HERE.

OH YEAH, BABY.
>> WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING,
WE'RE GOOD AT WHAT WE DO.

WE KEEP THE BOAT AS SAFE AS WE

DUTCH HARBOR.
ON THE 113-FOOT TIME BANDIT.

AFFAIRS.
WE GOT A DELIVERY DAY COMIN' UP,
AND, UH, WE'RE WAY BEHIND THE

GUN.
SO FAR, I HAVE NOT SEEN THE
CRAB.

>> CRAB BUCKET, ZERO.
PBHT!
>> Narrator: ALREADY HALFWAY

THROUGH THE OPILIO SEASON,
CAPTAIN JONATHAN HILLSTRAND IS A
FAR CRY AWAY FROM CATCHING HIS

MILLION DOLLARS OF CRAB.
>> YOU WANNA BE A CRAB
FISHERMAN.

TRYING TO FIND A HOME FOR THESE
POTS, GET THEM IN THE WATER.
I THINK THE EAST SIDE WILL BE

LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR US.
>> Narrator: WITH ONLY 80,000
POUNDS ON BOARD, WORKING ON 70

CRAB AVERAGE, JOHNATHAN PACKS IT
IN TO FIND MORE PRODUCTIVE
GROUND.

>> KYLE DIER AWAITS A DELIVERY
DAY OF HIS OWN.

BOAT.
LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THEY

LOOK UP AT ME.
TWO NEWBORNS, ANOTHER BABY TO
BE, I AM LIKE THE MAMA POSSUM,

NOT LETTING ANY OF MY BABIES
FALL OFF MY BACK.
>> THE MINUTE YOU HOLD THAT

LITTLE BABY, YOUR WHOLE LIFE
CHANGES, BRO.
YOU'RE GOING TO SAY HALLELUJAH,

THIS IS THE REAL LIFE.
>> OKAY, GUYS.
>> GO AT IT.



I WILL GO EAT MY BREAKFAST.
>> HEY.

>> WE FEEL THAT I HAVE TO GO TO
THE DOCTOR TWICE A WEEK NOW
BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL HEALTH

COMPLICATIONS.

COMPLICATIONS, THE BABY'S DUE

DATE IS BEING MOVED UP.

THERE.
I GOT TO GET GOING.
ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU MISS
THAT.
I'LL TRY MY BEST TO GET YOU

HOME.
GET MY CRAB.
>> THANKS, JOHN.

>> THEY DON'T HAVE BABIES WHEN
YOU'RE OUT OPILIO FISHING.
THE BABY'S NAME SHOULD BE OPILIO

OR SNOW BABY.
SNOW CRAB BABY.
>> Narrator: 240 MILES

NORTHWEST.
ON THE 128 FOOT CORNELIA MARIE.
>> DEAR LORD, PROTECT NOT JUST

US BUT EVERYBODY ON THE BERING
SEA STARTING THIS CRAB SEASON.
PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR US AND

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO.
>> Narrator: WHILE CAPTAIN CASEY
McMANUS AND CREW MAKE THINGS

RIGHT WITH THE CRAB GODS.
>> READY TO ROCK AND ROLL, BOYS?
FIRST SPOT.

>> Narrator: JOSH HARRIS IS
READY TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP
TOWARD SEIZING HIS LEGACY.

>> FIRST POT.
>> Narrator: WHEN I THINK OF
BAIRDI.

>> I WILL SHOW CASEY I KNOW WHAT
I AM DOING, SHOW MYSELF.
KIND OF A BIG DEAL TO ME.

>> I KNOW.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
>> MAYBE WHEN THEY THINK OF THE

CORNELIA MARIE, THEY'LL THINK
INSTEAD OF PHIL HARRIS JOSH
HARRIS.

>> ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT OVER 150,000 POUNDS TO
CATCH.

>> NOW I'M NERVOUS.
I WANT TO SEE SOME CRAB IN THESE
POTS.

>> WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS A
SMILEY FACE.
>> SO HAPPY.

>> OPI MAKES ME HAPPY.
>> WE ARE 80,000.
>> 80?

SEEMS A LITTLE DEEP TO ME.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RADAR, ALL OF
THEM ARE FISHING 66, YOU SHOULD

BE FISHING 66 ON YOUR INITIAL
SET.
THEY'RE ALREADY DONE THE

HOMEWORK FOR YOU.
GOOD CHANCE THAT'S WHERE THEY
HANG OUT.

>> SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> Narrator: THE ROOKIE CAPTAIN
CHALLENGES CONVENTIONAL WISDOM,

SETTING POTS IN DEEPER WATER.
DESPITE HIS

DUTCH HARBOR...
...ON THE 110-FOOT BRENNA A...
>>> OKAY, BOYS, LAST STRING OF

THE TRIP HERE.
>> THIS IS OUR MONEY STRING FROM
LAST PICK.

>> I DO FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT
THIS AREA, FEEL LIKE I GOT THE
GEAR ON GOOD FISHING TO GO INTO

TOWN WITH.
BE NICE TO TOP OFF THE TANK
Narrator: WITH 50,000 POUNDS

ALREADY ABOARD, ROOKIE SKIPPER
SEAN DWYER IS ON TRACK FOR HIS
DELIVERY DATE...

AND POISED TO TAKE A NICE BITE
OUT OF HIS 340,000-POUND QUOTA.
THIS AREA HAD A 95 AVERAGE.

I THINK THERE WILL BE A FAIR
AMOUNT OF CRAB IN THE POTS.
I'M PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
>> NO CRAB.
>> LOOKS LIKE THE COTTON BLEW

OUT ON THE WAY UP.
>> FIRST POT, COTTON IS BROKEN.
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S
HOLDING THEM IN THERE IS THE
BAIT, IS THE [BLEEP]

WALL'S WIDE OPEN ON THE SIDE OF
THE POT.
>> NOTHING YOU CAN REALLY DO

ABOUT IT EXCEPT TRY AND SEW IT
UP.
Narrator: TO PROTECT THE

SPECIES, ALASKA FISH AND GAME
REQUIRES A BIODEGRADABLE LINE,
OR "COTTON," ON EACH CRAB POT.

IF A POT IS LOST, THE LINE
DISSOLVES AFTER 30 DAYS,
ALLOWING THE TRAPPED CRAB TO

ESCAPE.
>> WE GOT TO START CHECKING
EVERY POT NOW FOR COTTON.

>> WHAT'S THE DEAL HERE?
>> THEY WEREN'T GETTING CHECKED
PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW.

Narrator: IF THE COTTONS AREN'T
CHECKED BY THE RAILMEN AS THE
POTS ARE SET, VIABLE CRAB CAN

ESCAPE, COSTING BOTH TIME AND
MONEY.
>> 32!

32!
Dwyer: SO THAT SUCKS.
COSTING US CRAB.

>> ALL POTS.
>> ARE YOU [BLEEP] KIDDING ME?
ANOTHER ONE?

WHAT THE [BLEEP].
>> OBVIOUSLY WE WEREN'T DOUBLE
CHECKING ALL THE POTS.

>> STACKING ON.
>> IT IS THE RAIL GUYS'
RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK AT THE

BIO.
WHOEVER WAS ON THE RAIL FOR THIS
STRING WAS NOT CHECKING THEM.

AND NOW WE'RE PAYING FOR IT.
>> HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE.
>> WE GOTTA OFF LOAD TOMORROW.

AND THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS
THAT THERE'S STILL SOME CRAB WE
LEFT ON THE BOTTOM.

CRAB WE COULD HAVE PUT ON THE
BOAT RIGHT NOW.
WHO THE [BLEEP]

WAS ON THE RAIL FOR THIS STRING?
BRITT.
THAT'S A, UH, WOUND THAT

CONTINUES TO BLEED.
Narrator: THIS PAST WEEK...
>> WE'RE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE

GEAR.
>> ARE YOU GOING TO DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT?

>> [BLEEP] LITTLE GUY.
>> Narrator: HIS ATTITUDE HAS
BEEN WORSE.

>> IF YOU WANT TO TALK, DO IT TO
ME.
I WILL CALL YOU OUT ON IT, BREAK

YOUR BALLS, SEND YOU HOME CRYING
LIKE A LITTLE BITCH.
>> BRITT YOU WERE ON THE RAIL

FOR THIS STRING.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN I TELL YOU,
CHECK EVERY POT.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXING
EVERYTHING.
>> WHY AREN'T WE GETTING

NUMBERS --
>> I DIDN'T CUT THE COTTON, IT
IS BECAUSE YOU'RE HAULING THEM

TOO EARLY.
YOU HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
YOUR ACTIONS.

THERE'S CONSEQUENCES TO ALL OF
THESE BLANK POTS.
THAT'S SEVEN POTS SO FAR TODAY.

MAKE THAT NUMBER EIGHT.
WHAT THE [BLEEP].
>> Narrator: OVER THE NEXT 12

HOURS.
>> 31 POTS, 5,000 POUNDS OF
CRAB.

>> Narrator: DAMAGE ADDS UP.
>> A WHOLE STRING WITHOUT
COTTON.

>> Narrator: PRETTY MUCH A
$15,000 MISTAKE.
SO YEAH, I'M PISSED.

WE HAVE TO GO DOWN, OFFLOAD.
I HAVE TO GET THESE CRAB OFF THE
BOAT, FRUSTRATING AS HELL.

THE NUMBERS ARE TWO-THIRDS, HALF
WHAT IT SHOULD BE FILLED.
>> Narrator: 20,000 POUNDS

SHORT, OUT OF TIME.
>> BRITT, COME TAKE THE WHEEL.
>> Narrator: BRENNA A SHUTS DOWN

AND HEADS TO PORT.
>> LET'S HAVE A SEAT, BOYS.
>> Narrator: WHILE BRITT TAKES

FIRST WHEEL WATCH.
>> I DON'T KNOW A WAY TO RESOLVE
THIS.

>> Narrator: THE CAPTAIN MEETS
WITH THE REST OF THE CREW.
>> THAT'S MONEY OUT OF OUR

[BLEEP] POCKET.
THE ANSWER IS CLEAR TO ME.
BRITT HAS TO GO.

MY CONCERN IS MINUS ONE GUY,
YOUR JOB GETS TWICE AS HARD.
YOU GUYS ALL FOR WHO THINKS

YOU'RE BETTER WITHOUT HIM.
>> TRIM THE FAT.
>> Narrator: 83 MILES SOUTHEAST.

>> BRITT, GET CLOSE.
>> Narrator: ON THE TIME BANDIT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO RUN THIS.

>> Narrator: WITH A MILLION
DOLLAR OPILIO SEASON WEIGHING ON
HIS MIND.

>> TRYING TO FIND A HOME FOR
POTS, GET THEM IN THE WATER,
PLACE TO BE HERE.

>> Narrator: CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN
HILLSTRAND COUNTS ON NEW GROUND
TO BREAK THE LOSING STREAK.

>> WE HAVE A DEADLINE AND GUY
HAVING A BABY, HIS WIFE IS
HAVING COMPLICATIONS.

>> Narrator: BUT THERE'S MORE ON
THE LINE THAN BANKING CRAB.
>> TRYING TO GET HIM HOME IN

TIME FOR THAT BABY.
HOPING THERE'S SOMETHING OVER
HERE FOR US.

GUYS, LET'S GET SOME CRAB.
>> REALLY WORRIED, I NEED TO
MAKE SURE THESE GET BACK ON

CRAB.
CAME OVER HERE TO MAKE A SURVEY
ON THE EAST SIDE.

>> Narrator: THE CRAB, 60,000
POUNDS OF CRAB HE NEEDS.
>> IT GOES LIKE THIS.

>> Narrator: THE SKIPPER IS
DROPPING 80 POTS IN NEW WATERS.
>> WOO!

>> WEATHER, I THINK IT IS COMING
UP FAST.
GOING TO BE HERE A FEW DAYS.

EVERYBODY WATCH OUT.
>> THIS MAY GET WORSE.
>> POTS OF CRAB --

>> BEST CASE SCENARIO MY POTS
START PRODUCING SO I CAN GET MY
ASS INTO THE HARBOR.

IF NOT, DON'T PLAN ON

Narrator:
SAINT PAUL ISLAND, ALASKA.
[ GULL CRIES ]

ABOARD THE 125-FOOT
NORTHWESTERN...
>> GO, GO, GO, GO.

>> GOTTA ADMIT, IT WAS A TOUGH
TRIP.
BUT WE GOT HER FULL, AND, UH, WE

DID AMAZING.
I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S THE SHOT
IN THE ARM WE NEEDED.

Narrator: AFTER A GRUELING 2
1/2-WEEK GRIND, THE NORTHWESTERN
OFFLOADS THEIR FIRST OPILIO CRAB

OF THE SEASON.
>> FEELS GREAT.
OUR GOAL WAS A COUPLE TANKS.

WE ENDED UP WITH ALMOST THREE.
SO THAT'S BADASS.
>> EVERYBODY IS A LITTLE SORE

AND TIRED.
MY VOICE IS GONE.
SO WE GOT A NEW CREW MEMBER.

>> WOO!
HOW'S IT GOING.
>> Narrator: SUPPORTING THE CREW

ON THEIR NEXT TRIP, SKIPPER IN
TRAINING AND
AND SIG'S DAUGHTER, 20-YEAR-OLD

MANDY HANSEN.
>> LET ME TAKE OVER FOR YA.
>> I KNOW WE CAN UTILIZE

MANDY, GIVING THE GUYS A BREAK.
BUT ALSO GIVING HER SOME
TRAINING, SOME SEA TIME.

I'M VERY HAPPY 'CAUSE I'D LOVE
TO SEE HER DO THIS.
AND I'M PROUD OF IT, YOU KNOW?

I'M PROUD OF HER.
Narrator: TWO YEARS AGO...
>> MANDY, COME ON!

>> Narrator: MANDY GOT HER FIRST
TASTE OF THE FAMILY BUSINESS AS
A GREENHORN.

>> I NEED TO BE PART OF THIS.
IT'S IN MY BLOOD.
I CAN'T GET AWAY FROM IT.

>> READY TO GO FISHING?
>> YEAH.
>> Narrator: NOW SHE'S BACK TO

GET
SOME TIME AT THE HELM FOR HER
MARITIME DEGREE.

I'M NERVOUS ABOUT IT.
>> THERE'S NOTHIN' TO BE NERVOUS
ABOUT.

YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THIS TIME.
YOU'RE GONNA GET ALL THE

EXPERIENCE HERE.
AND THEN, UH, YOU CAN TAKE ALL
THE WATCHES FOR THE GUYS AND

THEN BE RESPONSIBLE AT NIGHT,
YOU KNOW, FOR --
FOR WHEN THEY DO SLEEP.

CAN YOU DO THAT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> YOU SURE?

>> WELL, YOU --
IF YOU'RE GONNA TEACH ME, THEN
I'LL LEARN HOW TO DO IT.

>> WE'LL TEACH YOU.
>> AND I CAN DO IT.
>> WE'RE GONNA TEACH YOU.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT A SIMULATOR.
YOU'RE GONNA BE THE REAL DEAL.
AND THEN YOU'LL GET YOUR SEA

TIME FOR ALL THESE BIG BOATS
YOU'RE GONNA RUN SOMEDAY, YOU
KNOW?

THIS'LL BE LIKE A LITTLE BABY
THING TO YOU SOMEDAY.
MM-HMM.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GET UNPACKED
BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA GET OUTTA
HERE, OKAY?

>> WE'RE GOOD TO GO.
>> Narrator: WITH HIS OFFLOAD
COMPLETE AND HIS DAUGHTER

ABOARD.
>> WE'RE GOING TO FILL THIS
SUCKER UP, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE

GOING TO DO.
HERE WE GO.
WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

>> Narrator: SIG HEADS TO THE
FISHING GROUNDS.
>> GOT MANDY ON BOARD.

I JUST DON'T LIKE IT WHEN SHE'S
ON DECK TOO MUCH.
THAT WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO

WATCH.
SO SHE'S GOING TO SPEND MORE
TIME UP HERE WITH ME, DO A

LITTLE MORE OF THE NAVIGATING.
>> Narrator: 125 MILES
NORTHWEST.

THE CORONER MARIE PULLS ITS
FIRST POT.
>> WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE IF JOSH

KNOWS WHERE THE CRAB ARE.
>> ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN.
>> FIRST OPI POTS, I'M

GIVING CASEY THE PLEASURE OF
HAULING THE FIRST TWO.
JUST PRAY THAT WE GOT SOME CRAB

HERE.
Narrator: AFTER A BIG SUCCESS
CATCHING THEIR BAIRDI, JOSH

HARRIS FACES HIS FIRST HAUL AS
CAPTAIN FOR OPILIO CRAB.
>> JOSH WAS TELLING ME PHIL USED

TO FISH HERE IN THE PAST.
WE HAD A COUPLE OF REALLY GOOD
INITIAL SETS THIS YEAR.

AND I'M REALLY HOPIN' THAT
STREAK HOLDS UP.
>> IF IT DOESN'T, I'M BLAMING

JOSH.
>> OPIES, BABY.
HERE WE GO.

>> ARE THEY GONNA BE HEROES?
ARE THEY GONNA BE ZEROES?
ABOUT TO FIND OUT RIGHT NOW.

>> ANXIOUS, NERVOUS.
JUST WANNA SEE WHAT'S COMIN' UP

[BLEEP]
[BLEEP]

GOTTA START SOMEWHERE.
>> I THINK WE MIGHT BE A LITTLE

DEEP.
>> WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT.

>> HOPEFULLY IT PICKS UP.

THIS WILL BE A LONG SEASON LIKE
THIS.
>> MAYBE WE'LL START SEEING SOME

SIGNS OF LIFE HERE IN THE NEXT
COUPLE POTS.
WE WILL FIND 'EM.

[BLEEP]
>> WOW, NOTHING.
SO FAR, THIS IS NO-PILIO 2016.

Narrator:
AS MORE POTS COME ABOARD...
>> ZERO, ZERO, ZERO.

[BLEEP].
>> Narrator: SO DO THE ZEROS.
>> THIS IS AN ULTIMATE MAJOR

STRIKEOUT.
>> ROUGH MORNING.
IT'S A GOOD THING I GOT HALF A

TWIX BAR SOMEWHERE IN HERE.
I'M A DEPRESSION EATER.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

[ MEN CHEERING ]

LET'S JUST KEEP WORKIN' IT.

AND I WILL BE THE

Narrator: 180 MILES NORTHEAST OF
DUTCH HARBOR ON THE TIME
BANDIT...

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO HOME.
THE WEATHER'S DEFINITELY COME

UP, MAKING IT A --
MORE OF A BITCH.
I GOTTA LOAD THIS BOAT BECAUSE

BLIND DOG'S WIFE WANTS HIM HOME
FOR THIS DELIVERY OF THE BABY.
Narrator: UNDER PRESSURE TO

DELIVER HIS CRAB AND GET
DECKHAND KYLE DYERLY TO THE
MATERNITY WARD...

>> I'M ON A MISSION.
>> Narrator: CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN
HILLSTRAND

LAUNCHED A DESPERATE HAIL MARY
SET ON NEW GROUNDS.
IT'S REAL CRUCIAL WE'RE GOIN'

AGAINST THE GRAIN.
I MEAN, EVERYBODY ELSE IS OVER
THERE.

THIS COULD BE THE WRONG THING TO
DO, BUT WE'LL FIND OUT.
>> WITH 58,000 POUNDS LEFT TO

CATCH...
>> OKAY, GUYS.
>> ...A YOUNG DECKHAND'S HOPES

AND A VETERAN SKIPPER'S OFFLOAD
ARE BOTH RIDING ON THIS STRING.
>> I LOVE YOUR [BLEEP]

AND CARE ABOUT YOU.
SO WE NEED CRAB INTO THESE POTS.
>> LET'S GO, LET'S GO!

>> GUYS, BALLS TO THE WALL,
BABY.
>> WE'RE CHECKING OUR FIRST POT

HERE, AND THIS'LL TELL US A LOT.
[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]
>> HOO, DOGGY.

COME ON, BABY.
NOT LOOKIN'.
TELL ME WHEN IT COMES UP.

>> OH, YEAH.
OH, MY GOD!
WHOO!

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
[ CHUCKLES ] THAT WAS INTENSE.
THAT WAS INTENSE [BLEEP]

THERE.
[ LAUGHS ]
>> 1-6-5.

>> 165.
THAT WAS GREAT.
[ LAUGHS ]

NOT TOO SHABBY.
A LOT BETTER THAN WHERE WE CAME
FROM.

>> COME ON, LADY LUCK!
COME ON. GO.
>> YEAH, BABY!

YEAH!
>> WOO!
GO TIME!

SON OF A BITCH!
LOOK AT THAT POT!
>> QUICK AS YOU [BLEEP]

HUMANLY POSSIBLY CAN DUMP IT
BACK, DUMP IT BACK.
>> WE HAVE A CHANCE NOW.

>> JUST MADE HIS DAY.
ALLS HE WANTS IS THESE TANKS
FULL.

I CAN'T STOP.
>> YEAH!
[ Mock crying ]

I LOVE YOU, MAN.
>> WHOO!
Narrator:

KEEPING A BRUTAL PACE, THE TIME
BANDIT BOYS BATTLE PUNISHING
WINDS IN HEAVY SEAS...

>> YEAH, BABY.
Narrator: ...TO BRING THE OPILIO
CRAB BOUNTY ABOARD.

>> 195.
YEAH!
THAT MUCH ROOM!

THAT MUCH ROOM!
[ LAUGHS ]
>> I'VE NEVER SEEN NO ONE DO

THAT.
WE ALMOST GOT HER DONE.
COUPLE MORE POTS, GUYS, AND

THAT'S IT.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU, KYLE.
YOUR WIFE'S GONNA [BLEEP]

CRY WHEN SHE FINDS OUT.
>> YEAH! WHOO!
[BLEEP] DUDE!

YOU LUCKY SON OF A BITCH.
YOU'LL GET TO GO SEE THAT BABY
BE BORN.

YOUR WIFE'S GONNA BE [BLEEP]
SO HAPPY WHEN YOU CALL HER.
BUT YOU'RE NOT CALLIN' HER YET

'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT POTS TO PULL.
>> MIRACLE. MAGIC.
IT'S MAGIC, BABY.

Narrator: 170 MILES SOUTHEAST IN
KING COVE...
...ON THE BRENNA A...

>> WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH
THE OFFLOAD.
I THINK WE'LL HAVE 60,000

POUNDS.
Narrator: KEEPING HIS DATE WITH
THE CANNERY, ROOKIE CAPTAIN SEAN

DWYER UNLOADS HIS 83,000 POUNDS
OF BAIRDI.
>> I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO

HAVE CAUGHT MORE CRAB FOR THE
TIME AND THE EFFORT THAT WE
SPENT.

BUT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
TENSION CENTERED AROUND BRITT.
HE'S NOT WILLING TO CHANGE ANY

OF HIS BAD HABITS.
Narrator: BUT THE CRAB ISN'T THE
ONLY THING LEAVING THE BOAT.

>> YOU REALLY DO HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER AS ONE OUT THERE.
AND BRITT -- WHAT I SAW WAS THAT

JUST THE CRITICISM ON THE WORK
LEVEL IS CREATING SO MUCH
TENSION TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE

LOSING CRAB BECAUSE OF IT.
IT [BLEEP] YOU KNOW?
I DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE.

IT'S JUST BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.
THIS IS MY LIVELIHOOD.
THIS IS HOW I SUPPORT MYSELF AND

MY MOM AND MY FAMILY.
BRITT, I NEED YOU TO COME IN THE
GALLEY.

>> WHAT'S UP?
>> WELL, KIND OF THE POSITION
I'M IN IS, UH, YOU HAVEN'T

REALLY BEEN GETTIN' ALONG.
IT'S JUST NOT SEEMING TO WORK,
YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, WHERE I'M AT IN ALL THIS
IS BRITT DOESN'T FIT IN WITH THE
REST OF EVERYBODY ON A

PROFESSIONAL OR A PERSONAL
LEVEL.
BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I WAS

PISSED ABOUT THE BIOS.
COULDN'T EVEN KEEP CRAB IN THE
POTS, YOU KNOW?

AND I CAN'T HAVE THAT ON MY
BOAT.
>> I...

>> BUT SEE HERE, BRITT.
THE DECK'S GETTING BETTER, AND
THINGS FOR YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING

WORSE AND WORSE.
THE TENSION IS INFECTIOUS.
I'VE TALKED TO EVERYBODY.

EVERYBODY HERE FEELS WE'D BE
BETTER WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
AND I'M SORRY THAT IT'S NOT

WORKING OUT, BUT I'M GONNA HAVE
TO SEND YOU HOME.
>> OKAY.

>> BUT A-AFTER THIS NEXT TRIP OR
RIGHT NOW?
>> TODAY.

>> RIGHT ON.
SO I'VE GOT YOU A FLIGHT THAT'S
LEAVING HERE...

>> YEAH, I HATE TO CUT THIS
SHORT, BUT THEY ARE GONNA HAVE A
PLANE HERE FOR YOU SHORTLY.

>> OKAY.
>> I JUST DON'T LIKE HOW THINGS
OPERATE, TO BE HONEST.

NOT MUCH I CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW,
SO...
>> I THINK IT WENT JUST ABOUT AS

EXPECTED.
ONE THING THAT MY DAD ALWAYS
TOLD ME WAS THAT THE WAY HE

DEALT WITH PEOPLE WAS THAT WHEN
THEIR PROBLEMS BECAME HIS
PROBLEMS, HE FIXED 'EM.

THEY MIGHT NOT LIKE HOW HE FIXES
'EM, BUT THEY'RE GETTIN' FIXED.
Narrator:

WITH DEAD WEIGHT SHED, CAPTAIN
SEAN AND CREW HOPE TO MOVE UP
THE BOARD.

BUT THEY'LL HAVE TO DO IT A MAN
DOWN.

>> Josh:
ALL RIGHT. LISTEN.
CASEY, IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY.

WE'RE GONNA ENTITLE HIM TO, UH,
SWIM IN THE BERING SEA.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CASEY IS

GONNA DO BECAUSE HE IS OLD AS
[BLEEP]
[ LAUGHTER ]

>> I'M GONNA JUMP IN THE DRINK,
AND THE DRINK'S, LIKE, 30
DEGREES OR SO.

>> EVERYBODY READY.
GOT LIFE-SLING READY.
>> SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA SAY

[BLEEP]
AND JUST DO IT.
>> SHAW GIVES ME THE THUMBS UP.

I'M GONNA COUNT THREE, TWO...
>> HE WENT.
HE WENT.

>> OH YEAH, IT'S COLD.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING, CASEY?
>> I'M GOOD.

>> ARE YOU SURE THAT LINE'S
RATED
ENOUGH TO PICK UP THAT MUCH

WEIGHT?
[ CHUCKLES ] SO FAT.
THAT'S A COLD MOVE BY MR.

MCMANUS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY.
HE'S GOT BIGGER BALLS THAN ME

'CAUSE MINE WOULD HAVE SUCKED UP
INTO MY BODY.
[

Narrator:
IN SAINT PAUL HARBOR...
>> WE GOT OUR FIRST LOAD OFF.

FELT REALLY GOOD.
CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK OUT THERE
AND CATCH SOME MORE.

>> 150,000 POUNDS TO GO.
WE'RE GONNA DO THAT WITH OUR
EYES CLOSED.

Narrator: THE TIME BANDIT CLOSES
THE LID ON A SUCCESSFUL
138,000-POUND OFFLOAD AND

PREPARES TO SEND OFF
FATHER-TO-BE KYLE DYERLY...
>> GETTIN' OUTTA HERE.

>> WE'RE GONNA GO SEND HIM OFF
THE RIGHT WAY.
>> JUST HAVE IT BEHIND YOUR BACK

AND SORTA WALK IN A GROUP.
EDDIE, YOU'RE GONNA RUN --
WALK IN FRONT OF US TO BLOCK US.

>> WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU, YOU
KNOW?
BUT, THE SAME TIME, THE END OF

THE DAY, YOUR WIFE AND THE KID
NEEDS YOU.
THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN US.

ALL RIGHT.
>> LET'S GO SEND HIM OFF WHITE.
>> SO, LIKE, I MISS MY --

MY -- MY HUSBAND TOO.
HE BEEN CHEATING ON ME ALL
ALONG.

[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU, KYLE!
WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU, DYERLY!

I'M GONNA MISS YOU TOO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> ANYWAY, MAN, I'M GONNA MISS

YOU, BUDDY.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD, SAFE,
UH, HEALTHY BABY.

>> THANKS, MAN.
AND I [BLEEP]
YOU GET HOME.

[ LAUGHS ]
BE SAFE.

>> ALL RIGHTY.
HOPE I DON'T MISS MY FLIGHT.
Narrator: 80 MILES NORTHWEST ON

THE OPILIO GROUNDS...
>> IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF DAYS
SINCE WE'VE BEEN WITH THE GEAR.

ALL I'VE BEEN THINKIN' ABOUT IS
MY PICK.
Narrator:

ABOARD THE NORTHWESTERN...
>> NOW HOPEFULLY, THERE'S CRAB
IN THESE POTS.

HOPEFULLY, THEY DIDN'T CRAWL
OUT.
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO MOVE RIGHT

AWAY AND START OVER.
IF WE CAN GET A GOOD PICK, THEN
YOU'RE OFF AND RUNNIN'.

Narrator: AFTER A BANNER
OFFLOAD, CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN
APPROACHES THE POTS HE LEFT

SOAKING...
>> MANDY, COULD YOU MAKE ME A
CUP OF COFFEE?

[ LAUGHS ]
>> ...ASSISTED BY HIS NEW
CAPTAIN-IN-TRAINING.

>> YOU'LL BE DOIN' THAT A LOT.
[ LAUGHS ]
>> IT'S GOTTA BE AT LEAST THE

TWENTIETH CUP I'M MAKIN' HIM.
>> I THINK MANDY'S GONNA COME IN
HANDY NOW.

WE'RE GONNA BREAK HER IN EASILY,
WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T PUT
MANDY UP HERE RIGHT OUT OF THE

GATE.
SO WE GOTTA FIGURE OUT A SYSTEM
TO WORK HER INTO IT.

>> HERE YOU GO, CAPITAN.
>> AHH.
