LONG AS IT'S NOT TOWARDS ME.
Johnathan: THE MERRY CHRISTMAS THING -- THAT'S ALL OVER WITH.
[ CHUCKLES .]
HE HIT ME WITH A TOTE.
NOT THAT IT HURT, BUT STILL, DUDE.
I BELIEVE WE WILL DELIVER ON TIME WITH A FULL LOAD.
IF WE DON'T MOVE FAST ENOUGH, WE CAN'T HAUL ALL THE GEAR.
FEEL LIKE I'M [BLEEP.]
WASTING TIME OVER HERE.
IF YOU AIN'T MOVING, I GOT A FRESH FISH THAT'S COMING FOR YOU.
I GOT EYES ALL AROUND HERE.
PRETTY SURE I'M DOING MY JOB.
IF JOHNATHAN HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT, THEN HE'LL SAY SOMETHING.
LIKE, THE OTHER GUYS WILL SAY SOMETHING.

JUST TRYING TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE, 'CAUSE I WANT -- I LOVE THIS JOB, AND HE IS RUINING IT FOR ME.
PHILLIP BETTER SHUT THE [BLEEP.]
UP AND NOT -- AND JUST TAKE IT.
I NEED DANNY MORE THAN PHILLIP.
JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE MY NEPHEW DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN SIT THERE AND YELL AT A VETERAN, WHICH HAS AN ATTITUDE, BUT WHO GIVES A [BLEEP.]
IT'S FINE.
I'M JUST GONNA BE CHILL.
CHILLY OPILIO.

IT'S GONNA BE A LONG [BLEEP.]
TRIP.
Danny: YOU WANT ME TO RUN OVER THERE AND CHECK YOU AND PUT YOU ON THE FLOOR? THAT'S NOT HOW YOU STUFF SOMETHING [BLEEP.]
GRAB THE BAIT AND PUT IT IN THERE.
WHAT? WHAT? FASTER, FASTER, FASTER.
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]

IT'S [BLEEP.]
BULL[BLEEP.]
LITTLE PUNK KID.
KEEP WALKING AROUND AND LETTING EVERYBODY ELSE CARRY YOUR WEIGHT.
I'LL BE YOU THAT FEELS REAL GOOD.
I'M GONNA [BLEEP.]

THAT'S JUST [BLEEP.]
RIDICULOUS.

GOT A BUNCH OF BABIES ON HERE.
JUST DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER.
GET THROUGH THE TRIP, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GET THE [BLEEP.]
OFF OF THIS BOAT.
PRETTY MUCH THE CHRISTMAS DREAM RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON JAKE ANDERSON AND A VERY PREGNANT JENNA CHECK IN ON THEIR BABY'S PROGRESS.
[ ULTRASOUND WARBLING .]
SOUNDS PERFECT.
THAT'S CRAZY.
LITTLE TROUBLEMAKER IN THERE.
I THINK WOMEN ARE A LOT TOUGHER THAN MEN.
I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD HANDLE THIS.
ALL RIGHT.
JENNA'S PROBABLY GONNA GO INTO LABOR IN THE NEXT WEEK.
YOU COULD START HAVING CONTRACTIONS TONIGHT.
YOU COULD START HAVING CONTRACTIONS, THEY COULD GO AWAY.
IT SORT OF ALL DEPENDS ON KIND OF WHEN YOUR BODY'S READY.
Jake: I WANT TO HEAR IT'S ON ITS WAY OUT.
THE BOAT WANTS ME TO FLY WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS.
IN JUST TWO DAYS, JAKE IS SCHEDULED TO REPORT FOR DUTY AS CAPTAIN OF THE SAGA.
SO, I'M TRYING TO REMAIN CALM, BUT, UH, DEEP DOWN INSIDE, I'M JUST -- I AM A WRECK.
I'LL BET.
I MEAN, THIS IS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, GONNA BE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE.
I THOUGHT WE COULD INDUCE.
LIKE, "OH, YEAH, YOU KNOW, GIVE HER SOME PILLS AND" THERE'S NO MEDICAL INDICATION TO INDUCE YOU BEFORE 41 WEEKS.
YOU SAID, SARA, THAT I COULD BE THE ONE THAT HANDS HER THE BABY AND CUTS THE UMBILICAL CORD, AND I'M GONNA BE DISAPPOINTED IF I MISS THAT BECAUSE -- IT'S JUST THAT IF THERE'S NOT A MEDICAL INDICATION FOR DOING IT, WHY WOULD WE -- THIS IS A MEDICAL INDICATION RIGHT HERE! [ LAUGHTER .]
HIS MENTAL HEALTH IS A MEDICAL INDICATION.
EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M CRAZY! I AM JUST HOPING IN DUTCH HARBOR EVERYTHING'S PRETTY MUCH READY.
I MEAN, WE'RE PRETTY MUCH READY.
WE JUST NEED TO GET GOING HERE.
THERE'S NO REASON TO STICK AROUND IN TOWN.
I WANT TO GO.
Narrator: ON THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN Sig: UH, IT'S THE END OF DECEMBER.
WE'VE GOT AN EARLY DELIVERY DATE, AND I WANT TO GET A JUMP-START ON THE WHOLE SEASON, IF I CAN.
Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN PREPARES TO EMBARK ON AN EARLY OPILIO TRIP Sig: THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
WE'VE GOT A NEW CREW.
Narrator: WITHOUT TWO OF HIS TRUSTED DECKHANDS.
MATT IS AT HOME RIGHT NOW.
HE'S OFF THE BOAT.
JAKE HAS A KID ON THE WAY.
HE ASKED IF HE COULD TAKE A TRIP OFF HERE.
NEED SOME HELP! AND BADGER TOOK HIS SPOT.
HE WAS ON THE SAGA.
I KNOW THAT THERE'S SUBSTANCE-ABUSE ISSUES IN HIS LIFE.
AS LONG AS HE CAN STAY CLEAN, HE'S A GOOD DECKHAND, AND THAT'S WHAT I NEED.
GOOD! THANK GOD EDGAR'S BACK.
WE MISSED YOU.
Narrator: AFTER BEING SIDELINED WITH A DEGENERATIVE SPINAL INJURY, DECK BOSS EDGAR HANSEN IS BACK IN THE GAME.
HOW DO YOU FEEL? GOOD.
FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS.
IRREVERSIBLE, BUT Sig: I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS COMING BACK OR NOT, SO THAT'S GOOD TO HAVE HIM HERE.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM, AS WELL.
LOSING JAKE WAS BAD ENOUGH, AND MATT, YOU KNOW? DON'T BE FOOLED BY AGE.
WE'RE TOUGHER THAN 23-YEAR-OLDS.
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
MOST OF THE BOATS ARE STILL IN TOWN HERE.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GUYS OUT THERE FISHING.
I THINK JOHN MIGHT BE OUT THERE ALREADY, AND I KNOW BILL WAS COMING UP PRETTY SOON.
I WANT TO JUST GO.
WE'LL SPEND OUR NEW YEAR'S OUT THERE, AND SO BE IT.
IT'S OVERRATED ANYWAY, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
[ BIRD CALLS .]
Narrator: ACROSS THE DOCK SITS THE 118-FOOT CAPE CAUTION.
HEY, ZACK.
YOU CAN'T SEE [BLEEP.]
YOU CAN'T DRIVE THE BOAT FROM OVER HERE.
YOU CAN SEE BETTER ON THIS SIDE THAN YOU CAN SEE ON THAT SIDE.
YOU WANT TO MOVE THESE THREE POTS? YEP.
FIRE UP THE MAINS.
WE'LL REDO THIS [BLEEP.]
ON THE WAY OUT.
Narrator: AND CAPTAIN "WILD" BILL WICHROWSKI -- HE'S ALSO READY TO THROW LINES.
TRYING TO BE OFFICIAL.
CAPTAIN BILL'S CRANKY.
I'M CONFUSED WHY IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THE GEAR ON.
WE HAD FIVE GUYS.
YOU WOULD THINK WE WOULD BE QUICKER AND MORE EFFICIENT, BUT NOW I'M HOPING THAT THESE GUYS FALL IN ORDER PRETTY QUICK.
Narrator: THIS OPILIO SEASON, THE CAPE CAUTION WILL BREAK IN THREE NEW HANDS.
WELL, WE GOT DIRTY.
YOU GOT DIRTY.
AND OLD MAN ADAM.
TIME TO START MAKING MONEY.
AND SOME GUY FROM NEW YORK.
YEAH.
SEE HOW LONG HE LASTS.
[ CHUCKLES .]
Narrator: THE NEW GREENHORN ON BOARD IS A 19-YEAR-OLD BARBACK FROM NEW YORK CITY, JOHN WALCHEK.
HEY, JOHN, DID BEING A BARBACK PREPARE YOU FOR THIS JOB? OH, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
OH.
DON'T WORRY.
THERE'S A LOT OF DISHES IN YOUR FUTURE, SO MAYBE IT WILL.
THAT IS THE ONE THING I PROBABLY WILL HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH.
Bill: AS SOON AS THAT LAST POT'S HANGING, LET'S GO AHEAD AND THROW THE LINES.
CLEAR! WE'RE UNDERWAY, BABY.
HEADING OUT TO SEA.
FIRST TRIP FOR OPILIOS COMING UP RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: WITH THE LAST OF THEIR GEAR ABOARD, THE CAPE CAUTION THERE'S BILL.
YOU GUYS READY? IT'S ALL CLEAR! Narrator: AND NORTHWESTERN HEAD OFF TO STAKE THEIR CLAIM.

John: GOODBYE, LAND.
GOODBYE, DUTCH HARBOR.
Narrator: 315 MILES NORTHWEST, ON THE TIME BANDIT Johnathan: DAY TWO, CAPTAIN'S LOG.
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN ON DECK.
WHAT'S THAT, COOKIE MONSTER? THESE GUYS ARE NO FUN? Narrator: .
JOHNATHAN'S SEASON TAKES A BIZARRE TURN.
IT'S HARD TO BE WEIRDER THAN ME.
BUT IT'S PRETTY EASY OUT THERE, IT LOOKS LIKE.
Narrator: LAST EVENING NO.
NO, WHAT DID YOU SAY BEFORE? PUTTING ME ON THE DECK? I'LL PUT YOU ON THE [BLEEP.]
DECK [BLEEP.]
A FIGHT BROKE OUT BETWEEN NEW DECKHAND DANNY CHIU AND JOHNATHAN'S NEPHEW, PHILLIP.
EVERYBODY STOP RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: NOW DANNY WORKS THE DECK WITH THE HELP OF THE COOKIE MONSTER? [ GROWLS .]
OH, YEAH, I LIKE THIS MOTHER.
NO! Johnathan: WOW! WE GOT A WACKO ON HERE.
[ LAUGHING .]
I NEED TO GET TO BRING A PHYSIATRIST ON.
GOOD THING WE DID BACKGROUND CHECKS ON EVERYBODY, ANDY.
THANKS.
[ LAUGHS .]
I JUST BROUGHT SOMEBODY OUT TO TALK TO 'CAUSE EVERYBODY'S TOO QUIET TODAY.
SAID HE WANTED TO COME OUT AND SEE THE CRABS, PLAY AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
[ Deep voice .]
"I'VE NEVER SEEN NOTHING SO PRETTY ALL MY LIFE," HE SAID.
[ CHUCKLES .]
I THINK HE REALLY WANTS TO SEE A GROWN MAN CRY, THOUGH.
I'LL HELP HIM OUT WITH THAT ONE.
PART OF YOUR BIG REPORT CARD OF BEING A GOOD CREW MEMBER, KEEPING A JOB ON THIS BOAT IS "GETS ALONG WELL WITH OTHERS.
" BUT I GOT TO GET THROUGH THIS TRIP, MAN.
THESE ARE THE GUYS I GOT.
GOT TO MAKE IT WORK.

Neal: GET SOME ICE ON IT.
WE'RE GONNA PROBABLY HAVE TO GO TO THE ISLAND, GUYS.
BUT LET'S GET THIS POT OVER.

BROKEN YOUR HAND.
YOUR HAND LOOKS BROKEN.
[ CLUCKING .]
[BLEEP.]

HE'S GOT BROKEN [BLEEP.]
BONES, I GUARANTEE YOU.
NOBODY PUTS THEIR HAND ON THE TABLE THERE.
BECAUSE ONE GUY'S ON THE VERY BACK SIDE.
HE'S -- HE'S SUPPOSED TO DO THE [BLEEP.]
DOOR.
HE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BE.
I NEED EVERYONE HELPING EVERYBODY OUT, WATCHING OUT FOR EVERYBODY.
I NEED A GUY TELLING HIM, "HEY, DON'T PUT YOUR HAND THERE, DUDE.

HE JUST DIDN'T KNOW BETTER.
YOU KNOW, HE'S A GOOD HAND.
HE'S STEADY.
LAST GUY I EVER WANTED TO SEE GETTING HURT.
