SPEAKER: Order!

3
00:01:33,051 --> 00:01:35,463
SPEAKER: Order! Order!

00:01:35,971 --> 00:01:39,008
CLEMENT ATTLEE:
Mr. Speaker! Mr. Speaker!

00:01:39,224 --> 00:01:42,136
SPEAKER: Order!
Theleader”

6
00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:43,592
Order.

7
00:01:43,687 --> 00:01:46,724
The leader of the Opposition,
Clement Attlee.

8
00:01:47,065 --> 00:01:49,056
Mr. Speaker.

9
00:01:49,818 --> 00:01:53,185
It seems that
I have not been
clear enough.

10
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:57,739
Then let me leave no doubt

11
00:01:58,410 --> 00:02:01,447
about my feelings regarding
Mr. Chamberlain's future

12
00:02:01,538 --> 00:02:03,028
as prime minister.

13
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,364
SPEAKER: All right,
honorable gentlemen!

14
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:08,371
Give way! Give way!

15
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:09,918
Give way!

16
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:14,248
Owing to his years
of inactivity

17
00:02:14,343 --> 00:02:16,675
and incompetence,

18
00:02:16,762 --> 00:02:20,175
we find him
personally responsible...

19
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:25,635
personally responsible
for leaving this nation

20
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:29,062
ruinously unprepared
to face the present Nazi peril.

21
00:02:33,445 --> 00:02:36,152
SPEAKER: Order! Order!
Sit down!

22
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:39,026
Shame on you! Shame!

23
00:02:39,117 --> 00:02:41,779
ATTLEE: We are at war,
Mr. Speaker...

24
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:46,364
at war. And leaving aside
whether he is fit

25
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:51,543
to be a leader
in peacetime, he has
proved himself incapable

26
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:53,621
of leading us in wartime!

27
00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:56,423
Sit down!

28
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,131
SPEAKER: Order! Order!

29
00:03:04,393 --> 00:03:06,429
I said, "Order!"

30
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,809
Therefore, in the
national interest,

31
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:15,267
we, the Opposition,
are willing to enter into

32
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:19,981
a grand coalition
with the ruling
Conservative Party...

33
00:03:20,283 --> 00:03:22,194
so-called...

34
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:25,277
Order! Order!
but not...

35
00:03:25,372 --> 00:03:27,988
and I stress never...
under the leadership

36
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:29,948
of Mr. Chamberlain,
who has lost

37
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:31,704
the confidence
of this House.

38
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:35,962
In the country's interest, man,

39
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:40,543
resign, step down,
and let us find
a new leader.

40
00:03:40,637 --> 00:03:43,174
Sit down. Shame on you.

41
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:46,473
Shame.
You've got some nerve!

42
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,391
Where's Winston?

43
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,762
Ensuring his fingerprints
are not on the murder weapon.

44
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:54,727
SPEAKER: Order!

45
00:03:57,696 --> 00:03:59,937
As the Opposition refuse

46
00:04:00,031 --> 00:04:02,818
to join any government
headed by me,

47
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:05,400
we must now select
my successor,

48
00:04:05,495 --> 00:04:08,362
someone with new strength

49
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:11,449
to form
a coalition government.

50
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,328
I will step down tomorrow,

51
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:21,170
but, I did want my own party,

52
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:23,593
the gentlemen I most respect,

53
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,300
to know first.

54
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,260
Yeah.

55
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:33,349
And it must be Halifax.
Hear, hear.

56
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,646
There's no question.

57
00:04:34,983 --> 00:04:37,144
Our foreign secretary.
Halifax.

58
00:04:37,235 --> 00:04:38,645
Yeah, of course.

59
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:41,941
No contest. Halifax.

60
00:04:42,032 --> 00:04:43,238
Thank you, gentlemen.

61
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:44,656
I appreciate
your confidence in me.

62
00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:47,610
However, my time
has not yet come.

63
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:50,738
Then who?

64
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:53,615
But, on whomever
the task may fall,

65
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:57,294
he shall be required
to explore every avenue.

66
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,871
Including that
of diplomatic talks.

67
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:04,505
Indeed. Towards
the restoration
of peace in Europe.

68
00:05:04,596 --> 00:05:06,837
Absolutely.
Hear, hear.

69
00:05:06,932 --> 00:05:09,890
Well, gentlemen,
there is only
one candidate...

70
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:13,218
only one man
the Opposition will accept.

71
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:15,804
Oh, no. Oh, surely not.
God, has it come to that?

72
00:05:15,899 --> 00:05:17,059
No,no,no.

73
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:20,108
No, this is totally absurd.

74
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:32,195
And if he stretches out
his hand

75
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:33,530
and says, "Gimme,"

76
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:35,365
you need to anticipate
what he wants.

77
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,371
Black pen, red pen, paper

78
00:05:37,462 --> 00:05:39,544
or "clop"...
that's his hole punch.

79
00:05:40,924 --> 00:05:43,336
How selfish to resign,
time like this.

80
00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:44,461
Do you think they'll take me

81
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:46,168
to Downing Street
if he gets the job?

82
00:05:46,263 --> 00:05:48,629
Not after that spotted dick
you served last week, eh?

83
00:05:48,723 --> 00:05:52,432
He mumbles,
so it's almost impossible
to catch everything.

84
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:56,011
Be prepared to type fast...
short bursts and double-spaced.

85
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:58,438
He hates single-spaced.
Hates it.

86
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:00,315
Good luck.

87
00:06:22,007 --> 00:06:24,544
To the French ambassador.

88
00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:30,174
With German forces...

89
00:06:31,474 --> 00:06:33,260
crossing into Holland...

90
00:06:33,685 --> 00:06:35,676
Holland alone...

91
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:37,597
Come on. Telegram.

92
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:39,599
Holland alone...

93
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:43,183
req uests reassu rance

94
00:06:43,987 --> 00:06:46,979
that French forces
will now move...

95
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:49,068
No, move at once.

96
00:06:49,534 --> 00:06:52,571
Into, to protect Belgium.

97
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:54,323
Stop.

98
00:06:58,084 --> 00:06:59,995
French ambassador, sir.

99
00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:05,463
Monsieur Ambassador.

100
00:07:08,053 --> 00:07:09,042
Oh.

101
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:14,305
They've already
invaded Belgium?

102
00:07:15,352 --> 00:07:17,889
Holland and Belgium?

103
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,019
I will convey your plea
to the prime minister
atonce.

104
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:28,562
Yes. The situation
is still very confused.

105
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:32,903
Yes.

106
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:34,947
Good-bye.

107
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:39,080
"To the French ambassador.

108
00:07:39,209 --> 00:07:40,289
With German..."
No, scrap that.

109
00:07:40,418 --> 00:07:42,500
New telegram.

110
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:44,373
To General lsmay.

111
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:46,170
ln...

112
00:07:46,257 --> 00:07:48,339
What is it now?
Your son.

113
00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:51,793
Randolph, quickly.

114
00:07:54,057 --> 00:07:55,843
No, last night, they said

115
00:07:55,934 --> 00:07:57,720
I might be made
prime minister today,

116
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,893
but that-that was yesterday.

117
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:01,891
Let's see what happens today.

118
00:08:01,982 --> 00:08:04,314
Yeah? Let's see what,

119
00:08:04,401 --> 00:08:07,234
let's see what
Neville does today.

120
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:12,356
Yes.

121
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:13,860
Thank you, my boy.

122
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:15,488
Yes.

123
00:08:15,578 --> 00:08:17,785
Yes. Keep buggering on.

124
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:23,249
Where, now...

125
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:24,576
"To General lsmay."

126
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:26,332
Ah, General lsmay.

127
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:27,959
Yeah. Sawyers.

128
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:30,040
Get rid of this, will you?

129
00:08:35,056 --> 00:08:37,172
To General lsmay.

130
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:42,144
In light of today's events,

131
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:45,768
the time is ripe...

132
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:51,523
for many preparations
to be...

133
00:08:51,614 --> 00:08:53,605
Are you

134
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:56,566
striking those keys
in a normal fashion?

135
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:59,277
It's awfully loud. I can't...
I can't hear myself think.

136
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,578
Read it back.

137
00:09:01,124 --> 00:09:03,490
"To General lsmay.

138
00:09:03,585 --> 00:09:06,167
In the light
of today's events,
the time is right..."

139
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:08,711
"Ripe"! Not "right"!

140
00:09:08,798 --> 00:09:10,709
God's teeth, girl.

141
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,711
I said "ripe"!

142
00:09:12,802 --> 00:09:14,212
Ripe! Ripe!

143
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:15,464
Last sentence.

144
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:18,388
"The time is ripe." Puh.

145
00:09:18,475 --> 00:09:19,965
For...
"For..."

146
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,096
For...
"Man-Many, many, many..."

147
00:09:22,187 --> 00:09:23,597
Many, many, many, many, many.

148
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:26,521
How many "many"s
did you write,
you nincompoop?

149
00:09:26,608 --> 00:09:28,519
One "many." For...

150
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:32,774
"For many preparations
to be made."

151
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:37,361
Single-spaced.
Single-spaced!

152
00:09:37,619 --> 00:09:39,735
Were you not briefed,
younglady?

153
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:41,035
Single-spaced!

154
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:42,987
Someone set it on
single-space, and...

155
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,289
Then why did you persist?

156
00:09:44,375 --> 00:09:46,741
Well, I...
Oh, goddamn! Tell...

157
00:09:46,836 --> 00:09:48,372
Tell Evans to send me someone

158
00:09:48,463 --> 00:09:51,045
who can get it right
the first time!

159
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:52,417
Go on! Out!

160
00:09:53,176 --> 00:09:54,382
"Right"!

161
00:10:01,643 --> 00:10:02,928
He shouted at you.

162
00:10:03,019 --> 00:10:04,759
Did he shout at you?
No.

163
00:10:04,896 --> 00:10:06,477
He can be an awful brute!
I'm...

164
00:10:06,564 --> 00:10:08,896
I made too many mistakes.
I think you were nervous,

165
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:10,564
and he has a knack
for drawing out
the very worst

166
00:10:10,652 --> 00:10:11,892
in those who are trying
to help him the most.

167
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:12,975
No, no, it's not...
It's not him.

168
00:10:13,071 --> 00:10:14,186
It's me. He's... he's...

169
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,396
He's a man, like any other.

170
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:20,321
Come on. What you doing?

171
00:10:20,411 --> 00:10:21,742
CLEMMIE: Dearest.

172
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:23,866
The War Cabinet's been called.

173
00:10:24,207 --> 00:10:26,994
Bloody cat's under
the bed again.
CLEMMIE: My darling?

174
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:28,666
WINSTON: Tango.
May I tell you something

175
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:30,414
I feel you really
ought to know?

176
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:37,542
l have noticed
a recent deterioration
in your manner.

177
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,798
You're not as kind
as you used to be.

178
00:10:40,265 --> 00:10:42,096
You've become rough.

179
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,883
And sarcastic
and overbearing
and rude.

180
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,639
Oh, is this about
the new girl?

181
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:49,429
If the king does ask you
to become prime minister...

182
00:10:49,524 --> 00:10:50,855
We don't know that for sure.

183
00:10:50,942 --> 00:10:53,354
I don't want you
to be disliked.

184
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:55,309
More than I already am?

185
00:10:55,405 --> 00:10:59,239
My darling,
you are on the brink

186
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:01,111
of having tremendous power,

187
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:02,567
surpassed only by that
of the king,

188
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:05,995
and with such power
you really must try
and be more kind.

189
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:09,164
And, if possible, calm.

190
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:16,418
I want others to love
and respect you, as I do.

191
00:11:25,727 --> 00:11:27,388
Telegram for Mr. Churchill.

192
00:11:27,478 --> 00:11:29,014
Excuse me?

193
00:11:29,814 --> 00:11:30,803
I'm not...

194
00:11:49,334 --> 00:11:51,290
...troops have
destroyed all bridges

195
00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:53,959
of the Isle and Meuse rivers.

196
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:57,039
This is the BBC Home Service.

197
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,875
Here is a short news bulletin.

198
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:02,965
The German army invaded

199
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:06,093
Holland and Belgium
early this morning, by land...

200
00:12:06,184 --> 00:12:07,594
There's a telegram.
...and by landings

201
00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:09,095
from parachutes.

202
00:12:09,187 --> 00:12:11,519
The armies
of the Low Countries

203
00:12:11,606 --> 00:12:12,937
are resisting.

204
00:12:13,524 --> 00:12:15,264
An appeal for help
has been made

205
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,850
to the Allied governments...

206
00:12:16,945 --> 00:12:18,731
It's from the Palace.
...and Brussels says

207
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:22,234
that Allied troops
are moving to their support.

208
00:12:23,201 --> 00:12:26,739
A hundred war planes
were seen over Brussels,

209
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,694
and it is now reported

210
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:31,156
that in the first raid
over Brussels,

211
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:34,869
several hundred people
were killed and wounded,

212
00:12:34,963 --> 00:12:37,579
and several buildings
destroyed.

213
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:40,999
Five minutes ago,

214
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:43,085
the Air Ministry announced

215
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:45,636
that in the early hours
of this morning...

216
00:12:45,723 --> 00:12:49,090
Thank you, Miss?

217
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:50,967
Layton.

218
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:55,810
You're shaking.
So are you.

219
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:59,313
You... you from excitement,
I from terror.

220
00:12:59,404 --> 00:13:01,895
You've wanted this
your entire adult life.

221
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:04,948
No. Since the nursery.
But do the public want me?

222
00:13:05,034 --> 00:13:07,241
It's your own party to whom
you'll have to prove yourself.

223
00:13:07,328 --> 00:13:10,570
I'm getting thejob only
because the ship is sinking.

224
00:13:10,665 --> 00:13:13,247
lt-lt's not a gift,
it's revenge.

225
00:13:13,334 --> 00:13:15,916
Let them see your true
qualities, your courage.

226
00:13:16,004 --> 00:13:18,165
My poorjudgment.
No, your lack of vanity.

227
00:13:18,256 --> 00:13:20,247
And my iron will.
Your sense of humor.

228
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:21,672
Ho,ho,ho.

229
00:13:23,094 --> 00:13:25,085
Now go.

230
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:26,544
Go?
Be...

231
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:27,674
Be what?

232
00:13:27,765 --> 00:13:29,175
Be yourself.

233
00:13:32,103 --> 00:13:33,183
Myself?

234
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,728
Which self should I

235
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,651
be today?

236
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:45,821
One should have had power
when a young man.

237
00:13:45,908 --> 00:13:47,398
When wits were sharp.

238
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:48,949
Sinews strong.

239
00:13:49,037 --> 00:13:50,368
Oh, well.

240
00:13:50,455 --> 00:13:52,195
Lead on, Macduff.

241
00:13:52,957 --> 00:13:55,243
When youth departs,

242
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:58,164
may wisdom prove enough.

243
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:52,464
Hardly seems like
there's a war on at all.

244
00:14:54,185 --> 00:14:57,052
Do you know
I've never ridden
a bus?

245
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,057
Sir?

246
00:14:59,649 --> 00:15:01,389
I've never queued for bread.

247
00:15:03,027 --> 00:15:05,268
I believe I can boil an egg.

248
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:07,816
But only because
I've seen it done.

249
00:15:10,034 --> 00:15:12,901
The only time I tried
riding the Underground

250
00:15:12,995 --> 00:15:14,826
was during the General Strike.

251
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:18,122
Clemmie dropped me off
at South Kensington station.

252
00:15:18,209 --> 00:15:20,450
I went down but got lost.

253
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:23,161
I came straight back up!

254
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:24,871
It was awful.

255
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:29,167
Why not Halifax?
I favor Halifax.

256
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:30,593
I wanted Halifax.

257
00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:32,753
The Lords wanted Halifax.

258
00:15:33,224 --> 00:15:36,136
Perhaps, Halifax
wanted Halifax.

259
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:39,803
Then why have I been forced
to send for Churchill?

260
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:42,813
Because he is the only
member of our party

261
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:44,856
who has the support
of the Opposition.

262
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:48,311
His record
is a litany
of catastrophe.

263
00:15:49,115 --> 00:15:51,572
Gallipoli, 25,000 dead,

264
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:54,241
the India policy,
the Russian Civil War,

265
00:15:54,537 --> 00:15:55,902
the Gold Standard,

266
00:15:57,457 --> 00:16:01,416
the abdication
and now this Norway adventure.

267
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:02,958
What's that, 1,800 men?

268
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:05,536
One aircraft carrier,
two cruisers,

269
00:16:05,631 --> 00:16:07,838
seven destroyers
and a submarine.

270
00:16:07,925 --> 00:16:11,383
Winston lacks judgment.
He was right about Hitler.

271
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:14,304
Well, even a stopped clock
is right twice a day.

272
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:21,351
First Lord of the Admiralty,
Mr. Winston Churchill.

273
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:22,474
Early.

274
00:16:22,732 --> 00:16:23,721
Keen.

275
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,856
I accept your resignation,

276
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:33,109
but I want you to know how...

277
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,984
cruelly I think
you've been treated.

278
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:39,078
Thank you, Your Majesty.

279
00:16:43,211 --> 00:16:44,701
Oh, this way, My Lord.

280
00:17:23,334 --> 00:17:24,494
Your Majesty.

281
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:25,825
Mr. Churchill.

282
00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:28,494
I believe you know

283
00:17:30,174 --> 00:17:32,881
why I have
asked you here today.

284
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:35,631
Sir, I simply cannot
imagine why.

285
00:17:40,226 --> 00:17:43,013
It is my duty to invite you

286
00:17:43,104 --> 00:17:45,516
to take up the position
of prime minister

287
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:47,471
of this United Kingdom.

288
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,982
Will you form a government?

289
00:17:51,028 --> 00:17:52,188
|wi||.

290
00:17:52,697 --> 00:17:53,732
Very well.

291
00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:10,745
Well, that was quite easy.

292
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,464
Yes, it was.

293
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:22,177
IbeHeve
we are to meet regularly.

294
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:24,516
Once a week, I'm afraid.

295
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:25,639
How is...

296
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:29,347
How are you for Mondays?

297
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:32,688
I shall endeavor
to be available

298
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:34,564
on Mondays.
4:00?

299
00:18:34,655 --> 00:18:36,316
l nap at4:00.

300
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,324
Is that permissible?

301
00:18:40,661 --> 00:18:42,492
No. But necessary.

302
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:43,695
I work late.

303
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:45,780
Then perhaps lunchtime.

304
00:18:46,167 --> 00:18:47,498
Lunch?

305
00:18:48,169 --> 00:18:49,500
Mondays?

306
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:55,005
Your Majesty.

307
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:56,332
Prime Minister.

308
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:24,864
Can we get any closer?
Mr. Churchill!

309
00:19:25,873 --> 00:19:28,239
Good evening, gentlemen.

310
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:29,665
Mr. Churchill,
welcome to Number Ten.

311
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:31,037
Thank you, sir.

312
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:32,834
Mr. Churchill,
what's your agenda?

313
00:19:32,922 --> 00:19:36,460
The agenda?
A glass of Pol Roger.

314
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:38,336
Cheers.
Over here, sir!

315
00:19:38,427 --> 00:19:39,792
You'll-you'll have
your pictures.

316
00:19:39,887 --> 00:19:41,172
Prime Minister.

317
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:42,469
Anthony.

318
00:19:42,556 --> 00:19:44,296
How is the king?

319
00:19:44,392 --> 00:19:45,757
Anxious.

320
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:49,427
He's never forgiven me
for supporting

321
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,972
his brother's marriage
to Wallis Simpson.

322
00:19:53,067 --> 00:19:55,023
You only have to meet him
once a week.

323
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,102
Oh, but that's like saying
you only have to have

324
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:59,232
your tooth pulled once a week.

325
00:20:00,282 --> 00:20:02,193
Composition of your War Cabinet.

326
00:20:02,284 --> 00:20:03,899
Who should sit on it?

327
00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:05,109
Yeah.

328
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:07,411
Chamberlain, of course.

329
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:11,453
The Reverend Holy Fox.

330
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:13,159
Halifax.

331
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:15,832
Keeping your enemies close?

332
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,504
Oh, more than that.

333
00:20:17,675 --> 00:20:20,667
Without them, the party
will have rid of me.

334
00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:23,878
Oh, and that sheep
in sheep's clothing, Attlee.

335
00:20:24,724 --> 00:20:26,760
Come on, Daddy.
Everyone's waiting.

336
00:20:26,851 --> 00:20:29,684
Yes, I'll be there
in ajiffy, my love.

337
00:20:30,646 --> 00:20:32,887
I heard that before
you were asked,

338
00:20:32,982 --> 00:20:34,563
they offered it to Lord Halifax.

339
00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:36,015
Oh, I doubt that.

340
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:38,980
Halifax would never
turn it down.

341
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:41,653
He's the fourth son of an earl.

342
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:43,527
Fourth sons turn nothing down.

343
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:48,452
I wish the position had come
your way in better times, sir.

344
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:51,451
You have an enormous task
ahead of you.

345
00:20:51,542 --> 00:20:53,828
I only hope it's not too late.

346
00:20:54,378 --> 00:20:56,744
I'm very much afraid it is.

347
00:20:58,090 --> 00:21:00,297
Butwe can only
do our best, hmm?

348
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:02,374
MAN: Hip-hip!
ALL: Hurray!

349
00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:03,550
MAN: Hip-hip!
ALL: Hurray!

350
00:21:03,637 --> 00:21:04,797
Oh, heavens!

351
00:21:04,889 --> 00:21:06,800
What a frightful sight.

352
00:21:06,891 --> 00:21:08,927
A toast.
Yes, a speech.

353
00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:11,050
Yes.
Mama.

354
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:13,852
Yes.

355
00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:16,146
CLEMMIE: My darling husband.

356
00:21:16,233 --> 00:21:19,270
Some of you may not know
that on the eve

357
00:21:19,361 --> 00:21:21,602
of our marriage,
I got cold feet.

358
00:21:21,697 --> 00:21:24,484
But as I'd already
called off
two engagements

359
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:26,281
by the age of 21
and was in danger
of gaining

360
00:21:26,368 --> 00:21:27,699
a reputation for being
a bolter

361
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:29,277
it would have been poor form

362
00:21:29,371 --> 00:21:31,111
to call off a third.
Hear, hear.

363
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:32,538
Lucky for Daddy.

364
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:34,866
But the real reason
for my wintery feet

365
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,622
was that I knew, even then,

366
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:40,462
that his priority
would be public life.

367
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:43,298
But it worried
a young girl greatly,

368
00:21:43,385 --> 00:21:45,797
this wretched thought
of eternally coming second.

369
00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:48,091
But so it has proven to be.

370
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:51,758
And in due course, our children
would have to make their peace

371
00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:53,217
with this same fact.

372
00:21:56,065 --> 00:21:57,430
We all did, you see.

373
00:21:58,025 --> 00:21:59,356
In our own way.

374
00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:07,445
And now, today,
we are to receive our reward.

375
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:10,613
Proof that our small sacrifice

376
00:22:10,704 --> 00:22:12,865
was for a far, far greater good.

377
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:16,456
I give you your father,

378
00:22:17,378 --> 00:22:21,417
my beloved husband,
the Prime Minister.

379
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:23,626
ALL: The Prime Minister.

380
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:25,791
Here's to,

381
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:30,884
to not buggering it up.

382
00:22:30,975 --> 00:22:32,886
ALL: To not buggering it up.

383
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,184
WINSTON: Belgium was a ploy.

384
00:22:36,689 --> 00:22:39,351
They punched through
the Ardennes into France.

385
00:22:39,441 --> 00:22:42,399
Crossed the Meuse River
in under 24 hours.

386
00:22:42,486 --> 00:22:44,397
No one can cross
the Meuse in 24 hours.

387
00:22:44,488 --> 00:22:45,853
Well, apparently
the Germans can.

388
00:23:20,649 --> 00:23:22,264
Look to Chamberlain's
handkerchief.

389
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,021
If he waves it at the end
of Churchill's speech,

390
00:23:25,112 --> 00:23:26,522
we show approval.

391
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:30,489
If not, keep quiet.

392
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:33,613
SPEAKER: The Prime Minister.

393
00:23:44,131 --> 00:23:45,462
Here we go.

394
00:23:48,344 --> 00:23:49,834
Mr. Speaker,

395
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:53,758
on Friday evening last,

396
00:23:54,058 --> 00:23:57,266
I received
His Majesty's commission

397
00:23:57,353 --> 00:24:00,186
to form a new administration.

398
00:24:01,565 --> 00:24:04,477
It was the evident
wish and will

399
00:24:04,568 --> 00:24:07,560
of Parliament and the nation

400
00:24:07,655 --> 00:24:12,866
that this should be conceived
on the broadest possible basis.

401
00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:15,694
And that it should
include all parties.

402
00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:17,244
ALL: Hear, hear.

403
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:21,533
A War Cabinet has been convened.

404
00:24:21,627 --> 00:24:25,370
No. Correction.

405
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:27,329
Has been formed.

406
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:30,248
"Formed."

407
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:34,883
A War Cabinet
has been formed
of five members

408
00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:38,307
representing, with
the Opposition parties,

409
00:24:38,894 --> 00:24:40,600
the unity of the nation.

410
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:44,475
Read.

411
00:24:44,858 --> 00:24:46,268
ELIZABETH: "The three party
leaders have agreed

412
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,100
"to serve either
in the War Cabinet

413
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:50,777
or in high executive office."

414
00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:53,822
With this agreement in place,

415
00:24:53,909 --> 00:24:56,070
I now invite the House

416
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:59,824
by the resolution which
stands in my name...

417
00:25:00,249 --> 00:25:03,241
...to record its approval

418
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:07,085
and to declare its confidence

419
00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:08,503
in the new government.

420
00:25:11,719 --> 00:25:12,834
Miss?

421
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:16,470
I'm coming out
in a state of nature.

422
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:24,473
It must be remembered

423
00:25:25,232 --> 00:25:27,939
that we are
in the preliminary stage

424
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:31,770
of one of the greatest
battles in history.

425
00:25:32,239 --> 00:25:36,778
And that many preparations
have to be made here at home.

426
00:25:36,869 --> 00:25:38,234
ALL: Hear, hear.

427
00:25:38,328 --> 00:25:40,694
Sir, I take up my task

428
00:25:40,789 --> 00:25:43,781
with a buoyancy and hope,

429
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:47,701
and say to the House,
as I have said

430
00:25:47,796 --> 00:25:49,661
to those who have joined
the government,

431
00:25:50,174 --> 00:25:53,166
I have nothing to offer

432
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:57,879
but blood, toil, tears
and sweat.

433
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:04,473
We have before us an ordeal
of the most grievous kind.

434
00:26:05,397 --> 00:26:08,730
We have before us many, many
long months

435
00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:11,433
of struggle and of suffering.

436
00:26:12,112 --> 00:26:15,275
You ask, "What is our policy?"

437
00:26:16,533 --> 00:26:18,774
I say it is to wage war

438
00:26:18,869 --> 00:26:22,487
by sea, land and air

439
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:24,321
with all our might

440
00:26:24,792 --> 00:26:28,956
and with all the strength
that God can give us.

441
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:35,421
To wage war against
a monstrous tyranny

442
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:39,007
never surpassed in the dark
and lamentable catalog

443
00:26:39,098 --> 00:26:40,634
of human crime.

444
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:44,137
That is our policy.

445
00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:47,640
Oh, you ask,
"What is our aim?"

446
00:26:48,357 --> 00:26:51,394
I can answer in one word.

447
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:54,143
Victory.

448
00:26:54,238 --> 00:26:56,695
Victory at all costs.

449
00:26:57,407 --> 00:27:00,524
Victory, in spite
of all terror.

450
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:05,613
Victory, however long
and hard
the road may be.

451
00:27:06,208 --> 00:27:08,699
For without victory,

452
00:27:09,169 --> 00:27:12,377
there can be no survival.

453
00:27:28,856 --> 00:27:29,845
What's he doing?

454
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:40,030
Contempt.

455
00:27:40,534 --> 00:27:42,445
BOTH: We have to
start somewhere.

456
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:44,697
Snap.

457
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:56,372
"Our policy is to wage war.

458
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,290
"At all costs.

459
00:27:58,385 --> 00:28:00,046
No survival."

460
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:01,343
Good God, he's incapable

461
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:04,046
of even pronouncing
the word "peace,"

462
00:28:04,308 --> 00:28:06,640
let alone entering into
negoflaflons.

463
00:28:07,728 --> 00:28:09,969
Awful, the thought
that I shall never see

464
00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:11,974
my country at peace again.

465
00:28:15,611 --> 00:28:16,896
I have cancer.

466
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:23,069
Oh, Neville.

467
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:31,282
Winston must be removed
from office.

468
00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:33,662
Ifwe can get him to declare
that he refuses

469
00:28:33,754 --> 00:28:36,245
to even consider peace
negotiations with Germany,

470
00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:39,252
you and lwould perhaps
have clear grounds to resign.

471
00:28:40,344 --> 00:28:42,710
That would force
a vote of no confidence.

472
00:28:42,804 --> 00:28:44,635
The party couldn't
countenance that.

473
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:46,463
You're the chairman,
for heaven's sake.

474
00:28:47,476 --> 00:28:48,511
He'd be finished.

475
00:28:48,602 --> 00:28:51,218
And you would agree
to be prime minister.

476
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:53,390
Well...

477
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:56,857
with Winston out of the way,
who can say?

478
00:28:56,944 --> 00:28:59,185
But the important thing,
Neville,

479
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:02,737
is that your policies
would be back on the table.

480
00:29:02,824 --> 00:29:05,406
Peace and the protection
of our nation.

481
00:29:05,494 --> 00:29:06,904
On record.

482
00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:08,326
I beg your pardon.

483
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:09,573
He must declare, on record,

484
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:13,032
his refusal to engage
in peace talks.

485
00:29:13,543 --> 00:29:15,534
We must have it in writing.

486
00:29:55,252 --> 00:29:56,583
Thank you.

487
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:00,086
Miss Layton.
Morning.

488
00:30:00,215 --> 00:30:01,546
Follow me.

489
00:30:15,188 --> 00:30:16,303
Morning.

490
00:30:16,398 --> 00:30:17,934
Thank you, sir.

491
00:30:19,276 --> 00:30:20,641
Thank you, ma'am.

492
00:30:22,738 --> 00:30:24,353
ELIZABETH: What goes on
down here?

493
00:30:24,448 --> 00:30:27,360
That's need-to-know,
and you don't.

494
00:30:27,451 --> 00:30:29,817
The lavatory?
For the PM's use only.

495
00:30:30,787 --> 00:30:31,902
Sleeping quarters,

496
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:33,988
for when you miss
the last train.

497
00:30:35,709 --> 00:30:36,698
Ma'am.

498
00:30:39,087 --> 00:30:40,952
That's the Map Room.

499
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:43,922
No women allowed.
What department's this?

500
00:30:44,009 --> 00:30:46,170
Indiscretion in conversation
or any other form,

501
00:30:46,261 --> 00:30:48,217
within or without these rooms
regarding what happens here,

502
00:30:48,305 --> 00:30:50,921
is a statutory offense
punishable by up to

503
00:30:51,016 --> 00:30:53,348
two years imprisonment
with hard labor.

504
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,259
Clear?

505
00:30:55,354 --> 00:30:56,514
C rystal.

506
00:30:56,605 --> 00:30:57,640
Good.

507
00:30:59,066 --> 00:31:00,727
That's the War Cabinet room.

508
00:31:01,151 --> 00:31:02,311
Neven

509
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:06,816
I don't mean to be
rough on you, but

510
00:31:07,407 --> 00:31:09,022
them's the rules.

511
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:12,405
This is the typists' pool.

512
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:14,653
ALL: Good morning, sir.
Ladies.

513
00:31:16,458 --> 00:31:17,994
And here's you.

514
00:31:25,842 --> 00:31:28,254
Belgium and Holland
may fall at any hour.

515
00:31:28,345 --> 00:31:29,710
And the French?

516
00:31:29,805 --> 00:31:31,215
The entire French Ninth Army,

517
00:31:31,306 --> 00:31:33,888
some 200,000 men,
have capitulated.

518
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:35,590
All of them?

519
00:31:35,685 --> 00:31:36,845
Capitulated.

520
00:31:36,937 --> 00:31:38,848
Deserted. It was a rout.

521
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:41,806
All our land forces,
roughly 300,000 men,

522
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,231
are now in full retreat.

523
00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:45,775
Air cover?
For our troops?

524
00:31:45,862 --> 00:31:47,727
The Luftwaffe
control the skies.

525
00:31:47,823 --> 00:31:50,280
We simply don't have enough
planes to challenge them.

526
00:31:50,367 --> 00:31:52,574
In fact, I strongly
recommend
we stop sending

527
00:31:52,661 --> 00:31:55,528
our precious fighter planes
to be wasted in France.

528
00:31:55,622 --> 00:31:57,453
Save them for our own defense.

529
00:31:57,666 --> 00:32:00,499
And our navy sits idle,

530
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:02,746
neutralized, useless.

531
00:32:02,838 --> 00:32:05,295
Our fleets no sooner come
within their range

532
00:32:05,382 --> 00:32:07,338
than we come under
blistering air attack.

533
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:11,465
Well, their speed
is devastating.

534
00:32:11,555 --> 00:32:14,797
Panzer tanks moving rapidly
westward through the center.

535
00:32:14,891 --> 00:32:18,975
Well, they will have
to pause for fuel supplies.

536
00:32:19,062 --> 00:32:20,643
This is not the last war, sir.

537
00:32:20,730 --> 00:32:23,642
Their tanks can stop for fuel
at a petrol station.

538
00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:26,316
Petrol station?

539
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:28,894
The road to Paris now lies open.

540
00:32:28,989 --> 00:32:31,321
Seven million refugees
are on the move.

541
00:32:32,909 --> 00:32:34,740
Collectively, we are looking
at the collapse

542
00:32:34,828 --> 00:32:37,114
of Western Europe
in the next few days.

543
00:32:37,205 --> 00:32:39,571
Should the public be told?

544
00:32:45,881 --> 00:32:47,246
Not yet.

545
00:32:48,008 --> 00:32:50,624
First, we must rouse
our old friends

546
00:32:50,719 --> 00:32:53,301
to a heroic resistance.

547
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:57,093
France must be saved.

548
00:34:02,332 --> 00:34:03,742
Premier.

549
00:34:30,151 --> 00:34:32,984
Perhaps, in English,
Prime Minister.

550
00:34:33,405 --> 00:34:34,611
Well...

551
00:34:34,698 --> 00:34:39,192
We have
survived crises before,

552
00:34:39,286 --> 00:34:43,120
and I am... I am confident
we will survive this one.

553
00:34:43,206 --> 00:34:46,573
Tell me how
you plan to counter-attack.

554
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:49,746
There is no plan.

555
00:34:51,506 --> 00:34:53,667
Well...

556
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,711
Well, you must counter-attack.

557
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:58,335
Well, you must.

558
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:10,893
I do not
believe that this,

559
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:14,518
Panzer breakthrough
is a real invasion.

560
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:16,569
Not a real invasion?

561
00:35:16,656 --> 00:35:19,898
No. AS long as
their tank crews
are not supported

562
00:35:19,993 --> 00:35:22,780
by infantry units,
they are

563
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:26,905
merely little flags
stuck on a map.

564
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,333
Because the tank crews
cannot support themselves.

565
00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:32,581
No. I refuse to see,

566
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:35,960
in this spectacular raid
of the German tank,

567
00:35:36,259 --> 00:35:38,170
a real invasion.

568
00:35:50,649 --> 00:35:52,139
He's an actor,

569
00:35:52,233 --> 00:35:54,349
in love with the sound
of his own voice.

570
00:35:54,444 --> 00:35:56,480
I love to listen to him.

571
00:35:56,946 --> 00:35:59,028
But we must never take
his advice.

572
00:35:59,449 --> 00:36:01,360
Has a hundred ideas a day.

573
00:36:01,451 --> 00:36:02,907
Four of them are good,

574
00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:05,242
the other 96
downright dangerous.

575
00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:09,243
His father was the same.
Great orator, but...

576
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:11,120
Until he lost his mind
to syphilis.

577
00:36:11,544 --> 00:36:14,627
How nations suffer
for the Sins
of their fathers.

578
00:36:14,714 --> 00:36:15,920
My opinion?

579
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:18,544
At this critical juncture
for the empire,

580
00:36:19,469 --> 00:36:22,176
we have a drunkard at the wheel.

581
00:36:22,555 --> 00:36:24,637
Wakes with a scotch,

582
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:27,640
bottle of champagne for lunch,

583
00:36:27,727 --> 00:36:29,308
another one at dinner.

584
00:36:30,146 --> 00:36:32,933
Brandy and port
until the wee hours.

585
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:35,853
I wouldn't let him borrow
my bicycle.

586
00:36:35,944 --> 00:36:38,777
He's a Conservative
who defects to the Liberals,

587
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:41,400
lobs grenades at us
for ten years,

588
00:36:41,491 --> 00:36:45,109
then flops Conservative again
as it bloody suits him.

589
00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:48,320
Sorry, but he stands
for one thing.

590
00:36:48,498 --> 00:36:49,658
Himself.

591
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:52,828
We may have to replace him,
Bertie.

592
00:36:54,295 --> 00:36:55,580
Replace him?

593
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:58,079
We must strive for peace

594
00:36:58,633 --> 00:37:00,749
so that every son and daughter
of this land

595
00:37:00,844 --> 00:37:02,425
can emerge from this crisis

596
00:37:02,512 --> 00:37:04,719
with something
recognizable as home.

597
00:37:06,516 --> 00:37:08,757
Spoken like a true
prime minister.

598
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:26,069
"V for Victory."

599
00:37:27,746 --> 00:37:30,362
You need to reply to
the Lord Privy Seal.

600
00:37:33,710 --> 00:37:37,623
Tell the Lord Privy Seal
I am sealed in the privy.

601
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,957
And I can only deal
with one shit at a time.

602
00:37:49,309 --> 00:37:53,302
The broadcast is tonight,
so don't spare me, Anthony.

603
00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:54,928
Be frank.

604
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,854
I don't think so.

605
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,111
You don't think so what?

606
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:09,651
You're suggesting
we're somehow winning.

607
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:11,319
We're not.

608
00:38:12,165 --> 00:38:15,783
No, but it will inspire them.

609
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:18,330
Winston, I know...
Anthony, Anthony.

610
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:21,788
I am going to imbue them
with a...

611
00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:26,047
a spirit of feeling
they don't yet know they have.

612
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,468
You asked my opinion.

613
00:38:28,681 --> 00:38:30,421
I caution against it.

614
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:33,966
Cicero.

615
00:38:36,523 --> 00:38:38,229
Cicero!

616
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:44,937
"If fortune is adverse..."
something,

617
00:38:45,031 --> 00:38:47,363
something, something.

618
00:38:53,081 --> 00:38:54,366
Well...

619
00:38:54,874 --> 00:38:57,957
Well, it's not there.
I left it there.

620
00:38:58,044 --> 00:38:59,625
Clemmie!

621
00:39:00,255 --> 00:39:01,540
Cat!

622
00:39:01,631 --> 00:39:02,791
Clemmie!

623
00:39:02,882 --> 00:39:04,088
We cannot pay our bills.

624
00:39:04,175 --> 00:39:06,757
My copy of Cicero.

625
00:39:07,136 --> 00:39:08,546
Did-did you shelve it?
Did you hear what I said?

626
00:39:08,638 --> 00:39:09,969
What was that?
We're broke.

627
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:13,715
Oh, um...
Out! Out.

628
00:39:13,810 --> 00:39:15,550
Come on. Everybody out.

629
00:39:16,604 --> 00:39:18,265
I dare not write another check.

630
00:39:19,524 --> 00:39:21,139
Well, I'll economize.

631
00:39:21,401 --> 00:39:23,892
Only four cigars a day.

632
00:39:23,987 --> 00:39:25,852
You are insufferable!

633
00:39:30,076 --> 00:39:31,407
Is there anything else?

634
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,405
Yes.

635
00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:34,611
My love for you.

636
00:39:35,582 --> 00:39:37,243
How much have you had
to drink this morning?

637
00:39:39,252 --> 00:39:41,038
I see you now

638
00:39:41,963 --> 00:39:44,045
as I first saw you

639
00:39:44,257 --> 00:39:46,919
in 1904.

640
00:39:47,010 --> 00:39:49,422
And I simply stood,
speechless.

641
00:39:49,512 --> 00:39:50,968
Well, I must have been
very beautiful

642
00:39:51,055 --> 00:39:52,420
to achieve
that miraculous effect.

643
00:39:52,515 --> 00:39:55,177
Four years until we
saw each other again.

644
00:39:55,268 --> 00:39:56,474
Went by in an absolute flash.

645
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:58,426
You didn't lack for admirers.

646
00:39:58,521 --> 00:40:02,639
Your fidele serviteur
in Sidney Peel.

647
00:40:02,734 --> 00:40:04,520
Brilliant man.
Lionel Earle.

648
00:40:04,611 --> 00:40:06,567
Wonderful dancer.

649
00:40:07,739 --> 00:40:10,355
And then at Lady St. Helier's
dinner party.

650
00:40:10,825 --> 00:40:12,565
Who should show up?

651
00:40:13,745 --> 00:40:14,860
Pig.

652
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:18,655
Just the same.

653
00:40:29,802 --> 00:40:31,212
Are we terribly old?

654
00:40:32,347 --> 00:40:33,507
Yes, I'm afraid you are.

655
00:40:34,182 --> 00:40:35,718
Oh, you beast.

656
00:40:35,808 --> 00:40:37,890
Oh, you...

657
00:40:40,605 --> 00:40:43,267
Would you
hear me read my speech

658
00:40:43,358 --> 00:40:44,973
for tonight's broadcast?

659
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:47,316
Prime Minister.

660
00:40:47,403 --> 00:40:48,813
Prime Minister,
the situation in France.

661
00:40:48,905 --> 00:40:51,112
Is it true
we're in full retreat?

662
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,814
ls France lost?

663
00:41:00,041 --> 00:41:02,703
"The Spanish ships
Icannotsee,

664
00:41:02,794 --> 00:41:04,455
for they are out of sight."

665
00:41:05,254 --> 00:41:07,119
If you will Sit here

666
00:41:07,966 --> 00:41:09,581
at your desk.

667
00:41:11,427 --> 00:41:13,839
And speak slowly and clearly.

668
00:41:15,014 --> 00:41:16,220
Into the microphone.

669
00:41:17,058 --> 00:41:18,047
So...

670
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:21,801
if you're ready,
on the stroke of 9:00,

671
00:41:21,896 --> 00:41:23,636
the red light will come on,

672
00:41:23,731 --> 00:41:25,813
and we Shall go live
to the nation.

673
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:30,310
9:00, red light...

674
00:41:31,656 --> 00:41:33,146
you begin.

675
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:34,572
Yes?

676
00:41:35,535 --> 00:41:36,524
One moment.

677
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,542
Prime Minister,
are we ready?

678
00:41:46,629 --> 00:41:50,213
One moment, one moment.

679
00:41:55,888 --> 00:41:57,924
We are going live...

680
00:41:58,016 --> 00:41:59,552
One moment, damn you!

681
00:42:06,399 --> 00:42:09,766
And four, three,

682
00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:12,105
two, one.

683
00:42:32,884 --> 00:42:35,921
I speak to you
for the first time

684
00:42:36,012 --> 00:42:37,843
as prime minister

685
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:42,974
in a solemn hour
for the life
of our country,

686
00:42:43,853 --> 00:42:47,391
of our empire, of our allies

687
00:42:48,024 --> 00:42:51,767
and, above all,
of the cause of freedom.

688
00:42:53,112 --> 00:42:54,852
A tremendous battle

689
00:42:54,947 --> 00:42:58,610
is raging in France
and Flanders.

690
00:43:00,203 --> 00:43:03,991
The Germans,
by a remarkable combination

691
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:08,450
of air bombing
and heavily armored tanks,

692
00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:11,912
have broken through
the French defenses

693
00:43:12,006 --> 00:43:14,873
north of the Maginot Line

694
00:43:15,176 --> 00:43:16,632
and strong columns

695
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,084
of their armored vehicles

696
00:43:18,179 --> 00:43:21,046
are ravaging
the open country...

697
00:43:22,350 --> 00:43:24,261
which, for the first day
or two,

698
00:43:24,393 --> 00:43:26,429
was without defenders.

699
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,850
However, I have
invincible confidence

700
00:43:33,194 --> 00:43:36,027
in the French Army
and its leaders.

701
00:43:36,781 --> 00:43:39,898
Only a very small part
of that splendid army

702
00:43:39,992 --> 00:43:42,404
has yet been heavily engaged,

703
00:43:42,662 --> 00:43:48,123
and only a very small part
of France has yet been invaded.

704
00:43:48,626 --> 00:43:50,082
Side by side,

705
00:43:50,628 --> 00:43:54,416
the British and French peoples
have advanced.

706
00:43:54,507 --> 00:43:57,624
"Advanced"?
To rescue not only Europe.

707
00:43:57,718 --> 00:44:00,801
How bloody dare he.
But mankind

708
00:44:00,888 --> 00:44:05,552
from the foulest and most
soul-destroying tyranny

709
00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:08,183
which has ever darkened

710
00:44:08,271 --> 00:44:11,104
and stained
the pages of history.

711
00:44:11,691 --> 00:44:15,354
But now one bond unites us all.

712
00:44:15,945 --> 00:44:20,314
To wage war
until victory is won,

713
00:44:20,408 --> 00:44:23,445
and never
to surrender ourselves

714
00:44:24,078 --> 00:44:27,195
to servitude and shame.

715
00:44:27,290 --> 00:44:28,871
Whatever the cost

716
00:44:30,459 --> 00:44:32,120
and the agony may be,

717
00:44:32,837 --> 00:44:35,294
conquer we must,

718
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:38,752
as conquer we shall.

719
00:44:45,516 --> 00:44:46,756
Well done, sir.

720
00:45:53,376 --> 00:45:56,459
Oh! Ithought
you did marvelously.

721
00:45:57,213 --> 00:45:58,623
The last ten years,

722
00:45:58,714 --> 00:46:01,046
I was the only one
who told them the truth.

723
00:46:01,634 --> 00:46:03,124
Until tonight.

724
00:46:04,845 --> 00:46:06,426
There is no advance.

725
00:46:08,766 --> 00:46:10,381
It's a shambles.

726
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:13,517
We're in full retreat.

727
00:46:15,690 --> 00:46:17,180
But would you be
serving them tonight

728
00:46:17,275 --> 00:46:18,856
by denying them
their sleep

729
00:46:18,943 --> 00:46:20,808
and terrifying their children?

730
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,185
What, even if the terror
is coming?

731
00:46:23,281 --> 00:46:25,067
Because the terror is coming.

732
00:46:26,784 --> 00:46:28,740
There's time enough
for the truth.

733
00:46:38,754 --> 00:46:40,369
Have you seen this?

734
00:46:44,385 --> 00:46:46,341
What's so funny?

735
00:46:47,722 --> 00:46:49,804
Prime Minister. Sir.

736
00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:51,130
Yes, what is it?

737
00:46:52,685 --> 00:46:53,970
Perhaps...

738
00:46:57,523 --> 00:46:58,854
Look, I'm...

739
00:46:58,941 --> 00:47:01,182
I'm not sure
ifyou know this, but,

740
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,231
but the way you're doing
your "V for Victory" sign...

741
00:47:06,157 --> 00:47:08,318
Well, in the poorer quarters,

742
00:47:08,617 --> 00:47:10,107
that gesture means
something else.

743
00:47:10,202 --> 00:47:11,658
What does it mean?

744
00:47:11,746 --> 00:47:13,202
Well, Iwouldn't like
to say, sir.

745
00:47:13,289 --> 00:47:15,575
I was captured by the Boer.

746
00:47:15,666 --> 00:47:18,123
I spent time
in a South African prison.

747
00:47:18,753 --> 00:47:19,788
Up your bum.

748
00:47:21,172 --> 00:47:22,207
Sir.

749
00:47:22,923 --> 00:47:24,584
Up your bum?

750
00:47:25,259 --> 00:47:26,294
Up your...

751
00:47:29,221 --> 00:47:31,837
The way you're doing it, sir,
yes, sir.

752
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:35,511
But ifyou turn it around,
that's fine.

753
00:47:37,438 --> 00:47:39,053
I wouldn't like
millions of people

754
00:47:39,148 --> 00:47:40,308
to take it the wrong way.

755
00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:41,764
Indeed.

756
00:47:42,401 --> 00:47:43,857
Sir.
Sir.

757
00:47:44,779 --> 00:47:48,067
And up your bum!

758
00:47:48,199 --> 00:47:49,279
Your Majesty.

759
00:47:49,784 --> 00:47:51,991
GEORGE Vl: Don't want to take
too much of your time.

760
00:47:52,620 --> 00:47:54,531
I heard you on the wireless.

761
00:47:55,706 --> 00:47:57,412
Was I comprehensible?

762
00:47:58,459 --> 00:48:02,372
The public need to be led,
not misled.

763
00:48:02,463 --> 00:48:05,170
Not left to work it out
for themselves.

764
00:48:08,969 --> 00:48:10,175
Right.

765
00:48:10,554 --> 00:48:12,545
Will that be all,
Your Majesty?

766
00:48:12,807 --> 00:48:13,796
Yes.

767
00:48:13,891 --> 00:48:15,301
Good day, Prime Minister.

768
00:48:15,393 --> 00:48:16,599
Good day.

769
00:48:20,106 --> 00:48:24,315
I believe I havejust received
a royal rap on the knuckles.

770
00:48:30,825 --> 00:48:32,531
As of 20:00 hours last night,

771
00:48:32,618 --> 00:48:35,985
the Germans have encircled
60 British,

772
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,162
Belgian and French divisions.

773
00:48:39,375 --> 00:48:43,118
On our part, all our forces
under Lord Gort have withdrawn

774
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:46,170
or are trying to withdraw
to the French coast,
to Dunkirk,

775
00:48:46,507 --> 00:48:48,293
where we cannot reach them.

776
00:48:48,384 --> 00:48:49,999
How many of our men
are trapped?

777
00:48:50,094 --> 00:48:51,459
All of them.

778
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:54,420
Our country's entire
professional soldiery.

779
00:48:54,849 --> 00:48:57,215
And we can see no clear way
to rescue them.

780
00:49:00,771 --> 00:49:03,387
General, are you telling me

781
00:49:03,482 --> 00:49:07,521
that we Shall have lost
the entire British Army

782
00:49:07,611 --> 00:49:09,147
by the next few days?

783
00:49:10,156 --> 00:49:11,236
That's correct.

784
00:49:11,991 --> 00:49:15,324
The German force
is superior in every regard

785
00:49:15,411 --> 00:49:17,367
and only 50 miles
from the coast.

786
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:19,662
They are pushing us
into the sea.

787
00:49:19,748 --> 00:49:23,115
No, the Germans
must not reach
the sea.

788
00:49:23,586 --> 00:49:26,999
Not before we evacuate
our men.

789
00:49:27,089 --> 00:49:29,000
lsmay, what have you got
for us?

790
00:49:29,091 --> 00:49:30,422
As it stands, I cannot see

791
00:49:30,509 --> 00:49:34,218
we have much hope of getting
any of our forces out in time.

792
00:49:35,890 --> 00:49:37,471
Not a man?

793
00:49:38,934 --> 00:49:41,596
Well, we... Well,
we cannot be so

794
00:49:41,854 --> 00:49:43,344
totally at their mercy.

795
00:49:43,439 --> 00:49:44,975
What's our next step?

796
00:49:45,858 --> 00:49:47,143
Anyone?

797
00:49:48,235 --> 00:49:49,315
Come on, speak!

798
00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:53,821
We still have
a garrison at Calais.

799
00:49:53,908 --> 00:49:55,148
25 miles to the west.

800
00:49:55,242 --> 00:49:56,823
Well, how many men
do we have there?

801
00:49:56,911 --> 00:49:58,242
4,000, more or less.

802
00:50:00,956 --> 00:50:03,368
Then why...
Why didn't you say so?

803
00:50:04,418 --> 00:50:07,751
Yes. Then we...
We have them go east,

804
00:50:07,838 --> 00:50:10,204
engage with
the German columns
moving on Dunkirk,

805
00:50:10,299 --> 00:50:11,459
buy us some time.

806
00:50:11,550 --> 00:50:14,132
Draw the... the Nazi focus

807
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:17,053
away from Dunkirk
whilst we execute a...

808
00:50:17,139 --> 00:50:19,505
a maritime evacuation
of our forces.

809
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,056
Is that possible?

810
00:50:21,143 --> 00:50:22,508
It would mean a huge sacrifice.

811
00:50:22,603 --> 00:50:24,514
4,000 young men.

812
00:50:24,605 --> 00:50:27,563
To save 300,000.

813
00:50:27,650 --> 00:50:30,266
Under whose command
is the Calais garrison?

814
00:50:30,361 --> 00:50:31,726
Brigadier Nicholson.

815
00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:33,060
Very well.

816
00:50:34,698 --> 00:50:36,563
Tell Nicholson it is
of the greatest importance

817
00:50:36,659 --> 00:50:38,365
to this island that...

818
00:50:38,452 --> 00:50:41,535
that his garrison
draw the enemy's tanks

819
00:50:41,622 --> 00:50:43,829
and artillery and bombers
away from Dunkirk.

820
00:50:43,916 --> 00:50:46,077
Invite their wrath, and...

821
00:50:47,836 --> 00:50:49,326
Well, and to fight on

822
00:50:50,673 --> 00:50:52,129
if needs be.

823
00:50:55,844 --> 00:50:59,553
If needs be,
until the destruction
of his command.

824
00:51:02,268 --> 00:51:03,929
It's suicide.

825
00:51:15,739 --> 00:51:19,448
Prime Minister,
I have reservations.

826
00:51:20,077 --> 00:51:22,614
Well, who is free
of reservations?

827
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:24,911
About unnecessary sacrifice,

828
00:51:25,374 --> 00:51:26,955
when there is
an available alternative.

829
00:51:28,586 --> 00:51:29,917
What alternative?

830
00:51:30,713 --> 00:51:32,795
Italy has offered
to mediate
peace talks

831
00:51:33,340 --> 00:51:34,750
between ourselves and Germany.

832
00:51:34,842 --> 00:51:36,082
I already indicated that,

833
00:51:36,176 --> 00:51:37,461
provided the liberty
andindependence

834
00:51:37,553 --> 00:51:39,134
of the British Empire
was assured,

835
00:51:39,722 --> 00:51:41,633
we would consider any proposal.

836
00:51:41,724 --> 00:51:46,468
With, with Hitler
holding the whip hand.

837
00:51:46,562 --> 00:51:48,177
Do you really think
he would honor

838
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:49,478
our liberty and independence?

839
00:51:49,857 --> 00:51:51,893
It would be
in his interest to do so, sir.

840
00:51:52,276 --> 00:51:54,392
Because the British Empire...
The only thing to do

841
00:51:54,486 --> 00:51:57,398
is to show that maniac

842
00:51:57,489 --> 00:51:59,525
that he cannot conquer
this island,

843
00:51:59,617 --> 00:52:01,232
and for that we need an army.

844
00:52:01,327 --> 00:52:02,567
General, tell
Brigadier Nicholson

845
00:52:02,661 --> 00:52:04,117
the Germans must not
reach the sea.

846
00:52:04,204 --> 00:52:07,071
Not before we-we
get our boys

847
00:52:07,166 --> 00:52:09,202
off of that bloody beach!

848
00:52:09,293 --> 00:52:11,079
I take full responsibility.

849
00:52:11,170 --> 00:52:12,410
Really?

850
00:52:12,504 --> 00:52:14,415
Really! Yes, sir.

851
00:52:14,506 --> 00:52:15,871
It is the reason

852
00:52:15,966 --> 00:52:18,378
I sit in this chair!

853
00:52:21,597 --> 00:52:23,133
Well, surely,
before you take

854
00:52:23,223 --> 00:52:25,885
full responsibility
for the deaths of 4,000 men,

855
00:52:25,976 --> 00:52:29,264
you'd wish to consider
every available avenue.

856
00:52:31,732 --> 00:52:34,018
What is this?

857
00:52:35,486 --> 00:52:38,353
What iS your mind
on the principle
of peace talks, sir?

858
00:52:42,201 --> 00:52:45,318
Do we take it, for example,
that you preclude yourself

859
00:52:45,412 --> 00:52:48,950
from even considering
taking part
in such negotiations?

860
00:53:08,852 --> 00:53:12,595
I should like to speak
to Viscount Halifax

861
00:53:12,690 --> 00:53:14,521
and Mr. Chamberlain.

862
00:53:15,234 --> 00:53:16,474
Alone.

863
00:53:17,319 --> 00:53:20,152
Issue the order
to the Calais garrison.

864
00:53:21,073 --> 00:53:22,734
Confirm it has been done.

865
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,485
Dismissed.

866
00:53:26,370 --> 00:53:27,906
Now, you two come on.

867
00:53:27,996 --> 00:53:29,202
Out.

868
00:53:31,291 --> 00:53:32,326
Bndges!

869
00:53:32,418 --> 00:53:34,033
You come on, hop it!

870
00:53:34,128 --> 00:53:35,618
Out. Out!

871
00:54:44,531 --> 00:54:45,816
Winston,

872
00:54:47,075 --> 00:54:49,487
we are facing
certain defeat on land,

873
00:54:50,162 --> 00:54:54,201
the annihilation of our army,
and imminent invasion.

874
00:54:55,042 --> 00:54:56,782
We must be rational.

875
00:54:56,877 --> 00:54:59,710
We are a seagoing nation.

876
00:54:59,797 --> 00:55:03,005
Have been
since the Bronze Age.

877
00:55:03,842 --> 00:55:05,582
The Channel is ours.

878
00:55:05,677 --> 00:55:08,544
It's our moat,
our battlement,

879
00:55:08,639 --> 00:55:11,255
and the German doesn't
recognize an expanse of water

880
00:55:11,350 --> 00:55:13,261
greater than a bloody lake.

881
00:55:13,393 --> 00:55:16,931
They have first to reach
this island, Edward.

882
00:55:17,022 --> 00:55:18,683
Where men,
women and children,

883
00:55:18,774 --> 00:55:20,765
whom we will have
failed despicably

884
00:55:20,859 --> 00:55:22,815
in our duty
of protection, will be

885
00:55:22,903 --> 00:55:24,859
entirely defenseless...
And whose fault is that?

886
00:55:24,947 --> 00:55:27,905
...against the largest army
the world has ever seen.

887
00:55:27,991 --> 00:55:29,606
Furthermore, once France falls,

888
00:55:29,701 --> 00:55:32,488
Germany can concentrate
on aircraft production.

889
00:55:32,579 --> 00:55:34,945
They will then have
the French fleet as well.

890
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,497
What iS to stop
Herr Hitler
then, Winston?

891
00:55:37,584 --> 00:55:40,951
Words, words, words alone.

892
00:55:42,923 --> 00:55:45,084
Ifyou will not permit
any talk of peace,

893
00:55:45,175 --> 00:55:46,381
then I Shall be forced...

894
00:55:46,468 --> 00:55:48,254
CHAMBERLAIN: Mightwe
not allow Edward

895
00:55:48,345 --> 00:55:52,088
simply to meet the
Italian Ambassador
Bastianini,

896
00:55:52,182 --> 00:55:54,423
discuss a possible role

897
00:55:54,518 --> 00:55:57,851
as mediators between
us and Germany,

898
00:55:59,231 --> 00:56:00,516
and find out their price?

899
00:56:17,374 --> 00:56:18,454
Sir.

900
00:56:38,812 --> 00:56:41,349
Mr. President.
ROOSEVELT: Winston.

901
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,101
Franklin.

902
00:56:43,317 --> 00:56:46,525
How are you?
Fine. Fine.

903
00:56:46,612 --> 00:56:48,273
How are you,
Prime Minister?

904
00:56:48,614 --> 00:56:50,400
Oh, I'm in fine fettle.

905
00:56:50,532 --> 00:56:51,647
Fine fettle.

906
00:56:51,742 --> 00:56:53,607
Listen.

907
00:56:53,911 --> 00:56:58,780
I'm, telephoning
about your navy ships.

908
00:56:58,874 --> 00:57:01,331
Ifyou could loan usjust,

909
00:57:02,085 --> 00:57:04,747
50 older destroyers.

910
00:57:04,838 --> 00:57:08,001
Ah, yes.
Or even 40 would do.

911
00:57:08,634 --> 00:57:10,295
Well, I,

912
00:57:10,385 --> 00:57:12,216
I did ask around,

913
00:57:12,721 --> 00:57:15,838
but just not possible,
I’m afraid.

914
00:57:16,141 --> 00:57:20,805
The Neutrality Act we signed
last year has tied my hands.

915
00:57:20,896 --> 00:57:22,477
Just can't swing it.

916
00:57:22,856 --> 00:57:23,936
I tried.

917
00:57:24,024 --> 00:57:25,730
Well, can I...

918
00:57:27,694 --> 00:57:31,562
Do I have your permission

919
00:57:31,657 --> 00:57:34,319
to send an aircraft carrier

920
00:57:34,409 --> 00:57:36,320
to pick up
the P-40 fighter planes

921
00:57:36,411 --> 00:57:37,821
we purchased from you?

922
00:57:41,750 --> 00:57:43,331
Mr. President?

923
00:57:44,127 --> 00:57:46,288
Well, you've got me
there again.

924
00:57:46,380 --> 00:57:48,917
New law
preventing transshipment

925
00:57:49,007 --> 00:57:50,838
of military equipment.

926
00:57:50,926 --> 00:57:53,087
But we paid for them.

927
00:57:53,387 --> 00:57:55,969
We paid for them
with the money that we...

928
00:57:56,056 --> 00:57:57,762
that we borrowed from you.

929
00:57:57,975 --> 00:58:01,092
I'm so, so sorry, Winston.

930
00:58:05,524 --> 00:58:08,857
I need not impress
upon you the...

931
00:58:09,528 --> 00:58:13,771
the trouble faced
by the Western Hemisphere,

932
00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:19,068
without your support
in some fashion.

933
00:58:19,162 --> 00:58:20,993
I know. lknow.

934
00:58:21,081 --> 00:58:23,868
You are on my mind
day and night.

935
00:58:26,169 --> 00:58:29,753
Look, we could possibly...

936
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,796
Mr. President...

937
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:33,544
I mean to say...

938
00:58:33,635 --> 00:58:39,050
We are facing
the gravest odds.

939
00:58:39,141 --> 00:58:40,551
We could take your planes

940
00:58:40,642 --> 00:58:43,179
to about a mile from
the Canadian border.

941
00:58:44,062 --> 00:58:45,893
And then, if you send across

942
00:58:45,981 --> 00:58:50,566
a team of horses from Canada,
nothing motorized

943
00:58:50,652 --> 00:58:53,485
then you could pull them
over the border yourself.

944
00:58:55,365 --> 00:58:57,356
How does that sound?

945
00:59:00,579 --> 00:59:01,910
Horses?

946
00:59:03,457 --> 00:59:05,869
You did say,

947
00:59:05,959 --> 00:59:08,450
a team of horses?

948
00:59:08,962 --> 00:59:11,920
Well, I guess you could
push them yourself.

949
00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:14,540
Damn things have wheels.

950
00:59:17,512 --> 00:59:18,627
Up to you.

951
00:59:22,309 --> 00:59:24,971
We could do that,
Prime Minister.

952
00:59:28,648 --> 00:59:29,854
Prime Minister?

953
00:59:33,862 --> 00:59:36,729
Anything you could do
at this time,

954
00:59:36,823 --> 00:59:38,814
Franklin, would be
most welcome.

955
00:59:39,951 --> 00:59:41,987
Good night to you, Winston.

956
00:59:42,370 --> 00:59:44,486
It must be late there.

957
00:59:45,457 --> 00:59:50,372
In more ways
than you could
possibly know.

958
01:00:24,704 --> 01:00:27,491
Prime Minister.
Prime Minister.

959
01:00:35,882 --> 01:00:38,624
Get me Admiral Ramsay
on one of these, will you?

960
01:00:38,718 --> 01:00:40,959
Yes, Prime Minister.

961
01:00:41,471 --> 01:00:43,678
Put me through
to Admiral Ramsay.

962
01:01:02,659 --> 01:01:04,240
Admiral Ramsay.

963
01:01:04,327 --> 01:01:06,158
It's the prime minister.

964
01:01:07,289 --> 01:01:08,529
Bertie?

965
01:01:09,082 --> 01:01:12,449
Bertie, I hope
I didn't wake you.

966
01:01:12,544 --> 01:01:15,286
Not at all.
I was just reading the Bible.

967
01:01:15,380 --> 01:01:17,336
Exodus?

968
01:01:18,258 --> 01:01:19,839
Listen, Bertie.

969
01:01:20,302 --> 01:01:22,634
We need to evacuate our boys.

970
01:01:22,721 --> 01:01:25,884
The Navy is saying that
with one cruiser

971
01:01:25,974 --> 01:01:27,805
and six destroyers
and with the...

972
01:01:27,893 --> 01:01:30,885
the Luftwaffe controlling
the skies above,

973
01:01:30,979 --> 01:01:32,935
we'll be lucky to get
ten percent out.

974
01:01:33,273 --> 01:01:37,937
I want you to order
an assembly of boats.

975
01:01:39,654 --> 01:01:41,110
Boats?

976
01:01:41,198 --> 01:01:42,483
Yes.

977
01:01:42,574 --> 01:01:44,565
Civilian boats.

978
01:01:44,659 --> 01:01:47,696
As many as
you can get your hands on.

979
01:01:47,787 --> 01:01:50,779
Long/ey's Clipper,
Fearnley’s Gin Palace,

980
01:01:50,874 --> 01:01:53,286
anyone with a pleasure craft
bigger than 30 foot

981
01:01:53,376 --> 01:01:54,786
that can get to France.

982
01:01:57,297 --> 01:01:59,083
Bertie, you still there?

983
01:01:59,925 --> 01:02:01,335
Um... Right.

984
01:02:03,261 --> 01:02:06,469
Help me stage
this thing, Bertie?

985
01:02:07,057 --> 01:02:11,096
We must at least try to bring
some of our boys home.

986
01:02:12,354 --> 01:02:14,470
Well, I'll have the BBC
issue the order.

987
01:02:14,898 --> 01:02:16,104
Good.

988
01:02:16,191 --> 01:02:18,728
Oh, and Bertie,
you still there?

989
01:02:19,861 --> 01:02:22,193
Sir.
We need a name

990
01:02:22,989 --> 01:02:24,274
for this operation.

991
01:02:27,410 --> 01:02:29,150
Good morning, Prime Minister.
Prime Minister, do you have

992
01:02:29,246 --> 01:02:30,577
anything you'd like to say
to our readers this morning?

993
01:02:30,664 --> 01:02:32,370
Prime Minister.
Mr. Churchill, sir.

994
01:02:32,457 --> 01:02:33,993
Prime Minister, do you have
anything you'd like to say?

995
01:02:36,253 --> 01:02:38,039
Prime Minister, would you
like to... Prime Minister?

996
01:02:45,845 --> 01:02:48,302
How do you manage
drinking during the day?

997
01:02:52,602 --> 01:02:53,762
Practice.

998
01:03:14,249 --> 01:03:15,955
should like to discuss...

999
01:03:16,167 --> 01:03:19,455
I have been asked
if plans should be drawn

1000
01:03:19,546 --> 01:03:24,131
to evacuate myself
and my family to Canada.

1001
01:03:25,260 --> 01:03:27,876
I would like to know
the opinion
of our prime minister.

1002
01:03:29,764 --> 01:03:31,629
Well, my opinion
would be that
you must do

1003
01:03:31,725 --> 01:03:33,966
what you feel
is right for yourself,

1004
01:03:34,853 --> 01:03:37,845
your family and the nation.

1005
01:03:39,190 --> 01:03:41,602
I mean, your survival
is paramount.

1006
01:03:42,861 --> 01:03:44,692
Prime ministers...

1007
01:03:44,779 --> 01:03:48,021
well, we seem
to come and go
at an astonishing rate.

1008
01:03:48,450 --> 01:03:51,487
Your position
in Parliament, I...

1009
01:03:52,245 --> 01:03:54,577
I'm told, is not strong.

1010
01:03:56,082 --> 01:03:57,572
My party

1011
01:03:58,626 --> 01:04:04,371
resents the way
Chamberlain was pushed aside.

1012
01:04:04,466 --> 01:04:06,081
And many others doubt me.

1013
01:04:06,509 --> 01:04:07,999
They want Halifax still,

1014
01:04:08,094 --> 01:04:10,210
but why get rid
of the organ grinder

1015
01:04:10,305 --> 01:04:11,795
and replace him
with the monkey?

1016
01:04:11,890 --> 01:04:15,098
Lord Halifax is a close
personal friend of mine.

1017
01:04:20,857 --> 01:04:22,722
I am unwanted.

1018
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,938
I've never been trusted
since the Gallipoli campaign.

1019
01:04:30,367 --> 01:04:31,698
Unwanted.

1020
01:04:32,410 --> 01:04:34,571
Perhaps it's because
you scare people.

1021
01:04:35,038 --> 01:04:36,198
Who?

1022
01:04:36,289 --> 01:04:37,369
You scare me.

1023
01:04:38,500 --> 01:04:39,865
What nonsense.

1024
01:04:42,003 --> 01:04:45,245
What could possibly
be scary about me?

1025
01:04:45,382 --> 01:04:48,374
One never knows what's going
to come out of your mouth next.

1026
01:04:48,468 --> 01:04:50,174
Something that will flatter,

1027
01:04:50,261 --> 01:04:52,126
something that will wound.

1028
01:04:57,268 --> 01:05:00,886
My emotions are unbridled.

1029
01:05:02,732 --> 01:05:05,144
A wildness in the blood

1030
01:05:05,235 --> 01:05:08,693
I share with my father.

1031
01:05:09,697 --> 01:05:11,858
And my mother also.

1032
01:05:12,700 --> 01:05:15,612
VVelacked
the gift of temperance.

1033
01:05:18,039 --> 01:05:19,495
Were you close to your parents?

1034
01:05:19,791 --> 01:05:23,375
My mother was glamorous,

1035
01:05:24,754 --> 01:05:27,245
but perhaps
too widely loved.

1036
01:05:28,716 --> 01:05:31,628
My father was like God,

1037
01:05:32,220 --> 01:05:33,710
busy elsewhere.

1038
01:05:35,014 --> 01:05:36,003
Hmm.

1039
01:06:17,599 --> 01:06:19,089
Good day, gentlemen.
Prime Minister.

1040
01:06:19,184 --> 01:06:24,850
I have asked
the minister for war
to join us.

1041
01:06:25,106 --> 01:06:27,597
Neville, would you...

1042
01:06:27,734 --> 01:06:29,019
Anthony.

1043
01:06:31,196 --> 01:06:35,940
Obviously, we are
in a dangerous situation.

1044
01:06:36,326 --> 01:06:38,692
But I am assured
by the French premier

1045
01:06:38,786 --> 01:06:41,778
that while some
German tank units

1046
01:06:41,873 --> 01:06:43,909
have reached the sea,

1047
01:06:44,542 --> 01:06:47,033
the situation generally seems
to be well in hand.

1048
01:06:47,128 --> 01:06:49,710
What news from Calais?

1049
01:06:49,797 --> 01:06:51,662
The garrison attacked,
but was forced back

1050
01:06:51,758 --> 01:06:53,714
and is now surrounded
on all sides.

1051
01:06:54,719 --> 01:06:57,051
They're being shelled
and bombed mercilessly.

1052
01:06:57,472 --> 01:06:59,133
Casualties are at 60%.

1053
01:07:03,186 --> 01:07:04,175
Hmm.

1054
01:07:10,401 --> 01:07:11,891
Prime Minister.

1055
01:07:12,654 --> 01:07:14,110
The question of peace talks.

1056
01:07:15,156 --> 01:07:16,987
We must hold our nerve.

1057
01:07:17,742 --> 01:07:22,156
Signal only that we intend
to fight it out until the end.

1058
01:07:22,580 --> 01:07:24,411
A peace offer

1059
01:07:24,541 --> 01:07:26,327
telegraphS our weakness.
Agreed.

1060
01:07:26,417 --> 01:07:28,829
And even ifwe were beaten,
we should be no worse off

1061
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,377
than we should be ifwe were
now to abandon the struggle.

1062
01:07:31,965 --> 01:07:33,671
Let us therefore avoid

1063
01:07:33,758 --> 01:07:37,046
being dragged
down the slippery slope

1064
01:07:37,136 --> 01:07:39,252
with talk
of a negotiated peace.

1065
01:07:39,347 --> 01:07:41,429
Slippery Slope? The only...

1066
01:07:41,516 --> 01:07:44,724
I suspect Italy and Germany...
The only slippery Slope...

1067
01:07:44,811 --> 01:07:47,348
...wish to get us so deeply
involved in negotiations

1068
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,347
that we should be unable
to turn back.
Nonsense.

1069
01:07:50,441 --> 01:07:52,477
Bastianini informed me...
I propose...

1070
01:07:52,569 --> 01:07:54,935
The only slippery Slope...
Would you stop interrupting me

1071
01:07:55,029 --> 01:07:56,985
while I am interrupting you?

1072
01:08:01,035 --> 01:08:03,401
When I chose my War Cabinet,
I took great care

1073
01:08:03,496 --> 01:08:06,112
to surround myself
with old rivals.

1074
01:08:07,333 --> 01:08:08,743
I may have overdone it.

1075
01:08:09,627 --> 01:08:11,208
Viscount Halifax,

1076
01:08:11,546 --> 01:08:15,255
the approach you propose is...
It's not only...

1077
01:08:15,341 --> 01:08:16,922
It's futile.

1078
01:08:17,468 --> 01:08:19,629
But it involves us
in a deadly danger.

1079
01:08:19,721 --> 01:08:21,336
The deadly danger here

1080
01:08:21,431 --> 01:08:25,845
is this romantic fantasy
of fighting to the end.

1081
01:08:27,604 --> 01:08:29,060
What is the end,

1082
01:08:29,480 --> 01:08:32,347
if not the destruction
of all things?

1083
01:08:33,276 --> 01:08:34,436
There's nothing heroic

1084
01:08:34,527 --> 01:08:36,734
in going down fighting
if it can be avoided.

1085
01:08:36,821 --> 01:08:40,279
Nothing even
remotely patriotic
in death or glory

1086
01:08:40,366 --> 01:08:42,482
if the odds are firmly
on the former.

1087
01:08:42,577 --> 01:08:45,944
Nothing inglorious
in trying to shorten a war

1088
01:08:46,039 --> 01:08:47,449
that we are clearly losing.

1089
01:08:47,540 --> 01:08:50,077
Losing? Europe is still...

1090
01:08:50,168 --> 01:08:51,533
Europe is lost.

1091
01:08:58,676 --> 01:09:02,043
And before our forces
are wiped out completely,

1092
01:09:02,722 --> 01:09:04,713
now is the time to negotiate,

1093
01:09:04,807 --> 01:09:07,719
in order to obtain
the best conditions possible.

1094
01:09:09,729 --> 01:09:11,890
Hitler will not insist
on outrageous terms.

1095
01:09:11,981 --> 01:09:13,266
He will know
his own weaknesses.

1096
01:09:13,358 --> 01:09:14,848
He will be reasonable.

1097
01:09:14,942 --> 01:09:17,058
When will the lesson be learned?

1098
01:09:17,445 --> 01:09:19,902
When will the lesson be learned?

1099
01:09:21,324 --> 01:09:23,610
How many more dictators

1100
01:09:23,701 --> 01:09:27,159
must be, wooed, appeased,

1101
01:09:27,246 --> 01:09:29,202
good God,
given immense privileges

1102
01:09:29,290 --> 01:09:31,155
before we learn?

1103
01:09:31,542 --> 01:09:34,534
You cannot reason with a tiger

1104
01:09:34,629 --> 01:09:37,166
when your head is in its mouth!

1105
01:09:38,841 --> 01:09:40,172
Prime Minister.

1106
01:09:41,260 --> 01:09:43,251
Winston. Winston.

1107
01:09:44,555 --> 01:09:45,761
Yesterday, you gave
permission...

1108
01:09:45,848 --> 01:09:47,213
What permission?

1109
01:09:47,308 --> 01:09:49,048
For me to meet Bastianini.

1110
01:09:49,185 --> 01:09:51,927
I sanctioned the
theoretical exploration...
Theoretical?

1111
01:09:52,021 --> 01:09:54,262
...of what price Italy
would ask. Nothing more.

1112
01:09:54,357 --> 01:09:56,313
I did not sanction any...
If you will not permit

1113
01:09:56,401 --> 01:09:58,312
further exploration
of a peace agreement,

1114
01:09:58,403 --> 01:09:59,859
then you will have
my resignation.

1115
01:09:59,946 --> 01:10:01,561
Don't be absurd, Edward.

1116
01:10:01,656 --> 01:10:04,989
I need you. You know I do.
lwill not stand by

1117
01:10:05,076 --> 01:10:08,318
to watch another generation
of young men die

1118
01:10:08,413 --> 01:10:10,028
at the bloody altar
of your hubris.

1119
01:10:10,123 --> 01:10:12,739
Oh, and you would have us
die as lambs!

1120
01:10:12,834 --> 01:10:14,370
Was Gallipoli
not enough for you?

1121
01:10:14,460 --> 01:10:15,950
How dare you!

1122
01:10:16,379 --> 01:10:20,167
Our troops were chewing
barbed wire in Flanders,

1123
01:10:20,258 --> 01:10:21,668
and I saw it!

1124
01:10:22,510 --> 01:10:25,877
Opening a second front,
outflanking the Turks

1125
01:10:25,972 --> 01:10:28,338
was a serious military idea,

1126
01:10:28,433 --> 01:10:30,389
and it could have
damn well worked if the...

1127
01:10:30,476 --> 01:10:32,432
if the admirals
and the First Sea Lord

1128
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,603
hadn't dithered away
our element of surprise.

1129
01:10:40,069 --> 01:10:41,525
Choice is yours, Winston.

1130
01:10:41,988 --> 01:10:44,195
You have 24 hours
to enter into peace talks,

1131
01:10:44,282 --> 01:10:45,567
or I shall resign.

1132
01:11:00,256 --> 01:11:01,587
Itold him.

1133
01:11:02,049 --> 01:11:03,505
It shook him.

1134
01:11:04,302 --> 01:11:05,667
I imagine itdid.

1135
01:11:05,762 --> 01:11:07,627
Gave him 24 hours.

1136
01:11:07,722 --> 01:11:10,805
I don't expect he'll agree,
so I shall resign first.

1137
01:11:10,892 --> 01:11:12,848
You then follow,
that's critical if we're

1138
01:11:12,935 --> 01:11:15,017
to trigger a vote
of no confidence
in the House.

1139
01:11:15,521 --> 01:11:16,886
I shall announce it.

1140
01:11:18,858 --> 01:11:20,348
The king will back us.

1141
01:11:36,751 --> 01:11:38,036
Prime Minister.

1142
01:11:38,127 --> 01:11:39,492
I wonder
ifwe might schedule you

1143
01:11:39,587 --> 01:11:40,747
to address the Outer Cabinet.

1144
01:11:42,924 --> 01:11:44,460
ANNOUNCER:
Today, the Admiralty

1145
01:11:44,550 --> 01:11:46,666
have made an order
requesting all owners

1146
01:11:46,761 --> 01:11:48,171
of self-propelled
pleasure craft

1147
01:11:48,262 --> 01:11:50,844
between 30 and 100 feet
in length

1148
01:11:50,932 --> 01:11:54,174
to send all particulars
to the Admiralty immediately...

1149
01:11:54,268 --> 01:11:56,259
To Brigadier Nicholson.

1150
01:11:59,398 --> 01:12:03,516
30 Infantry Brigade, Calais.

1151
01:12:06,572 --> 01:12:07,982
Every hour

1152
01:12:09,033 --> 01:12:11,319
you continue to exist

1153
01:12:12,537 --> 01:12:14,573
is of the greatest help

1154
01:12:15,581 --> 01:12:18,163
to our forces at Dunkirk.

1155
01:12:21,170 --> 01:12:25,880
Have the greatest
possible admiration

1156
01:12:26,843 --> 01:12:28,834
for your splendid stand.

1157
01:12:34,183 --> 01:12:36,265
Your evacuation, however,

1158
01:12:37,019 --> 01:12:39,556
will not take place.

1159
01:12:45,319 --> 01:12:46,900
I repeat,

1160
01:12:49,031 --> 01:12:50,942
will not take place.

1161
01:12:59,417 --> 01:13:00,532
Sign.

1162
01:13:15,850 --> 01:13:17,886
Here. Here.

1163
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:22,804
May I be excused?

1164
01:13:23,190 --> 01:13:24,350
You may not.

1165
01:13:26,319 --> 01:13:28,105
What is this about?

1166
01:13:30,698 --> 01:13:32,359
No one tells us anything.

1167
01:13:34,243 --> 01:13:36,074
It's all classified.

1168
01:13:37,830 --> 01:13:40,822
We hear scraps,
and it's worse
than knowing nothing.

1169
01:13:45,630 --> 01:13:47,370
What would you like to know?

1170
01:13:55,181 --> 01:13:57,638
How many men will survive?

1171
01:14:04,607 --> 01:14:05,892
Come with me.

1172
01:14:14,367 --> 01:14:15,948
I'm not allowed
in the Map Room.

1173
01:14:16,035 --> 01:14:17,571
Well, you are now.
Prime Minister.

1174
01:14:17,662 --> 01:14:20,244
At ease, gentlemen.

1175
01:14:21,958 --> 01:14:23,164
Now...

1176
01:14:26,462 --> 01:14:28,999
The German army
controls every French port

1177
01:14:29,090 --> 01:14:31,547
except Dunkirk here
and Calais here to the west,

1178
01:14:31,634 --> 01:14:34,216
where the garrison
under Brigadier Nicholson

1179
01:14:34,303 --> 01:14:38,421
is drawing fire and delaying
the German advance on Dunkirk.

1180
01:14:38,516 --> 01:14:42,100
At both points,
our troops are encircled.

1181
01:14:42,186 --> 01:14:44,177
Now, we are still trying

1182
01:14:44,271 --> 01:14:46,762
to clear Dunkirk Harbor
of wrecked ships

1183
01:14:46,857 --> 01:14:49,644
so that we can then land
the boats we need to get

1184
01:14:49,735 --> 01:14:51,191
our boys off those beaches.

1185
01:14:51,278 --> 01:14:54,145
But enemy aircraft
is attacking us constantly.

1186
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:58,825
Our only hope in Dunkirk
is thick cloud cover

1187
01:14:59,078 --> 01:15:02,161
to thwart these attacks,
but the skies remain clear.

1188
01:15:02,748 --> 01:15:06,991
And even then, lam told
we will need a...

1189
01:15:07,086 --> 01:15:10,544
a miracle to get even
ten percent of our men out.

1190
01:15:13,676 --> 01:15:16,042
Courage, Miss Layton.

1191
01:15:17,179 --> 01:15:18,464
Courage.

1192
01:15:19,098 --> 01:15:20,338
General.

1193
01:15:20,808 --> 01:15:23,094
How long have they got

1194
01:15:24,437 --> 01:15:25,973
if we don't rescue them?

1195
01:15:29,108 --> 01:15:31,815
One, maybe

1196
01:15:32,945 --> 01:15:34,435
two days.

1197
01:15:40,077 --> 01:15:42,659
News from Calais,
the 30th Infantry, Sir.

1198
01:15:42,747 --> 01:15:44,612
They've retreated
to the town's citadel

1199
01:15:44,707 --> 01:15:47,323
as a last
and probably hopeless stand.

1200
01:15:47,418 --> 01:15:50,080
The order, "every man
for himself," has been given.

1201
01:15:50,171 --> 01:15:51,536
Thank you, thank you.
Brigadier Nicholson.

1202
01:15:51,630 --> 01:15:53,541
There's a telegram, sir.
Thank you.

1203
01:15:58,846 --> 01:16:00,006
Good Show, chaps.

1204
01:16:00,097 --> 01:16:02,554
Well done, lads.
Well done.

1205
01:16:02,641 --> 01:16:04,131
All right.

1206
01:16:07,772 --> 01:16:09,558
He's losing too much blood.

1207
01:16:09,648 --> 01:16:11,855
We need another
transfusion here.

1208
01:16:17,281 --> 01:16:19,192
All right, men? All right?

1209
01:16:32,213 --> 01:16:34,795
Your evacuation, however,

1210
01:16:35,216 --> 01:16:37,753
will not take place.

1211
01:16:39,678 --> 01:16:42,920
I repeat,
will not take place.

1212
01:17:29,979 --> 01:17:31,560
Go to bed, Pig.

1213
01:17:33,399 --> 01:17:35,105
You must sleep.

1214
01:17:37,653 --> 01:17:39,609
Leave me, Clemmie.

1215
01:17:40,281 --> 01:17:43,148
The opportunity for doing so
passed a long time ago.

1216
01:18:14,732 --> 01:18:16,597
OPERATOR: Operator.
How may I direct your call?

1217
01:18:16,734 --> 01:18:19,771
Give me Ramsay.
One moment, please.

1218
01:18:21,155 --> 01:18:23,020
Bertie?
RAMSAY: Sir?

1219
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:24,571
What's been the response?

1220
01:18:24,658 --> 01:18:26,068
It will take time.

1221
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:27,445
It's too soon to judge.

1222
01:18:27,536 --> 01:18:28,992
How many boats so far?

1223
01:18:29,079 --> 01:18:31,035
Winston, it will take time.

1224
01:18:31,123 --> 01:18:34,661
The request for civilian boats,
Bertie, was not a request.

1225
01:18:34,752 --> 01:18:36,788
It was an order!

1226
01:18:51,727 --> 01:18:53,763
Miss Layton.
Sir.

1227
01:18:53,854 --> 01:18:56,641
I need to reach,

1228
01:18:57,107 --> 01:18:58,267
to reach,

1229
01:18:59,443 --> 01:19:00,853
to speak to...

1230
01:19:02,321 --> 01:19:03,356
To?

1231
01:19:04,073 --> 01:19:05,188
3:00 pm.

1232
01:19:05,282 --> 01:19:06,522
3:00 pm, sir?

1233
01:19:07,576 --> 01:19:09,191
Yes. Yes.

1234
01:19:09,286 --> 01:19:12,153
Ask Bridges to summon the...

1235
01:19:13,249 --> 01:19:14,329
Oh, God.

1236
01:19:14,416 --> 01:19:16,748
The War Cabinet, at 3:00 pm.

1237
01:19:16,835 --> 01:19:17,950
Thank you!

1238
01:19:22,132 --> 01:19:23,292
Sir.

1239
01:19:23,884 --> 01:19:26,591
From Lord Gort
in France, sir.

1240
01:19:31,517 --> 01:19:33,724
Belgium has fallen.

1241
01:19:35,688 --> 01:19:38,851
They will surrender
at midnight.

1242
01:19:41,777 --> 01:19:43,768
France will soon follow suit.

1243
01:19:56,792 --> 01:19:58,123
We have received reports

1244
01:19:58,210 --> 01:19:59,916
that the most probable
method of attack

1245
01:20:00,004 --> 01:20:02,211
which Germany might employ
against this country

1246
01:20:02,339 --> 01:20:05,081
is a large fleet
of fast motorboats,

1247
01:20:05,175 --> 01:20:07,917
possibly up to 200,
carrying a hundred men apiece,

1248
01:20:08,012 --> 01:20:10,754
to carry out a seaborne raid
on a large scale.

1249
01:20:10,848 --> 01:20:13,430
By these means,
a considerable
force of the enemy

1250
01:20:13,517 --> 01:20:15,553
could be landed
at many points
on the coast

1251
01:20:15,644 --> 01:20:18,761
simultaneously
with airborne raids inland.

1252
01:20:18,856 --> 01:20:22,599
We do not feel
that by naval
or air action,

1253
01:20:22,693 --> 01:20:24,684
we could prevent such a landing.

1254
01:20:27,281 --> 01:20:28,691
Could you repeat that?

1255
01:20:29,116 --> 01:20:30,447
We must prepare

1256
01:20:30,534 --> 01:20:32,650
for the imminent invasion
of our island.

1257
01:20:36,749 --> 01:20:39,240
We must prepare for
the imminent invasion
of our island.

1258
01:20:40,002 --> 01:20:41,708
We recommend that the country

1259
01:20:41,795 --> 01:20:44,753
should be warned and roused
to the immediate danger,

1260
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:46,296
and that all personnel

1261
01:20:46,383 --> 01:20:49,045
required to put Britain
in a state of defense

1262
01:20:49,136 --> 01:20:52,424
should be mobilized
without a moment's delay.

1263
01:20:52,514 --> 01:20:53,674
Lights.

1264
01:20:59,772 --> 01:21:02,479
Thank you, General.

1265
01:21:05,361 --> 01:21:09,354
Let all preparations be made.

1266
01:21:10,866 --> 01:21:12,777
Let the record state,
I have received word

1267
01:21:12,868 --> 01:21:14,529
from the Italian embassy
in London.

1268
01:21:14,620 --> 01:21:16,781
Italy is prepared
to mediate a resolution

1269
01:21:16,872 --> 01:21:18,988
between Britain,
its allies and Germany.

1270
01:21:25,089 --> 01:21:27,626
Perhaps then,

1271
01:21:29,468 --> 01:21:34,212
the time
for such an offer from us

1272
01:21:34,306 --> 01:21:35,921
is when...

1273
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,515
Well, is when...

1274
01:21:44,900 --> 01:21:50,270
ls when Germany has made
an unsuccessful attempt

1275
01:21:50,364 --> 01:21:52,946
to invade this country.
CHAMBERLAIN: Unsuccessful?

1276
01:21:53,033 --> 01:21:54,944
Then you leave me
no other option
but to offer...

1277
01:21:55,035 --> 01:21:56,775
Winston. Winston!

1278
01:21:57,454 --> 01:22:01,618
You are refusing
to grasp the realities

1279
01:22:01,708 --> 01:22:05,121
of how precarious
our position is.

1280
01:22:05,838 --> 01:22:09,672
Our entire army
is about to be wiped out.

1281
01:22:10,050 --> 01:22:12,883
Terms must be struck.

1282
01:22:17,891 --> 01:22:19,222
Anthony.

1283
01:22:37,619 --> 01:22:40,201
Then it seems we...

1284
01:22:42,166 --> 01:22:44,202
We have no choice

1285
01:22:45,169 --> 01:22:47,785
but to at least consider the

1286
01:22:48,547 --> 01:22:51,664
path of negotiation.

1287
01:22:53,677 --> 01:22:56,714
If Hitler's peace terms are

1288
01:22:58,849 --> 01:23:02,592
over lordship
of Central Europe,

1289
01:23:03,437 --> 01:23:07,430
return of certain
German colonies,

1290
01:23:08,484 --> 01:23:12,523
and if he will leave us

1291
01:23:13,739 --> 01:23:16,025
our independence,

1292
01:23:18,327 --> 01:23:21,490
then I'd be grateful

1293
01:23:22,498 --> 01:23:25,160
to get out of our present...

1294
01:23:26,668 --> 01:23:28,033
difficulties.

1295
01:23:29,671 --> 01:23:31,457
But it is unlikely

1296
01:23:32,424 --> 01:23:35,257
that he will make
such an offer.

1297
01:23:35,344 --> 01:23:40,509
But if I were told
what the German terms were,

1298
01:23:45,229 --> 01:23:49,393
well, then
I'd be prepared
to consider them.

1299
01:23:51,151 --> 01:23:53,358
Thank you, Prime Minister.

1300
01:23:54,196 --> 01:23:56,733
We shall prepare
a draft memorandum
atonce.

1301
01:24:09,294 --> 01:24:13,207
WINSTON: I have come to wonder,

1302
01:24:13,298 --> 01:24:16,131
in recent days...

1303
01:24:20,889 --> 01:24:23,346
whether it was...

1304
01:24:26,186 --> 01:24:28,051
part of my duty...

1305
01:24:31,567 --> 01:24:34,309
part of my...

1306
01:24:35,195 --> 01:24:37,652
part of my duty to...

1307
01:24:39,324 --> 01:24:41,440
to consider...

1308
01:24:43,412 --> 01:24:44,993
to consider,

1309
01:24:51,378 --> 01:24:53,539
to consider...

1310
01:24:56,133 --> 01:24:58,624
...whether it was...

1311
01:24:58,719 --> 01:25:01,005
Will that be all
for tonight, sir?

1312
01:25:05,392 --> 01:25:08,429
...whether it was
part of my duty

1313
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,604
entering into...

1314
01:25:13,525 --> 01:25:16,688
into negotiations with,

1315
01:25:21,491 --> 01:25:22,856
...that...

1316
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:26,985
...that corporal...

1317
01:25:32,961 --> 01:25:34,826
thatcth.

1318
01:25:39,259 --> 01:25:42,171
And monster of wickedness.

1319
01:25:43,930 --> 01:25:45,090
That butcher.

1320
01:25:45,307 --> 01:25:48,674
Thatsavage.

1321
01:25:49,019 --> 01:25:51,305
Monstrous savage.

1322
01:25:58,070 --> 01:25:59,901
That wicked

1323
01:26:01,031 --> 01:26:03,238
house painter.

1324
01:26:06,453 --> 01:26:08,364
House painter!

1325
01:26:15,337 --> 01:26:18,454
Where were we?

1326
01:26:21,927 --> 01:26:23,133
Well?

1327
01:26:26,014 --> 01:26:27,925
I didn't understand you, sir.

1328
01:26:29,476 --> 01:26:30,886
You were...

1329
01:26:31,269 --> 01:26:32,509
Were?

1330
01:26:33,605 --> 01:26:34,890
You were mumbling.

1331
01:26:34,981 --> 01:26:36,721
"Mumbling."

1332
01:26:41,988 --> 01:26:44,900
The right words

1333
01:26:46,451 --> 01:26:47,907
won't come.

1334
01:26:48,537 --> 01:26:49,743
ELIZABETH: They will come, sir.

1335
01:26:50,414 --> 01:26:52,996
No one can put
words together like you.

1336
01:27:03,885 --> 01:27:04,874
WINSTON: Oh!

1337
01:27:15,981 --> 01:27:17,471
Your beau?

1338
01:27:18,859 --> 01:27:20,190
My brother.

1339
01:27:22,904 --> 01:27:24,360
Where is he now?

1340
01:27:25,031 --> 01:27:26,987
He was falling back
on Dunkirk.

1341
01:27:28,618 --> 01:27:30,279
But he never made it.

1342
01:27:54,936 --> 01:27:56,096
What?

1343
01:28:01,693 --> 01:28:03,604
Just looking at you.

1344
01:28:30,555 --> 01:28:32,295
Shall I read back
what we have?

1345
01:28:34,851 --> 01:28:37,012
Yes, please.

1346
01:28:42,901 --> 01:28:45,938
"I have come to wonder
in recent days

1347
01:28:46,863 --> 01:28:49,229
"whether it was my duty
to consider

1348
01:28:49,324 --> 01:28:53,784
entering into negotiations
with..."

1349
01:28:57,499 --> 01:28:58,909
WINSTON: With?

1350
01:29:47,090 --> 01:29:49,126
I've just been standing,

1351
01:29:49,426 --> 01:29:53,385
imagining never
being here anymore,

1352
01:29:54,472 --> 01:29:56,884
whether it is because
I'm no longer alive

1353
01:29:56,975 --> 01:29:59,307
or that the palace
itself is gone.

1354
01:29:59,394 --> 01:30:01,180
Canada.

1355
01:30:02,397 --> 01:30:03,807
You must decide, sir.

1356
01:30:04,482 --> 01:30:05,642
You could rule in exile.

1357
01:30:05,734 --> 01:30:08,225
Truly? IS that to be
my fate?

1358
01:30:13,283 --> 01:30:14,648
You know something?

1359
01:30:14,743 --> 01:30:18,110
I'm aware
in this moment
of feeling angry.

1360
01:30:20,790 --> 01:30:22,405
Bloody angry.

1361
01:30:26,087 --> 01:30:27,793
Darling.

1362
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,540
Winston, darling.

1363
01:30:35,347 --> 01:30:36,928
There's someone to see you.

1364
01:30:37,599 --> 01:30:38,930
You have a visitor.

1365
01:30:50,278 --> 01:30:52,564
My darling, you have
the full weight

1366
01:30:52,656 --> 01:30:54,271
of the world
on your shoulders.

1367
01:30:54,950 --> 01:30:56,781
No, I know, I know.

1368
01:30:56,868 --> 01:30:59,325
But these inner battles

1369
01:31:00,872 --> 01:31:03,363
have actually trained you

1370
01:31:03,917 --> 01:31:05,327
for this very moment.

1371
01:31:06,211 --> 01:31:08,873
You are strong because
you are imperfect.

1372
01:31:08,964 --> 01:31:13,003
You are wise
because you have doubts.

1373
01:31:15,261 --> 01:31:17,673
Now, shall I let him in?

1374
01:31:19,432 --> 01:31:20,638
Who?

1375
01:31:21,685 --> 01:31:22,845
The king.

1376
01:31:22,936 --> 01:31:24,972
Which king?

1377
01:31:25,689 --> 01:31:27,520
Our king?

1378
01:31:27,607 --> 01:31:30,815
Well, if it isn't him,
it's a marvelous
impersonation.

1379
01:31:40,537 --> 01:31:41,993
Mr. Churchill.

1380
01:31:42,288 --> 01:31:45,780
I hope you can forgive
the late hour, but

1381
01:31:45,875 --> 01:31:49,333
your wife thought tonight
would be a good time.

1382
01:31:50,797 --> 01:31:52,003
Shall we sit?

1383
01:31:52,424 --> 01:31:53,789
Oh, yes.

1384
01:31:53,883 --> 01:31:55,669
Please.

1385
01:31:59,889 --> 01:32:01,550
Something to drink, perhaps?

1386
01:32:01,641 --> 01:32:02,756
No.

1387
01:32:09,941 --> 01:32:15,311
I received a visit.

1388
01:32:16,364 --> 01:32:17,604
From?

1389
01:32:17,699 --> 01:32:19,189
Viscount Halifax.

1390
01:32:19,284 --> 01:32:22,151
It appears that
the prospect
of a peace deal

1391
01:32:23,538 --> 01:32:26,996
has increased dramatically.

1392
01:32:28,668 --> 01:32:33,082
The War Cabinet is drafting
a letter to Mussolini,

1393
01:32:33,798 --> 01:32:38,963
asking him to broker talks
with Herr Hitler.

1394
01:32:42,223 --> 01:32:45,306
Then Halifax was correct.

1395
01:32:47,562 --> 01:32:49,848
I should like to know
your mind.

1396
01:32:49,939 --> 01:32:52,931
It would be helpful
to know yours first.

1397
01:32:53,276 --> 01:32:56,689
I should like
to know it myself.

1398
01:32:58,531 --> 01:33:00,647
Naflons

1399
01:33:01,117 --> 01:33:04,280
which go down fighting
rise again, and those

1400
01:33:05,246 --> 01:33:07,532
that surrender tamely
are finished.

1401
01:33:07,624 --> 01:33:08,864
Belgium?

1402
01:33:09,834 --> 01:33:11,244
Collapsed.
Norway?

1403
01:33:11,336 --> 01:33:12,667
Holland.

1404
01:33:13,254 --> 01:33:14,869
France any hour.

1405
01:33:14,964 --> 01:33:16,374
And the mood of Parliament?

1406
01:33:16,466 --> 01:33:17,546
Fear. Panic.

1407
01:33:17,634 --> 01:33:19,170
And you?

1408
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:22,631
Are you not afraid?

1409
01:33:24,015 --> 01:33:27,052
I am, most terribly.

1410
01:33:28,728 --> 01:33:33,472
Support in the War Cabinet

1411
01:33:34,651 --> 01:33:36,858
for the campaign of resistance

1412
01:33:38,238 --> 01:33:39,444
has collapsed.

1413
01:33:47,622 --> 01:33:53,117
Later today,
I will address the House
accordingly.

1414
01:34:03,930 --> 01:34:05,761
You have my support.

1415
01:34:13,064 --> 01:34:14,645
Your Majesty?

1416
01:34:15,692 --> 01:34:17,808
You have my support.

1417
01:34:20,238 --> 01:34:21,774
I confess, I

1418
01:34:22,657 --> 01:34:26,570
had some reservations
about you at first, but

1419
01:34:26,661 --> 01:34:30,199
while some in this country
dreaded your appointment,

1420
01:34:30,290 --> 01:34:34,408
none, none dreaded it
like Adolf Hitler.

1421
01:34:34,502 --> 01:34:38,290
Whomever can strike fear
into that brute heart

1422
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,377
is worthy of all of our trust.

1423
01:34:41,885 --> 01:34:43,170
We shall work together.

1424
01:34:43,261 --> 01:34:46,128
You shall have my support
at any hour.

1425
01:34:46,806 --> 01:34:48,421
Beat the buggers.

1426
01:34:49,851 --> 01:34:51,512
I will go to Parliament.

1427
01:34:52,437 --> 01:34:55,600
But without support
in my own party,

1428
01:34:56,191 --> 01:34:58,056
I must sue for peace.

1429
01:35:02,113 --> 01:35:03,569
You once gave me some advice.

1430
01:35:03,656 --> 01:35:06,068
Perhaps I can...
I can give you some.

1431
01:35:07,327 --> 01:35:09,033
Go to the people.

1432
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:11,486
Let them instruct you.

1433
01:35:11,581 --> 01:35:14,618
Quite Silently,
they usually do.

1434
01:35:15,043 --> 01:35:16,408
But tell them

1435
01:35:17,462 --> 01:35:20,124
the truth unvarnished.

1436
01:35:20,215 --> 01:35:22,627
If invasion is imminent,

1437
01:35:22,717 --> 01:35:24,833
if our troops in France
are lost,

1438
01:35:25,261 --> 01:35:26,842
they must be prepared.

1439
01:35:30,308 --> 01:35:32,094
On certain matters,

1440
01:35:34,062 --> 01:35:38,431
I have very few people
with whom I can

1441
01:35:38,858 --> 01:35:41,565
talk frankly.

1442
01:35:41,653 --> 01:35:43,393
Perhaps now we have each other.

1443
01:35:45,531 --> 01:35:47,943
And I no longer scare you?

1444
01:35:48,034 --> 01:35:49,695
A little.

1445
01:35:50,119 --> 01:35:51,609
But I can cope.

1446
01:36:02,006 --> 01:36:03,837
RAMSAY: We are ready.
More or less.

1447
01:36:03,925 --> 01:36:06,337
WINSTON: More or less
what, Bertie?

1448
01:36:06,427 --> 01:36:07,963
Give me a number.

1449
01:36:08,054 --> 01:36:10,716
In total, 860 vessels.

1450
01:36:10,807 --> 01:36:13,549
The biggest civilian
fleet ever assembled.

1451
01:36:13,643 --> 01:36:16,180
Operation Dynamo
waits on your command.

1452
01:36:16,271 --> 01:36:17,932
Admiral,

1453
01:36:18,523 --> 01:36:21,390
initiate Dynamo.

1454
01:36:21,484 --> 01:36:24,191
And may God
watch over them all.

1455
01:37:49,322 --> 01:37:51,028
We've lost the prime minister.

1456
01:38:13,346 --> 01:38:15,428
Do you know
how to use this thing?

1457
01:38:15,515 --> 01:38:16,595
Yes, sir.

1458
01:38:17,850 --> 01:38:19,932
How do I get to Westminster?

1459
01:38:20,019 --> 01:38:21,680
Westminster.

1460
01:38:22,939 --> 01:38:25,351
The District Line, east.
One stop.

1461
01:38:25,441 --> 01:38:28,148
District Line.
East. One stop.

1462
01:38:28,236 --> 01:38:30,648
Well, that doesn't
sound so hard.

1463
01:38:30,738 --> 01:38:31,818
No, sir.

1464
01:38:31,906 --> 01:38:33,362
Thank you.

1465
01:38:33,449 --> 01:38:34,939
Thank you, sir.

1466
01:38:35,034 --> 01:38:39,448
The memorandum is titled
"Suggested Approaches
to Italy"

1467
01:38:39,539 --> 01:38:40,904
and is as follows.

1468
01:38:40,998 --> 01:38:44,411
CHAMBERLAIN: "If
Signor Mussolini
will cooperate with us

1469
01:38:44,502 --> 01:38:48,336
"in securing a settlement
of all European questions

1470
01:38:48,423 --> 01:38:50,209
"which safeguard
theindependence

1471
01:38:50,299 --> 01:38:54,508
"and security of the allies,
and could be the basis

1472
01:38:54,595 --> 01:38:57,462
"of a just and durable
peace for Europe,

1473
01:38:57,557 --> 01:39:00,674
"we will undertake
at once to discuss,

1474
01:39:01,060 --> 01:39:03,301
"with the desire
to find solutions,

1475
01:39:03,396 --> 01:39:05,887
"the matters in which
Signor Mussolini

1476
01:39:05,982 --> 01:39:08,064
"is primarily interested.

1477
01:39:08,151 --> 01:39:11,484
"We understand that
he desires the solution

1478
01:39:11,571 --> 01:39:13,983
”of certain
Mediterranean questions,

1479
01:39:14,073 --> 01:39:17,941
”and if he will state
in secrecy what these are,

1480
01:39:18,035 --> 01:39:20,993
"France and Great Britain
will at once

1481
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:23,366
”do their best
to meet his wishes. "

1482
01:39:28,796 --> 01:39:32,755
So, this is the Underground.

1483
01:39:45,521 --> 01:39:46,761
Thank you.

1484
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:27,181
Does anyone have a match?

1485
01:40:32,818 --> 01:40:34,183
Thank you.

1486
01:40:35,655 --> 01:40:37,270
Thank you.

1487
01:40:39,825 --> 01:40:41,986
What are you all staring at?

1488
01:40:42,078 --> 01:40:44,535
Have you never seen
the prime minister

1489
01:40:44,622 --> 01:40:46,453
ride the Underground before?

1490
01:40:49,502 --> 01:40:50,912
What is your name?

1491
01:40:51,003 --> 01:40:52,914
Oliver Wilson, sir.

1492
01:40:54,298 --> 01:40:56,004
And what do you do,
Mr. Wilson?

1493
01:40:56,092 --> 01:40:59,300
Bricklayer, sir.
Ah, bricklayer.

1494
01:40:59,387 --> 01:41:02,720
We shall have great need
of bricklayers soon.

1495
01:41:02,807 --> 01:41:04,343
Business will be looking up.

1496
01:41:08,980 --> 01:41:10,641
Progress.

1497
01:41:16,279 --> 01:41:17,439
How old?

1498
01:41:17,530 --> 01:41:18,690
Five months, sir.

1499
01:41:18,781 --> 01:41:20,897
He looks like you.

1500
01:41:21,534 --> 01:41:24,071
Madam, all babies
look like me.

1501
01:41:26,789 --> 01:41:28,120
Well, what is your name?

1502
01:41:28,207 --> 01:41:29,868
Mrs. Jessie Sutton.

1503
01:41:29,959 --> 01:41:31,790
Ah, Mrs. Sutton.

1504
01:41:31,877 --> 01:41:33,287
It's a pleasure.

1505
01:41:33,879 --> 01:41:35,460
Abigail.

1506
01:41:35,798 --> 01:41:37,004
Abigail Walker.

1507
01:41:37,091 --> 01:41:40,083
Marcus Peters.
WINSTON: Marcus Peters.

1508
01:41:42,847 --> 01:41:45,008
Agnes Dillon.
WINSTON: Agnes.

1509
01:41:45,099 --> 01:41:47,681
Maurice Baker.
WINSTON: Mr. Baker.

1510
01:41:47,768 --> 01:41:50,054
Alice Simpson.
WINSTON: Alice Simpson.

1511
01:41:50,146 --> 01:41:51,932
Miss Margaret Jerome.

1512
01:41:52,315 --> 01:41:53,930
Oh, a Jerome.

1513
01:41:54,025 --> 01:41:55,981
My mother was a Jerome.

1514
01:41:56,068 --> 01:41:59,231
I expect
we are closely related.

1515
01:42:00,281 --> 01:42:02,067
Please, please. Sit.

1516
01:42:02,158 --> 01:42:03,364
Sit, everyone.

1517
01:42:06,996 --> 01:42:09,078
Thank you, Mr. Baker.

1518
01:42:09,165 --> 01:42:13,909
So, how are you all,
how are you all bearing up?

1519
01:42:15,004 --> 01:42:16,869
Good spirits?

1520
01:42:16,964 --> 01:42:18,329
Yes.
Yes?

1521
01:42:18,424 --> 01:42:20,085
Just as well.

1522
01:42:20,176 --> 01:42:22,007
We shall need them.

1523
01:42:24,138 --> 01:42:25,924
Let me ask you something

1524
01:42:26,390 --> 01:42:29,974
that's been weighing
on my mind.

1525
01:42:30,061 --> 01:42:32,973
Perhaps you can
provide me with an answer.

1526
01:42:33,522 --> 01:42:37,606
You, the British people.

1527
01:42:38,569 --> 01:42:40,480
What is your mood?

1528
01:42:41,072 --> 01:42:44,030
Is it confident?

1529
01:42:44,116 --> 01:42:46,323
Yeah.
If confident, how confident?

1530
01:42:46,410 --> 01:42:49,322
Very.
Some people say
it's a lost cause.

1531
01:42:49,413 --> 01:42:51,074
No, lost causes
are the only ones

1532
01:42:51,165 --> 01:42:53,156
worth fighting for.
Too right.

1533
01:42:53,250 --> 01:42:55,161
WINSTON: Yes.
Now let me ask you this.

1534
01:42:55,252 --> 01:42:57,208
If the worst came to pass

1535
01:42:57,296 --> 01:43:01,335
and the enemy
were to appear on those...

1536
01:43:01,425 --> 01:43:04,417
those streets above,
what would you do?

1537
01:43:04,512 --> 01:43:06,343
Fight.
Fight the fascists.

1538
01:43:06,430 --> 01:43:08,011
Fight them with anything
we can lay our hands on.

1539
01:43:08,099 --> 01:43:10,590
Broom handles if we must.
Street by street.

1540
01:43:10,685 --> 01:43:12,391
They will never
take Piccadilly.

1541
01:43:13,145 --> 01:43:15,682
Never take Piccadilly, indeed.

1542
01:43:15,773 --> 01:43:18,856
And what if
I put it to you all

1543
01:43:18,943 --> 01:43:24,654
that we might,
ifwe, if we ask nicely

1544
01:43:24,740 --> 01:43:28,824
get very favorable terms
from Mr. Hitler

1545
01:43:28,911 --> 01:43:32,824
ifwe enter into a peace deal
with him right now?

1546
01:43:33,290 --> 01:43:34,871
What would you say to that?

1547
01:43:34,959 --> 01:43:37,496
ALL: Never! Never! Never!

1548
01:43:37,586 --> 01:43:39,247
Never! Never!

1549
01:43:47,471 --> 01:43:48,711
WINSTON: Never.

1550
01:43:50,850 --> 01:43:52,135
Neven

1551
01:43:53,394 --> 01:43:55,180
Will you never give up?

1552
01:43:55,271 --> 01:43:56,807
No. Never.

1553
01:43:58,441 --> 01:44:03,105
"Then out spake brave Horatius,

1554
01:44:05,406 --> 01:44:07,988
"Captain of the Gate:

1555
01:44:09,201 --> 01:44:12,318
"To every man upon this earth

1556
01:44:12,413 --> 01:44:17,077
"Death cometh soon or late.

1557
01:44:17,877 --> 01:44:22,496
"And how can man die better

1558
01:44:22,590 --> 01:44:25,002
"Than facing fearful odds

1559
01:44:27,511 --> 01:44:30,127
"For the ashes..."
"For the ashes of his fathers

1560
01:44:30,598 --> 01:44:33,340
"And the temples of his Gods."

1561
01:44:43,277 --> 01:44:44,687
Are you crying?

1562
01:44:46,781 --> 01:44:49,523
Yes, yes. I...

1563
01:44:49,867 --> 01:44:51,983
I blub a lot, you know.

1564
01:44:53,621 --> 01:44:55,953
You'll have to get used to it.

1565
01:44:58,334 --> 01:45:00,290
What stop is this?

1566
01:45:00,711 --> 01:45:02,793
It's Westminster, sir.

1567
01:45:03,214 --> 01:45:06,581
Westminster. It's my stop.

1568
01:45:38,457 --> 01:45:39,822
Prime Minister.

1569
01:45:42,670 --> 01:45:43,750
Sir.

1570
01:45:45,548 --> 01:45:47,209
The War Cabinet.

1571
01:45:47,299 --> 01:45:48,709
Sir, they're waiting.

1572
01:45:48,801 --> 01:45:51,383
I'm due to address
the Outer Cabinet.

1573
01:45:52,263 --> 01:45:53,673
VVhen?
Now.

1574
01:45:53,764 --> 01:45:55,550
I haven't spoken to them

1575
01:45:55,641 --> 01:45:57,552
since the formation
of the new government.

1576
01:46:01,230 --> 01:46:02,845
Prime Minister.
Good day, gentlemen.

1577
01:46:02,940 --> 01:46:05,022
Prime Minister...

1578
01:46:05,109 --> 01:46:09,398
I-I'm about to, Speak to
my Outer Cabinet in my rooms,

1579
01:46:09,488 --> 01:46:12,696
and I extend
the invitation to
any of you

1580
01:46:12,783 --> 01:46:14,239
who would care to join them.

1581
01:46:16,328 --> 01:46:18,819
Let's go.
Let's go.

1582
01:46:37,099 --> 01:46:38,589
This afternoon,

1583
01:46:41,103 --> 01:46:43,185
I shall address the House

1584
01:46:44,523 --> 01:46:47,640
on the matter
of our nation's security.

1585
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,483
At this very moment,
the War Cabinet

1586
01:46:52,573 --> 01:46:56,566
is drafting papers
that lay out a willingness

1587
01:46:56,660 --> 01:47:00,073
to enter into peace talks
with Herr Hitler,

1588
01:47:00,789 --> 01:47:02,450
Via his

1589
01:47:03,292 --> 01:47:05,749
his lackey, Mussolini.

1590
01:47:07,796 --> 01:47:12,711
I have thought
very carefully
in these last days

1591
01:47:12,801 --> 01:47:15,417
whether it was part of my duty

1592
01:47:16,138 --> 01:47:20,347
to consider entering
into negotiations with...

1593
01:47:24,521 --> 01:47:26,182
With that man.

1594
01:47:28,525 --> 01:47:30,607
But then I...

1595
01:47:32,863 --> 01:47:36,196
I spoke with

1596
01:47:39,620 --> 01:47:41,281
Oliver Wilson,

1597
01:47:42,289 --> 01:47:44,871
Mrs. Jessie Sutton,

1598
01:47:45,584 --> 01:47:49,042
Mrs. Abigail Walker,

1599
01:47:49,421 --> 01:47:51,662
Marcus Peters,

1600
01:47:51,757 --> 01:47:53,918
Maurice Baker,

1601
01:47:54,009 --> 01:47:55,499
Alice Simpson

1602
01:47:55,594 --> 01:47:58,336
and Miss Margaret Jerome.

1603
01:47:58,722 --> 01:48:00,963
Brave, good, true citizens
of this kingdom.

1604
01:48:01,058 --> 01:48:05,142
And they argued strongly
that it was idle to think,

1605
01:48:05,229 --> 01:48:08,096
ifwe tried to make peace now,

1606
01:48:08,190 --> 01:48:11,899
we should get better terms
than ifwe fought it out.

1607
01:48:12,945 --> 01:48:17,655
The Germans, Mr. Baker felt,

1608
01:48:17,992 --> 01:48:21,450
would demand,
in the name of disarmament,

1609
01:48:21,537 --> 01:48:23,619
our naval bases and much else,

1610
01:48:23,706 --> 01:48:25,492
and I think he's right.

1611
01:48:25,582 --> 01:48:29,575
Jessie Sutton,
speaking for many,

1612
01:48:29,670 --> 01:48:33,162
believes we would then
become a...

1613
01:48:33,257 --> 01:48:35,213
a slave state.

1614
01:48:35,759 --> 01:48:39,627
A British government
which would be
Hitler's puppet.

1615
01:48:39,722 --> 01:48:43,965
A government set up
under Mosley

1616
01:48:44,059 --> 01:48:46,175
or some such person.
No, no.

1617
01:48:46,270 --> 01:48:49,979
And Ijoin with them in asking
a further question.

1618
01:48:50,065 --> 01:48:52,556
A question I now put to you.

1619
01:48:53,277 --> 01:48:57,316
Where Should we be
at the end of all that?

1620
01:49:02,578 --> 01:49:04,409
Some might benefit.

1621
01:49:04,621 --> 01:49:08,785
I mean, the powerful might
be able to parlay good terms,

1622
01:49:08,876 --> 01:49:11,788
preserved in their
country redoubts,

1623
01:49:11,879 --> 01:49:16,248
out of sight of the swastika
flying over

1624
01:49:16,341 --> 01:49:18,878
over Buckingham Palace!

1625
01:49:18,969 --> 01:49:21,005
Over Windsor!

1626
01:49:21,346 --> 01:49:23,837
And, draped on
these very buildings!

1627
01:49:23,932 --> 01:49:25,718
Never! Never!
No! No!

1628
01:49:25,809 --> 01:49:27,800
So I come to you...

1629
01:49:29,521 --> 01:49:32,183
I come to you

1630
01:49:33,233 --> 01:49:37,192
to learn your minds
in this grave hour.

1631
01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:41,192
You see,
it was pointed out to me

1632
01:49:41,283 --> 01:49:45,401
by my new friends
that you might even rise up

1633
01:49:45,496 --> 01:49:48,488
and tear me down
were I for one moment

1634
01:49:48,582 --> 01:49:50,573
to contemplate parlay
or surrender.

1635
01:49:55,589 --> 01:49:56,829
Were they wrong?

1636
01:49:56,924 --> 01:49:58,209
No!

1637
01:49:58,300 --> 01:49:59,631
Were they wrong?
No!

1638
01:49:59,718 --> 01:50:01,333
Were they wrong?

1639
01:50:01,470 --> 01:50:03,335
No!
Thank you. Thank you.

1640
01:50:03,430 --> 01:50:04,886
Then I have heard you.

1641
01:50:05,349 --> 01:50:07,055
I have heard you.

1642
01:50:09,353 --> 01:50:13,221
It appears to be
your will also

1643
01:50:13,774 --> 01:50:18,689
that if this long island story
of ours is to end at last,

1644
01:50:18,779 --> 01:50:22,613
then let it end
only when each one of us

1645
01:50:22,866 --> 01:50:27,360
lies choking
in his own blood
upon the ground!

1646
01:50:27,454 --> 01:50:30,412
Yes!
Bravo!

1647
01:50:30,499 --> 01:50:31,784
Yes.

1648
01:50:34,294 --> 01:50:36,706
WINSTON: And when I asked
to know their minds,

1649
01:50:36,797 --> 01:50:38,662
there occurred
a demonstration which,

1650
01:50:38,757 --> 01:50:40,964
considering the character
of the gathering,

1651
01:50:41,051 --> 01:50:42,837
quite surprised me.

1652
01:50:43,512 --> 01:50:47,972
There is no doubt
that if we falter at all

1653
01:50:48,058 --> 01:50:49,889
in the leading of the nation,

1654
01:50:49,977 --> 01:50:52,764
we should all be hurled
out of office.

1655
01:50:53,438 --> 01:50:54,974
I am sure now
that every minister

1656
01:50:55,065 --> 01:50:56,430
on both sides of the House

1657
01:50:56,525 --> 01:50:59,016
is ready to be killed
quite soon,

1658
01:50:59,111 --> 01:51:02,194
and have all his family
and possessions destroyed,

1659
01:51:02,281 --> 01:51:03,862
rather than give in.

1660
01:51:04,783 --> 01:51:08,492
In this, they represent
almost all the people.

1661
01:51:09,204 --> 01:51:13,948
And it falls to me
in these coming days and months

1662
01:51:14,418 --> 01:51:18,081
to express their sentiments.

1663
01:51:20,549 --> 01:51:25,088
There shall be
no negotiated peace.

1664
01:51:29,474 --> 01:51:31,840
And you must each do now

1665
01:51:32,519 --> 01:51:34,134
as you see fit.

1666
01:51:38,984 --> 01:51:42,272
Ifyou will excuse me,
gentlemen

1667
01:51:42,362 --> 01:51:45,900
I believe lam due
to address Parliament.

1668
01:51:46,408 --> 01:51:50,321
And I have yet to write
a word of my speech.

1669
01:51:50,412 --> 01:51:52,073
There's the buggers.

1670
01:51:55,417 --> 01:51:57,032
Tiny.
Sir.

1671
01:52:02,966 --> 01:52:05,002
Miss Layton.
Sir.

1672
01:52:05,510 --> 01:52:06,920
I am in need of you.

1673
01:52:09,348 --> 01:52:12,181
We must both now resign,
force a vote of no confidence.

1674
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,142
Well, let us go
to the Commons first,

1675
01:52:16,855 --> 01:52:17,935
join our colleagues.

1676
01:52:19,316 --> 01:52:22,900
Then speak after
the prime minister's address.

1677
01:52:42,256 --> 01:52:44,588
Here is a woman
who's always tired,

1678
01:52:45,550 --> 01:52:49,338
for she lives a life
where too much is required.

1679
01:53:17,291 --> 01:53:19,532
SPEAKER: The Prime Minister.

1680
01:53:28,844 --> 01:53:32,962
Turning once again
to the question
of invasion,

1681
01:53:33,056 --> 01:53:37,140
I would observe that there
has never been a period

1682
01:53:37,227 --> 01:53:40,719
in all these long centuries
of which we boast

1683
01:53:40,814 --> 01:53:46,434
when an absolute guarantee
against invasion

1684
01:53:46,903 --> 01:53:49,815
could have been given
to our people.

1685
01:53:50,699 --> 01:53:52,439
Hear, hear.

1686
01:53:56,747 --> 01:53:58,612
But I have myself

1687
01:53:59,541 --> 01:54:03,454
full confidence
that if all do their duty,

1688
01:54:04,004 --> 01:54:06,541
if nothing is neglected,

1689
01:54:07,007 --> 01:54:08,588
and the best arrangements
are made,

1690
01:54:08,675 --> 01:54:11,212
as they are being made,

1691
01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:14,587
we shall prove ourselves
once more able

1692
01:54:14,681 --> 01:54:17,172
to defend our island home.

1693
01:54:17,267 --> 01:54:21,636
To ride out the storm of war

1694
01:54:22,189 --> 01:54:25,556
and to outlive
the menace of tyranny.

1695
01:54:25,650 --> 01:54:27,481
If necessary

1696
01:54:27,903 --> 01:54:31,737
for years, if necessary

1697
01:54:32,866 --> 01:54:34,072
alone.

1698
01:54:36,078 --> 01:54:38,694
At any rate,
that is what we are

1699
01:54:38,789 --> 01:54:40,620
are going to try to do.

1700
01:54:41,166 --> 01:54:45,910
That is the resolve
of His Majesty's Government,

1701
01:54:46,004 --> 01:54:47,744
every man of them.
To your right, please.

1702
01:54:48,215 --> 01:54:50,422
That is the Will

1703
01:54:50,509 --> 01:54:52,875
of Parliament and the nation.

1704
01:54:52,969 --> 01:54:55,210
Hear, hear.

1705
01:54:56,098 --> 01:54:57,929
The British Empire

1706
01:54:58,016 --> 01:54:59,677
and the French Republic,

1707
01:54:59,768 --> 01:55:03,932
linked together
in their cause
and in their need,

1708
01:55:04,231 --> 01:55:06,768
will defend to the death

1709
01:55:06,858 --> 01:55:08,769
their native soil.

1710
01:55:08,860 --> 01:55:10,191
Hear, hear!

1711
01:55:10,278 --> 01:55:14,066
Aiding each other
like good comrades

1712
01:55:14,533 --> 01:55:17,070
to the utmost
of their strength.

1713
01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:18,240
Hear, hear.

1714
01:55:20,455 --> 01:55:24,573
Eventhough
large tracts of Europe

1715
01:55:24,876 --> 01:55:26,912
and many old and famous states

1716
01:55:27,003 --> 01:55:31,292
have fallen
or may fall into

1717
01:55:31,383 --> 01:55:34,967
the grip of the Gestapo

1718
01:55:35,220 --> 01:55:39,429
and all the odious apparatus
of the Nazi rule,

1719
01:55:40,225 --> 01:55:43,058
we shall not flag or fail.

1720
01:55:44,354 --> 01:55:47,061
We shall go on to the end!

1721
01:55:47,149 --> 01:55:49,140
Hear, hear!

1722
01:55:52,279 --> 01:55:55,237
We shall fight in France.

1723
01:55:55,949 --> 01:56:00,033
We shall fight
on the seas
and the oceans.

1724
01:56:00,537 --> 01:56:04,246
We shall fight
with growing confidence

1725
01:56:04,332 --> 01:56:06,288
and growing strengths
in the air.

1726
01:56:06,376 --> 01:56:07,707
Hear, hear!

1727
01:56:07,794 --> 01:56:11,127
We shall defend our island,

1728
01:56:11,214 --> 01:56:13,830
whatever the cost may be.

1729
01:56:13,925 --> 01:56:16,041
Hear, hear.

1730
01:56:16,344 --> 01:56:19,302
We shall fight on the beaches.

1731
01:56:19,389 --> 01:56:23,098
We shall fight
on the landing grounds.

1732
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:26,643
We shall fight in the fields

1733
01:56:26,730 --> 01:56:28,971
and in the streets.

1734
01:56:29,399 --> 01:56:32,232
We shall fight in the hills.

1735
01:56:32,652 --> 01:56:34,813
We shall never surrender!

1736
01:56:37,365 --> 01:56:40,198
Hear, hear.
Hear, hear.

1737
01:56:44,498 --> 01:56:45,954
And if...

1738
01:56:50,128 --> 01:56:51,743
And if

1739
01:56:53,256 --> 01:56:56,373
which I do not
for a moment believe,

1740
01:56:56,635 --> 01:57:01,174
this island
or large part of it were...

1741
01:57:01,264 --> 01:57:04,381
were subjugated
and starving,

1742
01:57:05,101 --> 01:57:09,470
then our empire
beyond the seas,

1743
01:57:09,564 --> 01:57:13,603
armed and guarded
by the British fleet,

1744
01:57:14,110 --> 01:57:17,944
would carry on the struggle.
Hear, hear!

1745
01:57:18,532 --> 01:57:20,773
Until, in God's good time,

1746
01:57:21,284 --> 01:57:26,119
the New World,
with all its power
and might,

1747
01:57:26,623 --> 01:57:29,330
steps forth to the rescue

1748
01:57:29,417 --> 01:57:32,159
and the liberation of the old!

1749
01:58:09,374 --> 01:58:10,989
Bravo!

1750
01:58:11,084 --> 01:58:12,494
Victory!

1751
01:58:13,712 --> 01:58:17,876
Victory! Victory!

1752
01:58:22,470 --> 01:58:24,051
Changed your mind?

1753
01:58:24,806 --> 01:58:26,671
Those who never
change their mind

1754
01:58:27,142 --> 01:58:28,882
never change anything.

1755
01:58:32,147 --> 01:58:33,512
What just happened?

1756
01:58:34,608 --> 01:58:36,894
He mobilized
the English language

1757
01:58:38,194 --> 01:58:40,105
and sent it into battle.
