00:00There is war in the Southern Ocean.
00:06Sea Shepherd, an environmental organization led by Captain Paul Watson,
00:11tries by all means to put an end to the Japanese whalers' activities.
00:15The activists believe that the whalers are violating the ban on commercial whaling.
00:20The whalers, however, argue that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:26Both parties feel they are in the right.
00:27The environmentalists are prepared to do anything, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:37Last time at Whale Wars.
00:39Like in the circus.
00:41It's just us against four whaling ships. Not a good starting position.
00:47It's getting more extreme. I've never seen her so aggressive.
00:54An L-Ride on the port side and three guys are ready.
00:57They have never been so aggressive.
01:00The rules of the game have just changed.
01:05Someone tried to tear the nets with a grappling hook.
01:10The entire Flens deck is covered.
01:13I don't want to throw a hook from an inflatable boat.
01:17A lot can go wrong there.
01:19Sometimes you have to break new ground.
01:21I'm not going to throw the thing.
01:30The Sea Shepherds are still hot on the heels of the Japanese whalers.
01:34Due to the new defense tactics, the crew of the Steve Irwin had to improvise.
01:41They can no longer surprise their opponents as easily as in the past.
01:44We were limited in our actions.
01:55We learned the hard way how ineffective our tactics are.
02:02We've been really restless all morning.
02:05We have no idea what we're going to do. We don't have any more tricks up our sleeves.
02:15Four or five of us could board the ship. That would stress them out a bit.
02:21The Sea Shepherds’ tried and tested methods are no longer effective.
02:25Therefore, some crew members developed a new idea.
02:29They want to tear the nets on the enemy ships with a grappling hook.
02:32A lot could go wrong if you throw a sharp-edged object from an inflatable boat.
02:40Simon and Lauren thought it wasn't a good idea.
02:47I think the nets are pretty thick. But they still want to do it.
02:58This is Money.
03:00I can do it here too.
03:02We decided to put the grappling hook idea on hold until we had a closer look at the nets.
03:11This isn't a democracy. We all know what the captain expects of us.
03:19Then we'll try the old tricks. But let's take a look at the weak points of the networks and what we can do.
03:25Even if some people don't like it, I made my point clear.
03:47Now the team must come up with new methods to disrupt the whalers in their work.
03:52The Sea Shepherds tried to do it in a peaceful way.
04:06But sometimes you just have to do what needs to be done.
04:09We are not afraid of the consequences.
04:10What do you think about boarding a harpoon ship or the Nishinmaru?
04:22From the helideck or the bridge?
04:26If they come alongside, why not?
04:32Do you want to catapult yourself over?
04:33It worked last time.
04:38Then what are you waiting for?
04:44If we ever find ourselves in a situation like the Kaikomaru and are right next to the ship, we could try it.
04:53They won't kill me.
04:55The world is a vampire
05:01Sent to drain
05:05Secret destroyers
05:09Hold you up to the flames
05:14And what do I get
05:17For my pain
05:21This is now the fifth day we've been to.
05:50We've been following them for five days.
05:52Since then, no whale has been killed here.
05:56The Sea Shepherds have been on the move for a total of two months to stop whaling in the Southern Ocean.
06:04The factory ship of the Japanese whaling fleet lies about two nautical miles ahead of the Steve Irwin.
06:09Ten nautical miles ahead, the fleet's three harpoon ships search for whales.
06:14The echo here is the harpoon ship on the horizon.
06:17The second is here on the starboard side and the third is about twelve or thirteen nautical miles away.
06:28The Sea Shepherds' last attempts to stop the whalers from doing their work were unsuccessful.
06:33With the powerful water cannons on board and the safety nets used for the first time, the whalers were able to effectively defend themselves against the attacks of the environmentalists.
06:48The ship is huge, we had no chance.
06:57At the beginning you think it will work.
07:00But you simply have no chance.
07:02If the Sea Shepherds don't come up with a new method soon, the whalers will soon be able to carry out their work unhindered.
07:14With the harpoon ships, we can at least throw bottles of butyric acid onto the deck.
07:19And the water cannons there aren't that powerful?
07:27Like a sprinkler system.
07:31The harpoon ships are more vulnerable than the Nishinmaru.
07:34It feels right to attack them.
07:37Whenever I see the harpoon, my blood starts to boil.
07:39We fought hard to get here.
07:45We don't want to hurt anyone, but we have to think of a way to disable these ships.
07:54The harpoon boats remain unchanged twelve nautical miles ahead of the Steve Irwin.
07:59With the inflatable boats the distance would be too far for an attack.
08:02Paul doesn't want them to attack if the target is more than ten nautical miles away.
08:08Therefore, we will attack the Nishinmaru and use it as bait to lure the harpoon ships.
08:17Or Paul?
08:22We want?
08:27As the inflatable boats head for the Nishinmaru once again, they are supported from the air by Chris Oldman.
08:33As soon as the harpoon ships turn around and rush to the aid of their mother ship, the Sea Shepherds want to attack them with the rubber dinghies.
08:45Can we start?
08:48We'll be in the air soon.
08:49In the first phase of the attack, the crews in the inflatable boats are supposed to disrupt work on the factory ship.
08:57Hopefully the harpoon boats will then come to the rescue.
09:00The last time Sea Shepherds tried to throw butyric acid bottles at a whaling ship,
09:06They were immediately attacked with nuts and golf balls.
09:09During our first attack, the boys threw brass screw nuts at us.
09:24We were pretty angry.
09:27We could have easily been injured.
09:29We're still not doing enough when it comes to tactics.
09:36But we still do not want to use violence.
09:39And that is sometimes a very fine line.
09:42We can now put the boats in the water.
09:57Paul wants you to wait until the helicopter is overhead before approaching the Nishinmaru.
10:12Shitty ship.
10:15A perfect day to catch whales. It's a good thing we're here.
10:21I'm absolutely ready. We won't be deterred by their latest attack.
10:35In addition to the tried-and-tested butyric acid bottles, the team also has a so-called Prop Fowler on board.
10:40This special line with foam floats is designed to get caught in the whalers' propeller and thus paralyze the entire ship.
10:54We'll give it our all. It'll be a real battle.
11:03The delta is made ready for takeoff first.
11:05The boat team consists of Andy Perry, his fiancée Molly Candle and Steve Roost.
11:11Molly gives the boys final instructions.
11:13If the L-Rat catches us or someone gets hurt or can no longer hear, this signal is valid.
11:25In addition to the water cannons and protective nets, the crew of the Nishinmaru has another ace up its sleeve.
11:31The L-Rats, also known as sonic cannons.
11:34They emit an extremely loud signal tone.
11:37This can cause crew members to lose their orientation or even suffer permanent hearing damage.
11:46If you're seriously injured, like really screwed, then do this.
11:52This means I have to abort the mission.
11:55Will you take over for Andy then?
11:56The main thing is to get away from the L-Rats.
12:05Now it's Gemini's turn.
12:11In addition to Simon Avery, the team consists of Dan Bibawi, Laurence de Chaud and Richard Roberts.
12:17They will lead the attack of the two inflatable boats.
12:20Before you take off, adrenaline rushes through your body and you know that you are responsible for your own safety.
12:35We are now over the target.
12:41Should the boats go to Nishinmaru?
12:44Yes.
12:44When you do what we do, you just have to be willing to die for it.
13:00They're not afraid of us. That's a different story now.
13:09The helicopter is above the Nishinmaru.
13:11The boats will then simply follow him.
13:18Should we make sure that only the bridge crew is on the bridge?
13:22The officer on duty decides this.
13:27The work is difficult when there are so many people in such a small space.
13:32Can you see anything or are there too many people here?
13:37The anti-authoritarian leadership style on the Steve Irwin also has disadvantages.
13:41There is a traditional hierarchy on board, but it is only really needed when the situation becomes a little more serious.
13:55Veronica? Can you clear the bridge a bit?
13:59Next time, please only have the officers currently on duty here.
14:03The two inflatable boats have reached their destination.
14:24The Gemini and the Delta are to attack the Nishinmaru simultaneously to achieve the greatest possible effect.
14:32From a purely visual perspective, the factory ship is far superior to them.
14:38You throw butyric acid, I'll take paint.
14:41The butyric acid is said to make work on board the whaling ship more difficult due to its pungent smell.
14:46The methylcellulose paint is intended to make the work deck even more slippery.
15:02I've never been near an 8,000-ton ship like this before.
15:07Pretty intimidating. It's like standing next to an apartment building.
15:11They are throwing now.
15:27Understood.
15:41They can't get to it. Shit.
15:57The water cannons keep the Sea Shepherds at a distance and prevent them from throwing their bottles.
16:04They weren't even close.
16:06The inflatable boats don't stand a chance against the massive factory ship.
16:21To avoid injuries, teams must maintain a certain safety distance.
16:28The water cannons on the Nishinmaru are not without their power. And they're everywhere on the ship.
16:33They are mainly on the sides where the nets are.
16:40Now we have to think of more drastic methods.
16:45For the plan to lure the harpoon ships to Nishinmaru to work, the teams must continue.
16:52Since it didn't work from the side, I wanted to try the head-to-head variant.
16:57The bow of the gigantic factory ship is the only part that is not defended with water cannons.
17:10But helicopter pilot Chris Altman advises against approaching the ship from the front for safety reasons.
17:15Despite the risk, the team wants to try to land a hit on the bow.
17:21The Achilles heel of the Nishinmaru.
17:35The tactic has never been tried like this before.
17:38But the Sea Shepherds are not deterred by this.
17:40As the Gemini races towards the factory ship at full speed, Laurenz de Chot will attempt to hurl a bottle of butyric acid at the bow.
17:51Only shortly before the collision is Simon Avery allowed to turn the wheel.
18:10If anything goes wrong, the mission could be fatal for the Gemini crew.
18:22I sped forward two or three hundred meters. Then I turned around and raced toward her bow.
18:28We won't give up just because things get a little more dangerous.
18:36We will do everything we can to stop these guys from whaling.
18:42You turn.
18:47What are they doing?
18:49Gemini. How are things with you?
18:54Hold on tight!
18:55Bistar?
18:55Promises you.
19:06Gemini, plug.
19:07What do we do?
19:25We only have one chance.
19:40Over.
19:46Switch to A1.
19:52That was a strong throw.
19:55Very powerful, but not nearly high enough.
20:00There's probably nothing more we can do.
20:08Chris Oldman looks out on the horizon for the whaling fleet's harpoon ships.
20:19They're still quite a long way away.
20:21The Sea Shepherds' plan did not work.
20:26The harpoon ships are still out of range and the showdown with the Nishinmaru seems hopeless.
20:32I'm just flying around a bit.
20:39The crew of the Nishinmaru did a great job protecting the ship from attack.
20:43The helicopter and the inflatable boats remain near the Nishinmaru in an attempt to attract the harpoon ships.
20:55Where is the L-Red?
21:01There, on the port side.
21:05Do you see that?
21:07The L-Red is aimed at us.
21:09I don't shy away from putting myself in danger, but this was a step too far.
21:22The L-Red can cause orientation problems.
21:26The pilot could lose control and crash.
21:29This is very dangerous because it distracts me and prevents me from doing my job up here.
21:44And that puts me in great danger.
21:49I'll stay as long as I feel safe.
21:59Where does this come from?
22:07I see the L-Red.
22:11Do you feel that?
22:12My legs are vibrating.
22:24You just aimed the L-Red at the helicopter.
22:29This is crazy, we're leaving.
22:41Chris Altman tries to escape from the L-Red's range as quickly as possible.
22:49Now they are acting really aggressively, which wasn't the case before.
22:57Yes, I am good.
22:59Just so you know, they just deployed the L-Red.
23:07The L-Red is active.
23:12Roger, understand, L-Red is active.
23:15On the helicopter?
23:17This action is extremely irresponsible and absolutely unacceptable.
23:21Please confirm that the L-Red was aimed at the helicopter.
23:29Positive.
23:30We heard the signal for 35 to 40 seconds.
23:38Then it suddenly became three times as loud.
23:41We felt it in our legs.
23:50That was absurd. There was no reason for it.
23:55You shouldn't attack a helicopter pilot with it.
23:58That could have been fatal.
24:00The helicopter supports the boats from the air and coordinates their attacks on the ships.
24:09The whalers, in turn, describe this action as illegal and potentially life-threatening.
24:18They act completely without regard for losses.
24:22We have been using the helicopter for four years.
24:25Using the L-Red against us is just crazy.
24:27I never thought they were aiming it at us.
24:33This is absolutely irresponsible.
24:38They just don't care.
24:49They become increasingly frustrated and therefore more aggressive.
24:57We can throw all our expectations overboard.
25:01The Japanese are ready for anything.
25:03That's what made me most nervous.
25:14The helicopter has moved away from the danger zone.
25:17However, the inflatable boats remain near the Nishinmaru.
25:19They hope that their tactics will still work.
25:27There is no one standing at the forward mast on the port side.
25:39What do we do?
25:40We cast from the port side onto the bow.
25:45Now the Delta is attempting a similar maneuver to the Gemini before.
25:49The action is extremely dangerous.
25:51But the crew wants to try one last time,
25:53to attract the attention of the harpoon ships.
25:57I stay higher up so I don't get hit by the L-Ride.
26:09Andy Perry brings the Delta into position,
26:11while Steve Roost prepares a bottle of butyric acid.
26:14Here you go, here you go, here you go, here you go.
26:40Is it okay?
26:41What's going on with the delta?
27:01They do nothing.
27:05It bleeds a little.
27:06Should probably be sewn better.
27:08We caught a wave and my eye hit the seat in front of me.
27:16Lots of blood, I got him good.
27:18I don't feel dizzy at all.
27:21If you want to come back, let me know.
27:26If I vomit, just ignore it.
27:28I'm okay.
27:31Secure?
27:31Yes, now I really want to meet her.
27:36I wanted to say bravely that I'm fine.
27:41Because of me we don't have to hurry.
27:42I'm okay.
27:46Steve's injury appears to be minor, but his condition suddenly worsens.
27:50How are you doing?
27:54I feel sick, but I'm okay.
27:56Should we go back?
27:57You may be in shock.
28:00I feel a little dizzy.
28:02Then you won't be able to hold on.
28:06It's the water movements.
28:08Do you want to sit down?
28:10That's OK.
28:10Sorry, guys.
28:11The symptoms indicate a concussion.
28:17Molly Candle informs the bridge crew about the injury.
28:24There's something wrong with our radio.
28:34It just whistles.
28:38We can't understand you.
28:41We now have nine different channels divided into three sets.
28:59I can't reach her.
29:04Our radio doesn't seem to be working anymore.
29:07I'll sit down.
29:11Let's go to Gemini.
29:16They are behind us.
29:20The radio no longer makes any sound.
29:23Chris Altman tries to inform the Gemini.
29:30Meet the Delta.
29:31Delta, delta.
29:40Delta, delta.
29:41I'm over.
29:50Steve has a head injury.
29:55Can you tell that to the bridge?
29:56Hey Luke, could we get an update on Steve?
30:03Do we know anything new about Steve?
30:04Steve?
30:05No.
30:06No?
30:07So we still don't know what happened?
30:09What about the radio?
30:15Is blocked.
30:16Can we change the channel?
30:17Finally, the Gemini team can contact the bridge and prepare the ship's doctor for Steve's arrival.
30:32If it doesn't rock so much, it'll be fine again.
30:36The waves are the problem.
30:41We'll be there soon.
30:45I have to photograph this.
30:46I'm just getting my breath back.
30:51Spinner.
30:59So far, the Sea Shepherds have not been able to land a single hit.
31:02The water cannons and the L-Rat have served their purpose.
31:10Chris Altman had to retreat by helicopter and Steve Roost injured his eye.
31:15The plan to attract the harpoon boats through the actions of the inflatable boats also failed.
31:20The harpoon ships still maintain a distance of 14 nautical miles.
31:27But I'm sure Paul still has a trump card up his sleeve.
31:33We now sit down in front of them.
31:42Captain Paul Watson tries to bring the Steve Irwin closer to the factory ship.
31:50The Yushinmaru is approaching.
32:14Here they are. They're coming.
32:16Suddenly, all three harpoon ships change course and approach the Steve Irwin to defend their mother ship.
32:25Maybe the Sea Shepherds' plan will work after all.
32:35Where is our harpoon ship?
32:40There they are.
32:40The harpoon boats are now within range of the dinghies. A first small success for the environmentalists.
32:55The Sea Shepherds are preparing to attack the harpoon ships.
33:01Hey Gemini, the Yushinmaru is approaching.
33:06We are on standby.
33:07We are on standby.
33:10Let's just wait for them. And when they come, we'll kick their asses.
33:18I felt ready for the mission. But I'm still nervous about provoking a conflict.
33:32They are coming closer.
33:33The Yushinmaru changes course.
33:48She's coming towards us.
33:52Actually on the Nishinmaru.
33:54Have you ever looked outside?
33:58What does that mean? She's coming toward the Nishinmaru. She's coming straight toward us.
34:03Apparently, the Yushinmaru 1's mission is not to protect its mother ship, but to attack the Steve Irwin.
34:17Now the Sea Shepherds are suddenly on the defensive.
34:20Where are Gemini and Delta? They're supposed to drive in front of the bow, then they'll turn away.
34:33Gemini, go to Yushinmaru.
34:34Roger, hello.
34:38We should distract them?
34:41To divert attention from the Steve Irwin, the boat teams are supposed to attack the harpoon ship.
34:46The crew members do not yet know whether the crew of the harpoon ships is also equipped with an L-Rat.
35:01Where is this fucking L-Rat?
35:03Here, above the footbridge.
35:05The Sea Shepherds' suspicions are confirmed. The Yushinmaru also has this extremely effective device.
35:17They're just setting it up.
35:18If you get hit by it, you just lie on the ground shaking.
35:28The Yushinmaru 1 is now less than one nautical mile away from the Steve Irwin.
35:33It is approaching quickly, so the boat crews do not have much time to carry out their attack.
35:38The Yushinmaru 1 is now less than one nautical mile away from the Steve Irwin.
36:08The operation must be aborted.
36:20In order not to endanger the crew, Simon Avery tries to get out of the line of fire as quickly as possible.
36:29Meanwhile, the Yushinmaru continues to head directly towards the Steve Irwin.
36:47We were afraid that the Yushinmaru might damage our ship.
36:55The matter has now reached an intensity that we have never experienced before.
37:01The dinghy crews are supposed to use a propfowler to divert the ship away from us.
37:05As last time, the Sea Shepherds use the attack code Tora, Tora, Tora, Tora for the command to eject the Propfowler.
37:23He is supposed to disable the propeller of the harpoon ship.
37:26The propfowler is 40 meters long. You cast it out from the bow and hope it catches the ship's propeller.
37:38You have to keep your legs in the boat, otherwise the line will break overboard.
37:48It's dangerous because you have to get very close.
37:53The timing of such an operation has to be 100 percent right.
37:57So far, all three attempts by the Sea Shepherds have failed.
37:59The Japanese whalers consider this action to be illegal.
38:16The two dinghies have one last chance to stop the Yoshinmaru before it reaches the Steve Irwin.
38:26Did you eject him?
38:28I'll take a look.
38:44Do you see the leash?
38:49You did it.
38:53They drove over it.
38:55Now he is stepping down.
38:58Which direction?
38:59No idea.
39:02The Yoshinmaru is slowing down.
39:04This could be a sign that the propfowler has fulfilled its task.
39:14What do you think?
39:18Do you see the leash?
39:20Do you see them?
39:20Positive.
39:23She's over here.
39:26She is with Chris.
39:31You cast the line, but not in front of the bow.
39:34And now she's floating in the water.
39:36The action does not succeed even on the fourth attempt.
39:43The Yoshinmaru continues to follow the Steve Irwin at full speed.
39:48Are you catching up?
39:49Yes.
39:50Yes.
39:50Yes.
39:54The Yoshinmaru pulls a line behind it.
39:59Do you see them?
40:06There are two.
40:08From the boat or in the water?
40:11From the boat into the water.
40:14They also have a propfowler.
40:15If we drive over it, we're in trouble.
40:31It's a bit frustrating that they're now using our tactics against us.
40:40If the whalers succeed in disabling the Steve Irwin’s propeller,
40:44The Sea Shepherds drift helplessly in the Southern Ocean, surrounded by the Japanese whaling fleet.
40:54We were afraid they would use the Propfowler against us.
40:57And we didn't know what they would do to us if our ship was no longer maneuverable.
41:06How long is the leash?
41:08No idea.
41:11Gemini, Bridge, over.
41:14How long is the leash?
41:22About 50 meters.
41:25One ship's length.
41:31Are we allowed to defend ourselves?
41:33Throw, shoot.
41:35You are not allowed to go before our bow.
41:36They tried to intimidate us.
41:45We were desperate to prevent them from attacking us while our ship was drifting at sea without power.
41:52If he's here, you turn to starboard. And if he's on the other side, you turn to bow.
41:57The only way we can avoid the Propfowler is to always drive in the same direction as you.
42:06Just throw.
42:17Hard starboard.
42:18Where are you?
42:26Hard to port.
42:30We need to slow down.
42:33Yes, yes. Hard to port.
42:38Hard starboard.
