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.

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...
797
00:45:10,198 --> 00:45:12,403
OFFICER (over radio):
StratoCu at 2,000 feet.

Tops at 5,000 feet.

♪ ♪
802
00:45:26,924 --> 00:45:28,925
IKE:
Good news or bad?
803
00:45:28,926 --> 00:45:30,523
We're looking good, sir.
804
00:45:30,524 --> 00:45:32,556
I couldn't disagree
with that more.
805
00:45:32,557 --> 00:45:34,260
We're not looking good at all.
806
00:45:34,261 --> 00:45:36,060
You know what, I am done
807
00:45:36,061 --> 00:45:39,596
with this Scotch pessimism
of yours, this Highland gloom.
808
00:45:39,597 --> 00:45:41,062
I'm not from the Highlands.
809
00:45:41,063 --> 00:45:42,603
IRVING:
Well, your Lowland gloom, then.
810
00:45:42,604 --> 00:45:44,803
I'm neither from the Highlands
nor the Lowlands.
811
00:45:45,901 --> 00:45:47,177
Well, wherever it is he's from,
812
00:45:47,178 --> 00:45:48,669
we're in good shape
for Monday, sir.
813
00:45:48,670 --> 00:45:50,271
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
from the Azores,
just as it did on June 3, 1925.
816
00:45:55,777 --> 00:45:57,420
JAMES:
This is moronic.
817
00:45:58,384 --> 00:46:01,023
This is actually moronic.
818
00:46:01,024 --> 00:46:02,523
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.
822
00:46:07,127 --> 00:46:08,526
As a moron?
823
00:46:08,527 --> 00:46:09,626
IKE:
All right, enough.
824
00:46:09,627 --> 00:46:11,301
As a confident moron, yes.
825
00:46:11,302 --> 00:46:12,798
Oh, go to hell, Stagg.
You come in here,
826
00:46:12,799 --> 00:46:14,193
- you think you're better
than us? -Hey! All right,
827
00:46:14,194 --> 00:46:15,465
all right, all right,
that's enough.
828
00:46:15,466 --> 00:46:18,073
Jesus Christ.
829
00:46:18,074 --> 00:46:20,906
We have three hours.
830
00:46:20,907 --> 00:46:24,403
Three hours until we
take this up with the C-in-Cs.
831
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,143
Now...
832
00:46:29,579 --> 00:46:31,945
...go or not go?
833
00:46:31,946 --> 00:46:33,452
Sir, what we need to consider...
834
00:46:33,453 --> 00:46:35,549
No, no. No, no more considering.
835
00:46:35,550 --> 00:46:36,918
No.
836
00:46:36,919 --> 00:46:39,956
Go or don't go? Go or don't go?
837
00:46:39,957 --> 00:46:41,722
- That's it. Which is it?!
- (phone ringing)
838
00:46:41,723 --> 00:46:42,927
We should go, sir.
839
00:46:43,932 --> 00:46:45,166
Stagg.
840
00:46:45,167 --> 00:46:47,228

00:46:48,463 --> 00:46:50,169
ANDREW (quietly): I'm sorry,
we'll have to call you back.
842
00:46:50,170 --> 00:46:51,265
Understood.
843
00:46:52,266 --> 00:46:54,106
Uh, uh, I-I'm sorry, sir.
It's for you.
844
00:46:54,107 --> 00:46:55,739
Not now.
845
00:46:55,740 --> 00:46:57,436
They say it's extremely urgent.
846
00:47:02,116 --> 00:47:03,917
Yes. Stagg.
847
00:47:03,918 --> 00:47:05,786
(over phone): Sir, this is
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
00:47:49,657 --> 00:47:51,127
Yes, sir.
863
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.
867
00:48:12,648 --> 00:48:14,189
Thank you.
868
00:48:14,190 --> 00:48:15,822
You're welcome, sir.
869
00:48:18,625 --> 00:48:20,519
IKE:
There a problem, Stagg?
870
00:48:29,502 --> 00:48:31,865
No. It's irrelevant.
871
00:48:31,866 --> 00:48:34,066
IKE:
Good.
872
00:48:34,067 --> 00:48:36,106
So, can I give the order?
873
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?
879
00:48:54,393 --> 00:48:56,593
Is that it?
880
00:48:56,594 --> 00:48:58,557
Yeah, that... Yes.
881
00:49:00,702 --> 00:49:04,333
Yes. I'm saying that...
I'm saying...
882
00:49:04,334 --> 00:49:08,710
that the weather on Monday
will be extremely poor.
883
00:49:10,910 --> 00:49:13,077
IKE: Let me tell you
my problem, Stagg.
884
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:18,113
Even I can see that
885
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
on the goddamn map.
887
00:49:29,467 --> 00:49:34,164
Now, our final meeting
is at 0400 hours,
888
00:49:34,165 --> 00:49:37,173
