Winter mining
is entering the homestretch.
And the BSG family
is getting desperate
as the walls close in.
Nome's top boss...
We got McCully
moving in.
...fighting
to stay on top.
All walls down
in the season,
we're going for it.
As he fends off
the challenge from a young gangster.
Hundred ounce gold
is closer and closer.
He's looking to make bank.
The Salty Don...
We're running out of time.
...refusing
to go quietly.
Blast through
that .
Trying to find gold down here.
And the wise guy...
...trying to crawl
out from the abyss.
Jam that
in there.
Yeah, baby.
In the final days,
who will become a made man?
And who will get iced?
What's happening?
damn it.
Hold on, hold on.
Get him out. Get him out now.
Get him up, get him up.
We got really good gold
on this hole.
We're all set up.
I'm gonna go down,
clean it up.
Once I get this hole
finished off, cleaned up,
then we're gonna move
over here.
We'll put a lot of gold
in the box.
Short amount of time.
k*lling it.
To get his hundred ounces
and put a hit
on Chris McCully,
Nome's top boss
is rolling up his sleeves
and digging in deep.
We're on this
sand and cobble and lye.
But we're getting late
in the season and we're
heading further out.
Doing deeper dives,
less time on the bottom
but, hell...
Nothing ventured,
nothing gained.
Last time out,
we got on a sweet
pay streak.
But the problem is
this trail's leading out
to deeper water.
It's, like, 40 feet.
That's pretty much our limit.
Anything beyond that
is too dangerous.
Even at 40 feet,
we can only stay down
two hours
before we get into trouble.
People can die
from pressure issues
at 40 feet.
It's no joke.
You gotta know
what you're doing.
Everything's about ready
to go here, huh?
I'll hop down
and just mop her up.
Two hours ain't a whole
lot of time to clean
this hole out.
But need to take big risks
for big rewards.
I heard Chris McCully
is k*lling it.
And I'm willing to play
with fire to stay
one step ahead.
He's gonna get some gold.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Luke,
are you out of comm yet?
- Good comm, Tim.
- It's loud and clear.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, you can really
tunnel back in there
a little ways.
Oh, almost on the bottom.
On the bottom.
I'll go find
the flannel hose here.
All right.
All right, I'm on the nozzle.
Pump her up.
All righty.
Give her the goose, Bruce.
Now we're following it
deeper, deeper.
Watching the umbilical
disappear into the abyss.
Must be way up in that hole.
Not seeing
a whole lot of color just yet.
Where is it at?
Show me the pretty
little things. Oh.
Nothing, uh,
too impressive yet.
Just gonna take
another bite here.
And it's on the pick-up,
I'm gonna move.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
Just some big rocks.
Oh, here it's picking up.
Back in business.
A piece there,
a piece there, a piece there.
There's some nice coarse
gold in this area, though.
Now that's the gravel
to the sand,
it's easy to hit that sand
and gold starts pouring up
the hose.
Couple of hundred pieces
in this little area.
Man, sounds wonderful.
Get this gold
out of this hole,
move onto the next.
Looking
pretty damn good.
Gold is pouring up the hose
like a fine wine.
As Nome's kingpin
takes a shot a deep ground...
...three miles east...
Yeah, we're on Wall Street
today, baby.
It's gonna be good.
...a young gangster's
pulling the trigger
on a plan to grow
his golden portfolio.
We're gonna change our
operation name to Gold Man
Stacks Corporation.
Hundred ounce gold,
closer and closer.
I'm gonna get suited up.
So we basically hit
a virgin channel
and it's loaded with gold.
All right,
I'm gonna fire this up.
We nicknamed
this spot "Wall Street"
because it's a cobbled wall
and a channel right in between
where the hot gold is.
I'm about to make
a big withdrawal.
Call me
the "Wolf of Wall Street."
It's gonna be
a good day today.
If Wall Street
is as hot as I think,
I'm gonna send
another diver after me.
I don't know what
Shawn's numbers are,
but if we keep doing this
the way we're doing it now,
I think Shawn don't stand
a chance on us.
You wanna throw away
any shake when you see it
down there.
But if it ain't looking
like Wall Street,
you're in the wrong spot.
Heck yeah, have fun.
Go ahead and hike her up, bro.
Sounds good.
And? Did you find Wall Street?
Oh, yeah.
It's coming in, bud.
Everybody tried
to get four hours
working on the nozzle.
Wilson could be out here
to relieve him.
Looks like we're gonna end...
End this season strong.
With the end
of winter closing in,
every miner must earn
their seat at the table.
And on the frozen battleground...
All right.
Here we are yet once again.
See these guys are falling out
the box over there.
Getting all
the equipment running,
time is of the essence.
...Nome's Salty Don
looks to get his operation
back on track
by any means necessary.
Not good enough flow.
Just give me a little bit
of flow through here.
This season's been rough,
not gonna lie.
We went up for 200 ounces,
we'll be lucky
if we get 20 at this rate.
So I'm unleashing
a three-prong planter
to ramp up production.
We got this, uh,
triple sluice set up.
It's designed for fine
gold recovery,
refining out.
We're blowing past
all that microscopic stuff.
The very fine gold,
the flour gold, we call it.
She's ripped and ready to go.
First we're breaking out
Larry's triple sluice spots.
We can't lose
even a flake of gold
at this point.
Hopefully, this triple sluice
will mean nothing escapes.
Yeah, right there,
that's good like that.
That would actually be
about the flow
that I would think
would be optimal
for catching fine gold.
Next up, we have a plan
to save time moving forward.
We're gonna get this
set up now.
Brand new piece
of 60 foot hose.
This is gonna be exactly
what we need.
Every time we move
the operation,
it's a time k*ller.
So Larry and Scott are working
on an extension that'll make
the hose almost 60 feet.
That way we can keep
following the pay streak
further without moving.
Got a 40 now,
we can go 20-foot further.
This will be almost
plug and play.
And finally,
while those two are at it,
I'm bringing in another diver
to expand the tape.
I guess, uh, you know,
it's your turn.
This new guy, Leonard,
he could be
a real heavyweight.
Leonard is a red suit diver
by trade,
he's built like a Mack truck.
He could be
an alligator wrestler.
I'm gonna go under,
I'm excited.
Never been, uh,
diving under the ice.
I've done a little bit
of cold weather environment
but, uh, nothing
with five feet ice.
But being the strongest guy
I know won't necessarily
help under the ice.
Gotta be ready for anything.
You can get in real trouble
in the blink of an eye.
But let me know
when you get your bearing,
and we'll give you
a full RPM on the pump.
Are you seeing anything?
Okay, we're gonna rev it up.
All right, you know what
to do with the valve and...
Okay, now you have full rev.
Yeah, let's move
a lot of material.
He's not shy about it.
He's breathing.
In a controlled fashion,
he's not panic breathing.
He's doing a hell of a job.
All right, all right.
Good job, good job.
That's what it's all about,
plug it up.
He's putting it through
the box.
We're making gold,
which is better
than that paper stuff.
Someone hit me.
As the Don
muscles his way
back into the game...
...across the ice...
I love problems
in the morning.
There's something definitely
going wrong.
With no gold
this season,
Kris Kelly may soon be
sleeping with the fishes.
The crawler is stuck
underneath the water,
it won't back up.
I even have to
dive down there
and check everything
out for myself,
so I don't break anything.
So the crawler
was supposed to be
the answer to our dreams.
But it's becoming a nightmare.
The good news is
we finally got it in the water
on the seafloor,
moving material.
The bad news is
it can't go backwards.
So it's just stuck
on the bottom right now.
I gotta get this moving.
I gotta get some gold
and hopefully salvage
my season.
Okay, I'm gonna jump
down there and see
what's going on.
Yeah, my brother's
gearing up right now.
He's gonna get down,
check on everything.
He's gonna tell us
what we need to do.
Okay.
Oh, me.
Everything good?
No, I'm good.
Hot water's in.
It's shallow today.
Okay, let's go to work.
And this rock is blocking
the back of my tire.
Yeah, I figured
that was gonna be
what it was.
Yeah, big rock.
It looks really wedged
in there, so...
There we go.
Okay.
Everything good?
That sucks.
We're gonna get
rock jams still.
You want a hand on up?
Yeah, okay.
I'm coming right now.
Thank you, Mike.
So there was
a huge rock lodged
behind the track.
Hopefully that was
the only reason the collar
wasn't moving backwards.
In other messed up news,
we installed a rock guard
on the nozzle and the little
b*stard broke off.
That means we'll be
more prone to rock jams.
But you know what,
if this beast actually starts
working right,
I'm not gonna worry
about it at this point.
Okay.
I'd be happy if you'd hurry
the up, I can start
playing with the joysticks.
I already moved away the rocks
that were just gonna cause us
a problem.
Okay, get the
out of the way.
Come on,
let's see some movement.
Put it in reverse.
Pull, pull, pull.
All right, keep coming.
Oh, yeah. That's
nice, baby.
Hard turn right.
Who is controlling
this thing right now?
Shut up, I'm fine.
I wanna see more
than a six inch pull.
Let's see a foot, two feet.
Get the
out of my way.
Don't!
All right, yield.
Yeah, that's the
right there. Jam it.
Yeah, baby.
It's like a video game.
Looking better
but it's stuck in cool down.
We're gonna run it
until we get a rock jam.
But this is a fast , baby.
We just gotta dial it in
a little better.
The end of winter
is fast approaching.
See, it's a nice color.
Easy. Easy, cheesy.
And Nome's top boss
is hoping time is his ally...
We always followed
the gold a bit closer.
Now we're following it out
deeper, deeper.
...as he collects
on the deepest ground
of the season.
Gobble, gobble.
All right, well,
watch your dive tank
down there.
You're getting pretty close
to your sink time.
I'll be all right.
You're all right until
your air compressor
up or your line freezes.
Then we're all .
Yeah. You know,
I suppose you're right.
It's just nice seeing gold.
Makes all this
hard work worthwhile.
Yeah, there's some big rocks
over this place.
Gonna check this hole
before I come up.
All right, well make sure
you don't push your time
too far.
Oh, yeah.
Hell, yeah. Here we go.
Another piece. Another piece.
Easy, brother.
Come on, baby.
Looking pretty damn good!
Gotta couple minutes
and then it's done.
Definitely some good,
good looking color
coming around this big rock.
Piece of gold, piece of gold,
piece of gold, gold.
You're getting pretty close.
Lot of nice
chunky pieces of gold in here.
Looking good, man.
We're gonna make some money!
All right.
Much left out here, Joe.
Coming up. I'm coming up.
Ten-four.
Beauty,
thing of beauty.
That's what
we have to do to stay on top.
We pushed it.
Really pushed it.
We went deep over 40 feet.
And at that depth,
we didn't have much time
to pull it off.
Well, we did.
The gold looked awesome.
Hopefully, the scale agrees
and we keep McCully at bay.
Yeah!
Here it is, Ron!
Best gold of the season.
We're gonna clean the box up.
See what the hell
it looks like.
But Nome's kingpin
isn't the only one
with a hot hand.
Young gangster,
Chris McCully
is also seeing earnings
sky rocket.
Thanks to a gold filled
channel he's dubbed,
"Wall Street."
Heck, yeah!
This is the best day
of the year.
We're on gold.
We're actually
being productive.
Yeah!
Hey, Chris.
Wilson's on his way.
I can hear him gripping.
You're right
about four hours now.
Wilson, this is it.
Gonna start
right where you left off.
Right on.
It's gonna be a great day.
Wallstreet is really paying off.
Matter of fact,
this really might be the best
pay streak I've ever worked.
Nobody in the fleet,
not even Shawn
is gonna be on goal like this.
This stuff right here
is looking really good.
All pay. All pay.
Great dive.
I was down to go
throughout the whole thing.
It didn't slow down one bit.
Yeah,
Wilson's gonna k*ll it again.
Have fun!
I'm gonna send
Wilson down there
and keep sucking up that gold.
I'm gonna head back to town
and start prepping
for the way out.
It's gonna
be freaking massive.
All right. I'm out of here.
We're on Wallstreet today, baby.
Today was a great day.
Almost like a fairytale.
Clearly it's gold coming
out of the wall.
Five miles east...
All right.
First time
ice dredger, 'He-Man,'
Leonard Lovins...
...is three hours
into muscling up gold.
Leonard's doing great
down there.
His first dive.
Larry and Scott are getting
that 60 foot hose.
Rigged up, so that
we can install it tonight.
Have it ready
to go tomorrow morning.
We got everything
humming right now.
Leonard seems like
he's a natural.
He's k*lling it down there.
The boys are getting
the 60 foot hose ready.
The triple sluice box
is catching all the fine gold
we were missing.
Things are so impressive,
we're attracting onlookers.
Yeah?
Jeff Orzechowski
from Emily's team is here.
Maybe he can learn a thing
or two from watching us.
What's that, fill?
I think the light went out.
Okay.
We'll attend you.
He's coming up.
He's coming up.
Okay.
We're ready for you.
Uh...
Hey, Leonard, I see a line
there by that ladder.
What is--
that line is not safe.
It does not need
to be down there
by that ladder.
We'll talk about it
when you get up.
He's all wrapped up.
Too much
hanging around down there.
If he was out of air,
he'd be dead right now.
We can't understand you.
Are you coming up?
Leonard,
we can't understand you
up here.
Pull the ladder up?
Get him up! Get him up!
Come up the ladder, Leonard.
Come up the ladder.
We can't hold you though.
I can't hold you.
I got you. I got you.
Pull the ladder out.
It's off the ladder now.
Are you okay?
This thing
hanging off the side.
He couldn't find it.
He couldn't undo it.
What we were doing was
pulling everything
with the ladder.
Pull all him up.
Then, he got stuck on the jet
with the back
on his weight belt.
I knew something
was tangled up.
Ripped a hole in your wetsuit.
I don't care--
That was scary
as hell.
On his way up,
Leonard got snagged on a line.
The problem is
the line was caught
on the ladder
and ripped his mask
clean off.
Get him up!
That had to be truly
terrifying for Leonard.
And to make matters worse,
he was hung up
on the weight belt too.
Just terrible management
of equipment down there.
Okay, guys.
There's a number of safety
violations involved in this.
Uh, number one,
lose ropes, lose anything
hanging down under the water
is what you gonna
get tangled up.
We don't want
any lose anything
hanging around between
the hole and the diver.
I'm not gonna have to be
Mr. Nice Guy anymore.
This god damn rope
is coming down.
You did good
for not panicking.
You had air the entire time.
But I tell you what,
it was getting kind of scary
because these comms are not
coming through crystal clear.
Fortunately, nobody got hurt.
I was watching what
you were doing down there.
Nice controlled breathing.
Thanks for a great day.
Thank you, Leonard.
Thanks.
It was pretty unnerving.
You're underneath
five feet thick of ice.
Who knows what could happen?
There's... you know,
air can go out,
your heat can go out,
your lights can go out.
It's a dangerous thing.
I'm just glad
to be on the surface.
I can say that.
It was a close call.
Gotta strictly adhere
to the rules of safety.
Otherwise, you might find
your a*s dead
on the bottom
of the Bering sea.
This thing is beautiful.
Now that
his crawler's working.
Will Kris Kelly become
the most dangerous hitman
in Nome?
Come on.
Keep coming.
Yep. Good. Good. Good.
You got that right, buddy.
Oh,
There's a big rock.
Okay. Nozzle up a little bit.
Hold on. Hold on.
Let me check suction.
Yeah, we gotta fix that.
I got a rock jam.
Yeah, we knew
it was gonna happen,
it was only inevitable.
That sucks!
There's nothing more
I can do down here.
I'm coming up.
I said I'd be happy
if the crawler was working
without the rock guard.
I need that rock crawler.
Without it,
it'll just be jam central.
But I will say watching
that beast down there
working for the first time,
it's damn impressive.
- You like this thing?
- Oh, this is like video game.
Look at this!
Well that's why I made it
for simple people
to have enjoyment.
Uh, my cluster ring broke off.
This little connection is what
it was handling all the force
of everything.
And that's not beefy enough.
We need industrial size.
No big deal.
Lots of little things
to dial in.
of everything works.
We dial in 10 percent
and then
it should work like a dream.
We'll fix what needs
to be fixed on the crawler
and get back to a 100 percent.
It's not huge stuff,
but, man, it's getting late
in the season.
Everyday we're messing
with this crap.
it's just another day
of not getting gold.
- I'm taking first shift. Driving.
- First shift what?
You're not driving
my toy.
I will lock the door
with you outside.
Shut the up.
- You're not driving my toy.
- It's my toy.
It's mine for the summer,
This is my toy.
Shut up .
I built this toy for me.
I don't care.
- Well,
I'm glad you like it.
- I do.
Cause bigger brother
needs a bigger toy.
You know?
You don't need .
And now,
another episode ofSocial Hour
with Vernon.
Take a little break today.
You gotta have a c*ck
every now and then.
See what's happening out there
in the wide, wide world
of social media.
"What's your death row meal
look like?"
I'd like some catfish filet.
And hush puppies.
Catfish filets, hush puppies,
red beans and rice,
a bowl of gumbo.
I'd go down happy.
And I used to live
in New Orleans.
in New Orleans.
It is what it is.
This has been
another episode ofSocial Hour
with Vernon.
Look at this gold.
Yes.
- That's super fine that is.
- Yeah.
- Microscopic,
super fine stuff.
- That's weight.
After a harrowing
experience for diver
Leonard Lovins,
Vernon Adkison is hoping
the rookie
still managed to be a strong
earner to the family.
I'll be glad
they didn't drop that down
the ladder.
I mean you're kind of hard
to be pulling up
on that damn ladder.
It's easier enough
when you're underwater.
But when they pulling you
out of the hole...
The dive was cut short
due to unforeseen circumstances.
But Leonard did a good job
while he was down there.
Hopefully, we'll get
a nice surprise on the scale.
Then I'll know
we have a solid team
pulling for gold
moving forward.
All right.
- Gold some gold here.
- Yes.
Nice.
- All right. We got one...
- One better.
Two...
It's only two.
Going for three.
Three...
Not bad.
is worth about $7,500 dollars.
Not a badanza.
But enough to keep
a ray of hope alive.
That's nice stuff.
Something about gold.
A lot of this is finer gold.
That means the triple sluice
is paying dividends.
It's a decent haul
for the first time out.
So Leonard
maybe the real deal.
It's not setting the world
on fire
but we might have
the right ingredients
to make a strong showing
for the rest of the season.
I mean, overall that's good
weight for that haul.
So, we'll take it.
We'll put it in the pot.
What can I say?
Yippee Ki-Yay.
Tag it and bag it.
The Dons got just
enough to stay in the game.
But who will take the lead
between the kingpin
and the young gangster?
What have
we got here?
Yeah.
Looks really good
in the box.
Nice, big fat cleanup.
That's what we're looking for.
Gold we got here
is from Joe's dive
and my deep dive.
Pastry got hotter
the deeper we got.
But now I'm gonna see
if it was really worth it.
Right on, right on, right on.
Five...
Ten...
- Money!
- Oh, man!
a weighty $30,000 dollars.
The dive may have been deep.
But now Shawn's pockets
are even deeper.
That is not bad
for one little hole.
Yeah.
It's pretty good.
Loving it.
Feels so good
to take a risk like this
and see it pay off.
Good job.
I hear McCully's
on hot gold.
But is he having clean
ounce this good?
I doubt it.
So if we can keep it rolling
the rest of the winter,
I know we'll be on top.
- Another pay check.
- Mm-hmm.
k*lling it!
Across town...
Yeah!
The returns are in
from Wallstreet.
Well, let's see that first,
sweep of the day.
See how it looks like, huh?
And it's looking
like a bull market
for gangster Chris McCully.
It's called Wallstreet
for a reason.
As good as this winter's
been going,
I've never seen ground
like this before.
I knew it was hot
while I was on it
and it clearly stayed hot
for Wilson like that too.
It's looking good.
Let's start drying
this thing out.
I have no idea
what Shawn is doing.
But if this weighs out
near to where I was thinking,
we're gonna be tough
to beat.
All right. Let's do this.
- You guys, ready?
- Ready.
So I measure
my gold in grams.
I don't measure them
in ounces.
So bear with me.
Here we go.
four, five...
six, seven...
eight, nine...
Oh, we just tipped the scale.
We just tipped the scale.
Hang on. Hang on.
Eighty-one...
Wow.
is worth a whopping
$64,000 dollars.
Easily the biggest weigh out
by any team this winter.
And after Wallstreet,
Chris McCully maybe
the golden gangster of Nome.
I'm at 91 ounces
for this season.
Bro, we are nine ounces away
from our 100 ounce gold.
This is a monster haul.
it's huge.
And there's no way anybody's
gonna beat us this season.
So, Shawn and everybody,
they better watch out.
Because we're gonna ride
the wall street
all winter long.
Tomorrow, we go out there,
cut a new hole,
unload everything
and then we get back
on the grind.
We're still on gold.
Going out tonight.
Yeah.
As g*ns blaze
toward the final days
of winter,
Chris McCully is a made man.
sh**ting past Kingpin,
Shawn Pomrenke.
Next time on Bering Sea Gold.
Thought this was gonna
turn out to be a good spot
but no gold.
We can't slow down.
We're almost to our gold.
That is not good.
We're getting
more gold per hour
than we ever have.
And we're not breaking a sweat
doing it.
All right.
you!
