HE ALSO OWNS CLAIMS UPSTREAM, CLOSE TO A NEIGHBOR'S AIRSTRIP.

OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS,

HE'S LEASED A NUMBER OF CLAIMS TO PARKER,

AND WITH THESE CLAIMS, HE HANDED OVER THE WATER LICENSE,

WHICH GOES ALL THE WAY TO HIS CAMP.

Kevin: YEAH. MAKE IT WORK.

AND YOU HAVE TO BE NICE, SERIOUSLY.

SO I'M NOT GONNA GET YOUR PERMISSION

TO PULL WATER FROM YOUR PROPERTY?

Narrator: LAST SEASON,

TONY DENIED PARKER ACCESS TO WATER,

STOPPING HIM FROM MINING HIS OWN GROUND.

THIS YEAR, TONY'S ONLY OPTION DEPENDS ON PARKER

AGREEING TO SHARE HIS WATER LICENSE.

Parker: NOT TOO BAD. COFFEE?

HOW WAS YOUR WINTER?

WE'RE DEFINITELY UP AGAINST IT WITH THESE LICENSING ISSUES.

♪♪

YEAH.

OH, NOW WE'RE BUDDYING UP?

WHAT HAPPENED LAST SPRING, TONY?

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT THAT...

BASICALLY, I'VE GOT CONTROL WHETHER YOU CAN MINE OR NOT.

GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON

NOT TO TELL YOU TO GO [BLEEP] YOURSELF.
