00:00Antarctica. The conflict between the environmental organization Sea Shepherd and the Japanese whalers is escalating.
00:13The 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.
00:26The 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.
00:48Last time at Whale Wars.
00:50If the float breaks off, the ship could sink.
00:59Five crew members leave the ship.
01:02Where is it already on?
01:04Come to us.
01:06There could be another collision.
01:08We are at their mercy.
01:15They are getting closer and closer.
01:27We're bringing five crew members over.
01:34The delta is coming across, but because of the high seas we have to be very careful.
01:45Brigitte Bardot's portside boom was badly damaged in a storm.
01:50The ship is located 500 kilometers off the Australian coast and is in danger of sinking.
01:55Therefore, the Sea Shepherds are trying to evacuate as many crew members as possible.
01:59The Japanese whaling fleet's security ship has been following the environmentalists for two weeks and observing the rescue operation from close up.
02:11The Shonan was always ten or twelve kilometers away last week.
02:16Now they are coming much closer for the first time and we are completely defenseless.
02:19Defenseless choose of ourselves when we consider ourselves vulnerable.
02:21Are you ready?
02:22Let's tie it up the lines.
02:24Now a little more.
02:26OK.
02:34Got it?
02:35Go.
02:35Go.
02:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:40Uh!
02:41Oh!
02:45Uh!
02:46Uh!
02:47Uh!
02:49Tell Jono that the boat is on its way and they can send the people to the aft deck.
02:57Really dangerous.
03:06We have to go to the stern first.
03:07Because the Bardo is constantly rocking back and forth, people have to jump off the boat at exactly the right moment.
03:23And to do that, they have to climb to the stern of the ship. That's really dangerous.
03:37Will Shonan keep its distance?
03:49No, she's coming closer.
03:58You can see it clearly.
03:59The Brigitte Bardot is currently completely defenseless if the Shonan Maru tries to sink it.
04:10This is a really dangerous situation.
04:14The Shonan is getting closer. We may need to initiate a maneuver.
04:19You must initiate a maneuver.
04:21They stepped on the gas and drove towards us.
04:33Distance?
04:34One and a half kilometers.
04:51How far is the Shonan?
04:58One kilometer.
05:02We have to call them back.
05:06Shonan Maru, this is a rescue operation for a ship in distress. Please stay back.
05:13500 meters.
05:15They are getting faster and faster.
05:19Shonan Maru, keep your distance.
05:21You scumbags.
05:25The world is a vampire.
05:31Sent to drain.
05:35Secret destroyers.
05:39Hold you up to the plains.
05:44And what do I get?
05:47For my pain.
05:51In spite of the rain, do you steal the bread in a cave?
05:57In spite of the rain, do you steal the bread in a cave?
06:02As Chad Halstead tries to get his colleagues to safety, the Shonan Maru has reduced the distance from 10 kilometers to less than one.
06:25Everyone in the boat.
06:30Yes, Roger that.
06:36Distance.
06:39They stop. I see the entire port side.
06:43At the last moment, the Shonan Maru slows down and Chad Halstead is able to bring the crew members safely to Steve Irwin.
06:51I expected to be relieved once we got off the Brigitte Bardot.
07:03But I just thought, this is my ship, with which we have been through so much.
07:09It was strange to see it from such a distance.
07:112,200 kilometers further south, the Bob Barker is combing the whaling grounds in search of the whaling fleet's factory ship.
07:24But without the support of the helicopter there is no chance of reaching the Nishin Maru.
07:32Get the binoculars. That thing could be an iceberg, but I want to be sure.
07:37They are icebergs.
07:42There have been some setbacks in recent days. The cancellation of Brigitte Bardot hits us hard.
07:49And the fact that our other two ships have a companion doesn't make things any easier.
07:53But if the Steve Irwin comes here unchased, we'll be back in the race.
07:58Is someone climbing the mast?
08:01Starting right away.
08:03Heal yourselves.
08:07We need to slow down and turn to port.
08:18All right, thanks.
08:22The Steve Irwin continues to accompany the Brigitte Bardot back to Australia.
08:27The Sea Shepherds hope that the 1.2 million euro ship will make it to Fremantle.
08:32Although the rescue operation took a lot of time for the environmentalists, they can see something positive in the situation.
08:44In Australian waters, the crew has so far succeeded in shaking off their unwelcome pursuers every time.
08:51Whaling ships must stay 200 nautical miles away from the Australian coast.
08:55So far, the whalers have adhered to this.
09:00How far is the Shonan?
09:037 kilometers.
09:05Since the Bob Barker is also being pursued, the Steve Irwin must shake off the Shonan Maru 2 at all costs.
09:13We have to get rid of them. Otherwise, it's virtually impossible to stop the whalers.
09:18It would be a big surprise if they crossed the 200 nautical mile limit.
09:39You're not allowed to invest like everyone else?
09:42No.
09:42The Shonan Maru is officially a Japanese government ship. It's not just a ship, it's a big deal.
09:51I don't think the Shonan Maru 2 will follow us into Australian waters.
09:56But there is a risk that it will stick with us because it is registered to the Japanese government.
10:02All we can do is wait.
10:03The line goes along here, so they'll continue north over it.
10:14They drove over it. Write down the position.
10:44Now things are getting serious. An international faux pas.
10:53They don't care. The Japanese do what they want.
10:59We didn't expect them to follow us this far. It's pretty discouraging.
11:05For the first time, a ship from the whaling fleet followed the environmentalists into Australian waters.
11:18Apparently, the whalers want to accompany the Sea Shepherds to the port this time.
11:23Captain Watson therefore sends the dinghies to stop the security ship.
11:27James, here we go.
11:36The plan is still to stop them.
11:40The Delta will put things up and the Hamba will try to divert them to Maru 2.
11:44The engineers have made these kind of plugs that fit into their cooling water outlets.
11:55Then they either slow down or have to stop completely.
12:00This is our first time using this, but we hope it works.
12:03In the two weeks that the Maru has been following the ships, the second engineer Brian Race has developed a new tactic,
12:21to incapacitate the unpleasant companion.
12:27We want to ram this into your water outlet. The thing will wedge itself, and the rubber will conform to the pipe.
12:33And if the engine no longer gets any cooling water, it overheats and you have a problem.
12:47Now the other one. Distance: 6 kilometers.
12:54Hopefully we can disable her engine and then finally search for the Nishinmaru in Antarctica.
13:03The cooling water outlets on the Shonan Maru are underwater, so we need to go in there when the pipe is visible.
13:21Essentially, you have to put your hand between the boat and the ship. And any wave could push the boat into the ship.
13:26When the boy builds up the car.
13:28Where does the побande come from?
13:29The ship is a few years old.
13:30I am a few years old.
13:31I want to build the ship and the pool in the gang.
13:32little is the stand-up stand.
13:33I am a few years old.
13:34Don't let me get into the gang just yet.
13:36Let's fade the gang, fade the gang.
13:37Build the gang!
13:38I am a few years old.
13:39Check out!
13:42Come and, the guests.
13:43Oh!
13:44The gang, the gang!
13:45I am a few years old.
13:46There are the gangs.
13:47Let's build the gang,
13:49that's not for the gang.
13:50Daines Kühne.
13:52The operation went as planned.
14:22Now the Sea Shepherds must wait and see whether they have actually been able to stop the flow of cooling water and whether the security ship will fall back.
14:39The things are in. Both of them. One on the starboard side, one on the port side. Hopefully it works.
14:53Half an hour later, the boats return to the Steve Irwin. Now the crew has to wait and see if their plan worked.
15:00Is it slowing down?
15:07They are sailing parallel to us on the starboard side, but they are not falling behind.
15:14What happened?
15:17Everything unchanged.
15:25Now they accelerate to 13 knots.
15:28The whalers' security ship was apparently unfazed by the action. It continued to follow Steve Irwin.
15:37We've been trying to shake off our pursuer for quite some time. But no matter what we try, it just doesn't work.
15:50We're pretty frustrated right now. Things aren't looking good.
15:56How far is the Shonan?
15:59It was 20 kilometers earlier.
16:01They will wait for us.
16:02After 21 days at sea, the Sea Shepherds arrive in Fremantle.
16:10The Shonan Maru watches them from a safe distance while the two conservation ships dock.
16:15Captain Watson wants to set sail again with the Steve Irwin as soon as possible and search for the whaling fleet's factory ship.
16:29Stop engines.
16:30Stop engines.
16:31Stop engines.
16:34Peter Brown and Gary Dukes end their mission at this point.
16:38Two Australian Sea Shepard members welcome the exhausted crew and inspect the damage to the Brigitte Bardot.
16:55We've been looking forward to being back on dry land for five or six days. But it's not a pretty sight to see our ship so out of action.
17:04I didn't want to see you again so soon.
17:18Yes, I know. Now you're safe.
17:24You only realize how dangerous such a situation really is when you have time to think about it.
17:30I have time to think about it.
17:32Hello, girls.
17:34At that moment everyone realized how lucky we were to be safely back on land.
17:46We were disappointed that we were completely out of the running because the repairs will take three months.
17:53The loss of Brigitte Bardot is a bitter setback for the Sea Shepherds.
18:09Captain Renneckel and Simon Egger will end the campaign in the port of Fremantle.
18:13Bex Strausner, Nina Kobe and Kane Johnson will return to the Southern Ocean on the Steve Irwin.
18:23In the middle of the preparations, two officials from the Australian Port Authority suddenly appear.
18:28I've just been ordered to take down the skull and crossbones flag. It's probably some ridiculous bureaucratic matter.
18:39Who wanted that?
18:50A guy from the Port Authority. He told us to remove the skull and crossbones.
18:59Did he say crossbones? Then raise them. Because it's just a trident and a shepherd's crook.
19:10A yin-yang symbol made up of a dolphin and a whale. Feel free to look it up.
19:17The Sea Shepherd flag is a crossed shepherd's crook with a trident, representing Neptune's protection of the oceans.
19:24The skull represents humanity, which destroys everything. And we want to protect the oceans.
19:29The guys from the port authority asked us to take down the skull and crossbones flag.
19:45But the captain said it was just a trident and a shepherd's crook, which was the Sea Shepherd logo.
19:53I'll raise the flag again and then we'll see what happens. This is a truly ridiculous thing to do.
19:59No bones, just a trident.
20:07We have decided to end whaling here. There will always be obstacles, but we will overcome them.
20:14Captain Watson has come up with a new strategy to make this year's mission a success.
20:25He presents his risky plan to the entire crew to shake off the pursuer and finally go back to searching for the Nishinmaru.
20:33They'll ambush us again as we leave. But if we board the Shonan Maru II, we can escape.
20:45However, they must be Australians, because the government would not allow them to leave the country with them.
20:51So Australian officials would have to come and get them off the ship.
20:54Captain Watson hopes that the action will delay the whaling fleet's security ship long enough.
21:03A daring plan. But if it works, it could give Steve Irwin a significant advantage.
21:08Anyone who boards a ship not only risks their life, but could also end up in jail for an indefinite period of time.
21:21Two years earlier, Pete Bethune had boarded the Shonan Maru II.
21:30The Japanese have charged Bethune with five offenses.
21:34He spent 120 days in a maximum security prison in Japan, where he faced 15 years in prison.
21:42Environmentalists fear that the level of punishment could be even higher this time,
21:47because the Shonan Maru II is now an official ship of the Japanese government.
21:53It would be an international incident and therefore a big deal.
21:56It's pretty tough to be in a maximum security prison for a few years.
22:07But we are trying to save a dying ocean by any means possible.
22:17It might work, or it might not. We'll see.
22:20Three Australians who are not members of Sea Shepherd want to risk the daring action.
22:29They join the crew one and a half kilometers off the coast.
22:36I wish the boys a broken neck and a broken leg.
22:38Compared to the Shonan Maru, this is child's play.
22:48The fact that the three boys came forward deserves our greatest respect.
22:53We just thought they had some real balls.
23:00Well done. Not pretty, but good.
23:02They have already practiced for the Shonan Maru.
23:12My name is Simon Peter Fee and I have been committed to environmental protection since 1994.
23:18Peter Fee has been working for many years to protect Australian forests from large-scale deforestation.
23:23I heard that the Japanese whaling fleet is off the coast.
23:29And then we decided as a group that we wanted to help Sea Shepherd.
23:35Two of his long-time colleagues accompany him.
23:38Jeffrey Tuxworth from Perth and Glenn Pendlebury from Fremantle.
23:43At the beginning of my career, Paul Watson was my greatest mentor.
23:52I am proud that I can now help him with a Sea Shepherd campaign.
24:02Look at the photos of the blade wire.
24:09You don't want to put yourself in too much danger.
24:13We are willing to take a risk, but we also want to be well prepared.
24:20The Japanese are acting tough.
24:23But we don't have passports and we are Australian citizens in Australian waters.
24:28In the worst case, we end up in jail.
24:33These were taken an hour ago.
24:36The NATO wire is attached to these poles.
24:38The NATO wire is hanging on these things.
24:47We've now seen pictures of the blade wire and are thinking about how to get over it.
24:53I have real respect for that.
24:54This is intense before we even get started.
25:03There are sections without NATO wire.
25:06Maybe that's the key to success.
25:08Each of them must be convinced that they can do it before the action begins.
25:18But of course the security precautions are not without their limitations.
25:23They are already waiting for you.
25:25We are ready.
25:26The moon shines brightly.
25:39Maybe we should try it today.
25:42The advantage at night is that the boats are difficult to see.
25:50During the operation there is absolute radio silence and the lights on deck are off.
25:54Hopefully no one goes overboard.
26:02Could they go into the water at night?
26:04Are they impaled?
26:05Do they go to jail?
26:06Do the whalers throw them overboard?
26:08All factors say this is really dangerous.
26:11It doesn't.
26:12Everyone is nervous.
26:23In the military, such operations are planned for weeks.
26:26We only have a few hours.
26:30Someone could easily get seriously injured.
26:35Chad Halstead will lead the operation and call all members together for a meeting.
26:40Watch out for the metal spikes that reinforce the barbed wire.
26:47There is a risk that they will damage the boats.
26:51The weather isn't ideal and the operation is really dangerous.
26:57But it is our last chance.
26:59I don't know if we can even see the barbed wire in the dark.
27:08There are a lot of potential dangers, but we just have to take the risk.
27:16Once you're on the boat, we'll try to get as far away as possible.
27:22The boats set off in complete darkness and sail around the Shonan Maru.
27:38Ideally, they will not be discovered and the three men will jump aboard the security ship.
27:43Once you're on board, it's a big deal.
27:58The Japanese and Australian governments cannot afford for anything to happen to these boys.
28:04I could die or spend 15 years in prison.
28:20But I'm prepared for anything.
28:27The reason I am so committed to our planet is my children.
28:31My sons are the future of this planet.
28:34I want to be able to tell them one day that I gave it my all.
28:41Let's get started. Okay, good luck then.
28:49Everyone is really tense. A lot can go wrong on an enemy ship.
29:00In the worst case, there are injuries or deaths.
29:04I'll be glad when it's over.
29:12Full moon.
29:13Yes, perfect. Enough light, but not too much.
29:17The Sea Shepherds’ entire campaign may depend on this risky action.
29:33The boat crew is making final preparations. The tension on board is palpable.
29:38The Delta and the Humber will depart in the dark and travel to the Shonan Maru, 20 kilometers away.
29:47They want to approach from behind and try to smuggle the three men unnoticed on board the security ship.
29:54The Shonan tore a ship in half two years ago. It's the most aggressive ship in the fleet.
30:06The sun will rise in just 90 minutes, so the crew only has one chance.
30:14Where are our passengers? Stand here.
30:23The tension among the volunteers is palpable. But the mission must be completed quickly.
30:30Therefore, the three men will attempt to board the Shonan Maru 2 simultaneously. One from the Delta, two from the Humber.
30:38We are ready.
30:44Do you still have lines for the Humber?
30:51The three activists are on the move. And it's clear to see that they're very tense because the action is dangerous and a lot could go wrong.
31:08This is extremely difficult at night. We launch the boats in complete darkness so the whalers don't spot us.
31:22The entire operation is quite sacred. What we're doing here is absolutely not safe.
31:27There are armed security guards on the whaling ship and we have no idea how far they would go.
31:38Our job is done, but for the boys, it's just beginning.
31:54Everything now depends on the skill of the boat crews and the courage of the three boys.
32:00As long as the Shonen doesn't move, they could make it.
32:08Everything's okay on deck. I'm trying to track her on radar.
32:19We still have 18 kilometers to go. That's a lot without lights.
32:25It all depends on how fast the ship is moving and in which direction.
32:29The shonen hasn't changed course. Good.
32:42We're keeping an eye on them on radar to see if the boats have been spotted.
32:47It's exciting, but at the same time almost unbearable.
32:50You should be there in 25 minutes.
32:57When does the sun rise?
32:59It gets light at 4:40 a.m.
33:02Not much time.
33:13What is that?
33:14Suddenly there is a problem on one of the boats.
33:26What is?
33:34Chad, come here a minute.
33:36Less than an hour before sunrise, the Humber's engine breaks down, 8 kilometers from the Shonen Maru.
33:49The engine has died. Hopefully Chad can fix it.
33:56We're so close. Let's see what happens.
34:12These engine sensors are really shit.
34:18Light?
34:26No idea. Maybe someone on the Steve Irwin can help us.
34:41We have a problem with the engine on the Humber.
34:48Doesn't it start?
34:50It says engine check 4-2.
34:52They certainly won't discover you if you hang around there.
34:58Give us five minutes. We'll take care of it.
35:054-2 is the alarm code.
35:10This is not good.
35:12Everything went according to plan and then...
35:15I got it.
35:20Everything's electronic. No chance.
35:22We were only 8 kilometers away and now maybe it's all over again.
35:32This is really frustrating.
35:35A boat is paralyzed and soon the sun will rise.
35:39Either the Sea Shepherds change their plan quickly or the entire campaign is in jeopardy.
35:43I'm just looking at the manual.
35:52The sensors are all fully electronic.
35:55There's nothing we can do.
36:01Then everyone should go to the Delta.
36:02The two volunteers from the Humber are now supposed to transfer to the Delta.
36:09The Humber is left behind and Chad tries to get all three men onto the deck of the Shonan Maru at the same time.
36:15Call her.
36:22It is extremely important that we get rid of our companion.
36:27And we won't let this problem get us down.
36:29What's up, Beck?
36:38We want the Delta to continue.
36:42We will pick you up after the operation.
36:45The Humber now drifts helplessly at sea, without lights and without a functioning engine.
37:00The boat is in distress and we leave the boys behind.
37:04This goes against all the rules at sea.
37:06But we just have to break these rules now.
37:08We're supposed to take the boys to your boat. And then the Steve Irwin will pick us up.
37:23We leave a boat behind.
37:25If the delta gets damaged and sinks, we really have a problem.
37:33It was very dangerous. But we simply had to take the risk.
37:38Meanwhile, the crew on the Steve Irwin keeps an eye on the Shonan Maru 2.
38:06This is not good.
38:08They get faster.
38:14How fast?
38:16Four knots.
38:17Have you discovered them?
38:19I do not know.
38:20I don't have a good feeling about this. The sun is slowly rising, and those guys out there are in danger.
38:35She stays on the same course.
38:38This means the delta is moving further away.
38:42You really have to step on the gas.
38:43The whalers may have rubber bullets and tear gas.
38:58If they discover us, it will be a catastrophe.
39:00Another 200 meters. The sun is rising, and all I can think about is the small spot where the three boys can board.
39:15When I saw the barbed wire, I immediately remembered the photos from the port side.
39:27There was a spot where the bow of the delta barely fit. That was our only chance.
39:36That's 16 knots.
39:43They get faster.
39:57Then you know.
39:59How fast are they?
40:0117 knots. The delta is there.
40:04The Shonan has just really stepped on the gas and is driving in a zigzag.
40:13They probably want to shake off the delta.
40:16Then the boys would have told us something.
40:20Where are they?
40:21The delta.
40:21When we were on the port side, the guys on board immediately started yelling.
40:39I knew we didn't have much time left to drop our boys off and get out of there.
40:44.
40:45Where a little bit of edging.
40:47Cool!
40:48Cool!
40:49Cool!
40:51Awesome, awesome, front!
40:53Prisoners sing!
40:54Cool!
40:56Awesome, afood.
40:58Cool!
41:001, 2, 2...
41:03Auld, 40pt.
41:0598pt.
41:08Good customer service.
41:11very gladly.
41:12Next time at Whale Wars.
41:17They get faster.
41:19The Shonan Maru is supposed to pursue us at all costs.
41:24This way we'll never get to Nishin.
41:30They are armed.
41:38As soon as someone gets hurt, it's a battle.
41:42This is the enemy and now there is war.
