In this high-stakes episode of Wardens, Montana’s law enforcement officers face life-saving emergencies and blatant dishonesty. In Region 4, Warden Brian Goalie races against time following a harrowing dispatch: a young boy is a drift and alone in a jet boat on the freezing Missouri River. Watch as the rescue unfolds and see how a routine boat launch turned into a near-tragedy. The action shifts to Georgetown Lake, where Warden Terry Alouse uses high-powered optics to catch anglers fishing in a critical spawning sanctuary closed to the public. Back on the Missouri, Warden Goalie encounters a suspicious fishing party whose stories don't add up. Witness an intense interrogation as Goalie tracks down a "hidden" third angler who fled into the brush to hide illegal gear. Finally, we go behind the scenes of Swiftwater Rescue Training on the Kootenai River, where wardens learn the "live bait" technique to save victims from deadly river strainers.
