Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 5 - Super Typhoon Part 2 - full transcript

Man: SUPER-TYPHOON NURI,

WINDS INSIDE OF THAT JETSTREAM
IN SOME PLACES

ARE OVER 200 MILES PER HOUR.

Woman:
IT HAS WHIPPED THE METEOROLOGIC
WORLD INTO A FRENZY,

AS IT TRANSFORMS INTO
THE STRONGEST STORM

ON EARTH RIGHT NOW.

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

Sig: THESE WAVES ARE BEATING US
TO DEATH.

OHHHH! HANG ON.

Keith: HEY.

WATCH OUT. HANG ON, HANG ON!



WHOA.
OUT OF THE WAY!

HANG ON, HANG ON.

THAT'S NOT A PLAYING FIELD.
THAT'S A BATTLEFIELD.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Narrator:
TWO DAYS INTO THE STORM...

THIS IS A BIG ONE.

AND WE'RE SITTING
RIGHT HERE.

WE'RE RIGHT IN LINE
WITH IT.

SUPER-TYPHOON NURI OVERTAKES
THE FISHING GROUNDS.

Sig:
WE'VE GOT 25-FOOTERS TODAY.

45-KNOT WINDS, 25-FOOT SEAS.

[ GROANS ]

IT'S GOING TO BE A BITCH.

Narrator: WARM TROPICAL AIR
FROM THE SOUTH



HAS COLLIDED WITH COLD,
ARCTIC AIR FROM THE NORTH,

CREATING A STORM
THE SIZE OF TEXAS.

Johnathan:
WE'LL GIVE THAT A TRY.

WE'RE TRYING TO BEAT
A CLASS 5 HURRICANE.

I GUESS IT'S LIKE
THE SUPER-STORM OF THE CENTURY.

Narrator: WHILE SOME SEEK REFUGE
IN TOWN...

Keith: THE WEATHER'S NOT COMING
DOWN, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY
TO GET THROUGH IT.

Narrator: ...OTHERS ROLL THE
DICE AND MEET THE STORM HEAD-ON.

THERE'S NO QUESTION WE'RE GOING
TO GET BEAT UP OUT HERE.

IT'S JUST HOW BAD.

Narrator: 210 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...ABOARD
THE 125-FOOT NORTHWESTERN.

Sig: RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE AT BATTLE STATIONS.

THE WHOLE FLEET
IS ON HIGH ALERT.

THE WEATHER BLEW PROBABLY,
I DON'T KNOW,

IT MUST'VE BEEN 40 TO 50 GUSTS
LAST NIGHT.

Narrator: CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN
HEADS STRAIGHT INTO THE GRASP

OF THE 675-MILE-WIDE
SUPER-TYPHOON.

Sig: WE'VE HAD A SHIFT
IN THE WEATHER.

NURI IS COMING IN
WITH SOUTHERLY SOUTHWEST.

AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
BIGGER SEAS.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH EVERY WAVE.

Narrator: JUST HOURS AGO...

WATCH THE ROCK THERE.

WATCH -- WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT.
WATCH OUT!

Narrator:
NURI SAID HELLO...

Sig: YOU OKAY?

...BLINDSIDING THE BOAT AND CREW
WITH A MONSTER ROGUE WAVE.

THE WEATHER REALLY CAME UP
LAST NIGHT,

SO I'M PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE
HERE.

Narrator: JUST SIX DAYS
INTO HIS FIRST BAIRDI TRIP...

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

BUT I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO PUSH
IT FAR AS I CAN

BECAUSE THE NUMBERS
DON'T JUSTIFY FOR US TO GO IN.

Narrator:
CAPTAIN SIG MUST FACE THE STORM
TO FILL THE EMPTY BOAT.

MAIN THING IS SAFETY.
TIME AND SAFETY.

[ ALARM BLARES ]

JESUS.

THE HELL?

[ BLARING CONTINUES ]

ANDERSON...

NOW WHAT?!

DRIFTING AROUND LIKE THIS,
WE'RE SITTING DUCKS.

Narrator: LOSING STEERING
LEAVES THE SKIPPER

UNABLE TO PROTECT THE BOAT
AND CREW

FROM THE INTENSIFYING TYPHOON.

Sig:
THE BOAT DRIFTS ON HER NOSE

AND THEN THE WAVES
SMASH ON THE STERN.

IT'LL SHUDDER THIS BOAT
LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE.

OH, WHAT'S NEXT? COME ON.

Narrator:
IN CHARGE OF THE REPAIR,
DECKHAND JAKE ANDERSON.

THIS BOAT DOESN'T LIKE TO BE
DRIFTING AROUND LIKE THIS.

WE NEED TO GET GOING HERE.

OHHHH! HANG ON.

IT'S THE PUMP DOWNSTAIRS.

THERE'S HYDRAULIC FLUID
EVERYWHERE.

THERE'S HYDRAULIC FLUID?
FIRST THING I CHECKED.

OH, [BLEEP]

[ SIGHS ]

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE IT'S LEAKING FROM?

GET EVERYTHING CLEANED UP
AND THEN SEE WHERE IT'S LEAKING.

OKAY.
I'LL GO DOWN THERE.

Sig: SO, WE'RE JUST TRYING
TO FIND THE LEAK RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S OIL ALL OVER THE PLACE.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE
IT ACTUALLY CAME FROM, OR WHY.

[ GROANS ]

JAKE'S UNDER MORE PRESSURE
'CAUSE EDGAR'S NOT HERE.

AND IT'S BAD, YOU KNOW?

I'M -- I'M HELPLESS UNTIL
WE CAN GET THIS THING FIXED.

SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH ON HIM.

Narrator:
IF THE REPAIR FAILS,

THE NORTHWESTERN WILL BE
RUDDERLESS IN TYPHOON NURI.

Matt:
IT'S TIME LIKE THIS, THOUGH,

IT'S REALLY NICE HAVING
EDGAR ON BOARD.

I'M NOT SAYING
JAKE CAN'T FIX IT,

BUT NOW WE'RE GETTING SLAPPED
AROUND PRETTY GOOD,

SO THERE ARE BENEFITS
OF HAVING EDGAR HERE.

THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THEM,
IN A CRISIS SITUATION.

THEM HIM THAT WE'RE GOING
TO CHANGE THE GAUGE RIGHT NOW.

OKAY.

IS THAT WHERE THE OIL
IS COMING FROM?

YEAH, TELL HIM --
PRESSURE GAUGE.

TELL HIM THAT IT'S PROBABLY --
WE'RE HOPING THAT'LL WORK.

PRESSURE GAUGE.

THEY'RE CHANGING IT OUT.

HE'S HOPING THAT'LL WORK.

Man: HE DOES HAVE A NEW ONE,
RIGHT?

BRAND-NEW OUT OF THE BOX.

WELL, WE GOT FORWARD...

[ AIR HISSES ]

...STARBOARD...

ALL RIGHT,
SO, WE'VE GOT THE STEERING BACK.

Anderson:
GOES UP WHEN HE TURNS.

Sig:
JAKE ASPIRES TO BE, YOU KNOW --

I THINK HE ASPIRES TO BE
AS GOOD AS EDGAR,

AND SO I IMAGINE IT'S PUTTING
A LITTLE STRESS ON HIM,

BUT HE'S HANDLING IT WELL.

FOR SOME REASON, WE'RE PAYING
THE PRICE FOR BAIRDI.

I GUESS WE'RE PAYING THE PRICE
FOR THAT GOOD KING CRAB SEASON.

WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE
A FUN SEASON TO GO OUT AND TRY

IS NOW TURNING INTO A NIGHTMARE.

Narrator:
40 MILES SOUTHEAST...

...THE 499-TON WIZARD
CUTS THROUGH THE STORM.

Keith: SEAS ARE STACKING UP
TO 25-, 30-FOOTERS.

PROBABLY BLOWING CLOSE TO 50
OR BETTER.

WE NEED TO FIND A WAY
IN THESE LAST THREE DAYS

TO REALLY PUT SOME CRAB
ON THIS BOAT.

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

Narrator: AFTER LOSING 50%
OF HIS KING CRAB QUOTA...

Keith: WE HAD A QUICK TURN
ON RED CRAB.

I MEAN, WE GOT IN, WE GOT OUT.

Narrator: KEITH NEEDS
THE ELUSIVE BAIRDI TO PAY OFF.

DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU GET 'EM.

Narrator:
AND PUTTING POUNDS ON THE BOAT

MEANS FISHING STRAIGHT THROUGH
THE TYPHOON.

Keith: OUR PLAN IS TO JUST
KEEP ROLLING GEAR, YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, WE'RE HAULING AND
STACKING, HAULING AND STACKING.

ALREADY PUT IN A LONG TRIP
AND IT'S STARTING TO SHOW.

GUYS ARE BEAT UP.

KEVIN'S OUT OF ACTION.

BUT GEAR IS ON BOARD,

AND WE'RE BACK TO FULL STRENGTH
FOR THE TEAM.

SO, WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THIS RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

HAULING THIS STRING'S GOING
TO BE A LITTLE BIT SKETCHY.

JUST BE AWARE.

IF YOU HEAR THE LOUD HAILER
GO OFF --

WOOP-WOOP-WOOP-WOOP --

THAT MEANS BIG WAVE, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT, COMING UP.

Man: WATCH IT, FREDDIE.

OH.

HELL, YEAH!

[ LAUGHS ]

OH, YEAH.
GOT SOMETHING IN IT.

GOING TO GET RICH.

NEED A BIG DAY, BIG DAY.

Man: LOOKS LIKE FISHING'S
STARTING TO PICK UP, FINALLY.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT
THE DOCTOR ORDERED.

FEW BAIRDI TO GET US
OUT OF HERE.

Freddie: THEY ALWAYS SAY
WHEN THE WEATHER GET [BLEEP],

FISHING GETS HOTTER.

IT'S GETTING HOTTER
JUST LIKE ME, BABY!

Keith: 1...2...

128.

YEAH, BABY.

ROGER!

[ LAUGHS ]

1...4...IT WAS 140.

WOW, 140. RIGHT ON.

HOLY SMOKES.

WENT FROM BAD WEATHER
TO SERIOUS WEATHER.

[BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP]

WATCH IT, GUYS.

GUYS, THERE'S A BIG GREENIE
COMING ON THE PORT SIDE.

OKAY, GUYS, HANG ON.
HANG ON THERE.

WATCH OUT.
HANG ON, HANG ON!

Narrator:
ON THE WIZARD...

Keith: HOLY SMOKES.

GOT NAUTICAL HERE
IN THE LAST SIX HOURS.

WENT FROM BAD WEATHER
TO SERIOUS WEATHER.

[BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP]

WATCH IT, GUYS.

GUYS, THERE'S A BIG GREENIE
COMING ON THE PORT SIDE.

OKAY, GUYS, HANG ON.
HANG ON THERE.

WATCH OUT.
HANG ON, HANG ON!

HOLY [BLEEP]

EVERYBODY GOOD?

WOW.

MAN, MY CREW IS JUST
GETTING HAMMERED THIS YEAR.

YEP, ONE MORE COMING.

YOU GUYS, HANG ON.
HANG ON.

HANG ON, HANG ON.

[ MAN SCREAMS ]

EVERYBODY GOOD?

OH, [BLEEP]

FREDDIE GOT BASHED BY THAT WAVE.

SOPER, COME UP HERE
TO THE WHEEL REAL QUICK.

Narrator: AFTER PUMMELING
THE BOAT FOR SIX HOURS,

TYPHOON NURI CLAIMS
ITS FIRST VICTIM.

WHERE ARE WE AT, FREDDIE?

I CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

Narrator: THE MASSIVE 25-FOOT
WAVE BROKE AT THE RAIL,

[ MAN SCREAMS ]

SLAMMING CREWMAN FREDDIE
MAUGHTAI INTO THE LAUNCHER,

THEN DOWN TO THE DECK.

Keith: YEAH,
LET'S GET HIS RAIN GEAR OFF.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE --
DON'T MOVE.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE --
WHICH LEG, HOW BAD?

NO, NO, NO, YOU WON'T.

FREDDIE, NO.

Keith: SIT DOWN.

I JUST WANT TO...

I KNOW, I KNOW.
LISTEN TO ME.

JUST SIT DOWN.

I WANT YOU TO GET
YOUR RAIN GEAR OFF, ALL RIGHT?

I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT
PERSONALLY.

I KNOW YOU'RE FINE,
FREDDIE.

I GOT TO MAKE SURE,
OKAY?

I WANT YOU TO JUST --

HERE, HANG ON, HANG ON.

HANG ON. WAIT FOR ME.

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS BE
INDESTRUCTIBLE, ALL RIGHT?

I SWEAR I'M FINE.

I KNOW.
YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE.

I CAN TELL
YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE.

HAVE A SEAT.

Keith: I WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE YOU PULL YOUR SWEATS UP.

IT'S NOT BAD.

GO AHEAD AND BEND THIS KNEE
FOR ME REAL QUICK.

NO PROBLEM THERE.

LET ME SEE.

SO, IT HURTS RIGHT --
I'M GOING TO TOUCH IT --

RIGHT HERE?

RIGHT IN THERE?
YEAH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

NOW LET ME SEE YOUR HIP.

Freddie:
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

REAL QUICK.

JUST KIND OF STINGS
A LITTLE BIT.

SO,
JUST RIGHT IN THERE?

YEAH, WHEN IT SMACKED
ON THE BAR.

IT DON'T HURT
WHEN YOU PUSH IT.

WHEN I STAND UP
AND TRY TO WALK,

THAT'S WHEN I FEEL IT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE SURE

THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY BONES
STICKING OUT, OKAY, FREDDIE?

NO. NO. ROGER.
YOU GO AHEAD AND PULL THESE UP.

NO, YOU'RE NOT GOOD TO GO.

I WANT YOU TO JUST TAKE IT EASY,
OKAY?

GIVE IT A CHANCE.

GIVE IT A CHANCE HERE
FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT.

TAKE IT EASY ON THAT HIP.

HEY, NO.

FREDDIE, YOU'RE NOT GOING
BACK OUT RIGHT NOW, OKAY?

NO.

LISTEN.

FREDDIE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO LISTEN TO ME ON THIS, OKAY?

YEAH.

OKAY.

Keith: WE'VE NEVER HAD TO DRAG
HIM OFF DECK LIKE THAT BEFORE.

SO, I KNOW FREDDIE DOES NOT
GET INJURED.

I MEAN, HE'S...WELL...

IF HE GETS BANGED UP,
HE DOESN'T EVER LET YOU KNOW.

SO...

THAT'S ALL ON MY BACK.

Roger: YEAH, IT'S A TYPICAL
BAIRDI TRIP.

PEOPLE ARE GETTING BRUISED,
BROKEN, BATTERED.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET
THE TRIP OVER WITH

AND START ALL OVER
ON THE NEXT ONE.

WE'RE GOING TO WRESTLE
WITH THIS STORM

FOR THE NEXT 12-TO-18 HOURS.

IF YOU'RE MAKING MONEY,
THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.

I THINK WE CAN BATTLE OUR WAY
THROUGH IT.

Narrator: 70 MILES NORTHEAST
ON THE SAGA...

Elliott: YOU HAVE TO DRIVE
THE REST OF THE TRIP.

Jeff: WHY?

I CAN'T DRIVE THE BOAT
ANYMORE.

YEP.

WELL, THIS IS A BUMMER.

WE'LL JUST STOP TALKING
ABOUT IT.

I WON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD
TO THE CAMERA.

Jeff: CREW'S CRAWLING OUT OF BED
RIGHT NOW.

GET READY AND THE DAY
IS GOING TO GET STARTED.

Narrator:
FIRST MATE JEFF FOLK

RELIEVES CAPTAIN ELLIOTT NEESE
OF COMMAND.

I THINK ELLIOTT FIGURED
IT WAS DANGEROUS WEATHER,

AND HE WASN'T FEELING TOO WELL
MENTALLY.

LAST YEAR, WE KIND OF RAN
INTO THIS PROBLEM.

ELLIOTT WENT TO REHAB,
AND IT DIDN'T REALLY HELP HIM.

PEOPLE WHO GET ON DRUGS,
THEY WILL NEVER ADMIT,

NO MATTER WHAT,
THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM.

WELL, I HOPE THE BEST FOR HIM.

I DON'T WANT NONE
OF THIS [BLEEP] TO HAPPEN.

Man:
ELLIOTT CAN'T RUN THE BOAT.

ELLIOTT'S GOING TO NEED
A LOT OF [BLEEP] HELP,

SO I'M GOING TO STAY HERE
AND HELP.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

WHAT'S THAT?

WHICH ONE ARE THEY?

[ BOTTLE THUDS ]
WHAT IS THAT?

Elliott:
TURN THE LIGHTS ON!

20 SWITCHES UP HERE.

HE'S [BLEEP] THROWING WATER
AT THE WHEELHOUSE?

[BLEEP] HEY, MAN.

Elliott: I'M 31 YEARS OLD.

ROCK THE DECK
AND ROCK THE WHEELHOUSE.

[BLEEP] EVERYBODY ELSE.

[BLEEP] OFF.

[BLEEP] DICK WEED.

ALL YOU [BLEEP] HATERS AT HOME,
YOU ARMCHAIR CRABBERS,

[BLEEP] MY BIG, OLD, VEINY
[BLEEP].

"TURN ON THE LIGHTS,
TURN ON THE LIGHTS."

TAKES A WATER BALL, THROWS IT
AT THE [BLEEP] WHEELHOUSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? [BLEEP] YOU.

GET ME A [BLEEP] PLANE TICKET,

AND I'M OUT OF THIS [BLEEP]
GOAT ROPE SHOW.

[BLEEP] THIS
[BLEEP] PIECE OF [BLEEP].

TRYING TO COVER FOR HIS ASS

'CAUSE HE'S TOO [BLEEP] UP
TO RUN HIS OWN BOAT RIGHT NOW.

HE'S [BLEEP] THROWING
WATER BOTTLES

AT THE [BLEEP] WHEELHOUSE.

I DON'T NEED THIS BULL [BLEEP].

WELL, HE MUST BE JUST ANGRY
AT THE WORLD.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THE [BLEEP]
HE'S ALWAYS AFTER ME.

I COME DOWN HERE
TO HELP HIS ASS OUT.

Elliott:
COME DOWN TO [BLEEP] YOU UP.

[BLEEP]

HE MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH
WITHDRAWALS

OR SOME [BLEEP] DAMN THING.

Elliott:
TANK'S GETTING FULL.

AND IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO,
AND WE...HEADING TO TOWN.

DONE WITH RED CRAB.

IT'S LIKE LIVING
IN SOMEONE'S DRUG [BLEEP]

DRUG WORLD.

Narrator: 255 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

ON THE 128-FOOT
CORNELIA MARIE...

Josh:
GOT SOME [BLEEP] GOING ON HERE.

BIG [BLEEP] WEATHER.

THESE WAVES ARE RANGING
FROM 30 TO PROBABLY 45 FEET.

Casey: SO, JOSH IS GETTING SOME
EXPERIENCE.

I DON'T THINK HE'S REALLY USED
TO HANDLING THE BOAT

IN SEAS LIKE THIS.

JOSH BETTER BE FEELING
THE PRESSURE.

Narrator:
BOAT OWNER JOSH HARRIS GETS
A CRASH-COURSE AT THE HELM.

THIS IS WHERE HE GETS TO BECOME
A FISHERMAN

AND NOT JUST A BOAT DRIVER.

Narrator: TODAY'S LESSON --
SUPER-TYPHOON BOATING 101.

BIG MONSTER WAVE, PROBABLY
25-FOOT SEAS RIGHT IN OUR FACE.

WATER COMING FROM BOTH SIDES
OF THE BOAT.

THERE MIGHT BE SOME 40-FOOTERS.

THIS IS EXTREMELY BIG WEATHER.

VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

Casey: IT'S ONE THING
TO SIT UP THERE ON WHEEL WATCH.

IT'S ANOTHER THING TO KNOW
IT'S ON YOUR ASS.

HE'S LEARNING.

EDUCATIONS AREN'T CHEAP.

Josh: COMING UP.

NOW WE ARE OFFICIALLY FISHING.

Narrator:
A LATE START COMPOUNDED BY BAD
FISHING AND MECHANICAL ISSUES

HAS LEFT THE CORNELIA MARIE
FAR BEHIND.

Josh:
OUR DELIVERY DATE'S COMING UP
IN A COUPLE DAYS HERE.

WE'RE REALLY PRESSING HARD.

Narrator: NOW THE YOUNG
BOAT OWNER NEEDS FULL POTS

TO GET BACK IN THE GAME.
BIG NUMBERS!

COME ON, BIG NUMBERS.

LET'S GO.

LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD BE
SOME CRAB IN THIS ONE.

WHAT THE [BLEEP]

THIS BLOWS.

Casey:
YEAH, THAT SUCKS, HUH?

THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT TO SEE
RIGHT NOW.

FOOD!

AWESOME!
WE GOT TWO CODFISH.

OKAY.

EIGHT. EIGHT CRAB.

8 CRAB IN 43 HOURS.

WE NEED A WAY BETTER AVERAGE
THAN THAT.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO CUT IT.

CAN'T GET MUCH WORSE
THAN THIS.

AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT
PANNING OUT VERY WELL.

Casey: ALMOST HAD ENOUGH
FOR A DINNER.

THIS AIN'T GONNA DO IT.

THREE?

THAT'S THREE.

WELL, THAT'S
PRETTY CONSISTENT.

[ LAUGHS ]

SCRATCHING AWAY, WE'RE JUST
SCRATCHING AWAY POT BY POT,

HOPING FOR BIG NUMBERS.

NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD.

THIS WILL GO DOWN IN THE HISTORY
OF THE WORLD

AS THE LONGEST KING CRAB SEASON
IN THE WORLD.

TENSIONS GET A LITTLE HIGH WHEN
FISHING ISN'T EXACTLY STELLAR,

AND RIGHT NOW

I HAVEN'T BEEN PRODUCING
EXTREMELY STELLAR FISHING, SO...

[BLEEP]
LOOK AT THESE ROLLERS, MAN.

Man: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

IF I WOULD HAVE PULLED BACK,

THOSE GUYS WOULD'VE GOT [BLEEP]
TORCHED HARD.

[ LAUGHS ]

ALL FUN AND GAMES
TILL SOMEBODY GETS HURT.

YOU'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOURSELF,
SO KEEP AN EYE OUT.

Josh: WATCH YOUR ASSES,
ALL RIGHT?

THERE'S SOME BIG WAVES
OUT THERE.

Man: COME ON.

[BLEEP] WEATHER NOW.

THIS IS FISHABLE WEATHER,

BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO BE
ON THE BALL.

YOU CANNOT TAKE YOUR EYES
OFF THE WATER.

JOSH IS DOING PRETTY GOOD,
BUT HE'S GOT A LONG WAY TO GO.

WHOA.
OUT OF THE WAY!

YEAH, IF YOU DON'T FEEL
COMFORTABLE.

YOU WATCH THESE BUILD UP,
YOU GET THAT ONE OCCASIONALLY

THAT CAN REALLY JUST [BLEEP]
WRECK YOUR WHOLE DAY

AND [BLEEP] INJURE PEOPLE.

IF SOMETHING BAD EVER HAPPENED
TO ONE OF THESE GUYS,

[ COUGHS ]
IT'D PROBABLY END MY CAREER.

Narrator:
NIGHT SETTLES ON THE BERING SEA

AS TYPHOON NURI SHOWS HER TEETH.

Sig: TODAY WAS HORRIBLE.

YOU KNOW, THE WEATHER, WE
THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO SUBSIDE,

AND IT'S ACTUALLY INCREASED.

NO, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR ME,
MAN.

I CAN'T DO ANYMORE OF THIS.

HEY, YOU GUYS, THAT'S IT.

WE'RE DONE.

GUYS, JUST TIGHTEN UP THE DECK,
FALL IN.

LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.

Man: THANK GOD!

NO, THAT'S ENOUGH. IT'S CRAZY.

IT'S JUST MISERABLE.

SLOWS EVERYTHING DOWN.

THAT'S KIND OF
HOW THE BERING SEA WORKS.

BASICALLY RISKING LIFE
AND LIMB.

THIS IS JUST NOT WORTH IT TO ME
TO TAKE ANY CHANCES

WITH THE WEATHER AND THE FISHING
AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS.

IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO,
YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, WE DON'T WANT
TO HURT ANYBODY.

Narrator: WHILE THE NORTHWESTERN
BATTENS DOWN THE HATCHES...

...85 MILES EAST...

...ON THE SAGA.

Jeff: WEATHER'S REALLY PICKED UP
OVER THE PAST COUPLE HOURS.

20-, 25-FOOT SEAS.

WE GOT A DELIVERY DATE
COMING UP.

WE'RE TOTALLY BEHIND THE BALL.

WE NEED TO GET ON IT.

Narrator: FIRST MATE JEFF FOLK
REMAINS AT THE HELM

IN CIRCUMSTANCES
LESS THAN IDEAL.

Jeff: WHAT I HEARD, MOST THE
FLEET HAS CAUGHT THEIR CRAB.

GOT IT ALL CAUGHT UP
AND WE'RE OUT HERE

RUNNING AROUND LIKE A CHICKEN
WITH OUR HEADS CUT OFF.

NOT KNOWING WHAT THE HELL TO DO.

Narrator:
WHILE JEFF MANS THE WHEEL,

CAPTAIN ELLIOTT NEESE
GRINDS IT OUT ON DECK.

EVERYTHING'S PRETTY MUCH A MESS
IN HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW, I MEAN...

NOT A GOOD SITUATION.

LOT OF PEOPLE'S LIVES
ARE BEING AFFECTED HERE.

PEOPLE WHO DO HEROIN,

ALL THEIR FRIENDS
ARE THE ONES THAT SUFFER.

I THINK MIKE TRULY THOUGHT
THAT HE WAS DOING OKAY.

I'M NOT SURE.

STARTING TO GET FAT,
SO I FIGURED,

"WHAT THE [BLEEP] YOU DOING?
COME DOWN HERE ON DECK.

LOSE SOME WEIGHT, GET A WORKOUT.

SURE SEEMS LIKE THE CREW --

HE'S BRINGING THE WHOLE CREW
DOWN.

THE CREW'S FALLING APART, MAN.

WHY DON'T YOU GO
TO THE OTHER END,

SO YOU'RE HAULING INTO IT,

INSTEAD OF [BLEEP] HAULING
AND GOING WITH IT?

IN HIGH SCHOOL,
HE HAD A BRAND-NEW JAGUAR.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE TAXED OUT,
THERE.

Jeff:
IN ALL MY YEARS OF CRAB FISHING,
I NEVER SEEN THE MOOD SO DARK.

[BLEEP] FALLING APART AROUND
HERE, BIG TIME.

AND IT'S HAPPENING QUICK.

Mike: PEOPLE NEED
TO JUST KNOCK IT OFF.

TIME TO [BLEEP] DO DRUGS
ON YOUR OWN THING,

AND THERE'S A TIME
TO [BLEEP] MAKE MONEY AND FISH.

CAN'T COMBINE THE TWO.

Man:
WATCH IT, WATCH IT!

WHOA!

Jeff: IT'S NOT WORTH THROWING
AWAY EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT --

YOUR BOAT AND THIS JOB --

FOR DRUGS.

IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT.

I WANT TO SEE HIM GET BETTER.

YOU'RE HANGING OUT,
WAITING AND WAITING.

ELLIOTT'S GOING TO LOSE
EVERYTHING HE'S GOT

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

Narrator:
FISHING THROUGH THE TYPHOON,

THE WIZARD CRUSHES THE SCENE
ON THE BAIRDI GROUNDS.

Narrator: WITH NURI SAFELY PAST
DUTCH HARBOR,

ON THE "PIE" BANDIT...

[ LAUGHS ]

THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

IT'S PIE TIME.

COMING RIGHT NOW.
GET PIES QUICK.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YEAH. [ LAUGHS ]

YOU CAN'T TRUST NOBODY.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

THAT PLAN DIDN'T COME TOGETHER
VERY WELL.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Man: TIME TO DO LAUNDRY.

Narrator: 255 MILES NORTHEAST
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...THE CORNELIA MARIE
IS ON THE FRONT LINES.

NOW IT'S LIKE
[BLEEP] WORLD WAR III OUTSIDE.

THIS STORM IS MASSIVE, PROBABLY
THE BIGGEST WE'VE SEEN ALL YEAR.

IT'S [BLEEP] NASTY.

BOAT OWNER JOSH HARRIS
AND CAPTAIN CASEY McMANUS

FIGHT THEIR WAY THROUGH
THE 675-MILE SUPER-TYPHOON NURI.

Casey: IT'S ME AGAINST
MOTHER NATURE RIGHT NOW,

AND MOTHER NATURE
IS KICKING MY ASS.

Man: NOTHING LIKE HEAVY SPRAY,
SALT IN THE EYES.

BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE ALIVE,
I TELL YOU.

BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE ALIVE.

OUR DELIVERY DATE'S COMING UP
IN A COUPLE DAYS HERE,

AND WE'RE REALLY PRESSING HARD
TO GET THIS CRAB ON THE BOAT.

A WHOLE LOTTA NADA.

THIS [BLEEP] AIN'T GOING
TO CUT IT -- PERIOD.

THAT'S NOT VERY GOOD
AT ALL!

Man:
IT'S ONE MY FAVORITE.

I GOT THREE, BUD.

JUST THREE?

THIS WOULD BE PHIL'S
PROVERBIAL ONE-LEGGED MAN

RUNNING AROUND AN ASS-KICKING
CONTEST RIGHT HERE.

Jake: WE'RE RUNNING IN
THE TROUGH IN 30-FOOT SWELL,

WHICH, GENERALLY, YOU DON'T DO,

BUT FOR SOME REASON
WE WERE DOING IT.

ALL RIGHT, MAN.

[BLEEP] LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THOSE [BLEEP]

FOUR-STORY BUILDINGS
JUST SHOOTING RIGHT PAST US.

YOU TAKE ONE
OF THESE [BLEEP] WRONG,

IT'LL [BLEEP] ROLL US
RIGHT OVER.

SON OF A BITCH!

ALL RIGHT.

THE POINT WHERE I PULL THE PLUG
IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING.

IT'S GOING TO BE
ON THE STARBOARD SIDE,

SO KEEP YOUR ASS CLEAR.

RIGHT WHEN WE NEED THE CRAB
THE MOST,

HE'S BATTLING
THE WORST CONDITIONS

THE BERING SEA
COULD POSSIBLY PRODUCE.

Casey:
THERE'S SOME TIMES YOU GOT TO BE
SMART ENOUGH TO PULL THE PLUG.

DOESN'T MATTER HOW GOOD
OF A FISHERMAN YOU ARE,

IF YOU HURT SOMEBODY,

WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING
IN THE WHEELHOUSE?

AGREED, AGREED, AGREED.

Josh: I WANT TO GET THE GUYS
IN HERE.

YOU KNOW, THEY GOT TO WORK
10 TIMES HARDER

IN WEATHER LIKE THIS.

IT'S NOT EASY FOR THEM.

DOING ONE STRING'S
LIKE DOING THREE STRINGS.

Casey: I'M THINKING
WE SHOULD JUST CALL IT

AND DO OUR FIRST DELIVERY,

COME BACK OUT
AND MAKE A SECOND TRIP.

ONE INJURY RUINS THE SEASON.

WE SHUTTING HER DOWN?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

TIDE'S GOING UP AGAINST US NOW

AND THE WAVES
ARE GETTING BIGGER.

I'M GOING TO PULL THE PLUG
ON THIS.

SECURE THE BLOCK, PLEASE.

Man:
PULLING THE PLUG ON IT.

THE WEATHER GOT TOO BIG,
TOO DANGEROUS.

Jason Shaw:
THE WEATHER'S TOO EXTREME.

IT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS FOR US
TO BE OUT HERE RIGHT NOW,

AND IF SOMETHING GOES AWRY,
COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEBODY.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE SMART
WITH THIS KIND OF WEATHER.

TAKE YOUR TIME
AND DO THINGS RIGHT.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYBODY.

[ SIGHS ] THE WEATHER HAS NOT
BEEN ON OUR SIDE THIS YEAR.

[ Laughing ] OH [BLEEP]

Josh: WE NEED TO GET THE HELL
INTO DUTCH IMMEDIATELY.

THIS IS THE TYPE OF [BLEEP] THAT
CAN SINK AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER.

Narrator: 62 MILES SOUTH...

...ABOARD THE WIZARD.

IT'S NASTY.
IT'S NOT NAUTICAL ANYMORE.

IT'S GRADUATED FROM NAUTICAL
TO NASTY OUT.

WATCH OUT!

NARRATOR:
WHILE MOST BOATS ARE SHUT DOWN,

CAPTAIN KEITH COLBURN AND CREW
BATTLE ON THROUGH TYPHOON NURI.

Keith: THE WEATHER'S
JUST BLOWING US AROUND.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THESE GUYS.

AFTER FREDDIE GOT BASHED
BY THAT WAVE...

[ MAN SCREAMS ]

I CAN TELL HE GOT RATTLED
BY THAT WAVE,

BUT HE'S NOT GOING
TO LET ANYBODY SEE THAT.

FREDDIE'S TOO PROUD TO SHOW
ANY SIGN OF WEAKNESS.

Lenny: YEAH, BABY!

Freddie: YEAH!

[ MEN CHEERING ]

WELL, FREDDIE IS BACK ON DECK,
AND THAT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.

HE SEEMS TO BE MOVING OKAY.

I DON'T SEE HIM LIMPING.

I KNOW HE'S GOT TO BE SORE
AS HELL.

IT JUST SHOWS YOU WHO HE IS.

I MEAN, HE JUST GOT BLASTED
BY THAT WAVE.

Narrator: AFTER BEING DRIVEN
TO THE DECK BY 25-FOOT WAVE,

Freddie: COMING IN HOT!

VETERAN DECKHAND
FREDDIE MAUGHTAI

IS BACK FOR MORE.

[ INHALES SHARPLY ] WHOA.

WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT,
WATCH OUT.

Man: WATCH OUT!

LENNY!

WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT EXCITING
FOR YOU OVER THERE!

[ LAUGHS ]

THAT'S NOT A PLAYING FIELD.
THAT'S A BATTLEFIELD.

ALL RIGHT?

AND ONCE YOU GO TO WAR,

YOU MAKE SURE
YOU BRING EVERYBODY BACK SAFE,

AND YOU COVER EVERYBODY.

Narrator:
DESPITE THE STORM,

KEITH PRESSES ON
TO TOP OFF HIS TANKS FAST

AND MAKE BAIRDI PAY.

Keith:
SEE ALL THESE STRINGS?

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

WE'VE ALREADY PULLED THEM OUT,

AND THEY AVERAGED PROBABLY 85,
90 CRABS TO A STRING.

LET'S FILL THOSE TANKS TODAY.

HERE WE GO!

YEAH, BABY. YEAH, BABY.

GOOD FISHING.

83.

[ Laughing ] OH!

YEAH, BABY!
YEAH!

THIS IS
WHAT I LIKE TO SEE!

[ Laughing ] OH!

THIS IS HOW WE WANT TO END
THE TRIP --

HANDFULS OF KEEPERS, BABY.

YEAH!

OH, BABY!

Man: 103.

103. 103.

UNTZ, UNTZ, UNTZ!

RIGHT THERE,
THAT'S THE LAST ONE.

Narrator: WITH NURI'S WRATH
AT THEIR STERN,

THE WIZARD HEADS TO PORT
WITH FULL TANKS.

[ MEN CHEERING ]

I WAS DEFINITELY
QUESTIONING MYSELF HERE

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

ANY TIME YOU MAKE A GAMBLE THIS
BIG, THERE'S GOING TO BE DOUBT.

IT'S A BRUTE-FORCE FISHERY.

YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY,
WE GOT THROUGH IT.

AND WE CAUGHT A BUNCH OF CRAB
IN THE PROCESS.

NOBODY GAVE THEM TO US.

TAKES A LOT OF WORK, A LOT
OF DEDICATION, PERSEVERANCE.

THAT'S WHY WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL
FOR YEARS.
