:56:00
Plenty of fuel, good repair facilities...
:56:03
complete protection.
:56:05
But not Lutjens...
:56:07
or any other German fleet commander.
:56:09
Why not?
:56:10
Because in Nazi Germany, he'd lose face.
:56:13
I've fought these people before.
:56:15
They have to prove
their superiority every day.
:56:18
That's their one tremendous weakness.
:56:20
Sir.
:56:21
Yes?
:56:22
Signal from the Commander-in-Chief.
:56:24
"King George V running short of fuel.
:56:26
Can't maintain full speed much longer."
:56:29
[Telephone Rings]
:56:33
Supposing she is heading
for a French port.
:56:36
Won't be long...
:56:38
before she gets
friendly submarine support...
:56:40
and complete air cover.
:56:42
Too late to stop her then.
:56:43
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau at Brest.
:56:46
Supposing Bismarck joins up with them...
:56:48
and all three of them
decide to come out together.
:56:52
What then?
:56:54
[Door Opens]
:56:55
What's the trouble?
:56:57
He just collapsed, sir.
:56:58
Take him in the office.
:57:00
Why is this man on duty if he's sick?
:57:03
I don't know, sir.
He didn't report sick.
:57:06
Get someone over here.
:57:07
Aye aye, sir. Simms, take over.
:57:11
All right. Leave him here.
:57:13
Aye aye, sir.
:57:15
Sorry, sir.
:57:16
Why the devil
didn't you report sick?
:57:18
I'm sorry, sir.
:57:20
I didn't want to miss anything.
:57:23
All right, Brown.
:57:25
We'll get you along to the sick bay.
:57:27
If anything happens, I'll let you know.
:57:30
Thank you, sir.
:57:32
What time is it, Miss Davis?
:57:34
About 6:30, sir.
:57:35
Morning or evening?
:57:37
It's a very fine morning.
:57:39
I think you should take a short walk.
:57:42
You haven't been outside
for five days.
:57:45
Take down this message
for Commander-in-Chief,
Home Fleet...
:57:48
Our interpretation
of best available information...
:57:51
indicates Bismarck
heading for the coast of France.
:57:53
Proceed accordingly.
:57:55
Sir, must you stick your neck out
quite so far?
:57:58
I'm afraid that goes with the job.
