Wigram:
Were you surprised when you heard that Admiral Donitz had changed the weather code? Tom Jericho:
Well, the Germans were always nervous about Enigma. That was the reason Shark came on in the first place... Wigram:
But the Germans believe Enigma's supposed to be infallible, because it would take people a thousand years to figure out the settings for one day, and they are changed every day. But we don't use people for that, do we, Mr. Jericho? Tom Jericho:
No. Wigram:
No. And that is the secret inside the secret: your thinking machines. Day and night, clackety-clack, programmed with a menu provided by your amazing brain, narrowing down the infinite possibilities to just a few million. And if anyone tells the Germans about that... there goes the war

Were you surprised when they told you that Admiral Doenitz
00:00:04.544 --> 00:00:06.587
had changed the German Navy weather code
00:00:06.837 --> 00:00:09.038
Any bells go off
00:00:09.632 --> 00:00:11.549
Germans were always nervous about Enigma
00:00:11.803 --> 00:00:14.721
Well the Germans are supposed to think that Enigma's an unbreakable system
00:00:14.969 --> 00:00:18.058
because it would take thousands of years to go through every setting
00:00:18.306 --> 00:00:21.603
to find the one that turns the code back into the plain text
00:00:21.853 --> 00:00:26.999
Next day it's different again Using human beings Enigma is safe forever
00:00:26.275 --> 00:00:30.947
but we don't use human beings for that
00:00:31.862 --> 00:00:33.404
Do we
00:00:33.656 --> 00:00:36.493
Mr Jericho
00:00:36.745 --> 00:00:39.496
No No
00:00:39.746 --> 00:00:42.248
And that is the secret inside the secret
00:00:42.498 --> 00:00:45.674
All they know thus far is that the weather code opened a crack in the system
00:00:45.926 --> 00:00:50.388
because somebody told them
00:00:51.998 --> 00:00:55.598
But what if somebody tells them just how we do do it
