00:02:00,551 --> 00:02:02,084
Here, have one of these.

4
00:02:24,902 --> 00:02:26,669
Fuck me.

5
00:02:53,271 --> 00:02:54,697
Right.

6
00:02:56,168 --> 00:02:58,673
Are you sure there's time?

7
00:02:58,674 --> 00:03:00,208
There's time.

8
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:08,612
Thank you.

9
00:03:17,522 --> 00:03:19,491
Did they say how long
you'll be gone for?

10
00:03:20,697 --> 00:03:22,230
No, they didn't say.

11
00:03:29,742 --> 00:03:31,800
I'm very proud
they chose you, Jim.

12
00:03:35,744 --> 00:03:37,179
I'll be fine.

13
00:03:39,416 --> 00:03:40,886
Go.

14
00:03:42,221 --> 00:03:43,750
Okay.

15
00:04:07,578 --> 00:04:08,947
Morning, sir.

16
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:53,152
Sir.

17
00:04:53,153 --> 00:04:54,950
Group Captain Dr. James Stagg,

18
00:04:54,951 --> 00:04:58,223
chief meteorological officer,
reporting for duty.

19
00:04:58,224 --> 00:04:59,927
I.D. card and pass, please, sir.

20
00:04:59,928 --> 00:05:01,362
Right this way, sir.

21
00:05:02,393 --> 00:05:04,233
Welcome to Southwick House, sir.

22
00:05:06,135 --> 00:05:07,670
I'm Andrew Carter
with the Met Office.

23
00:05:07,671 --> 00:05:08,772
I'll be your ADC.

24
00:05:08,773 --> 00:05:10,305
Mm-hmm.

25
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:23,990
I must admit it's a great honor
to meet you, Dr. Stagg.

26
00:05:23,991 --> 00:05:25,822
I so enjoyed your paper
on terrestrial magnetism.

27
00:05:25,823 --> 00:05:27,458
It's a fascinating subject.

28
00:05:27,459 --> 00:05:29,192
It is, yes.

29
00:05:46,106 --> 00:05:47,771
And here we are, sir.

30
00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:04,993
Operations rooms
are upstairs, sir.

31
00:06:04,994 --> 00:06:06,526
Teleprinters are in the cellars.

32
00:06:06,527 --> 00:06:08,798
And our forecast room
is just through here.

33
00:06:19,573 --> 00:06:21,210
- Where can I put this down?
- Anywhere, sir.

34
00:06:21,211 --> 00:06:24,076
We'll have someone
take it to your tent.

35
00:06:24,077 --> 00:06:25,544
What are these?

36
00:06:25,545 --> 00:06:27,251
They're historical
analog charts.

37
00:06:27,252 --> 00:06:28,986
I know what they are,
but what are they doing here?

38
00:06:28,987 --> 00:06:30,887
Colonel Krick,
he requested them.

39
00:06:32,518 --> 00:06:35,084
Well, which one is he?
Introduce me.

40
00:06:35,085 --> 00:06:36,720
I believe he's with General...

41
00:06:36,721 --> 00:06:38,860
Can you stop!
Stop the banging, please.

42
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:43,668
I believe
he's with General Eisenhower

43
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:45,202
at the moment, sir.

44
00:06:48,532 --> 00:06:50,031
I'll call you back.

45
00:06:52,675 --> 00:06:53,843
Sir.

46
00:06:53,844 --> 00:06:55,276
What's coming through?

47
00:06:55,277 --> 00:06:58,849
Soundings at 53 north,
35 west, sir.

48
00:06:58,850 --> 00:07:00,946
Mm-hmm. Weather ship Hoste, yes?

49
00:07:00,947 --> 00:07:02,450
Yes, sir.

50
00:07:02,451 --> 00:07:04,552
Uh, Casey and Bryant here
are linked directly

51
00:07:04,553 --> 00:07:06,551
to the teleprinter ops
at Dunstable and Bushy Park.

52
00:07:06,552 --> 00:07:08,517
- Which one are you?
- I'm Casey, sir.

53
00:07:08,518 --> 00:07:11,129
That's wrong, Casey.

54
00:07:12,688 --> 00:07:15,133
Our American contingent, sir.

55
00:07:16,862 --> 00:07:19,567
This is Flight Officer Murray,
Flight Officer Hamilton.

56
00:07:19,568 --> 00:07:21,600
- Good to meet you, sir.
- They're on surface weather.

57
00:07:21,601 --> 00:07:23,872
What, both of you?
Who's on upper air?

58
00:07:23,873 --> 00:07:25,644
Uh, no one, sir.

59
00:07:25,645 --> 00:07:27,144
No one's on upper air?

60
00:07:27,145 --> 00:07:29,510
So that data just goes
unrecorded, does it?

61
00:07:30,711 --> 00:07:33,417
I'll need both of you
on upper air at all times.

62
00:07:33,418 --> 00:07:35,449
Uh, we were told to use
historical analog charts, sir.

63
00:07:35,450 --> 00:07:37,288
Not by me.
Those weren't my instructions.

64
00:07:37,289 --> 00:07:39,890
It's just, Colonel Krick
instructed us otherwise, sir.

65
00:07:39,891 --> 00:07:41,421
Did he? Do I have an office?

66
00:07:41,422 --> 00:07:43,590
Yes, sir.
It's just through here.

67
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:53,837
Ah.

68
00:07:53,838 --> 00:07:55,833
Good afternoon, sir.

69
00:07:56,941 --> 00:07:58,769
Uh, this is Group Captain Stagg.

70
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:00,409
He's just transferred
from Dunstable.

71
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:03,143
We've been very much
looking forward to his...

72
00:08:03,144 --> 00:08:04,611
him joining us here.

73
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:08,077
Lieutenant Kay Summersby.

74
00:08:08,078 --> 00:08:10,680
Motor Transport Corps.
Welcome to Southwick House.

75
00:08:10,681 --> 00:08:13,354
Are we sharing an office,
or what?

76
00:08:13,355 --> 00:08:16,787
No. I was just using it
temporarily.

77
00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:19,428
Good, because I'll need it
exclusively.

78
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:27,271
Well, very good.

79
00:08:47,358 --> 00:08:49,353
Can you see to it that
General Eisenhower knows

80
00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:50,821
that I'm here?

81
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:54,796
And that I apologize
for my late arrival?

82
00:08:54,797 --> 00:08:56,333
Yes, sir.

83
00:08:58,603 --> 00:08:59,996
Sir.

84
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:06,475
Right.

85
00:09:12,648 --> 00:09:14,049
OPERATOR
Hello. Signals Department.

86
00:09:14,050 --> 00:09:15,448
Switchboard speaking.

87
00:09:15,449 --> 00:09:18,586
Yes, um,
Richmond 1-9-3-7, please.

88
00:09:18,587 --> 00:09:21,257
I'm sorry, but all
outgoing calls are forbidden

89
00:09:21,258 --> 00:09:24,021
without prior authorization, sir.

90
00:09:24,022 --> 00:09:27,065
Uh, no, no, I-I-I...
I need to speak with my wife.

91
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:29,594
I'm sorry, sir.

92
00:09:29,595 --> 00:09:31,229
Hello?

93
00:09:31,230 --> 00:09:33,161
Yes? Hello?

94
00:09:39,111 --> 00:09:41,046
If you'd like to follow me,
please,

95
00:09:41,047 --> 00:09:43,039
General Eisenhower
will see you now.

96
00:09:46,981 --> 00:09:49,351
I wouldn't keep him waiting any
longer than you already have.

97
00:10:06,466 --> 00:10:08,604
Group Captain Dr. James Stagg,

98
00:10:08,605 --> 00:10:11,540
here at the express request
of General Eisenhower.

99
00:10:19,484 --> 00:10:22,286
And all 265 vessels arrived
without issue, sir.

100
00:10:22,287 --> 00:10:24,614
And we've assigned, uh,
five patrol craft

101
00:10:24,615 --> 00:10:26,258
and three destroyers.

102
00:10:26,259 --> 00:10:28,089
DWIGHT "IKE" EISENHOWER:
Let's get the job done.

103
00:10:28,090 --> 00:10:29,586
Glad to hear it.

104
00:10:29,587 --> 00:10:31,153
Lieutenant Summersby?

105
00:10:31,154 --> 00:10:33,395
Sir, may I introduce
Group Captain James Stagg,

106
00:10:33,396 --> 00:10:35,433
who finally made it in
from London?

107
00:10:35,434 --> 00:10:37,395
Well, it's good to meet you,
Group Captain Stagg.

108
00:10:37,396 --> 00:10:38,830
Welcome aboard.

109
00:10:38,831 --> 00:10:42,572
Nice to finally put
a face to the name.

110
00:10:42,573 --> 00:10:45,175
Have you got all the equipment
you need downstairs?

111
00:10:45,176 --> 00:10:46,779
Equipment is not
the problem, sir.

112
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:48,446
What's the problem?

113
00:10:48,447 --> 00:10:50,248
Um, well, it's time, sir.
I haven't really had any...

114
00:10:50,249 --> 00:10:53,083
any time to establish
any clear picture.

115
00:10:53,084 --> 00:10:54,744
Have a look, Group Captain.

116
00:10:54,745 --> 00:10:57,515
I got 7,000 naval vessels,

117
00:10:57,516 --> 00:10:59,521
130,000 ground troops,

118
00:10:59,522 --> 00:11:02,688
200,000 naval personnel,
15 hospital ships,

119
00:11:02,689 --> 00:11:05,426
8,000 doctors,
three airborne divisions

120
00:11:05,427 --> 00:11:07,365
and a partridge in a pear tree.

121
00:11:08,796 --> 00:11:13,638
Largest seaborne invasion force
in history.

122
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:15,296
Is it?

123
00:11:18,641 --> 00:11:21,610
And do we have a date yet
for the invasion, sir?

124
00:11:22,706 --> 00:11:24,675
We invade France Monday.

125
00:11:24,676 --> 00:11:27,314
- This Monday?
- Correct.

126
00:11:27,315 --> 00:11:30,520
Monday, June 5th, 0630.

127
00:11:30,521 --> 00:11:36,020
That is D-Day,
which is in 61 hours from now.

128
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,893
Fate of the war hinges on this.

129
00:11:41,894 --> 00:11:44,633
All the pieces of the jigsaw
are in place.

130
00:11:44,634 --> 00:11:47,163
There's only one imponderable
that remains.

131
00:11:48,203 --> 00:11:49,869
I need a forecast.

132
00:11:51,841 --> 00:11:54,871
I'm... Yes, I'm concerned
that what you're asking me is

133
00:11:54,872 --> 00:11:57,015
scientifically impossible, sir.

134
00:11:57,016 --> 00:11:59,008
Uh, long-term forecasting is

135
00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:00,846
really only ever
educated guesswork.

136
00:12:00,847 --> 00:12:03,314
Monday is not long-term,
for Christ's sake.

137
00:12:03,315 --> 00:12:06,355
Does Monday sound like long-term
to you, Lieutenant Summersby?

138
00:12:06,356 --> 00:12:07,720
No, it certainly does not, sir.

139
00:12:07,721 --> 00:12:09,726
Well, this is
Northern Europe, sir.

140
00:12:09,727 --> 00:12:13,196
Anything over 24 hours is-is...
is considered long-term,

141
00:12:13,197 --> 00:12:14,927
meteorologically speaking.

142
00:12:18,067 --> 00:12:19,536
But I'll...

143
00:12:20,697 --> 00:12:21,896
I'll do my best.

144
00:12:21,897 --> 00:12:23,271
I don't want your best.

145
00:12:23,272 --> 00:12:25,074
I already expect that.

146
00:12:25,075 --> 00:12:26,372
I need certainty.

147
00:12:26,373 --> 00:12:27,907
Churchill tells me

148
00:12:27,908 --> 00:12:29,580
you're the best meteorologist
in the country

149
00:12:29,581 --> 00:12:32,048
and that I should rely on you
over Colonel Krick.

150
00:12:32,049 --> 00:12:33,545
You know him?

151
00:12:33,546 --> 00:12:34,912
Only by reputation.

152
00:12:34,913 --> 00:12:37,046
Well, Krick's been with me
since '42.

153
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,717
He's never steered me wrong,
so...

154
00:12:39,718 --> 00:12:41,723
let's see how you measure up.

155
00:12:42,754 --> 00:12:44,428
I need a forecast for Monday.

156
00:12:44,429 --> 00:12:46,688
I need it first thing
tomorrow morning.

157
00:12:46,689 --> 00:12:48,059
Y-Yes, sir.

158
00:12:49,066 --> 00:12:50,468
Don't let me down.

159
00:12:54,071 --> 00:12:55,600
Group Captain.

160
00:12:55,601 --> 00:12:57,442
Let's go.

161
00:12:59,670 --> 00:13:01,710

00:13:42,185 --> 00:13:43,818
There you go.

179
00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:47,690
There you go.

180
00:13:49,524 --> 00:13:51,957
Oh, stick to piano, Irv.

181
00:13:54,963 --> 00:13:58,932
I-I don't believe you've met,
uh, Group Captain Stagg.

182
00:14:00,434 --> 00:14:02,506
Only by telephone.

183
00:14:02,507 --> 00:14:05,309
Dr. Stagg, so nice
to finally meet you.

184
00:14:05,310 --> 00:14:06,805
You're younger than I imagined.

185
00:14:06,806 --> 00:14:09,013
You're shorter than I imagined.

186
00:14:12,444 --> 00:14:13,881
Analogs.

187
00:14:15,846 --> 00:14:17,788
I realize that, yes.

188
00:14:17,789 --> 00:14:22,324
Every single weather chart
for Northern Europe since 1900.

189
00:14:22,325 --> 00:14:24,462
Mm. Um, in my experience,

190
00:14:24,463 --> 00:14:28,456
the weather never replicates
its own history.

191
00:14:28,457 --> 00:14:31,333
Ah, well, try telling that
to a movie producer.

192
00:14:31,334 --> 00:14:32,861
Remember Selznick, Kay?

193
00:14:32,862 --> 00:14:34,003
Oh.

194
00:14:34,004 --> 00:14:35,536
July '39.

195
00:14:35,537 --> 00:14:37,640
David Selznick calls me up.

196
00:14:37,641 --> 00:14:39,576
He's making a movie.
He wants a forecast

197
00:14:39,577 --> 00:14:42,204
for a three-day period
in Beverly Hills.

198
00:14:42,205 --> 00:14:44,247
The scene is...

199
00:14:44,248 --> 00:14:45,714
the burning of Atlanta.

200
00:14:45,715 --> 00:14:47,943
"I don't want to see
a drop of rain, Irv.

201
00:14:47,944 --> 00:14:49,950
Not a drop. Not a drop."

202
00:14:49,951 --> 00:14:52,387
Well, MGM calls me up.
They give me the dates.

203
00:14:52,388 --> 00:14:54,291
I give 'em the forecast.

204
00:14:54,292 --> 00:14:56,017
Beautiful weather.

205
00:14:56,018 --> 00:14:58,019
I mean, just gorgeous.

206
00:14:58,020 --> 00:14:59,497
Not a cloud in the sky.

207
00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:01,193
Movie's a hit.
I get to meet Clark Gable.

208
00:15:01,194 --> 00:15:04,367
Little picture-- I-I don't know
if you heard of it.

209
00:15:04,368 --> 00:15:06,435
Called <i>Gone with the Wind.</i>

210
00:15:06,436 --> 00:15:08,203
- You seen it, Stagg?
- No.

211
00:15:08,204 --> 00:15:10,906
No? That...

212
00:15:10,907 --> 00:15:13,111
That's crazy. Who hasn't seen
<i>Gone with the Wind?</i>

213
00:15:13,112 --> 00:15:14,711
Me. I haven't seen it.

214
00:15:14,712 --> 00:15:16,346
Well, you must.
I mean, it's a great picture.

215
00:15:16,347 --> 00:15:18,340
It's great. I saw it with Ike.

216
00:15:18,341 --> 00:15:20,715
Kay drove us...
to the London premiere.

217
00:15:20,716 --> 00:15:22,385
-This is true.
- Great night.

218
00:15:22,386 --> 00:15:24,253
So, did you meet Vivien Leigh?

219
00:15:24,254 --> 00:15:25,888
Oh, we sure did.

220
00:15:25,889 --> 00:15:27,524
-What was she like?
- What was she like?

221
00:15:27,525 --> 00:15:29,252
Uh, she was cute.

222
00:15:29,253 --> 00:15:30,956
The Allied High Command
has requested

223
00:15:30,957 --> 00:15:33,125
our forecast
by 1:00 p.m. tomorrow.

224
00:15:34,093 --> 00:15:37,426
Time and date of the invasion
to France

225
00:15:37,427 --> 00:15:41,100
has been confirmed for Monday.
Monday. Monday.

226
00:15:45,005 --> 00:15:47,707
June 5th, 6:30 a.m.,
so can we start, please?

227
00:15:47,708 --> 00:15:49,141
Get rid of the piano. Thank you.

228
00:15:52,747 --> 00:15:54,584
Is it bothering you, Dr. Stagg?

229
00:15:54,585 --> 00:15:56,753
It's inappropriate.

230
00:16:00,625 --> 00:16:03,485
Call this extension
if you need to speak

231
00:16:03,486 --> 00:16:05,922
to General Eisenhower anytime,
day or night.

232
00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:08,290
Is this his direct line?

233
00:16:08,291 --> 00:16:10,326
Oh, no.
It's a direct line to me.

234
00:16:10,327 --> 00:16:13,132
I handle all communication
with the general.

235
00:16:22,547 --> 00:16:24,175
Can I have your attention, please?

236
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:29,115
Bryant, can you put
the phone down, please?

237
00:16:30,112 --> 00:16:31,751
Is that his name? Bryant?

238
00:16:31,752 --> 00:16:33,658
Okay, go ahead.

239
00:16:44,768 --> 00:16:47,135
I needn't, I hope,
have to stress to you

240
00:16:47,136 --> 00:16:49,970
how crucial this forecast is,
but I do want to stress

241
00:16:49,971 --> 00:16:53,210
one thing to you all
and one thing only:

242
00:16:53,211 --> 00:16:54,707
Get me the data.

243
00:16:54,708 --> 00:16:56,341
That's what counts.

244
00:16:56,342 --> 00:16:58,614
Get me the latest readings
from every single base

245
00:16:58,615 --> 00:17:01,209
within 2,000 miles of Normandy.

246
00:17:01,210 --> 00:17:03,486
That's Paris, Galway, Reykjavík,

247
00:17:03,487 --> 00:17:06,218
Boston, Washington, Lisbon...

248
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,688
...New York, Newfoundland.

249
00:17:09,689 --> 00:17:11,156
You get the idea.

250
00:17:11,157 --> 00:17:13,061
Get me the data
from every Met station,

251
00:17:13,062 --> 00:17:15,225
every weather balloon,
every reconnaissance flight.

252
00:17:15,226 --> 00:17:17,362
That's upper air.
That's surface air.

253
00:17:17,363 --> 00:17:19,194
That's radar soundings.
That's sea temperature.

254
00:17:19,195 --> 00:17:20,605
That's salinity. Everything.

255
00:17:20,606 --> 00:17:22,839
If we've measured it,
then I want it.

256
00:17:27,146 --> 00:17:29,643
That room there...

257
00:17:29,644 --> 00:17:31,248
that's where I'll be.

258
00:17:31,249 --> 00:17:33,311
Get me the data.

259
00:17:34,649 --> 00:17:36,578
That's what counts.

260
00:17:54,735 --> 00:17:57,107
700 millibars.

261
00:17:57,108 --> 00:17:59,708
210. 28.

262
00:17:59,709 --> 00:18:01,437
<i>650 millibars.</i>

263
00:18:01,438 --> 00:18:03,605
Plus 19.

264
00:18:04,816 --> 00:18:06,574
Observations
coming in from Spain.

265
00:18:06,575 --> 00:18:08,414
Sea surface temp: 18 degrees.

266
00:18:08,415 --> 00:18:10,882
<i>Ten-tenths
stratocumulus and altocumulus</i>

267
00:18:10,883 --> 00:18:12,182
<i>now rising in zero-two.</i>

268
00:18:12,183 --> 00:18:15,055
<i>1-0-1-5 millibars.</i>

269
00:18:17,256 --> 00:18:18,726
<i>Northwest wind, force five.</i>

270
00:18:18,727 --> 00:18:20,225
<i>6-0-0 millibars.</i>

271
00:18:20,226 --> 00:18:23,065
<i>Wind southwest, force four.</i>

272
00:18:23,066 --> 00:18:24,929
South Iceland
seven-tenths, 30,000 feet.

273
00:18:24,930 --> 00:18:26,063
Southeast, force six.

274
00:18:29,068 --> 00:18:31,070
<i>1-0-1-8 millibars.</i>

275
00:18:31,071 --> 00:18:32,668
Say that again, please.
Repeat that.

276
00:18:32,669 --> 00:18:34,239
Are you getting the
L front temp? -No, I have...

277
00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:38,316
<i>Seven-tenths, stratocumulus,</i>

278
00:18:38,317 --> 00:18:40,813
<i>3,000 feet, force six.</i>

279
00:18:40,814 --> 00:18:42,314
Southwesterly, force six.

280
00:18:42,315 --> 00:18:43,711
We're still waiting on
the Greenland data, sir.

281
00:18:45,955 --> 00:18:47,592
Just-just leave that.
Just leave that be.

282
00:18:47,593 --> 00:18:48,752
What speed is L3 moving at?

283
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:50,422
25 knots.

284
00:18:50,423 --> 00:18:53,061
Finished with that?

285
00:18:53,062 --> 00:18:57,392
Ten StratoCu 3,000 feet,
southeast, force four.

286
00:18:57,393 --> 00:18:59,637
<i>1-0-1-3 millibars.</i>

287
00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:01,163
Radar soundings from 0930.

288
00:19:02,665 --> 00:19:04,335
There's been no movement
from the main course.

289
00:19:04,336 --> 00:19:07,070
Sir, the weather conditions
in Normandy.

290
00:19:08,472 --> 00:19:10,006
These are from yesterday's
12 o'clock, sir.

291
00:19:10,007 --> 00:19:11,441
Humidity reports.

292
00:19:11,442 --> 00:19:13,476
And we have those folders
you requested...

293
00:19:15,585 --> 00:19:17,151
There's nothing there.

294
00:19:21,326 --> 00:19:24,125
Carter. It's done.

295
00:19:26,021 --> 00:19:27,597
Good man.

296
00:19:38,044 --> 00:19:39,206
Sir.

297
00:19:42,107 --> 00:19:43,980
The latest completed maps.

298
00:20:06,735 --> 00:20:08,197
Oh, come on.

299
00:20:08,198 --> 00:20:09,697
Look at the analogs.

300
00:20:09,698 --> 00:20:11,534
It's as plain as day:
calm, sunny weather.

301
00:20:11,535 --> 00:20:13,535
Those analogs prove
absolutely nothing.

302
00:20:13,536 --> 00:20:15,173
How can you say that?
It's right here.

303
00:20:15,174 --> 00:20:16,346
Are you blind?

304
00:20:16,347 --> 00:20:17,548
Look at it.

305
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:18,813
I don't need to look at it.

306
00:20:18,814 --> 00:20:20,212
The chart is 19 years old.

307
00:20:20,213 --> 00:20:23,312
Fine, that's-that's
40 years old,

308
00:20:23,313 --> 00:20:27,682
27 years, uh, 15 years old.

309
00:20:27,683 --> 00:20:31,219
That's-that's the point:
patterns over time.

310
00:20:31,220 --> 00:20:33,127
Okay. Thank you.

311
00:20:33,128 --> 00:20:35,492
I think what we need to do
is establish

312
00:20:35,493 --> 00:20:38,263
what we already know today,
here and now.

313
00:20:38,264 --> 00:20:42,840
Um, we have
two aggressive storms

314
00:20:42,841 --> 00:20:45,169
stretching themselves
across the Atlantic

315
00:20:45,170 --> 00:20:47,178
from Newfoundland to Normandy.

316
00:20:47,179 --> 00:20:48,870
Agreed.

317
00:20:48,871 --> 00:20:51,614
There is an area of
high pressure above the Azores.

318
00:20:51,615 --> 00:20:53,014
That's what interests me.

319
00:20:53,015 --> 00:20:55,046
But it's moving lethargically
and...

320
00:20:55,047 --> 00:20:56,381
Your word, not mine.

321
00:20:56,382 --> 00:20:58,447
I'm sorry, would you like
the floor again?

322
00:20:58,448 --> 00:21:00,881
Me? No, it's your floor.
Go ahead.

323
00:21:03,522 --> 00:21:07,058
We can't just base the forecast
on surface air

324
00:21:07,059 --> 00:21:09,494
and, uh, analog charts.

325
00:21:09,495 --> 00:21:11,798
We must also consider
the jet stream, which...

326
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:12,932
The jet stream?

327
00:21:12,933 --> 00:21:14,399
Yes, the jet stream

328
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,037
currently hurtling its way
towards Europe

329
00:21:16,038 --> 00:21:17,531
and dragging
both the storms with it,

330
00:21:17,532 --> 00:21:18,871
likely spawning a third storm.

331
00:21:18,872 --> 00:21:19,936
That jet stream.

332
00:21:19,937 --> 00:21:21,572
Okay.

333
00:21:24,378 --> 00:21:27,150
Which will inevitably mean
stormier conditions

334
00:21:27,151 --> 00:21:30,216
over the next few days--
tomorrow, Sunday, into Monday.

335
00:21:30,217 --> 00:21:33,582
Disastrous conditions
for an invasion.

336
00:21:33,583 --> 00:21:35,320
Okay, thank you so much,
Dr. Stagg.

337
00:21:35,321 --> 00:21:39,357
Now, this is a chart
for June 2, 1925.

338
00:21:39,358 --> 00:21:41,391
Nearly identical conditions
to today.

339
00:21:41,392 --> 00:21:42,899
Same depressions
in the Atlantic,

340
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:44,898
same high pressures
over the Azores.

341
00:21:44,899 --> 00:21:46,936
Move ahead... three days

342
00:21:46,937 --> 00:21:51,300
to June 5, 1925,
D-Day if you will.

343
00:21:51,301 --> 00:21:55,179
Calm. Sunny weather.

344
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:58,115
1925 is entirely irrelevant
to what we're talking about.

345
00:21:58,116 --> 00:22:03,114
I could've just as easily picked
June 2, 1904, or 1929.

346
00:22:03,115 --> 00:22:04,947
You know as well as I do

347
00:22:04,948 --> 00:22:08,521
that atmospheric conditions
can never be identical ever.

348
00:22:08,522 --> 00:22:12,157
What I do know is who nailed
the forecast at Alamein

349
00:22:12,158 --> 00:22:13,756
for the Western Desert campaign,

350
00:22:13,757 --> 00:22:16,364
for the Tunisian campaign,
for Operation Torch.

351
00:22:16,365 --> 00:22:19,694
I know who got it right
every goddamn time in Cairo.

352
00:22:19,695 --> 00:22:22,666
In Tripoli, Algiers,
Oran, Casablanca.

353
00:22:24,376 --> 00:22:26,134
Do you know?

354
00:22:26,135 --> 00:22:27,341
You?

355
00:22:28,346 --> 00:22:30,947
Yeah. Me.

356
00:22:30,948 --> 00:22:33,881
This isn't Casablanca,
Colonel Krick.

357
00:22:33,882 --> 00:22:35,380
This is Northern Europe.

358
00:22:35,381 --> 00:22:38,319
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.

359
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,218
When the atmospheric conditions
are a match,

360
00:22:41,219 --> 00:22:44,028
the weather follows suit.

361
00:22:46,564 --> 00:22:48,831
Mark my words.

362
00:22:48,832 --> 00:22:50,727
D-Day will be calm and sunny.

363
00:22:51,834 --> 00:22:54,071
Nighty night, gentlemen.

364
00:22:55,066 --> 00:22:56,205
Nobody move.

365
00:23:00,644 --> 00:23:02,073
Back to work.

366
00:23:08,544 --> 00:23:10,318
What do you make of Stagg?

367
00:23:11,587 --> 00:23:12,914
Hmm.

368
00:23:14,084 --> 00:23:16,016
Scottish.

369
00:23:17,058 --> 00:23:18,725
Churchill says he's a genius.

370
00:23:18,726 --> 00:23:20,927
Hmm.

371
00:23:20,928 --> 00:23:22,997
Yeah, well...

372
00:23:22,998 --> 00:23:25,333
men are too fond of that word.

373
00:23:40,042 --> 00:23:42,516
OFFICER
<i>Three-tenths Cu and StratoCu</i>

374
00:23:42,517 --> 00:23:45,415
<i>at 2,000 feet,
cloud extending to West Wales.</i>

375
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,767
Inflatable Shermans,

376
00:23:57,768 --> 00:24:00,671
Spitfires, Long Toms

377
00:24:00,672 --> 00:24:02,631
and troop carriers.

378
00:24:02,632 --> 00:24:05,701
Just rubber and air, gentlemen.

379
00:24:05,702 --> 00:24:07,804
But to a Nazi
reconnaissance plane,

380
00:24:07,805 --> 00:24:10,740
utterly indistinguishable
from the real thing.

381
00:24:10,741 --> 00:24:13,809
In North Africa,
I proved this time and again

382
00:24:13,810 --> 00:24:17,883
with victory after victory
after victory.

383
00:24:17,884 --> 00:24:21,115
Of course, it's not just about
crushing the enemy, gentlemen.

384
00:24:21,116 --> 00:24:24,592
It's about deceiving him, too,
and deceive him we will.

385
00:24:24,593 --> 00:24:28,898
We've conjured up phantom armies
across all of East Anglia,

386
00:24:28,899 --> 00:24:31,431
thousands of fake supply depots,

387
00:24:31,432 --> 00:24:34,837
false radio transmissions,
empty tents

388
00:24:34,838 --> 00:24:36,404
and decoy campfires.

389
00:24:38,773 --> 00:24:41,143
On D-Day,

390
00:24:41,144 --> 00:24:43,975
dummy paratroopers
weighted with sand

391
00:24:43,976 --> 00:24:48,917
will be dropped 15 to 20 miles
inland from the Normandy coast.

392
00:24:48,918 --> 00:24:51,353
They explode on impact.

393
00:24:53,615 --> 00:24:56,460
Only the chute remains.

394
00:24:56,461 --> 00:24:59,192
With any luck, the enemy will
think our boys are running wild

395
00:24:59,193 --> 00:25:00,822
through the French interior,

396
00:25:00,823 --> 00:25:02,998
drawing great chunks
of their forces

397
00:25:02,999 --> 00:25:05,697
right away from the beaches.

398
00:25:05,698 --> 00:25:09,165
It's a little small,
don't you think, Monty?

399
00:25:09,166 --> 00:25:11,203
Small?

400
00:25:11,204 --> 00:25:13,067
It's a joke, Monty.

401
00:25:15,975 --> 00:25:17,177
Yes.

402
00:25:17,178 --> 00:25:21,008
What's small is our window.

403
00:25:21,009 --> 00:25:24,486
The 12th SS Panzer
is already near Caen.

404
00:25:24,487 --> 00:25:28,654
The 352nd Infantry Division
are heavily entrenched.

405
00:25:29,652 --> 00:25:33,493
If we delay beyond Monday,

406
00:25:33,494 --> 00:25:36,196
they will see right through
all of this.

407
00:25:36,197 --> 00:25:38,126
Everything that we have done,

408
00:25:38,127 --> 00:25:42,162
all our meticulous efforts,
will be for naught.

409
00:25:46,838 --> 00:25:50,072
He's doubled his defenses
in as many weeks.

410
00:25:50,073 --> 00:25:54,379
Every passing hour
makes our task more perilous.

411
00:25:54,380 --> 00:25:56,253
Ideally, we bring D-Day forward.

412
00:25:59,416 --> 00:26:00,890
Can't be done.

413
00:26:00,891 --> 00:26:02,820
We are two days out.

414
00:26:04,825 --> 00:26:09,932
The more prepared the enemy,
the more ruthless I must become.

415
00:26:09,933 --> 00:26:11,332
Though it's not my wish,

416
00:26:11,333 --> 00:26:12,968
if it means getting
more men ashore,

417
00:26:12,969 --> 00:26:14,468
I may have to sacrifice

418
00:26:14,469 --> 00:26:16,800
every last member
of my advance brigade.

419
00:26:16,801 --> 00:26:18,439
Well, if I didn't
know you better, Monty,

420
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,445
I would've thought
you enjoyed saying that.

421
00:26:20,446 --> 00:26:21,937
Yes.

422
00:26:21,938 --> 00:26:23,445
But then again,
I've actually been to war.

423
00:26:25,743 --> 00:26:28,783
Be that as it may,
you're the boss.

424
00:26:28,784 --> 00:26:31,049
I am.

425
00:26:31,050 --> 00:26:34,956
And the final decision on the
timing of D-Day will be mine...

426
00:26:34,957 --> 00:26:36,920
and mine alone.

427
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:42,724
Pray for good weather.

428
00:26:42,725 --> 00:26:44,728
The weather is irrelevant.

429
00:26:44,729 --> 00:26:46,468
We must go,
whatever the weather.

430
00:27:04,683 --> 00:27:06,715
George said that
she came over to him.

431
00:27:06,716 --> 00:27:09,425
She came over to him, right?

432
00:27:23,608 --> 00:27:25,143
Ah.

433
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:27,240
Thought I'd pop in
and identify myself.

434
00:27:27,241 --> 00:27:28,840
Bernard Montgomery.

435
00:27:29,848 --> 00:27:31,612
Oh, yes.

436
00:27:32,774 --> 00:27:35,352
Hello. Uh, James Stagg.

437
00:27:36,416 --> 00:27:37,984
All looking good for Monday?

438
00:27:37,985 --> 00:27:39,822
Um, no.

439
00:27:39,823 --> 00:27:41,123
No, no, no.

440
00:27:41,124 --> 00:27:42,755
Can't say that we are, sir.

441
00:27:43,918 --> 00:27:45,889
Well, can't be that bad, surely.

442
00:27:45,890 --> 00:27:48,690
Well, you know
this country, sir.

443
00:27:48,691 --> 00:27:50,700
Looks can be deceiving.

444
00:27:50,701 --> 00:27:52,629
Hmm.

445
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:55,701
Do not sow doubt, Group Captain.

446
00:27:55,702 --> 00:27:59,110
Battles are lost
when doubt enters the mind.

447
00:27:59,111 --> 00:28:00,602
We'll cross the Channel
on Monday.

448
00:28:00,603 --> 00:28:02,104
That is definite.

449
00:28:04,514 --> 00:28:08,483
If D-Day is canceled,
we will lose this war.

450
00:28:08,484 --> 00:28:10,287
Do you want to be
personally responsible

451
00:28:10,288 --> 00:28:12,488
for losing this war,
Group Captain Stagg?

452
00:28:13,548 --> 00:28:15,018
No, sir.

453
00:28:30,809 --> 00:28:32,368
For Christ's sake.

454
00:28:32,369 --> 00:28:33,701
Okay.

455
00:28:33,702 --> 00:28:35,074
We ready to go?

456
00:28:35,075 --> 00:28:36,341
Go where?

457
00:28:36,342 --> 00:28:37,546
To the meeting.

458
00:28:38,914 --> 00:28:42,976
And when we get to the meeting,
what will we be saying exactly?

459
00:28:42,977 --> 00:28:46,216
Monday will be calm and sunny.

460
00:28:46,217 --> 00:28:49,222
The barometer at Foynes
has been falling all morning.

461
00:28:49,223 --> 00:28:50,555
Yeah, I saw it.

462
00:28:50,556 --> 00:28:52,055
Minimal drop, insignificant.

463
00:28:53,063 --> 00:28:55,223
I think it's significant.

464
00:28:58,693 --> 00:29:00,799
Listen, pal.

465
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,338
I've been working with Ike
for three years.

466
00:29:03,339 --> 00:29:05,867
- I know the guy.
- Mm-hmm. And?

467
00:29:05,868 --> 00:29:08,336
He won't want uncertainty.

468
00:29:08,337 --> 00:29:11,508
Right. Well, then I better
attend the meeting alone.

469
00:29:12,785 --> 00:29:14,214
Are you kidding?

470
00:29:14,215 --> 00:29:15,683
You can't do that.

471
00:29:17,253 --> 00:29:18,747
That's not how that works.

472
00:29:18,748 --> 00:29:20,414
Uh, you can't do that.

473
00:29:20,415 --> 00:29:25,221
The responsibility for
the D-Day forecast is mine,

474
00:29:25,222 --> 00:29:27,590
and it's not one that
I'm going to take lightly.

475
00:29:27,591 --> 00:29:29,196
It's not yours.

476
00:29:29,197 --> 00:29:30,461
Okay? It's ours.

477
00:29:30,462 --> 00:29:32,129
Ours, jointly.

478
00:29:32,130 --> 00:29:35,301
No, no. There's one
chief meteorological officer,

479
00:29:35,302 --> 00:29:36,803
and it's not you.

480
00:29:38,474 --> 00:29:40,510
You won't be attending
the meeting.

481
00:29:44,477 --> 00:29:46,043
Is there anything else?

482
00:29:51,483 --> 00:29:53,252
Asshole.

483
00:29:53,253 --> 00:29:54,920
Irv.

484
00:30:04,830 --> 00:30:07,130
- How much time do I have?
- It's time.

485
00:30:08,163 --> 00:30:09,666
What happened
with Colonel Krick?

486
00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:11,398
Never mind Colonel Krick.

487
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:20,781
Well, they won't like this.

488
00:30:21,910 --> 00:30:23,784
Well, I don't like this.

489
00:30:27,656 --> 00:30:30,626
They're waiting for you,
Group Captain Stagg.

490
00:31:06,221 --> 00:31:08,664
-Yes?
-Sir, he's here.

491
00:31:09,994 --> 00:31:11,997
Excuse me, gentlemen.

492
00:31:15,370 --> 00:31:17,233
Group Captain Stagg.

493
00:31:18,904 --> 00:31:21,368
This is
General Bernard Montgomery,

494
00:31:21,369 --> 00:31:23,508
commander in chief,
Allied land forces.

495
00:31:23,509 --> 00:31:25,479
And here we have

496
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,178
Air Chief Marshal Leigh-Mallory,

497
00:31:27,179 --> 00:31:30,747
commander in chief,
Allied Expeditionary Air Force.

498
00:31:30,748 --> 00:31:32,489
This is Admiral Ramsay,

499
00:31:32,490 --> 00:31:34,655
commander in chief,
Allied naval forces,

500
00:31:34,656 --> 00:31:37,493
and Lieutenant General
Omar Bradley,

501
00:31:37,494 --> 00:31:40,223
commander of
the U.S. First Army.

502
00:31:43,497 --> 00:31:45,027
Where's Colonel Krick?

503
00:31:45,028 --> 00:31:46,265
He's not attending, sir.

504
00:31:46,266 --> 00:31:47,735
Why not?

505
00:31:47,736 --> 00:31:49,371
Well, I believe it's my duty
to brief you all

506
00:31:49,372 --> 00:31:50,772
on the forecast for Monday.

507
00:31:52,005 --> 00:31:54,409
- He should be here.
- Shall I have him fetched?

508
00:31:54,410 --> 00:31:56,238
My forecast will be the same

509
00:31:56,239 --> 00:31:58,114
whether Colonel Krick
attends or not.

510
00:31:58,115 --> 00:31:59,712
All right.

511
00:31:59,713 --> 00:32:02,284
Going forward, I want him here.

512
00:32:02,285 --> 00:32:03,682
Is that understood?

513
00:32:03,683 --> 00:32:05,781
- Certainly, sir.
-Good.

514
00:32:05,782 --> 00:32:07,250
What have you got?

515
00:32:32,682 --> 00:32:35,046
Regrettably, we are faced
with a succession

516
00:32:35,047 --> 00:32:38,953
of two aggressive storms
in the Atlantic

517
00:32:38,954 --> 00:32:42,658
of unprecedented intensity
for this time of year.

518
00:32:42,659 --> 00:32:45,321
My forecast, therefore...

519
00:32:47,463 --> 00:32:49,160
Uh, excuse me.

520
00:32:51,961 --> 00:32:54,604
My forecast, therefore,

521
00:32:54,605 --> 00:32:57,437
for Monday, June 5th,
the proposed D-Day,

522
00:32:57,438 --> 00:32:59,166
is as follows.

523
00:32:59,167 --> 00:33:02,645
Wind, west-northwest, strong,

524
00:33:02,646 --> 00:33:05,447
reaching force six,
possibly force seven.

525
00:33:05,448 --> 00:33:06,876
Force seven? Are you sure?

526
00:33:08,150 --> 00:33:09,779
No.

527
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:11,446
It's an estimate.

528
00:33:14,322 --> 00:33:16,687
Cloud low.

529
00:33:16,688 --> 00:33:18,486
Visibility poor.

530
00:33:19,460 --> 00:33:22,023
Rain very likely.

531
00:33:22,024 --> 00:33:24,765
Waves eight to 12 feet,

532
00:33:24,766 --> 00:33:27,528
possibly with an increase
to 15 feet.

533
00:33:28,767 --> 00:33:31,906
Confidence... poor.

534
00:33:34,343 --> 00:33:35,877
Monday, June 5th

535
00:33:35,878 --> 00:33:38,440
through at least
Tuesday, June 6th, falling...

536
00:33:40,646 --> 00:33:42,377
...to very poor.

537
00:33:44,181 --> 00:33:45,985
Stagg, I-I'm no weatherman,

538
00:33:45,986 --> 00:33:48,626
but have you looked
out a window lately?

539
00:33:48,627 --> 00:33:50,458
Well, the weather
in this part of Europe, sir,

540
00:33:50,459 --> 00:33:52,461
can change very rapidly.

541
00:33:52,462 --> 00:33:56,027
This poor visibility-- how poor?

542
00:33:56,028 --> 00:33:58,493
Less than a mile,
or thereabouts.

543
00:33:59,966 --> 00:34:04,064
Our paratroopers
require a full moon

544
00:34:04,065 --> 00:34:05,975
to land on target.

545
00:34:05,976 --> 00:34:09,139
Spring tides are essential
for landing our watercraft.

546
00:34:09,140 --> 00:34:11,507
Do you realize,
Group Captain Stagg,

547
00:34:11,508 --> 00:34:14,851
that Monday, June 5th is
the only date this calendar year

548
00:34:14,852 --> 00:34:17,244
upon which these conditions
perfectly coincide?

549
00:34:17,245 --> 00:34:18,821
I do realize. Of course, sir.

550
00:34:20,591 --> 00:34:23,319
So, when exactly
do you suggest we go?

551
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,185
Well, as it relates
to the weather,

552
00:34:25,186 --> 00:34:26,858
it's impossible to say.

553
00:34:26,859 --> 00:34:29,192
As to the moon and the tides,

554
00:34:29,193 --> 00:34:32,269
the next opportunity
would be June 18.

555
00:34:33,767 --> 00:34:36,136
Two more weeks? Are you mad?

556
00:34:36,137 --> 00:34:38,935
We can't keep our preparations
secret for that long.

557
00:34:38,936 --> 00:34:40,068
It's just not possible.

558
00:34:40,069 --> 00:34:41,435
Of course it isn't.

559
00:34:41,436 --> 00:34:43,780
The enemy will be ready
and waiting.

560
00:34:43,781 --> 00:34:46,947
They'll slaughter
every single last one of us.

561
00:34:46,948 --> 00:34:50,512
That's an extremely
pessimistic forecast.

562
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:53,089
Are you absolutely certain?

563
00:34:53,090 --> 00:34:54,785
No.

564
00:34:54,786 --> 00:34:56,353
I'm not certain.

565
00:34:57,321 --> 00:35:00,257
I'm confident
that the storms will come.

566
00:35:00,258 --> 00:35:02,760
I can't be absolutely certain
as to when.

567
00:35:02,761 --> 00:35:04,797
Not good enough.

568
00:35:04,798 --> 00:35:06,263
If the storms come tonight,

569
00:35:06,264 --> 00:35:08,564
then they may burn
themselves off by Monday.

570
00:35:08,565 --> 00:35:11,902
If they come tomorrow,
then the weather will be...

571
00:35:11,903 --> 00:35:13,310
exactly as I described.

572
00:35:13,311 --> 00:35:15,245
We must go regardless.

573
00:35:17,943 --> 00:35:19,947
This moment demands judgment

574
00:35:19,948 --> 00:35:22,752
shaped by
actual battlefield experience.

575
00:35:22,753 --> 00:35:25,382
We can't risk another
Exercise Tiger.

576
00:35:27,418 --> 00:35:32,058
My men are ready and primed
for the big match.

577
00:35:32,059 --> 00:35:34,991
Get them onto the beaches
somehow, anyhow.

578
00:35:34,992 --> 00:35:37,064
Leave the rest to me.

579
00:35:47,236 --> 00:35:48,642
Reload me, please.

580
00:35:48,643 --> 00:35:51,111
Let's go. It's time.

581
00:35:54,646 --> 00:35:55,819
Monty.

582
00:36:00,216 --> 00:36:01,989
You can think what you like,

583
00:36:01,990 --> 00:36:05,424
and you can say what you like
to my face,

584
00:36:05,425 --> 00:36:08,991
but don't you ever undermine me
in front of the men again.

585
00:36:08,992 --> 00:36:10,932
Relax, old chap.

586
00:36:10,933 --> 00:36:12,633
It's not as if
I'm telling them anything

587
00:36:12,634 --> 00:36:14,530
they don't already know.

588
00:36:18,972 --> 00:36:21,207
<i>Tiger was a training op.</i>

589
00:36:24,075 --> 00:36:26,179
<i>Dress rehearsal for D-Day.</i>

590
00:36:28,545 --> 00:36:33,153
<i>Half those boys were
fresh out of the draft.</i>

591
00:36:35,187 --> 00:36:38,125
So I called in
live artillery to...

592
00:36:39,826 --> 00:36:41,458
...toughen them up.

593
00:36:43,693 --> 00:36:47,834
<i>Naval command was
supposed to bomb the beach</i>

594
00:36:47,835 --> 00:36:50,335
<i>an hour before we landed.</i>

595
00:36:52,208 --> 00:36:57,375
<i>There were delays, so we had to
push the start time back.</i>

596
00:37:00,546 --> 00:37:05,922
<i>Our radios had a different
frequency from the Brits.</i>

597
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:10,487
<i>Our boys never got the message.</i>

598
00:37:12,992 --> 00:37:15,030
<i>They walked right into it.</i>

599
00:37:17,566 --> 00:37:19,298
<i>One mistake.</i>

600
00:37:20,570 --> 00:37:22,598
Just that one mistake.

601
00:37:28,905 --> 00:37:30,210
Ike.

602
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,411
Ike, look at me.

603
00:37:38,020 --> 00:37:41,755
You have to stop doing this
to yourself.

604
00:37:41,756 --> 00:37:43,520
What's done is done.

605
00:37:44,924 --> 00:37:46,688
When I close my eyes...

606
00:37:49,358 --> 00:37:51,561
...all I can see is failure.

607
00:37:58,974 --> 00:38:00,577
Well, look what the cat
dragged in.

608
00:38:00,578 --> 00:38:02,240
Evening, sir.

609
00:38:02,241 --> 00:38:04,240
Evening, Irv.
You doing all right?

610
00:38:04,241 --> 00:38:05,945
Yeah. Can we talk?

611
00:38:05,946 --> 00:38:07,883
What's on your mind?

612
00:38:07,884 --> 00:38:09,984
Well, sir, I'm not sure

613
00:38:09,985 --> 00:38:11,986
- if you're aware of...
-Ike!

614
00:38:11,987 --> 00:38:13,956
Associated Press
have just announced

615
00:38:13,957 --> 00:38:16,223
that we're landing
in France tomorrow.

616
00:38:18,128 --> 00:38:21,096
CBS, Radio Moscow,
they've already picked it up.

617
00:38:22,426 --> 00:38:24,227
- Get General McClure on this.
- Yep.

618
00:38:24,228 --> 00:38:26,194
I want this cleaned up now.

619
00:38:26,195 --> 00:38:27,601
And I want names.

620
00:38:27,602 --> 00:38:29,137
Understood.

621
00:38:32,741 --> 00:38:34,301
You were saying?

622
00:38:39,109 --> 00:38:40,676
Stagg!

623
00:38:43,412 --> 00:38:45,681
Stagg!

624
00:38:49,790 --> 00:38:51,357
Everyone out!

625
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:00,003
Move!

626
00:39:03,267 --> 00:39:05,635
Close the door behind you.

627
00:39:07,810 --> 00:39:11,344
That, uh, forecast you gave...

628
00:39:13,147 --> 00:39:16,784
...was that the view
of the British

629
00:39:16,785 --> 00:39:19,485
and the American teams?

630
00:39:19,486 --> 00:39:21,958
It was the view of
the Allied Meteorological Unit.

631
00:39:21,959 --> 00:39:24,894
Don't give me
that mealymouthed crap!

632
00:39:24,895 --> 00:39:27,359
Krick told me--
he just told me!--

633
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,524
the weather on Monday
is gonna be fine.

634
00:39:29,525 --> 00:39:32,497
Just fine. Sunny and beautiful!

635
00:39:34,138 --> 00:39:36,665
Well, Colonel Krick had no right
to speak on behalf of...

636
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:39,339
Wrong!
Colonel Krick has every right

637
00:39:39,340 --> 00:39:43,647
to speak up if he thinks
that that will affect

638
00:39:43,648 --> 00:39:45,873
the outcome of the invasion!

639
00:39:47,045 --> 00:39:48,315
Is that clear?!

640
00:39:51,322 --> 00:39:53,015
Is it?!

641
00:39:53,016 --> 00:39:54,321
Yes, sir.

642
00:39:55,926 --> 00:39:59,153
Who do you think
you are, anyway?

643
00:39:59,154 --> 00:40:00,789
Who?

644
00:40:02,260 --> 00:40:05,563
Ordering my man to stand down?

645
00:40:05,564 --> 00:40:09,831
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?

646
00:40:13,204 --> 00:40:15,342
May I respond, sir?

647
00:40:16,514 --> 00:40:18,213
I'm all ears.

648
00:40:21,180 --> 00:40:24,886
As chief meteorological officer,

649
00:40:24,887 --> 00:40:26,881
I take full responsibility

650
00:40:26,882 --> 00:40:29,356
for the recommendation made
at the meeting.

651
00:40:31,790 --> 00:40:36,022
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed

652
00:40:36,023 --> 00:40:40,196
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler

653
00:40:40,197 --> 00:40:42,035
if I spoke alone.

654
00:40:42,036 --> 00:40:45,532
Krick's forecasts have saved

655
00:40:45,533 --> 00:40:47,967
thousands of lives.

656
00:40:47,968 --> 00:40:52,313
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?

657
00:40:55,580 --> 00:40:57,387
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.

658
00:40:57,388 --> 00:40:59,078
Good.

659
00:41:00,282 --> 00:41:02,482
I like luck.

660
00:41:02,483 --> 00:41:04,259
Why was he lucky?

661
00:41:05,260 --> 00:41:07,459
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked

662
00:41:07,460 --> 00:41:11,332
with forecasting
stable weather systems.

663
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:15,805
When patterns are predictable,
then yes, of course,

664
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:18,106
analog charts can be useful.

665
00:41:18,107 --> 00:41:21,341
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.

666
00:41:21,342 --> 00:41:23,571
- Not once.
- Well, of course he didn't.

667
00:41:23,572 --> 00:41:25,610
He was safe as houses there.

668
00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:29,312
The conditions here, sir...

669
00:41:29,313 --> 00:41:31,017
they're not comparable.

670
00:41:31,018 --> 00:41:33,189
Look at the charts, sir.

671
00:41:37,952 --> 00:41:40,494
Here, there are two--
not one but two--

672
00:41:40,495 --> 00:41:43,490
major storms advancing towards
the Normandy coast

673
00:41:43,491 --> 00:41:45,032
even as we speak.

674
00:41:45,033 --> 00:41:47,701
That's nowhere near France.

675
00:41:47,702 --> 00:41:49,271
No, sir.

676
00:41:50,540 --> 00:41:52,032
Not yet.

677
00:41:58,643 --> 00:42:01,184
I want a forecast
the two of you agree on.

678
00:42:02,981 --> 00:42:04,110
Clear?

679
00:42:05,082 --> 00:42:06,189
Yes, sir.

680
00:42:09,356 --> 00:42:11,694
OPW confirmed full retraction.

681
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:13,487
Thank you.

682
00:42:13,488 --> 00:42:15,330
Not at all, sir.

683
00:42:29,070 --> 00:42:32,414
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.

684
00:42:32,415 --> 00:42:35,812
Someone downstairs must have
leaked it, I'm afraid.

685
00:42:37,312 --> 00:42:38,584
Okay.

686
00:42:39,615 --> 00:42:42,188
He gets like that sometimes.

687
00:42:42,189 --> 00:42:43,884
Just let it wash over you.

688
00:42:43,885 --> 00:42:46,357
He won't even remember
what he said.

689
00:42:46,358 --> 00:42:48,055
That how you deal with him?

690
00:42:49,062 --> 00:42:51,024
Ah, he's nothing.

691
00:42:51,025 --> 00:42:53,761
I was an ambulance driver
during the Blitz.

692
00:42:53,762 --> 00:42:55,335
There were so many dead bodies,

693
00:42:55,336 --> 00:42:57,339
we had to use a cinema
as a morgue.

694
00:42:58,603 --> 00:43:01,607
- You just grow a thick skin.
- Hmm.

695
00:43:04,782 --> 00:43:06,610
From ambulance driver

696
00:43:06,611 --> 00:43:09,112
to aide
to the supreme commander.

697
00:43:09,113 --> 00:43:11,182
Mm-hmm.

698
00:43:11,183 --> 00:43:13,854
Driver, secretary,

699
00:43:13,855 --> 00:43:16,122
aide, nurse.

700
00:43:16,123 --> 00:43:17,524
Everything, really.

701
00:43:20,461 --> 00:43:23,431
We've been together
for three years now.

702
00:43:24,627 --> 00:43:28,766
I've been to Morocco, Algeria.

703
00:43:34,140 --> 00:43:35,608
Must be exciting.

704
00:43:38,882 --> 00:43:40,976
It has its moments.

705
00:43:50,523 --> 00:43:53,086
So, these storms
you keep talking about--

706
00:43:53,087 --> 00:43:55,760
how are you so certain
that they're coming?

707
00:43:58,065 --> 00:43:59,632
I'm not certain.

708
00:44:00,831 --> 00:44:02,932
You can't be certain
about the weather.

709
00:44:03,932 --> 00:44:06,576
All we can do is
look to the evidence.

710
00:44:06,577 --> 00:44:11,842
Do you know that weathermen are
traditionally a little boring?

711
00:44:13,909 --> 00:44:16,781
How dare you say that?

712
00:44:19,016 --> 00:44:22,622
Weathermen, maybe, but how can
the weather be boring?

713
00:44:23,925 --> 00:44:25,926
It feeds us.

714
00:44:25,927 --> 00:44:27,759
The weather.

715
00:44:28,733 --> 00:44:30,867
Can destroy us.

716
00:44:30,868 --> 00:44:33,193
Controls our daily life.

717
00:44:35,269 --> 00:44:37,098
I don't think that's boring.

718
00:44:42,371 --> 00:44:46,206
People ask, "When will it rain?
When will the sun come out?"

719
00:44:48,548 --> 00:44:50,485
But what about,
"Why does it rain?"

720
00:44:52,681 --> 00:44:54,489
"Why does the wind blow?"

721
00:44:56,024 --> 00:44:57,492
"What's the wind?"

722
00:45:02,362 --> 00:45:04,327
Excuse me.

723
00:45:04,328 --> 00:45:06,068
Yes. Stagg.

724
00:45:06,069 --> 00:45:07,630
Yes, go ahead. Repeat that.

725
00:45:07,631 --> 00:45:08,734
Zero, zero, one, zero, four...

726
00:45:10,198 --> 00:45:12,403
OFFICER
<i>StratoCu at 2,000 feet.</i>

727
00:45:12,404 --> 00:45:14,344
<i>Tops at 5,000 feet.</i>

728
00:45:26,924 --> 00:45:28,925
Good news or bad?

729
00:45:28,926 --> 00:45:30,523
We're looking good, sir.

730
00:45:30,524 --> 00:45:32,556
I couldn't disagree
with that more.

731
00:45:32,557 --> 00:45:34,260
We're not looking good at all.

732
00:45:34,261 --> 00:45:36,060
You know what, I am done

733
00:45:36,061 --> 00:45:39,596
with this Scotch pessimism
of yours, this Highland gloom.

734
00:45:39,597 --> 00:45:41,062
I'm not from the Highlands.

735
00:45:41,063 --> 00:45:42,603
Well, your Lowland gloom, then.

736
00:45:42,604 --> 00:45:44,803
I'm neither from the Highlands
nor the Lowlands.

737
00:45:45,901 --> 00:45:47,177
Well, wherever it is he's from,

738
00:45:47,178 --> 00:45:48,669
we're in good shape
for Monday, sir.

739
00:45:48,670 --> 00:45:50,271
You see this?

740
00:45:50,272 --> 00:45:52,338
This ridge of high pressure
has already moved in

741
00:45:52,339 --> 00:45:55,776
from the Azores,
just as it did on June 3, 1925.

742
00:45:55,777 --> 00:45:57,420
This is moronic.

743
00:45:58,384 --> 00:46:01,023
This is actually moronic.

744
00:46:01,024 --> 00:46:02,523
Oh, so I'm moronic now?

745
00:46:02,524 --> 00:46:04,016
That's great, Stagg.
That's just great.

746
00:46:04,017 --> 00:46:05,527
Just insult me right to my face.

747
00:46:05,528 --> 00:46:07,126
I'm not insulting you.
I'm just describing you.

748
00:46:07,127 --> 00:46:08,526
As a moron?

749
00:46:08,527 --> 00:46:09,626
All right, enough.

750
00:46:09,627 --> 00:46:11,301
As a confident moron, yes.

751
00:46:11,302 --> 00:46:12,798
Oh, go to hell, Stagg.
You come in here,

752
00:46:12,799 --> 00:46:14,193
you think you're better
than us? -Hey! All right,

753
00:46:14,194 --> 00:46:15,465
all right, all right,
that's enough.

754
00:46:15,466 --> 00:46:18,073
Jesus Christ.

755
00:46:18,074 --> 00:46:20,906
We have three hours.

756
00:46:20,907 --> 00:46:24,403
Three hours until we
take this up with the C-in-Cs.

757
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,143
Now...

758
00:46:29,579 --> 00:46:31,945
...go or not go?

759
00:46:31,946 --> 00:46:33,452
Sir, what we need to consider...

760
00:46:33,453 --> 00:46:35,549
No, no. No, no more considering.

761
00:46:35,550 --> 00:46:36,918
No.

762
00:46:36,919 --> 00:46:39,956
Go or don't go? Go or don't go?

763
00:46:39,957 --> 00:46:41,722
That's it. Which is it?!

764
00:46:41,723 --> 00:46:42,927
We should go, sir.

765
00:46:43,932 --> 00:46:45,166
Stagg.

766
00:46:48,463 --> 00:46:50,169
I'm sorry,
we'll have to call you back.

767
00:46:50,170 --> 00:46:51,265
Understood.

768
00:46:52,266 --> 00:46:54,106
Uh, uh, I-I'm sorry, sir.
It's for you.

769
00:46:54,107 --> 00:46:55,739
Not now.

770
00:46:55,740 --> 00:46:57,436
They say it's extremely urgent.

771
00:47:02,116 --> 00:47:03,917
Yes. Stagg.

772
00:47:03,918 --> 00:47:05,786
Sir, this is
Private Amy Haig from Signals

773
00:47:05,787 --> 00:47:08,251
relaying a message from
the Dunstable Met Office.

774
00:47:08,252 --> 00:47:10,721
Your wife was taken to the
maternity ward of St. Mary's.

775
00:47:10,722 --> 00:47:13,029
- She is pregnant, yes?
- Yes.

776
00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:14,326
Yes, that's correct.

777
00:47:14,327 --> 00:47:15,657
Is the baby here?

778
00:47:15,658 --> 00:47:17,300
Have I missed it?

779
00:47:17,301 --> 00:47:19,502
Well, sir,
they felt you should know:

780
00:47:19,503 --> 00:47:22,000
St. Mary's Hospital was bombed
earlier tonight.

781
00:47:22,001 --> 00:47:24,769
There have been casualties,
sir, and they're...

782
00:47:24,770 --> 00:47:26,971
they're still looking
for your wife.

783
00:47:33,545 --> 00:47:35,342
Group Captain Stagg?

784
00:47:42,456 --> 00:47:44,456
Is there any more information?

785
00:47:44,457 --> 00:47:46,353
Not at this point, sir.

786
00:47:47,824 --> 00:47:49,656
But there's been casualties?

787
00:47:49,657 --> 00:47:51,127
Yes, sir.

788
00:47:58,668 --> 00:48:00,972
Okay. Well, um...

789
00:48:02,509 --> 00:48:05,415
Well, if you have any more...

790
00:48:05,416 --> 00:48:07,841
information,
then let me know-- anything.

791
00:48:07,842 --> 00:48:09,508
Of course, sir.

792
00:48:12,648 --> 00:48:14,189
Thank you.

793
00:48:14,190 --> 00:48:15,822
You're welcome, sir.

794
00:48:18,625 --> 00:48:20,519
There a problem, Stagg?

795
00:48:29,502 --> 00:48:31,865
No. It's irrelevant.

796
00:48:31,866 --> 00:48:34,066
Good.

797
00:48:34,067 --> 00:48:36,106
So, can I give the order?

798
00:48:38,541 --> 00:48:40,576
What?

799
00:48:40,577 --> 00:48:42,479
The order.

800
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,279
For Monday.

801
00:48:45,922 --> 00:48:47,447
No.

802
00:48:49,123 --> 00:48:50,659
N-No?

803
00:48:50,660 --> 00:48:54,392
I mean, so you're saying
don't give the order?

804
00:48:54,393 --> 00:48:56,593
Is that it?

805
00:48:56,594 --> 00:48:58,557
Yeah, that... Yes.

806
00:49:00,702 --> 00:49:04,333
Yes. I'm saying that...
I'm saying...

807
00:49:04,334 --> 00:49:08,710
that the weather on Monday
will be extremely poor.

808
00:49:10,910 --> 00:49:13,077
Let me tell you
my problem, Stagg.

809
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:18,113
Even I can see that

810
00:49:18,114 --> 00:49:22,592
Krick's anticyclone
is on the move,

811
00:49:22,593 --> 00:49:27,091
because it's right here
on the goddamn map.

812
00:49:29,467 --> 00:49:34,164
Now, our final meeting
is at 0400 hours,

813
00:49:34,165 --> 00:49:37,173
and that will be
the absolute last opportunity

814
00:49:37,174 --> 00:49:39,643
to change anything,

815
00:49:39,644 --> 00:49:44,004
so unless you can prove
these storms are inbound,

816
00:49:44,005 --> 00:49:46,480
we invade as planned

817
00:49:46,481 --> 00:49:51,247
Monday, June 5th, 0630 hours.

818
00:49:52,252 --> 00:49:54,256
Yes, sir.

819
00:49:54,257 --> 00:49:56,256
Three hours, gentlemen.

820
00:50:25,213 --> 00:50:26,622
You ready? You ready?

821
00:50:38,897 --> 00:50:41,301

Come with me.

850
00:52:44,490 --> 00:52:45,960
Come on.

851
00:52:47,188 --> 00:52:49,462
We need you back there.

852
00:52:52,102 --> 00:52:53,594
Come on.

853
00:52:57,132 --> 00:52:59,171
You'll be all right.

854
00:53:00,167 --> 00:53:01,943
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

855
00:53:06,415 --> 00:53:08,040
Anything at all.

856
00:53:08,041 --> 00:53:09,478
Yeah.

857
00:53:13,380 --> 00:53:15,550
Uh, this just came through, sir.

858
00:53:46,049 --> 00:53:47,488
I want to say something.

859
00:53:47,489 --> 00:53:49,651
Yeah, what's that?

860
00:53:49,652 --> 00:53:52,224
I think the way
you're treating Stagg is wrong.

861
00:53:53,420 --> 00:53:54,895
I think if you keep it up,

862
00:53:54,896 --> 00:53:56,895
he's gonna crack
and you'll lose him.

863
00:53:56,896 --> 00:53:59,001
Then I'll work with Krick.

864
00:53:59,002 --> 00:54:02,395
You know I like Irv,
but he-he's no match for Stagg.

865
00:54:02,396 --> 00:54:03,902
Since when are you an expert?

866
00:54:03,903 --> 00:54:05,574
Don't talk to me like that.

867
00:54:05,575 --> 00:54:07,543
His wife is in the hospital.

868
00:54:07,544 --> 00:54:09,071
- She's pregnant.
- In labor.

869
00:54:09,072 --> 00:54:10,775
Hospital's bombed, yes.

870
00:54:10,776 --> 00:54:12,543
I know. What else?

871
00:54:12,544 --> 00:54:16,417
He doesn't know if his
pregnant wife is dead or alive.

872
00:54:16,418 --> 00:54:18,017
Uh-huh. Yes.

873
00:54:18,018 --> 00:54:19,881
- Let me find out.
- Find out what?

874
00:54:19,882 --> 00:54:22,123
I can make it to the hospital
and back in a couple of hours.

875
00:54:22,124 --> 00:54:24,119
- How are you gonna do that?
- It'll give him clarity.

876
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:25,561
No. No, I need you here.

877
00:54:25,562 --> 00:54:26,954
It's just a couple of hours.

878
00:54:26,955 --> 00:54:28,359
No.

879
00:54:31,961 --> 00:54:33,694
Dismissed.

880
00:54:37,969 --> 00:54:39,539
Dismissed, Lieutenant.

881
00:54:51,753 --> 00:54:53,251
<i>South Iceland,</i>

882
00:54:53,252 --> 00:54:55,124
<i>seven-tenths StratoCu,
3,000 feet,</i>

883
00:54:55,125 --> 00:54:56,749
<i>southeast force six.</i>

884
00:54:56,750 --> 00:54:58,251
<i>...ten-tenths at 1,500 feet.</i>

885
00:55:08,929 --> 00:55:11,270
So we have warm sector
conditions over Ireland,

886
00:55:11,271 --> 00:55:13,509
and low 9-9-6 is off
the northwest of Scotland.

887
00:55:13,510 --> 00:55:14,676
It's the secondary low.

888
00:55:14,677 --> 00:55:16,409
That's causing a low cloud base.

889
00:55:16,410 --> 00:55:18,672
It's very high dew points
in that warm sector upstream.

890
00:55:18,673 --> 00:55:20,108
No sign of frontal systems
moving north.

891
00:55:20,109 --> 00:55:21,942
Not yet.

892
00:55:21,943 --> 00:55:23,582
- They're about to start, sir.
- Just a couple more minutes.

893
00:55:23,583 --> 00:55:25,086
Please.

894
00:55:25,087 --> 00:55:27,851
I have the 1300 and 1800
surface air maps. Bryant.

895
00:55:27,852 --> 00:55:29,519
It's okay.

896
00:55:32,793 --> 00:55:34,821
We don't need the charts.

897
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,433
We still have
a little time, sir.

898
00:56:14,565 --> 00:56:17,405
Irving, why don't you
start us off, please?

899
00:56:17,406 --> 00:56:19,034
Yes, sir.

900
00:56:19,035 --> 00:56:20,634
Gentlemen...

901
00:56:20,635 --> 00:56:24,570
this is a chart
for June 3, 1925.

902
00:56:24,571 --> 00:56:26,577
You'll notice here and here

903
00:56:26,578 --> 00:56:29,850
a temporary weakening
of pressure over the Azores,

904
00:56:29,851 --> 00:56:31,846
just as we're seeing today.

905
00:56:31,847 --> 00:56:36,554
Now, within 24 hours,
that pressure reasserted itself,

906
00:56:36,555 --> 00:56:39,385
and it cleared the storm
threatening Northern Europe.

907
00:56:39,386 --> 00:56:42,363
As you can see...

908
00:56:42,364 --> 00:56:47,364
...nearly identical patterns
occurred in 1904 and 1925,

909
00:56:47,365 --> 00:56:49,364
and I can give you
plenty of others,

910
00:56:49,365 --> 00:56:52,172
but the bottom line is this:

911
00:56:52,173 --> 00:56:57,074
Tomorrow, Monday, June 5th,
is good to go.

912
00:57:01,275 --> 00:57:03,277
Thank you.

913
00:57:09,150 --> 00:57:11,049
Stagg?

914
00:57:12,057 --> 00:57:13,425
You've got the floor.

915
00:57:19,396 --> 00:57:22,401
Nobody here likes me very much.

916
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,104
I realize that,
and that's all right.

917
00:57:26,105 --> 00:57:28,239
I don't expect you to like me,

918
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,476
but I do want you
to listen to me.

919
00:57:33,049 --> 00:57:36,080
Um, I could stand here
and provide you

920
00:57:36,081 --> 00:57:40,551
with yet more, uh, data--

921
00:57:40,552 --> 00:57:43,324
the latest barometric readings,
the wind speeds,

922
00:57:43,325 --> 00:57:46,362
the new upper-air soundings
that we've collated--

923
00:57:46,363 --> 00:57:50,088
but none of it is going to make
a lick of difference, is it?

924
00:57:52,402 --> 00:57:53,564
Is it?

925
00:57:55,498 --> 00:57:59,231
Because you want
to believe that--

926
00:57:59,232 --> 00:58:02,906
what Colonel Krick's just said,
that it's going to be safe

927
00:58:02,907 --> 00:58:05,948
to land in Normandy tomorrow--
and so that's what you believe.

928
00:58:05,949 --> 00:58:09,113
But everything
that he's just said

929
00:58:09,114 --> 00:58:12,180
is pure, unadulterated...

930
00:58:12,181 --> 00:58:14,184
horseshit.

931
00:58:17,687 --> 00:58:20,927
You can muster
all the tanks and soldiers

932
00:58:20,928 --> 00:58:23,695
and ships that you like.

933
00:58:23,696 --> 00:58:27,699
You can assemble the greatest
armada that ever there was,

934
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:31,866
but if you invade tomorrow,
they're going to be washed away.

935
00:58:34,376 --> 00:58:38,608
Because the storms that
I'm talking about are real,

936
00:58:38,609 --> 00:58:40,609
and the jet stream
that's propelling them

937
00:58:40,610 --> 00:58:44,017
towards the Normandy coast
is real,

938
00:58:44,018 --> 00:58:46,221
and the wrath of nature...

939
00:58:49,955 --> 00:58:51,694
...is real.

940
00:58:51,695 --> 00:58:54,195
And if you ignore it,

941
00:58:54,196 --> 00:58:58,398
then countless men
and countless boys...

942
00:59:08,468 --> 00:59:09,679
That's it.

943
00:59:14,576 --> 00:59:16,317
He's lost his bloody mind.

944
00:59:18,887 --> 00:59:20,816
Why is it horseshit?

945
00:59:21,816 --> 00:59:23,390
Yes, the weather was
as he described

946
00:59:23,391 --> 00:59:27,491
in 1904 and 1925,
but he fails to mention 1916.

947
00:59:27,492 --> 00:59:29,462
June 5th,
the Battle for Mount Sorrel.

948
00:59:29,463 --> 00:59:31,860
Then, as now, there were
areas of high pressure

949
00:59:31,861 --> 00:59:34,532
above the Azores,
but the storms came anyway.

950
00:59:34,533 --> 00:59:36,838
Many people here will remember
that battle.

951
00:59:36,839 --> 00:59:39,599
Chaos. Absolute chaos!

952
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,438
Thousands of lives lost!

953
00:59:41,439 --> 00:59:43,541
Hell on earth! Torrential rain!

954
00:59:43,542 --> 00:59:46,513
He's selecting the data
that suits him

955
00:59:46,514 --> 00:59:49,244
and ignoring the rest,
and we must face the facts.

956
00:59:49,245 --> 00:59:51,216
The facts!

957
00:59:51,217 --> 00:59:53,255
However frightening they may be!

958
00:59:56,692 --> 00:59:58,794
Well, if...

959
00:59:58,795 --> 01:00:01,791
if not Monday, when?

960
01:00:05,032 --> 01:00:06,995
Not before June 18.

961
01:00:06,996 --> 01:00:10,039
Christ on a bike, he's still
talking about the 18th.

962
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,564
The 18th?

963
01:00:11,565 --> 01:00:13,137
There is no 18th.

964
01:00:13,138 --> 01:00:15,841
No 18th. No 18th!

965
01:00:15,842 --> 01:00:17,077
None!

966
01:00:17,078 --> 01:00:18,243
None, none, none, none, none!

967
01:00:18,244 --> 01:00:20,715
The 18th is not an option!

968
01:00:20,716 --> 01:00:22,207
Montgomery.

969
01:00:34,157 --> 01:00:36,325
Bertie...

970
01:00:36,326 --> 01:00:39,768
what is the worst

971
01:00:39,769 --> 01:00:41,963
we can tolerate?

972
01:00:41,964 --> 01:00:45,340
Waves of four to six feet
would be tolerable.

973
01:00:46,942 --> 01:00:49,502
Anything over six feet...

974
01:00:49,503 --> 01:00:51,610
impossible.

975
01:00:53,143 --> 01:00:54,645
Stagg?

976
01:00:54,646 --> 01:00:56,313
I'm estimating waves
of eight to ten feet.

977
01:01:03,585 --> 01:01:05,492
Trafford, worst case?

978
01:01:05,493 --> 01:01:07,423
Cloud base can't be lower
than a thousand feet,

979
01:01:07,424 --> 01:01:09,727
or we're flying blind.

980
01:01:09,728 --> 01:01:12,725
Cloud base will be
at least eight to ten-tenths

981
01:01:12,726 --> 01:01:14,297
below a thousand feet.

982
01:01:14,298 --> 01:01:16,098
Then don't fly.

983
01:01:16,099 --> 01:01:17,964
Ramsay, you get us ashore,
our men will handle the rest.

984
01:01:17,965 --> 01:01:19,742
- Without air cover?
- With or without.

985
01:01:19,743 --> 01:01:21,440
Shut up, Monty.

986
01:01:21,441 --> 01:01:23,476
We need to land,
is what we need to do.

987
01:01:23,477 --> 01:01:25,647
If we don't land,
we have no fourth front,

988
01:01:25,648 --> 01:01:27,373
- and without a fourth front...
-For God's sake, Monty.

989
01:01:27,374 --> 01:01:30,117
With waves of ten feet,
we won't be landing anywhere.

990
01:01:30,118 --> 01:01:31,683
Well, then, let's just start

991
01:01:31,684 --> 01:01:33,285
the blasted Kraut lessons now,
then, shall we,

992
01:01:33,286 --> 01:01:34,685
and all the goose-stepping?

993
01:01:34,686 --> 01:01:36,623
And then maybe one day
years from now,

994
01:01:36,624 --> 01:01:38,619
we can all yodel about
the time that we didn't...

995
01:01:38,620 --> 01:01:40,659
Enough!

996
01:01:50,206 --> 01:01:52,531
Krick, do you have
anything to add?

997
01:01:52,532 --> 01:01:55,208
I'm telling you, sir, next week
is nothing but clear skies.

998
01:01:55,209 --> 01:01:58,236
If you choose to postpone,

999
01:01:58,237 --> 01:02:00,508
you'll regret it
for the rest of your lives.

1000
01:02:03,546 --> 01:02:05,420
I maintain my position.

1001
01:02:10,190 --> 01:02:12,350
And I maintain mine.

1002
01:02:17,691 --> 01:02:19,693
Then so be it.

1003
01:02:19,694 --> 01:02:21,398
D-Day will be postponed.

1004
01:02:36,279 --> 01:02:37,920
Ike.

1005
01:02:37,921 --> 01:02:39,420
I hate to bring this up,

1006
01:02:39,421 --> 01:02:41,221
but we have hundreds
of thousands of troops

1007
01:02:41,222 --> 01:02:42,752
ready to deploy down there.

1008
01:02:42,753 --> 01:02:44,224
Now, they've obviously
been briefed

1009
01:02:44,225 --> 01:02:45,889
<i>as to the invasion plans.</i>

1010
01:02:45,890 --> 01:02:47,856
<i>Yeah,
that's a lot of loose lips.</i>

1011
01:02:47,857 --> 01:02:49,564
Secure all troops.

1012
01:02:49,565 --> 01:02:51,091
- I repeat, secure all troops.
-I repeat,

1013
01:02:51,092 --> 01:02:52,798
<i>all troops must be
detained at once.</i>

1014
01:02:52,799 --> 01:02:54,192
<i>No one leaves
until further notice.</i>

1015
01:02:54,193 --> 01:02:56,328
No one leaves
until further notice.

1016
01:02:56,329 --> 01:02:58,768
I repeat, all troops
must be detained at once.

1017
01:02:58,769 --> 01:03:00,242
All troops must be
detained at once.

1018
01:03:00,243 --> 01:03:02,444
Secure them on board,
no exceptions.

1019
01:03:31,568 --> 01:03:33,167
You did the right thing.

1020
01:03:48,549 --> 01:03:49,986
Jesus.

1021
01:03:53,358 --> 01:03:55,159
Should've gone.

1022
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:56,663

guide us on our way.

Courage to support us

in service to you.

1051
01:08:32,635 --> 01:08:34,265
Amen.

1052
01:08:34,266 --> 01:08:36,536
Amen.

1053
01:09:42,339 --> 01:09:45,512
We can't keep the men
locked up like this, Ike.

1054
01:09:45,513 --> 01:09:47,277
Not for two more weeks.

1055
01:09:49,309 --> 01:09:51,678
Well, what do you want me to do?

1056
01:09:51,679 --> 01:09:54,889
Furlough 300,000 men
with the playbook for D-Day?

1057
01:09:56,121 --> 01:09:58,486
We might as well
tell the Nazis ourselves.

1058
01:09:59,428 --> 01:10:01,720
It's just an observation.

1059
01:10:03,829 --> 01:10:05,999
We will find a way, Trafford.

1060
01:10:06,929 --> 01:10:08,529
Hang in there.

1061
01:10:09,864 --> 01:10:11,004
Yes.

1062
01:10:12,031 --> 01:10:13,237
Sir.

1063
01:10:21,741 --> 01:10:23,848
So L2 and 3
have merged into one system.

1064
01:10:23,849 --> 01:10:25,314
Mm. And a new low

1065
01:10:25,315 --> 01:10:26,717
has intensified
east of Newfoundland.

1066
01:10:26,718 --> 01:10:28,247
Uh, sir?

1067
01:10:28,248 --> 01:10:29,649
Excuse me, Dr. Stagg?

1068
01:10:31,356 --> 01:10:34,225
The cold front appears to be
clearing western Ireland.

1069
01:10:36,990 --> 01:10:38,466
What?

1070
01:10:38,467 --> 01:10:39,967
It's clearing, sir.

1071
01:10:43,539 --> 01:10:45,737
What's the geostrophic gradient?

1072
01:10:45,738 --> 01:10:49,575
Uh, 40 knots north, sir.

1073
01:10:49,576 --> 01:10:51,772
So it's slowing.

1074
01:10:51,773 --> 01:10:54,046
Well, you can't be sure, sir.
We've only had one reading.

1075
01:10:54,047 --> 01:10:55,840
- Where'd it come from?
- Northwest Ireland.

1076
01:10:55,841 --> 01:10:57,781
Tell me specifically,
who... who recorded it?

1077
01:10:57,782 --> 01:10:59,279
What weather base?

1078
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,590
A Miss Maureen Sweeney, sir.

1079
01:11:02,591 --> 01:11:04,387
- Blacksod Point.
- Show me.

1080
01:11:08,896 --> 01:11:10,928
Well, call her back.
Double-check it.

1081
01:11:10,929 --> 01:11:12,433
- Triple-check it.
- Sir.

1082
01:11:12,434 --> 01:11:13,561
Right now, please.

1083
01:11:15,868 --> 01:11:17,596
Can you ask, uh, Teleprinter Ops

1084
01:11:17,597 --> 01:11:19,402
to get me readings
from every base

1085
01:11:19,403 --> 01:11:21,801
within 500 miles
of Blacksod Point? Right now.

1086
01:11:21,802 --> 01:11:24,478
Can I get the latest
climate readings, please?

1087
01:11:39,822 --> 01:11:41,457
Yeah?

1088
01:11:42,924 --> 01:11:44,295
Um...

1089
01:11:46,494 --> 01:11:49,663
This just came in
from Blacksod Point.

1090
01:11:57,809 --> 01:11:59,107
Was it checked?

1091
01:11:59,108 --> 01:12:00,806
They're checking it now.

1092
01:12:01,807 --> 01:12:04,843
Could mean something,
could mean nothing.

1093
01:12:05,982 --> 01:12:07,851
Yes, but which?

1094
01:12:07,852 --> 01:12:09,089
What do you think?

1095
01:12:10,188 --> 01:12:11,958
Why are you asking me?

1096
01:12:11,959 --> 01:12:14,127
Look out the goddamn window,
Stagg.

1097
01:12:14,128 --> 01:12:16,756
I'm asking you because
I need your expertise.

1098
01:12:21,963 --> 01:12:23,334
Please.

1099
01:12:27,301 --> 01:12:28,966
It's the fifth reading.

1100
01:12:41,382 --> 01:12:42,887
It is unusual.

1101
01:12:42,888 --> 01:12:45,488
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it is.

1102
01:12:48,190 --> 01:12:50,229
It's worth looking into.

1103
01:12:51,223 --> 01:12:52,892
Good.

1104
01:12:52,893 --> 01:12:55,400
OFFICER
Heavy frontal cloud, west of 35.

1105
01:12:55,401 --> 01:12:57,236
Blacksod Point
barometer fell overnight,

1106
01:12:57,237 --> 01:12:59,232
then slight rise by afternoon,
front offshore.

1107
01:13:01,535 --> 01:13:04,376
1-0-1-1 millibars.

1108
01:13:04,377 --> 01:13:06,376
Who do you got now?
Who are you speaking with?

1109
01:13:06,377 --> 01:13:07,572
I was just asking him about...

1110
01:13:07,573 --> 01:13:09,578
So, what are you doing now?

1111
01:13:10,579 --> 01:13:14,022
And get the result
for that one, please.

1112
01:13:14,023 --> 01:13:15,854
The low is moving
in the right direction, but...

1113
01:13:15,855 --> 01:13:17,652
- It's too close.
- Yeah.

1114
01:13:18,819 --> 01:13:20,927
Hamilton, when's the next chart
coming out?

1115
01:13:20,928 --> 01:13:22,292
Within the hour, sir.

1116
01:13:22,293 --> 01:13:23,723
Within the hour
is not good enough.

1117
01:13:23,724 --> 01:13:25,495
Can we get...
can we get Dunstable...

1118
01:13:25,496 --> 01:13:27,627
a result from Dun-Dunstable in,
please, soon?

1119
01:13:27,628 --> 01:13:29,433
It should've been with us
an hour ago.

1120
01:13:29,434 --> 01:13:31,068
What's the movement
on the cold front?

1121
01:13:31,069 --> 01:13:32,974
Still 30 knots, sir.

1122
01:13:32,975 --> 01:13:35,104
Have you ever seen
a progression like this?

1123
01:13:35,105 --> 01:13:37,876
Never. Winter, maybe.

1124
01:13:37,877 --> 01:13:39,610
Never this time of year.

1125
01:13:39,611 --> 01:13:41,247
StratoCu
lifting above 2,000 feet.

1126
01:13:41,248 --> 01:13:42,610
Sea surface
temperature, 15 degrees.

1127
01:13:42,611 --> 01:13:43,918
Data points up
to 400 millibars.

1128
01:13:43,919 --> 01:13:45,854
What are you looking for?

1129
01:13:45,855 --> 01:13:47,787
A gap,
because there's one there.

1130
01:13:47,788 --> 01:13:49,349
You call that a gap?

1131
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,057
Yes, I call that a gap.

1132
01:13:51,058 --> 01:13:52,455
That's a very narrow gap.

1133
01:13:52,456 --> 01:13:54,221
A narrow gap is still a gap.
Thank you.

1134
01:13:54,222 --> 01:13:55,689
Do you see a gap?

1135
01:13:55,690 --> 01:13:57,093
I believe there's one
forming, sir, yes.

1136
01:13:57,094 --> 01:13:58,330
Yes, a gap. Thank you.

1137
01:14:02,270 --> 01:14:05,571
So, if this was a normal
forecast, would you call it?

1138
01:14:05,572 --> 01:14:06,906
Yeah.

1139
01:14:06,907 --> 01:14:09,110
I don't know. Uh, probably.

1140
01:14:10,379 --> 01:14:11,607
Yeah.

1141
01:14:12,805 --> 01:14:14,940
The only difference is
it's D-Day.

1142
01:14:16,816 --> 01:14:18,284
Big difference.

1143
01:14:21,986 --> 01:14:23,953
Call Eisenhower.

1144
01:14:43,174 --> 01:14:45,611
You wanted to see me?

1145
01:14:45,612 --> 01:14:46,906
Yes, sir.

1146
01:14:48,817 --> 01:14:50,976
There's been a development, sir.

1147
01:14:50,977 --> 01:14:53,912
It seems the storm
at Newfoundland is slowing.

1148
01:14:53,913 --> 01:14:57,585
We believe it's enough
to provide a... a...

1149
01:14:57,586 --> 01:15:00,425
a window
in the disruptive weather.

1150
01:15:01,496 --> 01:15:02,922
Um...

1151
01:15:05,099 --> 01:15:07,131
Well, if I may,
th-the cigarettes

1152
01:15:07,132 --> 01:15:09,594
are the Newfoundland storm,

1153
01:15:09,595 --> 01:15:11,205
the larger one of three.

1154
01:15:12,207 --> 01:15:14,167
My glasses here are
the two smaller storms.

1155
01:15:14,168 --> 01:15:17,111
Currently, the larger storm is
dragging the two smaller storms

1156
01:15:17,112 --> 01:15:20,210
away from the Normandy coast,
leaving a...

1157
01:15:20,211 --> 01:15:22,516
a gap in the weather of sorts

1158
01:15:22,517 --> 01:15:26,916
just long enough for us to land
in Normandy on Tuesday morning.

1159
01:15:26,917 --> 01:15:28,384
Tuesday?

1160
01:15:28,385 --> 01:15:32,622
As in 26 hours from now,
Tuesday?

1161
01:15:32,623 --> 01:15:34,359
Sir, if you just look
at the latest charts...

1162
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,391
I don't want to look
at your damn charts.

1163
01:15:36,392 --> 01:15:38,694
It's a bunch of gobbledygook.

1164
01:15:38,695 --> 01:15:41,233
What I want is for you
to get down on your knees

1165
01:15:41,234 --> 01:15:42,864
and look me in the eye
and tell me,

1166
01:15:42,865 --> 01:15:45,369
"Tuesday morning, sir,
the sun's got his hat on."

1167
01:15:45,370 --> 01:15:47,340
Because in case
you haven't noticed,

1168
01:15:47,341 --> 01:15:49,506
there's a goddamn hurricane
blowing out there!

1169
01:15:49,507 --> 01:15:51,311
Technically, it's not
a hurricane, sir.

1170
01:15:54,074 --> 01:15:57,147
Sunny weather, you say stop.
Hurricane, you say go.

1171
01:15:57,148 --> 01:15:58,415
Well, no. Well, yes, sir.

1172
01:15:58,416 --> 01:15:59,616
Yes, that's exactly
what I'm saying.

1173
01:16:03,055 --> 01:16:07,024
Send my men into...

1174
01:16:07,025 --> 01:16:09,692
into the storm?

1175
01:16:13,227 --> 01:16:14,796
Yeah.

1176
01:16:18,140 --> 01:16:19,866
They'll never see it coming,
sir, never.

1177
01:16:19,867 --> 01:16:22,243
A gap like this
in the storm-- never.

1178
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,425
You're absolutely sure of that?

1179
01:16:43,399 --> 01:16:47,565
Are you absolutely sure
about that, Group Captain Stagg?

1180
01:16:49,905 --> 01:16:51,932
I'm sure there'll be a gap.

1181
01:16:53,041 --> 01:16:55,567
The weather won't be perfect...

1182
01:16:55,568 --> 01:16:57,443
but it'll do.

1183
01:16:59,113 --> 01:17:01,139
This is your official position?

1184
01:17:04,986 --> 01:17:08,454
My official position is this.

1185
01:17:10,823 --> 01:17:12,458
Go.

1186
01:17:15,963 --> 01:17:17,826
You should go, sir.

1187
01:17:21,396 --> 01:17:22,930
Okay, we'll go.

1188
01:17:25,764 --> 01:17:28,001
D-Day is Tuesday, June 6.

1189
01:17:58,966 --> 01:18:03,210
This is my statement...

1190
01:18:03,211 --> 01:18:06,845
- if all goes well tomorrow.
- Mm-hmm.

1191
01:18:06,846 --> 01:18:09,641
And...

1192
01:18:09,642 --> 01:18:11,308
this one if not.

1193
01:18:17,056 --> 01:18:18,190
- Hey.
- Hmm?

1194
01:18:18,191 --> 01:18:19,888
I've got a surprise for you.

1195
01:18:23,062 --> 01:18:25,025
Rare as nylons.

1196
01:18:37,378 --> 01:18:39,813
I have a good feeling
about tomorrow.

1197
01:18:52,887 --> 01:18:54,860
- You should get some sleep.
- Yes.

1198
01:18:54,861 --> 01:18:56,320
Yeah?

1199
01:19:00,893 --> 01:19:03,602
- 0630 hours.
- 0630 hours.

1200
01:19:06,773 --> 01:19:12,205
My men did all that bravery
and devotion to duty could do.

1201
01:19:12,206 --> 01:19:18,085
If any blame or fault
is attached to the attempt,

1202
01:19:18,086 --> 01:19:21,950
it is mine and mine alone.

1203
01:19:24,454 --> 01:19:25,855
That's what I wrote.

1204
01:19:27,556 --> 01:19:30,255
In case we fail tomorrow.

1205
01:19:31,964 --> 01:19:33,599
