[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 War II, the presence of military was all over this island.
The population of Adak actually hit about 90,000 people.
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 60,000 square miles 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 130 million pounds every year.
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 War 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 shoot you down."
Now, I get to go to Adak.
[laughs]
We are way, way out here.
[narrator] After steaming 55 hours across 445 miles 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] 445 miles northeast...
-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 50,000 pounds of quota
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 War 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, 100 miles of area,
-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!
[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.
-[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 680 miles to go,
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.
2024, let's go!
-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]
-[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-ho. 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 bitch!
[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 war.
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] -[Rick on PA] Holy [bleep].
[man] Yeah!
-[Rick on PA] Oh, my God. -[man speaking]
[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... 254 pounds, equals...
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] 70 miles southeast...
[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.
-[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.
[loud thud]
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 120-gallon cylinders,
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...
600 pounds of liquid ammonia
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 bastard!
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 war in the '40s,
our military was stationed here.
All the docks were along here.
This is actually a submarine net, World War 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-ho-ho-ho, 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 ass 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 explosion.
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?
