our time's
getting short.
Old man, please bring us
some luck.
Wow! I mean, wow.
Look at him.
He's just hanging out,
Watching over us now.
I feel like that whale know
where the crab are.
See, the old man's helping,
channeling right through.
God, we need it
more than ever right now...
...For everybody here.
You know, I mean,
The fleet's kinda
behind the eight ball here.
I need to get home
for the baby,
So I'm gonna do
whatever it takes
To put us on the crab
right now.
Going over!
That wasn't
part of our deal...
We lost our signal.
Hold on.
whoa,
watch out, watch out!
damn it!
tough road,
but there's no quitting.
The risk is worth
the reward for this.
I'd like to see clark
get home so that he can
see his daughter being born
But, uh...
Reality's really starting
to eat at me here.
284 miles northwe
of dutch harbor,
On the northwestern...
Okay, this could be it.
Hoping for some big numbers.
Roger.
We're 50, 250, 300 fathoms
Behind st. Paul.
I actually have faith in it
I really do.
I just, we need to get
the *bleep* out of here.
still thousands
of pounds away
From catching his entire
bairdi crab quota...
the clock's ticking.
I really feel bad
that we're up here
so late in the game.
I'd really like to see, uh,
clark, uh, be home with mandy
when she has her baby.
...Captain sig hansen banks on 150 pots set near st.
Paul island
To fill his tanks
and clear him
for the trip south,
The birth
of his granddaughter,
baby sailor.
We were hoping
we can introduce...
It was pretty far north.
Yeah, and I'm trying
to finish this and get out
as fast as possible.
no.
Well, so much for that faith.
We're running
into a bunch of opies
And just a bunch
of old bairdi.
These are *bleep* crab.
Not good.
Damn it.
This is not gonna...
No, this isn't working.
steve? It's harley.
Hey.
There you are. How you doing?
I haven't seen anything
in this last string.
I can see you on the radar.
I'm surprised you reached out.
Usually...
yeah, I wish.
I wish I was on crab
and being quiet,
but no, I, uh...
I, too, I'm not doing it, man.
like, come on,
*bleep* damn it.
we'd better, uh,
See if we can't figure out
where this is,
So we can get our a*s home.
what is this crap?
We could work some depths,
if you want.
Why don't we set a grid?
You just go from 50 to 58
or something like that...
Yeah.
Does that work?
Yeah, no, that'd be great.
I'm curious as hell
what's inside 58, so...
Perfect, okay, no, I...
Got it. No, that sounds
like a plan, harley.
All right, good luck, man.
Stay safe.
Roger, roger.
Well, that works.
Just cover that ground
twice as fast.
15 bairdi in that one.
So, is that a high pot?
Roger. That's the best
pot check we've had.
That was an end pot
to the north.
Yep.
Just toss 'em back.
Sounds like he liked
what he saw in a couple
of those pots, but...
You know,
we're looking for more.
That's not enough
for me right now.
We should drop the rest
of these on that shallower
end of the stern.
There was more
sign of life there.
I already made a deal
with steve.
I wanna work with him.
We're gonna do a grid.
All right.
I mean, there's a better sign
of life in the shallow,
But all right, roger.
Not right now.
We gotta find a bigger area.
Okay.
Sig wants to go on some
tangent here with steve
and the southern wind.
But we're out here for ours
right now, you know?
We've already seen the signs
And just to bypass it,
I don't...
I don't think
that's a good idea.
clark's probably
getting antsy.
I don't blame him,
but right now,
We have a partner here
that we can work with,
So we'll see.
We're gonna give this a try.
You gotta keep going,
And that's
what we're gonna do.
93 miles south..
oh, *bleep* this.
I didn't come here
to catch bait.
well,
that's depressing.
Straining water.
on
the cornelia marie...
We'll leave it in the rack.
roger!
All right, where do you
wanna take these, josh?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Our time's getting short.
Got a delivery date coming u
We were hoping for some
sort of a sign or shock.
It's not happening right now.
on the hook
for 20,000 more pounds,
Captains josh harris
and casey mcmanus
Scour the eastern grounds
for sign of life
Two days ahead
of their final offload.
old man, please,
bring us some luck.
come on, give me a *bleep*.
Are you kidding me?
This is a *bleep* show
right here.
Since we're not
catching crabs,
We're gonna try
something different.
We need our luck to change.
I don't know.
I'm trying to figure it out
We need to make a bigger mov
then yeah,
maybe just zig-zag
up to shower it.
It's just finding,
locating where maybe
a school's gonna be.
Wow! I mean, wow.
There's a big-a*s k*ller wha
right there.
it's the biggest on
I ever seen.
oh, *bleep*!
holy *bleep*.
Wow.
He's like, "all right,
I'll do a trick for you guys.
Check this one out!"
oh!
damn! Dude, he's havi
the time of his life.
Look at him.
He's just hanging out,
Watching over us now.
whoa, there he is.
Never seen a k*ller whale
Come right up to the boat
like that.
That was pretty cool.
wow, beautiful.
I feel like that whale knows
where the crab are.
It seems like a good spot.
Well, let's take a peek at it.
Won't know till we try.
Roger.
See, the old man's helping,
channeling right through.
First pot's going over.
Well, wish us luck.
- coming over!
- We need it.
I've never seen an orca
that close before,
So that was really cool.
I hope it brings us luck.
We'll see what happens.
Shane, he's doing great, man.
He really is doing good.
I think my dad would be
pretty proud he's here.
So, hats off to him for that.
over!
Coming around.
I don't know
if the risk is worth
the reward for this.
But I got full faith.
261 miles southwe
on the patricia lee...
This is...
I mean, seriously,
look at this!
This is why
the crab like it here,
Lot of action in the current
lot of action in the water.
with two tanks
to fill and 20 hours
into a nonstop grind...
move rockets.
Got some spreads
on the lower bow...
That'll always make
for an interesting set.
I wanna g
this trip done.
There's some
really good fishing
On both sides of us up here.
Yeah, this is good.
captain rip carlt
charges into 15-foot seas
To take advantage
of the nutrient-rich,
life-sustaining currents.
I can't think
that well.
I'm tired. I can barely
*bleep* stay awake.
Long day, not quite 24 hours
It'll be 24 hours
in a couple hours.
They're dragging right now.
I can already see it.
Being tired, you just
kinda get used to it.
It sucks.
If I had a choice, obviously,
I would probably take
a nap, but like...
There's no time to, like,
even think about it.
You just...
Pot after pot after pot,
you just gotta keeping going.
They're basically
on deck all day.
They were hauling,
setting, or welding pots
all day.
Next pot.
Nice work, boys. Nice work.
in and away!
Next time we see that one,
it'll be full of money.
somebody's gonna
take a watch for me.
- Thanks, cam.
- what's up?
You got it, buddy.
I don't know.
Hold on.
What was that?
Do you remember
where our buoy's set up?
*bleep* yeah, I've got him.
we got buoys.
we got buoys
on the stern?
damn it.
We got buoys on the stern?
roger.
*bleep*
Get that buoy in the crane,
rip it around the side,
- Pull it up that side, see if we can get it.
- -okay.
there's so much curren
Buoy line drifted
over this way.
There is no good way
out of this one.
- you got the li in your hand, don't you?
- -yeah.
damn it.
I just can't even believe this is happening right now.
Serious business when you get
that *bleep* in the wheel.
*bleep*
We have buoys and line
in the wheel.
There's no doubt about it.
What wheel,
and to what extent,
we don't know.
If we guess wrong,
we're in deep *bleep*,
And I mean that seriously.
fearing the tangl
could seize his main engine.
I'm weighing my options
in my brain right now.
...Captain
rip carlton drifts,
dead-stick,
11 miles from the rocky
aleutian coast,
In a building sea.
I'm gonna frickin' torch it
right now.
*bleep*
Seriously, we're in deep
*bleep* right now,
'cause that didn't work.
I don't
hear nothing.
Come on. Come on.
Don't die.
- good?
- yep.
*bleep* damn it,
we almost k*lled
that poor engine.
- yeah, buddy!
- let's roll!
There goes one.
You guys see
any buoys out there?
-See any buoys?
-We got one
that came off so far.
- streak the whole wave.
- -there it goes.
Did you see it?
Is it still, I mean...
Any hardballs?
Yeah, it's clear.
We did not need this.
It was *bleep* ruined.
-Half a string, $50,000...
-Yeah.
It's my fault. I didn't set
the right course.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault.
There's never *bleep*
anything easy out here.
Can't even *bleep* send
the buoys over the side
Without something going wrong.
262 miles northeast,
on the time bandit...
- whoo!
- yeah!
Let's go home.
yeah!
We made money *bleep*!
I've never worked
so hard on a season,
Stressed so much.
I mean, this is
a make or break.
We had to do this.
Didn't have no king crab.
we got 20 hours
to hack and offload.
filled to the bri
with golden kings...
All right, man.
I'm going to bed.
...Captain
johnathan hillstrand
turns toward town,
Eager to deliver
his final $140,000
worth of crab.
"antenna unit,
connection lost."
That's what it says on this.
creating a critic
navigational failure,
John's seventh crewman,
first name, auto,
last name, pilot,
Fails to show up for work.
you gotta turn
that off and turn it back on.
First, on and off switch.
Yep.
Here we go.
130 degrees, it's back on.
We're back.
Back check.
Remember I said...
- Remember, I said you're...
- doubles is good!
oh, there
it goes again.
There it goes.
Oh, just lost signal.
No, you're still...
Oh, no.
the antenna
needs to be checked.
- wait till daylight...
- -I'm tracing it down.
That's the first thing, jesse.
Okay.
forcing
the crew to navigate
the old-fashioned way
And keep their eyes
on the skies...
see,
right over there.
Venus right out the window.
-Yeah, I see it.
-See that opening
in the clouds?
-You got it made.
-All right.
My first season
of crab fishing's
been a little wild.
You got a greenhorn
driving the boat
In the middle of the dark
without autopilot, you know
Piece of cake.
80 miles northwes
on the northwestern...
Okay, guys, these pots
are gonna go in a grid.
We're on the inside.
Harley's in the shallow, okay?
Clark, you wanna come up?
Yep!
I'd like to see
clark get home
So that he can see
his daughter being born.
But, uh...
Reality's really starting
to eat at me here.
Let's hope this works.
yep?
Take it, 'cause I'm gonna
take a break.
Roger.
All right, let's start
dropping them.
going over!
Let's do this.
we're supposed
to stay at 58 fathoms,
But we were getting,
like, the best-looking crab
You know,
a little bit shallower.
All right, guys, we got
a little change of plans.
roger.
get on course...
It's still going...
With the weather,
nobody's even gonna notice.
on
the southern wind...
wait a minute.
What the hell?
I thought we had a plan.
What is he doing?
Well, it works as well
as the two participants
in the plan.
Yo, yo.
I see you up there, bud.
What's going on?
I mean, working with steve,
I don't know if that's
the best idea.
throw it over.
I need to get home
for mandy, for the baby.
We don't have the time
to be searching
around anymore.
hey, anybo
up at northwestern,
you got me?
I'm just gonna have to tell
harley about it later.
Well, let's see what
you're doing, buddy.
Wasn't part of our deal.
Hey, northwestern, uh,
it's southern wind.
You got me here, sig?
on the southern wind...
what's he doing
way the hell over there?
Yo, yo. Let's free up there,
bud, what's going on?
Mandy's at home, pregnant,
I need to get home
as fast as I can.
So I'm gonna do whatever
it takes to put us on the crab
right now.
We're gonna take our piece
of the pie first.
Yeah, buddy.
You got me on northwestern,
you got me, sig?
Oh, no.
Turn the volume down
and catch crab,
I know his plan.
Trying to work out a field
with your partner,
I'll stay in my depths,
you stay in your depths,
let's go up the bank,
And now I see you way over
in freaking timbuktu, man.
What's happening in timbuktu?
And now you're
not talking, so.
You know when sig...
When he don't talk,
that's when he's onto me.
Every time, I've known that
throughout the years.
Son of a b*tch,
I'm just gonna go over there
and set some pots, too.
Two of us can play that game.
Hey, guys, just hang on
just one minute.
Good for him, what's gonna
be good for me. Let's go look.
60 miles southeast...
hell, man. Let's see
what you got, bro.
on the cornelia marie...
- is that the orca?
- yeah.
hey, buddy.
There's my little buddy.
Ha, doing the tail slap.
Letting us know that
he's over here.
captain josh
gambles their baridi season
And puts it all on black
and white.
I got the first one
in sights here.
So, pray to god that
we get something
So we can make somewhat
of a paycheck.
let's go, baby! Whoo!
we need this more tha
anything to just get us out
Out of town.
Finish this thing up, man.
pull it up! Pull it up!
whoo! Come on.
And survey says...
whoo!
Oh, yeah!
Yeah! We're in them, dodge.
Boy, we're in them thicker
and well *bleep* now,
aren't we?
All right.
Holy *bleep*,
he's still there.
Oh, he gave you
a little toot-toot.
- toot-toot.
- Yeah.
yup.
Second pot coming up.
Got 37 on that last one.
- oh, my god.
- oh, *bleep*.
- oh h* h*!
- that's impressive.
yeah! Good one, dude
Ooh-wee!
wow.
Beastly.
That's a pot there, boys.
-Whoo! Oh-h*.
-Yeah!
Night and day, versus
what we worked the other day,
oh, my gosh.
Good crab. Getting a lot.
Great to have shane on here,
always good
to have him around,
Seeing what I'm going through
in life.
Everybody always wants
to be a crab fisherman.
They get here,
where my brother is showing
that he can do it.
So he's humble and hungry.
He's a good guy.
- yeah!
- wow.
whoa, *bleep*!
This holds up, this will
be one of our best strings
of the trip.
That's a k*ller fish.
112 miles southeast...
This is captain's log's,
still hamstring...
all right.
Same damn alarm for 10 hours.
- you got it?
- hold on, lift it up.
coming down.
okay.
Hopefully it's not
a bad antenna.
Could be a faulty antenna
for some stupid reason.
this is where the wire
actually goes into the device
On the back here,
That side I got this.
Then do a little spin.
Oh, look at all the water
that just came out.
Got a bunch of water
inside here.
What's that?
What's that, carter?
I guarantee
that's the problem.
it's full of water.
let's go to town,
let's fix it there.
Uh, in 11 hours,
we gotta deliver.
Out of town or half-steering.
11's coming up,
we'll see if they're
coming up.
It's blowing me off *bleep*
course big time right now.
on the time bandit...
I had a star I was following.
My star's disappeared,
so I can't see *bleep*.
Running out of time.
And I could be in a lot
of trouble.
on the time bandit...
just trying
to make it float.
It's not been easy.
I had a star I was following.
My star's disappeared,
so I can't see *bleep*.
You got currents,
you got wind,
Everything's trying to stop me
from getting in this big.
I could follow
that light right there.
That's easy enough.
Following the star,
like the wise men
followed the star,
And then little boats,
baby jesus.
Let's see what this says.
The saga. Are you kidding?
That's jake anderson.
That's baby jesus?
Hey, anderson. Wanna try 18?
Are you out here?
I gotta go watch...
What are you
doing, man?
that's me!
I'm flashing you my light
right now.
You're baby jesus
in the stable.
Our baby jesus.
Thanks, jake. Yeah, I've been
trying for four hours now.
Okay, I'll be up here.
That's a good kid, anderson.
Never thought the saga
would be my guiding light.
I wouldn't have it
any other way.
Oh, my lord.
235 miles southwest...
really hope
we can find these.
after losing near
$50,000 in crab and gear...
I'm tired, I'm stressed.
Just hope we get...
I think we need 50's.
...Captain rip
looks to the remainder
of his pots
To salvage the final trip
of his season.
Come on, one more time,
Give me a crab.
- whoo! Come on.
- bring it home.
- come on, crab!
- -this is it, this is it.
Oh, *bleep*.
Excellent.
Whoo!
Whoa, mama.
It's freakin' full!
That pot is freakin' full.
Whoo!
Yeah!
Ha, come on! Whoo! Whoo!
Whoo, all right!
70! yeah!
his pot's
overflowing with golden king
That's probably 4,000
pounds already.
rip counts down
to the end
Of his 1.5 million
pound quota.
yeah!
Dude, they're full.
yes!
- holy smokes.
- Yeah.
It's what we needed.
get her done
and get the hell out of here
Whoo!
Crab.
big boys.
You gotta hand it to rip,
he's probably the best
fisherman out there.
Best guy that I've seen.
whoo!
That's it, we are *bleep*
outta here, we did it.
come on, bring it in.
what a frickin' season
That's a pen toss.
Done and done.
250 miles northeast...
whoo!
- let's go, dude.
- yeah!
- Hoo-wee! Yeah!
- hell yeah.
Yeah.
...On the cornelia marie.
That's what we're
looking for, boys.
A full table.
We've got three pots to go.
I hope it keeps up.
Never underestimate a harris,
They always seem to find
them spots, so.
Hell yeah. Good job, bro.
This string's really
paying off.
We're just about at our mark
Was a big bust, pretty much
for red crab.
Good enough opportunity
to push the paradigm,
We're able to capitalize
on that.
We've done pretty good.
Get this stuff signed,
sealed, delivered.
Turns out we do know
what we're doing.
59 miles northwest...
...On the northwestern.
We got, uh, a mile
till clark's here.
we're working
with harley
on the southern wind,
With any luck, one of us
will hit something.
Hang on a second.
Is that us?
That's not us.
And that's another one.
I got pots all over me.
*bleep*.
Who is that?
That's harley's gear.
How come I don't see that guy?
He's not sticking to what
we decided on.
oh, boy,
oh, boy, oh, boy.
But I gotta call him out
on this thing.
Something's up.
*bleep*.
you got me?
Yeah, I got ya.
And I don't understand
what's going on.
I've been trying to get
ahold of you guys,
So, yeah, I went and set
some pots over there.
Well, I haven't been
over there.
I haven't been east of what
I told you.
No, bs, man.
Hang on a second.
Something's not adding up.
Hang on.
Yeah, it's not adding up.
Clark was setting gear.
He was running the bolt
the other night,
that's what's going on.
Oh, you're gonna blame it
on the mate, huh?
huh, well,
Okay, I'm out, I'll go do
some checking here.
All right.
Clark, you wanna come up here?
So, I just had some
communication with harley,
And I got my ear chewed out.
You wouldn't know anything
about that, would ya?
I was just trying to,
you know, fish how you would.
You know, you see a sign,
you got an instinct,
you just go for it.
I get that
and I appreciate that,
But there's only one guy
on the boat that's the boss.
-That's me.
-All right.
Bottom line is,
you better hope there's some
crabs in those pots, so.
Might as well get on deck,
we'll see what happens here
all right, roger.
I think it's time
to teach clark
a little lesson.
If he's gonna make
my life harder...
...I'm gonna make
his life harder.
Lauritz, I think it's time
for you to take
a little break.
You've been working hard.
Why don't you go in and mak
some popcorn?
And clark, my dearest
son-in-law.
You can show them
how it's done, how about that?
You want me to do everything?
it's all you, buddy.
All right, let's start
hauling them.
here you go, captain.
Ah, our popcorn.
And let the show begin.
yeah, buddy.
Crab fishing isn't that hard
after all.
Come on, clark, you got it.
we'll see if there's
anything in it.
on the cornelia marie...
here he comes.
Hello, hello.
Just getting the security
backed by a giant orca.
It's day number 3 now
and the same orca
Following us around.
Well, the name for this guy...
Pretty persistent.
really?
that's a big animal.
they're apex predator
Made an apex predator
best friend.
Pretty neat.
josh, casey,
You guys ever say anything
nice about each other?
On the northwestern...
Clark, it's all you, buddy.
yeah, buddy.
Come on, clark. You got it.
we'll see if there's
anything in it.
oh, no.
Not a lot of crab in there.
It'll get better,
that's only one.
I don't know.
Hey, clark. Don't move
your knees.
This is gonna get
tiring real quick.
it's coming.
Waiting on you,
whenever you're ready.
Let's see what's
in the second one.
- good pot.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah!
That's crab. There's life.
We can do that.
that's gonna work.
oh, yeah.
Tastes like victory, baby.
Well done, clark.
whoo!
Yeah, buddy!
- yeah, buddy!
- Yeah!
Hello, you got me?
Yeah, I got you.
What's up, sig?
Well,
Okay.
All right, thanks, bud.
Good luck, man, stay safe.
Roger, roger. I'm out.
whoo!
Oh, yeah.
That's a lot of crab.
That's what we want
and I'm real proud of him.
I gotta say.
Just don't tell him that,
but it's true.
That's it. 25,000 pounds.
The deal with sean is done,
And I get to keep my boat.
Hey, I did it, man.
I got all the quota.
Aw, thank you so much
for your support.
I'll give you a shout.
Okay, bye-bye.
Oh. That's it.
We made big risks,
But both sean and I ended up
coming out on top.
oh-h*-h*.
That's it, dude.
And that's all she wrote.
Stack down, come back,
we'll get her in whole piece
there we go.
I'll tell sig
it's working out fine.
Which way, I think
I'm about wrapped up.
yeah, buddy.
Yeah, buddy.
Whoo!
Clark.
- How about that?
- whoo!
Y'all, I have a baby.
Shane, this is a cornelia
marie tradition, you know,
after your crab season,
You gotta jump in the tank.
- are you kidding me

- *bleep*
-it's your turn.
So I see you guys
have some weird traditions.
all right.
there's no
sketchy *bleep*.

*bleep* off.
*bleep* damn, dude.
means you're free
to get all *bleep*.

- -yeah.
I might get hurt.

- whoo. Oh, god.
I just wanna let you know,
I've actually never
done that before.
*bleep* you.
- come here.
- -throw him in, throw him in.
We haven't had a season
like this in a long time,
Where we didn't have
a red crab season.
You know, we're used
to making a lot more money
this time of year.
There's a way they used
to do it back in the old days.
The pirates, the boat got
two shares,
The captain got two shares,
all the pirates split it.
Me and you talked about this,
you're good with that, right?
Yup. Everybody worked hard,
everybody gets a full share.
-Yeah.
-Just like pirates,
divide it by eight.
I love you guys, thank you.
Thank you.
thank you, captain.
time bandits,
that's it!
Let's see it.
- time bandits, let's go!
- oh, yes!
aw.
aw, there she is.
- hey, pretty girl. Hi.
- I have to see
her awake.
This is another part
of our legacy.
There was a lot of sacrifice
made this year.
Reality is, uh, it won't
be too much longer before
We are back out at sea again.
And, uh, you know,
it's moments like this
It does make it harder to go
back up there and go fishing,
But, uh, you know.
That's all we do,
that's all we know
how to do,
And that's the way it is.
What's more painful,
crab fishing or having a baby?
crab fishing.
that's it.
crab fishing?
