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.
00:40This is the first time in 30 years I've seen a whale brought onto a factory ship. We have to get these guys.
00:47The Yushinmaru 3 is currently chasing two whales. They are swimming at 17 knots to escape.
00:57They shot him.
01:02They're killing while we're here.
01:05This must not happen.
01:07This death must not have been in vain.
01:11We must place our ship between the Yushinmaru and the harpoon ships to stop the pigs.
01:16We won't give up. We have to keep at it.
01:23What else are we doing here?
01:26We have to finish it.
01:27Today is a special day in the Sea Shepherds’ long mission.
01:43Since the morning, environmentalists have had to watch as Japanese whalers killed four whales
01:50and three of them have already been processed on their factory ship.
01:58It will stay at the three.
02:03The harpoon ship Yushinmaru 3 approaches the Nishinmaru with the killed whale,
02:08where the animal is to be prepared for sale on site.
02:12The Sea Shepherds' fuel supplies are running low.
02:16So they don't have much time left to stop the whalers from doing their work.
02:25I didn't know what Paul was up to.
02:28But we absolutely had to stop the whalers from bringing another whale on board.
02:34What is the plan?
02:36So, they'll hand over the whale over there and the harpoon boat will come from here.
02:49We pierce right through and cut the rope.
02:52And hopefully we'll rip the whole harpoon off the deck.
02:54Captain Paul Watson wants to try to cut the rope with the Steve Irwin,
03:04which the whalers use to pull the killed whale aboard the Nishinmaru.
03:10This maneuver is extremely dangerous and requires perfect timing.
03:14This could get pretty intense in the next half hour.
03:25Paul won't let them bring the whale on board.
03:31We simply had to give our all in our fight for the whales.
03:36We'll finish them.
03:38We're here to finish you off.
03:40We don't have to do it anymore.
03:44The world is a vampire
03:48Set to rotate
03:52Secret destroyers
03:56Hold you up to the flames
04:01And what do I get
04:04For my pain
04:08The Sea Shepherds are still following the Nishinmaru, the factory ship of the Japanese whaling fleet.
04:37One of the harpoon ships, the Yushinmaru 2, is lurking near the Steve Irwin so it can intervene immediately in an emergency.
04:46Meanwhile, the Yushinmaru 3 approaches the factory ship with a killed whale.
04:51That one has a whale and the others are shielding their tax building time.
04:55Are we falling behind?
05:07No.
05:11I'll stay on the starboard side.
05:12Captain Paul Watson receives a request for a telephone interview.
05:21Therefore, the second officer, Pedro Montiero, takes over the helm until the Yushinmaru 3 is close enough to perform the maneuver.
05:28We are still trying to disrupt Walz's transfer.
05:36Down to 60.
05:42We are still faster than them.
05:44They are now more to the side, over here.
05:55We have to be careful that they don't get too far away.
06:00They slowed down and I had to make sure they didn't get to our helideck.
06:06Where are they?
06:12There.
06:16What are they doing over there?
06:19Montiero positioned the Steve Irwin in front of the Yushinmaru, so that it is now in the perfect position to bring the whale on board.
06:31Reduce speed.
06:32You should never have overtaken her.
06:37They have become slower.
06:40So what? Are they driving straight ahead?
06:47Get going again?
06:49Yes.
06:51Watson attempts a daring maneuver to circle the Yushinmaru and then return to her glide path.
07:02Slow down.
07:14We need to get faster.
07:20We turned to port and she turned to starboard.
07:24The bow of the Yushinmaru was about 50 meters from our stern.
07:30If we had collided, we would certainly have sunk.
07:38Full speed ahead.
07:40That's already the maximum.
07:46Be careful.
07:47Stop.
07:47Stop.
07:48Let me know when we're over.
08:12We're over.
08:14We just barely scraped past the bow of the Yushinmaru.
08:23We were really lucky.
08:27How close was it?
08:29Approximately 5 meters in front of the helideck.
08:31The bow was directly above us.
08:35In the event of a collision, the helideck would have been torn away in one piece.
08:39I was really scared.
08:43After this delicate maneuver, Chris Altman prefers to quickly take off from the deck of the Steve Irwin.
08:50Chris wants to get off the ship.
08:57The bow of the Yushinmaru missed us by only three meters.
09:01So we took off as quickly as the checklist allowed.
09:04Now the Yushinmaru 3 is approaching the Nishinmaru to unload the whale.
09:15But the Steve Irwin is not yet in position.
09:17In order for the Sea Shepherds' plan to work, Captain Watson must reach the Nishinmaru's gliding path before the Yushinmaru 3.
09:39As the Yushinmaru 3 approaches the factory ship, the Yushinmaru 2 turns away.
09:47They make way for the Yushinmaru 3.
10:00It is quite dangerous to place the Steve Irwin between the harpoon ship and the factory ship.
10:06But it was necessary to send a signal that they cannot continue with this.
10:10What they could do could not continue.
10:15Paul will not allow the transfer.
10:17It was extremely dangerous, so they didn't know what to expect from us.
10:29Faster, if possible.
10:34We have to try. The last few times they only succeeded because we were never fast enough to get close to them.
10:40The classic scaredy-cat game, but I won't back down.
10:50Faster.
10:57Slower?
10:59No.
10:59They turn away.
11:14Good thing they're gone. Otherwise we would have crashed right into them.
11:20Paul is doing really well.
11:21Captain Watson did it.
11:28The killed whale was not unloaded from the Yushinmaru 3 as planned.
11:33A first success after weeks of disappointment.
11:39They must finally understand that we are a serious threat to them.
11:42Maybe they're not as stupid as I thought. Well done, Paul.
11:51Well done.
11:54That's why we have to keep at it.
11:55Looks like the Yushinmaru 3 is turning.
12:21We'll stay tuned.
12:25They sit right behind us.
12:30The Sea Shepherds’ triumph is short-lived.
12:34The Yushinmaru 3 has not given up, but is approaching the Nishinmaru again to unload the whale.
12:43The whale meat will spoil if they do not process it in time.
12:47Therefore, they wanted to bring the whale to Nishinmaru quickly.
12:49The International Whaling Commission (IWC) tolerates the sale of by-products of whales killed in the name of science on the open market.
13:02However, the precious whale meat on the Yushinmaru 3 is about to spoil.
13:07In numbers, this would mean a loss of about 70,000 euros in the whalers' accounts.
13:13Twelve hours, right?
13:15Yes, a lot of heat is generated in the body. Dr. Miller can probably explain that better.
13:22They maintain their core temperature for a long time and therefore decompose quickly.
13:26Once the harpoon ship is in position, Captain Watson will attempt to cut the transfer cable.
13:40They try again!
13:45We couldn't save the whale, but we at least wanted to prevent them from making a profit from it.
13:52We are trying to get into the right position to stop the slaughter.
14:04Are they there?
14:07They are coming closer.
14:08They really step on the gas.
14:10Everyone on the ship was tense. I knew Paul wasn't just standing around watching this.
14:33He's pushing us away.
14:40The Yushimaru 3 positions itself to transfer the whale to the factory ship.
14:50Captain Watson and the Steve Irwin only have a small window of opportunity in which to cut the cable.
14:56Only with perfect timing can the action succeed.
14:59We have to hurry and catch them before they come in.
15:02I'm driving towards this opening.
15:12Now we must use our ship to defend the whales.
15:20The throwing team is ready.
15:24Cast from the bow.
15:27Butyric acid from the bow.
15:28During this maneuver, the launchers will be only a few meters away from the whalers.
15:38So far they have always attacked from a safe distance.
15:53Time for a break.
15:56We are at 76.
15:57Be careful at the bow.
16:00They can do it.
16:22They throw back.
16:23There's the leash.
16:30They pull them over.
16:32Fast.
16:36We can't do it.
16:44It's our turn.
16:56It's our turn.
17:03Finish them off.
17:08Hold onto.
17:13Hold onto.
17:20Stop!
17:21Stop!
17:22Stop!
17:23Hold on, everybody. Hold on.
17:53Back off.
17:55Back.
18:19Are you okay?
18:21Can someone take a look at the damage?
18:24Yes.
18:35Are you checking the bug?
18:41So far, so good. No holes.
18:44The anchor probably took the biggest hit.
18:58We caught them with the anchor.
19:01We hit them with the anchor.
19:14After a brief damage assessment, the crew is relieved that the outer hull is not seriously damaged.
19:20The anchor absorbed most of the impact.
19:23I thought we were going to tip over. Well done.
19:30You shouldn't mess with Sea Shepherd. Killing whales in front of us was a huge mistake.
19:36I wish we could have done more. But it was also very satisfying.
19:40That was really hardcore. We really got them.
19:54I'm glad to be part of something where the leader has the biggest balls of all.
19:59He just keeps going and never gives up.
20:01That was simply fantastic.
20:07Unbelievable. As I was taking photos, a lot of stuff flew past my hands.
20:14Those were golf balls.
20:17They had real anger in their eyes.
20:20The Sea Shepherds believe they have sent a clear message.
20:24But the whalers continue to do their work.
20:27They bring him over.
20:30The Sea Shepherds gave their all.
20:34But now they have to watch helplessly as the fourth wall is pulled up the slide that day.
20:44The Yushinmaru 3 came running and they managed to get the wall on board.
20:49We couldn't block them because we were too slow.
20:51We built the wall anyway. There's nothing we can do at the moment.
21:07Looking at the results, it's discouraging. We need to develop new tactics to become more effective.
21:21We couldn't stop them from unloading because we were too slow. But we can only work with what we have available.
21:35The intense confrontation with the whalers has tested the Sea Shepherds' resolve and also depleted their supplies.
21:51We'll soon run out of gas. Let's see what we can do in the next few days.
22:08The mood is already subdued. But then things get even worse.
22:18Should we be worried?
22:20First Officer Peter Hammerstadt receives a worrying call from a team member below deck.
22:27How much damage is there?
22:29There is a serious problem with the Steve Irwin.
22:32Dan Babawi has just discovered that ice-cold water is flowing through the ship's outer hull into the interior.
22:54We ran to the bow without knowing what was going on.
23:08A few people are checking the outer hull at the front. Let me know before we hit anything.
23:14Where are they?
23:15They're checking the bow. So don't ram anything now.
23:18The first engineer, Charles Hutchins, personally checks the leak to determine how serious the situation is.
23:32I see daylight.
23:34There was a leak everywhere.
23:41Wool, wool, wool, wool, wool, everywhere.
23:49The leak in one of the ship's storage rooms is not insignificant.
23:57And it lies dangerously close to the water surface.
24:04The hole must be patched as soon as possible.
24:08The sea is getting rougher now and a lot of water would come through here.
24:16Hundreds of liters of water would shoot through such a hole with every wave.
24:20Every ten seconds like a fire engine.
24:27That would be a problem in rough seas.
24:36Willie should weld it.
24:39A lot of water would get through there.
24:42That's why we weld it shut.
24:44Captain Watson instructs the crew to seal the leak as quickly as possible to avoid endangering the crew's safety.
24:57How far away are they?
25:01One and a half nautical miles.
25:10The outer shell was pierced, which was not without its consequences.
25:14It's hard to weld very well when there's water everywhere, drawing away the heat.
25:31It then becomes a weak, crystalline weld that is very hard.
25:36Cracks can easily occur there.
25:37The men below deck hurry to close the hole in the outer hull.
25:45Meanwhile, Peter Hammerstedt continues to follow the Nishinmaru from the bridge.
25:52It drinks a little water.
25:54Remember this before we drive somewhere through bad weather.
25:56The outer shell is sealed again.
26:22The Sea Shepherds continue their hunt for the Nishinmaru and hope to disrupt the whalers for as long as possible.
26:30The Harpoon ships are now 14 nautical miles behind us.
26:36They are trying to make money.
26:38But now they will have in mind that their ship could be damaged during the next transfer.
26:43We just keep blocking the slide.
26:45Since their last refueling in Hobart, the Sea Shepherds have traveled 7,000 nautical miles.
26:55After the last maneuvers, which cost a lot of fuel, the environmentalists must slowly start thinking about their journey home.
27:03But when they actually turn back is decided solely by Captain Paul Watson.
27:07Everyone has mixed feelings. We have to go back. But a part of you says we should finish the job down here.
27:19We always allow for a two-day buffer, because you shouldn't leave it to chance.
27:23We'll have to turn back in a few hours because we don't have much fuel left.
27:44The captain said we should turn north, towards Scott Island.
27:53We were almost out of fuel and had to return to Hobart.
28:04I hate going home because then they'll be killing whales again without being disturbed.
28:13You can't enjoy the ride home knowing that a body is being pierced by a harpoon.
28:23The sun was setting and we only saw its bubble in the distance.
28:43You could see how many herds of whales were out there. And it was beautiful.
28:47So many whales swim side by side there. It's encouraging.
29:04It was almost like a little celebration, but I didn't want to allow myself to enjoy it.
29:08I know we've done everything we can, but it feels strange leaving them out here alone while they die.
29:15The Sea Shepherds are on their way back to Tasmania.
29:33Meanwhile, the news of the latest collision with the harpoon ship is getting wider coverage than expected.
29:38The Japanese call us terrorists in a press release.
29:45The Japanese whalers have released videos taken from the Nishinmaru and the Yushinmaru 3.
29:52In the press release, the owner of the whaling fleet describes the Sea Shepherds as a group of extremists who deliberately ram other ships.
30:10He demands that the international community prohibit the Dutch ship from carrying out further criminal activities at sea.
30:17Captain Watson must now react quickly and present his version of events to the media.
30:31I wouldn't say we rammed the ship. We wanted to prevent them from unloading a whale.
30:42And in doing so, the Yushinmaru 3 moved directly in front of us. The result of this action was a collision.
30:50We must try to spread our message through the media.
30:55We've been down here for five years now and have never hurt anyone. So we're certainly not criminals.
31:07The incident is now being hotly debated.
31:12Today, anti-whaling activists collided with a Japanese whaling ship in the Antarctic.
31:17The activists rammed the stern of the whaling ship Yushinmaru.
31:24Tokyo has strongly criticized the incident and described it as an act of violence.
31:29Anti-whaling campaigners, however, claim that they only wanted to prevent the transfer of a whale to the factory ship.
31:34These are the key scenes of the conflict.
31:40Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd says the whalers have cut off their path.
31:44The Japanese government denies this.
31:46Anger over the incident was expressed at a Senate hearing today.
31:53The matter has been referred to the Australian Embassy in Tokyo, which is demanding a thorough investigation.
32:00He may have endangered the safety of the Yushinmaru III crew by ramming the ship.
32:10Is that right?
32:11These are the allegations.
32:14Under international law, the Japanese government’s allegations must be investigated.
32:22The Sea Shepherds have no idea of the extent of the media coverage.
32:27They are looking forward to returning to Hobart and seeing their friends and relatives again after three months at sea.
32:36I'm looking forward to going home and getting some rest.
32:39Going to the beach and things like that.
32:48When I come home, what I look forward to most is spending a lot of time with my girlfriend.
32:53When we get to Hobart, I'll most likely have a few beers with my friends.
33:07Giving your all and risking your life together with 50 volunteers is definitely an incredible experience.
33:21But I will also never forget the whales on the slipway that were slaughtered.
33:25It was an incredible experience. I'm a different person now.
33:40I think one can look back with satisfaction.
33:47We've done some exciting things that we hope will make a difference.
33:50I firmly believe in it.
33:56I'm shaving for once because I'm getting married today.
34:04Molly and Andy asked me if I would marry them.
34:09I think Scott Island would be ideal for this because I'm sure no one has ever gotten married there.
34:14And if you're getting married, it should be something unique.
34:17I am now a unique ceremony.
34:20Unbelievable, a rock in the middle of nowhere.
34:34I'm incredibly happy. There's no better place than a cliff face in Antarctica during an incredible adventure.
34:42The idea of getting married at sea in front of a few activists just fits.
34:52And from the captain of a pirate ship, too.
34:57Richard made these out of a fork and a spoon.
35:01I think Andy will like them. That's exactly his style.
35:03We are standing here in the middle of a lonely rock and in front of me are a man and a woman.
35:21Molly, you are my friend, my lover, my muse and my siren, whose song has reached me even in the stormiest waters.
35:33You mean everything to me.
35:34I want to be the person who doesn't have to ask you how you're doing because they already know.
35:39I want to be the person who pushes you to be your best, who knows and loves you completely.
35:50I want to wake up next to you and be the first to see your beautiful smile.
35:55I wish that our days are full of love and friendship and that we enjoy them to the fullest.
36:01I want to grow old with you.
36:03I want to look at you one day and think that I have had a wonderful life.
36:07And I want you to think the same thing when you see me.
36:15At this moment, I carry in my heart our families who unfortunately cannot be with us.
36:21But they understand what this means to us.
36:24I hope that we can be beacons of light for one another, even in the darkest hours.
36:29I wish we never go to bed angry.
36:32And I wish that we support each other’s activism
36:36and manage to improve the world together.
36:41Do you want to marry Molly?
36:43Yes.
36:44Do you want to marry Andrew?
36:46Yes.
36:48They set out on a journey together to do something right.
36:51This covenant shows us how strong love can make us.
36:55Feel the wind as it envelops us and hear its voice.
36:57I wish that we would embrace each other, that we would be embraced.

37:57The whaling fleet will try to correct the poor catch quota next year.
38:10We will be there too and hopefully we will be even more effective.
38:15I've already signed up for next year. It's addictive to make a difference.
38:27When the ships crashed together, they knew how far we'd go. And hopefully that will make them flee from us again next year.
38:38We will not stop as long as the whalers do their job.
38:42We'll come back even stronger. Next year we'll finish them.
38:52We feel our mission was very successful. And in about seven months, we'll be back there to disrupt the Japanese whalers.
39:01We will go straight to the Japanese forests.
39:03As the Steve Irwin docks in Hobart Harbour, the citizens wait.
39:33We are already turning to environmentalists.
39:43The Sea Shepherds still don't know exactly what they did to deserve this special welcoming committee.
39:52The Australian Federal Police have now intervened in the fight between Japanese whalers and environmental activists.
39:59The police were already waiting for the Sea Shepherds when they docked in Hobart.
40:05Where are you going?
40:13I'm supposed to come to the captain at the book.
40:16Who knows what's legal or illegal out here? This is the Wild West. We're in a legal gray area.
40:24There are probably a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out.
40:36We would like to ask Peter Hammerstedt a few questions.
40:42They want to talk to you.
40:45Were there any deaths or illnesses?
40:54No. Just wanted to be sure.
40:58Switch off for a moment.
41:01What's up?
41:07Meeting. Team mess.
41:12Measurement
41:12Australian police have confirmed that they searched the Steve Irwin following complaints from the Japanese government.
41:36The Sea Shepherds sail under their pirate flag and have a reputation for crossing borders to save whales.
41:41Yesterday, a Senate hearing was held for the first time on this issue to take further action under international law.
41:54That's all we know about the police investigation.
42:02May I have your attention for a moment?
42:04My name is Federal Agent Jason MacArthur of the Australian Federal Police.
42:08On February 6, Paul Franklin Watson endangered the safety of the crew of the Yushin Maro III by intentionally causing a collision with the ship.
42:17We are now examining photos, notes, so-called propfoulers, logbooks, route information and nautical charts.
42:24Information, navigational, plotting, charts.
42:26That's all we see.
42:56With this arrest warrant we are seeking the following members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
43:01Christopher Patrick Oldman, Simon Louis Avery, Lawrence de Roth, Peter Oller-Hammerstedt, Malcolm Wesley Holland, Molly Kendall, Andrew Charles Perry, Jane Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Franklin Watson and the ship Steve Irwin.
43:18Are there any questions about the execution of the arrest warrant?
43:20Are there any questions about the execution of the arrest warrant?
43:21Speed balance of the rescue of the detention center?
43:22Do you have any questions about the VSA page of the Haftbeirstv?
43:23Do you have any questions about the VSA page of the Haftbe 1948 House?
43:24Do you have any questions about the VSA side of the liability insurance?
43:26Are there any questions about the VSA side of the detention center?
