00:00A battle is raging in the Southern Ocean.
00:09The environmentalists of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, led by Captain Paul Watson, intervene to stop Japanese fishermen from whaling.
00:19Sea Shepherd accuses them of illegal commercial whaling and thus of violating international law.
00:25The fleet, however, claims to be catching the whales solely for research purposes.
00:30Both see the law on their side. 35 animal rights activists working for the whales.
00:38What happened so far.
00:40We're about to engage the whaling fleet. Visual contact. It's the Yushin Maru 2.
00:49If we get two people on board and take them hostage, Australia will have a diplomatic problem.
00:55It was very important to me to stay true to my beliefs.
01:02You can die doing this. Anyone who doesn't accept that has no business being here.
01:05Japan refuses to release two activists who altered a whaler.
01:21They reacted exactly as planned.
01:24Once the ship with Giles and Potsi on board was out of sight, there wasn't much we could do for them except generate as much media interest as possible.
01:44We live in a media world. The only thing that matters is what's on TV.
01:52Minutes after the press release was published, the phone didn't stop ringing.
01:56That must have rung a thousand times.
02:05Steve Irwin.
02:06Steve Irwin.
02:07Steve Irwin.
02:07Steve Irwin.
02:09The phones are no longer silent.
02:12Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson is known for his provocative actions to actively disrupt whaling.
02:19This time his plan is more aggressive than ever before.
02:21The media is our sharpest weapon. Only with its help can we stop whaling.
02:28That's why they are so important, even though I don't like them.
02:34Just as Paul expected. He's phenomenal when it comes to dealing with the press.
02:41They tried to throw Benjamin Potts overboard at full speed. He had to fight back fiercely.
02:48He presented it as if we just wanted to convey a message.
02:51And the two of them are now held hostage for it.
02:55Peter Brown, the first officer, is curious about the captain's next move.
03:02There probably won't be any negotiations. Paul remains extremely cool under pressure.
03:06In such situations he is superior to everyone.
03:09In doing so, he motivates people all over the world to take part in these actions out here.
03:13For example, me for 25 years.
03:15Not everyone can do that. My ex-wife couldn't even get me to take out the trash.
03:30Future generations will surely hold Paul in high esteem.
03:33In 100 years, people like us won't be looked at askance.
03:37People will see us as those who changed the world.
03:43Today people don't like us very much because we get on their nerves.
03:47But our descendants will be very happy that someone tried to save our planet.
03:51And that is from ourselves.
03:56Peter Brown is Paul Watson's right-hand man. Jack of all trades.
04:04He ensures that everything runs smoothly on board.
04:10I have to make sure everything runs smoothly here. Whatever needs to be done, I'll do it.
04:21Of course, we're concerned for their safety. They were practically kidnapped.
04:27You won't get on TV with just facts and figures.
04:31Saying, oh, they're killing the whales is not enough.
04:34But if people risk their lives to protect animals, then that's a story.
04:39Environmentalists pursue Japanese whalers.
04:41The conflict on the high seas is escalating.
04:44Japan calls the activists pirates.
04:46The protesters claim that their men were kidnapped.
04:48The incident occurred in an election protection zone designated by Australia,
04:55which, however, is not recognized by the Japanese whalers.
05:00I told the journalists, this is your cover story, you have to run it whether you want to or not.
05:07Like in a Hollywood movie.
05:10We're making headlines.
05:11The world is a vampire
05:15Sent to turn
05:20Secret destroyers
05:24Hold you up to the flames
05:28And what do I get
05:31For my pain
05:35Despite all the rain
05:39Don't you feel the burning of pain
05:42Despite all the rain
05:45Don't you feel the burning of pain
05:48Somewhere in the vastness of the Southern Polar Mir
06:01Benjamin, Pottsy, Potts and Giles Lane are still being held aboard the Yoshimaru 2.
06:07The Japanese whalers describe the two as terrorists who entered the ship without permission.
06:12The Sea Shepherds, on the other hand, see the action as a successful contribution to the protection of whales.
06:19Pottsy and Giles have been held hostage for 24 hours.
06:23So far, the Yoshimaru has not responded to any of our radio messages.
06:28We're waiting for further news. However, there's no ship in sight, nothing on the radar.
06:33Sea Shepherd's most experienced sailors, Malcolm Holland and Wilfred Verklei, are trying to track down the ship on which Potts and Lane are being held.
06:46We're heading west for now.
06:48Mel is an absolute professional, he learned this.
06:55Everyone loves Mel. No one knows how to run a ship better.
06:59How to steer a ship.
07:03From aboard the Steve Irvin, however, the men have little chance of locating the Yoshimaru 2.
07:13We are now trying to find them again by helicopter.
07:16OK.
07:33When we lost her, she was heading in this direction.
07:49The question is, how long did she stay on course?
07:54Could be anywhere.
07:55They'll start hunting today or tomorrow because they know we're no longer around.
08:01If we return, they'll stop immediately. That's why we're here.
08:08But the two do not yet know the exact position of the Japanese whaling fleet.
08:12Wilfrid is an experienced sailor and has crossed the ocean many times.
08:22My watch is from 12 to 4, Wilfrid's from 4 to 8.
08:26In the months he has been with us, we have gotten to know each other well, respect each other, and know what to expect from each other.
08:33I have been sailing since I was twelve, on all kinds of ships.
08:44I sailed around the world for three years and am good at organizing.
08:53At first, however, the men's search is not crowned with success.
08:56The helicopter pilot can't see anything anywhere.
09:09Suddenly a white spot on the horizon, about eight miles away.
09:13The ship we're looking for, the Yoshinmaru 2?
09:16Pilot Chris Altman has finally tracked down the Japanese whaler on which Benjamin Potts and Giles Lane are being held captive.
09:32I can clearly identify the Yoshinmaru 2.
09:37Sighting of the Yoshinmaru 2, understood.
09:39No one on deck can see any of the hostages.
09:51Understood.
10:02Suddenly, a warning message sounds. Fuel is running low.
10:09I come back to the ship, I don't have much fuel left.
10:18Bridge here. What course is the Yoshinmaru 2 taking?
10:22Course is 1, 2, 0.
10:26Chris Altman has no time left. He has to turn around immediately. The Yoshinmaru is pulling away.
10:36Everyone is thinking about Potts and Giles right now.
10:38It was very important to me to stay true to my beliefs and finally do something that matters.
10:54It's very noticeable when someone like Potts isn't there.
11:01The second of the hostages, Giles Lane, is also sorely missed.
11:05For some on board he is like a brother.
11:08We must take responsibility for ourselves instead of leaving it to the politicians.
11:21I share this cabin with Pottsi. He usually sleeps downstairs.
11:25But since he's not coming back anytime soon, I'm moving in there for now.
11:28It's much easier to get in and out downstairs.
11:30Of course I miss her. The mood on board is pretty subdued. Many people are thinking about her.
11:39However, the longer they are on the Japanese ship, the worse things get for the whalers.
11:43And that's why we're here.
11:45The guys will definitely pull it off so that it makes a big splash and isn't in vain.
11:49The whalers are here solely for profit. But my crew of volunteers is concerned about the whales' survival.
11:58Whales, the largest creatures on the planet, feed on the smallest of all, plankton.
12:18In summer, the large marine mammals migrate to the Southern Ocean, one of the most plankton-rich waters in the world, to feed.
12:26That's why you find so many of them here.
12:30I am surprised that despite the mass slaughter by humans, there is still life in the oceans.
12:38The extinction of an entire species is simply unforgivable.
12:48Captain Watson, a legend of the environmental movement, is famous for his radical strategies.
13:01He works late into the night to attract media attention to his controversial campaign.
13:07I don't think they can be convicted of piracy for this action.
13:12Captain Watson has not slept since the incident began.
13:15It's a quarter to two in the morning, no problem.
13:23It took more than 24 hours for him to lie down. He's like a machine.
13:28Sometimes we really have to force him to go to bed. But right now, he's still fully there.
13:35So far we do not know where they are or what the whalers plan to do with them.
13:45There was a lot of media interest. But the call we were all so eagerly waiting for never came.
14:02And that was the one from the Japanese ship that held our people captive.
14:05These are self-pirates. They are poachers because they kill whales illegally.
14:15I spent six months hunting elephant poachers in East Africa.
14:19These aren't that different from those.
14:22That's why we want to stop their illegal activities.
14:24One moment please, I'll pass it on.
14:37It's you.
14:38These conditions are not acceptable to us.
15:01We hear from them.
15:08They say we can get them back if the ship stays here and we go out the ten miles in the dinghy.
15:15No helicopter, no photos, no film.
15:18We won't go into that, it's ridiculous.
15:23I wouldn't send a boat ten miles somewhere without having control over it.
15:30If they want to give us back the people here, we'll take them.
15:32But we won't give in and say we won't interfere with your election hunt any longer.
15:37That would be blackmail.
15:39I was unable to comment on the conditions for the handover.
15:47For us, whales really are our priority.
15:53I would have loved to give in to get her back.
15:58But the most important thing is to stop the slaughter of whales.
16:01Giles and Potts knew the risk. Nevertheless, we must, of course, do everything we can to ensure they return safely.
16:10To me, they are just two sacrificial lambs on the media altar of the Sea Shepherd campaign.
16:16We can come here every year and do everything in our power.
16:25We will not stop the killing of whales permanently.
16:27Governments must intervene, otherwise the slaughter will never stop.
16:3148 hours have passed since the incident began.
16:40The Sea Shepherds learn that their hostage-taking ruse worked.
16:44The confrontation between Japanese whalers and environmental activists in the Southern Ocean is causing serious diplomatic tensions between Australia and Japan.
16:57The federal government is forced to mediate.
17:01The speedy and safe return of Potts and the British to the Steve Irwin is of absolute priority.
17:08However, Japan is imposing conditions, for security reasons, it is said.
17:15According to Sea Shepherd, the activists are to leave the whaling area and send a dinghy to a point 10 miles from the mother ship.
17:22The handover will then take place there.
17:26All those involved should exercise restraint so that no human lives are endangered.
17:32Prime Minister Kevin Rudd currently has to negotiate with the Japanese at the highest level.
17:39Now it becomes a government matter.
17:47Japan and Australia negotiate a compromise.
17:50The Australian customs ship Oceanic Viking is to transport the two activists from the Yushinmaru II to the Steve Irwin.
17:57Wonderful, thank you very much.
18:05Customs handles the transfer so that neither captain can make any demands on the other.
18:12This way we are not restricted and can continue to demonstrate against whaling.
18:16And we get Giles and Potts back.
18:17This is also great because it means we get Giles and Potts back.
18:27The following night, the two detained men are handed over to the customs ship.
18:50The Oceanic Viking then sent us the coordinates where we should pick them up again.
18:57The Australian government gives Sea Shepherd seven hours to reach the handover point.
19:04Little time for a long distance.
19:11I was just reporting our position to the engine room by telephone when I suddenly spotted a harpoon boat very close by.
19:17They probably knew exactly where we were. They didn't want to hide, they wanted to annoy us.
19:32The Yoshinmaru 2 is only about four miles away.
19:37Secure?
19:40Apparently they just dropped off our people here and are now on their way back to the rest of the fleet.
19:45As I imagined.
19:59We could strike again immediately.
20:04If we launch our delta dinghy now, we will be back on board in 45 minutes.
20:08We'd never catch them otherwise, but now they're right in front of us. If it were up to me, we should act immediately.
20:19If we really want to stop whaling, we must leave no stone unturned.
20:25And that includes neutralizing the whaling bosses.
20:27First Officer Peter Brown wants to attack the ship directly.
20:35However, Kim McCoy fears that this might cause them to miss the meeting with the Oceanic Viking.
20:40By the time we get there, it's dark. It's already dusk.
20:45It's four hours to the handover point. The government has given us seven, leaving three to spare.
20:51Our chance to attack. Let's do it.
20:55We shouldn't do anything until we get them back on board.
21:04Paul was asleep at the time. He had probably been on his feet for 50 hours beforehand.
21:10I'm going to wake Captain Watson now to see what's going on.
21:19While Kim McCoy is getting instructions in the captain's cabin, the men on the bridge are discussing whether or not to launch an attack.
21:27Paul Watson now has to decide. Does he want to risk missing the handover of his two crewmates and instead attempt a night raid in the icy waters?
21:46No one expected what followed. The captain left the decision to First Officer Peter Brown.
21:52I don't think he's fully awake. When I asked him to make a decision, he just said Peter Brown will sort it out.
22:04Paul was asleep because he'd been awake for 36 hours or more. So I was in charge on the bridge.
22:14Peter immediately decided to launch the dinghy, despite the twilight.
22:17I think the risk is worth it. After all, we're here to disrupt the whalers.
22:27Despite the risk of missing the surrender of Potts and Lane, Peter Brown orders the attack.
22:34The risky nighttime maneuver could be life-threatening for the crew of the dinghy.
22:39The plan was to strike quickly and return immediately because it was already getting dark.
22:50We heard four hours in which we had to fight not only against the whalers, but also against the approaching darkness.
22:56They're getting ready. Who's on board?
23:08Dave, Ricky, Chantal.
23:11It's a good team.
23:12I'm so excited and can't wait for it to start.
23:20As a boatswain, I am responsible for the lives of my crew.
23:25But actually for everyone on deck.
23:30I'm a little nervous because I don't know exactly what the plan is.
23:33Typical Sea Shepherd.
23:38The final preparations are being made in a hurry.
23:41The attack weapons are butyric acid bombs and an extra-strong rope designed to get tangled in the whaler's propeller.
23:54Helicopter is ready for use.
23:57After extensive testing, pilot Chris Altman is convinced that the damaged rotor blade is stable enough to fly the mission.
24:05The helicopter is used to coordinate the nighttime attack from the air.
24:15The equipment is checked again.
24:17A defective radio or dead batteries could jeopardize the entire mission.
24:22Because it's dark, we only have one attempt. Quickly get in, get rid of our stuff, and go back.
24:33Under the right conditions, such a nighttime raid can be really effective.
24:39He seriously confuses those being attacked.
24:44Ready for action.
24:45One attack and back.
24:46Peter, we need you on the bridge immediately afterwards.
24:55Peter Brown is in command?
25:01The Yushin Maru is ahead of us, approximately 1 o'clock to starboard.
25:07We're giving them some tinder now because they were pretty bold.
25:10We're not frolicking on a quarry lake here, but sending our people out into the night in an inflatable boat to take on a whaler.
25:23This is really dangerous.
25:24I couldn't believe they were actually going through with it. The risk of getting hurt was huge.
25:40Get Peter Brown, he's in command.
25:59Cool.
25:59I don't know Peter Brown's seafaring background, but I do know that he has been involved in Sea Shepherd campaigns for years.
26:10For decades, perhaps. Whatever that means.
26:15There were serious concerns within the crew as to whether Peter Brown was the right person on the bridge.
26:24Chris will be leaving soon. We'll follow the boat.
26:26The dinghy must reach the whaler before sunset.
26:3420 minutes later, Chris Altman gets on.
26:39It's great when it finally starts.
26:46Dusk falls faster than the men would like.
26:52Do you still see them?
26:56Even with binoculars the delta can no longer be seen.
27:04We lost them.
27:10The bridge radios Chris Altman in the helicopter to find out if the dinghy has already reached the Yushinmaru.
27:16The answer hits the crew like a blow.
27:28The boat and its crew disappeared without a trace.
27:35Delta Boat, Delta Boat, Bridge.
27:39Delta Boat.
27:41Delta Boat, Delta Boat, Delta Boat, Bridge.
27:44Just half an hour after the attack began, the worst of all fears came true.
27:52Now we have really lost them.
28:00In a few minutes the last daylight will be gone.
28:03Chris Altman searches the area again.
28:09Nothing.
28:11Peter Brown's nighttime blitz appears to end in disaster.
28:21Then finally the redeeming news.
28:24The helicopter pilot found the Delta again.
28:26But in a completely different place than expected.
28:30He sees her.
28:36The men have strayed far from the course.
28:40Altman desperately tries to establish radio contact.
28:43I tried again and again.
28:54Didn't know if her radio was broken or something else was wrong.
29:04No one on the bridge can explain why the boat isn't responding.
29:07They've gone completely off course, in the snow and cold, and we haven't heard from them.
29:29All attempts to make contact fail.
29:32Finally, Chris Altman even tries hand signals.
29:37But no matter what the men do, the boat crew does not react.
29:47I had to get back to the ship. It was getting dark quickly.
29:50I can do a lot of things, but I can't fly a helicopter over the ocean in the pitch black of night.
29:57There are only a few minutes left until everything is shrouded in darkness.
30:01Altman is forced to turn away.
30:03The activists in the Delta are on their own.
30:08They have no idea that they are going in the wrong direction.
30:13Peter Brown turns off the lights on the bridge so he can see better and further in the darkness.
30:20Delta, Delta, Delta, this is Bridge.
30:22Delta, can you hear us? Call us on the satellite phone.
30:26We lost contact.
30:27We are practically blind out there.
30:34Delta boat, delta boat, delta boat, bridge.
30:43Dejection spreads on the bridge.
30:47Without radio contact, in the pitch black of night, the people in the boat have no chance of finding their way back to Steve Irwin.
30:53We don't know if they capsized or if the radio is just broken.
31:00Maybe they forgot to turn it on in the heat of the moment.
31:06Stupid to drive that far without checking in.
31:12Batteries too cold?
31:13No, they have two with them and the satellite phone.
31:15The situation was really very serious.
31:22We hadn't heard from them for a long time and didn't know exactly where they were.
31:29The conditions for the dinghy crew are pretty bad.
31:33Let's hope everyone comes back safe and sound.
31:39Hopefully the boat didn't capsize.
31:41This is the worst thing that can happen out there.
31:43They are in the middle of the Southern Ocean, completely isolated, in freezing cold.
31:50Such an accident has serious, often fatal consequences.
31:58We should go home.
31:59Collect Giles and Potsi and end.
32:01If they continue like this, someone will definitely get hurt.
32:03We all just looked at each other, shrugging our shoulders and thinking, what do we do now?
32:18There are only a few hours left to drive to the handover point and pick up Pots and Lane.
32:24But what happens to the missing dinghy crew?
32:27Should the Steve Irwin wait?
32:29Captain Watson sleeps exhausted in his cabin.
32:33The pressure of the decision rests on Peter Brown.
32:36How far away are we likely to be from them and when do we turn around?
32:43We could be at the handover point in about four or five hours.
32:47No, that won't work.
32:48I don't want to turn around.
32:58What do we do?
33:03In times of crisis, someone competent has to be in charge. And that didn't seem to be the case.
33:13The lives of the dinghy crew are at stake. Action must be taken immediately.
33:18Quartermaster Aaron Glasson suggests something completely unexpected: asking the Japanese whaler for help.
33:31Glasson's suggestion is accepted. He speaks a little Japanese and immediately attempts to contact the Yushinmaru 2.
33:38The situation was extremely tense. We had to do something. So we decided to contact the Japanese whaling ship by radio.
33:53Glasson repeats his cry for help several times.
34:14The answer is always the same: silence.
34:18Peter Brown realizes that he may be responsible for the deaths of four crew members.
34:31Delta, delta, delta. This is bridged. Do you copy? Over.
34:34Two and a half hours later. Still no sign of life from the dinghy crew.
34:51Delta, Delta, Delta.
34:53Delta, can you hear me?
34:56When do we make an emergency call?
34:58When do we make an emergency call?
34:59I do not know.
35:07When Wilfred Verklei starts his shift, he has no idea of the catastrophe.
35:15What's up?
35:17We lost the dinghy.
35:20When Peter Brown started talking in his typical manner, I told him that from now on I would only speak to Malcolm.
35:26Of course he was angry.
35:31One thing leads to another.
35:33The situation on the bridge threatens to escalate.
35:38I say something and you shut me up because you only talk to Malcolm.
35:42That's not nice. I'm not saying, Wilfred, shut up off the bridge.
35:46Because I work with people.
35:51Wilfred is just off track.
35:53On ships, it's like in the army. There are no committees making decisions.
35:56You can add your two cents, but the decision still rests with the general.
36:02You could have worked with us instead of silencing everyone.
36:06Oh, whatever.
36:09If people don't understand the situation, then I don't care if they're first officer or captain.
36:16We were missing four people and they were more important than anything else.
36:23Because human lives are at stake, Verkleids takes command and orders a search operation.
36:30For me, it wouldn't have been right to oppose him. So we tackled it together.
36:38We start the search at the location where they were last seen.
36:42In grid squares?
36:44Exactly.
36:44I didn't even ask Peter Brown for his opinion on the search grid.
36:51I talk to people who have experience and not just a big ego.
36:58No idea why Wilfred doesn't trust Peter.
37:01We have a clear command structure here on board.
37:04That's the only way.
37:05A ship is not a democracy, more like a dictatorship.
37:08Do you want to wake Paul?
37:12No no.
37:15Paul needed to recover and had given me command.
37:18So there was no reason for me to involve anyone until the matter was resolved.
37:26There is a heated debate on the bridge about whether Verkleid was allowed to ignore orders in this emergency situation.
37:32We missed some of our people.
37:39Understandably, everyone's nerves were on edge and things got really heated.
37:46If I were captain, no one would be allowed to question my decisions.
37:50Basta.
37:56Despite all the disagreements on board, Verkleid and Malcolm Holland continue to work undeterred.
38:01They want to start their search as soon as possible.
38:07Just before they put their plan into action, they receive the call they have been waiting for so long.
38:22Finally, contact with the Delta is restored.
38:25The boat is not too far away.
38:27The crew can even see the lights of the Steve Irwin.
38:31All four on board the dinghy are safe.
38:39The attack on the Yoshinmaru was successful, at least in part.
38:43The activists were able to throw their butyric acid bombs at the whaler.
38:47However, it was not possible to block the screw and prevent it from continuing its journey.
38:51The reason why the Delta crew had no contact with the mother ship for hours is banal.
38:57The radios did not have sufficient range.
39:05The Steve Irwin uses powerful spotlights to help the four activists find their way back.
39:10They had no problems at all. All the fuss was for nothing.
39:23Next time, please contact us earlier.
39:40We had no reception out there with the small radios.
39:53We've never had such bad snow conditions here before. It's really lucky that everyone is back safe and sound.
39:59We didn't want you to worry. Unfortunately, we were having fun out there, too.
40:08The others were really mad at us. We felt like kids who stole their dad's car for a joyride and wrecked it.
40:17Sorry, but in the heat of the moment.
40:30We were very close and were able to throw the stink bombs directly onto the bridge.
40:39Funnily enough, we radioed the Yushin Maru to ask if they had seen you after you had stinked them up.
40:44They must think we're incredibly bold. Have you seen our Delta?
40:50Everyone is happy that the nighttime operation was successful and no one was injured.
40:58For one person, however, it will have unpleasant consequences.
41:04There's always tension in such situations. But the crew must understand one thing.
41:09The officers are in command because they have the experience to deal with such situations.
41:14I was silenced and I told Wilfred I wouldn't treat you like that.
41:22We'll talk about it tomorrow. Well done.
41:27The dinghies are quickly tied down so that the Steve Irwin can get moving again.
41:35Now we really have to step on the gas so we don't miss the handover.
41:37Something like this should never happen again.
41:42The Steve Irwin sets course for the agreed handover point.
41:47Will there be enough time?
41:49Japan and Australia had negotiated the transfer conditions for three days.
41:54But now the deal is in danger of falling apart because the Sea Shepherds may be arriving too late.
41:57Sunrise over the Southern Ocean.
42:06Captain Paul Watson has taken command on the bridge again.
42:10The incidents of the night have not yet been discussed.
42:13The Steve Irwin still has a long way to go before it reaches the planned meeting point.
42:27The international press is desperate to know how the two hostages are doing.
42:32We'll surely find out soon. In any case, they're probably happy that no whales have been killed here for eight days.
42:40And it should stay that way for as long as possible.
42:45There are, of course, two sides to this. The longer they stay on the ship, the longer whaling will be suspended.
42:55The aftermath of the night's action can be felt everywhere on board.
43:02The dinghy crew is still being criticized for not reporting
43:08and thereby put himself and helicopter pilot Chris Altman in unnecessary danger.
43:15You're out there alone at night, without protection. It's obvious that you have to report.
43:26Wilfred Verklei was severely punished by the senior officers.
43:30For disregarding the command structure on board.
43:36Wilfred has lost his post and been stripped of his guard.
43:41Anyone who disobeys orders should not be on bridge watch because you never know what they will do.
43:47Some people live in a dream world here, thinking they are clever and can do anything.
43:58But they don't have the slightest idea.
44:02He doesn't take orders from the captain, not from me, not from the officers.
44:07If someone like that is in charge, he is a danger to the ship.
44:09Captain Watson supports his first officer.
44:17Peter had the situation under control. Nevertheless, Wilfred made a huge fuss.
44:23We have a completely hierarchical system here. I don't have to coordinate with anyone.
44:28As the head of this campaign, he should not have to deal with such problems.
44:46The Steve Irwin has not yet reached the agreed meeting point when a radio message is received from the Australian customs ship.
44:53Could you please increase your speed by one and a half knots so we don't miss each other?
45:01We do.
45:04The Sea Shepherds go full steam ahead and arrive at the handover point just in time.
45:15I'm incredibly happy.
45:18Potts here gets a nice clean cabin, but unfortunately his Scotch is all gone.
45:23Paul, will you welcome them on the main deck?
45:38No.
45:39Then I'll do it, because one of us should thank them.
45:45In order.
45:46You go.
45:47I'll stay on the bridge.
45:49Then I'll go.
45:53We have no information whatsoever about the situation of either of them.
46:01I hope they are doing well.
46:04At first they wanted to throw Potts overboard, but then they calmed down a bit.
46:10There was quite a scramble when they boarded the ship.
46:15The Japanese seem to have overreacted somewhat.
46:17The crew anxiously awaits the return of Giles Lane and Benjamin Potts.
46:26How did the two of them fare on the whaling ship?
46:29And was Captain Watson's bold plan to board the whaler a success or ultimately a failure?
46:36Coming soon to Whale Walls.
46:47Ship spotted.
46:48But doesn't seem to be fishing right now.
46:51The ship followed us.
46:53The Japanese CIA.
46:55What is the plan?
46:57The dinghy is supposed to hide behind the iceberg, shoot out and confront them directly.
47:02If it's an order, we do it.
47:06They don't fall for it. They come.
47:10It's high time to strike.
47:13Good day to die.
