:26:03
The fake Japanese messages.
- These could be carbon copies.
:26:07
Washington's sure Yamamoto's
feeding you this to hide his plans.
:26:12
Very definitely possible.
:26:15
Well, then how can you insist...
- Because I believe it's factual.
:26:19
I'm convinced
Yamamoto's target is Midway.
:26:22
But if you're wrong, Admiral,
:26:25
if you send our carriers
into a Japanese ambush,
:26:28
the entire West Coast and Hawaii
will be open for invasion.
:26:31
Fully aware of that, Captain.
:26:33
You mean, the safe play
is to defend the home folks first?.
:26:38
With respects, Admiral,
it's the smart play.
:26:48
Captain, if we surprise the enemy,
:26:50
catch him where he's not expecting us,
:26:53
we can drive him back 3,000 miles.
:26:56
And keep him pinned till we can
take him on in his own front yard.
:27:01
My instructions were
to convey Washington's deep concern
:27:04
over the safety
of the West Coast and Hawaii.
:27:08
Is Washington ordering me
to defend Hawaii or the West Coast?.
:27:13
No, Sir.
:27:15
My orders were simply to consult.
:27:17
No, Sir,
I have no such orders for you.
:27:22
Commander Blake, send the fleet to
repel invasion. Target: Midway lsland.
:27:27
Issue the order immediately.
- Aye-aye, Sir.
:27:30
Admiral, may I see you a moment?.
- Excuse me, Captain.
:27:43
Damn. You know how
Bill Halsey hates hospitals.
:27:47
Maybe it's nothing serious.
- To get him anywhere near a hospital
:27:52
it must be not only damn serious,
it must be critical.
:27:56
Admiral, I have some really bad news.
- Today's the day for it.
