"They're 2 hours behind schedule." "And more than 100 miles From base camp." "See how deep it is?" "Looks pretty deep still." "About 20 feet still." " You can see the bottom?" " Yeah, for sure." "Todd and his crew will be forced To find safe harbor." "And spend the night." "Somewhere in the dangerous Waters of bougainville island." "60 miles to the south, Meghan, bryce, and ian."

"Does put a lot Of pressure on him," "But I don't believe He sees it that way." "I think he sees it more Of bringing his children in." "On the opportunity Of a lifetime." "Let's go, guys." "Of course, I have doubt." "I'm the realist of the group." "There's a fair chance that It could be a wild goose chase." "But you'll never strike it rich On your front porch." "9:00 p.M.

"We're just gonna move the boat A short ways, anchor up," "And, hopefully, we don't Get bothered again." "And just keep a watch all night." "It's gonna be a sleepless night." "60 miles to the south, farley And his team have been summoned." "To meet the tribal chiefs Of bougainville island." "The chiefs, Who control all of the land."

"And that is a concern That my chiefs." "Who own the land With their people, they do have." "In the old days," "Mining was not In the best interest." "Of the people Of bougainville." "The chiefs are going to say A few words of challenge." "We do not want the mistakes That happened in the past." "Distrust of foreigners By bougainville locals." "Dates back to 1969," "When a large foreign corporation." "Opened a massive copper mine On the island." "With almost no consultation With the local populace."

"I kind of thought that Everything had been worked out." "It wasn't." "There was still A lot of hostility." "There was not a single smile On the faces," "And it was really tense." "At the beginning, The challenge will be difficult," "But we have the opportunity To do something really special." "It is so difficult." "Chief, please let me address A few things." "No chemicals." "We will never use chemicals In bougainville." "It felt like an interrogation." "It was a show of force." "And they got their point across." "How would I trust you." "That you will do Something good for me?" "This gonna be an uphill battle." "We may be going home." "Coming up..." "He will chase you out." "Farley fights to keep his Dream of island gold alive."

"And, yes, we are very white." "I am burning white." "But we did not come To bougainville with a gun." "We did not come to bougainville With a corporation." "When we come down here, We want to be your partner." "And not take advantage Of your culture or island again." "We are giving half of everything We find with our dredge." "To the local chief, half." "That is unheard of Anywhere in the world." "We want to help you have better Hospitals for you children," "Better schools For your children." "And we know that we are only A tiny step for that." "We are here to do what we can, And that is our pledge to you." "I don't know if I've ever been So proud of my dad before." "He showed the entire island What he was doing," "And it came from his heart." "But I'm now starting to realize." "That this might not be as easy As we thought it was," "And we might be going home." "The chiefs are evenly divided." "The final decision now rests Solely in the hands." "Of paramount chief michael eite." "Let me have the honor Of inviting." "The most paramount chief, Chief eite." "He alone will decide If farley's dream." "To find the island's hidden Mother lode will live or die." "Chief is now Giving his blessing." "For the real mining To take place."

"Today's plan is To meet up with the boat crew." "And to start building base camp." "Everybody here Is on a six-week visa." "It's not a lot of time." "If we don't find gold, It'll take me years." "To recoup from this financial Burden of making this trip." "And we won't come back down." "Hey, wake up!" " Hey." " What the hell?" "Supposed to be Getting ready for us." "There they are." "After a long night On the open ocean," "The boat crew And their precious cargo." "Of specialized modern mining Equipment are safe at base camp." "This is it." "Look at this spot." "More than a year Of intensive planing." "Has finally come to fruition," "And farley is on the brink Of making his dream come true." "But first, the team needs to Establish a base of operations." " Did good on this one, farley." " Yeah." "Well, as you can see, We've got stakes." "We've got a small cabin here." "We've got another cabin here." "And we've got a bigger cabin Over here." "So what's gonna happen Is I'm gonna take jim." "We're gonna go on out, And we're gonna start." "Exploring the queens river Right away." "So you guys are gonna Be in charge." "Of taking care of this And getting this done." "Okay." "All right, you guys, we're gonna Start over here." " This stuff's heavy." " Yeah." "Perfect." "Let's go." "Let's get this done."

"Tribal chiefs have reported That in the past 15 years," "Locals have pulled Nearly half a million dollars." "From the banks of the queens." "Using only primitive Panning techniques." "We'll go up a little ways," "We'll do some panning, See what we can find." "And then just keep working away Right up the river." "Farley is confident That his modern mining equipment." "Will match that amount Or more every month." "But first, he must locate Gold-rich terrain." "That he can begin prospecting With his dredge boat." "I'm very excited about Panning in the queens river." "There could be a lot of gold At the bottom of that river." "Wow." "I've been working With alligators." "And crocodiles my whole life." "Basically, it's just about all I've ever done." "Well, if this doesn't look Like crocodile country," " I don't know what does." " Man." "I bet there's crocs from one end Of it to the other." "I'm not really necessary As far as the gold mining," "But the crocodile danger Where we're gonna be working at." "Is actually really high." "And it needs to be under The supervision and direction." "Of somebody That knows these animals." "There's one Right over there." " See the yellow underneath?" " Right there." "Right there." " Right there at the green brush." " Not a real big one," "But where there's a young one, There's an old one." "Look how well She blends in." "She's not even bothered by us." "Our biggest challenge." "Is actually getting past These crocodiles." "To get to the gold in the river." "The big crocodile We're gonna have to worry about." "Is gonna come up out of nowhere." "You're not gonna see it."
