both the storms with it,

that that will affect

708
00:40:07.056 --> 00:40:09.276
the outcome of the invasion!

709
00:40:10.451 --> 00:40:11.670
Is that clear?!

710
00:40:14.716 --> 00:40:16.370
Is it?!

711
00:40:16.414 --> 00:40:17.676
Yes, sir.

712
00:40:19.373 --> 00:40:22.507
IKE: Who do you think
you are, anyway?

713
00:40:22.550 --> 00:40:24.204
Who?

714
00:40:25.684 --> 00:40:28.948
Ordering my man to stand down?

715
00:40:28.991 --> 00:40:33.213
Pestering my staff
so that you can phone home?

716
00:40:36.608 --> 00:40:38.697
May I respond, sir?

717
00:40:39.915 --> 00:40:41.569
I'm all ears.

718
00:40:44.572 --> 00:40:48.228
As chief meteorological officer,

719
00:40:48.271 --> 00:40:50.273
I take full responsibility

720
00:40:50.317 --> 00:40:52.711
for the recommendation made
at the meeting.

721
00:40:55.235 --> 00:40:59.413
And it was precisely because
Colonel Krick and I disagreed

722
00:40:59.457 --> 00:41:03.548
that I decided it would be
clearer and simpler

723
00:41:03.591 --> 00:41:05.375
if I spoke alone.

724
00:41:05.419 --> 00:41:08.901
Krick's forecasts have saved

725
00:41:08.944 --> 00:41:11.381
thousands of lives.

726
00:41:11.425 --> 00:41:15.690
Why on God's green earth
should I trust you?

727
00:41:18.998 --> 00:41:20.739
Because Colonel Krick
has been lucky.

728
00:41:20.782 --> 00:41:22.480
Good.

729
00:41:23.698 --> 00:41:25.874
I like luck.

730
00:41:25.918 --> 00:41:28.616
Why was he lucky?

731
00:41:28.660 --> 00:41:30.836
He's been lucky because
he's been tasked

732
00:41:30.879 --> 00:41:35.884
with forecasting
stable weather systems.

733
00:41:35.928 --> 00:41:39.192
When patterns are predictable,
then yes, of course,

734
00:41:39.235 --> 00:41:41.499
analog charts can be useful.

735
00:41:41.542 --> 00:41:44.719
In North Africa,
he never made a mistake.

736
00:41:44.763 --> 00:41:46.939
- Not once.
- Well, of course he didn't.

737
00:41:46.982 --> 00:41:48.984
He was safe as houses there.

738
00:41:50.246 --> 00:41:52.684
The conditions here, sir...

739
00:41:52.727 --> 00:41:54.381
they're not comparable.

740
00:41:54.424 --> 00:41:56.557
Look at the charts, sir.

741
00:42:01.388 --> 00:42:03.869
Here, there are two--
not one but two--

742
00:42:03.912 --> 00:42:06.872
major storms advancing towards
the Normandy coast

743
00:42:06.915 --> 00:42:08.395
even as we speak.

744
00:42:08.438 --> 00:42:11.050
That's nowhere near France.

745
00:42:11.093 --> 00:42:12.617
No, sir.

746
00:42:13.922 --> 00:42:15.445
Not yet.

747
00:42:22.061 --> 00:42:24.542
I want a forecast
the two of you agree on.

748
00:42:26.369 --> 00:42:27.501
Clear?

749
00:42:28.502 --> 00:42:29.547
Yes, sir.

750
00:42:32.767 --> 00:42:35.074
KAY:
OPW confirmed full retraction.

751
00:42:35.117 --> 00:42:36.858
IKE:
Thank you.

752
00:42:36.902 --> 00:42:38.686
Not at all, sir.

753
00:42:46.041 --> 00:42:47.390
[sighs]

754
00:42:52.526 --> 00:42:55.834
I didn't tell him about
you trying to call home.

755
00:42:55.877 --> 00:42:59.185
Someone downstairs must have
leaked it, I'm afraid.

756
00:43:00.708 --> 00:43:01.970
Okay.

757
00:43:03.058 --> 00:43:05.539
He gets like that sometimes.

758
00:43:05.583 --> 00:43:07.280
Just let it wash over you.

759
00:43:07.323 --> 00:43:09.717
He won't even remember
what he said.

760
00:43:09.761 --> 00:43:11.458
That how you deal with him?

761
00:43:12.459 --> 00:43:14.417
Ah, he's nothing.

762
00:43:14.461 --> 00:43:17.159
I was an ambulance driver
during the Blitz.

763
00:43:17.203 --> 00:43:18.683
There were so many dead bodies,

764
00:43:18.726 --> 00:43:20.685
we had to use a cinema
as a morgue.

765
00:43:22.034 --> 00:43:24.993
- You just grow a thick skin.
- Hmm.

766
00:43:28.214 --> 00:43:29.998
From ambulance driver

767
00:43:30.042 --> 00:43:32.479
to aide
to the supreme commander.

768
00:43:32.522 --> 00:43:34.524
Mm-hmm.

769
00:43:34.568 --> 00:43:37.179
Driver, secretary,

00:43:37.223 --> 00:43:39.486

Everything, really.

We've been together

773
00:43:48.060 --> 00:43:52.151
I've been to Morocco, Algeria.

774
00:43:57.547 --> 00:43:58.984
Must be exciting.

775
00:44:02.248 --> 00:44:04.380
It has its moments.

776
00:44:13.955 --> 00:44:16.479
So, these storms
you keep talking about--

777
00:44:16.523 --> 00:44:19.134
how are you so certain
that they're coming?

778
00:44:21.441 --> 00:44:23.008
I'm not certain.

779
00:44:24.270 --> 00:44:27.316
You can't be certain
about the weather.

780
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:29.971
All we can do is
look to the evidence.

781
00:44:30.015 --> 00:44:35.237
Do you know that weathermen are
traditionally a little boring?

782
00:44:37.326 --> 00:44:40.155
- How dare you say that?
- [laughs]

783
00:44:42.462 --> 00:44:45.987
Weathermen, maybe, but how can
the weather be boring?

784
00:44:47.293 --> 00:44:49.251
It feeds us.

785
00:44:49.295 --> 00:44:51.123
The weather.

786
00:44:52.167 --> 00:44:54.256
Can destroy us.

787
00:44:54.300 --> 00:44:56.606
Controls our daily life.

788
00:44:58.652 --> 00:45:00.480
I don't think that's boring.

789
00:45:05.833 --> 00:45:09.619
People ask, "When will it rain?
When will the sun come out?"

790
00:45:11.970 --> 00:45:13.841
But what about,
"Why does it rain?"

791
00:45:16.104 --> 00:45:17.845
"Why does the wind blow?"

792
00:45:19.412 --> 00:45:20.848
