00:00How do you feel about going under a house today?
00:04Feeling compact.
00:05Compact?
00:06Let's go do it.
00:07All right.
00:08Babe, that is an alligator.
00:10I can see its head right there.
00:11You're right, Lauren.
00:12You've got an alligator under here,
00:13and you've got two cats, too.
00:15And they're just hanging out together?
00:16Yeah.
00:17There's no doubt about it.
00:18When I hear alligator under a house,
00:21you know, I'm hoping it's a beach house.
00:23Not the case here.
00:24We get here, and seriously, that was 26 inches
00:27for us to work under.
00:28And not only that, some of those big beams
00:31took 12 inches of that away.
00:33I would rather rope this alligator looking away from us,
00:36because it's dangerous looking at you,
00:38and he comes forward.
00:39You don't get that rope sense.
00:40He's on your face.
00:42Yep.
00:43Oh, there went the cat right there.
00:45Look, there it is.
00:46There's the cat.
00:47The cat just ran out.
00:48All right, there's one that's out.
00:49There's two right there.
00:50Oh, they're both right there?
00:51Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
00:52Good deal.
00:53We got the cats out anyway.
00:59I'll be damned.
01:00Look right here.
01:01That's where he came in from.
01:03Look at his tracks right here.
01:04Both feet right there.
01:06Ooh, is this a bad time to mention I'm claustrophobic?
01:10Vincent.
01:11Yes?
01:12Stop.
01:13OK.
01:14I need you to stay still.
01:15Me and Shannon are going to try to push it to you.
01:17Yeah.
01:18Man, don't you miss.
01:20Yes, sir.
01:21That alligator's totally in his element.
01:23We're all three laying down on our bellies.
01:25We got no room to work.
01:26But the alligator does.
01:28Lots of wires.
01:29Over on this side.
01:31When they're building houses,
01:32sometimes they'll put a nail through something.
01:34Watch those electrical lines.
01:36Pay attention to what you're crawling over.
01:38All right.
01:40Everybody, we're all about four foot away from him
01:42with these sticks.
01:43I'm going to push him on his tail.
01:45When I first touch this alligator,
01:47we're going to find out what he's all about.
01:49Here we go.
01:50If he runs at you so fast that you can't get a lasso,
01:53you hit him with that stick.
01:55Will do.
01:56OK?
01:57OK.
01:58Here we go.
02:03Nope.
02:04To you.
02:05It's coming to you.
02:06What I'm trying to do is,
02:07I'm trying to get my team members on the sides of him
02:10while he's looking at me.
02:11If I can hold him right here,
02:13Vincent's going to be able to get a lasso,
02:15and I'm going to be able to get a stick.
02:17If I can hold him right here,
02:19Vincent's got the best angle to rope his jaw.
02:22Keep making your way, Vincent.
02:24Good job.
02:26Good job.
02:27Now, that tail's going to be in your face,
02:29and that's going to hurt, but...
02:30Yeah.
02:31That's all right.
02:32You can take one for the team, right?
02:33Anything for you, Gary.
02:35Now, look, I know you're in a bad spot.
02:37Uh-oh.
02:38That's not what I wanted.
02:41Hey, can you take that top jaw?
02:43At this point, we'll take anything we can.
02:45I might be able to.
02:46I might be able to.
02:48Top jaw that sucker if you can.
02:50Good job.
02:51Look out, he's at you.
02:53Put it all the way around the back.
02:55The back.
02:56Now, good job.
02:57Now sit tight.
02:58Oh, it came off.
02:59Nope, nope, nope.
03:00Oof.
03:01All right, I'm coming up from behind.
03:04Shannon, what do you want to do?
03:06I'm going to be right here when he turns.
03:08Hey, let's try to go under the neck.
03:10I don't like what just happened.
03:11Let me raise his mouth for you.
03:14Let's get under the jaw.
03:16Under it.
03:17All the way to the neck.
03:18There you go.
03:19Now, stay tight.
03:20Hey, hey, we're not in a hurry.
03:22We're not in a hurry now.
03:23Hey, use that pull to your advantage.
03:24Don't let him come at you.
03:26Yep.
03:27All right, Vincent, Shannon's going to get out.
03:28Shannon, get out.
03:29I'm getting out.
03:30I got the rope.
03:31I'm going to start slowly backing out.
03:34You got the ledge underneath you right now.
03:36Yep.
03:37You got it, though.
03:38Look at you.
03:39I'm compact.
03:40Like I said, I wasn't lying.
03:41All right, here we go.
03:42Listen, guys, the last part of this danger
03:45don't let him bite an electrical wire.
03:47He's going to roll.
03:48We know that.
03:50Go ahead.
03:51Just slow.
03:52Easy.
03:53Easy.
03:54Slow.
03:55In a second, when I can get us out,
03:56I'm going to get us out, too.
03:57That's right.
03:58When y'all can back out, back out.
03:59All right, we can back out some, Vince.
04:02Watch in front of you.
04:05Just pull a little more.
04:07Just a little.
04:08Easy.
04:09Nice.
04:10Good.
04:11Keep that speed.
04:12All right, back out.
04:13I don't want him slamming his head
04:14into these concrete posts.
04:15All right, I'm coming out.
04:18All right, Vince, I got it.
04:19Get out, and I'll let you have the rope.
04:21This one's all you, boy.
04:23This one's all you.
04:24There you go.
04:25Get it.
04:26Lauren's husband's a deputy sheriff here locally.
04:28Lauren calls her husband.
04:29He's on duty, and he shows up.
04:31Obviously, you can imagine having an alligator
04:32under your house is a pretty big deal.
04:34Watch when he comes out.
04:35He doesn't lunge at you.
04:39There you go.
04:40Whoo!
04:41Outstanding.
04:42That was really good.
04:43I know that Vince has gone through a lot of the training
04:45at Gator Country.
04:46I put him through something.
04:47That training today paid off immensely for me
04:51because I knew he knew what to do.
04:54We've been here before, maybe not under a house.
04:56Make no mistake, training is absolutely essential.
