:44:01
over number two fuel tank.
:44:02
We're losing a little oil.
:44:04
Anything serious?
:44:05
No, sir. I would say
the damage is very slight.
:44:07
However, I recommend we put about
and have it repaired.
:44:10
Put about? You mean go home?
:44:14
Yes, sir. We could refuel
at the same time.
:44:17
Are you mad?
:44:19
We have fought our way out
into the Atlantic.
:44:22
This is no time to turn
and run for home.
:44:26
We wouldn't be running.
:44:27
We've won a tremendous victory.
:44:29
It's not the victory that was ordered.
:44:31
You haven't been close
to the high command, Lindemann.
:44:34
Do you know what will happen...
:44:36
when Admiral Raeder
reports the sinking of the Hood?
:44:39
The fuehrer will smile...
:44:41
and everyone else will smile...
:44:42
and then, a few moments later...
:44:44
he'll turn to Raeder with a scowl.
:44:47
"What about the convoys, Raeder?
:44:48
Have they sunk any convoys?"
:44:50
There will still be
plenty of convoys, sir...
:44:53
after we make repairs.
:44:54
Is your ship unmaneuverable, Captain?
:44:56
Are the guns damaged?
Anything out of action?
:44:59
No, sir.
:45:00
Then we will push forward...
:45:02
as instructed by the high command.
:45:04
But surely the fuehrer must realize...
:45:06
Are you going to tell the fuehrer
what he must realize?
:45:10
No, sir.
:45:11
Then do not tell me.
:45:12
For the time being...
:45:14
we will hold our present
course and speed.
:45:16
Yes, sir.
:45:17
There will be no further
statement to the press...
:45:20
not for the present.
:45:21
Make a signal to admiral
commanding First Cruiser Squadron.
:45:24
Suffolk and Norfolk
must maintain contact...
:45:26
with the Bismarck...
:45:27
so that Home Fleet can intercept.
:45:29
Continue shadowing as long
as you have fuel to do so.
:45:32
Excuse me, sir.
:45:33
This is Bismarck's latest
position, course, and speed.
:45:36
Send it to the C-in-C,
Home Fleet right away.
:45:39
Now, Shepard.
:45:40
At its present speed, sir...
:45:42
the Home Fleet cannot make
contact with Bismarck...
:45:45
until tomorrow...
:45:46
and then only if she maintains
her present course.
:45:49
What if she doesn't?
:45:50
That's it exactly, sir.
They won't make contact at all.
:45:53
Prime minister for you, sir.
