Midway
|
| 00:03:39 |
Admiral Yamamoto, please. |
| 00:03:41 |
He asked not to be disturbed. |
| 00:04:05 |
Admiral Yamamoto? |
| 00:04:08 |
Tokyo has been bombed. |
| 00:04:10 |
10 minutes ago. Yokohama, Kawasaki |
| 00:04:15 |
His lmperial Majesty is unharmed. |
| 00:04:21 |
Damage? - Very little to Tokyo. |
| 00:04:25 |
but it seems probable |
| 00:04:30 |
How did they do it, Watanabe? |
| 00:04:32 |
They launched long-range |
| 00:04:36 |
They came in at treetop level, |
| 00:04:40 |
Tokyo ... bombed! |
| 00:04:42 |
Sir, l understand your concern |
| 00:04:46 |
You may speak freely, Commander. |
| 00:04:51 |
The Americans have |
| 00:04:55 |
Dur homeland is not invulnerable. |
| 00:05:01 |
will certainly approve |
| 00:05:09 |
Lieutenant-Colonel Doolittle |
| 00:05:14 |
and an all-volunteer crew of airmen. |
| 00:05:17 |
Most of the planes carried |
| 00:05:21 |
and single incendiary clusters, |
| 00:05:23 |
which were dropped on oil stores, |
| 00:05:29 |
A few planes made minor strikes |
| 00:05:33 |
with one bomb hitting |
| 00:05:37 |
News of this raid has improved |
| 00:05:43 |
while at the same time constituting |
| 00:05:55 |
Thanks, Sir. |
| 00:06:00 |
At his press conference today, |
| 00:06:05 |
''Can you tell us, where did |
| 00:06:12 |
He replied: |
| 00:06:15 |
They came from our new |
| 00:06:20 |
Well, my God, it's Captain Garth! |
| 00:06:22 |
l was expecting some junior officer. |
| 00:06:27 |
Yeah, like hell it is, Joe! |
| 00:06:29 |
Admiral Nimitz sent me over to ... |
| 00:06:34 |
Dfficially, l'm supposed to question |
| 00:06:39 |
Why so grim, Matt? Doolittle's attack |
| 00:06:44 |
Not by a long shot. |
| 00:06:48 |
We only got 4 carriers |
| 00:06:53 |
Now the boss is afraid Yamamoto's |
| 00:06:58 |
We got the latest intercepts here. |
| 00:07:04 |
Here's a list of Japanese ships |
| 00:07:07 |
we suspect will be assigned |
| 00:07:13 |
The Coral Sea! That's where |
| 00:07:19 |
But something else is stirring, |
| 00:07:23 |
We need facts, not guesswork. |
| 00:07:25 |
Matt, we cracked Yamamoto's code, |
| 00:07:30 |
We get a flicker here |
| 00:07:34 |
How much can you decipher? |
| 00:07:37 |
Really decipher. |
| 00:07:40 |
10 per ... That's one word in 10. |
| 00:07:48 |
We like to call it ''analysis''. |
| 00:07:51 |
Alright. What are these indications |
| 00:07:56 |
There's no hard clues yet. |
| 00:07:59 |
lncreased radio traffic between |
| 00:08:04 |
Could be significant. At least |
| 00:08:09 |
Alright, |
| 00:08:11 |
l'll take that list of Jap ships |
| 00:08:15 |
Nimitz may send Fletcher's task force |
| 00:08:20 |
We'll see how your 10-percent |
| 00:08:24 |
As a back-room code-cracker |
| 00:08:28 |
Joe, could l ask you |
| 00:08:34 |
lt really stinks down here. |
| 00:08:39 |
Bath? God, l don't know ... |
| 00:08:43 |
Forget it, Joe. |
| 00:08:50 |
Any new Yamamoto intercepts? |
| 00:08:52 |
Here's a first mention of ''A-F'', |
| 00:08:58 |
A-F? |
| 00:09:27 |
Captain! |
| 00:09:31 |
Tom! |
| 00:09:33 |
Dad ... |
| 00:09:35 |
My God, Tom. |
| 00:09:40 |
Last night. - This is beautiful. Why |
| 00:09:47 |
l've been assigned to Kaneohe. |
| 00:09:53 |
Three years! |
| 00:09:55 |
You look great, Tom. |
| 00:10:06 |
Kaneohe, are you? What squadron? |
| 00:10:09 |
You'll like it. Your C.D. used to be |
| 00:10:17 |
Could we talk somewhere? |
| 00:10:19 |
Sure ... Here. |
| 00:10:28 |
l phoned you from Guam |
| 00:10:31 |
Yeah, l heard later. |
| 00:10:36 |
l guess your mother was there? |
| 00:10:39 |
Yeah. |
| 00:10:44 |
Recovered from the divorce, l guess. |
| 00:10:49 |
l was hoping maybe we could ... |
| 00:10:57 |
l've fallen in love with |
| 00:11:07 |
l need your help. |
| 00:11:11 |
l damn well guess you do, Tiger. |
| 00:11:15 |
She's been arrested in Honolulu. |
| 00:11:18 |
How did you manage that? |
| 00:11:20 |
ln San Diego and getting mixed up |
| 00:11:24 |
She was a student in San Diego. |
| 00:11:29 |
Her parents live here. She wouldn't |
| 00:11:34 |
Apparently, the FBl has something |
| 00:11:40 |
Well, that figures. |
| 00:11:42 |
Haruko was born here. |
| 00:11:47 |
Anyway, the minute l got in l went |
| 00:11:53 |
She wouldn't see me. |
| 00:11:56 |
l don't know. |
| 00:11:59 |
She and her parents will be sent |
| 00:12:07 |
lt sticks in your throat |
| 00:12:11 |
Sticks in your ...? Don't give me |
| 00:12:15 |
l don't care what color she is. |
| 00:12:18 |
Christ almighty! |
| 00:12:21 |
6 months after Pearl Harbor! |
| 00:12:30 |
What's her name? |
| 00:12:35 |
l wrote it down for you: |
| 00:12:40 |
But promise one thing: |
| 00:12:42 |
Don't do anything stupid |
| 00:12:47 |
That's a deal. |
| 00:13:19 |
ln my opinion, the plan is not only |
| 00:13:25 |
Admiral Kondo, Dperation M-l |
| 00:13:31 |
We are aware of Captain Kuroshima's |
| 00:13:37 |
But this time, the god of operations |
| 00:13:43 |
Would you please explain? |
| 00:13:45 |
How am l expected to land |
| 00:13:48 |
unless the enemy airfields and |
| 00:13:54 |
Admiral Nagumo has said his carriers |
| 00:13:58 |
The enemy's land-based bombers |
| 00:14:03 |
than Nagumo's carrier planes. |
| 00:14:05 |
His ships would be blown out of |
| 00:14:10 |
l destroyed the US fleet at Hawaii, |
| 00:14:16 |
Where were the land-based bombers? |
| 00:14:18 |
A surprise attack with |
| 00:14:24 |
But this, a strike |
| 00:14:28 |
with 200 ships and 100,000 men. |
| 00:14:35 |
Does the idea of taking the Aleutians |
| 00:14:41 |
No, Sir. But an operation so complex, |
| 00:14:49 |
After all, in a matter of hours |
| 00:14:53 |
We have sufficient forces for both. |
| 00:14:56 |
l tend to agree |
| 00:15:02 |
l suggest we meet again |
| 00:15:07 |
Very well. |
| 00:15:11 |
The Americans are still |
| 00:15:14 |
lf their fleet can be lured |
| 00:15:20 |
they will have no significant |
| 00:15:23 |
They will have to sue for peace. |
| 00:15:26 |
l have traveled widely in America, |
| 00:15:31 |
Their industrial might is awesome. |
| 00:15:34 |
l'm convinced our only hope of victory |
| 00:16:10 |
Joe, are you sure this |
| 00:16:15 |
l already got one thing for the boss. |
| 00:16:19 |
And, you were right about Coral Sea. |
| 00:16:23 |
Every ship on your list was there. |
| 00:16:27 |
We got hurt. |
| 00:16:36 |
Welcome on, Admiral. |
| 00:16:39 |
Long and full of potholes. |
| 00:16:41 |
Got Fletcher's Coral Sea report? |
| 00:16:52 |
Get in back, Joe. |
| 00:17:02 |
Here's Admiral Fletcher's |
| 00:17:05 |
We lost the Lexington. |
| 00:17:09 |
What about the enemy? |
| 00:17:11 |
We sank one light carrier, one big |
| 00:17:16 |
Looks like |
| 00:17:19 |
We can't trade the Japanese |
| 00:17:24 |
We started with a 3 to 1 superiority. |
| 00:17:27 |
With the Lexington gone, |
| 00:17:31 |
all we've got is the Hornet, |
| 00:17:36 |
Sir, Yorktown was heavily damaged |
| 00:17:45 |
Admiral, Commander Rochefort |
| 00:17:49 |
lt's about objective A-F, |
| 00:17:52 |
Dur listening posts pick up traffic |
| 00:17:58 |
There's been a heavy traffic volume, |
| 00:18:04 |
... and A-D. A-D is a mystery, |
| 00:18:08 |
But l think we've identified ''A-F''. |
| 00:18:13 |
lt had us stymied until one of my men |
| 00:18:18 |
A Jap reconnaissance pilot radioed |
| 00:18:23 |
We plotted every course |
| 00:18:26 |
and the only appreciable landmass |
| 00:18:30 |
Joe! - l know it's thin. |
| 00:18:35 |
But l figured out |
| 00:18:39 |
lf you have this flown to Midway. |
| 00:18:44 |
reporting that Midway's |
| 00:18:48 |
lt should be transmitted in the clear, |
| 00:18:56 |
lnstruct Midway to include this in |
| 00:19:01 |
Aye-aye, Sir. |
| 00:19:27 |
Send this right away. |
| 00:19:30 |
Hey, chief! |
| 00:19:31 |
What's this? |
| 00:19:33 |
There ain't nothin' wrong |
| 00:19:37 |
Dombrowski, send it. |
| 00:19:43 |
Damn heat's gettin' to everybody here. |
| 00:20:04 |
Have this intercept coded |
| 00:20:36 |
They took the bait, Admiral. |
| 00:20:40 |
from Kwajalein |
| 00:20:44 |
''A-F has trouble |
| 00:20:48 |
''A-F'' has to be Midway lsland. |
| 00:20:53 |
Be at my office at 05:00, Matt. |
| 00:20:59 |
This is how |
| 00:21:02 |
The northern force, under Hosogaya, |
| 00:21:07 |
To keep Nimitz's attention |
| 00:21:12 |
He will not realize |
| 00:21:15 |
until 24 hours later, when |
| 00:21:19 |
and destroy the American |
| 00:21:22 |
At that hour you move in, |
| 00:21:27 |
Nimitz will be forced to respond. |
| 00:21:31 |
most certainly his carriers, |
| 00:21:34 |
His carrier commander |
| 00:21:40 |
l have studied his tactics |
| 00:21:44 |
Halsey is courageous, |
| 00:21:47 |
but we will turn |
| 00:21:50 |
lt will take Halsey's task force |
| 00:21:54 |
By that time, Nagumo, you'll have |
| 00:21:59 |
You'll have a better position, |
| 00:22:02 |
and at least |
| 00:22:06 |
and 4 to 5 times |
| 00:22:10 |
Assuming the American fleet is still |
| 00:22:16 |
Nimitz is crippled |
| 00:22:19 |
He must deploy his remaining strength |
| 00:22:23 |
l agree with Admiral Nagumo. |
| 00:22:25 |
We must make certain |
| 00:22:29 |
l propose we send 2 flying boats |
| 00:22:36 |
We fuel them by tanker submarine and |
| 00:22:41 |
They then report whether or not |
| 00:22:45 |
A very wise precaution indeed. |
| 00:22:48 |
We will call it ''Dperation K''. |
| 00:22:53 |
Yes. |
| 00:22:56 |
We can achieve a great victory, |
| 00:22:59 |
providing Nimitz and Halsey |
| 00:23:07 |
The Enterprise and the Hornet |
| 00:23:10 |
The rest of the task force |
| 00:23:13 |
The Yorktown is more |
| 00:23:17 |
How soon can we dry-dock her? |
| 00:23:19 |
By the 17th, if a Jap sub |
| 00:23:24 |
Admiral Fletcher |
| 00:23:30 |
Tell the yard repairman l want |
| 00:23:35 |
That sharpshooter from Washington |
| 00:23:39 |
Who did they send? |
| 00:23:41 |
Maddox. He's a damned scalp hunter! |
| 00:23:44 |
See that he's thoroughly briefed, |
| 00:23:49 |
Admiral, |
| 00:23:52 |
No, he's entitled to a crack at me. |
| 00:23:59 |
Are those arming switches fixed? |
| 00:24:04 |
Get them working 100% , or rip them |
| 00:24:11 |
Yes, Sir. |
| 00:24:19 |
Sorry to drag you out of bed so early, |
| 00:24:23 |
lt's DK. Did you get the report? |
| 00:24:27 |
l've already read it. |
| 00:24:33 |
Did you know your girl |
| 00:24:35 |
belonged to those |
| 00:24:41 |
l saw the magazines, |
| 00:24:45 |
The Attorney General's office |
| 00:24:48 |
And the FBl doesn't think she's |
| 00:24:53 |
You can't blame them for that. |
| 00:24:58 |
You cool down |
| 00:25:02 |
Tom, l don't have time to fool around. |
| 00:25:08 |
l guess l have no alternative, |
| 00:25:11 |
l guess you don't. |
| 00:25:18 |
Captain Maddox, Admiral Nimitz. |
| 00:25:22 |
Should we get right to it, Captain? |
| 00:25:26 |
l'm sure you're aware of Washington's |
| 00:25:30 |
Yes. They think it's an enemy ruse. |
| 00:25:33 |
An elaborate phony, Sir. |
| 00:25:37 |
Could we speak in private? |
| 00:25:50 |
These enemy radio intercepts |
| 00:25:56 |
Very detailed ... - Too detailed. |
| 00:26:02 |
The fake Japanese messages. |
| 00:26:06 |
Washington's sure Yamamoto's |
| 00:26:11 |
Very definitely possible. |
| 00:26:14 |
Well, then how can you insist ... |
| 00:26:18 |
l'm convinced |
| 00:26:21 |
But if you're wrong, Admiral, |
| 00:26:24 |
if you send our carriers |
| 00:26:27 |
the entire West Coast and Hawaii |
| 00:26:30 |
Fully aware of that, Captain. |
| 00:26:32 |
You mean, the safe play |
| 00:26:37 |
With respects, Admiral, |
| 00:26:47 |
Captain, if we surprise the enemy, |
| 00:26:49 |
catch him where he's not expecting us, |
| 00:26:52 |
we can drive him back 3,000 miles. |
| 00:26:55 |
And keep him pinned till we can |
| 00:27:00 |
My instructions were |
| 00:27:03 |
over the safety |
| 00:27:07 |
ls Washington ordering me |
| 00:27:13 |
No, Sir. |
| 00:27:14 |
My orders were simply to consult. |
| 00:27:16 |
No, Sir, |
| 00:27:21 |
Commander Blake, send the fleet to |
| 00:27:26 |
lssue the order immediately. |
| 00:27:29 |
Admiral, may l see you a moment? |
| 00:27:43 |
Damn. You know how |
| 00:27:47 |
Maybe it's nothing serious. |
| 00:27:51 |
it must be not only damn serious, |
| 00:27:55 |
Admiral, l have some really bad news. |
| 00:28:00 |
The Japanese changed the J-N 25 code, |
| 00:28:05 |
How long do you need for the new code? |
| 00:28:10 |
Sir, do you still |
| 00:28:15 |
Yes. Target: Midway. |
| 00:28:42 |
Welcome aboard your flagship, Admiral. |
| 00:28:45 |
Thank you, Captain. |
| 00:28:48 |
Rear Admiral Kusaka, |
| 00:28:53 |
Where's Commander Genda? |
| 00:28:55 |
He's in sick bay, Admiral. lnfluenza. |
| 00:28:59 |
When does the doctor think |
| 00:29:02 |
ln 2 or 3 days. |
| 00:29:04 |
l don't like beginning this operation |
| 00:29:08 |
We have another sick bay casualty: |
| 00:29:14 |
Fuchida too? |
| 00:29:18 |
We'll need a replacement. |
| 00:29:19 |
Genda suggests |
| 00:29:22 |
Lieutenant Tomonaga. |
| 00:29:25 |
lf Genda says so, |
| 00:29:30 |
Yes, Sir. |
| 00:29:36 |
Fuchida, the man who led |
| 00:29:41 |
Genda, who planned it, both ill. |
| 00:29:46 |
Very bad luck, Sir, very bad luck. |
| 00:29:50 |
Dnly an inconvenience, Sir. |
| 00:30:33 |
Good morning, Sir. - Lieutenant. |
| 00:30:53 |
Here we are. The Sakura family. |
| 00:30:56 |
Yes. Thank you, Lieutenant. |
| 00:31:09 |
Miss Sakura, |
| 00:31:13 |
Please come in. |
| 00:31:17 |
My parents, Tetsuro and Sada Sakura. |
| 00:31:22 |
How do you do? |
| 00:31:24 |
You want to speak to me in private. |
| 00:31:28 |
Yes. Well, thank you. |
| 00:31:39 |
lf l embarrassed you, forgive me, |
| 00:31:42 |
but l wanted you to see that they |
| 00:31:47 |
l never really |
| 00:31:50 |
l suppose it goes with the times. |
| 00:31:54 |
And l shouldn't be bitter? |
| 00:31:57 |
l never said that. |
| 00:31:59 |
Damn it, l'm an American! |
| 00:32:02 |
What makes us different from |
| 00:32:07 |
Pearl Harbor, l guess. |
| 00:32:13 |
Look, l've read the FBl report. |
| 00:32:16 |
Ask me anything you want to. |
| 00:32:19 |
Alright. |
| 00:32:21 |
Your father has been seen frequently |
| 00:32:26 |
He has old friends there. |
| 00:32:29 |
l see. |
| 00:32:31 |
What about these |
| 00:32:36 |
My father enrolled me in those |
| 00:32:39 |
Dut of respect for him |
| 00:32:43 |
l see. |
| 00:32:45 |
What about those magazines |
| 00:32:51 |
The ''Prairie Shimbun''? |
| 00:32:54 |
My father has |
| 00:32:58 |
but even so he thought |
| 00:33:03 |
Why did he subscribe? |
| 00:33:06 |
He's a traditional and honorable man. |
| 00:33:09 |
He was once indebted to the man |
| 00:33:15 |
Look, Miss Sakura, |
| 00:33:19 |
to ask your parents' permission |
| 00:33:23 |
Yes, l did. |
| 00:33:24 |
Why didn't you tell that to the FBl? |
| 00:33:29 |
Why won't you see him? |
| 00:33:32 |
You won't even talk to him. |
| 00:33:37 |
Because my parents have |
| 00:33:47 |
l want you to tell him for me. |
| 00:33:51 |
l can't tell him that. |
| 00:33:54 |
He wouldn't believe me. |
| 00:33:57 |
Besides, l'd just as soon |
| 00:34:01 |
Look, Miss Sakura, |
| 00:34:03 |
Haruko, |
| 00:34:05 |
Tom's based |
| 00:34:09 |
Send for him, please. |
| 00:34:12 |
You have to tell him this. |
| 00:34:54 |
Damn itching is driving me crazy! |
| 00:34:57 |
All those medics can do is |
| 00:35:01 |
When they get the nerve to come near. |
| 00:35:05 |
But a skin disease! Df all the stupid, |
| 00:35:10 |
lt's driving me nuts. l can't even |
| 00:35:15 |
Fletcher's docking the Yorktown now, |
| 00:35:20 |
Recommend your replacement. |
| 00:35:25 |
l know he's junior |
| 00:35:29 |
and never served a day on a carrier. |
| 00:35:38 |
Well, you asked for my recommendation. |
| 00:35:43 |
l can just picture |
| 00:35:45 |
if l hand over the Hornet and |
| 00:35:49 |
Especially with the static l'm getting |
| 00:35:55 |
You told me once, Chet: |
| 00:36:01 |
Admiral Fletcher, Sir. |
| 00:36:05 |
Welcome home, Jack. Congratulations |
| 00:36:10 |
Well, we got lucky. - We haven't got |
| 00:36:14 |
Halsey's beached, in the hospital. |
| 00:36:20 |
l'm sending you out again, Jack, |
| 00:36:25 |
That's impossible! lt'll be 3 months |
| 00:36:30 |
Spruance has replaced Halsey. He takes |
| 00:36:35 |
You follow him 48 hours later. |
| 00:36:37 |
Spruance is a cruiser commander! |
| 00:36:41 |
Yeah, but he can't fly. |
| 00:36:45 |
And he sure as hell |
| 00:36:49 |
No. |
| 00:36:52 |
Congratulations, Ray. |
| 00:36:57 |
Nice seeing you again, Matt. |
| 00:37:01 |
We could have used you at Coral Sea. |
| 00:37:03 |
He's on your Air Dperations staff |
| 00:37:07 |
Good. |
| 00:37:09 |
We face the biggest force the enemy |
| 00:37:16 |
They've got 4-to-1 supremacy. |
| 00:37:18 |
Yamamoto himself is commanding. |
| 00:37:21 |
We know when |
| 00:37:25 |
we know their original courses. |
| 00:37:27 |
We don't know their rendezvous point, |
| 00:37:33 |
They could hit from the northwest, |
| 00:37:39 |
Ray, assuming |
| 00:37:44 |
Washington thinks it is, |
| 00:37:47 |
what kind of move do you suggest? |
| 00:37:54 |
Well, l'd take my carriers here, |
| 00:37:59 |
and wait for Nagumo's carriers. |
| 00:38:02 |
Why not head northwest |
| 00:38:06 |
There's a chance |
| 00:38:09 |
You think Hawaii and the West Coast |
| 00:38:12 |
lt doesn't really matter, provided |
| 00:38:18 |
lf it's Midway, l'll bushwhack them. |
| 00:38:21 |
Alright. Jack, you're senior. You take |
| 00:38:26 |
The Yorktown will be at sea |
| 00:38:31 |
l don't need to stress that Yamamoto |
| 00:38:36 |
Dur 3 carriers are all that stands |
| 00:38:42 |
Now, your point of rendezvous, |
| 00:38:46 |
''Point Luck'', Sir. |
| 00:38:51 |
Sounds like a prayer, |
| 00:38:55 |
Son of a bitch! |
| 00:38:57 |
Nurse! |
| 00:38:59 |
Ray. |
| 00:39:02 |
Wanted to call the nurse |
| 00:39:05 |
lt spoils my view of the boatyard. |
| 00:39:09 |
Feeling DK? |
| 00:39:11 |
l can't sleep. l can't eat. |
| 00:39:16 |
You ever try an oatmeal |
| 00:39:20 |
l want to thank you for recommending |
| 00:39:24 |
l have a question: |
| 00:39:26 |
Did that itch go to your head? |
| 00:39:30 |
Stop underestimating yourself. |
| 00:39:33 |
Any skipper who can keep |
| 00:39:36 |
alongside my carriers across the whole |
| 00:39:41 |
You know, you and l ... |
| 00:39:46 |
Bill, we're kind of different. |
| 00:39:49 |
You think l can do it as well as you? |
| 00:39:53 |
l can only tell you this, Ray: |
| 00:39:55 |
You play it the way you feel it, |
| 00:39:59 |
You go to sea, find Yamamoto and |
| 00:40:05 |
Christ, no! You want to catch this? |
| 00:40:16 |
Dh, by the way, |
| 00:40:18 |
l'll have somebody cut down |
| 00:40:43 |
ln carrying out the task |
| 00:40:48 |
Enterprise and Hornet will act |
| 00:40:52 |
which means avoiding exposure |
| 00:40:58 |
without good prospect of inflicting |
| 00:41:36 |
Sir, three boilers |
| 00:41:38 |
The yard manager says |
| 00:41:42 |
Delaney, l expect the yard |
| 00:41:48 |
Sorry about your boiler, Jack. |
| 00:41:51 |
But if you clear Pearl by 07:00 |
| 00:41:53 |
you'll rendezvous with Enterprise |
| 00:41:57 |
Agreed. |
| 00:42:01 |
You too, Matt. See you back here soon. |
| 00:42:09 |
We just haven't any future, Tom. |
| 00:42:13 |
l figured that's what it was. |
| 00:42:16 |
We don't. |
| 00:42:19 |
We really don't. |
| 00:42:21 |
l wish you'd go now. |
| 00:42:24 |
l don't love you anymore. |
| 00:42:32 |
Say it to my face. |
| 00:42:39 |
say it to my face, God damn it! |
| 00:42:56 |
lt'll be DK. |
| 00:43:01 |
Shit. Wait and see! |
| 00:43:02 |
1919, the Marines were practicing |
| 00:43:06 |
Everybody said: |
| 00:43:09 |
We waited, then the Germans |
| 00:43:12 |
You mean like at Pearl Harbor? |
| 00:43:15 |
ln '32 it was proved that Pearl Harbor |
| 00:43:21 |
And Admiral Ramsey predicted |
| 00:43:26 |
When was that? |
| 00:43:29 |
Wait and see. We waited. |
| 00:43:32 |
December 7th, we saw. |
| 00:43:35 |
The wait-and-seers |
| 00:43:39 |
l'll drink to that. |
| 00:43:44 |
How long have you been here? |
| 00:43:48 |
You ought to go on the radio. |
| 00:43:51 |
Alright ... Well, l'm celebrating |
| 00:43:54 |
That's a problem |
| 00:43:57 |
My God, |
| 00:44:01 |
How's the boy doing? |
| 00:44:04 |
He's a good pilot. Got him in an F4F. |
| 00:44:10 |
Coming from you that means a lot. |
| 00:44:12 |
No. He's good man, a natural pilot, |
| 00:44:18 |
Tom's only deficiency |
| 00:44:27 |
He's got to learn, you don't win a war |
| 00:44:30 |
For Christ's sake ... - Well, he told |
| 00:44:34 |
l met her. She seems like a nice girl. |
| 00:44:38 |
She's having trouble with him. |
| 00:44:43 |
l've got to shove off. |
| 00:44:47 |
Scuttlebutt says you're going out |
| 00:44:52 |
Well, keep your dumb ass |
| 00:44:57 |
Thanks for keeping an eye on my boy. |
| 00:45:01 |
He'll be fine, Matt. |
| 00:45:14 |
Tom! - Nice of you |
| 00:45:17 |
But your squadron isn't due to ship |
| 00:45:21 |
Are you saying you're surprised, Sir? |
| 00:45:26 |
l didn't know anything about it! |
| 00:45:28 |
You wanted me shipped out, |
| 00:45:33 |
So your old buddy Jessop obliged. |
| 00:45:38 |
l have to report on board, Sir. |
| 00:45:51 |
MARlNE lNTELLlGENCE |
| 00:46:00 |
DK, Sir. |
| 00:46:08 |
Captain Garth is here, Sir. |
| 00:46:14 |
l'm gonna do something l don't do, |
| 00:46:19 |
l'm gonna ask you to do me a favor. |
| 00:46:25 |
This is an FBl enemy alien report. |
| 00:46:31 |
Don't ask. |
| 00:46:33 |
Matt, l could find out. |
| 00:46:40 |
The report contains all the bureau |
| 00:46:46 |
Dn an American citizen |
| 00:46:52 |
They look DK to me, |
| 00:46:56 |
lt sounds like you are. |
| 00:47:00 |
Harry, l want you |
| 00:47:04 |
They'll be sent |
| 00:47:07 |
lf they're clean, |
| 00:47:10 |
l want that shipment cancelled. |
| 00:47:13 |
Matt, you're way out of line here! |
| 00:47:17 |
This is tampering! |
| 00:47:24 |
Alright, what have we got? |
| 00:47:27 |
What are these people to you? |
| 00:47:31 |
Someday, |
| 00:47:36 |
You're pressuring me to take |
| 00:47:42 |
lmproper action, hell! |
| 00:47:45 |
They're no more |
| 00:47:48 |
than your pet Airedale. |
| 00:47:53 |
l'll have to report your request. |
| 00:47:58 |
lt's not for me. |
| 00:48:00 |
You know l wouldn't ask you |
| 00:48:06 |
Jesus Christ, Harry! |
| 00:48:09 |
l'm begging you! |
| 00:48:19 |
Alright, l'll investigate it. |
| 00:48:26 |
Thanks, Harry. |
| 00:48:32 |
And, Captain, |
| 00:48:36 |
this'll wash it with us. |
| 00:48:41 |
We're even. |
| 00:48:56 |
Captain? |
| 00:48:59 |
Thank you, Corporal. |
| 00:49:02 |
Reporting as ordered, Sir. |
| 00:49:05 |
Sorry to send the Marines after you, |
| 00:49:09 |
We had nothing to talk about, Captain. |
| 00:49:12 |
You can cut out that midshipman-crap, |
| 00:49:16 |
l'll try to remember it. |
| 00:49:19 |
l'd like to set the record straight: |
| 00:49:24 |
l personally vouched |
| 00:49:29 |
and went way out on a limb for them. |
| 00:49:31 |
l didn't know |
| 00:49:34 |
but you know, there it is. |
| 00:49:37 |
Thanks. |
| 00:49:40 |
Dne more thing: |
| 00:49:44 |
l didn't ask your C.D. |
| 00:49:46 |
You spoke to him, didn't you? |
| 00:49:50 |
He asked me how l felt about ... |
| 00:49:53 |
lf you couldn't do anything about it, |
| 00:49:58 |
Jessop thought |
| 00:50:01 |
l did all l could, |
| 00:50:05 |
You're paid to fly fighter planes, |
| 00:50:07 |
not to sit in your cabin |
| 00:50:11 |
You better shape up, Tiger, before |
| 00:50:30 |
Just received this message, Sir. |
| 00:50:32 |
Dperation K, the reconnaissance flight |
| 00:50:36 |
Cancelled? Why? |
| 00:50:39 |
Dur scout planes couldn't refuel. |
| 00:50:45 |
Sir, Admiral Nagumo's carrier force |
| 00:50:50 |
Admiral Nagumo must have picked up |
| 00:50:54 |
Suppose he didn't. |
| 00:50:55 |
He will assume the American carriers |
| 00:50:59 |
And that is where our latest |
| 00:51:02 |
What latest intelligence reports? |
| 00:51:05 |
Have any of our submarines sighted |
| 00:51:10 |
No, Sir. But there's no logical reason |
| 00:51:17 |
We must not break radio silence and |
| 00:51:22 |
The element of surprise is one of the |
| 00:51:45 |
Admiral, this is our search plan. |
| 00:51:47 |
An air search involving 22 PBYs, |
| 00:51:51 |
each plane flying 700 miles out, |
| 00:51:55 |
We'll have a 180-degree view |
| 00:51:58 |
and still have a flanking area |
| 00:52:01 |
Have it put into operation right away. |
| 00:53:16 |
Jesus, how many of those can you eat? |
| 00:53:48 |
Admiral, air reconnaissance report. |
| 00:53:54 |
No sightings. |
| 00:53:58 |
ls there any defense measure |
| 00:54:02 |
That had top priority, Admiral. |
| 00:54:04 |
You sent everything we had: |
| 00:54:10 |
lt's miserable waiting for an attack |
| 00:54:15 |
More pressure from Washington? |
| 00:54:18 |
Frankly, |
| 00:54:41 |
Captain. |
| 00:54:43 |
Half a dozen F4Fs and 15 Buffaloes. |
| 00:54:46 |
Damned relics. - We'll show the Japs |
| 00:54:50 |
DK, Reid. |
| 00:55:08 |
ln less than 5 hours |
| 00:55:11 |
and we will still be groping to Midway |
| 00:55:16 |
We're not due to launch |
| 00:55:20 |
Dur predictions are for clear weather |
| 00:55:23 |
l keep wondering what Dperation K |
| 00:55:28 |
Were the American carriers there? |
| 00:55:30 |
We've heard nothing from Yamamoto. |
| 00:55:38 |
Damn communications blackout! |
| 00:55:51 |
Hey, you guys! |
| 00:55:55 |
Here we go. |
| 00:56:07 |
Well, Gentlemen, it's started. |
| 00:56:17 |
The Aleutian lslands |
| 00:56:26 |
Washington could still be right. |
| 00:56:30 |
lt could be a feint for an attack |
| 00:56:35 |
Dr what we've defended against. |
| 00:56:37 |
Today. Dur PBY should tell us today. |
| 00:57:03 |
Hey, do you see what l see? |
| 00:57:08 |
Damn right, l do! |
| 00:57:11 |
Sparks, raise Midway. |
| 00:57:16 |
That's all? Just ''Main body''? |
| 00:57:24 |
An American PBY, Sir. |
| 00:57:28 |
Radio's picked up it's transmission. |
| 00:57:33 |
Break radio silence. |
| 00:57:35 |
Advise Admiral Yamamoto: |
| 00:57:41 |
6 large ships in a column, bearing |
| 00:57:50 |
Admiral. |
| 00:57:55 |
Enigma! |
| 00:57:58 |
You know what l mean, Admiral. |
| 00:58:05 |
Another one from Strawberry-9, Sir. |
| 00:58:08 |
11 ships, course 090, speed 19 knots. |
| 00:58:12 |
Just what kind of ships? |
| 00:58:14 |
First transmission said ''Main body'', |
| 00:58:19 |
That PBY, Strawberry-9, |
| 00:58:26 |
Nagumo's carriers could be |
| 00:58:29 |
Maybe beyond his horizon. |
| 00:58:31 |
lf they are, Fletcher's too far north. |
| 00:58:35 |
He has to move at top speed now to get |
| 00:58:40 |
But if Nagumo's carriers are |
| 00:58:44 |
Fletcher'd be caught |
| 00:58:46 |
Yes, if we let him head |
| 00:58:54 |
Send a flash message to Fletcher: |
| 00:58:59 |
Expect enemy carrier strike |
| 00:59:02 |
... via northwest, as anticipated. |
| 00:59:08 |
CinCPAC must think the PBY |
| 00:59:13 |
But if it's Nagumo's attack force |
| 00:59:17 |
and its scouts find us |
| 00:59:25 |
Sound general quarters! |
| 00:59:40 |
Weather is clearing, Admiral. |
| 00:59:45 |
We intercepted a radio transmission |
| 00:59:50 |
lntelligence does not report |
| 00:59:56 |
Whatever doubts we may have had ... |
| 01:00:00 |
We have no definitive intelligence |
| 01:00:04 |
And Yamamoto's silence |
| 01:00:08 |
Admiral. |
| 01:00:15 |
My apologies. l've been |
| 01:00:20 |
Genda, how are you? |
| 01:00:23 |
l'm well enough |
| 01:00:28 |
And so you shall, my friend. |
| 01:00:32 |
Prepare an air search plan right away. |
| 01:00:37 |
Where l would deploy my carriers |
| 01:00:42 |
There, northeast of Midway. |
| 01:00:52 |
Times like this, |
| 01:00:58 |
lt's a big body of water out there. |
| 01:01:04 |
Nearest lake was 120 miles away. |
| 01:01:07 |
You could wade across it |
| 01:01:11 |
During summer |
| 01:01:18 |
Whatever happens, Joe, you sure |
| 01:01:25 |
Well, thank you, Sir. |
| 01:01:27 |
To cover the area, we will launch |
| 01:01:33 |
and our cruiser escorts |
| 01:01:37 |
Very good. And until our scouts |
| 01:01:40 |
we'll hold our most experienced pilots |
| 01:01:45 |
But the American fleet |
| 01:01:46 |
can't be anywhere near Midway. We |
| 01:01:51 |
We've been over this before. |
| 01:01:54 |
Admiral, |
| 01:01:58 |
lf we don't destroy Midway's airstrip |
| 01:02:05 |
Commander Genda? |
| 01:02:09 |
l agree with you, Sir. |
| 01:02:11 |
Let our younger pilots |
| 01:02:14 |
l am sure they can do the job. |
| 01:02:19 |
That is how it will be. |
| 01:02:27 |
Suddenly, the man who led us |
| 01:02:30 |
is choked by caution. |
| 01:02:32 |
He senses danger out there. |
| 01:02:36 |
So do l. |
| 01:02:39 |
Their transports wouldn't be so close |
| 01:02:44 |
CinCPAC's right. |
| 01:02:46 |
Yes, but from where? |
| 01:02:50 |
And then his scout planes will be out. |
| 01:02:55 |
lf he hits our blind side ... |
| 01:02:57 |
Why don't we get some eyes out there? |
| 01:03:03 |
DK. But no more than 100 miles out. |
| 01:03:06 |
l want to recover them fast, |
| 01:03:36 |
You DK? |
| 01:03:41 |
The poor bastards'll miss all the fun. |
| 01:03:46 |
He gets his dope straight |
| 01:03:49 |
Wrong, from here. |
| 01:03:53 |
You're crazy! |
| 01:03:57 |
'Morning, Captain. - You're supposed |
| 01:04:02 |
We couldn't sleep. |
| 01:04:05 |
l know, but get below and try. |
| 01:04:12 |
Yes, Sir. |
| 01:04:41 |
Excellent weather forecast. |
| 01:04:43 |
Broken cloud cover up to 2,000 feet |
| 01:04:47 |
and above unlimited visibility |
| 01:04:54 |
Commence launching. |
| 01:05:33 |
All our cruisers' scout planes |
| 01:05:38 |
The Tone is having catapult problems. |
| 01:05:41 |
A delay in launching scout 4. |
| 01:05:45 |
Half an hour, Sir. |
| 01:05:48 |
ln case the Americans suddenly appear, |
| 01:05:50 |
l suggest bringing the 2nd flight wave |
| 01:05:55 |
Armed with torpedoes |
| 01:06:00 |
Dur planes and the Kaga's. |
| 01:06:02 |
Soryu and Hiryu can stand by |
| 01:06:09 |
Give the order. |
| 01:06:40 |
Now it's up to our strike leader. |
| 01:06:44 |
Tomonaga is the best we've got. |
| 01:07:17 |
Howie? |
| 01:07:28 |
lt's the whole damn Jap navy! |
| 01:07:32 |
Radio, raise Midway. |
| 01:07:39 |
We got 'em! lt's Jap fighter cover. |
| 01:07:56 |
''Enemy carriers''? That's all? |
| 01:07:59 |
That's all Strawberry-5 said. |
| 01:08:04 |
lf he was on course and on schedule, |
| 01:08:10 |
250 miles out. |
| 01:08:12 |
You better signal it to Spruance. |
| 01:08:28 |
You certain it was Strawberry-5? |
| 01:08:31 |
Positive, Skipper. |
| 01:08:34 |
How far are we |
| 01:08:36 |
We're 15 minutes behind schedule. |
| 01:08:38 |
Bandits! Sweet mother of God, |
| 01:08:44 |
Four ... no, five o'clock! |
| 01:08:48 |
Jesus! |
| 01:08:54 |
Billy, send this quick: |
| 01:08:59 |
Are you certain? |
| 01:09:01 |
Alright, just let us know |
| 01:09:04 |
Nothing more. No word from our scouts |
| 01:09:08 |
Yes, but was that from Strawberry-5? |
| 01:09:13 |
Maybe he was jumped |
| 01:09:16 |
Damn it! How many carriers? |
| 01:09:22 |
Those Japs |
| 01:09:24 |
And we'll never find their carriers |
| 01:09:30 |
Damn it! |
| 01:09:42 |
Nothin'. We've lost 'em! |
| 01:09:46 |
Lieutenant, they're behind us! |
| 01:09:52 |
Send it! |
| 01:10:04 |
''Fletcher to Spruance. Second |
| 01:10:08 |
2 enemy carriers, battleship. |
| 01:10:13 |
Distance: 180 miles. |
| 01:10:17 |
Speed: 25 knots.'' |
| 01:10:20 |
Came right out of the slot |
| 01:10:23 |
''Proceed southwesterly, |
| 01:10:26 |
Will follow as soon as |
| 01:10:30 |
Signal ''Ahoy'', Captain Browning. |
| 01:10:34 |
To battle stations. |
| 01:11:07 |
Get the control tower. |
| 01:11:14 |
Andy, Major Parks get his fighters up? |
| 01:11:17 |
All 23. The SBDs are ready to go. |
| 01:11:20 |
Get 'em airborne. |
| 01:11:23 |
Captain, we've got |
| 01:11:28 |
Rainbow Leader. |
| 01:11:34 |
l see 'em, Kirk. |
| 01:11:38 |
Let's see how many |
| 01:11:49 |
Two bogies under you! |
| 01:11:55 |
Got one! Look at that Jap bastard! |
| 01:12:04 |
Get him off me! |
| 01:12:09 |
Dn your tail! |
| 01:12:14 |
l'm hit, Rainbow Leader! |
| 01:12:20 |
Look out, Rainbow! Dn your tail! |
| 01:12:23 |
Comin' in on you! Three of 'em! |
| 01:12:35 |
Look at that Jap bastard! |
| 01:12:38 |
My God, they got Major Parks! |
| 01:12:45 |
Rainbow Leader, come in! |
| 01:12:48 |
Report please! |
| 01:12:53 |
Good God! |
| 01:12:54 |
Give me the tower. |
| 01:12:59 |
Andy, they blew |
| 01:13:02 |
Get your people under shelter! |
| 01:13:20 |
Jesus! |
| 01:13:21 |
Come on! |
| 01:13:30 |
Attack in squadron order! |
| 01:14:52 |
God, they creamed us! |
| 01:14:55 |
Dur landing strip's still operational. |
| 01:15:27 |
Tomonaga |
| 01:15:31 |
Sir, this report is a great victory. |
| 01:15:36 |
We've destroyed 40 enemy aircraft, |
| 01:15:40 |
But the pilots you chose |
| 01:15:45 |
We have 93 planes and our best pilots |
| 01:15:50 |
The entire force should be sent now. |
| 01:15:52 |
The entire force? Dur planes are armed |
| 01:15:58 |
Hardly suitable for bombing |
| 01:16:02 |
They should be immediately |
| 01:16:05 |
We must make certain |
| 01:16:10 |
Lieutenant Tomonaga's request |
| 01:16:14 |
Midway is still a threat to us. |
| 01:16:17 |
So are the American carriers. |
| 01:16:19 |
lf they are nearby, yes. |
| 01:16:22 |
But after 2 hours, |
| 01:16:25 |
You're forgetting, scout number 4 |
| 01:16:29 |
lt will not reach it's maximum |
| 01:16:42 |
Tomonaga's planes |
| 01:16:45 |
They can be quickly refueled |
| 01:16:50 |
ln case our scouts |
| 01:16:54 |
Admiral? |
| 01:16:59 |
Very well. |
| 01:17:01 |
Drder our torpedo bombers |
| 01:17:04 |
As soon as they are ready, |
| 01:17:41 |
57 planes on the line, Sir. |
| 01:17:43 |
The Hornet will probably |
| 01:17:48 |
What's the enemy carriers' position? |
| 01:17:53 |
lf we launch immediately, |
| 01:17:56 |
Yes, Sir. lf the weather holds, |
| 01:17:59 |
they navigate perfectly and |
| 01:18:03 |
lf we launch now, we might |
| 01:18:08 |
lf we wait, it will give him time |
| 01:18:14 |
Sir, the PBY reported only 2 carriers. |
| 01:18:17 |
l know. |
| 01:18:20 |
lf those other 2 suddenly pop up ... |
| 01:18:28 |
But we have 2 certain targets |
| 01:18:36 |
Let's get Enterprise |
| 01:18:45 |
lt's from Admiral Spruance. |
| 01:18:47 |
Enterprise and Hornet are launching |
| 01:19:00 |
Air controller reports our strike |
| 01:19:05 |
Just the time we need to finish |
| 01:19:09 |
Your confidence |
| 01:19:12 |
Dur scouts report no enemy carriers. |
| 01:19:18 |
All except scout number 4. |
| 01:19:41 |
10 enemy ships sighted. |
| 01:19:43 |
Bearing: 010 degrees. Distance: 240 |
| 01:19:50 |
Which scout radioed the contact? |
| 01:19:57 |
How far along are we on rearming? |
| 01:20:00 |
Drder it halted. |
| 01:20:02 |
Radio scout 4 to ascertain |
| 01:20:16 |
Friendlies, Sir. |
| 01:20:19 |
They'll be on board |
| 01:20:23 |
Have Captain Buckmaster see to it. |
| 01:20:25 |
Dur planes from Enterprise and Hornet |
| 01:20:31 |
They're not on the same course? |
| 01:20:34 |
We're counting on it, Admiral. |
| 01:20:37 |
Nagumo has to hold course |
| 01:20:43 |
240 degrees puts our people on him |
| 01:21:02 |
l don't see our fighters, Sir. |
| 01:21:06 |
And where's Bombing 8? |
| 01:21:08 |
With Fighting 8. |
| 01:21:11 |
Ain't they supposed to be with us? |
| 01:21:16 |
Red Fox Leader to Kit 3. |
| 01:21:19 |
Red Fox Leader to Kit 3! |
| 01:21:22 |
Either my compass is fouled up, |
| 01:21:27 |
There's nothing out there. |
| 01:21:33 |
Will you tell us, Sir? |
| 01:21:35 |
l figure they moved east |
| 01:21:43 |
Roger. - What good's our orders, |
| 01:21:48 |
l don't like it. |
| 01:21:49 |
Take it easy. |
| 01:21:51 |
lf anybody can find the Japs, |
| 01:22:03 |
Sir, another message from scout 4. |
| 01:22:08 |
3 additional enemy ships sighted, 250 |
| 01:22:14 |
Apparently 2 cruisers, |
| 01:22:18 |
lmpossible. The Yorktown was |
| 01:22:22 |
They can't have repaired her |
| 01:22:26 |
We must assume they have! |
| 01:22:29 |
lf it is it, |
| 01:22:32 |
l see. |
| 01:22:34 |
Suddenly, the threat |
| 01:22:37 |
less to you than when you urged me |
| 01:22:43 |
Admiral, Midway must wait. |
| 01:22:46 |
We should rearm our bombers |
| 01:22:49 |
Back to torpedoes again? |
| 01:22:52 |
More wasted time! - Tomonaga, |
| 01:23:00 |
Lieutenant Tomonaga, |
| 01:23:03 |
Do you read me? |
| 01:23:07 |
Request permission to land. My pilots |
| 01:23:13 |
Some have taken anti-aircraft hits. |
| 01:23:18 |
Do l have permission? |
| 01:23:20 |
Admiral Yamaguchi advises |
| 01:23:25 |
launch our bombers at once, |
| 01:23:27 |
While we're launching, Sir, Tomonaga's |
| 01:23:31 |
They're running out of fuel, Admiral. |
| 01:23:42 |
Alright. |
| 01:23:44 |
Wait until we've recovered |
| 01:23:47 |
While they are landing on the deck, |
| 01:23:52 |
Then we'll attack the enemy carrier. |
| 01:24:07 |
That's the last of our scouts, Sir. |
| 01:24:11 |
Tell Eliot to launch all we've got. |
| 01:24:23 |
Pilots, man your planes! |
| 01:25:53 |
Admiral, all aircraft now on board. |
| 01:25:56 |
Tomonaga? |
| 01:26:00 |
l want to close range on the enemy |
| 01:26:17 |
From Admiral Nagumo: |
| 01:26:19 |
''Enemy force composed of |
| 01:26:23 |
sighted 250 miles from Midway. |
| 01:26:26 |
Dne carrier? |
| 01:26:29 |
Close to Midway. Not Pearl Harbor! |
| 01:26:33 |
Admiral Nagumo will simply destroy it |
| 01:26:44 |
Dh, thanks, Matt. |
| 01:26:46 |
l'd give my retirement pay |
| 01:26:49 |
The same thing we are, Admiral, |
| 01:27:05 |
Skipper! |
| 01:27:11 |
l see it. |
| 01:27:14 |
What'd l tell you, Huntington? |
| 01:27:23 |
See if you can raise Bombing 8 |
| 01:27:26 |
Better coordinate the attack. |
| 01:27:29 |
Red Fox 8 Leader to Badger 8 Leader! |
| 01:27:35 |
Red Fox 8 Leader to Badger 8 Leader! |
| 01:27:40 |
DK, we can't wait all day. |
| 01:27:44 |
Red Fox Leader to Kits, |
| 01:27:46 |
Divisions 2 and 4, take the carrier. |
| 01:27:51 |
And stay together as long as you can. |
| 01:28:11 |
Admiral, enemy torpedo bombers |
| 01:28:27 |
They're coming in |
| 01:28:30 |
Mindless suicide! |
| 01:28:33 |
Perhaps. |
| 01:28:36 |
We can't attack their carrier |
| 01:28:40 |
They're using up all our fighters. |
| 01:28:42 |
Bandits, 11 o'clock! Look out! |
| 01:28:46 |
Two of them. Shoot, shoot! |
| 01:28:52 |
This is Kit 6, l got 3 of them |
| 01:29:06 |
Below you, bandits! No, no! |
| 01:29:12 |
Dh God damn! No! |
| 01:29:26 |
Stay in formation! |
| 01:29:28 |
Get in. Close up, you idiots! |
| 01:29:32 |
l'm hit, l'm hit! Dh, Jesus! |
| 01:29:40 |
Dobs, behind you! Bandits behind you! |
| 01:29:43 |
Look out! |
| 01:29:49 |
Huntington, coming in at 10 o'clock! |
| 01:30:00 |
Huntington! |
| 01:30:03 |
Huntington, are you dead? |
| 01:30:08 |
Follow me. |
| 01:30:29 |
Waldron, get your nose up! |
| 01:30:33 |
Pull up, pull up! |
| 01:31:31 |
What happened? |
| 01:31:34 |
Yeah, but which one? |
| 01:31:41 |
Casualty report, Sir: |
| 01:31:44 |
no shipboard damage, no casualties. |
| 01:31:52 |
A whole squadron. 15 brave crews. |
| 01:32:17 |
Torpedo 3 going in at 1,500 feet. |
| 01:32:19 |
Bombing 3 and Fighting 3 at 1,900. |
| 01:32:22 |
Who's coordinating the attack? |
| 01:32:40 |
Helen Leader to Helen group: |
| 01:32:43 |
l say again: Arm bombs! |
| 01:32:51 |
God damn it! |
| 01:32:55 |
Don't touch |
| 01:32:58 |
Use manual control! |
| 01:33:01 |
Too late, Commander. Mine dropped. |
| 01:33:05 |
Rotten gadget! Who the hell |
| 01:33:08 |
Yamamoto, who else? Now what? |
| 01:33:13 |
Alright, knock it off. |
| 01:33:18 |
Helen Leader, out. |
| 01:33:44 |
Skipper, look at Chili Bean over here! |
| 01:33:50 |
l feel them! |
| 01:33:52 |
Hope he's right. |
| 01:34:06 |
Bertha 3 Leader to Mabel 3 Leader, |
| 01:34:08 |
Bertha 3 Leader to Mabel 3 Leader: |
| 01:34:12 |
l got 3 ... |
| 01:34:18 |
Holy hell, we hit the jackpot! |
| 01:34:27 |
Yes, sky watch? |
| 01:34:31 |
Two separate groups. |
| 01:34:39 |
Bertha 3 Leader to Mabel 3 Leader: |
| 01:34:44 |
Damn right, we're ready! |
| 01:34:47 |
Roger. Bertha 3 Leader to Small Fry: |
| 01:34:50 |
Concentrate on the closest flattop. |
| 01:34:55 |
l count 12 |
| 01:34:58 |
14 from port side, Sir! |
| 01:35:01 |
All these can't be from one carrier. |
| 01:35:04 |
They must be coming from Midway. |
| 01:35:08 |
We've heard nothing from scout 4 since |
| 01:35:12 |
Soryu should send out its scout plane. |
| 01:35:15 |
We must make certain |
| 01:35:18 |
See to it immediately. |
| 01:35:33 |
Lining up to jump us, Thach. |
| 01:35:37 |
We're right above them. |
| 01:35:59 |
Score 1 for Commander Thach! |
| 01:36:07 |
That a boy, Tom! |
| 01:36:15 |
Ramos, 2 o'clock! |
| 01:36:24 |
Nice shootin' ! |
| 01:36:31 |
More comin' in at 1 o'clock! |
| 01:36:39 |
You got him! Nice goin' ! |
| 01:36:47 |
Mabel 3 Leader to Hustler Tom: |
| 01:36:52 |
Roll out, Tom! Dive, dive! |
| 01:37:20 |
We've quashed all of their attacks, |
| 01:37:25 |
Sacrifice themselves like samurai, |
| 01:37:29 |
That last attack pulled our entire |
| 01:37:34 |
Now they're looking for survivors. |
| 01:37:37 |
We have no fighter umbrella over us? |
| 01:37:40 |
We're trying to recall them, |
| 01:37:44 |
How many fighters are standing by |
| 01:37:49 |
Barely enough to do the job. |
| 01:38:16 |
They're American carriers, |
| 01:38:19 |
Get through |
| 01:38:29 |
Why are you waiting? |
| 01:38:30 |
The transmitter isn't working. |
| 01:38:48 |
What's it look like down there? |
| 01:38:54 |
A Jap destroyer! |
| 01:38:57 |
Going someplace |
| 01:39:04 |
DK, follow it. See where it leads us. |
| 01:39:07 |
Commander McClusky, look at |
| 01:39:11 |
l know, l know. |
| 01:39:19 |
The last two attacks were made |
| 01:39:25 |
There is more than one |
| 01:39:28 |
Admiral. - Genda, why hasn't |
| 01:39:32 |
We don't know. lt should have sighted |
| 01:39:36 |
Sir, all the bombers |
| 01:39:44 |
Signal all carriers: |
| 01:39:56 |
There they are, dead ahead. |
| 01:40:02 |
Huey, the whole Jap navy! |
| 01:40:07 |
Raven Leader to Mother Goose: |
| 01:40:11 |
Have them in sight. |
| 01:40:14 |
l say again: 4 enemy carriers. |
| 01:40:29 |
Helen Leader to Mabel and Bertha! |
| 01:40:32 |
Come in Bertha, come in Mabel! |
| 01:40:36 |
This is Helen Leader. We have contact. |
| 01:40:42 |
l'm sorry, Commander Leslie, |
| 01:40:47 |
Keep trying. We're supposed to |
| 01:40:50 |
Either their navigation is fouled up |
| 01:40:56 |
Keep trying, damn it! |
| 01:40:58 |
Mabel Leader, come in! |
| 01:41:05 |
Raven Leader to flock: They're turning |
| 01:41:09 |
l don't see any Jap fighters, Sir. |
| 01:41:12 |
Let's not wait for 'em! Fall in! |
| 01:41:18 |
lt's no use. Commander Massey |
| 01:41:23 |
DK, hang on. We're going in. |
| 01:41:25 |
Sir, we don't have a bomb! - We can |
| 01:41:30 |
This is Helen Leader. Concentrate |
| 01:42:34 |
Commander McClusky, they've got |
| 01:42:40 |
Bull's eye! |
| 01:42:47 |
Scratch one flattop! Caught him cold! |
| 01:42:51 |
Raven Leader to Raven 6. |
| 01:42:56 |
Bring it home, girls, bring it home! |
| 01:43:04 |
Bull's eye! |
| 01:43:09 |
Commander, l got a hit! |
| 01:43:14 |
Beautiful, Helen 3, dead center! |
| 01:43:31 |
We caught 'em flat-footed! |
| 01:43:35 |
Sweet Mary, how did we get so lucky? |
| 01:44:04 |
Helen Leader to squadron: |
| 01:44:08 |
Time to go home. |
| 01:44:47 |
Admiral, you must transfer your flag. |
| 01:44:50 |
The cruiser Nagara is close by. |
| 01:44:54 |
Advise Admiral Yamaguchi. |
| 01:45:02 |
l can't tell you where to find the |
| 01:45:06 |
Their last position was radioed |
| 01:45:10 |
Hasn't the Soryu scout reported, Sir? |
| 01:45:15 |
Then how do l find them, Sir? |
| 01:45:21 |
Then just trust your luck |
| 01:45:37 |
Do you hear anything? - Nothing. |
| 01:45:49 |
Lieutenant, enemy planes! |
| 01:45:57 |
Dur fighters |
| 01:46:01 |
Signal them to lay back with us. |
| 01:46:06 |
We'll let them |
| 01:46:19 |
l got all Max Leslie's bombers, Sir. |
| 01:46:24 |
Dff the port quarter, Sir. |
| 01:46:33 |
l'll bring the fighters down first. |
| 01:47:38 |
Jesus! |
| 01:47:56 |
He's alive, Captain. |
| 01:47:59 |
Flight Mission Combat! |
| 01:48:02 |
Radar has more aircraft, bandits. |
| 01:48:07 |
Roger. Bandits, Sir. |
| 01:48:13 |
Sound general quarters! |
| 01:49:53 |
We took a bomb hit to the side. |
| 01:49:58 |
Admiral, the radio's down. We can't |
| 01:50:02 |
You better transfer the flag, Sir. |
| 01:50:05 |
Matt, you better stay aboard, |
| 01:50:11 |
Lower the barge. |
| 01:50:21 |
This is Zephyr calling Whirlwind: |
| 01:50:26 |
l repeat: Enemy carrier on fire. |
| 01:50:31 |
That wasn't Kobayashi. - None |
| 01:50:37 |
The scout plane from the Soryu |
| 01:50:45 |
He's gonna be DK, Captain. |
| 01:51:09 |
Hi, Dad. |
| 01:51:14 |
l'll see you back at Pearl, Tom. |
| 01:51:20 |
There's a picture of Haruko and me |
| 01:51:27 |
l'll take care of it, Tiger. |
| 01:51:35 |
Thanks, Dad. |
| 01:51:44 |
Dnly 1 boiler in use, Sir. 5 are out. |
| 01:51:48 |
Yes, Sir. l think l can guarantee |
| 01:51:53 |
Very good. Delaney, tell your gang |
| 01:51:58 |
Aye-aye, Sir. |
| 01:52:02 |
Matt, we have more planes than pilots. |
| 01:52:06 |
Sure. |

MARlNE lNTELLlGENCE |
| 01:52:15 |
Did you confirm it? |
| 01:52:19 |
''Fletcher to Nimitz: Confirm |
| 01:52:23 |
Hallelujah! |
| 01:52:24 |
3 of their 1st-line carriers, Admiral! |
| 01:52:31 |
Good advice, Joe, but there's still |
| 01:52:35 |
A message from Captain Buckmaster: |
| 01:52:39 |
Badly? - Yes, but she's underway. |
| 01:52:43 |
Dur whole force may be in jeopardy |
| 01:52:49 |
They still have a tremendous fleet. |
| 01:52:51 |
But that 4th carrier can't be far off. |
| 01:52:55 |
We've already won a great victory, |
| 01:52:59 |
Maybe we should get our people back. |
| 01:53:04 |
Before they can hurt us again? Yes. |
| 01:53:10 |
That may be the smart play. |
| 01:53:12 |
Trouble is: l want that 4th carrier! |
| 01:53:30 |
What's wrong? |
| 01:53:34 |
We haven't had time to repair it. |
| 01:53:39 |
A few hours ago |
| 01:53:42 |
Now we win or lose |
| 01:53:55 |
The skipper wants to know, can you |
| 01:54:00 |
Very good. - All we gotta do |
| 01:54:04 |
Bridge-phone, Combat. |
| 01:54:07 |
Report from Scouting 5. |
| 01:54:12 |
Good. Relay our position to Fletcher. |
| 01:54:15 |
We found him, Delaney. Just give us |
| 01:54:20 |
Sir, radar has bandits. |
| 01:54:23 |
They're coming in low. |
| 01:54:28 |
Let's get everything airborne |
| 01:54:31 |
General quarters! |
| 01:55:52 |
Right 4 rudder! |
| 01:56:11 |
Watch out! Get down! |
| 01:57:20 |
Whirlwind, this is Zephyr 3! |
| 01:57:25 |
l repeat: Two torpedoes |
| 01:57:29 |
Now it's one against one, Admiral. |
| 01:57:37 |
Delaney, what's the situation below? |
| 01:57:40 |
No good. All boilers are out. |
| 01:57:43 |
Get your people topside, fast! |
| 01:57:50 |
Larry, radio Enterprise: |
| 01:57:54 |
Yes, Sir. |
| 01:58:01 |
How many are we sending out? |
| 01:58:04 |
We'll have to try it |
| 01:58:07 |
What about the Hornet? |
| 01:58:10 |
16 dive-bombers left, and Matt Garth |
| 01:58:16 |
Signal the Hornet: |
| 01:59:26 |
That wasn't the carrier |
| 01:59:29 |
She was undamaged. |
| 01:59:32 |
Kobayashi said the carrier was |
| 01:59:37 |
No, Sir, it must have sunk. |
| 01:59:41 |
Dive alert! Enemy dive-bombers! |
| 02:01:00 |
Sir, we must withdraw. |
| 02:01:05 |
How will we apologize to His Majesty? |
| 02:01:08 |
Leave that to me. |
| 02:01:11 |
l am the only one |
| 02:01:32 |
Thank you. |
| 02:01:35 |
That was the LSD, Sir. |
| 02:01:38 |
His plane is all shot up. |
| 02:03:11 |
l wonder if Matt knew how big we won. |
| 02:03:16 |
l think l know what he'd have said: |
| 02:03:20 |
''lt doesn't make any sense, Admiral. |
| 02:03:23 |
Yamamoto had everything going for him, |
| 02:03:25 |
power, experience, confidence ... |
| 02:03:30 |
Were we better than the Japanese, |
