[Parker] Nine years ago,
I came to the Yukon.
This is just the beginning.
You know, I mean, that pan,
we're gonna be throwing
thousands of those
through our plant every day.
The Klondike brings all
sorts of crazy people together.
I've seen a lot show up
trying to make their fortune.
A lot of people
have come and gone...
but we're still here.
But gold miners are in
for a shock this year.
You know, you're paying more
for just about everything.
Inflation hit a 30-year high
last month.
[Parker] The world's
all screwed up.
Fuel prices are crazy.
Spare parts are hard to find.
And crazy high gold prices
are gone.
One thing about these issues is
it's gonna burn some people up.
Tony Beets is struggling
with Red Tape.
Fred, he's in the middle
of nowhere.
Lack of experience
is going to hurt him.
Rick Ness, rumor has it,
he's not even coming back.
We have to hammer down
like never before.
This season is going
to be our toughest season yet.
[Paul] On the all-new season
of Gold Rush.
[Tony speaking]
It's do or die this season.
And right now,
we are trying to survive.
[Tony speaking]
We're hitting it
with everything we got.
That's what
we've been waiting for.
You're washing rocks.
Parker has asked me to
come from Australia to help him
with his new Alaskan operation.
If you need to stop
really fast, use this one.
[man] This is like
the best pan I've ever had.
Hey, miracles happen, right?
Not in my world.
What the [bleep] is going on
with the Hulk?
[metal clanging]
Oh, [bleep]!
Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Stop, stop, stop.
Get out of my face and leave.
A lot of sacrifices go
into making this happen.
This is hard.
He's right at mine site.
Let him [bleep] work.
[Tony speaking]
Looks like Fairbanks
is [bleep] day one.
[bleep] me.
[man 1] One, two, three...
[woman 1] Nine, ten.
[man 2] Eleven, twelve,
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
[woman 2] Eighty, one hundred.
One-ten, one-twenty.
[woman 2] Two-forty,
two-fifty, two-sixty.
- 448.95.
- [bleep] yeah.
Fifty thousand ounces of gold.
- Whoo!
- Fifty down. Fifty to go.
[wind howling]
Snow is very deep.
It's the most snow since
I started lining up here,
you know what, nine years ago.
[Paul] Parker Schnabel came
to the Klondike
at just 18 years old.
Since then, he's pulled over 45,000
ounces of gold out of the ground,
today worth $86 million.
Now, at the ripe old age
of 27, he's planning his exit.
[Parker] It's looking like
this season's going to be
massively different
than the last few.
We're in a brave new world.
[Paul] The Klondike Parker
knew years ago is changing.
All the best ground is
taken, and restrictions are increasing.
[Parker] With the state
of permitting right now,
you know, everybody's businesses
are at serious risk.
[Paul] To keep
his gold mining dreams alive,
Parker's expanding,
opening a new claim in Alaska.
[Parker] We are going
to Alaska,
and we are setting up
a new operation over there.
The biggest challenge this year
is gonna be figuring out
how to manage two mine sites
in different countries.
There's a lot of money
at risk.
It's really difficult surviving
those kind of expansions.
[Paul] But first, he's staging
a Klondike blitz.
[Parker] Getting things going here at
Scribner is now the main focus.
We've got a lot to do.
You know, when you start
adding up all the projects,
it sounds like
a hell of a lot.
[Paul] To add
even more pressure,
Parker's losing
his main water license
on his gold-rich airstrip
claim at the end of the year.
[Parker]
There's no wiggle room.
You know, normally
with mining, it's like,
"Oh, what you don't get done,
you just can do
the next season."
On this ground, this season,
there is no next season.
Any gold that
we leave in the ground
is probably staying there.
So we need to get it all done.
[Paul] With fuel prices
rising to record highs
and the supply chain that
feeds his operations in tatters,
there's no margin for error.
But that's not stopping
the young mine boss.
[Parker] The big thing for me is
that I really like to push ourselves
and find more gold each year,
like last year was a huge season.
But I think we might be able
to have a 10,000-ounce season.
Oh, but it looks like
they're getting some stripping done.
I'm guessing that's Tyson.
How's it goin'?
Pretty good. You, man?
Oh, not bad.
- You guys have been busy.
- Yeah.
Camp's sorted.
And now out we're moving dirt.
Looks like it.
[Paul] Plant boss Tyson Lee is
getting a jump on stripping the airstrip,
a chunk of ground that has brought in
over $9 million worth of gold so far.
[Parker] Okay. So you guys
are just gonna plug away here,
so you might just leave it,
like leave the snow
from where that line
is forward,
just leave it undisturbed
and just carry this stuff up,
corner it out
up that way, you know?
Don't want the ramp turning
into [bleep] halfway through.
[Parker] No. And
that's what's going to happen.
So the line with Tony must be
right in here somewhere, huh?
Yeah, it's pretty close.
[Paul] Parker leases all the claims
at the airstrip except for two.
Those are owned
by Klondike kingpin
and long-time frenemy
Tony Beets.
[Parker] Okay. Where is he?
Tony?
I believe at the Hill.
He hasn't got anything
out here?
No, I haven't seen him.
- Obviously, it doesn't look like--
- Brought a couple of trucks
out the other day,
but other than that--
Wait, so he's moving equipment
out of Indian River Camp?
Yeah.
That doesn't make any sense.
[Tyson] Not much
does with him.
Like we've done better and
better the further downstream we've gone.
The license is going to expire
with the gold in the ground.
I'll go talk to him.
I'm just gonna go sit down
with Tony
and see what his plan is
because if he's not gonna
mine it,
then I'll probably ask him
if we can.
You know, Tony and I have always
had a bit of a rocky relationship.
But then, like, would we be where
we are if Tony hadn't given us,
you know, a chance
in the beginning
when we first showed up
in the Yukon?
Probably not.
Truth is he's helped us
out a lot.
That's worth something,
I guess.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Tony had been mining
for 30 years...
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] ...when he gave
the 18-year-old a shot...
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] ...when no one else
would.
[Tony] 140.65.
[Paul] And it paid off
for both of them.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] But as the stakes
got higher, egos collided.
[Tony speaking]
Just show up in the spring
and shutting us down?
[Tony speaking]
Tony won't talk today.
Have a judge
tell me that, Tony.
[Paul] cl*max
in an expl*sive battle
over mining the airstrip
that Tony owns...
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] ...that Parker
holds the water license on.
Give me one good reason not
to tell you to go [bleep] yourself.
Well, the last few years,
I don't know, it's been weird.
[Paul] Now Parker
finds himself once again
trying to broker a deal
with the king of the Klondike
over this long-disputed piece
of land.
- [Parker] Tony.
- [Tony speaking]
- Hi.
- [Tony speaking]
[Parker] How are you?
- [Tony speaking]
- Good. How are you?
- [Tony speaking]
- Good to see you.
[Tony speaking]
- It was good.
- [Tony speaking]
- I got COVID.
- [Tony speaking]
Have you heard from Rick Ness?
[Tony speaking]
- [Parker] How was your winter?
- [Tony speaking]
You've got...
you've still got a lot of years left in you, Tony.
[Tony speaking]
Are you gonna, like, get old
and grumpy or are you gonna get--
[Tony speaking]
No, Minnie will k*ll you.
[Tony speaking]
I know Minnie well enough to know
that you would not get away with that.
[Tony speaking]
- Not great.
- [Tony speaking]
I mean, it's...
Yeah, it's... you know,
well, everything that's good is either
tied up or been mined, right?
- [Tony speaking]
- [Parker] Right.
And the scary thing is now
they're starting to get it.
[Tony speaking]
We have a lot going on.
That's part of the reason
I wanted to talk to you.
Right now, we're stripping up
to your line...
Mm-hmm.
...and you've still got a couple of
claims on the bottom end of that.
But I don't see...
you haven't been out there
at all.
[Tony speaking]
[Parker] So are you open
to us mining it?
[Tony speaking]
Okay.
[Tony speaking]
And then do you think
for those two claims
we could have them just
a flat royalty
at 15% rather than applying
to like that sliding royalty scale?
[Tony speaking]
- [Parker] Right.
- [Tony speaking]
[Parker] Okay.
We'll do our best
to get that done.
I can't promise
we'll get it all, but...
[Tony speaking]
[Parker] ...we're going
to sure as hell try.
All right. Well, that sounds
like a deal to you.
[Tony speaking]
I better go get to work.
[Tony speaking]
Thanks, Tony.
[Tony speaking]
[Parker] That's the result
we were looking for.
But I think we kind of just
doubled our workload for the season here.
[Paul] Before he even
steps foot in Alaska
and despite already
being stretched thin,
Parker's just
secured more ground
than he's ever mined
in one season.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Forty years ago,
Tony left the Netherlands seeking
his fortune in the Klondike.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Over three decades,
he's built a gold mining
empire from nothing.
Last season, he invested
millions on monster machines
to continue expanding
on the Indian River.
But those plans were trashed
when he couldn't secure
a permit.
[Tony speaking]
I know.
[Paul] Now, to hang on
to what he's built,
he faces the battle
of a lifetime.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Hemmed in
by regulations,
Tony's only option
for gold is Paradise Hill
and he needs to be digging paydirt
in two weeks to hit his target.
But there's a problem.
His path to the claim
is blocked
by the deepest snow on record.
[Mike] I hate snow right now
'cause every time you remove
the snow, it snows again.
[bleep] [bleep].
There's so much of the [bleep]
this year
that we had a [bleep] problem
finding places to put it.
[Paul] Tony's put
youngest son, Mike,
in charge of the startup crew
and clearing snow and ice from
the only access road to the site.
There's very few people
my dad can trust
to do this job
because someone else,
if it starts to slide,
they'll panic
and they'll do
something stupid
that they're not supposed to,
and they can get themselves
seriously injured.
If I get k*lled
on the mine site,
who's my mommy
and daddy gonna sue?
My mommy and daddy?
That's why I can get away
with a lot more [bleep].
[man] Mike, you copy? Mike.
Yeah.
[man] I got stuck
in a snowbank with the loader.
[man] Can you come
and have a look at it?
Loader operator got
a little too vigorous
and went a little too far,
found a hole.
[Paul] To haul
the 38-ton loader out...
It's sitting right on ice.
You can't do jack [bleep].
[Paul] ...Mike brings
in the 18-ton D6 dozer.
Let's go.
You ready to go backwards?
You're in there good.
You're on ice.
So you got about
as much traction as a [bleep]
trying to climb a hill.
Gonna need something
a little bit heavier.
The ground in front of us
is frozen, so it's no traction.
And we need to get something with
a little bit more weight than the D6,
so I'm thinking of the grader
'cause the grader
will have nice traction,
but it'll also have quite a
decent amount of weight on it.
But I don't know
if it'll have enough either.
[Paul] Mike ups the ante
with a 28-ton 275 horsepower grader.
[Tony] Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Tony's plan, weigh down
a 31-ton rock truck
with heavy overburden
to create
a 67-ton monster.
[Tony speaking]
[Parker] Thanks
for being here.
Big job ahead of us.
Yeah, there's a lot of work.
[Paul] After striking a deal
with Tony Beets,
Parker Schnabel now needs to
mine more ground than ever before,
and he has to do it before
the end of the season.
[Parker] This spring is gonna
be what sets us up for,
you know, if we can get it
done by the fall or not.
So let's just give it our best
and let's see
if we can get her done.
[Paul] To take
on Tony's ground,
Parker's mobilizing
his entire operation
to strip the extra 45 acres
and wants to be pulling
in gold in just a week.
[Parker] Let's make it happen.
[Paul] Parker leads from the
front in his 73-ton D10 dozer.
[Parker] Let's mine
some [bleep] gold.
Best way to figure out how to
manage a bunch of different projects at once
is probably
just go start doing it.
With my grandpa back
in the '40s and '50s,
he managed a whole bunch of
different logging camps all over Alaska
and how they didn't have
Internet or sat phones or anything.
So I don't know how he did it.
[Paul] Parker already has 45 acres
of ground to mine at the airstrip.
By adding Tony's 45,
he's now up to 90 acres,
50% more than
he mined last year.
If he can get through it all,
he could beat last season's
$15 million total.
[Parker] Keep going ahead and swing
her in tight to the bank.
Straddle that bank.
[Paul] Across the claim,
Tyson Lee is digging ditches
and building berms
in the 480 excavator
in the pre-stripped ground
nearest to the Indian River.
[Tyson] This year,
we had a record snowfall.
So we're having a lot of
melting snow coming into our cut.
We've got to get this ditch in
and armor up the riverbank
before the Indian River is
flooding into us like none other.
I've seen people lose
entire cuts
because they don't have
good drainage.
[metal clanging]
Oh, [bleep].
The [bleep] is going on?
Hey, Jordan,
you got a copy, Jordan?
Yeah, man, looks like one of the pins
in the truck on the 480 snapped on me.
It's the last thing
we need right now.
[Paul] A broken pin has
stopped Tyson's ditching in its tracks.
[Parker] You know, these pins,
they hold each segment together.
It's like a zipper.
One of the links in the zipper
broke, and now I can't use it.
[Paul] The 58-ton excavator's 35-foot
track is made up of links
held together
by 52 coupling pins.
One has snapped,
causing the track to slip off
its rollers...
and the tensioning idler
to drop out of position.
To fix, the idler must be put
back into its housing,
the track pulled on to
the frame, and the pin replaced.
Just got to pull
the track up over
so we can just put it
all back together right here.
That's a broken pin there.
That's a broken one.
[Paul] Before they can secure
the track back onto the frame,
mechanic Jordan Sands needs
to guide the tensioning idler
back into its housing.
- [Jordan] Hey, Tyson.
- Tyson!
[Jordan] Man, can you
just push on the idler.
We're just going to crack
the adjuster.
You can just ease into it
with the blades
- instead of trying to push on it with the bucket.
- [Tyson] Okay.
[Paul] Tyson must maneuver
the 19-foot dozer blade
with pinpoint accuracy.
He's going to push
the idler in for us.
So it's back
in its little slot.
Jordon's in there with a bar
trying to hold it up,
and he just needs me to push
on the idler very gently
while he's trying
to line it up.
And I can't see anything.
So I'm solely relying
on Jordan right now.
Very delicate process.
You know, a D10 would push
this whole over sideways.
Hang on.
Back off a little bit.
[Jordan]
Grab your right clutch
and just steer over
like this far.
Bit more.
In the hole, boy.
[Paul] For the final part
of the fix,
Jordan must get
the replacement pin
through the holes
in the track.
Let's go.
Go on.
Hooked up.
She tightened up with grease.
Good to dig dirt, make money.
[Paul] Tyson and the 480
are back in the game
digging ditches before the melt
delivers any flooding into the cut.
It's like it's all back
together working...
working as it should,
so that's why we have the best
mechanics in the Klondike.
[Fred] We're taking
a huge gamble.
There is no safety net.
It's a lot more real
for us this season.
We've put everything
we have into this.
We're not relying
on outside sources.
This is all us.
[Paul] Military veteran
Fred Lewis
is gearing up
for another battle.
In the midst
of a precarious economy,
Fred's refinanced his home
in the hope of him
and his crew striking it rich.
[Fred] I started this all
to help veterans,
and that's still
my long-term goal.
I'm doing this
for my band of brothers.
[Paul] Tapped out
of cash,
there's no way back for Fred
if he doesn't find gold this year.
So I've set a goal for this
season of 500 ounces.
It sounds like a big jump
from our last season total of 110,
but that's what we need.
[Paul] After just six ounces
in his first season,
Fred hit his stride
in his second.
Not only did we do it,
we beat it.
I can't believe it.
[Paul] Banking 110 ounces
and breaking even.
Whoa.
But costly disasters.
[Fred] This one's done
for the season.
[Paul] ...left him needing
more cash to start the season.
Now I've got my claws sunk
so deep into this,
I think, at this point,
I would take just
about any risk
if I thought
it was feasible to overcome.
So we're going for it.
[Paul] Fred's claim lies 46
miles west of Dawson City,
deep in the wilderness.
To get there, he must cross
the mighty Yukon River.
[Fred] This is the first look
I've gotten at the river this season.
I expect it to be way less
than this.
Right now, we're looking
at several...
I mean, maybe even over a week
for this to be broken.
And then they've got to get
all the big ice cleared from upstream,
has to pass down.
This is bad.
[Paul] For four months
of winter,
an ice road over the river
has connected Dawson
with a highway
to Fred's claim.
But as the snow and ice melt,
it's too dangerous to cross.
With precious little time
to get on the gold,
Fred's forced to wait
for the ice to break up
and the ferry
to start running.
We have this 200-meter stretch
of river we can't cross.
So right now,
can't do anything,
can't go to our claim,
can't get anything set up
until Mother Nature
let's go of winter.
It's a horrible start.
I mean, this is just a mess.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Two days
ahead of schedule,
Tony's crew have cleared
the snow
and they're ready to start
mining for gold.
But first...
[woman] Hi!
[Paul] ...Tony gathers three
generations of the Beets family.
[Minnie] Look who's here.
Look, Catherine.
- Look who's here.
Is that Grandpa? - [Tony speaking]
Like we never left, Tony.
- [Tony speaking] - Some
things got a little bigger.
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] So what's the plan
this year?
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] I thought
we had that lined up.
[Tony speaking]
How deep are you going?
[Tony speaking]
- That's deep.
- [Tony speaking]
[Paul] Tony's Paradise Hill
claim
contains the Klondike's
legendary White Channel Pastry.
To hunt it down, he's going
to dig deeper than ever before.
First, he'll start by opening
the cold cut,
a sprawling 9-acre site where he
hopes to find paydirt at 130 feet.
100 yards away, he'll chase the pay
streak as it rises to 30 feet
by opening the blue cut.
With fuel costs rising,
it'll cost millions just
to get down, to pay.
What we have planned here,
we'll have lots of ground
to pull from.
- [Tony speaking]
- Yeah.
- [Tony speaking]
- Whether they have the gold
in the ground though,
that's a different story.
Clearly, that's where
the gold is.
Gotcha.
[Tony speaking]
Mm-hmm.
[Tony speaking]
Who says that?
No one says that.
[Tony speaking]
Oh, Lord.
Yeah, you better get
a lot of gold mined
because otherwise we
cannot afford auction sales.
[Tony speaking]
- We'll see you guys later.
- [Tony speaking]
Everyone from Dayton to Eric,
y'all are rock truck drivers.
Lisa and James, you two
are gonna be on the 750s.
Ruby, you're gonna be
on the 950.
Mike, you're gonna be
my co-dozer.
My dozer's blocking the road.
We're gonna treat it like a
hull breach in a ship in space.
I'm gonna go first
and everyone on the outside
is going to slowly come in
with me.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Tony wants to hit
pay in just a week.
So he's sending Mike and
a fleet of ten rock trucks,
three excavators, and two
giant dozers to the cold cut.
Follow me!
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] We're literally throwing everything we
have at this cut right now.
Everyone knows what they're doing.
Everyone's going.
Just go, go, go, go, go
and be like clockwork.
I mean, we seem to have a
pretty good crew so far this year,
hopefully it'll be good.
We're all just trying to work
together in this chaos.
This year, we have
so many new excavators,
so many new trucks,
so much other equipment,
so much more than we used to.
My dad says
he's going to let me
and Kevin take charge,
which will be good
'cause he's also not always
running around
like a chicken
with its head cut off.
I feel we can expand
even further, do more.
He likes to micromanage.
I don't blame him.
He didn't become this
successful from relying on others,
so it makes it very hard
for him to do that.
[Ruby] I think Mike's going
to do a great job.
He's been doing it already
since he was he was young.
And as long as he can keep
that balance between operating
and also making sure
that everything is running efficiently
and everybody's doing
their job properly,
I don't see it going wrong.
[Tony speaking]
[Fred] This is a big
frickin' deal,
and I have never seen
anything like this.
[Paul] Three days after
he arrived in Dawson City,
Fred gathers with the town.
[man] It's going.
[Paul] Miners have monitored
the spring breakup
of the frozen Yukon River
since the 1896 Gold Rush.
The exact time is recorded
by a wire
connecting a tripod
on the ice to the shore.
When the ice moves,
the wire snaps,
signaling the start
of the mining season.
[man] It's going, it's going!
Watch you.
Yeah, yeah.
You guys watch out.
Oh, yeah.
Back, back, back.
Come over here.
Come over here. Slide a little more.
Wire snaps.
[man] Oh!
- [alarm blares]
- Listen.
It is official.
A lot of work ahead,
but this is the first step
to getting us
across the river, so...
- [boy] Oh, no, no.
- ...it's go time.
You can see the massive
amounts of ice coming down here.
It's gonna be a while.
It's probably the best news
we could possibly get.
This is the catalyst for
the beginning of our season.
But now that it's broken, we
don't have any time to mess.
So at this point, it's all
hands on deck, ready to roll.
It's go time.
We have a lot of ground
to get through,
a lot of rocks
we have to wash.
And right now, we have
no wash plant running.
[Paul] On the airstrip,
Parker Schnabel's plant boss
Tyson Lee
races to dig ditches before the mother
of all snow melts causes a flood.
Not a day and not a dime.
[Paul] Rock truck driver Tatiana Costa
hauls dirt to build the berms.
There's so much ground to
go through this year, it's insane.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!
Holy [bleep].
What's that? Holy [bleep].
Tyson.
Tyson, you got a copy, Tyson?
[Tyson] Go ahead, tater tot.
[Tatiana] Got to come here
right now.
The cut is flooding.
It's like Niagara Falls just burst into the cut.
Come here right now.
[bleep].
Okay, I'm on my way.
[Paul] Snowmelt
is filling the ditch
and threatening
to flood the cut.
If it does, Acres of gold rich
ground could be underwater,
delaying mining for weeks.
[Tyson] We have practically
Niagara Falls.
And this is because
of a record snowfall year,
and it's starting to warm up.
So we have to deal
with this now.
The only thing I can think of
is we have a six-inch pump,
so I'm going to radio Alec.
[Paul] The 74 horsepower pump
has been on the bank
all winter
in bitter temperatures
dropping below minus 50.
Tyson and mechanic Alec Kelly work fast to
fire it up before the melt floods the cut.
You'd say closer to the
river's more thawed than further away?
- Looks like it.
- Yeah.
- All clear?
- Oh, yeah.
Come on, baby.
Oh, yeah!
Oh, my [bleep].
You said you had faith in it.
It's gonna wash away the berms and
the pump's gonna be in the drain.
[bleep].
We could move your truck
and get the whole thing
and get that staged up
at least.
If we hook up to the teeth
on the front...
- Yeah.
- ...real tight.
You can kind of like
roll the bucket
and it'll pull the pipe
straight with it.
Oh, yeah. I just really
don't want to break that pipe.
Come down a little bit.
Try curling the bucket up.
[Paul] Tyson uses
the two-ton excavator bucket...
Down just a little bit.
[Paul] ...to separate
the connection
without damaging
the pipe or the pump.
Hold it right there.
That'll do.
These bower fittings work
on different angles,
but as you can tell, little
impurities can cause it to leak.
[Paul] By smoothing
the bower fitting,
Alec creates a better seal.
Shall we see if that wants
to seal for us?
I'll give her a try.
Hey, move your a*s.
Go on.
[Paul] Flood water
continues to fill the ditch.
If they can't get the pump
up and running,
the melt could soon
shut down the cut.
Okay.
Up just a little bit.
Use just your stick
to bring it in right there.
Lift her up and swing away.
See what happens this time.
Oh!
Whoo-hoo!
[Paul] Problem solved.
The pump's flowing.
[Paul] Tyson can get back
to digging.
We have the whole valley of
water coming down to this one spot,
keeps coming and coming, and I'm
trying to get this drainage in place.
[Paul] In the mountains
above Keno...
[water splashing]
Oh, I love these mud puddles.
[Paul] ...Fred Lewis
is on a mission.
Now the river has broken,
he's called in mechanic, JB Mayer...
Holy [bleep]!
[laughs]
[Paul] ...to investigate a vital
piece of equipment for the season.
[Fred] I have a couple
of leads on a dozer.
[JB Mayer] Oh, really?
This dozer is probably
the most important thing
we could acquire right now.
That is the biggest
missing part
to our, to our season
this year.
If we can't get a dozer,
obviously we're not mining gold this year.
[Paul] They're heading to Duncan Creek
to meet with mine owner Troy Taylor,
who's got a dozer for sale.
- He is Rick Ness's claim owner.
- Oh, okay.
So he's got experience
in gold mining quite a bit.
I would think, you know,
if he sold us some junk
and... and then, you know,
we get it up there
and, you know,
it breaks down and it's...
- We know where he lives.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I mean...
- [Fred laughs]
You see this thing?
- How's it going?
- Good. How are you?
- Nice to meet you.
- You found me.
Yeah.
Holy cow!
This thing's big.
[Paul] The Komatsu D355
weighs 53 tons.
[Troy] It's a beast.
It's done a lot of work for us
over the years.
[Paul] The 14-foot blade is capable of shifting
almost 30 tons of dirt in one push.
[Troy] At 410 horsepower, I
think that's what it's rated at.
[Fred] That's like a D9--
[Troy] Yeah, that's right.
Something like that.
[Fred] What year
did you say it was?
[Troy] 1984.
It's got a leak
in the final drive,
so I can show you that
and how to deal with that.
Well, we want to...
can we get, can we hear a starting up and hear it roar?
[Troy] Sure.
Are you ready for that?
[Fred] Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
- Oh, wow.
Okay. Here we go.
[engine choking]
Uh-oh.
Sounds like the battery
is a bit weak.
Yeah.
It's not a good start, eh?
I've got some jumper cables
in my truck.
That's good.
Don't wanna
blow anything up here.
Okay. You're ready?
[engine starting]
Come on, baby.
Come on. Come on.
- [Fred] Come on, baby.
- [Troy] Come on.
[Fred] Woo-hoo-hoo!
- [Troy] It's alive.
- It's alive.
She's purring
like a kitten now.
This is what we wanted
to hear.
Yeah.
Keep your hand
on the ledge and...
You know,
that thing's so tall.
I mean, that's a massive amount
of snow and dirt right there.
[Paul]
JB has 20 years' experience
working on heavy equipment
in the Army.
So I looked over here,
I don't see anything
new coming out hydraulic wise.
Everything looks good
and solid.
I did see on this side there's
one roller that is, kind of, wobbling.
[Fred] Okay.
[JB Mayer] But you see that
one's smaller, and there's a gap there.
[Fred] Is it missing a seal
or something?
[Jab Mayer] No, it's just
starting to go out.
The rollers,
the rollers go out.
[Fred] It's a big fix
or is it an easy fix?
No, easy fix.
- Man, I don't know.
- What are your thoughts?
This is, you know, to me, this
is a big deal for our season.
I think we need to seal it.
I think we need to say yes.
All right.
So I guess the only other thing we have to ask is price.
What do you...
What are you thinking?
What we think it's worth
is 45,000, and so, um...
Okay. You mind if JB and I go
and have a little talk?
- [Troy] Sure.
- Just talk it over?
- Yeah.
- [Fred] Okay, cool. We'll be back in a minute.
- [JB Mayer] Cool.
- All right.
What are you thinking?
Man, I tell you, I think
you're getting a deal of a lifetime.
I do, too.
Um, I hate to... I hate
to nickel and dime,
but if we could get
that down to 40,
it opens up extra money for us and...
and it would pay for the shipping.
You're the budget guy.
So, I mean, you know what
I mean, but I'm just telling you,
from my opinion, I think
it's worth, you know,
you know, every penny of it,
you know?
So what do you think?
- We definitely want it.
- Yeah.
Um, I want to ask
one question.
I don't want to offend you.
Um, with our budget
being super tight right now,
is there any chance
you could go down to 40?
Uh... Well.
How about this,
before you answer?
Because I can tell you
don't like it.
What if I offer you
at the end of our season
from what we pull?
Hmm.
[Fred] Because that would save
our budget now
and at the end of the season,
we'll give you that plus some.
Yeah. Okay.
If I take 40
and 1% gold bonus, yeah?
Yeah.
I think we could do something like that, it sounds good.
- Yeah.
- Awesome. Let's do it.
And our target right now
is 500 ounces,
so it should be enough to more
than cover that five grand
and it really helps us out
in a bind.
So I really appreciate it.
We got a dozer.
It's awesome, man.
I'm super happy with it.
- Ah! You have no idea.
- [Troy] Yeah.
[Fred] All right. Well,
we'll get out of your hair.
- All right.
Yeah. - I'm super excited. Thank you so much.
- All right, Troy.
- [indistinct chatter]
- Thanks.
- Take care.
We want to get this
cut down and done
well within the next week.
All this stuff is nice to work
right now that's frozen,
but the moment
it starts to thaw,
it makes it a lot harder
and more expensive to work it.
[Paul] The Beets family
led by son Mike,
are throwing everything
they've got
into stripping the cold cut
of 700,000 tons of dirt
in the hopes of hitting
Paradise Hill's infamous white channel pay
in less than a week.
[Mike] If we don't get this
cut done in the time allotted,
sucks to be us, we're just
going to have to work harder.
[man speaking]
[Kevin] [bleep] Thanks.
Go for Kevin.
[man speaking]
Copy. Take that truck
back to the yard, please.
Main yard. Main yard.
Ah! I'll be back.
[Paul] As they work through
the deep overburden,
Tony's oldest son and
chief mechanic, Kevin Beets,
is battling to keep the rock
trucks in working order.
[Kevin] Ah, [bleep].
There are several bolts
missing from this machine,
which are kind of important.
Not supposed to do that.
[Jess speaking]
Kevin, go for Kevin.
[Jess speaking]
[grunts] Might as well run to
the staging there as well then.
[man 2] Oh, [bleep]!
That's not good.
Ooh, that's a lot of smoke.
Hey, Kevin.
Copy, Kevin.
Go for Kevin.
Yeah, I just blew a rad
up here on the Cat.
[bleep].
Give me a minute, I'll hop in a truck.
I will be right there.
Change of plans.
Never [bleep] fails.
Okay. Let's have a look-see.
That's not good.
Looks like a hose busted.
[Paul] In a matter of hours,
a third of Tony's fleet of
rock trucks are out of action.
[Mike] What's going on
with this?
[Kevin] Uh, rad line's busted.
We need an O-ring piece,
which we don't have in stock.
So, uh, truck's down
for a bit.
How long you figure?
With the way shipping has
been, probably a couple of days.
[bleep]! That's no good.
I need as many trucks
as possible right now.
You're going to call Tony
to figure out a plan?
No.
There's a lot of trucks
at the Indian, right?
I believe so.
Only take me a day
to slip into the Indian
and go grab the truck,
so I'll go line that up
and you make sure stuff
don't break around here.
Yeah, sounds good.
[Paul] No longer needing
to check with Tony,
Mike decides to leave the cut
at a critical time
gambling he can get back
before any disaster strikes.
[Mike] Because the more trucks we
got, the more production we're getting.
[Paul] In the mountains
above Keno City...
Rally crew member
Nathan Thornington
maintains the equipment
as he waits for the arrival
of his boss, Rick Ness.
- How you doing, buddy?
- Hey. Hey.
- Yeah, it's been a couple of seasons.
- It's been a while, eh?
- Yeah.
- How are things going, anyways?
Going great with me.
It'd be nicer if I knew more
of what was going on myself.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, because I've just
been up here in the dark
a little bit for the
last week, ten days or something.
We're going to liquidate
some stuff here and, you know,
and thin the herd out,
I guess,
and hopefully, hopefully,
we'll be back out soon, right?
But as of, as of us mining
this season, I have no idea.
[bleep]
It's not very good.
'Cause we're already at least a
couple of weeks behind by now.
Yeah.
Last year was awesome and
you think, like, what happened?
[Rick] This'll sound
really good.
- No!
- Wow!
[Rick] Doesn't that look cool,
though? Look at that.
That represents victory
right there.
- [Nathan] Yeah.
- I don't know how to top it.
I mean, I will.
I'll top it next year.
I haven't been able to talk
to Rick much.
To be honest with you, I
have no idea what's going on.
Um...
Well, I hope
everything's all right.
- Like...
- Yeah.
All we can do is tighten up some
stuff around the yard here and hope and pray
that we... we're out here
mining soon, right?
[Mike] Now we're here.
We'll go see about getting that
rock truck out of the line.
Okay.
[Paul] Mike Beets is on the
hunt for a working rock truck
at the family's shuttered
Indian River camp.
And here's the rock truck
we came here to get.
[Paul] With three rock trucks
down at Paradise Hill,
Mike's hoping this one
will keep things moving.
[Mike] We don't want to slow
down the production there
even in the slightest.
So we're over here
grabbing a rock truck,
even though it's costing me
and Ruby not being there.
The hell!
[Ruby] All the fluids are good
and still in place.
So hopefully she starts.
Otherwise, it's a complete
waste of the day.
[engine chokes]
Oh, come on.
Oh, are you [bleep] kidding?
Come on, baby.
One more time.
Start out for me.
Yeah. There we go.
[Paul] To speed up
the stripping at Paradise Hill,
Mike grabs a spare D6 dozer.
[Mike] It's taking us
a bit longer than I thought.
We've already been out
and about to do this
about for four
and a half hours.
That's a lot of time
[bleep] go wrong.
Three to four minutes is all
it takes to [bleep] go to hell
when you're running trucks.
Ruby,
you're in the rock truck.
Evan will act as a pilot car.
I'm going to [bleep] off
ahead of you guys.
Let's get going
while we can still get going.
[Paul] Mike now faces a
40-mile drive back to Paradise Hill.
To avoid the road bends
on the highways,
Mike's taking local roads.
It's an icy, mud slicked route
back to the hill.
Lost all my momentum
on the [bleep].
Bob's old road is garbage.
Look at this.
[bleep]
It's [bleep] road's way
too [bleep] greasy.
I'm not going to be able
to get up at this rate.
[Paul] Up ahead, the
steepest part of the road...
a hill on a 25 degree incline.
[Mike] It's a dangerous game
trying to drive up that hill
when it's this muddy.
[Ruby speaking]
Oh, I mean...
I don't know about you,
but I've been slipping
and sliding across [bleep]
everywhere I've been going,
and I'm most definitely
not going to make that hill.
Oh, okay.
Do we have a game plan?
[Mike] I don't know.
I'll have a chat with my dad.
Tony Beets, do you copy,
Tony Beets?
We came out at the Indian to
replace the rock truck that was down,
but the road is so [bleep]
greasy right now,
I'm pretty sure I ain't going
to make that hill.
[Tony speaking on radio]
[Mike] Okay. I'll be waiting.
[Tony speaking]
We're hoping
to make this quick
and get that rock truck back
so we can get it to work.
But as is, I think it's going
to be pretty late
before the rock trucks
makes it back to camp.
[Tony speaking]
Okay.
[Paul] Tony's plan.
Unload the 18 ton D6
from Mike's low loader.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Without the weight of
the D6 and traveling at speed,
Tony reckons the low loader
should make it up the hill.
[Tony speaking]
- [Mike] Yeah, yeah.
- [Tony speaking]
[Mike] I know.
[Mike speaking on radio]
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] Okay.
Come on, you [bleep].
[bleep] damn [bleep].
I'm flying all over the place.
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] Give me a sec.
What the [bleep]!
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] [bleep] road
is so [bleep] slick.
[engine revving]
[Mike speaking]
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] Come on. Come on.
Oh, yeah.
There we go.
Yee-ha!
[Mike speaking]
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] The truck
and the D6 dozer
are finally headed
to the hill.
With dad's help,
Mike's back on track.
[Mike] So, I better hurry
to get this dozer
and that rock truck back to the
Hill so I can get them working.
It won't be long
till we start hauling pay.
- Hey there, youngster.
- What's happenin'?
[Paul] With more ground
to mine than ever before...
- [Parker] Good to be seen.
- How you doing?
[Paul] ...and plans to open up even
more in Alaska later in the year,
Parker calls a council of w*r
with trusted lieutenants,
foreman Mitch Blaschke and
gold recovery expert, Chris Doumitt.
It's good and bad.
It's good because
we have lots of ground.
It's bad because
we will have an additional,
whatever, two million square
feet to mine for Tony.
[Mitch] That's a lot
of sluicing on its own,
let alone anything else.
[Parker] Yeah.
There's a lot there.
There's... there's a lot to do.
I wouldn't be suggesting it if I
didn't think we could get it done.
So our leases will have
a pretty busy season.
A lot of landlords
to keep happy.
[Chris] Yeah. Not a lot of us.
It sounds like
too much stress.
I quit.
We know what the [bleep]
we're doing, don't we?
So here we are, in
the first cut of the season.
[Paul] Despite
the team's reservations,
Tyson has sprinted
out of the blocks.
He's protected the cut
from flooding
and is ready to run paydirt.
Hey, tater tot, that's the first
load of pay going to Big Red,
so we got a lot of rock
to wash this year
and a lot of mud to move.
So let's make her count.
Woo-hoo! Let madness begin.
[Paul] Now it's on Mitch
to get the plant fired up.
It's going to be
a crazy challenge to try
and get through
all this dirt this year.
And the only way we're going
to get it is if we do it right
and even doing
everything right,
I still don't know if we're
going to get through it all.
There's going to be so much
pressure on sluicing,
which means that these wash
plants have to run flawless.
[Paul] It's the earliest
Parker's ever tried to sluice.
Wash plant, Big Red, has been
lying in the cut all winter
with record snow
and temperatures dropping
below minus 50 degrees.
[Parker] You about
ready to fire up?
[Mitch] Yeah. Just got
to throw some water at it,
- hopefully, all that works.
- All right.
And then see if she remembers
how to shake.
[Parker] Ready. Give it.
[engine starting]
Come on. Wake up. Wake up.
Come on.
It's been a long winter.
It might take it a minute.
[engine starts]
Oh, yeah.
All right, now we've got
our water pump fired up.
We're just going to let it
warm up here,
but it's sending water
up the Big Red.
[Paul] Wash plant,
Big Red,
separates the gold
from the dirt
using only gravity and water.
Pay dirt is loaded
into the feeder
and blasted with 90,000
gallons of water per hour,
washing out the dirt and rocks
while the heavier gold
settles into the sluices.
Well, we'll start the shaker,
fire up the feed bin.
As long as all that's working
and happy,
we can start putting this dirt in
there and start turning it into gold.
You ready?
Here we go.
Come on, baby.
[Paul] For Parker, to hit
his target on the airstrip,
Big Red will need to sluice
24X7 for its longest season ever.
You know, for this wash plant
to sit up here
through a Yukon winter,
got it fired right back up
here and we're back to washing rocks.
If you look around here,
you know, we're the only ones,
as far as I can see, doing it.
So that just tells you
we're off to an early start
because everybody knows if you're going
to make any money up here,
this is the only way to do it.
Send it, man!
Let's go!
[Paul] With Tony,
at least a week from running,
Fred not even at his claim,
and Rick Ness nowhere to be found,
Parker is well ahead
of the game.
Here we go.
It's what it's about.
Not gonna lie,
it feels pretty good, man.
As long as that trommel
is not spinning,
all we're doing is spending
money and getting nothing.
I just want to get
the [bleep] job done.
[Paul] On Paradise Hill,
the Beets are desperate
to get on the gold.
Expert operator, Ruby Mahoney,
has been mining
for ten days straight,
reaching 70 feet down
in the cold cut.
Ah.
[Ruby on radio] Mike Beets,
you got a copy? Mike, Mike?
Yeah, go ahead, Ruby.
[Ruby on radio] Do you mind
coming over here for a minute?
Yeah, I'll be over there
in a second.
Oh, yeah.
I think we finally hit pay.
[Mike] Oh, that's good.
Took us long enough.
[Ruby] No kidding.
[Mike] That's definitely
pay right there.
- You can see it all over.
- [Ruby] That yellowy stuff.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
It has that nice sound
when we drop it, too.
Click, click, click, click of
the rocks. I love that sound.
[Ruby] Yep. Perfect.
[Mike] Which means,
we can start sluicing soon
and we'll have a massive cut
to work from.
[Paul] Ruby's hit the pay
layer shallower than expected.
The distinctive
iron stained yellow soil
contains rounded
riverbed rocks,
both good indicators that
the ground contains gold.
If it is quality pay dirt,
it could mean they've struck
a massive 60-foot deep
white channel pay layer.
Tony Beets, do you copy?
Tony Beets, do you copy?
[Tony speaking]
Hey, Dad. We struck pay.
[Tony speaking]
[Mike] Okay.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Tony's test will decide just
how profitable his season will be.
[Tony speaking]
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] On Paradise Hill,
the Beets have finally
hit pay,
but Tony won't risk running what
they've found through the wash plant
until he's sure
there's gold in it.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] Tony's banking on
the cold cut delivering big
if he's to hit
his 5,000-ounce target.
[Tony speaking]
[Paul] After hitting
pay early,
Tony could be on
for a bigger payout
than the king of the Klondike
expected.
[Tony speaking]
Good job.
- You ready for this?
- How you doing, man?
Oh, man.
Look at the river.
Still a lot of debris,
but she's rolling.
[Paul] Two weeks late
to start his season,
it's finally go time
for Fred and his crew.
[truck honking]
- [Fred] There he is.
- [JB Mayer] All right.
- You made it.
- Yeah.
[Paul] Fred and J.B.
are joined by Buzz Legault,
an experienced local miner
who enlisted with Fred
last season.
[Fred] Buzz is a loyal friend,
and he knows a hell of a lot
about mining.
Without buzz,
we're dead in the water.
Hey, we're pumped.
We're ready to go.
All right, let's do it.
I feel kind of jittery,
kind of excited.
I'm ready to get this moving.
You know, once we cross
that river,
that's pretty much
when our season begins.
[Paul] Get to his remote
California Creek claim,
Fred will have to cross
the Yukon River,
drive 46 miles on the top
of the world highway...
at an altitude of 3,000 feet,
then turn off road
down a treacherous
half-mile dirt track
to reach his base camp.
[Fred] I came out here,
kind of,
thinking that
there would be some snow,
but it's definitely
winter up here.
Oh, man.
I just look back
at one of these side roads
off of the main road here,
and I think we're going
to be snowed out.
[Fred] Oh, boy.
Look at all the snow.
Hey.
This snow here
is three to four feet deep.
Yeah, we're going to have to
do quite a bit of snow removal.
[Paul] The road to Fred's claim
is buried under thick snow and ice...
and with Fred's new dozer
still in Keno,
all they have to clear it
is Buzz's little dozer.
[Fred] Right now, we're kind
of in a time crunch.
I have my fuel guy come
up here to deliver fuel,
but he beat us up here
and right now he's been waiting
for probably several hours
on us to get out here.
So we really got to freaking
move right now.
[Paul] Fred's ordered half
a season's worth of fuel.
If the dozer can't open
the road for the fuel truck,
it will have to leave and
Fred will suffer yet another setback.
Hopefully, that fuel truck
is not going to leave.
So that's my biggest concern
right now.
Bringing that little dozer
out here was a gamble.
I honestly didn't know what it
was going to be able to do.
I hadn't anticipated
this much snow.
So have we not gambled
with that,
we'd be up [bleep] creek
right now.
This thing
is an absolute savior.
[dozer honking]
He's ready to go.
He doesn't have any more time.
So we're just going to have to get
[bleep] moving to get out of his way.
Ooh.
Oh, boy.
Fuel truck made it up.
So I think my truck is good to go.
I'm going to hop in and I'm going to go for it.
We got to get up there.
- [bleep] yeah, dude.
- [bleep] yeah.
Without the little dozer,
we couldn't have did it, man.
She's a beast,
that little guy.
- I love it.
- Let's get to [bleep] work.
[Paul] After two weeks,
Fred is finally ready
to start his season.
[Fred] I know
the gold's there,
but it's on me to get it
out of the ground and on the scales.
Let's go down there
and check it out.
What the [bleep] is that?
Holy crap!
[JB Mayer] I thought
we were mining a creek.
[Fred] Wow!
That's... Oh, my [bleep].
Wow!
Our entire claim is under ice.
That's a glacier, right there.
[Paul] Last year, Fred mined
the banks of California Creek.
Now the gold-rich pay dirt is
buried under a sheet of ice.
This blows my mind.
What the hell are we going
to do, man?
So this is where we separate
the men from the boys.
Right now, I feel like a little
boy and we need to think really hard
about how we're going to
tackle this before we tackle it
because someone could die
in this...
- Oh, for sure.
- ...easy.
[Tony speaking]
[babbling]
I haven't seen any gold yet.
We have been just stripping
and, like, between
the stripping and the wages,
it's an expensive month.
[Paul] Tony's hit pay dirt
earlier than expected,
which means he could have a
massive 60-foot layer of gold rich gravels.
- [Tony speaking]
- [Minnie] Hey, how are you?
[Tony speaking]
That's fine, eh?
That's the first gold
I've seen this year.
[Tony speaking]
How are Michael
and Kevin doing?
[Tony speaking]
But it's good for you that
you delegated to them though,
that...
and then, and that you kind of stay out of their way a little bit.
- [Tony speaking]
- It's good for them.
[Tony speaking]
It's nice to see
a little bit of gold,
but it would be nice to
actually start having real gold weighs again.
[Tony speaking]
[Minnie] I just got to go
to town, so...
[Tony speaking]
- Okay.
- [Tony speaking]
Yeah.
[Tony speaking]
[Minnie] Quit your whining.
[Paul] Tony's gamble to go for
the deep gravels is paying off
and he could bank even more
than his target of 5,000 ounces
if the white channel pay gets
richer the deeper they go.
[Tony speaking]
- [man 5] Hey.
- [Mitch] Yo. What's up?
- [man 5] You made it, huh?
- Oh, yeah.
- [man 5] How's it going?
- Not too bad.
[Paul] Back in the Gold Room,
Parker's crew are ready for
their earliest gold weigh ever.
[man 5]
And then there's Parker.
- All right.
- [man 5] Hey, youngster.
[Parker] Do you want
to come in?
[man 5] Oh, what's up,
Doze man?
We're going to have too much
ground this year?
I mean,
since when have we not, like,
taken on too much?
We basically, you know,
we've bitten off a lot.
I mean, this is
like the all-you-can-eat Vegas buffet.
But if you look at that
ground down there
and how much of it there is,
if we do get through it all,
man, I think we could have
a hell of a season.
Yeah.
All right, Chris.
You want to see
how we started out?
- [Parker] Yeah. What you got?
- Mitch?
- [Mitch] Let's see it.
- Lookie, baby.
It's your machine, Big Red.
- You ready?
- It takes everybody, man.
It's your machine.
[Paul] After running
for four days,
the team is eager to see how
the new Tony Beets' claim pays out.
[Chris] All right.
Come on, keep going. 80.
We're going to break a 100?
Huh?
[Mitch] We're going.
We're going.
[Paul] Worth over $240,000.
- [Chris] Not bad for a first run.
- [Mitch] Yeah.
And you got to think about
how early it is
and it was thawed.
So all I can say is
"Thanks, Tony."
[Chris] Thanks, Tony. Yeah.
[Mitch] It should be a
busy place down here this year
- if we get through all that ground.
- Yeah.
Especially, once you get
Slucifer going,
this place gets hopping.
[Mitch] Keep up
the good work.
[Parker] Thanks, guys. Thanks...
Thanks for coming back
this year, too.
Chris.
I heard my vo...
I heard my name.
Yes, Lord.
[Parker] Thanks... Thanks
for coming back this year.
Oh, well,
thanks for the invite.
- It's good to have the g*ng back together.
- It is.
Things seem solid
and equipment's running good
and we've got gold
on the scale and yeah...
[Mitch] Knock on wood.
It's all downhill
from here, right?
[laughter]
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I'm out. Excuse.
- Cool.
- Okay.
[Parker] We definitely
have a lot to do this year.
The plate's overflowing.
But...
this is a good start if we're going
to try to get it all done, but...
my dad would not be impressed
if I were saying things like this.
He'll...
"You got to be optimistic and, you know,
get after it," but...
We'll see.
Rick's a pretty,
pretty closed off guy,
but it just seems like lately he's
been a little bit more closed off.
Last year, Rick did over
and the fact
that he's not up there,
they're just chomping
at the bit to try and do
even more this season is
a real head-scratcher for me.
I was actually going back up for
a stretch and give him a hand and,
um, now it's to the point
where I can't even,
you know,
get a text message back.
To be receiving text messages
and phone calls from family
and asking
why he's not up there,
it's a little worrisome.
I mean, I've asked in the text
messages, "Are you good?"
It's kind of no response.
That's why I feel like
it'll just be better for me
to drive over
to his house now.
Um, I just feel
like something's definitely going on.
I just... I don't know.
I love the guy,
and I hope he's all right.
That's all I really want.
Well, let's see if he's here.
[Rubi barking]
There's Rubi.
Holy [bleep]!
