00:00Antarctica. The conflict between the environmental organization Sea Shepherd and the Japanese whalers is escalating.
00:15The conservation crew consists entirely of volunteers and is led by Captain Paul Watson.
00:22They 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.
00:48Last time at Whale Wars.
00:51A second ship. The Yoshimaru 2.
00:56A nightmare.
01:00The campaign ended without a new strategy.
01:06They wanted to hurt us with the grappling hooks.
01:15As soon as physical violence comes into play,
01:20there is war.
01:22The environmentalists try to paralyze the whalers’ harpoon ship with the help of the small boats,
01:35so that the Steve Irwin can finally break away.
01:38But they underestimated the men on board's propensity for violence.
01:41They attack the Sea Shepherds with grappling hooks and long wooden poles.
01:47Boatswain Brian Reis is hit in the face.
02:04I'm on course 277. The boats are now heading back.
02:26Strange.
02:41I can't hear you. Too much wind. Please repeat.
02:46Again.
02:55I don't understand you.
03:00I'll try it over the radio.
03:09Brian is injured.
03:10We need Alexa. There are injuries.
03:29They need to be treated.
03:34When I heard that someone was hurt, I felt really sick.
03:37So far we have always been lucky and there have never been any serious injuries.
03:45But we suspected that our luck would run out at some point.
03:49The world is a vampire.
03:56Subtitling by ZDF, 2020
04:26Who is injured?
04:40I don't know. It could be bad.
04:44They're wearing helmets.
04:48The boats return to Steve Irwin.
04:50I'm Brian from the hospital.
04:54Several crew members were injured.
04:57Brian's eye is completely swollen and his nose is bleeding. There's nothing worse than when it happens to a friend.
05:05In the middle of Antarctica, the ship's doctor Alexandra Konstantinescu is currently the only one who can help the injured.
05:25This is where you were hit? Can you move your arm normally?
05:35Unfortunately, there was only me between the seat and the duck hook. For a moment, I thought I was going to fall overboard because my arm got caught in the line.
05:42And it was attached to a 1000 ton harpoon ship that was going in the other direction.
05:50Brian Reis got it the worst.
05:55Does it hurt?
05:56Just a little bit down here.
06:01I was worried that Brian's brain might swell.
06:09Konstantinescu is a trained doctor, but her options at sea are limited.
06:15In the event of brain damage, there's nothing we can do here on the Steve Irwin.
06:21Then we would have to get him ashore as quickly as possible.
06:26Here is the report.
06:36Is everyone okay?
06:38It's just superficial.
06:40Brian was hit by a bamboo pole.
06:44His eyebrow and eyelid were scraped and he had a nosebleed.
06:47But it is not broken.
06:49I'll keep watching him anyway.
06:52Guillaume and Russell were hit in the arm.
06:56Experiencing the violence so closely shocked Allah a little.
07:05They just did it like that. It was really intense.
07:11Up close?
07:12We're trying to damage objects and disable their ship.
07:19But we would never try to hurt anyone.
07:22That would contradict everything we do here.
07:24Here's your Risch.
07:37When you see the seats, with the huge gouges in the wood from the grappling hooks, you can imagine what they could do to a person.
07:53In moments like these, you think about what you will take with you on your next mission.
07:57I expected the Japanese whalers to be even more aggressive this time.
08:05But the grappling hook thing was still surprising.
08:11The fact that we couldn't shake off our pursuer isn't good for the mood on board.
08:15This morning didn't go as planned. Now we may have to rethink our strategy.
08:26We never thought they would attack people. I'm genuinely shocked by how aggressive they were.
08:38The whalers don't care if they hurt anyone.
08:40We're in international waters. It's like the Wild West here.
08:45Nobody is arrested, there are no laws here.
08:50I don't know how the boat cruise is doing right now.
08:55Me, yes.
08:59You have taken us completely by surprise with this escalation.
09:05But I haven't given up courage yet.
09:16We are here because we have a clear mission.
09:21Brian wants to keep going. That shows how determined our crew is.
09:25The Japanese whalers may continue to try to hurt us.
09:38But we will persevere and take out these ships.
09:44Maybe this moment is the turning point.
09:46After two weeks, the Bob Barker returns to the whaling grounds without any pursuers.
10:05Two days earlier, the crew managed to shake off the Yushinmaru 3.
10:09Captain Cornelison escaped through Australian waters, which whaling ships are not allowed to pass through.
10:18They stop. The plan worked.
10:25The Sea Shepherds' ship is finally free again and can begin searching for the whaling fleet's factory ship.
10:34The Yushinmaru always sails along the ice and that is very close.
10:39I think we have a good chance of finding them here.
10:46The whaling season only lasts four weeks.
10:49The Sea Shepherds are slowly but surely running out of time.
10:57The whaling season lasts another month.
11:00Would be great if we could find the Yushinmaru after all the setbacks this year.
11:04The biggest setback came right at the beginning of the campaign, two months ago.
11:11The Sea Shepherds had already discovered the factory ship on its way to Antarctica.
11:16But the new helicopter pilot mistook it for one of the harpoon ships.
11:20Since then, environmentalists have not been able to locate the Yushinmaru.
11:28A few small icebergs.
11:31It's all ok.
11:33The Bob Barker is located in an area where the whaling fleet has often hunted in the past.
11:39The target object is a good 30 kilometers away from the Bob Barker.
12:05It's too fast for the Yushinmaru. Probably a harpoon ship.
12:13Maybe they haven't seen us yet.
12:19We play dead.
12:24This is how the Bob Barker looks like a large iceberg on the radar.
12:27If the environmentalists are pursued by a ship again, the Sea Shepherds' campaign will definitely be over.
12:35And now?
12:37We wait behind the icebergs and then hopefully they will lead us to the Yushinmaru.
12:44However, the plan only works if the whaling fleet does not discover the Bob Barker.
12:49Everything depends on this action.
13:04We have something on our radar.
13:08Almost certainly a harpoon ship.
13:09Right now we're waiting behind an iceberg, hoping they'll lead us to the Yushinmaru.
13:18Good idea. Let's launch the helicopter.
13:28Ken Gray immediately sets off for the supposed harpoon ship.
13:32The Bob Barker will remain stationary in position until the helicopter has more information about the target object.
13:42Ideally, it will lead the Sea Shepherds directly to the factory ship.
13:49There is no time to lose.
13:51If the harpoon ship discovered the Bob Barker, it would immediately change course to protect the factory ship.
13:59The mission is not an easy task for the pilot.
14:02The flight distance is over 200 kilometers.
14:06Never before have the Sea Shepherds dared such a long flight in Antarctica.
14:10Of course, the risk is high on a flight like this.
14:14But I would do anything to finally find the mothership of the fleet.
14:18Of course you're scared when you're basically flying into nothingness.
14:38You worry about radio communication, weather, visibility, fuel and distance.
14:43Because the Steve Irwin continues to move during the flight, Gray must be in constant contact with the crew so he knows where to land again.
14:53The ship is doing 12, 14 knots and is practically speeding away from me. But I'm prepared. Our mission is our top priority.
15:04Meanwhile, Chad Halstead is repairing the damaged boat.
15:10I'm preparing some patches for the delta. The grappling hook the guys from the Yushinmaru threw hit the float.
15:24And he completely ripped the seats apart.
15:26Repairs to the boats must be carried out directly on board the Steve Irwin.
15:36Crew members like Chad Halstead are forced to take care of things themselves while the Steve Irwin continues to search for the whalers.
15:44It's PVC, pretty sturdy. You can't tear it by hand. You'd need a sharp edge and a lot of force to cause that kind of damage.
15:57The grappling hook has torn an 8-centimeter hole in the float, which Halstead urgently needs to repair before the next mission.
16:21When you think about it in retrospect, the force with which the hook rushed through the boat and missed everyone.
16:26This really borders on a miracle.
16:31You don't even want to imagine what would have happened if he had hit someone on the head.
16:36Someone would definitely have been seriously injured.
16:50Now the boat is ready for use again.
16:53This is also intended to be a psychological message to the whalers.
16:59This way we show them that a few scratches can't stop us.
17:02Here's the helicopter. Still no visual contact.
17:20Helicopter pilot Ken Gray has been in the air for an hour and 15 minutes.
17:24It is the longest reconnaissance flight the Sea Shepherds have ever undertaken.
17:29Gray is currently 130 kilometers away from the Steve Irwin.
17:36Please fly another 20 kilometers.
17:41We should move even further away from the ship.
17:49But we need the fuel to fly back.
17:52We're really pushing the limits here.
17:56But we must take this risk to find the mothership of the fleet.
17:59Captain Cornelison continues to pursue the supposed harpoon ship.
18:14But he has to make sure that the Bob Barker is not discovered by the whaling fleet.
18:19If the Sea Shepherds discover the Nishinmaru now, there is a chance to save at least some whales.
18:24Actually, everything indicates that the Nishinmaru is somewhere around here.
18:32I think we'll find her soon.
18:35This could be our day.
18:39That's why we're here.
18:42Once we have found them, we thank the harpoon ship by radio.
18:54Gray must slowly make his way back.
19:02There is still no trace of the factory ship.
19:08The tank is now not even half full.
19:13He should come back.
19:20Ken Gray has no choice but to abort the reconnaissance flight at this point.
19:24He must now try to fly back to Steve Irwin as fuel-efficiently as possible.
19:33I need your coordinates.
19:39Five, seven, seven minutes west.
19:45I only understand five percent of what you're saying.
19:48Okay, the coordinates are five, seven minutes west, over.
20:02I don't understand anything.
20:06Strange.
20:06Helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
20:13Bridge, bridge, bridge.
20:17He is trying to reach us.
20:20Helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
20:22I was really worried about the pilot.
20:29If he doesn't get the coordinates, he can easily get lost.
20:33Helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
20:40You can hear him speaking.
20:41He's gone.
20:56The mood on the bridge is tense.
21:01Nobody says it, but everyone fears that things will end badly.
21:05Helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
21:16Are the other ships interfering with the signal?
21:19No idea.
21:24We haven't heard from the helicopter for 20 minutes and don't know what's going on.
21:30But everyone has in the back of their minds what could go wrong.
21:35We haven't heard from Ken in 20 minutes.
21:46Get the boats ready.
21:53Ken usually checks in every 10 minutes.
21:56After 10 minutes you start to feel worried.
21:58After 20 you have to assume that something has happened.
22:01After 30 minutes we will take the boats to the last known coordinates
22:06and look for a life raft.
22:20The crew of the Steve Irwin has had no radio contact with helicopter pilot Ken Gray for 25 minutes.
22:30Helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
22:34Gray took full risks on his reconnaissance flight and only turned back at the last moment.
22:40If he doesn't get the coordinates of the Steve Irwin soon, he'll be in danger of running out of fuel while afloat.
22:49Helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
22:51I don't have a good feeling because Ken is very security conscious.
23:04If he doesn't contact me, it could mean he's dead.
23:11Helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
23:14Helicopter, helicopter, bridge, come in.
23:26Here's the helicopter, can you hear me?
23:28Yes, can you hear me too?
23:30Yes.
23:32We had to fly lower because of the clouds.
23:35And then the radio went away.
23:36It is a huge relief that we now know that he is okay.
23:51I would still be grateful for your coordinates.
23:56Clear, 41 degrees, 37 minutes west.
24:04Okay, I'm on my way.
24:06Although the helicopter is safe, it was unable to provide Bob Barker with any information about the Nishinmaru's position.
24:20The crew now hopes that the harpoon ship will lead them to the factory ship.
24:24We wait until we have visual contact.
24:27If they really are, hopefully we'll see the Nishinmaru soon.
24:30Today we get them.
24:42It would be great if we could send the Nishinmaru home today.
24:51Now we should see her.
24:52The ship leaves the ice field.
24:57Benjamin Potts climbs into the crow's nest to clearly identify it.
25:01At 5 o'clock.
25:16It is not a whaling ship, but a fishing boat.
25:22What a crap.
25:27That sucks.
25:32This ship will not take the Sea Shepherds to the mother ship of the whaling fleet.
25:37The disappointment on board is great.
25:42That would be good.
25:43We were so close.
25:56We saw a ship on radar and thought it was the Yushin.
26:03But unfortunately it wasn't the Yushin, but a fishing boat.
26:06That's really bad.
26:07The days pass and the Sea Shepherds have no clue where to look for the Japanese whaling fleet.
26:23Unfortunately, it is not a harpoon ship.
26:25I'm sorry.
26:27But it is now even more important that we do everything we can to find the Nishinmaru quickly.
26:37We couldn't have gotten worse news.
26:48Maybe whales are dying out there right now.
27:01Really frustrating.
27:03In addition, the Steve Irwin still couldn't shake off its persistent pursuer.
27:15Steve Irwin, this is him speaking.
27:23Thanks for the info. That's really disappointing.
27:27That's really disappointing.
27:28It's not a harpoon ship.
27:39It's not a harpoon wessel.
27:48It's really sad that we don't even know where the Nishin is and the whaling fleet is killing whales somewhere in the Southern Ocean.
27:54Everyone hoped that we could end whaling once and for all.
28:00And suddenly that hope died.
28:04That's pretty intense.
28:05It's sad and frustrating.
28:19Currently, we don't know if we'll even find the Nishinmaru this season.
28:23There's something over there.
28:44That's four or five.
29:00I have never seen whales.
29:11I am completely speechless.
29:12I am truly speechless.
29:13That's why we're here.
29:30I'm not frustrated.
29:44Two of the three whaling ships spent a lot of time shadowing us and did not kill any whales during that time.
29:49They'll keep going. We just have to stop them.
30:00They are following us.
30:02Therefore, it is justified if we try to shake them off.
30:06And that's exactly what we're doing now.
30:09All boats into the water.
30:13The campaign is coming to an end.
30:16The Sea Shepherds don't have much time left.
30:18We get the boats and the jet ski ready to finally shake off the Yushin.
30:26Now we're giving it our all one last time to stop them.
30:32As usual, Chad Halstead will take over the controls in the Delta and lead the operation.
30:39The campaign will soon end.
30:42That's why we have to stop them now.
30:44We simply have to give it our all because the whalers are in control right now.
30:54Josh Georgie takes over the Humber.
30:56James Brooke the Zeppelin.
30:59We are like a battered boxer.
31:02And now we show them that we will not give up without a fight.
31:10Now the jet ski?
31:11The environmentalists have their backs against the wall.
31:19Bex Strausner tries to distract the harpoon ship with her jet ski while the boat crews try to disable it.
31:25The bridge has to let them know. I don't have a radio with me.
31:36I have flares, but no radio.
31:42I do think the jet ski is useful.
31:44If they point their water cannons at that instead of at the boats, it will help the guys throw out the propfowlers.
31:49The plan is to distract the crew on the whaling ship with the jet ski.
31:59The Sea Shepherds are confident that the whalers will take the bait.
32:06The Shonen Maru II was modified a few years ago with the help of a jet ski.
32:12That's why the crew will keep an eye on Beck. But he's only meant to distract them.
32:19The Sea Shepherds have prepared numerous propfowlers.
32:37They must finally take out the Yushin Maru II so that the Steve Irwin can escape.
32:43Now they're stepping on the gas.
32:44I was afraid to go to Yushin again.
32:55Last time it was very clear that their only goal was to hurt us.
33:01But in this war, nothing is given to you for free.
33:03In the last attempt by the Sea Shepherds, the crew of the Yushin Maru II fished the propfowlers out of the water using grappling hooks.
33:17Therefore, butyric acid bullets and smoke bombs are now intended to ensure that no crew member remains on deck.
33:23Oh, come on.
33:51We want to confuse them so they can't concentrate on the other actions.
34:09I believe we can stop them with the Propfowlers.
34:11Becky Boy, that looks good.
34:27Beck kept them busy. The crew always ran to wherever the jet ski was.
34:33And the water cannons were always aimed at him.
34:36In the meantime, the boats were able to position themselves perfectly to cast the propfowlers.
34:44Phase 2 of the operation has begun. The boats are launching their propfowlers in front of the ship.
34:50The boats cast their propfowlers in front of the ship.
35:20The Steve Irwin will remain nearby to assist in case of emergency.
35:47Only when the harpoon ship is out of action does Captain Watson want to go to the Bob Barker as quickly as possible.
35:54Did it work?
35:56Then we would have heard something.
35:58I realize we can't permanently cripple any of these ships. And we don't want to.
36:05We just need a little time to get rid of them.
36:11We managed to do that last year and we will try again this year.
36:16We have to stop them.
36:18We have to stop them to get ahead of them again.
36:20It is always difficult to say how many Prop-Pollermanns there are.
36:50Maybe one will be enough, or maybe you need nine. It all depends on where it gets caught in the screw.
37:00You never know how effective these things are.
37:09I drove over, and there they were, standing right in front of me. It was pretty intense, because I knew what they had done to our boys.
37:20It's slowly becoming a real war.
37:30You should see that I mean it.
37:32Did he fall down?
37:46Did he fall down?
37:59When we got to Yushin, all I saw was an empty jet ski. Beck was nowhere to be seen.
38:13No one knew what had happened. Perhaps he was unconscious.
38:17There was just a jet ski without a driver.
38:21I have the ski and I didn't see any rider.
38:23I have the ski and I didn't see any rider.
38:25Subtitling by ZDF for funk, 2017
38:55I fell down and the water was freezing. My face immediately went numb and my boots and gloves filled with ice-cold water.
39:08But you still have to quickly swim back to the jet ski and out of the water.
39:19He's fine.
39:25Do you want to go back? No, I'm staying. I don't feel anything anymore anyway.
39:37The boat crews only have one propeller left. But, as they say, the best comes last.
39:51What about the Kevlar leash? I have no idea.
39:56The Sea Shepherds have one last trick up their sleeve to block the ship's propeller: a rope made of particularly durable plastic.
40:07We experiment with different materials because normal lines are simply cut up.
40:17Hopefully the Kevlar leash will work.
40:19The Kevlar line is ready. Josh Georgie brings the Humber into position. This is the Sea Shepherds' last chance to stop the harpoon vessel.
40:42The Kevlar line is ready.
41:12The Kevlar line is ready.
41:42if their harpoon ships had to tow it home from the whale sanctuary in the Southern Ocean.
42:06From up here it looks as if the Yushin has stopped.
42:12Finally, after weeks of patience, the Yushin is paralyzed.
42:26That feels really good. And that's exactly what everyone needed.
42:31Now we have the chance to get out of here.
42:35Come on, faster!
42:35Okay, faster!
42:42Fantastic, like David and Goliath.
42:50Now the Yushin-Maru is out of action and we can finally search for the Nishin-Maru.
42:54Next time at Whale Wars.
43:13We will win.
43:17What is that?
43:18Hopefully the Nishin-Maru.
43:20We have something they don't: the iron will to end whaling.
43:28They only care about money.
43:29Profit.
43:47Thank you.
