"I'm actually scared." "You should be 'cause you could!" "@#$% somebody up, like, right now." "You should be looking at this..." "there, that way, that way." "You don't just jump up here and!" "@#$% start running a boat." "It doesn't work that way." "I'm sorry." "I don't give a!" "@#$% if you're hauling gear." "Nobody!" "@#$% cares." "All that matters is that you do it right so you don't hurt somebody." "How we looking?" "Good." "This is great crab." "Four weeks into the king crab season... yeah, this has been an ass-kicker." "I'm wiped out, man." "Everybody is so!" "@#$% tired." "It's crazy." "...the end is now in sight." "I am more excited about sleep than finishing the season." "For some, it's a sprint to the finish... we'll see how this string does, but tell you what, if it's consistent all the way through, we're coming in with both barrels, man," "we're coming in blazing." "...while others face an uphill grind to the bitter end." "We're up against the clock now." "Fuel adds up fast." "Got to get out to fish that gear." "And just get the pots onboard and get back to dutch harbor." "On the 113-foot time bandit... okay, guys, got the first one here." "Get them out of the boat." "Nobody get hurt, nothing break down, and we go home." "!" "@#$% Just take me home." "...with most of his quota caught captain johnathan hillstrand is just 10,000 pounds away from wrapping his season." "This one sure tests a man here... this trip." "We'll have some dead loss because we're out a 16-day trip from hell." "We're putting crab in the tank and hopefully, we can get them home alive." "On average, king crab can live about 10 days in a tank." "Any longer, and they start to die off." "With some of their crab nearly two weeks old, the time bandit needs to get to town and off-load before they lose their catch." "We're so close to being over with the season." "Just got to go get those pots." "That's the only thing standing in between us." "Watch out." "Adding to the stress of a drawn-out trip... we can't afford to!" "@#$% around." "...the inexperience on deck." "This season, i had three green guys." "Axel's our new crane guy." "We're just stacking out right now." "I miss my all-star, scotty." "I don't care how rough it was out, when he had that pot on the crane, i never had to even look." "This is the first season in seven years that johnathan's son, scotty, hasn't worked the hydros." "!" "@#$%!" "@#$%" "i really miss my kid around here, but he's over on the cornelia marie helping them out." "He's one of the best crane operators there is out here." "He is the best, i know." "I got my sea pigeons out the window." "Those are my buddies, too." "Miss you guys, too!" "For now, we got a lot of crab onboard." "And i got to make sure they all stay alive." "22 miles south, six hours later... john hillstrand, right by where our gear's at." "Here's johnny!" "...headed back to their grounds after an off-load, the crew of the cornelia marie approaches the southern end of time bandit's gear." "We just grabbed one of my old man's pots here." "And deckhand scotty hillstrand prepares a care package for his old crew mates." "On the time bandit this season, it's all the young guns stepping up." "So, basically, this is a big test for the young guys to see how they're gonna handle this situation." "I think it's gonna be utter chaos." "Maybe i'll go play with the boys for a little bit." "All right, what do we got?" "A little flour bomb." "So, we're playing a little prank on johnathan and the time bandit." "I got a few for him up my sleeve that will blow his mind." "We're gonna have six shots of line total." "So, they're gonna have to empty their coiler three times." "It's just gonna get worse..." "progressively worse." "That line at your feet..." "pull that to you." "These guys are basically gonna be hauling two pots on one line, but that line's gonna be about 10 times longer than what it should be." "Somewhere on that line, there's gonna be some flour bombs and a steel pipe that will stall it out." "To sum that up, the cornelia bombshell will include six shots of line, four flour bombs," "1,600 pounds of welded steel, and 30 feet of block-busting pipe." "What do you think, scott?" "There's some major ingenuity going on right now." "It's the prank of the millennium!" "60 miles west... on the 125-foot northwestern... what was that last one?" "106. think i can live with that." "...10 days into his bairdi season, captain sig hansen has found his honey hole." "We're definitely on a tight schedule." "And with a delivery just six days away, the skipper needs to top off his tanks." "I need about 15,000 crab, so today, it's imperative that we put all our pots in the right places." "Jake's stepped up, did a great job as chief so far." "Bottom line is, he's gonna be the go-to guy for any mechanical failures." "With deck boss edgar hansen still on the disabled list, jake fills in as the boat's engineer." "Being a captain is just one goal in my life, and i want to accomplish that as soon as i can." "But he has eyes on a bigger prize." "You know, he's been mentioning he wants to haul the gear more and more, and i keep promising, so we'll get him up here." "Hey, anderson." "Well, we've gone about a mile here, and i think it's your time to haul some gear." "I guess sig's gonna give jake a little run at the boat again." "Good for you, jake." "I'm happy for you." "Honestly, i didn't think it was gonna happen." "Jakey gets to do a string." "138." "138?" "!" "@#$%" "Is there another manhole, or is that full, too?" "The crew sets up the conveyor belt to help get crab to the back tanks." "We almost got the front tank full." "Put this last little dab in the aft tank." "Are you kidding me?" "@#$% yeah, kill the hydraulic." "Now what?" "Is there a leak or something?" "What is it?" "Never fails." "Every time i want to put the pedal to the metal, something has to happen." "Blew a hose on the belt." "Oh, it's the bottom on." "Yeah, the line was old." "All it's gonna do is slow us down, like we're not behind already." "Hey, could somebody relay to me what's going on down there?" "With sig chomping at the bit to pull pots... it's already, like, 2:00." "We've pulled one string." "...jake's chance to haul gear begins to fade." "Let's do that." "We're!" "@#$% time away." "Roger" "!" "@#$% put them in the damn totes and carry them back there." "I'm just gonna keep hauling." "Jake can play with it." "!" "@#$% bull!" "@#$%" "210 miles northeast of dutch harbor, on the northwestern... let's do that." "We're!" "@#$% time away." "Roger." "!" "@#$% ...forced to fix a blown hydraulic hose... i'm just gonna keep hauling." "Jake can play with it." "!" "@#$% bull!" "@#$% ...aspiring skipper jake anderson loses an opportunity to take the helm." "I'm so!" "@#$% pissed." "I get it." ""i want to haul pots."" "we don't have time right now." "We're not stopping." "I was about to go upstairs and haul gear." "I'm pissed, dude." "We need to get going here." "Every time i'm gonna haul gear, every time i'm gonna learn something in the wheelhouse, every time that i think that i'm gonna run a!" "@#$% boat, something!" "@#$% happens and i don't get to." "We're good." "Guy wants to be a captain, you can't act like that." "Nobody's gonna work for you." "How many?" "106." "106 again?" "Roger." "For jake, each pot that comes over the rail... what do you think about my spot now?" "...is salt in the wound." "!" "@#$% such a mother!" "@#$% bairdi." "Big bairdi." "That's how you get rich." "That's..." "!" "@#$% me." "!" "@#$% piece of!" "@#$%" "oh," "I get pissed." "That's the last pot." "I'm tired of wasting my!" "@#$% time trying to be a captain." "!" "@#$% joke." "It's a waste of my time." "!" "@#$% being a captain." "I want to do a lot of things, too, sometimes." "You don't see me throwing a temper tantrum." "Take that life and burn it for all i!" "@#$% care." "$20,000 down the drain." "Damn joke." "That's crazy." "The guy..." "he's wigging out right now because we were hauling our pots, i promised he could, but i got to get through this gear." "I cannot stop for hydraulic leaks or crew spasms, and especially jake, because, you know," ""oh, it's supposed to be me hauling these pots."" "it doesn't matter!" "His responsibility as chief engineer... fix the problem." "Then, we can go to school and haul your little pots." "That's it." "It was a waste of my time is all it was." "It's a waste of my time." "I've been here 20-some-plus years." "You know how many pots i've hauled?" "Zero." "I'm done with it, dude." "I'm just gonna do bait.!" "@#$% it." "Serenity now." "I got to take him to yoga class or something." "45 miles east... on the time bandit... end of the season!" "Thank god." "We're stacking out." "Kind of in a hurry to do so." "...up against a delivery date and with aging crab in the tank, captain johnathan hillstrand rushes to stack his gear and head to town." "This has been the longest king crab trip i've ever been on." "Tired." "Everybody's tired." "We're gonna have over $1 million worth of crab onboard." "My crab could all!" "@#$% die." "That's a big buoy." "The!" "@#$% what the hell's this?" "I don't know what the hell this is coming up." "Looks like a!" "@#$% what the!" "@#$% is that?" "...what the hell that is." "Twist it so i can read it." "It looks like it's from scotty." "Turn it so he can see it." "It says "from new management, love you, dad."" "cornelia marie gave us a little present, i do believe." "Oh, man, this is not gonna be good." "I think mcmanus, harris, hillstrand found this!" "@#$% so be prepared." "What the hell's hanging on this one?" "What is that?" "The old flour-bomb trick." "You guys, just haul ass." "Here." "Stop." "Oh, they got to pull the shots out." "What the hell's going on here?" "I think we got rope-a-doped." "Here's the other end." "Hey, stop!" "Yep, pull that one out." "Tie this up." "The coiler's full again." "So far, those little!" "@#$% are getting us pretty good." "I think they got a pot." "There we go." "Oh," "Now we can land the pot." "All right, boys." "This son of a bitch aboard." "Let's get it and set it down." "I don't know what's gonna be on the end of this." "Might not be nothing." "What began as a friendly prank... it's just slowing us down a half hour so far." "...is now jeopardizing a million-dollar load of king crab." "This could be the difference between getting our asses!" "@#$% handed to us on a platter." "Hey." "Stop." "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "No!" "Oh, you got to be kidding me." "It's a what?" "How the!" "@#$% do you grab a pipe?" "Just get that out of the way the quickest way you can." "We don't have time, guys." "Easy, easy, easy." "Too long." "Well, just cut the!" "@#$% throw it over." "Usually, you don't put a pipe so long that the guy's got to cut his pot off." "There it goes." "Show's over." "So, he used pretty much every trick there is known to man in one pot." "Two pots... one of them's on the bottom now." "So, i'll say, "yeah, it's really funny," but we got to get the!" "@#$% out of here." "We got to keep these crab alive." "240 miles northeast of dutch harbor, on the time bandit..." "We did it!" "We did it!" "It hasn't come easy, brother." "...after a brutal 14 days at sea... that's the last pot, by the way, of the season." "!" "@#$% ...captain johnathan hillstrand fills his quota and stacks the last of his pots." "This crab season's over for us." "Next stop, opie season." "We made it through the season." "Everyone's gonna get a paycheck." "Try to get our crab off." "We'll be in dutch harbor around 8:00 in the morning." "We got to off-load around 6:00 p.m." "with the crab in the tank, the time bandit has a shot at minimizing their dead loss." "I'm heading to town." "Marking, plugging the away point in right now." "Only 18 hours from dutch harbor." "And hopefully, we get a quick off-load." "Six words..." "that wasn't very!" "@#$% easy." "Was it?" "My crew's getting better every day." "Things have a way of working themselves out." "Scared the hell out of me." "Hello?" "Hey, al." "Things are going all right." "Still looking good." "Okay." "Okay, i'll talk to you tomorrow." "Thank you." "Oh, my god." "!" "@#$%" "i can't even !" "@#$% off-load, dude." "Oh, my god." "That's what he !" "@#$% said." "Delays at the cannery will force the time bandit to wait another 48 hours before they can off-load." "Seems like every 12 hours, we're up then we're down." "We're up, we're down." "Now i know what a yo-yo feels like." "Right now i'm killing crab." "22 miles southeast... been a long season." "...on the 128-foot cornelia marie... !" "@#$% been slow-going, but we're gonna get this done right now." "...captain school is in session and boat owner josh harris is back for another test at the helm." "Whole pot and go home and see mama crab." "That's what it's gonna take to get out of here, for sure." "You're at the tide change, and they kind of lay funny." "They're not all in a row." "Run it backwards." "Tonight's challenge for the would-be skipper... hauling pots in reverse." "Scott probably won't be too happy about this one." "When did your job driving this boat become to keep scott happy?" "You got to do what's right for the boat." "Crab pots are attached to two buoys... one taut diver and one slack trailer." "Normally, the boat pulls past the trailer first and a hook is thrown before the weight of the 800-pound pot pulls on the line." "But when currents push the trailer bag in front, the weight of the pot on the line makes it harder for the deckhands to retrieve it." "It's gonna be a fun day." "I got to turn this off just a second." "!" "@#$% i can't" "hang on just a second, scotty." "You sure?" "Pretty sure." "I don't know." "He must be getting tired up there." "Everything's looking the same to him." "So, our goal on this would be to get through these as fast as we can." "Drove right by those buoys, didn't even see them." "Did we just drive past the pot, jason?" "We need to make sure this isn't!" "@#$% up right now." "Yeah, keep asking me questions." "I've got my thing going here." "Back up." "We're letting it go." "Well, obviously, your thing ain't working." "Josh must double back and re-approach the pot." "Scotty, throw the hook." "Approaching the pot too fast, josh makes scotty miss with the hook." "Twice." "You're a professional." "You can do it." "I got full faith in you." "I got it." "You got it?" "Whoo-hoo-hoo!" "Okay, just..." "will you just let me... travis." "Travis, how many were in the last one?" "37." "Oh, there's a lot of!" "@#$% going on." "Buoys are all backwards." "It's 100% truthful what scott's saying." "Guy pulls up on them all !" "@#$% up, it's hard to pull." "I'd like to see him come out here and!" "@#$% throw the hook while i!" "@#$% pull up on the bags, mother!" "@#$% split your throttles." "Twin-screw it." "Just let me..." "i'm running this little thing." "Let me do this part." "Mother!" "@#$%" "on the cornelia marie... mother!" "@#$%" "@#$% wow." "Somebody get this!" "@#$%" "!" "@#$%" "!" "@#$% got smacked in the!" "@#$%damn!" "@#$% face!" "While hauling a pot, the taut line slipped out of the block, snapping deckhand travis lofland to attention." "It's one thing after the next... pretty relentless." "None of this is worth any of my crew members' lives." "!" "@#$%" "!" "@#$%" "okay." "Step into this mother!" "@#$% thing." "With the crew paying for his mistakes, josh steps down." "You all right, travy?" "!" "@#$% felt split my whole!" "@#$% open, dude." "Let's go." "Knock these things out." "Look at that." "That's!" "@#$% a lot of crab, my friend." "With this amount of crab on the table, it'd be really nice to have a sixth guy come down here and help us out." "Make things go a lot smoother a lot faster." "Should i go out and help the guys?" "I'm all for it, dude." "If you're willing to do it, i'm good with it." "Yeah?" "I'll get suited up." "People might ask," ""why isn't casey on deck and josh up there?"" "'cause i have to be here." "He's not ready yet to take this boat out by himself." "Hey, mother!" "@#$% what's going on?" "Oh, Come on now." "I love it!" "Hello, mother!" "@#$% we're all physically drained, and he's all full of energy 'cause he's been cooped up in the wheelhouse for the last week and a half." "What the hell are you doing over there?" "It's really not his place to correct josh." "It's my place to correct josh." "It's like being on a floating prison." "Oh, i was just admiring how gracefully that you pulled up on the bags for me there." "Just saying, when i run the crane, i try to make it easier for my guys, i don't try to make it harder." "That's why we have hydraulic loaders." "That is correct." "But if you're coming up on bags backwards, i think, as a guy that runs a boat with one motor, you should understand why it happened that way." "You pull up on bags like two old people!" "@#$% oh, really?" "Thank you for your opinion." "Hey, you can take that, write it on a piece of paper, and put it in a nice, little... can i just get a!" "@#$% number?" "Get out of the way." "Get out of the way." "Oh, scotty, in the nuts!" "Ow." "Did he just nut him on the coiler he hit him with the diver so hard?" "Right in the!" "@#$% balls." "Karma's a bitch." "I didn't realize his balls were sitting on the coiler." "That was good hit." "One way to shut down an argument on the bering sea... hit him in the old twigs and berries." "Do you remember that saying about messing with the bull, scotty?" "Mother!" "@#$%" "oh, i had my!" "@#$% nuts against here, and you hit me, got me good." "It's all good." "Ooh, you mess with the bull, you get the horn." "237 miles southwest, in dutch harbor..." "!" "@#$% by the system." "...after days of waiting to off-load their tanks... so, 22,000 crab onboard this vessel." "...the time bandit crew wait for the verdict of their 180,000-pound catch." "Yeah, there's gonna be a few dead loss... and it's not my fault." "It's just the way it happened." "Hey, neal, they look good." "The crab look lively." "Worried so much." "Keep alive." "Yeah, the crab still look really good." "No." "That's not a good sign there, my friends." "Hopefully, it will get better as we go." "Hopefully." "Number nine." "16!" "@#$% days, dude." "Now we're just burning $5 bills as they toss them up." "He's not happy." "So, we're looking at, like, 5,000 to 6,000 pounds, maybe more of dead loss." "It's not looking good." "That's like $40,000 worth of crab." "So, that comes off my quota." "Well, you guys took a hit for deck, for wages, 'cause we've never had this much dead loss ever." "We've never held our crab for more than 14 days." "Despite $48,000 in dead loss, the time bandit managed to bring in 173,000 pounds of king crab worth $1.2 million." "Put that one behind us, 'cause it was a long one." "Each crewman will take home 40 grand, 2 grand less than they would have gotten." "That was a test sent from god to keep us humble." "Delivering dead crab knocks the time bandit down, while the wizard remains alive and well at the top of the board." "This is the longest, most evil bitch of!" "@#$% crab season i ever been on." "It's been a nightmare." "We need to put a new flag up because that might have been bad juju not putting a new flag up." "It's gonna be like night and day next trip." "Yep." "I don't drink that much anymore, but after this one, damn it, i'm drinking." "There it goes." "Look at that." "Looks good." "The spankings will continue." "What are you gonna do?" "Crying ain't gonna help." "210 miles northeast of dutch harbor... ah, the weather is just crappy." "...on the northwestern... there is supposed to be weather coming in." "Northwest, 30, 35." "...captain sig hansen approaches his next string in building seas." "Is everybody on deck?" "What about anderson?" "Is he on deck?" "Yeah, where the!" "@#$% do you think i'd be?" "In my bunk?" "Two days after missing a rare chance to drive the boat... it's on the bow." "Don't miss this." "...aspiring skipper jake anderson is still a little ticked off." "He's got to stop thinking about where he should have been by now and start thinking about where he's going from now and in the future." "Oh, and the pity thing... you know, "i should have been farther along"" "and "i should have this" and all that... but maybe it's time we let him haul some gear." "I did promise." "Hey, anderson, why don't you come on up?" "I think it's your time to haul some gear." "I'm serious." "We're three tanks down, you got wind and a bad tide, so have a good time, don't!" "@#$% nobody up." "I'm actually scared." "You should be 'cause you could!" "@#$% somebody up, like, right now." "All right, get in there." "Don't worry about the bags, the numbers, nothing." "You just want to find those pots and not!" "@#$% anybody up." "That's your job." "You should be looking at this and that, not that." "Get your!" "@#$% head out of that window and look here and there." "They know what they're doing, you don't." "That way!" "Slow down 'cause you have to make a turn." "Get to port, man." "!" "@#$% now you got to go in reverse, and the guy that's on the rail's gonna get douched." "Let me do one, and i'll show you." "Here." "Watch." "It's fine." "It's just... watch." "Keep doing what you're doing." "Stop talking." "See, i'm not oversteering everything." "You see how my hand's not !" "@#$% doing this all the time?" "But you just got to know when." "That's something that takes time." "You don't just jump up here and!" "@#$% start running a boat." "It doesn't work that way." "I'm sorry." "All right, try this one." "There it is." "That's what i'm talking about right there." "Jake's come a long way, you know?" "He's had some issues, and now he's put those demons behind him, and look where he is now." "Proud of him." "So, is this your future?" "Are you kidding me?" "How fast did it happen for you?" "Do you want me to leave so you can do this by yourself for the next hour?" "If you think that this is fun right now, this is the exact opposite of fun." "It's awesome here, though, you know." "Like, one of my favorite places to be... in this chair." "That's what i like!" "It's cool 'cause everybody knows that i want to run a boat, you know." "They know." "And they accommodate me and my dreams." "It's everybody here that are letting me do this." "Hey, john." "Hey, andy." "You know, we had to wait 16 days to take our crab off." "It ended up costing us dead crab." "Cost me and you a lot of money, so, i mean... all right, gents." "See you in a little bit, boss." "When i get josh to the point where he can take this boat by himself, i'll gladly tell everybody that he's ready for it." "You need to get some sleep?" "It means a lot to me that they would do this for me... everybody." "I hope they know that, you know?" "But we're crabbers, we're not supposed to say stuff like that to each other." "And we don't."
