1
00:02:24,909 --> 00:02:26,442
Here, have one of these.

2
00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:51,027
Fuck me.

3
00:03:17,629 --> 00:03:19,055
Right.

4
00:03:20,526 --> 00:03:23,031
Are you sure there's time?

5
00:03:23,032 --> 00:03:24,566
There's time.

6
00:03:31,008 --> 00:03:32,970
Thank you.

7
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,849
Did they say how long
you'll be gone for?

8
00:03:45,055 --> 00:03:46,588
No, they didn't say.

9
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,158
I'm very proud
they chose you, Jim.

10
00:04:00,102 --> 00:04:01,537
I'll be fine.

11
00:04:03,774 --> 00:04:05,244
Go.

12
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:08,073
Okay.

13
00:04:31,936 --> 00:04:33,305
Morning, sir.

14
00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:17,510
Sir.

15
00:05:17,511 --> 00:05:19,308
Group Captain Dr. James Stagg,

16
00:05:19,309 --> 00:05:22,581
chief meteorological officer,
reporting for duty.

17
00:05:22,582 --> 00:05:24,285
I.D. card and pass, please, sir.

18
00:05:24,286 --> 00:05:25,720
Right this way, sir.

19
00:05:26,751 --> 00:05:28,591
Welcome to Southwick House, sir.

20
00:05:30,493 --> 00:05:32,028
I'm Andrew Carter
with the Met Office.

21
00:05:32,029 --> 00:05:33,130
I'll be your ADC.

22
00:05:33,131 --> 00:05:34,663
Mm-hmm.

23
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:48,348
I must admit it's a great honor
to meet you, Dr. Stagg.

24
00:05:48,349 --> 00:05:50,180
I so enjoyed your paper
on terrestrial magnetism.

25
00:05:50,181 --> 00:05:51,816
It's a fascinating subject.

26
00:05:51,817 --> 00:05:53,550
It is, yes.

27
00:06:10,464 --> 00:06:12,129
And here we are, sir.

28
00:06:27,748 --> 00:06:29,351
Operations rooms
are upstairs, sir.

29
00:06:29,352 --> 00:06:30,884
Teleprinters are in the cellars.

30
00:06:30,885 --> 00:06:33,122
And our forecast room
is just through here.

31
00:06:43,931 --> 00:06:45,568
- Where can I put this down?
- Anywhere, sir.

32
00:06:45,569 --> 00:06:48,434
We'll have someone
take it to your tent.

33
00:06:48,435 --> 00:06:49,902
What are these?

34
00:06:49,903 --> 00:06:51,609
They're historical
analog charts.

35
00:06:51,610 --> 00:06:53,344
I know what they are,
but what are they doing here?

36
00:06:53,345 --> 00:06:55,210
Colonel Krick,
he requested them.

37
00:06:56,876 --> 00:06:59,442
Well, which one is he?
Introduce me.

38
00:06:59,443 --> 00:07:01,078
I believe he's with General...

39
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:03,184
Can you stop!
Stop the banging, please.

40
00:07:06,393 --> 00:07:08,026
I believe
he's with General Eisenhower

41
00:07:08,027 --> 00:07:09,560
at the moment, sir.

42
00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:14,389
I'll call you back.

43
00:07:17,033 --> 00:07:18,201
Sir.

44
00:07:18,202 --> 00:07:19,634
What's coming through?

45
00:07:19,635 --> 00:07:23,207
Soundings at 53 north,
35 west, sir.

46
00:07:23,208 --> 00:07:25,304
Mm-hmm. Weather ship Hoste, yes?

47
00:07:25,305 --> 00:07:26,808
Yes, sir.

48
00:07:26,809 --> 00:07:28,910
Uh, Casey and Bryant here
are linked directly

49
00:07:28,911 --> 00:07:30,909
to the teleprinter ops
at Dunstable and Bushy Park.

50
00:07:30,910 --> 00:07:32,875
- Which one are you?
- I'm Casey, sir.

51
00:07:32,876 --> 00:07:35,487
That's wrong, Casey.

52
00:07:37,046 --> 00:07:39,491
Our American contingent, sir.

53
00:07:41,220 --> 00:07:43,925
This is Flight Officer Murray,
Flight Officer Hamilton.

54
00:07:43,926 --> 00:07:45,958
- Good to meet you, sir.
- They're on surface weather.

55
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:48,230
What, both of you?
Who's on upper air?

56
00:07:48,231 --> 00:07:50,002
Uh, no one, sir.

57
00:07:50,003 --> 00:07:51,502
No one's on upper air?

58
00:07:51,503 --> 00:07:53,868
So that data just goes
unrecorded, does it?

59
00:07:55,069 --> 00:07:57,775
I'll need both of you
on upper air at all times.

60
00:07:57,776 --> 00:07:59,807
Uh, we were told to use
historical analog charts, sir.

61
00:07:59,808 --> 00:08:01,646
Not by me.
Those weren't my instructions.

62
00:08:01,647 --> 00:08:04,248
It's just, Colonel Krick
instructed us otherwise, sir.

63
00:08:04,249 --> 00:08:05,779
Did he? Do I have an office?

64
00:08:05,780 --> 00:08:07,948
Yes, sir.
It's just through here.

65
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:18,195
Ah.

66
00:08:18,196 --> 00:08:20,191
Good afternoon, sir.

67
00:08:21,299 --> 00:08:23,127
Uh, this is Group Captain Stagg.

68
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:24,767
He's just transferred
from Dunstable.

69
00:08:24,768 --> 00:08:27,501
We've been very much
looking forward to his...

70
00:08:27,502 --> 00:08:28,969
him joining us here.

71
00:08:30,637 --> 00:08:32,435
Lieutenant Kay Summersby.

72
00:08:32,436 --> 00:08:35,038
Motor Transport Corps.
Welcome to Southwick House.

73
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,712
Are we sharing an office,
or what?

74
00:08:37,713 --> 00:08:41,145
No. I was just using it
temporarily.

75
00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:43,786
Good, because I'll need it
exclusively.

76
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,629
Well, very good.

77
00:09:11,716 --> 00:09:13,711
Can you see to it that
General Eisenhower knows

78
00:09:13,712 --> 00:09:15,179
that I'm here?

79
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:19,154
And that I apologize
for my late arrival?

80
00:09:19,155 --> 00:09:20,691
Yes, sir.

81
00:09:22,961 --> 00:09:24,354
Sir.

82
00:09:28,694 --> 00:09:30,833
Right.

83
00:09:37,006 --> 00:09:38,407
OPERATOR
Hello. Signals Department.

84
00:09:38,408 --> 00:09:39,806
Switchboard speaking.

85
00:09:39,807 --> 00:09:42,944
Yes, um,
Richmond 1-9-3-7, please.

86
00:09:42,945 --> 00:09:45,615
I'm sorry, but all
outgoing calls are forbidden

87
00:09:45,616 --> 00:09:48,379
without prior authorization, sir.

88
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:51,423
Uh, no, no, I-I-I...
I need to speak with my wife.

89
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:53,952
I'm sorry, sir.

90
00:09:53,953 --> 00:09:55,587
Hello?

91
00:09:55,588 --> 00:09:57,519
Yes? Hello?

92
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:05,404
If you'd like to follow me,
please,

93
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:07,397
General Eisenhower
will see you now.

94
00:10:11,339 --> 00:10:13,674
I wouldn't keep him waiting any
longer than you already have.

95
00:10:30,824 --> 00:10:32,962
Group Captain Dr. James Stagg,

96
00:10:32,963 --> 00:10:35,898
here at the express request
of General Eisenhower.

97
00:10:43,842 --> 00:10:46,644
And all 265 vessels arrived
without issue, sir.

98
00:10:46,645 --> 00:10:48,972
And we've assigned, uh,
five patrol craft

99
00:10:48,973 --> 00:10:50,616
and three destroyers.

100
00:10:50,617 --> 00:10:52,447
DWIGHT "IKE" EISENHOWER:
Let's get the job done.

101
00:10:52,448 --> 00:10:53,944
Glad to hear it.

102
00:10:53,945 --> 00:10:55,511
Lieutenant Summersby?

103
00:10:55,512 --> 00:10:57,753
Sir, may I introduce
Group Captain James Stagg,

104
00:10:57,754 --> 00:10:59,791
who finally made it in
from London?

105
00:10:59,792 --> 00:11:01,753
Well, it's good to meet you,
Group Captain Stagg.

106
00:11:01,754 --> 00:11:03,188
Welcome aboard.

107
00:11:03,189 --> 00:11:06,930
Nice to finally put
a face to the name.

108
00:11:06,931 --> 00:11:09,533
Have you got all the equipment
you need downstairs?

109
00:11:09,534 --> 00:11:11,137
Equipment is not
the problem, sir.

110
00:11:11,138 --> 00:11:12,804
What's the problem?

111
00:11:12,805 --> 00:11:14,606
Um, well, it's time, sir.
I haven't really had any...

112
00:11:14,607 --> 00:11:17,441
any time to establish
any clear picture.

113
00:11:17,442 --> 00:11:19,102
Have a look, Group Captain.

114
00:11:19,103 --> 00:11:21,873
I got 7,000 naval vessels,

115
00:11:21,874 --> 00:11:23,879
130,000 ground troops,

116
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,046
200,000 naval personnel,
15 hospital ships,

117
00:11:27,047 --> 00:11:29,784
8,000 doctors,
three airborne divisions

118
00:11:29,785 --> 00:11:31,723
and a partridge in a pear tree.

119
00:11:33,154 --> 00:11:37,996
Largest seaborne invasion force
in history.

120
00:11:37,997 --> 00:11:39,654
Is it?

121
00:11:42,999 --> 00:11:45,968
And do we have a date yet
for the invasion, sir?

122
00:11:47,064 --> 00:11:49,033
We invade France Monday.

123
00:11:49,034 --> 00:11:51,672
- This Monday?
- Correct.

124
00:11:51,673 --> 00:11:54,878
Monday, June 5th, 0630.

125
00:11:54,879 --> 00:12:00,378
That is D-Day,
which is in 61 hours from now.

126
00:12:02,917 --> 00:12:06,251
Fate of the war hinges on this.

127
00:12:06,252 --> 00:12:08,991
All the pieces of the jigsaw
are in place.

128
00:12:08,992 --> 00:12:11,521
There's only one imponderable
that remains.

129
00:12:12,561 --> 00:12:14,227
I need a forecast.

130
00:12:16,199 --> 00:12:19,229
I'm... Yes, I'm concerned
that what you're asking me is

131
00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:21,373
scientifically impossible, sir.

132
00:12:21,374 --> 00:12:23,366
Uh, long-term forecasting is

133
00:12:23,367 --> 00:12:25,204
really only ever
educated guesswork.

134
00:12:25,205 --> 00:12:27,672
Monday is not long-term,
for Christ's sake.

135
00:12:27,673 --> 00:12:30,713
Does Monday sound like long-term
to you, Lieutenant Summersby?

136
00:12:30,714 --> 00:12:32,078
No, it certainly does not, sir.

137
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:34,084
Well, this is
Northern Europe, sir.

138
00:12:34,085 --> 00:12:37,554
Anything over 24 hours is-is...
is considered long-term,

139
00:12:37,555 --> 00:12:39,285
meteorologically speaking.

140
00:12:42,425 --> 00:12:43,894
But I'll...

141
00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:46,254
I'll do my best.

142
00:12:46,255 --> 00:12:47,629
I don't want your best.

143
00:12:47,630 --> 00:12:49,432
I already expect that.

144
00:12:49,433 --> 00:12:50,730
I need certainty.

145
00:12:50,731 --> 00:12:52,265
Churchill tells me

146
00:12:52,266 --> 00:12:53,938
you're the best meteorologist
in the country

147
00:12:53,939 --> 00:12:56,406
and that I should rely on you
over Colonel Krick.

148
00:12:56,407 --> 00:12:57,903
You know him?

149
00:12:57,904 --> 00:12:59,270
Only by reputation.

150
00:12:59,271 --> 00:13:01,404
Well, Krick's been with me
since '42.

151
00:13:01,405 --> 00:13:04,075
He's never steered me wrong,
so...

152
00:13:04,076 --> 00:13:06,081
let's see how you measure up.

153
00:13:07,112 --> 00:13:08,786
I need a forecast for Monday.

154
00:13:08,787 --> 00:13:11,046
I need it first thing
tomorrow morning.

155
00:13:11,047 --> 00:13:12,417
Y-Yes, sir.

156
00:13:13,424 --> 00:13:14,826
Don't let me down.

157
00:13:18,429 --> 00:13:19,958
Group Captain.

158
00:13:19,959 --> 00:13:21,800
Let's go.

159
00:13:24,028 --> 00:13:26,068

- Dance with me.

175
00:14:02,638 --> 00:14:04,168

176
00:14:06,543 --> 00:14:08,176
There you go.

177
00:14:09,615 --> 00:14:12,048
There you go.

178
00:14:13,882 --> 00:14:16,281
Oh, stick to piano, Irv.

179
00:14:19,321 --> 00:14:23,290
I-I don't believe you've met,
uh, Group Captain Stagg.

180
00:14:24,792 --> 00:14:26,864
Only by telephone.

181
00:14:26,865 --> 00:14:29,667
Dr. Stagg, so nice
to finally meet you.

182
00:14:29,668 --> 00:14:31,163
You're younger than I imagined.

183
00:14:31,164 --> 00:14:33,337
You're shorter than I imagined.

184
00:14:36,802 --> 00:14:38,239
Analogs.

185
00:14:40,204 --> 00:14:42,146
I realize that, yes.

186
00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:46,682
Every single weather chart
for Northern Europe since 1900.

187
00:14:46,683 --> 00:14:48,820
Mm. Um, in my experience,

188
00:14:48,821 --> 00:14:52,814
the weather never replicates
its own history.

189
00:14:52,815 --> 00:14:55,691
Ah, well, try telling that
to a movie producer.

190
00:14:55,692 --> 00:14:57,219
Remember Selznick, Kay?

191
00:14:57,220 --> 00:14:58,361
Oh.

192
00:14:58,362 --> 00:14:59,894
July '39.

193
00:14:59,895 --> 00:15:01,998
David Selznick calls me up.

194
00:15:01,999 --> 00:15:03,934
He's making a movie.
He wants a forecast

195
00:15:03,935 --> 00:15:06,562
for a three-day period
in Beverly Hills.

196
00:15:06,563 --> 00:15:08,605
The scene is...

197
00:15:08,606 --> 00:15:10,072
the burning of Atlanta.

198
00:15:10,073 --> 00:15:12,301
"I don't want to see
a drop of rain, Irv.

199
00:15:12,302 --> 00:15:14,308
Not a drop. Not a drop."

200
00:15:14,309 --> 00:15:16,745
Well, MGM calls me up.
They give me the dates.

201
00:15:16,746 --> 00:15:18,649
I give 'em the forecast.

202
00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:20,375
Beautiful weather.

203
00:15:20,376 --> 00:15:22,377
I mean, just gorgeous.

204
00:15:22,378 --> 00:15:23,855
Not a cloud in the sky.

205
00:15:23,856 --> 00:15:25,551
Movie's a hit.
I get to meet Clark Gable.

206
00:15:25,552 --> 00:15:28,725
Little picture-- I-I don't know
if you heard of it.

207
00:15:28,726 --> 00:15:30,793
Called <i>Gone with the Wind.</i>

208
00:15:30,794 --> 00:15:32,561
- You seen it, Stagg?
- No.

209
00:15:32,562 --> 00:15:35,264
No? That...

210
00:15:35,265 --> 00:15:37,469
That's crazy. Who hasn't seen
<i>Gone with the Wind?</i>

211
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:39,069
Me. I haven't seen it.

212
00:15:39,070 --> 00:15:40,704
Well, you must.
I mean, it's a great picture.

213
00:15:40,705 --> 00:15:42,698
It's great. I saw it with Ike.

214
00:15:42,699 --> 00:15:45,073
Kay drove us...
to the London premiere.

215
00:15:45,074 --> 00:15:46,743
- This is true.
- Great night.

216
00:15:46,744 --> 00:15:48,611
So, did you meet Vivien Leigh?

217
00:15:48,612 --> 00:15:50,246
Oh, we sure did.

218
00:15:50,247 --> 00:15:51,882
- What was she like?
- What was she like?

219
00:15:51,883 --> 00:15:53,610
Uh, she was cute.

220
00:15:53,611 --> 00:15:55,314
The Allied High Command
has requested

221
00:15:55,315 --> 00:15:57,483
our forecast
by 1:00 p.m. tomorrow.

222
00:15:58,451 --> 00:16:01,784
Time and date of the invasion
to France

223
00:16:01,785 --> 00:16:05,458
has been confirmed for Monday.
Monday. Monday.

224
00:16:09,363 --> 00:16:12,065
June 5th, 6:30 a.m.,
so can we start, please?

225
00:16:12,066 --> 00:16:13,499
Get rid of the piano. Thank you.

226
00:16:17,105 --> 00:16:18,942
Is it bothering you, Dr. Stagg?

227
00:16:18,943 --> 00:16:21,111
It's inappropriate.

228
00:16:24,983 --> 00:16:27,843
Call this extension
if you need to speak

229
00:16:27,844 --> 00:16:30,280
to General Eisenhower anytime,
day or night.

230
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:32,648
Is this his direct line?

231
00:16:32,649 --> 00:16:34,684
Oh, no.
It's a direct line to me.

232
00:16:34,685 --> 00:16:37,490
I handle all communication
with the general.

233
00:16:46,905 --> 00:16:48,499
Can I have your attention, please?

234
00:16:50,944 --> 00:16:53,473
Bryant, can you put
the phone down, please?

235
00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:56,109
Is that his name? Bryant?

236
00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:58,016
Okay, go ahead.

237
00:17:09,126 --> 00:17:11,493
I needn't, I hope,
have to stress to you

238
00:17:11,494 --> 00:17:14,328
how crucial this forecast is,
but I do want to stress

239
00:17:14,329 --> 00:17:17,568
one thing to you all
and one thing only:

240
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,065
Get me the data.

241
00:17:19,066 --> 00:17:20,699
That's what counts.

242
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:22,972
Get me the latest readings
from every single base

243
00:17:22,973 --> 00:17:25,567
within 2,000 miles of Normandy.

244
00:17:25,568 --> 00:17:27,844
That's Paris, Galway, Reykjavík,

245
00:17:27,845 --> 00:17:30,576
Boston, Washington, Lisbon...

246
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:34,046
...New York, Newfoundland.

247
00:17:34,047 --> 00:17:35,514
You get the idea.

248
00:17:35,515 --> 00:17:37,419
Get me the data
from every Met station,

249
00:17:37,420 --> 00:17:39,583
every weather balloon,
every reconnaissance flight.

250
00:17:39,584 --> 00:17:41,720
That's upper air.
That's surface air.

251
00:17:41,721 --> 00:17:43,552
That's radar soundings.
That's sea temperature.

252
00:17:43,553 --> 00:17:44,963
That's salinity. Everything.

253
00:17:44,964 --> 00:17:47,197
If we've measured it,
then I want it.

254
00:17:51,504 --> 00:17:54,001
That room there...

255
00:17:54,002 --> 00:17:55,606
that's where I'll be.

256
00:17:55,607 --> 00:17:57,669
Get me the data.

257
00:17:59,007 --> 00:18:00,936
That's what counts.

258
00:18:19,093 --> 00:18:21,465
700 millibars.

259
00:18:21,466 --> 00:18:24,066
210. 28.

260
00:18:24,067 --> 00:18:25,795
<i>650 millibars.</i>

261
00:18:25,796 --> 00:18:27,963
<i>-
- Plus 19.</i>

262
00:18:29,174 --> 00:18:30,932
Observations
coming in from Spain.

263
00:18:30,933 --> 00:18:32,772
Sea surface temp: 18 degrees.

264
00:18:32,773 --> 00:18:35,240
<i>Ten-tenths
stratocumulus and altocumulus</i>

265
00:18:35,241 --> 00:18:36,540
<i>now rising in zero-two.</i>

266
00:18:36,541 --> 00:18:39,379
<i>1-0-1-5 millibars.</i>

267
00:18:41,614 --> 00:18:43,084
<i>Northwest wind, force five.</i>

268
00:18:43,085 --> 00:18:44,583
<i>6-0-0 millibars.</i>

269
00:18:44,584 --> 00:18:47,423
<i>Wind southwest, force four.</i>

270
00:18:47,424 --> 00:18:49,287
South Iceland
seven-tenths, 30,000 feet.

271
00:18:49,288 --> 00:18:50,387
Southeast, force six.

272
00:18:53,426 --> 00:18:55,428
<i>1-0-1-8 millibars.</i>

273
00:18:55,429 --> 00:18:57,026
Say that again, please.
Repeat that.

274
00:18:57,027 --> 00:18:58,563
Are you getting the
L front temp? -No, I have...

275
00:19:00,468 --> 00:19:02,674
<i>Seven-tenths, stratocumulus,</i>

276
00:19:02,675 --> 00:19:05,171
<i>3,000 feet, force six.</i>

277
00:19:05,172 --> 00:19:06,672
Southwesterly, force six.

278
00:19:06,673 --> 00:19:08,069
We're still waiting on
the Greenland data, sir.

279
00:19:10,313 --> 00:19:11,950
Just-just leave that.
Just leave that be.

280
00:19:11,951 --> 00:19:13,110
What speed is L3 moving at?

281
00:19:13,111 --> 00:19:14,780
25 knots.

282
00:19:14,781 --> 00:19:17,419
Finished with that?

283
00:19:17,420 --> 00:19:21,750
Ten StratoCu 3,000 feet,
southeast, force four.

284
00:19:21,751 --> 00:19:23,995
<i>1-0-1-3 millibars.</i>

285
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,487
Radar soundings from 0930.

286
00:19:27,023 --> 00:19:28,693
There's been no movement
from the main course.

287
00:19:28,694 --> 00:19:31,394
Sir, the weather conditions
in Normandy.

288
00:19:32,830 --> 00:19:34,364
These are from yesterday's
12 o'clock, sir.

289
00:19:34,365 --> 00:19:35,799
Humidity reports.

290
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,800
And we have those folders
you requested...

291
00:19:39,943 --> 00:19:41,509
There's nothing there.

292
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:48,483
Carter. It's done.

293
00:19:50,379 --> 00:19:51,920
Good man.

294
00:20:02,402 --> 00:20:03,564
Sir.

295
00:20:06,465 --> 00:20:08,338
The latest completed maps.

296
00:20:31,093 --> 00:20:32,555
Oh, come on.

297
00:20:32,556 --> 00:20:34,055
Look at the analogs.

298
00:20:34,056 --> 00:20:35,892
It's as plain as day:
calm, sunny weather.

299
00:20:35,893 --> 00:20:37,893
Those analogs prove
absolutely nothing.

300
00:20:37,894 --> 00:20:39,531
How can you say that?
It's right here.

301
00:20:39,532 --> 00:20:40,704
Are you blind?

302
00:20:40,705 --> 00:20:41,906
Look at it.

303
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,171
I don't need to look at it.

304
00:20:43,172 --> 00:20:44,570
The chart is 19 years old.

305
00:20:44,571 --> 00:20:47,670
Fine, that's-that's
40 years old,

306
00:20:47,671 --> 00:20:52,040
27 years, uh, 15 years old.

307
00:20:52,041 --> 00:20:55,577
That's-that's the point:
patterns over time.

308
00:20:55,578 --> 00:20:57,485
Okay. Thank you.

309
00:20:57,486 --> 00:20:59,850
I think what we need to do
is establish

310
00:20:59,851 --> 00:21:02,621
what we already know today,
here and now.

311
00:21:02,622 --> 00:21:07,198
Um, we have
two aggressive storms

312
00:21:07,199 --> 00:21:09,527
stretching themselves
across the Atlantic

313
00:21:09,528 --> 00:21:11,536
from Newfoundland to Normandy.

314
00:21:11,537 --> 00:21:13,228
Agreed.

315
00:21:13,229 --> 00:21:15,972
There is an area of
high pressure above the Azores.

316
00:21:15,973 --> 00:21:17,372
That's what interests me.

317
00:21:17,373 --> 00:21:19,404
But it's moving lethargically
and...

318
00:21:19,405 --> 00:21:20,739
Your word, not mine.

319
00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:22,805
I'm sorry, would you like
the floor again?

320
00:21:22,806 --> 00:21:25,239
Me? No, it's your floor.
Go ahead.

321
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,416
We can't just base the forecast
on surface air

322
00:21:31,417 --> 00:21:33,852
and, uh, analog charts.

323
00:21:33,853 --> 00:21:36,156
We must also consider
the jet stream, which...

324
00:21:36,157 --> 00:21:37,290
The jet stream?

325
00:21:37,291 --> 00:21:38,757
Yes, the jet stream

326
00:21:38,758 --> 00:21:40,395
currently hurtling its way
towards Europe

327
00:21:40,396 --> 00:21:41,889
and dragging
both the storms with it,

328
00:21:41,890 --> 00:21:43,229
likely spawning a third storm.

329
00:21:43,230 --> 00:21:44,294
That jet stream.

330
00:21:44,295 --> 00:21:45,930
Okay.

331
00:21:48,736 --> 00:21:51,508
Which will inevitably mean
stormier conditions

332
00:21:51,509 --> 00:21:54,574
over the next few days--
tomorrow, Sunday, into Monday.

333
00:21:54,575 --> 00:21:57,940
Disastrous conditions
for an invasion.

334
00:21:57,941 --> 00:21:59,678
Okay, thank you so much,
Dr. Stagg.

335
00:21:59,679 --> 00:22:03,715
Now, this is a chart
for June 2, 1925.

336
00:22:03,716 --> 00:22:05,749
Nearly identical conditions
to today.

337
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:07,257
Same depressions
in the Atlantic,

338
00:22:07,258 --> 00:22:09,256
same high pressures
over the Azores.

339
00:22:09,257 --> 00:22:11,294
Move ahead... three days

340
00:22:11,295 --> 00:22:15,658
to June 5, 1925,
D-Day if you will.

341
00:22:15,659 --> 00:22:19,537
Calm. Sunny weather.

342
00:22:19,538 --> 00:22:22,473
1925 is entirely irrelevant
to what we're talking about.

343
00:22:22,474 --> 00:22:27,472
I could've just as easily picked
June 2, 1904, or 1929.

344
00:22:27,473 --> 00:22:29,305
You know as well as I do

345
00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:32,879
that atmospheric conditions
can never be identical ever.

346
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,515
What I do know is who nailed
the forecast at Alamein

347
00:22:36,516 --> 00:22:38,114
for the Western Desert campaign,

348
00:22:38,115 --> 00:22:40,722
for the Tunisian campaign,
for Operation Torch.

349
00:22:40,723 --> 00:22:44,052
I know who got it right
every goddamn time in Cairo.

350
00:22:44,053 --> 00:22:47,024
In Tripoli, Algiers,
Oran, Casablanca.

351
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:50,492
Do you know?

352
00:22:50,493 --> 00:22:51,699
You?

353
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:55,305
Yeah. Me.

354
00:22:55,306 --> 00:22:58,239
This isn't Casablanca,
Colonel Krick.

355
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,738
This is Northern Europe.

356
00:22:59,739 --> 00:23:02,677
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.

357
00:23:02,678 --> 00:23:05,576
When the atmospheric conditions
are a match,

358
00:23:05,577 --> 00:23:08,386
the weather follows suit.

359
00:23:10,922 --> 00:23:13,189
Mark my words.

360
00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:15,085
D-Day will be calm and sunny.

361
00:23:16,192 --> 00:23:18,429
Nighty night, gentlemen.

362
00:23:19,424 --> 00:23:20,563
Nobody move.

363
00:23:25,002 --> 00:23:26,397
Back to work.

364
00:23:32,902 --> 00:23:34,676
What do you make of Stagg?

365
00:23:35,945 --> 00:23:37,272
Hmm.

366
00:23:38,442 --> 00:23:40,374
Scottish.

367
00:23:41,416 --> 00:23:43,083
Churchill says he's a genius.

368
00:23:43,084 --> 00:23:45,285
Hmm.

369
00:23:45,286 --> 00:23:47,355
Yeah, well...

370
00:23:47,356 --> 00:23:49,691
men are too fond of that word.

371
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,874
OFFICER
<i>Three-tenths Cu and StratoCu</i>

372
00:24:06,875 --> 00:24:09,739
<i>at 2,000 feet,
cloud extending to West Wales.</i>

373
00:24:20,158 --> 00:24:22,125
Inflatable Shermans,

374
00:24:22,126 --> 00:24:25,029
Spitfires, Long Toms

375
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:26,989
and troop carriers.

376
00:24:26,990 --> 00:24:30,059
Just rubber and air, gentlemen.

377
00:24:30,060 --> 00:24:32,162
But to a Nazi
reconnaissance plane,

378
00:24:32,163 --> 00:24:35,098
utterly indistinguishable
from the real thing.

379
00:24:35,099 --> 00:24:38,167
In North Africa,
I proved this time and again

380
00:24:38,168 --> 00:24:42,241
with victory after victory
after victory.

381
00:24:42,242 --> 00:24:45,473
Of course, it's not just about
crushing the enemy, gentlemen.

382
00:24:45,474 --> 00:24:48,950
It's about deceiving him, too,
and deceive him we will.

383
00:24:48,951 --> 00:24:53,256
We've conjured up phantom armies
across all of East Anglia,

384
00:24:53,257 --> 00:24:55,789
thousands of fake supply depots,

385
00:24:55,790 --> 00:24:59,195
false radio transmissions,
empty tents

386
00:24:59,196 --> 00:25:00,762
and decoy campfires.

387
00:25:03,131 --> 00:25:05,501
On D-Day,

388
00:25:05,502 --> 00:25:08,333
dummy paratroopers
weighted with sand

389
00:25:08,334 --> 00:25:13,275
will be dropped 15 to 20 miles
inland from the Normandy coast.

390
00:25:13,276 --> 00:25:15,711
They explode on impact.

391
00:25:17,973 --> 00:25:20,818
Only the chute remains.

392
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,550
With any luck, the enemy will
think our boys are running wild

393
00:25:23,551 --> 00:25:25,180
through the French interior,

394
00:25:25,181 --> 00:25:27,356
drawing great chunks
of their forces

395
00:25:27,357 --> 00:25:30,055
right away from the beaches.

396
00:25:30,056 --> 00:25:33,523
It's a little small,
don't you think, Monty?

397
00:25:33,524 --> 00:25:35,561
Small?

398
00:25:35,562 --> 00:25:37,425
It's a joke, Monty.

399
00:25:40,333 --> 00:25:41,535
Yes.

400
00:25:41,536 --> 00:25:45,366
What's small is our window.

401
00:25:45,367 --> 00:25:48,844
The 12th SS Panzer
is already near Caen.

402
00:25:48,845 --> 00:25:53,012
The 352nd Infantry Division
are heavily entrenched.

403
00:25:54,010 --> 00:25:57,851
If we delay beyond Monday,

404
00:25:57,852 --> 00:26:00,554
they will see right through
all of this.

405
00:26:00,555 --> 00:26:02,484
Everything that we have done,

406
00:26:02,485 --> 00:26:06,520
all our meticulous efforts,
will be for naught.

407
00:26:11,196 --> 00:26:14,430
He's doubled his defenses
in as many weeks.

408
00:26:14,431 --> 00:26:18,737
Every passing hour
makes our task more perilous.

409
00:26:18,738 --> 00:26:20,611
Ideally, we bring D-Day forward.

410
00:26:23,774 --> 00:26:25,248
Can't be done.

411
00:26:25,249 --> 00:26:27,178
We are two days out.

412
00:26:29,183 --> 00:26:34,290
The more prepared the enemy,
the more ruthless I must become.

413
00:26:34,291 --> 00:26:35,690
Though it's not my wish,

414
00:26:35,691 --> 00:26:37,326
if it means getting
more men ashore,

415
00:26:37,327 --> 00:26:38,826
I may have to sacrifice

416
00:26:38,827 --> 00:26:41,158
every last member
of my advance brigade.

417
00:26:41,159 --> 00:26:42,797
Well, if I didn't
know you better, Monty,

418
00:26:42,798 --> 00:26:44,803
I would've thought
you enjoyed saying that.

419
00:26:44,804 --> 00:26:46,295
Yes.

420
00:26:46,296 --> 00:26:47,803
But then again,
I've actually been to war.

421
00:26:50,101 --> 00:26:53,141
Be that as it may,
you're the boss.

422
00:26:53,142 --> 00:26:55,407
I am.

423
00:26:55,408 --> 00:26:59,314
And the final decision on the
timing of D-Day will be mine...

424
00:26:59,315 --> 00:27:01,278
and mine alone.

425
00:27:05,718 --> 00:27:07,082
Pray for good weather.

426
00:27:07,083 --> 00:27:09,086
The weather is irrelevant.

427
00:27:09,087 --> 00:27:10,826
We must go,
whatever the weather.

428
00:27:29,041 --> 00:27:31,073
George said that
she came over to him.

429
00:27:31,074 --> 00:27:33,783
She came over to him, right?

430
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:49,501
Ah.

431
00:27:49,502 --> 00:27:51,598
Thought I'd pop in
and identify myself.

432
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:53,198
Bernard Montgomery.

433
00:27:54,206 --> 00:27:55,970
Oh, yes.

434
00:27:57,132 --> 00:27:59,710
Hello. Uh, James Stagg.

435
00:28:00,774 --> 00:28:02,342
All looking good for Monday?

436
00:28:02,343 --> 00:28:04,180
Um, no.

437
00:28:04,181 --> 00:28:05,481
No, no, no.

438
00:28:05,482 --> 00:28:07,113
Can't say that we are, sir.

439
00:28:08,276 --> 00:28:10,247
Well, can't be that bad, surely.

440
00:28:10,248 --> 00:28:13,048
Well, you know
this country, sir.

441
00:28:13,049 --> 00:28:15,058
Looks can be deceiving.

442
00:28:15,059 --> 00:28:16,987
Hmm.

443
00:28:16,988 --> 00:28:20,059
Do not sow doubt, Group Captain.

444
00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:23,468
Battles are lost
when doubt enters the mind.

445
00:28:23,469 --> 00:28:24,960
We'll cross the Channel
on Monday.

446
00:28:24,961 --> 00:28:26,462
That is definite.

447
00:28:28,872 --> 00:28:32,841
If D-Day is canceled,
we will lose this war.

448
00:28:32,842 --> 00:28:34,645
Do you want to be
personally responsible

449
00:28:34,646 --> 00:28:36,846
for losing this war,
Group Captain Stagg?

450
00:28:37,906 --> 00:28:39,376
No, sir.

451
00:28:55,167 --> 00:28:56,726
For Christ's sake.

452
00:28:56,727 --> 00:28:58,059
Okay.

453
00:28:58,060 --> 00:28:59,432
We ready to go?

454
00:28:59,433 --> 00:29:00,699
Go where?

455
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:01,904
To the meeting.

456
00:29:03,272 --> 00:29:07,334
And when we get to the meeting,
what will we be saying exactly?

457
00:29:07,335 --> 00:29:10,574
Monday will be calm and sunny.

458
00:29:10,575 --> 00:29:13,580
The barometer at Foynes
has been falling all morning.

459
00:29:13,581 --> 00:29:14,913
Yeah, I saw it.

460
00:29:14,914 --> 00:29:16,413
Minimal drop, insignificant.

461
00:29:17,421 --> 00:29:19,581
I think it's significant.

462
00:29:23,051 --> 00:29:25,157
Listen, pal.

463
00:29:25,158 --> 00:29:27,696
I've been working with Ike
for three years.

464
00:29:27,697 --> 00:29:30,225
- I know the guy.
- Mm-hmm. And?

465
00:29:30,226 --> 00:29:32,694
He won't want uncertainty.

466
00:29:32,695 --> 00:29:35,832
Right. Well, then I better
attend the meeting alone.

467
00:29:37,143 --> 00:29:38,572
Are you kidding?

468
00:29:38,573 --> 00:29:40,041
You can't do that.

469
00:29:41,611 --> 00:29:43,105
That's not how that works.

470
00:29:43,106 --> 00:29:44,772
Uh, you can't do that.

471
00:29:44,773 --> 00:29:49,579
The responsibility for
the D-Day forecast is mine,

472
00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:51,948
and it's not one that
I'm going to take lightly.

473
00:29:51,949 --> 00:29:53,554
It's not yours.

474
00:29:53,555 --> 00:29:54,819
Okay? It's ours.

475
00:29:54,820 --> 00:29:56,487
Ours, jointly.

476
00:29:56,488 --> 00:29:59,659
No, no. There's one
chief meteorological officer,

477
00:29:59,660 --> 00:30:01,161
and it's not you.

478
00:30:02,832 --> 00:30:04,868
You won't be attending
the meeting.

479
00:30:08,835 --> 00:30:10,401
Is there anything else?

480
00:30:15,841 --> 00:30:17,610
Asshole.

481
00:30:17,611 --> 00:30:19,278
Irv.

482
00:30:29,188 --> 00:30:31,488
- How much time do I have?
- It's time.

483
00:30:32,521 --> 00:30:34,024
What happened
with Colonel Krick?

484
00:30:34,025 --> 00:30:35,756
Never mind Colonel Krick.

485
00:30:43,134 --> 00:30:45,139
Well, they won't like this.

486
00:30:46,268 --> 00:30:48,142
Well, I don't like this.

487
00:30:52,014 --> 00:30:54,984
They're waiting for you,
Group Captain Stagg.

488
00:31:30,579 --> 00:31:33,022
- Yes?
- Sir, he's here.

489
00:31:34,352 --> 00:31:36,355
Excuse me, gentlemen.

490
00:31:39,728 --> 00:31:41,591
Group Captain Stagg.

491
00:31:43,262 --> 00:31:45,726
This is
General Bernard Montgomery,

492
00:31:45,727 --> 00:31:47,866
commander in chief,
Allied land forces.

493
00:31:47,867 --> 00:31:49,837
And here we have

494
00:31:49,838 --> 00:31:51,536
Air Chief Marshal Leigh-Mallory,

495
00:31:51,537 --> 00:31:55,105
commander in chief,
Allied Expeditionary Air Force.

496
00:31:55,106 --> 00:31:56,847
This is Admiral Ramsay,

497
00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:59,013
commander in chief,
Allied naval forces,

498
00:31:59,014 --> 00:32:01,851
and Lieutenant General
Omar Bradley,

499
00:32:01,852 --> 00:32:04,581
commander of
the U.S. First Army.

500
00:32:07,855 --> 00:32:09,385
Where's Colonel Krick?

501
00:32:09,386 --> 00:32:10,623
He's not attending, sir.

502
00:32:10,624 --> 00:32:12,093
Why not?

503
00:32:12,094 --> 00:32:13,729
Well, I believe it's my duty
to brief you all

504
00:32:13,730 --> 00:32:15,130
on the forecast for Monday.

505
00:32:16,363 --> 00:32:18,767
- He should be here.
- Shall I have him fetched?

506
00:32:18,768 --> 00:32:20,596
My forecast will be the same

507
00:32:20,597 --> 00:32:22,472
whether Colonel Krick
attends or not.

508
00:32:22,473 --> 00:32:24,070
All right.

509
00:32:24,071 --> 00:32:26,642
Going forward, I want him here.

510
00:32:26,643 --> 00:32:28,040
Is that understood?

511
00:32:28,041 --> 00:32:30,139
- Certainly, sir.
- Good.

512
00:32:30,140 --> 00:32:31,608
What have you got?

513
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,404
Regrettably, we are faced
with a succession

514
00:32:59,405 --> 00:33:03,311
of two aggressive storms
in the Atlantic

515
00:33:03,312 --> 00:33:07,016
of unprecedented intensity
for this time of year.

516
00:33:07,017 --> 00:33:09,679
My forecast, therefore...

517
00:33:11,821 --> 00:33:13,518
Uh, excuse me.

518
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:18,962
My forecast, therefore,

519
00:33:18,963 --> 00:33:21,795
for Monday, June 5th,
the proposed D-Day,

520
00:33:21,796 --> 00:33:23,524
is as follows.

521
00:33:23,525 --> 00:33:27,003
Wind, west-northwest, strong,

522
00:33:27,004 --> 00:33:29,805
reaching force six,
possibly force seven.

523
00:33:29,806 --> 00:33:31,199
Force seven? Are you sure?

524
00:33:32,508 --> 00:33:34,137
No.

525
00:33:34,138 --> 00:33:35,804
It's an estimate.

526
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,045
Cloud low.

527
00:33:41,046 --> 00:33:42,844
Visibility poor.

528
00:33:43,818 --> 00:33:46,381
Rain very likely.

529
00:33:46,382 --> 00:33:49,123
Waves eight to 12 feet,

530
00:33:49,124 --> 00:33:51,886
possibly with an increase
to 15 feet.

531
00:33:53,125 --> 00:33:56,264
Confidence... poor.

532
00:33:58,701 --> 00:34:00,235
Monday, June 5th

533
00:34:00,236 --> 00:34:02,798
through at least
Tuesday, June 6th, falling...

534
00:34:05,004 --> 00:34:06,700
...to very poor.

535
00:34:08,539 --> 00:34:10,343
Stagg, I-I'm no weatherman,

536
00:34:10,344 --> 00:34:12,984
but have you looked
out a window lately?

537
00:34:12,985 --> 00:34:14,816
Well, the weather
in this part of Europe, sir,

538
00:34:14,817 --> 00:34:16,819
can change very rapidly.

539
00:34:16,820 --> 00:34:20,385
This poor visibility-- how poor?

540
00:34:20,386 --> 00:34:22,851
Less than a mile,
or thereabouts.

541
00:34:24,324 --> 00:34:28,422
Our paratroopers
require a full moon

542
00:34:28,423 --> 00:34:30,333
to land on target.

543
00:34:30,334 --> 00:34:33,497
Spring tides are essential
for landing our watercraft.

544
00:34:33,498 --> 00:34:35,865
Do you realize,
Group Captain Stagg,

545
00:34:35,866 --> 00:34:39,209
that Monday, June 5th is
the only date this calendar year

546
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:41,602
upon which these conditions
perfectly coincide?

547
00:34:41,603 --> 00:34:43,179
I do realize. Of course, sir.

548
00:34:44,949 --> 00:34:47,677
So, when exactly
do you suggest we go?

549
00:34:47,678 --> 00:34:49,543
Well, as it relates
to the weather,

550
00:34:49,544 --> 00:34:51,216
it's impossible to say.

551
00:34:51,217 --> 00:34:53,550
As to the moon and the tides,

552
00:34:53,551 --> 00:34:56,592
the next opportunity
would be June 18.

553
00:34:58,125 --> 00:35:00,494
Two more weeks? Are you mad?

554
00:35:00,495 --> 00:35:03,293
We can't keep our preparations
secret for that long.

555
00:35:03,294 --> 00:35:04,426
It's just not possible.

556
00:35:04,427 --> 00:35:05,793
Of course it isn't.

557
00:35:05,794 --> 00:35:08,138
The enemy will be ready
and waiting.

558
00:35:08,139 --> 00:35:11,305
They'll slaughter
every single last one of us.

559
00:35:11,306 --> 00:35:14,870
That's an extremely
pessimistic forecast.

560
00:35:15,912 --> 00:35:17,447
Are you absolutely certain?

561
00:35:17,448 --> 00:35:19,143
No.

562
00:35:19,144 --> 00:35:20,711
I'm not certain.

563
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:24,615
I'm confident
that the storms will come.

564
00:35:24,616 --> 00:35:27,118
I can't be absolutely certain
as to when.

565
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:29,155
Not good enough.

566
00:35:29,156 --> 00:35:30,621
If the storms come tonight,

567
00:35:30,622 --> 00:35:32,922
then they may burn
themselves off by Monday.

568
00:35:32,923 --> 00:35:36,260
If they come tomorrow,
then the weather will be...

569
00:35:36,261 --> 00:35:37,668
exactly as I described.

570
00:35:37,669 --> 00:35:39,569
We must go regardless.

571
00:35:42,301 --> 00:35:44,305
This moment demands judgment

572
00:35:44,306 --> 00:35:47,110
shaped by
actual battlefield experience.

573
00:35:47,111 --> 00:35:49,740
We can't risk another
Exercise Tiger.

574
00:35:51,776 --> 00:35:56,416
My men are ready and primed
for the big match.

575
00:35:56,417 --> 00:35:59,349
Get them onto the beaches
somehow, anyhow.

576
00:35:59,350 --> 00:36:01,422
Leave the rest to me.

577
00:36:11,594 --> 00:36:13,000
Reload me, please.

578
00:36:13,001 --> 00:36:15,469
Let's go. It's time.

579
00:36:19,004 --> 00:36:20,177
Monty.

580
00:36:24,574 --> 00:36:26,347
You can think what you like,

581
00:36:26,348 --> 00:36:29,782
and you can say what you like
to my face,

582
00:36:29,783 --> 00:36:33,349
but don't you ever undermine me
in front of the men again.

583
00:36:33,350 --> 00:36:35,290
Relax, old chap.

584
00:36:35,291 --> 00:36:36,991
It's not as if
I'm telling them anything

585
00:36:36,992 --> 00:36:38,888
they don't already know.

586
00:36:43,330 --> 00:36:45,565
<i>Tiger was a training op.</i>

587
00:36:48,433 --> 00:36:50,537
<i>Dress rehearsal for D-Day.</i>

588
00:36:52,903 --> 00:36:57,511
<i>Half those boys were
fresh out of the draft.</i>

589
00:36:59,545 --> 00:37:02,483
So I called in
live artillery to...

590
00:37:04,184 --> 00:37:05,816
...toughen them up.

591
00:37:08,051 --> 00:37:12,192
<i>Naval command was
supposed to bomb the beach</i>

592
00:37:12,193 --> 00:37:14,693
<i>an hour before we landed.</i>

593
00:37:16,566 --> 00:37:21,733
<i>There were delays, so we had to
push the start time back.</i>

594
00:37:24,904 --> 00:37:30,280
<i>Our radios had a different
frequency from the Brits.</i>

595
00:37:32,477 --> 00:37:34,845
<i>Our boys never got the message.</i>

596
00:37:37,350 --> 00:37:39,388
<i>They walked right into it.</i>

597
00:37:41,924 --> 00:37:43,656
<i>One mistake.</i>

598
00:37:44,928 --> 00:37:46,956
Just that one mistake.

599
00:37:53,263 --> 00:37:54,568
Ike.

600
00:37:55,597 --> 00:37:57,769
Ike, look at me.

601
00:38:02,378 --> 00:38:06,113
You have to stop doing this
to yourself.

602
00:38:06,114 --> 00:38:07,878
What's done is done.

603
00:38:09,282 --> 00:38:11,046
When I close my eyes...

604
00:38:13,716 --> 00:38:15,919
...all I can see is failure.

605
00:38:23,332 --> 00:38:24,935
Well, look what the cat
dragged in.

606
00:38:24,936 --> 00:38:26,598
Evening, sir.

607
00:38:26,599 --> 00:38:28,598
Evening, Irv.
You doing all right?

608
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:30,303
Yeah. Can we talk?

609
00:38:30,304 --> 00:38:32,241
What's on your mind?

610
00:38:32,242 --> 00:38:34,342
Well, sir, I'm not sure

611
00:38:34,343 --> 00:38:36,344
- if you're aware of...
- Ike!

612
00:38:36,345 --> 00:38:38,314
Associated Press
have just announced

613
00:38:38,315 --> 00:38:40,581
that we're landing
in France tomorrow.

614
00:38:42,486 --> 00:38:45,454
CBS, Radio Moscow,
they've already picked it up.

615
00:38:46,784 --> 00:38:48,585
- Get General McClure on this.
- Yep.

616
00:38:48,586 --> 00:38:50,552
I want this cleaned up now.

617
00:38:50,553 --> 00:38:51,959
And I want names.

618
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,495
Understood.

619
00:38:57,099 --> 00:38:58,625
You were saying?

620
00:39:03,467 --> 00:39:05,034
Stagg!

621
00:39:07,770 --> 00:39:10,039
Stagg!

622
00:39:14,148 --> 00:39:15,715
Everyone out!

623
00:39:22,858 --> 00:39:24,361
Move!

624
00:39:27,625 --> 00:39:29,993
Close the door behind you.

625
00:39:32,168 --> 00:39:35,702
That, uh, forecast you gave...

626
00:39:37,505 --> 00:39:41,142
...was that the view
of the British

627
00:39:41,143 --> 00:39:43,843
and the American teams?

628
00:39:43,844 --> 00:39:46,316
It was the view of
the Allied Meteorological Unit.

629
00:39:46,317 --> 00:39:49,252
Don't give me
that mealymouthed crap!

630
00:39:49,253 --> 00:39:51,717
Krick told me--
he just told me!--

631
00:39:51,718 --> 00:39:53,882
the weather on Monday
is gonna be fine.

632
00:39:53,883 --> 00:39:56,855
Just fine. Sunny and beautiful!

633
00:39:58,496 --> 00:40:01,023
Well, Colonel Krick had no right
to speak on behalf of...

634
00:40:01,024 --> 00:40:03,697
Wrong!
Colonel Krick has every right

635
00:40:03,698 --> 00:40:08,005
to speak up if he thinks
that that will affect

636
00:40:08,006 --> 00:40:10,231
the outcome of the invasion!

637
00:40:11,403 --> 00:40:12,673
Is that clear?!

638
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,373
Is it?!

639
00:40:17,374 --> 00:40:18,679
Yes, sir.

640
00:40:20,284 --> 00:40:23,511
Who do you think
you are, anyway?

641
00:40:23,512 --> 00:40:25,147
Who?

642
00:40:26,618 --> 00:40:29,921
Ordering my man to stand down?

643
00:40:29,922 --> 00:40:34,189
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?

644
00:40:37,562 --> 00:40:39,700
May I respond, sir?

645
00:40:40,872 --> 00:40:42,571
I'm all ears.

646
00:40:45,538 --> 00:40:49,244
As chief meteorological officer,

647
00:40:49,245 --> 00:40:51,239
I take full responsibility

648
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,714
for the recommendation made
at the meeting.

649
00:40:56,148 --> 00:41:00,380
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed

650
00:41:00,381 --> 00:41:04,554
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler

651
00:41:04,555 --> 00:41:06,393
if I spoke alone.

652
00:41:06,394 --> 00:41:09,890
Krick's forecasts have saved

653
00:41:09,891 --> 00:41:12,325
thousands of lives.

654
00:41:12,326 --> 00:41:16,671
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?

655
00:41:19,938 --> 00:41:21,745
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.

656
00:41:21,746 --> 00:41:23,436
Good.

657
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,840
I like luck.

658
00:41:26,841 --> 00:41:28,617
Why was he lucky?

659
00:41:29,618 --> 00:41:31,817
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked

660
00:41:31,818 --> 00:41:35,690
with forecasting
stable weather systems.

661
00:41:36,858 --> 00:41:40,163
When patterns are predictable,
then yes, of course,

662
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,464
analog charts can be useful.

663
00:41:42,465 --> 00:41:45,699
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.

664
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:47,929
- Not once.
- Well, of course he didn't.

665
00:41:47,930 --> 00:41:49,968
He was safe as houses there.

666
00:41:51,175 --> 00:41:53,670
The conditions here, sir...

667
00:41:53,671 --> 00:41:55,375
they're not comparable.

668
00:41:55,376 --> 00:41:57,547
Look at the charts, sir.

669
00:42:02,310 --> 00:42:04,852
Here, there are two--
not one but two--

670
00:42:04,853 --> 00:42:07,848
major storms advancing towards
the Normandy coast

671
00:42:07,849 --> 00:42:09,390
even as we speak.

672
00:42:09,391 --> 00:42:12,059
That's nowhere near France.

673
00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:13,629
No, sir.

674
00:42:14,898 --> 00:42:16,390
Not yet.

675
00:42:23,001 --> 00:42:25,542
I want a forecast
the two of you agree on.

676
00:42:27,339 --> 00:42:28,468
Clear?

677
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,547
Yes, sir.

678
00:42:33,714 --> 00:42:36,052
OPW confirmed full retraction.

679
00:42:36,053 --> 00:42:37,845
Thank you.

680
00:42:37,846 --> 00:42:39,688
Not at all, sir.

681
00:42:53,428 --> 00:42:56,772
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.

682
00:42:56,773 --> 00:43:00,170
Someone downstairs must have
leaked it, I'm afraid.

683
00:43:01,670 --> 00:43:02,942
Okay.

684
00:43:03,973 --> 00:43:06,546
He gets like that sometimes.

685
00:43:06,547 --> 00:43:08,242
Just let it wash over you.

686
00:43:08,243 --> 00:43:10,715
He won't even remember
what he said.

687
00:43:10,716 --> 00:43:12,413
That how you deal with him?

688
00:43:13,420 --> 00:43:15,382
Ah, he's nothing.

689
00:43:15,383 --> 00:43:18,119
I was an ambulance driver
during the Blitz.

690
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,693
There were so many dead bodies,

691
00:43:19,694 --> 00:43:21,697
we had to use a cinema
as a morgue.

692
00:43:22,961 --> 00:43:25,965
- You just grow a thick skin.
- Hmm.

693
00:43:29,140 --> 00:43:30,968
From ambulance driver

694
00:43:30,969 --> 00:43:33,470
to aide
to the supreme commander.

695
00:43:33,471 --> 00:43:35,540
Mm-hmm.

696
00:43:35,541 --> 00:43:38,212
Driver, secretary,

697
00:43:38,213 --> 00:43:40,480
aide, nurse.

698
00:43:40,481 --> 00:43:41,882
Everything, really.

699
00:43:44,819 --> 00:43:47,789
We've been together
for three years now.

700
00:43:48,985 --> 00:43:53,124
I've been to Morocco, Algeria.

701
00:43:58,498 --> 00:43:59,966
Must be exciting.

702
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,334
It has its moments.

703
00:44:14,881 --> 00:44:17,444
So, these storms
you keep talking about--

704
00:44:17,445 --> 00:44:20,118
how are you so certain
that they're coming?

705
00:44:22,423 --> 00:44:23,990
I'm not certain.

706
00:44:25,189 --> 00:44:27,290
You can't be certain
about the weather.

707
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:30,934
All we can do is
look to the evidence.

708
00:44:30,935 --> 00:44:36,200
Do you know that weathermen are
traditionally a little boring?

709
00:44:38,267 --> 00:44:41,139
How dare you say that?

710
00:44:43,374 --> 00:44:46,980
Weathermen, maybe, but how can
the weather be boring?

711
00:44:48,283 --> 00:44:50,284
It feeds us.

712
00:44:50,285 --> 00:44:52,117
The weather.

713
00:44:53,091 --> 00:44:55,225
Can destroy us.

714
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:57,551
Controls our daily life.

715
00:44:59,627 --> 00:45:01,456
I don't think that's boring.

716
00:45:06,729 --> 00:45:10,564
People ask, "When will it rain?
When will the sun come out?"

717
00:45:12,906 --> 00:45:14,843
But what about,
"Why does it rain?"

718
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:18,847
"Why does the wind blow?"

719
00:45:20,382 --> 00:45:21,850
"What's the wind?"

720
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:28,685
Excuse me.

721
00:45:28,686 --> 00:45:30,426
Yes. Stagg.

722
00:45:30,427 --> 00:45:31,988
Yes, go ahead. Repeat that.

723
00:45:31,989 --> 00:45:33,092
Zero, zero, one, zero, four...

724
00:45:34,556 --> 00:45:36,761
OFFICER
<i>StratoCu at 2,000 feet.</i>

725
00:45:36,762 --> 00:45:38,667
<i>Tops at 5,000 feet.</i>

726
00:45:51,282 --> 00:45:53,283
Good news or bad?

727
00:45:53,284 --> 00:45:54,881
We're looking good, sir.

728
00:45:54,882 --> 00:45:56,914
I couldn't disagree
with that more.

729
00:45:56,915 --> 00:45:58,618
We're not looking good at all.

730
00:45:58,619 --> 00:46:00,418
You know what, I am done

731
00:46:00,419 --> 00:46:03,954
with this Scotch pessimism
of yours, this Highland gloom.

732
00:46:03,955 --> 00:46:05,420
I'm not from the Highlands.

733
00:46:05,421 --> 00:46:06,961
Well, your Lowland gloom, then.

734
00:46:06,962 --> 00:46:09,161
I'm neither from the Highlands
nor the Lowlands.

735
00:46:10,259 --> 00:46:11,535
Well, wherever it is he's from,

736
00:46:11,536 --> 00:46:13,027
we're in good shape
for Monday, sir.

737
00:46:13,028 --> 00:46:14,629
You see this?

738
00:46:14,630 --> 00:46:16,696
This ridge of high pressure
has already moved in

739
00:46:16,697 --> 00:46:20,134
from the Azores,
just as it did on June 3, 1925.

740
00:46:20,135 --> 00:46:21,778
This is moronic.

741
00:46:22,742 --> 00:46:25,381
This is actually moronic.

742
00:46:25,382 --> 00:46:26,881
Oh, so I'm moronic now?

743
00:46:26,882 --> 00:46:28,374
That's great, Stagg.
That's just great.

744
00:46:28,375 --> 00:46:29,885
Just insult me right to my face.

745
00:46:29,886 --> 00:46:31,484
I'm not insulting you.
I'm just describing you.

746
00:46:31,485 --> 00:46:32,884
As a moron?

747
00:46:32,885 --> 00:46:33,984
All right, enough.

748
00:46:33,985 --> 00:46:35,659
As a confident moron, yes.

749
00:46:35,660 --> 00:46:37,156
Oh, go to hell, Stagg.
You come in here,

750
00:46:37,157 --> 00:46:38,551
you think you're better
than us? -Hey! All right,

751
00:46:38,552 --> 00:46:39,823
all right, all right,
that's enough.

752
00:46:39,824 --> 00:46:42,431
Jesus Christ.

753
00:46:42,432 --> 00:46:45,264
We have three hours.

754
00:46:45,265 --> 00:46:48,761
Three hours until we
take this up with the C-in-Cs.

755
00:46:50,998 --> 00:46:52,501
Now...

756
00:46:53,937 --> 00:46:56,303
...go or not go?

757
00:46:56,304 --> 00:46:57,810
Sir, what we need to consider...

758
00:46:57,811 --> 00:46:59,907
No, no. No, no more considering.

759
00:46:59,908 --> 00:47:01,276
No.

760
00:47:01,277 --> 00:47:04,314
Go or don't go? Go or don't go?

761
00:47:04,315 --> 00:47:06,080
That's it. Which is it?!

762
00:47:06,081 --> 00:47:07,285
We should go, sir.

763
00:47:08,290 --> 00:47:09,490
Stagg.

764
00:47:12,821 --> 00:47:14,527
I'm sorry,
we'll have to call you back.

765
00:47:14,528 --> 00:47:15,623
Understood.

766
00:47:16,624 --> 00:47:18,464
Uh, uh, I-I'm sorry, sir.
It's for you.

767
00:47:18,465 --> 00:47:20,097
Not now.

768
00:47:20,098 --> 00:47:21,794
They say it's extremely urgent.

769
00:47:26,474 --> 00:47:28,275
Yes. Stagg.

770
00:47:28,276 --> 00:47:30,144
Sir, this is
Private Amy Haig from Signals

771
00:47:30,145 --> 00:47:32,609
relaying a message from
the Dunstable Met Office.

772
00:47:32,610 --> 00:47:35,079
Your wife was taken to the
maternity ward of St. Mary's.

773
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,387
- She is pregnant, yes?
- Yes.

774
00:47:37,388 --> 00:47:38,684
Yes, that's correct.

775
00:47:38,685 --> 00:47:40,015
Is the baby here?

776
00:47:40,016 --> 00:47:41,658
Have I missed it?

777
00:47:41,659 --> 00:47:43,860
Well, sir,
they felt you should know:

778
00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:46,358
St. Mary's Hospital was bombed
earlier tonight.

779
00:47:46,359 --> 00:47:49,127
There have been casualties,
sir, and they're...

780
00:47:49,128 --> 00:47:51,329
they're still looking
for your wife.

781
00:47:57,903 --> 00:47:59,700
Group Captain Stagg?

782
00:48:06,814 --> 00:48:08,814
Is there any more information?

783
00:48:08,815 --> 00:48:10,711
Not at this point, sir.

784
00:48:12,182 --> 00:48:14,014
But there's been casualties?

785
00:48:14,015 --> 00:48:15,485
Yes, sir.

786
00:48:23,026 --> 00:48:25,330
Okay. Well, um...

787
00:48:26,867 --> 00:48:29,773
Well, if you have any more...

788
00:48:29,774 --> 00:48:32,199
information,
then let me know-- anything.

789
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,866
Of course, sir.

790
00:48:37,006 --> 00:48:38,547
Thank you.

791
00:48:38,548 --> 00:48:40,180
You're welcome, sir.

792
00:48:42,983 --> 00:48:44,877
There a problem, Stagg?

793
00:48:53,860 --> 00:48:56,223
No. It's irrelevant.

794
00:48:56,224 --> 00:48:58,424
Good.

795
00:48:58,425 --> 00:49:00,464
So, can I give the order?

796
00:49:02,899 --> 00:49:04,934
What?

797
00:49:04,935 --> 00:49:06,837
The order.

798
00:49:06,838 --> 00:49:08,637
For Monday.

799
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:11,805
No.

800
00:49:13,481 --> 00:49:15,017
N-No?

801
00:49:15,018 --> 00:49:18,750
I mean, so you're saying
don't give the order?

802
00:49:18,751 --> 00:49:20,951
Is that it?

803
00:49:20,952 --> 00:49:22,915
Yeah, that... Yes.

804
00:49:25,060 --> 00:49:28,691
Yes. I'm saying that...
I'm saying...

805
00:49:28,692 --> 00:49:33,068
that the weather on Monday
will be extremely poor.

806
00:49:35,268 --> 00:49:37,435
Let me tell you
my problem, Stagg.

807
00:49:39,268 --> 00:49:42,471
Even I can see that

808
00:49:42,472 --> 00:49:46,950
Krick's anticyclone
is on the move,

809
00:49:46,951 --> 00:49:51,449
because it's right here
on the goddamn map.

810
00:49:53,825 --> 00:49:58,522
Now, our final meeting
is at 0400 hours,

811
00:49:58,523 --> 00:50:01,531
and that will be
the absolute last opportunity

812
00:50:01,532 --> 00:50:04,001
to change anything,

813
00:50:04,002 --> 00:50:08,362
so unless you can prove
these storms are inbound,

814
00:50:08,363 --> 00:50:10,838
we invade as planned

815
00:50:10,839 --> 00:50:15,605
Monday, June 5th, 0630 hours.

816
00:50:16,610 --> 00:50:18,614
Yes, sir.

817
00:50:18,615 --> 00:50:20,579
Three hours, gentlemen.

818
00:50:49,571 --> 00:50:50,945
You ready? You ready?

819
00:51:03,255 --> 00:51:05,624

Come with me.

848
00:53:08,848 --> 00:53:10,318
Come on.

849
00:53:11,546 --> 00:53:13,785
We need you back there.

850
00:53:16,460 --> 00:53:17,952
Come on.

851
00:53:21,490 --> 00:53:23,529
You'll be all right.

852
00:53:24,525 --> 00:53:26,301
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

853
00:53:30,773 --> 00:53:32,398
Anything at all.

854
00:53:32,399 --> 00:53:33,836
Yeah.

855
00:53:37,738 --> 00:53:39,908
Uh, this just came through, sir.

856
00:54:10,407 --> 00:54:11,846
I want to say something.

857
00:54:11,847 --> 00:54:14,009
Yeah, what's that?

858
00:54:14,010 --> 00:54:16,582
I think the way
you're treating Stagg is wrong.

859
00:54:17,778 --> 00:54:19,253
I think if you keep it up,

860
00:54:19,254 --> 00:54:21,253
he's gonna crack
and you'll lose him.

861
00:54:21,254 --> 00:54:23,359
Then I'll work with Krick.

862
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,753
You know I like Irv,
but he-he's no match for Stagg.

863
00:54:26,754 --> 00:54:28,260
Since when are you an expert?

864
00:54:28,261 --> 00:54:29,932
Don't talk to me like that.

865
00:54:29,933 --> 00:54:31,901
His wife is in the hospital.

866
00:54:31,902 --> 00:54:33,429
- She's pregnant.
- In labor.

867
00:54:33,430 --> 00:54:35,133
Hospital's bombed, yes.

868
00:54:35,134 --> 00:54:36,901
I know. What else?

869
00:54:36,902 --> 00:54:40,775
He doesn't know if his
pregnant wife is dead or alive.

870
00:54:40,776 --> 00:54:42,375
Uh-huh. Yes.

871
00:54:42,376 --> 00:54:44,239
- Let me find out.
- Find out what?

872
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:46,481
I can make it to the hospital
and back in a couple of hours.

873
00:54:46,482 --> 00:54:48,477
- How are you gonna do that?
- It'll give him clarity.

874
00:54:48,478 --> 00:54:49,919
No. No, I need you here.

875
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,312
It's just a couple of hours.

876
00:54:51,313 --> 00:54:52,717
No.

877
00:54:56,319 --> 00:54:58,052
Dismissed.

878
00:55:02,327 --> 00:55:03,862
Dismissed, Lieutenant.

879
00:55:16,111 --> 00:55:17,609
<i>South Iceland,</i>

880
00:55:17,610 --> 00:55:19,482
<i>seven-tenths StratoCu,
3,000 feet,</i>

881
00:55:19,483 --> 00:55:21,107
<i>- southeast force six.
- </i>

882
00:55:21,108 --> 00:55:22,574
<i>...ten-tenths at 1,500 feet.</i>

883
00:55:33,287 --> 00:55:35,628
So we have warm sector
conditions over Ireland,

884
00:55:35,629 --> 00:55:37,867
and low 9-9-6 is off
the northwest of Scotland.

885
00:55:37,868 --> 00:55:39,034
It's the secondary low.

886
00:55:39,035 --> 00:55:40,767
That's causing a low cloud base.

887
00:55:40,768 --> 00:55:43,030
It's very high dew points
in that warm sector upstream.

888
00:55:43,031 --> 00:55:44,466
No sign of frontal systems
moving north.

889
00:55:44,467 --> 00:55:46,300
Not yet.

890
00:55:46,301 --> 00:55:47,940
- They're about to start, sir.
- Just a couple more minutes.

891
00:55:47,941 --> 00:55:49,444
Please.

892
00:55:49,445 --> 00:55:52,209
I have the 1300 and 1800
surface air maps. Bryant.

893
00:55:52,210 --> 00:55:53,877
It's okay.

894
00:55:57,151 --> 00:55:59,179
We don't need the charts.

895
00:56:00,718 --> 00:56:02,756
We still have
a little time, sir.

896
00:56:38,923 --> 00:56:41,763
Irving, why don't you
start us off, please?

897
00:56:41,764 --> 00:56:43,392
Yes, sir.

898
00:56:43,393 --> 00:56:44,992
Gentlemen...

899
00:56:44,993 --> 00:56:48,928
this is a chart
for June 3, 1925.

900
00:56:48,929 --> 00:56:50,935
You'll notice here and here

901
00:56:50,936 --> 00:56:54,208
a temporary weakening
of pressure over the Azores,

902
00:56:54,209 --> 00:56:56,204
just as we're seeing today.

903
00:56:56,205 --> 00:57:00,912
Now, within 24 hours,
that pressure reasserted itself,

904
00:57:00,913 --> 00:57:03,743
and it cleared the storm
threatening Northern Europe.

905
00:57:03,744 --> 00:57:06,721
As you can see...

906
00:57:06,722 --> 00:57:11,722
...nearly identical patterns
occurred in 1904 and 1925,

907
00:57:11,723 --> 00:57:13,722
and I can give you
plenty of others,

908
00:57:13,723 --> 00:57:16,530
but the bottom line is this:

909
00:57:16,531 --> 00:57:21,397
Tomorrow, Monday, June 5th,
is good to go.

910
00:57:25,633 --> 00:57:27,601
Thank you.

911
00:57:33,508 --> 00:57:35,407
Stagg?

912
00:57:36,415 --> 00:57:37,783
You've got the floor.

913
00:57:43,754 --> 00:57:46,759
Nobody here likes me very much.

914
00:57:47,958 --> 00:57:50,462
I realize that,
and that's all right.

915
00:57:50,463 --> 00:57:52,597
I don't expect you to like me,

916
00:57:52,598 --> 00:57:55,834
but I do want you
to listen to me.

917
00:57:57,407 --> 00:58:00,438
Um, I could stand here
and provide you

918
00:58:00,439 --> 00:58:04,909
with yet more, uh, data--

919
00:58:04,910 --> 00:58:07,682
the latest barometric readings,
the wind speeds,

920
00:58:07,683 --> 00:58:10,720
the new upper-air soundings
that we've collated--

921
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:14,446
but none of it is going to make
a lick of difference, is it?

922
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:17,922
Is it?

923
00:58:19,856 --> 00:58:23,589
Because you want
to believe that--

924
00:58:23,590 --> 00:58:27,264
what Colonel Krick's just said,
that it's going to be safe

925
00:58:27,265 --> 00:58:30,306
to land in Normandy tomorrow--
and so that's what you believe.

926
00:58:30,307 --> 00:58:33,471
But everything
that he's just said

927
00:58:33,472 --> 00:58:36,538
is pure, unadulterated...

928
00:58:36,539 --> 00:58:38,507
horseshit.

929
00:58:42,045 --> 00:58:45,285
You can muster
all the tanks and soldiers

930
00:58:45,286 --> 00:58:48,053
and ships that you like.

931
00:58:48,054 --> 00:58:52,057
You can assemble the greatest
armada that ever there was,

932
00:58:52,058 --> 00:58:56,224
but if you invade tomorrow,
they're going to be washed away.

933
00:58:58,734 --> 00:59:02,966
Because the storms that
I'm talking about are real,

934
00:59:02,967 --> 00:59:04,967
and the jet stream
that's propelling them

935
00:59:04,968 --> 00:59:08,375
towards the Normandy coast
is real,

936
00:59:08,376 --> 00:59:10,579
and the wrath of nature...

937
00:59:14,313 --> 00:59:16,052
...is real.

938
00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:18,553
And if you ignore it,

939
00:59:18,554 --> 00:59:22,756
then countless men
and countless boys...

940
00:59:32,826 --> 00:59:34,002
That's it.

941
00:59:38,934 --> 00:59:40,675
He's lost his bloody mind.

942
00:59:43,245 --> 00:59:45,174
Why is it horseshit?

943
00:59:46,174 --> 00:59:47,748
Yes, the weather was
as he described

944
00:59:47,749 --> 00:59:51,849
in 1904 and 1925,
but he fails to mention 1916.

945
00:59:51,850 --> 00:59:53,820
June 5th,
the Battle for Mount Sorrel.

946
00:59:53,821 --> 00:59:56,218
Then, as now, there were
areas of high pressure

947
00:59:56,219 --> 00:59:58,890
above the Azores,
but the storms came anyway.

948
00:59:58,891 --> 01:00:01,196
Many people here will remember
that battle.

949
01:00:01,197 --> 01:00:03,957
Chaos. Absolute chaos!

950
01:00:03,958 --> 01:00:05,796
Thousands of lives lost!

951
01:00:05,797 --> 01:00:07,899
Hell on earth! Torrential rain!

952
01:00:07,900 --> 01:00:10,871
He's selecting the data
that suits him

953
01:00:10,872 --> 01:00:13,602
and ignoring the rest,
and we must face the facts.

954
01:00:13,603 --> 01:00:15,574
The facts!

955
01:00:15,575 --> 01:00:17,613
However frightening they may be!

956
01:00:21,050 --> 01:00:23,152
Well, if...

957
01:00:23,153 --> 01:00:26,149
if not Monday, when?

958
01:00:29,390 --> 01:00:31,353
Not before June 18.

959
01:00:31,354 --> 01:00:34,397
Christ on a bike, he's still
talking about the 18th.

960
01:00:34,398 --> 01:00:35,922
The 18th?

961
01:00:35,923 --> 01:00:37,495
There is no 18th.

962
01:00:37,496 --> 01:00:40,199
No 18th. No 18th!

963
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:41,435
None!

964
01:00:41,436 --> 01:00:42,601
None, none, none, none, none!

965
01:00:42,602 --> 01:00:45,073
The 18th is not an option!

966
01:00:45,074 --> 01:00:46,565
Montgomery.

967
01:00:58,515 --> 01:01:00,683
Bertie...

968
01:01:00,684 --> 01:01:04,126
what is the worst

969
01:01:04,127 --> 01:01:06,321
we can tolerate?

970
01:01:06,322 --> 01:01:09,698
Waves of four to six feet
would be tolerable.

971
01:01:11,300 --> 01:01:13,860
Anything over six feet...

972
01:01:13,861 --> 01:01:15,968
impossible.

973
01:01:17,501 --> 01:01:19,003
Stagg?

974
01:01:19,004 --> 01:01:20,636
I'm estimating waves
of eight to ten feet.

975
01:01:27,943 --> 01:01:29,850
Trafford, worst case?

976
01:01:29,851 --> 01:01:31,781
Cloud base can't be lower
than a thousand feet,

977
01:01:31,782 --> 01:01:34,085
or we're flying blind.

978
01:01:34,086 --> 01:01:37,083
Cloud base will be
at least eight to ten-tenths

979
01:01:37,084 --> 01:01:38,655
below a thousand feet.

980
01:01:38,656 --> 01:01:40,456
Then don't fly.

981
01:01:40,457 --> 01:01:42,322
Ramsay, you get us ashore,
our men will handle the rest.

982
01:01:42,323 --> 01:01:44,100
- Without air cover?
- With or without.

983
01:01:44,101 --> 01:01:45,798
Shut up, Monty.

984
01:01:45,799 --> 01:01:47,834
We need to land,
is what we need to do.

985
01:01:47,835 --> 01:01:50,005
If we don't land,
we have no fourth front,

986
01:01:50,006 --> 01:01:51,731
- and without a fourth front...
- For God's sake, Monty.

987
01:01:51,732 --> 01:01:54,475
With waves of ten feet,
we won't be landing anywhere.

988
01:01:54,476 --> 01:01:56,041
Well, then, let's just start

989
01:01:56,042 --> 01:01:57,643
the blasted Kraut lessons now,
then, shall we,

990
01:01:57,644 --> 01:01:59,043
and all the goose-stepping?

991
01:01:59,044 --> 01:02:00,981
And then maybe one day
years from now,

992
01:02:00,982 --> 01:02:02,977
we can all yodel about
the time that we didn't...

993
01:02:02,978 --> 01:02:05,017
Enough!

994
01:02:14,564 --> 01:02:16,889
Krick, do you have
anything to add?

995
01:02:16,890 --> 01:02:19,566
I'm telling you, sir, next week
is nothing but clear skies.

996
01:02:19,567 --> 01:02:22,594
If you choose to postpone,

997
01:02:22,595 --> 01:02:24,832
you'll regret it
for the rest of your lives.

998
01:02:27,904 --> 01:02:29,778
I maintain my position.

999
01:02:34,548 --> 01:02:36,708
And I maintain mine.

1000
01:02:42,049 --> 01:02:44,051
Then so be it.

1001
01:02:44,052 --> 01:02:45,721
D-Day will be postponed.

1002
01:03:00,637 --> 01:03:02,278
Ike.

1003
01:03:02,279 --> 01:03:03,778
I hate to bring this up,

1004
01:03:03,779 --> 01:03:05,579
but we have hundreds
of thousands of troops

1005
01:03:05,580 --> 01:03:07,110
ready to deploy down there.

1006
01:03:07,111 --> 01:03:08,582
Now, they've obviously
been briefed

1007
01:03:08,583 --> 01:03:10,247
<i>as to the invasion plans.</i>

1008
01:03:10,248 --> 01:03:12,214
<i>Yeah,
that's a lot of loose lips.</i>

1009
01:03:12,215 --> 01:03:13,922
Secure all troops.

1010
01:03:13,923 --> 01:03:15,449
- I repeat, secure all troops.
- I repeat,

1011
01:03:15,450 --> 01:03:17,156
<i>all troops must be
detained at once.</i>

1012
01:03:17,157 --> 01:03:18,550
<i>No one leaves
until further notice.</i>

1013
01:03:18,551 --> 01:03:20,686
No one leaves
until further notice.

1014
01:03:20,687 --> 01:03:23,126
I repeat, all troops
must be detained at once.

1015
01:03:23,127 --> 01:03:24,600
All troops must be
detained at once.

1016
01:03:24,601 --> 01:03:26,802
Secure them on board,
no exceptions.

1017
01:03:55,926 --> 01:03:57,525
You did the right thing.

1018
01:04:12,907 --> 01:04:14,344
Jesus.

1019
01:04:17,716 --> 01:04:19,517
Should've gone.

1020
01:04:19,518 --> 01:04:21,021

guide us on our way.

Courage to support us

1049
01:08:56,993 --> 01:09:00,894
Amen.

1050
01:10:06,697 --> 01:10:09,870
We can't keep the men
locked up like this, Ike.

1051
01:10:09,871 --> 01:10:11,635
Not for two more weeks.

1052
01:10:13,667 --> 01:10:16,036
Well, what do you want me to do?

1053
01:10:16,037 --> 01:10:19,247
Furlough 300,000 men
with the playbook for D-Day?

1054
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,844
We might as well
tell the Nazis ourselves.

1055
01:10:23,786 --> 01:10:26,078
It's just an observation.

1056
01:10:28,187 --> 01:10:30,357
We will find a way, Trafford.

1057
01:10:31,287 --> 01:10:32,887
Hang in there.

1058
01:10:34,222 --> 01:10:35,362
Yes.

1059
01:10:36,389 --> 01:10:37,595
Sir.

1060
01:10:46,099 --> 01:10:48,206
So L2 and 3
have merged into one system.

1061
01:10:48,207 --> 01:10:49,672
Mm. And a new low

1062
01:10:49,673 --> 01:10:51,075
has intensified
east of Newfoundland.

1063
01:10:51,076 --> 01:10:52,605
Uh, sir?

1064
01:10:52,606 --> 01:10:54,007
Excuse me, Dr. Stagg?

1065
01:10:55,714 --> 01:10:58,583
The cold front appears to be
clearing western Ireland.

1066
01:11:01,348 --> 01:11:02,824
What?

1067
01:11:02,825 --> 01:11:04,325
It's clearing, sir.

1068
01:11:07,897 --> 01:11:10,095
What's the geostrophic gradient?

1069
01:11:10,096 --> 01:11:13,933
Uh, 40 knots north, sir.

1070
01:11:13,934 --> 01:11:16,130
So it's slowing.

1071
01:11:16,131 --> 01:11:18,404
Well, you can't be sure, sir.
We've only had one reading.

1072
01:11:18,405 --> 01:11:20,198
- Where'd it come from?
- Northwest Ireland.

1073
01:11:20,199 --> 01:11:22,139
Tell me specifically,
who... who recorded it?

1074
01:11:22,140 --> 01:11:23,637
What weather base?

1075
01:11:23,638 --> 01:11:26,948
A Miss Maureen Sweeney, sir.

1076
01:11:26,949 --> 01:11:28,745
- Blacksod Point.
- Show me.

1077
01:11:33,254 --> 01:11:35,286
Well, call her back.
Double-check it.

1078
01:11:35,287 --> 01:11:36,791
- Triple-check it.
- Sir.

1079
01:11:36,792 --> 01:11:37,919
Right now, please.

1080
01:11:40,226 --> 01:11:41,954
Can you ask, uh, Teleprinter Ops

1081
01:11:41,955 --> 01:11:43,760
to get me readings
from every base

1082
01:11:43,761 --> 01:11:46,159
within 500 miles
of Blacksod Point? Right now.

1083
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,801
Can I get the latest
climate readings, please?

1084
01:12:04,180 --> 01:12:05,815
Yeah?

1085
01:12:07,282 --> 01:12:08,653
Um...

1086
01:12:10,852 --> 01:12:14,021
This just came in
from Blacksod Point.

1087
01:12:22,167 --> 01:12:23,465
Was it checked?

1088
01:12:23,466 --> 01:12:25,164
They're checking it now.

1089
01:12:26,165 --> 01:12:29,201
Could mean something,
could mean nothing.

1090
01:12:30,340 --> 01:12:32,209
Yes, but which?

1091
01:12:32,210 --> 01:12:33,447
What do you think?

1092
01:12:34,546 --> 01:12:36,316
Why are you asking me?

1093
01:12:36,317 --> 01:12:38,485
Look out the goddamn window,
Stagg.

1094
01:12:38,486 --> 01:12:41,114
I'm asking you because
I need your expertise.

1095
01:12:46,321 --> 01:12:47,692
Please.

1096
01:12:51,659 --> 01:12:53,324
It's the fifth reading.

1097
01:13:05,740 --> 01:13:07,245
It is unusual.

1098
01:13:07,246 --> 01:13:09,846
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it is.

1099
01:13:12,548 --> 01:13:14,587
It's worth looking into.

1100
01:13:15,581 --> 01:13:17,250
Good.

1101
01:13:17,251 --> 01:13:19,758
OFFICER
Heavy frontal cloud, west of 35.

1102
01:13:19,759 --> 01:13:21,594
Blacksod Point
barometer fell overnight,

1103
01:13:21,595 --> 01:13:23,555
then slight rise by afternoon,
front offshore.

1104
01:13:25,893 --> 01:13:28,734
1-0-1-1 millibars.

1105
01:13:28,735 --> 01:13:30,734
Who do you got now?
Who are you speaking with?

1106
01:13:30,735 --> 01:13:31,930
I was just asking him about...

1107
01:13:31,931 --> 01:13:33,936
So, what are you doing now?

1108
01:13:34,937 --> 01:13:38,380
And get the result
for that one, please.

1109
01:13:38,381 --> 01:13:40,212
The low is moving
in the right direction, but...

1110
01:13:40,213 --> 01:13:42,010
- It's too close.
- Yeah.

1111
01:13:43,177 --> 01:13:45,285
Hamilton, when's the next chart
coming out?

1112
01:13:45,286 --> 01:13:46,650
Within the hour, sir.

1113
01:13:46,651 --> 01:13:48,081
Within the hour
is not good enough.

1114
01:13:48,082 --> 01:13:49,853
Can we get...
can we get Dunstable...

1115
01:13:49,854 --> 01:13:51,985
a result from Dun-Dunstable in,
please, soon?

1116
01:13:51,986 --> 01:13:53,791
It should've been with us
an hour ago.

1117
01:13:53,792 --> 01:13:55,426
What's the movement
on the cold front?

1118
01:13:55,427 --> 01:13:57,332
Still 30 knots, sir.

1119
01:13:57,333 --> 01:13:59,462
Have you ever seen
a progression like this?

1120
01:13:59,463 --> 01:14:02,234
Never. Winter, maybe.

1121
01:14:02,235 --> 01:14:03,968
Never this time of year.

1122
01:14:03,969 --> 01:14:05,605
StratoCu
lifting above 2,000 feet.

1123
01:14:05,606 --> 01:14:06,968
Sea surface
temperature, 15 degrees.

1124
01:14:06,969 --> 01:14:08,276
Data points up
to 400 millibars.

1125
01:14:08,277 --> 01:14:10,212
What are you looking for?

1126
01:14:10,213 --> 01:14:12,145
A gap,
because there's one there.

1127
01:14:12,146 --> 01:14:13,707
You call that a gap?

1128
01:14:13,708 --> 01:14:15,415
Yes, I call that a gap.

1129
01:14:15,416 --> 01:14:16,813
That's a very narrow gap.

1130
01:14:16,814 --> 01:14:18,579
A narrow gap is still a gap.
Thank you.

1131
01:14:18,580 --> 01:14:20,047
Do you see a gap?

1132
01:14:20,048 --> 01:14:21,451
I believe there's one
forming, sir, yes.

1133
01:14:21,452 --> 01:14:22,688
Yes, a gap. Thank you.

1134
01:14:26,628 --> 01:14:29,929
So, if this was a normal
forecast, would you call it?

1135
01:14:29,930 --> 01:14:31,264
Yeah.

1136
01:14:31,265 --> 01:14:33,468
I don't know. Uh, probably.

1137
01:14:34,737 --> 01:14:35,965
Yeah.

1138
01:14:37,163 --> 01:14:39,298
The only difference is
it's D-Day.

1139
01:14:41,174 --> 01:14:42,642
Big difference.

1140
01:14:46,344 --> 01:14:48,276
Call Eisenhower.

1141
01:15:07,532 --> 01:15:09,969
You wanted to see me?

1142
01:15:09,970 --> 01:15:11,264
Yes, sir.

1143
01:15:13,175 --> 01:15:15,334
There's been a development, sir.

1144
01:15:15,335 --> 01:15:18,270
It seems the storm
at Newfoundland is slowing.

1145
01:15:18,271 --> 01:15:21,943
We believe it's enough
to provide a... a...

1146
01:15:21,944 --> 01:15:24,783
a window
in the disruptive weather.

1147
01:15:25,854 --> 01:15:27,280
Um...

1148
01:15:29,457 --> 01:15:31,489
Well, if I may,
th-the cigarettes

1149
01:15:31,490 --> 01:15:33,952
are the Newfoundland storm,

1150
01:15:33,953 --> 01:15:35,563
the larger one of three.

1151
01:15:36,565 --> 01:15:38,525
My glasses here are
the two smaller storms.

1152
01:15:38,526 --> 01:15:41,469
Currently, the larger storm is
dragging the two smaller storms

1153
01:15:41,470 --> 01:15:44,568
away from the Normandy coast,
leaving a...

1154
01:15:44,569 --> 01:15:46,874
a gap in the weather of sorts

1155
01:15:46,875 --> 01:15:51,274
just long enough for us to land
in Normandy on Tuesday morning.

1156
01:15:51,275 --> 01:15:52,742
Tuesday?

1157
01:15:52,743 --> 01:15:56,980
As in 26 hours from now,
Tuesday?

1158
01:15:56,981 --> 01:15:58,717
Sir, if you just look
at the latest charts...

1159
01:15:58,718 --> 01:16:00,749
I don't want to look
at your damn charts.

1160
01:16:00,750 --> 01:16:03,052
It's a bunch of gobbledygook.

1161
01:16:03,053 --> 01:16:05,591
What I want is for you
to get down on your knees

1162
01:16:05,592 --> 01:16:07,222
and look me in the eye
and tell me,

1163
01:16:07,223 --> 01:16:09,727
"Tuesday morning, sir,
the sun's got his hat on."

1164
01:16:09,728 --> 01:16:11,698
Because in case
you haven't noticed,

1165
01:16:11,699 --> 01:16:13,864
there's a goddamn hurricane
blowing out there!

1166
01:16:13,865 --> 01:16:15,669
Technically, it's not
a hurricane, sir.

1167
01:16:18,432 --> 01:16:21,505
Sunny weather, you say stop.
Hurricane, you say go.

1168
01:16:21,506 --> 01:16:22,773
Well, no. Well, yes, sir.

1169
01:16:22,774 --> 01:16:23,974
Yes, that's exactly
what I'm saying.

1170
01:16:27,413 --> 01:16:31,382
Send my men into...

1171
01:16:31,383 --> 01:16:34,050
into the storm?

1172
01:16:37,585 --> 01:16:39,154
Yeah.

1173
01:16:42,498 --> 01:16:44,224
They'll never see it coming,
sir, never.

1174
01:16:44,225 --> 01:16:46,601
A gap like this
in the storm-- never.

1175
01:17:01,878 --> 01:17:03,783
You're absolutely sure of that?

1176
01:17:07,757 --> 01:17:11,923
Are you absolutely sure
about that, Group Captain Stagg?

1177
01:17:14,263 --> 01:17:16,290
I'm sure there'll be a gap.

1178
01:17:17,399 --> 01:17:19,925
The weather won't be perfect...

1179
01:17:19,926 --> 01:17:21,801
but it'll do.

1180
01:17:23,471 --> 01:17:25,497
This is your official position?

1181
01:17:29,344 --> 01:17:32,812
My official position is this.

1182
01:17:35,181 --> 01:17:36,816
Go.

1183
01:17:40,321 --> 01:17:42,184
You should go, sir.

1184
01:17:45,754 --> 01:17:47,288
Okay, we'll go.

1185
01:17:50,122 --> 01:17:52,359
D-Day is Tuesday, June 6.

1186
01:18:23,324 --> 01:18:27,568
This is my statement...

1187
01:18:27,569 --> 01:18:31,203
- if all goes well tomorrow.
- Mm-hmm.

1188
01:18:31,204 --> 01:18:33,999
And...

1189
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:35,666
this one if not.

1190
01:18:41,414 --> 01:18:42,548
- Hey.
- Hmm?

1191
01:18:42,549 --> 01:18:44,246
I've got a surprise for you.

1192
01:18:47,420 --> 01:18:49,383
Rare as nylons.

1193
01:19:01,736 --> 01:19:04,137
I have a good feeling
about tomorrow.

1194
01:19:17,245 --> 01:19:19,218
- You should get some sleep.
- Yes.

1195
01:19:19,219 --> 01:19:20,678
Yeah?

1196
01:19:25,251 --> 01:19:27,960
- 0630 hours.
- 0630 hours.

1197
01:19:31,131 --> 01:19:36,563
My men did all that bravery
and devotion to duty could do.

1198
01:19:36,564 --> 01:19:42,443
If any blame or fault
is attached to the attempt,

1199
01:19:42,444 --> 01:19:46,308
it is mine and mine alone.

1200
01:19:48,812 --> 01:19:50,213
That's what I wrote.

1201
01:19:51,914 --> 01:19:54,613
In case we fail tomorrow.

1202
01:19:56,322 --> 01:19:57,957
