00:00Antarctica. The conflict between the environmental organization Sea Shepherd and the Japanese whalers is escalating.
00:14The conservation crew consists entirely of volunteers and is led by Captain Paul Watson.
00:22They fight against a group of Japanese whalers hunting in the Southern Ocean.
00:27The Sea Shepherds believe that Japanese whalers are violating the international whaling ban.
00:35They, in turn, claim that they are only collecting samples for scientific purposes.
00:40Both parties feel they are in the right and push themselves to the limit, even if it could cost them their lives.
00:49Last time at Whale Wars.
00:51If we board the Shunan Maru II, we could escape.
00:55That's the only way we have a chance. It would be an international incident.
01:04In the worst case, someone dies.
01:10Now everything depends on the anger of the three men.
01:13Three environmental activists have just boarded the Shunan Maru II.
01:37The whaling fleet's security ship had previously followed the Sea Shepherds every step of the way for two weeks.
01:45Therefore, the environmentalists could not reach their main target, the fleet's factory ship.
01:51Captain Watson hopes that this incident will give the Steve Irwin enough time to escape from its pursuer.
01:57We were totally psyched on the way back to the ship. Now we could finally get out of here.
02:10I was so excited that I just walked around aimlessly the whole time.
02:27When I looked through the round window, Beck was on the phone.
02:31The three are on the Shunan Maru II.
02:38The boys are actually on the Shunan Maru II. Everyone cheered.
02:53Everyone hugged each other because it was so exhausting to just sit here and wait for five or six hours.
02:59And then the time had finally come.
03:01Do you see them? Yes, on the starboard side. Distance? Right on the horizon.
03:22It was cool to get back to the ship. Paul was already waiting on the bridge knockout.
03:38Unfortunately nice.
03:39I hope he was proud that we pulled it off.
03:48Change has always worked well strategically in the past.
03:53We're often criticized for our tactics. But none of that interests me.
03:57I just want to save these whales.
04:07Good work. Perfect from start to finish.
04:10The world is a vampire.
04:19oops on- accept me.
04:20The world is an investor.
04:21The world, yes?
04:25Secret Destroyers
04:27Hold you up to the flames
04:32And what do I get
04:35For my pain
04:39In spite of the rage
04:43Are you still just ready to pay?
04:47In spite of the rage
04:49Are you still just ready to pay?
04:55A successful night
05:05Three Australian activists have just boarded the Shonan Maru II
05:12Captain Watson hopes that the Australian authorities will now come to their aid
05:16Then the security ship would have to dock in the port
05:19Or at least should not leave Australian territorial waters
05:23This time could be used by the Steve Irwin
05:25To search for the whaling fleet's factory ship in Antarctica
05:29I'd like to know what's going on over there
05:34No idea
05:37This will be a big deal because the government will also have to get involved
05:40Let's see what happens
05:41Normally these actions take place somewhere in the Southern Ocean where nobody notices
05:50But now it's happening right off the coast of Australia
05:54If the government does nothing, it would be unbelievable
05:57Let's see what they do
06:01The three environmental activists Simon Peterfee, Glenn Pendlebury and Jeffrey Tuxworth risked their lives to give the Sea Shepherds a head start
06:13My two six and nine-year-old sons give me strength
06:17I want to be able to tell them I tried everything
06:23Currently, no one knows what awaits the activists
06:28The three knew that there was a chance that they would get on another ship and that the schooners of the Steve Irwin would continue to follow
06:37Or they end up in jail
06:38But they said we don't care
06:42Paul explained all possible scenarios to them, but they still wanted to go through with it
06:48In 2010, Pete Bethune modified the Shonan Maru 2
06:54He will be tried in Japan in six weeks
06:59Bethune faced 15 years in prison
07:04But in the end he was released after four months
07:07The boys really have balls
07:11The eco-freaks can also do things differently
07:16The three men are extremely brave and a good example of the kind of people we need to save this planet
07:25They will surely be celebrated as heroes in Australia
07:28Probably the press
07:35Three Australians changed the schooner Maru 2 at 4.30 am today
07:42The news spreads like wildfire
07:45It is illegal to bring them into a foreign country
07:49The government cannot tolerate this
07:51Captain Watson once again relies on media pressure on the government
07:56The Prime Minister is being urged to take action on the matter
08:01There is no trace of the men who modified the whaling ship
08:05What happens to them?
08:10This depends on the Australian government
08:13Let us hope that it protects its citizens
08:16Wait, the Delta brought three activists onto the schooner Maru 2?
08:37This is awesome
08:43Congratulations from us too
08:45A big day for Sea Shepherd
08:57We know we can stop them
08:59But sometimes you need a message like this to motivate yourself again
09:03Now they have to bring them ashore and the Steve can escape
09:11A brilliant move
09:12The fact that both ships have a pursuer makes things really difficult for us
09:20I hope this was a turning point and things will be better from now on
09:25Distance?
09:29Three kilometers
09:30In addition to the Steve Irwin, the Bob Barker is also closely guarded
09:36The harpoon ship Yushinmaru 3 has not left her side for weeks
09:42What do you think?
09:44We could head north to Macquarie Island
09:49Maybe we'll get rid of them this way
09:50Captain Cornelisson's plan is inspired by the events off the coast of Australia
09:57He goes to Macquarie Island, where there is also a whaling exclusion zone
10:04Even though it is only 12 nautical miles here, he hopes to be able to shake off the unwelcome pursuer
10:10Driving into that would certainly not go down well in Australia, as they already have three Australians on board
10:18It is very delicate right now and so they would get more and more problems
10:24If everything goes according to plan, both Sea Shepherd ships will no longer have an escort in a few days and can finally start searching for the Nishinmaru again.
10:34Turn ship and head north
10:37Off to Macquarie Island
10:40Where are they?
10:49They have slowed down
10:52Now they have stopped completely
10:58Apparently the environmentalists’ plan is working
11:03Captain Watson doesn't want to waste any more time
11:06Start the second engine, now we have to move quickly
11:11All right, let's see if they follow us
11:14If not, we're gone
11:17Watson heads for the whaling grounds in Antarctica
11:23Environmentalists hope that the safety ship will remain in Australian waters
11:28You have stopped
11:34Now they are overwhelmed
11:37They can't get rid of the three boys and they can't continue with them on board
11:41You have to explain this to your boss
11:46I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the captain of the Shonan Maru II right now
11:51He has to say Tokyo
11:53Unfortunately, during the night three guys changed our ship
11:56This is, after all, a Japanese government ship
12:00This is really embarrassing for a security ship
12:07What’s more, they made such big promises before the season
12:10Great security ship
12:14At the moment I don't want to be in his place
12:20Hopefully they'll be stuck for a long time
12:26The Federal Prosecutor General's article states that the release of the men is the highest priority
12:36Officials are already in close contact with the Japanese government
12:44To make our position clear
12:46We will do everything to bring the three Australian citizens back home
12:50We know that Australia has promised
12:57Not to tolerate whaling ships in its waters
12:59And now changing the Shonan Maru II may become a real problem
13:03Because the government must then stand by its promise
13:07That she gave to the citizens
13:08Follow us?
13:15I don't know
13:16We just have to wait
13:17Where are they now?
13:23They turn
13:24Seriously?
13:29You change course
13:30You will be faster
13:33And drive south
13:35A brief triumph for environmentalists
13:40Apparently the Shonan Maru II is not giving up yet
13:44Are they coming closer?
13:47Yes, at six knots
13:50This is really frustrating
13:57We are so close to Australia
14:00And the authorities simply do nothing
14:02Distance?
14:09Six nautical miles
14:10The action was intended to give Steve Irwin time
14:15But apparently the Shonan Maru has the order
14:18Not to let us escape under any circumstances
14:20Let's see what happens
14:22The government is clearly playing against us this year
14:27The Shonan Maru II continues to pursue the Steve Irwin
14:35It is now all the more important
14:37That at least the Bob Barker can shake off her pursuer
14:40Otherwise, the chances of the Sea Shepherds
14:43To find the factory ship of the whaling fleet
14:45Extremely low
14:46I see Macquarie Island for the first time
14:58Much higher than I expected
15:00The Bob Barker approaches the island
15:05Which has been a World Heritage Site since 1997
15:08And Tasmania includes
15:10Because Australia as a state
15:13Spoke out against whaling
15:15Is there a 12-nautical-mile exclusion zone here?
15:17For whaling ships
15:18The Sea Shepherds must now wait
15:21Whether the Japanese fleet adheres to this law
15:23If they disregard the restricted area
15:27Would that be a huge scandal
15:28And if they stay behind
15:29Are we rid of them
15:30Captain Cornelison will sail between the islands
15:36And hopes to disappear from the radar of the harpoon ship
15:40Then the Bob Barker could finally devote herself to the factory ship again
15:44You are still 600 meters away
15:51What are they doing?
15:53Eleven knots?
15:54Now eight
15:56They slow down
15:59Six and a half knots
16:02Directly on the border
16:06You have stopped
16:13This time the whaling ship complies with the applicable laws
16:24Now the Bob Barker can pull away
16:27Worked
16:32You will not drive in
16:41They must be really angry
16:43They are currently asking in Tokyo what they should do
16:49I think we deserve this
17:01Absolutely
17:04The Yushinmaru 3 has stopped
17:08But the Sea Shepherds have not won yet
17:11Everything now depends on
17:14Whether the Bob Barker can pull away quickly enough
17:17A beautiful moment
17:23The guys have enough trouble with the three activists on board
17:28And will not risk entering Australian waters
17:30They certainly don’t need another diplomatic nightmare
17:34And now?
17:41Let's try to escape via the north side
17:43Captain Cornelison wants to pass the islands to the west
17:49He hopes that the harpon ship stays behind
17:53And Bob Barker can finally set off for Antarctica without being pursued
17:57Full speed ahead
18:0214.5 nautical miles between us and the Yushinmaru 3
18:1117.7
18:17We set ourselves apart
18:23Soon we will no longer be on their radar
18:2620 nautical miles would be even better
18:29But it looks good
18:31Now there are more than 20
18:44We have officially shaken them off
18:46Time to find the Nishin
18:55The clocks are set to zero
18:58The Bob Barker can now return to its original task in the Southern Ocean
19:03We have shaken off the Yushinmaru 3 and are now looking for the Nishinmaru
19:09The boys are probably angry
19:11Surely the Yushin, they want to wish us a good trip
19:19Shall we just move on now?
19:341300 kilometers northwest, the Steve Irwin has already left Australian waters
19:39Just like the Shonanmaru 2 with the three activists on board
19:44Okay, I'll let Paul know, thanks
19:53The Australian Prime Minister has announced that the Ocean Protector will sail to the Shonanmaru 2 to pick up the three men
20:09The Australian Customs and Border Protection vessel is already on its way to the whaling fleet's security vessel
20:24This is bad news for the Sea Shepherds because this action will hardly stop the whalers
20:31Disgusting
20:34It would have been nice if the Shonan had stayed in Australian waters
20:43Now we have to keep trying to shake off our pursuer somehow
20:47This way we will never get to Nischin
20:54Let's get the Delta ready
20:57Good luck
20:58The Sea Shepherds are not giving up yet
21:03But they have to think of a new strategy to outrun the security ship
21:08If we can hold them off for an hour, the Steve Irwin will no longer be on the radar of the Shonan
21:19Captain Watson gives the green light for the use of the small boats
21:25Like in the Middle Ages
21:32The engineers in the foundry hatch all sorts of crazy ideas
21:36Hopefully we can get these things into their propeller
21:41We must get rid of the Shonan Maru now
21:46This is probably clear to everyone
21:47We try out some new propfowlers
21:57The chains with metal pieces are supposed to paralyze the boys
22:00We are trying by all means to get rid of the Shonan Maru so that we can finally search for the Nischin Maru
22:05Ken Gray only joined the crew in Fremantle
22:21He is about to make his maiden flight with the Sea Shepherds helicopter
22:26I have been flying for almost 20 years
22:29It is a real honor to be part of this mission
22:33The boat can go into the water
22:39The helicopter has taken off
22:46The whaling fleet has caught us cold, but we are far from giving up
22:53Now we show them what we can do
22:56I have visual contact with a ship
22:58I have visual contact with a ship
23:14I have visual contact with a ship
23:23About a dozen people on board
23:27There's quite a lot going on
23:30And just for your information, the guys might be armed
23:35Delta and Humber plan to use the new Prop Fowler for the first time
23:48The plan is to install the devices on both sides of the security ship
23:53The 50 kg steel weights at the end of the lines ideally sink under the hull of the Shonan Maru 2
23:59And disable their propeller
24:02On the Shonan Maru I always drive as close to the ship as possible
24:14Because I know that this really annoys the crew
24:17Hopefully this will unsettle her a bit
24:24Then the number is not so easy to predict
24:32The crews are in the propeller
24:34Hey!
24:35Hey!
24:36Hello!
24:37Want more staff?
24:39Ready, Tommy?
24:41Yes!
24:42In with it!
24:55The Delta crew has installed the device
25:03The Shonan tries to keep the thing away from the screw
25:06And the Humber is on the port side
25:08The devices are attached to both sides
25:27Mission accomplished
25:29Now the things are hanging on
25:34Are they falling behind?
25:361.2 kilometers
25:38The crew tries to get rid of the thing on the starboard side
25:50They cut it off
25:52Ours is gone
25:57We have secured both parts
26:02But with the bolt cutters they were gone again a few minutes later
26:05That sucks
26:06You're breaking the law! As long as you kill whales, we'll stay here!
26:11Stop shouting, it only provokes her!
26:18What was that?
26:20What was that, Jamie?
26:23No idea, but it was quite a bang
26:25They throw stun grenades
26:28Flash grenades are also used by the police during riots
26:32The loud bang and the bright light can cause the enemy to lose their orientation for a short time
26:38Pretty loud!
26:41I have tinnitus!
26:43These things are extremely loud
26:46And if they fly into the boat, they could disable the driver or someone could go overboard
26:51This is really dangerous
27:05There's another ship!
27:07It could be another ship of the whaling fleet
27:14Looks like the customs ship
27:18If they take the men, the Skåne must slow down
27:22And we can leave
27:24This could be our chance if the action lasts long enough
27:30If the action lasts long enough
27:40We see two ships
27:42Then we'll fly there right away
27:45We have visual contact, it is about ten kilometers away
28:00On the way to the customs ship, helicopter pilot Ken Gray makes a surprising discovery
28:16This is the Yushin Maru 2
28:31A nightmare
28:38The security ship receives reinforcements
28:40The entire Sea Shepherds campaign threatens to become a disaster
28:46They clap
28:48The harpoon ship will continue to pursue the Steve Irwin while the three activists leave the security vessel
28:56The helicopter should come back and by tomorrow we will think of a new plan
29:07Things are not looking good for Sea Shepard
29:10The entire operation threatens to fail
29:13Shitty day
29:17The Yushin is on its way to you
29:22I see you
29:30Now the Yushin is following us while the Shonan returns to Australia
29:40This is unbelievable
29:41They are much stronger this year
29:54But if we can't think of anything, the whales have lost
29:59And now?
30:03What a crap!
30:04The two boats return to the Steve Irwin
30:11The Shonan Maru sets off for Australia
30:14But with the Yushin Maru 2, the Sea Shepherds immediately have a new companion
30:19Two months have already passed
30:21and environmentalists are far from stopping whaling in the Southern Ocean
30:25This year they are really smart
30:29You have a good plan and we are slowly running out of time
30:33This season the Japanese fleet has invested a lot of money to keep us in check
30:42We have just reached a real low point
30:44We have to surprise them somehow
30:50They must understand that we are here to protect the whales
30:54The season is over without new tactics
31:00The boys talked about using the boats unexpectedly, at sunrise
31:12That would be around half past three
31:16Then we could install the propeller shaft unnoticed
31:21And when they drive off, the things are in before they even realize what's going on
31:30We have just discussed our tactics to get rid of the Yushin
31:36The plan is to install the propeller under cover of darkness
31:39Then we can finally leave, find the Nishin and put an end to whaling
31:47The three activists who boarded the Shonan Maru II return to Australia
32:05After ten days on the whaling ship they appear before the assembled press
32:13What do you do now?
32:19First get some cigarettes
32:21How does it feel to be back here?
32:24We are happy to be back home and that we have made our contribution to the campaign
32:32How was it on board?
32:35Pretty tight
32:37We were in two by two meter cabins and the food was unusual
32:41But otherwise we were treated well by the Japanese crew
32:45In your opinion, was the mission successful?
32:49Absolutely! Everyone is now talking about whaling in South Pole
32:54Peter Fee is barely free again when he is arrested by the Australian police and taken to prison
33:02As far as I understand, Simon was taken to Orbany prison because of an older arrest warrant
33:12It is about punishments for previous actions
33:19I am now inquiring how much must be paid so that he can be released as quickly as possible
33:27Even today?
33:33Only if they accept credit cards
33:39Simon still has a few outstanding fines, but they will now be paid
33:47One third from Sea Shepherd, one third from Forest Rescue
33:52And a friend of Simon takes over the last third
33:58With a bit of luck he'll be out in an hour
34:03A few hours later, Simon Peter Fee is actually a free man again
34:12Nice to be free again
34:19Today is the day everyone has been waiting for
34:31We have been at sea for a long time now and it is frustrating that we still have a pursuer
34:40That's why we want to send the boats out tonight and use the darkness to get some propfowlers under the ship
34:48And before the crew on deck even understands what is happening
34:59We will use everything we have at our disposal and really push ourselves to the limits
35:04Then maybe we can stop the Yushin tomorrow
35:06Then let’s go!
35:09Then let’s go!
35:13We use everything we have in this mission
35:34It is perhaps crucial for the entire campaign that we get rid of the Yushin now
35:41It just has to work
35:46The Sea Shepherds hope to catch the whalers off guard and start the operation at daybreak
35:57The helicopter is in the air
36:00Do you see them? They know what's going on!
36:21We wanted to go to Yushin unnoticed
36:24And when we arrived, they suddenly turned the headlights up full
36:34We saw people at the bow
36:38And the water cannons were already running
36:42It was clear that they had already prepared everything
36:44Josh Georgie and Chad Hellstedt will take turns casting propfowlers in front of the Yushinmaru 2
36:58They hope that one of the ropes will paralyze the ship's propeller
37:01The Delta has thrown out the Propfowler, the Samba is on the other side
37:18On the other hand
37:23Ready?
37:25Let's go!
37:26Let's go!
37:28Let's go!
37:33Let's go!
37:35Let's go!
37:36Let's go!
37:37Let's go!
37:38Let's go!
37:39Let's go!
37:40Let's go!
37:41Let's go!
37:42Let's go!
37:43Let's go!
37:44What are they doing?
37:47The Delta has cast two lines, the Hamba one
37:52But they got stuck somewhere on the ship
37:54The whalers have apparently done their homework
38:06They use long lines with grappling hooks to fish the propfowlers out of the water before they can disable the ship's propeller
38:13I talked to Brian and JT and we agreed that we need to cut the lines that catch our propfowlers
38:26Only in this way can the next propfowler really land in the ship’s propeller
38:29It might actually work and end up in the Propfowler
38:41Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
38:45Josh Georgie and his boat crew managed to cut two of the lines
39:04Now Chad Halstead has to do the same on the other side
39:16The delta approaches on the starboard side
39:28What is he doing?
39:41He's swinging something
39:47The delta is just in front of the bow to cut the line
39:53And I see a guy with a grappling hack
39:55I just thought they wanted to hurt us
40:10Halstead's boat is attacked
40:12Cameraman Russell Burke is hit by a grappling hook
40:15I heard a crash and suddenly this hook rushed across the seats and hit Russell
40:31He was holding his arm and was obviously in pain
40:35Nobody knew how badly he was injured
40:39They caught us with the hook
40:41Only dangerous, but not effective
40:43Everyone was shocked that they would go so far to defend their ship
40:58Josh Georgie decides to cut the last line despite the danger for the crew
41:07The election catchers hate it when we get so close
41:09The election catchers hate it when we get so close
41:22One of them attacked the crew with a pole through the hawse
41:39You often forget how vulnerable you are
41:48Such an attack should not be taken lightly
41:51Such an attack should not be taken lightly
42:13Guillaume was hit in the shoulder by a grappling hook
42:17Guillaume was clearly in pain, but he was determined to complete the mission
42:30So we didn't go back
42:33This is war
42:41As soon as people get hurt, it's a battle
42:50This is our enemy
42:54And now there is war
42:59Next time at Whale Wars
43:01I don't see anything
43:02He has to go to the hospital
43:05We must defend ourselves
43:07We won't give up without a fight
43:20The Yushin is out of action
