20x16 - My Brother's Keeper

Post by bunniefuu »

[Monte] I'm not arguing
with you right now.

-[Keith] Don't [bleep], Mouse!
You [bleep]!
-[Monte] And guess what?

You know what,
I'm not talking to you
right now.

[Keith] [bleep] you, Mouse.

[Keith grunts]

[thudding]

-[Keith grunts]
-Are you all right?

Bro.

Are you all right?

Hey, bro.

Are you okay?

Talk to me, bro.

Are you okay?

[Monte on speaker]

Quickly, up. Come on in.
Take your [bleep] off
real quick.

[groaning]

[Keith speaking]

[Monte]
Okay, just stand by.
Cody's coming up.

We're gonna help you
get down there
so you don't--

[Keith speaking]

You sure?

[Keith speaking]

-[Monte speaking]
-[Keith speaking]

[exhales deeply]

[Monte speaking]

[Monte] How are we doing?

[exhales deeply]

[Monte]
Okay, 60... I'm looking
for the pills here.

[Gary over radio]

-[Monte] Can you
write that down for me?
-Yeah.

Monte,
it's kind of important.

[Monte] Be right there.
Be right there.

What's up?

[Monte speaking]

[Monte] You what?

[Monte] You're kidding.

[Monte] Do you want
one of these?

I'm... [groans softly]

I'm scared as the devil.

[Monte speaking]

Okay.

I think you put it
under your tongue.

How was that?

[Keith] Kind of
helps a little bit.

[Gary] It's to do something
over there with Keith.

[Monte speaking]

I'm not sure
what we're doing.

We've got some sort
of a medical thing
going right now.

[Monte on speaker]

The left side
of his [bleep] arm
[bleep] went numb on him.

-[Monte speaking]
-[Gary] Yeah.

[Monte]
His arm was going numb,
so he took some aspirin,

and he actually took
a nitroglycerin tablet
out of the med kit.

You look in that med kit,
in the book,

if you look
under heart attack,

that's what
it tells you to use.

Uh, pretty [bleep] scary,
you know.

We're in the middle
of the ocean.

[Tyler] Keith had
some sort of episode,

which is pretty concerning.

How you doing over there?

I'm going to bed, Mouse.

[Monte] Okay. That's good.

[Keith speaking]

[Monte] All right.

[Monte speaking]

[Brianna speaking]

Hello. You got a minute?

-[Brianna speaking]
-Okay.

So my brother just...

Uh...

He was sitting at the table
on the port side
of the wheelhouse,

and he was
yelling and screaming,
and he got up,

and all of a sudden,
he just went down.

We're not sure why.

He said
he was having problems.

The left side of his body
was tingling.

[Brianna speaking]

We gave him some aspirin,

and we gave him
a nitroglycerin tablet,
and he says he's fine.

But he's not...

[Keith] Lord, just... [bleep]

[coughs]

[Brianna speaking]

I-- Just bear with me.

I'm just
really having a hard time
with making this decision.

-So it's 65 miles
to Saint Paul.
-[Brianna] Okay.

I just... [stammering]

I think
the prudent thing to do

is to head to the island.

Can you get ahold
of the clinic?

[Brianna speaking]

Uh, [stammers]
I'm, right now,

about 60 miles.

So, you know, it's...

I can be dockside
in seven or eight hours
at the very most.

[Brianna speaking]

Okay. I'll call you back
in just a couple of minutes.

-[Brianna] Okay.
Sounds great. Okay. Bye.
-Bye.

Is a no-brainer.

Right?

[Monte] That's, kind of,
what I'm thinking
might have been the case.

'Cause he got up too quick,
all worked up.

And he had his little episode,
and he went down.

And then he got up,

and his left side
was numb.

I mean, this is classic
[bleep] some sort of episode.

Heart attack, stroke,
[bleep], right?

I mean, is that--

I mean, I think anybody

with even the least
amount of knowledge
of such things

-would have to make
that assessment, right?
-[producer] Yeah.

-[Monte] Hey, bro.
-[Keith speaking]

-[Monte] How you doing?
-[Keith speaking]

[Monte] Okay.
Well, I'm just really
[bleep] concerned here.

[Keith speaking]

Uh...

Um...

Um...

[Monte] I mean,
we don't want to take

a [bleep] chance
with this out here.

[Keith] I'm...
Give me a grip.

I'm gonna squeeze,
all right?

-I'm good, right?
-[Monte] Is that all you got?

[Keith]
That's everything I got.

[Monte]
I would have to say no.
Let me see the other hand.

Yeah. See that?
Let me see this again.

That's it?

Okay. We're not gonna
stay out here

with you having
some sort of episode.

Whatever it was, okay?

Lay on your side.

Get some sleep, dude.

[Keith speaking]

Settle down.
Don't even think
about that [bleep].

[Monte speaking]

[officer on radio]

That's the Wizard.

That's the Wizard talking
to, uh, Coast Guard on 16.

[Monte on radio]

[man on radio]

[Monte speaking]

[men whooping]

[officer on radio]

[Monte on radio]

...5-6 degrees...

Hold on.
Let me turn it up here.

[Monte on radio]

[Monte] 1-6-9 degrees.



[officer on radio]

[Monte speaking]

Oh, my God,
that's a stroke.

[officer on radio]

Okay.

-[officer on radio]
-[Monte] Bye.

[Sig] I feel for Monte
right now, you know.

I understand what it's like

to have a family boat.

You know, his brother
might be having
a heart attack right now.

So he's probably
really freaking out.

Hopefully,
they can keep it together.

And whatever we can do,
we will.

But I imagine things are
chaos for them right now.

[cell phone vibrating]

[Monte] Hello.

[Brianna speaking]

So are you saying that
by getting a desired response

from the nitroglycerine
is actually not a good sign?

[Brianna speaking]

-Okay.
-[Brianna speaking]

Do you think
we need to go to that level?

[Brianna speaking]

Um, like...

Yeah. [stuttering]

I think I need
to talk to them myself.

[Brianna speaking]

-[Monte] Okay.
Thank you. Bye.
-[Brianna] Bye.

[Monte]
It kind of [bleep] sucks.

The weather is not conducive
for going into this harbor.

It's going to change
about midnight.

But this is just enough wind
coming in from the southwest.

-It's, like,
the absolute wrong direction.
-[cell phone vibrates]

Hello.

[Brianna speaking]

[Dr. Miller speaking]

-[Tyler] Oh, [bleep].
-We don't have a heart rate.

-[Tyler speaking]
-[Monte] I'm sure it's gotta
be elevated

-because he's still
really stressed out.
-[Tyler speaking]

[Monte] With the back...

With being the boss
and everything else.

-[Cody speaking]
-[Keith speaking]

What the [bleep]
happened to him?

[Monte speaking]

[Monte speaking]

[Cody speaking]

What the [bleep]
happened to him?

[Monte speaking]

[Monte speaking]

[Dr. Miller speaking]

[Monte] Were you
having any chest pains
before you fell?

No. I...

I fell.

No.

[Monte] Okay, no chest pains.

[Dr. Miller speaking]

Okay, well,
that's not exactly
what I want to hear.

[Keith speaking]

[Monte] I know you do.
But having talked
to these doctors,

he's thinking you've had
some sort of a mini stroke.

[Tyler] We're all
kind of worried right now.

We've got to get him
either medevaced out of here

or we've got
to get to Saint Paul and...

deal with it before he dies
in the Bering Sea,

which is, uh,
not what we want to happen.

So, we're trying
to get him to safety,

get him back to land okay.

[man speaking]

It's hard for him
to accept it,

but he needs
to get off the boat
and handle this [bleep].

[Monte] Now, is he
a medevac caliber candidate?

[Dr. Miller speaking]

Um, and, you know...

[Monte] I'll let you go.
Thank you.

Don't make me
turn this boat around
and go hawk it, right?

Because I'm about ready
to do it right now.

[Monte] You can't.

I sure would like it
if you were laying down.

[Cody speaking]

No, he doesn't.

[Cody]
You know, none of us
are doctors out here.

None of us are trained
medical professionals.

So when something happens
that you've never seen before,

never, never experienced,

nobody really knows
what to do.

So...

It was hard to see,
it was hard to look at him,

to be honest.

He's hanging on by a thread.

Should have just
kept fishing, Mouse.

We could be over
on the east side right now.

[Monte] No, we're not
taking that chance.

I'm sorry.

I can't do it.
I'll never forgive myself.

[man speaking]

[sighs]

You what?

[Monte] On the floor?

Well, kind of
on the toilet.

[Monte] Do you have another
little numbness thing
or anything?

I don't know.

Yeah. See,
you got to go.

We've got to get you
[bleep] off of here.

Bro, we gotta
get you off the boat.

I can't not
call the Coast Guard

and let them know
what we're doing.

I love you, man. We can't
take any chances with this.

We have to make
the right decisions here.

Just roll.

You've had some sort
of a [bleep] episode.

What part of that
do you not understand?

I don't wanna...

[Monte]
Randy, can you just stop?

Can you [bleep] stop?
I mean, come on.

Can you cut us
some slack here?

This isn't helping.

It's not helping, Randy.
Put the [bleep] thing down.

Just for... Okay?

[Keith speaking]

[bleep]

[Monte speaking on radio]

[officer on radio]

[Monte on radio]
Just wanted to, kind of,
keep you abreast of things.

I've actually talked
at length with the doctor,

and he seems to think
he's had some sort
of a mini stroke.

Oh, my God.

[officer] Uh...

[Monte] Nothing more than,
like, basic first-aid.

-[officer speaks]
-They need to get him
off that damn boat.

Um, Phil,
same thing, you know.

They got him
into the island.

[woman] Phil, breathe.

I think the old man
might have just had a stroke.

[woman]
Do you feel this, Phil?

[Phil breathing hoarsely]

And that's all
they can do right now.

You can't... There's nothing
they can do at sea.

You're in the middle
of nowhere.

[officer on radio]

[Monte speaking on radio]

[officer speaking]

Sounds like
they're heading to Saint Paul,
which is the closest airstrip.

But that's not
a guarantee either,

whether it's Dutch
or Saint Paul.

You know,
we've had snow flurries,

and you've got to get
a plane on the ground, too.

So he's not out
of the woods yet
by any means.

The southwest wind,
the westerly wind

is never safe
to get into Saint Paul.

The wave heights
are so big to make a turn...

-[man 1] Get down!
-[man 2] Oh, my God!

[bleep]

...to get into
the actual harbor.

-[man 1] Go, go, go, go!
-[man 2] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Look out, look out!

Come on. Turn, b*tch.

It's very dangerous,
and you could end up
on the rocks.

Getting into Saint Paul...

is no joke.

[officer on radio]

[Monte] I am. Good afternoon.

[officer speaking]

Okay, thank you.

[Cody] Cap?

You all right?

[Keith speaking]

[Cody] Yeah.

[Keith speaking]

[Cody] You're doing okay
besides being cold?

[Monte] He was down
in his stateroom and he...

He's going to use the head
and he...

had some sort of other spill,
so I don't know.
That's concerning.

And now he just came out,
he told me...
Stand by one second. Break.

Go ahead, Cody.

Yeah, he said
he's really cold.

He has all of his covers
over his body.

So now here just in the last
matter of moments, actually
since we've been on this call,

is now he's
experiencing chills,

which the doctor
had thought that wasn't...

He didn't know
about the chills,
they just started.

But he did mention that
may be not be good.

[Dr. Nolan speaking]

Well, I couldn't tell you.

I'd have to go down
and see him if you
want to give me a minute.

-[Dr. Nolan speaking]
-Okay, stand by.

How are you feeling now?

Bro, are you cold?

[Keith speaking]

[Monte] Okay.
Well, that's not good.

[Keith speaking]

[Monte] Being really cold
is not good.

The doctor said
clammy is not good.

Cold... Chills is not good.

Hey, Tyler,
can you come down, please?

Okay, we gotta take
your blood pressure, bro.

Unfortunately, we're gonna be
bugging you on a regular basis
with this.

Deep breaths.

I would like to see you
sleeping on your side, okay?

[Keith speaking]

-[Monte] Okay.
-[Keith] See this?
See this left arm?

[Keith grunts, groans]

[pants]

[Keith] I ain't
the other [bleep].

[Monte] That's right.
Let's just not even think
about the other [bleep].

Let's think about--

[Keith] Well, I do
'cause I gotta worry about,
"Oh, he's all [bleep]--"

[Monte] Okay,
here goes your [bleep]
blood pressure again.

Go to your happy place.

Think about
a Grateful Dead show
or some [bleep] chick

or something pleasant, okay?

[Keith speaking]

[Monte] I know you don't.
Nobody does, bro.

Settle down.
Just try to relax.

-[Monte] So that's it.
-[Tyler speaking]

[Monte speaking]

Okay, so just leave
that device in here,
turn it off,

and I'll be back down
to do this in a little bit,
bro. Settle down.

Come on out.

Yes, hello, I'm back.

[officer speaking]

Okay, so he's got the chills.
His skin color looks
pretty normal to me.

He's not, like,
clammy or anything.

[officer speaking]

Okay. So now let me just
give you his blood pressure.



[Dr. Nolan speaking]

[Monte] Yep.

Okay, we'll be here
if you've got any questions.

[Dr. Nolan speaking]

Bye-bye.

Exactly.

So I don't know
if we're gonna have to...

get here
and take a look at it,

maybe possibly
wait a couple hours.
I don't know.

Obviously gotta
get in the harbor,

but when you can't go in there
because it's gonna be
catastrophic...

[line ringing]

[Monte] All right,
we're gonna call Sig.

He's got some
firsthand knowledge

of really spooky
medical things out here
with his heart.

[Sig speaking]

Working on a plane to come out
and pick him up at Saint Paul.

You know, even my own brother,
he had a mild heart attack,

and he didn't even know
until he went in
for a doctor's checkup

and they looked him over.

You know what I mean?

You said you're close?

[Monte speaking]

Sea Lion Rock
at the entrance here.

God, we've gotta be careful.
You know all about that.

[Sig speaking]

All right. Thanks again
and good luck to ya.

You know,
you can see the island here,
obviously the brown shape.

And then as we zoom in,
this is us.

So we're coming in this way.

Now this is
the actual approach.

But the problem
with the harbor

is you have to come in
and make this turn.

When you get this swell
coming this direction,

it makes the boat
extremely difficult to steer,
and this is very narrow.

[Roger] It's eerie
being out here

and having an emergency
like this.

And to see
our captain/boat dad,
whatever you want to call him,

take a tumble
and get some numbness
in his arm,

that's not good.

We gotta take him
into Saint Paul.
It's the right call to do.

We gotta get him
checked out.

What happens
if he [bleep] dies?

Saint Paul harbormaster,
the EMS.

[harbormaster speaking]

You know,
pretty bouncy out here.

I'm not sure
what you're seeing in there,

but we're gonna
let this weather hopefully
diminish a little bit.

Just wanted to keep you
abreast of that.

[harbormaster speaking]

[Monte] I've been
in and out of this harbor

probably a couple
hundred times.

They need
to see him right away,

which I get it. I want him
to be seen right away.

I'm just... You know, I'm not
real comfortable
pulling in there just yet.

You know,
you time this wrong,

get pushed on the beach...

[sailors yelling]

I need to be careful
of what I do
with my vessel here.

[sighs in exasperation]
Just sitting here
is a bit maddening, too.

We're not sure
what is happening
with my brother,

but it's not good.

We gotta get him
off of here
as soon as we can.

[Tyler speaking]

-[Keith] Okay.
-[Tyler] I'm gonna
leave this right here.

[bleep]

[nurse speaking]

[Monte] Yes, good evening.
This is Monte on the Wizard.

[nurse speaking]

Okay, so I'm out front,

it's kind of bouncy
out here now.

I just got an update

supposedly that the aircraft
isn't due in here
for three hours.

Is that what
you're hearing?

[nurse speaking]

Okay, I appreciate that
and we're going to take
advantage of this time.

As much as I would like to get
my brother into your hands,

we are going to wait a couple,
two and a half hours
before we enter the harbor.

[nurse speaking]

No, I couldn't
agree with you more,
you know, but I need to...

I've been in and out
of this harbor probably
a couple hundred times,

and I need to know
that I'm gonna be able
to safely enter your harbor.

And quite frankly,
right now, it's not--

[nurse speaking]

As am I,
so thank you for that.

And we will plan
on entering the harbor.

Gonna to have to try
to figure out how to get
in there

here in a little bit,
apparently, so thank you.
I'll call you back.

[sighs wearily]

Saint Paul Harbor, Wizard.

[harbormaster speaking]

Yeah, we're nosing in here
closer yet.

There's a real good chance
I'm gonna be pulling
into the dock.

[harbormaster speaking]

Yeah, I'll keep you posted.

[sighs in exasperation]

The weather's
not supposed to improve here

for probably
at least another 36 hours.

The clinic is really adamant
about us entering the harbor.

Well, that's why
we came here, you know?

We delay getting him
off the boat,

that seems kind of like
spinning our wheels.

Okay, let's get ready.

-Is there somebody
over there?
-[Roger] Yeah.

Who's over there?

[Gary speaking]

we're gonna get Keith
to the clinic.

And see if they get him
medevaced up in Anchorage.

Saint Paul Harbor, Wizard,
Channel 1-6.

[harbormaster speaking]

[Monte speaking]

[harbormaster speaking]

Sounds like he's making
the approach right now,
so they're going for it.

Westerly in Saint Paul?
It's death-defying.

He's gonna push it
to get Keith to shore.
That's what I would do.

And I know that's what
he's doing right now.

[deckhand] Oh, my God!

Saint Paul has always
been notorious for this swell
when it's blowing west.

And it's blowing west now.

Okay, I hope we're ready
because we're going in.

Let's just [bleep] do this.

That was
a little rough there.

-I'm just nervous
of that breakwater.
-[Roger] Yeah.

We're at the five-fathom
[bleep] line here.

This is where it gets...

The five-fathom curve
that the swell comes
and hits that,

and then even more so
right when you're trying
to enter this [bleep] thing.

That right there
is [bleep] bad news.

[bleep]

You know, we've had
this boat get sideways
at that turn before.

You know, you just see
the rocks right in front
of you.

It's all about the timing.

Okay, here comes
a [bleep] wave.

[over radio]
Hang on. Hang on.

[Tyler speaking]

[Monte] Heads up.
Head up. Big wave.

[Gary] Watch out!

[exclaims]

[Tyler] I've known Keith
my whole life.

He was actually supposed
to be my godfather,

but my mom
didn't really allow that.

When my dad and him
first came to Alaska together,

they started working
on the Wizard together.

[Tyler's dad]
Whoo-hoo!

Smile, Keith.

Hi, Mom!

[Tyler] He's
a really close family friend,

and he's done a lot
for my family.

Pretty hard seeing him
in this state.

And it's even more scary
that he won't accept it,

the fact that he's not healthy
and he's in critical condition
right now.

I'm a crabber, I'm a thrasher.
Who the [bleep] cares?

You gotta always
have that attitude, Gilly.

Always.

So it's pretty scary [bleep].

And nobody wants
to see him hurt.

We're gonna get him
to the dock,

hopefully in time,
and he'll be all right.

Okay, here comes
a [bleep] wave.

[Gary] Watch out!

[bleeping]

[Cody speaking]

[Monte] Is everything
good down there?

[Gary] Everybody okay?

[over radio] Yeah, roger!

Mother [bleep].

We're not in there yet.

Come on, girls,
just fight.

What do you think, Rog?

What are you seeing
back there?

[Roger speaking]

[Monte] Son of a b*tch.

[Cody] Oh, there's
another one!

[Monte] Three-tenths
off of the beach.

Come on, girl.

[Gary] Hold on!

[Roger] Seem to be spinning
around quite nicely.

[Monte] This
could be it right here.

We're carrying a lot of speed.
We gotta watch our speed here.

[Cody] Whoa!

-[Monte] It flattened out?
-[Roger] Looks okay.

Looks like it's Fl*ttening out
a little bit.

[Gary] Got it?

[Roger speaking]

-[Monte] Clear of the break?
-[Roger] Yeah.

[Roger speaking]

Oh, man. [bleep]
Thank you.

[bleep] Mary.

Gonna go to that dock
in the corner.

Okay, Saint Paul Harbor.

[sighs in relief]
Oh, man.

[exhales]

[bleep] yeah, no kidding.

[siren wailing]

Get the thing.

Okay, here comes
the response people.

So can somebody
go grab him?

[man] That's all
you're gonna get.

[Gary] Thank you
for the help!

You're tight.

[Monte] Hey, bro?

Okay.

I love you, man.
You're gonna be all right.

[Monte exhales]

Okay.

Anchorage to Seattle

what's going on with him.

[sighs]

[exhales]

[Sig] Keith's
not invincible.

I know he thinks he is,

but you know this is gonna be
a pretty sobering reality

slapping him in the face
there pretty quick.

Monte's gonna have to finish
this trip up for him.

That's just the way it is
right now.

[Monte] He was
really stressed out,
yelling and screaming and mad,

and he's kind of rotten to me,
but we'll get past that.

[chuckles] Just
an older brother, I guess.

But you just gotta buckle
