What exactly does he say to Johnson?
I want to make sure that there is no typo in the subtitles?
And what does this mean in this case?

We'd better lie to.
Lie to? I just got her on course.
If we can keep her afloat till dawn, we might make Tulagi.
Shoring is giving way, sir.
Then do we let her drift filling up with seawater?
I'll take some turns off the engines.
No matter what, we won't hold out the sea.
Captain, the lube supply is failing.
The pumps can't overcome the list.
Maybe I will ask the Admiral for a couple of destroyers.
I guess you should.
I'm going below and see for myself.
Ask Griffin for those destroyers.
Tell him we're afire, dead in the water, and down hard by the stern.
Aye, aye, sir.
Griffin, griffin,this is Hawkeye. Over.
The destroyers are on their way, Captain.
Very well.
Prepare to abandon ship.
But, sir - we've done everything we can.
She's not making it.
We better get the wounded off.
Aye, aye, sir.
Now hear this.
All hands, prepare to abandon ship.
Repeat. Prepare to abandon ship.
Captain?
Last of the logs and codes, sir.
Crew is mustered at abandon ship stations.
Count is taken of killed, missing, wounded.
Roster is complete.
As complete as it can be, sir.
Okay, Jim. Abandon ship.
Aye, aye, sir.
Abandon ship.
Abandon ship.
Pass the word forward.
Abandon ship.
After you, sir.
No. Oh, I'm not going down with her.
Couldn't do much for the war under 400 fathoms.
I rounded up volunteers.
If we can keep her afloat till dawn, we might get a towline on her.
I'd like to volunteer.
Some pumps are still working.
If I could counter flood -
Negative, Commander Grigg.
You're needed in the boats.
Aye, aye, sir.
What was that last count?
54, Captain.
Dead or missing.
217 wounded.
We should have hauled ass like the Honolulu.
No, sir. You couldn't have done anything else.
You couldn't let the bastards get off scott-free.
On your way, Jim.
I'll miss Thenora-maru, sir.
Jim.
Here. You take the battle flag.
Fly it on your next command.
Aye, aye, sir.
Go ahead.
Over the side with you.
Those destroyers have started
fishing our men out.
Yeah.
[Explosion]
Chief, she could capsize any minute.
I'm afraid you're right.
Let's abandon ship.
Aye, aye, sir.
Abandon ship.
Let's go!
Abandon ship.
Move it.
Abandon ship.
Captain.
Get moving, chief.
You heard the boss man.
Let's go! Over the side!
Keep it moving.
Steady! Next one.
All right. Cast off.
Aye, aye, sir. Cast off.
Captain.
Captain, she looks like she's starting to go.
Johnson, flag to.
While I agree with Phil and Tony that there is a part in the script "lie to", isn't that before the section/phrase that you actually need. The script I have posted at the end (I cannot be sure of the accuracy) does say "Johnson, flag to." Flag to where?

If it changes anything.
They were just evacuating from a sinking ship,
USS Northampton, and sail towards the USS Honolulu,
who offered help a few hours ago.
