21x06 - Boarded on the Time Bandit

[bunniefuu]

[Rick] Being in a place
abandoned like this...

[eerie music playing]

...it makes you think about
every horror movie

you've ever seen.

-[wind blowing]
-[metal squeaking]

[Rick] That's how I feel
right now.

If I have to sleep in one
of these rundown buildings...

I don't know
if I'd ever go home.

It's just scary.

But one good thing about Adak

is we have a McDonald's.

I'm a Burger King man myself,

but it's pretty cool we have
a McDonald's out at Adak.

[epic music playing]

In the early 1940s,
the US military created

this huge military base
out at Adak.

And after World w*r II ended,

troops started pulling out
and it had a smaller presence.

And then the crab industry
came in.

My Grandpa Lee
first came to Adak

when he was 12 years old.

He was one of the pioneers.

It's my hope
that the very beginning,

the very starting
of our family empire

is where I can grow a future.

[seagulls cawing]

[waves crashing]

[crew member] Oh, oh!

[Sig] That's not very good.

That's not gonna do it.

OK.

[crew member] Not looking good.

No, that's not very good.

They're not coming up
like we were hoping.

I really don't know
what I'm gonna do here.

They gotta go back
in the water someplace.

The problem is you don't wanna
get too spread out

because it just
takes so much time
gathering everything.

I mean, everything's about
the expense, you know,

because the price of fuel
has gone up so much.

Time is money, right?

Aleutian Lady.

That's him over there.

I wonder what he's up to.

[crew member] Son of a b*tch!

What is this?

[crew member speaking]

No frickin' bueno.

This is ugly.

This is ugly, ugly.

[crew member speaking]

First count or this count?

[crew member speaking]

These numbers suck, Rick.

[phone buzzing]

[Rick] Hey, Sig,
how you doing, man?

[Sig on the phone]

-Yeah.
-Yes, I'm not seeing much.

So I just, I'm curious what,
you know, if you've got

anything to share, 'cause
this is pretty pitiful so far.

I mean, it's nothing exciting.

A lot of blank pots,
a couple of tens, and...

[Rick on the phone]

[crew member] Argh!

You know, they've gotta be
around somewhere.

[crew member speaking]

[Sig] So what about
your grandpa?

He had a place
out in Adak, didn't he?

I mean, he's gotta
know something.

[Rick] Yeah, my grandpa's
owned it for a long time,

and I don't think anybody's been
there for a couple decades.

[Sig] Maybe he's got
some old information

that you can dig up.
Who knows?

[Rick and Sig speaking]

...see what we come up with,
so if I come up with something,

you come up with something,
we can always share that info,

that data if you want.

...find out anything,
and we'll go from there.

Good luck, I know you gotta
do a little digging,

but yeah, who knows
what you'll run into.

All right, Sig.
Thank you, man.

[Sophia] Do you really think
it's a good idea

to go in a partnership with Sig?

[Rick] No, no,
I don't really trust him.

But right now,
Sig had a good idea to see

if there's anything on Adak.

'Cause, if there is anything,
it's well worth looking at.

Hey, even if I get a little bit,
I'll still get something.

Rick, he's getting information.

But in the meantime,

we gotta see what we can do
about finding some crab.

I'm just gonna run
these up the hill

and cover some ground,
cover some depths.

See how we do.

[crew member #1] Come on, crab!
Come on, crab!

Oh, ah!

Whoa!

[Jonathan speaking]

Whoo-hoo!

I got it, I got it.

Another whale, there's a lot
of whales right here.

[Heather] Oh, my gosh.

-[Jonathan] Right there.
-[Heather] Oh, oh, my gosh.

-See the little babies?
-Oh, my gosh.

[Heather speaking]

He's right here.

Whales are smart.
I'm too slow.

They're not gonna
let me hit 'em.

Well, keep hauling a*s for us.

[Jonathan speaking]

[Jonathan] We ain't got no time.

I got really old crab on board.

We have to be in in 22 hours.

If we don't make our offload,
we get put in the back

of the list, you lose
a half a million dollars

of crab if it takes
too long to offload.

h*, h*, h*,
h*, h*, h*, h*, h*!

Wow!

Wow!

Oh!

[Jonathan] Look at that pot.

-Damn!
-Definitely above 80!

Just incredible
how big these crab are.

We're gonna have
a 10-pound average for sure.

[indistinct]

Ha, ha, ha

Yeah, baby.
Why not?

All right.

[Jonathan] On this boat,
we have a tradition.

[blows raspberries]

I got my safety glasses on.

OK, stand back.

-[Jonathan] Oh!
-Rocket Man!

Whoo! Ha, ha, one more.
[speaking Spanish]

[Jonathan on the radio]

-[crew member speaking Spanish]
-All right.

Fire extinguisher.

[Jonathan on the radio]

Oh, baby.

...at home.
-[indistinct talking]

All right, right now, gotta go
as fast as this boat can go

all the way
to the damn delivery.


It's gonna be close.

[lively music playing]

OK, Neal.
I just need a little nap, man.

I've just been up
too long, brother.

Thank you. Thank you.

-Standing by
for you, brother.
-Hey!

[thunder rumbling]

[Coast Guard on radio]

Johnny!

[suspenseful music playing]

[Coast Guard
and Jonathan speaking]

[Neal] What the [bleep], man.

[bleep]

[crew member and Jonathan]

[Coast Guard speaking]

They're having me turn around.
I'm gonna be later now.

The Coast Guard wants to check
all my permits.

They come down and do a complete
safety check on your boat.

They're here
to keep us safe but...

they're gonna mess around here
for two, or three or four hours.

Just when I thought I was
gonna be on time, now I'm not.

Got the lights on.

[crew member speaking]

Oh, my God!

[Jonathan speaking]

This is -- this is not good.

This is not good at all.

Four, four, four, four...

[indistinct chattering]

Three go,
stand by, stand by.

[indistinct talking]

[Jonathan speaking on radio]

Borderline ridiculous.

That's all,
my permits are right there.

I said, "Are you guys sure
you need to do this right now?"

They said, "Yes, we -- [burp]
need to, for sure, we need

to do right now, so."

Now we just have a delay, so.

I'm gonna be late
for my delivery.

Bla, la, la, la, la.

All right, roll it back up
for you guys.

-All right, Captain.
-[Jonathan] Yes.

We're just gonna grab our stuff,
and then we'll make

our way down there.
-Get you off safely.

Thank you.

[officer #1] Three, three,
four, four.

[officer #3] Let me know

[officer #1] Come about
two feet, two feet..

Jump, jump, jump.

[officer #1] One more.
Four feet.

[Jonathan] It's only been
upward hill.

We're having such a good season,

it's gonna end
on this kind of note.

We're gonna be four hours
late for the cannery.

Unless I can make up the time
on the way to town,

maybe we can make
eight and a half

with the wind behind us.

What are you guys doing?

[Neal] Turn around.

OK.

Neal MacGyver.

It looks like they're...

it's like they're putting
up a sail or something.

[Neal laughs]

Whoa!
[bleep] [indistinct]

[Jonathan speaking]

I've never seen that before.

[Jonathan speaking]

...it helps even the eighth
of a knot,

it's gonna help save an hour.

You never know.

Seal the Deal Neal,

don't ever go anywhere without
Seal the Deal Neal.

[Sig speaking]

Roger!

[Sig]
Everything that the old man
was doing was all west.

[mysterious music playing]

I remember some
of these hot spots,

but I don't know exactly...

but he had everything
marked on here.

I see a couple of valleys,
I wanna play with.

I mean, when you look...

it's pretty...

I mean, it's talking to me.

It's definitely,
definitely hinting...

...and, we're gonna fire
some off.

Roger!

And in the meantime,

hopefully Rick will come up
with something.

[wind whistling]

[Rick] My grandpa Lee, I'm here
because I was talking to him,

and he thinks he has some
of his old charts and log books.

I can't tell the difference
between these places.

[phone ringing]

[Grandma Lee speaking]

Hey, Grandma, how are you doing?

How's Grandpa doing?
Is he able to talk right now?

I'm out here in Adak.

[Grandpa Lee speaking]

Hey, Grandpa Lee.

What was the house number again?

I'm driving to our house
right now.

[Rick] All right, Grandpa.

I'm gonna take
some videos of the inside

and bring them home,
and we could all look at them.

All right, Grandma and Grandpa.

I love you guys so much.

[Grandpa and Grandma] Love you.

[Rick] I wanna check it out.

I wanna find out
if there is a potential

of finding a gold mine.

Oh, that must be it there.

Yeah, 123.

At least it's not collapsing.

Oh, see if it's open.

Oh, man, there ain't even
a freaking door handle.

It smells like
an old person's house.

It's kind of like they left it,

expecting to come
back real quick.

No way!

[laughs]

Some old slacks.

Do I even dare
touch this stuff?

So here's my next outfit.

Got my shirt, got my pants.

"Mi Costa."

I'd assume it's one of the boats
my family owned up here.

Wow.

That stinks.

[gagging]

I'm striking out.

[tense music playing]

All right, here we go.

Here we go, we got a desk.

That's badass.

That's one
of my family's old boats,

the Robert E. Reeseoff.

[exhales]

[whispering] Freaking...

[normally] Oh!

[laughs]

All right, this is
what I was looking for.

I mean, this thing's so old...

there's no date on it,
there's no nothing.

This might...
be something special.

[Rick] This is an old-a*s chart.

[suspenseful music playing]

This is what I was looking for.

From Atka...

[whispering] Adak,
Kanaga, Tanaga.

[normally] I got from Tanaga
to Atka, covered.

That's 200-plus miles of bottom.

He's got strings
in all of these bays,

all these little passes,
and tiny valleys right there.

Wow.

He has the bearings wrote down,

he's got the depth curve changes
that aren't on the map.

This is priceless stuff.

We need to find a way
to narrow this down.

All right, I'm gonna
get this back to the boat.

[Sig on radio] All right,
we're getting close.

We've got a 30-mile spread
on our gear,

uh, different depths,

shallow to deep.

And then we'll see
what happens here.

And I'm excited because,
I've been out this way

for quite some time, so...

I'm hoping that this is similar
to what we saw in the past,

you know, similar
to what my old man used to do.

Coming up.

[winch grinding]

No, no, no, no, no.
That's not gonna do it.

Ah!

OK, next one coming up.

That's a little better.

Good.

They look big.
That's the main thing,

but we need more.

All right!
Third one.

Come on, come on, come on.

Oh, that looks...

beautiful!

I mean, there's still crab.
It looks good.

That one looks fine,
but it is less.

[winch grinding]

-[crew member #1] Yeah!
-[crew member #2] Whoo!

So the last couple of pots
have been kind of tapering down.

It almost makes me wonder
if the, you know, if there's

just a little strip in here,
and 65 is the magic number.

We're just gonna have to see.

[phone buzzing]

[Sig] Hey, Rick!
How goes it?

[Rick speaking]

How was it over there
at your grandpa's place?

...a bunch of old magazines
and pictures.

I found a couple charts, too.

Is there any info
on those things?

Anything we see out here,
I will share with you, OK?

Hey, do you wanna take
a picture of the charts

and send it to Sig?
-[Sophia] OK.

[tense music playing]

[phone buzzing]

I got it.
Hang on a second, Rick.

Stand by.

And these gullies
kind of go up to the north,

but they cross
a lot of different depths here,

fifty, sixty fathoms.
Here's a gully.

He's gonna screw us
on this one, I got a feeling.

[Sig] I mean, kinda if you take
my 65 fathom range,

you know, it does narrow
it down a little bit.

You know, I think if you kind
of just combine the two,

you're probably gonna see crab
all along in there,

all along in that ridge,
all along in that gully, I bet.

Well at least put
the elevator music on,

so I feel like I'm...

Sorry, I had you on mute.

...in that 65 fathom range.

There are some gullies that
kind of go up and down there.

Put the two together,

and I think that would
be a winner, I really do.

Yeah, sounds good, 65 fathoms.

Why don't I just meet you
at the south side

of that little gully?

Be a little tight in there,
but...if there's crab,

there's crab, right?

All right, man.
Bye.

[Sig] We gotta give it a shot,

and the sign we saw,
definitely in that 60 range,

that 65 range was good.

It's just not enough
to bang out a big trip,

but it does show
that there's, you know,

that there's crab out there.

If it pays off,
it could be good,

that's all I'm saying.

I mean, if you miss --

it's fuel, time, and money,
and it's all the things

we don't have right now,
so very risky.

My grandpa put
in tens of millions of pounds

of king crab from out west.

If I could find something,
that could be the game changer.

[Jonathan] Looks like right now
we're gonna be a little bit late

for the cannery.

We're gonna get our crab
to them,

but it'll be a little bit late.

We're doing eight knots.
That's as hard as I can run it.

But Neal's got the sail up.

We're getting about
nine knots out of this.

Nine and a half,
ten knots with a sail.

We'll make it.

I can see
the harbor entrance right there.

-[Neal speaking]
-Roger!

[Neal] Oh, yeah, it's right
where that white water is.

[ocean roaring]

[Jonathan] Whoo, whoo!

Look at that this one.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, [bleep]!

Those are like 20-foot waves.

[Russell]
Look at those breakers.

We're on a 113-foot surfboard
right now.

[waves crashing]

[Jonathan] That entrance
is so small.

It's only like 120-feet wide
or 28-feet wide,

so we only got 50 feet
on each side, it's scary.

Six to nine fathoms,
three fathoms, 18-foot waves.

Yeah, that's pretty ugly.
Just not enough water in there.

We got $300,000 worth
of crab on board.

It'd be nice to just tie them
to the dock, that's for sure.

If we hit the bottom,
we suck mud up,

flood all our crab,
k*ll all our crab.

It's happened to
a lot of people here.

Let's get up there
and take a look.

Well, if we do,

we're gonna surf our way
in there, that's for damn sure.

[tense music playing]

That's a big wave.
That's a big wave.

Look at that [bleep].

Hang on.

That's scary.

I don't wanna scare me
right now.

-Look at this.
-[Neal] Oh, my God.

That's a set
you don't wanna go in on.

Holy [bleep].

Might be too rough.
I'll go up and take a look.

[Neal] Yeah, it might be.

[Jonathan] It's getting
shallow right now.

[Neal] Just do not hit
the bottom.

Otherwise, I will put
my survival suit on right now.

[Jonathan] We could -- we could
probably get in there,

but just gotta wait
for the right one.

Yeah, we'll get a little closer.

[Neal] Just ram it up there
if you're gonna do it.

[tense music playing]

[Jonathan] Look at that wave.

Oh, my gosh!

[waves crashing]

Look at that wave.
Oh, yeah, look at that.

[Neal]
[bleep] Oh my gosh!

-[waves crashing]
-[ocean roaring]

[Jonathan speaking]

I want nothing to do with this.

[laughing]

Nothing do with this.

Yeah, we don't wanna
go in there, my friend.

This is too shallow right here.

That's just too big already,
I think.

Yeah, that's freaking way risky.

-I'll turn around.
-Yeah.

Too much money worth
of crab on board,

we could lose our boat,
we could lose all our crab,

and we could lose our lives.

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.

-[Russell] Holy smokes!
-[crew member] Oh.

It's gotta be 25-foot
frickin' break surf coming in.

[crew member]
Oh, my goodness.

Two extra hours,
take a little break,

and then we can go
in the harbor.

But not right now.

Not for the faint of heart.

There he is.

Right on.
We're gonna do this thing.

[Rick] All right,
are you about ready?

[Sig speaking]

...take a chance
and work it together.

[Rick speaking]

I got Bob watching
you drop the pot.

I don't wanna get too close
because right now we're gonna

tangle up if we set
at the same time.

[Sophia] Yeah, totally.

-[tense music playing]
-[waves crashing]

[Sophia] Hey,
how's it going, Sig?

...or a loser?

[Sophia] Well, if it was
a winner, then it was my idea,

and if it's a loser,
then it was Rick's idea.

[all laugh]

All right, I'm gonna let
the first one go.

Going over!

This is about a tenth
that's going over.

[Rick speaking]

[crew member] Go!

[Rick speaking]

I feel like I'm cheating, man,

like we're using somebody
else's old information.

OK.

So, what do you think?

I mean, we got room for another


[Rick] It's gonna be close.

We're gonna be coming
out of it here in a couple,

but I wanna get as many
in here as I can.

[Sig speaking]

...kind of fire
at will right now.

[crew member] Roger.

[Sig] Well, I think we got
a pretty good shot

at hitting something here,
I really do.

I don't think you can get any
more gear in there properly

the way we did.

...gonna at least have
the opportunity to catch.

...fun, you know?

So stress, no stress,
crab, no crab,

I had fun.
That's so far, so good, man.

Knock on wood.

[Neal speaking]

[Jonathan] Trying to get
into the harbor again.

It's been like really bad here,

but I think we're gonna be
OK this time.

-[waves crashing]
-[ocean roaring]

Come around really slow,
then we can slowly go in.

It's a really small entrance.

Here we go.

[tense music playing]

[Jonathan]
It's a very small harbor.

You see that blinking orange?

Right there, blinking orange.
Head straight towards that.

[metal creaking]

[Neal] I can't see it.

[Jonathan] Stick your head
out the [bleep] window,

and you'll be able to see
really good.

[crew members speaking]

[Neal] I know, I am.
I'm turning around again,

'cause I can't [bleep] see it.

You got to stick your head
out the window to see.

You're coming in too hot.
I can see it.

[Neal] I know, all I see --

[Jonathan] Let me get it.
I got it.

Go ahead, Neal.

[Neal] If I can't see it,
I'm not going in.

If you can't see it,
don't do it.

[Neal] Aim straight
for that light.

[Jonathan] Yeah, heading
straight for the light, brother.

I'm coming in slow.

[Neal] Stay away
from that breakwater

on your right.
-[Jonathan] Yeah.

[Neal] I see these breakers
going in there, brother.

I'm going too far to the left.

[wind howling]

[Neal]
I can see the harbor entrance,

but it looks [bleep] sketchy
as hell.

I can see the breakwater
on your side.

[Neal] Straighten it out.

Don't let it blow
you to the starboard.

Where's the blinking yellow?
Go starboard or port?

[Russell] Two fathoms.

This ain't easy.

-[Russell] One fathom.
-Very scary.

Very [bleep] scary.

[Neal] They turned
the starboard.

Starboard!
Starboard hard.

[bleep] [bleep]

-I'm right here.
-[Jonathan] I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were there.

That was terrible, honey.

Oh, my God.
I'm in trouble.

You guys might
have to protect me.

I need protection.

[laughing]

[Jonathan] One fathom.

One fathom.

Very [bleep] scary.

[bleep] [bleep].

Where's the blinking yellow?

You see blinking yellow?

[Neal] Yeah.

Just keep coming around
to the port.

OK.

Straighten it out.
[bleep]

-[Jonathan] Right ahead.
-[Neal] Yep.

-OK, this ain't easy.
-No, you're good.

[Jonathan] Give it all she got.

Coming in.
Hot rod.

-[Neal] Just like that, right?
-I got it right here.

-We got it made.
-Yep.

Keep going.
Just straight ahead.

I can see the whole shot, buddy.

We got the whole shot.

-Whoo!
-[Neal] Straighten her out.

Now I got to go wipe
this [bleep] off my a*s.

-[Neal laughs]
-[Jonathan] [bleep]

Wow!

-We made it.
-[indistinct background chatter]

[Jonathan] You imagine
abandoning ship right there.

How embarrassing would that be?

My whole career flushed
down the toilet.

We just got schooled
by this little harbor.

Wow!

Holy moly, what a long day.

[Sig speaking]

[suspenseful music playing]

Took a big risk,
but I don't have any regrets.

Not at this point.

All right, coming up
on the first pot.

Here we go.

A lot of suspense here.

[Rick] We took the west side,
Sig took the east side.

I can't wait to get
the first one up.

[crew members cheering]

[Sig speaking]

You can't deny that.

Oh, hell yeah,
there's 50, 60.

-[Sophia] Nuh-uh.
-Yeah.

-Whoo!
-[Rick] It's looking good.

-[Sophia] Yeah.
-[Rick] Hell yeah.

-Whoo!
-Yeah, baby.

[Sig speaking]

Hey, Sig.

Whoo!

...we are in 'em.

Oh, yeah.
They're all going in.

That string is just
on fire right now.

It's doing great.

[crew members cheering]

-Oh yeah, baby!
-Here we go.

There she goes.

We're in 'em, big, man.

[crew members cheering]

[crew member speaking]

[Rick speaking]

I'm impressed, man.
Way to go.

Everything you're doing.

We thread the needle.

I don't think you can get any
more gear in there.

[crew members cheering]

[Rick] This is going to be
very fun.

Holy crap.

All right, you guys.
Thank you, man.

-Yeah!
-Whoo!

[Sig] It worked out great.

I don't think this was
just luck or coincidence.

I think that this place
is rebounding, it's coming back,

and it's like we stepped back
in time, you know?

Pretty exciting to see.

[Jonathan]
An hour two minutes late,
but they're gonna take us.

Thank you, Lord.
Whoo!

Thank you, God.

[Neal]
Go around it, right?

[crew member]
They double that one up.

[Jonathan] We did it.
We [bleep] made it, dude.

That sail saved us
a couple hours.

[crew member] Oh, baby!

[Jonathan]
Half a million dollars worth
of crab on the line right here.

I don't know if this is
the smallest harbor
in the world,

but it's the smallest harbor
I've ever been in in the world,

in the world I know.

Good boat, good boat.
Unbelievable.

[laughing]

[indistinct]

[Russell] Christmas day
right here.

This is a fisherman's Christmas
right here.

[Neal] Yep.
