Time to go. I'm done and want to
go home. It's driving me crazy.
I don't know when we'll see him
again.
Might be a few hours. Might be a
few days.
I want this trip over with.
This has become the trip from
hell.
Don't be scared, Josh. It's not
being scared. It's being smart.
Everything I've done in my whole
entire life
has led up to right there.
(MEN CHEER)
You know, this ain't a fun job.
We don't come out here for fun.
We come out here to make money.
If you can get and you can get
along
and you can get your own boat...
It's sweat, misery and pain.
I'm sorry!
It will be a rough ending. That's
all I know.

♪ THEME MUSIC
MAN: Watch out!
NARRATOR: 670km to the north-west
of Dutch Harbor is the 47m Wizard.
Hey, Carper! Yeah?
You don't do (BLEEP) around here.
What are you talking about?
Asked you to (BLEEP) make me
a pot of coffee three times this
(BLEEP) season,
and you're (BLEEP) too busy cos
you're (BLEEP) too busy sleeping.
Oh, too busy sleeping... HEY!
Don't you (BLEEP) get in my face.
(BLEEP) Do you understand me? Do
you understand?!
What the (BLEEP) is that? What
the (BLEEP) is that, Keith?
Back off (BLEEP), Keith. You're
out of line!
You're out of line. You don't do
that (BLEEP).
Go to bed or go out on deck. Get
out of my (BLEEP) face.
Raise your voice one more time
and you're going down (BLEEP).
After eight hours of pulling
empty pots...
..Captain Keith Colburn cracked
under the pressure.
I don't just snap over something
small.
A lot of (BLEEP) piles up and
finally I snap.
..unleashing his wrath on
cameraman Brad Carper.
He asked me to make him a (BLEEP)
cup of coffee.
A pot of (BLEEP) coffee, dude.
That's (BLEEP), man.
For some reason, I get all spun
up.
It could be that a lot of the
frustration I had
was some of the really bad
numbers we haul
is finally starting to bubble
out.
While Captain and cameraman
stew...
..out on deck...
MAN: (BLEEP) haul here, bro.
We're right in the ditch.
A 14-hour shift plagued by sand
fleas...
..finally comes to an end.
This area's... It's not working.
Not what we're after.
I gotta try and move the gear
again.
Keith sets a course for new
grounds.
Deckhand Freddy Maugatai's way of
turning the boat's fortune
is downright hairy.
I never know I'm so good at doing
this.
MAN: Sweet.
Sweet!
What do you think, Cap?
I think that looks good, man.
I can do it, but I don't have the
proper hairline for a Mohawk.
But you can... You know. You can
do it.
Cos of good luck?
Oh, Freddy, don't make me feel
like...
I hope this brings some good
luck.
Move out. I'm going in.
FREDDY: Oh!
Do it now before I have a change
of mind. (BLEEP)
Oh, awesome, awesome.
This better work. This better
work.
It will work. It will work.
Breaking the bad streak, Lenny.
The crew hits the deck,
hoping they shaved away the rest
of the bad luck.
MAN: Crab dance.
(LAUGHS) These goofballs.
The screws have completely
rattled free on the boat now.
Team Skinhead and Mohawk is now
officially at work.
We're gonna get some crab now.
Hopefully it'll bring some better
weather and greater fishing.
All right, so we're about to do
the lucky hair in the bait
technique right now.
Time to get back to work. Come
on! Come on! Let's do this!
Season over with!
Get on some fishing and go to
town.
50km away...
..the Cornelia Marie stares down
her final haul.
That's the one you set. Nice job.
It's even straight. Good job.
(LAUGHS)
Don't tell me 'nice job' yet.
Let's see what comes up.
28 hours ago...
OK. Are you ready to go?
..Josh Harrish set his first
30-pot string.
..which, for the Cornelia Marie,
may be the last.
I want to keep this boat fishing.
It's what I was born, bred and
corn-fed to do.
I'm gonna make it happen.
If we can get decent numbers out
of the gear,
we're gonna start stacking.
Not only will solid numbers end
the season...
Jake and Josh both have
potential.
I'm rooting for them. I really
am.
..they'll fuel the confidence of
two aspiring skippers.
Who knows what the future's gonna
bring?
I'm taking this personal.
This is all my crabbing
experience.
I'm expecting to see numbers.
I'm hoping. Fingers are crossed.
Definitely blame Josh if anything
sucks.
Definitely.
He set them, so I guess he gets
the blame.
CAPTAIN: That (BLEEP) sucks, man.
What the (BLEEP).
The first one sucked.
I hope it's not pot for pot the
whole way like this.
(MEN EXCLAIM)
MAN: Oh, look at that!
MAN: Sweet!
Woo!
(LAUGHS) At least we know there's
crab here.
(MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
If this keeps up, we won't make
fun of him.
MAN: Jackpot!
We're killing 'em. Just killing
'em. This is great.
Fish couldn't be much better than
this, man.
It's about as good as it gets.
MAN: Amen to that, brother!
That's probably 600 crab.
The bounty offers the Harris boys
a glimmer of hope.
MAN: Yeah, man!
Best dump we've had probably all
season of string right here.
Easy sorting. Numbers are great.
The crab are big and bountiful.
Their good fortune continues
straight through to morning.
MAN: A lot of happy crab.
Last pot of the season right
here. It's all over with.
Got what we needed.
Going home. Everything went our
way today.
It's sunny out. It's nice.
Last pot, dude. Last pot.
(MEN CHEER)
MAN: Rock'n'roll!
MAN: Game over.
OK, guys, that's the last pot
here.
So dump the crab.
Sending these guys back.
MAN: Get 'em out of it!
With the fate of the boat still
hanging in the balance,
the crew heads for home.
Each man pockets $21,000 for his
labour.
At the end, the grind's worth it,
you know?
Going home.

530km north-west of Dutch Harbor
is the Northwestern.
We've only got a day or so to get
the pots on,
stack 'em and get out of here.
With a south-west 50 looming in
the next couple of days,
all we have is a small window of
opportunity
and we're gonna take it.
Captain Sig Hansen races to
finish the season
before another storm engulfs the
grounds.
We need around 40,000-50,000lb of
crab in the gear
to call it a season.
But he can't stack pots before
stuffing the tanks.
We need like 300 crab per pot
to get us home right now.
First pot's coming up.
If we don't see the crab,
we're gonna have to dump it back.
Probably go back in and wait.
So it's all or nothing really.
Let's see what's in the first
one.
MAN: Oh, Lordy, Lordy.
(MEN CHEER)
Yeah!
We're going home, baby.
Are we going home?
We're going home!
Dial in!
Oh, yeah.
It's awesome, man.
What's it look like?
400 or 500. Real nice.
MAN: Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we're getting rich!
With numbers like these...
We basically have enough crab
to throw our pots on and get out
of here
before we get nailed.
The rest of Sig's quota is
soaking on the ocean floor.
(LAUGHS)
MAN: That's going home material
right there.
OK, Jake, this is all you, man.
So take control.
If they don't listen, just let me
know.
The crew must build an intricate
170-pot stack...
..without Edgar.
When he means I'm in charge,
it means I'll be running the
crane with Nick.
Stack on top, which is scary in a
40-knot wind.
And that's what we're dealing
with.
Normally, this would be an Edgar
show.
Now pretty much Jake is stepping
in there to take over,
so... so it's a lot, you know?
Hey, yo, can I get a deck huddle?
Combined, you guys taught me
everything I know out here.
I just want to say, before we
start, let's be safe, and...
Matt, you'll be throwing the
hook to the gear.
Nick, you'll be on the stack.
All right. Let's go, guys.
Northwestern.
Go, team!
MAN: Woo hoo!
MAN: Hey, hey, whoa.
I'm sorry!
30-year-old Jake Anderson
must oversee the hauling, the
sorting and the stacking
of every last pot.
MAN: Wait a second, Jake!
What? What the (BLEEP), dude?
Oh, my God!
MAN: Oh, that's... That's just
not good, dude.
SIG: Get a little control over
your pot
instead of running around like a
(BLEEP).
It's in the early AM.
It looks like this weather's
coming sooner than we expected.
We got a lot of snow squalls,
and now it's starting to pick up
more and more.
I'm looking at the stack and
biting my nails here.
Only one way to really learn and
do it, and that's to do it.
Next to running the boat, this is
the highest-stress job
you can get out here.
MAN: It's on it.
After stacking 60 pots...
We've been grinding all night.
He screwed up a couple of times,
which is OK.
He's doing good. Overall it's
fine, you know.
Jake begins to find his stride.
MAN: Doing a great job, Jake.
You know, I could tell home and
tell my mom.
She could be proud of her son.
My dad's watching me in heaven
right now.
Came a long way.
I came from off the streets. I
used to live on the streets.
I'm happy, but I'm not walking
through the front door yet.
With 40 pots remaining,
the aspiring deck boss gains the
trust of his crew.
Jake's doing good. He's holding
it together.
Couple of glitches here and
there.
He hasn't cracked yet.
He's so passionate about what
he's doing out there.
He's all about the fishing.
That's one thing you can't buy.
You can't buy passion.
Six long hours later...
MAN: We're gonna get rich and go
home!
(MEN CHEER)
..the final pots are lifted from
the sea.
All right. He didn't kill us.
I think I (BLEEP) my pants,
though.
I'm pretty sure, Uncle Nick, I
(BLEEP) my pants.
Jake Anderson proved himself
pretty worthy on the crane.
Pretty much pulled it off.
Awesome!
See? You did it!
I can't believe I did it, though.
Yeah. I really can't.
No, it was good.
One thing's missing - we gotta
give him a stripe.
Yeah, I get a stripe1
On your knees. We're gonna knight
you.
What are we gonna knight him?
What do you wanna name him?
MAN: 'Edgar Jr'?
No.
How about 'Edgar Wannabe'?
No!
Sir Jake of Northwestern -
deck boss, Northwestern.
Yeah.
Let's go home.
♪
♪
Across the fleet...
Really need to get this trip over
with.
And get the heck out of here.
The finish line to opilio season
draws near.
It's been a long trip.
The final pots are splashed.
All right. Back in business. Here
we go again.
The fate of the Seabrooke...
(GROANS)
..remains unknown.
We're running out of time. Got to
find some crab.
For a fortunate few...
All right. Last pot coming up.
Last pot! I'm going home!
..a two-month battle is finally
over.
We've had some highs and lows
this season. I don't know.
It's... it's nice to end on a
high.
Take me to town, Bill!
Get this pot aboard. We'll chain
it up. We head for town!
(MEN CHEER)
600,000lb. Just like that. In a
month!
Season over! Yee-ha!
Good job, brother.
Take me home!
Hey, which way to town? I don't
know. It might be that way.
Or it might be that way.
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
The course for home is plotted.
Woo!
And back in Dutch Harbor...
I need something, something to
shut them up for a long time.
(LAUGHS)
..one captain plots his revenge.
He got me. He got me good. I'll
admit it.
What is that? Is that a boat
coming here? Is it a chopper?
JOHNATHAN, ON RADIO: Did you see
our UFOs?
Is that Johnathan?
(MEN CHEER)
You just scared the (BLEEP) out
of me.
(LAUGHS)
How do you teach a little child
when he does something wrong?
You give him a little time out.
So I think it's time for our
children on the Time Bandit
to have a little time out.
We owe them now.
Team Time Bandit - now I've got
to return fire.
SIG: Payback time coming.
630km to the north-west...
..is the 47m Wizard.
I'm about fed up with this trip.
This has become the trip from
hell.
Time to get out of hell and get
this season over with.
This is the Mohawk string we're
going to go pull.
So it should be pretty good.
Better be.
Captain Keith Colburn heads for
the top of his Mohawk string.
Going to make some money!
Let's get this boat filled up and
go home.
Certainly not going in there
light and stranding any crab.
Get ready. It's coming up.
(MEN CHEER)
Oh, man! Oh, yeah! Yeah!
(CHEERS)
(LAUGHS)
About time!
Oh yeah, baby. (SPEAKS
INDISTINCTLY)
It's making it rain.
(MEN CHEER)
It's about time we got some big
pots coming over the rail.
The weather's been bad. The
fishing's been poor.
We're ready to get this trip over
with and go in.
(CHEERING)
Yeah, baby!
Shave our hair for a little bit
of luck there
and mix it up with bait.
The crew offered up half heads of
hair...
Look at the size of these things.
..and the crab gods answered...
MEN: Yeah!
..with full pots.
KEITH: 565. Right on, Lenny!
(GRUNTS)
Finish this trip in style.
Doggone it, man.
That's just the way to do it.
All right. Last one's on the bow
here, guys.
This is the one we've been
looking for, man.
This trip is over!
Woo! That's it, baby.
The trip from hell!
Yeah! Yeah!
Woo hoo!
(MEN CHEER)
(MEN SPEAK INDISTINCTLY)
Nice trip, man.
The tanks are stuffed.
Good job!
Good job!
Let's get the hell out of here.
Len!
And each crew member rakes in
$81,000 in cash.
Good job, man. Let's see the
Mohawk!
That ain't no (BLEEP) Mohawk.
That's a Mohawk! (LAUGHS)
MAN: Check it out!
Well done, guys. Let's strap it
down, get the hell out of here.
All right.
580km north-west of Dutch
Harbor...
Pass that stone, Junior.
..on the Seabrooke...
He told me just drive to the next
string. I'll be fine.
He wasn't fine.
He's all curled up on the floor
in the bathroom.
Captain Scott Campbell Junior...
(GROANS)
..may be in dire need of medical
attention.
We don't know what's going on.
But hopefully he'll be all right.
And now the boat's entire season
is on the line.
We're on a limited time period
here.
We've only got like a day and a
half of fishing left.
Taking the skipper to Dutch
Harbor
will add an extra week of fishing
to their season.
We don't know what's going to
happen. A big gamble.
A big gamble for all of us.
After a gut-wrenching 14-hour
fight...
Size of a grain of sand.
MAN: Damn, man.
That's something.
Just like... And then you got...
Like pissing razor blades for
like the next 12 hours, dude.
It sucks, but you know what? Back
to work.
Hi.
Are you sure? Yep.
Taking no time for recovery,
the wounded skipper gets back to
his post...
(EXHALES)
Do you need anything?
..and heads for the top of his
gear.
I hope this... good spot that
we're at -
hope this is the one in here.
I'm gonna have one time through
the gear.
I'm gonna get what I get.
This could be a big bust. This
could be a huge bust.
With their final offload in just
36 hours,
the Seabrooke's fate comes down
to one last string.
I mean, I could pull 100 average,
or I could pull blanks.
I could be waiting ten days to
deliver, so...
We need a miracle to make it.
There's a lot riding on this.
Happy thoughts, man, happy
thoughts.
(CHEERING)
MAN: That's what I'm talking
about!
Wow. That's what we're looking
for.
That'll get us on the road.
MAN: It's a miracle.
Yeah!
Great crab. Really nice.
White bellies. They're looking
really good.
Fill these tanks up. Go to town.
Make our delivery.
Get paid on time.
How many was in that pot?
285. I like it, I like it.
Can taste the jet fuel.
We're on our way home.
This is exactly what these guys
needed
after being up for 32 hours.
They're going to be able to ride
this high,
get this crab down, get these
tanks full,
get the heck out of here.
The crew hauls into the night.
We're kicking ass.
Holy smokes.
1,120? Holy (BLEEP).
1,120.
..and the crab count soars.
MAN: Yeah!
(LAUGHS)
Like a kid in a candy store.
MAN: Yeah!
I could never ever have dreamed
in my life
that I would ever see this
fishing.
Pretty impressive. That's the
biggest pot I've ever seen.
This tank is full.
1,285. A new record. Wow.
So close! So close, man. (LAUGHS)
That's the last pot, boys.
We're going home!
(CHEERING)
After surviving pain that brought
him to his knees...
This is gonna be a huge finish
for us. Huge finish!
MAN: Yeah!
..Junior rallies back.
Yeah, these are huge numbers.
Biggest I've ever seen.
..stuffing the tanks...
That season was a great season.
Every year we seem to get
a little bit better.
..sending his men home with
$40,000 each.
I wanna be the best.
I wanna have the highest catch.
I wanna catch more pounds than
anybody else.
(CHEERING)
I wanna be a legend.
That's just how I roll.
And I'll never change.

As the fleet returns home to Dutch
Harbor...
..aboard the Kodiak...
I can honestly say I've never
seen Bill up on the bow
while the boat's moving before.
I don't think anybody has.
I don't think anybody has in 30
years.
Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski
turns the wheel over to
deck boss Adam McCalden.
His whole thing is he wants to
drive.
He's not quite there yet, but
this is a small step
in showing him that I'm making
the effort, you know?
I figured I'd better throw him a
bone before he has a breakdown.
It's pretty cool to see Zach and
Bill up there together.
I'm sure that will probably never
happen again.
That's pretty cool for Zach.
Thanks for coming out, buddy.
Damn!
We'll really turn you into a
fisherman.
You won't want to give it up.
Crabbing?
Yeah, fishing in general. We'll
see. We'll see what happens.
After putting in two months of
sweat and pain...
Look at that. He's actually
smiling. What's up?
..each crew member receives
$70,000 in return.
With Dutch Harbor firmly in their
sights...
We're done!
Yeah!
..the 34m Time Bandit is nearly
home.
Got all the pots on the boat.
We're heading to town.
It feels great to be getting done
here. It feels awesome.
It's hard being gone, though, you
know. Oh, yeah.
Looking forward to getting on
that plane in the morning.
Deckhands Scott Hillstrand and
Justin Tennison
look to the future.
Man, I'm ready to go home and see
my kids.
It's been a while here.
He's just getting old enough
to acknowledging me being gone.
You know, wondering why, and he
wants to come see me.
It gets better, brother. It gets
better.
As they get bigger, it gets
better.
Carter's six. Just started school
this year.
Then Dakota, she's 15, a
sophomore.
That is a crazy world.
She's watched Dad screw up his
whole life.
You know, to see me doing good
now, it makes her proud,
which, you know, makes me feel
good about myself.
So, yeah, it's awesome, man.
Good thing she looks like her
mom.
(BOTH LAUGH)
As the Time Bandit navigates Dutch
Harbor,
on the Northwestern...
That's John and Andy on the Time
Bandit right there.
It's like shooting fish in a
barrel.
Captain Sig Hansen tracks their
every move.
They gotta come round the corner.
Was just a matter of when.
MAN: They were supposed to be
over there.
Yo, yo, Andy, I see you there.
You got me?
Yeah, what are you doing over
there, buddy?
How did your season go? Was it
good?
It's all good. All good.
I got a little shake in the back
there. I don't know what it is.
Don't know if we've got a line or
a bag or...
I can't tell what's going on.
You want me to swing by your
stern and see if I see anything?
Yeah. Just nice and easy. Come in
close.
Roger that.
When I tell them there's
vibration back there...
You know, I think I might have
line in my wheel...
It's believable to a fisherman
because it's happened.
It does happen.
He'll come and help.
Even if they do get a little
leery,
they will stick to the code.
Hello, Northwestern.
Right now we're getting ready to
board.
I am now battle-ready.
You come on, boys. Come to Papa.
Payback's a (BLEEP).
MAN: Fire in the hole!
(LAUGHS)
Hey, the Northwestern's shooting
at us, man.
(BELL)
We're under attack.
MEN: Woo!
Woo hoo!
(ANDY SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
(LAUGHS)
Get 'em, boys!
Return fire! Return fire!
(MEN SHOUT)
Oh, he's shooting back!
Take cover, men!
Give me fire!
MAN: Oh, yeah!
It's like World War III.
MAN: Woo! Yeah!
Cease fire. Cease fire. Cease
fire.
They're calling for a ceasefire.
Cease fire! Cease fire!
Cease fire! Woo!
You got us good, you albino piece
of (BLEEP). (LAUGHS)
That was a good one, man.
MAN: That was just (BLEEP).
The problem with this kind of
warfare is
always expect the unexpected.
I didn't think they'd be ready
for us.
That was one way to finish up our
season, man. MAN: Hell yeah.
Phil would be proud of us on that
one, baby.
We got 'em, boys.
Let's fire the rest of these up
in the sky.
After spending 42 agonising days
battling the Bering Sea for their
opilio bounty...
MAN: Woo!
..each fisherman on the
Northwestern takes home $46,000...
(MEN SHOUT)
..while the crew of the Time
Bandit walks with $72,000
in cold, hard cash.
(CHEERING)
Oh, yeah!
Yeah!
Woo!
24km outside of Dutch Harbor,
the Cornelia Marie ends another
voyage on the Bering Sea.
Got kind of sad thinking that
this might be
the last little crabby hoorah.
But the battle-tested vessel
faces an uncertain future.
We've definitely got to do what
we can.
Keep this going for ourselves,
for Dad.
I don't know what's holding us
back, dude. Sky's the limit.
We just know the type of captain
that we want to be -
the type of captain that people
respect.
I'm pretty sure I want to take
the bull by the horns.
(BLEEP) ride that puppy till it
bucks me off.
Gotta do it the right way.
It IS the right way.
Don't be scared, Josh. It's not
being scared. It's being smart.
You're fast-tracking it. Worked
on this boat for eight years.
But you haven't been driving for
eight years.
Everything I've done in my whole,
entire life
has led up to right there.
Dad sat in this chair when he was
21, Josh.
Do you think he had all the
answers? No, I don't think so.
But he had the will, and that's
exactly how you do it.
You don't have to be scared. You
jump into the (BLEEP).
Do it the right way. I'm doing it
the right way, Josh.
How many years do you have to sit
back
and watch somebody else run your
(BLEEP)?
Bottom line's this - if you want
to do things your way,
then you can go, get a loan,
get your own boat...
You can hire somebody
to run your boat
so you can work on deck at your
own boat.
That would be awesome.
Are the kids ready to take it
over?
Maybe they can, maybe they can't.
Could be the last trip for me on
the Cornelia Marie. I don't know.
It's hard to say what the future
holds, you know.
It's not as easy as I think they
think it is.
We don't come out here for fun.
We come out here to make money.
It's sweat, misery and pain.
The boat passes Captain Phil's
final resting place.
We're trying.
We're doing our best.

the Cornelia Marie's storied
legacy
falls on the shoulders of two
young fishermen.
And we're off.

of Dutch Harbor is the 47m Wizard.
Hey, Carper! Yeah?
You don't do (BLEEP) around here.
What are you talking about?
Asked you to (BLEEP) make me
a pot of coffee three times this
(BLEEP) season,
and you're (BLEEP) too busy cos
you're (BLEEP) too busy sleeping.
Oh, too busy sleeping... HEY!
Don't you (BLEEP) get in my face.
(BLEEP) Do you understand me? Do

What the (BLEEP) is that? What

Back off (BLEEP), Keith. You're

You're out of line. You don't do

After eight hours of pulling
empty pots...
..Captain Keith Colburn cracked
under the pressure.
I don't just snap over something
small.
A lot of (BLEEP) piles up and
finally I snap.
..unleashing his wrath on
cameraman Brad Carper.
He asked me to make him a (BLEEP)
cup of coffee.
A pot of (BLEEP) coffee, dude.
That's (BLEEP), man.
For some reason, I get all spun
up.
It could be that a lot of the
frustration I had
was some of the really bad
numbers we haul
is finally starting to bubble
out.
While Captain and cameraman
stew...
..out on deck...
MAN: (BLEEP) haul here, bro.
We're right in the ditch.
A 14-hour shift plagued by sand
fleas...
..finally comes to an end.
This area's... It's not working.
Not what we're after.
I gotta try and move the gear
again.
Keith sets a course for new
grounds.
Deckhand Freddy Maugatai's way of
turning the boat's fortune
is downright hairy.
I never know I'm so good at doing
this.
MAN: Sweet.
Sweet!
What do you think, Cap?
I think that looks good, man.
I can do it, but I don't have the
proper hairline for a Mohawk.
But you can... You know. You can
do it.
Cos of good luck?
Oh, Freddy, don't make me feel
like...
I hope this brings some good
luck.
Move out. I'm going in.
FREDDY: Oh!
Do it now before I have a change
of mind. (BLEEP)
Oh, awesome, awesome.
This better work. This better
work.
It will work. It will work.
Breaking the bad streak, Lenny.
The crew hits the deck,
hoping they shaved away the rest
of the bad luck.
MAN: Crab dance.
(LAUGHS) These goofballs.
The screws have completely
rattled free on the boat now.
Team Skinhead and Mohawk is now
officially at work.
We're gonna get some crab now.
Hopefully it'll bring some better
weather and greater fishing.
All right, so we're about to do
the lucky hair in the bait
technique right now.
Time to get back to work. Come
on! Come on! Let's do this!
Season over with!
Get on some fishing and go to
town.
50km away...
..the Cornelia Marie stares down
her final haul.
That's the one you set. Nice job.
It's even straight. Good job.
(LAUGHS)
Don't tell me 'nice job' yet.
Let's see what comes up.
28 hours ago...
OK. Are you ready to go?
..Josh Harrish set his first
30-pot string.
..which, for the Cornelia Marie,
may be the last.
I want to keep this boat fishing.
It's what I was born, bred and
corn-fed to do.
I'm gonna make it happen.
If we can get decent numbers out
of the gear,
we're gonna start stacking.
Not only will solid numbers end
the season...
Jake and Josh both have
potential.
I'm rooting for them. I really
am.
..they'll fuel the confidence of
two aspiring skippers.
Who knows what the future's gonna
bring?
I'm taking this personal.
This is all my crabbing
experience.
I'm expecting to see numbers.
I'm hoping. Fingers are crossed.
Definitely blame Josh if anything
sucks.
Definitely.
He set them, so I guess he gets
the blame.
CAPTAIN: That (BLEEP) sucks, man.
What the (BLEEP).
The first one sucked.
I hope it's not pot for pot the
whole way like this.
(MEN EXCLAIM)
MAN: Oh, look at that!
MAN: Sweet!
Woo!
(LAUGHS) At least we know there's
crab here.
(MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
If this keeps up, we won't make
fun of him.
MAN: Jackpot!
We're killing 'em. Just killing
'em. This is great.
Fish couldn't be much better than
this, man.
It's about as good as it gets.
MAN: Amen to that, brother!
That's probably 600 crab.
The bounty offers the Harris boys
a glimmer of hope.
MAN: Yeah, man!
Best dump we've had probably all
season of string right here.
Easy sorting. Numbers are great.
The crab are big and bountiful.
Their good fortune continues
straight through to morning.
MAN: A lot of happy crab.
Last pot of the season right
here. It's all over with.
Got what we needed.
Going home. Everything went our
way today.
It's sunny out. It's nice.
Last pot, dude. Last pot.
(MEN CHEER)
MAN: Rock'n'roll!
MAN: Game over.
OK, guys, that's the last pot
here.
So dump the crab.
Sending these guys back.
MAN: Get 'em out of it!
With the fate of the boat still
hanging in the balance,

530km north-west of Dutch Harbor
is the Northwestern.
We've only got a day or so to get
the pots on,
stack 'em and get out of here.
With a south-west 50 looming in
the next couple of days,
all we have is a small window of
opportunity
and we're gonna take it.
Captain Sig Hansen races to
finish the season
before another storm engulfs the
grounds.
We need around 40,000-50,000lb of
crab in the gear
to call it a season.
But he can't stack pots before
stuffing the tanks.
We need like 300 crab per pot
to get us home right now.
First pot's coming up.
If we don't see the crab,
we're gonna have to dump it back.
Probably go back in and wait.
So it's all or nothing really.
Let's see what's in the first
one.
MAN: Oh, Lordy, Lordy.
(MEN CHEER)
Yeah!
We're going home, baby.
Are we going home?
We're going home!
Dial in!
Oh, yeah.
It's awesome, man.
What's it look like?
400 or 500. Real nice.
MAN: Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we're getting rich!
With numbers like these...
We basically have enough crab
to throw our pots on and get out
of here
before we get nailed.
The rest of Sig's quota is
soaking on the ocean floor.
(LAUGHS)
MAN: That's going home material
right there.
OK, Jake, this is all you, man.
So take control.
If they don't listen, just let me
know.
The crew must build an intricate
170-pot stack...
..without Edgar.
When he means I'm in charge,
it means I'll be running the
crane with Nick.
Stack on top, which is scary in a
40-knot wind.
And that's what we're dealing
with.
Normally, this would be an Edgar
show.
Now pretty much Jake is stepping
in there to take over,
so... so it's a lot, you know?
Hey, yo, can I get a deck huddle?
Combined, you guys taught me
everything I know out here.
I just want to say, before we
start, let's be safe, and...
Matt, you'll be throwing the
hook to the gear.
Nick, you'll be on the stack.
All right. Let's go, guys.
Northwestern.
Go, team!
MAN: Woo hoo!
MAN: Hey, hey, whoa.
I'm sorry!
30-year-old Jake Anderson
must oversee the hauling, the
sorting and the stacking
of every last pot.
MAN: Wait a second, Jake!
What? What the (BLEEP), dude?
Oh, my God!
MAN: Oh, that's... That's just
not good, dude.
SIG: Get a little control over
your pot
instead of running around like a
(BLEEP).
It's in the early AM.
It looks like this weather's
coming sooner than we expected.
We got a lot of snow squalls,
and now it's starting to pick up
more and more.
I'm looking at the stack and
biting my nails here.
Only one way to really learn and
do it, and that's to do it.
Next to running the boat, this is
the highest-stress job
you can get out here.
MAN: It's on it.
After stacking 60 pots...
We've been grinding all night.
He screwed up a couple of times,
which is OK.
He's doing good. Overall it's
fine, you know.
Jake begins to find his stride.
MAN: Doing a great job, Jake.
You know, I could tell home and
tell my mom.
She could be proud of her son.
My dad's watching me in heaven
right now.
Came a long way.
I came from off the streets. I
used to live on the streets.
I'm happy, but I'm not walking
through the front door yet.
With 40 pots remaining,
the aspiring deck boss gains the
trust of his crew.
Jake's doing good. He's holding
it together.
Couple of glitches here and
there.
He hasn't cracked yet.
He's so passionate about what
he's doing out there.
He's all about the fishing.
That's one thing you can't buy.
You can't buy passion.
Six long hours later...
MAN: We're gonna get rich and go
home!
(MEN CHEER)
..the final pots are lifted from
the sea.
All right. He didn't kill us.
I think I (BLEEP) my pants,

I'm pretty sure, Uncle Nick, I

Jake Anderson proved himself
pretty worthy on the crane.
Pretty much pulled it off.
Awesome!
See? You did it!
I can't believe I did it, though.
Yeah. I really can't.
No, it was good.
One thing's missing - we gotta
give him a stripe.
Yeah, I get a stripe1
On your knees. We're gonna knight
you.
What are we gonna knight him?
What do you wanna name him?

No.
How about 'Edgar Wannabe'?
No!

Woo!
And back in Dutch Harbor...
I need something, something to

(LAUGHS)
..one captain plots his revenge.
He got me. He got me good. I'll

You give him a little time out.
So I think it's time for our

We owe them now.
Team Time Bandit - now I've got

SIG: Payback time coming.
630km to the north-west...

I'm about fed up with this trip.
This has become the trip from

Time to get out of hell and get

This is the Mohawk string we're
going to go pull.
So it should be pretty good.
Better be.
Captain Keith Colburn heads for

Going to make some money!
Let's get this boat filled up and

Yeah, baby!
Shave our hair for a little bit

580km north-west of Dutch

Pass that stone, Junior.
..on the Seabrooke...
He told me just drive to the next
string. I'll be fine.
He wasn't fine.
He's all curled up on the floor
in the bathroom.
Captain Scott Campbell Junior...
(GROANS)
..may be in dire need of medical
attention.
We don't know what's going on.
But hopefully he'll be all right.
And now the boat's entire season
is on the line.
We're on a limited time period
here.
We've only got like a day and a
half of fishing left.
Taking the skipper to Dutch
Harbor
will add an extra week of fishing
to their season.
We don't know what's going to
happen. A big gamble.
A big gamble for all of us.
After a gut-wrenching 14-hour
fight...
Size of a grain of sand.

Just like... And then you got...
Like pissing razor blades for
like the next 12 hours, dude.
It sucks, but you know what? Back

Hi.
Are you sure? Yep.
Taking no time for recovery,

his post...
(EXHALES)
Do you need anything?
..and heads for the top of his
gear.
I hope this... good spot that
we're at -
hope this is the one in here.
I'm gonna have one time through
the gear.
I'm gonna get what I get.
This could be a big bust. This
could be a huge bust.
With their final offload in just
36 hours,
the Seabrooke's fate comes down
to one last string.
I mean, I could pull 100 average,
or I could pull blanks.
I could be waiting ten days to
deliver, so...
We need a miracle to make it.
There's a lot riding on this.
Happy thoughts, man, happy
thoughts.

MAN: That's what I'm talking

Wow. That's what we're looking

That'll get us on the road.
MAN: It's a miracle.
Yeah!
Great crab. Really nice.
White bellies. They're looking
really good.
Fill these tanks up. Go to town.
Make our delivery.
Get paid on time.
How many was in that pot?
285. I like it, I like it.
Can taste the jet fuel.
We're on our way home.
This is exactly what these guys
needed
after being up for 32 hours.
They're going to be able to ride
this high,

We're kicking ass.
Holy smokes.

How many years do you have to sit
back

Bottom line's this - if you want
to do things your way,
then you can go, get a loan,
get your own boat...
You can hire somebody

That would be awesome.
Are the kids ready to take it

Maybe they can, maybe they can't.
Could be the last trip for me on
