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.
00:46They, in turn, claim that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:49Both 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?
01:00The Harpoon ship has just changed course.
01:06Sound the alarm!
01:14Matt, we need a dinghy in the water!
01:17Where are they?
01:21Get the heaving lines! Do you see people?
01:25There was an accident.
01:28I never thought the Japanese would do something like that.
01:31In a few hours the ship sank.
01:33One of the six of us could easily have died there.
01:49The Adigil doesn't move.
01:54It has been two days since the Adigil was rammed by the Shonen Maru 2.
01:59We are trying to get the police to arrest and sentence the captain of the Shonen Maru.
02:12No one was seriously injured in the accident, but Captain Pete Bethune's ship, which cost almost two million euros, could no longer be repaired.
02:20The Sea Shepherds then decided to sink the Adigil.
02:24We did everything we could. We removed the fluids and the batteries to avoid harming the environment.
02:37But the Japanese Institute for Cetacean Research, ICR, contradicts this statement.
02:43A press release states,
02:46Japan's research vessels monitoring the area have detected an oily fluid leaking from the Adigil.
02:53Sea Shepard appears to be intentionally polluting the Southern Ocean.
03:01Who should take this report from the ICR seriously?
03:05First they sink our ship and then they complain about an oil spill.
03:08The fact is that the fluids were pumped out.
03:13The ICR continues to claim that the Sea Shepherds' ship is solely responsible for the collision.
03:19I find it incomprehensible that there has not yet been an arrest warrant.
03:27If we had sunk a Japanese ship, the Australian Navy would have been on its way long ago.
03:31There seems to be a double standard here.
03:33Strange that the Shonan Maru 2 is still following us.
03:53So we are constantly reminded of the damn ship.
03:55I was in shock and really angry.
04:10We stored a few of them in the sleeping coals, which were completely destroyed.
04:15We were extremely lucky that no one was in there at the time.
04:17If they really want to do it, then go for it.
04:26Bring it on.
04:32The world is a vampire
04:35Sent to drain
04:39Secret destroyers
04:43Hold you up to the flames
04:48Since the collision with the sleeping coals that we have stored in the sleeping coals,
05:18The Bob Barker is constantly being followed by the sighting ship, the Shonan Maru 2.
05:27Are you coming closer?
05:29Hard to say.
05:31150 nautical miles northwest of the accident site, the Steve Irwin continues its search for the whaling fleet.
05:40The Bob Barker stayed with the Adi Gill and the Nishin Maru left.
05:45We have lost one ship, but there are still two left and we are now even more determined.
05:51Now we absolutely have to catch up with the fleet again.
05:56Two days ago, the Sea Shepherds lost sight of the Nishin Maru.
06:00But Paul Watson suspects they are less than 200 nautical miles away.
06:04He discusses tactics with Captain Swift.
06:13I can't come to you while the Shonan Maru is breathing down your neck.
06:20We won't be able to shake them off so easily, except perhaps in the ice.
06:25But right now, the most important thing is that the Steve Irwin finds the Nishin Maru with the helicopter so that we can get back in the race.
06:43We send Chris to see if there is a harpoon ship nearby that could prevent us from getting any closer to the Nishin Maru.
06:49From my position, I can tell the bridge where the guys have to look for the Japanese fleet.
07:09I hope we can sneak up on them.
07:14Chris covers 70 nautical miles in one hour. A ship would take seven hours.
07:19This is a great advantage for tracking the fleet.
07:24After more than a month at sea, the crew of the Steve Irwin must start all over again and locate the fleet of whalers in the vast Southern Ocean.
07:34We're already in the right part of the ocean. Hopefully we'll find her in the next 24 hours.
07:38On the horizon, at about half past eleven, there are two dark objects pointing in the same direction.
07:56One is three times as big as the other.
07:58This could be the Nishin Maru, with a harpoon ship or a reconnaissance ship.
08:08I'll be back in ten minutes.
08:10We're getting closer.
08:30They aren't. It's an overturned iceberg.
08:45From a distance in this light, your eyes sometimes play tricks on you.
08:48This is what an iceberg looks like from below, full of albums. We want to continue west. I'll fly a little further.
08:58While one crew searches for the Nishin Maru, the team on the Bob Barker must finally shake off the pursuer.
09:18We have to do something about the Shonan Maru.
09:21We are filled with anger and want to get revenge on the whaling fleet.
09:32As long as the Shonan Maru 2 is near us, we'll never get through to the fleet.
09:41It's totally frustrating.
09:46We should focus on our tactics and eliminate them.
09:51It's normal for people to get a little restless. We all want to find the damn fleet.
10:08Captain Chuck Swift gathers his crew. He has a daring idea.
10:14This meeting probably won't last long.
10:18Is there anyone willing to board a ship?
10:21With the pursuer on our tail, we have no chance of finding the fleet.
10:34So boarding is a good idea if we can do it safely.
10:38In 2008, Benjamin Potts and Giles Lane boarded a Japanese harpoon ship and disabled it for two days,
10:49until the environmentalists were brought back to Steve Irwin by a customs ship.
10:55This plan could work now too.
10:58But there are some risks to consider.
11:00Just before you do it, a thousand thoughts race through your head.
11:10And this year the consequences could be more serious.
11:13What about Japanese law?
11:19They could make an example of you and take you back to Japan.
11:25Disrupting commercial trade can result in five years.
11:33In the Japanese Gulag.
11:34In the Japanese Gulag.
12:04I would volunteer. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
12:12I would do it. If it finally puts an end to the killing of whales, I would go to jail for it, too.
12:19I mean, that's nothing compared to what the whales go through.
12:26We all signed a form saying we were willing to die for the whales.
12:32And many people here would actually risk that.
12:40After an unsuccessful reconnaissance flight, Chris Altman is on his way back to Steve Irwin.
12:45There is a whale.
12:59Bridge, in front of you are three humpback whales.
13:04To all crew members.
13:06Whales on the starboard side.
13:07Humpback whales grow up to 15 meters long and weigh up to 30 tons.
13:31Why they jump out of the water is still relatively unexplored.
13:38It could be a form of communication or a method of scanning the water surface for ships or schools of fish.
13:47The whales could also be trying to shake off parasites in this way.
13:53Other scientists believe the animals are simply playful.
14:00Humpback whales are among the endangered whale species.
14:03But this year, Japan has also set the catch quota at 50 animals.
14:07The whales are our clients.
14:22Many people criticize our approach, but it is the only one that actually saves whales.
14:31You are now right next to the bow.
14:37Wow!
14:38You see his eyes?
14:40They see us.
14:44It's great to see the whales.
14:48But I'm also worried about how easy it would be to kill them.
14:51It's like chasing goldfish in an aquarium.
14:55It's so easy to find and kill whales.
15:02We need to find the fleet now.
15:07150 nautical miles further south, Pete Bethune is determined to board the Shonan Maru 2,
15:23because he blames them for the sinking of the almost two million euro Adi Gill.
15:29The net goes all the way around.
15:31On whaling ships, massive metal spikes and nets prevent any uninvited guest from coming on board.
15:39If you get a leg across, you can hook yourself with a knife.
15:44Then they won't be able to get rid of you.
15:47Then they'll get you for piracy.
15:49No, we want to arrest the captain because he sank my ship.
15:55Yes, but that is vandalism.
15:57Then I'll just get a punishment.
15:59It's about piracy. You can't do that.
16:04We would have the fleet firmly under control if the Adi Gill still existed.
16:09I came here to end whaling.
16:12There was nothing to the east. So we'll take a short break now and then head west.
16:29Although Chris Altman searched a relatively large area for the fleet,
16:33There is still no trace of the Nishinmaru and the harpoon ships.
16:42Shortly after landing, the helicopter suddenly makes disturbing noises.
16:54That's the rotor head. Yes, it sounds like it.
17:03Is it coming from here? What a load of crap.
17:09The main rotor gear does not make a good noise.
17:12Something is rubbing.
17:16No, it's more of a moan.
17:18Pretty deep.
17:23It's not a sound you want to hear when you're on a ship 2,500 nautical miles from land.
17:29I don't know exactly what it is yet, but it is certainly alarming.
17:38Meanwhile, Captain Pete Bethune’s plans are becoming more concrete.
17:42I want to make sure I don't get five years for this.
17:52The question is whether it is even commercial trade, since it is only about research.
18:00I have nothing to do here anyway. We've shot our bolt.
18:03You're just drinking our water.
18:09Exactly. I'll eat everything you eat and fuck your wives.
18:14Maybe they'll have to take me back to Australia or New Zealand to get rid of me.
18:19The dinghy drops me off and then it's gone.
18:24No Sea Shepherd ship nearby.
18:28Then they'll have me on their hands and have to try me in Japan. That sounds like a plan.
18:33I hope Pete catches them. We still have a score to settle with them.
18:44It's not easy, but when Pete sets his mind to something, he follows through.
18:48I want to board the Shonan Maru and look the captain in the eye.
18:57I would like to chat with him sometime.
18:59The former captain of the Adi Gill, Pete Bethune, is determined to board the Japanese reconnaissance ship.
19:17But first he would like to clarify a few important points with Captain Swift.
19:23I want to board the Shonan Maru and arrest the captain, but I need your approval.
19:27I wasn't surprised that Pete wanted to board the ship.
19:34He is a man of action and an eloquent representative of the Sea Shepherds.
19:42If you really want to, you'll become our spokesperson in Japan. That's a brilliant idea.
19:50Sea Shepherd just has to cover my legal fees and bring me home after the whole thing.
19:57We do that.
20:12Today Pete Bethune wants to board the Shonan Maru 2.
20:16But just before the mission begins, the crew of the Bob Barker makes a shocking discovery.
20:21Where does the water come from?
20:30A leak developed somewhere in the ship's freshwater tank overnight.
20:35We have almost no water left.
20:38There must be a jump here. And in the wall too.
20:41Even further ahead?
20:54The crew desperately tries to seal the leak.
20:57But the damage can no longer be undone.
20:5990 percent of drinking water reserves are lost.
21:02The water situation is so serious that we don't even have to think about whether we should take a shower.
21:15Hopefully the situation will improve soon.
21:17But please just keep that in mind because things are looking really bad right now.
21:20We barely have any fresh water left, so we can't use the dishwasher or washing machine.
21:41The water looks pretty disgusting.
21:43I now wash things with salt water.
21:52I heated it in the kettle and now I'm rinsing the items with cold water.
21:57At least then we have clean clothes.
22:01We can't take a shower either.
22:05I don't mind getting dirty.
22:07But I find going to bed dirty disgusting.
22:09But at least I washed the critical areas.
22:19This is our newest propfowler, and he'll scare you.
22:25We threw all our laundry into a bag and now we hang it in the water and let the sea wash our clothes.
22:34Make sure everything holds.
22:39Damn, we lost our clothes.
22:48How could they leave?
22:56The rope didn't hold and now our things are floating in the sea.
22:59Socks, underwear and Sea Shepherd clothes.
23:07I've already borrowed this shirt.
23:10The colleagues were very generous.
23:15Another load?
23:18I think it's nice that people haven't lost their sense of humor and combine it with good ideas.
23:23But if we run out of water, that means the end of the mission.
23:37The crew of the Steve Irwin has been working non-stop for nearly 24 hours to resolve the helicopter's mechanical problem.
23:47For rookie Bevin Washer, working on deck is a real challenge.
23:50Working on a ship is extremely risky. A mistake that would be a trivial matter on land could jeopardize the entire operation here.
24:05Can you look at that again?
24:06I already have.
24:07We need to do a test flight now. Something could easily go wrong, so everyone's on alert.
24:24One wonders, can such a noise simply disappear?
24:28But now I have to serve as a test pilot.
24:31Be prepared in case I have to make an emergency landing in the water.
24:34The helicopter is vulnerable.
24:42At these temperatures, a crash wouldn't be so great.
24:47Put the boat in the water.
24:50Good luck!
24:52The crew launches one of the inflatable boats into the water so that they can reach the crash site quickly in an emergency.
25:09But everyone hopes that the test flight will go smoothly.
25:15The risk is higher on this flight, so the medical team is on standby.
25:19We've prepared the delta. It's scary, but we have to do this.
25:46I hope it works.
25:47It's going to go wrong.
26:00It was definitely an intense moment. My heart rate shot up.
26:04The biggest risk when flying over water, of course, is that you can't simply make an emergency landing to look at the problem.
26:19There isn't much room for error.
26:20150 meters above the Southern Ocean the sound suddenly reappears.
26:40Now Altman must try to land as quickly as possible.
26:42I'm coming back.
26:53Let's hope for the best.
26:56The rescue team gets ready and Altman races back to Steve Irwin.
27:00The rescue team is getting ready.
27:30Altman landed safely on deck. He immediately informed Captain Paul Watson.
27:42Is the helicopter damaged?
27:46Let's say he's unhappy. That sound isn't something to be taken lightly. He'll stay on the ground.
27:59Not even for short distances?
28:01No. If one of these bearings fails, the rotor blades simply stop.
28:06I'll let you know as soon as I know anything new.
28:14Chris is in charge of the helicopter. And if he says he can't fly, then that's the way it is.
28:21We probably have no other choice.
28:22130 nautical miles south, Pete Bethune still has to wait for his deployment.
28:34First, the crew must get the drinking water problem under control.
28:40The crack in the tank is sealed.
28:43Now the Sea Shepherds urgently need to replenish their water supplies.
28:46We were waiting for the right opportunity.
28:51And now we're going to break off a few pieces from a large iceberg and fill our tanks.
28:59The boat is in the water.
29:06Captain Chuck Swift also sees the action as a great advantage for boarding the Shonan Maru 2.
29:16We will now openly drive to the iceberg and get some ice.
29:20When Pete approaches them later, they will have seen it before and will hopefully be less suspicious.
29:32Former Adi Gill crew member Jimmy Burrows will join forces with Benjamin Potts to try to get the ice on board.
29:39The chunks of ice crash against each other in the surf.
29:49If you get caught in there, you'll get crushed.
29:52Keep the net ready.
30:09These colossi are thousands of years old. Only 10 percent of the ice is visible on the surface.
30:23Everything except the outermost layer, which absorbs salt water, can be used to treat drinking water.
30:35This thing is hard to steer backwards.
30:39Here comes our water.
30:47Here comes our water.
30:48They may have more money, but we are passionate about what we do and will not give up.
31:14After several trips there and back, the Sea Shepherds’ water tanks are finally full again.
31:29Once they're melted, it's perfect.
31:31Now the crew can return to the actual mission.
31:40The boarding of the Shonan Maru 2.
31:42We are within reach.
31:45Do all have radios?
31:47Clear.
31:49Satellite phone?
31:49GPS?
31:51Yes, don't worry.
31:53Good.
31:54Keep us updated.
31:56The Adi Gill was sunk.
31:59That is reason enough for Peet’s action.
32:01Let's see what happens.
32:11They have a certain idea of Sea Shepard.
32:15A bunch of hippies wearing sandals with socks.
32:19But we are willing to risk our lives to stop something we believe is wrong.
32:24Captain Chuck Swift calls a final meeting before the mission.
32:37We have enough ice for the tanks.
32:40Now we can turn our attention to our pursuer.
32:43The Bob Barker will set in motion.
32:45At the same time, Mad's crew will try to sneak up on the Shonan Maru 2 in an inflatable boat, protected by an iceberg.
32:51And then they will try to board the ship.
32:59The Bob Barker is supposed to shield the dinghy until it is behind the iceberg.
33:04There the crew will wait for the sighting ship and then strike with lightning speed.
33:12How long do you need?
33:1430 minutes from your go.
33:15See you on the other side.
33:23You are really brave.
33:26No, just stupid.
33:28A beautiful day to be alive.
33:36We have a hot date with the Shonan Maru.
33:39It took him many years to get the ship ready to sail.
33:47And then they sink it and almost kill him.
33:49I think he is very brave.
33:53I'm really nervous.
33:56Pete Bethune knows exactly what he's getting into.
33:59If he succeeds, he ends up in a Japanese prison.
34:02If he fails and falls into the water, he can be lucky if he survives.
34:06You can do it.
34:11I hope so.
34:15It's starting.
34:19You're pretty fat.
34:21This is the bulletproof vest.
34:24Since the Adigil incident, I've always worn one.
34:30Let Pete out and come back right away.
34:34See you on the other side.
34:36They have those metal spikes, but they won't stop Pete.
34:48Willpower can achieve a lot.
34:54Doing nothing is worse than failing.
35:01Visit me in jail, okay?
35:02The Steve Irwin is still searching for the Japanese whaling fleet.
35:19They are beyond the horizon.
35:21The helicopter that served the Sea Shepherds well as a reconnaissance aircraft is still not ready for takeoff.
35:30It was really frustrating.
35:33It was really frustrating. The helicopter was out of commission for the entire remainder of the mission.
35:43Without help from the air, it is extremely difficult for the crew to find the fleet in time.
35:49The crew is frustrated.
35:50Another wonderful day in the galley.
35:58After seeing the humpback whales, everyone is wide awake again.
36:03Every day we are not with them, animals are slaughtered.
36:08That's why everyone wants to get started as quickly as possible.
36:10Chris Oldman is looking for the fastest route to the nearest port to repair the helicopter.
36:23In the worst case, back to 35 and then beyond.
36:29It is 6,600 nautical miles to Hobart.
36:32That's 20 days, there and back.
36:38So 20 days plus a few days in port.
36:42That's just the way it is.
36:45It's a long time.
36:47You must not see it that way.
36:49We simply have to make sacrifices to get back in the race.
36:54Then we should sacrifice the helicopter.
36:59What do you mean?
37:00Our advantage is that we have two ships.
37:04And then it would be gone.
37:08We are out of the race for 20 days.
37:11Going back for the helicopter doesn't make sense.
37:15This is just frustrating for everyone.
37:21What is our top priority?
37:25The helicopter is important.
37:27As chief mechanic, he must know what I'm doing here.
37:33Whether he accepts it or not is his business.
37:39Nonsense.
37:39We'll be accelerating for the next five minutes.
37:58We've just started moving and the small boat is behind me.
38:05The Shonan Maru is currently eight nautical miles away on the horizon.
38:08We will wait and then strike quickly.
38:18The Bob Barker and the Delta will travel parallel to each other until they reach the iceberg.
38:24Then the dinghy will hide behind it until the Shonan Maru 2 is within range and Pete Bethune can try his luck.
38:31Accelerate once the iceberg is between us.
38:40We are almost at the same height.
38:51Full throttle.
39:07Journey behind the iceberg.
39:09The dinghy races behind the iceberg as planned.
39:20Now the Sea Shepherds must wait and see whether their plan works.
39:23They're somewhere ahead of us. But I can't see them.
39:38We took cover behind the iceberg.
39:42The last time we saw the bow of this ship, it was cutting the Adigil in two.
39:53They're coming soon.
40:02They noticed that we were accelerating and also stepped on the gas.
40:07That's good. That's exactly how we lure them to the dinghy.
40:16There they are.
40:19What do you all mean?
40:21Waited long enough. Two nautical miles?
40:24Everyone ready?
40:27We have a date with the Shonan Maru.
40:35They haven't noticed us yet.
40:38So far everything is going according to plan.
40:40Seven nautical miles away from the boarding crew, the Bob Barker heads west, acting as a decoy.
40:58Pete Bethune needs to get close enough to the scout ship to jump aboard.
41:03His plan is to arrest the captain for sinking the Adigil.
41:06Drive next to him. They haven't seen us yet, and I don't see any L-Rats.
41:15Do you see that?
41:19Did Shonan film?
41:20Did the Shonan film?
41:23Yes.
41:24I can't tell exactly.
41:28They turn away.
41:30Maybe they saw us.
41:34Now the water cannons are coming.
41:36They definitely saw us.
41:40There's someone at the L-Rat.
41:43Come closer, Matt.
41:43Even after the whalers discovered the dinghy, Bethune was determined to complete the operation.
41:53Even closer.
41:57There is their wake.
42:00Doesn't matter.
42:01What does he have there?
42:19That's a gun. Do you see it?
42:21Again.
42:33Get down, Matt.
42:35He has a gun, but he hides behind the mast.
42:37Looks like an air rifle.
42:41Did he say gun?
42:43Sounded like that.
42:45Maybe it's a regular rifle.
42:48Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
42:50No?
43:03Next time at Whale Wars.
43:07I'm not going to risk anyone dying.
43:13What's going on there?
43:14The dinghy drifts away.
43:17Over to the other side.
43:18I have to take care of my little daughter at home.
43:27Two crew members of the Adi Gill must be replaced.
43:32They can go to hell. Our commitment is paramount.
