- 00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:40,916
- Twice in a single generation,
- 2
- 00:00:40,999 --> 00:00:45,295
- the catastrophe of world war
- has fallen upon us.
- 3
- 00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:50,092
- Twice in our lifetime
- has the long arm of fate
- 4
- 00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:52,135
- reached out across the oceans
- 5
- 00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:55,931
- to bring the United States
- into the forefront of the battle.
- 6
- 00:00:56,682 --> 00:00:59,810
- Our American
- merchant ships must be free
- 7
- 00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:04,313
- to carry our American goods
- into the harbors of our friends.
- 8
- 00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:10,279
- And our American merchant ships
- must be protected by our American Navy.
- 9
- 00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:15,450
- The brunt of the war
- has fallen upon the sailormen,
- 10
- 00:01:15,534 --> 00:01:18,787
- and we have lost nearly 3,000 lives
- 11
- 00:01:18,871 --> 00:01:23,000
- in a hard, unrelenting struggle,
- 12
- 00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:26,670
- which goes on night and day
- 13
- 00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:30,883
- and is going on now
- without a moment's respite.
- 14
- 00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:34,845
- The goods will be
- delivered by this nation,
- 15
- 00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:38,682
- whose navy believes in the tradition
- 16
- 00:01:39,183 --> 00:01:42,352
- of "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."
- 17
- 00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:12,943
- "Dear Lord,
- let your holy angel be with me,
- 18
- 00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:17,739
- that the evil foe may have no power
- over me. Amen."
- 19
- 00:03:49,313 --> 00:03:50,647
- Merry Christmas.
- 20
- 00:04:11,543 --> 00:04:12,711
- Merry Christmas.
- 21
- 00:04:13,295 --> 00:04:14,296
- Cigars?
- 22
- 00:04:19,051 --> 00:04:21,386
- "Yesterday, today and forever."
- 23
- 00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:24,389
- That's beautiful. I'll put it on my tree.
- 24
- 00:04:26,183 --> 00:04:28,602
- All right. Your turn. Come on.
- 25
- 00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:29,895
- All right.
- 26
- 00:04:37,194 --> 00:04:38,195
- Monogrammed.
- 27
- 00:04:41,657 --> 00:04:42,658
- What's this?
- 28
- 00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:46,370
- Congratulations.
- 29
- 00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:48,872
- Your first command. At last.
- 30
- 00:04:49,414 --> 00:04:50,415
- Aw.
- 31
- 00:04:51,542 --> 00:04:55,712
- After all those years of being fitted
- and retained, a Fletcher-class destroyer.
- 32
- 00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:57,256
- You deserve it.
- 33
- 00:04:57,339 --> 00:05:00,509
- I knew after Pearl Harbor
- they would be needing men like you.
- 34
- 00:05:01,885 --> 00:05:04,137
- I report to Norfolk
- right after the first of the year.
- 35
- 00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:07,516
- Norfolk? Not Treasure Island?
- 36
- 00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:09,518
- That's the navy in a nutshell, isn't it?
- 37
- 00:05:10,185 --> 00:05:11,228
- Yeah.
- 38
- 00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:15,357
- Then the Caribbean
- for training and tactics.
- 39
- 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,944
- Jamaica, the Bahamas, Cuba.
- Rum and Coca-Cola.
- 40
- 00:05:19,611 --> 00:05:21,238
- - Mm.
- - Then active duty.
- 41
- 00:05:22,739 --> 00:05:23,740
- Come with me.
- 42
- 00:05:25,617 --> 00:05:26,994
- I mean it.
- 43
- 00:05:29,788 --> 00:05:32,583
- So I can ask you to marry me
- on a tropical beach.
- 44
- 00:05:35,961 --> 00:05:38,547
- Oh, I'd like that, but we can't.
- 45
- 00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:42,843
- The world has gone crazy, Ernie.
- 46
- 00:05:42,926 --> 00:05:45,137
- Let's wait until we can be together.
- 47
- 00:06:03,322 --> 00:06:05,532
- I will always be looking for you, Evie.
- 48
- 00:06:06,742 --> 00:06:08,160
- No matter where I am.
- 49
- 00:06:09,953 --> 00:06:11,788
- Even if I'm a thousand miles away,
- 50
- 00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:15,042
- I will be hoping I'll see you
- come around the corner.
- 51
- 00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:20,547
- Because when you do, it's...
- It's the greatest feeling in the world.
- 52
- 00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:52,204
- - Morning.
- - Morning, Captain.
- 53
- 00:06:53,163 --> 00:06:54,873
- Charlie, how are the overnights?
- 54
- 00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:56,542
- Convoy's three days into the Pit.
- 55
- 00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:59,253
- No contacts, no incidents,
- except on your ship, sir.
- 56
- 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,881
- Two bored sailors with time
- on their hands, which became fists.
- 57
- 00:07:02,965 --> 00:07:04,967
- - Who?
- - Shannon and Flusser.
- 58
- 00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:07,386
- - Crew's getting nervous, Ernie.
- - Sleep well, sir?
- 59
- 00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:10,180
- I've never had the gift
- for sleeping on board.
- 60
- 00:07:10,264 --> 00:07:12,933
- Hmm. And I can't sleep anywhere else, sir.
- 61
- 00:07:18,856 --> 00:07:20,232
- - Amen.
- - Amen.
- 62
- 00:07:20,858 --> 00:07:22,609
- Sea's a bit high to serve hot food.
- 63
- 00:07:22,693 --> 00:07:24,862
- I could manage a ham steak
- and eggs for you, sir.
- 64
- 00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:27,239
- - This will do. Thank you, Cleveland.
- - Aye, aye, Captain.
- 65
- 00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:33,120
- Report to the commanding officer.
- Clear the room.
- 66
- 00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:41,211
- Uncover.
- 67
- 00:07:55,893 --> 00:07:57,144
- Explain yourselves.
- 68
- 00:07:59,104 --> 00:08:00,105
- Flusser.
- 69
- 00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:02,024
- I regret the incident, sir.
- 70
- 00:08:03,734 --> 00:08:04,818
- Shannon.
- 71
- 00:08:05,569 --> 00:08:08,071
- I too regret the incident.
- 72
- 00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:22,753
- I will tolerate no more fisticuffs
- on my ship.
- 73
- 00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:24,379
- So...
- 74
- 00:08:24,463 --> 00:08:28,217
- "restore the relationships you have
- damaged and fill me with peace."
- 75
- 00:08:33,096 --> 00:08:34,097
- Sir?
- 76
- 00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:38,227
- Captain requested,
- bridge, sir. Captain requested, bridge.
- 77
- 00:08:40,895 --> 00:08:44,608
- Repetition will bring hell
- down from on high.
- 78
- 00:08:46,818 --> 00:08:48,111
- Back to your duties.
- 79
- 00:08:49,363 --> 00:08:50,447
- Count your blessings.
- 80
- 00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:53,158
- Captain on the bridge.
- 81
- 00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:55,661
- Aye.
- 82
- 00:08:55,744 --> 00:08:57,037
- Sir, good morning.
- 83
- 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,374
- Escorts Eagle and Harry are
- out of position, six miles from convoy.
- 84
- 00:09:00,791 --> 00:09:03,919
- They've been off on their own, sir,
- for roughly two hours.
- 85
- 00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:18,368
- Eagle skipper announced,
- "Starting the day with a good hunt," sir,
- 86
- 00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:19,726
- and then Harry joined in.
- 87
- 00:09:32,114 --> 00:09:33,834
- Message from the commodore, sir.
- 88
- 00:09:33,866 --> 00:09:35,325
- Read it out.
- 89
- 00:09:35,409 --> 00:09:39,413
- "Comconvoy to Comescort.
- H-U-F-F D-U-F-F"...
- 90
- 00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:42,749
- "Huff Duff." High-frequency
- direction finding. Continue, please.
- 91
- 00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:47,254
- "Huff Duff reports a German transmission
- bearing 087 degrees.
- 92
- 00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:49,548
- Range 15 to 20 miles."
- 93
- 00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:51,425
- Commodore says a likely U-boat, sir.
- 94
- 00:09:56,805 --> 00:09:59,183
- "Comescort to Comconvoy.
- Will run it down."
- 95
- 00:09:59,266 --> 00:10:00,946
- "Comescort to Comconvoy.
- Will run it down."
- 96
- 00:10:00,976 --> 00:10:02,537
- Wait, wait. "Will run it down. Thank you."
- 97
- 00:10:02,561 --> 00:10:03,955
- "Will run it down. Thank you."
- Aye, aye, sir.
- 98
- 00:10:03,979 --> 00:10:06,523
- - Mister Carling, I have the conn.
- - Captain has the conn.
- 99
- 00:10:06,607 --> 00:10:08,650
- All ahead full. Make turns for 36 knots.
- 100

- Right standard rudder, 079.
- 102
- 00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:15,657
- Right standard rudder to 079.
- Aye, aye, sir.
- 103
- 00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:22,623
- All escorts, Greyhound.
- Return to your stations immediately.
- 104
- 00:10:22,706 --> 00:10:27,753
- We have enemy contact bearing 087,

- 106
- 00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:31,056
- - Aye, Greyhound.
- - Dicky, Greyhound.
- 107
- 00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:34,384
- - Dicky, sir.
- - Modify your station to assist the convoy
- 108
- 00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:35,761
- on the starboard side.
- 109
- 00:10:35,844 --> 00:10:38,347
- Stragglers are mistiming
- the course change.
- 110
- 00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:41,266
- Keep your sonar on that starboard flank.
- 111
- 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:43,602
- Aye, sir. Sonar, starboard flank.
- 112
- 00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:44,895

- - Boatswain, sound general quarters.
- 115
- 00:10:54,363 --> 00:10:55,757
- General quarters, general quarters...
- 116
- 00:10:55,781 --> 00:10:57,717
- - Move. Let's go.
- - All hands, man your battle stations.
- 117
- 00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:59,868
- We are running down
- a possible U-boat contact.
- 118
- 00:11:06,083 --> 00:11:07,763
- Let's hammer
- those sons of bitches.
- 119
- 00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:10,295
- Keep 'em coming, Cleveland.
- 120
- 00:11:13,382 --> 00:11:16,426
- Eagle, Greyhound. Take
- my position at the front of the convoy.
- 121
- 00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:17,970
- We're pursuing the target.
- 122
- 00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:19,888
- Dicky, Greyhound. Cover the right flank.
- 123
- 00:11:19,972 --> 00:11:21,890

- Aye, sir. Covering right flank.
- 125
- 00:11:24,768 --> 00:11:26,144
- Eagle, Harry, Greyhound.
- 126
- 00:11:26,228 --> 00:11:28,438
- What is your ETA
- for resuming new stations?
- 127
- 00:11:28,981 --> 00:11:31,733
- Greyhound, Eagle.
- We can be at our station in 20 minutes.
- 128
- 00:11:32,776 --> 00:11:35,696
- Harry, sir. We're now four miles
- to port of the convoy.
- 129
- 00:11:35,779 --> 00:11:39,908
- Yes, I know, Harry.
- Return to your station at best speed.
- 130
- 00:11:40,450 --> 00:11:42,995
- Sir, I relieved Mister Carling.
- Have the deck and the conn.
- 131
- 00:11:43,078 --> 00:11:46,790
- Mister Watson, we have a target
- bearing 087, range 15 to 20 miles.
- 132
- 00:11:46,874 --> 00:11:48,977
- - I have the conn.
- - Aye, aye, sir. Captain has the conn.
- 133
- 00:11:49,001 --> 00:11:50,294
- - Messenger.
- - Sir.
- 134
- 00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:52,689
- Go to my cabin and bring me
- my sheepskin coat. You'll find it.
- 135
- 00:11:52,713 --> 00:11:53,714
- Aye, aye, sir.
- 136
- 00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,758
- Combat, Conn. Charlie.
- 137
- 00:11:56,842 --> 00:12:01,638
- We're running down a likely sub
- bearing 087, range 15 to 20 miles.
- 138
- 00:12:01,722 --> 00:12:04,308
- I'm hoping it shows up
- on your surface radar.
- 139
- 00:12:05,184 --> 00:12:06,727
- Conn, Combat. Aye, aye, sir.
- 140
- 00:12:15,694 --> 00:12:17,613
- Now hear this, now hear this.
- 141
- 00:12:19,781 --> 00:12:21,158
- This is the captain.
- 142
- 00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:22,910
- We are running down the target.
- 143
- 00:12:22,993 --> 00:12:26,580
- Let us attend our duties well.
- This is what we've trained for.
- 144
- 00:12:26,663 --> 00:12:28,916
- - Martin, what you got?
- - Nothing yet, sir.
- 145
- 00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:40,844
- Got him.
- 146
- 00:12:42,304 --> 00:12:47,267
- Conn, Combat. Target bearing 092,
- range 15 miles.
- 147
- 00:12:47,351 --> 00:12:49,144
- Charlie, what do you make of this target?
- 148
- 00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:50,979
- Most likely a U-boat, sir.
- 149
- 00:12:51,063 --> 00:12:54,525
- Up for air and a battery charge.
- Gettin' ready to come at us, Captain.
- 150
- 00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,988
- Steady on 092, sir.
- 151
- 00:13:00,572 --> 00:13:01,698
- Very well.
- 152
- 00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:11,708
- Conn, Combat. Target bearing steady
- at 094, range 12 miles.
- 153
- 00:13:11,792 --> 00:13:14,795
- Weapons, pass the word,
- do not open fire without orders from me.
- 154
- 00:13:20,884 --> 00:13:22,761
- Range 11 miles, bearing steady on 094.
- 155
- 00:13:22,845 --> 00:13:25,681
- Range 11 miles, bearing steady on 094.
- 156
- 00:13:33,689 --> 00:13:35,023
- Stop that noise.
- 157
- 00:13:35,107 --> 00:13:38,527
- Range 9.5 miles, bearing steady on 094.
- 158
- 00:13:41,029 --> 00:13:42,781
- Close enough for the five-inch, sir.
- 159
- 00:13:44,575 --> 00:13:47,160
- Heavy seas, Mister Watson,
- with only a radar bearing.
- 160
- 00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:49,788

- 476
- 00:34:27,192 --> 00:34:28,792
- The pilot light's on, no surge currents,
- 477
- 00:34:28,819 --> 00:34:30,654
- and I reset the overload relay
- four days ago.
- 478
- 00:34:30,737 --> 00:34:35,449
- I could reset it again, but we're gonna be
- down nearly two hours. Waste of time, sir.
- 479
- 00:34:41,540 --> 00:34:42,541
- Bridge.
- 480
- 00:34:42,623 --> 00:34:45,252
- "The night cometh
- when no man can work," Ernie.
- 481
- 00:34:45,335 --> 00:34:47,129
- Rudel's done all he can.
- 482
- 00:34:47,212 --> 00:34:50,340
- We're just gonna have to live with
- the radar how it is for now, Captain.
- 483
- 00:34:50,924 --> 00:34:52,509
- Understood. Thank you, Charlie.
- 484
- 00:35:37,638 --> 00:35:41,225
- Captain, need to slow
- in the sea, or we risk blowing a turbine.
- 485
- 00:35:41,308 --> 00:35:42,684
- Understood.
- 486
- 00:35:42,768 --> 00:35:44,937
- Mister Harbutt, she can't take it.
- Slow us down a bit.
- 487
- 00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:47,564
- - All ahead two-thirds.
- - All ahead two-thirds. Aye, aye, sir.
- 488
- 00:35:47,648 --> 00:35:49,858
- - Darken the ship.
- - Shift to red.
- 489
- 00:35:50,817 --> 00:35:52,253
- You missed another meal, sir.
- 490
- 00:35:52,277 --> 00:35:54,905
- Brought you a bacon and egg sandwich,
- still warm.
- 491
- 00:35:54,988 --> 00:35:56,740
- I found some of those peaches you like.
- 492
- 00:36:04,706 --> 00:36:05,707
- Amen.
- 493
- 00:36:05,791 --> 00:36:06,792
- Amen.
- 494
- 00:36:06,875 --> 00:36:08,335
- I'll keep the coffee coming, sir.
- 495
- 00:36:08,794 --> 00:36:10,754
- - Coffee, Mister Harbutt?
- - Thank you, sir.
- 496
- 00:36:14,758 --> 00:36:16,134
- Distress rockets, sir.
- 497
- 00:36:16,218 --> 00:36:19,388
- Lookouts report gunfire, bearing 046,
- range three miles.
- 498
- 00:36:21,348 --> 00:36:23,451
- - I'll take it, Mister Harbutt.
- - Captain has the conn.
- 499
- 00:36:23,475 --> 00:36:26,061
- - Bring us up to general quarters.
- - Boatswain Mate, Condition 1.

- Left full rudder. Steer us across
- the front of the convoy.
- 501
- 00:36:28,647 --> 00:36:30,440
- General quarters, general quarters.
- 502
- 00:36:30,524 --> 00:36:32,150

- 503
- 00:36:32,234 --> 00:36:35,445
- Set Condition 1 throughout the ship.
- Lock down all watertight passageways.

- All mounts, fire at will.
- 506
- 00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:42,980
- All mounts, fire at will.
- 507
- 00:36:48,375 --> 00:36:49,835
- Merchant ship dead ahead!
- 508
- 00:36:53,630 --> 00:36:54,965
- Check fire!
- 509
- 00:36:55,048 --> 00:36:57,968
- - Hard left rudder, hard over!
- - Check fire! Cease fire!
- 510
- 00:37:18,238 --> 00:37:19,823
- Right standard rudder!
- 511
- 00:37:19,907 --> 00:37:21,909
- Right standard rudder. Aye, aye, sir.
- 512
- 00:37:32,878 --> 00:37:34,796
- All ahead standard!
- 513
- 00:37:37,883 --> 00:37:39,718
- Son? You heard the order?
- 514
- 00:37:40,511 --> 00:37:42,054
- All ahead standard. Aye, aye, sir.
- 515

- All ahead standard!
- 516
- 00:37:47,601 --> 00:37:48,977
- U-boat!
- 517
- 00:37:49,061 --> 00:37:50,145
- Where?
- 518
- 00:37:50,229 --> 00:37:54,358
- U-boat bearing 012, range 1,000!
- Between us and the freighters!
- 519
- 00:38:02,658 --> 00:38:04,743
- Check! Check! Check!
- 520
- 00:38:04,826 --> 00:38:07,162
- Mister Lopez,
- you have freighters in the line of fire!
- 521
- 00:38:07,246 --> 00:38:09,831
- - Cease fire, cease fire.
- - All batteries, check fire!
- 522
- 00:38:09,915 --> 00:38:11,834
- Cease fire! Cease fire!
- 523
- 00:38:16,463 --> 00:38:19,424
- Friendly fire, friendly fire!
- They can't see us!
- 524
- 00:38:30,227 --> 00:38:31,562
- Close up, close up!
- 525
- 00:38:31,645 --> 00:38:34,064
- Man that telegraph!
- Get replacements up here!
- 526
- 00:38:38,652 --> 00:38:41,172
- - Right full rudder, all ahead two-thirds.
- - Right full rudder. Aye, aye, sir.
- 527
- 00:38:41,196 --> 00:38:43,407
- Mister Lopez,
- prepare to engage that target.
- 528
- 00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:46,177
- When he dives, we're gonna hammer him
- with two patterns: shallow, then deep.
- 529
- 00:38:46,201 --> 00:38:47,119
- Aye, sir!
- 530
- 00:38:47,202 --> 00:38:51,248
- That's the Vasco, sir!
- She's an oil tanker. She could blow!
- 531
- 00:38:53,166 --> 00:38:54,751
- Mind your helm across the column!
- 532
- 00:38:54,835 --> 00:38:56,187
- Minding my helm. Aye, aye, sir.
- 533
- 00:38:56,211 --> 00:38:58,523
- - Slow to one-third.
- - Slow to one-third. Aye, sir.
- 534
- 00:38:58,547 --> 00:39:00,716
- - Watch that merchantman.
- - Aye, sir.
- 535
- 00:39:02,759 --> 00:39:06,096
- He's diving!
- U-boat diving, bearing 040.
- 536
- 00:39:06,180 --> 00:39:07,389
- Range close aboard!
- 537
- 00:39:08,223 --> 00:39:09,516
- - Mister Lopez.
- - Aye, sir.
- 538
- 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,893
- Stand by for shallow pattern.
- 539
- 00:39:10,976 --> 00:39:12,728
- Stand by for shallow pattern.
- Aye, aye, sir!
- 540
- 00:39:12,811 --> 00:39:14,646
- Sonar, sweep for contact
- to starboard beam.
- 541
- 00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:16,940
- Sonar, Bridge.
- Sweep for contact to starboard beam.
- 542
- 00:39:19,109 --> 00:39:21,462
- Bridge, Sonar. There's too many screws.
- I can't hear anything.
- 543
- 00:39:21,486 --> 00:39:23,614
- Sonar reports mixed signals, sir.
- Too many propellers.
- 544
- 00:39:23,697 --> 00:39:25,449
- - On my command, Mister Lopez.
- - Aye, sir.
- 545
- 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,013
- Still too many screws.
- Interference from the convoy.
- 546
- 00:39:30,037 --> 00:39:32,597
- Sonar reports too many screws, sir.
- Interference from the convoy.
- 547
- 00:39:47,304 --> 00:39:48,555
- I got something.
- 548
- 00:39:56,146 --> 00:39:58,273
- Got 'em. Contact close.
- Starboard beam 083.
- 549
- 00:39:58,357 --> 00:40:00,484
- Sonar reports contact close.
- Starboard beam 083, sir.
- 550
- 00:40:00,567 --> 00:40:02,194
- Correction, starboard beam 088, sir.
- 551
- 00:40:02,277 --> 00:40:03,320
- Now, Mister Lopez!
- 552
- 00:40:03,403 --> 00:40:05,989
- Fire, fire! Roll two, fire.
- Port to starboard.
- 553
- 00:40:13,038 --> 00:40:14,623
- Next pattern, Mister Lopez.
- 554
- 00:40:14,706 --> 00:40:15,749
- Again, sir?
- 555
- 00:40:15,832 --> 00:40:17,292
- Yes, again, Mister Lopez!
- 556
- 00:40:17,376 --> 00:40:20,838
- All positions, fire when ready.
- All positions, fire, fire!
- 557
- 00:40:20,921 --> 00:40:22,464
- Helm, meet her! Head up the lane!
- 558
- 00:40:22,548 --> 00:40:25,175
- Meet her.
- Heading up the lane. Aye, aye, sir.
- 559
- 00:40:34,852 --> 00:40:35,894
- Come on.
- 560
- 00:40:37,062 --> 00:40:39,314
- - Sonar reports contact bearing...
- - Correction.
- 561
- 00:40:39,398 --> 00:40:41,709
- - Correction. Sonar reports...
- - Questionable screw noises.
- 562
- 00:40:41,733 --> 00:40:43,318
- Questionable screw noises.
- 563
- 00:40:44,069 --> 00:40:45,112
- Contact stationary.
- 564
- 00:40:45,195 --> 00:40:46,822
- Sonar reports contact stationary.
- 565
- 00:40:46,905 --> 00:40:47,990
- Stationary?
- 566
- 00:40:48,657 --> 00:40:50,158
- Sonar, Bridge. Anything further?
- 567
- 00:40:56,748 --> 00:40:58,584
- Still stationary. Possible decoy.
- 568
- 00:40:58,667 --> 00:41:02,921
- Sonar reports contact is not moving.
- Possible decoy.
- 569
- 00:41:17,186 --> 00:41:18,353
- The tanker, sir!
- 570
- 00:41:30,073 --> 00:41:33,869
- Survivors! Men in the water!
- Port bow! Port bow!
- 571
- 00:41:33,952 --> 00:41:36,622
- Contact.
- Bearing starboard 538, 538.
- 572
- 00:41:36,705 --> 00:41:37,956
- Distance 200 yards.
- 573
- 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,459
- - Mister Harbutt, who's your junior?
- - Wallace, sir.
- 574
- 00:41:40,542 --> 00:41:41,835
- Get him out here.
- 575
- 00:41:45,172 --> 00:41:47,508
- Sir, a message from Cadena.
- 576
- 00:41:47,591 --> 00:41:48,592
- Read it out.
- 577
- 00:41:48,675 --> 00:41:50,594
- "Merchant ships vulnerable
- at rear of convoy.
- 578
- 00:41:50,677 --> 00:41:52,888
- Attack imminent.
- Request your earliest assistance."
- 579
- 00:41:55,182 --> 00:41:58,769
- Captain, survivors 500 yards starboard,
- sir. Proceed with rescue?
- 580
- 00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:08,737
- Get down to midships,
- put down a scrambling net
- 581
- 00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:11,448
- - and get those men out of the water.
- - Aye, aye, sir.
- 582
- 00:42:11,532 --> 00:42:13,659
- Stop engines. All slow astern.
- 583
- 00:42:14,409 --> 00:42:15,911
- Mister Harbutt, you have the conn.
- 584
- 00:42:15,994 --> 00:42:18,705
- Mind the debris and hail me
- the moment Wallace has them aboard.
- 585
- 00:42:18,789 --> 00:42:20,123
- - Aye, aye, sir.
- - Signals?
- 586
- 00:42:20,207 --> 00:42:22,084
- - Aye, sir.
- - "Comescort to Cadena.
- 587
- 00:42:26,046 --> 00:42:27,673
- Will assist as soon as possible."
- 588
- 00:42:28,215 --> 00:42:29,466
- Aye, sir.
- 589
- 00:42:38,809 --> 00:42:40,561
- Give me your hand. Keep climbing.
- 590
- 00:42:41,103 --> 00:42:46,191
- Krauts call it a Pillenwerfer, sir.
- It's German for something.
- 591
- 00:42:46,275 --> 00:42:47,568
- "Pill-thrower."
- 592
- 00:42:47,651 --> 00:42:49,736
- - Yes, go on.
- - Uh, I'd never heard of one before,
- 593
- 00:42:49,820 --> 00:42:54,032
- but I got a buddy who was on the Kidd,
- and he had one on his first crossing.
- 594
- 00:42:54,116 --> 00:42:57,077
- It's a mechanical decoy
- about the size of an icebox,
- 595
- 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,204
- and it shoots out gas
- like an Alka-Seltzer.
- 596
- 00:42:59,288 --> 00:43:00,914
- The krauts just drop it in the water,
- 597
- 00:43:00,998 --> 00:43:03,333
- and it hangs there
- while we waste depth charges on it.
- 598
- 00:43:04,001 --> 00:43:05,669
- Detail it in your after-action report.
- 599
- 00:43:05,752 --> 00:43:08,130
- Make sure all the other operators
- are familiar with it.
- 600
- 00:43:08,213 --> 00:43:10,090
- I... I should've caught it sooner, sir.
- 601
- 00:43:11,550 --> 00:43:13,260
- No, you did good work. Thank you.
- 602
- 00:43:13,343 --> 00:43:14,553
- Sir. Aye, sir.
- 603
- 00:43:14,636 --> 00:43:16,471
- You couldn't have known, Ernie.
- 604
- 00:43:20,350 --> 00:43:22,019
- Got 'em, sir. Four men.
- 605
- 00:43:22,102 --> 00:43:23,942
- - Only four?
- - All they could see or hear, sir.
- 606
- 00:43:23,979 --> 00:43:26,648
- Okay. Head to rear of convoy.
- Right hard rudder, hard over.
- 607
- 00:43:26,732 --> 00:43:27,774
- All ahead two-thirds.
- 608
- 00:43:27,858 --> 00:43:30,068
- Right hard rudder,
- hard over. Aye, aye, sir.
- 609
- 00:43:32,070 --> 00:43:35,115
- Rocket!
- Distress rocket astern! Rear of convoy!
- 610
- 00:43:37,743 --> 00:43:40,204
- All ahead flank. Meet her
- when we're headed down the lane.
- 611
- 00:43:40,287 --> 00:43:42,080
- All ahead flank. Aye, aye, sir.
- 612
- 00:43:51,423 --> 00:43:54,343
- That's the Southland, sir.
- It's an American supply ship.
- 613
- 00:44:16,990 --> 00:44:18,450
- Greyhound, Harry here.
- 614
- 00:44:18,534 --> 00:44:23,080
- To confirm, targets remain at speed
- just outside our perimeter.
- 615
- 00:44:23,747 --> 00:44:26,427
- Southland rescue completed.
- Twenty-eight men rescued, sir.
- 616
- 00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:28,627
- Radar is back up, Captain.
- 617
- 00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:30,379
- Left full rudder to 087.
- 618
- 00:44:30,462 --> 00:44:32,840
- Take us up the right side of the convoy.
- All ahead standard.
- 619
- 00:44:32,923 --> 00:44:34,683
- All ahead standard. Aye, aye, sir.
- 620
- 00:44:34,716 --> 00:44:36,677
- Engine room answers
- all ahead standard, sir.
- 621
- 00:44:40,264 --> 00:44:43,892
- Greyhound. Greyhound, Greyhound.
- 622
- 00:44:43,976 --> 00:44:45,561
- This is Gray Wolf.
- 623
- 00:44:46,478 --> 00:44:52,359
- We hunt you and your friends
- Eagle, Dicky and Harry.
- 624
- 00:44:53,652 --> 00:44:56,905
- We watch your ships sinking into the deep.
- 625
- 00:44:57,656 --> 00:45:02,119
- We hear the screams of your comrades
- as they die.
- 626
- 00:45:03,412 --> 00:45:07,583
- How many of them will there be
- before you join them?
- 627
- 00:45:09,334 --> 00:45:13,755
- The Gray Wolf is so very hungry.
- 628
- 00:45:15,299 --> 00:45:17,902
- - Your women will learn of your dying...
- - Greyhound to all escorts.
- 629
- 00:45:17,926 --> 00:45:21,138
- - And weep into the long night before...
- - Switch TBS traffic to channel Zebra.
- 630
- 00:45:21,221 --> 00:45:24,391
- - They turn to the arms of their lovers.
- - Execute.
- 631
- 00:45:44,661 --> 00:45:45,954
- Eagle here. Pips on the move.
- 632
- 00:45:46,038 --> 00:45:48,874
- One bearing 080,

- 672
- 00:49:19,084 --> 00:49:23,172
- "Wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove."
- 673
- 00:49:28,135 --> 00:49:31,305
- - Captain.
- - I know it's risky, Charlie, but
- 674
- 00:49:31,388 --> 00:49:32,723

- 787
- 00:57:09,471 --> 00:57:11,348
- the sea shall give up her dead,
- 788
- 00:57:11,431 --> 00:57:14,101
- and corruptible bodies of those
- who sleep in him
- 789
- 00:57:14,184 --> 00:57:17,354
- shall be changed
- and made like unto his glorious body
- 790
- 00:57:17,437 --> 00:57:19,398
- according to the m-mighty working
- 791
- 00:57:19,481 --> 00:57:23,485
- whereby he is a-able to subdue
- all things unto himself. Amen."
- 792
- 00:57:27,614 --> 00:57:28,657
- All stop.
- 793
- 00:57:28,740 --> 00:57:30,200
- XO commands all stop.
- 794
- 00:57:30,284 --> 00:57:32,452
- - All stop.
- - All stop, aye.
- 795
- 00:57:38,834 --> 00:57:40,627
- Now, all hands, bury the dead.
- 796
- 00:57:40,711 --> 00:57:43,172
- Now, all hands, bury the dead.
- 797
- 00:57:48,969 --> 00:57:51,555
- Ship's company. Attention!
- 798
- 00:57:54,766 --> 00:57:55,767
- Salute!
- 799
- 00:57:59,062 --> 00:58:01,398
- Firing line, half right, face!
- 800
- 00:58:02,024 --> 00:58:04,902
- Anthony Pisani,
- gunner's mate, third class.
- 801
- 00:58:04,985 --> 00:58:06,945
- Ready. Fire!
- 802
- 00:58:08,822 --> 00:58:12,534
- Daniel Marx, seaman, second. Ready. Fire!
- 803
- 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,208
- George Cleveland, messmate. Ready. Fire!
- 804
- 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,385
- Ready. Two!
- 805

- Distress rocket at rear of convoy!
- 806
- 00:58:44,441 --> 00:58:46,503
- - Left standard rudder.
- - Left standard rudder. Aye, sir.
- 807
- 00:58:46,527 --> 00:58:49,363
- Harry, Dicky. Greyhound.
- Eagle has been hit.
- 808
- 00:58:49,446 --> 00:58:54,409
- I am going to his aid, rear of the convoy.
- Maintain your sweep. Go easy on your fuel.
- 809
- 00:58:54,493 --> 00:58:56,328
- - Aye, sir.
- - Aye, aye, sir.
- 810
- 00:59:03,293 --> 00:59:05,212
- - Messenger, my glasses.
- - Aye, sir.
- 811
- 00:59:05,295 --> 00:59:08,006
- - Meet her.
- - Aye, sir. Heading up the lane.
- 812
- 00:59:08,090 --> 00:59:11,218
- - Right standard rudder.
- - Right standard rudder. Aye, sir.
- 813
- 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:17,826
- - Meet her.
- - Meet her.
- 814
- 00:59:17,850 --> 00:59:20,060
- - All ahead flank.
- - All ahead flank. Aye, sir.
- 815
- 00:59:35,784 --> 00:59:37,077
- - Messenger.
- - Sir.
- 816
- 00:59:45,169 --> 00:59:46,409
- - Mister Harbutt.
- - Sir.
- 817
- 00:59:46,461 --> 00:59:47,546
- That's Eagle and Cadena.
- 818
- 00:59:47,629 --> 00:59:49,464
- Circle them at one mile
- to cover the rescue.
- 819
- 00:59:49,548 --> 00:59:53,427
- - Helm, left standard rudder. Come to 225.
- - Left standard rudder...
- 820
- 00:59:53,510 --> 00:59:56,054
- Eagle, Greyhound. What is your status?
- 821
- 00:59:56,847 --> 00:59:59,516
- We were hit forward of the engine room
- and have a fire below deck.
- 822
- 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:00,809
- Some casualties.
- 823
- 01:00:01,435 --> 01:00:04,354
- The Kong Gustav was hit first,
- sank in three minutes.
- 824
- 01:00:04,438 --> 01:00:05,689
- We saw no survivors.
- 825
- 01:00:06,523 --> 01:00:07,816
- It's a bad afternoon, sir.
- 826
- 01:00:09,067 --> 01:00:10,152
- How seaworthy are you?
- 827
- 01:00:11,445 --> 01:00:14,007
- We have a five-degree list at starboard,
- and we're down at the stern,
- 828
- 01:00:14,031 --> 01:00:16,074
- but we'll tow all right up to five knots.
- 829
- 01:00:16,158 --> 01:00:18,911
- We have a flap of plate sticking up,
- scooping in the sea.
- 830
- 01:00:18,994 --> 01:00:21,163
- The list gets worse if we make any speed.
- 831
- 01:00:22,414 --> 01:00:23,957
- We must keep you afloat, Eagle.
- 832
- 01:00:24,708 --> 01:00:26,460
- We'll do all the sea allows, sir.
- 833
- 01:00:27,002 --> 01:00:29,671
- Very well. Greyhound out.
- 834
- 01:00:57,241 --> 01:00:58,992
- I'm ready to relieve you, sir.
- 835
- 01:00:59,076 --> 01:01:01,370
- Very well.
- We're steady on course 225.
- 836
- 01:01:01,453 --> 01:01:03,997
- And we're at standard speed
- with fuel conservation.
- 837
- 01:01:04,081 --> 01:01:05,582
- I relieve you, sir.
- 838
- 01:01:08,460 --> 01:01:09,461
- Sir?
- 839
- 01:01:10,295 --> 01:01:13,215
- Sir, I stand relieved.
- Mister Carling has the deck and the conn.
- 840
- 01:01:13,715 --> 01:01:14,758
- Very well.
- 841
- 01:01:15,342 --> 01:01:18,846
- Mister Carling,
- Cadena has Eagle under tow at four knots.
- 842
- 01:01:18,929 --> 01:01:21,974
- Continue circling.
- We'll hold the screen at rear of convoy.
- 843
- 01:01:22,724 --> 01:01:24,935
- Sonar, standard sweep to starboard.
- 844
- 01:01:25,435 --> 01:01:27,771
- Sonar, Bridge.
- Search to starboard, standard pattern.
- 845
- 01:01:41,451 --> 01:01:43,996
- Greyhound, Eagle. Greyhound, Eagle.
- 846
- 01:01:49,042 --> 01:01:50,127
- Greyhound.
- 847
- 01:01:50,210 --> 01:01:52,379
- Request permission to abandon ship, sir.
- 848
- 01:01:53,046 --> 01:01:55,090
- The collision mats were not big enough.
- 849
- 01:01:55,174 --> 01:01:58,468
- We have a 15-degree list now,
- and the main deck is underwater.
- 850
- 01:01:59,094 --> 01:02:02,181
- Well, I'm sure you've done all you could.
- Permission granted.
- 851
- 01:02:02,764 --> 01:02:06,185
- She's been a good home, sir.
- It's been an honor sailing with you.
- 852
- 01:02:06,268 --> 01:02:08,437
- We'll be praying for you.
- Godspeed, Captain.
- 853
- 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,689
- Thank you for a job well done.
- 854
- 01:02:32,503 --> 01:02:33,587
- Thank you, Cleveland.
- 855
- 01:02:34,546 --> 01:02:35,631
- I'm Pitts, sir.
- 856
- 01:02:36,632 --> 01:02:38,592
- - Thank you.
- - Sir.
- 857
- 01:02:52,814 --> 01:02:54,191
- I need Mister Cole.
- 858
- 01:02:57,653 --> 01:03:00,364
- XO requested, bridge.
- XO requested, bridge.
- 859
- 01:03:04,535 --> 01:03:05,869
- You wanted to see me, skip?
- 860
- 01:03:16,672 --> 01:03:18,090
- I've lost Eagle.
- 861
- 01:03:18,173 --> 01:03:22,636
- Harry and Dicky are low on depth charges
- and fuel, as are we.
- 862
- 01:03:22,719 --> 01:03:25,764
- I can offer only scant protection
- to the convoy.
- 863
- 01:03:26,723 --> 01:03:28,350
- We need air cover, Charlie.
- 864
- 01:03:30,227 --> 01:03:31,228
- Do...
- 865
- 01:03:37,484 --> 01:03:41,154
- Do I break radio silence
- with a message to the Admiralty?
- 866
- 01:03:41,238 --> 01:03:44,449
- Or does that let the wolf pack know
- just how vulnerable we are?
- 867
- 01:03:44,533 --> 01:03:45,909
- What would the message be?
- 868
- 01:03:48,245 --> 01:03:49,329
- "Help needed urgently."
- 869
- 01:03:50,163 --> 01:03:52,165
- No. "Help needed." That means "urgently."
- 870
- 01:03:52,833 --> 01:03:55,043
- "Needed" isn't needed. Just "help."
- 871
- 01:03:55,127 --> 01:03:58,172
- That's all the Admiralty needs to hear
- for a modified rendezvous point.
- 872
- 01:03:58,255 --> 01:04:00,424
- The Germans might miss a message
- as short as that.
- 873
- 01:04:01,091 --> 01:04:04,678
- I wouldn't need to take this risk
- if I'd been smarter yesterday.
- 874
- 01:04:05,345 --> 01:04:07,723
- What you did yesterday got us to today.
- 875
- 01:04:07,806 --> 01:04:11,602
- It's not enough, Charlie.
- Not nearly enough.
- 876
- 01:04:25,157 --> 01:04:26,575
- Message from the Admiralty, sir.
- 877
- 01:04:27,367 --> 01:04:30,120
- Some of it's badly scrambled, sir.
- I've done my best with it.
- 878
- 01:04:32,247 --> 01:04:33,874
- - XO to the bridge.
- - Aye, aye, sir.
- 879
- 01:04:35,667 --> 01:04:36,710
- What are these scrambles?
- 880
- 01:04:36,793 --> 01:04:39,838
- I think coded numerals, sir.
- But I'm sure of that.
- 881
- 01:04:40,839 --> 01:04:42,508
- "Expect aircraft.
- 882
- 01:04:42,591 --> 01:04:45,177
- His challenge, 'Uncle William.'
- Your answer, 'Baker Dog.'"
- 883
- 01:04:46,595 --> 01:04:47,596
- Captain?
- 884
- 01:04:47,679 --> 01:04:49,806
- Charlie. Message from Admiralty.
- 885
- 01:04:49,890 --> 01:04:51,600
- Reinforcements dispatched.
- 886
- 01:04:53,185 --> 01:04:54,728
- But it's only partially deciphered.
- 887
- 01:04:54,811 --> 01:04:56,331
- Put together a team,
- see what else is there.
- 888
- 01:04:56,355 --> 01:04:57,356
- Aye, aye, sir.
- 889
- 01:05:17,668 --> 01:05:19,127
- Greyhound!
- 890
- 01:05:20,712 --> 01:05:23,715
- Your flock is not safe from this wolf.
- 891
- 01:05:24,967 --> 01:05:28,262
- We can always find you
- in the night to kill you.
- 892
- 01:05:28,345 --> 01:05:29,346
- Escorts, Greyhound.
- 893
- 01:05:29,429 --> 01:05:31,991
- - Or will Dicky die next? Or Harry?
- - Divert all further TBS traffic
- 894
- 01:05:32,015 --> 01:05:33,475
- to channel Hotel. Execute.
- 895
- 01:05:35,394 --> 01:05:37,729
- Thought these were numerals,
- but it was "Point X-ray."
- 896
- 01:05:37,813 --> 01:05:39,940
- "Modify rendezvous point to Point X-ray."
- 897
- 01:05:40,023 --> 01:05:42,609
- - Mm-hmm. How soon?
- - Something like four hours, skip.
- 898
- 01:05:44,069 --> 01:05:45,070
- Sir.
- 899
- 01:06:19,813 --> 01:06:21,356
- - Messenger.
- - Yes, sir.
- 900
- 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:25,277
- Go to my cabin and bring me my slippers.
- 901
- 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:26,361
- Aye, sir.
- 902
- 01:06:45,672 --> 01:06:47,758
- Ah, thank you. Return those.
- 903
- 01:06:58,602 --> 01:06:59,603
- Ah.
- 904
- 01:07:02,689 --> 01:07:04,691
- I've got two contacts
- bearing 099...
- 905
- 01:07:04,775 --> 01:07:07,402
- Combat reports two pips,
- starboard bow. Bearing 099.
- 906
- 01:07:07,486 --> 01:07:08,862
- The other at 168, sir.
- 907
- 01:07:08,946 --> 01:07:11,323
- - Boatswain, take us to white.
- - Aye, aye, sir.
- 908
- 01:07:13,450 --> 01:07:14,785
- Charlie, these pips.
- 909
- 01:07:15,327 --> 01:07:17,996
- Yes, sir, we got two skunks
- showing on surface radar.
- 910
- 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:19,540
- They're heading straight for us.
- 911
- 01:07:19,623 --> 01:07:22,501
- Just two hours to the rendezvous point,
- Ernie, God willin'.
- 912
- 01:07:25,546 --> 01:07:30,759
- All escorts, Greyhound. I have
- two surface targets off to starboard.
- 913
- 01:07:30,843 --> 01:07:32,511
- Maintain your screens.
- 914
- 01:07:33,679 --> 01:07:35,931
- Mister Watson,
- bring us up to general quarters.
- 915
- 01:07:36,014 --> 01:07:38,433
- - General quarters.
- - Aye, aye, sir.
- 916
- 01:07:38,517 --> 01:07:41,246
- General quarters, general quarters.
- All hands, man your battle stations.
- 917
- 01:07:41,270 --> 01:07:43,897
- Harry, Dicky. Greyhound.
- I am engaging targets.
- 918
- 01:07:43,981 --> 01:07:46,501
- Request permission to come down
- there and bounce 'em with you, sir.
- 919
- 01:07:46,525 --> 01:07:48,861
- - Negative, Dicky. Maintain your screen.
- - Aye, sir.
- 920
- 01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:52,030
- - Messenger.
- - Sir.
- 921
- 01:07:54,032 --> 01:07:55,367
- I'd like more coffee, please.
- 922
- 01:07:56,201 --> 01:07:57,286
- Aye, sir.
- 923
- 01:08:06,670 --> 01:08:07,838
- Greyhound.
- 924
- 01:08:08,547 --> 01:08:10,549
- Guten Morgen, Greyhound.
- 925
- 01:08:11,717 --> 01:08:15,429
- Did you think you had slipped away
- from this Gray Wolf?
- 926
- 01:08:15,512 --> 01:08:19,765
- No, you did not. You will not.
- 927
- 01:08:20,684 --> 01:08:24,770
- The sea favors the Gray Wolf on the hunt,
- 928
- 01:08:24,854 --> 01:08:27,399
- not the hound on the run.
- 929
- 01:08:27,983 --> 01:08:31,819
- You and your comrades will die today.
- 930
- 01:08:32,404 --> 01:08:33,404
- Conn, Combat.
- 931
- 01:08:33,488 --> 01:08:35,967
- - Radar showing contact at 110.
- - Periscope to starboard bow.
- 932
- 01:08:35,991 --> 01:08:38,785
- Range is 2,100 yards and closing, sir.
- 933
- 01:08:38,868 --> 01:08:40,120
- About one mile!
- 934
- 01:08:40,871 --> 01:08:42,288
- - There, sir!
- - Fire!
- 935
- 01:08:46,835 --> 01:08:48,462
- The wake, sir! There!
- 936
- 01:08:54,343 --> 01:08:55,426
- Contact 187...
- 937
- 01:08:55,511 --> 01:08:58,971
- Sonar reports torpedoes, starboard beam,
- bearing 187. Range 1,500, sir.
- 938
- 01:09:00,682 --> 01:09:02,684
- - Left full rudder.
- - Left full rudder.
- 939
- 01:09:14,738 --> 01:09:18,575
- Second torpedo to starboard beam!
- Bearing 120! Range 1,000!
- 940
- 01:09:18,658 --> 01:09:21,328
- - Right hard rudder, hard over!
- - Right hard rudder, hard over!
- 941
- 01:09:29,795 --> 01:09:31,880
- Belay that, belay that!
- Meet her. Meet her!
- 942
- 01:09:31,964 --> 01:09:33,215
- Belay. Meet her. Meet her.
- 943
- 01:09:33,298 --> 01:09:34,883
- Aye, sir. Holding course.
- 944
- 01:09:52,734 --> 01:09:54,444
- Right hard rudder, hard over!
- 945
- 01:09:54,528 --> 01:09:56,947
- Starboard slow astern! Port ahead full!
- 946

- 01:15:11,428 --> 01:15:14,723
- I took a round from a sub

- No, that's an order, Commander.
- We'll see the convoy on from here.
- 1003
- 01:15:45,921 --> 01:15:47,840
- I need you to take Dicky and Harry
- back home.
- 1004
- 01:15:47,923 --> 01:15:51,051
- They're not fit to stay in the game,

- 01:15:51,134 --> 01:15:52,135
- Aye, aye, sir.
- 1006
- 01:15:52,803 --> 01:15:55,472
- Tell me, Greyhound, just curious,
- 1007
- 01:15:55,556 --> 01:15:57,683
- how many crossings
- does that make for you now?
- 1008

- Aye, aye, sir.
- 1033

- 1034
- 01:20:34,793 --> 01:20:36,670
- that you have graciously kept me this day.
