12x03 - No Good Deed..

[bunniefuu]

Directv.
>Bill, what is your exact
coordinates?

You know what, this is
getting thin, buddy.
I told you I was at 20-06.

We drove into each other, bump
anchors, I cannot [bleep] you
haven't done a [bleep] thing to

Pick this up.
Get it in your pompous head, you
come my direction -- [bleep].

World has been handed to that
little b*stard, someone needs to
smack him in the face.

Ami wanted dead or alive ¶
narrator: three wings since

King crab season.
We have a bunch of gear,
bunch of pots on board.

Now it is a matter of grinding.
Narrator: transition from red
crab to the elusive bairdi is

Under way.
Right now the entire fleet is
trying to get to bairdi grounds.

Off to the first season of
bairdi.
Narrator: those that finished

King crab early get first crack.
Scary.
You want to get there early



Enough to find crab.
Narrator: the boats stuck on
red crab scramble to tap off

Quota.
It is a race to get to
bairdi, but we're not done.

Narrator: 195 miles north of
dutch harbor.
The 110 foot brenna a.

Getting ready to set the
first crab pot of the season.
It is exciting.

First time setting my own crab
pots, you know.
Narrator: after weeks of

Preparation, the time has
arrived for freshman skipper
shawn dwyer to see if heas h the

Goods to be a bearing see crab
captain.
Hopefully set these in the

Right spot and make some money.
My strategy right now is to set
all this [bleep] out, hope that

It lands on crab.
Narrator: shawn leased
200,000 pounds of excess quota

From captain sig hanson.
This is my one chance, if I
screw around, no one will wan to

Give me more crab to catch.
Narrar:to and he expects
return on investment.

First pot in memory of my
dad.
I feel like my drive to carry on

The business got stronger after
he passed away.
We're going to christen this

First crab pot with a bottle of
whiskey for good luck.
Narrator: captain chris is

Waiting for help from above.
We're not going to drink, we
are going to smash this irish

Whiskey on the pot for good
luck.
My old man loved irish whiskey.

One for the old man.
That's right.
We will give him a drink.

Hey!
All right.
Ready, boys?

Let's get to work, huh?
Ready to get it done.
Make some money.

Bairdi!
Christened the first crab
pots, week set them.

Get the pots off the boat.
All right, you ready?
This is the whiskey train.

All right.
Here we go!
Woo!

Bairdi!
Bairdi!
There she is.

First pot in the water.
First bag in the water.
Clock is ticking, boys.

Hurry up.
You want to do that now?
Got it.

You guys have to go faster
than this.
Narrator: with little

Crabbing experience between
them.
This is embarrassingly slow.

That pot should be staged, ready
to drop.
Narrator: the green crew and

Captain are learning on the job.
What's the problem.
I literally can't go any

Slower.
You have to try to go faster.
Roger dodger.

[Bleep] this one way out
there.
This one might be a little

Further spaced than I wanted.
There's definitely a learning
curve, you know, in all this

Stuff.
Hopefully not too steep.
Narrator: 135 miles east.

Aboard the 113 foot time bandit.
After a banner start to king
crab season.

Oh, man.
[Bleep].
Narrator: captain johnathan

Hillstrand's hot streak has gone
cold.
We need to start rallying.

I am not loaded yet, seven days
and this boat ain't loaded.
What?

One crab.
This is getting scarey.
I am going to spot check,

Hopefully get backn o the crab
out there, you know.
The crab are just not coming up

Over the rails.
Narrator: deckhand freddie
makes a last ditch plea to the

Crab gods.
I didn't even dance at my
wedding.

All right.
This trip is over.
Oh man, bummer.

That one really sucks.
All that bait.
Five crab.

I think we're in a lot of
trouble here.
I thinkno ather year not going

To have crab.
There's no crab here.
We are under pressure.

I am done with this area, I'm
gone.
We have to get ahead of these

Crab.
So we don't know nothing yet.
I have to call my buddy keith.

They're about 14 miles away.
Narrator: on bad numbers.
What's up, man.

Waited too long.
Narrator: skipper calls in
the favor of an old friend.

All right, road runner.
Narrator: captain keith
colbert.

Thought I had them to chase.
Not seeing nothing.
Know want to stay out here too

Long.
I'm seeing 24 in 12 hours.
26 In 12 hours.

There's a bunch of boats to
the east and bunch of boats to
the north.

Basically I'd load them up, get
up here.
Okay.

Thank you.
I'm probably come on out.
Okay.

We're going to stack this
crab pot and then see our buddy
keith.

Narrator: the skipper stacks
on before taking his chances on
new grounds.

Keith said he is seeing
couple crab an hour in the
middle of a bunch of boats.

Anyway, better than what we have
going on here.
What the heck, huh?

Here we go.
Narrator: 65 miles south.
First season ever for the

Wheelhouse of bairdi.
Narrator: 128 foot cornelia
marie.

Makes a difference to be in
bairdi grounds.
Going to take advantage of king

Crab fishing, turn it into head
start for bairdi.
Narrator: casey mcmanus, josh

Harris hit the king crab quota
in an impressive six days.
But now that investors own

Majority share of the boat, the
duo must continue to produce to
keep their gig.

Going to run 24/7 operation.
Let's get it on.
Right now doing conversion

Day.
Take all of the pots, put boards
in them.

Narrator: to get on the crab
early, they're converting pots
while steaming to the grounds.

Get out there, you have a
bairdi grounds, pot is not
turning, I am not earning.

Narrator: before they can
fish, pots must be retrofitted
to accommodate the smaller

Species.
8 Inch rings allow the young
ill*gal crab to escape unharmed.

Did you have enough bairdi?
Yeah.
I bought enough to do 300 pots.

Can't find their rings?
Yeah.
You brought 1200, right?

Yeah.
We have 250 rings left.
Narrator: 250 rings will only

Outfit a fourth of the
cornelia's gear.
Brought everything aboard.

Make a phone call.
I have to go to the bathroom,
dude.

Yeah?
Enough for like 60 some pots.
Yeah.

Son of a b*tch.
The gear is your
responsibility.

This is really going to suck.
Hit the reset on bairdi all
together.

Idevently it is our fault.
He acts like we grabbed them and
threw them away.

Like we threw them over the
side, we don't want bairdi.
We don't have enough bairdi

Rings.
That means we have to go back to
dutch and get them.

We basically have

Narrator: 200 miles northeast
of dutch harbor.
The time bandit.

What's up?
I am at 12 and a half and 06.
You want me east and west?

How do you want me to do this.
Narrator: taking advantage
from a tip from an old friend.

Keep going straight where
you're at, start setting at the
20 line, you're going to set

Down the middle of where I had
that pot string.
Okay, man, I appreciate this.

Narrator: captain johnathan
hillstrand moved to new grounds.
Okay.

I hope juan hillstrand is set
up on pretty good fishing.
Hopefully have that 26.

I am not so sure.
There's other boats in the area.
When I hit the 20 line, supposed

To let them go.
I'm really close.
There's a lot of boats, nothing

Is good like that.
We are almost ready to set
here.

Okay.
Yeah!
Yeah!

I don't know how the crab are
going to go here.
Take the gamble with keith, see

What happens.
Narrator: 75 miles south on
the cornelia marie.

This is a $3,000 three day
[bleep].
Loss of the escape rings

Threaten to erode their head
start to bairdi.
I have a really good crew,

But they screwed up.
Narrator: after a three hour
search, rings are still nowhere

To be found.
Obviously didn't pick up
enough rings.

You were the one going to the
store.
We have negative to do a few

Pots.
Somebody else has to come out
with the rings.

So what, let's fish.
Let's go.
Hey, kid.

What are the three words?
[Bleep].
I have an idea, man.

What if we just fish whit what
we got, tell one of our buddies
to come out with more rings,

Then fix the rest of the pots.
Anyway, that's my thought.
Call me.

Let me know what you want to do.
So what's your plan?
Are we immediately turning

Around?
Well, first of all, call up
and see if they have the rings.

If they do, see if we can track
down somebody to bring them out
here for us, okay?

Hey, what's going on, wayne.
Josh harrison on the cornelia.
You have any bairdi rings by

Chance?
You do?
Can you put 400 aside for us?

All right cool.
Hey, do you know of anybody
coming out to bairdi grounds

That hasn't left dutch?
The cape caution.
Can we get his number?

Can we get his number?
All right.
Bye.

[ Phone ringing ]
narrator: 145 miles
southwest.

Hello.
Narrator: captain wild bill
makrowski is just heading out of

Dutch.
Hey bill, josh.
What's going on.

I am fishing bairdi and for
some reason my guys didn't grab
all the bairdi rings, I heard

Through the grapevine you might
be popping out soon.
I was wondering if there's any

Way you can possibly grab them
for me?
All right, man, I'll give you

A hand.
Thanks, bill, thanks for
saving my a*s.

I appreciate it.
If you had not helped us out, we
would lose two, three days.

Week meet up with you when you
get out here further.
Where are you guys?

56, 18, And 163, 36.
All right.
This is really simple.

Why don't we meet by the 28 and
the 06.
Just put a marker in for 28 and

06.
Roger.
Thank you, bill, talk to you

Soon.
Okay.
Good-bye.

Oh my god, that's awesome,
dude.
That's a great deal for us.

Mr. Wild bill comes up and
replenish the stack.

Here we go!
Narrator: wild llbi's good
deed saves the boys a three day

Round trip allowing them to keep
their head start.
I don't know how the hell you

Leave town without bairdi rings.
Somehow they did it.
As much as I like to say no, I

Am going to spin around, get the
damn rings for josh.
Grab the [bleep] rings and take

Them oit.
They can come find us, we will
give them to him.

If not, tie

Narrator: 200 miles northeast
of dutch harbor, aboard the
northwestern.

It feels like a race against
time.
Narrator: captain sig hanson

Is poised to close out king
season as long as the last
string hits.

We need 10,000 at the most.
Can be done.
Can get lucky.

Then I'll off load, help rig it
for edgar for bairdi.
Narrator: end of king season

Marks the beginning of bairdi.
For little brother and relief
skipper edgar hanson.

Nice to get this done.
You have a lot of bairdi to
catch, you know.

Don't want to be the last ones
to start.
Need a 50 average.

That's what we need.
Nerve wracking.
Suspense is always high.

Oh!
Yeah!
There we are!

How many?
77.
77!

Yes!
Ha ha ha!
Woo!

He got lucky!
Oh yeah!
This string will get this middle

Tank full.
Lot of crab.
Narrator: for the next 14

Hours, sig and the crew haul in
the remaining 25 pots.
Yeah, fishing strings like

That help get us on the bairdi.
Give me more time to catch the
bairdi.

God knows we're going to need
it.
What did you get out of that

Strand?
529 On that strand.
10,625.

That brings the total to
238,000 pounds, netting the crew
$56,000 each.

End the season on a happy
note.
Feeling of accomplishment is the

Biggest thing.
Guys feel like they earned it,
they got it.

There you go.
Oh!
Narrator: on the

Northwestern, the season isn't
officially over until somebody
throws a flaming hook.

You good to flame?
This is one of the better
seasons, why don't you come do

It.
I don't want to jinx the next
season.

Sig sig sig sig sig sig!
Somebody has to steer the
boat.

Got sig to come down, do the
traditional throwing the flaming
hook.

Are you going to fire this
up?
Right now.

All right.
Last pot!
Oh!

One of the best seasons!
Good job!
Yeah!

I want more crab!
That was a good season.
Can I point this thing for town

Now?
We're going in!
Narrator: 60 miles south.

On the cape caution.
Yeah, casey.
Third attempt since daylight,

Before the sun wept down to call
these guys.
I got work to do.

Narrator: captain wild bill
makrowski's bairdi season is
being held up by a good deed and

Bad weather.
Around about 60 miles up the
hill.

Then 84 pots need to be changed
from king crab into bairdi, and
the weather is going to be

[Bleep].
Then we have these rings for
these [bleep] heads.

There's an awesome signal.
Has anybody called for them?
No.

Cornelia, cornelia marie.
Cape caution.
Narrator: 8 miles southeast.

Skipper in training josh harris.
Lot of crab is what we want.
A lot of crab is what we want.

Narrator: is busy fishing.
Bairdi, yeah!
Hey bill, josh here.

Yeah, josh.
Looks to me like you haven't
advanced toward us at all, I am

Not headed the direction I am
needed to go.
What's going on?

Are you ready?
What is your exact
coorditenas now.

You guys told me you were
at -- I have it written down
here.

You know what, this is
getting real thin.
I told you 20 achb 06.

If you plug mine in, we drove at
each other, we would bump
anchors.

I am not going the way I want to
go.
I am not the guy that forgot my

Rings.
I cannot believe you have not
done a damn thing to pick these

Things up.
I apologize 100%.
Apparently I don't know where I

Screwed up on this one man.
You haven't moved an inch.
Narrator: getting reamed by

Wild bill is not fun.
Then go then.
Narrator: getting humiliated

In front of the fleet, that's
hell.
Get it in your pompous head

To come my direction to get
these things.
I don't know if you heard

Wild bill.
You don't want these [bleep]
rings, I am going to turn on the

Course I need to be on.
This is bullshit.
Don't freak out.

I messed up, I apologize.
I will hook up to you wherever
you are at.

I apologize.
Here's the cornelia marie,
four and a half miles above

Where he was.
He continued to do whatever
[bleep] operation he was doing,

Didn't even attempt to come get
this [bleep].
I am one inch from turning this

And running straight opposite of
this pompous [bleep].
The [bleep] world has been

Handed to that little [bleep],
somebody needs to slap him in
the face.

He is either absolutely stupid
or thinks I am

Narrator: 195 miles north of
dutch harbor.
Turn the lights off.

Narrator: on the 110 foot
brenna a.
This has been ten years in

The making.
Definitely some people watching.
Want to see if I make it or

Break it.
Got lots of groups.
Narrator: captain sean dwyer

And his band of misfits approach
the first crab pots in heavy
seas.

Let's not gear in the drink.
Light a fire, get the [bleep]
out of here.

Hey boys, you ready?
I am [bleep] ready.
This is it.

This is the first pot of the
whiskey strike.
Hopefully the christening gave

Us full pots.
Stranger things have happened.
What's going on with that

Pot?
Uh-oh.
What?

That sucks.
Ten years in the making for
that pot.

It really sucks.
Big old gap in the door.
Nobody realized there was a hole

That big.
I guess that's new guys.

That makes me more nervous
than anything.
Come on, bring it up.

Yeah!
Yeah, baby, there's some crab
in there.

Yeah!
That's sweet.
All right, bairdi!

What in the [bleep].
Right .on
woo!

Getting this crab on board,
putting money in the tank.
Oh!

We broke the table.
We need a bigger sorting
table!

Looks like we got some
difications to make to the
sorting table.

This is a great problem to have.
We have crab, bro!
Yeah, we got crab.

[Bleep].
All right.
You're the captain.

We're on the crab.
We made it.
I think we got them.

Numbers?
145.
445.

-- 145.
Take that.
Right here, buddy.

145.
Woo hoo.
It is money, boy.

Now we're going to grind.
Here we go.
We are on it.

Tough crab to catch.
Good number to have.
You are in good.

Hoping they're all like that.
Narrator: 155 miles east.
On the cornelia marie.

I am not going to sit here,
be called an idiot.
He's getting close.

Narrator: after incurring
wild bill's wrath over the
radio.

I cannot believe you haven't
done a [bleep] thing to come
pick these up.

Narrator: josh harris
transfers the retrieving of the
bairdi rings to casey mcmanus.

Still pissed at him.
Josh would rather not deal with
it.

Why the [bleep] do I want to
be in sight of this if he is
going to freak out more.

I can understand what went
wrong, I will let him have his
moment, I will apologize.

That's all I can do.
I already apologized.
Waiting for the transfer to be

Done.
Narrator: on the cape
caution.

This weather is [bleep].
We are running completely in
the ditch instead of taking it

On the bow.
Something we can do with
cornelia marie?

I don't know, I want to be
done with it.
I don't care.

Narrator: building seas and
two day delay to the start of
his bairdi season.

I don't feel like doing
anything ccomical.
Narrator: captain wild bill

Is paying the price for helping.
No good deed goes unpunished.
That pompous [bleep] continued

To fish while we run the rings
to him.
I won't do anything.

Whatever.
I will keep it fresh, you know.
Narrator: the northwestern

Continues to lead the pack while
the young g*ns on the brenna a
look to get in contention.

>We need to make some kind of
note.
Two captains on the boat, bunch

Of deck hands, engineer,
everybody forgot the rings.
So make a little note.

Student driver's license.
Student driver.
I hope the guys on cornelia

Marie have a

Narrator: 140 miles northeast
of dutch harbor.
Cornelia.

You on the tag here?
In position for the ring
toss.

I am good to go.
Narrator: after wasting time
and money waiting on the

Cornelia marie.
Let me know when you're
ready.

Narrator: captain wild bill
makrowski looks to hand off the
rings and get back to fishing.

We are off.
If you want to throw them back.
Keep them as a momento.

Do this transfer like a colon
cleansing to receive the rings.
All right man.

Good luck.
Yeah, same to you, bill,
thank you very much.

I appreciate it.
You got to enjoy the little
things out here.

There they are.
Okay.
Woo!

Good work.
Saving me lots of money in
fuel, day and a half of travel

Time going to dutch.
I greatly appreciate it.
There's rings in it.

Just bring it up here.
[Bleep].
Luckily it all worked out for

Us.
But it was not easy for bill.
When you ask somebody for a

Favor, you try to make it easy
as you canon the one doing the
favor.

I don't know.
[Bleep] very nice thing.
Student id.

Thank you, bill.
I look like a monkey.
That is funny.

Ha ha ha.
I don't care how you are, you
don't do that to somebody that

Helps out.
Whatever.
I did what I said I was going to

Do.
Next time not so much.
I'm done talking about it.

Let's go fishing.
Narrator: 70 miles north on
the time bandit.

Coming right down this line.
Right into where I'm living.
I think we need 170,000

Pounds.
This string hits, this will
help so much.

Narrator: with only a
fraction of his quota on the
boat.

Have these, couple crab an
hour, that will be a godsend.
Narrator: captain johnathan

Hillstrand is counting on a tip
from his friend, keith colburn,
to fill his tanks.

Little weather going on.
I think we're ready to rock
and roll, get back to crabbing.

Game on.
Calling us the keith colburn
set.

My buddy keith.
Narrator: despite 15 foot
seas, 20 knot winds, the captain

Keeps the block turning.
Watch the smackers.
Holy [bleep].

You guys okay?
[Bleep].
Didn't have time to tell

Them.
Narrator: a 20 foot rogue
wave crashes over the starboard

Ramp.
I knew it was coming.
Son of a b*tch, didn't know it

Was coming.
Told you, didn't i.
Atth's the first one on the

Seas.
All got sea kissed.
Yeah!

Are you kidding me?
You got to be kidding me!
You got to be kidding me!

That's money, baby!
Cold, hard cash!
Money!

Definitely.
Yeah, baby!
Come on!

Holy moly!
Yeah, baby!
Woo!

That's some serious crab
fishing going on here.
I want to see some dancing!

Yeah!
This feels good.
This feels real good.

A lot of crab!
Yeah, baby!
Keith.

How's it going?
101.
I am glad.

You actually did well.
You got lucky.
Love you man.

Good luck over there.
Godsend.
Sent from god.

We needed this so bad.
Exciting!
He won't dance.

That don't make you want to
dance?
Just a little bit.

Make him dance!
Make that boy dance!
I think he's dancing now.

Thank you very much.
That made my night.
