system to try to bluff the whalers into stopping, but when it does not work, Jesse rams the Botany Bay with the Noah just as they fire a harpoon, the jolt causing the harpoon to miss Willy and knocking John into the water. John locks Max in a bunker and proceeds to go after willy himself, Max manages to escape using his dad's knife and jumps off the boat to buy enough time for Jesse and his team to catch up with them but he is retrieved, Jesse, Randolph and Drew use a flare gun and their boat's P.A. (Jesse is actually the one who did this). Max asks his dad if whales are like people and he replies that they are not and that their just fish, Max replies "you're wrong" which enrages john and exclaims that he has been wrong all his life, John's henchmen chimes in and shows him max's necklace that he found in the engine room and john suspects that is was Max that sabotaged the engines. despite the captains rules, Jesse, Randolph, and Drew steal the boat and go after the Whalers. john tells a story to max that whaling is god's work and that whale oil is used for Japanese lanterns.Īfter docking the next night, Jesse manages to sneak on board the Botany Bay to steal a sample of the spear guns that are used to shoot the whales and discovers that the whalers are heading back out to go after Willy and his pod, Jesse heads towards Randolph and drew, showing the captain the proof they need but the captain exclaims that he's not gonna damage another 2000 dollars of equipment. after realizing that the noise they pick up is coming from the ship and that the whales are drawn to it, they plan to broadcast it to themselves to lure the whales into a trap. Jesse spots willy viciously splashing at john and his men and suspects that they are whalers and alerts the captain about this but does not believe him unless he receives proof.
On their second hunt, they spot the whales and john teaches max how to use the harpoon by telling him to aim where the target's going to be, not where it is at, Max misfires on purpose and misses the whales, he plans to get rid of the second harpoon but is stopped by one of his henchmen and right when is about to kill willy, max spots a ship in the distance (the NOAH) and puts away the harpoon.
One of Johns henchmen picks up an unknown noise in the water (which is the harmonica that Jesse used to bring willy) and john gets suspicious of what the noise is. Max grabs it but falls on purpose causing John to miss his shot and the whale swims away unharmed. The Next Night, Max encounters willy and he gestures him to go away before his dad and the men kill him but John spots the whale and asks max to get him his spear gun. during the hunt, John and his men spot willy and his pod, killing one of them and shooting willy in the tail, the young killer whale charges towards the ship and causes it to starboard, throwing max overboard and the whalers son comes face to face with willy, max is retrieved by his father and the hunt ends. A pod of killer whales are being speared by whalers.(who is the probability of john.) The next Day, John invites his son on his whaling ship, the Botany Bay and introduces him to his henchmen.
