[WAVES BREAKING]
We haven't had a nap on here in three or four days,
I don't think over 4 hours.
Today someone will be hurt on one of these boats out here.
NARRATOR: On the Time Bandit.
I'm going to town.
We have to go in tomorrow, or we'll
miss our cannery delivery date, and then
the next one is 10 days.
NARRATOR: Also battling the canneries tight schedule,
Captain Johnathan Hillstrand races
to deliver in just 56 hours or risk
10 days of dead loss waiting for the next available appointment.
[YELLING]
Too high!
[GROANS]
Dude, he's still bent over.
[BLEEP]
Hi, Joe man.
You've got to take your time.
You don't want to end up killing somebody.
I pulled the pot up over the rail on the wrong roll,
and the pot went out of control and sent
Bill flying across the deck.
It's something you've got to learn yourself.
You've just got to go with the feel of the roll
the boat and everything.
It's all about timing.
I feel like I know my [BLEEP] [INAUDIBLE]..
I don't know.
Have you ever tried to stop a [BLEEP]
800 pound piece of metal going like 20 miles an hour?
[BLEEP]
[SIGHS]
NARRATOR: 589 miles Northwest of Dutch Harbor.
Now we've got 2.2 miles [INAUDIBLE]
Yup!
Hey Patty, this is Casey on the Cornelia Marie.
A crew member, my deck boss, he's
got a lot of bright red blood in his stool this morning.
It was sudden onset, never a problem with it.
He's got a good bruise on his leg,
on the inside of the thigh, right above the knee.
OK.
All right.
Thank you very much.
NARRATOR: Captains Josh Harris and Casey McManus race to stack
out their gear from the North.
Man, it hurts to [BLEEP] move.
[GROANS]
NARRATOR: But the deck boss, who should be leading the charge,
is still benched for bloody stool.
We've had crazy weather.
First it was Matt and his leg.
Now it's Matt and blood coming out of his body.
Turn around and drop them.
Elbows on the table.
Come on, dude.
How about the leg, man.
- You could have wiped better. - I'd rather--
No, it's got to be the butt.
Little poke.
[GROANS]
Ace will be covering up 2/3 of the fishing grounds.
It's going to come down hard and fast.
Nothing ever comes easy out here.
All right.
NARRATOR: 318 miles Southeast, on the Time Bandit.
117.
Ooh.
That's power, baby!
Got one guy down right now.
Philip took a bad dive and hurt his shoulder.
He couldn't work through the pain,
so we've just got to keep going here until we're full.
When you tell the cannery you're coming in on a certain day,
you've got to do it.
NARRATOR: His nephew, Philip, on the injured reserve list,
John's remaining crew must haul with machine-like efficiency
or risk missing their offload and losing thousands
of dollars in dead loss.
[BLEEP] yeah.
Yeah.
Whew!
[BLEEP]
Eddie, are you OK?
Are you OK, Eddie?
Hey Eddie, do you want to come up here?
[BLEEP]
NARRATOR: While locking the sorting table,
deckhand Eddie Junior trips, slamming into the deck,
injuring his groin.
I'm all right.
I see you're in pain, buddy.
I'm going to put you down.
Just stay inside and don't go outside for a day.
We'll see how you feel.
But I usually can tell when one of you guys
is hurt just by the way you're walking because I know you guys
so well.
Don't worry about it.
We've got you, OK?
OK.
OK?
We've got you.
OK.
NARRATOR: 274 miles Northwest.
[BLEEP] you.
Ah man!
Damn it!
Get it over the rail.
Get the buoy over the rail.
He doesn't have the confidence in the block,
and he just hesitates.
Come on.
Keep steady here.
[BLEEP]
Help!
[BLEEP]
[SNORTS]
[INAUDIBLE]
Get out.
Get out of [INAUDIBLE] [BLEEP] Get out of the way
I got it
No.
I brought the first one right down the rail.
I don't know.
NARRATOR: As Clayton reaches for the buoy,
the line slips, pinning his hand against the steel block.
You all right?
I can't bend it.
Damn it.
Bruising.
Yeah.
In Dutch Harbor on the Time Bandit.
Can you imagine having to wait 14 more days to offload?
I would [BLEEP] hang myself.
So we made it to the dock, made it by 45 seconds to spare.
We were out at 2:00 o'clock.
We were right here.
Did pretty good.
We got another 46,000 pounds.
But our first trip didn't go as well as we planned.
Eddie and Philip are injured.
We got a call back from the clinic,
and Eddie has definitely got to go home.
Something's really wrong.
Get better.
I will buddy
I'm going to miss him dearly.
I'm waiting for Philip to get back from the clinic,
and hopefully they'll say he can stay out on the boat and fish.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Welcome back, Hillstrand.
So what's the verdict?
What'd the doctor say?
He said it's an AC separation.
It's not just a dislocated shoulder.
It's also the rotator cuff.
I smashed the bursa.
So you're just not supposed to use your arm for a while,
and you'll get better.
Yeah there's a lot more.
It's a four week injury.
Well, I'd love to have you stay and finish the trip,
finish the season.
And the four week recovery will happen right here on the boat.
I'm telling you you don't have to leave, but it's up to you.
If you want to quit, go ahead and quit.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
- I'm just going to go home. - You're just going to go home.
Yeah.
OK.
Good luck.
I love you, man.
I love you too.
I knew this was coming.
I could see it in his eyes, but, if a guy is hurt,
I'm not going to make a guy work that's hurt.
But he chooses to go home, quit, and leave the boat down a guy,
so that's his choice.
He wants to buy out and get paid.
This is a family operation.
It really hurts my feelings, so there's no cure for that.
Doctor says no cure.
Because I've got a fever.
Doctor says I've got a fever.
It's called a fishing fever, and there's
no cure for fishing fever.
I've got to go fish, and I've got to find another guy now.
Aye, aye.
