is establish
353
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:01,468
what we already know today,
here and now.
354
00:21:01,551 --> 00:21:06,098
Um, we have
two aggressive storms
355
00:21:06,139 --> 00:21:08,392
stretching themselves
across the Atlantic
356
00:21:08,558 --> 00:21:10,394
from Newfoundland to Normandy.
357
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:12,145
Agreed.
358
00:21:12,187 --> 00:21:14,856
There is an area of
high pressure above the Azores.
359
00:21:15,023 --> 00:21:16,191
That's what interests me.
360
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,277
But it's moving lethargically
and...
361
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:19,611
Your word, not mine.
362
00:21:19,778 --> 00:21:21,738
I'm sorry, would you like
the floor again?
363
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:24,283
Me? No, it's your floor.
Go ahead.
364
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:30,330
We can't just base the forecast
on surface air
365
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:32,749
and, uh, analog charts.
366
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:35,002
We must also consider
the jet stream, which...
367
00:21:35,210 --> 00:21:36,211
The jet stream?
368
00:21:36,336 --> 00:21:37,587
Yes, the jet stream
369
00:21:37,671 --> 00:21:39,298
currently hurtling its way
towards Europe
370
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:40,757
and dragging
both the storms with it,
371
00:21:40,924 --> 00:21:42,134
likely spawning a third storm.
372
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:43,135
That jet stream.
373
00:21:43,343 --> 00:21:44,970
Okay.
374
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:50,350
Which will inevitably mean
stormier conditions
375
00:21:50,475 --> 00:21:53,478
over the next few days--
tomorrow, Sunday, into Monday.
376
00:21:53,603 --> 00:21:56,773
Disastrous conditions
for an invasion.
377
00:21:56,898 --> 00:21:58,483
Okay, thank you so much,
Dr. Stagg.
378
00:21:58,650 --> 00:22:02,654
Now, this is a chart
for June 2, 1925.
379
00:22:02,779 --> 00:22:04,614
Nearly identical conditions
to today.
380
00:22:04,781 --> 00:22:06,158
Same depressions
in the Atlantic,
381
00:22:06,283 --> 00:22:08,076
same high pressures
over the Azores.
382
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:10,120
Move ahead... three days
383
00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:14,583
to June 5, 1925,
D-Day if you will.
384
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:17,544
Calm. Sunny weather.
385
00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:21,381
1925 is entirely irrelevant
to what we're talking about.
386
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:26,386
I could've just as easily picked
June 2, 1904, or 1929.
387
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:28,138
You know as well as I do
388
00:22:28,263 --> 00:22:31,725
that atmospheric conditions
can never be identical ever.
389
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:35,395
What I do know is who nailed
the forecast at Alamein
390
00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:36,897
for the Western Desert campaign,
391
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:39,566
for the Tunisian campaign,
for Operation Torch.
392
00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:42,861

every goddamn time in Cairo.

00:40:22,503 --> 00:40:24,255
Who?
712
00:40:25,673 --> 00:40:28,801
Ordering my man to stand down?
713
00:40:28,968 --> 00:40:33,264
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?
714
00:40:36,517 --> 00:40:38,769
May I respond, sir?
715
00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:41,605
I'm all ears.
716
00:40:44,567 --> 00:40:48,154
As chief meteorological officer,
717
00:40:48,237 --> 00:40:50,156
I take full responsibility
718
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:52,783
for the recommendation made
at the meeting.
719
00:40:55,202 --> 00:40:59,165
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed
720
00:40:59,331 --> 00:41:03,461
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler
721
00:41:03,544 --> 00:41:05,254
if I spoke alone.
722
00:41:05,379 --> 00:41:08,716
Krick's forecasts have saved
723
00:41:08,883 --> 00:41:11,260
thousands of lives.
724
00:41:11,343 --> 00:41:15,764
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?
725
00:41:18,934 --> 00:41:20,644
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.
726
00:41:20,686 --> 00:41:22,480
Good.
727
00:41:23,689 --> 00:41:25,691
I like luck.
728
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:27,651
Why was he lucky?
729
00:41:28,652 --> 00:41:30,654
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked
730
00:41:30,863 --> 00:41:34,658
with forecasting
stable weather systems.
731
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:39,038
When patterns are predictable,
then yes, of course,
732
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:41,332
analog charts can be useful.
733
00:41:41,499 --> 00:41:44,585
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.
734
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:46,754
-Not once.
-Well, of course he didn't.
735
00:41:46,921 --> 00:41:49,006
He was safe as houses there.
736
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:52,593
The conditions here, sir...
737
00:41:52,635 --> 00:41:54,261
they're not comparable.
738
00:41:54,428 --> 00:41:56,639
Look at the charts, sir.
739
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:03,729
Here, there are two--
not one but two--
740
00:42:03,854 --> 00:42:06,732
major storms advancing towards
the Normandy coast
741
00:42:06,857 --> 00:42:08,317
even as we speak.
742
00:42:08,442 --> 00:42:10,986
That's nowhere near France.
743
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:12,696
No, sir.
744
00:42:13,906 --> 00:42:15,491
Not yet.
745
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:24,625
I want a forecast
the two of you agree on.
746
00:42:26,335 --> 00:42:27,545
Clear?
747
00:42:28,379 --> 00:42:29,630
Yes, sir.
748
00:42:32,675 --> 00:42:34,969
KAY:
OPW confirmed full retraction.
749
00:42:35,094 --> 00:42:36,720
IKE:
Thank you.
750
00:42:36,804 --> 00:42:38,722
Not at all, sir.
751
00:42:46,063 --> 00:42:47,398
(sighs)
752
00:42:52,444 --> 00:42:55,614
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.
753
00:42:55,823 --> 00:42:59,243
Someone downstairs must have
leaked it, I'm afraid.
754
00:43:00,619 --> 00:43:02,037
Okay.
755
00:43:02,997 --> 00:43:05,457
He gets like that sometimes.
756
00:43:05,541 --> 00:43:07,084
Just let it wash over you.
757
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:09,587
He won't even remember
what he said.
758
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:11,505
That how you deal with him?
759
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:14,258
Ah, he's nothing.
760
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:17,052
I was an ambulance driver
during the Blitz.
761
00:43:17,177 --> 00:43:18,596
There were so many dead bodies,
762
00:43:18,721 --> 00:43:20,764
we had to use a cinema
as a morgue.
763
00:43:21,932 --> 00:43:25,060
-You just grow a thick skin.
-Hmm.
764
00:43:28,188 --> 00:43:29,898
From ambulance driver
765
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:32,359
to aide
to the supreme commander.
766
00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:34,403
Mm-hmm.
767
00:43:34,486 --> 00:43:37,072
Driver, secretary,
768
00:43:37,197 --> 00:43:39,408
aide, nurse.
769
00:43:39,533 --> 00:43:40,951
Everything, really.
770
00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:46,874
We've been together
for three years now.
771
00:43:48,042 --> 00:43:52,212
I've been to Morocco, Algeria.
772
00:43:57,551 --> 00:43:59,053
Must be exciting.
773
00:44:02,222 --> 00:44:04,433
It has its moments.
774
00:44:13,942 --> 00:44:16,320
So, these storms
you keep talking about--
775
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:19,156
how are you so certain
that they're coming?
776
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:23,077
I'm not certain.
777
00:44:24,161 --> 00:44:26,330
You can't be certain
about the weather.
778
00:44:27,331 --> 00:44:29,750
All we can do is
look to the evidence.
779
00:44:29,875 --> 00:44:35,297
Do you know that weathermen are
traditionally a little boring?
780
00:44:37,257 --> 00:44:40,177
-How dare you say that?
-(laughs)
781
00:44:42,346 --> 00:44:46,016
Weathermen, maybe, but how can
the weather be boring?
782
00:44:47,267 --> 00:44:49,144
It feeds us.
783
00:44:49,269 --> 00:44:51,188
The weather.
784
00:44:52,106 --> 00:44:54,108
Can destroy us.
785
00:44:54,274 --> 00:44:56,652
Controls our daily life.
786
00:44:58,612 --> 00:45:00,531
I don't think that's boring.
787
00:45:05,703 --> 00:45:09,665
People ask, "When will it rain?
When will the sun come out?"
788
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:13,877
But what about,
"Why does it rain?"
789
00:45:16,046 --> 00:45:17,881
"Why does the wind blow?"
790
00:45:19,425 --> 00:45:20,884
"What's the wind?"
791
00:45:23,137 --> 00:45:25,639
(phone ringing)
792
00:45:25,681 --> 00:45:27,599
Excuse me. (clears throat)
793
00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:29,351
Yes. Stagg.
794
00:45:29,476 --> 00:45:30,853
Yes, go ahead. Repeat that.
795
00:45:31,019 --> 00:45:32,229
Zero, zero, one, zero, four...

IKE:
Good news or bad?
802
00:45:52,332 --> 00:45:53,751
We're looking good, sir.
803
00:45:53,917 --> 00:45:55,794
I couldn't disagree
with that more.
804
00:45:55,878 --> 00:45:57,504
We're not looking good at all.
805
00:45:57,671 --> 00:45:59,256
You know what, I am done
806
00:45:59,339 --> 00:46:02,885
with this Scotch pessimism
of yours, this Highland gloom.
807
00:46:03,010 --> 00:46:04,261
I'm not from the Highlands.
808
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:05,804
IRVING:
Well, your Lowland gloom, then.
809

I'm neither from the Highlands

Well, wherever it is he's from,
811
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:11,935
we're in good shape
for Monday, sir.
812
00:46:12,019 --> 00:46:13,479
You see this?
813
00:46:13,687 --> 00:46:15,564
This ridge of high pressure
has already moved in
814
00:46:15,647 --> 00:46:18,984
from the Azores,
just as it did on June 3, 1925.

JAMES:
This is moronic.
816
00:46:21,737 --> 00:46:24,198
This is actually moronic.
817
00:46:24,406 --> 00:46:25,783
Oh, so I'm moronic now?
818
00:46:25,824 --> 00:46:27,242
That's great, Stagg.
That's just great.
819
00:46:27,409 --> 00:46:28,744
Just insult me right to my face.
820
00:46:28,786 --> 00:46:30,329
I'm not insulting you.
I'm just describing you.
821
00:46:30,537 --> 00:46:31,705
As a moron?
822
00:46:31,830 --> 00:46:32,873
IKE:
All right, enough.
823
00:46:32,998 --> 00:46:34,541
As a confident moron, yes.
824
00:46:34,666 --> 00:46:35,959
Oh, go to hell, Stagg.
You come in here,
825
00:46:36,168 --> 00:46:37,461
-you think you're better
than us? -Hey! All right,
826
00:46:37,586 --> 00:46:38,670
all right, all right,
that's enough.

Jesus Christ.
828
00:46:41,381 --> 00:46:43,217
We have three hours.
829
00:46:44,259 --> 00:46:47,805
Three hours until we
take this up with the C-in-Cs.
830
00:46:50,015 --> 00:46:51,600
Now...
831
00:46:52,893 --> 00:46:55,187
...go or not go?
832
00:46:55,270 --> 00:46:56,688
Sir, what we need to consider...
833
00:46:56,772 --> 00:46:58,816
No, no. No, no more considering.
834
00:46:58,857 --> 00:47:00,108
No.
835
00:47:00,317 --> 00:47:03,237
Go or don't go? Go or don't go?
836
00:47:03,362 --> 00:47:04,947
-That's it. Which is it?!
-(phone ringing)
837
00:47:05,030 --> 00:47:06,323
We should go, sir.

Stagg.

ANDREW (quietly): I'm sorry,
we'll have to call you back.
841
00:47:13,580 --> 00:47:14,665
Understood.
842
00:47:15,666 --> 00:47:17,334
Uh, uh, I-I'm sorry, sir.
It's for you.
843
00:47:17,459 --> 00:47:18,961
Not now.
844
00:47:19,127 --> 00:47:20,838
They say it's extremely urgent.
845
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:27,094
Yes. Stagg.
846
00:47:27,261 --> 00:47:29,054
(over phone): Sir, this is
Private Amy Haig from Signals
847
00:47:29,179 --> 00:47:31,431
relaying a message from
the Dunstable Met Office.
848
00:47:31,598 --> 00:47:33,976
Your wife was taken to the
maternity ward of St. Mary's.
849
00:47:34,142 --> 00:47:36,270
-She is pregnant, yes?
-Yes.
850
00:47:36,436 --> 00:47:37,563
Yes, that's correct.
851
00:47:37,688 --> 00:47:38,897
Is the baby here?
852
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:40,524
Have I missed it?
853
00:47:40,691 --> 00:47:42,734
Well, sir,
they felt you should know:
854
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:45,237
St. Mary's Hospital was bombed
earlier tonight.
855
00:47:45,362 --> 00:47:47,948
There have been casualties,
sir, and they're...
856
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:50,367
they're still looking
for your wife.
857
00:47:56,957 --> 00:47:58,792
Group Captain Stagg?
858
00:48:05,841 --> 00:48:07,634
Is there any more information?
859
00:48:07,843 --> 00:48:09,803
Not at this point, sir.
860
00:48:11,138 --> 00:48:12,931
But there's been casualties?
861
00:48:13,056 --> 00:48:14,558
Yes, sir.
862
00:48:22,065 --> 00:48:24,401
Okay. Well, um...
863
00:48:25,861 --> 00:48:28,697
Well, if you have any more...
864
00:48:28,822 --> 00:48:31,116
information,
then let me know-- anything.
865
00:48:31,158 --> 00:48:32,910
Of course, sir.
866
00:48:35,954 --> 00:48:37,414
Thank you.
867
00:48:37,497 --> 00:48:39,249
You're welcome, sir.
868
00:48:42,044 --> 00:48:43,921
IKE:
There a problem, Stagg?
869
00:48:52,846 --> 00:48:55,140
No. It's irrelevant.
870
00:48:55,223 --> 00:48:57,309
IKE:
Good.
871
00:48:57,392 --> 00:48:59,561
So, can I give the order?
872
00:49:01,897 --> 00:49:03,815
What?
873
00:49:03,982 --> 00:49:05,734
The order.
874
00:49:05,859 --> 00:49:07,736
For Monday.
875
00:49:09,321 --> 00:49:10,906
No.
876
00:49:12,491 --> 00:49:13,909
N-No?
877
00:49:13,951 --> 00:49:17,663
I mean, so you're saying
don't give the order?
878
00:49:17,788 --> 00:49:19,873
Is that it?
879
00:49:19,998 --> 00:49:21,959
Yeah, that... Yes.
880
00:49:24,002 --> 00:49:27,631
Yes. I'm saying that...
I'm saying...
881
00:49:27,714 --> 00:49:32,135
that the weather on Monday
will be extremely poor.
882
00:49:34,304 --> 00:49:36,473
IKE: Let me tell you
my problem, Stagg.
883
00:49:38,225 --> 00:49:41,269
Even I can see that
884
00:49:41,478 --> 00:49:45,816
Krick's anticyclone
is on the move,
885
00:49:45,983 --> 00:49:50,487
because it's right here
on the goddamn map.
886
00:49:52,864 --> 00:49:57,411
Now, our final meeting
is at 0400 hours,
887
00:49:57,494 --> 00:50:00,414
and that will be
the absolute last opportunity
888
00:50:00,580 --> 00:50:02,874
to change anything,
889
00:50:03,041 --> 00:50:07,254
so unless you can prove
