AW 3 Marty Padanski.
Copy !req
4. Mr. Lasky? I'm Richard Tideman's
executive assistant.
Copy !req
5. - Glad to know ya. Are you going with me?
- No.
Copy !req
6. Mr. Tideman just wanted
to see you off.
Copy !req
7. - Is that him in the car?
- Yes.
Copy !req
8. Well, we've never met.
Can / introduce myself?
Copy !req
9. It isn't necessary,
Mr. Lasky.
Copy !req
10. As I said,
he came to see you off
Copy !req
11. Well, thank him for me.
Copy !req
12. Mr. Lasky.
Copy !req
13. Take a look, sir.
Copy !req
14. Arizona Memorial.
Copy !req
15. She's now resting in 33 feet of water
in an upright position.
Copy !req
16. There were only 289 survivors.
Copy !req
17. Russian trawler.
Copy !req
18. What's it doing?
Copy !req
19. Not doing
much fishing!
Copy !req
20. - I'll take it, sir.
- Mr. Lasky, I'm Commander Dan Thurman, executive officer.
Copy !req
21. - Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
22. Now follow me
to the Bridge.
Copy !req
23. Stand clear, spot 3.
Copy !req
24. Helo-733, rotating.
Copy !req
25. - Give me 25 knots of wind over the deck.
- Aye, Captain.
Copy !req
26. - All ahead full.
- All ahead full, aye.
Copy !req
27. - Indicate 100 RPM.
- Indicate 100 RPM. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
28. Central Bridge,
all ahead full, 100 RPM.
Copy !req
29. - Continue fixed wing recovery.
- Aye, Captain.
Copy !req
30. Let's bring the Kag aboard.
Copy !req
31. Victor-200,
your signal is Charlie.
Copy !req
32. - Set 52, Tomcat.
- Set 52, Tomcat.
Copy !req
33. T-minus 30 seconds.
Copy !req
34. Tomcat 200.
I'm on approach and lining up.
Copy !req
35. Gear coming down.
Copy !req
36. 200, slightly right.
Copy !req
37. Gear down and locked.
Copy !req
38. Add power. Power.
Copy !req
39. All indicators green.
Copy !req
40. Hold there.
Copy !req
41. Hold it. Slightly left
Copy !req
42. In the groove. Looks good.
Copy !req
43. In the port, Cat 1. Get below.
We still have aircraft to land.
Copy !req
44. I hear you're on assignment from Tideman
Industries to the Defense Department, right?
Copy !req
45. - Yeah, that's right.
- What is your job, Mr. Lasky?
Copy !req
46. - I'm a systems analyst.
- Oh, efficiency expert, right?
Copy !req
47. Yeah, you could say that.
Copy !req
48. - That's a quick change in the weather.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
49. Sure is.
Copy !req
50. - Hi, Kag.
- It's getting a little strange out there, boys.
Copy !req
51. - Welcome aboard, Mr. Lasky.
- Thank you, Captain.
Copy !req
52. - Are we headed for a squall?
- Not an official one.
Copy !req
53. Sir, this is Commander Damon,
operations officer.
Copy !req
54. - How do you do, Mr. Lasky?
- Fine, thank you.
Copy !req
55. And Lieutenant Perry,
officer of the deck.
Copy !req
56. - How do you do, sir?
- Good, sir.
Copy !req
57. Mr. Lasky is going to be taking a look at how
we do things here aboard the Nimitz.
Copy !req
58. - We'll give you whatever help we can, sir.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
59. Our departure
was delayed two days...
Copy !req
60. - at the request of your mysterious boss.
- I'm sorry about that, Captain,
Copy !req
61. but I'm afraid Mr. Richard Tideman
is as much a mystery to me...
Copy !req
62. - as he is to the rest of the world.
- Two days.
Copy !req
63. Perhaps the fact that Tideman
helped design and build this ship...
Copy !req
64. affords him some
special privileges.
Copy !req
65. - Corporal Kullman will escort you while you're aboard ship.
- Right this way, sir.
Copy !req
66. - Oh, Mr. Lasky?
- Sir?
Copy !req
67. I'd be delighted if
you'd join me for dinner.
Copy !req
68. Thank you, Captain.
I'd like that.
Copy !req
69. Am I mistaken, or was Black Cloud's
forecast this morning...
Copy !req
70. - for clear skies and sunshine?
- I'll bet he wishes it wasn't, sir.
Copy !req
71. Hand me that weather report,
please.
Copy !req
72. Thank you.
Copy !req
73. - Sir?
- Hmm?
Copy !req
74. What do you think it is?
Copy !req
75. It wasn't there
on the morning run.
Copy !req
76. Check all projection lenses,
and if it's not there, check all receivers.
Copy !req
77. Aye, aye, sir.
Copy !req
78. The Nimitz. Who's that?
Copy !req
79. - A Russian trawler.
- What's he want?
Copy !req
80. A big fish!
Copy !req
81. You've been assigned
Navigator's inport cabin, sir.
Copy !req
82. Connects with Commander Owens,
our air wing commander.
Copy !req
83. Your luggage has
been delivered, sir.
Copy !req
84. - I'll be just outside, sir, if there's anything you need.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
85. Hello?
Copy !req
86. "Pacific At War,
Commander Richard T. Owens."
Copy !req
87. Very well.
Copy !req
88. - Captain?
- Hmm?
Copy !req
89. We're having communication problems
with the incoming flights.
Copy !req
90. - What do you mean?
- It's interference from the storm, sir.
Copy !req
91. - Get Black Cloud up here.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
92. Sunshine and clear skies.
Copy !req
93. - Anything else you'd like to see?
- I beg your pardon.
Copy !req
94. What the hell are you
doing in my cabin?
Copy !req
95. I'm terribly sorry. You're Commander Owens.
I'm Warren Lasky.
Copy !req
96. - They put me next door.
- Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Copy !req
97. Mr. Lasky, the one thing
we cherish aboard a ship is privacy.
Copy !req
98. Maybe it's because we get
so damn little of it.
Copy !req
99. I understand.
I hope you'll forgive me.
Copy !req
100. You know, from what I've read, your
manuscript is very good; I mean, really very good.
Copy !req
101. Thank you. You a historian,
Mr. Lasky?
Copy !req
102. I'm a little bit of everything, I guess.
I work for Tideman Industries.
Copy !req
103. What exactly is your job
aboard this ship?
Copy !req
104. Very simply, I look at the way you people do
things, and if I can think of any alternatives,
Copy !req
105. I write it up and submit a report
to the Department of Defense.
Copy !req
106. Think you'll find some?
Copy !req
107. Well, there are always
alternatives, Commander.
Copy !req
108. Mr. Lasky, please don't
look for them in here.
Copy !req
109. Excuse me.
Copy !req
110. Boss, Kag's here.
Copy !req
111. - Hi, Dick.
- George, any further word from Stanton?
Copy !req
112. We know he's inbound, but we can't
talk to him. His radios are garbled.
Copy !req
113. Just wish he had more experience.
Copy !req
114. Yes, Captain.
Yes, sir. He's right here.
Copy !req
115. - Kag?
- Yes, Skipper?
Copy !req
116. - How many planes have you got in the air?
- Just one, sir.
Copy !req
117. - Our newest pilot, Stanton.
- Well, get him aboard as fast as you can.
Copy !req
118. - I want to get out of this weather.
- Right away, Skipper.
Copy !req
119. - He wants him down now. Keep trying.
- Corsair, 412.
Copy !req
120. Air Ops Primary, try again on 412.
See if you can reach him.
Copy !req
121. - Sir.
- Black Cloud, you've been doing unauthorized rain dances again.
Copy !req
122. Take a look
at the scope, sir.
Copy !req
123. The water temperature's
down five degrees,
Copy !req
124. and even the barometer's
giving improper readings.
Copy !req
125. It should be down,
and it's way up.
Copy !req
126. - What the hell is that?
- It seems to have a cycle, sir.
Copy !req
127. One run it's there,
the next one is clear.
Copy !req
128. One run it's there, the next one is clear.
I've never seen anything like it.
Copy !req
129. Turn those destroyers around
and head them back to Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
130. - No need for them to go through this.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
131. Keep it in the wind till we get that Corsair
aboard. It's one of our new pilots.
Copy !req
132. All units in Romeo Alpha,
this is Kilo Bravo.
Copy !req
133. This is 412. I have an unsafe
hook indicator. Over.
Copy !req
134. 412, roger. Unsafe hook.
Recycle your hook.
Copy !req
135. Negative.
I've tried that
Copy !req
136. 412, your transmission's poor.
Say your fuel's state.
Copy !req
137. Captain Boss, that Corsair's in real trouble.
Can't get his tail hook down.
Copy !req
138. - I think we better take him in the barricade.
- Rig it!
Copy !req
139. Air Ops, tri-flight.
On the flight deck!
Copy !req
140. We have an A-7 Corsair in trouble.
Can't get his hook down.
Copy !req
141. This is not a drill.
Copy !req
142. Repeat, this is not a drill.
Now rig the barricade!
Copy !req
143. Bow deck! Bow deck!
This is no drill!
Copy !req
144. All right! Let's go!
Copy !req
145. Go on! Let's hustle now!
Copy !req
146. All personnel
off the deck now!
Copy !req
147. Barricade coming up.
Clear the area/'
Copy !req
148. Clear the flight deck!
Copy !req
149. - Do you see him out there yet?
- Yeah, there he is!
Copy !req
150. Head's up! Green deck,
land aircraft.
Copy !req
151. My God. Look at that.
Copy !req
152. - Have Central come up on the J.A.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
153. - Steady as she goes.
- Steady as she goes, aye.
Copy !req
154. Central Bridge,
pick up the J.A.
Copy !req
155. - Aye, sir.
- Where's that plane?
Copy !req
156. I don't see it, Captain.
Copy !req
157. Sound general quarters.
Copy !req
158. - Aye, Captain. Boatswain.
- Boatswain mate. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
159. - Sound general quarters.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
160. General quarters, general quarters.
Copy !req
161. All hands,
man your battle stations.
Copy !req
162. Go up and forward on your starboard side,
down and aft on your port side.
Copy !req
163. General quarters,
general quarters.
Copy !req
164. Time plus two minutes.
Copy !req
165. - What the hell's goin' on?
- General quarters, sir. Come with me.
Copy !req
166. Time plus three minutes.
Copy !req
167. Time plus four.
Copy !req
168. - Report when all stations are manned and ready.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
169. Got him right there!
Comin' in! A-7 Corsair?
Copy !req
170. Heads up on deck!
He's in bound to the barricade.
Copy !req
171. Green jackets
to the barricade.
Copy !req
172. We can't hear you.
Copy !req
173. All right.
Copy !req
174. Crash on deck! Crash on deck!
All personnel respond now!
Copy !req
175. Let's get out there
and watch for fire!
Copy !req
176. Red shirts, front and center!
Move it move it!
Copy !req
177. Move it!
Copy !req
178. - Go back to course 350.
- Aye, aye, sir.
Copy !req
179. Okay! Take 'er down!
Copy !req
180. All personnel on the Flight Deck,
let's turn to.
Copy !req
181. Blue shirts, locks and chains
on the aircraft
Copy !req
182. Is this the last known position
of our destroyers before the storm?
Copy !req
183. - Yes, sir, Captain.
- Skipper.
Copy !req
184. Dan, go down and check out
the Threat Board.
Copy !req
185. - Keep me posted.
- Right.
Copy !req
186. - Get Kag up here.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
187. I want to talk
to CINPAC Fleet.
Copy !req
188. Captain, we're down across the board.
Antennas check out, but we're off the air.
Copy !req
189. - Any word from our destroyers?
- We aren't getting anything,
Copy !req
190. except some code transmissions
in the 200-meter band.
Copy !req
191. Otherwise, we're dead
as a doornail.
Copy !req
192. - Ops, what's our radar picture?
- Radar shows us clear, sir.
Copy !req
193. Clear? Can't you see
that Russian trawler?
Copy !req
194. I have the signal officer on deck,
but no visual sighting, sir.
Copy !req
195. Keep me advised.
Navigator, what's our posi?
Copy !req
196. 270, Captain.
280 miles west of Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
197. Oh, Dick. Launch a Hawkeye to check
ship's communications,
Copy !req
198. a Crusader to make a photo run over Pearl
and put two Tomcats on ready alert.
Copy !req
199. - Aye, aye, sir.
- Captain! Captain!
Copy !req
200. Hey, what happened?
Copy !req
201. Frankly, I don't know.
Copy !req
202. Lieutenant, have the heads
of all departments...
Copy !req
203. - meet me at C.V.I.C. immediately after the launch.
- Aye, aye, sir.
Copy !req
204. - Mr. Lasky, I want you to stay with me.
- Captain's off the Bridge.
Copy !req
205. It's a code.
Copy !req
206. Can you break it,
Chief?
Copy !req
207. - I think someone's putting us on.
- Why?
Copy !req
208. Because I learned this code
at Great Lakes. It's ancient.
Copy !req
209. Thanks, Chief.
Copy !req
210. Stand clear at 012.
Hawkeye rotating.
Copy !req
211. Off the bow, stand clear.
Copy !req
212. 736 lifting for plane guard.
Copy !req
213. Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!
Copy !req
214. - Go hold your own!
- Who said that?
Copy !req
215. Chrissakes, Chief, all we want to know
is what's going on.
Copy !req
216. - Whatever it is, you'll be told.
- When?
Copy !req
217. - As soon as the skipper's ready.
- That's what they always say!
Copy !req
218. Hey, Ex-O, what's goin' on?
Attention on deck!
Copy !req
219. Carry on.
Copy !req
220. Gentlemen, we're at general quarters,
because I don't have any idea what's happened.
Copy !req
221. But I don't exclude
the possibility of war.
Copy !req
222. - A nuclear strike?
- Possibility.
Copy !req
223. - Now, what action's been taken?
- Well, Skipper,
Copy !req
224. there's nothing on the Threat Board, and
there's been no significant damage to the ship.
Copy !req
225. - The crew's in good shape.
- Air wing is intact. First team's ready to go.
Copy !req
226. E-2 is now showing the area clear,
and reconnaissance aircraft...
Copy !req
227. - should be coming up on Pearl any moment, sir.
- George.
Copy !req
228. The reactor is stable.
All readings are normal.
Copy !req
229. Capable for maximum speed,
Captain.
Copy !req
230. - Lloyd.
- We can transmit and receive,
Copy !req
231. - but we haven't been able to reach anybody.
- Why's that?
Copy !req
232. Tried everybody in the book... CINPAC, Joint
Chiefs... I even took a crack at the White House.
Copy !req
233. Now, we do have some low-band transmissions-
strictly manual stuff with very low power.
Copy !req
234. - We'll have to do some retuning to transmit in that range.
- Get on with it!
Copy !req
235. - Ops?
- All radar's up, all weapon systems check out.
Copy !req
236. - We're ready, sir.
- Mr. Lasky. You have anything to add?
Copy !req
237. I have a reconnaissance report
coming in now, sir.
Copy !req
238. I have a reconnaissance report
coming in now, sir.
Copy !req
239. Flight level 250.
Camera rolling.
Copy !req
240. There doesn't appear to be any damage.
Seems to be some unusual shipping traffic.
Copy !req
241. I'll make another pass
for a close-up series.
Copy !req
242. - Over.
- ETA to Nimitz, 12 minutes, sir.
Copy !req
243. Skipper, we're picking up some weird traffic
on the A.M. broadcast band...
Copy !req
244. on the entertainment circuit,
but the signal strength is very weak.
Copy !req
245. Boss, I told you. I tried and tried,
and I can't get Carmichael to go to sleep.
Copy !req
246. Rochester, that polar bear's
got to go to sleep.
Copy !req
247. - He's supposed to have been in hibernation over 10 days ago.
- Jack Benny?
Copy !req
248. - Uh-huh.
- Where is he now?
Copy !req
249. Sittin' up in bed, readin' Esquire.
Copy !req
250. Esquire? Well,
take it away from him.
Copy !req
251. Oh, come now, boss. He's been around.
Copy !req
252. Lloyd, tape and monitor
all transmissions.
Copy !req
253. Ops, I want a closer look on all air,
surface and subsurface contacts...
Copy !req
254. within 250 miles
of this ship.
Copy !req
255. Dick, put some tankers and a medium-sized
strike force on a 30-minute alert.
Copy !req
256. - Aye, aye, sir.
- Any questions?
Copy !req
257. Skipper, the ship is still at general quarters.
Request permission to go to condition 3.
Copy !req
258. Granted. I'll be on the Bridge.
I want answers.
Copy !req
259. Attention on deck!
Copy !req
260. Secure from general quarters.
Set condition 3.
Copy !req
261. - I stand relieved.
- Very well.
Copy !req
262. - Bridge.
- Captain's on the Bridge.
Copy !req
263. Captain, CIC reports a surface
contact bearing 350° at 130 miles.
Copy !req
264. - I want an I.D. on the surface contact.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
265. - Launch the ready alert.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
266. Which, translated into world terms,
Copy !req
267. means a worldwide reduction
of armaments...
Copy !req
268. to such a point
and in such a thorough fashion,
Copy !req
269. that no nation
will be in a position...
Copy !req
270. to commit an act
of physical aggression...
Copy !req
271. against any neighbor anywhere...
Copy !req
272. In the world.
Copy !req
273. What the hell's the matter with him? He's asking
us to trust our enemies, and he knows better.
Copy !req
274. You're absolutely right.
Copy !req
275. Hey, Laurel,
you finished that very quickly.
Copy !req
276. Well, I hope so.
Let's see, where were we? Uhh...
Copy !req
277. "And there," oops.
"And therefore," ah, here we are.
Copy !req
278. "So if he does choose
to support my program,
Copy !req
279. "let Senator Chapman
be assured now...
Copy !req
280. "that I am fully aware
of those qualities in him...
Copy !req
281. which recommend him
as cabinet material."
Copy !req
282. I think that says it exactly.
You agree, Arthur?
Copy !req
283. - Miss Scott, you should've been a diplomat.
- I rather thought I was.
Copy !req
284. Well, you certainly cooked up
a compromise that's gonna make your boss...
Copy !req
285. the next vice president
of the United States.
Copy !req
286. I better type this up before you two start
trying to improve on it.
Copy !req
287. - Thanks, Laurel
- Here in downtown Honolulu...
Copy !req
288. the weather is 78°
under partly cloudy skies.
Copy !req
289. Arthur, will you leave the girl enough clothes
on not to catch cold? She's too valuable to me.
Copy !req
290. - Have you slept with her yet?
- What kind of a question is that to ask a married man?
Copy !req
291. - You son of a gun!
- Think I better go check what she's doin'.
Copy !req
292. - Oh, sure!
- Arthur, have another drink,
Copy !req
293. and stop thinking about how
much everybody else is gettin'.
Copy !req
294. - Thanks!
- See you later.
Copy !req
295. We swung it, Laurel. How about that?
We really swung it!
Copy !req
296. - Did you tell him you were sleeping with me?
- What?
Copy !req
297. Laurel.
I wish I was.
Copy !req
298. - I'm not gonna lie about it.
- People assume you are anyway.
Copy !req
299. - I guess I'll just have to live with the fact.
- Fact?
Copy !req
300. Of what they think.
Copy !req
301. You're a strange girl,
Laurel.
Copy !req
302. You give more back talk and less cooperation
than any girl on Capitol Hill.
Copy !req
303. I don't know why I put up with you and your
dog. I don't know why I just don't fire you.
Copy !req
304. Because I'm the best
political assistant you'll find,
Copy !req
305. and you're still more interested
in politics than sex.
Copy !req
306. Charlie!
Copy !req
307. What is he barking at?
Copy !req
308. Charlie, what is it?
Copy !req
309. Shh. Listen.
Copy !req
310. They had U.S. markings.
Copy !req
311. - You sure of that?
- I thought so too.
Copy !req
312. Their speed!
Are they ours?
Copy !req
313. I don't know. But if they are ours,
they've kept them a close secret.
Copy !req
314. - I want inquiries made as soon as we return.
- Yes, Senator.
Copy !req
315. Bridge.
Copy !req
316. Skipper, the F-14s
are on top of the contact.
Copy !req
317. Alert 1, this is Eagle 1.
What have you got?
Copy !req
318. We've overflown
the craft, sir.
Copy !req
319. It's a civilian yacht,
flying U.S. flag,
Copy !req
320. about 50 feet in length,
old but in mint condition.
Copy !req
321. - Over.
- Hold observation position.
Copy !req
322. Dispatching 86 tanker
for refueling.
Copy !req
323. Stand clear, Path 1.
Copy !req
324. 86 tanker departing.
Copy !req
325. The challenger's back
with one, two, three jabs to the mouth.
Copy !req
326. Louis responds with a right to the head.
Cuts with a left to the body.
Copy !req
327. - Brings it up to the head.
- Hey, who's that fighting?
Copy !req
328. - Louis takes another left and a right to the head.
- I don't know.
Copy !req
329. Louis is staggered by a right to the jaw.
He almost goes down.
Copy !req
330. There's the bell ending round 12.
Copy !req
331. Look sharp, feel sharp.
Copy !req
332. You're better off...
Copy !req
333. Let's get some air.
Copy !req
334. Captain's off the Bridge.
Copy !req
335. I don't know.
Copy !req
336. Dan, what's this all about?
What do you make of it?
Copy !req
337. Nostalgia broadcasting
on the Armed Forces band.
Copy !req
338. Broadcasting
after a strike? Nah.
Copy !req
339. Excuse me.
Copy !req
340. - Captain?
- Yes?
Copy !req
341. Sir, is it possible that this could be part
of some secret naval maneuver?
Copy !req
342. - Course not.
- There are a few people...
Copy !req
343. - who'd like to watch us work under pressure.
- What are you saying, Dan?
Copy !req
344. The Department of Defense sent him out here. Maybe
they wanted to give him something to watch.
Copy !req
345. Now, that makes more sense
than anything else so far.
Copy !req
346. Now, wait a minute, gentlemen.
You may be the victims of some kind of joke.
Copy !req
347. But whether the Pentagon's behind it or the
Kremlin or some little green men from Mars,
Copy !req
348. I promise you, I'm as much in the dark
about it as you are.
Copy !req
349. Captain, we're getting something
you might wanna hear.
Copy !req
350. - In the Plot Room.
- Aye, sir.
Copy !req
351. The Germans are retreating
on the 70-mile front in southern Russia.
Copy !req
352. However, forces were reported
200 miles from Moscow,
Copy !req
353. and long-range artillery fire
was heard in the suburbs of Moscow.
Copy !req
354. - Meanwhile in Washington-
- What the hell's going on here?
Copy !req
355. Sir, I think you ought to see these aerial
reconnaissance photographs of Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
356. - Turn that off!
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
357. That'll be all.
Copy !req
358. You.
Copy !req
359. - It's not Pearl Harbor.
- Sure as hell is.
Copy !req
360. Look at that old battle rig.
Copy !req
361. It's a memorial now.
It's the Arizona.
Copy !req
362. - But she's completely intact.
- That's right.
Copy !req
363. - Get Mr. Lasky back up here.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
364. What's the matter
with you?
Copy !req
365. I was just on the Bridge.
They're scared. Real scared.
Copy !req
366. - What happened?
- It's crazy.
Copy !req
367. The Russians, us,
even the Germans.
Copy !req
368. - We've finally done it.
- Done what, for Christ's sake?
Copy !req
369. - War. We're at war.
- You always talkin' shit.
Copy !req
370. Mr. Lasky,
Copy !req
371. I want a straight answer,
Copy !req
372. and I don't give a damn about any orders
you've had elsewhere.
Copy !req
373. Is there something
you've held back?
Copy !req
374. Nothing.
Absolutely nothing, Captain.
Copy !req
375. All right.
I accept that.
Copy !req
376. Here's a photo taken by our reconnaissance
pilots less than an hour ago.
Copy !req
377. - May I suggest something, Captain?
- I'm wide open.
Copy !req
378. I suggest that you ask Commander Owens
to come up here right away...
Copy !req
379. - and bring the photos he's using to illustrate his book.
- Why?
Copy !req
380. - I think he'll have something very interesting to show you.
- All right.
Copy !req
381. Tanker, this is Alert 1. You got two
thirsty Tomcats. Whaddya got?
Copy !req
382. I've got the hard stuff.
Pull right in.
Copy !req
383. Mmm, contact.
Copy !req
384. We've got a green light. Fill 'er up, check
the oil and clean the windshield. Over.
Copy !req
385. Dick, where'd you get these?
Copy !req
386. I got them from the Smithsonian, sir.
They're old agency photos of Pearl.
Copy !req
387. - Just like these.
- Not like these.
Copy !req
388. That one was taken
less than an hour ago.
Copy !req
389. I don't understand, sir.
These are pre-World War II pictures.
Copy !req
390. This is the fleet
that was destroyed.
Copy !req
391. Sir, CIC reports two bogeys at low altitude.
Distance, 125 miles.
Copy !req
392. - Have our fighters take an I.D. pass.
- Aye, Captain.
Copy !req
393. Have our fighters investigate and identify
the contact 090, signal Buster.
Copy !req
394. Aye, sir. Alert 1,
this is Eagle Control.
Copy !req
395. Vector 210 for the bogeys.
Bogeys low and slow.
Copy !req
396. Your signal is Buster. I say again,
your signal is Buster.
Copy !req
397. Roger, Eagle Control. Alert 2
now completing its fueling.
Copy !req
398. Vectoring 210. Out.
Copy !req
399. That's the Arizona,
Tennessee, West Virginia.
Copy !req
400. You're saying...
Copy !req
401. that these are both photographs
of Pearl Harbor...
Copy !req
402. on December 6, 1941?
Copy !req
403. Hmm?
Copy !req
404. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
405. Our reconnaissance plane has just taken
pictures of something that hasn't existed...
Copy !req
406. for over 40 years.
Copy !req
407. Sir, we've got I.D.
on the bogeys.
Copy !req
408. - Captain's on the Bridge.
- What button?
Copy !req
409. Eleven, sir.
Copy !req
410. Alert 1, this is Eagle 1.
What have you got?
Copy !req
411. - Two Japanese Zeros, Sir.
- Two what?
Copy !req
412. Two trophy-class Mitsubishi
A6Ms in original condition,
Copy !req
413. complete with all markings.
Copy !req
414. - I mean, they look brand new, sir.
- Have you been spotted?
Copy !req
415. Negative. We're right
on the side at 6:00 high.
Copy !req
416. Stay in visual contact.
Take no action without clearance.
Copy !req
417. Wilco, Eagle 1. Out.
Copy !req
418. - Jack Benny and Rochester.
- And newscasts from World War II.
Copy !req
419. Somebody
for some reason...
Copy !req
420. wants us to believe
that we're back in 1941.
Copy !req
421. - Now, who wants it?
- The Russians.
Copy !req
422. - Oh, Dan.
- Maybe. Power of psychology.
Copy !req
423. Excuse me, Captain,
Copy !req
424. but we also have to consider
one alternative possibility.
Copy !req
425. - What's that?
- The possibility that what's happening here is real.
Copy !req
426. - Geez, that's ridiculous.
- Maybe, but we have some pretty strong evidence, sir.
Copy !req
427. Let's not just write off one
possible explanation for it...
Copy !req
428. - because we don't happen to like it.
- How would that be possible?
Copy !req
429. - Could you explain that to me?
- No, sir, I can't.
Copy !req
430. But all of us know that movement
through time is possible. Einstein proved it,
Copy !req
431. - In theory.
- In theory.
Copy !req
432. So all we have to do is move through
some storm at sea, and bingo-
Copy !req
433. we're all much more
clever than Einstein.
Copy !req
434. What sort of storm was that, Commander?
Certainly nothing like I've ever seen.
Copy !req
435. Nothing like any of us
have ever seen.
Copy !req
436. There are forces in the universe which we're
only now just beginning to understand.
Copy !req
437. I mean, understand through science,
not superstition.
Copy !req
438. There are black holes in space,
antimatter, curved space-
Copy !req
439. things that are as strange to us as electricity
would have been to people in the Middle Ages,
Copy !req
440. or this ship in World War II.
Copy !req
441. Well, crew is anxious
for an explanation too.
Copy !req
442. Now, we've gotta get
a clearer picture of all this.
Copy !req
443. Let's go to CIC.
Copy !req
444. Hey.
Copy !req
445. - What is it?
- Listen. - What is it?
Copy !req
446. It's those planes again.
Copy !req
447. No, no.
Different noise entirely.
Copy !req
448. There they are.
Copy !req
449. - They're not ours, are they?
- No, certainly not.
Copy !req
450. They have Japanese markings.
Copy !req
451. They're comin' in again.
Copy !req
452. Laurel, ask the captain
to radio Hawaii.
Copy !req
453. Find out about Japanese
fighter planes in the area.
Copy !req
454. Yes, Senator.
Copy !req
455. Oh, God! They're shooting!
Copy !req
456. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
457. - Oh, no.
- The captain send the message?
Copy !req
458. We've gotta
get off this boat.
Copy !req
459. Come on, Laurel!
Copy !req
460. Eagle Control, this is Alert 1.
Copy !req
461. They just strafed the hell
out of that yacht!
Copy !req
462. Why would they
attack a yacht?
Copy !req
463. Their job would be to destroy anything with
a radio that could warn Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
464. Providing you and Mr. Einstein
are correct.
Copy !req
465. Dick, where would the Japanese fleet be
at this time on December 6, 1941?
Copy !req
466. Well, sir, they'd be off the scope, but an
educated guess would be around about here.
Copy !req
467. Excuse me. They'd have to be here,
up around the northwest sector.
Copy !req
468. Let's get this settled once and for all.
Have the E-2 check it out.
Copy !req
469. - I wanna see if the Japanese task force is out there.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
470. Eagle Control, Alert 1.
They're making another run.
Copy !req
471. Jesus! They'll shoot that damn yacht to pieces!
Request permission to arm and fire.
Copy !req
472. - For God sakes, Skipper...
- Negative.
Copy !req
473. - Charlie? Charlie!
- No, Laurel! Not now!
Copy !req
474. Come on! Those planes
are coming in! Come on!
Copy !req
475. Let's go! Come on, Harvey!
Copy !req
476. Eagle Control, they blew it to bits.
They must've hit the fuel tank!
Copy !req
477. - Any survivors?
- Stand by.
Copy !req
478. Affirmative.
One, two, three Mae Wests!
Copy !req
479. Hey, wait a minute!
Those bastards are turning back!
Copy !req
480. They're gonna strafe them in the water!
Request permission to fire.
Copy !req
481. This is Eagle 1. You are cleared to arm,
but do not fire.
Copy !req
482. Throw them off,
play with them, but don't fire.
Copy !req
483. Affirmative.
Copy !req
484. - Sam! Sam.
- All right. It's all right. I'm all right.
Copy !req
485. Look up!
Copy !req
486. Oh, no!
They're coming again!
Copy !req
487. Harvey! Get that life preserver
off and dive!
Copy !req
488. I can't swim!
Copy !req
489. Here they come!
Copy !req
490. Harvey!
Copy !req
491. Harvey!
Copy !req
492. - Harvey!
- He's dead.
Copy !req
493. It's okay. Easy, boy.
Up you go.
Copy !req
494. Hey, Fox, that woke 'em up!
Copy !req
495. I think we should
give 'em another shot.
Copy !req
496. Why the hell are we
playing with these guys?
Copy !req
497. Radar shows enemy planes
heading on course, 220.
Copy !req
498. - 220.
- Sweet Jesus.
Copy !req
499. Skipper, they're headed
straight for us,
Copy !req
500. and we've got an armed strike force
just sitting on the deck.
Copy !req
501. Alert 1, this is Eagle 1.
You're cleared to fire.
Copy !req
502. Splash the Zeros.
I say again, splash the Zeros.
Copy !req
503. - Yes, sir.
- This has gotta be a dream.
Copy !req
504. Eagle Control, Alert 1.
Copy !req
505. Splash two. Repeat.
Copy !req
506. Splash two.
Copy !req
507. Possibly one survivor
in the water.
Copy !req
508. Captain, the E-2
is coming upon Point Charlie.
Copy !req
509. Eagle Control, we have
multiple radar contacts...
Copy !req
510. picking up on 456 heading.
Copy !req
511. Possible carriers
and 24 escort ships.
Copy !req
512. Southeasterly heading.
Copy !req
513. Negative radio
of radar emissions.
Copy !req
514. Request instructions,
Over.
Copy !req
515. That is the Japanese
attack force.
Copy !req
516. Yeah. I guess
now we know.
Copy !req
517. Look, Dick. Take personal charge
of a rescue team...
Copy !req
518. and keep the survivors
isolated.
Copy !req
519. - Crazy situation.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
520. - You know what I want.
- I understand.
Copy !req
521. - Keep the fighters airborne to cover the rescue.
- Aye, aye, Skipper.
Copy !req
522. Now track and report all movements
of the Japanese task force.
Copy !req
523. - Aye, aye, Sir.
- Do you still think it's a dream?
Copy !req
524. It's a nightmare.
Copy !req
525. Let go!
Forget the damn dog!
Copy !req
526. - Boss, 36.
- Go ahead, 36.
Copy !req
527. We got two survivors and now
we're waiting to pick up Kag.
Copy !req
528. - Kag? What the hell is he doing in the water?
- Damned if I know.
Copy !req
529. Charlie!
Copy !req
530. You all right,
ma'am?
Copy !req
531. How you feeling, sir?
Copy !req
532. What the hell kind of machine is this thing?
And what's your ship, Commander?
Copy !req
533. It's an aircraft carrier, sir. I'm Air Wing
Commander Richard Owens.
Copy !req
534. - Sam Chapman.
- Senator Samuel Chapman?
Copy !req
535. That's right.
Copy !req
536. Sure am glad
you were out here.
Copy !req
537. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
538. Okay, Senator,
watch yourself.
Copy !req
539. Watch your head.
Copy !req
540. - All right, take it easy.
- Hang on to me, sir.
Copy !req
541. You'll be just fine.
Copy !req
542. It's all right, ma'am.
Go with him.
Copy !req
543. I'll take the dog,
Commander.
Copy !req
544. Little bastard.
Copy !req
545. Corporal!
Copy !req
546. Mind the store, Ray.
I'm going forward.
Copy !req
547. - Holy cow.
- It's the whole Japanese fleet.
Copy !req
548. Have these things returned to the Japanese
pilot. Get this translated.
Copy !req
549. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
550. Captain's on the Bridge.
Copy !req
551. Mr. Lasky.
Gentlemen.
Copy !req
552. Captain's off the Bridge.
Copy !req
553. We can't ignore it any longer.
Copy !req
554. Every man on this ship knows that
we have radar and visual contact...
Copy !req
555. with a Japanese fleet
approaching Pearl Harbor...
Copy !req
556. on December 6, 1941.
Copy !req
557. - Now, what do we do about it?
- Skipper,
Copy !req
558. what we do about it
is blow them out of the water.
Copy !req
559. The USS Nimitz declares war
on the Japanese empire?
Copy !req
560. That's what we'd be doing.
But they haven't attacked Pearl Harbor yet.
Copy !req
561. The only evidence we have that they
intend to is in the history books.
Copy !req
562. It opens up some
amazing possibilities.
Copy !req
563. Think of the firepower of the USS
Nimitz back in 1941.
Copy !req
564. What kind of possibilities,
Mr. Lasky?
Copy !req
565. Possibilities for the future,
Mr. Owens.
Copy !req
566. Think of the history
of the next 40 years.
Copy !req
567. I have a suspicion history will be
a little more difficult to beat...
Copy !req
568. than you imagine,
Mr. Lasky.
Copy !req
569. I'm talking about
the classic paradox of time.
Copy !req
570. Imagine, for example, I go back in time
to meet my own grandfather,
Copy !req
571. long before he got married,
before he had children.
Copy !req
572. We have an argument,
and I kill him.
Copy !req
573. Now, if that happens,
how am I ever gonna be born?
Copy !req
574. And if I can never be born,
how can I go back in history...
Copy !req
575. and meet
my very own grandfather?
Copy !req
576. I'm not half the theorist
you are, Mr. Lasky,
Copy !req
577. but I still have a gut instinct
that things only happen once.
Copy !req
578. And if they have happened, then there's
nothing we can do to change them,
Copy !req
579. - nor should we try.
- How are you gonna avoid it?
Copy !req
580. It's already happening,
and we're already involved.
Copy !req
581. For Christ's sake, what is this?
Some half-ass Princeton debating society?
Copy !req
582. We are in a war situation.
Copy !req
583. This is a United States
warship,
Copy !req
584. or at least
it used to be.
Copy !req
585. Or will be.
Or what the hell ever.
Copy !req
586. Oh, goddamn it, you can drive yourself
crazy trying to think about this stuff.
Copy !req
587. - Jesus, I must be dreaming!
- Now, hold it.
Copy !req
588. All right.
Let's all calm down.
Copy !req
589. Let's take it one step at a time
and by the book.
Copy !req
590. If the United States of America
falls under attack,
Copy !req
591. our job
is to defend her,
Copy !req
592. in the past, present
or future.
Copy !req
593. - And after that?
- After that, we take our orders...
Copy !req
594. from the commander in chief
of the United States Armed Forces.
Copy !req
595. Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Copy !req
596. - Everything all right here?
- You in command of this ship?
Copy !req
597. Oh, hardly. No, I'm a doctor.
Ship's commander is Captain Yelland.
Copy !req
598. I'm sure he'll be down to see you
as soon as possible.
Copy !req
599. - I certainly hope so.
- Meanwhile, you both seem...
Copy !req
600. - none the worse for your little mishap.
- Mishap?
Copy !req
601. You call getting a boat shot out from under
you and three people dead a mishap?
Copy !req
602. - Are we at war? Is that what happened?
- I'm not in a position to..
Copy !req
603. Yes?
Copy !req
604. Charlie. Charlie! Oh, Charlie.
Copy !req
605. Am I glad to see you.
Copy !req
606. Doctor,
Copy !req
607. would you please inform the captain
that Senator Samuel Chapman,
Copy !req
608. cochairman of the Senate Defense Committee,
would like to see him at once?
Copy !req
609. Of course, Senator.
Copy !req
610. Doctor, I believe
I said at once.
Copy !req
611. First, a vitamin shot.
Now, if you'll both roll up your sleeves.
Copy !req
612. - Senator.
- No, goddamn it!
Copy !req
613. Now, you can take up
your needles, Doctor,
Copy !req
614. and whatever's in them
and get the hell out of here!
Copy !req
615. Corporal?
Copy !req
616. What the hell
are we, prisoners?
Copy !req
617. Holy shit.
Copy !req
618. Smoking lamp is lighted
in all authorized spaces.
Copy !req
619. Son of a...
Copy !req
620. So, history may be tougher
to beat than I imagined.
Copy !req
621. You're becoming a real pain
in the ass, Lasky.
Copy !req
622. You take an awful lot of risks for someone
who's supposed to be intelligent.
Copy !req
623. Do I? "The attack on Pearl Harbor was far
from a surprise for many people,
Copy !req
624. "among them, the prominent
and ambitious Samuel S. Chapman,
Copy !req
625. "who had only two weeks before publicly argued
for an increase in our strength in the Pacific.
Copy !req
626. "Ironically, the senator disappeared
and was presumed dead...
Copy !req
627. "following the attack
he had foreseen so clearly.
Copy !req
628. "Had he lived,
it's very possible...
Copy !req
629. "Chapman could have been Roosevelt's
running mate in the 1944 election...
Copy !req
630. and upon his death, the next president
of the United States."
Copy !req
631. Now if that doesn't come under the heading of
trying to beat history, I don't know what does.
Copy !req
632. Lasky, I realized who we had
the moment I heard his name.
Copy !req
633. - Why'd you keep it to yourself?
- I don't have your appetite for playing God with the world.
Copy !req
634. What was I supposed to do,
throw him back in the sea?
Copy !req
635. At least that would have preserved the natural
order of history as you've written it.
Copy !req
636. Go to hell, Lasky.
Copy !req
637. Go to hell yourself.
I wanna meet Chapman.
Copy !req
638. Goddamn it.
Copy !req
639. If this wasn't happening to me,
I wouldn't believe it.
Copy !req
640. - Who the hell are these people?
- The navy.
Copy !req
641. Yeah, the navy, yeah.
But what part of it?
Copy !req
642. I've never seen machines
like they got on board this thing.
Copy !req
643. And where have they been
developing aircraft like that?
Copy !req
644. The navy would have to
appear before my committee,
Copy !req
645. and I've never even heard
a whisper about it.
Copy !req
646. Rocket planes and that thing
they pulled us out of the sea with.
Copy !req
647. And naming this ship after Chester Nimitz,
an active-duty admiral.
Copy !req
648. What the hell's
going on here?
Copy !req
649. Yeah, Roosevelt.
He owns the military.
Copy !req
650. That's it.
Copy !req
651. That's exactly who.
Copy !req
652. F.D.R. has wanted the United States
in this war since it started,
Copy !req
653. but he knows there's no way it's gonna happen
except in response to an attack.
Copy !req
654. - You always said the Japanese would attack.
- That's right.
Copy !req
655. And who's sitting out here
with no press...
Copy !req
656. while the White House takes all the credit
for raising the alarm...
Copy !req
657. and being ready
to hit back?
Copy !req
658. - Obviously, we are.
- Goddamn it!
Copy !req
659. Anything?
Copy !req
660. Whoever he is, he's either too scared
or too well briefed to talk about it
Copy !req
661. Excuse me.
Copy !req
662. All right, Corporal.
Copy !req
663. Commander, I demand to know
why we're being held prisoners.
Copy !req
664. - Charlie!
- Here wait. I got him. Whoa!
Copy !req
665. Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
666. No, don't!
Copy !req
667. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
668. The prisoner has shot one,
maybe two of your men.
Copy !req
669. Move in!
Copy !req
670. Captain, prisoner
grabbed a weapon.
Copy !req
671. He shot one of my men,
maybe two.
Copy !req
672. We're in position.
The area is sealed off.
Copy !req
673. Stand by.
Copy !req
674. Get Lieutenant Kajima
up here on the double.
Copy !req
675. Can't we get a translator
down here, for God's sakes?
Copy !req
676. How the hell do we know what he's saying
if we can't understand him?
Copy !req
677. We need a translator
to tell him we need a translator.
Copy !req
678. Maybe that's just what
he's trying to tell us.
Copy !req
679. All right, Dick, Lieutenant Kajima is here.
Put it on the box.
Copy !req
680. Ask him what he wants.
Copy !req
681. He wants access
to a radio, sir.
Copy !req
682. Does he say why?
Copy !req
683. Because he wants to
warn his commander...
Copy !req
684. about us.
Copy !req
685. He repeats the demand.
Copy !req
686. - Or else?
- He will kill again.
Copy !req
687. Do you think there's a chance
they might believe him?
Copy !req
688. There's no chance
if things remain the way they are.
Copy !req
689. Tell him we agree.
Copy !req
690. - You son of a-
- No! Don't shoot! Back off!
Copy !req
691. Don't shoot!
Copy !req
692. Back off! Back off!
Don't shoot!
Copy !req
693. What the hell's going on down there?
Copy !req
694. He says one more attempt to trick him
and the girl is dead.
Copy !req
695. There'll be no tricks. He can use
the radio room if he frees the girl.
Copy !req
696. Says he doesn't believe you.
Copy !req
697. Why don't you tell him
what's going on here, Commander?
Copy !req
698. You're an expert on what's gonna happen
tomorrow, tell him about it, for God's sakes.
Copy !req
699. Go on, tell him!
We got nothing to lose!
Copy !req
700. - Dick?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
701. Go ahead, tell him.
Copy !req
702. 26 November, six carriers
left the Coral Isles north of Japan.
Copy !req
703. The carriers were
the Akagi, Kaga, Shokaku,
Copy !req
704. Zuikaku, Hiryu, Soryu.
Copy !req
705. Tomorrow at dawn,
these carriers will send 353 planes...
Copy !req
706. to attack Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
707. How in the hell
do you know all that?
Copy !req
708. Your code is
"Climb Mount Niitaka."
Copy !req
709. What's going on?
Copy !req
710. Please, Miss Scott,
don't ask me any questions.
Copy !req
711. There isn't anything
I can tell you at this time.
Copy !req
712. All right?
Copy !req
713. Where's Charlie?
Where's my dog?
Copy !req
714. We'll find him,
Miss Scott.
Copy !req
715. He can't get off
the ship.
Copy !req
716. Casualties will be moved
down to secondary triage.
Copy !req
717. I wanna get out of this bathrobe
and into some clothes!
Copy !req
718. Will somebody please get me some clothes?
For God's sakes!
Copy !req
719. - Chief, get the senator some clothes.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
720. Senator, Matt Yelland,
commanding officer.
Copy !req
721. Where and how did you get
all this information I've been hearing?
Copy !req
722. - And is it true?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
723. Did you inform
Pearl Harbor Command?
Copy !req
724. - No, Senator.
- Why the hell not?
Copy !req
725. Well, the reasons are a little complicated,
but, uh, believe me, Senator,
Copy !req
726. this carrier is capable of handling
any attack should it occur.
Copy !req
727. One carrier
against a whole fleet?
Copy !req
728. What kind of an idiot
do you take me for?
Copy !req
729. - Senator, calm down.
- The hell with you.
Copy !req
730. Tell Pearl Harbor what's happening here,
or I'll talk to them.
Copy !req
731. Very well.
Copy !req
732. Dan, set up the communications
in my inport cabin.
Copy !req
733. Wouldn't you like to talk to them
with some clothes on?
Copy !req
734. - Thank you, Captain.
- Follow me, sir.
Copy !req
735. - Are you all right?
- Yes, sir, I'm fine.
Copy !req
736. - Can you do that, Captain?
- Hmm?
Copy !req
737. Contact Pearl Harbor back in 1941.
Copy !req
738. I think so.
Copy !req
739. - Then what do you do?
- One step at a time.
Copy !req
740. Yeah. Like a minefield.
Copy !req
741. This is, uh, Senator Samuel S. Chapman
of the United States Senate,
Copy !req
742. on board
the aircraft carrier Nimitz,
Copy !req
743. Captain Yelland
is here with me.
Copy !req
744. - You're on what?
- I repeat.
Copy !req
745. I am Senator Samuel S. Chapman
on board the USS Nimitz.
Copy !req
746. All right,
whoever the hell you are,
Copy !req
747. use of military frequencies
by unauthorized personnel is a felony.
Copy !req
748. Now just a minute here, sir.
Copy !req
749. As we have no aircraft carrier Nimitz
and no Captain Yelland,
Copy !req
750. I suggest, asshole, that you stop impersonating
some other asshole and get off the air.
Copy !req
751. You're wasting our time.
Copy !req
752. How dare you talk to me that way!
Captain, tell him who you are.
Copy !req
753. Speak to them!
Copy !req
754. You, what are you doing here?
You're a civilian.
Copy !req
755. Yes, sir, I'm with the Department of Def-
I mean, the Navy Department.
Copy !req
756. That's more like it.
What's going on here?
Copy !req
757. I'm afraid I'm just
an observer here, sir.
Copy !req
758. I couldn't tell you anything more
than you already know.
Copy !req
759. What's happening here?
Copy !req
760. Who are you people?
Copy !req
761. Sir, when you're ready, the captain
requests you and Miss Scott...
Copy !req
762. - join him in his inport cabin.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
763. I'll wait outside
while you change.
Copy !req
764. Please, I really don't want to
be left alone right now.
Copy !req
765. I'll just be a minute.
Copy !req
766. Just exactly what is it you do
for the senator, Miss Scott?
Copy !req
767. I work for him, Commander.
Copy !req
768. I'd like to think
I'm more than just a secretary.
Copy !req
769. I write most of his speeches,
and in general, I'm his assistant.
Copy !req
770. It's quite an accomplishment for a woman
in your day... this day and age.
Copy !req
771. Let me tell you something.
I'm ambitious and very capable.
Copy !req
772. That's a combination
that's not much appreciated.
Copy !req
773. It's a man's world.
I'm sure you'll agree.
Copy !req
774. It certainly is, Miss Scott.
Copy !req
775. I spent a lot of time
trying to hide the way I look,
Copy !req
776. hoping to be recognized
for my ability.
Copy !req
777. - How's it going so far?
- Well, let me put it this way.
Copy !req
778. If the way I look gets me in the door,
then God help them when I get through.
Copy !req
779. You're a remarkable woman,
Miss Scott.
Copy !req
780. Shall we?
Copy !req
781. Yeah.
Copy !req
782. Enemy fleet bears 042 degrees.
Copy !req
783. Captain,
they bear 042 degrees,
Copy !req
784. range 182 miles,
course 180, speed 12.
Copy !req
785. Very well. Keep me advised.
Copy !req
786. 35 degrees, 17 miles north,
northwest of Pearl.
Copy !req
787. - Laurel, are you all right?
- Miss Scott, I'm Matt Yelland, skipper of this ship.
Copy !req
788. Thank you for your hospitality, Captain,
but / insist you fly Miss Scott and myself..
Copy !req
789. To Pearl Harbor immediately.
Copy !req
790. - Very well. Lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
791. Follow this officer.
He'll see that you're fully equipped...
Copy !req
792. and then escort you
to the hangar deck.
Copy !req
793. Thank you, Captain.
Laurel.
Copy !req
794. - Charlie?
- Forget about the dog. He'll be all right.
Copy !req
795. Wait a minute, Captain. I think
you're making a big mistake here.
Copy !req
796. That man mysteriously disappeared
on December 7, 1941. That's today, sir.
Copy !req
797. Now, at the present time,
he is the front-running candidate...
Copy !req
798. for the vice presidential spot
on the Democratic ticket in 1944.
Copy !req
799. And if he survives, he's almost certain to
become the president of the United States...
Copy !req
800. when Roosevelt dies
in April of 1945,
Copy !req
801. Sir, don't you think he'd be a whole lot
safer to stay on the ship for the time being?
Copy !req
802. Mr. Lasky, my job is
to make decisions here, now,
Copy !req
803. not worry about what politician may be
in the White House...
Copy !req
804. - four years from now or 40 years ago.
- But, sir...
Copy !req
805. And right now, I don't like having two civilians
on my ship when I'm about to do battle.
Copy !req
806. You've got three civilians.
Copy !req
807. Mr. Lasky, you're free
to go with them if you like.
Copy !req
808. Dick.
Copy !req
809. Just got enough time to drop them off on
a deserted spot on this island.
Copy !req
810. Not Pearl, sir?
Copy !req
811. Hell, no. They'll be
a whole lot safer there.
Copy !req
812. We'll equip them to look
after themselves till it's over.
Copy !req
813. I'll feel a lot easier
with them off my hands.
Copy !req
814. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
815. Dick.
Copy !req
816. Be sure you're back by 0700.
Copy !req
817. I want my best man
commanding that strike force.
Copy !req
818. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
819. Now hear this. Now hear this.
Copy !req
820. All hands, stand by for special announcement
from the captain in 15 minutes.
Copy !req
821. What are you doing here,
Mr. Lasky?
Copy !req
822. I wanna go to
Pearl Harbor with you.
Copy !req
823. Wait a minute.
You're not going to Pearl, are you?
Copy !req
824. Do they know?
Copy !req
825. No.
Copy !req
826. Outfit number two, rising.
Copy !req
827. Stand clear, yellow crew.
Copy !req
828. Captain, enemy fleet 170 miles
north, northwest Pearl.
Copy !req
829. The Japanese fleet now bears
055 degrees, 162 miles.
Copy !req
830. - Through 2202.
- Look at all this ordnance.
Copy !req
831. Yeah, it's gotta be
the real thing.
Copy !req
832. Watch that wing tip!
Copy !req
833. This is the captain.
Copy !req
834. I'm speaking to every man
aboard this ship.
Copy !req
835. In the past few hours,
many things have happened,
Copy !req
836. but rumors
of nuclear attacks...
Copy !req
837. and a third world war
are totally untrue.
Copy !req
838. We have no reason to believe
that any aggression has been taken...
Copy !req
839. against our homes and families.
Copy !req
840. I believe that what we have stumbled across
is not man-made...
Copy !req
841. but a phenomena of nature.
Copy !req
842. One that
can't be explained.
Copy !req
843. Now, this phenomena is a storm
which the Nimitz went through...
Copy !req
844. less than 18 hours ago.
Copy !req
845. This storm has had
some effect on time as we know it.
Copy !req
846. It... It created a portal,
a door into another era.
Copy !req
847. Today is December 7, 1941.
Copy !req
848. I'm sure we're all aware
of the significance of this date...
Copy !req
849. and its place in history.
Copy !req
850. We're about to fight a battle
that was lost...
Copy !req
851. before most of you
were born.
Copy !req
852. This time, with God's help,
Copy !req
853. it's going to be different.
Copy !req
854. Good luck.
Copy !req
855. Hey, Charlie.
Copy !req
856. Good boy.
Where you been hiding?
Copy !req
857. You wanna come with me?
Come on, boy.
Copy !req
858. Eagle Control, 736.
Copy !req
859. ETA destination three minutes.
Copy !req
860. Roger, 736.
Copy !req
861. All right, let's move it!
Copy !req
862. This isn't Pearl Harbor!
Copy !req
863. Following orders,
Commander?
Copy !req
864. That's right, Senator.
Copy !req
865. Is Commander Owens in the air yet?
Copy !req
866. - No, sir.
- Let me know the moment he's airborne.
Copy !req
867. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
868. Why didn't you
go with them?
Copy !req
869. I wasn't invited.
Copy !req
870. Skipper,
it's time to go.
Copy !req
871. Then let's go...
to Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
872. You shoot that in here,
we're all going up.
Copy !req
873. Then you better do what I say.
Take off. Now!
Copy !req
874. Don't let it go off!
Copy !req
875. - I lost it. I lost the helo!
- What?
Copy !req
876. I tell you, I lost it.
It just disappeared from the scope.
Copy !req
877. - What the hell do you mean it just disappeared?
- That's it, Captain.
Copy !req
878. - One second it was on the scope, the next it was gone.
- Search party?
Copy !req
879. It's too late. Officer of the deck,
turn the Nimitz into the wind.
Copy !req
880. Aye, aye, Captain.
Copy !req
881. - Launch aircraft.
- Yes, sir, Captain.
Copy !req
882. That's it. Let's go. Cats, you got green lights.
Get 'em in the air!
Copy !req
883. Victory 210, this is Zulu-5-Bravo.
Copy !req
884. Your vector 120. Estimated time
of intercept 0740. Over.
Copy !req
885. Zulu-5-Bravo,
this is Victory 210.
Copy !req
886. Nine minutes
to intercept.
Copy !req
887. Sir, I think
you oughta see this.
Copy !req
888. It suddenly appeared
behind us.
Copy !req
889. I don't believe this.
It's starting again.
Copy !req
890. Do you think
we can outrun it?
Copy !req
891. Maybe we oughta be asking ourselves
should we even be trying to outrun it.
Copy !req
892. Six minutes to intercept.
Copy !req
893. - Change course to 180.
- Aye, aye, sir.
Copy !req
894. - All ahead, flank speed.
- Steady course 180.
Copy !req
895. - Come to course 180, aye, sir.
- All ahead flank.
Copy !req
896. - Indicate 125 RPM.
- All ahead flank, indicate 125 RPM.
Copy !req
897. Zulu-5-Bravo, this is Victory 210.
Copy !req
898. I have enemy bandits on radar.
Approximately four minutes to intercept.
Copy !req
899. 210, this is Zulu-5-Bravo.
You're cleared to arm.
Copy !req
900. Sir, when we changed course,
the storm changed course.
Copy !req
901. It's following us
and growing at the same time.
Copy !req
902. I'm recalling those planes.
Copy !req
903. - Wait a minute, sir. You can't do that.
- What are you talking about?
Copy !req
904. We've got an incredible
opportunity here.
Copy !req
905. We know where all the mistakes
are gonna be made for the next 40 years,
Copy !req
906. and you've got the power
to correct them.
Copy !req
907. You stay out of this.
Copy !req
908. Scrub the mission.
Get those planes back.
Copy !req
909. Your signal is Buster.
I say again, your signal is Buster.
Copy !req
910. Read you loud and clear.
Copy !req
911. Strike Force,
this is Strike Leader.
Copy !req
912. Return to base.
Mission aborted.
Copy !req
913. Mission aborted?
But we can see 'em?
Copy !req
914. Shit, they're gonna
let the Japs do it again.
Copy !req
915. This Is the captain.
Now hear this, men.
Copy !req
916. We've been through it once,
we're going through it again.
Copy !req
917. Prepare for approaching storm.
Copy !req
918. We interrupt this program
to bring you a special news bulletin.
Copy !req
919. The enemy bombers appeared over
Pearl Harbor at about 7:55 a.m.
Copy !req
920. December 7, 1941
Copy !req
921. a date which will live
in infamy-
Copy !req
922. - Any contact with our planes?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
923. Keep trying.
Copy !req
924. - Dan, get me a damage report.
- Right, Skipper.
Copy !req
925. - Get a phone check with all stations,
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
926. - You have control of the rudder.
- Bridge has control of the rudder, sir.
Copy !req
927. - Very well.
- All stations who experienced contact.
Copy !req
928. There they are!
Lo, on the right!
Copy !req
929. Stand by to render honors
to port USS Arizona.
Copy !req
930. Attention to port,
Copy !req
931. And salute.
Copy !req
932. Two. Carry on.
Copy !req
933. Pacific Fleet arriving.
Copy !req
934. 3rd Fleet arriving.
Copy !req
935. Carrier Group 8 arriving.
Copy !req
936. Matt, what the hell's
going on here?
Copy !req
937. Admiral, I don't know
where to begin.
Copy !req
938. Aircraft carrier getting lost in the Pacific
Ocean. What kind of navy is this?
Copy !req
939. He'll never believe it.
Copy !req
940. Captain, the admirals
have departed.
Copy !req
941. Thank you.
Copy !req
942. You seem to have
a 40-year-old dog on your hands.
Copy !req
943. Yeah, you could say that.
Copy !req
944. - Good luck, Mr. Lasky.
- Thank you, Mr. Thurman. Good-bye.
Copy !req
945. You know, in a way, Captain,
I think we're lucky.
Copy !req
946. How's that?
Copy !req
947. At least we came back
to the same world we left.
Copy !req
948. Most of us have.
Copy !req
949. Did Commander Owens
have any family?
Copy !req
950. No one.
Copy !req
951. Lasky, you've been
a pain in the ass.
Copy !req
952. But I'm glad to have known you.
Copy !req
953. Thank you, Captain.
I appreciate that.
Copy !req
954. Good luck to you.
Copy !req
955. And you too.
Copy !req
956. Wait a minute, boy. Here, Charlie!
Charlie, come back here.
Copy !req
957. Charlie.
Copy !req
958. Mr. Lasky?
Copy !req
959. Mr. and Mrs. Tideman
would like you to join them.
Copy !req
960. Mr. Tideman?
Copy !req
961. Welcome back, Mr. Lasky.
Copy !req
962. Laurel
Commander Owens.
Copy !req
963. Please, join us.
Copy !req
964. We have a lot to talk about
Copy !req
