[MUSIC PLAYING]
How's it going down there, champ?
I've been on good [INAUDIBLE] the whole time,
and I'm still on gold.
Gold in almost like every crack.
Yeah, that's good.
NARRATOR: Round one nears the end in the epic battle
of the dredges, as Kris Kelly aims to impress his boss
and land a new partnership.
OK, you guys, you guys have been down there,
like, five hours each now.
Let's wrap it up.
KRIS KELLY: OK, I'm coming up.
CHRIS MCCULLY: It's over for you too, bro.
Time is time.
KRIS KELLY: Coming up.
BRAD KELLY: So far, we had a good day.
The competition has been going real good.
Young Chris had a few minor technical problems,
nothing serious.
[MACHINE HUMMING]
So right now, I'm trying to get more gold
than anybody in this contest.
But really, I'm trying to show Dave McCully what
the Kellys are made of, so we can land a deal
for the rest of the summer.
Yeah baby!
Ah-hah!
I don't want to get cocky right now,
but I think we're going to pull this off.
[LAUGHING] OK, I'm glad you got gold.
[LAUGHTER]
My turn to get down there and beat 'em both.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
BRAD KELLY: My money would have to be, definitely, on Andy
to get more gold.
Quieter, easier to work with, not
a lot of complaints out of him.
He needs a cigarette, I just take it out
and put it on the snorkel, and the air compressor
sucks it down to him.
And he's happy.
He's a happy camper.
We're going to bring Andy into the competition
to show off what he can do.
Good to go.
He's a power horse.
He's going to make a lot of gold for me.
I hope he doesn't beat me.
I don't think so.
I'm a tough guy to beat.
We just want to show Dave that when it comes to getting gold,
you want the Kellys on your team.
[EQUIPMENT RUNNING]
Looks like you're having twins.
I'm going to be Uncle Kris.
[LAUGHTER]
Come on, Andy-- don't screw this up.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCUBA BREATHING]
BRAD KELLY: Candy, you're in this gold competition.
Now, come on.
You better make these other two guys look sorry.
What are you seeing down there, Andy?
You seeing any gold?
[SCUBA BREATHING]
Oh, he's in serious mode right now, Andy.
That's what's going on.
He's quiet.
He won't talk now till he finds gold.
Oh [BLEEP] look at that gold.
BRAD KELLY: So that means there's
lots of gold going in the box.
What, are you singing down there, "We are the Champions,"
what's going on?
[EQUIPMENT RUNNING]
KRIS KELLY: Right now, Andy is crushing it.
I'm pretty sure I crushed it.
When Dave sees all that gold, a partnership is in the works.
Never count the Kellys out.
I mean, we're never going to give up.
I'm gonna ask Dave if he wants to give up on the bet
right now.
Regardless of the competition or not,
there seems to be a bit of gold in this whole area,
so we should do pretty good for the season.
[WATER RUNNING]
KRIS KELLY: Chris, probably the least amount of gold is you.
Let's do yours first.
You [BLEEP] up so bad, we didn't have to cheat to win.
No, no, no.
I still made it work.
NARRATOR: It's time for the competition weigh out.
But more important for the Kellys' future,
it's time for Captain Kris to try
to close a new deal with Dave.
OK, that's it.
Dry it, weigh it, see what we got.
I got the winning pan.
KRIS KELLY: So right now, I need to make a deal with Dave
for the rest of the season, or we're pretty screwed.
And I really need a fair deal from Dave.
50-50.
That's the only way we're going to have
enough money to keep going.
So I really think when he sees the gold we brought in,
he's going to jump at this chance.
[GOLD CLANKING]
We have each of our gold in separate pans,
and they're all dried, ready to go for the clean out.
I'll go first.
Here we go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Holy [BLEEP]
3.05.
Booyah baby.
KRIS KELLY (VOICEOVER): There's a good chance
I won this competition, a damn good chance.
OK, let's weigh Chris's.
Come on, Chris, here you go.
Here's one, two.
Look, I already got two ounces, here comes three ounces.
BRAD KELLY: That's two and a half ounces right there.
Come on, Chris, you're pretty close.
Come on, come on.
2.9.
CHRIS MCCULLY: Dammit.
So bam, I beat Chris.
So right now, today is going great.
Next is to see what Andy gets.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[TAPPING PAN]
This is for the big nugget.
I hope Andy got less.
Oh, look at that big picker that went in
Yeah, you missed that one
Yeah, I heard that too.
What the hell.
Andy cheated.
.
3 1/2.
3.6.
He's the winner.
KRIS KELLY: He beat me by half an ounce.
And he's got a nugget.
Where is it?
I've got to to give him the nugget.
Oh, no.
[BLEEP] almost pulled like four different times.
Andy and I both beat Chris McCully.
Now that Dave's seen all the gold we can bring him,
it's got to be obvious to Dave that he needs us.
Case closed.
BRAD KELLY: OK, we'll combine all the gold--
Let's combine it, and then let's give our split.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
KRIS KELLY: 9 1/2 ounces.
And that's what we got.
You've got to pay the man.
KRIS KELLY: 60-40.
OK, so the owner gets 5.7 ounces.
Woo-hoo.
KRIS KELLY: That's pretty good.
There you go, Dave.
Fill me up.
So, our cut on this competition is 3.8 ounces.
NARRATOR: With 3.8 ounces, the Kellys
pocket nearly eight grand.
And Dave?
Here's our cut, right there.
NARRATOR: He banks over $11,000 for the day.
Not too shabby, for never leaving the boat.
Andy won the competition, and Cripple River
is working out great.
That's all it counts.
So Dave made a lot of money off us.
He knows it.
So now it's time for the big deal-- it's a no-brainer.
You know what's there, and you know you're going
to be rich off that claim.
So you came out the real winner.
Thank you very much for letting us go there.
So what's the plan after this?
Do you think we can make a deal--
The plan is--
the plan's over.
I'm done, I got to get all your crap off my boat.
It's over.
Hmm.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
That's all I can say.
We're done.
Well that's [BLEEP] you know, especially after
we just got a lot of gold.
That's really [BLEEP] Wow, that was a kick to the teeth.
You know, we make the guy some gold,
and then he just kicks us to the curb.
We could work together as a team, you know.
But Dave's got other plans that I don't know about.
But usually, I get kissed before I get [BLEEP]
Hmm.
Can we uh-- can we go down there one more time,
and try to get one more shot of gold?
No, I got to haul it out.
I'm done
Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
KRIS KELLY: So once again, we have no way of getting gold.
The rug has been yanked from underneath us,
and the season will be over soon.
At this point, I have no idea what we're going to do.
