Pearl Harbor Full Movie (HD)

Pearl Harbor Full Movie (HD)

Release Date: May 25, 2001

In the summer of 1940 Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Danny (Josh Hartnett) are First Lieutenants in the United States Army Air Corps under the command of Major Jimmy Doolittle (Alec Baldwin). Rafe meets Evelyn Johnson (Kate Beckinsale), a Navy nurse who passes him for his physical examination even though he has dyslexia, and is instantly smitten. The two soon begin dating and fall in love.However, Rafe has volunteered to serve with the Royal Air Force's Eagle Squadrons. Before Rafe leaves for England, he makes a promise to Evelyn that he will come back for her. Evelyn and Danny are transferred with their respective squadrons to Pearl Harbor. Rafe is shot down over the English Channel and presumed to have been killed in action.Three months later, Evelyn and Danny bond over their mourning of Rafe and unexpectedly develop feelings for each other. They soon begin their own relationship.
On the night of December 6, 1941, Rafe unexpectedly returns to Pearl Harbor, having survived the crash and being stranded in occupied France in the interval. He quickly realizes that Evelyn and Danny are now together, and feeling hurt and betrayed, the two friends soon get into a fight at the local hula bar. The next morning, on December 7, they are interrupted by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor by Zero fighters, Val dive bombers and Kate torpedo bombers.
The surprise Japanese air raid sinks the battleships USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma and many other ships. Back at the hospital, Evelyn helps tend to the dozens of wounded who come in and must help decide who can and cannot be saved. Meanwhile, Rafe and Danny are the only two who manage to get airborne and shoot down seven Japanese aircraft with P-40s using their reckless tactics, including an old game of theirs called chicken. The two men then go to the hospital, where Evelyn takes blood from them for the hundreds of injured soldiers, and later aid in trying to rescue the many men still in the harbor. In the aftermath, the survivors attend a memorial service for the fallen victims after the U.S. declaration of war on Japan.
Rafe and Danny are both promoted to Captain, awarded the Silver Star and assigned to now-Colonel Doolittle for a dangerous and top-secret mission. Before their departure, Evelyn meets Rafe and reveals that she is pregnant with Danny's child, although she doesn't want Danny to know so he can focus on the upcoming mission. She says that she is going to remain with Danny, though deep down she will always love Rafe just as much. Rafe accepts this.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Jon Voight) wants to send a message that the Japanese homeland is not immune from bombing. Danny, Rafe and others are to fly B-25 Mitchell medium bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, bomb Tokyo and then land in friendly Chinese territory. The two men succeed in their bombing but crash-land into a rice field in a Japanese-held area when their bombers run out of fuel. Just as Rafe is about to be shot, Danny flies over head and shoots the attacking Japanese soldiers. Danny's plane then crashes and he is wounded. Japanese come in and attack Rafe and start to hold the others captive. They tie Danny to a cattle holder. Rafe picks up a gun and kills several Japanese. Danny acts as human shield for Rafe and is fatally wounded. Rafe holds a dying Danny in his arms, telling him he can't die because he's going to be a father. With his dying words, Danny tells Rafe to raise his child for him. The crew arrives back in Hawaii and a hopeful Evelyn awaits. She sees Rafe and is excited, but then sees him carrying Danny's coffin.
At the end of the war, Dorie Miller becomes the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross and Rafe is discharged from the Army. He and Evelyn, who are together again, and Danny's son, also called Danny, who Rafe is bringing up as his own, are back at the farm in Tennessee visiting Danny's grave. Rafe then takes his son flying, and the two fly off into the sunset in the old biplane.

-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!

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?

Hello?

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.

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

From what I hear, it ain't luck.

Ship's proud of you, son.

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!

Oh, God. In here.

Guy's still bleeding.
Give me another haemostat.

Hurry! Haemostat!
Give me a haemostat now!

Hurry!

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.

We're just gonna
have to outfly 'em.

We got high-level bombers. They're
gonna bust this hangar wide open.

- Grab the 50s! Let's move!
- Okay!
- Let's go! Let's go!

- Move! Move! Move!
- Go, go, go!

- Let's go!
- Zeros!

Take cover! Take cover!

Go! Faster!

Take cover! Take cover!

- Get down! Get down! Get down!
- Gooz, Danny, come on!

Get in there!

Danny!

Come on!
Come on, buddy!

Leave him! He's dead!
He's dead!

- All right, they're kickin' our butt.
Get to the aeroplanes! Let's go!
- Let's go!

- Come on. Go, go, go!
- Get up!

- Danny, let's run!
- Red, Anthony, let's go!

Hey! Come on! Help me!

Let's do it, Anthony!
Come on!

- Knock 'em dead.
- Here. Get in.
Here. Put these on.

They're coming around, boys!
Pick it up! Let's go, go, go, go, go!

Red, get outta here, goddam it!
I'm all right. Go! Go!

Come on, come on. Let's go.

- joe, get out the way!
- I'm rollin'! I'm rollin'!

Clear, clear! Go!

Planes!

Help me, damn it!

Hey,joe.joe, you got three Zeros
right behind you! You got
three Zeros on your six!

Turn! Turn!

Oh, God!

- Oh, shit.
- What are you doing?
Get goin'! Get movin'!

Danny, start that thing up
and get in the air, now.

I'm not much good
without a wingman.

- I need you.
- I got you.

Let's do it!

It's real tight, Rafe.
It's real tight.

Hey, Rafe, I'm not sure
we have enough runway!

Get your airspeed up
before you leave the dirt!

Don't freeze.
Don't freeze.

I don't think I'm gonna
make it up over this.

Get up! Get up!

We did it! I'm up!

We got Zeros behind us, Rafe!

How many you see back there?

We got five on our six!

Take it down
to the deck, Danny! Now!

We gotta split 'em up, Danny.

You take left,
I'll take right.

Earl, you better get some guns
in that goddam tower up there!

Okay, okay. Let's go!
Get to the truck! Let's go! Follow me!

Danny, I got three on my six!

Whoo!

Stop it! Stop it! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go! Move it!
Move it, Red.

- Let's go. Move it!
- Gimme the 50!

Let's go! Let's go! Come on!

I still got two
behind me, Rafe.

Coming in! Take cover!

Son of a bitch!

No!

Earl, do you hear me, goddam it?
Get some guns in that tower!

On the tower. Yeah.
Goin' ten storeys up.
It's a long son of a bitch.

- Look! Look!
- Move it!

Rafe, they're all over me.
I can't get 'em off me!

Danny, I still got three on my tail.

- Keep jinkin' it.
Don't let 'em get a handle on you.
- I can't shake 'em, Rafe.

Damn it.

Danny, let's play some chicken
with these jap suckers.

All right, I'm with you.

Jesus!

- I'm comin' right at you, Rafe.
- Don't break till I tell you. Hold on.

Not yet. Not yet!

Come on! Come on!

Go left, now!

- Whoo! We got 'em!
- Whoo! Ha-ha-ha!

Set up over there!

Come on. Load it.

Okay, we're at the top of the tower.

Earl, I got one on my tail.
I'm gonna bring him right by you.

He's comin' around! He's comin' around!
Let's get this jap sucker!

Hold your fire. Hold your fire.
Here he comes.

You better be cocked
and locked when I come by there.

Hold your fire.

Fire!

Whoo!
Good shootin', boys!

Nice job, Earl.

"Attack by japan considered imminent."

"Today you will be with me
in paradise." So fear not.

'Cause I always saw in you my light

- 1,500 cartons over there.
- Remember what jesus said:

- Admiral?
- The navy's planes are small.

- Any other questions?
- Well, sir...

- Are you nervous?

- Don't let in anyone without a mark.
- Stay back!

- Drop your ordnance.
- Bombs away.

- Engine one's fluctuating.
- We're gonna lose it any minute.

- Evelyn, we need a tourniquet!
- Tourniquet?

- Evelyn.
- Here. Use this.
- I need you to go outside.

- Excuse me, Major jackson.
- Yes.
- Do you remember me?

- Fellas?
- Sir.

- Get us outta here!
- Help!

- Hold on. just hold on one second.
- Rafe.

- How can we help?
- We need blood. Come on.

- How many yards?
- 400 yards and closing, sir.

- I can't.
- No, please, do it!

- I have to amputate here!
I have to amputate!
- You're not gonna die!

- I told you, stand back!
- Stay outside. Keep 'em outside.

- I wanna be in the command post.
- I'm sorry.

- I want you to do me a favour.
- What's that, Colonel?

- I will. I'll see you, Rafe.
- Rafe, we're the tip of the sword.

- I'm getting peppered up here!
- just hope they don't hit a prop.

- I'm hit!
- They're gonna tear this plane apart.

- I'm sure. I'm sure.
Now, lose it like a skirt, son.
- Release brakes!

- I-I-I don't--
I don't think she's breathing.
- No, she's dead. Take her.

- Is this all you got?
- That's all we got, Red.

- It's not marking. It's not ma--
Ev, you got a marker?
- Uh, uh, no.

- It's your personal effects.
- Thank you, sir.

- Let me try to pull this out for you.
- Where's Gooz?

- Let's go! Let's go! Move!
- Come on, you guys. Get up there!

- Lieutenants Rafe McCawley,
Daniel Walker?
- Major.

- Man your guns back there.
- I'm cocked and locked!

- Maybe this mission's a bad idea.
- No, they're too heavy. We got
to get drastic with these planes.

- Move 'em up!
- All right, full power!
Full power! Here we go!

- Mr President--
- Mr President!
- Get back, George. Get back.

- Yeah!

- Admiral?

- Pray for both of us.
- It's gotta be right!

- Rafe, no! Rafe!
- Danny!

- Rafe, you gotta prime it.
- I'm priming it. How about now?

- Secretary of the navy gave me these.
- What are they?

- So what's going on?
- Well, sir, we only have 1 6 planes.

- Superchargers low and latched.
- Superchargers are low and latched.

- Take the burn victims by the trees.
- I just found her.

- They're cuttin' through!
- Yeah!

- Try and clean that up.
- They're shooting flak at us!

- Turning on one!
- Turning on two!

- Wait here.
- Don't touch me, you jap!
Get your hands off me!

- Dropping ordnance.

- We got it!
- We got it!

- We're a dead stick.
- Get out of the nose!

- We're gonna make it.
- Yeah.

- We've got broomsticks for tail guns.
- Yeah, maybe it'll scare 'em.

- What do they want you
to do with them, sir?
- We're gonna wire them
to the bombs and give them back.

- What's your favourite gun?
- What?

- When did you find religion?
- When you assigned me
to this mission, sir.

- Who are you?

- Yeah. I will.

- You were right there for me
- You were right there for me

- You're gonna be just fine, sweetheart.
- I don't wanna die!
- You're gonna be just fine.

- You're gonna put a broomstick
where this gun was.
- A broomstick.

- You've got to be sure before you--
- She's dead. Get back to work.
- Oh, my God!

-jesus!
- What do you wanna do?

37 degrees. Target in sight.

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 everywhere I am

And everywhere I am

And everywhere I am

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!

Come on! 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.

Danny. Oh!

Danny?

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 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 keep a part of you with me

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 dreams, I'll always see you

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

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!

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, 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

Soar above the sky

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 you'll be

There you'll be

There you'll be

There you'll be

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 were right there for me

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.

in the far waters of the Pacific.

as a nation
of weaklings and playboys...

to life to avenge Pearl Harbor.

because we didn't face facts.

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--

to American military forces.

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.

got the morphine already.
