22x13 - Those in Peril on the Sea

[bunniefuu]

- Bah!
- Boo!

There's so much
bad weather coming

back to back.

- Wah-wah-wah.
- .

The crew's tired.
Morale getting shot.

Damn it!

I am afraid that
something's gonna happen.

Southerly winds.

- Ah!
- Are you good?

- .
- You think it's broke?

I don't know.

Confused seas.

You better get down!

Watch out, watch out!

- Whoo!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

What happened?

Oh, .
Everyone keep an eye on him.

If he starts throwing up,
we've got problems.

Watch your back,
watch your back!

That ain't good.

Watch out! Watch out!
Watch out! Watch out!

Watch out!


Dutch Harbor...

Right now, I'm on edge.

...on the Northwestern.

We got an offload coming in
a couple of days.

Got another 100,000 pounds of
opies to catch,

but just not quite sure

where we want to put
these pots yet.

Well, why don't we move
the gear further west

and follow that canyon?

Maybe they're kind of, like,

being channeled through there.

- Oh, go parallel?
- Yeah.

I think with the way
the currents are going,

it's probably bringing a bunch
of feed down there,

and maybe it's a little
honey hole.

All right.
We'll give it a try.

With 50 pots ready to deploy
and their final 100,000 pounds

of opilio left to catch,
Captain Sig Hansen

and Sophia "Bob" Nielsen target
an eight-mile canyon where

underwater tidal forces sweep
plankton and algae into

a proverbial crab buffet while
above creating

a violent and confused sea.

Tell you what, why don't
you go on the port side

and kind of help me spot these
waves coming

because I can't see through
any of those windows.

All right, Captain.

Watch the rail.

Going over!

Ah, ooh.

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

Ooh, wave.

Looks like it's coming
from all directions.

I'm gonna come around
a little bit.

Come on, you b*tch.

- Wave.
- Look out, look out, look out!

!

!

Oh, .

So you can see the meat
right there.

- .
- Now what?

It's deeper than I thought.

damn it.

brand-new Vicky.

Right here.

- Hold on.
- There.

All better-- all right.

Bottom line is just to get it
wrapped, kids.

damn.

Can't believe it.

We don't know if that's
infected or not.

I'm just crossing my fingers.

Hopefully we find
something here.

We need crab.



on St. George Island...

We got this
big storm coming in.

...aboard the Time Bandit.

I go out and see if I
can get in the harbor,

because we've got to wait about


See if we can save some fuel.

I'm trying to catch
some opies.

We still have 30,000 pounds
to catch.

But the wind hasn't come down
long enough.

This is just ridiculous.

After taking shelter from
the weather,

Captain Johnathan Hillstrand
braces for a perilous exit

through the narrow,


betting he can steer through
the 15-foot breakers and away

from the hull-piercing,
rocky shoreline.

Go ahead and loosen 'em
up, Freddy.

Roger!

Uncleat it.

Drop it!
Here we go!

Let's go fishing, baby!

There's some big whitewater
right there.

It's a pretty small
little entrance

is the problem.

Arr...

You just got to time it right.

Oh, yeah, there's some big
waves there.

That's way bigger than
I thought.

- Oh, oh!
- Holy!

That one went right
over the breakwater.

Just every, like, 12th or 13th
wave is a big one.

Time Bandit, baby!

Whoo!

Bring it on, boys!
Bring it on!

Are you kidding, Freddy?

Oh, my God.

What are they doing?

Oh, look at that!

- Look out, look out.
- Wow!

Yeah, under.

Aye, aye, aye.

Holy .

- OK, I'm ready.
- Hell yeah, brother.

Now.

Let's do this.

Come around.
Come on around.

- Whoo!
- Come on, baby!

Oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-h*!

Whoo-hoo!

Yee-haw!

- Whoa!
- That's it!

Having some problem.
Come around, baby.

Holy ,
look at that wave.

Yeah, that's a big one there.
Watch out.

That's gonna-- that's gonna
slam us hard.

Oh! Oh!

Ah!

Oh, yeah, man, we got
hit hard there.

me.

I did that for you for
Valentine's Day, Heather.

Whoo-hoo.

That was a good one.

Roger!

Going back out fishing.

I've just got to get up to
our gear and start hauling.



Watch the rail,
watch the rail!

Yeah, baby!

...on the opilio grounds...

.

Those things are
monsters, dude.

Look at 'em.

They're building.

...aboard the Cornelia Marie.

Hang on.

The weather's getting bad,

and I got an offload date that
I can't push.

I'm trying to find crabs.

Right now,
we're in the 90-fathom range.

I'm following temperature.

We know you can't go any
shallower than 92 fathoms,

and you don't want to go any
deeper than 96.

So I want to set right here

and end right here.

All right, fellas, let's get
these off.

Get this off the boat.

...the rail,
watch the rail please.

Roger.

.

I got the weather on
the starboard side.

I gotta go fast, and not too
fast that it'd break everything

or k*ll somebody.

.

OK, watch this one.

Rail, rail, rail!

Oh, damn, I can't even
see the waves coming up

from behind me.

Oh, .

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

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

Oh, no!

Ah!

On the Cornelia Marie...

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

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

Oh, no!

Ah!

Like a freight train
came through.

.

Ah, .

That's it, we're gonna turn
and just set...

- I'm gonna dog-leg this string.
- Going over!

I got an offload date,
so I gotta hurry up.

But the weather's coming from
the starboard side.

I gotta turn and go up
against it.

It's dangerous as hell.

So I can't fish
where I want to.

I'm fishing where I have to,

over 100 fathoms deep.

I'm racing against time here.

Going over!



How's it feel?

It's still oozing.
Yeah, it's purple right here.

Oh, yeah, you got some
gnarly bruising.

...on the Northwestern.

Karl just had an incident
with a knife.

The weather's picking up
right now,

by the minute.

Just get through this.

That's it.

After administering
butterfly closures

to Karl's one-inch gash,

Dr. Sig Hansen tests his own
patience and Bob's hunch.

This is that string you set.

Got a mile.
You can run it to the end

and start it if you like.

Sure.

- Do you trust me?
- No.

So, we'll be bucking into it.

The big thing is to just
keep the guys

safe, keep them out of
the weather as much as I can.

Hopefully, my intuition,

my Bob-tuition was right,

and we land on
some good, healthy crab.

.
damn it.

!

She's kind of towing a lot,

putting a lot of tension
on the line.

Look out the window.

...now you put it in gear.
You barely put it in gear.

You can probably start
straightening out a little bit.

- Oh, my.
- All right.

Good.

OK.
Let's see the second one.

Oh, !

Are you good?

- I don't know.
- What's going on with Clark?

What do you mean?

I don't know.
He's, like, shaking his hand.

You know what?
Let me grab the next one.

OK.

Clark, come on up.

- Roger.
- Woo!

Whoa, yeah.

I kind of
my hand up.

This just went

on the diver bag on
the inside of the horn

and got ripped through.

I can see it, it's swelling
right in front of me.

If it doesn't get better,
then you're out.

- Get some ice on it.
- Yeah.

.

I can go out on deck
and help the guys.

I think one catastrophe is
enough, you know?

I don't want to take
that chance.

That should not have happened.

Yeah!

Oh, my.

This is good crab here.

I think this is our spot.

We don't have time
to screw around.



on the way
to the opilio crab grounds...

Right now-- that was a big
wave, whoo-hoo!

Okay, big wave.

Big, big wave.
Hang on.

...aboard the Time Bandit.

The guys are sleeping
like babies.



I'm steaming hard.

Here's where we found some
crabs right here.

Some nice, clean crab,
right in 87 fathoms.

I'll give it to Teddy Bear.
And...

- Oh, oh.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, Johnny?

Yeah?

Something happened
to Ryan, man.

Oh, -- OK.

On the Time Bandit...

OK, let me see.

Yeah, right there.

OK, we just need to get
some suture tape.

Come out here
and lay at the table.

Get him
a blanket and a pillow.

Come lay down.

Lay down with your head
this way.

Put his legs that way.

We've got to put him
right here.

Scooch down.
Scooch down.

Oh!

Got some suture tape in there?

- Yeah.
- OK.

- Here, Neal.
- Is that it?

Just close it good, Neal.

Squeeze it as tight as you can.

You're OK, darling.

Just relax, relax, relax.

- Yeah.
- Keep your head up.

Yep, yep.

Stay right there-- OK.

Put a blanket on you.

We're gonna have to just keep
an eye on him.

Everyone keep an eye on him.

If he starts throwing up,
we got problems.

Roger.

We have
an injured crew member.

Ryan fell out of his bed
and cut his head, so...

OK.

Open your eyes just
a little bit.

I'm trying.

He's in pretty bad shape.

We can't take a chance.

We're gonna have to go
to the clinic.

That sucks, but that's what
we got to do.

Look, St. George Island Harbor.

That's just trouble.

Going in there.

It's been pretty scary,
but, uh...

Here we go again.

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.



on the northern
opilio grounds...

...aboard the Cornelia Marie.

My main objective right now is
get this crab on the boat

and get in and deliver
our opies.

But because of the weather,
I just didn't get these pots

where I wanted to.

These are the pots that
we set shallower.

They start gradually get
deeper and deeper.

I can only haul the gear with
the weather on the port side.

You just got to give
her the juice and she'll turn.

Come on crab!

That's not good.

.

- It's looking pretty weak.
- Damn it!

Come on!

What the--

Worse and worser.

This is where we set 'em
in the first place.

And I got 'em right where
I wanted to put 'em.

Missed completely.

.

All right, we just lost power.

Everybody accounted for?

Careful!

!

I'm going down to the
engine room real quick.

!

Yeah.

Power outage is from
a shorted wire,

and it arced.
Whoosh!

Dropped the power.

Suspecting one of
his generator inputs tripped

a breaker, ship's engineer
Jake Albinio confirms

the source of the fault...

!

...when 400 amps
explode in his face,

saved only by
the thermoplastic grip

of his $11 screwdriver.

That's a hell of a night.

Without the generator,
I got nothing.

I got no hydraulics.
I got no electricity.

I have no toilet.

I got to get this
generator figured out, fixed.

There's no room for error.

I gotta get to my offload.



Oh-h*-h*.

...on the Northwestern.

Clark ran his hand
through the block.

Good job, Bob.

All they gotta do is keep up
with the tempo.

Ah, dummies.

Here it comes!
Here it comes, baby!

These are probably gonna be
the best pods we've ever seen.

Well, I sure hope so.

I mean, we've got a lot on
the line here.

Because I want to make
my offload.

Come on, baby!
Come on! Come on!

Well, here we go.

- That's a lot of crab.
- Oh-h*-h*!

- That'll work.
- There you go.

- Yeah, baby!
- Let's go!

Is it all right?

Yeah, there's a good chunk
of crab in there.

It's all clean.

It might work out after all.

Well, thank you, good sir.

Now, are you going easy
on the hand, Clark?

All right.

Oh, .

He's slowing down.

Looks like maybe he's favoring
a hand or something.

Who's on the hook?

They're just
on vacation right now,

and it's making me angry.

I'm just running out of time,
plain and simple.

- That's a full crab bin.
- It's so full.

I am going to jump out on
the deck and try to help

the guys out there,
because Clark hurt his hand.

And I'm an extra body,
and that's what I came to do.

I came to help.
I came to work.

I understand why he doesn't

want me going out there.
He doesn't know me.

But, I mean, if the guys need
help, I've worked out on deck

before, and I know what
I'm doing.

- Oh-h*-h*-h*-h*!
- Yeah, baby!

- Yeah.
- Bob?

- Now's not the time.
- I'm just trying to help.

OK.

What are you gonna do?

I didn't exactly want her on
deck, but that shows a lot of

spunk, I guess would be
the right word.

Yeah!

Reminds me of Mandy, so...

That's a good thing.

We'll get through these things
in time.

- Roger!
- Whoo!

Yeah, baby!

We're adding up fast.

- Whoa-h*!
- Next pot!

Then go in,
offload, and regroup.

Yeah!

Clark's hand, we got to
address that as well.

See a doctor for him.

And...
take care of our guys.

Two miles
from St. George Island...

Not good.

Does John know?

He's the one...?

I don't--
I don't even remember.

...aboard the Time Bandit.

Ryan was getting up
and he slipped off his bunk

and cracked his head on
a corner of a shelf.

So...

trying to make it
to the island.

It's not an easy thing to
do here.

The only thing more
dangerous than exiting

St. George Harbor in


Entering in
a 17-foot following sea,

robbing John of his rudder
and throttle control,

threatening to send
the 113-foot Time Bandit

off course
and into the jagged shoreline.

If you time it wrong,
it might not be good.

If you get sideways,
you're in a lot of trouble.

What do you think, Neal?

Slow and steady, brother.

"Slow and steady,"
my brother says.

- You got this.
- You ready?

Yeah, that's a big wave there.

Problem is, I'm sort of
surfing right here.

Not good.

And look how fast we're moving.

Damn it!

Hang on!

We're sideways.

Not good.

Screwed.
We're screwed.

Oh, .
OK.

Hang on!

Coming around.

Come on.
Come on.

Come on, baby.

Whew.

Why am I sweating b*ll*ts
right now?

Whew.

me.
That was gnarly, dude.

Wow, Neal.
We made it.

Thank you, sir.

We got a little bit of
a sleigh ride coming in there.

- He was puckering for us.
- I was puckered up .

I was crazy.

Now I got to take Ryan
to the clinic.

head hurts
like a mother.

But, uh, get some stitches.

I can't leave town unless
the doctor checks him out.

Hopefully he'll be good enough
tomorrow to go fishing with us.

I need some new underwear.



...on the Cornelia Marie.

Nice.

...crab gear in a second.

This is my last chance,
this is my last hope

before we go into offload.

We had to turn her away from
where I think the crab are.

We're fishing in the deep.

Over 100 fathoms deep.

Come on, baby!

Here we go, boys!

- Yeah!
- Whoo!

Holy dude.

Oh, my God.

yeah, dude.

I didn't expect that.

There is crab here.

- Whoo!
- We just-- full pots.

.

Wham, wham, wham!

If I do this right,
this is gonna be my last set.

My last tank when I go offload.

The thing about fishing,
you never know what can happen.

You've got to be able to switch
your frame of mind and adapt.

Try to make some magic happen.

It's been a hard opie season,
but as you can see,

it's paid off.

We've got a happy crew
down there.

Everybody's making money.

It's a pretty good way to go
into bairdi.
