00:00Since 2004, the Southern Ocean has been the scene of fierce fighting.
00:15The trigger for this is whaling in the Antarctic.
00:21The environmental organization Sea Shepherd is trying by all means to stop the Japanese whaling fleet.
00:27The leader of the activists is Captain Paul Watson.
00:32He has made it his life's work to put an end to the bloody goings-on.
00:38The Sea Shepherds believe that Japanese whalers are violating the international whaling ban.
00:45They, in turn, claim that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:49Both parties feel they are in the right and push themselves to the limit, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:57Last time at Whale Wars?
01:02What is that?
01:04There stands Research, the factory ship.
01:10The helicopter is ready for use again.
01:12We still have some work to do in Antarctica.
01:19We are blocking the Nishinmaru's glide path.
01:24They draw a circle.
01:30One harpoon ship after another circled us.
01:33They had obviously come up with a tactic.
01:35The Nishinmaru continued to pull away.
01:45After a month, the Sea Shepherds finally found the mother ship of the Japanese whaling fleet.
01:52The Nishinmaru.
01:53But now the factory ship is in danger of escaping again.
01:56The harpoon ships are circling the Bob Barker, forcing it to slow down.
02:00There is a gap between the two.
02:06To stay in the race, the Sea Shepherds must perform a risky maneuver.
02:12Into the gap.
02:16The Nishinmaru 3 never lets the Bob Barker out of its sight.
02:20The Sea Shepherds do not know what the whalers are planning.
02:22Pretty close.
02:44It's about to crash.
02:45Uh-oh.
02:49Here we go.
02:50Oh no, oh no, oh no.
02:52Oh man.
02:56Hold onto!
03:00What was that?
03:10I'll take a look at the damage.
03:13Big hit.
03:17We have a hole on the starboard side.
03:22The.
03:52Subtitling by ZDF for funk, 2017
04:22The Bob Barker was significantly damaged in the collision with the Yoshinmaru 3.
04:32But the Sea Shepherds don't have time to stop for repairs.
04:38Water is now shooting into the 60-year-old ship through a 90-centimeter hole.
04:43Rough seas. The bigger the waves, the bigger the problem.
04:55We won't sink, but we have water in the ship.
05:00Fortunately, the leak in the outer cave is above the water surface.
05:04But the machinists still have to quickly find a solution to close the hole.
05:08We must now show that nothing can stop us from blocking the slipway.
05:22Right now we are the winners because they don't kill whales.
05:25This is a huge success. And we'll continue to have successes like this until they retreat.
05:31We'll stay on top of them.
05:32Although the Bob Barker was badly damaged, the risk paid off.
05:39The Sea Shepherds are now directly behind the factory ship again.
05:47What happened?
05:50At 12:09 the Yushin Maru 3 collided with us on the starboard side.
05:55Is everyone okay?
05:56Yes, no injuries.
06:00Damage?
06:00A gap. 90 centimeters long and 10 wide.
06:08Apparently the Japanese believe they can do anything they want.
06:11They tested our resolve.
06:13Therefore, it was important not to give in.
06:16Stay directly behind the stern of the Nishin Maru.
06:19Then they can't surround you.
06:24Understood.
06:28Full speed ahead.
06:30We will bring them to their knees.
06:41They're missing out on a lot of money right now because they're not catching whales.
06:45And at the same time, they spend a lot of money on crews and devices to prevent changes.
06:49And they have to do this because of our actions.
06:56The Nishin Maru is the center of the whaling fleet.
07:00Last year, four dead whales were brought onto the factory ship in the presence of the Sea Shepherds.
07:05The crew of the Steve Irwin was demoted to extras.
07:08We absolutely have to stay on top of them.
07:13If the Sea Shepherds succeed in permanently blocking the Nishin Maru's slipway, the harpoon ships will not be able to unload the whales they have killed.
07:20No animal has been killed for 14 hours.
07:25But the whalers will certainly try everything to shake off their pursuers.
07:33They are desperate because they know they will not be able to kill any whales for the next four to six weeks.
07:38This breaks their necks financially.
07:40So they will act out of desperation.
07:42This should not surprise us.
07:44Where is number three?
07:50It doesn't move.
08:02Should I notify the bridge?
08:05Tell them to keep an eye on her.
08:11The Shonen Maru is catching up a bit.
08:14We see you, thank you.
08:19What are you planning?
08:24The deck crew should come up.
08:26The shonen is damn close.
08:30The Shonen is approaching our stern.
08:33And quickly.
08:39The Shonen Maru 2 has been on the Sea Shepherds' level several times during this mission.
08:44For three weeks, the reconnaissance ship prevented the Steve Irwin from reaching the fleet.
08:53A month ago, the Shonen Maru 2 collided with the Adi Gill, which later sank.
08:59Now the Bob Barker is in the sights of the whalers.
09:01Not long ago, the Adi Gill was rammed by them.
09:07The fleet has never been as unpredictable as this year.
09:10Are we allowed to throw if the Shonen Maru comes any closer?
09:20Yes.
09:24Will we back off the slippery slope when push comes to shove?
09:27The answer is no.
09:28I go to the Monkey Deck.
09:37Stay on the tail, okay?
09:42The crew is slowly becoming restless.
09:46They will ram us.
09:48We need to call for help.
09:49Amber Porman loses her nerve.
09:57I thought they were going to finish us off.
10:02Would be nice if the Steve Irwin was here.
10:07The Sea Shepherds fear that this maneuver could be just the beginning of an even more aggressive move,
10:12to protect the mother ship of the whaling fleet.
10:14Peter has to go down there.
10:20Watch out for the water cannon.
10:31Now it's getting wet.
10:39After what they did with the Adi Gill, we didn't know what was coming next.
10:43Will they drive straight towards us?
10:44We didn't know what to expect.
10:51The sighting vessel is approaching quickly from the port side.
10:54The crew is unsettled.
11:04The Sea Shepherds are preparing for a counterattack.
11:10Hurry, the schooner is damn close.
11:14The Bob Barker is having trouble keeping up with the factory ship.
11:23But giving up is not an option for her.
11:26Time for some stink bombs.
11:27The mood is for a stink bomb.
11:28The stink bombs.
11:29Let's take a look.
11:37In the air, we want to get up!
11:38Hurry, the Movers are here!
11:39The shoes are for a mountain of ass.
11:41The shoes are for a stink bomb.
11:42The shoes are for a stink bomb.
11:46With the 3-year-old stink bomb.
11:48The shoes are for a stink bomb.
11:49Bull's eye.
12:10They withdraw.
12:15Missed twice.
12:19Whether we hit the butyric acid or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that no whales are killed today. It's a damn good day.
12:29You can hit pretty well with them. The boys all ran behind the chimney.
12:36We boarded the factory ship and were exactly where we wanted to be. They wanted to intimidate us.
12:43Look what we're capable of. We can draw circles around you. What can you do about it? But we just didn't swipe back.
12:49They're falling behind. They're definitely not following us at the moment.
13:03Apparently, they're just staying behind us now. Just like we're staying behind the Nishinmaru. Like a small freight train.
13:08They'll probably follow us for a few hours and then consider a new tactic. The Steve Irwin is still two and a half or three days away.
13:19The Sea Shepherd mothership is still 800 nautical miles north of the whaling fleet.
13:24Meanwhile, journalists have also gotten wind of the collision between the Yushinmaru 3 and the Bob Barker.
13:31Four Harpoon ships surrounded the Bob Barker. They continued to approach, and when the Yushinmaru suddenly turned, it crashed into the side of the Bob Barker.
13:42New fighting between Japanese whalers and the environmental organization Sea Shepard.
13:51The crew of the Bob Barker claims that it was deliberately rammed.
13:56This year the Japanese are even more aggressive.
14:05We simply want to draw attention to their activities.
14:08There are seven billion people on earth, but only 77 are doing something to stop whaling.
14:13The more support we get, the more we can do.
14:17The ICR blames anti-whaling activists for the crash.
14:21The Japanese polling institute ICR issued the following press release about the incident.
14:29The Bob Barker suddenly approached the Yushinmaru 3 and attacked it with butyric acid bottles.
14:35When the Yushinmaru 3 tried to evade, a collision occurred.
14:41The Japanese call us eco-terrorists and pirates who behave illegally.
14:45In the six years we've been here, we've never been convicted of anything.
14:49We have never been sued or hurt anyone.
14:52We behave as responsibly as possible.
15:03They are back in formation.
15:07Are they keeping their distance?
15:10Yes.
15:10The Yushinmaru 2 and the other harpoon ships fall further back.
15:19Now the Sea Shepherds have time to take a closer look at the hole in the Bob Barker's outer hull.
15:24The entire side is damaged. We have to bend the steel back and then weld it.
15:31It's pretty difficult out here.
15:32It is not possible to weld the leak completely from the inside.
15:44Therefore, the boatswain Matt Kimura wants to abseil down the side of the ship,
15:48to check whether the hole can be closed from the outside.
15:52Is that tight enough?
15:53Since the Sea Shepherds cannot lose the Yushinmaru,
16:09Kimura has to do the repairs at full speed.
16:12Thanks.
16:28Wait until you get back.
16:30I was really worried.
16:43When the ship rolls, the water level rises and falls significantly.
16:46When Matt puts his head under water, an incredible force pulls at him.
16:53If Matt Kimura falls into the ice-cold water, he could be pulled under the Bob Barker.
17:00Wait until you get back.
17:25Wait until you get back.
17:30We can't weld that. There's too much water. We'd need calm seas to get down there.
17:52To prevent more and more water from entering the ship, Matt Kimura and Darius Fulmer try to temporarily seal the leak.
18:00We simply stuffed the PE foam from a life jacket in there. This is only temporary, to seal the leak.
18:13We can't weld until the weather is clear and dry. But it'll work.
18:30We're trying to clear the drain so the water can drain away. Everything here is clogged with rust and paint.
18:40I do it by hand.
19:00Is air coming out?
19:00Yes, looks good. This will work.
19:16200 nautical miles further north, First Officer Lockhart McLean makes some calculations for the encounter with the Bob Barker.
19:23Unbelievable, they're coming straight towards us.
19:32Here's the Nishimaru on the map. We're traveling along this red line. We'll meet there.
19:37Things might get serious sooner than we thought. We thought we wouldn't see her for another day and a half.
19:51To all crew members. There will be a brief update in the mess hall shortly.
19:54As for the whaling fleet, it's coming straight for us.
20:10The first 24 hours will be pretty hectic.
20:15In ten hours we will cross their course, at about half past five in the morning.
20:19They have been holding the course since 1 p.m.
20:24After a few months with a pursuer on our tail, we can now finally start where we can actually start the operation.
20:36I have been on many Antarctic missions.
20:43And every year the whalers became more aggressive.
20:47They have never been as aggressive as this year.
20:51Therefore, please be extra careful.
20:54I was worried about safety if the whalers were really aggressive.
21:05When it comes to security, communication is particularly important.
21:12There will be at least four or five radios on the ship.
21:15The team leaders will each have one and James will have one.
21:18If you see anything that could pose a safety risk, please report it immediately.
21:28Either the bridge or James in the engine room.
21:33Communication will be extremely important in the next few days.
21:37If anyone notices anything that might be dangerous, please let the bridge know.
21:40As soon as you think it could endanger the safety on board.
21:48Any confrontation could be dangerous.
21:51The new crew members should be aware of this.
21:53Just to be on the safe side.
22:01If a collision occurs, everyone should first look in the water behind the ship,
22:07whether anyone from either ship fell overboard.
22:12This is very important.
22:13Only then do we look at the damage.
22:20Did everyone understand that?
22:33The Sea Shepherds are now in the middle of the action.
22:36But they have a problem.
22:38When they refueled in port eight days ago, half of the crew disembarked.
22:42Now it is up to the new boatswain, James Brooke, to quickly train the newbies.
22:49Hold the leash tight.
22:51And if I ask you for help, then do it.
22:53And be careful while the boat is still on the hook.
22:57Are you ready?
22:59James Brooke is actually a punk rocker.
23:02But now he has to teach the new members discipline and order.
23:05This is obviously difficult for him.
23:07I was pretty stressed because Dan Bebaoui had four years of experience with the job and I had about four days.
23:17A little tighter.
23:26Take care of your head.
23:27Nicola Paris has also worked her way up.
23:32From dishwasher to Dex helper.
23:36Half the crew has never done this before and has never been involved in a confrontation with the fleet.
23:41We're starting completely from scratch.
23:46Pete Bethune doesn't understand the tense atmosphere on the Steve Irwin.
23:51I had no idea how good we had it on the Adi-Gill.
23:58Things are a little more serious on the Steve Irwin.
24:01This is so boring.
24:02It's so boring.
24:04Leon, you're on your mark, aren't you?
24:11Stop that.
24:14That will almost do it.
24:15The team urgently needs to train for the mission.
24:23Pete Bethune and his engineer Larry Rutledge escape to the workshop to think about a new tactic against the whalers.
24:32This is called an oxygen lance.
24:37A jet of fire comes out at 5000 degrees.
24:41We use it to cut propellers and things like that.
24:45Where is the instruction manual?
24:49At the top of the box.
24:53Pete and Larry together are like kids in a toy store.
24:57They want to try everything.
25:00The two Adi Gill members did not inform anyone about their plan.
25:05No idea what they were up to.
25:07We need to take out one of the whaling ships.
25:13And to do that, we have to somehow get under the ship unnoticed with diving equipment.
25:20Pete Bethune envisions diving under one of the harpoon ships and then cutting the propeller.
25:26We even have a fire extinguisher, we're professionals.
25:34Some of his ideas are pretty crazy.
25:41But that is precisely why he has many followers.
25:45Pete is a visionary because he has pretty radical ideas.
25:49The locking pin?
25:53They are not always bad.
25:54Are you ready to go?
25:56Good to go.
25:59Here we go.
26:05Oh, close.
26:10Suddenly the situation gets out of control.
26:19Luckily, we are professionals.
26:46Don't try this at home.
26:49What a beast.
26:54What are you doing here?
26:57I'm testing the oxygen lance.
27:00If you do anything here, you have to let me know in advance.
27:06Pete wanted to implement one of his innovative ideas.
27:11He should have told me he was doing that.
27:13He clearly crossed a line there.
27:15That's not how things work on the Steve Irwin.
27:16We need to know what people are doing, otherwise there will be chaos.
27:23We must ensure that no one damages the equipment on the ship or starts a fire.
27:29Our safety officer.
27:33Pete doesn't really care about safety.
27:37That's just how he is.
27:40And suddenly the ground is on fire.
27:45Should we try again?
27:46The Steve Irwin is approaching the last known position of the Bob Barker.
27:58For months now, the Sea Shepherds have finally been able to deploy two ships simultaneously against the whaling fleet.
28:03We'll be there soon.
28:15We have a target on our radar.
28:18How far?
28:2115 nautical miles.
28:23I see four ships, 14.5 nautical miles away.
28:26Course 2, 3, 1.
28:27Here, here and here.
28:30The whaling fleet and the Bob Barker are coming straight towards us.
28:37Pretty exciting to be back with the Nishinmaru.
28:42They come from the port side.
28:46It was a real relief, because with two of our ships they can't possibly catch whales.
28:52Step on the gas!
28:53Bob Barker, this is Peter.
29:08Hi, Peter.
29:09Hi, Pedro.
29:11Welcome to the party.
29:12We see you on the radar.
29:14Oh, great.
29:16It was incredible to know that the Steve Irwin was coming.
29:21The Nishinmaru wouldn't be able to get rid of us so easily.
29:26The Admiral is on his way.
29:30As soon as the Steve Irwin reaches the whaling fleet, the season will probably be over for the whalers.
29:40It's just a matter of time.
29:42Really exciting.
29:45Now we should be able to see them.
29:46Now we should be able to see them.
29:51I see her light.
29:58A great sight.
30:07We finally found the fleet.
30:09The thing is 200 meters long.
30:12A whole city is coming.
30:13In our minds we have been waiting for the ships to meet for a long time.
30:20Sea Shepard has never been this strong.
30:31There is a black ship on the horizon.
30:36The Steve Irwin is approaching.
30:37I see you.
30:40How exciting.
30:44There's Paul.
30:47So the Steve Irwin drives over it.
30:51You can see from the bow wave that she is quite fast.
30:53The cavalry is here.
30:57Almost as exciting as discovering the Nishinmaru.
30:59We never lost sight of them and did our job.
31:04Now the Nishinmaru is getting a good dose of Paul Watson.
31:13After almost a year of planning, Paul Watson can finally take the mother ship of the whaling fleet in a pincer movement with two ships.
31:20A first in the Sea Shepherd leader's 40-year career.
31:24I think it will make a big difference that we now have two ships here.
31:33They won't kill any more whales while we're here.
31:36Just like last year.
31:37Because they know we won't back down.
31:45Paul Watson firmly believes that whaling ends today.
31:51Manual control.
31:54For almost a year, the Bob Barker was rebuilt in Africa under strict secrecy.
32:02After many problems, she can now finally try, together with the Steve Irwin, to put a stop to the whalers' activities.
32:10Every day down here is precious.
32:13As long as we follow the Nishinmaru, they cannot hunt.
32:16That's why this is our mission.
32:19Should we honk at them a little?
32:20Clear.
32:21It's really hard to grasp the magnitude of the Nishinmaru without seeing it in its entirety.
32:34It's like looking up at the skyscrapers in New York.
32:37Skyscrapers above.
32:46Are they crossing our course?
32:49I think they're going crazy.
32:51How Steve plows through there.
32:56Attention, water cannon!
32:57The most important thing in this entire operation is to keep them moving.
33:26With two ships we can always keep up with them.
33:32They now make 14.2.
33:34Do we have enough distance?
33:38Yes.
33:42They know Paul is there.
33:44The Admiral.
33:45Every ship has a clear task.
33:54The Steve Irwin will be positioned directly behind the Nishinmaru.
33:57The Bob Barker stays a little behind and covers the Sea Shepherds' mother ship.
34:01The pursuers do not react.
34:09I feel safer with two ships.
34:12We may be hardcore, but we're not invincible.
34:18They waited weeks to stop whaling.
34:22Now they are doing it together with their sister ship.
34:25That is of course encouraging.
34:26Paul washes his ship.
34:34The deck gets a shower.
34:36We're about to get wet.
34:41Here come the big ones.
34:43Now the boys are awake.
34:44Six powerful water cannons are ready on the deck of the Nishinmaru.
34:52The ship is twice as long as the Steve Irwin and ten times as heavy.
34:57I see the Nishinmaru as a kind of mythical monster.
35:00She is extremely strong and difficult to defeat.
35:04But I still really wanted to get close and do something.
35:11Prepare the water cannons.
35:13Good.
35:17We need pressure for the water cannons.
35:23This year, Paul Watson donated an antique water cannon to Steve Irwin.
35:28He wants to finally stand up to the whalers.
35:38We have been waiting for this for a long time.
35:40Higher?
35:42Not too much.
35:43The monsters live.
35:45Who?
35:46The big water cannons.
35:48But no L-Reds.
35:50No.
35:52Paul wants the captain of the Nishinmaru to see this.
35:56We are always ready to stop them from killing whales.
36:02Do you see the guys at the bow?
36:03They should aim higher.
36:06Up with it, Brent.
36:08Are ours stronger or theirs?
36:15Her.
36:15Her.
36:17Let's say a draw.
36:21We caught them.
36:35We caught them.
36:39Yes, you have them.
36:40They all ran in.
36:44That felt great.
36:52We caught her deck and the bridge.
36:55A reunion with an old enemy.
36:57Same speed?
37:03Yes, we fall back and pursue them.
37:07This is the most effective tactic.
37:09We have to keep them moving because then they won't hunt whales.
37:18They haven't killed a whale for three days now.
37:20Every day is a victory.
37:26The whaling season lasts only 39 days.
37:29It could be Sea Shepherd's most successful year in Antarctica.
37:33When I was here for the first time five years ago, we only had one ship.
37:41It was a North Sea trawler that could only manage nine knots.
37:44We spotted the fleet and then had to watch it disappear over the horizon.
37:49Now Paul commands two ships that can block the Nishinmaru's slipway and keep up with the whalers.
37:56I don't think Paul wants to be anywhere else right now.
37:58The boys have something planned.
38:05They want us to run out of gas.
38:09We have enough diesel to drive around for a month.
38:13But they think we're running out of fuel.
38:17I think Operation Waltzing Matilda this year will be our most successful operation yet.
38:23A minke whale is worth about a quarter of a million dollars on the market.
38:28One fin whale a million.
38:30So if they kill 300 fewer whales, that's 70, 80 million.
38:34That's a lot of money they're missing.
38:37They should stay behind the Nishinmaru.
38:58Paul wants you to stay behind the Nishinmaru.
39:10We will now cross their course and then come back in the opposite direction.
39:16Understood. We're staying the course.
39:19We support the Steve Irwin.
39:23With two ships, one can always block the slipway.
39:25The two teams are ready.
39:36This year the Sea Shepherds had another surprise for the whalers.
39:40The so-called Sound Commander is an extremely powerful speaker system.
39:45This allows sounds to be transmitted over more than one kilometer.
39:49Cover your ears, here comes the Sound Commander.
39:55The Sea Shepherds are clearly having fun with their new toy.
40:13Some of the tactics may just annoy them, but we want to make life down here unpleasant for them so they won't come back.
40:31We want to make it as difficult as possible for them to kill whales.
40:38This bothers us more than it bothers them.
40:39I need more distance.
40:51We'll play the old scaredy-cat game with them.
40:54If we rush toward them, they'll probably turn away.
40:57I don't think they will stay on a frontal course.
40:59Paul Watson will initiate a 180-degree turn and then head directly toward the Nishinmaru.
41:09Then it will become clear which captain will lose his nerve first and dodge.
41:13Paul Watson is confident that his plan will work this time too.
41:23We once did this with a Spanish destroyer off Puerto Rico.
41:27They were scared too.
41:28It was the same with a Russian frigate.
41:32I'm not so sure this time.
41:33No one is allowed to stand at the bow.
41:41To all crew members.
41:44Stay away from the bow.
41:45We are heading towards the Nishinmaru.
41:52Rushing towards the Nishinmaru is scary.
41:55The water cannons, given the size of the ship, can really scare you.
41:59Autopilot off.
42:09It's about endurance.
42:13And if they think Paul is crazy, that only helps us.
42:16We are at war here in the Southern Ocean.
42:27Tell me if he turns away.
42:29You stay on course.
42:42It's always good if you're unpredictable for the person you're talking to.
42:48If they think we're tired of life, that's good.
42:51As long as it intimidates them.
42:52It's always good if you're unpredictable for the person you're talking to.
42:59Next time at Whale Wars.
43:13If you challenge a ship ten times bigger, you'll lose.
43:18We crash into them.
43:20They turn away.
43:26They hunt the delta.
43:31What do they have there?
43:35Movement.
43:35Both.
43:38Music.
43:39Both.
43:39Music.
43:40Both.
43:40Music.
43:40Georgia.
