20x03 - A Titan Among Men

Post by bunniefuu »

[Lawrence] I'm going
to miss you on here.

I know. I miss having you.

- Hey, you want a job?
- Yeah.

- Thanks, Lawrence.
- All right, good luck.

- I love you too.
- Hey, take care, okay?

[Sig] Hey, Jake.

Go get 'em. See ya.

I would have liked
to had him here

for a little while longer
to just take advantage of it,

but Jake got what he
wanted, and I'm happy for him.

Good for him.

[Jake] I'm grateful that Sig
helped me out, but I'm a captain.


I fought so long, so
hard my entire career.

From deckhand, deck boss,
engineer, captain, owner.

I've done it all.

Getting to the top,
that's all I wanted.

But I'm starting over now.

I got a new boat to
operate, the Titan Explorer,

and I'm just a hired g*n.

I can get fired at any moment.

So I have to earn
the trust of the owners.

There she is.

This isn't just about one
season of king crab for me.

I'm going to prove that
they're going to want

to keep me in that
chair for every season,

every fishery to come.

[narrator] In Dutch
Harbor, Alaska...


- [Felipe speaking]
- [Jake] Hey, Felipe.

Hey, nice to meet
you, Jake Anderson.

- Rolando. Yeah.
- Rolando? You guys ready to go fishing?

[Jake] All right, let's go.

[narrator] After losing his
longtime vessel, the
Saga...

Oh, my God, I got the
coolest boat around.

Look at all this.

So many fun toys to play with.

Captain Jake
Anderson claims the helm


of the 125-foot Titan
Explorer with twice

the carrying capacity and
a 44% greater top speed


than his old ride.

[Jake] I'm so excited.

I've got the most sophisticated
equipment that money can buy.

I've got enough b*ll*ts
on deck to compete with

the National Armory.

Boom, nine-foot rudders.

Look at that.

I can make this boat
do 13 knots if I want to,

which, for crab
boats, that's fast.

You know, Jake's still got a
lot to prove to everybody else,

even myself, so we're
going to see how he does.

[narrator] Already nine
days into the fall season...


[Jake speaking]

Roger.

Jake must push his
new Cadillac and crew


to their limit to catch
his $750,000 worth of


red king crab and prove his
worth as a skipper for hire.


[Felipe speaking]

I don't even know
where this stuff goes.

Let's see if I can get off the
dock without hurting anything.

- Let's go fishing!
- Booyah!

[Jake] Whoo!

We're going king crab fishing!

Oh, yeah, she's got power, man.

Whoo!

So now I've got to
earn trust from the crew.

I've got to earn trust
from the owners.

If I don't catch my crab, I
can get fired at any moment.

Whoo!

[narrator] 230 miles
northeast of Dutch Harbor,


on the Northwestern...

[bleep] down there.

No, that's not going to do
it. It's starting to get weak.

There was a lot
of sign in this area.

It looked good,
but I don't know.

That's not going to do it.

[man] Where's all the crab at?

[Sig] If a fisherman
is not doing well at all,


sometimes quota can be
yanked right from under his feet.


So we're going to need
to find something quickly.

[narrator] Scraping the dregs
from a three-day town soak,


Captain Sig Hansen
reads the news in his pots.


His school of crab
is on the move.


[Sig over radio] Damn it.

I want to head farther
down into the canyon,

but when it opens up like that,

it's a lot of area to cover.

The more the area,
the more gear you want.

We don't have that
luxury right now.

[narrator] Signs indicate the
red king herd is migrating north


into a canyon, but with 35% of

the fleet-wide quota caught,
the skipper needs another boat


to dial in the
location, and fast.


[Sig] I mean, you can
see the boats around.

We got Johnathan in the
area, and we did work together

in the beginning of the season,

so two heads are
better than one,

or one and a half heads.

[narrator] Eleven miles away...

[all cheering]

- Yeah, baby! They're
coming. [bleep] - Crab, baby!

Well, I'll be, look at
that pot. Look at that pot.

Look at that son
of a b*tch. Whoo!

[narrator] On the Time Bandit...

That's a good one.
Congratulations. Good job.

That was a good pot. I know that was
a good pot. That was a really good pot.

Okay. I'm talking to myself.

I'm going to pat myself
on the back for that one.

Good job.

That was a good job.
That was a good job.

That was a good pot.

[man] Yeah! Whoo!

[Johnathan] We have
an offload coming.

Hopefully this
will get us through.

[narrator] Captain Johnathan Hillstrand
works a school of his own in the south,


racing to pack on another


before his delivery
in five days' time.


Okay, guys, we're
going to set these back,

and we'll see if we can
get another pick out of them.

Bait them up good, and
we'll see what happens.

Yeah! Whoo!

Whoo!

[man] Yeah!

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

[Sig on phone] You got me, John?

[Johnathan on
phone] Hey there, Sig.

No, I see you a few
miles south over there.

How's it going for you?

[man] Come on, baby!

[Johnathan] Well,
I was doing well.

And now it's up and down, so I don't
know how long it's going to last here.

[all yelling]

- [man 1 over radio] Let's go, baby.
- [man 2] [bleep] yeah.

Well, if that is the case,
then maybe we can

kind of spread out over there,
get some gear in that direction,

take a look.

It looks better north, so I
think we should jump north.

Okay.

Why don't I just meet
you up around the 20 line?

Yeah, 163, 20.

Just, we'll run up, take a look.

I mean, we just covered
twice the ground, twice as fast.


[Johnathan] All right, buddy.

Okay, talk to you later.

[Sig] Okay, I'll
check you later.


I'm out.

[Johnathan chuckling]

- [crew cheering]
- We'll see.

Yeah.

[Johnathan] This
lift sinks ships.

And all this crab thing
works all of a sudden.

Ships off like a faucet.

Just gotta keep my mouth
shut till we pull all the gear.

You can come over and join me.

Yeah, dude.

[Sig] John told me
that he was setting.


And that's not setting.

You know, he's on AIS, and
that's not how you maneuver

when you're setting gear.

I use it to kind of see
what a guy's actually doing,

because, you know, if
you're making a certain turn

or you're going a
certain direction,

you know, you can tell.

And what I see here is not
what he told me he was doing.

I don't think he's lying to me.

Either way, we got to...

get into that canyon,

and then hopefully
he'll stick to his words.

What are you doing, John?

[narrator] Twenty-four
miles southeast...


[Rick] This weather's nasty!

Whoo!

- [Rick over radio] You guys okay?
- [crew] Roger.

You know what? I'm
thankful for this opportunity.

I like it out here.

If it was easy, every
swinging [bleep]

would be out here
taking our money.

Weather's picking
up, and this set here at

the Gooseneck is going
to be fricking horrid.

I got to...

follow the exact depth
curve, and in doing so,

this set's gonna be very wet.

But I think there's gonna
be some nice, clean big crab

just hiding on the
side of that valley.

It'll be a buffet
line for every pot.

[narrator] Piloting the


for the first time
as full owner,


Captain Rick Shelford deploys
his first set of the season


in search of his $1.1
million red king crab quota.


[Rick] Just bought this boat.

There is still huge amounts
of money that have to go out

in order to keep the boat.

[narrator] Unfortunately for
Rick, his set runs perpendicular


to the tide, opening
his crew to broadsides


from 16-foot swells.

All right, guys, make sure you
keep an eye on the rail there.

Just have each other's backs.

[Jacob] It's on the move.

Sometimes you
just have to run into it


with the weather on the
wrong side of the boat.


That's just how it is.

Sometimes the most
efficient way to the gear

isn't the most comfortable.
That's just fishing.

[Rick] Jacob's
impressed me this season.


He's stepping it up.

He's got so much promise
to be able to run the boat


as a captain.

Let's get you. Let's go.

- [Rick over radio] First pot.
- [Jacob] Going over.

Whoo!

[crew shouting indistinctly]

[Rick] Watch the rail,
guys. Watch the rail.

Come on.

- [Jacob] Inbound, baby.
- Oh, yeah.

Over!

I got the Wizard here.

We keep seeing more and
more boats on the radar.

Never want to fish by people.

So I got to get these
pots off the boat fast.

[man] Whoo!

Come on, baby, come
on. Let's go, let's go.

Heads up, heads up, heads up.

[crew] Whoo!

[Rick] Uh, rail!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[narrator] On the
Aleutian Lady...

[Rick] Got a rail.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[bleep]

[bleep]

[Rick over radio]
Are you okay, Jacob?

- You okay, Jacob?
- [Jacob grunts]

[Rick] Holy crap,
that was a big one.

You all right, man?

[Jacob] Yeah, I'm fine.

[Rick over radio]
Watch the rail.

Little late, Rick. [bleep]

Jacob just did a Superman
across the stinking deck.

[narrator] Exposed to the
weather, captain-in-training


Jacob Hutchins gets
body slammed by


the Bering Sea,
launching him 25 feet


from the starboard rail.

Luckily, after I was already
washed across the deck,

Rick told us to be careful.

Whoo.

Be careful. [bleep] damn it.

He was a bit late to the party.

[man] Be careful.

[laughs]

Nice work, guys. Way to
bust a*s getting these pots off.

Let's get this stuff wrapped
up, and when we wake up,

we'll be able to start hauling
some frickin' king crab gear.

[Jacob] Yeah!

- [Rick over radio] Careful, all right?
-
[crew chuckling]

[man groaning]

[narrator] Eighteen
miles south...


[Jake] I need to get these
pots off and get them soaking

because everybody out
here has already been fishing.

- On the Titan Explorer...
- [man] Hold on, bring it back!

Bring it back!

[narrator] In his maiden voyage
helming the
Titan Explorer...

We'll set this in the deep
from probably 99, 100 fathoms.

Then I'll just kind of cover
the ground to the south.

Captain Jake maxes out
the
Titan's 1,400 horsepower

and 13 knot top
speed to arrive in


the southern
grounds in record time


and quickly deploy all 130 pots.

[Rolando speaking]

I'm excited to see what
she can do. Here we go.

[crew cheering]

I can't wait for
fishing this [bleep].

Hell yeah.

All right, Felipe, set
it when you're ready.

Rock and roll, buddy.

[Jake over radio]
Doing 6.6 knots.

You guys go faster
than this, you think?

[Rolando] Yeah.

[Marc speaking]

This crew's a bunch
of professionals.

We've all been
doing this a long time,

minus the greenhorn.

I'm doing eight and a half.
You guys think you can do nine?

Yeah, we can do it!

[Jake] I'm doing 10.1 now.

- You guys gonna be okay with that?
- ba*ls to the wall, man.

- [Felipe] Yeah!
- Coming in hot!

All right, full tilt
boogie, boys.

[bleep]

[in English]

- [bleep]
- What the [bleep]?

[Felipe speaking]

[bleep]

[Jake over radio] What
the
[bleep] happened?

[Felipe yelling]

[bleep], [bleep] damn it.

I'm going too fast. Sorry
about that there, Rolando.


My crew here, fantastic.

But they made a mistake.

And I got to know, what
am I looking at here?

What can I do?

How far can I push the team?

How far can I push the boat?
I need to know my boundaries.


That's going to be something
we'll keep an eye on here.

And that's the
nerve-racking part.

Now I got to prove
I can catch the crab.


[narrator] Forty-eight
miles north...


Okay, guys, just a few miles.

We're going to start
dumping them out.

Eight, nine, ten, 11.

[narrator] On the
Northwestern...

Well, just right ahead of us,
that canyon that we're going to,

you know, that's where
it starts to dip down

and really get spread out.

The deal was I can go down
in it, John can go down in it.

We'll just take
one direction each.

The idea being, you know,

you're prospecting twice
as fast with more gear.

[narrator] Captain Sig prepares
to fire off 50 prospect pots


on one side of the ridge,
counting on his partner boat


to set on the other
side to triangulate


where his school
of crab is heading.


We're hoping that
they march this way,

and you just got to get
the pots on to find out.

[grunts]

Are you on there, John?

Time Bandit.

Johnny.

He's not even here.

He's not even in the
area, for crying out loud.

He's still where he was.

Guy never left.

He's still picking gear, man.

If he's holding out on
me, that's going to stink.


If you got a little spot
that you're not giving up,

don't say you're
going to come here

and help out with prospecting
when you're holding out on me

and still getting crab.

[narrator] Fifteen
miles south...


[phone ringing]

[Sig on phone] You got me, John?

[Johnathan] How
you doing over there?

[Sig] Yeah, are you on your way?

[bleep] yeah!

- [bleep]
- Yeah!

[Johnathan on phone]
Slowly but surely here.

I'm the tortoise.
You're the hare.

Yeah, I'm coming.

Anything change down your way?

It's a mixed bunch here.

- [man 1] Oh, yeah.
- [man 2] Yeah, baby!

[man 1] Okay,
okay, there's light.

Yeah, so I think it's
the back of the pack,

so maybe north is
the answer here, y'all.

Well, the clock's ticking, man.

Get them on. Let's get up there.

Don't worry, I'm on the way.

Okay.

Out.

[man] Going over!

Okay.

[laughs]

Doesn't add up.

There's definitely something
fishy going on here.

It's offensive when a
guy's trying to lie to you

and you can read through it,
because then he assumes that

you're as stupid as he is.

If you can't pull off a lie
better than that, don't do it.

It's insulting to me.

All right, guys.

I got a little something to check
on before we dump everything.

If John's hiding
something, I'll find out.

There's only one
way to truly know,

and that's to use your own gear.

So that's what
we're going to do.

It's pretty obvious
something's going on here.

If I get a read
through your lie,

then you shouldn't be lying.

Don't play in my sandbox.

[narrator] 220 miles
northeast of Dutch Harbor...


All right, here we are.

Whoa...

[Rick speaking
indistinctly over radio]

[narrator] ...on
the
Aleutian Lady.

[Jacob over radio]
These pots are lacking.

Ooh.

[Rick] Right now, I'm
frustrated with how today's gone.


The first stage of
our initial set is a bust.

I'm just completely
tired, no sleep.


We need to catch these crab.

Single-digits
ain't gonna cut it.


- That one's full!
- [bleep]

[Jacob speaking]

Crab count. Zero, nine.

[Rick over radio] Hey, Jacob,
you wanna come up here?


[Jacob speaking]

So I want you to come
up here where we had sign,

and I just want you to lay this
out right on that contour line.

[narrator] Seeing an increase
from three crab per pot to nine,


Rick charges
captain-in-training Jacob


with deploying 30 pots at
the more productive depth.


- Remember, phone call, me, any problem.
- [Jacob] All right.

All right, guys.
Get ready to set.

[man] Go!

[Jacob] Twelve
years ago now, 2011.


I was homeless, living
in the back of my truck

in Aberdeen, Washington.

I would have never
believed that I would be up in

the captain's chair as
a captain-in-training.

It's surreal.

There you go.

[man] Going over.

- [Jacob] Alpha 39.
- [man over radio] Lima 3-9.

Let's go.

Our buddy Keith on the
Wizard's right up here.

Yeah, that's Keith
coming right at us.

It's kind of interesting
seeing the Wizard out here

just one year after he fires me.

- [bleep]
- [Keith] Go!

- You're done.
- What the [bleep]?

Get the [bleep].

- We're over this [bleep].
- Day.

He told me I wasn't
even fit for the bait then.

Now I'm driving a boat.

He shut his ARS off.

That's one of his tells.

We can say what we want,
but he can catch some crab.

So we're going to go ahead
and drop a few of these pots

right next to Keith.

I see some pots over here. I
want to lace them a little bit.

[man] Go, go, go!

There goes one.

Good to see you, Keith.

[man] Over!

I am standing on top of him
right now, but money's money.

Whether Keith's
right next to us or not,

I think Rick might say good job.

Maybe he would respect
that I'm trying to be a captain

and make decisions
based on my gut feeling.

Who knows?

I guess we'll have to
see when he wakes up.

[narrator] Sixteen
miles northwest,


on the Time Bandit...

- Oh, baby!
- We got our gear down south.

We got to keep pulling 20s
and 30s and 40s and 50s,

and we'll have a
hell of a season.

- Come on!
- Come on, big crabber.

[bleep]

[Johnathan] This sucks.

Well, this has dropped
way off right here now.

- All right.
- We like four.

We like four.

Got to shake that.

Got to get these
pots on some crabs.

Yes.

[man speaking, laughing]

[Johnathan speaking]

He's around top.

Sig pot. [smacks lips]

My pot. Look at it.
My pot's right here.

Look at Sig's pots.
They're right there.

Right there. I know. I know.

I don't know why we
gotta play this game

because there's
no buoys anywhere.

Do you see any
buoys anywhere else?

That's just dumb.

[man] Damn it!

Where's all the crab at?

[narrator] Just a mile
north on the
Northwestern...

[man] Yeah!

There it is.

- [man] Likey, likey.
- [Sig over radio] Are those our keepers?

- Yep.
- Right.

[Sig over radio] Awesome.

[narrator] After lacing 20
pots into
Time Bandit gear

to let John know that he
knows they were holding out...


[bleep] awesome.

Captain Sig finds
the northbound school


above Hillstrand's
former hotspot.


[man] Bam!

- [cell phone ringing] - [Sig]
Hey, there. How goes it?

[Johnathan] I see
you got gear over here.


Gotcha. You got
some gear over here.

How you doing over there?
What kind of numbers you got?

[Sig] Oh, I thought you
were on to something,

but I'm not seeing anything
that I thought I was going to see.

[man] Whoo, sweet.

[Sig] No, no,
it's not big at all.

It could be gone,
for all I know.

If they're slowing down for you,

then they should have
been through me here,

but I'm not seeing it.

Okay.

Okay, man.

Um...

We're doing okay. We're
surviving over here, too.

All right, John.

Roger.

[Johnathan] I don't know why
we just couldn't work together.

I don't think it's in his
chromosomes or his genes.

I don't think he can do it.

He can't tell me
what's in his gear.

His DNA won't let him do it.

His brain can't let
his mouth do the...

"I just caught a


He just can't do it.

I want to go... Let's
go visit Sig. Stand by.

We're going to go
visit Sig real quick.


Roger that, baby.

Roger that.

[laughing]

[narrator] Thirty
miles southeast...


[Mac] This is Jake's
first day in the ranch here.

And we're going
to see how he does.

It's so loud. You
hear that, Jenna?

It's so [bleep] loud.

That's my throttles.

[Jenna laughs] You're gonna
have to throttle me like that.


[Jake] I barely put it in gear,
and I'm already going twice

as fast as I would on the Saga.

[narrator] After planting a
full stack of gear down south,


Captain Jake approaches
the first
Titan Explorer pot

of his career,

looking to show his new
crew and the boat owners


that the right
skipper is at the helm.


[Jake] Coming up on the
biggest haul of my career.

Oh, there they are.

All right, here
comes the first one.

[Rolando] Hey!

Oh, please, God.

[Marc] Jake's still
got a lot to prove.

He's a young guy, and he
just came up from the bottom,

but we're gonna see how he does.

Hopefully he gets
us on the crab.

Hopefully we can
knock this out real quick.

[Jake] I've got to earn
trust from the crew.


I've got to earn trust
from the owners.


There's a lot at stake.

[Felipe] First pot coming up.

[Jake over radio] All right,
here comes the first one.


[narrator] On the
Titan Explorer...

Oh, please God.

[Felipe] First pot's coming up.

Here it comes.

[Rolando] Yep.

Yeah, baby!

Oh, [bleep] awesome.

- [all cheering]
- [Felipe] Yeah!

- [bleep]
- Looking good, buddy.

Looking real good.

[ululating]

- [Mac] I'll take that one right here.
- Yeah, hold that one.

This is going in my
bucket right here.

Yeah.

[Jake] Now look at it.

It's huge.

Look at that table.

That's a beautiful
red right there.

That... You can't
ask for a better crab.

See what they look like.

Four-eight.

- [bleep] - [crew
cheering] Yeah, baby!

[Jake] Looks like the
king of crab is back.

We'll be done.

If it continues like
that, you're done.

But we'll see.

[narrator] Eighteen
miles northwest...


Frickin' bag should
be right here.

On the Aleutian Lady.

[Rick over radio] Keep an eye on
the rail. I'm trying to find the buoys.


[Jacob] Roger!

[Rick] We're hauling
our string that Jacob set,

but this pot...

isn't where it should be.

Oh, oh.

Well, it's our pot, but it is
far from where it should be.

And it looks like we got
a pot right next to ours.

[narrator] Twenty hours
after Jacob set a 30-pot string


near Wizard gear.

Huh.

Okay, this is going
to frickin' piss me off.

Could you set these pots
closer to Keith's string, dude?

[narrator] Captain Rick finds
evidence his aspiring skipper


went rogue.

I'm not happy about this.

He runs off to
follow frickin' Keith?

I mean, come on, man.

It looks like I might have
set these pots a little too close

to Keith's string.

Jacob, when you call an audible,

make sure you don't set it
on top of another boat's gear.


I didn't know we were gonna
drift that far into each other's pots.

This was a bonehead
move on Jacob's part.

He should not have done this.

[Jacob] Yeah!

Oh, yeah.

[all cheering]

That pot looks frickin' rockin'.

[crew] Yeah!

Clean draft.

Whoo!

[sighs]

That's good.

He's just got to learn.

As a captain, you got
to find your own craft.

[man] Whoo!

[Rick] Keith is going
to be frickin' livid now.

[narrator] Seventeen
miles north...


[man] Yeah, buddy!

On the Northwestern.

Damn, [bleep], these
are good numbers.

[man over radio] Forty-six.

Wow!

Forty-six, whoo!

We're going to set
these back out down here.

Just get ready.

[narrator] After suspecting that his
partner Johnathan forgot to share


he was on good fishing...

[Sig] I can see from
here they're big.

So there's not a bunch
of females and juveniles.

This is big crab, and that's
half the battle right there.

[narrator] Captain Sig
welcomes John's school


of northbound king
crab into his own pots,


just four miles above
the
Time Bandit's gear.

Look at 'em come
up. We're k*lling it.

[whooping triumphantly]

Sig's going to
go turn a ball pop.

And we're just
going to go say hi,

and then I want to see how
many crabs is in the spot.

[Sig] Is that John?

It's Johnathan.

[man] Whoo! All right!

[Johnathan] That's
a good pot, dude.

That's a good pot.

[bleep] 40s and 50s.
That's like 50, dude.

[man] That's damn
near the crossfire.

Yeah, that's damn
near a crossfire.

I don't like this one bit.

[man over radio] Seventy-one!

He had to see the
biggest pot of the string.

[crew laughing]

I told him there's no
secret hot spot here.

[laughs]

[phone ringing]

[Johnathan on phone] Hey,
hey, Sig. You got me here?


[Sig on phone] Oh, hey.

[Johnathan] You told me
you were going to be up north.

You said you're making
a fence up north, and...

It looks like you fell
off the fence, Sig,


and the pot's landing right
in front of my boat here.


[Sig] You held out on me, man.

Freddy wants to
make a delivery for you.

He wants to give you something.

Whoo!

[Johnathan over radio]

I'm doing nine knots. It's
faster than the Saga could go.

Now watch this.

I can make this
boat do 13 knots.

Wicked, dude.

You ain't doing that with the
Northwestern or the Saga right there.

Now watch, he'll get it.

That's Darth Vader
right there, dude.

[narrator] Easy, Jake.

Don't break it
your first trip out.


Freddy wants to
make a delivery for you.

Wants to give you something.

[Freddy speaking]

[man] Go!

- Ahhh!
- [laughs]

Hey! What's he doing?

Oh, my God!

[Freddy] Yeah, baby! Whoo!

[Johnathan laughs]

[Johnathan on phone]
You owe me one now.

Crazy b*stard.

That was mean.

[horn toots]

[crew] Yeah, baby!

- Yeah!
- Whoo!

He egged me! I haven't
been egged in years, man.

I can't even see
through my windows.

What's wrong with you?

Payback!

[Johnathan] It's competition.
It's a competitive thing.


You're just too
competitive to be a partner.

Not funny. We just
washed those windows.

- [laughs]
- [crew] Yeah!

[man over radio] Forty-five.

Wow.

[laughs] Guys are happy.

Let's hope it... Let's
hope it keeps up.

Wash that [bleep] off.

[Jacob] Nice crab. Nice crab.

Whoo!

[Rick] I'm going to
talk to Jacob about this.

He ain't going to be
up here driving his boat


if he can't follow
and do what he says.


[Keith over radio] Message,
pick me up here, Rick?


Do you copy?

Hey, Keith. I gotcha.

[Keith speaking]

can't afford to lose one because
somebody [bleep] chopped it up.

Yeah, you're just
about to go up to him.

But, Jacob set a
frickin' string on there.


- I got the line set up.
- Are you [bleep] kidding me? [bleep] you.

I can't.

Breaking up. Breaking up.

Breaking up. Breaking up.

Hey, Keith, I'm
not understanding.

Breaking up. Breaking up.

[bleep] you, a*s [bleep].

- All right.
- [bleep]

[laughs]

What the [bleep]?

I mean... oh, dear Lord.

I get being enraged.

For him to act like that, it's
a good way to burn bridges

so you don't have any
friends left in the Bering Sea.

People make mistakes, and
that's what we all have done.

And I got to say...

[Jacob] Oh, yeah.

Big.

[Rick] We're on good fishing.

[Jacob] Oh, yeah!

[Rick over radio] Mr. Jacob
Hutchins, good job.


I'm kind of glad the string
ended up where it did.

Woo-hoo!

[Jake] I put the pedal to the
metal, and it's paying off over here.

[Felipe] Yeah!

[crew cheering]

[Jake] Look at that! What
do you think, Rolando?

Is it worth it now?

[laughs]

We're in them now!

Felipe!

- Get 'em bagged, baby! Yeah!
- Yeah, baby!

King crab! I'm back!

I'm back, b*tches!

[all cheering]

[Johnathan] What the hell?

- [man] Whoo, look at that one.
- [Johnathan over radio] You got me, Sig?

I got you, pal.

You did pretty good on that
swing over by me, didn't you?


So let me ask you this.

Can I squeeze in somewhere here?

You know what? Honestly,
there's a couple crabbing out here.

It looks good.

Hey, you're a good
man, Sigurd Hansen.

Sneaky, but you're a good man.

[laughs]

Well, what we just did here
could have been resolved

a lot faster,
with a lot less drama,

and a lot less fuel.

But we just got to stay on
these things,

get Johnny in here,
and get him while we can.
