Home 's been ransacked. You will listen closely and you will not judge me until I am Hnished. If you cannot commit to this, then please leave the room. Come in. But if you choose to stay, remember; you chose to be here. What happens from this moment forward is not my responsibility.
It's yours. Pay attention. What's all this, then? Turing, Alan. Professor at King's. What of? Well, that's just it. Nothing missing, really. Something with machines. I checked but he won't say what it's on. Professor Turing? Sergeant Staehl here tells me you had a burglary last night. Take a step back and don't breathe heavily. It wouldn't take more than a thimbleful to kill you. Sergeant Staehl, is it just me or do you get the sense that we're being insulted? Your neighbour Mr Springborn called to report the noise.
It's odd. So how about you tell us what happened and we'll find the chap who did this. Gentlemen, I don't believe that you could find the chap that did this if he walked up to you and spat in your face. What I could use right now is not a bobby but a really good cleaning lady. So unless one of you has an apron in your car, I suggest you tile your reports and leave me alone.
Best of luck with your cyanide. I'll give you a quid if you can name me a more insufferable sod. Seemed a bit forced, though, didn't it? Don't know what you mean. Well, if you didn't want a pair of bobbies digging around in your personal affairs, that'd have been a stellar way to make sure they don't. Tell me you don't think this is suspicious. A mysterious professor who won't admit he's had something stolen from his house?
War declared! Fresh off the press. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received. And that consequently this country is at war with Germany. As the days pass the spinning continues until Denniston is improved of the lack of a solution.
Denniston finally thinks he has his chance to rid himself of Turing. They turn off Christopher and Denniston tells Turing he his fired and to be escorted off the premises. Hugh Alexander is able to get a month reprieve from Denniston. Sgt Staehl was following Turing under orders from Nock. Staehl followed Turing to a pub where he witnessed an envelope exchange. Later when Staehl caught the other gentleman and interrogated him he discovered that he was a male prostitute.
Staehl learns that Turing is gay and was paying for sex. When Staehl reports this to Nock, in the presence of the Superintendent who told Nock to drop it; Nock is disappointed that Turing is not a spy. The Superintendent tells Staehl to pick Turing up anyway since homosexuality is illegal. Nock gets permission to interrogate Turing — not willing to give up that Turing is spying. Joan drops a bombshell that she is leaving to return home to her parents. Turing is still Turing and in asking her to stay basically insults her reasons for leaving and says she can make something of her life by staying.
He pulls a piece of electrical wire he just happens to have in his pocket — creates an engagement ring — and proposes. John tells Turing he already had suspicions that Turing was gay and that he had better keep it to himself since it is illegal. Turing wants a family and children — but is not sure he can fake it — should he tell Joan? Outside his dorm the boys are retiring from break. Nock tries appealing to Turing by asking if machines can think.
Turing tells Nock it is really a test to determine if the entity answering a question is man, or a machine imitating man. The team walks dejectedly back to the work hut grumbling if they only knew what the message already was — they could decrypt it. In the beer hut the men are over at their table eyeing the women over at their table.
Hugh and Helen, friend of Joan, make eyes at each other and finally Hugh asks Turing for an introduction. As Hugh tries to have a go at Helen she tells the story of her daily activity of intercepting radio messages from the same German tower every day — saying how intimate it seems as they get to know each other through the way he types. Turing explains to the team that if Christopher only had to search for the decryption on words he knows — he could come up with the cypher.
They run to the machine hut as a group and program Christopher with the message and the code as it came in that morning. They turn on the machine. The machine stops in minutes. They write down the cypher and head back to the work hut.
They enter the cypher into their captured Enigma machine — and proceed to decode their first message! In characteristic fashion everyone is jumping and hugging — except for Turing. The can see an attack is coming from the German U-boats on an Allied passenger convoy — hundreds of lives at risk.
In order to save them Hugh begins to dial and report the pending attack. Hugh is about to go at Turing again when Joan steps in — taking the blow instead. Joan pushes Hugh to the floor next to Turing. While the team is dealing with this Peter Hilton reveals his brother is on one of the ships in the convoy. They inform him of the plan to keep the breaking of Enigma secret. They will use statistics to determine which attacks to stop and which to let happen. They tell Menzies he must come up with the cover stories — and keep Turing from being fired by Denniston.
Yes that sound right up my alley. But you are exactly the man I always hoped you would be. Each day the code is broken and messages decrypted.
At this moment Turing realizes John is the Soviet spy — since the cypher for the coded messages given to the Soviets was a bible passage. John sees that Turing has figured it out. The flat has been ransacked and Menzies is there. He tells Turing Joan is in prison because of all the Enigma messages in the flat — messages that Turing brought her a year ago. Menzies tells Turing he knew that all along and in fact it is the reason Cairncross was assigned to Bletchley.
Now Turing is part of the scheme as he has to work for Menzies to get the right information exposed to Carincross and the to the Soviets.
And by the way — Joan was never in prison — just at the market. As tries to convince her to do so she tells him she is safe there versus anywhere else. He tries a different tact — telling her he is a homosexual and they cannot be engaged anymore. He will not give up and finally tells her he was just using her to break Enigma and he never cared for her. She slap him, calls him a monster — but makes it clear she is not leaving as this work is too important to her.
Alan tries to deny that he an Christopher Morcom were friends but the headmaster provides fact after fact that Morcom was his only friend. The headmaster is leading up to the news that Morcom is dead from Bovine Tuberculosis.
Morocm never told Turing. Turing still denies being close to him and asks to leave. Turing speaks to all the major victories that would not have been possible with out the breaking of Enigma — and the cold calculus that decided what to reveal and what to keep secret.
The sequence follows the team making a decision of what ship to save, how the decision makes its way to MI-6, the Chruchill and finally into action on the sea. And how doe Turin deal with this — as before he runs until he cannot run anymore. The sequence continues as we see the team taking care of each other — Hugh makes a pillow for Peter, John makes tea for Joan.
I did. They are instructed to burn everything and forget they ever met. This is the Imitation Game — do you believe what you are being told?
Do you believe it is man or machine doing the telling? Am I am machine? Am I a war hero? Am I a criminal? We'll post more screenplays here as more distributors make them available online for free, legal downloads. Skip to main content. No Film School. By Christopher Boone.
December 5, Mathematician Alan Turing cracked German codes during World War II, ending the war two to four years sooner and saving millions of lives. In , the British government convicted him of homosexual acts. The Imitation Game explores the enigma of Turing's life.
