"The Japanese ambassador just arrived." "He should be up shortly." "Thank you." "The Japanese are stalling, Henry." "You know that." "When Nomura took over as ambassador I had some hopes of settling our differences." "But our meetings so far have been unproductive." "He brings me proposals, I offer compromises." "He brings me counterproposals, and so on." "I tell you, Henry, Nomura was sent here to buy time." "That's what he's doing, at our expense." "The president thinks he's a man we can trust and deal with." "Mr. Ambassador, we meet again." "It is always a pleasure." "I assume you know Mr. Stimson, the head of our War Department." "Oh, yes, of course." "Mr. Ambassador." "I do hope, Mr. Stimson your presence here doesn't indicate anything ominous." "Of course not, Mr. Nomura." "Mr. Nomura, won't you please sit down?" "Thank you." "Well, since our last talk a week ago I have received a certain shall we say question from my government to put to you to clarify certain matters." "There it is." "This machine lets us intercept every word between Tokyo and all Japanese embassies." "The coded material is fed into that machine." "It goes round and round in there and comes out here, decoded in Japanese." "All we have to do is translate it." "We decode this quicker than the Japanese embassy right here in Washington." "No wonder you decided to call it "Operation Magic. "" " The latest intercept, sir." " Thank you." "Things are getting a little hotter in the Pacific." "As long as we're sharing this assignment take a look at this." "Behold the 12 apostles." "The chosen few are authorized to see the magic intercepts." "Hap Arnold, Chief of the Air Corps, isn't on the list." "No, and not one of our overseas commanders." "Stand by." "Execute." "Look at that entrance to the harbor." "Sink one good-sized ship in the channel and you've bottled up our whole fleet." "You know as well as I do, this harbor is a mousetrap." "Fleet should have stayed in San Diego where it belongs." "I made the mistake to point that out to Roosevelt." "We're expected to obey orders." "We're also expected to exercise our own good judgment." "I didn't ask for the job." "Sorry, Kim, but this was my command, and it's become habit to worry about the security of the fleet." "The British, flying some old biplanes torpedoed and sank three Italian battleships at Taranto." "Harbor very much like this one." "I share your concern, but CNO doesn't think it can happen here." "Why not?" "A torpedo dropped from a plane plunges to a depth of 75 feet or more before it levels off." "I know, and Pearl is only 40 feet deep." "I'm still worried, Kim." "Ten-hut!" "Do the planes have to be parked like that?" "Way at the edge of the field." "Standard dispersal procedure, general." "In case of enemy air attack." "There are 130,000 Japanese on this island." "Our main problem is sabotage." "It'd be too easy for enemies to sneak in at night and blow up every one of them if they're left out there." "Make a note, Fielder, we'll have to make changes." "Ten-hut." "Admiral Halsey's here to see you." "Send him in, please." "Blast me, break me, court marshal me, draw and quarter me if you think they're gonna send my ships on convoy duty in the Atlantic." "Kim, I think they've gone nuts in Washington." "How will I fight a task force if they send my ships to the Atlantic?" "That damn ocean is a swimming hole compared to the Pacific." "What are we, a fighting fleet or these toy boats here so the Japs can buy them at Christmas?" "All right, Bill, now ease it off." "It's not just you." "They asked for some of our tankers too." "How do they expect to feed these wagons parked out here on this land-locked duck pond?" "You're still planning on rotating half of them at sea?" "I was." "Look, Kim, you've got to make them understand what's going on out here." "I'm gonna do everything I can, Bill." "Even go to the president." "By God, I knew there was at least one man in this man's Navy who hadn't gone nuts." "And we go on to say, "It should be noted that Japan has never preceded hostile action by a declaration of war." "We believe it possible that a fast-rated Japanese carrier force may arrive in Hawaii with no prior warning from our intelligence service." "The most favorable time to the enemy would be dawn." "He probably would employ a maximum of six carriers strike on a weekend." " We recommend that the Air Corps..."" " I read it." "Yes, sir." "I appreciate the work that you and General Martin have put in." "These reports are very useful to General Short and myself." "General Martin, you don't pull any punches do you?" ""We recommend that the Air Corps maintain a thorough 360-degree search of the Hawaiian area during daylight." "This will require a force of 180 B-17 airplanes. "" "We can't search the sea approaches unless we have the planes, sir." "One hundred and eighty B-17s?" "For God's sakes, that's more than the number existing in the States." "It looks fine on paper, but that's not a paper fleet out there." "Squadron from the Enterprise." "Bill Halsey's working the tails off his men." "Wish we had more like him." "Makes the most of what he's got." "Doesn't keep asking for the moon." "Well, not one bomb anywhere in the target for the past hour." "Your pilots can see it, I suppose." " Who's next?" " It's Anderson, sir." "Now, that's more like it." " Maybe your boys finally get it." " I hope so, sir." "Who's next?" "Lieutenant Dickenson." "Tell Lieutenant Dickenson for me he couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle." "Yes, sir." "Ten-hut." " Carry on." " Carry on." "This it?" "Yes, sir." "Our new radar." "It's a remarkable scientific achievement capable of spotting an intruder on the sea or in the air and at quite a range." "Now, listen colonel, as you know, we're short on patrol planes." "We're gonna have to rely on this thing to detect the enemy." "General, radar should do the job." "What's it doing here, not set up?" "We're about to truck it up that mountain." "That peak up there is the ideal spot to put our main radar post." "At that height, we'd be clear of all interference." "Obviously." "But, sir, we can't get permission to put her up there." "Permission?" "From the National Park Service Department of Interior." "See, all of this belongs to the Hawaiian National Park." "The Hawaiian National Park?" "Yes, sir." "The Wildlife Preservation Society is raising hell too." "And we can't get permission?" "No, sir." "Not unless we want to fight them." "Fight them?" "You're damn right we're gonna fight them." " Now you make a note of that, Fielder." " Yes, sir." "Wildlife Preservation Society." "It's no use, Hal." "I spoke to General Miles." "He took it up with General Marshall." "The order stands." "The president is off the ultra list." "Incredible." "Withholding information from the president." "Security found a copy of an intercept in a waste basket at the White House." "Truth is, the brass don't trust some men close to the president." "Does anyone trust anyone anymore?" " Do you even trust your own wife?" " Do you?" "Come to think of it, I believe I do." "Part two of No. 1390, colonel." "Tokyo to embassies in Washington and Berlin." "Thank you, Miss Cave." "The Japanese are moving south to occupy French Indo-China." " This is big trouble." " Yeah." "Well, ultra list or not someone has to tell the president about this one." ""Therefore, we will impose a full embargo on all trade with Japan." "We do not anticipate immediate hostile action by Japan but you get this information so you may take appropriate precautionary measures. "" ""Appropriate precautionary measures. "" "What the hell does that mean?" "Now, this is signed jointly by General Marshall and Admiral Stark." "Until we know how the Japanese will react, we're not gonna take chances." " We go on full alert." " Yes, sir." "Stark says they don't anticipate hostile action." "Why send a warning at all?" "Damn it." "Damn it, why can't Washington give us the full inside story?" "I'd sooner form my own opinion." ""Don't anticipate hostile action. "" "Well, all right, we'll go ahead." "Increase air and sub patrols, alert senior commanders." "Maybe out of this we can find out how well we can function." "Kaminsky." "This is Captain Earle." "Going on full alert." "Yes, captain." "We're going on full alert." "Notify all ship, sub and air patrols." "What the hell is going on here?" "What are you doing?" "Carrying out orders." "General Short's concern is sabotage." "All aircraft not ready for flight from now on will be parked in the center so they can be kept under guard." "Suppose there's an air raid." "They hit one plane, and it all goes up in flames." "I'm sorry." "General's orders." "It's not an ideal radar sight, but at least we got a permit." "Let's get the other units working." "Easier said than done." "What do you mean?" "We have to get all six units adjusted and link them by phone to headquarters." "That means training men to operate an information center so they know what to do with the information." "Take it easy, Murph." " You'll figure it out." " Yeah, I'll figure it out." "Don't just stand there." "You know how to operate this thing." "We know the theory." "Let's put that theory into practice." " Switch on." " Yes, sir." "Stay put and keep watching the screen." "In two hours, close down." "I'll send a truck to pick you up." "Excuse me, sir, but what are we watching for?" "Anything unusual." "Any large blip coming from the sea." "Colonel, if we do spot something, what do we do?" "Report it to headquarters, damn it." " How, sir?" " What?" "We haven't got a telephone, sir." "There's a gas station a mile down the road." "They must have a phone." "We got 183 combat planes on this base, general." "The way they're parked now, a one-eyed monkey hanging from a balloon could scatter them to hell with one hand grenade." "Don't blame me." "General Short gave the order." "Come in." " Sir, Lieutenants Taylor and Welch." " Okay, send them in." "You two men get in your planes and fly over to Haleiwa." "Yes, sir." "What are our orders when we get there?" "Just sit tight." "Listen for the phone." "That's all." "Yes, sir." "Haleiwa is one of the subsidiary fields." "We send those two up there, two more here." "Only way I know to disperse a few of the planes." "If I'd get away with it, I'd send all to the neighbor islands." " You know why we're being transferred." " Them poker games." "Been winning too often." "Some sucker loses his shirt, so he bitches to the general." "Nomura has offered his resignation several times." "But Tokyo won't let him quit." "Instead they're sending a second ambassador, Kurusu, to help him out." "Do you really think this Kurusu can do any good?" "Well, I doubt it, Frank." "He's hardly the most tactful choice." "When he was ambassador in Berlin he signed the Axis Pact on behalf of Japan." " You sick or something?" " No." "I've been piecing together this batch of new intercepts." "A frightening picture is taking shape." "Ambassadors Nomura and Kurusu asked their government to extend a deadline for suspending negotiation between Japan and America." " You remember that?" " Yeah." "Now, according to this latest intercept Tokyo wants to conclude negotiations with us no later than November 29 after which, and I quote "Things are automatically going to happen. "" "Look at this intelligence report from the British." "Five Japanese troop transports with naval escort were sighted off Formosa, heading south." "We've been monitoring their fleet." "Most of it seems to be on home waters." "I'm not so sure." "I'm betting they're going to attack us." "Japan is going to attack us." "The 29th is only four days off." "The 30th is on a Sunday." "We're gonna be attacked on Sunday, the 30th of November." "The pieces fit together." "But can you prove it?" "No." "But I'm convinced I'm right." "Miss Cave?" "Get me General Marshall." "General Marshall's at Fort Benning, sir." "Then get me the secretary of war." "I've got the evidence, Al." "And I'm gonna make the brass around here admit I'm right." "Bratton's analysis makes sense." "His facts are undeniable." "Henry, I'm washing my hands of the whole matter." "From now on, it's in your hands and in those of the Navy department." "I'll call the president." "A message declaring a full alert will be sent out." "General Marshall anticipated an emergency like this." "Before he left to attend maneuvers he made out this alert order." "Read this back to me." ""Japanese future action unpredictable." "But hostile action possible at any moment." "If hostilities cannot be avoided the United States desires that Japan commit the first overt act. "" "Read that again." ""If hostilities cannot be avoided, the United States desires that Japan commit the first overt act." "This shouldn't be construed as restricting you to a course of action jeopardizing your defense." "Prior to hostile Japanese action you are directed to undertake reconnaissance and other measures as you deem necessary." "These measures should be carried out so as not to alarm the civil population or disclose intent." "By order of General George C. Marshall. "" "Not to alarm the civil population." "What do you make of it?" "If you ask me, sir, it's double talk." "But the chief of staff doesn't go in for double talk." " We're going on alert." " Again?" "But the men are confused." "So many alerts." " Damn it, unconfuse them." " Yes, sir." ""Japanese forces may attack the Philippines Thailand, the Kra Peninsula and Borneo." "This dispatch is to be considered a war warning. "" "Well, there it is, gentlemen." "You now have as much information as I do." "That's the second warning in three days." ""Japanese forces may attack the Philippines Thailand, the Kra Peninsula and Borneo. "" "They don't mention us." "That's correct." "I think it should be considered significant." "Well, gentlemen we have a job to do." "Washington wants us to send a squadron of fighters to Midway." "And another squadron to Wake." "When can you sail?" "Well, the Enterprise can sail tomorrow morning." "I'll need a day or two." "We're just completing repairs on the Lexington." "Hurry things along, John." "I want you out there to probe." "I want planes up in the air morning and afternoon." "I want a report on any sign of hostile ships." "Understood." "Do you want battleships along?" "Hell, no." "They're too slow." "If we're gonna probe, let's probe." "We don't want anything holding us up." "You're right, but I'm not ready to commit them myself." "Not until I know when and where." "Do you plan to keep half the fleet at sea while the carriers are gone?" "No, it's too risky." "I'll have to keep the fleet here at Pearl while you're away." "Get out." "Get back as soon as you can." "I don't like the idea of having my battleships without air cover." " Let's get going." " Yes, sir." "Kimmel." "Level with me." "I want a clear directive." "If I run into a Jap ship, what action do I take?" "Use your common sense." "That's the best damn order I ever had." "If I see so much as a sampan there I'll blow it out of the water." "What is it this time, getting me over here?" "Tokyo has alerted their embassy to stand by for a very long message in 14 parts." "Look, Rufe, you scared me and everybody else last week." "We're not doing that again, are we?" "You should see this." "It's the latest report on those Japanese troop transports." "Remember those troop ships?" "They're still heading south with an escort only 14 hours from the coast of Malaya." "What about their aircraft carriers?" "We don't know." "Intelligence was keeping track of them until recently." "Now we've lost them." "Look, Rufe, try to put yourself in their minds." "Where do you think I have been the past week, night and day?" "I am still convinced they're going to attack us." "What can we do that we aren't doing already?" "I don't know about you, but I know what I'm gonna do." "Where is everybody?" "Oh, it's past 12, sir." "They've already gone." " Get them back." " On the weekend?" "Yes, on the weekend." "This completes 13 parts?" "Yes, Tokyo is holding the final part till morning." "I wonder why." "It's almost 9." "Harry, I'm going to make the rounds with what we have here." "Thank God the president's back on the list." "Have Brotherhood call me when the missing part is in." "Right." "You're late." " Well, I was..." " Please, take me to the White House." "If you told me we were invited to the White House, I would've dressed." "You know Mrs. Roosevelt." "She's informal personally, but a stickler for protocol..." "Darling, will you shut up and drive?" "Well?" "Captain Wilkinson's." "Did you see the president?" "No, I saw Harry Hopkins." "And did he read the, whatever it is?" "No, he doesn't have the key." "I gave the pouch to our Naval aide, Lt. Schulz." "He took it in to the president." "And the president has a key, I suppose?" "Of course he has." "And did Lieutenant Schulz say anything?" "He said, "Thank you. "" "Darling, step on it, will you?" "Admiral Stark can't be reached." "Should I take it to chief of staff?" "It's after 10, General Marshall always retires early." "I see no reason to disturb Marshall with something that's incomplete." " Wait till you have the final part." " Yes, sir." "If you're so concerned why don't we call chief of war plans, Admiral Turner?" "His telephone doesn't answer, sir." " You don't happen to know where he is?" " No idea." "The president has already discussed it with me." "He sent a personal message to the emperor." "But when the final part of this comes in, I'd like to see it then." " Good night, commander." " Good night, sir." "I was starved." "I'll bet you are." "Oh, thank you, dear." "Can't you tell me anything?" "Even a hint?" "You'd think the world was falling apart." "Admiral Stark talked to the president." "What did the president say?" "He sent a personal message to the emperor." "Gordy." "We got those B-17s coming in from California in the morning." "Honolulu radio will stay on the air all night so the planes can home in." "You and I had better be in that control tower at 7:30 sharp." "Yes, sir." " Tyler, I've got a job for you." " Sir." "Report to the new radar center at Fort Shafter at 0400." "At 4:00 in the morning?" "From 4 to 7 a.m." "Our marvel of science only operates for three hours." "Lucky boy." "Lucky boy!" "Captain, how's it feel?" "First command, first patrol." "Just fine, Mr. Young." "In fact, I think I'll turn in for a while." " Good night, sir." " Good night." "Here you are." "Kramer." "Al, listen to this." "The fourteenth part." ""Will the ambassadors please submit our reply to the United States government at precisely 1 p." "M December 7th, your time. "" "1 p.m.?" ""Precisely 1 p.m., your time. "" "I'll be right over." "Look at the president's message." "I should have had it hours ago." "As you know, communications have been delayed and frequently garbled lately." "Or deliberately interfered with." "Gene, call the foreign minister." "Tell him I want an immediate audience with the emperor." ""After deciphering part 14 destroy at once your cipher machine all codes and secret documents. "" "Translate this immediately." " Give a copy to Kramer when he comes." " Yes, sir." "I've got to get the hell out of here." "Hey, look at this." "Finally got one." "Communication center." "It even works." "That's great." "Opana Point, communications check." "Are you reading us?" "Coming in loud and clear." "Where's the general?" "It's Sunday, sir." "This is Colonel Bratton." "Connect me with Chief of Staff, General Marshall." "Yes, at his quarters, Fort Myer." "Chief of staff's quarters, Sergeant Aguirre speaking." "Yes, Colonel Bratton." "I'm sorry, sir, the general isn't here." "Where he always is this time Sunday morning." " Where's Colonel Bratton?" " Gone to see General Marshall." "He left this for you, sir." "The 14th part of this intercept Kramer just delivered indicates to me the Japanese are going to attack." "We know war is coming." "We know they have an expeditionary force heading south." "Sir, as hostilities seem imminent I recommend you telephone Admiral Kimmel in Hawaii." "No." "I better call the president first." "Now, if you'll all please excuse me?" " Yes, sir." " Thanks." ""The Japanese government regrets to have to notify the American government that, in view of the attitude of the American government it is impossible to reach an agreement through negotiations. "" " There are supplemental messages." " Thank you." "Gentlemen, I am convinced the Japanese intend to attack at or shortly after 1:00 today." " I'll alert all Pacific commands." " Yes, sir." "Colonel Bratton, just a minute." "Take this to communications center." "Come in." "Captain, can you come to the bridge?" "Very well." "Sub contact, Mr. Goepner?" " We're not sure." " What ship?" "The Navy tug Antares." "Look astern of her, captain." "She's towing a target raft." "Look between the ship and the raft, sir." "That, Mr. Goepner, is a submarine." "She's sneaking through the net into the harbor." "General Quarters." " Sound General Quarters." " All engines ahead, full." " Come left, 15 degrees." " Come left 15 degrees, sir." " Tell Antares we're attacking." " Aye, aye, sir." "Flags, tell Antares we're attacking." " Mount one, commence firing." " Mount one, commence firing." " Stand by to roll depth charges." " Stand by to roll depth charges." " Roll one." " Roll one." " Roll two." " Roll two." "Notify Com-14 we dropped depth charges on a sub in our security zone." "Aye, aye, sir." "Captain Earle speaking." " We have a message from the ward." " All right, read it to me." ""Have dropped depth charges on sub operating in our security zone. "" "We've had so many of these false sightings, Kaminsky." "But this is the real thing, sir." "Closer than any previous sighting." "Just off the harbor entrance." "You and I know the skipper of that destroyer is a green kid." "I'll pass it to Admiral Block." "With all do respect, sir, I think we should alert all commanders." "Confirmation, Kaminsky." "I want confirmation." "This is hot." "General Marshall wants it sent to all commanders by the fastest route." "Right." "The general's handwriting:" "It's hard to read." "You're gonna have to help me with it, Rufe." "Major, I picked up some great music from Honolulu." "That's fine, pipe it through." "Where's the damn chow truck?" "Shut the thing down, George." "It's already after 7." "Hey, Joe, come here." "What do you make of that?" "I've been watching it for minutes." "It's moving in, fast." "I've never seen anything that big." " Looks like two main pulses." " Hey, Joe, I got it." "I make that about 140 miles north, three degrees east." "Don't make sense, we got no planes out that far." "We gotta contact the information center." "Our problem is over at 7:00." "The center might make some sense out of it." "Okay, suit yourself." "Information center." "I don't know, Mac, we're all closed down here." "Is that right?" "Hang on a minute." "Lieutenant, sir." "Lieutenant Tyler." "Sir, this is Private Elliot, Opana Point." "There's a large formation of planes coming in 140 miles, three degrees east." "Well, don't worry about it." "The boys at Opana Point must have picked up the B-17s..." " He said not to worry about it." " Come on, let's go eat." "General, I sent this to Manila, the canal zone and San Francisco but the direct channel to Hawaii is out." "Atmospherics again?" "Yes, sir, it's real bad today." "We could give it to the Navy." "What makes you think their atmospherics are better?" " Send it as a telegram." " Yes, sir." "Do you mean a submarine was cited over half an hour ago and that it's taken this long to report it to me?" "I don't care if it still hasn't been confirmed." "I should've been informed after the ward radioed a first report." "A submarine that close is a serious matter." "A very serious matter." "Get the confirmation or reports to my office." "I mean, right now." "Have my driver get the car." "Aye, aye, sir." "Oh, sir should I tell General Short you'll miss the golf date?" "No, damn it, get my car." "A message for the general at Fort Shafter." " Is it marked urgent?" " No." "It's a little bumpy, Davey but you have to fly in all kinds of weather." "Sure, Miss Fort." "Don't let the nose drop."
