1:06:00
So to explain the decrypts...
1:06:02
we have to try to interpret
what we think they're trying to do.

1:06:05
Interpret? You mean, guess.
1:06:08
They use their
informed intuition, sir.

1:06:12
We guess. It's like
playing chess in the dark.

1:06:14
Any rumour, troop movement, ship
movement, spine tingle, goosebump...

1:06:18
we pay attention to it.
1:06:20
When I was in the Asiatic fleet,
the locals used to try to...

1:06:22
get outside ofa problem
to try to see the inside.

1:06:25
Well, I see a strike on Pearl.
1:06:26
It's the worst thing
that could happen.

1:06:28
A blow to Pearl would devastate the
Pacifiic Fleet's ability to make war.

1:06:31
So, sir, you would have us
mobilize the entire fleet...

1:06:34
at the cost
of millions ofdollars...

1:06:36
based on this spine-tingling
feeling ofyours?

1:06:40
No, sir. I understand myjob
is to gather and interpret material.

1:06:44
Making diffiicult decisions
based on incomplete information...

1:06:47
from my limited decoding ability
is yourjob, sir.

1:06:52
Then break the damn naval code, Captain,
so I can make a better decision.

1:06:56
Aye, sir. We are trying.
1:07:16
I wonder ifwe shouldn't put
the Pacifiic Fleet on full alert.

1:07:25
In case the optimism
ofthe HonoluluAdvertiser...

1:07:27
proves unfounded, gentlemen...
1:07:30
what are General Short and the army
going to do about protecting my ships?

1:07:33
Within a ten-mile radius
ofyour harbour...

1:07:35
we have fiighter planes
here at Wheeler...

1:07:37
bombers at Hickam
and a training strip at Haleiwa.

1:07:49
We've recently established
a radar station here that
can detect planes 1 25 miles out.

1:07:53
Which is a month old, Admiral,
and untested.

1:07:56
I've seen these
new radar screens, Major.

1:07:59
There's no way oftelling
whether they're ours, theirs
or a flock ofdamn birds.
