10x11 - King of Nome

[bunniefuu]

Narrator: now...

On the season finale

Of "bering sea gold"...

Shawn:
you know it's the end of the
season when hell freezes over.

Narrator:
...winter has come
to nome, alaska.

Shawn:
it's always a little risky
being the last dredge out here.

Narrator:
with the first major
arctic storm on the horizon,

Most of the fleet
has already packed it in.

Ken:
everybody's gone, and we're
the only ones out there digging.

Narrator:
for the few that remain,

Only one will be crowned
king of the bering sea.

Shawn:
people coming to nome
want to knock me off the top.

I am gonna keep
the title of mr. Gold.

Want to give pomrenke
a run for his money.

We're gonna make
this season work.

Narrator:
as miners deliver the biggest
gold totals of their lives...

Kris:
time's ticking
'cause it got really cold.

We're last man standing

Because we're
just too stubborn to go home.

Emily:
being a lady dredge owner,

I have something
to prove every season.

Narrator:
...the end will come
for even the boldest captains.

Wow.

Go!

The last few hours
of dredging!

Shawn:
we're ready to make it happen!

The swell is getting big.
That'll sink us.

Narrator: but how far
are they willing to go...

Ken: h*! h*!

[ Groans ]

In the belly
of the beast!

Don't die on me.

Come on, baby.

Bad.

Exhaust from the diesel
is somehow contaminating

The air intake.

the air intake provides
a steady flow of clean oxygen

To the diver.

Contamination by diesel exhaust
causes irritation

To the eyes
and respiratory system.

It's kind of making my lungs
burn a little bit.

Extended exposure can be fatal.

Look at this.

So...that's our air intake.

...that's the air intake.

Wow.
It's oil coated.

Yeah.

Nasty looking.

Yeah.so, how's it getting it?

There's a breach
in the air-intake line.

A quick diagnosis
confirms the worst,

The air intake
is taking in more than air.

If we can't get good air,

Then we're not gonna
be dredging anymore.

We're not at a point
in the season

Where we can get a new
compressor or, you know,

Reinvent the air system.

We're at the point of
the season that we're
just trying to get

A last couple of hours in
before we pull the boat out.

Yeah, this is it.

We got to call it
for the season.

Narrator: coming up...

Ken: it filled up
and sunk to the bottom.

We got a problem,
houston.

Emily: final weigh-out
of the season.

Time to see
what the scale says.

Narrator:
off the coast of nome,

A looming winter storm

Has pushed nearly every miner
off the bering sea.

Only two are left,

Battling rough waters
and each other

they can get.

Rocking and rolling

Fill this box up with gold

...captain ken kerr is tearing
through gold-rich ground

To hit his 2,000-ounce mark...

Get a last-ditch
effort in here.

...and earn the right
to call himself

The new mr. Gold.

Wow.
Big old swells.

Narrator:
but even the 135-by-40-foot
myrtle irene

Is no match for the relentless
pounding of the winter waves.

Rough enough to call it.

Go ahead and pull the spudge up.
We'll drive it on in.

Yeah. Yeah.

The season's
getting ready to end,

And we don't want
to have to break ice

And deal with the elements
in the winter.

You could get really bad damage
with the ice out there.

So, now it's time
to shut her down,

Get out of the water, regroup,

And be ready next season.

Narrator:
after a strong 3 weeks of mining
to end his hard-fought season,

The captain cannot risk

Losing his $6 million dredge
at the finish line.

We got to go in.

You know, they say,
"go big or go home."

Went big, now we're going home.

And we have to have this thing
up and running right next year.

We'll get ahead of the game
and get our barge out today.

shy of her 500-ounce target.

Gold is true financial freedom.

So right now, I'm just trying

Is worth over $88,000...

Shawn loves you.

...bringing the myrtle irene
season total to 585 ounces.

Ken:
not where we really want to be,
but that's acceptable.

You know, that's acceptable gold
for the time we got in there.

Narrator: far short
of their original goal...

Good job.

...but it does prove

That when the beast
is running full steam,

The gold piles up fast.

We got probably $6 million
invested in our barge,

And we haven't got
near of it back,

So we got our work
cut out for us.

End of the season, brother!
Good job, dave.

Good job, kenny.
Good job, george.

Next year,
myrtle'sgonna kick a*s.

Narrator: across town...

Shawn: final cleanup
of this year.

...at the pomrenke compound...

We need this one
to be big.

We got a nice,
little run in.

Pushed the boat
to its limit.

...winter seas finally forced
the christine rose

Off the water...

Looks like some gold.

...and shawn's counting
on his final haul

To bring in
the 600 ounces he needs

To fund the mega dredge

And lock in his reputation
as mr. Gold.

Cody:
we're gonna weigh it up,

And that's gonna
be it for the year.

Who-h*-hoa.

Yellow, yellow.
Pretty mellow.

Weighing up
the final cleanup.

-About 180.

-Ohh! Almost 190.

-Nice.

[ Laughs ] nice job.

Narrator: 187 ounces
is worth over $243,000,

Bringing shawn to an impressive


Over $1 million
of bering sea gold.

Still not enough to finish
the mega dredge,

But we are a lot closer.

Thanks, guys.
Good job.

Narrator:
though short of his goal,
it's enough to keep mr. Gold

At the top of the gold counts,

Determined...way to go.

...to stay ahead
of the competition.

Shawn:
I mean, that was a decent year,

Made 100 ounces.

Money is gonna be tight,

But we will get the mega dredge
out on the water next summer.

Gonna be a very busy winter.
