00:02:36,083 --> 00:02:37,415
Winston.
2
00:02:42,375 --> 00:02:43,616
Winston.
3
00:02:48,667 --> 00:02:49,999
Where were you?
4
00:02:52,083 --> 00:02:55,497
Beaches.. always bring it back.
5
00:02:57,875 --> 00:03:00,208
Almost 30 years have gone now.
6
00:03:03,875 --> 00:03:05,832
So many young men.
7
00:03:06,875 --> 00:03:10,039
So much... waste.
8
00:03:16,208 --> 00:03:17,790
It's getting late.
9
00:03:19,875 --> 00:03:21,036
Come on.
10
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:31,333
I mustn't let it happen again.
11
00:04:16,516 --> 00:04:21,348
Subtitled by Clarity.
Previo: Hownds
12
00:04:53,667 --> 00:04:55,033
Winston.
13
00:05:08,875 --> 00:05:11,875
Winston.
14
00:05:13,042 --> 00:05:15,159
- Oh!
- Good God.
15
00:05:15,875 --> 00:05:17,116
Winston!
16
00:05:21,958 --> 00:05:24,792
- I was working.
- You're late.
17
00:05:26,542 --> 00:05:27,783
Burden.
18
00:05:29,667 --> 00:05:31,499
Burden.
19
00:05:32,042 --> 00:05:34,625
Give me a Louis XIII, Smuts.
20
00:05:36,417 --> 00:05:40,707
"For five years
we have asked our men,
21
00:05:40,917 --> 00:05:44,206
"to endure the tribulations of war."
22
00:05:44,417 --> 00:05:48,491
No, no, no...
"The trials of war."
23
00:05:48,708 --> 00:05:52,907
Yes. "For five years
we have asked our men,
24
00:05:53,167 --> 00:05:55,659
"to endure the trials of war."
25
00:05:56,208 --> 00:05:59,497
"Suffering of war."
Yeah, "sufferings of war".
26
00:06:00,908 --> 00:06:02,494
You are ready to go.
27
00:06:03,667 --> 00:06:06,034
Honestly, darling,
I think you will need these.
28
00:06:08,208 --> 00:06:10,450
- Knee-breeches.
- Weren't you allowed to wear the uniform?
29
00:06:10,667 --> 00:06:12,784
- The king will be there.
- Will so the Americans.
30
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,323
His Majesty takes precedence,
even over them.
31
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:18,241
That is the way it is done.
32
00:06:18,458 --> 00:06:21,371
Americans respect military uniforms.
33
00:06:22,625 --> 00:06:26,323
I am choosing between "trials"
and "tribulations".
34
00:06:26,542 --> 00:06:28,124
Do stop adding to them.
35
00:06:35,333 --> 00:06:37,416
This is all gonna go splendidly.
36
00:06:37,917 --> 00:06:40,751
The Cabinet Office has sent you
a new secretary.
37
00:06:40,958 --> 00:06:43,871
- Could you say hello?
- Why do I need a new secretary?
38
00:06:44,083 --> 00:06:46,120
Because you ate the last one.
39
00:06:47,542 --> 00:06:49,829
- Helen Garrett.
- My dear.
40
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,868
Who's envy you to drop to the floor my dear?
I am not royalty.
41
00:06:54,208 --> 00:06:56,325
Sorry, I...
It's such a honor,
42
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:58,408
To meet you, Mr. Churchill, sir.
43
00:06:59,083 --> 00:07:03,032
- My mother and I are huge supporters.
- Ah yes?
44
00:07:03,417 --> 00:07:07,582
Yes. Well, you are the one, sir.
The one who will see us through.
45
00:07:07,792 --> 00:07:09,408
You won't give up on us.
46
00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:17,955
My dear Miss Garrett,
that's why I fight on every day.
47
00:07:18,292 --> 00:07:23,162
And now I must go forth and do just that.
48
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:30,414
- I'll try to reel him in.
- You can try.
49
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:32,707
Miss Garrett.
50
00:07:52,208 --> 00:07:55,781
"The sufferings of war."
No no no. No.
51
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,333
"For five long years"
52
00:07:58,542 --> 00:08:02,866
"and our people have endured
the sufferings of war. "
53
00:08:04,542 --> 00:08:09,287
"The soldiers have born
their burden with pride."
54
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:18,494
"The soldiers have born
their burden with valor."
55
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:21,790
Valor is better than pride.
56
00:08:30,792 --> 00:08:34,240
"The soldiers have born
their burden with valor."
57
00:08:36,167 --> 00:08:38,534
"And pride."
58
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:02,866
Attention!
59
00:09:28,792 --> 00:09:31,159
- Here we go.
- Winston.
60
00:09:31,542 --> 00:09:33,158
General Eisenhower.
61
00:09:33,917 --> 00:09:35,328
Field Marshal Brooke.
62
00:09:35,667 --> 00:09:38,284
- General Montgomery.
- Mr. Churchill.
63
00:09:39,250 --> 00:09:40,786
What a gathering.
64
00:09:41,083 --> 00:09:42,745
Sorry to expose you to the English summer.
65
00:09:42,958 --> 00:09:45,325
- We couldn't risk this meeting in London.
- Just think,
66
00:09:45,542 --> 00:09:47,408
if Hitler were to drop a bomb
on this little patch
67
00:09:47,625 --> 00:09:49,102
he would at one blast...
68
00:09:49,296 --> 00:09:52,280
destroy the entire high command
of the our allied forces.
69
00:09:54,208 --> 00:09:55,824
Let's hope we get through it eh?
70
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:17,616
Thank you.
71
00:10:20,208 --> 00:10:21,324
Sir.
72
00:10:26,375 --> 00:10:29,994
Majesty, gentlemen.
This is our last briefing on..
73
00:10:30,208 --> 00:10:32,575
Operation Overlord -
the assault on the German
74
00:10:32,792 --> 00:10:35,125
Occupying forces in the north of France.
75
00:10:35,792 --> 00:10:38,159
We have only a three day window,
before the tides change
76
00:10:38,375 --> 00:10:40,162
making it impossible to land our crafts.
77
00:10:40,333 --> 00:10:43,997
So it is a great throw of the dice.
But if we win the day,
78
00:10:44,708 --> 00:10:46,620
we'll go a long way toward,
winning the war.
79
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,491
We are in final stages,
80
00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:53,906
but as usual I welcome
any criticism to this plan as it stands.
81
00:10:54,542 --> 00:10:56,454
We must all work together,
to pull this off.
82
00:10:58,542 --> 00:10:59,783
Prime Minister?
83
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,719
This will be the greatest campaign
84
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:08,497
yet mounted by our allied forces.
85
00:11:09,208 --> 00:11:12,280
Operation overlord
would require 200,000 vehicles,
86
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:15,993
a fleet of 7,000 ships,
Swarms of planes..
87
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:19,827
most essentially..
a quarter of a million men.
88
00:11:20,625 --> 00:11:24,448
All this, will be focused,
on one place.
89
00:11:25,417 --> 00:11:28,785
Taking the German army head on.
90
00:11:29,875 --> 00:11:33,789
- That's right.
- No, gentlemen, no.
91
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,708
This plan may be admirable in its bravery.
92
00:11:36,917 --> 00:11:39,409
but in its risk it is
fool hearted.
93
00:11:39,958 --> 00:11:42,871
- Jesus Christ.
- Our own causality estimates predict
94
00:11:43,083 --> 00:11:46,497
that anything up to 160,000
French civilians will be killed.
95
00:11:47,583 --> 00:11:51,497
If overlord fails,
which would all too easily could..
96
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:56,950
We will lose at one strike
most of our war material,
97
00:11:57,208 --> 00:12:00,167
along with tens of thousands
of our own men.
98
00:12:00,917 --> 00:12:04,035
Who then will defend England?
99
00:12:05,042 --> 00:12:08,535
Would you have us do nothing with the
Nazis amassing 20 miles off our shores?
100
00:12:08,792 --> 00:12:11,626
No! I would have us do more!
101
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,618
We must split the advance,
to spread the risk.
102
00:12:15,833 --> 00:12:17,449
- Never.
- Don't you see?
103
00:12:18,083 --> 00:12:21,326
We could tempt
Hitler's forces into the Aegean..
104
00:12:21,542 --> 00:12:24,990
draw his eye away from the coasts of France.
105
00:12:25,208 --> 00:12:28,997
The plans for D-Day
have been in place for over a month.
106
00:12:33,667 --> 00:12:35,750
For five long years
we have asked our men,
107
00:12:35,958 --> 00:12:37,870
to endure the tribulations of war.
108
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,663
They have born their burden
with valor.
109
00:12:42,417 --> 00:12:45,865
But I have seen
Beach landings such as this before
110
00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:47,869
in the first war.
111
00:12:49,042 --> 00:12:52,535
The potential for disaster is too great.
112
00:12:53,417 --> 00:12:56,956
We must not rush in.
We must think
113
00:12:57,250 --> 00:13:00,038
and we must fix this
broken plan,
114
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:02,833
before it ends in tragedy.
115
00:13:08,792 --> 00:13:13,207
Well, that sounds rather if..
116
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:17,122
we are discussing... different
Operations.
117
00:13:17,667 --> 00:13:20,159
Sir, Overlord has been fully prepared.
118
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,708
I would be happy to send you a
detailed plan.
119
00:13:22,917 --> 00:13:25,159
Do that. Thank you.
120
00:13:26,917 --> 00:13:29,000
Excuse me,
Gentlemen, I have...
121
00:13:29,583 --> 00:13:31,540
another ship
to launch.
122
00:13:33,417 --> 00:13:34,703
Your Majesty.
123
00:13:46,083 --> 00:13:47,540
You haven't believed in this all along.
124
00:13:50,292 --> 00:13:53,831
Someone had to speak on behalf
of the ordinary fighting men.
125
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,582
Brooke, could you ride with me?
126
00:14:01,958 --> 00:14:02,914
Bastard.
127
00:14:08,917 --> 00:14:13,491
- Why?
- Oh don't look so shocked smuts.
128
00:14:13,833 --> 00:14:15,699
I just saved the war.
129
00:14:32,917 --> 00:14:35,830
Winston, please.
We must discuss this.
130
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:39,991
Quite right. We must start preparing
changes to the plan immediately.
131
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:44,666
- No, wait!
- No time to wait.
132
00:14:44,875 --> 00:14:47,834
You can't just change everything
over the heads of our allies.
133
00:14:48,042 --> 00:14:51,740
I can! I can!
Weakness doesn't impress Americans.
134
00:14:51,958 --> 00:14:55,122
They respect strength.
135
00:14:55,292 --> 00:14:58,364
There is a difference
between strength and arrogance.
136
00:14:58,583 --> 00:15:00,870
Last time you British
tried to tell them what to do,
137
00:15:01,083 --> 00:15:03,166
- You lost the colonies.
- You forget Smuts,
138
00:15:03,333 --> 00:15:05,871
I am half an American myself.
My dear, late mother
139
00:15:06,083 --> 00:15:08,746
was native of Brooklyn,
New York! No less.
140
00:15:08,958 --> 00:15:11,871
They don't care about your mother.
141
00:15:14,958 --> 00:15:16,324
Good afternoon.
142
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:21,164
We must draw up new plans.
143
00:15:21,417 --> 00:15:23,579
- Briggs, give me the admiral routine.
- Yes, sir.
144
00:15:23,792 --> 00:15:25,829
We must set up a distraction in the Aegean.
145
00:15:26,042 --> 00:15:29,365
Fanshawe, find out,
if General Alexander has reached Rome yet?
146
00:15:29,583 --> 00:15:32,166
He must keep driving the Nazis back.
147
00:15:32,333 --> 00:15:34,450
Miss Garrett,
get combined ops on the phone -
148
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:37,034
someone there who knows about Norway.
149
00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:39,958
We must amass all our
Resources.
150
00:15:40,208 --> 00:15:42,291
This is our chance.
151
00:15:42,542 --> 00:15:45,250
It is time,
to win this war.
152
00:15:46,542 --> 00:15:48,158
Have you finished
being rude about my mother?
153
00:15:48,333 --> 00:15:50,996
- Why are you doing this?
- D...
154
00:15:53,708 --> 00:15:55,995
D-Day will be a disaster, Smuts.
155
00:15:56,250 --> 00:15:57,991
Throwing all those men at one spot..
156
00:15:58,208 --> 00:16:01,042
on a well defended coast line,
teeming with Nazis,
157
00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:03,791
they would be slaughtered.
That's not warfare,
158
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,289
It's butchering.
And I can't let them do that to our men.
159
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:11,414
- Winston-
- Ah, Brookie, I'm glad you are back.
160
00:16:11,625 --> 00:16:14,413
We must talk about this
Plan for Bordeaux.
161
00:16:14,625 --> 00:16:18,574
- Eisenhower wants to see you.
- Good.. Good...
162
00:16:18,917 --> 00:16:22,615
I think of less formal wear, don't you?
163
00:16:28,917 --> 00:16:31,034
- I tried.
- We all have.
164
00:16:31,292 --> 00:16:32,530
You know that there comes a time when
165
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:35,837
even the greatest of the leaders
has gone as far as he can go..
166
00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:37,582
Winston!
167
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:42,124
Attention!
168
00:16:56,292 --> 00:16:58,033
Present arms!
169
00:17:03,667 --> 00:17:05,329
Follow me please, gentlemen.
170
00:17:07,917 --> 00:17:10,534
You will listen to Ike, won't you, Winston?
171
00:17:10,750 --> 00:17:13,367
Yeah, we will listen to each other.
172
00:17:14,375 --> 00:17:16,412
An exchange of views.
173
00:17:26,375 --> 00:17:27,491
Brooke.
174
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:29,949
- Winston.
- Ike.
175
00:17:30,167 --> 00:17:32,375
I'm glad to see you..
176
00:17:32,583 --> 00:17:36,122
I hope we can talk about
the Bordeaux landing site plan.
177
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:38,866
Why don't you seat down?
178
00:17:41,167 --> 00:17:43,875
That was hell of a speech today,
Winston, hell of a speech.
179
00:17:44,125 --> 00:17:45,866
Much needed to be said.
180
00:17:47,250 --> 00:17:51,665
- You should said some of it to me earlier.
- You said yourself "you welcome criticism."
181
00:17:52,667 --> 00:17:55,705
I do.
I welcome any thoughts on..
182
00:17:55,917 --> 00:17:59,206
how to increase
overlord's chances of success,
183
00:17:59,458 --> 00:18:02,075
decrease causalities,
short supply lines..
184
00:18:03,083 --> 00:18:06,076
But start talking about turning it
into a totally different operation,
185
00:18:06,542 --> 00:18:08,329
in front of the men
who have spent months planning it
186
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:10,332
in front of the King of England, well...
187
00:18:13,375 --> 00:18:15,958
That could be seen as... unhelpful.
188
00:18:18,458 --> 00:18:20,074
Un helpful?
189
00:18:22,458 --> 00:18:25,781
you must remember Ike, we fought the Germans
and France before
190
00:18:26,042 --> 00:18:27,658
Even if you break through in Normandy
191
00:18:27,875 --> 00:18:31,448
even with the massive causalities
civilian and military
192
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:34,163
what will our boys face in France?
193
00:18:35,417 --> 00:18:38,125
Another western front? Passchendaele?
194
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:40,871
The Somme? Trench warfare!
195
00:18:41,125 --> 00:18:43,617
Winston, we have an air force.
We have self-propelled artillery,
196
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:46,416
Armored divisions. The age of pushing
infantry to the front is over.
197
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:50,035
Operation Overlord is not the
only way of winning this war.
198
00:18:50,667 --> 00:18:53,330
I should know, I have
seen a great many wars.
199
00:18:53,542 --> 00:18:56,501
Sure.
Some of them in the last century.
200
00:18:57,875 --> 00:19:00,333
- I beg your pardon?
- The war you are talking about,
201
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:03,459
was 30 years ago.
I don't think you truly appreciate
202
00:19:03,667 --> 00:19:05,624
how much things have moved on...
203
00:19:07,417 --> 00:19:10,285
- What is this, Brookie?
- I think it's, Winston..
204
00:19:10,458 --> 00:19:15,283
We don't have the capacity,
to carry out these other plans of yours -
205
00:19:15,458 --> 00:19:18,701
Bordeaux, Italy or... anything else.
206
00:19:19,208 --> 00:19:21,495
All I'm trying to do is win this war.
207
00:19:21,708 --> 00:19:23,791
Is it? I think
you're trying to win the last war.
208
00:19:24,208 --> 00:19:25,824
With the same ideas
and tactics they had then.
209
00:19:26,083 --> 00:19:28,700
They were lessons
we learned in the last war.
210
00:19:29,042 --> 00:19:30,749
I don't want to make the same mistakes.
211
00:19:31,125 --> 00:19:32,922
- Of course.
- And I shall not be stopped..
212
00:19:33,017 --> 00:19:34,210
from speaking my mind.
213
00:19:34,417 --> 00:19:36,283
You are, of course, the Prime Minister.
214
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:39,288
Which is exactly why we can't have you,
trying to disrupt things.
215
00:19:40,042 --> 00:19:42,785
I am imprecisely to disrupt it.
216
00:19:43,708 --> 00:19:47,031
The invasion of France
is a deadly gamble.
217
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:48,536
and must be stopped!
218
00:19:48,750 --> 00:19:50,412
No, sir, you must be stopped!
219
00:19:50,625 --> 00:19:52,332
Look, we're all tired.
220
00:19:53,250 --> 00:19:55,993
You told me yourself, Winston.
You are no longer leaping out of your bed
221
00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:59,121
first thing in the morning,
rarely up before noon.
222
00:19:59,458 --> 00:20:03,202
Perhaps you should vouch your energies
to politics.,
223
00:20:03,375 --> 00:20:06,209
keeping the nation's morale,
that sort of thing.
224
00:20:06,417 --> 00:20:09,330
What? Am I to be a clown
225
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:13,497
entertain the masses while you
send young men to the death?
226
00:20:13,708 --> 00:20:15,950
Winston, we're taking care of it.
227
00:20:16,167 --> 00:20:19,035
I have commissioned alternative plans,
from the forces.
228
00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:21,082
They should be here tomorrow, and then...
229
00:20:21,292 --> 00:20:25,115
The forces are not carrying out your plans.
230
00:20:29,708 --> 00:20:31,415
You counter mandate my orders?
231
00:20:36,833 --> 00:20:38,074
A-and...
232
00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:41,582
You both feel this?
233
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:44,954
You need to let us do the job.
234
00:20:49,792 --> 00:20:54,833
Well, if you excuse me,
I must be on my way back to London.
235
00:20:55,083 --> 00:20:57,245
- I'll come with you.
- I rather you didn't.
236
00:20:58,375 --> 00:21:01,083
I have papers,
that I must look at in the car.
237
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:05,324
Winston.
238
00:21:07,417 --> 00:21:10,160
Thank you for hearing what we had to say.
239
00:21:10,708 --> 00:21:12,825
You are great asset to this country,
240
00:21:13,083 --> 00:21:14,745
to this Ally war effort.
We all know that.
241
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,707
Absolutely.
242
00:21:27,417 --> 00:21:28,749
I am fine.
243
00:21:30,292 --> 00:21:31,624
Very good, sir.
244
00:21:52,125 --> 00:21:57,701
Left, right, left, right,...
245
00:22:02,458 --> 00:22:03,574
Look!
246
00:22:24,125 --> 00:22:26,333
Left, right, left, right...
247
00:23:08,708 --> 00:23:11,496
That would be all.
Yes, thank you.
248
00:23:11,708 --> 00:23:13,244
Oh, Winston.
249
00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:16,616
I'm going to the Russell fund meeting.
250
00:23:17,667 --> 00:23:19,659
Margaret's holding a dinner afterwards.
251
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:23,324
Ike spoke to you, didn't he?
252
00:23:26,417 --> 00:23:30,036
I ran this country and this
War for more than two years,
253
00:23:30,250 --> 00:23:33,163
before these Americans
even turned up.
254
00:23:33,375 --> 00:23:37,494
Yet,
as if my experience, my knowledge of warfare
255
00:23:37,708 --> 00:23:39,495
accounted for nothing..
256
00:23:39,792 --> 00:23:43,115
So Ike has a great deal of
Experience in warfare.
257
00:23:43,417 --> 00:23:44,999
Maybe you should listen to him.
258
00:23:45,208 --> 00:23:48,201
Is everyone to overrule everything I say?
259
00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:51,697
The king appointed me
Prime Minister of this country.
260
00:23:51,917 --> 00:23:55,490
And it's my duty,
to lead them through this war!
261
00:23:55,833 --> 00:23:59,247
Don't you see you aren't the only one
capable of making decisions?
262
00:24:04,667 --> 00:24:06,499
Is this about the war...
263
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:09,537
or is it about you and me?
264
00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:16,327
- Do you want to be cuddled, Winston?
- I would settle for some respect.
265
00:24:16,833 --> 00:24:19,667
Then don't complain,
when someone tells you the truth.
266
00:24:22,292 --> 00:24:23,533
I'll be late.
267
00:24:42,375 --> 00:24:43,707
Bastards.
268
00:25:13,875 --> 00:25:15,366
Where is everybody?
269
00:25:16,875 --> 00:25:19,208
I should think
they're still at breakfast, sir.
270
00:25:22,750 --> 00:25:25,743
I'll be going to the coast today.
I shall need smuts.
271
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,083
Miss Garrett,
take a telegram.
272
00:25:31,458 --> 00:25:32,619
Begins.
273
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,788
To Halifax, British Embassy,
Washington DC.
274
00:25:37,042 --> 00:25:39,625
We celebrate success
of campaign in Italy.
275
00:25:39,833 --> 00:25:44,874
Pushing Nazis back.
Americans must now see need to slice up hard
276
00:25:45,125 --> 00:25:47,242
into soft under belly of Europe.
277
00:25:47,417 --> 00:25:49,955
The amphibious landings,
they plan for Normandy,
278
00:25:50,167 --> 00:25:53,456
must not become a distraction.
I hope you impress this on
279
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:55,875
President when next you meet.
280
00:25:56,125 --> 00:25:59,664
Leaving him in no doubt,
of how a pro fervent enthusiasm
281
00:25:59,875 --> 00:26:02,993
for our American allies.
Ends.
282
00:26:04,917 --> 00:26:06,203
Give me Clop.
283
00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:10,284
Clop! Clop!
284
00:26:12,208 --> 00:26:13,369
Clop.
285
00:26:13,917 --> 00:26:15,078
Clop.
286
00:26:20,833 --> 00:26:22,074
Wow wow.
287
00:26:23,292 --> 00:26:25,705
- Oh. Wow wow.
- What are you doing?
288
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:27,449
Working.
289
00:26:42,292 --> 00:26:45,080
The word I used was pro "fervent",
290
00:26:45,708 --> 00:26:50,078
Miss Garrett, meaning "intense".
According to your draft
291
00:26:50,292 --> 00:26:54,081
I would have our ambassador impress on
President Roosevelt
292
00:26:54,292 --> 00:26:56,705
my perverted enthusiasm..
293
00:26:56,917 --> 00:26:59,297
for our American
Allies.
294
00:27:05,282 --> 00:27:07,383
I'm terribly sorry.
295
00:27:07,583 --> 00:27:09,575
He had rather a tiring day yesterday.
296
00:27:09,792 --> 00:27:12,535
- And I don't take it's over.
- I'm fine.
297
00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:14,457
Good to hear.
298
00:27:19,792 --> 00:27:21,624
Oh was that necessary?
299
00:27:21,833 --> 00:27:23,995
I'm trying to run a country
and a war.
300
00:27:24,208 --> 00:27:25,870
I can't afford mistakes.
301
00:27:26,125 --> 00:27:28,162
- The car is ready, sir.
- Oh thank you, Briggs.
302
00:27:28,417 --> 00:27:31,865
- Why do you need your car?
- I am going inspect Monty's troops.
303
00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:34,662
Has he invited you?
304
00:27:35,375 --> 00:27:38,209
Clemmie, I may
only have a day,
305
00:27:38,375 --> 00:27:41,447
before they launched this show.
The least I can do,
306
00:27:41,667 --> 00:27:45,707
is to give some small words of encouragement
to those young men,
307
00:27:45,917 --> 00:27:48,455
they are sending to die on the beaches.
308
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:52,741
And just remember win, They need
to respect their commanders.
309
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,664
- That isn't your shooting party.
- I am only going to speak.
310
00:27:56,875 --> 00:27:58,867
That's rather what I am afraid of.
311
00:28:07,292 --> 00:28:11,161
No, it looks to me,
312
00:28:11,375 --> 00:28:13,867
that Monty has his numbers wrong.
313
00:28:14,625 --> 00:28:17,618
For all these vehicles
only this many men?
314
00:28:21,875 --> 00:28:24,834
- No, this is right.
- It's far too weak on infantry.
315
00:28:26,917 --> 00:28:28,783
He knows what he is doing.
316
00:28:29,625 --> 00:28:32,948
When you speak to his men,
to keep it short, will you?
317
00:28:34,042 --> 00:28:37,240
Perhaps you could say
something generous about him?
318
00:28:40,917 --> 00:28:42,525
I have had the good fortune
319
00:28:42,725 --> 00:28:46,694
to speak in public
on a few occasions before smuts.
320
00:28:47,333 --> 00:28:49,996
I should think,
I will manage this one.
321
00:29:47,833 --> 00:29:49,825
- Good afternoon gentlemen.
- Monty.
322
00:29:50,083 --> 00:29:52,575
Why don't we take a look around?
323
00:29:55,458 --> 00:29:58,576
- What bloody hell is going on?
- He means to inspect your troops.
324
00:29:58,792 --> 00:30:01,159
- They don't need inspecting.
- You tell him that.
325
00:30:01,375 --> 00:30:02,661
- All right.
- No, wait.
326
00:30:02,875 --> 00:30:05,492
- He needs to feel part of it.
- Oh for Christ sake.
327
00:30:05,708 --> 00:30:07,244
Most of the men have already shipped direct.
328
00:30:07,417 --> 00:30:10,785
Look, can you let him see a few maps
329
00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:14,490
Then I will be able to get him away.
I promise.
330
00:30:15,375 --> 00:30:18,573
- You are serious, aren't you?
- Please...
331
00:30:23,583 --> 00:30:26,326
Prime Minister, if you care to join me.
I'll show you the plans.
332
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:27,741
Oh very good.
333
00:30:28,708 --> 00:30:34,033
The 21st Army Group is splitting to
landing points along the beaches.
334
00:30:34,542 --> 00:30:37,542
Seventh corps to Utah Beach here,
Fifth at Omaha,
335
00:30:39,417 --> 00:30:43,866
the 30th between gold and Juno,
the first Juno and Sword.
336
00:30:46,542 --> 00:30:47,999
How great is the whole distance of
337
00:30:48,208 --> 00:30:51,167
this coast line, Utah to Sword?
338
00:30:51,375 --> 00:30:52,991
About 50 miles.
339
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:57,958
We must attack along the wider front.
340
00:30:59,042 --> 00:31:01,455
If you land them in
pocket such as this
341
00:31:01,667 --> 00:31:04,667
the men will be surrounded
instantly by Germans.
342
00:31:05,542 --> 00:31:07,283
They'll be we cut off, slaughtered.
343
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:09,207
We have the advantage of surprise.
344
00:31:09,375 --> 00:31:11,492
What if they use poison gas on
our men?
345
00:31:11,708 --> 00:31:15,622
- We would retaliate.
- What? Well they could fire it from planes,
346
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:17,244
** across villages.
347
00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:19,579
We would bomb the hell out them
and they know it.
348
00:31:19,833 --> 00:31:21,369
- Are you sure?
- I am so sure,
349
00:31:21,583 --> 00:31:23,540
I am not even letting
my men carry gas masks.
350
00:31:26,375 --> 00:31:27,707
Does he mean that?
351
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,866
Well landing has been planned, Churchill.
352
00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:34,324
- That's the end of the matter, I insist.
- And who are you to insist?
353
00:31:34,542 --> 00:31:37,250
- Oh for Christ sake, Winston.
- Gentlemen, please.
354
00:31:37,708 --> 00:31:41,531
We have this chance!
only one chance,
355
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:44,163
to drive the Nazis back
and liberate Paris!
356
00:31:44,375 --> 00:31:47,209
You will have beaches
chocked with the bodies of
357
00:31:47,375 --> 00:31:49,207
British and American
youths!
358
00:31:49,375 --> 00:31:51,207
We all know,
that warfare has consequences!
359
00:31:51,375 --> 00:31:55,619
Who cares when so many
human lives are at stake?
360
00:31:56,167 --> 00:31:59,581
have you not thought of the cost,
if we go
361
00:31:59,792 --> 00:32:02,034
Have you not thought
of the cost if we don't.
362
00:32:02,333 --> 00:32:05,952
This plan is for slaughter.
363
00:32:11,208 --> 00:32:13,040
The Germans are in position.
364
00:32:14,375 --> 00:32:16,332
They have reserves available.
365
00:32:17,333 --> 00:32:20,826
There will be obstacles,
minefields, unknown hazards.
366
00:32:21,083 --> 00:32:24,781
- Exactly.
- Then we must get the men sing red.
367
00:32:25,792 --> 00:32:29,411
They must be completely on their toes
with absolute faith in the plan.
368
00:32:30,125 --> 00:32:34,665
No one must undermine their confidence,
including you.
369
00:32:36,708 --> 00:32:38,415
- What?
- I heard,
370
00:32:38,625 --> 00:32:41,038
what you said in front of the king and
our allies.
371
00:32:41,333 --> 00:32:43,825
I won't have you to speaking like that
to the men going to those beaches.
372
00:32:44,333 --> 00:32:46,791
I only want to boost up their courage!
373
00:32:47,042 --> 00:32:52,083
And yet the last time you spoke it was all
doubt, and treachery.
374
00:32:56,750 --> 00:33:00,448
- Did he say "treachery"?
- I'm sure he didn't mean that.
375
00:33:00,667 --> 00:33:03,501
That puffed up little shit!
376
00:33:04,792 --> 00:33:07,034
The men won't follow him.
377
00:33:15,167 --> 00:33:17,454
As you can see,
378
00:33:18,167 --> 00:33:20,705
today we have some important visitors,
379
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,116
who can't wish you well.
380
00:33:26,583 --> 00:33:28,074
We're going soon.
381
00:33:29,625 --> 00:33:30,911
Very soon.
382
00:33:32,542 --> 00:33:34,283
You are young all of you.
383
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,583
Many of you have
never been under fire.
384
00:33:39,125 --> 00:33:41,663
And you don't know,
what you are about to go through.
385
00:33:42,875 --> 00:33:45,709
Some of you are fearful.
That's natural.
386
00:33:47,042 --> 00:33:49,125
But, let's band together.
387
00:33:50,208 --> 00:33:54,452
look out for your brother in arms
and they will look out for you.
388
00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:57,995
So let's all get in there,
389
00:33:58,417 --> 00:34:01,581
shoot straight.
smash those bustards.
390
00:34:01,917 --> 00:34:04,660
- Yes sir!
- Get the job done.
391
00:34:04,875 --> 00:34:07,162
- And get back here.
- Let's do it, lads.
392
00:34:07,583 --> 00:34:09,290
And I want you all,
to remember one thing,
393
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:13,915
as you land on those beaches.
What's your most important possession?
394
00:34:24,375 --> 00:34:26,583
- It's Your life.
- Yes! Yes, sir!
395
00:34:26,792 --> 00:34:29,864
- And I am gonna save it for you.
- Yes! Yes!
396
00:34:30,083 --> 00:34:34,327
- Oh yeah! What are we gonna do?
- Get Nazis out! Yeah!
397
00:34:34,542 --> 00:34:37,580
You and I together
will see this thing through!
398
00:34:37,833 --> 00:34:39,665
Yes! Yes, sir!
399
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,866
Just Keep it short and polite.
400
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:48,000
Whatever you do don't
insult anyone
401
00:34:48,208 --> 00:34:49,824
I won't speak.
402
00:34:50,625 --> 00:34:51,866
Won't?
403
00:34:52,125 --> 00:34:55,414
- He said all that's need to be said.
- Good luck.
404
00:34:59,042 --> 00:35:00,374
Well put sir.
405
00:35:02,833 --> 00:35:04,040
Thank you sir.
406
00:35:07,833 --> 00:35:10,416
I might take a strode
into the beach.
407
00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:13,116
Only a minute.
408
00:36:00,667 --> 00:36:04,286
Winston, the car is ready!
409
00:36:26,208 --> 00:36:28,791
He is a gremial dog, that Monty.
410
00:36:29,333 --> 00:36:32,747
But I'd say one thing for him.
He's prepared to fight.
411
00:36:32,917 --> 00:36:35,910
He will go with those men.
He will see action.
412
00:36:36,167 --> 00:36:39,167
- Far too few of our leaders do.
- You did in the last war.
413
00:36:40,875 --> 00:36:42,411
The Western Front.
414
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:47,540
After... after what happened
in the Turkish campaign.
415
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,038
But it isn't right.
it isn't right,
416
00:36:52,417 --> 00:36:55,285
to set out the whole war
in an office in London.
417
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:58,038
Sending thousands of soldiers
into gunfire
418
00:36:58,208 --> 00:37:00,325
- with the flourish of the pen.
- That's the job..
419
00:37:00,542 --> 00:37:03,455
- of a political leader.
- But Monty gets to be a real leader.
420
00:37:03,667 --> 00:37:06,580
I should be on those boats,
at the front with the men!
421
00:37:07,750 --> 00:37:10,037
Get there, even before Monty does.
422
00:37:10,542 --> 00:37:12,454
- I want to tell you a story.
- Must you?
423
00:37:12,708 --> 00:37:16,076
Yes. It's about the end
the Second Boer War,
424
00:37:16,333 --> 00:37:18,165
in which we both saw action.
425
00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:23,367
- Is there a point to this?
- 1902. We, Boer, set lost.
426
00:37:23,583 --> 00:37:25,620
And it felt to me
to meet your lord Kitchener
427
00:37:25,833 --> 00:37:29,406
..make peace.
The other commanders were furious.
428
00:37:29,625 --> 00:37:31,912
I was called a coward.
But I knew,
429
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:36,165
that there was no glory for us
or for me in fighting on..
430
00:37:36,417 --> 00:37:38,830
- We would only damage ourselves..
- Smuts...
431
00:37:39,042 --> 00:37:44,367
Being a great leader
doesn't always mean seizing the glory.
432
00:37:44,750 --> 00:37:46,082
Sometimes you have to accept,
433
00:37:46,333 --> 00:37:48,950
that you cannot lead everything from
of the front.
434
00:37:50,583 --> 00:37:53,326
You and I are like
two old lovebirds,
435
00:37:53,542 --> 00:37:56,865
mooting together on a perch,
but still able to peck.
436
00:37:57,083 --> 00:37:59,621
- I'm not pecking.
- You are pecking..
437
00:38:01,417 --> 00:38:03,329
Eisenhower will listen to me.
438
00:38:04,125 --> 00:38:05,787
He is a man of reason,
a man of integrity.
439
00:38:05,958 --> 00:38:08,792
- A great man, I think.
- Winston, please.
440
00:38:09,583 --> 00:38:12,326
Don't add yourself to his problems.
441
00:38:23,625 --> 00:38:25,457
Well, I want to talk to him.
442
00:38:42,083 --> 00:38:43,824
Where is General Eisenhower?
443
00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:04,787
- Winston.
- Ike.
444
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:07,537
Apologies for the short notice.
445
00:39:07,792 --> 00:39:10,660
I wanted to tell you
about my plans for D-Day.
446
00:39:12,208 --> 00:39:14,291
- Your plans?
- I have arranged a berth myself.
447
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,459
- On HMS Belfast.
- This ship is sailing into battle.
448
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:20,284
I know you and I haven't agreed on
all points of this operation,
449
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:23,789
but surely we must agree on its importance.
450
00:39:24,125 --> 00:39:26,788
The men need to feel,
that the nation is with them.
451
00:39:26,958 --> 00:39:28,449
- So I shall go.
- Is this a joke?
452
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:30,408
- Not in a million.
- But for Christ sake, you can't go.
453
00:39:30,625 --> 00:39:33,493
- Why not?
- Because if you get killed on one of my ships,
454
00:39:33,708 --> 00:39:36,496
- It's my responsibility.
- The HMS Belfast is not one of your ships.
455
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:38,950
- She's one of the kings.
- Let's not split hairs.
456
00:39:39,167 --> 00:39:42,126
I have accepted you
as the supreme commander..
457
00:39:42,375 --> 00:39:45,413
of the British forces
involved in Overlord,
458
00:39:45,625 --> 00:39:48,493
but in the Navy there are 4 of our men
to every one of yours.
459
00:39:48,708 --> 00:39:50,324
- Christ, Winston...
- But you're an American general.
460
00:39:50,542 --> 00:39:53,330
You may not regulate
the compliments of British ships.
461
00:39:53,542 --> 00:39:55,625
I am not trying to regulate
your goddamn sips.
462
00:39:55,833 --> 00:39:58,416
- I am just telling you not to go.
- I'm the Prime Minister
463
00:39:58,625 --> 00:40:01,584
of the United Kingdom.
A minister of defense..
464
00:40:01,792 --> 00:40:04,330
I shall go,
where ever I consider it necessary,
465
00:40:04,542 --> 00:40:07,614
to the discharge of my duty!
You may not tie me down!
466
00:40:07,833 --> 00:40:09,950
- Tie you down?
- I've seen this before,
467
00:40:10,167 --> 00:40:15,037
in the first war. Big men,
fighting from the safety of their armchairs,
468
00:40:15,208 --> 00:40:19,122
..it's no good. Commanders must see
the battlefields for themselves.
469
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,617
You're not a god damn commander!
470
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,538
Is this about Montgomery? You just
trying' to get on the beaches before him?
471
00:40:24,833 --> 00:40:27,371
Of course not.
I didn't even thought of that.
472
00:40:27,583 --> 00:40:30,166
- What if you get shot?
- I've been in wars before.
473
00:40:30,417 --> 00:40:32,659
You are the sitting Prime Minister.
We can't risk your life.
474
00:40:33,583 --> 00:40:37,452
You are asking a quarter of a
young million men to risk their'.
475
00:40:37,667 --> 00:40:40,501
That's their job. It's not yours!
476
00:40:40,750 --> 00:40:46,075
If you want me.. to submit, to this...
unquestionably dangerous plan,
477
00:40:46,333 --> 00:40:49,167
the least you can do is let me,
lead my men into battle.
478
00:40:49,417 --> 00:40:52,160
I will not seat back in London
with my paws crossed.
479
00:40:52,417 --> 00:40:55,990
listening to them being mooned down
by German bullets from the wireless.
480
00:40:56,208 --> 00:40:58,791
I'll go with them.
I shall share their fate.
481
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,959
Don't ask me host your
goddamn amateur theatrics!
482
00:41:02,792 --> 00:41:04,283
There is a war on!
483
00:41:05,208 --> 00:41:07,245
I am not asking you to host anything.
484
00:41:07,958 --> 00:41:11,656
I shall be travelling to France
as the King's Prime Minister,
485
00:41:11,833 --> 00:41:13,290
aboard the King's ship.
486
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,163
And what's more, the
King will be coming with me.
487
00:41:16,417 --> 00:41:17,908
- What?
- His Majesty and I..
488
00:41:18,125 --> 00:41:21,111
..are in complete agreement.
We must be there..
489
00:41:21,375 --> 00:41:25,073
..to lead the men.
And there is nothing you or Monty
490
00:41:25,333 --> 00:41:26,824
can do about it.
491
00:41:41,625 --> 00:41:44,948
I need to speak to No. 10.
We're running out of time.
492
00:42:24,583 --> 00:42:28,702
Winston.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
493
00:42:29,458 --> 00:42:32,292
A man needs a
moment of quite contemplation,
494
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:33,832
before heading into battle.
495
00:42:34,917 --> 00:42:36,283
You must come.
496
00:42:37,917 --> 00:42:39,499
You have a visitor.
497
00:42:49,667 --> 00:42:51,033
Good evening, Winston.
498
00:42:52,167 --> 00:42:53,578
Your Majesty.
499
00:42:54,833 --> 00:42:58,326
I was told,
I might find you here.
500
00:43:00,208 --> 00:43:01,415
I had to..
501
00:43:03,208 --> 00:43:04,449
come over.
502
00:43:06,083 --> 00:43:09,622
It's about... the plan.
503
00:43:11,042 --> 00:43:12,624
to go on the..
504
00:43:16,083 --> 00:43:18,245
- the ship..
- Oh.
505
00:43:20,625 --> 00:43:21,911
We can't.
506
00:43:23,875 --> 00:43:27,111
- I see.
- I know I agreed when...
507
00:43:30,917 --> 00:43:34,081
when you telephoned earlier. It was...
508
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,072
That was rash... of me.
509
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,081
That...
510
00:43:42,042 --> 00:43:43,749
That changes often
511
00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:47,366
at this moment..
512
00:43:48,583 --> 00:43:53,328
could be a serious matter for the Empire.
513
00:43:55,833 --> 00:43:57,449
And Lilibet is...
514
00:43:58,875 --> 00:44:00,332
is only 18.
515
00:44:00,542 --> 00:44:04,536
Such a... determined girl,
516
00:44:04,833 --> 00:44:07,041
but still so very young.
517
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:13,494
So, no, I... I can't go.
518
00:44:14,833 --> 00:44:16,870
And I don't need to say to you,
519
00:44:17,083 --> 00:44:20,997
what you'd mean for the allied
520
00:44:22,875 --> 00:44:26,323
cause if a chance..
521
00:44:27,833 --> 00:44:31,873
a bomb hit you...
remove you from the scene.
522
00:44:33,625 --> 00:44:37,869
Sir, it's...
it's all arranged.
523
00:44:38,708 --> 00:44:42,122
More over the risk is negligible.
524
00:44:42,542 --> 00:44:46,832
Our presence would be an embarrassment,
Winston.
525
00:44:48,833 --> 00:44:51,120
To those responsible..
526
00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:55,332
for the fighting.
527
00:44:58,708 --> 00:45:01,325
Whether we wanted it to be or not.
528
00:45:02,208 --> 00:45:06,953
The right thing to do,
is what normally
529
00:45:07,583 --> 00:45:12,032
falls to those at the top
on such occasions..
530
00:45:13,875 --> 00:45:15,537
to remain at home.
531
00:45:17,208 --> 00:45:18,619
And wait.
532
00:45:22,750 --> 00:45:26,414
I served in the last war,
as you do.
533
00:45:27,917 --> 00:45:30,785
Sailed a ship,
flew a plane.
534
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,162
Bloody hell, that was exciting.
535
00:45:34,833 --> 00:45:37,041
I know this wields you sick.
536
00:45:42,833 --> 00:45:47,453
Everyone thinks they are the
most powerful man in the world.
537
00:45:48,833 --> 00:45:53,407
Until not allowed to do..
anything at all.
538
00:45:55,458 --> 00:46:00,783
My job...
is not to fight,
539
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,583
not to die.
540
00:46:05,125 --> 00:46:09,745
I must...
exist.
541
00:46:11,458 --> 00:46:13,165
And be gracious..
542
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,366
tonight.
543
00:46:17,792 --> 00:46:19,374
Bring hope.
544
00:46:22,333 --> 00:46:25,622
And that is my duty.
545
00:46:28,792 --> 00:46:31,375
And it is yours.. too.
546
00:46:38,625 --> 00:46:40,366
My duty.
547
00:46:41,708 --> 00:46:43,745
Go easy on Ike and Monty.
548
00:46:45,208 --> 00:46:47,791
You mustn't go into war, Winston.
549
00:46:50,208 --> 00:46:52,916
And you must not go to France.
550
00:46:59,792 --> 00:47:00,873
Well?
551
00:47:06,750 --> 00:47:11,290
Sir, you are my king.
552
00:47:12,542 --> 00:47:17,082
And I must do as you command.
553
00:47:26,208 --> 00:47:27,949
The anxiety..
554
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,538
down the coming days would be..
555
00:47:32,083 --> 00:47:35,781
...greatly increased for me if..
556
00:47:37,083 --> 00:47:39,450
..in addition to everything else..
557
00:47:41,208 --> 00:47:46,283
well, was even the slightest risk,
of loosing you.
558
00:47:57,208 --> 00:48:00,701
Yeah. I must be off.
559
00:48:01,083 --> 00:48:02,949
They'll fight for **
if I don't get back soon.
560
00:48:08,167 --> 00:48:09,578
Good night, Winston.
561
00:48:18,750 --> 00:48:21,037
Britain will thank you for it, Winston.
562
00:48:23,083 --> 00:48:25,166
I believe all of us will.
563
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:27,786
Forever.
564
00:48:30,833 --> 00:48:32,290
Majesty.
565
00:49:31,708 --> 00:49:35,122
- Did Ike send him?
- Ike asked me.
566
00:49:37,125 --> 00:49:38,536
I telephoned the palace.
567
00:49:45,833 --> 00:49:48,792
Why, Clemmie? Why?
568
00:49:50,333 --> 00:49:51,665
Couldn't you have talked to me?
569
00:49:53,792 --> 00:49:57,741
When was the last time..
did you actually listened to anybody?
570
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,583
When was the last time that you sat
and had a conversation with me?
571
00:50:03,333 --> 00:50:07,532
Oh I am sorry. I must have been distracted
by this little matter,
572
00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:11,243
trying to win a war.
General Eisenhower sends his wife
573
00:50:11,458 --> 00:50:15,156
long letters every weekend,
even though he's thousands of miles away.
574
00:50:15,750 --> 00:50:18,663
Why don't you marry General Eisenhower?
575
00:50:18,833 --> 00:50:21,075
Perhaps some younger men,
still in his prime.
576
00:50:21,333 --> 00:50:24,531
who everybody seems
to think is a real war hero.
577
00:50:24,958 --> 00:50:28,406
Not some clapped up,
moth-eaten old lions,
578
00:50:28,625 --> 00:50:31,459
whose teeth have been pulled,
so he's not to frighten the ladies.
579
00:50:33,958 --> 00:50:35,790
Try acting like a
Hero, Winston.
580
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,913
And then maybe people will believe
that you are one again.
581
00:50:40,875 --> 00:50:43,709
Why don't you just have me stabbed?
582
00:51:52,958 --> 00:51:54,449
Please take your seats.
583
00:52:04,750 --> 00:52:07,493
Gentlemen, we are here
at this unsocial hour,
584
00:52:07,667 --> 00:52:10,080
to make the greatest decision
of our lives.
585
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,583
The Armada of overlord has began to sail.
586
00:52:13,917 --> 00:52:17,285
This is the last moment,
the last, crucial moment,
587
00:52:17,583 --> 00:52:21,748
in which we must decide whether this
Operation proceed today as planned.
588
00:52:23,583 --> 00:52:25,870
Of course we must consider the
conditions,
589
00:52:26,583 --> 00:52:28,916
wind, rain, tides.
590
00:52:30,792 --> 00:52:34,490
So let's have report.
Troop Captain Stagg, the weather.
591
00:52:38,333 --> 00:52:41,451
Gentlemen, the fears
my colleagues and I have had
592
00:52:41,667 --> 00:52:45,786
with the weather over the next three
or four days have been confirmed.
593
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,619
The sea will be rough.
Winds up to four six.
594
00:52:50,833 --> 00:52:52,620
A lot of low clouds.
595
00:52:53,125 --> 00:52:55,082
We have had a report
from the West Irish station,
596
00:52:55,333 --> 00:52:58,167
that their barometer
is falling rapidly there.
597
00:52:58,667 --> 00:53:00,829
A further depression is heading our way.
598
00:53:01,667 --> 00:53:05,707
Eh-I'm sorry, sir.
It's not a good picture.
599
00:53:06,958 --> 00:53:09,291
General Montgomery,
what do you recommend?
600
00:53:11,208 --> 00:53:13,165
We are there nearly out of time.
601
00:53:13,875 --> 00:53:15,741
I think we must launch now.
602
00:53:17,458 --> 00:53:20,872
- Air chief Marshall?
- I'm afraid I disagree.
603
00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:23,913
These are terrible
conditions for air support.
604
00:53:24,625 --> 00:53:26,332
I don't know how much
I can provide in this weather.
605
00:53:26,542 --> 00:53:28,033
But it won't be much.
606
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,536
Admiral, what do you think?
607
00:53:37,583 --> 00:53:39,575
It's dreadful. I think we must consider
608
00:53:39,750 --> 00:53:43,448
how feasible it is,
to land craft in a storm.
609
00:53:43,667 --> 00:53:46,205
Damn it, Ike. My men
have already sailed.
610
00:53:46,875 --> 00:53:49,037
Admiral, how long do we have,
before the ships will have gone too far,
611
00:53:49,250 --> 00:53:50,582
to call them back?
612
00:53:51,125 --> 00:53:53,492
Perhaps 30 minutes.
613
00:53:57,833 --> 00:54:01,281
There could be another chance
tomorrow. Stagg?
614
00:54:02,250 --> 00:54:07,075
Sir, there may be a short break
in the storms tomorrow morning.
615
00:54:07,333 --> 00:54:10,952
But for the next 24 hours
it will be very hard to say.
616
00:54:14,667 --> 00:54:16,750
Which risk do you prefer to take?
617
00:54:33,875 --> 00:54:35,207
Call them back.
618
00:54:36,958 --> 00:54:38,995
We meet back here tomorrow
at the same time.
619
00:54:39,208 --> 00:54:41,871
Until then pray for good weather.
620
00:54:45,750 --> 00:54:48,948
Ike. You call them back.
621
00:54:50,667 --> 00:54:53,284
This hasn't been planned
with any alternatives.
622
00:54:53,500 --> 00:54:56,117
It has been planned as a victory,
that's what it's going to be.
623
00:54:56,375 --> 00:54:57,323
We are going down there,
624
00:54:57,886 --> 00:55:01,037
we're gonna throw everything we have at it,
and make it a success.
625
00:55:01,792 --> 00:55:04,580
Because frankly,
if we don't win this,
626
00:55:04,750 --> 00:55:07,288
I don't know what kind of
World we will be left with.
627
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:09,537
I wouldn't disagree with you there.
628
00:55:11,208 --> 00:55:12,665
- Thank you.
- Thank you sir.
629
00:55:17,958 --> 00:55:21,372
Till there tomorrow, Churchill.
You can't stop it.
630
00:55:21,958 --> 00:55:23,074
No.
631
00:55:24,625 --> 00:55:26,207
But the weather might.
632
00:55:43,625 --> 00:55:45,211
Brooke is here to bring you up to date,
633
00:55:45,311 --> 00:55:47,108
with everything that has been
happening on the coast.
634
00:55:48,083 --> 00:55:49,745
The General Alexander's forces,
635
00:55:49,958 --> 00:55:52,200
who yesterday took Rome from the Nazi,
636
00:55:52,458 --> 00:55:55,292
shall today go into the greatest
Battle of the war.
637
00:55:55,500 --> 00:55:57,617
The Italian campaign could win it.
638
00:55:57,792 --> 00:56:00,956
The Supreme allied command
is focusing its hope and attention now..
639
00:56:01,167 --> 00:56:04,456
- ...on Operation Overlord.
- There is very little I can do about Overlord..
640
00:56:04,750 --> 00:56:09,040
I have to direct my efforts,
to winning the rest of this war.
641
00:56:10,458 --> 00:56:13,781
I feel like a man chained to the
Chariot of a lunatic.
642
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,913
If we can just make him feel part of it.
643
00:56:17,167 --> 00:56:19,124
The political fellows
are worried about him too!
644
00:56:19,375 --> 00:56:23,289
With the war ends this year, they're saying
he could be a liability as a leader.
645
00:56:23,667 --> 00:56:25,408
Now I know you're fond of him, Smuts.
646
00:56:25,625 --> 00:56:27,662
And so am I,
believe it or not,
647
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,458
But he's testing the limits.
648
00:56:30,667 --> 00:56:34,206
- He's not the man he was.
- When you reach calm waters,
649
00:56:34,458 --> 00:56:38,577
it is easy to forget the captain,
who steered you through the storm.
650
00:56:38,750 --> 00:56:41,538
I haven't forgotten
how great he was in the Blitz,
651
00:56:41,708 --> 00:56:45,201
- But that was four years ago.
- He's still a great man.
652
00:56:45,458 --> 00:56:49,873
End. Bloody fool.
You are all bloody fools.
653
00:56:50,167 --> 00:56:52,750
This is single spaced!
Why is it single spaced?
654
00:56:53,083 --> 00:56:55,075
I'm sorry sir.
Someone must have reset the typewriter.
655
00:56:55,333 --> 00:56:56,619
Well, it must be double spaced.
656
00:56:58,667 --> 00:57:01,410
Why do you waste my time?
You stupid girl!
657
00:57:01,625 --> 00:57:04,868
- I'm sorry, I didn't know.
- Do you realize what I have to do?
658
00:57:05,833 --> 00:57:08,621
I must look after the troops,
keep them safe!
659
00:57:08,833 --> 00:57:12,827
Food, shelter, equipment.
All must be organized!
660
00:57:15,958 --> 00:57:19,622
they will probably send dental chairs
instead of bayonets.
661
00:57:19,833 --> 00:57:24,498
I must focus.
You must focus.
662
00:57:24,667 --> 00:57:25,908
Winston?
663
00:57:26,917 --> 00:57:29,034
Would you come with me for a moment please?
664
00:57:48,917 --> 00:57:50,704
A great man.
665
00:57:52,833 --> 00:57:56,577
I cannot work
if I am surrounded by such incompetence.
666
00:57:57,417 --> 00:58:01,286
I'll show Brooke and Monty,
what it takes to be a real general.
667
00:58:01,542 --> 00:58:04,410
I will show them,
how great men win their wars.
668
00:58:04,625 --> 00:58:07,208
Stop it! Just stop it!
669
00:58:08,458 --> 00:58:11,041
Brooke and Eisenhower and
Monty are fighting this war..
670
00:58:11,250 --> 00:58:12,786
and you just keep getting in their way.
671
00:58:13,042 --> 00:58:15,625
- I am Prime Minister of this country!
- Exactly.
672
00:58:15,833 --> 00:58:18,450
- And minister of defense!
- Don't pull rank,
673
00:58:18,667 --> 00:58:20,283
makes you seem small.
674
00:58:21,583 --> 00:58:23,449
And you don't need any more of that.
675
00:58:25,208 --> 00:58:27,916
Will you stop telling me what to do?
676
00:58:29,958 --> 00:58:31,620
I beg your pardon?
677
00:58:40,208 --> 00:58:42,621
Perhaps it's time
I took some rest.
678
00:58:46,250 --> 00:58:47,616
I would say so.
679
01:00:08,875 --> 01:00:10,411
Dear God.
680
01:00:14,208 --> 01:00:15,574
Oh dear..
681
01:00:23,625 --> 01:00:29,496
Please, please, please,
let it rain tomorrow.
682
01:00:30,583 --> 01:00:32,370
Let it pour.
683
01:00:33,667 --> 01:00:37,741
Let the heavens open..
and a deluge burst for
684
01:00:37,958 --> 01:00:42,407
Such as never have been seen
at the English channel.
685
01:00:44,167 --> 01:00:46,204
Let lightening flash,
686
01:00:47,083 --> 01:00:50,576
Let thunder crash and roll
and bellow
687
01:00:52,208 --> 01:00:55,497
let winds tear up the beaches..
688
01:00:55,667 --> 01:00:59,832
and spin the sand into storms.
689
01:01:01,750 --> 01:01:07,371
Let the sea churns into peaks and troughs
and tidal waves.
690
01:01:08,458 --> 01:01:12,873
Call spirits from the vastly deep..
691
01:01:20,917 --> 01:01:22,078
Please.
692
01:01:24,917 --> 01:01:26,829
Make them call it off
693
01:01:29,833 --> 01:01:34,453
and spare the lives of all those fine
young men on those ships.
694
01:01:35,875 --> 01:01:36,956
Please.
695
01:01:38,625 --> 01:01:41,038
Do not let it happen again.
696
01:02:02,417 --> 01:02:03,533
Amen.
697
01:02:15,708 --> 01:02:16,869
Amen.
698
01:03:21,167 --> 01:03:23,784
Thank you for coming again.
Take your seats.
699
01:03:30,708 --> 01:03:31,994
The weather, please.
700
01:03:35,833 --> 01:03:40,203
Yesterday we predicted that there would
be a short break in the storms this morning.
701
01:03:40,708 --> 01:03:43,746
As of 0400 that holds good.
702
01:03:45,667 --> 01:03:48,705
The cloud cover
2,000 feet stands at 3 tenths,
703
01:03:49,083 --> 01:03:52,576
the wind is between
force three and force four.
704
01:03:54,125 --> 01:03:56,617
You would have a big celebration
if that forecast is accurate.
705
01:03:56,833 --> 01:03:59,291
These conditions could actually work
against the Germans.
706
01:03:59,500 --> 01:04:01,992
They won't be able to get their
reconnaissance planes up at all.
707
01:04:02,625 --> 01:04:04,412
Can the navy gunners
spot in this visibility?
708
01:04:04,875 --> 01:04:06,662
- Yes.
- Monty?
709
01:04:07,417 --> 01:04:09,033
The army is ready.
710
01:04:24,875 --> 01:04:26,616
It's a hell of a risk.
711
01:04:28,417 --> 01:04:30,579
But it's the best possible gamble.
712
01:04:37,625 --> 01:04:38,701
The question is how long can you..
713
01:04:39,001 --> 01:04:41,287
...leave something like this
hanging out there on a limb?
714
01:04:57,417 --> 01:04:58,828
Okay, let's go.
715
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:12,868
Troop Capt. Stagg.
photograph, if you please.
716
01:05:17,833 --> 01:05:18,914
Thank you.
717
01:05:59,500 --> 01:06:00,581
Ike.
718
01:06:02,625 --> 01:06:06,619
You have said that this war
is not like the last war.
719
01:06:07,417 --> 01:06:11,115
But this operation..
720
01:06:12,125 --> 01:06:13,741
very much is.
721
01:06:18,417 --> 01:06:20,625
Men will die tomorrow.
722
01:06:22,208 --> 01:06:28,739
Do not let a single one of them die in vain.
723
01:06:37,458 --> 01:06:38,949
God speed!
724
01:08:15,583 --> 01:08:16,994
They'll go in.
725
01:08:46,708 --> 01:08:48,791
- Holy shit!
- Winston!
726
01:08:52,625 --> 01:08:55,618
- I can't obey this..
- For goodness sake.
727
01:08:55,833 --> 01:08:57,040
I can't..
728
01:08:58,125 --> 01:09:01,618
- I will not tolerate this from you.
- I can't lead this.
729
01:09:02,208 --> 01:09:05,167
- It's murder!
- Sit down.
730
01:09:05,417 --> 01:09:10,037
I will not be able to live the rest
of my if with this on my conscience.
731
01:09:10,667 --> 01:09:12,203
You have no choice.
732
01:09:13,250 --> 01:09:14,370
Do you hear me?
733
01:09:14,694 --> 01:09:17,808
I will not be able to live
the rest of my life..
734
01:09:18,008 --> 01:09:19,411
Is that a threat?
735
01:09:20,250 --> 01:09:22,458
By the time we wake tomorrow,
736
01:09:23,167 --> 01:09:26,786
20,000 young men...
may be dead.
737
01:09:35,958 --> 01:09:37,290
You're drunk.
738
01:09:38,917 --> 01:09:41,910
This is the only thing,
that brings me peace.
739
01:09:43,042 --> 01:09:46,001
Well, it's not working.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
740
01:10:12,417 --> 01:10:14,374
Yes, could you send the maid up
to the breakfast room please?
741
01:10:14,583 --> 01:10:16,370
There has been an accident.
742
01:10:17,125 --> 01:10:20,493
No, everyone is fine.
Just a broken plate.
743
01:10:21,417 --> 01:10:22,828
Yes thank you.
744
01:10:23,208 --> 01:10:27,157
And could you tell Field marshall Smuts,
I would like to see him. Thank you.
745
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:09,207
How is he?
746
01:11:11,125 --> 01:11:12,241
Come on.
747
01:11:28,375 --> 01:11:29,661
Winston?
748
01:11:32,667 --> 01:11:33,908
Winston.
749
01:11:36,750 --> 01:11:39,208
The ships are gathering in the channel.
750
01:11:39,750 --> 01:11:42,413
They set sail at 1700 hours.
751
01:11:43,708 --> 01:11:47,452
I thought I could help you,
prepare your speeches for tomorrow.
752
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,000
- This has happened before?
- A few times.
753
01:12:06,958 --> 01:12:11,373
He gets very low and then he just sticks.
754
01:12:11,875 --> 01:12:14,500
And anything you try to say to cheer him up
just seems to make matters worse.
755
01:12:14,700 --> 01:12:17,325
- Have you called for his doctor?
- His doctor usually just sends him
756
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:19,082
to the country for a couple of weeks.
757
01:12:19,292 --> 01:12:22,364
- He has to address the nation tomorrow.
- I know.
758
01:12:22,917 --> 01:12:24,658
Either to tell them that
we're winning the war.
759
01:12:24,875 --> 01:12:28,539
...or that we have just killed
thousands of people needlessly.
760
01:12:30,250 --> 01:12:31,536
Oh, dear.
761
01:12:33,250 --> 01:12:34,991
Oh dear, oh dear.
762
01:12:36,833 --> 01:12:39,826
- Are you all right?
- Yes of course.
763
01:12:40,833 --> 01:12:42,825
It must be hard for you too.
764
01:12:47,083 --> 01:12:48,870
I wish he'd notice that.
765
01:12:51,292 --> 01:12:53,534
Anyway, we must do our best I suppose.
766
01:12:53,792 --> 01:12:56,500
Why don't you let me talk to him.
767
01:13:31,750 --> 01:13:33,286
I thought, if we came at this together,
768
01:13:33,458 --> 01:13:36,326
we could all help write
your speech for tomorrow.
769
01:13:38,750 --> 01:13:43,074
It's a very important speech, Winston.
Perhaps if you focus on that,
770
01:13:43,292 --> 01:13:46,035
you will be able to summon the energy.
771
01:13:48,750 --> 01:13:50,912
How shall we begin, Miss Garrett?
772
01:13:51,833 --> 01:13:56,624
Uh... ah!
"This is the Prime Minister."
773
01:13:58,750 --> 01:14:01,709
"Overnight the combined allied forces "
774
01:14:01,917 --> 01:14:05,615
"of air, sea and land
began a full assault "
775
01:14:05,833 --> 01:14:09,952
"on the German positions on
the north coast of France. "
776
01:14:10,542 --> 01:14:14,832
"This is the beginning of the
greatest operation of war. "
777
01:14:15,042 --> 01:14:20,037
"It will push the Nazis back
and liberate France. "
778
01:14:20,833 --> 01:14:25,749
"Thousands of brave young men
have landed from a fleet of ships. "
779
01:14:25,958 --> 01:14:30,532
"They have secured the beaches and
pushed the German lines back. "
780
01:14:31,125 --> 01:14:33,788
- You don't know that.
- What?
781
01:14:35,750 --> 01:14:38,333
It's all too familiar, Smuts.
782
01:14:40,042 --> 01:14:41,874
I've seen this before.
783
01:14:43,250 --> 01:14:46,994
Gallipoli... 1915th
784
01:14:47,792 --> 01:14:49,749
Massive amphibious landing.
785
01:14:50,917 --> 01:14:54,706
A head on assault against
the pervly entrenched army.
786
01:14:56,542 --> 01:15:00,365
We had great plans,
for the first Kitchener and I.
787
01:15:00,583 --> 01:15:04,202
- This isn't 1915!
- But the operation was cut back,
788
01:15:04,417 --> 01:15:07,740
petty minded little..
snipping of the commandos.
789
01:15:08,250 --> 01:15:12,540
"Loose a dozen ships here.
Don't send extra divisions. "
790
01:15:12,792 --> 01:15:15,159
"They needn't have so many high explosives."
791
01:15:18,042 --> 01:15:22,207
I tried to stop it.
Oh, God knows I tried.
792
01:15:27,083 --> 01:15:28,540
It was meant...
793
01:15:31,125 --> 01:15:33,287
It was meant to be...
794
01:15:36,292 --> 01:15:38,329
a little job.
795
01:15:46,833 --> 01:15:50,372
We may as well have sent those men
naked on to those beaches.
796
01:15:50,583 --> 01:15:54,031
Warfare has moved on.
Your lessons have been learnt.
797
01:15:54,250 --> 01:15:57,869
A quarter of a million men were
cut down at Gallipoli.
798
01:15:59,125 --> 01:16:03,620
The Empire blamed me.
I was its champion.
799
01:16:04,667 --> 01:16:08,490
But no one blames
me more fiercely than I blame myself.
800
01:16:08,750 --> 01:16:12,323
If that had succeeded,
you would have been celebrated as a hero.
801
01:16:12,500 --> 01:16:14,116
But it failed!
802
01:16:17,167 --> 01:16:22,242
I sent men to die!
Hundreds, thousands of them!
803
01:16:24,042 --> 01:16:26,534
Their blood soaks my hands.
804
01:16:26,792 --> 01:16:30,206
The men do theirs
Duty and we do ours.
805
01:16:30,417 --> 01:16:33,831
- We must live with the guilt.
- But we live,
806
01:16:34,792 --> 01:16:37,079
and still the commanders have not learned.
807
01:16:37,667 --> 01:16:39,954
For they do not care to learn..
808
01:16:40,167 --> 01:16:43,956
They keep away from the battlefield
and do not see the cost.
809
01:16:44,167 --> 01:16:46,625
Eye, shot out by sniper bullets..
810
01:16:47,042 --> 01:16:50,001
legs blown up by mines,
Blood on the sea foam.
811
01:16:50,500 --> 01:16:53,823
That's what the men see.
That's what they face.
812
01:16:54,708 --> 01:16:58,702
Half of those men on those ships
today will be rotting corpses by tomorrow.
813
01:16:58,917 --> 01:17:00,283
That's enough!
814
01:17:01,208 --> 01:17:03,450
My fianc� is on
one of those ships.
815
01:17:07,083 --> 01:17:10,155
I think he is.
He can't tell me exactly.
816
01:17:15,250 --> 01:17:16,786
What's his rank?
817
01:17:21,417 --> 01:17:23,124
He is a midshipman.
818
01:17:24,083 --> 01:17:25,619
Or a destroyer.
819
01:17:29,042 --> 01:17:32,285
Arthur..
Arthur Clayton.
820
01:17:43,875 --> 01:17:45,741
How did you meet?
821
01:17:49,417 --> 01:17:51,249
We grew up together in
Portsmouth.
822
01:17:55,333 --> 01:17:57,450
He says that
he'll take care of me and my mother.
823
01:17:59,583 --> 01:18:01,791
My father was in the first war.
824
01:18:02,833 --> 01:18:07,157
That still with him.
He's not much good work.
825
01:18:10,667 --> 01:18:14,286
Arthur says when he returns
we'll get a cottage by the sea.
826
01:18:15,875 --> 01:18:20,370
Fill it with children...
grow roses around the door.
827
01:18:21,958 --> 01:18:26,749
I want to believe that I won't end up
like my mother and her sisters.
828
01:18:26,958 --> 01:18:30,702
With all their men dead,
or maimed, or shell shocked.
829
01:18:31,875 --> 01:18:34,663
I want to believe,
that he will just be alright.
830
01:18:35,292 --> 01:18:37,830
That he'll just be alright.
831
01:18:38,708 --> 01:18:40,950
I don't want to hear,
that the man I love,
832
01:18:41,167 --> 01:18:43,204
may in a few hours be dead.
833
01:18:46,333 --> 01:18:48,290
And I don't want to hear it from you.
834
01:18:54,250 --> 01:18:56,833
I thought that you were
the bravest man in England.
835
01:19:03,167 --> 01:19:06,167
I'm sorry.
I have no right.
836
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:07,741
No.
837
01:19:11,833 --> 01:19:15,702
You...
have every right.
838
01:19:21,125 --> 01:19:23,833
Come.
Sit down.
839
01:19:29,875 --> 01:19:31,116
Thank you.
840
01:19:40,417 --> 01:19:43,417
I must get dressed.
841
01:20:26,292 --> 01:20:27,999
I need your help.
842
01:20:29,292 --> 01:20:31,033
What are you talking about?
843
01:20:32,250 --> 01:20:33,411
Duty.
844
01:20:41,708 --> 01:20:43,495
Ar.. Are you going?
845
01:20:46,042 --> 01:20:47,624
I can't.. can I?
846
01:20:52,792 --> 01:20:56,832
I know I haven't been fully companion to you
847
01:20:57,708 --> 01:21:00,133
for some while.
848
01:21:00,333 --> 01:21:03,952
This war requires the whole of me.
849
01:21:04,542 --> 01:21:08,456
And it's no easy matter,
being a leader.
850
01:21:09,667 --> 01:21:12,375
It's not that easy,
being married to one either.
851
01:21:13,750 --> 01:21:17,915
I expected to stand behind you
and prop you up whenever you required -
852
01:21:18,750 --> 01:21:22,744
with good humor and
unfailing kindness.
853
01:21:25,417 --> 01:21:27,909
I sometimes wish,
I could live my own life.
854
01:21:30,083 --> 01:21:31,540
Would you do that?
855
01:21:33,458 --> 01:21:36,201
I've had to learn,
to live around your edges.
856
01:21:48,917 --> 01:21:50,624
I often wondered,
857
01:21:51,417 --> 01:21:54,285
if there would be another man.
858
01:21:55,833 --> 01:21:58,905
- Would you care if there were?
- Desperately..
859
01:22:02,958 --> 01:22:05,200
I haven't made you
happy, have I?
860
01:22:06,833 --> 01:22:09,383
You have.
861
01:22:09,583 --> 01:22:11,449
At times you really have..
862
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,286
But now...
863
01:22:15,458 --> 01:22:18,656
Win, I don't know how to help you
864
01:22:18,875 --> 01:22:22,448
if... if you don't understand,
what it is you must to do.
865
01:22:30,619 --> 01:22:31,948
We shouldn't keep them waiting.
866
01:22:34,208 --> 01:22:37,747
No. No, I... I'll go ahead.
867
01:22:52,917 --> 01:22:54,283
- Briggs.
- Sir.
868
01:22:54,458 --> 01:22:56,620
Did you get any word
back from the admiralty?
869
01:22:56,833 --> 01:23:00,952
Yes, sir. Midshipman Arthur Clayton is
on one of the craft heading for Juno beach.
870
01:23:02,333 --> 01:23:04,074
They are at the first wave.
871
01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:08,198
Expecting a lot of German fire, sir.
I'm sorry.
872
01:23:09,708 --> 01:23:11,449
- Thank you, Briggs.
- Sir.
873
01:23:14,417 --> 01:23:16,659
They will be well on their way by now.
874
01:23:18,333 --> 01:23:20,245
So many young men.
875
01:23:21,417 --> 01:23:25,491
Same as in the last war.
Barely more than boys.
876
01:23:26,792 --> 01:23:28,533
They have grown up with this war.
877
01:23:29,333 --> 01:23:30,744
They are brave.
878
01:23:31,875 --> 01:23:34,458
Too young to know how to be afraid.
879
01:23:38,042 --> 01:23:40,159
What will you say tomorrow?
880
01:23:42,542 --> 01:23:45,740
I don't know.
Depends on the news.
881
01:23:46,375 --> 01:23:47,991
No it doesn't.
882
01:23:49,167 --> 01:23:51,910
Whatever happens tonight,
you must give them hope.
883
01:23:53,042 --> 01:23:57,787
Even if 20,000 men are dead,
you can't lead their wives and mothers
884
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,913
and children thinking,
they have died for no reason.
885
01:24:01,583 --> 01:24:05,657
You must stand with them,
make their sacrifice have a purpose.
886
01:24:06,375 --> 01:24:11,621
Make them believe that by God,
they will win this war.
887
01:24:14,417 --> 01:24:16,409
And I'll do it with them.
888
01:24:18,208 --> 01:24:19,449
For that is my duty.
889
01:24:21,500 --> 01:24:22,786
Isn't it?
890
01:24:26,417 --> 01:24:30,081
Would you mind talking to the
woman secretary without me?
891
01:24:31,667 --> 01:24:33,784
I must write that speech.
892
01:24:37,792 --> 01:24:38,908
Clem?
893
01:24:44,375 --> 01:24:46,867
Fighting is what I have always done..
894
01:24:47,958 --> 01:24:50,792
It's the core of who I am.
895
01:24:51,792 --> 01:24:54,864
If I do this,
if I make this speech,
896
01:24:55,083 --> 01:24:56,745
I won't be fighting any more.
897
01:24:58,250 --> 01:24:59,661
No, you won't.
898
01:25:03,792 --> 01:25:05,374
Who will I be,
899
01:25:07,208 --> 01:25:08,824
when it's all over?
900
01:25:10,542 --> 01:25:14,035
If we win or it
ends in disaster?
901
01:25:16,958 --> 01:25:21,328
What will I be,
if I'm no longer fighting?
902
01:25:24,292 --> 01:25:28,115
You will always be the man,
who let us through this.
903
01:25:35,708 --> 01:25:38,325
- Wow, wow.
- Wow, wow.
904
01:25:51,167 --> 01:25:52,453
Miss Garrett!
905
01:26:16,167 --> 01:26:17,283
Sir.
906
01:26:23,833 --> 01:26:26,166
Very good, Miss Garrett.
Thank you.
907
01:26:27,417 --> 01:26:29,909
Winston, news has just come through.
908
01:26:30,125 --> 01:26:31,957
- The landings?
- No, London.
909
01:26:32,167 --> 01:26:34,375
We think the Luftwaffe
will strike the new V-rockets.
910
01:26:34,583 --> 01:26:36,700
We should
prepare the air aid shelter.
911
01:26:37,083 --> 01:26:39,200
Do we have the planes
to shoot them down?
912
01:26:39,417 --> 01:26:42,205
We will try,
but these rockets have no pilots.
913
01:26:42,417 --> 01:26:43,874
Incredibly fast.
914
01:26:44,667 --> 01:26:47,865
If Hitler thinks,
he can break our spirit like this,
915
01:26:48,167 --> 01:26:50,534
he is wrong. Miss Garrett,
916
01:26:51,792 --> 01:26:54,284
I shall need another draft of that speech.
917
01:26:54,458 --> 01:26:56,370
Oh, and by the way...
918
01:27:00,208 --> 01:27:01,744
Thank you, Smuts.
919
01:27:09,458 --> 01:27:14,328
I have received this report on
Midshipman Arthur Clayton.
920
01:27:14,958 --> 01:27:18,907
He landed with the first wave.
They took heavy fire,
921
01:27:19,125 --> 01:27:23,324
but he himself fought with great
courage and saw it through.
922
01:27:23,500 --> 01:27:25,958
He is safe and well.
923
01:27:27,458 --> 01:27:29,165
Oh heavens..
924
01:27:30,208 --> 01:27:34,122
Oh, and if I may...
925
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,083
He sends you his love.
926
01:27:44,958 --> 01:27:47,792
Thank you.. so very much,
Mr. Churchill.
927
01:27:52,875 --> 01:27:55,413
Thank you, Miss Garrett.
928
01:29:32,625 --> 01:29:35,038
This is the Prime Minister speaking.
929
01:29:35,875 --> 01:29:40,540
First the news from the
great operation in France.
930
01:29:41,333 --> 01:29:47,204
This magnificent effort of co-ordinated
air, land and sea...
931
01:29:47,750 --> 01:29:52,040
..has brought the allied forces together
to push the Nazis back
932
01:29:52,292 --> 01:29:55,785
and begin the liberation
of France.
933
01:29:56,458 --> 01:30:00,202
The passage of the sea
has been made with far less loss..
934
01:30:00,417 --> 01:30:03,706
than we apprehended.
The superior bombardment
935
01:30:03,917 --> 01:30:09,037
our ships and planes
quickly reduced the German fire.
936
01:30:10,542 --> 01:30:15,913
General Eisenhower's courage
is equal to all that must be done.
937
01:30:16,708 --> 01:30:22,079
Everything is ready,
as it has never been ready before,
938
01:30:22,542 --> 01:30:27,207
and we are awake
to the tips of our fingers.
939
01:30:27,542 --> 01:30:28,908
It's a good line.
940
01:30:29,625 --> 01:30:33,539
Last night the dangers appeared very great..
941
01:30:33,792 --> 01:30:36,792
This morning we have overcome them.
942
01:30:38,250 --> 01:30:41,698
This great war against
Nazi domination..
943
01:30:42,333 --> 01:30:45,041
is fought by ordinary people,
944
01:30:45,292 --> 01:30:48,615
the soldiers, sailors
and airmen in the field,
945
01:30:48,833 --> 01:30:52,076
and also those at home.
946
01:30:52,708 --> 01:30:56,748
We defy Hitler with our endurance
947
01:30:56,958 --> 01:31:00,622
and our strength of character
and our refusal,
948
01:31:00,833 --> 01:31:03,371
to give in to Tyranny,
and oppression, and the
949
01:31:03,542 --> 01:31:06,285
the darkest evils in history.
950
01:31:09,125 --> 01:31:15,076
This is not a war for glory.
It is a war for freedom.
951
01:31:16,292 --> 01:31:19,205
The Germans will strike back.
952
01:31:20,042 --> 01:31:23,410
We do not know,
where they will hit.
953
01:31:23,625 --> 01:31:28,040
There new flying
bombs have no pilots.
954
01:31:28,458 --> 01:31:33,032
Destruction,
sent forth in a soulless machine.
955
01:31:35,458 --> 01:31:39,657
This is a weapon of cowards,
956
01:31:39,875 --> 01:31:42,663
and cowards cannot win.
957
01:31:42,875 --> 01:31:47,199
We must meet it with valor,
as our soldiers do.
958
01:31:47,500 --> 01:31:50,493
As those brave men
fight on the beaches,
959
01:31:50,667 --> 01:31:54,411
we on the home front
must fight on too.
960
01:31:54,583 --> 01:31:58,532
So that when they return,
covered in glory,
961
01:31:59,292 --> 01:32:02,035
we may share their honor.
962
01:32:03,125 --> 01:32:07,870
Hitler is again,
trying to menace us with fire.
963
01:32:09,125 --> 01:32:14,325
Four years ago he thought he could
break with the blitzs..
964
01:32:15,083 --> 01:32:19,248
He was wrong.
He is wrong again now.
965
01:32:19,750 --> 01:32:22,163
For we do not melt in fire.
966
01:32:22,458 --> 01:32:25,826
We are tampered by fire,
like steel,
967
01:32:26,042 --> 01:32:29,865
and emerge, strong,
and ready to fight.
968
01:32:30,333 --> 01:32:32,541
Hitler has started a fire,
969
01:32:32,750 --> 01:32:35,868
which must burn him out of Europe.
970
01:32:36,750 --> 01:32:39,538
Our troops will fight on...
971
01:32:39,792 --> 01:32:42,535
and the Allies will fight on.
972
01:32:42,792 --> 01:32:45,500
And I shall fight on,
973
01:32:45,667 --> 01:32:48,580
until we are free...
974
01:32:50,333 --> 01:32:53,497
We shall never surrender.
975
01:32:54,542 --> 01:32:59,082
And I shall never surrender.
976
01:33:23,208 --> 01:33:26,497
Oh, how I wish this was Scotch.
977
01:33:32,417 --> 01:33:33,498
Ah.. well.
978
01:34:32,333 --> 01:34:34,916
- Were you listening to the broadcast?
- Of course.
979
01:34:36,917 --> 01:34:38,499
You were wonderful.
980
01:34:42,667 --> 01:34:45,080
I was worried about you yesterday.
981
01:34:46,875 --> 01:34:51,415
You did a.. a really
wonderful thing,
982
01:34:53,042 --> 01:34:55,705
turn yourself around,
recovering.
983
01:34:56,250 --> 01:34:59,322
- I am not sure I've recovered.
- Impression was good enough.
984
01:34:59,542 --> 01:35:01,579
It never quite goes away.
985
01:35:02,083 --> 01:35:05,497
Sometimes the color drains from the
picture and it's all gray and dull...
986
01:35:05,667 --> 01:35:08,705
And I can't force it to change back.
987
01:35:10,958 --> 01:35:12,870
How is it looking now?
988
01:35:15,042 --> 01:35:16,374
A mixture.
989
01:35:18,625 --> 01:35:20,582
But I must live with that.
990
01:35:22,250 --> 01:35:27,917
You know, I think I might go to
Chartwell this weekend,
991
01:35:28,125 --> 01:35:31,448
and spend some time in the country.
992
01:35:33,458 --> 01:35:37,277
- Do a spot of painting.
- That is a very fine idea.
993
01:35:39,125 --> 01:35:42,994
There is a way the sun
hits the lake in the afternoon,
994
01:35:43,250 --> 01:35:44,866
under the willows.
995
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:49,619
Might make for a harmonious view.
996
01:35:51,125 --> 01:35:54,823
- In color?
- Eh um, possible...
997
01:35:58,125 --> 01:36:02,244
- And what about the war?
- Oh, I think,
998
01:36:02,458 --> 01:36:06,452
Eisenhower and Monty have that
well under control. Don't you?
999
01:36:14,958 --> 01:36:17,701
I would understand if you left me.
1000
01:36:19,417 --> 01:36:22,251
I would leave me,
if I could.
1001
01:36:24,833 --> 01:36:27,997
I don't want you to live around my edges..
1002
01:36:30,458 --> 01:36:33,371
But perhaps we should
1003
01:36:34,708 --> 01:36:36,745
just let each other in.
1004
01:36:41,083 --> 01:36:44,952
- But you mustn't keep fighting.
- I have given up fighting.
1005
01:36:45,417 --> 01:36:47,579
Do you really mean that?
1006
01:36:52,292 --> 01:36:57,242
The most important thing in a war,
when you think of it,
1007
01:36:57,500 --> 01:37:01,494
is for people to feel truly unified.
1008
01:37:01,792 --> 01:37:04,500
Inspired, hopeful.
1009
01:37:06,833 --> 01:37:08,950
Maybe I'll write another speech.
1010
01:37:16,833 --> 01:37:19,075
I think I'll walk on for a while.
1011
01:37:22,500 --> 01:37:24,082
Will you be alright?
1012
01:37:26,542 --> 01:37:28,033
I'll manage.
1013
01:39:04,875 --> 01:39:06,110
God Speed.
1014
01:39:06,777 --> 01:39:10,899
Subtitled by Clarity.
