Is that clear?!
710
00:40:14,716 --> 00:40:16,370
Is it?!
711
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:17,676
Yes, sir.
712
00:40:19,373 --> 00:40:22,507
IKE: Who do you think
you are, anyway?
713
00:40:22,550 --> 00:40:24,204
Who?
714
00:40:25,684 --> 00:40:28,948
Ordering my man to stand down?
715
00:40:28,991 --> 00:40:33,213
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?
716
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:38,697
May I respond, sir?
717
00:40:39,915 --> 00:40:41,569
I'm all ears.
718
00:40:44,572 --> 00:40:48,228
As chief meteorological officer,
719
00:40:48,271 --> 00:40:50,273
I take full responsibility
720
00:40:50,317 --> 00:40:52,711
for the recommendation made
at the meeting.
721
00:40:55,235 --> 00:40:59,413
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed
722
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:03,548
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler
723
00:41:03,591 --> 00:41:05,375
if I spoke alone.
724
00:41:05,419 --> 00:41:08,901
Krick's forecasts have saved
725
00:41:08,944 --> 00:41:11,381
thousands of lives.
726
00:41:11,425 --> 00:41:15,690
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?
727
00:41:18,998 --> 00:41:20,739
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.
728
00:41:20,782 --> 00:41:22,480
Good.
729
00:41:23,698 --> 00:41:25,874
I like luck.
730
00:41:25,918 --> 00:41:28,616
Why was he lucky?
731
00:41:28,660 --> 00:41:30,836
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked
732
00:41:30,879 --> 00:41:35,884
with forecasting
stable weather systems.
733
00:41:35,928 --> 00:41:39,192
When patterns are predictable,
then yes, of course,
734
00:41:39,235 --> 00:41:41,499
analog charts can be useful.
735
00:41:41,542 --> 00:41:44,719
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.
736
00:41:44,763 --> 00:41:46,939
- Not once.
- Well, of course he didn't.
737
00:41:46,982 --> 00:41:48,984
He was safe as houses there.
738
00:41:50,246 --> 00:41:52,684
The conditions here, sir...
739
00:41:52,727 --> 00:41:54,381
they're not comparable.
740
00:41:54,424 --> 00:41:56,557
Look at the charts, sir.
741
00:42:01,388 --> 00:42:03,869
Here, there are two--
not one but two--
742
00:42:03,912 --> 00:42:06,872
major storms advancing towards
the Normandy coast
743
00:42:06,915 --> 00:42:08,395
even as we speak.
744
00:42:08,438 --> 00:42:11,050
That's nowhere near France.
745
00:42:11,093 --> 00:42:12,617
No, sir.
746
00:42:13,922 --> 00:42:15,445
Not yet.
747
00:42:22,061 --> 00:42:24,542
I want a forecast
the two of you agree on.
748
00:42:26,369 --> 00:42:27,501
Clear?
749
00:42:28,502 --> 00:42:29,547
Yes, sir.
750
00:42:32,767 --> 00:42:35,074

OPW confirmed full retraction.

Thank you.
752
00:42:36,902 --> 00:42:38,686

754
00:42:52,526 --> 00:42:55,834
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.
755
00:42:55,877 --> 00:42:59,185
Someone downstairs must have
leaked it, I'm afraid.
756
00:43:00,708 --> 00:43:01,970
Okay.
757
00:43:03,058 --> 00:43:05,539
He gets like that sometimes.
758
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:07,280
Just let it wash over you.
759
00:43:07,323 --> 00:43:09,717
He won't even remember
what he said.
760
00:43:09,761 --> 00:43:11,458
That how you deal with him?
761
00:43:12,459 --> 00:43:14,417
Ah, he's nothing.
762
00:43:14,461 --> 00:43:17,159
I was an ambulance driver
during the Blitz.
763
00:43:17,203 --> 00:43:18,683
There were so many dead bodies,
764
00:43:18,726 --> 00:43:20,685
we had to use a cinema
as a morgue.
765
00:43:22,034 --> 00:43:24,993
- You just grow a thick skin.
- Hmm.
766

So, these storms
you keep talking about--

how are you so certain
that they're coming?
778
00:44:21,441 --> 00:44:23,008
I'm not certain.
779
00:44:24,270 --> 00:44:27,316
You can't be certain
about the weather.

All we can do is

traditionally a little boring?

the weather be boring?
