1. I hope our new Commander-in-Chief
isn't the coward they say he is.Copy !req
2. Whatever they say, Yamamoto is
the kind of leader we need.Copy !req
3. He believes in the value
of the airplane.Copy !req
4. But why a Vice-Navy Minister
for such an important position?Copy !req
5. Maybe the climate in Tokyo was
detrimental to Yamamoto's health.Copy !req
6. The Army is against him for
opposing their policies.Copy !req
7. So he runs away to sea. Now he
has the entire fleet to guard him.Copy !req
8. This order makes you
Commander-in-Chief.Copy !req
9. The Imperial fleet consists of—Copy !req
10. Save your breath, Yoshida.
Those details are in the documents.Copy !req
11. You haven't changed!Copy !req
12. With the Army controlling politics...Copy !req
13. your job as Navy Minister
will be difficult.Copy !req
14. Thank God you're here.Copy !req
15. We know your life
has been threatened.Copy !req
16. I'm not that easy to kill.Copy !req
17. Army hotheads are demanding
an alliance with Germany.Copy !req
18. That would be tragic for Japan.Copy !req
19. As Navy Minister I will...Copy !req
20. continue to fight with the Army.Copy !req
21. You are our last hope, Yoshida.Copy !req
22. The Navy must stand firm
against the alliance.Copy !req
23. America is against the war
we are waging in China...Copy !req
24. and angry that we are
negotiating with the Germans.Copy !req
25. Now we are threatened with an embargo
of the raw materials we need.Copy !req
26. Either we improve relations with the U.S.
and withdraw from China...Copy !req
27. or find another source of
raw materials here in Indo-China.Copy !req
28. Why worry about threats
from America?Copy !req
29. President Roosevelt's attention
is on Europe...Copy !req
30. where Germany is winning a
quick victory over the Allied Armies.Copy !req
31. Now is the time to strike.Copy !req
32. The British, the Dutch and the French
are withdrawing their forces...Copy !req
33. from Southeast Asia to
strengthen their armies in Europe.Copy !req
34. We must be careful.Copy !req
35. The Americans have an Army
in the Philippines...Copy !req
36. and they have moved their Pacific
Fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
37. Yes, and that fleet is a knife
leveled at Japan's throat.Copy !req
38. The Japanese ambassador just arrived.
He should be up shortly.Copy !req
39. Thank you.Copy !req
40. The Japanese are stalling, Henry.Copy !req
41. You know that.Copy !req
42. When Nomura took over as ambassador...Copy !req
43. I had some hopes of settling
our differences.Copy !req
44. But our meetings so far
have been unproductive.Copy !req
45. He brings me proposals,
I offer compromises.Copy !req
46. He brings me counterproposals,
and so on.Copy !req
47. I tell you, Henry,
Nomura was sent here to buy time.Copy !req
48. That's what he's doing,
at our expense.Copy !req
49. The president believes him to be...Copy !req
50. a man we can trust and deal with.Copy !req
51. Mr. Ambassador, we meet again.Copy !req
52. It is always a pleasure.Copy !req
53. I assume you know Mr. Stimson,
the head of our War Department.Copy !req
54. Oh, yes, of course.Copy !req
55. Mr. Ambassador.Copy !req
56. I do hope, Mr. Stimson...Copy !req
57. your presence here
does not indicate anything ominous.Copy !req
58. Of course not, Mr. Nomura.Copy !req
59. Mr. Nomura, won't you please sit down?Copy !req
60. Thank you.Copy !req
61. Well, since our last talk
a week ago...Copy !req
62. I have received certain...Copy !req
63. shall we say...Copy !req
64. questions from my government...Copy !req
65. to put to you to clarify certain matters.Copy !req
66. Good morning, colonel.Copy !req
67. There it is.Copy !req
68. This machine lets us intercept
every word between Tokyo...Copy !req
69. and all Japanese embassies.Copy !req
70. The coded material is fed
into that machine.Copy !req
71. It goes round and round in there...Copy !req
72. and comes out here,
decoded in Japanese.Copy !req
73. All we have to do is translate it.Copy !req
74. We decode this quicker than
the Japanese embassy...Copy !req
75. right here in Washington.Copy !req
76. No wonder you decided to call it
"Operation Magic."Copy !req
77. - The latest intercept, sir.
- Thank you.Copy !req
78. Things are getting a little hotter
in the Pacific.Copy !req
79. As long as we're sharing
this assignment...Copy !req
80. take a look at this.Copy !req
81. Behold the 12 apostles.Copy !req
82. The chosen few are authorized
to see the magic intercepts.Copy !req
83. Hap Arnold, Chief of the Air Corps,
isn't on the list.Copy !req
84. No, and not one of our
overseas commanders.Copy !req
85. Excellent!Copy !req
86. Who is in command of
those torpedo planes?Copy !req
87. Lt. Commander Fuchida, sir,
from the carrier Akagi.Copy !req
88. Send him this message from me.Copy !req
89. "Congratulations on brilliant
torpedo attack."Copy !req
90. if we are forced into
a war with America...Copy !req
91. Japan's only hope...Copy !req
92. is to annihilate the American Pacific
fleet at the outset.Copy !req
93. I wonder if we could use
torpedo planes at Pearl Harbor?Copy !req
94. Stand by.Copy !req
95. Execute.Copy !req
96. Look at that entrance to the harbor.Copy !req
97. Sink one good-sized ship in the channel
and you've bottled up our whole fleet.Copy !req
98. You know as well as I do,
this harbor is a mousetrap.Copy !req
99. Fleet should have stayed
in San Diego where it belongs.Copy !req
100. I made the mistake to point
that out to Roosevelt.Copy !req
101. We're expected to obey orders.Copy !req
102. We're also expected to exercise
our own good judgment.Copy !req
103. I didn't ask for the job.Copy !req
104. Sorry, Kim, but this was my command,
and it's become habit...Copy !req
105. to worry about the security
of the fleet.Copy !req
106. The British, flying some old biplanes...Copy !req
107. torpedoed and sank three ltalian
battleships at Taranto.Copy !req
108. Harbor very much like this one.Copy !req
109. I share your concern, but CNO
doesn't think it can happen here.Copy !req
110. Why not?Copy !req
111. A torpedo dropped
from a plane plunges...Copy !req
112. to a depth of 75 feet or more
before it levels off.Copy !req
113. I know, and Pearl is only 40 feet deep.Copy !req
114. I'm still worried, Kim.Copy !req
115. Frankly, sir, I was stunned
when I heard of your proposal.Copy !req
116. You think the plan is reckless?Copy !req
117. You suggest using torpedo planes
against the American Fleet...Copy !req
118. but Pearl Harbor is
too shallow for that.Copy !req
119. Taranto is also a shallow harbor...Copy !req
120. but the British torpedoed and sank
three ltalian battleships there.Copy !req
121. I know as well as you do
that my plan is a gamble.Copy !req
122. And it's risky,
but we have no choice.Copy !req
123. What I need immediately is
a plan for such an attack.Copy !req
124. Then we should consult with Genda...Copy !req
125. the new Air Staff Officer on the Akagi,
a superb strategist.Copy !req
126. Yes, I remember Genda.
We'll talk to him.Copy !req
127. Glad to see you, Genda.Copy !req
128. So this is the new Zero?Copy !req
129. Type 21, with folding wings.Copy !req
130. This means we can carry
more fighters now.Copy !req
131. This Zero is fast, maneuverable
and has a long cruising range.Copy !req
132. Better than the Messerschmitt
or Spitfire?Copy !req
133. Definitely. I've seen both
in combat over London.Copy !req
134. You outrank me, so it must be true.Copy !req
135. Now that you're Staff Officer here,
things will be tough.Copy !req
136. You don't have to worry,
you won't be here.Copy !req
137. You're going to the Third Fleet
with a promotion.Copy !req
138. The Commander-in-Chief
must think you're good!Copy !req
139. Of course he does!
And I've got proof!Copy !req
140. Here is his telegram.
Want to read it?Copy !req
141. Ten-hut!Copy !req
142. Do the planes have to be
parked like that?Copy !req
143. Way at the edge of the field.Copy !req
144. Standard dispersal procedure, general.Copy !req
145. In case of enemy air attack.Copy !req
146. There are 130,000 Japanese
on this island.Copy !req
147. Our main problem is sabotage.Copy !req
148. It'd be too easy for enemies
to sneak in at night...Copy !req
149. and blow up every one of them
if they're left out there.Copy !req
150. Make a note, Fielder,
we'll have to make changes.Copy !req
151. Ten-hut.Copy !req
152. - Yes?
- Admiral Halsey's here to see you.Copy !req
153. Send him in, please.Copy !req
154. Blast me, break me, court-martial me,
draw and quarter me...Copy !req
155. if you think they're gonna
send my ships...Copy !req
156. on convoy duty in the Atlantic.Copy !req
157. Kim, I think they've
gone nuts in Washington.Copy !req
158. How will I fight
a task force if they send...Copy !req
159. my ships to the Atlantic?Copy !req
160. That damn ocean is a swimming hole
compared to the Pacific.Copy !req
161. What are we, a fighting fleet,
or are these toy boats out here...Copy !req
162. so the Japs
can buy them at Christmas?Copy !req
163. All right, Bill, now ease it off.
It's not just you.Copy !req
164. They asked for some
of our tankers too.Copy !req
165. How do they expect to feed
these wagons...Copy !req
166. parked out here on
this land-locked duck pond?Copy !req
167. You're still planning on rotating
half of them at sea?Copy !req
168. I was.Copy !req
169. Look, Kim, you've got to make them
understand what's going on out here.Copy !req
170. I'm gonna do everything I can, Bill.Copy !req
171. Even go to the president.Copy !req
172. By God, I knew there was
at least one man...Copy !req
173. in this man's Navy
who hadn't gone nuts.Copy !req
174. "Gandhi" is still in hiding, sir.Copy !req
175. A strange man, he works in his
cabin like a hermit.Copy !req
176. But he should be here.Copy !req
177. Watanabe, go and ask him
to join us.Copy !req
178. When "Gandhi" concentrates on
a plan, he is lost to this world.Copy !req
179. Please don't bother me!
This is important...Copy !req
180. so I'm not going.Copy !req
181. Genda's plan for attacking
Pearl Harbor...Copy !req
182. is foolproof. It's brilliant!Copy !req
183. He stresses the importance
of combat aircraft.Copy !req
184. Just think of it.Copy !req
185. We use six aircraft carriers...Copy !req
186. torpedo planes...Copy !req
187. high-level bombers, dive bombers.Copy !req
188. Zero fighters for cover...Copy !req
189. go by the northern route,
use the new torpedoes...Copy !req
190. we attack on a weekend.Copy !req
191. Genda has thought of everything...Copy !req
192. refueling...Copy !req
193. the weather...Copy !req
194. And we go on to say,
"It should be noted that Japan...Copy !req
195. has never preceded hostile action
by a declaration of war.Copy !req
196. We have concluded it possible
that a fast-rated...Copy !req
197. Japanese carrier force may arrive
in Hawaii with no prior warning...Copy !req
198. from our intelligence service.Copy !req
199. The most favorable time
to the enemy would be dawn.Copy !req
200. He probably would employ
a maximum of six carriers...Copy !req
201. strike on a weekend.Copy !req
202. - We recommend that the Air Corps—"
- I read it.Copy !req
203. Yes, sir.Copy !req
204. I appreciate the work that you
and General Martin have put in.Copy !req
205. These reports are very useful
to General Short and myself.Copy !req
206. General Martin, you don't pull
any punches, do you?Copy !req
207. "We recommend that the Air Corps...Copy !req
208. maintain a thorough
360-degree search...Copy !req
209. of the Hawaiian area during daylight.Copy !req
210. This will require a force
of 180 B-17 airplanes."Copy !req
211. We can't search the sea approaches
unless we have the planes, sir.Copy !req
212. One hundred and eighty B-17s?Copy !req
213. For God's sakes, that's more than
the number existing in the States.Copy !req
214. It looks fine on paper,
but that's not a paper fleet out there.Copy !req
215. Squadron from the Enterprise.Copy !req
216. Bill Halsey's working
the tails off his men.Copy !req
217. Wish we had more like him.Copy !req
218. Makes the most of what he's got.Copy !req
219. Doesn't keep asking for the moon.Copy !req
220. Well, not one bomb anywhere
near the target for the past hour.Copy !req
221. Your pilots can see it, I suppose.Copy !req
222. - Who's next?
- It's Anderson, sir.Copy !req
223. Now, that's more like it.Copy !req
224. - Maybe your boys finally get it.
- I hope so, sir.Copy !req
225. Who's next?Copy !req
226. Lieutenant Dickenson.Copy !req
227. Tell Lieutenant Dickenson for me...Copy !req
228. he couldn't hit a bull
in the butt with a bass fiddle.Copy !req
229. Yes, sir.Copy !req
230. Ten-hut.Copy !req
231. - Carry on.
- Carry on.Copy !req
232. This it?Copy !req
233. Yes, sir. Our new radar.Copy !req
234. It's a remarkable
scientific achievement...Copy !req
235. capable of spotting an intruder
on the sea or in the air...Copy !req
236. and at quite a range.Copy !req
237. Now, listen, colonel, as you know,
we're short on patrol planes.Copy !req
238. We're gonna have to rely on this...Copy !req
239. thing to detect the enemy.Copy !req
240. General, radar should do the job.Copy !req
241. What's it doing here, not set up?Copy !req
242. We're about to truck it up
that mountain.Copy !req
243. That peak up there is the ideal spot
to put our main radar post.Copy !req
244. At that height, we'd be clear
of all interference.Copy !req
245. Obviously.Copy !req
246. But, sir, we can't get permission
to put her up there.Copy !req
247. Permission?Copy !req
248. From the National Park Service
Department of lnterior.Copy !req
249. See, all of this belongs
to the Hawaiian National Park.Copy !req
250. The Hawaiian National Park?Copy !req
251. Yes, sir. The Wildlife Preservation
Society is raising hell too.Copy !req
252. And we can't get permission?Copy !req
253. No, sir.
Not unless we want to fight them.Copy !req
254. Fight them? You're damn right
we're gonna fight them.Copy !req
255. - Now you make a note of that, Fielder.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
256. Wildlife Preservation Society.Copy !req
257. I feel like a damn fool.Copy !req
258. Without even consulting me...Copy !req
259. our Army has decided
to occupy lndo-China.Copy !req
260. There is no hope for peace now.Copy !req
261. I've said it before
and I'll keep on saying it...Copy !req
262. if we fight the Americans, we can't
stop at Hawaii or San Francisco.Copy !req
263. We'll have to march
into Washington...Copy !req
264. and dictate peace terms
in the White House!Copy !req
265. Army hotheads who speak so lightly
of war should think about that!Copy !req
266. As I'm no longer Minister of the Navy,
I can do nothing.Copy !req
267. I'm sorry.Copy !req
268. Don't blame yourself.
The Army leaders are at fault, not you.Copy !req
269. I must get back to the fleet.
There is a lot to be done.Copy !req
270. It's no use, Hal.
I spoke to General Miles.Copy !req
271. He took it up with General Marshall.Copy !req
272. The order stands.
The president is off the ultra list.Copy !req
273. lncredible.Copy !req
274. Withholding information
from the president.Copy !req
275. Security found a copy of an intercept
in a waste basket at the White House.Copy !req
276. Truth is, the brass don't trust
some men close to the president.Copy !req
277. Does anyone trust anyone anymore?Copy !req
278. - Do you even trust your own wife?
- Do you?Copy !req
279. Come to think of it, I believe I do.Copy !req
280. Part two of No. 1390, colonel.Copy !req
281. Tokyo to embassies
in Washington and Berlin.Copy !req
282. Thank you, Miss Cave.Copy !req
283. The Japanese are moving south
to occupy French lndo-China.Copy !req
284. - This is big trouble.
- Yeah.Copy !req
285. Well, ultra list or not...Copy !req
286. someone has to tell
the president about this one.Copy !req
287. "Therefore, we will impose
a full embargo...Copy !req
288. on all trade with Japan.Copy !req
289. We do not anticipate immediate
hostile action by Japan...Copy !req
290. but you get this information...Copy !req
291. so you may take appropriate
precautionary measures."Copy !req
292. "Appropriate precautionary measures."Copy !req
293. What the hell does that mean?Copy !req
294. Now, this is signed jointly
by General Marshall and Admiral Stark.Copy !req
295. Until we know how the Japanese will react,
we're not gonna take chances.Copy !req
296. - We go on full alert.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
297. Stark says they don't anticipate
hostile action.Copy !req
298. Why send a warning at all?Copy !req
299. Damn it.Copy !req
300. Damn it, why can't Washington
give us the full inside story?Copy !req
301. I'd sooner form my own opinion.Copy !req
302. "Don't anticipate hostile action."Copy !req
303. Well, all right, we'll go ahead.Copy !req
304. lncrease air and sub patrols,
alert senior commanders.Copy !req
305. Maybe out of this we can find out
how well we can function.Copy !req
306. Kaminsky.Copy !req
307. This is Captain Earle.
Going on full alert.Copy !req
308. Yes, captain.Copy !req
309. We're going on full alert.Copy !req
310. Notify all ship, sub and air patrols.Copy !req
311. What the hell is going on here?Copy !req
312. What are you doing?Copy !req
313. Carrying out orders.
General Short's concern is sabotage.Copy !req
314. All aircraft not ready
for flight from now on...Copy !req
315. will be parked in the center...Copy !req
316. so they can be kept under guard.Copy !req
317. Suppose there's an air raid.Copy !req
318. They hit one plane,
and it all goes up in flames.Copy !req
319. I'm sorry. General's orders.Copy !req
320. Today's war games...Copy !req
321. of a theoretical attack
on Pearl Harbor...Copy !req
322. clearly show the need for
six carriers in the attack force.Copy !req
323. The General Staff...Copy !req
324. wants to limit us to only
three carriers.Copy !req
325. We must have six!Copy !req
326. if we reduce our striking force...Copy !req
327. from six carriers to only three...Copy !req
328. our mission will fail.Copy !req
329. Before attacking anything else,
we should attack our General Staff.Copy !req
330. We believe in aircraft,
but they cling to the ancient theory...Copy !req
331. that decisive naval engagements
must be fought between battleships.Copy !req
332. Unless we dispel this myth...Copy !req
333. we'll never get their approval.Copy !req
334. They are not the only believers
in the "battleship theory."Copy !req
335. Many officers here today
also support the idea.Copy !req
336. I'm one of them. We'll soon have
two new unsinkable battlewagons...Copy !req
337. each with a displacement of
64,000 tons and huge guns.Copy !req
338. Anything that floats can be sunk!
The "unsinkable" ship is a myth.Copy !req
339. The war in Europe is being
decided by the airplane.Copy !req
340. There can be no victory on land or sea,
without control of the air!Copy !req
341. I have been chosen to command
this task force.Copy !req
342. And I consider this operation risky.Copy !req
343. How can we travel 3500 miles
to Hawaii without being detected?Copy !req
344. This mission will fail unless
we achieve complete surprise.Copy !req
345. My ships can't carry fuel
for a trip there and back.Copy !req
346. Stopping to refuel increases
the possibility of detection.Copy !req
347. I am confident that our ships
will reach Hawaii safely.Copy !req
348. You are too cautious. The case
for using six carriers is sound.Copy !req
349. To criticize the plan is defeatist!Copy !req
350. No more bickering! As long
as I am Commander-in-Chief...Copy !req
351. Pearl Harbor will be attacked!Copy !req
352. I am aware that this is
a dangerous gamble.Copy !req
353. But we can't afford the luxury
of playing it safe now!Copy !req
354. Gentlemen, whether we adopt this
plan or not is no longer an issue.Copy !req
355. Let us now decide how best
to carry it out.Copy !req
356. Fuchida's back! Fuchida's back!Copy !req
357. Fuchida! What a surprise!Copy !req
358. I'm your new Air Commander,
so treat me well.Copy !req
359. You're joking. How did you
rate another promotion?Copy !req
360. Well, exceptional people get
exceptional treatment!Copy !req
361. This ship is crawling with Admirals.Copy !req
362. Something important
must be happening.Copy !req
363. We have called you here...Copy !req
364. to explain the purpose of
a new training program.Copy !req
365. This, of course, is a matter
of strictest secrecy.Copy !req
366. It looks just like Pearl Harbor,
doesn't it?Copy !req
367. And that area down there
looks like Ford lsland, eh?Copy !req
368. Beautiful!Copy !req
369. Navy pilots attract geisha girls
but they frighten the fish.Copy !req
370. It's not an ideal radar sight,
but at least we got a permit.Copy !req
371. Let's get the other units working.Copy !req
372. Easier said than done.Copy !req
373. What do you mean?Copy !req
374. We have to get all six units adjusted
and link them by phone to headquarters.Copy !req
375. That means training men to operate
an information center...Copy !req
376. so they know what to do
with the information.Copy !req
377. Take it easy, Murph.Copy !req
378. - You'll figure it out.
- Yeah, I'll figure it out.Copy !req
379. Don't just stand there.Copy !req
380. You know how to operate this thing.Copy !req
381. We know the theory.Copy !req
382. Let's put that theory into practice.Copy !req
383. - Switch on.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
384. Stay put and keep watching the screen.Copy !req
385. In two hours, close down.
I'll send a truck to pick you up.Copy !req
386. Excuse me, sir,
but what are we watching for?Copy !req
387. Anything unusual.Copy !req
388. Any large blip coming from the sea.Copy !req
389. Colonel, if we do spot something,
what do we do?Copy !req
390. Report it to headquarters, damn it.Copy !req
391. - How, sir?
- What?Copy !req
392. We haven't got a telephone, sir.Copy !req
393. There's a gas station
a mile down the road.Copy !req
394. They must have a phone.Copy !req
395. We got 183 combat planes
on this base, general.Copy !req
396. The way they're parked now, a one-eyed
monkey hanging from a balloon...Copy !req
397. could scatter them to hell
with one hand grenade.Copy !req
398. Don't blame me.
General Short gave the order.Copy !req
399. Come in.Copy !req
400. - Sir, Lieutenants Taylor and Welch.
- Okay, send them in.Copy !req
401. You two men get in your planes
and fly over to Haleiwa.Copy !req
402. Yes, sir.Copy !req
403. What are our orders when we get there?Copy !req
404. Just sit tight.Copy !req
405. Listen for the phone. That's all.Copy !req
406. - Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
407. Haleiwa is one
of the subsidiary fields.Copy !req
408. We send those two up there,
two more here.Copy !req
409. Only way I know to disperse
a few of the planes.Copy !req
410. if I'd get away with it,
I'd send all to the neighbor islands.Copy !req
411. - You know why we're being transferred.
- Them poker games.Copy !req
412. Been winning too often.Copy !req
413. Yeah.Copy !req
414. Some sucker loses his shirt,
so he bitches to the general.Copy !req
415. It's hard to believe
the Emperor agreed...Copy !req
416. to fix a date by which the
final decision must be made...Copy !req
417. between war and peace.Copy !req
418. His majesty's signature
is a mere formality.Copy !req
419. The cabinet is responsible for
all matters of national policy.Copy !req
420. The Emperor recently read a poem
to his Ministers to show how he feels.Copy !req
421. "if all people are brethren...Copy !req
422. then why are the winds
and the waves so restless?"Copy !req
423. "if all people are brethren...Copy !req
424. then why are the winds
and the waves so restless?"Copy !req
425. This clearly shows how much
the Emperor wants to avoid a war.Copy !req
426. Yes, he has urged us to solve our
differences with Washington.Copy !req
427. But, sir, the deadline is October.
Can a solution be found by then?Copy !req
428. Perhaps. But if we fail...Copy !req
429. if war does come...Copy !req
430. tell me frankly,
from the Navy's viewpoint...Copy !req
431. what are our chances
against the Americans?Copy !req
432. if we must, we can raise havoc
with them for a year.Copy !req
433. After that, I can guarantee nothing.Copy !req
434. Mr. Prime Minister, I hope you
will continue the negotiations.Copy !req
435. Please remember, there is
no last word in diplomacy.Copy !req
436. Tokyo has ignored
my repeated inquiries...Copy !req
437. and still has made no reply...Copy !req
438. to the compromise proposals
offered by Secretary Hull.Copy !req
439. The war that I have dreaded
for so long...Copy !req
440. may soon become a reality.Copy !req
441. Nomura has offered
his resignation several times.Copy !req
442. But Tokyo won't let him quit.Copy !req
443. lnstead they're sending a second
ambassador, Kurusu, to help him out.Copy !req
444. Do you really think
this Kurusu can do any good?Copy !req
445. Well, I doubt it, Frank.Copy !req
446. He's hardly the most tactful choice.Copy !req
447. When he was ambassador in Berlin...Copy !req
448. he signed the Axis Pact
on behalf of Japan.Copy !req
449. You will sail from Hittakopu Bay
on November 26 under my strict orders.Copy !req
450. The code, "Climb Mt. Niitaka"
will be confirmation to go on.Copy !req
451. We have tentatively set
the date for the attack...Copy !req
452. on Sunday, December 7th,
Hawaiian time.Copy !req
453. But you must understand that we
are still negotiating in Washington.Copy !req
454. if a peaceful solution is found...Copy !req
455. the fleet will be recalled at once.Copy !req
456. Once at sea, to turn back
would be a disgrace!Copy !req
457. It would destroy the morale of the men!Copy !req
458. They're in a high state of readiness,
physically and psychologically.Copy !req
459. Enough! if any commander is inclined
to reject an order to return...Copy !req
460. when the path for peace is open...Copy !req
461. let him resign now!Copy !req
462. Finally, gentlemen...Copy !req
463. many misinformed Japanese...Copy !req
464. believe that America is a
nation divided, isolationist...Copy !req
465. and that Americans are
only interested...Copy !req
466. in enjoying a life of luxury...Copy !req
467. and are spiritually
and morally corrupt.Copy !req
468. But that is a great mistake.Copy !req
469. if war becomes inevitable...Copy !req
470. America would be the most formidable
foe that we have ever fought.Copy !req
471. I've lived in Washington
and studied at Harvard...Copy !req
472. so I know the Americans are
a proud and just people.Copy !req
473. - You sick or something?
- No.Copy !req
474. I've been piecing together
this batch of new intercepts.Copy !req
475. A frightening picture is taking shape.Copy !req
476. Ambassadors Nomura and Kurusu
asked their government...Copy !req
477. to extend a deadline for suspending
negotiation between Japan and America.Copy !req
478. - You remember that?
- Yeah.Copy !req
479. Now, according to this latest
intercept...Copy !req
480. Tokyo wants to conclude
negotiations with us...Copy !req
481. no later than November 29...Copy !req
482. after which, and I quote:Copy !req
483. "Things are automatically
going to happen."Copy !req
484. Now, look at this intelligence report
from the British.Copy !req
485. Five Japanese troop transports
with naval escort...Copy !req
486. were sighted off Formosa,
heading south.Copy !req
487. We've been monitoring their fleet.
Most of it seems to be on home waters.Copy !req
488. I'm not so sure.Copy !req
489. I'd make a bet they're going to attack us.Copy !req
490. Japan is going to attack us.Copy !req
491. The 29th is only four days off.Copy !req
492. The 30th is on a Sunday.Copy !req
493. We're gonna be attacked on Sunday,
the 30th of November.Copy !req
494. The pieces fit together.Copy !req
495. But can you prove it?Copy !req
496. No. But I'm convinced I'm right.Copy !req
497. Miss Cave? Get me General Marshall.Copy !req
498. General Marshall's at Fort Benning, sir.Copy !req
499. Then get me the secretary of war.Copy !req
500. I've got the evidence, Al.Copy !req
501. And I'm gonna make the brass
around here admit I'm right.Copy !req
502. Bratton's analysis makes sense.Copy !req
503. His facts are undeniable.Copy !req
504. Henry, I'm washing my hands
of the whole matter.Copy !req
505. From now on, it's in your hands...Copy !req
506. and in those
of the Navy Department.Copy !req
507. I'll call the president.Copy !req
508. A message declaring a full alert
will be sent out.Copy !req
509. Sir, General Marshall anticipated
an emergency like this.Copy !req
510. Before he left to attend maneuvers...Copy !req
511. he made out this alert order.Copy !req
512. As you know, after the Cabinet
decided to send Japan to war...Copy !req
513. they held an lmperial Conference
at the palace.Copy !req
514. His Majesty, who participated
in this conference...Copy !req
515. which is a mere formality...Copy !req
516. was depressed and silent
all through the meeting.Copy !req
517. Today His Majesty will ask
the customary questions about the war...Copy !req
518. and you will make
the traditional replies.Copy !req
519. There can be no more tragic ritual
than this conversation...Copy !req
520. between His Majesty
who does not want war...Copy !req
521. and Your Excellency,
who has opposed it so vigorously.Copy !req
522. As Minister of the lmperial Household...Copy !req
523. I am not allowed to attend this ritual.Copy !req
524. Fortunately for me...Copy !req
525. I won't have to witness
this tragic ceremony.Copy !req
526. I can go no farther.Copy !req
527. The Military Attaché will
take you from here.Copy !req
528. Sir, a message!Copy !req
529. "From Admiral Yamamoto,
Commander-in-Chief, Combined Fleet...Copy !req
530. to Admiral Nagumo, Third Fleet...Copy !req
531. climb Mount Niitaka."Copy !req
532. Hostilities will begin
on December 7th...Copy !req
533. exactly as scheduled.Copy !req
534. Read this back to me.Copy !req
535. "Japanese future action unpredictable.Copy !req
536. But hostile action possible
at any moment.Copy !req
537. if hostilities cannot be avoided...Copy !req
538. the United States desires that
Japan commit the first overt act."Copy !req
539. Read that again.Copy !req
540. "if hostilities cannot be avoided,
the United States desires...Copy !req
541. that Japan commit the first overt act.Copy !req
542. This shouldn't be construed
as restricting you...Copy !req
543. to a course of action
jeopardizing your defense.Copy !req
544. Prior to hostile Japanese action...Copy !req
545. you are directed to undertake
reconnaissance...Copy !req
546. and other measures
as you deem necessary.Copy !req
547. These measures should be carried out
so as not to alarm the civil population...Copy !req
548. or disclose intent.Copy !req
549. By order of General George C. Marshall."Copy !req
550. "Not to alarm the civil population."Copy !req
551. What do you make of it?Copy !req
552. Well, if you ask me, sir, it's double talk.Copy !req
553. But the chief of staff doesn't go in
for double talk.Copy !req
554. - We're going on alert.
- Again?Copy !req
555. But the men are confused.
So many alerts.Copy !req
556. - Damn it, unconfuse them.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
557. "Japanese forces may attack
the Philippines...Copy !req
558. Thailand, the Kra Peninsula
and Borneo.Copy !req
559. This dispatch is to be considered
a war warning."Copy !req
560. Well, there it is, gentlemen.Copy !req
561. You now have
as much information as I do.Copy !req
562. That's the second warning
in three days.Copy !req
563. "Japanese forces may attack
the Philippines...Copy !req
564. Thailand, the Kra Peninsula
and Borneo."Copy !req
565. They don't mention us.Copy !req
566. That's correct. I think it should be
considered significant.Copy !req
567. Well, gentlemen...Copy !req
568. we have a job to do.Copy !req
569. Washington wants us to send
a squadron of fighters to Midway.Copy !req
570. And another squadron to Wake.Copy !req
571. When can you sail?Copy !req
572. Well, the Enterprise can sail
tomorrow morning.Copy !req
573. I'll need a day or two. We're just
completing repairs on the Lexington.Copy !req
574. Hurry things along, John.Copy !req
575. I want you out there to probe.Copy !req
576. I want planes up in the air
morning and afternoon.Copy !req
577. I want a report on any sign
of hostile ships.Copy !req
578. Understood.Copy !req
579. Do you want battleships along?Copy !req
580. Hell, no. They're too slow.Copy !req
581. if we're gonna probe, let's probe.Copy !req
582. We don't want anything holding us up.Copy !req
583. You're right, but I'm not ready
to commit them myself.Copy !req
584. Not until I know when and where.Copy !req
585. Do you plan to keep half the fleet
at sea while the carriers are gone?Copy !req
586. No, it's too risky.Copy !req
587. I'll have to keep the fleet
here at Pearl while you're away.Copy !req
588. Get out. Get back as soon as you can.Copy !req
589. I don't like the idea of having my
battleships without air cover.Copy !req
590. - Let's get going.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
591. Admiral.Copy !req
592. Kim.Copy !req
593. Level with me.Copy !req
594. I want a clear directive.Copy !req
595. if I run into a Jap ship,
what action do I take?Copy !req
596. Use your common sense.Copy !req
597. That's the best damn order I ever had.Copy !req
598. if I see so much as a sampan there...Copy !req
599. I'll blow it out of the water.Copy !req
600. "lntelligence Report,
U.S. ships now at Pearl Harbor...Copy !req
601. six battleships, three light cruisers...Copy !req
602. 16 destroyers and one
aircraft carrier."Copy !req
603. No information about
the other American carriers.Copy !req
604. You know today's date?Copy !req
605. December 1st.Copy !req
606. Yes, but tonight will be November 30th.Copy !req
607. When we cross
the lnternational Date Line...Copy !req
608. we'll push the clock ahead five hours...Copy !req
609. and turn the calendar back a full day,
making today yesterday.Copy !req
610. Don't be silly!
Today can't change into yesterday!Copy !req
611. You're not too intelligent
but I'll try to explain...Copy !req
612. so listen carefully.
It's a little before 1300 hours, right?Copy !req
613. So why are we making supper
at this hour?Copy !req
614. 1300? It should be lunchtime.Copy !req
615. Right! And the Date Line makes up
for that time difference...Copy !req
616. by turning today into yesterday.Copy !req
617. I don't quite understand, but if we
see the enemy across that line...Copy !req
618. I guess it would be useless
to shoot at them.Copy !req
619. Because how can today's shells
hit yesterday's enemy?Copy !req
620. What is it this time,
getting me over here?Copy !req
621. Tokyo has alerted their embassy
to stand by...Copy !req
622. for a very long message in 14 parts.Copy !req
623. Look, Rufe, you scared me
and everybody else last week.Copy !req
624. We're not doing that again, are we?Copy !req
625. You should see this.Copy !req
626. It's the latest report on those
Japanese troop transports.Copy !req
627. Remember those troop ships?Copy !req
628. They're still heading south
with an escort...Copy !req
629. only 14 hours
from the coast of Malaya.Copy !req
630. What about their aircraft carriers?Copy !req
631. We don't know.Copy !req
632. lntelligence was keeping track
of them until recently.Copy !req
633. Now we've lost them.Copy !req
634. Look, Rufe, try to put yourself
in their minds.Copy !req
635. Where do you think I have been
the past week, night and day?Copy !req
636. I am still convinced
they're going to attack us.Copy !req
637. What can we do that we
aren't doing already?Copy !req
638. I don't know about you,
but I know what I'm gonna do.Copy !req
639. Where is everybody?Copy !req
640. Oh, it's past 12, sir.
They've already gone.Copy !req
641. - Get them back.
- On the weekend?Copy !req
642. Yes, on the weekend.Copy !req
643. "Only specially screened members
of your communications staff...Copy !req
644. are to be permitted to process
the 14-part message...Copy !req
645. and prepare the typed translation."Copy !req
646. It will be difficult without
the help of a skilled typist.Copy !req
647. The situation right now
is extremely delicate.Copy !req
648. We must be prepared...Copy !req
649. to have each part of the message
decoded as soon as it comes in.Copy !req
650. I'll alert the code room.Copy !req
651. We'll reach Point D soon, sir.Copy !req
652. From Point D proceed to Point E.
Battle speed.Copy !req
653. So this is the sound of Hawaii?Copy !req
654. Disappointing news, our main targets,
the American carriers...Copy !req
655. have left Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
656. This completes 13 parts?Copy !req
657. Yes, Tokyo is holding
the final part till morning.Copy !req
658. I wonder why.Copy !req
659. It's almost 9.Copy !req
660. Harry, I'm going to make the rounds
with what we have here.Copy !req
661. Thank God the president's
back on the list.Copy !req
662. Have Brotherhood call me
when the missing part is in.Copy !req
663. Right.Copy !req
664. You're late.Copy !req
665. - Well, I was—
- Please, take me to the White House.Copy !req
666. if you told me we were invited
to the White House, I would've dressed.Copy !req
667. You know Mrs. Roosevelt.Copy !req
668. She's informal personally,
but a stickler for protocol—Copy !req
669. Darling, will you shut up and drive?Copy !req
670. Once more!Copy !req
671. Steady.Copy !req
672. Great! We just sank the Nevada!Copy !req
673. Pennsylvania!Copy !req
674. Oklahoma!Copy !req
675. No, you idiot!
It's your own flagship!Copy !req
676. Well?Copy !req
677. Captain Wilkinson's.Copy !req
678. Did you see the president?Copy !req
679. No, I saw Harry Hopkins.Copy !req
680. And did he read the whatever it is?Copy !req
681. No, he doesn't have the key.Copy !req
682. I gave the pouch to our Naval aide,
Lieutenant Schulz.Copy !req
683. He took it in to the president.Copy !req
684. And the president has a key,
I suppose?Copy !req
685. Of course he has.Copy !req
686. And did Lieutenant Schulz
say anything?Copy !req
687. He said, "Thank you."Copy !req
688. Darling, step on it, will you?Copy !req
689. if we can see nothing, then neither
can American patrol planes.Copy !req
690. I'm more concerned about
a submarine detecting us.Copy !req
691. Dead on schedule.Copy !req
692. Admiral Stark can't be reached.
Should I take it to chief of staff?Copy !req
693. It's after 10, General Marshall
always retires early.Copy !req
694. I see no reason to disturb Marshall
with something that's incomplete.Copy !req
695. - Wait till you have the final part.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
696. if you're so concerned...Copy !req
697. why don't we call chief of war plans,
Admiral Turner?Copy !req
698. His telephone doesn't answer, sir.Copy !req
699. - You don't happen to know where he is?
- No idea.Copy !req
700. The president has already
discussed it with me.Copy !req
701. He sent a personal message
to the emperor.Copy !req
702. But when the final part of this
comes in, I'd like to see it then.Copy !req
703. - Good night, commander.
- Good night, sir.Copy !req
704. I was starved. I'll bet you are.Copy !req
705. Oh, thank you, dear.Copy !req
706. Can't you tell me anything?Copy !req
707. Even a hint?Copy !req
708. You'd think the world was falling apart.Copy !req
709. Admiral Stark talked to the president.Copy !req
710. What did the president say?Copy !req
711. He sent a personal message
to the emperor.Copy !req
712. Gordy.Copy !req
713. We got those B-17s coming in
from California in the morning.Copy !req
714. Honolulu radio will stay on
the air all night...Copy !req
715. so the planes can home in.Copy !req
716. You and I had better be in that
control tower at 7:30 sharp.Copy !req
717. Yes, sir.Copy !req
718. - Tyler, I've got a job for you.
- Sir.Copy !req
719. Report to the new radar center
at Fort Shafter at 0400.Copy !req
720. At 4:00 in the morning?Copy !req
721. From 4 to 7 a.m.Copy !req
722. Our marvel of science
only operates for three hours.Copy !req
723. Lucky boy. Lucky boy!Copy !req
724. Captain, how's it feel?
First command, first patrol.Copy !req
725. Just fine, Mr. Young.Copy !req
726. In fact, I think I'll turn in for a while.Copy !req
727. - Good night, sir.
- Good night.Copy !req
728. The Commander-in-Chief
has sent a message...Copy !req
729. wishing us good luck.Copy !req
730. That, plus the lmperial Proclamation...Copy !req
731. has undoubtedly stirred
your loyalty to the Empire.Copy !req
732. The success of this mission...Copy !req
733. depends on surprise.
if we achieve it...Copy !req
734. the code words "Tora, Tora, Tora,"
will be sent out.Copy !req
735. Now that the hour for battle
draws near...Copy !req
736. I will not burden you
with the usual pep talk.Copy !req
737. Instead I shall hoist
the famous "Z" flag...Copy !req
738. beneath which, Commander-in-Chief
Togo led his fleet to victory...Copy !req
739. in the historic battle
against the Russians.Copy !req
740. Here you are.Copy !req
741. Kramer.Copy !req
742. Al, listen to this.Copy !req
743. The 14th part.Copy !req
744. "Will the ambassadors please
submit our reply...Copy !req
745. to the United States government
at precisely 1 p.m...Copy !req
746. December 7th, your time."Copy !req
747. 1 p.m.?Copy !req
748. "Precisely 1 p.m., your time."Copy !req
749. I'll be right over.Copy !req
750. Look at the president's message.
I should have had it hours ago.Copy !req
751. As you know, communications
have been delayed...Copy !req
752. and frequently garbled lately.Copy !req
753. Or deliberately interfered with.Copy !req
754. Gene, call the foreign minister.Copy !req
755. Tell him I want an immediate
audience with the emperor.Copy !req
756. Why is this so important?Copy !req
757. Does this Roosevelt message
say anything new?Copy !req
758. It merely proposes
a heart-to-heart exchange...Copy !req
759. between the two Chiefs of State.Copy !req
760. It could start negotiations afresh.Copy !req
761. It's too late for that.Copy !req
762. It's just as well the message
didn't come a day or two earlier.Copy !req
763. What do I tell Ambassador Grew?Copy !req
764. You are Foreign Minister!Copy !req
765. Report to the palace alone
with the message.Copy !req
766. "After deciphering...Copy !req
767. part 14...Copy !req
768. destroy at once...Copy !req
769. your cipher machine...Copy !req
770. all codes...Copy !req
771. and secret documents."Copy !req
772. Translate this immediately.Copy !req
773. - Give a copy to Kramer when he comes.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
774. I've got to get the hell out of here.Copy !req
775. Hey, look at this.Copy !req
776. Finally got one.Copy !req
777. Communication center.Copy !req
778. It even works.Copy !req
779. That's great.Copy !req
780. Opana Point, communications check.Copy !req
781. Are you reading us?Copy !req
782. Coming in loud and clear.Copy !req
783. Where's the general?Copy !req
784. It's Sunday, sir.Copy !req
785. This is Colonel Bratton.Copy !req
786. Connect me with Chief of Staff,
General Marshall.Copy !req
787. Yes, at his quarters, Fort Myer.Copy !req
788. Chief of staff's quarters,
Sergeant Aguirre speaking.Copy !req
789. Yes, Colonel Bratton.Copy !req
790. I'm sorry, sir, the general isn't here.Copy !req
791. Where he always is
this time Sunday morning.Copy !req
792. - Where's Colonel Bratton?
- Gone to see General Marshall.Copy !req
793. He left this for you, sir.Copy !req
794. Here is another part of the message, sir.Copy !req
795. We are instructed to submit
the message at 1:00 p.m. today.Copy !req
796. One p.m.?Copy !req
797. The 14th part of this intercept
Kramer just delivered...Copy !req
798. indicates to me
the Japanese are going to attack.Copy !req
799. None of us doubt war is coming.Copy !req
800. We know they have
an expeditionary force heading south.Copy !req
801. Sir, as hostilities seem imminent...Copy !req
802. I recommend you telephone
Admiral Kimmel...Copy !req
803. in Hawaii.Copy !req
804. No.Copy !req
805. I better call the president first.Copy !req
806. Now, if you'll all please excuse me?Copy !req
807. - Yes, sir.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
808. The men are in good spirits, sir.
They are eager to go.Copy !req
809. Yes, they are eager because they
do not know the taste of battle.Copy !req
810. The mechanics asked me to give you
this for good luck at Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
811. Bring her into the wind.Copy !req
812. "The Japanese government regrets
to have to notify...Copy !req
813. the American government...Copy !req
814. that, in view of the attitude
of the American government...Copy !req
815. it is impossible to reach...Copy !req
816. an agreement
through negotiations."Copy !req
817. Sir?Copy !req
818. - There are supplemental messages.
- Thank you.Copy !req
819. Gentlemen, I am convinced
the Japanese intend to attack...Copy !req
820. at or shortly after 1:00 today.Copy !req
821. - I'll alert all Pacific commands.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
822. Colonel Bratton, just a minute.Copy !req
823. Take this to communications center.Copy !req
824. We will follow that ship
into Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
825. Come in.Copy !req
826. Captain, can you come to the bridge?Copy !req
827. Very well.Copy !req
828. Sub contact, Mr. Goepner?Copy !req
829. - We're not sure.
- What ship?Copy !req
830. The Navy tug Antares.Copy !req
831. Look astern of her, captain.Copy !req
832. She's towing a target raft.Copy !req
833. Look between the ship
and the raft, sir.Copy !req
834. That, Mr. Goepner, is a submarine.Copy !req
835. She's sneaking through the net
into the harbor. General Quarters.Copy !req
836. - Sound General Quarters.
- All engines ahead, full.Copy !req
837. - Come left 15 degrees.
- Come left 15 degrees, sir.Copy !req
838. - Tell Antares we're attacking.
- Aye, aye, sir.Copy !req
839. Flags, tell Antares we're attacking.Copy !req
840. - Mount one, commence firing.

on a sub in our security zone.Copy !req
845. Aye, aye, sir.Copy !req
846. Captain Earle speaking.Copy !req
847. - We have a message from the ward.
- All right, read it to me.Copy !req
848. "Have dropped depth charges on sub
operating in our security zone."Copy !req
849. We've had so many of these
false sightings, Kaminsky.Copy !req
850. But this is the real thing, sir.Copy !req
851. Closer than any previous sighting.Copy !req
852. Just off the harbor entrance.Copy !req
853. You and I know the skipper
of that destroyer is a green kid.Copy !req
854. I'll pass it to Admiral Block.Copy !req
855. With all due respect, sir, I think
we should alert all commanders.Copy !req
856. Confirmation, Kaminsky.
I want confirmation.Copy !req
857. The sunburst reminds me
of our flag, a good omen.Copy !req
858. Ed, this is hot.Copy !req
859. General Marshall wants it sent to
all commanders by the fastest route.Copy !req
860. Right.Copy !req
861. The general's handwriting,
it's hard to read.Copy !req
862. You're gonna have to help me
with it, Rufe.Copy !req
863. Hey, I'm picking up Honolulu
on the radio.Copy !req
864. Check your direction-finder dial.Copy !req
865. It's coming from five degrees
to port, sir.Copy !req
866. Okay, keep riding that beam.Copy !req
867. Major, I picked up
some great music from Honolulu.Copy !req
868. That's fine, pipe it through.Copy !req
869. Okay.Copy !req
870. Where's the damn chow truck?Copy !req
871. Shut the thing down, George.
It's already after 7.Copy !req
872. Hey, Joe, come here.Copy !req
873. What do you make of that?Copy !req
874. I've been watching it for minutes.Copy !req
875. It's moving in, fast.Copy !req
876. I've never seen anything that big.Copy !req
877. - Looks like two main pulses.
- Hey, Joe, I got it.Copy !req
878. I make that about 140 miles north,
three degrees east.Copy !req
879. Don't make sense,
we got no planes out that far.Copy !req
880. We gotta contact
the information center.Copy !req
881. Our problem is over at 7:00.Copy !req
882. The center might make
some sense out of it.Copy !req
883. Okay, suit yourself.Copy !req
884. lnformation center.Copy !req
885. Yeah? I don't know, Mac,
we're all closed down here.Copy !req
886. Is that right? Hang on a minute.Copy !req
887. Lieutenant, sir.Copy !req
888. Lieutenant Tyler.Copy !req
889. Sir, this is Private Elliot, Opana Point.Copy !req
890. There's a large formation
of planes coming in...Copy !req
891. 140 miles, three degrees east.Copy !req
892. Yeah?Copy !req
893. Well, don't worry about it.Copy !req
894. The boys at Opana Point must have
picked up the B-17s...Copy !req
895. coming in from the mainland.Copy !req
896. - He said not to worry about it.
- Come on, let's go eat.Copy !req
897. Colonel, I sent this to Manila,
the canal zone and San Francisco...Copy !req
898. but the direct channel
to Hawaii is out.Copy !req
899. Atmospherics again?Copy !req
900. Yes, sir, it's real bad today.Copy !req
901. We could give it to the Navy.Copy !req
902. What makes you think
their atmospherics are better?Copy !req
903. - Send it as a telegram.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
904. Our ultimatum should be delivered in
Washington before the attack begins.Copy !req
905. I hope everything is on schedule.Copy !req
906. Don't worry, sir.
The Emperor insists...Copy !req
907. that we follow the rules
of the Geneva Convention.Copy !req
908. Our declaration of war
will be delivered...Copy !req
909. at 1:00 p.m.,
30 minutes before the attack begins.Copy !req
910. The typing still isn't finished.Copy !req
911. We'll have to postpone our 1:00
appointment with Secretary Hull.Copy !req
912. Do you mean a submarine was
sighted over half an hour ago...Copy !req
913. and that it's taken
this long to report it to me?Copy !req
914. I don't care if it
still hasn't been confirmed.Copy !req
915. I should've been informed after
the ward radioed a first report.Copy !req
916. A submarine that close is a serious matter.
A very serious matter.Copy !req
917. Get the confirmation,
all the reports to my office.Copy !req
918. I mean, right now.
Have my driver get the car.Copy !req
919. Aye, aye, sir. Oh, sir...Copy !req
920. should I tell General Short
you'll miss the golf date?Copy !req
921. No, damn it, get my car.Copy !req
922. A message for the general
at Fort Shafter.Copy !req
923. - Is it marked urgent?
- No.Copy !req
924. It's a little bumpy, Davey...Copy !req
925. but you have to fly
in all kinds of weather.Copy !req
926. Sure, Miss Fort.Copy !req
927. Don't let the nose drop.Copy !req
928. That's better. You're doing just fine.Copy !req
929. I'm taking over, Davey.Copy !req
930. Warrant Officer Mizuki,
signal all planes, "prepare to attack."Copy !req
931. A signal from Fuchida,
"objective sighted, preparing to attack."Copy !req
932. Everything is strangely quiet.Copy !req
933. The American anti-aircraft
batteries haven't fired a shot!Copy !req
934. And no enemy fighters
over the harbor, sir!Copy !req
935. We've done it!Copy !req
936. Send the message:
"Tora! Tora! Tora!"Copy !req
937. "Tora! Tora! Tora!"Copy !req
938. Stand by.Copy !req
939. Execute.Copy !req
940. Get his number.
I'll report him for safety violations.Copy !req
941. Come on!Copy !req
942. Alert all commands:Copy !req
943. "Air raid. Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
944. This is no drill."Copy !req
945. General Quarters. General Quarters.Copy !req
946. Man your stations. Man your stations.Copy !req
947. Sir.Copy !req
948. Battle stations. Battle stations.Copy !req
949. Fire your gun. Fire at will.Copy !req

955. Pearl Harbor's being attacked.Copy !req
956. Go back to your quarters.
Pearl Harbor's being attacked.Copy !req
957. What in the hell is going on?Copy !req
958. Why wasn't the Army notified?Copy !req
959. Did anyone think to inform Washington?
I thought so.Copy !req
960. - General.
- Put all units on a full war footing.Copy !req
961. Alert the territorial guard.Copy !req
962. Open a command post
at Aliamanu Crater.Copy !req
963. - Yes, sir.
- I'll be right down.Copy !req
964. Oh, my God.Copy !req
965. The island's under attack.Copy !req
966. Those bastards will kill us all.Copy !req
967. Men, get to the armory.
Get guns, ammunition.Copy !req
968. - You too, lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
969. - Operator.
- Duarte airfield.Copy !req
970. All the phone lines are jammed.Copy !req
971. Well, try the radio again.Copy !req
972. Hose down that plane.Copy !req
973. Run for it.Copy !req
974. Run, run!Copy !req
975. There's Hickam.Copy !req
976. Major, I heard something
funny on the Honolulu radio.Copy !req
977. What kind of traffic control is this?Copy !req
978. The radio said
something about an attack.Copy !req
979. They're Japs, sir.Copy !req
980. What a way to fly into a war.
Unarmed and out of gas.Copy !req
981. Oboe leader to Oboe flight.Copy !req
982. We've flown into the middle of a war.
Get out fast.Copy !req
983. Anywhere. If you can't make Hickam,
try Bellows or Wheeler.Copy !req
984. Sir, we've been hit. Nothing serious.Copy !req
985. They shot one circuit box.Copy !req
986. The landing light isn't working.Copy !req
987. Better use the hand crank. Hurry.Copy !req
988. - Major.
- Yeah.Copy !req
989. One wheel is stuck.Copy !req
990. Well, jolt it loose. We're going in.Copy !req
991. - I tried.
- Try again!Copy !req
992. Here they come. Fire!Copy !req
993. Tell them to stop shooting at us!
We're Americans.Copy !req
994. Major, no go, sir.Copy !req
995. Like I said, it's a hell of a way
to fly into a war.Copy !req
996. - Run for it!
- Hurry up!Copy !req
997. Tower to B-17,
there's a Jap on your tail.Copy !req

1000. Sir, if we stay here we're gonna fry.Copy !req
1001. Okay, sergeant,
let's get the men down.Copy !req
1002. All right, you guys, let's go.Copy !req
1003. Where the hell are our fighters?Copy !req
1004. Captain, the main fuel tanks
are fractured.Copy !req
1005. Lower deck's flooded,
we're listing eight degrees.Copy !req
1006. Counter flood, counter flood.Copy !req
1007. You wanted confirmation, captain?
Take a look.Copy !req
1008. There's your confirmation!Copy !req
1009. “Oklahoma”, capsized.Copy !req

1014. I've just come from her.Copy !req

1016. Would've been merciful had it killed me.Copy !req
1017. A message from
Flight Leader Fuchida.Copy !req
1018. "Have inflicted serious damage
on numerous battleships."Copy !req
1019. Better than we had dreamed!Copy !req
1020. Where are our priority targets...Copy !req
1021. the American carriers?Copy !req
1022. Mr. Secretary.Copy !req
1023. "Air raid. Pearl Harbor. This is no drill."Copy !req
1024. No, this can't be true.
They must mean the Philippines.Copy !req
1025. No, sir. It's Pearl.Copy !req
1026. Get me the White House, the direct line.Copy !req
1027. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1028. Mr. Ambassador, Mr. Hull will see you
in a moment. Please be seated.Copy !req
1029. Mr. President, has this been confirmed?Copy !req
1030. Then, sir,
I'd like you to have it confirmed...Copy !req
1031. before I receive Nomura and Kurusu.Copy !req
1032. They're waiting outside.Copy !req
1033. Operator. Operator.
Get me Haleiwa field. Fast.Copy !req

1035. I'm calling Haleiwa. I'll get them
to start our planes. Go.Copy !req
1036. Battleship on the left, sir!Copy !req
1037. It's the Nevada. She's making
a run for the sea!Copy !req
1038. if we sink her in the channel,
the harbor will be blocked for months!Copy !req
1039. Recommend course 2-3-0, sir.Copy !req
1040. - Very well. Stay at 2-3-0.

1041. Take cover!Copy !req
1042. More hose! More hose!Copy !req
1043. More water.Copy !req
1044. Abandon ship! Abandon ship!Copy !req
1045. - Abandon ship! Abandon Ship!
- Over the side!Copy !req
1046. Can't get through
the outer channel in this shape.Copy !req
1047. She goes down here,
she'll block the south channel.Copy !req
1048. We'll have to beach her there
so she's clear.Copy !req
1049. File these.Copy !req
1050. G-5.Copy !req
1051. I need five copies each.Copy !req
1052. Messenger.Copy !req
1053. - Take this to General Short's office.
- Right.Copy !req
1054. File these.Copy !req
1055. Corporal.Copy !req
1056. This has to be decoded
for the general.Copy !req
1057. Take it to the decoding room.
Ask them to send it back soon.Copy !req
1058. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1059. Run for it!Copy !req
1060. Drop the hose
and get the ladders and axes.Copy !req
1061. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
1062. - We got no water.
- Why? What's wrong?Copy !req
1063. It's the Arizona.
She cut the pipes in the mains.Copy !req
1064. The tanker in the ocean there
is full of aviation fuel.Copy !req
1065. if it goes, we'll blow up
half the harbor.Copy !req
1066. Hey, look out!Copy !req
1067. In all my 50 years of public service...Copy !req
1068. I have never seen a document
so crowded with infamous falsehoods...Copy !req
1069. and distortions...Copy !req
1070. on a scale so huge...Copy !req
1071. that I never imagined until today...Copy !req
1072. that any government
on this planet...Copy !req
1073. was capable of uttering them.Copy !req
1074. Mr. Hull.Copy !req
1075. Go.Copy !req
1076. What's the matter? Why in hell
doesn't the next wave take off?Copy !req
1077. But, sir, no one has given the order.Copy !req
1078. We've knocked out
the American airfields...Copy !req
1079. sunk four battleships,
heavily damaged three more.Copy !req
1080. Sir, Rear Admiral Yamaguchi's
carrier has signaled!Copy !req
1081. "Attack group ready for takeoff."Copy !req
1082. Unfortunately, the American
carriers were not at Pearl Harbor.Copy !req
1083. Since we don't know where they are...Copy !req
1084. we can't use our limited
supply of fuel to look for them.Copy !req
1085. We must not forget that enemy
submarines will be searching for us.Copy !req
1086. We have been lucky so far.Copy !req
1087. No take-off signal yet?Copy !req
1088. There is a signal now!Copy !req
1089. It says, "All ships head for Japan
as soon as our planes return."Copy !req
1090. It can't be!Copy !req
1091. It must be a mistake!Copy !req
1092. We cannot turn back now.Copy !req
1093. We must destroy the American
carriers and their dry docks...Copy !req
1094. no matter how long it takes!Copy !req
1095. You're wrong. Our mission has
been completely accomplished.Copy !req
1096. This task force is vital to us.
It is my duty to return it intact.Copy !req
1097. This war is just beginning.Copy !req
1098. We have a long way to go.Copy !req
1099. Yes, all right.Copy !req
1100. This came from the decoding room,
a cablegram from the War Department.Copy !req
1101. Get a copy to Admiral Kimmel.Copy !req
1102. Pardon me, admiral.Copy !req
1103. - From Washington.
- Thank you.Copy !req
1104. Gentlemen.Copy !req
1105. "The Japanese are presenting
at 1 p.m...Copy !req
1106. Eastern Standard Time today...Copy !req
1107. what amounts to an ultimatum.Copy !req
1108. Just what significance the hour set
may have, we do not know...Copy !req
1109. but be on alert accordingly."Copy !req
1110. Signed...Copy !req
1111. George C. Marshall, chief of staff.Copy !req
1112. My God.Copy !req
1113. This leaves the Navy with only two
combat groups in the Central Pacific.Copy !req
1114. Ours and the Lexington.Copy !req
1115. We don't want to get caught
like they did.Copy !req
1116. I don't intend to.
When can you be ready for sea again?Copy !req
1117. We can fuel and provision
and be under way before dawn.Copy !req
1118. Good. That's good.Copy !req
1119. Here is an announcement from the Navy
Department, released December 7th.Copy !req
1120. "Before daybreak today,
the Imperial Navy successfully launched...Copy !req
1121. a large-scale air raid against
the American Pacific Fleet in Hawaii."Copy !req
1122. We salute the Commander-in-Chief
of our Fleet...Copy !req
1123. Admiral Yamamoto.Copy !req
1124. I had intended to deal a fatal blow
to the American fleet...Copy !req
1125. by attacking Pearl Harbor...Copy !req
1126. immediately after Japan's
official declaration of war.Copy !req
1127. But according to the American radio,
Pearl Harbor was attacked...Copy !req
1128. 55 minutes before our ultimatum...Copy !req
1129. was delivered in Washington.Copy !req
1130. I can't imagine anything...Copy !req
1131. that would infuriate
the Americans more.Copy !req
1132. I fear all we have done...Copy !req
1133. is to awaken a sleeping giant
and fill him with a terrible resolve.Copy !req
1134. "l fear all we have done is to awaken
a sleeping giant...Copy !req
1135. and fill him
with a terrible resolve."Copy !req
