The Imitation Game

The Power of Knowledge Against Nazism

Hugh Alexander My God, you did it. You just defeated Nazism with a crossword puzzle.

John Cairncross There are five people in the world who know the position of every ship in the Atlantic. They are all in this room.

Joan Clarke Oh, good God.

Hugh Alexander Oh, I don't think even He has the power that we do right now.

Joan Clarke No. There's going to be an attack on a British passenger convoy. Right there.

[getting closer to map]

John Cairncross God, you're right. Those U-boats are only twenty, thirty minutes away.

Joan Clark Civilians. Hundreds of them. We can save their lives.

John Cairncross And knock out a whole German fleet in the process.

Hugh Alexander I'll phone Denniston's office so that he can alert the Admiralty.

Alan Turing No.

Joan Clarke Do you think there's enough time to save them?

John Cairncross There should be. If we can get a message to that convoy—

Hugh Alexander Commander Denniston's office please, it's urgent—

[into phone]

Alan Turing No, no!

[grabs and hangs up phone]

Hugh Alexander What the hell are you doing?

Alan Turing You-you can't call Denniston. You-you can't tell him about the attack.

Hugh Alexander What are you talking about?

John Cairncross We can have air support over that convoy in ten minutes.

Alan Turing Let the U-boats sink the convoy.

John Cairncross Look, it's been a big day, maybe you're suffering from—

Alan Turing Oh, shut up—

Hugh Alexander We don't have time—

[tries to grab phone back]

Alan Turing No!

Joan Clarke Oh, Hugh! Hugh! Stop! That's enough!

John Cairncross Stop, Hugh!

Peter Hilton John, the attack is in minutes.

Joan Clarke Are you all right?

[rushes to Alan's side]

Alan Turing Yes, no, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm fine. Do you know why people like violence, Hugh? It's because it feels good. Sometimes we can't do what feels good. We have to do what is logical.

[to Hugh]

John Cairncross What's logical?

Alan Turing The hardest time to lie is when the other person is expecting to be lied to.

Joan Clarke Oh, God.

[getting it]

John Cairncross What?

Alan Turing If someone's waiting for a lie, you can't just, uh, give them one.

Joan Clarke Damn it, Alan's right.

Peter Hilton What?

Alan Turing What would the Germans think if we destroy their U-boats?

Peter Hilton Nothing. They'll be dead.

John Cairncross No. No, you can't be right.

Alan Turing So our convoy suddenly veers off course... a squadron of our air bombers miraculously descends on the coordinates of the U-boats... what will the Germans think?

Hugh Alexander The Germans will know that we have broken Enigma.

Joan Clarke They'll stop all radio communications by midday, and they'll have changed the design of Enigma by the weekend.

Hugh Alexander Yes.

Alan Turing Two years work. Everything we've done here will all be for nothing.

John Cairncross There are 500 people in that convoy. Women. Children. We're about to let them die.

Alan Turing Our job isn't to save one passenger convoy, it is to win the war.

Hugh Alexander Our job was to crack Enigma.

Alan Turing Oh, we've done that. Now for the hard part. Keeping it a secret.

Peter Hilton Carlisle.

Joan Clarke What?

Peter Hilton The convoy you're about to... it's, uh... The HMS Carlisle is one of the ships. We can't act on every piece of intelligence? So fine, we won't. Just this one.

[points to the map]

Joan Clarke Peter, what's the matter with you?

Peter My brother's... well, he's on the Carlisle. A gunnery ensign.

Alan Turing I'm... I'm so sorry.

Peter Hilton Who the hell do you think you are? This is my brother. He's my big brother, alright, and you have a few minutes to call off his murder.

Alan Turing We can't.

John Cairncross He's right.

Peter Hilton Alan. Joan. Hugh. John. Please, I... the Germans, they won't get suspicious just because we stopped one attack. No one will know. I'm asking you. As your friend. Please.

Alan Turing I'm so sorry.

Peter Hilton You're not God, Alan. You don't get to decide who lives and who dies.

Alan Turing Yes, we do.

Peter Hilton Why?

Alan Turing Because no one else can.

The Imitation Game

Debate on Agreement Among Colleagues

Hugh Alexander So who do you agree with? Alan or myself?

Helen Well, Alan, of course.

Alan Turing I'm very flattered really, but I... I don't think that...

[stammering; Joan kicks him under the table]

Hugh Alexander Rubbish.

Helen Well, I work beside a man every day, and I can't help but have developed a bit of a crush on him.

Hugh Alexander Well, who is this man? So I can kick his arse.

Helen Oh, there's no need to worry, it's been chaste. We've never even met. He's a German.

Hugh Alexander Now I really want to kill him.

Alan Turing Er... How... How do you mean you work alongside a German?

Helen Well, each of us intercepts messages from a specific German radio tower. So we have a counterpart on the other side, who's tip-tapping out the messages. Everyone types a touch differently, so you get to know the rhythm of your counterpart. It's strangely intimate. I feel as if I know him so well. It's a pity he has a girlfriend, but that's why I disagree with you, Mr. Alexander, because I'm in love with a coworker of sorts and we've never even met.

Hugh Alexander Well, allow me to buy you another pint and I'll tell you why you're wrong.

Helen Let's.

Hugh Alexander Excellent.

Joan Clarke In case you were wondering, that's what flirting looks like.

Alan Turing HELEN!

[loudly]

Joan Clarke Alan!

[slightly embarrassed, as his shout has drawn attention to them]

Helen Yes, Alan?

Alan Turing Why do you think your German counterpart has a girlfriend?

[gets up and faces her]

Helen It's just a stupid joke. Don't worry about it.

Alan Turing No, no, no, no, no, tell me.

Helen Well, each of his messages begins with the same five letters. C-I-L-L-Y. So I suspect that Cilly must be the name of his amore.

Alan Turing But that's impossible. The Germans are instructed to use five random letters at the start of every message.

Helen Well, this bloke doesn't.

Hugh Alexander Love will make a man do strange things, I suppose.

Alan Turing In this case.... love just lost Germany the whole bloody war!

John Cairncross I said we're off to get some lu- This is starting to get a little bit repetitive.

John Cairncross I had asked if you wanted to come have lunch with us.

Alan Turing Uhm, no you didn't, you said you were going to get some lunch.

John Cairncross Have I offended you in some way?

Alan Turing Why would you think that?

John Cairncross Would you like to come to lunch with us?

Alan Turing What time's lunch time?

Hugh Alexander Christ Alan, it's a bleeding sandwich.

Hugh Alexander Lunch.
