111INT. BLETCHLEY PARK - HUT 8 - 1943-5 - SEQUENCE

Alan, Joan, John, Hugh, and Peter decrypt messages together for another two exhausting years.

ALAN TURING (V.O.)

The war dragged on for another two

solitary years.

Alan spends two years pressed shoulder-to-shoulder with the woman whose heart he broke. With the man whose dark secret he uncovered. With the man whose brother he allowed to die.

ALAN TURING (V.O.)

Every day we performed our blood-

soaked calculus. Every day we

decided who lived and who died. And

every day we guided the Allied

armies to victory without anyone

knowing.
