Riding the Typhoon 🌊 Deadliest Catch | Discovery

What the—?
I got no rudder response.
Sleeping.
I got… I got nothing.
We have fun.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah. Everything’s fine.
Wait. Kate just smashed his hand in the door. Hold on one second.
What?
Yeah. Kate just smashed his hand in the door. Hold on.
Stay away from the rail. I just lost my steering.
What the—?
So, we’re just starting to get more wind on the side of Typhoon Kong Ray.
We’re going to get our ass kicked here.
Not so good.
Yeah, that’s what we’re looking for.
Don’t overdrive. You just let the waves push you over.
Yeah, baby.
You got it. And that’s perfect.
Oh, here we go.
Nice work, Bob.
I can’t breathe.
[Applause]
Last one in the block.
[Music]
We’ll take this gear and we’ll switch it over northwest and we’ll set with the weather.
Lucian Lady. American Lady.
Lucian Lady, got you here.
My deckhand split his head open right to the bone. Looking for some supplies.
Hey Todd, you got me on here?
Yeah, Ricky, I got you.
We’re too far from town to be running toward the clinic.
Yeah, Rod…
We’re too east of you now. If you zoom out, you’ll see us.
Yeah, he is wrong direction. That is not good.
What’s it looking like?
I mean, they’re a good 12 hours, maybe 16 hours away from us.
Yeah. Hey Todd, I’m going to head towards you. I’ll go full speed, but I need you to head towards us, too.
Roger that. Thanks, Rick.
You finally find out where the crab are and they’re going to keep moving.
We’re going to lose them.
All right, guys. Got to make a turn. It’s going to get rough.
Roger.
Having this gear on deck is really going to hurt.
What if we dump the gear off on the way over?
Going full speed in this kind of weather…
It’s not going to be fun.
What if we just set gear as the guys are ready, and screw setting them 2/10 of a mile apart?
You know… set them half a mile apart or whenever the guys are ready to get them off the boat.
I mean, we’re in roughly the same depth. You think it’s a good idea?
No, I think it’s a **** idea, but we’re going to do it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It’s getting out now.
And I think it’s only progressively getting worse.
Watch out. Watch out.
Oh.
Oh yeah, baby. Yeah.
Are you okay?
Everybody okay out there?
Roger.
Yeah. Hey guys, uh change of plans real quick. We’re going to sling these things off as we’re running over to the American Lady.
Meet up with the boat, drop off the medical supplies.
So just keep your heads on a swivel. When y’all are ready, we’ll start dumping.
Yeah. Roger.
Bob had the idea to swing these pots off on the way.
It’s not going to be fun.
Heads on a swivel, guys.
These are going to be the kind of waves that hurt people and break things.
So we’re going to have to be ultra careful.
Oh, here comes a good one.
Whoa, look out.
Watch your rail. Watch your rail. Watch your rail.
[Music]
Holy—
Look out. Look out. Look out.
Whoa. There’s a big one.
Oh, holy—
Yeah, she’s starting to get a bit nautical.
It’s just going to continue to build.
Falling over.
Whoa.
Holy—
Woo.
Over.
Oh, wow.
Real—
Whoa.
I need to get these pots off the boat.
And hopefully turn our night around and have it start going a little bit smooth, because it’s been everything but.
Another boat out here—his crew was at the rail, got wiped out by a wave, and got a big gash on his head.
We’re going to stock them up so they have everything they need.
Staples, stitches, glue, butterflies, gauze, lidocaine.
[Music]
There they are. There they are.
Oh, nice Lady.
Yeah, Raj, I got you, man. You want to fall in behind me and I’ll just slow down?
All right.
Yeah, I think that sounds great. That way I can just come up on it slow.
Roger that.
Here she goes.
All right, let her go.
Let her go.
Here we go.
She’s away.
She’s in. She’s in.
There it is. There’s the hook.
They missed. They missed.
Pretty sure that’s a miss and a spin.
There’s the bags. I see them. They’re still in the water.
They get it by their stern.
[Music]
You got her.
Damn. Got it.
Yeah, we got it, man. Nice work, guys.
Yeah, we got the package on board.
Sorry we had to drag you off this far away from your gear there, Reck.
Yeah, Bob had the idea to swing these pots off on the way over to you.
So it was ugly as hell, but maybe we’ll have something in them.
Like a chip off the old block. I knew her dad.
You mind?
Hey, Todd.
Hey, Sophia.
Don’t leave me hanging like that.
Can you tell me a story right now?
Yeah, I went to high school with Gary.
I was a senior. I think he was a freshman then.
We were both kind of into cars.
We used to always go out to Buskin Straightaway and race out there.
We all had fun until the Coast Guard would come out with their loud hailers and say,
“Okay, guys, it’s time to get out of here.”
We thought we were pretty cool.
He was a hard worker.
Heard good things about you.
I know you’re going to do well.
Yeah. Thanks, Todd. I really appreciate that.
Can’t thank you enough.
Those are some good stories.
I appreciate a good story.
That’s kind of all I got left now.
Normally, if you do a good deed, karma kind of pays you back.
Let’s hope this happens now.
Absolutely.
Find out in a couple more hours if there’s anything in these pots.
It’s nasty out.
Aiden’s birthday’s going okay?
Yep, it’s going just fine.
I’m sitting up with the weather on the side. 20-foot seas.
I’m so sorry I’m not there.
That’s okay.
I didn’t cover the ground I wanted to cover.
Well, here goes nothing.
First pot of the string.
Good luck.
Here we go.
If I don’t get this crab to the dock soon, we’re all screwed.
We bomb coming up.
Oh, come on. Let me see it.
What have we got? What have we got?
[Music]
There’s some life.
[Applause]
[Music]
Boom. Shaka-laka.
Yeah, baby.
I’m having a hell of a time trying to fight to just keep the boat straight.
All the while I have my wife and my son’s birthday going on right now, so they’re hearing all that.
Get all— go. Damn it.
[Music]
What’s going on there?
It’s big seas. 20-footers.
That’s sketchy.
Got it.
Get out of the way.
It’s getting really difficult and this weather is not cooperating.
What the—?
I got no rudder response.
I got… I got nothing.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah. Everything’s fine.
Wait. Kate just smashed his hand in the door.
Hold on one second.
What?
Yeah. Kate just smashed his hand in the door. Hold on.
Stay away from the rail.
I just lost my steering.
What—the steering is out?
Is everything okay?
The door closed and crunched right on his knuckle.
Then at the same time, we lost our air.
So I had no throttles.
I’m sitting with the weather on the side. 20-foot seas.
Felipe is going to be my eyes and ears and tell me what’s going on.
Where is he? Can I see him?
Nothing’s broken.
Hey, Dad wants to see your hand.
Hey, let me see, buddy. I’m so sorry.
We’ve got him bandaged up because his knuckles are sore.
We’re getting beat up out here too, buddy.
Did you get it fixed?
Good. Close the ball now.
So we have throttles.
Now, can I fix the leak?
[Music]
Damn it.
It was an air hose that blew.
I was just driving and then just lost everything.
Felipe heard it and he ran.
I better get off the phone.
I’ll call after the string.
Okay. I love you.
I love you, too.
[Music]
I’m not just a captain. I’m a father and a husband.
My wife is basically a single parent.
[Music]
I’m trying to be positive, I’m trying to be upbeat.
I’m trying to do all the things you’re supposed to do.
And I have to try to get my vessel fixed.
We have a long way to go before offloading.
Come on, Grabbies.
All right. Got to be careful.
I just got to go slow. Maintain.
[Music]
Heal the room.
We got a flat tank, guys.
Run. Run and hide real quick.
Give me a second.
We got problems. Code red right now.
A slack tank means the pump’s not running.
The water goes down. It starts going like this—
and it’s just like a washing machine.
[Music]
You need to turn a little bit and go into it.
We can capsize.
If you don’t get in your survival suits and your life raft, you’re dead.
Snip.
Knock on wood.
I think hot electrical wire here.
You just got to really watch it.
I think we found the problem.
Take the wire, arc it out. Throw the breaker.
Got the crab up running again.
There it goes.
I smell something hot down there.
Like electrical.
Yeah, it shorts out. Then it blows breaker.
That’s what breakers are for.
Opened up the cover and there’s wires burnt.
Thank God I got you, Neil.
Always fun.
I’ll keep hauling gear then.
Coming up, guys. We almost got this.
All right, Freddy. Here we go, man.
Been lucky out here.
We got angels flying behind us.
Whatever it takes.
We got our steering back, so we’re okay.
Now we’ll get back to fishing.
Let’s go.
Hey.
Hey. How’s it going?
Oh my God, it’s loaded.
Show me.
Look at this thing.
Yeah, guys, thank you for sticking it out.
Go get him, Tiger.
Let’s see what we get.
[Music]
That’s what we’re here for.
Boys…
Those are big.
Hell yeah. Let’s do this.
Crab count: 88.
Was that 88?
88, baby.
Hell yeah.
Let’s keep it going.
Woohoo.
Bob.
What?
Nice work.
You found him.
