Stewart Menzies:
Why are you telling me this?Alan Turing:We need your help, to keep this a secret from Admiralty, Army, RAF. Uh... as no one can know, that we've broken enigma, not even Dennison.Stewart Menzies:Who's in the process of having you fired?Joan Clarke:You can take care of that.Alan Turing:While we develop a system to help you determine how much intelligence to act on. Which, uh, attacks to stop, which to let through. Statistical analysis, the minimum number of actions it will take, for us to win the war - but the maximum number we can take, before the Germans get suspiciousStewart Menzies:And you're going to trust of this all to statistics? To maths?Alan Turing:Correct.Joan Clarke:And then MI6 can come up with the lies we will tell everyone else.Alan Turing:You'll need a believable alternative source for all the pieces of information that you use.Joan Clarke:A false story, so that we can explain how we got our information, that has nothing to do with Enigma, And then you can leak those stories to the Germans.Alan Turing:And then to our own military.Stewart Menzies:Maintain a conspiracy of lies at the very highest levels of government? Sounds right up my alley

Why are you telling me this
00:00:03.753 --> 00:00:08.093
We need your help to keep this a secret from Admiralty Army RAF
00:00:10.076 --> 00:00:15.561
No one can know we broke Enigma Not even Denniston
00:00:16.599 --> 00:00:18.567
Who's in the process of having you fired
00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:20.044
You can take care of that
00:00:21.001 --> 00:00:23.019
While we develop a system to help you determine
00:00:23.272 --> 00:00:26.276
how much intelligence to act on
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.737
Which attacks to stop which to let through
00:00:29.445 --> 00:00:31.288
Statistical analysis
00:00:31.364 --> 00:00:35.001
The minimal number of actions it would take for us to win the war
00:00:36.285 --> 00:00:40.711
but the maximum number we can take before the Germans get suspicious
00:00:41.457 --> 00:00:44.631
And you're going to trust all this to statistics
00:00:46.128 --> 00:00:47.063
To maths Correct
00:00:47.713 --> 00:00:51.308
And then MI6 can come up with the lies that we tell everybody else
00:00:51.384 --> 00:00:53.557
You'll need a believable alternative source
00:00:53.636 --> 00:00:56.023
for all the pieces of information you use
00:00:56.305 --> 00:00:58.399
A false story so that we can explain
00:00:58.474 --> 00:01:01.398
how we got our information that has nothing to do with Enigma
00:01:01.477 --> 00:01:04.572
And then you can leak those stories to the the Germans
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:06.999
And then to our own military
00:01:12.488 --> 00:01:16.584
Maintain a conspiracy of lies at the highest levels of government
00:01:25.003 --> 00:01:26.001
