00:20:57,486 --> 00:20:59,816
I think what we need to do
is establish

353
00:20:59,851 --> 00:21:02,587
what we already know today,
here and now.

354
00:21:02,622 --> 00:21:07,164
Um, we have
two aggressive storms

355
00:21:07,199 --> 00:21:09,493
stretching themselves
across the Atlantic

356
00:21:09,528 --> 00:21:11,502
from Newfoundland to Normandy.

357
00:21:11,537 --> 00:21:13,194
Agreed.

358
00:21:13,229 --> 00:21:15,938
There is an area of
high pressure above the Azores.

359
00:21:15,973 --> 00:21:17,338
That's what interests me.

360
00:21:17,373 --> 00:21:19,369
But it's moving lethargically
and...

361
00:21:19,405 --> 00:21:20,704
Your word, not mine.

362
00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:22,771
I'm sorry, would you like
the floor again?

363
00:21:22,806 --> 00:21:25,239
Me? No, it's your floor.
Go ahead.

364
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,382
We can't just base the forecast
on surface air

365
00:21:31,417 --> 00:21:33,817
and, uh, analog charts.

366
00:21:33,853 --> 00:21:36,122
We must also consider
the jet stream, which...

367
00:21:36,157 --> 00:21:37,255
The jet stream?

368
00:21:37,291 --> 00:21:38,723
Yes, the jet stream

369
00:21:38,758 --> 00:21:40,361
currently hurtling its way
towards Europe

370
00:21:40,396 --> 00:21:41,855
and dragging
both the storms with it,

371
00:21:41,890 --> 00:21:43,194
likely spawning a third storm.

372
00:21:43,230 --> 00:21:44,260
That jet stream.

373
00:21:44,295 --> 00:21:45,930
Okay.

374
00:21:48,736 --> 00:21:51,474
Which will inevitably mean
stormier conditions

375
00:21:51,509 --> 00:21:54,540
over the next few days--
tomorrow, Sunday, into Monday.

376
00:21:54,575 --> 00:21:57,905
Disastrous conditions
for an invasion.

377
00:21:57,941 --> 00:21:59,644
Okay, thank you so much,
Dr. Stagg.

378
00:21:59,679 --> 00:22:03,681
Now, this is a chart
for June 2, 1925.

379
00:22:03,716 --> 00:22:05,714
Nearly identical conditions
to today.

380
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:07,223
Same depressions
in the Atlantic,

381
00:22:07,258 --> 00:22:09,222
same high pressures
over the Azores.

382
00:22:09,257 --> 00:22:11,259
Move ahead... three days

383
00:22:11,295 --> 00:22:15,623
to June 5, 1925,
D-Day if you will.

384
00:22:15,659 --> 00:22:19,503
Calm. Sunny weather.

385
00:22:19,538 --> 00:22:22,439
1925 is entirely irrelevant
to what we're talking about.

386
00:22:22,474 --> 00:22:27,438
I could've just as easily picked
June 2, 1904, or 1929.

387
00:22:27,473 --> 00:22:29,271
You know as well as I do

388
00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:32,845
that atmospheric conditions
can never be identical ever.

389
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,481
What I do know is who nailed
the forecast at Alamein

390
00:22:36,516 --> 00:22:38,080
for the Western Desert campaign,

391
00:22:38,115 --> 00:22:40,688
for the Tunisian campaign,
for Operation Torch.

392
00:22:40,723 --> 00:22:44,018
I know who got it right
every goddamn time in Cairo.

393
00:22:44,053 --> 00:22:47,024

Yes, sir.

710
00:40:20,284 --> 00:40:23,476
IKE: Who do you think
you are, anyway?

711
00:40:23,512 --> 00:40:25,147
Who?

712
00:40:26,618 --> 00:40:29,887
Ordering my man to stand down?

713
00:40:29,922 --> 00:40:34,189
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?

714
00:40:37,562 --> 00:40:39,700
May I respond, sir?

715
00:40:40,872 --> 00:40:42,571
I'm all ears.

716
00:40:45,538 --> 00:40:49,209
As chief meteorological officer,

717
00:40:49,245 --> 00:40:51,204
I take full responsibility

718
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,714
for the recommendation made
at the meeting.

719
00:40:56,148 --> 00:41:00,346
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed

720
00:41:00,381 --> 00:41:04,520
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler

721
00:41:04,555 --> 00:41:06,359
if I spoke alone.

722
00:41:06,394 --> 00:41:09,855
Krick's forecasts have saved

723
00:41:09,891 --> 00:41:12,291
thousands of lives.

724
00:41:12,326 --> 00:41:16,671
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?

725
00:41:19,938 --> 00:41:21,711
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.

726
00:41:21,746 --> 00:41:23,436
Good.

727
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,806
I like luck.

728
00:41:26,841 --> 00:41:28,617
Why was he lucky?

729
00:41:29,618 --> 00:41:31,782
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked

730
00:41:31,818 --> 00:41:35,690
with forecasting
stable weather systems.

731
00:41:36,858 --> 00:41:40,129
When patterns are predictable,
then yes, of course,

732
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,430
analog charts can be useful.

733
00:41:42,465 --> 00:41:45,664
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.

734
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:47,895
-Not once.
-Well, of course he didn't.

735
00:41:47,930 --> 00:41:49,968
He was safe as houses there.

736
00:41:51,175 --> 00:41:53,636
The conditions here, sir...

737
00:41:53,671 --> 00:41:55,341
they're not comparable.

738
00:41:55,376 --> 00:41:57,547
Look at the charts, sir.

739
00:42:02,310 --> 00:42:04,817
Here, there are two--
not one but two--

740
00:42:04,853 --> 00:42:07,814
major storms advancing towards
the Normandy coast

741
00:42:07,849 --> 00:42:09,356
even as we speak.

742
00:42:09,391 --> 00:42:12,025
That's nowhere near France.

743
00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:13,629
No, sir.

744
00:42:14,898 --> 00:42:16,390
Not yet.

745
00:42:23,001 --> 00:42:25,542
I want a forecast
the two of you agree on.

746
00:42:27,339 --> 00:42:28,468
Clear?

747
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,547
Yes, sir.

748
00:42:33,714 --> 00:42:36,018
KAY:
OPW confirmed full retraction.

749
00:42:36,053 --> 00:42:37,810
IKE:
Thank you.

750
00:42:37,846 --> 00:42:39,688
Not at all, sir.

751
00:42:47,029 --> 00:42:48,356
(sighs)

752
00:42:53,428 --> 00:42:56,738
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.

753
00:42:56,773 --> 00:43:00,170
Someone downstairs must have
leaked it, I'm afraid.

754
00:43:01,670 --> 00:43:02,942
Okay.

755
00:43:03,973 --> 00:43:06,511
He gets like that sometimes.

756
00:43:06,547 --> 00:43:08,208
Just let it wash over you.

757
00:43:08,243 --> 00:43:10,681
He won't even remember
what he said.

758
00:43:10,716 --> 00:43:12,413
That how you deal with him?

759
00:43:13,420 --> 00:43:15,348
Ah, he's nothing.

760
00:43:15,383 --> 00:43:18,084
I was an ambulance driver
during the Blitz.

761
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,659
There were so many dead bodies,

762
00:43:19,694 --> 00:43:21,697
we had to use a cinema
as a morgue.

763
00:43:22,961 --> 00:43:25,965
-You just grow a thick skin.
-Hmm.

764
00:43:29,140 --> 00:43:30,933
From ambulance driver

765
00:43:30,969 --> 00:43:33,436
to aide
to the supreme commander.

766
00:43:33,471 --> 00:43:35,506
Mm-hmm.

767
00:43:35,541 --> 00:43:38,178
Driver, secretary,

768
00:43:38,213 --> 00:43:40,445
aide, nurse.

769
00:43:40,481 --> 00:43:41,882
Everything, really.

770
00:43:44,819 --> 00:43:47,789
We've been together
for three years now.

771
00:43:48,985 --> 00:43:53,124
I've been to Morocco, Algeria.

772
00:43:58,498 --> 00:43:59,966
Must be exciting.

773
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,334
It has its moments.

774
00:44:14,881 --> 00:44:17,410
So, these storms
you keep talking about--

775
00:44:17,445 --> 00:44:20,118
how are you so certain
that they're coming?

776
00:44:22,423 --> 00:44:23,990
I'm not certain.

777
00:44:25,189 --> 00:44:27,290
You can't be certain
about the weather.

778
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:30,900
All we can do is
look to the evidence.

779
00:44:30,935 --> 00:44:36,200
Do you know that weathermen are
traditionally a little boring?

780
00:44:38,267 --> 00:44:41,139
-How dare you say that?
-(laughs)

781
00:44:43,374 --> 00:44:46,980
Weathermen, maybe, but how can
the weather be boring?

782
00:44:48,283 --> 00:44:50,250
It feeds us.

783
00:44:50,285 --> 00:44:52,117
The weather.

784
00:44:53,091 --> 00:44:55,191
Can destroy us.

785
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:57,551
Controls our daily life.

786
00:44:59,627 --> 00:45:01,456
I don't think that's boring.

787
00:45:06,729 --> 00:45:10,564
People ask, "When will it rain?
When will the sun come out?"

788
00:45:12,906 --> 00:45:14,843
But what about,
"Why does it rain?"

789
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:18,847
"Why does the wind blow?"

790
00:45:20,382 --> 00:45:21,850
"What's the wind?"

791
00:45:24,188 --> 00:45:26,684
(phone ringing)

792
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:28,651
Excuse me. (clears throat)

793
00:45:28,686 --> 00:45:30,392
Yes. Stagg.

794
00:45:30,427 --> 00:45:31,954
Yes, go ahead. Repeat that.

795
00:45:31,989 --> 00:45:33,092
Zero, zero, one, zero, four...

IKE:
Good news or bad?

802
00:45:53,284 --> 00:45:54,847
We're looking good, sir.

803
00:45:54,882 --> 00:45:56,880
I couldn't disagree
with that more.

804
00:45:56,915 --> 00:45:58,584
We're not looking good at all.

805
00:45:58,619 --> 00:46:00,384
You know what, I am done

806
00:46:00,419 --> 00:46:03,920
with this Scotch pessimism
of yours, this Highland gloom.

807
00:46:03,955 --> 00:46:05,386
I'm not from the Highlands.

808

Well, your Lowland gloom, then.

I'm neither from the Highlands

Well, wherever it is he's from,

811
00:46:11,536 --> 00:46:12,992
we're in good shape
for Monday, sir.

812
00:46:13,028 --> 00:46:14,594
You see this?

813
00:46:14,630 --> 00:46:16,662
This ridge of high pressure
has already moved in

814
00:46:16,697 --> 00:46:20,100
from the Azores,
just as it did on June 3, 1925.

JAMES:
This is moronic.

816
00:46:22,742 --> 00:46:25,347
This is actually moronic.

817
00:46:25,382 --> 00:46:26,846
Oh, so I'm moronic now?

818
00:46:26,882 --> 00:46:28,340
That's great, Stagg.
That's just great.

819
00:46:28,375 --> 00:46:29,850
Just insult me right to my face.

820
00:46:29,886 --> 00:46:31,450
I'm not insulting you.
I'm just describing you.

821
00:46:31,485 --> 00:46:32,849
As a moron?

IKE:
All right, enough.

823
00:46:33,985 --> 00:46:35,624
As a confident moron, yes.

824
00:46:35,660 --> 00:46:37,122
Oh, go to hell, Stagg.
You come in here,

825
00:46:37,157 --> 00:46:38,517
-you think you're better
than us? -Hey! All right,

826
00:46:38,552 --> 00:46:39,788
all right, all right,
that's enough.

Jesus Christ.

828
00:46:42,432 --> 00:46:45,230
We have three hours.

829
00:46:45,265 --> 00:46:48,761
Three hours until we
take this up with the C-in-Cs.

830
00:46:50,998 --> 00:46:52,501
Now...

831
00:46:53,937 --> 00:46:56,269
...go or not go?

832
00:46:56,304 --> 00:46:57,776
Sir, what we need to consider...

833
00:46:57,811 --> 00:46:59,872
No, no. No, no more considering.

834
00:46:59,908 --> 00:47:01,241
No.

835
00:47:01,277 --> 00:47:04,279
Go or don't go? Go or don't go?

836

-That's it. Which is it?!
-(phone ringing)

837
00:47:06,081 --> 00:47:07,285
We should go, sir.

ANDREW (quietly): I'm sorry,
we'll have to call you back.

841
00:47:14,528 --> 00:47:15,623
Understood.

842
00:47:16,624 --> 00:47:18,430
Uh, uh, I-I'm sorry, sir.
It's for you.

843
00:47:18,465 --> 00:47:20,062
Not now.

844
00:47:20,098 --> 00:47:21,794
They say it's extremely urgent.

845
00:47:26,474 --> 00:47:28,241
Yes. Stagg.

846
00:47:28,276 --> 00:47:30,109
(over phone): Sir, this is
Private Amy Haig from Signals

847
00:47:30,145 --> 00:47:32,575
relaying a message from
the Dunstable Met Office.

848
00:47:32,610 --> 00:47:35,044
Your wife was taken to the
maternity ward of St. Mary's.

849
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,352
-She is pregnant, yes?
-Yes.

850
00:47:37,388 --> 00:47:38,650
Yes, that's correct.

851
00:47:38,685 --> 00:47:39,981
Is the baby here?

852
00:47:40,016 --> 00:47:41,624
Have I missed it?

853
00:47:41,659 --> 00:47:43,825
Well, sir,
they felt you should know:

854
00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:46,323
St. Mary's Hospital was bombed
earlier tonight.

855
00:47:46,359 --> 00:47:49,093
There have been casualties,
sir, and they're...

856
00:47:49,128 --> 00:47:51,329
they're still looking
for your wife.

857
00:47:57,903 --> 00:47:59,700
Group Captain Stagg?

858
00:48:06,814 --> 00:48:08,780
Is there any more information?

859
00:48:08,815 --> 00:48:10,711
Not at this point, sir.

860
00:48:12,182 --> 00:48:13,980
But there's been casualties?

861
00:48:14,015 --> 00:48:15,485
Yes, sir.

862
00:48:23,026 --> 00:48:25,330
Okay. Well, um...

863
00:48:26,867 --> 00:48:29,739
Well, if you have any more...

864
00:48:29,774 --> 00:48:32,165
information,
then let me know-- anything.

865
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,866
Of course, sir.

866
00:48:37,006 --> 00:48:38,512
Thank you.

867
00:48:38,548 --> 00:48:40,180
You're welcome, sir.

868
00:48:42,983 --> 00:48:44,877
IKE:
There a problem, Stagg?

869
00:48:53,860 --> 00:48:56,188
No. It's irrelevant.

870
00:48:56,224 --> 00:48:58,390
IKE:
Good.

871
00:48:58,425 --> 00:49:00,464
So, can I give the order?

872
00:49:02,899 --> 00:49:04,899
What?

873
00:49:04,935 --> 00:49:06,803
The order.

874
00:49:06,838 --> 00:49:08,637
For Monday.

875
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:11,805
No.

876
00:49:13,481 --> 00:49:14,982
N-No?

877
00:49:15,018 --> 00:49:18,716
I mean, so you're saying
don't give the order?

878
00:49:18,751 --> 00:49:20,917
Is that it?

879
00:49:20,952 --> 00:49:22,915
Yeah, that... Yes.

880
00:49:25,060 --> 00:49:28,657
Yes. I'm saying that...
I'm saying...

881
00:49:28,692 --> 00:49:33,068
that the weather on Monday
will be extremely poor.

882
00:49:35,268 --> 00:49:37,435
IKE: Let me tell you
my problem, Stagg.

883
00:49:39,268 --> 00:49:42,437
Even I can see that

884
00:49:42,472 --> 00:49:46,915
Krick's anticyclone
is on the move,

885
00:49:46,951 --> 00:49:51,449
because it's right here
on the goddamn map.

886
00:49:53,825 --> 00:49:58,487
Now, our final meeting
is at 0400 hours,

887
00:49:58,523 --> 00:50:01,496
