Jake: IN THE BEGINNING,
I CAME UP HERE FOR THE MONEY.

IT WAS JUST A JOB.

BUT I LEARNED PRETTY QUICKLY
IT WAS A LOT MORE THAN THAT.

THERE'S CAMARADERIE...

HONOR...

LOYALTY.

ALLS YOU GOT
IS THE GUY NEXT TO YOU.

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH HELL,

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT IT
THAT JUST MAKES YOU CLOSER.

YEAH!

THAT'S A BROTHERHOOD.



[ LAUGHS ]

Jake:
IT'S NOT AN EASY LIFE.

BUT WHEN YOU CAN STARE DEATH
RIGHT IN THE FACE

AND YOU LOOK TO EACH OTHER AND
YOU SMILE AND YOU KEEP GOING.

HANG ON.

I CAN FEEL HIS ARM

JUST RUB SOME [BLEEP] DIRT ON IT
AND GET BACK OUT THERE, MAN.

♪ UNITED WE STAND,
DIVIDED WE FALL ♪

IF YOU FEEL SO INCLINED TO TELL
ME WHAT MY [BLEEP] JOB IS...

WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!

...REMEMBER,
I'M THE [BLEEP] CAPTAIN!

Reporter: ALASKA IN
THE CROSSHAIRS OF 50-FOOT WAVES.

OVER 150,000 PEOPLE
ARE BEING EVACUATED

THEY'RE CALLING IT
SUPER-TYPHOON NURI.

THE STRONGEST STORM EVER
TO HIT THIS PART OF THE U.S.

OH, GOD.

OH, GOD, 1, 2, 3, 4.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

[ BELL RINGS ]

Narrator:
OCTOBER, DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA.

Sig: FOREMAN!

YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BAG
ON THE BOW.

RIGHT ABOUT THERE?

OKAY, BUDDY.

WE'LL GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.

Narrator: THE ALASKAN CRAB FLEET
ARRIVES AT THE STARTING LINE...

THERE YOU GO.
BE CAREFUL.

...AS CAPTAINS AND CREWS RUSH
TO LAY CLAIM

TO THEIR SHARE
OF A $56 MILLION BOUNTY.

Johnathan: KING CRAB 2014 --
THIS IS MY 35th SEASON.

[ LAUGHS ]
I'M LEGALLY INSANE.

Bill:
TYING UP LOOSE ENDS.

GETTING READY TO GO FISHING.

YOU GOT TO PUSH IT IN,
DUDE.

WHOO-HOO!

TIME TO GET THIS PARTY STARTED.

Narrator: THIS YEAR,
THE POT IS EVEN SWEETER.

Keith: THEY JUST ANNOUNCED
THE TANNER BAIRDI FISHERY,

AND IT'S UP, LIKE,
ALMOST 400% OR 500%.

OH! OH! OH!

Narrator: AFTER YEARS OF KEEPING
A LID ON THE BAIRDI QUOTA,

ALASKA FISH AND GAME LOOSEN
THE REINS

AND INCREASE THE NUMBERS 500%.

LAST YEAR, WE HAD 80,000 POUNDS
OF WESTERN TANNERS.

THIS YEAR,
WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE

CLOSE TO 300,000,
350,000 POUNDS TO CATCH.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S BE HONEST,
YOU KNOW.

THAT'S THE KIND OF FISHERY
THAT'S A GRIND.

IT'S NOT THE GRAVY FISHERY
OF KING CRAB OR SNOW CRAB.

Narrator: KING CRAB IS A LARGER
SPECIES THAT SCHOOL TOGETHER.

WHILE BAIRDI,
ALSO KNOWN AS TANNER CRAB,

ARE SMALLER AND HARDER TO CATCH.

YOU GOT TO WORK TO CATCH THEM.

BUT I GUARANTEE YOU THIS --

THIS BOAT'S GONNA WORK,
AND IT'S GONNA CATCH THEM.

THIS IS POTENTIALLY

OUR MILLION-DOLLAR SEASON
RIGHT HERE.

Bill: WE GOT ANYWHERE

FROM 100,000 TO 200,000 POUNDS
OF BAIRDI

DEPENDING ON HOW FISHING IS.

CONSERVATIVELY,
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE

ABOUT 1.3 MILLION BUCKS.

I REALLY NEED TO CATCH THIS CRAB
FAST.

WE HAVE A LOT OF QUOTA TO CATCH,
BOTH BAIRDI AND KING CRAB.

KING CRAB FIRST, OBVIOUSLY.

Narrator: TO SNAG THEIR PIECE
OF THE $16 MILLION POT,

CAPTAINS NEED A SWIFT
AND PRECISE KING SEASON.

THE FASTER WE GET IT CAUGHT,

THE FASTER WE GET
ONTO THE BAIRDI,

WHICH GUYS ARE ALREADY GONNA BE
WORKING ON THAT.

SO YOU GUYS ARE GONNA MAKE
THE MOST MONEY LIKE THIS.

Narrator:
SKIPPERS MUST RACE THROUGH KING

TO GET THERE BEFORE IT'S GONE.

SOUNDS GOOD.

Bill: THE FASTER WE CATCH IT,
THE MORE MONEY WE MAKE.

Narrator:
ON THE NORTHWESTERN,

THE BAIRDI BUMP
WON'T JUST BRING PROFIT...

Sig: EDGAR!

...IT'LL ALSO BRING OPPORTUNITY.

FOR OUR KING CRAB QUOTA,
WE HAVE ALMOST...

WELL, ABOUT 235,000 POUNDS.

AND THEN THE ONE THAT I'M
MORE INTERESTED IN FOR YOU --

FOR EASTERN BAIRDI,

THE ONE YOU WANTED TO FISH,
IS 193,000.

YOU ALMOST GOT 200,000 POUNDS
OF CRAB TO CATCH.

HALLELUJAH!
OH, GEEZ.

HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS!

[ LAUGHS ]

SIX TIMES THE BAIRDI QUOTA
FOR THE HANSENS...

[ Laughing ]
THAT'S A LOT OF CRAB.

JESUS.
I WAS OKAY WITH 30,000.

I KNOW.
THIS IS SERIOUS.

...MEANS A BIGGER STAKE
IN THE GAME

FOR LITTLE BROTHER EDGAR.

WE'RE GONNA FISH THE KING,

AND THEN WE GOT TO JUMP IN
AS SOON AS WE CAN

AND GET YOU GOING
ON THAT BAIRDI.

WE'LL GIVE IT
OUR BEST SHOT.

NO, YOU CATCH.

I MEAN, THAT'S MONEY.

YOU KNOW, NOW'S THE TIME
TO SHOW EVERYBODY WHAT YOU GOT.

I TOLD YOU,
THE PENDULUM SWINGS.

AND WHEN IT STARTS SWINGING,
NOW IT'S, YOU KNOW...

NOW WE'VE GOT ENOUGH
TO SHARE AND SPLIT

TO WHERE IT'S STARTING TO MAKE
A LITTLE DIFFERENT SENSE HERE.

THAT'S A GOOD NUMBER.
WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

NOW, THIS IS JUST
ANOTHER CHALLENGE, YOU KNOW?

Sig: IT'S A BIGGER QUOTA.
IT'S A BIGGER RISK.

PERFECT OPPORTUNITY.

YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO COMMIT.

Edgar:
MY INSTINCT IS OBVIOUSLY TO SAY,

"YEAH, OF COURSE
I WANT TO RUN THE BOAT.

OF COURSE I WANT TO GO CATCH
200,000 POUNDS."

BUT THEN
THE OTHER SIDE OF ME SAYS,

"AM I EVEN CAPABLE
OF DOING THAT?"

Narrator:
FOR EDGAR, THE WHEELHOUSE
HAS BEEN THE ULTIMATE GOAL...

Edgar:
YEAH, I HAVEN'T TOLD SIG YET.

YOU KNOW, I GOT THIS WHOLE NECK
THING IS BACK BUGGING ME AGAIN.

Narrator: ...BUT NAGGING
INJURIES MIGHT KEEP HIM

OUT OF THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIR.

Edgar: WE GOT RIBS OUT OF PLACE.
THEY KEEP POPPING OUT.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW --

I MEAN, JUST KING CRAB ALONE
IS GONNA BE MISERABLE FOR ME.

I MEAN, LAST YEAR,
IT WAS 30,000 POUNDS.

YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS
HARD ENOUGH TO GET.

THIS YEAR, IT'LL BE
ALMOST 200,000 POUNDS.

THAT IS A TON OF FREAKIN' CRAB
FOR A NEW CAPTAIN.

MY HEARTS TELLING ME
JUST, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE --

I MAN, JUST BUCK UP.

I TOLD SIG I WANT TO BE IN THE
WHEELHOUSE A LITTLE MORE OFTEN

SO I CAN BE AN ASSET
TO THE COMPANY

AND BE HERE FOR YOU
IF YOU NEED ME.

IT LOOKS LIKE NOW IS KIND OF
MY CHANCE TO PROVE THAT.

Narrator:
ACROSS THE DOCKS...

RED CRAB GEAR COMING OFF.

...ON THE 155-FOOT WIZARD...

YOU GOT TO GO RIGHT OVER
TO THE GROUND WITH THAT,

AND WE'LL JUST START PUTTING
POTS OVER THERE.

THE VETERAN CREW PREPS
FOR THE MASSIVE SEASON AHEAD.

THE FASTER
WE LOAD THESE POTS,

THE FASTER WE GET OUT
TO THE FISHING GROUNDS.

YEP, WE'RE GONNA LAND
RIGHT ON IT, TWO DAYS.

MOTHER LODE COMING UP.

THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST
FREAKING KING CRAB SEASON EVER!

POW!

Narrator:
IN THE WHEELHOUSE...

WHEW, YOU KNOW,
WE GOT A BUNCH OF STUFF

WE'RE GETTING HIT WITH
RIGHT NOW.

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN
KEITH COLBURN RECEIVES SOME NEWS

THAT COULD IMPACT
HIS BOTTOM LINE.

EVEN THOUGH
THE QUOTA HAS GONE UP,

WE'VE GOT A REDUCTION IN QUOTA

BECAUSE WE LOST ONE OF OUR
PRIMARY BOATS THAT WE FISH FOR.

Narrator:
THE WIZARD TYPICALLY LEASES

MORE THAN 50% OF ITS CRAB QUOTA
FROM OTHER BOATS.

Keith:
WE LOST ABOUT 40%.

OUR EX-PARTNER BOAT RAN OFF
WITH IT.

WE GOT [BLEEP]

Narrator: LOSING THAT CRAB
WILL PUT A DENT IN THEIR PROFITS

BEFORE EVEN LEAVING THE DOCK.

I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU'RE FISHING.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE MAKING MONEY,
THAT'S THE BIG THING.

WE JUST GOT TO PLAY OUR HAND
AND PLAY IT WELL.

WE JUST GOT PULLED OUT
FOR A TEST FOR A MOMENT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A TEAM MEETING.

Keith:
JAM EVERYBODY IN HERE.

COME ON IN, LENNY.

MUST BE IMPORTANT, MAN.
WHAT'S UP?

NO, UM, OKAY, SO I KNOW YOU GUYS
ARE WONDERING

ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO CATCH
FOR QUOTA?

FIRST, THE BOMB
THAT I HAVEN'T DROPPED,

BUT I'M GONNA DROP RIGHT NOW.

AND THAT IS WE LOST
ABOUT 40% OF OUR KING CRAB.

OUR BIGGEST QUOTA SHAREHOLDER
DITCHED US AFTER 10 YEARS.

SO WE BASICALLY GOT THE AX.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR,
WE HAD ABOUT 135,000 TO CATCH.

THIS YEAR, WE'RE GONNA PROBABLY
HAVE ABOUT 90,000 TO CATCH.

SO WE'RE TAKING A HIT ON THAT.

IF THERE IS A SILVER LINING,

IS THE BAIRDI TANNER QUOTA
IS UP 400%.

LAST YEAR,
IT WAS 2 1/2 MILLION POUNDS.

THIS YEAR,
IT'S 15 MILLION POUNDS.

SO THIS BOAT JUST BECAME
OFFICIALLY THE BAIRDI MACHINE

'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE MAKING
OUR MONEY THIS YEAR.

THAT'S THE HARDER STUFF
TO CATCH.

SO, THE PLAN IS
WE'RE GOING OUT FOR REDS.

WE'VE GOT ABOUT 90,000 POUNDS
TO CATCH.

THEN WE'RE GONNA COME IN,
SWAP OVER, SWITCH OVER,

GO RIGHT BACK OUT FOR TANNERS.

LET'S JUST START THIS SEASON
LIKE WE FINISHED LAST SEASON.

YOU KNOW, WE NAILED IT
ON EVERYTHING.

WE KICKED ASS FOR RED CRAB.
WE KICKED ASS FOR SNOW CRAB.

WE KICKED ASS FOR EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW WHAT?

LET'S JUST KEEP THE ROLL GOING,
OKAY?

MAKE DO WITH WHAT WE GOT.
DON'T WORRY, GUYS.

WE'VE NEVER FAILED YET.
WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT THIS TIME.

ROGER.

Keith: 900,000 POUNDS OF THIS
QUOTA WE'RE GONNA GET TO CATCH.

THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GOING BROKE AND PAYING MY BILLS

RIGHT HERE.

BUT NOW
WE'VE GOT TO GO CATCH THEM,

AND TANNERS
ARE NOT EASY TO CATCH.

Kevin: TO HAVE ANYTHING OTHER
THAN A REALLY SMALL PAYCHECK,

WE'VE GOT TO CATCH
300,000 POUNDS OF BAIRDI

IN ABOUT 10 DAYS.

AND LAST YEAR, WE SPENT 2 1/2
WEEKS TO CATCH 90,000 POUNDS.

AND WE LOST A BUNCH OF MONEY,

SO I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

THE FUTURE IS RATHER UNCERTAIN.

WHILE THE LOSS OF KING QUOTA
SETS IN ON THE WIZARD...

COMING AT YOU.

...OVER ON
THE 107-FOOT SAGA...

COME ON! LET'S GO!

ALL RIGHT.

YOU WANT TO BEND ME ANOTHER ONE
DIRTY JUST LIKE THAT.

Elliott: YEAH, I'M EXCITED
TO BE BACK THIS YEAR.

ONLY SECOND YEAR FISHING
RED CRAB,

AND I HAVE MORE QUOTA
THAN ANYBODY IN THE FLEET.

Narrator: CAPTAIN ELLIOTT NEESE
STARTS HIS SEASON OFF

WITH A CLEAN SLATE.

Elliott:
COME A LONG WAY IN TWO YEARS.

I'VE HAD SOME DEFINITE HURDLES
ALONG THE WAY,

SOME SUBSTANCE ISSUES.

THOSE ARE TAKEN CARE OF
FOR THE MOST PART.

Narrator:
LAST YEAR...

IF YOU KEEP ON THE ROAD
YOU'RE GOING ON RIGHT NOW,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A BOAT,
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE BAIRDI,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE YOUR KID,
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE VAL,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE
[BLEEP]

...THE SKIPPER'S DEMONS GOT
THE BEST OF HIM...

Elliott: I GOT TO GET
SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP.

[ SNIFFLES ]

GOT TO GO TO REHAB,
GET FIXED UP,

AND MAYBE THINGS WILL BE GOOD
FOR ME.

Narrator: ...CUTTING
HIS KING SEASON SHORT.

AND IT'S AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE,
EVERY DAY.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY
I'VE 100% BEEN GOOD,

BUT IT'S NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE.

Narrator: AND WITH NEARLY
$1.4 MILLION OF QUOTA TO CATCH,

THE PRESSURE IS ON
THE YOUNG CAPTAIN TO PRODUCE.

Jeff: I THINK HE'S GOT
HIS ACT TOGETHER

TO GET THIS CRAB CAUGHT.

THERE'LL BE SOME PRESSURE

FOR ELLIOTT TO GET ON THE CRAB
AND GET IT DONE WITH, SO...

OTHERWISE -- WE DON'T WANT TO BE
HERE TILL CHRISTMAS

TRYING TO GET SOME KING CRAB.

Elliott:
GOT MY JOB CUT OUT FOR ME.

IT'S GONNA TEST MY SKILLS,
I GUESS.

WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES.

Narrator: AS MOST OF THE FLEET
READIES FOR LAUNCH,

ACROSS TOWN...

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHOLE TOWN
OF UNALASKA

IS COMING OUT HERE,
JOHN.

[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH.

GOOD, WE'RE GONNA REPRESENT
HILLSTRAND STYLE.

WE'RE GONNA BRING IN
THE NEW YEAR.

THE HILLSTRAND BROTHERS KICK OFF
THE SEASON

WITH THEIR OWN
TRADITIONAL BANG.

WE'RE GONNA SEND 2,600 POUNDS
OF FIREWORKS IN THE AIR.

BOOM!

[ LAUGHS ]

THERE'S DIFFERENT THINGS,
KEGS AND STUFF,

THAT ARE GOING OFF
THE FIRST 2 MINUTES,

75 ARE GOING OFF
IN THE NEXT 2 MINUTES.

IT'S GONNA BE A 6-MINUTE SHOW,
2,600 POUNDS OF FIREWORKS.

$12,000 WORTH OF [BLEEP]

IT'S LOUD.

BOOM!

THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD.

ON THE OUTSKIRTS
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

THIS IS GONNA BE 2,600 POUNDS
WORTH OF FIREWORKS IN 6 MINUTES.

[ LAUGHS ]

IT SHOULD BE GOOD.

WHAT?

HAVE YOU HEARD?
NO.

WHAT'S THE BAD ACTIVITY?

THEY'RE MOVING HIS BOAT
RIGHT NOW?

YEAH.

IF THEY CAN PULL IT OFF.

Narrator:
THE MASSIVE FIREWORKS DISPLAY

WILL SERVE AS A DIVERSION

FOR THE MOST AMBITIOUS PRANK
IN DUTCH HARBOR HISTORY...

...AND "WILD" BILL ISN'T REALLY
KNOWN FOR HIS SENSE OF HUMOR.

I DON'T GIVE A [BLEEP]
IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, KID!

I WILL PUNCH YOU
IN THE FACE.

GET IN
YOUR [BLEEP] RAIN GEAR

AND GET OUT
ON THE [BLEEP] DECK.

YOU'RE GONNA [BLEEP] UP
SOME DAY, YOU KNOW?

IT'S MAKING ME CRAZY.

Narrator:
STEALING THE GUY'S BOAT --

HUH, LET'S SEE HOW THAT GOES.

WE GOT ABOUT ONE MINUTE
FOR THE SHOW.

[ CHEERING ]

THESE GUYS ARE SERIOUS.

WE GOT, LIKE, A TON AND A HALF
OF FIREWORKS UP HERE.

THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT.

Narrator: WITH "WILD" BILL'S
EYES ON THE SKY,

ACROSS TOWN...

YEAH, WE'RE GOING.

WHAT TIME IS IT?
GIVE ME A TIME.

UH, LOOKS LIKE 9:07.

ALL RIGHT,
SO WE GOT TILL 9:30.

WE GOT TO GET SERIOUS.

CAPTAIN SIG AND CREW HAVE JUST
23 MINUTES TO PULL OFF THE HEIST

OF THE MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR
CAPE CAUTION.

Sig: DID YOU BRING
YOUR INSTRUCTIONS?

YES.

AND WHERE WE GOING?

DID YOU BRING YOUR LICENSE?

YES, I BROUGHT THE LICENSE.

I JUST NEED TO KNOW
WHERE WE'RE GOING.

IF WE'RE OUT TRYING TO GO --

WE'RE GOING TO CAPE CAUTION,
WE'RE GONNA GRAB THAT BOAT,

AND WE'RE GONNA STICK IT
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL.

THEY DON'T CALL HIM "WILD BILL"
FOR NOTHING.

Narrator:
IN DUTCH HARBOR...

WE'RE GOING TO CAPE CAUTION,
WE'RE GONNA GRAB THAT BOAT,

AND WE'RE GONNA STICK IT ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL.

GET GOING, MAN.

...THE NORTHWESTERN CREW SETS
THE PLAN IN MOTION

TO STEAL THE 169-TON
CAPE CAUTION...

THESE GUYS ARE SERIOUS.

WE GOT, LIKE, A TON AND A HALF
OF FIREWORKS UP HERE.

THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT.

Narrator: ...WHILE THE
HILLSTRANDS DISTRACT ITS CAPTAIN

WITH A FIREWORKS SHOW.

ARE YOU READY?!

All: YEAH!

ARE YOU READY?!

YEAH!

YEAH, BABY.

I THINK WE --
THERE'S ONLY ONE...

WE MIGHT HAVE
KNOCKED IT DOWN.

DAMN.
[ LAUGHS ]

SHOCK AND AWE, BABY!

THAT IS GOOD.

THAT'S A...

OH, YEAH!

Sig: HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THIS?
THIS IS A BAD IDEA.

Jake: NO. YOU --

THE CLOSER YOU GET
TO DOING THE PRANK,

THE MORE YOU WANT TO BACK OUT,
ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A GOOD PRANK.

Edgar: IS THIS IT?
YEAH.

LOOK, IT'S DARK, DUDE.

FIRE HER UP RIGHT NOW.

IT'S ELECTRIC START.

THERE SHOULD BE A KEY SOMEWHERE.

COULDN'T TELL ME
WHERE THE KEYS ARE AT.

Jake:
TRYING TO SET UP.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
TURN ON ALL HIS EQUIPMENT.

I DON'T HAVE IT IN GEAR.

I'M LOOKING FOR IT TO THE LEFT.

[ BEEPING ]

I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME AND...

AHA! [ LAUGHS ]
THERE IT IS.

[ BEEPING CONTINUES ]

WHERE IS THAT [BLEEP]
COMING FROM?

IS THAT RADAR?

YEAH, I JUST --

TURN IT OFF.

THERE WE GO.

YOU DON'T NEED A RADAR.
[BLEEP]

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

WE'RE GOOD.

THAT'S ALL YOU NEED, MAN.

LET'S GO STEAL A BOAT!

THIS IS AWESOME!

[BLEEP] THIS IS
REALLY HAPPENING, DUDE.

IS THE BOW LOOSE?

GOOD.

JAKE, ALL YOU GOT TO DO
IS JUST STARBOARD ENGINE BACK,

AND THEN SHE SHOULD COME OUT
REAL NICE.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
AT STAKE HERE.

YOU'RE CLEAR!

OKAY.
GO AHEAD.

DUDE, YOU JUST STOLE
"WILD" BILL'S BOAT!

YOU JUST STOLE
"WILD" BILL'S BOAT.

JESUS.

OH, WE'RE DEAD.

YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA PAY
FOR THIS ONE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WHOA!

EVERYONE BE SAFE
OUT THERE.

[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'S SOME PRETTY GOOD [BLEEP]

THAT WAS A GREAT KICKOFF
FOR THE SEASON, MAN.

GET US IN THERE, MAN.

I'M FEELING STRESS.

COME ON, JAKE,
GET HER IN THERE, NOW.

ALL YOU GOT TO DO
IS JUST GET HER IN.

COME ON, ANDERSON!

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME,
BUDDY.

Bill: YOU'RE ALLOWED TO LEAVE
AT NOON.

THAT'S AS EARLY
AS YOU CAN LEAVE.

AND THAT MEANS
YOU'RE PREPPED AND READY.

THAT MEANS YOU'VE TAKEN CARE
OF ALL YOUR BUSINESS.

AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S ME.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S TIME TO GO.

SO, WITH ANY LUCK,
WE HAVE NO OUTSIDE SOURCES

THAT CHANGE THAT PLAN.

HERE.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE.

DUDE!

OH, MY GOD.
THAT WAS CRAZY.

WE GOT TO GET THE [BLEEP]
OUT OF HERE, BRO.

I KNOW, BUT WE --
GO!

YOU GOT IT?

GET ME OFF OF THIS THING!

WE JUST STOLE
THE BOAT.

YEAH!
THAT WAS AWESOME.

WHOO!
THEM GUYS ARE [BLEEP]

[ LAUGHS ]

THE CREW AND I HAVE PUT IN
A LOT OF EFFORT

INTO BEING READY TO GO
AT NOON TOMORROW, SO...

YOU KNOW, WE GET EVERYBODY
ON THE BOAT IN MORNING

AND THE ONE LAST CHECK TO SEE
IF PARTS AND PIECES CAME...

SHH. DON'T.

...AND OFF WE GO.

KING CRAB 2014.

WHAT THE [BLEEP]

[ LAUGHS ]

WELL, SOMEBODY THINKS
THEY'RE BEING FUNNY.

THAT'S PRETTY FUNNY.

[ LAUGHS ]

THE BOAT'S GONE.

SOMEBODY'S GOT
A LOT OF BALLS.

LET IT RIDE. LET IT RIDE.

LET IT PLAY OUT.

HEY,
DID YOU GUYS SEE A BOAT?

YOU PARKED OVER HERE,
DIDN'T YOU?

HUH?

I THOUGHT YOU PARKED DOWN THERE,
RIGHT?

YOU WENT BY ME, DIDN'T YOU,
WHEN YOU CAME IN?

PARKED RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
WHAT?

PARKED RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU PARKED
DOWN AT THE TRIDENT.

NO, I DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T PARKED IN TRIDENT.
I PARKED RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

[ Laughing ]
I DON'T KNOW.

I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE,
BILL.

NOW, HERE HE COMES.
THEY'RE ROLLING.

[BLEEP]

YEAH, SERIOUSLY,
THEY'RE ROLLING.

STAY CLOSE.
STAY THE [BLEEP] DOWN.

I WOULD GET OUT OF THE --

I THINK BILL'S GONNA CALL
THE COAST GUARD.

SO SOMEBODY
OUGHT TO TELL BILL

WHERE IS [BLEEP] BOAT IS
PRETTY FAST.

WAS I MEAN?

Oh, damn.

WELL, HERE IT IS --
CAPE CAUTION.

SOMEBODY TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES
TO MOVE IT.

THERE'S PRANKS,

AND THERE'S STUPIDITY.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT
BEYOND PRANK.

I THINK I'M CALLING
THE COAST GUARD.

I GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHO DID THIS, YOU KNOW?

SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PAY.

He's pulling out.

He's pulling out?
Somebody is.

Here comes John.
Please be John.

OH, BILL, BILL,
BILL, BILL.

I DIDN'T MOVE YOUR BOAT,
BUDDY.

OH, THIS IS GONNA HURT.

TRUCE! TRUCE.

TRUCE, TRUCE.

DON'T HIT. DON'T HIT US.

OH, BILL.

IT'S NOT FUNNY.
IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY.

WE'VE BEEN HIDING
BEHIND THAT.

I'M GONNA DIE.

I COULD HEAR YOU
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Bill:
ALL RIGHT, IT'S FUNNY.

I DIDN'T THINK SO AWHILE AGO,
BUT I FEEL A LOT BETTER.

IT'S ACTUALLY
PRETTY [BLEEP] FUNNY.

I'VE BEEN BERING SEA PRANKED.

[ LAUGHTER ]

ALL RIGHT, CUT HER LOOSE.
LET'S GO FISHING.

BERING SEA DECIDED TO GET
A LITTLE BIT PISSED OFF.

Johnathan: GLADIATORS GOING
IN THE GLADIATORS' DEN.

WHOO!

YEAH!
WE'RE MAKING MONEY NOW!

THAT'S THE GUY THAT STOLE
ALMOST HALF MY CRAB.

MY NUTS FEEL LIKE
A [BLEEP] PUNCHING BAG.

Narrator:
400 MILES FROM DUTCH HARBOR

IN SAND POINT, ALASKA...

[ ENGINE SPUTTERS ]

...WHILE THE FLEET IS POISED TO
LAUNCH THE SEASON...

[ ENGINE SPUTTERS ]

...CAPTAIN CASEY McMANUS
AND CREW

CAN'T EVEN GET
TO THE STARTING GATE.

Casey: ON THE CRUISE
BETWEEN KODIAK AND DUTCH,

THE PORT MAIN ENGINE
DECIDED TO CUT LOOSE ON US.

RAN EVERYTHING EXTREMELY HOT.

HAD A BUNCH OF FIRE BLOWING OUT
THE STACK LIKE A JET ENGINE.

Narrator: A RECENT FAILURE
ON THE PORT-SIDE MAIN

FORCED A DETOUR
TO THE NEAREST DOCK.

Casey:
UNTIL OUR PARTS GET HERE,

WE ARE IN THE WONDERFUL WORLD
OF WAITING.

LUCK HAS NOT BEEN ON OUR SIDE,
AND JOSH --

HE WAS GONNA MEET US
IN DUTCH HARBOR.

WELL, NOW JOSH HAS MADE IT DUTCH
ON SCHEDULE,

BUT WE HAVEN'T.

SO JOSH IS SITTING IN DUTCH
WAITING FOR US,

AND WE'RE SITTING HERE WAITING
FOR PARTS.

Narrator:
BACK IN DUTCH...

Josh: ...RIGHT NOW.

Narrator: ...JUST A FEW HOURS
AFTER LANDING IN TOWN,

BOAT OWNER JOSH HARRIS
IS TAKING THE FIRST TICKET OUT.

IT KILLS ME BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO
GET OUT AND MAKE MONEY.

WE GOT PAYMENTS COMING OUT

THE [BLEEP] TAIL END OF MY EARS
RIGHT NOW.

EVERYTHING I'VE SAVED UP
FOR THIS BOAT,

ALL THE BUDGETS I'VE PUT OUT --

WE'VE EXCEEDED THOSE BUDGETS

BY 10 TIMES WHAT I THOUGHT
WE WERE GONNA DO.

Narrator:
ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF

AFTER BUYING BACK
HIS LATE FATHER'S BOAT...

Josh:
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM LIKE

THERE'S AN END
TO PAYING THE BILLS.

Narrator: ...THE YOUNG BOAT
OWNER IS SWIMMING IN DEBT.

IN ORDER TO MAKE ANY MONEY
AT ALL,

WE REALLY GOT TO DO A GOOD JOB

AND DO IT
IN THE FASTEST WAY POSSIBLE.

SO I'M PRAYING THAT WE CAN.

YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IF WE DON'T,
THEN IT'S OVER.

WE WOULD BE BANKRUPT.

Narrator:
AS JOSH DEPARTS FOR SAND POINT

TO SALVAGE
THE CORNELIA'S SEASON...

THERE YOU GO.

...ACROSS TOWN ON THE SAGA...

FINALLY, GET THE [BLEEP]
OUT OF HERE, DO SOMETHING.

...EVERYONE ON BOARD
IS READY TO THROW LINES...

WHAT'S THAT?
HE HASN'T GOT UP YET?

NOT YET.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

...WELL, ALMOST EVERYONE.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WE'RE GONNA START
THE MAINS UP.

IT'S LIKE...1:30.

I KNOW WE'RE ON YOUR BOAT,
EL.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU
WANT TO CHANGE YOUR IMAGE,

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY
GET UP AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF --

OKAY, IT'S YOUR BOAT, EL.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.

I'D DO THIS WITH ANYBODY

IF I WAS WORKING ON THE BOAT,
ELLIOTT.

OKAY, WELL, WE'RE GONNA TORCH
THE BIG ONES OFF, SO...

WHATEVER.

Elliott: I'VE NEVER HAD
ANY OTHER CREWMAN

COME UP AND [BLEEP] BOTHER ME.

I WORKED FOR A GUY --
YOU NEVER SAW HIM.

ONLY TIME YOU SAW HIM
WAS WHEN WE LEFT THE DOCK

AND THEN WHEN YOU TIED UP
TO THE DOCK.

AND NOBODY EVER WENT UP
AND BANGING ON THE DOORS,

TELLING HIM,
"OH, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.

OH, YOU GOT TO GET UP.
YOU GOT TO GET UP."

FOR WHAT?

WHAT THE [BLEEP]
DO I GOT TO GET UP FOR?

THROWING LINES.
WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

THIS IS WHAT
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Narrator: AFTER WEEKS
OF PREPPING FOR WAR

ON THE BERING SEA...

HEY, ARE WE READY?

UH, YEAH, WE'RE GOOD.
WE'RE ALL CLEAR.

...IT'S TIME FOR THE FLEET
TO SET SAIL.

HERE WE GO --
KING CRAB '14.

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?

ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS.

SEE YOU IN ABOUT A MONTH.

BE SAFE, MAN.
OKAY, MAN.

ALL RIGHT
[BLEEP] CUT HER LOOSE.

LET'S GO FISHING.

GOING FISHING.

Sig: THIS YEAR,
IT'S GONNA BE A RACE...

[ HORN BLOWS ]

...TO FINISH UP THAT RED CRAB
SEASON AND START THE BAIRDI.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME
TO MAKE MISTAKES.

FIRST GUY ON THE BAIRDI GROUNDS
IS GONNA HAVE THE BEST CHANCE

TO GET CRAB
BEFORE IT GETS PICKED OVER.

WATCH YOURSELF BACK THERE,
GUYS.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT THE THING
ON THE RAILS.

I KNOW I DO!

OKAY.

I GOT TO GET THE BOW
OFF THE DOCK.

WATCH OUT!

GLADIATORS GOING
IN THE GLADIATORS' DEN.

Narrator:
CAPTAINS WILL RACE

TO STUFF THEIR TANKS
WITH RED CRAB...

Bill: WELL, THERE'S DAMN NEAR
$1 MILLION WORTH OF PRODUCT

ON THE LINE.

I'M A LOT MORE APPREHENSIVE,
A LOT MORE NERVOUS.

Narrator: ...TO GET FIRST DIBS
ON THE BAIRDI JACKPOT.

Edgar:
200,000 POUNDS OF BAIRDI

AFTER A FULL SEASON
OF KING CRAB --

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

Elliott: ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WITH NO FURTHER DELAY,

LET'S START THE SHOW.

BOO-YAH!

Narrator:
ON THE RED CRAB GROUNDS...

PUT THEM ON THE CRAB,
BOYS.

OKAY, LET HER GO.

GOING OVER!

BOO-YAH-KA!

KING CRAB, 2014, BABY.

Narrator: ...CAPTAINS RACE
TO SET THEIR FIRST STRINGS.

ONCE WE FINISH RED CRABBING,
WE GOT A LOT OF BAIRDI TO CATCH.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE.

Narrator:
WITH AN EXTRA $16 MILLION

WAITING ON THE BAIRDI GROUNDS...

YEAH, BUDDY.
WHOO!

YEAH!
WE'RE MAKING MONEY NOW!

Narrator: ...FINDING CRAB
RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE

HAS NEVER BEEN MORE CRITICAL.

Bill: YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO RUN
THIS WAY TO CROSS THE DEPTHS.

THESE CRAB --
THEY'RE PRETTY UNPREDICTABLE.

BUT ONCE YOU FIND A DEPTH,

IT HOLDS TRUE
FOR MOST OF THE SEASON.

IF YOU HIT ON YOUR OPENING SET,
YOU'RE IN.

IT'S KING CRAB, BABY.

Narrator:
ON THE WIZARD...

WE'RE GONNA BASICALLY SET
ABOUT A 75-MILE PROSPECT STRING.

ALL RIGHT?

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA COME
RIGHT BACK AROUND,

AND WE'RE GONNA START
HAULING GEAR RIGHT AWAY.

...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN AND
CREW RALLY FOR THE FIRST SET.

THIS SEASON'S GONNA PROBABLY GO
REALLY [BLEEP] FAST.

WE DON'T HAVE
AS MUCH KING CRAB

AS WE NORMALLY HAVE HAD
IN THE PAST.

THIS YEAR, WE NEED TO GET INTO
THAT TANNER CRAB FISHERY

REALLY QUICK,

SO WE'RE GONNA BE [BLEEP]
BLASTING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

TO GET THIS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY
IT'S 100,000 POUNDS OF CRAB,

CAUGHT AND THEN GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK.

RIGHT ON.
THANKS, BOSS.

BEST KING CRAB SEASON
EVER!

GOOD LUCK, BOYS.

GOOD LUCK. STAY SAFE.
STAY ON THE BOAT.

Keith: I GOT TO GET ON
SOME BIG NUMBERS FAST.

IF I'VE EVER BEEN POSITIVE
THAT THE CRAB ARE GONNA BE WEST,

THIS IS THE YEAR.

Narrator:
UNDER PRESSURE TO MAKE UP

FOR A LOSS
OF KING CRAB QUOTA...

...CAPTAIN KEITH
MUST FIND HIS KINGS FAST

TO GET TO THE BAIRDI GROUNDS
IN TIME TO CASH IN.

Keith: AND IT'S FOUR OR FIVE
DEGREES WARMER THIS YEAR.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE WARMEST
I'VE EVER SEEN IT.

YOU KNOW, NORMALLY THIS IS
ALL BLUE AND PURPLE.

AND THIS YEAR, I MEAN, LOOK
HOW -- I MEAN, THAT'S WARM.

THAT'S GONNA PUSH THEM DEEPER

BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA BE LOOKING
FOR COLDER WATER.

Freddy:
SO FREAKING EXCITING!

THIS IS GONNA BE
A BAD-ASS --

QUICKEST KING CRAB SEASON EVER
IN HISTORY OF MANKIND.

HEY, WE'RE GONNA SET, GUYS.

OKAY, ROGER.

ALL RIGHT. GO!

GONNA GET RICH.

MOTHER LODE COMING UP.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR ANY JOCKEYING AROUND.

THE WHOLE GOAL
IS TO OUTPLAY AND OUTSMART

THE REST OF THE GUYS OUT HERE

AND GET THE CRAB CAUGHT FAST.

POW!

RIGHT ON TOP OF THE CRAB,
CHA-CHING.

THAT'S THE GOAL.

Narrator:
JUST SIX MILES SOUTHEAST...

Johnathan: I'M OUT IN A DEEP
HOLE WHERE I USED TO FISH.

Narrator:
...ON THE TIME BANDIT...

I SEE KEITH COLBURN
ON THE WIZARD

ABOUT 10 MILES ABOVE ME SETTING.

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN
JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND FINDS

THAT THE WIZARD
HAS BEATEN HIM TO HIS SPOT.

Johnathan:
I WAS GONNA START OFF BY KEITH.

BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN,

HE TURNED AND STARTED SETTING
RIGHT WHERE I WAS GONNA START.

SO, WHAT'S THE ODDS OF THAT?

I HAVE NO IDEA,
BUT SURE AS [BLEEP]

HE STOPPED RIGHT THERE
AND STARTED SETTING.

NO MERCY OUT HERE, DUDE.

WE'RE JUST GONNA SET
A REGULAR STRING.

Narrator:
THE CAPTAIN IS FORCED TO SET

ON LESS DESIRABLE GROUNDS.

FIRST POT OF THE SEASON
GOING OVER.

GOING OVER.

2014.

WE'RE NOT SETTING
WHERE WE WANTED TO SET,

BUT I'M JUST GONNA GET THEM IN
THE [BLEEP] WATER RIGHT NOW.

LET'S HOPE IT LANDS
ON SOMETHING.

NICE, BIG KING CRAB.

HOPE SO.

I DON'T HAVE A BROTHER OUT HERE
NAMED ANDY

'CAUSE HE'S RUNNING THE CO-OP
AND DOING ALL THE BUSINESS,

WRITING ALL THE CHECKS.

I MISS MY ALL-STAR --
SCOTTY HILLSTRAND'S GONE.

AND, YOU KNOW,
SCOTTY GOT FIRED.

Narrator:
LAST SEASON...

SO, I WAS TALKING TO MY DAD
A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT QUOTAS AND STUFF.

IF YOU GUYS DO END UP
DECIDING TO LEASE THE QUOTA OUT,

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT
YOUR GUYS' LEASE RATE WOULD BE.

SCOTTY, WE DON'T HAVE A PLAN
RIGHT NOW.

...SCOTTY HILLSTRAND MADE A PLAY
TO GET HIS OWN BOAT...

Scotty: I'M NOT TRYING TO
PUSH YOU GUYS OUT. I NEVER WAS.

YEAH, YOU ARE, BECAUSE
THE QUESTION YOU'RE ASKING ME

IS "GIVE ME YOUR QUOTA."

Andy: I'M DONE, DUDE.

...AND IT DID NOT SIT WELL
WITH UNCLE ANDY.

YOU CAN'T UNDERMINE THE CAPTAIN
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK.

YOU GOT TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
OR ELSE YOU LOSE YOUR JOB.

AND I KNOW BOTH PARTIES
ARE SAD ABOUT IT,

BUT THERE'S NO CHANGING
WHAT HAPPENED.

AND I MISS BOTH OF THEM
RIGHT NOW.

SO, ME AND KEITH --

SON OF A BITCH.

NOT VERY HAPPY.

Narrator:
80 MILES NORTH

ON THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN...

Matt: MOST OF THE BAIT'S
READY TO GO FOR THIS LOAD.

I'M JUST WAITING
FOR THE CAPTAIN.

Sig:
TRYING TO STAY IN OPEN WATER,

GET A FEEL OF THE LAND.

I CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN A LOT OF
GUYS DOWN TO THE SOUTH OF US.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN

PREPARES TO DROP
HIS FIRST STRING

FAR ABOVE
THE REST OF THE FLEET.

WE'RE GONNA BE OUT
WHERE WE HAVEN'T FISHED

IN THE LAST PROBABLY,
I DON'T KNOW, FIVE OR SIX YEARS.

I DON'T SUSPECT
THAT EVERY POT'S GONNA HIT.

I DON'T INTEND IT TO.

WHAT I WANT
IS TO COVER ENOUGH AREAS

SO THAT I CAN READ MY GEAR
AND IT WILL TELL ME A STORY.

THAT'S WHAT'S SO FUN
ABOUT THIS GAME.

WE'RE MAKING THIS
QUICK AND EASY.

Narrator: TO HELP OUT WITH
THIS YEAR'S MASSIVE QUOTA...

HEY, KARL.

I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY GO
WITH TWO COD FISH.

...CAPTAIN SIG ADDED
SOME NORWEGIAN YOUTH

TO HIS AGING DECK.

CAN YOU DO FIVE THINGS
AT ONCE?

WELL, ON THIS BOAT, YOU'RE GONNA
LEARN HOW TO DO FIVE.

23-YEAR-OLD KARL RASMUSSEN.

HIS GRANDFATHER WAS IN
THIS FISHERY EARLY ON

ALONG WITH MY FATHER.

HOPEFULLY,
A LITTLE BIT OF YOUNG BLOOD

WILL KICK IT UP A NOTCH HERE.

Narrator:
BUT BEFORE KARL CAN BE

A FULL-FLEDGED MEMBER
OF THE CREW...

DO WE HAVE A HERRING IN PLACE
FOR OUR LUCKY CONTESTANT?

ROGER!
AW [BLEEP]

Narrator: ...HE'LL HAVE TO PROVE
HE'S GOT THE GUTS.

YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING, TOO,
HUH?

I ALREADY KNEW.

Jake: I WAS GONNA HEAT IT UP
FOR YOU A LITTLE BIT.

Narrator:
AND FOR A GOURMET TOUCH...

WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT AFRAID
TO EAT THAT,

SO WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT EASY
FOR YOU.

...BRAKE-FLUID DRIZZLE,
BLOW-TORCH SAUTéED.

OH!

THERE YOU GO.
NOW YOU'RE COOKING WITH GAS.

WARM AND RUNNY.
THE BLOODIER, THE BETTER.

THERE YOU GO.

WHILE IT'S HOT.

ALL THE WAY!
ALL THE GUTS.

GET THE GUTS.

KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING!

DEEPER!

DEEPER!

MORE!
WE KNOW YOU LIKE IT.

DOES THAT TASTE
LIKE BRAKE FLUID?

[ LAUGHS ]

GOOD JOB!

NOTHING LIKE THE TASTE
OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE MORNING.

GOOD JOB, KARL.

Sig: VERY NICE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

KARL, FIRST POT KING CRAB.

MY FIRST EVER.

YEAH!
AWESOME!

LET HER GO.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

KING CRAB!

KING CRAB, 2014!

Sig:
I WANT TO CATCH THIS CRAB FAST

SO I CAN GET EDGAR A HEAD START
OUT TO THE BAIRDI GROUNDS.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

THERE'S ALWAYS FAST FISHING
SOMEWHERE.

IF I FIND A PILE
THAT I CAN WORK ON

THAT I KNOW I CAN PULL FASTER,
I WILL.

WE'LL SOON FIND OUT.

Narrator: 170 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...ON THE WIZARD...

Keith: I JUST HOPE I SEE
SOME CRAB IN THESE POTS, MAN.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL FIND
THE BANZAI HOT SPOT.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN CHARGES

UP TO HIS FIRST RED CRAB POTS.

Keith:
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON,

WE GOT OUR KING CRAB QUOTA
SLASHED.

WE PICKED UP A BUNCH OF BAIRDI,

AND, HOPEFULLY,
THAT'S GONNA BAIL US OUT.

WE NEED TO GET
TO THE DOCK FIRST

AND GET OUR BAIRDI GEAR
ON THE BOAT

AND GET THE HECK BACK OUT HERE.

Narrator: THE SKIPPER MUST FISH
KING CRAB QUICKLY...

THE FIRST POT, MOTHER LODE --
WE NEED IT.

Narrator:
...THEN SWITCH GEARS FAST ENOUGH

TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF HIS HUGE BAIRDI QUOTA.

OKAY, GUYS,
COMING UP HERE PRETTY QUICK.

THERE WE GO.
GET A LITTLE LUCK GOING.

FIRST POT OF THE SEASON
COMING UP, BROTHERS.

[ LAUGHS ]

COME ON, BABY.

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.

WHOA!

[ CHEERING ]

YEAH!

WHOA!

YEAH, BABY!
OOCH, OOCH, OOCH!

[ LAUGHS ]

HELL, YEAH!

YEAH!

BOO-YAH!

WHOO!

YEAH!

[ LAUGHS ]

WHOO-HOO!

YEAH, BABY!

WHOO-HOO!

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD

AND START SLAPPING THEM OUT
RIGHT HERE.

NUMBER 1.

THE BEST OF THE BEST.

[ MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ]

Keith:
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

OHH.

[ SIGHS ]
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT --

THE LAST GUY I WANTED TO SEE
OUT HERE FISHING

IS THAT GUY RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S THE GUY THAT STOLE
ALMOST HALF MY CRAB.

Narrator: THE 10-YEAR
PARTNERSHIP DISSOLVED

JUST BEFORE THE SEASON,

SLASHING KEITH'S QUOTA
BY NEARLY HALF.

THAT'S THE GUY
I MADE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR

IN THE LAST DECADE AS A PARTNER.

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE,

NOW HE'S GONNA SET
RIGHT THROUGH MY GEAR.

SOMEONE'S GONNA CATCH
THIS CRAB.

IT'S EITHER GONNA BE ME

OR SOMEBODY THAT I ACTUALLY
CAN WORK WITH OR LIKE.

LEAVE.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

Narrator:
JUST SIX MILES SOUTHEAST...

...ON THE TIME BANDIT...

Johnathan: IT'S NOT EXACTLY
WHERE WE WANTED TO BE,

BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL LAND
IN SOMETHING HERE.

Narrator: ...AFTER KEITH
BEAT HIM TO HIS FAVORITE SPOT,

JOHNATHAN IS ALL-IN
ON NEW GROUNDS.

Johnathan:
IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS MORNING
WHEN YOU CHECK YOUR FIRST POT.

OOH, WHAT DO I GOT?

IS THERE A LITTLE RED BIKE?

IS IT A BICYCLE
UNDER THE TREE?

THERE GOES
THAT CIGARETTE.

THERE'S THE FIRST ONE.

WHAT DO WE GOT, BOYS?
WHAT DO WE GOT?

OHH!

COME ON.

NO! SON OF A BITCH!

NO BICYCLE FOR YOU.

FIVE CRAB.

FIVE OF THEM LITTLE [BLEEP]

THAT WAS IT.

NOTHING HERE.
THERE AIN'T NOTHING HERE.

THAT SUCKS.

STRESSED AGAIN.

MORE STRESS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE EASY.
[ LAUGHS ]

KEITH COLBURN -- WIZARD.

THAT SON OF A BITCH
[BLEEP] ME OVER.

[ CHUCKLES ]

Narrator:
AS DUSK SETTLES IN...

...A RESCUE CALL ECHOES
ACROSS THE BERING SEA.

Bill: IT SOUNDED LIKE
THE GUY GOT SMASHED.

MAYBE A POT FELL OFF THE STACK
OR THE STRAP BROKE,

BUT IT DON'T SOUND GOOD.

Narrator: A DECKHAND SMASHED
BY A FALLING CRAB POT

SUFFERED A MASSIVE
BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA

AND REQUIRES
IMMEDIATE EVACUATION.

Elliott: ANYTIME A GUY GETS HIT
BY A POT, IT'S NOT GOOD.

I MEAN, A POT WEIGHS
700 TO 1,000 POUNDS.

AND IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF IT BARELY TOUCHES YOU,

THAT'S A LOT OF WEIGHT.

Narrator: A JAYHAWK MH-60
ARRIVES ON SCENE.

WITH CONDITIONS
DETERIORATING QUICKLY,

TIME IS CRITICAL.

A SAFETY LINE IS TETHERED
TO THE BOAT BELOW...

...COMPENSATING FOR THE 10-FOOT
SWELL AND 20-KNOT WINDS.

THE PILOT MUST SHADOW THE EXACT
SPEED AND PITCH OF THE BOAT

TO AVOID SNAPPING THE LINE
AND LOSING THE SWIMMER.

Narrator: 350 MILES SOUTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...THE COAST GUARD RUSHES
TO MEDEVAC AN INJURED DECKHAND

OFF A CRAB-FISHING VESSEL.

VETERAN SWIMMER PAUL MILLS

IS DANGLED 120 FEET
TO THE DECK BELOW.

THE JAYHAWK PULLS AWAY
FROM THE VESSEL

TO KEEP PROP WASH OFF THE DECK

WHILE THE SWIMMER SECURES
THE INJURED CREWMAN.

WITH SEVERE
NECK AND HEAD TRAUMA...

...THE COAST GUARD SETS
A COURSE

TO GET THE DECKHAND
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

260 MILES NORTH...

Sig: I HOPE WE COULD HIT
THE MOTHER LODE

RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE...

Narrator:
...ON THE NORTHWESTERN...

...SO WE CAN GET IN THERE AND
THEN GET BACK OUT FOR BAIRDI.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN NUDGES UP

TO THE FIRST POT
OF HIS NORTH GAMBLE.

CRABS ARE DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW
FEASTING, JUST NNNGH.

HOPEFULLY, WE HIT IT GOOD.

IF NOT, THEN WE GOT TO START
SEARCHING ALL OVER AGAIN,

PICK THEM ALL UP,
AND MOVE THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Sig: MAYBE THE CRAB WERE
ALL TO THE SOUTH THIS YEAR.

I DON'T KNOW.

WE'LL SEE.

WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO HAUL
OUR OFFICIAL FIRST STRING.

Sig:
OKAY, GUYS, FIRST POT COMING.

Jake: IT'S LIKE BUYING
A SCRATCH TICKET.

THAT'S THE FEELING RIGHT NOW,
YOU'RE SCRATCHING IT OFF.

YOU'RE HOPING
FOR THAT $2,000 PAYOFF.

QUICK GRAB. GET SOME.
YEAH!

KING CRAB?
YEAH!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

OKAY, MOMENT OF TRUTH.

YEAH?

ARE THEY BIG?

YEAH!

WHOO!

[ CHEERING ]

THEY'RE IN. YEAH!

[ LAUGHS ]

THEY'RE BIG, TOO.

Jake: THAT SCRATCH-OFF TICKET
WAS AMAZING.

GOOD NEWS IS MOST OF THE FLEET
IS SOUTH OF US DOWN HERE.

I MEAN, I DON'T SEE --
YOU SEE A POT?

I DON'T SEE A POT.
WHERE'S A POT?

[ LAUGHS ]

57!

WHOO! NICE!

LOOK AT THE NUMBER.
BEAUTIFUL.

[ LAUGHS ]

IF IT KEEPS GOING LIKE THAT,

WE'LL BE HOME BEFORE WE KNOW IT
AND HAVE A FAT WALLET.

Narrator:
AT $6.80 A POUND...

Sig:
THAT'S AMAZING.

...THE FIRST POT NETS THE BOAT
OVER 3 GRAND.

Sig: WE'RE ON THE CRAB.

THERE'S CRAB EVERYWHERE
AROUND US.

Narrator: WITH THE HONEY HOLE
ALL TO HIMSELF...

Sig: NOW IT'S LIKE,
"LET'S JUST GET IN HERE

BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE
FIGURES THIS OUT.

STAKE OUR CLAIM."

Narrator: ...THE CAPTAIN
SETS BACK ON HOT GROUNDS.

Sig: FREE-BAIT IT.
WE'LL...

ALTHOUGH I COULD GET CRAZY
ON THESE KIND OF NUMBERS.

YOU JUST GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

♪ WE'RE IN THE MONEY

Sig: THAT'S SO NICE.

YOU KNOW,
THESE CRAB MOVE FAST.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE GET ON THEM.

ONE THING I HAVE IN MY MIND

IS THAT VERY BIG QUOTA COMING UP
FOR BAIRDI AFTER KING CRAB.

EDGAR'S GONNA STEP
INTO THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIR,

AND HE'S GOT A LOT OF CRAB
TO CATCH.

SO WE'VE GOT TO PUT CRAB
IN THE TANK THAT MUCH QUICKER.

WE ARE GOING WITH AN EXTRA MAN.

THAT GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY
TO GO AROUND THE CLOCK.

Narrator: TO GET EDGAR
TO THE BAIRDI GROUNDS

IN TIME TO HIT IT BIG...

Sig: YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE'RE JUST GONNA GO
AROUND THE CLOCK.

YOU'LL JUST TURN MORE GEAR OVER
THAT MUCH FASTER.

OH [BLEEP]

THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO.

Narrator:
THERE WILL BE NO SLEEP

UNTIL THE TANKS ARE STUFFED
WITH RED CRAB.

NO PRESSURE OR NOTHING.

I REALLY HAVE AN OPTION,

AN OPPORTUNITY TO RUN THIS BOAT
FOR BAIRDI,

AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I CAN.

HONESTLY,
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN.

Narrator:
85 MILES SOUTHEAST...

...IN SAND POINT, ALASKA...

THIS IS OUR
HIGH-TOBACCO-CONSUMPTION DAY.

IT'S BEEN
A HIGH-TOBACCO-CONSUMPTION WEEK.

EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAVE WENT
WRONG HAS GONE WRONG RIGHT NOW.

NOW I'M COMING TO BACK
TO A BLOWN-UP BOAT.

IT'S JUST
[BLEEP] UNBELIEVABLE.

Narrator: OWNER JOSH HARRIS
ARRIVES FROM DUTCH

TO JOIN HIS STRANDED BOAT.

Josh:
ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER,

AND IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO BE
LIKE THERE'S ANY END IN SIGHT.

Narrator:
THE BLOWN ENGINE HAS KEPT

THE CORNELIA MARIE
TIED TO THE DOCK.

WHAT'S HAPPENING, BUD?

YOU WANT TO SEE
A [BLEEP] SHOW?

I'M ABOUT TO
SHOW YOU ONE.

WHAT'S UP, BROTHER?

GO BROKE
OR GET IT THIS TIME.

OH [BLEEP]

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED --

THE BOLTS
THAT COME THROUGH HERE

THAT DRIVE THE FUEL PUMP
THAT SITS RIGHT HERE,

THEY COME LOOSE.

THEN ONE AT A TIME, THEY WERE
ABLE TO SLIDE BACK AND FORTH

RATHER THAN BEING LOCKED IN
AND TIMED.

NOTHING $150,000
WON'T FIX.

EXPENSIVE OVERHAUL RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE REALLY [BLEEP]

Casey:
OKAY, SO HERE'S MY PLAN --

THE GUY DOWN AT THE SHOP

WAS TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF US
THIS MORNING,

AND
THE CELLPHONE SERVICE...

SUCKS.
...HERE IS JUST LOVELY.

SO HE ACTUALLY MADE
THE RIGHT DECISION.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

HE GOT AHEAD
OF THIS WEATHER.

THIS IS PROBABLY HIM.

THIS IS CASEY.

WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO DROP
THOSE OFF?

WE'LL TAKE IT.
ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.
BYE.

FOUR MINUTES,
WE SHOULD HAVE OUR PARTS.

PERFECT.

LET'S GET THEM TOGETHER
FOR A CHANGE.

YES!

Narrator:
AFTER A WEEK OF WAITING...

ALL RIGHT!

...CRUCIAL PARTS
TO FIX THE ENGINE

ARRIVE FROM THE LOWER 48.

WELL, THIS BOX SHOWED UP TO US
OPEN LIKE THIS.

I HOPE IT'S OKAY.

...GOING BACKWARDS.

WE CAN START PUTTING
AN ENGINE BACK TOGETHER.

[ SIGHS ]

Narrator:
CASEY GOT HIS SHIPMENT...

THEY'RE NOT [BLEEP] HERE.

WHAT?

THEY'RE NOT [BLEEP] HERE.

...BUT A CRITICAL PART
IS MISSING.

THE RINGS...

THE PISTON RINGS
ARE NOT HERE.

[BLEEP]

THEY'RE NOT HERE.

THAT IS...UNFORTUNATE.

WE CAN'T MAKE A SINGLE STEP
IN THE RIGHT [BLEEP] DIRECTION

FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

Narrator:
WITHOUT THE $150 PISTON RINGS,

THE CORNELIA MARIE REMAINS STUCK
AT DOCK

WHILE THE FLEET FISHES ON.

Casey: WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE
FOR AT LEAST A FEW DAYS NOW.

THE PART THAT HURTS THE MOST

IS IT'S LITERALLY ONLY
GONNA TAKE TWO HOURS.

WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE
WITHOUT THE RINGS.

IT'S [BLEEP]
UNBELIEVABLE.

WHY DON'T WE GET OUR BOY
TO MAKE THOSE PHONE CALLS

AND SEE WHERE WE END UP?

IT'S JUST SAD, YOU KNOW,
TO THINK...

YEAH.

HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY
FROM THE GROUNDS.

MY NUTS FEEL LIKE
A [BLEEP] PUNCHING BAG.

AND THERE'S A LITTLE CLOWN --

A LITTLE SPEED BAG,

AND A LITTLE CLOWN IS JUST

DA-DA-DA-DA DA-DA-DA-DA
DA-DA-DA-DA.

YOU KNOW?
[BLEEP]

Narrator: 170 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...ON THE TIME BANDIT...

OH.

Johnathan:
OH, COME ON.

PBHT! PBHT!

NEXT!

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND

IS THREE DAYS
INTO A COLD STREAK.

BOO HOO.

CAN'T CALL MY MAMA.

I CAN'T CRY.

CALLING ALL CRABS.

PLEASE REPORT
TO THE CRAB BOX.

WE'LL STACK THAT ONE.

IF IT'S NOT HALF-FULL,
I'M NOT DUMPING IT BACK.

TRY TO FIND ANOTHER HOME.

IT'S BEEN A CONSTANT BATTLE,

FLAILING AND FIGHTING
AND KICKING

AND BITING AND SCRATCHING.

I NEED TO CATCH CRAB.
I NEED TO PRODUCE.

I SEE TWO BOATS ABOUT SIX MILES
UP TO THE NORTHEAST

AND SIX MILES
UP TO THE NORTHWEST.

THAT MIGHT BE KEITH
RIGHT OVER THERE.

IT'D BE NICE TO KNOW
WHAT HE KNOWS.

TELL ME WHAT YOU GOT.

SHOW ME YOURS,
I'LL SHOW YOU MINE.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator:
JUST SIX MILES NORTHWEST

ON THE WIZARD...

GIVE IT TO ME, BABY!

...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN'S
HOT SPOT...

YEAH, BABY!

...CONTINUES TO PAY OFF.

OOCH, OOCH, OOCH!

YEAH, BABY! BIG ONES!

THAT'S REALLY GOOD FISHING.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS A GUY
I USED TO WORK WITH

CAME IN HERE
JUST IN THE LAST 12 HOURS

AND WENT --
SET 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 STRINGS.

Narrator: THE SAME BOAT
THAT TOOK HALF KEITH'S QUOTA

AT THE START OF THE SEASON...

IF THERE'S ONE GUY
IN THE BERING SEA

I'D LOVE TO SEE
NOT CATCH ANY CRAB,

IT'S THE GUY
THAT I USED TO WORK WITH.

Narrator: ...IS NOW SETTING
STRINGS IN HIS TERRITORY.

THERE HE IS PUTTING A GRID ON
THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, WHICH --

[ SIGHS ]

THERE'S NO REASON TO SHARE IT
WITH A DOUCHEBAG.

Narrator:
WITH ALL HIS POTS FISHING,

KEITH CAN'T SET
ANY DEFENSIVE STRINGS.

ALL RIGHT, I'VE HAD IT
WITH THIS [BLEEP] ASS.

I KNOW JOHN'S GOT GEAR
RIGHT NEAR HERE.

I THINK THAT GUY RIGHT THERE
IS JOHNATHAN.

I'M GONNA PROBABLY BRING HIM UP,

HAVE HIM SET RIGHT UP THROUGH
OUR GEAR RIGHT HERE.

Narrator: KEITH'S PLAN
IS TO USE JOHNATHAN'S POTS

TO KEEP HIS EX-PARTNER
OFF THE CRAB.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ASKING
JOHN HILLSTRAND FOR HELP.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.

Narrator:
OVER THE YEARS,

THE WORK RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN KEITH AND JOHN...

TRY TO STEAL
MY CREW MEMBER.

[BLEEP] YOU.
I DON'T WANT --

YOU'RE AN EVIL [BLEEP]

ONE OF YOUR CREW WENT
LAST YEAR,

AND HE COULDN'T KEEP UP
ON MY BOAT.

...HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN CHUMMY.

DON'T [BLEEP] GO DOWN ON ME
FOR THAT.

Man:
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

DON'T PRETEND TO BE
MY [BLEEP] FRIEND, OKAY?

DON'T EVEN [BLEEP] CALL
MY BOAT

UNLESS
YOU'RE [BLEEP] SINKING.

Keith: BAD BLOOD IS LONG SINCE
UNDER THE BRIDGE.

THAT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO.

JOHN AND I HAVE BECOME
REALLY GOOD FRIENDS

IN THE LAST THREE YEARS.

TIME TO BRING IN A PARTNER.

GAME ON, BABY.

[ RINGING ]

[ BEEP ]

PIZZA HUT DELIVERY.

HELLO, JOHNATHAN.

HEY, WHAT'S UP, KEITH?

NOT MUCH.

I SEE YOU JUST RIGHT DOWN THERE
ON THE SIDE OF ME THERE.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING,

BUT WE'RE GETTING
SOME PRETTY DECENT NUMBERS.

BUT I GOT A GUY WORKING IN THE
AREA THAT I DON'T LIKE ONE BIT.

YEAH,
I SEEN HIM DRIFTING THERE.

THE MAIN THING, JOHN,
IS THIS --

I'M WONDERING
IF YOU CAN COME TO US

TO FORM AN ALLIANCE.

I JUST WANT TO
SCOOP THIS CRAB UP

AND GET IT IN MY GEAR
AND YOUR GEAR

BEFORE THAT OTHER BOAT
THAT'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

CATCHES ANY CRAB.

THAT WOULD BE
THE SWEETEST DEAL EVER

'CAUSE THIS IS
MORE LIKE PAYBACK.

OH, MAN.

OUCH.

OKAY, YEAH.

OKAY,
AS LONG AS THERE'S CRAB.

NO BLANKS.

ABSOLUTELY.

I'LL BRING
THE 220 POT STRINGS OVER

AND BLOCK THAT GUY FOR YOU.

THIS MIGHT BE
A GOOD PARTNERSHIP HERE.

SO, CODE NAME...

CODE NAME ROAD RUNNER.

WILE E. COYOTE.

[ LAUGHS ]

DON'T DROP AN ANVIL
ON ME.

ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, MAN.

YEAH [ LAUGHS ]
BEEP-BEEP.

VERY UNLIKELY MATCH --
ME AND COLBURN.

COULD BE REALLY BAD,
COULD BE REALLY GOOD.

I NEVER USUALLY DO THIS,
BUT I'M GONNA GIVE HER A TRY.

IF WE CAN BOTH GET ON THE CRAB
AND STAY ON THE CRAB,

THAT'S THE NAME OF THE GAME
RIGHT NOW.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.

Narrator:
75 MILES NORTHEAST...

...ON THE 108-FOOT
CAPE CAUTION...

YEAH!

WHOO!

Bill: I SEE LOTS OF KEEPER
WHITE-BELLIES IN THERE.

Narrator: ...15 POTS
INTO HIS FIRST HAUL...

WATCH OUT!

...CAPTAIN "WILD" BILL
WICHROWSKI IS ON BIG CRAB...

WHOO!

Bill: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WATCH YOUR BACK.

WHOO!

Narrator:
...AND EVEN BIGGER SEAS.

BE REAL CAREFUL.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE WATER.

DON'T TURN YOUR BACK.

Nick:
SOME WEATHER'S COME UP.

BERING SEA DECIDED TO GET
A LITTLE BIT PISSED OFF

RIGHT NOW.

WE GOT 71 POTS DOWN HERE
TO THE SOUTH.

WE GOT SOME SNOW SQUALLS,
WHICH IS AWESOME FOR VISIBILITY.

BUT IT'S BEEN A GOOD START.

Narrator:
BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON

IS "WILD" BILL'S SON
AND ENGINEER ZACK LARSON.

Bill: YOU KNOW,
I WANT THE BEST FOR ZACK.

I'VE PUSHED HIM
TO MOVE UP THE LADDER

AND TRIED TO GIVE HIM
THE RESPONSIBILITY

TO BE AN ENGINEER.

IT FEELS GOOD RIGHT NOW.

WITH ZACK AND NICK HERE,

THEY'RE WORKING PRETTY GOOD
TOGETHER.

WE'VE GOT ONE BRAND-NEW GUY
AND ONE SEMI-NEW GUY.

I THINK THE CREW'S COMING
TOGETHER PRETTY WELL, ACTUALLY.

IT'S KIND OF A NICE CHANGE.

YEAH, BABY!

I FEEL GOOD.

I KNEW THAT I WOULD.

[ ALARM BLARING ]

PORT MAIN OIL PRESSURE.

ROGER.

Narrator: AN OIL FILTER
HAS FAILED IN THE PORT ENGINE

WHICH CONTROLS
HALF THE SHIP'S STEERING.

Bill:
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

DO IT. GO.

Narrator: BEFORE REPLACING
THE OIL FILTER,

ZACK WILL HAVE TO SHUT DOWN
ONE OF THE MAIN ENGINES.

STARBOARD ENGINE WILL TURN
TO STARBOARD PRETTY GOOD,

BUT IT WON'T TURN TO PORT
FOR [BLEEP] SOMEHOW.

I'M JUST TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE
BOAT SO WE DON'T GET THRASHED.

TRYING TO KEEP IT INTO
THE WEATHER WITH ONE ENGINE,

WHICH...

Narrator: WITH ONLY HALF
HIS STEERING POWER...

WE'RE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION,
BUDDY.

Narrator: ..."WILD" BILL
STRUGGLES TO CONTROL

THE 169-TON VESSEL
IN 20-FOOT SEAS.

1,225 RPMs ON THE MAIN ENGINE,

AND I'M NOT EVEN STAYING
IN THE SAME SPOT.

I'M GETTING SHOVED
DOWN THE HILL.

[BLEEP]

OH, NO.

WE'RE GETTING [BLEEP] SIDEWAYS
HERE.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

COME ON, YOU [BLEEP]

GIVE ME AN ENGINE.

Narrator: 232 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...ON THE CAPE CAUTION...

WE'VE GOT PROBABLY
45-, 50-KNOT WINDS.

AND RIGHT NOW,
I'VE GOT ONE ENGINE RUNNING.

Narrator:
...A RUPTURED OIL FILTER

HAS SHUT DOWN
THE PORT MAIN ENGINE,

FORCING "WILD" BILL
TO NAVIGATE THE SWELL

WITH HALF HIS MANEUVERABILITY.

IN HEAVY SEAS,

THIS NORMALLY EASY REPAIR
HAS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE.

HEY, NICK,
USE THE ONE-GALLON JUG.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE [BLEEP]
IS TAKING SO LONG.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
GOING WRONG,

SOMEBODY SHOULD BE
LETTING ME KNOW.

COME HERE A SECOND, MYLES.

SO, THE OIL FILTER?

THE GASKET RUPTURED
IN THE OIL FILTER?

YEAH.
WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG

TO PUT AN OIL FILTER ON
AND PUT OIL IN AN ENGINE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
YOU'RE NOT SURE?

ALL IT IS
IS SPIN AN OIL FILTER OFF

AND PUT ANOTHER ON
AND PUT OIL IN IT.

WHAT THE [BLEEP]
IS TAKING SO LONG?

IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE
FILTER HOUSING ITSELF, OR WHAT?

YOU DON'T KNOW [BLEEP]
DO YOU?

GET THE [BLEEP] OUT OF HERE.

THAT WENT WELL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.

OH.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

OH, MAN. FINALLY.

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]

WE SEEM TO BE
BACK IN BUSINESS HERE.

I'VE GOT PROPULSION TO GET BACK
TO THE STRING ANYWAY, SO...

ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS, I'M NOT
QUITE SURE WHAT THE HOLDUP,

WHAT THE DILEMMA WAS,

BUT BACK TO THE GEAR
AND HAUL GEAR.

LET'S GO MAKE SOME MONEY.

WE'RE GONNA GET THEM.

AT LEAST IT WASN'T,
LIKE, CATASTROPHE.

AND I'M STILL SHAKING.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S SHAKING?
I'M SHAKING.

YEAH!

WHOO!

WHOO!

I PICKED A HELL OF DAY
TO QUIT SNIFFING GLUE.

Narrator:
15 MILES NORTH...

Sig:
[BLEEP] DAMN IT!

Narrator: ...THE SUN RISES
ON THE NORTHWESTERN.

WHAT?!

5-0, 50.

JUST TALK
LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING,

NOT LIKE
THE [BLEEP] GREEN GIANT.

BUT THAT'S GOOD.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE EXCITED.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN AND CREW

HAVE BEEN GRINDING NONSTOP

SINCE PULLING THEIR FIRST POT
36 HOURS AGO.

THIS 24-HOUR BUSINESS
IS ACTUALLY PAYING OFF.

STILL ROLLING
LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN.

Sig: AND WE DECIDED TO DO
THE 24-HOUR ROTATION.

IT JUST MADE SENSE
FOR THIS SEASON,

AND EVERYBODY'S HAD
THEIR ROTATION IN THEIR BUNK.

Edgar: BEEN GRINDING
FOR TWO DAYS NOW.

A LITTLE SORE.

Narrator:
FOR DECK BOSS EDGAR HANSEN,

IT'S NOT JUST
THE BRUTAL HOURS...

ALL I CAN REALLY DO
IS PULL HANDLES,

NO LIFTING, NO SHOTS,
NO HOOK THROWING.

Narrator:
...IT'S HIS DETERIORATING BACK.

YOU JUST GOT TO DEAL WITH IT,
MAN.

MAKE DO AND GET BY.

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GONNA DO,
YOU KNOW?

AT LEAST WE'RE GETTING
THE BOAT FULL.

PRETTY QUICK, TOO.

Narrator:
THE TANKS ARE FILLING UP...

[ GROANS ]

Narrator: ...BUT THE CAPTAIN
IS RUNNING ON EMPTY.

I HAVEN'T BEEN TO BED
SINCE YESTERDAY MORNING.

OR SOMETIME.
I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S WELL OVER 36 HOURS NOW.

HOW'S CAPTAIN SIG DOING?

IS HE GETTING A LITTLE...
[ WHISTLES ]

SIG'S A LITTLE TIRED.

I HEARD HIM ON THE LOUD GOING,
"RRR-RRR-RRR..."

I WAS LIKE, "WHAT?"

FISHING'S BEEN PHENOMENAL,
AND YOU GET FOCUSED.

AND WHEN YOU'RE FOCUSED,
YOU CAN STAY AWAKE.

Edgar:
HE'S BEEN UP FOR A LONG TIME.

WE'VE ALL ALREADY GONE THROUGH
A WHOLE ROTATION.

AND I THINK HE WAS UP BEFORE
WE EVEN STARTED THE ROTATION.

SO HE'S PROBABLY LOOKING
AT A GOOD 30 HOURS.

HE'S GONNA BE UP FOR ANOTHER 12
'CAUSE IT'S DAYLIGHT NOW.

Sig: WHAT THE [BLEEP]
IS GOING ON HERE?

Narrator:
AND THE LAST THING

THE EXHAUSTED SKIPPER
WANTS TO SEE...

...THE FLEET MOVING IN.

YEAH, THERE'S MORE BOATS
MOVING UP THE LINE HERE.

I THINK HE MAY BE SETTING.

KEEP GOING, BITCH.

WE ARE ON CRAB.

BOATS ARE DEFINITELY
MOVING IN.

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP
WHAT YOU FOUND,

YOU GOT TO BE AGGRESSIVE.

I'M GOING AROUND THE CLOCK.

I DON'T [BLEEP] CARE.

Narrator: WITH THE FLEET RACING
FOR A NEW FORTUNE

ON THE BAIRDI GROUNDS,

THE CORNELIA MARIE REMAINS
IN THE STARTING BLOCK.

WE HAVE
THIS PIRATE GOBLET,

AND WE FILL IT FULL
OF COD BLOOD.

AND WE MAKE OUR GREENHORN
DRINK IT.

LET'S GO GET HIM.

DAN THE MAN!

Bill: THEY GOT
THE PIRATE GOBLET.

UGH.

HEY, DAN, THIS IS PART OF
THE INITIATION.

YOU'RE UP NEXT.

GONNA GO WITH COD.

THIS IS A FINE
BERING SEA VINTAGE.

OH, LOOK AT THAT.
THAT'S A BLEEDER.

STARTS TO THICKEN UP,
SO...

ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, DUDE.

ALL RIGHT, WELCOME
TO THE CAPE CAUTION, BUDDY!

TAKE IT ALL.
TAKE IT ALL.

HEY, GET YOU SOME.

YEAH, DAN!

[ GARGLES ]

[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH!

I'M ABOUT READY TO HURL.

WE'RE GONNA CATCH
SOME CRAB NOW. WHOO!

Narrator: 170 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

Keith: HERE COMES JOHNATHAN.
HE'S GOT GEAR ON.

LOOKS LIKE THE ROAD RUNNER'S
BACK IN TOWN.

Narrator: JOHNATHAN AND KEITH
PULL THE TRIGGER

ON AN UNLIKELY ALLIANCE.

GETTING READY TO SET
RIGHT NOW.

WE'LL BE DROPPING THE ANVIL
ON OUR NEMESIS.

BEEP-BEEP.

BEEP-BEEP.

BUDDYING UP WITH KEITH COLBURN
AND THE GUYS ON THE WIZARD.

IT'S AN UNLIKELY PAIR,

BUT STRANGER THINGS
HAVE HAPPENED.

AND HOPEFULLY SEW IT UP

BEFORE THE REST OF THESE
BIG BOATS GET IN THERE.

Narrator:
WITH RIVAL BOATS MOVING IN,

THE WIZARD AND THE TIME BANDIT
JOIN FORCES TO BLOCK THEM OUT.

RIGHT THERE,

THAT'S THE BOAT WE'VE BEEN
TRYING TO LITERALLY CORK OFF.

I'M PRETTY SURE

THIS VEIN OF CRABS RUNS
RIGHT HERE LIKE THIS,

AND THAT'S WHERE
JOHNATHAN'S SETTING --

RIGHT THERE AND THERE.

WE JUST PUT A ROADBLOCK
IN FRONT OF HIM.

GO GET HIM, JOHNNY BOY.

Johnathan:
I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.

I'M PUTTING A LOT OF TRUST
IN KEITH.

HE THINKS THERE'S ENOUGH CRAB
FOR BOTH OF US

TO GET WHAT WE NEED
TO GET OUT OF THIS.

BUT HE IS A CUTTHROAT CAPTAIN,

AND HE'S GONNA MAKE SURE
HE GETS HIS CRAB.

IN THE OLD DAYS,
ME AND KEITH DID NOT GET ALONG.

THIS WILL BE THE ULTIMATE TEST
IF WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.

I HOPE TO GOD IT WORKS OUT

AND WE DON'T START
WORLD WAR III.

ONCE YOU THINK
YOU HAVE IT FIGURED OUT,

IT'LL BITE YOU IN THE ASS.

Narrator:
80 MILES DUE NORTH...

YEAH!
WOW.

WHOO!

OH, MY GOD!
[ LAUGHS ]

BUT THE POTS
HAVE BEEN COMING UP.

BOOM!

FULL, FULL, FULL.

NOW, THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING.

Narrator: THE NORTHWESTERN
HAS FISHED FOR TWO DAYS NONSTOP

TO STUFF THEIR TANKS
BEFORE THE FLEET MOVES IN.

Sig: GUYS ARE MOVING UP, THOUGH.
THAT'S THE THING.

I SEE BOATS COMING UP
ALL THE TIME.

UGH. OOH.

WHEN WE SET THIS STRING,
IT WAS CLEAR AS A BELL.

AND TODAY, IT'S JUST
CRISSCROSSED WITH GEAR.

ABOUT 22 BOATS ON 12 MILES.
THAT'S A LOT OF BOATS.

SEND IT WHEN YOU'RE READY.

STAKE OUR CLAIM, YOU KNOW?

Sig: WE WANT TO GO IN WITH
THE BOAT FULL TO SAVE TIME,

AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT
IS TO PULL GEAR.

THE ONLY WAY I CAN DO THAT

IS TO STAY AWAKE
AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

Narrator:
CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN LANDED
ON THE CRAB 48 HOURS AGO...

[ LAUGHS ]

SIGGY!

YAY FOR SIGGY!

...HE'S BEEN AWAKE EVER SINCE.

Sig:
I WANT THOSE CRAB.

I WANT THIS BOAT FULL.

IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE.

Jake: I'M OKAY.

I'M NOT AS OKAY
AS THAT GUY UP THERE,

WHO'S BEEN UP FOR ABOUT 48.

AND THAT'S REALLY HARD
TO BE UP IN THE WHEELHOUSE

'CAUSE YOU'RE JUST
SITTING THERE, IT'S WARM.

[ YAWNING ]

AND YOU'RE JUST STAYING AWAKE.

THAT'S ALL YOU'RE DOING,
YOU KNOW?

Sig:
FILL THIS [BLEEP] BOAT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

[ BEEP ]

IT'S OUR LAST POT
IN THIS STRING.

Narrator:
BETWEEN STRINGS...

OH, MY GOD.

I'M TOO OLD
FOR THIS [BLEEP]

...THE CREW WILL GET
A FIVE-MINUTE BREATHER...

I DON'T NEED THAT NAP.

Narrator: ...BUT THE CAPTAIN
POWERS THROUGH.

Matt: SIG HAS GOT CRAB FEVER
RIGHT NOW.

HE'S GONE PSYCHO.

THESE 9 POTS
SAYING 56 PLUS 12.

OOH, EEE, EEE.

[ SEAGULLS CALLING ]

SAY "UNCLE" YET?

HUH?

DID YOU SAY "UNCLE" YET?

NO.

JUST WAITING FOR IT.

DID YOU GO PAST IT?

WHERE THE [BLEEP] IS IT?

[BLEEP]
IT'S A MILE.

I SAID,
"DID YOU SAY 'UNCLE' YET?"

HE GOES, "UH, I WAS JUST WAITING
FOR YOU GUYS."

WHICH WAY DID HE TURN?

ANYWAY, YOUR STRING'S
A MILE BEHIND YOU.

HUH? HUH?

[ BEEP ]

ALL RIGHT, EDGAR, YOU WIN.

I THINK I'M STARTING --
I'M STARTING TO ZONK.

Nick: YEAH.
SIG SAID "UNCLE".

I KNEW IT WOULD COME.

YOU CAN ONLY DO IT
FOR SO LONG.

I DON'T SEE THE NEXT POT.

Narrator: AFTER TWO
STRAIGHT DAYS AT THE HELM...

TAKE IT.

Narrator: ...THE CAPTAIN
FINALLY GIVES UP HIS CHAIR.

ALL RIGHT, CALL ME
IF THERE'S ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
SLEEPING BEAUTY'S GOING TO BED.

I GOT THAT LITTLE DOG-LEG LEFT
AND THEN THE COD PODS.

SIG FINALLY CALLED IT.

48 HOURS WAS ENOUGH FOR HIM.

Edgar:
THIS PAIN HAS BEEN HAUNTING ME.

I MAY END UP GOING HOME
FOR ALL I KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

IF THIS IS GONNA KEEP GOING ON,

THIS IS GONNA BE
A LONG FREAKIN' SEASON.

Josh: I'VE [BLEEP] PUT
EVERY [BLEEP] PENNY I'VE GOT

INTO THIS [BLEEP] BOAT.

I FIGHT FOR YOU GUYS.

I FIGHT FOR RESPECT.

I'M NOT [BLEEP] HAPPY.

Reporter:
SUPER-TYPHOON NURI.

THE STRONGEST STORM EVER
TO HIT THIS PART OF THE U.S.

[BLEEP] YOU, DUDE.
I ALMOST WENT OVER.

AMY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

YOU'RE [BLEEP] KIDDING.

OHH!

AAH!
OH, MY GOD.

LOWER TWO VERTEBRAE IN MY NECK

ARE [BLEEP] GRINDING TOGETHER.

ELLIOTT'S GONNA LOSE
EVERYTHING HE'S GOT

IF HE DOESN'T GET
HIS [BLEEP] TOGETHER.

GET THAT [BLEEP] THING
OUT OF MY FACE.

HANG ON
'CAUSE IT'S COMING.

[ CRYING ]

YES.
TELL HIM, "DON'T GO!"

[ LAUGHS ]
