22x10 - He's in the Water!

[bunniefuu]

Wizard's one
of the highliners of the fleet.

Okay, this is
definitely a problem.

We've got 160 pots in.

The weather's definitely
starting to pick up.

We've got a guy going over here
to get a chain.

- You good?
- Yeah.

We can't set gear if we don't
know where we set it.

We'll just write down every
GPS location, we got that.

Man overboard!

Oh, man, he's in the water.

- What the [bleep]
- He's in the water!

Life, I got it.

Watch out, watch out.

Turn to the stern!


Dutch Harbor,

on the Russian line.

Good.

I've been learning a lot about
opie fishing.

I just haven't been able to get
up at the helm.

I kind of feel like a passenger
a little bit.

I just need that opportunity.

Assert dominance.

Right, right, right.

Well, thanks, brother.
I love you.

Aboard the Northwestern ...

There's a ton of boats
right across the Russian line.

God, I want to just tell these
guys what I think about them.

Turn it off.

That's what I think about them
right now.

Get into our own game.

On the hook for 200,000 pounds
of opilio quota,

Captain Sig Hansen and fresh
hire, Sophia "Bob" Nielsen

tracked the biomass
on a northbound march,

eager to cut them off

before they defect into
Russian waters.

Our crab are going across that
line into their pots.

And I know it, I don't like it,

and I want to get the crab
before they do.

Well, good thing we have
John's gear too, right?

Yeah, that was
the whole point.

Hopefully, John
will pull this weight.

Just four miles south,
on the Time Bandit...

Look at all those lights.

It's a damn city.

I mean, it's just lit up
over there.

There must be crab

coming from Alaska,
defecting to Russia.

Joining forces to construct
an iron curtain of pots to halt

the mass defection of crab to
the northwest,

Captain Johnathan Hillstrand
nears the Russian line,

still 180,000 pounds short
of his million-dollar quota.

Hey, Sig.

Got me here, Sig?

I got you.

That's a lot of boats across
that line.

That's crazy, dude.

and 178
right on the corner there.

I set, you set, I set,
you set, I set.

That's what I'm talking
about, buddy.

- OK, set it up.
- Opilio!

- Opilio!
- Whoo, getting wet.

Golly.

Going over, guys.

- Going over.
- Go get it!

There goes the first pot.

Dangerously close
together here.

A little too close to
my comfort.

But I'm just doing what Sig
wants me to do.

I'm his boy.
I'm your boy, Sig.

I'm your huckleberry.

All right, back up to speed,
here we go.

First one's going in the water.

That's unreal.

Look at all the boats that are
just right on the line.

Keep setting as fast
as you can.

Can't be any further apart than
a quarter mile apart.

- You got it.
- Good job, buddy.

- Going over.
- Whoo!

- Thanks everybody.
- Whoo!

OK, send it.

That's about as patriotic
as I can be.

I want my American crab in
my American tanks.

That's awesome.

God bless America.

In Dutch Harbor...

- Overhead!
- ...aboard the Aleutian Lady.

It feels like we've just been
stuck in purgatory here,

not being able to do what we're
supposed to do.

We just spent a week
working on the pots,

adding shots, and doing
all that.

It's going to be probably
the coldest winter in decades.

Got it?

But I have 400,000 pounds of
bairdi to catch,

so we need to get out of town

and get my bairdi caught as
fast as humanly possible.

Yeah, baby.

Readying to tackle his 2.4
million bairdi quota,

Captain Rick Shelford prepares
his boat

and his newly-christened
greenhorns for the
ferocious northern waters.

Hey, Nico, can you actually
look at these real quick?

Okay.

John Green of
Lakanto, Florida.

Too much slack, or?

I got John.

He knows how to work,
he knows how to do things.

He's smart,

but he talks a lot.
- He is a talker.

Oh, yeah, yeah, no,
you want to...

Yeah, okay, yeah, I got you.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi, miss you so much!

And Todd Meadows,
devoted father from

Elma, Washington.

Hey, Riv.

What do you want to say
to Daddy?

- Do you want a hug?
- Miss you, Riv.

What do you want to fish for?

Crab, or?

You want to be a crabber, too?

Todd has been around boats

and knows what's expected
of him.

Is the boat big?

Like, 55 pounds?

Yeah.

You know my old boat,
the one in Westport?

It's like two and a half
of those boats.

But he's green.

He's never been on
the Bering Sea.

All right,
I love you guys.

There you go.

All good,
we're good.

Wow.
Look at that.

That ice edge is coming down

faster than I've seen it in
probably 30 years.

We have to pivot.

There you go.

Hey, Nico.

This is like one of those
calls, but I think this is

actually going to get us
home quicker,

even though it sucks.

You guys spent all that time
adding shots, but I think with

that ice edge coming down,
I want to set our gear shallow.

Like, some of our strings will
be one shot country.

- Want to do that now?
- Yeah.

If we can go up there in
the shallows, we could haul

twice as much gear per day.

There's a good shot we're gonna
get home two weeks quicker.

All right, well, let's get
this done.

Let's get out of here,
all right?



on the Wizard .

Got 160 pots

I need to get in the water
before the storm really

settles in.

Yeah.

We're getting the chains off,
getting ready to set some gear

here a little bit,

you know, and see where
the crab are at.

This fleet has gone
further north than it should have.

But we aren't.

Just went right to the west
side, out on the edge there.

OK, this is
definitely a problem.

I still got to figure out what
the hell's wrong

with the plotter.
- Right.

Well, we're going to hope to
get a call back from the check,

which I doubt.

Yeah, I mean, the only thing
we have right now is,

we have no position.

It was working fine all the way
out of town, and then we were

right up against the rocks with
the Arctic Sea.

After Captain Keith Colburn
steamed 60 miles off-course to

aid the beached fishing vessel,
Arctic Sea...

I am heading for
the Coast Guard's position for

the Arctic Sea.

...and arrived at the wreck
site just hours after

the Coast Guard airlifted
the nine persons on board...

The Arctic Sea is officially
no longer in this fishery.

...the veteran skipper races
back to his target grounds,

while his crew breaks chains on
a 160-pot stack.

Looks like Lynn's over
the side still.

What's he got going on
over there?

Is it [bleep] tangled up
or some [bleep]

Hey, I don't know.

Did you turn it on the way off
and turn it back on?

I shut it down, yes.

Nothing.

Can't set gear if we don't
know where we set it.

We'll just write down
every GPS location,

we've got that.
- Man overboard!

- Oh, my, he's in the water!
- What the [bleep]

- He's in the water.
- Lights, I got it.

Watch out,
watch out.

- Man overboard!
- Man overboard!

Hit the man overboard
thing, Mouse, I got this!

Go!

Hit that [bleep]
man overboard thing!

- Coming around!
- Coming around.

- Let's keep some eyes on him.
- Turn, Mouse, turn!

Turn?

Hard to starboard,
Hard to starboard!

All right, hey!

Let's keep an eye on him.

somebody can get the suit on.

Robby, I got point.

You tell the guys down here,

We need the survival [bleep].
- Yeah.

I got it.

Turn, Mouse, and
come around hard!

The life sling.

We need the life sling out on
deck immediately.

- She's got one.
- Well get another one.

- Okay.
- Where is he?

Let's get the life sling down
to them.

Crane, Mouse, let me hop
in there.

Come on, just let me hop in.
Let me go in.

- Where is he? You got him?
- Yes, I got him.

You want me to drive up on
him or not?

No, just get out and let me
drive up.

Okay, just one second.

Let me get the boat and shut
it down.

- Show me where he is.
- I got him.

I got him,
let me hop in, Mouse.

Come back here,
we need--

We need a second,

we need a second,
[bleep] uh...

Life sling up there.

I got him, I got him.

Sofer, we gotta--

Roger.

You got to come around
and give him a lead, bro.

- I'm giving it to him.
- OK, he's looking OK.

Awake and he's conscious.

He's got his head above water,
that's for sure.

OK, is he swimming?

Looks like he's moving, OK.

I'm gonna idle up
to him, alright.

It looks like he can hear us.

Tell him to just put it over
himself underneath his arms, OK?

So we lift him by his chest.

Tell him to stay where he is,
do not swim to the boat yet.

- Stop swimming.
- Stop swimming.

Give
him a lee here.

No, if I come hard to starboard,

we're going to blow
right down on top of him.

[bleep] [bleep] [bleep]

[bleep]

We've got to get them back
here, bro, so that they can

throw that thing and let
the wind on them.

I know, I know.

[bleep] let's knock him out with
a
[bleep] damn life
ring, you morons!

All right, guys.

Roger!

If we get too far over here,
we're going to [bleep] roll

right down on top of him.

I'm not, I'm just sitting here.

OK, now we're in the ditch.

We're going to
[bleep] roll right down on top
of him.

OK, we got to get him
on the boat here shortly.

Okay, tell me what's going on?

All right, we got him hooked
up, and it's

Don't worry about it.

We got you,
that's for sure.

We got you, man,
we got you.

- We got you.
- Let's get this off.

Get it off, come on.

- Don't be sorry!
- Thank you bro.

- [bleep]
- Don't be sorry.

- Come on, get in.
- Get inside.

[bleep]
- Get in.

Get in, Lynn, get inside!

OK, let me in there.

You go see what the [bleep] is
going on.

I'm going to just idle into
the weather here.

OK, yeah, just keep it
straight into it, Mouse.

OK.

Whee is he?

- Where's Lynn at?
- We got him.

OK.

- Well.
- OK, bro.

Put him right here.

I'm seeing [bleep],
I'm seeing a smile.

Gotcha.

- We got you, man.
- [bleep]

Thank you.

I mean, I got it.
I got it.

There's no way you would have
been swimming.

How do you feel?

- Hey, Lynn, do not apologize.
- Oh, yeah.

All right, let's just get
you out of that wet stuff real

quick, all right?
How cold are you?

Come on in, Lynn.
Yeah.

We'll take care of your [bleep]
just drop [bleep]

Yeah buddy, come on,
let's go.

Right on in, let's go, alright.

Hey, where's your
stuff?

Hey, you guys, go ahead,
gear down, warm up,

and come on in.

We'll deal with this in
a minute, all right?

Right now, just everybody take
a big chill pill, relax,

get your gear off, come
on inside.

Oh, man.

So something happened
with the chain.

So the chain got

ran up through the rail,
and I think the pots must have

shifted over to that rail,
and the chain was pinched

between the bottom pot.

I was trying to crowbar it out
and pull at the same time,

and as I was pulling,
the crowbar slipped,

chain slipped, and then we just
kind of took a roll

and lost my balance, so...

It was a narrow one.

Thank you guys for saving
my [bleep] life.

Yeah,
thank God.

Thank God you guys were
all there.

- Good job.
- Never want to see you
out there again.

I'll tell you,
I'd rather [bleep]

You know...

You don't have time to think
about it when it's happening.

When you're in the middle
of an emergency,

you're just dealing with it.

So...
Uh...

Well, that's it.

We had a kid in the water,
and we got him back.

Everything went right,

when so many things could have
gone wrong.

Proud of my crew.


Dutch Harbor,

on the Russian line.

Hang on.

Holy cow.

It's pretty cold outside.

There's a good half an inch of
ice built up around the boat

everywhere.

I've never been on a boat when
it iced up before,

so that's kind of scary.

Yeah, she's getting heavy
with the ice.

Gotta be really careful how
we haul this.

When it comes time to break
ice, I'll go out there.

Famous last words.

Check in with John.

Damn.
Damn, damn, damn.

Should be right in front of us.

I'm getting pumped up
over here.

Yeah, this is great, man!

You know the flag's always up
over here.

Well, we're on the end
of the string, I think
it's going to be big.

As long as I get
a tank out of it.

- Not a problem, buddy.
- All right, pal.

I will let you know what I see,
stand by.

It's all you can hear is Russia,

and you don't hear no
American radios.

[bleep] yeah.

Oh, damn!

Oh yeah!

Oh, wow, that's a good pot.

Well, that's a full table.

I knew it. I knew it.

Right into our dam.



On the first pot?
Wow!

- That's insane.
- 520.

Okay, well, we''re ready to pull
our first one.

Roger.

Whoo!

America, baby!

We got this.

John is just parallel to us,
so we just got to keep

our tempo here, keep
our heads, and fish.

- Coming up.
- Full pot, baby, full pot.

Drum roll, please.

I see color,
I see color.

There's a lot of big
legs sticking out
the top of that pot.

- Woo-hoo
- Woo-hoo!

No, it's good.

There's a [bleep]
lot of crab going in there.

There's a lot of crab!

Andy, there's a lot of crab
going in the tank!

He can't hear very good,
he's getting old.



Let's go, Johnny,
let's go.

We're going
to put it to them.

- I'm going to
"Putin" it to them.
- "Putin" crab in the tank.

[bleep] damn.

First time handling
an opilio crab.

- Woo!
- 500!

Woo!



Whoo!

What do you think, John,
red, white, and blue?

- I agree.
- We'll dump it back.

Woo!

The bottom line is to get that


to go through the gear one
more time,

but there's no guarantees.

We need to do this fast.

Weather's coming in right now.



on the southern bairdi grounds.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, dear.

- We believe in you!
- Yeah!

Give that [bleep]
give me the [bleep]

- Heck, yeah!
- Yeah!

Yeah, yeah!

This guy.

Oh, my gosh.

I hope they understand that
the cornea is like a little

hard, clear marble

that does not digest.

Get it, boy,
Get it!

Woo, yeah.

yeah! Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Yeah!

- All right!
- Hell yeah, brother!

I did it,
look at that.

- Yeah.
- Atta boy!

Now you're part of the crew,
whoo!

Woo!

Pretty terrible, not
gonna lie.

The texture, it was--

It popped in my
mouth and everything.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Pretty damn gross.

But, I mean, they're doing what
they're told.

And that's what I need from
them right now.

You want that team clicking
and being one unit.

And it's Nico's job to show
these guys how to do it.

All right, I got all
my markings.

Set for a tenth of a mile
in 3, 2, 1.

Let's go, baby!

I came up in the shallows,
spreading my gear out between



There's a lot of potential for
some big numbers.

- We just have to find it.
- Going over.

Let's go, let's go.
Get it over, get it over.

Oh, it feels so good getting
some pots in the water.

All right, let's do
this, guys.

Yeah, baby,
let's go.

Oh [bleep] how bad is it?

Oh, [bleep]

Hey, Rick!

Are you serious?

Hey, Rick!

Are you serious?

Keep pressure.
Keep pressure.

- OK, what do we do, man?
- I don't know.

What's up, bro?

Can you hold this with
that hand?

- Let me pick you up.
- No, no, no.

Let's help you.

Hey, you want to take
that side?

It leans on you.

I got you.

Oh, yeah.

- Oh, my [bleep] whole leg hurts.
- Well, yeah, dude.

Cut himself

- OK, let's get you
turned around.
- Oh,
[bleep]

OK, so this part is going to
be the fun part.

Let's just put that down,
take your pants off.

You can sit down.

- Yeah, yeah.
- One more boot.

Oh.

Well, yeah, dude,
that's-- all right, so,

so when you stabbed yourself,
how far did it go?

- Shot through.
- Oh, yeah.

- You got that bad boy real good.
- [bleep] yeah.

So I'm going to go get
my stuff.

- [bleep]
- And I'll be right back.

Son of a b*tch!

Antibiotics.

Lidocaine, the numit.

It's just getting
everything we need.

It's not going to take
many stitches.

It's a clean cut.

All right.
Time to do some stitches.

Ah [bleep]

Here we go,
let's just do it.

I know.

What the [bleep]

There we go.

Can you slide your leg
over the edge?

There you go.
Don't bend it.

- OK.
- You don't want to rip it.

Exactly.

All right, so why don't
you just slide back, relax.

We got to set these pots off.

Chill.

That was not on the agenda
for tonight.

Deck knife.

Getting a staph infection is
a real possibility on a boat,

and we're gonna have to keep
an eye on it.

- We have to still push.
- Hey!

I have 400,000 pounds
of bairdi to catch.

It could be something that is

life-changing money for all
of us.

I'm gonna be expecting a lot
out of everybody.

Hopefully Nico's pain is not
gonna be too bad tomorrow.


on the Wizard.

Good.

You know, done it before
plenty of times.

You know, I'm ready to go back
up there.

Only way to get over your fear
is by doing it again, so.

No more crowbars,
all right?

- Yeah.
- All right.

- Stay safe out there.
- All right,

thank you.
- OK.

Eight hours after deckhand
Lynn Guitard went overboard

while unchaining the stack,
Keith orders the release of

the same binders before setting


Okay, um, you need to
slow down.

I've got guys on
the stack, Mouse.

It's dark now, and

Well, it's good to get Lynn back
up there.

It's kind of what I thought.

He's probably nervous as hell,
understandably so.

Doesn't go away.

So he doesn't need to go
out port.

OK, I can't stress that.

Careful, careful, careful.

- I can't see [bleep]
- Roger.

Okay.

We're good.

We're good.
We're good.

Watch out.

Got a guy unhooking a chain.

Now, for the rest of our lives,

we've got to be terrified of
this project.

Let's focus on the guys
on the stack.

And when you're ready,
we'll go ahead

and start dumping.

Whoo!

Let's go ahead and get one
over here.

- Delta 21 to first buoy.
- Let's dump it.

- Going over.
- Let's go, baby!

- Woo hoo!
- Woo!



Oh, yeah, there's some pretty
good waves out here.

Here comes one.

Oh.

...on the Russian line.

We're going to have a hell of
a time getting these up.

Standing by.

Oh, hang on.

Oh, OK.
Jeepers-creepers.

I'm getting too old for this
[bleep]

Earlier it was coming more
from the east-northeast,

Now it's kind of switched
around, and it doesn't seem to

want to make up its mind.

Bags could be
anywhere, you know.

Come around on it when we get
it in the block and then have to

OK, Hawkeye,
now I need your eyeballs.

I can't see out that window
because it's all frozen.

If there's a wave coming out,
you got to let me know.

Roger.

Sophia, there's a pot
right there, and I just

went right by it.

Are you kidding me?

Oh, I'm all screwed up here.

Your bag's over here,
you see him?

- Where?
- Over here on the left side.

How far left?
What do you mean left?

- Left.
- 8, 9, 10 o'clock?

- What left?
- 10:37.

I know it's slow.
Sorry, guys.

We're just kind of working on
our communication up here.

I don't know if she's ever
seen weather like this, so

I don't know much about Bob.

Tide's starting to turn now,

so I got to turn more.
- Putting us in the ditch?

Ooh, watch out.

- Ooh, wave, wave, wave.
- Ah, hang on.

Oh, get out of there!

Ooh, watch out.

- Ooh, wave, wave, wave.
- Ah, hang on.

Oh, get out of there.

Gotta let me know right away.

I can't see anything from
the other side.

Anything.

- Roger.
- Okay.

Whoa!

What do we got?
What do we got?

What do we got?

Big money is what we got,
come on, baby!

- Yes.
- Oh, my god.

- That is such a big pot.
- Yes, it is.

- [bleep]
- Awesome.

Is it all clean?

"Big and clean," he says.

John is
just parallel to us,

so hopefully he's
getting the same thing.

That's a big pot there,
that's a big pot.

Wow.

Don't go to Russia.

We got apple pie here.
- Alrighty.

We got drag racing
and rock and roll, baby.

- Woo-hoo!
- 5-5-5, yeah!

Thank you, Hansens,
thank you, Northwestern.

This is awesome.

Thank you, God.

Whoo hoo!

Next one coming up.

That's a big [bleep] pot.

There we go, boom!

Hell, yeah.

- Whoo, baby!
- Hell, yeah.

Whoo!

Yeah.

Now all we got to do is just
keep grinding.

Good start, and it's going to
start making us money.

Whoo!

The weather is finally being
the weather that we expected,

which is east-northeast,


Otherwise, it's going to be
about four hours of
[bleep] hell.

Right now, it's
dicey down there.

The boat's just screaming

to starboard over the top of
these pots.

So it's a one shot deal.

If Lynn doesn't hit that shot,

it's going under the boat
or it's going in the wheel.

After going in the water,

I can't have him regressing
on me.

And for Lynn's sake,
he can't regress either.

You've got to put him
in the saddle.

You've got to put him in
the hot seat.

- Coming at you.
- Nice shot.

Come on, get it.

Get it, get it.

You got it,
pull it up.

- Okay, you got it.
- Right on.

- Good shot, Lynn.
- Oh
[bleep], we mean business now.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

- [bleep]
- Oh, my God.

What'd we get?

About to see twice that amount.

OK, good.
There's the next one.

- Coming at you.
- Let's go, guys.

Get in there.

- We got it again.
- Nice.

- Good job, man.
- Oh, yes!

Whoo!

It's working and living on that
crab right there on that table.

No problem at all.

Go, go, go!



Lynn's a rock star.
He's earned

being-at-Bering-Sea-full-share
crab fisherman many times over.

Brother Lynn.

But at the end of the day,
we are a family,

and we love the [bleep]
out of each other,

and that's the most
important thing.

There's no place like home!

Yow!
