Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 13 - 5-Year Storm: Part 2 - full transcript

[ WIND HOWLING ]

Sig: STARTING TO GET NAUTICAL
OUT HERE.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST
DIFFERENT LAYERS OF MISERY.

WHOA, WATCH OUT!
HOLY [BLEEP]

Man: WHOA, WATCH OUT!
WATCH OUT!

Bill: IF IT GETS UGLY,

I'M NOT GONNA PUT THE BOAT
AT RISK.

DEFINITELY NOT THE CREW.

Jake: I JUST --
I'M WORRIED ABOUT THEM.

Ray: YOU GOT TO QUIT WORRYING
ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT,

BUT DO WORRY ABOUT
WHAT THEY NEED.



OH, MY GOD. [BLEEP]

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Ray: OH, GOD.

CLOSE ONE, DUDE.

DAMN!

WHAT THE [BLEEP]

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

Man:
JAKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

JAKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

WE JUST TOOK A BIG WAVE
OVER THE PORT SIDE.

Narrator: JUST SECONDS APART,

TWO 40-FOOT WAVES BROKE
OVER THE DECK OF THE SAGA.

Jake: OH, GOD, YOU GUYS.

OH, GOD, YOU GUYS.
OH, GOD.



Narrator: THE FIRST SUBMERGED
THE STARBOARD RAIL

JUST AS THE SECOND WAVE HIT,
NEARLY CAPSIZING THE BOAT.

Nick: WOW.

I'VE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN
TO ME BEFORE.

MIKEY, NICK, AND BRANDON
WERE [BLEEP] SWIMMING.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM,
DUDE?

HEY, I --
THE ONLY THING I --

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

I KNOW, THE ONLY THING
I COULD DO IS --

NO, YOU DON'T KNOW!
YES, I DO KNOW.

[BLEEP] YOU, DUDE.

SHUT 'ER DOWN
OR TAKE ME INTO TOWN.

ALL I COULD DO IS --

IT'S NOT WORTH [BLEEP]
KILLING SOMEBODY OVER.

YEAH, NO, THAT WAS [BLEEP] UP,
DUDE.

THERE'S NO REASON.

I'M A 6-FOOT MAN,
AND IT'S OVER MY HEAD.

YOU --

I DON'T MEAN TO YELL.
I'M SORRY.

I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT,
BUT [BLEEP]

THAT WAS [BLEEP] UP, DUDE.

I'M STILL SHAKING, TOO.
BUT LISTEN.

WHEN IT CAME,
THE ONLY THING I COULD DO

IS [BLEEP] NAIL HER IN REVERSE
AS HARD AS I COULD.

AND THERE --
THAT'S A ROGUE WAVE.

THERE'S BEEN NOTHING
LIKE THAT

[BLEEP] COME
ONTO THE BOAT TODAY.

I'M SORRY FOR YELLING.

NOT [BLEEP]
DESERVES [BLEEP]

THAT SCARED THE [BLEEP]
OUT OF ME.

THAT WAS [BLEEP] HORRIBLE.
THAT WAS [BLEEP] CLOSE.

[BLEEP]

IF ANYTHING HAPPENED
TO ANYBODY,

I'D BE [BLEEP] SICK
TO MY STOMACH.

IT'D BE THE END
OF MY CAREER.

I KNOW.
I KNOW.

I MEAN, THERE WASN'T EVEN TIME
TO [BLEEP] TRY AND DO

THE STEADY BEEP THAT
WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW?

I KNOW.
I WAS AT THE BLOCK.

I DIDN'T SEE IT,
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN [BLEEP]

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

IT WAS BARELY --
IT WASN'T IN THE TROUGH.

IT WAS JUST [BLEEP]
BARELY ON MY PORT.

THEM PISSED AT RAY --

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REALLY SURE

THAT THERE'S ANYTHING
HE COULD DO,

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE EXPECTING
A LITTLE BIT OF A WARNING

OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?

Jake: IT STACKED UP
RIGHT IN FRONT OF BOTH OF US.

I MEAN, THERE WAS NO TIME
TO EVEN TELL ANYBODY.

I WENT TO GO DUMP
THE CRAB TOTE...

Man: OHH!

...I WAS LITERALLY SWIMMING.

A WAVE LIKE THAT, YOU GOT
TO HEAR A WARNING OR SOMETHING

SO YOU CAN, LIKE,
DUCK FOR COVER.

SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN
SERIOUSLY HURT

FROM SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THING
I'VE EVER SEEN.

I'VE TAKEN BIG WAVES WHEN I'VE
BEEN ON DECK LIKE THAT BEFORE,

BUT I NEVER BEEN UP HERE
AND SEEN IT.

Man: YEAH.

NO.
I DON'T, EITHER.

YOU GOT FIRST WATCH.

Narrator:
DESPITE THE STORM...

I'LL BE OUT THERE
IN A SECOND.

...THE CREW MUST SECURE THE DECK
OR RISK FURTHER DAMAGE.

THAT WAS
A LITTLE TOO CLOSE FOR ME.

I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE
GOING OUTSIDE NOW,

SO I'M JUST GONNA LAY RIGHT HERE
FOR A WHILE.

I'M SCARED [BLEEP] NOW.

I -- I HAD JUST TODAY
GAINED CONFIDENCE

ABOUT RUNNING THE BOAT
IN HIGH SEAS.

Narrator: FOR JAKE,

THE EXCITEMENT
OF HIS FIRST TRIP AT THE HELM

HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE.

I JUST WANT SOMEBODY ELSE
TO SIT IN THIS CHAIR RIGHT NOW

SO I CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE,
ANYWHERE ELSE.

RIGHT NOW, THE GUYS
ARE BUTTONING UP EVERYTHING,

AND I DON'T EVEN
WANT THEM OUTSIDE.

LIKE THAT, SEE?

I DON'T WANT TO KILL ANYBODY.

[ WAVES CRASHING ]

MAN, WE'RE DONE TONIGHT, MAN.

NO MORE.

BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
NOBODY GOT WASHED OFF DECK.

I'M SCARED.

I'M SURE THEY'RE SCARED.

AND NOW THEY'VE GOT ME UP HERE,
TOO, NOW.

IF THE PROFESSIONAL TOOK ONE,
WHAT'S THE NEW GUY GONNA DO?

Narrator: WHILE THE ROOKIE
CAPTAIN SHUTS DOWN,

20 MILES SOUTHEAST...

ON THE 113-FOOT TIME BANDIT...

WE KNEW THIS WEATHER WAS COMING.

NOW IT'S BLOWING NORTHEAST,
35-, 20-FOOT SEAS.

Narrator: ...VETERAN SKIPPER
ANDY HILLSTRAND

CONTINUES TO FISH
IN THE BRUNT OF THE STORM.

Andy: OH, BOY.

Johnathan:
IF IT BLOWS HORRIBLY AGAIN,

IT'S GONNA BE A BIG, WHITE BOAT
INSTEAD OF A BLACK BOAT.

'CAUSE WE'LL HAVE ICE
ALL OVER IT.

Man: WAVE!

WEATHER FREAKED OUT
PRETTY NICE.

Andy:
IT'S REALLY NAUTICAL OUT.

REALLY DANGEROUS FOR THESE GUYS,

BUT THIS MACHINE'S
JUST NOT GONNA STOP.

IF WE FIND SOME CRAB,

WE'RE GONNA START DIALING
OUR GEAR IN ON THE CRAB,

SO HERE WE GO.

Man: HEADS UP!

OHH!

OH, YEAH, BIG WAVE
JUST TOOK THEM DOWN.

WHOO! [ LAUGHS ]

THERE'S JUST NO QUIT
IN THESE GUYS.

THESE GUYS ARE ALL BIG BOYS
WITH THEIR BIG-BOY PANTS ON.

Man: WHOO!

I'LL TAKE THAT ALL DAY LONG.

Narrator: DESPITE 56-KNOT WINDS
AND 30-FOOT SEAS...

WE'RE GONNA SET IT BACK.

JUST GO AHEAD AND BAIT IT UP.

SHOVE THOSE BAGS FULL.

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN ANDY

IS NOT ABOUT TO LET A LITTLE
BAD WEATHER GET IN HIS WAY.

Andy:
THEY GOT TO TAKE THEIR TIME.

WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT NOTHING.

I BEEN DOING THIS FOR 34 YEARS.

I'M A 51-YEAR-OLD BADASS
ON THE BERING SEA.

I'LL KEEP PULLING CRAB POTS

TILL MY FINGERS, MY TOES,
MY LEGS, NOTHING WORKS ANYMORE.

WE'RE FINALLY GETTING ON
SOME GOOD NUMBERS.

GIVE ME A COUNT.

290s.

295.

GO, ANDY, GO.
WATCH HIM GO.

GO, ANDY, GO.

Eddie Jr.:
SEEMS LIKE IT'S GETTING
A LOT ROUGHER, A LOT WINDIER.

IT'S GETTING [BLEEP] OUT.

MAKE THAT MONEY!

MAKE THAT MONEY!

Andy: VERY NAUTICAL OUT.

BUT NO MATTER WHAT,

WE'RE PUTTING CRAB
DOWN THE TANK.

YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW
WE'RE NOT STOPPING.

Ian:
IT FREAKS ME OUT A LITTLE BIT.

IF YOU'RE NOT
A LITTLE BIT FREAKED OUT,

THEN YOU'RE JUST DUMB.

I'M NOT SCARED.
I'M EXCITED.

OH!

HOOK SHOT!

OH!

WHOA.

MY GOD.

YEAH!

Andy: BARELY DOING 5 KNOTS,
I'M TAKING WATER OVER THE BOW,

SO THAT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS.

YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO HAVE EYES
IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD.

YOU COULD ALMOST HEAR
THE OCEAN COMING AT YOU.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD!
AAAH! [BLEEP]

NO!

Narrator: ON THE TIME BANDIT...

Man: OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD!
AAAH! [BLEEP]

NO!

GOT A GUY CAUGHT UP!

[BLEEP]

WE GOT A MAN DOWN!

MAKE HIM LAY FLAT.
MAKE HIM LAY FLAT.

YOU OKAY?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

...IF HE'S ALL [BLEEP] UP.

DON'T MOVE.
DON'T MOVE.

CAN YOU TRY TO GET UP?
OKAY.

TRY TO CALM DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HIM?

I CAN'T HEAR YOU GUYS.

SOMEONE TALK TO ME
IN THAT THING.

HIS LEG GOT CAUGHT
UNDER THE LAUNCHER!

CALM DOWN.

Narrator: SLAMMED TO THE DECK
BY A 15-FOOT WAVE,

24-YEAR-OLD KYLE DYERLY
GOT CAUGHT IN THE LINES

AND NEARLY PULLED OVERBOARD
BY AN 800-POUND POT.

FAST ACTION BY DECKHAND
EDDIE UWEKOOLANI JR.

SAVED HIM FROM BEING PULLED
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

YOU HAD THAT BIGHT AROUND
YOUR LEG, DUDE.

NO, HE WENT
UNDER THE LAUNCHER, TOO.

DURING HIS FALL,

KYLE'S LEG WAS ALSO PINNED
UNDER THE 2,000-POUND LAUNCHER.

HE THINKS
IT MIGHT BE BROKEN.

WRAPPED.
YEAH.

BRING HIM BACK HERE
IF YOU CAN.

[ GRUNTS ]

WHERE YOU GUYS
WANT TO GO?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

ALL RIGHT.

JUST RELAX FOR A SEC,
CHECK IT OUT.

Andy: JUST CHILL OUT.
WE NEED TO SEE WHERE YOU GOT IT.

YEAH.
BE EASY WITH HIS LEG THERE.

IT'S BRUISED.

THE BRUISE
IS ON THIS SIDE.

IS THAT WHERE IT HURTS?

IT'S UP MORE?
Kyle: OH, RIGHT THERE.

RIGHT THERE, OKAY.

WE MIGHT HAVE TO
TAKE YOU TO TOWN.

WE'LL JUST WATCH YOU.

CHILL OUT.

LET'S GO OUT.
GET SOME WORK DONE HERE.

Andy:
WE'RE GONNA WATCH IT.

YELL AT ME OR EDDIE
IF SOMETHING FEELS WEIRD.

Andy:
OH, I FEEL SICK.

THE LAST THING
WE NEED IS [BLEEP]

YEAH, NO [BLEEP]

WELL, HE SAID THAT
HE COULD GO BACK TO WORK.

WELL, WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT HIM
BACK TO WORK.

NO, WE'RE NOT.
NO, I TOLD HIM.

OKAY, GUYS, UM...

LET'S REGROUP.

I'LL JUST JOG ALONG
NICE AND EASY.

HE'S PISSED.

I WANT TO GO --
I WANT TO GO BACK OUT.

Andy: LOTS OF BAD STUFF
HAPPENS OUT HERE.

WE TRY NOT
TO HAVE IT HAPPEN TO US,

BUT IT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO
SOMEBODY AT SOME POINT IN TIME.

YOU HEAR ABOUT IT EVERY YEAR.

BROKEN HANDS,
HEART ATTACKS,

HANDS THROUGH BAIT CHOPPERS.

ONE THING'S FOR SURE --

NOTHING'S FOR SURE.

Narrator:
315 MILES SOUTHEAST,

CLEAR OF THE STORM
IN DUTCH HARBOR,

SITS THE 128-FOOT
CORNELIA MARIE.

Josh: DAMN,
THERE'S A LOT OF POTS LEFT.

NOTHING HAS GONE THE WAY
ANYTHING SHOULD BE GOING.

...IF IT GETS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO,

AND IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT NOW.

Narrator: A WEEK AND A HALF
INTO OPILIO SEASON,

THE CORNELIA
HAS YET TO LEAVE THE DOCK.

THIS GEAR'S IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.

THE WEB, THE LINE, THE BUOYS.

IT'S ALL PRETTY MESSED UP.

Narrator:
JUST FOUR DAYS AGO...

[BLEEP]

OUR POTS ARE ILLEGAL.

THIS IS GONNA COST US
10,000 BUCKS

AND PROBABLY 10 DAYS.

...CAPTAIN CASEY McMANUS
DISCOVERED

THAT SOME OF THEIR OPI POTS
WEREN'T UP TO CODE.

MORE MONEY, MORE TIME.

WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING,
NO MATTER WHAT.

YOU GOT TO TAKE CARE
OF YOUR GEAR.

BUT WE'RE BEHIND.

Narrator: NOW THE CREW
HAS TO CHECK EVERY POT

BEFORE THEY CAN START FISHING.

COMPLETE OVERHAUL.

LONG DAYS.

6:00 A.M. TO 2:00 A.M. IS WHAT
WE'VE BEEN PUSHING OUT HERE.

WAKE UP, GEAR WORK.

I GO TO BED
DREAMING ABOUT GEAR WORK.

FIND ME A BOAT
WHERE THE CREW'S CAUGHT UP

TO WHERE THE CAPTAIN
WANTS THEM TO BE,

I'LL SHOW YOU A UNICORN.

SO, YOU WANT TO BE
A CRAB FISHERMAN?

[ LAUGHTER ]
NO.

I DID NOT SIGN UP
FOR THIS.

I'M TELLING YOU, MAN.

I SHOULD HAVE SAID I WAS SICK
BEFORE I CAME ON.

WE'RE STUPID.

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU BEEN WATCHING
THESE GUYS, JOSH?

THEY'RE STANDING AROUND
BULL[BLEEP]

FROM RIGHT HERE,
OVER MY SHOULDER.

I CAN SEE THEM
THROUGH THE POT.

WOW.
THIS PUSHES MY BUTTONS.

NINE POTS HAVE BEEN DONE
SO FAR TODAY,

AND THAT'S PRETTY SAD.

THAT JUST [BLEEP] DRIVES ME
THROUGH THE [BLEEP] WALL.

EVERYBODY THINKS
I'M THEIR BUDDY, YOU KNOW,

AND I'VE LET THE REINS
BE REALLY LOOSE.

NOW MAYBE IT'S MY TURN

TO ACTUALLY START TAKING
THE REINS ON THIS ONE.

Casey:
THAT'S FINE WITH ME.

I DON'T MIND BEING
THE NICE GUY FOR ONCE.

Man: I LOVE FISHING.
Man #2: THAT'S SOME [BLEEP]

[ LAUGHS ]
RIGHT?

Josh: GENTLEMEN,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE
A LITTLE MEETING AT THE TABLE.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS
ABOUT SOME [BLEEP]

COME ON IN.

VERY [BLEEP] STRESSFUL.

WE NEED THIS GEAR WORK
[BLEEP] DONE.

I'LL DEAL WITH THIS [BLEEP]
THIS IS MY JOB.

Josh: [BLEEP] THESE GUYS.

I WANT EVERYONE --
IT SOUNDED LIKE IT.

LISTEN, I WANT EVERYONE
TO SIT THE [BLEEP] DOWN.

EVERYBODY --

MY GUYS, EVERYBODY,
SIT THE [BLEEP] DOWN.

AND YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS IS [BLEEP]

LOOK AT THIS SITUATION.
DO WE HAVE A [BLEEP] HARD JOB?

DO WE HAVE A HARD JOB?

I'M ASKING YOU.

I'M STILL TRYING TO GET
WHAT WE'RE GETTING AT HERE.

NO, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
JUST ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.

I'M NOT [BLEEP] HAPPY.

DO YOU KNOW WHY
I'M NOT HAPPY, JACOB?

YOUR GUYS'S WORK ETHIC.
WHERE THE [BLEEP] WAS IT AT?

TAKES 9 HOURS
TO DO [BLEEP] 13 POTS.

THAT WAS [BLEEP]
A PATHETIC DISPLAY.

I LOOK LIKE A CHUMP.

I LOOK LIKE A [BLEEP] MORON.

I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING.

LISTEN, NO.
WHAT YOU DON'T GET IS THIS.

I [BLEEP] --
WE GET IT.

ALL RIGHT. THEN WHAT THE [BLEEP]
DO YOU GET?!

WE GET IT.

WHAT DO YOU GET?!
WE GET EVERYTHING.

WE KNOW HOW THE STRESS
IS ON YOU.

ALL RIGHT, THEN WHAT'S ON ME?
TELL ME.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
GOING THROUGH WITH BUSINESS.

WE KNOW ALL THE THINGS
THAT ARE GOING ON.

YOU GUYS DON'T GET SOMETHING.
YOU LOST A FUNDAMENTAL POINT.

DO YOU KNOW HOW [BLEEP]
LIKE, I WAS --

I AM [BLEEP] VERY UPSET,

AND I THINK I HAVE
A [BLEEP] RIGHT.

I THINK THAT IS FAIR.

I'VE SPENT
TWO YEARS OF MY LIFE

HELPING
TO GET THIS BOAT READY.

[BLEEP]

THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE --

RIGHT OUT THE GATE.
LOOK AT ME.

I HAVEN'T EVEN [BLEEP]
GOT A SLEEP RIGHT.

I'M JUST [BLEEP] ANGRY.
I'M LOSING MY [BLEEP] VOICE.

I CAN'T SLEEP.

YOU SIT AROUND IN A CIRCLE.

HOLD ON. JACOB.

I [BLEEP] QUIT!

YOU'RE QUITTING?

ALL RIGHT, HEY.

IF HE WANTS TO [BLEEP] QUIT,
THAT'S A [BLEEP] EASY WAY OUT.

DON'T [BLEEP] ABANDON IT.
FIX IT.

FIX IT.

[BLEEP] MAN.

[BLEEP] FINISH THIS [BLEEP] OFF
AND FINISH IT STRONG

'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
ANY MORE BITCHING.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS [BLEEP]

I GOT NO IDEA
WHAT THE [BLEEP] HAPPENED.

COME DOWN YELLING AT US.

I'VE KILLED MYSELF FOR THIS BOAT
FOR THE LAST TWO YEAS.

Josh: WE'RE GONNA START DOING
THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.

I NEVER, EVER [BLEEP] YELL
AT THOSE GUYS, EVER,

ON ANY OCCASION.

WHEN I DO,
EVERYBODY WILL LISTEN,

AND THEY'LL HEED THE WARNING.

JOSH'S INEXPERIENCE
SHINES EVERY DAY.

FROM MANAGEMENT
TO LEADERSHIP.

I'M OUT OF HERE.
I'M LEAVING.

WELL, THERE IT IS.

WISH JAKE A GOOD TRIP, BE SAFE.

THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.

SO BE IT.

I BEEN TRYING TO GET JOSH
TO MAKE THIS TRANSITION

TO TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY,

BUT I DIDN'T FORESEE IT GOING
QUITE LIKE THIS.

I WOULD HAVE COME AT THAT ONE
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

Narrator: 375 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR,

ABOARD
THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN...

Sig:
THIS IS STRAIGHT NORTHERLY NOW.

STRAIGHT NORTHERLY.

Narrator: ...THREE WEEKS
INTO HIS OPILIO SEASON...

IT'S NOT THE WAY TO DO THIS.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN

STRUGGLES IN 30-FOOT SEAS
AND 56-KNOT WINDS.

LET'S GO GET WET

AND WALK AROUND LIKE A BUNCH
OF DRUNK SAILORS.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Sig: THE WEATHER DOESN'T WANT TO
COOPERATE, NOT ONE BIT.

IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF.

YOU KNOW,
WE HAD EVERYTHING LINED UP.

STRINGS WERE LINED UP.
TRIP WAS LINED UP.

THE DAYS WERE LINED UP.
AND IT'S NOT HELPING.

EVERY DAY COSTS YOU MONEY.

EVERY DAY COSTS YOU TIME.

WE GOT TO MAKE THE BEST
OF OUR TIME WHILE WE CAN.

WE GOT TO GET THESE POTS HAULED

WHILE THE CRAB ARE
KIND OF ON THE BITE.

THERE'S SOME BIG SEAS
OUT THERE.

PLAY THIS BY EAR.

YEAH, THE WEATHER'S GONNA
SLOW US DOWN A LITTLE.

[ WAVE CRASHES ]

WE JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH --
WOW.

YEAH, YOU HEAR THAT?

THAT WAS THE SHELTER WALL
GETTING WHACKED.

THANK GOD FOR THAT OVER THERE,
WE WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE.

Narrator:
WITH 50 POTS IN THE WATER,

THE CAPTAIN HAS TO BALANCE
THE SAFETY OF HIS CREW

WITH FILLING HIS TANKS.

COME ON, BABY, PLEASE BE SOME
UP IN THE TUNNEL.

THERE'S SOME UP IN THE TUNNEL.
THAT'S GOOD.

OH, MY GOD!

[ LAUGHTER ]

Sig: OH, YEAH!
THAT'LL WORK.

WOW.

WHAT'S THAT, 600?

YEAH, ROGER.

NICE.

Sig: [ GROANS ]

GOT TO BE CAREFUL HERE.

SHE'S REALLY ROLLING.

THIS ONE'S EVEN BETTER!

YEAH!

THAT'S 600.

YEAH!

WHOA, HEADS UP!
WATCH OUT!

Sig:
OKAY, THIS OFFICIALLY SUCKS.

PROBLEM IS, THE GEAR
IS NOT SITTING RIGHT.

GEAR IS SITTING
NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST.

THE WIND'S COMING
FROM THE NORTH,

SO IT'S RIGHT ON THE CORNER,
SEE?

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT.

THEY'RE GETTING BIG.

OH, YEAH,
IT'S GETTING UGLY.

WATCH IT, WATCH IT.
WATCH YOUR BACK.

DON'T STAND THERE,
NORMAN.

Sig: I JUST DON'T WANT
THAT POT IN THE RACK

WHEN PEOPLE ARE WORKING
AT THAT --

ON THAT TABLE.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT NOBODY.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU WANT TO DO THIS.

DO YOU WANT TO LAND THE POT,

AND THEN YOU GUYS
JUST GO FORWARD

AND LET ME RUN

AND GET BEHIND THAT NEXT POT
AND JOG ON IT?

AND THAT WAY, YOU'RE NOT
AT THE RAIL WHATSOEVER.

YOU LAND THE POT, YOU DOG IT.

YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY,

AND I CAN JUST BEELINE IT
FOR THE NEXT POT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT PLAN?

'CAUSE SOME OF THESE [BLEEP]
ARE GETTING SERIOUS.

THE BOAT'S JUST ROLLING HARD.

I THINK IF WE DO THAT,
THE WAY I'M TALKING,

I THINK THAT'S GONNA WORK.

NORMALLY WHEN YOU LAND THE POT,

THE GUYS WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR,

THE CRAB GOES ON THE TABLE,
THEY GO TO WORK.

THEY'RE EXPOSED TO THE RAIL.

WE'RE JUST GONNA TRY SOMETHING
A LITTLE DIFFERENT HERE.

DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE.

Narrator: WITH SEAS
COMING OVER THE RAIL...

JUST GONNA GET OVER
TO THE NEXT ONE,

AND THEN WE'LL DEAL WITH IT.

Narrator:
...SIG ORDERS THE CREW

TO RETREAT BENEATH THE SHELTER
OF THE HOUSE.

HE DIDN'T WANT GUYS ON THE POT,

GUYS ON THE TABLE
RUNNING TO THE NEXT POT

AS WAVES ARE COMING OVER.

THE SWELLS ARE GETTING BIGGER.

IT'S JUST SAFER.

NOW I CAN GET FROM THE POT
TO THE NEXT ONE,

JUST GET THROUGH THESE SEAS,

JOG ON THE NEXT POT
THAT I'M GONNA PULL,

AND THEN THEY CAN DO THE CRAB,
SET THE POT.

INSTEAD OF WORKING
IN AN EXPOSED AREA

WHILE I'M GOING FROM "A" TO "B."

Nick: IT'S GETTING NAUTICAL,
GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS,

SO WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO
SLOW HER DOWN A LITTLE

AND MUDDLE THROUGH IT.

THEY'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIG.

I'M GONNA TURN.

Narrator:
THE SKIPPER MANEUVERS THE BOAT

TO PUT THE WEATHER
ON THE PORT SIDE,

SHIELDING HIS CREW
FROM THE STORM.

OKAY, GO FOR IT.

I'M JUST GONNA JOG IN PLACE
HERE WHILE YOU GUYS WORK.

JUST TRY AND GET THE CRAB IN,
THEN WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT POT.

THAT'S A FULL POT.
JUST KEEPS COMING.

THESE CRAB COULD BE ON THE MOVE.

WE DON'T KNOW.

IF THEY ARE, YOU GOT TO BE HERE
AND CHASE THEM.

HOPEFULLY, THOSE LITTLE BUGGERS
DON'T MAKE A U-TURN

AND START TRUCKING
THE OTHER WAY.

OKAY, GET OUT OF THE WAY.

THAT MEANS YOU, BLUE GUY.

HOW LONG IS THAT GONNA LAST?
THAT'S THE QUESTION.

Narrator: 355 MILES NORTHWEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

[ SEA GULLS CALLING ]

...ON THE SAGA.

HOURS AFTER A ROGUE WAVE
NEARLY CAPSIZED THE BOAT...

...ROOKIE CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON
IS STILL SHUT DOWN.

Jake:
I'M -- I'M FREAKED OUT.

I DON'T WANT TO HAUL ANY MORE.

[ ALARM SOUNDING ]

[ ALARM STOPS ]

I WISH I JUST WANTED TO JUST BE
A DECKHAND, AND THAT'S IT.

BUT I'VE SEEN A LOT OF BIG WAVES
ON DECK BEFORE,

BEEN WASHED AROUND.

AND A LOT OF THE TIMES,
YOU KNOW, ON THE NORTHWESTERN,

WE JUST KIND OF LAUGH,

AND SIG SCREAMS,

AND THEN WE GO ON ABOUT OUR DAY.

BUT I'M NOT ON DECK ANYMORE,
AND I'M IN THE WHEELHOUSE.

MY MIND'S TELLING ME TO GIVE UP
RIGHT NOW, JUST GO HOME.

JUST GO GET THAT EASY JOB.

WHAT I'D GIVE TO JUST
COME BACK HOME RIGHT NOW.

[ CELLPHONE DIALING ]

[ Ringing ]

JAKE'S WIFE: Hello?

Jake: HELLO.

I MIGHT HAVE BIT OFF
MORE THAN I CAN CHEW.

I DON'T WANT TO KILL
ANYBODY.

WE'RE HAULING
IN REALLY [BLEEP] WEATHER.

AND WE TOOK
A REALLY BIG WAVE.

BAD.

You're building
your résumé.

And that's really
what's most important.

[ Baby crying ]

IS THAT AIDEN?

HOW'S HE DOING?

Aiden -- Aiden's good.
He's got gas.

[ Chuckles ]

ANYWAY, I'M GONNA GET OFF
THE PHONE.

I LOVE YOU.

All right,
I love you, too.

ALL RIGHT.

[ Crying continues ]

We miss you.

I MISS YOU, TOO.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

THIS JOB,
ISN'T A MATTER OF IF,

IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN
YOU GET HURT.

I WAS 100% CONFIDENT
THAT I WAS MADE TO DO THIS JOB.

Narrator: 30 MILES SOUTH...

THESE WAVES ARE BIG.

AND THEY WANT TO ATTACK.

WHAT WE'RE DOING DIFFERENT IS

WE'RE NOT WORKING
ON THE WAY OVER.

BECAUSE THEY'RE EXPOSED.

WHERE THEY'RE KIND OF HIDING
UP FORWARD.

ONCE THEY GET TO THE NEXT POT,

SO THEY CAN WORK UNDER SHELTER
UP AGAINST THE WIND.

I KNOW.

Narrator: TO KEEP FISHING
IN THE HEART OF THE STORM...

Sig: A LOT OF GUYS

PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BOTHERED
HAULING IN THIS.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN

HAS IMPLEMENTED
A HAUL-AND-HIDE STRATEGY.

OH, HO, HO, HO!

BUT THE BERING SEA CONTINUES
TO PACK A NASTY WALLOP.

OH!

THERE'S STILL COMBERS
THAT COME THROUGH.

THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO
IS HURT SOMEBODY.

THIS IS DOABLE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT.

OKAY.

I WANT TO JUST KEEP FOLLOWING
THE CRAB.

THAT'S GONNA BE
THE TRICK FOR US.

OH, BOY.

NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD.

[ BEEP ]

AH, WATER.

[ LAUGHS ]

126!

[ WAVE CRASHES ]

WHOA!

WATCH OUT!

Sig: COME ON, PLEASE.

DON'T BE WEAK.

OH, BOY.

FISHING DROPPED OFF
CONSIDERABLY.

THEY DROPPED.
THEY DROPPED IN HALF.

TRAWL LINE ON THE CRAB
AREN'T TRAWLING

BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN BLOWING
FOR DAYS LIKE THIS.

OH. COME ON NOW.

EASY, GIRL.

WATCH OUT.
GET OFF THE RAIL.

OHH!

I'M WET!

RIGHT UP AGAINST IT.
WHAT THE HELL?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

OH [BLEEP]

IT'S ENOUGH.

IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK.

[ RADIO BEEPS ]

HEY, THAT'S IT.

WE'RE DONE.

YOU GUYS JUST TIGHTEN UP
THE DECK, GO IN.

LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.

I'M OLDER.
THE CREW'S GETTING OLDER.

10, 15 YEARS AGO,
I WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED,

AND I WOULD HAVE
JUST KEPT GRINDING.

I WOULD HAVE TOOK EVERY CRAB
AND PUT IT IN THE TANK

JUST OUT OF PRIDE.

I WOULD HAVE FORCED IT.

AND TODAY, I CAN'T SAY THE SAME.

ARE WE GIVING UP?

NO, WE'RE NOT GIVING UP,

BUT TRYING TO WORK SMARTER,
NOT HARDER, YOU KNOW?

THAT'S WHERE
MY MENTALITY'S CHANGED.

WE JUST GOT TO COME BACK OUT
AND REGROUP.

HOPE THESE LITTLE BUGGERS
ARE CRAWLING AGAIN.

Narrator: WITH CAPTAIN SIG'S
HAUL-AND-HIDE STRATEGY,

THE NORTHWESTERN
OVERTAKES THE TIME BANDIT.

GO.

AH, STOP! AAH!

[BLEEP]

WHAT'S THE MATTER?
[BLEEP]

OH, DUDE.
[BLEEP]

[ SCREAMING ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

OHH!

HOLY [BLEEP]
WHAT THE [BLEEP]

WHAT DO I DO?
WHAT DO I GRAB?

OW!

[ LAUGHTER ]

GOTCHA!

HOLY [BLEEP]

YOU JUST SCARED THE CRAP
OUT OF ME.

Bill: YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA
STILL BE ABLE TO HAUL GEAR?

Narrator:
IN DUTCH HARBOR...

IT'S TIME
TO START PAYING THE BILLS.

Narrator: ...WITH THEIR GEARWORK
FINALLY COMPLETE...

TURN HER UP, MAN.
TIME TO GO FISHING.

...THE CORNELIA MARIE THROWS
HER LINES AT LONG LAST.

ENGINE READY!

Casey: HAD A LOT OF GEARWORK
TO COMPLETE.

CREW GOT A LITTLE ROWDY

AND ENDED UP COSTING US
ONE OF OUR BEST GUYS.

GOT ALL WORKED UP.

AND NOW WE'RE LEAVING TOWN
WITHOUT HIM.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

IT'S TIME TO GO TO WORK, THOUGH,
ALL FEELINGS ASIDE.

WE'RE LATE.
WE GOT TO MAKE UP SOME TIME.

LET'S JUST GO TO WORK.

Narrator: AS DAWN BREAKS,

THE VIOLENT STORM
RECEDES INTO A MEMORY.

ABOARD THE SAGA...

IT WAS THE LONGEST FIVE SECONDS
OF MY LIFE.

VERY EASILY,

SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOT
WASHED OVERBOARD ON THAT DEAL.

I'M GLAD
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO JAKE

'CAUSE THAT WOULD
KNOCK YOU WAY BACK.

BUT TODAY'S A GOOD DAY.

BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW I DO.

HE NEEDS CONFIDENCE TO KEEP
HIMSELF GOING THROUGH THIS.

Narrator: FOR FRESHMAN CAPTAIN
JAKE ANDERSON...

I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT
THROUGH THIS SEASON

AND EVERYBODY'S ALIVE
AND EVERYBODY'S SAFE.

Narrator: ...THE NEW DAY BRINGS

FAMILIAR CHALLENGES
AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE.
WATER IS SUPER CLEAR.

A BEAUTIFUL GREEN.

YOU CAN SEE THE SUN
COMING THROUGH THE WAVES.

THE SUN'S COMING UP,
IT'S A NEW DAY,

BUT I'M FEELING
A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.

I FEEL A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.

THE WAVE REALLY AFFECTED ME

BECAUSE I JUST...

SEEING THAT HAPPEN TO,

YOU KNOW, A LONG-TIME,
EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL,

IT JUST SHOOK ME UP PRETTY BAD.

IT'S TIME TO HAUL SOME GEAR.

[ SEA GULLS CALLING ]

Wade:
HE'S JUST BEING A LITTLE TIMID.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO HURT ANYBODY.

HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO
SCREW UP.

HE'S JUST GOT TO REALIZE
THAT EVERYBODY SCREWS UP.

Jake: I DON'T THINK
THE CREW MEMBERS TRUST ME FULLY.

I DON'T THINK
THEY HAVE ANY REASON TO.

THEY ARE NOT GONNA TRUST ME
UNTIL THEY SEE THE PAYCHECK.

THAT'S A GOOD POT
RIGHT THERE.

Man: HELL, YEAH!

THERE'S MY MONEY!

Brandon: 250 IN THAT ONE.

NOT A LOT,
BUT THEY'RE NICE AND CLEAN.

WE'RE DOING GOOD SO FAR.

A LOT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO CRAB,
YOU KNOW?

I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO CRAB.

BUT I WAS NEVER
REALLY ANY GOOD AT IT.

IT JUST BEAT ME UP TOO BAD.

DADDY'S GOT A PAYCHECK.

ALL KEEPERS.

CRAB FISHING'S
GETTING BETTER.

Mike: THE FIRST FEW POTS,
YOU'RE DOING WELL.

PROBABLY GOT AROUND 300.

Jake: 300!

300!

I'VE BEEN UP.
I'VE BEEN DOWN.

I'VE BEEN UP AGAIN
AND UP AND DOWN AGAIN.

AND RIGHT NOW,
I FEEL LIKE I'M ON THE UP,

AND I'M LOOKING FOR
AN EVEN KEEL.

YEAH, BABY!

YEAH.

THAT LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER 300 TO ME.

BEING ON A FAMILY BOAT
HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT ME

IS THAT YOU NEED TO BE
WITH PEOPLE

THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO DIE WITH.

AND IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING
TO DIE WITH THEM,

THEN DON'T LEAVE THE DOCK
WITH THEM.
