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 k*lling 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.
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.
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.
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
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 g*n.
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.
...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.
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 w*r.
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.
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 a*s with it.
Son of a b*tch, 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 b*tch"
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...
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 b*llet.
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.
