"On this episode Of "The legend of croc gold"..." "We've got reports of gold All over the island." "The clock is ticking." "Hold on!" "This river's a nightmare." "Cut it." "But that's just nature Being a bitch." "As farley's do-or-die Gold mining expedition." "Kicks into high gear..." "We're expecting at least A 10-foot croc." "The last and most important Member of his crew arrives..." "I'm taking a big risk." "And jumps into the fray." "If that thing's Getting moved around," "I'm not gonna get inside of it." "But just when the team." "Is finally ready To pull gold from the water..." "That's perfect." "A reckless decision By farley divides the crew..." " whoa, farley!" " Farley!" "Bringing his leadership Into question..." "We got to get The dredge in the water." "I don't want to argue About it." "I'm calling the shots." "And threatens to derail His daring quest." "To find millions In untouched gold." "He risked this whole operation." "If he goes down, Then we're done." "Captions paid for by Discovery communications bougainville island, Papua new guinea." "This 3,600-square-mile labyrinth." "Of lush jungles And winding rivers." "Is one of the most beautiful And deadly places on earth." "And it is where Alaskan gold miner farley dean." "Is setting up base camp." "For one of the riskiest Gold mining expeditions." "Ever undertaken." "You want to start On this side?" "We did everything we could do to Be prepared to come down here." "Wow." "It's got us." "We're using The three inch, right?" "The rainstorms in the afternoon Are torrential," "The sun is way overbearing." "Very hot." "Man, I know why there's Not a lot of people here." "It's a bitch, man." "This thing is just eating us up." " Good?" " Good." "All right." "Bougainville is located." "In the pacific ocean," "More than 5,000 miles From farley's home in alaska." "Just six months ago," "Farley's gold mine." "Was on the verge Of financial ruin." "Keep coming." "But he made a bold decision." "To shut down the family business." "And invest everything he had." "In an unprecedented Six-week expedition." "To find gold on bougainville." "There's reports Of gold all over the island." "Dealing with mostly flack, Or is there nuggets, as well?" "Nuggets." "Farley is convinced That bougainville is home." "To an untapped mother lode Of gold because local tribes." "Have been panning Its creeks for decades." "And because the land Has a unique geological history." "Bougainville was formed by." "The convergence Of tectonic plates," "Creating volcanoes That carried gold." "To the surface of the earth." "Over millions of years," "The gold was washed into the Islands, rivers, and streams," "Where according To tribal legend," "It is guarded By man-eating crocs." "I believe that Bougainville's got gold." "The question is Really going to be." "Is the island gonna Let us have it?" "Farley is betting That modern technology." "Will trump ancient superstition." "He's brought in The first high-tech." "Prospecting equipment Bougainville has ever seen." "But his team was only Given six-week visas." "With only five weeks left," "Farley plans to start Prospecting tomorrow." "All right, guys, We've got reports of gold." "All over the island." "There's dozens of places That we need to check out." "So we got to start Prospecting these things out." "And we're gonna start Right here on this river." "This trip is about Prospecting." "It's about finding A good location." "That we can get enough gold To bring us back next time." "And set up a real gold model With real plants," "With real equipment." "If we find a little bit of gold," "We got that everywhere In alaska." "Can't do that." "We need to find A lot of gold." "The key to deciding If large-scale mining." "Would be viable is calculating The profit per hour." "This is the amount of gold The team can expect to extract." "Every hour from a mine site Using their six-inch dredge." "This data will Help them zero in." "On the most profitable locations." "And will be used to decide." "If mining can produce Enough gold to cover." "The tremendous expense Involved in setting up." "A large-scale mining Operation on bougainville." "Is there a particular goal For gold that you'd like to see?" "Yes." "I feel that we can't Afford to come down here." "Unless we do An ounce an hour." "If we can't do that, Then we're wasting our time." "The plan right now is to Break it up into two teams." "One team will be prospecting." "On the upper reaches Of the river," "And the other team Will be in the boat," "And we're gonna find The good spots." "And we're gonna test The hell out of it." "A big corporation would send A drilling team down here." "With a helicopter." "And they would drill 100 holes in every creek." "We can't do that." "Best case scenario," "Can we do 20 locations While we're down here?" "20 locations to prospect In the time we got." "Is a hard, Hard goal to achieve." "We have six weeks to find out If there's any gold down here." "We're gonna have to narrow it Down to about 10 or 15 places." "It's like... kind of like, gee, Throwing a dart at the board." "And I'm not very good at darts." "With less than Five weeks left on the island," "It's imperative that the team Start dredging and find gold." "That's good." "But first, farley has Instructed jim to set up." "A network of croc traps Along the queens river," "Where they'll launch Their operation." "For construction worker Turned miner, ian rose," "The croc trap plan Seems dubious at best." "I'm interested to see how This is gonna catch a croc." "Hand them up." "When jim told me were gonna Go out building croc traps," "I expected to see metal." "He just grabbed the bamboo," "And to be totally honest, I'm skeptical." "That ain't going anywhere." "All right." "I'm good to go." "I'm curious to see If this guy." "Knows what the hell He's talking about." " There you go." " All right." "Okay." "We're coming out." "Okay." "Today we're gonna set up Some traps for crocodiles." "At the beginning Of the queens river." "Crocodiles Are definitely territorial," "And no matter where we go," "We're gonna be moving into The territory of the big male." "And if we can get him Caught and moved," "That will give us A period of time to work." "Where the risk factor's Going to be lower." "After a 45-minute boat ride," "The crew arrives at the mouth Of the queens river," "A treacherous And untamed waterway." "That is shrouded in legend." "And stories Of undiscovered fortune." "And man-eating crocs." "The responsibility of navigating This unpredictable," "Snag-filled river falls On the shoulders." "Of 32-year-old boat captain Todd beach." "Guys, this is gonna..." "I anticipate getting A little bumpy in here." "When we cross this bar, I might bottom out." "This is my first time Seeing the queens river." "I was pretty blown away." "It was explained to me that it Was going to be challenging," "And it was as promised." "Because I can see it Breaking right now." "It looks like it's breaking Clean across the river mouth," "Which means it's shallow." "Waves break in water." "That's about their height And another third." "So if you have a one foot wave That is breaking," "It's, what, At a third foot water." "And then on the trough Side of that wave?" "It's probably dry." "So if you're going to cross it, You're gonna hit it." "All right, So heads on swivels?" "Heads on swivels." "Keep a hand on the boat." "Yeah." "There's no time Like the present." "And the tide Is with us right now." "Let's hit it." "Let's do it." "Let's get it." "It's gonna get really Shallow real quick here." "Okay, here we go." "I'm gonna ride The back of this wave." "Yep." "This first run up the queens," "It's going to be A new challenge." "If I screw it up, It's all on me." "Holy crap." "On the right." "We're always On that razor's edge." "Of being a hero Or breaking the boat." "And going home." "I got it." "And then there's Months of planning." "And all kinds of money Gone down the drain." "Just like that." "Man." "As we came through the bar," "We hit a couple of bumps." "Cut it." "Cut it." "And you can hear the water." "Sucking out and the props Spinning dry, like, raaaah!" "Hold on!" "I just lost my starboard." "We good?" "One second." "I got 'em." "I got 'em both." " You got 'em both?" " Everything looks good." "I don't know why We're getting an alarm." "What?" "Everything about This river is challenging." "All right, I'm too shallow." "It's shallow." "There's sandbars That are constantly moving." "You have log jams." "Sorry, guys." "There's trees Everywhere in here." "It was hectic, and that's Just nature being a bitch." "You got it." "You got it." "Come on!" "It's a tough line you tread Between getting the job done." "And breaking things Or hurting people." "You got to err On the side of caution." "You wouldn't think That I was erring on the side." "Of caution running the boat Through the bar like that," "But that's what we're gonna be Doing day in, day out." "Now, jim, now that we're out Of the rough stuff," "Just let me know..." "When you see something good," "Try to give me as much Head's up as possible." "We're looking for a wide, Flat sandbar." "So that's no good?" "No." "Hey, we got somebody On the side of the bank." "Roger that." "He's waving us over." "Okay." "Okay." "We were heading the river." "Looking for a decent spot To set up the croc trap." "Hang on." "We're gonna bump." "And there was a guy on the side Of the river waving at us." "Hello, sir." "I didn't pay it much mind Until I thought about it," "And out here you don't Just gaffe somebody off." "Ian." "You don't know Who it is, one." "And you don't know If they need help." "So, guys, chief is Paramount chief chris..." " paramount." " Paramount, sorry." "Paramount chief." "Who is high above The chiefs." "Okay." "Okay." "And chief chris is The paramount chief." "Of some of the villages That's there around here." "Okay." "The very important thing Is chief chris owns this river." "Chief is questioning Our coming here." "What's that?" "He wants to know what actually We are doing in this river." "We just got hit for trespassing On something that I thought." "That we had permission to do." "To tell you the truth, I'm Pissed off at farley about this." "This is a game ender." "Coming up..." "We are in the danger zone." "The crew Hunts for a killer croc." "That's loose in the dredge zone." "They know we were coming." "And later..." "This is not what we want." "Farley goes rogue..." "Whoa." "Farley!" "In a rash move That divides the crew." "That will happen Once again." "I'm calling the shots, todd." "I call the shots." "11:00 a.M..." "Ian and the boat crew." "Are battling their way Up the treacherous queens river." "On a mission to set croc traps." "But the island is fighting them At every turn," "Threatening to destroy Farley's chances." "Of saving his family business." "Okay." "We were heading up the river Looking for a decent spot." "To set up the croc trap," "And we just got hit For trespassing." "I have no idea Who owns the river." "The politics here are crazy." "I've met 30 chiefs Since I've been here," "And then I'm sure There's chiefs above them." "And there's one huge chief On a throne somewhere." "I'll never see him." "That's not why I'm here." "That's farley's deal." "Does he know farley?" "To tell you the truth, I'm kind of pissed off." "At farley about this." "This is a game ender." "The reason we're here In general is to..." "To look for gold In this river." "And today we're here To make sure this boat." "Can travel up this river Safely." "And to see if we have Any crocodiles." "And trap those crocodiles." "In case they are A threat to us." "He's saying the crocodile attack Here have been very frequent." "Just last month, A very big one caught a boy." "Just right there." "Right there." "This boy came to take A swim in the river," "And he got stung By that crocodile." "Chief, today we're gonna Set some traps." "And hopefully We can catch the ones." "That are being a problem For your village, also." "Guys, chief is very happy That we are." "To do that crocodile hunting." "And he really wants us To make sure." "To get those crocodiles Off here." "We will do... we will do Our absolute best." "Chief is giving us His permission." "And blessing to Prospect in this river." "Thank you very much, Chief." "Okay." "The chief's story Gives credence to tribal legends." "That the gold In the queens river." "Is protected By giant crocodiles." "These ancient legends." "May actually be based In scientific fact." "In waterways like The queens river," "Many of the largest Gold deposits are found." "In depressions along The river bottom." "These same depressions Are where crocodiles prefer." "To rest to ambush Bottom-feeding fish." "It is likely that Ancient islanders." "Looking for gold in these spots." "Would've encountered The deadly crocs," "Who would have appeared to be Standing guard over the gold." "But legend or not, The queens river." "Is swarming With cold-blooded killers." "Chief chris telling us About the child being eaten." "Tells me there's a big male," "Rogue crocodile That's not afraid of people." "He might even be Preying on people." "And he's probably Still in the area." "115 miles north," "The last member of farley's team." "Is finally arriving On bougainville." "Hello." "Morning." "But commercial diver, Sekeli smith," "Still has a long journey Ahead of him." "Aboard the closest thing The island has." "To public transportation." "Good morning." "Is this going to rovana?" "I make money underwater." "That's what I do." "I'm a commercial diver." "I've been diving." "For the past four years." "And I'm pretty good at it." "Thank you." "Farley's plan for today Is for me to hop in a pmv." "It's like a bus... it's their Transportation around here." "Rovana?" "Right?" " Rorovana." " Rorovana." "Hop in one of those guys," "Go down to rorovana, And meet him." "What's your name?" " Steven?" " Yeah." "Sekeli." "Sekeli." "Before today, I have had No overseas experience." "I've never left Washington state," "Besides one time to go to oregon For one day of work." "This is one of the biggest Challenges I've ever faced," "I've never been Around crocodiles before." "It's... it's gonna Get dangerous." "So far it's been A very bumpy ride." "Roads are not paved, Like I'm used to back home." "So, lots of..." "Lots of bumpy logging roads." " Hello." " Hello." "Very bumpy ride so far." "My butt's going to be A little sore tomorrow." "100 miles south, ian, jim," "And todd continue their mission." "To set crocodile traps." "On the banks Of the queens river." "You want to be On that side." "Nice." "Nice driving, cap." "With chief chris's report." "Of a man-eating croc Prowling the area," "Their work has taken on A new sense of urgency." "Jim plans to create A networks of traps." "Throughout the dredging zone." "These will allow him to capture." "And relocate dangerous crocs From the area." "Before the team begins Prospecting for the gold." "That can breathe new life Into farley's family business." "There's a beach up here." "You want to check it?" "We can get out And check it out." "All right, let's do that." "And I'll just..." "I'm gonna run it straight Into that beach right there." "Copy." "Here we go." "Anytime we jump off the boat." "Into the water, We take a chance." "Here it comes." "We definitely have To be on our toes." "We're always Scanning the horizon." "We're watching the shoreline." "There's 14 different Kinds of crocodiles." "This saltwater crocodile Is the one responsible." "For more human deaths Than any other crocodile." "I like it, ian." "Nice and firm up here." "Good spot." "Let's put the entrance here." "And just put it Together right up here." "So this is where the chief Was just telling us." "That he sees The big one, right?" "Yeah." "Right close to where The little boy was grabbed." "That's the one we want." "Let's unload the bamboo." " Yes, sir." " Get started." "We're setting up croc Traps right here," "Because we're gonna Want to dredge here." "By setting the traps In this area," "We are in the danger zone." "I need the sharp edges On the ends of these." "So we're gonna drive them In the ground." " Okay." " And we're gonna create a path," "A walkway up onto The hill up here." "The biggest pain in the ass Is having to be vigilant." "Looking for these crocs." "Where I come from, You drop your head." "And you work your ass off." "Till you hear the whistle." "Miner and heavy Equipment operator ian rose." "Grew up on an alaskan homestead." "And has been prospecting gold For as long as he can remember." "I believe my role on this team Is the catchall," "The guy that gets it done When it needs to get done." "You need something humped up A hill, that's me." "Like farley, ian was hit hard." "By the struggling Alaskan gold industry." "And has taken a massive risk." "On farley's bougainville dream." "I'm sacrificing a lot." "I paid for myself To get down here." "I'm losing a bunch Of work being here." "I miss my family." "That's the reason I'm doing it." "If farley's even half right," "This is the kind of money That changes a family's name." "This heat is killer." "Who taught you this?" "The indian tribes down South florida been doing this..." "Yeah?" "Hundreds of years, Catching them this way." "Really?" "When we first loaded up The bamboo," "Ian wasn't really sure what The plans were for the day." "He was actually looking For a metal trap." "If you're not really sure Of the science behind it," "It can be a little confusing." " One more." " But it's a good trap." "You good with that, jim?" "I can't get out of here." "What's next?" "What do we got to do To wrap this thing up?" " Now we got to bait it." " Okay." "Let's bait it." "We built an s-shaped trap today." "We're gonna drop The whole chicken." "Right up here At the end of it." "This type of trap works Because crocodiles," "They're not quite smart enough To know to turn the tail." "Around the corner As they're backing up." "Crocodile smells the chicken," "Follows this path," "The poles get tighter," "He sees the meat, smells it," "He's gonna come up here and eat, He can't get out that way." "He's gonna have to Push himself backward," "And his tail will go between A couple of these holes," "And that will stop His backwards travel." "Now he can only go Back forward again." "And he'll go up And back all night." "We're expecting at least A 10-foot croc?" " Yeah." " Perfect." "Coming up..." "This is not what we want." "When technical problems Derail the mission..." "If that thing's Getting moved around," "I'm not gonna get inside of it." "Let's get the thing going." "Farley takes a risk that puts His leadership in question." "We got to get the dredge In the water to be ready to go." "I don't want to argue About it." "There's no argument." "He's got to be ready." "I'm calling the shots, Todd." "Very bumpy ride so far." "My butt's going to be A little sore tomorrow." "Commercial diver sekeli smith." "Has quit his job and traveled More than 6,000 miles." "To join farley dean's High-risk mining expedition." "Now, after a 5-hour journey," "Sekeli's finally Approaching rorovana," "The nearest village To farley's base camp." "I'm 22 years old." "I'm the youngest member Of the team." "Thank you." "But for me, It doesn't really matter." "It's just a matter of time Before they see." "What I'm capable of." "So this is it?" " Rorovana?" " Yeah." " Let's move this thing." " Where we going?" "Straight over here In the grass." "Back at base camp, Captain todd has joined bryce." "And ben as they race to assemble The modified shark cage." "That is the linchpin of farley's Ambitious dredging plan." "And this is The bottom obviously." "Like nearly all Of the specialized." "Mining equipment farley Has brought to the island," "This 350-pound, Reinforced aluminum cage." "Is the first of its kind On bougainville." "Perfect." "Farley's ingenious But risky plan." "Depends on gaining access To the island's virgin," "Gold-rich river bottoms," "Which the locals warn Are swarming with crocodiles." "To do so, diver sekeli smith." "Will be secured inside The custom cage," "When he becomes the first man To operate a dredge." "In the legendary queens river." "Hold this thing up here." "Want to go on this side?" "Turn it on its other side." "We're using a cage To go dredging," "Because there's 20-foot crocodiles." "In the water That we're dredging in," "And they pose a serious risk To the life of sekeli," "Our diver, If they were to get to him." " Yeah, that fits." " Get it up on top." "That's it." "Yeah." "It's been pressure tested." "All the aluminum welds Have been inspected." "Its design is so we can dredge Safely in water with crocodiles." " This hole lines up here." " Yes." " You did that." "Okay." " Yep." "Cool." "Perfect." "You want to Throw one in right here?" "This cage is Absolutely croc proof." "I have no question about that." "It's our ability to deploy it." "In the river With the current." "And be able to do Effective dredging work." "That's the big question." "There it is." "My big concern is the current," "Because it could Break the cage loose." "While sekeli's inside dredging." "If the cage tumbled Along the bottom," "He could get thrown Around inside of it." "Sekeli could very well Get seriously injured." "Or disoriented," "And then he's trapped inside, Slowly running out of air," "And that can be Really catastrophic." " Good to go." " Yep." "If you get a little rowdy, ben, We'll lock you in this thing." "Good luck keeping me." "Hey, lookit here." "Farley." "What's up, man?" "Sekeli, buddy." "How's it going?" "Great, man." "How've you been?" "When I saw sekeli Come around the tree," "I was so excited to see him," "Because that means That we can start dredging." " Hey, sekeli." " Sorry to interrupt, guys." " How's it going?" " How's it going?" " What's going on, brother?" " How you doing?" "I think my dad was Most excited to see him," "Because it was the final Piece to the puzzle." " How you doing?" " Welcome." "When we saw sekeli Arrive on the beach, man," "We knew time was up." "Well, hey, we got the whole crew Finally together." "Dude, it's good To see you, man." " Yeah, you too, brother." " It's good to see you." "No more pussyfooting around." "It's time to get in the water, And let's go dredge." "After a year of work That farley's done." "Getting everything set up." "And coming down here And spending all this money," "There's a lot of pressure on me To get in the water." "They want me in there now." "I mean, I'm looking At this cage," "And it's something Out of "Jaws."" "It's pretty trippy" "I'm gonna have to be Getting in this thing." "And we're going to be Diving in some current." "That cage is pretty light, So there's a chance." "That the current's going To catch that cage." "And it's gonna want to push it, Maybe roll it." "Or if there's a rogue wave." "Or if there's a big swell That picks it up," "That thing can tip over, I may not be able to get out," "Then I'm losing air." "That's going to be scary for me." "I have not dredged for gold Before, so this is new for me." "I'm taking a big risk Coming all the way down here." "But farley convinced me." "This is a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity." "So I have trust in him." "I have confidence in him." "And I belive that we're going To make some money." "9:00 a.M... farley and His hand-picked crew head out." "For their maiden Dredging mission." "With less than five weeks On the island," "It's imperative that everything Go according to plan," "If they hope to access a fortune In undiscovered gold." "And save farley's family From financial ruin." "So there's The river mouth, yeah." "To reduce the threat Of a deadly croc attack." "During their first mission," "Farley has selected A dive site in the ocean," "Just outside the entrance To the treacherous queens river." "He believes the strong river Currents may have pushed." "Large amounts of gold Out of the river mouth." "That settled along The sandy ocean floor." "But this decision Is not without risk." "Dredging in the open ocean Exposes sekeli." "To strong currents And rogue waves." "That could topple the cage And trap him inside." "I feel a major sense Of responsibility." "For this 22-year-old young man." "That we're sending In the water." "He's looking at this And bougainville." "As a great opportunity To make some money." "And to be part Of a great adventure." "And so, this young man is going To be diving in a croc cage." "That we haven't used before," "And we really need to watch him." "To make sure he feels like He's comfortable in that water." "So let's go in And I'll stop the boat." "Where I kind of have An estimate." "We'll see what we got." "Yeah, gauge it." "Okay." "Roger." "How's it look?" "Murky." "Not... not horrible." "I'm excited to see How much gold we get," "Because it may be a lot of gold Right at the mouth of the river." "And we can start there." "In alaska, they dredge a lot In the ocean around nome." " Yeah." " Shallow?" "Yeah." "Five feet-ish." "That's perfect." "That's how deep I want it." "These rivers rage All the time." "There's a lot of water Flowing through them." "That could be pushing the gold Out into the ocean." "Water's nice and warm." "All right." "Are we ready?" "I believe we are." "Watch your fingers." "Can we pick it up?" "Okay." "Coming down." "Plenty of slack..." "Give it plenty of slack, ben." "I don't want to let it Get under the boat." "If we can help it." "Holy cow." "This is Not what we want." "The lightweight Aluminum cage floats." "And is tossed around By the ocean's swell." "It's a nightmare scenario That will put sekeli." "At tremendous risk If he attempts to work." "Inside the cage." "Well, you know, it might just Have air too in all the tubes." "Nah." "That air's got to Come out of the cage." "It looks like, to us," "That cage is kind of maybe Bouncing around a little bit," "Getting pushed by The swell a little bit," "And so for me, if that thing's Getting moved around," "I'm not gonna get inside of it." "Maybe we should be Pulling in our bow line." "It's starting to come up." "Let's get it back to The boat where it was," "And we'll come up With something." "This might not work." "They were kind of debating On what was gonna happen," "You know, What the cage was doing," "And farley just did not want To waste any time." "Damn it." "Let's get the thing going." " Whoa." "Farley." " Whoa, bad idea, dude." "What was that, man?" "Damn it." "Let's get the thing going." " Whoa, farley." " Whoa, bad idea, dude." "What was that, man?" "10:00 a.M..." "Farley dean is determined." "To deploy his modern Mining equipment." "And uncover a million-dollar Fortunate in gold." "Buried in the virgin soil Of the ocean floor." "Watch yourself, farley." "Watch yourself." "The difficulty getting The cage in the water," "The ocean was moving the cage." "It was obvious it was Going to roll over," "And the guys really Didn't know what to do." "There was too much debate going On and not enough action." " Whoa." " You okay?" " I can't wait any longer." " We got to get done." "We only have five weeks To get the gold." "I'm not the guy that's Going to sit around," "Debate issues with everybody." "It's not a democracy." "This is a dictatorship." "I can hold this." "Sekeli, you need to get ready." " You're not moving, right?" " No, I'm not moving at all." "I'm holding it down, man." " Is the cage hard on bottom?" " Yep, it's hard on bottom." " I'm moving a bit." " Okay, roger." "Jumping on the cage Just kind of shows." "What type of person farley is." "Yeah, but how is he going To get back here?" "Just hook it On to your upper leg." "And we'll hoist You back up." "Farley's not the type of guy That likes to slow down." "He likes to just Get things done," "But he could've Gotten hurt." "Ben, get that dredge Ready, buddy." " We're gonna..." " No, we're doing it." "We're just talking about it." "We need to get sekeli In the water first." "And then we'll throw The dredge together." "Ben." "Damn it, Let's get the thing going." "Let's get it going." "We got to get the dredge." "In the damn water To be ready to go." "We've been waiting too long." "This is four damn weeks." "I don't want to argue about it." "It's time to get the thing done." "No, there's no argument, farley." "Okay, there's no argument." " There is no argument." " He's got to be ready." "Because that will happen once Sekeli's in the water, period." "I'm calling the shots, todd." "I call the shots." "I wasn't really surprised." "Once the argument Started happening," "Because I sort of saw it coming." "I do rely on farley As a leader," "But farley's really strong Willed about certain things." "He wants to do What he wants to do." "And todd doesn't like Being told what to do." "He's gonna voice his opinion." "Moments before farley Jumped off the boat," "He was in charge." "But when he stepped Foot off that boat," "He relinquished His ownership of "Charge."" "Okay, let's get some pins And let's start." "Putting these things in." "Farley believes The key to uncovering." "Millions of dollars in gold." "Is a six-inch portable Suction dredge," "Which functions like a powerful Underwater vacuum cleaner." "Twin 23-horsepower pumps Force water into a chamber," "Creating a vortex of suction That draws up sand, gravel," "And gold from the river Or ocean floor." "This material is deposited Into the sluice box," "Where the heaviest elements, Like gold," "Sink to the bottom And are trapped." "Nothing like this dredge has Ever been seen on the island." "It's capable of moving 10 cubic yards of dirt," "Enough to fill a dump Truck every hour." "All this stuff goes In at the same time." "12:00 p.M..." "Tensions are rising." "As the crew struggles To assemble the dredge." "Farley has been standing in the Water for more than two hours," "Preventing the lightweight cage." "From being swept away By the current." "And the island has thrown Another surprise at the team..." "A storm is beginning To form on the horizon." "If it blows in, choppy seas." "Will force them to abandon The mission for the day." "This island has A major split personality." "It's hot during the day... 15 minutes later, it's going To rain like crazy." "This place could just eat us up." "It's raining." "I'm soaked all the way through." "It's extremely frustrating That we're this close." "To start with the dredge," "And here I am, Standing out in the rain." "They're over there Fiddling with things." "They don't want me Over there with them." "Yelling at them To get it done quicker." "This can be the corner With random stuff." "This is going to be the Neat corner with your dive gear." "How about that?" "We're not leaving until we get Some dredging done today." "End of story." "We'll have gold In our box tonight." "That's good enough, I think, jim." "After nearly three hours," "The team is finally ready to Lower the dredge into the water." "I could hold the lines." "Keep it next to the boat." "But they are far Behind schedule," "And any further delays Will seriously jeopardize." "The day's mission." "Although the choice to work In the ocean," "Rather than on The queens river," "Reduces the threat From crocodiles," "The ocean current Will make underwater dredging." "Both difficult and dangerous." " It's about time." " It's about time, bud." " Rock star sekeli." " Come to papa." "Finally got it in the water, Sekeli." "Good job, man." "Guys, good job." "So right now, we've Got the dredge at the cage," "And they're going to start Getting ready to dredge," "Get those motors started." "Sekeli will come back, Get his dive gear," "And actually do some dredging Here probably within." "A half-hour, I would think." "I would hope," "Because it's taken All morning." "We need to get A measurable amount." "Of gold this time around." "That way we can try To figure out our average." "Of how much gold we can Get per hour in this spot." "The crew needs A minimum two-hours dredge time." "At a given location To get a reliable assessment." "Of the gold content At that site." "When you're gonna Make your final dive," "You go down, grab the hose, And start sucking on that thing," "Give me a thumbs up, 'cause we need to time it." "It's important that we time The time on the sluice box." "So we get An accurate gold count." "I mean, if we're pulling An ounce an hour," "Then it's worth our time To stay right here." " Yeah." " Okay." "What kind of visibility You got down there?" "Maybe a foot." "If I'm lucky." "It has taken More than four hours." "Of intensive labor and teamwork," "But the cage and the dredge Are finally in position." "And ready to be deployed." "But captain todd notices A critical error." "That may undermine The entire day's efforts." "This only has 1,500 pounds In it, sekeli." "By the time I was ready to dredge." "And got everything set up," "I went to go turn my air on." "And there was less than half Of the air in that tank." "My suspicion is that Someone bumped it." "And it bled out some air." "So that's just one more thing To add to this." "The depleted air In the scuba tank." "Is a major setback." "If they are lucky, the team Will be able to dredge." "For a maximum of 30 minutes," "A far cry from the two hours That they planned on." "It seems that all of their hard Work may be wasted," "And their first dredging mission Could be a bust." "We barely got The dredge in the water." "If it was any other situation," "It's kind of a point where, "Okay, let's not dive,"." "But with everything on the line Here, that's not an option." " Am I good to go?" " Good to go, sekeli." "Jump." "Coming up..." "The crew chases pay dirt..." "We got dirt." "And farley pays the price." "For spending hours In the open ocean." "Farley's showing symptoms Of hyperthermia." "We need to get him back As fast as possible." "Jump." "Right now, we are anchored Just outside the queens river." "First we put the cage In the water." "Next we put sekeli in the water." "So he can get himself Inside the cage," "Operate the door, seeing how Heavy it is on the bottom." "It's our first day, and we Have only a half-tank of air." "To breathe off of." "Now I'm just gonna have to Breathe slow and make it work." "We have to get down there and Have to start getting some gold." "Dredge is pumping." "Now we're pumping." "Yeah, he's dredging now." "Looking good." "3:00 p.M..." "After almost five hours Of preparation," "Farley and his mining team Are finally dredging." "There, we got dirt." "We got dirt." "Dredging." "That's big news." "Got dirt." "A long time coming." "But a crucial error Has left diver sekeli smith." "With a half-filled air tank." "And the strenuous underwater Work is quickly consuming." "What little air he has left." "The team's original plan." "To do a thorough search Of the ocean floor." "Has turned into A chaotic scramble." "To find any gold at all." "Being inside that Cage wasn't easy." "I'm not dredging In a lake or a pond." "This is in the middle Of the ocean." "I only have maybe like A foot of visibility, maybe." "And the swells Are kind of throwing you." "From one side of the cage to The other, and then, you know," "Back into the other side Of the cage again." "So that's kind of what I'm up against down here." "It's no joke." "We're all burning Through time and daylight." "The one precious commodity At this point." "Is air for the divers." "We're not really sure Why we have." "A half-tank aboard the boat." "Maybe someone bumped The knob that controls it." "Maybe an error In filling it up, 'cause we have a compressor That we're both unfamiliar with." "That's on me and sekeli, I'd say." "So I'm bearing That responsibility." "Dredging is Physically demanding," "And the harder you work, The more air you breathe." "That's just how it goes." "Originally I was hoping." "To get a couple of hours Of time dredging." "We just ran out of air." "I only spent, you know, 15 minutes max." "You know, it's a lot of work For not a lot of time." "I mean, that's just Kind of disheartening." "Does that mean You're out of air?" "We did not get enough Dredging time today." "I'm not satisfied With that at all," "But we're out of air." "A lot of black sand Down there." "Yeah." "It's good." "There's some rocks." "Good." "I mean, I seen some specks And something shining, so..." "Okay." "Six hours on the cage, 13 minutes of dredging." "Not the way we'd Like for it to go." "Not enough really to do Any significant testing at all." "It's just like a snapshot..." "Going to a movie." "And watching one frame." "So, you know, It really didn't work." "Can you push it closer For a second?" "And this end needs To be pointed out this way." "The crew will have to wait." "Until they return to base camp." "To see if they managed To recover any gold." "Let that go out." "But after a full day Of strenuous work," "Their 13 minutes of dredging Is a crushing defeat," "And the ordeal, As well as the island," "Have taken their toll on farley." "Hey, todd?" "Can you come over And hook onto this." "So I can get out Of the water?" "If you don't mind swimming, You can come back." " No." " It'll tip over." " It's gonna tip over?" " It'll tip over." "Let's not let it tip over." "Farley's run out of steam." "He's sick." "He's been exposed to The elements all day," "So we got to get him Into a safe position." "But right now, having the cage In the water is only safe." "Because we have farley Weighting it down." "Damn it." "Right now farley's showing Early symptoms of hyperthermia." "He's got the chills." "We need to get him back to A dry spot as fast as possible." "Let's all pull anchor And get over there for him," "Because he's been on there For six hours, guys." "It's so hot down there You'd never expect somebody." "To get hyperthermia, but when They're in the water all day," "It drops your temperature, And that's what hyperthermia is." "Reverse." "Reverse." " Okay." " We're on board." "Thank you, guys." " I got this." " Sekeli." "Farley did push himself Too hard today." "That's what it looks Like to have gold fever." "I'm fried." "I stayed too long." "He is obsessed with Getting this operation going." "Hopefully he didn't do too much Damage to himself." "It absolutely made me Question his leadership." "If he's not taking Care of himself," "Then we don't have a leader." "He risked this whole operation." "He risked himself." "If he goes down, we're done." "On the next "Legend of croc gold"..." "We're in the middle Of nowhere gold mining." "Farley's daring expedition To find rivers of gold." "On bougainville Hits a roadblock..." "Just hang on, farley!" "Dissent among the crew..." "This is a show Right now." "Farley bit off more Than he could chew." "Killer crocs..." "There's something in there." "And a run of bad luck..." "That hose is on fire." "Curse the team." "We hiked 30 minutes Through the jungle." "Now we got to do A river crossing." "That's full Of damn crocs." "Threaten To break their spirits..." "Guys, get out of the water now!" "Quick!" "Quick!" "And destroy Their bold mission." "To save farley's family From financial ruin." "I'm not gonna give up till the Last damn day is here."
