01:00The End
01:30The End
01:35The Honourable George Hill to see you, sir.
01:37Show him in.
01:44Have you seen the news?
01:45I was just reading it.
01:46This will be bad news for China and Great Britain.
01:49Mao Ling and the entire party believe lost.
01:51I suppose it's a state secret, but I'd like to know what's so important about this Mao Ling.
01:55Why, I thought you did know.
01:57He was about to give China the chart of a secret route to India.
02:00A shorter lifeline with much better protection against any possible invasion from the south.
02:05Oh, something the Japs, I imagine, want to prevent.
02:07So you don't suppose they dare shoot that plane down, do you?
02:10Oh, too much chance of discovery.
02:11That would mean war.
02:13Kurusu wouldn't be in Washington if that's the way they feel about it.
02:16Well, if those passengers are still alive, I hope they're not rescued by the Japs.
02:25The American fighter is dead ahead, standing by to pick us up.
02:32Where do they see our Jap prisoners and find out we captured this submarine?
02:36Better than that.
02:37We can use their radio to warn Pearl Harbor that the Japs are planning a surprise attack.
02:40Only the Japs will be surprised.
02:42Well, I certainly hope so.
02:45Stand by to break surface.
02:47Aye, aye, sir.
02:47It is inconceivable that you should have captured this submarine, even after seeing you do it.
02:57We just had a lot of luck, that's all.
03:02Cut your engines.
03:12Hide her port and crash die.
03:14She's going to ruin us.
03:17I don't think there's been much damage done, but who's ever steering that ship ought to be shot.
03:42I think we just raised him, sir.
03:44I'm afraid you're right.
03:47If they come up, fire a shot through them.
04:01Yes, sir.
04:03Speed up your compressors and try to break surface!
04:05There they are, sir.
04:21There they are, sir.
04:27Number two, can't prove!
04:29Hold your fire.
04:31Stand by.
04:31Remove all hands from submarines.
04:33We're okay, they're standing by to take us aboard.
04:38Wing, Tommy, let's get these prisoners out of here.
04:41Ladies first.
04:58Boy, it's good to be back on the immersion ship.
05:00Get underway!
05:01Get underway!
05:04Where's the captain?
05:05Oh, watch.
05:06Comes back at eight belts.
05:07Well, I can't wait that long.
05:08The Japs are starting an undeclared war in the United States as soon as they're in position
05:11to attack Pearl Harbor.
05:13That's a laugh.
05:14No, I mean it.
05:14The Japs sub-captain bragged about it.
05:16We've got to radio Honolulu.
05:17Do not expect us to do anything so foolish.
05:21You see, we are a Japanese sub-tender in route to Honolulu to take part in the action you speak of.
05:30But you're flying the United States flag.
05:31A clever device to avoid detection, don't you think?
05:35It's piracy.
05:37Then we're still prisoners.
05:38Yes.
05:38And I assure you, you will not take this ship as you did the submarine.
05:43Disarm them.
05:46Now, stand by and keep them covered.
05:50That is better.
05:54Now, I want the truth about the Mandarin secret.
05:58If you don't know, don't hold your breath until we tell you.
06:01I suspect it would be difficult to make you talk.
06:08Orientals are notoriously stubborn.
06:15Perhaps one of the ladies would serve best.
06:18I don't know anything about it.
06:19None of us do.
06:20That remains to be seen.
06:22Take them down below until I need them.
06:25This way.
06:31You will remain here.
06:43Let's not waste time.
06:46I am after the secret just as you are.
06:48So?
06:49For whom?
06:51Black Samurai takes its orders from me.
06:53The Black Samurai are Japanese.
06:57But an Axis organization directed from Berlin, not Tokyo.
07:01The Black Samurai takes its orders from me.
07:02Then you are...
07:03Fräulein van Teufel.
07:05My advice to you is to kill Marling without delay.
07:23Now, don't bother trying to escape.
07:26The guards will be posted on the outside and the doors locked.
07:32This is cozy.
07:32Hold everything left, find the light.
07:46Okay.
07:46Here's one.
07:52Here's one.
07:55Here's one.
07:56I wonder what they used this place for.
08:00It must have been some sort of workshop before this old tub was reconditioned.
08:05The sub-tender shop is generally in the stern.
08:08Our American friend has performed miracles.
08:12But this time, I am afraid we are beyond help.
08:16Sooner or later, we must all join our ancestors, Your Excellency.
08:20My orders are.
08:23Not to dispose of the party till I have learned the secret from Marling.
08:27He will never tell it to you.
08:29But if this boat is captured, he will give it to our enemies.
08:32Nevertheless, I have my orders.
08:34You will find it more comfortable on the upper deck
08:37than in the hold with your friends.
08:53I wish I knew how Trudy was making out.
08:56Don't think about it, sis.
08:57It will be our turn soon enough.
08:59We've got to find some way out of here and war and run over.
09:01Oh, forget it, Jack.
09:02We can't always win.
09:03Well, I don't mind losing, but I prefer doing it on my own feet, trying.
09:07Gee, if that stuff wasn't so flimsy, we could make a raft.
09:10That looks like a rubble behind those boxes.
09:11Robbo?
09:12Mm-hmm.
09:13Sure enough.
09:14Yes, but what good is it?
09:15Oh, plenty.
09:16How are we going to get it out here?
09:17There's a loading port right over there.
09:18Yes, sir.
09:19You see it?
09:20Yes, sir.
09:21You see it?
09:22Yes, sir.
09:23You see it?
09:24Yes, sir.
09:25You see it?
09:26Yes, sir.
09:27You see it?
09:28Yes, sir.
09:29You see it?
09:30Yes, sir.
09:31You see it?
09:32Yes, sir.
09:33You see it?
09:34Yes, sir.
09:35Yes, sir.
09:36These seams have sprung a little, but we can caulk those.
09:39Hey, what's this?
09:41An old sail.
09:42Look, Tommy, you and Janet work on that.
09:44We knew helped me caulk the seams.
09:45Right.
09:49We'll get out of here yet.
09:51Do you not find this American's enthusiasm strangely contagious?
09:57I do, sire.
09:59If dignity would permit, I should be tempted to help them in their effort to save us.
10:04There are times when dignity is a doubtful virtue.
10:08Let us try to be of some help.
10:11I'm supposed to be a prisoner.
10:13You better put me with the others before they begin to suspect.
10:15What difference, please?
10:16Even if they know, they will never be able to tell.
10:18I take no chances.
10:20Throw me in with them, and don't be gentle about it.
10:22Make it look real.
10:23My men will be glad to do that for any German.
10:25Someone's unlocking the door.
10:26Someone's unlocking the door.
10:27Someone's unlocking the door.
10:28I'm not a prisoner.
10:29I'm not a prisoner.
10:30I'm not a prisoner.
10:31I'm not a prisoner.
10:32You better put me with the others before they begin to suspect.
10:34What difference, please?
10:35Even if they know, they will never be able to tell.
10:37I take no chances.
10:38Throw me in with them, and don't be gentle about it.
10:40Make it look real.
10:41My men will be glad to do that for any German.
10:52Someone's unlocking the door.
11:07Oh, shoot.
11:08She hit her head when she fell.
11:11She's really out.
11:12I suppose I refuse to believe she didn't know anything.
11:15Well, at least she's in for a pleasant surprise when she comes, too.
11:19I'll take care of her.
11:20Go on.
11:21All right, come on.
11:22Let's go back to work.
11:24Anything, though?
11:25Nothing of importance, sir.
11:38I'll take care of her.
11:39I'll take care of her.
11:40She looks better.
11:41Will she be okay?
11:42Yes.
11:43Except for her headache, she'll be all right.
11:44Good.
11:45Because it'll take all of us to move that boat.
11:46Try and make as little noise as possible.
11:47Okay.
11:48Okay.
11:49Okay.
11:50Come on.
11:51Come on, folks.
11:52Hurry up.
11:53Come on, folks.
11:54Hurry up.
11:55Come on.
11:56I'm coming up.
11:57I don't want to get there.
11:58I'm coming up.
11:59What are you doing?
12:00I said, will she be okay?
12:01Yes, except for a headache she'll be all right.
12:02Good.
12:03Because it'll take all of us to move that boat.
12:04Try and make as little noise as possible.
12:05Come on, folks, hurry up.
12:35Which one of you two is the better saver?
12:42I never sailed a boat in my life.
12:44Okay, Wayne, you stay here with me.
12:45Aren't you coming along?
12:46No, I'm going to stay here and see that this tub is investigated by one of our ships.
12:49How are you going to do it?
12:50You leave that to us. Now, go on, get out of here and hurry.
12:52Righto.
12:53Good luck.
12:59We've got to get a rope or some kind of rig up to the deck.
13:05Let's go.
13:29The flag upside down is the international distress signal.
13:32I get it. Some ship will investigate and find it's a jab.
13:35Right.
13:36I hope no one on board notices it first.
13:54There's a scar plane. I hope he spots our signal.
13:56I believe he has, from the way he's circling us.
14:07Calling SS Starling.
14:09Calling SS Starling.
14:10Answer, please.
14:11Hello?
14:14Wait a minute.
14:15Radio reports. A scout plane calling, sir.
14:17Said he picked up out his stress signal.
14:18Stress signal? What's his stress signal?
14:19I don't know, sir, but he said...
14:20Hmm.
14:22Someone raised that flag wrong side up.
14:23Tell him the captain has a ruptured appendix.
14:25Ask him to land. Take a machine.
14:26Why is he standing there?
14:28Why, no?
14:29Yes, sir.
14:30Hello?
14:32A bell?
14:33We're going to enter.
14:34Radio reports. A scout plane calling, sir.
14:35Said he picked up out his stress signal.
14:36Stress signal? What's his stress signal?
14:37I don't know, sir, but he said.
14:39Someone raised our flag wrong side up.
14:42Tell him the captain has a ruptured appendix.
14:44Ask him to land.
14:46Take him ashore.
14:48When the plane comes down,
14:50blow it out of the water.
14:52Yes, sir.
14:56Did you hear that?
14:58Sure.
15:04Captain of Starling has ruptured appendix.
15:06Captain of Starling has ruptured appendix.
15:08Captain of Starling has ruptured appendix.
15:10No doctor aboard.
15:12Will you please land and rush him to hospital?
15:22This is Starling. Kill your engines.
15:24I'm coming down to pick up Captain.
15:26Here we is.
15:30Hello. Jack Martin speaking.
15:32Just took over radio. No time for details.
15:34Don't land.
15:36And warn Pearl Harbor Japs on way to attack.
15:38Japs attacked Pearl Harbor two hours ago.
15:42Did you hear that, Wayne?
15:44I'm sorry, Jack.
15:46But I'm glad that our country's our allies at last.
15:48Martin speaking again.
15:50Tell Coast artillery to blast this tub right out of the water and hurry.
15:54Say, you thought we couldn't take your ship, huh?
15:56Well, this is one old tub that's not going back to Japan to be decorated for treachery.
16:00Wing, tie up that operator.
16:02C4 calling headquarters.
16:04C4 calling headquarters.
16:06Headquarters, report, please.
16:08Someone on the Starling claims she's a Jap sub-tender flying our flag for combo flies.
16:10Suggest you open fire.
16:12Can't open fire on any vessel flying our flag without more proof she's an enemy.
16:14Could be a trick of Jap stewards to make us sink one of our own ships.
16:16I'm sorry.
16:17I'm sorry.
16:18I'm sorry.
16:19I'm sorry.
16:20I'm sorry.
16:21I'm sorry.
16:22I'm sorry.
16:23I'm sorry.
16:24I'm sorry.
16:25I'm sorry.
16:26The Starling claims she's a Jap sub-tender flying our flag for combo flies.
16:30Suggest you open fire.
16:31Can't open fire on any vessel flying our flag without more proof she's an enemy.
16:35Could be a trick of Jap stewards to make us sink one of our own ships.
16:38Investigate and report.
16:40Get on that phone.
16:42Go on.
16:48All right.
16:49Now tell your bosun to pull down that flag and hoist that Jap rag.
16:56Go on or there'll be one less Jap for the U.S. to hang.
17:06Take that flag off our stern and run up our own.
17:13Watch him wait.
17:18Navy scout plane, are you still listening?
17:21Yes, I'm listening.
17:23Take a look at the Starling's flag now.
17:26We're calling headquarters.
17:27The Starling's flying the Jap flag now.
17:28She is hurt.
17:29Bearings, please.
17:30And stand by for correction.
17:31We're calling headquarters.
17:32We're calling headquarters.
17:33The Starling's flying the Jap flag now.
17:34She is hurt.
17:35Bearings, please.
17:36And stand by for correction.
17:38Bearings, please.
17:39And stand by for correction.
17:40Let's go.
18:10How do you like this?
18:12Oh, committing suicide.
18:14Oh, no.
18:15Just the American version of Japanese harakiri.
18:17Only for a better purpose.
18:40Oh, no.
