Short filmTranscript
00:00:01I helped my brother go fishing for a whole year. We made almost 2 million. At the end of the
00:00:06year, he only gave me 80,000. He said the boat was his, the crew was his, the buyers were
00:00:12his. All I did was steer the boat and throw out the nets.
00:00:15No real skill involved.
00:00:17I didn't say a word. Just took the money and left. I walked all the way to the end of
00:00:22the village and bought a broken down old boat. A month later, I took my own boat out for the
00:00:26first time and came back full, right next to my brother's empty one.
00:00:30He was hopping mad. He looked like he was about to explode. But I knew that was just the beginning.
00:00:36Victor, last shipment of the year. Quality's not bad. We've got the year-end figures. This is what you get.
00:00:4380,000 in total.
00:00:45350 days at sea, 50 trips, 7 days each. Never went home, barely had a real meal. Risking my life
00:00:52out there, I made my brother nearly 2 million in profit, and he only gave me 80,000.
00:00:56This year's net profit is 1.98 million, but repairs and fuel paying off the middlemen, that all costs money.
00:01:0380,000 is already plenty. Besides, all you do is steer and throw nets. If it weren't for me, with
00:01:08the way you are, you'd probably be unemployed.
00:01:11Hearing that, I didn't feel a thing. Last year, my parents signed the boat over to him. I worked day
00:01:16and night to fix it up. I used my freak hearing to find the fish and steer us out of
00:01:19trouble. I bring the skill, you bring the boat. 60-40 split.
00:01:22We're brothers. I wouldn't cheat you. Victor, it's your boat. You call the shots. Leo, we'll have more orders next
00:01:31year. Keep it up. I'll cut you a bigger share.
00:01:34I got off the boat without looking back. Without me handling the risks, his junk boat wouldn't even survive a
00:01:38big storm, let alone catch anything. I didn't go home.
00:01:41I was afraid relatives would ask how much my brother gave me, and even more afraid my parents would blame
00:01:46me. They always take his side. They'd think 80,000 was already generous.
00:01:50I followed the coast all the way to the end of the village and saw George's old boat abandoned for
00:01:54years. He said all I do is steer and throw nets. No real skill. Well, I'll show him whether fishing
00:01:59takes skill or not.
00:02:01George, are you home?
00:02:04Oh, Leo! What brings you here?
00:02:06George, I was wondering, could you sell me that boat outside?
00:02:09That boat's been abandoned for years. The hull's cracked. It's not usable.
00:02:14That's fine. If you don't need it, sell it to me. Just name your price.
00:02:19Well, I don't know.
00:02:21I've got 80,000 here. I can give you 50 now, and keep 30 for repairs and fishing gear.
00:02:27Soon as I sell what I catch, you'll get 50,000 more.
00:02:3050,000?
00:02:31Does that work for you?
00:02:32I can sell it to you. But if that boat gives you trouble, that's on you, not me.
00:02:37Don't worry. We'll sign a contract, black and white. Whatever happens, you're not responsible.
00:02:43Got the keys. I ran over to the boat. I was so excited. It was about 60 feet long. Could
00:02:48hold up to 20 tons of fish.
00:02:50The sky blue paint was mostly gone. I climbed aboard. The deck planks were all warped, with dried up seaweed
00:02:55and broken shells stuck in the cracks.
00:02:57A few windows on the bridge were smashed. I turned toward the stone. The net hauler was rusted solid.
00:03:03When the villagers heard I had bought this wreck, they all came over to laugh at me.
00:03:06Did Leo lose his mind? That thing's only good for scrap. You can't do anything with it.
00:03:11His brother gave him 80 grand. Instead of saving to get married, he blew it all on this junker.
00:03:17Get married? A guy with ears like a wild animal? No girl's gonna look twice at him.
00:03:23I've seen him hanging around the widow next door. You think he's...
00:03:28I didn't explain, just kept measuring. The steel hull is badly rusted, but the main ribs were still thick enough.
00:03:35Corrosion is under one third, still usable. The keel had a patch on it, but it could still handle the
00:03:41stress.
00:03:41No need to replace it. The engine needs a major overhaul.
00:03:44The net hauler has to go. The deck needs replanking. The wheelhouse windows need replacing.
00:03:48That night, after all the gawkers cleared out, I grabbed my tools and the supplies I bought by day, and
00:03:54started working on the boat.
00:03:56First, the barnacles had to go. They're harder to scrape than concrete.
00:03:59Where they cling, is where rust hides. If you don't clean it off, new paint won't stop the rock.
00:04:04For half a month straight, I worked nights. I bought supplies by day, and patched the hull at night.
00:04:09I realigned the keel, swapped the engine, and replaced the deck in glass.
00:04:13Then on the morning of the 16th day, something amazing happened.
00:04:18When I sprayed on the registration number, I knew I finally had the first boat of my life.
00:04:23Right as I was about to cover it with a tarp.
00:04:27My phone rang. It was my brother.
00:04:30Leo, still messing around with that pile of junk?
00:04:32What do you want?
00:04:33Are you out of your mind?
00:04:34Look, I don't care about the scrap metal, but tonight's New Year's Eve. Get your butt home!
00:04:39Got it.
00:04:40That's your holiday to celebrate. All that cozy family buzz has nothing to do with me.
00:04:45I'm here fixing this boat night and day. My brother's out partying with my money.
00:04:49But it's fine. Nature has a way of paying people back. Brutal and swift. He'd find out soon enough.
00:04:54When I bought this boat, it was impulsive. Now that I've cooled off, the pressure is crashing down.
00:04:58I poured all my savings into it. I know I can't fail. I have to make it.
00:05:02Not just to get my money back, but to prove something.
00:05:04The living room lights were on. I could see shadows moving. Laughter was coming from inside.
00:05:08Those are my mom and dad. That's my sister-in-law, Lydia Young. That's my nephew and niece.
00:05:13Leo's back. Why are you just standing there?
00:05:17Uncle, dad says your ear is just like Goldie's. Can we see your animal ears?
00:05:25They never wait for me to eat. Not once. Not since I was a child.
00:05:30What are you waiting for? For the drinks?
00:05:32Yeah. You really can't read the room. Can't you see your dad and your brother's glasses are both empty?
00:05:38Pour the drinks. Serve the rice. Hold the cargo. Fix the nets. To them, that's what I was made for.
00:05:44What about yours?
00:05:45Dad must have forgotten I can't drink. Or he just never really cared.
00:05:49What a dumb mule. Needs a whip just to get him going.
00:05:52How did our family end up with a useless loser like you?
00:05:56Dad, you don't have to say that. He's working with me now. That's good, right?
00:06:00Victor, you made good money fishing this year, huh?
00:06:03Net profit this year is $1.98 million. Got a new car. Gonna fix up the house a little too.
00:06:09How much did you give your brother?
00:06:12$80,000.
00:06:15$80,000? That's not bad. Money's hard to make these days.
00:06:19His food and housing are on you. That's $80,000 in hand. More than a lot of white-collar workers
00:06:25make.
00:06:25Okay. But how come I hear someone doesn't appreciate it?
00:06:31$1.98 million in profit. I went out to sea 50 times. My brother went out three times. And I
00:06:36got $80,000. And to them, that's him taking care of me. If I dare say no once, I'm the
00:06:41ungrateful one.
00:06:42Leo, you upset?
00:06:43Nope. The boat's my brother's. He handles all the buyers. I just drive the boat and throw the nets. There's
00:06:49not much skill to it. $80,000 in hand. That's plenty.
00:06:52I've practiced this so many times in my head. Because I know, the second I speak my mind, no one's
00:06:57going to try to understand me. I'll just end up more humiliated.
00:07:01That's more like it. Stick with your brother. You won't lose out.
00:07:04Not bad. Leo's growing up. He's finally learned to be grateful.
00:07:07Then why'd you buy George's old junk boat? You're not thinking of going out on your own?
00:07:13What? Leo, is that true?
00:07:17What? Leo, is that true?
00:07:19Here it comes. I knew it. This meal wasn't going to end quietly.
00:07:22That boat is my last way out. I only shot at anything.
00:07:25But right now, I can't blow things up with them.
00:07:28Owning a boat of my own. That was my dream as a kid.
00:07:31My brother gave me $80,000. So I bought a boat that doesn't even run.
00:07:35Figured I might need it someday.
00:07:37Such a waste! You could have saved that money for a wife!
00:07:40Dad, $80,000? Even with $300,000, could Leo land a wife?
00:07:44Look at that ear of his. People probably think he's a freak.
00:07:47Leo's ear really is a problem. Maybe just go to the hospital and get it cut off.
00:07:52Cut it off? They don't know this ear is how I make a living.
00:07:55It's fine. Very soon they'll find out what this freak ear can really do.
00:08:00Now there's not even money left for surgery.
00:08:02But I heard Leo and that widow Grace are pretty close, huh?
00:08:05Don't talk about her.
00:08:07Oh, now he's glaring at me.
00:08:09Leo, work hard with me next year. By the end of the year, I'll set you up with a doctor,
00:08:13get that ear fixed, then find you a proper wife.
00:08:16How about it?
00:08:17Thanks.
00:08:17That's it? Just thanks?
00:08:20Thanks. Here's to you.
00:08:24I've got several big buyers already lining up orders for Spring Yellow Croaker and Coral Grouper.
00:08:30The fifth day of the new year is a lucky day.
00:08:33We'll officially start then. First trip out, we go together. That work for you?
00:08:37No problem.
00:08:38Come on, let's all have a drink. To going big next year. Fill them up.
00:08:45Dad, bottoms up. Bottoms up.
00:08:47I just downed one, and now you're making me chug a second.
00:08:51I remember when I was a kid, people often beat me up.
00:08:54I told Dad, and Dad told me, when people pick on you, it means they respect you.
00:08:59Today, I'll play along.
00:09:08So scary! Monster! Uncle is a monster!
00:09:13So ugly! So ugly!
00:09:21Don't pick it up! Monster can't wear it!
00:09:24Oh my god! That ear! Even scarier than I thought!
00:09:30Leo! You've been hiding this really well!
00:09:33If outsiders saw this, who would still want to do business with you?
00:09:37Okay, enough. Leo, get your earmuffs on now.
00:09:40Don't scare the kids.
00:09:44We're all family! What's the big deal?
00:09:47Be glad your brother feeds you! What kind of attitude is that?
00:09:50Attitude? I don't even have the right to show how I feel.
00:09:53In this family, I've never been treated like a person.
00:09:56Just a tool.
00:09:58But soon, that tool is becoming his own boss.
00:10:00Starting on the fifth day of the new year, I'll make every one of you regret it.
00:10:08Uncle Monster is on the floor!
00:10:11Life building!
00:10:23Mom, Uncle is too scary! I don't want him here!
00:10:26You're his uncle!
00:10:27Why are you scaring the kids like that?
00:10:30You jerk! Put your earmuffs on now!
00:10:34My stomach's not feeling great.
00:10:36I'm gonna go. You guys take your time.
00:10:38You barely ate anything!
00:10:41Fine! Bad luck to have him around!
00:10:43Don't forget we start back on the fifth!
00:10:46You better go check the boat on the fourth!
00:10:47Okay. Victor!
00:10:51This family has never had a place for me.
00:10:53Is it just because I'm adopted?
00:10:55Eight years ago, my brother got married.
00:10:57I moved out of our parents' place.
00:10:59They were worried my looks would affect his chances.
00:11:02On the very edge of the village, they put up a thatched hut for me.
00:11:05Over the years, I slowly turned it into a proper house.
00:11:09This place is where I live.
00:11:22The family has never had enough time to eat and eat.
00:11:23Leo, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?
00:11:24Why don't you come eat at my place?
00:11:28Come on, I made six dishes.

00:23:23real you bet it is this trip's promising leo just you wait port five degrees b date knots go
00:23:31even charles is going out he's really going all out to help his oldest son like they say when a
00:23:37father and
00:23:37son are united there's nothing they can't do leo's boat is old and small it hasn't touched water in
00:23:43years i bet on this run victor comes back loaded and leo returns empty dad we've been going four
00:23:51hours are we there yet almost there another 20 minutes see that watercolor deep blue with a hint of
00:23:57green that's the muddy bottom underneath yellow croaker love that kind of spot that's great my clients
00:24:03mostly ask for yellow croaker slow down don't scare the fish we're here dennis adjust the heading
00:24:10southeast by six on my mark drop i can feel it already this net must be at least 200 pounds
00:24:19of
00:24:19yellow croaker bow heading northwest 15 degrees start trolling yes sir stop get ready to haul the net
00:24:33this what's this no way i remember it clearly this area used to be full of yellow croaker right dennis
00:24:40i just haul and move the fish don't ask me dad how did we end up with an empty net
00:24:45is it the wrong spot
00:24:46or did we throw it wrong what's the rush move try again stop here water's dark there are submerged rocks
00:24:58below there must be grouper groupers great coral grouper or humpback grouper both of course we're
00:25:04gonna make a killing hurry drop the net dad go adjust the boat dennis follow my hand signals okay
00:25:10adjust the casting angle this time we nail it no messing up pull
00:25:20trawling we've got something we've got something
00:25:28holy crap this has got to be a big one dad you're amazing of course back in my day in
00:25:33these waters one
00:25:34net and the grouper were so thick you needed a shovel just to scoop them into the baskets
00:25:42that's what is this rocks
00:25:47this no way i swear i felt a big one something wrong with the net
00:25:58dad you okay i think i'm getting a little seasick how is that possible he hasn't been out in seven
00:26:05years of course he's gonna be sick
00:26:13dad rest for a bit have some water victor the fishing techniques i taught you didn't you learn them
00:26:20fishing what skill do you need isn't it just throwing a net into the sea
00:26:26you caught so many yellow croakers last year and you say you don't know any technique that was all leo
00:26:32i only went out three times in total i was just messing around it looked easy when leo was fishing
00:26:37go to a spot throw the net and the fish just come up wow if fishing didn't take skill anyone
00:26:43could catch
00:26:43rare big fish ask dennis if fishing takes skill if casting a net takes skill probably but i don't know
00:26:50leo
00:26:50handled everything i just did what he said dad you mean leo leo isn't as simple as he looks i
00:26:57don't
00:26:57believe it i don't believe he can catch fish with that junk boat if it weren't for my boat and
00:27:02all my
00:27:03gear he wouldn't catch a damn thing
00:27:09let's just wait and see
00:27:16a whole day went by i still hadn't thrown a single knit hadn't caught a single fish but no rush
00:27:25found them east by southeast about two nautical miles there's a school of yellow croakers pretty
00:27:31good size too a good catch isn't something you rush you wait for it especially the big ones go too
00:27:37fast
00:27:38and the propeller noise will scare the fish away let the boat drift like a leaf slip into the sea
00:27:43without a sound spot set next up is charming this is my own secret bait mix costs me less than
00:27:5120 bucks
00:27:52but it keeps the fish around for over three hours people who use old fish and rotting shrimp only catch
00:27:57small junk fish real big fish they only go for clean smells charming is the key to landing big fish
00:28:04can't
00:28:05dump it all at once the fish will eat their fill and leave and give it bit by bit so
00:28:09the school
00:28:09thinks there's an endless supply of food then they'll stay it'll also draw and even bring more friends
00:28:14along
00:28:17the fish are coming
00:28:23this is not the time to rush throwing the net the school is forming they're on high alert once the
00:28:29net
00:28:29goes in the fish that get caught disturb the water and send out danger signals you'll lose the big
00:28:35catch for a small one one spot or rather a whole area one that is all it takes and we
00:28:40only get one
00:28:40shot that's why we say catch them all in one net it's been two hours the school has fully formed
00:28:46now
00:28:47the perfect time to fish this is the new boat's first cost i have to nail it
00:29:00almost there
00:29:14first set i got one
00:29:17next up it's my time dad it's been three days and this is all we caught
00:29:24how am i supposed to fill my orders this is so weird where are all the fish you said that
00:29:29muddy
00:29:29bottom had yellow croaker you said the reef area had grouper so where are they how is that my fault
00:29:36it's been years the sea has changed the currents have changed the fish don't stay in the same spots
00:29:41anymore even if they move you still got the skills right we've thrown over 20 nets so why is every
00:29:48single one coming up empty it must be leo you must have messed with the equipment boss we're low on
00:29:53fuel if we keep drifting we won't have enough to get back with this tiny hole you really want to
00:29:57head
00:29:58back we go back refuel and come out again that's how fishing works isn't it son let's head back first
00:30:04check the gear then head out again we left in a hurry this time i didn't even bring weights or
00:30:08floats how do we adjust the net's depth and position in the water how do we fight the current we
00:30:12don't
00:30:12even have any chum or anything you really think fishing is that simple but going back and forth
00:30:16takes days my clients can't wait relax we'll go back and finish the checks then head out right away
00:30:22we can still make it leo you really screwed me over i won't let you off it's still early let's
00:30:28turn back
00:30:28now what are they all doing there isn't that leo's boat he's back too
00:30:40looks like he just got back still setting up the gangplank they're here to laugh at him
00:30:45no doubt it's empty with that piece of junk
00:30:49he's lucky it didn't sink let's go take a look all right
00:30:58look guys victor and his dad's boat are back too
00:31:01now it's getting interesting they're about to go head to head

00:35:46mom i don't want him here we're family what's the big deal you're lucky your brother even gives you food
00:35:53don't push it leo i didn't know you were this calculating it's a family conversation and he's
00:35:59secretly recording it i recorded it to remind myself that in this family i've never been treated
00:36:05like a person leo i'll ask you once more are you giving us the fish or not i caught these
00:36:10fish with
00:36:11my own skill the boat is mine the net is mine i paid for the fuel myself why should i
00:36:16leave 200 pounds
00:36:17for victor leo all right you win i've been straight and honorable my whole life who would have thought
00:36:25i'd raise a son with no heart no gratitude who's the real ungrateful one he made 1.98 million and
00:36:32gave him 80 000 that's like throwing change at a beggar the whole family looked down on leo and
00:36:37kicked him out during new years now that he landed a catch you're using family as an excuse to guilt
00:36:42him
00:36:43that's just shameless what nonsense are you spouting
00:36:50charlie can we talk in private what's up just spit it out can i get 200 pounds of your fish
00:36:55i'll give you 10 more sure but prices are going crazy right now i'll need 30 extra you that's price
00:37:03gouging you can't say that these fish are already spoken for if i give you 200 pounds i'd be risking
00:37:09losing my long-term clients if it weren't for the sake of our folks here i wouldn't sell at all
00:37:1330
00:37:14extra means i'm losing 20 on the deal i can't do that fine you all teamed up to go after
00:37:20our victor
00:37:21huh just you wait no matter how much i'm not buying i'll catch it myself
00:37:27come on sort the fish onto the scale careful not to damage the scale
00:37:34victor what are you doing here what did leo say what an ungrateful jerk i tried talking i even begged
00:37:43he won't set any aside for you and he won't sell you really begged him thing is it was useless
00:37:49he
00:37:49doesn't care about family and the whole village saw it i've never been so embarrassed in my life damn
00:37:55leo he always looks so meek who knew he'd be this ruthless i asked charlie too he wants 30 extra
00:38:03then we'd be down 20 no way no way charlie is jacking up the price on purpose i won't let
00:38:10him

00:45:18this bait's got a strong fishy smell it spreads fast once the yellow croaker pick up the scent
00:45:23they'll think there's a dead fish school around they'll come right over
00:45:28dad nothing's happening fish aren't dumb they smell it but they still need a minute to decide
00:45:34plus it's deep you can't see much with your eyes here they come they're coming the school's formed up
00:45:40dad you still got it get ready to cast the net

00:46:53leo you think nobody else can fish when we head back open your freaking eyes and watch
00:47:02the fish here won't gather again anytime soon let's keep heading north and find a new spot okay
00:47:18stop stop dad what's going on
00:47:24irregular spots 50 meters off the bow
00:47:27edges are jagged with bumps there's a reef down there those spots could be grouper grouper that'll
00:47:34fetch big money hurry get the chum grouper aren't like yellow croaker need something smellier
00:47:39this is chopped trash fish mixed with squid guts and crab shell powder grouper love it dad you still got
00:47:44it a real old school fisherman watch and learn i can't go out with you every trip dad don't worry
00:47:51i've

00:48:38this is a basket fish also called mud skin fish stinky belly fish i remember now this fish isn't
00:48:44worth much farmed ones are actually pricier than wild because the wild ones are too tough
00:48:49five bucks a pound tops should we keep this net just toss them they'll take up space in the hold
00:48:54they might even kill the yellow croaker so was the last net just luck no this hall is the unlucky
00:49:01one dad what's going on didn't you say there were grouper down there this thing does pick up
00:49:05schools of fish but some fish look too similar it's hard to tell next time i'll dive in first i'll
00:49:10dive
00:49:10down first see what's actually there then we cast okay you got this we'll just have to try a few
00:49:15more

00:51:27there's only one way left
00:51:38i was so worried about you you're finally back where's your boat
00:51:45charles
00:51:45charles don't tell me your boat went down
00:51:50looks like it went down the boat's no big deal
00:51:53as long as you are safe good thing i told leo in time he rented a speed boat and went
00:51:58out to save
00:51:59them victor is that true the boat really sank
00:52:03leo wait a second leo look now victor's boat is gone
00:52:06a decent fishing boat costs hundreds of thousands where are we going to get that kind of money
00:52:10how about you team up with victor use your boat to go fishing together you and your brother
00:52:14go halves on the profit 50 50 60 40 then you 60 him 40. dad didn't i save your lives
00:52:20today
00:52:21you did come in time did you even say thank you uh we're family no need to be so formal
00:52:26right
00:52:26so from beginning to end you didn't thank me once leo thank you you saved us leo thank you
00:52:37are you gonna do it or not i don't owe your family anything anymore after today i definitely don't
00:52:44this isn't about owing anyone anything your brother has no boat now what do i care if he has a
00:52:50boat or
00:52:50not leo just forgive your brother this once let's go out to sea together you call your
00:52:56self my brother from now on until the day i die i'll never go fishing with you again
00:53:01is that clear enough for you
00:53:08grace sorry i made you worry i've got some soup ready come home and have some to warm up okay
00:53:19second day of the typhoon on the surface the waves are still pretty bad
00:53:23but in six hours at most the storm will pass if i wait until the sea is calm to go
00:53:28out
00:53:28it'll be too late so i'm heading out now this run means everything to me what's leo doing in a
00:53:35typhoon
00:53:35is he out of his mind they probably all think i've gone nuts for money heading out in a typhoon
00:53:40but what they don't know is fish right after a storm are the hungriest the most frantic but it only
00:53:47lasts
00:53:47half a day that's the golden window for fishing leo are you really going out now i have to
00:53:53chances like this only come a few times a year here are some brown sugar pies i made eat them
00:53:58on
00:53:59the way stay safe okay i'll come back safe i promise wait for me
00:54:12when i get back i'll give you a big surprise
00:54:24who is it what are you doing
00:54:28victor get up now
00:54:30get up for what leo went out to sea again just now the typhoon hasn't passed yet is he trying
00:54:37to
00:54:37get himself killed yeah good let him die if he dies i can actually explain things to the clients
00:54:42forget about leo for now we need to figure something out
00:54:48what else can we do now go out and source fish get as much as you can didn't we go
00:54:53source some
00:54:53yesterday we hit five places we only got about 110 pounds total 800 pounds of yellow croaker 500
00:54:59of grouper wild and alive you tell me where to get that you never should have signed that contract
00:55:03even if leo hadn't left you wouldn't have made it bullshit i did the math two trips in 10 days
00:55:09i
00:55:09definitely could have done it forget that get up now we're going out of town to buy it's a typhoon
00:55:15we can't source any around here if you're going go by yourself then just sit and wait to breach the
00:55:20contract didn't i just say that as long as leo dies at sea the contract says he's my employee
00:55:26the breach counts as force majeure and i can stall the client this is fate giving me a chance all
00:55:32we
00:55:32have to do is wait hey young get your butt up now go buy fish victor just go with your
00:55:38dad and source
00:55:39fish get whatever you can i'm not going you guys go if you want i'm in this mess because of
00:55:43leo leo is
00:55:44the kid you adopted if you hadn't adopted him back then none of this would have happened this is all
00:55:48on
00:55:48you there's only one way out now leo dies at sea you better pray for it
00:56:00charles charles
00:56:05the eye of the typhoon has passed these are just the outer bands now in another two hours it'll be
00:56:10completely calm perfect timing
00:56:24could that be a grouper chewing on coral
00:56:29jackpot 30 degrees east by southeast submerged reefs coral grouper
00:56:49coral grouper are trickier than yellow croaker the bait has to go inside the reef cracks let the
00:56:54scent slowly seep out once they smell it they think a dead fish is stuck in the rocks then they'll
00:56:59come
00:56:59out then they'll gather an hour's gone by should be about time
00:57:06so
00:57:33that's quite a hole
00:57:37around 40 coral groupers the biggest one is at least three and a half pounds this hall is
00:57:42something else this is just a warm-up the big ones come after a typhoon
00:57:54about 20 nautical miles from here at 80 meters deep there's a shipwreck zone
00:57:59i passed by last year and dove down to check it out i found signs of big ones
00:58:03but i didn't have time to look around now it's time to go take a look
00:58:21wow that's huge
00:58:24whatever it is since it's here it's not getting away
00:58:32for something this big a net would damage the scales
00:58:35and the net would get tangled in the wreck and you couldn't pull it up we can only hand line
00:58:40it
00:58:40one hook one line go head to head
00:58:57it's been over an hour did the big one slip away
00:59:04stay patient give it a minute
00:59:09here it comes
00:59:12so strong this thing is at least 150 pounds
00:59:18trying to outlast me you picked the wrong guy
00:59:29leo's been at sea for seven days he should be back by now going out to fish during a typhoon
00:59:35in a beat-up boot risking his life for money with normal fuel consumption
00:59:41he should have been back last night chances are something bad happened
00:59:52i heard victor got sued by a client bailed to deliver the fish on time if he loses the case
00:59:58he'll have to pay a few million he and his father have been waiting here since this morning
01:00:02are they worried about leo's safety no i heard their defenses that the boat sank and the crew died
01:00:09leo was victor's employee that makes it force majeure they don't have to pay
01:00:13but if if leo comes back that doesn't hold up
01:00:21it's already past noon and leo still isn't back day eight leo's got no chance
