

With respect to his season goal.

Still hoping to pull

In a little while,
we're not gonna be able

Kris: you're stupid.

Kris: this is all gold, all

Five ounces conservatively.

...while captain shawn pomrenke

Was pulling his massive
barge out of the harbor...

Shawn:
these guys are doing great.

Got a good crew this year.

Narrator:
...his crew kept mining.

Looks like some gold.

The crgoes to work,
with or without me.


Around the clock,

Two 12-hour shifts.

I mean, you have to
keep the gold flowing

So you can pay all
your hard costs,

Pay your labor,
and be able to keep

This mega dredge build going.

'Cause if we don't find
enough gold to do that,

Then it's all for naught.

Narrator: shawn still needs
over 800 ounces

To finish his mega dredge

That will rival
ken kerr's myrtle irene.

Shawn: here we go.

There's .3.

There's 10.











That's pretty good.

That's pretty good
for a day.

Narrator: 30 ounces is worth
nearly $40,000.

A small step towards
shawn's goal,

But a good haul for
one day on the water.

Shawn: thanks, guys, good job.

My crew believes in the
mega dredge as much as I do.

Without my crew, I'd be nothing.

That's huge that these
guys will stand behind me

And believe in what --
what we're doing.

Now it's time to go
spend all this gold.

♪♪

Narrator: across town...

Dave: we found good gold,
finally.

What do you think's
in there?

...captain ken kerr,

Along with business
partner dave young,

And operations
manager george young...



I'd say at least 175.

How much do you think?

...are weighing the fruits

Of the myrtle irene'sfirst
uninterrupted five-day run.

-Let's weigh it.
-Oh, yeah, man.

I'm tired of playing with it,
I want to see what it weighs.

Let's go.

George:
is it all gonna fit?

I don't know.


-Wow.

You owe me.
-That's looking good.

Holy cow.





-200.
-200.

Whoo!





I got to take a picture
of this

'Cause nobody's gonna
believe this.

Narrator: 211 ounces
is worth over $250,000.

-Yeah.
-We did it.

Ken: we're gonna do it.

Narrator: with the biggest
single cleanout

Of the season so far...

-Hey, george, smile.
-Gorgeous.

Ken: that's a hell of a picture.

Narrator:
...the bering sea beast

Is finally
living up to its name...

Ken: shawn.
There you go.

New mr. Gold in town.

Narrator:
...putting mr. Gold on notice

That the myrtle irene
is not going down

Without a fight.

Ken: we're hoping
our next cleanup's

Gonna be better than this.

I'll have to come up
with a better name

Than mr. Gold, though.

Like, "mega gold" or something.

Narrator: "mr. Gold" holds
on to the top spot,

But ken kerr is
back in the race.

Ken: do it. Let's go.

It's already starting to ice up.

So, we only got
a little window here.

Put in a 4-foot extension.

The longer the sluice box,
the more gold you catch.

Kris: and jump.

How am I supposed to find
gold on top of solid quartz?

George:
winter's about to come.

And I still owe my
brother over $40,000.

$10,000 Tablespoons.
That's what I do.

Kris:
I found a nugget.

Daddy's
little gold getter.

Man: yeah!
We got it, barry.

This could be the highest
ounce cleanup I've ever had.

Man, that fine gold's
pretty.

Narrator:
and later this season...

Once that big dredge
is up and running,

Then it's all over.

That thing
ain't gonna work.

You're gonna friggin'
be out there years

Getting
that thing working.
