05:03I'd love to go for a walk.
05:05Yeah, of course.
05:08It's silly to wait, since our friends are leaving before the end of the afternoon.
05:13Yeah, immediately.
05:17I'm leaving right now.
05:27Hey, mister.
05:29Yeah?
05:30There's something wrong here.
05:33Wrong?
05:34What do you mean?
05:36Hold on a second.
05:38Did you leave a five or a single for that drink?
05:41A single?
05:43Thanks.
05:44Then you got no change coming.
05:46We're even.
05:50Gee.
05:52I almost beat myself out of four clams on this deal.
05:57Well, how did I get to thinking that that was a five I saw?
06:01Must have been that silly kid yacking about those missiles.
06:06Like he said, though, it's all in the eye.
06:12All in the eye.
06:27Is that the time, friend?
06:45East or west?
06:47In the east, it's early.
06:49Twice and by half.
06:50Number?
06:5121-22, Enterprise, San Diego.
06:54Room three.
06:55Green.
07:16Hello.
07:17Put it through, will you?
07:19Now, this is he.
07:21Right.
07:23Speaking.
07:29Jello.
07:31Getz.
07:33Well, it must be the connection, then.
07:35This is Getz.
07:372225.
07:39Enterprise, San Diego.
07:41Check.
07:43That squadron just came in.
07:45Haas and Bradshaw have been here since dawn.
07:47No, not four. Five.
07:51I got Keema spotted at the entrance.
07:55We'll proceed when a fisherman shows up.
07:57Not yet.
07:59But he'll be here.
08:01Yes.
08:03Everything.
08:05I'm 100% sure of nobody.
08:07But he understands the mission and he's sympathetic.
08:11Don't worry.
08:13They won't shove off without us aboard.
08:15They're under control everything.
08:17Oh, look.
08:19This may be the last time you hear from us.
08:21But unless their security's perfect,
08:23they'll never reach Norfolk in Dak.
08:25You're right.
08:27Right.
08:29You're right.
08:31Now, wait.
08:33You're deeper.
08:35Well, what'd he say?
08:37Yeah.
08:39Oh, he sends his regards.
08:41Is he worried about the fisherman?
08:43No.
08:45He's far away.
08:47When you're far away, you worry about everything.
08:49Well, I'm not vouching for him.
08:51Now, he seems okay, but I'm not vouching for him.
08:53I think he's a rash off.
08:55Nobody's holding you responsible.
08:57So long as that's understood.
08:59A little late, aren't you, Skoda?
09:01It takes top flight logistics to figure out this subway system.
09:03Next time I'll detail a boy scout to show you around.
09:07Get that.
09:09That's a big one, guys.
09:11Really?
09:12That's a big one, Skoda.
09:14It takes top flight logistics to figure out this subway system.
09:19Next time I'll detail a boy scout to show you around.
09:21Get that.
09:31Have power boys.
09:39Let's go.
09:47Captain Jurgensen?
09:48Yes, sir.
09:49Good to see you.
09:50Thank you, sir.
09:52The costume's good.
09:54Costume?
09:56This is my work clothes.
09:58Sorry.
10:00The papers.
10:04Are your boats ready and fueled?
10:05Yes, sir.
10:07Brasheff told you there's no danger in this job.
10:10He's a liar.
10:12Oh, well, I don't mind a little danger if a man's got a chance.
10:16In this kind of a job, you make your own chances, Captain Jurgensen.
10:22I see.
10:24Uh, you think exactly what kind of a job is this thing?
10:30In a word, sabotage.
10:37Time, next morning.
10:48Place, a Navy ship.
10:50Duty, secure the magazines.
10:53We're carrying enough stuff for those missiles in there to knock off half the fleet.
11:04Assistant Gunnery Officer, report to the quarterdeck.
11:07Assistant Gunnery Officer, report to the quarterdeck.
11:10Put a check on the thermometer.
11:11Yes, sir.
11:15Here's Lieutenant Hart, Commander. Assistant Gunnery Officer.
11:18Lieutenant Hart.
11:19I'm Lieutenant Commander Blaine.
11:20Welcome aboard, sir.
11:21Mr. Hart.
11:22Yes, sir.
11:23I've been waiting quite a little while.
11:25I've got this inspection job to do here and time happens to be of the essence.
11:29I know you're pulling out, but it won't take long.
11:31I'm just to check your ordnance inventory and discuss a couple of special arrangements.
11:36This way, Commander.
11:37Hey, you guys.
11:55Come on and get those cans down to the galley.
11:58Bare hands.
12:00And a copy of the off order is the other thing I'll need.
12:10That'll be all?
12:12I'll have to hurry, Mr. Blaine.
12:15Yes, you will, won't you?
12:17It's my compliments, Executive Officer.
12:30I'll be glad to show you, sir.
12:31That won't be necessary.
12:32No trouble, sir.
12:33I can follow directions.
12:34You go down the ladder.
12:35Yes.
12:36And you follow up until you come to the second hatch.
13:00We've got to stash these cans out of the way, remember?
13:10It'll too much.
13:11We've got to find a way to the forward engine run.
13:13He's there by now waiting for us.
13:18This should hold him.
13:19He's a Lieutenant Commander.
13:20Yes, sir.
13:21Naturally, you checked his ID card.
13:23Yes, sir.
13:24He was just transferred from San Pedro.
13:26I see.
13:27Captain, do you know a Lieutenant Commander Blaine from San Pedro, sir?
13:31Blaine?
13:32Yes, sir.
13:33Yeah, I think so.
13:34John Howard Blaine.
13:36Short, thick-set, blonde hair.
13:38Oh, no, sir.
13:39He's about his build and had a scar on his cheek.
13:42Smithbook, you better go with Lieutenant Hart.
13:44In 12 minutes till we get underway.
13:46You've got time for a fast check.
13:47Aye, aye, sir.
13:48Aye, aye, sir.
13:55And he says the base commander called the inspection up to law and purpose.
13:58Why?
13:59It's the security measure.
14:01Security measure?
14:02What kind of security measure?
14:03You'll have to ask him that yourself, sir.
14:12It'll be rather difficult to ask him anything.
14:14Well, he was here when I left.
14:19I don't doubt that, but where is he now?
14:21Well, maybe something happened.
14:23Maybe he went ashore.
14:24Maybe.
14:27Maybe.
14:28Maybe.
14:31I should have got his feet over you.
14:32Yeah, handle him easy.
14:34All right, handle him easy.
14:35That's all.
14:39Lay him down over there.
14:41Lay him down.
14:44Watch his hand.
14:45Yeah, yeah, there he goes.
14:48What goes out of here?
14:51Somebody do something.
14:53Can't you do something?
14:54Get your shirt out.
14:55I mean, take it easy, sir.
14:56Now, what's this all about, McDougall?
14:58Sick man.
14:59Very sick, sir. Heart attack, he says.
15:01Who says?
15:02I say...
15:06Who is he?
15:07My business partner.
15:09And who are you?
15:10Jack Sutherland.
15:18You may not have heard of Sutherland and Bates,
15:20but it happens to be the oldest insurance agency in John Street, Manhattan.
15:24And what's more?
15:25What are you doing aboard this ship?
15:26They come along with me, sir.
15:28How did you get here?
15:29My fishing boat alongside.
15:36We'd have made for town, but Captain Juggerson assured me.
15:38Captain Juggerson?
15:39Yes, sir. I'm a licensed master seaman, sir.
15:42I make my living taking out fishing parties, me and my boat.
15:46You know these men?
15:48Well, I took them out a couple of times,
15:50once last April and then used about a month ago.
15:53They're nice gentlemen.
15:54But they ain't much shakes and fishermen.
15:57I didn't ask you what kind of fishermen they were.
15:59That's right, Juggerson.
16:00That's hardly the point right now.
16:02Now, look here, Mr. Sutherland.
16:03Now, look.
16:04You're no Isaac Walton either, as far as I've been able to say.
16:06Now, wait a minute.
16:07Just because you pay me my rate,
16:08don't mean that you can yell at me.
16:10Now, shut up, Juggerson.
16:11Shut up yourself.
16:12Put down.
16:13Listen up, all of you.
16:14Take him along.
16:16Let Dr. Fenton have a look at him, men.
16:18May I go along, Commander?
16:20Yes.
16:21Show Mr. Sutherland the way, will you, Hart?
16:24Yes, sir.
16:27Now, he's not a friend of yours, too, is he?
16:30Oh, no, sir.
16:31I wouldn't say a close friend.
16:32Well, then you won't mind just sticking around here on deck, then, will you?
16:35Oh, no, sir.
16:36I'd be glad to stay on deck.
16:37I wouldn't think of leaving the deck.
16:41My Google.
16:42Yes, sir.
16:49Did you see Blaine going ashore?
16:50Blaine?
16:51Yes, Blaine.
16:52Well, who's Blaine, sir?
16:53Blaine, the lieutenant commander, the man who came aboard to inspect us.
16:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
16:57He went down the hatchway with Lieutenant Hart, sir.
16:59I know he went down, but did you see him come back up?
17:02No, sir, he hasn't come back yet, sir.
17:04Are you sure?
17:05Yes, sir.
17:06Is he, uh, something wrong?
17:08Is he lost or something, sir?
17:11Yes, MacDougall.
17:13He's lost.
17:15Or something.
17:33You took your time.
17:34We had a little cold with the cans.
17:36Hold on to the edge of the room?
17:37Not yet.
17:38So what do we do now?
17:39Broughtship and Gett should be aboard by now.
17:41You think they made it?
17:42We'll soon find out.
17:43We'll soon find out.
18:13We'll soon find out.
18:14We'll be back with your time, sir.
18:15We'll soon find out.
18:16We'll soon find out.
18:17THE END
18:47It's Gets
18:56Well, gentlemen
19:00Here we are
19:02I'll be back on the bridge in four minutes
19:20I'll be back on the bridge in four minutes
19:32Stick with it, men. We'll alert all hands
19:34Yes
19:34McDougall
19:36McDougall says you're looking for that lieutenant commander, sir
19:38That's right. Do you know where he is?
19:39I know where he went
19:40He asked me to wait for the forward engine room
19:42Engine room?
19:44Let's go
19:44We'll let this go to later
19:51Meanwhile, squad
19:52You get the drinking bar
19:53The evaporators are forward
19:55Right
19:55Teemer?
19:57Glass?
19:57No
19:57Generators
19:58We get the pumps
20:01Pumps
20:02Guided missiles
20:03Thank you
20:04Executive officer
20:17Report to the bridge
20:18Executive officer
20:20Report to the bridge
20:21Stay here
20:22Captain
20:27I'm sorry, sir
20:28But we've got a saboteur aboard the ship
20:30A-7
20:31Yes, sir
20:31We've got six
20:32Sir
20:33It was a call from the pharmacist's mate
20:35Two civilians came aboard from the fishing launch with the captain
20:38Yes, sir
20:39I know about that
20:40We just got a new bulletin on them, Smith Wink
20:43They tied up Lieutenant Hart and Dr. Fenton in the sick bay
20:47And they're very much at large
20:48That makes four
20:50With the two seamen that McDougall saw promenading the deck with garbage cans
20:54We've got a sextet in our midst just three minutes before sailing time
20:57You'd better alert all hands
20:59Yes, sir
20:59Attention all hands
21:03This is the executive officer
21:04There are at least six unidentified men aboard this ship
21:08Two as civilians
21:09Two as civilians
21:11Two as enlisted men
21:13One as a sea captain
21:15One as a sea captain
21:16And one as a lieutenant commander
21:18One as a lieutenant commander
21:41One as a lieutenant commander
21:44Two as a lieutenant commander
21:46One as a lieutenant commander
21:48How's your friend, Mr. Sutherland?
22:18Well, that's the ball game, sir.
22:26All six of them?
22:27Six.
22:27Good.
22:28Yes.
22:32Belay departure until Sincland representative reports of war.
22:36Well, that settles that.
22:37Let's go.
22:39What did you guys do?
22:41Huh?
22:42Come on, open up and talk!
22:44He won't talk.
22:46Tenson!
22:46Are these men talked?
22:48Can't get a word out of them yet, sir.
22:50They're under orders not to talk, Captain.
22:51Orders?
22:52Whose orders?
22:52Sincland.
22:54Captain, I'd like to present to you Lieutenant Getz, Vincent Haas, Chief Petty Officer Skoda,
23:01and Seaman Breschaff and Keemer, and...
23:05Oh, that's Captain Jergesen, sir.
23:07Civilian Seaman.
23:08We felt we needed his help to make the security test more convincing.
23:12These men worked for the Commander-in-Chief Atlantic Fleet.
23:14They were trying to score enough points against your ship to make it ineligible on the upcoming maneuvers.
23:20We have to be unfaltering in our security alertness.
23:23I hope we've all learned something important these past few hours.
23:27No hard feelings.
23:28This is a strange story.
23:44The likes of it is happening at this very moment, not only in Brooklyn, but in many places throughout the country and far-off bases.
23:51Why?
23:53Because security is a paramount issue, and the Navy works against itself in order to test its own security and probe for possible weak spots.
24:02Why again?
24:03So that the unknown enemy will not impair the striking power of this nation before it can go into action, if need be.
24:10Let's go.
