[doctor] 60-year-old white, biological male,
lost consciousness multiple times at sea.
[beeping]
[doctor 2] Uh, he did fall hit his head.
[doctor] He's complaining about the pain in his left shoulder,
numbness, dizziness.
Uh, he was hypertensive with a BP...
-[doctor 2] Okay, let's take him back down. -...of 182 over 126.
[doctor 2] Uh-huh.
[Monte] We're not sure what is happening
with my brother, but it's, it's not good.
You know, you can't take chances out here.
You know you can't roll the dice with your health.
We're pretty fragile.
A lot of variables.
[indistinct shouting]
-[Monte] Stress. -[indistinct shouting, bleep]
[man] What the hell?
[Chino] I can't feel my legs!
[Monte] Lifestyle.
Enough is enough. Wanna file for sexual harassment.
Wait, what?
[Monte] You know, just all the above.
-[indistinct shouting] -[cheering]
There's some life! There's some life!
[bleep] Yeah!
This season has been... borderline disastrous.
[beeping]
[doctor] We're just gonna run a whole bunch of tests,
and then once we get the results back,
we're gonna give 'em to you as soon as we can, all right?
[Monte] He's my brother. I love him.
And we have about 30,000 pounds to go.
It's going to be a bit of a battle here.
But we're gonna catch these crab.
That's what we do.
[narrator] Eight hundred miles from Anchorage,
on the bairdi crab grounds...
He's had some kind of medical episode,
so nobody knows what's going on.
But when you're out here, you can't afford to...
guess if somebody is okay.
I don't know. It's pretty crazy.
[Lenny speaking]
[Monte] Okay. Get ready.
[narrator] ...aboard the Wizard.
[Monte] All right, we're getting back out here.
My brother's plane has made it to Anchorage.
So now they will know if there's clotting or bleeding
or anything that would have generated a potential stroke.
We're going to try to stay on task here without him.
You know, we still need over 20,000 pounds.
And you know, the canneries...
putting pressure on us, like he wants us back in a couple of days.
It's like [bleep] how the hell am I supposed to be back in two to, two to three days?
Yeah, coming up, Rog.
Let's get some crab and go home.
[Roger] Let's do this!
Cash money, man! Cash money!
[Monte] So, these are two strings.
I'm just kind of hoping as we haul down this thing,
we start to see some numbers.
And I kind of hope that thing's been down long enough
to soak up a 50 or better.
[Roger] Whoo, baby!
Come on, baby, give me a few.
[Roger] Coming up. Let's hope it's loaded. Come on, baby.
[Roger] Oh, man.
No good.
Not seeing what we want to see right here to start with.
[Roger] Right...
-[Roger] Fourteen. -Fourteen.
[Monte] We have 40s and 50s,
you know and now here, we're not seeing much of these.
[Roger] Come on!
This really sucks.
[Roger] Give us something to work on!
[Roger speaking]
[cell phone vibrating]
[Sig speaking]
Yeah, how are you?
[Sig] Uh, we're plugging along here.
We're getting gear pulled.
How-how did it go with your brother?
[Monte speaking]
and he's since obviously made it to Anchorage
and had a battery of tests done.
[Sig] I know you've been put into a real rough situation.
Anything we can do,
uh, just reach out.
I'm serious. Anything at all.
[Roger] What is this?
Damn it.
Kind of at a loss here a little bit
and didn't know if, uh, you thought
there'd be something worth sniffing up right through there.
[Sig speaking]
Does that make sense?
[Monte speaking]
We'll be in touch.
Keep me in the loop. I'm out.
All right. Bye.
Okay.
It makes the decision to leave
this upper area pretty straightforward.
We're wishing my brother well,
we're not sure what is happening.
So now there's even more pressure up here...
to get something rolling.
[narrator] One hundred and eighty-eight miles southeast...
[waves splashing]
If you don't learn how to do little things right,
you'll never be able to do big things right.
That's all I have to say.
Thank you for your... Thank you.
[narrator] On the Aleutian Lady...
[Rick speaking]
[crew member] Get rocking!
[Rick] This is hard to even make a living right now.
As soon as you find a little sign
and you start targeting it, a storm comes in
or they vanish.
I mean, this has just been one of those years that...
you can't get a break.
I got 58 pots down south,
and I'm running out of time.
[narrator] A month into the winter season...
[Rick] Let's go get some crabs.
[narrator] And only 15 percent of his bairdi quota caught.
Captain Rick Shelford leans on his southern string
and a crew that has yet to gel
in order to hit his offload in just 48 hours.
[crew member speaking]
Now we have five.
And it's still taking forever.
[Rick speaking]
[crew member] Come on, crabs!
[crew member 2] No! [bleep]
What is this?
[blows raspberry]
Looking pretty weak.
[crew member 3] Twelve!
[Rick] It feels like this area is very fished out.
[crew member 2] Go back a little bit.
Hold it. Hold it. Hold it.
-[laughs] -Now go.
[Vasily speaking]
And we need to work.
We don't need any [bleep].
[crew member 2] Oh, My God.
Vasily and I are around each other via proximity.
And our friendship is nonexistent and will continue to be,
because I don't think he wants that.
That's fine.
Nonstop.
This kind of stuff.
Right now, I need him to stay focused on doing his job,
because I'm not putting up with any more BS.
[Jacob speaking]
The, uh, top of and the south side of this hill is dead.
[indistinct conversation]
[Rick] So I got to get it moved as quick as we can.
Set them out deeper because this shallow stuff sucks.
We're about to fling these things off and...
hopefully, uh, come up with a nice pocket of crab eventually.
-Yeah! -Roger!
Let's go!
[Jacob] It looks like we're breaking up these strings a little bit.
We can only hope at this point.
We're gonna be here way past Valentine's Day if this keeps up.
I'll make Vasily my Valentine.
-Oh! -[laughing]
Careful. Careful, careful, careful.
[Vasily speaking]
[Noah] Down it goes.
[Jacob] Hurry up!
Hey, are you okay?
[Jacob] Yeah, roger.
Holy [bleep] that was scary.
[Jacob speaking]
[Rick] I mean, it looks like he's fine.
He looks like he's okay.
But It's not a game.
It's not a joke.
It's not ha-ha-ha, okay? Everything's fine.
It's scary.
That should never happen.
Vasily needs to get his act together.
And just step it up.
[cameraman] Good.
[Rick] Guys, you're gonna have to work together whether they like it or not.
Because it's got to get done.
[crew member] Going over.
[narrator] Thirty-three miles northeast.
[Jake] You guys ready to go?
And gals?
A lot of work to do.
Chino, can I get you to do my windows before we go out?
Or when we go out? Yeah, I can't see through them.
Okay, so this is our final push, so keep your head on straight.
This is when accidents happen.
All right.
[Jake] Be safe.
[narrator] On the Titan Explorer...
All right, it's time to haul some gear.
But we have a lot of catching up to do.
I have northern gear spanned from depth of 66 fathoms
all the way into 36 fathoms.
I've got $280,000 worth of crab to catch.
If I can do it fast, I'll make a lot of money.
If I don't, I'll lose my job.
[narrator] Only two days into a 10-day final trip,
Captain Jake Anderson idles near 40 pots
set along a 15-degree underwater bank,
for the final 30,000 crab he needs to finish his winter season.
All right. We're coming up on the first pot.
[Jake speaking]
[indistinct chatter]
[exclaims excitedly]
Money, money, money!
The first one's in the block. This is going to be exciting,
which is dangerous for somebody like me.
Because excitement can turn to anger real quick.
-[tool whirring] -[crew member] Come on, crab!
[crew member 2] Come on, baby. Come to papa!
Yeah!
[cheering]
There's some life. There's some life!
-Oh, yeah! -Woohoo!
[all laughing]
Whoo!
[crew member] Forty-seven!
Money, money, money!
Please be more than a pocket of crab.
Be a river of crab.
[indistinct shouting]
[exclaiming excitedly]
Yeah!
[Jake] It finally feels like I'm doing my job.
-[Chino groaning in pain] -[bleep]
[indistinct shouting]
[screaming]
[Jake] You all right?
[crew member] Chino, you okay?
[Chino speaking]
[narrator] On the Titan Explorer...
[Chino grunts]
[screaming in pain]
[Jake] You all right?
[crew member] Chino, you okay?
[Chino] I can't feel my legs.
[indistinct chatter]
[Jake speaking]
Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, no.
Real careful. Real careful.
Grab him by his arms back here.
All right, careful.
[speaking indistinctly]
-Hold it. Hold it, Chino. -[groaning in pain]
[Chino groaning]
[bleep]
[crew member] Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[bleep]
-[Jake speaking] -[Todd] Wait!
[Jake speaking]
[Todd] Lay on your back, bro.
[Todd] Go slow. Go slow. Go real slow, okay?
[crew member yelling indistinctly]
[Jake speaking]
Make way!
You can't feel your legs? At all?
I can feel some but I can't [bleep] move it right.
[Todd] Okay.
[crew member] We need to immobilize his head now.
[Jake] There we go.
I need somebody with a knife. A knife?
[crew member 2] Hold on. Watch out.
[Jake] Let me see it. Let me see it.
[Todd] Just be careful there.
[producer] Yep. Yep.
Good position right now. Let's just stay comfortable.
[intense music playing]
[dial tone ringing]
[coast guard speaking]
Hey, my name is Jake Anderson.
I'm the captain of the Titan Explorer.
I'm at 55-56-05.
One-six-six-two-seven-o-eight.
I have an injury on board,
[coast guard speaking]
[Jake] Titan Explorer.
[coast guard speaking]
Uh, head injury.
The crane operator was swinging the pot...
and, um, my employee was, uh, sorting crab.
And the pot hit him in the head.
Yes, I know!
Stay the [bleep] out of it!
You're not in charge!
I didn't ask you to [bleep] help with this!
[coast guard speaking]
[Jake] Yeah. I'll be right here.
-[coast guard speaking] -All right. Bye.
Call the neurosurgeon.
[producer] Hey, I just want to know...
-you asked-- -I know.
I have to establish command
because people, a lot of people were doing [bleep]
-that I did not want. -We can talk about that later.
-I'm on your team. -Yeah.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Jake] I said it earlier in the [bleep] day.
Be on the [bleep] lookout.
What happened?
Chino gets hit in the [bleep] head.
Everybody on board right now is pretty [bleep] scared.
[narrator] Ninety-eight miles north...
[Monte speaking]
[narrator] On the bairdi crab grounds...
[Monte speaking]
[shouting] Going over!
[crew member speaking]
[shouting] Going over!
[cell phone ringing]
Hello.
[Keith speaking]
[Monte] Well, you tell me. What are they finding?
Yeah. So, you know, when I talked to Sig--
[Keith speaking]
Well, I talked to Sid because you were having a [bleep] stroke on this boat.
[Keith speaking]
-I mean-- -He did mention the bands he was working in.
We've been driving all over the place.
We've got to get this done.
-[Keith] I mean, I understand-- -Come on!
Period!
I gotta go.
[Keith speaking]
[shouting] Going over!
[bleep] guy's out of his [bleep] mind.
I'm worried sick about him all day here.
Pretty-pretty scary.
But, you know right now,
I see nothing but really marginal fishing.
[crew member] Going over!
[Monte] Worry about that argument later.
God, I hope there's some crab here.
[exhales]
[narrator] One hundred and four miles southwest.
[Rick speaking]
[narrator] On the Aleutian Lady...
[Rick] Today is our make or break day.
I'd like to put 45,000 pounds on the boat.
This is a string I put out deeper.
[Jacob speaking]
We really have to stay on point.
The guys out on deck have to keep their head
on a swivel and have each other's back.
Because you only get these big sets come through on occasion,
and that's when the problems happen.
[man 1] Oh, yeah.
[cheering]
[man 2] Very nice, boys!
-Whoo! We got crab! -Oh!
[man speaking on radio]
Oh, hell, yeah!
[cheers]
This is a good sign.
Maybe I can set this back.
[all] Oh!
[indistinct shouting]
[man speaking]
[Vasily speaking]
-You okay? -[Vasily speaking]
[Jacob speaking]
[Vasily speaking]
[Jacob speaking]
Are you freaking serious?
[Vasily speaking]
[Rick speaking]
[man speaking]
[Vasily speaking]
[Jacob speaking]
[narrator] On the Aleutian Lady...
[Jacob speaking]
[Vasily speaking]
[Jacob speaking]
[Rick] What's up, man?
[Vasily] Jacob hit me in the head already once.
I asked him to yell hook when he lets it go.
He says, "No, keep your eyes open."
No, I'm busy working. I can't be everywhere.
So, he's dangerous.
He's liability.
Hopefully, we'll make it through.
He's not a fisher. He came from somewhere else.
I swear, I'm gonna start locking
that door down there so they can't even come up.
I tried to tell him to chill out.
Y'all chill out, man.
But he's older and he's cranky,
-and he's kind of a dick... -A little bit. Yeah.
He's gonna find someone to get mad at.
[Rick] I mean, we're jamming through this string,
and I'm gonna try to get through our next one.
This is our deepest gear right now.
I'm really hoping we'll get as many pounds as we can
before this offload.
[grunting]
Last pot is over here.
[Rick speaking over PA]
[man] Roger.
[Vasily speaking]
[Vasily continues speaking]
[Rick] I just need these guys
to work together and get it done.
Because I know they can.
Just need them to actually do it.
[narrator] Ninety miles southeast...
[cell phone ringing]
-Hey, Tony. -[man on phone]
We've got a, we got a pretty bad situation here.
[narrator] On the Titan Explorer...
We have a head injury on the boat.
[Tony on phone]
[Jake] One of the crew members
swung a pot and it hit another guy in the head.
[Tony speaking]
[Jake] We got him inside,
he said he couldn't feel his legs.
[Tony speaking]
Yep. He knows the cigarettes he smokes, all that [bleep].
[Tony speaking]
[Jake] Bruising on the crown of his head.
[Tony speaking]
[Jake] Let me go ask.
All right, bye-bye.
[coughing]
[Jake] Chino, can you move
your, your fingers and your toes okay?
[man speaking]
[producer speaking]
[Jake speaking]
[Jake] [bleep] scary because we're so far out here.
I'm headed for town.
You wanna go get checked out, we go get checked out.
[Chino speaking]
[Jake] Okay.
[Jake] We're headed to Dutch Harbor right now as fast as we can.
It's gonna cost a lot of money, but that doesn't matter
when it comes to our people.
Even if we get to the clinic
and he doesn't need anything at all, doesn't matter to me.
Just knowing that he's taken care of
and he knows he's taken care of.
That's-- I can sleep really well at night knowing that.
I just hope he's okay.
[narrator] One hundred fourteen miles north on the Wizard.
[Monte] We're on a string over here by the boundary line.
The fence, as it's known,
it's a little short 12 potter.
[man] Here we go.
[Monte] Talked to Sig and we got a little information out of him.
But he didn't mention contoured bands,
which is important because, you know,
you find these crab in those depths.
I trust Sig because I think he's trying to help.
Not just really me, but, you know, help my brother.
I know my brother doesn't.
But we've got a ways to go here.
Yeah, we'll take any information we can get.
I'm really just, kind of, looking for some sign.
Who knows. Could be freaking loaded.
It could go either way.
Loaded sounds good.
We need 8,800 carbs.
Come on, baby. Let's get a couple here.
[indistinct shouting]
[narrator] On the Wizard...
Come on, baby. Let's get a couple here.
Yeah!
[cheers]
[man speaking indistinctly]
There's some numbers here.
[man speaking]
Right on, five-seven.
[Monte] You know, we're seeing some signs
and, you know, some biomass.
[man cheers]
So we've got that going for us.
[man] Pretty good pot.
Every one counts.
Seven-four. 74.
[Monte] Maybe we're finally getting lucky.
[cheers]
We're gonna keep this, this little string.
Set some gear on what we're seeing.
You know, my brother, with his medical issues,
he's not out of the woods by any means.
He's got a ton of testing he has to do
and you know, they're not really sure of what happened.
So I'm a little nervous about that.
[doctor speaking]
[Keith sighs in relief]
I'm still a little confused as to what actually happened.
[doctor speaking]
-So more tests? -[doctor speaking]
-[digital beeping] -[Keith] Yeah, thanks, doc.
[sighs]
Well...
I've got another doctor to go see, a specialist.
But, you know, after that, I mean, if I get the green light,
man, I'm heading right back out to the boat.
I just-- You know, I just want to get back to that boat
as quick as I can.
[narrator] Seven hundred thirty miles southwest...
Yellow, one mile, one mile.
[narrator] On the Aleutian Lady...
[Rick] So we're getting close.
We'll run up, do one more pass
and try to get another pick through this area.
That would be exactly what we need
to get some good poundage on this boat.
[Vasily speaking]
[Jacob] I do the dishes.
You're sleeping when I'm doing dishes.
[Vasily speaking]
[Jacob speaking]
Well, maybe you shouldn't have [bleep] earplugs in.
So you can hear next to alarm going off.
Go and make sure everything's safe on the boat.
[Vasily continues speaking]
Shut the [bleep] up, Vasily.
Nobody cares what you're saying.
[Vasily speaking]
[Jacob] Shut up, Vasily, you sick [bleep].
[Rick] Hey, guys, knock it off.
It's not that hard.
[indistinct shouting]
Enough is enough.
-What? -Wanna file for sexual harassment.
Wait, what?
-With a little [bleep]. -[Rick] What's going on?
Oh, he is walking around naked with his [bleep] hanging.
So I don't wanna see it, sir.
-He is? -Yeah.
They told me it's going to happen on this trip.
I told him if it happens, I'm leaving the boat.
It's called sexual harassment.
[Rick] He is.
[Vasily speaking]
Is he walking around naked?
Jacob, can you come up here?
[Jacob speaking]
[Rick] I can't have this.
If you wanna be a captain someday, put your dong--
[Jacob] No, that was afterwards.
Vasily is yelling, yelling the N-word!
Okay, but were you walking around naked?
Walk me through what happened.
[Jacob] He's been calling me a monkey
and making monkey noises all day.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm dead-ass serious.
Then he yelled the N-word very, very loud.
He told me he was talking about me.
So I showed him my big black penis.
I think that punishment fits the crime.
-Dumbass. -Ask everybody in the galley right now.
They're all like, what the [bleep] is this guy's deal?
I need everybody in the wheelhouse.
Where is Vasily? Is he coming?
No, he said he doesn't--
He's not coming up.
[Jacob speaking]
He screamed at the top of his lungs,
the N-word.
And then when Jacob--
He saw Jacob, he's like, "That was meant for you."
[Vasily speaking] Has nothing to do with Black skin color.
If you act like one, I'm gonna call you one.
[Noah speaking]
[Jacob] And it slid and hit him.
You know, I'm a dumb inbred Mexican.
And now he's verbally assaulting you two racially.
I mean, for any one person
to act how he's acting, it's not okay.
All right, you guys. I'm not gonna have this go on.
I'm not not gonna put up with it anymore.
Noah, can you watch it here for a minute?
-Yeah. -I'm gonna go down and chat.
[Sig] Keith, he's got to bring it down a notch.
He ain't 25 years old anymore.
It's time to come to the realization that you,
you know, can't go, go, go all the time.
[Sig speaking]
[laughing] I want him in a yoga class.
Or one of those,
what do you do, what do you do, what do you do--
You do the incense and the om, you know?
What do you call those?
-[Monte speaking] -Meditation class! Put him in one of those.
Right. Find your, find your inner self.
[laughs heartily]
[narrator] A crab captain and a downward dog pose?
That's funny.
[narrator] On the Aleutian Lady...
[Vasily speaking]
[Rick] You've called him the N-word multiple times.
[Vasily speaking]
I need you to stay in your rack and I'll deal
with everything downstairs
and I'm gonna have to find out what the hell we're doing.
[Vasily speaking]
-[Rick] I will. -[Vasily speaking]
[Rick] Vasily is confined to his quarters.
I don't need him on my boat.
He is completely done.
We're bringing him to Dutch.
If I'm gonna try to secure
a better future for this company,
I gotta do what's best for it.
[narrator] One hundred forty miles south...
[Jake] Permission to tie up at the light cargo dock?
[man over radio]
All righty. Thank you.
Back to 16014.
I'll get Chino medical help
and just make sure he's okay.
-[man exclaiming indistinctly] -[Jake] Pot hit him in the head.
So I wanna make sure that
he's safe emotionally and physically.
Chino.
[Jake] He's my employee. I care about him.
-Hey. -What the hell is doing here?
[Rick] All right, let's get out of here.
Have you ever thought about looking
at a class about racial sensitivity.
[Vasily] No. I have zero tolerance for idiots.
Everybody on the boat is offended by what you said.
Okay. Great. About what?
The words you used in today's society...
[Vasily] Yeah, I don't care.
-...you won't have... -[Vasily] That's the truth.
You won't have a job in any other company.
[Vasily] Oh, great, great.
I only work for boats that don't hire idiots.
If you have idiots on the boat,
we usually fire them.
I came to town 'cause we can't stand you on the boat.
We don't want you there.
-Okay. -I wasted thousands of dollars to come to get you off my boat
'cause I do not trust you,
-and I don't want you on my boat. -Okay.
And it's bull [bleep] the fact that you verbally...
-What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? -...and racially assaulted...
-Okay. Can you pull over. -...multiple...
-Can you pull over? -I'm talking.
And I'll just drop your ass off here and you can walk.
[Vasily] That's-- That would be nice. Yeah, nice.
Good luck with that.
[Rick] Peace out, dude. Hope you have a good life.
[Vasily] I have a great life.
Oh, my gosh, the guy is the biggest idiot.
[laughs]
In Dutch harbor, I have a house and I have a garage.
And, like, three vehicles.
Good luck to all the losers.
I gotta put my stuff in the garage.
[cheering]
[man over pa] Seventy seven with a lime wedge.
77, I'll take it.
[cell phone ringing]
-Hello, how are you? -[Keith speaking]
So what's up?
[Keith speaking]
[Monte] Exactly.
You know? I mean, of course you wanna have him
go in and hear 'em say, "You're fine.
Do whatever you want."
But that's not what they do unless you are 100% fine
and apparently you probably are not, unfortunately.
[Keith speaking]
[cheering]
[Monte] Those bands that Sig recommended came back pretty strong.
[man speaking]
-7-0. -[Monte] Maybe we were due for a shot of luck out here,
but that's exactly what happened.
[Keith speaking]
[Monte] Okay.
I'm gonna let you go.
[Keith speaking]
[Monte] My brother, thank God he's doing all right.
We're thinking about him and you know we miss him, man.
It's been a tough year.
But knowing that he's, that he's all right,
we're gonna really have to concentrate on getting this crab caught.
It's time to press on here.
