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 f***ing 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. - F*** 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.
