Wax ka sii qor faqradan - MacArthur tallaabadiisii xigtay waxay ahayd inuu ku soo duulo Mindoro
, halkaas oo ay ku yaalliin goobo diyaaradeed oo wanaagsan. Willoughby wuxuu ku qiyaasay, si sax ah sida ay u soo baxday, in jasiiradu ay leedahay kaliya qiyaastii 1,000 difaacayaal Japan ah. Dhibaatada markan ina haysatay waxay ahayd sidii loo gaari lahaa. Kinkaid wuxuu diiday in uu u diro maraakiibta ilaalada ah biyaha xaddidan ee Badda Sulu, Kenneyna ma damaanad qaadi karo in uu dabooli karo hawada dhulka. Howlgalkaasi wuxuu ahaa mid si cad khatar u ah, MacArthur's staff ayaana ka hadley isaga oo ka soo horjeeda in uu ku biiro duulaankii "Nashville". Markii ciidankii soo duulay ay galeen badda Sulu, "kamikaze" ayaa ku dhuftay "Nashville", isagoo dilay 133 qof iyo dhaawaca 190 kale. Injineero u dhashay Australia iyo Mareykanka ayaa laba isbuuc gudahood ka sameeyay seddex garoon diyaaradeed, laakiin maraakiibta sahayda qaada ayaa si isdaba joog ah u weeraray "kamikaze". MacArthur wuxuu la murmay Sutherland, oo caan ku ahaa xanaaqiisa, kadib markii uu ku murmay gabadhii uu jeclaa ee Captain Elaine Clark. MacArthur wuxuu Sutherland ku amray inuusan Clark u keenin Leyte, sababtoo ah ballanqaad shaqsiyeed oo uu u sameeyay Curtin in haweenka Australiyaanka ah ee ka tirsan shaqaalaha GHQ aan loo qaadi doonin Filibiin, laakiin Sutherland ayaa iyaduna keentay si kasta.
