03x03 - Abandon Ship

Post by bunniefuu »

[ominous beat plays]

[narrator] Previously on
"The Last Woodsmen"--

[Jared] Whoa.

Jared builds vital inroads
to get a second operation

off the ground.

[Jared]
Anytime you ask a machine
to do more than it's

capable of doing, that's when
bad things happen out here.

You got it, buddy.

- While at the forever claim...
- Come on!

[Rob] Thread the [bleep]
needle, baby.

...it's a mad dash to load
the first log barge

of the fall.

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

But even after
their best payday yet...

- [man, on radio]
- [Jared] Woo!

...the race to raise money
for the forever claim is

falling behind.

[Jared] We're not gonna get this
done by log barges alone.

We need to come up
with some kind of idea

to get that extra cash.

- [dramatic chord strike]
- [wood creaking]

[music plays]

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

A little more.

[Jared]
How are you feeling, Adrian?

Gonna get seasick on us?

It's quite possible.
I'm a [bleep] land animal.

I don't like
any of these swells.

[chuckling]

With six weeks left
in the logging season,

Cypress Creek owner
Jared Douglas,

along with mechanic Adrian
and foreman Ross,

hit the storm-battered seas
of Kachelot Inlet

for a potential
opportunity to bring in

some quick cash.

Can of ether and a hammer,
and you're good to go?

Absolutely.
Two sticks and a rock, bud.

The operation is spread across
two logging sites



The forever claim,

which carries
a $100,000 per barge royalty,

and the short-term,
royalty-free lease

at Kachelot Creek.

But with the full buyout
of the forever claim

almost a million dollars short,
Jared needs to scramble

for extra profits
any way he can.

[Jared] I have a lead
on a tugboat that I can buy

for pennies on the dollar.

If this tug's salvageable
and I can flip it,

it's gonna be
a major payday for me.

It's definitely a gamble,
but we'll see

what it looks like
when we get there.

One man's trash is
another man's treasure.

That's right, yeah.

But today's mission right now
is just go assess it,

take a look, see if we can
get it running,

and then get this thing
down the coast back to camp.

We don't have to go out in
the open water with it, do we?

Yeah, we totally have to go
out in the open water with it.

[Adrian] Oh, man,
why did I agree to this?

Unlike the protected inlets

where Jared's crew
usually work,

open water can bear the full
brunt of the Pacific Ocean,

including rogue waves,
gale-force winds,

and swells
more than 30 feet high.

[Ross]
It's an adventure, and it's
a gamble, but, uh, hell,

if you're not
an adventure gambler,

you're not gonna be a logger.

[Ross] Look at that baby.
That doesn't look that bad.

[Adrian] Looks can be
deceiving, Ross.

Diamond in the rough,
maybe, huh?

A bit of a sandblast?

We're gonna take this
out there?

[Jared] Yeah.

[Adrian] If we fire this b*tch
up right now and it runs,

let's go for it.

I'd run this baby
right down the coast.
Why not?

[Adrian]
Yeah, you're gonna run it right
down the coast there, Ross?

- [Adrian] You're gonna run it
down the coast?
- [bleep] great.

[chuckles] Uh...

These loggers are buttheads,
Jared and Ross, specifically.

I love them to death.

It takes a butthead to do
the logging side of things,

whereas I'm the one
who has to deal with

all the broken stuff
and the problems,

so I have to kind of think ahead
a little bit about stuff.

Because if you just turn
the key and go,

then you're gonna be
dead in the water.

And when you're dead
in the water with a boat,

it ends badly.

Mm-hmm.

OK, I'll give it
the check mark.

We can hit the button.

Let's see what
the hell happens.

- You ready?
- [Adrian] Yep.

[engine wheezing]

[rattling]

[Ross] Looks like
Jared's got a boat.

[laughing]

And Adrian's going for
a cruise down the coast.

- [Adrian] [bleep] dude.
- [Ross] What could go wrong?

[Adrian] [bleep] you.

[Jared] I believe that
I'm gonna be able to turn up to

$100,000 profit quite easily
by selling this tug.

My plan is to have Adrian
and Leon captain this boat

down through Float Camp.

But unfortunately, I need to
do something else.

My oldest son,
he's 12, turning 13.

I definitely wanna set him up
in the path to

take over the business.

I think every father
looks towards that.

So I'm gonna take him to
camp with me, and I hope that

he's got what it takes
to carry this torch.


Kachelot Creek...

[chanting]

[Matt] What a cool job site.

I don't think we've
ever taken a boat

into anywhere we're cutting.

[Kate] Yeah,
it's something different.

Jared takes another big swing
on two of the youngest

hand fallers he's had to date.



and her 35-year-old husband,
Matt Meckley.

A duo that, if they prove
themselves, could bring

a much-needed boost
to production.

[Matt] Hopefully find
a good tree today.

- [Kate] Yeah.
- [Matt] At least something big,

some good scaling,
some character.

[ominous tone plays]

[Matt] Remember, I'm the worst
one to follow in the woods.

[Kate] I should have learned
my lesson not to

follow you by now.

Sometimes I'm surprised
how I got here.

I grew up in a tiny town
in Western Ohio.

I work with my husband, Matt.

We actually just got married
a couple months ago,

but we entered into the timber
falling world together,

and we've been doing that
for about six years now.

Matt is very action-oriented.

A little bit of my time
to shine.

[Kate] I'm a little bit
more methodical.

We really balance
each other out.

Time is always the biggest
pressure we have on us.

We always want to stay
ahead of the equipment,

be able to have
enough wood on the ground.

We take pride in our work,
and people want to invest

in you when you are passionate
about what you do.

[Matt] Look at this hairy one.

[Kate] Man, this thing's big.

[Matt] Yeah, big wood
all the way up to the top.

Yeah, it's definitely
gonna be one we need

to really save out.

It'll have some
good money in her.

Oh, man, this one's leaning
back that way pretty hard

and towards the water.

[Matt] And that's
the no-go zone.

We can't lose this tree
in the water.

[Kate] No, that
would be all bad.

[Matt] It's gonna be
a tricky one.

We need it to go

that way, right up there.
- [Kate] Yeah.

We're going to have to
use some...

something to help
persuade it to go over.

I think this is a candidate
for the jack.

- [Kate] 100%, we need the jack.
- [Matt] Yeah.

If this 150-foot tree lands
in open water,

it could easily drift
off with the tide.

To keep it on dry land,
Matt and Kate will counter

its heavy lean with a 50-ton
jack, which will hopefully

exert enough force to send it
parallel to the shoreline.

All right, let's get it going.

Every single tree is different.

Some pose more problems
than others.

If the tree is back-leaning
super hard, you have to use

the tree jacks to get it over,
but that's part of what's fun

about it is just
figuring it out.

[sputtering]

[buzzing]

Basically what we're doing is
cutting out like a wedge of

material underneath
the back cut,

and that'll be room
for the jack to slide in there.

We really need to make sure
we have some solid wood

at the base so that it has nice,
firm pressure on the tree that

we can get enough lift out
of the jack to get it over.

How's it look?

[Matt] Looks like some
good wood in it.

Yeah, let's stick the jack in
and start

giving her some leverage.
- [Kate] Yeah.

So on the jack,
there's a gauge,

a pressure gauge,
and that's telling you

how much pressure
you're applying to that tree.

I like that.

Get her pumped up, huh?

[Kate]
You wanna make sure that
you have enough pressure on it

when you're starting your cuts.

Then also just keep an eye on
it through the whole operation.

If you see the pressure going
down or up, I can like pump it

up a little bit if I need to.

[Matt]
All right, I got her at six.

OK, here we go.

[buzzing]

I'll start the back cut out.

I'll get this the rest of
the way cut up, make sure

I have my hinge squared up
over here.

And then I'll go
on the other side.

And then that's when
it's really game time.

All right, let's get
this thing down.

Dug on in.

[buzzing]

[Kate] What do you have on it?


Almost maxing the jack out.

[Kate]
If the pressure is going down,
that means that the tree is

actually going over the way
you want it because you're

losing the pressure of the tree
that's sitting on the jack.

If the pressure starts going
way up, that means that thing

is sitting back hard.
That could be bad.

It could come down on us.

Oh, she's popping.

- Still way back there.
- [Matt] Yeah, she's
getting heavy.

[Kate] If it goes backwards,
it's gonna be a disaster.

It could go in the water
and just put us in a really bad,

sketchy situation to
get away from it, too.

[Matt] You son of a b*tch!

This tree does not want to go
where we want it to go.

On the shores of
Kachelot Creek...

[Kate, speaking]

It's leaning backwards exactly
where we don't want it to go.

So I need to get my saw back
in there in the back cut

and cut as much as I can.

[suspenseful music plays]

I'm gonna leave it
at that for now.

All that's left at this point
is to just keep lifting

that jack and just hope that it
doesn't max out and we can get

this thing over
before that point.

Back down to 6,000.
[panting]

[Kate] The pressure's
going down?

- [Matt] Yeah.
- [Kate] OK, perfect.

Yeah, we're getting some
good lift out of her.

[popping and cracking]

[Kate] Oh, gosh, that's popping.

[suspenseful chord strike]

[Matt] Yeah.

[cracking]

[Kate] It's going.

- [popping]
- [creaking]

[thud]

- Right in the hole.
- [Kate] Dang.

- [Kate] Nice one.
- [Matt] Nice one.

Yeah, first one, I started
jacking on it and had it up

to like 9,000.
It was still

there.

It was leaning so hard.

[Kate] First one, it's down.

Some good money in it,

and I think Jared's gonna be
happy with this one.

[Matt] Good work.

Oh, thanks.

[buzzing]

What do you think, bud?
You ready to

check out what
dad does for work?

Yeah.

And there's camp.

Home away from home.

At Kachelot Camp,

Jared and his 12-year-old son
Hayden arrive for

an action-packed day
on the job.

[Jared] What's your favorite
part about camp?

- The food.
- Food?

[Jared] I have the job
to raise two boys.

I want to raise two sons that
can take over this business.

Hayden, my oldest son,
he seems to be

the most engaged.

I'm always out here.

Are you sure you want
that lifestyle?

- I don't know.
- I don't know.

[Jared]
But a few more blinks
and he's going to be a grown man

and either he's gonna be
out here running machines

or he's gonna find his own path.

You tie the boat up for me?

[Hayden] Sure.

[Jared]
Obviously, first choice is
take over the family business.

So, show him what we're up to.
Hopefully he sticks around.

Breakfast is at 5 AM.

You sure you can get up
that early?

[Hayden] Yep.

[Jared] And your room is
the second one to the end.

I think I'll take the one
at the back.

What?
My room?

- The executive suite?
- Yep.

I don't think so.

You got to put in a little more
years here before you get

that one, buddy.
This is you.

There's a lot of hard work
out here, and there's

a washout up
by the road crew.

A couple culverts were washed
down the mountain.

OK, buddy, let's head out.

It's very important for me
to teach my kids to perform

under pressure, and today is
a great example for that.

OK, fire it up.

So, you remember what to do?
It's been a couple years.

- This one's up?
- [Jared] Yeah, that's up.

- This one's in?
- [Jared] You betcha.

Let's try it.

It's like a big video game,
but you can actually make money

doing it.
- [Hayden] Yep.

[Jared] Hayden is a man
of few words.

He's more like his mother
in that sense than me.

He is very, very capable
with mechanizing and wrenching,

but he doesn't talk
too much about it.

He's a perfect logger.

See, it's just like
riding a bike.

OK, I'm gonna get out.

I'm gonna have the radio on,
and you're on your own.

[Hayden] Yep.

These are the culverts
we got to load on

the off-highway low-bed.

He's got to kind of set them up
in a pyramid shape here.

OK, got it.

[Jared] Nice and smooth.
Nice and smooth.

- [clattering]
- [Hayden] Ah, [bleep].

[Jared] Dude.

- A little bit.
- That's OK.

That one was pretty crappy.

Sometimes you just got to learn
the hard way.

School of hard knocks out here.

Yeah.

[vocalizing]

Back up the coast...

[Adrian] This is her.

[Leon] Wow.

...Adrian and boom boat
operator Leon return to

collect a tugboat that,
once flipped,

could be worth up to
$100 grand in profit.

He's been in the weather
for a while.

I'll have to check her out.

[Adrian] Yeah,
have a sniff around.

I think I'm gonna start
getting the fuel going.

Right on.

[Adrian]
Today, me and Leon are gonna
try and pilot this thing

through the open water
and back to camp.

We have a few hurdles
to jump through.

We've got to get fuel in this
thing and check everything over

in the engine room.
But there is a storm coming in.

And so there is a time crunch
because, you know,

Mother Nature is pretty brutal
around here.

And we got to boogie
and get this thing going

so we can get out of here.

To ride the storm back to
salvage, Leon and Adrian must

navigate 10 miles of open seas,
followed by five miles of

rocky inlets.

But first, Leon must deem
the vessel seaworthy.

Doesn't look like any holes,
so it's a good sign.

I've ran tug for off-and-on
over 20, 25 years.

Definitely need a new seat.

But looking around,
it seems solid.

Some TLC, should be
a really good-looking boat.

I'm not really a boat guy,
but they're gonna need

a mechanic to aid this thing
back home.

And it's up to me to be
on-board checking vitals.

I don't like boats at all.

I don't like that they rock
and bounce around.

I get seasick easy.

I don't like the cramped,
confined spaces that most of

the engines are in,
especially when you're over

a dark abyss that can
swallow you whole

and k*ll you in 10, 15 minutes

if you're not so lucky.
I'm not a fan of that at all.

So how did it look down there?

I'm just looking for fuel
leaking out of anything,

because we just pumped
all that in here.

But it all checks out,
so we got to get going.

[Leon] OK.

[Adrian]
You don't want to cut too many
corners before you head out,

but we have a weather break
that is closing fast,

and we got to hustle.

- Ready to go?
- [Leon] Ready to go.

- [engine wheezes]
- Oh.

There we go.

- [Leon] We all good?
- [Adrian] Yeah.

[Leon] All right,
see what happens here.

Don't wanna go back too far.

- [revving]
- Whoa.

Ha, ha.

So far, everything seems to be
running all right.

Knock on wood.

All right, here we go.

Oh, yeah, she's leaning right
out at the water.

[Kate] Of course.

[Matt] I'm gonna be
wedging my a*s off.

- Let's take her home.
- [Matt] She's popping.

On the open waters of
the Pacific Northwest...

[Leon] Well, it looks like
the forecast weather,

kind of came quicker.

Looks like it's gonna start
building here.

[Adrian] Yeah, that's not ideal.
But as long as we

beat the storm,

we're doing good.

I'm glad you've got the gall
for this, Leon.

This is the last tugboat I will
step foot on, I promise.

[Leon] Ah, we got this.

They say on tugboats,
it's sheer boredom

or sheer terror.

When things happen,
it happens fast,

and usually it's not
in calm water.

[sputtering]

[bleep], hear that?
The engine's surging.

That's the [bleep]
fuel filter, [bleep].

The engine's dropping RPMs.

I think

we're not really getting
the clean fuel from the tank.

If we stall and suck
all the fuel out,

then we're pretty
[bleep] vulnerable.

And we got a ways to go.

I think we're gonna have to
stop and I'm gonna have to

do that before it dies.
- [Leon] Yeah, before
it's too bad?

This is just gonna be fast
and [bleep] dirty.

Oh, god.

This is pretty much
the worst-case scenario

in the open ocean.
Losing your power means

losing everything,
your steering.

You're now completely floating

in Mother Nature's ocean
at her mercy.

That's a scary situation
to be in.

[bleep] this.

My God, this was a bad idea.

Back at Kachelot Camp...

Now grab that big bugger,
put it on, let's get this done.

...Jared's 12-year-old son,
Hayden, kicks off

his crash course in logging
by loading culverts

vital to road work
happening up the hill.

[Jared] I'm just trying to
get him to learn

how to build a pyramid here.
We're gonna stack

three on the bottom,
two in the middle,

and one on top.

Just putting it down
in the middle here.

[Jared] All right,
grab the next one.

We are a group of brothers that
are out here trying to keep

our livelihoods alive.

And we need that to be a legacy
and we need to pass

that legacy down
to make this industry cool,

to make people want to get in,
to make dads want their sons

and to be proud of their sons

to buy a piece
of logging equipment,

to go out logging.

I want my son to be the same.

Playstation.

You got that right.

- [Jared] Pull that that way.
- [Hayden] [indistinct].

[Jared] All right, time to go.

Jump in the truck,
buddy, and let's get

out of here.
- [Hayden] Yep, got it.

Ready for this?

[three honks]

Back by the water...

[Matt] Nice day out.

[Kate] Oh, yeah.

...new fallers Kate and Matt
search for the next

timber giant to earn
their stripes on Jared's crew.

[Kate] Oh, this looks like
a nice spot to open it up.

[Matt] Yeah.

Oh, look.
I don't think I've ever
seen that many forks

in the top of a tree.

It kind of looks like
a trident, huh?

- [Kate] Yeah, a little bit.
- [Matt chuckles]

- Devil's pit.
- [Kate] No.

[bleep] yeah.

I'm from originally the south
side of Chicago, city kid.

Around 2018, I started
cutting logs and moved out west.

That was it.
Caught the itch

and then just been
chasing the biggest trees

and the gnarliest work I can.

This ground is soft, so this is
gonna be fun to try to cut

on this side.

It's actually, if you look
at it from this angle,

it's leaning pretty hard
towards the water.

[Matt] It's gonna be
a thread-the-needle mission.

I've been a thrill seeker
my whole life.

So a little bit ago,
we did wildland fire

and that's essentially
you're helping

mitigate hazard trees
for firefighters

and making areas safe
for them to work.

Just helping conquer
dangerous trees that are

threatening their mission.

[Kate] In the past, I've worked
on fire-weakened timber

and stuff like that
and that, especially, you know,

I'm working with trees that are
all burned out underneath.

It's just, I think it's really
empowering when you are learning

all these new skill sets that
are so outside of

your comfort zone.

On, like, big, burnt,
nasty trees.

Oh, yeah, she's leaning
right out at the water.

[Kate] Of course.

[Matt] This one wants to go
right into that bigger one.

I think that middle one is
pretty tied up in there and...

So we might have to push
the front ones over.

[Matt] Push them all over.

Kind of cool to lay them out
all at one time.

Cut this, set those two up.

Take the trident and [whistles]
put them all together.

- It'll definitely...
- [Matt] Take some oomph.

Yeah, take a little oomph,
for sure.

Like the water hazard tree,
this 140-foot trident faces

similar danger.

But it's also tangled with
a smaller tree.

So to bring both down on
the shore, Matt will clear

a landing zone 90 degrees
from the trident's lean.

Then, aim his face cuts
in the same direction

and hope wedges
will provide enough force

to send them down
where he wants.

[Matt] I'm gonna be
wedging my a*s off.

[Kate] You can use
a jack if you want.

[bleep] no, I don't think
it'll go early.

[Kate] I don't think it's quite
bad enough for the jack,

but it's definitely gonna be
a wedger, though.

[Matt] Start cutting.

[sputtering]

[buzzing]

[creaking]

[Kate] Come on.
Oh, no.

Hell yeah.

All right.
Let's get this big one down.

- [Kate] Grand finale!
- [Matt] Grand finale!

[buzzing]

[creaking]

[whacking]

- A little more.
- [Kate] It's lifting.

- It's lifting.
- OK.

- [Matt] I think that'll be good.
- [Kate] OK.

Get your saw out of here.

Yeah, it started getting tight
like a piano wire there.

All right.
Let's take her home.

[popping]

She's popping.

On the banks of
Kachelot Creek...

[Kate] Oh, yeah.
She's lifting.

[popping]

- [Matt] It's that popping sound.
- [Kate] Oh, yeah.

- [Kate] You got it.
- [Matt] All right.

Turn up.

[cracking]

- Wow.
- Hell, yeah.

Look at how much that held
on that side.

[Kate] I know.
Look at that hinge.

[Matt] It was definitely hard
out to the water.

[Kate] Wanted to go
that way for sure.

- [Matt] Yeah.
- [Kate] That laid out nice.

- It laid out super good.
- Good job.

Thanks.
Right in the hole, too.

I think Jared, he's really
gonna like this one.

It's got some good scale in it,
some good volume,

and hopefully he likes
the product that we were able

to provide for him, and we keep
going with the crew.

Nice and neat, packed like
a cigarette box.

Beauty.

I mean, that is kind of
an impressive shot.

I have to toot my own horn.

- [chuckles]
- [Matt] Toot toot.

[Leon] Halfway through our trip
on the open ocean,

and we're having
engine problems.

Hopefully, Adrian can get her
up and going again.


Adrian and Leon's salvage is

dead in the water as
a coastal storm blows in.

[Adrian] [bleep] why are you
sucking air like that?

[bleep].
[bleep] off.

There's lots of water
in there?

[Adrian] Yeah.
This was a stupid idea.

You know, it's a Hail Mary.

Fill the fuel filters and see
if you can just get it to run

for another ten minutes.

Is that any better, Adrian?

[Adrian]
Um, it's gonna have to do.

OK, flash 'er.
All right.

[Leon] Come on, baby.

- Well, good save, buddy.
- I don't know yet.

We're not out of the woods,
but at least we're traveling.

I wish we were
in the [bleep] woods.

[Leon] You can tell it's
starting to get rougher, so...

It's, uh...

gonna get a little ugly here
for a bit.

[tense music plays]

Got a big one.

Ready?
Here we go.

Oh, [bleep].

Not a happy boat.

Ah, [bleep].

Ah, come on, steering.

[bleep], so [bleep] close.

We just have to get around
that one gap.

- OK.
- And then that's going

into the inside.

[Adrian] Come on, baby.
Just [bleep] pull through.

Pull through.

Come on.
I can see the point.

We just got to get there.

Come on, baby.
[bleep] please.

Please get us there.

- Come on.
- [Adrian] Please!

Just get us to
that [bleep] point.


weather of Kachelot Creek...

- Looking good back there?
- Yep.

Jared shows his oldest son,
Hayden, another key part of

the logging lifestyle,
backwoods hauling.

- [Jared] Need a lot
of horsepower.
- [Hayden] Yeah.

Sounds like a plane,

holds like a train,

faster than
a grizzly bear on cocaine.

He rips.

I don't want to scare my son
off of logging, and I want

Hayden to learn it's valuable.

When you get that paycheck,

it really seems like
it's worth it.

What do you think
about logging?

You want to be a logger?

[Hayden] I don't know
if I'd want to do that.

- No?
- [Hayden] Maybe.

What's your favorite part?
Running machines?

- [Hayden] Yeah.
- [Jared] What about
driving a truck?

- [Jared] You ever
want to try that?
- Seems fun.

Everybody kind of just

gravitates to what
they like to do.

I like to do everything,
so that's why I wanted to

be the boss.

This is that bad hill.

Just got to crawl up it.

Nice and gently.

Uh-oh.

Try one more time.

Here we go.

[screeches]

- Today is not our day, son.
- [Hayden] No, it is not.

[creaking]

On the roads of
Kachelot Creek...

[Jared] Oh, man.

You on here, Critter?

[Critter, on radio]

Yeah, we're trying to get
these culverts up the hill,

and we're hung up.
This is too loose.

Can you go get a push truck
and bring it up?

[Critter, on radio]

[Jared]
This is not going as smoothly
as I would have liked it to.

It takes a little grit
sometimes out here

to get things done.

And getting through those
roadblocks are what's gonna

determine if you're successful
in this business or not.

We don't have enough weight
on the back, so it just

started spinning.
The culverts don't weigh a lot.

It's not a big machine
on the back.

This day is taking forever.

I think my son doesn't want to
be a logger anymore.

[suspenseful music plays]

What are we doing out here?

[Jared] All right.

- [Critter] OK, Jared, you ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.

OK, here we go.
Give you a little bump.

[Jared] There we go.

We're almost there, we only
got to go one more mile.

You think you can get
the cargo there?

[chuckles]

I'll try

- Just like that.
- Like nothing.

Like butter.

OK, buddy.

It is time to
unload the culverts.

Watching my son out there
really makes me proud.

Starting to feel that
he gets it.

Like, logging is a lifestyle.

It's not just a job,
like logging is so much more.

And who else is gonna
carry this torch?

Who else is gonna
get into this game?

OK, buddy, we're done.
Ready to be a logger now?

Definitely.

My saying is logging only
happens between issues.

We definitely had
lots of those.

[Jared] We had lots of those.

Well, we got the pipes here.
That's all that matters.

Hayden wants to be
part of this business.

He's starting to get that
hard work can definitely

get you ahead in life,
and it's a great day.

All right, buddy.
Let's head back to camp.

There's some steaks waiting
for us and cold beer

and off to bed.
No beer for you, though.

- A root beer for you.
- All right.

Back on the water...

[Adrian] Come on, baby.

[bleep] please,
please get us there.

[Leon] We're almost.
See the point?

- Right there.
- [Adrian] I do see it.

[Leon] Hey, we got
through the worst.

- [Adrian, speaking]
- [Leon] Yeah.

[Adrian] Oh, dude.

That is nature just kicking us
in the ba*ls.

[Leon] Oh, yeah.

Why do you never try to beat
Mother Nature?

- Because she always wins.
- [Adrian] Always wins.

[Leon] You don't always
want challenges,

but today Mother Nature
threw us one.

It's such a relief
to get through it.

[Adrian] That was the scariest
thing I've been a part of.

[Leon] Well, we made it here.

[Adrian] I can't believe
we made it here.

Thank [bleep].
Thank God we made it here.

[Leon] I'm thankful I had you.

I love you, bro.
That was awesome.

That was not awesome.

That was not awesome,
but I'm glad

we made it through,
holy [bleep].

[Leon] Every day is
a [bleep] adventure.

[Adrian] Is it ever.

After repair costs,

this tug will bring Jared
more than $90,000

in pure profit.

[Jared] A little bit of love,
a little lipstick on a pig.

Quickly flip it,
make some extra money

to buy out the forever claim.

Next time...

[Jared] I got a barge coming
in two days.

[man] I need a totem pole tree.

Think you could make
that happen?

[bleep].

This totem pole could be a delay
in production and money.

[Rob] I'm going to will you
to the ground.

[Jared] But it is necessary.
We have to do it.

- [Garrett] [bleep].
- [thud]

[Jared] But I still need
$200,000 profit on that barge.

[Alicia] My truck is
holding up production.

I can feel the clock ticking.

[Jared] It is a race
to pad the bank account.

So it's very important that
my new fallers perform

under pressure.

[Kate] Oh, god.
[bleep].

- [Matt] Son of a b*tch.
- That did not hang on.
