00:00Since 2004, the Southern Ocean has been the scene of fierce fighting.
00:16The trigger for this is whaling in the Antarctic.
00:21The environmental organization Sea Shepherd is trying by all means to stop the Japanese whaling fleet.
00:27The leader of the activists is Captain Paul Watson.
00:32He has made it his life's work to put an end to the bloody goings-on.
00:39The Sea Shepherds believe that Japanese whalers are violating the international whaling ban.
00:45They, in turn, claim that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:50Both parties feel they are in the right and push themselves to the limit, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:57Last time at Whale Wars.
01:03Captain Paul Watson now commands three ships.
01:09We are desperate to stop them, and there is nothing they can do about it.
01:13I don't want to throw stink bombs, I want to finish them off.
01:21Which ship is this?
01:23Shonan Maru 2
01:24He's coming right towards us.
01:27Now we are on the defensive.
01:30We have to get rid of them.
01:32We need two ships here.
01:34There is the Adige.
01:36That could make the difference.
01:37We still have a few missiles for the evil Nishin Maru.
01:48The factory ship is our main target.
01:51Get ready!
01:55This ship is just bad.
01:59Get it out!
02:00The Nishin Maru has stopped.
02:09The Nishin Maru has stopped.
02:09The Nishin Maru has stopped.
02:10Wahoo!
02:11Wahoo!
02:13See you, man.
02:14Subtitling by ZDF for funk, 2017
02:44The Bob Barker is prevented from pursuing the whaling fleet's factory ship by three harpoon ships and a sighting ship.
03:14As long as one of our ships stays with the Nishinmaru, they can't hunt. And that's exactly our plan.
03:21Ideally, the Sea Shepherds block the factory ship's slipway so that the whalers cannot bring the dead animals onto the Nishinmaru and process them.
03:33Because whale meat spoils quickly, whalers are under enormous time pressure.
03:41We knew we were too slow, so we deployed the Adi Gill to support our fleet.
03:47The Adi Gill has just stopped the Nishinmaru with a prop fouler, allowing the Bob Barker to make up ground.
04:02The Nishinmaru is traveling again at five or six knots. Apparently, it wasn't successful after all.
04:09The Nishinmaru has picked up speed again, but is currently moving slower than the Bob Barker.
04:18We don't have much fuel left, but hopefully you can do something against those guys.
04:23We did our best, but we ran out of fuel.
04:40And that's why we wanted to wait until the Steve Irwin came and refueled us.
04:46The Bob Barker must do everything in its power not to lose sight of the Nishinmaru.
04:50Therefore, Chuck Swift cannot risk stopping to refuel the Adi Gill.
04:55And the Steve Irwin will not reach Pete Bethune's crew for another three days.
05:02The boat is extremely fragile and if you drift on the water without propulsion, accidents or other problems can quickly occur.
05:12Before Pete Bethune turns off the Adi Gill's engine, he must maneuver the ship safely through the dense formation of Japanese whaling ships.
05:20Is this the Bob Barker or a whaling ship?
05:26Or is she one of them?
05:30First, they are overtaken by two harpoon boats. Then the Bob Barker passes them.
05:35At the end, the Adi Gill is passed by the third harpoon ship and the sighting ship.
05:40We let the Nishinmaru go. But behind us were four whaling ships and the Bob Barker.
05:49The first harpoon boat passed just 300 meters away from us.
05:53That was pretty scary.
06:08They are heading towards our bow.
06:11I was aware that I could make a mistake and end up immobilized in front of the harpoon ships.
06:23Pretty close.
06:40Awesome ships.
06:41They turn away in a flash.
06:49These are true marvels of technology. It's a shame they're being used for such barbaric purposes.
06:54After the first two harpoon boats have passed the Adi Gill, the men go on deck to say goodbye to their comrades on the Bob Barker.
07:15The crew on the Adi Gill did a great job. They saved our day.
07:24When I saw how much pressure the Adi Gill put on Nishinmaru, I knew she was extremely effective and might even be able to end whaling here.
07:45There is a kind of brotherhood between the people on our ships.
07:51Now it's the Bob Barker's turn to give Nishinmaru a hard time. It was very cool to see her.
08:03We should save our fuel better.
08:07Tell him to stop.
08:16Good luck!
08:17Finish them off!
08:24Well done, team!
08:28It was a good day.
08:30Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherds trusted us and we got the job done.
08:36A crazy day!
08:39Well controlled!
08:47Not exactly an easy day!
08:54Then straight towards them, we have to catch up.
08:57They're probably heading north and staying on their old course. 0-1-0.
09:08The Harpoon ship is now heading directly towards the Adi Gill.
09:14Does it follow her?
09:15The Japanese whaling fleet's sighting ship, the Shonan Maru 2, is heading directly toward the Adi Gill.
09:26This is not the first time that the reconnaissance ship has initiated an offensive maneuver.
09:33We finished them the first time.
09:35They certainly didn't like that.
09:39I'm sure of that.
09:41L-Rat!
09:44I'm so scared!
09:49See if you can get a close-up of the guy at the L-Rat.
09:53That's a rattle!
09:59All the best!
10:01Oh, wow, that's it!
10:04Oh, it is...
10:05They're driving towards her.
10:35Did they catch her?
10:43I can't recognize it.
10:47Get some binoculars.
10:51You can't see anything with the water cannons.
10:57Yes, she was hit.
11:03Is that the nose of the ship?
11:15Looks like this.
11:17The whole bug is gone.
11:21Do you see anyone?
11:25No.
11:27Oh my God.
11:35Raise the alarm.
11:37They are sinking.
11:41We need a crew out there.
11:43Where are they?
11:51Put on your jacket and let's go.
11:53You can't reach them by radio.
12:05I just thought, my God, who was in that boat?
12:09Who is floating in the water now?
12:11Who is dead?
12:17Rest a few throw lines.
12:19Fiona, put on your survival suit.
12:21And get the gangway ready to be lowered.
12:25I told Fiona, our lifeguard, to get ready.
12:33I expected the worst.
12:35That everyone went overboard.
12:39Now quick action is vital for survival.
12:43Get the crane ready.
12:47We're trying to dock alongside.
12:49The dinghy into the water.
12:51There has never been such an emergency during a Sea Shepherds mission.
12:56The crew is in shock.
12:58Adi Gale, Adi Gale, Bob Barker.
13:05Can anyone recognize the name of the ship?
13:10Moment.
13:12Number 2.
13:14Shonen Maru 2
13:16According to international law, they must respond to this distress call.
13:28Paul, this is Chuck.
13:32There has been an accident.
13:36The Shonen Maru 2 has just torn a two-meter-long piece of the bow away from the Adi Gale.
13:46Is everyone okay?
13:49I don't know yet.
13:52We are now launching an inflatable boat into the water.
13:55The whaling fleet ship does not respond by radio.
13:58We tried it several times.
13:59But they stopped.
14:04Where is the Nishin Maru?
14:07She has withdrawn.
14:09But I'm not keeping an eye on the fleet right now.
14:13There is another ship.
14:15But everyone stopped their engines.
14:22What happened?
14:23The Adi Gale was rammed.
14:25Nobody knows how bad the damage is.
14:35Shonen Maru 2
14:36According to international law, they must respond to this distress call.
14:40They're covering some crane.
14:53Must be her dinghy.
14:55The Shonen Maru 2 was very close to the Adi Gale and we had to make sure we got our dinghy into the water first.
15:06Schonen Maru 2
15:21This is the Bob Barker.
15:23We are now launching an inflatable boat to rescue the crew of the Adi Gale.
15:26If they hinder us in any way, we will defend our lives without hesitation.
15:39We sent the boats out and tried to suppress what might await us there.
15:43I thought we would find bodies.
15:45I thought we would find bodies.
15:58Every second counts.
16:00Six crew members, some of whom I know personally, may be dead.
16:14Mayday, we've been rammed and are sinking.
16:19The dinghies will be with you in five minutes. Is everyone okay?
16:25Yes, we all wear life jackets.
16:30Understood. Help is on the way.
16:33When I heard the Mayday, I was extremely relieved.
16:37I thought we were going to have to fish bodies out of the water.
16:42Are you okay?
16:45We're sinking!
16:49Schonen Maru 2. Can you hear me?
16:52We're sending out a dinghy now. Got it?
16:55We are now rescuing our crew members, whose lives they deliberately put in danger. Do you understand?
17:05I don't know.
17:08You know that very well.
17:10You are violating an international agreement. And you deliberately rammed the Adi Gill. Do you understand that?
17:15One moment.
17:17One moment.
17:18One moment.
17:30It's really a very emotional moment.
17:36Here is Shonen Maru 2.
17:44Speak up.
17:46We would assist you in the rescue.
17:50I acknowledge that. But we want you to stay where you are. If we need help, we'll let you know.
18:04Understood.
18:08The news spread like wildfire on board the Steve Irwin.
18:12Have you heard? The Shonen Maru 2 has rammed the Adi Gill. The bow is gone.
18:20If someone had been sleeping right now, they would be dead.
18:26Everyone is fine.
18:29You should be glad no one was killed. I could puke.
18:33They sank our ship and call us terrorists? The whole world should despise them.
18:52It's a shame we lost the ship so early.
18:56Luckily, the Bob Barker was there.
19:03What did they expect? There's tons of information about the boat on the internet.
19:09They knew it was made of carbon fiber and they could easily tear it in half.
19:14This will not be without consequences.
19:18But we are endangering the lives of the crew.
19:25They're waiting here to help us. But they should damn well stay where they are.
19:29Throwing stink bombs is different than tearing a boat in two.
19:34And that was 20 nautical miles offshore. That was the biggest mistake of her life.
19:42I wasn't prepared for that.
19:43After the collision, I was torn. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
19:54We looked death in the eye. It couldn't be more extreme.
19:58Nice to see you.
19:59Even if it is under such circumstances.
20:01No injuries?
20:02Only Simeon has something wrong with his ribs.
20:03Only Simeon has something wrong with his ribs.
20:05You are good.
20:06You are good.
20:07You are good.
20:08We have looked death in the eye.
20:09After the collision, I was torn.
20:11I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
20:12We looked death in the eye. It couldn't be more extreme.
20:17Nice to see you.
20:20Even if it is under such circumstances.
20:23No injuries?
20:27Only Simeon has something wrong with his ribs.
20:30Cameraman Simeon Hautmann is the only one slightly injured.
20:39How are you?
20:42My ribs hurt a little, but otherwise I'm fine.
20:48My ribs are bruised, but everyone is okay.
20:51We took cover, the water came rushing in.
20:54We never thought they would actually ram us.
20:56Shocked?
21:01Yes.
21:03We just checked to see if everyone was still on board and still alive.
21:07We were really lucky that nothing happened to anyone.
21:11I thought we were sinking. I thought that was it.
21:20That's what we thought too.
21:21I was driving and didn't see it coming.
21:22When that huge piece of steel ripped through our boat, several things went through my mind.
21:38I imagined the boat sinking and me having to swim out somehow.
21:49You realize how close you were to death.
21:53I have a little daughter and it's terrible that all of this could have been over in a second.
22:08It is still difficult to deal with these emotions.
22:12Excuse me.
22:23Is Pete still on board?
22:25Yes.
22:27He looks finished.
22:29This is his ship, his life.
22:31And after all, he is the captain.
22:32I don't think anyone can imagine what was going through Pete's mind.
22:42The ship has been his baby for the last four years.
22:45It will be tough when the captain no longer has a ship.
22:47You don't think about dying down here, but you know you're risking your life.
23:04If someone had been in the sleeping coals, they would be dead now.
23:17Suddenly you think very quickly and time seems to stand still.
23:43They came closer and closer.
23:58And suddenly the ship turned.
24:02We all realized at the same time that they were going to ram us.
24:16The impact was violent.
24:19Huge masses of water shot over the boat.
24:26It's a miracle that no one fell overboard.
24:29I thought the boat was going to sink.
24:33I thought the boat was going to sink.
24:4618 tons against 1000. Not a fair fight.
24:49you're not a leader at all.
25:11Nice to meet you. I'm glad you're doing well.
25:14I was in shock.
25:23After I came to the Bob Barker, I don't know anything anymore.
25:26Only later did I realize what had just happened.
25:44The crew members of the Adi Gill are trying to reach their relatives at home before they hear about the incident on the news.
25:58That has been my life for the last four years.
26:21I'm glad all six men are still alive.
26:28I'm glad that all two in the news are picking the three travel excerpts in the news that will be three to four years before they debut.
26:34I have chosen, ladies and gentlemen, the three dates in pain.
26:38The curls will no longer be as they were in the middle of the silence.
26:42Who has it, if they are kept in the middle of the quiet second and understand the words,
26:46they are ready beforehand.
26:47I think they felt in the middle of travel knowledge,
26:50they are inpatient before the silence.
26:55Nobody hurt?
27:02No, it's all good. At least we annoyed them a little. I'm glad I'm still alive.
27:14I can't believe it. Every half hour I realize that I no longer have a boat because it's been torn in two.
27:25Can we tow it? We'll take a look right away. Want to come along?
27:55I don't know what to say.
28:10Yes. Let's take a look at the hull.
28:22Traffic around it?
28:24Yes, if we hook it up there, it should work.
28:26Luckily we weren't a few meters ahead.
28:42I'm just glad the boys aren't hurt.
28:57If we seal the stern and the hatches, the water can drain away.
29:00I put everything I own into this boat. I took out a mortgage on 95 percent of my house and spent a year building it.
29:13But that's just money. Money doesn't make you happy.
29:16Unbelievable. They simply ripped the boat in half.
29:31How many people experience something like this?
29:33You see the harpoon ship cutting through the boat. And suddenly the form you signed doesn't seem so absurd anymore.
29:49It's like a strange dream that you're trying to wake up from.
29:58We must have had some guardian angels.
30:00They don't even have a dent.
30:16Unbelievable.
30:18If your government does nothing to stop the election catching, at least our efforts must continue.
30:24The skipper should be reported.
30:26The Steve Irwin will be here soon.
30:30Paul is probably angry.
30:32Like an elephant in a china shop.
30:38The Shonen Maru deliberately rammed them and used water cannons.
30:43The evidence is overwhelming.
30:44We have dramatic images of the Southern Ocean for you.
30:52In the small boat on the right are anti-whaling protesters. One person was injured.
30:57Now on the phone is Paul Watson, the head of the organization to which Adi Gill belongs.
31:02What happened?
31:03I'm on the Steve Irwin. We have three ships here in total. It's a miracle no one was killed.
31:16One second, Chuck.
31:20We must use this attention to document the Japanese activities. The more, the better for our efforts.
31:27A few hours after the incident, the crew members of the two remaining ships can hardly escape interview requests.
31:36The Today Show.
31:37Hello, this is Lawrence.
31:39The Bob Barker was on the starboard side. And suddenly the Shonen Maru II, one of the harpoon ships, appeared.
31:47Bob Barker, this is Peter.
31:48I was stunned. It ripped the entire bow off.
31:52He would have driven past, but then he targeted us.
32:02It quickly becomes clear.
32:07Both sides clearly deny responsibility for the accident.
32:11Japan blames the activists for the accident.
32:15Sea Shepherd's sabotage actions endangered the lives of the Japanese crew members.
32:22Therefore, they are clearly to be condemned.
32:30Marine expert Shane Kearns disagrees with this statement. He believes the activists' boat had the right of way.
32:40He has the right to maintain his course. The large ship must yield. It looks as if it deliberately ran into them.
32:47A spokesman for the Japanese Institute for Election Research disagrees.
32:54Quote
32:55The statement that Japan has violated maritime laws is not justified considering the constant attacks by these ships.
33:06And further: Japan has never intentionally rammed a ship in Antarctica.
33:11These pictures were taken from the deck of the Shonan Maru 2. They were released shortly after the collision.
33:19We collided with her.
33:30The Adigil was directly in front of us. It crossed our course.
33:34I believe in Sea Shepherd's work. It was a dream job for me to be a skipper trying to end whaling.
33:49This is simply a tragedy.
33:51You come down here and think that you will stop the election hunting.
34:02But with the loss of the boat, we probably accomplished more than we ever would have otherwise.
34:11Does someone really have to die before they stop doing this?
34:15Six hours after the crash, the Bob Barker sends the footage of the collision to her colleagues on the Steve Irwin.
34:26The crew comes together to look at the pictures together.
34:29Like an SUV versus a bicycle.
34:49They could have been dead.
34:55This year we finally had a large fleet.
34:59And now we lose a ship right at the beginning.
35:02This is pretty grueling.
35:07We had hoped that the Adigil could stop the whaling.
35:15Did they ram her?
35:19We want to harm them financially and save as many whales as possible.
35:23We successfully disrupted them, and they seemed to realize that they would not escape the Adigil.
35:34They just wanted to do anything to stop us.
35:36Eight hours after the accident, the Sea Shepherds decide to take the badly damaged Adigil to a nearby research station.
35:59But first they pump the remaining fuel out of the tanks so as not to pollute the environment.
36:08We wanted to get the fuel out of the boat so it wouldn't flow into the sea and to reduce the weight so that we could tow the Adigil more easily.
36:15But more water than fuel came out of the tank. There was probably a crack from the collision.
36:28I knew immediately that the damage was so extensive that the boat would never float on the water again.
36:48Now we'll tow it away and then we'll see what happens.
36:51We're trying to tow the Adigil to this French research station.
37:01It's about a day's journey away. It also depends on the weather.
37:06But the boat is getting fuller and that could be a problem.
37:21By the evening, the crew of the Adigil had obviously digested the initial shock.
37:42No one was hurt. Simeon is just faking the ribs to get the attention.
37:54They must have hated us because we annoyed them so much.
38:02We were the only boat that could have followed them the entire season.
38:07And that's why they wanted to take us out of the game. But I think they just wanted to ram the boat lightly.
38:12If they had torn 15 centimeters off the bow, we would have somehow gotten back to Hobart.
38:21But the guy must have miscalculated.
38:24From the Japanese perspective, they have eliminated the greatest threat to them.
38:32To life!
38:33You're risking your life when you come down here. It's risky, especially when the situation escalates like this.
38:50What should Sea Shepherd do now? Do we need a different tactic?
38:56Should we try to sink their boats?
38:58It is early morning in Antarctica and the Bob Barker has been towing the Adigil for six hours.
39:19The Shonan Maru 2 is still nearby.
39:24As the sun rises, it becomes obvious that the Adigil is increasingly carrying water.
39:29It's pretty deep. Both pontoons are already underwater. And the line is extremely tight.
39:44A third of the ship was already underwater, including the engine room and the fuel tank.
39:51It could no longer be saved.
39:52When I pumped out the spray, only water came out. This is a sign that the tank is cracked.
40:01And this is further proof.
40:08My gut feeling was that the ship could no longer be saved.
40:13I called Paul. He's the admiral.
40:15Hey, this is Chuck on the Barker. I need to speak to Paul, please.
40:22I'm looking at the Adigil right now. It's sitting pretty low in the water, and I think it'll sink in a few hours.
40:35I suggest we leave them behind and try to catch up with the whaling fleet again. What do you think?
40:43I don't know, that's up to Pete to decide. How's he doing?
40:46Quite good.
40:50I'll leave that entirely up to Pete.
40:57The ship is a part of Pete Bethune's life. It's pretty intense.
41:01It looks like this. An hour ago, a third of it was underwater. Both pontoons and almost the entire rear section.
41:18I think it will go down in a few hours.
41:24You built the thing.
41:25If the engine room is underwater, it will sink.
41:31Your decision.
41:37We'd better hunt the whalers.
41:41It's nice that you see it that way too.
41:44I don't have to be there when it sinks.
41:49Let's find the whalers.
41:50It's sad to see the boat sinking.
41:58But we have a mission to fulfill.
42:01We are here to end whaling.
42:10You've been here five or six times.
42:14Do you want to think about where they might be?
42:17Then we set a new course.
42:20Instead of one or two knots, we will soon be traveling at 14.5 again.
42:26And then we will quickly find the whalers again.
42:33West to here.
42:36And then south-southwest until we reach the ice.
42:41We will hunt them until the end.
42:45We will find them.
42:50Now we fight to the bitter end.
43:02We started the operation with three ships.
43:06Now there are two left.
43:07If they want to stop us now, they'll have to tear us in two.
43:11Now we want to stop them even more.
43:13If you want to take on a ship of the same size, here we are.
43:16The Japanese are a very proud people.
43:24They kill whales because they don't want the rest of the world to stop them.
43:32They think this will go away, but it won't until they stop whaling.
43:36Next time at Whale Wars.
43:44I can't get any closer as long as the Shonan Maru is there.
43:48Does anyone want to board the ship?
