Best of Season 20 | Deadliest Catch | Discovery
You know, this is going to make or break us right now
because we guarantee to catch double our quota.
Way too much rides on this.
Uh… kind of don’t even want to watch.
Big money.
Big money.
Big money.
Come on, daddy.
Throw me that crab.
Boom.
Woohoo.
Yeah, baby.
Yes.
Montgomery, you still on the line?
I am.
Good afternoon.
I have Dr. Nolan.
He’s our duty flight surgeon for you.
Okay.
Thank you.
[Music]
Okay. Feeling all right?
Yeah.
You doing okay?
Besides being cold, he was down in his stateroom
and he went to use the head
and he had some sort of… other spill.
So I… I don’t know.
That’s concerning.
And now he just came out
and he told me,
“Stand by one second. Break.”
Go ahead, Cody.
Yeah, he’s… uh…
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,
he’s experiencing chills,
which the doctor didn’t know about.
They just started.
But he did mention that maybe not being good.
How does he look?
Like… how’s his skin color?
Does he look pale?
Is he dry, or is he kind of clammy?
Well… I… I couldn’t tell you.
I’d have to go down and see him
if you want to give me a minute.
Okay, sure.
Okay, stand by.
How are you feeling now, bro?
Are you cold?
I’m freaking really cold.
Okay, well that’s not good.
I’m totally good.
Being really cold is not good.
The doctor said clammy is not good.
Cold chills are not good.
Hey, Tyler, can you come down please?
Okay, we got to take your blood pressure, bro.
Unfortunately we’re going to be bugging you
on a regular basis with this.
Beep for us.
I would like to see you sleeping on your side.
Okay, I sleep on my side.
Okay. See this?
See this?
Left hook.
I’m good to go.
Hey Randy, don’t film this.
I’m worried about your health here, Keith.
I ain’t the other mother.
That’s right.
Let’s just not even think about the other mother.
Let’s think about—
Well, I do, because I gotta worry about—
Okay, here goes your blood pressure again.
Go to your happy place.
Think about a Grateful Dead show,
or some chick,
or something pleasant.
Okay, I’m totally good.
I just don’t like the idea of a meat wagon, man.
I know you don’t.
Nobody does, bro.
Settle down.
Just try to relax.
I am good.
Look, I’m staying.
I’m totally good.
So… that’s it.
Whoa.
150 over 120.
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.
Okay.
So he’s got the chills.
His skin color looks pretty normal to me.
He’s not like clammy or anything.
Understood, sir.
Okay.
So now let me give you his blood pressure.
150 over 120.
So I would say a mini stroke.
An early stroke.
It could mean he had a TIA,
a transient ischemic attack.
We won’t really know for a while.
Makes sense.
Yep.
Okay.
Hey, we’ll be here if you’ve got any questions.
Okay.
All right.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Right.
Coming in here knowing this harbor
is going to be a challenge.
Sketchy getting in there to start with, huh?
Exactly.
So I don’t know.
We’re going to have to get here
and take a look at it.
Maybe wait a couple hours.
I don’t know.
Obviously you’ve got to get in the harbor,
but when you can’t go in there,
it’s gotta be catastrophic.
From the moment we all woke up,
the deck fell off.
On the Illusion Lady—
Jacob, I love the hell out of you,
but you left human fecal matter
in a working space,
which is not okay.
I get you had to do it.
You needed to take care of it.
I mean, we’re a family on this boat.
We all work our asses off
and we’re trying our best
to do what we gotta do.
We’re almost done.
Just get on the same page.
Put our issues behind us.
I’m hoping we can get our gear dialed in,
and if it happens,
we’re going to actually make some good money.
Let’s just bring it in,
get it done as a team,
and kick some ass, you guys.
Roger that.
All right, let’s rock and roll.
Now let’s just get this done.
I need to fill this boat up
as quick as we can.
I can’t afford to be messing around anymore.
So we got the last one coming up.
Here we go.
Don’t miss—
Got him.
Good job, you’re going to look mad—
Oh, he missed.
Oh, he missed you.
He pulled it in too bad.
Yeah.
[Applause]
Who’s the big boy?
I’m a big boy now.
[Music] [Applause]
Finally get down to the wire
and then get him in the last lap, you know.
Seems like he’s got our number.
[Applause] [Music]
That’s a way to end the season for sure.
Bam.
Well… that’s not a big enough one.
Okay, you guys ready for this?
So you put in 62,486 lb—
about an extra 100 grand for the boat.
So you all split.
That’s 30% goes to the crew.
So you all made a little over 40 grand each.
[Music]
Merry Christmas.
Go have Christmas with your friends.
Let’s go to Homer.
[Applause]
That turned out really well.
So I would never go anywhere
without my brother Neil.
Next step is go home, have Christmas,
come back up,
and go fishing.
All right, first pot.
You know, this is going to make or break us right now
because we guarantee to catch double our quota.
Way too much rides on this.
Uh… kind of don’t even want to watch.
Big money.
Big money.
Big money.
Come on, daddy.
Throw me that crab.
Boom.
Woohoo.
Yeah, baby.
Yes.
This is how you fill a tank.
This is how you finish the season right here.
Count 82.
Come on.
Keep it coming.
Keep it coming.
Guys are kicking ass out there.
They’re working their butts off.
Oh yeah, there it is.
We needed this.
Oh, thank you, Lord.
Yeah.
Woo.
Landon has got us on the fair eye right now.
Numbers are good.
He’s doing a good job for sure.
On the Seabrook—
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Watch out.
Watch out.
Hey, watch out.
Watch out.
Hey, is everybody okay down there?
We’re good.
I got thumbs up.
Yeah.
Bob is behind the wheel, boys.
Watch your bacon.
It’s pretty nasty out.
You got to get that timing down a little bit better.
It’s intense.
It’s nerve-wracking.
I’m shaking.
I’m shookth.
Just pay attention.
You’re doing great.
I’ll just straighten out
’cause the pot is right there into the weather.
Involved with a little bit of the weather at first,
but actually doing pretty good.
Pretty smooth so far.
We still have about 2,000 crab
that we need to catch today,
and waves are stacking up
and it’s crunch time.
Just going to try
to keep everybody safe,
you know, stay vigilant,
and finish strong.
100 miles northeast
on the Illusion Lady.
Now I’m battling wind.
I’m battling the waves.
I’m battling the current.
And we’ve got a four-man deck.
Nico’s hurting.
So it’s just kind of
the culmination of all of it.
It’s making these sets
kind of complex.
Well, we don’t have anything
this deep yet.
We’re going to get these pots set off.
It’s not smooth out there.
Oh, man.
We are a man down.
Nico’s inside
resting up his ankle and foot
after being washed about the deck.
I don’t feel good
going a four-man deck
with those four guys
after what happened with Nico.
Being down a guy
is going to hinder us.
I’m not injured.
We’re all in pain.
Nobody’s really had much sleep.
Hey guys, last pot.
Roger.
All right, make sure everything’s square
and then give me a shout
when you guys go inside.
Well, we got the pots off the boat.
Hopefully Nico can come out tomorrow
and kick some ass.
If I have any chance
of getting this quota we need,
I need him out there.
All right, bro.
How you doing, man?
A lot better than I was.
Yeah, it is.
It’s still bruised.
How’s the pain level?
Uh… it’s not too bad,
enough that if I put pressure
on certain parts of my foot,
I feel the pain.
Let’s keep letting it heal,
since once we start stacking out
and in the bad weather,
I’m going to need you.
All right, man.
All right, dude.
Let’s do this.
[Music]
Reassess in the morning
how Nico’s foot’s feeling.
I need him out on deck.
50 miles southwest.
Today is the 2nd.
Okay, good.
Today is officially
the second of November
on the Time Bandit.
She’s—
she’s two days off on her phone.
What?
Got two days
till our anniversary, honey.
What?
Yep.
I got some reservations for us
for anniversary.
Some wining and dining.
Get off the boat,
sneak away,
take care of my baby.
You’re the best.
Yep.
36 hours after his team of Time Bandits
turned back every clock on board,
Captain Jonathan has a deadline.
We’re getting close.
We need like a 31 average.
Captain Jonathan looks
to close the loop
on his anniversary set
and stuff his tanks
with 10,000 pounds of Red King
before pointing his bow
toward Dutch Harbor.
Here it comes.
There we go.
That’s a good one.
That’s a good one.
Yeah, baby.
Big boy.
I like that one.
Got the next pot coming up.
[Music]
Oh yeah.
That’s gotta be—
Yeah, baby.
Come on.
Keep it coming.
See that bomb?
Gotta be plus 50 in that one.
Like it.
[Music]
Yeah, baby.
Doing really well.
I’m going to make it
on my anniversary.
I love you, Heather.
On the Northwestern—
Port, park port.
Come on, girl.
Oh, we’re going to split it.
Port.
Keep going.
Here.
She’s coming.
Okay, we’re right on it.
Okay, come on, man.
There’s a reason
this wheelhouse went out the window
a long time ago.
Are you hard over?
Not hard over yet.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Starboard.
Yeah, I’m starboard.
More.
Four.
Four, four, four, four.
Next pot’s right there.
You should be swinging
to starboard now.
He’s a big one.
That’s what I’m talking about.
So we got the last one
coming up here.
How’s your arms?
Oh, they’re dead.
Dead.
Woo!
You hit it.
He got it.
He got it.
Last one.
Yeah, baby.
That was a little more intense
than I thought.
That’s not easy.
Got him.
Hey.
Oh yeah.
There we go.
How many?
50.
You— 55.
55 crab.
It’s better than a poke in the eye.
Now the only issue
is to get the boat to shore.
Well, you got the last coordinates
of that last pot.
We should just start from there.
I know.
I know.
But do we want to go to St. Paul
or do you want to go to town?
That’s the whole thing.
I’d say we try to go to Dutch.
From this position
we are about 100 miles—
or something 120.
I don’t—
What was the live moment?
Here, we’re right on that border.
This was the lowest string we had.
So it’s basically—
Well, I mean, it’s pretty simple.
If you square that up,
depending on the current,
it puts you right in between
Akutan and Dutch.
We do have a magnetic compass,
but we don’t know
how much drift you’re going to have
with currents and all that.
I don’t want to be lost at sea.
Depends on the tide.
Hopefully we don’t get set too far,
but we won’t know
until we get to the—
We’re going to find out.
28 miles east
aboard the Time Bandit.
First pot.
[Music]
We only got two more days
for this trip.
You got to get
at least a 10 or 15 average.
[Music]
This is where all the whales are.
About 215 fathoms.
210.
Yes.
Baby.
Come on, Krabbies.
Come on, Krabby.
Krabby, Krabbies.
I have a feeling
this is going to be good.
I don’t know why.
I said, “Don’t jinx us.
Don’t jinx us, John.”
I should have never said that.
I should have never said that.
Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
Give us more.
Yeah, baby.
Look at that.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Jackpot, baby.
[Applause]
This is huge.
I love this.
[Music]
This is a haul.
This is what you pray for
all season long.
Big numbers.
Big weight.
Big money.
Every pot a winner.
Every throw a payday.
Come on, keep it rolling.
Keep it rolling.
Oh man…
look at that.
That’s what I’m talking about.
That’s the stuff right there.
Those are big.
Those are real big.
We are stacking it up now.
Just stacking it up.
Yeah, baby.
Yeah.
This is how you close it out.
This is how you finish strong.
End of the season
and the crew is still swinging.
Still grinding.
Still hungry.
Come on, boys.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
Let’s go.
Let’s go.
The dust settles…
but the fear does not.
Down in the dark,
the crew edges forward,
each bootstep echoing like it’s walking across the ribcage of the earth itself.
Parker raises his light.
The beam cuts through the drifting haze…
and lands on something impossible.
A cavity.
Perfectly rounded.
Too smooth…
too deliberate…
to be made by nature.
Mitch whispers,
voice trembling,
“That’s not a collapse… that’s a chamber.”
A low hum trembles through the ground,
like a distant engine
or something even older waking up.
The men freeze.
Nobody breathes.
Because suddenly,
this isn’t a mine anymore.
It’s a threshold.
And whatever’s on the other side of that chamber…
didn’t come from gold.
The radios crackle—
a harsh burst of static,
followed by a noise none of them recognize.
Not wind.
Not machinery.
Not anything alive
that should be down there.
Parker grips the handset.
“Crew One to surface… do you copy?”
Nothing.
Just that same pulsing distortion,
rising and falling like a heartbeat
coming through a broken speaker.
Then—
a dull thud behind them.
Kevin spins,
light sweeping across twisted rock and settling dust.
But the tunnel is empty.
No falling stones.
No movement.
No explanation.
Just… the sound.
That slow, rhythmic thump
echoing from the newly exposed chamber ahead.
Parker steps closer,
jaw tight,
determination fighting with instinct.
“Alright,” he mutters.
“We’re going in.”
The crew hesitates—
because every part of this feels wrong.
But they follow.
One by one,
their shadows slip into the chamber’s mouth…
and vanish into the black.
