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.
00:21The whalers, however, argue that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:26Both parties feel they are in the right.
00:28The environmentalists are prepared to do anything, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:37Last time at Whale Wars.
00:40Today the killing ends.
00:43We can stop illegal whaling in the Southern Ocean. And if I die in the process, so be it.
00:50What's that? Next to the harpoon ship on the port side.
00:53They don't have a whale, don't worry.
01:00Yes, he was just pulled up the slide.
01:04For the first time, they are killing whales before our eyes.
01:09Shocking. You're shaking, your heart is racing, and you're just plain angry.
01:12I never thought I would see this.
01:24There's still blood on the slideway. It must be from the upper deck.
01:27The Sea Shepherds have been at sea for 65 days.
01:33They have tried various actions to stop the whalers from doing their work.
01:38But now, for the first time in Sea Shepherd's history, a whale has been killed in front of environmental activists.
01:44Blood is coming out of the sides. We need to cover the deck with butyric acid.
01:51The Sea Shepherds believe that the actions of the harpoon ships were merely diversionary tactics to allow whaling to resume undisturbed.
02:00I was really angry. This shouldn't have happened.
02:04That was a turning point. I wanted to do anything I could to stop it.
02:17Are we allowed to throw?
02:20The butyric acid makes working on deck very unpleasant. And you can't sell the whale meat afterward.
02:25There is a lot at stake for the Sea Shepherds.
02:37It is essential that you prevent whalers from processing the whale and preparing the meat for sale.
02:43If they fail to do so, they will have to consider new, more effective methods.
02:55Now they've gone too far. They have a whale on deck. Now things are getting more intense.
03:06We will stop them from bringing another whale onto the Nishinmaru.
03:11Paul is pretty pissed off. And so am I.
03:12I know, I am.

03:55The Japanese whalers are no longer impressed by the presence of the Sea Shepherds and kill whales right in front of their eyes.
04:18Captain Paul Watson has the crew prepare everything for a butyric acid attack.
04:22Our tactics are economic. We want to save as many whales as possible and cost the whalers as much money as possible.
04:35They get about 170,000 euros for a minke whale and about 700,000 for a fin whale. Money makes the world go round.
04:43We just have to try to get the whole Flens deck dirty.
04:57Captain Paul Watson wants to send a clear message.
05:01Even if the whalers have managed to kill a whale, they should now be prevented from selling the meat for profit.
05:08The water cannons are powerful.
05:20If you go under there, you're really in trouble.
05:23In order to get the butyric acid bottles through the nets on the Nishinmaru,
05:30Captain Watson has to bring the Steve Irwin dangerously close to the factory ship's water cannons.
05:36But even a single bottle on deck would be a success for the Sea Shepherds.
05:44Ship now!
05:44Next to it.
06:06Hey, Jack!
06:07Did anyone hit?
06:36The bottles are ready, but as soon as we get close to the Nishinmaru, the water cannons come into play.
06:53We have no chance of making a good throw.
06:59Back online.
07:00This is the first time in 30 years that I've seen a whale killed. It makes you wonder if more could have been done.
07:13Watson has to slow down to protect the crew from the water cannons and allow Chris Altman to
07:19to safely prepare the helicopter for its next reconnaissance flight.
07:23I let myself fall back.
07:27This is a huge disappointment and shows how important it is that we are here.
07:38How many whales can you see per day?
07:40Ten.
07:41Why are they so close together?
08:05The second officer, Pedro Montiero, has spotted another harpoon ship near the Nishinmaru.
08:14They have a whale.
08:17Where?
08:18On the port side, you can't see him.
08:22The whalers now go about their work completely unfazed.
08:31Chris Altman is to assess the situation from the air.
08:35Confirm, the Nishinmaru 1 has a whale.
08:50We have to stop these guys.
08:52Full speed ahead.
08:57After not a single butyric acid bottle reached its destination,
09:00Captain Paul Watson decides to steer the Steve Irwin directly between the Nishinmaru's gliding path and the harpoon ships,
09:08so that the whalers cannot unload their catch.
09:13We are just one knot faster than the Nishinmaru.
09:16It's like racing bicycles.
09:18Only the Nishinmaru has a much bigger bike.
09:21The engines of the harpoon ships are far superior to those of the Steve Irwin.
09:32We're doing 15 knots and we're not getting any closer.
09:37They'll have the cable on board soon.
09:39Do they have a leash?
09:46They're bringing the whale over now.
09:48Cable on board.
10:14Emotions are already running high.
10:27It is violent to see a whale covered in blood being pulled up the slide.
10:33Now we probably have to do more to prevent this from happening again.
10:44The emotions on the ship were overwhelming. Disappointment, anger. They beat us.
11:02I'm so angry. How did they get the whale?
11:06How could they get a whaler?
11:36We have to stay with them and stop them.
11:46Watson gives the green light for a butyric acid attack on the harpoon ship.
11:51We should be able to hit them easily from up here.
11:55Then the killing of whales will stop.
12:06Do not pull on people.
12:14Go!
12:15We were able to land a few hits on the Yushin Maru 2.
12:44I scored once, Dan twice.
12:50This stinks all the way here.
12:55The Yushin Maru 2 turns away. Now the Nishin Maru's slipway is unprotected.
13:02The Yushin Maru has withdrawn.
13:06Follow us?
13:07Yes.
13:09What are they doing there?
13:13The harpoon ship has fallen behind, but it is significantly faster than the Steve Irwin and could therefore push itself back between the Sea Shepherds and the Nishin Maru at any time.
13:23The stern line is ready if we need it.
13:32Throw them out.
13:34Can you do that, Mel?
13:37We are now trying to keep the Yushin Maru 2 at a distance with a stern line.
13:41You certainly don't want to take any risks, especially if the rope is tied to another ship.
13:57The Sea Shepherds have already used this tactic successfully in recent weeks.
14:02Therefore, they also want to try the Yushin Maru 2, which is still following them closely.
14:24The stern line is intended to ensure that the harpoon boat does not come too close to us.
14:28At the end there is a bright buoy that clearly signals: do not come any closer.
14:39Is the stern line still out?
14:42Yes.
14:51They keep their distance.
14:52Yes.
14:52The Yushin Maru falls back and moves away from the Nishin Maru.
15:00The Sea Shepherds’ plan worked.
15:03But a dead whale still lies on the deck of the factory ship.
15:13When Paul Watson brings the Steve Irwin even closer to the Nishin Maru, the whalers initially resist verbally.
15:19Go to channel 16 and tell them that the IWC, above all, condemns the illegal whaling they practice.
15:40They should stop doing that.
15:41The International Whaling Commission has indeed criticized the actions of Sea Shepherds and called on them to
16:01to refrain from dangerous maneuvers that endanger the safety of crew members.
16:05However, the IWC has also repeatedly called on Japan to stop whaling under the guise of research.
16:18Neither side intends to give in and so the hunt continues.
16:25Suddenly another harpoon boat appears, lying motionless in the water.
16:29They're hunting again.
16:41The one south of us also held one. Check that out.
16:50Chris Altman heads to the Yushin Maru 3 to check if another whale has been killed.
16:56There are already a lot of birds there.
17:19The Yushin Maru 3 also has a whale.
17:26In about 20 minutes we will see the third whale being brought on board.
17:50I'm still in shock.
18:04We have to stay close to them so this doesn't happen again.
18:13Apparently, the whalers continue their work unfazed by the actions of the Sea Shepherds.
18:18The Yushin Maru 3 is now bringing the third whale killed to the factory ship.
18:26The Sea Shepherds can't do anything about it.
18:29They asked themselves, what would they do if we killed a whale right in front of them?
18:35You must not get him on board.
18:38After twelve hours, the dead whales begin to decompose in the water.
18:47This happens very quickly with these animals.
18:51What is the plan?
18:53If they pull the whale up, we'll stop them.
18:56We'll stay right here, then they can't do it again.
18:59We wanted to stay close to the glide and block it.
19:08It was clear that if we fell behind, the whalers would immediately try to bring the whale on board.
19:13We're almost out of fuel.
19:22So we have to refuel quickly, then we'll fly off again straight away.
19:28It's best to do this while the harpoon ship is still far away.
19:33Slow down.
19:33Captain Watson has to slow down so that helicopter pilot Chris Altman can land safely.
19:44Until the helicopter is stored in the hangar, it must not be hit by the Nishinmaru's water cannons under any circumstances.
19:50Otherwise it could be seriously damaged.
20:03Once Altman has landed, the Yushinmaru 3 approaches the mother ship.
20:09The Sea Shepherds are therefore under enormous time pressure.
20:14The harpoon ship is getting closer and closer.
20:23You'll be there in 3.67 miles.
20:27What about the helicopter?
20:31They do it as fast as they can.
20:33It's almost time.
20:45In 2 minutes they will be at the Nishinmaru.
20:51The helicopter has to go.
20:59They are fast.
21:00I have to wait for the helicopter.
21:05Is he gone?
21:13Could they have happened that far?
21:17Did Chris start?
21:19No idea.
21:20When do you start?
21:26In a minute.
21:33Are you finally in the air?
21:40We are on the way.
21:42We have to get our ship between the Nishinmaru and the harpoon ship,
21:52so that the bastards don't get another Wahl on their factory ship.
22:00We now attach the pull rope.
22:04We don't have much time left.
22:14The Steve Irwin appears to be too slow to intercept the harpoon ship.
22:18We absolutely have to stay on top of them.
22:24That won't work.
22:34The Sea Shepherds didn't make it.
22:59The third whale is now also being processed on the whaling fleet’s factory ship.
23:04Every additional whale was like a stab in the heart.
23:16And people thought, another one whose death we didn't prevent.
23:20That was the third whale.
23:35A very small minke whale.
23:37This is really shit.
23:38Faster.
23:54Faster.
24:01I now lead the throwing team.
24:03And?
24:04Just let me know.
24:07You decide when you throw.
24:08If we even make it that far.
24:14Does he see it now?
24:16Not yet.
24:18The Sea Shepherds have only one option left.
24:21They must send a clear message to the Japanese whalers that they will not give up.
24:25The crew prepares their last butyric acid supplies for another attack.
24:31We need to focus and try to do something against them.
24:34All we could do was stand firm and show them that we would not retreat.
24:44No matter what happens.
24:45And that they can't just kill whales in front of our eyes.
24:47The whalers' ship is now within reach.
25:00Can you meet them from here?
25:02A little closer.
25:04It's close enough.
25:07You have to take cover.
25:08Bezinti.
25:22Bezinti.
25:30Bezinti.
25:38This must not happen again under any circumstances.
26:00Six or seven hits. But we don't have much butyric acid left. Can we get that close again?
26:05Let's see.
26:11Captain Watson remains with the Steve Irwin directly behind the Nishinmaru.
26:15The Sea Shepherds now want to see whether their attack has had the desired effect.
26:35They continue working.
26:45The Sea Shepherds' butyric acid attack failed.
26:48Understood. You continue working in the carcass.
26:59That was the lowest point. We felt completely helpless.
27:04Now they're probably cutting him open.
27:14Because of the water cannons we can't see what's happening.
27:24Blood is coming out of the scuppers again.
27:28We have about 45 crew members on board.
27:49On the Nishinmaru there are 120.
27:53Dozens of people are employed to cut up, pack, and freeze the whales.
28:00They prepare a 3-4 ton whale for the Japanese fish market in a very short time.
28:04The guy cuts the bubble.
28:28They just threw that overboard.
28:32There, right above Research's hair.
28:34The whale's entrails float in the water next to us.
29:02Horrible. A real nightmare.
29:04There are entrails floating around everywhere.
29:22Whale meat. Blood everywhere.
29:24I saw them cut him open.
29:26Terrible.
29:32I have to process this first.
29:34That was a slap in the face.
29:46It was always said that when they flee from us, they don't kill whales.
29:49Now we are half a nautical mile behind them and they are chasing.
29:52We always knew this was a possibility.
30:08But now they're actually doing it and we can't stop them.
30:13Our ship isn't fast enough to keep up with the harpoon ships.
30:16What can I say?
30:25It's so frustrating.
30:27So far, we have always stayed close to the Nishinmaru to prevent them from killing whales.
30:31And now they're killing them anyway.
30:33At the moment everyone is completely depressed.
30:35I don't know what else we can do.
30:45We gave it our all, but it probably wasn't enough.
30:49It feels like we have failed.
30:51I feel like a mistake today.
31:05When will we see what they are doing there?
31:19There are whales, right in front of them.
31:24The whalers already have the next animals in their sights.
31:27The Sea Shepherds were relegated to spectators.
31:30We knew they were killing whales.
31:36They have already brought whales to Nishinmaru.
31:38But it was surprising that they also actively hunt.
31:41They were completely absorbed in the matter.
31:42They were completely absorbed in the matter.
31:46All right, buddy.
31:47I'm at three o'clock and watching the Yushinmaru 3.
32:06They are currently hunting two whales.
32:07They swim at 17 knots to escape the ship.
32:23The whales cannot take in enough air to dive.
32:41It comes up right in front of her bow.
33:00There he was.
33:08Oh, s***.
33:11He has his finger on the trigger.
33:17Move, come on, damn it.
33:33Things aren't looking good for one election.
33:35Now he has shot him.
34:00Now he has shot him.
34:05Do you have it?
34:11Can you see him?
34:13No, he'll try to go underground one more time before he dies.
34:15Let's follow the leash.
34:41There he is.
34:42I hoped I'd never see anything like that.
34:52Really shocking.
34:59Just through your head.
35:00Do you smell the blood?
35:13It's the blood?
35:34Oh my God.
35:37Oh, look at that.
36:02The guy at the bow has a gun.
36:12Let us know if they're aiming at us.
36:32Now the death struggle begins.
36:48He has already shot him six times.
36:49I had to watch the whole thing for 25 minutes.
36:59That really wasn't easy.
37:02You can have seen all the documentaries in the world about it, but it's happening right in front of you and you hear the harpoon being fired.
37:11You can't prepare for this feeling.
37:13Oh.
37:19Now he is dead.
37:38Dealing with the emotions was really difficult.
37:42You just try to process what you just saw.
37:47But I will never forget that for the rest of my life.
37:49I think that will probably stay with me for the rest of my life.
38:08In the 35-year history of Sea Shepherd, this is the first time the crew has had to watch a whale being hunted and killed.
38:17He is tied to the ship.
38:37Watching a whale being killed with a harpoon is horrific.
38:41This moment can never be erased from memory.
38:44The killed whale is secured to the side of the ship and the harpoon ship makes its way to Nishinmaru, where the whale is processed.
39:01As with any misfortune, it takes some time to process everything.
39:22I just wanted to be alone, but I also had to tell the others what I had seen.
39:26We saw it all. The harpoon shot, the transport. They are incredibly efficient.
39:4720 minutes. Maximum.
39:54A killing machine.
39:58The harpoon is like an artillery cannon. I could feel the shot in the helicopter. It was incredibly loud.
40:04And the whales swam 16, 17 knots.
40:13They were in a panic.
40:18One cannot even imagine what the animals must go through when they are hit in the back by a harpoon.
40:26For the next 25 minutes they suffocate in their own blood.
40:33I immediately thought of Paul, who in his 35 years since leaving Greenpeace has never seen a whale die.
40:41I didn't know what he would do.
40:43Even though we are so close, they can prevent us from stopping them.
41:04They brought whales onto their factory ship right under our noses. So what are we even doing here?
41:16I would like to at least make the whale meat inedible.
41:22So that we feel better?
41:28They don't give a shit.
41:34The mood on the bridge is also depressed.
41:42Where is Paul?
41:43Where is Paul?
42:13He was really angry.
42:24We all had to leave the room. I still can't believe it all.
42:31Horrible, isn't it? I never thought we'd have to watch a whale being slaughtered.
42:36A real slap in the face.
42:39Damn shit.
42:40Pick up the ***.
42:41Pick up the ***.
42:41Captain Paul Watson is back. He has no intention of giving up the field to the whalers without a fight.
43:11We won't give up. That has always been our principle over the past few years.
43:29The Japanese must stop killing whales. What they started must be finished.
43:35What is the plan?
43:41Next time at Whale Wars.
43:50It's our turn.
43:51If we can't stop them from killing whales, then at least we can't stop them from making a profit from it.
44:07We'll finish them off.
44:11They pull the leash over.
44:13They're damn fast.
44:14Now we have to defend the whales with our ship.
44:18What?
44:19That was us đây!
44:19Höig on!
