Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 9 - The Russian Line - full transcript
Competition doubles when the quota is cut in half. Three captains arrive early for the winter season, but Johnathan goes one step further and plots a dangerous, 600-mile course to Russia.
[ WIND HOWLING ]
*
Keith: THERE'S NO QUESTION.
WINTER'S HERE.
[ EAGLE SCREECHING ]
THE TOWN IS SO QUIET.
IT'S ALMOST EERIE.
IT'S QUIET BECAUSE
THERE AREN'T AS MANY PEOPLE
WHO ARE GONNA FISH THIS YEAR.
THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL.
THIS SEASON'S GONNA BE AS BAD
AS WE'VE EVER SEEN.
OH, MAN!
WATCH OUT, GUYS.
WATCH, WATCH, WATCH, WATCH OUT.
-OH, WHOA!
-LOOK OUT!
LOOK OUT!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
WHOA, WHOA!
GET IT OFF HIM. GET IT OFF HIM.
Keith: WE ARE GOING TO BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF STORM ALLEY.
HANG ON, HANG ON.
Man: WHEW!
-WATCH OUT!
-OH, WATCH IT!
OH!
-WHAT HAPPENED?
-WHAT HAPPENED?
-MOVE!
-MOVE!
IS HE OKAY?
Keith: I'M EXPECTING
NOTHING BUT THE WORST.
Man: WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE FISHING VESSEL
REMAINS A MYSTERY TONIGHT.
[ HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING ]

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
Narrator:
DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA.
Keith: FIRST THING WE GOT TO DO
IS GET THIS BOAT WARMED UP.
WE'RE PROBABLY 10 DAYS AHEAD
OF THE FLEET RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: FOR SOME, THE WINTER
SEASON HAS STARTED EARLY.
THE OPILIO QUOTA
GOT CUT IN HALF.
THERE REALLY ISN'T
THAT MUCH CRAB FOR US TO CATCH.
Narrator:
WITH SURVEYS SHOWING JUST HALF
THE FISHABLE CRAB
ON THE GROUNDS,
FISH AND GAME HAS
SLASHED THE QUOTA BY 50%.
Keith: WE'RE GONNA TRY AND BE
THE FIRST BOAT
ON THE GROUNDS FOR OPIES.
YEP, WIRE UP!
Narrator: CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN
PLANS TO GET A JUMP ON THE FLEET
TO OFFSET THE COMPETITION
FOR DWINDLING CRAB.
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET OUR BAIT,
OUR FOOD, OUR POTS,
AND WE CAN GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
Narrator:
WHILE ACROSS THE HARBOR...
-RUDDER!
-GOOD!
Sean: EVERYBODY FLEW UP EARLY
SO WE CAN GET A GOOD START
ON THIS COD SEASON.
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
IS MAKING UP FOR LOST QUOTA
BY FISHING ANOTHER SPECIES
BEFORE HIS OPILIO.
Sean: THE PLAN RIGHT NOW IS
TO GO OUT AND CATCH AS MUCH COD
AS WE CAN AS FAST AS WE CAN
AND GO FISH OPIES.
IT'S WHAT I GOT TO DO
TO PAY THE BILLS.
[ EAGLE SCREECHING ]
Narrator:
AND ON THE TIME BANDIT...
AS SOON AS WE START,
THE BETTER OFF WE ARE.
WE GOT A WEEK JUMP
ON THE WHOLE FLEET.
Narrator: ...FOR CAPTAIN
JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND,
AN EARLY START ALONE
ISN'T ENOUGH.
HE HAS ANOTHER TRICK
UP HIS SLEEVE.
Johnathan: THE SURVEY SHOWS
ALL THE CRAB UP BY RUSSIA.
WE'RE GONNA BE UP HERE
BY THE RUSSIAN LINE.
HERE'S OUR ROUTE HERE.
THIS IS HOW FAR WE GOT TO GO.
-MIGHT AS WELL.
-HAIL MARY. SHOOT THE MOON.
Narrator: JOHNATHAN IS BETTING
HE'LL FIND HIS BOUNTY
WELL PAST THE TRADITIONAL
OPILIO GROUNDS
BY THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
IT'S ONLY 674 MILES
HERE AND RUSSIA.
YOU'RE ON RUSSIAN BEACH.
YOU'LL ACTUALLY
HIT RUSSIA, THE ROCK.
675 MILES, YEAH.
WE WON'T MAKE IT
PAST THE GRAY SHIPS. YEAH.
WE'RE HEADED TO RUSSIA, BABY.
GO FIND THE MOTHER LODE BEFORE
ANYONE ELSE GETS OUT HERE.
Narrator:
IF THE VETERAN CAPTAIN MISSES,
HE'S WASTED $40,000
IN FOOD AND FUEL.
YOU KNOW, WE ARE A LONG WAYS
AWAY FROM EVERYBODY.
-YEAH.
-IT'S GONNA BE SCARY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF ANYBODY'S
GONNA BE UP THERE AROUND US.
NO, IT'S GONNA BE SCARY, DUDE.
IF WE GET IN TROUBLE OUT THERE,
THERE'S GONNA BE NO ONE
TO GET US.
Narrator: AND FISHING THAT FAR
NORTH LEAVES THE TIME BANDIT
OUTSIDE THE RANGE
OF RESCUE HELICOPTERS.
COAST GUARD
AIN'T GONNA GET US.
KEITH'S SUPPOSED TO BE
A DAY BEHIND US.
-KEITH COLBURN, THE WIZARD.
-WELL, I HOPE SO.
Narrator: BUT THE VETERAN
CAPTAIN ISN'T PLANNING
ON GOING IT ALONE.
AT LEAST ONE MORE BOAT
UP THERE WITH US.
Johnathan:
COMES A TIME IN A MAN'S LIFE
WHERE HE GOES,
"SHOOT THE MOON, BITCH!"
THE ASTRONAUTS HAD TO GO
TO THE MOON. I'M GOING.
THAT MUST BE MR. COLBURN.
[ HORN HONKING ]
THAT MUST BE MY TRUCK.
I'M EXCITED.
WE'LL WORK TOGETHER AGAIN
LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR.
MY BUDDY, KEITH,
THAT'S A GOOD PARTNER TO HAVE.
AHA! PERFECT TIMING.
YOU BROUGHT --
YOU BROUGHT THE --
I HAVE STRANGERS
BEARING GIFTS.
-[ LAUGHS ]
-HOW'S IT GOING?
UM, GOOD.
I'M WAITING FOR THE COMPUTER
TO DO WHATEVER IT'S DOING.
Narrator: KEITH AND MONTE
COLBURN BOARD THE TIME BANDIT
TO GET BRIEFED
ON THE RUSSIA PLAN.
I WANT TO SEE
WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
OKAY, YEAH,
LET ME SHOW YOU.
I'M GONNA PITCH LIKE 170 MILES
FROM THE PENINSULA THERE.
-WELL, THAT'S THE SPOT.
-WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
-I'M NOT GOING THAT FAR.
-WE'RE GOING EAST SIDE, RIGHT?
I'M GOING TO EAST SIDE.
I'M JUST GOING OUT OF TOWN.
-WHAT?
-100 MILES FROM TOWN, YEAH.
YEP. 130 MILES.
I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA
GO TO RUSSIA TOGETHER.
-I'M NOT GOING TO RUSSIA.
-DAMN YOU.
-IT'S 100 MILES OUT.
-I BEEN UP THERE BEFORE,
AND THAT CANYON
HAS BEEN BONE DRY.
-YEAH.
-BONE [BLEEP] DRY.
IF I'M RETIRING,
I WANT TO GO OUT WITH A --
LIKE, BIG.
BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG.
Narrator: JOHNATHAN PLANNED
TO TOP OFF HIS FINAL SEASON
WITH AN EPIC CONQUEST.
IT'D BE A GOOD WAY
TO GO OUT, ON TOP.
BUT IF HE WANTS
TO CONQUER RUSSIA,
IT'LL BE A SOLO MISSION.
WE'RE GONNA GO OUT
AND SET THE GEAR
AND FILL THE BOAT
BEFORE YOU EVEN GET
TO WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEN I'LL HAVE TO TAKE
YOUR DELIVERY DATE.
[BLEEP]
GOOD LUCK. I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
SAFE TRAVELS.
CALL ME, MAN. IF I DON'T HEAR
FROM YOU IN 24 HOURS,
I'M CALLING
THE COAST GUARD, OKAY?
I WANT YOU TO CHECK IN
AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.
-I WILL CHECK IN.
-SO WHAT'S THE CODE?
-"BEEP, BEEP"?
-BEEP, BEEP.
-BEEP, BEEP.
-BEEP, BEEP.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.
Johnathan: I HAVE A DREAM.
MY DREAM IS TO GO
BY THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
AND THEN THE BROTHERS,
COLBURNS JUST COME OVER
AND SHOT ME OUT OF THE WATER.
I'M STILL GOING.
[ EAGLE SCREECHING ]
Narrator:
BACK ON THE BRENNA A...
WHAT'S UP, DUDES?
I KNOW WE CAME UP HERE
TO TRY TO GET OUT EARLY
AND TRY TO GET A HEAD START.
SO THE PLAN IS TO GO OUT,
SET A LOAD OF GEAR,
AND THEN JUST START FISHING.
Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER AND CREW
NAIL DOWN SOME LOOSE ENDS
BEFORE THROWING LINES.
HOW ARE WE LOOKING
ON THE GEAR?
Man:
GOT 120 READY TO GO RIGHT NOW.
-COOL.
-IT SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG.
WE GOT TO GET A JUMP START.
NOVEMBER DIDN'T REALLY
PAN OUT FOR US.
Man:
THIS ISN'T LOOKING GOOD.
Narrator: LAST FALL, SEAN FISHED
COD FOR THE FIRST TIME...
Sean:
MUCH AS I LIKE TO HAUL GEAR,
WHAT'S THE POINT IF
YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY MONEY?
Narrator:
...AND BARELY BROKE EVEN.
WE'VE MADE 500 BUCKS
AFTER EXPENSES FOR THIS TRIP.
SERIOUSLY?
Sean:
WITH OPIES CUT IN HALF,
I NEED TO MAKE
MORE MONEY COD FISHING.
IT NEEDS TO PAY.
I GOT TO TRY TO MAKE
SOMETHING HAPPEN
TO KEEP THIS BUSINESS RUNNING.
IT'S OUR FAMILY BUSINESS.
I MEAN, THIS IS OUR LEGACY.
WE NEED THIS THIS YEAR.
Narrator: WITH THE FUTURE
OF THE FAMILY OPERATION
RIDING SQUARELY ON THE YOUNG
SKIPPER'S SHOULDERS...
Sean:
DUTCH HARBOR'S RIGHT HERE.
WE'RE THINKING OF GOING
A LITTLE BIT FURTHER THIS WAY.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Narrator: ...SEAN IS NOT ONLY
MOVING TO DIFFERENT GROUNDS...
Sean:
WE'RE TRYING A DIFFERENT BAIT.
Narrator: ... HE'S CHANGING UP
HIS FISHING TACTICS.
Sean: THIS IS A MUCH OILIER,
SMALLER FISH.
AND THEN THE NEXT THING
WE'RE GONNA TRY
IS HANGING THE BAIT BAG
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POT.
SO IF THIS FISH WANT
TO GET TO THAT PIÑATA,
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET
IN THE POT TO GET IT.
WE'RE JUST HOPING
THE FISH ARE THERE,
WE GO TO THE RIGHT SPOT,
AND WE'LL JUST HIT IT HARD.
Narrator:
LOADED UP WITH GEAR AND BAIT...
Sean: OKAY, LET'S GET THIS SHOW
ON THE ROAD.
Man: OKAY, LET'S ROLL!
Narrator: ...THE ROOKIE SKIPPER
IS FIRST TO THROW LINES.
-WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
-YEAH-YEAH!
YEAH.
I'M NOT HERE FOR THE MONEY.
I'M HERE 'CAUSE I LOVE IT.
THAT'S A [BLEEP] LIE.
[ LAUGHS ]
Narrator:
AS THE BRENNA A CHARGES OUT...
Johnathan: THANK YOU.
SEE YOU IN EIGHT DAYS.
WE'RE GOING TO RUSSIA!
Narrator: ...THE TIME BANDIT
FOLLOWS CLOSE BEHIND.
WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY UP
BY RUSSIA.
NO MAN'S LAND. WE'RE GONNA BE
THE ONLY GUYS OUT THERE.
Johnathan: WE GOT TO DO A
DRIVE-BY OVER THERE ON COLBURN.
LET'S GO GIVE KEITH
A LITTLE BUZZ.
Narrator:
BUT BEFORE LEAVING TOWN,
THE VETERAN SKIPPER TAKES
A SLIGHT DETOUR.
KEITH WAS GONNA GO
TO RUSSIA WITH ME,
I THOUGHT,
THEN NOW HE'S JUST GONNA
GO TO THE EAST SIDE.
OH, YEAH.
LET'S GO TO RUSSIA. COME ON.
[ LAUGHS ]
NO WAY.
RUSSIA!
ARE YOU ROLLING
OUT OF HERE?
OKAY, YEAH. FREDDY WANTS
TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING.
WE'RE TURNING AROUND,
AND HE WANTS
TO HAND YOU SOMETHING.
NEVER GET OLD! NEVER GETS OLD!
WE GONNA GIVE
THE WIZARD BREAKFAST!
WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?
OUR LAST SEASON, WE WANT
TO GO OUT WITH PRIDE, DIGNITY.
HEY, BABY!
-[ LAUGHS ]
-YEAH!
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ Laughing ]
ARE THEY EGGING US?
YEAH!
[ LAUGHS ]
OKAY. WE'RE ON OUR WAY
TO RUSSIA.
[ LAUGHS ]
HERE COMES AN EGGS.
[ LAUGHS ]
OH, GOD.
YEAH!
[ LAUGHTER ]
OH, THAT'S IT.
OHH.
YEAH, BABY!
[ SCREAMING ]
THAT MADE MY DAY. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S OUR FUN.
TIME TO GO TO WORK.
BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, BOYS.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO RUSSIA.
Narrator: COMING UP...
Roger: GOT A NEW BAIT BOY.
TURNS OUT,
IT'S THE CAPTAIN'S SON.
COME ON. PUT SOME SACK
INTO IT, KID!
A LONG WAYS FROM CIVILIZATION.
Man:
GOING TO RUSSIA, BOYS. WHOO!
WE EITHER MAKE IT,
OR WE BREAK IT.
Man: LET'S DO IT!
Man #2:
WHOA WHAT THE [BLEEP]
THE HELL HAPPENED?
Narrator: DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA.
ON THE WIZARD...
THERE'S NO REASON
TO DRIVE ALMOST 600 MILES
TO GO LOOK FOR OPIES.
HE'S GOING ALL THE WAY UP
TO THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
Narrator: AFTER BOWING OUT
OF JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND'S
RUSSIAN ADVENTURE...
Keith: THERE'S SOME CLASSIC
SPOTS TO FISH ON THE EAST SIDE.
Narrator:
...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN
WILL BE FISHING CLOSER TO HOME.
Caelan: A LITTLE BIT MORE.
2 MORE FEET, 3 MORE FEET.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,
A THIRD COLBURN
WILL BE ABOARD...
HEY, SOPER, CAN YOU
GO UP ON THE ROPE?
...KEITH'S 20-YEAR-OLD SON,
CAELAN.
A LITTLE MORE.
I SAW CAELAN WHEN HE WAS IN
I THINK SECOND OR THIRD GRADE.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
GOT A NEW BAIT BOY
FOR THIS FIRST TRIP OF OPIES,
AND TURNS OUT,
IT'S THE CAPTAIN'S SON.
SO, WE'LL SEE IF HIS DAD
TAUGHT HIM ANYTHING
WITHOUT HIM BEING UP HERE.
THE CONVERSATION WAS LITERALLY
ABOUT TWO SECONDS.
IT WAS, LIKE, "SO, UH,
WANT TO COME DO OPIES
THIS SEASON?"
I WAS LIKE, "SURE."
HE'S LIKE, "ALL RIGHT."
FIRST TIME IN DUTCH.
EAGLES MESSING AROUND,
CHEWING UP THE BAIT.
THIS IS THE COOLEST WORK
YOU COULD DEFINITELY DO.
I'M A FINANCE MAJOR,
FINANCE AND ADVERTISING.
HOW MANY FINANCE GUYS
HAVE BEEN OPIE FISHING?
-ROGER, HELP ME OUT!
-HE'S GOT YOU.
Man: IF YOU CAN
MAKE THAT ONE LIKE THAT,
WE'LL BE BRINGING THOSE
BACK DOWN.
HE'S DOING ALL RIGHT.
HE'S JUMPING AROUND.
A LOT TO LEARN,
OBVIOUSLY, BUT --
HERE, COME BACK TOWARDS ME
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.
Keith: COME ON.
PUT SOME SACK INTO IT, KID!
YOU GONNA [BLEEP]
STAND THERE THE WHOLE TIME?
UH, YEAH. I OWN THE BOAT.
THAT'S WHAT I DO.
I STAND AND OBSERVE.
I COACH.
I PREACH. I TEACH.
WELL, THANK GOD
YOU'RE HERE.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
Keith:
MY SON NEEDS TO LIVE UP
TO A PRETTY HIGH BAR
OF EXPECTATIONS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DIDN'T
EVEN NEED TO TELL HIM THAT.
HE KNOWS IT.
Caelan: OH! [BLEEP]
I [BLEEP] CUT THE MESH.
OH [BLEEP]
Man: YOU BETTER FIGURE OUT
HOW TO FIX IT, KID.
I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE
TO WORK WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW, AS A FISHERMAN,
I'VE LOST A LOT OF TIME
WITH MY KIDS.
I SPENT ONE HALLOWEEN
WITH MY KIDS. THAT'S IT.
NOW TO BE ABLE TO GET HIM
OUT HERE TO DO THIS
IS FORTUNATE, YOU KNOW?
I'M JUST TRYING TO USE
THE BEST TIME I HAVE RIGHT NOW
WHILE I HAVE SOME TIME LEFT
WITH MY KID.
*
Narrator: 12 HOURS LATER,
WITH HIS BOAT PREPPED...
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
-GETTING READY TO GO, SOPER.
-HEY.
...THE CAPTAIN IS READY
TO CHARGE OUT BEFORE DAYBREAK...
Keith: WE'RE GONNA GET
A SEVEN-DAY JUMP ON THE FLEET.
I MEAN, BASICALLY,
IT'S WIDE OPEN.
Narrator: ...AND GET A LEG UP
ON THE COMPETITION.
Keith: GOT MY SON ON THE BOAT.
GOT A GREAT CREW.
JUST HOPE THERE'S
GOOD FISHING HERE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
LET'S DO THIS.
Narrator:
ALREADY ON THE COD GROUNDS...
Sean: GUYS, GET READY TO POP
CHAINS OFF AND ALL THAT.
ROGER. PUT LIFE JACKETS ON.
GOING UP.
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
SUPERVISES THE BRENNA A CREW
AS THEY PREPARE FOR THE FIRST
COD HAUL OF THE WINTER SEASON.
Sean: SO, WE'RE GOING A LITTLE
FURTHER AWAY FROM DUTCH,
A LITTLE FURTHER
AWAY FROM TRAFFIC.
HOPEFULLY, WE CATCH SOME FISH.
HANGING THE BAIT UPSIDE DOWN,
NEW BAIT IN ITSELF.
Narrator: AFTER A BITTER FAILURE
LAST FALL...
-WE GOOD?
-YEAH, THAT LOOKS GOOD.
...THE YOUNG CAPTAIN
IS LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED
TO KEEP HIS FAMILY
BUSINESS ABOVE WATER.
HOPEFULLY, WE GET A LITTLE BIT
MORE NUMBERS OUT OF IT.
SOMETIMES YOU GOT
TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN,
SO GIVE IT A SHOT.
Narrator:
565 MILES NORTHWEST,
FAR ABOVE ANY BOAT
IN THE FLEET...
WE'RE NOT DOING THE SAFEST THING
BY COMING OUT HERE ALL ALONE,
AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO AWAY.
Narrator:
...CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND
LOOKS TO END HIS CAREER ON TOP.
BUT I WANT A GOOD GLORY STORY
IF THIS IS GONNA BE
MY LAST SEASON.
Narrator: ...AS HE GUIDES
THE TIME BANDIT NORTHWEST.
WE CAN'T STOP.
WE GOT TO KEEP IT ROLLING.
WE'RE LIKE ROLLING THUNDER.
Narrator:
AFTER A 70-HOUR STEAM
AND 2,000 GALLONS OF FUEL,
THE TIME BANDIT
REACHES ITS DESTINATION...
RIGHT. THANK YOU, WOODY.
Narrator:
...THE RUSSIAN LINE.
[ MEN CONTINUE SPEAKING RUSSIAN
OVER RADIO ]
Johnathan:
WELL, WE MADE IT.
WE'RE, LIKE,
IN NO-MAN'S LAND, MAN.
I HAVEN'T SEEN A BOAT IN DAYS.
SO IT'S SORT OF SCARY
OUT HERE, YOU KNOW?
A LONG WAYS FROM CIVILIZATION.
WE'RE AT
THE RUSSIAN LINE, DUDE.
WE'RE ALL THE WAY
OUT HERE BY RUSSIA,
SO WE WANT TO LET
OUR PRESENCE BE KNOWN!
BOOM OR BUST, BOYS. WHOO!
SINK OR SWIM.
-LET'S DO IT!
-WHOO!
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S LET THE FIRST ONE GO.
Man: GOING OVER.
[ ALL SHOUTING EXCITEDLY ]
OKAY, GUYS.
GOING OVER.
WE GOT THE BORDER SET,
RUSSIAN BORDER SET.
THERE'S THE LINE THERE,
AND WE'RE GONNA SET
STRAIGHT UP THE LINE.
Man #2:
2017 OPIES, BABY!
WE'RE JUST STRETCHING 'EM OUT,
COVERING DOWN.
GIVES US MORE CHANCES
OF FINDING SOMETHING.
Narrator:
TO MAKE HIS PRESENCE KNOWN,
JOHNATHAN DROPS
THE MOTHER OF ALL SETS --
A WHOPPING 150-MILE
PROSPECT STREAM.
RUN TWO HOURS, SET FOUR
OR FIVE POTS A MILE APART,
RUN ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF,
SET FIVE.
RUN AN HOUR.
Narrator: ...CLUSTERING POTS
AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS
TO CLOSE IN ON THE RUSSIAN CRAB.
WE GOT GEAR SPREAD EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
TO FIND SOMETHING.
Eddie Jr.: WE EITHER MAKE IT,
OR WE BREAK IT.
WE'RE SO FAR NORTH
THAT IT'S A LONG WAYS
TO RUN ANYWHERE ELSE.
GOING OVER.
Narrator: FISHING IN UNPROVEN
WATERS MILES FROM DUTCH...
THESE COULD ALL BE BLANKS.
[ LAUGHS ]
EVERY ONE OF THESE POTS I SET
COULD BE A BLANK.
Narrator: ...THE RETIRING
CAPTAIN IS TAKING A HUGE GAMBLE
TO START HIS FINAL
OPILIO SEASON.
WE'LL FIND OUT HOW GOOD WE DID
ABOUT 30 HOURS FROM NOW.
IT'S BRUTAL, BUT WE WILL KNOW.
Narrator: 150 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...
Keith: SO, YOU BE REAL AWARE
OF THAT BAIT TRAPPER, OKAY?
Caelan: YEAH.
Narrator: ...ON THE WIZARD...
YOUR HANDS NEVER GO IN THERE.
YOU'RE GONNA GET BEHIND.
YOU'RE GONNA THROW THE BAIT
IN THERE. THE BOAT'S GONNA ROLL,
AND THAT THING'S GONNA GRAB
AND JUST "WHUMPH!"
JUST PULL YOU RIGHT IN.
Narrator:
ARRIVING AT THE GROUNDS
FOR HIS FIRST SET
OF THE WINTER SEASON,
CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN
ARMS HIS 20-YEAR-OLD SON
WITH SOME WORDS OF ADVICE.
JUST NEVER TAKE
YOUR FEET UP OFF THE DECK.
SHUFFLE ALONG
AND MAKE SURE
ALL THAT LINE'S
WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT.
OKAY, YEAH.
I'M GONNA HEAD
BACK DOWNSTAIRS.
ALL RIGHT.
Keith: I'D BE LYING IF I SAID
IT DIDN'T HAVE ME
A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
HAVING MY BOY
OUT THERE, YOU KNOW?
I'VE SEEN TOO MANY THINGS HAPPEN
IN THE BERING SEA.
Man: WATCH OUT!
OHH!
AAH!
ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT
A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD COMING OUT
OF THE SIDE OF YOUR EYE.
Man #2:
GET AWAY FROM THE POT!
Man #3:
WATCH OUT. HANG ON! HANG ON!
HOLY [BLEEP]
HEY, I NEED SOME COMMUNICATION
HERE RIGHT AWAY.
NOW I'VE GOT MY BOYS OUT THERE
PRETTY MUCH ON THE FRONT LINES.
FIRST POT
GOING IN THE RACK!
YOU STAY UP THERE MAKING BAIT
TILL I CALL YOU,
BECAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE YOU
OVER HERE EARLY,
BECAUSE YOU NEED
EVERY SECOND YOU GOT.
Narrator: BEFORE THE FIRST POT
GOES OVER THE RAIL,
UNCLE MONTE
HAS SOME ADVICE OF HIS OWN
FOR HIS YOUNG NEPHEW.
"EVERY SECOND COUNTS"
IS A HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT.
NOW, YOU WANT THAT FARTHER UP.
THAT'S RIGHT IN THE CENTER.
YOU WANT IT UP IN, LIKE,
THIS REGION RIGHT HERE.
THERE YOU GO.
IF HE CAN JUST
SURVIVE THIS, YOU KNOW --
I KNOW CAELAN'S NOT A QUITTER,
BUT THEN AGAIN,
HE'S NEVER DONE THIS, EITHER.
OKAY, GOOD. LET 'ER GO.
YEAH, BABY! HERE WE GO.
FIRST POT OF THE SEASON,
GOING OVERBOARD!
Caelan: FEELING GOOD. TRYING
TO RUN AS FAST AS I CAN,
NOT SLOW EVERYONE ELSE DOWN,
THAT'S THE MAIN GOAL.
Monte: YEP!
HOLD THAT!
HE JUST SAID HE'S DOING GOOD.
EIGHT HOURS FROM NOW,
HE'LL PROBABLY SAY,
"I'M DOING ALL RIGHT."
THEN EIGHT HOURS FROM THEN,
HE'LL PROBABLY BE LIKE, "DAMN."
WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY
OF MAKING MISTAKES THIS YEAR.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY
WHAT HAS ME THE MOST NERVOUS.
[ SIGHS ]
Narrator: WITH 185 POTS
TO GET OFF THE DECK,
THE CREW OF THE WIZARD
GRINDS LATE INTO THE NIGHT.
Monte: OH, MAN, THERE'S ONLY
ONE BAIT IN THERE!
WE NEED ANOTHER BAIT,
DOUBLE TIME!
RIGHT HERE!
Narrator:
EIGHT HOURS INTO THE SET...
DAD TOLD ME WE'RE
DOING THE BIG FISH.
-ALL RIGHT, OPEN IT UP!
-OPEN THE DOOR.
...CAELAN STARTS TO FADE.
OKAY.
Monte: NO BAIT!
[ Chuckling ] NO BAIT.
WHAT THE [BLEEP]
THAT'S A NO-NO.
Keith: THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY
THAT CAN GET BLAMED FOR THAT.
WE KNOW WHO THAT IS.
FIRST DAY'S HARD.
SECOND DAY'S MISERY.
WE'LL SEE IN A COUPLE DAYS
WHERE HE'S AT.
[ CAELAN COUGHS ]
Narrator: FATIGUE ISN'T ALL
THAT AILS THE GREENHORN.
Caelan: OH, I JUST BLEW CHUNKS.
THAT'S GREAT.
Keith:
IS HE OKAY, MOUSE?
HE'S ALSO GETTING HIS FIRST
TASTE OF SEASICKNESS...
Monte:
YEAH, I THINK HE'S ALL RIGHT!
[ RETCHING ]
...AND HIS SECOND.
OH, HE DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A GREENHORN,
NOT A GREEN FACE.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
LOOKING A LITTLE
GHOSTLY NOW.
[ RETCHING ]
HE'LL BE FINE. YEAH.
HE'LL DRINK A BUNCH OF WATER,
MAKE SURE HE STAYS HYDRATED.
I'M GONNA AVOID
TRYING TO BE THE MOTHER HEN.
IT'D BE REAL EASY TO SPEND TOO
MUCH TIME WORRYING ABOUT HIM.
RIGHT NOW,
WHAT I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT
IS FINDING SOME CRAB
AND GETTING THIS BOAT FISHING.
I'M A CAPTAIN FIRST,
DAD SECOND.
Narrator:
140 MILES SOUTHEAST,
ON THE COD GROUNDS...
WE'LL BE THERE SHORTLY.
GOT ABOUT A MILE.
THE GUYS ARE GETTING
THE DECK SET UP,
AND WE'LL GET GOING.
Narrator:
...BRENNA A CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
IS ABOUT TO PULL
HIS FIRST COD POTS
OF THE WINTER SEASON.
GONNA TRY A FEW THINGS
DIFFERENTLY.
WE'RE TRYING A DIFFERENT BAIT.
Narrator: AND HE'S GOING ALL-IN
ON A NEW STRATEGY.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BAIT 'EM UP
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POT
RATHER THAN HANGING 'EM
FROM THE TOP OF THE POT.
I'VE NEVER HUNG BAIT
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POT.
SOMETHING NEW THIS TIME,
AND HOPEFULLY IT ALL WORKS OUT.
WE'LL SEE.
NEW BAIT, NEW TECHNIQUE.
PRETTY WILD IDEA TO TRY 'EM
BOTH AT THE SAME TIME,
BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
HARD AND FAST, BABY!
OH, YEAH!
Sean:
NOVEMBER, WE DIDN'T DO SO WELL.
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE
SOME BIGGER FISH HERE.
Narrator: LEAN CRAB QUOTAS
HAVE MADE SUCCESS
ON THE COD GROUNDS CRUCIAL
TO THE HEALTH OF THE YOUNG
SKIPPER'S FAMILY BUSINESS.
I HOPE WE GOT 'EM.
THIS IS EXCITING.
Zack: WE WANT TO SEE
SOME COD REALLY BAD,
GET SOME MONEY IN OUR POCKETS.
WE NEED AT LEAST FIVE
TO COVER THE EXPENSES.
BUT, GOD, I HOPE
WE HAVE MORE THAN FIVE.
I'D GO FOR 25, 30.
-THERE IT IS!
-YEAH!
-YEAH!
-[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH, THERE'S A FEW IN THERE.
THAT'S A GOOD-LOOKING POT.
[ LAUGHS ]
Man:
LOOKS LIKE WE GOT ABOUT 20 HERE.
NICE, BIG, FAT FISH.
HOPEFULLY THEY ALL
LOOK LIKE THIS.
Sean: FIRST FISH JUST
WENT IN THE TANK,
SO THAT 72-HOUR CLOCK STARS.
RIGHT NOW, EVERY MINUTE COUNTS,
'CAUSE WE STARTED OUR CLOCK.
Narrator:
WITH COD COMING OVER THE RAIL...
YOU RUN THE RISK OF THE FISH
GOING BAD IN YOUR TANK.
BASICALLY, THERE'S
BACTERIA IN THE FISH.
Narrator: ...THE RACE IS ON
FOR SEAN TO CATCH AS MUCH
AS HE CAN BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT.
Man: YEAH, YEAH!
LOOKING A LITTLE
BETTER ON THE SECOND POT.
THERE'S A [BLEEP] LOAD OF COD.
A LOT OF FISH ON THAT TABLE.
PROBABLY 35 FISH IN THAT ONE.
THOSE FIRST TWO POTS
HAD A LOT OF FISH IN 'EM.
SO FAR, SO GOOD.
WE'RE MAKING MONEY
AT THIS POINT, FOR SURE.
WE JUST GOT TO KEEP GOING
AROUND THE CLOCK HERE.
THAT [BLEEP] CLOCK
KEEPS TICKING AWAY.
Narrator:
COD FISHERMEN PULL THREE TIMES
MORE POTS PER DAY THAN CRABBERS.
CREWS HAVE TO HAUL,
RESET, AND DUMP
IN A CONTINUOUS GRIND.
YEAH!
Sean: WE'RE JUST GONNA
KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.
KEEP MOVING.
[ ALARM SOUNDING ]
Man: WHOA.
WHAT THE [BLEEP]
Narrator:
ON THE BRENNA A...
[ ALARM SOUNDING ]
Man: WHOA.
WHAT THE [BLEEP]
Sean: [BLEEP] BITCH.
Man: HOLY [BLEEP]
THE HELL HAPPENED?
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
SCRAMBLES TO RESTORE POWER.
Sean:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
SOMETHING...TWEAKED OUT.
[BLEEP] BULL [BLEEP]
-WHERE'D OUR LIGHTS GO?
-LIGHTS!
I GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE [BLEEP] WE NEED TO DO.
[ ALARM CONTINUES SOUNDING ]
Man:
WHAT'S GOING ON?
EMERGENCY LIGHTS.
WHOO-HOO-HOO!
-YEAH!
-[ Laughing ] YEAH!
Narrator: AN AUXILIARY GENERATOR
GETS THE LIGHTS BACK ON.
BUT THE MAIN GENERATOR
IS STILL DOWN.
IT'S KIND OF A SCARY FEELING
WHEN YOU'RE OUT
IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
THIS BOAT'S OUR LIFELINE.
IT'S THE ONLY THING
THAT KEEPS US
BETWEEN US AND DEATH
IS THIS BOAT.
[ SIGHS ]
I THINK THE REASON
THAT THINGS SHUT DOWN
IS JUST 'CAUSE IT'S BEEN
RUNNING AT A HEAVY LOAD,
AND IT'S BURNING OIL.
IT'S A LOT OF WORK
ON THAT ENGINE.
Narrator: THE ELECTRICAL POWER
REQUIRED TO RUN A COD OPERATION
IS PUSHING THE LIMITS
OF THE GENERATOR.
IT'S PROBABLY JUST
FROM HAVING FULL LOAD ON IT.
ALL THE HYDROS.
SO, YEAH.
JUST GOT TO KEEP GOING.
Narrator:
NOW BACK ON THE GRIND...
Man: YEAH!
Sean: THAT STRING
WAS PRETTY DANG GOOD.
I THINK THIS NEXT ONE
WOULD BE EVEN BETTER.
Narrator:
...SEAN IS SLOWLY BUILDING UP
THE NUMBERS HE NEEDS
TO MAKE A PROFIT.
WE JUST GOT TO KEEP GOING,
KEEP TURNING THE POTS OVER.
CLOCK'S ALWAYS TICKING.
Narrator:
570 MILES NORTHWEST...
[ RUSSIAN RADIO CHATTER ]
...ON THE TIME BANDIT...
WE'VE COME SO FAR.
TOOK US TWO DAYS TO GET HERE.
THAT'S ABOUT $7,000
WORTH OF FUEL.
I DON'T GOT NO CRAB
TO PAY FOR THAT FUEL YET.
HOPEFULLY FIND SOMETHING.
Man: YEAH, BABY!
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN
HILLSTRAND IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT
IF HIS RUSSIAN GAMBLE
IS DA OR NYET.
OKAY, GUYS,
HERE'S OUR FIRST CRAB POT.
*
FIRST POT OF THE SEASON
COMING UP, BABY!
Man: ALL RIGHT,
HERE WE GO. FIRST POT.
HERE WE GO, GUYS.
PLEASE, 2017,
BE NICE TO US.
-WHOO!
-[ SIGHS ]
YEAH, BABY!
WE'RE DRAGGING IT IN
QUITE A WAYS.
WE'LL JUST SEE.
THIS'LL TELL US.
OUR GIRL WILL TELL US
WHAT'S GOING ON.
HERE WE GO! COME ON, BABY.
-DON'T LET ME DOWN!
-COME ON, BABY!
AAH.
OH [BLEEP] [BLEEP]
NOTHING, NOTHING.
-[BLEEP] NO WAY.
-NOTHING. NADA.
-OH [BLEEP] ME, MAN.
-DAMN, DUDE.
THIS FIRST POT
AIN'T LOOKING SO GOOD.
THAT'S PROSPECTING.
GOT 1-3.
13 CRAB.
THAT AIN'T GONNA [BLEEP]
PAY THE BILLS.
THAT AIN'T PAYING
THE BILLS, FOR SURE.
SON OF A BITCH.
WE STILL GOT
SO MUCH AREA TO CHECK.
I'M GLAD WE TOOK THE TIME
TO STRETCH THE LIVING
HELL OUT OF 'EM RIGHT NOW,
BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T
BE CATCHING [BLEEP]
IF I WOULD HAVE PUT 'EM ALL
IN ONE SPOT HERE.
NO BUENO.
NOT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
-NOT A GOOD DAY, MAN.
-NOT LOOKING GOOD AT ALL.
WE PULLED OUR FIRST
TWO POTS OF CRAB.
IT'S NOT LOOKING
SO PRETTY RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE NOT FINDING [BLEEP]
Narrator:
AFTER TRAVELING 600 MILES...
GOT NOTHING TO REALLY SAY
EXCEPT FOR OUCH.
Narrator:
...THE CAPTAIN'S RUSSIA BET
IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A BUST.
JUST DISAPPOINTING.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST HIT
THE JACKPOT RIGHT OFF THE BAT?
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
NAMASTE.
OH, POW! ON TOP!
-OH! OH!
-OH, YEAH, BABY!
LOOKS SHINY!
THIS ONE LOOKS WAY BETTER.
GOT HANGERS ON THE TOP.
YEAH!
-LOOK AT HOW SHINY! SHINY!
-HELL YEAH!
WE CAN LIVE WITH THIS.
LOOKING A LOT BETTER
THAN THAT.
1!
8!
-8! YEAH, BABY!
-YEAH, BABY!
YAHOO! THANK YOU, GOD.
IT'S A REALLY,
REALLY AMAZING SIGN, BROTHER.
YEAH!
-[BLEEP] "A."
-YEAH.
-THAT'S WHAT WE LOOKING FOR.
THEY'RE COMING!
THEY'RE COMING HOT!
LOOK AT THAT COLOR, MAN!
Neal:
THEY'RE JUST COMING, BROTHER.
WHOO!
[ ALL CHEERING ]
[ LAUGHS ]
HOLY MOLY, NEAL.
THAT POT WAS AWESOME, MAN.
THERE'S A LOT OF CRAB
IN THERE.
-OH, MY GOD.
-HOPEFULLY WE STAY ON 'EM.
CRAB LEGS!
CRAB FISHING NOW!
I'M VERY HAPPY.
[ GRUNTING ]
THIS ONE'S GONNA BE
LIKE 600, DUDE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN
DREAMING ABOUT.
610.
-610.
-[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'LL GET US
GOING HOME REAL QUICK.
Narrator: FOUR DAYS AND
2,700 GALLONS OF FUEL LATER...
THERE'S A MOTHER LODE
OUT HERE, MAN.
Johnathan:
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THIS GOOD.
ABLE TO DUMP THOSE BAD GUYS?
-WHOO!
-ON THE MOTHER LODE, BABY!
Narrator:
...RUSSIA REWARDS JOHNATHAN
WITH SOME OF HIS BEST
OPIE FISHING IN YEARS.
I WANT TO PICK AND DUMP, MAN.
IT'S JUST GETTING BETTER
THIS WAY, NEAL.
WE'RE THE ONLY BOAT
UP HERE FOR MILES
AND MILES AND MILES.
OH, MY GOD.
[BLEEP] TIGHT, MAN!
TEAMWORK, TEAMWORK!
-YEAH!
-YEAH!
CREW'S GONNA BE PULLING
ON THROUGH THE NIGHT.
Narrator:
IT'S STILL EARLY, BUT SO FAR,
THE TIME BANDIT'S
RUSSIAN COLLUSION IS "YUGE."
Narrator: AND NOW FROM
THE COLBURN FAMILY ARCHIVES.
HI. I'M KEITH COLBURN, CAPTAIN
OF THE FISHING VESSEL WIZARD
ON THE TV SHOW
"THE DEADLIEST CATCH."
AND THIS IS
MY NEW GREENHORN.
DAD, DID YOU KNOW
THAT 90% OF THE PEOPLE
THAT DROWN IN RECREATIONAL
BOATING ACCIDENTS
WERE NOT
WEARING A LIFE JACKET?
YOU'RE RIGHT, CAELAN.
RESPONSIBLE BOATERS
ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET.
ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN QUICKLY
AND WITHOUT WARNING.
SO, CAELAN, DON'T LET ME
CATCH YOU ON THE WATER
WITHOUT A LIFE JACKET ON.
DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU,
EITHER, DAD.
-BOAT RESPONSIBLY.
-BOAT RESPONSIBLY.
Announcer: THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE U.S. COAST GUARD.
Narrator: 160 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...
...ON THE WIZARD...
I'M GONNA HAUL AS MANY POTS
AS I POSSIBLY CAN
AND HOPEFULLY GET
ALL THE GEAR SET ON THE CRAB.
...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN IS
ABOUT TO PULL A PROSPECT STRING
HE SET 18 HOURS AGO...
...WHILE HIS GREENHORN
SON CAELAN
TURNS A DARKER SHADE OF GREEN.
DOESN'T SOUND TOO GOOD.
-I'M GOOD.
-ROGER THAT.
JUST GOT TO KEEP SOMETHING
IN YOUR BELLY, MAN.
OH, YEAH.
Narrator: ON HIS FIRST
FISHING TRIP ON DAD'S BOAT,
CAELAN IS REALLY GUTTING IT OUT.
Keith: HIS LITTLE BOUT
WITH SEASICKNESS.
GUARANTEED YOU'LL HAVE
LOTS OF HURDLES.
IT'S JUST GETTING
OVER THEM ONE AT A TIME
AND NOT LETTING THEM
GET IN YOUR WAY TOO MUCH.
Caelan: AT THIS POINT, I'M
UP HERE FOR HIM MORE THAN ME,
PROVING IT TO HIM
THAT I CAN DO IT.
ALL RIGHT. HERE SHE COMES, GUYS.
-WHOO!
-OH, YEAH!
IT WOULD BE AWFULLY NICE
TO SEE SOME CRAB
IN THIS FIRST POT.
Roger:
COMING UP THIS EARLY,
WE'D REALLY LIKE TO GET
ON THE CRAB FAST
AND MAKE IT A QUICK TRIP.
HOLY [BLEEP] SMOKES.
WHAT'D WE GET?
NOT ENOUGH.
THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE AFTER.
GET UP THERE, BUDDY.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW MY SON
WANTS TO MAKE ME PROUD.
THAT GOES TWO WAYS.
I MEAN, I WANT MY SON
TO SEE ME DO WELL.
I DON'T WANT HIM TO SEE ME HAVE
THE WORST 50-POT OPENING SET
AS I CAN EVER REMEMBER HAVING.
YOU KIND OF WANT TO BE
THE ROCK STAR,
AND THAT AIN'T HAPPENING.
[ SIGHS ]
PRETTY SLIM PICKINGS SO FAR.
WE AIN'T GONNA GET FAT
AND HAPPY WITH THIS.
Narrator: THE CAPTAIN'S
ROLL OF THE DICE IN THE EAST
IS COMING UP SNAKE EYES.
I GUESS NOT THIS YEAR.
Keith: WE BOMBED.
JUST, UH...
NOTHING, MAN. NOTHING AT ALL.
GARBAGE.
Narrator: NOW HE STACKS HIS POTS
AND LOOKS WEST.
I'M CURIOUS IF JOHN'S CATCHING
ANY CRAB WAY UP THE HILL.
NOW, IF HE'S ON SOME HOT FISHING
WAY UP AT THE WEST LINE,
I'D BE FOOLISH NOT TO TRY
AND GET UP THERE.
Narrator:
NOT SURPRISINGLY, RUSSIA
IS LOOKING A WHOLE LOT BETTER
TO THE VETERAN SKIPPER.
Man: OH, GET SOME!
[ ALL CHEERING ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
-HELLO. TIME BANDIT.
-Time Bandit...
OH, COYOTE.
RIGHT BY THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
HOW YOU DOING?
We haven't found much.
I GOT ABOUT 12 MORE POTS
TO PULL IN THE CANYON,
BUT JUST A LOT
OF SAND FLEAS
FROM THE TOP
OF THAT OTHER CANYON.
FROM THE CANYON BELOW ME.
BUT DID YOU -- HOPEFULLY YOU GOT
A FEW OUT OF THE CANYON THERE.
DID YOU GET
A COUPLE, ANYWAYS?
I stretched all the way up
to the Russian border.
OH, WELL,
I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
I'm not coming for that.
OKAY, JOHN.
HEY, STAY SAFE UP THERE, OKAY?
-Talk to you soon.
-OKAY, SEE YA.
OKAY, BYE.
[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH, BABY!
WE FOUND A HONEY POT!
AH! LOOK AT THAT!
Narrator: THE VETERAN CAPTAIN
TOOK A BIG RISK.
I GOT HERE ALL THE WAY TO
THE RUSSIAN LINE. I WENT ALL-IN.
Narrator:
NOW HE'S KEEPING THE REWARDS.
TILL I GOT THIS LITTLE
MAGIC DEPTH,
AND I'M NOT GONNA TELL EVERYBODY
WHAT THE MAGIC DEPTH IS.
SWEET, LOOK AT HOW SHINY,
THOSE BABIES.
-YEAH.
-LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS, MAN.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ ALL CHEERING, SHOUTING ]
[BLEEP]
[BLEEP]
HO! HO!
MY HAIR'S STANDING ON MY [BLEEP]
WHOO-HOO!
WE'LL DUMP THIS BACK, GUYS.
GOING DOWN.
[ MEN CONTINUE CHEERING ]
OUR FIRST TRIP
IS OFFICIALLY ALMOST UP.
*
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
FROM THE TIME BANDIT.
*
Keith: THERE'S NO QUESTION.
WINTER'S HERE.
[ EAGLE SCREECHING ]
THE TOWN IS SO QUIET.
IT'S ALMOST EERIE.
IT'S QUIET BECAUSE
THERE AREN'T AS MANY PEOPLE
WHO ARE GONNA FISH THIS YEAR.
THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL.
THIS SEASON'S GONNA BE AS BAD
AS WE'VE EVER SEEN.
OH, MAN!
WATCH OUT, GUYS.
WATCH, WATCH, WATCH, WATCH OUT.
-OH, WHOA!
-LOOK OUT!
LOOK OUT!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
WHOA, WHOA!
GET IT OFF HIM. GET IT OFF HIM.
Keith: WE ARE GOING TO BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF STORM ALLEY.
HANG ON, HANG ON.
Man: WHEW!
-WATCH OUT!
-OH, WATCH IT!
OH!
-WHAT HAPPENED?
-WHAT HAPPENED?
-MOVE!
-MOVE!
IS HE OKAY?
Keith: I'M EXPECTING
NOTHING BUT THE WORST.
Man: WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE FISHING VESSEL
REMAINS A MYSTERY TONIGHT.
[ HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING ]

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
Narrator:
DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA.
Keith: FIRST THING WE GOT TO DO
IS GET THIS BOAT WARMED UP.
WE'RE PROBABLY 10 DAYS AHEAD
OF THE FLEET RIGHT NOW.
Narrator: FOR SOME, THE WINTER
SEASON HAS STARTED EARLY.
THE OPILIO QUOTA
GOT CUT IN HALF.
THERE REALLY ISN'T
THAT MUCH CRAB FOR US TO CATCH.
Narrator:
WITH SURVEYS SHOWING JUST HALF
THE FISHABLE CRAB
ON THE GROUNDS,
FISH AND GAME HAS
SLASHED THE QUOTA BY 50%.
Keith: WE'RE GONNA TRY AND BE
THE FIRST BOAT
ON THE GROUNDS FOR OPIES.
YEP, WIRE UP!
Narrator: CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN
PLANS TO GET A JUMP ON THE FLEET
TO OFFSET THE COMPETITION
FOR DWINDLING CRAB.
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET OUR BAIT,
OUR FOOD, OUR POTS,
AND WE CAN GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
Narrator:
WHILE ACROSS THE HARBOR...
-RUDDER!
-GOOD!
Sean: EVERYBODY FLEW UP EARLY
SO WE CAN GET A GOOD START
ON THIS COD SEASON.
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
IS MAKING UP FOR LOST QUOTA
BY FISHING ANOTHER SPECIES
BEFORE HIS OPILIO.
Sean: THE PLAN RIGHT NOW IS
TO GO OUT AND CATCH AS MUCH COD
AS WE CAN AS FAST AS WE CAN
AND GO FISH OPIES.
IT'S WHAT I GOT TO DO
TO PAY THE BILLS.
[ EAGLE SCREECHING ]
Narrator:
AND ON THE TIME BANDIT...
AS SOON AS WE START,
THE BETTER OFF WE ARE.
WE GOT A WEEK JUMP
ON THE WHOLE FLEET.
Narrator: ...FOR CAPTAIN
JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND,
AN EARLY START ALONE
ISN'T ENOUGH.
HE HAS ANOTHER TRICK
UP HIS SLEEVE.
Johnathan: THE SURVEY SHOWS
ALL THE CRAB UP BY RUSSIA.
WE'RE GONNA BE UP HERE
BY THE RUSSIAN LINE.
HERE'S OUR ROUTE HERE.
THIS IS HOW FAR WE GOT TO GO.
-MIGHT AS WELL.
-HAIL MARY. SHOOT THE MOON.
Narrator: JOHNATHAN IS BETTING
HE'LL FIND HIS BOUNTY
WELL PAST THE TRADITIONAL
OPILIO GROUNDS
BY THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
IT'S ONLY 674 MILES
HERE AND RUSSIA.
YOU'RE ON RUSSIAN BEACH.
YOU'LL ACTUALLY
HIT RUSSIA, THE ROCK.
675 MILES, YEAH.
WE WON'T MAKE IT
PAST THE GRAY SHIPS. YEAH.
WE'RE HEADED TO RUSSIA, BABY.
GO FIND THE MOTHER LODE BEFORE
ANYONE ELSE GETS OUT HERE.
Narrator:
IF THE VETERAN CAPTAIN MISSES,
HE'S WASTED $40,000
IN FOOD AND FUEL.
YOU KNOW, WE ARE A LONG WAYS
AWAY FROM EVERYBODY.
-YEAH.
-IT'S GONNA BE SCARY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF ANYBODY'S
GONNA BE UP THERE AROUND US.
NO, IT'S GONNA BE SCARY, DUDE.
IF WE GET IN TROUBLE OUT THERE,
THERE'S GONNA BE NO ONE
TO GET US.
Narrator: AND FISHING THAT FAR
NORTH LEAVES THE TIME BANDIT
OUTSIDE THE RANGE
OF RESCUE HELICOPTERS.
COAST GUARD
AIN'T GONNA GET US.
KEITH'S SUPPOSED TO BE
A DAY BEHIND US.
-KEITH COLBURN, THE WIZARD.
-WELL, I HOPE SO.
Narrator: BUT THE VETERAN
CAPTAIN ISN'T PLANNING
ON GOING IT ALONE.
AT LEAST ONE MORE BOAT
UP THERE WITH US.
Johnathan:
COMES A TIME IN A MAN'S LIFE
WHERE HE GOES,
"SHOOT THE MOON, BITCH!"
THE ASTRONAUTS HAD TO GO
TO THE MOON. I'M GOING.
THAT MUST BE MR. COLBURN.
[ HORN HONKING ]
THAT MUST BE MY TRUCK.
I'M EXCITED.
WE'LL WORK TOGETHER AGAIN
LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR.
MY BUDDY, KEITH,
THAT'S A GOOD PARTNER TO HAVE.
AHA! PERFECT TIMING.
YOU BROUGHT --
YOU BROUGHT THE --
I HAVE STRANGERS
BEARING GIFTS.
-[ LAUGHS ]
-HOW'S IT GOING?
UM, GOOD.
I'M WAITING FOR THE COMPUTER
TO DO WHATEVER IT'S DOING.
Narrator: KEITH AND MONTE
COLBURN BOARD THE TIME BANDIT
TO GET BRIEFED
ON THE RUSSIA PLAN.
I WANT TO SEE
WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
OKAY, YEAH,
LET ME SHOW YOU.
I'M GONNA PITCH LIKE 170 MILES
FROM THE PENINSULA THERE.
-WELL, THAT'S THE SPOT.
-WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
-I'M NOT GOING THAT FAR.
-WE'RE GOING EAST SIDE, RIGHT?
I'M GOING TO EAST SIDE.
I'M JUST GOING OUT OF TOWN.
-WHAT?
-100 MILES FROM TOWN, YEAH.
YEP. 130 MILES.
I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA
GO TO RUSSIA TOGETHER.
-I'M NOT GOING TO RUSSIA.
-DAMN YOU.
-IT'S 100 MILES OUT.
-I BEEN UP THERE BEFORE,
AND THAT CANYON
HAS BEEN BONE DRY.
-YEAH.
-BONE [BLEEP] DRY.
IF I'M RETIRING,
I WANT TO GO OUT WITH A --
LIKE, BIG.
BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG.
Narrator: JOHNATHAN PLANNED
TO TOP OFF HIS FINAL SEASON
WITH AN EPIC CONQUEST.
IT'D BE A GOOD WAY
TO GO OUT, ON TOP.
BUT IF HE WANTS
TO CONQUER RUSSIA,
IT'LL BE A SOLO MISSION.
WE'RE GONNA GO OUT
AND SET THE GEAR
AND FILL THE BOAT
BEFORE YOU EVEN GET
TO WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEN I'LL HAVE TO TAKE
YOUR DELIVERY DATE.
[BLEEP]
GOOD LUCK. I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
SAFE TRAVELS.
CALL ME, MAN. IF I DON'T HEAR
FROM YOU IN 24 HOURS,
I'M CALLING
THE COAST GUARD, OKAY?
I WANT YOU TO CHECK IN
AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.
-I WILL CHECK IN.
-SO WHAT'S THE CODE?
-"BEEP, BEEP"?
-BEEP, BEEP.
-BEEP, BEEP.
-BEEP, BEEP.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.
Johnathan: I HAVE A DREAM.
MY DREAM IS TO GO
BY THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
AND THEN THE BROTHERS,
COLBURNS JUST COME OVER
AND SHOT ME OUT OF THE WATER.
I'M STILL GOING.
[ EAGLE SCREECHING ]
Narrator:
BACK ON THE BRENNA A...
WHAT'S UP, DUDES?
I KNOW WE CAME UP HERE
TO TRY TO GET OUT EARLY
AND TRY TO GET A HEAD START.
SO THE PLAN IS TO GO OUT,
SET A LOAD OF GEAR,
AND THEN JUST START FISHING.
Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER AND CREW
NAIL DOWN SOME LOOSE ENDS
BEFORE THROWING LINES.
HOW ARE WE LOOKING
ON THE GEAR?
Man:
GOT 120 READY TO GO RIGHT NOW.
-COOL.
-IT SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG.
WE GOT TO GET A JUMP START.
NOVEMBER DIDN'T REALLY
PAN OUT FOR US.
Man:
THIS ISN'T LOOKING GOOD.
Narrator: LAST FALL, SEAN FISHED
COD FOR THE FIRST TIME...
Sean:
MUCH AS I LIKE TO HAUL GEAR,
WHAT'S THE POINT IF
YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY MONEY?
Narrator:
...AND BARELY BROKE EVEN.
WE'VE MADE 500 BUCKS
AFTER EXPENSES FOR THIS TRIP.
SERIOUSLY?
Sean:
WITH OPIES CUT IN HALF,
I NEED TO MAKE
MORE MONEY COD FISHING.
IT NEEDS TO PAY.
I GOT TO TRY TO MAKE
SOMETHING HAPPEN
TO KEEP THIS BUSINESS RUNNING.
IT'S OUR FAMILY BUSINESS.
I MEAN, THIS IS OUR LEGACY.
WE NEED THIS THIS YEAR.
Narrator: WITH THE FUTURE
OF THE FAMILY OPERATION
RIDING SQUARELY ON THE YOUNG
SKIPPER'S SHOULDERS...
Sean:
DUTCH HARBOR'S RIGHT HERE.
WE'RE THINKING OF GOING
A LITTLE BIT FURTHER THIS WAY.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Narrator: ...SEAN IS NOT ONLY
MOVING TO DIFFERENT GROUNDS...
Sean:
WE'RE TRYING A DIFFERENT BAIT.
Narrator: ... HE'S CHANGING UP
HIS FISHING TACTICS.
Sean: THIS IS A MUCH OILIER,
SMALLER FISH.
AND THEN THE NEXT THING
WE'RE GONNA TRY
IS HANGING THE BAIT BAG
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POT.
SO IF THIS FISH WANT
TO GET TO THAT PIÑATA,
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET
IN THE POT TO GET IT.
WE'RE JUST HOPING
THE FISH ARE THERE,
WE GO TO THE RIGHT SPOT,
AND WE'LL JUST HIT IT HARD.
Narrator:
LOADED UP WITH GEAR AND BAIT...
Sean: OKAY, LET'S GET THIS SHOW
ON THE ROAD.
Man: OKAY, LET'S ROLL!
Narrator: ...THE ROOKIE SKIPPER
IS FIRST TO THROW LINES.
-WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
-YEAH-YEAH!
YEAH.
I'M NOT HERE FOR THE MONEY.
I'M HERE 'CAUSE I LOVE IT.
THAT'S A [BLEEP] LIE.
[ LAUGHS ]
Narrator:
AS THE BRENNA A CHARGES OUT...
Johnathan: THANK YOU.
SEE YOU IN EIGHT DAYS.
WE'RE GOING TO RUSSIA!
Narrator: ...THE TIME BANDIT
FOLLOWS CLOSE BEHIND.
WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY UP
BY RUSSIA.
NO MAN'S LAND. WE'RE GONNA BE
THE ONLY GUYS OUT THERE.
Johnathan: WE GOT TO DO A
DRIVE-BY OVER THERE ON COLBURN.
LET'S GO GIVE KEITH
A LITTLE BUZZ.
Narrator:
BUT BEFORE LEAVING TOWN,
THE VETERAN SKIPPER TAKES
A SLIGHT DETOUR.
KEITH WAS GONNA GO
TO RUSSIA WITH ME,
I THOUGHT,
THEN NOW HE'S JUST GONNA
GO TO THE EAST SIDE.
OH, YEAH.
LET'S GO TO RUSSIA. COME ON.
[ LAUGHS ]
NO WAY.
RUSSIA!
ARE YOU ROLLING
OUT OF HERE?
OKAY, YEAH. FREDDY WANTS
TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING.
WE'RE TURNING AROUND,
AND HE WANTS
TO HAND YOU SOMETHING.
NEVER GET OLD! NEVER GETS OLD!
WE GONNA GIVE
THE WIZARD BREAKFAST!
WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?
OUR LAST SEASON, WE WANT
TO GO OUT WITH PRIDE, DIGNITY.
HEY, BABY!
-[ LAUGHS ]
-YEAH!
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ Laughing ]
ARE THEY EGGING US?
YEAH!
[ LAUGHS ]
OKAY. WE'RE ON OUR WAY
TO RUSSIA.
[ LAUGHS ]
HERE COMES AN EGGS.
[ LAUGHS ]
OH, GOD.
YEAH!
[ LAUGHTER ]
OH, THAT'S IT.
OHH.
YEAH, BABY!
[ SCREAMING ]
THAT MADE MY DAY. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S OUR FUN.
TIME TO GO TO WORK.
BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, BOYS.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO RUSSIA.
Narrator: COMING UP...
Roger: GOT A NEW BAIT BOY.
TURNS OUT,
IT'S THE CAPTAIN'S SON.
COME ON. PUT SOME SACK
INTO IT, KID!
A LONG WAYS FROM CIVILIZATION.
Man:
GOING TO RUSSIA, BOYS. WHOO!
WE EITHER MAKE IT,
OR WE BREAK IT.
Man: LET'S DO IT!
Man #2:
WHOA WHAT THE [BLEEP]
THE HELL HAPPENED?
Narrator: DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA.
ON THE WIZARD...
THERE'S NO REASON
TO DRIVE ALMOST 600 MILES
TO GO LOOK FOR OPIES.
HE'S GOING ALL THE WAY UP
TO THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
Narrator: AFTER BOWING OUT
OF JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND'S
RUSSIAN ADVENTURE...
Keith: THERE'S SOME CLASSIC
SPOTS TO FISH ON THE EAST SIDE.
Narrator:
...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN
WILL BE FISHING CLOSER TO HOME.
Caelan: A LITTLE BIT MORE.
2 MORE FEET, 3 MORE FEET.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,
A THIRD COLBURN
WILL BE ABOARD...
HEY, SOPER, CAN YOU
GO UP ON THE ROPE?
...KEITH'S 20-YEAR-OLD SON,
CAELAN.
A LITTLE MORE.
I SAW CAELAN WHEN HE WAS IN
I THINK SECOND OR THIRD GRADE.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
GOT A NEW BAIT BOY
FOR THIS FIRST TRIP OF OPIES,
AND TURNS OUT,
IT'S THE CAPTAIN'S SON.
SO, WE'LL SEE IF HIS DAD
TAUGHT HIM ANYTHING
WITHOUT HIM BEING UP HERE.
THE CONVERSATION WAS LITERALLY
ABOUT TWO SECONDS.
IT WAS, LIKE, "SO, UH,
WANT TO COME DO OPIES
THIS SEASON?"
I WAS LIKE, "SURE."
HE'S LIKE, "ALL RIGHT."
FIRST TIME IN DUTCH.
EAGLES MESSING AROUND,
CHEWING UP THE BAIT.
THIS IS THE COOLEST WORK
YOU COULD DEFINITELY DO.
I'M A FINANCE MAJOR,
FINANCE AND ADVERTISING.
HOW MANY FINANCE GUYS
HAVE BEEN OPIE FISHING?
-ROGER, HELP ME OUT!
-HE'S GOT YOU.
Man: IF YOU CAN
MAKE THAT ONE LIKE THAT,
WE'LL BE BRINGING THOSE
BACK DOWN.
HE'S DOING ALL RIGHT.
HE'S JUMPING AROUND.
A LOT TO LEARN,
OBVIOUSLY, BUT --
HERE, COME BACK TOWARDS ME
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.
Keith: COME ON.
PUT SOME SACK INTO IT, KID!
YOU GONNA [BLEEP]
STAND THERE THE WHOLE TIME?
UH, YEAH. I OWN THE BOAT.
THAT'S WHAT I DO.
I STAND AND OBSERVE.
I COACH.
I PREACH. I TEACH.
WELL, THANK GOD
YOU'RE HERE.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
Keith:
MY SON NEEDS TO LIVE UP
TO A PRETTY HIGH BAR
OF EXPECTATIONS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DIDN'T
EVEN NEED TO TELL HIM THAT.
HE KNOWS IT.
Caelan: OH! [BLEEP]
I [BLEEP] CUT THE MESH.
OH [BLEEP]
Man: YOU BETTER FIGURE OUT
HOW TO FIX IT, KID.
I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE
TO WORK WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW, AS A FISHERMAN,
I'VE LOST A LOT OF TIME
WITH MY KIDS.
I SPENT ONE HALLOWEEN
WITH MY KIDS. THAT'S IT.
NOW TO BE ABLE TO GET HIM
OUT HERE TO DO THIS
IS FORTUNATE, YOU KNOW?
I'M JUST TRYING TO USE
THE BEST TIME I HAVE RIGHT NOW
WHILE I HAVE SOME TIME LEFT
WITH MY KID.
*
Narrator: 12 HOURS LATER,
WITH HIS BOAT PREPPED...
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
-GETTING READY TO GO, SOPER.
-HEY.
...THE CAPTAIN IS READY
TO CHARGE OUT BEFORE DAYBREAK...
Keith: WE'RE GONNA GET
A SEVEN-DAY JUMP ON THE FLEET.
I MEAN, BASICALLY,
IT'S WIDE OPEN.
Narrator: ...AND GET A LEG UP
ON THE COMPETITION.
Keith: GOT MY SON ON THE BOAT.
GOT A GREAT CREW.
JUST HOPE THERE'S
GOOD FISHING HERE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
LET'S DO THIS.
Narrator:
ALREADY ON THE COD GROUNDS...
Sean: GUYS, GET READY TO POP
CHAINS OFF AND ALL THAT.
ROGER. PUT LIFE JACKETS ON.
GOING UP.
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
SUPERVISES THE BRENNA A CREW
AS THEY PREPARE FOR THE FIRST
COD HAUL OF THE WINTER SEASON.
Sean: SO, WE'RE GOING A LITTLE
FURTHER AWAY FROM DUTCH,
A LITTLE FURTHER
AWAY FROM TRAFFIC.
HOPEFULLY, WE CATCH SOME FISH.
HANGING THE BAIT UPSIDE DOWN,
NEW BAIT IN ITSELF.
Narrator: AFTER A BITTER FAILURE
LAST FALL...
-WE GOOD?
-YEAH, THAT LOOKS GOOD.
...THE YOUNG CAPTAIN
IS LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED
TO KEEP HIS FAMILY
BUSINESS ABOVE WATER.
HOPEFULLY, WE GET A LITTLE BIT
MORE NUMBERS OUT OF IT.
SOMETIMES YOU GOT
TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN,
SO GIVE IT A SHOT.
Narrator:
565 MILES NORTHWEST,
FAR ABOVE ANY BOAT
IN THE FLEET...
WE'RE NOT DOING THE SAFEST THING
BY COMING OUT HERE ALL ALONE,
AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO AWAY.
Narrator:
...CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND
LOOKS TO END HIS CAREER ON TOP.
BUT I WANT A GOOD GLORY STORY
IF THIS IS GONNA BE
MY LAST SEASON.
Narrator: ...AS HE GUIDES
THE TIME BANDIT NORTHWEST.
WE CAN'T STOP.
WE GOT TO KEEP IT ROLLING.
WE'RE LIKE ROLLING THUNDER.
Narrator:
AFTER A 70-HOUR STEAM
AND 2,000 GALLONS OF FUEL,
THE TIME BANDIT
REACHES ITS DESTINATION...
RIGHT. THANK YOU, WOODY.
Narrator:
...THE RUSSIAN LINE.
[ MEN CONTINUE SPEAKING RUSSIAN
OVER RADIO ]
Johnathan:
WELL, WE MADE IT.
WE'RE, LIKE,
IN NO-MAN'S LAND, MAN.
I HAVEN'T SEEN A BOAT IN DAYS.
SO IT'S SORT OF SCARY
OUT HERE, YOU KNOW?
A LONG WAYS FROM CIVILIZATION.
WE'RE AT
THE RUSSIAN LINE, DUDE.
WE'RE ALL THE WAY
OUT HERE BY RUSSIA,
SO WE WANT TO LET
OUR PRESENCE BE KNOWN!
BOOM OR BUST, BOYS. WHOO!
SINK OR SWIM.
-LET'S DO IT!
-WHOO!
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S LET THE FIRST ONE GO.
Man: GOING OVER.
[ ALL SHOUTING EXCITEDLY ]
OKAY, GUYS.
GOING OVER.
WE GOT THE BORDER SET,
RUSSIAN BORDER SET.
THERE'S THE LINE THERE,
AND WE'RE GONNA SET
STRAIGHT UP THE LINE.
Man #2:
2017 OPIES, BABY!
WE'RE JUST STRETCHING 'EM OUT,
COVERING DOWN.
GIVES US MORE CHANCES
OF FINDING SOMETHING.
Narrator:
TO MAKE HIS PRESENCE KNOWN,
JOHNATHAN DROPS
THE MOTHER OF ALL SETS --
A WHOPPING 150-MILE
PROSPECT STREAM.
RUN TWO HOURS, SET FOUR
OR FIVE POTS A MILE APART,
RUN ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF,
SET FIVE.
RUN AN HOUR.
Narrator: ...CLUSTERING POTS
AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS
TO CLOSE IN ON THE RUSSIAN CRAB.
WE GOT GEAR SPREAD EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
TO FIND SOMETHING.
Eddie Jr.: WE EITHER MAKE IT,
OR WE BREAK IT.
WE'RE SO FAR NORTH
THAT IT'S A LONG WAYS
TO RUN ANYWHERE ELSE.
GOING OVER.
Narrator: FISHING IN UNPROVEN
WATERS MILES FROM DUTCH...
THESE COULD ALL BE BLANKS.
[ LAUGHS ]
EVERY ONE OF THESE POTS I SET
COULD BE A BLANK.
Narrator: ...THE RETIRING
CAPTAIN IS TAKING A HUGE GAMBLE
TO START HIS FINAL
OPILIO SEASON.
WE'LL FIND OUT HOW GOOD WE DID
ABOUT 30 HOURS FROM NOW.
IT'S BRUTAL, BUT WE WILL KNOW.
Narrator: 150 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...
Keith: SO, YOU BE REAL AWARE
OF THAT BAIT TRAPPER, OKAY?
Caelan: YEAH.
Narrator: ...ON THE WIZARD...
YOUR HANDS NEVER GO IN THERE.
YOU'RE GONNA GET BEHIND.
YOU'RE GONNA THROW THE BAIT
IN THERE. THE BOAT'S GONNA ROLL,
AND THAT THING'S GONNA GRAB
AND JUST "WHUMPH!"
JUST PULL YOU RIGHT IN.
Narrator:
ARRIVING AT THE GROUNDS
FOR HIS FIRST SET
OF THE WINTER SEASON,
CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN
ARMS HIS 20-YEAR-OLD SON
WITH SOME WORDS OF ADVICE.
JUST NEVER TAKE
YOUR FEET UP OFF THE DECK.
SHUFFLE ALONG
AND MAKE SURE
ALL THAT LINE'S
WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT.
OKAY, YEAH.
I'M GONNA HEAD
BACK DOWNSTAIRS.
ALL RIGHT.
Keith: I'D BE LYING IF I SAID
IT DIDN'T HAVE ME
A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
HAVING MY BOY
OUT THERE, YOU KNOW?
I'VE SEEN TOO MANY THINGS HAPPEN
IN THE BERING SEA.
Man: WATCH OUT!
OHH!
AAH!
ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT
A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD COMING OUT
OF THE SIDE OF YOUR EYE.
Man #2:
GET AWAY FROM THE POT!
Man #3:
WATCH OUT. HANG ON! HANG ON!
HOLY [BLEEP]
HEY, I NEED SOME COMMUNICATION
HERE RIGHT AWAY.
NOW I'VE GOT MY BOYS OUT THERE
PRETTY MUCH ON THE FRONT LINES.
FIRST POT
GOING IN THE RACK!
YOU STAY UP THERE MAKING BAIT
TILL I CALL YOU,
BECAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE YOU
OVER HERE EARLY,
BECAUSE YOU NEED
EVERY SECOND YOU GOT.
Narrator: BEFORE THE FIRST POT
GOES OVER THE RAIL,
UNCLE MONTE
HAS SOME ADVICE OF HIS OWN
FOR HIS YOUNG NEPHEW.
"EVERY SECOND COUNTS"
IS A HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT.
NOW, YOU WANT THAT FARTHER UP.
THAT'S RIGHT IN THE CENTER.
YOU WANT IT UP IN, LIKE,
THIS REGION RIGHT HERE.
THERE YOU GO.
IF HE CAN JUST
SURVIVE THIS, YOU KNOW --
I KNOW CAELAN'S NOT A QUITTER,
BUT THEN AGAIN,
HE'S NEVER DONE THIS, EITHER.
OKAY, GOOD. LET 'ER GO.
YEAH, BABY! HERE WE GO.
FIRST POT OF THE SEASON,
GOING OVERBOARD!
Caelan: FEELING GOOD. TRYING
TO RUN AS FAST AS I CAN,
NOT SLOW EVERYONE ELSE DOWN,
THAT'S THE MAIN GOAL.
Monte: YEP!
HOLD THAT!
HE JUST SAID HE'S DOING GOOD.
EIGHT HOURS FROM NOW,
HE'LL PROBABLY SAY,
"I'M DOING ALL RIGHT."
THEN EIGHT HOURS FROM THEN,
HE'LL PROBABLY BE LIKE, "DAMN."
WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY
OF MAKING MISTAKES THIS YEAR.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY
WHAT HAS ME THE MOST NERVOUS.
[ SIGHS ]
Narrator: WITH 185 POTS
TO GET OFF THE DECK,
THE CREW OF THE WIZARD
GRINDS LATE INTO THE NIGHT.
Monte: OH, MAN, THERE'S ONLY
ONE BAIT IN THERE!
WE NEED ANOTHER BAIT,
DOUBLE TIME!
RIGHT HERE!
Narrator:
EIGHT HOURS INTO THE SET...
DAD TOLD ME WE'RE
DOING THE BIG FISH.
-ALL RIGHT, OPEN IT UP!
-OPEN THE DOOR.
...CAELAN STARTS TO FADE.
OKAY.
Monte: NO BAIT!
[ Chuckling ] NO BAIT.
WHAT THE [BLEEP]
THAT'S A NO-NO.
Keith: THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY
THAT CAN GET BLAMED FOR THAT.
WE KNOW WHO THAT IS.
FIRST DAY'S HARD.
SECOND DAY'S MISERY.
WE'LL SEE IN A COUPLE DAYS
WHERE HE'S AT.
[ CAELAN COUGHS ]
Narrator: FATIGUE ISN'T ALL
THAT AILS THE GREENHORN.
Caelan: OH, I JUST BLEW CHUNKS.
THAT'S GREAT.
Keith:
IS HE OKAY, MOUSE?
HE'S ALSO GETTING HIS FIRST
TASTE OF SEASICKNESS...
Monte:
YEAH, I THINK HE'S ALL RIGHT!
[ RETCHING ]
...AND HIS SECOND.
OH, HE DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A GREENHORN,
NOT A GREEN FACE.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
LOOKING A LITTLE
GHOSTLY NOW.
[ RETCHING ]
HE'LL BE FINE. YEAH.
HE'LL DRINK A BUNCH OF WATER,
MAKE SURE HE STAYS HYDRATED.
I'M GONNA AVOID
TRYING TO BE THE MOTHER HEN.
IT'D BE REAL EASY TO SPEND TOO
MUCH TIME WORRYING ABOUT HIM.
RIGHT NOW,
WHAT I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT
IS FINDING SOME CRAB
AND GETTING THIS BOAT FISHING.
I'M A CAPTAIN FIRST,
DAD SECOND.
Narrator:
140 MILES SOUTHEAST,
ON THE COD GROUNDS...
WE'LL BE THERE SHORTLY.
GOT ABOUT A MILE.
THE GUYS ARE GETTING
THE DECK SET UP,
AND WE'LL GET GOING.
Narrator:
...BRENNA A CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
IS ABOUT TO PULL
HIS FIRST COD POTS
OF THE WINTER SEASON.
GONNA TRY A FEW THINGS
DIFFERENTLY.
WE'RE TRYING A DIFFERENT BAIT.
Narrator: AND HE'S GOING ALL-IN
ON A NEW STRATEGY.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BAIT 'EM UP
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POT
RATHER THAN HANGING 'EM
FROM THE TOP OF THE POT.
I'VE NEVER HUNG BAIT
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE POT.
SOMETHING NEW THIS TIME,
AND HOPEFULLY IT ALL WORKS OUT.
WE'LL SEE.
NEW BAIT, NEW TECHNIQUE.
PRETTY WILD IDEA TO TRY 'EM
BOTH AT THE SAME TIME,
BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
HARD AND FAST, BABY!
OH, YEAH!
Sean:
NOVEMBER, WE DIDN'T DO SO WELL.
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE
SOME BIGGER FISH HERE.
Narrator: LEAN CRAB QUOTAS
HAVE MADE SUCCESS
ON THE COD GROUNDS CRUCIAL
TO THE HEALTH OF THE YOUNG
SKIPPER'S FAMILY BUSINESS.
I HOPE WE GOT 'EM.
THIS IS EXCITING.
Zack: WE WANT TO SEE
SOME COD REALLY BAD,
GET SOME MONEY IN OUR POCKETS.
WE NEED AT LEAST FIVE
TO COVER THE EXPENSES.
BUT, GOD, I HOPE
WE HAVE MORE THAN FIVE.
I'D GO FOR 25, 30.
-THERE IT IS!
-YEAH!
-YEAH!
-[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH, THERE'S A FEW IN THERE.
THAT'S A GOOD-LOOKING POT.
[ LAUGHS ]
Man:
LOOKS LIKE WE GOT ABOUT 20 HERE.
NICE, BIG, FAT FISH.
HOPEFULLY THEY ALL
LOOK LIKE THIS.
Sean: FIRST FISH JUST
WENT IN THE TANK,
SO THAT 72-HOUR CLOCK STARS.
RIGHT NOW, EVERY MINUTE COUNTS,
'CAUSE WE STARTED OUR CLOCK.
Narrator:
WITH COD COMING OVER THE RAIL...
YOU RUN THE RISK OF THE FISH
GOING BAD IN YOUR TANK.
BASICALLY, THERE'S
BACTERIA IN THE FISH.
Narrator: ...THE RACE IS ON
FOR SEAN TO CATCH AS MUCH
AS HE CAN BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT.
Man: YEAH, YEAH!
LOOKING A LITTLE
BETTER ON THE SECOND POT.
THERE'S A [BLEEP] LOAD OF COD.
A LOT OF FISH ON THAT TABLE.
PROBABLY 35 FISH IN THAT ONE.
THOSE FIRST TWO POTS
HAD A LOT OF FISH IN 'EM.
SO FAR, SO GOOD.
WE'RE MAKING MONEY
AT THIS POINT, FOR SURE.
WE JUST GOT TO KEEP GOING
AROUND THE CLOCK HERE.
THAT [BLEEP] CLOCK
KEEPS TICKING AWAY.
Narrator:
COD FISHERMEN PULL THREE TIMES
MORE POTS PER DAY THAN CRABBERS.
CREWS HAVE TO HAUL,
RESET, AND DUMP
IN A CONTINUOUS GRIND.
YEAH!
Sean: WE'RE JUST GONNA
KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.
KEEP MOVING.
[ ALARM SOUNDING ]
Man: WHOA.
WHAT THE [BLEEP]
Narrator:
ON THE BRENNA A...
[ ALARM SOUNDING ]
Man: WHOA.
WHAT THE [BLEEP]
Sean: [BLEEP] BITCH.
Man: HOLY [BLEEP]
THE HELL HAPPENED?
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER
SCRAMBLES TO RESTORE POWER.
Sean:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
SOMETHING...TWEAKED OUT.
[BLEEP] BULL [BLEEP]
-WHERE'D OUR LIGHTS GO?
-LIGHTS!
I GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE [BLEEP] WE NEED TO DO.
[ ALARM CONTINUES SOUNDING ]
Man:
WHAT'S GOING ON?
EMERGENCY LIGHTS.
WHOO-HOO-HOO!
-YEAH!
-[ Laughing ] YEAH!
Narrator: AN AUXILIARY GENERATOR
GETS THE LIGHTS BACK ON.
BUT THE MAIN GENERATOR
IS STILL DOWN.
IT'S KIND OF A SCARY FEELING
WHEN YOU'RE OUT
IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
THIS BOAT'S OUR LIFELINE.
IT'S THE ONLY THING
THAT KEEPS US
BETWEEN US AND DEATH
IS THIS BOAT.
[ SIGHS ]
I THINK THE REASON
THAT THINGS SHUT DOWN
IS JUST 'CAUSE IT'S BEEN
RUNNING AT A HEAVY LOAD,
AND IT'S BURNING OIL.
IT'S A LOT OF WORK
ON THAT ENGINE.
Narrator: THE ELECTRICAL POWER
REQUIRED TO RUN A COD OPERATION
IS PUSHING THE LIMITS
OF THE GENERATOR.
IT'S PROBABLY JUST
FROM HAVING FULL LOAD ON IT.
ALL THE HYDROS.
SO, YEAH.
JUST GOT TO KEEP GOING.
Narrator:
NOW BACK ON THE GRIND...
Man: YEAH!
Sean: THAT STRING
WAS PRETTY DANG GOOD.
I THINK THIS NEXT ONE
WOULD BE EVEN BETTER.
Narrator:
...SEAN IS SLOWLY BUILDING UP
THE NUMBERS HE NEEDS
TO MAKE A PROFIT.
WE JUST GOT TO KEEP GOING,
KEEP TURNING THE POTS OVER.
CLOCK'S ALWAYS TICKING.
Narrator:
570 MILES NORTHWEST...
[ RUSSIAN RADIO CHATTER ]
...ON THE TIME BANDIT...
WE'VE COME SO FAR.
TOOK US TWO DAYS TO GET HERE.
THAT'S ABOUT $7,000
WORTH OF FUEL.
I DON'T GOT NO CRAB
TO PAY FOR THAT FUEL YET.
HOPEFULLY FIND SOMETHING.
Man: YEAH, BABY!
Narrator: ...CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN
HILLSTRAND IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT
IF HIS RUSSIAN GAMBLE
IS DA OR NYET.
OKAY, GUYS,
HERE'S OUR FIRST CRAB POT.
*
FIRST POT OF THE SEASON
COMING UP, BABY!
Man: ALL RIGHT,
HERE WE GO. FIRST POT.
HERE WE GO, GUYS.
PLEASE, 2017,
BE NICE TO US.
-WHOO!
-[ SIGHS ]
YEAH, BABY!
WE'RE DRAGGING IT IN
QUITE A WAYS.
WE'LL JUST SEE.
THIS'LL TELL US.
OUR GIRL WILL TELL US
WHAT'S GOING ON.
HERE WE GO! COME ON, BABY.
-DON'T LET ME DOWN!
-COME ON, BABY!
AAH.
OH [BLEEP] [BLEEP]
NOTHING, NOTHING.
-[BLEEP] NO WAY.
-NOTHING. NADA.
-OH [BLEEP] ME, MAN.
-DAMN, DUDE.
THIS FIRST POT
AIN'T LOOKING SO GOOD.
THAT'S PROSPECTING.
GOT 1-3.
13 CRAB.
THAT AIN'T GONNA [BLEEP]
PAY THE BILLS.
THAT AIN'T PAYING
THE BILLS, FOR SURE.
SON OF A BITCH.
WE STILL GOT
SO MUCH AREA TO CHECK.
I'M GLAD WE TOOK THE TIME
TO STRETCH THE LIVING
HELL OUT OF 'EM RIGHT NOW,
BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T
BE CATCHING [BLEEP]
IF I WOULD HAVE PUT 'EM ALL
IN ONE SPOT HERE.
NO BUENO.
NOT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
-NOT A GOOD DAY, MAN.
-NOT LOOKING GOOD AT ALL.
WE PULLED OUR FIRST
TWO POTS OF CRAB.
IT'S NOT LOOKING
SO PRETTY RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE NOT FINDING [BLEEP]
Narrator:
AFTER TRAVELING 600 MILES...
GOT NOTHING TO REALLY SAY
EXCEPT FOR OUCH.
Narrator:
...THE CAPTAIN'S RUSSIA BET
IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A BUST.
JUST DISAPPOINTING.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST HIT
THE JACKPOT RIGHT OFF THE BAT?
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
NAMASTE.
OH, POW! ON TOP!
-OH! OH!
-OH, YEAH, BABY!
LOOKS SHINY!
THIS ONE LOOKS WAY BETTER.
GOT HANGERS ON THE TOP.
YEAH!
-LOOK AT HOW SHINY! SHINY!
-HELL YEAH!
WE CAN LIVE WITH THIS.
LOOKING A LOT BETTER
THAN THAT.
1!
8!
-8! YEAH, BABY!
-YEAH, BABY!
YAHOO! THANK YOU, GOD.
IT'S A REALLY,
REALLY AMAZING SIGN, BROTHER.
YEAH!
-[BLEEP] "A."
-YEAH.
-THAT'S WHAT WE LOOKING FOR.
THEY'RE COMING!
THEY'RE COMING HOT!
LOOK AT THAT COLOR, MAN!
Neal:
THEY'RE JUST COMING, BROTHER.
WHOO!
[ ALL CHEERING ]
[ LAUGHS ]
HOLY MOLY, NEAL.
THAT POT WAS AWESOME, MAN.
THERE'S A LOT OF CRAB
IN THERE.
-OH, MY GOD.
-HOPEFULLY WE STAY ON 'EM.
CRAB LEGS!
CRAB FISHING NOW!
I'M VERY HAPPY.
[ GRUNTING ]
THIS ONE'S GONNA BE
LIKE 600, DUDE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN
DREAMING ABOUT.
610.
-610.
-[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'LL GET US
GOING HOME REAL QUICK.
Narrator: FOUR DAYS AND
2,700 GALLONS OF FUEL LATER...
THERE'S A MOTHER LODE
OUT HERE, MAN.
Johnathan:
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THIS GOOD.
ABLE TO DUMP THOSE BAD GUYS?
-WHOO!
-ON THE MOTHER LODE, BABY!
Narrator:
...RUSSIA REWARDS JOHNATHAN
WITH SOME OF HIS BEST
OPIE FISHING IN YEARS.
I WANT TO PICK AND DUMP, MAN.
IT'S JUST GETTING BETTER
THIS WAY, NEAL.
WE'RE THE ONLY BOAT
UP HERE FOR MILES
AND MILES AND MILES.
OH, MY GOD.
[BLEEP] TIGHT, MAN!
TEAMWORK, TEAMWORK!
-YEAH!
-YEAH!
CREW'S GONNA BE PULLING
ON THROUGH THE NIGHT.
Narrator:
IT'S STILL EARLY, BUT SO FAR,
THE TIME BANDIT'S
RUSSIAN COLLUSION IS "YUGE."
Narrator: AND NOW FROM
THE COLBURN FAMILY ARCHIVES.
HI. I'M KEITH COLBURN, CAPTAIN
OF THE FISHING VESSEL WIZARD
ON THE TV SHOW
"THE DEADLIEST CATCH."
AND THIS IS
MY NEW GREENHORN.
DAD, DID YOU KNOW
THAT 90% OF THE PEOPLE
THAT DROWN IN RECREATIONAL
BOATING ACCIDENTS
WERE NOT
WEARING A LIFE JACKET?
YOU'RE RIGHT, CAELAN.
RESPONSIBLE BOATERS
ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET.
ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN QUICKLY
AND WITHOUT WARNING.
SO, CAELAN, DON'T LET ME
CATCH YOU ON THE WATER
WITHOUT A LIFE JACKET ON.
DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU,
EITHER, DAD.
-BOAT RESPONSIBLY.
-BOAT RESPONSIBLY.
Announcer: THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE U.S. COAST GUARD.
Narrator: 160 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...
...ON THE WIZARD...
I'M GONNA HAUL AS MANY POTS
AS I POSSIBLY CAN
AND HOPEFULLY GET
ALL THE GEAR SET ON THE CRAB.
...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN IS
ABOUT TO PULL A PROSPECT STRING
HE SET 18 HOURS AGO...
...WHILE HIS GREENHORN
SON CAELAN
TURNS A DARKER SHADE OF GREEN.
DOESN'T SOUND TOO GOOD.
-I'M GOOD.
-ROGER THAT.
JUST GOT TO KEEP SOMETHING
IN YOUR BELLY, MAN.
OH, YEAH.
Narrator: ON HIS FIRST
FISHING TRIP ON DAD'S BOAT,
CAELAN IS REALLY GUTTING IT OUT.
Keith: HIS LITTLE BOUT
WITH SEASICKNESS.
GUARANTEED YOU'LL HAVE
LOTS OF HURDLES.
IT'S JUST GETTING
OVER THEM ONE AT A TIME
AND NOT LETTING THEM
GET IN YOUR WAY TOO MUCH.
Caelan: AT THIS POINT, I'M
UP HERE FOR HIM MORE THAN ME,
PROVING IT TO HIM
THAT I CAN DO IT.
ALL RIGHT. HERE SHE COMES, GUYS.
-WHOO!
-OH, YEAH!
IT WOULD BE AWFULLY NICE
TO SEE SOME CRAB
IN THIS FIRST POT.
Roger:
COMING UP THIS EARLY,
WE'D REALLY LIKE TO GET
ON THE CRAB FAST
AND MAKE IT A QUICK TRIP.
HOLY [BLEEP] SMOKES.
WHAT'D WE GET?
NOT ENOUGH.
THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE AFTER.
GET UP THERE, BUDDY.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW MY SON
WANTS TO MAKE ME PROUD.
THAT GOES TWO WAYS.
I MEAN, I WANT MY SON
TO SEE ME DO WELL.
I DON'T WANT HIM TO SEE ME HAVE
THE WORST 50-POT OPENING SET
AS I CAN EVER REMEMBER HAVING.
YOU KIND OF WANT TO BE
THE ROCK STAR,
AND THAT AIN'T HAPPENING.
[ SIGHS ]
PRETTY SLIM PICKINGS SO FAR.
WE AIN'T GONNA GET FAT
AND HAPPY WITH THIS.
Narrator: THE CAPTAIN'S
ROLL OF THE DICE IN THE EAST
IS COMING UP SNAKE EYES.
I GUESS NOT THIS YEAR.
Keith: WE BOMBED.
JUST, UH...
NOTHING, MAN. NOTHING AT ALL.
GARBAGE.
Narrator: NOW HE STACKS HIS POTS
AND LOOKS WEST.
I'M CURIOUS IF JOHN'S CATCHING
ANY CRAB WAY UP THE HILL.
NOW, IF HE'S ON SOME HOT FISHING
WAY UP AT THE WEST LINE,
I'D BE FOOLISH NOT TO TRY
AND GET UP THERE.
Narrator:
NOT SURPRISINGLY, RUSSIA
IS LOOKING A WHOLE LOT BETTER
TO THE VETERAN SKIPPER.
Man: OH, GET SOME!
[ ALL CHEERING ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
-HELLO. TIME BANDIT.
-Time Bandit...
OH, COYOTE.
RIGHT BY THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
HOW YOU DOING?
We haven't found much.
I GOT ABOUT 12 MORE POTS
TO PULL IN THE CANYON,
BUT JUST A LOT
OF SAND FLEAS
FROM THE TOP
OF THAT OTHER CANYON.
FROM THE CANYON BELOW ME.
BUT DID YOU -- HOPEFULLY YOU GOT
A FEW OUT OF THE CANYON THERE.
DID YOU GET
A COUPLE, ANYWAYS?
I stretched all the way up
to the Russian border.
OH, WELL,
I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
I'm not coming for that.
OKAY, JOHN.
HEY, STAY SAFE UP THERE, OKAY?
-Talk to you soon.
-OKAY, SEE YA.
OKAY, BYE.
[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH, BABY!
WE FOUND A HONEY POT!
AH! LOOK AT THAT!
Narrator: THE VETERAN CAPTAIN
TOOK A BIG RISK.
I GOT HERE ALL THE WAY TO
THE RUSSIAN LINE. I WENT ALL-IN.
Narrator:
NOW HE'S KEEPING THE REWARDS.
TILL I GOT THIS LITTLE
MAGIC DEPTH,
AND I'M NOT GONNA TELL EVERYBODY
WHAT THE MAGIC DEPTH IS.
SWEET, LOOK AT HOW SHINY,
THOSE BABIES.
-YEAH.
-LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS, MAN.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ ALL CHEERING, SHOUTING ]
[BLEEP]
[BLEEP]
HO! HO!
MY HAIR'S STANDING ON MY [BLEEP]
WHOO-HOO!
WE'LL DUMP THIS BACK, GUYS.
GOING DOWN.
[ MEN CONTINUE CHEERING ]
OUR FIRST TRIP
IS OFFICIALLY ALMOST UP.
*
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
FROM THE TIME BANDIT.
