Deadliest Catch (2005–…): Season 18, Episode 11 - Deadliest Catch - full transcript
You got to be kidding me!
Hey, how's it going, lenny?
*bleep* yeah.
That's the best news
I've heard in months.
High prices are coming.
Some economists believe
this supply chain bottleneck
Could keep prices high.
People want to
buy your product.
Yep, it's a supply problem.
We still have containers
that we don't know
where they're at.
we have
a short window here.
Catch our crab while the price
is nice and high.
I can't afford to have
anything go wrong out there
*bleep*
A little deeper
than I wanted to set.
We got a lot of crab to catch.
Right now, right there.
*bleep*
we got to get creativ
to maximize the product.
And if that means putting crab
on an airplane and flying it
to the asian markets
Where they'll be sold live,
Then that's what we gotta do.
30 miles northeas
of dutch harbor...
On the saga...
Yeah!
Oh my god.
Yeah!
that's black cod.
It's about 600 pounds.
yeah, brother.
It seems like he knows
where to find these fish.
Looking good.
Whoo! Whoo! Yeah!
Last pod on this string.
Then we'll head
to the next one.
Getting close.
We're almost there.
But we're not in the clear.
This is our final day,
final hour.
I have to catch this fish
or I forfeit the boat.
Let's see what we're made of
That's a good one. Whoo!
Heads up, mac!
Yeah, baby!
Sweet!
with the saga's
pink slip on the line,
Captain jake anderson target
the last hundred
thousand pounds
Of black cod quota.
And if the prices hold,
stands to gross a mammoth
$2.7 million payday.
Two miles.
Whoo! Alright!
The fishing's hot,
so all I have to do right now
is keep the block turning
With no mishaps.
Yeah, in about two miles,
you'll be running across
four strings.
Or don't.
...Turkey on 17?
Right here is the freeway
for american shipping.
With all these container ships
backing up,
It's not gonna take them much
to just ravage
through all my gear.
We're just small little bees
to them.
This is the problem
with fishing near the islands.
I can't stop.
I have to get this product
to the dock quickly.
That freighter's headed
right for our *bleep* pot.
Copy?
Damn it.
*bleep* turkish *bleep*
damn freighter.
Totally ghosted me.
Ran over my *bleep*
Can you guys see them?
I can't see my buoys anywhere.
This is un *bleep* believable.
This could take hours.
*bleep* you serious right now?
You know how many pots
I've ran over?
Never one!
The buoys are fire-engine red.
How the *bleep*
did you do that?
This is the problem
with long line.
You don't lose just one pot
you lose an entire string.
If I don't get this product
to the dock and delivered,
I'm gonna lose everything.
I have to.
I have no other choice.
190 miles northwest...
On the time bandit...
Okay, guys.
It's gonna be a beautiful day
on the bering sea, man.
I just want freddy
to be happy.
I got you, brother.
Alright, here we are
back in action.
We just finished up
our off load
and uh, did pretty good.
I'm heading north right now
going into the canyon
To the northwest section
of the canyon.
180 fathoms.
We have a short window here
while the demand's high
to get our crab to market.
I got really high hopes
for this string.
to seize
the spike in price,
Captain johnathan hillstran
approaches the first
of a 40 pot string,
Eager to fill his tanks
with the now lucrative
golden kings.
- hells yeah.
- let's do this.
Here we go. Drumroll, please.
Let's go, jared!
See what we get.
Boo. That's not
what I wanted to see here.
three crab that pot.
Disappointed. I was hoping
for a little bit more,
But we're just
getting started.
Come on, pot. Here we go.
come on, pot.
this is brutal.
Brutal.
One crab.
Not enough to make
a living though yet.
Damn it!
Oh, my god.
Slim pickings out here.
ay-yi-yi.
We can just stack it.
Stack and move
these son of bitches.
I don't know what to do.
I'm off the scent.
I need to come up
with something.
on the aleutian chain...
Coming up.
aboard the patricia lee...
Here we go. We're in the block
coming up.
We just got a little taste
right about here,
So we're working on
trying to get dialed in.
These crab,
they do move around
And I'm pretty optimistic
that they are around here.
captain rip carlton hones I
On his 1.5 million pound
golden king crab quota,
Potentially banking him
a fleet-leading $21 million
We got to get this haul fast.
Especially when
it's your money on the line.
as long as
the market stays hot.
This is a uh,
hard string to haul.
Got a couple of big, big rocks
That if you get the line
on the wrong side,
You'll get it tangled
and sheer it off.
I hope we can do it.
Alright, let's see
some crab here.
Oh, yeah, baby!
That's the real deal
right there.
this is a good sign.
Here's the kind of stuff
that gets me going.
If we see some crab
and we can hammer it,
Like that.
yeah. Okay.
I better set
the whole string back.
I mean, we need
to get them fast,
I'll tell you that.
That crab's on the move.
It's going somewhere.
Patricia lee.
I sure wish I could tell you
something good, but...
four.
I'm off the scent, so...
Yeah, well. Don't feel bad.
I didn't have luck
for like, ten years.
It takes a while
to figure them out.
They're a lot different
than uh, red crab,
that's for sure.
Where you fishing?
Between 175 fathoms and...
Okay, I got ya. I got ya.
Looks pretty good.
That's where you seeing them?
...We hauled,
we had a 37 average.
-Wow.
-It's deep and deep.
That's what they like.
If I was up there, I'd go
as deep as I possibly could,
250 plus.
*bleep* damn it.
oh *bleep*
That's not good.
I hope everything's
gonna be okay.
Damn it.
on the patricia lee...
It's so tight. I hope
we don't have a snarl.
There it is.
It's not tangled.
That's a bonus.
Let's just back
the whole thing up.
oh!
Oh *bleep*
What was that?
Oh my god. Seriously?
Anytime you see fluid
shoot from there,
that's not good.
*bleep*
lord.
I think we pressurized
the gear box and blew
the front plate off of it.
If that's blown,
I don't even know
what we're gonna do.
We don't do anything
without that block.
Block's not turning.
Okay, let's cut that and get
the buoys out of here
with this line.
I got to go down
and check this out.
outfitted for long lining,
The patricia lee's
specialized block hauls
four times more weight
Using double
the hydraulic pressure
Of a standard
single pod hauling.
We must have just completely
blow the whole seal
out of that motor.
We do have a different motor.
It's worth a try.
Swap the blown motor
with a spare.
betting
the replacement can keep
His multi-million dollar
operation running.
if we don't
get this fixed,
our trip is over.
We're gonna see
if we can fix it.
We have to. We have no option.
378 miles northeast...
On the dungeness
crab grounds...
400 pots. I'm gonna set
these things out.
If we can get this crab
to dock in time
On a plane over to
the live market in asia,
We can get some huge prices
for this stuff.
elinore j
captain sean dwyer
has a flight to catch.
but that buyer's got
a time window
that we can't miss.
So I got one more shot here
to try and pull
something together.
And if it doesn't
come through,
Then cut your losses
and go home.
You ready?
going over!
everything's gotta g
just right for us
to hit this window.
So we're gonna see
what happens.
let her go, boys.
Let her go.
on the pribilof
golden crab grounds...
talked to
my friend rip carlton.
I gave him a shout to just see
how he's doing out there
on the aleutian chain.
Gotta be a good guy
for me to talk to, you know.
We're a little bit shallower
than he's fishing out there.
So we're gonna try it
out over here.
armed with fresh intel,
Captain johnathan hillstran
precision bombs
the 250 fathom range
In search of the golden king
Hopefully this'll be
a good set.
Might get lucky here.
You never know.
Okay, guys.
Let's get ready to set.
*bleep*
No, man. I didn't say, "set."
I said, "get ready to set."
*bleep*
A little deeper than
I wanted to set...
...I say okay.
Captain says, "set."
you set, baby.
next pot.
Keep setting.
We got high, high hopes
we're gonna find
some crab here.
We'll see what happens.
182 miles southeast...
On the saga...
I don't know. Maybe we should
put that chain on there.
dragging time.
We got the big hook out
and that's not very fun.
All because of some *bleep*
fool didn't want
to pay attention
At the *bleep* wheel.
But if I'm gonna save
this boat and my future,
Then I have to do it
and I have to do it now.
after a freighte
severed his long line,
Captain jake forges
a 150 pound grapple
To retrieve his stranded
black cod pots
From an abyssal 1,600 feet
below the surface.
so first...
We'll try to get it
at the top end.
And hope it hooks up.
string is a mile long.
I'm doing about
two miles an hour.
I should get to the end of it
in 30 minutes.
And if we don't
get it that time,
we'll do it all over again.
I would never do this
in this kind of weather
unless I absolutely had to.
And right now, I have to.
I'm out of soak,
I'm out of pots.
I'm out of money
and now I'm out of time.
You guys ready?
...If it starts
getting sketchy,
cut the *bleep* lines.
You don't need
an order for that.
You feel unsafe and you got
to *bleep* cut, cut.
Here we go.
Alright, guys.
Let's let her rip.
oh, man. Please work.
I can't lose this gear.
on the saga.
Alright, guys. Let her rip.
please work.
I can't lose this gear.
Here's hoping, you know.
now I should
be drifting down
the buoy line itself.
I have to be very careful
how I stay on top
of this and drag.
I don't just want
to take it out of gear,
Let the wind
and waves take me,
and then, hope it hooks up.
I have to be on top of it
in order to even snag it.
I'm really hoping
this pans out.
I'm watching my drift
right now and...
What I'm waiting for it to do
is stop or slow down.
And I know I've anchored
myself to my long line string.
connected
to the grapple below,
Jake watches his drift
speed and direction,
Looking for any change
to indicate a firm connectio
with his sunken pots.
I am starting to slow down.
Check it. It might
have something.
Pull up?
You're good. Just bring it in.
I think I got something.
she shouldn't be pulling
that far away.
If we didn't have nothing,
she'd be pulling
straight up and down.
I think I got something.
*bleep*
Pull it up, dude! Pull it up!
-We got it!
-We *bleep* got it, bro!
we got it! Hell yeah
*bleep*
We found the string.
We got it!
First try! First try
we got it dragging for it!
yeah!
That's the saga way
right there!
whoo.
Come on, mac.
Get that *bleep* pot up.
Let's see what we got here.
Holy *bleep*
Oh my god, dude.
Loaded, dude. Loaded.
And they're big too.
250.2-5-0.
That's 250!
Woah, dude.
Yeah!
The pots on the missing string
are awesome.
Oh, my god.
We might actually do this.
Absolutely
positively beautiful.
I can't believe
we got that string back.
I'm getting numbers and I have
a chance to make this offload.
But I have to finish strong
Let's see what the rest
of the gear holds.
175 miles northwest...
I throw the second half
of the day.
Yeah, 'cause you threw
all yesterday.
...You threw the day before.
Hey, my mind don't go
that far back.
on the time bandit...
going over
to our deep canyon set.
Just pulling up on it.
Gonna see what they have
on a short soak.
I talked to rip carlton
and he told me that he fishes
between 200 and 350.
I respect him.
I hope the canyon
does us good.
Prices have tripled
on golden crab.
So I get like a ten average,
I can really make
some money up there.
Just got to get through
some gear.
captain johnatha
pulls up to a string
set at 1,500 feet
Based on advice
from fellow captain
rip carlton.
Okay, guys.
Come on, crab.
Come on, crab, crab,
crab, crab!
I'm just gonna shut up
so I don't jinx us.
Here it comes.
Whoo-hoo. *bleep* yeah.
That's looking pretty
*bleep* good right there.
Eight crabs.
Whoo-hoo!
If things can just hold up.
- careful over there.
Watch the lines.
-here she comes.
keep it there, jared.
I'll get it. I'll get it.
Whoo-hoo. Whoo-hoo-hoo!
whoo!
That's what I'm talking about.
That looks like a good pot.
Thank you, lord.
We just pulled up
on that first spot
that I set a little deep,
Sort of short lined.
I can see it just...
It's just showing here.
There it comes.
Deepest we've gone.
oh, yeah. Oh yeah!
Oh my god.
That's got like,
20 in it maybe.
That's the best pot
of the year.
yeah, baby!
Whoo, we're onto
something here.
Pretty happy I came over here.
This is gonna save our ass.
I'm really glad
I reached out to rip.
He's a good guy
for me to talk to.
I might even call
him up right now.
250
miles southwest.
on the patricia lee.
Well, it looks like they
got the motor on,
The hoses are goin' on,
we're makin' progress.
Kyle's down there
weldin' it right now.
hopefully, that
will fix our problem.
But if we can't haul
this, our trip is over.
we go to town.
while
hauling nearly 50,000
pounds of gear,
The hydraulic motor
on the block ruptured.
Halting fishing,
and threatening
to send captain rip
On a $10,000 trip
back to dutch.
if his makeshift
fix doesn't hold.
I don't care if I have
to use pancake batter,
And put it on there,
and heat it with a heat gun.
Anything to seal that.
Come on, you guys.
There it goes.
I hope he'll answer.
oh, *bleep*
Not again.
We don't have
anytime to waste.
on the patricia lee.
oh, *bleep*
Not again.
Patricia lee.
just checking in
how you been, man?
Plenty a time
to *bleep* around it.
Oh, *bleep*.
We found a few crab,
so thank you.
Yeah.
Guess sometimes
it's better to be lucky
than good.
I'm gonna have
a season outta that.
I owe you some dinner.
All right, I'm out.
Sounds like he found
some crab, so good for him.
All I know is I've gotta see
if we can fix this thing.
All right, let's see
what happens here.
Here we go.
God, I hope this works.
Here we go!
if there's something
bigger wrong with our system
We'll see oil pour
out of it again.
oh, boy.
and that'll be that.
Need somethin' a lot
stronger than this.
So far, so good.
there we go.
Up, up, up, up, up, up,
up, up, up, up, up, up!
- oh! Whoo!
- whoo!
oh, yeah.
I think the party
is gonna keep on goin'.
How long it's
gonna work?
I don't know.
But it worked.
but this
one's pretty impressive.
All right, boys.
That's not good.
Mediocre at best.
We'll see if
it gets any better.
oh, my gosh.
These numbers are just not
where they need to be.
Ugh!
Well, that ain't good.
For eight crab.
That ain't gonna cut it.
We're goin' the wrong way.
These crab do move around.
They got legs,
so they can walk.
Those guys are like,
"let's get outta here."
his returns
diminishing after a 10-hour
repair to his block,
Captain rip deduces the herd
Capable of moving
at over 150 feet per hour,
is back on the March.
I really gotta
figure somethin' out.
We need to catch some crab,
and we gotta catch it now.
putting the veter
skipper back on the hunt.
I'll take intel
from anywhere,
anyone.
Especially johnathan up there,
that's good information.
It sounds like he found
some crab, even if
it was an accident.
We go deeper.
we need a good trip,
we need to get back on track
We gotta get this
girl full of crab.
Let's just hope we can do it
366
miles northeast.
on the elinore j.
this is gonna be
our last string of the seaso
We're really gamblin'
on the shallows.
400 pots, only one spot.
God, I hope it pays off.
We gotta rip through
this thing, get these
crab on quick.
Back to the dock,
over season, landed.
We got no time to spare.
with his deliver
to the asian market
just 24 hours away,
Captain sean bets
his entire 7,000 pound
order of dungeness crab
Is waiting in his gear.
we already
spent the money.
You know, we already
chartered the plane.
It's waitin' for us.
But we gotta
catch the crab first.
Hey, uh, this is going
straight to live market.
All right, jonah.
Go!
get some, baby! Whoo!
There you go.
watch out,
watch out, watch out.
Let's see what you got.
whoo! Come on!
- here we go!
- come on, crab!
here we go.
what a we got?
on the time band.
oh, baby!
holy schinke's!
Scared the *bleep* outta me!
The killer whale right there!
a friend
from the deep
catches johnathan...
Whoo!
un-a-whales.
It is back, baby!
Baby's back, yeah!
Oh, there he is
right there!
Holy moly!
What a big boy!
we knew
you'd be back, bandit.
We knew it!
That's cooler than heck, man.
Bandit, the whale.
My hair is standin'
on my neck, I'm so
happy right now.
bandit's just
hangin' out, you know?
He's a great guy.
there he is! Look at him come
all the way outta the water!
whoo!
It scared the heck
outta me, though.
Ah!
We got a whale
of a tale to tell.
11 million?
Man, rip, got any openings on the patty lee?
watch out,
watch out, watch out.
on the elinore.
let's see what you go
whoo! Come on!
- here we go!
- come on, crab!
here we go.
what a we got?
-Oh, yeah!
-Oh, yeah!
- whoo!
- whoo-hoo!
yeah!
Nice, man!
First pot looks good.
-That all?
-Yeah.
Sweet!
Seven!
that'll do it,
seven crab.
Feels we're made to finally
be catching somethin'.
One pot down,
next one's coming up.
whoo!
That was pretty good.
-Hell, yeah!
-Whoo!
That'll pay the bills.
all right!
We got crab, boys.
We're actually
makin' money now.
Keep up the pace boys,
let's go, go, go!
let's go!
Whoo!
- is that all for him?
- -oh yeah, that's money comin' outta there.
Keep throwin' at 'em.
Yeah, baby!
That's good, that's good.
- whoo!
- Yeah!
last pot
of the season,
boys, coming up!
-Last one!
-Last one!
-Finally!
-Whoo!
Whoo!
It's gonna be close,
we're gonna be down
to the wire.
But I think by the time
we hit the dock, box up
the crab, get to the airport,
I, I think we're
gonna make it.
We'll see.
360
miles southwest.
Let's do this.
on
the patricia lee.
well, here comes our,
uh, time bandit stray me
Johnathan found 'em, man.
He went down deep, got 'em,
even if it was an accident.
Let's just hope that tip
he gave me pans out.
We wanna get some gear haule
Get back on track.
with his block
holding firm,
Captain rip eases
up his first pot,
set at 300 fathoms.
Ready to make up for lost
momentum, and lost crab.
First pots comin'
up right now.
yeah, baby!
oh, yeah!
That is freakin' full.
Give me a count on that.
Fifty-seven and this one
looks good, too.
Yes!
Oh, my god, it's full!
Right on!
Nice!
I am absolutely loving
crab fishing, loving it.
Bring the money.
300 pounds, no doubt about it,
so thank you johnathan.
That's johnathan's strength.
That's a, that's
a good one, yeah!
Yeah, baby!
That's some good pot.
Lookin' good, john!
Hello, time bandit.
Oh, hey, buddy!
Oh, I just thought
I'd tell you, uh,
And it was money!
Pleasure's mine, buddy.
Thanks for that info.
Yeah, appreciate that.
So far, so good.
Everything helps now,
with red crab bein' closed,
anything we can do.
yeah,
this has been
workin' out great for us.
All right, johnathan.
Hey, good luck, okay?
Okay, buddy.
Bye.
rip's a good guy,
man. Nice of him to reach
out. I always like him.
He punched out the head
of fish and game once. Knocked
him out with one punch.
I don't condone punching out
fish and game people but...
I probably shouldn't tell
that story. We'll keep
that story to ourselves.
holy *bleep*!
That's like a $15,000
pot right there.
That's it for that pot.
Give sean a call, let
him know I'm running
in to off-load.
Hey, sean.
hey, jake.
How you doin', man?
How's the black cod?
I won't know until I off-load.
Whoo!
uh, well, it was
a little rocky to start,
But we figured out
a way to make it work.
Don't miss that plane.
Thanks, man.
Appreciate that.
Keep me posted.
All right, thanks.
Check you later, bye.
Got the last of the,
uh, crab off the boat,
Get this thing on a plane,
and send it halfway
across the world.
Clock's a tickin'.
We got a load of crab
on the line here,
So we're gonna
get this show
on the road.
Oh! Don't wanna forget that.
All right, boys. Let's load
this stuff up, huh?
get these
suckers to the airport.
Oh, yeah.
We got about
12 hours to get
these things to seattle,
And get 'em sold,
before they start dyin' off.
It was definitely
a gamble comin' out here,
and trying some dungees.
But it pays to think
on your feet, and do stuff
a little different sometimes
Hopefully, that works out
for us movin' forward.
Hey, how's it going, lenny?
*bleep* yeah.
That's the best news
I've heard in months.
High prices are coming.
Some economists believe
this supply chain bottleneck
Could keep prices high.
People want to
buy your product.
Yep, it's a supply problem.
We still have containers
that we don't know
where they're at.
we have
a short window here.
Catch our crab while the price
is nice and high.
I can't afford to have
anything go wrong out there
*bleep*
A little deeper
than I wanted to set.
We got a lot of crab to catch.
Right now, right there.
*bleep*
we got to get creativ
to maximize the product.
And if that means putting crab
on an airplane and flying it
to the asian markets
Where they'll be sold live,
Then that's what we gotta do.
30 miles northeas
of dutch harbor...
On the saga...
Yeah!
Oh my god.
Yeah!
that's black cod.
It's about 600 pounds.
yeah, brother.
It seems like he knows
where to find these fish.
Looking good.
Whoo! Whoo! Yeah!
Last pod on this string.
Then we'll head
to the next one.
Getting close.
We're almost there.
But we're not in the clear.
This is our final day,
final hour.
I have to catch this fish
or I forfeit the boat.
Let's see what we're made of
That's a good one. Whoo!
Heads up, mac!
Yeah, baby!
Sweet!
with the saga's
pink slip on the line,
Captain jake anderson target
the last hundred
thousand pounds
Of black cod quota.
And if the prices hold,
stands to gross a mammoth
$2.7 million payday.
Two miles.
Whoo! Alright!
The fishing's hot,
so all I have to do right now
is keep the block turning
With no mishaps.
Yeah, in about two miles,
you'll be running across
four strings.
Or don't.
...Turkey on 17?
Right here is the freeway
for american shipping.
With all these container ships
backing up,
It's not gonna take them much
to just ravage
through all my gear.
We're just small little bees
to them.
This is the problem
with fishing near the islands.
I can't stop.
I have to get this product
to the dock quickly.
That freighter's headed
right for our *bleep* pot.
Copy?
Damn it.
*bleep* turkish *bleep*
damn freighter.
Totally ghosted me.
Ran over my *bleep*
Can you guys see them?
I can't see my buoys anywhere.
This is un *bleep* believable.
This could take hours.
*bleep* you serious right now?
You know how many pots
I've ran over?
Never one!
The buoys are fire-engine red.
How the *bleep*
did you do that?
This is the problem
with long line.
You don't lose just one pot
you lose an entire string.
If I don't get this product
to the dock and delivered,
I'm gonna lose everything.
I have to.
I have no other choice.
190 miles northwest...
On the time bandit...
Okay, guys.
It's gonna be a beautiful day
on the bering sea, man.
I just want freddy
to be happy.
I got you, brother.
Alright, here we are
back in action.
We just finished up
our off load
and uh, did pretty good.
I'm heading north right now
going into the canyon
To the northwest section
of the canyon.
180 fathoms.
We have a short window here
while the demand's high
to get our crab to market.
I got really high hopes
for this string.
to seize
the spike in price,
Captain johnathan hillstran
approaches the first
of a 40 pot string,
Eager to fill his tanks
with the now lucrative
golden kings.
- hells yeah.
- let's do this.
Here we go. Drumroll, please.
Let's go, jared!
See what we get.
Boo. That's not
what I wanted to see here.
three crab that pot.
Disappointed. I was hoping
for a little bit more,
But we're just
getting started.
Come on, pot. Here we go.
come on, pot.
this is brutal.
Brutal.
One crab.
Not enough to make
a living though yet.
Damn it!
Oh, my god.
Slim pickings out here.
ay-yi-yi.
We can just stack it.
Stack and move
these son of bitches.
I don't know what to do.
I'm off the scent.
I need to come up
with something.
on the aleutian chain...
Coming up.
aboard the patricia lee...
Here we go. We're in the block
coming up.
We just got a little taste
right about here,
So we're working on
trying to get dialed in.
These crab,
they do move around
And I'm pretty optimistic
that they are around here.
captain rip carlton hones I
On his 1.5 million pound
golden king crab quota,
Potentially banking him
a fleet-leading $21 million
We got to get this haul fast.
Especially when
it's your money on the line.
as long as
the market stays hot.
This is a uh,
hard string to haul.
Got a couple of big, big rocks
That if you get the line
on the wrong side,
You'll get it tangled
and sheer it off.
I hope we can do it.
Alright, let's see
some crab here.
Oh, yeah, baby!
That's the real deal
right there.
this is a good sign.
Here's the kind of stuff
that gets me going.
If we see some crab
and we can hammer it,
Like that.
yeah. Okay.
I better set
the whole string back.
I mean, we need
to get them fast,
I'll tell you that.
That crab's on the move.
It's going somewhere.
Patricia lee.
I sure wish I could tell you
something good, but...
four.
I'm off the scent, so...
Yeah, well. Don't feel bad.
I didn't have luck
for like, ten years.
It takes a while
to figure them out.
They're a lot different
than uh, red crab,
that's for sure.
Where you fishing?
Between 175 fathoms and...
Okay, I got ya. I got ya.
Looks pretty good.
That's where you seeing them?
...We hauled,
we had a 37 average.
-Wow.
-It's deep and deep.
That's what they like.
If I was up there, I'd go
as deep as I possibly could,
250 plus.
*bleep* damn it.
oh *bleep*
That's not good.
I hope everything's
gonna be okay.
Damn it.
on the patricia lee...
It's so tight. I hope
we don't have a snarl.
There it is.
It's not tangled.
That's a bonus.
Let's just back
the whole thing up.
oh!
Oh *bleep*
What was that?
Oh my god. Seriously?
Anytime you see fluid
shoot from there,
that's not good.
*bleep*
lord.
I think we pressurized
the gear box and blew
the front plate off of it.
If that's blown,
I don't even know
what we're gonna do.
We don't do anything
without that block.
Block's not turning.
Okay, let's cut that and get
the buoys out of here
with this line.
I got to go down
and check this out.

if we don't

our trip is over.
We're gonna see
if we can fix it.
We have to. We have no option.
378 miles northeast...
On the dungeness
crab grounds...
400 pots. I'm gonna set
these things out.
If we can get this crab
to dock in time
On a plane over to
the live market in asia,
We can get some huge prices
for this stuff.
elinore j
captain sean dwyer
has a flight to catch.
but that buyer's got
a time window
that we can't miss.
So I got one more shot here
to try and pull
something together.
And if it doesn't
come through,
Then cut your losses
and go home.
You ready?
going over!
everything's gotta g
just right for us
to hit this window.
So we're gonna see
what happens.
let her go, boys.
Let her go.
on the pribilof
golden crab grounds...
talked to
my friend rip carlton.
I gave him a shout to just see
how he's doing out there
on the aleutian chain.
Gotta be a good guy
for me to talk to, you know.
We're a little bit shallower
than he's fishing out there.
So we're gonna try it
out over here.

a good set.
Might get lucky here.
You never know.
Okay, guys.
Let's get ready to set.
*bleep*
No, man. I didn't say, "set."
I said, "get ready to set."
*bleep*
A little deeper than
I wanted to set...
...I say okay.
Captain says, "set."
you set, baby.

Keep setting.
We got high, high hopes
we're gonna find
some crab here.
We'll see what happens.

On the saga...
I don't know. Maybe we should
put that chain on there.

We got the big hook out
and that's not very fun.
All because of some *bleep*
fool didn't want
to pay attention
At the *bleep* wheel.
But if I'm gonna save
this boat and my future,
Then I have to do it
and I have to do it now.

We'll try to get it
at the top end.
And hope it hooks up.
string is a mile long.
I'm doing about
two miles an hour.
I should get to the end of it
in 30 minutes.
And if we don't
get it that time,
we'll do it all over again.
I would never do this
in this kind of weather
unless I absolutely had to.
And right now, I have to.
I'm out of soak,
I'm out of pots.
I'm out of money
and now I'm out of time.
You guys ready?
...If it starts
getting sketchy,
cut the *bleep* lines.
You don't need
an order for that.
You feel unsafe and you got
to *bleep* cut, cut.
Here we go.
Alright, guys.
Let's let her rip.
oh, man. Please work.
I can't lose this gear.
on the saga.
Alright, guys. Let her rip.
please work.
I can't lose this gear.
Here's hoping, you know.
now I should
be drifting down
the buoy line itself.
I have to be very careful
how I stay on top
of this and drag.
I don't just want
to take it out of gear,
Let the wind
and waves take me,
and then, hope it hooks up.
I have to be on top of it
in order to even snag it.
I'm really hoping
this pans out.
I'm watching my drift
right now and...
What I'm waiting for it to do
is stop or slow down.
And I know I've anchored
myself to my long line string.

to the grapple below,
Jake watches his drift

Looking for any change
to indicate a firm connectio

I am starting to slow down.
Check it. It might
have something.
Pull up?
You're good. Just bring it in.
I think I got something.
she shouldn't be pulling
that far away.
If we didn't have nothing,
she'd be pulling
straight up and down.
I think I got something.
*bleep*
Pull it up, dude! Pull it up!
-We got it!
-We *bleep* got it, bro!
we got it! Hell yeah
*bleep*
We found the string.
We got it!
First try! First try
we got it dragging for it!
yeah!
That's the saga way
right there!
whoo.
Come on, mac.
Get that *bleep* pot up.
Let's see what we got here.
Holy *bleep*
Oh my god, dude.
Loaded, dude. Loaded.
And they're big too.
250.2-5-0.
That's 250!
Woah, dude.
Yeah!
The pots on the missing string
are awesome.
Oh, my god.
We might actually do this.
Absolutely
positively beautiful.
I can't believe
we got that string back.
I'm getting numbers and I have
a chance to make this offload.
But I have to finish strong
Let's see what the rest
of the gear holds.
175 miles northwest...
I throw the second half
of the day.
Yeah, 'cause you threw
all yesterday.
...You threw the day before.
Hey, my mind don't go
that far back.
on the time bandit...
going over
to our deep canyon set.
Just pulling up on it.
Gonna see what they have
on a short soak.
I talked to rip carlton
and he told me that he fishes
between 200 and 350.
I respect him.
I hope the canyon
does us good.
Prices have tripled
on golden crab.
So I get like a ten average,
I can really make
some money up there.
Just got to get through
some gear.
captain johnatha
pulls up to a string
set at 1,500 feet
Based on advice
from fellow captain
rip carlton.
Okay, guys.
Come on, crab.
Come on, crab, crab,
crab, crab!
I'm just gonna shut up
so I don't jinx us.
Here it comes.
Whoo-hoo. *bleep* yeah.
That's looking pretty
*bleep* good right there.
Eight crabs.
Whoo-hoo!
If things can just hold up.
- careful over there.
Watch the lines.
-here she comes.
keep it there, jared.
I'll get it. I'll get it.
Whoo-hoo. Whoo-hoo-hoo!
whoo!
That's what I'm talking about.
That looks like a good pot.
Thank you, lord.
We just pulled up
on that first spot
that I set a little deep,
Sort of short lined.
I can see it just...
It's just showing here.
There it comes.
Deepest we've gone.
oh, yeah. Oh yeah!
Oh my god.
That's got like,
20 in it maybe.
That's the best pot
of the year.
yeah, baby!
Whoo, we're onto
something here.
Pretty happy I came over here.
This is gonna save our ass.
I'm really glad
I reached out to rip.
He's a good guy
for me to talk to.
I might even call
him up right now.
250
miles southwest.
on the patricia lee.
Well, it looks like they
got the motor on,
The hoses are goin' on,
we're makin' progress.
Kyle's down there
weldin' it right now.
hopefully, that
will fix our problem.
But if we can't haul
this, our trip is over.
we go to town.
while
hauling nearly 50,000
pounds of gear,
The hydraulic motor

if his makeshift
fix doesn't hold.
I don't care if I have
to use pancake batter,
And put it on there,
and heat it with a heat gun.
Anything to seal that.
Come on, you guys.
There it goes.
I hope he'll answer.
oh, *bleep*
Not again.
We don't have
anytime to waste.
on the patricia lee.
oh, *bleep*
Not again.
Patricia lee.
just checking in
how you been, man?
Plenty a time
to *bleep* around it.
Oh, *bleep*.
We found a few crab,
so thank you.
Yeah.
Guess sometimes
it's better to be lucky
than good.
I'm gonna have
a season outta that.
I owe you some dinner.
All right, I'm out.
Sounds like he found
some crab, so good for him.
All I know is I've gotta see
if we can fix this thing.
All right, let's see
what happens here.
Here we go.
God, I hope this works.
Here we go!
if there's something
bigger wrong with our system
We'll see oil pour
out of it again.
oh, boy.
and that'll be that.
Need somethin' a lot
stronger than this.
So far, so good.
there we go.
Up, up, up, up, up, up,
up, up, up, up, up, up!
- oh! Whoo!
- whoo!
oh, yeah.
I think the party
is gonna keep on goin'.
How long it's
gonna work?
I don't know.
But it worked.
but this
one's pretty impressive.
All right, boys.
That's not good.
Mediocre at best.
We'll see if
it gets any better.
oh, my gosh.
These numbers are just not
where they need to be.
Ugh!
Well, that ain't good.
For eight crab.
That ain't gonna cut it.
We're goin' the wrong way.
These crab do move around.
They got legs,
so they can walk.
Those guys are like,
"let's get outta here."
his returns
diminishing after a 10-hour
repair to his block,
Captain rip deduces the herd
Capable of moving
at over 150 feet per hour,
is back on the March.
I really gotta
figure somethin' out.
We need to catch some crab,
and we gotta catch it now.
putting the veter
skipper back on the hunt.
I'll take intel
from anywhere,
anyone.
Especially johnathan up there,
that's good information.
It sounds like he found
some crab, even if
it was an accident.
We go deeper.
we need a good trip,
we need to get back on track
We gotta get this
girl full of crab.
Let's just hope we can do it
366
miles northeast.
on the elinore j.
this is gonna be
our last string of the seaso
We're really gamblin'
on the shallows.
400 pots, only one spot.
God, I hope it pays off.
We gotta rip through
this thing, get these
crab on quick.
Back to the dock,
over season, landed.
We got no time to spare.
with his deliver
to the asian market
just 24 hours away,
Captain sean bets
his entire 7,000 pound
order of dungeness crab
Is waiting in his gear.
we already
spent the money.
You know, we already
chartered the plane.
It's waitin' for us.
But we gotta
catch the crab first.
Hey, uh, this is going
straight to live market.
All right, jonah.
Go!
get some, baby! Whoo!
There you go.
watch out,

Let's see what you got.

Whoo!
un-a-whales.
It is back, baby!
Baby's back, yeah!
Oh, there he is
right there!
Holy moly!
What a big boy!
we knew
you'd be back, bandit.
We knew it!
That's cooler than heck, man.
Bandit, the whale.
My hair is standin'
on my neck, I'm so
happy right now.
bandit's just
hangin' out, you know?
He's a great guy.
there he is! Look at him come
all the way outta the water!
whoo!
It scared the heck
outta me, though.
Ah!
We got a whale
of a tale to tell.
11 million?
Man, rip, got any openings on the patty lee?
watch out,
watch out, watch out.
on the elinore.
let's see what you go
whoo! Come on!

here we go.

-Oh, yeah!
-Oh, yeah!

Nice, man!
First pot looks good.
-That all?
-Yeah.
Sweet!
Seven!
that'll do it,
seven crab.
Feels we're made to finally
be catching somethin'.
One pot down,
next one's coming up.
whoo!
That was pretty good.
-Hell, yeah!
-Whoo!
That'll pay the bills.
all right!
We got crab, boys.
We're actually
makin' money now.
Keep up the pace boys,
let's go, go, go!
let's go!
Whoo!
- is that all for him?
- -oh yeah, that's money comin' outta there.
Keep throwin' at 'em.
Yeah, baby!
That's good, that's good.
- whoo!
- Yeah!
last pot
of the season,
boys, coming up!
-Last one!
-Last one!
-Finally!
-Whoo!
Whoo!
It's gonna be close,
we're gonna be down
to the wire.
But I think by the time
we hit the dock, box up
the crab, get to the airport,
I, I think we're
gonna make it.
We'll see.
360
miles southwest.
Let's do this.
on
the patricia lee.
well, here comes our,
uh, time bandit stray me
Johnathan found 'em, man.
He went down deep, got 'em,
even if it was an accident.
Let's just hope that tip
he gave me pans out.
We wanna get some gear haule
Get back on track.
with his block
holding firm,
Captain rip eases
up his first pot,
set at 300 fathoms.
Ready to make up for lost
momentum, and lost crab.
First pots comin'
up right now.
yeah, baby!
oh, yeah!
That is freakin' full.
Give me a count on that.
Fifty-seven and this one
looks good, too.
Yes!
Oh, my god, it's full!
Right on!
Nice!
I am absolutely loving
crab fishing, loving it.
Bring the money.
300 pounds, no doubt about it,
so thank you johnathan.
That's johnathan's strength.
That's a, that's
a good one, yeah!
Yeah, baby!
That's some good pot.
Lookin' good, john!
Hello, time bandit.
Oh, hey, buddy!
Oh, I just thought
I'd tell you, uh,
And it was money!
Pleasure's mine, buddy.
Thanks for that info.
Yeah, appreciate that.
So far, so good.
Everything helps now,
with red crab bein' closed,
anything we can do.
yeah,
this has been
workin' out great for us.
All right, johnathan.
Hey, good luck, okay?
Okay, buddy.
Bye.
rip's a good guy,
man. Nice of him to reach
out. I always like him.
He punched out the head
of fish and game once. Knocked
him out with one punch.
I don't condone punching out
fish and game people but...
I probably shouldn't tell
that story. We'll keep
that story to ourselves.
holy *bleep*!
That's like a $15,000
pot right there.
That's it for that pot.
Give sean a call, let
him know I'm running
in to off-load.
Hey, sean.
hey, jake.
How you doin', man?
How's the black cod?
I won't know until I off-load.
Whoo!
uh, well, it was
a little rocky to start,
But we figured out
a way to make it work.
Don't miss that plane.
Thanks, man.
Appreciate that.
Keep me posted.
All right, thanks.
Check you later, bye.
Got the last of the,
uh, crab off the boat,
Get this thing on a plane,
and send it halfway
across the world.
Clock's a tickin'.
We got a load of crab
on the line here,
So we're gonna
get this show
on the road.
Oh! Don't wanna forget that.
All right, boys. Let's load
this stuff up, huh?
get these
suckers to the airport.
Oh, yeah.
We got about
12 hours to get
these things to seattle,
And get 'em sold,
before they start dyin' off.
It was definitely
a gamble comin' out here,
and trying some dungees.
But it pays to think
on your feet, and do stuff
a little different sometimes
Hopefully, that works out
for us movin' forward.
