Mr. Brickley and Mr. Ryan.
1:05:25
Confidentially...
1:05:27
...the President has ordered me...
1:05:30
...and certain key personnel
to Australia.

1:05:34
Your boats will take us to Mindanao.
1:05:36
From there, an Army bomber
will fly us south.

1:05:40
You want to use
all four of the boats?

1:05:43
Yes.
Get them ready.

1:05:45
This is secret.
1:05:46
Repeat.
1:05:48
Secret.
1:05:50
You'll get the date when it's set.
1:05:52
Aye, aye, sir.
1:05:54
Just a minute.
1:06:04
l think you'll find all
the charts you'll need.

1:06:09
You know it's not going well
with us up here.

1:06:11
We get the news.
1:06:13
We're scraping up all we can
to form a naval battalion.

1:06:17
Can you spare any men?
1:06:20
We have two extra crews, sir.
1:06:23
l could use them, Brickley.
1:06:26
Yes, sir.
1:06:32
We're going to run south 600 miles.
1:06:35
There's bad weather out there.
1:06:36
lt'll be rough going.
1:06:38
lf any boat breaks down,
we'll have to let her go.

1:06:41
Expendable.
You know what that means.

1:06:45
First night's run...
1:06:47
...Cuyo lslands.
1:06:49
Hole up there during the day.
1:06:51
Second night's run...
1:06:54
...to Cagayan on Mindanao.
1:06:56
We still hold the airfield there,
but the Japs are moving fast.

1:06:59
lt's a question of how long
we can hang onto it.
