0:02:49 > 0:02:52Well, we've never met. Can I introduce myself?

0:06:50 > 0:06:56- TANNOY:- 'Stand clear, spot 3 Heli 7-3-3 rotating.'

0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Give me 25 knots of wind over the deck.- Aye, Captain. All ahead, full.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Central bridge, all ahead full, 1-0-0 rpm.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00'Hold it. Slightly left.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04'In the middle. Looks good.'

0:08:48 > 0:08:53- TANNOY:- 'Get below. We still have aircraft to land.'

0:08:53 > 0:08:57You're on assignment from Tideman Industries to the defence department?

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Yeah, that's right.- What is your job?- I'm a systems analyst.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Efficiency expert, right? - Yeah, you could say that.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16- That's a quick change in the weather.- Yeah. It sure is.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23HE SIGHS

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Hi, CAG.- It's getting a little strange out there, boys.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Welcome aboard, Mr Lasky.- Thank you, Captain. Are we headed for a squall?

0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Not an official one.- Sir, this is Commander Damon, Operations Officer.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41- How do you do, Mr Lasky?- Fine. - And Lt Perry, Officer of the Deck.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45- How do you do?- Mr Lasky's looking at how we do things on the Nimitz.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- We'll give you whatever help we can. - Thanks.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Our departure was delayed two days

0:09:51 > 0:09:55- at the request of your mysterious boss.- Sorry, Captain, but Mr Tideman

0:09:55 > 0:09:59is as much a mystery to me as he is to the rest of the world.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Two days.- Maybe the fact that Tideman helped design and build this ship

0:10:03 > 0:10:05affords him special privileges.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Corporal Kullman will escort you while you're aboard ship. - This way, sir.

0:10:09 > 0:10:14- Oh, Mr Lasky.- Yes, sir. - I'd be delighted if you'd join me for dinner.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Thank you, Captain. I'd like to.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35THUNDER RUMBLES

0:10:37 > 0:10:42Was Black Cloud's forecast this morning for clear skies and sunshine?

0:10:42 > 0:10:47- I'll bet he wishes it wasn't, sir. - Hand me that weather report, please.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thank you.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Sir.- Mm?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08What do you think it is?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11It wasn't there on the morning run.

0:11:12 > 0:11:17- Check all projection lenses and if it's not there, check all receivers. - Aye aye, sir.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26VOICE ON RADIO SPEAKS RUSSIAN

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Nimitz? Who's that?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- The Russian trawler. - What's he want?

0:11:42 > 0:11:43A big fish!

0:11:43 > 0:11:45THEY LAUGH

0:11:45 > 0:11:48You've been assigned navigator's cabin.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Connects with Commander Owens, our Air Wing Commander.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Your luggage has been delivered, sir.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- I'll be just outside, sir, if there's anything you need. - Thank you.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Hello?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00"Pacific At War, Commander Richard T Owens."

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Very well. Captain.- Mm? - We're having communication problems

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- with the incoming flights. - What do you mean?

0:13:16 > 0:13:19It's interference from the storm, sir.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Get Black Cloud up here. - Yes, sir.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Sunshine and clear skies(!)

0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Anything else you'd like to see? - I beg your pardon.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41- What the hell are you doing in my cabin?- I'm sorry.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44You're Commander Owens. I'm Warren Lasky. They put me next door.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48Oh, yes. Mr Lasky, the one thing we cherish aboard a ship is privacy.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Maybe it's because we get so damn little of it.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54I understand. I hope you'll forgive me.

0:13:54 > 0:13:59Er, you know, from what I've read, your manuscript is very good.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03- I mean, really, very good.- Thank you. You a historian, Mr Lasky?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06I'm a bit of everything, I guess. I work for Tideman Industries.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09What exactly is your job aboard this ship?

0:14:09 > 0:14:14I look at the way you do things and if I can think of any alternatives,

0:14:14 > 0:14:17I write a report and submit it to the Department Of Defense.

0:14:17 > 0:14:22- Think you'll find some?- Well, there are always alternatives, Commander.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Mr Lasky, please don't look for them in here.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Excuse me.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41THUNDER RUMBLES

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Boss, CAG's here.- Hi, Dick.- George, any further word from Stanton?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53He's inbound, but we can't talk to him. His radio's garbled.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Just wish he had more experience. - PHONE RINGS

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Yes, Captain. Yes, sir. He's right here.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- CAG. - Yes, Skipper?

0:15:02 > 0:15:04How many planes have you got in the air?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06'One. Our newest pilot, Stanton.'

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Get him aboard quick. I wanna get out of this weather.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Right away, Skipper. He wants him down now. Keep trying.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Try again on 4-1-2. See if you can reach him.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Sir.- Black Cloud, you've been doing unauthorised rain dances again, huh?

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Take a look at the scope, sir.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34The water temperature's down five degrees

0:15:34 > 0:15:37and even the barometer's giving improper readings.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40It should be down and it's way up.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- What the hell is that? - It seems to have a cycle, sir.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48One run, it's there, the next, it's clear.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53One, there, the next, it's clear. I've never seen anything like it.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Head the destroyers back to Pearl Harbor.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- No need for them to go through this. - Yes, sir.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Keep her in the wind till we get that Corsair aboard. He's a new pilot.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06All units at Romeo-Alpha, this is Kilo-Bravo.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25'1-2, unsafe hook. Recycle your hook.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27'Negative. I've tried that.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31'4-1-2, your transmission's poor, say your fuel state.'

0:16:31 > 0:16:36- Captain, that Corsair can't get his hook down. We need the barricade. - Rig it.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Air ops, on the flight deck.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42'We have a Corsair in trouble, can't get his hook down.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45'This is not a drill.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49'I repeat, this is not a drill.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53'Now, rig the barricade. All on deck, all on deck.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56'This is not a drill.'

0:17:12 > 0:17:15'All personnel off the deck, now.'

0:17:17 > 0:17:20'Barricade coming up. Clear the area.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23'Clear the flight deck.'

0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Dick, do you see him out there yet? - Yeah, there he is. Here he comes.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- 'Aye, sir.' - Where's that plane?

0:19:28 > 0:19:31I don't see it, Captain.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Sound general quarters. - Aye, Captain.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10'All personnel on the flight deck, let's turn to.'

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Is this the last known position of our destroyer before the storm? - Yes, sir.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Skipper.- Dan, go down and check out the threat board.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Keep me posted. - Right.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Get CAG up here.- Yes, sir. - I wanna talk to St Pat fleet.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46We're down across the board. Antennas check out, but we're off air.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Any word from our destroyers?

0:22:49 > 0:22:53Just some code transmissions in the 200-metre band. We're dead as a doornail.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Ops, what's our radar picture? - Radar shows us clear, sir.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Clear? Can't you see that Russian trawler?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I have the signal officer on deck, but no sightings.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07- Keep me advised. Navigator, what's our pos?- 2-7-0, Captain.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- 280-miles west of Pearl Harbor. - Oh, Dick.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Launch a Hawkeye to check ship's communications,

0:23:12 > 0:23:17a Crusader to make a photo run over Pearl and put two Tomcats on alert.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Aye aye, sir. - Captain. Captain.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Hey, what happened?

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Frankly...I don't know.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Lieutenant, have the heads of all departments meet me

0:23:28 > 0:23:32- at CBIC immediately after the launch. - Aye aye, sir.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Mr Lasky, I want you to stay with me.- Captain's off the bridge.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- It's a code. - Can you break it, Chief?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42I think someone's putting us on.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Why?- Because I learned this code at Great Lakes.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It's ancient. - Thanks, Chief.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53'Stand clear at 0-12. Hawkeye rotating.'

0:24:16 > 0:24:18'Off the bow, stand clear.'

0:24:43 > 0:24:45MEN SHOUT

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!

0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Go hold your horn!- Who said that?

0:24:49 > 0:24:52All we wanna know is, what's going on?

0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Whatever it is, you'll be told. - When?- When the skipper's ready.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57ALL MUTTER

0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Hey, what's going on? - Attention on deck.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Carry on.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Gentlemen, we're at general quarters

0:25:13 > 0:25:17because I don't have any idea what's happened.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20But I don't exclude the possibility of war.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24- A nuclear strike? - Possibility.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Now, what action has been taken?

0:25:27 > 0:25:30There's nothing on the threat board,

0:25:30 > 0:25:34- no significant damage and the crew's in good shape.- Air Wing is intact.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38First team's ready. E-2 is showing the area clear

0:25:38 > 0:25:41- and recon should be coming up on Pearl soon.- George?

0:25:41 > 0:25:44Reactor is stable. All readings are normal.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Capable of maximum speed, Captain.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Roy? - We can transmit and receive,

0:25:49 > 0:25:51- but we can't reach anybody. - Why?

0:25:51 > 0:25:55Tried everybody. St Pat. I even took a crack at the White House.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59We have some low-band transmissions, manual stuff with very low power.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03- We'll have to re-tune to transmit at that range.- Get on with it.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08- Ops?- All radars up. All weapons systems check out. We're ready, sir.

0:26:09 > 0:26:14- Mr Lasky, you have anything to add? - No, sir. Not at this time.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18Skipper, I have a report coming in now, sir.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24'Flight level 2-5-0, camera rolling.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27'There doesn't appear to be any damage.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29'Seems to be some unusual shipping traffic.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33'I'll make another pass for a close up, over.'

0:26:33 > 0:26:37- ETA to Nimitz, 12 minutes, sir. - We're picking up some weird traffic

0:26:37 > 0:26:41on the AM entertainment circuit, but the signal strength is very weak.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45'It's no use! I tried and tried and I can't get him to go to sleep.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49'The polar bear's gotta go to sleep. He's supposed to be hibernating.'

0:26:53 > 0:26:55- 'Upstairs reading Esquire. - LAUGHTER

0:26:55 > 0:26:58'Esquire? Well, take it away from him.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01- 'Oh, come now. He's been around.' - LAUGHTER

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Roy, tape and monitor all transmissions.

0:27:05 > 0:27:10Ops, I want a closer look on all air, surface and sub-surface contacts within 250 miles of this ship.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Put some tankers and a medium-sized strike force

0:27:13 > 0:27:16- on a 30-minute alert.- Aye aye. - Any questions?

0:27:16 > 0:27:19The ship's still at general quarters. Request permission

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- to go to condition three. - Granted.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51And therefore... And therefore... Oh, here we are.

0:29:51 > 0:29:56"If he does support my programme, let Senator Chapman be assured now,

0:29:56 > 0:30:00"that I am fully aware of those qualities in him,

0:30:00 > 0:30:04- "which recommend him as cabinet material."- That says it exactly.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08- You agree?- Miss Scott, you should have been a diplomat. - I thought I was.

0:30:08 > 0:30:14You've cooked up a compromise that'll make your boss the next Vice President of the United States.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19- I better type this up before you try to improve it.- Thanks, Laurel.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26Arthur, will you leave her enough clothes on not to catch cold?

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- She's too valuable to me right now. - You slept with her yet?

0:30:29 > 0:30:34- What kind of a question is that to ask a married man?- You son of a gun!

0:30:34 > 0:30:37- I better go check what she's doing. - Oh, sure.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41Have another drink and stop thinking about how much

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- everybody else is getting. - Thanks.- See you later.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51We swung it, Laurel. How about that? We really swung it.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Did you tell him you were sleeping with me?- What?

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Laurel. I wish I was, but I'm not gonna lie about it.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02People assume we are, anyway. I guess I'll have

0:31:02 > 0:31:06- to live with the fact.- Fact? - Of what they think.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09You're a strange girl, Laurel. You give more back talk

0:31:09 > 0:31:13and less co-operation than any girl on Capital Hill.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17I don't know why I put up with you. I don't know why I don't fire you.

0:31:17 > 0:31:22I'm the best assistant you'll find and you're still more interested in politics than sex.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Their speed! Are they ours?

0:32:05 > 0:32:09I don't know. If they are ours, they're a closed secret.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Excuse me.

0:33:59 > 0:34:04- Captain.- Yes?- Sir, is it possible that this could be part

0:34:04 > 0:34:07- of some secret naval manoeuvre? - Of course not.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10There are a few people who'd like to watch us work under pressure.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14- What are you saying, Dan?- The Department Of Defense sent him here.

0:34:14 > 0:34:19- Maybe they gave him something to watch?- That makes more sense.

0:34:19 > 0:34:23Wait a minute. You may be the victims of some kind of joke,

0:34:23 > 0:34:27but whether the Pentagon's behind it or the Kremlin or men from Mars,

0:34:27 > 0:34:29I promise you, I'm as much in the dark about it as you are.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03Sir, I think you ought to see these. Aerial reconnaissance photos

0:35:03 > 0:35:07- of Pearl Harbor.- Turn that off! - Yes, sir.- That'll be all, you.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19- It's not Pearl Harbor. - Sure as hell is.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Look at that old battle rig.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24It's a memorial now.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27It's the Arizona.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32- But...she's completely intact. - That's right.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Get Mr Lasky back up here. - Yes, sir.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44- What's the matter with you? - I was just on the bridge.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47They're scared, real scared.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50- What happened? - It's crazy.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03You're always talking shit.

0:36:05 > 0:36:10Mr Lasky, I want a straight answer.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14I don't give a damn about any orders you've had elsewhere.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Is there something you've held back? - Absolutely nothing, Captain.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24All right. I accept that.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28Here's a photo taken by our pilots less than an hour ago.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35- May I suggest something, Captain? - I'm wide open.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Ask Commander Owens to come up here

0:36:37 > 0:36:41and bring the photos he's using to illustrate his book.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Why?- I think he'll have something very interesting to show you, sir.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47All right.

0:36:53 > 0:36:58'Tanker, you got two thirsty Tomcats. What have you got?

0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Dick, where'd you get these?- I got them from the Smithsonian, sir.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30They're old photos of Pearl.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Just like these. - Not like these.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35That was taken less than an hour ago.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39I don't understand. These are pre-World War II pictures.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42This is the fleet that was destroyed.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46Sir, CIC reports two bogeys at low altitude, distance 125 miles.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Have our fighters take an ID pass. - Aye, Captain.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58Have our fighters investigate and identify 0-9-0. Signal Buster.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01Aye, sir. Alert-1, this is Eagle control.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04'Vector 2-1-0 for the bogey. Bogeys going slow.

0:38:04 > 0:38:08'Your signal is Buster. I say again, your signal is Buster.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22That's the Arizona, Tennessee, West Virginia.

0:38:22 > 0:38:27You're saying that these are both photographs of Pearl Harbor

0:38:27 > 0:38:32on December the 6th, 1941, hm?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Yes, sir.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Our reconnaissance plane has just taken pictures

0:38:40 > 0:38:45of something that hasn't existed... for over 40 years.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Sir, we've got ID on the bogeys.

0:38:49 > 0:38:53- Captain's on the bridge. - What button?- 11, sir.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59Alert-1, this is Eagle-1. What have you got?

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- 'Two Japanese Zeros, sir. - Two what?!

0:39:02 > 0:39:06'Two trophy-class, Mitsubishi A6Ms in original condition,

0:39:06 > 0:39:10'complete with all markings. They look brand new, sir.'

0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Have you been spotted?- 'Negative. We're on their six-o'clock high.'

0:39:14 > 0:39:19- Stay in visual contact. Take no action without clearance. - 'Willco, Eagle-1. Out.'

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Jack Benny and Rochester. - And newscasts from World War II.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Somebody, for some reason,

0:39:27 > 0:39:31wants us to believe that we're back in 1941. Now, who wants it?

0:39:31 > 0:39:34- The Russians. - Oh, Dan.- Maybe.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37Excuse me, Captain, but we also have to consider

0:39:37 > 0:39:40- one alternative possibility. - What's that?

0:39:40 > 0:39:43The possibility that what's happening is real.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47- That's ridiculous.- Maybe, but we have some pretty strong evidence, sir.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51Let's not write off an explanation for it because we don't like it.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55Now, how would that be possible, Mr Lasky? Could you explain that to me?

0:39:55 > 0:39:59No, sir. I can't, but we know that movement through time

0:39:59 > 0:40:03- is possible. Einstein proved it. - In theory.- In theory.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06All we have to do is go through a storm at sea and bingo!

0:40:06 > 0:40:08We're cleverer than Einstein?

0:40:08 > 0:40:11What sort of storm was that? Nothing like I've ever seen.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Nothing like ANY of us have ever seen.

0:40:13 > 0:40:18There are forces in the universe that we're only now beginning to understand.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Understand through science, not superstition.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23There are black holes, antimatter, curved space.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Things that are as strange to us as electricity

0:40:26 > 0:40:29would've been to people in the Middle Ages, or this ship in World War II.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37Crew's anxious for an explanation too.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42We've gotta get a clearer picture of all this.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46Let's go to CIC.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05- Hey.- What is it? - Listen.- What is it?

0:41:05 > 0:41:08ENGINES HUM

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- It's those planes again. - No, no, no.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18Different noise entirely.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20There they are.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43- They're not ours, are they? - No. Certainly not.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47They have Japanese markings.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00They're coming in again.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06Laurel, ask the captain to radio Hawaii.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10Find out about Japanese fighter planes in the area.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Yes, Senator.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Oh, God! They're shooting! - Argh!

0:42:28 > 0:42:31- DOG BARKS - Oh, God!

0:42:31 > 0:42:34Oh, my God!

0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Oh, no! - The captain send the message?

0:42:41 > 0:42:44We've gotta get off this boat.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Come on, Laurel.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51'Eagle control, this is Alert-1.

0:42:51 > 0:42:56- 'They just strafed the hell out of that yacht!'- Why attack a yacht?

0:42:56 > 0:43:00Their job's to destroy anything with a radio that can warn Pearl Harbor.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Providing you and Mr Einstein are correct.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Dick, where would the Japanese fleet be at this time

0:43:06 > 0:43:09on December the 6th, 1941?

0:43:09 > 0:43:13Well, they'd be off the scope, but a guess would be around about here.

0:43:13 > 0:43:17- Excuse me.- They'd be here, in the north-west sector.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20Let's get this settled. Have the E-2 check it out.

0:43:20 > 0:43:23- I want to see if the Japanese task force is out there.- Yes, sir.

0:43:23 > 0:43:27'Eagle control, Alert-1. They're making another run.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30'They'll shoot that yacht to pieces!

0:43:30 > 0:43:34- 'Request permission to arm and fire.'- For God's sake...- Negative.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37- Charlie! - No, Laurel, not now! Come on!

0:43:37 > 0:43:40Those planes are coming in. Come on.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43Let's go! Come on, Harvey!

0:43:57 > 0:44:02'Eagle control, they blew it to bits. They hit the fuel tank!'

0:44:02 > 0:44:05- Any survivors? - 'Stand by.

0:44:05 > 0:44:09'Affirmative. One, two, three Mae Wests.

0:44:09 > 0:44:14'They're gonna hit them in the water! Request permission to fire!'

0:44:14 > 0:44:18This is Eagle-1. You are clear to arm, but do not fire.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21'Throw them off, play with them, but don't fire.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23'Affirmative.'

0:44:26 > 0:44:30- Sam!- All right! - Sam!- It's all right. I'm all right.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35- Look out! - Oh, no! They're coming again!

0:44:39 > 0:44:42Harvey, get that lifejacket off and dive!

0:44:42 > 0:44:46- I can't swim! - Here they come!

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Harvey!

0:44:55 > 0:44:57Harvey!

0:45:01 > 0:45:04- Harvey! - He's dead.

0:45:11 > 0:45:14- DOG WHINES - It's OK. Easy, boy.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16Up you go.

0:45:27 > 0:45:31'That woke 'em up.'

0:45:31 > 0:45:33'I think we should give them another shot.'

0:47:11 > 0:47:14'Why the hell are we playing with these guys?'

0:47:16 > 0:47:21- Radar shows enemy planes heading on course 2-2-0.- 2-20.

0:47:21 > 0:47:24Skipper, they're heading straight for us

0:47:24 > 0:47:28and we've got an armed strike force just sitting on the deck.

0:47:29 > 0:47:32Alert-1, this is Eagle-1.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35You're clear to fire. Splash the Zeros.

0:47:35 > 0:47:39- I say again, splash the Zeros. - "Yes, sir."

0:47:39 > 0:47:42This has got to be a dream.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43"Eagle control, Alert-1."

0:48:43 > 0:48:46"Splash two."

0:48:46 > 0:48:49"Repeat, splash two."

0:48:49 > 0:48:52"Possibly one survivor in the water."

0:48:52 > 0:48:55Captain, the E-2 is coming up on Charlie.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58"Eagle control, we have multiple radar contacts

0:49:10 > 0:49:12"Over."

0:49:12 > 0:49:14- That is the Japanese attack force. - Yeah.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17I guess now we know.

0:49:17 > 0:49:21Look, Dick, take personal charge of a rescue team.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Keep the survivors isolated.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27- Crazy situation. Look, you know what I want.- I understand.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30- Keep the fighters airborne to cover the rescue.- Aye, sir.

0:49:30 > 0:49:34Track and report all movements of the Japanese task force.

0:49:34 > 0:49:38- Aye, sir.- Still think it's a dream? - It's a nightmare.

0:50:55 > 0:50:57- Let go! - Forget the damn dog!

0:51:37 > 0:51:39- Boss, 3-6. - "Go ahead, 3-6."

0:51:39 > 0:51:42Two survivors. We're waiting to pick up CAG.

0:51:42 > 0:51:46- "CAG?! What the hell is he doing in the water?"- Dammed if I know.

0:51:57 > 0:51:59Charlie!

0:52:05 > 0:52:08You all right, ma'am?

0:52:10 > 0:52:14- How are you feeling, sir?- What the hell kinda machine is this thing?

0:52:14 > 0:52:19- What's your ship?- It's an aircraft carrier. AW Commander Richard Owens.

0:52:19 > 0:52:23- Sam Chapman. - Senator Samuel Chapman?

0:52:23 > 0:52:27That's right. Sure am glad you were out here.

0:52:30 > 0:52:33Yes, sir.

0:52:47 > 0:52:50"On the flight deck. Clear the flight deck."

0:52:50 > 0:52:53"7-3-6 inbound."

0:53:06 > 0:53:09OK, Senator. Watch yourself. Watch your head.

0:53:13 > 0:53:16Hang on to me, sir.

0:53:21 > 0:53:25- It's all right, ma'am. - I'll take the dog for you, sir.

0:53:51 > 0:53:54TANNOY CONTINUES

0:53:56 > 0:53:58Little bastard.

0:54:29 > 0:54:32Mind the store. I'm going forward.

0:54:36 > 0:54:38Holy cow!

0:54:38 > 0:54:41It's the whole Japanese fleet.

0:54:54 > 0:54:58Have these things returned to the Japanese pilot. Get this translated.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00Aye, sir.

0:55:01 > 0:55:04Captain's on the bridge.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15Mr Lasky. Gentlemen.

0:55:15 > 0:55:18Captain's off the bridge.

0:55:28 > 0:55:31We can't ignore it any longer. Every man on this ship

0:55:31 > 0:55:35knows that we have visual contact with the Japanese fleet

0:55:35 > 0:55:38approaching Pearl Harbor on December the 6th, 1941.

0:55:38 > 0:55:43- What do we do about it?- What we do is blow them out of the water.

0:55:43 > 0:55:47The USS Nimitz declares war on the Japanese empire?

0:55:47 > 0:55:51That's what we'd be doing, but they haven't attacked Pearl Harbor yet.

0:55:51 > 0:55:56They only evidence we have that they intend to is in the history books.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58It opens up some amazing possibilities.

0:55:58 > 0:56:02Think of the firepower of the USS Nimitz back in 1941.

0:56:02 > 0:56:05What kind of possibilities, Mr Lasky?

0:56:05 > 0:56:08Possibilities for the future, Mr Owens.

0:56:08 > 0:56:11Think of the history of the next 40 years.

0:56:12 > 0:56:17I have a suspicion history will be more difficult to beat than you imagine.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20I'm talking about the classic paradox of time.

0:56:20 > 0:56:25Imagine I go back and meet my grandfather before he got married and had children.

0:56:25 > 0:56:29We have an argument and I kill him. If that happens,

0:56:29 > 0:56:31how am I ever gonna be born?

0:56:31 > 0:56:35And if I can never be born, how can I go back and meet my grandfather?

0:56:37 > 0:56:40I'm not half the theorist you are, Mr Lasky,

0:56:40 > 0:56:44but I have a gut instinct that things only happen once, and if they have happened,

0:56:44 > 0:56:47then there's nothing we can do to change them, nor should we try.

0:56:47 > 0:56:51How are you gonna avoid it? It's happening, we're involved!

0:56:51 > 0:56:55For Christ's sake, what is this?! Some Princeton debating society?!

0:56:55 > 0:56:58We are in a war situation!

0:56:58 > 0:57:02This is a United States warship, or at least it used to be!

0:57:02 > 0:57:05Or will be, or what-the-hell ever!

0:57:05 > 0:57:09Oh, goddamit! You can drive yourself crazy thinking about this stuff!

0:57:09 > 0:57:12- Jesus, I must be dreaming! - Now, hold it, hold it.

0:57:12 > 0:57:15All right. Let's all calm down.

0:57:15 > 0:57:18Let's take it one step at a time and by the book.

0:57:18 > 0:57:22If the United States of America falls under attack,

0:57:22 > 0:57:25our job is to defend her,

0:57:25 > 0:57:27in the past, present or future.

0:57:27 > 0:57:30- And after that? - After that, we take our orders

0:57:30 > 0:57:34from the Commander-In-Chief of the United States Armed Forces.

0:57:34 > 0:57:37Franklin Delano Roosevelt?

0:57:55 > 0:57:58- Everything all right? - You in command?

0:57:58 > 0:58:01I'm a doctor. Ship's commander is Captain Yelland.

0:58:01 > 0:58:04- I'm sure he'll be down to see you soon.- I hope so.

0:58:04 > 0:58:08- You both seem none the worse for your little mishap.- Mishap?

0:58:08 > 0:58:14- You call getting a boat shot from under you and three people dead a mishap?- Are we at war?

0:58:14 > 0:58:17- KNOCK AT DOOR - I'm not in a position to tell you. ..Yes?

0:58:17 > 0:58:21Charlie! Charlie!

0:58:21 > 0:58:23Oh, Charlie, am I glad to see you.

0:58:23 > 0:58:26- DOG BARKS - Doctor,

0:58:26 > 0:58:30please inform the captain that Senator Samuel Chapman, co-chairman

0:58:30 > 0:58:35- of the defense committee, would like to see him now.- Of course, Senator.

0:58:36 > 0:58:39Doctor, I believe I said now!

0:58:39 > 0:58:43First, a vitamin shot. Now, if you'll both roll up your sleeves.

0:58:43 > 0:58:47- Senator? - You can take your needles, Doctor,

0:58:47 > 0:58:51and whatever's in them and get the hell out of here!

0:58:53 > 0:58:55Corporal.

0:59:04 > 0:59:07What the hell are we? Prisoners?!

1:00:30 > 1:00:33So, history may be tougher to beat than I imagined.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35You're a real pain in the ass.

1:00:35 > 1:00:40- You take a lot of risks for someone who's intelligent.- Do I?

1:00:40 > 1:00:43"The attack on Pearl Harbor was far from a surprise for many people,

1:00:43 > 1:00:46"among them, Senator Samuel Chapman,

1:00:46 > 1:00:50"who had argued for an increase in our strength in the Pacific."

1:00:50 > 1:00:53"The senator disappeared following the attack

1:00:53 > 1:00:57"he had foreseen so clearly. Had he lived, it's very possible

1:00:57 > 1:01:02"Chapman could have been Roosevelt's running mate in the 1944 election

1:01:02 > 1:01:06"and, upon his death, the next president of the United States."

1:01:06 > 1:01:09If that's not trying to beat history, I don't know what is.

1:01:09 > 1:01:13- I knew who we had the moment I heard his name.- Why keep it to yourself?

1:01:13 > 1:01:18I haven't your appetite for playing God! Should I have thrown him back?!

1:01:18 > 1:01:21That would've preserved history... as you wrote it.

1:01:21 > 1:01:26- Go to hell, Lasky.- Go to hell yourself. I wanna meet Chapman.

1:01:27 > 1:01:29Goddammit!

1:01:29 > 1:01:33If this wasn't happening to me, I wouldn't believe it.

1:01:33 > 1:01:36- Who the hell are these people?! - The navy.

1:01:36 > 1:01:38The navy, yeah. But what part of it?

1:01:38 > 1:01:42I've never seen machines like they've got on board this thing

1:01:42 > 1:01:45and where have they been developing aircraft like that?

1:01:45 > 1:01:48The navy would have to appear before my committee

1:01:48 > 1:01:51and I've never even heard a whisper about...

1:01:51 > 1:01:55rocket planes and that thing the pulled us out of the sea with.

1:01:55 > 1:01:59And naming this ship after Chester Nimitz, an active-duty admiral!

1:01:59 > 1:02:02What the hell's going on here?!

1:02:02 > 1:02:04Roosevelt. He owns the military.

1:02:06 > 1:02:10That's it. FDR has wanted the United States in this war since it started.

1:02:10 > 1:02:14But he knows it won't happen except in response to an attack!

1:02:14 > 1:02:18- You said the Japanese would attack. - That's right and who's sitting here

1:02:18 > 1:02:23with no press while the White House takes credit for raising the alarm

1:02:23 > 1:02:26- and being ready to hit back? - Obviously, we are.

1:02:26 > 1:02:28Goddammit!

1:02:42 > 1:02:47- Anything?- He's either too scared or too well briefed to talk about it.

1:02:48 > 1:02:50Excuse me.

1:02:55 > 1:02:59- All right, Corporal. - Commander, I demand to know why...

1:02:59 > 1:03:03- DOG BARKS - Charlie!- Whoa, whoa. I got him.

1:03:11 > 1:03:13Jesus Christ!

1:03:13 > 1:03:16- No, don't! - DOG BARKS

1:03:16 > 1:03:19Oh, my God!

1:03:58 > 1:04:02- He shot maybe one or two of your men.- Move it.

1:04:06 > 1:04:09Captain, prisoner grabbed a weapon.

1:04:09 > 1:04:12He shot one of my men, maybe two.

1:04:12 > 1:04:15We're in position and the area is sealed off.

1:04:24 > 1:04:26Can we get a translator down here, for God's sakes?

1:04:26 > 1:04:30How the hell do we know what he's saying if we can't understand him?

1:04:30 > 1:04:33We need a translator to tell him we need a translator.

1:04:33 > 1:04:34HE SHOUTS IN JAPANESE

1:05:47 > 1:05:50He repeats the demand.

1:05:50 > 1:05:53- Or else?- He will kill again.

1:05:57 > 1:06:02Well, there's no chance if things remain the way they are.

1:07:37 > 1:07:41You're an expert on what's gonna happen. Why don't you tell him?

1:07:41 > 1:07:46- Go on! Tell him! We got nothing to lose!- Dick.- 'Yes, sir.'- Go ahead.

1:07:46 > 1:07:48'Tell him.'

1:10:02 > 1:10:06I wanna get out of this bathrobe and into some clothes!

1:10:06 > 1:10:10- Will somebody please get me some clothes, for God's sake!- Chief,

1:10:10 > 1:10:13- get the senator some clothes. - Yes, sir.

1:10:13 > 1:10:15Senator, Matt Yelland, commanding officer.

1:10:15 > 1:10:19Where and how did you get all this information I've been hearing?

1:10:19 > 1:10:22- And is it true? - Yes, sir.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25Did you inform Pearl Harbor command?

1:10:25 > 1:10:28- No, Senator. - Why the hell not?

1:10:30 > 1:10:34The reasons are a little complicated, but believe me, Senator,

1:10:34 > 1:10:38this carrier's capable of handling any attack should it occur.

1:10:38 > 1:10:40One carrier against a whole fleet?

1:10:40 > 1:10:44- What kind of an idiot do you take me for?- Calm down.- To hell with you.

1:10:44 > 1:10:48- Tell Pearl Harbor what's happening here or I'll tell them.- Very well.

1:10:48 > 1:10:52Dan, set up the communications in my in-port cabin.

1:10:54 > 1:10:58Wouldn't you like to talk to them with some clothes on?

1:11:00 > 1:11:03- Thank you, Captain. - Follow me, sir.

1:11:10 > 1:11:13- Are you all right? - Yes, sir. I'm fine.

1:11:13 > 1:11:15- Can you do that, Captain? - Hm?

1:11:15 > 1:11:19Contact Pearl Harbor... back in 1941?

1:11:20 > 1:11:22I think so.

1:11:22 > 1:11:25Then what do you do?

1:11:25 > 1:11:28- One step at a time. - Yeah.

1:11:28 > 1:11:30Like a minefield.

1:11:46 > 1:11:51This is Senator Samuel S Chapman of the United States Senate

1:11:51 > 1:11:54on board the aircraft carrier Nimitz

1:11:54 > 1:11:57- and Captain Yelland is here with me. - 'You're on what?!'

1:11:57 > 1:12:00I repeat, I am Senator Samuel S Chapman

1:12:00 > 1:12:02on board the USS Nimitz.

1:12:02 > 1:12:06'Oh, right. Whoever the hell you are, use of military frequencies

1:12:06 > 1:12:09'by unauthorised personal is a felony.'

1:12:09 > 1:12:15- Now, just a minute here, sir.- 'As we have no aircraft carrier Nimitz and no Captain Yelland,

1:12:15 > 1:12:19'I suggest, asshole, that you stop impersonating some other asshole

1:12:19 > 1:12:22'and get off the air. You're wasting our time!'

1:12:22 > 1:12:28How dare you talk to me that way?! Captain, tell him who you are! Speak to them.

1:12:32 > 1:12:34You. What are you doing here? You're a civilian.

1:12:34 > 1:12:38I'm with the Department of De... I mean, the navy department, sir.

1:12:38 > 1:12:42- That's more like it. What's going on?- I'm just an observer here, sir.

1:12:42 > 1:12:45I can't tell you anything more than you know.

1:12:46 > 1:12:49What's happening here?

1:12:51 > 1:12:53Who are you people?

1:13:00 > 1:13:03The captain requests that you and Miss Scott

1:13:03 > 1:13:06- join him in his in-port cabin. - Thank you.

1:13:09 > 1:13:12- I'll wait outside while you change. - Please,

1:13:12 > 1:13:16I really don't wanna be left alone right now.

1:13:16 > 1:13:18I'll just be a minute.

1:13:24 > 1:13:27Just exactly what is it you do for the senator, Miss Scott?

1:13:27 > 1:13:30I work for him, Commander.

1:13:30 > 1:13:34I'd like to think I'm more than just a secretary.

1:13:34 > 1:13:37I write most of his speeches. In general, I'm his assistant.

1:13:37 > 1:13:42That's quite an accomplishment for a woman in your... This day and age.

1:13:42 > 1:13:46Let me tell you something, I'm ambitious and very capable.

1:13:46 > 1:13:49That's a combination that's not much appreciated.

1:13:49 > 1:13:51It's a man's world, I'm sure you'll agree.

1:13:53 > 1:13:58- It certainly is, Miss Scott.- I spend a lot of time hiding the way I look,

1:13:58 > 1:14:02- hoping to be recognised for my ability.- How's it going so far?

1:14:02 > 1:14:08Let me put it this way, if the way I look gets me in the door, God help them when I get through it.

1:14:08 > 1:14:10You're a remarkable woman, Miss Scott.

1:14:12 > 1:14:14Shall we?

1:14:14 > 1:14:16Yeah.

1:14:28 > 1:14:31"Area clear. Bearing 0-4-2 degrees."

1:14:31 > 1:14:34Captain, they bear 0-4-2 degrees.

1:14:34 > 1:14:37Range 1-8-2 miles. Course 1-8-0. Speed 12.

1:14:37 > 1:14:39'Very well. Keep me advised.'

1:14:51 > 1:14:54Laurel, are you all right?

1:14:54 > 1:14:59- I'm Matt Yelland, skipper of this ship...- Thank you for the hospitality

1:14:59 > 1:15:03but I insist that you fly Miss Scott and myself to Pearl immediately.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09- Very well. Lieutenant. - Yes, sir.

1:15:09 > 1:15:13Follow this officer, he'll see that you're fully equipped

1:15:13 > 1:15:18- and then escort you to the hangar deck.- Thank you, Captain. Laurel.

1:15:19 > 1:15:22- Charlie?- Forget about the dog. He'll be all right.

1:15:22 > 1:15:26Wait a minute, Captain. I think you're making a big mistake here.

1:15:26 > 1:15:30That man mysteriously disappeared on December the 7th, 1941.

1:15:30 > 1:15:34That's today. Now, at the present time, he is the front runner

1:15:34 > 1:15:37for the vice-presidential spot on the Democratic ticket in 1944

1:15:37 > 1:15:40and if he survives, he's certain

1:15:40 > 1:15:43to become president when Roosevelt dies in April, 1945.

1:15:43 > 1:15:48Don't you think he'd be safer to stay on this ship with us, for the time being?

1:15:48 > 1:15:52My job is to make decisions here, now,

1:15:52 > 1:15:56not worry about what politician may be in the White House in four years,

1:15:56 > 1:16:02- or 40 years ago!- But, sir...- And I don't like having two civilians on my ship when I'm about to do battle!

1:16:02 > 1:16:07- You've got three civilians.- You're free to go with them if you like.

1:16:17 > 1:16:20Dick...

1:16:21 > 1:16:25Just got enough time to drop them off on a deserted spot on this island.

1:16:25 > 1:16:29- Not Pearl, sir?- Hell, no! It'd be a whole lot safer there.

1:16:29 > 1:16:33We'll equip them to look after themselves till it's over.

1:16:33 > 1:16:36I'll feel a lot easier with them off my hands.

1:16:36 > 1:16:39Yes, sir.

1:16:40 > 1:16:43Dick, be sure you're back by 0700.

1:16:43 > 1:16:47I want my best man commanding that strike force.

1:18:47 > 1:18:52This is the captain. I'm speaking to every man aboard this ship.

1:18:52 > 1:18:55'In the past few hours, many things have happened,

1:18:55 > 1:18:58'but rumours of nuclear attacks

1:18:58 > 1:19:01'and a third world war are totally untrue.

1:19:01 > 1:19:05'We have no reason to believe that any aggression has been taken

1:19:05 > 1:19:09'against our homes and families.

1:19:09 > 1:19:13'I believe that what we have stumbled across is not man-made,

1:19:13 > 1:19:17'but a phenomenon of nature.

1:19:17 > 1:19:20'One that can't be explained.

1:19:20 > 1:19:24'This phenomenon is a storm which the Nimitz went through

1:19:24 > 1:19:26'less than 18 hours ago.

1:19:26 > 1:19:30'The storm has had some effect on time as we know it.

1:19:30 > 1:19:33'It... It created a portal,

1:19:33 > 1:19:36'a door into another era.

1:19:37 > 1:19:41'Today is December the 7th, 1941.

1:19:48 > 1:19:51'We're about to fight a battle that was lost

1:19:51 > 1:19:56'before more of you were born. This time,

1:19:56 > 1:20:01with God's help, it's going to be different.

1:20:01 > 1:20:02Good luck.

1:20:55 > 1:20:59- DOG WHINES - Hey, Charlie.

1:21:00 > 1:21:03Good boy. Where you been hiding?

1:24:05 > 1:24:08I lost it! I lost the helo!

1:24:08 > 1:24:12- What?- I tell you, I lost it. It just disappeared from the scope.

1:24:14 > 1:24:17- What do you mean it disappeared?! - 'That's it.

1:24:17 > 1:24:21- 'One second it was on the scope, the next it was gone.'- Search party?

1:24:23 > 1:24:28- It's too late. Turn the Nimitz into the wind.- Aye aye, Captain.

1:27:14 > 1:27:18I don't believe this. It's starting again!

1:27:18 > 1:27:21Do you think we can outrun it?

1:27:21 > 1:27:24Should we even be trying to outrun it?
