22x08 - Anything That Can Go Wrong

[bunniefuu]

[Luca over phone]

[Jake] I'm coming home
as soon as I can.

We're on our last trip now.

We just need to find some crab
and stuff these tanks.

[Luca over phone]

You have absolutely no idea.
It's my favorite thing.

[Jake] I love you.

[Jake] Bye-bye.

Got an offload date, so I got
to hurry up and make this push.

It's the last offload
of the season.

[Sig]
I want to finish strong.

We still have 16,000 pounds
to catch.

And, you know, canneries
are closing.

So it's not a lot of time.

Hope and pray that we'll be
good getting these pots

on board and set.

In bad weather, that's gonna
be an accomplishment.

[Monte]
Coming down the home stretch,

[groans]

I start to get nervous.

Doesn't take much for something
to go wrong.

-Oh, [bleep]!
-Whoa!

Yahoo!

Nice.

[Sig]
I can't see a damn thing.

Watch the rail,
watch the rail.

[bleep]!

Whoa.
[bleep].

Go, go, go, go, go!

[Jake]
I got to get home to my boys,

and this is the only way
I know how to do it.

[narrator]


on the Northwestern.

[Sig]
We're getting close to the end
of the season here,

and it's been a bear.

I need a 50 average to kind of
reach our mark.

We've got a north-south


and hopefully we got
the payoff here.

Come on, baby.
Come on, come on.

Come on.

Now, watch the rail.
Hang on.

Watch the rail.

Whoa!

What have we got?
What have we got?

-Uh-oh.
-Not much.

Yeah, [sighs].
[bleep], man.

Oh, my God.
We're never going home.

Here it comes.

Come on!

Oh, here you go.

[Sig]
There's some life in that one.

I think it's gonna get
better to the south here.

[Sig]
We're trying to get the gear
moved and reset.

And we need to do it quickly
because the doors are closing.

Pretty low numbers right now.

We definitely need to stack
this one, go take it somewhere

where we can --
-[loud hissing]

[bleep]!
[bleep]!

[high-pitched beep]

[Sig groans]
No crane.

If we got to go in
because of the crane,

I'm gonna lose
my mind.

[Clark speaking]

All right.

You know, it's metric,

but I've got a couple of those
fittings that

are standard to metric.

Well, that's the thing,
if you fall on the deck,

then you're really gonna
get munched.

-Yeah.
-Promise me you'll tie in
on something.

-Yeah, I'll tie in.
-OK.

[Sig] Hose busted.

That's not good with that
crane because

it's all metric system.

So hopefully they can
fix the leak.

After the Northwestern's
European-made crane

blows a hydraulic hose...

Captain Sig Hansen's first
mate and son-in-law,

Clark Pedersen, volunteers to
climb 20 feet above

the pitching deck to retrieve
the broken metric fitting.

OK, he's going all the way
up there.

Betting he can jury-rig
a standard-gauge workaround

from the boat's spare parts.

Whoa!

[Sig]
A lot of hydraulic oil.
It's slippery.

The more she rolls,
the more he has to hang on,

the more chance there is to
fall off that pedestal.

Oh, big roll.

[Clark groans]

You all right?

and back to a guy, so if he does
slip off, at least...

[intense music plays]

[Sig] Watch out!
There's a big one!

Hang on!

[groans]

[groans]

Oof.

[Sig]
You break it loose?

Your right, this side.

He had to hang on there like
a monkey, but he got it down.

Because that crane is metric,
he has to kind of jerry-rig

a bunch of different fittings
together to fit

on the end of that thing.

And then hopefully,
cross our fingers,

he's got the proper fittings
to make this work.

It's always when
it's the worst timing.

It doesn't matter what.



[Monte] The gear hasn't
cooperated much.

Exactly.

[Monte] Roger.
No, totally get it.

All right, I gotta go.

...on the Wizard.

We're certainly up against
a clock here.

Coming up, bud.

Got about 24 hours before
we gotta leave.

After being forced
to move 50 pots

set in a restricted zone

by his brother, Keith Colburn,

Monte readies his final salvo
of the fall in legal territory,

targeting his last $900,000
for bairdi crab.

We're in a new area,
so looking for gold.

[Monte] Now we got a couple of
new people.

Oceana and her older brother,
she's 25, something like that.

We're up against a lot.

You know, I've got some really
strong guys on here with me,

which is huge.

We got Gary, Freddy, and Robert.

-[loud bang]
-[alarm blaring]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[alarm continues blaring]

-[low buzzing]
-[alarm stops]

[dramatic music plays]

Well, we've got
three generators

that produce the ship's power...

just shut itself off.

So we can't haul and set
any gear.

So let's just hope
Joe figures it out.

He's not sure why it would have
shut down.

We have a problem.



aboard the Cornelia Marie.

We got an offload date,
so I got to hurry up

and make this push.

It's the last offload
of the season.

Every time I ran across this
band right here, this gully,

I kept running into crab.

But the weather's terrible.

He'd say, "I fished right
through that [bleep]."

I know he would set 'em,
so I'm setting 'em.

Helming the legendary vessel
made famous by Phil Harris...

We're going to be here.
We got a job to do.

Let's go do it.

...Captain Jake Anderson makes
his own play for legacy,

setting in 20-foot breakers,
targeting his remaining


quarter-million-dollar quota

due in a mere three days.

[Jake]
I don't think I can get it off
safely unless I do

some kind of set and hide.

All right, fellas,
hold on to your nuts.

-Yeah, yeah!
-Ready!

OK, go ahead and dump it.

Going over!

Go forward.
Go forward.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Set and hide is very simple.

You jog up against the weather.

[overlapping exclamations]

And as they wait, you mash into
the waves as fast as you can.

Yee-haw!

Until you get to the next point
of departure for the next pot.

[bleep] nervous, man.
We've got to keep going.

It kind of sucks that we've
got to put these pots where

the crab are,
so we're gonna be exposed.

That's all there is to it.

All right, fellas, go ahead
and go up forward.

Go, go!

[indistinct chatter]

Let's go, buddy!

OK, guys, set it.

That's a big one right there.

All right, guys, go ahead
and go forward.

Go forward!
Go forward!

[bleep] big, hang on!
Hang on!

Hang on!

It's big, hang on!
Hang on! Hang on!

[bleep], can feel that one.
That one's bad.

[bleep] me, dude.

[bleep] push me
[bleep] sideways.

[bleep] dude.

All right, guys, go ahead
and dump that one.

Everybody on forward,
I can't see.

Go, go, go, go!

Come on back out, send it.

Go ahead and get forward.
Get forward.

Holy [bleep]!

[Jake]
Dump that one.

Starting to get in the swing of
it now.

A lot of dangerous moments,
but...

I got to catch crab.
I got to get home to my boys.



on the Northwestern.

[Sig] There's a hydraulic leak
with that crane.

So Clark has to kind of
jerry-rig a bunch of

different fittings together

because we got to make
that offload.

That's just all there is to it.

Be sure to catch a good camera
view of [bleep] eating [bleep].

Oh.

Wow.

Whoo.

[Sig groans]

[indistinct]

-I just got to grab the wrench.
-It's up there.

Oh, [bleep].

I got it.

[Sig]
Oh, biggie, big, big, big.

[grunting]

We're rolling.

[groans]

Ugh.

[Clark] I think that's about
as good as it's gonna get.

Use it without the winch
and see what happens.

Come on.

Come on, baby.

No leak.

-Yahoo!
-Yahoo!

[bleep] yeah!

[Sig speaking]

We saw light, so...

I'm gonna adjust my setting
to the south.

Roger.

[Rick speaking]



on the Aleutian Lady.

We got the 70 pots on
board the boat.

And I got to spot-check
three strings

because I want to make sure
I target our best area.

Trying to wrap up bairdi.

-[claps]
-Here we go.

[bleep]

OK.

I mean, our first pot was 13,
so it's hard to tell.

[high-pitched beeping]

Damn it!

What's that?

[bleep]

The number three tank alarm.

That means there's water
in the tank.

Roger.

You cannot have a slack tank
in a storm.

A slack tank is when you have
the tank not fully pressed,

or not fully empty, so the water
can slosh back and forth.

And if you get enough
movement, you could actually

roll your boat over from it.

Can we get to that hatch cover?

[bleep]!

I didn't want to set this
gear here.

I wanted to go through all
three of these strings.

With the hatch covered by


We got a storm, I got a slack
tank, and we got to find out

why we're making water.

...Captain Rick must shell off
his gear blind

before 7,000 gallons
of sloshing seawater

threatens to capsize
his vessel.

Watch your back!
Watch your back!

All right, guys,

let's get these off quick.
I'm gonna speed it up.

You heard him,
let's move it boys!

[indistinct chatter]

Hustle, damn it!

-[indistinct]
-[bleep]

[Rick]
Crap, come on, guys.
Hurry up!

We've got to get this going.

Move it, move it.
Get that [bleep] door open.

All right, get that bait in.
Let's go!

Watch the rail!
Watch the rail!

Whoa -- [bleep]!

On the Aleutian Lady...

Watch the rail,
watch the rail.

Go, go, go!

Getting these pots off
is priority.

...after an alarm alerted him
of water infiltrating

his half tank, Captain Rick
orders an emergency set...

One over!

...to access the hatch
on the deck

and troubleshoot the source
of the leak

before it threatens
vessel stability.

All right, guys, one pot left.
Let's go, let's go.

As soon as
that tank's uncovered,

[bleep]

Six-inch rubber stoppers,
or plugs, are used to seal

the top of empty crab tanks.

Worked loose in heavy seas,
water can flow in

at 100 gallons a minute,

compromising the vessel's
seaworthiness.

[Rick]
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on.

It really sucks

I had to set these pots
right here.

But we didn't have a choice.



I'm already hooked up,
actually, down below.

As long as I'm good right here,
I'll hook it up and it should

start charging them batteries.

...36 hours after losing
the electrical power needed to

run their main generator
and the ship's hydraulics,

a now fully-clothed engineer,
Joe Serpas, looks to jumpstart

the Wizard's genny.

Ah!

OK, enough chitty chatting.
Let's get to work.

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Kind of a, you know, kind of
down day here, down day.

We're up against the cannery
and the clock.

We don't have a lot of time
to work.

[Monte] You're right.

Let's see if we can't get out
of this little funk

we're in this morning.

OK, I got to get busy, bro.

We'll talk to you when
we get in.

All right, later.

Yeah.

Maybe we should get
the hair trimmers out.

We can definitely use a little
luck, no doubt.

I got no girlfriend right now,

so you better [bleep] make it
look good.

All right.

First time?

All right, all right.

-I know.
-[Monte] Is it lucky?

Well, you know,
the mohawks never hurt.

Ready to rock.

Oh, yeah.

[Monte]
It's like [bleep] coming up.

OK.

Let's just hope for some solid
scores out of here.

We'd be happy if we hauled
a 50 or 60 out of this.

Let's get what we [bleep] need
and get out of here.

Come on, baby!

Come on baby!
Give us some love!

Come on baby!
Give us some love!

Whoo!

All right.
Right on.

All right.
Now we're fishing.

-Whoo!
-They're big, baby.
Monsters!



Come on,
just keep 'em coming.

Yeah baby!

We in the bank.

Nice.



-[crew cheering]
-Bring it on!

[Monte]
Let's hope it stays like this,
because if it does,

we might make it in today.



[Jake] It's nice the weather
came down.

...on the Cornelia Marie.

[Jake] So we're back on this
gully here.

About to start hauling now

and see what we actually get
out of it.

We got an offload date,
so I got to hurry up

and make this push.

Let's go!

No!

What is this?

First pot's not great.
It's like 30.

Oh, it's not enough.


Two-five!

-Clothesline baby!
-Come on baby!

I'm a little bit concerned.

[overlapping exclamations]

Yeah!

-Yeah,man!
-Loaded with crab.

-Damn!
-Nice pot!

[Jake] Oh, yeah.
Look at that.

[crew cheering]

[bleep] yeah, dude!

Look at all them chickens.

I'm gonna come down
and watch the sort.

Yeah, Roger!
Roger!

[crew cheering]

Dude, dude.
It's pretty big.

Yeah, baby!

Yeah, look at that.

Looks good.




Oh, that makes me happy, man.

You guys put those pots right
where they need to --

-Oh, oh, oh!
-Hey, hey, hey!

Hold on, hold on.
Hold on.

I can't get down there.

-OK, everybody back.
Everybody back.
-[bleep].

Hey, we got that SCBA?

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Got it!

Everybody get in
the house now!

Yep, yep, we got it.

We got to get
to the wheelhouse.

Here we go.

I don't know.
It tastes like plastic.

Hang on, my man's coming out of
the forepeak right now.

Fried some [bleep] wires in
the 480 panel.

[bleep].

You can say that again.

[sighs]
At least we put it out.

So until we get this fixed,
we're dead in the water.



on the Northwestern.

[Sig speaking]

We bumped this over
to the south.

This string has to pay off
for us.

Everything got pushed back
because of the crane,

and now it's down to the wire.

So if we can get a 60 average
out of this string,

we can wrap this thing up.

All right, first pot's coming
up here.

Oh, yeah.
Come on, b*tches!

That's looking good!

There's some crab there.

Yeah!

Oh, yeah.

[Sig] 56.

Well, I mean,
that's a good pot.

That means there's life.

But we're gonna need a 60
average out of this string.

There we go.

Good?

-Yeah!
-Whoo!

I got nothing here either.

[indistinct]

[Sig]
I can't see a damn thing!

[Sig]
I can't see a damn thing!

On the Northwestern...

I got to keep it up against it
for a second here.

Hang on.

[indistinct]

[bleep]

With no power to the forward
sodiums or aft deck lights,

but propulsion and hydraulics
still operating...

Watch out!

...the Northwestern crew steps
into harm's way yet again,

using moonlight and handheld
torches to finish their string.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Should be right.

The name of the game is to just
get the pots on

and just be safe.

-I see it.
-Got it?

Yeah.

Here, pull up, pull up.

When you get slack,
pull a bunch.

Here, pull from the back.
Don't lose it.

Hold on.

Got it.

Let's haul in.

Good job.

We're just getting
a cent here.

Take your time.
Careful.

If we can just
get through this string,

we'll get her on
board and be done.



[Jake]
Weather picking up.

It's only gonna get worse.

...on the Cornelia Marie.

[Jake] And our only hope
is we can get this fixed.

[Jake] That breaker
controls everything.

So this is kind of the final
hope here.

Three, two, one, here we go.

Nice.

[phone ringing]

[Jake] Yeah.

[Jake]
Awesome.

All right, guys.

There's nothing else I can do
but haul this string

to finish off bairdi.

I ran the math, and I need
a 50 average.

I really hope we got it
in the gear.

[Jake] Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.

Here it comes.

Yeah!

[crew cheering]

Yeah!

Yeah!
[bleep] good, dude.



That's what we need.

-This thing's huge.
-Yeah!

Whoo!

Yeah!

Whoa!

That is a badass pot.

Ah!

Look at that table.

Now that's a bairdi.

[Jake] It's been a hell of
a fall season.

[laughing]

[Monte]
You know, and you got to trust
your crew members,

your comrades.

Ah, ah!

[Monte]
My brother admitting that
he doesn't belong on here

right now it probably
takes a lot, so...

Let's pick a good time to
have a heart-to-heart with him

and...figure it out.

We've got to
take care of him now.

-Roger.
-OK.

[Jake] Just like they want to do
good for me.

I'm the captain.

The big boss man.

[Jake] Thank God we made it
out alive.

There you go.
Yeah!

Boom!

[indistinct exclamations]

Yeah!

What dreams are made of.

[Rick]
We got very lucky.

I didn't want to set
this gear here,

but it's such a sigh
of relief right now.

Let's go, baby!

At the mouth of Dutch Harbor,

where the beginning and end
of all trips are made.

The whole fleet did a tribute
right here at Priest Rock.

[Jake] I was there that day

Coming up this winter...

Hang on, hang on, hang on!

-Go, go!
-[indistinct yelling]

Watch out!

Go, go!
[bleep]!

Been one of the coldest winters
in years.

Mine was blood,
sweat, and tears.

Watch out, watch out,
watch out, watch out!

Ice barreled down
at an unprecedented rate.

It just does not look
good here.

The weather is in control.

And when it comes,
it's like an attack.

And that's when things can
go wrong.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Hold on, hold on, hold on.

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

Coming around!
