00:01Oh!

00:02Oh!

00:03Ha!

00:04Tonight on Moonshiners...

00:05What's that, Dale?

00:06That gets my women for me.

00:07It looks like a tickle.

00:08I'm owing some people some money.

00:09Can you help me?

00:10I'm afraid that this project is doomed.

00:11We're behind schedule, as always.

00:12That's $36 a gallon, man.

00:13You hear that?

00:14A firetruck.

00:15Damn it.

00:16Oh!

00:17Oh!

00:18Oh!

00:19Oh!

00:20Oh!

00:21Oh!

00:22Oh!

00:23Oh!

00:24Oh!

00:25Oh!

00:26Oh!

00:27Oh!

00:28Oh!

00:29We're past the point of no return.

00:30I hope this is it.

00:31Me, too.

00:32We just know they're going to come up with a piece of car.

00:33Right there.

00:34Got her.

00:35Run, run, run.

00:36Fire!

00:37Moonshine is a part of our streets.

00:49Almost like a myth.

00:51I'm America's most wanted moonshiner.

00:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:56That's not a good feeling.

00:57They want it.

00:58Not at all.

01:01I live on the edge of anarchy.

01:03Police!

01:04On the ground!

01:05It's very hard to catch moonshiners.

01:07Let's get out.

01:08They're very smart.

01:11There can only be one chief.

01:12I'm wondering if we're going to pull this thing off.

01:14Uh-oh.

01:16Ah.

01:18Golly, that's good.

01:22We could just fly the whole world with moonshine

01:24and everybody would be happy.

01:27If you really love your country,

01:29you're going to have to love moonshine.

01:31Ah!

01:32Ah!

01:33Ah!

01:34Ah!

01:35Contact.

01:36That's a very big one.

01:38As the end of moonshine is in the process,

01:41rookie shiners Josh and Bill are still

01:44desperately trying to brew their first successful batch

01:46of corn whiskey.

01:48So far, luck has not been on their side.

01:52That's disgusting.

01:53Watch out, Josh.

01:55Oh, my god.

01:56This is a major catastrophe.

01:58But if they can right the ship, prove they have what it takes,

02:01they'll join the proud few who can call themselves

02:04moonshiners.

02:07We're broke as a joke.

02:08We don't have any more time to waste.

02:11I can feel her cooking.

02:13With this rigged up, man, we're going

02:14to be dealing with that pressurized explosive gas

02:17around them open flames.

02:19Bill, it don't matter now.

02:20We're past the point of no return.

02:22Let's get it done or don't get it done.

02:32If something goes wrong here, we'll be blowing sky high.

02:39Sound like a damn train, man.

02:41Look, look, look.

02:46Now is the moment of truth.

02:48Failure means their season is over.

03:03Bill, we got liquor.

03:05Catch it, catch it, catch it.

03:07It's working.

03:10Bill, that is so beautiful.

03:14Bullseye.

03:15She's clear as a bell.

03:17Man.

03:30Right there.

03:32Woo!

03:33For a status it is, that has got

03:35some killer taste to it.

03:37That's got a burn, man, but that flavor?

03:39Woo!

03:40Man.

03:44Finally, good liquor, man.

03:47After two years of blood, sweat, and tears,

03:50Josh and Bill finally have a brew they can be proud of.

03:53I'll put that next to damn anything.

04:02200 kilometers to the northeast, deep in the Great Smoky

04:06Mountains, the warm summer nights will soon turn cool.

04:10And long days will shorten, signaling

04:12the end to moonshine season.

04:18Hardly got enough power for that driveway here.

04:22Go, Tom.

04:24Go, Jeff.

04:25But before that happens, Jeff, Mark, and Jim Tom

04:28have hatched a plan to make a final epic run using

04:31three stills at once.

04:33There's more orders coming in than a feller

04:35can fill with two stills.

04:37He needs a third one.

04:38How big a still you want to build this time?

04:41Well, it won't take a great big whopper.

04:44That's the arm of my still.

04:46I'll have to make another one.

04:47Well, I've got a piece here that I believe it's, uh.

04:50Close to the size of this?

04:51Yeah.

04:52Legendary still builder Jim Tom didn't waste

04:55any time getting to work.

04:57Well, if I'll solder him up here.

04:59I carry my equipment with me.

05:01I learned 10 years ago, if you go to your still,

05:04you'd better take your blowtorch and your solder

05:06and some ribbets.

05:13What's that, Jim?

05:14That gets my whammy for me.

05:17This is the handiest thing that's ever been made.

05:19Right here, you pull teeth with them or just anything.

05:22If you got any that's loose, well, I'm

05:25going to show you how they work.

05:26I put paper glue on mine for it to stay tight.

05:29I walked in the drugstore last year, and I asked this waitress,

05:32I said, do you all carry mentally ill glue?

05:37She said, never heard of it.

05:39I said, crazy glue.

05:40Oh, what's she saying?

05:42Ha!

05:48I like you got a fire going.

05:50I've got it going.

05:51It's hot.

05:55Got it.

05:56As long as you get her stomped up, you got it.

06:02OK.

06:03Looking good, eh?

06:05Now, with the last piece of the puzzle in place,

06:08they're ready to set up their third and final still,

06:11then prepare for a huge end of season run.

06:14Perfect, perfect.

06:15Yeah.

06:17Ow.

06:18I don't trust steps.

06:21Josh and Bill head to Josh's barn

06:23to bottle their first batch of the season.

06:25All right.

06:26Bill, we got liquor.

06:28After two long years of hard work and setbacks,

06:31they finally made shine worth drinking.

06:34Finally.

06:37It's time for pay dirt.

06:38Now it's time to recoup their financial loss by bottling

06:41and selling their shine.

06:43You have to tell me when to stop, because I can't see it.

06:46Keep on, keep on, keep on.

06:47It's good right there.

06:49That ain't a cork.

06:50Yes, it is.

06:51You're ripping people off now, Russ.

06:52Ho, ho, ho, ho, whoa, whoa, whoa.

06:54That was too much on that one.

06:55That was.

06:56Went in the damn system on this or something.

07:01I just wish we had more.

07:03I was expecting a lot more liquor than this

07:05out of our first run, man.

07:06They've decided to mix their shine with fruit

07:09to give them more jars to sell.

07:11Stretch our liquor dollar with some fruit.

07:13But a larger issue looms.

07:15These rookies haven't even thought about how

07:17they'll sell this much shine.

07:22We're sitting on 30 gallons of liquor.

07:25I don't know what to do with 30 gallons of liquor.

07:27I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get this going

07:29and make a few dollars back.

07:31I think if we go stand slinging this stuff around town,

07:33we're going to get locked up, man.

07:35We just can't be selling this to anybody, man.

07:36I mean, I don't want to damn get arrested on our first run

07:39for damn selling it to the wrong person.

07:41I think you're sweating too much.

07:43I think, I think that we just need to stash it somewhere.

07:47Sell it to people we trust.

07:48Really trust, people we've known all our lives.

07:51Know what I mean?

07:53Until they are able to acquire buyers,

07:55Josh and Bill must stash their shine in a secret location.

07:59It's a risky move.

08:05We're going to check the garden today on a subject

08:09that I've had some information on.

08:10And we're going to talk to the person here at this location

08:14and see if this individual's been buying any corn here.

08:19Deputy Sheriff Chuck is hitting the ground running.

08:22He knows the end of Moonshine Season

08:24is just around the corner.

08:26And if he's going to make a big bust, he needs to make it soon.

08:29On a tip from one of his many CIs,

08:32he learned that Moonshiners were brewing and transporting shine

08:35on a nearby mountain lake.

08:38The Moonshiners' boat.

08:40Chuck thought he was nearing his target.

08:42But then suddenly, his investigation went cold.

08:46Hey, how are you?

08:48With time running out, Chuck is working the case

08:51from the inside out.

08:52He begins his investigation at the feed supply store,

08:56the kind of place Moonshiners come

08:57to purchase large quantities of corn for a final season run.

09:02I'm checking on a gray Chevrolet truck, a Silverado,

09:07with a raised suspension on it.

09:09Yeah, I know him.

09:10Have you noted him buying any corn or grains

09:13of any kind up here?

09:14He usually gets about two 50-pound sacks.

09:18Bye.

09:20Armed with new information, Chuck is back on the move.

09:29A little drinking done last night.

09:32Outlaw bootlegger Don Wood has been crisscrossing the country,

09:36delivering shine all along the way.

09:39But after his last drop-off, Don hits an unexpected problem.

09:43It's about 1030 at night, and we had our first breakdown.

09:49The part he needs is crucial.

09:51To get it and complete his run, he'll

09:53need to barter his moonshine with a friend.

09:57So he's borrowed a bike and headed out

09:59to Utah to make an exchange.

10:02This is no ordinary moonshine run.

10:05Don's big client has asked for a very special delivery,

10:09a fresh batch of shine for his daughter's wedding

10:12in the high mountains of Colorado.

10:15It's not looking good.

10:17The part he needs is pricey and could cost him the profit

10:20from his bootlegging run, and Don is nowhere

10:22close to where he needs to be.

10:29Wink, I finally made it.

10:30Hey, man.

10:31Brought you a present.

10:33Straight from the hill.

10:35Try that, my friend.

10:42What do you got here?

10:43Oh, that's a little bit of mine.

10:45Huh.

10:49That's got a little hot to it.

10:51A little different.

10:52What'd you put in that?

10:53Just a little bit of Tabasco to take the little edge off of it.

10:55You know what I mean?

10:56That's good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

11:01After a successful exchange, Don hits the road

11:04with the new part in hand.

11:06Now it's a race against the clock.

11:08Any more delays, and he won't make it to the wedding on time.

11:13Back in Kentucky, Tim is on a hunt of his own.

11:17There's a lost moonshine treasure

11:19worth about $60,000 tax-free bucks

11:22at the bottom of Lake Barkley.

11:24We're looking for a 52 Chevrolet,

11:26and the story goes it's got 200 gallons of moonshine in it.

11:30Spencer's kind of excited about it.

11:31I'm excited about it, and I think

11:33we're going to find this thing.

11:36See, I'm a little...

11:37Getting a little bit shaken.

11:38A little shaken.

11:40We just know there's something down there.

11:43If there's one man who's going to find it, that man is Tim.

11:48Using high-tech sonar, Tim and his team

11:50have zeroed in on three potential targets.

11:53Rough dimensions are about right.

11:55All right, so right there is where

11:56we need to put our diver in.

11:58There have been eight presidents in the White House

12:01since this moonshine went missing.

12:03It's a long shot.

12:06It's a long shot.

12:15Now comes the hard part for us, Tim, to wait.

12:19Tim's team of rescue divers will descend 55 feet

12:22into the chilly waters of Lake Barkley

12:25to search for the sunken treasure.

12:29Well, you got to look at that.

12:31Got to go 50 feet down and 50 feet back.

12:33That's 100 feet right there.

12:34Visibility is even worse than expected.

12:37The divers are struggling to find their bearings.

12:41If the situation doesn't improve,

12:43they may have to abort, and Tim will lose out.

12:53Coming up.

12:54We stuck there.

12:55We can't do anything.

12:56We just wait.

12:59That's a big yellowjacket's nest.

13:01I got stung 154 times.

13:04Oh!

13:14Tim has called in the cavalry for the ultimate underwater

13:18moonshine mission.

13:22A lot of hoping and wishing going on now.

13:24Yeah.

13:25A lot of wishing, a lot of hoping.

13:27He's searching for a 52 Chevy filled with shine.

13:30But the cold, dark waters are proving

13:32difficult for Tim and his team.

13:37We stuck there.

13:38We on top.

13:39We can't do anything.

13:39We're just waiting.

13:41We're looking at the bubbles coming up.

13:46We just know they're going to come up

13:48with a piece of this car, something proof

13:50that we found something.

13:52Do I got no hub caps, no moonshine jugs?

13:58He found a tree.

13:59Nothing else.

14:00That's all we found in a lot of mud.

14:02OK.

14:04All right, so we'll pull the anchor back up

14:05and go second spot.

14:07All right.

14:09I mean, it's like, God.

14:11So we're going to have to regroup.

14:13All right.

14:14and go second spot.

14:16All right.

14:18I mean, it's like, God!

14:20So we're going to have to regroup and,

14:22you know, move on to Edinburgh.

14:24I'm just not going to give up on it.

14:30After their first

14:32successful run in two years,

14:34Josh, Bill and CutiePie are

14:36riding high. But this isn't only

14:38about the shine, it's also about

14:40completing their mentor Barney's dream

14:42of building an underground still site.

14:44We're trying to come back

14:46down here and get our mould taken for us.

14:48We started the project with Barney

14:50and even though the mould kind of ran us out,

14:52we really can't abandon it.

14:54We owe that to him, but we've got a bunch of catching up

14:56to do. We're behind schedule

14:58as always. It's been one

15:00obstacle after another.

15:02Oh, God!

15:04I can't believe

15:06I just f***ing did that!

15:08Got mould growing everywhere.

15:10After discovering their still site was infested

15:12with a deadly black mould,

15:14Josh soaked the walls with a noxious

15:16chemical compound in the hopes

15:18of killing it.

15:20Now is the moment of truth.

15:26It don't smell as bad.

15:28Nah, it smelled better.

15:34God dog! Still got black

15:36mould growing in here.

15:40I'm afraid that this project

15:42is doomed.

15:44We just got to trade it again.

15:46That's f***ing $36 a gallon, man.

15:48I think we need to cut a hole in the roof

15:50right there. You can put a fan

15:52on there where it'll pull air through there.

15:54The other fan on the other side will create a draw

15:56like a chimney works and it'll have constant

15:58fresh air flowing through here no matter what.

16:00Cutting a hole in the roof, we ain't doing nothing but

16:02just inviting problems to get more water in here.

16:04If it floods out, then I'll deal with it.

16:06Alright.

16:12Their first crew

16:14was a success, but now

16:16Mike and Tweedy are running out of time.

16:18To make the thousands of dollars they

16:20ate for Mike's brother Darren,

16:22they're going to roll the dice and take a huge

16:24gamble on one massive

16:26final run.

16:28Got the house burnt the other day.

16:30I know the people are probably

16:32going to be gone for a while.

16:34If we can get in doors, a little bit will help.

16:36Look at the woods over here.

16:40For a run this size,

16:42Mike DeSoste need more cover.

16:44He knows of an empty barn near

16:46a burned down house that'll be a great location.

16:48But before they can get started,

16:50they'll need the key ingredient

16:52for moonshine, fresh water.

16:54These crafty

16:56shiners are not without a plan.

16:58They will pull water from the plumbing of the

17:00burned house back to the barn where they'll

17:02be brewing. There's no guarantee

17:04this trick will work,

17:06but they don't have a choice.

17:08Extra money, extra time.

17:12It won't take long once we get the water down here.

17:26I think we got water.

17:28We can do our job now.

17:32Good and bitter.

17:34Ain't ruined.

17:36Good deal.

17:38The lady we sold to says she would be willing

17:40to buy all we could get her this time,

17:42so we're going to step it up

17:44and try to get maybe a couple hundred gallons

17:46if we can get that much out of what we got here.

17:48A monster still will require

17:50to brew that amount of shine,

17:52and lucky for them, they have the perfect run.

17:54I have procured

17:56another bigger steel,

17:58120-gallon steel.

18:00That'll really help us make a lot more

18:02in one run.

18:04Oh, that's a good sign.

18:06There you go.

18:14With a third still complete,

18:16Jeff, Mark, and Jim Tom head back to the woods

18:18to prepare for their season-ending run.

18:22I'm hiring you to help me a little here today, Jeff.

18:24Okay.

18:26Because I'm two times as old as you are.

18:28I've been around these woods

18:30from any of a frosty morning.

18:32Larry Shiner, Jim Tom,

18:34will do the honors and operate the third still

18:36during the big run.

18:38He's no stranger to these woods,

18:40but it's been a while since this old-timer's

18:42been back at the helm,

18:44so they want everything to be perfect.

18:48Mark, it looks like you may have made a little moonshine before.

18:50I need some more blocks here somewhere.

18:54Oh, that's in good shape.

18:58Uh, Mark.

19:00Right there. Yaller, Jack.

19:02Yaller. Run.

19:04Run, run, run, boy.

19:06Get away from there.

19:08Turn it back now.

19:10Coming up...

19:12Ain't nothing easy about running liquor.

19:14That's a...hole.

19:16You hear that? Fire truck.

19:18He called it. He called it.

19:28Yaller. Run.

19:30Yaller, Jack.

19:32Run, run, run, boy.

19:34Get away from there.

19:36Jeff, Mark, and Jim Tom

19:38have accidentally stirred up an angry swarm

19:40of yellowjackets while setting up

19:42their third still site.

19:44That's a big yellowjacket's nest.

19:46I hate to admit that I'm afraid of something

19:48that little, but I am.

19:50Yeah, I've been stung a lot of times.

19:52You get a bee nest, you gotta run like a turkey

19:54to get away from it.

19:56Ain't getting into the lab.

19:58No, me either.

20:00They're calming down a little now.

20:02Yeah, but they're just backing up, waiting.

20:04They're waiting for another move.

20:06It's a strong nest.

20:08Oh, there's a thousand of them things.

20:10I got stung 154 times

20:12with a honeybee.

20:14Maggie picked 154 stingers out of me

20:16and she picked them all night.

20:18Oh!

20:20Ha-ha!

20:22But not all itchy.

20:24I mean, we'll spray them or gas them or something.

20:26When it gets close to dark, we'll bring us a gallon

20:28or half a gallon of gas and pour it in there

20:30and that'll kill them. That is four o'clock.

20:32But you can't do that now.

20:34Real strong nest, so they can only run us off

20:36for right now.

20:38We're gonna come back later on this evening

20:40and either spray them or pour a little gas on them

20:42and kill them, and then we'll run a run.

20:44It's just the life of being a moonshiner.

20:48Nearby in North Carolina,

20:50a recent tip-off

20:52about someone buying large quantities

20:54of sugar and corn

20:56has Deputy Sheriff Chuck in active pursuit.

21:02We're going to meet a C.I. now,

21:04just out of town here.

21:06I hope it's enough information

21:08where maybe we can get an arrest out of him.

21:12One good tip usually leads to another.

21:14If the C.I. can provide more information,

21:16Chuck will be one step closer

21:18to a big bust

21:20before the end of the moonshine season.

21:50A fresh lead about a black S.U.V.

21:52puts Chuck closer than ever

21:54to a sort of moonshine.

22:04Mike and Tweedy are planning

22:06a final, massive run

22:08in the hope of a huge payday

22:10before the season ends.

22:12I guess we ought to get our little buckets

22:14out of here, won't we?

22:16I hate to lose anything.

22:18Well, there we go.

22:20Yeah.

22:26Yeah.

22:28We need no tasting cup for that one.

22:32Get a barrel, put some in.

22:38You hear that?

22:40Man.

22:42Fire truck.

22:44Sit right here.

22:48I thought they were done.

22:50They must have come back for something.

22:54Looks like trouble.

22:56Their water supply hose

22:58could lead the firemen right to their still.

23:14I don't want to be making mash

23:16when there's any mold in the cell.

23:18Josh and Bill have thrown everything

23:20but the kitchen sink at the black mold.

23:22I think we need to cut a hole in the roof right there.

23:24It'll create a draw,

23:26and we'll have constant fresh air

23:28flowing through here no matter what.

23:30This is the entrance and the...

23:32over here, and this is the trapdoor.

23:34This is the trapdoor.

23:36Right on the edge.

23:38It's gonna be a multipurpose outhouse.

23:40It's gonna be for ventilation.

23:42Hopefully, that's gonna knock out all of the mold.

23:44It's gonna be a trapdoor,

23:46so if we ever have to make a quick escape,

23:48we got an escape route.

23:50The plan is to cut a hole

23:52in the metal roof for ventilation.

23:54Once this is complete,

23:56they'll camouflage the vent

23:58by building an outhouse around it.

24:00The outhouse structure

24:02will also protect the vent from rain.

24:04By creating air suction,

24:06the squirrel cage fan

24:08will pull out all the moisture

24:10and spray air from the stairway.

24:16Coming along pretty good with, uh,

24:18getting started on the outhouse this morning,

24:20getting our dirt dug back.

24:22Ain't nothing easy about running liquor.

24:24We're gonna be cutting through

24:26our waterproofing membrane

24:28and cutting through some metal.

24:30I'm gonna turn it back now.

24:36That's a...hole.

24:38We got a squirrel cage fan here.

24:40Let's see about getting it rigged up.

24:42See if it gets some power to it.

24:44Get a little bit more air moving around

24:46in our hole down there.

24:48Let's see what we got here.

24:52I can feel the cool air blowing through.

24:54Sweet.

24:56It's moving air. That's a good sign.

24:58Thank God. I'm ready to get her done.

25:04While brewing a mass run,

25:06Jack and Tweedy have found themselves cornered

25:08by unexpected visitors.

25:36Backing up.

25:38They turning around, ain't they?

25:40I don't think they noticed anything,

25:42but it was a real nerve-wracking moment.

25:48200 kilometers to the southwest,

25:52with the ventilation in place,

25:54Josh and Bill set to constructing

25:56their cloaking outhouse.

25:58Hopefully that'll take care of our mold.

26:00Boom!

26:02Ba-boom!

26:06Now we're getting somewhere.

26:12Cutie pie.

26:14Chill out, honey.

26:20What in the world?

26:22Let Daddy find it.

26:28Let Daddy look.

26:30I'm not gonna hurt you, baby.

26:32It's okay. It's okay.

26:34It's okay. It's okay, baby.

26:36Hold on. I see it's a thorn.

26:40She got stung by a honeybee.

26:42It's okay now, baby.

26:44Come here. You feel better?

26:46Cutie pie,

26:48she's always there for me.

26:50She's definitely my sidekick.

26:52If people were more like dogs,

26:54it'd be a better place.

26:58Barney's connection with the earth

27:00was one of his mantras.

27:03That's why he was always about the critters.

27:10He always had a pet running around.

27:12He always had George the possum on his shoulder

27:14or Willard the deer running around.

27:19It's about man's relationship with nature.

27:22You work the land, and the land gives back to you.

27:26It's a work relationship.

27:29There'll never be another Barney Barnwell

27:33that Josh is carrying on Barney's legacy.

27:37With Cutie Pie on the mend

27:39and the outhouse underway,

27:41Josh and Bill can finally put their strategy in place.

27:46We can use that as an escape route.

27:48If we ever do get raided, the last thing they're gonna do

27:50is expect us to come running out of that outhouse

27:52and haul and tail the drake.

27:54Good job, buddy.

27:59Don Wood is in the middle

28:01of the most important run of his life.

28:03He's taking shine to a wedding

28:05high in the mountains of Colorado

28:07to his largest and most important client's daughter,

28:10and he is running late.

28:12I've never done a wedding. I don't do weddings.

28:14But this was a unique situation.

28:16Extremely wealthy people.

28:18Don only has an hour to get to the wedding.

28:21In an effort to make time, he has ditched his trailer

28:24and is holding the remaining hours

28:26shine in the back of his bike.

28:28It was 1,450 miles to get here.

28:31That trailer affects my fuel economy, my speed.

28:34I would have hated to come up this road

28:36pulling that trailer.

28:38Over in West Kentucky,

28:40time is running out on Tim's mission

28:42to find a moonshine treasure

28:44at the bottom of Lake Barkley.

28:46His team of divers have been scouring the lake

28:48in search of the lost treasure.

28:50Well, it's a good word.

28:52But so far,

28:55But so far after two dives,

28:57they've come up with nothing but a big fat zero.

29:00It's dirt and trees.

29:04But Tim has come up with a new strategy.

29:07We've got to think about what was in 1959.

29:10This was a river in 1959. It wasn't a lake.

29:13All the way down here is probably where we need to be looking,

29:16all the way down where this thing's going to turn.

29:18You taking good a step, Pat? I can do that.

29:20Tim directs the team further down the lake

29:23away from the bridge.

29:25We've got to concentrate in this turn right here

29:27where this bend's at.

29:29Let's go get them divers to look at.

29:33This is the third and final dive.

29:35If they come up empty-handed,

29:37the mission is a total bust.

29:43I hope this is it.

29:45Let me tell you.

29:53I believe we're coming up, Tim.

29:59There's something down there. It's a car.

30:05Back in North Carolina,

30:07Moonshine MacGyvers Mike and Tweedie

30:09are smack in the middle of their biggest run of the season.

30:12Get in and out about off-jaw.

30:14Less chance of getting caught.

30:16As Tweedie cranks out gallon after gallon of shine,

30:19Mike is returning to the site

30:21with their latest transport vehicle.

30:23I went and picked up the horse trailer.

30:25I'm on my way back now.

30:27To blend in during the horse fair season,

30:30Mike and Tweedie have decided to move their shine

30:33in a two-stall horse trailer.

30:37But they better hurry.

30:39They've promised to meet their buyer before sundown.

30:47Don Wood is on the final leg

30:49of his marathon bootlegging journey.

30:51He lost precious time

30:53after a breakdown forced him to change his route.

30:56At last he's nearing his final destination,

30:59but time is not on his side.

31:03Guests have arrived,

31:05and the wedding ceremony has already started.

31:07All of your true and loyal friends are here today.

31:10If he doesn't arrive before the end of the ceremony,

31:13he can kiss his largest client goodbye.

31:20I pronounce you husband and wife.

31:28You may now kiss your beautiful bride.

31:31Don delivered the moonshine by the skin of his teeth.

31:35Cheers, everyone.

31:37The wedding was a success.

31:40And now Don Wood rides again.

31:44Tim and his divers may have just struck moonshine gold.

31:51There's something down there with the car.

31:53If these guys can find something to bring back,

31:55we've got to have proof we found the car.

31:58I hate to give up.

32:00I hate to say we came, we looked,

32:02we didn't see anything, and we're home.

32:04They can only sit and wait.

32:08I saw a glove come up.

32:10It's got a bottle.

32:12Right back here, it's got a bottle.

32:18It's moonshine. You smell it.

32:20It smells like corn.

32:21You taste it.

32:23I tell you what, Tim,

32:24that's the best, worst whiskey I ever tasted.

32:27After all these years, the shine has spoiled.

32:30I don't know if I want to drink it.

32:32I don't know if I want to drink it.

32:34The shine has spoiled.

32:36I don't know if I want to drink that or not.

32:38It may not be a financial windfall,

32:40but Tim has solved a 53-year-old mystery

32:43and now has a powerful ally in his quest to go legal.

32:47It took a little hard work.

32:48I'm just glad I could help him and build a friendship,

32:51and I think it'll go a long ways.

32:53I did what I said I was going to do.

32:55That's my thing.

32:56I thank you for that.

32:58If you ever need anything, you know where I'll be.

33:00Across that river making moonshine.

33:05Mike and Tweedy have almost 200 gallons of shine

33:09loaded in the back of their horse trailer.

33:11It's been 15 years since I've done any of this.

33:14I'm rusty as hell at it.

33:17It's a risk that few take.

33:21That's the lady.

33:23Let's unhook down here.

33:30If done correctly,

33:31the entire operation will go completely unnoticed.

33:34Tension runs high.

33:36If you're caught with this much shine,

33:38you can count on prison time.

33:41There's an aisle out.

33:43Everything's in on the trailer.

33:48She paid me, and then I hooked her up and left.

33:53Deputy Sheriff Chuck C.I.

33:55has tipped him off to a black SUV

33:57running shine through the back of his horse trailer.

34:00We're going to get him out of here.

34:02We're going to get him out of here.

34:04We're going to get him out of here.

34:06We're going to get him out of here.

34:09We're still just waiting.

34:11I've not seen the vehicle descriptions

34:13that's matched what we're looking for.

34:15I've been out here about 3 hours so far

34:17and ain't seen nothing but a dog going down the road.

34:21It's not looking too hopeful today,

34:23but we'll see what happens.

34:27This looks like our vehicle coming here.

34:29Are we just going to let him pass?

34:38We're going to let him pass.

34:55Tickle has hit all-time low.

34:57After trying to go solo

34:59and prove himself a moonshine kingpin,

35:02everything has gone wrong.

35:05What the hell is this?

35:07That ain't good.

35:09You're going to get that thing,

35:11and you're going to get it out of here.

35:13If that isn't enough, he owes money to the wrong people.

35:16I know you're wanting $500 for this thing.

35:18All right, I'll come looking for you.

35:20I had to come see Tim today

35:22because basically I'm down on my luck.

35:28It looks like Tickle.

35:30What's up, Tim?

35:33How you been, man?

35:35What's going on there?

35:37Man, I've been all over the place.

35:39Oh, yeah? You been filling up them jugs

35:41and making moonshine and all that?

35:45Well...

35:47I tried to.

35:49Really beautiful pot. I think you'd have been proud of it.

35:51Yeah.

35:53Somebody wound up putting a hole in my pot.

35:55This guy didn't come, and he busted up my still.

35:57Evidently, it was the landowner.

35:59You set a still on somebody's land and didn't tell him?

36:02Had no idea it was anybody's land.

36:04So somebody come as you set up a still

36:06and busted a still up?

36:08Yeah, put a big-ass hole in my pot.

36:10Told me, you got this amount of time

36:12to get your stuff off.

36:14Oh, you talked to the man?

36:16Yes, I did.

36:18And when I come back to go pick my stuff up,

36:20he done put a hole in my pot.

36:22I figured you was hauling moonshine

36:24and running that thing now.

36:26Well, I was wanting to be.

36:28Oh, that's crazy.

36:30So you didn't make no moonshine?

36:32No.

36:34So that kind of done me in right there,

36:36because, you know, I didn't have the money

36:38to build another one,

36:40and I'm owing some people some money.

36:44Can you help me?

36:52Mike and Tweedy's huge run paid off big time,

36:55but it was never about them from the start.

36:58The money was always for Mike's sick brother Darren,

37:01a short but lucrative season

37:03yielded almost all the money Mike's brother needs

37:06for medical treats.

37:08I pulled around to come over here.

37:10I was wanting to tell you,

37:12I've been into a little venture here.

37:14I've been getting a little moonshine.

37:16Kind of come out of retirement with it.

37:18Tweedy, he come down from Virginia

37:20to help me and stuff.

37:22Made a little bit of money to help you out.

37:28Y'all didn't have to do that.

37:31But you got to take care of family.

37:33It really surprised me when he pulled up

37:35and brought this and give it to me.

37:37When you're not bringing in a check,

37:39you know, it gets a little tight.

37:42I know what you're fixing to have to go through,

37:44and it's not fun.

37:46I just hope things kind of work out for the best.

37:53I'm pleased that I got to help my brother.

37:56I know it's going to be hard,

37:58but maybe a little money alone will help him.

38:02Now that Mike was able to help his brother,

38:04it signals the end to his season.

38:06But once a moonshiner,

38:08always a moonshiner.

38:14I'm owing some people some money.

38:16Can you help me out?

38:18Tickle is in way too deep

38:20and now needs Tim's help.

38:22I'm coming to you because my partner,

38:25this is what we do.

38:27Who else am I...

38:31Well, I got a backup plan.

38:36I hate to say it, but I got some moonshine.

38:38What do you mean you got moonshine?

38:40I got a whole lot of moonshine,

38:42and I can't get rid of it.

38:44I got it in the hay bed,

38:46right on the side of the road.

38:48That's where the moonshine's at.

38:54You got moonshine, you got gold,

38:56because I got more people than I know what to do with

38:58that want something.

38:59Well, you let me know where it's at,

39:01and I'll figure out a way to mug it.

39:03And I don't have nothing to do with it.

39:05No.

39:06Me and Tickle been friends a long time,

39:08and I gotta help him.

39:10But in turn, he's gonna help me out.

39:12Next time I see you, come back with some money.

39:14He's been doing his own kind of thing,

39:16going legal, and I've been doing my own kind of thing,

39:18being illegal.

39:19Be good. Be careful.

39:21I'm gonna do that.

39:23He's got some moonshine.

39:25I'm gonna run.

39:27And I'm gonna run it for him.

39:29The old partners are back together again,

39:32but it won't come without great risk for Tickle.

39:40Jeff, Mark, and Jim Tom are heading back to the woods

39:43to kill off the Yellow Jackets

39:45and make final preparations for their end-of-season run.

39:49But Deputy Sheriff Chuck has other plans.

39:54I've not seen no vehicle descriptions

39:57that's matched what we're looking for yet.

40:00We're just gonna keep hanging out here,

40:02and we'll see what happens.

40:06This looks like our vehicle coming here.

40:08We're just gonna let him pass.

40:12I just seen a suspect vehicle.

40:15I'm gonna see where he's going

40:17to tell from a distance here.

40:31He's turning off on the old... road.

40:34We'll just let him go on that road.

40:36We'll just let him go on that road.

40:38On that road, we'll just let him go on.

40:40That road leads back around to the lake over there.

40:46When he had the brake light out,

40:48could have stopped him on that,

40:50but I don't want to stop him unless I know

40:52he's got the finished product in there.

40:54I'll go down there and see if I can get a location on him.

40:57Deputy Sheriff Chuck is closing in,

40:59but unaware, Jeff, Mark, and Jim Tom press on.

41:03Burn them babies out of there.

41:08Light them up.

41:11I guess that'll put the sting in.

41:18Fire kills the ones that tries to escape out the outside.

41:21It burns their wings off, and they just fall back in.

41:24You do know where to make itchy stingers.

41:27Yeah, I do.

41:28Give me a tiny.

41:29Hey.

41:30Well, I don't think we got to worry about them.

41:32Let's get this thing set up.

41:33Yeah.

41:34These nest is gone.

41:36Now it's time to buckle down and get back

41:38to doing what we do best.

41:39Let's make moonshine.

41:41That'll work.

41:42OK.

41:43That's perfect.

41:44We got to paste it.

41:45Yeah, paste this thing up.

41:50Following that black Jeep Cherokee,

41:52we seen him coming this direction toward the lake.

41:56He turned off on the road that comes to this area

41:59of the lake down here.

42:01See if we can see anything.

42:03We might be able to see a campfire or the fires

42:07they use to heat their pot with.

42:26We've actually got a lot down here.

42:28We've actually got a lot down here in the woods a little ways.

42:31There may be campers.

42:33That should be them.

42:37If you don't really hunt you a good place,

42:40I'm going to tell you, they'll find it.

42:42Next time on Moonshiners.

42:45Our own pot up here.

42:47We've got a steel operation going here.

42:51Go, go, go.

42:52The gas is my blow.

42:54We just blew the seal.

42:57Let's get this done.

42:58I got another liquor in the truck already.

43:00Send me to jail in federal penitentiary.

43:03We're going to take a little bigger risk today.

43:05I'm sick, tired, and I am broke.

43:09We have been working to death.

43:11I've got a vehicle description, kind of what I'm looking for.

43:17Step out the vehicle.

43:18Put the camera down.
