00:00Since 2004, the Southern Ocean has been the scene of fierce fighting.
00:16The trigger for this is whaling in the Antarctic.
00:22The environmental organization Sea Shepherd is trying by all means to stop the Japanese whaling fleet.
00:28The 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.
00:49Both parties feel they are in the right and push themselves to the limit, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:58Last time at Whale Wars?
01:02Not a good sound.
01:05We can't fix it.
01:14Mayday, we are sinking!
01:15I only became aware of the whole thing on the Bob Barker. I have six men here who are happy to be alive.
01:26I want to arrest the captain of the Shonan Maru, but I need your approval.
01:33Pete and I don't always agree. If you want to pick a fight with us, fine.
01:38Ten days have passed since the Shonan Maru 2 collided with the Adigil.
01:50The captain of the sunken ship, Pete Bethune, now wants to board the survey ship and confront those responsible.
01:57Five more meters.
02:07You have to go under the water cannon.
02:09Then I'll just get wet.
02:11Yes, or you'll be thrown out of the boat.
02:18What is that? The guy has a gun.
02:21The guy has a gun.
02:27Again.
02:32He has a gun.
02:34Behind the mast stands a guy with an air rifle.
02:41Did he say gun?
02:42Sounded like that.
02:44Surely just an air rifle?
02:47Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
02:53No.
02:57You can't get up there.
03:02I'm really disappointed that we didn't make it.
03:08If they see you coming, you have no chance.
03:14Let's go back.
03:15If the guys on the Shonan Maru aren't afraid of you, they can do whatever they want.
03:28With the plug gun on the Adigil, they at least took cover.
03:32But today was a different story.
03:37I'm worried about the air rifles and stuff.
03:39Did you see what that was?
03:47No, it looked like a gun.
03:51Chuck is pretty conservative when it comes to tactics.
03:56No bow and arrow, no plug gun.
03:59It was as if he had supported my wings.
04:06That was great.
04:07It would be a miracle to board the ship if they see us.
04:12All nets were raised.
04:15Pete likes to push himself to the limit.
04:18But I will not break any laws or endanger people's lives.
04:25I don't want them to think of us as wimps they can do whatever they want with.
04:32Our job is not to be super correct, but to end whaling.
04:36Our job is to stop wailing.
04:38The world is a vampire
04:41Send to drain
04:45Secret destroyers
04:50Hold you up to the flames
04:54And what do I get
04:57For my pain
05:01And what do I get
05:01For my pain
05:02The spite of my rage
05:05Are you still the bread in a cage
05:08The spite of my rage
05:11Are you still the bread in a cage
05:14Just ten days ago, the crew of the Adigil kept the whaling fleet at bay with disruptive maneuvers.
05:29But now she is on board the Bob Barker and is counting the hours until the end of the mission.
05:34At least on the Adigil we could do what we wanted.
05:41We were free people who raced around more in the Antarctic. It's a shame we can't annoy them anymore.
05:46I didn't understand the value of our boat until we were here and I saw how slow this ship is.
05:56Damn, I wish I was out there right now.
05:57The boat was ideal for this.
06:03The season lasts until March, which means we're stuck here for another four weeks.
06:11This is frustrating.
06:13The two Adigil crew members Jason Stewart and Mike Smith had actually only planned a four-week deployment and were supposed to be back home a week ago.
06:23Mike is a firefighter in New Zealand.
06:27And if he doesn't come back on January 20th, he's fired.
06:33Is it better?
06:38I could lose my job and I have to take care of my little daughter.
06:44When does the season end? In March?
06:51I've spoken to Chuck a few times and asked him if I could go home.
06:54And he said he would even go out of his way to help me.
07:01You never know which way things will go.
07:04These are all just empty words.
07:15We will clarify this in the next few days.
07:22He lies to my face.
07:23We really tried everything. We contacted every expedition ship and every research station.
07:39Chuck and I radioed every research station and ship, but there was simply no way to get Michael home.
07:46Mr. Barker certainly didn't want to invest in a ferry for Michael.
07:56Unfortunately, we are in a difficult situation.
07:58If we let the fleet go now, hundreds more whales will be killed
08:03and secondly, it costs $50,000 to $75,000 in fuel to get the boys home now.
08:14No idea.
08:17They must not kill any more whales.
08:19It may be difficult at times, but our clients are primarily the whales.
08:29The disagreements on board are only a problem for the Bob Barker crew.
08:36Because once again the first engineer, Campbell Holland, has discovered a serious problem.
08:4750 centimeters.
08:49That's a problem.
08:53It was devastating to find out how little oil we had left.
09:03I calculated the order for the lubricating oil precisely, but unfortunately I overlooked something.
09:17Hey Chuck.
09:18Hey.
09:18We hardly have any engine oil left.
09:23It's enough for five more days.
09:30How do we solve the problem?
09:36It was hard to admit that I hadn't ordered enough.
09:40I don't want to risk ruining the $300,000 engine.
09:49With a ship like this, all we can do is look through the old lock books, and that's what Cam and the guys did.
09:57It looked like we would need 50 liters per day. But it turned out to be 100.
10:02I don't want to wreck the engine, but I also don't want to be stuck out here.
10:11It does hurt a little. I was responsible for making sure we had enough oil to stay here for a while.
10:17Realistically, the entire operation could have been completed in two days.
10:29The Bob Barker is running low on oil and is still being pursued by the Shunan Maru 2.
10:40The Steve Irwin, on the other hand, is looking for a whaling ship.
10:43This is Chuck. I have bad news. We're running out of lubricating oil.
10:58Oh, p***.
11:02The Bob Barker is out of oil and we have tons of it on board.
11:09But I can't take the Steve Irwin to the Bob Barker because it's being followed by the Shunan Maru 2.
11:16That would prevent both of us from getting to the whaling fleet.
11:28Change course and head for the Kergelen. We'll give you oil and water and give us diesel in return.
11:33The Kergelen Archipelago is located in the Indian Ocean, about 2,000 kilometers from Antarctica.
11:40The Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker are each three days' journey away.
11:44These are the most remote islands in the world, located right between Africa and Australia.
11:51The only human inhabitants of the archipelago, which James Cook called the Islands of Despair
11:57are the scientists of a French research station.
12:03Change your course and go!
12:08The archipelago is part of the French Antarctic Territory.
12:12Captain Paul Watson assumes that the Shunan Maru 2 will not follow the Sea Shepherds into French territorial waters.
12:20Off to the islands!
12:21I only have two things.
12:39First, we meet Steve Irwin at the Kergelen.
12:41This will be a nice change for everyone and you'll get to know Paul.
12:45He will see our ship for the first time.
12:46And secondly, the Steve Irwin will give us oil for another 26 days.
12:54The deployment could therefore be extended.
13:05We have talked about this several times and we have done everything we can to help you.
13:11You said you would do anything.
13:13Are four days too much to help me?
13:14If we go back, there are eight.
13:21For two boys.
13:26I'm sorry.
13:31The good news, if anyone wants to drink alcohol today, asshole.
13:44I can't help it either.
13:48Be a man and just say we have to bring the boys back.
13:53I have other obligations at home.
13:55I have a little daughter.
13:57My whole life depends on it.
14:03It really sucks that we accommodated you halfway, but you can't reciprocate.
14:08We have done everything we can to help you.
14:16Now I'm probably just an ulcer.
14:21Former Adi Gill crew member Mike Smith takes out his frustration unfiltered on Captain Swift.
14:29Mike is the strongest guy on board, combined with a height of almost two meters.
14:34First you listen.
14:41Everyone on board has someone important to them at home.
14:48Are you talking to Mike again?
14:52From now on, none of us should speak to him alone.
14:55Maybe he's suffering from post-traumatic stress, I don't know.
15:06But he seems to be unstable.
15:08No idea what he's up to.
15:10But he lets emotions get to him.
15:13And that's why we should always be two people.
15:17Exactly my opinion.
15:18Two weeks ago, the Adi-Gill was rammed and sank.
15:26Last week there were problems with the helicopter and it could no longer take off.
15:34Now the Sea Shepherds have only one option: to search for the fleet beyond the limits of their radar.
15:43The small inflatable boats.
15:44The inflatable boats are extremely important because they are faster and more maneuverable than any harpoon boat.
15:52And you can cast propfowlers.
15:54All of this is not possible with a large ship like the Steve Irwin.
16:02The crew completes a few test runs in preparation for the next mission.
16:06Chad is doing the best so far.
16:13The crew members of the Adi-Gill must be replaced.
16:42Mike and Jason have to go to the mainland.
16:48So what's going on?
16:50Those were interesting hours.
16:56Chuck just said that the crew of the Adi-Gill is whining about wanting to get off the ship.
17:01To hell with them.
17:08What do we care about their personal problems?
17:10Our commitment is above all else.
17:12And right now we have a non-flyable helicopter that we can't repair.
17:16Maybe we can head to a port where we can repair it and refuel the ship at the same time.
17:30We must definitely stay close to the Japanese.
17:34We may have to make a sacrifice.
17:36Should the Bob Barker stay here?
17:42But then the mood on our ship would be terrible.
17:47A difficult situation.
17:51I have to decide whether we repair the helicopter or not.
17:53How far is Tremendl?
17:582,322 nautical miles.
18:07Every time you go back to the port, you lose ten days each way.
18:11That is a long time for the whalers to continue their hunt.
18:15You have to keep this in mind when you drive back to the port.
18:17On the way to the agreed meeting point, Captain Swift receives surprising news from Paul Watson.
18:31Thanks, I'll pass it on to everyone right away.
18:47I'll just start.
18:53First, I have bad news.
18:55The helicopter on the Steve Urban has not been working for a few days.
18:59Therefore, it is now to be repaired in Fremantle.
19:05But this also means that we will receive 30 tons of fresh water and lubricating oil at our meeting
19:12and Mike, Jason and Pete can go to Fremantle and from there home.
19:24You've been through a lot, but now you can go home and get things done.
19:33I told you, we'll do what we can.
19:36I'll hug you later.
19:39I didn't understand anything, but it sounded good.
19:42There couldn't have been better news.
19:48I've wanted to go home the whole time.
19:50I'm really happy.
19:52I have a grin on my face that wasn't there this morning.
19:59That was your speech today.
20:05You should insult people more often.
20:12As the Bob Barker approaches the Kerguelen Islands, it is still being pursued by the Shonan Maru II.
20:26Captain Paul Watson's plan is to shake off the whalers' sighting ship by entering French waters.
20:33If this fails, it will be almost impossible for the Sea Shepherds to penetrate the whaling fleet.
20:38Is it still moving?
20:41Yes, right towards us.
20:43The researchers here at the research station are quite concerned about protecting the environment.
21:04We have just learned that the crew of the Shonan Maru II has also requested permission to enter French waters to continue following us.
21:15But that was rejected.
21:16Now she has turned 180 degrees.
21:37They stopped.
21:41They are in a panic.
21:51It's great that we got rid of the Shonan Maru II.
21:55Now we'll quickly exchange our supplies and then try to stop the whaling fleet.
22:07CONSTRUCTION Team, CONSTRUCTION Team, Bridge.
22:10Okay, bridge.
22:11Water depth 29 meters. We're staying here.
22:15Okay, we're anchoring now.
22:23The Steve Irwin has reached the Kagehlen.
22:26Here they are out of radar range of the Japanese whalers.
22:34Okay, we're done.
22:35You can break out the Kagehlen and break out the Kagehlen.
22:38DECS volunteers Chad Halstead and Leon Corsar use the break to cool off a bit.
22:49What is the water like?
23:02Quite cold, but pleasant.
23:06Pretty close to the delta.
23:19He should land there.
23:22Pleasantly warm, we should go swimming every day.
23:24The trip to the Kagehlen was one of those beautiful moments when you could briefly forget about the whaling fleet.
23:38They just enjoyed the wonderful surroundings. It was really fun.
23:43To facilitate the transfer of supplies on deck, the crew of the Bob Barker launches one of the inflatable boats into the water.
23:57That's good enough, then. We'll take good care of it.
23:58You look at them.
24:01Dolphins!
24:01Kommersen's dolphins are extremely rare. These black and white-patterned animals are significantly smaller than other dolphin species and often rotate around their long axis while swimming.
24:23There are more to come.
24:24Our welcoming committee. They're right next to the dinghy.
24:44Kommersen's dolphins are found only here and at the southern tip of South America, so seeing these unique animals is a truly special experience.
24:54Two nautical miles away, the Steve Irwin has dropped anchor. The crew is eagerly awaiting the Bob Barker.
25:11Bob, Bob, this is Steve. Over.
25:16Hey, Pedro.
25:17Pedro, can you hear me?
25:19Nice to hear your voice.
25:21Great to hear your voice.
25:22Hey, Pedro, you should see us soon.
25:30There they are.
25:38We now have visual contact.
25:43Okay, we see you too.
25:44It was a magical moment when the two Sea Shepherd ships met.
25:5877 people from all over the world. You could see how strong the organization has become.
26:05Welcome to your ship.
26:06Sorry about the boat.
26:11You were completely taken by surprise.
26:20You could feel the energy flowing back and forth between us. The atmosphere was fantastic.
26:24After the crew members have greeted each other, supplies must now be exchanged as quickly as possible.
26:37Finally something to throw.
26:3830 tons of water for the thirsty crew and a few barrels of oil for the thirsty engine of the Bob Barker.
26:47I just got away with it. Luckily, the Steve Irwin had the oil drums on board. Now we have enough for about a month.
26:56Now Mike is smiling again.
27:08Great finish.
27:15I'm going home.
27:17In the meantime, Captain Paul Watson discusses further tactics with his former first officer Peter Hammerstedt.
27:30Sounds good. So let's go straight to her.
27:34They're probably hunting again, so hurry up.
27:40We are aware that the Japanese are killing whales at this very moment.
27:43Therefore, we try to replace crew members and supplies as quickly as possible.
28:08Suddenly the weather worsens.
28:13Earlier it was 20 knots of gusts, now it's 50.
28:30Suddenly, all hell broke loose. That's just the way the sea is.
28:34One moment he's your friend, the next he's in trouble.
28:38What about the inflatable boats?
28:47The delta is full.
28:50Two of the inflatable boats were launched into the water to create more space for work on deck.
28:55But apparently, the work was not done carefully.
28:58One of the lines had gone rogue.
29:02So both boats were held by only one rope.
29:05And that slowly began to unravel.
29:11The Delta is moored to the Bob Barker.
29:14The second boat only at the delta.
29:16Now both boats are exposed to strong gusts of wind.
29:19The boats are important in the fight against the whalers.
29:29Losing one would be a huge handicap.
29:37Both would be a catastrophe.
29:41They'll never make it that way.
29:43Someone has to step in.
29:44We were afraid that we would lose both boats.
29:51So I should tie a line to the bow of the Farley.
29:57In order to secure the boats, which cost the equivalent of around 70,000 euros,
30:01Graham climbs down to the delta and tries to save what can still be saved.
30:05I can't do it.
30:15You have to get out of there.
30:18The boats were tossed around wildly.
30:22They were full of water, which increased the tension on the rope.
30:24To the other side of the leash.
30:46Help him up!
30:51Marcus Graham seems a little dazed.
30:54The strong wind took the Sea Shepherds completely by surprise.
31:00While the rest of the crew continues to try to secure the boats,
31:03Marcus Graham is treated.
31:14It's gone.
31:16Not good.
31:18What's going on here?
31:20The Farley drifts away.
31:21The brand new dinghy slowly disappears into the darkness.
31:29Oh boy.
31:32It was pretty exciting.
31:36I had hooked it up.
31:38But it just disappeared.
31:39I couldn't believe it.
31:40It's gone.
31:48That must have happened when I jumped in.
31:56Feels like I got hit by a bus.
31:58My head and feet hurt.
32:01But you still feel responsible.
32:03Those things cost $100,000 and I lost one.
32:08$100,000.
32:10We'll get that back.
32:12But maybe in 100 pieces.
32:14At least the crew was finally able to lift the flooded Delta onto the deck.
32:21But the engine breaks down.
32:27The Sea Shepherds have to wait until sunrise,
32:30until they can start looking for the second dinghy.
32:33After a sleepless night, the Delta can finally be sent off.
32:47Marcus Graham, Matt Kimura and Benjamin Janel go in search of the Farley.
32:57The crew spotted the missing dinghy on radar,
33:01near the rocky coast of the island.
33:04We didn’t know what the coast looked like,
33:08but we hoped that the Farley was still floating in the water.
33:12There is seaweed.
33:15How deep is the water?
33:19Not deep.
33:20Better keep going to the left.
33:24Otherwise we'll take everything with us.
33:27Seaweed strands found in so-called kelp forests can grow up to 70 meters long.
33:32They pose a great danger to any ship's propeller.
33:40Once you're in the Kelbwald, you'll slow down extremely and might even get stuck.
33:44The water over there is very smooth.
33:52Should we go around the outside?
33:54Yes, even further to the left.
33:55The seaweed plants are firmly anchored to the seabed with thick adhesive organs.
34:03It's getting more and more.
34:06Now the stuff is caught in the propeller.
34:08Just lift him up for a moment.
34:17I'll go back.
34:22Now forward.
34:23There's still stuff hanging in there.
34:31Matt Kimura has to carefully maneuver the fleet's only functioning inflatable boat through the dense seaweed to reach the second boat.
34:39Well, that would have slowed us down a lot.
34:49Can you drive closer?
34:52I think that's where it is.
34:54Do you see the frame?
34:54No, there, at one or two o'clock.
35:03There, on the beach.
35:08From a few hundred meters away we saw that the Fali was still floating in the water.
35:14But we were afraid that the engine would stall on the rocks.
35:16We wanted to get as close as possible and attach a leash to it to pull it out.
35:36Turn the engine down a bit.
35:39I'll push you out and then just go straight ahead.
35:46All the water in the boat pressed it even harder against the rocks.
36:05Matt and I had trouble just turning the bow because of the waves.
36:16Then we finally did it.
36:20I'll start.
36:24I wanted to get it away from the rocks.
36:29When the propeller touches the ground, it's gone.
36:37It's very shallow, not too fast.
36:38Oh my God.
36:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
36:46Now we're screwed.
36:51After the engine roared a few times and stones flew everywhere, the boat was free.
36:57We didn't know how badly it was damaged.
37:03The men secure the Fali with a rope on the delta.
37:07We are now towing the boat back to the Bob Barker.
37:16No one yet knows whether the propeller survived Kimura's action.
37:26The crew of the Steve Irwin is also busy with their dinghy.
37:31The delta was full of water last night.
37:35Is it working?
37:35No.
37:38Is the engine okay?
37:40Well, he was completely underwater.
37:44We need to be more careful.
37:45Not good.
38:11Something like this must not happen.
38:13The missing dinghy is brought back on deck of the Bob Barker.
38:26Now everyone hopes that it is still operational.
38:28When we returned the Fali, we saw that the propeller was missing.
38:47The cladding was also broken.
38:49It was all my fault.
38:50We tore off the propeller.
38:57We tore off the propeller.
38:59Maybe they bumped into something.
39:03It's even worse on the side.
39:04We have just lost one of the most important tools for our mission.
39:13A real tragedy.
39:14How bad is it?
39:33The Fali is cancelled for a while.
39:35I am a primary school teacher.
39:45I promised my students that I would ensure that they grew up in a world where whales were not hunted.
39:50I should show them that you should fight for the things you believe in.
40:07But right now I'm just very disappointed in myself.
40:11Sometimes things go wrong and my students know I'm doing my best.
40:34Ready to raise anchor.
40:38Then pull him up.
40:41Let's go.
40:50The exchange of supplies and crew members between the Bob Barker and the Steve Irwin took less than twelve hours.
40:58But after the Adi Gill and the helicopter on the Steve Irwin, one of the inflatable boats is now also unusable.
41:05Not a good basis for further use.
41:11The Steve Irwin is now heading to the nearest port to repair the helicopter.
41:34The Bob Barker remains alone in the Southern Ocean.
41:37The crew received an anonymous tip.
41:40Someone has given us the position of the Schonanmaru.
41:50We have now chosen a course that will take us safely past them so that we can return to the whaling area without them following us.
41:57It would be very frustrating if we had them on our backs again.
42:08The Steve Irwin is heading northeast back to Australia.
42:12The Bob Barker is moving northwest to avoid encountering the Schonanmaru II.
42:16But the weather forecast throws a stormy wrench into Captain Swift and his crew's plans.
42:29According to this forecast, that's over 50 knots.
42:35The gusts will be even more severe, in an area of over 200 nautical miles.
42:39That means 10 meter waves.
42:47When we come out on the other side, we might not have the dinghies or the radar. It's going to be extremely rough.
42:58If we drive a little west and then north, we are right in the middle of it.
43:04And if we continue southwest, the Schonanmaru II awaits us.
43:09Once again, Captain Chuck Swift has to make a difficult decision.
43:18In the south, the Schonanmaru II is waiting for the Sea Shepherds.
43:22In the north, a huge storm raged, and the reconnaissance ship was unlikely to follow them.
43:32We'll get through this.
43:35I'm not casting my vote yet.
43:37This is not a vote.
43:39Go.
43:44Go.
43:45Go.
43:49Go.
43:56Go.
44:01Oh my God.
44:03Look at that.
44:06Look at that.
44:07Next time at Whale Wars?
44:15Everything was rotated 45 degrees.
44:22We'll find a way for you to board the ship.
44:31At one o'clock. The factory ship.
44:35The Yuxin is approaching.
44:38And quickly.
