:12:04
Why is it we never get
our bad medicine in small doses?
:12:08
Perfect timing for an enemy breakout...
:12:09
in the North Atlantic.
:12:10
Cunningham and his fleet
busy down here in Crete.
:12:13
Sommerville's got his hands full...
:12:15
trying to reinforce Malta
with Force H.
:12:17
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
are up here at Brest.
:12:20
We must keep them covered.
:12:22
And 16 convoys to guard...
:12:24
scattered all over the Atlantic.
:12:27
If we had a hundred more ships...
:12:29
we still wouldn't have enough.
:12:31
Sir, we've just had a signal...
:12:33
from our agent in Norway.
:12:34
The message is incomplete.
:12:36
"Sighted two enemy ships
of Kristiansand at 033 5
sailing due west...
:12:40
Cruiser Prinz Eugen and..."
:12:42
The transmission stopped
abruptly at that point, sir.
:12:44
Did you try to get him back?
:12:46
Yes, sir. No further contact.
:12:51
Where is Kristiansand?
:12:53
Off here, sir.
:12:54
Southern tip of Norway.
:12:55
What do you think, A.C.N.S.?
:12:57
I don't think this man...
:12:59
would have transmitted
in the circumstances...
:13:01
if it hadn't been something
really important.
:13:05
Then we'll proceed on the assumption...
:13:07
that it's Bismarck.
:13:08
May I suggest we put
Coastal Command to work...
:13:11
on air reconnaissance?
:13:12
Yes. Everything from Bergen southwards.
:13:14
Tell them to photograph
everything that looks suspicious.
:13:16
I'll talk to Commander-in-Chief
at Scapa Flow.
:13:19
Aye aye, sir.
:13:20
[Ship Horn Sounding]
:13:22
[Ship Horn Sounding]
:13:24
Excuse me, sir.
:13:26
First sea lord on the line, sir.
:13:33
Commander-in-Chief, sir.
:13:35
Hello,Jack. How are you?
:13:36
I'm fine.
:13:38
Those two German ships...
:13:39
were sighted off southern Norway
at 033 5.
:13:41
One is the Prinz Eugen...
:13:43
and we're not sure about the other.
:13:45
Do you think it's...
:13:47
I suggest you proceed
on the worst possible assumption...
:13:50
that it's Bismarck
and she's breaking out.
:13:52
I can't think of anything worse.
:13:55
We can't let that ship
get loose in the Atlantic.
:13:58
I'll come to immediate notice
for steam, sir.
