[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...
[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.
06.25, west.
[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]
[Cody speaking]
What the [bleep] happened to him?
[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, bitch.
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.
150 over 120.
[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 bitch.
[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 flattening 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.

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,
