Down scope.

See any more of those
Japanese fly-boys,
Skipper?

No. But, we will.

They've got this
Philippine Coast pretty
well covered.

How are our passengers,
Len?

Closer than
kissin' cousins.

The Army isn't used
to such tight quarters.

Beats Corregidor, eh?

Yeah.
They aren't complaining.

It's just that
a couple of the higher
brass isn't used

to such close proximity
to the enlisted man.

Mmm-hmm.
I'm sure they don't mind
the enlisted man.

Aye-aye, sir.

Up scope.

Len, take a look.
Okay.

Must be off
an American ship.

I hope there's another one
around to pick them up.

There is.
Where?

Here.

Down scope.

Prepare to surface.
All right, sir.

Skipper. Those fly-boys
might be back any minute.

We wouldn't stand
a prayer against them.

Neither would
the men in that raft.

Well, this is just
plain suicide.
We're gonna surface.

Relax, Len. You never know,
there might be some nurses
on that raft.

Enemy aircraft bearing 165,
Position angle three, sir!

Clear the decks!
Get those men below!

Dive! Dive!

That was
a pretty close call.

Yeah, we've been
having our share
of them here lately.

It's not the first
for you though,
huh, Major?

Skipper, the General
would like to know our
exact time of arrival.

Yeah? Well, would you
inform the General

that our timetable
hasn't been too exact
here lately,

but, our estimated time
of arrival is about
two-and-a-half days.

Lieutenant, it just
seems to me

that if the Navy would've
wanted a periscope camera,

why, they would have
invented one long ago.

Well, Franklin, you didn't
enjoy the distinction

of serving in
the peacetime Navy,
like I did.

In those days, the Navy had
all the time in the world,
but no money.

Now, they've got
all the money,
but no time.

Say that again.

With this baby,
you can scour airstrips,
shipping... Anything.

And prove that you
saw it all.

Problem, Bates?

Well, no, sir.
Uh, I mean, yes, sir.

I mean, it can wait, sir.

It must be something
terribly important.
What is it?

Oh, well...
No, I'd rather not now, sir.
You're busy...

Bates, what's your
problem?

Well, sir, somebody hid
my bubble gum!

What again?

My whole supply.
And I got a sneakin' hunch
who it is.

Halliday, can you
clear up
this big mystery?

Yes, sir.
I hid it.

Why doesn't he
buy his own bubble gum?

Maybe you can
explain this?

Begging your pardon, sir,
maybe Bates can
explain this?

I tell you, this sub'll
never sink.

It's lined with
Bates' bubble gum.

Those charts are ready
on the bridge, Lieutenant.

Okay, thanks.

Halliday, you and Frank
come with me.

Bates, keep an eye
on that camera.

Aye, sir.
I'll watch it like a hawk.

Halliday will see you
get your bubble gum back.

If your mother knew
the trouble this caused,
she'd never send it to you.

I think I'll send
her a letter.

"Dear Mrs. Bates, will
you kindly stop sending your
son that bubble gum?"

It's just a bunch of...

Wow, I think I've died
and gone to heaven.

Is something wrong?
Come here.

Give me a buck.
A dollar? What for?

If you don't like what
you see, you get your
money back.

Whoa!

Come in.

Sit down, Conway.

I read your report.

You saved three men
from almost
certain drowning.

My compliments.

Thank you, sir.

And in doing so,
you risked
your entire crew,

a top Army General,
and a United States
submarine!

I thought I had
a fair chance to
save those men, sir.

Conway,
under the circumstances,

any skipper in
the Submarine Service

would have done
the same thing.

But when you're charged
with the responsibility

of carrying
a Four-Star General
on a top priority mission,

you've got to
play it by the book.

This is a war we're having,
not fleet maneuvers
off San Diego!

A fair chance isn't
good enough.

I understand, sir.

I hope you do,
because I'm sending you
on a mission

where there isn't any
leeway for mistakes.

Does that worry you?

Yes, sir.
Good.

These flags show
the known enemy bases,
and naval installations.

There are
a great many others
we don't know about.

Look how they're patterned,
like a bow, with the arrow
going straight through here.

Oh, the Coral Sea, huh?

Intelligence is positive.

Through the Coral Sea,
to New Guinea
and Australia.

And we're badly outnumbered,
but we're going to put
a task force

in front of them somehow.

Oh, if you're thinking
that you and
the Dragonfish

are going to join
this task force right away,
you're wrong.

I've got
a more important job
for you to do first.

More important than, uh...

Yes. A scouting mission to
locate the Japanese fleet.

We've got to have more
data on their strength
and their positions.

Especially the carriers.

We'll be operating
the radio silence, Admiral.
Right?

Yes. Any radio transmission
between the task force
and the Dragonfish

will alert the Japanese.

When you
accumulate your data,

you will rendezvous
with our ships,

give them the information
by blinker.

You leave here
at 0400 tomorrow.

Your recognition signal
and the rendezvous point
are in these sealed orders.

Open them on the eighth day,
proceed accordingly.

Now remember this.

If you have trouble,
any trouble,

your responsibility is
to those orders.

The Japanese must not know
our rendezvous point.

If you have to scuttle
yourself and sacrifice every
man on board to prevent it,

you'll do it.

That's all.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Oh, Admiral, um,
my Executive Officer's been

working on
a periscope camera.

He has confidence in it,
and he'd like your permission
to use it.

Certainly. If it works,
it could be very valuable
on this mission.

Keep the line moving!
Two bucks to see the
thrill of your life.

Shorty said it only cost
him a dollar.

What's the matter?
Didn't you ever hear of
the law of supply and demand?

Ah! Oh!

Okay, Mac, that's all.
Next!

Come on,
let's hurry up. We got to go.
Come on.

Come on, we've got
a whole crew behind us.
Let's go.

- Come on, let's go!
- Come on.

Bates!
Yes, sir.

Mind if I have a look
through my camera?

Oh, no, no, sir.

No charge, sir.
I mean, uh...

Here's my contribution
to the Recreation and
Welfare Fund.

Len, take a look.

Do you stand behind
that camera of yours?

It'll work, Captain.
Go ahead.

That should do it, Captain.
Good.

Put this through the scope
and see what happens.

Come on.

Perfect.
Absolutely perfect.

What about that,
Franklin?

I think Uncle Petrie
would be proud of you, sir.

Come on.

Carl who made this
coffee anyhow?

I don't know,
but it tastes like
battery acid to me.

Here you go!

Oh, beautiful, Len!
Beautiful, beautiful!

You know how important
this is, don't you, Len?

Sure.
Now we can give the
Admiral a picture

of every Japanese coastal
installation from here to
the rendezvous point.

Fancy Free.

Fancy Free.

- Len?
- Yeah?

Give me the carrier
identification book.

Okay.

It's nice.
What type?

Shoho, I think.

Here, take a look.

Yeah, here we are.
Shoho Class, 30,000 tons.

Holy, sweet suffering
sukiyaki.

You can say that again.

Holy, sweet suffering
sukiyaki.

Put down the scope.

You know what you were
looking at, don't you?

The whole carrier division
of the Imperial
Japanese Navy.

Probably the
Pearl Harbor boys.
Hmm.

Shall we call
battle stations?

No. The only thing we're
going to shoot this trip
is that camera of yours.

Well, I'll go get it.

No, we're not
going in yet.

How come we don't
have to, Skipper?

I can get that
whole rogues' gallery
right from here.

No. The only thing
I want you to do now
is plot the positions

of those channel buoys.

Afterwards, we'll
go out, surface,
charge our batteries,

come back for a closer
look in the morning.

But, Skipper, there might be
controlled mine fields
in there.

Right.
Yeah. And if we go down
below periscope depth,

well, those currents might
send us into
one of those mine fields.

That's a chance
we have to take.

What's the matter, Len,
didn't you ever hear of
a close-up?

Captain? Captain?
Hmm?

It's 0400, sir.

Thanks, Chief.
Tell the Conning Officer
I'll be right up.

Aye-aye, sir.

This is the Captain.
It is now 0415.

We're about to enter
a minefield.

I want every man
as quiet as possible

so we can get our information
and get out of here.

Rig ship for
silent running.

All compartments rigged
for silent running.

Bring it up to five,
eight feet.

Five, eight, nine.

Left ten degrees rudder.
All ahead, one third.

Left ten degrees rudder.
All ahead, one third.

All answer, I had one third.
Rudder is left ten.
Very well.

That line of channel buoys
is dead ahead, sir.

Rudder amidships.
Steady as she goes.

Rudder amidships.
Steady and cars 250.

Sir, time to turn.
We cleared the first leg.

Make your course 270.

Right down the slot.
270.

Steady. 270.
Very well.

According to my plot,
we're almost
out of the minefield.

We're through it.
Bring it up 60 feet.

Six-oh, aye.

If I knew a prayer...

Never mind, boy,
I'll say an extra one
for you.

Out scope.

Go to work now.

Got 'em all.

Down scope. Nine-oh feet.

Nine-of feet, aye.

Right full rudder.
All ahead full!

Right full rudder.
All ahead full!

It didn't go off.

It must be
a controlled mine.

I think we've cleared
the mine field.

We're out of the channel.

Rudder to midships.

All stop!

Rudder to midships.

Engines all stop, sir.

Very well.

Ease her down and
set her on the bottom.

Set her on the bottom.
Aye, aye, Captain.

Rig for depth charge.
Torpedo Room, stand by.

We may have to
use 'em yet.

Torpedo Room.

Having trouble
with that leak again.

Captain, Torpedo Room
is having trouble with
that leak again, sir.

Report damage.

All departments report damage.

Main power's
still out, sir.

Forward Torpedo Room
flooding.

Rudder's jammed.

Leak in
the Aft Torpedo Room,
but under control, sir.

One more pattern
will bust her hull.

They've stopped.

They're right on top of us.
Just sitting there.

Waiting for us to
make a break and run.

So, we wait.

Twelve hours, sir.

The air's gonna start
to get foul.

Sir, that Aft Torpedo Room
is having trouble

with that leak again.

Very well.

What are they doing
up there?

All right. All right.
Don't lose your bubble, kid.

Attention!
There are two depth charges
fastened to your hull!

You have five minutes
to surrender!

But the Submarine Commander
shall remain onboard
for inspection.

Knock it off!

Schechter,
tap out an answer.

Tell 'em
we got their message
and stand by for reply.

Len...
Aye-aye, sir.

Go down and get
the burn basket take it
to the Ward Room.

Burn all that
stuff too, Len.

You can't burn this.

This film will just
poison the air.
It's foul enough already.

All right, we'll just have to
take a chance and blow it
through the after tubes.

Put it in here.
Use that camera to
weight it down.

This is
the Captain speaking.

Have Bates and Connors
report to the Ward Room
right away.

Remember, Len,
don't do anything till I
give you the signal.

Jeff...

You mean, you're going
to surrender?

We're going to surrender,
not the ship.

Bates, can you build up
enough impulse pressure
to fire those after tubes?

Yes, sir. But the tubes
are in bad shape after that
last ash can.

I can't put
a fish through it.

All right. Pull one out,
build up enough
impulse pressure

to fire a water slug.

Aye, sir.

Connors.

Rig up
a demolition charge

with the wire leading
to a manual detonator
on the bridge.

Aye aye, sir.

Jeff...

We've only got their word
that depth charges
are fastened to the hull.

I know.

We haven't got anything
left to fight with.

Hurry up, we haven't
got much time.

Schechter,
tap out a message.

Tell 'em we're
ready to surface
and surrender.

Aye-aye, sir.

Stand by to surface.

Stand by to surface,
aye, sir.

Depth 142 feet.
Very well.

Demolition charges
all rigged, sir.
Okay, chief.

Aft Torpedo Room.
Tell Lieutenant Ross
to stand by.

Standing by, sir.

I hope we've got enough
pressure to clear
the tube, sir.

So do I.

The air man a full rig?
The air man
a full rig, sir.

Very well.

Commence blowing
main ballast.

Fire!
Fire!

If you'll ever see that
bag again, sir.

All hands, this is
the Captain speaking.

Our batteries are flat,

the main motors
are flooded,

we are unable
to fire our torpedoes.

Therefore,
the crew of this ship,
we're going to surrender.

Now keep calm.

You've been a good crew.

We've surfaced, sir.

May I introduce myself?
I am Commander Nagano,
Imperial Japanese Navy.

Lieutenant-Commander
Jefferson Conway,
United States Navy.

We followed your orders,
Commander.

Very sensible.

I asked you to remain
here as an insurance
against accidents.

There won't be
any accidents.
Good.

Then we'll begin
our inspection.

You've got about 30 seconds
to get off this boat,
Commander.

So long, old girl.

I'm Commander Mori of
the Japanese Intelligence
Department.

I'm happy to tell you that
your Skipper is okay.

In fact, he should
be here in a moment.

Skipper! How are ya?
Skipper!

I'm glad to
see you, sir.

Hi, you're all right?
I'm fine. How are you?

Good. Oh, we're good.

Now!

All your names,
ranks and serial numbers
are on this list.

The rest of the crew
is below decks
and well cared for.

It's going to be
a long war, gentlemen.

You should be glad
you're out of it.

This is sake, rice wine.

To your continued
good health, gentlemen.

Ah!

Well, we have a lot
to talk over.

We've got nothing to
talk over, Commander.

You've got
all the information
you're entitled to

under the terms of
the Geneva Convention.
You know that.

We are not concerned
with that foolishness,
Commander.

And we have a little more
information than you think.

Our divers have been busy,
as you can see.

And you have the thanks of
the Japanese Navy,

for shooting our
ships with the cameras
instead of torpedoes.

All we'd like
to know is, why?

That's just a hobby.

We're gonna enter 'em
in the "best photo of
the year" contest.

I'm sorry,
but we have to find out
all about your mission.

I don't have to tell you
there are many methods
of doing this,

and we know them all.

Like I said,
it's going to be
a long war.

Help yourself,
it's on the house.

I don't get it, Skipper.
Why all the hospitality?

Len, tell us about
your Uncle Petrie.

My uncle?
Yeah, your Uncle Petrie.

Oh, well...

Uncle Petrie had
one bad habit, liquor.

- An uncle of yours, sir?
- Hard to believe.

You know how some people
save string?

Well, Uncle Petrie
saved corks!

Amazing, sir!

Yeah. I mean...

He drank so much that
at the end of 26 years,
he had enough corks

saved up to build
a fishing boat.

A boat made out of corks!
Genius, Lieutenant,
sheer genius!

Yeah.
Well, that's nothing.

Wait till I tell ya
how he used to catch fish.

How did he do that?

Well, the ocean was
so soaked up with all that
liquor from those corks,

that the fish didn't wait
to be caught,

they just jumped in that
boat, dead drunk!

And that, my friends,
is how Uncle Petrie
invented pickled herring.

Good morning.
Everyone in good shape?

Commander, when am I
gonna get to see my men?

Oh, they're on their way
to a regular prison camp,
Commander.

But we have something
special for you five.

Your new home.

Welcome to the Interrogation
Camp Number Seven.

The torpedo boat
will be picking us up.

The Island's
about three miles wide and
five long, if you're curious.

And if you're wondering,

it would even be
possible to escape,

for anybody who can
swim two hundred miles.

Follow me.

Well, welcome to
the Question and Answer Camp.

I'm Jammy Harris,
late of the Australian
Air Force.

Jeff Conway,
United States Navy.

This is
Lieutenant Peg Whitcomb,
Australian Nursing Corps.

She's our medical staff.

Lieutenant,
nice meeting you.

How's the
war coming, Yank?

Oh, no better.
No worse.

Ah, it'll get worse,
though.

They've pulled over
half their troops
out of here.

That's very true.
They are shorthanded.

Yeah. There's a big
build-up going on.

We heard that
before we left Australia.

Listen, you don't think
they're going to...

Oh, wait a minute!

Who's the girl?

An interpreter,
among other things.

She's a great and good
friend of the Japanese.

And the officer?

Captain Yamazaki,
head of the camp guard.

Is he as tough
as he looks?

He doesn't have to be.

There's no escape
from this place.

I'm speaking for
Captain Yamazaki.

Prisoners will obey
all orders instantly.

Any disobedience
or infraction will be
severely punished.

You are prisoners of war,
and will be shot
if you attempt to escape.

Well, he's a man
of few words.

Who's the Camp Commander?

We haven't had one
for several weeks.

We used to have
a Colonel named Takahishi.

Yeah. And you Yanks
had better pray
he doesn't come back.

I've got a bit of
a sample of his work.

Which one of you
is Commander Conway?

I am.

My name is Karen Philips.

I'm the interpreter
for the Captain
of the guard.

I'll bet
you got the best job
on this whole island.

Oh. Len Ross, Lieutenant,
U.S. Navy, ma'am.
Your enemy. Unfortunately.

All right.

What do you want?

You're to report
to Commander Mori.

Please follow me.

What's a nice girl like you
doing in a place like this?

This Island, Commander Conway,
has been in my family
for almost 200 years.

Before the war
it was a plantation.

How nice of 'em
to lend it to the Japanese.

While they're here,
I intend to cooperate
with them.

But I'm neutral.

In my book, anybody who
cooperates with my enemies
isn't neutral.

But you're neutralized
yourself now, Commander.

You're out of the war,
and you should be glad.

That's where
you're wrong, lady.

I'm not out of it
till I'm dead or it's over,
whichever one comes first.

Be sensible, Mr. Conway.

The Japanese
are not unpleasant if
you cooperate with them.

You cooperate with them
all you want.

Just don't waste your breath
trying to convert me.

Don't you understand
that nothing can stop them?

How many more
ships and men
do you have to lose

to convince you
that you're beaten?

I understand one thing
and one thing...

Please,
Commander Mori's in there.

Come in.

What do you think of
our tropical resort?

Delightful.
I'll take Miami Beach.

I'm glad to see you
still have your irrepressible
American sense of humor.

Get to the point,
Commander.
You're wasting time.

I hope not.
I sincerely hope not.

Cigarette?

No thanks,
I'll smoke this.

I don't blame you.

There is really no smoke
like an American cigarette,
is there?

We have a storage of
fine Virginia tobacco
at the moment.

I hope it doesn't last
too long.

Conway,
I don't like this war
any more than you do.

Probably less,
as a matter of fact.

I spent a good many years
in your country and I have a
great respect for your people.

Nobody will be happier than I
when these hostilities
are over.

You must believe that.

All right.
I believe it.

I wonder how long
that will be?

As long as it takes us
to win it.

Are all your countrymen
that confident?

Of course.

Why is that?

You say
you lived in America.
You should know why.

There's only one way
this war can end, Commander.

I also know Japan
quite well, Mr. Conway.

We, too, are most ambitious
and industrious people.

There are important
differences, however.

For instance,
you Americans have
a lot of physical courage,

but up here
you're vulnerable.

So much so that it amazes me
how you won
all the other wars.

Maybe we're lucky, Commander.

Always with the jokes, eh?

This war
you are not going to win

for many reasons.

One of them is
the one ability I spoke of.

You make mistakes.

For example,

why didn't you
blow up your sub
with all your men?

We Japanese would have
done that.

I figure we can do you more
harm alive than dead,
Commander.

You think so?

I'm going to prove
you wrong.

You have
the information we need,

and I'm going to
get it from you.

By the way,
please don't be alarmed

at the sight of
any punishment devices
around the camp.

My predecessor here,
Colonel Takahishi employed
these medieval methods.

Personally,
I don't believe in them.

There are other means.

Is that all, Commander?

Yes. We'll talk again.

And think carefully
about what I have said.

I'm thinking all the time,
Commander.

Mr. Conway, I must have
that information.

It's entirely up to you
whether I get it now,
or later.

A rather old-fashioned method
of irrigation, I'll admit,

but my countrymen
have used it for several
thousand years

and it still works fine.

You are in charge
of the work detail,
Commander.

In charge,
you understand?

You merely supervise,
you do not work.

I prefer not to take any
chances with your health.

You are important to us.

Commander, my men
change shifts every hour.

I suggest your men
do the same.

Uh, by the way,

fresh water is scarce
on this island,

so I'll have to insist
that you don't drink any,

except what is furnished
at the mealtimes.

Mr. Bates, Mr. Ross,
you take the first shift.

Come on, let's go.

You see?
We are not unreasonable.

We wouldn't ask you to do
anything we don't do
ourselves.

Besides, the exercise
will give your men
a healthy appetite.

For what? Chop Suey?
I never liked it.

Oh, that's Chinese,
isn't it?
So sorry, old man.

Hour's up, Skipper.

I'll take it, Len.
I said, I'll take it.
No...

Why, you...

I'm all right, Jeff!

Lord! I joined the Navy
because I hated marching!

You Tennessee pea-picker,
you didn't wear shoes until
you went into Annapolis!

I guess he got a cold
out there, huh?

He's got no cold.
He's got pneumonia.

Is there anything
we can do?

There's something
you can do.

What?

Tell them whatever it is
they want to know.

That is, if you care at all
about the lives of your men.

The Japanese must not know
our rendezvous point.

If you'll have to scuttle
yourself and sacrifice
every man on board

to prevent it,
you'll do it.

You'll do it.
You'll do it.

You been smoking long?

Yeah.

Kind of rough on you
out there today, huh?

If that's the most they
can give out, I can take it.

Can you take it
for three days?

Why three days?

Because that's the day
of rendezvous.

What will happen
if we're not there?

They'll leave.

After that I will tell them
anything they want to know.

Might even tell 'em
the location

of your Uncle Petrie's
sour-mash still.

Fellow white-collar
workers,

we are about to
receive a visit

from that champion
of the down-trodden,
your friend and mine,

the smiler...

With interpreter.

You all right, Len?
Yeah.

Wait there, Bates.

Tell the Captain
Lieutenant Ross is too sick
to work.

The Captain said he's just
following orders.

And reminds the prisoners
that they must also
follow orders,

or be punished.

But the man can't walk.

He wants to know if you're
ready to answer
Commander Mori's questions.

Tell him to go to hell.

Hey, Commander?
Commander!

What can I do
for you, Conway?

Commander,
one of my men is sick.

I know.
Mr. Ross, isn't it?
Sorry.

How are you feeling,
though?

What difference does it make
how I'm feeling?

I say,
how are you feeling?

What do you care how
I'm feeling? I'm telling
you about one of my men.

I'm concerned about
your health.

That is why
you're not allowed
to walk the wheel.

I want you in good shape
when it comes time to vote.

To vote.
What are you
talking about?

You know all about
democracy in America.

You vote on things,
majority rules.

Another few days on
the water wheel and your men
will be ready to vote

on whether you talk,
or keep quiet.

If you talk,
no more water wheel,

if you don't,
Ross might get sicker.

He might even die.

So might the others.

What is it?

Is it the information
you think I've got?
Is that it?

Well, put me on the wheel,
but take Ross off.

Mr. Conway,
you don't seem
to understand.

Putting you on the wheel
would be defeating
our own purpose.

What does that mean?

If anything happens to you,
we never get
the information.

Is he any better?
No. He's worse.

If you care at all about Len
and the rest of your men,

tell them whatever it is
they want to know.

All right. Take it easy.
That water wheel's tough
enough,

but nobody's going to die
from it.

I suppose Mori's given you
a guarantee that none of
your men will be harmed?

It could be worse.

He's kept his word
so far.

Yes, and Mori hasn't
produced any results,
either.

If his methods
continue to fail,

you can rely
on Japanese Intelligence
to replace him.

This is all rather academic,
isn't it?

Sooner or later,
you and your men will begin
to really suffer.

Is the information you have
worth all their lives?

That's my decision to make,
Lady Nightingale,

meanwhile, you just keep
your mouth out of it!

I've seen enough death!

Peg, please.
Peg, please.
You're a swine.

I'm sorry.

I notice your men don't
have to work very much.

They treat them
pretty good.
Why is that?

Did you give 'em
all the information
they wanted to know?

I didn't have the information
they thought I had.

I finally convinced
Colonel Takahishi of that

after three of my men
had been put to death.

As for not working us
too hard,
I don't know about that.

They were getting ready
to transfer us,
when you blokes showed up.

Something changed
their minds.
I've no idea what.

Maybe it's some more of
his advanced psychology.

Maybe he figures
that your group can
soften us up.

You seemed to be doing
a pretty good job of it.

Well, it could be, Conway.
What do you propose to do
about it?

Get out.
That's what.

What, escape?
Right!

From a Jap-held island,
five miles by three,

in the middle of
a Japanese ocean?

It's impossible.

It's still called
the Pacific Ocean.
They don't own it yet.

If we could get
that torpedo boat
we came in the cove with,

there aren't more than
a dozen guards here.

Yes, and they've
all got guns.

All right, gentlemen,
tea on the after-patio.

Oh, I'm so fed up
with all those
eggs and bacon.

It's the silver plates
I can't stand.

Well, if you gentlemen
would like,

I'll take you out
for breakfast.

Give my compliments to
the Chef, would you?

Left-over old socks
this time.

Boy, I love you.

Very funny! You wouldn't
be laughing so loud without
all those guns around you.

I'll guarantee you that!

Bates!

Would you like me to
translate the Sergeant's
last remarks for you?

That won't be necessary,
Commander.

We've all got a good idea
what he meant.

I doubt that.
It was a challenge,
Mr. Bates.

In effect, he said
if you weren't a prisoner,

he would take you apart.

Yeah? Well you tell
that son of a...
Knock it off, Bates!

Shall I tell him
his challenge
is not accepted?

Skipper, I can handle
that big, fat slob.

Let me take
a crack at him,
will you?

Frankly, I wouldn't
advise you to try.

The Sergeant's very good
at the art of wrestling,

as are all
Japanese soldiers.

Skipper, I know something
about that Japanese-style
wrestling.

I've been in the Navy
for 15 years and spent most
of my time in the Far East.

I've flattened my share of
these characters.

Bates can take him, Skipper.
I've seen him in action.

Well, Commander?

Go ahead, Bates.

Give em' room, fellas.

Get that rice picker, Bates.

Jump on him, boy.

Get up, Bates.
Get up, Bates.
Watch him. Come on, Bates.

Get up, boy, come on!
Get up!

Get him. Get him!

Get him!

Come on!
Get up on your feet!
Watch out, Bates!

Get him! Get on your feet!
Hold him, Bates, get him!

Come on! Break it up.
That's it!

Stop it! Stop it!

Now, simmer down!

All right.

Sit down, Commander.
I'll stand.

I don't suppose
an apology from me
would mean anything?

Not a damn thing.

It was my intention to
demonstrate the superiority
of the Japanese soldier.

The psychological
approach, again.

And it backfired.

You mean, that fight was
your idea?

Yes. Oshikawa was acting
under my orders when he
challenged your man.

And when he picked up
a rifle and killed him,
whose orders were those?

You know better than
to ask that, Commander.

I am truly sorry.

I never would
have suggested the contest
if I had had any idea that...

It's quite obvious now
that my psychological methods
are not going to work now.

None of your methods
are going to work.
Not now or ever.

Possibly not.

In any case,
I have been given
another assignment.

I am being relieved
by my predecessor,
Colonel Takahishi.

As you know, his ways of
obtaining information are
different from mine.

I heard.

I'm speaking now as
one human being to another,
not as one enemy to another.

You may all be killed
at Colonel Takahishi's
orders

if you continue
your silence.

More psychology, Commander?

No, the facts.

Again.
I'm very sorry about
this morning.

I'm sorrier about
what I know is going to
happen to you.

I believe in
this war, Conway.

And I believe in striking
the enemy and killing him
if he resists.

But I don't believe
in murder.

They're sending a boat for me,
and I'm leaving this evening.

Goodbye, Commander.

Mr. Conway.

Yeah?

I thought you might like
to have this Bible.

Thanks.

I'll give it back
in the morning.

Please keep it.

I thought it might help
comfort you and your friends.

Aid and comfort to
the enemy, Miss Philips?

I'm not your enemy.

Whose are you?

I told you, I'm neutral.

Still, huh?

No. Not anymore.

Will you help us?

We need weapons.

I can't possibly
do that.

That's what I figured.

You can't escape.
You'll only get killed
trying.

I couldn't bring any guns,
maybe some knife blades.

Get 'em.

There's your
lady friend.

So early in
the morning, too.

Huh?

Miss Japanese
Interrogation Camp of 1942.

Yeah.

I wonder what she's
doing around here.

Oh, come on, Jeff.

You don't really think
she's going to help us,
do you?

Huh?

Come on, Peg,
let's take a walk.

Now, what did you forget?
Be casual, Peg. Casual.

Miss Whitcomb,
come over here.
Get angry at me.

And when you hit me,
grab my hat.
Come on, hurry up.

Go ahead, Peg.

Miserable wench!
You no-good,
treacherous female!

Grab my hat!
Hurry up!

Go inside and rip it apart.
Go on, rip it apart. Go on!

Where'd you get that?

Hey!

Oh, they're like razors.
Knife blades.

Without a handle, Len.

It's a cinch.

It's hardwood.

Peg?
Yeah.

Have you got any thread?

Uh, well, only a little.

Well, will you unravel
a blanket or some clothes?

Sure.
I'm gonna bind the
handles with thread.

I don't know if I ever told
you, but my Uncle Petrie's
part Seminole Indian.

And boy, did he ever
teach me...

Jeff! Jeff!

Yeah.

Like I said, look...

This is hardwood.
Yeah.

I could make
a bow out of that.

A bow?
Sure.

And bowstrings you can
make out of twill thread.

You know, out of uniforms,
anything.

Oh, and arrows are simple
to carve out of anything.

Arrowheads are easy.
I used to make 'em out of
tin cans.

We can make 'em out of these.
I used to be a pretty
fair archer.

You know, if we can
knock over just one guard
and get his gun,

we might have a chance.

Hmm. About one in 50.

With those floodlights
on every second,
it's not going to be easy.

Yeah.

Hide the stuff!
Here comes the brass!

The Captain orders you to
line up in front of your bunks
while he speaks.

He says your leg was not
stiff yesterday.

Oh, well...

Tell him that I have
a very rare American disease.
It's extremely contagious.

Commander Mori will be
replaced tomorrow
by Colonel Takahishi.

Tomorrow?

That means we've got to
break out of here tonight.

Is there a shortcut
to the boat? A stream?

He says Colonel Takahishi
will kill you
if you do not answer directly

every question he asks.

Do you know where
the generator is?

Wreck it at four o'clock.
We'll meet you at the boat.

Oh, uh, tell him
we appreciate his advice,

and we'll give it
careful consideration.

He wants you to stand at
attention when he leaves.

Attention!

I hope this thing works!

You hit 'em with that,
they're going to make a noise
like a bag of squashed cats.

Taki?

Taki? Taki?

Come on. Come on!
Let's get out of here!

Jamie!

Jamie!

Sorry, Peg,
I don't think I can
make it.

You'll have to go on
without me.

What happened to Len?

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid he bolted.

But we got some
of the others, though.

Come on, Peg.

Is he dead?

Yeah.

What about Len?

Him too, sir.

Can you make it
all right?

Yeah, it's all right.

Look, Jeff, we're going
to have to shoot our way
down to that boat.

Guards downstream?

Yeah. I don't know
how many, though.

Can't be more than
one or two.
We've killed everybody else.

Wait here.

What happened?

Everything's okay.

Any sign of Karen?

No.

Skipper, we're running
out of time!

It'll be light pretty soon.
You go back to the boat.

If I'm not there
in a half-an-hour,
you go without me.

Oh, look, Jeff...
I said, take off!

Halliday.
Yeah.

Think we ought to
shove off?

We'll take
five more minutes.

Prepare to shove off.

I'll take over now, sir,
if you want some rest.

Steer 235.
That's as good
a course as any.

Two-three-five, aye, sir.

Karen, Karen!
Brake! Brake!
Hey, come on. Come on.

Hey! Look at that!

Can you read them?
Something Conway,
U.S.N.

And "Fancy Free"!

Fancy Free?

I'm gonna set down
alongside of them.
Tell the crew to stand by!

Right.

Co-Pilot to crew. We're going
to set down by
that torpedo boat. Stand by.

We trailed them
on a South easterly course
at about 5,000 yards.

When we last saw them,
they were here.

We moved in to get a closer
look and that's when we ran
into their minefield.

Did you recognize
any of their ships?

Yes, there was
three carriers of
the Shoho class.

I'm certain they were part
of Admiral Hara's Fifth
Carrier Division.

That makes sense.

They're in the Coral Sea now
if they haven't
changed direction.

There's no reason why
they should.

They're headed
for Port Moresby.

If our Intelligence
is correct, they'll hit it
in exactly three days.

Unless we locate
them first.

We'll find them.

Every plane we can spare
will be put in that part of
the Coral Sea immediately.

CIC two unidentified planes,
in bound at 20 miles...

If you're thinking of the ship
you lost, that some of your
men died for nothing, don't.

Think of the lives you saved
by getting us the information
we wanted,

when we wanted it.
Think of that, Jeff.
Think of that.

On the
7th of May, 1942,

the Battle of the Coral Sea
took place.

When it was over,
the Fifth Carrier Division of
the Imperial Japanese Navy

had been stopped.

Australia was saved.

All three of the largest
enemy carriers were
destroyed or disabled.

The United States' greatest
loss in the battle
was the Carrier Lexington,

the Fighting Lady.

It was the greatest naval
engagement in history,

and the victory laid the
groundwork for the even
greater sea victory

at Midway, where the back of
the Imperial Japanese Navy
was broken.
