All language subtitles for Blue Collar - 01x05 - Out on a Limb_track4_[eng]

Somebody's
losing a limb today.

Let's just hope
it's a tree.

It's timber time.

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

My name is
Daniel Petronijevic.

I'm an actor...

You ever seen the Milky Way
over Lake Titicaca?

...and I've played a ton
of blue collar jobs on TV.

May the welding
gods be with us!

But I've always wondered,

do I have what it takes
to do it in real life?

Well...

We're about to
find out...

'Cause this is
Blue Collar.

Trees are
pretty awesome.

They give us shade,
shelter to animals.

They even give us
oxygen,

which is super important
if you like breathing.

But sometimes they
get damaged,

and when they do,
they get dangerous.

And that's where Cohen
& Master come in,

a full-service arborist crew
that can drop full trees

and branches with
surgical precision,

and they do it all
while dangling

from little ropes
with chainsaws.

Sounds like fun,
doesn't it?

Let's get at it. Yoo!

Tate?

Tate!

I'm looking for
a guy named Tate.

- This way, this direction.
- That way.

- Tate?
- This way.

Okay.

This is where he is,
this is the man.

Tate, here's Dan.

How are you, Tate?
Good to meet you, sir.

Alright, good to
have you here.

We got a big day
ahead of us,

so we'll get you
suited up soon

and go over some basics
in the truck, all right?

Sounds good.
Oh, hello, my pretty!

Do I get to run this?

We'll start with
something a little smaller.

Come on!
We're best friends already.

She's speaking to me...

even when she's quiet,
she's pretty.

I can't wait to
make her scream.

Rah-rah-rah-rah!

Let's go,
we got work!

Let's get 'er
on the truck!

You bringing this,
what do you call here,

- the weed snipper?
- Yeah, bring-

Everything in the
cart's gotta go.

All right,
she's coming.

I am so pumped
right now.

Chainsaws,
75 foot up a tree.

Send it.

Well, we're lucky it's
a beauty day, huh?

It is a
gorgeous day.

No rain makes me
very happy.

Right? What are all
the things you gotta do?

Being an arborist,

it's a combination of
so many things.

Part scientist,
part doctor,

and part lumberjack.

Trees are like people,
right? And not always-

Yeah, sometimes
they need to be slapped!

Not always
easy to figure out.

What are the possible
dangers that you run into?

As soon as you get
off the ground, you know,

it doesn't take very much
to fall and have

a critical injury
or fatality.

- Chainsaw.
- Yeah.

Really easy to
cut your rope.

Really easy to
cut your leg.

Who knows, I could
get my mullet caught

in the bloody thing
and I'd be gone.

Last year alone,
in 2024, 66 arborists

died in North America
doing this work.

- Really, eh?
- Yeah.

But this site here,
we're going to be

cabling and
bracing a tree.

Make it strong, ensure that
it doesn't fail in a storm.

We're also going to be
in injecting a tree

for beech leaf disease.

It's a really devastating
disease that's

prevalent here
in the city now.

Son of
a beech!

We have this method
of injecting a fungicide.

We're able to
save the tree.

Well done,
Master Tate.

Can't fucking wait.

So I'm going to head
over and start setting up.

You're going to
work with Tina here.

Tina, this is Dan.
Dan, Tina.

- Tina, pleasure to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

So today we're checking
out this beech tree.

Client was worried because
they heard beech leaf disease

is going around in
the neighbourhood.

Okay, well, I noticed
coming down the stairs,

this one's got warts on it,

or maybe skin tags
right on the trunk.

You know, it's very
embarrassing.

It's a good thing we're
here to take care of this.

So what the client
was worried about

is beech leaf disease.

If the tree leaves have
discoloration between

the veins, that's often
an indication of

beech leaf disease.

This one does not have it,
so that's a good thing,

which means the
tree is healthy,

but we still want to
treat it because

beech leaf disease is
becoming more prevalent,

so we want to be more
proactive about it.

Are you a
tree whisperer?

I wish I could
talk to them.

Unfortunately, I can't talk
to them like how they

talk to each other through
their roots network.

They can send
signals of distress,

and they'll actually
help one another by

sending more nutrients.

I'll just talk
to this thing now.

I know,
you sick beech.

This is what you
got to do, okay?

Come caress it.
I love you too, tree.

- You're gonna go a long way.
- Ah...

A long...

Should I give you
some space?

Believe it or not,
I'm a tree humper.

I mean, hugger.

It's not
telling me with words,

but I can feel that it
really doesn't like that.

It loved it.

How do you think it got
so many bloody warts?

I can tell you
right now.

This is one
nasty beech.

Oh, yes, mama.

Now we know how
much to measure out

with the product.
55 centimetres.

- Tree medicine.
- Yes.

We're going
in straight and

we're leaving
straight too.

I just
found out today

that trees can talk
to each other.

Let's get the hose in.

Dr. Dan is here
taking care of business,

and I clearly identified a
case of genital herpes

on that trunk.

We've got to give it
a few injections

and suck up
some juices.

Now we're just
connecting the pump to

the battery, and that
will start the motor.

Are they going
to my nipples?

- Not this time.
- Not this time.

At least she's
open minded.

So we're going
to inject a fungicide.

It's a systemic pesticide,
you can follow it along

as it travels
into the tree.

It will pull up the
liquid through the trunk,

into the foliage,
and provide coverage

to the whole tree.

It's almost
like we're doctors.

We're going to get rid of
all your herpes,

you filthy beech.

Hey, Dan,
you want to climb a tree?

Do I ever,
thank you.

Whoa!

You're like a superhero.

So this tree has
been identified to

have a structural issue.

We've got two stems
that have grown up

close to each other,
and that's going to be

a weak point in a
storm situation.

That's an area
that can rip apart.

- That's the crotch.
- You bet.

So we're going to be
putting a cable in today.

By putting in this cable,
we're going to hold

that upper canopy
together.

We're going to secure it
with washers and nuts,

pinning those two
leaders together

and keeping it strong.

So in other words,
right at the crotch,

we're going to put a
rod in and two nuts.

That's pretty
much the plan.

It's gonna
be great!

Wood, ropes.

Pretty much a Saturday
night at my house.

Kerplowy!

Dan, this is Rob B
and this is Rob Y.

Rob B...

And Rob Y,
Rob squared.

They're going to be
helping us get this cable

and bracing rod
in today.

So they're going to
shoot up there first.

We're going to do our
training and get you up

the tree to join them.

I can tell these guys
are good climbers right now.

Look at how
slender you are.

I don't know if a
baby hippo like me

is going to be able to
scamper up there.

We'll get you up there.

- Alright.
- See you soon.

Safe travels, boys.

Let's see
how fast this is.

Why are you
doing it so fast

when I'm going to
do it so slowly?

That was fast as fuck.

Bulletproof glasses: on.

Bulletproof helmet: on.

So remember,
we're tree doctors.

I want you to kind of think
yourself as my tree nurse.

I concur, Doctor.

There is your harness.

Yeah,
that's looking good.

- This goes on like so.
- Perfect.

- That goes like that.
- There you go.

And give that a little tug,
get you in there.

I'll give as much tug,
easy now.

Just clip that closed.
There you go.

- There we go.
- Sit back.

Oh fuck.
It's squeezing

the tip of my dick,
hold it.

I might need to
adjust some shit here.

Dick squeezer.

Dick squeezer.

There we go.

Lean back and try
to get your feet

up high on the trunk.

We're going to use this
one leg to advance you.

Bend your knee...

and slide it up, and then
you're going to stand down

and you're going to
pull with your arms.

There you go.
Bend your knee again...

and then stand up and pull
with your two arms.

Good, and you're
off to the races.

There you go, Dan,
you're climbing.

How does
my mullet look?

That's the most
important question.

Amazing.
You're doing great, man.

Dan, I'm coming up
to meet you.

Oh, it's going
to squeeze farts out.

You better get up there.

My fucking nut
is killing me.

My left one's bigger
than my right one.

Get that left foot
right in the crotch.

I made it to the
crotch of the tree,

but it was my crotch
that paying the price.

Ooh, sorry.
Holy fuck!

He fucking just
teabagged me!

I see what's
going on up here.

That's why we
brought you up here.

We're going to
drill right through.

We want to keep it
centred in the tree.

We want that hole lined up
with the other anchor-

With that, as best
as you can, I imagine.

You got it.

- There you go.
- Let him finish it.

There we go.

Yeah, now all
the way out.

Holy fuck.
You wouldn't want

to be underneath
that if it dropped.

No.

Okay, we're going to
throw in the hardware now.

Gotcha.
Right there, I see it.

In the holiest of holies.

She's on

Tighten 'er up.

Oh, a nice little
ratchet wrench, too.

Four feet,
five Inches.

This is
fucking awesome.

Cool, man.

It's a different
perspective.

A hundred percent.

That's what
I like about it.

You get up away
from the world.

You wrap one
side around,

twisting it, and then the
other side twist on top

and they just will
clamp together.

It's going to pin
those trunks together.

That will
never come apart.

Never come apart.

Okay, now we can
crank that baby.

Now we
crank this.

There you go.

Now we're talking.

Fucking primo.

Is this
high-five o'clock?

- Yeah!
- All right!

Thank you, guys.

I'm one with the
earth and nature.

Hanging tight!
We got it done.

Cabled the tree.

It's going to be around
for a long, long time.

The nut squeeze.

Now I have to go
and ice my balls.

Now that you've got a big,
beautiful rod

in your crotch,
you'll never split.

Dan, we got to get
going to the next site.

I thought that one
job was done, but...

we got to get
to another job.

The whole afternoon,
probably more trees.

Hope some tree
here says to me,

"Please cut me..."
with a chainsaw.

Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!

Dan, you can't just
pick up the saw and

start firing it off
like that.

You're going to piss
off the neighbours.

Okay, sorry.

Let's just
look at the job. All right?

Yes sir.
Yes sir. Sorry.

Our pruning project
today, objective here,

we're going to be making
some room over the pool,

allow a little more
light to get in.

We don't want any branches
in the swimming pool.

We don't want any of
our crew members

in the swimming pool.

Alright, so let's
break into our groups.

Who wants to
partner with Dan?

Maybe Rob?

He can come up with me.
You can come up with me.

We'll get you up.
We'll get you up.

At least
somebody likes me.

Let's break out
and get this going on.

So it is going to be
some complex rigging.

We'll set up a series
of pulleys and blocks.

- Let's get up there.
- Game on.

- Alright, brother.
- Okay, legs and arms.

Step up
with one motion.

Yeah, one more.

There you go.
You're in the air.

Wee!

Just step up.

- Beautiful.
- Step up, step up.

I'm coming up
beside you.

There we go,
there we go.

Almost there.

I felt pretty good about
my climbing skills until

Rob whizzed by me like
a squirrel on crystal meth.

You're a show off!

He's like a large
leprechaun ninja.

Nice job
getting up here.

Faster than the last time.
Looked nice.

Not as baby
hippo-ish this time.

Alright Dan,
we're going to cut this piece.

So we're going to
tie 'er up here

and secure
this piece on.

Tensioning up
the butt.

- Tension of the butt.
- Tensing of the butt.

I'm learning all types
of terminology today.

Girth, wood,

crotch, butt.

I was made for this job.

We're locked off
and ready to go.

Okay, sending up
the chainsaw.

The saw is coming!
Give it to me, give it to me.

Chainsaw
coming up!

Please let me
do this! Please! Please!

I think I'll
take this one, Dan.

You can cut
the next one.

Sh!
What's that?

You'd like me and only me
to cut everything?

Rob, she wants me to
cut everything, okay?

She doesn't know
what's good for her.

Her body,
her choice, okay?

Let's start
cranking.

Get it nice and high.

Easy, easy...

Keep cranking,
let's go.

Walk it towards
the house.

- That's it...
- Beautiful, guys.

Keep pulling,
keep pulling.

Keep pulling, nice!

- Good job, guys!
- Good job!

We did it!
We did- Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Like, I understand that
we're trying to save the

trees and everything,
and I love trees.

But I just kind of
want to just...

if it's not too
much to ask, like just...

just get a chainsaw and

maybe cut one of
their arms off.

Is it my turn?

No, I think we'll use
a handsaw for the next one.

Come on!

How many trees
do I got to climb

before I get my hands
on a chainsaw?

What? I got to use this
piece of crap?

Oh...

She's pretty nice.
I think you'll like her.

- Daddy likey.
- Yeah.

Choppy chop choppy.

Alright Dan,
you ready to cut a branch?

Yes, sir.

We're gonna do
a speed line here.

Okay,
let's do it.

We're gonna
girth on this sling,

attach it to the rope, and
we're going to zip

this branch right
across the pool.

Slow and controlled
on ropes.

What branch?

The one
you're standing on.

See how she's overhanging
the pool here?

Yes sir.
Girth it on.

Girth it on.

Swinging.
Good, swinging it.

And then, here,
you can clip that

on to that end
of the rope.

Gotcha.

Primo, girth's hitched on.

- Perfect.
- God, that's sharp.

She's sharp, baby.
Yeah... You got 'er.

Oh, I can
see it snapping.

She's starting
to snap. Stand clear!

- All clear!
- Snafooey!

Snafooey!

Boom, baby!
Woo!

- I chop you!
- Good job, Dan!

Thank you, Tate!

Alright,
let's hit the ground.

There's two ways
I can think to

get out of this tree.

One is the pool.
Daddy likey!

I think we
use the rope.

Alright, fun wrecker.

Look at this.

It's a fucking
callous, okay.

This is what a man gets from
working all day with power.

I haven't had one of
these on my hands

since I was
13 years old.

Hello again,
my friend.

All right,
first things first,

watch out for
your mullet.

You don't want that
caught in there.

Tell you what, you
watch out for your beard.

I'll watch out
for the mullet.

- Sounds good.
- Sounds good.

Let's send it, brother.
Let's send it!

Amigo,
pick up the tree.

Follow me,
follow me.

Okay, Eduardo.

Almost there,
almost there.

Keep digging.

Keep digging, yeah.

But you're doing great,
my friend.

Beautiful!

Amigo,
let's do it.

I'm hot! Hot!

I am fucking hot.

- Ugh.
- I mean, honestly man,
what is the point?

What...

is the point of
having a beautiful

swimming pool
like this...

and not being
able to go in it?

It's fucking madness.

Where are
we going now?

- That's it for now.
- That's it for the day.

- That's it for the day?
- That's it for the day.

- That's it for the day?
- That's it.

We're going
swimming, come on!

Come on, come on,
come on!

Come on, come on!
Come on!

We can fucking finally go!
- No, Dan, no!

How come you
guys aren't in?

What the fuck you
guys waiting for?

Ah, Tate...

which one of you guys
fucking pushed me in?

Come on, Dan.
Let's get out of the pool.

Agh! Ow!

- Ah!
- Woo, alright!

Victory is mine.

See you tomorrow
at 6:00 AM, Dan.

What?
6:00 AM?

Well, it's a whole new
day and a whole new job,

and I've turned over
a new leaf.

So, we can see
we've got decay at

the base of the tree.
We've got dead tops.

And with the proximity
to the house,

this tree is very hazardous
and beyond saving.

Hopefully today's the
day they're finally going to

let me have a chainsaw
and let her eat.

Rah!

We'll see.
Chop the fucker down.

Give me a chainsaw,

I'll have the thing down
in five minutes. 1, 2, 3.

Bust it up on the ground
and we're out of here.

Out by lunch.

She's a little
big for that.

We'll bring it down
in small pieces.

We can even get
the crane on it.

We'll get the
big toys going.

Money.

Here she goes.
Timber, boys!

Wow!

- Clear?
- Clear!

Oh, it's a big boy!

Holy fuck!

Why are we
even using it?

Why don't we just keep
cutting it like we did?

Because it's a lot safer when
you secure the piece

with this link.

I see, 'cause they're
getting bigger

and heavier, right?

Exactly and it's very close
to the house,

so we█re taking it down.

- Hasta la tree-sta?
- Let's do it.

Wow.

Ha-ha,
I love this job.

Dan, you want to
get this one a shot?

You talking
to me, like... me?

You got this,
buddy, you got this.

She's yours,
she's yours.

Oh, yeah, ha!
Thanks, brother.

Yes!

Alright, I'm just going to
start the thing like this.

- Hold that.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, hey, hey.

Do I know which
way to point it? Yes, sir.

Dan's using the
chainsaw on the ground.

He's proved himself.

He's proved he can
handle it there.

Oh baby!

I think we'll give him
an opportunity to use it

up the tree and make
a bigger cut.

Na-na-nah!

Na-na-na-na-na-nah!

No, no,
no, no, yes.

Okay, Dan,
you ready to do this?

You're going to
head up the tree.

This is a big moment.

Ha-ha! You're damn
right I am, Tate.

Thank you so much!

This is going
to be great.

The tree gods have
shined upon me!

This goes like so...

And underneath, perfect.

That's exactly right.

And now tighten it up,

I would say probably
about six inches.

That's it, nice.

Look out below!

Watch out for
falling timber.

You're going to be
a long drop.

He is four feet off the ground.

You shut off
over there.

Okay,
a little bit more.

I'd take one more step,

and you're almost in a
good work position.

Good work
on the spurs.

Dan's doing a great job.

He's working the rope and
he's got the chainsaw.

We're running the crane...

so it's a pretty
intimidating situation.

Oh yeah!

So, so far,
so good.

Almost there.

- She gone!
- Woo!

Yeah!

- Here we go, baby!
- Oh, yeah!

That's great, Dan.

Honestly,
fucking impressive.

- Fucking great.
- Yeah.

Did you guys
just see that?

Everything these
arborists work with

can kill you
in a second!

Chainsaws, ropes and
pulleys, winches,

cranes, chippers,
stump removers.

You could be dead in
the blink of an eye,

but they do it every day-

safely, responsibly,
and professionally.

One thing's for sure:
this work is exhausting.

Actually, I think I'm
going to go have a nap.

I don't give
a shit anyways.

- Dan...?
- What's with this guy?

Dan?

You in there, bud?

- Hey, guys.
- Come on, man.

We got more
work to do.

We have
more work to do?

Somebody must have
thrown something at me,

knocked me out
or something.

Ooh, hi.
Sorry I had a nap.

Well, Dan,
when you started here,

we thought you were
pretty prickly.

Little difficult
to work with.

Kind of like a
black locust.

I really admire
the passion that

you bring to the job.

Dan, at first I was
a little scared of you,

but you ended up
being amazing.

Uniquely beautiful,
like a ginkgo.

You're a ginkgo too.

Dan, you're
like tree heaven.

Very invasive...
but beautiful.

Thank you so much.

We have a little
surprise for you.

Come on.

We're going to
be planting a tree

in your honour...
- Really?

...to commemorate the
work that you did.

What kind
of tree is it?

We have a beautiful
flowering lilac

that we're
going to put in.

Really?

That was my
grandmother's favourite.

Well, there you go.

Eduardo, should we
get this going?

Here we go, amigo.

Why are you
giving me a shovel?

I'm not digging my own
grave for you guys to

bury me in it,
are you?

It does look bad.

Tell you what?

We'll make it a
little easier for you.

We've got
another tool that

you can use instead
of the shovel.

How about we bust
out the air spade?

Let's fucking
bust 'er out.

- No, no, no,
- That's on, my friend.

Hey!

A little bit more!

Grow good,
Muriel.

Naming it after
my grandma.

I think she's good.

That's about as fucking
awesome as you can get.

High five. Yeah!

Thanks, guys.
That was awesome.

- Nice work, man.
- Cheers, guys.

Take care.

You grow good.

Love you, Grandma.

Hey!
Fuck, wait up.

I gotta get a
ride with you!

Yous guys
like my bush?
