11EXT. BLETCHLEY PARK - AN HOUR LATER

Alan arrives at the imposing front gates of Bletchley Park. An enormous Victorian mansion lies in the center of the grounds, surrounded by empty gardens and tall iron fences.

As Alan approaches, two NAVAL OFFICERS with MACHINE GUNS step out from behind the BARRICADES.
