Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 7, Episode 13 - Pirate School - full transcript

♪

I'm mentally tired and exhausted and
I miss my dad.

I always wonder if I'm doing the
right thing

and he's not here to ask that
question to.

I think everybody wants a
legacy, you know?

None of us are gonna live forever.

If something happened to me right
now,

what would happen with, you know,
the boys?

Would they be set up?

I never handed them anything in my
life.

I made them work for every damn
thing they have.



It's time that I get my affairs
arranged

so if something did happen to me
their life would be easier.

They earned it, believe me, putting
up with my

for all these years.

Just what would happen if I fell off
the face of the earth right now?

We've got to start our own legacy
now. It's our time.

♪ THEME MUSIC

Watch out!

560km north-west of Dutch Harbor...

God, I want so bad to keep this
operation going.

..on the Cornelia Marie...

More than anything in the world.

I don't want to let me dad down, or
myself.

..Jake and Josh Harris are struggling
to keep their father's legacy alive.



Oh!
Oh, my God!

Two days ago, skipper Tony Lara
surprised his crew

and moved away from big numbers.

It's easier to laugh than cry, isn't
it?

Now the crew is paying the price.

We've only got about 15, 20 crab
hitting the table right now.

It's not easy money any more.

We've got to work for it.

We've still got a ways to go in the
gear.

We won't be stopping here for a
little bit.

I don't know if the guys are gonna
like me here in the next day.

Ah, we got about 30 crab.

Oh. That sucks.

No sleep and no crab.

For the new captain, the honeymoon is
over.

I don't know what we're gonna do
here.

By sunrise, the men are exhausted.

Morale is low.

Hopefully Tony knows what he's
doing.

Kind of moving north. I don't know
what's up there,

but we're gonna go look.

Oh, man!
Crud!

Um... little disappointing, to say
the least.

Already at rock bottom...

We'll just keep hauling.

..the skipper gets more bad news.

What did you say? We have bait for
15 pots?

So we don't even have enough to haul
this string?

Is that what you're saying?

me!

Ugh!

OK, Ryan, you need to communicate
better with me,

cos we just spent the last hour
driving away from the cod pots.

You know, that's a two-hour faux
pas.

OK, guys.

We're going to waste about two
hours of daylight going to get cod.

Progress kinda came to a screeching
halt.

With two hours of downtime ahead,
Josh makes his way to the wheelhouse.

Josh!
Yes, sir.

There's three things you do when you
have a guy that .

The first thing you want to do is
you compliment him, OK?

That takes him off the defensive,
then he's gonna listen to you.

Second you gotta address the issue
at hand.

The third thing is you tell him a
joke,

tell him about the time you
worse than he did.

If you're gonna teach a guy to do
things, stick to those steps.

Ryan, come here.

OK, you've been doing a good job on
the bait,

but I'll tell you, communication is
the most important thing, you know?

Basically, I just drove an hour so I
can turn around

and drive back an hour to haul the
cod pots and drive back.

That's two hours of wasted daylight.

I should have let you know last
night,

but cos we've been up for 30
hours I forgot.

I don't give a .

Your job is to let me know how
much bait's in that bin.

I found out and I realised -

You need to let me know before we
don't have enough to haul a string.

You need to communicate with me what
the we're doing.

What difference does that make on
how many cod -

Communication from the skipper to
let us know what's going on.

Every string, tell me how much cod
fish we have left.

All right.
OK? Yeah. That's fine.

Simple.

OK, we skipped step 3 cos it was
going .

Not communicating with the crew and
letting them know

if we're hauling strings or laying
down or eating dinner,

if I get to poop, what, you know?

Gotta know what the hell's
going on.

It's about communication and it
starts from the top.

56km to the south-west is the
Ramblin' Rose.

The fishing's bad.

We're a little behind, but better
late than never.

Captain Elliott Neese is playing
catch-up

after starting the season with
breakdowns and low numbers.

It's making me a little nervous.

Everybody else is stacking out of
here.

The spot he's on is emptying.

I think there's some crab around
here, so we'll see.

I'm gonna give it a day, we'll give
it a day.

But the greenhorn skipper is gambling
that the crab

are still on these grounds.

First pot right here.

I gotta find the crab. There's no
two ways around it.

That's the biggest one of the year
right there.

plenty of room. Come aboard.

Hell, yeah!
All right, crab!

Crabalanche!

Crabalanche.
Woo!

We're gonna have to build new walls
on the side of this table.

I'm loving what I see.

Oh, they're nice crab too, really
nice-looking crab.

This is gonna top off the mid-tank -
you can almost guarantee it.

Ah.

But just as they land on the crab...

We're all good fishing right now.
You can't beat it.

Who's your daddy?

Better get in there and see what's
going on.

Brr!

Engineer, captain and deck boss all
rolled into one.

Elliott's diagnosis - one of the
boat's two propellers is gone.

Now he'll have to cut his trip short
and crawl to town

using the remaining prop.

God, everything was going so
perfect.

Filling up the tanks, lots of crab,
everybody's happy.

Kado.

That sucks.

Elliott faces a phone call to the
owner

about a $40,000 repair

and another long delay to the
season.

Seems to be a pretty costly little
deal right here.

They're not gonna be very happy.

Quite frankly, they could just say,
'Tie the boat up

and leave your gear in the water...'

They don't have to have this boat
fish.

♪

♪

580km to the north-west of Dutch
Harbor...

We were just on our way to loading
the boat

and now we've got to deal with this.

..the Ramblin' Rose has been shut
down for four hours

and Captain Elliott Neese fears he's
lost a propeller.

It's a $40,000 repair

that would cost the rookie skipper
two weeks of fishing

and his only shot at running a boat.

It sucks. I'm going home for sure.

That's two weeks, dude. It just
sucks.

While investigating the problem...

Shifter cable.
..Elliott makes a discovery.

What did you find out?

The MicroCommander cable is sheared
right there.

The MicroCommander cable puts the
boat in gear,

spinning the propeller and is
connected

to Elliott's controller in the
wheelhouse.

Elliott will have to do a quick
switch with a spare cable.

So he wants us to look for prop wash
when he kicks it in gear this time.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Definitely got prop wash.

near thing. It's just the
cable. Thank God.

It went from a $40,000 bill to a $40
part.

It's still there. The prop is
still there.

The crew gets back to hauling

and the credit goes to their young
leader.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, yeah!

20 more pots like that one there,

we're definitely going in that back
tank.

Elliott's the . He's the
captain, he's the engineer,

he's the deck boss, he's the
superstar deckhand.

We all just try to follow his lead.

That would have been
horrible news for me to .

80km to the east of the Ramblin'
Rose...

..is the 34m Time Bandit.

We've got 150,000lbs to catch this
trip

and we have seven days to do it in.

We've been pulling for about 18
hours today already.

OK, guys, 25 pots.

10,000lbs, we go to sleep.

If we don't, we keep grinding.

Arg.

Our Hawaiian coconut is throwing the
hook.

Well, Andy says after we pull these
25 pots,

we can take a nap, so the faster we
pull,

the faster we get to take a nap.

Go on!

I don't even know if I can reach
that over my head!

Eddie Uwekoolani Jr joined his father
on the Time Bandit two weeks ago.

Keep drinking them protein drinks.

For the greenhorn deckhand, the
journey has been rough.

In two weeks, he's seen
near-misses...

That was close.
..horrible weather...

Are you having fun yet, Eddie boy?

..and pain.

Let's call your dentist. If
you brush your teeth...

At 21 years old, he still has a lot
to learn from his father.

Eddie The Legend Uwekoolani Hook
Man.

He's a rocket, man. He don't miss.

Everybody says he's really good and
I guess he is.

Yeah!

Yeah, baby!

All righty!

Yeah!

0, 290.

The crab are starting to
come up. Come on, come on.

Five hours later, the crew is still
shy of Andy's goal.

Nobody's , nobody's whining.
They're too tired.

Hey, you guys, you guys be careful
down there, man.

Keep your head in the game.

Yeah, everybody's slowing down right
now, lack of sleep.

Watch out! Whoa, whoa!

Phew. Just get the pots on the
boat...

I'll be . That scared the
out of me.

As the crew shook out the last few
crab...

Watch out! Whoa, whoa!

..the 360kg pot came loose from the
dogs,

nearly crushing the 64kg Eddie Jr.

Freaked me out there for a minute.

Oh, dude, that was scary.

That pot was coming towards us,
towards me.

It was gonna hit just right here and
crush us.

I grabbed Eddie boy and threw him
out of the way.

My heart was racing.

I didn't realise what was going on.
It was like a bright light -

I just stared at it.

That pot right there is bigger and
weighs more than a Prius.

What would your mother do, man?

Eddie Jr still has a lot to learn on
deck...

I've got to send Eddie
through Pirate School, dude.

Oh, yeah. He needs to talk like
a pirate instead of a choirboy.

He's too quiet.

..and his salty captains are happy to
continue his education.

Making his appearance on deck,
Captain John Hillstrand.

You made it through Hell and now
you're back.

You kicked its ass again.

Yep.
Good job, brother.

You're doing good out here, man.

We just gotta get you to bleep once
on camera.

We're sending you through pirate
school.

Now it's time for him to learn how
to cuss like a sailor,

maybe a little pirate lore.
Captain John will school him.

You want to be under this wing or
that wing?

I write the cheques.

He might change, he might change
your diaper,

but I write the cheque.

Right there. What's that?

That's -
red shovel!

Right?

What is that, Travis?

It's a red shovel.

What is it, Ed?
red shovel.

OK. Scott, what is that?
red shovel.

It's an ice-removing red
shovel!

Say it! You gotta say it!

That's a shovel.

A ice--removing
shovel!

Sounds like a good
pot!

Those are nice clean
crab.

See what this is?

This is almost a full tank!

That is full, almost.

It looks like there might be
snow today.

It's mighty cold outside.

He ain't gonna swear, is he?

His mom will kick his ass, won't
she?

610km from Dutch Harbor, on the 47m
Wizard...

I can never get back on the crab as
fast as I would like.

It is a painstaking ordeal.

..Captain Keith Colburn approaches
gear he reset

after losing out to the south.

There I am, there's all my gear.

I just moved 82 miles to the
north, north-west,

up the edge here

and I'm hoping there's something
in the neighbourhood.

We need to get on fishing and hot
fishing fast.

Our time is limited out here,

so we gotta hurry up and start
catching some crab.

Come on. Give the boys a big pot to
cheer about.

Oh, my God.

Small bait. That's the problem on
that one.

Cos those crab will just rip through
those baits,

next thing you know, there's nothing
for them to eat.

Hey, Danny, that's not a bait set
up.

Those each need, like, one little
tiny fish

on each one, all right?

Lynn, you've been through this
before. Show him what to do.

After four years struggling to earn
respect on the Wizard...

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on!

..Lynn's career as a fisherman hangs
by a thread.

Where are you?

If I have to have this conversation
again,

it's your last season on the boat.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Now Lynn sees an opportunity...

You've got three shots to
make one set-up.

It should be plenty easy enough.

..to make someone else the scapegoat.

We've been dumping all his jugs for
him too, right?

I'm doing the best I can.

Danny's probably getting towards the
end of his rope right now.

He's a big, strong guy, but it's
different working this pace

and these hours than it is doing
pretty much any other job out there.

I heard you the first time, dude.

You know, I know what I'm doing.

It takes a lot to get me ,

but once in awhile it's like,
', dude.'

Has Danny stopped crying over there?

What did you tell him to do?

Just grab the bait.

With all eyes now on Danny...

He's like, 'I'll get the crab.'

..Lynn slips off the radar.

Danny's feeling the effects of being
out here for about five days

and moving 15,000lbs, 20,000lbs
worth of bait.

But more times than not, the guys
break down up here

before they breakdown here.

Danny! Come on, let's move!

Oh, yeah, here it comes.

The Wizard doesn't really accept any
wimps.

She's a cranky old broad and she
doesn't want anybody on here

that's a or a baby.

After 18 hours of the Wizard's
relentless pace on deck...

..Keith keeps a wary eye on Danny.

Danny.

Danny looks like hell. That kid is
toast.

The crab's already where the guys
can reach them

and he's still pushing them towards
them.

You're wasting a set of hands on one
job you don't need

and next thing you know you're
behind on something

and now the whole crew starts
tumbling like dominoes.

Remember, don't go too deep into
that corner.

Hey, get out of that table! Get out
of that table!

While you're here, you might as well
just take a nap

because you're not doing a whole
of a lot.

Use your hands, sweep the
crab over,

get over and sweep the crab over.

Soper, you're wasting a set of hands
here, OK?

The guy could get from here to there
in five seconds

and he's asleep on the damn
table.

Those guys told me not to jam them
up too much,

so I'm waiting for them to sort.

I'm stuck there at the table and I
get in trouble if I leave,

so I don't know what to do.

I didn't know that Keith was such a
great motivational speaker.

Yeah, he is. He'd make a great
kindergarten teacher too.

I think we need to get him some
decaf.

690km north-west of Dutch Harbor...

Gut feeling is it's gonna be a big
day.

Big day.

..is the 33m Seabrooke.

First six pots I hauled, nothing.

Tens, 12s, a hundred at best.

After stumbling at the start of his
trip...

This was all 400s and 500s,

this was 500s and 600s,

this was 600s and 700s right here.

..Captain Scott Campbell Jr is on the
crab.

The fishing's here. I need to be
taking advantage of this.

Junior wakes the crew after three
hours in the rack.

General, are you fresh? It's that
time.

Whipper! Yo, Whip!

They are soaking.

They've already soaked all they can
handle.

The biggest thing is not getting
complacent, not getting lazy.

Every penny that these guys make
this trip will be earned.

As the guys hit the deck...

..Junior's younger brother Whipper
calls home.

How are you doing, babe?

Oh. I was calling to see how you
were feeling.

Send it back!

Oh, yeah! We're in 'em, boys!

Oh, geez.

Six-six-zero.

Nice way to start the day there,
fellers.

Bob, where's Whip? Is he still
inside?

Yeah, we got, like, 40,000 more
pounds to go

and then I'll fly out.

I should be home on the tenth.

We'll talk about it when I get home.
Bye, baby.

Miss you.

I don't trust you.

I think it was good for him to call
home.

They're newlyweds and they're both
young

and, you know, it's kind of set his
mind at ease.

It's just the way Whipper is.

But Whipper is keeping something from
his brother.

My family comes first and right now
my wife needs me,

so I gotta go, you know?

We're going through a tough time
right now.

I don't want to let my brother down,
you know.

Right now it's tough, you know,

and I hate to do it to the guys, you
know.

They're all a family too.

Go, Whipper, go! You need to be out
for the pot landing. Hurry up.

140km to the south-east...

Yesterday wasn't a good day for
production,

so how does that saying go?

The sun doesn't shine on the same
dog every day.

..Captain Tony Lara is still on the
hunt.

This is our furthest east stop here.

The crab are migrating to the
shallows to go mate,

so the general movement is from west
to east.

So I'm trying to move with the crab
plus jump ahead of the fleet.

As Tony approaches his eastern-most
gear...

Hey, Tony, how's it going?

..a call comes in from the Wizard.

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, I got somebody you know here
who's taking a wheel watch.

I'm gonna hand it over to him. Say
hello to the boys for me.

Tony, you got me here, buddy.

Hey, how's it going, Freddy?

Josh is right here. Do you want to
chat with him?

Freddy! What are you doing,
brother? Finally!

Are you having fun over there? Are
the guys treating you OK?

Oh, yeah, for sure, for sure.

They're pretty cool, but, you know,
I always miss you guys too.

You're always in my heart, man.

I love you guys. You know that.

You know, I miss the old man,

but, hey, the old man's always,
always around,

he's always around us.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there for
you, you know,

finish it up for the old man.

It's all good, brother. You gotta
make some money, man.

You gotta make some money.

Don't get too cosy over there, man.

You might have to come back, dude,
when we start running this boat.

Whenever we get done, we'll go get
together and do something, OK?

We gotta go visit the old man.

Bring him some flowers.

We'll go to a casino after that like
the old man would have done.

We send our love, brother. We miss
you over here.

Jake, do me a huge favour. Stay out
of trouble, man.

Please, Josh, keep an eye on him.

You know it, brother. You know it.

You'd be proud of him. He's doing
real good this season.

Man, we miss you, buddy. We miss you
so much, man.

You stay safe out there.

Love that guy, man. Miss him.

The sun is starting to come out.

The old man is smiling down on us,
telling us everything will be OK.

Hopefully he put the good word in
for us so we can catch crab.

With tanks to fill...

The only person I can blame is me if
we miss the crab.

..Tony needs these pots to be on the
crab.

That is the jackpot!

All right!
Whoa!

Jackpot!

This is an easy 500, maybe a little
more.

After three days of low morale and
poor numbers...

A lot of crab. Doing good.

..the Cornelia Marie has hit the
mother lode.

Yeah, it's a BFP.

You guys can figure out what that
is.

There's some crab here right now, so
we're staying here.

I'm not gonna run away from this.

Best fishing of the season.

Nice crab.

Really full pot.

A lot of crab going in the tank,
good numbers.

We had some obstacles, you know,
and we're jumping over them.

I think my dad would be speechless

cos me and Jake, we're getting
along,

working together as a team.

I don't think there's any words for
that.

I'm even speechless over that.

The ball's still rolling

and I think he'd be real happy with
what Josh and I are doing.

I got a good feeling.

I got a good feeling too.

Good. Oh! I knew it was coming!

♪

630km to the north-west of Dutch
Harbor...

We're just a handful of pots away
from finishing this thing off.

..is the Wizard.

OK, get out of the way!

There aren't very many smiles out
there right now.

It's been a long time since I've
seen this crew so beat-up

that they can't even celebrate
filling the boat.

Can you believe we've hauled
1,300 pots out here?

1,300 pots is a lot of pots.

Everybody deserves to get some rack
time,

but right now the priority is
filling those tanks.

So close, but yet so far.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to
hopefully getting a little sleep.

I've been up for awhile.

Danny's just right now

because he's working a little bit of
overtime.

I'm asking him to work an extra 45
minutes or an hour?

He needs to understand that there's
a lot of work to do out here,

there's gonna be days when he's
gonna work 36 hours, not 19.

It's the home stretch.

Now, Danny, I'm gonna have you stay
out for the next string

just because having a
attitude

when you're putting $900,000 worth
of crab on the boat

cos you're bummed out you gotta work
an extra hour is ,

so don't even bother trying to give
me kind of excuse, kid.

I'm, I'm...

I didn't think I had a bad attitude
at all.

I'm out here just working.

I don't think Danny's got a bad
attitude.

I think he's been up for 20 hours
and he's tired.

I don't care if I'm up at all.

I really, honestly don't.

I wanted to see the boat loaded
anyway.

Look at his face - he's been up for
awhile

and he's got a good attitude.

I don't know why he said I have a
bad attitude.

Three hours later...

Danny can head down.

..the greenhorn's shift finally ends,

but he bypasses his bunk in search of
an explanation.

Captain.
Yeah.

I... Yeah, hey, I just wanted to
talk to you about

that attitude thing.
Right.

I didn't think I had a real bad
attitude

and I was kind of wondering where
that was coming from.

You're asking me?
Yes.

You're down there, running around in
a complete funk,

cos you're losing your
downtime.

I honestly -
All right?

If you can't work one, one
hour of over - wait!

Hey, don't start getting
'But, but, but, but' with me.

Listen, keep your mouth
shut.

Got it?
Yep.

When you're dragging ass and the
rest of the crew is pumped up

and you're dragging them down
because of an attitude

cos you can't work an hour
of overtime

to put close to $1 million
of crab on this boat

and enjoy that, you're probably in
the wrong occupation.

That's it.
I just wanted -

No, I do not want a response.
OK.

I want you to understand what I just
said and think about it.

OK. OK.
Get some sleep.

All right.

I wanted to make things right and
end the trip on a good note

and now I just feel like a piece of
.

It sucks.

I'm struggling to have a whole lot
of sympathy for Danny

because I just figured out on the
calculator that he made

almost $9,600 in the last eight
days.

My first year in Alaska, I worked
10.5 months

and I made $11,000.

Can we get some crab in this
tank here?

Holy moly! Holy moly!

Really close. About that close.

With the tanks close to full...

I can't miss it.

Almost $1 million worth of crab on
this boat right now.

It's pretty amazing.

..Danny forgoes his rack time.

Danny's back!

Yeah!

I'd like to say that I had a hand in
bringing it on board.

Can't catch crab without bait.

Is that Danny?

Right on.

That's a good sign. He's going out
on deck.

Danny to get back on deck, that's
the true spirit right there.

That's a team player.

As day breaks...

I got a feeling this is the last pot
that's gonna go in the tank.

..the crew fills up the boat and ends
the trip.

Music to my ears!

Last pot of the trip. Ooh!

It's a good day.

Plugging the boat, got a killer
sunrise.

Yeah, look at that.

I didn't even see that till now.
It's beautiful. Wow.

I got to see the last pot come on,
so now I'm going to bed for a bit.

680km north-west of Dutch Harbor...

It's still a 100-average.

I mean, you can't complain with
that.

I mean, 400s are phenomenal.

..Captain Scott Campbell Jr

has been on a streak of hot fishing
for three days.

I've got half my gear on the east
side of Zhemchug Canyon

and I've got half the gear on the
west side,

so I'm just kind of working both
edges.

About the time you think you got any
of these crab figured out

is about the time that they're long
gone.

Yeah! About a third full.

We're knee-deep in the crab here.

Bad-ass fishing.

We'll take fours all day. Fours fill
the boat.

Yo.

Yeah.

Oh!

Towards the end of king crab
season...

It's just right in there.

..Whipper reported a debilitating
injury in his stomach.

Take some ibuprofen, see what
happens.

Now he claims the pain has returned.

I'm hurting.

Whipper, I'm not buying it.
Absolutely not buying it.

If it was a pulled stomach muscle,
I've seen the doctor's reports...

I know, I was just warning you.

Well, I'm just saying if you pull
this on me

and you go home because of that, you
can never come back to this boat.

I know, I understand that.

I've been paying attention to you
since I've been up here

and I've seen no signs, not one,

of your stomach bothering you while
you were out there working.

I'm just saying it's starting to.

Whipper, come on, dude.

I'm a lot smarter than I
look.

Damn! I'm tired of arguing
with this .

I mean, it's absolutely ironic that
now, all of a sudden,

after this phone call with his new
wife,

he's hurt and needs to go home.

Be a man, do your job.

Piece of is what he is.

What?
Oh, my brother.

My gut's bothering me a bit and I
admitted it.

You know, it's starting to bother me
a little bit.

He thinks I'm trying to pull some
slick manoeuvre to go home

and he's like, 'Every time's
something's going on,

you're flaking out on me'
and I'm like, 'No.'

Hey, if there ain't a bone sticking
out, we basically don't care.

Everybody's got their aches and
pains

and whatever the case may be. That's
the way it is.

We've got no time for compassion in
crab fishing, unfortunately.

It's a hard life with hard men.

Hmm. Doesn't look like he's got
stomach pain to me.

I'm not gonna play his game.

He's bluffing. I know he is. He's my
brother.

He could be hurt, you know?

I think he is, cos he wouldn't,

he wouldn't stab me in the back, you
know?

He's sore.

I've worked through some in
this cold before.

Hmm. No Whipper on deck.

I don't know where he's at.

I don't have time to mess with it.

I'm trying to get the boat full of
crab, trying to, you know,

get my gear turned, read it.

If he's gonna pull this and walk off
deck, so be it.

If he's gone longer than a month, he
can't stand it,

gets homesick and claims some
.

Family or no family, right now he's
an employee, I'm his boss.

He's not doing his job, so he's
either injured or he's quitting.

The choice is his.

The Seabrooke spits 'em out.

I mean, I like Whip, but this is the
second go-around.

They said, 'Don't do it, Junior.

Don't do it. You're gonna get
burnt.'

I didn't listen.

I'm getting burnt right now.

My own brother. Wow.

Seabrooke curse.

Opilio fishing, you're only going to
have four guys,

no matter what you do, no matter how
many you bring.

Somebody's gonna flake out or
somebody's gonna have to go home

or whatever it may be, but we always
have four guys for opilio.

The opilio curse has struck again.

You know, no matter what we do,

we'll always have four guys on the
boat for opilio.
