Deadliest Catch (2005) s11e13 Episode Script
5-Year Storm, Part 2
[ WIND HOWLING .]
Sig: STARTING TO GET NAUTICAL OUT HERE.
RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT LAYERS OF MISERY.
WHOA, WATCH OUT! HOLY [BLEEP.]
Man: WHOA, WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! Bill: IF IT GETS UGLY, I'M NOT GONNA PUT THE BOAT AT RISK.
DEFINITELY NOT THE CREW.
Jake: I JUST -- I'M WORRIED ABOUT THEM.
Ray: YOU GOT TO QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT, BUT DO WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED.
OH, MY GOD.
[BLEEP.]
I'M WANTED WANTED DEAD OR ALI-I-I-I-I-I-VE CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS BROUGHT TO YOU BY LITTLE CAESARS PIZZA.
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING .]
Ray: OH, GOD.
CLOSE ONE, DUDE.
DAMN! WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? Man: JAKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? JAKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WE JUST TOOK A BIG WAVE OVER THE PORT SIDE.
Narrator: JUST SECONDS APART, TWO 40-FOOT WAVES BROKE OVER THE DECK OF THE SAGA.
Jake: OH, GOD, YOU GUYS.
OH, GOD, YOU GUYS.
OH, GOD.
Narrator: THE FIRST SUBMERGED THE STARBOARD RAIL JUST AS THE SECOND WAVE HIT, NEARLY CAPSIZING THE BOAT.
Nick: WOW.
I'VE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE.
MIKEY, NICK, AND BRANDON WERE [BLEEP.]
SWIMMING.
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, DUDE? HEY, I -- THE ONLY THING I -- [BLEEP.]
YOU, DUDE! I ALMOST WENT OVER! I KNOW, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS -- NO, YOU DON'T KNOW! YES, I DO KNOW.
[BLEEP.]
YOU, DUDE.
SHUT 'ER DOWN OR TAKE ME INTO TOWN.
ALL I COULD DO IS -- IT'S NOT WORTH [BLEEP.]
KILLING SOMEBODY OVER.
YEAH, NO, THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
UP, DUDE.
THERE'S NO REASON.
I'M A 6-FOOT MAN, AND IT'S OVER MY HEAD.
YOU -- I DON'T MEAN TO YELL.
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, BUT [BLEEP.]
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
UP, DUDE.
I'M STILL SHAKING, TOO.
BUT LISTEN.
WHEN IT CAME, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS [BLEEP.]
NAIL HER IN REVERSE AS HARD AS I COULD.
AND THERE -- THAT'S A ROGUE WAVE.
THERE'S BEEN NOTHING LIKE THAT [BLEEP.]
COME ONTO THE BOAT TODAY.
I'M SORRY FOR YELLING.
NOT [BLEEP.]
DESERVES [BLEEP.]
THAT SCARED THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF ME.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
HORRIBLE.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
CLOSE.
[BLEEP.]
IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO ANYBODY, I'D BE [BLEEP.]
SICK TO MY STOMACH.
IT'D BE THE END OF MY CAREER.
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
I MEAN, THERE WASN'T EVEN TIME TO [BLEEP.]
TRY AND DO THE STEADY BEAT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW? I KNOW.
I WAS AT THE BLOCK.
I DIDN'T SEE IT, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN [BLEEP.]
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING .]
IT WAS BARELY -- IT WASN'T IN THE TROUGH.
IT WAS JUST [BLEEP.]
BARELY ON MY PORT.
THEM PISSED AT RAY -- YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REALLY SURE THAT THERE'S ANYTHING HE COULD DO, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE EXPECTING A LITTLE BIT OF A WARNING OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW? Jake: IT STACKED UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF BOTH OF US.
I MEAN, THERE WAS NO TIME TO EVEN TELL ANYBODY.
I WENT TO GO DUMP THE CRAB TOTE Man: OHH! I WAS LITERALLY SWIMMING.
A WAVE LIKE THAT, YOU GOT TO HEAR A WARNING OR SOMETHING SO YOU CAN, LIKE, DUCK FOR COVER.
SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT FROM SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
I'VE TAKEN BIG WAVES WHEN I'VE BEEN ON DECK LIKE THAT BEFORE, BUT I NEVER BEEN UP HERE AND SEEN IT.
Man: YEAH.
NO.
I DON'T, EITHER.
YOU GOT FIRST WATCH.
Narrator: DESPITE THE STORM I'LL BE OUT THERE IN A SECOND.
THE CREW MUST SECURE THE DECK OR RISK FURTHER DAMAGE.
THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO CLOSE FOR ME.
I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE GOING OUTSIDE NOW, SO I'M JUST GONNA LAY RIGHT HERE FOR A WHILE.
I'M SCARED [BLEEP.]
NOW.
I -- I HAD JUST TODAY GAINED CONFIDENCE ABOUT RUNNING THE BOAT IN HIGH SEAS.
Narrator: FOR JAKE, THE EXCITEMENT OF HIS FIRST TRIP AT THE HELM HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE.
I JUST WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO SIT IN THIS CHAIR RIGHT NOW SO I CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, ANYWHERE ELSE.
RIGHT NOW, THE GUYS ARE BUTTONING UP EVERYTHING, AND I DON'T EVEN WANT THEM OUTSIDE.
LIKE THAT, SEE? I DON'T WANT TO KILL ANYBODY.
[ WAVES CRASHING .]
MAN, WE'RE DONE TONIGHT, MAN.
NO MORE.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, NOBODY GOT WASHED OFF DECK.
I'M SCARED.
I'M SURE THEY'RE SCARED.
AND NOW THEY'VE GOT ME UP HERE, TOO, NOW.
IF THE PROFESSIONAL TOOK ONE, WHAT'S THE NEW GUY GONNA DO? Narrator: WHILE THE ROOKIE CAPTAIN SHUTS DOWN, ON THE 113-FOOT TIME BANDIT WE KNEW THIS WEATHER WAS COMING.
NOW IT'S BLOWING NORTHEAST, Narrator: VETERAN SKIPPER ANDY HILLSTRAND CONTINUES TO FISH IN THE BRUNT OF THE STORM.
Andy: OH, BOY.
Johnathan: IF IT BLOWS NORMALLY AGAIN, IT'S GONNA BE A BIG, WHITE BOAT INSTEAD OF A BLACK BOAT.
'CAUSE WE'LL HAVE ICE ALL OVER IT.
Man: WAVE! WEATHER FREAKED OUT PRETTY NICE.
Andy: IT'S REALLY NAUTICAL OUT.
REALLY DANGEROUS FOR THESE GUYS, BUT THIS MACHINE'S JUST NOT GONNA STOP.
IF WE FIND SOME CRAB, WE'RE GONNA START DIALING OUR GEAR IN ON THE CRAB, SO HERE WE GO.
Man: HEADS UP! OHH! OH, YEAH, BIG WAVE JUST TOOK THEM DOWN.
WHOO! [ LAUGHS .]
THERE'S JUST NO QUIT IN THESE GUYS.
THESE GUYS ARE ALL BIG BOYS WITH THEIR BIG-BOY PANTS ON.
Man: WHOO! I'LL TAKE THAT ALL DAY LONG.
Narrator: DESPITE 56-KNOT WINDS AND 30-FOOT SEAS WE'RE GONNA SET IT BACK.
JUST GO AHEAD AND BAIT IT UP.
SHOVE THOSE BAGS FULL.
Narrator: CAPTAIN ANDY IS NOT ABOUT TO LET A LITTLE BAD WEATHER GET IN HIS WAY.
Andy: THEY GOT TO TAKE THEIR TIME.
WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT NOTHING.
I BEEN DOING THIS FOR 34 YEARS.
I'M A 51-YEAR-OLD BADASS ON THE BERING SEA.
I'LL KEEP PULLING CRAB POTS TILL MY FINGERS, MY TOES, MY LEGS, NOTHING WORKS ANYMORE.
WE'RE FINALLY GETTING ON SOME GOOD NUMBERS.
GIVE ME A COUNT.
GO, ANDY, GO.
WATCH HIM GO.
GO, ANDY, GO.
Eddie Jr.
: SEEMS LIKE IT'S GETTING A LOT ROUGHER, A LOT WINDIER.
IT'S GETTING [BLEEP.]
OUT.
MAKE THAT MONEY! MAKE THAT MONEY! Andy: VERY NAUTICAL OUT.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT, WE'RE PUTTING CRAB DOWN THE TANK.
YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW WE'RE NOT STOPPING.
Ian: IT FREAKS ME OUT A LITTLE BIT.
IF YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE BIT FREAKED OUT, THEN YOU'RE JUST DUMB.
I'M NOT SCARED.
I'M EXCITED.
OH! HOOK SHOT! OH! WHOA.
MY GOD.
YEAH! Andy: BARELY DOING 5 KNOTS, I'M TAKING WATER OVER THE BOW, SO THAT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS.
YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO HAVE EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD.
YOU COULD ALMOST HEAR THE OCEAN COMING AT YOU.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD! AAAH! [BLEEP.]
NO! NOW FROM THE BERING SEA TO THE BRAZILIAN COAST, Narrator: ON THE TIME BANDIT Man: OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD! AAAH! [BLEEP.]
NO! GOT A GUY CAUGHT UP! [BLEEP.]
WE GOT A MAN DOWN! MAKE HIM LAY FLAT.
MAKE HIM LAY FLAT.
YOU OKAY? YOU ALL RIGHT? IF HE'S ALL [BLEEP.]
UP.
DON'T MOVE.
DON'T MOVE.
CAN YOU TRY TO GET UP? OKAY.
TRY TO CALM DOWN.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HIM? I CAN'T HEAR YOU GUYS.
SOMEONE TALK TO ME IN THAT THING.
HIS LEG GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE LAUNCHER! CALM DOWN.
Narrator: SLAMMED TO THE DECK BY A 15-FOOT WAVE, GOT CAUGHT IN THE LINES AND NEARLY PULLED OVERBOARD BY AN 800-POUND POT.
FAST ACTION BY DECKHAND EDDIE UWEKOOLANI JR.
SAVED HIM FROM BEING PULLED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
YOU HAD THAT BIGHT AROUND YOUR LEG, DUDE.
NO, HE WENT UNDER THE LAUNCHER, TOO.
DURING HIS FALL, KYLE'S LEG WAS ALSO PINNED UNDER THE 2,000-POUND LAUNCHER.
HE THINKS IT MIGHT BE BROKEN.
WRAPPED.
YEAH.
BRING HIM BACK HERE IF YOU CAN.
[ GRUNTS .]
WHERE YOU GUYS WANT TO GO? [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
ALL RIGHT.
JUST RELAX FOR A SEC, CHECK IT OUT.
Andy: JUST CHILL OUT.
WE NEED TO SEE WHERE YOU GOT IT.
YEAH.
BE EASY WITH HIS LEG THERE.
IT'S BRUISED.
THE BRUISE IS ON THIS SIDE.
IS THAT WHERE IT HURTS? IT'S UP MORE? Kyle: OH, RIGHT THERE.
RIGHT THERE, OKAY.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE YOU TO TOWN.
WE'LL JUST WATCH YOU.
CHILL OUT.
LET'S GO OUT.
GET SOME WORK DONE HERE.
Andy: WE'RE GONNA WATCH IT.
YELL AT ME OR EDDIE IF SOMETHING FEELS WEIRD.
Andy: OH, I FEEL SICK.
THE LAST THING WE NEED IS [BLEEP.]
YEAH, NO [BLEEP.]
WELL, HE SAID THAT HE COULD GO BACK TO WORK.
WELL, WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT HIM BACK TO WORK.
NO, WE'RE NOT.
NO, I TOLD HIM.
OKAY, GUYS, UM LET'S REGROUP.
I'LL JUST JOG ALONG NICE AND EASY.
HE'S PISSED.
I WANT TO GO -- I WANT TO GO BACK OUT.
Andy: LOTS OF BAD STUFF HAPPENS OUT HERE.
WE TRY NOT TO HAVE IT HAPPEN TO US, BUT IT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
YOU HEAR ABOUT IT EVERY YEAR.
BROKEN HANDS, HEART ATTACKS, HANDS THROUGH BAIT CHOPPERS.
ONE THING'S FOR SURE -- NOTHING'S FOR SURE.
Narrator: 315 MILES SOUTHEAST, CLEAR OF THE STORM IN DUTCH HARBOR, SITS THE 128-FOOT CORNELIA MARIE.
Josh: DAMN, THERE'S A LOT OF POTS LEFT.
NOTHING HAS GONE THE WAY ANYTHING SHOULD BE GOING.
IF IT GETS THE OPPORTUNITY TO, AND IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: A WEEK AND A HALF INTO OPILIO SEASON, THE CORNELIA HAS YET TO LEAVE THE DOCK.
THIS GEAR'S IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
THE WEB, THE LINE, THE BUOYS.
IT'S ALL PRETTY MESSED UP.
Narrator: JUST FOUR DAYS AGO [BLEEP.]
OUR POTS ARE ILLEGAL.
THIS IS GONNA COST US AND PROBABLY 10 DAYS.
CAPTAIN CASEY McMANUS DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THEIR OPI POTS WEREN'T UP TO CODE.
MORE MONEY, MORE TIME.
WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING, NO MATTER WHAT.
YOU GOT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR GEAR.
BUT WE'RE BEHIND.
Narrator: NOW THE CREW HAS TO CHECK EVERY POT BEFORE THEY CAN START FISHING.
COMPLETE OVERHAUL.
LONG DAYS.
WE'VE BEEN PUSHING OUT HERE.
WAKE UP, GEAR WORK.
I GO TO BED DREAMING ABOUT GEAR WORK.
FIND ME A BOAT WHERE THE CREW'S CAUGHT UP TO WHERE THE CAPTAIN WANTS THEM TO BE, I'LL SHOW YOU A UNICORN.
SO, YOU WANT TO BE A CRAB FISHERMAN? [ LAUGHTER .]
NO.
I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS.
I'M TELLING YOU, MAN.
I SHOULD HAVE SAID I WAS SICK BEFORE I CAME ON.
WE'RE STUPID.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU BEEN WATCHING THESE GUYS, JOSH? THEY'RE STANDING AROUND BULL[BLEEP.]
FROM RIGHT HERE, OVER MY SHOULDER.
I CAN SEE THEM THROUGH THE POT.
WOW.
THIS PUSHES MY BUTTONS.
NINE POTS HAVE BEEN DONE SO FAR TODAY, AND THAT'S PRETTY SAD.
THAT JUST [BLEEP.]
DRIVES ME THROUGH THE [BLEEP.]
WALL.
EVERYBODY THINKS I'M THEIR BUDDY, YOU KNOW, AND I'VE LET THE REINS BE REALLY LOOSE.
NOW MAYBE IT'S MY TURN TO ACTUALLY START TAKING THE REINS ON THIS ONE.
Casey: THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
I DON'T MIND BEING THE NICE GUY FOR ONCE.
Man: I LOVE FISHING.
Man #2: THAT'S SOME [BLEEP.]
[ LAUGHS .]
RIGHT? Josh: GENTLEMEN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE MEETING AT THE TABLE.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT SOME [BLEEP.]
COME ON IN.
VERY [BLEEP.]
STRESSFUL.
WE NEED THIS GEAR WORK [BLEEP.]
DONE.
I'LL DEAL WITH THIS [BLEEP.]
THIS IS MY JOB.
Josh: [BLEEP.]
THESE GUYS.
I WANT EVERYONE -- IT SOUNDED LIKE IT.
LISTEN, I WANT EVERYONE TO SIT THE [BLEEP.]
DOWN.
EVERYBODY -- MY GUYS, EVERYBODY, SIT THE [BLEEP.]
DOWN.
AND YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS [BLEEP.]
LOOK AT THIS SITUATION.
DO WE HAVE A [BLEEP.]
HARD JOB? DO WE HAVE A HARD JOB? I'M ASKING YOU.
I'M STILL TRYING TO GET WHAT WE'RE GETTING AT HERE.
NO, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.
I'M NOT [BLEEP.]
HAPPY.
DO YOU KNOW WHY I'M NOT HAPPY, JACOB? YOUR GUYS'S WORK ETHIC.
WHERE THE [BLEEP.]
WAS IT AT? TAKES 9 HOURS TO DO [BLEEP.]
13 POTS.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
A PATHETIC DISPLAY.
I LOOK LIKE A CHUMP.
I LOOK LIKE A [BLEEP.]
MORON.
I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING.
LISTEN, NO.
WHAT YOU DON'T GET IS THIS.
I [BLEEP.]
-- WE GET IT.
ALL RIGHT.
THEN WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
DO YOU GET?! WE GET IT.
WHAT DO YOU GET?! WE GET EVERYTHING.
WE KNOW HOW THE STRESS IS ON YOU.
ALL RIGHT, THEN WHAT'S ON ME? TELL ME.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH WITH BUSINESS.
WE KNOW ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.
YOU GUYS DON'T GET SOMETHING.
YOU LOST A FUNDAMENTAL POINT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW [BLEEP.]
LIKE, I WAS -- I AM [BLEEP.]
VERY UPSET, AND I THINK I HAVE A [BLEEP.]
RIGHT.
I THINK THAT IS FAIR.
I'VE SPENT TWO YEARS OF MY LIFE HELPING TO GET THIS BOAT READY.
[BLEEP.]
THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE -- RIGHT OUT THE GATE.
LOOK AT ME.
I HAVEN'T EVEN [BLEEP.]
GOT A SLEEP RIGHT.
I'M JUST [BLEEP.]
ANGRY.
I'M LOSING MY [BLEEP.]
VOICE.
I CAN'T SLEEP.
YOU SIT AROUND IN A CIRCLE.
HOLD ON.
JACOB.
I [BLEEP.]
QUIT! YOU'RE QUITTING? ALL RIGHT, HEY.
IF HE WANTS TO [BLEEP.]
QUIT, THAT'S A [BLEEP.]
EASY WAY OUT.
DON'T [BLEEP.]
ABANDON IT.
FIX IT.
FIX IT.
[BLEEP.]
MAN.
[BLEEP.]
FINISH THIS [BLEEP.]
OFF AND FINISH IT STRONG 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE BITCHING.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS [BLEEP.]
I GOT NO IDEA WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
HAPPENED.
COME DOWN YELLING AT US.
I'VE KILLED MYSELF FOR THIS BOAT FOR THE LAST TWO YEAS.
Josh: WE'RE GONNA START DOING THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
I NEVER, EVER [BLEEP.]
YELL AT THOSE GUYS, EVER, ON ANY OCCASION.
WHEN I DO, EVERYBODY WILL LISTEN, AND THEY'LL HEED THE WARNING.
JOSH'S INEXPERIENCE SHINES EVERY DAY.
FROM MANAGEMENT TO LEADERSHIP.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
I'M LEAVING.
WELL, THERE IT IS.
WISH JAKE A GOOD TRIP, BE SAFE.
THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.
SO BE IT.
I BEEN TRYING TO GET JOSH TO MAKE THIS TRANSITION TO TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY, BUT I DIDN'T FORESEE IT GOING QUITE LIKE THIS.
I WOULD HAVE COME AT THAT ONE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
Narrator: 375 MILES NORTHWEST OF DUTCH HARBOR, ABOARD THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN Sig: THIS IS STRAIGHT NORTHERLY NOW.
STRAIGHT NORTHERLY.
Narrator: THREE WEEKS INTO HIS OPILIO SEASON IT'S NOT THE WAY TO DO THIS.
Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN STRUGGLES IN 30-FOOT SEAS AND 56-KNOT WINDS.
LET'S GO GET WET AND WALK AROUND LIKE A BUNCH OF DRUNK SAILORS.
[ LAUGHTER .]
Sig: THE WEATHER DOESN'T WANT TO COOPERATE, NOT ONE BIT.
IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD EVERYTHING LINED UP.
STRINGS WERE LINED UP.
TRIP WAS LINED UP.
THE DAYS WERE LINED UP.
AND IT'S NOT HELPING.
EVERY DAY COSTS YOU MONEY.
EVERY DAY COSTS YOU TIME.
WE GOT TO MAKE THE BEST OF OUR TIME WHILE WE CAN.
WE GOT TO GET THESE POTS HAULED WHILE THE CRAB ARE KIND OF ON THE BITE.
THERE'S SOME BIG SEAS OUT THERE.
PLAY THIS BY EAR.
YEAH, THE WEATHER'S GONNA SLOW US DOWN A LITTLE.
[ WAVE CRASHES .]
WE JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH -- WOW.
YEAH, YOU HEAR THAT? THAT WAS THE SHELTER WALL GETTING WHACKED.
THANK GOD FOR THAT OVER THERE, WE WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE.
Narrator: WITH 50 POTS IN THE WATER, THE CAPTAIN HAS TO BALANCE THE SAFETY OF HIS CREW WITH FILLING HIS TANKS.
COME ON, BABY, PLEASE BE SOME UP IN THE TUNNEL.
THERE'S SOME UP IN THE TUNNEL.
THAT'S GOOD.
OH, MY GOD! [ LAUGHTER .]
Sig: OH, YEAH! THAT'LL WORK.
WOW.
WHAT'S THAT, 600? YEAH, ROGER.
NICE.
Sig: [ GROANS .]
GOT TO BE CAREFUL HERE.
SHE'S REALLY ROLLING.
THIS ONE'S EVEN BETTER! YEAH! THAT'S 600.
YEAH! WHOA, HEADS UP! WATCH OUT! Sig: OKAY, THIS OFFICIALLY SUCKS.
PROBLEM IS, THE GEAR IS NOT SITTING RIGHT.
GEAR IS SITTING NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST.
THE WIND'S COMING FROM THE NORTH, SO IT'S RIGHT ON THE CORNER, SEE? I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT.
THEY'RE GETTING BIG.
OH, YEAH, IT'S GETTING UGLY.
WATCH IT, WATCH IT.
WATCH YOUR BACK.
DON'T STAND THERE, NORMAN.
Sig: I JUST DON'T WANT THAT POT IN THE RACK WHEN PEOPLE ARE WORKING AT THAT -- ON THAT TABLE.
I DON'T WANT TO HURT NOBODY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO DO THIS.
DO YOU WANT TO LAND THE POT, AND THEN YOU GUYS JUST GO FORWARD AND LET ME RUN AND GET BEHIND THAT NEXT POT AND JOG ON IT? AND THAT WAY, YOU'RE NOT AT THE RAIL WHATSOEVER.
YOU LAND THE POT, YOU DOG IT.
YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY, AND I CAN JUST BEELINE IT FOR THE NEXT POT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT PLAN? 'CAUSE SOME OF THESE [BLEEP.]
ARE GETTING SERIOUS.
THE BOAT'S JUST ROLLING HARD.
I THINK IF WE DO THAT, THE WAY I'M TALKING, I THINK THAT'S GONNA WORK.
NORMALLY WHEN YOU LAND THE POT, THE GUYS WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE CRAB GOES ON THE TABLE, THEY GO TO WORK.
THEY'RE EXPOSED TO THE RAIL.
WE'RE JUST GONNA TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT HERE.
DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE.
Narrator: WITH SEAS COMING OVER THE RAIL JUST GONNA GET OVER TO THE NEXT ONE, AND THEN WE'LL DEAL WITH IT.
Narrator: SIG ORDERS THE CREW TO RETREAT BENEATH THE SHELTER OF THE HOUSE.
HE DIDN'T WANT GUYS ON THE POT, GUYS ON THE TABLE RUNNING TO THE NEXT POT AS WAVES ARE COMING OVER.
THE SWELLS ARE GETTING BIGGER.
IT'S JUST SAFER.
NOW I CAN GET FROM THE POT TO THE NEXT ONE, JUST GET THROUGH THESE SEAS, JOG ON THE NEXT POT THAT I'M GONNA PULL, AND THEN THEY CAN DO THE CRAB, SET THE POT.
INSTEAD OF WORKING IN AN EXPOSED AREA WHILE I'M GOING FROM "A" TO "B.
" Nick: IT'S GETTING NAUTICAL, GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS, SO WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO SLOW HER DOWN A LITTLE AND MUDDLE THROUGH IT.
THEY'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIG.
I'M GONNA TURN.
Narrator: THE SKIPPER MANEUVERS THE BOAT TO PUT THE WEATHER ON THE PORT SIDE, SHIELDING HIS CREW FROM THE STORM.
OKAY, GO FOR IT.
I'M JUST GONNA JOG IN PLACE HERE WHILE YOU GUYS WORK.
JUST TRY AND GET THE CRAB IN, THEN WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT POT.
THAT'S A FULL POT.
JUST KEEPS COMING.
THESE CRAB COULD BE ON THE MOVE.
WE DON'T KNOW.
IF THEY ARE, YOU GOT TO BE HERE AND CHASE THEM.
HOPEFULLY, THOSE LITTLE BUGGERS DON'T MAKE A U-TURN AND START TRUCKING THE OTHER WAY.
OKAY, GET OUT OF THE WAY.
THAT MEANS YOU, BLUE GUY.
HOW LONG IS THAT GONNA LAST? THAT'S THE QUESTION.
Narrator: 355 MILES NORTHWEST OF DUTCH HARBOR [ SEA GULLS CALLING .]
ON THE SAGA.
HOURS AFTER A ROGUE WAVE NEARLY CAPSIZED THE BOAT ROOKIE CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON IS STILL SHUT DOWN.
Jake: I'M -- I'M FREAKED OUT.
I DON'T WANT TO HAUL ANY MORE.
[ ALARM SOUNDING .]
[ ALARM STOPS .]
I WISH I JUST WANTED TO JUST BE A DECKHAND, AND THAT'S IT.
BUT I'VE SEEN A LOT OF BIG WAVES ON DECK BEFORE, BEEN WASHED AROUND.
AND A LOT OF THE TIMES, YOU KNOW, ON THE NORTHWESTERN, WE JUST KIND OF LAUGH, AND SIG SCREAMS, AND THEN WE GO ON ABOUT OUR DAY.
BUT I'M NOT ON DECK ANYMORE, AND I'M IN THE WHEELHOUSE.
MY MIND'S TELLING ME TO GIVE UP RIGHT NOW, JUST GO HOME.
JUST GO GET THAT EASY JOB.
WHAT I'D GIVE TO JUST COME BACK HOME RIGHT NOW.
[ CELLPHONE DIALING .]
[ Ringing .]
JAKE'S WIFE: Hello? Jake: HELLO.
I MIGHT HAVE BIT OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW.
I DON'T WANT TO KILL ANYBODY.
WE'RE HAULING IN REALLY [BLEEP.]
WEATHER.
AND WE TOOK A REALLY BIG WAVE.
BAD.
You're building your résumé.
And that's really what's most important.
[ Baby crying .]
IS THAT AIDEN? HOW'S HE DOING? Aiden -- Aiden's good.
He's got gas.
[ Chuckles .]
ANYWAY, I'M GONNA GET OFF THE PHONE.
I LOVE YOU.
All right, I love you, too.
ALL RIGHT.
[ Crying continues .]
We miss you.
I MISS YOU, TOO.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS .]
THIS JOB, ISN'T A MATTER OF IF, IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN YOU GET HURT.
I WAS 100% CONFIDENT THAT I WAS MADE TO DO THIS JOB.
Narrator: 30 MILES SOUTH THESE WAVES ARE BIG.
AND THEY WANT TO ATTACK.
WHAT WE'RE DOING DIFFERENT IS WE'RE NOT WORKING ON THE WAY OVER.
BECAUSE THEY'RE EXPOSED.
WHERE THEY'RE KIND OF HIDING UP FORWARD.
ONCE THEY GET TO THE NEXT POT, SO THEY CAN WORK UNDER SHELTER UP AGAINST THE WIND.
I KNOW.
Narrator: TO KEEP FISHING IN THE HEART OF THE STORM Sig: A LOT OF GUYS PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BOTHERED HAULING IN THIS.
Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN HAS IMPLEMENTED A HAUL-AND-HIDE STRATEGY.
OH, HO, HO, HO! BUT THE BERING SEA CONTINUES TO PACK A NASTY WALLOP.
OH! THERE'S STILL COMBERS THAT COME THROUGH.
THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS HURT SOMEBODY.
THIS IS DOABLE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT.
OKAY.
I WANT TO JUST KEEP FOLLOWING THE CRAB.
THAT'S GONNA BE THE TRICK FOR US.
OH, BOY.
NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD.
[ BEEP .]
AH, WATER.
[ LAUGHS .]
126! [ WAVE CRASHES .]
WHOA! WATCH OUT! Sig: COME ON, PLEASE.
DON'T BE WEAK.
OH, BOY.
FISHING DROPPED OFF CONSIDERABLY.
THEY DROPPED.
THEY DROPPED IN HALF.
TRAWL LINE ON THE CRAB AREN'T TRAWLING BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN BLOWING FOR DAYS LIKE THIS.
OH.
COME ON NOW.
EASY, GIRL.
WATCH OUT.
GET OFF THE RAIL.
OHH! I'M WET! RIGHT UP AGAINST IT.
WHAT THE HELL? YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
OH [BLEEP.]
IT'S ENOUGH.
IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK.
[ RADIO BEEPS .]
HEY, THAT'S IT.
WE'RE DONE.
YOU GUYS JUST TIGHTEN UP THE DECK, GO IN.
LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.
I'M OLDER.
THE CREW'S GETTING OLDER.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED, AND I WOULD HAVE JUST KEPT GRINDING.
I WOULD HAVE TOOK EVERY CRAB AND PUT IT IN THE TANK JUST OUT OF PRIDE.
I WOULD HAVE FORCED IT.
AND TODAY, I CAN'T SAY THE SAME.
ARE WE GIVING UP? NO, WE'RE NOT GIVING UP, BUT TRYING TO WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER, YOU KNOW? THAT'S WHERE MY MENTALITY'S CHANGED.
WE JUST GOT TO COME BACK OUT AND REGROUP.
HOPE THESE LITTLE BUGGERS ARE CRAWLING AGAIN.
Narrator: WITH CAPTAIN SIG'S HAUL-AND-HIDE STRATEGY, THE NORTHWESTERN OVERTAKES THE TIME BANDIT.
GO.
AH, STOP! AAH! [BLEEP.]
WHAT'S THE MATTER? [BLEEP.]
OH, DUDE.
[BLEEP.]
[ SCREAMING .]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS .]
OHH! HOLY [BLEEP.]
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I GRAB? OW! [ LAUGHTER .]
GOTCHA! HOLY [BLEEP.]
YOU JUST SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
Bill: YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA STILL BE ABLE TO HAUL GEAR? Narrator: IN DUTCH HARBOR IT'S TIME TO START PAYING THE BILLS.
Narrator: WITH THEIR GEARWORK FINALLY COMPLETE TURN HER UP, MAN.
TIME TO GO FISHING.
THE CORNELIA MARIE THROWS HER LINES AT LONG LAST.
ENGINE READY! Casey: HAD A LOT OF GEARWORK TO COMPLETE.
CREW GOT A LITTLE ROWDY AND ENDED UP COSTING US ONE OF OUR BEST GUYS.
GOT ALL WORKED UP.
AND NOW WE'RE LEAVING TOWN WITHOUT HIM.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
IT'S TIME TO GO TO WORK, THOUGH, ALL FEELINGS ASIDE.
WE'RE LATE.
WE GOT TO MAKE UP SOME TIME.
LET'S JUST GO TO WORK.
Narrator: AS DAWN BREAKS, THE VIOLENT STORM RECEDES INTO A MEMORY.
ABOARD THE SAGA IT WAS THE LONGEST FIVE SECONDS OF MY LIFE.
VERY EASILY, SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOT WASHED OVERBOARD ON THAT DEAL.
I'M GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO JAKE 'CAUSE THAT WOULD KNOCK YOU WAY BACK.
BUT TODAY'S A GOOD DAY.
BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW I DO.
HE NEEDS CONFIDENCE TO KEEP HIMSELF GOING THROUGH THIS.
Narrator: FOR FRESHMAN CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS SEASON AND EVERYBODY'S ALIVE AND EVERYBODY'S SAFE.
Narrator: THE NEW DAY BRINGS FAMILIAR CHALLENGES AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE.
WATER IS SUPER CLEAR.
A BEAUTIFUL GREEN.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUN COMING THROUGH THE WAVES.
THE SUN'S COMING UP, IT'S A NEW DAY, BUT I'M FEELING A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.
I FEEL A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.
THE WAVE REALLY AFFECTED ME BECAUSE I JUST SEEING THAT HAPPEN TO, YOU KNOW, A LONG-TIME, EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL, IT JUST SHOOK ME UP PRETTY BAD.
IT'S TIME TO HAUL SOME GEAR.
[ SEA GULLS CALLING .]
Wade: HE'S JUST BEING A LITTLE TIMID.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO HURT ANYBODY.
HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO SCREW UP.
HE'S JUST GOT TO REALIZE THAT EVERYBODY SCREWS UP.
Jake: I DON'T THINK THE CREW MEMBERS TRUST ME FULLY.
I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY REASON TO.
THEY ARE NOT GONNA TRUST ME UNTIL THEY SEE THE PAYCHECK.
THAT'S A GOOD POT RIGHT THERE.
Man: HELL, YEAH! THERE'S MY MONEY! Brandon: 250 IN THAT ONE.
NOT A LOT, BUT THEY'RE NICE AND CLEAN.
WE'RE DOING GOOD SO FAR.
A LOT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO CRAB, YOU KNOW? I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO CRAB.
BUT I WAS NEVER REALLY ANY GOOD AT IT.
IT JUST BEAT ME UP TOO BAD.
DADDY'S GOT A PAYCHECK.
ALL KEEPERS.
CRAB FISHING'S GETTING BETTER.
Mike: THE FIRST FEW POTS, YOU'RE DOING WELL.
PROBABLY GOT AROUND 300.
Jake: 300! I'VE BEEN UP.
I'VE BEEN DOWN.
I'VE BEEN UP AGAIN AND UP AND DOWN AGAIN.
AND RIGHT NOW, I FEEL LIKE I'M ON THE UP, AND I'M LOOKING FOR AN EVEN KEEL.
YEAH, BABY! YEAH.
THAT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER 300 TO ME.
BEING ON A FAMILY BOAT HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT ME IS THAT YOU NEED TO BE WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO DIE WITH.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO DIE WITH THEM, THEN DON'T LEAVE THE DOCK WITH THEM.
Sig: STARTING TO GET NAUTICAL OUT HERE.
RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT LAYERS OF MISERY.
WHOA, WATCH OUT! HOLY [BLEEP.]
Man: WHOA, WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! Bill: IF IT GETS UGLY, I'M NOT GONNA PUT THE BOAT AT RISK.
DEFINITELY NOT THE CREW.
Jake: I JUST -- I'M WORRIED ABOUT THEM.
Ray: YOU GOT TO QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT, BUT DO WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED.
OH, MY GOD.
[BLEEP.]
I'M WANTED WANTED DEAD OR ALI-I-I-I-I-I-VE CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS BROUGHT TO YOU BY LITTLE CAESARS PIZZA.
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING .]
Ray: OH, GOD.
CLOSE ONE, DUDE.
DAMN! WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? Man: JAKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? JAKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WE JUST TOOK A BIG WAVE OVER THE PORT SIDE.
Narrator: JUST SECONDS APART, TWO 40-FOOT WAVES BROKE OVER THE DECK OF THE SAGA.
Jake: OH, GOD, YOU GUYS.
OH, GOD, YOU GUYS.
OH, GOD.
Narrator: THE FIRST SUBMERGED THE STARBOARD RAIL JUST AS THE SECOND WAVE HIT, NEARLY CAPSIZING THE BOAT.
Nick: WOW.
I'VE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE.
MIKEY, NICK, AND BRANDON WERE [BLEEP.]
SWIMMING.
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, DUDE? HEY, I -- THE ONLY THING I -- [BLEEP.]
YOU, DUDE! I ALMOST WENT OVER! I KNOW, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS -- NO, YOU DON'T KNOW! YES, I DO KNOW.
[BLEEP.]
YOU, DUDE.
SHUT 'ER DOWN OR TAKE ME INTO TOWN.
ALL I COULD DO IS -- IT'S NOT WORTH [BLEEP.]
KILLING SOMEBODY OVER.
YEAH, NO, THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
UP, DUDE.
THERE'S NO REASON.
I'M A 6-FOOT MAN, AND IT'S OVER MY HEAD.
YOU -- I DON'T MEAN TO YELL.
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, BUT [BLEEP.]
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
UP, DUDE.
I'M STILL SHAKING, TOO.
BUT LISTEN.
WHEN IT CAME, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS [BLEEP.]
NAIL HER IN REVERSE AS HARD AS I COULD.
AND THERE -- THAT'S A ROGUE WAVE.
THERE'S BEEN NOTHING LIKE THAT [BLEEP.]
COME ONTO THE BOAT TODAY.
I'M SORRY FOR YELLING.
NOT [BLEEP.]
DESERVES [BLEEP.]
THAT SCARED THE [BLEEP.]
OUT OF ME.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
HORRIBLE.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
CLOSE.
[BLEEP.]
IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO ANYBODY, I'D BE [BLEEP.]
SICK TO MY STOMACH.
IT'D BE THE END OF MY CAREER.
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
I MEAN, THERE WASN'T EVEN TIME TO [BLEEP.]
TRY AND DO THE STEADY BEAT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW? I KNOW.
I WAS AT THE BLOCK.
I DIDN'T SEE IT, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN [BLEEP.]
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING .]
IT WAS BARELY -- IT WASN'T IN THE TROUGH.
IT WAS JUST [BLEEP.]
BARELY ON MY PORT.
THEM PISSED AT RAY -- YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REALLY SURE THAT THERE'S ANYTHING HE COULD DO, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE EXPECTING A LITTLE BIT OF A WARNING OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW? Jake: IT STACKED UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF BOTH OF US.
I MEAN, THERE WAS NO TIME TO EVEN TELL ANYBODY.
I WENT TO GO DUMP THE CRAB TOTE Man: OHH! I WAS LITERALLY SWIMMING.
A WAVE LIKE THAT, YOU GOT TO HEAR A WARNING OR SOMETHING SO YOU CAN, LIKE, DUCK FOR COVER.
SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT FROM SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
I'VE TAKEN BIG WAVES WHEN I'VE BEEN ON DECK LIKE THAT BEFORE, BUT I NEVER BEEN UP HERE AND SEEN IT.
Man: YEAH.
NO.
I DON'T, EITHER.
YOU GOT FIRST WATCH.
Narrator: DESPITE THE STORM I'LL BE OUT THERE IN A SECOND.
THE CREW MUST SECURE THE DECK OR RISK FURTHER DAMAGE.
THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO CLOSE FOR ME.
I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE GOING OUTSIDE NOW, SO I'M JUST GONNA LAY RIGHT HERE FOR A WHILE.
I'M SCARED [BLEEP.]
NOW.
I -- I HAD JUST TODAY GAINED CONFIDENCE ABOUT RUNNING THE BOAT IN HIGH SEAS.
Narrator: FOR JAKE, THE EXCITEMENT OF HIS FIRST TRIP AT THE HELM HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE.
I JUST WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO SIT IN THIS CHAIR RIGHT NOW SO I CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, ANYWHERE ELSE.
RIGHT NOW, THE GUYS ARE BUTTONING UP EVERYTHING, AND I DON'T EVEN WANT THEM OUTSIDE.
LIKE THAT, SEE? I DON'T WANT TO KILL ANYBODY.
[ WAVES CRASHING .]
MAN, WE'RE DONE TONIGHT, MAN.
NO MORE.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, NOBODY GOT WASHED OFF DECK.
I'M SCARED.
I'M SURE THEY'RE SCARED.
AND NOW THEY'VE GOT ME UP HERE, TOO, NOW.
IF THE PROFESSIONAL TOOK ONE, WHAT'S THE NEW GUY GONNA DO? Narrator: WHILE THE ROOKIE CAPTAIN SHUTS DOWN, ON THE 113-FOOT TIME BANDIT WE KNEW THIS WEATHER WAS COMING.
NOW IT'S BLOWING NORTHEAST, Narrator: VETERAN SKIPPER ANDY HILLSTRAND CONTINUES TO FISH IN THE BRUNT OF THE STORM.
Andy: OH, BOY.
Johnathan: IF IT BLOWS NORMALLY AGAIN, IT'S GONNA BE A BIG, WHITE BOAT INSTEAD OF A BLACK BOAT.
'CAUSE WE'LL HAVE ICE ALL OVER IT.
Man: WAVE! WEATHER FREAKED OUT PRETTY NICE.
Andy: IT'S REALLY NAUTICAL OUT.
REALLY DANGEROUS FOR THESE GUYS, BUT THIS MACHINE'S JUST NOT GONNA STOP.
IF WE FIND SOME CRAB, WE'RE GONNA START DIALING OUR GEAR IN ON THE CRAB, SO HERE WE GO.
Man: HEADS UP! OHH! OH, YEAH, BIG WAVE JUST TOOK THEM DOWN.
WHOO! [ LAUGHS .]
THERE'S JUST NO QUIT IN THESE GUYS.
THESE GUYS ARE ALL BIG BOYS WITH THEIR BIG-BOY PANTS ON.
Man: WHOO! I'LL TAKE THAT ALL DAY LONG.
Narrator: DESPITE 56-KNOT WINDS AND 30-FOOT SEAS WE'RE GONNA SET IT BACK.
JUST GO AHEAD AND BAIT IT UP.
SHOVE THOSE BAGS FULL.
Narrator: CAPTAIN ANDY IS NOT ABOUT TO LET A LITTLE BAD WEATHER GET IN HIS WAY.
Andy: THEY GOT TO TAKE THEIR TIME.
WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT NOTHING.
I BEEN DOING THIS FOR 34 YEARS.
I'M A 51-YEAR-OLD BADASS ON THE BERING SEA.
I'LL KEEP PULLING CRAB POTS TILL MY FINGERS, MY TOES, MY LEGS, NOTHING WORKS ANYMORE.
WE'RE FINALLY GETTING ON SOME GOOD NUMBERS.
GIVE ME A COUNT.
GO, ANDY, GO.
WATCH HIM GO.
GO, ANDY, GO.
Eddie Jr.
: SEEMS LIKE IT'S GETTING A LOT ROUGHER, A LOT WINDIER.
IT'S GETTING [BLEEP.]
OUT.
MAKE THAT MONEY! MAKE THAT MONEY! Andy: VERY NAUTICAL OUT.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT, WE'RE PUTTING CRAB DOWN THE TANK.
YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW WE'RE NOT STOPPING.
Ian: IT FREAKS ME OUT A LITTLE BIT.
IF YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE BIT FREAKED OUT, THEN YOU'RE JUST DUMB.
I'M NOT SCARED.
I'M EXCITED.
OH! HOOK SHOT! OH! WHOA.
MY GOD.
YEAH! Andy: BARELY DOING 5 KNOTS, I'M TAKING WATER OVER THE BOW, SO THAT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS.
YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO HAVE EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD.
YOU COULD ALMOST HEAR THE OCEAN COMING AT YOU.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD! AAAH! [BLEEP.]
NO! NOW FROM THE BERING SEA TO THE BRAZILIAN COAST, Narrator: ON THE TIME BANDIT Man: OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD! AAAH! [BLEEP.]
NO! GOT A GUY CAUGHT UP! [BLEEP.]
WE GOT A MAN DOWN! MAKE HIM LAY FLAT.
MAKE HIM LAY FLAT.
YOU OKAY? YOU ALL RIGHT? IF HE'S ALL [BLEEP.]
UP.
DON'T MOVE.
DON'T MOVE.
CAN YOU TRY TO GET UP? OKAY.
TRY TO CALM DOWN.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HIM? I CAN'T HEAR YOU GUYS.
SOMEONE TALK TO ME IN THAT THING.
HIS LEG GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE LAUNCHER! CALM DOWN.
Narrator: SLAMMED TO THE DECK BY A 15-FOOT WAVE, GOT CAUGHT IN THE LINES AND NEARLY PULLED OVERBOARD BY AN 800-POUND POT.
FAST ACTION BY DECKHAND EDDIE UWEKOOLANI JR.
SAVED HIM FROM BEING PULLED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
YOU HAD THAT BIGHT AROUND YOUR LEG, DUDE.
NO, HE WENT UNDER THE LAUNCHER, TOO.
DURING HIS FALL, KYLE'S LEG WAS ALSO PINNED UNDER THE 2,000-POUND LAUNCHER.
HE THINKS IT MIGHT BE BROKEN.
WRAPPED.
YEAH.
BRING HIM BACK HERE IF YOU CAN.
[ GRUNTS .]
WHERE YOU GUYS WANT TO GO? [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION .]
ALL RIGHT.
JUST RELAX FOR A SEC, CHECK IT OUT.
Andy: JUST CHILL OUT.
WE NEED TO SEE WHERE YOU GOT IT.
YEAH.
BE EASY WITH HIS LEG THERE.
IT'S BRUISED.
THE BRUISE IS ON THIS SIDE.
IS THAT WHERE IT HURTS? IT'S UP MORE? Kyle: OH, RIGHT THERE.
RIGHT THERE, OKAY.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE YOU TO TOWN.
WE'LL JUST WATCH YOU.
CHILL OUT.
LET'S GO OUT.
GET SOME WORK DONE HERE.
Andy: WE'RE GONNA WATCH IT.
YELL AT ME OR EDDIE IF SOMETHING FEELS WEIRD.
Andy: OH, I FEEL SICK.
THE LAST THING WE NEED IS [BLEEP.]
YEAH, NO [BLEEP.]
WELL, HE SAID THAT HE COULD GO BACK TO WORK.
WELL, WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT HIM BACK TO WORK.
NO, WE'RE NOT.
NO, I TOLD HIM.
OKAY, GUYS, UM LET'S REGROUP.
I'LL JUST JOG ALONG NICE AND EASY.
HE'S PISSED.
I WANT TO GO -- I WANT TO GO BACK OUT.
Andy: LOTS OF BAD STUFF HAPPENS OUT HERE.
WE TRY NOT TO HAVE IT HAPPEN TO US, BUT IT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
YOU HEAR ABOUT IT EVERY YEAR.
BROKEN HANDS, HEART ATTACKS, HANDS THROUGH BAIT CHOPPERS.
ONE THING'S FOR SURE -- NOTHING'S FOR SURE.
Narrator: 315 MILES SOUTHEAST, CLEAR OF THE STORM IN DUTCH HARBOR, SITS THE 128-FOOT CORNELIA MARIE.
Josh: DAMN, THERE'S A LOT OF POTS LEFT.
NOTHING HAS GONE THE WAY ANYTHING SHOULD BE GOING.
IF IT GETS THE OPPORTUNITY TO, AND IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: A WEEK AND A HALF INTO OPILIO SEASON, THE CORNELIA HAS YET TO LEAVE THE DOCK.
THIS GEAR'S IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
THE WEB, THE LINE, THE BUOYS.
IT'S ALL PRETTY MESSED UP.
Narrator: JUST FOUR DAYS AGO [BLEEP.]
OUR POTS ARE ILLEGAL.
THIS IS GONNA COST US AND PROBABLY 10 DAYS.
CAPTAIN CASEY McMANUS DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THEIR OPI POTS WEREN'T UP TO CODE.
MORE MONEY, MORE TIME.
WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING, NO MATTER WHAT.
YOU GOT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR GEAR.
BUT WE'RE BEHIND.
Narrator: NOW THE CREW HAS TO CHECK EVERY POT BEFORE THEY CAN START FISHING.
COMPLETE OVERHAUL.
LONG DAYS.
WE'VE BEEN PUSHING OUT HERE.
WAKE UP, GEAR WORK.
I GO TO BED DREAMING ABOUT GEAR WORK.
FIND ME A BOAT WHERE THE CREW'S CAUGHT UP TO WHERE THE CAPTAIN WANTS THEM TO BE, I'LL SHOW YOU A UNICORN.
SO, YOU WANT TO BE A CRAB FISHERMAN? [ LAUGHTER .]
NO.
I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS.
I'M TELLING YOU, MAN.
I SHOULD HAVE SAID I WAS SICK BEFORE I CAME ON.
WE'RE STUPID.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU BEEN WATCHING THESE GUYS, JOSH? THEY'RE STANDING AROUND BULL[BLEEP.]
FROM RIGHT HERE, OVER MY SHOULDER.
I CAN SEE THEM THROUGH THE POT.
WOW.
THIS PUSHES MY BUTTONS.
NINE POTS HAVE BEEN DONE SO FAR TODAY, AND THAT'S PRETTY SAD.
THAT JUST [BLEEP.]
DRIVES ME THROUGH THE [BLEEP.]
WALL.
EVERYBODY THINKS I'M THEIR BUDDY, YOU KNOW, AND I'VE LET THE REINS BE REALLY LOOSE.
NOW MAYBE IT'S MY TURN TO ACTUALLY START TAKING THE REINS ON THIS ONE.
Casey: THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
I DON'T MIND BEING THE NICE GUY FOR ONCE.
Man: I LOVE FISHING.
Man #2: THAT'S SOME [BLEEP.]
[ LAUGHS .]
RIGHT? Josh: GENTLEMEN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE MEETING AT THE TABLE.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT SOME [BLEEP.]
COME ON IN.
VERY [BLEEP.]
STRESSFUL.
WE NEED THIS GEAR WORK [BLEEP.]
DONE.
I'LL DEAL WITH THIS [BLEEP.]
THIS IS MY JOB.
Josh: [BLEEP.]
THESE GUYS.
I WANT EVERYONE -- IT SOUNDED LIKE IT.
LISTEN, I WANT EVERYONE TO SIT THE [BLEEP.]
DOWN.
EVERYBODY -- MY GUYS, EVERYBODY, SIT THE [BLEEP.]
DOWN.
AND YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS [BLEEP.]
LOOK AT THIS SITUATION.
DO WE HAVE A [BLEEP.]
HARD JOB? DO WE HAVE A HARD JOB? I'M ASKING YOU.
I'M STILL TRYING TO GET WHAT WE'RE GETTING AT HERE.
NO, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.
I'M NOT [BLEEP.]
HAPPY.
DO YOU KNOW WHY I'M NOT HAPPY, JACOB? YOUR GUYS'S WORK ETHIC.
WHERE THE [BLEEP.]
WAS IT AT? TAKES 9 HOURS TO DO [BLEEP.]
13 POTS.
THAT WAS [BLEEP.]
A PATHETIC DISPLAY.
I LOOK LIKE A CHUMP.
I LOOK LIKE A [BLEEP.]
MORON.
I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING.
LISTEN, NO.
WHAT YOU DON'T GET IS THIS.
I [BLEEP.]
-- WE GET IT.
ALL RIGHT.
THEN WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
DO YOU GET?! WE GET IT.
WHAT DO YOU GET?! WE GET EVERYTHING.
WE KNOW HOW THE STRESS IS ON YOU.
ALL RIGHT, THEN WHAT'S ON ME? TELL ME.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH WITH BUSINESS.
WE KNOW ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.
YOU GUYS DON'T GET SOMETHING.
YOU LOST A FUNDAMENTAL POINT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW [BLEEP.]
LIKE, I WAS -- I AM [BLEEP.]
VERY UPSET, AND I THINK I HAVE A [BLEEP.]
RIGHT.
I THINK THAT IS FAIR.
I'VE SPENT TWO YEARS OF MY LIFE HELPING TO GET THIS BOAT READY.
[BLEEP.]
THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE -- RIGHT OUT THE GATE.
LOOK AT ME.
I HAVEN'T EVEN [BLEEP.]
GOT A SLEEP RIGHT.
I'M JUST [BLEEP.]
ANGRY.
I'M LOSING MY [BLEEP.]
VOICE.
I CAN'T SLEEP.
YOU SIT AROUND IN A CIRCLE.
HOLD ON.
JACOB.
I [BLEEP.]
QUIT! YOU'RE QUITTING? ALL RIGHT, HEY.
IF HE WANTS TO [BLEEP.]
QUIT, THAT'S A [BLEEP.]
EASY WAY OUT.
DON'T [BLEEP.]
ABANDON IT.
FIX IT.
FIX IT.
[BLEEP.]
MAN.
[BLEEP.]
FINISH THIS [BLEEP.]
OFF AND FINISH IT STRONG 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE BITCHING.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS [BLEEP.]
I GOT NO IDEA WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
HAPPENED.
COME DOWN YELLING AT US.
I'VE KILLED MYSELF FOR THIS BOAT FOR THE LAST TWO YEAS.
Josh: WE'RE GONNA START DOING THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
I NEVER, EVER [BLEEP.]
YELL AT THOSE GUYS, EVER, ON ANY OCCASION.
WHEN I DO, EVERYBODY WILL LISTEN, AND THEY'LL HEED THE WARNING.
JOSH'S INEXPERIENCE SHINES EVERY DAY.
FROM MANAGEMENT TO LEADERSHIP.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
I'M LEAVING.
WELL, THERE IT IS.
WISH JAKE A GOOD TRIP, BE SAFE.
THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.
SO BE IT.
I BEEN TRYING TO GET JOSH TO MAKE THIS TRANSITION TO TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY, BUT I DIDN'T FORESEE IT GOING QUITE LIKE THIS.
I WOULD HAVE COME AT THAT ONE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
Narrator: 375 MILES NORTHWEST OF DUTCH HARBOR, ABOARD THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN Sig: THIS IS STRAIGHT NORTHERLY NOW.
STRAIGHT NORTHERLY.
Narrator: THREE WEEKS INTO HIS OPILIO SEASON IT'S NOT THE WAY TO DO THIS.
Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN STRUGGLES IN 30-FOOT SEAS AND 56-KNOT WINDS.
LET'S GO GET WET AND WALK AROUND LIKE A BUNCH OF DRUNK SAILORS.
[ LAUGHTER .]
Sig: THE WEATHER DOESN'T WANT TO COOPERATE, NOT ONE BIT.
IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD EVERYTHING LINED UP.
STRINGS WERE LINED UP.
TRIP WAS LINED UP.
THE DAYS WERE LINED UP.
AND IT'S NOT HELPING.
EVERY DAY COSTS YOU MONEY.
EVERY DAY COSTS YOU TIME.
WE GOT TO MAKE THE BEST OF OUR TIME WHILE WE CAN.
WE GOT TO GET THESE POTS HAULED WHILE THE CRAB ARE KIND OF ON THE BITE.
THERE'S SOME BIG SEAS OUT THERE.
PLAY THIS BY EAR.
YEAH, THE WEATHER'S GONNA SLOW US DOWN A LITTLE.
[ WAVE CRASHES .]
WE JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH -- WOW.
YEAH, YOU HEAR THAT? THAT WAS THE SHELTER WALL GETTING WHACKED.
THANK GOD FOR THAT OVER THERE, WE WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE.
Narrator: WITH 50 POTS IN THE WATER, THE CAPTAIN HAS TO BALANCE THE SAFETY OF HIS CREW WITH FILLING HIS TANKS.
COME ON, BABY, PLEASE BE SOME UP IN THE TUNNEL.
THERE'S SOME UP IN THE TUNNEL.
THAT'S GOOD.
OH, MY GOD! [ LAUGHTER .]
Sig: OH, YEAH! THAT'LL WORK.
WOW.
WHAT'S THAT, 600? YEAH, ROGER.
NICE.
Sig: [ GROANS .]
GOT TO BE CAREFUL HERE.
SHE'S REALLY ROLLING.
THIS ONE'S EVEN BETTER! YEAH! THAT'S 600.
YEAH! WHOA, HEADS UP! WATCH OUT! Sig: OKAY, THIS OFFICIALLY SUCKS.
PROBLEM IS, THE GEAR IS NOT SITTING RIGHT.
GEAR IS SITTING NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST.
THE WIND'S COMING FROM THE NORTH, SO IT'S RIGHT ON THE CORNER, SEE? I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT.
THEY'RE GETTING BIG.
OH, YEAH, IT'S GETTING UGLY.
WATCH IT, WATCH IT.
WATCH YOUR BACK.
DON'T STAND THERE, NORMAN.
Sig: I JUST DON'T WANT THAT POT IN THE RACK WHEN PEOPLE ARE WORKING AT THAT -- ON THAT TABLE.
I DON'T WANT TO HURT NOBODY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO DO THIS.
DO YOU WANT TO LAND THE POT, AND THEN YOU GUYS JUST GO FORWARD AND LET ME RUN AND GET BEHIND THAT NEXT POT AND JOG ON IT? AND THAT WAY, YOU'RE NOT AT THE RAIL WHATSOEVER.
YOU LAND THE POT, YOU DOG IT.
YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY, AND I CAN JUST BEELINE IT FOR THE NEXT POT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT PLAN? 'CAUSE SOME OF THESE [BLEEP.]
ARE GETTING SERIOUS.
THE BOAT'S JUST ROLLING HARD.
I THINK IF WE DO THAT, THE WAY I'M TALKING, I THINK THAT'S GONNA WORK.
NORMALLY WHEN YOU LAND THE POT, THE GUYS WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE CRAB GOES ON THE TABLE, THEY GO TO WORK.
THEY'RE EXPOSED TO THE RAIL.
WE'RE JUST GONNA TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT HERE.
DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE.
Narrator: WITH SEAS COMING OVER THE RAIL JUST GONNA GET OVER TO THE NEXT ONE, AND THEN WE'LL DEAL WITH IT.
Narrator: SIG ORDERS THE CREW TO RETREAT BENEATH THE SHELTER OF THE HOUSE.
HE DIDN'T WANT GUYS ON THE POT, GUYS ON THE TABLE RUNNING TO THE NEXT POT AS WAVES ARE COMING OVER.
THE SWELLS ARE GETTING BIGGER.
IT'S JUST SAFER.
NOW I CAN GET FROM THE POT TO THE NEXT ONE, JUST GET THROUGH THESE SEAS, JOG ON THE NEXT POT THAT I'M GONNA PULL, AND THEN THEY CAN DO THE CRAB, SET THE POT.
INSTEAD OF WORKING IN AN EXPOSED AREA WHILE I'M GOING FROM "A" TO "B.
" Nick: IT'S GETTING NAUTICAL, GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS, SO WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO SLOW HER DOWN A LITTLE AND MUDDLE THROUGH IT.
THEY'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIG.
I'M GONNA TURN.
Narrator: THE SKIPPER MANEUVERS THE BOAT TO PUT THE WEATHER ON THE PORT SIDE, SHIELDING HIS CREW FROM THE STORM.
OKAY, GO FOR IT.
I'M JUST GONNA JOG IN PLACE HERE WHILE YOU GUYS WORK.
JUST TRY AND GET THE CRAB IN, THEN WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT POT.
THAT'S A FULL POT.
JUST KEEPS COMING.
THESE CRAB COULD BE ON THE MOVE.
WE DON'T KNOW.
IF THEY ARE, YOU GOT TO BE HERE AND CHASE THEM.
HOPEFULLY, THOSE LITTLE BUGGERS DON'T MAKE A U-TURN AND START TRUCKING THE OTHER WAY.
OKAY, GET OUT OF THE WAY.
THAT MEANS YOU, BLUE GUY.
HOW LONG IS THAT GONNA LAST? THAT'S THE QUESTION.
Narrator: 355 MILES NORTHWEST OF DUTCH HARBOR [ SEA GULLS CALLING .]
ON THE SAGA.
HOURS AFTER A ROGUE WAVE NEARLY CAPSIZED THE BOAT ROOKIE CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON IS STILL SHUT DOWN.
Jake: I'M -- I'M FREAKED OUT.
I DON'T WANT TO HAUL ANY MORE.
[ ALARM SOUNDING .]
[ ALARM STOPS .]
I WISH I JUST WANTED TO JUST BE A DECKHAND, AND THAT'S IT.
BUT I'VE SEEN A LOT OF BIG WAVES ON DECK BEFORE, BEEN WASHED AROUND.
AND A LOT OF THE TIMES, YOU KNOW, ON THE NORTHWESTERN, WE JUST KIND OF LAUGH, AND SIG SCREAMS, AND THEN WE GO ON ABOUT OUR DAY.
BUT I'M NOT ON DECK ANYMORE, AND I'M IN THE WHEELHOUSE.
MY MIND'S TELLING ME TO GIVE UP RIGHT NOW, JUST GO HOME.
JUST GO GET THAT EASY JOB.
WHAT I'D GIVE TO JUST COME BACK HOME RIGHT NOW.
[ CELLPHONE DIALING .]
[ Ringing .]
JAKE'S WIFE: Hello? Jake: HELLO.
I MIGHT HAVE BIT OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW.
I DON'T WANT TO KILL ANYBODY.
WE'RE HAULING IN REALLY [BLEEP.]
WEATHER.
AND WE TOOK A REALLY BIG WAVE.
BAD.
You're building your résumé.
And that's really what's most important.
[ Baby crying .]
IS THAT AIDEN? HOW'S HE DOING? Aiden -- Aiden's good.
He's got gas.
[ Chuckles .]
ANYWAY, I'M GONNA GET OFF THE PHONE.
I LOVE YOU.
All right, I love you, too.
ALL RIGHT.
[ Crying continues .]
We miss you.
I MISS YOU, TOO.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS .]
THIS JOB, ISN'T A MATTER OF IF, IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN YOU GET HURT.
I WAS 100% CONFIDENT THAT I WAS MADE TO DO THIS JOB.
Narrator: 30 MILES SOUTH THESE WAVES ARE BIG.
AND THEY WANT TO ATTACK.
WHAT WE'RE DOING DIFFERENT IS WE'RE NOT WORKING ON THE WAY OVER.
BECAUSE THEY'RE EXPOSED.
WHERE THEY'RE KIND OF HIDING UP FORWARD.
ONCE THEY GET TO THE NEXT POT, SO THEY CAN WORK UNDER SHELTER UP AGAINST THE WIND.
I KNOW.
Narrator: TO KEEP FISHING IN THE HEART OF THE STORM Sig: A LOT OF GUYS PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BOTHERED HAULING IN THIS.
Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN HAS IMPLEMENTED A HAUL-AND-HIDE STRATEGY.
OH, HO, HO, HO! BUT THE BERING SEA CONTINUES TO PACK A NASTY WALLOP.
OH! THERE'S STILL COMBERS THAT COME THROUGH.
THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS HURT SOMEBODY.
THIS IS DOABLE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT.
OKAY.
I WANT TO JUST KEEP FOLLOWING THE CRAB.
THAT'S GONNA BE THE TRICK FOR US.
OH, BOY.
NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD.
[ BEEP .]
AH, WATER.
[ LAUGHS .]
126! [ WAVE CRASHES .]
WHOA! WATCH OUT! Sig: COME ON, PLEASE.
DON'T BE WEAK.
OH, BOY.
FISHING DROPPED OFF CONSIDERABLY.
THEY DROPPED.
THEY DROPPED IN HALF.
TRAWL LINE ON THE CRAB AREN'T TRAWLING BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN BLOWING FOR DAYS LIKE THIS.
OH.
COME ON NOW.
EASY, GIRL.
WATCH OUT.
GET OFF THE RAIL.
OHH! I'M WET! RIGHT UP AGAINST IT.
WHAT THE HELL? YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
OH [BLEEP.]
IT'S ENOUGH.
IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK.
[ RADIO BEEPS .]
HEY, THAT'S IT.
WE'RE DONE.
YOU GUYS JUST TIGHTEN UP THE DECK, GO IN.
LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.
I'M OLDER.
THE CREW'S GETTING OLDER.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED, AND I WOULD HAVE JUST KEPT GRINDING.
I WOULD HAVE TOOK EVERY CRAB AND PUT IT IN THE TANK JUST OUT OF PRIDE.
I WOULD HAVE FORCED IT.
AND TODAY, I CAN'T SAY THE SAME.
ARE WE GIVING UP? NO, WE'RE NOT GIVING UP, BUT TRYING TO WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER, YOU KNOW? THAT'S WHERE MY MENTALITY'S CHANGED.
WE JUST GOT TO COME BACK OUT AND REGROUP.
HOPE THESE LITTLE BUGGERS ARE CRAWLING AGAIN.
Narrator: WITH CAPTAIN SIG'S HAUL-AND-HIDE STRATEGY, THE NORTHWESTERN OVERTAKES THE TIME BANDIT.
GO.
AH, STOP! AAH! [BLEEP.]
WHAT'S THE MATTER? [BLEEP.]
OH, DUDE.
[BLEEP.]
[ SCREAMING .]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS .]
OHH! HOLY [BLEEP.]
WHAT THE [BLEEP.]
WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I GRAB? OW! [ LAUGHTER .]
GOTCHA! HOLY [BLEEP.]
YOU JUST SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
Bill: YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA STILL BE ABLE TO HAUL GEAR? Narrator: IN DUTCH HARBOR IT'S TIME TO START PAYING THE BILLS.
Narrator: WITH THEIR GEARWORK FINALLY COMPLETE TURN HER UP, MAN.
TIME TO GO FISHING.
THE CORNELIA MARIE THROWS HER LINES AT LONG LAST.
ENGINE READY! Casey: HAD A LOT OF GEARWORK TO COMPLETE.
CREW GOT A LITTLE ROWDY AND ENDED UP COSTING US ONE OF OUR BEST GUYS.
GOT ALL WORKED UP.
AND NOW WE'RE LEAVING TOWN WITHOUT HIM.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
IT'S TIME TO GO TO WORK, THOUGH, ALL FEELINGS ASIDE.
WE'RE LATE.
WE GOT TO MAKE UP SOME TIME.
LET'S JUST GO TO WORK.
Narrator: AS DAWN BREAKS, THE VIOLENT STORM RECEDES INTO A MEMORY.
ABOARD THE SAGA IT WAS THE LONGEST FIVE SECONDS OF MY LIFE.
VERY EASILY, SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOT WASHED OVERBOARD ON THAT DEAL.
I'M GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO JAKE 'CAUSE THAT WOULD KNOCK YOU WAY BACK.
BUT TODAY'S A GOOD DAY.
BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW I DO.
HE NEEDS CONFIDENCE TO KEEP HIMSELF GOING THROUGH THIS.
Narrator: FOR FRESHMAN CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS SEASON AND EVERYBODY'S ALIVE AND EVERYBODY'S SAFE.
Narrator: THE NEW DAY BRINGS FAMILIAR CHALLENGES AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE.
WATER IS SUPER CLEAR.
A BEAUTIFUL GREEN.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUN COMING THROUGH THE WAVES.
THE SUN'S COMING UP, IT'S A NEW DAY, BUT I'M FEELING A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.
I FEEL A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.
THE WAVE REALLY AFFECTED ME BECAUSE I JUST SEEING THAT HAPPEN TO, YOU KNOW, A LONG-TIME, EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL, IT JUST SHOOK ME UP PRETTY BAD.
IT'S TIME TO HAUL SOME GEAR.
[ SEA GULLS CALLING .]
Wade: HE'S JUST BEING A LITTLE TIMID.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO HURT ANYBODY.
HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO SCREW UP.
HE'S JUST GOT TO REALIZE THAT EVERYBODY SCREWS UP.
Jake: I DON'T THINK THE CREW MEMBERS TRUST ME FULLY.
I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY REASON TO.
THEY ARE NOT GONNA TRUST ME UNTIL THEY SEE THE PAYCHECK.
THAT'S A GOOD POT RIGHT THERE.
Man: HELL, YEAH! THERE'S MY MONEY! Brandon: 250 IN THAT ONE.
NOT A LOT, BUT THEY'RE NICE AND CLEAN.
WE'RE DOING GOOD SO FAR.
A LOT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO CRAB, YOU KNOW? I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO CRAB.
BUT I WAS NEVER REALLY ANY GOOD AT IT.
IT JUST BEAT ME UP TOO BAD.
DADDY'S GOT A PAYCHECK.
ALL KEEPERS.
CRAB FISHING'S GETTING BETTER.
Mike: THE FIRST FEW POTS, YOU'RE DOING WELL.
PROBABLY GOT AROUND 300.
Jake: 300! I'VE BEEN UP.
I'VE BEEN DOWN.
I'VE BEEN UP AGAIN AND UP AND DOWN AGAIN.
