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.

1:07:03
Approach every landfall with caution.
1:07:06
Be prepared to fight or run for it.
1:07:09
But remember, your primary duty
is to get these people out.

1:07:14
Rusty will take the admiral
on the 34 boat.

1:07:18
And l'll take...
1:07:20
...the Army personnel with me.
1:07:24
We'll shove off at 2 1 00.
1:07:28
Motor whaleboat ready?
1:07:29
Whenever you are, sir.
1:07:31
Could Mulcahey take over my duty?
1:07:33
l'd like to go along and see Andy.
1:07:36
Yeah, sure.
We'll shove off at 2 1 00.

1:07:47
Easy does it.
Bring those boards up.

1:07:55
These drums will go overboard
on the first sea we hit.

1:07:57
Cross lash them.
1:07:58
Put them on right and tight.
