through the Japanese
blockade.

:07:03
Have any of our ships
made it?

:07:05
One ship has reached Mindanao,
two more made it to Cebu.

:07:08
The rest were either sunk
or captured. Thank you.

:07:10
So far we've lost better
than 80,000 tons.

:07:12
In other words, MacArthur has
received practically nothing.

:07:14
That's about it,
Mr. President.

:07:16
How long can they hold out?
Matter of weeks.

:07:18
We're still dispatching submarines
to Bataan and Corregidor.

:07:21
We managed to land
some munitions and drugs,

:07:24
and evacuate a few of the
wounded, but that's all we can do.

:07:26
Unless you wanna start stripping the defenses
of the West Coast, the Panama Canal...

:07:30
One bombing of the canal and
it's out of action for two years.

:07:32
It's a more vulnerable target, more
important target than Pearl Harbor.

:07:35
And Hitler will have the whole North
American continent for a target...

:07:38
if we don't stop him in Europe.
Exactly.

:07:40
But you know
what's going to happen.

:07:42
Like everything else, Douglas is
going to take our strategy personally.

:07:46
He thinks the blockade
is a figment of my imagination,

:07:48
and that I'm somehow
deliberately robbing him of glory.

:07:55
I wish you people would send
Douglas a globe of the world...

:08:00
to remind him we have
obligations all around it.

:08:02
We have to support Stalin...
:08:04
while he fights the bulk
of the Nazi army.

:08:07
We have to assist Churchill
to keep England functioning.

:08:11
We have to protect our flanks,
the Panama Canal...

:08:14
and General Douglas
MacArthur.

:08:20
I need him.
The country needs him.

:08:22
We can't leave him
to the Japanese.

:08:24
He won't leave the Philippines unless
you order him off, Mr. President.

:08:34
Cut an order.
Put my name to it.

:08:36
L- O-5-O-6-7-3-D. L-9-2-6...
:08:40
So long, baby.
:08:42
That's 140 million bucks
the Japs won't get.

:08:45
L- 4-9-4...
:08:47
I'm army to the marrow
of my bones, Dick.

:08:50
I've never disobeyed
an order in my life.

:08:53
Now, for the first time,
I feel bound to disobey.

:08:56
Sir, you couldn't.
You'd be court-martialed.

:08:59
Then I'll resign my commission
and fight on here as a private.
