00:00There's a broken piece of concrete right where I need to pull this alligator up.

00:06I'm in a bad position.

00:07I can't take his mouth right there.

00:09These two kids I got with me are, I mean, they're okay, but this is dangerous.

00:14Here's that truck.

00:18One rope has got to come off.

00:19I have no choice.

00:21So let's take the tail rope off.

00:23We got to join these two ropes to reach it to the truck.

00:26In this situation, because of this steep embankment, I'm going to release this alligator's

00:29tail and I'm going to get him by the neck so I've got a really good grip.

00:33Go that way.

00:34You keep him off of me.

00:37Okay.

00:38Don't you let him turn around and hit me.

00:40He's not going to.

00:41Give me slack.

00:42All right.

00:43I got it.

00:44You ready?

00:45Ready.

00:46You're good.

00:47Go.

00:48He's rolling.

00:49What's going on?

00:50He rolled.

00:51That's okay.

00:52He's good.

00:53You're good.

00:54Is his mouth closed?

00:55Yes.

00:56It's closed.

00:57My concern is that the alligator is going to open his mouth and get his bottom jaw stuck

01:13on the concrete while I continue to pull him.

01:16I would have completely ripped his jaw off.

01:18Come on, big boy.

01:19Walk up there.

01:20You're good.

01:21You're good.

01:22I know, but this angle.

01:23I got two tires not touching.

01:24The angle that my truck is at, it's a dangerous situation.

01:27It could roll at any moment.

01:28Come on.

01:29Work with us.

01:30Lift him up.

01:31Come on, boy.

01:32I'm worried about that lip.

01:33Perfect.

01:34Damn, I hate to have to do that to him on that hill, man, but I had no choice.

01:44You got tape?

01:45Yes, sir.

01:46I got tape right here.

01:47Come on.

01:48Standby, Eddie.

01:49Yes, sir.

01:50Standby.

01:51Eddie, I can't give you much room.

01:52You're going to have to work.

01:53You're going to have to work right there.

01:54Go.

01:55Stretch it, Eddie.

01:56Stretch it.

01:57Stretch it.

01:58All right, I'm going to finish.

01:59Good job.

02:00All right.

02:01You're going to have to work right there, go.

02:03Stretch it, Eddie.

02:04Let's get this over with.

02:05Stretch it.

02:06Stretch it.

02:08All right, I finished.

02:11Good job.

02:12All right, let's work fast.

02:14Let's get these feet taped up.

02:16Man, this is a beast.

02:17It's a good one for sure.

02:21Here comes a problem.

02:23I do not want to carry this animal.

02:24Hey, go get a bucket.

02:25Go get a bag, something with water.

02:27Keep water on him.

02:28Use my shoe if you want.

02:30I don't know how good it's going to hold water, but...

02:37Poor dude.

02:39Now that we have him taped up and ready to go,

02:41we still got some heavy lifting to do.

02:45Man, that's a long way up there.

02:47I know.

02:48Hey, I only want to do this once, man.

02:49Yes, sir.

02:50I don't want to have to re-pick him up.

02:51Give me all you got.

02:52Will do.

02:53Ready?

02:54I'm ready.

02:55One, two, three, come on.

02:56Come on, all you got.

02:57Come on, Eddie.

02:58Come on, Eddie.

02:59Get down where it's low.

03:00Get in the truck, Eddie.

03:01Come on.

03:02Get in the truck, Eddie.

03:03Hold him, hold him.

03:04Yep, we're good.

03:05Hurry, Eddie.

03:06Come on.

03:07Hurry up, Eddie.

03:08Come on.

03:09Come on, Eddie.

03:10Push.

03:11Hey, push.

03:14Give me that tail.

03:15Close that.

03:19We're going to pick up everything.

03:21You good, Gary?

03:22Yeah.

03:24Hey, I think you got a shoe down there that you need to grab.

03:28I'm getting way too old for this.

03:30Thank God there's kids nowadays.

03:32You hear that?

03:33I think he called us kids.

03:34I think he did.
