00:00A battle is raging in the Southern Ocean.
00:10The 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.
00:44If you go to sea, you can die. If you don't accept that, you have nothing to gain from it.
00:52She is injured.
00:55A broken pelvis can bleed heavily. Can you feel it?
00:59I can't move my legs.
01:02This trail is moving fast and is definitely from a ship.
01:07Could be the Nishimaru.
01:09A floating slaughterhouse.
01:12We have to take out the ship, I'd prefer to sink it.
01:15They're 20 miles southeast of us. Let's get them.
01:18We have no electricity anymore.
01:24Machine shell.
01:24The Steve Irwin drifts blind and helpless in the Southern Ocean.
01:46Without electricity, neither navigation systems, machines nor controls function.
01:56Ship engineer Charles Hutchings tries to restart the main engine.
02:00Power outage in the middle of the night.
02:12After numerous attempts, the ship's generator finally starts up again.
02:16However, it will still be a while before there is electricity everywhere on board again.
02:20I'm going to the bridge now and check whether our navigation system is working properly again.
02:29However, the system is still offline.
02:33Radar is back, as are communications systems and satellite phones.
02:40Very nice.
02:43We have power back on. But the gyrocompass hasn't adjusted yet.
02:47Therefore, for now we have to steer manually using GPS.
02:53The failure of the electrical system on board has unforeseen consequences.
02:59Damn, she's gone.
03:01The men have lost sight of the Nishinmaru.
03:05If the factory ship escapes, it will rejoin the rest of the fleet and the whalers can continue the hunt.
03:10Continue.
03:14The world is a vampire
03:16Sent to drain
03:20Secret destroyers
03:24Hold you up to the flames
03:29And what do I get
03:32For my pain
03:36Still no sign of the Nishinmaru.
04:01The flagship of the Japanese whaling fleet remains missing.
04:06We should wait here and see what happens.
04:10Driving off at random is pointless.
04:15If we keep waiting, we'll never get it.
04:19At daybreak, the Sea Shepherds decide to head to the last known position of the Nishinmaru.
04:31The Japanese whaling fleet consists of six ships.
04:36On the Nishinmaru, the killed marine mammals are butchered and their meat is frozen.
04:40The Japanese are taking advantage of international law, which states that no part of a whale caught for scientific purposes may remain unused.
04:51Therefore, the animals are processed on board to meet market requirements.
04:55For me, the Nishinmaru is the most despicable ship on the planet.
05:00A symbol of the extinction of whales.
05:02It is a gigantic, floating slaughterhouse.
05:09The animals are roughly butchered on the slaughter deck. Below is the production deck.
05:16There, the whale meat is frozen and packaged. It is then transported to Japan on a supply ship.
05:21If we take out the Nishinmaru, we will cripple the entire fleet.
05:24But the Sea Shepherds can only dream of this.
05:37Then they discover the ship again on the radar screen.
05:42The Nishinmaru appears to have suddenly changed course.
05:48It is heading due north.
05:52It's only a matter of time before we catch up with them.
05:59Really cool. It's less than seven and a half miles away.
06:04We should see her any minute.
06:10The Steve Irwin is faster than the Nishinmaru and will soon catch up with the large factory ship.
06:15Below deck, the crew is caring for Quartermaster Shannon Mann, who has injured her pelvis.
06:27A card with best wishes for recovery from all of us.
06:31Here for you.
06:3533 things you can do on the Steve Irwin even if you're crippled.
06:39I should try a few.
06:44I didn't want to bother people, but I needed their help to go to the bathroom.
06:51They also had to bring me food.
06:53I couldn't leave the cabin.
06:55Shannon is doing very well, but she could be a little more mobile.
07:12When do you think you can get up?
07:15If the pain isn't too bad, you should try it soon.
07:21I got up briefly once today.
07:25I really needed to go to the bathroom.
07:29Because the floor is so dirty, I put socks on my hands and feet and slid across on all fours and my butt.
07:39When people saw me, they were a bit confused and said, do you need help?
07:45And I, no, no, thank you, I'm fine.
07:47Shannon Mann's way of moving on board the Steve Irwin Speed School is surprising.
07:59However, until the quartermaster is fully operational again, she will be making herself useful in other ways.
08:04I'm trying my hand at this. It's going to be an apron.
08:13But I actually can't sew at all.
08:16I had various fabric scraps brought to me.
08:20The pocket comes from a shirt.
08:21And I cut the top part off a towel.
08:27However, in order not to completely sour in her cabin, Shannon Mann decides to play a round of poker with the captain.
08:35Done, I changed my clothes.
08:36I'm doing very well. Everything is healing pretty quickly.
08:44I already missed a game of poker.
08:48So I got up the courage to play another round.
08:55Captain, hold on to the money.
08:57With a little help I can walk quite well.
08:59Of course I still have pain.
09:09But that's not so bad.
09:14The chair is probably for me.
09:21Everyone on board took wonderful care of me.
09:25Even Paul played poker with me.
09:29I love playing poker with Paul.
09:53It's really fun with him.
09:55He can forget everything around him and is fully focused on what he is doing.
09:59I'm not very sociable, but I always enjoy playing poker.
10:14Apart from a short stopover in Melbourne, the Steve Irwin has now been at sea for three months and has now come close to the Nishinmaru.
10:22It was three and a half miles earlier.
10:26But we are getting closer and closer.
10:29We've been hot on their heels for four or five hours.
10:32She's not even a mile ahead now.
10:37The captain has ordered us to approach within three-quarters of a mile and wait until dawn.
10:42Then we attack.
10:43But that is easier said than done.
10:52The Nishinmaru is much too big for an attack with an inflatable boat.
10:57In order to place their butyric acid bombs and gliding powder, the Sea Shepherds must engage in a ship-to-ship confrontation.
11:04The attack is basically the same as that of real pirates in the 17th century.
11:13It is difficult to maneuver large ships without colliding.
11:20There she is.
11:24The tension within the crew is growing.
11:27The confrontation with the flagship of the Japanese whaling fleet is imminent.
11:31We had to wait for this climax for days.
11:39Time to heat them up.
11:50A nice wake-up call.
11:54Now let's finish it.
11:56By the way, this is the calm before the storm.
12:01As long as they are separated from the harpoon ships, they cannot kill whales.
12:11It's a bad thing, quite simply.
12:15We've been working hard for months on this. Everyone is super excited.
12:21It gives you satisfaction when you do something to stop them from killing the whales.
12:24The Nishinmaru has brought so much harm to the whales over the years.
12:35That's why what we do here is so incredibly important.
12:44We've been dreaming about it for three and a half months. And now we have it right in front of us.
12:48Now it counts.
12:53This ship represents everything I hate.
12:56The murder of defenseless animals in a world where such things can no longer have a place.
13:00I hate it.
13:04With active support, Shannon Mann made it onto the bridge.
13:08She definitely doesn't want to miss the confrontation with the Nishinmaru.
13:13Nishinmaru, this is the Steve Irwin. Leave this forest reserve immediately.
13:34We're here to enforce international law. Leave these waters immediately.
13:39The whalers claim that international law allows them to kill a certain number of whales for scientific purposes.
13:51The Sea Shepherds, on the other hand, are convinced that there is a strict ban on whaling in the Southern Ocean protected area.
14:01There is no response from the Nishinmaru. The crew prepares for the attack.
14:06This ship is simply grotesque.
14:13The activists have been preparing for this moment for months.
14:17Now it is time to put the captain's plans into action.
14:22We'll heat him up on deck with stink bombs.
14:26I don't think they'll load any whales while we're on their heels.
14:30The non-toxic butyric acid makes the whale meat inedible and will prevent the Nishinmaru from processing any more animals.
14:40We have about 20 liters of butyric acid in handy bottles.
14:47Probably the smelliest stuff ever invented.
14:50Also our anti-skid powder. When wet, it acts like soft soap.
14:56The good thing about this stuff is, the more you try to wash it off, the more slippery it becomes.
15:03Good trick.
15:03The hot phase begins.
15:11Captain Paul Watson gives the final instructions.
15:16Get ready, we'll have them soon.
15:22The strategy is set.
15:25The attack on the Nishinmaru will be carried out in one fell swoop because there may not be a second chance for the Sea Shepherds.
15:33We are facing a powerful opponent.
15:39For us, this ship is the epitome of what is wrong in the world.
15:43He is the one who initiates the slaughter of whales.
15:46We must do everything we can to shut it down.
15:48Now is the crucial moment.
15:49It all comes down to this one moment.
15:54Warning.
15:55Warning.
15:57This is the Nishinmaru chapter.
16:01Stop your obstructive actions immediately.
16:06Should you dare to board this vessel,
16:09you'll be taken into custody
16:12and we've trained as illegal intruders under Japanese law.
16:23Attention! Stop the poaching and return to Japan.
16:28Over.
16:29Don't hurt anyone.
16:41Stop your obstructive actions immediately.
16:45Go!
16:45The glitch also testifies.
17:03He gave us the finger.
17:05The activists are not deterred
17:13and fire as many stink bombs and slip powder as they can.
17:16The Sea Shepherds are able to place almost all of their missiles on the deck of the Nishinmaru.
17:44The whalers do not resist,
17:46but only film the attack.
17:50Let's give you a break.
17:51They won't leave us.
17:54We have prepared a little celebration for you
17:58and garnished her deck with stinking butyric acid,
18:01so that you know we are here.
18:07What's better than covering Japanese whalers with it?
18:12We have thrown a lot of stuff at you.
18:15That went really well.
18:16The first attack on the Nishinmaru was a complete success for the Sea Shepherds.
18:25They are relieved and are already preparing for the next blow.
18:31As expected, the large factory ship turns away
18:34and tries to get out of range of the Steve Irwin.
18:36But the activists immediately follow up.
18:40They know that as long as the ship is on the run, it cannot join the rest of the fleet.
18:45And as long as that is the case, no whales will be killed.
18:50We were able to spread a lot of butyric acid on the Nishinmaru's striking deck.
18:54This should prevent them from processing whale meat there.
18:58Afterwards it would smell extremely unpleasant.
19:01In addition, the stench makes life really difficult for the deckhands.
19:04This stuff is horrible, stinks all the way here.
19:09The captain has to decide what happens next.
19:25We have enough fuel to keep them going for a few more days.
19:29And material for another bombardment too.
19:32They're probably already scared.
19:34This is now after this night.
19:39We have been tracking the factory ship for 24 hours now.
19:43And as long as we continue, they won't kill whales.
19:49It must be frustrating for them that we're standing in their way and they can't do anything.
19:53Point for us.
20:02This is Steve Irwin speaking. You are violating international law.
20:07Leave these waters immediately.
20:09We have three injured people.
20:18Caused by their illegal act of violence.
20:26I don't believe you. It's just propaganda.
20:30When throwing the stink bombs, we took great care to ensure that no one was hurt.
20:34These accusations come from the very people who are filling the oceans with blood.
20:47Stop your brutal and illegal slaughter of whales.
20:50The Japanese whaling fleet is an extremely dangerous and cruel killing machine that must disappear from here.
20:57I have rags.
21:10Although the Sea Shepherds doubt that anyone on board the Nishinmaru is actually injured, they offer their support.
21:16We have a doctor on board if you need help. Now in Japanese.
21:25Nishinmaru, Nishinmaru.
21:27Suddenly no one is hurt anymore?
21:41They claim they have three injured people on board.
21:44But not one of our litters went anywhere near a person.
21:48Maybe this is just a ruse.
21:53Nevertheless, we offered medical assistance, but they didn't respond.
22:00We don't count on people when we throw our stink bombs. We don't want to hurt anyone.
22:06Last year, too, they claimed to have wounded. The old pity ploy.
22:16Apparently, we threw acid at them. But that stuff is as deadly as orange juice.
22:27The Sea Shepherds are not impressed by the claims of the Japanese whalers and remain on the heels of the Nishinmaru.
22:36Look, what is this?
22:56Whales, right ahead. They're showing us the way.
23:06This is fantastic. That's why we're here. These whales can swim freely and nothing will happen to them. Simply amazing.
23:23It's wonderful to see the whales playing right in front of the Nishinmaru. It's truly worth our time here.
23:39Dolphins, pilot whales, and humpback whales. All at once. We make sure they stay alive.
23:56Today, none of them will file into the hands of that guy over there.
23:58They can't do anything because we're here. Great. That's what it's all about.
24:12Perhaps the whales wanted to show the Japanese: You can't hurt us because our friends, the Sea Shepherds, are here.
24:19The sight of the whales puts the entire crew in high spirits.
24:38Despite all the euphoria, Nishinmaru activists remain hot on their heels.
24:47Suddenly, however, the factory ship slows down drastically.
24:50Are you almost at a standstill?
25:04No one on the bridge knows how to interpret the mysterious behavior of the whalers.
25:12Are they planning something to get rid of Steve Irwin?
25:16We're now going through all the possibilities as to why they might have stopped.
25:20They certainly won't do it because of us.
25:28Maybe a ruse?
25:37There is confusion on the bridge.
25:39A stalemate occurs between the Nishinmaru and the Steve Irwin.
25:55Both ships are waiting.
25:59Who makes the next move?
26:00The Sea Shepherds don’t trust the calm.
26:07Suddenly the Nishinmaru pulls away at full speed.
26:12They probably stopped to start their second machine.
26:16We have to do that if we don't want to lose them.
26:18As soon as she warmed up, she went full speed ahead.
26:23We gave them too much leeway.
26:25Now they're taking off, already doing 15.5 knots.
26:29Very disturbing.
26:30The Sea Shepherds are pursuing the ship and hope to get closer to the factory ship again soon.
26:39The captain wants to cover them with stink bombs again.
26:45They should know that we are still here and that they must not rest.
26:51By early afternoon, the Sea Shepherds had almost caught up with the factory ship.
26:58We go alongside the Nishinmaru again for the attack, but only have three stink bombs left.
27:07Can you get them over?
27:08Yes, of course.
27:11You and Greg should throw. You have the strongest arms. We need a third.
27:23Deep inside the ship, second officer Peter Hammerstedt finds the right man to reinforce the throwing team.
27:30He has been waiting for his chance for a long time.
27:32Finally. Until now, I've only been able to demonstrate my outstanding talents by flushing and cleaning toilets.
27:45But now I can contribute directly to the Sea Shepherds cause.
27:48A little later the time has come.
27:55The activists are preparing for a second attack.
27:58Great, now they're getting it again. It would be great if we could get rid of them for good.
28:21Cast as soon as you can.
28:34They are coming towards us.
28:36Cast as soon as you can.
28:37Cast as soon as you can.
28:38Cast as soon as you can.
28:39This is Mission Mars, Captain.
28:54Stop your obstructed actions immediately.
28:57Should we be able to board the spacecraft,
28:59you'll be taken into time
29:01and betrayed as a Nero intruder under Japanese law.
29:05Good Morning.
29:09Yes!
29:11Once again, the Sea Shepherds were able to place their projectiles on board the Nishinmaru.
29:16But they are still not satisfied and decide to launch another attack.
29:25Under no circumstances should you come any closer.
29:32If you do, we will use stun grenades or tear gas.
29:39Tear gas? Get Paul!
29:48If we come closer, use tear gas.
29:51Tell them not to kill any more whales.
29:53This is Steve Irwin speaking.
29:58Stop illegally killing whales here.
30:01Go back to Japan.
30:05The whalers continue to insist that they only catch the number of whales
30:08to which they are entitled under international law.
30:11Now they are threatening us with stun grenades and tear gas.
30:14You obviously seem to be quite desperate and frustrated.
30:26They stack large sacks.
30:33They have something planned.
30:35They're threatening to fire on us if we come any closer. With flash grenades or something.
30:41These things are so bright and loud that they'll knock you over if they land next to you.
30:49This is really no fun.
30:52The crew uses earplugs for defense.
30:58We bombarded them with plenty of stink bombs, but we never believed they would fire on us.
31:03We are fighting here for a just cause and showing them that we are not afraid of them.
31:20No matter what happens, stay calm.
31:33Uh!
31:58They are late hedgehogs.
32:02Come on! Come on!
32:07Close the door!
32:12Caution!
32:14They want to ram us!
32:19They're aiming the flash grenades directly at us.
32:22They deliberately want to hurt us.
32:27Do they also have guns?
32:32Fortunately, the small Japanese firework didn't hurt any of us.
32:48What happened?
32:54What is that?
32:55Hooray!
32:56Get a doctor quickly!
32:57The captain was shot.
33:06I was hit.
33:11Hooray!
33:13The conflict with the Japanese whalers suddenly seems to have taken on a completely different dimension.
33:31Looks like a piece of metal.
33:33Yes, it hit this part here.
33:36This is where it came through.
33:37Something hit me.
33:44That was a bullet.
33:50I felt a stabbing pain in my chest, reached into my rescue suit and realized that my badge was shattered.
33:56Very funny.
33:56They shot at you.
34:16I never would have expected something like this.
34:17I had seen Paul wearing a bulletproof vest before and thought it was a bit excessive.
34:23Obviously it wasn't.
34:24Without her, he would probably be dead now.
34:32The bullet would have entered below the collarbone.
34:37He would have bled to death within minutes.
34:39Luckily he had his vest on.
34:41I just felt the pin of the badge stiffening me.
34:49If it weren't for the vest, I would have lost the captain and a friend, but the world would have lost one of its most committed environmentalists.
35:00Just minutes later, Watson tells the press that he has been shot.
35:04He is using the incident to draw the world's attention back to his anti-election rigging campaign.
35:14The news is that Steve Irwin is challenging Nishinmaru in the election sanctuary.
35:19I have translated the captain's statement and am now sending it to the Dutch newspapers.
35:25Watson says he survived the shot only thanks to his body armor.
35:32What actually happened remains controversial.
35:36The Japanese whalers insist that they did not fire a single shot.
35:42According to the Japanese Fisheries Agency, accompanying coast guard officers only threw the stun grenades commonly used against protesters.
35:50A spokesman for the Japanese whalers explains the following.
35:58Nobody shot Paul Watson.
36:00Otherwise, despite his Kevlar vest, he would have been thrown backward and suffered bruises.
36:08However, Watson showed no involuntary movements.
36:11He claimed that the badge under his vest had miraculously saved his life, like in a western.
36:21The whalers hand over to the press a video shot by Borden Nishinmaru to support their statements.
36:37However, the Sea Shepherds remain adamant that Captain Watson was shot.
36:42That was a really great shot.
36:47No, they're not that good.
36:52Presumably one of the crew shot at me. I don't think it was the Coast Guard. They're not that stupid.
37:02No one else was hit except you. No other shots were fired. But that one shot was aimed at you. The guy wanted you.
37:08Why would he do that?
37:11Because we've been putting pressure on them for days. They're frustrated. That's why they're responding to our stink bombs with grenades.
37:19I think someone wanted to kill him. And now they're really thinking about it.
37:28They're unscrupulous. We don't think they're capable of such acts of violence.
37:34They think they can intimidate us. This just shows us how important our job is here.
37:43These crazy people would do anything to continue hunting whales.
37:50Both opponents stubbornly stick to their version of the incident.
37:54We must not forget that the violence here is primarily directed against the whales.
38:03A lot of blood flows here.
38:09These innocent creatures suffer a slow, painful death.
38:13And that's much worse than the injuries we get.
38:16The Japanese probably already regret their aggression because they made us victims.
38:25Now the tide is turning.
38:29I believe this attack on us will shake up the world more,
38:35than anything else that others have done to protect whales in years.
38:39Despite all the euphoria, the Sea Shepherds had to abandon the pursuit shortly afterwards.
38:48Really frustrating. If we had a few more days of fuel, we could actually stop them.
38:55I would give anything for those few days, just to finish the job.
39:03We couldn't stop whaling, but we could at least prevent the Japanese from reaching their catch quota.
39:09We did what we could.
39:14It would be better to stay here, but since we're running out of fuel, we should go home.
39:22The Steve Irwin ends its pursuit of the Nishinmaru and sets course for the Australian mainland.
39:28Let's go!
39:39Finally, some peace returns to the ship.
39:47Deck's assistant Alex Wallman decides to give the kitchen team some rest too.
39:51Today I'm preparing dinner. The girls need a break.
39:59I want to cook something that we used to have at home.
40:06Nikola has already put the guest apron around my neck to emasculate me.
40:09The girls feel threatened by men in the kitchen because everyone knows that the best chefs in the world are men.
40:23Maybe I'll learn something. I'm just a woman.
40:27Get to work. Don't just talk, Nikola.
40:29Today we have eggplant, fried olive oil, and chicken broth. Don't worry, this isn't real chicken broth. It's vegan.
40:47Alex is cooking today. Great. It can't get any worse. Only better.
40:53This is a real challenge for me because I have never cooked in a galley before.
41:06In principle, it's exactly the same as at home. Except for the fact that you're constantly rocking back and forth when chopping vegetables, for example.
41:16Let's see if we can do it without losing any fingers or toes.
41:23I'm looking forward to his food. And if it doesn't taste good, there'll be trouble.
41:32It's nice to have someone else cooking down here for once.
41:36At least he will experience what it means to prepare food for a large number of people in rough seas.
41:41It's really not easy. You're doing something and suddenly you're somewhere completely different.
41:56You don't really want to work there, but you always have to devote yourself to where you are.
42:00And hope that you get everything done in time.
42:02You're constantly floating back and forth between the cooking stoves, just wishing you can get through without any major accidents.
42:18Really delicious. Especially the potatoes.
42:20Great food. Really good.
42:31That's what I was waiting for.
42:32Yesterday was a very good day for the whales. The news reports about us are consistently positive.
42:44Our conclusion? They only fulfilled half of their quota. And we should all be happy about that.
42:52Yesterday we really got things going.
42:56You all contributed to making this mission a great success.
43:21The catch figures published by the Japanese
43:24prove to the Sea Shepherds in black and white,
43:27that their campaign in the Southern Ocean
43:29was not in vain.
43:35We drove back to Melbourne,
43:36in the knowledge that I have done everything possible.
43:40Around 500 animals were saved through our intervention.
43:43Every single life saved was a victory.
43:45And every single life saved was a victory.
43:47Out here I learned what it really takes to save whales.
44:00You don't need to write letters or donate money for all sorts of things.
44:05You just have to decide to do something.
44:08We have actually paralyzed an entire whaling fleet
44:16and thus showed that with 33 people you can have a positive influence on the world,
44:20if everyone helps.
44:24My life is like new.
44:29If we don't act, there will be no whales left in 100 years.
44:36Future generations will ask,
44:39why didn't anyone do anything about it?
44:41And eventually they will blame us for it.
44:49I think our campaign was extremely successful this time.
44:53We have halved their quota,
45:04it cost 70 million dollars,
45:06brought the matter to the Japanese media
45:10and delivered truly tangible results.
45:19It wasn't always easy.
45:23This was just one battle in the fight,
45:27to save our environment,
45:28our planet and ultimately ourselves.
45:35Our job is only finished,
45:36if we expel the whaling companies from the protected area
45:38and made ourselves superfluous.
45:48A friend once said,
45:49As an environmentalist, there is no end of work.
45:51There is always something to do.
45:53There is always something to do.
