Original subtitles

Well, it's time for me to head home.

I had a chance to start the season off out west,

but I think it's time for me to go home to the girls.

Yeah.

- All right... - Yeah.

Well, that's it.

Mandy's officially off the boat.

John and the Time Bandit and Mandy, she stepped up.

You got this?

A lot of pieces to this puzzle.

Ok, I love you.

But still, you know, fishing out here,

it's been a fight.

OK.

All right, guys, let's toss them.

Yeah, Roger!

And if you're not careful what you're doing,

you can get pinched in a hurry.

Whoa!

Get off the rail! Off the rail!

So we can't afford to make any mistakes.

Whoo!

I mean, huge numbers.

But we paid for it, too.

I forget the toll it takes on my body.

And on the boat.

Ooh.

Whoa, whoa...

Hey, hold on.

- You got 100,000 pounds to catch. - Throw it over.

I need to do it quick.

because every day the fuel's just killing us.

Better figure out how to make this work.

All they need is a chance. Aha!

And there's chance.

I'm stuck in forward gear right now.

The buoys are going under.

Well, I'm out of here.

Give me a ticket.

Guys watch out!

Oh my God.

310 miles from Dutch Harbor,

on the remote western grounds.

- Got it? - Yep.

And now we got an acrobat down there.

The hydraulic hoses came loose from our stiff arms,

so we're just trying to tie those back up.

Ooh.

Whoa.

Watch out.

Get off the rail! Off the rail!

- You OK? - [bleep], holy [bleep].

[bleep]-- that is too close.

Aboard the Northwestern...

I'll tell you what,

it's good to be back on the ground.

We've got a 30-mile spread, different depths,

you know, from the 40s to the 50-fathom range.

Now all we need is the crab.

- We're ready. - Roger.

Roger.

- Whoa. - Oh.

The longer we stay, the more money

is going out the smokestack. Every day costs money.

- We'll see what happens here. - Ah!

It's been blowing like [bleep]. We got 20-plus footers.

So if we can keep the boat safe and keep the guys safe

and find crab, I mean, that's the--

that's the name of the game right there.

Watch out, a lot of water.

Ah!

Come on, crab! Come on, crab!

- Let's go! - Come on!

Oh, no! Oh, that sucks.

- That's a goose egg. - Nothing.

Watch the rail here. I got to come around.

It's gonna get better, Lauren.

We're coming up with blank spots right now.

And that's the worst, when you got the [bleep] weather

and [bleep] fishing.

We're gonna have to go somewhere.

That's just all there is to it.

Guys, we're going to throw the rest of these on and...

- Roger. - Roger.

Yep.

- I'm going to fire these off. - Roger.

Watch out for a second.

Whoa!

[bleep]

You all right?

Argh.

[bleep]-- damn it.

Really?

- How? - In the bait bin.

[bleep] I was just cutting a fish.

- Don't touch it. - My finger doesn't--

- I can't move. - Can't move?

No, I can't move my index finger.

Let me get the chest.

We've got to get it cleaned up, OK?

Something's [bleep] up.

You wanna grab something to wipe that off with?

[bleep]-- handle's gone.

I thought I told you not to clean it up!

I'm just trying to stop it from bleeding.

Well, a bunch of paper towels is not sanitary.

You got to get it dressed properly.

- You got the tap? - Yeah.

- Here we go. - Yep.

You got it.

Just a couple of wraps, tight.

It's got a clot, doesn't it?

Yeah...

Ah.

We got-- there's antibiotics in here for that.

Can we just get that gear moved?

That's gonna get infected, Clark.

- Can't we just-- - We got to worry about your hand.

That's it!

He put a Vicky right through his hand.

I mean, like, right through the thumb part.

That could be permanent damage.

[bleep]-- piece of [bleep].

He wants to stick it out. He wants to stay.

But I don't know.

I mean, I'm more worried about infection

than anything, you know?

And that's not just a crew member.

That's my son-in-law down there.

I just don't want to be the reason

that we have to go in.

I don't know, man.

Maybe we should give Johnny a call and see

what he's thinking, what he knows.

On the Time Bandit.

Oh, baby, where are your pants?

I don't have time to put on my pants.

It's like 90 degrees up here.

OK.

OK.

You wear pants in the summer when you're driving your boat?

See? That's the same thing.

Let's go, baby.

Yeah, I got an early delivery date,

so I got to pull these fast.

Come on, baby.

Ah!

Ay yi yi yi.

That's not real encouraging.

Hello.

Clark got injured.

He put a Vicky right through his hand.

Oh, wow!

...cry about everything like that.

The fishing, I mean, it's just,

it's is not doing it for us.

So, you know, it's a double whammy.

That's all I can say.

Are you still back by that pinnacle out west?

You know, there is one spot there that we didn't really hit.

...That could be the bump that you're looking for.

If that's the case...

...down the South. Maybe a little bit.

And I hope Clark's OK. Sorry to hear about that.

OK, talk to you later.

The pinnacle's right above there.

It's not that far away.

We need everybody to get on the other side of it.

We just got to find him.

And we got to do it quickly, because I do need Clark

to get out of here as well. He's my priority.

Roger!

We got about 18 hour soak. We're probably gonna need,

like, a 24 average out of it.

Oh, no, Captain. That's a pretty short soak.

We have no choice.

We gotta get those numbers, or we're gonna come in lying.

If we don't get a 24 average out of it...

But if we do get a 24 average out of it,

you guys gotta pull one pot in your underwear.

Captain up there with no pants on!

Good time to stay out of the wheelhouse.

- Captain No Pants. - Captain No Pants.

These [bleep] are hammering on me.

55 miles southeast...

All right, here we go.

...on the Wizard.

Watch out! Watch out!

Whoo-hoo!

Let's make sure we get these pots in the block, OK, guys?

Roger!

Oh, yeah!

Hope we find something.

'Cause we're almost to the finish line here,

we need to get our crab caught,

Get to the dock, and deliver.

Staring down the barrel of an offload in four days,

Captain Keith Colburn looks to 160 pots

for his last 31,000 pounds

of red king crab quota before delivery.

Slow it down!

All right, coming up.

Here we go.

Give us some crab, baby.

Oh, man.

No bueno!

Oh my god.

Help me out, guys.

Five top. Five crab.

- Stack it. - Roger!

So far, we're not doing so good.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, whoa, whoa, don't throw, don't throw, don't throw.

I don't have any-- I've got no throttle.

Oh, [bleep].

I've got no throttle.

Joe, I've got zero throttle up here.

Are you [bleep] kidding me?

I'm stuck in forward gear right now.

The buoys are going under!

On the Wizard.

All right.

Pull it out of gear!

My throttle controls have just died on me, OK?

I'm stuck in forward gear. I'm gonna, uh.

I'm gonna make a big, lazy loop to port.

And hopefully, Joe can get us out of gear here.

- Always something. - Always something.

This runs on air, all right?

My throttle controls run on air,

and I lost throttle control basically in forward gear.

I had no control whatsoever...

We got to shut this thing off in here too.

Pick me up, Joe.

Some of these waves, they're nasty.

I can't control the boat.

And it's only a matter of time before one of them

comes right over the [bleep] rail.

But we got to get this gear on board,

like, right now.

- Yeah. - I got the gear

so I can operate the gear manually.

I'm not going to be able to put the boat in gear up here?

No, you're not going to be able to put the boat in gear up there.

The only thing you're gonna control is the steering.

All right.

Slow ahead is thumb up.

Thumb up means slow ahead.

Thumbs down means

a slow astern. - Slow astern.

More throttle in forward is a finger going up.

OK.

OK.

So we're trying to figure out how to basically put the boat

in and out of gear down the engine room.

He runs throttles.

and me try to steer up here. - Roger that.

Here we go.

Time for some hustle, baby!

All right, go ahead and have them throttle up.

Joe!

All right, let's do this.

We need to get this done.

Yeah, roger.

Whoo-hoo!

OK, there it is.

All right. Put the boat in neutral.

Here we go.

Stand by. Stand by.

Not yet. Stand by it.

OK...

Joe!

Joe!

OK, idle.

Joe!

Got him!

I mean, hopefully Joe will figure out

what the [bleep] going on down there,

and we can fix it right now.

But in the meantime, I'm not enjoying this one bit.

Coming in, coming in!

We gotta find a home for these pots.

We need to live it.

28 miles East.

What is this?

- Oh, man. - Not good.

What was that? Four in that one?

Nothing!

[bleep]-damn.

On the Confidence.

Argh.

Man, where's the crab at?

Pretty dismal.

Yeah, fishing's pretty bad.

It isn't really paying off at all.

That was [bleep] pathetic.

We don't have our quota cut. Bad [bleep] time.

To turn the operation around,

Captain for hire Steve "Harley" Davidson,

pushes a disgruntled crew

and their rookie co-captain, James Gamberton,

into their 25th straight hour of hauling pots.

Damn it.

[bleep]-- nothing, huh?

- Nothing in there? - Nothing.

But 13 days into the season

and still more than 20,000 pounds of red king crab

to catch before switching to the bairdi fishery,

crew morale and profits hit a new low.

Hopefully, this next one's better.

What is it?

We better stack these, you guys.

This ain't working. We gotta find a better spot.

Watch out, watch out, watch out!

Whoo!

It's just a grind.

Short sleep.

Minimal food.

Oh.

Here comes a big one. Watch it!

Guys, watch out!

Here comes a big one. Watch it!

Guys, watch out!

Everybody all right?

This is not for everyone. I mean...

a lot of the days are just a grind.

I'm not really sure what we're doing...

I don't know.

I'm running to another string. So it's like an hour.

I'm already out here to the west.

I've got to pick a direction.

I could see a group of boats that have been working here.

I don't wanna go in the middle of them,

but what we could do is just leapfrog over them here

and get some fresh ground.

Uh...

What's that?

I made a decision, and I'm not gonna do bairdi.

No, come on, dude. I need ya.

I need you. What happened?

I don't want to commit months on end to it.

A knock-down, drag-out bairdi season.

Actually, the bairdi could be just as good, if not better,

than the king crab with the, uh...

I made this decision. I don't know what to say.

- I'm sorry. - Yeah.

OK.

I'm sorry to hear that.

All right.

I tried to be the company man, play that role.

But during that conversation, I think you jumped the gun.

I'm not the owner, and I'm not a lawyer,

and I'm not looking at no contract.

This is not a penal colony.

Once you did that, that [bleep] was, like,

there's a little spark, a little fire,

and just throwing some gasoline on it.

[bleep]-- I wouldn't have done that.

That-- that wasn't-- I thought that was uncalled for.

Well, I'm sorry for that. I misunderstood.

- I don't know. - I'm still learning here.

That was, you know, I--

You vent, you know, and people vent,

owners will vent, ex-wives vent,

everybody vents.

They don't really mean what's gonna happen.

You guys ready?

Right now, I got to get this deck organized.

It's just starting to fall apart.

I'm hungry for crab right now.

And I mean, I need them so bad that [bleep] anything will help.

20 miles West...

...on the Wizard.

I'm not sure what they've concocted downstairs,

but they found a way to put this boat in and out of gear

at the engine.

And with any luck,

we can, uh...

keep us in gear like that.

I'm gonna set up the hill,

just a little bit shallower, and then I'm gonna set

straight back down with it,

which will be fine 'cause it's not like I have to worry about

spacing kind of speed.

Whoo!

Here we go!

All right.

Put the boat in neutral.

Joe!

- Coming over, ready? - Yeah.

Go ahead and have them throttle up

to about 800, OK?

Stand by.

There you go.

I hope they find something, you know?

Right now, we need to get the hell out of here

and get this boat to town.

Water!

Just getting ready to set here.

We're getting close.

We got to get Clark back into town here.

But we need something to hit.

The boat kind of rolled. I had the cod in my hand.

I just went like this to stick it in the back, and I missed

and hit right in the [bleep] middle of my hand.

Just one of those stupid, stupid mistakes.

Ok. All right.

we'll put the pedal to the metal.

See you soon.

I'll let you know what I'm getting in.

Talk to you soon.

Roger.

Because you weren't here, I got to wear no pants.

Captain No Pants.

- Captain No Pants. - No pants.

OK, OK, God bless America.

We just got to get this king trip wrapped up.

Plain and simple.

OK, guys, let's get this one over.

Roger!

We got a, uh, offload date.

We can't miss it.

- Throw it over! - Yeah, baby!

If I win, you got a whole string in your underwear, boys.

OK!

- That's a deal! - OK!

Let's get some crab, baby!

Not not crab here.

You just don't know. I-- I--I have to find out.

Whoa.

280 miles from Dutch Harbor...

All right, guys, coming up.

...on the Confidence.

You know, I hope we get something in this.

There was a cluster of boats back there,

and they were all working to the west,

working to the west. I picked up my stuff

and jumped up over, and now I'm in front of them.

I'm not here for that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Oh, man. - Yeah.

Not bad. Caught some crab.

It's nothing. No great shakes.

There's a little life here.

Put some hours in here, we can grind on this.

We get screwed over on pay

and away from our families...

Better get this cancer cured.

James, can you go down and talk with these guys

and be part of their group? They're your team.

Help me out here.

You can't just sit there and do nothing.

You can see that they need your help.

You hear that?

Chase is getting off the boat.

He doesn't give a [bleep] about 2%.

All right, I just-- sorry,

I thought maybe you had a better word.

They're pissed at me, Harley.

But, no, I'm used to having a mate.

That's how I've been using you

to help me getting to know them.

Now they're getting to know and leave.

Last I checked, I was the captain of this boat.

I haven't been a mate since I was this big.

No, I'm sorry, but maybe--

That's disrespectful as [bleep] to me.

In 1990 do you know what I was doing?

I had a license to drive an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier, dude.

When you were out here running around on deck,

I was driving up [bleep] through the Suez Canal going to war.

Oh...

The word's a word, you know. It's a...

No, a word's a word, and it means something

when you say it, dude.

If I use the word that you don't like, I'm sorry.

But if this is your crew, it's complete disarray.

Well, yeah, you know what, man? The boat's disarray

because we're [bleep] grinding and not getting any time

to [bleep] cook or do anything. They just--

they got time to make a meal and then run back out on deck.

- That's not true. - Yes, it is.

He slept for 14 hours.

- You were in bed for 11. - You listen,

but you don't hear, Harley. There's a big difference.

But this don't work for me.

- This don't work for me at all. - All right.

- You know? - All right.

All right. We'll fix it.

We'll see what the owners decide and fix it.

No, here's what's fixing it.

You can get me a draw and a plane ticket

after we deliver this crab, but I'm out of here.

So get me a ticket...

mate.

Whoa, OK.

Guess that's how that's gonna go.

All right, guys, let's set this back.

Roger.

Got a little bit of a grind coming up.

Crab boats on the crab ground.

That's where you find out about the real people.

We're gonna get our quota here in the next couple of strings,

knock this king crab out,

and get a new deck of cards, man.

[bleep] 'em.

Just put the bow on the top of the king crab,

and we'll start on paradise.

60 miles Northwest.

Oh!

Yeah, buddy.

What do you think you're doing?

Roger.

We got a pot coming up.

Oh, yeah, baby!

Whoo!

Come to papa.

Let's go! Whoo!

has given us a tip. We'll see if it works.

Clark got injured. It was real deep, man.

We need something to hit.

Man, I think we gotta take him in.

Here, crabby, crabby, crabby, crabby.

Captain No Pants.

I tell them, "If there's no crab there, I'll come out

"and pull a pot in my underwear.

If I'm right, you guys gonna pull a pot in your underwear."

I bet Teddy's got tighty-whities.

This is a lot of at stake here.

Right?

All right. Here we go, here we go. See what we got.

Just give me a taste. That's all I need.

Just one little--

What do we got? What do we got?

Come on, baby.

It sort of started today.

I was in the bathroom, and there was some--

some alcohol rubbing, I don't know what the [bleep]

rubbing alcohol is. Alcohol's under the sink.

- I had some paper towels. - For your elbow.

I put some alcohol on this paper towel,

and I wiped my ass with it. Son of a bitch, dude.

Don't ever do that.

It's a gift that keeps on giving, man.

It's like a minute, and I'm going, "son of a bitch"

Note to self, don't ever wipe your butt with rubbing alcohol.

Oh, my god. Nobody does that, honey.

My butt is clean. That's all I'm saying.

This is a lot of at stake here.

Just give me a taste. That's all I need.

Moment of truth.

Yeah, baby!

Yeah! Whoo!

Yeah, baby! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Come on, baby.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, look at that.

Whoa!

Wow.

I got this [bleep].

These are just beautiful big crab.

You can actually see life on the table.

Yay!

Bam!

How many?

Fifty... really?

- [bleep] - What?

[bleep]

Oh, my God. It was three quarter full.

Is that right, Teddy bear? You've been shot, Teddy!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Whoo!

Watch out, John.

Right behind you...

9 [bleep] 0. 90.

Yeah!

You got me?

That's what friends are for.

Ok, John.

Whoo-hoo.

Fishing's strong.

And that'll buy some time to get Clark to town,

and hopefully, when we come back out,

we can get a decent pick out of the gear.

We got the-- whoa, whoa, whoa.

That one.

Yeah, baby! Whoa!

We're gonna make our delivery date.

Whoo-hoo!

Someone's gonna be pulling a pot in their underwear.

Good news you should be able to put the boat in gear.

Thank God.

I got the air regulator replaced.

We're on, thank you, Joe.

All right, guys. Number one, let's get her.

All right, here we go.

Whoo!

- I can get up to speed now. - Right on, dude.

I got to do some catch-up time here.

I got to do some catch-up.

All right, here we go.

Coming in, coming in.

That pot's half full.

- Ooh. - Oh, yeah.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Huge numbers.

Oh, yeah, they're all big crab.

Say, there's a solid 50 plus in that sucker.

That's all we need is a 50 average.

And with any luck, we can, uh, all these last pots,

get them on board,

and get the hell out of here.

[bleep]

Give me some white legs out there.

Oh, no. Oh, no, full moon.

I saw a supermoon.

Teddy bear.

Whoo-hoo! Look at those crabs.

Ow!

Don't get bit in the you know where.

Oh, my God.

That's what happens when you lose a bet.

Well...

good news.

Don't have to go home.

They said I can come back to the boat and just,

you know, keep an eye on it for infection

and try to keep it as dry as possible.

- Just do what you can do. - All right.

I'm just glad we didn't lose you.

Yeah.

Cool. All right, buddy.

All right.

- Let's start crabbing] - I got it.

I think he dodged a bullet.

So we want to get out there and just try to get it done.

I was pretty surprised

they're letting me come back to the boat.

I'll just do what I can on deck, you know.

It's just glad I don't have to go home.
