BREAKING THE CODE
Cognosctivas Sciences Costa Rica (subtitling)
Sorry to make you wait, sir.
Put in order the basic facts.
We are talking about a robbery that occurred on Jan. 23 ...
- ... And you are Mr. Spurling. - No, Turing: T - U - R - I - N - G.
Mike Ross, Detective Sgt.
I catch this.
Would you like to come with me, Lord?
- Is this your list? - If.
A shirt five fish knives,
a pair of dress pants, three pairs of shoes,
an electric razor, half-empty bottle of sherry.
It is not a big thing.
Well, I live simply. Possessions per se mean little to me.
However...
You said ... you told the police, told ...
I had any idea who could have committed the crime.
Okay, yes. I called George.
- George, what? - I do not know.
Who is that man?
- Can you describe it? - Oh no. I have never seen it.
- But you know his name. - Oh yeah. Someone told me.
What did you say, sir?
That man, George, could be a thief.
Who told you?
Well, a young man knocked on the door ... selling something ... brushes or something.
He told me to be careful because he had heard of a robbery ...
in the tavern ... plan the robbery.
This man, George, did you hear ...
make some kind of plan to steal at home?
No, not in my house in particular, no. In a house in my neighborhood.
Or at least that I have understood. That's what he told me.
This ... young man, brushes, told me
I knew the man who was talking ... George.
He recognized it, you see.
Why he did not inform the police at that time?
But I could not ... I mean, I was told to be careful casually,
I had my eyes open, but not really pay much attention.
What kind of brushes sold?
I have no idea. At first glance I thought they were brushes.
I have forgotten it.
It would be helpful if I could remember.
Yes, I'll try.
He never should have lied, that was the real mistake.
I have very clear ideas about what is right and what is wrong ...
- ... And lying is wrong. - But I was scared.
Of course I was scared. He cheated in the examination of Latin. - ... And lying is wrong. - But I was scared.
Of course I was scared. He cheated in the examination of Latin.
He knew he would find out, I knew I punished for lying.
- That makes everything a hundred times worse. - Alan? He knew he would find out, I knew I punished for lying.
- That makes everything a hundred times worse. - Alan?
Alan, are you?
- Oh God! She is my mother. - Here it is, excuse me.
I thought I heard the bell but was not sure.
It was in the garden, you see. Excuse me.
Alan, honey! Do not you show your friend?
Yes, I'm sorry. This is ... Christopher Morcom.
- How are you, Christopher? - How are you, Mrs. Turing.?
Pleased to meet you at last. Alan has told me all about you, and I said - How are you, Christopher? - How are you, Mrs. Turing.?
Pleased to meet you at last. Alan has told me all about you, and I said
Christopher invites a weekend. I never expected him to.
Is always reserved for his school friends.
I think maybe ashamed of us.
Let's move on.
Here we go.
Let's sit down, and you will sit here next to me.
Thank you.
- How long have you been in Sherborne? - A year ... Alan Turing.
- What has gone well? - A lot. - How long have you been in Sherborne? - A year ... Alan Turing.
- What has gone well? - A lot.
Choosing the right school is tremendously important, do not you think?
- I'm very impressed with Sherborne. - Not so wonderful.
Of course it is. What's wrong with it?
At least one thing: they do not treat mathematics as a serious discipline. Of course it is. What's wrong with it?
At least one thing: they do not treat mathematics as a serious discipline.
I can not believe it.
It's true. You know what our tutor said the other day?
He said "this room stinks of mathematics."
And then, looking at me, he said "Salt and brings a disinfectant spray".
I'd kidding!
No. He hates everything that has to do with science or mathematics.
Once fully convinced said that "The Germans lost the Great War
because they thought the science was more important than religion. "
But the teaching of mathematics is not the only way ...
... To judge the qualities of a school.
Yes, but that's all that matters to me.
Do you share that enthusiasm also for the sums and science?
Oh, yes, fully.
Morcom's brother is a scientist, Mom, have a laboratory at home.
For real? Morcom's brother is a scientist, Mom, have a laboratory at home.
For real?
- Chris is good with the telescope. - Really? How splendid!
Oh, it's terrible, Mrs. Turing! Absolutely splendid! - Chris is good with the telescope. - Really? How splendid!
Oh, it's terrible, Mrs. Turing! Absolutely splendid!
The other night ... did not I tell you? The other night I actually saw ...
Jupiter's satellites highlighting the eclipse.
It was incredible.
Caramba!
The sky was beautifully clear, completely cloudless.
I felt I was wandering the universe.
Jupiter, Sirius, Betelgeuse, the Andromeda nebula.
It was quite overwhelming.
- The immensity of creation. - Gosh ... What fantastic!
Yes, it all sounds very exciting, I must say.
Fascinating but far from my reach.
Is the same as the theory of Alan I spoke.
What did you say? You know, that man of Jewish name.
- Mr. Einstein. - Einstein, yes!
I did not understand a word, not a word.
We will take a tea, right?
Wash your hands, Alan; They are covered with ink.
Was Alan's cousin told my grandfather?
He was a scientist. He invented the electron.
He did not invent it, Mom. Electrons exist, can not be invented.
Well, he found or discovered or something.
He was a member of the Royal Society, very distinguished.
Wash your hands, huh? He was a member of the Royal Society, very distinguished.
Wash your hands, huh?
Come with me.
Ah ... Chris.
Sorry, Morcom, one can not choose your own mother.
She is fine.
- You know what I want ... - What?
I wish this were my home.
I mean, my own home.
We could live here, you and I,
have our own rooms, our own laboratories,
work together, share everything.
How wonderful would that life!
Yes it would be.
- Come with me, Christopher! - I have to go.
Oh, Chris!
Thanks for coming to see me today.
Do not forget to wash your hands.
"Someday my prince will come
"Someday we'll meet again
"And we will go away to his castle
"To be happy forever, I know
"Someday, when spring is here
"We'll find our love again
"And the birds will sing
"And wedding bells will ring
"Someday, when my dreams come true"
- Is someone sitting here? - Do not.
I damn cold, huh?
Authentic Christmas atmosphere.
Fucking Christmas! Authentic Christmas atmosphere.
Fucking Christmas!
How was the movie?
Oh ... it has been very good.
"Snow White". I've already seen her. Worth watching.
Yes, I think it's fine. At least for me.
Is not is about an evil witch?
Yes, yes, it gives Snow White a poisoned apple.
Nevertheless, it has a happy ending. She falls asleep Yeah, yeah, gives Snow White a poisoned apple.
Nevertheless, it has a happy ending. She falls asleep
and wakes up in the arms of the handsome prince.
It's really very moving ...
Personally, I like the intrigue ...
- ... A good intrigue. - Are you going to the movies often?
No, I can not afford it.
No longer. I am jobless.
Bad luck.
Tell me me! Now I have to stay home.
Not many whims, now. And you?
I have my own home.
- No, I mean the work. - Oh! I'm in college.
Are you too old for that.
- Well, I staff. - A teacher?
No, not exactly. We perform research work. - Well, I staff. - A teacher?
No, not exactly. We perform research work.
- What work? - Science, Mathematics.
Today we try to build a special kind of machine,
what people call "electronic brain".
- Dammit! That sounds like ... - Like what?
It sounds like a movie. What was his name? Michael Rennie.
I saw her in London. Michael Rennie and a kind of robot.
- Oh! - "The Day the earth." - "The Day the earth."
- Have you seen it? - Do not.
Oh, how cool!
So, what you do that thing that is working?
Ah ... well, they are proposed mathematical problems ... problems,
and solved very quickly. Ah ... well, they are proposed mathematical problems ... problems,
and solved very quickly.
- How fast? - Very, very fast.
Much faster than could a human being.
- As a calculating machine. - Mmm ... No, no, it's much more than that.
What we are trying to build a machine that can learn things
and eventually think for herself.
Dammit!
It's not exactly a robot, not a brain-not as a human brain.
It is what we call digital computer.
And have you thought about that?
Yeah, something like that.
- Must be interesting work well. - Yes it is.
- I could not be more so. - Not bad.
Would you like to eat something? There is a cafe down the street.
No, I can not...
- No, really, ah ... - Never mind. It's okay. No, I can not...
- No, really, ah ... - Never mind. It's okay.
Can it be another time?
If, according. When?
- This weekend? - Would you like?
- How about Friday night? - All right.
- You come to my house? - Agree.
All right. This is the address.
Come to my house. Will you know to come here?
Yes, I can find it.
All right. Come around seven, and you prepare dinner.
- Good cook, huh? - Do not give me wrong.
What is your name?
- Ron. - Alan.
- It's made a real mess. - What?
This place. - It's made a real mess. - What?
This place.
I have never seen such a mess.
And what are all those things in the bathroom?
Potassium cyanide poison.
I try to make a herbicide.
For what?
To kill weeds.
Well, buy one. You can afford it.
But I like to do things! It's fun!
What made you start all this?
Your interest in science and stuff. What made you start all this?
Your interest in science and stuff.
It has always interested me.
Even when you were a kid? It has always interested me.
Even when you were a kid?
Even then. Yes, even then.
When I was a child, the numbers were my friends.
- Do not! - My friends!
You know how kids have their secrets imaginary friends.
Friends that you can always trust.
Dolls, teddy bears ... still dressed as babies.
My friends were the numbers. Because they are wonderfully reliable.
They never break their own rules.
Then, when I was nine or ten years
I was given a book called Christmas
"Wonders of Nature that every child should know".
I thought it was the most exciting book I had ever read.
I think it was a soft to the facts of life introduction.
Something about watching some eggs, I remember.
But what the whole book could convey was
the idea that life, all life,
It is actually a large and comprehensive enterprise of science.
It is not necessary to appeal to God or the Divine Creation.
All science: minerals, plants, animals, humans.
"The body is a machine," he said.
Oh, how exciting was read! What novel,
challenging, remarkable idea that it was.
It made life seem an exciting challenging experiment, remarkable idea that was.
It made life seem an exciting experiment
and I wish with all my might take part in this experiment.
- You have always been fag? - If.
- Never you liked girls? - No. - You've always been a fag? - If.
- Never you liked girls? - Do not.
I like both. That is, girls would if I had occasion.
But it is not so easy to get. Not if you're broke.
An old Reinn bound me when I was in London.
Silk sheets; cushions on the bed. Very different from this place.
- And you still snore. - I am sorry.
Like my father. You can hear him snoring all over the damn house. - And you still snore. - I am sorry.
Like my father. You can hear him snoring all over the damn house.
- What were you doing in London? - What do you mean?
Well, I mean, you were working, holiday, what?
On holiday, I guess. I tried to find a job, but I could not. Well, I mean, you were working, holiday, what?
On holiday, I guess. I tried to find a job, but I could not.
I got full board in the slammer.
And they sent me back here on probation.
What is that place on the road?
What place?
That big shed. It is seen from the bathroom window.
Oh! It is an old aircraft hangar.
Do you know the facilities of the RAF? Oh! It is an old aircraft hangar.
Do you know the facilities of the RAF?
Well, I worked there during the war.
- You did it? - Now you know.
Where were you?
Here and there.
Doing what?
I was working for the government.
- Doing what? - Ah ... it is enough.
- Tell me. - No, I can not. I promised not to.
- Who are you promised? - When Mr. Churchill.
- Bullshit! - Why not? It is true. - Who are you promised? - When Mr. Churchill.
- Bullshit! - Why not? It is true.
A mine indiscretion could have meant losing the war!
- Oh yeah? - Of course.
Oh, hey, I'll tell you ...
I'll tell you something strange about that ... hangar. Oh, hey, I'll tell you ...
I'll tell you something strange about that ... hangar.
What is it?
largest at night it becomes.
- Larger? - Look!
- Bullshit! - It is true!
It seems in any case. Ie during the day, it's just a shed,
but when the sun sets seems to grow more and more.
I think I'll write a story about it.
Good idea.
- Do you believe it? - Why not?
Yes, it's like that film you enjoyed so much ...
- Does the robot? - If.
Yes, very creepy, very creepy ...
You will see. I guess I go inside the hangar, and is ... desert.
It is abandoned. It is very dark, you can not see anything.
And when I'm inside the door ... it slams shut behind me!
- No exit. - No exit.
And then I realize that is not a hangar at all.
I'm trapped inside a huge mechanical brain.
And that brain, the hangar, begins to play chess with me.
And I have to win, otherwise I'll never get out.
We played all day and all night ... and day and the following night ...
... But the brain is too smart for me.
I can not keep up with the movements and I'm terrified.
I'll be stuck there for the rest of my life.
You see, suddenly ... I can not think of a good finish.
Flash Gordon comes and rescues you.
Do not.
Ah ... I thought: maybe.
I could find a piece of chalk with which I wrote a series of sums
on the wall, easy, simple how are you sums,
I decided to deliberately bad, I made silly mistakes.
And I did so slowly and so badly
the brain was increasingly desperate.
And that?
The brain committed suicide.
What do you think about that?
- Flash Gordon is better. - Can be.
Do you have tea?
Yes I think so.
No, no tea. Only coffee.
- Hey! The bread is all moldy. - You can have breakfast later.
I'm starving. And no shops on Sunday.
Yes, there is at the end of the street.
Well, I'm under, okay? You have money?
But put some clothes on. Come on. I'll give you money.
I will bring bread, and some bacon.
You have been taking money from my wallet?
- What? - Now you've heard!
- I have not touched your fucking wallet. - I was fifteen pounds here ...
- ... And there are only seven. - Yes, but it has nothing to do with me
- Where did he go then? - How do I know?
- Come on, take it back. - I do not have it!
- I do not believe you. - Okay, Sign me up. - Come on, take it back. - I do not have it!
- I do not believe you. - Okay, Sign me up.
- Do not be ridiculous. - Come on, Sign me up. - You've gotten somewhere.
What are you saying? What I intend to get you money?
- You said you were short of money. - I did not do it.
- You said you had no job. - And that?
- Oh, please, Ron, return it. - Fuck you.
Come on, take it back. I will not mention it.
I'm not a thief pig!
You just said you were. You said you're on probation.
If you think I stole that money, he calls the police. Come on.
- There's the phone. What are you waiting for? - Leave it, leave it, Ron, leave! - Come on.
Look, I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
Maybe I made a mistake.
Where are you going?
- I will not stay here, dammit. - Do not go. Please do not go...
- "Please do not go" - No, no, I must have made a mistake.
I thought you were fifteen pounds, but they were not.
Come on, take the money.
Come, bring breakfast.
Bring yourself.
- Look, I told you I'm sorry. - And that?
Let's be friends.
You want money? If? How much do you need?
- I'm not a damned hustler. - I know, I know!
But if you want money ... you just have to ask.
Call loan then.
- Well, how much? - Three?
Come on, bring breakfast.
Agree.
A shirt five fish knives,
a pair of dress pants, three pairs of shoes,
an electric razor,
and half-empty bottle of sherry. That is all?
That says.
What do you think of this?
I'm not sure, sir.
Somehow it does not fit.
it is not telling us everything.
Do you think he's lying?
I think it's possible.
Let me know what happens. The superintendent knows where to find me.
Yes sir.
Handle this carefully, Ross, carefully and discreetly.
There is some concern.
Foreign Affairs wants to avoid any possible embarrassment.
I did not know that this involved the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Turing became the champion during the war.
All a big fish ... our Mr. Turing.
Winston admired him very much.
"SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND" 1940
- So did you find this well? - Oh, yes, thank you, no problem.
Silly question, I mean, here it is: of course that you found.
It is now timely. That's quite an accomplishment these days.
Churchill Wish I could follow the example of Mussolini
and make the trains run on time!
What has caught?
- I've caught this morning, actually. - This morning?
I do not want to be late!
He's been here all day!
- Yeah. - Oh, poor you!
Uh ... sit.
He must be wondering what it is.
Well, I know his reputation as ... cryptanalyst, Mr. Knox.
I assumed it has something to do with ...
decryption work they are doing here at Bletchley.
Have you heard that?
Not much, just ... rumors.
What kind of rumors?
Among my school in Cambridge.
Well, this place is secret, that is, extremely secret.
It is full of barbed wire, soldiers, passwords and stuff.
Oh, yes, I've noticed that.
I've forgotten, indeed. Did I say the password?
I have shown your letter.
He did well.
I always make dreadful mistakes that absurd password.
It must have something to do with my age.
- In what sense? - Fault memory.
We all live too long. That's the problem.
We face the destiny: the body disintegrates, crumbles mind.
My lawyer says that dentists are to blame.
The view that nature intended that we died
when we fell teeth.
But thanks to advances in dentistry
We announced and reached a miserable old age.
Good.
Hey! If?
I have not said anything. Hey! If?
I have not said anything.
What was he talking about?
- Passwords. - If.
It is assumed that this place is called as X, but everyone knows it is
School of Government Code and Cipher: the GCCS,
usually referred to also as chess Golf Club and Society.
You will have to bear with me, Turing.
I'm not an administrator, not a mathematician, but as it seems
highly likely that we will work together, we might think about having
some kind of conversation to know. It looks good?
- Yes of course. - This is your tab.
I consult it from time to time.
- Do not be alarmed. - No I am not.
I see that you have interest in codes and ciphers. How it began?
Well, I've always been interested, I think, since I was a child.
I remember getting a prize at school,
a book called "Mathematical Recreations and Essays"
and he had a chapter on cryptography. I found it fascinating.
Then, much more recently,
I realized that my ideas in mathematics and logic
They could be applied to ciphers.
I ... I see you
He supported the anti-war movement in Cambridge.
In 1933, yes.
- Would you describe yourself as a pacifist? - Do not.
- Are you sure you is not? - No. - Would you describe yourself as a pacifist? - Do not.
- Are you sure you is not? - Do not.
A war is a necessity. So most it could be justified.
Justifying how?
As a lesser evil, the last resort. Hitler has led us to the last resort.
Therefore, this war would describe as a necessary evil?
Yes. I say first that I would describe this war
as the most unfortunate interruption of my work, but ...
in my own perception ...
No, you know, I ... I believe this war is a necessary evil.
What do you know of loyalty to their country,
as a duty?
Do these considerations somehow matter to you?
In my case, England and the English themselves
They have a very important meaning for me.
But every time I hear someone appealing to my sense of patriotism
I feel they are doing something you do not want to do.
Look, I came here because I have decided for myself what would
in the present circumstances. The work sounds interesting. Look, I came here because I have decided for myself what would
in the present circumstances. The work sounds interesting.
I think I can be more useful here than on the battlefield.
A warning.
... Not imagine that the nature of the work we do here
will protect you from the moral responsibility for the death and destruction.
Sometimes ... they have to take tough decisions.
What do you think about that? Sometimes ... they have to take tough decisions.
What do you think about that?
I have always been willing, even anxious,
to accept the moral responsibility for everything I do.
Well well.
I have been discussing some details of his work, Mr. Turing,
most of which, I must say,
I have been totally incomprehensible.
I'm not surprised at all.
I was good at mathematics was when he was younger,
but this is ... well, puzzling.
For example ... this here:
"On Computable with an application to Ent-schei-Dungs-problem-numbers problem".
- Tell me something about - What?
Well, anything ... an explanation in a nutshell ...
in general terms.
- An explanation in a nutshell? - If.
- In general terms? - If it would be possible.
Good...
Is right and what is false. Good...
Is right and what is false.
In general terms.
It is a technical article of mathematical logic,
but also about the difficulty of discerning between true and false.
People think, most of the people thinks-
in mathematics always we know what is true and what is false.
Nope. No longer.
This problem has occupied mathematicians
for forty or fifty years.
I mean, how do you decide what is true and what is false.
Bertrand Russell wrote a huge book on the subject:
"Principia Mathematica". His idea was to break down
concepts and mathematical reasoning into small elements
then prove that these could be deduced from pure logic ...
but it was not quite right.
After many years of hard work, all you got to clean but it was not quite right.
After many years of hard work, all you got to clean
was show that it is incredibly difficult to do something similar.
However it was an important book. Important and influential.
He influenced both David Hilbert and Kurt Gdel.
It is rather like what physicists call split the atom.
Just as the analysis has led to the discovery atom
new physics, so the attempt to analyze
these mathematical atoms has led to a new type of mathematics.
David Hilbert took the problem to a more advanced level.
I imagine that his name will not tell much-if sounds of something-
Well, what can we do, so the world works;
people never hear of the truly great mathematicians.
Hilbert approached the problem from a totally different perspective
and proposed that any fundamental system for mathematics
like that Russell he was trying obtener-
It should meet three basic requirements:
consistency, completeness and decidability.
Consistency means that you will never find contradictions
in your own system; In other words, if you follow the rules of your system
You never end up proving that two and two make five.
Completeness implies that if a statement is true, then
there must be some way to demonstrate following the rules of your system.
And decidability requires that there be some method, a procedure
or precise technique, which applied to any mathematical statement given
allow to decide whether that statement is unprovable.
Hilbert believed that impose this set of requirements was very reasonable
but within a few years Kurt Gdel showed that no system
for mathematics could be both consistent and full time.
He got building a mathematical statement that read, in fact:
"This statement can not be proved".
A classic paradox. "This statement can not be proved".
Well, either you can or can not. If it could be demonstrated
we have a contradiction, and the system is inconsistent.
If he could not be demonstrated then the statement is true,
but it can not be demonstrated, which implies that the system is incomplete.
Thus mathematics are either inconsistent or incomplete.
It is a really beautiful beautiful theorem.
I think Godel's theorem is the most beautiful thing I know.
However the question of decidability was not yet resolved.
As I said, Hilbert thought there had to be
a unique and well-defined method
to decide whether a mathematical statement was or was not demonstrable.
He called the decision problem. The Entscheidungsproblem.
In my book "On Computable Numbers" I tried to show that there can be
a unique method that fits all issues.
Solve math problems requires
an infinite supply of new ideas.
Try was, of course, a monumental task.
He had to examine the demostrabilidad
of all mathematics, past, present and future claims.
How the hell could I do?
Finally a word gave me the clue.
People had been talking about the possibility of a mechanical method,
a method that could be applied mechanically
to solve math problems without
human intervention or wit.
Machine!
That was the crucial word.
I conceived the idea of a machine, a Turing machine,
able to interpret mathematical symbols, read if you prefer,
read a mathematical proposition
and give a verdict on whether or not that statement is unprovable. read a mathematical proposition
and give a verdict on whether or not that statement is unprovable.
With this concept I was able to show that Hilbert was wrong.
My idea worked.
Yes, I see.
Well, no, but I do see something ... I think.
The originality of his thinking is certainly admirable;
and I'm sure will be an invaluable member of our team,
group, or whatever you call it. and I'm sure will be an invaluable member of our team,
group, or whatever you call it.
We would like you started working immediately, if everything is in order.
- Of course. - All right.
Is there anything you want to ask?
No. My only concern is fitting in a place like this. Is there anything you want to ask?
No. My only concern is fitting in a place like this.
I've never been great at organizing things ... at least for myself.
I'm not sure it will work well in a government department.
You do not have to worry about that. There is a healthy unconcern ...
... By organizational formalities in GCCS.
And if it were not so, I would not be here. As far as I'm concerned,
the rules are only important in cricket, poetry And if it were not so, I would not be here. As far as I'm concerned,
the rules are only important in cricket, poetry
and academic texts.
I'm going to ask Ms. Green to enter. and academic texts.
I'm going to ask Ms. Green to enter.
You want to ask Pat to come in, please?
Patricia Green, one of our most able cryptanalysts.
Much better than any man. Patricia Green, one of our most able cryptanalysts.
Much better than any man.
But what is the job I should do?
Oh, you focus on something called the Enigma code,
which has been designed and developed by the Germans
and that is an absolute quagmire. Ah!
Pat's? Yes, come in. I present to Alan Turing.
- How is it going? - Oh! How is it going?
- Actually we already met. - Oh yeah? Where?
You gave a lecture at the Moral Science Club at Cambridge.
We met briefly at the end.
That was six ... seven years ago. We met briefly at the end.
That was six ... seven years ago.
December 1933. I remember very clearly.
I remember I said that mathematical propositions
no one but a variety of interpretations.
You opened a lot of possibilities he had never thought of.
- It was exciting. - Thank you.
- Have you found any accommodation? - Yes, The Crown, in Sandyburg Kent. - It was exciting. - Thank you.
- Have you found any accommodation? - Yes, The Crown, in Sandyburg Kent.
Oh, well, that is only three miles.
Ah ... Having bike? You will need a bicycle.
I trust you to tell Mr. Turing's all about ...
- ... The Enigma code. - Yes of course.
- What kind of code is that? - Mechanic.
The message to be transmitted is encoded using this machine.
The sender and receiver have the same equipment, of course.
Here below the keyboard are three rotors.
Alphabet letters surround each rotor. Here below the keyboard are three rotors.
Alphabet letters surround each rotor.
If one of the 'k' key is pressed for example,
It is that the 'k' is coded as 'h'.
Then the first rotor rotates.
Pressing the 'k' again,
the letter 'f' appears, and so on. Pressing the 'k' again,
the letter 'f' appears, and so on.
When the rotor has come full circle,
the second rotor does the same and then the third.
It is a poly alphabetical machine with 26 x 26 x 26 possible configurations.
- 17,576. - Exact.
- There is such a huge number. - It is not true.
A manual analysis could eventually lead to the correct setting
having enough patience, but it would take several days
and change the configuration daily.
How do you know what settings to use? and change the configuration daily.
How do you know what settings to use?
They use a code book that unfortunately do not have,
but at least we know how the machine works
and we have been able to modify one of our own machines to simulate
- ... The operation of Enigma. - Ah!
The problem is that the Germans have changed the complicating Enigma,
with what our model has become virtually obsolete.
Their operators are now equipped with a set of five rotors
three of which any can be used in any order
when they initialize the Enigma.
There are 60 possible combinations. 60. 17,576 times when they initialize the Enigma.
There are 60 possible combinations. 17,576 60 times.
They have also added a system of pins to the device,
as if it were a telephone switchboard.
Connect pairs of letters on pins
and that the exchanges before they go to the rotors, and beyond.
So there are literally billions of possible permutations. and that the exchanges before they go to the rotors, and beyond.
So there are literally billions of possible permutations.
That's what I call a problem.
The fact is that endiablado code
It is a vital part of the Nazi plan ... vital war.
He uses the infantry, and also the Luftwaffe,
perhaps most importantly, also the U-boat.
And if the U-boat get control of the North Atlantic
our merchant ships have no chance.
They will kill hunger.
So ... Enigma has to be violated.
Somehow.
absolute priority.
Oranges or lemons not have ...
... So we made fruit cocktail with apples and pears.
It has a depressing color.
Stop looking for faults, things are difficult enough these days.
- Pat comes to church with me. - Oh good.
- Do you come you, Alan, darling? - No, not today.
- Oh! - What's up?
- It is terribly sour. - Is it?
- Try a little. - I've already done it.
I'm so glad that you were able to come today!
This is so rare that Alan us to their friends. Very rare, indeed.
Of course, it was no different when I was in school.
Just came his friend Chris, that was it. lovely boy and very good family.
Mom, I do not think Pat wants to hear about my childhood friends.
Why not? It is always interesting to know something about the people you want.
- Want some more? - Oh, yes, please.
Come to church, Alan. It would be so nice that we were all together.
- Which is the reason? - There must be a reason?
It will seem idiotic, but I do not think happens Sunday afternoon in the church.
Before it was extremely devout.
I was not such a thing. You never understood what I thought.
This needs sugar. Do you have sugar?
We have only eight ounces a week,
Or people rationing does not apply like you?
People like me?
We are always hearing that people with secure jobs
He lives in the land of plenty.
Would you say you live in the land of plenty?
- Nothing of that. - Of course not.
- And stop to find out. - Find out?
If! All those hints about confidential jobs.
You know perfectly well ... we can not tell you what we do!
Okay, do not be angry. I'll see if we have sugar.
She's right about that.
About what?
Well, I'd like to know ...
I would like to know your family and friends.
- I want you to talk to them. - I do ... sometimes.
Who is Chris?
Christopher Morcom.
We went to school together.
- Clearly your mother liked. - If.
It was an extraordinary boy.
Very smart. Very insightful.
Very mature for his age.
It made all other pareciesen so common.
It was one of those intense friendships that only happen when you're young.
I worshiped the ground he walked on.
Do you you keep in touch?
Died.
One night he got sick at school.
He had tuberculosis when he was a child. I did not know. He never told me.
The next morning I heard that he had been hurriedly taken to hospital.
... He died six days later.
On Thursday February 13, 1930.
I was shattered.
Poor Alan.
I felt ... it was I who should have died, not him;
and that the only reason to live was that I should get something
Christopher had. Often I thought ...
After his death, almost she believed he was still with me ...
... In spirit, and who could help. So, I think,
My mother had the impression that I was devoutly religious.
Nothing of that. I was just ...
... Obsessed with the idea, with the question,
whether the mind of Christopher might or might not exist without his body.
It was an obsession that stayed with me for many years.
What are the mental processes?
They can result in anything other than a living brain?
You see, in a way ... actually,
many of the problems I have tried to solve in my work
They lead directly back to Christopher.
Do not you think you amuse?
I think he would like.
I hope so.
Have a look at.
It's a pineapple.
I see it's a pineapple.
Take it.
Look at her. I'll tell you something extraordinary about it.
It seems to me quite ordinary.
Defines what we mean by a succession of Fibonacci.
A Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each
is the sum of the previous two; start with one, and one plus one equals two,
one and two, three, three-two, five; three five eight ...
... Five eight, thirteen ... Okay, ten.
Now look at the pineapple.
Look at the pattern of the bracts ... leaves. Follow them ...
Coiled around the pineapple: eight lines by turning to the left,
thirteen turning clockwise. Coiled around the pineapple: eight lines by turning to the left,
thirteen turning clockwise.
The numbers always come from the Fibonacci sequence.
- Always? - Always. And not only pineapples.
Petals most flowers grow in the same way.
Is not it amazing?
Yes it is.
Which brings us to the old question:
Is God a mathematician?
I love you, Profe.
I love you. Now you know.
Yes.
You're supposed to say "I love you".
Yes, I know. You're supposed to say "I love you".
Yes, I know.
Please say something.
All right...
I do not see myself as a kind person.
Well, you are.
There are many men in Bletchley that are much nicer than me.
That's where you're wrong.
Do not be silly, of course they are,
I see them at lunchtime, back and forth, laughing, playing cricket.
I am amazed that you have not fallen in love with one of them.
Because they are boring, that's why.
I also am bored.
That's where you're wrong.
You're messy, unkempt and manners are lacking;
your clothes are stained and you bite your nails; You're messy, unkempt and manners are lacking;
your clothes are stained and you bite your nails;
tell the truth when it would be kinder to tell a lie,
and you have no patience with people who you find it heavy. But you're not boring
And I love you.
Actually, I love you too.
As a friend.
As a friend.
That could change. Maybe that could change.
Do not.
- I am gay. - I know.
This does not prevent me love. And not have to stop you from loving me.
I stop me from making love to you.
I do not want that kind of life. I stop me from making love to you.
I do not want that kind of life.
And I do not think you want it either.
Sorry to bother you at home, sir.
Oh ... it's no trouble.
- Between. - Thank you.
I've been running a few laps.
- I do not usually take the field. - Thank you.
Age comes down on me.
What form do you practice? Background...
- Sprinter, or what ...? - Fund marathon event.
I could not run marathon when I was twenty, much less now.
Sit.
Do you want to ask me some questions?
Yes, sir, it is.
First I think we should try to clarify his story.
What story?
The young man who came to your house to sell things ...
- ... Brushes and stuff, you said. - If.
We have good reason to believe that you are lying.
He is lying?
Yes.
Why?
I am sorry. It was foolish on my part.
Would you like to tell me what really happened?
Well, there was no brush salesman. A friend told me the thief ...
- ... George. - A friend?
Yes.
How did this friend about the theft?
Oh, I did not know, exactly. I guess it.
How did you guess?
Ah ... well, I was drinking with George in a cafe
and he mentioned me, my friend mentioned me.
He told where to live. He had come to dinner.
My friend. He had come to dinner just a few days before,
and I was telling everything to George. And then ... when the robbery occurred My friend. He had come to dinner just a few days before,
and I was telling everything to George. And then ... when the theft occurred
I mentioned to my friend ...
and then she told me it could have been George. He knew that George was ...
petty thief, or whatever. It was just a guess.
- But her friend was right. - Did he?
Detectives found something that was here in the house.
That man, George, has a criminal record.
Oh I see. So that proves it. Yes, I see.
That his friend: how is it called?
Mmm ... Ron. Ron Miller.
A colleague at the university?
Ah ... well, no.
- A known. - Yes something like that.
How long have you known him long?
- Not much. - How long?
Ah ... three or four weeks.
How did you meet?
Already knows. Casually. How did you meet?
Already knows. Casually.
- So it's just a casual acquaintance? - If.
- Never call him a close friend? - Do not! - So it's just a casual acquaintance? - If.
- Never call him a close friend? - Do not!
So why did you lie to hide his identity?
- Well, I did not want him in trouble. - Why not?
After all, it was partly responsible for his house was stolen.
- No, I would not say that. - What would you say?
- Well, I would not say responsible. - Partly responsible.
Good. It is hard to say, is that clear? In other words, it is difficult to say exactly ...
participation in this, in fact, what was ... is.
- He gave George his direction. - Yes. Your participation in this, in fact, what was ... is.
- He gave George his direction. - If.
And presumably he knew that George had a criminal record.
If!
So, why all the lies told to protect?
Well, because I'm having an affair with him.
With Miller?
With Ron. Yes.
Are you having a sexual relationship with this man?
Yes.
What kind of sexual relationship?
How many types are there?
You tell me, sir.
What do you know exactly?
I need to understand the exact nature of the sexual relationship.
You mean ... you know what we did?
That would help.
Good.
Since the question was not more than a mere mutual masturbation.
- Did penetration? - Do not!
Do you realize what you said? That's a crime.
Look, is not this irrelevant?
I thought we were trying to establish who stole my house.
That is a part, yes.
It's a part !, part of what?
I just said that he has committed a crime! I can not ... I can not ignore.
- What crime? - Outrage morality.
Ah, look, I do not corromp Ron. He knew exactly what he was doing.
He came to my house-my house, not forgot-
well aware that we probably would sleep together.
It was not a surprise for him. He has had a lot of homosexual experiences.
It is absurd to speak of crimes. It was not a surprise for him. He has had a lot of homosexual experiences.
It is absurd to speak of crimes.
And it all happened here, in private.
In my own home, in private.
If I did not I would never have said I would have known.
But me what he said.
Could not you forget?
Can not?
How old is this man, Miller?
Nineteen twenty...
And how old are you, sir?
You see, I should not tell. I always say things I should not.
Surely it is not necessary to make a fuss about it.
You can probably forget what I said.
Can not?
I'm not asking for much.
Please?
Good...
What is ... what my position if I make a statement?
- Do you want me to do? - That depends on you, sir.
Anyway...
Okay, I'll make a statement.
Wants me to go to the police station ... I'll get dressed.
Pat tells me that has managed to decode some messages from the German U-boat.
Yes, for a while we thought we had done, but ...
now it seems that the Germans have improved Enigma machines
so we must find a new way in.
I know how to do, Knox, but we need faster machines.
Well, at least the government is probably aware
how important is your job. Well, at least the government is probably aware
how important is your job.
"The geese that laid the golden eggs", is not that what Churchill said?
Oh, but he meant to all of us. "The geese that laid the golden eggs", is not that what Churchill said?
Oh, but he meant to all of us.
- You in particular. - That's very flattering, Knox.
- It makes me feel uncomfortable. - And why is that?
Well, I feel its sting in the tail, approaching.
Well, not a sting, exactly.
I've heard he's been stringing your cup of tea to the radiator.
Oh, it's a reasonable precaution! Teacups are very slim.
Some people find it irritating.
Well, I find it irritating that some people find it irritating.
I think it could be a little more discreet.
WHAT ABOUT my cup of tea?
About that young engineer who is working with you.
Talents have been set in motion.
Can I expect a lesson in morality?
Common sense.
I mean I do not care if you decide to go to bed
with choirboys or cocker spaniels,
but it would be wiser to keep his private life secret.
Is this an official warning?
Friendly advice, nothing more.
I mean ... first things first.
What we are doing here, and especially what you are doing here,
It has a direct and decisive influence on the progress of the war.
Well ... a very young engineer
It occupies a second place to that, no doubt. Well ... a very young engineer
It occupies a second place to that, no doubt.
I thought you said the rules are only important in cricket.
Oh, it's so absurd this modern obsession with sexual satisfaction!
Passion is terribly overrated, in my opinion.
One is happiest when sex is a vaguely remembered pleasure,
as climbing apple trees or build sandcastles.
But it will not expect you to agree with that!
Well, like everyone else, I can only speak from personal experience.
I've been happily married for over twenty years and am glad to say that
Passion has never played a significant role in our relationship.
You can rely more on understanding and companionship.
Passion is always ... ephemeral. You can rely more on understanding and companionship.
Passion is always ... ephemeral.
Or maybe a brief moment of passion is worth more
twenty years of companionship without events.
I did not say that elapsed uneventfully.
Anyway, we do not talk about me, talk about you.
Yes. I heard that you are not very good.
- And that has to do? - Nothing. He was changing the subject.
Ah ... a lot of people, as administrators and military,
Bletchly regarded as the hotbed of anarchy and indiscipline.
They pray for an excuse to remedy.
- But just say the malicious. - Maybe.
What good is having a system ...
giving authority to people who do not deserve it?
You say that I complain. Holy God! Of course I am complaining!
He was not doing anything. You know, like me.
No one understood what the crux of the problem.
This was not a matter of more things, more money ...
We needed new ideas, electronics and industry.
And you were doing absolutely nothing about it.
If I had not dealt with Mr. Churchill,
if it had gone through the usual circle of appropriate channels,
we would be stuck, idly, without getting anywhere.
You know these people what Churchill responded to my letter? He knows?
"Make sure they have everything they want with utmost priority".
- I know, I know. - That's what he wrote. "Run now"
I know, and I'm not saying you do things wrong.
I'm just trying to explain, with such unorthodox methods, I know, and I'm not saying you do things wrong.
I'm just trying to explain, with such unorthodox methods,
the cause considerable annoyance.
All that matters is the work we do. Differences of opinion,
the character differences should not count on this.
- True, but count. - But they should not.
You can not go through life ignoring the effect it has on others,
or effect others have on one.
- You can try. - Okay, I'll give you an example.
A few minutes ago he asked me about my health. - You can try. - Okay, I'll give you an example.
A few minutes ago he asked me about my health.
Suppose I say I have a fatal disease,
and it left me a year, more or less.
Suppose I'm broken, broken.
Suppose I open my heart and say I do not want to die, I suppose broken, shattered.
Suppose I open my heart and say I do not want to die,
I'm scared and ... desperate.
Well, I do not think you received welcome such a revelation.
I'm sure you would find distressing, embarrassing, Well, I do not think you received welcome such a revelation.
I'm sure you would find distressing, embarrassing,
and somewhat inconsiderate.
And so, being aware of your feelings as mine,
it would seem that would be the right time and right ... And so, being aware of your feelings as mine,
it would seem that would be the right time and right ...
I ... moderase my answer.
Do you dying is being?
Similarly, or so it seems to me,
when you reveal the nature of their sexuality,
You can not afford to ignore the effect it will have on people.
Fear, for example ...
when people are asked to accept something you do not understand.
O ... anger,
when you reveal without shame,
It is contrary to everything we have always believed.
And pain ...
It will cause a lot of pain.
Not himself, though necessarily concern me, anyway,
but ... ... people who are close to you ...
all you want.
Pain ... a lot of pain.
I think I'll have a drink after all.
You come with me?
No thanks.
Your friend Wittgenstein
once he wrote something that impressed me deeply.
I sat, you know, with this book in hand
and I memorized what he had written.
This is what he said:
"We feel ... that even if ... all ...
science questions to be answered reach,
life problems continue ... without being resolved. "
Who?
It's me.
Alan, honey! It's me.
Alan, honey!
Oh, you're so silly, why do not you tell me you were coming?
He was not sure he could do. I did not want to disappoint.
It's a wonderful surprise. I'm very happy.
Oh, look at that hideous jacket! I'd like you take care of her.
How long can you stay? Do not tell me you have to go in the morning.
Ah, yes ... you may have to do.
Does not matter. Do not think about it.
I have completely redecorated guest room.
Beautiful curtains, patterned.
Mom ... listen, I have something to tell you.
Something nice?
No, I'm afraid not.
You had not come here to tell me something nice. What is it?
Well ... I have a problem.
What kind of problem?
A serious problem.
Tell me.
Well ... it's so ... hard to explain.
Does it have anything to do with money?
Do not.
Look ... you know that I have never much interested women.
People in your class so rarely is.
My class?
What do you mean, my class?
People who spend life with my head buried in books.
It has nothing to do with it.
What is it then?
I...
I have no sexual feelings towards women.
Probably that's why people seem so divorced these days. I have no sexual feelings towards women.
Probably that's why people seem so divorced these days.
Mom ... please listen. Would you please try to understand?
I'm doing the best I can.
Police have discovered that I have an affair with a man.
- A man? - If.
I am sorry.
There is no other way to tell.
You mean a fag? Do you think you will get out in the newspapers?
I do not know ... Maybe.
Thank God, your father is not alive. I was so proud of you!
Have you always ...? I mean...
- Have you always been like this? - If.
Always? - Have you always been like this? - If.
Always?
Yes.
But what about that girl you were engaged? What was his name? Pat.
Mom! ... I was never engaged to her.
But you love her.
He was fond, yes. I loved her as a friend.
What is going to happen?
There will be a trial.
- Do you wear to court? - If.
- Will you go to prison? - Possibly.
How did the police found out?
Did you get caught? Have you found that man?
I told him.
Why? ... Why!
Excuse me.
Oh, Alan!
How you could touch a man like that? How could you do such a thing?
- Will that affect your career? - Can be.
- How? - I do not know!
What can I do to help you?
Well ... nothing.
But there must be something I can do.
Leave me please. You look so helpless.
This is how I feel.
Do you remember when you were in Hazelhurst?
You had to have ten or eleven years.
We had all been in Scotland for the summer holidays. You had to have ten or eleven years.
We had all been in Scotland for the summer holidays.
You remember?
Lochinver.
Dad went fishing for trout.
I draw. We drank tea picnics on the grass.
And then we had to return to India, and you had to go back to school,
- Back to Hazelhurst. - If.
- You remember? - Yes ... I remember. - Back to Hazelhurst. - If.
- You remember? - Yes ... I remember.
We took a taxi to school, and when we turn away
You tried to run after us.
You ran down the road behind the cab.
Your arms were wide;
Your mouth was open; You were saying something,
shouting something; but I could not hear what it was.
There were some bushes at the school gates; rhododendrons, I think. shouting something; but I could not hear what it was.
There were some bushes at the school gates; rhododendrons, I think.
They were like a big green curtain that was running in front of my eyes.
Bushes you reached for my hand. He could not see.
I remember I was almost breathless panic. Bushes you reached for my hand. He could not see.
I remember I was almost breathless panic.
I wanted to jump out of the cab, running back and hold you in my arms forever.
I had no idea you felt that way.
At 9 pm, Mr. Turing,
He left the room to make a phone call.
He left his jacket on the chair arm and sustraje eight pounds of her.
After a while, she came into the kitchen again.
I was bent over me, she puts her head on my shoulder
and he took my hand between her legs.
I made another straw, but he never touched me.
No I did for my own sexual benefit,
but because I heard you paid for it.
I'll never do, even if I have chance. I know it's wrong.
Okay, Miller. Sign here.
- Only tea, tea with pastries. - Thank you.
Glad to see you, prof.
Glad to see you, too.
Thanks for coming to see me.
Well, I wanted you to know what happened
and I wanted to hear it from me, and ... you know, second-hand.
Thank you.
Oh, it's in the Sunday papers.
One headline read: "The defendant had a big brain."
So it could not be worse, I guess.
Although I used the last time, so I'm not worried.
I thought of you, very much. It must have been horrible.
No, actually it was not as bad as I feared.
I was put in the cells during the trial.
Being behind bars was not in any way unpleasant.
It was a wonderful lack of responsibility, Being in jail was by no means unpleasant.
It was a wonderful lack of responsibility,
as if I were to be in school.
Did you think you were going to put in prison?
No, not really.
No. It was an offender with no history, after all.
It is laughable ... offender with no history.
No, I thought the chances were that I put on probation.
- They're giving drugs. - Which?
They're giving estrogen.
female sex hormones. It is supposed to eliminate male sexual desire.
But it's only for a year. Then everything returns to normal, hopefully.
That's horrible. Can not you refuse?
I have not, no, no, requested to do so.
I got paroled always to accept drug treatment.
- They're growing breasts. - Oh, Alan!
And no one seems to know whether or not disappear when you stop taking drugs.
- All right. We'll have to wait and see. - Horrible.
The sense of shame is high.
I keep wondering if I should wear a bra.
Your mother did you know?
Yes, I was afraid to tell her.
We will certainly be feared!
In this case, it was wonderful.
Extraordinary.
This seems we could have together more.
I'm glad.
Yes me too.
What happened to the boy?
The boy? Oh! They have given probation.
Works in London, I think. You know, I never see.
Here you go sir.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- So you married! - If.
- Jobless? - Only housewife.
- You are happy? - If.
Well, I guess so. I do not think much about it.
That means that you are.
I hope you're not too unhappy.
No I'm unhappy at all!
I have very good friends.
I had a very lively holiday.
- Norway. - Norway? I had a very lively holiday.
- Norway. - Norway?
There are no legal problems in Norway.
I was told that there are places where they have dances for men.
Not true, unfortunately.
But I met a charming young man named Kjell.
By the way, he has written me want to come stay ...
a few days, maybe for a while.
Obviously I caused a good impression.
What kind of work are you doing?
- I'm at the University of Manchester. - Yes I already know that.
We have built a digital computer.
Remember my theories about a universal machine? Well, we have done.
We have built one, and it is all thanks to the work we did in Bletchley.
How exiting! It must have been very exciting.
And I'm using the computer to simulate
growth patterns of plants and animals.
As the Fibonacci pattern in a pineapple.
- Remember when I told you about that? - If.
One summer evening, when you thought you were in love with me.
I went to church with your mother and I cried throughout the sermon. One summer evening, when you thought you were in love with me.
I went to church with your mother and I cried throughout the sermon.
You have not changed one iota in Ireland.
- It is very kind of you to say that. - Is not true!
Oh, it seems to have been long since Bletchley. - It is very kind of you to say that. - Is not true!
Oh, it seems to have been long since Bletchley.
- It is not true. - A lifetime!
I wonder if your cup of tea is still chained to the radiator.
No ... you know, I was scolded for it.
- Who? - Well, Dilly Knox.
Poor Mr. Knox.
I went to see him when he was ill, near the end.
- It was good of you. - Oh, I was fond of him.
I was so sick, I was praying for him in the Church.
Mr. Knox had his theories.
"Christianity is a scam two thousand years," he said.
"It makes you fear, nothing to fear, and wait, with nothing to expect."
Oh! It was an extraordinary man.
I guess you knew he was gay.
What?
With a homosexual inclination.
He had a kind of romance with Maynard Keynes.
Knox? He had a kind of romance with Maynard Keynes.
Knox?
When he was young.
Are you sure?
My uncle went to school with him.
Holy God.
With Lytton Strachey, too, but that was in Cambridge, not Eton.
- Was ... was Lytton Strachey lover? - Apparently ... I thought you knew.
I had no idea. He never dropped a clue.
I think no one paid much attention to that. I think I was very clear ...
- ... In your college. - Holy God Almighty.
Everything was gone. He was in love with his wife. - ... In your college. - Holy God Almighty.
Everything was gone. He was in love with his wife.
Oh, yeah, I said it.
Well, that's what you do, right?
Have an adventure when you're young, and settle later.
I should have married you.
Yes, this never happened.
He should have played by the rules.
Why did not you do it?
I could not.
Mr. Turing, sorry to keep you waiting. Everything is a mess here today.
My secretary took temporary flu and seems not to know what you are doing.
- Sit down please. - Thank you.
I'm glad you came advising him on such short notice.
- Thank you very much. - Your letter was rather vague.
- It was? - Well, officer, but vague.
Well, it's just one of those things that are best done in person by phone.
Basically it's just a matter of keeping in touch.
What does it mean? Basically it's just a matter of keeping in touch.
What does it mean?
You're a brilliant man, Mr. Turing,
unique in many ways, and there is no reason to try to deny it.
IM not going to do it.
This country has always tended to underestimate his brilliant men. IM not going to do it.
This country has always tended to underestimate his brilliant men.
That's a mistake, a serious mistake.
We can not afford to make mistakes like that.
Who are you? I have no idea who this is.
Sorry Sorry sorry. My name is Smith, John Smith.
Nobody believes. Step terrible moments with hotel receptionists. Sorry Sorry sorry. My name is Smith, John Smith.
Nobody believes. Step terrible moments with hotel receptionists.
In any case, the question is this.
It would be absurd to pretend that his homosexuality has not created problems ...
- ... Some concerns. - To who?
But as long as we can discuss this situation reasonably ...
I am sure that these concerns could be minimized. But as long as we can discuss this situation reasonably ...
I am sure that these concerns could be minimized.
What concerns?
As I said, it's just a matter of keeping in touch.
It's ... you talking about security problems!
So is.
Thanks to Messrs. Burgess and MacLean Americans are increasingly nervous.
After all, they have access to extremely sensitive information.
There is a general feeling of malaise.
About me?
Of course we know that you are a man of great integrity.
Its essential loyalty has never been questioned.
But?
All things have to be considered.
Such as...?
Can you say with honesty that never, under any circumstances,
reveal something of the nature of their work ...
any of his lovers?
No, of course not.
'No, I would,' or 'no, I would not'?
No, I can not say with complete honesty, 'No, I would,' or 'no, I would not'?
No, I can not say with complete honesty,
that this situation never come.
Neither are you. Who could?
In that case, our attention turns to his ... mate choice.
You seem to have an unusually wide variety of friends.
Oh, you mean it would be nice that I went to bed with other mathematicians.
Preferably one of the oldest universities. Oh, you mean it would be nice that I went to bed with other mathematicians.

Best with what Americans call security clearance.
Yes, I'm sure that would make them much happier.
I am sorry. We solve this.
What you must understand is that their work with the intelligence service
It implies that it is not free to behave as they wish.
You've had an extremely unusual access to secret information.
That carries a strong, if not extraordinary responsibility.
I am aware of it.
Yes, I'm sure it is.
It may seem intrusive.
- In fact, we try to be helpful. - How?
Avoiding any new misjudgment.
What does that mean exactly?
... This young Norwegian Kjell.
I think it would be unwise to visit you here.
- How do you know about Kjell? - Someone told me.
- Who? - I forgot it. For real.
Am I being watched?
Kjell can not afford any risk Mr Turing, should realize.
Have I been exposed to someone pushed me under a bus?
Yes, you have to forgive. I tend to exaggerate the problem. Have I been exposed to someone pushed me under a bus?
Yes, you have to forgive. I tend to exaggerate the problem.
As I said, it's just a matter of staying in touch.
Exactly what does that mean?
We would like to be informed of any change of residence,
any changes in their working lives, foreign travel, that sort of thing.
Are you thinking of going abroad this year?
Yes, I will go to Greece.
When?
In May.
What part of Greece?
Corfu.
That is very nice. You'll like it a lot.
May is the perfect time to go.
I want you to know that I do not regret
my relationship with the intelligence service.
The work I did in Bletchley was very important to me. my relationship with the intelligence service.
The work I did in Bletchley was very important to me.
- Yes, I'm sure it was. - Yes, important!
In a sense that you probably can not understand.
Look, let me explain something.
In order to unravel the messages encoded by the Enigma machine,
we had to make certain deductions. We had to deduct
the position of the rotors of the machine for each transmission.
In other words, we had to build a chain of logical deductions
for each of the positions of the rotors.
If this chain of deductions led you to a contradiction,
that meant that you were wrong and had to try the following
rotor position and start all over again. And so one, and again and again.
It was a laborious task, an impossible length.
We did not know what to do, and then suddenly,
a spring afternoon, just after lunch,
I remembered a conversation I had with Wittgenstein.
We discussed on an elementary theorem of mathematical logic
which states that the contradiction ... ... any ... proposition implies,
and I realized immediately that
if we could build a machine that contained the idea,
a machine that would decipher the code quickly enough.
Would have to be a machine with electrical relays and logic circuits,
recognize that detects contradictions and consistencies.
If your assumption is incorrect, electricity would flow through
of all hypotheses related and eliminated in a flash.
If your hypothesis was correct, everything would be consistent,
and the electric current would stop in the right combination.
Our machine would be able to analyze billions of permutations
at an incredible speed, and with a little luck
It gives us the way in.
What a moment!
Extraordinary ... absolutely extraordinary.
I remember that beautiful sunny day.
(The grass had just been cut.)
(Everything smelled of wet grass.)
(I could hear the laughter of men playing around)
(I felt a wonderful sense of triumph and joy)
But it did not take me long to realize
that is not decipher the code that matters ...
It is the way you take later.
That's the real problem.
You see, more than mathematics needed
and clever electronics to break the Enigma of the U-boat.
determination, tenacity ... moral fiber is required, if you prefer.
That's why he was so deeply satisfying.
Everything fit perfectly there. All the threads of my life.
My job as a mathematician. My interest in the secret keys.
My ability to solve practical problems.
My love for my country!
You trusted me then. Why not now?
"Someday my prince will come
"Someday we'll meet again
"And we will go away to his castle
"To be happy forever, I know
"Someday, when spring is here
"We'll find our love again
"And the birds will sing
"And wedding bells will ring
"Someday, when my dreams come true"
These are the personal belongings of his son.
As you know some had to be examined
before the examiner to complete his report.
You have to make sure everything is.
It is necessary?
Not if it bothers you.
I think I'll leave.
I kept this separately.
It's your medal. Your OBE (OBE)
- I was afraid that might be lost. - Thank you.
So sign this, please?
There.
That's it. Thank you.
Not know I had the OBE he never told me.
Why was?
A job he did in the war.
I do not know what it was.
There are so many things that I know nothing, so many things I do not understand ...
Yes. It's a sad affair. I am so sorry.
Of course, there has been a terrible mistake.
In what way?
With the verdict of the coroner.
Oh well.
To say that Alan took his own life is totally ridiculous.
Everyone knew he was doing experiments ... that never washed her hands, ever.
Obviously, it was a tragic accident.
I really could not give an opinion, Mrs. Turing.
You know him.
Do you think that kind of man would commit suicide think?
It's been two or three years since I saw him.
You never know what people might do in extreme circumstances.
Let me tell you something about my son.
His first day at Sherborne turned out to be the first day of the general strike.
Made bike all the way from Southampton to Sherborne,
sixty miles, to make getting to school on time.
They dedicated a report in the local press.
A boy could do that, never remove their own life.
And he was too young. It had everything to live for, everything!
Alan Turing was awarded the OBE in 1946.
He died in 1954.
In 1993 part of the beltway Manchester
It was named "Alan Turing Way" in his honor. In 1993 part of the beltway Manchester
It was named "Alan Turing Way" in his honor.
The Mayor of Manchester said:
Alan Turing has never received the recognition it deserves.
We now have the opportunity to do justice.
