DARKEST OF DAYS CRACK CODE
Intercepting the first message every morning at 6 A.M., the code-breakers only have eighteen hours each day to crack their code before it changes and they must start from scratch. Every night at midnight, the Germans refresh the settings. They've got their hands on an actual Enigma machine smuggled out of Berlin but they don't know the machine's settings to decode messages.
Alan is welcomed to Enigma alongside five others including Peter Hilton, John Cairncross, Hugh Alexander, Keith Furman and Charles Richards. The Commander says everyone thinks Enigma is unbreakable Alan says to let him try and they'll know for sure. Alan explains that Enigma is the greatest encryption device in history and, if the Allies can crack the code, it will end the war. The Commander calls for Alan to be removed by his secretary, so Alan mentions "Enigma," revealing he knows about the top secret program he's being considered for. He considers German codes to be like puzzles, which he enjoys solving. Alan mentions he doesn't speak German but tells the Commander that he's one of the best mathematicians in the world. He mentions that he's not very political, and the Commander says it may be the shortest job interview ever. The Commander asks why Alan wants to work for the government he replies he doesn't. When the Commander arrives, Alan is cold and seems to lack humour. He waits in the office of Commander Denniston. He arrives at Bletchley Park, guarded by Royal Naval officers. On the train, 27-year-old Alan Turing admires a kid doing crossword puzzles. In a flashback to September 1939 in London, war has been declared with 800,000 children evacuated from their homes. They find him an insufferable person, raising suspicions that he is hiding something. They find him in his home, but he is dismissive towards them. Alan, now known as a professor at Cambridge, is visited by the police inquiring about his burglary. Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) Headquarters intercepts a message that Alan Turing has been robbed at his place. Pay attention." It is 1951, Manchester, England. What happens from this moment forward is not my responsibility. If you cannot commit to this, then please leave the room, but if you choose to stay, remember that you chose to be here. You will listen closely and you will not judge me until I am finished. What I need from you now is a commitment. I am in control, because I know things that you do not know. You think that because you're sitting where you are, and I am sitting where I am, that you are in control of what is about to happen. I will not pause, I will not repeat myself, and you will not interrupt me.
If you're not listening carefully, you will miss things. We hear Alan Turing say, "Are you paying attention? Good. The synopsis below may give away important plot points.
