47. - Yeah, that's right.
- What is your job, Mr. Lasky?Copy !req
48. - I'm a Systems Analyst.

49. Yeah, you could say that.Copy !req
50. - That's a quick change in the weather.

51. Sure is.Copy !req
52. - Hi, Kag.
- It's getting a little strange out there, boys.Copy !req
53. - Welcome aboard, Mr. Lasky.
- Thank you, Captain.Copy !req
54. - Are we headed for a squall?

taking a lookCopy !req
60. at how we do things
here aboard the Nimitz.Copy !req
61. - We'll give you whatever help we can, sir.
- Thank you.Copy !req
62. Our departure
was delayed two daysCopy !req
63. - at the request of your mysterious boss.
- I'm sorry about that, CaptainCopy !req
64. but I'm afraid Mr. Richard Tideman
is as much a mystery to meCopy !req
65. - as he is to the rest of the world.
- Two days.Copy !req
66. Perhaps the fact that Tideman
helped design and build this shipCopy !req
67. affords him some
special privileges.Copy !req
68. Corporal Kullman will escort you
while you're aboard ship.Copy !req
69. - Right this way, sir.
- Oh, Mr. Lasky?Copy !req
70. I'd be delighted if
you'd join me for dinner.Copy !req
71. Thank you, Captain.
I'd like to.Copy !req
72. Ah, shit.Copy !req
73. Am I mistaken, or was Black Cloud's
forecast this morningCopy !req
74. - for clear skies and sunshine?
- I'll bet he wishes it wasn't, sir.Copy !req
75. Hand me that weather report,
please.Copy !req
76. Thank you.Copy !req
77. Sir?Copy !req
78. What do you think it is?Copy !req
79. It wasn't there

and if it's not there, check all receivers.Copy !req
81. Aye, aye, sir.Copy !req

90. Hello?Copy !req
91. "Pacific At War,
Commander Richard T. Owens."Copy !req
92. Very well.Copy !req
93. Captain?Copy !req
94. We're having communication problems
with the incoming flights.Copy !req
95. - What do you mean?
- It's interference from the storm, sir.Copy !req
96. - Get Black Cloud up here.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
97. Sunshine and clear skies.Copy !req
98. - Anything else you'd like to see?
- I beg your pardon.Copy !req
99. What the hell are you
doing in my cabin?Copy !req
100. I'm terribly sorry.Copy !req
101. You're Commander Owens.
I'm Warren Lasky.Copy !req
102. They put me next door.Copy !req
103. - Oh, yes yes yes.Copy !req
104. Mr. Lasky, the one thing
we cherish aboard a ship is privacy.Copy !req
105. Maybe it's because we get
so damn little of it.Copy !req
106. I understand.
I hope you'll forgive me.Copy !req
107. You know, from what I've read,
your manuscript is very good;Copy !req
108. I mean, really very good.Copy !req
109. Thank you.
You a historian, Mr. Lasky?Copy !req
110. I'm a little bit of everything, I guess.
I work for Tideman Industries.Copy !req
111. What exactly is your job
aboard this ship?Copy !req
112. Very simply, I look at the way
you people do thingsCopy !req
113. and if I can think
of any alternativesCopy !req
114. I write it up and submit a report
to the Department of Defense.Copy !req
115. Think you'll find some?Copy !req
116. Well, there are always
alternatives, Commander.Copy !req
117. Mr. Lasky, please don't
look for them in here.Copy !req
118. Excuse me.Copy !req
119. Boss, Kag's here.Copy !req
120. - Hi, Dick.Copy !req
121. George, any further word
from Stanton?Copy !req
122. We know he's inbound, but we can't
talk to him. His radios are garbled.Copy !req
123. Just wish he had more experience.Copy !req
124. Yes, Captain.
Yes, sir. He's right here.Copy !req
125. - Kag?
- Yes, Skipper?Copy !req
126. - How many planes have you got in the air?
- Just one, sir.Copy !req
127. - Our newest pilot, Stanton.
- Well, get him aboard as fast as you can.Copy !req
128. - I want to get out of this weather.
- Right away, Skipper.Copy !req
129. - He wants him down now. Keep trying.
- Corsair, 412.Copy !req
130. Air Ops Primary, try again on 412.
See if you can reach him.Copy !req
131. Take a look
at the scope, sir.Copy !req
132. The water temperature's
down five degreesCopy !req
133. and even the barometer's
giving improper readings.Copy !req
134. It should be down,
and it's way up.Copy !req
135. - What the hell is that?
- It seems to have a cycle, sir.Copy !req
136. One run it's there,
the next one is clear.Copy !req
137. One run it's there, the next one is clear.
I've never seen anything like it.Copy !req
138. Turn those destroyers around
and head them back to Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
139. - No need for them to go through this.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
140. Keep it in the wind till we get
that Corsair aboard.Copy !req
141. It's one of our new pilots.Copy !req
142. All units in Romeo Alpha,
this is Kilo Bravo.Copy !req
143. This is 412. I have an unsafe
hook indicator. Over.Copy !req
144. 412, roger. Unsafe hook.
Recycle your hook.Copy !req
145. Negative.
I've tried that.Copy !req
146. 412, your transmission's poor.
Say your fuel's state.Copy !req
147. Captain Boss, that Corsair's in real trouble.
Can't get his tail hook down.Copy !req
148. - I think we better take him in the barricade.
- Rig it!Copy !req
149. Air Ops, tri-flight.
On the flight deck!Copy !req
150. We have an A-7 Corsair in trouble.
Can't get his hook down.Copy !req
151. This is not a drill.Copy !req
152. Repeat, this is not a drill.
Now rig the barricade!Copy !req
153. Bow deck! Bow deck!
This is no drill!Copy !req
154. All right! Let's go!Copy !req
155. Go on! Let's hustle now!Copy !req
156. All personnel
off the deck, now!Copy !req
157. Barricade coming up.
Clear the area!Copy !req
158. Clear the flight deck!Copy !req
159. - Do you see him out there yet?
- Yeah, there he is!Copy !req

172. Go up and forward on your starboard side,
down and aft on your port side.Copy !req
173. General quarters,
general quarters.Copy !req
174. Time plus two minutes.Copy !req
175. - What the hell's goin' on?
- General quarters, sir. Come with me.Copy !req
176. Time plus three minutes.Copy !req
177. Time plus four.Copy !req
178. Report when all stations
are manned and ready.Copy !req
179. Got him right there!
Comin' in! A-7 Corsair!Copy !req
180. Heads up on deck!
He's in bound to the barricade.Copy !req
181. Green jackets

182. We can't hear you.Copy !req
183. All right.Copy !req

186. Red shirts, front and center!
Move it, move it!Copy !req
187. Move it!Copy !req
188. - Go back to course 350.
- Aye, aye, sir.Copy !req
189. Okay! Take 'er down!Copy !req
190. All personnel on the Flight Deck,
let's turn to.Copy !req
191. Blue shirts, locks and chains
on the aircraft.Copy !req
192. Is this the last known position
of our destroyers before the storm?Copy !req
193. - Yes, sir, Captain.
- Skipper.Copy !req
194. Dan, go down and check out
the Threat Board.Copy !req
195. - Keep me posted.
- Right.Copy !req
196. - Get Kag up here.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
197. I want to talk
to CINCPAC Fleet.Copy !req
198. Captain, we're down across the board.
Antennas check out, but we're off the air.Copy !req
199. - Any word from our destroyers?
- We aren't getting anythingCopy !req
200. except some code transmissions
in the 200-meter band.Copy !req
201. Otherwise, we're dead
as a doornail.Copy !req
202. - Ops, what's our radar picture?
- Radar shows us clear, sir.Copy !req
203. Clear? Can't you see
that Russian trawler?Copy !req
204. I have the signal officer
on deck, but no visual sighting, sir.Copy !req
205. Keep me advised.
Navigator, what's our posi?Copy !req
206. 270, Captain.
280 miles west of Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
207. Oh, Dick. Launch a Hawkeye
to check ship's communicationsCopy !req
208. a Crusader to make a photo run over
Pearl and put two Tomcats on ready alert.Copy !req
209. - Aye, aye, sir.
- Captain! Captain!Copy !req
210. Hey, what happened?Copy !req
211. Frankly, I don't know.Copy !req
212. Lieutenant, have the heads
of all departmentsCopy !req
213. meet me at C.V.I.C.
immediately after the launch.Copy !req
214. Aye, aye, sir.Copy !req
215. - Mr. Lasky, I want you to stay with me.
- Captain's off the Bridge.Copy !req
216. It's a code.Copy !req
217. Can you break it,
Chief?Copy !req
218. - I think someone's putting us on.
- Why?Copy !req
219. Because I learned this code
at Great Lakes. It's ancient.Copy !req
220. Thanks, Chief.Copy !req
221. Stand clear at 012.
Hawkeye rotating.Copy !req
222. Off the bow, stand clear.Copy !req
223. 736 lifting for plane guard.Copy !req
224. Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!Copy !req
225. - Go hold your own!
- Who said that?Copy !req
226. Chrissakes, Chief, all we want to know
is what's going on.Copy !req
227. - Whatever it is, you'll be told.
- When?Copy !req
228. - As soon as the skipper's ready.
- That's what they always say!Copy !req
229. Hey, Ex-O, what's goin' on?
Attention on deck!Copy !req
230. Carry on.Copy !req
231. Gentlemen, we're at general quarters,
because I don't have any idea what's happened.Copy !req
232. But I don't exclude
the possibility of war.Copy !req
233. - A nuclear strike?
- Possibility.Copy !req
234. - Now, what action's been taken?
- Well, SkipperCopy !req
235. there's nothing on the Threat BoardCopy !req
236. and there's been no
significant damage to the ship.Copy !req
237. - The crew's in good shape.
- Air wing is intact. First team's ready to go.Copy !req
238. E-2 is now showing the area clear,
and reconnaissance aircraftCopy !req
239. should be coming up on Pearl
any moment, sir.Copy !req
240. The reactor is stable.
All readings are normal.Copy !req
241. Capable for maximum speed,
Captain.Copy !req
242. - Lloyd.
- We can transmit and receiveCopy !req
243. - but we haven't been able to reach anybody.
- Why's that?Copy !req
244. Tried everybody in the book...
CINCPAC, Joint Chiefs...Copy !req
245. I even took a crack
at the White House.Copy !req
246. Now, we do have some low-band
transmissions...Copy !req
247. strictly manual
stuff with very low power.Copy !req
248. We'll have to do some retuning
to transmit in that range.Copy !req
249. Get on with it!Copy !req
250. - Ops?
- All radar's up, all weapon systems check out.Copy !req
251. - We're ready, sir.
- Mr. Lasky. You have anything to add?Copy !req
252. - No, sir, not at this time.
- Skipper.Copy !req
253. I have a reconnaissance report
coming in now, sir.Copy !req
254. Flight level 250.
Camera rolling.Copy !req
255. There doesn't appear to be any damage.
Seems to be some unusual shipping traffic.Copy !req
256. I'll make another pass
for a close-up series.Copy !req
257. - Over.
- E.T.A. to Nimitz, 12 minutes, sir.Copy !req
258. Skipper, we're picking up some weird
traffic on the A.M. broadcast bandCopy !req
259. on the entertainment circuit,
but the signal strength is very weak.Copy !req
260. Boss, I told you. I tried and tried,
and I can't get Carmichael to go to sleep.Copy !req
261. Rochester, that polar bear's
got to go to sleep.Copy !req
262. - He's supposed to hibernate.
- Jack Benny?Copy !req
263. Where is he now?Copy !req
264. Sittin'up in bed,
readin' Esquire.Copy !req
265. Esquire? Well,
take it away from him.Copy !req
266. Oh, come now, boss.
He's been around.Copy !req
267. Lloyd, tape and monitor
all transmissions.Copy !req
268. Ops, I want a closer look on all air,
surface and subsurface contactsCopy !req
269. within 250 miles
of this ship.Copy !req
270. Dick, put some tankers and a medium-sized
strike force on a 30-minute alert.Copy !req
271. - Aye, aye, sir.
- Any questions?Copy !req
272. Skipper, the ship is still at general quarters.
Request permission to go to condition 3.Copy !req
273. Granted. I'll be on the Bridge.
I want answers.Copy !req
274. Attention on deck!Copy !req
275. Secure from general quarters.
Set condition 3.Copy !req
276. - I stand relieved.
- Very well.Copy !req
277. - Bridge.
- Captain's on the Bridge.Copy !req
278. Captain, C.I.C. reports a surface contact
bearing 350° at 130 miles.Copy !req
279. - I want an I.D. on the surface contact.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
280. - Launch the ready alert.
- Aye, sir.Copy !req
281. Which, translated
into world termsCopy !req
282. means a worldwide reduction
of armamentsCopy !req
283. to such a point
and in such a thorough fashionCopy !req
284. that no nation
will be in a positionCopy !req
285. to commit an act
of physical aggressionCopy !req
286. against any neighbor anywhereCopy !req
287. in the world.Copy !req
288. What the hell's the matter with him?Copy !req
289. He's asking us to trust our enemies,
and he knows better.Copy !req
290. You're absolutely right.Copy !req
291. Hey, Laurel,
you finished that very quickly.Copy !req
292. Well, I hope so. Let's see,
where were we? Uhh...Copy !req
293. "And there"... Oops.
"And therefore"... Ah, here we are.Copy !req
294. "So if he does choose
to support my programCopy !req
295. let Senator Chapman
be assured nowCopy !req
296. that I am fully aware
of those qualities in himCopy !req
297. which recommend him
as cabinet material."Copy !req
298. I think that says it exactly.
You agree, Arthur?Copy !req
299. - Miss Scott, you should've been a diplomat.
- I rather thought I was.Copy !req
300. Well, you certainly cooked up
a compromise that's gonna make your bossCopy !req
301. the next vice president
of the United States.Copy !req
302. I better type this up before you two start
trying to improve on it.Copy !req
303. - Thanks, Laurel.
- Here in downtown HonoluluCopy !req
304. the weather is 78°
under partly cloudy skies.Copy !req
305. Arthur, will you leave the girl
enough clothes on not to catch cold?Copy !req
306. She's too valuable to me
right now.Copy !req
307. Have you slept with her yet?Copy !req
308. What kind of a question is
that to ask a married man?Copy !req
309. - You son of a gun!
- Think I better go check what she's doin'.Copy !req
310. - Oh, sure!
- Arthur, have another drinkCopy !req
311. and stop thinking about how
much everybody else is gettin'.Copy !req
312. - Thanks!
- See you later.Copy !req
313. We swung it, Laurel. How about that?
We really swung it!Copy !req
314. - Did you tell him you were sleeping with me?
- What?Copy !req
315. Laurel. I wish I was.Copy !req
316. - I'm not gonna lie about it.
- People assume you are anyway.Copy !req
317. - I'll just have to live with the fact.
- Fact?Copy !req
318. Of what they think.Copy !req
319. You're a strange girl,
Laurel.Copy !req
320. You give more back talk and less
cooperation than any girl on Capitol Hill.Copy !req
321. I don't know why I put up with
you and your dog.Copy !req
322. I don't know why
I just don't fire you.Copy !req
323. Because I'm the best
political assistant you'll findCopy !req
324. and you're still more interested
in politics than sex.Copy !req
325. Charlie!Copy !req
326. What is he barking at?Copy !req
327. Charlie, what is it?Copy !req
328. Shhh. Listen.Copy !req
329. They had U.S. markings.Copy !req
330. - You sure of that?
- I thought so, too.Copy !req
331. Their speed!
Are they ours?Copy !req
332. I don't know. But if they are ours,
they've kept them a close secret.Copy !req
333. - I want inquiries made as soon as we return.
- Yes, Senator.Copy !req
334. Bridge.Copy !req
335. Skipper, the F-14s
are on top of the contact.Copy !req
336. Alert 1, this is Eagle 1.
What have you got?Copy !req
337. We've overflown
the craft, sir.Copy !req
338. It's a civilian yacht,
flying U.S. flagCopy !req
339. about 50 feet in length,
old but in mint condition.Copy !req
340. - Over.
- Hold observation position.Copy !req
341. Dispatching 86 tanker
for refueling.Copy !req
342. Stand clear, Path 1.Copy !req
343. 86 tanker departing.Copy !req
344. The challenger's back with one,
two, three jabs to the mouth.Copy !req
345. Louis responds with a right to the head.
Cuts with a left to the body.Copy !req
346. - Brings it up to the head.
- Hey, who's that fighting?Copy !req
347. - Louis takes another left and a right.
- I don't know.Copy !req
348. Louis is staggered by a right to the jaw.
He almost goes down.Copy !req
349. There's the bell ending round 12.Copy !req
350. Look sharp, feel sharpCopy !req
351. Be sharp and listen, mister
How are you fixed for bladesCopy !req
352. - Do you have plenty?
- How are you fixed for bladesCopy !req
353. You're better off...Copy !req
354. Let's get some air.Copy !req
355. - Captain's off the Bridge.Copy !req
356. I don't know.Copy !req
357. Dan, what's this all about?
What do you make of it?Copy !req
358. Nostalgia broadcasting
on the Armed Forces band.Copy !req
359. Broadcasting
after a strike? Nah.Copy !req
360. Excuse me.Copy !req
361. Sir, is it possible that this could be
part of some secret naval maneuver?Copy !req
362. - Course not.
- There are a few peopleCopy !req
363. - who'd like to watch us work under pressure.
- What are you saying, Dan?Copy !req
364. The Department of Defense sent
him out here.Copy !req
365. Maybe they wanted
to give him something to watch.Copy !req
366. Now, that makes more sense
than anything else so far.Copy !req
367. Now, wait a minute, gentlemen. You may
be the victims of some kind of joke.Copy !req
368. But whether the Pentagon's
behind itCopy !req
369. or the Kremlin
or some little green men from MarsCopy !req
370. I promise you, I'm as much
in the dark about it as you are.Copy !req
371. Captain, we're getting something
you might wanna hear.Copy !req
372. - In the Plot Room.
- Aye, sir.Copy !req
373. The Germans are retreating
on the 70-mile front in southern Russia.Copy !req
374. However, forces were reported
200 miles from MoscowCopy !req
375. and long-range artillery fire
was heard in the suburbs of Moscow.Copy !req
376. - Meanwhile in Washington...
- What the hell's going on here?Copy !req
377. Sir, I think you ought to seeCopy !req
378. these aerial reconnaissance
photographs of Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
379. - Turn that off!
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
380. That'll be all.
You.Copy !req
381. - It's not Pearl Harbor.
- Sure as hell is.Copy !req
382. Look at that old battle rig.Copy !req
383. It's a memorial now.
It's the Arizona.Copy !req
384. - But she's completely intact.
- That's right.Copy !req
385. - Get Mr. Lasky back up here.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
386. What's the matter
with you?Copy !req
387. I was just on the Bridge.
They're scared. Real scared.Copy !req
388. - What happened?
- It's crazy.Copy !req
389. The Russians, us,
even the Germans.Copy !req
390. - We've finally done it.
- Done what, for Christ's sake?Copy !req
391. - War. We're at war.
- You always talkin' shit.Copy !req
392. I want a straight answerCopy !req
393. and I don't give a damn about any orders
you've had elsewhere.Copy !req
394. Is there something
you've held back?Copy !req
395. Nothing.
Absolutely nothing, Captain.Copy !req
396. All right.
I accept that.Copy !req
397. Here's a photo taken by our reconnaissance
pilots less than an hour ago.Copy !req
398. - May I suggest something, Captain?
- I'm wide open.Copy !req
399. I suggest that you ask Commander Owens
to come up here right awayCopy !req
400. and bring the photos he's using
to illustrate his book.Copy !req
401. Why?Copy !req
402. I think he'll have something
very interesting to show you.Copy !req
403. All right.Copy !req
404. Tanker, this is Alert 1. You got
two thirsty Tomcats. Whaddya got?Copy !req
405. I've got the hard stuff.
Pull right in.Copy !req
406. Contact.Copy !req
407. We've got a green light.Copy !req
408. Fill 'er up, check the oil
and clean the windshield. Over.Copy !req
409. Dick, where'd you get these?Copy !req
410. I got them from the Smithsonian, sir.
They're old agency photos of Pearl.Copy !req
411. - Just like these.
- Not like these.Copy !req
412. That one was taken
less than an hour ago.Copy !req
413. I don't understand, sir.
These are pre-World War II pictures.Copy !req
414. This is the fleet
that was destroyed.Copy !req
415. Sir, C.I.C. reports two bogeys
at low altitude. Distance, 125 miles.Copy !req
416. - Have our fighters take an I.D. pass.
- Aye, Captain.Copy !req
417. Have our fighters investigate and
identify the contact 090, signal Buster.Copy !req
418. Aye, sir. Alert 1,
this is Eagle Control.Copy !req
419. Vector 210 for the bogeys.
Bogeys low and slow.Copy !req
420. Your signal is Buster.
I say again, your signal is Buster.Copy !req
421. Roger, Eagle Control.
Alert 2 now completing its fueling.Copy !req
422. Vectoring 210. Out.Copy !req
423. That's the Arizona,
Tennessee, West Virginia.Copy !req
424. You're sayingCopy !req
425. that these are both photographs
of Pearl HarborCopy !req
426. on December 6, 1941?Copy !req
427. Yes, sir.Copy !req
428. Our reconnaissance plane
has just taken picturesCopy !req
429. of something
that hasn't existedCopy !req
430. for over 40 years.Copy !req
431. Sir, we've got I.D.
on the bogeys.Copy !req
432. - Captain's on the Bridge.
- What button?Copy !req
433. Eleven, sir.Copy !req
434. Alert 1, this is Eagle 1.
What have you got?Copy !req
435. - Two Japanese Zeros, sir.
- Two what?Copy !req
436. Two trophy-class Mitsubishi
A6Ms in original conditionCopy !req
437. complete with all markings.Copy !req
438. - I mean, they look brand new, sir.
- Have you been spotted?Copy !req
439. Negative. We're right
on the side at 6:00 high.Copy !req
440. Stay in visual contact.
Take no action without clearance.Copy !req
441. Wilco, Eagle 1. Out.Copy !req
442. - Jack Benny and Rochester.
- And newscasts from World War II.Copy !req
443. Somebody
for some reasonCopy !req
444. wants us to believe
that we're back in 1941.Copy !req
445. - Now, who wants it?
- The Russians.Copy !req
446. - Oh, Dan.
- Maybe. Power of psychology.Copy !req
447. Excuse me, CaptainCopy !req
448. but we also have to consider
one alternative possibility.Copy !req
449. What's that?Copy !req
450. The possibility that what's
happening here is real.Copy !req
451. Geez, that's ridiculous.Copy !req
452. Maybe, but we have some
pretty strong evidence, sir.Copy !req
453. Let's not just write off one
possible explanation for itCopy !req
454. - because we don't happen to like it.
- How would that be possible, Mr. Lasky?Copy !req
455. - Could you explain that to me?
- No, sir, I can't.Copy !req
456. But all of us know that movement
through time is possible.Copy !req
457. Einstein proved it.Copy !req
458. - In theory.
- In theory.Copy !req
459. So all we have to do is move
through some storm at sea, and bingo...Copy !req
460. we're all much more
clever than Einstein.Copy !req
461. What sort of storm was that, Commander?
Certainly nothing like I've ever seen.Copy !req
462. Nothing like any of us
have ever seen.Copy !req
463. There are forces in the universeCopy !req
464. which we're only now just
beginning to understand.Copy !req
465. I mean, understand through science,
not superstition.Copy !req
466. There are black holes in space,
antimatter, curved space...Copy !req
467. things that are as strange to usCopy !req
468. as electricity would have been
to people in the Middle AgesCopy !req
469. or this ship
in World War II.Copy !req
470. Well, crew is anxious
for an explanation too.Copy !req
471. Now, we've gotta get
a clearer picture of all this.Copy !req
472. Let's go to C.I.C.Copy !req
473. Hey.Copy !req
474. - What is it?
- Listen.Copy !req
475. It's those planes again.Copy !req
476. No, no.
Different noise entirely.Copy !req
477. There they are.Copy !req
478. - They're not ours, are they?
- No, certainly not.Copy !req
479. They have Japanese markings.Copy !req
480. They're comin' in again.Copy !req
481. Laurel, ask the captain
to radio Hawaii.Copy !req
482. Find out about Japanese
fighter planes in the area.Copy !req
483. Yes, Senator.Copy !req
484. Oh, God! They're shooting!Copy !req
485. Oh, my God.Copy !req
486. - Oh, no.
- The captain send the message?Copy !req
487. We've gotta
get off this boat.Copy !req
488. Come on, Laurel!Copy !req
489. Eagle Control,
this is Alert 1.Copy !req
490. They just strafed the hell
out of that yacht!Copy !req
491. Why would they
attack a yacht?Copy !req
492. Their job would be to destroy anything
with a radio that could warn Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
493. Providing you
and Mr. Einstein are correct.Copy !req
494. Dick, where would the Japanese fleet be
at this time on December 6, 1941?Copy !req
495. Well, sir, they'd be off the scopeCopy !req
496. but an educated guess
would be around about here.Copy !req
497. Excuse me. They'd have to be here,
up around the northwest sector.Copy !req
498. Let's get this settled once and for all.
Have the E-2 check it out.Copy !req
499. I wanna see if the Japanese
task force is out there.Copy !req
500. Yes, sir.Copy !req
501. Eagle Control, Alert 1.
They're making another run.Copy !req
502. Jesus! They'll shoot that
damn yacht to pieces!Copy !req
503. Request permission
to arm and fire.Copy !req
504. - For God sakes, Skipper...
- Negative.Copy !req
505. - Charlie? Charlie!
- No, Laurel! Not now!Copy !req
506. Come on! Those planes are coming in!
Come on!Copy !req
507. Let's go! Come on, Harvey!Copy !req
508. Eagle Control, they blew it to bits.
They must've hit the fuel tank!Copy !req
509. - Any survivors?
- Stand by.Copy !req
510. Affirmative.
One, two, three Mae Wests!Copy !req
511. Hey, wait a minute!
Those bastards are turning back!Copy !req
512. They're gonna strafe them in the water!
Request permission to fire.Copy !req
513. This is Eagle 1. You are cleared to arm,
but do not fire.Copy !req
514. Throw them off,
play with them, but don't fire.Copy !req
515. Affirmative.Copy !req
516. - Sam! Sam.
- All right. It's all right. I'm all right.Copy !req
517. Look up!Copy !req
518. Oh, no!
They're coming again!Copy !req
519. Harvey! Get that life preserver off
and dive!Copy !req
520. I can't swim!Copy !req
521. Here they come!Copy !req
522. He's dead.Copy !req
523. It's okay. Easy, boy.
Up you go.Copy !req
524. Hey, Fox, that woke 'em up!Copy !req
525. I think we should
give 'em another shot.Copy !req
526. Why the hell are we
playing with these guys?Copy !req
527. Radar shows enemy planes
heading on course, 220.Copy !req
528. - 220.
- SweetJesus.Copy !req
529. Skipper, they're headed
straight for usCopy !req
530. and we've got an armed strike force
just sitting on the deck.Copy !req
531. Alert 1, this is Eagle 1.
You're cleared to fire.Copy !req
532. Splash the Zeros.
I say again, splash the Zeros.Copy !req
533. - Yes, sir.
- This has gotta be a dream.Copy !req
534. Eagle Control, Alert 1.Copy !req
535. Splash two. Repeat.Copy !req
536. Splash two.Copy !req
537. Possibly one survivor
in the water.Copy !req
538. Captain, the E-2
is coming upon Point Charlie.Copy !req
539. Eagle Control, we have
multiple radar contactsCopy !req
540. picking up on
4... 5... 6... heavies.Copy !req
541. Possible carriers
and 24 escort ships.Copy !req
542. Southeasterly heading.Copy !req
543. Negative radio
or radar emissions.Copy !req
544. Request instructions.
Over.Copy !req
545. That is the Japanese
attack force.Copy !req
546. Yeah. I guess
now we know.Copy !req
547. Look, Dick. Take personal charge
of a rescue teamCopy !req
548. and keep the survivors
isolated.Copy !req
549. - Crazy situation.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
550. - You know what I want.
- I understand.Copy !req
551. Keep the fighters airborne
to cover the rescue.Copy !req
552. Aye, aye, Skipper.Copy !req
553. Now track and report all movements
of the Japanese task force.Copy !req
554. - Aye, aye, sir.
- Do you still think it's a dream?Copy !req
555. It's a nightmare.Copy !req
556. Let go!
Forget the damn dog!Copy !req
557. - Boss, 36.
- Go ahead, 36.Copy !req
558. We got two survivors
and now we're waiting to pick up Kag.Copy !req
559. - Kag? What the hell is he doing in the water?
- Damned if I know.Copy !req
560. Charlie!Copy !req
561. You all right,
ma'am?Copy !req
562. How you feeling, sir?Copy !req
563. What the hell kind of machine is this thing?
And what's your ship, Commander?Copy !req
564. It's an aircraft carrier, sir.
I'm Air Wing Commander Richard Owens.Copy !req
565. - Sam Chapman.
- Senator Samuel Chapman?Copy !req
566. That's right.Copy !req
567. Sure am glad
you were out here.Copy !req
568. Yes, sir.Copy !req
569. Okay, Senator,
watch yourself.Copy !req
570. Watch your head.Copy !req
571. - All right, take it easy.
- Hang on to me, sir.Copy !req
572. You'll be just fine.Copy !req
573. It's all right, ma'am.
Go with him.Copy !req
574. I'll take the dog,
Commander.Copy !req
575. Little bastard.Copy !req
576. Corporal!Copy !req
577. Mind the store, Ray.
I'm going forward.Copy !req
578. - Holy cow.
- It's the whole Japanese fleet.Copy !req
579. Have these things returned
to the Japanese pilot. Get this translated.Copy !req
580. Captain's on the Bridge.Copy !req
581. Mr. Lasky.
Gentlemen.Copy !req
582. Captain's off the Bridge.Copy !req
583. We can't ignore it
any longer.Copy !req
584. Every man on this ship knows
that we have radar and visual contactCopy !req
585. with a Japanese fleet
approaching Pearl HarborCopy !req
586. on December 6, 1941.Copy !req
587. - Now, what do we do about it?
- Skipper,Copy !req
588. what we do about it
is blow them out of the water.Copy !req
589. The U.S.S. Nimitz declares war
on the Japanese empire?Copy !req
590. That's what we'd be doing. But they haven't
attacked Pearl Harbor yet.Copy !req
591. The only evidence we have that
they intend to is in the history books.Copy !req
592. It opens up some
amazing possibilities.Copy !req
593. Think of the firepower
of the U.S.S. Nimitz back in 1941.Copy !req
594. What kind of possibilities,
Mr. Lasky?Copy !req
595. Possibilities for the future,
Mr. Owens.Copy !req
596. Think of the history
of the next 40 years.Copy !req
597. I have a suspicion history will be a little
more difficult to beatCopy !req
598. than you imagine,
Mr. Lasky.Copy !req
599. I'm talking about
the classic paradox of time.Copy !req
600. Imagine, for example, I go back in time
to meet my own grandfatherCopy !req
601. long before he got married,
before he had children.Copy !req
602. We have an argument,
and I kill him.Copy !req
603. Now, if that happens,
how am I ever gonna be born?Copy !req
604. And if I can never be born,
how can I go back in historyCopy !req
605. and meet
my very own grandfather?Copy !req
606. I'm not half the theorist
you are, Mr. LaskyCopy !req
607. but I still have a gut instinct
that things only happen once.Copy !req
608. And if they have happened, then there's
nothing we can do to change themCopy !req
609. - nor should we try.
- How are you gonna avoid it?Copy !req
610. It's already happening,
and we're already involved.Copy !req
611. For Christ's sake, what is this?
Some half-ass Princeton debating society?Copy !req
612. We are in a war situation.Copy !req
613. This is a United States
warshipCopy !req
614. or at least
it used to be.Copy !req
615. Or will be.
Or what the hell ever.Copy !req
616. Oh, goddamn it, you can
drive yourself crazyCopy !req
617. trying to think about this stuff.Copy !req
618. - Jesus, I must be dreaming!
- Now, hold it.Copy !req
619. All right.
Let's all calm down.Copy !req
620. Let's take it one step at a time
and by the book.Copy !req
621. If the United States of America
falls under attackCopy !req
622. our job is to defend herCopy !req
623. in the past, present
or future.Copy !req
624. - And after that?
- After that, we take our ordersCopy !req
625. from the commander in chief
of the United States Armed Forces.Copy !req
626. Franklin Delano Roosevelt?Copy !req
627. - Everything all right here?
- You in command of this ship?Copy !req
628. Oh, hardly. No, I'm a doctor.
Ship's commander is Captain Yelland.Copy !req
629. I'm sure he'll be down to see you
as soon as possible.Copy !req
630. - I certainly hope so.
- Meanwhile, you both seemCopy !req
631. - none the worse for your little mishap.
- Mishap?Copy !req
632. You call getting a boat shot out
from under youCopy !req
633. and three people dead a mishap?Copy !req
634. Are we at war?
Is that what happened?Copy !req
635. I'm really not
in a position to tell you...Copy !req
636. Yes?Copy !req
637. Charlie! Charlie!Copy !req
638. Oh, Charlie.
Am I glad to see you.Copy !req
639. Doctor,Copy !req
640. would you please inform the captain
that Senator Samuel ChapmanCopy !req
641. co-chairman of the Senate
Defense CommitteeCopy !req
642. would like to see him at once?Copy !req
643. Of course, Senator.Copy !req
644. Doctor, I believe
I said at once.Copy !req
645. First, a vitamin shot.
Now, if you'll both roll up your sleeves.Copy !req
646. - Senator.
- No, goddamn it!Copy !req
647. Now, you can take up
your needles, DoctorCopy !req
648. and whatever's in them
and get the hell out of here!Copy !req
649. Corporal?Copy !req
650. What the hell
are we, prisoners?Copy !req
651. Holy shit.Copy !req
652. Smoking lamp is lighted
in all authorized spaces.Copy !req
653. Son of a bitch.Copy !req
654. So, history may be tougher
to beat than I imagined.Copy !req
655. You're becoming
a real pain in the ass, Lasky.Copy !req
656. You take an awful lot of risks for someone
who's supposed to be intelligent.Copy !req
657. Do I? "The attack on Pearl Harbor
was far from a surprise for many peopleCopy !req
658. among them, the prominent and
ambitious Senator Samuel S. ChapmanCopy !req
659. who had only two weeks before,Copy !req
660. publicly argued for an increase
in our strength in the Pacific.Copy !req
661. Ironically, the senator disappeared
and was presumed dead,Copy !req
662. following the attack
he had foreseen so clearly.Copy !req
663. Had he lived,
it's very possibleCopy !req
664. Chapman could have been Roosevelt's
running mate in the 1944 election,Copy !req
665. and upon his death, the next
president of the United States."Copy !req
666. Now if that doesn't come under
the heading of trying to beat historyCopy !req
667. I don't know what does.Copy !req
668. Lasky, I realized who we had
the moment I heard his name.Copy !req
669. Why'd you keep it to yourself?Copy !req
670. Becuase I don't have your appetite
for playing God with the world.Copy !req
671. What was I supposed to do,
throw him back in the sea?Copy !req
672. At least that would have
preservedCopy !req
673. the natural order
of history as you've written it.Copy !req
674. Go to hell, Lasky.Copy !req
675. Go to hell yourself.
I wanna meet Chapman.Copy !req
676. Goddamn it!Copy !req
677. If this wasn't happening to me,
I wouldn't believe it.Copy !req
678. - Who the hell are these people?
- The navy.Copy !req
679. Yeah, the navy, yeah.
But what part of it?Copy !req
680. I've never seen machines
like they got on board this thing.Copy !req
681. And where have they been
developing aircraft like that?Copy !req
682. The navy would have to
appear before my committeeCopy !req
683. and I've never even heard
a whisper about it.Copy !req
684. Rocket planes and that thing
they pulled us out of the sea with.Copy !req
685. And naming this ship after Chester Nimitz,
an active-duty admiral.Copy !req
686. What the hell's
going on here?Copy !req
687. Yeah, Roosevelt.
He owns the military.Copy !req
688. That's it.Copy !req
689. That's exactly who.Copy !req
690. F.D.R. has wanted the United States
in this war since it startedCopy !req
691. but he knows there's no way
it's gonna happenCopy !req
692. except in response to an attack.Copy !req
693. - You always said the Japanese would attack.
- That's right.Copy !req
694. And who's sitting out here
with no pressCopy !req
695. while the White House takes
all the credit for raising the alarmCopy !req
696. and being ready
to hit back?Copy !req
697. - Obviously, we are.
- Goddamn it!Copy !req
698. Anything?Copy !req
699. Whoever he is,
he's either too scaredCopy !req
700. or too well briefed
to talk about it.Copy !req
701. Excuse me.Copy !req
702. All right, Corporal.Copy !req
703. Commander, I demand to know
why we're being held prisoners.Copy !req
704. Here wait. I got him.Copy !req
705. Jesus Christ!Copy !req
706. No, don't!Copy !req
707. Oh, my God.Copy !req
708. The prisoner has shot one,
maybe two of your men.Copy !req
709. Move in!Copy !req
710. Captain,Copy !req
711. prisoner grabbed a weapon.Copy !req
712. Shot one of my men,
maybe two.Copy !req
713. We're in position.Copy !req
714. The area is sealed off.Copy !req
715. Stand by.Copy !req
716. Get Lieutenant Kajima
up here on the double.Copy !req
717. Can't we get a translator
down here, for God's sakes?Copy !req
718. How the hell do we know what he's saying
if we can't understand him?Copy !req
719. We need a translator to tell him
we need a translator.Copy !req
720. Maybe that's just what
he's trying to tell us.Copy !req
721. All right, Dick, Lieutenant Kajima is here.
Put it on the box.Copy !req
722. Ask him what he wants.Copy !req
723. He wants access
to a radio, sir.Copy !req
724. Does he say why?Copy !req
725. Because he wants to
warn his commanderCopy !req
726. about us.Copy !req
727. He repeats the demand.Copy !req
728. - Or else?
- He will kill again.Copy !req
729. Do you think there's a chance
they might believe him?Copy !req
730. There's no chance if things remain
the way they are.Copy !req
731. Tell him we agree.Copy !req
732. - You son of a...
- No! Don't shoot! Back off!Copy !req
733. Don't shoot!Copy !req
734. Back off! Back off!
Don't shoot!Copy !req
735. What the hell's
going on down there?Copy !req
736. He says one more attempt to trick him
and the girl is dead.Copy !req
737. There'll be no tricks. He can use
the radio room if he frees the girl.Copy !req
738. Says he doesn't believe you.Copy !req
739. Why don't you tell him
what's going on here, Commander?Copy !req
740. You're an expert on what's
gonna happen tomorrowCopy !req
741. tell him about it,
for God's sakes.Copy !req
742. Go on, tell him!
We got nothing to lose!Copy !req
743. Dick?Copy !req
744. Yes, Sir?Copy !req
745. Go ahead, tell him.Copy !req
746. 26 November, six carriers
left the Coral Isles north of Japan.Copy !req
747. The carriers were
the Akagi, Kaga, ShokakuCopy !req
748. Zuikaku, Hiryu, Soryu.Copy !req
749. Tomorrow at dawn,
these carriers will send 353 planesCopy !req
750. to attack Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
751. How in the hell
do you know all that?Copy !req
752. Your code is
"Climb Mount Niitaka."Copy !req
753. What's going on?Copy !req
754. Please, Miss Scott,
don't ask me any questions.Copy !req
755. There isn't anything
I can tell you at this time.Copy !req
756. All right?Copy !req
757. Where's Charlie?
Where's my dog?Copy !req
758. We'll find him,
Miss Scott.Copy !req
759. He can't get off
the ship.Copy !req
760. Casualties will be moved
down to secondary triage.Copy !req
761. I wanna get out of this bathrobe
and into some clothes!Copy !req
762. Will somebody please get me
some clothes? For God's sakes!Copy !req
763. - Chief, get the senator some clothes.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
764. Senator, Matt Yelland,
commanding officer.Copy !req
765. Where and how did you get
all this information I've been hearing?Copy !req
766. - And is it true?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
767. Did you inform
Pearl Harbor Command?Copy !req
768. - No, Senator.
- Why the hell not?Copy !req
769. Well, the reasons are a little complicated,
but, uh, believe me, SenatorCopy !req
770. this carrier is capable of handling
any attack should it occur.Copy !req
771. One carrier
against a whole fleet?Copy !req
772. Just what kind of an idiot
do you take me for?Copy !req
773. - Senator, calm down.
- The hell with you!Copy !req
774. Tell Pearl Harbor what's happening here,
or I'll talk to them.Copy !req
775. Very well.Copy !req
776. Dan, set up the communications
in my inport cabin.Copy !req
777. Wouldn't you like to talk to them
with some clothes on?Copy !req
778. - Thank you, Captain.
- Follow me, sir.Copy !req
779. - Are you all right?
- Yes, sir, I'm fine.Copy !req
780. Can you do that, Captain?Copy !req
781. Contact Pearl Harbor
back in 1941.Copy !req
782. I think so.Copy !req
783. - Then what do you do?
- One step at a time.Copy !req
784. Yeah. Like a minefield.Copy !req
785. This is, uh, Senator Samuel S. Chapman
of the United States SenateCopy !req
786. on board the aircraft carrier,
Nimitz.Copy !req
787. Captain Yelland
is here with me.Copy !req
788. - You're on a what?
- I repeat.Copy !req
789. I am Senator Samuel S. Chapman
on board the U.S.S. Nimitz.Copy !req
790. All right,
whoever the hell you areCopy !req
791. use of military frequencies
by unauthorized personnel is a felony.Copy !req
792. Now just a minute here, sir!Copy !req
793. As we have no aircraft carrier Nimitz
and no Captain YellandCopy !req
794. I suggest, asshole, that you stop
impersonating some other assholeCopy !req
795. and get off the air.Copy !req
796. You're wasting our time.Copy !req
797. How dare you talk to me that way!
Captain, tell him who you are.Copy !req
798. Speak to them!Copy !req
799. You, what are you doing here?
You're a civilian.Copy !req
800. Yes, sir, I'm with
the Department of Def...Copy !req
801. I mean, the Navy Department.Copy !req
802. That's more like it.
What's going on here?Copy !req
803. I'm afraid I'm just
an observer here, sir.Copy !req
804. I couldn't tell you anything more
than you already know.Copy !req
805. What's happening here?Copy !req
806. Who are you people?Copy !req
807. Sir, when you're ready,
the Captain requestsCopy !req
808. that you and Miss Scott
join him in his inport cabin.Copy !req
809. Thank you.Copy !req
810. I'll wait outside
while you change.Copy !req
811. Please, I really don't want to
be left alone right now.Copy !req
812. I'll just be a minute.Copy !req
813. Just exactly what is it you do
for the senator, Miss Scott?Copy !req
814. I work for him, Commander.Copy !req
815. I'd like to think I'm more
than just a secretary.Copy !req
816. I write most of his speeches,
and in general, I'm his assistant.Copy !req
817. It's quite an accomplishment
for a woman in your day...Copy !req
818. this day and age.Copy !req
819. Let me tell you something.
I'm ambitious and very capable.Copy !req
820. That's a combination
that's not much appreciated.Copy !req
821. It's a man's world.
I'm sure you'll agree.Copy !req
822. It certainly is, Miss Scott.Copy !req
823. I spent a lot of time
trying to hide the way I lookCopy !req
824. hoping to be recognized
for my ability.Copy !req
825. - How's it going so far?
- Well, let me put it this way.Copy !req
826. If the way I look gets me in the door,
then God help them when I get through.Copy !req
827. You're a remarkable woman,
Miss Scott.Copy !req
828. Shall we?Copy !req
829. Yeah.Copy !req
830. Enemy fleet bears 042 degrees.Copy !req
831. Captain,
they bear 042 degreesCopy !req
832. range 182 miles,
course 180, speed 12.Copy !req
833. Very well.
Keep me advised.Copy !req
834. 35 degrees, 17 miles north,
northwest of Pearl.Copy !req
835. Laurel, are you all right?Copy !req
836. Miss Scott, I'm Matt Yelland,
skipper of this ship.Copy !req
837. Thank you for your hospitality,
CaptainCopy !req
838. but I insist you fly
Miss Scott and myselfCopy !req
839. to Pearl Harbor immediately.Copy !req
840. - Very well. Lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
841. Follow this officer. He'll see
that you're fully equippedCopy !req
842. and then escort you
to the hangar deck.Copy !req
843. Thank you, Captain.Copy !req
844. Laurel.Copy !req
845. - Charlie?
- Forget about the dog. He'll be all right.Copy !req
846. Wait a minute, Captain.
I think you're making a big mistake here.Copy !req
847. That man mysteriously disappeared
on December 7, 1941. That's today, sir.Copy !req
848. Now, at the present time, he
is the front-running candidateCopy !req
849. for the vice presidential spot
on the Democratic ticket in 1944.Copy !req
850. And if he survives,
he's almost certainCopy !req
851. to become the president
of the United StatesCopy !req
852. when Roosevelt dies
in April of 1945.Copy !req
853. Sir, don't you think he'd be a whole lot
safer to stay on the ship for the time being?Copy !req
854. Mr. Lasky, my job
is to make decisions here, nowCopy !req
855. not worry about what politician
may be in the White HouseCopy !req
856. four years from now, or 40 years ago.Copy !req
857. - But, sir...
- And right now,Copy !req
858. I don't like having
two civilians on my shipCopy !req
859. when I'm about to do battle.Copy !req
860. You've got three civilians.Copy !req
861. Mr. Lasky, you're free
to go with them if you like.Copy !req
862. Dick.Copy !req
863. Just got enough time to drop them off
on a deserted spot on this island.Copy !req
864. Not Pearl, sir?Copy !req
865. Hell, no. They'll be
a whole lot safer there.Copy !req
866. We'll equip them to look after
themselves till it's over.Copy !req
867. I'll feel a lot easier
with them off my hands.Copy !req
868. Yes, sir.Copy !req
869. Dick.Copy !req
870. Be sure you're back by 0700.Copy !req
871. I want my best man
commanding that strike force.Copy !req
872. Yes, sir.Copy !req
873. Now hear this.
Now hear this.Copy !req
874. All hands, stand byCopy !req
875. for special announcement
from the captain in 15 minutes.Copy !req
876. What are you doing here,
Mr. Lasky?Copy !req
877. I wanna go to
Pearl Harbor with you.Copy !req
878. Wait a minute.
You're not going to Pearl, are you?Copy !req
879. Do they know?Copy !req
880. No.Copy !req
881. Captain, enemy fleet 170 miles
north, northwest Pearl.Copy !req
882. The Japanese fleet now bears
055 degrees, 162 miles.Copy !req
883. - Look at all this ordnance.Copy !req
884. - Yeah, it's gotta be
the real thing.Copy !req
885. - Watch that wing tip!Copy !req
886. This is the captain.Copy !req
887. I'm speaking to every man
aboard this ship.Copy !req
888. In the past few hours,
many things have happenedCopy !req
889. but rumors
of nuclear attacksCopy !req
890. and a third world war
are totally untrue.Copy !req
891. We have no reason to believe
that any aggression has been takenCopy !req
892. against our homes
and families.Copy !req
893. I believe that what we have stumbled
across is not man-madeCopy !req
894. but a phenomenon of nature.Copy !req
895. One that
can't be explained.Copy !req
896. Now, this phenomenon is a storm
which the Nimitz went throughCopy !req
897. less than 18 hours ago.Copy !req
898. This storm has had some effect
on time as we know it.Copy !req
899. It created a portal,
a door into another era.Copy !req
900. Today is December 7, 1941.Copy !req
901. I'm sure we're all aware
of the significance of this dateCopy !req
902. and its place in history.Copy !req
903. We're about to fight a battle
that was lostCopy !req
904. before most of you
were born.Copy !req
905. This time,Copy !req
906. with God's help,
it's going to be different.Copy !req
907. Good luck.Copy !req
908. Hey, Charlie.Copy !req
909. Good boy.
Where you been hiding?Copy !req
910. You wanna come with me?
Come on, boy.Copy !req
911. Eagle Control, 736.Copy !req
912. E.T.A. destination
three minutes.Copy !req
913. All right, let's move it!Copy !req
914. This isn't Pearl Harbor!Copy !req
915. Following orders,
Commander?Copy !req
916. That's right, Senator.Copy !req
917. - Is Commander Owens
in the air yet?Copy !req
918. - No, sir.Copy !req
919. Let me know
the moment he's airborne.Copy !req
920. Yes, sir.Copy !req
921. Why didn't you
go with them?Copy !req
922. I wasn't invited.Copy !req
923. Skipper,
it's time to go.Copy !req
924. Then let's go...
to Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
925. You shoot that in here,
we're all going up.Copy !req
926. Then you better do what I say.
Take off. Now!Copy !req
927. Don't let it go off!Copy !req
928. - I lost it. I lost the helo!
- What?Copy !req
929. I tell you, I lost it.
It just disappeared from the scope.Copy !req
930. What the hell do you mean
it just disappeared?Copy !req
931. That's it, Captain.Copy !req
932. One second it was on the scope,
the next it was gone.Copy !req
933. Search party?Copy !req
934. It's too late. Officer of the deck,
turn the Nimitz into the wind.Copy !req
935. Aye, aye, Captain.Copy !req
936. - Launch aircraft.
- Yes, sir, Captain.Copy !req
937. That's it. Let's go. Cats, you got
green lights. Get 'em in the air!Copy !req
938. Victory 210,
this is Zulu-5-Bravo.Copy !req
939. Your vector 120.
Estimated time of intercept 0740. Over.Copy !req
940. Zulu-5-Bravo,
this is Victory 210.Copy !req
941. Nine minutes
to intercept.Copy !req
942. Sir, I think
you oughta see this.Copy !req
943. It suddenly appeared
behind us.Copy !req
944. I don't believe this.
It's starting again.Copy !req
945. Do you think
we can outrun it?Copy !req
946. Maybe we oughta be asking ourselves
should we even be trying to outrun it.Copy !req
947. Six minutes to intercept.Copy !req
948. Change course to 180.Copy !req
949. - All ahead, flank speed.
- Steady course 180.Copy !req
950. - Come to course 180, aye, sir.
- All ahead flank.Copy !req
951. - Indicate 125 R.P.M.
- All ahead flank, indicate 125 R.P.M.Copy !req
952. Zulu-5-Bravo,
this is Victory 210.Copy !req
953. I have enemy bandits on radar.
Approximately four minutes to intercept.Copy !req
954. 210, this is Zulu-5-Bravo.
You're cleared to arm.Copy !req
955. Sir, when we changed course,
the storm changed course.Copy !req
956. It's following us
and growing at the same time.Copy !req
957. I'm recalling those planes.Copy !req
958. - Wait a minute, sir. You can't do that.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
959. We've got an incredible
opportunity here.Copy !req
960. We know where all the mistakes
are gonna be made for the next 40 yearsCopy !req
961. and you've got the power
to correct them.Copy !req
962. You stay out of this.Copy !req
963. Scrub the mission.
Get those planes back.Copy !req
964. Your signal is Buster.
I say again, your signal is Buster.Copy !req
965. Read you loud and clear.Copy !req
966. Strike Force,
this is Strike Leader.Copy !req
967. Return to base.
Mission aborted.Copy !req
968. Mission aborted?
But we can see 'em?Copy !req
969. Shit, they're gonna
let the Japs do it again.Copy !req
970. This is the captain.
Now hear this, men.Copy !req
971. We've been through it once,
we're going through it again.Copy !req
972. Prepare for approaching storm.Copy !req
973. We interrupt this program
to bring you a special news bulletin.Copy !req
974. The enemy bombers appeared
over Pearl Harbor at about 7:55 a.m.Copy !req
975. A dawn attack.Copy !req
976. December 7, 1941...Copy !req
977. a date which will live
in infamy...Copy !req
978. - Any contact with our planes?
- No, sir.Copy !req
979. Keep trying.Copy !req
980. - Dan, get me a damage report.
- Right, Skipper.Copy !req
981. - Get a phone check with all stations.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
982. - You have control of the rudder.
- Bridge has control of the rudder, sir.Copy !req
983. - Very well.
- All stations who experienced contact.Copy !req
984. There they are!
Lo, on the horizon!Copy !req
985. Stand by to render honors
to port, U.S.S. Arizona.Copy !req
986. Attention to port.Copy !req
987. And salute.Copy !req
988. Two. Carry on.Copy !req
989. Pacific Fleet arriving.Copy !req
990. 3rd Fleet arriving.Copy !req
991. Carrier Group 8 arriving.Copy !req
992. Matt, what the hell's
going on here?Copy !req
993. Admiral, I don't know
where to begin.Copy !req
994. Aircraft carrier getting lost
in the Pacific Ocean.Copy !req
995. What kind of navy is this?Copy !req
996. He'll never believe it.Copy !req
997. Captain, the admirals
have departed.Copy !req
998. Thank you.Copy !req
999. You seem to have a 40-year-old dog
on your hands.Copy !req
1000. Yeah, you could say that.Copy !req
1001. - Good luck, Mr. Lasky.
- Thank you, Mr. Thurman. Good-bye.Copy !req
1002. You know, in a way, Captain,
I think we're lucky.Copy !req
1003. How's that?Copy !req
1004. At least we came back
to the same world we left.Copy !req
1005. Most of us have.Copy !req
1006. Did Commander Owens
have any family?Copy !req
1007. No one.Copy !req
1008. Lasky, you've been
a pain in the ass.Copy !req
1009. But I'm glad to have known you.Copy !req
1010. Thank you, Captain.
I appreciate that.Copy !req
1011. Good luck to you.Copy !req
1012. And you too.Copy !req
1013. Wait a minute, boy. Here, Charlie!
Charlie, come back here.Copy !req
1014. Mr. Lasky.Copy !req
1015. Mr. And Mrs. Tideman
would like you to join them.Copy !req
1016. Mr. Tideman?Copy !req
1017. Welcome back, Mr. Lasky.Copy !req
1018. - Laurel. Commander Owens.Copy !req
1019. - Please, join us.Copy !req
1020. - We have a lot to talk about.Copy !req
