Bering Sea Gold

of modern science.

In the homestretch of summer mining,

the only commodity nearly as valuable as gold is momentum.

And after years of research,

we here at bsg labs

have developed the ability to measure momentum

in quantitative form.

-Yeah, baby! -Yeah!

now, you, the viewer,

can track as these historic miners

inch ever closer to their goals.

let me show you how you do this.

Oh, my gosh. This is some really frickin' nice gold.

woo-hoo!

Hell yeah.

or...

...Fall helplessly further into the abyss.

I'm okay.

I hear the wind is blowing me back.

is it bad?

you've got blood coming out of every orifice.

stay tuned and find out.

Let the games begin.

I'm gonna go make some gold.

That's what mr. Gold tells me.

-We make it. -Make the gold.

-We make it. -Huh?

We don't find it, we make it.

one scoop at a time. Just the right mixture.

I hope. Hopefully, we'll make a lot.

with quick patch work complete,

mr. Gold is ready for his first full day assault

on the bering sea,

with the christine rose

and the newly revamped myrtle irene.

and now we're gonna run some parts out to cody

on the cr, drop them off.

Get on the myrtle and take a look in the box

and see what it looks like.

I'll tell you, last night, they dug all night too.

That's what nightshift is for.

For my plan to take over nome,

I need everything to be running on all cylinders.

The christine rose has to be running around the clock

turning up gold like it has been.

Now I need the myrtle to join the fun

and move five times as much material a day.

Everything seems to be working fairly well.

Yeah.

It's all working really well.

But the true test will be how much gold's in that box, shawn.

That's the... That's the true test.

-Yes. -If there ain't no gold,

-we're in a major hurry. -We're gonna put gold.

We're gonna put gold in that box.

I hope so. I'm betting on it.

I already bet the farm, so.

It's pretty bad. I bet my farm on mr. Gold.

first up, a check on the christine rose.

How's it going, buddy?

that's nice.

Look at that. That's how our box is gonna look

when we get over there.

It's just full of gold right in here. Look at all that.

Our screen deck is five times bigger,

so we should have about five times the amount of gold.

I've put tons of money into this thing

and if our box looks like this,

it's a home run for sure.

I think I did the right thing by getting this

to go on board.

- whoo! - let's go look at some real gold, shawn.

oh, yeah. Let's go look at the myrtle.

we've been working out deeper with the myrtle irene.

The christine rose can only work to about 22 feet.

But the myrtle can go to 30.

So the myrtle irene will be able to follow

this ancient riverbed a lot further offshore.

I just want to see...

Just packed, yeah.

-Full like the christine rose. -Yeah.

That's what made me do the deal,

is every time I go

to the christine rose, it's all gold.

we know what we're doing.

I hope.

The christine rose's box is packed with gold.

The myrtle irene has been running all night,

so the myrtle's box should be loaded too.

But it being so much bigger than the christine rose,

I expect the box with five times as much gold.

All right. Time to make some gold.

I wanna see yellow, and lots of it.

I wanna see nothing but gold up there, shawn.

I wanna see some gold too.

Not seeing .

Nada.

There's no gold.

Do you think it's doing what it's supposed to?

Yeah, I'm seeing it.

I'm not seeing it like on the christine.

Yeah, well, it's getting beat down in there.

If the box is working right, you don't wanna see it on top,

you wanna see it down right there.

Like that.

Grab me a pan and we'll know.

Let me go grab a pan for you.

I'm pretty surprised it's not looking the same

as the christine rose.

We'll do a pan, see if that gold's way down there.

what are we gonna do if there's no gold?

we'll move.

-It's in there. -We're getting the gold.

We're getting gold.

Needs to be better, though.

there's gold here, but not nearly enough.

Not this much in debt this late in the season.

Mediocre ain't gonna cut it.

I think we're gonna move down just a little

bit there with the christine rose.

Let's move over there and go fill up the box.

We ain't making gold certainly here.

all right, let's go ahead.

Let's start coming up easy on those spots.

I don't think it's a flaw in the design.

It better not be, otherwise, we'll be broke in a hurry.

Christine rose is just on way better ground

and the myrtle's on crap right now.

Here we go.

with the clock ticking, the myrtle irene

begins the two-mile trek to join the christine rose.

Does this job ever get easy?

No. No, it doesn't. Never easy.

Especially went it counts the most

and that seems like when the most goes wrong.

It sucks.

ten miles east...

come one, come all.

Old and young, to the grand adventure of the kellys.

Sit back, relax and watch us juggle,

breathe fire and pull a rabbit out of our ass.

the kellys look to keep riding

the first hot streak they've had all season.

We're heading out to cripple river today.

We're gonna get back there, get two rigs in the water.

We're gonna kill it.

What I think we should do is we should have a competition.

That's right. I'm gonna go against you today.

Well, let's see. Let's play that game.

Okay, let's get going.

So we finally got an opportunity this summer.

Dave mccully is letting us mine one of his leases.

We're gonna be mining cripple river as dave's crew.

But I don't wanna be an employee.

I wanna be a partner. Especially with a millionaire.

So today I proposed a competition

with dave's son, chris.

And if we have time, mandy's gonna go down

for a shift and see if he can beat us.

So when dave sees what the kellys can make happen,

I think dave's gonna want to partner up with us.

Today I'm gonna kill it.

I'm gonna show these people what's going on.

We're here. Let the games begin.

I got it. Whoa.

I'm okay.

Put your backs in it!

Ready to rock and roll. We're on it!

It looks like a work of art there, chris.

Looks like it should be on display or somewhere.

we're both gonna go down.

I'm gonna use the sickle, he's gonna use the bones

and we're gonna see who gets the most gold.

All you... Really, all you need is a box

and a jet, and your hose, that's it.

Two dredges, one competition means big gold.

This is gonna knock dave's socks off.

Let's hope to god it works.

The plan's simple today. We're gonna work

the starboard side and he's gonna work port side.

We're working the left side, they're working the right side.

we're gonna lay down the rules right now.

Make sure it's fair.

Competition rules are super simple

just to make sure everything's fair.

We're both starting out with clean boxes today.

we're gonna go, each of us, a good five hours

underneath the water.

first gold of the season?

what?

That there is the penance for the master.

That's the penance.

so right now dave's offering the nugget I got as a prize

for today's competition.

So I have a chance of getting my nugget back.

I can do this.

You and I are first. So we'll meet up underneath the water.

We'll touch gloves and we'll go to war.

Okay, let's get going.

Let's get on it.
