1
00:02:00,569 --> 00:02:02,112
Here, have a puff.

2
00:02:24,927 --> 00:02:26,720
Fuck me.

3
00:02:53,622 --> 00:02:54,748
Right.

4
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:57,835
Are you sure
there's time?

5
00:02:59,003 --> 00:03:00,254
There's time.

6
00:03:06,927 --> 00:03:08,637
Thank you.

7
00:03:18,105 --> 00:03:19,607
They say how long
you'll be gone for?

8
00:03:21,233 --> 00:03:22,276
No, they didn't say.

9
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,827
I'm very proud
they chose you, Jim.

10
00:03:36,206 --> 00:03:37,333
I'll be fine.

11
00:03:39,793 --> 00:03:40,920
Go.

12
00:03:42,421 --> 00:03:43,881
Okay.

13
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:09,281
Morning, sir.

14
00:04:51,615 --> 00:04:52,700
Sir.

15
00:04:53,492 --> 00:04:55,202
Group Captain
Dr. James Stagg,

16
00:04:55,285 --> 00:04:58,455
Chief Meteorological Officer,
reporting for duty.

17
00:04:58,539 --> 00:05:00,040
I.D. card and pass,
please, sir.

18
00:05:00,124 --> 00:05:01,250
Right
this way, sir.

19
00:05:02,543 --> 00:05:04,143
Welcome to
Southwick House, sir.

20
00:05:06,338 --> 00:05:08,882
I'm Andrew Carter with the
Met Office. I'll be your ADC.

21
00:05:08,966 --> 00:05:10,634
Mmm-hmm.

22
00:05:21,061 --> 00:05:23,221
I must admit it's a great
honor to meet you, Dr. Stagg.

23
00:05:24,106 --> 00:05:25,959
I so enjoyed your paper
on terrestrial magnetism.

24
00:05:25,983 --> 00:05:27,693
It's a fascinating
subject.

25
00:05:27,776 --> 00:05:29,319
It is, yes.

26
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:48,088
And here we are, sir.

27
00:06:03,729 --> 00:06:05,230
Operations rooms
are upstairs, sir.

28
00:06:05,314 --> 00:06:06,774
Teleprinters
are in the cellars.

29
00:06:06,857 --> 00:06:08,537
And our forecast room
is just through here.

30
00:06:19,912 --> 00:06:21,389
Where can I put this
down? Anywhere, sir.

31
00:06:21,413 --> 00:06:23,373
We'll have someone
take it to your tent.

32
00:06:24,833 --> 00:06:25,876
What are these?

33
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:27,559
They're
historical analog charts.

34
00:06:27,586 --> 00:06:29,272
I know what they are, but
what are they doing here?

35
00:06:29,296 --> 00:06:31,131
Colonel Krick,
he requested them.

36
00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:35,344
Well, which one is he?
Introduce me.

37
00:06:35,427 --> 00:06:36,845
I believe
he's with General...

38
00:06:36,929 --> 00:06:39,098
Can you stop! Stop
the banging, please.

39
00:06:42,518 --> 00:06:45,118
I believe he's with
General Eisenhower at the moment, sir.

40
00:06:48,982 --> 00:06:50,359
I'll call
you back.

41
00:06:52,986 --> 00:06:54,071
Sir.

42
00:06:54,154 --> 00:06:55,531
What's coming through?

43
00:06:55,614 --> 00:06:58,075
Soundings at 53 north,
35 west, sir.

44
00:06:59,243 --> 00:07:01,495
Mmm-hmm. Weather
ship Hoste, yes?

45
00:07:01,578 --> 00:07:02,704
Yes, sir.

46
00:07:02,788 --> 00:07:04,790
Uh, Casey and Bryant
here are linked directly

47
00:07:04,873 --> 00:07:06,851
to the Teleprinter Ops at
Dunstable and Bushy Park.

48
00:07:06,875 --> 00:07:08,752
Which one are you?
I'm Casey, sir.

49
00:07:08,836 --> 00:07:11,213
That's wrong, Casey.

50
00:07:13,132 --> 00:07:15,134
Our American
contingents, sir.

51
00:07:17,177 --> 00:07:18,428
This is Flight Officer Murray,

52
00:07:18,512 --> 00:07:19,805
Flight Officer Hamilton.

53
00:07:19,888 --> 00:07:21,783
Good to meet you, sir.
They're on surface weather.

54
00:07:21,807 --> 00:07:23,934
What, both of you?
Who's on upper air?

55
00:07:24,601 --> 00:07:25,894
Uh, no one, sir.

56
00:07:25,978 --> 00:07:27,020
No one's on upper air?

57
00:07:27,104 --> 00:07:29,439
So that data just goes
unrecorded, does it?

58
00:07:31,024 --> 00:07:33,527
I'll need both of you
on upper air at all times.

59
00:07:33,610 --> 00:07:35,672
Uh, we were told to use
historical analog charts, sir.

60
00:07:35,696 --> 00:07:37,531
Not by me. Those
weren't my instructions.

61
00:07:37,614 --> 00:07:40,200
It's just, Colonel Krick
instructed us otherwise, sir.

62
00:07:40,284 --> 00:07:41,618
Did he?
Do I have an office?

63
00:07:41,702 --> 00:07:43,370
Yes, sir. It's just
through here.

64
00:07:52,421 --> 00:07:53,422
Ah.

65
00:07:54,173 --> 00:07:55,257
Good afternoon, sir.

66
00:07:57,384 --> 00:07:59,011
Uh, this is
Group Captain Stagg.

67
00:07:59,094 --> 00:08:00,637
He's just transferred
from Dunstable.

68
00:08:00,721 --> 00:08:02,521
We've been very much
looking forward to his...

69
00:08:03,724 --> 00:08:04,725
Him joining us here.

70
00:08:06,727 --> 00:08:08,312
Lieutenant Kay Summersby.

71
00:08:08,395 --> 00:08:10,814
Motor Transport Corps.
Welcome to Southwick House.

72
00:08:10,898 --> 00:08:13,483
Are we sharing
an office, or what?

73
00:08:13,567 --> 00:08:16,904
No. I was just
using it temporarily.

74
00:08:16,987 --> 00:08:19,489
Good, because
I'll need it exclusively.

75
00:08:24,995 --> 00:08:27,247
Well, very good.

76
00:08:47,935 --> 00:08:50,896
Can you see to it that General
Eisenhower knows that I'm here?

77
00:08:50,979 --> 00:08:54,107
And that I apologize
for my late arrival?

78
00:08:55,108 --> 00:08:56,109
Yes, sir.

79
00:08:58,946 --> 00:08:59,947
Sir.

80
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:06,536
Right.

81
00:09:13,377 --> 00:09:15,772
Hello.
Signals Department. Switchboard speaking.

82
00:09:15,796 --> 00:09:18,840
Yes, um, Richmond
1-9-3-7, please.

83
00:09:18,924 --> 00:09:21,510
I'm sorry, but
all outgoing calls are forbidden

84
00:09:21,593 --> 00:09:23,428
without prior
authorization, sir.

85
00:09:24,429 --> 00:09:26,890
Uh, no, no,
I need to speak with my wife.

86
00:09:27,474 --> 00:09:29,851
I'm sorry,
sir.

87
00:09:29,935 --> 00:09:31,353
Hello?

88
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:33,146
Yes? Hello?

89
00:09:39,403 --> 00:09:41,363
If you'd like
to follow me, please,

90
00:09:41,446 --> 00:09:43,156
General Eisenhower
will see you now.

91
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,560
I wouldn't keep him waiting
any longer than you already have.

92
00:10:06,930 --> 00:10:08,724
Group Captain
Dr. James Stagg,

93
00:10:08,807 --> 00:10:11,601
here at the express request
of General Eisenhower.

94
00:10:19,693 --> 00:10:22,529
And all 265 vessels
arrived without issue, sir.

95
00:10:22,612 --> 00:10:24,740
And we've assigned,
uh, five patrol craft

96
00:10:24,823 --> 00:10:26,491
and three destroyers.

97
00:10:26,575 --> 00:10:28,201
Let's
get the job done.

98
00:10:28,285 --> 00:10:29,828
Glad to hear it.

99
00:10:29,911 --> 00:10:31,038
Lieutenant Summersby?

100
00:10:31,121 --> 00:10:33,623
Sir, may I introduce
Group Captain James Stagg,

101
00:10:33,707 --> 00:10:35,667
who finally made it in
from London!

102
00:10:35,751 --> 00:10:37,671
Well, it's good to meet
you, Group Captain Stagg.

103
00:10:37,711 --> 00:10:38,712
Welcome aboard.

104
00:10:38,795 --> 00:10:41,798
Nice to finally put
a face to the name.

105
00:10:42,716 --> 00:10:45,260
Have you got all the, uh,
equipment you need downstairs?

106
00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:46,887
Equipment is not
the problem, sir.

107
00:10:46,970 --> 00:10:48,221
What's the problem?

108
00:10:48,305 --> 00:10:50,807
Um, well, it's time, sir.
I haven't really had any...

109
00:10:50,891 --> 00:10:53,143
Any time to establish
any clear picture.

110
00:10:53,226 --> 00:10:54,853
Have a look, Group Captain.

111
00:10:54,936 --> 00:10:57,773
I got 7,000 naval vessels,

112
00:10:57,856 --> 00:10:59,649
130,000 ground troops,

113
00:10:59,733 --> 00:11:02,944
200,000 naval personnel,
fifteen hospital ships,

114
00:11:03,028 --> 00:11:05,530
8,000 doctors,
three airborne divisions

115
00:11:05,614 --> 00:11:07,115
and a partridge
in a pear tree.

116
00:11:09,826 --> 00:11:13,747
Largest seaborne
invasion force in history.

117
00:11:14,748 --> 00:11:15,749
Is it?

118
00:11:19,044 --> 00:11:21,505
And do we have a date yet
for the invasion, sir?

119
00:11:22,923 --> 00:11:24,800
We invade France Monday.

120
00:11:24,883 --> 00:11:27,427
- This Monday?
- Correct.

121
00:11:27,511 --> 00:11:30,639
Monday, June 5th, 0630.

122
00:11:30,722 --> 00:11:35,769
That is D-Day, which
is in 61 hours from now.

123
00:11:38,897 --> 00:11:41,066
Fate of the war
hinges on this.

124
00:11:42,234 --> 00:11:44,861
All the pieces
of the jigsaw are in place.

125
00:11:44,945 --> 00:11:47,280
There's only one
imponderable that remains.

126
00:11:48,657 --> 00:11:49,991
I need a forecast.

127
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,122
I'm... Yes, I'm concerned
that what you're asking me is

128
00:11:55,205 --> 00:11:57,624
scientifically
impossible, sir.

129
00:11:57,707 --> 00:12:00,961
Uh, long-term forecasting is really
only ever educated guesswork.

130
00:12:01,044 --> 00:12:03,797
Monday is not long-term,
for Christ's sake.

131
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,341
Does Monday sound like long-term
to you, Lieutenant Summersby?

132
00:12:06,425 --> 00:12:07,843
No, it certainly
does not, sir.

133
00:12:07,926 --> 00:12:09,970
Well, this is
Northern Europe, sir.

134
00:12:10,053 --> 00:12:13,432
Anything over 24 hours is...
is... is considered long-term,

135
00:12:13,515 --> 00:12:15,058
meteorologically
speaking.

136
00:12:18,270 --> 00:12:19,312
But I'll...

137
00:12:21,022 --> 00:12:22,023
I'll do my best.

138
00:12:22,107 --> 00:12:23,525
I don't want your best.

139
00:12:23,608 --> 00:12:25,318
I already expect that.

140
00:12:25,402 --> 00:12:27,070
I need certainty.

141
00:12:27,154 --> 00:12:29,257
Churchill tells me you're the
best meteorologist in the country,

142
00:12:29,281 --> 00:12:32,159
and that I should rely on you
over Colonel Krick.

143
00:12:32,242 --> 00:12:33,785
You know him?

144
00:12:33,869 --> 00:12:35,036
Only by reputation.

145
00:12:35,745 --> 00:12:37,289
Well, Krick's been
with me since '42.

146
00:12:37,372 --> 00:12:39,833
He's never steered
me wrong, so...

147
00:12:39,916 --> 00:12:41,585
let's see how
you measure up.

148
00:12:43,628 --> 00:12:44,730
I need a forecast
for Monday.

149
00:12:44,754 --> 00:12:46,274
I need it first thing
tomorrow morning.

150
00:12:47,132 --> 00:12:48,175
Y... Yes, sir.

151
00:12:49,468 --> 00:12:50,802
Don't let me down.

152
00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:55,640
Group Captain.

153
00:12:55,724 --> 00:12:57,767
Let's go.

154
00:13:00,645 --> 00:13:02,022
Group Captain.

155
00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:10,131
He had a boogie
style that no one else could play

156
00:13:10,155 --> 00:13:12,949
He was the top man
at his craft

157
00:13:13,033 --> 00:13:15,494
But then his number came up
And he was gone with the draft

158
00:13:15,577 --> 00:13:18,205
He's in the Army now
a-blowing reveille

159
00:13:18,288 --> 00:13:20,624
He's the boogie-woogie
bugle boy of Company B

160
00:13:20,707 --> 00:13:23,418
They made him blow a bugle
for his Uncle Sam

161
00:13:23,502 --> 00:13:25,462
It really brought him down
because he couldn't jam

162
00:13:25,545 --> 00:13:28,256
The captain seemed
to understand

163
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:30,109
Because the next day the
cap went out And drafted a band

164
00:13:30,133 --> 00:13:31,134
Kay!

165
00:13:31,218 --> 00:13:32,344
And now
the company jumps...

166
00:13:32,427 --> 00:13:34,471
Ladies and gentlemen,
Kay Summersby. Take over.

167
00:13:34,554 --> 00:13:36,431
- Come on, Kay.
- Oh.

168
00:13:36,515 --> 00:13:38,391
Dance with me.

169
00:13:38,475 --> 00:13:40,101
Like old times.

170
00:13:43,355 --> 00:13:44,356
There you go.

171
00:13:45,398 --> 00:13:47,817
There you go.

172
00:13:49,736 --> 00:13:52,197
Oh, stick
to piano, Irv.

173
00:13:55,283 --> 00:13:58,912
I... I don't believe you've
met, uh, Group Captain Stagg.

174
00:14:00,747 --> 00:14:02,749
Only by telephone.

175
00:14:02,832 --> 00:14:05,418
Dr. Stagg, so nice
to finally meet you.

176
00:14:05,502 --> 00:14:06,878
You're younger
than I imagined.

177
00:14:06,962 --> 00:14:08,505
You're shorter
than I imagined.

178
00:14:13,009 --> 00:14:14,010
Analogs.

179
00:14:16,263 --> 00:14:17,847
I realize that, yes.

180
00:14:18,515 --> 00:14:20,100
Every single
weather chart

181
00:14:20,183 --> 00:14:22,852
for Northern Europe
since 1900.

182
00:14:22,936 --> 00:14:24,688
Mmm. Um, in my
experience,

183
00:14:24,771 --> 00:14:28,316
the weather never
replicates its own history.

184
00:14:28,858 --> 00:14:31,653
Ah, well, try telling that
to a movie producer.

185
00:14:31,736 --> 00:14:32,988
Remember Selznick, Kay?

186
00:14:33,071 --> 00:14:34,114
Oh.

187
00:14:34,197 --> 00:14:35,699
July '39.

188
00:14:35,782 --> 00:14:37,701
David Selznick
calls me up.

189
00:14:37,784 --> 00:14:39,911
He's making a movie.
He wants a forecast

190
00:14:39,995 --> 00:14:42,330
for a three-day period
in Beverly Hills.

191
00:14:42,414 --> 00:14:44,499
The scene is...

192
00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:45,709
The burning of Atlanta.

193
00:14:46,543 --> 00:14:48,104
"I
don't want to see a drop of rain, Irv.

194
00:14:48,128 --> 00:14:50,130
"Not a drop. Not a drop."

195
00:14:50,213 --> 00:14:52,733
Well, MGM
calls me up. They give me the dates.

196
00:14:52,757 --> 00:14:54,092
I give 'em the forecast.

197
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:56,261
Beautiful weather.

198
00:14:56,344 --> 00:14:58,263
I mean, just gorgeous.

199
00:14:58,346 --> 00:14:59,889
Not a cloud in the sky.

200
00:14:59,973 --> 00:15:01,725
Movie's a hit.
I get to meet Clark Gable.

201
00:15:01,808 --> 00:15:03,968
Little picture... I... I don't
know if you heard of it.

202
00:15:04,686 --> 00:15:06,688
Called Gone with the Wind.

203
00:15:06,771 --> 00:15:08,315
You seen it, Stagg?
No.

204
00:15:08,398 --> 00:15:10,233
No? That...

205
00:15:11,234 --> 00:15:13,236
That's crazy. Who hasn't
seen Gone with the Wind?

206
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,738
Me. I haven't seen it.

207
00:15:14,821 --> 00:15:16,581
Well, you must. I mean,
it's a great picture.

208
00:15:16,656 --> 00:15:18,366
It's great.
I saw it with Ike.

209
00:15:18,450 --> 00:15:20,952
Kay drove us...
to the London premiere.

210
00:15:21,036 --> 00:15:22,495
This is true.
Great night.

211
00:15:22,579 --> 00:15:24,372
So, did you meet
Vivien Leigh?

212
00:15:24,456 --> 00:15:25,832
Oh, we sure did.

213
00:15:25,915 --> 00:15:27,751
What was she like?
What was she like?

214
00:15:27,834 --> 00:15:29,502
Uh, she was cute.

215
00:15:29,586 --> 00:15:31,212
The Allied High Command
has requested

216
00:15:31,296 --> 00:15:33,173
our forecast
by 1:00 p.m. tomorrow.

217
00:15:34,299 --> 00:15:36,926
Time and date of
the invasion to France

218
00:15:38,219 --> 00:15:39,679
has been confirmed
for Monday.

219
00:15:39,763 --> 00:15:41,431
Monday. Monday.

220
00:15:45,352 --> 00:15:47,937
June 5th, 6:30 a.m.,
so can we start, please?

221
00:15:48,021 --> 00:15:49,272
Get rid of the piano.
Thank you.

222
00:15:53,068 --> 00:15:54,694
Is it bothering you,
Dr. Stagg?

223
00:15:54,778 --> 00:15:57,072
It's inappropriate.

224
00:16:00,950 --> 00:16:03,745
Call this extension
if you need to speak

225
00:16:03,828 --> 00:16:06,039
to General Eisenhower
anytime, day or night.

226
00:16:06,122 --> 00:16:08,541
Is this
his direct line?

227
00:16:08,625 --> 00:16:10,043
Oh, no.
It's a direct line to me.

228
00:16:10,794 --> 00:16:12,837
I handle all communication
with the general.

229
00:16:22,889 --> 00:16:24,432
Can I have your
attention, please?

230
00:16:26,893 --> 00:16:28,895
Bryant, can you put
the phone down, please?

231
00:16:28,978 --> 00:16:30,480
Yeah, no, no.
Go ahead. Yeah.

232
00:16:30,563 --> 00:16:31,815
Is that his name?
Bryant?

233
00:16:32,607 --> 00:16:33,650
Okay, go ahead.

234
00:16:45,161 --> 00:16:47,372
I needn't, I hope,
have to stress to you

235
00:16:47,455 --> 00:16:50,166
how crucial this forecast is,
but I do want to stress

236
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:52,794
one thing to you all
and one thing only...

237
00:16:53,461 --> 00:16:54,963
Get me the data.

238
00:16:55,046 --> 00:16:56,089
That's what counts.

239
00:16:56,172 --> 00:16:58,842
Get me the latest readings
from every single base

240
00:16:58,925 --> 00:17:01,344
within 2,000 miles
of Normandy.

241
00:17:01,428 --> 00:17:03,596
That's Paris,
Galway, Reykjavík,

242
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,766
Boston, Washington, Lisbon...

243
00:17:07,684 --> 00:17:09,060
New York,
Newfoundland.

244
00:17:10,103 --> 00:17:11,104
You get the idea.

245
00:17:11,187 --> 00:17:13,189
Get me the data
from every Met station,

246
00:17:13,273 --> 00:17:15,358
every weather balloon,
every reconnaissance flight.

247
00:17:15,442 --> 00:17:17,610
That's upper air,
that's surface air,

248
00:17:17,694 --> 00:17:19,505
that's radar soundings,
that's sea temperature,

249
00:17:19,529 --> 00:17:20,864
that's salinity.
Everything.

250
00:17:20,947 --> 00:17:22,699
If we've measured it,
then I want it.

251
00:17:27,454 --> 00:17:28,538
That room there...

252
00:17:29,914 --> 00:17:31,040
that's where I'll be.

253
00:17:31,958 --> 00:17:33,209
Get me the data.

254
00:17:35,044 --> 00:17:36,212
That's what counts.

255
00:17:54,939 --> 00:17:57,233
OFFICER 1:700 millibars.

256
00:17:57,317 --> 00:17:59,819
210.28.

257
00:17:59,903 --> 00:18:01,696
650 millibars.

258
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:03,740
Plus 19.

259
00:18:04,991 --> 00:18:06,826
Observations
coming in from Spain.

260
00:18:06,910 --> 00:18:08,536
Sea surface temp, 18 degrees.

261
00:18:08,620 --> 00:18:12,248
Ten-tenths stratocumulus
and altocumulus now rising in zero-two.

262
00:18:12,332 --> 00:18:15,293
1-0-1-5 millibars.

263
00:18:17,587 --> 00:18:19,023
Northwest wind, force five.

264
00:18:19,047 --> 00:18:20,087
6-0-0 millibars.

265
00:18:20,131 --> 00:18:23,176
Wind southwest, force four.

266
00:18:23,259 --> 00:18:26,179
South Iceland seven-tenths,
30,000 feet. Southeast, force six.

267
00:18:29,265 --> 00:18:31,184
1-0-1-8 millibars.

268
00:18:31,267 --> 00:18:32,495
Say that again, please.
Repeat that.

269
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:34,163
Are you getting the I
front temp? No, I have...

270
00:18:36,314 --> 00:18:40,944
Seven-tenths,
stratocumulus, plus 3,000 feet, force six.

271
00:18:41,027 --> 00:18:42,111
Southwesterly, force six.

272
00:18:42,195 --> 00:18:44,315
We're still waiting
on the Greenland data, sir.

273
00:18:46,157 --> 00:18:47,760
Just... Just leave that.
Just leave that be.

274
00:18:47,784 --> 00:18:48,928
What speed
is L3 moving at?

275
00:18:48,952 --> 00:18:50,537
Twenty-five knots.

276
00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:53,122
Finished with that?

277
00:18:53,206 --> 00:18:56,543
Ten Stratocu 3,000 feet,
southeast, force four.

278
00:18:57,544 --> 00:18:59,754
1-0-1-3 millibars.

279
00:18:59,838 --> 00:19:01,297
Radar soundings from 0930.

280
00:19:02,632 --> 00:19:04,467
There's been no movement
from the main course.

281
00:19:05,093 --> 00:19:07,136
Sir, the weather
conditions in Normandy.

282
00:19:08,513 --> 00:19:10,324
These are from
yesterday's 12 o'clock, sir.

283
00:19:10,348 --> 00:19:11,558
Humidity reports.

284
00:19:11,641 --> 00:19:13,601
And we have those
folders you requested...

285
00:19:15,728 --> 00:19:17,272
There's nothing there.

286
00:19:21,651 --> 00:19:24,237
Carter. It's done.

287
00:19:26,364 --> 00:19:27,824
Good man.

288
00:19:38,376 --> 00:19:39,544
Sir.

289
00:19:42,422 --> 00:19:44,299
The latest
completed maps.

290
00:20:06,946 --> 00:20:09,574
Oh, come on.
Look at the analogs.

291
00:20:09,657 --> 00:20:11,784
It's as plain as day,
calm, sunny weather.

292
00:20:11,868 --> 00:20:13,661
Those analogs prove
absolutely nothing.

293
00:20:13,745 --> 00:20:15,246
How can you say that?
It's right here.

294
00:20:15,330 --> 00:20:16,456
Are you blind?

295
00:20:16,539 --> 00:20:17,790
Look at it.

296
00:20:17,874 --> 00:20:19,042
I don't need
to look at it.

297
00:20:19,125 --> 00:20:20,335
The chart is 19 years old.

298
00:20:20,418 --> 00:20:23,546
Fine, that's...
that's forty years old,

299
00:20:23,630 --> 00:20:27,800
twenty-seven years,
uh, 15 years old.

300
00:20:27,884 --> 00:20:30,762
That's... That's the point,
patterns over time.

301
00:20:31,554 --> 00:20:33,389
Okay. Thank you.

302
00:20:33,473 --> 00:20:35,558
I think what we need
to do is establish

303
00:20:36,434 --> 00:20:39,103
what we already know today,
here and now.

304
00:20:39,187 --> 00:20:43,066
Um, we have
two aggressive storms

305
00:20:43,149 --> 00:20:45,401
stretching themselves
across the Atlantic

306
00:20:45,485 --> 00:20:47,236
from Newfoundland
to Normandy.

307
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,863
Agreed.

308
00:20:48,947 --> 00:20:51,866
There is an area of high
pressure above the Azores.

309
00:20:51,950 --> 00:20:53,242
That's what
interests me.

310
00:20:53,326 --> 00:20:55,078
But it's moving
lethargically and...

311
00:20:55,161 --> 00:20:56,245
Your word,
not mine.

312
00:20:56,329 --> 00:20:58,581
I'm sorry, would you
like the floor again?

313
00:20:58,665 --> 00:21:01,000
Me? No, it's your floor.
Go ahead.

314
00:21:03,836 --> 00:21:07,298
We can't just base the
forecast on surface air

315
00:21:07,382 --> 00:21:09,759
and, uh, analog charts.

316
00:21:09,842 --> 00:21:11,970
We must also consider
the jet stream, which...

317
00:21:12,053 --> 00:21:13,054
The jet stream?

318
00:21:13,137 --> 00:21:16,265
Yes, the jet stream currently
hurtling its way towards Europe

319
00:21:16,349 --> 00:21:17,789
and dragging both
the storms with it,

320
00:21:17,850 --> 00:21:20,061
likely spawning a third
storm. That jet stream.

321
00:21:20,853 --> 00:21:21,896
Okay.

322
00:21:24,691 --> 00:21:27,318
Which will inevitably
mean stormier conditions

323
00:21:27,402 --> 00:21:28,444
over the next
few days,

324
00:21:28,528 --> 00:21:30,446
tomorrow, Sunday,
into Monday.

325
00:21:30,530 --> 00:21:33,700
Disastrous conditions
for an invasion.

326
00:21:33,783 --> 00:21:35,576
Okay, thank you
so much, Dr. Stagg.

327
00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:39,622
Now, this is a chart
for June 2nd, 1925.

328
00:21:39,706 --> 00:21:41,457
Nearly identical
conditions to today.

329
00:21:41,541 --> 00:21:43,126
Same depressions
in the Atlantic,

330
00:21:43,209 --> 00:21:45,128
same high pressures
over the Azores.

331
00:21:45,211 --> 00:21:46,212
Move ahead.

332
00:21:46,295 --> 00:21:50,842
Three days to June 5th,
1925, D-Day if you will.

333
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:54,470
Calm. Sunny weather.

334
00:21:55,513 --> 00:21:58,224
1925 is entirely irrelevant
to what we're talking about.

335
00:21:58,307 --> 00:22:03,229
I could've just as easily
picked June 2nd, 1904, or 1929.

336
00:22:03,312 --> 00:22:05,189
You know as well as I do

337
00:22:05,273 --> 00:22:08,860
that atmospheric conditions
can never be identical ever.

338
00:22:08,943 --> 00:22:12,405
What I do know is who
nailed the forecast at Alamein

339
00:22:12,488 --> 00:22:13,716
for the Western
Desert campaign,

340
00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:16,492
for the Tunisian campaign,
for Operation Torch.

341
00:22:17,368 --> 00:22:19,954
I know who got it right
every goddamn time in Cairo.

342
00:22:20,038 --> 00:22:23,374
In Tripoli, Algiers,
Oran, Casablanca.

343
00:22:24,709 --> 00:22:25,710
Do you know?

344
00:22:26,461 --> 00:22:27,462
You?

345
00:22:28,671 --> 00:22:30,465
Yeah. Me.

346
00:22:31,883 --> 00:22:34,135
This isn't Casablanca,
Colonel Krick.

347
00:22:34,218 --> 00:22:35,511
This is Northern Europe.

348
00:22:35,595 --> 00:22:38,556
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.

349
00:22:38,639 --> 00:22:41,476
When the atmospheric
conditions are a match,

350
00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:44,145
the weather
follows suit.

351
00:22:46,898 --> 00:22:48,232
Mark my words.

352
00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:50,860
D-Day will be
calm and sunny.

353
00:22:52,278 --> 00:22:53,446
Nighty night,
gentlemen.

354
00:22:55,323 --> 00:22:56,324
Nobody move.

355
00:23:01,037 --> 00:23:02,330
Back to work.

356
00:23:08,961 --> 00:23:10,379
What do you make of Stagg?

357
00:23:12,048 --> 00:23:13,257
Hmm.

358
00:23:14,425 --> 00:23:15,593
Scottish.

359
00:23:17,136 --> 00:23:18,846
Churchill says
he's a genius.

360
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:20,014
Hmm.

361
00:23:21,390 --> 00:23:22,600
Yeah, well...

362
00:23:23,392 --> 00:23:25,394
men are too fond
of that word.

363
00:23:40,243 --> 00:23:42,745
Three-tenths Cu and Stratocu

364
00:23:42,829 --> 00:23:45,540
at 2,000 feet, cloud
extending to West Wales.

365
00:23:56,509 --> 00:24:00,763
Inflatable Shermans,
Spitfires, Long Toms

366
00:24:00,847 --> 00:24:02,306
and troop carriers.

367
00:24:02,890 --> 00:24:04,892
Just rubber and air,
gentlemen.

368
00:24:06,144 --> 00:24:07,937
But to a Nazi
reconnaissance plane,

369
00:24:08,020 --> 00:24:10,940
utterly indistinguishable
from the real thing.

370
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,985
In North Africa,
I proved this time and again

371
00:24:14,068 --> 00:24:17,613
with victory after victory
after victory.

372
00:24:18,239 --> 00:24:20,825
Of course, it's not just about
crushing the enemy, gentlemen.

373
00:24:21,450 --> 00:24:23,035
It's about
deceiving him, too,

374
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,704
and deceive him
we will.

375
00:24:25,496 --> 00:24:28,958
We've conjured up phantom
armies across all of East Anglia,

376
00:24:29,041 --> 00:24:31,669
thousands of
fake supply depots,

377
00:24:31,752 --> 00:24:34,755
false radio transmissions,
empty tents

378
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:36,465
and decoy campfires.

379
00:24:38,968 --> 00:24:40,136
On D-Day,

380
00:24:41,470 --> 00:24:44,098
dummy paratroopers
weighted with sand

381
00:24:44,182 --> 00:24:48,978
will be dropped 15 to 20 miles
inland from the Normandy coast.

382
00:24:49,854 --> 00:24:51,480
They explode on impact.

383
00:24:54,025 --> 00:24:55,484
Only the chute remains.

384
00:24:56,736 --> 00:24:59,322
With any luck, the enemy will
think our boys are running wild

385
00:24:59,405 --> 00:25:01,032
through the French interior,

386
00:25:01,115 --> 00:25:04,744
drawing great chunks of their
forces right away from the beaches.

387
00:25:06,037 --> 00:25:09,290
It's a little small,
don't you think, Monty?

388
00:25:09,916 --> 00:25:11,334
Small?

389
00:25:11,417 --> 00:25:13,044
It's a joke, Monty.

390
00:25:16,422 --> 00:25:17,423
Yes.

391
00:25:17,506 --> 00:25:21,135
What's small
is our window.

392
00:25:21,219 --> 00:25:24,722
The 12th SS Panzer
is already near Caen.

393
00:25:24,805 --> 00:25:28,768
The 352nd Infantry Division
are heavily entrenched.

394
00:25:29,894 --> 00:25:33,064
If we delay beyond Monday,

395
00:25:33,898 --> 00:25:36,317
they will see
right through all of this.

396
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,361
Everything that
we have done,

397
00:25:38,444 --> 00:25:42,114
all our meticulous efforts,
will be for naught.

398
00:25:46,994 --> 00:25:49,247
He's doubled his defenses
in as many weeks.

399
00:25:50,414 --> 00:25:53,668
Every passing hour makes
our task more perilous.

400
00:25:54,794 --> 00:25:56,379
Ideally, we bring
D-Day forward.

401
00:25:59,882 --> 00:26:01,008
Can't be done.

402
00:26:01,092 --> 00:26:02,593
We are two days out.

403
00:26:05,137 --> 00:26:07,056
The more prepared
the enemy,

404
00:26:07,682 --> 00:26:09,684
the more ruthless
I must become.

405
00:26:10,434 --> 00:26:11,560
Though it's not
my wish,

406
00:26:11,644 --> 00:26:13,062
if it means getting
more men ashore,

407
00:26:13,145 --> 00:26:14,730
I may have to sacrifice

408
00:26:14,814 --> 00:26:17,066
every last member
of my advance brigade.

409
00:26:17,149 --> 00:26:18,749
Well, if I didn't
know you better, Monty,

410
00:26:18,776 --> 00:26:20,569
I would've thought
you enjoyed saying that.

411
00:26:20,653 --> 00:26:21,904
Yes.

412
00:26:21,988 --> 00:26:23,628
But then again,
I've actually been to war.

413
00:26:26,575 --> 00:26:28,911
Be that as it may,
you're the boss.

414
00:26:28,995 --> 00:26:30,413
I am.

415
00:26:31,247 --> 00:26:34,333
And the final decision on the
timing of D-Day will be mine...

416
00:26:35,167 --> 00:26:36,711
and mine alone.

417
00:26:41,841 --> 00:26:42,842
Pray for good weather.

418
00:26:42,925 --> 00:26:44,427
The weather
is irrelevant.

419
00:26:45,052 --> 00:26:46,595
We must go,
whatever the weather.

420
00:27:04,864 --> 00:27:06,782
George said that
she came over to him.

421
00:27:06,866 --> 00:27:09,035
She came over
to him, right?

422
00:27:23,924 --> 00:27:25,384
Ah.

423
00:27:25,468 --> 00:27:27,636
Thought I'd pop in
and identify myself.

424
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,971
Bernard Montgomery.

425
00:27:30,181 --> 00:27:31,932
Oh, yes.

426
00:27:33,059 --> 00:27:35,478
Hello.
Uh, James Stagg.

427
00:27:36,562 --> 00:27:38,105
All looking good
for Monday?

428
00:27:38,731 --> 00:27:39,982
Um, no.

429
00:27:40,066 --> 00:27:41,359
No, no, no.

430
00:27:41,442 --> 00:27:42,818
Can't say
that we are, sir.

431
00:27:44,236 --> 00:27:45,988
Well, can't be
that bad, surely.

432
00:27:46,697 --> 00:27:48,407
Well, you know
this country, sir.

433
00:27:49,116 --> 00:27:50,826
Looks can be deceiving.

434
00:27:52,953 --> 00:27:55,122
Do not sow doubt,
Group Captain.

435
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,250
Battles are lost when
doubt enters the mind.

436
00:27:59,418 --> 00:28:01,754
We'll cross the Channel
on Monday. That is definite.

437
00:28:04,882 --> 00:28:07,635
If D-Day is canceled,
we will lose this war.

438
00:28:08,928 --> 00:28:10,513
Do you want to be
personally responsible

439
00:28:10,596 --> 00:28:12,598
for losing this war,
Group Captain Stagg?

440
00:28:13,891 --> 00:28:15,017
No, sir.

441
00:28:31,242 --> 00:28:32,618
Christ's sake.

442
00:28:32,701 --> 00:28:33,953
Okay.

443
00:28:34,036 --> 00:28:35,329
We ready to go?

444
00:28:35,413 --> 00:28:36,580
Go where?

445
00:28:36,664 --> 00:28:37,665
To the meeting.

446
00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:40,501
And when we get
to the meeting,

447
00:28:40,584 --> 00:28:42,711
what will we be
saying exactly?

448
00:28:43,295 --> 00:28:44,755
Monday will be
calm and sunny.

449
00:28:46,465 --> 00:28:49,343
The barometer at Foynes
has been falling all morning.

450
00:28:49,427 --> 00:28:50,803
Yeah, I saw it.

451
00:28:50,886 --> 00:28:52,179
Minimal drop,
insignificant.

452
00:28:53,389 --> 00:28:54,807
I think it's significant.

453
00:28:59,019 --> 00:29:00,229
Listen, pal.

454
00:29:01,147 --> 00:29:02,982
I've been working
with Ike for three years.

455
00:29:03,649 --> 00:29:06,110
I know the guy.
Mmm-hmm. And?

456
00:29:06,193 --> 00:29:07,653
He won't want
uncertainty.

457
00:29:08,696 --> 00:29:11,198
Right. Well, then I better
attend the meeting alone.

458
00:29:13,576 --> 00:29:15,161
Are you kidding?
You can't do that.

459
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:18,998
That's not
how that works.

460
00:29:19,081 --> 00:29:20,374
Uh, you can't do that.

461
00:29:20,458 --> 00:29:24,336
The responsibility for the
D-Day forecast is mine,

462
00:29:25,421 --> 00:29:27,756
and it's not one that
I'm going to take lightly.

463
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,883
It's not yours.

464
00:29:29,592 --> 00:29:30,593
Okay? It's ours.

465
00:29:30,676 --> 00:29:32,052
Ours, jointly.

466
00:29:32,136 --> 00:29:35,556
No, no. There's one Chief
Meteorological Officer,

467
00:29:35,639 --> 00:29:36,807
and it's not you.

468
00:29:38,809 --> 00:29:40,519
You won't be attending
the meeting.

469
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:46,358
Is there anything else?

470
00:29:51,822 --> 00:29:52,823
Asshole.

471
00:29:53,657 --> 00:29:54,742
Irv.

472
00:30:05,169 --> 00:30:07,296
How much time
do I have? It's time.

473
00:30:08,506 --> 00:30:09,924
What happened
with Colonel Krick?

474
00:30:10,007 --> 00:30:11,217
Never mind Colonel Krick.

475
00:30:19,099 --> 00:30:20,809
Well, they won't
like this.

476
00:30:22,311 --> 00:30:23,729
Well, I don't
like this.

477
00:30:27,983 --> 00:30:29,985
They're waiting for you,
Group Captain Stagg.

478
00:31:06,564 --> 00:31:08,440
- Yes?
- Sir, he's here.

479
00:31:10,609 --> 00:31:11,929
Excuse me, gentlemen.

480
00:31:15,823 --> 00:31:17,157
Group Captain Stagg.

481
00:31:19,118 --> 00:31:21,495
This is General
Bernard Montgomery,

482
00:31:21,579 --> 00:31:23,747
commander in chief,
Allied land forces.

483
00:31:23,831 --> 00:31:27,209
And here we have Air
Chief Marshal Leigh-Mallory,

484
00:31:27,293 --> 00:31:30,546
commander in chief, Allied
Expeditionary Air Force.

485
00:31:31,213 --> 00:31:32,548
This is Admiral Ramsay,

486
00:31:32,631 --> 00:31:34,883
commander in chief,
Allied naval forces,

487
00:31:34,967 --> 00:31:37,553
and Lieutenant General
Omar Bradley,

488
00:31:37,636 --> 00:31:40,180
commander of
the U.S. First Army.

489
00:31:43,892 --> 00:31:45,436
Where's Colonel Krick?

490
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:47,479
He's not
attending, sir. Why not?

491
00:31:47,563 --> 00:31:49,607
Well, I believe it's
my duty to brief you all

492
00:31:49,690 --> 00:31:50,899
on the forecast
for Monday.

493
00:31:52,234 --> 00:31:53,235
He should be here.

494
00:31:53,319 --> 00:31:54,528
Shall I have
him fetched?

495
00:31:55,237 --> 00:31:56,488
My forecast
will be the same

496
00:31:56,572 --> 00:31:58,365
whether Colonel Krick
attends or not.

497
00:31:58,449 --> 00:31:59,825
All right.

498
00:31:59,908 --> 00:32:02,536
Going forward,
I want him here.

499
00:32:02,620 --> 00:32:03,746
Is that understood?

500
00:32:03,829 --> 00:32:05,914
- Certainly, sir.
- Good.

501
00:32:05,998 --> 00:32:07,041
What have you got?

502
00:32:33,025 --> 00:32:35,277
Regrettably, we are faced
with a succession

503
00:32:35,361 --> 00:32:39,198
of two aggressive storms
in the Atlantic

504
00:32:39,281 --> 00:32:42,326
of unprecedented intensity
for this time of year.

505
00:32:42,868 --> 00:32:45,245
My forecast, therefore...

506
00:32:48,082 --> 00:32:49,291
Uh, excuse me.

507
00:32:52,961 --> 00:32:54,922
My forecast, therefore,

508
00:32:55,005 --> 00:32:57,675
for Monday, June 5th,
the proposed D-Day,

509
00:32:57,758 --> 00:32:59,301
is as follows.

510
00:32:59,385 --> 00:33:02,221
Wind, west-northwest, strong,

511
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:05,683
reaching force six,
possibly force seven.

512
00:33:05,766 --> 00:33:06,975
Force seven?
Are you sure?

513
00:33:08,477 --> 00:33:10,020
No.

514
00:33:10,104 --> 00:33:11,105
It's an estimate.

515
00:33:14,650 --> 00:33:16,151
Cloud low.

516
00:33:16,902 --> 00:33:18,320
Visibility poor.

517
00:33:19,655 --> 00:33:21,365
Rain very likely.

518
00:33:22,241 --> 00:33:24,827
Waves eight to 12 feet,

519
00:33:24,910 --> 00:33:27,663
possibly with
an increase to 15 feet.

520
00:33:28,997 --> 00:33:29,998
Confidence...

521
00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:32,251
poor.

522
00:33:34,837 --> 00:33:38,507
Monday, June 5th through at
least to Tuesday, June 6th, falling...

523
00:33:40,968 --> 00:33:41,969
to very poor.

524
00:33:44,513 --> 00:33:46,223
Stagg, I...
I'm no weatherman,

525
00:33:46,306 --> 00:33:49,226
but have you looked
out a window lately?

526
00:33:49,309 --> 00:33:52,479
Well, the weather in this part of
Europe, sir, can change very rapidly.

527
00:33:52,563 --> 00:33:56,150
This poor visibility,
how poor?

528
00:33:56,734 --> 00:33:58,610
Less than a mile,
or thereabouts.

529
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:03,782
Our paratroopers
require a full moon

530
00:34:04,616 --> 00:34:06,201
to land on target.

531
00:34:06,285 --> 00:34:09,413
Spring tides are essential
for landing our watercraft.

532
00:34:09,496 --> 00:34:11,623
Do you realize,
Group Captain Stagg,

533
00:34:11,707 --> 00:34:15,085
that Monday, June 5th, is
the only date this calendar year

534
00:34:15,169 --> 00:34:17,504
upon which these conditions
perfectly coincide?

535
00:34:17,588 --> 00:34:18,881
I do realize.
Of course, sir.

536
00:34:21,008 --> 00:34:23,469
So, when exactly
do you suggest we go?

537
00:34:23,552 --> 00:34:25,304
Well, as it
relates to the weather,

538
00:34:25,387 --> 00:34:26,513
it's impossible to say.

539
00:34:27,181 --> 00:34:28,891
As to the moon
and the tides,

540
00:34:29,516 --> 00:34:32,519
the next opportunity
would be June 18th.

541
00:34:34,104 --> 00:34:36,231
Two more weeks?
Are you mad?

542
00:34:36,315 --> 00:34:39,067
We can't keep our
preparations secret for that long.

543
00:34:39,151 --> 00:34:40,194
It's just not possible.

544
00:34:40,277 --> 00:34:41,445
Of course it isn't.

545
00:34:41,528 --> 00:34:43,906
The enemy will be
ready and waiting.

546
00:34:44,698 --> 00:34:47,075
They'll slaughter every
single last one of us.

547
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:50,454
That's an extremely
pessimistic forecast.

548
00:34:51,955 --> 00:34:53,207
Are you absolutely certain?

549
00:34:53,290 --> 00:34:54,291
No.

550
00:34:55,125 --> 00:34:56,335
I'm not certain.

551
00:34:57,669 --> 00:34:59,630
I'm confident that
the storms will come.

552
00:35:00,589 --> 00:35:03,175
I can't be absolutely
certain as to when.

553
00:35:03,258 --> 00:35:04,635
Not good enough.

554
00:35:05,177 --> 00:35:07,221
If the storms
come tonight,

555
00:35:07,304 --> 00:35:08,823
then they may burn
themselves off by Monday.

556
00:35:08,847 --> 00:35:10,807
If they come tomorrow,
then the weather will be...

557
00:35:12,434 --> 00:35:13,435
exactly as I described.

558
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:15,354
We must go regardless.

559
00:35:18,065 --> 00:35:20,192
This moment
demands judgment

560
00:35:20,275 --> 00:35:22,861
shaped by actual
battlefield experience.

561
00:35:22,945 --> 00:35:25,364
We can't risk another
Exercise Tiger.

562
00:35:28,283 --> 00:35:32,287
My men are ready and
primed for the big match.

563
00:35:32,371 --> 00:35:35,249
Get them onto the beaches
somehow, anyhow.

564
00:35:35,332 --> 00:35:36,917
Leave the rest to me.

565
00:35:47,553 --> 00:35:48,762
Reload me, please.

566
00:35:49,721 --> 00:35:51,431
Let's go.
Let's get this done.

567
00:35:54,935 --> 00:35:55,936
Monty.

568
00:36:01,275 --> 00:36:04,236
You can think what you like, and
you can say what you like to my face,

569
00:36:05,737 --> 00:36:07,406
but don't you
ever undermine me

570
00:36:07,489 --> 00:36:08,532
in front of
the men again.

571
00:36:09,783 --> 00:36:10,951
Relax, old chap.

572
00:36:11,577 --> 00:36:14,162
It's not as if I'm telling them
anything they don't already know.

573
00:36:19,418 --> 00:36:21,253
Tiger was a training op.

574
00:36:24,464 --> 00:36:26,091
Dress rehearsal for D-Day.

575
00:36:28,886 --> 00:36:32,639
Half those boys were
fresh out of the draft.

576
00:36:35,517 --> 00:36:38,061
So I called in
live artillery to...

577
00:36:40,355 --> 00:36:41,523
toughen them up.

578
00:36:44,026 --> 00:36:47,279
Naval command was
supposed to bomb the beach

579
00:36:48,071 --> 00:36:50,240
an hour before we landed.

580
00:36:52,409 --> 00:36:57,372
There were delays, so we
had to push the start time back.

581
00:37:00,876 --> 00:37:06,048
Our radios had a different
frequency from the Brits.

582
00:37:08,467 --> 00:37:10,302
Our boys never
got the message.

583
00:37:13,180 --> 00:37:14,723
They walked right into it.

584
00:37:17,893 --> 00:37:18,936
One mistake.

585
00:37:20,896 --> 00:37:22,481
Just that one mistake.

586
00:37:29,237 --> 00:37:30,238
Ike.

587
00:37:31,573 --> 00:37:32,741
Ike, look at me.

588
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:41,375
You have to stop
doing this to yourself.

589
00:37:42,084 --> 00:37:43,502
What's done is done.

590
00:37:45,462 --> 00:37:46,822
When I close my eyes...

591
00:37:49,675 --> 00:37:51,510
all I can see is failure.

592
00:37:59,476 --> 00:38:00,662
Well, look what
the cat dragged in.

593
00:38:00,686 --> 00:38:01,728
Evening, sir.

594
00:38:02,562 --> 00:38:04,106
Evening, Irv.
You doing all right?

595
00:38:04,606 --> 00:38:06,066
Yeah. Can we talk?

596
00:38:06,149 --> 00:38:07,359
What's on your mind?

597
00:38:08,193 --> 00:38:10,112
Well, sir,
I'm not sure

598
00:38:10,195 --> 00:38:11,446
- if you're aware of...
- Ike!

599
00:38:12,739 --> 00:38:14,133
Associated Press
have just announced

600
00:38:14,157 --> 00:38:16,076
that we're landing
in France tomorrow.

601
00:38:18,453 --> 00:38:21,248
CBS, Radio Moscow,
they've already picked it up.

602
00:38:22,791 --> 00:38:24,668
Get General
McClure on this. Yep.

603
00:38:24,751 --> 00:38:26,253
I want this
cleaned up now.

604
00:38:26,336 --> 00:38:27,671
And I want names.

605
00:38:27,754 --> 00:38:29,256
Understood.

606
00:38:33,051 --> 00:38:34,428
You were saying?

607
00:38:39,307 --> 00:38:40,559
Stagg!

608
00:38:43,562 --> 00:38:45,814
Stagg!

609
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:51,361
Everyone out!

610
00:38:58,827 --> 00:39:00,037
Move!

611
00:39:03,749 --> 00:39:05,751
Close the door
behind you.

612
00:39:08,128 --> 00:39:11,465
That, uh,
forecast you gave...

613
00:39:13,383 --> 00:39:16,344
was that the view
of the British

614
00:39:17,095 --> 00:39:19,723
and the American teams?

615
00:39:19,806 --> 00:39:22,017
It was the view of the
Allied Meteorological Unit.

616
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:25,062
Don't give me
that mealymouthed crap!

617
00:39:25,145 --> 00:39:27,481
Krick told me,
he just told me,

618
00:39:27,564 --> 00:39:30,025
the weather on Monday
is gonna be fine.

619
00:39:30,108 --> 00:39:32,444
Just fine.
Sunny and beautiful!

620
00:39:34,279 --> 00:39:36,782
Well, Colonel Krick had no
right to speak on behalf of...

621
00:39:36,865 --> 00:39:39,409
Wrong!
Colonel Krick has every right

622
00:39:39,493 --> 00:39:43,705
to speak up if he thinks
that that will affect

623
00:39:43,789 --> 00:39:45,916
the outcome
of the invasion!

624
00:39:47,751 --> 00:39:48,960
Is that clear?

625
00:39:51,630 --> 00:39:52,672
Is it?

626
00:39:53,340 --> 00:39:54,382
Yes, sir.

627
00:39:56,218 --> 00:39:58,428
Who do you think
you are, anyway?

628
00:39:59,513 --> 00:40:00,514
Who?

629
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:05,060
Ordering my man
to stand down?

630
00:40:05,811 --> 00:40:09,773
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?

631
00:40:13,527 --> 00:40:15,320
May I respond, sir?

632
00:40:16,822 --> 00:40:17,948
I'm all ears.

633
00:40:21,368 --> 00:40:24,079
As Chief
Meteorological Officer,

634
00:40:25,163 --> 00:40:26,998
I take full responsibility

635
00:40:27,082 --> 00:40:29,209
for the recommendation
made at the meeting.

636
00:40:32,087 --> 00:40:35,674
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed

637
00:40:36,424 --> 00:40:39,427
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler

638
00:40:40,554 --> 00:40:42,097
if I spoke alone.

639
00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:48,103
Krick's forecasts have
saved thousands of lives.

640
00:40:48,895 --> 00:40:52,440
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?

641
00:40:55,944 --> 00:40:57,445
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.

642
00:40:58,155 --> 00:40:59,281
Good.

643
00:41:00,615 --> 00:41:01,867
I like luck.

644
00:41:02,951 --> 00:41:04,369
Why was he lucky?

645
00:41:05,579 --> 00:41:07,706
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked

646
00:41:07,789 --> 00:41:11,376
with forecasting
stable weather systems.

647
00:41:12,794 --> 00:41:14,129
When patterns
are predictable,

648
00:41:14,212 --> 00:41:16,047
then yes, of course,

649
00:41:16,131 --> 00:41:18,341
analog charts
can be useful.

650
00:41:18,425 --> 00:41:21,469
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.

651
00:41:21,553 --> 00:41:23,805
Not once.
Well, of course he didn't.

652
00:41:23,889 --> 00:41:25,432
He was safe
as houses there.

653
00:41:27,058 --> 00:41:28,560
The conditions here, sir...

654
00:41:29,978 --> 00:41:31,146
they're not comparable.

655
00:41:31,897 --> 00:41:33,273
Look at the charts, sir.

656
00:41:38,278 --> 00:41:40,614
Here, there are two,
not one but two

657
00:41:40,697 --> 00:41:43,742
major storms advancing
towards the Normandy coast

658
00:41:43,825 --> 00:41:45,285
even as we speak.

659
00:41:45,368 --> 00:41:47,162
That's nowhere
near France.

660
00:41:48,038 --> 00:41:49,039
No, sir.

661
00:41:50,874 --> 00:41:52,167
Not yet.

662
00:41:58,965 --> 00:42:01,509
I want a forecast the
two of you agree on.

663
00:42:03,178 --> 00:42:04,179
Clear?

664
00:42:05,138 --> 00:42:06,306
Yes, sir.

665
00:42:10,060 --> 00:42:12,103
OPW confirmed
full retraction.

666
00:42:12,187 --> 00:42:13,605
Thank you.

667
00:42:13,688 --> 00:42:15,273
Not at all, sir.

668
00:42:29,412 --> 00:42:31,623
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.

669
00:42:32,749 --> 00:42:35,877
Someone downstairs must
have leaked it, I'm afraid.

670
00:42:37,712 --> 00:42:38,713
Okay.

671
00:42:39,839 --> 00:42:41,591
He gets like
that sometimes.

672
00:42:42,509 --> 00:42:44,010
Just let it
wash over you.

673
00:42:44,094 --> 00:42:45,494
He won't even
remember what he said.

674
00:42:46,846 --> 00:42:48,181
That how you
deal with him?

675
00:42:49,266 --> 00:42:50,475
Ah, he's nothing.

676
00:42:51,268 --> 00:42:53,561
I was an ambulance driver
during the Blitz.

677
00:42:54,229 --> 00:42:55,438
There were
so many dead bodies,

678
00:42:55,522 --> 00:42:57,399
we had to use
a cinema as a morgue.

679
00:42:58,733 --> 00:43:01,945
You just grow a thick skin. Hmm.

680
00:43:05,198 --> 00:43:06,741
From ambulance driver

681
00:43:06,825 --> 00:43:08,702
to aide to the
supreme commander.

682
00:43:09,452 --> 00:43:10,578
Mmm-hmm.

683
00:43:11,496 --> 00:43:14,082
Driver, secretary,

684
00:43:14,165 --> 00:43:16,376
aide, nurse.

685
00:43:16,459 --> 00:43:17,585
Everything, really.

686
00:43:20,797 --> 00:43:23,550
We've been together
for three years now.

687
00:43:24,968 --> 00:43:29,097
I've been
to Morocco, Algeria.

688
00:43:34,644 --> 00:43:35,729
Must be exciting.

689
00:43:39,190 --> 00:43:40,900
It has its moments.

690
00:43:50,869 --> 00:43:53,330
So, these storms
you keep talking about,

691
00:43:53,413 --> 00:43:55,623
how are you so certain
that they're coming?

692
00:43:58,376 --> 00:43:59,586
I'm not certain.

693
00:44:01,171 --> 00:44:03,048
You can't be certain
about the weather.

694
00:44:04,090 --> 00:44:05,800
All we can do is
look to the evidence.

695
00:44:06,885 --> 00:44:08,303
Do you know that weathermen

696
00:44:08,386 --> 00:44:11,973
are traditionally
a little boring?

697
00:44:14,225 --> 00:44:16,853
How dare you say that?

698
00:44:19,356 --> 00:44:22,484
Weathermen, maybe, but
how can the weather be boring?

699
00:44:24,152 --> 00:44:25,362
It feeds us.

700
00:44:26,237 --> 00:44:27,322
The weather.

701
00:44:28,823 --> 00:44:30,116
Can destroy us.

702
00:44:31,159 --> 00:44:32,619
Controls our daily life.

703
00:44:35,705 --> 00:44:37,123
I don't think
that's boring.

704
00:44:42,712 --> 00:44:44,923
People ask,
"When will it rain?

705
00:44:45,006 --> 00:44:46,341
"When will the
sun come out?"

706
00:44:49,010 --> 00:44:50,595
But what about,
"Why does it rain?

707
00:44:53,139 --> 00:44:54,432
"Why does the wind blow?

708
00:44:56,518 --> 00:44:57,602
"What's the wind?"

709
00:45:02,690 --> 00:45:03,858
Excuse me.

710
00:45:04,526 --> 00:45:06,319
Yes. Stagg.

711
00:45:06,403 --> 00:45:07,862
Yes, go ahead.
Repeat that.

712
00:45:07,946 --> 00:45:09,106
Zero, zero,
one, zero, four...

713
00:45:10,532 --> 00:45:12,659
Stratocu at 2,000 feet.

714
00:45:12,742 --> 00:45:14,452
Tops at 5,000 feet.

715
00:45:27,465 --> 00:45:28,842
Good news or bad?

716
00:45:28,925 --> 00:45:30,677
We're looking
good, sir.

717
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,804
I couldn't disagree
with that more.

718
00:45:32,887 --> 00:45:34,514
We're not looking
good at all.

719
00:45:34,597 --> 00:45:36,015
You know what,
I am done

720
00:45:36,099 --> 00:45:39,727
with this Scotch pessimism
of yours, this Highland gloom.

721
00:45:39,811 --> 00:45:41,146
I'm not from
the Highlands.

722
00:45:41,229 --> 00:45:42,749
Well, your
Lowland gloom, then.

723
00:45:42,814 --> 00:45:44,983
I'm neither from the
Highlands nor the Lowlands.

724
00:45:46,526 --> 00:45:48,963
Well, wherever it is he's from,
we're in good shape for Monday, sir.

725
00:45:48,987 --> 00:45:50,029
You see this?

726
00:45:50,113 --> 00:45:52,490
This ridge of high pressure
has already moved in

727
00:45:52,574 --> 00:45:56,035
from the Azores, just as
it did on June 3rd, 1925.

728
00:45:56,119 --> 00:45:57,745
This is moronic.

729
00:45:58,580 --> 00:46:01,082
This is actually moronic.

730
00:46:01,166 --> 00:46:02,876
Oh, so I'm moronic now?

731
00:46:02,959 --> 00:46:04,311
That's great, Stagg.
That's just great.

732
00:46:04,335 --> 00:46:05,587
Just insult me
right to my face.

733
00:46:05,670 --> 00:46:08,631
I'm not insulting you. I'm just
describing you. As a moron?

734
00:46:08,715 --> 00:46:09,883
All right, enough.

735
00:46:09,966 --> 00:46:11,426
As a confident moron, yes.

736
00:46:11,509 --> 00:46:12,945
Oh, go to hell, Stagg.
You come in here,

737
00:46:12,969 --> 00:46:14,113
you think you're better
than us? Hey! All right,

738
00:46:14,137 --> 00:46:15,597
all right, all right,
that's enough.

739
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,015
Jesus Christ.

740
00:46:18,391 --> 00:46:19,934
We have three hours.

741
00:46:21,144 --> 00:46:24,272
Three hours until we take
this up with the C-in-Cs.

742
00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:27,901
Now...

743
00:46:29,903 --> 00:46:32,071
go or not go?

744
00:46:32,155 --> 00:46:33,573
Sir, what we need
to consider...

745
00:46:33,656 --> 00:46:35,617
No, no. No,
no more considering.

746
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:37,160
No.

747
00:46:37,243 --> 00:46:40,205
Go or don't go?
Go or don't go?

748
00:46:40,288 --> 00:46:41,956
That's it. Which is it?

749
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,041
We should go, sir.

750
00:46:44,250 --> 00:46:45,293
Stagg.

751
00:46:48,671 --> 00:46:51,391
I'm sorry,
we'll have to call you back. Understood.

752
00:46:52,759 --> 00:46:54,219
Uh, uh, I'm sorry, sir.
It's for you.

753
00:46:54,302 --> 00:46:55,303
Not now.

754
00:46:56,012 --> 00:46:57,555
They say
it's extremely urgent.

755
00:47:02,685 --> 00:47:03,686
Yes. Stagg.

756
00:47:03,770 --> 00:47:05,831
Sir, this is
Private Amy Haig from Signals

757
00:47:05,855 --> 00:47:08,483
relaying a message from
the Dunstable Met Office.

758
00:47:08,566 --> 00:47:10,985
Your wife was taken to the
maternity ward of St. Mary's.

759
00:47:11,069 --> 00:47:12,820
She is pregnant, yes?
Yes.

760
00:47:13,404 --> 00:47:14,572
Yes, that's correct.

761
00:47:14,656 --> 00:47:15,865
Is the baby here?

762
00:47:15,949 --> 00:47:17,075
Have I missed it?

763
00:47:17,617 --> 00:47:19,744
Well, sir,
they felt you should know,

764
00:47:19,827 --> 00:47:22,247
St. Mary's Hospital
was bombed earlier tonight.

765
00:47:22,330 --> 00:47:24,582
There have been casualties,
sir, and they're...

766
00:47:25,083 --> 00:47:26,793
They're still looking
for your wife.

767
00:47:33,883 --> 00:47:35,134
Group Captain Stagg?

768
00:47:42,725 --> 00:47:44,143
Is there any more
information?

769
00:47:44,769 --> 00:47:46,229
Not at this point, sir.

770
00:47:48,147 --> 00:47:49,691
But there's been casualties?

771
00:47:49,774 --> 00:47:50,942
Yes, sir.

772
00:47:58,992 --> 00:48:00,660
Okay. Well, um...

773
00:48:02,829 --> 00:48:04,455
Well, if you
have any more...

774
00:48:05,748 --> 00:48:07,333
information, then let
me know. Anything.

775
00:48:08,167 --> 00:48:09,335
Of course, sir.

776
00:48:13,089 --> 00:48:14,424
Thank you.

777
00:48:14,507 --> 00:48:15,550
You're welcome, sir.

778
00:48:18,970 --> 00:48:20,388
There a problem, Stagg?

779
00:48:29,814 --> 00:48:31,482
No. It's irrelevant.

780
00:48:32,233 --> 00:48:33,234
Good.

781
00:48:34,402 --> 00:48:35,987
So, can I give
the order?

782
00:48:38,865 --> 00:48:39,866
What?

783
00:48:40,908 --> 00:48:42,201
The order.

784
00:48:42,827 --> 00:48:43,911
For Monday.

785
00:48:46,247 --> 00:48:47,248
No.

786
00:48:49,459 --> 00:48:50,918
N... No?

787
00:48:51,002 --> 00:48:54,631
I mean, so you're saying
don't give the order?

788
00:48:54,714 --> 00:48:55,715
Is that it?

789
00:48:57,008 --> 00:48:58,468
Yeah, that... Yes.

790
00:49:01,012 --> 00:49:03,389
Yes. I'm saying that...
I'm saying...

791
00:49:04,682 --> 00:49:09,020
that the weather on Monday
will be extremely poor.

792
00:49:11,439 --> 00:49:13,239
Let me
tell you my problem, Stagg.

793
00:49:15,234 --> 00:49:18,112
Even I can see that

794
00:49:18,196 --> 00:49:22,742
Krick's anticyclone
is on the move,

795
00:49:22,825 --> 00:49:27,080
because it's right here
on the goddamn map.

796
00:49:29,791 --> 00:49:34,420
Now, our final meeting
is at 0400 hours,

797
00:49:34,504 --> 00:49:37,215
and that will be the
absolute last opportunity

798
00:49:37,298 --> 00:49:38,925
to change anything.

799
00:49:40,218 --> 00:49:44,263
So unless you can prove
these storms are inbound,

800
00:49:44,347 --> 00:49:45,473
we invade as planned.

801
00:49:46,808 --> 00:49:51,562
Monday, June 5th,
0630 hours.

802
00:49:52,563 --> 00:49:53,648
Yes, sir.

803
00:49:54,399 --> 00:49:55,858
Three hours,
gentlemen.

804
00:50:25,555 --> 00:50:26,755
You ready? You ready?

805
00:50:39,235 --> 00:50:41,529
Yeah!

806
00:50:50,163 --> 00:50:54,542
Oh...
Oh...

807
00:50:54,625 --> 00:50:59,297
The hi-de-ho man, that's me

808
00:50:59,380 --> 00:51:02,133
How'd you like
to blow your top?

809
00:51:03,009 --> 00:51:05,470
Dig yourself
some fine rebop?

810
00:51:05,553 --> 00:51:08,723
Hi-de-hi, he-de-he

811
00:51:08,806 --> 00:51:11,976
Oh, the hi-de-ho man
that's me

812
00:51:12,059 --> 00:51:13,478
Hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-hi

813
00:51:13,561 --> 00:51:15,229
Hi-de, hi-de
hi-de-hi

814
00:51:15,313 --> 00:51:16,731
Hey-de, hey-de, hey-de-hey

815
00:51:16,814 --> 00:51:18,483
Hey-de, hey-de, hey-de-hey

816
00:51:18,566 --> 00:51:20,401
He-de, he-de, he-de-he

817
00:51:20,485 --> 00:51:21,694
He-de, he-de, he-de-he

818
00:51:21,778 --> 00:51:23,488
Hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-hi

819
00:51:23,571 --> 00:51:24,947
Hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-hi

820
00:51:25,031 --> 00:51:26,407
Say, I hepped 'em in London

821
00:51:26,491 --> 00:51:28,326
I hepped 'em in Holland

822
00:51:28,409 --> 00:51:30,578
I hepped 'em in gay Paris

823
00:51:31,370 --> 00:51:34,499
Yes, sirree
Yes, sirree

824
00:51:34,582 --> 00:51:37,710
Oh, the hi-de-ho man
that's me

825
00:51:37,794 --> 00:51:39,754
Hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-hi

826
00:51:39,837 --> 00:51:41,172
Hi-de, hi-de-hi

827
00:51:41,255 --> 00:51:43,007
Oh-ho, de-ho-de

828
00:51:43,090 --> 00:51:44,467
Ho, de-ho-de

829
00:51:44,550 --> 00:51:46,469
Hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-hi

830
00:51:46,552 --> 00:51:48,262
Hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-hi

831
00:52:08,533 --> 00:52:10,785
The hi-de-ho man, that's me

832
00:52:34,642 --> 00:52:36,644
Dr. Stagg.

833
00:52:42,733 --> 00:52:43,860
Come with me.

834
00:52:45,069 --> 00:52:46,070
Come on.

835
00:52:47,530 --> 00:52:48,990
We need you
back there.

836
00:52:52,410 --> 00:52:53,452
Come on.

837
00:52:57,331 --> 00:52:59,000
She'll be all right.

838
00:53:00,501 --> 00:53:02,003
Yes.
Mmm-hmm.

839
00:53:06,591 --> 00:53:08,301
Anything at all.

840
00:53:08,384 --> 00:53:09,385
Yeah.

841
00:53:14,181 --> 00:53:15,683
Uh, this just
came through, sir.

842
00:53:46,631 --> 00:53:48,299
I want to say something.

843
00:53:48,382 --> 00:53:49,884
Yeah, what's that?

844
00:53:49,967 --> 00:53:52,261
I think the way you're
treating Stagg is wrong.

845
00:53:53,638 --> 00:53:54,972
I think
if you keep it up,

846
00:53:55,056 --> 00:53:57,016
he's gonna crack
and you'll lose him.

847
00:53:57,683 --> 00:53:59,060
Then I'll work
with Krick.

848
00:53:59,727 --> 00:54:02,521
You know I like Irv, but
he's... he's no match for Stagg.

849
00:54:02,605 --> 00:54:04,065
Since when are you
an expert?

850
00:54:04,148 --> 00:54:05,691
Don't talk to me
like that.

851
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:07,652
His wife is
in the hospital.

852
00:54:07,735 --> 00:54:09,320
She's pregnant.
In labor.

853
00:54:09,403 --> 00:54:11,030
Hospital's bombed, yes.

854
00:54:11,113 --> 00:54:12,657
I know. What else?

855
00:54:12,740 --> 00:54:16,535
He doesn't know if his
pregnant wife is dead or alive.

856
00:54:16,619 --> 00:54:18,079
Uh-huh. Yes.

857
00:54:18,162 --> 00:54:19,956
Let me find out.
Find out what?

858
00:54:20,039 --> 00:54:22,309
I can make it to the hospital
and back in a couple of hours.

859
00:54:22,333 --> 00:54:24,227
How are you gonna do that?
It'll give him clarity.

860
00:54:24,251 --> 00:54:25,795
No. No, I need you here.

861
00:54:25,878 --> 00:54:27,088
It's just
a couple of hours.

862
00:54:27,171 --> 00:54:28,297
No.

863
00:54:32,843 --> 00:54:34,011
Dismissed.

864
00:54:38,265 --> 00:54:39,600
Dismissed, Lieutenant.

865
00:54:52,530 --> 00:54:55,366
South Iceland,
seven-tenths Stratocu, 3,000 feet,

866
00:54:55,449 --> 00:54:57,052
southeast force six.

867
00:54:57,076 --> 00:54:58,428
ten-tenths at 1,500 feet.

868
00:55:09,463 --> 00:55:11,566
So we have warm
sector conditions over Ireland,

869
00:55:11,590 --> 00:55:13,592
and low 9-9-6 is off
the northwest of Scotland.

870
00:55:13,676 --> 00:55:14,802
It's the
secondary low.

871
00:55:14,885 --> 00:55:16,637
That's causing
a low cloud base.

872
00:55:16,721 --> 00:55:18,931
It's very high dew points in
that warm sector upstream.

873
00:55:19,015 --> 00:55:20,409
No sign of frontal
systems moving north.

874
00:55:20,433 --> 00:55:21,809
Not yet.

875
00:55:21,892 --> 00:55:23,704
They're about to start, sir.
Just a couple more minutes.

876
00:55:23,728 --> 00:55:24,812
Please.

877
00:55:24,895 --> 00:55:27,982
I have the 1300 and 1800
surface air maps. Bryant.

878
00:55:28,566 --> 00:55:29,567
It's okay.

879
00:55:33,112 --> 00:55:34,321
We don't need the charts.

880
00:55:36,824 --> 00:55:38,492
We still have
a little time, sir.

881
00:56:14,987 --> 00:56:16,822
Irving, why don't you
start us off, please?

882
00:56:17,740 --> 00:56:18,783
Yes, sir.

883
00:56:19,283 --> 00:56:20,284
Gentlemen...

884
00:56:20,868 --> 00:56:23,954
this is a chart
for June 3rd, 1925.

885
00:56:24,830 --> 00:56:26,749
You'll notice
here and here

886
00:56:26,832 --> 00:56:30,086
a temporary weakening of
pressure over the Azores,

887
00:56:30,169 --> 00:56:32,088
just as we're
seeing today.

888
00:56:32,171 --> 00:56:36,759
Now, within 24 hours, that
pressure reasserted itself,

889
00:56:36,842 --> 00:56:39,720
and it cleared the storm
threatening Northern Europe.

890
00:56:39,804 --> 00:56:41,180
As you can see...

891
00:56:42,556 --> 00:56:47,478
nearly identical patterns
occurred in 1904 and 1925,

892
00:56:47,561 --> 00:56:49,480
and I can give you
plenty of others,

893
00:56:49,563 --> 00:56:51,440
but the bottom line
is this...

894
00:56:53,025 --> 00:56:57,196
Tomorrow, Monday,
June 5th, is good to go.

895
00:57:01,700 --> 00:57:02,701
Thank you.

896
00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:10,584
Stagg?

897
00:57:12,378 --> 00:57:13,546
You've got
the floor.

898
00:57:19,718 --> 00:57:22,596
Nobody here
likes me very much.

899
00:57:23,931 --> 00:57:26,350
I realize that,
and that's all right.

900
00:57:26,433 --> 00:57:28,185
I don't expect you
to like me,

901
00:57:28,269 --> 00:57:31,522
but I do want you
to listen to me.

902
00:57:33,357 --> 00:57:36,318
Um, I could stand here
and provide you

903
00:57:36,402 --> 00:57:39,446
with yet more,
uh, data.

904
00:57:40,990 --> 00:57:43,450
The latest barometric
readings, the wind speeds,

905
00:57:43,534 --> 00:57:46,620
the new upper-air soundings
that we've collated.

906
00:57:46,704 --> 00:57:50,124
But none of it is going to
make a lick of difference, is it?

907
00:57:52,710 --> 00:57:53,711
Is it?

908
00:57:55,921 --> 00:57:58,507
Because you want
to believe that,

909
00:57:59,383 --> 00:58:01,969
what Colonel Krick's just
said, that it's going to be safe

910
00:58:03,220 --> 00:58:04,388
to land in Normandy
tomorrow,

911
00:58:04,471 --> 00:58:06,056
and so that's
what you believe.

912
00:58:06,140 --> 00:58:09,351
But everything
that he's just said

913
00:58:09,435 --> 00:58:11,520
is pure, unadulterated...

914
00:58:12,521 --> 00:58:14,315
horseshit.

915
00:58:18,611 --> 00:58:23,866
You can muster all the tanks
and soldiers and ships that you like.

916
00:58:23,949 --> 00:58:28,120
You can assemble the greatest
armada that ever there was,

917
00:58:28,204 --> 00:58:31,999
but if you invade tomorrow,
they're going to be washed away.

918
00:58:34,585 --> 00:58:38,839
Because the storms that
I'm talking about are real,

919
00:58:38,923 --> 00:58:40,841
and the jet stream
that's propelling them

920
00:58:40,925 --> 00:58:43,469
towards the Normandy
coast is real,

921
00:58:44,220 --> 00:58:46,013
and the wrath of nature...

922
00:58:50,476 --> 00:58:51,810
is real.

923
00:58:52,645 --> 00:58:54,188
And if you ignore it,

924
00:58:54,897 --> 00:58:58,734
then countless men
and countless boys...

925
00:59:08,786 --> 00:59:09,787
That's it.

926
00:59:14,917 --> 00:59:16,377
He's lost his
bloody mind.

927
00:59:19,338 --> 00:59:20,881
Why is it horseshit?

928
00:59:22,007 --> 00:59:25,678
Yes, the weather was as he
described in 1904 and 1925,

929
00:59:25,761 --> 00:59:27,596
but he fails
to mention 1916.

930
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,556
June 5th, the Battle
for Mount Sorrel.

931
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,976
Then, as now, there were
areas of high pressure

932
00:59:32,059 --> 00:59:34,561
above the Azores,
but the storms came anyway.

933
00:59:34,645 --> 00:59:36,814
Many people here
will remember that battle.

934
00:59:36,897 --> 00:59:39,275
Chaos. Absolute chaos!

935
00:59:39,817 --> 00:59:41,694
Thousands of lives lost!

936
00:59:41,777 --> 00:59:43,904
Hell on earth!
Torrential rain!

937
00:59:43,988 --> 00:59:46,573
He's selecting the data
that suits him

938
00:59:46,657 --> 00:59:49,493
and ignoring the rest,
and we must face the facts.

939
00:59:49,576 --> 00:59:50,661
The facts!

940
00:59:51,537 --> 00:59:53,330
However frightening
they may be!

941
00:59:57,001 --> 00:59:58,919
Well, if...

942
00:59:59,003 --> 01:00:01,922
if not Monday, when?

943
01:00:06,010 --> 01:00:07,094
Not before June 18th.

944
01:00:07,177 --> 01:00:10,097
Christ on a bike, he's
still talking about the 18th.

945
01:00:10,180 --> 01:00:11,807
The 18th?

946
01:00:11,890 --> 01:00:13,350
There is no 18th.

947
01:00:13,434 --> 01:00:16,353
No 18th. No 18th!

948
01:00:16,437 --> 01:00:18,355
None! None, none,
none, none, none!

949
01:00:18,439 --> 01:00:20,941
The 18th is not
an option!

950
01:00:21,025 --> 01:00:22,192
Montgomery.

951
01:00:34,872 --> 01:00:36,040
Bertie...

952
01:00:36,665 --> 01:00:41,086
what is the worst
we can tolerate?

953
01:00:42,254 --> 01:00:45,674
Waves of four to six feet
would be tolerable.

954
01:00:47,259 --> 01:00:48,677
Anything over
six feet...

955
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:50,971
impossible.

956
01:00:53,474 --> 01:00:54,475
Stagg?

957
01:00:54,558 --> 01:00:56,560
I'm estimating waves
of eight to ten feet.

958
01:01:03,984 --> 01:01:05,611
Trafford, worst case?

959
01:01:05,694 --> 01:01:07,654
Cloud base can't be lower
than a thousand feet,

960
01:01:07,738 --> 01:01:09,531
or we're flying blind.

961
01:01:10,407 --> 01:01:13,327
Cloud base will be at
least eight to ten-tenths

962
01:01:13,410 --> 01:01:14,411
below a thousand feet.

963
01:01:14,495 --> 01:01:15,579
Then don't fly.

964
01:01:15,662 --> 01:01:17,915
Ramsay, you get us ashore,
our men will handle the rest.

965
01:01:17,998 --> 01:01:20,000
Without air cover?
With or without.

966
01:01:20,084 --> 01:01:21,585
Shut up, Monty.

967
01:01:21,668 --> 01:01:23,712
We need to land
is what we need to do.

968
01:01:23,796 --> 01:01:25,881
If we don't land,
we have no fourth front,

969
01:01:25,964 --> 01:01:27,484
- and without a fourth front...
- For God's sake, Monty.

970
01:01:27,508 --> 01:01:30,344
With waves of ten feet,
we won't be landing anywhere.

971
01:01:30,427 --> 01:01:33,597
Well, then, let's just start the blasted
Kraut lessons now, then, shall we,

972
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:34,807
and all the
goose-stepping?

973
01:01:34,890 --> 01:01:36,642
And then maybe one day
years from now,

974
01:01:36,725 --> 01:01:38,685
we can all yodel about
the time that we didn't...

975
01:01:38,769 --> 01:01:40,312
Enough!

976
01:01:50,614 --> 01:01:52,157
Krick, do you have
anything to add?

977
01:01:52,241 --> 01:01:55,369
I'm telling you, sir, next
week is nothing but clear skies.

978
01:01:55,452 --> 01:01:57,496
If you choose
to postpone,

979
01:01:58,580 --> 01:02:00,624
you'll regret it for
the rest of your lives.

980
01:02:03,961 --> 01:02:05,546
I maintain my position.

981
01:02:10,551 --> 01:02:11,718
And I maintain mine.

982
01:02:18,016 --> 01:02:19,143
Then so be it.

983
01:02:20,102 --> 01:02:21,645
D-Day will be postponed.

984
01:02:36,618 --> 01:02:37,661
Ike.

985
01:02:38,245 --> 01:02:39,538
I hate to bring this up,

986
01:02:39,621 --> 01:02:41,373
but we have hundreds
of thousands of troops

987
01:02:41,457 --> 01:02:43,208
ready to deploy
down there.

988
01:02:43,292 --> 01:02:44,394
Now, they've obviously
been briefed

989
01:02:44,418 --> 01:02:45,878
as to the invasion plans.

990
01:02:45,961 --> 01:02:47,921
Yeah,
that's a lot of loose lips.

991
01:02:48,005 --> 01:02:49,256
Secure all troops.

992
01:02:49,339 --> 01:02:50,984
- I repeat, secure all troops.
- I repeat,

993
01:02:51,008 --> 01:02:52,593
all troops must be
detained at once.

994
01:02:52,676 --> 01:02:54,803
No one leaves
until further notice.

995
01:02:54,887 --> 01:02:56,597
No one leaves
until further notice.

996
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,891
I repeat, all troops
must be detained at once.

997
01:02:58,974 --> 01:03:00,374
All troops must be
detained at once.

998
01:03:00,434 --> 01:03:02,561
Secure them on board,
no exceptions.

999
01:03:31,882 --> 01:03:33,217
You did
the right thing.

1000
01:03:48,732 --> 01:03:49,733
Jesus.

1001
01:03:53,695 --> 01:03:54,821
Should've gone.

1002
01:03:55,531 --> 01:03:56,532
Ike.

1003
01:05:14,651 --> 01:05:20,490
All creatures of our God and King

1004
01:05:20,574 --> 01:05:26,079
Lift up
your voice and with us sing

1005
01:05:26,163 --> 01:05:33,128
Alleluia, alleluia

1006
01:05:33,211 --> 01:05:36,256
Thou burning sun

1007
01:05:36,340 --> 01:05:39,551
With golden beam

1008
01:05:39,635 --> 01:05:41,970
Thou silver moon

1009
01:05:42,054 --> 01:05:45,432
With softer gleam

1010
01:05:45,515 --> 01:05:51,563
O praise Him, O praise Him

1011
01:05:51,647 --> 01:05:57,694
Alleluia, alleluia

1012
01:05:57,778 --> 01:06:04,076
Alleluia

1013
01:06:05,661 --> 01:06:11,625
Thou rushing wind
that art so strong

1014
01:06:11,708 --> 01:06:17,381
Ye clouds that sail
in heaven along

1015
01:06:17,464 --> 01:06:23,428
O praise Him, O praise Him

1016
01:06:23,512 --> 01:06:29,434
Alleluia, alleluia

1017
01:06:29,518 --> 01:06:36,483
Alleluia

1018
01:06:48,870 --> 01:06:51,206
God, grant to the living

1019
01:06:52,958 --> 01:06:54,042
grace.

1020
01:06:55,085 --> 01:06:57,671
To the departed, rest.

1021
01:06:58,755 --> 01:07:00,173
To the nation,

1022
01:07:00,966 --> 01:07:03,927
peace and concord.

1023
01:07:04,678 --> 01:07:06,930
To us all, your servants,

1024
01:07:07,013 --> 01:07:09,933
the promise
of eternal life.

1025
01:07:27,325 --> 01:07:31,705
Your blessing to unite
us all in your service

1026
01:07:31,788 --> 01:07:35,917
to our God and
to this, our country.

1027
01:07:42,841 --> 01:07:45,552
Light to guide us...

1028
01:07:45,635 --> 01:07:47,804
Guide us on our way.

1029
01:07:57,063 --> 01:08:01,735
Courage to support us and
your blessing to unite us...

1030
01:08:01,818 --> 01:08:04,571
in service to you.

1031
01:08:32,849 --> 01:08:33,850
Amen.

1032
01:08:34,476 --> 01:08:36,853
Amen.

1033
01:09:43,044 --> 01:09:45,797
We can't keep the men
locked up like this, Ike.

1034
01:09:45,881 --> 01:09:47,465
Not for two more weeks.

1035
01:09:49,634 --> 01:09:51,052
Well, what do you
want me to do?

1036
01:09:52,012 --> 01:09:54,973
Furlough 300,000 men
with the playbook for D-Day?

1037
01:09:56,474 --> 01:09:58,435
We might as well
tell the Nazis ourselves.

1038
01:09:59,769 --> 01:10:01,187
It's just an observation.

1039
01:10:04,149 --> 01:10:06,109
We will find a way,
Trafford.

1040
01:10:07,110 --> 01:10:08,153
Hang in there.

1041
01:10:10,113 --> 01:10:11,114
Yes.

1042
01:10:12,616 --> 01:10:13,658
Sir.

1043
01:10:22,083 --> 01:10:24,085
So L2 and 3
have merged into one system.

1044
01:10:24,169 --> 01:10:25,545
Mmm-hmm.
And a new low

1045
01:10:25,629 --> 01:10:26,898
has intensified
east of Newfoundland.

1046
01:10:26,922 --> 01:10:28,048
Uh, sir?

1047
01:10:28,715 --> 01:10:29,716
Excuse me,
Dr. Stagg?

1048
01:10:31,676 --> 01:10:34,095
The cold front appears to
be clearing western Ireland.

1049
01:10:37,307 --> 01:10:38,558
What?

1050
01:10:38,642 --> 01:10:40,018
It's clearing, sir.

1051
01:10:43,980 --> 01:10:45,857
What's the
geostrophic gradient?

1052
01:10:46,566 --> 01:10:49,694
Uh, 40 knots north, sir.

1053
01:10:50,362 --> 01:10:51,488
So it's slowing.

1054
01:10:52,113 --> 01:10:54,342
Well, you can't be
sure, sir. We've only had one reading.

1055
01:10:54,366 --> 01:10:55,926
Where'd it come from?
Northwest Ireland.

1056
01:10:55,992 --> 01:10:58,036
Tell me specifically,
who... who recorded it?

1057
01:10:58,119 --> 01:10:59,412
What weather base?

1058
01:11:00,038 --> 01:11:02,832
A Miss Maureen
Sweeney, sir.

1059
01:11:02,916 --> 01:11:04,334
Blacksod Point.
Show me.

1060
01:11:09,089 --> 01:11:11,049
Well, call her back.
Double-check it.

1061
01:11:11,132 --> 01:11:12,550
Triple-check it.
Sir.

1062
01:11:12,634 --> 01:11:13,677
Right now, please.

1063
01:11:16,262 --> 01:11:17,847
Can you ask, uh,
Teleprinter Ops

1064
01:11:17,931 --> 01:11:19,557
to get me readings
from every base

1065
01:11:19,641 --> 01:11:21,935
within 500 miles of
Blacksod Point? Right now.

1066
01:11:22,018 --> 01:11:24,729
Can I get the latest
climate readings, please?

1067
01:11:40,286 --> 01:11:41,579
Yeah?

1068
01:11:43,289 --> 01:11:44,332
Um...

1069
01:11:47,210 --> 01:11:49,796
This just came in
from Blacksod Point.

1070
01:11:58,221 --> 01:11:59,305
Was it checked?

1071
01:11:59,389 --> 01:12:00,432
They're checking it now.

1072
01:12:01,850 --> 01:12:04,978
Could mean something,
could mean nothing.

1073
01:12:06,312 --> 01:12:09,232
Yes, but which?
What do you think?

1074
01:12:10,525 --> 01:12:12,110
Why are you asking me?

1075
01:12:12,193 --> 01:12:14,237
Look out the goddamn
window, Stagg.

1076
01:12:14,904 --> 01:12:17,073
I'm asking you because
I need your expertise.

1077
01:12:22,370 --> 01:12:23,455
Please.

1078
01:12:27,625 --> 01:12:28,918
It's the fifth
reading.

1079
01:12:41,890 --> 01:12:43,016
It is unusual.

1080
01:12:43,725 --> 01:12:45,602
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, it is.

1081
01:12:48,521 --> 01:12:49,814
It's worth looking into.

1082
01:12:51,399 --> 01:12:52,400
Good.

1083
01:12:53,109 --> 01:12:55,528
Heavy frontal cloud, west of 35.

1084
01:12:55,612 --> 01:12:57,423
Blacksod Point
barometer fell overnight,

1085
01:12:57,447 --> 01:12:59,491
then slight rise by
afternoon, front offshore.

1086
01:13:01,868 --> 01:13:04,412
1-0-1-1 millibars.

1087
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,682
Who do you got now?
Who's he speaking with?

1088
01:13:06,706 --> 01:13:07,767
I was just
asking him about...

1089
01:13:07,791 --> 01:13:09,709
So, what are you
doing now?

1090
01:13:10,919 --> 01:13:14,130
And get the result
for that one, please.

1091
01:13:14,214 --> 01:13:15,900
The low is moving in the
right direction, but...

1092
01:13:15,924 --> 01:13:17,967
It's too close.
Yeah.

1093
01:13:19,469 --> 01:13:21,179
Hamilton, when's the
next chart coming out?

1094
01:13:21,262 --> 01:13:22,555
Within the hour, sir.

1095
01:13:22,639 --> 01:13:23,908
Within the hour
is not good enough.

1096
01:13:23,932 --> 01:13:25,725
Can we get...
Can we get Dunstable...

1097
01:13:25,809 --> 01:13:27,894
A result from Dun...
Dunstable in, please, soon?

1098
01:13:27,977 --> 01:13:29,562
It should've been
with us an hour ago.

1099
01:13:29,646 --> 01:13:31,248
What's the movement
on the cold front?

1100
01:13:31,272 --> 01:13:33,066
Still 30 knots, sir.

1101
01:13:33,149 --> 01:13:35,360
Have you ever seen
a progression like this?

1102
01:13:35,443 --> 01:13:37,112
Never. Winter, maybe.

1103
01:13:38,196 --> 01:13:39,739
Never this time of year.

1104
01:13:39,823 --> 01:13:41,425
Stratocu lifting above 2,000 feet.

1105
01:13:41,449 --> 01:13:42,927
Sea surface
temperature, 15 degrees.

1106
01:13:42,951 --> 01:13:44,095
Data points up
to 400 millibars.

1107
01:13:44,119 --> 01:13:46,079
What are you
looking for?

1108
01:13:46,162 --> 01:13:47,914
A gap? Because
there's one there.

1109
01:13:48,498 --> 01:13:49,582
You call that a gap?

1110
01:13:49,666 --> 01:13:51,167
Yes, I call
that a gap.

1111
01:13:51,251 --> 01:13:52,710
That's
a very narrow gap.

1112
01:13:52,794 --> 01:13:54,420
A narrow gap is still
a gap. Thank you.

1113
01:13:54,504 --> 01:13:55,922
Do you see a gap?

1114
01:13:56,005 --> 01:13:57,399
I believe there's one
forming, sir, yes.

1115
01:13:57,423 --> 01:13:58,424
Yes, a gap.
Thank you.

1116
01:14:02,595 --> 01:14:05,807
So, if this was a normal
forecast, would you call it?

1117
01:14:05,890 --> 01:14:07,142
Yeah.

1118
01:14:07,225 --> 01:14:09,102
I don't know.
Uh, probably.

1119
01:14:10,687 --> 01:14:11,771
Yeah.

1120
01:14:13,148 --> 01:14:14,983
The only difference
is it's D-Day.

1121
01:14:17,235 --> 01:14:18,361
Big difference.

1122
01:14:22,407 --> 01:14:23,491
Call Eisenhower.

1123
01:14:43,219 --> 01:14:44,721
You wanted to see me?

1124
01:14:45,930 --> 01:14:46,931
Yes, sir.

1125
01:14:49,184 --> 01:14:51,102
There's been
a development, sir.

1126
01:14:51,186 --> 01:14:54,147
It seems the storm
at Newfoundland is slowing.

1127
01:14:54,230 --> 01:14:57,317
We believe it's enough
to provide a... a...

1128
01:14:57,901 --> 01:15:00,486
a window in the
disruptive weather.

1129
01:15:01,821 --> 01:15:02,864
Um...

1130
01:15:05,408 --> 01:15:06,534
Well, if I may,
th...

1131
01:15:06,618 --> 01:15:09,662
The cigarettes are the
Newfoundland storm,

1132
01:15:09,746 --> 01:15:11,331
the larger one of three.

1133
01:15:12,540 --> 01:15:14,292
My glasses here are
the two smaller storms.

1134
01:15:14,375 --> 01:15:17,170
Currently, the larger storm is
dragging the two smaller storms

1135
01:15:17,253 --> 01:15:19,505
away from the Normandy
coast, leaving a...

1136
01:15:20,423 --> 01:15:22,634
a gap in the
weather of sorts

1137
01:15:22,717 --> 01:15:27,013
just long enough for us to land in
Normandy on Tuesday morning.

1138
01:15:27,096 --> 01:15:28,097
Tuesday?

1139
01:15:28,723 --> 01:15:32,685
As in 26 hours
from now, Tuesday?

1140
01:15:32,769 --> 01:15:34,529
Sir, if you just look
at the latest charts...

1141
01:15:34,562 --> 01:15:36,522
I don't want to look
at your damn charts.

1142
01:15:36,606 --> 01:15:38,149
It's a bunch of
gobbledygook.

1143
01:15:38,900 --> 01:15:41,361
What I want is for you
to get down on your knees

1144
01:15:41,444 --> 01:15:42,820
and look me in
the eye and tell me,

1145
01:15:42,904 --> 01:15:45,490
"Tuesday morning, sir,
the sun's got his hat on."

1146
01:15:45,573 --> 01:15:47,450
Because in case
you haven't noticed,

1147
01:15:47,533 --> 01:15:49,619
there's a goddamn hurricane
blowing out there!

1148
01:15:49,702 --> 01:15:51,371
Technically, it's not
a hurricane, sir.

1149
01:15:54,415 --> 01:15:57,210
Sunny weather, you say stop.
Hurricane, you say go.

1150
01:15:57,293 --> 01:15:58,544
Well, no.
Well, yes, sir.

1151
01:15:58,628 --> 01:16:00,296
Yes, that's exactly
what I'm saying.

1152
01:16:03,383 --> 01:16:06,427
Send my men into...

1153
01:16:07,345 --> 01:16:09,806
into the storm?

1154
01:16:13,643 --> 01:16:14,894
Yeah.

1155
01:16:18,314 --> 01:16:20,108
They'll never see it
coming, sir, never.

1156
01:16:20,191 --> 01:16:22,151
A gap like this
in the storm, never.

1157
01:16:37,834 --> 01:16:39,335
You're absolutely
sure of that?

1158
01:16:43,798 --> 01:16:47,677
Are you absolutely sure about
that, Group Captain Stagg?

1159
01:16:50,263 --> 01:16:51,556
I'm sure there'll be a gap.

1160
01:16:53,308 --> 01:16:54,600
The weather
won't be perfect...

1161
01:16:56,060 --> 01:16:57,562
but it'll do.

1162
01:16:59,564 --> 01:17:01,274
This is your
official position?

1163
01:17:05,153 --> 01:17:08,448
My official
position is this.

1164
01:17:11,159 --> 01:17:12,160
Go.

1165
01:17:16,039 --> 01:17:17,957
You should go, sir.

1166
01:17:21,711 --> 01:17:23,254
Okay, we'll go.

1167
01:17:26,090 --> 01:17:28,009
D-Day is Tuesday,
June 6th.

1168
01:18:00,249 --> 01:18:02,460
This is my statement

1169
01:18:03,628 --> 01:18:06,464
if all goes well
tomorrow. Mmm-hmm.

1170
01:18:07,173 --> 01:18:08,299
And...

1171
01:18:09,842 --> 01:18:11,010
this one if not.

1172
01:18:17,392 --> 01:18:18,434
Hey.
Hmm?

1173
01:18:18,518 --> 01:18:19,811
I've got a surprise
for you.

1174
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:25,024
Rare as nylons.

1175
01:18:37,787 --> 01:18:39,414
I have a good feeling
about tomorrow.

1176
01:18:53,219 --> 01:18:55,096
You should get some sleep. Yes.

1177
01:18:55,179 --> 01:18:56,180
Yeah?

1178
01:19:01,227 --> 01:19:03,521
0630 hours.
0630 hours.

1179
01:19:06,983 --> 01:19:12,321
My men did all that bravery
and devotion to duty could do.

1180
01:19:13,239 --> 01:19:18,327
If any blame or fault
is attached to the attempt,

1181
01:19:18,411 --> 01:19:22,081
it is mine and mine alone.

1182
01:19:24,917 --> 01:19:25,918
That's what I wrote.

1183
01:19:27,879 --> 01:19:30,256
In case we fail tomorrow.

1184
01:19:32,175 --> 01:19:33,509
We won't.

1185
01:19:57,533 --> 01:20:01,287
Soldiers,
sailors and airmen

1186
01:20:02,205 --> 01:20:05,124
of the Allied
Expeditionary Force...

1187
01:20:16,427 --> 01:20:19,138
you are about to embark
upon the Great Crusade,

1188
01:20:19,889 --> 01:20:22,517
upon which we have striven
these many months.

1189
01:20:26,896 --> 01:20:29,315
The eyes of the world
are upon you.

1190
01:20:30,191 --> 01:20:31,651
The hope and prayers

1191
01:20:31,734 --> 01:20:34,987
of liberty-loving people
everywhere march with you.

1192
01:20:39,784 --> 01:20:41,786
In company
with our brave allies

1193
01:20:41,869 --> 01:20:43,955
and brothers-in-arms
on other fronts,

1194
01:20:45,039 --> 01:20:48,167
you will bring about the destruction
of the German war machine...

1195
01:20:50,002 --> 01:20:53,965
the elimination
of Nazi tyranny

1196
01:20:54,048 --> 01:20:56,467
over the oppressed
peoples of Europe

1197
01:20:57,343 --> 01:21:00,096
and security for ourselves
in a free world.

1198
01:21:05,518 --> 01:21:06,519
You get any sleep?

1199
01:21:06,602 --> 01:21:07,728
Not a wink.

1200
01:21:09,188 --> 01:21:10,439
You?

1201
01:21:10,523 --> 01:21:11,524
Nope.

1202
01:21:24,537 --> 01:21:26,539
Your task
will not be an easy one.

1203
01:21:27,498 --> 01:21:29,333
Your enemy is well trained,

1204
01:21:30,084 --> 01:21:33,796
well equipped
and battle-hardened.

1205
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:37,300
He will fight savagely.

1206
01:21:41,887 --> 01:21:43,889
Sixty seconds
to H hour.

1207
01:21:44,890 --> 01:21:47,101
Radio silence
ends in...

1208
01:21:47,977 --> 01:21:50,021
sixty seconds.

1209
01:21:51,689 --> 01:21:54,400
But this is the year 1944.

1210
01:21:54,483 --> 01:21:55,526
Where you from?

1211
01:21:55,610 --> 01:21:56,795
Bracken Mountain,
North Carolina, sir.

1212
01:21:56,819 --> 01:21:58,279
- North Carolina?
- Yes, sir.

1213
01:21:58,362 --> 01:22:00,156
The tide has turned.

1214
01:22:01,324 --> 01:22:05,578
The free men of the world
are marching together to victory.

1215
01:22:05,661 --> 01:22:06,704
What's your name?

1216
01:22:06,787 --> 01:22:09,540
Uh, Oiler, sir. Oiler.
Where you from, Oiler?

1217
01:22:09,624 --> 01:22:12,209
I have full
confidence in your courage,

1218
01:22:12,293 --> 01:22:15,504
devotion to duty
and skill in battle.

1219
01:22:20,801 --> 01:22:25,348
We will accept nothing less
than full victory.

1220
01:22:27,016 --> 01:22:28,267
Good luck.

1221
01:22:29,143 --> 01:22:31,812
And let us beseech the
blessing of Almighty God

1222
01:22:31,896 --> 01:22:34,815
upon this great
and noble undertaking.

1223
01:23:04,679 --> 01:23:06,263
Utah. Come in, Utah.

1224
01:23:08,641 --> 01:23:09,850
Utah, come in.

1225
01:23:12,144 --> 01:23:13,729
SHAEF main to Utah.

1226
01:23:24,990 --> 01:23:26,110
Come in, Utah.

1227
01:23:28,536 --> 01:23:30,416
Omaha Beach
control, do you read?

1228
01:23:40,548 --> 01:23:41,757
Utah, come in.

1229
01:23:44,552 --> 01:23:45,832
Utah, do you read?

1230
01:23:59,483 --> 01:24:01,753
Utah... hit
by machine-gun fire. Casualties...

1231
01:24:01,777 --> 01:24:03,195
Heavy incoming fire
at Utah Beach.

1232
01:24:03,279 --> 01:24:04,488
What about
the other beaches?

1233
01:24:04,572 --> 01:24:06,383
Serious
