02x07 - Down to the Center of the Earth

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on
Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch.

-[man] This looks promising.
-[man] Yeah.

Cave opening has got to be
somewhere right in here.

-Look, bats, right there.
-[man] Oh, my God.

[man] See those? They're huge.

You know that bats
live in caves.

[man] This is kind of weird.

Never seen my compass
act like this.

Something magnetic
is affecting my compass.

It's worth taking a look up
here with your magnetometer.

-[Eric] There we go.
-[magnetometer beeping]

[Chad] And my dad's
got a rat hole rig

rolling down the mountain.

But Eric has more tests
he wants to run

to pinpoint the exact
drilling spot.

There's a lot of cooks
in the kitchen right now.

Duane is jumping the g*n.

If we're off just a few feet,

we're not gonna find it.

[dramatic music playing]

[Charlie]
I shut this deal down,

my bad on that deal.

So, I'm gonna let Eric
do his thing.

And I trust he'll put us
right on the money.

Our final step is to bring in
the Seismic survey.

That was a shocker, man.
These velocities...

That's right on the money
with air.

Air above water
in the cave, yeah.

-That's what we wanna hear.
-We're right on top of it.

You know exactly where to put
that rig and punch in.

[tense music playing]

[Duane]
There's some places on earth

that just don't seem right.

The land feels different,
it acts different.

And this here
is one of those places.

Some say the land is trying
to hold on to something.

[Charlie]
Don't go in the [bleep] cave.

-[Duane] Aztec treasure.
-[Chad] Holy [bleep]

-[Duane] Caverns of gold.
-[Chad] Look at this.

Mormon riches.

It'd be a million
dollars here.

[Duane] Some even say
there's a buried spaceship.

Hell yeah.

Me? I never cared much
about the stories.

I just care about
finding whatever

the hell is in the ground.

-Let's get out of here.
-[man] No!

[rock music playing]

[truck beeping]

[Duane] Is he positioned
over there or over there?

-[Chad speaking]
-Right in the corner there?

[Chad speaking]

We think we are right
on top of the cavern

right there that's dry.

So we brought the same guys

with the same rat hole rig out

and we're gonna poke
another hole

and get in there today.

Pressure is on, baby.
Pressure is on.

Here we go.

[rock music playing]

What they're doing
is the road's

tilted like that,
so we're gonna get a berm,

a dirt berm so we can level
out this machine

because when they get that
derrick all the way up,

there's so much leverage.

I mean, these things
could fall over, tip over.

Super dangerous.

[Duane speaking]

[rock music playing]

[truck beeping]

It's time to start drilling.
Come on, baby.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

[rat hole rig whirring]

I really hope that before
the sun goes down tonight,

we're gonna...
We'll be in that dry cavern.

[Chad] What we got, Eric?
What we got?

Well, just keep an...

If you could just keep
an eye on that.

Have them...
Don't have them go past

-10 feet.
-[Chad] Okay.

Because I wanna grab
a sample of that.

Just make a note
of any changes we see.

-[Chad] Ten feet?
-Yeah.

Based on the seismic survey,
we believe the entrance

to the cave will be at about


So we got a long of drilling
ahead of us.

[rock music playing]

[metal clanking]

[Chad] Looking good,
they're just now five-foot.

[Eric] Okay. Great.
Is it still pretty loose?

-[Chad] Yeah, yeah.
-[Eric] Okay.

[rock music playing]

Charlie boy,
we might need to unload

some of them teeth
there over here

and then let them back
that 24-inch auger in.

We've been out here
digging all day

and so far, you know,
we're just digging,

we haven't hit anything.

You know,
this rat hole is moving

way too damn slow
for my liking.

So I wanna switch
to an auger bit.

It's not as wide,
but it'll help us punch

through the bedrock faster.

It's gonna let us know that
we're in the right place.

Hey, I like those
rock teeth on there.

[rock music playing]

Eric, that's changing color
a little bit, isn't it?

[metal clanks]

Yeah. We're making
some hole now.

-How deep are we, Charlie?
-[Charlie] I see

-[Charlie speaking]
-23? Okay.

-[Eric] Feel how cool that is.
-It's cooler?

-Yeah.
-Oh, yeah.

-Getting down there, huh?
-[Eric] Yeah.

[tense music playing]

Charlie, how deep are we?

[Charlie]
Thirty one and a half.

[Eric] All right. Let's see
if it's got any calcite in it.

Let's see if it's calcareous.

What we're looking for
in the cave system

the type of rock we see

in all the big caves
are in limestone.

And limestone is essentially
old coral reef.

And then it becomes compacted
and turns into limestone.

Come on, baby.

-[Chad] Oh, yeah.
-[Eric] Oh, yeah.

-[whistles] Yeah.
-Man, that bubbled right...

Yeah. It's highly calcareous.

The changing ground
water level

could bring some of that
calcium carbonate

from the limestone up
into this sandstone.

What I'm hoping is we're close
to top of that cavern.

Great. Great. How deep are we?

Around 53 actually.

Well, he's gaining some ground
with that 24 inch bit.

So right now,
we're doing good.

We've dug a couple
of great big holes

with this rat hole
rig before.

This time it's different.

We know...we know for sure
that there's a dry cavern

about my 80 feet
right below us.

And that's huge.

So if we can drop
ourselves down

into a drop portion
of that cavern,

then we can walk around
and explore

way more than we ever
have before.

And hopefully get our hands on

whatever is hidden down there.

Aztec gold or who knows what.

[tense music playing]

It's the pale yellow,

-I think.
-Right.

[Duane] Oh, man.

-[Eric] Hey, Duane.
-[Duane] Hey.

[Eric] So, our last sample,
we're back out

of that calcareous zone.

[Duane]
So is it getting anything more

about, like
cave material or...

No. In fact, we came out
of the calcareous stuff

so it's more...

more terrestrial
if you want to call it that.

At 58 feet, it become pale
yellow to light gray.

It's been a long day.

Uh, I saw indications

that we may be getting close
to the cavern

but, uh, but then it appeared

that we weren't as close
as I originally thought.

I'm not worried yet though

because I checked
the coordinates

and it looks like
we're still on the mark.

Uh, you gotta understand,
in Geology,

when you're drilling,
you know,

it's not always predictable.

It's still drilling.

That's the good news.

You know, the dirt looks good
and then it doesn't look good.

You know, I don't know
what to make of this.

I'm no geologist.

But I'm sure counting on one

to make the right
calculations.

[tense music playing]

[Eric]
Duane, it doesn't look like

we're gonna punch
through tonight.

What do...what do you think?

[tense music playing]

This cavern is supposed
to be down there

about 80 feet.

Now we're about 65 feet
and I'm not even seeing

the right signs that we're
about to punch through.

[Duane] There's only so many
times I could spend 20 grand

on a hole that doesn't
work out.

You know,
I'm a patient man but, uh,

it's running awful thin
right now.

Let's do it all again
tomorrow, boys.

[man] Yes, sir.

[Chad] We still haven't got
into the cave yet.

We've been looking, uh,

for this entrance
for a long time.

I just hope for our sake
and my dad's sanity

that we hit that thing early,
early tomorrow.

[bleep]

[clock ticking]

[dramatic music playing]

[Chad] [bleep] should
be smooth sailing today.

Yesterday,
we got to 65 feet in depth.

But our soil samples
weren't looking like

we were close to a cave.

I mean, I know Duane
is worried

that we're digging
in the wrong spot again.

And I don't blame him
for being concerned.

He's got a lot of money
riding on this.

[tense music playing]

But our testing said
that we should hit that cave

at around 80 feet.

So we still have a ways to go.

[Chad] All right. Let's do it.

-[drill clanks]
-[drill whirring]

What's wrong?

[Duane]
Battery's dead or something.

[Chad] [bleep] dead.

[drill whirring]

This stuff always happen
around here?

-Always.
-[Duane] Quite a bit.

Seriously.
It does a lot of weird stuff,

-it really does.
-[drill whirring]

[Chad] Is it a bad battery?
Has it happened before?

[Duane] No.

[Chad] We're gonna have
to jump it somehow.

I got you.

[engine revs]

[truck beeping]

[Chad] Good.

[Duane] Battery's on my side.

-I'll spin it around.
-[Chad] Okay.

[drill whirring]

[Chad] All right, we're good.

[tense music playing]

[drill whirring]

[Charlie speaking]

[Duane speaking]

[engine turning over]

[engine revs]

[Duane] Yeah.
Here we go, here we go...

-[Chad] We're good!
-here we go, here we go.

Nice.

[Duane] We good?

It can get frustrating
dealing

with these little setbacks

but we always manage
to get through it.

It just takes patience.

You just gotta keep
working it,

and working it,
and working it, and...

it's just something
you can't give up on.

And we just have
to keep drilling.

[Eric] It's been
a long day yesterday.

[Chad] Oh [bleep]

I would like to pop in there
within the hour.

I know.

[drill whirring]

[Eric] We'll grab a sample
on this one.

-[Chad] Okay.
-[Eric] Probably close

-to 75 feet.
-[Chad] Yeah.

[drill whirring]

[Eric] Sounded like it was...
Got on hard stuff there.

-[man] Uh-huh.
-[Eric] Yeah. Yup.

[Chad] So the limestone,
it's hard.

[Eric] It's hard. It's tough.
Let's just grab

-a little sample.
-[man] Yup.

[Eric] Look at...
There's a little change there.

[Chad] Oh, look at that.

[drill clanking]

-Whoa! [indistinct chatter]
-[Eric] We're in the void!

-[Duane] Yup.
-[Eric] [laughs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Chad] Holy [bleep] man.

[Eric] It's dry.

-We got a dry opening.
-Right. Yup.

[Chad] Oh, this is gonna
change everything right here.

-Yeah.
-[Chad speaking]

He was through.

It was right to the top of it,

so all of our GPS coordinates,
our visual coordinates,

everything,
we were right on the money.

[Eric]
We gotta get down in there.

-[Chad] Hell yeah.
-[laughter]

[Eric] Here we go.

This is huge. It's huge.

And we have to be careful
on how we move forward.

Right now,
that's a very risky hole

because what we have
is we have loose material

right on top a hard pan.

But, uh,
we'll secure that hole

and then we'll get down there.

We're in. This is it.

-Yeah.
-This is it.

[Eric]
This calls for a celebration.

[Duane] Hell yeah.

[country music playing]

-[crickets chirping]
-[Duane] Here we go, fellas.

-Cheers.
-[man] All right. All right.

[Eric] Good job today, guys.

-This is it.
-Good job, guys.

Well, a lot...a lot of work
went into it,

-but it's all worth, though.
-[Chad] Hell yeah.

-Yeah.
-[Eric] It'll be worth it.

You know, fellas,
it's been a...

it's been a wild season,
no kidding.

I mean, I appreciate
everything you guys did, too,

you know, I'm not just bull
[bleep] you on that.

This is...
Uh, it's been a challenge

and that's what makes
it so fun,

-it's a damn journey.
-[Chad] Yeah.

[Duane] Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.

Yeah.

Crazy world out here,
I'll tell you that much.

-[chuckling]
-They're happy as hell,

I am happy, but I'd never
wanna celebrate too early

because there's still
a long ways to go.

-Yeah, that would be nice.
-Let's go.

-Load up, fellas.
-Let's check it out.

Let's do this deal.

So tomorrow, we're gonna come
up with a good plan

to get us down into that hole,

find whatever is hidden
in there.

Hell, by the end of the week,
we might be billionaires.

-Hurry up, Charlie.
-[Charlie grunts]

[car engine humming]

[Duane] Here we go.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Eric grunts]

[suspenseful music playing]

That's a deep hole.

-[Duane] Hey, gents.
-[Eric] Hey, Duane.

We know there's a cavity
down there,

so what we need to do is, uh,

I'll bring the tractor in

and slat in this hole
around here.

Get it like a good platform,

set some boards around
this deal,

and bring the cage in.

[tractor beeping]

[Duane] It's time to find out
what we got down there.

-Can we take them all at once?
-One at a time, you think?

-Up here.
-One a time.

[suspenseful music playing]

That's a long ways
down there, man.

Long ways.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Chad] This should be good
right in the middle.

-[Eric] Yeah.
-All right. Perfect.

I think we're good, Duane.

This has been a long
time coming,

but we can't jump
into this dry entrance

just because it's there.

That's how prospectors
and explorers

get themselves k*lled.

So we're gonna send a camera
down the hole

and try to get a glimpse
of that cavern.

[tractor engine humming]

We also wanna measure

the radiation level
down there.

Once we collect all this
information,

we'll know how to explore it.

[suspenseful music playing]

All right. So I figure
when we get to the cavern,

we can have it pointing
out so we can see it.

-Okay.
-See exactly what we got.

That's the light?

Oh, nice. Nice.

It's got a magnet
on it, too.

Oh, cool.

And then the light,
we can do...

The light,
we could do like this.

Yeah. Is this taking good?

All right. We are rolling.

-Yeah, we're rolling.
-[Chad] Ready to go down?

Go for it, man.
Take the controls.

-All right, man.
-So we just lower down

and check the footage
when we get back.

Yeah. Sounds good.

[Chad]
We should see slack in it

whenever it's at the bottom
anyway.

[Eric] Yeah, yup.

-[machine whirring]
-[Eric] Oh, it's looking good.

[Chad]
Oh, it's light down now. Yeah.

That's going perfectly
down there.

[machine whirring]

[suspenseful music playing]

-[Chad] Oh, okay.
-We're at the bottom

-right here.
-Nice.

[Chad] So I should bring it
back up.

[Eric] Yup. It's looking good.

-There it is. There it is.
-[Chad] Oh, yeah.

[suspenseful music playing]

Good.

-Take a look, Duane.
-All right.

-What's it looking like?
-Got it to the bottom.

[Chad] Damn, that's a long
ways down there.

[Eric] Yeah, it is.

-Oh, you can see it perfectly.
-Yeah.

That top section
of the field there.

-Uh-huh.
-Mmm-hmm. And now,

-it's formational.
-[Chad] There it is. Yeah.

[Eric] There's the bedding
planes in there.

[Chad] Yeah, exactly.

-[Eric] Nice.
-Going down, it's packed up.

[Eric] There it is.
There's the bottom.

-[Chad] There's the bottom.
-[Eric] There's a [bleep] hole

-right there.
-[Chad] Holy [bleep]

[Eric] It looks man-made,

like it was dug out by hand
or something, right?

[Chad] Yeah, look at the arch.

That could actually
be a tunnel

instead of a natural
formation.

-Yeah.
-Hell, yeah.

There is like a long tunnel
going down...

going down there
somewhere, man.

-Yes!
-There it is!

-Right there.
-That's our cave.

[Eric] Yeah!

What do we need to do to check
this bottom of the hole out?

Yeah, we don't wanna go
down there

until we check it
with a Geiger counter.

Okay.

We initially targeted
this area

because we saw
a radiation seep

coming from the ground.

There's a spike.

Obviously, radiation
is dangerous at high levels,

less dangerous
at low levels.

But we know it's down there.

So we have to make a call
just how safe it is

before we send people down
into that cavern.

We'll take readings
for about an hour.

-[Duane] Okay.
-And that will give us

an average reading

of radiation counts
down there.

That'll tell us if it's safe
or not to go down there.

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Duane] So we'll know
in an hour how hot it is?

[Eric] Yup.

-[Chad] Let's try it. Okay.
-[Eric] Yup.

Move it to the bottom,
bring it up a foot,

and then wait an hour.

[machine whirring]

[Eric] That's a long ways
down there.

[Chad] I know, man.

-I just... It's right there.
-[Eric] All right.

-Yeah.
-Good.

Yeah. Yeah.
So why do we actually need

an hour down there?

I mean, you can take
instantaneous

-readings from that.
-Yeah.

But with radiation, sometimes

you get these sort of waves.

And so the longer
you leave it down there,

the more accurate it is.

We've done a lot of high risk
work in our lives.

We have to take this
very seriously.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Eric] Yeah, it's been just
about an hour.

[machine whirring]

Yeah, there it is.

[machine whirring]

Uh, oh, boy.

Um, it's not such
good news, boys.

-It's high?
-Yeah, it's high.

[bleep] It's above limits
that are safe.

Um... [bleep]

So the radiation levels
are coming in between



It basically means
you could start vomiting

and hemorrhaging
pretty quickly.

And obviously, have pretty
serious long-term problems.

We can't safely go down there

without personal
protective gear.

You're saying we could
still go down, though, huh?

We can if we wear
the right gear.

These numbers are...
They are too high...

To go down
without protection basically.

Let's do a little homework
on this one.

I agree. Yeah.
Let's be careful about it.

So the next step is, um,

we'll go back
and think about this,

and we'll figure out
what methods to use

to enable us
to get down there safely

and get back out safely.

Let's get this probe off
and we'll move out.

All right, fellas.

[suspenseful music playing]

[crickets chirping]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Duane] This is gonna be
a tough gig.

[suspenseful music playing]

We got to drop down
into 80-foot hole.

[suspenseful music playing]

And now, you're coming up
with radioactivity.

[suspenseful music playing]

This is not a fun game here.

So Eric, tell us
what we're gonna have to do
on this one.

Well, I mean,
I guess the greatest issue

is the, uh,
the boring caving in on us.

And so Duane,
I see you've got some, uh,

some casing out there,
some conduits, and...

we'll set that in there
and that will at least

allow us to get down in there
and not have it cave in.

Yeah, we can case the hole.

We know...
we know how to do that.

In addition to all the other
problems we may face,

we detected radiation
in the bottom of this hole

and so to, um,
mitigate that hazard,

we're gonna need to suit up.

It's called Level A suits,

they're fully encapsulated
plastic suits

with supplied air.

We'll be protected
from radiation,

carbon monoxide,
hydrogen sulfide gas,

which will k*ll you
within minutes.

The problem
with these suits are

they're very hard to work in.

It's gonna be tough.
It may be very hot.

Heat exhaustion
could be an issue.

There's a lot of things
that could go wrong.

But, um,

obviously,
it's worth the risk.

But we're gonna need
supplied air

and, uh, hoses
going into the suits.

Chad, what do you think
about the air hoses?

I mean, if we're already
going 80-foot deep,

that's 80-foot
right there at least.

So then, another, I mean,
say, 200-foot a person.

Yeah, I think
since we're going in,

let's go as far as we can...

-[Chad] Yeah.
-Once we're in there.

Two hundred-foot per person,

I mean, that could get
tangled up easy, though.

-Yeah.
-So if we do get a kink,

it would be hard to find it,

so it's just another risk.

Biggest problem we got
is our supply of air.

We need to be able
to be down there

at least 20 minutes

and you got to understand,
it's gonna take

at least 10 minutes
for the last out.

If we can only pull you out
as fast as the winch

-will pull you up.
-[Duane] Yeah.

-[Jamie] A lot of danger.
-Oh, well, we're this close,

we have to get in there
no matter what, that's it.

The fortune favors
the brave, right?

Here's what we're gonna
have to do, fellas.

We're gonna get the hoist
set up over the hole

and we'll be in hazmat suits

with 200-foot oxygen lines
running through us.

And we'll lower three of us
down into the cavern.

[rock music playing]

So is it gonna...
Who's it gonna be?

-I'm going.
-I'm in.

I'm in.

Jamie and Charlie,
you'll be on top.

-Yeah, absolutely.
-[Charlie] Yeah.

So Charlie and Jamie
is gonna man the compressors,

make sure
we have plenty of air.

We'll explore for 10 minutes

and then we'll extract.

[suspenseful music playing]

[crickets chirping]

Jamie, Charlie,

I hate to say it
but you know well

our lives are in your hands.

If you're game, let's go.
But if you're not, tell us.

You got to be comfortable
with this, we can't freeze up.

We'll do it.

We don't panic,
so we'll be all right.

Well, let's get
some sleep, fellas.

And we'll hit it hard
tomorrow morning.

Ten four.

[crickets chirping]

[Duane] Pressure's on.

[country music playing]

Brand new.
Shouldn't have any problems
with any of them.

I'm real excited about
getting into this cavern,

but there's a lot of,
uh, dangers

that go along with it.

Me and Eric have been
testing the, uh,
the harnesses out,

making sure
the quality is good.

They're brand new,
there's no rips or tears.

We need to eliminate

all the problems
that could happen upfront

because this is...
this is risky, no doubt.

But these look pretty good.

Good anchor point here.

Once we start
getting into that cave,

things can change like that.

We've got some, uh,
belaying devices,

we've got some slings
and things like that.

[Chad] Right.

There's a good chance
we might get some

radionuclides down there.

[Chad] We have all
our monitors here or...

I believe so.
We'll have to talk

-to your dad about that.
-Yeah.

[engine revving]

-[Eric] Hey, Duane.
-[Duane] Hey.

-You got our suits, huh?
-Yeah.

[Eric] There they are, huh?

-These are them?
-Yeah.

Once we get down there,
we've got potential hazards

such as, uh, carbon monoxide,
hydrogen sulfide gas,

which will k*ll you
within minutes.

Radioactivity down there.

And so what
we're doing here is

we're putting together
a plan to sort of mitigate

all those hazards
as much as possible.

Guys, I got some bad news.

Charlie boy is real sick.

I just dropped him off
to the doctor.

We're just gonna have
to move forward without him.

Go back to work.

It's all we can do.

Charlie not being
with us right now,

I mean, it kind of sucks
because he's been with us

all the way until now.

But we don't wanna wait.

I mean, we can't wait anymore

because the hole is just
sitting there wide open

and we don't want
whoever is watching us

to beat us to the punch
and see what's
down there first.

I mean, we've come so far,
uh, it's too risky to wait.

We have to get in there now.

[suspenseful music playing]

So Duane,
we've got some harnesses here.

-Wow.
-Do they look
pretty good to you?

They're gonna go around
that suit?

Well, we'll have to check it.

This is the Level A
is what they call hazmat.

These are good.
But they present

a big, um,
hazard in themselves

because we're gonna be limited
as far as our mobility goes.

This deal here, it sucks.

Climbing in this [bleep]
is gonna be kind of hard.

They look really tough.

The suit itself is designed
to protect you from anything

from biological agents
to radionuclides.

We'll also have
the meters on us

-so that'll tell us
if there's a lack of oxygen.
-Yeah, yeah.

It'll tell us if there's H2S,
it's a deadly gas,

and it'll tell us
if there's carbon monoxide.

We never know
what we're gonna hit

until we get in there
and start getting in.

Any time you go
exploring underground,

it's an extremely
dangerous endeavor.

So there could be a cave in,
you can get lost or injured.

You know, a lot of people
who go underground

don't come back
just for those reasons.

Obviously, we're dealing
with high levels
of radiation.

And it's not just that,

there's a chance
that this cave system

could be part of an old mine.

One of the major
causes of death
in the mining industry

are pockets of gas
that are trapped underground.

You can't see them,
we can't smell them,

and something like, uh,

one breath
of hydrogen sulfide,

you're dead,
as simple as that.

Get your minds
around this deal, fellas,

'cause, um,
there are so many things

that can go wrong.

Somebody panics down below,
we're all dead.

[rock music playing]

[Duane] See what we got
going on here.

It's nothing that I wanna do,
I'll tell you that dang much.

Right there lock
is kind of [bleep]

this is gonna be a nightmare.

Worst thing
about this deal is

we have three
different scenarios

just add
to the claustrophobia.

One, just putting your head
underneath this deal

like a dadgum astronaut.

And then you got to think
about the air coming in,

and dropping down
into that cave.

At least,
it multiplies the problem

for anybody that ever had
claustrophobia.

You know what
we're talking about here.

[clear throats] This is,

uh, something you got
to get your mind around. Okay.

Oh [bleep]

All right.

Hmm.

Do you guys see it folded up?

This is nothing
that I wanna do.

I'll tell you that damn much.

Oh, man.

It sure makes the working
conditions a little tough.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Duane] Ha! Yeah.

Back in the '80s,

I was doing some work
in a refinery and, uh,

we'd have to get in vessels
and things like that.

I got a little claustrophobic.

The biggest problem is,

you just don't know who
is gonna get claustrophobic

down there in those holes.

[bleep] people can say
that they're ready but, uh,

they never know.

Okay.

[bleep]

Yeah, this is, uh,

this is something
you just don't really

wanna do this every day.

I can assure you of that.

Going down the hole,
there are so many things
that can go wrong.

So we need to have
a good solid plan.

[tense music playing]

Because if you're not ready
for just about anything,

you're dead.

[man 1] Hey, sorry, Duane.
Hey, cut the wheelers.

-[man 2] Hey, guys.
-Hey, we're sh**ting

an OTF here.

[man 2] Yeah.
You're gonna wanna see this.

Something freaky
happened, um...

-[Duane] What?
-Duane, you got to see.

I was sh**ting
B-roll down at the gate.

Look.

There's three cars on a row.

[bleep]

[Duane] Hey.
There you go again.

[man 2] But watch... watch
what they're about to do.

[Duane] Oh, spotlights?

What? Out of the grass?

[man 2] Yeah.

-All the way out.
-[bleep]

[Duane] Let's go.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Chad] Hang on.

Look like they just keep
on coming at us.

What the [bleep]

I don't know what's going on.

I know Duane's in a hurry
to get there.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Chad] There they are
right there.

What the [bleep]

They're looking at something.

[tense music playing]

[cameraman] Chad's down.
What's going on?

It's those [bleep]
three cars right there.

Yeah.

You recognize
any of those vehicles?

[cameraman] No.

Uh,

a couple strangers
in the gate.

Reckon they know
they're trespassing?

[Chad] I don't see
any movement at all.

They're up to something.

[Chad] Look. Look at this,
he's moving.

He's coming forward.

Hold on, guys.

Pulling some bull [bleep]
right here.

[Chad]
They try to intimidate us.

[tense music playing]

What the [bleep]

What the [bleep]
What do you want?

Ah, there we go.

That's a game changer
right there.

[Chad] They're sending
a message, guys.

[Duane] Maybe we need
to send them one.

[Chad] Hey, get those g*ns.

[Duane] This is gonna be known
as the modern day O.K. Corral.

[tense music playing]

[Duane] Damn, fellas,
this might get

a little interesting.

[Chad] What the [bleep]
are they doing here?

If we split up, maybe two
go one way and two the other?

No. No. No.

Better stay together
on this one.

[Chad] Okay.

[tense music playing]

Looks like
they're leaving, fellas.

[Chad] They're leaving.

They're standing down.

[Chad] Let's get
their license plate.

-[Duane]
There ain't no plates.
-[Chad] No plates.

-No plates at all.
-[cameraman] No plates.

[Duane] I'll be darned.

What? I don't know.

[Duane] It's pretty ballsy.

Duane, I know he did...

he did what I thought
he was gonna do,

just stand them off.

But...

I'm just, uh, I'm at...

I'm at a loss right now.

Well, here we're shorthanded,
you know that.

Well, let's lock this
mission now.

Let's lock the gates,
all right?

-Yeah.
-[Duane] You know?

-All right.
-All right.

[bleep]

[Duane] We've come
a long way and we'll, uh,

we'll secure the gates,

but tomorrow, we're going in.

And that's just
what we're gonna do.

Gets your blood running,
don't it?

[engine revving]

[tense music playing]

I couldn't sleep
for [bleep] last night, man.

[bleep] dammit.

[bleep]

Whoever has been watching us
is stepping things up

and getting more aggressive,
obviously.

So today is the day
to finish up the work.

What the [bleep]
the door is open.

What the [bleep]

did someone leave
the door open?

Someone [bleep] broke in here.

What the [bleep]

see that [bleep]
someone's been in here.

Hey, Dad, are you around?

Look at this [bleep]

[narrator]
On the season finale

of Mystery
at Blind Frog Ranch.

-[Duane]
Where are the ore samples?
-[bleep] right here.

These are my files.
Everything that I got.

-That's it.
-That's hell of a hole,
fellas.

Carbon monoxide, H2S,
low oxygen,

if any of those items go off,

we have to extract ourselves.

Wow.

We are damn sure
not the only son of a b*tches

that's been in here.

Extract. Let's get out.

Hold on, guys.

-[Chad] Bring us up.
-Go. Go, go right now,

let's get them out of there.

[Charlie] Okay. I'm on. Go.

Pull him up. Pull him up.

We got to get Duane.

[Chad] Hold on.

Our Father.

Go get Duane.

Who art in heaven.

[tense music playing]

[Duane] Hallowed be Thy name.
