We're way out west. Way, way west.

Definitely not for the faint of heart out here.

It's a big storm. It's starting to blow.

It's going to blow 70.

This storm's from Taiwan called Kong-rey. R-E-Y.

It's just coming up on us right here.

You can see.

We begin with updates on Typhoon Kong-rey,

which has been sweeping across Taiwan.

Typhoon Kong-rey is packing quite a punch.

Alaska is bracing

for one of the most powerful storms

to hit the state in over a decade.

It's going to get big and bigger and bigger.

Well, if the cannery needs us in just a few days,

and we don't have any way around it,

we've got to pull these pots.

Watch out, watch out, watch out.

Hang on, hang on.

Hang on!

Welcome to Kong-rey.

These guys have got to be 30-footers,

and they're curling.

I need to drop off the medical supplies.

You think it's a good idea?

No, I think it's a [bleep] idea,

but we're going to do it.

Don't get nobody hurt.

Just gotta not get anybody hurt, God.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Watch out, watch out.

Look at that wave, holy [bleep].

No, no, no!

A lot of guys wouldn't quit, you know.

We're not the kind of guys that quit.

Stay strong, boys.

That's a typhoon.

Typhoon Kong-rey.

King Kong, what a name.

All right, everybody. About 10 minutes.

Just remember, this is why we do this job,

because no one else can.

The problem with our refrigeration system

is fixed.

It was just a bad situation all the way around.

But the last good sign was to the northeast,

so I'm grabbing my gear and I'm heading up there.

Clear!

Watch out!

Careful!

In a typhoon, you can only set two ways,

with it or against it.

I'm setting with it.

But if a wave comes over,

what it does is it pushes the boat on her side,

boom, and hits her square on the side,

flooding the forepeak, sinking the boat.

Oh, man, look at that.

This is huge.

There you go.

She sways back and forth.

Damn.

Be careful of this one coming right here.

Watch out!

You guys ready?

- Roger. - Yeah, roger!

Going over.

Did you see that?

- It took that shot like... - [bleep]

...nothing!

It's so majestic,

but so dangerous.

It's like getting in a cage with a lion.

Hang on.

Here comes a big one.

Oh [bleep], that's a 25 footer right there.

Okay, watch the rail, watch the rail.

Watch out, watch out, watch out!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa. Woo!

Yee-haw!

Very big wave.

We get down in the valley, we disappear.

Going over.

Watch out!

Oh, I got one.

Do it, boys!

Go, go, go, go!

Holy [bleep].

That's a [bleep] monster wave.

Okay, watch out. Watch out. Just watch out.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

Oh, my God.

We're okay.

Yeah, good.

Roger.

We've got to be careful.

And Skipper up there is watching out for us.

You know, he's our third eye.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[bleep] this.

[bleep] the wave, buddy!

We're hanging on for dear life.

All right, guys, we're going to do an emergency set.

Set 'em as fast as you can.

Roger.

I'm just dumping 'em now.

I want my crew inside and safe.

I don't give a [bleep] where they land.

There's no strategy behind it.

Going over.

This is strictly survival right now.

Come on, guys. Move, move, move.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

I got it. Watch out. Watch out.

I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it.

It takes one mistake to die out here.

Hopefully there's something here.

Watch the wheel for me, honey.

- You're in charge. - No.

It's your boat right now.

Look at that one coming.

Oh, my God.

Johnathan!

Johnathan!

Heather!

It's fine.

Oh, my God.

The storm, it's not even funny.

It's from Taiwan, called Kong-rey.

It's a typhoon.

We're going to be right in the center.

So just be safe.

We'll get through it. It's going to be slow.

"I'm going to kill..."

"We go out in the storm and kill crab."

- Roger. - "That is all."

Okay, man.

Thank you, Captain.

We call this boat the Tin Man.

You know, The Wizard of Oz,

Tin Man needed a heart,

well, this boat,

this Tin Man's got a heart.

Big heart.

And no storm's going to stop this Tin Man.

His heart's too big.

Woo! Look at that.

All's we need is a 20 average

out of these two strings.

Oh!

Yee-haw!

Roger.

Come to papa!

Keep going, Fred! Keep going!

Come on, baby.

- Keep going, keep going! - That's a good one.

That's a good one.

Whoa!

We'll, uh, dump it back.

Roger!

Chop, chop, chop, chop.

19 to go.

Yeah.

Yeah, baby.

There it is.

Let's go, baby.

Yeah!

Hang on. Hang on, guys. Hang on.

Hang on, watch out!

Woo!

Four-zero. 49. 49!

49, baby!

That's two.

Set that back.

Woo, getting through this.

Getting through this, Heather.

Yeah, baby.

The Tin man. The Time Bandit.

Big weather slows us down, but don't stop us.

Yeah, baby!

Come on, baby. Keep it coming.

Just watch out, guys.

Okay? Watch out, guys.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, [bleep] yeah!

Hang on, Teddy!

Good boat. Good boat. Good boat.

Oh, my God.

Nice Tin Man.

Look at that wave. Holy [bleep].

That's a big one.

Hang on. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out.

[bleep]

Down, down, down!

That's a big...

Okay? Watch out, guys.

You guys okay?

Way too close.

It's getting worse out here.

I don't know if we're going to finish this one.

Ugly out here!

You guys want to stop?

You want to keep fishing?

Can't stop now.

My guys won't let me.

Wow.

One left here.

Be careful.

Good job, guys. Thank you. Thank you.

We got one string down.

We got one to go.

It's getting worse.

Definitely not for the faint of heart out here.

The Bering Sea wants to keep its bounty.

Sorry, Bering Sea. We got other plans.

Oh, yeah, baby!

Yeah!

I wish you could see my toes in my shoes.

They're, like, clenched.

So we're just starting to get more wind

on the side of Typhoon Kong-rey.

We're going to get our ass kicked here.

Not so good.

Yeah, that's what we were looking for.

- Yeah! - Woo!

Don't overdrive.

You just let the waves push you over.

Woo!

Yeah, baby!

You got it, and that's perfect.

Oh, here we go!

Nice work, Bob.

- I can barely breathe. - You got 'em.

Last one in.

In the block.

Shake it like a salt shaker!

We'll take this gear

and we'll switch it over northwest

and we'll set with the weather.

Aleutian Lady, got you here.

Hey, Todd, you got me on here?

Yeah, Ricky. I got you.

Yeah, rog.

He is wrong direction.

That is not good.

What's it looking like?

I mean, they're a good 12 hours,

maybe 16 hours away from us.

Yeah. Hey, Todd, I'm going to head towards you.

I'll go full speed.

But I need you to head towards us, too.

You finally find out where the crab are,

and they're going to keep moving,

and we're going to lose them.

All right, guys. We got to make a turn.

Things are going to get rough.

Roger.

Having this gear on deck is really going to hurt.

What if we dump the gear off on the way over?

Going full speed in this kind of weather...

it's not going to be fun.

What if we just set gear as the guys are ready,

and screw setting them

two-tenths of a mile apart, you know?

Set them half a mile apart,

or whatever the guys are ready to get them off the boat.

I mean, we're in roughly the same depth.

You think it's a good idea?

No, I think it's a [bleep] idea,

but we're going to do it.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa.

It's getting [bleep] out now.

And I think it's only progressively getting worse.

Watch out! Watch out!

Oh!

Watch out! Watch out!

Oh!

Oh, yeah, baby!

Yeah!

Are you okay?

Everybody okay out there?

Roger.

Yeah, hey, guys... uh, change of plans real quick.

We're going to sling these things off

as we're running over to the American Lady.

Meet up with the boat,

drop off the medical supplies.

So just keep your heads on a swivel.

When y'all are ready, we'll start dumping.

Yeah. Roger.

Bob had the idea to swing these pots off on the way.

It's not gonna be fun.

Heads on a swivel, guys.

These are gonna be the kind of waves

that hurt people and break things.

So we're gonna have to be ultra-careful.

Oh, here comes a good one.

Whoa, look out!

Watch the rail! Watch the rail!

Watch the rail!

Going over!

Over!

Holy [bleep]. Look out! Look out! Look out!

Whoa!

There's a big one.

Whoa!

Holy [bleep]!

Yeah, she's starting to get a bit nautical.

And it's just going to continue to build.

Going over.

Whoa. Holy [bleep]. Whoo!

Going over!

Ooh! Wow!

Rail, rail.

Whoa!

I need to get these pots off the boat.

Going over.

And hopefully turn our night around

and have it start going a little bit smooth,

because, um...

it's been everything but.

Whoa!

It's [bleep] nasty out, Jenna.

Aidan's birthday is going okay?

As I'm sitting out with the weather on the side

in 20-foot seas.

Mom, I wanna wait...

Oh, I'm so sorry I'm not there.

I didn't cover the ground I wanted to cover.

Well, here goes nothing.

First pot of the string.

Here we go.

Whoo-hoo!

If I don't get this crab to the dock soon,

we're all screwed.

First one's comin' up!

Oh, come on. Let me see it.

What have we got? What have we got?

Oh, yeah, baby!

We got some life.

We got some life!

Ooh, baby!

Money, money, money, money!

Whoo! 40 crabs. 4-0.

Boom shakalaka!

Whoo!

Yeah, baby!

Yeah!

[bleep], I'm having a hell of a time

trying to fight to... just keep the boat straight.

All the meanwhile, I have my wife.

And my son's birthday's going on right now.

So they're hearing all this [bleep].

Comin' atcha!

Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Keep going!

All keepers.

More, more, more, more.

Yeah, mang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!

Watch out!

Pot in!

Damn it!

It's big seas, 20-footers.

Get out of the way!

It's getting really difficult.

And this weather is not cooperating.

Hang on!

[bleep], what the [bleep]?

I got no rudder response. Felipe.

Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine. We--

What?

Stay away from the rail!

I just lost my steering.

What the [bleep]?

I just lost my steering.

What the [bleep]?

Steering is out.

Is everything okay?

That, and at the same time,

we lost our air.

So I have no throttles.

I'm sitting with the weather on the side in 20-foot seas.

Felipe is gonna be my eyes and ears

and tell me what's going on.

Where is he? Can I see him?

Nothing's broken.

Hey!

Let me see, buddy.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

We're getting beat up out here too, buddy.

Did you get it fixed?

Damn it!

Uh...

So it was the air hose that blew.

I was just driving and then just lost everything.

Felipe heard it, and he ran.

I'd better get off the phone.

I'll call after this string.

I love you, too.

Because I'm not just a captain.

I'm a father and a husband.

And my wife is basically a single parent.

I'm trying to be positive.

I'm trying to be upbeat.

I'm trying to do all the things that you're supposed to do.

So we have a long way to go before offload.

A lot of boats are girl boats.

Like the Northwestern, that's a woman.

It's just the Time Bandit.

It's the Tin Man. It's our buddy.

Gotta go check this second string.

That's just as bad as... almost worse.

Okay. This one should be right here.

- There it is right there. - Back that way. We're good.

Right back that way.

We gotta come way around.

To keep the guys safe,

I can't pull to the west

because it's blowing northerly and the--

the waves will be right on the open side of the boat.

But the buoys are hanging to the east,

so I have to do like a full circle around the whole mess

so I don't run the line over.

A chance that somebody could get hurt

because... you know,

when rogue waves are popping around out here.

It's really tricky driving.

Okay, coming around.

Coming up, Freddy.

If these hit, we can offload on time.

Booyah!

Yeah, baby!

That's a good pot. That's a good one, huh?

Four pots, or like five...

About 20.

- 24. - 24.

Yeah, baby!

Okay, dump them back, guys.

I love you, brother.

- I love you. - That's more than friggin' 400 pounds.

I love you. I love you.

Over!

Ay, ay, ay.

I got to find the next pot.

So I gotta-- every pot, I gotta...

God, Mama! Whoo!

Come on, crabbies.

Whoo! All right!

Gotta be careful. I just gotta go slow.

Maintain.

Neal, engine room!

[bleep]

Run it. Run it hard real quick.

Give me a second.

We've got problems.

Code Red right now.

Look.

I got Hansen hair everywhere.

Hansen!

You know, we had our problems, we've butted our heads,

but I sort of miss the guy.

He's got all that girly stuff.

He's got hair blowers and stuff in my bathroom.

I got my camera so I can see my hair.

Look all fuzzy.

It's sort of good to have him gone,

but I sort of miss him.

I could clone, Sig.

We don't need him anymore.

I could clone him right here.

I'll put that in an envelope and I'm gonna clone him.

The water goes down, it starts going like this,

and it just-- like a washing machine.

You need to turn a little bit and go into it.

If you don't get in your survival suits

and your life raft, you're dead.

It's good, bub.

Knock on wood.

Just got to really watch it.

There it goes.

I smelled something hot,

hot down there, like electrical.

Then it shorts out, and then it blows the breaker.

That's what breakers are for.

- Thank God I got you, Neal. - Always fun.

I'll keep hauling gear, then.

All right, Freddy.

Here we go, man!

We've been lucky out here.

We got angels flying behind us.

Whatever it takes.

Another boat out here,

who-- his crew was at the rail,

got wiped out by a wave and, uh...

got a big gash on his head.

We're going to stock them up

so they have everything they need.

Staples, stitches, glue, butterflies, gauze, lidocaine.

There they are.

- There they are! Whoo! - Oh, nice.

Yeah. Roger, I got you, man.

So you want to fall in behind me,

and I'll just slow down?

Roger that. Here she goes.

All right, let her go.

Let her go.

- Roger! - All right. Here we go.

She's away!

She's in. She's in.

There it is. There's the hook.

They missed.

They missed.

Pretty sure that's a miss and a spin-around.

There's the bags. I see them.

They're still in the water.

They get it?

By their stern.

You got her?

Yeah, rog, they got it, man.

- Nice work, guys. - Whoo!

Yeah!

Yeah, Bob had the idea to swing these pots off

on the way over to you, so.

It was ugly as hell,

but maybe we'll have something in them.

You mind?

Hey, Todd.

Can you tell me a story right now?

Yeah, thanks, Todd. I really appreciate that.

Those were some good stories.

I-- I appreciate a good story.

That's kind of all I got left now.

Normally, if you do a good deed,

karma kind of pays you back.

Let's hope this happens now.

Absolutely.

Find out in a couple more hours

if there's anything in these pots.

Whoo! Let's do this!

Okay, this is the last one.

Let's go get this one pretty.

We got one left here.

Let's do this for the count.

Wow!

Good job, guys.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm sweating up here.

Thank you, guys.

Time Bandit, aka Tin Man, didn't want us to give up.

Whoo-hoo!

We got our steering back,

so we're okay.

Now we get back to fishing.

Let's go!

Hey.

Whoo!

- Oh, God! - Ow!

Oh, my God, it's [bleep] loaded!

Look at this [bleep] thing.

Yeah, guys!

Thank you for sticking it out.

Getting there, buddy! Yeah!

Let's see what we get.

That's what we're here for.

Whoa, careful, boys.

Those are big.

Hell yeah! Let's do this!

Dude! How many there are!

Crab count, 88.

What's that? 88?

Eighty-eight, baby!

- Whoo! - Oh, yeah!

Let's keep it going.

Whoo-hoo!

- Bob. - What?

- Nice. - Nice work.

You found 'em.

And now we might have to move some more gear over here.

Hell yeah!

Hell, yeah. Apparently on some good fishin'!

It makes me feel good.
