Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 12, Episode 18 - Deadliest Catch - full transcript

DOWN.
>> "DEADLIEST CATCH" STARTS
RIGHT NOW!

[ BIRD CHIRPING ]

Sig:
EVERY YEAR, SOMETHING HAPPENS
THAT I NEVER THOUGHT OF.

IT'S TOO SOON TO FEEL HAPPY,
PROUD, SAD, GLAD.

I WON'T BE RELIEVED
UNTIL I GET TO SEATTLE.

THAT'S WHEN THE SEASON ENDS
FOR ME.

[ GRUNTS ]

IT'S THE FINAL...
[ GRUNTS ]

[ SIGHS ]
OH, GOD.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT HURTS
SO MUCH RIGHT HERE.

OH [BLEEP]



Man:
WHAT'S WRONG, SIR?

NOTHING.

WE'RE DOING YOUR INTERVIEW.
I'M NOT DYING.

SO JUST LET THAT...GO.

I'M NOT GONNA LET
MY FAMILY SEE THAT.

[ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ GRUNTS ]
[BLEEP]

OH, MY GOD.
IT FEELS LIKE A KNOT.

FEELS LIKE A KNOT.

[ SCOFFS ]

[ GROANS ]

[ SIGHS ]

HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.



I KNOW.
I KNOW THAT.

I'M SAYING LEFT ARM COULD
JUST BE A CRAMP.

IT COULD BE BAD SLEEP.

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S RIGHT HERE.

IT'S LIKE A MUSCLE THING.

RIGHT HERE.

ALL THE WAY UP TO HERE.

HERE, HERE, HERE.

IT'S JUST A...

[ SIGHS ]

OH, MY GOD.
-SIG, I THINK YOU SHOULD GO

TO THE CLINIC.
-[ SIGHS ]

EAT SOMETHING.
YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.

-I DON'T FEEL GOOD.
-I KNOW YOU DON'T.

Sig: IT'S LIKE A KNIFE
IN MY CHEST RIGHT HERE.

I TRIED.
[ Sighing ] OH, GOD.

OH, NO.

OH, MY GOD.

SORRY.

THAT'S IT.

[ GROANS ]

OH, MY GOD.

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE HAD
A SMALL HEART ATTACK.

¶ I'M WANTED ¶

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Narrator: JUST OUTSIDE
DUTCH HARBOR...

EDGAR:
This is the Northwestern.

My brother's experiencing
some severe chest pain.

Can you meet us at the dock
in about a half an hour?

Great.
Thank you.

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

NOW WE'RE GONNA TIE UP
AT TRIDENT DOCK.

GET HIM IN THERE.

AND GET HIM CHECKED OUT.

Narrator:
IN NEED OF HELP FOR HIS
BROTHER'S WORSENING CONDITION,

EDGAR HANSEN RACES TO SHORE

TO ARRANGE IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.

A LOT OF STRESS.

THIS JOB AIN'T EASY.

MY DAD HAD A HEART ATTACK
AT 63 AND...

MOM'S GOT
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

IF IT'S IN THE GENES,
IT'S IN THE GENES.

A LOT OF STRESS.

THAT'S FOR SURE.

[ WHISTLES ]

[ SIREN WAILING ]

Edgar:
[ GROANS ]

IT'S MOST LIKELY
A HEART ATTACK,

BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW,
WE DON'T KNOW.

Narrator: EDGAR AND NICK
FOLLOW THE EMTs

AS THEY TRANSPORT SIG
TO THE AIRPORT.

WE GOT TO GET HIM MEDEVAC'd OUT
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT --

THEY'RE NOT EQUIPPED
TO HANDLE THIS HERE.

ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER.

WE GOT A SEASON FOR NIGHTMARE
GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

[ SIREN CHIRPS ]

Narrator: WITH SIG'S CONDITION
TOO CRITICAL

FOR THE LOCAL CLINIC,
HE'LL BE AIRLIFTED 800 MILES

TO A CARDIOLOGIST IN ANCHORAGE.

Nick: ALL RIGHT, SIG,
YOU FEEL BETTER, MAN.

THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

Narrator: WITH ONE CAPTAIN'S
FUTURE IN THE BALANCE...

[ BIRD CHIRPING ]

Men: WHOO!

Narrator: THE REST OF THE FLEET
MAKES ONE FINAL STAND...

Keith: PRETTY MUCH DOWN
TO OUR LAST STRAW.

IT'S NOT HOW YOU START.
IT'S HOW YOU FINISH.

Narrator: ...TO CLAIM
THE LAST OF THE WINTER CATCH

BEFORE IT DRIES UP
FOR THE SEASON.

AROUND THESE PARTS,
GUYS LIKE US,

WE DON'T GIVE UP.

YO, HO-HO!

CHARGE!

Narrator: ON THE BRENNA A...

Sean: CAME OUT HERE TO JUST SHOW
EVERYBODY THAT I COULD,

AND THAT MEANS
NOT LOSING THE CRAB,

NOT LOSING MY MOMENTUM.

Narrator: ...23-YEAR-OLD
SEAN DWYER HAS SPENT THE SEASON

WORKING TO PRESERVE
HIS FATHER'S LEGACY...

-YEAH!
-A LOT OF PEOPLE COME OUT HERE,

AND THEY FAIL,
BUT I LOVE A GOOD CHALLENGE,

JUST LIKE HE DID.

WHY GIVE UP EVER?

NEVER STOP.

Narrator:
...WHILE, ON THE CAPE CAUTION...

Bill: YOU KNOW, ZACK HAS
FOLLOWED IN MY FOOTSTEPS.

HE'S GOT ALL THE POTENTIAL
IN THE WORLD

TO BE A GOOD CAPTAIN,
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF

THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
BEFORE THAT COMES AROUND.

Narrator:
CAPTAIN "WILD" BILL WICHROWSKI
CONTINUES TO HOLD OUT HOPE

THAT HIS SON CAN ASCEND
TO THE WHEELHOUSE.

IT'S CALL TIME FOR ZACK.

HE'S EITHER GONNA STEP UP
AND STEP UP TO THE PLATE

AND PICK THE BAT,

OR HE CAN KICK
SOME DIRT AROUND ON THE BENCH.

Narrator:
AND ON THE CORNELIA MARIE...

Josh: I AM SO CLOSE
TO WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER TO BE

THE PERFECT SEASON --
FIRST YEAR RUNNING THE BOAT.

BUT I'LL BE A MONKEY'S UNCLE
IF WE'RE NOT TOASTING CHAMPAGNE

WHEN THIS IS ALL DONE.

Narrator: ...JOSH HARRIS BANKS
ON THIS FINAL PUSH

TO PROVE HE DESERVES
THE TITLE OF CAPTAIN.

THE WHOLE OBJECTIVE
OF THIS SEASON IS

TO PLACE MORE RESPONSIBILITY
ON JOSH.

IF YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THE TORCH,
YOU AIN'T GONNA TRIP.

¶¶

Narrator:
ON THE 107-FOOT SAGA...

I GOT THREE MORE DAYS.
WE'RE ABOUT TO HAUL A TOWN PICK.

I HOPE WE CAN GET 80,000 POUNDS.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN JAKE ANDERSON BETS

ON POTS HE LEFT SOAKING
FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS

TO FINISH OFF HIS OPILIO QUOTA.

I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
TO HAUL MY TOWN PICK,

BUT I GOT TO STAY FOCUSED NOW.

I CAN'T -- THIS ISN'T A TIME
TO START LOSING MY COOL.

GO THE [BLEEP] INSIDE!

GET THE [BLEEP] OFF MY BOAT!

SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP!

YOU [BLEEP] LISTEN!

[BLEEP]

Narrator: AFTER A SEASON
OF MORE LOWS THAN HIGHS...

ALL RIGHT,
YOU LITTLE [BLEEP] [BLEEP]

I'M YOUR [BLEEP] CAPTAIN!

[BLEEP] [BLEEP]
[BLEEP] YOU!

Narrator: ...JAKE NEEDS
TO KEEP HIS COOL

AS HE CLOSES THE FINAL CHAPTER

OF HIS FIRST FULL YEAR
AS CAPTAIN.

Jake:
I THINK THE PRESSURE BUILDS UP.

THAT'S WHEN I GET UPSET.

IT DEFINITELY AFFECTS
THE PEOPLE AROUND ME,

WHICH I DON'T LIKE.

I THINK MY GOAL IS,
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,

THAT I CAN REMAIN CALM.

ALL RIGHT, FELLAS.
WE'RE RIGHT HERE.

YOU GUYS READY TO GO?

-ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.
-YEAH.

BRINGING IT BACK.
YOU GOT IT.

Jake: AND, HOPEFULLY,
THERE'LL BE SOMETHING IN IT.

IT SHOULD GIVE ME
PLENTY OF CRAB.

WHAT THE [BLEEP]

ARE YOU
[BLEEP] KIDDING ME, DUDE?

WE'RE JUST BACK
TO THE SAME OLD CRAP,

WHICH IS SLIVERS.

Narrator:
WITH POTS COMING UP EMPTY...

WHAT THE [BLEEP] IS WRONG
WITH THAT ONE?

Narrator: ...THE PROSPECTS
FOR A TRIUMPHANT ENDING

TO THE SAGA'S SEASON ARE SLIM.

JUST WASTING
MORE OF OUR TIME.

I'M TRYING TO STAY CALM,
BUT [BLEEP]

I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME.

I NEED TO GET THESE POTS
ON 50s, 100s,

200s, 300s --
WHATEVER I CAN GET 'EM ON --

AND I NEED TO GET 'EM
ON CRAB NOW.

WHOO.

[BLEEP]

EVERYTHING HAS TO GO RIGHT,

AND EVERYTHING STARTING OUT
TODAY HAS NOT GONE RIGHT.

[ RADIO RINGS ]

THIS IS SAGA. JAKE.

MAN:
What's going on, Jake?

Probably
pretty good, huh?

[ RADIO CHIMES ]

Jake: YEAH, I WISH.

Narrator: JAKE TAKES A CALL
FROM HIS CANNERY.

[BLEEP]

[ RADIO CHIMES ]

TOMORROW AT NOON?

[BLEEP]
[BLEEP] WITH ME?

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ RADIO CHIMES ]

I JUST, UH -- I JUST HAULED
MY FIRST STRING.

AND I'M 100 MILES
AWAY FROM YOU.

Narrator: AS THE SEASON
WINDS DOWN...

[ RADIO CHIMES ]

[ SIGHS ]

...SO THE BOAT'S OPTIONS
OF TIME SLOTS TO OFFLOAD CRAB.

[BLEEP]

TODAY'S FRIDAY.

FRIDAY -- SO I FISH ALL DAY,
AND THEN I JUST BOLT,

LIKE, TAKE MY 75 POTS...

I'LL JUST DO SUNDAY.

[ RADIO CHIMES ]

YEAH, SUNDAY.

IF I COULD GET MONDAY,
THAT WOULD EVEN BE BETTER,

BUT I'LL GET THERE AS --

WHENEVER YOU TELL ME
THAT I CAN GET THERE.

Okay, we'll see you then.
Sounds good.

[BLEEP]

[ RADIO CHIMES ]
[BLEEP] SHUT UP!

SHUT UP!

THAT WAS THE CANNERY.
THEY WANT CRAB SUNDAY.

80,000 POUNDS --
I HAVE NO IDEA.

I THOUGHT THREE DAYS.
THE CANNERY IS IN CONTROL.

THEY NEED CRAB,
SO THEY'LL PULL IN

EVERY BOAT THEY CAN
TO KEEP THE PLANT FED

SO THAT THEY DON'T LOSE REVENUE.

WE'RE JUST THE --
WE'RE JUST A PAWN NOW.

Narrator: WITH AN OFFLOAD
SOONER THAN EXPECTED,

THE YOUNG CAPTAIN WILL HAVE
TO CATCH FOUR TIMES

HIS 20,000-POUND DAILY AVERAGE
TO FILL HIS BOAT.

HEY, FELLAS,
MEET ME IN THE GALLEY --

EVERYBODY.

EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF YOU.

YOU READY TO HEAR THE DEAL?
-YEAH.

UH...

WE'RE [BLEEP]

-NOT AGAIN.
-WE HAVE TO OFFLOAD ON SUNDAY.

-FOR WHAT?
-THAT'S OUR OFFLOAD DAY.

THEY'RE PULLING US IN.

HE'S ALL, "WELL,
I DON'T HAVE ANY CRAB."

TODAY'S FRIDAY.

WE HAVE TO LEAVE
TOMORROW MORNING, SO...

[ SCOFFS, LAUGHS ]

...LET'S HOPE WE CAN GET
80,000 POUNDS,

AND THEN WE'LL BE DONE.

IT'S GONNA BE
A LONG LITTLE NIGHT.

GET [BLEEP]

[ LAUGHTER ]

I GOT TO STAY COOL,
AND I GOT TO STAY FOCUSED.

THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE.

Man:
HE TOTALLY [BLEEP] US.

[BLEEP] SUCKS, DUDE.

I HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE.

THERE'S THE CROSS RIGHT THERE.

SO I'M GONNA TAKE THIS STRING

AND JUST LAY IT RIGHT IN THERE
WHERE NOBODY'S BEEN.

Narrator: OUT OF TIME...

WE'LL STACK ON...

Narrator:
...JAKE WILL MOVE ALL 75 POTS

FURTHER FROM THE FLEET
AND HOPE FOR A MIRACLE.

[ SIGHS ]

I JUST DON'T -- I JUST DON'T SEE
HOW ON EARTH I CAN GET

80,000 POUNDS IN 24 HOURS.

IT'S GONNA BE A FEAT.

WE'RE AT THE MERCY
OF THE PROCESSING PLANTS.

Narrator: ANCHORAGE, ALASKA --

Sig: [ COUGHING ]

Narrator: A TEAM OF EMTs
TRANSPORT CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN

FROM THE AIRPORT
TO THE HOSPITAL.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

Woman: OKEY-DOKE.

NOW WE'LL DISCONNECT YOU
FROM THIS CORD.

THEY'RE GONNA TAKE YOU
DOWN ON IT.

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

Sig: [ GRUNTS ]

Woman #2: SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS GET YOU ON OUR MONITOR,

BRING YOU DOWN
TO THE CATH LAB,

AND GET YOU READY
FOR THIS HEART CATHETERIZATION.

OKAY?

Narrator: A SPECIALIZED TEST
WILL DETERMINE IF SIG HAS HAD

A HEART ATTACK.

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

Woman #2:
NEXT ONE DOWN.

Dr. Amos: WE'RE WORRIED THAT
HE HAS A RUPTURED PLAQUE...

WHICH IS JUST CHOLESTEROL
AND BUILDUP IN YOUR ARTERIES.

SO WE LOOK AT THE FILLING
OF THE ARTERIES.

AND THEN, IF THERE'S
A FILLING DEFECT --

THAT'S WHERE A CLOT CAN BE,

AND THAT CAN BE
LIFE-THREATENING.

THAT'S WHY STROKE IS A
POTENTIAL COMPLICATION OF THIS.

IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST RISKS
FOR THIS.

Narrator: UNCHECKED,
RUPTURED PLAQUE CAN MOVE

THROUGH THE BLOOD STREAM
TO THE BRAIN,

LEAVING SIG VULNERABLE
TO A STROKE.

Dr. Amos: SO,
WE ALL HAVE AGREEMENT

THAT IF ANYTHING,
SORT OF COMPLICATIONS OCCUR,

THAT WE'RE -- WE'RE DONE.
WE'RE NOT --

YES?
IS THAT GOOD?

SO IF ANYTHING OCCURS, I DON'T
WANT TO BE HAVING FILMING

OF SOMEBODY GOING INTO ARREST
OR SOME SUCH THING.

Man: OKAY.

[ MONITOR BEEPING,
HEART BEATING ]

[ SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE ]

Narrator:
860 MILES SOUTHWEST...

I LOST THE MONEY-BALL AREA,

SO WE'RE GETTING THE AFTERMATH
OF WHAT'S LEFT.

Man: THAT AIN'T GONNA BE
[BLEEP] GOOD.

Narrator: ...ON THE 128-FOOT
CORNELIA MARIE...

Man: AND EMPTY.

Josh: NOTHING.

WE NEED BIGGER NUMBERS
THAN THAT.

WE REALLY NEED IT RIGHT NOW
MORE THAN EVER.

WE WANT
TO [BLEEP] HAVE A --

WHAT COULD BE CONSIDERED
A PERFECT YEAR.

I TRIED SO HARD THIS YEAR,
SACRIFICED A LOT OF [BLEEP]

TO MAKE
THIS MOMENT HAPPEN.

I WILL NOT FAIL THIS.

Narrator:
AFTER A BREAKOUT SEASON...

-WORST STRING EVER!
-EVER!

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN JOSH HARRIS' LUCK,

LIKE THE CRAB, HAS DRIED UP.

WE GOT 100,000 MORE POUNDS
TO GET IN THE NEXT THREE DAYS.

OH, THIS STRING HAS BEEN
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.

WE NEED TO FIND NEW GROUND
ALL THE WAY AROUND.

SO, YOU KNOW,
WE'LL SEARCH.

STACK THIS ONE THEN...

IT'S PRETTY BAD.

Narrator: NOT CONTENT
TO GRIND ON LOW NUMBERS,

THE ROOKIE WILL STACK AND LOOK
FOR MORE FERTILE GROUNDS.

WE HAD ONE MORE
THAN THE LAST ONE, THOUGH.

Josh: MY DAD, YOU KNOW, HE WAS
THE KING OF CRAB FISHING

FOR A LONG TIME.

AND I WANT TO BE
IN THE RUNNING FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW, I WANT TO BE
ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BEST,

GET [BLEEP] DONE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

CORNELIA MARIE --
THIS IS JOSH.

HEY, AL.
HOW ARE WE DOING THIS MORNING?

COOL. WHAT TIME
ARE YOU THINKING OF?

OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.

BYE.

[BLEEP] BIZARRE.

[BLEEP] JUST GOT REAL.

Josh:
UH, AL JUST CALLED.

THEY WANTS US IN
A FEW DAYS FROM NOW.

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

WELL, IT'S -- WE HAVE
TO WAIT A WEEK OTHERWISE.

Narrator: SIMILAR TO THE SAGA,
THE LACK OF CRAB HAS FORCED

THE CANNERY TO TIGHTEN
JOSH'S SCHEDULE,

LEAVING HIM JUST 12 HOURS
TO CATCH 44,000 POUNDS.

Man:
WHOMP, WHOMP!

IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

[ SIGHS ]

IT TAKES YOU 36 HOURS
TO GET IN.

THE MATH
ALREADY DOESN'T WORK.

OKAY, THEN,
WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

WHAT'S
YOUR SUGGESTION THEN?

YOU JUST MISS
THE [BLEEP] DATE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.

[BLEEP]

UNLESS YOU GET TO 45 AVERAGE,
IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

THERE'S NO [BLEEP] WAY.

Man: THAT'S NOT GONNA GET US
OUT OF HERE.

Josh: A LOT OF GUYS UP NORTH,
THEY'RE FISHING THE [BLEEP]

OUT OF THE AREA, SO WE'RE GONNA
TAKE IT DOWN SOUTH.

WITH ANY LUCK,
I'LL PLACE THESE POTS

WHERE I NEED THEM TO BE.

I WILL MAKE MY DATE.

I WILL MAKE MY MARK.
[BLEEP]

HELL OR HIGH WATER,
[BLEEP] IS GOING DOWN.

HEY, MORE POWER TO YOU.
MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.

Narrator: THE YOUNG CAPTAIN
WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

Y'ALL HEAD SOUTH
IN A LAST-DITCH EFFORT

TO FILL HIS BOAT.

Josh:
WE'LL MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.

I'LL PROVE TO MYSELF
AND OUR PARTNERS

THAT I CAN DO THIS.

Narrator: 180 MILES NORTH
OF DUTCH HARBOR...

ON THE 113-FOOT TIME BANDIT...

OKAY, GUYS.

WE GET 150 AVERAGE
THROUGH THE YEAR,

WE GET TO GO HOME

WITH THESE TANKS
COMPLETELY TUCKERED.

I'M TRYING TO GET
THROUGH THIS BY MIDNIGHT

SO I STILL HAVE A CHANCE.

OH, GOD, HELP ME.

Narrator: WITH OVER $100,000
IN CRAB STILL TO CATCH,

CAPTAIN JOHNATHAN HILLSTRAND
COUNTS ON THE NEXT STRING

TO CAP OFF HIS SEASON.

Johnathan: I HAD LITTLE SPOT
HERE WHERE WE HAVE SOME 190s.

WE CALL IT DAISY DUKE 'CAUSE
IT'S SUCH A SMALL LITTLE SPOT --

'CAUSE OF HER SHORTS.

I DON'T KNOW.

NOBODY PROBABLY KNOWS
WHO DAISY DUKE IS BUT ME.

[ LAUGHS ]

HOPEFULLY, THEY'RE THERE.

AND HERE WE GO.

I'VE GOT A FEELING THIS IS
THE SPOT WE NEED TO FISH.

Johnathan: COME ON, BABY.

DON'T MAKE ME CRY.

DON'T MAKE ME CRY!

OH.

WHOA.

SON OF A BITCH.

[ SIGHS ]

IT AIN'T EASY.

WE'RE HOPING TO GET BETTER CRAB.

[ GROANS ]

OH, MY GOD.

[ GRUNTS ]

[ GROANS ]

THIS THING'S TICKING,

AND WE AIN'T GOT NO TIME
FOR JACK SQUAT,

FOR DIDDLY-SQUAT.

WE REALLY NEED
TO CHANGE OUR LUCK.

SO YOU GUYS MIGHT BE
GETTING MOHAWKS HERE REAL SOON.

-ALL RIGHT!
-[LAUGHS] YEAH.

NEXT POT.
-OH [BLEEP]

WE GONNA GET
A MOHAWK, BUDDY!

-SWEET.
-GET THE BUZZER READY!

Narrator: A TRADITION
ON THE BEARING SEA...

[ GROWLS ]

...MOHAWKS ARE AN OFFERING
TO THE CRAB GODS FOR LUCK.

-[ GROWLS ]
-THAT'S WHY I NEED

CRAB COMING IN.

I WANT TO SEE SOME HEADS,
SO SCALPS.

IT'S A LOT OF HAIR TO LOSE FOR
JUST, LIKE, A DAY OF FISHING.

I'VE ALREADY BLED
AND SWEAT FOR THIS BOAT.

WE'RE ABOUT
TO GO BACK HOME,

WHERE MY HAIR IS
ACTUALLY USEFUL.

RIGHT.
HERE IT IS.

LET'S SEE
HOW IT'S BETTER NUMBERS.

Man: OHH.

I THINK THAT SOMEONE'S
GONNA GET A MOHAWK.

I'M THINKING THERE'S
SOME MOHAWKS GONNA BE HAPPENING.

YEAH, BABY.
YOU GET A MOHAWK.

OH [BLEEP]

THEN, WE CAN START.
THEN, WE BETTER BE READY!

¶¶

THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME.

IT'S MOHAWK TIME.

-COMES WITH THE JOB, RIGHT?
-YEAH.

THERE WE GO.

WELCOME TO
THE TIME BANDIT BARBER SHOP.

[ CLIPPERS BUZZING ]

[ Flatly ]
SO EXCITED.

-YEAH, BABY.
-YEAH, BABY.

Johnathan: MAN, YOU GOT
SOME THICK HAIR, DUDE.

WOW, THAT'S THE BEST --
THAT'S SOME GOOD HAIR THERE.

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA
BE BALD, EVER.

-[ LAUGHS ]
-YEP!

TAKE IT ALL.

-WHAT ABOUT PHILLIP?
-WHAT ABOUT PHILLIP?

PHILLIP'S BEEN REAL QUIET
OVER THERE, HASN'T HE?

[ LAUGHTER ]
WE FORGOT ALL ABOUT HIM.

DUDE, THAT LOOKS SWEET,
ACTUALLY.

Johnathan:
I LOVE YOU [BLEEP]

THE WARRIORS --
WE GOT WARRIORS ON DECK.

YEAH, BABY!

GOT MOHAWKS 'CAUSE WE NEED
SOME LUCK AROUND HERE.

HOPEFULLY, WE PULL
OUR 150 AVERAGE.

GOD, PLEASE.

LET'S GET 'ER DONE, BOYS.

YEAH!

I TOLD YOU IT WOULD BE --
SON OF A BITCH!

LOOK AT THAT POT!

YEAH!

TIME BANDIT WARRIOR!

-YEAH!
-ALL RIGHT, BOYS!

Narrator: DEFYING ALL REASON,
THE CRABS RESPOND

TO THE MIGHT OF THE MOHAWK.

Johnathan: WE GOT MOHAWKS,

AND LOOK
AT THE [BLEEP] BIG CRAB.

THE NEXT POT -- BIG CRAB.

Man: DAMN!

[ LAUGHTER ]
THE POWER OF THE MOHAWK!

I WANT...ON OPIE.

FIVE WARRIORS AND ONE HIPPIE.

[ LAUGHS ]

ONE [BLEEP] BAD-ASS HIPPIE.

YEAH, BOSS!

AAH!
[ GROWLS ]

YEAH, BABY!

THAT'S GONNA FILL UP
THE TANK FAST.

THAT DON'T MAKE ME SMILE,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO.

WELCOME ABOARD!

TIME BANDIT POWER,
BABY!

230 CRAB, DUDE!

310 WAS THE NEXT ONE.

HEY, GET BACK HERE!

2-8-0.

WE'RE GOING HOME,
MY FRIEND.

YOU DO NOT PASS GO.
YOU DO NOT COLLECT $200.

GO DIRECTLY TO DUTCH.

Narrator:
55 MILES NORTHEAST...

ON THE 108-FOOT CAPE CAUTION...

Bill:
COMING IN ON THE HOME STRETCH,

AND THE HOME STRETCH DON'T LOOK
LIKE WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT HOME.

BAIRDI ARE HARD TO CATCH.

THEY'RE THE CAGIEST
LITTLE SONS OF GUNS.

WE HAD THIS HORRIBLE START.
THE FIRST 55 POTS WERE GARBAGE.

YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T HIT
THE HOME RUN.

WE DIDN'T EVEN GET
A GROUND RULE DOUBLE, YOU KNOW?

Narrator: ...AFTER
A SUCCESSFUL OPILIO SEASON...

MAN: 14 total --
1-4.

I'M SORRY.

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN "WILD"
BILL WICHROWSKI IS FINDING

THE BAIRDI...

...LESS COOPERATIVE.

WE WERE REALLY HOPING
FOR A SHORT, QUICK TRIP.

BUT NOTHING ABOUT BAIRDI HAS
BEEN SHORT OR QUICK FOR US.

Bill: MY JOB IS CUT OUT FOR ME
TO TURN THIS THING AROUND

AND GET
SOME CRAB COMING ABOARD.

I NEED TO MAKE
A BIG TURNAROUND.

Narrator: NOW, WITH THE BULK
OF HIS 150,000 POUNDS

STILL IN THE BERING SEA...

Bill: IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE
THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES...

WE'RE GONNA LOOK LIKE
THE CLAMPETTS GOING UP THE HILL.

Narrator: THE SKIPPER IS
BACK ON THE HUNT.

SO, BASICALLY, IT'S MY PLAN
TO GET THIS GEAR UP THE HILL,

FIND A SPOT, FEEL COMFORTABLE
PUTTING IT IN THE WATER,

AND THEN REARRANGE EVERYTHING
WE'VE GOT IN THE WATER.

AND THEN,
WE LOOK AT WHERE WE'RE AT.

IT'S A BIG MOVE,
AND IT'S BASICALLY LIKE STARTING

THE TRIP ALL OVER.

AND IF IT DOESN'T PAY,

IT'S GONNA BE A BITCH.

Man: COME ON, BITCH!

[ METAL CREAKS ]

DAMN IT.

THE SEAL JUST BLEW
ON OUR PICKING WINCH.

SO WE NEED TO REPLACE IT.

Bill: THE WHAT WENT OUT?

Man: THE SEAL ON THE DRIVE
ON THE PICKING WINCH WENT OUT.

[BLEEP]

WHEN DO WE GET A BREAK?
IT'S GONNA --

ALL RIGHT, WELL,
WE KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE.

WE'VE GOT A SPARE.
LET'S GET IT CHANGED.

NASCAR -- LET'S GO.
-OKAY.

WE CAN'T HAUL GEAR
WITHOUT A PICKING WINCH.

Narrator: A BUSTED
PICKING WINCH HALTS FISHING...

Bill: OKAY, WE HAVE
A PROBLEM ON DECK.

WE'VE GOT A DISCUSSION
ON ABILITIES

ON TAKING OVER A BOAT.

I SAY WE LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
AND SEE WHO DOES THE MECHANICAL.

Narrator:
...AND SETS UP ANOTHER TEST

FOR BILL'S SON, ZACK LARSON.

Bill: SO WILL ZACK FIX THIS?

WILL ZACK BE IN THE MIDDLE,
TURNING WRENCHES,

OR WILL ZACK STAND THERE

AND WATCH NICK FIX
THE MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN?

I'M NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING,
BUT WE'LL BE ABLE

TO SEE IT HERE
RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW.

Nick: OKAY, I NEED SOMEBODY
JUST TO HAND ME TOOLS.

I'M GONNA GO UP THERE.
ALL RIGHT?

ONCE AGAIN, SOMETHING BREAKS --

WE GOT A DOER AND A WATCHER,

NICK BEING THE DOER,
AND ZACK BEING THE WATCHER.

Nick: A COUPLE OF NUTS IN THERE.
WHAT A SURPRISE.

HE HOPS UP THERE.
I COORDINATE STUFF DOWN HERE.

IT SHOULD WORK OUT
PRETTY WELL.

I'M TRYING
TO MAKE HIM A CAPTAIN.

IT'S ALMOST THE END
OF THE SEASON.

ZACK IS SO FAR FROM BEING READY
TO DO THIS, IT'S SCARY.

Narrator: FOR THE LAST YEAR...

THIS ISN'T A RACE
TO ME AT ALL.

No problem fishing here.

I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS SURE CUT
FROM A DIFFERENT MOLD.

Narrator: ...BILL WAS FOCUSED
ON FURTHERING HIS SON'S CAREER.

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
THAT I'M GONNA INVEST IN A BOAT

THAT I'LL RUN FOR A WHILE,
AND THEN EVENTUALLY

HE CAN POSSIBLY BUY IT BACK
FROM ME.

Narrator: AND SO FAR, ZACK
HASN'T SHOWN A LOT OF INTEREST.

IF ZACK DOESN'T PURSUE
MORE KNOWLEDGE,

I WILL NOT BUY A BOAT.

IF HE WAS UP HERE,
HE WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE.

YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE HE HASN'T ASKED ME

ONE TIME ALL SEASON,
"WHERE DO YOU SET?

WHY DO YOU SET?
HOW DO YOU SET?"

HASN'T ASKED ME ONCE.

AND I'LL TELL YOU FOR SURE --
IF HE DOESN'T PUT SOME EFFORT IN

OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO,

IT'S GONE
FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR.

HEY, ZACK, THERE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

INSTEAD OF WASTING
ANOTHER HOUR...

MAYBE IF HE'D LISTEN
TO WHAT THE [BLEEP] I SAY...

BILL EXPECTS A LOT.

I'M TRYING REALLY HARD TO LEARN.

AND IT'S REALLY HARD FOR ME TO,
YOU KNOW, GET TALKED DOWN TO.

SO...

WHATEVER.

I MEAN, MAYBE HE DOESN'T WANT
TO BE A CAPTAIN.

YES!

YOU KNOW, DEEP DOWN, MAYBE
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

AND THAT'S WHY
HE'S DRAGGING HIS FEET.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT SOMEHOW, THERE'S
A CONVERSATION COMING TODAY

THAT IS LIKE,
"DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

OR ARE YOU AFRAID OF DOING THIS?

OR YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY PLANS ON DOING THIS?"

THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH TIME LEFT.

Man: THROW IT OVER!

Man #2: YEAH!

Narrator: ACROSS
THE REMOTE BERING SEA...

Jake:
I'M ABOUT TO THROW UP.

I'M OUT OF AREA TO FISH,
AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

Narrator:
...WITH THE FINAL HOURS
OF THE SEASON UPON THEM...

Jake: GETTING READY TO SET
THESE BAD BOYS

AT THE LOWER END OF THE CROSS.

GET THEM BACK IN THE WATER.
GET THEM FISHING.

Narrator: ...THE YOUNG GUNS
OF THE FLEET...

Man: YEAH, BABY!

Narrator: ...MAKE MOVES
TO FILL THEIR BOATS...

Josh:
TODAY IS VERY CRUCIAL.

WE GOT A DELIVERY DATE
THAT WE HAVE TO MEET.

HOPEFULLY, WITH ANY LUCK...

WE'LL KNOCK THIS
OUT OF THE PARK.

Narrator:
...EACH WITH THEIR OWN STRATEGY.

Sean: WE'RE CLOSE, BUT IT'S
NOT OVER TILL IT'S OVER.

THE WEST EDGE IS
THE PLACE TO BE.

THE EASTERN EDGE IS OLD NEWS.
TRY TO STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE.

Narrator: THIS FINAL SET
WILL MAKE OR BREAK

THE THREE CAPTAINS
WITH THE MOST TO PROVE.

Sean: THERE'S A LOT
OF COMPETITION OUT HERE.

THE FIRST SEASON IS THE PROOF
THAT I'M NOT MESSING AROUND,

YOU KNOW, THAT I'M HERE TO STAY.

BUT I GOT TO FINISH
THIS SEASON OUT.

IT'S NOT OVER TILL THAT LAST
LITTLE BIT OF CRAB GOES

IN THE TANK, YOU KNOW?

Narrator: 210 MILES SOUTHEAST...

IN DUTCH HARBOR...

HE'S LUCKY.

A LOT OF THINGS COULD HAVE
GONE WRONG.

SO, I HOPE WE CAN...

GET SOME BETTER NEWS
BY THE TIME WE GET TO SEATTLE.

YEAH, THIS JOB IS...

THIS JOB WILL DO IT TO YOU.

Narrator: EDGAR HANSEN
AND THE NORTHWESTERN CREW...

[ SIGHS ]

Narrator:
...PREPARE TO THROW LINES.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT SIG.

SO...EVERYBODY'S
JUST SORT OF SOMBER.

IT'S AN EYE-OPENER.

WE STILL GOT TO GET TO SEATTLE.

JUST TRY TO GET HOME --
IT'S BEEN A TOUGH ONE.

Narrator:
CRAB SEASON MAY BE OVER,

BUT THEY STILL HAVE
A 2,000-MILE TRIP

BACK TO SEATTLE.

IT'S A LOT OF TIME
TO HEAL IN THE NEXT WEEK.

SO, I HOPE WE CAN...

GET SOME BETTER NEWS
BY THE TIME WE GET TO SEATTLE.

UH, MORALE'S OKAY.
WE'RE ALL JUST TIRED, YOU KNOW?

YESTERDAY WAS
A TRYING DAY, YOU KNOW?

[ Sighing ]
ALL RIGHTY.

YOU READY TO GO, MAVAR?

-READY, BOSS?
-YEAH, YEP.

Nick: OKAY.

YEAH, HERE WE GO.

[ SIGHS ]

FULL STEAM AHEAD.
-FULL STEAM AHEAD.

Narrator: 800 MILES NORTHEAST...

IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA...

CAPTAIN SIG'S WIFE, JUNE,

AND DAUGHTERS, NINA AND MANDY,
ARRIVE FROM THE LOWER 48 STATES.

-HI.
-HEY.

HELLO, KIDDIES.
-WE JUST GO HERE.

Sig: MM!

HOW YOU DOING?

I DON'T FEEL GOOD AT ALL.

[ LAUGHS ]
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

GET YOU HERE FASTER.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

-OKAY IF I INTERRUPT?
-YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

-OF COURSE.
-SO EVERYBODY'S FLOWN IN?

I'VE GOT
ALL THE BEAUTIES IN HERE.

Dr. Amos:
SOUNDS LIKE IT.

I JUST WANTED
TO GO OVER WHAT WE FOUND.

SO, WE DID WHAT'S CALLED
A VENTRICULOGRAM

WHERE WE PUT
A WHOLE BUNCH OF CONTRAST

AND LOOK
AT HIS HEART FUNCTION.

THIS WHOLE WALL IS NOT WORKING,
AND THIS ONE'S NOT WORKING.

IT'S CALLED
A STRESS-INDUCED HEART FAILURE,

WHERE A MAJOR, STRESSFUL EVENT
OR MORE STRESS THAN USUAL

CAN CAUSE HEART FAILURE.

AND THE WAY WE GET TROPONIN
IN THE BLOOD IS

THE CELLS DIE AND RELEASE
THEIR CONTENTS INTO THE BLOOD.

SO, A LITTLE HEART ATTACK
WOULD BE A TROPONIN OF 0.5 OR 1.

HIS WAS 80.

YEAH, A BIG,
BIG BUMP IN TROPONIN.

SO, YOU HAD
A LOT OF HEART DAMAGE.

IT COULD HAVE KILLED YOU.

YOU HAD THE WIDOW-MAKER.

-YOU THINK SO?
-MM-HMM.

WITH A TROPONIN OF 80 --
-THAT CAN'T -- WELL --

IT WAS
A HIT TO THE HEART.

THIS WAS A BIG ONE.
THIS COULD HAVE KILLED YOU.

YOU'RE LUCKY.

HE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH
OF CLOT-BUSTERS CALLED LYTICS

WHEN HE WAS
IN DUTCH HARBOR.

LUCKILY,
THOSE CLOT-BUSTERS WORKED

AND OPENED THAT VESSEL,
SO THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

THE NATURAL PROGRESSION
OF HEART FAILURE IS

IT GETS WORSE
OVER THE TIME.

AND 50% OF PEOPLE CAN BE DEAD
AT FIVE YEARS

IF YOU DO NOTHING.

SO WHATEVER DAMAGE
ISN'T GONNA REGENERATE?

NO, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE
GONNA NEED A CARDIOLOGIST

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
-[BLEEP]

AND THAT'S WHY WE WANT
TO PREVENT ANOTHER ONE,

'CAUSE A SECOND HIT,
OBVIOUSLY,

THEN YOU GET WORSE
AND WORSE HEART FAILURE

GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND.
-WHAT THE --

WHY THE HELL
AM I GETTING HEART ATTACKS?

WELL, SMOKING,
WHICH YOU DO,

SO WE NEED TO WORK ON THAT,
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

AND I DON'T LOSE MY JOB.
NOBODY CAN TAKE MY SPOT, RIGHT?

I CAN GO FISHING.

WELL, LIFESTYLE CHANGES

DEFINITELY MAKE A DIFFERENCE,
YOU KNOW?

IT'S YOUR BIGGEST
RISK FACTOR.

WELL, YOU HAD ME FEELING GOOD
FOR A MINUTE THERE.

IF YOU DO THE THINGS
WE RECOMMEND,

YOU WILL HAVE
A NORMAL LIFE SPAN.

IF NOT,
IT WILL NOT BE PRETTY.

SO, 72 HOURS FROM NOW IS
WHEN I'D LET YOU GO.

WE'RE JUST WATCHING,
MAKING SURE,

AND THAT WAY
WE CAN JUMP ON YOU

IF A CODE --
IF YOUR HEART STOPS.

-IT COULD STILL STOP?
-WELL, YEAH,

'CAUSE IT'S IRRITATED
FROM THAT HEART ATTACK.

IF YOU'RE OUT AND ABOUT, THEN
IT'S OUT OF HOSPITAL ARREST.

AND IT'S, YOU KNOW --
TIME IS MUSCLE AND BRAIN.

-THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
-YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
-YEAH, THANKS YOU SO MUCH.

-YOU'RE WELCOME. YOU'RE WELCOME.
-WE APPRECIATE IT.

Narrator: 225 MILES
NORTH OF DUTCH HARBOR...

ON THE CAPE CAUTION.

YEAH, LET IT GO.

[ BEEP ]

¶¶

WE'RE MAKING THE MOVE
FOR A REASON.

WE'RE INTO IT FULL SWING.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE
TO TURN THIS THING AROUND.

Narrator:
HAVING NO LUCK DOWN SOUTH,

CAPTAIN "WILD" BILL WICHROWSKI
MOVED ALL HIS 60 POTS

NORTH IN SEARCH
OF THE ILLUSIVE BAIRDI CRAB.

HOPEFULLY WE GET SOME CRAB
IN THESE [BLEEP]

YEAH!

Bill: WE'RE RIGHT
TO THE FINAL DAYS HERE.

THIS IS WHERE YOU
NEED THE COMEBACK.

I MEAN, YOU NEED
TO GET UP TO THE LINE

AND START THROWING LONG BALLS,
AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE DID.

WE'RE GOING OVER.

WHOO!

YEAH!

NOW,
AM I GONNA CATCH ANY CRAB?

THAT'S --
WE'RE WAITING ON THAT ONE.

I HAVE TO.

OTHERWISE,
WE DON'T GET OUT OF HERE.

Narrator: ON THE FINAL LAP
OF A LONG SEASON...

Zack:
YEAH, WE MOVED TO A NEW AREA.

SO, HOPEFULLY IT PAYS OFF.

I MEAN, IF IT DOESN'T,

WOULDN'T WANT TO BE UP
IN THE CHAIR.

Narrator:
SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS REMAINS

BETWEEN FATHER AND SON.

Bill:
WELL, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT

I WAS GONNA HELP MOVE HIM
ALONG IN HIS CAREER

AND GET HIM UP
TO THE WHEELHOUSE, BUT...

BUT I DON'T THINK
ZACK HAS COME UP

FOR THE ENTIRE [BLEEP] SEASON
TO ASK A QUESTION.

AND I GUESS
THE HARD PART FOR ME

IS IF I TOLD NICK THAT,

"NICK, IF YOU SPENT THE SEASON
UP HERE TALKING TO ME,

YOU'D BE CAPTAIN AT THE END
OF THE SEASON,"

I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET RID
OF THE SON OF A BITCH.

WE HAVE A PART OF A TRIP LEFT.

AND IT'S TIME TO FIGURE OUT
IF HE WANTS TO DO THIS OR NOT,

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
I'M WASTING MY TIME

AND MY CONCENTRATION AND ENERGY.

IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT,
WHAT AM I DOING?

[ BEEP ]

Zack: THERE IT GOES.

THE LAST ONE OF THE SECOND LOAD.

Bill: THESE ARE OVER
AND THE DECK'S SECURED.

ZACK, WHY DON'T YOU
COME UP TO THE WHEELHOUSE.

WE'RE GONNA GO OVER ABOUT
WHERE AND WHY WE SET THIS.

I MEAN, WE GOT TO DO
WHAT WE GOT TO DO.

SOMEBODY'S GOT TO START
RUNNING THE BOAT.

Nick:
BILL AND ZACK SEEM TO BE

HAVING SOME KIND
OF FATHERLY-SON BATTLE.

IT'S TOUGH WORKING
FOR YOUR DAD OUT HERE --

OR ANY KIND OF FAMILY,
FOR THAT MATTER.

I WORKED FOR MY DAD FOR YEARS.

I'M EXCITED THAT HE WANTS
TO TEACH ME SOMETHING, YEAH.

YOU KNOW, IS HE GONNA BE AN
[BLEEP] ABOUT IT? I DON'T KNOW.

COOL.

JUST -- WE JUST MADE THIS MOVE,
AND IT'S CRUNCH TIME,

SO I FIGURED I'M GONNA
SHOW YOU WHAT I DID.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TIMES
THAT I'VE WANTED

TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION,
AND FOR SOME REASON,

YOU HAVEN'T REALLY SPENT
THE TIME UP HERE.

DO YOU -- AM I WASTING MY TIME
AND THOUGHT,

AND DO YOU WANT
TO DO THIS OR NOT?

I DON'T GET IT.

I DO WANT TO DO THIS,
BUT I DON'T --

I DON'T REALLY LIKE
HOW I'M TALKED TO

ALL THE TIME FROM YOU.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT --
YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE
SOME THICKER SKIN

TO BE A CAPTAIN ANYWAY,
SO --

I HAVE A LOT OF THICK SKIN
'CAUSE I DEAL WITH IT

YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.

YOU KNOW, IT --
I'M NOT GONNA KISS YOUR ASS

TO GET YOU TO
INTO THE WHEELHOUSE.

AND I NEVER ASKED YOU
TO KISS MY ASS.

I'VE DONE WELL.
-GOD.

HAVE I NOT?
WHY CAN'T I -- WHAT --

WHY DOES IT HAVE
TO BE A ONE-WAY STREET?

YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS WHEELHOUSE
IS A ONE-WAY STREET, ZACK.

AND IT'S A STREET YOU HAVEN'T
TRAVELED ON, AND IT --

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A STREET
YOU DON'T WANT BAD ENOUGH,

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT [BLEEP]
DOING ANYTHING TO GET HERE.

YOU --
ARE YOU READY TO GO?

-OBVIOUSLY NOT, I MEAN --
-NO, YOU TELL ME.

ARE YOU READY TO GO?
-NO, I'M NOT READY TO GO.

WHY NOT?
WHY ARE YOU NOT READY?

'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW
ENOUGH UP HERE.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE I OBVIOUSLY HAVE
PERSONAL ISSUES WITH YOU.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

WELL, I'M --
I'M GLAD IT'S OUT.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU'RE RIGHT.

I -- IT'S SOMETHING DEEP
IN YOU.

NO, IT'S BOTH OF US.

YOU'RE YOUR MOTHER'S CHILD.

-OKAY.
-YOU ARE YOUR MOTHER'S CHILD.

ALL RIGHT.

I WORKED AS MUCH
AS 10 AND A HALF MONTHS

WHEN I WAS LIVING
AT HOME WITH YOU GUYS

BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE KEY
TO HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS

WAS SEND
ENOUGH MONEY HOME

THAT YOUR MOM HAD
A CLEANING LADY,

YOU GUYS HAD A NANNY,
YOU WENT TO PRIVATE SCHOOL.

AND IT WASN'T THE ANSWER.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY
THE WRONG ANSWER,

'CAUSE I WASN'T THERE.

AND ALL IT DID WAS
TEAR THE FAMILY APART.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M ME,
AND I CAN'T CHANGE IT.

AND I KNOW I WASN'T THERE,
BUT I'M HERE NOW.

A LITTLE LATE.
I'M [BLEEP] 31 NOW.

WELL...

¶¶

I DON'T KNOW, BUDDY.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS JUST
THE WAY I TALK TO YOU

THAT WOULD KEEP YOU
FROM ADVANCING YOUR LIFE.

YOU'RE TELLING ME
YOU CAN'T LEARN FROM ME,

THEN I GUESS YOU CAN'T
LEARN FROM ME.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO DO.

SORRY I LET YOU DOWN
AS A DAD.

SO...

WHATEVER YOUR PLANS ARE,
GOOD LUCK.

I DON'T -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU PLAN

ON PROCEEDING WITH THIS.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

WOW.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY SON
AND I GO FROM HERE.

I REALLY DON'T.

I'M JUST, LIKE, [BLEEP]

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING
TO HAVE SOMEBODY...

PUSH ME LIKE I'VE TRIED
TO PUSH HIM

TO FOLLOW IN MY FOOTSTEPS.

AND THAT'S MY FAULT.

I -- I MEAN, I --

I CAN'T WIN.

SO...

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, I STILL GOT
A SEASON TO FINISH.

¶¶

Narrator: 300 MILES
NORTHWEST OF DUTCH HARBOR...

...ON THE SAGA.

BAIRDI.

I'M HOPING TO GET ONE
PICK OUT OF THE GEAR

THAT'S AT THE CROSS.

ALL MY EGGS ARE IN ONE BASKET.

IT'S A GAMBLE.

IT'S A SERIOUS GAMBLE.

Narrator: FORCED TO COME
IN EARLY, JAKE ANDERSON

HAS MADE A GRUELING 160-MILE,
75-POT MOVE SOUTH.

IF IT'S NOT,
WE'RE IN A WORLD OF HURT.

Narrator: NOW ALL HE HAS TO DO

IS CATCH A WEEK'S
WORTH OF CRAB IN A DAY.

OH, PLEASE!
PLEASE!

Jake: [BLEEP]

WHAT IN THE [BLEEP]

GOD, WHAT A BUMMER.

Sean Dunlop:
NOT MUCH CRAB AT ALL.

IT REALLY SUCKS.

IT'S JUST NOT EVEN WORTH IT.

-2-3!
-[BLEEP]

WHAT A LET DOWN.

LET'S SEE.
OH.

THAT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S GOT CRAB IN IT.

Sean Dunlop: WHY?!

NOPE.

IT WAS JUST DECEIVING.

SAME OLD [BLEEP]

Jake: NINE HOURS LEFT.

WE NEED 80,000 POUNDS.

I'VE GOT ABOUT 13.

IT'S JUST UGLY.

[BLEEP]

YEAH, I'M NOT GETTING
ANYTHING OUT OF THIS DRINK --

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Narrator: STILL NEEDING
880 CRAB PER POT

TO REACH 80,000 POUNDS...

Jake: I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME
TO FILL THE BOAT.

Narrator:
...JAKE'S LUCK FINALLY RUNS OUT.

Jake: THAT DELIVERY DATE
COMPLETELY SCREWED ME.

I AM NOW DEFINITELY
COMING IN SHORT.

[ SIGHS ]

BLOOD PRESSURE RISING.

BLOOD PRESSURE RISING.

STAY CALM.

MY GUYS ARE UNDER PRESSURE, TOO,

SO I KNOW I WANT
TO REMAIN CALM FOR THEM.

NO, WE'RE DOING A GOOD JOB
WITH WHAT WE GOT.

I MEAN,
THE GUYS SHOULD BE PROUD.

HELL, I SHOULD BE PROUD.

HEY, FELLAS...

BUT LET'S GO AHEAD
AND GIVE IT OUR ALL.

WE'RE GOING OUT STRONG.

FIGHT TO THE VERY LAST SECOND
LIKE IT'S THE SUPER BOWL.

Man:
IT'S A GOOD [BLEEP] MOVE!

LET'S GO GET 'EM.
ALL RIGHT, FELLAS!

I'M GOING OUT STRONG.

Man: KEY-AH!

POW!

I HAD HOPED
FOR BIRTHDAY CAKE, STEAK,

FLAMING HOOKS,
AND FIRECRACKERS TONIGHT.

I'LL BE LUCKY IF I CAN GET
A FEW SMILES OUT OF THE BOYS.

-COME ON!
-BRING THAT UP!

-WHOO!
-YEAH!

WE'LL TAKE IT!

IT'S NO WHALE,
BUT IT'S NOT BAD.

Narrator: FOR 16 HOURS,

THE CREW HAULS
AND STACKS 75 POTS.

THERE ARE
A COUPLE KEEPERS.

Man: WHOO!

LOVE IT!

ON THE ROLL, HERE WE GO.

Man: LOOK OUT.

¶¶

ALL RIGHT,
LAST ONE, FELLAS.

LAST POT.

Man: YEAH, BUDDY!

AND IT'S OVER.

THAT'S THE END.

ALL RIGHT,
THAT'S THE LAST ONE, FELLAS.

YOU GUYS CAN COME IN.

THE GUYS -- I'M JUST
REALLY PROUD OF THEM.

THEY REALLY PULLED
THROUGH, AND...

HEY, THIS IS --
THAT'S THE LAST POT.

THE BAD NEWS BEAR!

Narrator: JAKE BRINGS
IN 470,000 POUNDS OF OPILIO,

30,000 POUNDS SHORT
OF HIS QUOTA.

BUT EACH MEMBER OF HIS CREW

WILL STILL POCKET
25,000 BUCKS.

WE SHOULD, ALL OF US, GO HOME.

AND WE CAN, ALL OF US, GO HOME
WITH OUR HEADS HUNG HIGH.

BECAUSE OF WHAT MYSELF

AND THE CREW HAVE DONE
TO GET AS FAR AS WE HAVE.

DEVASTATING?
YES.

HUMBLED?
YES.

DOWN? NEVER.

[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]

Narrator:
205 MILES SOUTHEAST...

WE ARE JUST COMING UP ON...

BAIRDI GROUNDS.

Narrator:
...ON THE BRENNA A.

Sean Dwyer:
IT'S 2:00 IN THE MORNING.

WAKE UP, COME OUT HERE.

THINK I'M ALL BY MYSELF.

NOPE, NOT THE CASE.

LOTS OF BOATS OUT HERE NOW.

Narrator:
AFTER MOVING 50 MILES AWAY

FROM THE PACK
TO FIND FRESH GROUNDS...

THERE'S BLIPS ON THE RADAR,
POTS NEXT TO MINE.

Narrator:
...CAPTAIN SEAN DWYER WAKES

TO FIND THE PACK
HAS FOLLOWED HIM.

THEY'RE JUST POURING IN.

THERE'S ONE AFTER ANOTHER,
AND I KNOW THAT AS SOON

AS THEY GET IN HERE,
THEY CALL ALL THEIR BUDDIES.

THERE'S GONNA BE EVEN
MORE BOATS IN HERE.

SO...WE GOT TO GET 'EM QUICKLY.

Narrator: JUST A FEW HOURS
AHEAD OF HIS COMPETITION...

TIME TO WAKE EVERYBODY UP,
GET GOING.

Narrator: ...SEAN PRESSES
HIS CREW INTO ACTION.

TIME TO GET UP, GET ROLLING.

THERE'S GUYS
WORKING ALL AROUND US.

WE JUST CAN'T SLOW DOWN.

DON'T WASTE ANY TIME OUT THERE.

LET'S DO IT.

[ AIR HORN BLOWS ]

I'LL WAKE UP HERE IN A MINUTE.

WELCOME TO WALLY WORLD.

THOSE BOYS ARE TIRED.
I KNOW THEY ARE.

BUT I'VE PRETTY MUCH GAMBLED
MY PARENTS' BUSINESS

TO GET THIS BOAT OUT HERE.

THERE'S A LOT ON THE LINE.

AS THE NUMBERS STAND RIGHT NOW,

WE'VE ONLY GOT
15,000 POUNDS LEFT

TO CATCH,
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

NICE, FRESH START.
BUT WITH ANY FRESH START,

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

HOPEFULLY, THAT 15 OR 20-K
IS IN THE GEAR.

IF IT'S NOT...

Tony: IT LOOKS GOOD!

IT'S AWESOME!
YEAH.

[ CHEERING ]

OH, THAT'S A GOOD LOOKING POT.

OH, [BLEEP]
IT LOOKED REALLY GOOD.

[ CHEERING ]

Man: YEAH!

CRAB IN TRAP.

DIG!

A LOT OF CRAB
GOING IN THAT TANK.

ALL I CAN HEAR IS TING, TING.

CRAB GOING IN THE HOPPER.

THAT'S A GOOD SOUND.

-2-4-2.
- 2-4-2.

DAMN, BITCH!

THAT'S [BLEEP] AWESOME.

-YEAH!
-WHOO!

Sean Dwyer:
MONEY COMING OVER THE RAIL.

ANOTHER ONE.
-YEAH, BABY!

I'M [BLEEP] NAILING IT.

Man: YEAH, BOY!

237?

WITH NUMBERS LIKE THIS, MAN,
WE'RE NOT STOPPING.

WE GOT TO GRIND
ON THESE THINGS.

YOU GUYS KNOW MY POLICY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

PUT THEM ON THE BOAT
AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

Narrator: THE SKIPPER SETS

DIRECTLY BACK
ON THE SCHOOL BELOW...

WE GOT TO GET THESE THINGS.

GET THEM BEFORE
THE NEXT GUY DOES.

Narrator: ...TO SCOOP UP
HIS REMAINING QUOTA

BEFORE THE FLEET
BEATS HIM TO IT.

WHOO! YEAH!

WE GOT TO FILL THESE TANKS.

THEY ARE NOT GONNA
FAIL ME NOW.

Man: YEAH!

OH, YEAH,
WE LIKE TO HEAR THAT.

SOUNDS LIKE A TRAIN.

[ CHEERING ]

[ BEEP ]

Sean Dwyer:
WE'RE DOING WELL.

-NICE.
-[ CHEERING ]

Sean Dwyer: OUR PRODUCTION LEVEL
HAS JUST GONE WAY UP.

THE OTHER DAY, WE HAULED
SIX POTS AN HOUR.

NOW I'M GETTING THEM
AT 12 POTS AN HOUR.

[ BEEP ]

THAT'S PROGRESSION
RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING,
WE'RE GRINDING AWAY.

NOT BAD FOR A FOUR-MAN CREW.

[ LAUGHS ]

WHOO!

START STRONG, FINISH STRONG.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.

IT'S NOT OVER YET,
BUT WE'RE GETTING CLOSER.

Narrator:
710 MILES NORTHEAST...

IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA...

Sig: I GOT LUCKY.

I GOT DAMN LUCKY.

Narrator: ...STILL AT RISK
FOR ANOTHER HEART ATTACK,

CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN CONTINUES
TO UNDERGO TESTING.

I CAN'T PLAY DOCTOR ANY MORE

THAN THEY CAN
PLAY FISHERMAN, SO...

I JUST GOT TO TRUST
WHAT THEY SAY, YOU KNOW?

YEAH, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE DAYS
SINCE WE GOT THE NEWS.

WAITING FOR HIM TO --

TO BE ABLE TO GET LET OUT
SO WE CAN GET EVERYONE HOME.

IT WAS PRETTY DEVASTATING
HEARING IT -- GETTING THE CALL.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GONNA
GET THAT KIND OF CALL.

June: IT WAS A SHOCKER.
I DIDN'T --

WELL, YOU THINK ABOUT STUFF
LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN, BUT...

YOU DON'T THINK
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU

OR SOMEBODY CLOSE TO YOU.

SO IT WAS AWFUL.

Mandy:
YOU NEVER KNOW THE LAST TIME

YOU'RE GONNA SEE
YOUR PARENTS, EITHER.

SO BEING ABLE
TO GET THAT LAST TRIP

AND BEING ABLE TO SEE
WHAT MY DAD DOES

AND HAVING HIM TEACH ME
THE ROPES OUT THERE MEANS A LOT.

I'M JUST MORE THAN THANKFUL
THAT HE'S STILL HERE.

HE'S STILL ALIVE.

WHAT HE WENT THROUGH, ONE-THIRD
OF THOSE PEOPLE PASS AWAY, SO...

DAYS AREN'T GONNA BE
THE SAME EVER AGAIN FOR HIM.

HELLO, GIRLS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ GROANS ]

DOCTOR SAID I WAS LUCKY
'CAUSE MOST PEOPLE

DON'T EVEN GET A CHANCE
TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BIG --
BIG ONE.

IT WAS A BIG ONE.

AND IT'S LIKE I KNOW
I HAVE EVERYTHING TO LIVE FOR.

I MEAN, WE'VE GOT ANYTHING
A GUY COULD WANT.

SURE MAKES YOU THINK
HOW PRECIOUS LIFE IS, THOUGH --

HOW FAST IT IS.

I MEAN, IT'S LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, PRETTY LUCKY GUY.

OH.

¶¶

¶¶

Narrator: 225 MILES
NORTH OF DUTCH HARBOR...

Bill: WE'RE GONNA GO
ABOUT ANOTHER HALF MILE.

Narrator:
...ON THE CAPE CAUTION.

THIS WHOLE THING'S
VERY PERPLEXING.

IT HAS BEEN
A REALLY STRANGE DAY.

I'M SOUL-SEARCHING TODAY
ABOUT THIS WHOLE ZACK THING.

I...

WANT HIM TO BE
CAPTAIN'S SON, BUT...

Narrator:
CAPTAIN "WILD" BILL WICHROWSKI

AND HIS SON, ZACK,
HAVE HAD A FALLING OUT.

Bill:
I'M LOST, CONFUSED.

I FEEL A LITTLE BETRAYED.

IT'S LIFE-CHANGING FOR ME,
WHAT ZACK TOLD ME.

THERE'S A LOT OF RESENTMENT
ON WHO I AM,

BEING A COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN
AND A DAD IN ZACK'S MIND.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
WHAT HE RESENTS IN ME,

I'M WORKING ON TURNING HIM
INTO THE SAME GUY.

MAYBE ZACK THINKS THAT BY HIM
TAKING OVER THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIR,

HE'S GONNA END UP LIKE ME.

AND, OBVIOUSLY, HE DOESN'T
LIKE THE OUTCOME OF ME.

YOU KNOW, TODAY WAS
A SUPER TOUGH DAY.

I ALREADY KNOW I'M NOT GONNA BE
A CAPTAIN LIKE MY DAD.

HE WANTS ME TO BE
LITTLE MINI BILL,

AND I'M NOT GONNA BE
LITTLE MINI BILL.

I'M GONNA BE ME.

I'M GONNA TAKE PIECES OF MY DAD,

BUT I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE THE WHOLE THING.

THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY OF ZACK
FOLLOWING IN MY FOOTSTEPS,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO ASK ZACK
WHICH WAY HE'S GONNA WALK.

HE'S EITHER GONNA WALK UP
THE STAIRS OR WALK OFF THE BOAT.

HE'S GOT TO MAKE THE CHOICE.

AND...

IF HE DOESN'T,
I -- I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

WHO KNOWS,
MAYBE A BIG FINISH WILL...

SNAP HIM OUT OF IT.

Narrator: UNABLE TO SOLVE
THE PROBLEM WITH HIS SON...

[BLEEP] I BEEN SITTING
ON THIS BUOY FOR...

Narrator:
...BILL REFOCUSES ON THE THING

HE KNOWS BEST -- CATCHING CRAB.

I'D LOVE TO SEE
A STRONG ONE HERE.

I HOPE SO -- I NEED IT.

BILL DECIDED TO MAKE A MOVE.

THIS IS EITHER GONNA SAVE
OUR SEASON

OR EXTENDED IT BY A LONG TIME.

Bill: YEAH.
TOOK A BIG RISK DOING THIS.

AND THERE'S AN OUTSIDE CHANCE
IT AIN'T GONNA PAY OFF.

¶¶

KIND OF FEELING NERVOUS HERE.

IT'S LIKE THIS COULD
CHANGE MY DAY.

¶¶

OH, YEAH.
OH, YEAH.

[ CHUCKLES ]

NICE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

CHA-CHA-CHA-CHING!

THERE IT IS!

YES!
-YEAH!

[ CHEERING ]

Bill:
OH, YEAH! OH, YEAH!

WE ARE ON 'EM!

THAT'S A HELL OF A POT.

NICE LOOKING SCHOOL
OF CRAB HERE, I'LL TELL YOU.

SCHOOL IS IN SESSION.

SOME OF THESE GUYS
LOOK LIKE THEY GOT HELD BACK

A COUPLE YEARS.

Zack: 244.

2-4-4.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD ONE.

244 KEEPER BAIRDI.

[ HOWLS ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ CHEERING ]

YEAH!

WHOO!

WOW.

OH, YEAH!

OH, YEAH!

THIS MAKES ALL
THE DIFFERENCE HERE.

152.
1-5-2.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD STUFF.

YEAH!

OPTIMISTIC
THIS IS THE KIND OF FISHING

THAT'S GONNA JUST TAKE US
RIGHT TO THE END

AND WE CAN FINISH UP.

Man: WHOO!

WHOO!
YEAH!

-YEAH!
-YEAH, BUDDY. YEAH, YEAH.

ONLY THE LUCKY
GET TO DO THIS.

YEAH!

LOOK AT THIS RIGHT HERE.

Bill:
THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST MORALE
BOOSTER YOU CAN EVER HAVE.

OBVIOUSLY,
OUTSIDE OF FISHING,

ZACK AND I HAVE
SOME STUFF TO FIGURE OUT.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
FORGET IT.

I'M GONNA SMILE.
I'M WORN OUT.

THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED
TO FINISH THIS.

AS WORN OUT AS I AM...

I'D BE DANCING IF I HAD
ANYTHING LEFT IN ME.

WE ARE GONNA GET THE NUMBER
AND SIGN THE TICKET, BABY.

Narrator:
225 MILES NORTHWEST...

...ON THE CORNELIA MARIE...

LET'S DO THIS [BLEEP]
LET'S PRAY.

NOT ONE [BLEEP] BOAT OUT HERE.

NOT EVEN [BLEEP]
RIBBON OF A BOAT

PASSING BY OR ANYTHING.

WE'RE GONNA SEE IF I MADE
THE RIGHT DECISION OR NOT.

WE DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT'S IN HERE YET,

BUT WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

Narrator: ...CAPTAIN JOSH HARRIS
IS UP AGAINST THE CLOCK.

TRYING TO MAKE THIS
DELIVERY DATE.

I WANT MY PERFECT SEASON.

OH, I'M JUST THINKING HOW
CLOSE THIS IS GONNA BE.

Narrator: WITH HIS OFFLOAD
ONLY HOURS AWAY,

THE YOUNG SKIPPER
HAS ONE LAST SHOT

TO CEMENT HIS REPUTATION
IN THE FLEET.

I'M EXCITED, THOUGH.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
LET'S SEE SOME MAGIC.

¶¶

OH.
LOOK AT THIS POT.

DOES IT GOT SOMETHING IN IT?

IT'S COMING UP AWFULLY SLOW.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

[ CHEERING ]

THAT'S SOME NUMBERS.

WHOO!

Man: YEAH!

LOOKS CLEAN. BIG CRAB.

LOOK AT THAT --
JUST SHOVELING THEM IN.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

WOW!

IT'S A WALL MOUNT THERE.

Man: YEAH, BOY!

IF IT'S 250, I WOULD JUST
ABOUT DO A CARTWHEEL.

HOW EXCITED I'D BE RIGHT NOW.

240.

YEAH.

THERE WE GO.

Kyle: OH, YEAH, BABY.
OH, YEAH!

CRAB IS BEAUTIFUL!

I'VE NEVER SEEN
SUCH BEAUTIFUL CRABS.

AND THOSE ARE ALL KEEPERS.

LIKE, LOOK AT THAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GETTING RIGHT NOW.

-OH, YEAH, BABY.
-BIG, CLEAN WHITE CRAB.

Man: ALL OF THEM.

HE'S GOT A SMILE.

THREE?

[BLEEP] YES.

ALL RIGHT.

MAN, 305.

TAKE THAT.

BACK IN THE MONEY.

THE BUZZER JUST WENT OFF.

JOSH JUST RELEASED THE SHOT.

IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S [BLEEP] GOOD.

THAT RIGHT THERE IS
WHAT IT TAKES, MY FRIENDS,

TO END THE SEASON.

Man #1: WHOO!

Man #2: WHOO!

GORGEOUS CRAB!

YEAH!

OH, [BLEEP]

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO [BLEEP]
MAKE THIS DELIVERY DATE.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING
EVERY SECOND.

WE'RE ON THE WIRE.

IT'S AS MUCH ON THE WIRE
AS YOU CAN GET.

ONCE WE GET TO TOWN AND WE GET
ALL THE CRAB OFF THE BOAT,

THEN IT WILL SET IN,
AND THEN I CAN CELEBRATE.

RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TO STACK ON

AND BE READY TO GO
AND HAUL ASS FOR TOWN.

WHAT HAPPENS
IF WE'RE SHORT?

WE SHOULD HAVE OUR QUOTA.

Narrator: CONFIDENT
THE REMAINING 44,000 POUNDS

ARE IN THE GEAR...

ALL RIGHT, GENTS...

YEAH!

Narrator:
...JOSH STACKS HIS POTS

ON DECK AND HEADS IN TO HONOR
HIS OFFLOAD DATE.

YOU GOT FOUR STRINGS
LEFT AFTER THAT?

Josh: YEAH.

18 -- LET'S SEE,
YOU CARRY THE TWO.

THIS IS GONNA BE CLOSE.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU THINK
YOU GET THE NUMBER

AND WE GO TO DELIVER,
AND YOU'RE SHORT?

WELL, THEN IT IS
WHAT IT IS.

Man: WHOO-HOO!

I THINK WE'RE --
I THINK WE'RE ON THE NETS.

I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE'RE --
WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH CRAB.

IT WILL BE A PHOTO FINISH,
AS FAR AS GETTING EVERY POUND

THAT WE NEED FOR THE POTS
WE HAVE LEFT IN THE WATER.

DID WE START STACKING
A LITTLE EARLY?

WE'RE GONNA FIND
OUT HERE SHORTLY.

ALL YOU CAN DO
AT THIS POINT IS PRAY.

WE GOT FAITH.

WE'LL SEE.

WE SHALL SEE.

I MEAN, IT IS JUST FANTASTIC.

Man: WHOO!

Narrator: ...TOPPING OFF
A SUCCESSFUL CRAB SEASON

AT THE HELM OF HIS FAMILY BOAT.

Sean Dwyer: IT'S COOL.
IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR ME.

THIS IS, "I'M GONNA

THIS IS, YOU KNOW,
"I CAN DO IT."

I DID IT.

PRETTY EPIC BAIRDI SEASON
FOR THE BRENNA A.

SEAN HAS DONE
A HELL OF A JOB.

Narrator:
OVER A TWO-MONTH GRIND,

THE YOUNG SKIPPER TOOK
IN 310,000 POUNDS OF BAIRDI.

FOR STICKING IT OUT,

THE CREW WILL WALK AWAY
WITH OVER 28,000 BUCKS.

I'LL BE GOING STRAIGHT.

MY PARENTS STARTED THIS
BUSINESS 30 YEARS AGO,

BUT WHEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY,
IT ALL FELL INTO MY LAP.

HE PROBABLY NEVER WOULD
HAVE EXPECTED HIS SON,

AT 23 YEARS OLD, TO COME OUT
AND CATCH HALF A MILLION POUNDS

OF WESTERN BAIRDI
HIS FIRST SEASON, YOU KNOW?

¶¶

THAT'S SOMETHING
TO BE PROUD TO THERE.

THE TERRORS OF THE DEEP...

WELL, CLOWNS ARE SCARY, MAN.

THEY GOT THEM BIG FEET.

THING -- HONK, HONK!

THEY ALL LOOK SAD, TOO.

NOT -- NOT HAPPY.
THEY'RE NOT VERY HAPPY.

THEY'RE ALL...

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU DON'T TRUST THEM.

YOU DON'T TURN
YOUR BACK ON A CLOWN.

I'LL TURN MY BACK ON A WITCH,

BUT NOT A CLOWN.

Narrator: IN DUTCH HARBOR...

Sean Dwyer:

IT'S A GOOD FEELING

HOW ARE YOU?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I'M REALLY RELIEVED.

Sean Dwyer:
GOOD CLOSURE FOR MY MOM.

IT'S A FAMILY BUSINESS.

WITHOUT ME, I THINK MY MOM

PROBABLY WOULD HAVE
HAD TO SELL IT.

AND THAT WOULD HAVE
TORN HER APART.

-HELLO.
-BUDDY.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

WELCOME.
WELCOME, WELCOME.

-WELCOME HOME.
-HELLO.

LONG TIME NO SEE.

-YEAH.
-OH!

NO, THANK YOU.

Sean Dwyer: WE MADE IT.

BOAT FULL OF CRAB,
HAPPY CREW.

YEAR ONE -- CHECK.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.

THANK YOU.

NO, THANK YOU.

COULDN'T HAVE DONE
IT WITHOUT YOU.

COULDN'T HAVE DONE
IT WITHOUT YOU.

[ SIGHS ]

IT REALLY IS HARD
TO PUT IT INTO WORDS, UM...

WHAT THIS SEASON
REALLY MEANS FOR ME,

FOR SEAN, FOR BRENNA,

FOR OUR FAMILY.

HE'S ONLY 23.

MY HEART IS FULL OF PRIDE
AND LOVE FOR HIM.

Sean Dwyer: WE DID IT,
BUT THAT WAS JUST THE START.

NOW WHAT'S NEXT?

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Narrator: ACROSS THE DOCK...

IS IN HIS TANKS...

Josh: IF WE DO MAKE IT,
WE'RE RIGHT ON THE NOSE AGAIN.

UP AND OUT!

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

SCARY.

BIG ONES.

Narrator: RESPONSIBLE

Narrator: AT 491,000 POUNDS,

THE YOUNG CAPTAIN

TO HIT HIS MARK.

¶¶

-YEAH, WE'RE [BLEEP]
-OH.

Narrator: THE FINAL TALLY LEAVES
ABOUT $20,000 UN-CAUGHT.

Casey: OH, HEY, MAN,
YOU KNOW WHAT?

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR
THAT YOU FINALLY

KIND OF STARTED
APPLYING YOURSELF.

SO WHAT.
YOU DIDN'T HIT YOUR NUMBER.

YOU WERE DAMN CLOSE.

YOU PROBABLY
LEARNED SOMETHING.

WE HAD A SEASON
WHERE NOBODY GOT HURT.

-GOOD JOB, JOSH.
-YEAH.

JUST OPEN THAT THING UP.
SCREW IT.

OH, [BLEEP] CASEY.

Narrator: OUT OF THE HOSPITAL,
CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN WAITS

FOR THE NORTHWESTERN'S

LAST TIME I SAW THESE GUYS,

I WAS LAYING ON A STRETCHER
IN DUTCH HARBOR.

I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN IT HAPPENED.

I DIDN'T REALIZE EVEN
AFTER IT HAPPENED

THAT I HAD A HEART ATTACK.

AND EVERY DAY, IT'S SINKING
IN MORE AND MORE.

I FEEL LUCKY.

I FEEL LIKE I GOT
A SECOND CHANCE,

LIKE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.

AND FOR THAT REASON, I FEEL...

PRETTY DOGGONE INVIGORATED.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY,
DON'T PISS ME OFF,

BECAUSE I EXPLODE.

THAT MEANS YOU HAVE
