Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 2 - Prodigal Son - full transcript

Josh: EVERYONE IN THIS INDUSTRY

WANTS TO TELL ME
HOW TO RUN THE BOAT.

YOU KNOW,
IT KIND OF CHAPS MY ASS.

IN ORDER FOR ME
TO BE SUCCESSFUL,

I GOTTA DO THINGS MY WAY.

JOSH HARRIS --

I THINK HE JUST
WANTS TO BE PHIL HARRIS,

SKIP ALL THE [BLEEP],
SKIP ALL THE CAPTAINING

AND JUST RUN AROUND, SAYING,

"I'M A MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR
BOAT OWNER."

[ MAN SHOUTS ]



Sig: I DON'T THINK
HE'S QUITE THERE YET.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU START TO BECOME
RELIANT ON OTHER PEOPLE,

THEY WILL NEVER
BECOME SELF-RELIANT.

YOU NEED TO BE INVOLVED
ON THAT BOAT.

OTHERWISE, THAT BOAT
IS GONNA SINK,

WHETHER IT'S FINANCIALLY
OR LITERALLY.

[ ALARM WAILING ]

FOR YOU NAYSAYERS OUT THERE,

HAVE A [BLEEP] NICE GLASS
OF SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP.

WHOO!
[ MEN CHEER ]

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

[ MEN SHOUTING, WHOOPING ]

Man: YEAH!

WE'RE $100,000 IN THREE HOURS.



THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

Narrator: JUST FIVE DAYS
INTO THE KING CRAB SEASON...

IF WE CAN GET OUT
AND GET ON THE GROUNDS

BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE,

GET OFF TO A GOOD START,
MAYBE WE CAN POP A BIG TRIP

BEFORE THE REST OF THE FLEET
DOES.

Narrator: ...CAPTAINS ALREADY

HAVE THEIR SIGHTS
ON THE NEXT FISHERY.

YOU KNOW, GUYS
ARE CATCHING BAIRDI RIGHT NOW.

[ MEN WHOOPING, CHEERING ]

Narrator: THE ELUSIVE BAIRDI.
SUCCESS!

THEY'RE TAKING CRAB
OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN

THAT COULD BE HARVESTED BY ME.

SO I NEED TO GET TURNED
AROUND AND BACK OUT.

ALL RIGHT, COMING OVER.

Narrator: WITH THE BAIRDI QUOTA
UP 500%,

IT'S A FLEETWIDE RACE
TO FINISH REDS.

[ CHEERING ]
WE'RE IN THE MEAT NOW, BOYS.

THE MID TANK'S GONNA
FILL UP QUICK.

YES, YES, YES!

Narrator: ...AND CLAIM THEIR
SHARE OF BAIRDI GOLD.

THAT'S MONEY THERE, BABY.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.

Narrator:
ON THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN...

Man: SIGGY! YES!
[ MEN CHEERING, SHOUTING ]

[ LAUGHTER, CHEERING ]

THAT'S EXACTLY THE NUMBER
THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN
SIG HANSEN AND CREW

CONTINUE THEIR SLEEPLESS GRIND
TO FILL THE TANKS WITH REDS.

IF WE CAN GET TWICE
THROUGH THE GEAR

WITH DECENT AVERAGE, YOU KNOW,

WE CAN FILL THIS THING.

THAT'S THE GOAL.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.
THE BOAT'S ALMOST FULL.

Sig: VERY BIG QUOTA, COMING UP
FOR BAIRDI AFTER KING CRAB.

EDGAR'S GOT SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO, DEFINITELY.

HE'S THE ONE
WHO WANTED TO SIT IN THE CHAIR

AND RUN THE SHOW,
SO PERFECT OPPORTUNITY.

Narrator: BELOW DECK...

THE GRUELING HOURS
ARE TAKING A TOLL

ON DECK BOSS
EDGAR HANSEN'S INJURED BACK.

RIGHT THERE, ALL THE WAY DOWN.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST --
THERE'S NO -- I'M JUST [BLEEP].

I JUST DON'T WANT
TO SAY ANYTHING TO SIG.

I MEAN...YET.

Narrator: SO FAR, HE'S KEPT
BIG BROTHER SIG IN THE DARK.

Narrator: FIVE DAYS AGO...

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

...AFTER A MASSIVE INCREASE
IN THE BAIRDI QUOTA...

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.

...SIG GRANTED EDGAR'S WISH

TO TAKE ON A BIGGER ROLE
IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS.

WE'LL GIVE IT
OUR BEST SHOT.

NO, WE DON'T --
YOU KNOW, YOU CATCH.

I MEAN, THAT'S MONEY.

THIS ISN'T JUST A LITTLE FOOD
SCRAP THAT'S BEEN TOSSED TO HIM.

IT'S A VERY DECENT SIZE QUOTA
WITH SOME DECENT MONEY AT STAKE.

AND WITH THAT, IT'S
HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO GO GET IT.

NOW IS THE TIME
FOR EDGAR TO SHOW HIMSELF

WHAT HE'S ACTUALLY MADE OF.

[ SNORING ]

ANDERSON?

CAN YOU HAVE HIM COME UP HERE?
WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE?

WELL...CAN YOU HAVE
HIM COME UP HERE, PLEASE?

[ BEEP ]

WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?

IN HIS BUNK?

[ GROANS ]

OH, [BLEEP].
[ RADIO BEEPS ]

WHAT'S UP?

YOU'RE MISSING THE SHOW, MAN.

WHAT IS IT?

WHY ARE YOU IN YOUR BUNK?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR BACK?

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?

BEFORE WE GOT UP HERE?
YEAH.

I DIDN'T KNOW.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THE END
OF THE TRIP

AND I'M HEARING ABOUT THIS.

YOU KNOW, YOU SIGNED A CONTRACT
BEFORE YOU CAME UP.

IT SAYS,
"ARE YOU FIT FOR DUTY?"

AND YOU SAID, "YES."

ALL I KNOW IS YOU GOT
OVER $400,000 ON THE LINE.

THAT'S ANOTHER 400,000 GRAND
TO THIS BOAT

THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO GO GET.

LOOK, ALL I CAN TELL YOU NOW
IS I CAN'T DRIVE.

YOU MEAN, YOU CAN'T EVEN
SIT IN A CHAIR AND RUN A BOAT?

NO.

SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING
ME IS,

I'M GOING TO RUN THE BOAT
FOR BAIRDI.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME.

WE'RE ALMOST DONE
WITH OUR KING CRAB SEASON.

AND THEN, THE LAST GUY
I EXPECTED TO THROW

A MONKEY WRENCH
IN THE WORKS IS YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE
[BLEEP] BAILED ON YOU,

BUT I'M NOT TRYING TO.
I WANT TO BE HERE.

YOU CAN'T BAIL.
IT'S YOUR BOAT.

IT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

IF IT WAS ANYBODY ELSE,
THEY WOULD.

OH, [BLEEP] IT.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, SORRY
I DIDN'T TELL YOU SOONER.

[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

[ SIGHS ] GOD,
[BLEEP]...

I THINK HE'S AT THE AGE NOW,
TOO,

WHERE YOU'RE IN IT FOR YOUR...
FAMILY SHOULD MATTER.

Sig: SO, YES, THIS IS FAMILY.
YES, I DO CARE.

BUT, AT THE SAME TIME,
I WANNA SUCCEED.

[ SEA BIRDS SQUAWKING ]

HE'S PUTTING HIMSELF FIRST,
BEFORE THIS BUSINESS.

AND I THINK THAT'S
WHAT'S BOTHERING ME.

I'M -- I'M LOSING
MY SYMPATHY HERE.

IF THIS WAS A CORPORATE OFFICE,

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN [BLEEP]
GONE LIKE THAT.

MAYBE IT'S HIS LAST CRAB TRIP
FOR ALL I KNOW.

Narrator: 85 MILES SOUTHEAST...

[ DOG BARKING ]

...IN SAND POINT, ALASKA.

Josh: UNBELIEVABLE.

ONCE AGAIN, NOTHING IS HAPPENING
ON THE CORNELIA MARIE.

Narrator: BOAT OWNER JOSH HARRIS
AND CREW

STILL HAVEN'T STARTED
THEIR MOTOR OR THEIR SEASON.

[BLEEP] WE'RE GONNA BE
[BLEEP] BANKRUPT.

THIS HAS BEEN THE SEASON
FROM HELL FOR US.

Narrator:
OVER THE PAST WEEK...

[ ENGINE CRANKING ]

...A BUSTED PORT MAIN...

WHAT?
THEY'RE NOT [BLEEP] HERE.

Narrator:
...AND MISSING PARTS...

THE RINGS.

THE PISTON RINGS
ARE NOT HERE.

...HAS PUT THE CORNELIA'S
$800,000 SEASON IN JEOPARDY.

WE'RE STILL TIED TO THE DOCK,

PRAYING
THAT THIS PART MAKES IT IN.

IT'S TIME.
WE NEED TO LEAVE.

WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW.

BROKE.
WE'RE ALL GOING BROKE.

TIED TO THIS PRISON
TIED TO THE DOCK.

THERE AIN'T NOTHING GOING ON.

Narrator: JOINING THE RANKS
OF THE STRANDED CREW,

FORMER TIME BANDIT DECK BOSS
SCOTTY HILLSTRAND.

JUST SITTING AROUND.
THAT WAS THE PLAN.

COME OUT HERE,
JUST [BLEEP] THROW THE LINES.

[BLEEP] GO FISHING,

FLY BACK HOME...

RIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN.

WE STILL GOT A WEEK BEFORE
WE CAN EVEN GET THERE, THOUGH.

Narrator: AFTER THREE DAYS
OF WAITING...

GO GET THIS PART PUT IN.

...THE MISSING ENGINE PARTS
ARRIVE.

GET HER INSTALLED.
GET THIS THING RUNNING.

YOU GOT THE PART?
OH, GOT THE PART, BROTHER.

YEAH!

WE GOT THE PART.

NOW, HOPEFULLY, EVERYTHING
GETS PUT TOGETHER AND WORKS.

RIGHT NOW,
WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED OUR PART.

AND WE ARE WAITING CURRENTLY
FOR THEM TO INSTALL IT SO WE

CAN TURN THE MOTOR OVER AND SEE
IF IT ALL RUNS UP TO PAR.

[ EQUIPMENT RUMBLING ]

IF YOU DON'T HAVE
YOUR TIME RIGHT,

THAT'S WHAT BLEW IT UP
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

[ BURST, ENGINE CRANKS ]

[ CRANKING CONTINUES,
ENGINE CATCHING ]

SOUNDS LIKE WE GOT SOMETHING,
AND THERE IT GOES.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED,
RIGHT THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

YEAH. HELL YEAH.

Narrator:
WITH THE MAINS FIRED UP...

YOU GUYS READY TO GO?
READY.

LET'S [BLEEP] ROCK THIS [BLEEP].

Narrator: ...THE CREW COMMENCES

A LONG-OVERDUE
THROWING OF THE LINES.

KING SEASON 2014 UNDERWAY.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
LET'S GO AHEAD

AND CUT THE STERN LINE FIRST.

READY?

READY!

WE'RE ABOUT TO HIT
THE [BLEEP] ROAD.

[ RUMBLING ]

[ LAUGHS ]

LET'S GO SLAY THEM, BOYS.

[ WHOOSHING, WHIRRING PITCH ]

YEAH.

[ WHIRRING ]
[ BLEEP ]

[ ALARM WAILING ]

WHAT?

[ WAILING CONTINUES ]

YOU GOTTA BE [BLEEP] KIDDING ME.

Narrator:
ON THE CORNELIA MARIE...

[ BLEEP ]
WHAT?

[ ALARM WAILING ]

YOU GOTTA BE [BLEEP] KIDDING ME.

Narrator: WITH THE BOAT
BARELY OFF THE DOCK...

SOMETHING'S UP
WITH THE PORT MAIN.

GET UP HERE AND DRIVE THE BOAT.

...THE NEWLY REPAIRED ENGINE
IS ALREADY FAILING.

[BLEEP]
CASE IS ON HIS WAY DOWN THERE.

SOMETHING HAPPENED.
WE LOST RPM.

[ BLEEP ]

THAT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

WE'RE TALKING
CLOSE TO BANKRUPTCY ON THIS ONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN RECOVER.

DID YOU HEAR IT CHANGE RPM?

NOT A PITCH CHANGE SO MUCH AS
A, KIND OF A, "TSS, TSS, TSS."

REALLY?

[ LOUD WHIRRING ]

SOMETHING'S GOING ON.

RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
WE'RE [BLEEP] GOING ANYWHERE.

...I'M WONDERING
WHAT THE [BLEEP] GOING ON.

[ LOUD RUMBLE ]
ALL RIGHT. UH...

[ LIQUID DRIPPING ]

JUST WANT SOMEBODY TO COME TELL
ME WHAT THE [BLEEP] IS GOING ON.

ONE OF THE FILTER HOUSING NUTS
WAS A LITTLE BIT LOOSE.

Narrator: A $2 NUT...

[BLEEP] YES. YEAH.

...NEARLY SHUT DOWN THE
MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR OPERATION.

CASEY SAVES THE DAY AGAIN.

SEEMS LIKE AN EVERYDAY
OCCURRENCE FOR YOU. [ LAUGHS ]

THANK GOD
IT WAS A FAIRLY SIMPLE FIX.

THE C.M. HAS ALREADY
SPENT ENOUGH TIME AT THE DOCK.

THANK CHRIST.

Narrator: FINALLY, THE CORNELIA
MARIE LEAVES HARBOR.

Josh: EVEN IF WE DO
GET OUT OF HERE,

WE STILL GOT TO GO OUT
AND SET PODS AND FIND CRAB.

Narrator: 140 MILES NORTHWEST...

ON THE WIZARD.

WE HAVEN'T HAULED
THAT MUCH GEAR, HAVE WE?

NO.
NO.

BUT WE'VE ALREADY GOT 1/3
OF OUR CRAB ON BOARD.

WOW.
WOW.

Narrator: AFTER FOUR DAYS
OF SCORCHING HOT FISHING...

THEY'RE ADDING UP FAST.

YEAH, WE'RE UP TO, LIKE,
33,000, 34,000 POUNDS ALREADY.

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN
KEITH COLBURN IS ON TRACK

TO FINISH KING SEASON
IN JUST ONE TRIP.

IT'S ALL GONNA DEPEND
ON WHAT WE GOT IN OUR GEAR.

IF THAT STUFF POPS, GONNA BE
THE SHORTEST 100,000-POUND TRIP

ON PROBABLY THE HISTORY
OF THE BERING SEA.

SO LET'S KEEP IT GOING.

I'M GONNA KEEP THEM COMING AT YA
AS FAST I CAN, ALL RIGHT?

NO REASON TO SLOW DOWN NOW.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
KEEP IT UP.

GOOD JOB.

LAST YEAR, WE HAD
A DECENT AMOUNT OF KING CRAB.

WE HAD ABOUT 140,000 POUNDS.

START OF THIS SEASON, WE
GOT OUR KING CRAB QUOTA SLASHED.

Narrator: FIVE DAYS AGO...

Keith: I LOST MY BIGGEST QUOTA
SHAREHOLDER TO MY EX-PARTNER.

Narrator: AN EX-PARTNER RAN AWAY
WITH NEARLY HALF

OF KEITH'S KING CRAB QUOTA.

I TELL YOU WHAT.
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: THEN, WHEN THAT SAME
BOAT CAME FOR THE REST OF IT...

I'LL BRING THEM 220 POT STRINGS
OVER AND BLOCK THAT GUY FOR YOU.

...KEITH CALLED ON FELLOW
CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND

TO HELP BOX OUT THE COMPETITION.

CODE NAME ROAD RUNNER?
WILE E. COYOTE.

...AND THE TWO CAPTAINS
FORMED AN UNLIKELY ALLIANCE.

THERE'S THREE BOATS
OUT THE WINDOW THERE.

BUT ONE OF THEM'S JOHNATHAN.

Narrator:
800 YARDS AWAY,

ON THE 113-FOOT
TIME BANDIT...

KEITH'S TOLD US TO COME
OVER THIS WAY.

HE SAID, "SET ON THIS LINE
AND THIS LINE,"

AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I DID.

WITH HIS POTS IN THE WATER

AND THE COMPETITION
BLOCKED OUT...

I HOPE WE'RE LANDING
ON HUNDREDS.

...JOHNATHAN HAS HELD UP
HIS END OF THE BARGAIN.

You out there, Road Runner?
YEAH, I GOT THROUGH FINE, MAN.

AND I'M RUNNING OVER
JUST TO SPOT CHECK.

I'M BY THE EASTERN END
HERE.

THERE'S A VEIN OF CRAB
OVER THERE

THAT'S SMOKING
[BLEEP] HOT.

OKAY. CALL YOUR REPO.
I'LL BE STANDING BY.

OKAY MAN.
Beep, beep.

YEAH, BEEP, BEEP.

Johnathan:
PUTTING A LOT OF TRUST IN KEITH.

I JUST DID BY
SENDING 40 POTS OVER THERE.

WE'LL KNOW
IF WE CAN TRUST EACH OTHER.

IT'S ALL -- BOILS DOWN
TO WHAT'S IN THE NEXT STRING.

AND IF WE CAN BOTH HELP
EACH OTHER LOAD OUR BOATS,

THEN WE'LL BOTH BE HOME SOONER.

Narrator:
AFTER DAYS PULLING BLANKS,

JOHNATHAN IS DESPERATE FOR CRAB
IN THE TANKS.

[ MOTOR WHIRRING ]

SEE WHAT WE GOT.

THAT'S LIKE AN 11-HOUR SOAK.

THREE-QUARTERS FULL!
HO HO HO!

[ CHEERING ]
OH, YEAH, MAN.

YEAH!

THREE-QUARTER-FULL CRAB POD
AT 11 HOURS.

[BLEEP] ME,
WE GOT 50 [BLEEP] BOMBS.

WHOO!

PICK A DUMP.
PICK A DUMP.

YEAH!

WE [BLEEP] FOUND THEM, DUDE.

OH, YEAH, BABY.

THANK YOU, GOD.
THANK YOU, KEITH.

Narrator:
ON THE WIZARD...

JACKPOT!

WOO-HOO-HOO!

Narrator: CAPTAIN KEITH'S
HOT STREAK BLAZES ON.

YEAH, BABY!
KEEP 'EM COMING!

89!
89!

OOMPH, OOMPH, OOMPH.

[ MEN CHEERING ]

Narrator:
AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON...

WHOO!

WHOA-HO!

...THE RED KING CRAB
CONTINUES TO FLOW.

WHOO!

OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH-OHH!

AND I CAN DO THAT 'CAUSE
I'M PART INDIAN.

[ MAN SHOUTING ]
YEAH!

COUPLE MORE STRINGS, MAN.

COUPLE MORE STRINGS LIKE THIS,
WE'LL BE DONE.

Keith:
THAT'S A GOOD TIME HERE.

I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME
WORKING WITH JOHN.

HE'S THE KIND OF GUY
YOU WANNA WORK WITH.

[ MEN SHOUTING, CHEERING ]

[ SHOUTING CONTINUES ]

I'M CIRCLING THE WAGON TRAIN,
[BLEEP].

OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH!
TOMAHAWK. [ LAUGHS ]

GOING OVER.

MOTHER LODE, RIGHT HERE.

90.

99. 98.

HA HA! NOW, WE'RE GOLD.

NOW, WE CAN CALL THE CAVALRY.

GET ALL OUR GEAR OUT
ON THIS [BLEEP].

WE'RE WORKING
THROUGH THE NIGHT NOW.

[ LAUGHS ]
SORRY ABOUT THE NO SLEEP.

[ PHONE RINGS ]

KEITH?

YEAH.

WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD.

GOT YOU COVERED, BUDDY.

ALL RIGHT.
RIGHT ON.

98 [BLEEP] CRAB
IN 11 HOURS.

I WAS -- I'M SHAKING, DUDE.
THANK YOU. [ LAUGHS ]

YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT SENT ME HERE.

[BLEEP] SHAKING, DUDE.

RIGHT ON. ON MY WAY, MAN.
BLAST THEM OUT THERE. WOO-HOO.

Narrator:
ON THE NORTHWESTERN...

YOU WANT TO BE DONE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Narrator: AFTER DAYS
OF GRINDING HIS CREW...

WHOA!

...CAPTAIN SIG'S KING CRAB
QUOTA IS IN THE TANKS.

Sig: UNBELIEVABLE.

GOOD DAY TO BE A CRAB FISHERMAN.

I HAVE TO SAY,
AS FAR AS THE KING CRAB SEASON,

THIS HAS BEEN ONE FOR THE BOOKS.

I WON'T BE FORGETTING
THIS SEASON FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

I ALWAYS SEEM TO MANAGE, YOU
KNOW, TO WORK IT TO THE BONE

AND TO THE END.

THIS ONE'S NO DIFFERENT.

[ SEA BIRDS SQUAWKING ]

61.

61 IN THE LAST ONE.

WE'VE KILLED IT THIS TRIP.

WE'RE KILLING IT.
I WANT -- IT'S -- WE'RE GOOD.

Sig: THE LAST STRING,

HAD A 62 AVERAGE.

IT JUST GOT BETTER.
THAT'S CRAZY.

STARTING TO SLOWLY GO DOWN,

SO THAT MEANS IT'S ALMOST CLOSE
TO BE FULL.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T GONE
AROUND THE CLOCK

FOR A LONG TIME ON THIS BOAT,
AND THAT SURE PAID OFF.

SO THIS YEAR,

I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO GO OFF
TO A FLAMING HOOK.

I'M JUST GONNA
DO SOMETHING SIMPLE THIS YEAR.

Narrator:
WITH THE LAST POT IN SIGHT,

THE CREW FIRES UP
THEIR END-OF-SEASON TRADITION.

HERE WE GO.

COME UP, COME UP.

COME ON, KARL...
[ CHATTERING ]

YEAH!
WHOO!

YEAH!

SEVENTY-TWO.
SEVEN-TWO.

HIGH POT.

HIGH POT.

WOO, BABY!

GOOD JOB. WAY TO STICK TOGETHER.

BAM. LIKE A BLITZKRIEG,
THIS KING CRAB SEASON.

KING CRAB IS OVER WITH.

VERY SUCCESSFUL.

I THINK KING CRAB
IS JUST A WARM-UP.

UNFORGETTABLE SEASON.

I DIDN'T WANT
TO END IT ON A NEGATIVE,

BUT THIS BAIRDI COMING UP
IS GOING TO BE A GRIND.

NO OFFENSE TO EDGAR, BUT I
THINK WE GOT TO SHIP HIM OUT

AND DO IT RIGHT, YOU KNOW?

REALLY FIND OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HIM.

AND I'M INCLINED
TO JUST GET HIM A TICKET

TO SEATTLE OR ANCHORAGE.

HE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT
BY A DOCTOR.

WITH EVERY UP COMES A DOWN,

AND THIS KING CRAB
WAS DEFINITELY OUR UP.

I'M JUST PRAYING THAT BAIRDI'S
NOT GOING TO BE A DOWNER.

Narrator:
80 MILES SOUTH...

THE CORNELIA MARIE
ARRIVES IN KING COVE, ALASKA.

Narrator: STILL 10 DAYS BEHIND
THE REST OF THE FLEET...

HEY, JIMMY.
HOW'S IT GOING OUT THERE?

YOU GETTING ANY CRAB?

Narrator: ...JOSH HARRIS
AND CAPTAIN CASEY McMANUS

HAVE ONE LAST STOP

BEFORE HEADING
OUT TO THE FISHING GROUNDS.

WE JUST LEFT SAND POINT HERE,
AND WE'RE HEADED TO KING COVE.

Josh: SO HOPEFULLY,
CASEY GETS THIS ONE FIGURED OUT.

Casey: YEAH.

ROGER, ROGER.
OKAY, JIMMY.

THANK YOU.

I CALLED THE BILLIKIN.

I TALKED TO JIMMY,
AND HE'S ALL ON BOARD.

CASEY PULLED IN A FAVOR,
A HUGE FAVOR,

FROM HIS OLD SKIPPER

ABOUT BORROWING THEIR GEAR SO IT
CAN SAVE US SOME MONEY

'CAUSE WE'RE
SO FAR BEHIND RIGHT NOW.

Narrator: WITH THEIR KING CRAB
SEASON COMPLETE,

THE BILLIKIN LEFT 190 POTS
SOAKING ON THE GROUNDS

FOR THE CORNELIA TO HAUL.

WE'VE BEEN PULLING EVERY FAVOR
THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN RIGHT NOW.

SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT HAULING
OTHER PEOPLE'S POTS

IS CONTROVERSIAL,
BUT, YOU KNOW,

WE'RE EXTREMELY IN A JAM,

AND SO THIS IS JUST
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

Narrator: INSTEAD OF FINDING
CRAB OF THEIR OWN,

JOSH AND CASEY

ARE BANKING ON THE LEFTOVERS
OF ANOTHER BOAT.

I'M PULLING UP
NEXT TO THE BILLIKIN RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE GOING
TO GRAB THE INFORMATION

WITH ALL THE GEAR.

AND THEN,
WE CAN BOOGIE OUT OF HERE.

Narrator:
TO KEEP FROM BROADCASTING

THE LOCATION OF THEIR COVETED
FISHING GROUNDS...

I'M GONNA GRAB A THUMB DRIVE,
GO MEET UP WITH JIMMY

AND LOAD HIS COORDINATES
ONTO MY COMPUTER REAL QUICK.

...CASEY WILL TRANSFER
THE INFO BY HAND.

CASEY'S GONNA GO UP.
HE'S GONNA GET THE COORDINATES

'CAUSE THE MORE
INFO HE CAN GET NOW,

THE BETTER OFF WE ARE
WHEN WE GET OUT ON THE GROUNDS.

HEY, JIMMY.
HEY.

HOW'S IT GOING?
GOOD TO SEE YA.

HOW WE DOING?
NICE TO SEE YOU, SIR.

THANKS, BROTHER.
YEP.

I'M PUTTING ALL THE INFORMATION
ON THIS FLASH DRIVE.

WHEN I LOAD THIS INTO
MY COMPUTER, ALL THESE MARKS

WILL BE LOADED ON TO MY PLOTTER
IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT.

I AM MOVING FILES.

[ MEN CHATTERING ]

IT'S CALLED "KING CRAB 2014."

SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE OWE YOU BIG.
YEAH.

YEAH, WHATEVER WE CAN DO FOR
YOU IN THE FUTURE, MAN,

WE OWE YA 10 AT LEAST.
YEAH. SERIOUSLY.

CATCH THOSE CRABS.
WE WILL. WE WILL.

OKAY, GUYS.
ALL RIGHT, SEE YA.

[ CHATTERING ]

I AM MAKING SURE
EVERYTHING TRANSFERRED WELL,

WHICH IT APPEARS
AS THOUGH IT HAS.

I THINK WE'RE GOLDEN.

WE ARE SOME LUCKY [BLEEP].

WHETHER IT'S GOOD OR BAD,
WE ARE LUCKY.

OKAY. THANKS, GUYS.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

YOU GUYS HAVE A SAFE TRIP HOME.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S BAIL OUT.

CALL IT GOOD.

READY TO ROCK 'N' ROLL!

IT'S BEEN A MONTH
AND A HALF IN THE MAKING,

BUT WE'RE GOING KING CRABBING.

NOW, WE ARE OFFICIALLY ON
OUR WAY TO THE FISHING GROUNDS.

ABOUT A 24,

MAYBE 25-HOUR STEAM NORTHEAST
FROM OUR CURRENT POSITION.

Casey:
I'M JUST HOPING IT PAYS OFF.

Narrator: 230 MILES
FROM DUTCH HARBOR,

ON THE CORNELIA MARIE...

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF PREPARATION
TO GET TO WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.

Narrator:
AFTER A 24-HOUR STEAM,

JOSH HARRIS AND CASEY McMANUS
ARRIVE AT THE CRAB GROUNDS.

WE'RE FISHING
THE BILLIKIN'S GEAR,

AND THAT GEAR'S BEEN
SOAKING FOR DAYS.

READY TO HAUL THE 190 POTS
SET BY THE BILLIKIN.

GOT OUR MARKS PUT IN.
PLOTTERS ALL DIALED IN.

Josh: ZERO DEAD AHEAD?
OH, YEAH.

[BLEEP] YEAH.

2014 FIRST CRAB POT.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN
WAITING FOR [BLEEP] MONTHS NOW.

THIS IS IT.

Narrator: AFTER A WEEK
AND A HALF OF WAITING...

PORT ENGINE'S
RUNNING WELL.

Travis: ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
YOU READY TO DO THIS?

YEAH.
THE CORNELIA MARIE PULLS UP

ON THEIR FIRST POT
OF THE KING SEASON.

2014, BOYS.

MY HEART IS JUST RACING.

WE'RE THE LAST KIDS
TO SHOW UP TO THE PARTY.

WE'RE GONNA CLEAN THIS UP
QUICK AND DIRTY.

MAKE OUR MONEY.

FIRST CRAB POT
OF THE SEASON COMING UP.

TIME TO MAKE SOME MONEY!

RIGHT HERE, COMING UP.

MOMENT OF TRUTH.

[ WHIRRING, MEN SHOUTING ]

RED GLORY.

RED GLORY.

BRING IT!

BRING ME SOME CRAB!
HA HA HA!

RED GLORY, BABY.

LOOKS ALL RIGHT.

YEAH!
[ MEN CHEERING ]

YEAH.
ARE YOU [BLEEP] KIDDING ME?

DUDE, I THINK WE GOT RIDERS
IN THE TUNNEL.

YEAH!
[ CHEERING ]

WE'RE DOING JUST FINE.

LET ME GET OVER HERE
AND SEE WHAT WE GOT.

LOOK AT THAT.
THEY GOT A LOT OF CRABS THERE.

NAH, DUDE.
THAT'S COOL.

COME ON.
GIVE THAT ONE UP.

THAT'S [BLEEP].

THAT'S A [BLEEP]
OF CRAB THERE, BOY.

LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF SMALLS.

There's a lot of barnacle crab.

Narrator: ALTHOUGH THE MEAT
INSIDE IS JUST FINE...

Narrator:
...CRABS WITH BARNACLES

DON'T LOOK
SO GOOD IN A SEAFOOD BUFFET.

Narrator:
CRABS TRAVEL IN LARGE GROUPS,

WITH THE SLOWER AND DIRTIER
CRAB BRINGING UP THE REAR.

IF THESE CRUSTY GUYS
LAND IN YOUR POTS,

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE YOUR GEAR
IS AT THE BACK OF THE PACK.

TRYING TO KNOCK BARNACLES
OF THIS CRAB.

16. WE WERE HOPING FOR A BIGGER
NUMBER THAN THAT, BUT...

A LOT OF CRAB,

BUT A LOT OF THE CRAB
AREN'T GOING IN THE TANKS, SO...

[ MEN SHOUTING ]

THEY'RE ALL [BLEEP] BARNIES.

WHAT DID YOU GET ON THAT ONE?

18.

THE END POTS
YOU CAN NEVER TRUST.

WE'LL SEE WHAT NUMBER WE GET
OUT OF THE THIRD POT HERE.

GOT ONE.

IT'S NOT LOOKING SO GOOD.

SIX.

BARELY ANYTHING IS STAYING
IN THE BOAT RIGHT NOW.

SUCKS.

Narrator: ALTHOUGH THE POTS
ARE COMING UP LOADED...

TRASH. TRASH. TRASH.

...MOST OF THE CRAB
ISN'T WORTH A DIME.

IF WE KEEP FISHING
ON THESE NUMBERS HERE,

IT'S GONNA TAKE A WHILE
TO FINISH THIS SEASON.

[ EXHALES ]

[BLEEP] RIDICULOUS.

WHEN IS THE BILLIKIN GEAR
EVER OUT OF WHACK THAT MUCH?

IT'S BEEN A LITTLE ROUGH.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO
MOVE THIS STUFF OVER.

Narrator: WITH POTS
GETTING WORSE...

THREE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT IT
ON SOME GOOD CRAB.

CASEY'S ONLY CHOICE --
STACK AND MOVE.

I'M LOOKING FOR BIG,
CLEAN CRAB.

MOVE THIS STUFF OVER
AND SET IT OUT WEST.

RIGHT ABOUT A HALF HOUR,
WE'RE GONNA SET 12 OFF.

THEN WE'RE GONNA RUN
ABOUT 12 MINUTES, 15 MINUTES.

THEN WE'RE GONNA SET THE REST.

WE NEED BIGGER NUMBERS.

WE DON'T FEEL LIKE FISHING
UNTIL CHRISTMAS.

YEAH, ONE.

AH, THAT'S BAD.

WE'RE ALREADY
BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL, AND...

WE'RE GONNA TRY TO SEARCH
FOR SOMETHING BETTER

'CAUSE WE NEED BIG NUMBERS
TO FINISH THIS SEASON QUICK.

Narrator: THE NORTHWESTERN
