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.
00:35They, in turn, claim that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:39Both parties feel they are in the right and push themselves to the limit, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:50Last time at Whale Wars.
00:52This is what we have been waiting for.
00:54We found them before they killed an election.
00:57If we have the Nishin Maru, all whaling will be over.
01:04Do you see that?
01:06Is this the Nishin?
01:08No, the Yosin.
01:10The same ship as this afternoon.
01:13They have never pursued our fleet with two ships.
01:15They never pursued us with two ships.
01:18They are with us in the ship.
01:20They are with us in the ship.
01:20They are with us in the ship.
01:21They are with us in the ship.
01:22Subtitling by ZDF, 2020
01:52Have you met her?
02:05Yes, raise the alarm.
02:12We were rammed and are sinking.
02:14We need a crew out there.
02:22For two weeks now, the Sea Shepherds' new trimaran has been searching the Southern Ocean for the Nishinmaru.
02:33Now the Gojira must return to the Steve Irwin to refuel.
02:41The process is not without danger and only works if both ships reduce their speed extremely.
02:55The crew is experiencing déjà vu. The Adigil was also supposed to be refueled last year.
03:03But then she was rammed by a whaling ship and sank.
03:10Distance?
03:113.3 nautical miles.
03:15At the time, the whalers blamed the Sea Shepherds alone for the collision.
03:22I believe that the whaling fleet will be even more aggressive this time because last year they destroyed one of our ships with impunity.
03:29This means they have been given the green light to escalate.
03:31An investigation concluded that both parties were at fault for the collision.
03:41We're ready. We're about to change course.
03:47Ten degrees to port.
03:52You can now cast the line.
04:01The leash is out. Now we can slow down.
04:12He was at seven knots.
04:23The harpoon ship behind the Steve Irwin is gaining significantly more speed and is now racing towards the Sea Shepherds.
04:31They're up to something.
04:36They're coming straight towards us.
04:39The crew should get ready.
04:41The delta into the water.
04:50Will this never end?
05:01The leash is anti-A wrist, you see, the same thing happens and runs.
05:14I am the best at taking care of myself
05:27The boat is in the water.
05:49Understood. The Yushin is doing about 10 knots.
05:57Distance 1.8 nautical miles.
06:08Like a sparrow chasing an eagle.
06:17They turn away.
06:22They are probably afraid of the delta and are running away.
06:27Then we'll concentrate on refueling again.
06:32The danger to the Gojira has been averted for the time being.
06:36But at the moment things are not going ideally for the Sea Shepherds.
06:44The Gojira needs to be refueled.
06:46The other two ships have constant companions that they cannot shake off.
06:50And the Nishinmaru is nowhere in sight.
06:52If the environmentalists do not find the factory ship, things do not look good for the entire season.
07:02All hopes now rest on the Gojira.
07:07The Gojira serves primarily as a reconnaissance ship.
07:11She is supposed to find the Nishinmaru because she is faster than the Harpoon ships.
07:14But first, 7500 liters of fuel must be pumped from the Steve Irwin into the Gojira's tanks.
07:25The Sea Shepherds have never attempted this maneuver in Antarctic waters.
07:29It is not a normal refueling like in the harbor.
07:38You must attach a mooring line to your vessel.
07:40This ensures that they move at exactly the same speed as we do.
07:48The leash is at 11 o'clock.
07:52They just slowed down.
07:57The leash is to our left.
07:59It appears to be sinking and is now about one meter below the water surface.
08:10The crew only has one chance to pull in the line.
08:13Under no circumstances should she get under the ship, otherwise she could get caught in the Gojira's propeller.
08:20Your buoy is still underwater. It's not easy to pull up at that speed.
08:29I know it's difficult, but we can't drive over it.
08:35She is under the boat.
08:39Do you see the buoy?
08:40No, it's under the wheelhouse.
08:46Where is it hanging?
08:53That doesn't sound good at all.
08:59It hangs in the screw.
09:05Our propeller is disabled.
09:14I cut them in half.
09:18Is anything damaged?
09:32Hard to say.
09:33It was a sinking line and not a floating line.
09:36We disabled our own propeller.
09:39I'm really angry.
09:40This will haunt us for some time.
09:45For years, Sea Shepherds have been trying to block the propellers of whaling ships.
09:50This time the technology worked wonderfully, but unfortunately on one of their own ships.
09:56Boatswain James Brooke must now try to remove the line from the propeller by hand.
10:02Lars, can you help me?
10:04I can help myself.
10:10I need a metal saw with a string attached.
10:17And someone has to help me get dressed.
10:23Unfortunately, part of the rope got caught in our propeller.
10:27The Yushins are nearby.
10:28So we should get them out of there as quickly as possible.
10:34James Brooke not only has to make sure that his suit is waterproof,
10:38but also protect yourself well against the cold.
10:43First comes a warm suit and a pair of thick wool socks.
10:49Do you have the saw?
10:52Yes, with rope.
10:56Operating under these conditions is extremely risky.
10:59The water temperature is below zero.
11:04It is therefore extremely important that you wear a dry suit so that you do not get wet.
11:12I also wear a full-face mask to prevent water from getting on my face.
11:17And then I have a normal buoyancy vest and a compressed air tank on my back with a regulator.
11:21I have a lot with me.
11:35A signal buoy that I can inflate if I drift away.
11:39A knife and a dive computer.
11:41Unfortunately, the gloves here aren't that great.
11:43These are from a normal diving suit.
11:46But I don't think I'll be in the water for too long.
11:48I should be able to get this thing down in about ten minutes.
12:01My hands will probably get cold, but I'm not worried about that.
12:05This will be quick and fun.
12:10I am a divemaster and have worked extensively as a professional diver.
12:15The rope around the propeller could destroy the engines.
12:18So someone has to get into the ice-cold water and get the thing down.
12:22This is quite dangerous and tricky.
12:32At the moment the Yushin is keeping her distance, but we all know what happened to the Adi Gill.
12:36It definitely has to be done quickly.
12:38The water temperature here is well below freezing.
12:45Only because of the high salt content does the sea not freeze completely.
12:48Without a special suit, James Brooke would not survive ten minutes.
12:52If James Brooke cannot free the propeller, the Sea Shepherds will have to tow the Gojira to the nearest port.
13:12The rope is wrapped tightly around the screw at least twice.
13:36Cutting a rope like that on deck would take a few seconds.
13:41It was really difficult underwater and the waves were extreme.
13:43The Gojira was constantly lifted up and then slammed back down onto the water.
13:58In this sea state, I don't want to dive under a boat that's constantly moving up and down.
14:04You can easily injure your head there.
14:06Where are the Japanese?
14:17They're pretty close.
14:19After 15 minutes in the ice-cold water, Brooke gets into trouble.
14:27I suddenly panicked. I couldn't feel my hands anymore. Everything hurt, and I could barely hold the knife.
14:36It's just too cold down there. He wanted to cut the rope, but he couldn't hold the knife anymore.
15:06We can't possibly do without the Gojira because it's faster than the harpoon ships.
15:13That's why it's worrying when you can't get the boat running anymore.
15:20Brooke is under considerable time pressure. With a new pair of gloves and a saw, she hopes it will work this time.
15:26I knew there were still gloves from a dry suit on board somewhere.
15:32My hands felt like they had been crushed between two concrete blocks.
15:39Brooke desperately tries to get the rope off the propeller.
15:43The Yushin Maru remains nearby.
15:45What does the Yushin do?
15:53It's very close.
15:57The Sea Shepherds fear that there could be another collision like the one last year.
16:02I think the Shonan Maru 2 got rid of the Adi Gill last year because she was very effective.
16:17So it could easily be that they do the same with the Gojira.
16:23At the moment, the Gojira would have no chance of avoiding the harpoon ship.
16:32The biggest problem was the sea and my hands were freezing cold.
16:49I no longer believed that I could do it.
16:51But then I realized I could turn the screw to unwind the line.
17:07I knew I could only last another five or ten minutes.
17:21Once I got them down, it was just amazing.
17:34I was extremely relieved.
17:36Because the line was so heavy, it simply disappeared into the deep blue.
17:40A wonderful sight.
17:42I was just overjoyed.
17:47I heard everyone cheering.
17:50That was great.
18:00The propeller is free again.
18:02Now the Gojira can finally be refueled.
18:05This time the Sea Shepherds are using a floating line.
18:11What does the Yosin do?
18:15She turns away.
18:16I wouldn't do it again.
18:17I wouldn't do it again.
18:20We start with 5,500.
18:35Fifty nautical miles further south, the Bob Barker continues to search for the whaling fleet's factory ship.
18:41But the Sea Shepherds still couldn’t shake off their loyal companion.
18:49Therefore, the chances of them reaching the Nishinmaru are slim.
18:53We need visual contact with the Yosin.
18:59She's over there.
19:02They are still following us.
19:04There, it keeps flashing.
19:20We spotted a small dot on the radar and hoped it was the Nishinmaru, but unfortunately it quickly disappeared again.
19:27Since the Bob Barker is too slow to continue following the trail, Captain Cornelison requests air support.
19:42On the radar it looks like there is something 40 to 60 nautical miles southwest of us.
19:51That means a 150-kilometer flight and then I'm in the middle of nowhere.
19:55I should have enough gas to get back to Steve Irwin.
20:03Otherwise I end up on the Bob Barker.
20:12To find the fleet, the helicopter is the fastest and best method.
20:19The Bob Barker would take a few days to cover the same search area that we have with a single aircraft.
20:25It's a long flight, and I have to find my way back here. So let's hope the weather holds.
20:43The point on the radar is 150 kilometers away.
20:47Altman must therefore hurry so that the intended target does not escape again.
20:51All right, Red-Eye.
20:56All right, here we go.
21:06Come on.
21:15Oh, good Lord.
21:16Maybe it's the wetness.
21:25The extreme weather conditions in Antarctica also left their mark on the helicopter.
21:31We actually have no business being in Antarctica.
21:36In order to keep the machines running at all, we have to take very special precautions.
21:41Strangely, it was charging all night.
21:53So the batteries were full, but it didn't have enough juice to start the engine.
21:58Maybe the battery is faulty.
22:00I don't see anything.
22:15My gut feeling tells me that we'll find them if we go on a helicopter search now.
22:23Without the bird we are looking for a needle in a haystack.
22:30Quick question, can Chris start or not?
22:45The helicopter is not in the air.
22:47You are having technical problems.
22:51I have no idea what it is exactly, but without the helicopter it will be quite difficult for us to find the Nishin Maru.
22:57Are these 12-volt batteries?
23:06Yes.
23:08I'll expand it.
23:11Helicopter technician Mark Cullivan has a plan.
23:18Sometimes the simplest solutions aren't the worst.
23:21We needed a strong battery.
23:26So I just took the ones we use to move the platform and the doors.
23:35Black is negative, red is positive?
23:40Cullivan jump-starts the helicopter with the batteries for the hangar doors.
23:44The plan seems to be working.
23:53Ready, Chris?
23:55It's going to go wrong.
23:56Now it's running.
24:11Luckily we had jumper cables.
24:1225, 15.
24:16Let's go for 16.
24:17Open.
24:21Beautiful.
24:23Loving it.
24:26We did it.
24:39The batteries should fully recharge during the flight.
24:43But nobody can guarantee that at the moment.
24:45I hear you loud and clear.
24:59We are still 80 kilometers away from you.
25:02We're looking out for you.
25:07Chris is in the air.
25:08We're now letting go of the lines.
25:24Are you ready?
25:25I'm on standby.
25:30How's it going?
25:31The tank is full.
25:35Now the search for the factory ship can finally continue.
25:39But first the Sea Shepherds must get rid of their pursuers.
25:45How far away are they?
25:484.5 nautical miles.
25:50This way we'll never get to Nishinmaru.
25:53The Gojira is supposed to keep the harpoon ship busy and we'll make a run for it.
25:56As long as we're being pursued, we can't go to the Nishinmaru. Simple as that.
26:07We must use the Gojira against them.
26:10The Sea Shepherds’ speedboat is supposed to keep the whalers busy until
26:14until the Steve Irwin is outside the 20 nautical mile radar range.
26:19Gojira, Gojira.
26:20Listen to the Yushin, let's see what you can do.
26:28Then we follow the bags.
26:34Now the Gojira can finally take advantage of its speed.
26:42She is the latest addition to the Sea Shepherd fleet.
26:44Compared to the Adi Gill, the speedboat is twice as long and can accommodate twice as many crew members.
26:53Two 350 hp engines provide the right speed.
26:59Captain Lockhart McLean is at the helm.
27:02He has been a member of Sea Shepherd for ten years, but this is the first time he has been in charge of a ship in the Southern Ocean.
27:07After last season on the Steve Irwin, it's fun to be on a smaller, faster boat.
27:17Speed is the Gojira's biggest advantage.
27:20It easily manages 20 knots.
27:22This means we can easily outrun the harpoon ships.
27:29The Adi Gill had one thing in common with the Gojira.
27:32An outer shell made of carbon.
27:34This makes the ships very light and fast, but at the same time very fragile if a collision occurs.
27:48900 meters, we're catching up.
27:51Get into the suits.
27:52I'm looking forward to the deployment.
28:00I'm here because I want to shoot the guys with stuff and the Sea Shepherds want to show them where the hammer hangs.
28:05Give it to these people.
28:12Tomorrow, you stop on the track in the track.
28:16Leave it on!
28:17The crew uses a homemade air cannon and a slingshot to shoot butyric acid and red paint at the harpoon ships.
28:31This is how they want to divert the whalers from their course.
28:38They're turning away!
28:39Distance?
28:45Take a look.
28:47They turn away.
28:48We have to get off the radar.
28:52With every maneuver forced by the Yushinmaru, the Steve Irwin comes one step closer to its goal.
29:03They're turning away!
29:04They're turning away!
29:09They want to go back to Steve!
29:16Get closer!
29:17That was pretty close.
29:42It's not every day that you have a 1000 ton whaling ship right behind you, its bow rising over your stern.
29:55Distance?
29:56You in nautical miles.
29:58Still too close.
29:59The Gojira is said to have continued to suffer.
30:01Paul wants him to keep the Yushin busy so we can get away.
30:17Okay, let's try.
30:22How about a propfowler?
30:24Everything moves too much at the back.
30:26Then we drive the mooring liner in front of her bow.
30:30She should just change her course.
30:36The Sea Shepherds want to use the line to keep the whalers at a distance so that the Steve Irwin can escape and search for the Yushinmaru.
30:47Out with the propfowler!
30:48It works!
31:16It works!
31:18They're turning away!
31:31Fifty nautical miles south, the crew of the Bob Barker is waiting for news from Chris Oldman, who has gone by helicopter to search for the Yushinmaru.
31:41You can't see anything in the fog.
31:46Bob Barker Bridge, Helicopter.
31:48We have now reached the waypoint you gave us.
31:59Unfortunately, no trace of the Yushinmaru.
32:01But here is a very large bay in the ice.
32:05There could very well have been a ship there.
32:07Oldman believes that the remaining whaling ships are located in a large opening in the ice.
32:19An ideal place for whales looking for food.
32:23Unfortunately, Oldman cannot see the entire bay from the air because the fog is too thick.
32:27What does the ice look like in the east?
32:35Please repeat.
32:37What does the ice look like?
32:42This is the ice cream you...
32:44The signal is somehow disturbed.
32:59Can you hear me now?
33:00I'm sorry, I don't understand anything.
33:17The bay, bordered by ice floes, could be the Sea Shepherd's only chance to corner the Nishinmaru.
33:23Therefore, Oldman sets course for the Bob Barker to speak personally with Alex Cornelison.
33:29Are you fleeing?
33:53Distance?
33:5417 nautical miles.
33:56The Gojira has fulfilled its task.
34:01Due to its diversionary maneuvers, the Steve Irwin is now at the limit of the area still covered by the whalers' radar.
34:10If we keep going a little longer, the Steve can pull away.
34:21An engine has failed.
34:24On the starboard side.
34:26They are following us again.
34:45Oh Larry.
34:52The engine stops running at 1500 rpm.
34:55I'll take a look at it.
35:07The Steve Irwin is about to escape the whalers' radar range.
35:11Not a good time for technical problems.
35:14Unfortunately, we have to cancel the campaign.
35:21Our starboard engine is on strike.
35:23No idea why.
35:25But we had to let the Yushin go.
35:33The Gojira continues to fall behind.
35:35This means that the Steve Irwin has no chance of escaping the harpoon ship.
35:39The engine problems were a major setback.
35:48It was really disappointing.
35:49The Gojira's first engineer, Larry Rutledge, tries to find the cause of the problem as quickly as possible.
36:01In one fell swoop, the fastest ship in the Sea Shepherd fleet became the slowest.
36:06Meanwhile, Chris Altman has reached the Bob Barker, where he wants to consult with Captain Cornelison.
36:15What is the harpoon ship doing?
36:25That's far away.
36:27I hardly see it anymore.
36:29Keep an eye on it anyway.
36:34If we have the helicopter on board, the Yushin Maru 3 could come and damage it with its water cannons.
36:40Please come on board.
37:02Where did it look like they were getting closer to?
37:04At the moment the harpoon ship is still far away.
37:10But the Sea Shepherds fear that the whalers will try to damage the helicopter with their water cannons.
37:18So there's almost only ice here?
37:20Yes, there's only ice up here.
37:23And there is this bay.
37:25There is a lot of open water.
37:26Probably 40, 50 kilometers in diameter.
37:29So they could be here.
37:35The Yushin Maru could be there and we wouldn't have seen it.
37:39When you get back to Steve, Paul tells him to go to this side.
37:44Then they can only get out of here if they want to escape.
37:52They have become faster.
37:54I put a marker.
37:59I see them in the fog.
38:00They are coming towards us.
38:04There is always something.
38:10Last year they aimed the water cannon at the helicopter.
38:13That's why I'm being extra careful now.
38:17I just don't trust those guys.
38:19I just don't trust those guys.
38:24A little more incline?
38:29It should be on the port side.
38:38They are pretty close.
38:39Hurry up.
38:49What the hell is this?
38:51What is that?
38:5480 percent.
39:00Can you take off?
39:07It's about to start.
39:10There isn't much time left.
39:13If the helicopter is hit by the water cannons, it will be out of action for the rest of the season.
39:18And then it starts.
39:19And then it starts.
39:20And then it starts.
39:21And then it starts.
39:22And then it starts.
39:27At the last second, Altman takes off and races back to Steve Irwin.
39:37Potsi, come up here for a minute.
39:38Let a stern line into the water.
39:46About 20 meters.
39:47I am about 20 meters from the stones.
39:49OK.
39:55The stern line is intended to prevent the harpoon boat from coming too close to us.
40:00The plan worked.
40:21The Bob Barker has gained some leeway again.
40:30Hey, Potsi, give your crew the all-clear.
40:36I don't like the fog.
40:39Let Bob know.
40:40If Chris wants to come back?
40:44Yes, maybe he has to stay there.
40:47Tell him there is thick fog here.
40:49And we'll let you know as soon as it dissolves.
41:02Can you tell the helicopter that we have fog here?
41:07He's already on his way.
41:10The helicopter is up.
41:19Bob Barker Bridge, Bob Barker Bridge, helicopter.
41:28Bob Barker Bridge, Bob Barker Bridge, helicopter.
41:31Where the hell are they all?
41:50Chris, can you hear us?
41:54He can't hear us.
42:06He can't hear us.
42:06The Bob Barker Bridge, Steve Irwin Bridge, helicopters.
42:33The radio in the helicopter is broken.
42:40Therefore, Altman decides to fly back to the last known position of the Steve Irwin.
42:46But there is no trace of her anywhere.
42:50Bob Barker Bridge, Bob Barker Bridge, helicopter, Airband 118.
42:54That's bad.
43:08Next time at Whale Wars?
43:11I can't reach Steve.
43:13Where is the helicopter?
43:14We need to get away from the Yushin Maru 2.
43:19We need to find the factory ship because of the tracking device.
43:24You sneak up and fill up the transmitter.
43:28A mission impossible.
43:32Too good to be true.
43:34Let's get rid of the bags.
43:39Let go!
43:41I can't.
43:42Cut through!
43:45He was completely hypothermic.
43:47We were really in trouble.
