00:30The activist is Captain Paul Watson. He has made it his life's work to put an end to this bloody activity.
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.
00:49Both parties feel they are in the right and push themselves to the limit, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:54Last time at Whale Wars?
01:02A week without whaling.
01:04This will be our most successful season yet.
01:08I skippered this boat for four years, but it wasn't until I was on the Bob Barker that I realized what had happened.
01:26I will board the Shonan Maru and arrest the captain.
01:33When do you want to do it?
01:35In the middle of the night. The boys are suspicious.
01:38It's extremely dangerous. We have to be well prepared.
01:43I jump at the crest of the wave. I run to the bridge and give the captain the bill for my boat.
01:51I wanted to board the ship anyway.
01:55What is the point of life if you have nothing to die for?
01:59This is a ship.
02:01The world is a vampire
02:04Send to Drang
02:08Secret Destroyers
02:12Hold you up to the planes
02:17And what do I get
02:20For my pain
02:25Spiral Marine
02:286 a.m. Pete Bethune will attempt to board the Shonan Maru 2 under cover of darkness.
02:55I'm pretty nervous. It only started last night. I only slept for an hour and a half, and now I have butterflies in my stomach.
03:14But I have to be nervous, too. After all, things aren't going to be easy.
03:25Pete Bethune wanted to board the Shonan Maru 2 from the beginning. He carefully planned the whole thing and considered all possible problems.
03:34This night vision device works with residual light.
03:45Let's get started.
03:49Lights out on deck!
03:50The jet boat is supposed to launch in complete darkness to surprise the whalers.
04:04For many crew members, Pete Bethune is already a hero.
04:09Pete is really brave. When the guys start, it's pitch black.
04:14And they're sitting on a jet ski, which we haven't had much chance to practice with.
04:21It's really a dangerous undertaking.
04:29Everyone who has to get on the jet ski should get ready.
04:34Then we stop completely and you get going.
04:36We are ready.
04:44See you on the other side.
04:49It's going to go wrong.
04:51See you in Japan.
04:54Pete was very focused and nervous this morning.
04:57But that's good.
04:59If you're not nervous in a situation like this, there's something wrong with you.
05:06That's happy.
05:07That's happy.
05:07Here we go.
05:14Loosen the color.
05:16Drop him as fast as you can, Leon.
05:19OK.
05:24I'm going to go now.
05:25Yes, simply...
05:26You keep an eye on them.
05:34Here we go.
05:36Pete, Bethune, and Larry are on their way to the Shonanmaru. I'll watch from the bridge.
05:50Where is the Shonanmaru? Three-quarters of a nautical mile north.
05:56How do they communicate with us?
05:59They'll click. We need to switch to channel 72. Turn it up full.
06:03Once means everything's okay. And twice?
06:08Clicking once means everything's okay. Clicking twice means they're boarding the ship.
06:13As soon as Pete is on board, Larry can use the radio again.
06:18How long? Three and a half minutes.
06:25The Bob Barker continues to follow the Nishinmaru. But the crew's thoughts are with Pete Bethune.
06:33The jet ski is barely visible in the water.
06:40Do you see anything on the monitor?
06:42Negative.
06:46Do you hear them?
06:48Not yet.
06:48Everyone was pretty tense, waiting for the click.
06:57What was that?
07:25One click. So you're still out.
07:37There's a light on the starboard side.
07:43Let's push up from astern. But watch out for the wake.
07:46The Shonan Maru was sailing on a parallel course 0.3 nautical miles to port of us.
07:58The ship weighs 800 tons.
08:00When you're following behind on such a light thing, you can really feel the wake.
08:05The timing and coordination of the jump were really difficult.
08:08I am ready.
08:19What does this mean?
08:21Two clicks means you're on board.
08:24They got there pretty quickly.
08:25Go.
08:36Again.
08:39Everything okay?
08:42Yes, but drive a little further away.
08:44Hold on tight!
08:53Do you hear them?
08:55Not yet.
08:56The crew received the last sign of life from Pete Bethune 15 minutes ago.
09:01I was sitting by the radio and from the moment they left I felt really sick.
09:11I was really scared that something would go wrong.
09:20We didn't know if he was already on board or lying somewhere in the water.
09:31Larry, can you hear me?
09:48Yes, Pete is on board.
09:51He's on board.
09:55He is on board, the schooner.
09:57He has him with the schooner.
09:58Yes.
09:58He's on board.
10:01No shit.
10:06He is a hero.
10:11The Schonanmaru 2 has several devices to prevent boarding.
10:18Metal spikes, water throwing.
10:20With a jet ski you really don't have a chance.
10:23But if anyone can do it, it's Pete.
10:26A month ago he lost his ship.
10:28Now he gets his revenge.
10:31Pete is now on the Schonanmaru and will arrest the captain.
10:44What would you say to Pete now?
10:46Good luck, you've got some balls.
10:47There is the flare.
11:00It didn't even take half an hour.
11:03The Schonan is really well secured.
11:08It was extremely dangerous, but the guys managed it.
11:11When we were Langsides, we crashed into the boat once and then further away again.
11:30Then Pete jumped, but he couldn't hold on and fell into the water.
11:34On the second attempt we crashed into the ship even harder.
11:37But he already had his hand on the railing and cut the net.
11:44Someone was walking around on the back deck with a lamp.
11:49We made quite a racket, they must have heard it.
11:56Steve, can you hear me?
11:58What did he say?
12:05That was Pete.
12:10This is Steve.
12:11I hear you.
12:14What's going on over there?
12:17Quite a lot of people here.
12:21So think about people in here.
12:22A lot of people.
12:28Have you seen him yet?
12:33Do they know you're there?
12:37I overheard a radio message.
12:39They are on our trail.
12:48Can you repeat that?
12:52They are on their way out.
12:58Pete Bethune's daring mission went off without incident.
13:07But in order not to take any further risks, Captain Watson wants to send the helicopter.
13:14What does it look like?
13:15I can see the surface of the water and the horizon.
13:18But in ten minutes it will get even better.
13:20Lie over and then Pete should reveal himself.
13:23We shouldn't wait too long, or they'll find him before we get there.
13:33The encounter with the whalers is filmed from a helicopter.
13:37In this way, Sea Shepherds want to ensure that the whalers behave correctly.
13:41Good.
13:43Here we go.
13:47This is my wife.
13:48This is my wife.
13:48This is my wife.
13:53We are in the air.
14:02There they are.
14:09We have visual contact with schooners.
14:17Do you see the helicopter?
14:18I'm just waiting for Chris.
14:24He says he's just waiting for Chris.
14:28The timing is perfect.
14:43I just saw Pete.
14:45All in black.
14:48He is on the bridge knock.
15:00He is clearly visible.
15:04We can see Pete on the port side of the ship.
15:10Wow.
15:11Thanks for the news.
15:15Pete, Pete, we got you inside.
15:21Pete can go.
15:22We're ready when you are, sir.
15:28He goes to the back.
15:32Nobody knows what they will do with him.
15:36The whalers certainly didn't expect someone to suddenly appear on the bridge.
15:41This will be the most dangerous moment when they realize that someone has modified their ship.
15:49That was the moment they realized that someone had changed their ship.
15:52Pete is on the starboard side of the bridge knocker.
16:15The guy sends him away.
16:43Pete Bethune just revealed himself to a very confused person on the bridge.
16:55They are looking for a boat because they cannot explain how he got on board.
17:19Incredible.
17:31No idea what happens now.
17:32Pete Bethune presents the astonished whalers with his self-written arrest warrant.
17:51Now Chris Altman can't do anything for him.
17:54Pete has now gone in.
18:02I can't see anything from here.
18:07There were mixed feelings.
18:12The worst thing for Pete must be the uncertain future.
18:16No one can say what will happen to him.
18:17Now the boys are awake.
18:29They search the ship for any devices.
18:32You probably want to know where he boarded.
18:40Under the thing that says no entry.
18:42That's when he cut the net, put his foot on the railing and went in.
18:51I've always thought it was very risky.
18:56But most of Peet's ideas are sensible.
18:59And everything he has tried so far has worked.
19:01I've always thought it was very risky.
19:05I see Pete.
19:17Is this his bill?
19:22Incredible.
19:23Looks like Pete is talking to the officers on the bridge.
19:29It's pretty brave of him to just get on board.
19:34Pete risked everything for this.
19:42Something is moving.
19:45Where did he go?
19:47He has disappeared.
19:53I don't see Pete anymore.
19:55Pete asked us to check if they received the letter.
20:07We should do this in Japanese.
20:13I was really worried because changing their security ship, which is really embarrassing for them,
20:18and then we ask if Pete Bethune is on board.
20:25If he has Pete Bethune on board.
20:38They will not answer.
20:40Or maybe not.
21:00Ask if they received the letter.
21:01You won't read it.
21:15Then read it aloud.
21:17Then read it aloud.
21:17To the Captain of the Shonanmaru 2, by Pete Bethune.
21:26I'm here to arrest them.
21:28We're taking her to Steve Irwin, where we'll take her into custody.
21:32We will then hand them over to the New Zealand police once we reach Wellington.
21:36I think he had a good reason to confront the captain.
21:45After all, his ship was destroyed and nobody did anything about it.
21:49So Pete did it himself.
21:50That is entirely justified.
21:56I'm just a normal guy with a wife and two kids.
22:00But I am fighting against something that I think is wrong.
22:03That's why I'm on this ship today.
22:04Sincerely, Pete Bethune, Captain of the Adigil.
22:15We're done here.
22:19There is no one outside anymore and nothing can be seen on the bridge either.
22:23We'll be back.
22:24Unless the captain has other plans.
22:29Come back.
22:33Already on the way.
22:34The Shonan Maru 2 remains on course with Pete Bethune.
22:44Two nautical miles away, the Bob Barker and the Steve Irwin are still pursuing the Nishin Maru.
22:52Pete Bethune is aboard the Shonan Maru and the Harpoon ships are nowhere to be seen.
22:57So far it has been a very successful season.
22:58For twelve days, no whale has been pulled over the factory ship's slipway.
23:11According to Sea Shepherds, they saved the lives of about 300 whales during this time.
23:17That is about a third of the total catch quota.
23:19The Japanese population sees a guy all in black being taken off the ship.
23:37The worst thing would be if they just locked him away.
23:43He needs company.
23:44The Nishin turns southeast.
23:57Course?
24:051,8,5.
24:07South.
24:08Let's see if the Shonan Maru stays on course.
24:14Unchanged.
24:15Interesting. Northeast.
24:19Towards Japan?
24:20Could be.
24:21The Sea Shepherds are faced with a difficult decision.
24:28You can either continue to follow the factory ship and disrupt the whaling,
24:32or they follow the Shonan Maru 2, on which Pete Bethune is.
24:50Yes?
24:50The Nishin has just changed course and is heading south.
24:56The Shonan Maru 2 continues its journey northeast.
25:04There are no surprises for Pete Bethune.
25:10He knew what the consequences would be.
25:13He even said, refuse to take me back if they try that.
25:17I want to confront these guys.
25:18We have to keep at it.
25:27Then we follow the Nishin south.
25:29Okay, thanks.
25:30The Shonan takes Pete to court in Japan.
25:48The matter must continue in Japan.
25:53And that is only possible if there is an international incident.
25:55Someone has to risk their freedom to do this.
25:58And that's exactly what Pete did.
25:59When the Bob Barker and the Steve Irwin are long gone,
26:09Pete Bethune will still be locked in a cabin on the Shonan Maru 2.
26:13But by doing so, Pete ensures that our efforts continue even after the whaling season.
26:18I think that's heroic.
26:19He was a clever guy.
26:28I wish him all the best and I am sure we will see each other again soon.
26:31Two hours ago, the Shonan Maru 2, with Pete Bethune on board, turned north.
26:48Meanwhile, the two Sea Shepherd ships followed the Nishin Maru south towards Antarctica.
26:53Environmentalists want to do everything they can to prevent further whales from being killed.
27:02The factory ship must have a good reason to come here.
27:05So we can assume that the harpoon ships are somewhere south of here.
27:08Meanwhile, the press has learned about Pete Bethune’s efforts.
27:25It was virtually impossible because the boat has metal spikes and nets on it to prevent boarding.
27:33Pete Bethune's attempt at the end was incredibly successful.
27:39The media has made it a huge deal.
27:42And that's exactly what we always wanted to achieve.
27:46Pete Bethune will confront the authorities in Japan with the matter.
27:51The skipper of a ship allegedly sunk by the whalers is now being held on their ship.
27:58The action was extremely ridiculous, outrageous and illegal.
28:05That's why we will take them very seriously.
28:09I don't know exactly what the verdict will be.
28:13Eventually, his $2.5 million ship was destroyed, and six of us almost died.
28:18He has every right to call the captain to account for his crimes.
28:21The whalers continue to blame the Sea Shepherds for the collision and describe the boarding of the Shonan Maru II as illegal.
28:32Pete Bethune wants justice, and since the government isn't doing anything about it, we have to take matters into our own hands.
28:42While the story of Pete Bethune goes around the world, the Sea Shepherds are once again focusing on
28:47to stop whaling for the last two weeks of the season.
28:51Do we have enough fuel to continue south?
29:00I think one more day is okay.
29:04Then we have to go back.
29:06We always know when we need to return to port to refuel.
29:13We also include a reserve.
29:15But at some point it just ends.
29:17How much fuel do you have left?
29:26I think around 150 cubic meters.
29:30This means the crew can stay on site for another two weeks.
29:34But the Steve Irwin has to say goodbye to Antarctica in the next 24 hours.
29:38If we were to pump fuel into the Steve Irwin, we would have to take a half-day break, and then the Nishin Maru's lead would be far too great.
29:51You can still manage 36 days.
29:59We could really ruin their season with that.
30:04The range of the Bob Barker is great.
30:09It can carry 500 tons of fuel.
30:11The Steve Irwin only has 200.
30:12Well, we were already on the line here.
30:27The ice is getting denser.
30:32How far is the ice shelf?
30:35Five nautical miles away from us.
30:42Two and a half of them.
30:43Looks pretty thick on the radar.
30:45Not good.
30:51In principle, it's not a problem because you can get through the ice if it's spread out so far and there are only small pieces.
30:58But because of the thick pack ice we have no chance.
31:00We can't get through there and that's exactly what the Japanese could exploit.
31:05Danger!
31:33Doesn't sound good.
31:34Things aren't moving in a particularly reassuring way.
31:44Right in front of us.
31:53The Bob Barker should be ahead of us.
31:55Paul wants you to go behind the Nischin.
32:06Well understood.
32:11The Bob Barker was supposed to withstand the ice, but we never tested it.
32:16In a few minutes we will see whether the Bob Barker is ice-safe.
32:25If not, the Sea Shepherds have a serious problem.
32:29Arne Feuerhahn is to check below deck whether the outer hull of the 50-year-old ship can withstand the loads.
32:35I am ready.
32:43We'll ram him.
32:54Here comes a big one.
32:57We'll take that one too.
32:58What does it look like?
33:12So far good.
33:13We took some pretty big chunks with us, but the outer shell didn't move.
33:25This way we can easily get through the pack ice.
33:32And yes, it was great.
33:35This year it will be easier because the Bob Barker is keeping the ice off us.
33:56It was nice when we were behind the slipway and the crew of the Nischin had no work.
34:02There was no carcass they could cut up.
34:09Like a train of ships.
34:13The Nischinmaru in front of the Bob Barker in front of the Steve Irwin.
34:19We follow them wherever they go.
34:22We drive back to Hobart.
34:32No propfowlers, okay?
34:34You have no one to help you now.
34:38Understood.
34:41Just keep blocking the slide.
34:44Okay, we'll do our best.
34:47Good luck.
34:47We all knew we could last longer.
34:58All I saw were sparkling eyes and big grins everywhere.
35:03Eight o'clock, it's my turn.
35:08Very gladly.
35:09We'll just keep staying behind the stern of the Nischinmaru and save another hundred lives.
35:24I wanted to tell you all this at once because there has been a lot of talk about it for the past week.
35:31I talked to Paul about what the end of our deployment here will look like.
35:36I've had to say a lot lately, I don't know, because until recently I really didn't know.
35:42But now I know and I want to share it with you.
35:48The original plan was for both ships to return to Hobart tomorrow.
35:56Then everyone would be in Hobart on the fifth and on the sixth there would be a huge event with the press.
36:07But we have more fuel than expected and can stay longer.
36:14The Steve Irwin will anchor on the fifth as planned.
36:18And on the sixth, the crew will meet Senator Bob Brown, who has been very supportive.
36:22But we'll stay here for at least another ten days.
36:33If it takes two days longer because they're just cruising leisurely through the ice, that's fine with us too.
36:42As long as it is safe, we will continue.
36:44There is no reason for us to go home now.
36:47Or does anyone have a different opinion?
36:48Do any of you need to be in Hobart before March 13 or 15?
36:53Then let me know now and raise your hand.
37:01If they go east, we can follow them even longer because we have to go there anyway.
37:09Is this okay for everyone?
37:12Well, I'm glad.
37:15I was hoping that would be your answer.
37:16Otherwise I would have to clean my apartment.
37:24There's an open area ahead.
37:29A little faster.
37:31We were a nightmare for the whaling fleet.
37:36We really annoyed them and cost them a lot of money.
37:40And the best part is that the Bob Barker is still hanging in there.
37:42Like defeating Goliath.
38:01There, iceberg.
38:03Pretty high.
38:04It's huge.
38:05I've asked the captain a few times if I could take the crew on a sightseeing flight or to an iceberg so they can see what I see.
38:19This time he said yes.
38:20So I was able to tell the crew that today was their big day.
38:23Everyone can fly around and then walk on the iceberg.
38:3695 percent of the crew had never been in a helicopter before.
38:39It was a great end to the mission.
38:41Better than the Delta.
39:11We probably died and ended up in heaven.
39:36The first time without engine noise in months.
39:38We are fighting against this overpowering whaling machine.
40:00But I feel like we really made a difference this year.
40:05We would never have thought this possible before.
40:07If you find enough people who believe in something, you can overcome all obstacles.
40:23You can take out a few bricks at the bottom and the whole system will collapse.
40:27The season was incredibly successful.
40:39We saved more whales than the Japanese could kill.
40:42The second ship was a great help.
40:44What is happening here is exactly what Sea Shepherd stands for.
40:56We are not giving up and therefore we will not deviate from this glide path.
41:02Awesome! A direct hit!
41:08I like to annoy mean people.
41:09Professionals could never do what my volunteers do here.
41:30What are a few years in prison when you are willing to die for the whales?
41:34Today the Shonan Maru II arrived in the port of Tokyo with Pete Bethune on board.
41:44He was expected by journalists and pro-election demonstrators.
41:49The government should punish him as severely as possible.
41:54Japan has charged Pete Bethune with five counts, including possession of a firearm and assault.
42:00It's about saving ourselves from ourselves.
42:26There is a limit to the exploitation of the oceans.
42:29If there is no more life in our oceans, we too will die.
42:38We must not give up until we have driven the Japanese fleet out of the Southern Ocean.
42:45But I'm sure they'll come back even more aggressive than this year.
42:49And they will again set a catch quota of 1,000 elections.
42:52I hope I live to see the day when whaling ends.
43:02But it's not over yet.
43:07I'm going over.
43:07But it helps, Gelderland, with climate change!
