patterns over time.

352
00:20:31,220 --> 00:20:33,127
Okay. Thank you.

353
00:20:33,128 --> 00:20:35,492
I think what we need to do
is establish

354
00:20:35,493 --> 00:20:38,263
what we already know today,
here and now.

355
00:20:38,264 --> 00:20:42,840
Um, we have
two aggressive storms

356
00:20:42,841 --> 00:20:45,169
stretching themselves
across the Atlantic

357
00:20:45,170 --> 00:20:47,178
from Newfoundland to Normandy.

358
00:20:47,179 --> 00:20:48,870
Agreed.

359
00:20:48,871 --> 00:20:51,614
There is an area of
high pressure above the Azores.

360
00:20:51,615 --> 00:20:53,014
That's what interests me.

361
00:20:53,015 --> 00:20:55,046
But it's moving lethargically
and...

362
00:20:55,047 --> 00:20:56,381
Your word, not mine.

363
00:20:56,382 --> 00:20:58,447
I'm sorry, would you like
the floor again?

364
00:20:58,448 --> 00:21:00,881
Me? No, it's your floor.
Go ahead.

365
00:21:03,522 --> 00:21:07,058
We can't just base the forecast
on surface air

366
00:21:07,059 --> 00:21:09,494
and, uh, analog charts.

367
00:21:09,495 --> 00:21:11,798
We must also consider
the jet stream, which...

368
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:12,932
The jet stream?

369
00:21:12,933 --> 00:21:14,399
Yes, the jet stream

370
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,037
currently hurtling its way
towards Europe

371
00:21:16,038 --> 00:21:17,531
and dragging
both the storms with it,

372
00:21:17,532 --> 00:21:18,871
likely spawning a third storm.

373
00:21:18,872 --> 00:21:19,936
That jet stream.

374
00:21:19,937 --> 00:21:21,572
Okay.

375
00:21:24,378 --> 00:21:27,150
Which will inevitably mean
stormier conditions

376
00:21:27,151 --> 00:21:30,216
over the next few days--
tomorrow, Sunday, into Monday.

377
00:21:30,217 --> 00:21:33,582
Disastrous conditions
for an invasion.

378
00:21:33,583 --> 00:21:35,320
Okay, thank you so much,
Dr. Stagg.

379
00:21:35,321 --> 00:21:39,357
Now, this is a chart
for June 2, 1925.

380
00:21:39,358 --> 00:21:41,391
Nearly identical conditions
to today.

381
00:21:41,392 --> 00:21:42,899
Same depressions
in the Atlantic,

382
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:44,898
same high pressures
over the Azores.

383
00:21:44,899 --> 00:21:46,936
Move ahead... three days

384
00:21:46,937 --> 00:21:51,300
to June 5, 1925,
D-Day if you will.

385
00:21:51,301 --> 00:21:55,179
Calm. Sunny weather.

386
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:58,115
1925 is entirely irrelevant
to what we're talking about.

387
00:21:58,116 --> 00:22:03,114
I could've just as easily picked
June 2, 1904, or 1929.

388
00:22:03,115 --> 00:22:04,947
You know as well as I do

389
00:22:04,948 --> 00:22:08,521
that atmospheric conditions
can never be identical ever.

390
00:22:08,522 --> 00:22:12,157
What I do know is who nailed
the forecast at Alamein

391
00:22:12,158 --> 00:22:13,756
for the Western Desert campaign,

392
00:22:13,757 --> 00:22:16,364
for the Tunisian campaign,
for Operation Torch.

393
00:22:16,365 --> 00:22:19,694
I know who got it right
every goddamn time in Cairo.

394

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

709
00:39:51,322 --> 00:39:53,015
Is it?!

710
00:39:53,016 --> 00:39:54,321
Yes, sir.

711
00:39:55,926 --> 00:39:59,153
IKE: Who do you think
you are, anyway?

712
00:39:59,154 --> 00:40:00,789
Who?

713
00:40:02,260 --> 00:40:05,563
Ordering my man to stand down?

714
00:40:05,564 --> 00:40:09,831
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?

715
00:40:13,204 --> 00:40:15,342
May I respond, sir?

716
00:40:16,514 --> 00:40:18,213
I'm all ears.

717
00:40:21,180 --> 00:40:24,886
As chief meteorological officer,

718
00:40:24,887 --> 00:40:26,881
I take full responsibility

719
00:40:26,882 --> 00:40:29,356
for the recommendation made
at the meeting.

720
00:40:31,790 --> 00:40:36,022
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed

721
00:40:36,023 --> 00:40:40,196
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler

722
00:40:40,197 --> 00:40:42,035
if I spoke alone.

723
00:40:42,036 --> 00:40:45,532
Krick's forecasts have saved

724
00:40:45,533 --> 00:40:47,967
thousands of lives.

725
00:40:47,968 --> 00:40:52,313
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?

726
00:40:55,580 --> 00:40:57,387
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.

727
00:40:57,388 --> 00:40:59,078
Good.

728
00:41:00,282 --> 00:41:02,482
I like luck.

729
00:41:02,483 --> 00:41:04,259
Why was he lucky?

730
00:41:05,260 --> 00:41:07,459
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked

731
00:41:07,460 --> 00:41:11,332
with forecasting
stable weather systems.

732
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:15,805
When patterns are predictable,
then yes, of course,

733
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:18,106
analog charts can be useful.

734
00:41:18,107 --> 00:41:21,341
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.

735
00:41:21,342 --> 00:41:23,571
- Not once.
- Well, of course he didn't.

736
00:41:23,572 --> 00:41:25,610
He was safe as houses there.

737
00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:29,312
The conditions here, sir...

738
00:41:29,313 --> 00:41:31,017
they're not comparable.

739
00:41:31,018 --> 00:41:33,189
Look at the charts, sir.

740
00:41:37,952 --> 00:41:40,494
Here, there are two--
not one but two--

741
00:41:40,495 --> 00:41:43,490
major storms advancing towards
the Normandy coast

742
00:41:43,491 --> 00:41:45,032
even as we speak.

743
00:41:45,033 --> 00:41:47,701
That's nowhere near France.

744
00:41:47,702 --> 00:41:49,271
No, sir.

745
00:41:50,540 --> 00:41:52,032
Not yet.

746
00:41:58,643 --> 00:42:01,184
I want a forecast
the two of you agree on.

747
00:42:02,981 --> 00:42:04,110
Clear?

748
00:42:05,082 --> 00:42:06,189
Yes, sir.

749
00:42:09,356 --> 00:42:11,694
KAY:
OPW confirmed full retraction.

750
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:13,487
IKE:
Thank you.

751
00:42:13,488 --> 00:42:15,330
Not at all, sir.

752
00:42:22,671 --> 00:42:23,998
(sighs)

753
00:42:29,070 --> 00:42:32,414
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.

754
00:42:32,415 --> 00:42:35,812
Someone downstairs must have
leaked it, I'm afraid.

755
00:42:37,312 --> 00:42:38,584
Okay.

756
00:42:39,615 --> 00:42:42,188
He gets like that sometimes.

757
00:42:42,189 --> 00:42:43,884
Just let it wash over you.

758
00:42:43,885 --> 00:42:46,357
He won't even remember
what he said.

759
00:42:46,358 --> 00:42:48,055
That how you deal with him?

760
00:42:49,062 --> 00:42:51,024
Ah, he's nothing.

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

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

763
00:42:55,336 --> 00:42:57,339
we had to use a cinema
as a morgue.

764
00:42:58,603 --> 00:43:01,607
- You just grow a thick skin.
- Hmm.

765
00:43:04,782 --> 00:43:06,610
From ambulance driver

766
00:43:06,611 --> 00:43:09,112
to aide
to the supreme commander.

767
00:43:09,113 --> 00:43:11,182
Mm-hmm.

768
00:43:11,183 --> 00:43:13,854
Driver, secretary,

769
00:43:13,855 --> 00:43:16,122
aide, nurse.

770
00:43:16,123 --> 00:43:17,524
Everything, really.

771
00:43:20,461 --> 00:43:23,431
We've been together
for three years now.

772
00:43:24,627 --> 00:43:28,766
I've been to Morocco, Algeria.

773
00:43:34,140 --> 00:43:35,608
Must be exciting.

774
00:43:38,882 --> 00:43:40,976
It has its moments.

775
00:43:50,523 --> 00:43:53,086
So, these storms
you keep talking about--

776
00:43:53,087 --> 00:43:55,760
how are you so certain
that they're coming?

777
00:43:58,065 --> 00:43:59,632
I'm not certain.

778
00:44:00,831 --> 00:44:02,932
You can't be certain
about the weather.

779
00:44:03,932 --> 00:44:06,576
All we can do is
look to the evidence.

780
00:44:06,577 --> 00:44:11,842
Do you know that weathermen are
traditionally a little boring?

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

782
00:44:19,016 --> 00:44:22,622
Weathermen, maybe, but how can
the weather be boring?

783
00:44:23,925 --> 00:44:25,926
It feeds us.

784
00:44:25,927 --> 00:44:27,759
The weather.

785
00:44:28,733 --> 00:44:30,867
Can destroy us.

786
00:44:30,868 --> 00:44:33,193
Controls our daily life.

787
00:44:35,269 --> 00:44:37,098
I don't think that's boring.

788
00:44:42,371 --> 00:44:46,206
People ask, "When will it rain?
When will the sun come out?"

789
00:44:48,548 --> 00:44:50,485
But what about,
"Why does it rain?"

790
00:44:52,681 --> 00:44:54,489
"Why does the wind blow?"

791
00:44:56,024 --> 00:44:57,492
"What's the wind?"

792
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:02,361
(phone ringing)

793
00:45:02,362 --> 00:45:04,327
Excuse me. (clears throat)

794
00:45:04,328 --> 00:45:06,068
Yes. Stagg.

795
00:45:06,069 --> 00:45:07,630
Yes, go ahead. Repeat that.

796
00:45:07,631 --> 00:45:08,734
Zero, zero, one, zero, four...

We're looking good, sir.

I couldn't disagree
with that more.

We're not looking good at all.

You know what, I am done

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

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

we're in good shape
for Monday, sir.

813

You see this?

814
00:45:50,272 --> 00:45:52,338
This ridge of high pressure
has already moved in

815
00:45:52,339 --> 00:45:55,776

This is moronic.

This is actually moronic.

Oh, so I'm moronic now?

819
00:46:02,524 --> 00:46:04,016
That's great, Stagg.
That's just great.

820
00:46:04,017 --> 00:46:05,527
Just insult me right to my face.

821
00:46:05,528 --> 00:46:07,126
I'm not insulting you.
I'm just describing you.

All right, enough.

As a confident moron, yes.

Oh, go to hell, Stagg.
You come in here,

We have three hours.

Three hours until we
take this up with the C-in-Cs.

Now...

832
00:46:29,579 --> 00:46:31,945
...go or not go?

Sir, what we need to consider...

No, no. No, no more considering.

835
00:46:35,550 --> 00:46:36,918
No.

836

Go or don't go? Go or don't go?

Uh, uh, I-I'm sorry, sir.
It's for you.

Not now.

They say it's extremely urgent.

Yes. Stagg.

847
00:47:03,918 --> 00:47:05,786

Private Amy Haig from Signals

848
00:47:05,787 --> 00:47:08,251
relaying a message from
the Dunstable Met Office.

849
00:47:08,252 --> 00:47:10,721
Your wife was taken to the
maternity ward of St. Mary's.

850
00:47:10,722 --> 00:47:13,029
- She is pregnant, yes?
- Yes.

851
00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:14,326
Yes, that's correct.

852
00:47:14,327 --> 00:47:15,657
Is the baby here?

853
00:47:15,658 --> 00:47:17,300
Have I missed it?

854
00:47:17,301 --> 00:47:19,502
Well, sir,
they felt you should know:

855
00:47:19,503 --> 00:47:22,000
St. Mary's Hospital was bombed
earlier tonight.

856
00:47:22,001 --> 00:47:24,769
There have been casualties,
sir, and they're...

857
00:47:24,770 --> 00:47:26,971
they're still looking
for your wife.

858
00:47:33,545 --> 00:47:35,342
Group Captain Stagg?

859
00:47:42,456 --> 00:47:44,456
Is there any more information?

860
00:47:44,457 --> 00:47:46,353
Not at this point, sir.

861
00:47:47,824 --> 00:47:49,656
But there's been casualties?

862

Yes, sir.

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

864
00:48:02,509 --> 00:48:05,415
Well, if you have any more...

865
00:48:05,416 --> 00:48:07,841
information,
then let me know-- anything.

866
00:48:07,842 --> 00:48:09,508
Of course, sir.

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

IKE:
Good.

872
00:48:34,067 --> 00:48:36,106
So, can I give the order?

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

874
00:48:40,577 --> 00:48:42,479
The order.

875
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,279
For Monday.

876
00:48:45,922 --> 00:48:47,447
No.

877
00:48:49,123 --> 00:48:50,659
N-No?

878
00:48:50,660 --> 00:48:54,392
I mean, so you're saying
don't give the order?

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

Yes. I'm saying that...
I'm saying...

882

that the weather on Monday
will be extremely poor.

883

IKE: Let me tell you
my problem, Stagg.

884

Even I can see that

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

886
00:49:22,593 --> 00:49:27,091
because it's right here
