1. The political situation in the worldCopy !req
2. has now reached a stage
where the very foundations of civilizationCopy !req
3. are seriously threatened.Copy !req
4. - War is a contagion.Copy !req
5. The peace of the world,Copy !req
6. the welfare and security of every nation,Copy !req
7. including our own,
is being threatened by that very thing.Copy !req
8. Let no one imagine
that America will escape.Copy !req
9. Yes, we are determined to keep out of war.Copy !req
10. Yet we cannot insure ourselvesCopy !req
11. against the disastrous effects of war,Copy !req
12. and the dangers of involvement.Copy !req
13. This is bloody ridiculous.Copy !req
14. Wasn't your empire built
on ridiculous traditions?Copy !req
15. Don't defend them, Layton.Copy !req
16. You might speak their language,Copy !req
17. but they still think you're a barbarian.Copy !req
18. Be honest.Copy !req
19. You won't miss this place
when you're gone?Copy !req
20. Oh, please.
The next time I see the little buggers,Copy !req
21. I hope it's through the sights
of a 14-inch gun.Copy !req
22. Gentlemen.
On behalf of the British Empire,Copy !req
23. I wish to thank Admiral Yamamoto
for this invitation.Copy !req
24. May our nations work together
to maintain peace on the seas.Copy !req
25. Which is why I know
that you must have an opinion.Copy !req
26. I was once our naval attaché
in Washington.Copy !req
27. After you went to Harvard.Copy !req
28. Like you, I thought there was valueCopy !req
29. in studying a potential adversary.Copy !req
30. There's a rumor
that you told the prime ministerCopy !req
31. that Japan can't win a war
with the United States.Copy !req
32. I said we couldn't win a long war.Copy !req
33. There's another rumor
that your life is in danger.Copy !req
34. That the nationalists
think you're too moderateCopy !req
35. and have targeted you for assassination.Copy !req
36. Japan is at a crossroads.Copy !req
37. We are emboldened by our invasion of ChinaCopy !req
38. and eager to become a world power.Copy !req
39. Yet we get 80% of our oil
from your country.Copy !req
40. If that supply is threatened...Copy !req
41. it will force us into drastic measures.Copy !req
42. You want me to pass this information
along to Washington?Copy !req
43. Don't push us into a corner.Copy !req
44. You must give those of us
who are more reasonableCopy !req
45. a chance to carry the day.Copy !req
46. Nobody wants a war.Copy !req
47. Sayonara.Copy !req
48. Sayonara.Copy !req
49. Come on. Step it up, ladies!Copy !req
50. Clear the flight deck. Let's go.Copy !req
51. Prepare to brace!Copy !req
52. Why aren't you using the flaps, sir?Copy !req
53. Because someday we might have to land
with our flaps shot away.Copy !req
54. So we might as well practice now.Copy !req
55. This isn't how Ensign Hunt used to fly.Copy !req
56. Which is why Ensign Hunt
is now counting seagulls in San Diego,Copy !req
57. and you're here with me.Copy !req
58. Looks like we got hit
in our fuel tank too.Copy !req
59. Please don't, sir.Copy !req
60. This might save your life one day, Murray.Copy !req
61. Engine's about to die.Copy !req
62. Stand by to recover aircraft.Copy !req
63. What the hell is Best doing?
He's out of the groove.Copy !req
64. It looks like his engine cut out.Copy !req
65. Is it a stunt or is he in trouble?Copy !req
66. I don't know.Copy !req
67. But he's going to hit
the first wire like always.Copy !req
68. Not with that angle.Copy !req
69. Why are we sideways?Copy !req
70. To shave speed
so we don't put a hole in the deck.Copy !req
71. Better not crash that damn plane.Copy !req
72. Hey, hang in there, kid.
We're almost home.Copy !req
73. Brace!Copy !req
74. Are you trying to get court-martialed?Copy !req
75. I had electrical issue.Copy !req
76. Could have happened to anyone.Copy !req
77. Hey! Good job.Copy !req
78. It's not me you have to convince.Copy !req
79. McClusky's about ready to have your ass.Copy !req
80. Then I'll take it upstairs to the old man.
He knows what's coming.Copy !req
81. That's why we've been flying
double scouting missions this whole trip.Copy !req
82. Going somewhere?Copy !req
83. Yeah. They're sending the whole squadron
into Pearl this morning.Copy !req
84. And I'll be drinking a beer on the beach
with Roy by noon.Copy !req
85. And I'm not coming?Copy !req
86. No. McClusky's holding back Scouting Six.Copy !req
87. It's probably 'cause
you're such an asshole.Copy !req
88. Yeah. You're lovin' this, right?Copy !req
89. Morning, sir. Aircraft is spotted.Copy !req
90. Hey, take it easy on Miller.
He's having a tough morning.Copy !req
91. It's my last day of sea duty, sir,Copy !req
92. and I'm the only one from my radio class
who hasn't crashed.Copy !req
93. Don't worry, Miller.Copy !req
94. I'm sure even Mr. Dickinson can fly youCopy !req
95. from here to Pearl
without getting you wet.Copy !req
96. Hey. Me and Roy,Copy !req
97. we'll pour a little beer
out on the beach for ya.Copy !req
98. Well, you boys
are taking your sweet time.Copy !req
99. Chaplain's gonna be here any minute.Copy !req
100. It's another hot one, sir.Copy !req
101. - Are you complaining, Sully?
- No, sir.Copy !req
102. I just can't help wondering
why I have to set up chairs for church,Copy !req
103. even though I don't believe in God.Copy !req
104. Well, that's because
your only religion is chasing tail.Copy !req
105. And the Navy ain't gonna pay you for that.Copy !req
106. Incoming!Copy !req
107. Barbara!Copy !req
108. Barbara!Copy !req
109. Barbara, come here!Copy !req
110. Come on, sweetheart.Copy !req
111. Get the wounded below deck!
Everyone else, battle stations!Copy !req
112. - Get down!Copy !req
113. Comin' to church?Copy !req
114. I have to go to the office.Copy !req
115. It's Sunday.Copy !req
116. You work too hard.Copy !req
117. Layton residence.Copy !req
118. I'll meet you outside.Copy !req
119. - Edwin, what's happening?
- The Japanese are attacking us.Copy !req
120. - Did you reach the office?
- No. The switchboard was jammed.Copy !req
121. - Go.Copy !req
122. - Sully, get up! Come on!Copy !req
123. We need to get to the gun directors.Copy !req
124. They're firing way too low.Copy !req
125. Take cover! Get down!Copy !req
126. Drive!Copy !req
127. - Hey. Are you okay?Copy !req
128. We have to get off the ship.
Come on.Copy !req
129. Hurry up, kid.Copy !req
130. We gotta jump.Copy !req
131. You go in that water, you're dead.Copy !req
132. Sully! You first, Sully.Copy !req
133. I can't! My hands...Copy !req
134. You wanna live?Copy !req
135. You get to that goddamn ship, you hear me?Copy !req
136. What is it, sir?Copy !req
137. Looks like Coastal Artillery
went stark mad.Copy !req
138. I bet you
somebody's gonna catch hell for it.Copy !req
139. Incoming!Copy !req
140. Miller, break radio silence!
Get that gun working!Copy !req
141. Pearl is under attack. This is no shit.Copy !req
142. Miller, you okay?Copy !req
143. Miller, bail out!Copy !req
144. Miller! Miller!Copy !req
145. Miller!Copy !req
146. - What the hell is going on?
- Pearl is shooting at our guys, sir.Copy !req
147. Then maybe it isn't Pearl.
Look, call Dickinson.Copy !req
148. We had a transmission that
he was under attack, and then nothing.Copy !req
149. Sir.Copy !req
150. Get this to the Admiral.Copy !req
151. Keep going, Sully!Copy !req
152. Run! Hurry up!Copy !req
153. Get down!Copy !req
154. Oh, come on.Copy !req
155. There's the man who tried to warn us.Copy !req
156. If it's any satisfaction to you, Layton,
you were right.Copy !req
157. Sir, it's no satisfaction
to me whatsoever.Copy !req
158. You bastard.Copy !req
159. - Sir, where are they going?
- Back to their carriers.Copy !req
160. Drive out to the radio direction finder
and report back to me.Copy !req
161. Yes, sir.Copy !req
162. Admiral Halsey on deck.Copy !req
163. Pearl found something?Copy !req
164. Intelligence managed to get
a line of bearing on the attacking fleet.Copy !req
165. But it's a bilateral reading.Copy !req
166. The Japanese are either at 343 degreesCopy !req
167. or 163 degrees.Copy !req
168. Oh, for Christ's sake.Copy !req
169. Pearl is under attack
and we don't even knowCopy !req
170. if the bastards are north or south?Copy !req
171. Army bombers also reported
a possible ship sighting here.Copy !req
172. We're gonna place our bet...Copy !req
173. right there.Copy !req
174. We have a possible location
on the Jap fleet.Copy !req
175. Fly a grid on bearing 185.Copy !req
176. If you make contact, Best and his men
will put down a smoke screen,Copy !req
177. and then the torpedo bombers
will make their runs.Copy !req
178. Lindsey has command.Copy !req
179. Uh, to hell with smoke.Copy !req
180. Let me go after those carriers
with a real bomb.Copy !req
181. Torpedoes sink ships, not bombs,
and my men need a screen.Copy !req
182. Even if you get close enough,
your torpedoes don't work.Copy !req
183. - That's a rumor.
- Yeah, it's a rumor,Copy !req
184. 'cause the damn things
have never been tested.Copy !req
185. Look, the Japs are out there
killing our friends.Copy !req
186. Let me put a 500-pound bomb
right down their goddamn smokestack.Copy !req
187. We're not changing tactics
just because you want revenge.Copy !req
188. Going after the Japs, sir?Copy !req
189. Yeah, we're gonna smoke 'em to death.Copy !req
190. Japanese are attacking
on multiple fronts.Copy !req
191. We captured a radio log
from a downed Japanese plane.Copy !req
192. They hit us with all six
of their fleet carriers.Copy !req
193. At least they didn't destroy
our oil tanks.Copy !req
194. The whole fleet would've had to withdraw
to the West Coast.Copy !req
195. You are the best intelligence officer
I've ever known, Layton.Copy !req
196. They'll probably burn you for this too.Copy !req
197. But if they don't,Copy !req
198. swear to meCopy !req
199. you'll make the next man in this chair
listen to you.Copy !req
200. See anything, sir?Copy !req
201. Not even a goddamn whale.Copy !req
202. Six Baker 10, this is Six Torpedo One.Copy !req
203. Lead us back to Enterprise.Copy !req
204. Six Torpedo One,
your pilots aren't trainedCopy !req
205. for a night carrier landing
with live ordnance.Copy !req
206. Go land at Pearl.Copy !req
207. We can't clear the mountains.
Take us back to Enterprise, Lieutenant.Copy !req
208. That's an order.Copy !req
209. Six Torpedo One, I'm dropping my
smoke tanks and returning to Enterprise.Copy !req
210. Follow me if you want.Copy !req
211. We got word from Pearl.Copy !req
212. The Jap fleet was north, not south.Copy !req
213. Goddamn it!Copy !req
214. Good job, man!Copy !req
215. Hey, Lindsey,
this is what I was afraid of.Copy !req
216. One of your men almost blows up
the damn carrier,Copy !req
217. because you were too afraid
to get shot down flying into Pearl.Copy !req
218. Do I have to remind you that I am
your superior officer, Lieutenant?Copy !req
219. - You gonna hide behind your rank?
- Save it for the Japs.Copy !req
220. We're at war now, McClusky.
When that guy screws up, people die!Copy !req
221. Listen to me. You wanna keep flying?Copy !req
222. I suggest you knock off
the cowboy bullshit.Copy !req
223. Come on, Murray.Copy !req
224. Jesus.Copy !req
225. What are they doing?Copy !req
226. When she went over, everyone below deck
was probably trapped inside.Copy !req
227. Did you know
anyone aboard Arizona?Copy !req
228. Yeah.Copy !req
229. My roommate from the academy.Copy !req
230. Lieutenant Roy Pearce.Copy !req
231. I heard you jumped out
of a perfectly good plane.Copy !req
232. Well, it was on fire.
And the controls were dead.Copy !req
233. Where's Miller?Copy !req
234. Oh, hell.Copy !req
235. Yeah.Copy !req
236. Hey, Ann's by the gate.Copy !req
237. Are you okay?Copy !req
238. Yeah, I'm all right.Copy !req
239. - Hi.
- Hey.Copy !req
240. - Come home tonight.
- I wish.Copy !req
241. We sail as soon as we're refueled.Copy !req
242. Look, I want you and Barb to go back
to your parents' place in Jersey.Copy !req
243. - No.
- It's not safe here.Copy !req
244. Everyone is saying
this is gonna be a long war.Copy !req
245. - What if...
- You're not shipping us off to Jersey.Copy !req
246. And that's final.Copy !req
247. Did you talk to Sarah?Copy !req
248. Was Roy aboard the Arizona?Copy !req
249. Yes.Copy !req
250. We're checking all the hospitals,
but nothing yet.Copy !req
251. Tell her I'll find him.Copy !req
252. Thank you.Copy !req
253. Hey.Copy !req
254. I heard you were with Lieutenant Pearce
during the attack.Copy !req
255. Sully...Copy !req
256. what happened to him?Copy !req
257. I don't know.Copy !req
258. I don't know.Copy !req
259. We're doing our best, but they've been
bringing body parts in pillowcases.Copy !req
260. There's too many.Copy !req
261. He was a blond guy.Copy !req
262. Tall. Probably wearing
an officer's uniform.Copy !req
263. Officers are down here.Copy !req
264. Is there anything else you can give me?Copy !req
265. Identifying features? Tattoos?Copy !req
266. Well, he would've been wearing
our class ring from Annapolis.Copy !req
267. We, uh...Copy !req
268. took this off the body when he came in.Copy !req
269. I'm sorry.Copy !req
270. I'll give you a moment.Copy !req
271. December 7, 1941...Copy !req
272. a date which will live in infamy.Copy !req
273. The United States of America
was suddenly and deliberately attackedCopy !req
274. by naval and air forces
of the Empire of Japan.Copy !req
275. The United States was at peace
with that nation...Copy !req
276. and, at the solicitation...Copy !req
277. Was still in conversation
with its government and its...Copy !req
278. Congratulations, sir.Copy !req
279. You're the right man to run the Navy.Copy !req
280. When they get in trouble,
they send for the sons of bitches.Copy !req
281. The situation in the PacificCopy !req
282. is far worse than has been reported.Copy !req
283. We have three carriers. The Japs have ten.Copy !req
284. We have zero functional battleships,
they have nine.Copy !req
285. They have more cruisers,
more bombers, more fighters, and...Copy !req
286. much of their equipment is more modern.Copy !req
287. We'll just have to count on the men
that we have out there to...Copy !req
288. hold the line.Copy !req
289. I don't envy the new commander.Copy !req
290. It's me, isn't it?Copy !req
291. The President asked for you himself.Copy !req
292. He said that you should get the hell out
to Pearl and stay there...Copy !req
293. until our ships sail into Tokyo Bay.Copy !req
294. Welcome to the most
difficult job in the world.Copy !req
295. A-ten-hut!Copy !req
296. Ready.Copy !req
297. Aim.Copy !req
298. Fire.Copy !req
299. Aim.Copy !req
300. - Fire.Copy !req
301. I'll be right back.Copy !req
302. - Fire.Copy !req
303. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
304. Roy wanted to be a pilot like you.Copy !req
305. But I talked him out of it.Copy !req
306. I said it was too dangerous.Copy !req
307. - I'll see you at the next funeral.
- You don't have to go.Copy !req
308. Yes, I do.Copy !req
309. We're family.Copy !req
310. - Hey, hey, hey!Copy !req
311. I just wanna say, Roy Pearce
was one of the finest bastardsCopy !req
312. that I've ever met.Copy !req
313. And I could talk about the man
for an hour.Copy !req
314. But I think that's a job I'll leave up
to one of you boysCopy !req
315. that went to the academy with him.Copy !req
316. What do you say?Copy !req
317. Yeah, well, I can't let some
torpedo jockey speak for Roy.Copy !req
318. Especially one not good enough
to fly from Enterprise.Copy !req
319. - Oh!
- Okay.Copy !req
320. Summer after plebe year,Copy !req
321. me, Roy and Dickie went up to visit
Roy's uncle up in the Great Lakes.Copy !req
322. It was the peak of Prohibition,
so one night we decide to sail to CanadaCopy !req
323. to buy a keg of beer.Copy !req
324. On our way back,
right before the sun comes up,Copy !req
325. the wind dies.Copy !req
326. So, there we are,
just floating in the middle of the lake,Copy !req
327. waiting for the Border Patrol to show up.Copy !req
328. I said we should just ditch the booze,
but Roy...Copy !req
329. Hey, Dickie. What did Roy say?Copy !req
330. "Hell, no. We'll drink it all."Copy !req
331. Roy was my best man.Copy !req
332. He was the godfather to my daughter.Copy !req
333. I thought someday...Copy !req
334. we'd be on a porch, drinking beers,Copy !req
335. telling lies about what we did
in the big war.Copy !req
336. - To Roy.
- To Roy.Copy !req
337. To Roy.Copy !req
338. Man, oh, man.
Why'd you make me drink so much?Copy !req
339. - You might have to carry me home, darling.Copy !req
340. Oh, shit. Shore Patrol.Copy !req
341. No, that's the Admiral's flag.Copy !req
342. Hey, I bet it's the new commander.Copy !req
343. - Who do you think it is?
- That looks like Nimitz.Copy !req
344. I hear he's true-blue.Copy !req
345. Hey, Nimitz!Copy !req
346. When are you going to let us
at those Japs?Copy !req
347. I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
348. Do you want me to get their names?Copy !req
349. No.Copy !req
350. - I think he might have heard you.Copy !req
351. I'm glad at least some of the boys
still want to fight.Copy !req
352. Welcome to Pearl, sir.Copy !req
353. I'm Lieutenant Commander Layton.Copy !req
354. I know who you are.Copy !req
355. Well, then you'll understand my request.Copy !req
356. I wish to be reassigned to a destroyer.Copy !req
357. Didn't you try to warn my predecessor
about the impending attack?Copy !req
358. Well, not exactly.Copy !req
359. I said that we had lost track
of the enemy carriersCopy !req
360. and needed to be prepared.Copy !req
361. I should've pushed harder.Copy !req
362. A lesson, I assume,Copy !req
363. you have taken to heart.Copy !req
364. Sir, I'm the intelligence officer
responsible for overseeingCopy !req
365. the greatest intelligence failure
in American history.Copy !req
366. Close the door.Copy !req
367. Morale is at an all-time low,
and for good reason.Copy !req
368. The Japanese are advancing on all fronts
at a terrifying pace.Copy !req
369. I nevertheless know
the fighting spirit of our men.Copy !req
370. And I have faith in them.Copy !req
371. But I also need to knowCopy !req
372. that they have faith in themselves.Copy !req
373. I need you to be my Admiral Yamamoto.Copy !req
374. Get in his head.
Tell me what he's gonna do next.Copy !req
375. Your first assignment:Copy !req
376. we need to throw a punch.Copy !req
377. Not just for morale,Copy !req
378. but so the Japanese know
what it feels like to be hit.Copy !req
379. I'm sending Halsey to attack
the Marshall Islands.Copy !req
380. But I need to know
that they're not walking into a trap.Copy !req
381. The target is Roi Island.Copy !req
382. Our submarines have reported
shipping trafficCopy !req
383. and one military airfield.Copy !req
384. We don't know what we're facing,
so hit 'em as hard as possibleCopy !req
385. and then get the hell out.Copy !req
386. So what about the enemy carrier?Copy !req
387. Intelligence says
they're 2,000 miles away.Copy !req
388. You mean the same group of geniusesCopy !req
389. who didn't know the Japs
were gunning for Pearl?Copy !req
390. Like I said, be prepared for anything.Copy !req
391. The early bird
catches the worm, gentlemen.Copy !req
392. We're gonna hit that anchorage before
the Japs have even rolled out of bed.Copy !req
393. Looks like he spit-polished his shoes.Copy !req
394. Hey, guys. Let's get home in one piece.Copy !req
395. Oh, don't you worry.Copy !req
396. What's the plan, sir?Copy !req
397. The other squadrons will strike first.Copy !req
398. Then we go in and clean up
the remaining targets.Copy !req
399. The Japs will know we're coming.Copy !req
400. What happens if we get shot down?Copy !req
401. Look, I'm not gonna end up as a POW.Copy !req
402. And neither are you.Copy !req
403. I've got a large target in my sight.
Get close enough to make it count.Copy !req
404. Start your runs, boys. Engage torpedoes.Copy !req
405. Looks like our boys on Roi
poked a hornet's nest.Copy !req
406. We got a problem.Copy !req
407. I got eyes on a second enemy airfield
on Taroa Island.Copy !req
408. I'm counting maybe 30 bombers
and heavy fighter cover.Copy !req
409. You hear that, boys?Copy !req
410. If we don't knock out that airfield,
they'll go after Enterprise.Copy !req
411. And I want a place to land
when this is over.Copy !req
412. Enemy fighters, 11:00!Copy !req
413. We got company. Start your runs!Copy !req
414. Three thousand!Copy !req
415. Two thousand!Copy !req
416. Nineteen hundred!Copy !req
417. Eighteen hundred!Copy !req
418. Sixteen hundred!Copy !req
419. Get those bastards off me, Murray!Copy !req
420. Let's get out of here, Murray.Copy !req
421. We got most of the bombers,
but not all of them.Copy !req
422. Looks like they almost got you.Copy !req
423. Yeah, not enough lead.Copy !req
424. What, too much excitement for ya?Copy !req
425. I'm not looking to win a medal.Copy !req
426. You know, the Navy's gonna
make you pay for this aircraft.Copy !req
427. How'd you boys do?Copy !req
428. We lost Hopping.Copy !req
429. He never pulled out of his dive.Copy !req
430. That can't be good.Copy !req
431. Twin-engine bombers, 5:00.Copy !req
432. Goddamn gunners. Don't they know
they gotta lead those planes?Copy !req
433. - Right standard rudder.
- Brace!Copy !req
434. Brace for impact!Copy !req
435. What the hell is he doing?Copy !req
436. He's turning himself into a bomb.Copy !req
437. Come on!Copy !req
438. - Damn, Bruno.
- Aren't they paying us to kill Japs?Copy !req
439. Admiral Halsey wants to see you.Copy !req
440. That's the bravest damn thing
I think I've ever seen.Copy !req
441. - What's your name, son?
- Bruno Gaido, sir.Copy !req
442. Aviation Machinist's Mate, Third Class.Copy !req
443. Well, Bruno, you are now
an Aviation Machinist's Mate, First Class.Copy !req
444. Signal the fleet. Tell 'em it's time
to haul ass with Halsey.Copy !req
445. Yes, sir.Copy !req
446. You heard the man. Signal the fleet.Copy !req
447. Are you really sure you want your wife
flying wingman for you tonight?Copy !req
448. Yeah. Nobody told me
there'd be USO girls here tonight.Copy !req
449. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
450. Hi.Copy !req
451. I got us a table.Copy !req
452. - Wade, have you met Ann?
- Wade McClusky.Copy !req
453. I fly with your husband.Copy !req
454. Hey, uh, you want a drink?Copy !req
455. I do, if you want me to dance.Copy !req
456. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
457. How long have you been married?Copy !req
458. Long enough to know my husband's talents.Copy !req
459. Why isn't he commanding a squadron?Copy !req
460. Well, I don't make those decisions.Copy !req
461. - Two mai tais, please.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
462. I understand before the war,
when it was about politics, but now?Copy !req
463. - I told you she was a firecracker.Copy !req
464. I have to say...Copy !req
465. I often wondered what kind of woman
would marry Dick Best, and, uh...Copy !req
466. well, you have not disappointed.Copy !req
467. Dick Best.Copy !req
468. - Hey, Layton.
- Hey.Copy !req
469. How was the Marshall Islands?Copy !req
470. Yeah, we got our feet wet.Copy !req
471. You keeping tabs on me?Copy !req
472. I'm with Fleet Intelligence.Copy !req
473. Thank God.Copy !req
474. We're gonna need someone
as smart as you after Pearl.Copy !req
475. You gonna straighten those boys out?Copy !req
476. I'll do my best.Copy !req
477. Your mai tai, sir.Copy !req
478. Well, I'm rooting for you.Copy !req
479. - Hey, say hi to the wife.
- You as well.Copy !req
480. Just be straight with me.Copy !req
481. What am I missing?Copy !req
482. Every time we go up
in one of those planes...Copy !req
483. there's a chance we won't come back.Copy !req
484. Now, it's hard to follow a man
who doesn't know that.Copy !req
485. Or even worse...Copy !req
486. doesn't care.Copy !req
487. Let's dance.Copy !req
488. Okay.Copy !req
489. Excuse me.Copy !req
490. Then I'd ratherCopy !req
491. have nothing at allCopy !req
492. Come to bed.Copy !req
493. Welcοme abοard Enterprise.Copy !req
494. You're replacing good men.Copy !req
495. Much earlier than me
or the Navy wanted, but...Copy !req
496. Well, that's the hand we've been dealt.Copy !req
497. Now, you're going in the rotation,
and as XO, it's my job to make sureCopy !req
498. you're worth more than
a bucket of warm spit.Copy !req
499. The Japs are waiting for us,Copy !req
500. so we need pilots who can hold their own.Copy !req
501. Hey.Copy !req
502. You gotta see this.Copy !req
503. What the hell are Army planes
doing on a carrier?Copy !req
504. Well, Mr. Browning,Copy !req
505. the commander of those bombers?Copy !req
506. Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle.Copy !req
507. Maybe the best pilot in the world.Copy !req
508. And he intends to launch
his planes off the Hornet,Copy !req
509. strike Tokyo, and then land in Free China.Copy !req
510. Captain?Copy !req
511. Enemy pickets 50 miles out.Copy !req
512. They're gonna blow our cover.Copy !req
513. Every mile we get Doolittle
closer to Japan,Copy !req
514. is fuel he can use
to get the hell out of there.Copy !req
515. But I'm not gonna risk these carriers.Copy !req
516. What do we tell Doolittle?Copy !req
517. The truth.Copy !req
518. We got the order to launch.Copy !req
519. How far out are we?Copy !req
520. Too far.Copy !req
521. We'll probably end up ditching
in the East China Sea.Copy !req
522. But if we bomb Tokyo,Copy !req
523. we'll be the first enemy
in Japan's historyCopy !req
524. to hit their home territory.Copy !req
525. If any of you want to bow out...Copy !req
526. now's your chance.Copy !req
527. We all wanna fly, sir.Copy !req
528. Man your planes.Copy !req
529. I'll see you all in China.Copy !req
530. They can't take off.
Certainly not with a load.Copy !req
531. And they sure as hell can't land.Copy !req
532. Ten bucks says they don't
make it off the deck.Copy !req
533. Yeah, I'll take that bet.Copy !req
534. Hello, everyone. This is Radio Tokyo,Copy !req
535. talking about the collapse
of American forces in the Philippines.Copy !req
536. - Our glorious Japanese forces...
- Evening, gents.Copy !req
537. What's going on, Captain?Copy !req
538. Those sound like air raid sirens to me.Copy !req
539. Bombs away, sir.Copy !req
540. Let's get out of here.Copy !req
541. - What? No.
- Taking these hostage.Copy !req
542. Just half an hour.Copy !req
543. Does America winning the warCopy !req
544. really depend on Edwin Layton
working himself to death?Copy !req
545. Some of our boys bombed Tokyo today.Copy !req
546. They were supposed to land in Free China,Copy !req
547. but they're probably gonna run out of fuel
and have to ditch in the China Sea.Copy !req
548. If by some miracle they actually make it
into Japanese occupied territory,Copy !req
549. they'll be tortured and executed.Copy !req
550. What can you do?Copy !req
551. Most likely nothing.Copy !req
552. But we're not gonna lose any more men
because I didn't dig deep enough.Copy !req
553. I'll fix you a sandwich.Copy !req
554. I keep recalculating,
but with this steady tailwind...Copy !req
555. You think we're over land?Copy !req
556. Yeah. Maybe.Copy !req
557. Only one way to find out.Copy !req
558. Everyone, we gotta bail out.Copy !req
559. I don't know if we're
over Chinese or Jap territory.Copy !req
560. So, watch yourselves.Copy !req
561. I'll see you all in Quzhou.Copy !req
562. You're next, Potter.Copy !req
563. You have a train station...Copy !req
564. Smoke comes out the train. I'm a friend.Copy !req
565. American. I'm an ally.Copy !req
566. I need to get to Quzhou.Copy !req
567. - Quzhou.Copy !req
568. - Hello.
- Hello.Copy !req
569. My name is Zhu Xuesan.Copy !req
570. Schoolteacher.Copy !req
571. You... you are American?Copy !req
572. American. I bombed Japan yesterday.Copy !req
573. Where... where's the plane?Copy !req
574. It crashed. I bailed out
and landed in the water last night.Copy !req
575. Where's, uh, para... parachute?Copy !req
576. I left it at the shore.Copy !req
577. Ask them. I knocked on their door
in the middle of the night.Copy !req
578. He say you lie.Copy !req
579. - He want your gun.Copy !req
580. I'm an American officer. I keep my gun.Copy !req
581. You bomb Japan?Copy !req
582. I sure did.Copy !req
583. - Welcome. Welcome.
- Hi.Copy !req
584. I need to get to Quzhou.Copy !req
585. - To Quzhou.
- Quzhou.Copy !req
586. - Quzhou.
- Quzhou.Copy !req
587. Yeah.Copy !req
588. The Japanese are sending
their carriers into the Coral Sea.Copy !req
589. Yes, sir.Copy !req
590. They're trying to break our lifeline
with Australia.Copy !req
591. Send a secure message to Admiral Halsey.Copy !req
592. I want Enterprise to join Yorktown
and Lexington in the Coral Sea.Copy !req
593. - And tell Halsey time is a factor.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
594. - There's something else.
- There always is.Copy !req
595. - I heard a theory.
- What kind of theory?Copy !req
596. According to one of my officers,
Coral Sea is just a warm-up.Copy !req
597. He thinks that the Japanese are planning
something bigger. Much bigger.Copy !req
598. What makes him think that?Copy !req
599. Little bits and pieces
that we've intercepted.Copy !req
600. A message about a battleship
not being ready for an upcoming operation.Copy !req
601. Request for maps of the Aleutian Islands.Copy !req
602. What's the target?Copy !req
603. We don't know yet.Copy !req
604. Do you trust this officer?Copy !req
605. He's the most brilliant man I know.Copy !req
606. Well, have him figure it out.Copy !req
607. Always no match.Copy !req
608. Keep it.Copy !req
609. Thank you.Copy !req
610. There are no installations here.Copy !req
611. What's their target?Copy !req
612. People are target.Copy !req
613. People.Copy !req
614. People.Copy !req
615. And we just made it worse.Copy !req
616. I have to go.Copy !req
617. My family.Copy !req
618. They... they take you Quzhou.Copy !req
619. Help find your men.Copy !req
620. Thank you.Copy !req
621. For everything.Copy !req
622. Twenty four hours too late.Copy !req
623. Damn it. Why couldn't we have been here?Copy !req
624. This leaves us and Hornet
as the only carriers in the Pacific.Copy !req
625. Attention on deck!Copy !req
626. I wanna talk to McClusky and Best.Copy !req
627. As you were.Copy !req
628. Oh, for Christ's sake.Copy !req
629. You okay, Admiral?Copy !req
630. I got this damn rash.Copy !req
631. Listen up. I'm done playing politics.Copy !req
632. The Navy... hell, the whole damn country
is counting on us.Copy !req
633. And I need my best men in the right spots.Copy !req
634. So, McClusky...Copy !req
635. you are now in charge of the air group.Copy !req
636. I don't have a lick of confidence
in those damn torpedoes.Copy !req
637. So I want you in a dive bomber.Copy !req
638. And Best, I'm bumping you up from XO.Copy !req
639. You're the new skipper of Bombing Six.Copy !req
640. Good luck, boys.Copy !req
641. Well, I guess you're gonna
have to learn to fly an SBD.Copy !req
642. I've logged plenty of hours
in the Dauntless.Copy !req
643. Not diving at a live target.Copy !req
644. Can't be that hard. I mean, you do it.Copy !req
645. So, I just got off the phone
with Washington,Copy !req
646. and their intelligence guys think
you're wrong about this big operation.Copy !req
647. They think that the Japs are sending
their carriers back into the Coral Sea.Copy !req
648. Yeah. And they've ordered me
to keep Enterprise down there.Copy !req
649. That's a mistake.Copy !req
650. Washington is starting
from a faulty assumptionCopy !req
651. and looking for evidence
to corroborate it.Copy !req
652. So, what's the Japs' real target?Copy !req
653. We believe it's Midway.Copy !req
654. They see our base there
as a step towards HawaiiCopy !req
655. and eventually the West Coast.Copy !req
656. - When?
- In a few weeks.Copy !req
657. I think it's time to pay a visit
to your friends in Station HYPO.Copy !req
658. Matt, bring the car around.Copy !req
659. I have to warn you, sir,
codebreakers are a rare breed.Copy !req
660. Rochefort's way of doing
things is especially...Copy !req
661. particular.Copy !req
662. I don't care if he consults coffee grounds
while doing the boogie-woogie,Copy !req
663. as long as the Intel is good.Copy !req
664. Attention on deck.Copy !req
665. Carry on, gentlemen.Copy !req
666. Where's Rochefort?Copy !req
667. If you'll follow me, sir.Copy !req
668. Didn't realize that the Navy
had so many trained codebreakers.Copy !req
669. We don't.Copy !req
670. Most of these men were
in the band on the California.Copy !req
671. But since we don't have
much use for bands these days,Copy !req
672. Rochefort thought
that their musical abilitiesCopy !req
673. might make them naturals
at breaking the rhythms of ciphers.Copy !req
674. Sorry, Admiral, it, uh,Copy !req
675. gets cold down here in the dungeon.Copy !req
676. I'm told you're brilliant.Copy !req
677. Well, Lieutenant Commander Layton
has been known to exaggerate.Copy !req
678. I hope not.Copy !req
679. He told me he's absolutely certain
the Japs are gonna hit Midway,Copy !req
680. and I need to know
whether or not I can believe him.Copy !req
681. Well, if you don't believe him,
we'll all be speaking Japanese.Copy !req
682. Or, most likely, we'll be dead.Copy !req
683. Show me how this works.Copy !req
684. You mean, like a tour?Copy !req
685. Exactly.Copy !req
686. Like a tour.Copy !req
687. So this is where it starts.Copy !req
688. We intercept roughly 60%
of secure Japanese radio traffic,Copy !req
689. and we've cracked enough of their codeCopy !req
690. to be able to break
about 40% of those messages.Copy !req
691. So we're able to read about a quarter
of their secure communications?Copy !req
692. Uh, no. Not exactly.Copy !req
693. Here's some of our, uh,Copy !req
694. cracked messages.Copy !req
695. It's gibberish to me.Copy !req
696. Yes, but if you read enough of it...Copy !req
697. Rochefort has a gift
for assembling the fragments.Copy !req
698. He can recall a message
from two months ago,Copy !req
699. and plug it into today's intercept.Copy !req
700. Explain the disagreement with Washington.Copy !req
701. Well, we all have access
to the same raw information,Copy !req
702. but, uh, over here,
is where our paths diverge.Copy !req
703. - Translation and analysis.
- Now, Washington agrees with us...Copy !req
704. that Japs are gonna attack
a major target code-named AF.Copy !req
705. But Washington believes
that AF is located in the South Pacific,Copy !req
706. which is why they ordered you
to keep Enterprise down there.Copy !req
707. Do you have any direct proof
that they're wrong?Copy !req
708. Direct proof? No, but...Copy !req
709. Sir.Copy !req
710. Imagine that you're throwing a wedding
and maybe I've never seen the invitation,Copy !req
711. but I hear from the caterers
that they have an event on a certain date.Copy !req
712. The flower guy is buying up
all the roses on the island.Copy !req
713. The best band is booked.Copy !req
714. That's what signal intelligence
can give you.Copy !req
715. Clues.Copy !req
716. Not a definitive answer.Copy !req
717. Sir? After Pearl, you told me
to stick to my guns.Copy !req
718. I swear to you, Joe's right about this.Copy !req
719. I'm not generally predisposedCopy !req
720. to trust a bunch of tuba playersCopy !req
721. led by a man wearing fuzzy slippers.Copy !req
722. But...Copy !req
723. I'll figure a way to get
the Enterprise back here.Copy !req
724. Meantime, you gentlemen
need to convince Washington...Copy !req
725. that the Japs' real target is Midway.Copy !req
726. How, sir?Copy !req
727. Washington doesn't exactly have
a habit of listening to us.Copy !req
728. Well, I'm sure you'll think of something.Copy !req
729. Come in.Copy !req
730. An eyes-only message from Pearl.Copy !req
731. Nimitz.Copy !req
732. He wants us to be spotted.Copy !req
733. Because if the Japs see us,Copy !req
734. we can break our standing orders
with Washington and return to Pearl.Copy !req
735. We never received this message.Copy !req
736. Sir? The admiral needs you.Copy !req
737. Okay.Copy !req
738. Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
739. Well, keep me informed.Copy !req
740. That was Washington.Copy !req
741. They've intercepted
several Japanese messagesCopy !req
742. claiming that the target
of their upcoming attackCopy !req
743. is out of fresh water.Copy !req
744. Interesting, sir.Copy !req
745. I heard that Midway accidentally sent outCopy !req
746. an unencrypted transmission
that their water plant was broken.Copy !req
747. And is their water plant broken?Copy !req
748. Not that I know of, sir.Copy !req
749. But that proves Midway is AF.Copy !req
750. Okay. Tell your man Rochefort
that everyone now agreesCopy !req
751. on where his wedding is gonna be held.Copy !req
752. We just need to know
how many guests are comingCopy !req
753. and when they plan to arrive.Copy !req
754. Mack, I think we found the spot.Copy !req
755. Can't say, Mr. Ford, that I've ever helped
a big-time Hollywood directorCopy !req
756. scout for a movie before.Copy !req
757. What kind of film you planning to make
in a godforsaken place like this?Copy !req
758. Friend of mine in the NavyCopy !req
759. said that I might be able
to find some real action here.Copy !req
760. I think I've been hoodwinked.Copy !req
761. I don't know, sir. From the way
we've been fortifying this little island,Copy !req
762. - I'd say your friend has some good Intel.Copy !req
763. Attention on deck!Copy !req
764. Very funny.Copy !req
765. - Sit the hell down.Copy !req
766. I'm gonna keep this short.Copy !req
767. I know some of you thought I was
a pain in the ass as XO, but...Copy !req
768. that's about to get worse.Copy !req
769. We're headed back to Pearl to resupply,Copy !req
770. and it's probably because
something big is coming down the pipe.Copy !req
771. I'm therefore doubling
our scouting flights,Copy !req
772. and I expect you to practice diving runs
whenever you get a chance.Copy !req
773. Don't be the man who lets down
the squadronCopy !req
774. when we finally face the Japs.Copy !req
775. Dismissed.Copy !req
776. Can I talk to you, sir?Copy !req
777. I don't know if I can do this, sir.Copy !req
778. I thought I was a good pilot, but...Copy !req
779. I've lost my confidence.Copy !req
780. Why did you become a pilot?Copy !req
781. Your dad wanted you to be an officer, huh?Copy !req
782. Actually, my dad didn't have
much respect for officers.Copy !req
783. Said that most of them didn't know
their ass from their elbow.Copy !req
784. You know,
my dad was a tough son of a bitch.Copy !req
785. You know how I got his respect?Copy !req
786. By always staying in the fight.Copy !req
787. I wish I had the luxury
of worrying about your confidence,Copy !req
788. but we're short on pilots,
so you gotta suck it up.Copy !req
789. Yes, sir.Copy !req
790. Wait.Copy !req
791. From now on, you're my wing man.Copy !req
792. I'll be lookin' out for you.Copy !req
793. Now, go suit up for a scouting flight.Copy !req
794. Tell me. What's your secret?Copy !req
795. My secret?Copy !req
796. He wants to know why nothing bothers you.Copy !req
797. My uncle was a welder
on the Empire State Building.Copy !req
798. He'd walk on a beam 1,000 feet
up in the sky, no ropes, nothing.Copy !req
799. And everyone thought he was crazy,
but to him, he was just doing a job.Copy !req
800. And one Sunday, he's walking home
from church, a block away from his house,Copy !req
801. when a cab jumps over the curb,
splatters him like a bug.Copy !req
802. You never know what's gonna get you.Copy !req
803. So why worry about it?Copy !req
804. Hey! Let's go.Copy !req
805. Simple scouting mission.Copy !req
806. On the way home,
we practice the dive, you got it?Copy !req
807. - Yes, sir.
- We'll be going deeper this time,Copy !req
808. so don't pull up too fast on the bottom
or you'll black out.Copy !req
809. Oh, shit.Copy !req
810. The ship's moving too slow.Copy !req
811. Abort! Abort takeoff!Copy !req
812. The ship's too slow!Copy !req
813. We're not generating
enough wind for launch.Copy !req
814. No, stop! Stop!Copy !req
815. Plane in water.Copy !req
816. Turn starboard, goddamn it!Copy !req
817. Turn starboard.Copy !req
818. Guess you don't like the chokers either.Copy !req
819. I'd get grease on that thing
just trying to button it up.Copy !req
820. Makes me look like a damn waiter.Copy !req
821. Nobody would ever confuse you
for a waiter.Copy !req
822. You look like hell, Bill.Copy !req
823. I'm fine.Copy !req
824. Tired.Copy !req
825. Every man on the ship's tired.Copy !req
826. We've been out six months without a break.Copy !req
827. There's a big difference between tiredCopy !req
828. and whatever the hell you are.Copy !req
829. You're going ashore to the hospital.Copy !req
830. Does this look like a battle wound to you?Copy !req
831. It's a damn rash.Copy !req
832. Now, what are my men gonna thinkCopy !req
833. when their admiral up and decides
he needs a vacation?Copy !req
834. It's a direct order, Bill.Copy !req
835. And we keep losing men.Copy !req
836. It's not even the Japs.Copy !req
837. Herman crashed on takeoff.
Tom Durkin disappeared on patrol.Copy !req
838. And there's this other kid...Copy !req
839. Willie West.Copy !req
840. He didn't think he could cut it.
I figured it was just the usual jitters.Copy !req
841. I take him under my wing.Copy !req
842. I wrote a letter to his mother yesterday,Copy !req
843. telling her I failed him.Copy !req
844. It's not your fault.Copy !req
845. He was right to be scared.Copy !req
846. Everybody knows something big is coming.Copy !req
847. We're talking about a couple dozen planes
against the whole Japanese fleet.Copy !req
848. And if we lose, they own the Pacific,Copy !req
849. and they raid the West Coast.Copy !req
850. Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles...Copy !req
851. will burn.Copy !req
852. And this damn war will last a decade.Copy !req
853. I've never seen you this worried before.Copy !req
854. I never had to worry
when it was just me and my plane, but...Copy !req
855. Ann, it's different now.
I have to lead these men.Copy !req
856. What do I say to them?Copy !req
857. Just...Copy !req
858. be honest.Copy !req
859. And let them see what I can see.Copy !req
860. They'll follow you anywhere, Dick Best.Copy !req
861. Sir, the Yorktown
was hit by a 500-pound bomb.Copy !req
862. We need at least two weeks for repairs.Copy !req
863. Not acceptable.Copy !req
864. Our initial estimate was three
months in dry dock in Seattle.Copy !req
865. I need this ship.Copy !req
866. I don't care if you need to
patch the deck with plywood...Copy !req
867. Yorktown sails in 72 hours.Copy !req
868. Halsey is out.Copy !req
869. He's in the hospital with shingles.Copy !req
870. So I've given command of Task Force 16
to Admiral Spruance.Copy !req
871. We're setting a trap.Copy !req
872. Our carriers will lie in wait
northeast of Midway.Copy !req
873. Now, we have set up a picket line
of submarines here.Copy !req
874. As for Midway itself,Copy !req
875. we have crammed every plane
we can spare onto that runway.Copy !req
876. But this time, if we're lucky...Copy !req
877. surprise will be on our side.Copy !req
878. Layton, how reliable are these estimates
of the Japanese positions?Copy !req
879. They represent our best guess,
based on the intelligence that we have.Copy !req
880. I can't plan around your guess.Copy !req
881. I understand that we're asking
the impossible,Copy !req
882. but we need you to be specific.Copy !req
883. The Japanese will attack
on the morning of June 4Copy !req
884. from the Northwest,
at a bearing of 325 degrees.Copy !req
885. They will be sighted 175 miles from Midway
at 0700 local time.Copy !req
886. I trust Layton and his team.Copy !req
887. Make your plans accordingly.Copy !req
888. Dismissed.Copy !req
889. - Clear the deck.Copy !req
890. Torpedo Squadron Six coming in from Pearl.Copy !req
891. Clear the deck. Torpedo Squadron Six
coming in from Pearl.Copy !req
892. He's in trouble.Copy !req
893. Shit!Copy !req
894. We need a rescue team!Copy !req
895. - Easy. Easy. Easy.
- Easy, boys. Easy.Copy !req
896. Get him over.
Hand him off. One, two, three.Copy !req
897. - Easy, Lieutenant.Copy !req
898. - How's your back doing, Lieutenant?Copy !req
899. It feels like someone dropped
a tractor on it.Copy !req
900. So that's what
your squadrons are up against?Copy !req
901. Four carriers,Copy !req
902. approximately 250 aircraft,Copy !req
903. plus the biggest battleship in the world.Copy !req
904. Yeah, not to mention
the Japs are unbeatable.Copy !req
905. We've got the drop on the bastards.Copy !req
906. Make it count.Copy !req
907. How's Lindsey?Copy !req
908. Not good, sir.Copy !req
909. - Do you trust the intelligence?
- I'm trying.Copy !req
910. Because we're betting
a hell of a lot on this hand.Copy !req
911. Yeah.Copy !req
912. I can't believe
I'm saying this, but, uh...Copy !req
913. I liked you better when you were cocky.Copy !req
914. - Hey, you don't have to worry about me.
- Oh, really?Copy !req
915. You've been blaming yourself
for that kid who went down.Copy !req
916. How do I make it right?Copy !req
917. Make sure your men are ready for tomorrow.Copy !req
918. And you bring back
as many of 'em as you can.Copy !req
919. Ship sighted.Copy !req
920. - It's the Yorktown!Copy !req
921. How the hell
did she get out of dry dock in time?Copy !req
922. I don't know.Copy !req
923. - I guess every battle needs a miracle.
- Whoo!Copy !req
924. You've memorized every position
on that board, Layton.Copy !req
925. Go home.Copy !req
926. I think I'm going
to spend the night here, sir,Copy !req
927. just in case anything comes up.Copy !req
928. - Your wife doesn't mind?
- Well, she knows the drill.Copy !req
929. My wife knows the drill too,
but she still minds.Copy !req
930. When the war's over, I plan on spending
the rest of my life making it up to her.Copy !req
931. Get some rest. Good night.Copy !req
932. They've scrambled all the squadrons.Copy !req
933. Radar must've picked up something.Copy !req
934. That's great, Mikey, that's great.Copy !req
935. Next time, get the horn up
a little higher, all right?Copy !req
936. - All right, sir.
- A little higher. Good.Copy !req
937. All right. Lower the flag,
we're going again.Copy !req
938. Get something in your stomachs.Copy !req
939. It's gonna be a long day.Copy !req
940. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, boys.Copy !req
941. Nobody thinks we can go
toe-to-toe with the Japanese.Copy !req
942. Not in a fair fight.Copy !req
943. Today, we're gonna be big underdogs.Copy !req
944. Me?Copy !req
945. I think the men in this room
can fly with anyone.Copy !req
946. Maybe that's 'cause
I'm a cocky son of a bitch.Copy !req
947. But it's also because
I've seen what you can do.Copy !req
948. You're ready for this.Copy !req
949. We're gonna give 'em a shellackin'.Copy !req
950. They're coming! The Japs are coming!Copy !req
951. Mr. Ford! We have incoming aircraft.
We need to get you to a bunker.Copy !req
952. - Incoming aircraft?Copy !req
953. Sir, you have to take cover, sir.Copy !req
954. Holy shit! To the roof!Copy !req
955. Mr. Ford, wait!Copy !req
956. With all due respect, sir,Copy !req
957. there isn't going to be a movie, sir,
if we don't get you to cover.Copy !req
958. I'm gonna shoot the damn picture.Copy !req
959. Got it, Jackie?Copy !req
960. Beautiful!Copy !req
961. Are you okay?Copy !req
962. Keep shooting. Keep shooting!Copy !req
963. Japanese air attack reported on Midway.Copy !req
964. And one of our scout planes
just sighted the enemy fleet.Copy !req
965. Spotted where?Copy !req
966. He reports carriers bearing 320 degrees,Copy !req
967. 180 miles Northwest of Midway.Copy !req
968. Well, Layton,
you and Rochefort were only offCopy !req
969. five minutes, five miles and five degrees.Copy !req
970. Well, we'll endeavor
to do better next time, sir.Copy !req
971. Give our pilots the enemy position.
Tell them to attack.Copy !req
972. Yes, sir.Copy !req
973. Hey, Lindsey!Copy !req
974. You still owe me 10 bucks.Copy !req
975. You trying to collect
before I get myself shot down?Copy !req
976. Nah, I know you're good for it, Lindsey.
You don't have to fly today.Copy !req
977. Nobody would doubt your courage.Copy !req
978. I will lead my squadron in.Copy !req
979. Good luck, sir.Copy !req
980. I'll be right behind you.Copy !req
981. I'll meet you at the Japanese fleet.Copy !req
982. They got a Jintsu type cruiser.
Range 2,500 yards.Copy !req
983. I'm not wasting a torpedo on a cruiser.Copy !req
984. Where are the carriers?Copy !req
985. - Sir, we need to go deep.
- Man battle stations.Copy !req
986. Battle stations. Everybody, in your bunks.Copy !req
987. Well, Murray...Copy !req
988. this is it.Copy !req
989. The Enterprise has launched its SBDs
and their squadrons of marine dive bombersCopy !req
990. following the new
sighting report out of Midway.Copy !req
991. We gotta climb higher, boys.Copy !req
992. We need to conserve fuel.Copy !req
993. Approaching altitude of 14,000 feet.Copy !req
994. Release your oxygen, sir.Copy !req
995. Are you okay, sir?Copy !req
996. It's my oxygen.Copy !req
997. Must've gotten a bad mix.Copy !req
998. We have to go back.
It'll tear up your lungs.Copy !req
999. I'm not sending the squadron out there
without their commander.Copy !req
1000. There she is.Copy !req
1001. We got a carrier, maybe 4,000 yards.Copy !req
1002. Sir, the Japs are right on us.Copy !req
1003. Make tubes one and two ready.Copy !req
1004. Make tubes one and two
ready in all respects.Copy !req
1005. Tubes one and two ready, aye.Copy !req
1006. - Flood down tube one.
- Flood down tube one, aye.Copy !req
1007. Bearing.Copy !req
1008. Mark.Copy !req
1009. - Matched.
- Tube one.Copy !req
1010. Fire!Copy !req
1011. Six Baker 10,
do you have visual?Copy !req
1012. Nothin'.Copy !req
1013. Must've gotten a bum sighting report.Copy !req
1014. Or maybe they've changed course.Copy !req
1015. Let's do a back search.Copy !req
1016. Here they come again.Copy !req
1017. Target spotted.Copy !req
1018. The screws are fading.Copy !req
1019. - I think they're leaving, sir.
- Take us to periscope depth.Copy !req
1020. Enemy destroyer's
headed back to her fleet.Copy !req
1021. I've got a ship.Copy !req
1022. Jap destroyer at flank speed.Copy !req
1023. What do you wanna bet she's trying
to catch up with the carriers?Copy !req
1024. Sir, we've been
up here for almost two hours.Copy !req
1025. What if we run out of fuel,
and the whole squadron has to ditch?Copy !req
1026. Then I'll probably end up
scrubbing potatoes at Leavenworth.Copy !req
1027. To hell with it. Follow me, boys.Copy !req
1028. I hope you're right, McClusky.Copy !req
1029. Bombing Six on me.Copy !req
1030. You think they've seen us?Copy !req
1031. When they see us, we'll know.Copy !req
1032. Brace for impact!Copy !req
1033. Goddamn it. That magnificent
son of a bitch actually found them.Copy !req
1034. All right, boys.Copy !req
1035. Bombing Six, we've got
the first bastard in line.Copy !req
1036. Mr. Best, watch out!Copy !req
1037. What the hell?Copy !req
1038. McClusky was supposed
to go for the far carrier.Copy !req
1039. Stay on me.Copy !req
1040. We're at 4,000.Copy !req
1041. Three thousand!Copy !req
1042. Do it, baby, come on!Copy !req
1043. Come on!Copy !req
1044. Two thousand!Copy !req
1045. Eighteen hundred!Copy !req
1046. Come on, Dickinson,
do what you're paid to do!Copy !req
1047. - Whoo!
- Yeah!Copy !req
1048. Feeling a little lonely, sir?Copy !req
1049. Wish we'd brought
more planes to the party.Copy !req
1050. You always wanted
to be a hero, Kroeger.Copy !req
1051. Now's your chance.Copy !req
1052. Okay, Murray.Copy !req
1053. We put that carrier out of action
even if we have to crash on her deck.Copy !req
1054. Four thousand!Copy !req
1055. Three thousand!Copy !req
1056. Eighteen hundred!Copy !req
1057. Sixteen hundred!Copy !req
1058. Fifteen hundred!Copy !req
1059. That was a beauty, sir!Copy !req
1060. Right on her deck!Copy !req
1061. Any fighters on our tail?Copy !req
1062. No, sir.
They must be chasing someone else.Copy !req
1063. We're going in!Copy !req
1064. O'Flaherty and Gaido are down, sir.Copy !req
1065. If you don't hit them damn Zeros,
we're gonna be joining 'em.Copy !req
1066. Are you okay, sir?Copy !req
1067. Radio our position.Copy !req
1068. We gotta get a ship out here
to pick up Gaido and O'Flaherty.Copy !req
1069. Do you want us
to contact Admiral Spruance?Copy !req
1070. No, he can't break radio silence.Copy !req
1071. For me?Copy !req
1072. Rochefort intercepted a Japanese signal.Copy !req
1073. He can't translate the body,
but look at the call sign.Copy !req
1074. That's from Admiral Nagumo.Copy !req
1075. But he's not transmitting from the Akagi.
He's transmitting from a cruiser.Copy !req
1076. Now, why the hell would Nagumo
leave his flagship?Copy !req
1077. They taught us
about dehydration in flight school.Copy !req
1078. Your skin starts to crack.Copy !req
1079. - Liver fails.
- Knock it off.Copy !req
1080. - What if nobody finds us?
- We swim back to Pearl.Copy !req
1081. Good luck with sharks.Copy !req
1082. We'll need something to eat.Copy !req
1083. Wait. Wait. I see something.Copy !req
1084. Looks like a destroyer.Copy !req
1085. American or Jap?Copy !req
1086. You, tell us your ship,Copy !req
1087. or we throw you overboard.Copy !req
1088. Cigarette?Copy !req
1089. You know, I had a lot of friends
at Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
1090. So how about you go fuck yourself?Copy !req
1091. Murray, get something to eat.Copy !req
1092. I bet we're going back out there.Copy !req
1093. We have to go upstairs to report.Copy !req
1094. - Hey, what happened?
- I got strafed by a Zero.Copy !req
1095. Hey, how'd you know
to follow that Jap destroyer?Copy !req
1096. I played a hunch.Copy !req
1097. Well, your hunch might have
won us this battle.Copy !req
1098. But I gotta tell ya...Copy !req
1099. that looked like some
cowboy bullshit to me.Copy !req
1100. Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.Copy !req
1101. Yorktown's hit.Copy !req
1102. What have we got left?Copy !req
1103. Couple of SBDs just returned.Copy !req
1104. - The pilots are coming up to report.Copy !req
1105. What's the news
from the enemy fleet?Copy !req
1106. Three carriers down. One to go.Copy !req
1107. And our air group?Copy !req
1108. Only three torpedo bombers came back,
and they're all shot up.Copy !req
1109. What about the dive bombers?Copy !req
1110. We can probably scrounge up a dozen.Copy !req
1111. McClusky, you've been shot.Copy !req
1112. - I can fly, sir.
- The hell you can.Copy !req
1113. Get your ass down to sick bay.Copy !req
1114. Put the pilots you trust
in any plane that can fly.Copy !req
1115. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1116. - You okay, sir?Copy !req
1117. I'm fine.Copy !req
1118. Has anybody heard from Dickinson?Copy !req
1119. No. Not yet.Copy !req
1120. Look, I know you boys
have just been through hell.Copy !req
1121. But we gotta go back
and hit the last carrier.Copy !req
1122. I'll see if I can find more men.Copy !req
1123. Hey.Copy !req
1124. Strap up.Copy !req
1125. We're going back out.Copy !req
1126. I'm sorry, sir, but I think
you need to find somebody else.Copy !req
1127. You don't know what it's like
to be in the back seat, sir.Copy !req
1128. You fly like you don't care
if we come home.Copy !req
1129. I wanna go home too.Copy !req
1130. I wanna spend more than
a few days at a time with my wife.Copy !req
1131. See my little girl grow up.Copy !req
1132. And you're right.Copy !req
1133. If we go out there,Copy !req
1134. we probably aren't coming back.Copy !req
1135. But this is our job,Copy !req
1136. and we're the guys who have to hold
the fort till the cavalry arrives.Copy !req
1137. Look, if you really can't fly,Copy !req
1138. I'll find someone else.Copy !req
1139. But you should get back in that plane.Copy !req
1140. You'll remember this moment
for the rest of your life.Copy !req
1141. And if you know that you came through
when people were counting on you,Copy !req
1142. you'll be able to face anything.Copy !req
1143. We've come this far, Murray.Copy !req
1144. Don't make me go back
out there without you.Copy !req
1145. I'll warm her up, sir.Copy !req
1146. Get ready, Murray.Copy !req
1147. We're not sneaking up on them this time.Copy !req
1148. Here they come!Copy !req
1149. Altitude.Copy !req
1150. We've got Zeroes on our tail.Copy !req
1151. This is for Pearl.Copy !req
1152. Yeah. You're gonna be okay.Copy !req
1153. Thanks, boys.Copy !req
1154. What happened to you?Copy !req
1155. I ran out of fuel about 20 miles out.Copy !req
1156. Ditched next to the Phelps.Copy !req
1157. Where's Best?Copy !req
1158. That's one of his wing men.Copy !req
1159. He hasn't come back yet.Copy !req
1160. He's probably just taking a victory lap.Copy !req
1161. Yeah.Copy !req
1162. Hey.Copy !req
1163. Men like Dick Best are the reason
we're gonna win this war.Copy !req
1164. Come on, Best.Copy !req
1165. Let's go.Copy !req
1166. Any news?Copy !req
1167. The kids are out back. Go, go.Copy !req
1168. Hi.Copy !req
1169. Cindy heard a rumor from the base.Copy !req
1170. There's a big battle,Copy !req
1171. and one of our carriers is sinking.Copy !req
1172. And the pilots?Copy !req
1173. It sounds like we lost a lot of them.Copy !req
1174. I'm gonna go powder my nose quickly.Copy !req
1175. The Japanese might charge
with their battleships.Copy !req
1176. So we will withdraw for the night.Copy !req
1177. But their fleet might be
out of range in the morning.Copy !req
1178. Nimitz ordered us to be judicious.Copy !req
1179. We won a great victory today.Copy !req
1180. Let's not blow it.Copy !req
1181. Goddamn it! Dick Best!Copy !req
1182. Hang in there, kid.Copy !req
1183. We're almost home.Copy !req
1184. I thought you were dead.Copy !req
1185. Yeah. They said the same thing about you.Copy !req
1186. I'm glad they were wrong.Copy !req
1187. Admiral's orders.Copy !req
1188. Give it to Murray. He earned it.Copy !req
1189. Give me your hand.Copy !req
1190. You okay?Copy !req
1191. Yeah.Copy !req
1192. Corpsman!Copy !req
1193. I need a corpsman!Copy !req
1194. I got you.Copy !req
1195. Here we go.Copy !req
1196. What happened to Bruno?Copy !req
1197. PBY flew over his last known position.Copy !req
1198. They spotted an empty life raft.Copy !req
1199. The Japanese are retreating.Copy !req
1200. - We won.Copy !req
1201. God bless those boys.Copy !req
1202. Turns out all they needed
was a fair fight.Copy !req
1203. Half our men...Copy !req
1204. dead or missing.Copy !req
1205. Yeah.Copy !req
1206. Hey, whatever happened to that whiskey?Copy !req
1207. I was waiting for you
to sneak out of sick bay.Copy !req
1208. We did it.Copy !req
1209. Hang on, boys.Copy !req
1210. - Thanks.
- Of course.Copy !req
1211. Hey, Layton.Copy !req
1212. Hell of a job.Copy !req
1213. You boys really came through for us.Copy !req
1214. There's Daddy!Copy !req
1215. Come here, baby.Copy !req
1216. - Hey.
- Daddy! Daddy!Copy !req
1217. Hey, sweetie.Copy !req
1218. Oh, thank God.Copy !req
1219. What happened?Copy !req
1220. Apparently, I inhaled caustic soda.Copy !req
1221. - What does that mean?
- My lungs are shot.Copy !req
1222. The Navy's never gonna let me fly again.Copy !req
1223. Well, get good at something else.Copy !req
1224. You have the rest of your life
to figure it out.Copy !req
1225. Oh.Copy !req
