- The possibility that what's happening here is real.

some pretty strong evidence sir.

Lets not j ust write off one
possible explanation for it...

- because we don't happen to like it.
- How would that be possible?

- Could you explain that to me?
- No sir I cant.

But all of us know that movement
throug h time is possible. Einstein proved it.

- I n theory.

So all we have to do is move throug h
some storm at sea and bingo -

What sort of storm was that Com mander?
Certainly nothing like I've ever seen.

Nothing like any of us

There are forces in the universe which were

There are black holes in space

Gentlemen.

Captains off the Bridge.

We cant ig nore it
any longer.

Every man on this ship knows that
we have radar and visual contact...

with a Japanese fleet
approaching Pearl Harbor...

on Decem ber 61941.

- Now what do we do about it?
- Skipper

what we do about it
is blow them out of the water.

The U. S. S. N im itz declares war
on the Japanese em pire?

That's what wed be doing .
But they haven't attacked Pearl Harbor yet.

The only evidence we have that they
intend to is in the history books.

It opens up some
amazing possibilities.

Think of the firepower of the U. S. S .
N im itz back in 1941.

What kind of possibilities
M r. Lasky?

Possibilities for the future
M r. Owens.

Think of the history
of the next 40 years.

I have a suspicion history will be
a little more d ifficult to beat...

than you imag ine
M r. Lasky.

I'm talking about
the classic paradox of time.

I mag ine for exam ple I go back in time
to meet my own g randfather

long before he got married
before he had child ren.

We have an arg ument
and I kill him.

Now if that happens
how am I ever gonna be born?

And if I can never be born
how can I go back in history...

and meet
my very own g randfather?

Owens I'm not half the theorist
you are M r. Lasky

but I still have a g ut instinct
that things only happen once.

And if they have happened then theres
nothing we can do to change them

- nor should we try.
- How are you gonna avoid it?

Its already happening
and were already involved.

For Christs sake what is this?
Some half-ass Princeton debating society?

We are in a war situation.

This is a U nited States warship

or at least
it used to be.

Or will be .
Or what the hell ever.

Oh goddam n it you can d rive yourself
crazy trying to think about this stuff.

-Jesus I'm ust be d ream ing
- Now hold it.

All rig ht.
Lets all calm down.

Lets take it one step at a time
and by the book.

If the U nited States of America
falls under attack

our job
is to defend her

in the past present
or future.

- And after that?
- After that we take our orders ...

from the com mander in chief
of the U nited States Armed Forces.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt?

Men Speaking Japanese

Oh hard ly. No I'm a doctor.

I'm sure hell be down to see you

Of course Senator.

So history may be toug her

You're becom ing a real pain
in the ass Lasky.

You take an awful lot of risks for someone
whos supposed to be intelligent.

Do I ? The attack on Pearl Harbor was far
from a surprise for many people

among them the prom inent
and am bitious Sam uel S. Chapman

who had only two weeks before publicly
arg ued for an increase in our strength in the Pacific.

I ronically the senator d isappeared
and was presumed dead ...

following the attack
he had foreseen so clearly.

Had he lived
its very possible ...

Chapman could have been Roosevelts
running mate in the 1944 election ...

and upon his death the next president
of the U nited States.

Now if that doesn't come under the head ing of
trying to beat history I don't know what does.

Lasky I realized who we had
the moment I heard his name.

- Whyd you keep it to yourself?
- I don't have your appetite for playing God.

What was I supposed to do
throw him back in the sea?

At least that would have preserved the natural
order of history as you've written it.

Go to hell Lasky.

Go to hell yourself.
I wanna meet Chapman.

Goddam n it.

If this wasn't happening to me
I would nt believe it.

- Who the hell are these people?
- The navy.

Yeah the navy yeah .
But what part of it?

I've never seen machines
like they got on board this thing.

And where have they been
developing aircraft like that?

The navy would have to
appear before my com m ittee

and I've never even heard
a whisper about it.

Rocket planes and that thing
they pulled us out of the sea with.

That's exactly who.

F. D. R. has wanted the U nited States
in this war since it started

but he knows theres no way its gonna happen
except in response to an attack.

- You always said the Japanese would attack.
- That's rig ht.

And whos sitting out here
with no press ...

while the White House takes all the cred it
for raising the alarm ...

and being ready
to hit back?
