Narrator: FOR FOUR GENERATIONS,

THE KILCHER FAMILY HAS CARVED A LIFE

OUT OF THE HARSH ALASKAN WILDERNESS.

IN ORDER TO SURVIVE,

THEY MUST RELY ON MATERIALS THEY HAVE ON HAND.

ABOVE ALL ELSE, THEY MUST RELY ON EACH OTHER.

Eivin: RAISING A FAMILY ON A HOMESTEAD,

THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT COULD GO WRONG.

OH!

EMILY, ARE YOU OKAY? OH!

Eivin: TO SURVIVE AND TO SUCCEED HERE,

IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO HELPING EACH OTHER OUT.

Atz: KNOWING YOUR STRENGTHS.

[ GRUNTS ]

Otto: KNOWING YOUR WEAKNESSES,

DEPENDING AND RELYING ON EACH OTHER.

THOSE ARE INVALUABLE SKILLS.

[ GRUNTS ]

Otto: IF YOU QUIT LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER

OH, GOD. IN THIS HARSH ENVIRONMENT,

YOU AIN'T GONNA SURVIVE.

HEY!

[ CHEERING ]

HEY! OW!

Narrator: TEN MILES FROM THE HOMESTEAD ON KACHEMAK BAY,

OTTO AND WIFE CHARLOTTE NAVIGATE THE CONSTRUCTOR

TO PICK UP SON EIVIN ON KILCHER BEACH.

TODAY'S MISSION, RECOVER AN OLD FAMILY RELIC

BEFORE IT ENDS UP IN THE SCRAP HEAP.

Eivin: HERE WE GO!

MY DAD IS DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, OLDER,

I CAN SEE IT, AND, YOU KNOW,

WITH HIS HERNIA ESPECIALLY...

[ GROANS ] THIS ISN'T GOING.

AH, HONEY, STOP, STOP.

I TRY TO TAKE THINGS OFF OF HIS PLATE.

HOW LATE CAN YOU WORK?

I CAN KEEP GOING.

GOOD.

BUT THERE'S THINGS I WANT TO DO

AND THERE'S THINGS EVE WANTS ME TO DO.

Eve: EIVIN!

Eivin: I'M TRYING TO CONSTANTLY JUGGLE THOSE PRIORITIES.

CAN BE TOUGH BECAUSE I DO FEEL SPREAD THIN.

Otto: I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DRIVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE

SO I CAN GO DOWN AND START THE PUMP.

WE'RE GOING TO GO GET THE OLD HOUSE OFF THE NANUK.

IT'S THE HOUSE OFF MY FIRST LANDING CRAFT

I USED DURING THE OIL SPILL.

THAT'S THE LANDING CRAFT THAT MY WIFE AND I MET ON, 1989.

Charlotte: WHEN I FIRST MET OTTO DURING THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL,

I WAS RUNNING THE BIRD RESCUE CENTER IN HOMER

AND HE WAS WORKING ON THE CLEANUP EFFORT ON THE NANUK,

SO IT'S JUST REALLY SENTIMENTAL TO ME.

Otto: HECK, CHARLOTTE AND I TOOK OUR HONEYMOON ON THAT BOAT.

GOT SOME FOND MEMORIES OF THAT HOUSE.

I'VE HAD THE OLD NANUK HOUSE

STORED ON MY FRIEND WAYNE'S PROPERTY

FOR A GOOD LONG WHILE

AND HE WANTS IT OFF HIS PROPERTY AT THIS TIME,

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO RESCUE IT

AND SEE IF WE CAN'T TURN IT INTO A SAFETY SHACK.

IF THERE'S ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE OR MUDSLIDE

AND THE BEACH ROAD GETS CLOSED

AND YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF IT,

IT'S A PLACE TO SPEND THE NIGHT IF YOU HAVE TO.

A REFUGE.

I'M JUST NOT VERY TUNED-IN TO THIS BOAT.

AND...

I'M NOT DOING A VERY GOOD JOB STEERING IT,

THAT IS FOR SURE.

EVERY TIME I GO OUT ON THE CONSTRUCTOR,

THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO

AND I NEED TO GET A REFRESHER.

MAYBE HE'S SHOWN ME THAT SAME THING A YEAR AGO

AND THEN THINKS I'M SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER HOW TO DO IT.

AND I JUST DON'T RETAIN IT.

IT'S LIKE ALL THIS WEIRD MECHANICAL STUFF

THAT ISN'T JUST INNATE TO ME.

I'VE GONE WAY OFF COURSE. IT'S LIKE I'M --

I'M JUST NOT VERY GOOD AT --

AT KEEPING THIS THING TOTALLY LINED UP.

Otto: HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I KNOW! I'M SCREWING IT UP!

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS.

IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, I EXPECT HER TO OPEN THE DOOR AND SAY,

"HONEY, THERE'S A DAMN PROBLEM."

I'VE GOT MY OWN EXPECTATIONS OF WHEN I'M GOING TO BE THERE.

COME ON.

I'M NOT REALLY DEMANDING PERFECTION

AS MUCH AS I'M DEMANDING ATTENTION.

[ BANGING ]

WHY WAS THE BOAT NOT STEERING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

THAT WAS MY FIRST CONCERN.

IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO ASK ME, WHAT'S GOING ON, CHARLOTTE.

OTTO, I CAN'T MAKE IT GO!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL. DAMN!

OTTO'S BEING A REAL JERK RIGHT NOW.

I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU IN HERE!

STEP ASIDE SO I CAN GET TO THERE.

Otto: WE'RE GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION,

AND OUT HERE ON THE WATER, TIDE AND TIME ARE SYNONYMOUS.

IT'S OUR CLOCK.

LOOKING AWAY FROM THE HELM FOR A FEW MINUTES

AND GOING OFF-COURSE ALL ADDS UP,

AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'M THINKING,

"WOW, WE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT."

Charlotte: OTTO, I THOUGHT YOU HAD IT IN YOUR HEAD THAT I'M UP HERE

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

IF THERE'S A PROBLEM,

I EXPECT YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR AND HOLLER AT ME.

Charlotte: IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S USUALLY BROUGHT ON BY

A REALLY TENSE SITUATION

WHERE HE FEELS LIKE HE'S OUT THERE BY HIMSELF

HAVING TO DO EVERYTHING

IF HIS DECKHAND IS KIND OF FAILING.

Narrator: OVER 40 MILES AWAY, ATZ LEE IS FOCUSED ON RECOVERING

FROM HIS TRAUMATIC NEAR-DEATH ACCIDENT,

BUT HE'S NOT ALONE IN HIS QUEST.

HE IS RELYING ON HELP FROM HIS FATHER ATZ SR.

AND NEIGHBOR JOHN COILA

TO MAKE HIS NEW HOMESTEAD A REALITY.

TODAY'S THE DAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE 'ER.

Atz Lee: ME AND MY DAD ARE MEETING UP WITH JOHN COILA TODAY

TO MOVE A SAWMILL.

DOING PRETTY GOOD AS FAR AS GETTING STUFF

GOING ON THE NEW HOME SITE.

WE'VE GOT A WALL TENT UP.

WE'VE GOT SPRING WATER ESTABLISHED ON THE PROPERTY.

AND NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING THE SAWMILL ONSITE

BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING A LOG CABIN

AND YOU WANT TO GET THAT CABIN BUILT AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

WE'RE GOING TO LOWER THE MILL DOWN AS FAR AS IT CAN GO,

DROP THE CENTER OF GRAVITY ALL THE WAY.

Atz Lee: REHABILITATING PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY

HAS TO BE PRIORITY NUMBER ONE.

PUSH MYSELF TOO HARD, I CAN GET HURT.

DON'T PUSH MYSELF HARD ENOUGH, I'LL GIVE UP,

SO IT'S A FINE LINE.

GENTLEMEN, START YOUR MOTORS.

HERE WE GO.

Atz Lee: MOVING THIS SAWMILL

RIGHT NOW OVER TO THE HOUSE SITE IS CRUCIAL.

I MEAN, THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE TO DO IT.

ONCE THE BOTTOM GOES OUT AND THERE'S NOTHING BUT MUDHOLES

AND BOGS AND STUFF, THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE POSSIBLE.

SO IF THIS MILL DOESN'T GET MOVED TODAY,

IT'S NEVER GOING TO GET MOVED, AND IF IT DOESN'T GET MOVED,

MY HOMESTEAD'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN,

SO WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS MILL TO THE HOUSE SITE NOW.

WOO-HOO! WOO!

WOO!

HEY! WOO!

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! WHOA!

CUT IT ALREADY, DID IT? YEAH.

JUMPED OFF TO LOOK AT WHAT WAS GOING ON

AND ONE OF THE STRAPS HAD BROKE ON THE SAWMILL WOOD,

SO IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT WE STOPPED,

BECAUSE IF THAT STRAP, BEING BROKEN,

THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THAT SAWMILL'S GOING TO

SLIDE OFF THE BACK AND GET DAMAGED,

AND IF THE SAWMILL GETS DAMAGED, WE'VE GOT NOTHING AFTER THAT.

THE SAWMILL IS BASICALLY

WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE THIS WHOLE HOMESTEAD HAPPEN.

OKAY, LET'S GRAB THIS BIG BLUE LINE OUT OF THIS TOTE HERE.

OH, GOD.

Narrator: 35 MILES FROM ATZ LEE'S NEW HOMESTEAD,

HIS WIFE JANE JOINS FORCES WITH EVE ON KACHEMAK BAY

TO CATCH THE FIRST FISH OF THE SPRING.

Eve: JANE AND I ARE GOING FISHING TODAY

TO GET SOME FRESH FISH AND ALSO JUST GET OFF THE HOMESTEAD,

TRY NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE

OR KIDS OR HUSBANDS AND JUST HAVE SOME GIRL FUN.

I'M FISHING! MM.

EATING SALMON TONIGHT.

FISHING IS, LIKE, HOW I FIT IN ON THE HOMESTEAD.

OH! HE'S A NICE ONE!

OH, BOY! THANK GOD.

I FISH MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

[ GRUNTS ]

IT'S WHAT I LIKE TO DO AND I GET OUT THERE AND I GET IT DONE.

WOO! WOO!

I'M A FISHERGIRL.

COME ON.

WHAT'S ATZ LEE UP TO?

HE'S OUT WITH HIS DAD TURNING INTO HIS DAD.

YEAH, I THINK YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT,

IN SOME WAYS, THEY'LL END UP LIKE THEIR FATHERS.

Jane: ATZ LEE IS BUSY WITH HIS DAD

BUILDING HIS CABIN OUT REMOTE IN THE WOODS

THAT I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, TO BE HONEST, GOING FISHING,

I'M GOING TO FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT STUFF FOR A WHOLE DAY.

BOY, WE'RE NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK.

ARE WE JUST, LIKE, NOT AT THE RIGHT DEPTH OR SOMETHING?

YEAH, LET'S JUST -- LET'S TRY DEEPER.

OKAY. JANE, ARE YOU READY?

YEAH.

I DON'T LIKE TO WAIT MORE THAN AN HOUR IN EACH SPOT,

BECAUSE YOU'RE ON A TIME CRUNCH.

SO WE DECIDED TO SEE WHAT EIVIN'S BOAT COULD HANDLE

AND TRY TO GET WHERE THE FISHY SPOTS ARE,

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEFINITELY

GO THE DISTANCE TODAY.

Eve: ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO.

Narrator: ACROSS THE BAY, OTTO AND WIFE CHARLOTTE

RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK TO PICK UP SON EIVIN

AND THE EXCAVATOR BEFORE THE TIDE

GOES OUT ON KILCHER BEACH.

Eivin: ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE EXACTLY ONE HOUR AWAY NOW.

OH, MY. THAT'S A LONG TIME.

YEAH, IT'S A LONG TIME.

WE GOT A LITTLE SCREWED-UP THERE.

NOT TIMING THIS RIGHT WOULD MEAN DELAYING THIS TRIP A WHOLE DAY,

AND THIS TIME OF YEAR, WE JUST CAN'T AFFORD THAT.

OKAY, I'M HERE. WHERE ARE YOU?

IF WE MISS THIS TIDE, IT'S GOING TO END UP

TAKING WAY TOO MUCH TIME TO DO THIS PROJECT,

AND SO IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT THAT MY DAD IS ON TIME

SO THAT HE HITS THE TIDE RIGHT

AND WE CAN GET THIS PROJECT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

UH...

Narrator: FINALLY BACK ON COURSE,

OTTO AND WIFE CHARLOTTE ARE PICKING UP EIVIN

AND THE EXCAVATOR ON KILCHER BEACH.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE TO RETRIEVE THE NANUK PILOTHOUSE

BEFORE THE TIDE GOES OUT OR THE WEATHER TURNS AGAINST THEM.

Otto: TODAY THE TARGET WAS GETTING TO THE BEACH

AND I'VE GOT EIVIN WAITING FOR ME AT THE OTHER END.

AND THEN GETTING THE EXCAVATOR LOADED

AND GETTING BACK OFF THE BEACH WITHOUT GETTING STUCK.

HI, EIVIN. SORRY WE'RE LATE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

SO, TIDE'S GOING OUT AND EVERYTHING.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY JUST GET LOADED AND GO.

OKAY.

Otto: I'M GOING TO USE THE EXCAVATOR

BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT

THAT I HAVE TO PICK SOMETHING UP WITH.

THE TEST IS GOING TO BE WHETHER THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT,

WHICH CAN PICK UP AROUND 15,000 POUNDS,

WILL ACTUALLY PICK UP THIS HOUSE,

WHICH I THINK MIGHT WEIGH AROUND 10,000 POUNDS.

OKAY.

I THINK WE'RE GOOD TO GO.

Charlotte: I'M BEING THE SCREWED-UP DECKHAND TODAY.

Eivin: IT'S A COMBINATION OF A SCREWED-UP DECKHAND

AND A SCREWED-UP CAPTAIN.

[ LAUGHS ]

Otto: AT LEAST WE'VE GOT THE EXCAVATOR ON.

Charlotte: YEP.

THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MORE STRESSFUL SHAKEDOWN CRUISES.

WELL, I WAS WEAVING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE BOAT.

AT LEAST IT WASN'T SOMETHING MECHANICAL.

IT WAS JUST YOU.

[ LAUGHS ]

Narrator: 35 MILES AWAY, IN THE RAW ALASKAN WILDERNESS,

ATZ LEE, DAD ATZ SR., AND NEIGHBOR JOHN COILA

COME TOGETHER TO OVERCOME AN OBSTACLE

THAT THREATENS THE MOVING OF THE SAWMILL.

RIGHT AWAY, WE WOUND UP LOSING A RATCHET STRAP.

IT WAS BETTER TO STOP.

WE'VE GOT ANOTHER ROPE OUT, A VERY STRONG PIECE OF LINE,

AND USED THAT AND THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE OLD,

BROKEN RATCHET STRAP TO REGAIN TENSION IN THAT POSITION

AND WE SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED THAT.

YOU MIND IF I CHANGE THE CHAIN OF COMMAND?

I KIND OF...

SENT ME OFF IN MY PTSD LAND, SO I'M KIND OF...

WANT ME TO TAKE THE WHEELER?

OKAY. SHUTTING DOWN HERE.

OKAY.

Atz Lee: AS WE'RE SEEING STRAPPING STUFF, IT JUST TRIGGERED

SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME AND JUST THAT FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS.

ONCE WE WERE GOING TO GET GOING AGAIN,

I REALIZED THAT I WAS NO LONGER CAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB

THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.

THANKS FOR SWAPPING OUT THERE. IT JUST SENT ME OVER THE EDGE.

John: OKAY.

ANOTHER SHOT AT IT, GENTLEMEN.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE IN TOUCH WITH WHATEVER'S GOING ON

IN THIS KIND OF A JOB.

SO IF YOU DON'T FEEL UP TO A JOB,

YOU'D BEST SAY, "I DON'T FEEL UP TO IT."

SO IT WAS GOOD ABOUT THAT YOU SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

TOO MUCH STUFF COMING AT ME HERE."

Atz Lee: ONCE WE GOT THE SAWMILL ROLLING AGAIN,

WE WERE ROLLING, WE WERE MOVING,

BUT I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING,

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SAWMILL AND THE ROPES AND STUFF,

SO THAT WAS KIND OF WHERE MY FOCUS WAS AT.

AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS JUST KIND OF

DRIVING THROUGH THE WILDERNESS AIMLESSLY.

OKAY, GUYS. LET'S STOP HERE.

YEAH, WE MADE IT.

WE MADE IT. I THINK I MADE IT.

YOU KNOW, MY LITTLE MENTAL EPISODES,

THEY JUST KIND OF LAST AS LONG AS THEY LAST

AND THEN THEY'RE GONE.

YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF LIKE A BAD DREAM.

YOU JUST KIND OF WAKE UP, YOU KNOW, AND THERE YOU ARE,

SO I WAS STARTING TO FEEL BETTER

AND I WAS STARTING TO GO, LIKE, "OKAY, YOU KNOW, THAT --

THE ACCIDENT'S THE ACCIDENT, THE SAWMILL'S THE SAWMILL,

AND I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEPARATE THESE ISSUES OUT

IF I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO THIS SUMMER,"

SO YOU JUST GOT TO KIND OF DIG DEEP

AND TRY TO SHAKE THROUGH THE FOG

SO I CAN KIND OF GET BACK ON TASK WITH

THE REST OF THE PROJECT THAT WE NEEDED TO FINISH.

IT'S RIGHT EXACTLY LINED UP LIKE I'D LIKE TO SEE IT.

I THINK IT'S ALL VERY GOOD.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK AHEAD, BUT GETTING THE SAWMILL

ON THE PROPERTY IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD,

BECAUSE NOW WE'RE GOING TO START MAKING LUMBER WITH THIS SAWMILL.

GOOD JOB, BY THE WAY, GENTLEMEN.

YEAH, GOOD JOB. I'M GLAD WE GOT IT HERE.

YEAH. WHAT A DEAL.

Narrator: OUT ON KACHEMAK BAY, ATZ LEE'S COUSIN EIVIN,

HIS DAD OTTO, AND WIFE CHARLOTTE

ARE APPROACHING THE NANUK PILOTHOUSE.

Eivin: THERE IT IS, CHARLOTTE. THERE'S YOUR HONEYMOON SHACK.

WE'RE COMING TO RESCUE IT.

Otto: I MET CHARLOTTE ON THAT BOAT WITHIN THAT HOUSE,

AND I'M HOPING IT'S GOT A LOT OF GOOD LIFE LEFT.

THERE'S THE OLD HOUSE.

YEAH. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Eivin: ♪ THE LOVE SHACK ♪

IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS A LITTLE TLC.

YEAH, IT LOOKS PRETTY, UH -- PRETTY WEATHERED.

YEAH.

Charlotte: THE NANUK HOUSE HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT

SITTING THERE ON THE BEACH FOR 12 YEARS.

IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE A MESS.

BUT I DO FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO RESTORE IT.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE CHALLENGING

BUT I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.

Otto: CHARLOTTE, I'M -- CAN YOU STAY UP ON THE HOUSE

AND KEEP THE BOAT GOING STRAIGHT?

YEP.

YEAH, GO AHEAD AND GET OFF AND START GOING UP THERE.

Eivin: I THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO GO PRETTY WELL.

JUST PICK UP THIS ONE OLD BOATHOUSE

AND SET IT ON THE CONSTRUCTOR AND GET OUT OF THERE.

IT SHOULD BE A QUICK TRIP.

Otto: WELL, I'M THINKING -- YOU GET WHAT I'M THINKING,

RIGHT, A TRIANGLE OFF EACH CORNER?

YEAH.

IT'LL EITHER COME UNDER OR AROUND.

YEAH. I THINK IT'LL WORK REALLY WELL.

YEAH. IF IT'LL PICK IT.

Eivin: THE NANUK HOUSE HAS A TRIPOD THAT SITS ON TOP OF IT,

AND THAT USED TO BE WHERE THE RADAR EQUIPMENT WAS

AND THE RADIO ANTENNAS, AND THE IDEA IS THAT

WE CAN PROBABLY JUST TAKE CHAINS FROM THE BUCKET OF THE EXCAVATOR

AND TIE 'EM UP TO THE RIGGING AND JUST PICK THE HOUSE UP

BY THAT TRIPOD SITTING ON TOP OF IT

AND THEN JUST SWING AROUND AND DROP IT ON THE DECK

OF THE -- OF THE CONSTRUCTOR.

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

IT'S TOO HEAVY, MAN.

Otto: PILOTHOUSE WEIGHS MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WEIGHED.

I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIGHING IN AROUND 10,000 POUNDS

AND I'M FAIRLY SURE THIS EXCAVATOR CAN PICK IT UP.

THAT'S AMAZING.

THAT'S HEAVIER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS.

I'VE NEVER RUN INTO ANYTHING

THAT THIS MACHINE CAN'T PICK UP YET.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

EIVIN'S GOT HER CRANKED UP ALL THE WAY,

HE'S GOT THE HYDRAULICS PULLED UP,

AND WE CANNOT PICK THIS HOUSE WITH THIS MACHINE.

WE'RE SCREWED.

MAYBE WE CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY.

SON OF A BITCH.

Narrator: OVER TEN MILES FROM THE HOMESTEAD,

OTTO, CHARLOTTE, AND EIVIN STRUGGLE TO RESCUE

THE NANUK PILOTHOUSE.

IF THEY CANNOT SECURE IT

AND GET IT OFF THE BEACH BEFORE THE TIDE GOES OUT,

THEY'LL BE FORCED TO ABANDON THE RESCUE.

Otto: OKAY. COME DOWN HERE AND TAKE A LOOK.

IF WE DROVE UP TO IT LIKE THIS...

YEAH.

AND HAD TWO CHAINS GOING UP TO THERE...

UH-HUH. WHERE IT WOULD PICK,

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE OVER THE OTHER SIDE PICKING UP.

UH-HUH. CAN WE TRY IT?

YEAH. WE'VE GOT NOT MUCH TO LOSE.

YOU WANT TO GO UP AND UNDER THE RIGGING?

YEAH.

Otto: WE'VE GOT ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THE TIDE'S GOING OUT.

I'VE GOT TO MAKE SOME FAST DECISIONS

BECAUSE I CAN'T LEAVE THE BOAT WHERE IT IS.

IF THE WEATHER COMES UP AND A STORM COMES IN

WITH THE NEXT TIDE, WE COULD LOSE THE BOAT.

SO, EIVIN, WE'VE GOT TO GO

PLUMB DOWN HERE TO THE BOTTOM, HUH?

I FEEL LIKE WE CAN PUT THE BOOM UP

OVER THE TOP OF THE RIGGING.

THAT PART OF THE BOOM IS VERY, VERY STRONG.

WE COULD PROBABLY LIFT 20,000 POUNDS

WITH THAT RIGHT THERE.

YEAH, THAT'LL WORK, EIVIN. NOW WHAT?

WELL, AND THEN I'M THINKING THIS SIDE HERE

WILL PROBABLY JUST HOOK RIGHT TO A TOOTH.

NOW ALL THE BUCKET HAS TO PICK UP

IS 5,000 POUNDS, HALF THE HOUSE.

SO IF THE BUCKET CAN PICK UP HALF THE HOUSE,

THE BOOM CAN PICK UP THE OTHER HALF.

Eivin: OKAY.

NOW WE'RE PICKING UP THE BOATHOUSE

IN A MUCH STRONGER PLACE WITH A LOT MORE LEVERAGE,

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED,

BUT I THINK THAT IT COULD WORK.

BOOM UP, STICK UP.

NO, STICK UP.

WE'RE UP.

HEY, THAT'S NOT BAD!

Charlotte: IT WAS VERY COOL TO SEE THAT THE HOUSE LIFTED UP,

BUT YOU REALIZED HOW MUCH WEIGHT THERE WAS THERE

AND HOW PRECARIOUS IT WAS AND THE IDEA THAT THAT

NOW HAD TO COME DOWN ONTO THE CONSTRUCTOR

WAS JUST FRIGHTENING.

Narrator: MEANWHILE, SEVEN MILES OUT ON KACHEMAK BAY,

EIVIN'S WIFE EVE, TOGETHER WITH JANE,

LOOK TO CATCH SOME FRESH FISH FOR THE HOMESTEAD.

Jane: GOING DEEP.

WELL, THE BIRDS ARE HERE, SO THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

Eve: ARE THOSE SOME OTTERS OVER THERE?

OTTERS ARE A REALLY GOOD SIGN BECAUSE THEY EAT SALMON.

WELL, YEAH, LOOKIT. THERE'S A FEW OTTERS OUT HERE.

OH. WE'VE GOT -- OH, WOW! THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD!

OH! WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

[ LAUGHS ]

WHAT DID WE GET?

I'VE GOT A COD THAT WE CAN KEEP. IT'S A SMALL ONE.

HERE HE IS. SWEET!

WE'RE STILL IN BUSINESS. I LIKE COD.

OKAY. AWESOME.

SWEET!

WELL, THEY'RE OUT THERE. THEY'RE OUT THERE.

WE JUST NEED A BIGGER FISH.

I CAUGHT A SMALLER FISH,

BUT THERE ARE BIG ONES OUT THERE,

AND, YOU KNOW, A HEALTHY,

NICE KING SALMON, THAT'S WHY WE'RE OUT THERE.

WE WANT ONE OF THOSE BAD BOYS.

FISH ON.

THIS IS FIGHTING BETTER THAN ANY FISH TODAY.

IT'S A BIG ONE, HUH?

OKAY. I'VE GOT THE NET.

IT'S A NICE KING. OKAY.

Jane: GOT IT IN! GET IT! YES.

OH! OH! WE GOT IT.

OH, MY GOD!

YEAH! LOOK AT THAT THING!

THERE IS A KING SALMON.

YAY! JANE! OH, RIGHT ON.

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK.

YEAH! WOO! WOW!

Jane: I'M JUST HAPPY WE'RE CATCHING.

WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING HOME WITH FISH FOR DINNER.

AND, LIKE, THE BEST FISH FOR DINNER, KING SALMON.

MAYBE, UM,

WE'LL JUST TRY ONE MORE SPOT ON THE WAY HOME?

YEAH, THERE'S DEFINITELY LIKE A NICE TROLLING SPOT

THAT I LIKE CLOSER TO HOME.

COOL.

[ ENGINE REVVING ]

[ ENGINE STOPS ]

GOD. THE ENGINE JUST DIED.

WELL, HERE, LET'S TRY TO RESTART IT.

[ ENGINE CRANKING ]

[ ENGINE CRANKING ]

NOTHING.

[ ENGINE CRANKING ]

[ ENGINE CRANKING ]

IT IS NOT STARTING, JANE.

Jane: I DON'T KNOW MOTORS.

EVE DOESN'T KNOW MOTORS.

I COULD LOOK AT A MOTOR ALL DAY LONG

AND I PROBABLY CAN'T FIGURE THAT THING OUT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR MOTOR,

BUT I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO GET US HOME.

WELL, NOBODY WANTS TO BE STUCK ON A BOAT

IN ALASKA IN OPEN WATER,

JUST 'CAUSE THE WEATHER CAN CHANGE ON YOU.

IT'S NOT A GOOD SITUATION AT ALL.

WELL, I KNOW OTTO AND EIVIN ARE TOGETHER TODAY

ON THE CONSTRUCTOR,

SO WE SHOULD TRY RADIOING THEM FIRST.

IT IS A VERY SMALL BOAT.

IT DOESN'T HANDLE IN ROUGH WEATHER VERY WELL AT ALL.

NOW THAT I HAVE A LITTLE BABY AND THE TWO-YEAR-OLD

THAT I NEED TO GET BACK TO, THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING

STUCK OUT THERE WITH A BROKEN ENGINE,

IT'S TERRIFYING TO ME.

CONSTRUCTOR, THIS IS EVE AND JANE.

WE ARE DEAD IN THE WATER.

OTTO, EIVIN, DO YOU COPY?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE NEAR THE RADIO.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

THIS CORNER PULLS UP.

I JUST PUT A LITTLE TENSION ON IT,

AND BEFORE THE BUILDING EVEN SHIFTED,

THIS CORNER CAME UP.

CONSTRUCTOR, THIS IS EVE. DO YOU COPY?

OTTO, EIVIN, DO YOU COPY?

NOTHING.

Jane: WE'RE PROBABLY SIX MILES FROM HOME.

WE DO HAVE FLARES AND A RADIO,

SO WE'RE HOPING BETWEEN ONE OF THE TWO,

SOMEBODY'LL FIND US.

CONSTRUCTOR, THIS IS EVE AND JANE.

DO YOU COPY?

Narrator: ON THE BEACH, JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF KACHEMAK BAY,

UNABLE TO HEAR THE DISTRESS CALL FROM THE FISHING BOAT...

OTTO, EIVIN, DO YOU COPY?

...OTTO AND SON EIVIN WORK TOGETHER

ON THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THEIR RESCUE MISSION.

Eivin: PICKING UP THE BOATHOUSE WAS DEFINITELY HALF THE BATTLE,

BUT NOW WE ARE TRYING TO MANEUVER THE WHOLE MACHINE,

EXCAVATOR, AND THE BOATHOUSE

DOWN A VERY STEEP BANK, GET EVERYTHING TURNED AROUND

AND LOADED PERFECTLY STRAIGHT ON THE BOAT.

YOU'RE KIND OF ON A HUMP OVER HERE.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO DOWN VERY CAREFULLY.

COME BACK VERY CAREFULLY.

YOU'RE DOING REAL GOOD.

OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE GOING UP THE RAMP.

Eivin: AT THIS POINT, I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT

ONE OF THESE CHAINS SNAPPING.

IT'S A TON OF WEIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS THING WEIGHS,

BUT WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S A LOT MORE THAN WE EXPECTED IT TO BE.

Otto: YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO OVER THE EDGE.

BOY, YOU'RE ON YOUR TIPPY-TOES.

OH! KAY.

THAT WAY A LITTLE.

STRAIGHT BACK.

WHOA!

FANTASTIC.

THAT'S FRICKING AMAZING WE'VE GOT IT AT ALL.

Eivin: I KNOW.

Otto: WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OFF THIS BEACH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

WE'VE GOT NOT A MOMENT TO SPARE.

WE'VE GOT THE HOUSE ON THE CONSTRUCTOR.

AND NOW WE'RE ON TO THE NEXT MISSION --

GET THE HECK OFF THE BEACH NOW.

LET'S GO, LET'S GO!

THE BOAT'S GOING DRY!

Otto: NOW WE'RE TAKING THE OLD NANUK HOUSE HOME TO LIVE AGAIN.

Narrator: DEEP IN THE ALASKAN WILDERNESS, ATZ LEE, HIS FATHER ATZ SR.,

AND NEIGHBOR JOHN COILA

HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MOVED THE SAWMILL

TO THE NEW HOME SITE.

NOW THAT WE HAVE THE MILL ALL SET UP

AND REALLY PRETTY MUCH READY

TO START CRANKING OUT SOME MORE BOARDS,

THE THING THAT WOULD BENEFIT YOU GUYS THE MOST

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, RAIN, SNOW,

EVERYTHING ELSE, IS A SHELTER AND A ROOF KIND OF OVER YOU.

UH-HUH. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE

A HECK OF A LOT, JUST SOMETHING TO

KEEP YOU PROTECTED FROM THE WEATHER.

AWESOME, AND THEN WE WON'T HAVE TO

WORRY ABOUT RAIN AND SUN AND...

AND SNOW AND ALL THE STUFF THAT MAKES IT MISERABLE FOR MILLING.

YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MANY DAYS

AND WEEKS I'M GOING TO BE RUNNING THAT SAWMILL,

TO TAKE THE TIME TO BUILD SOME KIND OF STRUCTURE

THAT WILL KEEP ME OUT OF THE WIND

AND THE RAIN AND THE SUN, IT'S GOING TO BE WORTH IT.

Atz: IF YOU BUILD A FREE STRUCTURE ABOVE GROUND,

A WIND COULD'VE JUST TAKEN THAT THING

JUST LIKE AN AIRPLANE AND JUST TOSSED IT OVER,

SO HE DECIDED TO USE AN OLD CHAIN,

USE THE CHAIN SAW, CUT THROUGH THE FROST.

HE CAME ALONG WITH A POST HOLE DIGGER

AND WENT DOWN A COUPLE OF FEET.

THERE'S NO WIND GOING TO BLOW THAT OUT OF THERE.

NICE.

THERE WE GO.

John: OKAY.

NOW, LET'S LOOK AT HOW TALL WE MIGHT WANT 'EM TO BE.

ONCE WE GOT THE HOLES ALL DUG OUT,

THE NEXT STEP IS TO GO GET THE POLES.

WE NEED SIX UPRIGHT POLES

AND THEN WE NEED THREE PRETTY LONG 20-FOOT POLES

AND WE NEEDED A COUPLE OF CROSS POLES,

SO I'M THINKING, "THIS IS A GOOD STACK OF POLES WE NEED HERE."

I'LL FIND SOME GOOD ONES THAT AREN'T TOO HEAVY

TO LIFT UP BUT BIG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT WHAT WE'RE DOING.

Atz: JOHN AND I STAYED BACK TO MILL SOME BOARDS FOR THE ROOF.

[ ENGINE STARTS ]

AND ATZ WENT OFF TO CUT SOME POLES.

HE KNEW THE LENGTHS AND THE DIAMETER

OF THE POLES HE WAS LOOKING FOR

AND JOHN AND I TALKED IT OVER AND DECIDED,

"EH, LET HIM DO IT ON HIS OWN,

KIND OF TRY HIS WINGS OUT THERE BY HIMSELF,"

AND IF HE NEEDS HELP, HE'LL COME GET IT.

[ SIGHS ]

OKAY, LET'S SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE.

[ GRUNTS ]

DEFINITELY WOULD'VE BEEN EASIER LOOKING FOR POLES

WITH THREE PEOPLE, BUT, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE ALL THE TIME,

SO I'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DO STUFF ON MY OWN

AND IT'S ALL PHYSICAL THERAPY IN THE END.

COME ON, LITTLE BUDDY.

LET'S FELL SOME TREES.

LET'S START WITH THIS ONE.

BODY'S HANGING IN THERE.

IT'S JUST GRAB A CHAIN SAW AND YOU HEAD OUT,

"OKAY, I'M GOING TO CUT SOME TREES DOWN,"

AND YOU JUST REALIZE, LIKE,

"MAN, I'M STUMBLING OVER MY FEET."

HOLD ON. UH...

HAVING A HARD TIME, JUST EXHAUSTED,

STAMINA'S NOT THERE, AND THERE'S MOMENTS

OF FRUSTRATION FOR SURE, MOMENTS OF PAIN,

BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO

BESIDES JUST DEAL WITH IT.

YOU'VE GOT TO JUST KEEP PUSHING FORWARD

AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

THAT'LL WORK.

THAT'LL WORK.

I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT I'VE GOT

THIS MASSIVE TASK AND THE FACT THAT

JANE'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO WANT TO MOVE OUT HERE,

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE POLE BARN STRUCTURE

THAT JUST REALLY MAKES IT FEEL LIKE

WE'RE IN HIGH PRODUCTION NOW.

WE'RE HERE. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

Narrator: 42 MILES FROM THE NEW HOMESTEAD,

IN THE MIDDLE OF KACHEMAK BAY,

ATZ LEE'S WIFE JANE, ALONG WITH EVE,

ARE STILL STRANDED ON THEIR BOAT.

CONSTRUCTOR, THIS IS EVE AND JANE.

DO YOU COPY?

Jane: EVE'S TRYING OTTO AND EIVIN ON THE RADIO

AND THEY'RE NOT PICKING UP.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

THEY'RE OUT ON THE WATER SOMEWHERE,

BUT THEY'RE NOT PICKING UP.

OTTO, EIVIN, DO YOU COPY?

OH, IT'S CHARLOTTE.

HEY, CHARLOTTE. WE ARE HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.

EVE, IS THAT YOU?

YEAH, WE ARE BROKEN DOWN HERE

AND NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.

HANG ON JUST A MINUTE, LET ME GO YELL FOR EIVIN.

EIVIN! WHAT?

I'VE GOT EVE ON THE RADIO HERE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE HER BOAT'S BROKEN DOWN OR SOMETHING.

COME ON IN AND TALK TO HER.

Eivin: I'D KNOWN THAT EVE AND JANE WENT FISHING TODAY,

AND FROM THE WAY CHARLOTTE TOLD ME

THAT EVE WAS ON THE RADIO,

I DEFINITELY KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG

AND I KIND OF STARTED THINKING THE WORST.

WHERE -- WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?

Eve: WE ARE ABOUT FIVE MILES

BETWEEN GLACIER SPIT AND THE HOMESTEAD.

WE'LL SHOOT A FLARE OFF SO HE CAN SEE IT.

YEP. WE'LL SHOOT A FLARE OFF SO YOU GUYS CAN SEE US.

GIVE US ONE MINUTE HERE SO WE GET OUT ON THE BOW

AND LOOKING AROUND BEFORE YOU SHOOT THAT FLARE.

MY DAD WILL TELL YOU WHEN.

ROGER, COPY THAT.

Otto: SO EIVIN'S OUT UP ON FRONT OF THE BOAT WITH BINOCULARS.

HE'S GOING TO LOOK AROUND.

COULD THAT BE IT?

OKAY, YOU CAN SHOOT ONE OFF ANY OLD TIME.

Eve: HOPE YOU GUYS SEE IT.

Otto: OKAY, WE'VE GOT ALL KIND OF EYEBALLS LOOKING OUT NOW.

GOSH, IT'S HARD TO SEE.

YEAH.

IT'S AMAZING HOW HARD IT IS TO SPOT A BOAT OUT IN THIS WATER.

EVE SET OFF A FLARE AND WE COULDN'T SEE IT.

THE WAY THE SKY WAS AND -- AND DAYLIGHT,

TELL YOU WHAT, DAMN GOOD THING THEIR BOAT WASN'T SINKING,

'CAUSE THE FLARE WAS JUST BASICALLY INVISIBLE.

Charlotte: CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING, EIVIN?

Eivin: I DON'T SEE ANYTHING YET.

Otto: STILL CAN'T SEE YA.

Jane: IT'S SCARY AND IT'S INTIMIDATING

AND NO MATTER WHAT, IF THE WEATHER CHANGES,

THAT COULD MAKE IT DANGEROUS.

WE'VE GOT ALL EYES ON DECK.

Eivin: THERE'S DEFINITELY THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM

HEADING IN THE COMPLETE WRONG DIRECTION

AND HEAD FURTHER OUT TO SEA INSTEAD OF GOING HOME,

AND THAT'S JUST TERRIFYING.

Eve: ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN STRANDED ON A BOAT,

BUT I KNOW A GUY THAT WAS ON A BOAT.

HE WAS STRANDED HALFWAY FROM YUKON ISLAND TO THE SPIT

AND HE DRIFTED FOR THREE DAYS.

HE WENT ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE BARREN ISLANDS,

'CAUSE IT WAS AN EAST WIND BLOWING.

AND THEN THE DAMN WEATHER CHANGED

AND THE WEST WINDS BLEW UP AND THE TIDES CHANGED

AND IT BLEW HIM ALL THE FREAKING WAY BACK IN,

ALMOST EXACTLY WHERE HE'D COME FROM.

HE WAS FREAKED.

SURVIVAL IS THE NAME OF THE GAME HERE,

I GUESS WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVE FLARES.

CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION.

[ FLARE GUN FIRES ]

Narrator: HIGH IN THE HILLS ABOVE THE HEAD OF THE BAY,

ATZ LEE RETURNS FROM THE WOODS WITH RENEWED DETERMINATION.

TOGETHER, HE, FATHER ATZ SR.,

AND JOHN COILA HAVE A PLAN TO KEEP THE SAWMILL WORKING,

NO MATTER WHAT MOTHER NATURE THROWS AT THEM.

AT THIS POINT, BUILDING THE STRUCTURE'S KIND OF,

YOU KNOW, JOHN'S DESIGN. I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE.

SO BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO GET SOME POSTS,

PUT SOME LOGS ON TOP OF THOSE,

AND THEN COVER THE STRUCTURE WITH A TARP.

IF IT WAS ANY MORE PERFECT,

WE'D HAVE TO TAKE PICTURES OF IT.

WHEN WE GET TO THIS MONUMENTAL PLACE,

GETTING ATZ LEE'S HOMESTEAD GOING THIS EARLY IN THE SEASON,

IT IS A WONDERFUL FEELING.

NOT BAD, GENTLEMEN.

IT'D BE EASY NOW TO THROW THE OTHERS UP THERE.

I'M PROUD OF ALL OF US.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'M PROUD OF MY SON.

WE ALL HAVE CHALLENGES.

HIS CHALLENGE IS HOW IS HE MENTALLY,

EMOTIONALLY DEALING WITH STRESS?

HOW'S HIS BODY HOLDING UP?

OH, YEAH. WE'RE GOOD.

GREAT. BUT HE'S HEALING

BEING IN CLOSER TOUCH WITH THE WILDERNESS,

AND I'M HAPPY TO BE A PART OF IT.

AND YOU FOUND THE SOFT SPOT IN THE POLE.

THREE, TWO, ONE. YES. YEAH.

LET'S JUST STRETCH THE TARP OVER AND GET A FEEL FOR IT.

Atz Lee: EVERYTHING'S COMING TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NO LONGER JUST A DREAM.

THIS THING HAS BEEN TAKING A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY,

AND TO FINALLY SEE IT START TO COME TO FRUITION,

IT'S JUST AN AWESOME FEELING.

I KNOW THAT IT'S PUT MY MARRIAGE THROUGH A LOT OF STRAIN.

I KNOW THAT I'VE GOT A LONG WAYS TO GO BEFORE I COMPLETE IT.

BUT AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW,

I'M JUST THANKFUL FOR THE PEOPLE THAT'VE HELPED

AND I FEEL LIKE I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

ANOTHER DAY WE'VE GOT SOME WORK ACCOMPLISHED

TOWARDS THE END RESULT, THE HOUSE.

Narrator: 40 MILES AWAY,

IN THE MIDDLE OF KACHEMAK BAY,

OTTO, CHARLOTTE, AND EIVIN DESPERATELY

SEARCH THE SKIES FOR JANE AND EVE'S FLARES.

WE ONLY HAVE ONE FLARE LEFT.

I REALLY HOPE THEY SEE IT THIS TIME,

BECAUSE I'M REALLY NOT SURE

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AFTER THIS.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

THERE IT IS. DO YOU SEE IT, EIVIN?

THERE IT IS!

HOLY MOLY. WE'VE GOT A BEARING.

DID YOU JUST SEE THAT? I SAW IT. YEAH.

I'LL TURN.

YEAH, WE SEE YA, WE SEE YA.

YEE-HAW! THAT'S EXCITING.

THEY SEE US. THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.

HALLELUJAH.

COMING HOME.

Jane: KNOWING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS THAT WE'RE IN,

THAT OUR FISH ARE GOING TO BE SAVED,

IT'S A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF.

Eve: AWESOME! YEE-HAW!

THEY LOOK PRETTY HAPPY TO SEE US.

[ LAUGHS ]

Eve: IT'S REALLY EXCITING WHEN THE CONSTRUCTOR PULLS UP

AND WE FINALLY THROW THE LINE TO THEM.

BEING CONNECTED TO A BIG, SAFE BOAT

THAT HAS ENGINES WORKING IS REALLY EXCITING.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE EIVIN, JUST KNOW THAT WE ARE SO LUCKY

THAT WE'VE GOT SO MUCH FAMILY AROUND TO HELP.

Otto: YEAH, I'M GOING TO LIFT IT UP NOW.

Eivin: IT'S A MAJOR RELIEF TO KNOW THAT EVE IS SAFE AND SECURE,

AND IT'S DEFINITELY A REMINDER

THAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO RELY ON YOUR FAMILY

TO BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM.

SO EVERYBODY JUST GO TO THE BEACH?

LET'S FINISH THIS DAY.

TALLY-HO. LET'S KEEP GOING.

NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THE GIRLS,

WE'VE GOT TO TAKE THE NANUK HOUSE

AND BRING IT BACK TO KILCHER BEACH.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO KIND OF STOP THE CONSTRUCTOR.

WE'LL TRY TO LOWER THE BOAT BACK IN THE WATER.

Eivin: WE TIED THE LITTLE BOAT ALONGSIDE THE CONSTRUCTOR

AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CONSTRUCTOR

INTO THE BEACH TO START UNLOADING

ALL THE STUFF THAT WE HAD ONBOARD.

OKAY, HERE WE GO. GOING UP!

Otto: THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S GOOD.

Eivin: HERE WE GO!

Otto: NOW ALL WE'VE GOT TO DO IS GET THE HOUSE OFF THE BOAT...

Jane: LOOKS GOOD FROM HERE.

PUT THE HOUSE UP ABOVE THE HIGH-TIDE LINE

SO IT'S FACING THE OCEAN.

Eivin: PRETTY DAMN SKETCHY FOR A HONEYMOON SHACK.

Otto: SHE'LL BE AS BRIGHT AND SHINY AS A NEWLYWED

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

Eivin: GETTING THE NANUK HOUSE

OFF THE BOAT WENT PRETTY SMOOTHLY.

WE RIGGED IT UP THE EXACT SAME WAY

THAT WE RIGGED IT TO GET IT ON THE BOAT,

AND AT THAT POINT, I THINK I HAD A PRETTY GOOD IDEA

OF HOW TO OPERATE THE EXCAVATOR SO THAT WE COULD

GET IT MOVED INTO PLACE REALLY EASILY.

OVER THERE FOR NOW?

THAT WAY.

JUST A LITTLE MORE.

OKAY, STOP.

NOT BAD.

I THINK THAT'S ABOUT AS GOOD AS WE'RE GOING TO GET IT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO WORK ON.

OKAY. SO BACK OUT.

Otto: IT LOOKS GREAT,

AND THE FINAL TEST WILL BE WHEN IT MAKES PEOPLE SAFE.

THEN WE'LL KNOW WE DID THE RIGHT THING.

LOOKS GOOD, DAD. I'M GLAD WE'VE GOT IT HERE.

YEAH.

Charlotte: I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO FIX IT UP,

AND IT'S JUST GOING TO BE AWESOME

TO HAVE THAT HOUSE BACK IN OUR LIVES

AND ACCESSIBLE TO US.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU

AND EIVIN DID TO GET THIS THING HERE.

Otto: WE'VE BEEN A GOOD TEAM,

AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE FAMILY.

WE REALLY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER.

MAYBE HANG A PIRATE'S FLAG ON IT.

YEAH! KILCHER CREST.

JOLLY ROGER. HOW 'BOUT THE KILCHER CREST?

LET'S GO HOME.

Eve: YEP. LET'S EAT SOME FISH.
