00:00Antarctica. The conflict between the environmental organization Sea Shepherd and the Japanese whalers is escalating.
00:14The conservation crew consists entirely of volunteers and is led by Captain Paul Watson.
00:21They fight against a group of Japanese whalers hunting in the Southern Ocean.
00:30The Sea Shepherds believe that Japanese whalers are violating the international whaling ban.
00:36They, in turn, claim that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:40Both parties feel they are in the right and push themselves to the limit, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:49Last time at Whale Wars.
00:55Cut through! Is the pontoon okay? Water is coming in.
01:00The crack was half as long as the boat.
01:04We're a little bruised. Please come pick us up.
01:08That's 67 nautical miles.
01:11We'll be there in five hours.
01:14Five hours?
01:15It got really cold and Mikey definitely got it the worst.
01:41Mikey, is everything okay?
01:53He was just shivering and there were signs of hypothermia.
01:58We put him in a rescue bag so he wouldn't get any colder.
02:13I saw that Mikey hadn't gotten up in a while.
02:18I was angry at myself for letting him go to sleep.
02:22But I probably couldn't think clearly myself at that point.
02:25The most important thing now is to get people back.
02:50Yesterday, the two boat crews of the Bob Barker successfully completed their mission.
03:02They were able to push away the harpoon ship that had been pursuing Sea Shepherd for two weeks.
03:07But when they tried to return to Bob Barker, they ran into trouble.
03:11They have now been drifting helplessly on the open sea for over twelve hours.
03:14The perceived temperature is minus 20 degrees.
03:21I left the port with a certain number of people and that's how I want to come back.
03:28We risk our lives for the whales, but we still have to act sensibly and safely.
03:32I can't reach her by satellite phone, but I keep trying every five minutes.
03:56It was originally agreed that the teams in the dinghies would report to their colleagues every 30 minutes.
04:04But for the past hour, there's been no radio communication. The crew members on the bridge of the Bob Barker are slowly becoming uneasy.
04:12No answer.
04:13It's terrible to spend the whole night trying to find these completely cold people.
04:27You think about what it must be like to sit out there in the cold.
04:32I'm really worried about the boat crews.
04:35These people are like family to me. And now they're really in trouble.
04:43The world is a vampire
04:56Send to drain
05:00Secret destroyers
05:04Hold you up to the flames
05:09And what do I get
05:12For my pain
05:16For my pain
05:17For my pain
05:19In spite of the rage
05:20I am still just ready to hate
05:23In spite of the rage
05:26I am still just ready to hate
05:29The Bob Barker has reached the last known coordinates of the dinghies.
05:54According to the two crews, they sought shelter behind an iceberg.
06:03There's no iceberg. Where are they?
06:08That's not an iceberg. Where are they?
06:09That's not an iceberg. Where are they?
06:10That's not an iceberg. Where are they?
06:11That's not an iceberg. Where are they?
06:14The Manuel Burton
06:16Have you heard anything from them?
06:36Not yet.
06:40I was worried. We have to make sure the crews' lives aren't in danger.
06:46But in these dangerous waters, such things can happen.
06:53Keep searching.
07:16Most likely north, where there is no wind.
07:23Do you see them?
07:27Not yet.
07:29Not yet.
07:32We don't even see the iceberg.
07:36I see you.
07:45Where?
07:46I have them.
07:51It was a tremendous relief. But we had to hurry.
07:57Should I pass it on?
08:00Yes, everyone should get ready.
08:04Watch out, a boat is coming in now.
08:06Boat in.
08:07I would be one boat incoming.
08:08Okay, they're coming on now, guys.
08:13Our boat crews were in the water for twelve hours.
08:19They are completely hypothermic, so the entire crew helps to get them out of the water as quickly as possible.
08:25When we finally found them, the boys had to practically drag Mikey inside.
08:40Mikey wasn't feeling well at all.
08:55He could no longer control the shaking.
09:00So we tried to get him to the Bob Barker as quickly as possible so he could be treated.
09:05Now comes the Farley.
09:19The second boat is also lifted aboard. It is apparently no longer usable for further use.
09:28It was an incredible feeling to climb over the railing.
09:34Everyone was worried about us, but all I could think about was Mikey and Sam.
09:41Two are at the doctor's and three are in the mess hall.
09:44Mikey and Sam aren't doing so well.
09:46And Sam?
09:47Yes.
09:48Sam?
09:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:59When Mikey and Sam came in, my worst fears were confirmed.
10:07Mikey seemed confused and was completely blue and shaking.
10:13He was soaking wet and barely moved.
10:16It was bad. I wanted to prevent the hypothermia from getting worse, because that could have been fatal within an hour.
10:29I also took care of Sam. He was disoriented, shaking, and what he was saying didn't make much sense.
10:41I was really worried.
10:5432.3. That's exactly between mild and moderate hypothermia.
11:01Mikey May has been receiving treatment for 30 minutes now. The ship's doctor, Thomas Reinertson, has managed to bring his body temperature back to normal.
11:14We'll warm you up and everything will be fine.
11:21They are incredibly brave, but two of them could have died.
11:27Sam has 34.5. That means mild hypothermia.
11:36Two more hours out there and things would have turned out differently.
11:44My heroes, how are you? Are you warmer yet?
11:50After your hug, yes.
11:52When you say you would die for a whale, you are more likely to think of being shot by a harpoon.
12:03But there are many other dangers. We're simply in a very hostile environment down here.
12:08They spent 13 hours on the open sea in Antarctica. That's the great thing about volunteers: their incredible passion.
12:25They gave their all so we could shake off the pursuer.
12:28Now we have a transmitter on Yushinmaru 2. And hopefully it will lead us directly to Nishinmaru.
12:34A real success. And I'm glad the crew is doing well.
12:37Distance? 251 nautical miles.
12:56The deployment of the inflatable boats was indeed successful. The tracking device on the Yushinmaru 2 has just transmitted its first signal.
13:04The harpoon ship is 250 nautical miles away.
13:11The Sea Shepherds hope that the harpoon ship will lead them to the fleet's factory ship, the Nishinmaru.
13:21The transmitter on the Yushinmaru 2 seems to be working. But we don't know if we'll be able to get to the Nishinmaru this way.
13:29What are these positions?
13:34They were there at 6 a.m., 10 a.m., and 2 p.m. We get a signal every four hours.
13:40Do you lead north?
13:42Yes, in a zigzag.
13:45Perhaps we should not follow them directly, but rather stay on a parallel course.
13:53How far is the Gojira?
13:58100 nautical miles.
13:59Then she should go there and we'll stay back.
14:06The Steve Irwin is being pursued by a harpoon ship, the Bob Barker is too far away.
14:11So the Gojira is supposed to intercept the harpoon ship.
14:14Wherever we suspect they are, we should not go there because otherwise we will only draw their attention to ourselves.
14:22So we just drive roughly in their direction and leave the search to the Gojira.
14:28Hello, Lucky.
14:32Hey, Captain, how are you?
14:34Do you have the coordinates?
14:36Yes, pretty exciting.
14:39The Bob Barker and the Steve Irwin won't go directly there, but you will, okay?
14:44Great. Then we'll keep each other updated and celebrate together tomorrow.
14:49We have a new position. Got it?
15:02Half of the whaling season is over.
15:05The Sea Shepherds have still not been able to locate their main target, the Nishinmaru.
15:10They are aware that the fleet is most likely already hunting whales.
15:15Therefore, quick action is required.
15:16Unfortunately, only one engine is currently operational on the Gojira.
15:21Until the engine is working again, our hands are tied.
15:27Not an ideal situation, but we're pretty close.
15:31So we will soon try to stop them from whaling.
15:35We just have to take the risk.
15:36After the Sea Shepherds are three weeks away from the nearest port, all medical problems on board must be resolved.
15:55Let's see.
15:59This time, Bosun James Brooke tries his hand at being a dentist. He quickly comes to a professional diagnosis.
16:05The root is exposed. We'll now push this thing between the cheek and the tooth so it doesn't press on it anymore.
16:13Does that hurt? I'll quickly fasten it so it doesn't interfere with biting.
16:28Did that hurt?
16:40That too?
16:42You've touched a nerve.
16:47Thank you, sister.
16:50Leave it on for an hour and try not to move your mouth.
17:00During the campaign you experience some intense things, but the motivation is that you are doing it for a good cause.
17:20No new data.
17:2211 p.m. The Steve Irwin hasn't received a signal from the tracking device on the Yushinmaru II for almost five hours.
17:30The Sea Shepherds were supposed to receive new information about the harpoon ship's coordinates every four hours.
17:36Four hours forty.
17:40Hasn't it already been five hours?
17:43No, four hours eighty.
17:50We should tell Paul.
18:02No news for five hours. The longest gap so far was four hours and 18 minutes.
18:11Do you think they lost him?
18:13It could have been discovered or washed away. Or it simply doesn't work anymore.
18:24Let's see what happens after eight hours.
18:31Should we let you know tomorrow morning?
18:35I want to know right away.
18:37Then see you later.
18:43It's going to be a long night.
18:44It's going to be a long night.
18:58Still nothing.
19:04No signal for eight hours 35.
19:07Maybe the batteries are dead because of the low temperatures. We already had that problem with the helicopter.
19:22See you tomorrow, then.
19:23See you tomorrow, then.
19:34We're a little worried. The transmitter could have fallen down. Or someone on the harpoon boat discovered it and removed it.
19:45We're running out of time. We just missed our chance.
19:50Pretty shitty, if I have to say so myself.
19:53Pretty shitty, if I have to say so myself.
20:05Still nothing. That's it.
20:07Then.
20:21As the sun rises over the Southern Ocean, an unpleasant surprise awaits the crew of the Bob Barker.
20:27The Bob Barker was able to escape the whalers' radar range, but the newfound freedom was short-lived.
20:52The Bob Barker is being pursued again, this time by the Yushinmaru 1. This makes it impossible for the Sea Shepherds to track the fleet's factory ship.
21:06They saw us.
21:09It's very frustrating. It took us twelve hours to shake them off. It makes you wonder, did we do all that for nothing?
21:15We are still cleaning up the traces of yesterday.
21:28Captain Alex Cornelison personally inspects the damage to the dinghy.
21:39There are reinforcements in here. This is a layer. One here, one here, one here.
21:45About 10 layers were torn apart.
21:54The whole thing is hanging on this piece of rubber. It's going to take a while to get it back together.
22:00We can only repair this in port.
22:11This means that one of Sea Shepherd's most effective tools will be out of service until the end of the whaling season.
22:17Everything can be repaired, but only on land.
22:29The Sea Shepherds are experiencing an unwanted déjà vu.
22:33Once again, two of the three ships are being pursued by a harpoon ship.
22:37Now it's up to the Gojira to follow the Yoshimaru 2 to the factory ship.
22:41But without the tracking device, the crew has to continue the search the old-fashioned way.
22:48Unfortunately, the device stopped working. It happened just when we needed it most.
22:54Now we'll drive around a bit and hope we're in the right place.
23:05Where are you?
23:09We've had a few quiet days now. Some crew members are starting to get impatient.
23:13The phase in which you haven't found the factory ship yet is always the most difficult.
23:18Because only when we have the factory ship can we stop killing whales.
23:31Do you see that?
23:32That's a clue.
23:40Pretty fast.
23:42Captain McLean believes that the spot on the radar could be the whaling fleet's factory ship.
23:48Do you see anything at 11 o'clock?
23:53Ben, do you see something?
23:57Not yet. But we should spot something soon. Another 6 or 7 nautical miles.
24:01We'll see in a moment.
24:09I have something here.
24:11I have something here.
24:15I see a tower.
24:19I see a tower.
24:24Nishin or Yushin?
24:26I don't know, but it's huge.
24:28It has beige bodies, but it doesn't look like the Nishin.
24:32The bridge is further ahead.
24:37At first glance, the ship does not look like part of the whaling fleet.
24:41But it is located in the area where the Yushinmaru 2 is supposed to be, according to the tracking device.
24:49A long red hull.
24:54There are cranes on deck. They could be for refueling.
24:57And there are a lot of tires on the side.
25:00I think we found a tanker.
25:06Until we get closer, it's impossible to say for sure.
25:10But it looks like some kind of tanker.
25:12They are heading south to meet someone.
25:14We don’t know who that is yet.
25:19We need the name.
25:33This is the Sun Laurel.
25:35Hi Paul.
25:36We found some tanker.
25:52What's his name?
25:53I think we should stick with it.
26:00Let's take a look at this.
26:02This is the marine patrol vessel Gojira. Can you hear me?
26:14This is the captain of the Sun Laurel.
26:26Good afternoon, Captain.
26:29I am the captain of the Gojira.
26:31What are you doing here in Antarctica?
26:35We are a tanker.
26:38Understood.
26:40Such a ship is a rare sight in Antarctic waters.
26:45Do you want to refuel a ship in the next few days?
26:49Perhaps.
26:51Understood.
26:53Perhaps one of the ships of the Japanese whaling fleet?
26:55I don't know that.
26:56Thank you for your cooperation.
26:57That may have already revealed everything.
26:59That may have already revealed everything.
27:00Perhaps.
27:05Understood.
27:06Perhaps one of the ships of the Japanese whaling fleet?
27:11I don't know that.
27:16Thank you for your cooperation.
27:21That may have already revealed everything.
27:31This is the ship.
27:32A tanker.
27:35The crew searches the Internet for information about the Sun Laurel.
27:39She quickly finds data about her previous route.
27:41Launched in Japan on December 4th. In Tateyamako.
27:54It all fits together.
27:58According to internet sources, the whaling fleet and the tanker left the same port on the same day.
28:05It is therefore likely that the ship is in the service of the whalers.
28:11Hello.
28:13Hey Paul.
28:15We got it.
28:16It is the tanker for the Japanese whaling fleet.
28:19They're screwed if they can't refuel their ships.
28:22So we have to keep these guys at a distance.
28:25If we don't get the Nishinmaru, that's our goal.
28:28We are moving as fast as we can so that we can pursue the tanker with all three ships.
28:32Captain Watson's plan is to prevent the whaling ships from refueling, forcing the fleet to end the season early.
28:43Therefore, the Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker are now making their way to the Gojira.
28:49Watson suspects that the two harpoon ships will continue to follow them in tow.
28:53This is just as good as finding the factory ship. We're hitting them right where it hurts the most.
29:07Then let’s step on the gas.
29:12Captain Lockhart McLean is convinced that the Sun Laurel is on a mission for the whaling fleet.
29:18Therefore, she also gets to enjoy the disruptive maneuvers with which the Sea Shepherds regularly irritate the other whaling ships.
29:27We want to prevent refueling, so the captain of the Sun Laurel has a few turbulent days ahead of him.
29:33He's probably never had anything like this before.
29:38Now things are getting uncomfortable.
29:50The Sea Shepherds want to test how the tanker's captain reacts to an aggressive maneuver.
29:58I'll pull over. Hold on.
30:03We let ourselves fall back a bit. The poor guy doesn't even know what's happening to him.
30:20He'll probably call his wife and say they're not paying me enough for this crap.
30:24I feel sorry for him, but refueling will be a little more difficult this time than usual.
30:33We'll just follow the guys now. The other ships are already on their way here.
30:39A good day for us.
30:41At daybreak, the entire Sea Shepherd fleet is reunited.
30:50They now want to use all their strength to prevent the whaling ships from being refueled.
30:54There's the Steve. There's the Bob. And the tanker.
31:08We drive around the Yushin and then continue looking for the Nishin.
31:13I hope we have news for you in the next day or two.
31:20Finding the tanker is a huge success for environmentalists.
31:28While the two larger ships pursue it, the Gojira sets out again to search for the factory ship.
31:35Hall wants us to search to the west.
31:39It feels good. The tanker was a great find, but now we're getting back to our real task: searching for the Nishinmaru.
31:48It may be only a few hundred nautical miles away, especially if they need to refuel.
31:53I think we'll find the Nishinmaru in the next few days.
31:56The Sea Shepherds are now pursuing the Sun Laurel. This is certainly a new situation for the tanker's crew.
32:07But Captain Watson wants to take advantage of this.
32:13The poor captain must have been totally scared when the ships came so close.
32:18We could board them.
32:19Paul will do everything he can to prevent the Nishinmaru from refueling. We need to get the ships home.
32:30Therefore, this has the highest priority at the moment.
32:32We wouldn't be here today if Mikey hadn't installed the transmitter on the Yushinmaru 2.
32:46And I guarantee you that the whalers are not happy right now.
32:49Fifty nautical miles further south, the Gojira continues its search. It is the only ship in the fleet without an escort.
33:01We're on the lookout for the Nishinmaru, because right now only we can find it.
33:08We are close.
33:16Let's find them.
33:18We have to.
33:24Low pressure on starboard and low speed on port.
33:29I'll take a look.
33:38I'm trying to fix the fuel system. The oil separators separate the water from the fuel. And they're full of water.
33:53Larry is trying to figure out what's going on. We need to find the problem first.
33:58There it is again.
33:59Fuel pressure extremely high.
34:06That doesn't make sense.
34:09There are conflicting error messages.
34:14The more time we take, the more time the Japanese have to do their thing.
34:22If the fuel pressure is too high for a longer period of time, they return to port immediately.
34:27Great repair suggestion.
34:32We're only three and a half days away.
34:37Hopefully Larry can do this.
34:45Can you start the engine again?
34:48Went out on its own.
34:50For a week now, only one of the two engines on the Gojira has been working.
34:55Now the second engine is also having problems and nobody knows exactly what the cause is.
35:07On the starboard side we had an engine check and low fuel pressure.
35:10On the port side too?
35:13Not good.
35:16We drive around with half an engine.
35:19Dangerous.
35:22Instead of catching the boys, we are completely out of action.
35:25Our starboard engine is on strike.
35:28Unfortunately, we can't repair it; we would have to go back to the harbor.
35:34We can still manage eleven or twelve knots. What do you think?
35:38You should fix this.
35:44Back to port?
35:46Yes, you have to lose the harpoon ships.
35:50Without Gojira, we're at a disadvantage. But she's no use to us as she is.
35:55Therefore, it is better if you have the ship repaired.
35:57The decision has been made. Back to Hobart.
36:11The Steve Irwin and the Bob Barker continue to pursue the suspected whaling fleet tanker.
36:20Behind them are still the two harpoon ships that have been following them for three weeks.
36:32The Yushin has changed course.
36:35Real?
36:39One of the two ships has disappeared over the horizon.
36:44This means one of our ships can go in search of the Nishinmaru.
36:51A unique opportunity.
36:53Captain Watson doesn't hesitate for long and decides to shake off the Steve Irwin's unwelcome pursuer once and for all.
37:07A harpoon ship is gone. But they could just be playing with us.
37:13Stay with the Sun Laurel, we'll look for the Nishin. Let's see what the harpoon ship does then.
37:21Okay, no worries. Good luck.
37:24The Steve Irwin is currently half a nautical mile behind the Sun Laurel.
37:31But to escape the radar of the harpoon ship, the Steve Irwin must move at least 15 nautical miles away.
37:38Are both engines running? Yes, they just started.
37:42We just learned that the Gujira had to return to port to repair its engine.
37:54This means the Nishinmaru and at least one harpoon ship are out there alone.
37:58That is why we are now hurrying to get into a favorable position to finally end the whaling season.
38:06How far is the harpoon ship?
38:13Two nautical miles. We're losing them.
38:16Yes, they follow the bob while we go on a different course.
38:20Four and a half? Yes.
38:34Four and a half? Yes.
38:45Six nautical miles.
38:47They disappear from the radar.
38:54How far are we now? Nine and a half?
38:56That's great. We're going to sit down. But don't open the champagne yet.
39:07How far is the harpoon ship?
39:10Eleven nautical miles.
39:13We need 15.
39:16So far everything is going according to plan.
39:19But the tide could quickly turn, as the harpoon ships have a much higher top speed than the Steve Irwin or the Bob Barker.
39:32The tension is rising. They're simply much faster than our ship.
39:37So we need enough distance, otherwise we'll never make it.
39:4013.6.
39:50Almost 14.
39:52We need more.
40:04They are no longer on the radar.
40:05The Yushin is gone.
40:08It's 15 miles behind us.
40:11You can't see them.
40:13Target lost.
40:15Not a second too soon.
40:18The campaign was successful.
40:20For the first time in three weeks, the Steve Irwin no longer has a personal escort and can finally concentrate on the search for the factory ship.
40:28It worked.
40:29With every hour, the chance that we will find the Nishinmaru grows.
40:34After shaking off our pursuer, we can finally search for the Nishinmaru.
40:40But it is only a temporary victory until we find it.
40:44At the moment we have no control over how many whales are killed.
40:49And our main goal remains to stop whaling in the Southern Ocean.
40:53Wait, I'll give you the pilot.
41:11They're not serious. Are they okay?
41:15Do you have more detailed information about the ship we are looking for?
41:28That's pretty small. Three on board, two on the ice.
41:33Yes, we'll search for them by helicopter. We're happy to do that, of course.
41:43That was the Maritime Rescue Center. It's an official search operation.
41:51A single call from New Zealand puts an end to the search for the whaling fleet's factory ship for the time being.
42:03The signal from an emergency radio beacon was received in McMurdersund.
42:08It is a 14-meter yacht of a two-man expedition.
42:11The guys wanted to go to the South Pole on quads. No one could reach the crew in the boat or on land.
42:21We are the only people in the Ross Sea who can help.
42:27Is no one else here?

43:29I wrote to my wife, that was it.
43:32A life raft.

43:42That's a terrible feeling.
43:51Oho.
43:53And that is a real feeling.
