Captain Jack Turner?

Yes sir.

It's an honor to meet you, son.

Sorry this couldn't wait until you healed up,

but we follow procedure very carefully

on this type of thing.

Please, sit.

Well I... I understand.

Good.

Jack,

we need to debrief you

on the events that recently occurred.

Everything that happened.

No detail is too small.

I want you to know that

President Roosevelt personally commends you

and all of Lt. Colonel Jimmy Doolittle's Raiders.

As you know, after Pearl Harbor, bombing Tokyo

became of paramount importance to the President.

You guys really pulled it off.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Thank you.

How many... how many of us made it back?

Before we get into that, Captain Turner,

it's important that we hear your side of the story,

exactly as it happened.

Particularly, your experience on the ground in China.

Who helped you and how did you get out of there.

What about the girl?

The girl will be fine.

Ok.

Well. We started off

with an unexpected launch off the Hornet.

Sixteen B-25's all crammed onto a flattop,

seven hundred miles off the coast of Japan...

Is this a drill, Sir?

Ain't no drill, Jack.

We've been compromised by a Jap patrol boat.

It's now or never.

We're four hours from the take-off zone!

We don't have the gas!

If we get a tail wind from Japan,

we'll make it to China.

Now get on board, son,

and Godspeed.

JACK: Alright. Copy that.

Brace yourselves, boys, this is it.

MONROE: What the hell's he waiting for?!

Swell's gotta rise. Slingshot us out.

- We're too heavy! - We're good!

Ok, well, dump 'em... and any ammo you got left.

You, too, Ben. Come on, go, go, go!

How are you, sir? I'll be damned!

I'm good, good.

I believe they didn't have to chop off your leg.

Yeah, they patched it up pretty good.

I'm glad to hear that, cause I got plans for you, son.

And what's your name, pretty one?

Say hi.

Sit, Jack. We got to do some talking.

Alright.

Lt. Sheng here has briefed me on all you went through.

You were lucky to get out alive, son.

I know, I know.

We lost a lot of good men there...

But their sacrifice was worth it.

She also told me you want to adopt this little girl.

Yeah, Nunu.

You can't do it, Jack.

You see, you're going back into action soon.

I'm starting a new unit... sub hunting...

and I'm going to need you there.

With all due respect, sir,

she's lost everything she has.

Jack, there's a war going on...

you can't be doing two things at the same time.

The social welfare people have found

a nice Chinese couple willing to adopt her.

They live out east... in Los Angeles.

I checked up on them.

They're good people.

They'll bring her up better than her mother could've wished for.

I can't just... leave her.

Funny how life passes.

It spins around, and before you can take it all into account,

you've lived a lifetime.

Fifty years have gone by since we first met

and not a day of that goes by

that I don't think about your mother.

I guess you know I fell in love with her

and often wonder what my life could've been

with her and with you.

My own life will soon becoming to a finish

She died a hero of the Chinese People.

With Love and Respect, Jack.
