8,524
Interpret? You mean, guess.
917
01:06:08,606 --> 01:06:11,916
They use their
informed intuition, sir.
918
01:06:12,006 --> 01:06:14,759
We guess. It's like
playing chess in the dark.
919
01:06:14,846 --> 01:06:18,521
Any rumour, troop movement, ship
movement, spine tingle, goose bump...
920
01:06:18,606 --> 01:06:20,597
we pay attention to it.
921
01:06:20,686 --> 01:06:22,756
When I was in the Asiatic fleet,
the locals used to try to...
922
01:06:22,846 --> 01:06:25,076
get outside of a problem
to try to see the inside.
923
01:06:25,166 --> 01:06:26,645
Well, I see a strike on Pearl.
924
01:06:26,726 --> 01:06:28,205
It's the worst thing
that could happen.
925
01:06:28,286 --> 01:06:31,676
A blow to Pearl would devastate the
Pacific Fleet's ability to make war.
926
01:06:31,766 --> 01:06:34,803
So, sir, you would have us
mobilize the entire fleet...
927
01:06:34,886 --> 01:06:36,877
at the cost
of millions of dollars...
928
01:06:36,966 --> 01:06:40,163
based on this spine-tingling
feeling of yours?
929
01:06:40,246 --> 01:06:43,921
No, sir. I understand my job
is to gather and interpret material.
930
01:06:44,006 --> 01:06:47,362
Making difficult decisions
based on incomplete information...
931
01:06:47,446 --> 01:06:52,566
from my limited decoding ability
is your job, sir.
932
01:06:52,646 --> 01:06:56,844
Then break the damn naval code, Captain,
so I can make a better decision.
933
01:06:56,926 --> 01:06:59,759
Aye, sir. We are trying.
934
01:07:16,246 --> 01:07:18,885
I wonder if we shouldn't put
the Pacific Fleet on full alert.
935
01:07:25,006 --> 01:07:27,395
In case the optimism
of the <i>Honolulu Advertiser...</i>
936
01:07:27,486 --> 01:07:29,920
proves unfounded, gentlemen...
937
01:07:30,006 --> 01:07:32,964
what are General Short and the army
going to do about protecting my ships?
938
01:07:33,046 --> 01:07:35,435
Within a ten-mile radius
of your harbour...
939
01:07:35,526 --> 01:07:37,482
we have fighter planes
here at Wheeler...
940
01:07:37,566 --> 01:07:39,522
bombers at Hickam
and a tr
