Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 4 - Super Typhoon Part 1 - full transcript

Man: EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.

WHAT HAPPENS
IN ONE PART OF THE WORLD

HAS AN IMPACT ON THE OTHER.

THE REMNANTS OF TYPHOON NURI
ARE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST,

ARE GONNA COMBINE WITH ENERGY,

AND PRODUCE THIS POWERFUL STORM
IN THE BERING SEA.

IT'S BLOWING [BLEEP] 50 MILES
AN HOUR IN 25-FOOT SEAS.

IT'S [BLEEP] LIFE OR DEATH
UP HERE, MAN.

Man: WE HAVEN'T SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

COMMERCIAL FISHING FLEETS ARE
GONNA WANT TO STAY IN FOR THIS.

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE THE BIG, LAZY SWELL



IS ROLLING IN
FROM THE SOUTHWEST --

A PRELUDE
TO THIS STORM THAT'S COMING.

Sig:
DON'T LET THIS FOOL YOU, MAN.

THIS IS JUST THE CALM
BEFORE IT COMES.

WATCH! WATCH OUT!
WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT!

GET DOWN!
WATCH OUT!

WATCH OUT!

YOU OKAY?

YOU OKAY?

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Sig: RED SKIES.

ANYTIME YOU SEE IT,
YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING.

Narrator: THREE WEEKS
INTO KING CRAB SEASON...

Sig:
47-FOOT SEAS, 55-KNOT WINDS.



SO THE STORM'S TRACKING EAST.

Narrator:
...A BERING SEA NIGHTMARE

LURKS JUST BEYOND THE HORIZON.

700, 800 MILES,

AND IT'S OUT HERE,
AND IT'S REALLY WREAKING HAVOC.

Man: SUPER TYPHOON NURI.

Woman: THE EX-NURI BOMB
COULD SET A RECORD

FOR THE LOWEST PRESSURE
IN THE BERING SEA,

AROUND 920 MILLIBARS.

IT'S ONE MONSTROUS SYSTEM.

Keith: YEAH, WE GOT OUR FIRST
[BLEEP] STORM COMING UP,

BUT IT'S ABOUT THREE DAYS OUT.

YOU GOT TO GET WORK DONE
WHILE IT'S NICE.

Narrator: SUPER TYPHOON NURI
CLOSES IN ON THE FLEET...

"...A MOUNTAIN
OF COLD AIR

AND CAUSE A VIOLENT EXPLOSION
OF METEOROLOGICAL ENERGY.

THIS IS GONNA GO LOWER
THAN HURRICANE ANDREW."

...BOASTING RECORD LOW PRESSURE

THAT COULD DEVASTATE
THE GROUNDS.

Johnathan: TRY TO BEAT
A CLASS-FIVE HURRICANE.

I GOT TO GET THESE ABOARD
FAST AS I CAN

AND RUN LIKE A MOTHER[BLEEP]

Narrator: 206 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

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

Bill: COME ON, BABY.
SHOW ME SOME LOVE HERE.

MAN: Oh, yeah!

KABOOM! CHA-CHING!

YEAH!

WHOO!

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN
"WILD" BILL WICHROWSKI

HAS BEEN ON THE CRAB
FOR TWO DAYS.

WHOO!

LET'S GET
THIS [BLEEP] DONE!

NOW HE'S READY
TO TOP OFF HIS TANKS

AND CLOSE OUT HIS KING SEASON.

GONNA FINISH THIS [BLEEP] UP
AND GET ON DOWN THE ROAD.

THE ROAD.

IN A WAY, I'M FORTUNATE
WE GOT ON WHAT WE HAVE ON,

BECAUSE IT'S ALL OVER THE NEWS

THAT THERE'S A SUPER TYPHOON
FORMING SOUTH OF JAPAN,

AND PROJECTED MODELS
SHOW IT COMING THROUGH HERE

WITHIN THE WEEK.

IT'S GONNA BE POTENTIALLY
THE LOWEST LOW PRESSURE

IN RECORDED HISTORY,

AND LOW PRESSURE
IS [BLEEP] WEATHER.

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

THAT'S ALL THE RED CRAB
WE'LL BE HARVESTING, SO...

Narrator: WITH THE LAST
OF THE RED CRAB CAUGHT,

THE SKIPPER
AIMS TO STACK HIS GEAR

AND GET TO TOWN BEFORE NURI HIT.

Bill:
THIS IS THE END OF HARVEST,

SO WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO.

YEAH, WE GOT 71 POTS
DOWN HERE TO THE SOUTH

WE NEED TO STACK.

IN SEA CONDITIONS LIKE THIS,

IT'S DIFFICULT ENOUGH
TO DRIVE THIS THING,

LET ALONE WITH
THIS STACK OF GEAR ON IT.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THESE POT TIES ARE TIED GOOD

AND THE POTS ARE IN THERE GOOD,
YOU KNOW?

Narrator: 23-YEAR-OLD GREENHORN
MYLES JOHNSON

GETS A FEW POINTERS

BEFORE HEADING OUT FOR HIS FIRST
STACK IN HEAVY SEAS.

YOU REALLY NEED
TO TAKE YOUR TIME.

THREE OR MORE POT TIES.

I DON'T CARE HOW MANY POT TIES
YOU PUT ON THEM,

ON THE POTS, AS LONG AS YOU PUT
THREE OR MORE, OKAY?

DON'T [BLEEP] GET LAZY UP THERE
OR DOWN HERE.

[BLEEP] WE'RE ALL WORRIED ABOUT
THE UPPER STACK.

NO.

Bill:
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THESE.

Myles:
YEAH, I'M NERVOUS.

MY FIRST TIME DOING THE STACK
IN THIS [BLEEP] WEATHER.

Narrator: NEW ASSIGNMENTS

HAVEN'T ALWAYS WORKED OUT
FOR MYLES.

Man: GET THAT POT,
GREENHORN!

Bill: MAN DOWN. MAN DOWN.

Narrator: HE TOOK
AN 800-POUND POT TO THE FACE

ON HIS FIRST TIME AT THE RAIL.

NOW THE RETURNING GREENHORN
IS A LITTLE GUN-SHY.

Bill: MYLES HAD SOME ISSUES
WITH BEING AFRAID LAST SEASON.

WE'VE SEEN THIS PATTERN
IN HIM BEFORE,

BUT IT JUST COMES
WITH EXPERIENCE.

BERING SEA DECIDED TO GET

A LITTLE BIT PISSED OFF
RIGHT NOW.

Bill: IT'S COMING UP.

FROM HERE ON OUT, IT'S REAL NOW.

Narrator: HAVING REACHED
THEIR KING CRAB QUOTA,

THE CREW RETURNS THE REMAINING
CRAB FROM WHENCE THEY CAME.

BE REAL CAREFUL.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE WATER.

DON'T TURN YOUR BACK.

Man: DUMP THEM OUT!
DUMP THEM OUT!

HE'S [BLEEP] SCARED [BLEEP] BRO.

Bill: WELL, YOU KNOW, MYLES
IS A NEWBIE TO THE STACK GAME,

AND BOAT'S ROLLING AROUND,

SO WHEN THE POT'S COMING BACK,

A POT CAN TAKE
SOME PRETTY WILD TURNS,

AND HE'S GOT TO GET A TIE ON IT
AND SECURE THE POT

BEFORE HE UNDOES THE CRANE,

OR THE POT CAN BECOME
A PROJECTILE.

Myles: I'M JUST TRYING TO GO
AS FAST AS I CAN ON THE STACK,

BECAUSE I'M GETTING YELLED AT
EITHER WAY IF I'M --

YOU KNOW, NICK TOLD ME, "TAKE
YOUR TIME AND DO IT RIGHT,"

BUT WHEN I TAKE MY TIME
AND DO IT RIGHT,

I GET MY ASS CHEWED.

FEEL LIKE THAT'S STUFF
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY,

"GO FASTER."

Bill:
SHOWS YOU HIS INEXPERIENCE.

I GOT A BLOW HERE

THAT MIGHT BE
THE MOST EPIC STORM

IN RECORDED [BLEEP] HISTORY.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
WE GOT TO LOAD THEM UP AND GO.

Narrator: 15 MILES SOUTH...

...ABOARD THE 155-FOOT WIZARD.

ONE MORE TIME.

MAN: Five-three.

FIVE-THREE. OKAY.

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME

BEFORE THE BIG, LAZY SWELL

IS ROLLING IN
FROM THE SOUTHWEST --

A PRELUDE
TO THIS STORM THAT'S COMING.

Narrator: CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN

BRACES FOR THE ONSLAUGHT
OF TYPHOON NURI.

GONNA BE REALLY NASTY OUT HERE,

'CAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BLOW
45, MAYBE 50, 50-PLUS.

GOT TO GET WORK DONE
WHILE IT'S NICE.

AND WE ARE BEHIND.

KEVIN, HE'S HELPING US
BY BEING OUT THERE,

BUT WE CAN'T WORK THROUGH A TRIP
WITH A GUY AT HALF SPEED.

Narrator: FIVE DAYS
AFTER INJURING HIS BACK,

DECKHAND KEVIN STAFFORD
CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE ON DECK.

WE HAVE NO PROBLEM
STEPPING IT UP

when a team member's down.

Tell you right now,

for as hard as we're working,
it ain't worth it.

Keith:
MORALE IS REALLY LOW ON DECK,

AND KEVIN'S NOT GETTING
ANY BETTER.

HE'S NOT PAYING ATTENTION
TO ANYTHING.

HE'S JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW
[BLEEP] SORE HE IS, YOU KNOW?

HE'S NOT [BLEEP] MAKING
AN EFFORT.

HE'S NOT WILLING TO TRY

AND MOVE HIS HANDS
A LITTLE BIT FASTER.

EVERYTHING HE DOES, HE'S DOING
LIKE FRANKENSTEIN, YOU KNOW?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO MOVE YOUR BACK
ANY FASTER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEND OVER.

WHAT?

I mean, yeah, in a way,

because it sucks
to be out here hurt, but...

HEY!
LISTEN TO ME, MAN.

I JUST WATCHED YOU
FOR FIVE POTS IN A ROW

DO NOTHING
EXCEPT DO THIS...

STARE AT THE BAIT,
STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DECK.

IF YOU'RE GONNA WALK UP HERE,
STUFF A [BLEEP]DAMN JUG OR 10.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING.
I'VE BEEN STU--

I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU.
YOUR HEAD'S NOT HERE.

I'M STANDING UP FOR YOU
FOR [BLEEP] SAKE.

I GOT A WHOLE CREW THAT'S ABOUT
READY TO [BLEEP] MUTINY.

PLEASE HELP ME, TOO.

STUFF LIKE A MOTHER[BLEEP]
DO YOUR HANDS HURT?

THAT'S ALL I'M TRYING TO DO,
BOSS.

I'M NOT SEEING IT,
AND THEY'RE NOT SEEING IT.

ALL THEY'RE DOING IS
RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND YOU.

HALF THE TIME,
THEY HAVE TO DODGE YOU,

BECAUSE YOU'RE STANDING IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE [BLEEP] DECK.

I DON'T REALLY LIKE THAT AT ALL,
ACTUALLY.

LOOKED LIKE AN ASS-CHEWING.

SHOULD'VE HAPPENED DAYS AGO.

I guess it's time
when it's time.

Keith: THE BOTTOM LINE IS

WORKING AT 20% TO 30% SPEED
DURING THE STORM

IS A LIABILITY TO THE BOAT,

AND IT'S A LIABILITY
TO THE CREW.

GOOD NEWS IS
OUR NEW DECKHAND'S COMING.

Narrator:
KEITH HAS HIRED A NEW DECKHAND

TO STABILIZE HIS CREW.

Keith: HE'S ALREADY ON HIS WAY.

SO SEE IF I CAN FIND A BOAT
TO BRING MY NEW CREWMAN OUT.

Narrator: PROBLEM IS
HE'S A DAY'S STEAM,

ALL THE WAY BACK
IN DUTCH HARBOR.

Keith: THE SAGA WENT BY HERE
ABOUT A DAY AGO.

I'M GONNA GIVE ELLIOTT A CALL,
SEE IF HE'S IN TOWN

AND IF HE'S HEADING OUT
ANYTIME SOON.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

AND THAT'LL SAVE US
A FULL DAY IN TOWN

NOT HAVING TO SIT
AT THE DOCK WAITING.

MR. WIZARD.

KEITH: Hey, you know what?
I got a huge favor to ask.

One of my crewmen
on here's banged up,

so I've got a crewman
flying in to town,

AND I BELIEVE YOU'RE PROBABLY
HEADING BACK OUT TO FISH.

If there's a way
I can get him on your boat

and we could transfer him
out here, it would be awesome.

YEAH, I'M IN TOWN.
I'M GETTING READY TO OFFLOAD.

I'LL BE TAKING OFF LATE TONIGHT,
EARLY IN THE MORNING.

My only concern is it's gonna be
like 20-some foot seas.

I WILL NOT ASK YOU
TO DO ANYTHING

THAT I WOULDN'T DO MYSELF.

You don't have to come to me.
I'll come to you.

OKAY.

I'll give you a shout
when we leave tonight,

and let you know kind of
our ETA.

All right.
Okay. Bye.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GONNA
TAKE SOMEBODY OUT TO MR. WIZARD.

HE'S GOT A GREENHORN
IN TOWN HERE.

SOMEBODY ON HIS BOAT
GOT HURT OR SOMETHING,

AND HE WANTS US
TO BRING OUT HIS NEW GUY.

AND I TOLD KEITH

THAT THE WEATHER
CONCERNED ME A LITTLE BIT,

'CAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
20-SOME FOOT SEAS,

AND I'M NOT TRANSFERRING ANYBODY
IN THAT KIND OF WEATHER.

SEE HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT.

Narrator: DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA,

ON THE 107-FOOT SAGA...

UM, YOU CAN HAVE...

YOU CAN HAVE
THIS TOP BUNK.

...CAPTAIN ELLIOTT NEESE PICKS
UP A PACKAGE FOR THE WIZARD...

THERE'S NO BOOTS AND
NO RAIN GEAR PAST THAT DOOR.

CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF.

...37-YEAR-OLD
ROBERT "GET 'ER DONE" SANDERS.

Robert: RIDE ON THE SAGA TO
GET FLOATED OVER TO THE WIZARD.

I GUESS SOMEBODY GOT HURT.
TRYING TO HELP THEM OUT.

GREAT CREW. GREAT CREW.
IT'S GONNA BE FUN.

Narrator: ON DECK...

GET A PICTURE OF OUR CRAB?
YEAH.

MAKING MONEY NOW.

YEAH, MAKING MONEY.

Narrator: ...WHILE OFF-LOADING
THEIR CRAB...

Elliott: IT'S GONNA TAKE
ABOUT SIX HOURS TO OFFLOAD,

SO WE GET THE WINCH FIXED.

Narrator: ...THE CREW
TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY

TO REPAIR
THEIR BROKEN BOOM WINCH.

Mike: ALL WE GOT TO IS
PUT IT UP THERE,

PUT THE HYDROS UP,
WE'RE GOOD TO GO.

I THINK.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS.

BOTTOM LINE --

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS
YOU HAVE TO HAVE

IN ANY KIND OF ROUGH WEATHER,

SO, YEAH, THIS HAS TO BE DONE.

Narrator:
THE WORK GETS UNDERWAY...

CAN YOU TELL BY THE GRIN?

...BUT ENGINEER SCOTT BADGER...

I LOVE TOWN.

TOWN'S MY FAVORITE SPOT.

SCOTT DOESN'T DO WELL IN TOWN,
THOUGH.

TOWN AND SCOTT
DO NOT GET ALONG.

...HAS OTHER PLANS.

SCOTT GETS IN TROUBLE
WHEN HE GOES TO TOWN.

TOWN AND SCOTT
GET ALONG WAY TOO WELL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHERE'S SCOTT?

WE SHOULD BE
GETTING [BLEEP] DONE.

Man:
LOOK AT ALL MY CRAB.

LOOK AT ALL THE CRAB.
LOOK AT ALL MY CRABS.

THIS IS OURS.
THIS IS ALL OURS.

WE'RE SELLING IT TO THEM.
PRETTY MUCH LIKE A DRUG DEAL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

MONEY OVER HAND.

[ CELLPHONE DIALING ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Scott: HEY, WHAT'S UP?
GET HER HANDLED?

ALL RIGHT.
ABOUT HOW MUCH?

I NEED A PIECE OF --
DIRTY, I NEED A PIECE OF LINE!

YEAH.

I'M JUST [BLEEP] DYING, MAN.

I'M DYING SO [BLEEP] BAD
RIGHT NOW.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THE CRAB LOOKS GOOD.

THE OFF-LOAD'S GOING GOOD.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Scott: IT'S ME.

YOU GOT...?

WHERE'S ELLIOTT AT?

COMING RIGHT NOW.

SIX-ZERO.
YES.

GONNA HAVE TO RIG THEM.

I MIGHT JUST GO UP
TO THE RESTAURANT

AND GO HAVE MYSELF SOME DINNER

SINCE I'M THE ONLY [BLEEP] GUY
ENGINEERING HERE RIGHT NOW.

I EXPECTED A LITTLE MORE.

Narrator: FIVE HOURS LATER...

THAT'S ABOUT IT RIGHT THERE,
JEFF.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S WORKING.
IT'S SAFE.

YEAH, JUST LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE.
THAT'LL MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASY.

Narrator:
...THE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE.

OKAY. I GUESS
WE GOT TO WAIT A WHILE.

NOW THE CREW
IS WAITING ON THEIR CAPTAIN.

Mike:
IT'S 11:00. WHAT HAPPENED?

[ SNORING ]

TO ALL YOU VIEWERS
OUT THERE...

THIS IS CHIEF.

HE'S SLEEPING ON THE JOB.

YEAH.

EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS
POSITIVELY OUT AT SEA

CAN ALL BE SWEPT AWAY
WITH THE WRONG MOVE AT THE DOCK.

TOO MANY GUYS LOSE THEIR JOBS

'CAUSE THEY GET TO THE DOCK,
YOU KNOW,

AND THEY GO TO THE BAR OR
THEY JUST DISAPPEAR, YOU KNOW?

SO, I THINK
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

Mike: MOST CRAB BOATS I WORK ON,

THE SKIPPER WORKS
AS HARD AS THE CREW.

AND WE COME INTO PORT,

AND WE'RE WORKING
A LOT OF HOURS,

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST KIND OF
GET WRUNG OUT AFTER A WHILE.

SO A LOT OF FATIGUE
GOING ON HERE,

A LOT OF GUYS
WORKING LONG HOURS.

AND IF SOMETIMES THERE'S
POOR JUDGMENT INVOLVED,

YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY HE DOESN'T
FALL OFF THE WAGON.

Narrator:
ALSO IN PORT FOR AN OFF-LOAD...

Jake:
I HEARD SAGA WAS IN TOWN,

AND NICK AND I ARE GONNA GO
HAVE A LITTLE VISIT,

SEE OUR FRIEND SCOTT BADGER.

Narrator:
...NORTHWESTERN CREWMEN
JAKE ANDERSON AND NICK MAVAR

FOLLOW UP ON RUMORS
FLOATING AROUND TOWN.

WE JUST HAVEN'T BEEN HEARING
VERY GOOD THINGS AT ALL,

AND WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT SCOTT.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE HAD
A COUPLE DRINKS.

HE JUST DIDN'T SEEM THE SAME
AND WASN'T WITH ELLIOTT.

Jake:
HE'S A GOOD PERSON.

HE JUST MAKES
A LOT OF MISTAKES, SO...

I MEAN,
ELLIOTT IS OKAY TO ME.

I DON'T REALLY CARE.

SCOTT FISHES WITH ME
IN BRISTOL BAY.

HE'S BEEN CLEAN AND SOBER
FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS,

AND SOBRIETY SHOULD BE
PRETTY EASY UP HERE.

WE'RE JUST CONCERNED.

EVERYBODY DESERVES A CHANCE.
EVERYBODY DESERVES 100 CHANCES.

Nick Mavar: HEY!

[ LAUGHS ]

I HEARD YOU --
I HEARD --

YEAH, DAMN RIGHT.
YOU LOOK [BLEEP]

WERE YOU DOWNSTAIRS?
YEAH.

YES.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU LIKE IT? ARE YOU HAPPY
WITH YOUR DECISION?

YEAH.

YEAH, I AM. YEAH.

WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.
YOU TELL ME.

YOU KNOW.

DON'T LAUGH.
NO, I'M SERIOUS.

I KNOW.

ARE YOU CLEAN?

YES. OF COURSE.

YOU TOLD ME NO.

[BLEEP] TIGHT. IT'S ALL GOOD.
YOU KNOW, AND --

NO. IT'S NOT TIGHT,
AND I'M PISSED.

IT IS, AND --

IT'S NOT TIGHT.

KINDA? OKAY.
THAT DOESN'T --

WHEN WE LEFT,
YOU WERE DOING GREAT.

STOP IT.
JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.

GET DONE WITH THIS.
AND IT'S OVER.

I KNOW.
OKAY?

AND I -- YOU KNOW WHAT?
AND I-I LIKE THIS GUY.

I KNOW YOU LIKE HIM.
YOU LIKE HIM TOO MUCH.

YOU REMEMBER
WHEN WE HAD A TALK ABOUT THIS?

YEP.

THIS GUY'S A RIGHT FELLA HERE,
MAN, AND HE'S --

GET IT TOGETHER.

HEY, HEY.

HOW'S IT GOING?

YOU TWO COME HANG OUT
ON A REAL CRAB BOAT, HUH?

YEAH, RIGHT.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

KEEPING AN EYE ON HIM?

I'M KEEPING AN EYE
ON EVERYBODY.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

I WANT YOU TO.

[BLEEP] YEAH.

TIGHT, DUDE!

WHAT THE --
I DIDN'T THINK

IT WAS GONNA BE
[BLEEP] THIS NICE, DUDE.

I KNOW.

I JUST CAME
TO [BLEEP] CHECK ON YOU, DUDE.

I WAS HEARING [BLEEP] RUMORS,
YOU KNOW?

UP HERE,
PEOPLE LIKE TO TALK.

YEAH.

YEAH, THAT'S --
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING

IS THAT YOU'VE BEEN
[BLEEP] PARTYING AND [BLEEP]

I DON'T KNOW.

THINGS ARE -- THINGS ARE
A LITTLE BETTER NOW.

IT COMES AND GOES.

I DON'T [BLEEP] KNOW,

AND I'M NOT HERE TO [BLEEP]
TELL YOU ANYTHING, BUT...

YOU'VE DONE
A LOT OF [BLEEP] DUDE,

IN YOUR TIME.

YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
A LOT OF [BLEEP]

I THINK YOU'RE [BLEEP] COOL
AS [BLEEP] THOUGH, MAN.

I REALLY DO.

I THINK THE SAME THING
ABOUT YOU.

THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS KEEP
OFFERING YOU TO DRIVE MY BOAT.

YOU KEEP TURNING ME DOWN.

[ CHUCKLES ]
[BLEEP]

I DON'T WANT TO
TROUBLE YOU ANYMORE.

YOU'RE ALWAYS MORE THAN WELCOME
TO COME OVER ANY TIME.

SURE.
YEAH, MAN.

IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU DOING GOOD.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

Elliott: LET'S DO IT.
HEAD BACK OUT.

Jake:
HEY, SEE YOU, BRO!

LOVE YOU GUYS!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

Jake: EVERYTHING THAT I WANT
AT HIS FINGERTIPS.

HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD
BY THE BALLS,

AND IT'S
SLOWLY SLIPPING AWAY.

AND HE DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW IT.

I'D HATE TO SEE SOMETHING BAD
HAPPEN TO HIM.

Narrator: 205 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR

IS THE CAPE CAUTION.

Bill: I HOPE WE'LL HAVE
THIS ALL OUT OF THE WATER

BEFORE WE GET ANY SURPRISES.

Narrator:
CAPTAIN "WILD" BILL WICHROWSKI

IS ON A MISSION TO STACK AND RUN
BEFORE TYPHOON NURI HITS.

WE GOT 23 POTS LEFT,
AND THE TYPHOON'S COMING.

HOPEFULLY WE'RE OUT OF HERE

BEFORE THE BEGINNING
OF THE APOCALYPSE.

GONNA HAVE TO SPIN IT
MORE THAN THAT!

Myles:
IT'S PRETTY GNARLY UP HERE.

Man: GET THAT POT!

Bill: MYLES IS IN THE STACK.

HE MOVED INTO A SPOT
THAT WAS KIND OF NEW TO HIM.

NO, IT WASN'T KIND OF NEW.
IT WAS VERY NEW TO HIM.

Narrator:
WITH THE SUPER TYPHOON BUILDING,

GREENHORN MYLES JOHNSON
GETS TESTED ON THE STACK.

MYLES IS KIND OF AWKWARD
ON THE STACK.

YOU KNOW HOW
A NEWBORN BABY WALKS?

HE'S LIKE THAT.

Myles: YEAH, IT'S SCARY UP HERE.
I AIN'T GONNA LIE.

50 MILES AN HOUR
AND 25-FOOT SEAS.

IT'S [BLEEP] LIFE OR DEATH
UP HERE, MAN.

I WAS THE SAME WAY.

I DIDN'T DO VERY GOOD ON THE --
I HATED THE STACK.

YOU'RE WAY ABOVE THE LIGHTS.

GUYS ARE [BLEEP] UP FOR DAYS,
SWINGING POTS AT YOU.

THE STACK WOULD BE GOING,
CH-CH-CH, CH-CH-CH-CH.

IT SUCKS BEING ON THE STACK,

BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF
THE POSITION HE'S IN.

YOU KNOW,
HE'S KIND OF THE THIRD GUY.

THAT'S THE THIRD
OUT OF THE FOURTH SPOT

IS UP ON THE STACK.

YOU KNOW, IT'S HIS FIRST SHOT
AT GETTING THE TOP STACK ON,

AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG
WITH WHAT HE'S DOING.

UM...HE'S STILL ON BOARD.
I DON'T KNOW.

PLAYING WITH THE WEATHER
RIGHT NOW.

Man:
EVERYTHING'S ALWAYS TIED DOWN,

BUT YOU WANT TO DOUBLE-CHECK,
TRIPLE-CHECK STUFF RIGHT NOW

TO MAKE SURE
STUFF DOESN'T FLY AROUND.

YEAH, SEE --

ONE, TWO, THREE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

HUH.

MAN: Three ties on every pot

means three ties on every pot.

Just because you got one here
and one here --

that's two, all right?

I mean, it's too late now.

You know how to count to three.

Well, that's the deal.
What's the excuse?

No. Every pot has three ties.

SO, IF YOU MISS
GETTING A POT TIGHT,

THE BOAT STARTS ROLLING
VIOLENTLY,

THEN THE WHOLE STACK
SHIFTS OVER,

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.

AND IT SHIFTS
WHERE THE WEIGHT IS.

Narrator:
POTS THAT AREN'T SECURE

RISK THE STABILITY OF THE BOAT.

THE WAY IT IS,
ESPECIALLY FOR A NEW GUY,

IS THREE TIES.

AND HOW A GUY
WOULD DECIDE ON TWO

WHEN YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ON
THE STACK BEFORE IS BEYOND ME.

MAKING PROGRESS,

AND THEN TURNS AROUND
AND THIS [BLEEP] SURFACES, SO...

WELL, WE'RE CHAIN THE [BLEEP]
OUT OF IT ON THE WAY IN.

OKAY, THIS IS THE LAST ONE.

CHAINS ARE GONNA KEEP THE POTS
ATTACHED TO THE BOAT,

BUT THEY'RE GONNA KEEP THEM
WHERE THEY NEED TO BE

AND IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

[ GROANS ]

YOU [BLEEP] NEWBIE.

THIS TEACHES YOU
IF YOU DON'T DO THE JOB RIGHT,

THERE'S CONSEQUENCES.

YOU'RE AT THE MERCY
OF THE OCEAN.

YOU KNOW,
IT MIGHT COST US OUR LIFE, TOO,

SO THAT SHOULD MOTIVATE A GUY
NOT TO MISCOUNT THE POT TIES.

IT'S CAUSE
FOR AN ASS-WHUPPING, MAN.

Nick McGlashan: YOU KNOW, MYLES,
I MEAN, WE TOLD YOU BEFORE --

THREE [BLEEP] POT TIES
ON EVERY POT,

ESPECIALLY
IN WEATHER LIKE THIS.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND UP THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU DON'T LISTEN TO US

OR WHY
YOU'RE NOT DOING IT.

IT'S NOT A GAME UP THERE.
IT'S OUR [BLEEP] LIFE.

THAT'S WHY WE TELL YOU
TO DO THESE THINGS.

THREE TIES TO EVERY POT.

JUST BE AN [BLEEP] ONE TIME,
THESE GUYS WILL FIGURE IT OUT.

WE NEED HIM TO FIGURE IT OUT.

Narrator: 15 MILES SOUTH...

[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]

...ABOARD THE WIZARD...

Keith: COMING UP HERE.

SO, YOU SEE THAT STORM IS

30-, 40-MILES-AN-HOUR WORTH
OF WIND OUT HERE.

IT'S STARTING TO COME UP
THE CHAIN NOW.

WE'RE LUCKY RIGHT NOW
THAT WE GOT A WINDOW OF WEATHER

WHERE WE CAN GET ROBERT
"GET 'ER DONE" ON THE BOAT,

SO WE BETTER GET
OUR BUTTS IN GEAR.

Narrator: WITH SUPER TYPHOON
NURI FAST APPROACHING...

THE SOONER WE GET
ANOTHER SET OF HANDS OUT THERE

TO GET THE ROTATION
BACK IN PLACE, THE BETTER.

WE'RE GONNA DO A TRANSFER
WITH ELLIOTT.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN

HAS ONLY HOURS
TO RETRIEVE HIS DECKHAND

BEFORE THE WEATHER
MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE.

TO COMPLETE THE HAND-OFF,

THE CREW BUILDS
A MAKESHIFT RAFT.

Keith: WE GOT TO MAKE SURE

THAT THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY SET UP PERFECTLY

SO THAT EVEN IT'S IDIOT-PROOF.

Keith: YEAH,
IT'S A LITTLE BIT BOUNCY.

Monte: GET 'ER DONE'S
GONNA BE COMING OUT ON THE WHAT?

YOU SAY THE SAGA?
YEAH.

RIGHT THERE.

BUT HE'S -- AT LEAST HE'S
IN THE GENERAL VICINITY

OF WHERE
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MEET.

PUT THAT ONE ON.
16 WAVE.

[ RADIO BEEPING ]

Elliott,
this is Keith on the Wizard.

[ Static ]

Hello? Anybody there?

THAT'S THE WIZARD RIGHT THERE,
ISN'T IT?

UH, WIZARD, SAGA.

What's going on?
How's it going?

WE'RE DOING OKAY.

I'VE ALREADY GOT A POT ALREADY
RIGGED OVER HERE TO PUT HIM ON,

so what I'd like to do is
just dump the pot,

let you pick it up,

pull the whole shebang
on board,

GET HIM ALL SET UP,

and then put the pot
in the water.

YOU WITH ME SO FAR?

YEAH. ROGER. YEAH.

AND THEN, UH...

I MEAN,
THE MAIN THING IS

THAT ROBERT STAYS
ON A VESSEL SOMEHOW.

[ CHUCKLES ] THAT'S --
THAT'S THE PRIMARY GOAL HERE.

YEAH, ROGER.

GO AHEAD AND PUT THE POT
IN THE WATER THERE.

Elliott: ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

WE NEED SOMEONE AT THE RAIL
WITH A HOOK.

I'M GONNA PULL UP ON HERE.

SOUNDS GOOD.

THERE WITH THE BUOYS, HUH?

THERE'S THE BAGS!

YOU KNOW I'M GONNA WANT THE HOT
TIP ON WHERE THE BAIRDI ARE

FOR DOING THIS, KEITH.

Don't worry.
I'll take care of you.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

WE'RE GONNA PUT THE POT
ON THE RACK.

Kyle: AAAH! [BLEEP]

Man: MAN DOWN!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

DID SOMEBODY GET HURT
ON OUR BOAT?

[ GROANS ] [BLEEP]

Narrator: 210 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

PUT THE POT IN THE RACK.

Kyle: AAAH! [BLEEP]

Man: MAN DOWN!

Elliott: WHAT'S GOING ON?

DID SOMEBODY GET HURT
ON OUR BOAT?

[BLEEP]

YOU GOT AN ICE PACK?

IS HE OKAY?

Man: As that happened,

I COULD FEEL IT
THROUGH THE STEEL.

I COULD FEEL HIS ARM
GETTING CRUSHED.

HEY, HIS ARM GOT BROKE?

It's probably broken,
most likely broken.

DUDE, WHAT THE [BLEEP]

Narrator: IN THE MIDST
OF AN AT-SEA TRANSFER...

Kyle: AAAH! [BLEEP]

MAN DOWN!

...DECKHAND KYLE HAWK'S ARM

GETS CRUSHED BETWEEN
TWO 800-POUND POTS.

MAN DOWN!

ELLIOTT: Well, no good deed
goes unpunished, I guess.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY
OVER THERE?

UH, POT
CAME OVER THE RAIL,

AND A GUY
HAD HIS HAND IN THERE

AND LOOK LIKE YOU BROKE
ONE OF MY GUYS' ARMS.

NO [BLEEP] WAY.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

Nope. Not kidding you.

I GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS.
HANG ON.

[ SIGHS ]

WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOT THE GUY
IN THE WATER YET,

AND WE'RE ALREADY HAVING
COMPLICATIONS

WITH THIS SCENARIO.

OH [BLEEP] MY LIFE.

[BLEEP]

WE'LL GET HIM INSIDE.

MOTHER[BLEEP]

HERE. TAKE ONE OF THOSE [BLEEP]
THINGS DOWN.

JUST DOESN'T WANT TO
[BLEEP] BE HERE.

HE WANTS TO GET
A FREE [BLEEP] RIDE.

I'VE SEEN IT
A MILLION [BLEEP] TIMES.

[BLEEP] HAD A FEELING
THAT WAS GONNA [BLEEP] HAPPEN.

I'VE SEEN THE GUYS
[BLEEP] DO THAT.

THEY WANT TO GO HOME.

THEY DO SOMETHING [BLEEP] STUPID
TO [BLEEP] GO HOME.

OH [BLEEP] [BLEEP]

SHH, SHH.
LISTEN. KEEP CALM.

[BLEEP]
LISTEN. KEEP CALM.

DUDE, WHAT THE [BLEEP]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

READY? NICE AND SLOW, MIKE.
NICE AND SLOW.

OW.

AAH!

YOU CAN'T EVEN TRANSFER
A [BLEEP] GUY

WITHOUT BREAKING SOMEONE'S ARM.

DAMN. WE'LL TRY
CLIMBING OVER THE STACK.

HEY, I GUESS YOU GUYS
TRY CLIMBING OVER.

IT'S NOT THAT [BLEEP] HARD.

GRAB ME A JUG OF WATER, TOO.
HERE YOU GO.

[ GROANS ] [BLEEP]

THAT'S PAIN, MAN.

SEE, THAT REBAR DOESN'T GIVE,
BUT YOUR BONES WILL.

THAT'S THAT QUICK
HOW THAT [BLEEP] CAN HAPPEN.

THE LAST THING I HEARD
WAS A BROKEN ARM.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY,
HOPEFULLY?

EVERYTHING LINES UP.

IT'S NOT LIKE EVERYTHING'S
OUT OF PLACE, BUT, UH...

UH, WE'LL FIND OUT MORE HERE
IN A LITTLE WHILE.

All right.
Man, I'm sorry to hear that.

WE GOT TO FINISH UP
WHAT WE'RE DOING

OR WHATEVER
WE'RE GONNA DO HERE

AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT
AFTERWARDS, OKAY?

JUST GIVE IT A MINUTE.
WE'LL, UH, KICK THAT POT OVER.

[BLEEP]

THAT [BLEEP] SUCKS.

Monte: YEAH.

HEY, GO AHEAD
AND PUT THE POT IN THE WATER.

Monte: ALL RIGHT.

THEY'RE PUTTING THAT THING
IN THE WATER.

OH, RIGHT ON.

Keith: WE'RE GONNA GET ROBERT
BACK FIRST, THEN THE POT.

AND THEN WE'LL REEL IN
THE REST OF THAT STUFF, OKAY?

BE CAREFUL ON THE BLOCK THERE.

CAREFUL.
USE YOUR FEET.

USE YOUR FEET.
USE YOUR FEET.

THERE YOU GO.
YEAH, BABY.

GET 'ER DONE,
WELCOME ABOARD.

ALL RIGHT.

ELLIOTT: Nice job, Keith.

I'M GONNA GO TAKE CARE
OF WHAT I GOT GOING ON HERE.

THANKS, ELLIOTT.
YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR, MAN.

I HOPE YOUR GUY'S OKAY.

Yeah, yeah.
No problem there.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MAN.

YEAH.

Edgar: WHAT STARTED OUT
AS DOING SOMEBODY A FAVOR

HAS REALLY [BLEEP] ME NOW.

[BLEEP]

[ GROANS ]

Jeff:
I'M SICK OF THIS [BLEEP]

EVERY TIME SOMETHING BAD
HAPPENS ON THE BOAT,

IT'S ALWAYS
SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT.

[BLEEP]

GOT SOME PERSONAL ISSUES
THAT ARE GOING ON.

I DON'T KNOW.

I NEED TO TAKE
A LITTLE [BLEEP] --

TAKE A LITTLE --
TAKE FIVE MYSELF.

Narrator: FOR THE WIZARD
AND THE NORTHWESTERN,

GETTING A JUMP
ON THE BAIRDI GROUNDS PAYS OFF.

Karl:
I GOT TO LEARN HOW TO COOK.

Narrator: NORTHWESTERN GREENHORN
KARL RASMUSSEN

LEARNS THE SUBTLETIES
OF BERING SEA CUISINE.

Karl:
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.

Jake: OH, WHAT?!

ARE YOU BAKING
MICROWAVE FOOD, KARL?

YOU CAN'T BAKE
MICROWAVE FOOD.

WELL, IT'S NOT BEING MICROWAVED,
SO IT'S FINE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

Matt: THEY'RE STILL A LITTLE
COLD IN THE CENTER.

JUST THROW IT ON THE TABLE.
THEY'LL EAT IT.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU MADE THAT?

THIS IS KARL'S BREAKFAST.

DO I LOOK LIKE I'M IN COLLEGE?
'CAUSE I'M NOT.

I GUESS I'M ON A DIET
FOR A WHILE.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: 210 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...ON THE BAIRDI GROUNDS...

Sig: IT'S NOT EVEN A STORM.

IT'S A HURRICANE
OR A TYPHOON OR...

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
YOU'RE JUST ROLLING THE DICE.

Narrator:
...THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN

BRACES FOR THE 675-MILE-WIDE
SUPER TYPHOON NURI.

Nick Mavar:
HOW'S IT LOOK OUT THERE?

MONSTER.
[ CHUCKLES ]

IT'S MONSTER OUT THERE.

Sig: I DON'T WANT TO BE
OUT HERE WITH THIS WEATHER,

BUT I FEEL LIKE
I NEED TO PUSH IT

BECAUSE CRAB REACT DIFFERENT,
YOU KNOW,

UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.

IN THIS STUFF,

THEY'RE JUST HUNKERING DOWN
AND THEY'RE GOING OFF THE BITE.

I'D LIKE TO GET MY GEAR
ON THE BOAT

BEFORE THE CRAB
GET ALL FREAKED OUT.

ALL THIS TIDAL ACTION GOING --
IT'S EBB AND FLOW, AND IT MOVES.

Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN
MAKES ONE FINAL PUSH

BEFORE THE STORM
FORCES THE CRAB OFF THE BITE.

Sig: WE NEED TO HAUL GEAR,

GET THE POTS ON BOARD,
AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

IN THAT ORDER.

ALL RIGHT. BAIRDI.
HERE WE GO.

BAIRDI. GET SOME.

BAIRDI. GET SOME.
GET SOME. BAIRDI!

BE SAFE. NO CHANCES.

ROGER.

LOOK AT THIS [BLEEP]

THIS WEATHER IS DIFFERENT.
THERE ARE BIGGER WAVES.

IT'S STARTING TO STACK UP.

IN THIS STUFF,

IT JUST MAKES EVERYTHING
TWICE AS HARD

AND TWICE AS MISERABLE.

YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW FAR APART THEY'RE SPREAD,

HOW CLOSE THEY ARE.

YEAH.

NO, THAT'S -- THAT'S SCARY
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

WAS THAT POT DOCKED?

YEP.

[BLEEP] DAMN IT.

POT CAME OUT OF THE RACK.

OH!

AH, WATCH THE RACK THERE.
WATCH --

WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT!
WATCH OUT!

GET DOWN!

WATCH OUT!

YOU OKAY?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

YOU OKAY?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

YOU OKAY?

HE'S GOOD.

YOU ALL RIGHT?
OH [BLEEP]

THAT ONE CAME IN WITH --
OH, MAN.

WHOO!

HOLY [BLEEP]

I AM SHAKING.

OH, THAT WAS A BAD ONE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I WAS HANGING ON
TO THAT POLE, DUDE.

IT [BLEEP] PICKED ME UP
BACK THERE.

I'M SO GLAD
YOU'RE OKAY, KARL.

BAIT LOST.

IN 10 YEARS...

Sig:
WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT!

...THE ONLY WAVE I'VE EVER SEEN
COME OVER A BOAT LIKE THAT.

OH, MAN.

SHOT ENDED UP
IN THE CODFISH.

IT GOT OVER THE PORT SIDE?

YEAH,
THAT WAS A GREEN ONE.

EVERYTHING ENDED UP
IN THE CODFISH.

THE TABLE, THE SHOT, THE CRAB.

[BLEEP] MAN,

IT WASHED ALL THE BAIT
OUT OF THE BAIT CHOPPER.

IT WASHED THE BAIT OUT
OF THE BAIT BAG ON THE TABLE.

[ SIGHS ] [BLEEP]

THAT WAS PRETTY INTENSE.

I DON'T WANT TO HAUL
ANY MORE GEAR.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

ROGER.

THE FACT THAT THAT WAVE
HAD TO BREAK OVER THE RAIL

REALLY SCARES ME.

GOT THE EDGE,

AND THEN IT'S JUST GONNA GET
WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE.

THESE WAVES
ARE PRETTY BIG RIGHT NOW.

Sig:
I'M NOT GONNA BE A GUINEA PIG

TO FIND OUT
WHAT THIS NURI GUY CAN DO.

THAT'S JUST SUICIDAL,
AND I'M NOT SUICIDAL.

AND THIS IS JUST THE CALM
BEFORE IT COMES.
