Episode Synopsis

ONCE AN ENEMY - CHAPTER THREEIn this dramatic episode, The I-25 Submarine remains at the bottom of Port Orford Bay as US Navy Ships, Coast Guard Cutters and USAF recon planes play a cat and mouse game with them as the subs oxygen supply rapidly turns stale. Ashore the Army, USFS, and local volunteers scramble to compile data and prepare for whatever might come next. At Los Alamos, New Mexico we introduce the key players of the fledgling top secret facility that has been tasked with the dubious challenge of developing a super weapon that will end the war. We meet J Robert Oppenheimer, General Leslie Groves and the top scientists, physicists and demolition experts as they set out to beat the Germans and Japanese to the atomic punch. They head the Manhattan Project. To them Oppenheimer express the reality that the clock is running. Tagami concocts a daring last-ditch escape plan and sets the sub in motion after firing a torpedo as distraction. Up on the hill atop Mt Emily, site of the Fujita’s first bombing, a small platoon, half civilians, talk around a campfire about their unsolicited situation. As their campfire crackles, all turn to look westward as an ominous explosion breaks the nighttime calm. ONCE AN ENEMY is the story of a Japanese Pilot who dropped four bombs on United States soil following Pearl Harbor and America’s subsequent entry into WW II. Twenty years afterwards he would become and Honorary Citizen of the same seaside community he bombed. Our story tells you why. Thanks for listening, please feel to add your comments to the FB site linked below, or send me an e-mail at [email protected] is Memorial Day, please take a few minutes and reflect upon the sacrifices made by every single courageous member of our Armed Forces who gave all to ensure our liberty and democracy.
