1
00:01:33,366 --> 00:01:34,710
Order!

2
00:01:37,046 --> 00:01:38,194
Order!

3
00:01:38,981 --> 00:01:39,958
Order!

4
00:01:40,379 --> 00:01:41,512
Mr. Speaker!

5
00:01:41,919 --> 00:01:43,231
Mr. Speaker!

6
00:01:43,552 --> 00:01:44,380
Order!

7
00:01:44,802 --> 00:01:45,677
The leaders!

8
00:01:46,656 --> 00:01:47,320
Order!

9
00:01:47,695 --> 00:01:50,797
The Leader of the Opposition,
Clement Atlee!

10
00:01:51,533 --> 00:01:53,010
Mr. Speaker!

11
00:01:54,033 --> 00:01:57,182
It seems that I have
not been clear enough!

12
00:01:58,716 --> 00:02:01,935
Then let me leave no doubt

13
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:04,251
about my feelings regarding

14
00:02:04,276 --> 00:02:06,985
Mr. Chamberlain's future
as Prime Minister.

15
00:02:07,037 --> 00:02:09,544
Will the riled unruly gentleman

16
00:02:09,650 --> 00:02:11,165
be quiet!

17
00:02:11,466 --> 00:02:12,482
Be quiet!

18
00:02:13,124 --> 00:02:14,069
Be quiet!

19
00:02:14,164 --> 00:02:18,601
Owing to his years of inactivity

20
00:02:18,748 --> 00:02:20,569
and incompetence

21
00:02:21,131 --> 00:02:24,475
we find him personally
responsible,

22
00:02:25,702 --> 00:02:28,054
personally responsible

23
00:02:28,335 --> 00:02:30,046
for leaving this nation

24
00:02:30,195 --> 00:02:33,648
ruinously unprepared to face
the present Nazi peril.

25
00:02:37,704 --> 00:02:38,641
Order!

26
00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:40,680
Order!

27
00:02:43,499 --> 00:02:45,820
We are at war, Mr. Speaker.

28
00:02:46,007 --> 00:02:47,156
At war.

29
00:02:47,562 --> 00:02:52,781
And leaving aside whether he is
fit to be a leader in peacetime

30
00:02:53,057 --> 00:02:57,971
he has proved himself incapable
of leading us in wartime.

31
00:03:01,821 --> 00:03:02,845
Order!

32
00:03:03,486 --> 00:03:04,470
Order!

33
00:03:08,745 --> 00:03:10,581
I say, order!

34
00:03:10,682 --> 00:03:14,518
Therefore, in the
national interest,

35
00:03:15,709 --> 00:03:19,458
we the Opposition,
are willing to enter into

36
00:03:19,802 --> 00:03:24,239
a Grand Coalition with the
ruling Conservative Party,

37
00:03:24,873 --> 00:03:26,475
so-called!...

38
00:03:26,787 --> 00:03:28,147
Order!

39
00:03:28,350 --> 00:03:31,123
But not, and I stress, never,

40
00:03:31,293 --> 00:03:33,629
under the leadership
of Mr. Chamberlain

41
00:03:33,707 --> 00:03:36,067
who has lost the
confidence of this House!

42
00:03:37,852 --> 00:03:40,078
In the country's interest man,

43
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:45,028
resign! Step down! And let
us find a new leader!

44
00:03:45,749 --> 00:03:47,265
God, shame on you!

45
00:03:48,031 --> 00:03:49,726
Shame!

46
00:03:50,835 --> 00:03:52,226
Where's Winston?

47
00:03:53,176 --> 00:03:56,027
Ensuring his fingerprints
are not on the murder weapon.

48
00:03:57,098 --> 00:03:59,192
Order!

49
00:04:01,871 --> 00:04:06,730
As the Opposition refuse to
join any government headed by me,

50
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,768
we must now select
my successor.

51
00:04:09,826 --> 00:04:13,873
Someone with new
strength to form a

52
00:04:13,898 --> 00:04:15,705
coalition government.

53
00:04:18,833 --> 00:04:20,833
I will step down tomorrow

54
00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:22,669
but uh...

55
00:04:23,015 --> 00:04:27,945
I did want my own party, the
gentlemen I most respect,

56
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:30,590
to know first.

57
00:04:31,222 --> 00:04:32,074
Hear.

58
00:04:35,226 --> 00:04:37,383
-It must be Halifax.
-Hear, hear.

59
00:04:37,515 --> 00:04:38,820
There's no question.

60
00:04:39,062 --> 00:04:40,648
Our Foreign Secretary.

61
00:04:40,888 --> 00:04:42,544
-Halifax.
-Yeah, of course.

62
00:04:44,114 --> 00:04:46,372
No contest. Halifax.

63
00:04:46,528 --> 00:04:48,715
Thank you, gentlemen,
I appreciate your confidence in me

64
00:04:48,786 --> 00:04:50,184
however my time

65
00:04:50,325 --> 00:04:52,005
has not yet come.

66
00:04:53,884 --> 00:04:55,173
Then who?

67
00:04:55,666 --> 00:04:58,392
But on whomever
the task may fall,

68
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:01,416
he shall be required to
explore every avenue.

69
00:05:01,603 --> 00:05:04,400
Including that of Diplomatic talks.

70
00:05:04,425 --> 00:05:05,400
Indeed.

71
00:05:05,535 --> 00:05:08,918
Towards the restoration
of peace in Europe.

72
00:05:08,988 --> 00:05:10,957
-Absolutely.
-Hear, hear!

73
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,490
Well, gentlemen, there
is only one candidate.

74
00:05:14,515 --> 00:05:17,139
Only one man the
Opposition will accept.

75
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:20,118
Oh, no. Oh, surely no.

76
00:05:20,618 --> 00:05:21,758
No, no, no.

77
00:05:22,364 --> 00:05:24,481
No, this is totally absurd.

78
00:05:34,841 --> 00:05:37,536
And if he stretches out his
hand and says, "Gimme",

79
00:05:37,685 --> 00:05:39,614
you need to anticipate
what he wants

80
00:05:39,778 --> 00:05:42,700
black pen, red pen,
paper, or "Clop",

81
00:05:42,903 --> 00:05:44,357
that's his hole punch.

82
00:05:44,956 --> 00:05:47,846
How selfish to resign,
time like this.

83
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,260
D'you think they'll take me to
Downing Street if he gets the job?

84
00:05:50,285 --> 00:05:53,706
Not after the Spotted Dick
you served last week, eh.

85
00:05:53,957 --> 00:05:56,980
He mumbles, so it's almost
impossible to catch everything.

86
00:05:57,106 --> 00:06:00,426
Be prepared to type fast.
Short bursts, and double-spaced.

87
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,809
He hates single-spaced, hates it!

88
00:06:03,559 --> 00:06:04,598
Good luck.

89
00:06:26,198 --> 00:06:28,752
To the French Ambassador.

90
00:06:32,098 --> 00:06:34,544
With German forces...

91
00:06:35,637 --> 00:06:37,583
crossing into Holland...

92
00:06:38,301 --> 00:06:39,833
H-Holland alone...

93
00:06:40,411 --> 00:06:42,036
Come on, telegram.

94
00:06:42,325 --> 00:06:43,990
Holland alone...

95
00:06:45,202 --> 00:06:47,257
uh, request reassurance

96
00:06:48,461 --> 00:06:51,093
that French forces will now move

97
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,054
move at once

98
00:06:53,328 --> 00:06:57,047
into... uh... to protect Belgium.

99
00:06:57,262 --> 00:06:58,278
Stop.

100
00:07:02,561 --> 00:07:03,780
French Ambassador, sir.

101
00:07:08,012 --> 00:07:09,473
Monsieur Ambassador.

102
00:07:12,379 --> 00:07:13,395
Oh.

103
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:15,850
Oh.

104
00:07:15,967 --> 00:07:18,295
They've already invaded
Belgium.

105
00:07:19,724 --> 00:07:22,044
Holland <i>and</i> Belgium.

106
00:07:23,802 --> 00:07:27,193
I-I will convey your plea to
the Prime Minister at once.

107
00:07:28,392 --> 00:07:33,111
Yes, the situation is
still very confused.

108
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,941
Yes.

109
00:07:37,785 --> 00:07:39,230
Uh, goodbye.

110
00:07:42,126 --> 00:07:43,564
To the French Ambassador...

111
00:07:43,704 --> 00:07:46,399
Scrap that.
Uh, new telegram.

112
00:07:46,892 --> 00:07:49,087
To General Ismay...

113
00:07:50,528 --> 00:07:52,489
-What is it now?!
-Your son.

114
00:07:54,387 --> 00:07:56,192
Randolph, quickly.

115
00:07:58,358 --> 00:08:02,349
No. last night they said I might be
made Prime Minister today.

116
00:08:02,374 --> 00:08:04,350
But that was yesterday.

117
00:08:04,505 --> 00:08:06,372
Let's see what happens today.

118
00:08:06,544 --> 00:08:08,809
Yeah, let's see what uh,

119
00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:11,528
Let's see what
Neville does today.

120
00:08:15,585 --> 00:08:16,507
Yes.

121
00:08:16,812 --> 00:08:19,640
No. Thank you my boy. Yes, um.

122
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:22,127
Yes, keep buggering on.

123
00:08:23,674 --> 00:08:24,572
Um.

124
00:08:27,163 --> 00:08:28,053
Now...

125
00:08:28,139 --> 00:08:30,678
-To General Ismay.
-Ah, General Ismay.

126
00:08:31,148 --> 00:08:34,578
Sawyers, get rid of this will you?

127
00:08:40,283 --> 00:08:41,697
To General Ismay.

128
00:08:42,791 --> 00:08:45,869
In the light of today's events,

129
00:08:46,843 --> 00:08:50,047
the time is uh... ripe

130
00:08:52,016 --> 00:08:54,305
for many preparations...

131
00:08:55,375 --> 00:08:57,765
to be... Are you uh...

132
00:08:58,450 --> 00:09:00,942
striking those keys
in a normal fashion?

133
00:09:01,028 --> 00:09:03,622
It's awfully loud, I can't-
I can't hear myself think!

134
00:09:03,647 --> 00:09:04,871
Read it back.

135
00:09:05,950 --> 00:09:07,841
Ah, To General Ismay.

136
00:09:08,075 --> 00:09:10,778
In the light of today's
events, the time is right--

137
00:09:10,872 --> 00:09:13,293
Ripe, not right!

138
00:09:13,425 --> 00:09:15,316
God's teeth girl!

139
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,020
I said ripe, ripe, ripe - P-P-P!

140
00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:20,522
The last sentence...

141
00:09:20,616 --> 00:09:22,897
Uh, the time is ripe - P...

142
00:09:23,007 --> 00:09:24,616
-For.
-For...

143
00:09:24,695 --> 00:09:26,265
-For!
-Many, many, many...

144
00:09:26,359 --> 00:09:28,164
Many, many, many, many, many,

145
00:09:28,212 --> 00:09:31,093
How many "many"s did you
write, you nincompoop?!

146
00:09:31,195 --> 00:09:33,140
One many! For...

147
00:09:33,165 --> 00:09:36,946
for many preparations
to be made--

148
00:09:39,017 --> 00:09:41,814
Single-spaced. Single-spaced?!

149
00:09:41,978 --> 00:09:45,353
Were you not briefed, young lady?!
Single-spaced?!

150
00:09:45,481 --> 00:09:47,050
Someone set it on single-spaced.

151
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,203
-And--
-And then why did you persist?!

152
00:09:49,275 --> 00:09:51,370
-Well, I did--
-Ah...!

153
00:09:51,395 --> 00:09:54,241
Tell Evans to send me someone
who can get it right

154
00:09:54,314 --> 00:09:56,743
the first time! Now! Now!

155
00:09:57,340 --> 00:09:58,597
Right!

156
00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:00,699
T-T-T!

157
00:10:06,165 --> 00:10:08,665
He shouted at you.
Did he shout at you?

158
00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:10,846
-No.
-He can be an awful brute.

159
00:10:10,917 --> 00:10:12,437
I-I made too many mistakes.

160
00:10:12,496 --> 00:10:13,243
I think you were nervous.

161
00:10:13,268 --> 00:10:14,372
And he has a knack
for drawing out

162
00:10:14,397 --> 00:10:16,236
the very worst in those
trying to help him the most.

163
00:10:16,261 --> 00:10:18,529
Oh it's not him. It's me.
He's, he's--

164
00:10:18,554 --> 00:10:20,873
He's a man, like any other.

165
00:10:22,277 --> 00:10:23,306
Come on...

166
00:10:25,046 --> 00:10:25,963
Dearest?

167
00:10:25,988 --> 00:10:28,370
The War Cabinet's been called.

168
00:10:28,751 --> 00:10:30,924
The bloody cat's
under the bed again.

169
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:32,039
My Darling?

170
00:10:32,103 --> 00:10:34,803
May I tell you something
I feel you really ought to know?

171
00:10:38,107 --> 00:10:41,939
I have noticed a recent
deterioration in your manner.

172
00:10:41,996 --> 00:10:43,841
You're not so kind
as you used to be.

173
00:10:44,539 --> 00:10:46,785
You've become rough,

174
00:10:46,810 --> 00:10:49,180
and sarcastic,
and over-bearing and rude.

175
00:10:49,220 --> 00:10:51,336
Is this about the new girl?

176
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,088
If the King does ask you
to become Prime Minister,

177
00:10:54,113 --> 00:10:55,221
We don't know that for sure.

178
00:10:55,263 --> 00:10:57,884
I don't want you to be disliked.

179
00:10:58,218 --> 00:10:59,994
More than I already am?

180
00:11:00,068 --> 00:11:03,669
Oh. My darling, you
are on the brink,

181
00:11:03,818 --> 00:11:06,751
of having tremendous power,
surpassed only by that of the King.

182
00:11:06,830 --> 00:11:10,282
And with such power you really
must try and be more kind.

183
00:11:11,393 --> 00:11:13,616
And if possible, calm.

184
00:11:17,072 --> 00:11:19,395
I want others to love
and respect you

185
00:11:19,563 --> 00:11:21,033
as I do.

186
00:11:30,406 --> 00:11:31,940
Telegram for Mr. Churchill.

187
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:33,324
Excuse me?

188
00:11:34,041 --> 00:11:35,234
I'm not...

189
00:12:05,631 --> 00:12:09,765
<i>The German army invaded Holland
and Belgium early this morning,</i>

190
00:12:09,808 --> 00:12:10,554
<i>by land,</i>

191
00:12:10,631 --> 00:12:12,066
There's a telegram.

192
00:12:12,182 --> 00:12:12,921
Shh.

193
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,859
<i>The Armies of the Low
Countries are resisting.</i>

194
00:12:17,885 --> 00:12:21,365
<i>An appeal for help has been
made to the Allied governments</i>

195
00:12:21,797 --> 00:12:23,445
It's from the Palace.

196
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:26,522
<i>the Allied troops are
moving to their support...</i>

197
00:12:27,683 --> 00:12:31,489
<i>A hundred war planes
was seen over Brussels.</i>

198
00:12:31,694 --> 00:12:33,485
<i>And it's now reported...</i>

199
00:12:35,659 --> 00:12:39,352
<i>several hundred people
were killed and wounded</i>

200
00:12:39,516 --> 00:12:42,101
<i>and several buildings destroyed.</i>

201
00:12:43,578 --> 00:12:45,333
<i>Five minutes ago...</i>

202
00:12:48,294 --> 00:12:49,324
Ah.

203
00:12:50,467 --> 00:12:51,590
Thank you.

204
00:12:52,458 --> 00:12:53,644
Miss...?

205
00:12:54,078 --> 00:12:55,384
Layton.

206
00:12:58,159 --> 00:12:59,465
You're shaking.

207
00:12:59,493 --> 00:13:00,722
So are you.

208
00:13:00,801 --> 00:13:02,846
You from excitement.
I from terror.

209
00:13:04,084 --> 00:13:06,207
You've wanted this your
entire adult life.

210
00:13:06,273 --> 00:13:08,389
No, since the nursery.

211
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:09,726
But do the public want me?

212
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:11,736
It's your own Party to whom
you'll have to prove yourself.

213
00:13:12,289 --> 00:13:14,796
I'm getting the job only
because the ship is sinking.

214
00:13:14,861 --> 00:13:17,552
I-I-It's not a gift, it's revenge.

215
00:13:17,725 --> 00:13:20,267
Let them see your true qualities.
Your courage.

216
00:13:20,331 --> 00:13:21,525
My poor judgement.

217
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:22,562
Your lack of vanity.

218
00:13:22,590 --> 00:13:23,705
My iron will.

219
00:13:23,755 --> 00:13:24,692
Your sense of humour.

220
00:13:24,717 --> 00:13:25,814
Ho Ho Ho!

221
00:13:28,402 --> 00:13:30,043
-Now go.
-Go?

222
00:13:30,164 --> 00:13:32,060
-Be.
-Be what?

223
00:13:32,458 --> 00:13:33,715
Be yourself.

224
00:13:36,446 --> 00:13:37,582
Myself.

225
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:39,194
Hmm.

226
00:13:41,244 --> 00:13:43,999
Which self should I...

227
00:13:44,468 --> 00:13:46,975
be today? Hmm.

228
00:13:47,471 --> 00:13:50,191
One should have had
power when a young man.

229
00:13:50,216 --> 00:13:51,817
When wits were sharp,

230
00:13:51,924 --> 00:13:53,664
sinews strong.

231
00:13:53,887 --> 00:13:56,522
Oh, well. Lead on Macduff...

232
00:13:57,303 --> 00:13:59,782
When youth departs...

233
00:14:00,254 --> 00:14:02,982
may wisdom prove enough.

234
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,312
Mm.

235
00:14:53,772 --> 00:14:56,762
Hardly seems like
there's a war on at all.

236
00:14:58,853 --> 00:15:01,368
You know, I've never ridden a bus.

237
00:15:02,237 --> 00:15:03,366
Sir?

238
00:15:03,707 --> 00:15:05,810
I've never queued for bread.

239
00:15:07,459 --> 00:15:09,909
I believe I can boil an egg

240
00:15:10,122 --> 00:15:12,289
but only because
I've seen it done.

241
00:15:14,167 --> 00:15:16,994
The only time I tried
riding the Underground

242
00:15:17,019 --> 00:15:19,316
was during the General Strike.

243
00:15:19,413 --> 00:15:22,595
Clemmie dropped me off
at South Kensington station.

244
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,417
I went down, but I got lost.
I came straight back up.

245
00:15:27,738 --> 00:15:29,194
It was awful.

246
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:33,573
Why not Halifax? I favour Halifax.

247
00:15:33,622 --> 00:15:35,213
I wanted Halifax.

248
00:15:35,295 --> 00:15:37,177
The Lords wanted Halifax.

249
00:15:37,717 --> 00:15:40,473
Perhaps Halifax wanted Halifax.

250
00:15:40,609 --> 00:15:42,796
Then why have I been forced

251
00:15:42,889 --> 00:15:44,544
to send for Churchill?

252
00:15:44,792 --> 00:15:47,015
Because he is the only
member of our party

253
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,429
who has the support
of the Opposition.

254
00:15:49,592 --> 00:15:52,668
His record is a litany
of catastrophe.

255
00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:55,852
Gallipoli, 25,000
dead.

256
00:15:55,877 --> 00:15:58,629
The India Policy.
The Russian Civil War.

257
00:15:58,707 --> 00:16:00,426
The Gold Standard.

258
00:16:01,445 --> 00:16:05,741
The Abdication. And now
this Norway 'adventure'.

259
00:16:05,766 --> 00:16:07,389
What's that,
eighteen hundred men?

260
00:16:07,414 --> 00:16:10,021
One aircraft carrier,
two cruisers,

261
00:16:10,046 --> 00:16:12,294
seven destroyers
and a submarine.

262
00:16:12,373 --> 00:16:14,297
Winston lacks judgement.

263
00:16:14,367 --> 00:16:15,751
He was right about Hitler.

264
00:16:15,805 --> 00:16:18,820
Well even a stopped clock
is right twice a day.

265
00:16:22,820 --> 00:16:25,789
First Lord of the Admiralty,
Mr. Winston Churchill.

266
00:16:25,814 --> 00:16:27,941
-Early.
-Keen.

267
00:16:32,027 --> 00:16:34,250
I accept your resignation...

268
00:16:35,003 --> 00:16:37,517
but I want you to know how...

269
00:16:37,941 --> 00:16:40,789
cruelly I think
you've been treated.

270
00:16:41,623 --> 00:16:43,363
Thank you Your Majesty.

271
00:16:47,088 --> 00:16:49,496
Oh. This way, my Lord.

272
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,693
Your Majesty.

273
00:17:28,835 --> 00:17:30,327
Mr. Churchill.

274
00:17:31,145 --> 00:17:33,318
I believe you know...

275
00:17:34,675 --> 00:17:37,232
why I've asked you here today.

276
00:17:37,305 --> 00:17:39,947
Sir, I simply
cannot imagine why.

277
00:17:44,424 --> 00:17:47,527
It is my duty to invite you

278
00:17:47,598 --> 00:17:51,917
to take up the position of Prime
Minister of this United Kingdom.

279
00:17:52,426 --> 00:17:54,791
Will you form a government?

280
00:17:55,289 --> 00:17:56,639
I will.

281
00:17:57,156 --> 00:17:58,265
Very well.

282
00:18:13,567 --> 00:18:15,428
That was quite easy.

283
00:18:16,330 --> 00:18:18,070
Yes, it was.

284
00:18:19,709 --> 00:18:20,512
Mhm.

285
00:18:22,572 --> 00:18:26,798
I believe we are
to meet regularly.

286
00:18:27,269 --> 00:18:29,925
Once a week, I'm afraid.
How is...

287
00:18:31,836 --> 00:18:33,853
How are you for Mondays?

288
00:18:34,596 --> 00:18:38,112
I shall endeavour to be available
on Mondays.

289
00:18:38,146 --> 00:18:40,625
-Four o'clock?
-I nap at four.

290
00:18:42,459 --> 00:18:44,845
Is that...p-permissible?

291
00:18:45,055 --> 00:18:48,222
No. But necessary. I work late.

292
00:18:48,316 --> 00:18:50,255
Then perhaps lunch time?

293
00:18:50,465 --> 00:18:52,155
Lunch!

294
00:18:52,582 --> 00:18:53,973
Mondays.

295
00:18:57,455 --> 00:18:59,628
Your Majesty.

296
00:18:59,749 --> 00:19:00,970
Prime Minister.

297
00:19:30,918 --> 00:19:32,545
Good evening, gentlemen!

298
00:19:32,715 --> 00:19:34,441
Mr. Churchill, welcome
to number ten.

299
00:19:34,475 --> 00:19:35,452
Thank you, sir.

300
00:19:35,495 --> 00:19:37,420
Mr. Churchill,
what's your agenda?

301
00:19:37,452 --> 00:19:40,779
The agenda, uh,
a glass of Pol Roger.

302
00:19:41,117 --> 00:19:42,743
-Yes.
-Over here, sir!

303
00:19:42,768 --> 00:19:44,235
You have your pictures!

304
00:19:44,341 --> 00:19:46,777
-Prime Minister.
-Anthony!

305
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,509
How was the K-king?

306
00:19:48,808 --> 00:19:50,413
Anxious.

307
00:19:50,694 --> 00:19:54,061
He's never forgiven me
for supporting his

308
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,342
brother's marriage
to Wallis Simpson.

309
00:19:57,686 --> 00:19:59,348
You only have to meet
him once a week.

310
00:19:59,373 --> 00:20:01,599
Oh, well, that's like saying
you only have to have

311
00:20:01,624 --> 00:20:03,737
your tooth pulled once a week.

312
00:20:04,505 --> 00:20:06,820
Composition of your War Cabinet.

313
00:20:07,111 --> 00:20:08,908
Who should sit on it?

314
00:20:09,557 --> 00:20:11,902
Uh, Chamberlain, of course.

315
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,929
Uh, the Reverend "Holy Fox".

316
00:20:16,161 --> 00:20:17,688
Halifax.

317
00:20:18,582 --> 00:20:20,301
Keeping your enemies close?

318
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:22,091
Oh, more than that...

319
00:20:22,183 --> 00:20:25,081
without them the party
will have rid of me.

320
00:20:25,246 --> 00:20:28,392
Oh, a-a-and that sheep in
sheep's clothing, Atlee.

321
00:20:28,811 --> 00:20:31,354
Come on Daddy,
everyone's waiting.

322
00:20:31,392 --> 00:20:34,226
Yes, I-I'll be there
in a jiffy, my love.

323
00:20:34,994 --> 00:20:38,836
I heard that before you were asked,
they offered it to Lord Halifax.

324
00:20:38,893 --> 00:20:40,470
Oh, I doubt that.

325
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,138
Halifax would never
turn it down.

326
00:20:43,266 --> 00:20:45,901
He's the fourth
son of an Earl.

327
00:20:46,185 --> 00:20:48,429
Fourth sons turn nothing down.

328
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:52,781
I wish the position had come
your way in better times, sir.

329
00:20:53,911 --> 00:20:55,992
You have an enormous
task ahead of you.

330
00:20:56,063 --> 00:20:58,450
I only hope it's not too late.

331
00:20:58,733 --> 00:21:01,375
I am very much afraid it is.

332
00:21:02,492 --> 00:21:04,807
But we can only do our best.
Hmm?

333
00:21:04,935 --> 00:21:06,704
-Hip Hip
-Hurray!

334
00:21:06,861 --> 00:21:08,451
-Hip Hip
-Hurray!

335
00:21:08,558 --> 00:21:11,264
Heavens, what a...
a frightful sight!

336
00:21:11,315 --> 00:21:13,516
-Oh, a toast.
-Yes, a speech.

337
00:21:13,877 --> 00:21:15,078
Yes.

338
00:21:15,561 --> 00:21:17,265
Oh, um...

339
00:21:18,204 --> 00:21:21,664
Oh, my darling husband, um...

340
00:21:22,013 --> 00:21:23,490
Some of you may not know that

341
00:21:23,515 --> 00:21:26,324
on the eve of our marriage
I got "cold feet".

342
00:21:26,382 --> 00:21:29,592
But as I'd already called off two
engagements by the age of 21,

343
00:21:29,620 --> 00:21:32,199
I was in danger of gaining a
reputation for being a 'bolter'.

344
00:21:32,224 --> 00:21:35,347
It would've been poor
form to call off a third!

345
00:21:35,372 --> 00:21:37,052
-Hear, hear.
-Lucky for Daddy.

346
00:21:37,142 --> 00:21:40,658
The real reason for my wintry
feet was that I knew,

347
00:21:40,935 --> 00:21:44,984
even then, that his priority
would be public life.

348
00:21:46,026 --> 00:21:47,510
But it worried a
young girl greatly,

349
00:21:47,535 --> 00:21:50,323
this wretched thought of
eternally coming second.

350
00:21:50,926 --> 00:21:52,908
But so it has proven to be.

351
00:21:53,156 --> 00:21:55,183
And in due course,
our children

352
00:21:55,208 --> 00:21:57,793
would have to make their
peace with this same fact.

353
00:22:00,220 --> 00:22:01,818
We all did, you see.

354
00:22:02,365 --> 00:22:04,006
In our own way.

355
00:22:06,810 --> 00:22:11,518
And now, today, we are
to receive our reward.

356
00:22:12,532 --> 00:22:17,652
Proof that our small sacrifice
was for a far, far greater good.

357
00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:20,933
I give you, your father,

358
00:22:21,317 --> 00:22:24,001
my beloved husband...

359
00:22:24,301 --> 00:22:26,219
the Prime Minister.

360
00:22:26,489 --> 00:22:28,371
-The Prime Minister.
-The Prime Minister.

361
00:22:28,564 --> 00:22:30,247
Here's to um...

362
00:22:32,724 --> 00:22:35,494
to not buggering it up.

363
00:22:35,565 --> 00:22:37,689
-To not buggering it up!
-To not buggering it up!

364
00:22:38,510 --> 00:22:40,882
Belgium was a ploy.

365
00:22:40,967 --> 00:22:43,978
They punched through the
Ardennes into France...

366
00:22:44,068 --> 00:22:46,791
crossed the Meuse River
in under 24 hours.

367
00:22:46,859 --> 00:22:48,898
No one can cross the
Meuse in 24 hours.

368
00:22:48,923 --> 00:22:51,072
Well, apparently the Germans can.

369
00:23:25,210 --> 00:23:27,192
Look to Chamberlain's handkerchief.

370
00:23:27,263 --> 00:23:29,528
If he waves it at the end
of Churchill's speech,

371
00:23:29,627 --> 00:23:31,076
we show approval.

372
00:23:32,195 --> 00:23:35,072
If not, keep quiet.

373
00:23:35,725 --> 00:23:38,133
The Prime Minister.

374
00:23:48,342 --> 00:23:49,798
Here we go.

375
00:23:52,575 --> 00:23:54,287
Mr. Speaker.

376
00:23:55,217 --> 00:23:58,520
On Friday evening last...

377
00:23:58,605 --> 00:24:01,979
I received
His Majesty's commission

378
00:24:02,128 --> 00:24:05,040
to form a new administration.

379
00:24:05,829 --> 00:24:10,615
It was the evident wish
and will of Parliament,

380
00:24:10,689 --> 00:24:12,116
and the Nation,

381
00:24:12,209 --> 00:24:14,567
that this should be conceived

382
00:24:14,641 --> 00:24:17,212
on the
broadest possible basis,

383
00:24:17,486 --> 00:24:20,391
and that
it should include all parties.

384
00:24:23,193 --> 00:24:26,190
A War Cabinet has been convened

385
00:24:26,425 --> 00:24:30,132
Um, uh, no. Uh... correction...

386
00:24:30,304 --> 00:24:31,994
has been <i>formed</i>.

387
00:24:33,757 --> 00:24:34,829
"formed."

388
00:24:35,221 --> 00:24:39,547
A War Cabinet has been
formed of... five members...

389
00:24:39,686 --> 00:24:43,010
representing, with the
Opposition parties,

390
00:24:43,258 --> 00:24:45,070
the unity of
the Nation.

391
00:24:47,496 --> 00:24:48,696
Read.

392
00:24:49,058 --> 00:24:51,268
The three party Leaders
have agreed to serve,

393
00:24:51,293 --> 00:24:52,874
either in the War Cabinet...

394
00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:55,564
-or in high executive office.
-or in high executive office.

395
00:24:55,657 --> 00:24:58,143
With this agreement in place,

396
00:24:58,334 --> 00:25:00,592
I now invite the House,

397
00:25:00,926 --> 00:25:04,285
by the resolution which...
stands in my name...

398
00:25:04,756 --> 00:25:07,518
to record its approval,

399
00:25:08,122 --> 00:25:12,888
and to declare its confidence
in the new government.

400
00:25:15,798 --> 00:25:17,040
Miss?

401
00:25:17,829 --> 00:25:21,159
I-I'm coming out in a state
of nature!

402
00:25:27,063 --> 00:25:29,088
It must be remembered

403
00:25:29,477 --> 00:25:31,153
that we are in

404
00:25:31,317 --> 00:25:36,239
the preliminary stage of one of
the greatest battles in history...

405
00:25:36,726 --> 00:25:38,339
and that many

406
00:25:38,395 --> 00:25:41,563
preparations have to be
made here at home.

407
00:25:42,447 --> 00:25:45,423
Sir, I take up my task

408
00:25:45,448 --> 00:25:48,533
with buoyancy and hope

409
00:25:48,828 --> 00:25:50,917
and say to the House,

410
00:25:51,023 --> 00:25:54,290
as I have said to those who
have joined the government...

411
00:25:54,497 --> 00:25:57,721
I have nothing to offer

412
00:25:57,770 --> 00:25:59,049
but blood,

413
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,009
toil,

414
00:26:00,052 --> 00:26:00,812
tears,

415
00:26:00,864 --> 00:26:02,025
and sweat.

416
00:26:05,011 --> 00:26:09,025
We have before us an ordeal of the
most grievous kind.

417
00:26:09,682 --> 00:26:13,097
We have before us many,
many long months

418
00:26:13,122 --> 00:26:15,824
of struggle and of suffering.

419
00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:19,852
You ask, w-what is our policy?

420
00:26:20,633 --> 00:26:23,524
I say it is to wage war

421
00:26:23,629 --> 00:26:28,906
by sea, land and air,
with all our might

422
00:26:29,018 --> 00:26:33,847
and with all the strength
that God can give us

423
00:26:34,261 --> 00:26:39,723
to wage war against
a monstrous tyranny

424
00:26:40,016 --> 00:26:42,315
never surpassed in the dark

425
00:26:42,340 --> 00:26:45,559
and lamentable catalogue
of human crime.

426
00:26:45,712 --> 00:26:48,766
That is our policy.

427
00:26:48,975 --> 00:26:52,249
You ask, what is our aim?

428
00:26:52,490 --> 00:26:55,863
I can answer in one word.

429
00:26:56,843 --> 00:26:58,200
Victory.

430
00:26:58,798 --> 00:27:01,341
Victory at all costs,

431
00:27:01,568 --> 00:27:05,119
victory in spite of terror,

432
00:27:05,318 --> 00:27:10,418
victory however long and
hard the road may be.

433
00:27:10,616 --> 00:27:13,251
For without victory,

434
00:27:13,408 --> 00:27:17,030
there can be no survival.

435
00:27:32,907 --> 00:27:34,212
What's he doing?

436
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:44,332
Consent.

437
00:27:45,056 --> 00:27:47,194
-Well, we have to start somewhere.
-Well, we have to start somewhere.

438
00:27:47,870 --> 00:27:49,119
Snap.

439
00:27:57,530 --> 00:28:00,875
"Our policy is to wage war

440
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,435
"At all costs. No survival"

441
00:28:04,498 --> 00:28:08,795
Good God, he's incapable of even
pronouncing the word 'peace,'

442
00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:11,332
let alone entering
into negotiations.

443
00:28:11,898 --> 00:28:13,867
Awful, the thought
that I shall never

444
00:28:13,892 --> 00:28:16,652
see my country at peace again.

445
00:28:19,921 --> 00:28:21,477
I have cancer.

446
00:28:26,161 --> 00:28:27,979
Oh, Neville.

447
00:28:33,001 --> 00:28:35,928
Winston must be
removed from office.

448
00:28:36,052 --> 00:28:38,004
If we can get him to
declare that he refuses

449
00:28:38,029 --> 00:28:40,633
to even consider peace
negotiations with Germany,

450
00:28:40,690 --> 00:28:43,708
you and I would perhaps
have clear grounds to resign.

451
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:46,749
That would force a
vote of "no confidence".

452
00:28:47,189 --> 00:28:49,043
The party couldn't
countenance that,

453
00:28:49,068 --> 00:28:50,954
you're the chairman
for heaven's sake.

454
00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:53,078
He'd be finished.

455
00:28:53,156 --> 00:28:55,691
And you would agree
to be Prime Minister?

456
00:28:56,798 --> 00:28:58,247
Well.

457
00:28:59,128 --> 00:29:01,017
With Winston out of the way,
who can say,

458
00:29:01,049 --> 00:29:03,606
but the important
thing, Neville,

459
00:29:03,631 --> 00:29:07,042
is that your policies
would be back on the table.

460
00:29:07,196 --> 00:29:09,682
Peace and the protection
of our nation.

461
00:29:09,954 --> 00:29:11,161
On record.

462
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,816
I beg your pardon?

463
00:29:12,848 --> 00:29:17,180
He must declare on record his
refusal to engage in peace talks.

464
00:29:17,946 --> 00:29:20,240
We must have it in writing.

465
00:29:59,529 --> 00:30:00,864
Thank you.

466
00:30:02,603 --> 00:30:04,506
-Miss Layton.
-Morning.

467
00:30:04,556 --> 00:30:06,168
Follow me.

468
00:30:19,616 --> 00:30:21,726
-Morning.
-Thank you, sir.

469
00:30:23,487 --> 00:30:24,694
Thank you, ma'am

470
00:30:27,249 --> 00:30:28,875
What goes on down here?

471
00:30:28,953 --> 00:30:31,737
That's need to know.
And you don't.

472
00:30:31,879 --> 00:30:34,465
-The lavatory?
-For the PM's use only.

473
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:38,448
Sleeping quarters, for when
you miss the last train.

474
00:30:40,341 --> 00:30:41,449
Ma'am.

475
00:30:43,325 --> 00:30:44,880
That's the Map Room.

476
00:30:45,633 --> 00:30:46,968
No women allowed.

477
00:30:47,032 --> 00:30:48,472
What department's this?

478
00:30:48,543 --> 00:30:50,618
Indiscretion in conversation,
or any other form,

479
00:30:50,643 --> 00:30:52,748
within or without these rooms
regarding what happens here

480
00:30:52,773 --> 00:30:54,254
is a statutory offense

481
00:30:54,304 --> 00:30:57,693
punishable by up to two years
imprisonment with hard labour.

482
00:30:58,467 --> 00:30:59,461
Clear?

483
00:30:59,546 --> 00:31:00,739
Crystal.

484
00:31:00,931 --> 00:31:02,188
Good.

485
00:31:03,396 --> 00:31:05,204
That's the War Cabinet room.

486
00:31:05,326 --> 00:31:06,554
Never.

487
00:31:08,423 --> 00:31:11,541
I don't mean to be
rough on you but

488
00:31:11,860 --> 00:31:13,302
them's the rules.

489
00:31:14,670 --> 00:31:16,950
This is the typists pool.

490
00:31:17,162 --> 00:31:18,086
-Morning, Sir.
-Morning, Sir.

491
00:31:18,135 --> 00:31:19,270
Ladies.

492
00:31:21,108 --> 00:31:22,656
And here's you.

493
00:31:30,405 --> 00:31:32,564
Belgium and Holland
may fall any hour.

494
00:31:33,288 --> 00:31:34,418
The French?

495
00:31:34,507 --> 00:31:37,128
The entire French ninth army,
some 200,000 men,

496
00:31:37,164 --> 00:31:38,500
have capitulated.

497
00:31:38,621 --> 00:31:39,807
All of them?

498
00:31:40,063 --> 00:31:41,213
Capitulated.

499
00:31:41,238 --> 00:31:43,422
Deserted.
It was a rout.

500
00:31:43,580 --> 00:31:46,283
All our land forces,
roughly 300,000 men,

501
00:31:46,308 --> 00:31:47,855
are now in full retreat.

502
00:31:48,015 --> 00:31:50,358
Air-cover? For our troops?

503
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:52,134
The Luftwaffe control the skies.

504
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,613
We simply don't have enough
planes to challenge them.

505
00:31:54,986 --> 00:31:56,946
In fact, I strongly
recommend we stop sending

506
00:31:56,971 --> 00:31:59,688
our precious fighter-planes
to be wasted in France.

507
00:32:00,007 --> 00:32:01,726
Save them for our own defence.

508
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:07,247
And our navy sits idle,
neutralized, useless.

509
00:32:07,408 --> 00:32:09,574
Our fleets no sooner
come within their range

510
00:32:09,632 --> 00:32:12,237
than we come under
blistering air attack.

511
00:32:13,507 --> 00:32:15,852
Their speed is devastating.

512
00:32:16,327 --> 00:32:19,339
Panzer tanks moving rapidly
westward, through the centre.

513
00:32:19,553 --> 00:32:23,388
But they will have to
pause for fuel supplies.

514
00:32:23,439 --> 00:32:25,101
This is not the last war, Sir.

515
00:32:25,144 --> 00:32:28,077
Their tanks can stop for
fuel at a petrol station.

516
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,761
Petrol station?

517
00:32:30,875 --> 00:32:32,764
The road to Paris now lies open.

518
00:32:33,467 --> 00:32:35,974
Seven million refugees
are on the move.

519
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,945
Collectively, we are
looking at the collapse

520
00:32:38,970 --> 00:32:41,104
of Western Europe in
the next few days.

521
00:32:41,921 --> 00:32:43,575
Should the public be told?

522
00:32:50,171 --> 00:32:51,613
Not yet.

523
00:32:52,367 --> 00:32:57,693
First, we must rouse our old
friends to an heroic resistance.

524
00:32:58,445 --> 00:33:01,563
France must be saved.

525
00:34:06,903 --> 00:34:08,238
Premier.

526
00:34:09,792 --> 00:34:17,121
<i>Although our situation
is very serious,</i>

527
00:34:18,896 --> 00:34:22,433
<i>this was not the first time</i>

528
00:34:22,989 --> 00:34:28,045
<i>that we face</i>

529
00:34:28,116 --> 00:34:30,183
<i>a crisis</i>

530
00:34:30,258 --> 00:34:32,055
<i>together.</i>

531
00:34:34,488 --> 00:34:37,549
Perhaps in English, Prime Minister.

532
00:34:39,014 --> 00:34:43,673
We have survived crises before,

533
00:34:43,698 --> 00:34:47,693
and I am, I am confident we
will survive this one.

534
00:34:47,816 --> 00:34:51,027
Tell me how you-you plan
to counter-attack.

535
00:34:52,674 --> 00:34:54,436
There is no plan.

536
00:34:58,223 --> 00:35:00,496
Well, you must counter-attack.

537
00:35:00,702 --> 00:35:02,733
Y-Y-You must.

538
00:35:03,385 --> 00:35:05,196
<i>Vous devez</i>

539
00:35:06,751 --> 00:35:09,060
<i>contrattaquer!</i>

540
00:35:09,376 --> 00:35:11,208
You must!

541
00:35:11,419 --> 00:35:13,827
I do not believe that this...

542
00:35:13,983 --> 00:35:15,332
this uh...

543
00:35:15,610 --> 00:35:19,077
Panzer breakthrough
is a real invasion.

544
00:35:19,189 --> 00:35:20,780
Not a real invasion?

545
00:35:20,851 --> 00:35:21,802
No!

546
00:35:21,864 --> 00:35:25,564
As long as their tank crews are
not supported by infantry units

547
00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:27,266
they are...

548
00:35:27,649 --> 00:35:31,362
merely little flags,
stuck on a map,

549
00:35:31,476 --> 00:35:34,736
because the tank crews
cannot support themselves.

550
00:35:34,869 --> 00:35:37,639
No, I-I refuse to see in this

551
00:35:37,664 --> 00:35:40,700
spectacular raid
of the German tank

552
00:35:40,725 --> 00:35:42,699
a real invasion.

553
00:35:54,879 --> 00:35:56,519
He's an actor.

554
00:35:56,654 --> 00:35:58,927
In love with the sound
of his own voice.

555
00:35:59,049 --> 00:36:00,527
I love to listen to him.

556
00:36:01,196 --> 00:36:03,306
But we must never
take his advice.

557
00:36:03,711 --> 00:36:05,912
Has a hundred ideas a day.

558
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,567
Four of them are good.

559
00:36:07,681 --> 00:36:09,946
The other 96
downright dangerous.

560
00:36:10,104 --> 00:36:13,371
His father was the same.
Great orator, but...

561
00:36:13,521 --> 00:36:15,766
Until he lost his mind to syphilis.

562
00:36:15,879 --> 00:36:19,061
How nations suffer
for the sins of their fathers.

563
00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:20,338
My opinion?

564
00:36:20,423 --> 00:36:23,179
At this critical
juncture for the empire,

565
00:36:24,187 --> 00:36:26,665
we have a
drunkard at the wheel.

566
00:36:26,807 --> 00:36:28,974
Wakes with a scotch,

567
00:36:29,461 --> 00:36:33,722
bottle of champagne for lunch,
another one at dinner,

568
00:36:34,167 --> 00:36:37,420
brandy and port until
the wee hours...

569
00:36:37,697 --> 00:36:40,481
I wouldn't let him
borrow my bicycle.

570
00:36:40,566 --> 00:36:43,088
He's a Conservative,
who defects to the Liberals...

571
00:36:43,213 --> 00:36:45,720
lobs grenades at us
for ten years...

572
00:36:45,797 --> 00:36:49,640
then flops Conservative again,
as it bloody suits him.

573
00:36:49,746 --> 00:36:52,828
Sorry, but he stands
for one thing.

574
00:36:52,921 --> 00:36:54,263
Himself.

575
00:36:54,677 --> 00:36:57,148
We might have to
replace him, Bertie.

576
00:36:58,608 --> 00:37:00,192
Replace him?

577
00:37:00,547 --> 00:37:02,436
We must strive for peace.

578
00:37:02,858 --> 00:37:05,188
So that every son
and daughter of this land

579
00:37:05,301 --> 00:37:09,279
can emerge from this crisis with
something recognisable as 'home.'

580
00:37:10,745 --> 00:37:13,259
Spoken like a true Prime Minister.

581
00:37:28,106 --> 00:37:30,308
"V for Victory"

582
00:37:31,783 --> 00:37:34,744
You need to reply
to the Lord Privy Seal.

583
00:37:36,584 --> 00:37:37,550
I...

584
00:37:37,699 --> 00:37:40,064
Tell the Lord Privy Seal...

585
00:37:40,136 --> 00:37:42,288
I am sealed in the Privy!

586
00:37:42,586 --> 00:37:44,658
And I can only deal with one

587
00:37:44,683 --> 00:37:46,413
shit at a time.

588
00:37:53,293 --> 00:37:55,900
The broadcast is tonight, so...

589
00:37:55,942 --> 00:37:57,690
don't spare me, Anthony.

590
00:37:57,810 --> 00:37:59,849
-Be frank.
-Mmm.

591
00:38:07,341 --> 00:38:09,074
I don't... think so.

592
00:38:09,401 --> 00:38:11,581
You don't think so, what?

593
00:38:11,652 --> 00:38:14,145
You're suggesting
we're somehow winning.

594
00:38:14,502 --> 00:38:15,780
We're not.

595
00:38:16,257 --> 00:38:20,205
No, but uh...
it will inspire them.

596
00:38:20,301 --> 00:38:22,723
-Winston, I know--
-A-Anthony, Anthony...

597
00:38:22,832 --> 00:38:25,339
I am going to imbue them

598
00:38:25,432 --> 00:38:30,388
with a-a spirit of feeling
they don't yet know they have.

599
00:38:30,413 --> 00:38:32,316
You asked my opinion.

600
00:38:32,813 --> 00:38:34,916
I caution against it.

601
00:38:36,844 --> 00:38:38,236
Cicero.

602
00:38:40,629 --> 00:38:42,710
Cicero!

603
00:38:44,453 --> 00:38:47,031
"and if fortune is
adverse enough,"

604
00:38:47,647 --> 00:38:49,458
uh, something...

605
00:38:49,586 --> 00:38:51,260
uh, something, something...

606
00:38:59,033 --> 00:39:01,519
No, it's not there...
I left it here.

607
00:39:02,428 --> 00:39:04,069
Clemmie!

608
00:39:04,740 --> 00:39:05,855
Cat!

609
00:39:06,025 --> 00:39:07,055
Clemmie!

610
00:39:07,155 --> 00:39:08,376
We cannot pay our bills.

611
00:39:08,476 --> 00:39:11,885
M-M-My copy of Cicero,
did you shelve it?

612
00:39:11,931 --> 00:39:12,937
Did you hear what I said?

613
00:39:13,008 --> 00:39:14,606
-What was that?
-We're broke.

614
00:39:15,021 --> 00:39:16,249
Oh, um,

615
00:39:16,356 --> 00:39:19,843
Out! Out, Come on!
Everybody out!

616
00:39:20,992 --> 00:39:22,753
I dare not write another cheque.

617
00:39:23,762 --> 00:39:25,623
Well, I'll economise.

618
00:39:25,738 --> 00:39:28,344
Only uh, four cigars a day.

619
00:39:28,401 --> 00:39:30,241
You are insufferable!

620
00:39:34,442 --> 00:39:35,920
There anything else?

621
00:39:36,425 --> 00:39:37,767
Yes!

622
00:39:37,931 --> 00:39:39,649
-My love for you!
-Oh!

623
00:39:39,770 --> 00:39:41,830
How much have you had
to drink this morning?

624
00:39:43,081 --> 00:39:45,687
I see you now

625
00:39:46,078 --> 00:39:48,394
as I first saw you

626
00:39:48,733 --> 00:39:51,339
in-in nineteen hundred and four

627
00:39:51,391 --> 00:39:54,200
and-and I simply
stood speechless.

628
00:39:54,225 --> 00:39:55,282
Well, I must have
been very beautiful

629
00:39:55,307 --> 00:39:57,108
to achieved that
miraculous effect.

630
00:39:57,133 --> 00:39:59,420
Four years until we saw
each other again.

631
00:39:59,445 --> 00:40:01,045
Went by in an absolute flash.

632
00:40:01,158 --> 00:40:02,948
You didn't lack for admirers.

633
00:40:03,024 --> 00:40:07,101
Your fidèle serviteur
in Sidney Peel.

634
00:40:07,126 --> 00:40:08,054
Brilliant man.

635
00:40:08,082 --> 00:40:09,119
Lionel Earle.

636
00:40:09,197 --> 00:40:11,051
Hm. Wonderful dancer.

637
00:40:11,824 --> 00:40:14,843
And then at Lady St. Hellier's
dinner party...

638
00:40:15,035 --> 00:40:17,094
who should show up?

639
00:40:18,090 --> 00:40:18,921
Pig.

640
00:40:21,564 --> 00:40:22,800
Just the same.

641
00:40:33,977 --> 00:40:35,560
Are we terribly old?

642
00:40:36,491 --> 00:40:38,139
Yes, I'm afraid you are.

643
00:40:38,408 --> 00:40:40,028
Oh, you beast!

644
00:40:44,858 --> 00:40:46,065
Would you...

645
00:40:46,115 --> 00:40:49,659
Would you hear me read my speech
for tonight's broadcast?

646
00:40:50,505 --> 00:40:51,514
Prime Minister...

647
00:40:51,727 --> 00:40:53,474
Prime Minister,
the situation in France...

648
00:40:53,532 --> 00:40:55,420
Is it true we're
in full retreat?

649
00:40:55,528 --> 00:40:57,069
Is France lost?

650
00:41:04,688 --> 00:41:08,941
"The Spanish ships I cannot see
for they are out of sight."

651
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:11,387
If you will sit here.

652
00:41:12,125 --> 00:41:14,021
At your desk.

653
00:41:15,816 --> 00:41:18,188
And speak slowly and clearly.

654
00:41:19,289 --> 00:41:20,745
Into the microphone.

655
00:41:21,347 --> 00:41:22,405
So...

656
00:41:22,767 --> 00:41:24,152
if you're ready?

657
00:41:24,507 --> 00:41:26,425
On the stroke of nine...

658
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,045
the red light will come on and
we shall go live to the nation.

659
00:41:31,953 --> 00:41:33,324
Nine o'clock.

660
00:41:33,636 --> 00:41:34,900
Red light.

661
00:41:36,037 --> 00:41:37,457
You begin.

662
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:38,771
Yes?

663
00:41:39,581 --> 00:41:41,214
Uh, one moment.

664
00:41:47,915 --> 00:41:49,101
Prime Minister...

665
00:41:49,627 --> 00:41:50,820
Are we ready?

666
00:41:50,976 --> 00:41:52,290
You should--

667
00:41:52,475 --> 00:41:54,513
Uh, one moment, one moment...

668
00:42:00,321 --> 00:42:02,139
We are going... live.

669
00:42:02,164 --> 00:42:04,263
One moment! Damn you!

670
00:42:10,444 --> 00:42:12,660
And four...

671
00:42:13,043 --> 00:42:14,286
three...

672
00:42:14,428 --> 00:42:15,494
two...

673
00:42:15,622 --> 00:42:16,637
one.

674
00:42:36,737 --> 00:42:40,516
I speak to you
for the first time

675
00:42:40,631 --> 00:42:44,736
as Prime Minister
in a solemn hour

676
00:42:44,857 --> 00:42:47,783
for the life of our country,

677
00:42:47,886 --> 00:42:51,969
of our Empire, of our allies,

678
00:42:52,132 --> 00:42:56,599
and, above all,
of the cause of Freedom.

679
00:42:57,017 --> 00:43:03,132
A tremendous battle is raging
in France and Flanders.

680
00:43:03,818 --> 00:43:05,558
The Germans...

681
00:43:05,835 --> 00:43:08,697
by a remarkable
combination

682
00:43:08,793 --> 00:43:12,962
of air bombing and
heavily armored tanks,

683
00:43:13,266 --> 00:43:16,085
have broken through
the French defences

684
00:43:16,190 --> 00:43:18,959
north of the Maginot Line,

685
00:43:19,762 --> 00:43:23,029
<i>and strong columns of
their armoured vehicles</i>

686
00:43:23,113 --> 00:43:25,564
<i>are ravaging the open country...</i>

687
00:43:25,954 --> 00:43:31,345
<i>which for the first day or two
was without defenders.</i>

688
00:43:31,598 --> 00:43:33,040
<i>However...</i>

689
00:43:33,516 --> 00:43:36,705
<i>I have invincible confidence</i>

690
00:43:37,261 --> 00:43:40,301
<i>in the French Army
and its leaders.</i>

691
00:43:40,727 --> 00:43:44,768
Only a very small part
of that splendid Army

692
00:43:44,793 --> 00:43:46,969
has yet been heavily engaged...

693
00:43:47,285 --> 00:43:50,360
and only a very small
part of France

694
00:43:50,552 --> 00:43:52,882
has yet been invaded.

695
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,742
<i>Side by side, the British
and French peoples</i>

696
00:43:57,821 --> 00:43:58,979
<i>have advanced.</i>

697
00:43:59,113 --> 00:44:00,463
"Advanced"?

698
00:44:01,421 --> 00:44:04,617
How bloody dare he!

699
00:44:05,249 --> 00:44:10,462
From the foulest and most
soul-destroying tyranny

700
00:44:11,104 --> 00:44:15,863
<i>which has ever darkened and
stained the pages of history.</i>

701
00:44:16,036 --> 00:44:20,184
<i>But now one bond unites us all</i>

702
00:44:20,250 --> 00:44:24,440
<i>to wage war
until victory is won,</i>

703
00:44:25,396 --> 00:44:27,789
<i>and never to surrender ourselves</i>

704
00:44:28,453 --> 00:44:31,657
<i>to servitude and shame...</i>

705
00:44:31,802 --> 00:44:36,652
<i>whatever the cost
and the agony may be...</i>

706
00:44:37,061 --> 00:44:43,623
Conquer we must,
as conquer we shall.

707
00:44:49,710 --> 00:44:51,187
Well done, sir.

708
00:45:57,466 --> 00:46:00,761
Oh, I thought
you did marvellously.

709
00:46:01,294 --> 00:46:05,641
For the last ten years I was the
only one who told them the truth.

710
00:46:06,054 --> 00:46:07,574
Until tonight.

711
00:46:09,098 --> 00:46:10,980
There is no advance.

712
00:46:12,969 --> 00:46:14,638
It's a shambles.

713
00:46:15,742 --> 00:46:18,029
We're in full retreat.

714
00:46:19,904 --> 00:46:21,644
But would you be
serving them tonight

715
00:46:21,669 --> 00:46:23,564
by denying them
their sleep and

716
00:46:23,589 --> 00:46:25,399
and terrifying their children?

717
00:46:25,594 --> 00:46:27,582
Well, even if the terror is coming?

718
00:46:27,625 --> 00:46:29,670
<i>Because</i> the terror is coming.

719
00:46:31,325 --> 00:46:33,256
There's time enough
for the truth.

720
00:46:34,463 --> 00:46:35,394
Hm.

721
00:46:43,379 --> 00:46:45,005
Have you seen this?

722
00:46:49,256 --> 00:46:50,484
What's so funny?

723
00:46:51,869 --> 00:46:53,304
Prime Minister...

724
00:46:53,425 --> 00:46:55,165
-Sir...
-Yes, what is it?

725
00:46:55,820 --> 00:46:57,951
Um... perhaps...

726
00:47:00,445 --> 00:47:01,461
Um...

727
00:47:01,987 --> 00:47:03,102
Look, I'm...

728
00:47:03,435 --> 00:47:05,566
I'm not sure if
you know this, but um...

729
00:47:06,387 --> 00:47:09,058
But the way you're doing
the V for Victory sign...

730
00:47:10,202 --> 00:47:14,691
Well, in the poorer quarters,
that gesture means something else.

731
00:47:14,791 --> 00:47:17,646
-What does it mean?
-Well, I wouldn't like to say, sir.

732
00:47:17,671 --> 00:47:19,828
I was captured by the Boer.

733
00:47:19,863 --> 00:47:22,825
I spent time in a
South African prison.

734
00:47:22,924 --> 00:47:24,366
Up yer' bum.

735
00:47:25,550 --> 00:47:26,729
Sir.

736
00:47:27,288 --> 00:47:29,248
Up yer' bum?

737
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:30,796
Up yer'...

738
00:47:33,845 --> 00:47:36,459
The way you were doing it, sir.
Yes, sir.

739
00:47:36,588 --> 00:47:40,175
But if you turn it
around that's fine.

740
00:47:41,672 --> 00:47:45,046
Wouldn't like millions of people
to take it the wrong way.

741
00:47:45,331 --> 00:47:46,753
Indeed!

742
00:47:49,317 --> 00:47:51,284
Up yer' bum!

743
00:47:52,344 --> 00:47:53,615
Your Majesty.

744
00:47:54,056 --> 00:47:56,321
<i>Don't want to take
too much of your time.</i>

745
00:47:56,693 --> 00:47:59,186
<i>I heard you on the wireless.</i>

746
00:48:00,052 --> 00:48:02,090
Was I comprehensible?

747
00:48:02,513 --> 00:48:05,481
The public need to be led,

748
00:48:05,574 --> 00:48:09,686
not misled, not left to work
it out for themselves.

749
00:48:12,893 --> 00:48:17,175
Right... will that be all,
Your Majesty?

750
00:48:17,362 --> 00:48:19,507
<i>Yes. Good day, Prime Minister.</i>

751
00:48:19,848 --> 00:48:21,176
Good day.

752
00:48:24,777 --> 00:48:28,690
I believe I've just received
a royal rap on the knuckles.

753
00:48:34,703 --> 00:48:37,182
As of 20:00 hours last night,

754
00:48:37,215 --> 00:48:40,098
the Germans have
encircled sixty British,

755
00:48:40,141 --> 00:48:42,705
Belgian and French divisions.

756
00:48:43,366 --> 00:48:46,398
On our part, all our forces
under Lord Gort

757
00:48:46,476 --> 00:48:49,573
have withdrawn, or are trying to
withdraw, to the French coast,

758
00:48:49,598 --> 00:48:52,506
to Dunkirk, where we
cannot reach them.

759
00:48:52,541 --> 00:48:54,508
How many of our men
are trapped?

760
00:48:54,587 --> 00:48:55,886
All of them.

761
00:48:56,243 --> 00:48:58,757
Our country's entire
professional soldiery.

762
00:48:59,077 --> 00:49:01,641
And we can see no
clear way to rescue them.

763
00:49:04,705 --> 00:49:09,926
General, are you telling
me that we shall have lost

764
00:49:09,951 --> 00:49:13,739
the entire British Army
by the next few days?

765
00:49:14,267 --> 00:49:15,666
That's correct.

766
00:49:16,069 --> 00:49:19,606
The German force is
superior in every regard

767
00:49:19,634 --> 00:49:21,815
and only fifty miles
from the coast.

768
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,705
They are pushing
us into the sea.

769
00:49:23,730 --> 00:49:27,815
The Germans must not
reach the sea!

770
00:49:27,881 --> 00:49:31,469
Not-not before we
evacuate o-our men!

771
00:49:31,568 --> 00:49:33,429
Ismay, what have you got for us?

772
00:49:33,544 --> 00:49:35,944
As it stands, I cannot see
we have much hope of getting

773
00:49:35,969 --> 00:49:38,714
<i>any</i> of our forces out in time.

774
00:49:39,925 --> 00:49:41,850
Not a man?

775
00:49:43,249 --> 00:49:47,936
Well, we cannot be so
totally at their mercy.

776
00:49:47,961 --> 00:49:49,698
What's our next step?

777
00:49:50,066 --> 00:49:51,458
Anyone!

778
00:49:52,317 --> 00:49:53,993
Come on! Speak!

779
00:49:56,549 --> 00:49:59,439
We still have a garrison at Calais.
25 miles to the west.

780
00:49:59,497 --> 00:50:02,494
-How many men do we have there?
-4,000. More or less.

781
00:50:05,386 --> 00:50:07,900
Well, why-why didn't you say so?!

782
00:50:08,376 --> 00:50:12,005
Yes. Then we uh,
we have them go east

783
00:50:12,030 --> 00:50:14,528
engage with the German
columns moving on Dunkirk.

784
00:50:14,553 --> 00:50:15,934
Buy us some time.

785
00:50:15,959 --> 00:50:19,346
Draw the-the Nazi focus
away from Dunkirk

786
00:50:19,378 --> 00:50:23,592
whilst we execute a-a maritime
evacuation of our forces.

787
00:50:23,617 --> 00:50:25,363
Is that uh, possible?

788
00:50:25,388 --> 00:50:28,866
-It would mean a huge sacrifice.
-<i>4,000</i> young men!

789
00:50:28,891 --> 00:50:32,087
To save 300,000!

790
00:50:32,112 --> 00:50:34,596
Under whose command
is the uh, Calais Garrison?

791
00:50:34,621 --> 00:50:37,461
-Brigadier Nicholson.
-Very well.

792
00:50:38,829 --> 00:50:42,756
Tell Nicholson it is of the greatest
importance to this island that

793
00:50:42,847 --> 00:50:45,867
that his garrison draw
the enemy's tanks

794
00:50:45,892 --> 00:50:48,275
and artillery and bombers
away from Dunkirk.

795
00:50:48,300 --> 00:50:50,907
Invite their wrath and...

796
00:50:52,029 --> 00:50:53,982
well, and to fight on...

797
00:50:55,154 --> 00:50:56,809
if needs be...

798
00:51:00,216 --> 00:51:04,151
i-i-if needs be until
the destruction of his command.

799
00:51:06,542 --> 00:51:08,275
It's suicide.

800
00:51:20,173 --> 00:51:21,871
Prime Minister.

801
00:51:22,233 --> 00:51:24,079
I have reservations...

802
00:51:24,881 --> 00:51:26,892
Who is free of reservations?

803
00:51:27,092 --> 00:51:29,330
about unnecessary sacrifice

804
00:51:29,429 --> 00:51:31,482
when there is an
available alternative.

805
00:51:33,265 --> 00:51:34,614
What alternative?

806
00:51:34,963 --> 00:51:37,165
Italy has offered
to mediate peace talks

807
00:51:37,307 --> 00:51:39,281
between ourselves and Germany.

808
00:51:39,346 --> 00:51:41,473
I have already indicated
that provided the liberty

809
00:51:41,498 --> 00:51:43,690
and independence of the
British Empire is assured,

810
00:51:43,786 --> 00:51:46,045
we would consider any proposal.

811
00:51:46,175 --> 00:51:51,068
With uh, with Hitler holding the-
the whip hand

812
00:51:51,095 --> 00:51:54,145
do you really think he would honour
our liberty and independence?

813
00:51:54,181 --> 00:51:56,482
It would be in his
interest to do so, Sir.

814
00:51:56,546 --> 00:51:59,898
-Because he--
-The only thing to do is to show

815
00:51:59,927 --> 00:52:04,550
that maniac that he cannot conquer
this island, and for that

816
00:52:04,575 --> 00:52:06,845
we need an army.
General, tell Brigadier Nicholson,

817
00:52:06,870 --> 00:52:08,748
The Germans must
not reach the sea.

818
00:52:08,773 --> 00:52:13,591
Not before w-we get our boys
off that bloody beach!

819
00:52:13,668 --> 00:52:15,593
I take full responsibility.

820
00:52:15,665 --> 00:52:16,624
Really?

821
00:52:16,689 --> 00:52:18,784
Really! Yes! Sir!

822
00:52:18,809 --> 00:52:20,751
It is the reason

823
00:52:20,776 --> 00:52:23,514
I sit in this chair!

824
00:52:25,734 --> 00:52:28,312
Well, surely before you
take full responsibility

825
00:52:28,337 --> 00:52:31,444
for the deaths of 4,000
men, you'd wish to consider

826
00:52:31,505 --> 00:52:34,005
every available avenue.

827
00:52:36,648 --> 00:52:38,246
What is this?

828
00:52:39,424 --> 00:52:42,095
What is your mind on the
principle of peace talks, Sir?

829
00:52:46,210 --> 00:52:48,482
Do we take it for example, that

830
00:52:48,526 --> 00:52:50,734
you preclude yourself
from even considering

831
00:52:50,759 --> 00:52:53,277
taking part in
such negotiations?

832
00:53:12,859 --> 00:53:15,756
I should like to speak to Viscount

833
00:53:15,842 --> 00:53:18,633
Halifax and uh, Mr. Chamberlain.

834
00:53:19,279 --> 00:53:20,756
Alone.

835
00:53:21,276 --> 00:53:24,344
Issue the order
to the Calais Garrison.

836
00:53:25,125 --> 00:53:27,206
Confirm it has been done.

837
00:53:27,861 --> 00:53:29,111
Dismissed.

838
00:53:30,874 --> 00:53:33,175
You too. Come on. Out.

839
00:53:35,635 --> 00:53:38,128
Bridges! You! Come on, hop it!

840
00:53:38,270 --> 00:53:40,124
Out! Out!

841
00:54:48,636 --> 00:54:49,964
Winston.

842
00:54:51,228 --> 00:54:53,686
We are facing
certain defeat on land,

843
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,334
the annihilation of our army,

844
00:54:56,469 --> 00:54:58,408
and imminent invasion.

845
00:54:59,406 --> 00:55:01,167
We must be rational.

846
00:55:01,721 --> 00:55:04,065
We are a sea-going nation.

847
00:55:04,152 --> 00:55:07,078
Have been since the Bronze Age.

848
00:55:07,837 --> 00:55:12,474
The Channel is ours.
It's our moat, our battlement.

849
00:55:12,517 --> 00:55:15,571
And the German doesn't
recognise an expanse of water

850
00:55:15,596 --> 00:55:17,624
greater than a bloody lake!

851
00:55:17,666 --> 00:55:21,153
They have first to reach
this island, Edward.

852
00:55:21,185 --> 00:55:22,639
Where men, women and children

853
00:55:22,664 --> 00:55:24,730
whom we will have
failed despicably

854
00:55:24,755 --> 00:55:26,418
in our duty of protection.

855
00:55:26,443 --> 00:55:29,369
-We'll be entirely defenceless.
-And whose fault is that?!

856
00:55:29,394 --> 00:55:32,361
against the largest army
the world has ever seen.

857
00:55:32,386 --> 00:55:34,056
Furthermore, once France falls,

858
00:55:34,081 --> 00:55:36,727
Germany can concentrate
on aircraft production.

859
00:55:36,812 --> 00:55:39,220
They will then have the
French fleet as well.

860
00:55:39,245 --> 00:55:41,366
What is to stop Herr Hitler then?

861
00:55:41,417 --> 00:55:45,209
Winston? Words? Words?
Words alone?

862
00:55:47,106 --> 00:55:50,146
If you will not permit any talk
of peace, then I shall be forced--

863
00:55:50,171 --> 00:55:53,902
Might we not allow Edward
simply to meet

864
00:55:54,092 --> 00:55:56,677
the Italian ambassador,
Bastianini...

865
00:55:56,703 --> 00:56:01,856
Discuss their possible role as
mediators between us and Germany...

866
00:56:03,222 --> 00:56:05,076
and find out their price?

867
00:56:21,542 --> 00:56:22,456
Sir.

868
00:56:42,797 --> 00:56:44,317
Mr. President.

869
00:56:44,445 --> 00:56:45,482
<i>Winston!</i>

870
00:56:45,574 --> 00:56:46,945
Franklin!

871
00:56:47,925 --> 00:56:49,360
How are you?

872
00:56:49,385 --> 00:56:52,448
<i>Fine. Fine.
How are you, Prime Minister?</i>

873
00:56:52,659 --> 00:56:54,084
Oh, I'm fine, Franklin.

874
00:56:56,613 --> 00:56:57,842
Uh, listen...

875
00:56:57,984 --> 00:57:02,710
I'm uh, telephoning about your
uh, Navy ships.

876
00:57:02,802 --> 00:57:05,629
I-If you could loan us just uh,

877
00:57:05,997 --> 00:57:09,698
-fifty older destroyers...
<i>-Ah, yes.</i>

878
00:57:09,727 --> 00:57:12,490
or e-even forty would do.

879
00:57:12,626 --> 00:57:16,319
<i>Well, I uh, I did ask around.</i>

880
00:57:16,759 --> 00:57:20,118
<i>But just not possible, I'm afraid.</i>

881
00:57:20,302 --> 00:57:24,975
<i>The Neutrality Act we signed
last year has tied my hands.</i>

882
00:57:25,159 --> 00:57:27,872
<i>Just can't swing it.
I tried.</i>

883
00:57:27,945 --> 00:57:30,495
Uh, well, can I, uh, um...

884
00:57:31,980 --> 00:57:35,503
Do I have your permission

885
00:57:36,247 --> 00:57:38,563
to send an aircraft carrier

886
00:57:38,599 --> 00:57:41,880
to pick up the P-40 fighter
planes we purchased from you?

887
00:57:45,968 --> 00:57:47,424
Mr. President?

888
00:57:48,433 --> 00:57:50,301
<i>You've got me there, again.</i>

889
00:57:50,793 --> 00:57:55,125
<i>New law preventing trans-shipment
of military equipment.</i>

890
00:57:55,190 --> 00:57:57,441
But we paid for them!

891
00:57:57,664 --> 00:58:00,314
W-We paid for them
with the money that we

892
00:58:00,339 --> 00:58:01,778
that we borrowed from you.

893
00:58:02,009 --> 00:58:05,241
<i>I'm so, so sorry, Winston.</i>

894
00:58:09,702 --> 00:58:13,047
I need not impress upon you the

895
00:58:13,622 --> 00:58:17,934
trouble faced by the
Western Hemisphere.

896
00:58:19,062 --> 00:58:23,394
Without your support,
in some fashion...

897
00:58:23,461 --> 00:58:28,000
<i>I know. I know. You are
on my mind day and night.</i>

898
00:58:30,317 --> 00:58:34,167
<i>Look, we could, possibly...</i>

899
00:58:34,332 --> 00:58:36,179
Uh, Mr. President...

900
00:58:36,328 --> 00:58:37,898
<i>I-I mean to say...</i>

901
00:58:37,944 --> 00:58:43,107
we are facing the gravest odds.

902
00:58:43,132 --> 00:58:47,535
<i>we could take your planes to about
a mile from the Canadian border.</i>

903
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:53,062
<i>And then if you send across
a team of horses from Canada,</i>

904
00:58:53,156 --> 00:58:54,768
<i>nothing motorized,</i>

905
00:58:54,862 --> 00:58:57,667
<i>then you could pull 'em
over the border yourself.</i>

906
00:58:59,623 --> 00:59:01,236
<i>How does that sound?</i>

907
00:59:04,654 --> 00:59:06,011
Horses?

908
00:59:06,529 --> 00:59:07,424
Um.

909
00:59:07,669 --> 00:59:12,712
Y-You did say uh, "a team of horses"?

910
00:59:13,312 --> 00:59:16,146
<i>Well, I guess you could
push 'em yourself.</i>

911
00:59:16,659 --> 00:59:18,790
<i>Damn things have wheels.</i>

912
00:59:21,454 --> 00:59:22,712
<i>Up to you.</i>

913
00:59:26,416 --> 00:59:28,859
<i>We could do that, Prime Minister.</i>

914
00:59:32,596 --> 00:59:34,024
<i>Prime Minister?</i>

915
00:59:38,027 --> 00:59:43,233
<i>A-Anything you can do at this time,
Franklin, would be most welcome.</i>

916
00:59:44,065 --> 00:59:46,239
<i>Goodnight to you, Winston.</i>

917
00:59:46,935 --> 00:59:48,561
<i>It must be late there.</i>

918
00:59:49,874 --> 00:59:54,554
<i>In more ways than you
could possibly know.</i>

919
01:00:29,227 --> 01:00:30,435
Prime Minister?

920
01:00:30,825 --> 01:00:31,891
Prime Minister?

921
01:00:39,941 --> 01:00:42,554
Give me Admiral Ramsay
on one of these.

922
01:00:43,449 --> 01:00:44,578
Yes, Prime Minister.

923
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,662
Putting through
to Admiral Ramsay.

924
01:01:07,295 --> 01:01:10,022
Admiral Ramsay.
It's the Prime Minister.

925
01:01:11,549 --> 01:01:12,692
Bertie?

926
01:01:13,431 --> 01:01:16,620
Bertie? I uh, I hope
I didn't wake you.

927
01:01:16,812 --> 01:01:19,738
Not at all, I was just
reading the Bible.

928
01:01:20,278 --> 01:01:21,478
Exodus?

929
01:01:22,458 --> 01:01:24,198
Uh, listen, Bertie.

930
01:01:24,391 --> 01:01:27,076
We need to evacuate our boys.

931
01:01:27,229 --> 01:01:31,263
The Navy is saying that with one
cruiser and six destroyers,

932
01:01:31,288 --> 01:01:34,931
and with the Luftwaffe
controlling the skies above,

933
01:01:34,974 --> 01:01:37,353
we'll be lucky to get
ten percent out.

934
01:01:37,435 --> 01:01:42,577
I want you to order
an assembly of boats.

935
01:01:44,537 --> 01:01:45,546
Boats?

936
01:01:45,596 --> 01:01:48,643
Yes, um... civilian boats,

937
01:01:48,710 --> 01:01:51,953
as many as you can
get your hands on.

938
01:01:52,081 --> 01:01:54,730
<i>Longley's clipper,
Fearnley's gin palace,</i>

939
01:01:54,772 --> 01:01:57,407
<i>A-Anyone with a pleasure
craft bigger than 30 foot</i>

940
01:01:57,432 --> 01:01:58,970
<i>that can get to France.</i>

941
01:02:01,557 --> 01:02:03,291
<i>That's a use to them.</i>

942
01:02:04,551 --> 01:02:05,676
Right.

943
01:02:07,398 --> 01:02:10,765
Help me stage this thing, Bertie.

944
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,393
We must at least try to bring
some of our boys home.

945
01:02:16,276 --> 01:02:18,901
Well, I'll have the
BBC issue the order.

946
01:02:19,051 --> 01:02:19,942
Good.

947
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,098
Oh, a-and Bertie, you still there?

948
01:02:23,621 --> 01:02:24,785
<i>Sir.</i>

949
01:02:24,887 --> 01:02:28,395
We need a name
for this operation.

950
01:02:31,455 --> 01:02:32,799
Good morning, Prime Minister.

951
01:02:32,868 --> 01:02:33,899
Prime Minister, do you
have anything you'd like

952
01:02:33,924 --> 01:02:35,266
to say to our readers
this morning?

953
01:02:35,291 --> 01:02:36,923
Prime Minister?
Mr. Churchill, sir?

954
01:02:36,948 --> 01:02:38,563
Prime Minister, do you have
anything you'd like to say?

955
01:02:38,623 --> 01:02:39,567
Prime Minister?

956
01:02:39,592 --> 01:02:40,967
Prime Minister, are you--

957
01:02:40,998 --> 01:02:42,857
Prime Minister, would you like to--
Prime Minister?

958
01:02:49,587 --> 01:02:52,408
How do you manage
drinking during the day?

959
01:02:56,477 --> 01:02:57,860
Practice.

960
01:03:16,386 --> 01:03:20,097
I... should like to discuss...

961
01:03:20,691 --> 01:03:24,191
I have been asked if
plans should be drawn to...

962
01:03:24,245 --> 01:03:26,777
evacuate myself and my family...

963
01:03:26,886 --> 01:03:28,433
to Canada.

964
01:03:29,379 --> 01:03:32,137
I would like to know the
opinion of our Prime Minister.

965
01:03:33,601 --> 01:03:35,491
Well, my opinion would
be that you must

966
01:03:35,516 --> 01:03:38,453
do what you feel is
right for yourself,

967
01:03:38,671 --> 01:03:42,186
or your family, and the nation.

968
01:03:43,195 --> 01:03:45,875
Your survival is paramount.

969
01:03:46,742 --> 01:03:48,274
Prime Ministers...

970
01:03:48,696 --> 01:03:52,274
we seem to come and go
at an astonishing rate.

971
01:03:52,611 --> 01:03:55,877
Your position in parliament, I...

972
01:03:56,244 --> 01:03:58,775
I'm told is not strong.

973
01:04:00,124 --> 01:04:01,994
My party...

974
01:04:02,460 --> 01:04:08,390
resents the way Chamberlain
was pushed aside.

975
01:04:08,454 --> 01:04:10,345
And many others
doubt me.

976
01:04:10,454 --> 01:04:12,071
They want Halifax still.

977
01:04:12,134 --> 01:04:16,040
But why get rid of the organ grinder
and replace him with the monkey.

978
01:04:16,097 --> 01:04:19,199
Lord Halifax is a close
personal friend of mine!

979
01:04:24,964 --> 01:04:27,198
I am unwanted.

980
01:04:29,217 --> 01:04:33,186
I-I've never been trusted since
the Gallipoli campaign.

981
01:04:34,413 --> 01:04:36,046
Unwanted.

982
01:04:36,499 --> 01:04:38,679
Perhaps it's because
you scare people.

983
01:04:38,962 --> 01:04:40,048
Who?

984
01:04:40,196 --> 01:04:41,555
You scare me.

985
01:04:42,391 --> 01:04:43,907
What nonsense.

986
01:04:46,054 --> 01:04:49,319
What could possibly
be scary about me?

987
01:04:49,476 --> 01:04:52,460
One never knows what's going to
come out of your mouth next.

988
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:56,569
Something that'll flatter,
something that'll wound.

989
01:05:01,310 --> 01:05:05,068
My e-emotions are unbridled.

990
01:05:06,795 --> 01:05:09,241
A wildness. In the blood.

991
01:05:09,473 --> 01:05:12,785
I share with my father.

992
01:05:13,746 --> 01:05:16,028
And my mother also.

993
01:05:16,617 --> 01:05:19,797
We lack...
the gift of temperance.

994
01:05:22,008 --> 01:05:23,672
Were you close to your parents?

995
01:05:24,157 --> 01:05:27,626
My mother was glamorous.

996
01:05:28,657 --> 01:05:31,509
But perhaps too widely loved.

997
01:05:32,787 --> 01:05:35,826
My father was like God.

998
01:05:36,279 --> 01:05:38,146
Busy elsewhere.

999
01:05:39,350 --> 01:05:40,498
Hm.

1000
01:06:21,613 --> 01:06:23,355
-Good day, gentlemen.
-Prime Minister.

1001
01:06:23,379 --> 01:06:25,050
I've asked...

1002
01:06:25,097 --> 01:06:29,128
the Minister for War...
to join us.

1003
01:06:29,956 --> 01:06:31,628
Neville, would you uh...

1004
01:06:32,062 --> 01:06:33,422
Anthony.

1005
01:06:35,414 --> 01:06:40,219
Obviously, we are in a
dangerous situation.

1006
01:06:40,619 --> 01:06:44,080
But I am assured by the
French Premier that while some...

1007
01:06:44,525 --> 01:06:48,244
German tank units
have reached the sea,

1008
01:06:48,610 --> 01:06:51,158
the situation generally
seems to be well in hand.

1009
01:06:51,549 --> 01:06:53,893
What news from Calais?

1010
01:06:53,918 --> 01:06:55,776
The Garrison attacked,
but was forced back

1011
01:06:55,801 --> 01:06:58,058
and is now surrounded
on all sides.

1012
01:06:58,753 --> 01:07:01,293
They're being shelled
and bombed mercilessly.

1013
01:07:01,558 --> 01:07:03,457
Casualties are at sixty percent.

1014
01:07:07,345 --> 01:07:08,329
Hm.

1015
01:07:14,642 --> 01:07:18,680
Prime Minister...
the question of peace talks.

1016
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,493
We must hold our nerve.

1017
01:07:21,855 --> 01:07:26,386
Signal only that we intend
to fight it out until the end.

1018
01:07:26,562 --> 01:07:28,345
A peace offer...

1019
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,798
-telegraphs our weakness.
-Agreed.

1020
01:07:30,860 --> 01:07:32,000
And even if we were beaten,

1021
01:07:32,025 --> 01:07:33,703
we should be no worse
off than we should be

1022
01:07:33,728 --> 01:07:36,079
if we were now to
abandon the struggle.

1023
01:07:36,245 --> 01:07:39,346
Let us therefore avoid
being dragged down the

1024
01:07:39,401 --> 01:07:43,612
slippery slope with talk
of a negotiated peace.

1025
01:07:43,637 --> 01:07:45,697
Slippery slope? The only--

1026
01:07:45,721 --> 01:07:47,924
I suspect Italy and Germany--

1027
01:07:47,949 --> 01:07:49,742
-The only slippery slope--
-want to get us so deeply...

1028
01:07:49,767 --> 01:07:53,906
involved in negotiations that we
should be unable to turn back!

1029
01:07:53,931 --> 01:07:55,740
Nonsense. Bastianini informed me--

1030
01:07:55,765 --> 01:07:57,693
-I propose--
-The only slippery slope--

1031
01:07:57,718 --> 01:08:01,607
Would you stop interrupting me
while I am interrupting you!?

1032
01:08:04,805 --> 01:08:07,430
When I chose my War Cabinet,
I took great care

1033
01:08:07,455 --> 01:08:10,446
to surround myself
with old rivals.

1034
01:08:11,258 --> 01:08:13,250
I may have overdone it.

1035
01:08:13,813 --> 01:08:15,540
Viscount Halifax,

1036
01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:21,086
the approach you proposed
it's-it's not only-it's futile...

1037
01:08:21,508 --> 01:08:23,988
but it involves us in
a deadly danger.

1038
01:08:24,028 --> 01:08:27,840
The deadly danger here
is this romantic fantasy

1039
01:08:27,879 --> 01:08:30,114
of fighting to the end.

1040
01:08:31,526 --> 01:08:33,599
What is "the end"

1041
01:08:33,662 --> 01:08:36,654
if not the destruction
of all things?

1042
01:08:37,215 --> 01:08:41,027
There's nothing heroic in going
down fighting if it can be avoided.

1043
01:08:41,078 --> 01:08:44,445
Nothing even remotely
patriotic in death or glory

1044
01:08:44,500 --> 01:08:46,836
if the odds are
firmly on the former.

1045
01:08:46,945 --> 01:08:50,093
Nothing inglorious in
trying to shorten a war

1046
01:08:50,118 --> 01:08:52,695
-we are clearly losing.
-Losing?!

1047
01:08:52,791 --> 01:08:55,682
-Europe is still--
-Europe is lost!

1048
01:09:02,835 --> 01:09:06,256
And before our forces are
wiped out completely...

1049
01:09:06,965 --> 01:09:08,972
now is the time to negotiate,

1050
01:09:09,035 --> 01:09:11,879
in order to obtain the
best conditions possible.

1051
01:09:13,481 --> 01:09:16,106
Hitler will not insist
on outrageous terms.

1052
01:09:16,215 --> 01:09:17,879
He will know his own weaknesses.

1053
01:09:18,278 --> 01:09:21,278
-He will be reasonable.
-When will the lesson be learned?

1054
01:09:21,446 --> 01:09:24,337
When will the lesson be learned?

1055
01:09:25,063 --> 01:09:30,188
How many more dictators
must be w-wooed?!

1056
01:09:30,291 --> 01:09:31,291
Appeased?!

1057
01:09:31,330 --> 01:09:33,385
Good God, given
immense privileges,

1058
01:09:33,410 --> 01:09:35,236
before we learn!

1059
01:09:35,478 --> 01:09:38,587
You cannot reason with a tiger

1060
01:09:38,650 --> 01:09:41,329
when your head is in its mouth!

1061
01:09:43,027 --> 01:09:44,504
Prime Minister!

1062
01:09:44,957 --> 01:09:47,980
Winston! Winston!

1063
01:09:48,355 --> 01:09:51,284
-Yesterday you gave permission.
-What permission?

1064
01:09:51,443 --> 01:09:53,201
For me to meet Bastianini.

1065
01:09:53,255 --> 01:09:55,099
I sanctioned the theoretical

1066
01:09:55,124 --> 01:09:56,395
-exploration...
-Theoretical?

1067
01:09:56,420 --> 01:09:58,996
of what price Italy would ask.
Nothing more.

1068
01:09:59,021 --> 01:10:00,356
-I did not sanction--
-If you will not permit further

1069
01:10:00,381 --> 01:10:04,170
exploration of a peace agreement,
then you will have my resignation.

1070
01:10:04,195 --> 01:10:05,853
Oh, don't be absurd, Edward.

1071
01:10:05,878 --> 01:10:07,814
-I need you. You know I do.
-I will not...

1072
01:10:07,839 --> 01:10:11,853
stand by to watch another
generation of young men

1073
01:10:11,925 --> 01:10:14,535
die at the bloody
altar of your hubris!

1074
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,855
Oh, then you would
have us die as lambs!

1075
01:10:16,974 --> 01:10:18,669
Was Gallipoli
not enough for you?!

1076
01:10:18,694 --> 01:10:20,341
How dare you!

1077
01:10:20,462 --> 01:10:26,111
Our troops were chewing barbed
wire in Flanders! And I saw it!

1078
01:10:26,408 --> 01:10:29,838
Opening a second front,
outflanking the Turks,

1079
01:10:29,863 --> 01:10:33,908
was a-a serious military idea and
it could've damn-well worked

1080
01:10:33,933 --> 01:10:36,542
if the-if the Admirals
and First Sea Lord

1081
01:10:36,589 --> 01:10:39,979
hadn't dithered away our
element of surprise!

1082
01:10:44,171 --> 01:10:45,820
The choice is yours, Winston.

1083
01:10:46,335 --> 01:10:49,726
You have 24 hours to enter into
peace talks, or I shall resign.

1084
01:11:04,167 --> 01:11:07,987
I told him. It shook him.

1085
01:11:08,354 --> 01:11:09,948
Imagine it did.

1086
01:11:10,119 --> 01:11:13,377
Gave him 24 hours.
I don't expect he'll agree.

1087
01:11:13,546 --> 01:11:15,179
So I shall resign first.

1088
01:11:15,272 --> 01:11:16,655
You then follow.
That's critical if we are

1089
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,084
to trigger a vote of no
confidence in the house.

1090
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:21,015
I shall announce it.

1091
01:11:22,898 --> 01:11:24,453
The King will back us.

1092
01:11:41,031 --> 01:11:42,234
Prime Minister.

1093
01:11:42,664 --> 01:11:45,406
I wonder if we might schedule you
to address the Outer Cabinet?

1094
01:11:47,044 --> 01:11:50,372
<i>Today, the Admiralty have made
an Order requesting all owners</i>

1095
01:11:50,405 --> 01:11:52,380
<i> of self-propelled
pleasure craft,</i>

1096
01:11:52,405 --> 01:11:55,085
<i>between 30 and 100 feet in length,</i>

1097
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:57,876
<i>to send all particulars to
the Admiralty, immediately--</i>

1098
01:11:58,229 --> 01:12:00,417
To Brigadier Nicholson,

1099
01:12:03,530 --> 01:12:06,319
30th Infantry Brigade.

1100
01:12:06,827 --> 01:12:08,061
Calais.

1101
01:12:10,780 --> 01:12:12,450
Every hour

1102
01:12:13,184 --> 01:12:15,794
 you continue to exist

1103
01:12:16,650 --> 01:12:18,853
is of the greatest help

1104
01:12:19,775 --> 01:12:22,462
to our forces at Dunkirk.

1105
01:12:24,942 --> 01:12:26,692
Have the greatest

1106
01:12:27,169 --> 01:12:30,380
possible admiration

1107
01:12:30,825 --> 01:12:33,169
for your splendid stand.

1108
01:12:37,941 --> 01:12:40,769
Your evacuation however

1109
01:12:41,051 --> 01:12:43,777
will not take place.

1110
01:12:49,325 --> 01:12:50,888
I repeat

1111
01:12:53,204 --> 01:12:55,196
will not take place.

1112
01:13:03,299 --> 01:13:04,650
Signed.

1113
01:13:19,968 --> 01:13:22,124
Here... here.

1114
01:13:25,419 --> 01:13:28,630
-May I be excused?
-You may not.

1115
01:13:30,604 --> 01:13:32,237
What is this about?

1116
01:13:35,017 --> 01:13:36,939
No one tells us anything.

1117
01:13:38,595 --> 01:13:40,353
It's all classified.

1118
01:13:42,224 --> 01:13:45,044
We hear scraps and it's
worse than knowing nothing.

1119
01:13:49,806 --> 01:13:51,719
What would you like to know?

1120
01:13:59,234 --> 01:14:01,891
How many men will survive?

1121
01:14:08,836 --> 01:14:10,414
Come with me.

1122
01:14:18,529 --> 01:14:21,232
-I'm not allowed in the Map Room.
-Well, you are now.

1123
01:14:21,257 --> 01:14:22,271
-Prime Minister.
-Prime Minister.

1124
01:14:22,296 --> 01:14:24,521
At ease, gentlemen!

1125
01:14:26,117 --> 01:14:27,274
Now...

1126
01:14:30,056 --> 01:14:33,049
The German army controls
every French port

1127
01:14:33,119 --> 01:14:35,681
except Dunkirk, here,
and Calais, here to the west,

1128
01:14:35,727 --> 01:14:39,665
where a garrison under Brigadier
Nicholson is drawing fire

1129
01:14:39,722 --> 01:14:42,495
and delaying the German
advance on Dunkirk.

1130
01:14:42,558 --> 01:14:46,284
At both points our
troops are encircled.

1131
01:14:46,309 --> 01:14:50,128
Now, we are still trying to
clear Dunkirk harbour

1132
01:14:50,153 --> 01:14:51,605
of wrecked ships so
that we can then

1133
01:14:51,630 --> 01:14:54,984
land the boats we need to get
our-our boys off those beaches,

1134
01:14:55,009 --> 01:14:58,223
but enemy aircraft is
attacking us constantly.

1135
01:14:58,248 --> 01:15:02,898
Our only hope in Dunkirk
is thick cloud cover

1136
01:15:03,090 --> 01:15:06,426
to thwart these attacks,
but the skies remain clear.

1137
01:15:06,861 --> 01:15:11,111
And even then
I am told we will need a...

1138
01:15:11,172 --> 01:15:14,617
a miracle to get even
ten percent of our men out.

1139
01:15:17,723 --> 01:15:20,270
Courage, Miss Layton.

1140
01:15:21,344 --> 01:15:22,469
Courage.

1141
01:15:23,023 --> 01:15:24,094
Gentlemen.

1142
01:15:24,547 --> 01:15:27,375
How... How long have they got...

1143
01:15:28,359 --> 01:15:30,133
if we don't rescue them?

1144
01:15:33,085 --> 01:15:34,210
One.

1145
01:15:34,671 --> 01:15:35,991
Maybe...

1146
01:15:36,921 --> 01:15:38,608
two days.

1147
01:15:44,262 --> 01:15:47,176
News from Calais,
the 30th Infantry, sir.

1148
01:15:47,253 --> 01:15:48,792
They've retreated to
the town's citadel

1149
01:15:48,817 --> 01:15:51,738
as a last and probably
hopeless stand.

1150
01:15:51,763 --> 01:15:54,636
The order "Every man for
himself" has been given.

1151
01:15:54,723 --> 01:15:56,629
Brigadier Nicholson,
you have a telegram, sir.

1152
01:16:03,091 --> 01:16:04,286
Good soldiers.

1153
01:16:04,411 --> 01:16:05,982
Well done, lads. Well done.

1154
01:16:21,492 --> 01:16:23,492
All right, men. All right?

1155
01:16:36,493 --> 01:16:38,844
"Your evacuation however"

1156
01:16:39,477 --> 01:16:42,172
"will not take place."

1157
01:16:43,750 --> 01:16:46,951
"I repeat, will not take place."

1158
01:17:33,929 --> 01:17:35,367
Oh, go to bed, Pig.

1159
01:17:37,664 --> 01:17:39,242
You must sleep.

1160
01:17:41,946 --> 01:17:43,688
Leave me, Clemmie.

1161
01:17:44,235 --> 01:17:47,094
The opportunity for doing so
passed a long time ago.

1162
01:18:18,743 --> 01:18:20,915
<i>Operator.
How may I direct your call?</i>

1163
01:18:21,313 --> 01:18:23,625
-Give me Ramsay.
<i>-One moment, please.</i>

1164
01:18:25,514 --> 01:18:27,170
-Bertie?
<i>-Sir.</i>

1165
01:18:27,357 --> 01:18:28,943
What's been the response?

1166
01:18:29,050 --> 01:18:31,519
<i>It will take time.
It's too soon to judge.</i>

1167
01:18:31,604 --> 01:18:33,495
How many boats so far?

1168
01:18:33,550 --> 01:18:35,348
<i>Winston, it will take time.</i>

1169
01:18:35,442 --> 01:18:38,840
The request for civilian boats,
Bertie, was not a request.

1170
01:18:38,958 --> 01:18:40,950
It was an order!

1171
01:18:56,732 --> 01:18:58,349
-Uh, Miss Layton.
-Sir.

1172
01:18:58,599 --> 01:19:00,943
Uh, I-I need to reach, um...

1173
01:19:01,573 --> 01:19:02,691
to reach...

1174
01:19:03,495 --> 01:19:04,847
to speak to...

1175
01:19:06,719 --> 01:19:07,735
To?

1176
01:19:08,414 --> 01:19:10,602
-Three p.m.
-Three p.m., Sir?

1177
01:19:11,639 --> 01:19:12,749
Uh, yes.

1178
01:19:13,327 --> 01:19:16,460
Uh, yes, ask Bridges to
summon the um...

1179
01:19:17,328 --> 01:19:22,094
Oh, God, the War Cabinet,
uh, three p.m. Thank you.

1180
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:30,445
Sir, from Lord Gort,
in France, sir.

1181
01:19:35,623 --> 01:19:38,084
Belgium has fallen.

1182
01:19:39,662 --> 01:19:43,045
They will surrender
at midnight.

1183
01:19:45,986 --> 01:19:47,900
France will soon follow suit.

1184
01:20:00,790 --> 01:20:03,954
We have received reports that the
most probable method of attack,

1185
01:20:03,979 --> 01:20:06,892
which Germany might employ
against this country,

1186
01:20:07,070 --> 01:20:09,335
is a large fleet
of fast motor boats,

1187
01:20:09,406 --> 01:20:12,304
possibly up to 200,
carrying 100 men apiece

1188
01:20:12,329 --> 01:20:14,828
to carry out a seaborne
raid on a large scale.

1189
01:20:15,291 --> 01:20:17,604
By these means a considerable
force of the enemy

1190
01:20:17,629 --> 01:20:20,845
could be landed at many points
on the coast simultaneously

1191
01:20:20,909 --> 01:20:23,003
with airborne raids inland.

1192
01:20:23,214 --> 01:20:26,761
We do not feel that by
naval or air action

1193
01:20:26,786 --> 01:20:28,862
we could prevent such a landing.

1194
01:20:31,372 --> 01:20:32,840
Could you repeat that?

1195
01:20:33,598 --> 01:20:36,754
We must prepare for the
imminent invasion of our island.

1196
01:20:40,812 --> 01:20:43,858
We must prepare for the
imminent invasion of our island.

1197
01:20:44,161 --> 01:20:47,402
We recommend that the country
should be warned and roused

1198
01:20:47,427 --> 01:20:49,145
to the immediate danger.

1199
01:20:49,229 --> 01:20:52,877
And that all personnel required
to put Britain in a state of defence

1200
01:20:52,902 --> 01:20:56,767
should be mobilized
without a moment's delay.

1201
01:20:56,924 --> 01:20:57,994
Lights.

1202
01:21:03,736 --> 01:21:06,728
Thank you, General.

1203
01:21:09,525 --> 01:21:13,720
Let all preparations be made.

1204
01:21:14,828 --> 01:21:16,758
Let the record state
I have received word

1205
01:21:16,798 --> 01:21:18,579
from the Italian Embassy
in London.

1206
01:21:18,651 --> 01:21:20,565
Italy is prepared to
mediate a resolution

1207
01:21:20,590 --> 01:21:23,229
between Britain,
its Allies, and Germany.

1208
01:21:29,910 --> 01:21:31,644
Perhaps then...

1209
01:21:33,824 --> 01:21:35,371
the time...

1210
01:21:36,010 --> 01:21:39,956
f-for such an offer
from us is when um...

1211
01:21:45,146 --> 01:21:46,740
is when...

1212
01:21:48,717 --> 01:21:53,131
is when Germany has
made a-an unsuccessful

1213
01:21:53,156 --> 01:21:56,030
attempt to invade this country.

1214
01:21:56,055 --> 01:21:57,037
Unsuccessful?!

1215
01:21:57,062 --> 01:21:58,748
Then you leave me
no other option--

1216
01:21:58,795 --> 01:21:59,537
Winston!

1217
01:21:59,825 --> 01:22:01,130
Winston!

1218
01:22:01,490 --> 01:22:06,263
You are refusing
to grasp the realities of

1219
01:22:06,553 --> 01:22:09,342
how precarious our position is!

1220
01:22:09,721 --> 01:22:13,791
Our entire army
is about to be wiped out!

1221
01:22:13,940 --> 01:22:17,494
Terms! Must! Be struck!

1222
01:22:22,283 --> 01:22:23,494
Anthony?

1223
01:22:41,872 --> 01:22:44,270
Then it seems we...

1224
01:22:46,269 --> 01:22:48,410
we have no choice...

1225
01:22:49,139 --> 01:22:51,677
but to at least consider the...

1226
01:22:52,467 --> 01:22:53,747
path...

1227
01:22:54,404 --> 01:22:56,506
of negotiation.

1228
01:22:57,393 --> 01:23:01,065
I-If Hitler's peace terms are...

1229
01:23:02,758 --> 01:23:06,907
overlordship of Central Europe...

1230
01:23:08,059 --> 01:23:11,856
return of certain German colonies...

1231
01:23:12,534 --> 01:23:16,722
a-and if he will leave us...

1232
01:23:17,769 --> 01:23:20,245
our independence...

1233
01:23:22,474 --> 01:23:25,333
then... I'd be grateful

1234
01:23:26,553 --> 01:23:29,201
to get out of our present...

1235
01:23:30,748 --> 01:23:32,256
difficulties.

1236
01:23:33,844 --> 01:23:35,562
It's unlikely...

1237
01:23:36,391 --> 01:23:39,516
that he will make
any such offer.

1238
01:23:40,089 --> 01:23:44,737
But if I were told what
the German terms were...

1239
01:23:49,155 --> 01:23:53,537
then I'd-I'd be prepared
to-to consider them.

1240
01:23:55,235 --> 01:23:57,227
Thank you. Prime Minister.

1241
01:23:58,550 --> 01:24:00,855
We shall prepare a draft
memorandum at once.

1242
01:24:13,261 --> 01:24:15,862
I-I have come...

1243
01:24:16,261 --> 01:24:17,573
to wonder...

1244
01:24:17,900 --> 01:24:20,377
i-in recent days...

1245
01:24:25,121 --> 01:24:27,621
w-whether it was...

1246
01:24:30,125 --> 01:24:32,023
uh, part of my duty...

1247
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:40,573
part of my...
part of my duty...

1248
01:24:43,428 --> 01:24:45,850
u-uh, to consider...

1249
01:24:47,506 --> 01:24:48,983
to consider...

1250
01:24:49,973 --> 01:24:51,004
um...

1251
01:24:55,833 --> 01:24:57,779
to consider...

1252
01:25:00,023 --> 01:25:02,882
whether i-it was...

1253
01:25:03,414 --> 01:25:05,062
Will that be all for tonight, sir?

1254
01:25:09,523 --> 01:25:12,414
whether it was... part of my duty...

1255
01:25:12,900 --> 01:25:16,845
e-entering into...

1256
01:25:18,420 --> 01:25:20,920
into negotiations with uh...

1257
01:25:29,212 --> 01:25:31,118
that corporal...

1258
01:25:35,979 --> 01:25:38,877
no... that child...

1259
01:25:44,037 --> 01:25:46,787
monster of wickedness...

1260
01:25:47,996 --> 01:25:49,292
butcher...

1261
01:25:49,512 --> 01:25:51,378
that s-savage...

1262
01:25:51,902 --> 01:25:55,543
monstrous savage...

1263
01:26:11,099 --> 01:26:13,428
Housepainter!

1264
01:26:20,536 --> 01:26:22,763
Where... where were we?

1265
01:26:26,005 --> 01:26:27,200
Well?

1266
01:26:30,220 --> 01:26:32,095
I didn't understand you, Sir.

1267
01:26:33,673 --> 01:26:35,204
You were...

1268
01:26:35,610 --> 01:26:36,774
Were?

1269
01:26:37,540 --> 01:26:39,017
You were mumbling.

1270
01:26:39,407 --> 01:26:40,954
Mumbling.

1271
01:26:46,222 --> 01:26:48,988
Th-Th-The right words...

1272
01:26:50,371 --> 01:26:52,066
won't come.

1273
01:26:52,574 --> 01:26:53,972
They will come, Sir.

1274
01:26:54,590 --> 01:26:56,777
No one could put words
together like you.

1275
01:27:08,089 --> 01:27:09,323
Oh.

1276
01:27:20,159 --> 01:27:21,769
Your beau?

1277
01:27:22,824 --> 01:27:24,465
My brother.

1278
01:27:26,865 --> 01:27:28,513
Where is he now?

1279
01:27:29,162 --> 01:27:31,107
He was falling back on Dunkirk.

1280
01:27:32,697 --> 01:27:34,486
But he never made it.

1281
01:27:59,036 --> 01:28:00,301
What?

1282
01:28:05,832 --> 01:28:07,590
Just looking at you.

1283
01:28:34,584 --> 01:28:36,388
Shall I read back what we have?

1284
01:28:38,709 --> 01:28:40,459
Yes, please.

1285
01:28:46,928 --> 01:28:49,905
"I have come to wonder
in recent days..."

1286
01:28:51,143 --> 01:28:55,596
"whether it was my duty to consider
entering into negotiations..."

1287
01:28:56,812 --> 01:28:58,039
"with..."

1288
01:29:01,343 --> 01:29:02,539
With...

1289
01:29:51,308 --> 01:29:54,463
I've just been standing...
imagining...

1290
01:29:55,519 --> 01:29:57,214
never being here anymore.

1291
01:29:58,772 --> 01:30:00,936
Whether it's because
I'm no longer alive

1292
01:30:00,961 --> 01:30:03,280
or that the palace
itself is gone.

1293
01:30:04,022 --> 01:30:05,405
Canada.

1294
01:30:06,198 --> 01:30:07,987
You must decide, sir.

1295
01:30:08,370 --> 01:30:11,917
-You could rule in exile.
-Truly? Is that to be my fate?

1296
01:30:17,463 --> 01:30:20,111
You know something?
I'm aware in this moment

1297
01:30:20,136 --> 01:30:22,393
of feeling angry.

1298
01:30:24,788 --> 01:30:26,413
Bloody angry.

1299
01:30:30,130 --> 01:30:31,521
Darling?

1300
01:30:34,595 --> 01:30:36,963
Winston, darling?

1301
01:30:38,842 --> 01:30:40,686
There's someone to see you.

1302
01:30:41,452 --> 01:30:42,944
You have a visitor.

1303
01:30:54,321 --> 01:30:55,655
My darling, you have

1304
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,313
the full weight of the
world on your shoulders.

1305
01:30:58,734 --> 01:31:01,047
-I...
-No, I know, I know.

1306
01:31:01,132 --> 01:31:03,538
But these inner battles...

1307
01:31:04,726 --> 01:31:09,408
have actually trained you
for this very moment.

1308
01:31:10,058 --> 01:31:13,026
You are strong because
you are imperfect.

1309
01:31:13,151 --> 01:31:16,839
You are wise because
you have doubts.

1310
01:31:19,537 --> 01:31:21,826
Now. Shall I let him in?

1311
01:31:23,435 --> 01:31:24,795
Who?

1312
01:31:25,552 --> 01:31:27,037
The King.

1313
01:31:27,265 --> 01:31:29,116
Which King?

1314
01:31:29,685 --> 01:31:31,654
Our King?

1315
01:31:31,769 --> 01:31:34,285
Well if it isn't him, it's a
marvellous impersonation.

1316
01:31:44,517 --> 01:31:45,736
Mr. Churchill.

1317
01:31:46,408 --> 01:31:49,212
I hope you can forgive
the late hour but...

1318
01:31:49,689 --> 01:31:53,150
your wife thought tonight
would be a good time.

1319
01:31:54,689 --> 01:31:55,814
Shall we sit?

1320
01:31:56,448 --> 01:31:58,870
Yes uh, please.

1321
01:32:03,808 --> 01:32:06,433
Something to drink, mayhaps.

1322
01:32:13,965 --> 01:32:15,261
I-I...

1323
01:32:16,050 --> 01:32:19,332
received a visit...

1324
01:32:20,412 --> 01:32:22,732
-From?
-Viscount Halifax.

1325
01:32:23,304 --> 01:32:26,288
It appears that he prospect
of a peace deal...

1326
01:32:27,648 --> 01:32:30,921
has increased dramatically.

1327
01:32:33,127 --> 01:32:37,315
The war cabinet is drafting
a letter to Mussolini,

1328
01:32:37,868 --> 01:32:42,844
asking him to broker
talks with Herr Hitler.

1329
01:32:46,205 --> 01:32:49,291
Then Halifax was correct.

1330
01:32:51,311 --> 01:32:53,795
I should like to know your mind.

1331
01:32:53,967 --> 01:32:57,006
It would be helpful
to know yours first.

1332
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,694
I should like to know it myself.

1333
01:33:02,105 --> 01:33:08,160
Nations which go down fighting
rise again, and those...

1334
01:33:09,260 --> 01:33:11,924
that surrender
tamely are finished.

1335
01:33:11,949 --> 01:33:14,447
-Belgium?
-Collapsed.

1336
01:33:14,517 --> 01:33:16,197
-Norway?
-Holland.

1337
01:33:17,041 --> 01:33:18,814
France any hour.

1338
01:33:18,846 --> 01:33:21,463
-And the mood of parliament?
-Fear. Panic.

1339
01:33:21,574 --> 01:33:23,144
And you?

1340
01:33:24,589 --> 01:33:26,378
Are you not afraid?

1341
01:33:27,903 --> 01:33:31,286
I am most terribly.

1342
01:33:32,559 --> 01:33:37,442
Support in the War Cabinet...

1343
01:33:38,505 --> 01:33:41,106
for the campaign of resistance...

1344
01:33:41,727 --> 01:33:43,829
has collapsed.

1345
01:33:51,606 --> 01:33:57,467
Later today, I-I will
address the House... accordingly.

1346
01:34:07,910 --> 01:34:09,839
You have my support.

1347
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:18,790
Your Majesty?

1348
01:34:19,611 --> 01:34:22,001
You have my support.

1349
01:34:24,130 --> 01:34:25,739
I confess, I...

1350
01:34:26,763 --> 01:34:30,333
had some reservations
about you at first, but...

1351
01:34:30,981 --> 01:34:35,192
while some in this country
dreaded your appointment, none...

1352
01:34:35,504 --> 01:34:38,340
none dreaded it like
Adolph Hitler.

1353
01:34:38,422 --> 01:34:42,172
Whomever can strike fear
into that brute heart...

1354
01:34:42,704 --> 01:34:45,508
is worthy of all of our trust.

1355
01:34:46,066 --> 01:34:50,355
We shall work together. You shall
have my support at any hour.

1356
01:34:50,816 --> 01:34:52,582
Beat the buggers.

1357
01:34:53,825 --> 01:34:55,638
I will go to parliament...

1358
01:34:56,411 --> 01:34:59,302
without support in
my own party...

1359
01:34:59,698 --> 01:35:02,644
I must sue for peace.

1360
01:35:06,103 --> 01:35:09,853
You once gave me some advice,
perhaps I can-I can give you some...

1361
01:35:11,395 --> 01:35:15,207
Go to the people.
Let them instruct you.

1362
01:35:15,367 --> 01:35:18,797
Quite silently, they usually do.

1363
01:35:18,905 --> 01:35:20,467
But tell them...

1364
01:35:21,452 --> 01:35:24,092
the truth. Unvarnished.

1365
01:35:24,389 --> 01:35:26,686
If invasion is imminent,

1366
01:35:26,711 --> 01:35:28,975
if our troops in
France are lost,

1367
01:35:29,236 --> 01:35:31,111
they must be prepared.

1368
01:35:34,372 --> 01:35:36,099
On certain matters...

1369
01:35:38,146 --> 01:35:42,630
I-I have very few people
with whom I can...

1370
01:35:42,861 --> 01:35:45,541
talk. Frankly.

1371
01:35:45,713 --> 01:35:47,897
Perhaps now we have each other?

1372
01:35:49,289 --> 01:35:51,773
And I no longer scare you?

1373
01:35:52,164 --> 01:35:53,656
A little.

1374
01:35:53,859 --> 01:35:55,570
But I can cope.

1375
01:36:05,391 --> 01:36:08,047
We are ready.
More or less.

1376
01:36:08,152 --> 01:36:12,113
<i>More or less what, Bertie?
Give me a number!</i>

1377
01:36:12,184 --> 01:36:15,066
In total, 860 vessels.

1378
01:36:15,340 --> 01:36:17,637
<i>The biggest civilian
fleet ever assembled.</i>

1379
01:36:17,785 --> 01:36:20,270
<i>Operation Dynamo waits
on your command.</i>

1380
01:36:20,363 --> 01:36:22,051
Sir Admiral...

1381
01:36:22,731 --> 01:36:25,465
Initiate Dynamo.

1382
01:36:25,836 --> 01:36:28,407
And may God watch over them all.

1383
01:37:53,125 --> 01:37:54,868
We've lost the Prime Minister.

1384
01:38:17,049 --> 01:38:19,220
Do you know how to
use this thing?

1385
01:38:19,245 --> 01:38:20,494
Yes, sir.

1386
01:38:21,767 --> 01:38:24,064
How do I get to Westminster?

1387
01:38:24,174 --> 01:38:26,072
Westminster? Um...

1388
01:38:26,950 --> 01:38:29,427
the District Line.
East. One stop.

1389
01:38:29,554 --> 01:38:33,046
District Line. East. One stop.

1390
01:38:33,163 --> 01:38:34,882
Well, that doesn't
sound so hard.

1391
01:38:34,937 --> 01:38:36,114
No, sir.

1392
01:38:36,489 --> 01:38:38,934
-Thank you.
-Thank you, sir.

1393
01:38:39,006 --> 01:38:43,201
The memorandum is titled
"Suggested Approaches to Italy"

1394
01:38:43,226 --> 01:38:44,748
and is as follows...

1395
01:38:45,227 --> 01:38:48,695
"If Signor Mussolini
will cooperate with us...

1396
01:38:48,820 --> 01:38:52,148
"in securing a settlement
of all European questions...

1397
01:38:52,173 --> 01:38:56,530
"which safeguard the independence
and security of the allies...

1398
01:38:56,584 --> 01:39:01,530
"and could be the basis of a just
and durable peace for Europe,

1399
01:39:01,575 --> 01:39:04,871
"we will undertake
at once to discuss,

1400
01:39:05,036 --> 01:39:07,247
"with the desire to
find solutions,

1401
01:39:07,348 --> 01:39:11,941
"the matters in which Signor
Mussolini is primarily interested."

1402
01:39:12,123 --> 01:39:16,045
"We understand that he desires
the solution of certain...

1403
01:39:16,177 --> 01:39:20,802
"Mediterranean questions:
and if he will state in secrecy...

1404
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,138
"what these are, France
and Great Britain...

1405
01:39:24,163 --> 01:39:27,255
"will at once do their best
to meet his wishes".

1406
01:39:33,026 --> 01:39:34,369
So...

1407
01:39:34,651 --> 01:39:37,260
this is the Underground!

1408
01:39:49,468 --> 01:39:50,648
Thank you.

1409
01:40:29,530 --> 01:40:31,514
Does anyone have a match?

1410
01:40:36,913 --> 01:40:38,124
Thank you.

1411
01:40:39,835 --> 01:40:40,905
Thank you.

1412
01:40:44,131 --> 01:40:45,756
What are you all staring at?

1413
01:40:46,217 --> 01:40:48,662
Have you never seen
a-a Prime Minister

1414
01:40:48,687 --> 01:40:50,702
ride the Underground before?

1415
01:40:53,565 --> 01:40:57,112
-What is your name?
-Oliver Wilson, sir.

1416
01:40:58,088 --> 01:41:00,081
And what do you do,
Mr. Wilson?

1417
01:41:00,268 --> 01:41:02,018
-Brick-layer, sir.
-Ah!

1418
01:41:02,220 --> 01:41:06,499
Brick-layer. We shall have great
need of brick-layers soon!

1419
01:41:06,537 --> 01:41:08,522
Business will be looking up!

1420
01:41:11,399 --> 01:41:12,422
Ah!

1421
01:41:13,055 --> 01:41:14,563
Progress!

1422
01:41:20,108 --> 01:41:22,858
-How old?
-Five months, sir.

1423
01:41:23,046 --> 01:41:24,600
He looks like you.

1424
01:41:25,226 --> 01:41:28,179
Madam, all babies look like me.

1425
01:41:30,707 --> 01:41:32,543
Well, what is your name?

1426
01:41:32,692 --> 01:41:34,208
Mrs. Jessie Sutton.

1427
01:41:34,262 --> 01:41:36,965
Ah, Mrs. Sutton. It's a pleasure.

1428
01:41:38,136 --> 01:41:41,042
Abigail. Abigail Walker.

1429
01:41:41,109 --> 01:41:44,460
-Marcus Peters.
-Marcus Peters.

1430
01:41:46,751 --> 01:41:48,705
-Agnes Dillon.
-Agnes.

1431
01:41:49,525 --> 01:41:51,759
-Maurice Baker.
-Mr. Baker.

1432
01:41:51,845 --> 01:41:54,093
-Alice Simpson.
-Alice Simpson.

1433
01:41:54,226 --> 01:41:58,008
-Miss Margaret Jerome.
-Oh, a Jerome!

1434
01:41:58,188 --> 01:42:03,281
My mother was a Jerome.
I-I expect we're closely related.

1435
01:42:04,268 --> 01:42:07,104
Please, please, uh
sit, sit everyone!

1436
01:42:11,064 --> 01:42:13,033
Thank you, Mr. Baker.

1437
01:42:13,525 --> 01:42:15,533
So how are you all uh...

1438
01:42:15,861 --> 01:42:18,041
how are you all bearing up?

1439
01:42:18,856 --> 01:42:22,371
Good... good spirits? Yes?

1440
01:42:22,665 --> 01:42:25,891
Just as well.
We shall need them.

1441
01:42:26,509 --> 01:42:30,103
Now... uh, let me ask
you something...

1442
01:42:30,470 --> 01:42:33,923
that's been... weighing on my mind.

1443
01:42:34,134 --> 01:42:37,041
Perhaps you can provide
me with an answer.

1444
01:42:37,323 --> 01:42:42,027
You... the British people.

1445
01:42:42,556 --> 01:42:44,314
What is your mood?

1446
01:42:45,087 --> 01:42:48,064
Is it uh... is it confident?

1447
01:42:48,737 --> 01:42:50,479
Confident. How confident?

1448
01:42:50,565 --> 01:42:51,635
Very.

1449
01:42:51,721 --> 01:42:53,331
Some people say
it's a lost cause.

1450
01:42:53,356 --> 01:42:56,167
Lost causes are the only
ones worth fighting for.

1451
01:42:56,236 --> 01:42:57,245
Too right.

1452
01:42:57,269 --> 01:43:01,183
Yes. Now let me ask you this,
if the worst came to pass,

1453
01:43:01,402 --> 01:43:03,535
and-and the enemy...

1454
01:43:03,709 --> 01:43:07,240
were to appear in those-
those streets above...

1455
01:43:07,265 --> 01:43:08,420
what would you do?

1456
01:43:08,445 --> 01:43:09,161
Fight.

1457
01:43:09,186 --> 01:43:10,337
Fight the fascists.

1458
01:43:10,362 --> 01:43:12,191
Fight them with anything
we can lay our hands on!

1459
01:43:12,223 --> 01:43:14,612
-Broom handles if we must!
-Street by street!

1460
01:43:14,659 --> 01:43:16,276
They'll never take Piccadilly!

1461
01:43:17,534 --> 01:43:20,003
Never take Piccadilly indeed!

1462
01:43:20,158 --> 01:43:24,486
And what if I put it to you all
that we might...

1463
01:43:24,598 --> 01:43:28,348
if we uh, if we ask nicely...

1464
01:43:28,575 --> 01:43:32,802
get very favourable terms
from Mr. Hitler...

1465
01:43:32,855 --> 01:43:36,925
if we enter into a peace
deal with him right now?

1466
01:43:37,058 --> 01:43:39,121
What would you say to that?

1467
01:43:39,202 --> 01:43:41,952
-Never!
-Never!

1468
01:43:42,116 --> 01:43:43,491
Never!

1469
01:43:51,799 --> 01:43:53,096
Never?

1470
01:43:54,869 --> 01:43:55,822
Never.

1471
01:43:57,486 --> 01:43:59,346
Will you never give up?

1472
01:43:59,423 --> 01:44:01,079
No. Never.

1473
01:44:02,478 --> 01:44:06,603
"Then out spake brave Horatius,

1474
01:44:09,354 --> 01:44:11,706
"Captain of the gate:

1475
01:44:13,005 --> 01:44:17,193
"To every man upon this earth
Death...

1476
01:44:19,129 --> 01:44:21,434
"cometh soon or late.

1477
01:44:21,798 --> 01:44:26,571
"And how can man die better...

1478
01:44:26,806 --> 01:44:29,017
"Than facing fearful odds"

1479
01:44:31,515 --> 01:44:34,226
-"For the ash--"
-"For the ashes of his father"

1480
01:44:34,656 --> 01:44:37,101
"And the temples of his gods."

1481
01:44:47,075 --> 01:44:48,497
Are you crying?

1482
01:44:48,833 --> 01:44:52,973
I... yes, yes... I...

1483
01:44:53,686 --> 01:44:55,850
I blub a lot, you know?

1484
01:44:57,038 --> 01:44:59,819
You'll-You'll have to get used to it.

1485
01:45:02,108 --> 01:45:04,186
Uh, what stop is this?

1486
01:45:04,526 --> 01:45:06,447
Westminster, sir.

1487
01:45:07,385 --> 01:45:10,596
Westminster.
That's my stop.

1488
01:45:42,364 --> 01:45:43,700
Prime Minister!

1489
01:45:46,544 --> 01:45:47,513
Sir.

1490
01:45:49,356 --> 01:45:52,488
The War Cabinet...
Sir, they're waiting.

1491
01:45:52,965 --> 01:45:55,238
I'm due to address
the Outer Cabinet.

1492
01:45:55,794 --> 01:45:57,582
-When?
-Now!

1493
01:45:57,772 --> 01:46:01,208
I haven't spoken to them since the
formation of the new government.

1494
01:46:05,003 --> 01:46:06,948
-Prime Minister.
-Good day, gentlemen.

1495
01:46:08,030 --> 01:46:09,046
Oh.

1496
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:13,249
I am about to speak to my
Outer Cabinet in my rooms...

1497
01:46:13,337 --> 01:46:16,009
and I extend the
invitation to any of you

1498
01:46:16,034 --> 01:46:18,080
who would care to join them.

1499
01:46:40,683 --> 01:46:42,511
This afternoon...

1500
01:46:44,572 --> 01:46:46,978
I shall address the House...

1501
01:46:48,259 --> 01:46:51,486
on the matter of our
nation's security.

1502
01:46:52,854 --> 01:46:56,838
At this very moment
the War Cabinet is

1503
01:46:57,034 --> 01:47:00,299
drafting papers that lay
out our willingness

1504
01:47:00,385 --> 01:47:03,877
to enter into peace
talks with Herr Hitler,

1505
01:47:04,318 --> 01:47:09,685
via his uh,
his lackey, Mussolini.

1506
01:47:11,359 --> 01:47:14,632
I have thought very carefully

1507
01:47:14,929 --> 01:47:19,359
in these last days
whether that it was part of my duty

1508
01:47:19,786 --> 01:47:24,153
to consider entering into
negotiations with...

1509
01:47:27,894 --> 01:47:29,652
with that man.

1510
01:47:32,212 --> 01:47:34,579
But then I uh...

1511
01:47:36,508 --> 01:47:38,453
I spoke with um...

1512
01:47:38,914 --> 01:47:39,773
Um.

1513
01:47:40,819 --> 01:47:41,514
Um...

1514
01:47:43,203 --> 01:47:45,047
Oliver Wilson.

1515
01:47:46,139 --> 01:47:48,358
Mrs. Jessie Sutton...

1516
01:47:49,198 --> 01:47:52,659
Mrs. Abigail Walker...

1517
01:47:53,205 --> 01:47:55,111
Marcus Peters,

1518
01:47:55,337 --> 01:47:57,478
Maurice Baker,

1519
01:47:57,521 --> 01:48:02,162
Alice Simpson, and
Miss Margaret Jerome...

1520
01:48:02,591 --> 01:48:04,825
brave, good, true
citizens of this kingdom,

1521
01:48:04,850 --> 01:48:06,568
and they argued strongly,

1522
01:48:06,668 --> 01:48:11,707
that it was idle to think,
if we tried to make peace now,

1523
01:48:11,827 --> 01:48:15,733
we should get better terms
than if we fought it out.

1524
01:48:16,503 --> 01:48:21,518
The Germans, Mr. Baker felt,

1525
01:48:21,809 --> 01:48:23,379
would demand

1526
01:48:23,504 --> 01:48:25,395
in the name of disarmament

1527
01:48:25,420 --> 01:48:28,981
our naval bases, and much else.
And I think he's right.

1528
01:48:29,238 --> 01:48:33,426
Jessie Sutton, speaking for many,

1529
01:48:33,780 --> 01:48:36,827
believes we would then become a

1530
01:48:36,991 --> 01:48:39,150
a slave state,

1531
01:48:39,228 --> 01:48:43,416
though a British Government,
which would be Hitler's puppet.

1532
01:48:43,587 --> 01:48:46,439
A government set up under...

1533
01:48:46,517 --> 01:48:48,962
under Mosley
or some such person.

1534
01:48:49,001 --> 01:48:49,806
No!

1535
01:48:49,831 --> 01:48:53,306
And I join with them in
asking a-a further question,

1536
01:48:53,376 --> 01:48:56,219
a question I-I now put to you:

1537
01:48:56,875 --> 01:49:01,454
where should we be
at the end of all that?

1538
01:49:06,516 --> 01:49:08,375
Some might benefit

1539
01:49:08,563 --> 01:49:12,407
I mean the powerful might be
able to parlay good terms...

1540
01:49:12,525 --> 01:49:15,416
preserved in their
country redoubts,

1541
01:49:15,441 --> 01:49:18,268
out of sight of the-the Swastika

1542
01:49:18,319 --> 01:49:22,537
flying over... over...
Buckingham Palace,

1543
01:49:23,061 --> 01:49:24,897
over Windsor,

1544
01:49:25,132 --> 01:49:27,335
and-and draped on these
very buildings!

1545
01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:29,616
Never! Never!

1546
01:49:29,991 --> 01:49:31,944
So I come to you...

1547
01:49:32,905 --> 01:49:36,077
I come to you...

1548
01:49:36,931 --> 01:49:41,267
to learn your minds
in this grave hour.

1549
01:49:41,838 --> 01:49:46,314
You see, it was pointed out
to me by my new friends...

1550
01:49:46,426 --> 01:49:50,965
that-that you might even rise
up and-and tear me down

1551
01:49:50,990 --> 01:49:54,770
were I for one moment to
contemplate parley or surrender.

1552
01:49:59,375 --> 01:50:00,820
Were they wrong?

1553
01:50:00,845 --> 01:50:02,094
-No!
-No!

1554
01:50:02,151 --> 01:50:03,510
-Were they wrong?
-No!

1555
01:50:03,815 --> 01:50:05,753
-Were they wrong?
-No!

1556
01:50:05,823 --> 01:50:08,644
Thank you, thank you.
Then I have heard you.

1557
01:50:08,974 --> 01:50:11,005
Then I have heard you.

1558
01:50:12,986 --> 01:50:17,275
It appears to be your will also,

1559
01:50:17,797 --> 01:50:22,390
that if this long island story
of ours is to end at last,

1560
01:50:22,510 --> 01:50:26,440
then let it end
only when each one of us...

1561
01:50:26,565 --> 01:50:31,803
lies choking in his own blood
upon the ground!

1562
01:50:33,082 --> 01:50:34,152
Marvellous!

1563
01:50:38,243 --> 01:50:40,353
And when I asked
to know their minds

1564
01:50:40,384 --> 01:50:42,024
there occurred a
demonstration which,

1565
01:50:42,049 --> 01:50:44,782
considering the character
of the gathering,

1566
01:50:44,821 --> 01:50:46,626
quite surprised me.

1567
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:49,188
There is no doubt...

1568
01:50:49,503 --> 01:50:53,495
that if we falter at all
in the leading of the nation...

1569
01:50:53,612 --> 01:50:56,800
we should all be
hurled out of office.

1570
01:50:56,906 --> 01:51:00,593
I am sure now that every Minister
on both sides of the house

1571
01:51:00,648 --> 01:51:03,593
is-is ready to be killed quite
soon, and have all his

1572
01:51:03,686 --> 01:51:07,546
family and possessions
destroyed, rather than give in.

1573
01:51:08,300 --> 01:51:12,503
In this they represent
almost all the people.

1574
01:51:12,812 --> 01:51:17,805
And it falls to me in these
coming days and months...

1575
01:51:18,253 --> 01:51:21,456
to express their sentiments.

1576
01:51:23,991 --> 01:51:26,147
There shall be no

1577
01:51:26,632 --> 01:51:28,718
negotiated peace.

1578
01:51:33,047 --> 01:51:35,594
And you must each do now

1579
01:51:36,024 --> 01:51:38,133
as you see fit.

1580
01:51:42,453 --> 01:51:45,015
If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.

1581
01:51:46,296 --> 01:51:49,789
I believe I am due
to address parliament.

1582
01:51:50,203 --> 01:51:54,094
And I have yet to write
a-a word of my speech.

1583
01:51:54,242 --> 01:51:55,953
There's the buggers.

1584
01:51:58,959 --> 01:52:00,701
-"Tiny".
-Sir.

1585
01:52:06,822 --> 01:52:08,900
-Miss Layton.
-Sir?

1586
01:52:09,025 --> 01:52:10,759
I am in need of you.

1587
01:52:12,845 --> 01:52:15,837
We must both now resign.
Force a vote of no confidence.

1588
01:52:16,999 --> 01:52:20,038
Well, let us go to
the Commons first.

1589
01:52:20,343 --> 01:52:22,077
Join our colleagues.

1590
01:52:22,764 --> 01:52:26,452
And speak after the
Prime Minister's address.

1591
01:52:45,623 --> 01:52:48,373
Here is a woman,
who's always tired...

1592
01:52:49,117 --> 01:52:53,383
for she lives a life
where too much is required.

1593
01:53:21,319 --> 01:53:23,226
The Prime Minister.

1594
01:53:32,487 --> 01:53:36,846
Turning once again
to the question of invasion.

1595
01:53:36,968 --> 01:53:40,929
I would observe that there
has never been a period

1596
01:53:41,046 --> 01:53:44,569
in all these long centuries
of which we boast,

1597
01:53:44,650 --> 01:53:50,267
when an absolute guarantee
against invasion

1598
01:53:50,921 --> 01:53:53,617
could have been given
to our people.

1599
01:54:00,342 --> 01:54:04,615
I have, myself full confidence

1600
01:54:05,076 --> 01:54:07,295
that if all do their duty,

1601
01:54:07,522 --> 01:54:10,334
if nothing is neglected,

1602
01:54:10,519 --> 01:54:15,113
and the best arrangements are
made, as they are being made,

1603
01:54:15,264 --> 01:54:21,170
we shall prove ourselves once more
able to defend our island home,

1604
01:54:21,685 --> 01:54:25,060
to ride out the storm of war,

1605
01:54:25,970 --> 01:54:29,228
and to outlive the
menace of tyranny...

1606
01:54:29,416 --> 01:54:33,197
if necessary for years,

1607
01:54:33,620 --> 01:54:38,299
if necessary alone.

1608
01:54:39,904 --> 01:54:44,514
<i>At any rate, that is what
we are-are going to try to do.</i>

1609
01:54:44,738 --> 01:54:47,878
<i>That is the resolve of His...</i>

1610
01:54:47,948 --> 01:54:50,604
<i>Majesty's Government,
every man of them.</i>

1611
01:54:50,654 --> 01:54:51,779
To your right, look over please.

1612
01:54:51,888 --> 01:54:54,138
<i>That is the will of...</i>

1613
01:54:54,226 --> 01:54:56,998
Parliament and the nation.

1614
01:54:59,791 --> 01:55:03,674
<i>The British Empire
and the French Republic,</i>

1615
01:55:03,826 --> 01:55:07,701
<i>linked together in their
cause and in their need,</i>

1616
01:55:07,799 --> 01:55:12,705
<i>will defend to the death
their native soil,</i>

1617
01:55:13,767 --> 01:55:17,892
aiding each other
like good comrades...

1618
01:55:18,017 --> 01:55:20,767
to the utmost of their strength.

1619
01:55:20,893 --> 01:55:21,955
Hear! Hear!

1620
01:55:23,741 --> 01:55:28,468
Even though
large tracts of Europe...

1621
01:55:28,584 --> 01:55:32,389
and many old and famous
States have-have fallen...

1622
01:55:32,424 --> 01:55:38,776
or may fall into the-
the grip of the Gestapo...

1623
01:55:38,972 --> 01:55:43,237
and all the odious
apparatus of Nazi rule,

1624
01:55:44,002 --> 01:55:46,924
we shall not flag or fail.

1625
01:55:47,646 --> 01:55:51,224
We shall go on to the end.

1626
01:55:55,651 --> 01:55:59,159
We shall fight in France...

1627
01:55:59,651 --> 01:56:03,682
we shall fight
on the seas and oceans,

1628
01:56:04,319 --> 01:56:06,264
we shall fight with-

1629
01:56:06,350 --> 01:56:10,498
with growing confidence and
growing strength in the air,

1630
01:56:11,461 --> 01:56:17,351
we shall defend our island,
whatever the cost may be.

1631
01:56:19,903 --> 01:56:22,996
We shall fight on the beaches,

1632
01:56:23,238 --> 01:56:27,199
we shall fight
on the landing grounds,

1633
01:56:27,299 --> 01:56:32,595
we shall fight in the fields
and in the streets,

1634
01:56:32,895 --> 01:56:35,887
we shall fight in the hills.

1635
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:38,700
We shall never surrender!

1636
01:56:48,271 --> 01:56:49,677
And if...

1637
01:56:53,732 --> 01:56:55,208
and if...

1638
01:56:56,903 --> 01:57:00,083
which I-I do not
for a moment believe,

1639
01:57:00,154 --> 01:57:04,841
this island or a
large part of it were...

1640
01:57:04,908 --> 01:57:08,182
were subjugated and starving,

1641
01:57:08,671 --> 01:57:13,179
then our Empire
beyond the seas,

1642
01:57:13,358 --> 01:57:17,350
armed and guarded by
the British Fleet,

1643
01:57:18,262 --> 01:57:20,426
would carry on the struggle,

1644
01:57:21,770 --> 01:57:24,676
until, in God's good time,

1645
01:57:24,998 --> 01:57:29,982
the New World,
with all its power and might,

1646
01:57:30,318 --> 01:57:33,084
steps forth to the rescue

1647
01:57:33,138 --> 01:57:36,037
and the liberation of the old!

1648
01:58:15,287 --> 01:58:16,412
Victory!

1649
01:58:26,121 --> 01:58:27,832
Changed your mind?

1650
01:58:28,395 --> 01:58:32,809
Those who never change their mind
never change anything.

1651
01:58:35,608 --> 01:58:37,250
What just happened?

1652
01:58:37,898 --> 01:58:40,500
He mobilized
the English language...

1653
01:58:41,891 --> 01:58:44,102
and sent it into battle.

1654
02:04:45,282 --> 02:04:48,743
