[man shouting indistinctly]
[man coughing and retching]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[grunting]
[tense music continues]
[man] Okay, guys,
we're gonna tie up!
Under, under, under!
Hurry up, hurry up!
Just put the [bleep]
camera down!
[tense music playing]
Adak.
Everything is dilapidated.
I mean, you can see
the wrath of Mother Nature.
Since World w*r II,
the presence of military
was all over this island.
The population of Adak
actually hit about
And here we are
so many years later,
and you're down to 27 people
that are residents.
But Adak was basically
the old Dutch Harbor.
I mean, this was the center
of the crab universe
back then.
We're talking millions
and millions of pounds
of crab,
billions of dollars
that went through here.
And then all of a sudden,
out of nowhere, the crab
just disappeared.
They were gone.
Until now.
-There are some fatties!
-[man] Dude!
A whole cod pot
full of king crab!
[Sig] One of these guys
that was out here fishing cod
took a video of a pot
full of red king crab.
It was bycatch.
If you're finding
that kind of crab
in your cod gear,
honey baby,
there's crab out there.
[dramatic music playing]
[men cheering]
[both sigh] And I'm not
gonna be the only one
going after these crab.
They're coming.
But the farther west you go,
it will just eat you alive.
[dramatic music playing]
You've got heavy tides, winds.
-[man] Hang on, honey.
-Oh!
-[man] Come on now.
-[waves crashing]
Get the [bleep] away
from that ground!
[Sig] All in the birthplace
of storms.
[man] Whoa!
-Oh! [bleep]
-[waves crashing]
Oh, are you [bleep] serious?
[Sig] No help.
Ow, that hurts.
That [bleep] hurts.
[Sig] No support.
Mayday, mayday, mayday!
We're off it.
[bleep]
-[man] Hold on.
-[Sig] You're on your own.
-Let's do it!
-[whooping]
-[dramatic music playing]
-[grunts]
[man] Hey. Hey. Hey!
Open your eyes.
Are you with... Hey!
You awake?
Look at me. Hey!
[tense music playing]
[Sig] It's the biggest risk
we've ever taken.
[theme music playing]
[man 1] All set!
[man 2 whoops]
Going fishin', baby!
-[metal clanging]
-[indistinct chatter]
[narrator]
Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
[man] All right.
Okay, let's go!
[indistinct chatter]
'Sup, dawg? Check this out.
[man] It's a cod boat.
Look how many king crab
they got.
[laughs]
I wouldn't wanna
get pinched by that.
[narrator] One week
before the start
of the fall season...
[indistinct chatter]
...a cell phone video
captured near Adak Island
shows the first sign
of red king crab
on the western Aleutians
in a generation.
[Jake] Cod boat video
catching all this king crab
came out,
so we all freaked out,
as you can imagine.
The fishery out there
used to be big.
[narrator] West
of Dutch Harbor,
these remote
and once fruitful grounds
spanned the steep banks
north of Atka and Adak,
all the way to Attu,
covering over
of fishable depths
where Bering Sea
and Pacific currents collide,
creating ten-plus knot tides
and unpredictable,
towering 20-plus-foot seas.
Going out west used to be
the Mecca.
Both my grandpas,
they were putting in
If it's anything
like they saw,
we're gonna hit
the motherlode.
[man] Come on, team! Let's go!
[narrator]
But with a 12.2-million-pound,
$128 million fall quota,
even the most seasoned captain
has no choice but to face
the risks of going west.
[Keith] When you go west,
you're subjected
to even worse weather.
That's the graveyard
of crab boats.
[Jake] So many unknowns
out there.
It's gonna be like nothing
I've ever fished before.
[Rick] That's a lot of fuel.
That's a lot of time.
But it's untapped resource.
High risk, huge reward.
That's where
the big boys play.
[bird screeching]
[narrator] Far west
of Dutch Harbor...
[ominous music playing]
[Johnathan on radio]
Hey, guys, look out for
the port. You can see Adak.
-[tense music playing]
-[waves crashing]
[narrator] Just outside
Adak's Kuluk Bay...
[Johnathan]
It was a key location
in World w*r II.
It was one of the major
refueling stations,
and you can still see
a lot of structures here.
Quonset huts
and bunkers and stuff.
When I was a kid,
I was on a boat out here.
We had a guy
who broke his back
and he was bleeding profusely.
When we got up
to that breakwater over here,
I could see two nuclear subs.
My skipper said, "[bleep] you!
We're coming in. We don't care
what you're saying."
And they said, " [bleep] you!
We'll sh**t you down."
Now, I get to go to Adak.
[laughs]
We are way, way out here.
[narrator] After steaming
of Aleutian chain...
[Johnathan] Sig Hansen
is one of the hardest workers
I know.
Sig's gonna come out with me.
His dad's ferry
fished out here for years,
so we should be able
to learn from that info.
[narrator] Captain
Johnathan Hillstrand arrives
at the former central hub
of the storied
western grounds,
eager to inject new blood
and new intel
at the start
of his fall season.
[Johnathan] Don't tell him,
but I don't even have
a bunk for him.
He's gonna have to sleep
at the table. [laughs]
It is unforgiving out here
in the west.
You know, my dad spent
most of his life out west.
When they closed the fishery,
he still believed
that there was life out here.
You know, if I can find
some crab,
I can prove my dad right,
and we're gonna do it.
That's why I'm starting
the season out here with John.
A little more fuel-efficient,
'cause I'm not gonna bring
the Northwestern all the way
out here on a hunch.
[Johnathan] Hold on!
Look what we got here!
[Sig] Oh, my God.
What have I
gotten myself into?
I'm a Hillstrand. [laughs]
Can't believe you're here.
Sig Hansen, just come around
and I'll meet you
in the galley.
[Sig] So, my old man,
back in the day,
he was out here.
He was favoring a lot of
these 70-fathom curves,
you see that?
Takes us from a needle
in a haystack to, maybe,
a needle in a hay bale.
Obviously, there's
a little more homework to do.
I'm not very good
with homework.
The worst
three years of my life
was the second grade.
[laughs]
I don't wanna do that again.
-[laughing] The worst year...
-[laughing]
Well, I got a guy out here,
Emmitt. He is the chief
engineer at the cannery.
And I mean, this guy
knows everyone out west.
But he said he would do
some digging.
Perfect. Let's get cracking.
You know what you get
when you cross a Hansen
and a Hillstrand?
-[Sig] What?
-One damn handsome man.
[laughing]
[Johnathan] All right,
let's do it.
-[bird screeching]
-[dramatic music playing]
[narrator]
-Oh, my God!
-[all laughing]
[narrator] Aboard
the Northwestern...
Clark, if I hear about
a new truck one more time...
Whoa!
[laughing]
[Mandy] My dad's in Adak
right now.
You know, this boat burns
at least a thousand gallons
a day,
so he needs to confirm
that we'll be able to land
on some good crab
before we head out.
[narrator] Helming
the family vessel
for red crab,
Sig-less for the first time
in her career,
Captain Mandy Hansen
targets the family's
on the traditional grounds.
It's a lot of responsibility,
and it's quite nerve-racking,
so I don't want anything
going sideways.
But, uh...
it's exciting.
The storm's coming in,
so I just wanna make sure
that we're right and tight,
and that we have enough fuel
on board.
Right now, we're coming up
to the fuel dock.
You know, my dad's given me...
Huh.
The Wizard's
still taking fuel.
Unbelievable.
Well, that's not good for us.
[Joe speaking]
Pretty good leak
about every hour and a half.
Picking up five gallons
of water back there, maybe,
something like that.
[Keith] You got
any other bad news?
Bad news leads to work.
[all laughing]
[man] Good. Good.
Grab that hook.
[Keith] The Wizard
was the Highlander
of the fleet 25-30 years ago,
and every year since.
The Wizard hasn't excelled.
The Wizard has destroyed.
But you better have a plan
when you go west.
Grab that hook.
[narrator]
Only 72 hours till departure,
and 46,000 pounds to catch,
veteran Captain Keith Colburn
and his brother, Monte,
prepare for the trip
to the western grounds.
You know,
the most stressful job
in the world
is being the captain
on a Bering Sea crab boat.
[narrator] But their
World w*r II-era ship
isn't the only thing
that's taken a beating.
I have to find a way to go
from here down to here,
because my season in winter
ended with me
on a medevac flight.
-[Keith groans]
-[man] Are you all right?
Are you all right?
He was complaining about
numbness, dizziness.
Ultimately, it was
a mini stroke.
I have to minimize my stress
this year.
I'm not flying out
on a plane again.
[Mandy on radio]
[Keith] Hello,
who's this? Mandy?
[Mandy] Yeah. You know,
we were just coming in here
to take fuel.
I see you're tied up,
but how much longer you got?
[Keith on radio] Right now,
we don't have a rudder.
We're doing an oil change,
and we're gonna be here
a while.
[Clark] He's full of [bleep].
He can't just... He can't just
take up the fuel dock.
So, you're telling me
you can't move right now?
[Keith] Uh, I'm not sure
why you're even here,
because we scheduled this spot
to dock quite a while ago.
[Mandy] Actually,
that's our slot.
What the hell is going on
over there?
[Keith] Well, I'm not gonna
argue over this spot
at the dock.
Get in the back.
I got it. But, you know,
it's a fuel dock,
not a shipyard, so...
You know what,
where's your dad at?
[laughing]
Oh, my God.
[Clark] Uh-oh.
Where's the paint at
on your boat?
Don't take the bait.
Deep breaths.
We don't need the stress.
[Keith] Should have
got here earlier.
Actually, we're right
on time, Keith.
Just move your [bleep] box.
Holy [bleep].
[laughing] Oh, yeah?
-[laughing]
-[Keith] Nobody calls my boat
a piece of [bleep].
Enough of this [bleep].
I'm out. I'm out.
Tell her to [bleep] off!
I'm dead serious. [bleep] it!
[sighs]
[Keith] Hey, Joe.
[Joe speaking]
-[Keith] I gotta go uptown.
-All right, Cap.
-You got the boat.
-I got it. Have fun.
That's pretty rough.
[chuckles]
We're ready to go?
Let's just get the parts.
Let's get this show
on the road.
[Mandy speaking]
[Clark] He's gone.
They're just gonna
leave the boat tied up
in our way.
[tense music playing]
We just don't have time
to wait.
Get the lines, guys,
and the bags.
We're gonna tie up
to the Wizard, starboard side.
[Mandy speaking]
[Mandy on speaker] Get ready
with those lines.
[man 1] Whenever you're ready.
Roll it through!
-[man 2] Okay?
-[man 1] Yeah, back there.
[Mandy] Stern's on!
Are we tied?
[Clark] Yeah, we're all cast.
All right, go untie
the Wizard.
[bleep]
-[man 1] Oh, my!
-[Clark] This is nuts, Mandy.
Come on, guys!
Let's go! Let's go!
Holy [bleep], here we go.
-[bleep]
-[man speaking]
[Clark] Uh-oh.
Oh, we're just doing
a little flip-flop.
[man speaking]
Yeah, we're good.
He said it's all right.
We're just gonna do it.
[man speaking]
[Mandy] We'll be tied up
before he gets him
on the phone.
You aware
that the Northwestern
is moving our boat?
Yeah, they're turning us
around right now.
Let her go!
Got it?
All right, we're good, Mandy.
Yeah, port side.
-He just pull up?
-[Mandy] Yeah.
-[Clark] Is he coming?
-[Mandy] Yeah.
[Jake] Oh, Keith's pissed.
There he goes.
[Clark] He didn't say [bleep].
Can't believe he didn't throw
a fit.
-I don't know if that's worse.
-I don't know if that's worse.
Come in, Mandy.
[bleep]
[Mandy on radio] Yeah,
I'm here.
[sighs]
This is not acceptable,
but I'll leave it at that.
[bleep] idiot.
[Clark] I think
we got away with it.
[exclaiming] Nice!
This isn't over.
[tense music playing]
[Seb] Well, I got
the old man's charts here,
and I was thinking
maybe you could tell me,
or if you knew anything about
where those king crabs were.
Further west
than you wanna go.
-Is that right?
-Oh, yeah.
This is some of the most
dangerous waters
that you could fish.
A lot of guys,
they'll drop gear, wrong tide,
their bags gone
and their gear stuck.
There's a lot of cliffs,
uncharted rocks, reefs,
crazy drops at the ditches
from 20 fathoms
to 2,500 fathoms.
Riptides. Big weather.
But yeah, they would fish
all the way out to the 168.
You're talking
out of Coast Guard
range, practically.
Well, you'll be gone
by the time they get there.
[laughs]
I'm just wondering if you know
where that cod boat
saw those big king crab at.
Well, you know,
when they left Adak
going out towards the straits,
they're catching
some big hogs out there.
There's over 100 miles
of pinnacles that covers
this whole area.
All this bait fish is just
hanging around, halibut
up under the bottom.
And not just fish,
there's some crab,
-it sounds like.
-Yeah.
-[Sig] Those pinnacles
over here?
-Yeah.
Well, that's pretty far.
That's out there.
You scared?
[both laughing]
I don't scare easy, but...
It is the Wild West.
[intriguing music playing]
So, I was talking to Emmitt,
and there's, like,
-you know, out west there.
-[Johnathan] Yeah.
[Sig] But he was suggesting,
hang around pinnacles.
There's one here.
There's one here.
There's one here.
There's 70 fathoms right here.
-See?
-[Sig] That's exactly
what we talked about.
[Johnathan] Right here.
So, that's it right there.
I mean, it sounds like
that's the place to be.
-Emmitt, that cod boat,
and your dad...
-[Sig] Yeah.
[Johnathan] I mean,
X marks the spot.
I wanna go see
if there's life out there.
This could be the pinnacle
of our success.
Pinnacle... To me,
you'll always be my pinnacle.
[both laughing]
Okay, let's do it, buddy.
[tense music playing]
[woman on radio]
[narrator] In Dutch Harbor...
[Clark] It's blowing,
like, 60.
I don't think we're gonna be
heading anywhere today.
I mean, that's, like,
hurricane force winds
right now.
[Monte speaking]
Let's let this storm
blow itself out.
-Take our time.
-Without a doubt.
-[wind blowing]
-[tense music continues]
Oh, [bleep].
It's [bleep] here, man.
[narrator]
On the Titan Explorer...
It's howling through here,
and the wind's so strong
that it's white-capping.
Right now, I'm just trying
to beat the fleet.
This is what it takes
to be first out
to the grounds.
[narrator] With gale force
winds pinning his competition
to the dock,
Captain Jake Anderson readies
to be the first to throw lines
and start the hunt
for his $2 million
king crab bounty,
despite 100 mile
an hour gusts.
[Jake] If we go west,
we've gotta go all in.
So much [bleep] money
I've invested.
If the season goes right,
I wanna buy
the Titan Explorer.
Right now, I'm just keeping
forward momentum.
[wind blowing]
[Mac] Yeah, man.
[Jake] Okay, let it go.
[tense music playing]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is [bleep].
It's blowing me right back.
Each time I try to get back
to, like, get my stern out,
as soon as I turn,
it shoves me to the gangway.
I'm not going nowhere.
We've got 20 feet!
Go, go, go!
I'm gonna smash the gangway.
Whoa!
-[Mac grunts]
-[man] Whoa!
[Mac groans]
[grunts] Back just fell.
I can't do it.
Tie it up,
tie it up, tie it up!
Tie it up!
Tie it up!
[indistinct shouting]
Get back, get back,
Get back, get back!
[bleep]
[bleep] Damn it!
[narrator]
On the Titan Explorer...
[Jake] [bleep] Hey.
[line ringing]
[Chris speaking]
Hey, Chris. Jake Anderson
from the Titan Explorer.
[Jake] I'm getting hammered
over here.
I just wanna get off the dock
without crunching anything.
[Jake] Thanks, Chris.
-[Chris] All right.
-[Jake] All right, bye.
[wind blowing]
Here comes the tug.
We gotta get out.
We gotta get going.
[man] Roger.
This is [bleep] up crazy.
All right, let it go.
Let everything go.
Let it go! Let it go!
[Jake] Watch that side for me.
You see me move forward,
you let me know.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
You're good! You're good!
You're good! You're good!
Come on, baby.
[wind blowing]
-Let it go.
-Let it go! Let it go!
Let it go! Let it go!
-Holy [bleep].
-Yeah, man.
Yeah!
All right, we're clear.
Let's go [bleep]
fishing now! [bleep]
Yeah!
[bleep] yeah,
we left the dock first.
You're [bleep] damn right
we did. No one else [bleep]
copped up to it.
Let's get our gear on
and we'll head to the west.
[soft music playing]
[narrator] In Captains Bay...
[Rick] My family helped build
the king crab industry
out west.
They built an empire
that I get to
continue building.
It kind of brings us
back to our roots.
[narrator] Descended from
Bering Sea pioneer
Lee Shelford,
who forged the western
king crab fishery
north of Adak
in the early '60s,
Captain Rick
shoulders a family legacy
and 90,000 pounds
of red king crab quota,
targeting the hallowed
western grounds.
This could be
the game changer.
But going out west
can be brutal.
You're gonna get
kicked in the teeth,
and you're gonna have to
fight every storm.
This is gonna be a battle.
[narrator] Helping Rick
run his operation...
[Sophia on radio]
All right, guys,
let's get lines ready.
We're gonna do
starboard side tie up.
[man on radio] Yeah.
[narrator]
...fellow Kodiak Islander
Sophia "Bob" Nielsen,
in her first
red king crab season
at the helm.
I'm really ready
to take the next step
and be a co-captain,
and I appreciate that Rick
has given me that opportunity.
My father's advice
was to work
for as many people,
under as many captains
as you can.
So, it's cool.
That's what I'm doing.
I was 13 years old
when he passed.
You know,
even though he's not here
and he's not guiding me,
I'm following
in his footsteps,
step by step.
[Rick] All right,
there she goes.
All right,
let's rock and roll.
[man] Good, good, good.
[Rick] You did
a lot better than I did
the first time
you brought this boat in
then the first time
I brought this boat in.
I would like to hear about it.
-You know--
-[Sophia] That must be why
this boat has
such a wicked paint job
is 'cause you're always
crashing it. [chuckling]
-No comment.
-[laughing]
I will take
the Fifth on that one.
[Sophia chuckling] Okay.
Well, we got about
a three-day run out there,
and you're gonna
make the first set.
So, you'll have
some extra time
to kind of plan out
where you wanna set these.
All right.
I'll do my homework.
Give me a little bit of grace.
Well, there's always
gonna be grace,
but don't [bleep] this up.
[chuckles softly] No pressure.
-[Sophia chuckling]
-[seagulls screeching]
[wind blowing]
[water splashes]
[Johnathan] This church here
stood on its own
for almost five decades.
If you cough too hard,
it'd fall down.
It's living on a prayer.
[chuckling]
That's sort of like me.
I'm still here, too.
I've been fishing
for 42 seasons
and I usually
don't get nervous,
but this year, it just feels
a little bit different.
[grunts]
Dear God,
as we come into this 2024
red crab season,
you know, having health
right next to each other
on the water...
[waves crashing]
...but God bless our fleet
and our families.
We are far from home,
but close to you.
[Keith] Eternal father,
strong to save,
whose arm has bound
the restless wave.
[Mandy] Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in heaven.
[Rick] Oh, hear us
when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
[screeching]
[Keith] Give us the vision
to watch out for each other...
[Mandy] Give us today
our daily bread.
...the courage
to fear nothing.
-Give thanks and honor.
-[Mandy] And forgive
our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And keep us humble
in our victories.
-[Keith] Keep us safe.
-[Mandy] Deliver us from evil.
Bring the crews
of the Bering Sea home.
[Mandy] For thine
is the kingdom,
the power and glory...
-[waves crashing]
-...forever and ever.
-Amen.
-Amen.
-Amen.
-[Johnathan] The Lord's name.
Amen.
[grunts]
I think we got
that covered, God.
[Mandy] Get ready
to toss lines.
-[Rick] Rock and roll, boys.
Let's get this done.
-One, two, three. Wizard!
Last night,
I had really creepy dreams.
Like these blonde
vampire Norwegians,
like, trying to attack me.
I know for a fact
that Johnathan has Sig
on board with him.
There's crab out west,
and I know it,
'cause if there's nothing,
Sig Hansen
wouldn't be out west.
[motors whirring]
[Rick] Being able to go out
and fish on the grounds
that my family did
so many decades ago,
it's an exciting time.
-Ready, Bob?
-[Sophia]
Ready as I'll ever be.
-Let's do it.
-[motors whirring]
We're gonna start
right over here
on the traditional grounds,
but if Sig gives the word,
-we'll head west.
-All right.
-[Sig] We all good?
-[Johnathan] Yep.
Between Emmitt
and that cod boat
and your dad,
we got the treasure map out.
X marks the spot.
[chuckling]
Let's cut it loose.
[men shouting, cheering]
[man shouting] Come and get
those big boys!
[motor roars, whirs]
[Sig] Well, if this works,
this could be something
that the Hansen family
could be really proud of.
[Johnathan] Listen to me,
young man.
-You're a Hillstrand today.
-[chuckles]
When you're on this boat
you're a Hillstrand.
[Sig] The Hanstrands,
that's what we are.
-[Johnathan] Hanstrands.
-[Sig chuckling]
-[Sig] Hanstrands.
-[laughing]
[Johnathan] Don't [bleep]
with the Hanstrands.
-[Sig laughing]
-Don't do it.
[man 1] King crab.
[man 2] Oh, yeah!
[man 1] Yeah, buddy.
[Mandy] Come on, Carl.
Move it.
Better not see Keith
out there.
You can see where
the Time Bandit's far west?
So, Wizard, going west.
[grunts]
[motor screeches]
Maybe the world's flat.
[chuckles]
Maybe we'll go off the edge.
Who knows?
[motor whirring]
-[man 1] Let's go
catch some crab.
-[man 2] Let's get it.
-[man 3] We're good.
-[rope thuds]
[Rick] All we got is about
and a buttload
of red king crab to catch.
[man 1] Let's go!
-[man 2] Yeah, baby! Yeah!
-[men shouting, cheering]
-[man 3] Whoo-hoo!
-[man 4] Yeah, buddy!
-[man 5] Let's go!
King crab 2024.
-[man 3] Whoo!
[water bubbling, crashing]
[narrator] 220 miles
northeast of Dutch Harbor...
[Clark speaking on radio]
You got a salmon filet?
Oh. Super special.
[Clark on radio]
[waves crashing]
[narrator]
Aboard the Northwestern...
[waves crashing]
Hook her up. Change is coming.
[man on radio] Copy that.
[narrator] ...with Captain Sig
on a clandestine
scouting mission
in the unproven far west,
Captain Mandy prepares
a 60-pot prospect set
on the more recently fished
-eastern red king grounds.
-[microwave pings]
[waves crashing]
-[Clark] Oh,
and in a nice little bowl!
-[Mandy] Whoo!
-Like sushi.
-[Mandy] Yeah.
That is some sushi.
Is there one for everyone?
-[Clark] We're doing sushi now
in the Northwestern.
-All right.
-Skal!
-[Clark] Skal.
-Let's do it. [chuckling]
-[man] Skal.
All right, let's go!
[all] Whoo!
-[Clark] Eat it!
-[Mandy spits]
You changed it up.
You gotta eat the whole thing.
Oh, it's not that bad.
It's not that bad.
It's not good, either.
-[man retches]
-[Mandy spits]
-[bleep]
-[laughing]
That better be good luck.
Let's go.
-All right, let's get ready
to fire 'em up.
-Roger.
[grunts]
It was actually kind of good.
Dad's out west right now.
This is my first time
setting completely on my own
for king crab opener.
So here's the 53 Fathom Hole.
This is one of my dad's
super-secret spots
on his traditional grounds,
and we're gonna see
how it does.
All right, let's go, guys.
King Crab 2024.
-Going over.
-[pot crashes]
[narrator] 160 miles away...
[man] Hurry up! Hurry up!
[narrator] ...on the western
crab grounds...
-[waves crashing]
-[man] Okay, okay, okay!
[waves crashing]
[men shouting indistinctly]
[waves crashing]
Here we go.
Start of king crab 2024.
-[man 1 on radio] Coming.
-[man 2] Whoo-hoo!
[man 3] Going over.
[men shouting, cheering]
[man] Whoo-hoo!
So, we're first out
to the king crab grounds.
[pot clattering]
There's a lot of money
out there,
but I still have to find it.
For a guy who doesn't gamble,
I'm all in now.
-[pot clatters]
-[man 1] Whoo!
[man 2] Yeah!
[men] Yeah!
[narrator] 30 miles east
and closing
on the Time Bandit...
Ooh, we're gonna set.
-[men] Yeah!
-[waves crashing]
-[man shouts] Yeah!
-Yeah!
[Sig] We're coming up
on the pinnacle.
[Johnathan] 70 fathoms.
Well, I mean,
that was the magic number,
as far as my old man
was concerned,
is 70 fathoms right there.
In theory, Sverre...
-[Sig] Sverre's theory.
-A Sverre theory.
-It's not a conspiracy theory.
It's a Sverre theory.
-[Sig chuckling]
[Johnathan on radio]
First pot.
-[man 1] Yeah! Yeah!
-[man 2] Yeah!
[waves crashing]
[Rick] This spot is very known
for bouncing
all over the place.
Strong currents.
Really big, steep waves.
Are you sure?
[Sophia] I'm ready.
I kind of wanna do like an X
and we'll, you know,
check all sorts of
different depths.
[pot clatters]
My brothers got to fish
with my dad,
and what they've passed
on to me, you know,
is we need to cover
as much ground as we can
to figure out where they are.
Yeah. Sling 'em up. Let's go.
-Uh-huh.
-[Rick] Ready.
-Let's get 'em wet.
-[laughing]
[on radio]
Red king crab season,
here we go.
[man] Whoo! Yeah, baby.
[Sophia] Splash.
[seagulls screeching]
[Sig] All right,
here goes nothing.
[waves crashing]
[man] Captain on deck!
-[Sig] Come on!
-[cheering]
[men cheering]
[Johnathan on PA]
[men shouting, cheering]
We gotta give him a Mohawk.
-No! No!
-[Johnathan on PA]
You gotta have a Mohawk, Sig.
-It's part of the deal.
Mohawk.
-[men cheering]
You know what
I paid for that stuff?
Oh, we're just kidding. Okay.
-[men laughing]
-Come on!
Freddy, get the cod.
[man] All right, you guys.
Time Bandit style.
The codfish for the new guy.
[Freddy] I'm gonna show you.
[man] Yeah!
Show us how to do it.
Everybody on this boat
does this.
[Freddy] Time Bandit style.
He's still moving!
-[man exclaims]
-Oh, [bleep].
-[man] Yeah, baby!
-[men exclaiming]
[Johnathan on PA]
It's not fine.
That's disgusting.
They got parasites and worms.
I wouldn't
drink cod blood, but...
You gotta drink
that cod blood.
-[man 1 laughs]
-[Sig retches]
[Johnathan on PA]
[men cheering]
Oh, my God. [chuckling]
He's doing it.
-[exclaiming]
-[men shouting indistinctly]
[laughing]
[men exclaiming]
[men shouting, cheering]
[exclaims]
-[Johnathan on PA]
-[laughing]
-[laughing]
-[Sig retches]
[Freddy]
Time Bandit style, baby.
The Hanstrands
don't [bleep] around.
I like that tradition.
It's messy, tastes like blood,
but if it brings good luck,
it's worth it.
[waves crashing]
[Johnathan] No one's
been out here for 42 years.
I'm way west,
as far as we can legally go.
It was a risk,
but hopefully it pays off.
[Sig grunts]
-I can't believe you did that.
That was great.
-Love it.
You know
we don't really do that.
[both laughing]
That was beautiful.
Keep setting, guys.
[man] Roger.
[Johnathan on PA]
Nice and steady.
-[man 1] Going over.
-[man 2 exclaims]
-[man 3] Whoo!
-[man 4] We're going
fishing, baby!
[men exclaiming]
[Johnathan]
Are you kidding me?
You see that?
We got a bogey.
It's a big black boat.
White wheelhouse.
That's the Wizard.
-[Sig] It is Keith.
-[Johnathan] It's Keith.
How the hell would he know
we're out here?
[man] Going over.
[water splashes]
Really, dude,
where'd you come from?
[seagulls screeching]
[Keith] Is that Hansen?
[Johnathan on radio]
He's with me.
[Sig laughing on radio]
I hate that [bleep] giggle.
[Keith on radio]
Knucklehead?
[Sig] We have worked too hard
for this spot.
[exhales] Ai-yi-yi-yi.
[seagulls screeching]
I'm not backing down.
-Keep setting, guys.
-Yeah!
[man] Roger.
-[Sig] Yeah!
-[Johnathan speaking]
[motor whirring]
Giddy up. Whoo-hoo.
[man 1] Going over.
[man 2] Yeah, baby.
[waves crashing]
[Sig speaking]
[Keith] If they think
they're gonna cut me off...
They are wrong.
[hisses]
[motor whirring]
[waves crashing]
[Keith on PA] Hey, guys,
get 'em in here fast.
-[grunts]
-[man] Roger that.
We've got company.
They fooling
with the wrong boat.
Back in Louisiana,
there's only one thing to do
when you've got
a snake in the garden.
[man] Going over.
[Joe speaking]
[Johnathan speaking on PA]
-Just choke 'em out.
-My guys are
getting 'em over, dude.
-[man shouts]
-[water splashes]
[Keith] Oh, my God.
I'm going straight at him.
[Keith speaking]
I've got
the right of way, John.
You have to back down.
[Johnathan on radio]
Negative. We're setting.
Heave-h*. Get out of our way.
-I'm just gonna turn... Okay.
-Get 'em in the water
right now.
I'm not turning.
I'm not turning.
[Keith on radio]
Johnathan, pull back!
[Johnathan] We're not
backing down.
-[bleep] This guy's
a [bleep] idiot.
-[man] Yeah, baby.
[waves crashing]
-[Sig laughing]
-[Johnathan] Stand by.
-[laughing]
-It's a survival, sir.
[waves crashing]
[Keith] These guys
might hit us.
[bleep] idiots!
[waves crashing]
[Sig] Oh, my God.
I gotta turn.
I'm turning. I'm turning.
I'm turning.
[motor whirring]
[Keith] He ain't
gonna make it.
[bleep] idiot!
[metallic rumbling]
[Johnathan] Son of a b*tch!
[exhales]
[grunting]
Enjoy that walk of shame.
[laughing on radio]
[Sig] Keith's gonna get
part of our crab.
[water splashing]
We earned it, though.
He didn't really earn it.
-You know?
-[chuckling]
Why not just go east
on that pinnacle over there?
-Just head east.
-Okay.
-Try it on
the other side, maybe.
-[Johnathan] Yeah.
I mean, it could be
worth a shot.
[seagulls screeching]
Somehow, Keith figured out
where we're going.
This is a long w*r.
This is the first battle.
We have not yet
begun the fight.
[seagulls screeching]
[wind blowing]
[water rushing]
[seagulls screeching]
[Jake] I came out to the west
for one reason
and one reason only,
to get rich enough
so I could buy the Titan.
[seagulls screeching]
I don't know
if it's gonna pay off.
[seagulls screeching]
[waves crashing]
[Johnathan]
I'll just let you...
I'll just let you take over.
You know what you're doing.
-[grunts] All right. Let's see
what you got. [grunts]
-[laughing]
-[waves crashing]
-[metallic rumbling]
[Sig] I don't feel normal!
[Johnathan]
But you can see your guys
and keep them safer.
-[Sig] Where do you
put your knees?
-If you don't move it,
it's gonna stay
right wherever you put it.
-Where do you put your knees?
-You gotta put it...
-You gotta go portside.
-How do you sit like this?
Go to the port.
You're going in a circle.
-I'm... [stammers]
-[laughing]
-I'm used to putting
my feet on a bench here.
-[laughing] I know. I know.
[both laughing]
Right ahead of you.
[Freddy] There it is.
Let's go, baby.
[Johnathan] Just go straight.
You got this.
[snickering]
[Johnathan chuckling]
[Johnathan on PA]
First pot of the season.
Whoo-hoo!
[man] Whoo!
We're going fishing, baby!
-[Keith] All right, guys.
-[water splashes]
-[waves crashing]
-[man 1] Pull 'em in.
-[man 2] Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
-[man 3] All right!
-[Keith] Let's go get 'em.
-[man] Yeah, roger!
We don't wanna see the girls
and the little guys.
We wanna see the big boys.
One, two, three...
[all] Wizard!
-[man 1] All right.
-[man 2] Let's do this!
-[man 1] All right.
We got this.
-[man 2] Wizard, baby!
-[man 3] Whoo-hoo!
-[man 4] Here we go.
[waves crashing]
All right, guys.
Let's get ready to rock.
-[man on radio] Roger!
-[waves crashing]
[Sophia] First king crab pot
of 2024.
[chuckling]
This is not on any chart.
[Sophia] We gotta get a scent,
and then we can start
dumping pots
wherever they're at.
-[man shouts indistinctly]
-[waves crashing]
[metallic creaking]
All right, guys, here we go.
[man] Let's go,
let's go, let's go!
[seagulls screeching]
[Rick on PA] First pot.
-[air whooshes]
-[man yells]
[Jake] There might be
a bunch of monster crab
out here.
-[man] Make way!
-[men shouting indistinctly]
[Keith] If there's crab
in the neighborhood,
there will be crab
in these pots.
[man] Long time.
[Sophia on PA]
All right, boys,
first pot coming up.
-[men cheering]
-[man] Yeah!
[Johnathan] I'm looking for
a monster paycheck.
[man] King crab 2024!
[Jake] Here we go.
-Come on. Drum roll, please.
Drum roll, please.
-Just give us more...
-[motor whirring]
-[Freddy] Come and get
those big boys.
Yeah! Come on,
come on, come on!
[Sophia] I'm hopeful,
you know, I'm excited.
[Rick] It's all
a gamble right now.
Nobody's been out here
in ages.
[Keith] I mean, we just need
to find something.
[man] Give us some crab, baby.
[man exclaiming on radio]
[seagulls screeching]
All right, here it comes.
Come on.
-[man 1] Get some crab in!
-[man 2] Coming up.
[motor whirring]
[man] What have we got?
What have we got?
[waves crashing]
[men cheering]
-[men cheering]
-[man] Thank you, Jake!
-[man 2] Thank you, Jake.
-[man 3] Thank you, Jake!
[Jake on PA] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
[man] Whoo!
You gotta see this pot, dude.
-[pot clatters]
-There's so much
[bleep] crab in it.
[man] Come on, baby.
Come to papa.
[motor whirring]
-[man] Yeah!
-[Rick] Oh, yeah. Come to me.
Oh, yeah! Boom!
-[man exclaims]
-[Rick] Whoo!
[Sophia] Whoo!
-[crabs clattering]

[men shouting, cheering]
[Rick on PA]
Grab that crab now.
Get 'em. Get 'em.
[man] Yeah!
[men cheering]
[crabs clattering]
[Keith] Holy crap, man.
Wow. Wow.
Whoo!
[grunting]
[Rick] That's a good
first pot.
-[Sophia] Loaded!
-That's what
we're looking for.
[man] Whoo!
[Rick] There's been
over 100 years straight
of having a Shelford
fishing in Alaska.
Hey!
Dang, those are nice big crab.
There's no other job
I would want.
-[man] Whoo-hoo!
-[men chuckling]
[man speaking on radio]
[Jake] That pot
was worth 38 times.
We'll call it seven...
That's a $5,000 pot.
The kind of money
that buys you a boat.
[man] Yeah!
Here we go!
[water splashes]
[metallic rumbling]
-[man] Come on, baby.
-[men exclaiming]
-[Johnathan] This is it.
-[Sig] Come on, baby.
-This is it.
-Come on.
-Pull.
-[bleep]
[Sig exclaims on radio]
[Johnathan] Oh, man.
[pot clattering]
-Aw, that's blank.
-[Sig] Man!
[Johnathan] Ai-yi-yi-yi.
-[metallic whirring]
-[pot clattering]
[Sig] I mean, the Wizard
forced us off our spot,
but we'll go haul another one.
-We'll be okay here.
-[Johnathan] Yeah, we will.
[motor whirring]
[water splashes]
-[pot clatters]
-[man 1] There we go.
[man 2] Yeah.
[pot clatters]
Ooo. Ai-yi-yi.
Okay. But it's got crab in it.
I mean, there's crab.
There's a couple of crab.
[man] There's some crab.
[Johnathan] We're okay.
We're gonna be okay.
[motor whirring]
[man] Yeah, baby.
[men shouting indistinctly]
[Sig] They're coming.
It's getting better
farther over we go.
You see it?
[man] Big ones!
[Freddy] Hell, yeah.
[Johnathan] I'm liking that.
We're just getting
closer to Keith.
-That's the problem.
-I know. [bleep].
We gotta get
back in there, then, Sig.
We worked for this spot.
It's our spot.
[waves crashing]
[men cheering]
[crabs clattering]
[men cheering]
[Keith on PA] This is what
a full box of crab looks like
for king crab.
-[man 1] Yeah!
-[man 2] All right.
[Keith] Yeah, you don't see
this kind of fishing
very often.
-[man 1] They're big.
-[man 2] Whoo-whoo!
The fishing is staggering,
how good it is.
Revenge is sweet.
[narrator] 170 miles east
on the traditional grounds...
[seagulls screeching]
[man 1] Moment of truth.
[man 2] Oh, no!
[man 1] Damn it!
Oh, [bleep].
[Mandy groans]
That does not look good.
This string is terrible.
-[man] We got one.
-[man 2 mimics buzzer]
[cell phone ringing]
[Mandy] Hey.
[Sig on phone] How's it going?
Uh...
[men groaning]
[man] Not too sexy.
[Mandy] Could have
gone better.
[Sig laughing on phone]
[seagulls screeching]
[Sig] All right, well,
we got a Colburn problem,
believe it or not.
[Mandy speaking on phone]
Yeah. Keith tracked us
out here.
[Mandy] A Keith problem?
I know how to solve those.
-[laughs, claps]
-[Sig] Yep. So...
[on phone] ...you need to get
your gear onboard
and get that thing
heading west right now.
[Johnathan on phone]
Hey, yeah, we need you.
All right, that's awesome.
I can't wait.
-[man 1] Oh, man.
-[man 2] That's a goose egg.
Stack 'em on.
We're gonna go help Dad
solve a little Keith problem.
-[man 1] Roger.
-[man 2] Yeah, baby.
-[man 3]
-[man 4] Yeah, buddy.
[seagulls screeching]
Sigurd is a mythical
dragon slayer in Norway.
-[laughing]
-Gonna [bleep] you up
for doing this, Colburn.
-[laughing]
-[slapping]
[Sig] Let's go
slay some dragons.
[seagulls screeching]
[waves crashing]
[narrator] 60 miles west...
-[waves crashing]
-[metallic creaking]
[Rick] It's just
a matter of time here.
[waves crashing]
Waves coming
from multiple angles,
they hit each other
and they stack up
like monsters.
[waves crashing]
[narrator]
...aboard the Aleutian Lady...
But I got too much
quota to catch...
[metallic creaking]
...to slow down
and not try to fish.
So, I just gotta keep moving.
[metallic rumbling, creaking]
All right, guys. Come on up.
[man] Roger.
[waves crashing]
Watch the rail.
Watch the rail.
-[waves crashing]
-[men exclaiming]
[Rick] It's ripping.
-[exhales]
-[man] Heads up!
[waves crashing]
[man exclaims]
-[metallic rumbling]
-[man] Whoa.
[waves crashing]
[Steve] Pretty wild,
just [bleep] everywhere.
Good crab, though,
so we're not complaining.
Crab count, 49.
Four-nine.
[waves crashing]
We got a wave coming over here
on the port side.
Hey, guys,
keep an eye on the port side.
[Rick on PA] Watch the rail.
-[metallic creaking]
-[waves crashing]
[man] Watch out!
[pot clattering]
Holy...
-[waves crashing]
-[man exclaims]
[Sophia]
That's a little nautical.
Just a wee bit.
-[waves crashing]
-[men exclaiming]
[man 1] Come on, crab.
Come on, crab.
-[man 2] Yeah, baby!
-[man 3] Whoo!
You've got big waves
coming from all directions.
You're trying
to keep the guys safe.
You're trying
to haul up on your bag.
[crabs clattering]
[man speaking on radio]
Whoo!
[waves crashing]
Good crab numbers.
Makes it
a little bit worth it.
[waves crashing]
[man exclaims]
[waves crashing]
All right, so, we...
One, two, three, four, five.
Where did we end up?
All right.
[waves crashing]
Wave, wave, wave, wave!
Oh, [bleep].
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
-[motor whirring]
-Come on! Come on! Go! Go!
[metallic creaking]
[man] Look out!
[groans]
Whoo!
Holy cow!
Holy [bleep]!
Everybody okay out there?
[man 2] Oh, [bleep], man!
Hey, you guys all right?
[man 3 speaking]
What the hell?
[man 3 speaking]
Whew!
[Rick]
That was a big roll.
Whoa.
That was a real big roll.
The starboard rail
was dipping and taking water.
Your camera [bleep]
is everywhere, Randy.
Oh, my gosh!
We need to fix that.
Go check downstairs.
I'll bet
[bleep] is everywhere.
Bob's got to go down there
and lock everything down.
Oh, [bleep].
No!
We got to keep haulin' here
and get as much poundage
on board this boat
as quick as we can.
[notification chirps]
Aw, [bleep].
[over PA] Hey, Nico, you want
to go check the bilge?
I got an alarm going off.
[Nico] Roger.
[Rick over PA]
Watch your portside.
[man] Uh-oh.
[man 2] Watch out!
[men exclaiming]
[man 3] Whoo-hoo!
Everything in the galley
went flying.
The drawers in the boys' room
are all open.
The literal
water in the toilet
came flying out of the toilet
and it's on the ground now.
[Nico groans]
Holy [bleep], dude!
Are you all right?
Here, here. Come sit down.
Hey. Okay.
Oh, my God. You got a pretty
good gash right there.
Apply pressure to that.
I'm gonna get Rick.
Rick, I need you down here
right now!
[Rick over PA] Hey, Noah,
I need you on wheel watch.
Roger.
Keep it out of the ditch.
Rog!
[Bob] Let me see it.
Oh, [bleep]!
[Bob] Rick, I need you
down here right now!
[narrator]
On the Aleutian Lady...
[bleep]
[Bob] Let me see it.
Ooh, [bleep]!
[Rick] What happened?
[Rick] Let's see it.
That is a good gash.
Yeah.
[Rick] We're gonna
need at least three stitches.
Let's get your rain gear off.
Got to keep pressure.
I got this, man.
[Nico] Okay.
[Rick] All right.
Let me get some...
-water to get this clean.
-[Noah] All right,
let's get that in.
[Rick] Hang on.
Tilt your head back.
[Nico groans]
[Rick] That is a lot of blood.
[Bob] Ooh.
[Rick] Are you feeling
kind of queasy at all?
[Noah] Watch out, guys.
[groans]
That went right down my neck.
[man] Yeehaw!
[Rick] All right.
I can finally get
these stitches in here.
Here's the suture kit.
Put two cc's of lidocaine
in that needle.
-Sure.
-Okay.
[Rick] So, Nico,
these needles are not small.
The boat's rolling still.
So I need you to try
to hold yourself still.
All right?
I don't want to hit any nerve
and paralyze your face.
All right.
[Nico groaning]
This boat's definitely not
the ideal operating room,
especially in weather
like this.
[Rick] Is it numbing up?
You feel that?
No.
All right. We're good.
All right,
so here comes the fun part.
[Bob] Dr. Rick
stitching you up.
[Rick] All right,
let's get her done, man.
Hold still.
Jeez!
Noah, get us out
of the damn ditch!
Hang on. I'm gonna
lock my knee in right here.
[Nico] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Rick] All right.
[groans]
[Rick] Okay, there,
it's finally through.
-[Nico] Oh, my God.
-All right,
first one is through.
I'm pulling the thread.
Ooh, that makes me queasy.
[Nico] Dude, seriously.
[Rick] All right, number two.
You ready?
Chicks dig scars, Nico.
You are pretty
accident-prone, though.
[Nico] I know this.
-Jesus!
-[Rick] All right.
Number two is done.
[Bob] For hammer hands...
he's actually
doing pretty good.
[Rick] The last one, Nico.
[Nico] Yeah, yeah, okay.
[Rick exhales]
[Nico groans]
[Nico yelps]
Ow, come on.
[Rick] Sorry, dude.
Tying up the last one.
You're a bit swollen
around the wound,
which, it's gonna swell.
We'll end up
putting some ice on it.
Let's-- we'll
put a bandage on it.
It does feel a little tight.
Well, yeah,
it's gonna feel tight.
You split it open.
Take it easy. Go
take these couple hours off,
and we'll start jamming here
in a bit, all right?
All right, dude,
take her easy.
The good news is...
Bob picked a good area.
If these crab continue,
I mean,
this will be game-changing.
[man] What do we got?
What do we got?
[narrator]
[crew cheering]
[Jake over PA]
Yeah! Look at that thing!
[narrator]
...aboard the Titan Explorer.
That's money
right there, baby.
[crew cheering]
Still good.
Still good.
-[man] Whoo!
-[man 2] Whoo!
[man 3] Money, money,
money, money!
[man 4] Hell yeah!
Yeah, we got 69
on that last pot there.
Really nice crab.
Really nice crab.
[loud thud]
What the [bleep] was that?
What the [bleep] was that?
[crew member speaking]
[Jake over PA]
I got it!
That was [bleep] loud.
[Jake] Yeah.
Check the forepeak.
[Rolando coughing]
[groans]
[gagging]
[Jake over PA]
[coughing]
[man] Yeah, roger!
[bleep]
If that ammonia
catches one spark,
we're done.
[narrator] Contained in
liquid anhydrous ammonia
is a refrigerant
used to freeze fish
during the summer
tendering season.
[Jake sniffs] Oh, God!
I smell it.
[narrator] If a leak occurs,
noxious and flammable
ammonia vapors can spread,
and, if ignited, explode.
[Ronaldo coughing]
[Felipe speaking]
[exclaims] Oh.
Ugh!
[crew member speaking]
[Jake] Stay the [bleep]
back, Samuel.
[bleep]
Go! Go! Go, go, go, go!
Go, go, go!
[bleep]
[Jake coughing]
[groaning]
[gagging]
Oh, [bleep]!
[alarm blaring]
[Jake] Go, go, go!
[coughing]
Come on!
[Jake coughing violently]
All right, guys.
[coughing]
There's 600 pounds...
that's blasting through
our boat.
I've sealed off all
the compartments that I could,
But there's still
one void door that's open
up in the reefer room.
[man speaking]
[Jake] No. No.
Go downstairs
and secure the deck.
-Okay?
-[man 2] Yup.
[Jake] No cigarettes!
-Yup.
-[man 1] Roger.
[all coughing]
[Jake] Ugh.
At least we've
got battery power.
I've turned off my
main engines and my generator
to prevent a fire happening.
It's just gonna
be a waiting game now.
[sniffles] Oh, [bleep].
[spits]
[coughing] There's...
[narrator] 40 miles north...
[Monte over PA]
Okay, comin' at ya!
-[woman] Woot, woot! Oh!
-[man] Oh, my gosh!
[Monte over PA]
Wow!
[narrator] ...on the Wizard...
[Monte] This is awesome.
This is exactly what we were
hoping to see coming out here.
[man] All right!
Now we're fishin'!
Ah, yeah, man.
It's beautiful.
They're big! Whoo!
[man 2] Whoo!
[man 3 speaking]
-[Monte over PA] Okay.
-[woman] 86?
[crew cheering]
[Sig on radio]
Wizard, Time Bandit.
[Monte] Ah, [bleep].
Keith, you on there?
Time Bandit.
[Monte] Coming up behind us?
Ya rat b*stard!
Wizard, Time Bandit.
[John] I'm coming to get you.
[laughs mischievously]
I got you fine.
[Sig on radio]
We're taking this area.
So if I was you,
I would leave peacefully.
Yeah. Hey, bro,
you better come on out here.
It's important.
[Sig over radio] Copy, Mandy?
If you come in
on the starboard side,
we'll come in on the port.
[Mandy over radio] Okay.
[Sig] I think if we can
go in at diagonal,
[Mandy] All right.
Let's go get him.
Hop in.
[Sig] All right,
once we start passing 'em,
we're gonna
start dumping gear.
[Clark] All right. Copy that.
Approaching from
the starboard side.
Crisscross, baby.
[Keith speaking]
Well, we were happy and alone,
but now...
that's Sig.
He wants round two?
All right, let's give him
round two, Mouse.
Let me get in there.
All right.
They want to play some
[bleep] games,
let's play some [bleep] games.
[Sig over radio] All right,
get ready to attack.
[John laughs impishly]
Yeah, yeah!
[Clark] All right, roger.
I'll get up ahead of you.
[Keith] Apparently
interested in our hot spot.
God, how childish and stupid
are these guys?
You know what "Colburn" means?
The old Greek meaning,
"The cattle are all dying.
We can't grow potatoes."
That's the Colburn,
"unfertile ground."
"Unfertile ground"!
[both laughing]
[Clark] Right now?
[Sig on radio] Okay.
[Mandy] Okay,
Time Bandit's crossing.
[Clark] Yep, going over.
[Keith] [bleep]. Mouse.
[bleep]
Are you kidding me?
You can't just cut right in
front of me like this, guys.
[Sig] Get 'em in the water.
[crew member on radio] Yeah.
Go ahead and set, guys.
[deckhand] Goin' over!
[crew cackling and cheering]
[Mandy] Yeah. Drop the pot.
-All right, set the pot.
Now, now, now!
-Get it now.
[Clark over radio] Set it.
[deckhand] Let 'er go!
[deckhand 2 cheering]
Okay, Oj, just
start firing at will, okay?
As fast as you get it ready,
dump it.
[Oj] All right. Open up!
Dump it!
Go, go, go!
The bag! Get the bags.
[Mandy] Set another one.
Go.
[deckhand cheering]
Whoo! Yeah!
[deck boss]
Okay, throw it over.
[deckhand] Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Do not cross
in front of me right now!
I'm doing 7 knots,
you idiots!
-[deckhand] Whoo!
-[John over PA] Yeah, baby!
[Sig] While I'm in Adak here,
I want to go check out
a place called Finger Bay.
The w*r in the '40s,
our military
was stationed here.
All the docks were along here.
This is actually
a submarine net,
World w*r II,
and that was
draped across the bay
to stop any submarines
from coming in.
After the military left,
fishermen were using
all this area.
And what blows my mind
is, my father,
he filled his boat up
right outside here.
It really makes me wish
I could have been here
with him at the time.
But I miss him a lot.
[Keith]
These guys are [bleep] cutting
right off my bow as we speak.
He's coming across one way
and Northwestern's
going the other.
[Clark] John will come back
the other way.
We'll be at 0, 3.5. 0, 3.5.
[John over radio] Okay.
[deckhand] Goin' over!
I'd love to see the look
on Keith's face right now.
[Keith] I can't even maneuver!
[John over radio]
Comin' around.
Attack!
[crew cheering]
-[deckhand] Yeah, baby!
-[deckhand 2] Goin' over!
[deckhand 3] Whoo!
[John] We're packing 'em in
like sardines.
[Keith]
They're crossing again.
[sighs] [bleep]
I-- [exhales]
You guys,
you're not gonna
push me off the water.
There's no "uhn tiss uhn tiss
uhn tiss" going on there.
-No.
-[laughs]
He's pissed.
[deckhand over radio]
Goin' over!
A lot goin' over!
-[deckhand] Goin' over!
-[deckhand 2] Goin' over!
-Whoo!
-Here we go!
-Yeah!
-Goin' over!
-Yeah!
-[all laughing]
[Keith] What do I do?
We're gonna get one
of their pots in the wheel
with these guys doing this.
[deck boss] Come on, baby.
Keep it coming!
[man] Okay, boys!
Whoo!
[man 2] Let's go!
[exhales]
[bleep]. Yeah.
I'm peeling off, okay?
I'm getting
away from these guys.
[Mandy] Oh, no. Look at that.
He's turning.
He's leaving.
[deck boss] Oh-h*-h*-h*, yeah!
[deckhand heckling]
[crew laughing]
[heckling continues]
[John laughs] Yeah!
Who's your daddies?
-Who's your daddies?
-[Sig laughing]
[Sig over radio] So that's
what your stern looks like.
[Sig and John laughing
over radio]
[John] Don't let
the door hit you in the a*s
on the way out.
[mocking laughter continues]
[sighs]
You all right?
I'm okay, Mouse.
You know.
That's the problem
with these guys.
They just-- they don't get it.
[Sig] Nice job.
So we'll take
the eastern half of this,
you take the western,
and we'll divvy it up. Okay?
Yep. We'll start setting.
[John] What a great day
on the water.
Victory.
Stay humble in our victories.
[Sig laughs]
[narrator] 40 miles south...
[crew coughing and chattering]
[narrator] ...aboard
the Titan Explorer...
[Jake] I got 600 pounds
of liquid ammonia
bleeding through
the entire boat.
My main engines are off.
My generators are off.
And my pumps aren't working.
I don't know
how long it's going to take
for it to gas off.
What the [bleep]?
[deckhand speaking]
[Felipe speaking]
[deckhand] Oh, my God.
So it looks like--
that we have a slack tank.
[Felipe speaking]
[Jake over PA] All right,
you guys,
keep securing the deck.
[deckhand] Roger.
[Jake] God.
We're in trouble now.
And it's getting worse.
It's going up to 10.
So now I have
over 200,000 pounds of water
rolling around down there,
causing us to list.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Jake] My pumps
aren't running right now,
so we could capsize
and flip the [bleep] over.
[narrator] Deadly anhydrous
ammonia can take hours
to dissipate to safe levels,
blocking access
to lower decks.
With no way
to turn on the pumps
or fill and balance
the crab tanks,
the risk of capsize
exceeds the risk of expl*si*n.
I see Keith.
Hey, Keith, pick me up.
Wizard.
Keith, you got me here?
[Keith] Yeah, that's fine.
Jake, is that you?
What the hell?
[Keith on radio]
[John]
What the hell just happened?
You may have to start thinking
about getting off the boat.
Roger. We gotta abandon ship.
[Sig] Oh, my God.
[Mandy] Keith is telling him
to abandon ship right now.
[Clark speaking]
He has an ammonia leak
and he's listing.
-Have you heard him?
-Yeah.
[Keith over radio]
Everybody up
to the wheelhouse now.
[deckhand] Yeah, roger.
[Keith over radio]
[Jake] Roger.
[deckhand] Go, go, go, go!
Pan-pan, pan-pan, this is
fishing vessel Titan Explorer.
I'm out at-- Damn it!
Oh, my God.
[static on radio]
Jake, you got me?
[Jake] Pan-pan, pan-pan,
this is fishing vessel
Titan Explorer.
Pan-pan, pan-pan, this is
fishing vessel Titan Explorer.
[static on radio]
[static stops]
[bleep]
[crew member coughing]
[Jake] I'm gonna open
the hatches
in hope that
she gasses herself out.
-Where's Kevin?
-[Kevin] Right here.
[Jake] Okay, you're in charge
of the suits, all right?
[Kevin] Okay, Captain.
-Rolando, I want you
on the life raft.
-Yes, sir.
-You need to let it go.
-Right.
-We're gonna keep it
tethered to the boat.
-Roger.
Esteban, I want you
on the lower deck
-with the painter line,
tying it off.
-Okay.
[Jake] We need to get
the [bleep] off this boat now.
[crew member]
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
[man coughing]
[man 2] Under, under, under!
I'll climb down to the pots.
Esteban's got
to tie the painter
once they get it figured out.
[Esteban] Hurry up. Hurry up.
-Okay, guys, go ahead!
-[Jake] You got it tied up?
[Esteban]
Let it go, let it go!
[Jake] Okay, coming down.
[Esteban] Go! Let it go!
[Jake]
Okay, let's start pulling it.
Pull it!
We're gonna have
sea anchors on it.
Let's go.
Okay, now start walking it.
Okay, let's go. Let's walk it.
[man] Okay, walk it.
Lean forward.
[crew member coughing]
[man 2] Let's go!
[Jake] Everybody here?
[man 3] Everybody here?
[Jake] Everybody got a suit?
[crew] Yeah!
[Jake] Watch how these guys
put them on
if you can't remember.
[grunting]
[Jake] Put the [bleep]
camera down!
[man 2] We're okay, yeah?
[man 3] Yeah.
Jake, come on. Jake.
[Rick] I mean,
Jake's by himself.
The Wizard's
the closest boat to him.
[Mandy speaking]
[Jake] Don't untie it.
Don't untie it.
You guys ready to get in?
[man] Sir,
we're ready to get in.
[Jake] We're all here?
[man 2] Clear!
[Jake] All right. Go ahead.
[man shouts indistinctly]
[Jake] You okay?
Wait for it to come up.
All right. Kevin.
Go easy now. Go easy, Kev.
[Kevin grunts]
[man coughing]
[Jake] You're next.
-Got it?
-Yes.
[Jake] Okay, I'm the last one.
Try to hang on
to that ladder for me, okay?
[grunting]
Okay, everybody?
[man] Yeah, Jake, yeah.
We got everybody.
[Jake] Okay,
start slacking us out.
[man 2] Slacking us out!
[Jake]
If that line starts to pull,
we're gonna have to cut it.
[man] Okay.
[Jake] Who's got the radio?
Keith, you got me here?
[over radio] Keith?
Anybody? Can anybody hear me?
[radio static]
This is Titan Explorer.
[John] We're way out west.
There's a big storm.
It's just coming up on us
right here.
It's from Taiwan,
called Kong-rey.
Oh, my God!
It's gonna not
get anybody hurt, God.
Get off the rail.
Off the rail!
[man] Watch out!
[captain]
It's hard to come and share
a wheelhouse with somebody.
[captain 2] Last I checked,
I was the captain
of this boat.
That's disrespectful
as [bleep] to me.
But this don't work for me.
"Mate."
[man on radio]
Let's regroup.
-[Keith] Monte!
-I'm trying to haul
the [bleep] gear!
Don't ever
do that to me again!
[John]
The further west you go,
the closer heaven and hell is.
One moment, it's heaven...
[deckhand] Yeah, baby!
Those are big.
Hell yeah! Let's do this!
[Sig]
This place is rebounding.
It's like we stepped
back in time.
[battle cry]
...the next moment, hell.
Oh, [bleep].
We got a stack fire.
What the [bleep] going on?
Oh!
Aah!
-[groans]
-[Sig] Don't touch it.
[bleep]
[crew clamoring and screaming]
[John] Oh, God,
what'd I get myself into?
