624 miles--
624 miles.
A place for you
A place for you for all my life
Actually, It's about two pilots.
Add ten more cans of fuel for each plane.
Admiral Halsey's ordering the cruisers to open fire!
After it, there was hope of victory.
Ah! Come on!
Ain't gonna be any easier. That's three feet shorter than our practice runway.
All hands, man yourbattle stations!
All he needs to think about is how to do this mission and get back alive.
All ocean, no land. Homing into nothing.
All right, in honour of our trip to japan, I got us some, uh, victory cigars!
All right, look alive back there. I see coastline.
All right, Bobby, don't kick. I know it's hard, but--
All right, boys, let's knock their clocks off!
All right, we're gonna pull out of this, Gooz. Come on.
All right.
All the strength you gave to me
Amen.
America realized that she would win and surged forward.
America suffered, but America grew stronger.
And I always will remember
And I wanna thank you now for all the ways
And everywhere I am
And in times like these, you see them...
And once you get it up, you're gonna learn to fly it like a fighter...
And our bombers may lack the fuel to reach the mainland anyway, sir.
And the dreams we left behind
And then all this happened.
And we're gonna bomb it.
And where is God in all this?
Approaching targets for bombing raid. Open bomb bay doors. Open bomb bay doors.
Army pilots, man your planes!
As soon as we're airborne, the carrier will head straight back for Hawaii.
Ask Colonel Doolittle.
Because at 468 feet...
Because of this...
Because they're rare.
Before the Doolittle raid, America knew nothing but defeat.
Bombs away! Bombs away!
Break radio silence.
But I just wanna know why.
But consider the risk, Mr President.
But he would not be the last. He joined a brotherhood of heroes.
But if the carriers head home, where do we land?
But it'll be straight through their hearts.
But that's just me.
But they send them to your relatives.
But we see our friends laid out here before us--
But we're on our own.
But when I see defeat in the eyes of my countrymen...
But, back home, millions ofAmerican workers...
By the way, McCawley, the Brits sent this over.
Can you have someone else write my name on the tombstone?
Captain Low, Mr President.
Captain, Radar reports japanese patrol boats range of 400 yards.
Colonel Doolittle had to advance his execution order by 12 hours, Mr President.
Colonel! I need a minute.
Colonel, we're too far out to make it.
Colonel.
Colonel...
Come here.
Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Come on! Here we go! Here we go!
Come on! Let's go! Take this guy up!
Come on! Max power!
Come on, Gooz. We're the tip of the sword.
Come on.
Come on. Stay in there. Stay in there!
Copy that, Rafe.
Critical, front ward!
Cut 'em out!
Dangerous kind.
Danny!
Danny, I got one!
Danny, be careful. You hear me?
Danny, don't do this. Don't go on this mission.
Danny, follow me now. We can make this.
Danny, this-- this--
Danny, you can't die. You can't die.
Danny.
Danny. Oh!
Danny?
Dear Rafe, it's so strange to be this far from you...
December 7, 1941...
Do not tell me...
Does anyone in this room...
Don't lose us! Keep swimming!
Dorie Miller was the first black American to be awarded the Navy Cross.
Dump that ashcan. See that bombsight? Get rid of it.
During the intervening time...
Evelyn already lost the man she loved once. I just don't want to see that happen to her again.
Evelyn, loving you kept me alive.
Every plane!
Everyone all right?
Everyone brave enough to accept this...
Explain what?
Factories.Just factories.
Fear not, my son.
Fellas, it's gonna be a hard landing. Hold on.
Fire away, gentlemen.
Follow me.
For all my life
For always
Friendship medals the japanese gave us when they were pretending they wanted peace.
From Berlin, Rome and Tokyo, we have been described...
From Washington.
Gentlemen...
Get an air line in here!
Get into the clouds, Danny, right now! Get up--
Get into the clouds, Danny, right now. Get up in that soup!
Get ready, you suckers.
Get up! Get up! Get up!
Get us outta here!
Give him enough morphine to make him comfortable. He's not gonna make it.
Go back to work, Sandra.
Go to general quarters!
Go with God, my son.
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
God help them.
God.
Goddam it!
Gooz!
Grenade!
Guys like us got no choice. This is war.
Has that ever even been done before? Taking army bombers off a navy carrier?
He did.
He's a submariner. He came up with this idea, sir.
He's dead.
He's fine. He's right over there.
He's gonna help us lighten these fat ladies here.
He's probably saying goodbye to his squadron. We've been assigned to Doolittle.
Heads up, boys! Heads up!
Here. Stay here. Don't talk to them. They won't talk to you.
Hey, Cap'n.
Hey, Danny. How'd you like to go flying?
Hey, Rafe?
Hey, Red, you think they just picked us to do this 'cause we're young and dumb?
Hold on now. I got you. You're all right. You're all right. There you go.
Hold on to your faith, my son.
Hold on, boys! We're going down!
Hold your fire. They're Chinese.
How bad am I?
How do you like it when someone's shootin' back at you?
How in the hell do you know about this mission, Lieutenant?
How many cans of fuel we got left?
I absolve you of your sins in the name of the Father...
I ask that the Congress declare a state of war.
I can see the coast right now. It's only a few miles out. Follow me.
I can't promise you anything.
I couldn't have you go away without you understanding something.
I couldn't help what happened any more than you could.
I didn't even know until the day you turned up alive.
I do, because you're acting like I didn't love you.
I don't know if the planes can carry enough fuel to make it to China.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know. Colonel...
I don't want him to know.
I got you, son of a bitch!
I got you. Can you hold on to this--
I have a phrase I want you to memorize.
I haven't told Danny.
I hear somebody! Let's get some guys over here!
I just wanna be there when the news comes in to tell us if they've lived or died.
I know they're going into great danger.
I like sub commanders.
I love you, Danny...
I mean, how much difference we really gonna make?
I need you for a mission I've been ordered to put together.
I need you to do it. Go! Go!
I regret to tell you that over 3, 000 American lives...
I see rice paddies right there. We'll bring it in right here.
I see the coastline. I see the coast!
I should've died over there.
I think Theo's dead! Theo, wake up! Theo!
I told Him I knew I'd been a fool for leaving you...
I told Him I was sorry.
I want you to say hello to Lieutenant Jack Richards, Navy Aviation.
I was strong and proud and arrogant.
I wasn't built to be a prisoner.
I wasn't looking for Danny.
I'd find the sweetest military target I could...
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed to get
I'll go too, sir.
I'll go, sir.
I'll keep a part of you with me
I'll look and see your face
I'll love you my whole life.
I'll see you on board.
I'm 45 years old. I'm an old man.
I'm goin' after 'em.
I'm gonna short this out!
I'm gonna walk away, and I won't ask you for anything.
I'm not-- I'm not gonna make it.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
I'm pushing up on two.
I'm so cold. I'm so cold.
I'm sorry, gentlemen.
I'm talking about hitting the heart of japan the way they have hit us.
I've been looking all over for you.
I, uh, can't find Danny.
I-I don't know what you're talking about.
If the japanese invade us right now...
In Chinese.
In my dreams, I'll always see you
In my heart, there will always be a place for you
In my heart, there will always be
Is it true...
Is that the good news, sir, or--
It is obvious that planning the attack...
It means "I am an American."
It was a war that changed America and the world.
It was not inevitable.
It was worth it.
It won't cut any faster!
It's a good bet that in the next six weeks...
It's an electric fi-- We got a fire back here!
It's not that we're afraid, sir. It's just that we might die doing this, and we wanna know what it's for.
It's the kind of mission where you get medals.
Jap patrols! Take cover!
Japan continues its military conquest throughout the Pacific.
Japan realized, for the first time, that they could lose and began to pull back.
Japs one mile away! They've reported our position!
Japs transmitting! Japs transmitting!
Japs! We got jap patrols all over the place!
Jesus, that was short.
Just tell me that, will you, please? Just tell me why.
Leave your goddam hula shirts at home.
Let them repeat that now.
Let them tell that to General MacArthur and his men.
Let them tell that to the boys in the Flying Fortresses.
Let them tell that to the marines.
Let them tell that to the soldiers who today...
Let's call it an inadvertent disclosure.
Let's go do some business.
Let's go!
Let's show these boys how this thing is done!
Line the critical up in the ward. Get him morphine. Take him over there.
Listen. I want you to strip everything out of this plane you don't need, and I mean now.
Lose those suitcases now!
Man your planes!
Max power!
Maybe you can.
Midway is too far, and Russia...
More speed! More speed!
Most nurses would have gone on to someone else instead of keeping their fingers plugged in your artery.
Most officers would have thrown you in the brig.
Mr President, Pearl Harbor caught us unawares...
Mr President, with all respect, sir.
Mr President, I think we have an idea about how to bomb the japanese.
My friends in the War Department don't want me to lead this raid...
My strength
No matter how long it may take us...
No, you are.
No.
Now I wonder every hour of my life...
Now I'm gonna give Danny my whole heart...
Now. We launch now!
Oh, God!
Oh, God. Dan-- Danny!
Oh, God. Engine one's dead.
Oh, I owe so much to you
Oh, I'm on your ass now.
Oh, are you sure, Ev? Could you check her one more time to be sure?
Oh, my God.
Oh, shit. Anthony.
Oh, sure I do. I'm sorry. I've been meaning to thank you.
Oh, yes, you are. Yes, you are. Danny, look at me.
Okay.
One away!
One, two, three, one! One, two, three, two! One, two, three--
Only those that can be saved, you bring in here. You got that?
Or the seven planes you shot down?
Orders.
Our enemies believe that a divine wind protects them.
Our mission is to hit military targets, aircraft and tank factories.
Over there.
Packing.
Please, Danny.
Please.
Please. Please. Please.
Pretend to type whatever information we pass you. That's it.
Pull!
Put that in your inside pocket next to your heart.
Rafe!
Rafe, I got him!
Rafe, I'm pregnant.
Rafe, all I ever wanted was for us to have a home...
Rafe, you better pray for land.
Rafe.
Red, go check it out.
Remember, pain is temporary, but glory is forever.
Remember, son, hold on to your faith.
Richards!japs! 400 yards. Let's go!
Ripley, you got our target in sight?
Sandra, we're running out of morphine, so you gotta--
She knows that.
She's a fat lady. We want a skinny lady.
She's dead, Sandra, she's dead. Take her over there.
Sir, it's risky, but it's bold.
Sir.
So I would have my crew bail out.
So I'm going with you.
So I'm gonna stand by my end of the deal.
So our boys are flying blind on empty tanks.
So what you do is up to you.
So?
Soar above the sky
Start preflight. Let's go!
Still not getting a signal.
Strap yourself in, boys! We're coming in hard!
Take a look at the man beside you.
Tell me about your ship. What ship are you from?
Thankyou, George.
That comes as a special request directly from President Roosevelt.
That why you're here? Looking for Danny?
That won't matter.
That's exactly why we have to strike back now.
That's for all the Raiders.
That's japan right there, fellas. Tighten up back there. Man your guns!
The Army Air Corps has long-range bombers but no place to launch them.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands...
The fact is, we just both love the same woman.
The mission I'm asking you to volunteer for is exceptionally dangerous.
The mission will launch in a couple ofhours.
The navy's gonna sneak us about 400 miles off the japanese coast, and we'll launch from the carrier there.
The plane carrying them crashed en route to China.
The times tried our souls...
The top secret kind.
Them.
There you'll be
There'll be no homing beacons.
There's Japs everywhere! Danny, land somewhere else!
There's nothing left.
There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer,jack.
There's only one more thing I can tell you.
There's somebody in here! Get somebody down here!
There's too many to help. Okay? You gotta sort 'em out.
These are all empty!
These planes need more fuel, but if they're too heavy, they might not get off the deck.
They carry light loads and have a short range.
They don't have time for bullshit, and neither do I.
They don't want me up in the air flying with the men that I've chosen...
They got us pinned down!
They just keep rolling past that line.
They want me to stand in the flight deck and wave you off. Well, I don't see it that way.
They're only an hour late.
They're pullin' out into the clouds, Danny. We ain't gonna let these sons of bitches get home.
They're shooting at something.
This armoured plating's got to go.
This can't be good.
This is Orphan Annie from Radio Tokyo...
This is different, though, Danny.
This isn't a time for ignoring them again.
This much is certain.
This raid, even ifwe make it through...
This really was a suicide mission.
Three away! Four away!
To feel the sky within my reach
To have you in my life
Top secret means you train for something...
Two away!
Up, please!
Use my lipstick. Put M for morphine.
Victory belongs to those that believe in it the most and believe in it the longest.
Watch for japs.
Watch the trees!
We are at war. Of course there's a risk.
We can explain that, sir.
We can hear tapping from inside the hull.
We can make it in. Easy. Pull it back.
We got a fire! We got a fire!
We got flak everywhere.
We got to get up into those hills and find the Chinese.
We gotta face facts here.
We gotta sink these jap boats before they give away our position.
We gotta take it up. 800 feet.
We gotta try and get out of this shit, Gooz.
We hit our targets. Good job, Raiders.
We made it!
We need help from anybody who can move.
We take off tomorrow afternoon, drop our fire and head for China.
We'd have to get them within a few hundred miles ofjapan...
We'll glide in, go in on fumes.
We're doing everything we can to get to them, but they're 40 feet below water.
We're following you, Rafe. We gotta find a soft landing spot.
We're full into the wind.
We're gonna believe. We're gonna make America believe too.
We're gonna lose engine two any second.
We're in the enemy's backyard.
We're on the ropes, gentlemen.
We're preparing an attack against the Marshall and Gilbert Islands, sir, to keep our--
We're supposed to launch 400 miles away. How far are we now?
We've been trained to think that we're invincible...
We've got men trapped everywhere in the harbour.
Well, I'm gonna train you to do it in 467 feet.
Well, gentlemen, now I can tell you that we're going to Tokyo.
Well, if he can do it--
Well, in that situation, I can't tell you what you should do.
Well, you showed me how it feels
What can we do?
What do we do if the beacons are switched off?
What do we do if our planes are damaged and we have to bail out over japan?
What for, sir?
What is it, General?
What kind of orders?
What would you do, Colonel?
What you're asking can't be done.
Whatever it is you heard about us, sir.
When I look back on these days
When I think back on these times
When I was in that water, I made a deal with God.
When the action is over and we look back...
When the japs hit us, they had more than 300.
When the news starts coming in about those boys in the Doolittle outfit...
Where are the clamps? Hurry.
Where's Ripley?
Who taught you how to fly, Lieutenant?
Whoa!
World War II, for us, began at Pearl Harbor...
Yeah, victory cigars! There you go.
Yeah, well, you do tend to need it from time to time.
Yeah, well, you don't have to explain anything to me.
Yes, sir.
Yesterday...
Yo. I want you to go to the kitchen, get some broomsticks. Cut 'em down, paint 'em black and bring 'em here.
You are a man truly blessed. Truly blessed.
You bring her down any way you can and do your best to avoid capture.
You do it on that basis or not at all.
You don't have a chance! Rafe!
You got nothing to prove.
You guys have your whole lives ahead of you.
You hear me? Danny.
You kept me alive, Evelyn. You brought me home.
You know what?
You know why? 'Cause you're gonna be a father, Danny.
You know, at Pearl, they hit us with a sledgehammer.
You know, she's the first girl I ever felt this way about, Rafe.
You know, the only thing that scares me...
You know,jack, we may lose this battle, but we're gonna win this war.
You mean some fly boy you're dating shot his mouth off.
You mean the hula shirts you were flying in?
You ready for this?
You tell your crew to take a piss before they take off, or they're not gonna clear the deck.
You wanna get off this deck, you give me one of those guns now. It's still too heavy.
You were right there for me
You will be with God and all the saints, all the angels very soon.
You will die in a state of grace.
You'll stay right in here.
You're all brave souls...
You're all right. Hey.
You're both being awarded the Silver Star...
You're both going stateside. Fly out in two hours.
You're gonna be a daddy. I was-- I wasn't supposed to tell you.
You're gonna be a father.
You're just about the only pilots in the army with combat experience.
You're not gonna die, sweetheart. I got your hand.
You're not gonna die. Look at me. Listen to me. You ain't gonna die.
You've been trying to protect me since we were kids.
Your grandmother could take a B-25 off on a mile-long runway.
Your love made me make it through
Your plane's gonna be fine.
a date which will live in infamy...
among the bravest I've ever had the privilege of flying with.
and 1,177 men still lie entombed in the battleship Arizona.
and I promised I'd never ask for anything again...
and I'll be here waiting for you when you come back.
and drive my plane right smack into the middle of it.
and grow old together, but life never asked me what I wanted.
and now our proudest ships have been destroyed...
and of the Son and the Holy Spirit.
and promoted to captain.
and that I've come to respect.
and therefore risk our carriers, and if we lose our carriers...
and through the trial, we overcame.
and you go without knowing where you're going.
are fighting hard in the far waters of the Pacific.
as a nation of weaklings and playboys...
band together, bringing factories to life to avenge Pearl Harbor.
because they say I'm too valuable.
because we didn't face facts.
began many weeks ago.
but I don't think I'll ever look at another sunset without thinking of you.
but you should know this: every night--
by an enemy we considered inferior.
by false statements and expressions of hope...
by naval and air forces...
for continued peace.
for times like these when we all need to be reminded who we truly are--
has caused severe damage to American military forces.
have been lost.
if I could just see you one more time.
in your eyes right now, I start to think that maybe he brought me down...
is it even possible to land a B-25 on an aircraft carrier deck?
is that you might love him more than you love me.
it can't be done.
it'll only be a pinprick.
men are still trapped alive inside the Arizona?
most of you did not know me when I had the use of my legs.
never done before in aviation history...
of the Empire of japan.
so we can keep track of who's got-- got the morphine already.

stepping forward.
that I've chewed out, cussed out, pushed to the limit...
that we will not give up or give in.
the American people in their righteous might...
the Japanese government has deliberately sought...
the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked...
they would penetrate as far as Chicago before we could stop them.
think that victory is possible without facing danger?
thirty feet off the ground.
this ain't no time to leave things unsaid.
to absolute victory.
to all the lonely boys in the South Pacific.
to deceive the United States...
to do our fighting for us.
to overcome this premeditated invasion...
trying to go over there and be a hero...
unprovoked, dastardly attacked by Japan...
we understand both more and less.
we'll have no shield against invasion.
who hire British or Russian or Chinese soldiers...
why God put me into this chair.
will be dead.
will win through...
won't allow us to launch a raid from there.
you gotta mark 'em, you gotta find some way to mark 'em...
you or he...
you're dead.
you've given us the homing beacons, but you've also told us that China is overrun with japanese troops.
-German bandits at 2 o'clock! - Increase throttle! Power dive!
Spell it right, Rafe.
"Rudder" is spelled with two D's.
- Thanks, wingman. - Yeah, sure.
Whoa, bandits!
- Crack shootin', Danny. - Crack shootin', Rafe.
- Land of the free. - Home of the brave.
Great flyin', Dad!
Come on. I'm gonna teach you how to fly.
- I get the front! - No, you take the back.
I'm bigger, and I should be in front.
I'm older and I'm teachin', so no.
- Wow. It's like we're really flying. - Yeah, I did it lots of times.
Come on. You man the guns. I'll give her some throttle.
We gotta get those dirty German bandits.
Oh, gosh!
- Hang on! - Make it stop, Rafe!
I've seen my dad do this lots of times. Don't worry!
Rafe!
- Oh, my gosh! We're flying! - We're flying!
My dad's gonna kill me. Come on.
Yes! Woo-hoo!
- We flew! - We flew! Yes! I'm a pilot!
- I know! - Yeah!
We flew.
- You no-account boy! - Daddy!
I done told you, you spend time playing with this stupid boy, can't read...
you ain't never gonna amount to nothin'!
He ain't stupid, Daddy! Daddy!
Come on!
Get on back home. Now!
Get on up. You got work to do.
Come on! Come on. Get on home!
You let him alone!
Daddy, no!
I will bust you open, you dirty German!
What'd you call me?
I fought the Germans in France.
And I fought 'em in the trenches.
And I pray to God no one ever has to see the things that I saw.
You're my best friend.
Daddy, wait!
Daddy, wait.
Adolf Hitler builds the German military machine...
and drags all of Europe into war.
But even while France falls to Hitler...
America still refuses to join the fighting.
- Where's McCawley and Walker? - Still training, sir.
All right, Danny. Now, let's show 'em how to fly.
We're gonna play chicken. You ready?
This ain't the farm, and these ain't no crop dusters.
- I'm not playing chicken with ya. - Now don't be a baby. I'll tell you what.
- I'm not doing it, Rafe. - Well, I'm coming right at you.
You can turn or you can hit me. It's up to you.
- What the-- - Oh, boy.
Why you always bustin' my ass, Rafe?
Which way you goin'?
I guess I'll go right. No, left. I'll go left.
- Okay, we're goin' left, right? - Uh, right. Right?
"Right" like we're going right or "right" like we're going left?
Now you got me all mixed up! I don't know. Make up your mind.
God, Rafe, we're going right! Righty-tighty!
Those are some smooth aces.
Did you say something?
'Cause let me tell ya, those farm boys are grounded!
Yes, sir, an entirely unacceptable use of m-m-military aircraft, sir.
- Get my hat. - Yes, sir.
Get those hedge-hoppers in Doolittle's office.
After two years of training...
you believe that a $5,000 aeroplane is there for your amusement?
No, sir. I was just trying to keep my edge, Major.
And when you did the outside loop last week, what did you think that was?
Honing your skills?
That's not training, McCawley. That's a stunt.
And I personally consider it to be reckless and irresponsible.
Major.
How could that be when you're famous for being the first man in the world ever to do it?
- Don't get cute with me, son. - No, sir. I--
I don't mean to be disrespectful. I just think that-- Well, I--
It is reckless and irresponsible if you're just doing it to be a show-off.
But I was doing it to try to inspire the men, sir...
in the way that you've inspired me.
I believe the French even have a word for that...
when the men get together to honour their leaders.
They call it an homage, sir.
- A what? - An homage, sir.
That's bullshit, McCawley!
But it's very, very good bullshit.
Thank you, sir.
McCawley, you remind me of myself 15 years ago.
Which is why we need to discuss this.
Have a seat, son.
The British have accepted you into the Eagle Squadron.
You're on your way to England tomorrow, if you still want to go.
Wow.
Just a few British pilots are all that stand...
between Hitler and total victory in Europe.
They're gonna need all the help they can get.
Yes, sir. Well, I'm on my way.
Just for the record, I'm supposed to ask you to reconsider.
- Sir? - Sooner or later...
we're gonna be in this war whether we like it or not.
And I'm gonna need all of my best pilots.
So it's my duty to ask you to stay.
Major, what would you do?
If it was me...
I'd go.
God! Am I going bald right back here?
Ooh!
Man, I am one good-lookin' son of a bitch.
Don't you ever die.
Die. That's exactly the concept you gotta work tonight.
You put a drop of this clove oil under your eyes...
and you let 'em sting and well up.
You get your nurse alone, take a breath...
Iet her see your eyes glisten and say...
"Baby, they're training me for war...
and I don't know what'll happen...
but if I die tomorrow...
I want to know that we lived all we could tonight."
Come on, guys! We got nurses waitin'.
Come on, before the rest of his hair falls out.
How could you do this?
Well, Doolittle assigned me.
He wanted me to get some real-- real combat training in.
Well, guess what?
It's not training over there. It's war...
where the losers die and there aren't any winners...
just guys who turn into broken-down wrecks like my father.
Yeah, I understand that, Danny, but I feel like I got a duty to go.
Don't preach to me about duty, damn it. I wear the same uniform you do.
Now, if trouble wants me, I'm ready for it, but why go looking for it?
God, Danny, come on. I'm gonna be 25. I might as well be an old man.
They're gonna have me bein' a flight instructor.
I don't wanna teach loops and barrel rolls.
- I wanna be a combat fighter. - Hey, come on!
The nurses can't d-d-dance by themselves.
Let's go.
If the call to duty means seeing 150 men in their underwear every day...
we are here to serve.
I can't believe it. Saturday night in New York City.
Do you know what they're doing where I come from? Nothing.
Cow tipping.
That's why you joined the navy, hon.
Get out of that dusty little town and see the world.
May I remind you, Barbara, we're navy nurses, not tourists.
I joined to do my patriotic duty and to meet guys.
Me too.
Girls, we're gonna have so much fun tonight in the city.
You gotta tell them the story, Evelyn.
What?
Oh, come on. Tell us.
- Oh, it's such a long story. - We got time.
I saw it happen.
Well, it was about four weeks ago.
What do you think is b-better?
All in the one cheek or spreading them out?
Okay.
Fusco, Anthony.
You all right, buddy?
Sweetie, do you really have to do this?
I'm not gonna get yellow fever in my barracks.
No? If you'd rather, she can do it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. J-j-just gimme a minute.
Honey, the government says stick 'em, we stick 'em.
Hey, Red, you all right?
Eye exam number four?
Listen, Doc, I have passed a dozen medical checks.
You write that, they won't let me fly.
Sorry, son.
I'm gonna fail. They're gonna take my wings away.
No, they won't. just relax.
Read the bottom line, please.
Just keep practisin' the bottom line.
And don't worry. I'm right behind you.
J-L-M-K-P-O--
Thankyou.
- Next. - Ma'am.
J-L-M-K-P-O-E-T-X. Eyes like an eagle, ma'am.
Slow down, flyboy.
And instead of the bottom, read the very top. Both eyes.
"C." Sorry. "j."
"C," "W," uh, "Q", uh, "Q."
Read the bottom line again, please, but read it right to left...
and every other letter.
E-X--
- X-E. - X-E.
X-E, ma'am.
Ma'am, I know how this looks.
I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I really am...
but army and navy requires 20/20 vision.
Oh, I-- It's not a problem with my eyes. I mean, I can see.
I mean, I can hit a running rabbit with a $3.00 pistol.
I got a problem with letters, that's all.
Well, maybe after some schooling, you could come back and take the test again.
No, I had schooling. I mean, the teachers just never knew what to make of it.
It's just letters. I mix 'em up sometimes. That's all.
I mean, I just get 'em backward sometimes.
Look here. My math and spacial reasoning and my verbal scores are all excellent.
But you barely passed the written exam.
Yeah, but he did pass it. So is it my turn now?
- No, you'll wait your turn. - Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am, I'm never gonna be an English teacher.
But I know why I'm here: to be a pilot.
And you don't dogfight with manuals. You don't fly with gauges.
It is all about feeling and speed...
and lettin' that plane become like a part of your body.
And that manual says that a guy who's a slow reader can't be a good pilot.
That file says I'm the best pilot in this room.
Ma'am, please, don't take my wings.
Well, I felt so bad.
Evelyn, rotate to station three.
I had no choice.
I passed him.
So then this cocky pilot comes back.
- Say, fella, are you enlisted? - Yeah.
"Yeah"? Boy, you're talking to an officer.
- Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. - Give me that file.
- Yes, sir. - Parade rest.
Yes, sir.
Ma'am, I didn't get a chance to thank you.
Drop your skiwies.
Oh. Okay.
Just like this?
That's fine.
He did have a very cute butt.
You know, I know you didn't have to pass me, and you did.
And I just-- I didn't think you'd understand, and you did.
You know, you still haven't said thank you.
- Thankyou. - You're welcome.
Why'd you do it? I mean, I'm just curious.
You're like my hero now.
Actually, my father was a pilot...
and I've seen firsthand what happens when a pilot loses his wings.
You know what? Your father's my hero then too.
In fact, as an officer, I think it'd be my duty...
to take my new hero's daughter out tonight just to--
- Gosh, did I poke too deep? - I think you hit the bone there.
You are so mean.
What, so is-- so is there any chance that you might kind of, sort of...
you know, like me, or--
How did you guess?
They never taught us how to deal with this feeling.
What feeling?
Well, it's kind of like this.
Well, he was getting fresh, so I poked him again.
All right, Romeo. I want to get this over with.
Hold on a second.
Miss, I really, really lick you.
Ah! What did he mean?
Like you.
I didn't mean to say that. And I just, um...
I just want to ask you, please, if I can donate dinner.
He started to act very strange.
Or, well, buy you dinner.
- This isn't your chart. - Whoa!
No. That's the, uh, this fellow over here's. I think he left.
Have you already had this shot?
Yeah, well, once already.
Well, I wanted-- I mean, I just-- can I ask you out?
No.
And he just went wham!
Oh! What'd you do to him?
Poor guy.
Hey!
Oh, my God. Are you okay?
Uh, yeah. I'm fine. I feel great.
This is just standard, precautionary thing.
But, look, I got some, uh, genuine French champagne from France.
And I thought, you know, maybe we could celebrate.
Celebrate what?
Oh, I don't know. You being my hero, for one.
Okay. Why not?
So I wanted to thank you...
and I just wanted to put your mind at ease about passing me...
because I really do think you did this country a service.
I mean, I am a great flier.
And if you have a fault, which you obviously don't, it's modesty.
No. If I have a fault, it's candour.
You are just so--
Cork just got away from me.
God, it hurts!
It hurts something fierce.
I'm sorry.
- It's bleeding. - God.
Oh.
- Lay still. - I ruined everything. Oh, it hurts.
- It's cold! - It'll stop the bleeding.
- I can't breathe. - Lay still.
You are so beautiful, it hurts.
It's your nose that hurts.
I think it's my heart.
And then I kissed him.
Evelyn, that's the most romantic story I ever heard.
It's been the most romantic four weeks and two days of my life.
I'm so jealous.
Hello, Lieutenant. It's good to see you.
- You, too, Lieutenant. - Pick a hand.
It's beautiful.
What's in your other hand?
Mine.
Well, it took me six hours to fold these.
I want you to meet my friends.
Rafe, this is Martha, Barbara, Sandra.
- Hi. I'm Betty. - Hi.
Would you happen to have any friends?
Take your pick.
Hi.
We ever get in this war and somethin' happens to me...
I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to know...
that someone as sweet as you will be there to nurse me back to health.
Good, but we're not in the war yet.
Okay. That was a bad line.
Hi.
I'm-- I'm Red.
Red S-S-Strange.
- Your last name's Strange? - Yeah, she's all yours, soldier.
No. It's-- It's Winkle.
Red is such a ladies' man.
- Do you always stutter? - No. Only when I'm--
She's totally buying it.
- Nervous? - Yeah.
Why can't I get something like that?
- Hello. - Hi.
Danny seems kind of shy around the girls.
It's not that he's shy.
He's just a little unsure of himself, you know.
His old man used to run him down a lot.
Get him in a plane, he's sure of himself.
He's like my brother. He's like my best friend.
You know, my right hand.
Which, at the moment, is a long way south of my waist.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I guess I lost a little altitude.
Yeah, I guess you did.
Excuse me.
You and me, we got to talk.
So the rumour is the navy's shipping us to Pearl Harbor.
Well, won't be so bad.
It's about as far from the fighting as you can get.
You'll get a suntan.
So maybe the army will post you guys there too.
You are a super special woman.
And, and, well--
Well, they're training me to be a big bad warrior...
and, well--
So I mean, you never know what might happen tomorrow or--
or any day after that, you know?
So...
God, we need to make tonight super special.
Why are you crying?
I guess it's the thought that I might not ever get to see you again.
Dry your eyes, toots. Tonight you're mine.
I don't want to be with a crowd tonight.
I just want to be alone with you.
Well, how does New York Harbor by moonlight sound?
Are you gonna be a bad influence?
Of course I'm a bad influence.
Let's see if we can commandeer this vessel...
'cause we're officers of the U.S. government.
Not for long, we won't be.
One day, we'll take a trip on a boat like that.
Would you like that?
We'll be dressing for cocktails and walk into the Grand Salon.
No one's talking about war. They're just dancing to Cole Porter.
- I'll have to get a tux. - Yeah.
- Come on. There you go. All aboard. - You're out of your mind.
Yeah. Careful now. Here, sit down.
Now, let's see here.
There we go.
See, this is as close as I could get you to your ship.
So at least I tried, right?
Actually, you know what? This is better.
Yeah, it is.
God, you're pretty.
What's gonna become of us all, Rafe?
Well, the future's not exactly in our hands, is it?
No. I guess you're right.
Oh, my God! Are you all right?
- Yeah, are you? - That was not part of the date.
- Watch your step. - Oh, thank you.
- Evelyn! - Guys, come up! Come on--
Come up! We're in 321.
There's something I got to tell you.
Well, you got no secrets from me, Lieutenant.
I've seen your medical chart.
This can't be good, or it wouldn't be so hard to say.
Yeah. I got to go away.
We're all going away.
Yeah...
but I'm going to the war tomorrow.
I'm flying with the Eagle Squadron.
It's an outfit the British started for American pilots.
I don't understand.
You're in the U.S. Army. How could they order you to go?
They didn't order me. I volunteered.
But I passed you. I let you through.
And now you volunteer for the most dangerous place you could go?
It's not your responsibility, not your choice.
Flying's the only thing I ever wanted to do.
I mean, everything in my life has led me up to this point.
Meeting you.
I love you.
I love you so much.
Let's go inside.
All right. Wait a minute. I just-- I can't do this.
This just-- It's not right. I'm sorry. I just--
See, I can't do this. I mean, I--
I mean, I can. I-- I want to.
I'm not trying to be noble, you know.
Or not saying I know what would happen.
Or just-- I need to stop talking.
I just-- I just don't want it-- I just don't want it to be like everybody else.
I don't want you to have anything about tonight that you'll regret.
I mean, it's been the most incredible night of my life...
and I don't want to ruin that.
Oh, you couldn't ruin it.
If I had one more night to live, I'd want to spend it with you.
See, that's what I want to come home to.
That's what I want to have to think about and dream about.
I want to know that the best part of my life is still ahead of me.
Look.
Don't--
Could you not come see me off?
Because saying goodbye to you once is hard enough.
Here.
- Take this. - You think it looks good on me?
I will come back.
I thought you said you told her not to come.
- Yeah, I did. - Why are you looking for her then?
It's my test.
If I tell her not to come, and she comes anyway...
then I-- I know she loves me.
All aboard! Track 57!
If, uh, anything happens to me...
I want you to be the one to tell her, all right?
You just make sure and come back for the both of us, all right?
- See you when I get back. - Yeah.
Good hunting, Rafe.
Evelyn! Evelyn!
Evelyn!
Evelyn! Evelyn! Hey!
She loves me.
The German Luftwaffe relentlessly bombards downtown London...
while Churchill's Royal Air Force is in a deadly struggle...
to maintain control of the British skiies.
This is a real mess.
Lieutenant McCawley reporting for duty, sir.
Good. We'll get you settled into your quarters...
and then introduce you to the crate you'll be flying.
Yes, sir, well, if y'all are patching up bullet holes right here on the runway...
maybe we ought to skip housekeeping and get me right into an aeroplane.
Two didn't come back, sir. We counted only eleven.
Are all Yanks as anxious as you to get themselves killed, Pilot Officer?
Not anxious to die, sir. Just anxious to matter.
This is yours.
Good chap.
Didn't die till he'd landed and shut down his engine.
Please be seated, gentlemen.
I'm afraid I'm in a bad mood.
Churchill and Stalin are asking me what I'm asking you.
How long is America going to pretend the world is not at war?
We've increased food and oil supply shipments to them, Mr President...
and as far as I know--
What they really need are tanks, planes, bullets, bombs and men to fight.
But our people think Hitler and his Nazi thugs are Europe's problem.
We have to do more.
Send the Brits and Russians more of our ships and anti-aircraft weapons.
And keep cannibalizing the Pacific Fleet?
What choice do we have?
We're building refrigerators while our enemies build bombs.
This is so exciting.
You know, there's about a hundred ships on Pearl.
And how many sailors per ship?
It depends. There's more on a battleship than a sub.
But say, on average, 2,000?
Yeah, but then there's the fliers, the marines, the base personnel.
I'm still working on the sailors.
Girls, I think the odds are in your favour.
Yeah, like 4,000 to 1.
It's paradise.
See you on the beach, boys! We're in Hawaii!
Hey, you know, you're not supposed to be paintin' titties on the side of my aeroplanes.
And if you do, don't make 'em lopsided.
- They were lopsided, Earl. - Look, it says right here.
"Never ride waves amongst rocks or submerged pilings."
See, it says you shouldn't do that.
Well, how you gonna know they're submerged if they're submerged?
Hey, Gooz, what in the hell are you doing?
He's trying to fix this surfboard thing of his.
He keeps taking chunks off his nose on the rocks.
I thought I'd come in on my day off, work on my new invention--
the Gooz cruise fin.
I'm gonna be a rich fella.
Every surfboard in the nation's gonna need one.
Yeah? You're gonna need a broom.
Oh. Check out these new recruits.
- Hi. - Aloha.
Y'all pilots?
We're working on it.
There's a lot of switches and stuff.
- Pride of the Pacific. - Who are you?
Terrors of the Skies.
- Welcome, ladies. - Hi.
I have to deal with Coastie's sunburnt rump...
before I can show you around.
Dear Evelyn...
it's different than I thought it would be here.
It's cold.
So cold it goes deep into your bones.
There is one place I can go to find warmth.
That is to think of you.
I just wish I could be back there with you.
It's not easy making friends.
Two days ago, I had a beer with a couple of the RAF pilots.
Yesterday, both of them got killed.
Dear Rafe...
I miss you so much.
It's so strange to be half a world away from you.
I'm right on his tail!
Got one!
Every night I look at the sunset...
and try to draw the last ounce of heat from its long day...
and send it from my heart to yours.
Family?
Girl, sir.
The girl.
A lot of people frown on the Yanks for not being in this war yet.
I'd just like to say...
if there are many more back home like you...
God help anyone who goes to war with America.
Atten-hut!
Attention on deck! Admiral Kimmel...
commander-in-chief, Pacific Fleet, on deck.
Sharp presentation, Captain.
Thank you, Admiral Kimmel.
For four months now, Washington's been blowing pink smoke...
about the threat from japan.
Could make us lose our fighting edge. I'm determined not to let that happen.
With your permission, Captain.
Admiral, urgent, from Washington.
I'm supposed to keep this fleet battle-ready to take on the japanese...
cover half the damn globe.
Now they want me to transfer another 12 destroyers to the Atlantic.
Don't they know what we're facing out here?
They feel Europe is the greater danger, Admiral.
I'm assuming these risk assessments include Hawaii.
Well, Pearl Harbor is too shallow for an aerial torpedo attack...
and we're surrounded by sub nets.
All we have to worry about here is sabotage...
so we bunched our planes together to make them easier to protect.
Distance is our ally, Admiral.
You analysts got it all figured out, don't you?
The smart enemy hits you exactly where you think you're safe.
I fixed the hydraulics and electrical systems, sir...
but the oil hoses still need attention.
- just crank it, Ian! - God speed you, sir.
Red section, take the bombers. Blue section, look out for fighters.
Bombers dead ahead.
Let's drop in on 'em and give 'em a reception.
Red Two, follow my lead, high side.
- Go right at the lead bomber. - Following you, Red One.
Good hit! Good hit!
Red One, coming around, reset for the kill.
I have the middle bomber.
Hammer down!
We got him. Nice shot, Red Two.
I got two M.E.'s dead ahead.
I'm on him. I'm on his tail. Hammer down.
I got one of them!
I got another one.
Red One, you got fighters all over your tail!
I'm under fire! I'm taking fire!
Red One, get out of there. Pull up! Pull up!
I got an oil leak!
Can't see a damn thing!
I can't bail! My canopy's stuck!
I can't bail out!
He's on my tail, Red Two.
I'm hit! I'm hit!
Mayday! Mayday!
Oh, my God.
- I'm no good at church. - What do you mean, sweetie?
Well, whenever I'm up there getting my slate wiped clean...
I can't help but think of how I'm gonna dirty it up again.
- This from a virgin. - I've got to inventory supplies.
Oh! Kill me now. Could you be any more boring?
Don't bother. Sundays she writes Rafe.
Ten pages instead of the usual five.
Gosh, I wish I was in love.
Hey, sweetheart.
She hates me.
- Good to see you, Red. - Sure good to see you, too, Betty.
What are you doing? You wanna come for a ride? Come on.
Yeah, I'll be your chauffeur.
That-a-boy! Be a mad dog!
You hit pretty hard for a cook.
All right, Walker, who you got? Come on. Fight's almost over.
- I'll take the cook. - Why? You don't like money?
Come on! Get out there now!
- I'll put five on it. - Done.
Against the mechanic? That guy craps rivets.
How's it feel up from that dark, oily engine room? Sunlight botherin' you?
Ow.
Man, he's getting all busted up in there!
Move! Move!
Come here. We gotta talk. Get down here.
- He can't hurt us. - He can hurt us.
- He cut us. We bleeding. - Bleeding?
That's a scratch. You see this here?
This here's the hard-earned greenbacks of every pot-scrubbin', dish-washin' chop in this here fleet.
Now, if we don't win, the Teeny here has to find himself another battleship.
'Cause there's no way I'm going back to the Arizona empty-handed.
Don't worry about the money.
I'm gonna send that smug engine-fixin' snipe...
back below decks where he belong.
Come on, man! We the man! You the man!
He slapped your mama, remember? Be a son of a bitch!
Look at this! All right, Dorie!
That's enough. That's enough.
Oh! Where's my money?
Nah. Fight's rigged.
We're rich!
How'd you get this?
Boxing.
Did you win?
Yes, ma'am.
What do you get for winning?
Respect.
So why do you have to fight with your fists to get respect?
I left my mama in Texas and joined the navy to see the world...
become a man.
They made me a cook.
Not even that. I, uh, clean up after other sailors eat.
Two years, they never even let me fire a weapon.
Well, let's hope you never have to.
Yes, ma'am.
You take care, Petty Officer Miller.
You, too, ma'am.
You know, he taught me to fly.
I always knew that no matter what kind of trouble I got into...
I'd never be in it alone.
He'd be there with me.
Up there, he was always pushing me to be better and faster.
He told me you were a great flier.
It was the same night he told me he volunteered to go to England.
Volunteered?
He--
He told me he'd been assigned.
He was always trying to protect me.
But you know what? I look at myself in the mirror in this uniform...
and I still don't know who I am.
I look like a hero...
but I don't feel like it.
Rafe...
he always looked the part, didn't he?
He couldn't wait to be one.
To Rafe McCawley.
The best pilot...
and the best friend I ever knew...
or ever will know.
To Rafe.
Look at this. Look at this.
The japanese are flooding the Pacific with radio traffic.
Everywhere from the Panama Canal to Southeast Asia.
There's no logical pattern in it, Captain.
No, there's-- There's always logic.
They know we read their mail.
They're trying to make us think their fleet is moving south.
I'm not buying it.
Something, something-- Something's up.
Otherwise, why would they take the trouble to bullshit me?
Evelyn, um, I signed for these letters for you today.
They're from England.
They're from Rafe.
I'm sorry, Ev.
You know how long it takes mail to get here.
- Hurry up! - Show time, boys! Come on!
America still awaits Japan's response to peace proposals.
Ambassador Nomura arrives in Washington...
in what could hopefully guarantee continued peace in the Pacific.
On the British front, Churchill declares...
"Give us the tools, and we will finish the job. "
The RAF has fought bravely...
against Hitler's ambition to rule the skiies over the Channel.
Victory does not come without sacrifice.
- Evelyn! - Danny.
- Hey. - Some comedy, huh?
- Yeah. - It's been awhile.
Yeah, I've been logging a lot of flight hours.
I kinda been avoiding you too.
Yeah.
- Look-- - Do you--
- Do you want to? - Sure, yeah.
I remember this one time when I was like seven years old.
I was always building these gadgets and things.
He told me he wanted me to build him some wings...
so that he could fly like his daddy, dusting crops.
I told him you can't fly without some kind of engine, right?
But he wouldn't listen. You know, he told me...
"Danny, never mind all that. Just build 'em anyway."
So I did.
And I'm up there, strapping these big ol' wings on his back...
that we made from paper and glue and these massive silk bloomers that we stole.
He looked so stupid, you know? And I told him...
"You can't jump off the barn in these."
And bam!
He busted his leg on the backhoe.
God, I miss him.
Yeah, but don't you think that Rafe wasn't back up there the next day...
cast and everything...
telling me to make some adjustments on those wings.
Wow. Check this out. Crossroads to the Pacific.
Tahiti, 1,700 miles. All right! Okay.
Say, Betty.
- No, Betty! Get up! - What's going on, Red?
- You've gotta stand up, please. - What do you mean, get up?
Just stand up. Stand up here.
Oh!
- Betty-- - Red, come on!
We got a dinner reservation.
Can I get a minute?
What's the matter, you sick?
Can a guy propose?
Oh! Thankyou!
Am I talking too much? Sometimes I do that. I'm sorry.
Hold up. Look at this.
Hello.
- Okay, let's get out of here. - Okay. Hey!
I guess I should go.
Don't let it be three months before I see you again, all right?
- I had a good time. - Yeah, me too.
- Do you want me to walk you home? - No, I'll be fine.
No. Of course.
- Good night, Danny. - Good night.
I was just wondering if maybe I could come by some time...
get a cup of coffee or a piece of pie.
What am I doing?
Okay.
Oh! You were asleep. I'm sorry.
Danny?
Is something wrong?
No! There's nothing wrong. There's no problem. Hi.
It's just Danny.
I just-- You-- You forgot this.
Oh.
Thanks. It was good of you to take the trouble to drop it over now.
I-- I thought you might need it, you know...
uh, maybe tomorrow morning.
If, uh-- I mean, not that you wear this to work, but--
No. It's a hanky.
Right, right. Yeah.
Listen, I was thinking maybe, uh, I could come by some time or give you call--
If I gave you a call, could I come by some time?
Once, maybe, if you're not busy?
Yeah, maybe.
- Maybe? - Maybe.
Okay, all right.
- Thanks. Good night. - Goodbye. Good night. Good night.
You are such an idiot.
- Did you have fun last night? - It wasn't how it looked.
And if it was, it'd be all right. It's been months. It's time to move on.
- I am moving on. - Ev, don't lie.
All I know is I hear you crying when you think I'm asleep.
When my dad left, I was too much for my mom to handle...
so she sent me to live with my aunt.
I thought my life was over, but you don't know where it's all going to lead.
If I hadn't have run away and lied about my age and enlisted in the navy...
I-- I wouldn't have met Red, and-- now he's my fiance.
Oh, God, I can't get used to that word.
- It's only been 12 hours. - Oh, Betty.
Uh, Little Betty beat us all to the post.
And this is ward three. As you can see, no patients.
Welcome to Hawaii. Come on. I'll show you the bar.
Sandra, new recruits to torture.
- Come on. Excuse me, ladies. - Hi!
We're gonna wait two years until I'm 19 and Red can buy me a ring.
Rafe sent his best friend to tell you so you would be okay...
so you can move on.
You gotta go on living, Ev.
Red!
Oh! Sorry.
Bye, Rafe.
The japanese fleet is missing.
They're operating under radio silence.
This footage was shot four days ago on October 28.
Well, we're sending scout planes in wider vectors all over the Pacific...
but they get nothing.
Now, they could be anywhere in here.
I don't understand how two whole carrier divisions can just disappear.
Clear!
Oh, we're all over the page.
We got one walleyed and one pigeon-toed.
- Anthony, tap in number six. - All right.
- Gooz? - Yeah?
- Tap in number three. - All right.
Hey, we got a visitor.
Oh, that ain't no navy issue uniform, eh?
- Danny, it's Evelyn. -jesus.
- You all right? - Yeah, yeah.
No.
I think I'm falling for her.
Wow. You know, I saw this coming.
I didn't want this to happen. It just kind of did. Can't help it.
Well, Danny, she's got to be with somebody. It might as well be you.
You're telling me if you were dead, and you saw your best buddy doing your girl...
you wouldn't come back and beat the livin' crap out of him?
- Tony, back off. - I'd be back so fast.
Danny's being a better friend taking care of her himself.
I got a girlfriend.
That's great. Come on, fellas. Let's split.
Danny, whatever happens now is just about you and her.
You got to try and forget about Rafe.
Be careful, all right?
Ladies cloud the mind.
- Thanks, Gooz. - You're welcome.
Hey, Danny.
Where's everybody going?
Just being discreet.
Does it seem like everybody's acting a little strange?
No, no.
Right.
Well, maybe-- maybe a little, yeah.
Well, people in this outfit have way too much time on their hands.
Oh, yeah.
I just hope they don't think there's been something going on between us. That's all.
Oh, no, I mean, no. I mean, that would be embarrassing, right?
I forgot my wrenches.
- It'd definitely be embarrassing. - Yeah.
- Hi. Forgot my wrenches. - Hey. He really doesn't have to leave.
No.
I, uh-- I'm just going out with the girls, so--
- Guess I'll see you later. - Yeah.
- All right. - Yeah. All right. I'll see you around.
Shit.
Evelyn?
Have you ever seen Pearl Harbor at sunset?
- Of course. - Well, from the air?
You know, I could get kicked out of the military for this.
- Really? - Yes. Stay down.
The Hawaiians call this harbour Wai Momi.
- It means "water of pearls." - It's so beautiful.
My dad took me up a couple of times.
Just don't do what he did. What do you call it? When you flip over?
- A barrel roll? - Yeah.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh, my God.
- What do you think? - I like that.
- Hey, that plane was supposed... - Duck.
to be back here an hour ago.
Quick. Hide in the parachute hangar.
My heart is pounding.
Danny, last night--
No, that's terrible.
Danny, we need to talk about this.
- Sir. Evelyn! - Danny!
Hey. Hi.
Hi.
I didn't sleep a wink last night.
I had to see ya.
Last night was crazy, I know, but I'm not sorry.
Are you?
I don't know.
Danny, I had a wonderful time last night. I--
- It's just all too fast. - Listen, Evelyn.
I was just down at the beach this morning, and I watched the sun rise...
and I knew that everything was gonna be different...
that this was the start of something new...
in this place, in this moment...
and I don't care what anybody else says, you know?
How can I not feel this way?
I kind of like ya.
Oh, you do?
You have your tie on crooked.
Everything's gonna be all right, okay?
Everything's gonna be all right.
Do you have any air tours going through the valley of Oahu?
You do?
Aloha. This is KGMB in Honolulu...
on another beautiful fall day here in paradise.
We have enough information.
We are returning home.
Do you ever wonder if this war's gonna catch up with us?
Not a whole lot.
Every moment we're not together, you're up there training for it.
Yeah, well, I'm training for moments like these.
'Cause I have no idea how I'm gonna get this car out of the sand.
Evelyn, can you please come out of the bathroom?
You've been there for an hour. Evelyn!
What are you trying to do? Look like me?
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
What's the matter? No, you--
They call it the Vacant Sea.
None of the major sea lanes go through it...
and you could bury the entire land mass of Asia there, and nobody would know.
From there, they could attack anywhere.
Our last signals intercept indicate that the japanese task force...
is heading south, toward the Philippines or Southeast Asia.
But Captain Thurman of Naval Intelligence here...
has his own theory about the missing ships.
Sir, I believe they'll try to hit us where it'll hurt us the most--
Pearl Harbor.
That's over 4,000 nautical miles from japan.
To Pearl, that's a long distance to steam a navy, Captain.
Your theory-- It's based on what?
Well, it's what I would do.
It's not exactly hard evidence, Captain Thurman.
Well, Admiral, if I had hard evidence, we'd already be at war.
Sir, we can read their diplomatic codes faster than they can type them.
But Captain Thurman's cryptology team is still trying to crack the naval codes.
The intercepts have missing words and garbled lines.
So to explain the decrypts...
we have to try to interpret what we think they're trying to do.
Interpret? You mean, guess.
They use their informed intuition, sir.
We guess. It's like playing chess in the dark.
Any rumour, troop movement, ship movement, spine tingle, goosebump...
we pay attention to it.
When I was in the Asiatic fleet, the locals used to try to...
get outside of a problem to try to see the inside.
Well, I see a strike on Pearl.
It's the worst thing that could happen.
A blow to Pearl would devastate the Pacific Fleet's ability to make war.
So, sir, you would have us mobilize the entire fleet...
at the cost of millions of dollars...
based on this spine-tingling feeling of yours?
No, sir. I understand my job is to gather and interpret material.
Making difficult decisions based on incomplete information...
from my limited decoding ability is your job, sir.
Then break the damn naval code, Captain, so I can make a better decision.
Aye, sir. We are trying.
I wonder if we shouldn't put the Pacific Fleet on full alert.
In case the optimism of the Honolulu Advertiser...
proves unfounded, gentlemen...
what are General Short and the army going to do about protecting my ships?
Within a ten-mile radius of your harbour...
we have fighter planes here at Wheeler...
bombers at Hickam and a training strip at Haleiwa.
We've recently established a radar station here that can detect planes 125 miles out.
Which is a month old, Admiral, and untested.
I've seen these new radar screens, Major.
There's no way of telling whether they're ours, theirs or a flock of damn birds.
I'm intercepting a call from Tokyo to somewhere close by Pearl.
There's a call from Tokyo. They say they don't know you.
Hello?
It's a local dentist. He can see Pearl Harbor from his office.
"Are there many sailors around?"
Uh, the dentist says that the flat ships are not in port.
They're talking about the weather.
He doesn't seem to know who he's talking to.
Hello?
That was a strange call.
Admiral, may I speak to you in private?
Why would a spy use a phone?
They know we tap all international lines.
Our listeners feel it's probably not code talk.
It sounds like someone in japan is sneaking around...
asking a local citizen the location of our carriers.
Well, that makes me feel all warm inside.
Get the FBI on it immediately.
Have we found the goddam japanese fleet yet?
No, Admiral, the bases are looking all over the Pacific.
So the entire fleet could be rounding Diamond Head right now.
We wouldn't know a thing about it.
Get on it.
I'm alive.
This is the first I could get word out.
I told you I'd come back.
Here. Sit down. Sit down. Come here.
It's okay.
It's all right.
- You're real. - Yeah.
- I wished for this every day. - I know. Me too.
Every second, so did I.
I thought you were dead. They-- They said you were shot down in the sea.
Yeah, I was.
I was in the ocean. It was so cold.
I missed you.
I got picked up by a-- a French fishing boat, and I--
I was in Occupied France. I couldn't get word out.
I'll tell you all about it. I promise.
But I'm fine. I'm okay, and I'm here now.
I just wanted to see you. You're so beautiful.
I love you.
Hey, it's okay. It's okay.
Evelyn-- Evelyn, I'm back.
It's okay. I won't leave you again. I promise.
Rafe, you died.
So did I.
I know, but I'm-- I'm-- It's fine now. I'm back.
We're together.
I mean, we are together, right?
I don't know where I am.
Rafe.
Rafe?
Stay away.
Rafe!
This is Radio Honolulu, playing the sweetest music...
on the sweetest island in the Pacific.
It's a beautiful December 6 with beautiful music...
from the beautiful beach of Waikiikii.
- Rafe! - Rafe!
Oh! God damn it. There you go.
A real live ace!
An ace is only five. I shot down six M.E.'s.
- And I got two smokers too. They don't count them. - Oh, sorry.
Of course, I got shot down myself before they could pin me.
You got back from behind enemy lines, huh? What was that combat like?
- Were you scared? - Hey! One at a time.
Oh, fine.
Well, them Luftwaffe boys can fly pretty good. It's not like, you know, training. They're, uh--
- Danny. - You know, they're all about tactics is what it is.
You see, the Nazis, right? They're faster than you are.
So they'll disappear, and they get up in the soup.
They'll throw like a roll or a hammerhead and come around your high side, you know.
Shoot you from behind, like some Americans will.
Hey, Gooz, you're lookin' at a real live ace.
Well, let me give you the shirt off my back.
- Aloha! There you go! - I'll take it from you!
You all are having a pretty good time out here.
Hey, Rafe, we got to talk, all right?
Ain't got nothing to talk about with you. Here.
Why don't you have a drink?
I'll make a toast.
To returnin' from the dead.
Wasn't all I expected, but, well, that's life.
And to-- to my best friend and loyal buddy Danny...
for keeping up the war effort back here at home.
- Yeah. - All right, here we go. - That was good.
You know, where I come from, somebody makes a toast to you...
and you don't drink, that's sayin' somethin'.
All right, Rafe, that's how it's gonna be.
- To you. - Hey, you guys need to spend some time alone, I think.
Oh, hell, no, Red. Come on.
What are you talking-- No, no, no. We're celebrating here.
Me over there fightin'.
Almost gettin' killed.
My friend Danny back here, looking after my interests for me.
You all know Danny was even good enough to look out for my girl for me while I was gone.
We thought you were dead, Rafe, and it gutted us both...
and we were just trying to get on with our lives.
Life is good, ain't it, Danny?
You know, you're a rotten drunk. You always have been.
Yeah, well, you're a lousy friend. That's a new development.
You left her to fight somebody else's war.
And you made damn sure that I didn't go with ya, and we thought that you were dead!
I almost did die, you little son of a bitch.
Her face was the last thing that went through my mind.
So don't stand there and tell me to act like it's all right.
Yeah, Rafe, well, I stayed.
I stayed, and you made sure of that, and some things changed.
- I hope you can get used to that. - Oh, I have to get used to it.
- Yeah. - All right.
We'll see how I can get used to it.
- Get used to that, boy. - Hey!
- And that's my left hand too. - Hey, hey, hey!
Come on!
Melee at the Hula-la! Send MP's!
You called me a lousy friend?
Shit!
Come on!
- Let's go get 'em! - Move out!
Oh, they're gonna throw us in the brig. Let's go.
Oh, shit.
Rafe, you're the only family I got.
When you were gone, it was the loneliest I'd ever been.
The same for her too.
Oh, boy, now you're really breaking my heart.
If you hadn't gone, none of this would have happened.
Oh, so it's my fault, I guess.
Damn it, Rafe.
I just know there's got to be some way...
we can work things out so that...
things can be right between me and you.
I just don't see how it could ever be the same.
Revered father...
I go now to fulfil my mission and my destiny.
I hope it is a destiny that will bring honour to our family.
And if it requires my life...
I will sacrifice it gladly to be a good servant of our nation.
Hey, I got a large haze.
That's too big to be planes, right?
Is that what you want to do? Knight to knight five?
Boom! Wrong move.
Lieutenant! Radar's picking up a large return moving in from the northeast.
Hang on.
Relax. It's a flight of B-17's coming in from the mainland.
Nothing to worry about.
Heck of a lot of B-1 7's.
Good shot, Hot.
This better be good, Commander.
One of our destroyers reports having fired and sunk enemy submarine...
attempting to enter Pearl Harbor at 0653.
- It's 7:20. - We had decoder delays, Admiral.
Relay this to Washington. Recall the staff.
"Failure--
Peace talks useless."
Thurman here. Tokyo transmitting to their embassy in Washington.
"Discontinue use of your decoding machine and dispose of immediately.
Special emphasis on destroying important parts." Do you read that? Acknowledge.
Admiral, Naval Intel intercepted a transmission from Tokyo...
to the japanese embassy in Washington...
instructing them to break apart all decoder machines...
and burn all secret documents.
The japanese are expectin' a war.
Should we?
Warning of possible japanese aggressive movement in any direction.
"Broken relationship. Hostilities imminent." But where?
Did you ever lose a fight, Miller?
I been lucky so far, Captain.
From what I hear, it ain't luck.
Ship's proud of you, son.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
How do you like that?
Why the hell is the navy doing practice this early on a Sunday?
- Heads up! - Where's that coming from?
Get down!
Go! Go, go, go!
I'm with navy newsreel, and I can tell you one thing! Them ain't navy planes!
-All hands, man your battle stations! -We're being bombed! We're being bombed! Get up! Get up!
All hands, man your battle stations.
Jesus Christ!
- Man your battle stations! All hands, man your battle stations. - Another dumb drill.
- All hands, man your battle stations! - What the heck was that?
- It's a bomb! - Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!
Son of a b--
Go! Go!
Get me the engine room!
My God.
Take cover!
Down! Down!
- Report battle stations! Manned and ready! - Man your battle stations.
Man your battle stations!
This is no shit! They just sunk the Arizona!
- General quarters! General quarters! - Hustle! Hustle!
All hands, man your battle stations! This is no damn drill!
- jap planes! - Go! Go!
They look like japs.
I didn't even know the japs were sore at us.
Danny, you just get me into a goddam aeroplane.
Holy jesus!
Oh, my God! This is good footage. Did you see that?
Holy cow!
I hope there's still an airfield left.
- Hurry up! - What in the world?
Look. So many.
Everybody to the hospital!
Why is the navy always buzzin' us?
Shut up, Red!
- Hey, come on. - Red, it's too early for this.
The japs are here!
- What the hell? - Let's go! Let's go!
Get outta here!
Run! Run!
- It's the japs! - Take cover! - Get down!
- Take cover! - Let's go! Hurry up!
- General quarters! - Get corpsmen to the bridge. - Aye, Captain.
Repair says third deck is flooding port side.
Look out!
Get up! Get up, you cowards! Get up there and fight! Move it!
- Incoming! - Take cover!
Go, go, go!
Oh, my God!
- I got you, Captain. - You radio for air cover!
Initiate damage control.
Find my XO! Tell him to assume command!
- And you make sure the gunners-- - Everyone is where they need to be, Captain.
You trained us well.
Captain?
Okay.
Get down now!
Oh, my God!
Go, go, go! Go!
Let's go! Let's go! Everybody move! Let's move it!
Get to the guns!
Get the ammo for that 50 cal! Get that 50 cal!
Let's get a fuel hook-up!
- Let's go! We're gotta get-- - Hey!
Come on, man! We gotta get this thing loaded up!
Get to the planes!
Let's go! Let's go!
- Get the fuel. - Help!
Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
Come on! Get down!
Down! Down!
Get to the planes! Get to the planes!
Come on!
Get down!
Danny, get me into a damn plane.
Come on!
- Planes coming in! - Get down!
Get some ammo up here! We need to man these guns!
Sir! Captain says you're in charge, sir!
We need more ammo! Now!
Send up ammunition for the five-inch guns.
- Medic! - All of'em! Now!
Send everything you got!
Come on!
Come on, you sum'bitch!
Oh, yeah!
I need a doctor! Somebody help me!
Take a deep breath! Come on! Breathe!
Get to the supply room!
Get everything out!
Planes incoming!
Cut 'em down!
Come on! Come on! Get 'em away from the windows!
Get against the wall!
The mattresses! Get 'em against the wall!
Take cover!
- Is everybody all right? - Can you stand?
Come on! Help 'em out!
- Hold your fire! - Get to the guns! Hurry up!
Get down, Danny!
- Earl! - This is Walker.
We need to get those planes fuelled and loaded right now!
- What's going on out there, huh? - Danny, what the hell's that noise?
You guys doing target practice or something?
I think World War II just hit us.
- Get down! - Go, go, go!
- Billy! - Run!
Bomb!
It's a dud.
- It's a bomb! - It's a dud!
Get down!
- Danny! Danny, you all right? - I'm all right!
Come on! Let's go! Come on! Let's go! Gooz, come on, man!
We're sinking! We're sinking!
Stay together! Close the hatches!
- I can't swim! - You hang on!
Move it! Now!
Joe! Go! Go!
- Come on! - We're gettin' out of here! Get in the car!
Get in! Get in! Let's go! Go! Go! Go!
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
- Where's this place we're goin'? - We got a small mechanic runway about 1 0 minutes away.
Hasn't been hit yet.
Zeros on our six!
Duck!
We're trapped.
Try-- Try the door!
Oh, my God! I'm gonna be under! I'm gonna be under!
- It's sucking me back! - The current's too strong!
Watch it! They're still shootin' us!
I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!
- This is it. - Help! There's no way out!
How bad?
It's still not over, sir.
An entire fleet at anchor.
My God. My God.
Barbara, fill every syringe you can find with morphine!
Fill up the kitchen! Fill up the ki--
Are you listening to me? Fill up the kitchen!
Over there! Over there!
- Bad neck wound here! We got a dire neck wound! - Surgery!
Go! We've got to get him to surgery!
Oh, God. In here.
Guy's still bleeding. Give me another haemostat.
Hurry! Haemostat! Give me a haemostat now!
Hurry!
Give me another haemostat. Give me another suture.
- Oh, God! I'm so sorry! - Hurry it up!
- Doctor! - Here it is!
Am I gonna die? Am I gonna die?
Nurse!
- Don't leave me! - Doctor, get over here!
My fingers are plugging his artery.
Doctor, what do you need?
Doctor, focus. Look at me. What do you need?
- H-H-H-Haemostat. - Haemostat.
Here. All right. Look at me.
It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be all right.
I need more ammo! I need more ammo, ladies!
I need more ammo!
- Earl! We good to go? - Yeah, mostly, but--
- Get down! Get down! - Shit! Take cover! - Oh, jeez--
Oh, my God! Earl, get in here!
Hey, Sergeant! They come back around, we're gonna need more than a shotgun.
You got any other weapons and ammo you can lay us some cover fire?
Yeah, inside that ammo locker!
Come on! Let's go! Move it!
Go! Go! Go! Gimme a gun, goddam it!
You said the planes were mostly ready "but." But what?
Well, she's down, she's broke, she's shit. I got four left.
One's good to go, two need ammo, one needs fuel.
Fall out. Load up in the bunker.
- Let's go! Get down! - Move! - Come on!
- Get ready to roll. - Get down! Down!
All right, Anthony, Red...
you two are gonna stay here and man the 50-calibre.
Gooz, you get up to the next bunker and you lay down some cover fire, all right?
Planes!
Should we fire?
Stay down! Stay down! No, goddam it, hold your fire!
- Stay still. Nobody fire. - Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! - Hold your fire.
They don't know we're here.
- Stay down. - We can fire. - No, no, no, no, no, goddam it.
They don't know we're here. Stay down. Stay still. Don't fire.
Oh, God.
I don't see any ordinance. I think they're goin' home.
No, they'll be back. We still got planes on the ground.
All right, you pilots, listen up. Get all the airspeed you can coming off the runway.
Don't get on the stick till you get to the very end.
When you get in the air, stay low between the buildings.
You see any Zero on your tail, try to wipe him off. Don't freeze.
All right? just keep moving. We're gonna try to break 'em up and separate 'em.
- That way we can take 'em out one by one. - All right.
P-40s can't outrun Zeros, so don't try.
