right out onto the floating dock,

14
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,840
and dropped it right in the water.

15
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,600
Let's get in the water.

if someone poured me this drink,

32
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,000
we both could have ended up behind bars.

Between 1920 and 1933,

34
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,160
making, moving, and selling alcohol

35
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240
was illegal in the U.S.

36
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Prohibition was supposed to reduce bad behavior.

37
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,240
Instead, it created an era of organized crime.

38
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,840
Amid New York City's illegal empires,

39
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,360
a Bronx-born German Jew carved out a kingdom.

40
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,960
His name was Arthur Flegenheimer.

41
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,680
He called himself Dutch Schultz.

42
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,680
Legends say that through bootlegging

43
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,480
and illegal gambling rackets,

44
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Schultz stockpiled a fortune worth over 100 million today.

45
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,320
Much of that fortune is said to have been hidden

46
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,160
in a large trunk that's never been found.

47
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,480
But new clues are leading investigators

48
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,520
to Dutch's old stomping grounds.

49
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,040
In the Catskill Mountains,

50
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,000
the ruins of an old hotel could hold the jackpot.

51
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Or are the missing millions concealed

52
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,920
in a distillery's long-forgotten tunnels,

53
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,360
or perhaps submerged in the shadow of an eerie mansion?

54
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Once upon a time in America,

55
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,280
an unlikely kingpin stashed a pretty penny.

56
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,240
Now, it's time to uncover the last chapter

57
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,000
of his bloody rags-to-riches tale.

58
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,360

Amazing.

Whoo!

68
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,040
And a guy who ends up in some very strange situations.

69
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Oh, s***.

70
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,560
Whoo, that was exciting.

71
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,000
With a degree in archaeology

72
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440
and a passion for the unexplained,

73
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,280
I travel to the ends of the earth,

74
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,280
investigating the greatest legends in history.

75
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Okay, let's punch it.

76
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,080
This is Expedition Unknown.

77
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,680
New York, New York.

78
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,080
A town so nice,

79
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,480
they named it after a tiny medieval backwater

80
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,600
in Northern England.

81
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,200
These days, the impossibly high cost of living here

82
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,400
makes the five boroughs shine brighter than ever before,

83
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,800
but was not always so, especially in the Bronx.

84
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,560
In the early 1900s, these were meaner streets,

85
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,560
not many legitimate avenues for an outsider,

86
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,280
from a poor tenement upbringing

87
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,200
to become one of the most powerful men in New York.

88
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Born Arthur Flegenheimer,

89
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,080
to a pair of German-Jewish immigrants.

90
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,080
From a young age,

91
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,840
Dutch Schultz learned to make his way

92
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,600
through a criminal underworld,

93
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,000
run by the so-called Five Families of the Italian Mafia.

94
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Yet at this school of hard knocks,

95
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,400
it was Dutch who did the knocking.

96
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,160
In the toughest crowd in the world,

97
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,600
he earned a reputation for brutality,

98
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400
as he moved from hijacking and gambling rackets

99
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,800
to bootlegging.

100
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,480
And after Prohibition came in 1920,

101
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Dutch killed the competition, literally.

102
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,840
He controlled every aspect of his illegal alcohol empire

103
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,960
from production to distribution,

104
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,200
and it made him extremely wealthy.

105
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Now, where those riches went,

106
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,720
that's what we need to figure out.

107
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,000
With his ever-present bodyguard

108
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,680
and confidant Bernard Lulule Rosencrantz at his side,

109
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Dutch Schultz used brute force and skill

110
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,720
to coexist with the most feared mafiosos in New York

111
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,280
and dodge the feds.

112
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,720
By 1935, though,

113
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,400
the walls were closing in around him.

114
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,400
Mafia Lor says that Dutch tried to cash out,

115
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,320
hiding much of his personal fortune in a trunk,

116
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,800
a literal box of treasure.

117
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,840
But on October 23rd, 1935,

118
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,440
the mafia ended his retirement plan in a hail of bullets.

119
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,280
Since then, many have tried to find the loot,

120
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:00,000
but new leads have revealed promising places

121
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,360
where no one's looked.

122
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,840
I don't know about you, when I think of bootlegging,

123
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:16,720
I think of nondescript trucks

124
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,720
driving in the dead of night with barrels

125
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,400
filled with illegal liquor.

126
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960
And Dutch had plenty of those trucks, to be sure,

127
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,480
but for law enforcement,

128
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,800
these very waterways were much harder to patrol.

129
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,360
And Dutch took advantage.

130
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,400
He had an infamously fast fleet

131
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,480
moving his hooch all over the Tri-State area.

132
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,600
And as for the authorities,

133
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,800
well, they were left in his wake.

134
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,720
As for me, I'm headed east,

135
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640
well beyond Brooklyn and Queens to Long Island

136
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,000
and the playgrounds of the rich and famous.

137
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,280
It was on the North Shore of Long Island

138
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,880
that Jay Gatsby stood,

139
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,600
fixated on the green light of Daisy's dock.

140
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,160
Dutch Schultz had his own dreams of greatness

141
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,200
on the opposite shore in the town of Oakdale,

142
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,720
which is where Robbie Hoffman has asked me to meet him.

143
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,880
At what turns out to be a very respectable address.

144
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,400
Whoa.

145
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Oh, my God.

146
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Hey.

147
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,240
Gosh.

148
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,080
How are you, man?

149
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,920
Robbie Hoffman.

150
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,960
Ah, so nice to meet you.

151
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,840
Nice to meet you too.

152
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:38,840
Nice digs.

153
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:39,680
Very nice.

154
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,600
This is your place?

155
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,440
I wish.

156
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,480
I wish too.

157
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,360
I feel like I'm in like a gothic novel here.

158
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,440
Welcome to Eidel Hour.

159
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,280
Eidel Hour.

160
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:47,120
Yes.

161
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,920
Eidel Hour, as this modest 70,000 square foot home is known,

162
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,440
was built in 1901 for William K. Vanderbilt,

163
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,400
heir to the railroad empire and fortune.

164
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,600
Mr. Vanderbilt's money and, I guess, taste

165
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,120
attracted the cream of New York's elite,

166
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,360
who rushed here to stay in what is still

167
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,640
one of the largest mansions in the country.

168
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,080
So the big question,

169
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,680
what Dutch Schultz got to do

170
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,720
with a historic Vanderbilt mansion?

171
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,280
Dutch Schultz was here with his wife, Francis,

172
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,400
and his two children.

173
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,360
What, they lived here?

174
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,480
Yes, they lived here for 22 months.

175
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,320
When?

176
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,880
In 1934 into 1935.

177
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,840
And how did you figure out that Schultz was here?

178
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,880
What I did was I started looking up

179
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,200
all of the locations where Dutch Schultz,

180
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Arthur Flagenheimer, was in 1934 into 1935.

181
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,160
I have him in Bridgewood, Connecticut,

182
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,040
Yonkers, New York, the Bronx.

183
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,920
He was all over, upstate.

184
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,440
But I found that he was here in Oakdale

185
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,400
30 days before he got killed.

186
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,280
So this is right before his death.

187
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,720
How do you place him here?

188
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,840
A newspaper article, two gentlemen were at Mike's

189
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,560
soda shop up on Main Street.

190
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Shout out to Mike's soda shop.

191
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,800
And they actually followed Dutch and Lulu Rosencrantz

192
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,600
back here, and this was the place they were hiding.

193
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,280
All right, let's talk Dutch and his treasure

194
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,120
for a minute here.

195
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,280
We know he was super successful at what he did.

196
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,280
We know he amassed a ton of money.

197
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,040
Why do we think there is a treasure, though,

198
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,440
to be found today?

199
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000
Because in 1935, he had Thomas Dewey

200
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640
and the federal government after him for tax evasion.

201
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,680
He had Mayor LaGuardia from the city,

202
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880
put a bull's eye on his back, and then he also

203
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,040
had the five families, Lucky Luciano.

204
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,880
These guys were getting real tired of Dutch Schultz.

205
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,640
And he doesn't want to end up like Capone

206
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,680
when he's not going to pay the government.

207
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:34,280
Exactly.

208
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,080
He'd go out for biddy if he doesn't go to jail.

209
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,840
He doesn't want to go being broke when he gets out.

210
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,360
So what does he do?

211
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,280
Time to liquidate.

212
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,600
He takes his cash.

213
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,280
He takes his liberty bonds, diamonds, jewelry, gold,

214
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,360
and puts it in a custom-built treasure chest.

215
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,000
Wait, hold on.

216
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,960
What is a custom-built treasure chest?

217
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,120
Well, it's actually waterproof and airtight.

218
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720
It was built by an iron worker in the Bronx.

219
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,440
And how do we know all that?

220
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,000
His attorney, Dixie Davis.

221
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,080
In a 1939 series in Collier's magazine,

222
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,920
Dutch's lawyer, Dixie Davis, says,

223
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,360
One night, I was in his room and on the table,

224
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,240
he had a big steel box about three feet long, two feet wide.

225
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,600
What's that I asked?

226
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,400
To keep my money in, he said, I never saw that box again.

227
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,920
What became of the Dutchman's wealth remains mystery.

228
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,320
And I've heard a lot of different theories

229
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,160
as to where this treasure went.

230
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,560
But because Dutch was here, you're putting it here.

231
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:33,320
Yes.

232
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,880
He had a very inflated image of himself.

233
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,840
This was the nicest house in the country.

234
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,040
And he really believed that this is the place

235
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,480
that him and his wife should be living.

236
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,120
So is the treasure here as well?

237
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Like, should I get a shovel?

238
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:47,840
Not here.

239
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,680
Not here.

240
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:49,840
Not here.

241
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,400
There.

242
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,480
Where's there?

243
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,360
I'll take you, Josh.

244
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,080
I'm all in.

245
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,480
Let's go.

246
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,080
Robbie leads me to a dock in front of the estate,

247
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,560
where he's brought in veteran search and rescue diver

248
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,120
Barry Lipsky, along with a sonar team

249
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,800
to help us find the treasure chest.

250
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,400
I see boats.

251
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,240
I see dive tanks.

252
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,240
I'm nervous, Robbie.

253
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:09,800
Don't be nervous, Josh.

254
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,840
Where is this treasure?

255
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:11,560
It's in the water.

256
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:12,320
No.

257
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,000
It's in the water.

258
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Really?

259
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,480
I really believe.

260
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,800
So front of the mansion here, we

261
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,200
do see this big staircase that comes down to the water.

262
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Yes.

263
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,400
And?

264
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,080
And here's a picture.

265
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,960
From the 30s, there's a boat ramp with a floating boat dock.

266
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,600
I believe Dutch Schultz and Lulu Rosencrantz

267
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,360
carried this 100, 150-pound, 3 by 2 by 18 inches high,

268
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,280
a steel box, treasure chest, down those steps,

269
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,960
onto the ramp, onto the floating dock,

270
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,920
and placed it in the water.

271
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,040
All right, so now I turn to you with the dive logo.

272
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,720
First of all, how deep is it out here?

273
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,800
We are anywhere from about 2 to 6 feet of water.

274
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,120
So easy peasy?

275
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,800
Absolutely not.

276
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,680
It's never easy.

277
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:52,080
Why?

278
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,120
Why not?

279
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,160
This is a river.

280
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,320
It's mixed with salt and fresh water.

281
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,640
There's going to be mud on the bottom that's

282
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,400
going to be so deep that we may not even find the bottom.

283
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,560
Visibility?

284
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:04,520
Zero.

285
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,200
Visibility will end up within a few moments,

286
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,440
blacker than the blackest black you've ever

287
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,440
been in before in your life.

288
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,080
Great.

289
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,400
That's the worst kind of diving that you could possibly

290
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,560
want to dive in.

291
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:17,440
Except that it might end in treasure.

292
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,600
In this particular case, there's a lot of optimism.

293
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,880
Yes.

294
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,360
That's right.

295
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,240
OK, so we've got that going for us.

296
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,120
So where do we start?

297
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,520
Well, we have a boat here with side skints on our.

298
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,400
We're going to scan the area.

299
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,400
If we identify a target, we're going to throw a mark of buoy

300
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,080
on it.

301
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,760
Once we identify enough targets, we'll dive.

302
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,200
OK, let's get into it.

303
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,200
We motor over to the location of Eidl Hour's long vanished dock

304
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,200
and begin our sonar scan for a treasure chest.

305
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,200
What is that right there?

306
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,200
Market.

307
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,200
Market?

308
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Let's check that out.

309
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,200
It looks like a mass, whatever that is.

310
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,200
It's in the right place.

311
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,200
OK, we're going to spin again?

312
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Yeah.

313
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,200
I mean, something there.

314
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,200
Look at this over here.

315
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,200
That's right where you want to be.

316
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,200
Well, that looks really solid.

317
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,200
Mark that one too?

318
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,200
Grab those two marks there.

319
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,200
Make sure we get them at the right there.

320
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,200
With our sonar scan complete, it's time to dive into the darkness.

321
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,200
So what's the plan?

322
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,200
So we're going to swim over to the side where the steps are.

323
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,200
And we're going to tie ourselves in as if we're doing a search type

324
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,200
of patterns.

325
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,200
So we're going to be hard tethered to the shore?

326
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,200
Yes, we are.

327
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,200
This will be absolutely zero visibility.

328
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,200
So if I'm this close to you underwater, I won't be able to see you.

329
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,200
You will not be able to see me.

330
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,200
I know that a lot of people, when they get into conditions like this

331
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,200
where it's a total blackout, they freak.

332
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,200
They absolutely do.

333
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Don't keep your eyes open.

334
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,200
You better off just closing your eyes and use your mind's eye to see what.

335
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Are you talking about the force?

336
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,200
It's whatever you want to make it be.

337
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,200
The force actually does work in this kind of conditions.

338
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,200
This is Jedi shit here.

339
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,200
OK, let's get in the water.

340
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Come on.

341
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,200
In addition to a line, we're going to be able to see the water.

342
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,200
In addition to a line connecting us to the shore, Barry and I are going to be tethered

343
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,200
to each other so that the next body he needs to recover isn't mine.

344
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,200
If that sounds dramatic, remember that this river is filled with debris dating back before

345
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,200
the Vanderbilts.

346
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:22,200
Even more concerning is the mud, thick underwater quicksand capable of swallowing and trapping

347
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,200
us beneath the surface.

348
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,200
All right.

349
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Going down.

350
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,200
Going down.

351
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,200
Going deep.

352
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,200
There we go.

353
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Do not adjust your television set or phone or whatever you're watching this on.

354
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,200
You're seeing what I'm seeing.

355
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,200
Nothing.

356
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,200
I am on the bottom.

357
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,200
Roger, on the bottom also.

358
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,200
No, it's black.

359
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,200
It can't be.

360
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:47,200
I've never been afraid of the dark before, but I've never experienced darkness like

361
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,200
this.

362
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,200
I'm completely blind, disoriented.

363
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,200
You remember here to use your mind's eye to see what you're seeing.

364
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,200
You've got it Obi-Wan.

365
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,200
Let's do this.

366
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:05,200
On the verge of panic, I use Barry's advice, disregarding my sense of sight and carefully

367
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,200
allowing my hands to evaluate my surroundings.

368
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,200
So, Josh, we're going to lay on this mud.

369
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,200
I feel like if I flex my hands down, I can go right into it.

370
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,200
Let's park this area just for a few moments.

371
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Come on.

372
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,200
It's got to be there.

373
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Come on.

374
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,200
Finally, I'm able to wrap my fingers around something that I hope won't cut or bite me.

375
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,200
Oh, wow.

376
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,200
What is that?

377
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,200
I don't know.

378
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,200
Whatever it is, it's a pig.

379
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,200
I can feel the edge of it.

380
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,200
Should we turn it and bring it up to the surface?

381
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,200
Here we go.

382
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,200
They're coming up with something.

383
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,200
There we go.

384
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,200
There we go.

385
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,200
There we go.

386
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,200
There we go.

387
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,200
There we go.

388
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,200
There we go.

389
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,200
There we go.

390
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,200
There we go.

391
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,200
There we go.

392
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:52,200
They're coming up with something.

393
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,200
They're in the spot.

394
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,200
They're right there.

395
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Unbelievable.

396
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,200
There it goes.

397
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,760
Near a shuttered mansion known as Idol Hour, I'm diving in total darkness, blindly grasping

398
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,200
to find the legendary lost fortune of mobster Dutch Schultz.

399
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Okay.

400
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,200
We've got old boards here.

401
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,200
It's kind of part of the old dock that was here, where Dutch was here.

402
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,200
It makes sense.

403
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,200
Dutch and Lulu would have walked right down here with the treasure chest, right onto the

404
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,200
ramp, right out onto the floating dock, and dropped it right in the water.

405
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,200
We got part of the dock.

406
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Now we just need a treasure chest.

407
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Okay, going down here.

408
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,200
Going down.

409
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,200
Come on, Uncle Dutch.

410
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,040
We're close.

411
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,200
We return to the darkness to continue the search.

412
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,200
Barry, I'm still here.

413
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Give me your hand.

414
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,200
Oh, wow.

415
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,200
What is this?

416
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
What are they doing?

417
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Take him.

418
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Josh, whatever this is, it's very thick.

419
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,200
They have something very large?

420
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Very, very large.

421
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,200
They don't know if they're going to move it.

422
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,200
Well, let's pull it up.

423
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,200
That can feel the edge of it.

424
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,200
It feels like a box.

425
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Not just box, it's supposed to be three foot by two foot by 18 inches.

426
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,200
I gotta say, one side of this feels right.

427
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Can you move it?

428
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Yeah, it's already out.

429
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,200
Okay, should we try and bring it up?

430
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,200
It's already going up.

431
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,200
There we go.

432
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,200
Please, Lord.

433
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,200
They're coming up.

434
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,200
They're coming up.

435
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,200
They're coming up.

436
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,200
Okay, one, two, three.

437
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Damn it.

438
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,200
That's a box.

439
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,200
So close, Jeremy, so close.

440
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200
I've never been in conditions like this.

441
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200
I mean, you're right, it is a total mental game.

442
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,200
Yeah, but I've never seen anybody so calm.

443
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,200
You're still in point as you are.

444
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,200
Well, you have to remember that I'm incredibly stupid, Barry.

445
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,200
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart.

446
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,200
As we keep searching, I get to pull up a chair.

447
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Well, it's not going to twist a cent.

448
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,200
Along with some of the more random finds in my treasure hunting career.

449
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,200
It's not sure if I'm a T.H.

450
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,200
Let me know more.

451
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,200
Can anybody confirm that I just find a skateboard?

452
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,200
And finally,

453
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,200
Ah, this place is closed.

454
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,200
Well, Robbie, we have looked high and low,

455
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,200
and I'm not feeling a truck down here.

456
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Yeah, listen, I really appreciate the effort.

457
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,200
I'm not saying it's not here.

458
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,200
I think if there's a hundred plus pound truck,

459
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,200
there's a chance it could be deeper down in the mud.

460
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,200
The mud is so thick that if Robbie's going to find the box here,

461
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,200
I think it'll take a dredge to recover it.

462
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,200
I wish him all the luck in the world and head back to the mainland

463
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,200
for another chance at Dutch's Millions.

464
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,200
In a slightly more visible setting.

465
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,200
Just a few hours north of New York, live a historic Catskill Mountains,

466
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,200
which have long been a magnet for outliers.

467
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:19,200
Artists, hippies, comedians, and yes, even criminals.

468
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,200
In the mid-20th century, it became a vacation hotspot

469
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,200
for those seeking to escape the city.

470
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,200
And it's been the backdrop for Hollywood hits.

471
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Dirty dancing, anyone?

472
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,200
Supposed to take a left at a fork in the road.

473
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,200
Oh, there it is.

474
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,200
Oh, it's so dumb, but it's so funny.

475
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,200
Today, many of the resorts have faded away,

476
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,200
but there are still big things happening here.

477
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,200
Like, you know, the world's largest kaleidoscope.

478
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,200
Weird, but cool.

479
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,200
The world's third largest gnome.

480
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,200
But where are the first and second largest gnomes?

481
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,200
This is Expedition Un-Nome.

482
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,200
Huh?

483
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,200
Fortunately for you, I have non-nome related business to attend to.

484
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,200
My mission is to link up with two well-known Canadian treasure hunters,

485
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,200
who, I'm told, have secured exclusive access

486
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,200
to search in a small town in the Catskills

487
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,200
that was Dutch's home away from home.

488
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,200
They're also convinced it's home to his missing millions.

489
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,200
In the nearby tranquil town of Phoenicia,

490
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,200
I pull over to meet Steve Zazulik and Ryan Fizakis.

491
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Hey, Josh.

492
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,200
Steve and Ryan are accomplished treasure hunters.

493
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,200
Steve alone has written two books on underwater metal detecting,

494
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,200
and now they have their sights set on Dutch shulks.

495
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,200
So, how did the two of you get interested in this story?

496
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,200
So, we researched different things, and this story is legit.

497
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,200
For sure.

498
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,200
No question.

499
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,200
No question.

500
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,200
It is a pretty appealing story.

501
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,200
Oh, my God.

502
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,200
Like, think about what's in that box.

503
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,200
Are you kidding me?

504
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,200
Right.

505
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,200
We're literally talking hundreds of millions of dollars.

506
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,200
Who would not want to go after that, Josh?

507
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,200
Okay, so why Phoenicia?

508
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,200
Why was Dutch all the way up here?

509
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,200
I mean, we're a long way from New York City.

510
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,200
This is where he was making his moonshine.

511
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,200
Right.

512
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,200
Couldn't do that in the city.

513
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,200
Exactly.

514
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,200
Not on the scale he was doing it.

515
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,200
No.

516
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,200
If you see all these mountains behind us, there's notches in them, Josh.

517
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,200
So, in every one of these notches, he'd have a still.

518
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,200
He'd make his moonshine and the stills.

519
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,200
He employed a lot of the people here, and everybody knew him.

520
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,200
Everybody loved him, and this is where he came to relax and do his business.

521
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,200
And the thing he loved the most was the Phoenicia Hotel.

522
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Best steaks in town.

523
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,200
Well, that was his spot.

524
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,200
And Phoenicia hotels where?

525
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,200
You're standing right at it, Josh.

526
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,200
Right here.

527
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,200
This is it.

528
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,200
We're in front of it.

529
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,200
This lot.

530
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,200
Oh, wow.

531
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,200
So, what happened to it?

532
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,200
Well, it was a beautiful wooden hotel.

533
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,200
It sat right on this corner.

534
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,200
And in the early 2000s, there was a fire.

535
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,200
Later on, 2008, they tore it down.

536
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,200
And that is it.

537
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,200
What a shame.

538
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,200
Multi-million dollar question.

539
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,200
Should be an easy one for you.

540
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,200
Where's the treasure?

541
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Right here.

542
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,200
Right in the basement.

543
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,200
Oh, you think it's in the ruins of the hotel?

544
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,200
Now, how do we get to it?

545
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,200
Come on.

546
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,200
I got someone you want to be.

547
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Sure.

548
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Please.

549
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,200
Josh, this is...

550
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,200
Josh, nice to meet you.

551
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,200
Hey, Bruce, pleasure.

552
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,200
How you doing, man?

553
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Thank you.

554
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,200
Bruce is our research guy.

555
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,200
So, anything you want to know about the Dutch, right there.

556
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,200
You're the man.

557
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,200
I know everything about him.

558
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,200
You're obsessed.

559
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,200
Totally.

560
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,200
For 23 years now.

561
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,200
Like everybody else.

562
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,200
There's a lot of money out there, so why not?

563
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,200
Exactly, right?

564
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,200
And this is Frank.

565
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,200
Frank.

566
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,200
Josh, good to meet you.

567
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,200
Nice to meet you, too.

568
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,200
So, Frank is our GPR guy.

569
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,200
The remote sensing guy.

570
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,200
Absolutely.

571
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,200
All right.

572
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,200
We'll meet you at the underground.

573
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,200
For the best of my ability.

574
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,200
All right.

575
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,200
So, Bruce, as an expert on Dutch Shultz, you feel confident about the hotel as a location?

576
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,200
Extremely confident.

577
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,200
And why?

578
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,200
His dying words.

579
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:57,200
By 1935, Dutch Shultz is feeling heat on multiple fronts.

580
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:03,200
He's just skated on two tax evasion trials, but the special prosecutor, future governor

581
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,200
of New York, and presidential candidate, Thomas Dewy, isn't giving up.

582
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,720
So Dutch goes to Lucky Luciano and the five families for permission to kill Dewey.

583
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,120
But targeting a celebrated lawman is too much even for them.

584
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,120
Instead, Luciano orders the hit on Dutch.

585
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:27,120
Murder, Incorporated finds Dutch in the back of Newark's palace chophouse and guns him down.

586
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:34,160
And in one of those colorful mob flourishes,

587
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,880
the Button Men used bullets coated in rust to ensure he could never survive.

588
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,280
In a blood poison delirium shortly before his painful death,

589
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:51,200
Dutch makes a statement to police, a hallucinatory diatribe that becomes the stuff of legend.

590
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,960
He literally mentions a hotel. John, did you buy the hotel?

591
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,240
And when it comes to Dutch and hotels, this is the spot.

592
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,400
This is it. He would come here, have his dinner on the porch.

593
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:11,120
He'd check on all of his stills and he would sleep here at least once a week in this hotel.

594
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:18,720
And he was intimately friendly with the owner and most likely took his treasure and buried it

595
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,080
in the floor of one of the pantries next to the kitchen right there.

596
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,720
He had to get out of New York City and consequently wanted to buy the hotel,

597
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:32,720
but he got cut short from doing that on October 23rd when he was tragically shot.

598
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,400
And since the hotel was torn down, has anybody searched in these grounds?

599
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:44,160
So, Josh, you got to understand, people have been dying to do this for years and no one's had permission until today.

600
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:44,640
Amazing.

601
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:51,360
Stephen Ryan's plan sounds simple. Using Bruce's research and Frank's ground penetrating radar,

602
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:55,680
we'll locate the Phoenicia Hotel's basement and hopefully dig up the treasure.

603
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,800
What do you say? Should we get to work and tear up some earth here?

604
00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,120
Oh yeah.

605
00:23:59,120 --> 00:23:59,680
Let's do this.

606
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,600
Let's get rich boys. Come on, let's do it.

607
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,360
Bruce, give me some geography. How was the hotel laid out?

608
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:10,480
This would be a long where I suspect the kitchen pantries were, which had dirt floors.

609
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:10,720
Okay.

610
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,960
Dutch Schultz theoretically took the steel box and buried it in the dirt of one of the

611
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,080
pantries and put a padlock on that pantry and told the owner, don't let anybody go in there,

612
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,720
I'll be back.

613
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,080
All right, let's do it.

614
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,480
While Frank does the GPR voodoo, he does so well, we fan out with metal detectors to see

615
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,720
if any clues lie close to the surface.

616
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,080
Head.

617
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Old square head nail.

618
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,800
That was in the side of a treasure box.

619
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,320
Dig deeper.

620
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:03,600
What are you using that for?

621
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,880
You gonna use a pin pointer?

622
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,880
Usually the experts don't use a pin pointer.

623
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,080
Oh, okay. Well, why don't you go find a traffic park, Steve, and then we'll talk.

624
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,760
You're getting some hits, Frank.

625
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,040
Something in here.

626
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,720
Oh, something here.

627
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,040
Point. That's a coin. I got a coin. We got a coin.

628
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:32,880
Look at this.

629
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,440
Look at this.

630
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,680
The Phoenicia Hotel was once at the heart of mobster Dutch Schultz's Catskills Moonshine

631
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,080
Empire. Could evidence of his missing fortune be hiding in the foundation?

632
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,400
That's awesome.

633
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,840
So this is a dime.

634
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,040
That's a mercury dime.

635
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Yeah, this is old. This is early 1900s. So we're in what here?

636
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,280
1934.

637
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,720
1934. Look at that.

638
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,480
1934.

639
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,160
Straight on.

640
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,400
This is the year before Dutch dimes right here.

641
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,360
That could have been his.

642
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,280
Right? A 34 dime. Look at that.

643
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,920
Right there. Right there.

644
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,520
And we just started. Let's keep going.

645
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,480
Come on. Here we go.

646
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,880
Wow. Check this out. Whoa. Look at this. Look at this.

647
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Hey, Josh.

648
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:25,680
Yeah.

649
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,800
We got some coins.

650
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,600
You got coins?

651
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:27,840
Yep.

652
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:29,440
What do you got?

653
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,880
Oh yeah, you do. Look at this.

654
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,320
Two coins here.

655
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,800
Another mercury dime.

656
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:37,360
It's a murk.

657
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:39,120
It's exact one. We just found one down here.

658
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:39,920
Oh, you found a murk.

659
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,080
Yeah.

660
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,440
You got something else too. What is this?

661
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:42,880
This is...

662
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,680
A penny?

663
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,480
This is a wee penny.

664
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:44,640
Yeah.

665
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,240
Beautiful. Okay. Keep at it, man.

666
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,400
While I enjoy collecting loose change, Frank has finished his GPR scan

667
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,640
and we're ready to go after the big month.

668
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680
Okay, Frank, let's talk GPR. What do you got?

669
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,240
So we're seeing multiple hits linearly this way along the cellar.

670
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,040
A lot of them seem to be settling on what would have been the cellar floor.

671
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,880
Okay. How deep down is that from here?

672
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,800
Well, the cellar floor is roughly eight feet.

673
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,560
Wow. So we got some real earth to move there.

674
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:14,560
Should we bring in the big shovels?

675
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,280
Absolutely.

676
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,600
Hey, guys. You want to dig some s*** up?

677
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,360
Come on.

678
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:33,840
Here we go.

679
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,760
It's not a trunk, is it?

680
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:37,840
Might be.

681
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,520
It's the size of one.

682
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,880
Looks like a steel trunk.

683
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,440
It doesn't hit?

684
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,160
It was two feet by three feet.

685
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,040
Part of the wall.

686
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,920
Yeah, it is.

687
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:46,880
Look at the size of that.

688
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,200
Wow.

689
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,960
Big old part of the wall.

690
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Oh, that would get somewhere. Look at that.

691
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,880
Look at that.

692
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Old wood?

693
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,400
Oh, yeah.

694
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:58,880
Totally.

695
00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,680
Smell that.

696
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,320
More bricks.

697
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:02,240
Old flooring.

698
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,720
You see that?

699
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,680
The old stone floor.

700
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,680
That's the old stone floor.

701
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,520
That was the floor of the hotel originally built in 1901.

702
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:09,920
Crazy.

703
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,200
The holes were digging quickly filled with groundwater,

704
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,120
from the damp soil being dredged away.

705
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,120
Now you're seeing wood.

706
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:17,280
Yeah.

707
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
And that would be the ceiling of the basement.

708
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,640
So we're into that basement level.

709
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,680
We are into the basement.

710
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,400
So everything that comes out now is the basement

711
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040
where Dutch could have buried the treasure.

712
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,240
The excavators dig for hours,

713
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,640
finding more wood, metal, and brick.

714
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,560
On Earthing, this foundation is no small task,

715
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,640
but Bruce's energy never wavers.

716
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,600
I am super excited about this.

717
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,400
It's the first time anyone has ever been able to dig

718
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,400
below the floor of the Fonish Hotel,

719
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,560
where Dutch Schultz buried his treasure,

720
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,160
and that's what we're looking at right here.

721
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,560
I like that now it's 100%.

722
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,840
He did bury it here.

723
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,160
Well, I'm thoroughly convinced that he did.

724
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,560
So we got to be in that pantry area now, right?

725
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,280
Oh, yes.

726
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,600
So once you get through that black stone floor,

727
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:04,800
we'll be totally in the basement.

728
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,920
Once we start seeing the wood of the ceiling basement.

729
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,560
Gosh.

730
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,200
Shut it down.

731
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:13,760
F*** that.

732
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,000
Is that what I think it is?

733
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,880
That's what you think it is.

734
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,280
Whoa.

735
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,000
That's a gun.

736
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,240
Oh my God.

737
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,160
That's a gun.

738
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:23,680
Wow.

739
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,760
Are you kidding me?

740
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:26,000
Unbelievable.

741
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,440
That's a gun, too, brother.

742
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,320
Good job.

743
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,040
Wow.

744
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,480
Unbelievable.

745
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,600
Holy cow.

746
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,680
What am I looking at here?

747
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:33,840
What do you think?

748
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,480
That's a gun.

749
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,400
That's a 32 caliber.

750
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,920
Absolutely from the muzzle.

751
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,320
It was a gangsters gun, not a hunting gun.

752
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,080
It was powerful enough to kill somebody

753
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,440
as long as it didn't hit the wallet.

754
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,160
But if it hit a chest, it would kill somebody.

755
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,440
If it hit my wallet, I'd be dead.

756
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,720
It's well, yeah.

757
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,840
And it was a throwaway gun.

758
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,760
It was easily kept in a vest pocket.

759
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:52,400
You take it out.

760
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,200
You shoot somebody.

761
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:53,920
You throw it away.

762
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,600
This is crazy.

763
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,000
The gun is missing the cylinder,

764
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,360
which isn't surprising.

765
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,600
But it's also missing a trigger guard,

766
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,960
which may be our best clue that this gun was not meant

767
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,920
for self-defense.

768
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,680
A glove couldn't go in the old trigger guards

769
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,800
because they were small.

770
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,880
So they would chop off the trigger guard

771
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,200
so a guy with a glove would be able to shoot somebody

772
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,320
and not leave a fingerprint.

773
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,640
Watch where you're pointing that thing.

774
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Sorry.

775
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:19,520
Sorry.

776
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,080
Wow.

777
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,640
Really?

778
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,480
And it might have been Dutch Ultsen's pistol,

779
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,760
who always carried a gun.

780
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,760
Look at that, a gangsters gun right there.

781
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,240
Right there.

782
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,440
That's a gangsters gun.

783
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,480
In the Phoenicia Hotel.

784
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,000
This is insane.

785
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,320
There you go.

786
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:30,560
Yes.

787
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,360
That's crazy.

788
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,080
All right.

789
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,600
We've got a lot more to turn here.

790
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,240
The excavators keep digging,

791
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,240
and every scoop of dirt they haul up

792
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,080
will need to be sifted for evidence.

793
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,280
But Steve already has another idea.

794
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,200
Yeah.

795
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,840
So Josh, I think we should leave the guys here

796
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,440
because we got another really hot spot we should go to.

797
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,960
You want to walk away from this?

798
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,760
Yeah.

799
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:54,560
They'll call us.

800
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,280
I promise.

801
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,080
No, they won't.

802
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,040
Look at these two.

803
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,120
Frank, if you find a treasure box, you're going to call me.

804
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,680
That's why I'm looking up condos in the Acapulco right now.

805
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,160
But yeah.

806
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,960
That's what I'm saying.

807
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,360
You're never going to hear from these guys.

808
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,880
So you got another hot spot.

809
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,400
I got another hot spot.

810
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:08,800
Trust me.

811
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,680
You're going to want to see it.

812
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,560
All right, guys, do the right thing.

813
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,440
If you find something, please.

814
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:13,840
We're here.

815
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:14,320
Trust me.

816
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,440
You're on my feet now.

817
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,240
Come on, let's go.

818
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,560
While the excavation team continues their work

819
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,080
at the Phoenicia Hotel,

820
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,480
Steve and Ryan bring me a few miles away

821
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,520
to a place they think could be just as promising

822
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,200
to find Dutch's treasure.

823
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:29,760
How you doing?

824
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,880
I'm doing great.

825
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,000
Tending this unusual bar is Ashley May,

826
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,600
manager of Dutch's Spirits.

827
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,240
I see a lot of booze behind you.

828
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,080
With the word Dutch on it.

829
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:40,560
Yes.

830
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,040
And I see a very intimidating portrait of the man himself.

831
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:43,680
That is Dutch.

832
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,080
So explain this to me.

833
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:46,960
What's happening here?

834
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:47,840
Where are we?

835
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,440
So this is Harvest Homestead Farm,

836
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,800
the home of Dutch's spirits.

837
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,240
And what is Dutch's spirits?

838
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,400
It's a sugar washed moonshine distillery.

839
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040
So you're making the same stuff that Dutch made?

840
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:57,520
Yes.

841
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,440
And on the same property that he did.

842
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:00,720
He was making moonshine here?

843
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,440
Yes, he was.

844
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,760
This was literally his moonshining operation?

845
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,400
Yes.

846
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,600
Now I get why we're here.

847
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,960
We're not just day drinking.

848
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,800
No, this is a great place to be.

849
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,840
Right, because if this is actually the center of his operation.

850
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,360
We're better to look for the treasure.

851
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,000
Exactly.

852
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,440
Here's the part of this I don't get.

853
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,080
How was he running a whole distillery here

854
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,200
without getting shut down?

855
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,480
I mean, how did that happen?

856
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,120
Well, his whole operation was underground, literally.

857
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,400
Like underneath us?

858
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,000
Yes, right below us.

859
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,720
Oh.

860
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:26,880
Yes.

861
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,560
This is not the original distillery.

862
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,360
No, it isn't.

863
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,480
Can we see the original?

864
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,200
Absolutely.

865
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:31,920
I'll take you down there.

866
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,560
Yeah, let's check it out.

867
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:32,720
Come on.

868
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,200
Okay.

869
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,640
Ashley brings us around to the back of the property

870
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,960
to a conspicuously lower elevation.

871
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,800
Josh, you see all this?

872
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,360
Yeah.

873
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,800
This was all buried.

874
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,560
All of this was underground?

875
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:45,040
Yes, it was.

876
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,720
And are those chimneys?

877
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:47,760
Yes.

878
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,840
So when you're distilling, you have to ventilate.

879
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,640
Wow, so this whole thing was his distillery?

880
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:52,880
Yes.

881
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,240
That's crazy.

882
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,160
And so back in the day, what would this have looked like?

883
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,520
This whole thing was a turkey farm.

884
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,040
A turkey farm?

885
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,520
Sure.

886
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,000
Sure it was.

887
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,240
So someone's driving by?

888
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:04,800
Never know.

889
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:05,760
Nothing going on here?

890
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,000
But look at the scale of this.

891
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,880
This is huge.

892
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,400
Remarkably, this facility was only a tiny slice of Dutch's

893
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,280
operation in the Catskills, with others like it

894
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,080
hidden in the mountains, shurning out enough moonshine

895
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,240
to keep the tri-state area good and drunk for almost a decade.

896
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,120
And this is the bunker.

897
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,960
Here we go, into the past.

898
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Whoa, this is insane.

899
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,560
Wow, this is the original bunker.

900
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:37,360
Mm-hmm.

901
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,120
Treasure hunters Steve Zuzulik and Ryan Fizekis

902
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,160
think they've found a lead on mobster Dutch Schultz's

903
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,200
missing fortune, among the ruins of his massive

904
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,480
bootlegging operation.

905
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,560
I can't get my head around how huge this place is.

906
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,160
So what eventually happened here?

907
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,440
It must have gotten shut down.

908
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,280
The feds raided it in 1932.

909
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Okay.

910
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,640
And when they found it, they came in, they found

911
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,200
two 2,000 gallon steels, 1,000 gallons of liquor,

912
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,680
and 10,000 pounds of sugar.

913
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:10,800
Whoa, so huge operation.

914
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,840
This guy was running a major, major empire out of here.

915
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,960
So here's the crazy thing.

916
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,200
Day after Dutch dies, all the cars show up here

917
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,840
with the black suits, mafia, murder ink, who knows.

918
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,960
But there was definitely something here that they wanted.

919
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,120
And did they find what they were looking for?

920
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,240
I heard they got scared off.

921
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,600
Okay.

922
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,560
But somebody was interested in something here.

923
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,360
Like big time.

924
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,400
Okay.

925
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,400
So is this bunker the extent of what was here as big as this is?

926
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:40,800
Oh, no.

927
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,640
There are tunnels all over the property.

928
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,680
And they had to move the liquor.

929
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,800
They had to move their ingredients inside.

930
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,440
So and have those tunnels been explored?

931
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,960
So it's a maze of tunnels.

932
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,480
Some of them have been explored, but we don't really know to the extent.

933
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,760
And they are where?

934
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Right over here.

935
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,280
This is a tunnel?

936
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,360
An entrance to one of the tunnels.

937
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,320
Have you been down there?

938
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,040
No.

939
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,080
You just have to just lift the door?

940
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:04,880
Just lift this up.

941
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,480
Oh, boy.

942
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,200
Oh, come on.

943
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,280
That's the entrance to the tunnel?

944
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,280
You're going to have to crawl in there.

945
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,960
Are we doing this?

946
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:15,600
Let's do it.

947
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:15,760
Yeah.

948
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,720
All right, Ashley, you keep the moonshine cold.

949
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:19,360
All right.

950
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:19,920
All right.

951
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:20,480
We'll be back.

952
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:21,680
Wait.

953
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:29,840
Okay.

954
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,320
We ready?

955
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:31,520
Yeah.

956
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:32,400
Okay.

957
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:32,800
Here we go.

958
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,960
These tunnels were a secret underground highway where illegal

959
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,680
booze could be transported under the property.

960
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,320
Who knows what kind of maze is under our feet or what could be living down there.

961
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,280
So it goes straight back.

962
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,200
I can see that about 20 feet down there's some sort of pipe that bisects the tunnel.

963
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,680
And then beyond that, maybe 30 or 40 feet down, it looks like a shaft of light.

964
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,920
So you think there's another way in?

965
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,680
Well, there's definitely a sliver of light coming through.

966
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:00,240
So maybe.

967
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,240
Okay.

968
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:03,920
Time to shimmy.

969
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:04,080
Yeah.

970
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,000
Can somebody heat up a stick of butter for me, please?

971
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:08,720
Claire?

972
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,680
Okay.

973
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,240
There you go.

974
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,080
There you go.

975
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:16,560
You got it.

976
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:18,320
Okay.

977
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,280
I'm through.

978
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,240
He's in like Flynn.

979
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:21,920
Okay.

980
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,200
I'm in.

981
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,640
How's the look down there?

982
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:25,120
It's great.

983
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:25,840
You're going to love it.

984
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,680
It definitely goes back.

985
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,760
I don't know, 60 feet or so.

986
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,840
Looks fairly stable in here at least.

987
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,360
Fairly stable.

988
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,160
You guys want to come down?

989
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,120
Yeah.

990
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,080
Steven Ryan climb in after me and hand over my trusty metal detector.

991
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Thank God I only had half that rot for lunch.

992
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:45,360
Okay.

993
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:46,720
All right.

994
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:47,600
Welcome everybody.

995
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,200
All the piping in here looks really old.

996
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,680
I don't think anyone's been down here in a while.

997
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,120
With slightly more room to breathe, we're able to actively search the tunnel.

998
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,960
Lots of bones down here.

999
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:00,640
Animal parts.

1000
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:00,960
Gross.

1001
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,280
Nothing up here.

1002
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:11,360
Ryan, you see anything up there?

1003
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:12,720
Nothing yet.

1004
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,000
Check this out.

1005
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,120
What do you have?

1006
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:16,640
Oh, look at that.

1007
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,480
The top of an old jug.

1008
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:20,800
That is so cool.

1009
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,200
This could literally be a bottle of bootleg moonshine.

1010
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:23,440
Yeah.

1011
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,840
Piece of Prohibition history right there.

1012
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,680
Our discovery has us feeling intoxicated at the thought of what else could be down here.

1013
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,320
And we keep scanning every inch of the tunnel.

1014
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:36,880
Oh, I got a good hit over here.

1015
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,240
What?

1016
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:38,560
Yeah.

1017
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,120
You do?

1018
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:39,840
Yeah.

1019
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,400
What do you got?

1020
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,800
That's a coin.

1021
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,160
Get out of here.

1022
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,040
Are you kidding me?

1023
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,360
That is a coin.

1024
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:47,760
Dude.

1025
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,600
Unbelievable.

1026
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,480
Look at this.

1027
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,600
Yeah, it's silver.

1028
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:52,160
Damn right.

1029
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:52,720
It's silver.

1030
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:53,680
Look at how clean it is.

1031
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:55,040
Eagle on the back,

1032
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,040
E. Pluribus unum, United States of America.

1033
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,120
This is a half dollar, yeah?

1034
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Yeah.

1035
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:00,880
A walking liberty.

1036
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,800
Walking liberty.

1037
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:08,320
Other than being worn though, it's just absolutely incredible the condition it's in.

1038
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,000
Anyone know walking liberty years?

1039
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,080
Roughly 1915, 1916 till the late 40s.

1040
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,200
So we're in the period here?

1041
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:15,760
Like 100%.

1042
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:16,160
Definitely.

1043
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:16,640
Definitely.

1044
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,000
I mean right in the period here.

1045
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:18,320
Yeah.

1046
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,480
So there is definitely people coming through these tunnels with money in their pockets.

1047
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,320
I mean come on.

1048
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,240
That is so dope.

1049
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,800
Okay, the first of many I hope.

1050
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Amen.

1051
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Let's keep looking.

1052
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:30,400
Come on.

1053
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:37,600
In the darkness just ahead of us, we realize our tunnel singular has just turned into tunnel's plural.

1054
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,880
Josh, we got a ladder here.

1055
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:39,200
What?

1056
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,000
Oh, look at that.

1057
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,000
Where does that go up to?

1058
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,560
I can't see where it goes, but...

1059
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,240
Let's try up the ladder and then we can continue forward after.

1060
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,760
Sounds like a plan.

1061
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:50,480
All right, give it a whirl.

1062
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,120
Let's see what you got.

1063
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,280
Ryan leads the way with Steve and I close behind.

1064
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,080
All right, coming up.

1065
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:00,240
Look at this.

1066
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,440
It's like a hallway.

1067
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,160
Dude, there is a door here.

1068
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:07,280
Whoa.

1069
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,000
Look at this thing.

1070
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:09,840
Holy.

1071
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,280
Look at the size of the door.

1072
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,680
Look at the size of the hinges.

1073
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,800
And this, right?

1074
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,680
The cutout.

1075
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,640
This is the kind of thing you put in a door when you're trying to control access to it.

1076
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,080
You know, if you've got something in here and you want to control who's coming through.

1077
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,280
Okay, here, can you pull that?

1078
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:29,200
Oh, wow.

1079
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:31,440
This is crazy.

1080
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,200
Also, guys, what's the password?

1081
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:36,960
Dutch.

1082
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,520
That's correct.

1083
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:41,120
Wow.

1084
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,880
It's huge.

1085
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,240
Look at this brick.

1086
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:48,960
What do you think this is?

1087
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,160
Definitely part of the oven or furnace.

1088
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:52,720
Totally, right?

1089
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:54,240
This could have been a chimney or something.

1090
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:57,120
Looks like we got something boarded up there that might have been vents.

1091
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,760
And they were cooking moonshine in here.

1092
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:00,320
Right.

1093
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,440
Oh, yeah, for sure.

1094
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,040
It looks like it's bomb proof.

1095
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,320
I was just thinking the same thing.

1096
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,560
I mean, look at the thickness of this concrete.

1097
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:07,360
It's insane.

1098
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,200
You wouldn't get in here.

1099
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,960
No, you wouldn't get in here at all.

1100
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,960
No treasure, no moonshine left behind.

1101
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,720
Back down the ladder.

1102
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:15,280
I think so.

1103
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,240
Why it just keeps going and going.

1104
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,840
The maze we're lost in was once traveled by Dutch

1105
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,880
and his gang of bootleggers as they distilled Hoech

1106
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,640
and moved it secretly beneath the farm to who knows where.

1107
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,120
But that's not to say they didn't leave anything behind.

1108
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,320
Oh, I got something good here.

1109
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:34,800
You do?

1110
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:35,040
Yeah.

1111
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:39,280
Get the out of here.

1112
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:41,360
Are you kidding me?

1113
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,360
It's like a whole pocket watch.

1114
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:43,760
Really?

1115
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,200
This is insane.

1116
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,000
Come here.

1117
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:46,400
Look at this.

1118
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,640
This is crazy.

1119
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,280
You got to be kidding me.

1120
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:51,760
Look at this.

1121
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,800
Oh my god, look at that.

1122
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:55,200
Crazy.

1123
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,600
And it says West clock?

1124
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:01,520
Dax?

1125
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,000
Like, like think it like there's guys going through there

1126
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,760
with this stuff on their bodies.

1127
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:06,880
Like this is period.

1128
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,000
It's definitely another piece to the puzzle of what's going on

1129
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,440
here in this tunnel system.

1130
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,080
Incredible.

1131
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:15,680
Look at that.

1132
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Like have you noticed like the farther we get deeper

1133
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,600
the better the finds are.

1134
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,640
It's incredible.

1135
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,520
Absolutely.

1136
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,200
So let's keep going.

1137
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,920
We continue down the tunnel and there's a lot of continuing to go.

1138
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,520
Can we have chiropractors in this town?

1139
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:35,760
Okay.

1140
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:42,400
Oh, oh, guys, just found another huge tunnel.

1141
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,720
Goes as far as the eye can see.

1142
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,240
I'm not kidding.

1143
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:47,600
This is starting to get crazy.

1144
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,520
If you look at this.

1145
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,080
Oh wow.

1146
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:52,720
Insane, right?

1147
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:54,160
How's that possible?

1148
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Look at it.

1149
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:56,160
Look at that.

1150
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,880
I don't even feel like I'm in New York anymore.

1151
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,040
No, no, we're in the pyramids now.

1152
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,720
I mean it's sloping uphill.

1153
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:03,200
What do you think?

1154
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,720
You go that way and Steve and I will go this way

1155
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:08,160
and then we'll meet you up top.

1156
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,560
You're less excited about going on the uphill tunnel?

1157
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,640
Well, I know it travels downhill.

1158
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,280
Is it someone's got to go up there?

1159
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,480
What do you think, split up?

1160
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:19,360
Rock, paper, scissors?

1161
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:20,640
Odd man out.

1162
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,000
It's one, two, three shoot.

1163
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,080
One, two, three shoot.

1164
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,400
Oh, that's a tough break, man.

1165
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,360
I never win.

1166
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,560
Okay, good luck.

1167
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:28,880
Yeah.

1168
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:29,280
All right.

1169
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:29,760
All right.

1170
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:30,240
I'll let you know.

1171
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:30,560
Be safe, man.

1172
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,040
Here we go.

1173
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:31,680
That's for us.

1174
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,120
Back into the darkness.

1175
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,840
Steve, here we go.

1176
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,320
Let's go.

1177
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:41,840
Oh, ****.

1178
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:42,160
Hold on.

1179
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:42,560
Look at this.

1180
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:44,800
What the hell is this?

1181
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,400
Dude, do you see this?

1182
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:46,640
Yeah.

1183
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:48,240
What is that?

1184
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:48,800
Is that a room?

1185
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,520
What is a whole room?

1186
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:53,520
Oh, ****.

1187
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,240
Before diving into the tunnels beneath Dutch's spirits,

1188
00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:03,920
I felt I had to conduct some critical historical research

1189
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,720
about the sugar wash moonshine they make here today.

1190
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,040
Ooh, smells strong.

1191
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:10,320
Cheers.

1192
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:10,880
Let him up.

1193
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:11,280
Cheers.

1194
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:11,680
Here we go.

1195
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:13,280
Smooth.

1196
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:18,080
Smooth.

1197
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,120
First of all, it's great.

1198
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,440
Second of all, it's strong.

1199
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:25,200
Wow.

1200
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,040
That is excellent.

1201
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:27,600
Thank you.

1202
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,800
Because this is the thing with moonshine.

1203
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,240
Everyone tells you it's going to be great.

1204
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:31,200
Oh, we make moonshine.

1205
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,280
And a lot of times it's like gasoline.

1206
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:34,640
That's strong.

1207
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:35,360
No, this is drinkable.

1208
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:35,840
But it actually is.

1209
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,600
It's really, really tasty.

1210
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:40,640
I should probably have just one more or like 20 more of those.

1211
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,800
Be careful.

1212
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:45,520
You see it?

1213
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:45,920
I do.

1214
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,000
In the Catskill Mountains, a massive network of tunnels

1215
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000
dating back to prohibition might be the hiding place of a trunk

1216
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,360
said to contain Dutch Schultz's long lost millions.

1217
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,720
Oh my god.

1218
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,120
What is that?

1219
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,800
I don't know what it is, man.

1220
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,680
A raccoon, maybe?

1221
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:07,040
Whoa.

1222
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,600
My concern is that this whole floor here looks like it's about to give way above us.

1223
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,960
It's given way.

1224
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:13,360
Totally.

1225
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,600
I mean, it's just being held up by the debris now.

1226
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,680
So I don't know what the hell this is.

1227
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,440
I think we should stick to this concrete wall.

1228
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:20,320
Yeah, for sure.

1229
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,040
And just try to hug the corner and I wouldn't touch any of this.

1230
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,000
It looks like it's all going to fall.

1231
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:24,480
Yeah.

1232
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:29,520
This is crazy.

1233
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,040
Holy hell.

1234
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:37,680
I think we're in a house.

1235
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,600
This is outdoors.

1236
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:40,480
And we lost the lights.

1237
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:40,880
Dark out.

1238
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,800
That's a tree.

1239
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,360
God, this place just never ends.

1240
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,360
It is crazy.

1241
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:48,400
There's a trunk in here.

1242
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:50,640
There's a trunk.

1243
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,120
Yeah.

1244
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:51,600
Look at that.

1245
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:52,960
It's amazing, dude.

1246
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:53,680
Look at this.

1247
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,840
There is literally a trunk in here.

1248
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,880
You can't, I mean, I can't even step there because I'll go right into that base.

1249
00:44:58,880 --> 00:44:59,520
Yeah, you can see.

1250
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,240
Look at the floor.

1251
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,040
You got to be careful.

1252
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:08,960
Anything?

1253
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:10,960
Just spider webs.

1254
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,920
I think this house is as old as the distillery.

1255
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:14,560
Obviously it is.

1256
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,080
The tunnels come into it.

1257
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,280
But it must have been remodeled over time and somebody must have been living in it

1258
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,640
until eventually it was abandoned.

1259
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,600
Originally, I bet you this was part of that whole labyrinth.

1260
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,840
There was a whole reason this place was here.

1261
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,640
For sure.

1262
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:26,880
Right.

1263
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,480
Let's get out of here before this whole thing collapses.

1264
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,000
This is a house, dude.

1265
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,040
This is a house.

1266
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:33,440
Look at this.

1267
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,360
It's like a huge overgrown house.

1268
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,200
The fact that a tunnel is going to the basement,

1269
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,280
this must have been a secret.

1270
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:40,560
Escape.

1271
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,120
Escape or a secret place to move booze in and out.

1272
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,880
Like this was part of the operation.

1273
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,000
Illegally moving stuff.

1274
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:46,880
I mean, it must have been.

1275
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:47,520
Had to be.

1276
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:48,000
Right?

1277
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:48,640
Yeah.

1278
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,680
But where are we in reference to the distillery?

1279
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:52,320
No idea.

1280
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:52,880
Are we near it?

1281
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,600
So there it is.

1282
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,040
So there's the distillery right there.

1283
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,720
It's crazy.

1284
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:04,320
So we went all the way under this.

1285
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:05,360
The whole way.

1286
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:06,480
All the way to here.

1287
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,920
Under the road, all the way here.

1288
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:08,400
Yep.

1289
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,440
Hey Josh, did you copy?

1290
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,400
Go for Josh.

1291
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:12,800
What's up?

1292
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,080
Yeah, I've got on the outside of the tunnel here.

1293
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,880
It actually comes out of the side of the distillery.

1294
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:19,600
You're not going to believe this.

1295
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,800
We punched out into the basement of a house.

1296
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,040
There's an old house on the edge of the property.

1297
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,160
We came out in there and we literally just walked out

1298
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:28,800
the front door.

1299
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,040
So we're going to make our way back toward the distillery.

1300
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,160
Break open the moonshine for us.

1301
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:32,960
Will you please?

1302
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:33,920
Sounds like a plan.

1303
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:34,480
Let's go drink.

1304
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:34,720
Come on.

1305
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:35,280
Okay, man.

1306
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,560
That's incredible.

1307
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:36,960
Amazing.

1308
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,240
Having spent the night exploring the tunnels beneath

1309
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:43,120
Dutch's distillery, we managed to haul several

1310
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,960
historic treasures into the light.

1311
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,880
Evidence of moonshining, artifacts from the period,

1312
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,120
and even cold hard cash, though it's not enough to retire on.

1313
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,840
But Steve and Ryan's search at the ruins of the

1314
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,720
Phoenicia Hotel where we catalogued several other

1315
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:00,160
finds continues.

1316
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,720
Who knows what could be next?

1317
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,920
It is often said that crime doesn't occur

1318
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,840
Well, it did for Dutch Schultz, at least for a while.

1319
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,200
His life of violence, bootlegging, and corruption

1320
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,360
cut short by the gun of a rival.

1321
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,840
Dutch Schultz's wealth was and remains alluring.

1322
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,280
But the story of his life is clearly a cautionary tale.

1323
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,880
America, though, is a land of second chances.

1324
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,920
Recreational alcohol got one as prohibition was

1325
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,800
repealed to a claim in 1933.

1326
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,480
That joyous boozy moment marked the end of one era

1327
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,680
for organized crime, even as a century of fighting

1328
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,440
other illegal drugs would follow.

1329
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:45,280
And now Dutch Schultz too has enjoyed a new life

1330
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,760
in books, films, and legend.

1331
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,760
Dutch's crime may pay yet again, only this time

1332
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,920
the payout will belong to some smart,

1333
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,640
dogged, and lucky treasure hunter.
