Mr Powell finished in under 8 minutes. Did he? I'll make sure to congratulate him later this evening. You have a very impressive record with us Mr Baker. Nearly 1000 puzzles and codes broken. You must be very proud? Without your credentials It may not be possible for us to be with world's largest manufacturer of mind games. Well I'm glad we're keeping the good people at La Mosty under pressure. As I recall their revenue took a dive last quarter I've always said I'm more than happy to tackle the design process. We have a separate division for that. Your ability with the puzzles we give you keeps our own people under pressure. The 'Safe Guard' took you under 2 minutes to complete. That's probably the easiest of the lot. I saw right through it. I wouldn't even trust it with my bank code. The kids are gonna love it though. Worked out how to read that thing yet? Its not that I can't read it... its just that I don't want to. The media manipulation element of it? Or the fact that society is going to hell and can't work out the cracks in its own system? Frustration. That every time we hand over a pen to some one. Its the equivalent of handing a child a loaded gun hmmm that is concerning but... Ignorance is bliss. I got sick of watching pop culture crap. And people getting hurt for prize money. I only ever watch CMP for the English narration. Congratulations of the pyramid. Under 8 minutes. I forgot... What was the wager in this? I count 4. I count 5. So... You're nearing a milestone I'm lead to believe? You're nearing a milestone I'm lead to believe? Where brain training leads to sagacity and vision I've seen the commercial. How many more puzzles is that? 4 4 to go. I supposed they're gonna hand you a bit of chiselled plastic glued to a frame. Well done... see you in the next 1000. Its no different than growing up a child prodigy. You keep the trophy... your parents keep the dimes. My parents never told me about the dimes. They were smart. Clearly... you missed out. So how many more puzzles must you complete before you reach this miserable triumph? 100? 2? Actually... I'm not that far behind you 22 if you must know. While you were over in New Delhi. Doing God Knows what I was sitting here still pissing off the administration. I did some catching up. That piece of plastic is going to look fantastic on your mantle piece. Any plans for tonight? I'll catch a cab. See where it takes me. Female voice over. You don't like it? Champagne? Yes. It was expensive. I expect you to drink it. Did you have a good day? Excuse me? Did you have a good day? Yes. Thank you for champagne. You're welcome [ alarm beeps ] [ TV advertisement. ] Would you like me to come over tonight? No! You know our agreement. I understand, I just thought you might like... You know that's not our schedule. Goodbye Thomas. [phone rings] Jesus! Well there he is, about time you answered your phone. I've tried calling you back Eliza I guess the life of a diplomat and being halfway around the world doesn't agree with out schedules I'm sitting out side the Embassy waiting for a ride to the airport I don't know if you've been watching the news? But apparently all air travel is on the verge of shutting down. Due to this insurance [ TV news comes on] Where are you? I'm in Istanbul. Something is going on and everyone is getting edgy I've started smoking again. You just need to get home Eliza, I have to go. Still living by the clock I don't like to break routine. You know that. Don't put the Christmas Tree up until I get there I'm serious. You don't do it right... its never symmetrical. Wait until I get home - Right. OK - I have to go [ Phone rings ] Nice tie. Fuck you Jack! Eugene... too bad on that safe crack try harder next time - Jack, Thomas... good to see you both. You have to give us something both a bit more challenging my friend. I was told to dumb things down for you. After you spent an hour on the 'The Tower... Is that right? I guarantee you. Making the puzzles requires a lot more intelligence than solving them. Isn't that right Thomas? If that's what you like to believe. Believe? How ignorant of you. But... don't worry Thomas I'm saving something special for 1000. I hope so. We have to go Jack. Its good to see you again Eugene. I hope you both can fit your ego through the door. Mr Baker, Mr Powell. Thank you both for coming in. Obviously this is a very unorthodox approach, but I have here your next cypher. You want us to solve this? Yes. You have to be joking. Something wrong Mr Baker? I can't open this without my stopwatch. And I don't like to be distracted. I understand. So this is slightly different. One you complete this puzzle. Your contracts with Colourful & Impossible will be terminated. Sorry what? As you may be fully aware these economic developments are causing our parent company Trevilyan Group to make immediate cuts its happening all across the board 20% of city sale staff are being laid off as an immediate cause of action. An Coulourful & Impossible will be ceasing its operations as of next Monday. This is your last assignment. Inside your envelope you will also find a severance cheque for the time you have given us. I understand. This is your final chapter and your 1000th puzzle. My deepest apologies. That we can't congratulate you accordingly. I thought Colourful & Impossible had the largest share in it's market? We do. But ummmmm. But in several month's time I guarantee no one will be buying a puzzle from a shopping mall. The world is about to go through some turbulent times. If I were you I'd be preparing myself for the downturn. What exactly is so important about this cypeher if you're planning to cease operations? We've been saving this algorithm for a long time. We wanted both of you to go out with a challenge. Something wrong Mr Baker? No. No there isn't. Good luck to both of you. We will convene again in 48 hour's time. And I shall prepare your final documentation. [ Phone rings ] - Mr Dade? - Yep. - The package? - Yeah got it. Don't fail me. You got nothing to worry about Jack Powell Powell? Pow-ell? ♪ [ TV advertisment ] ♪ [On screen News Reporter ] Welcome back. As the economic crisis worsens. All international and domestic flights by the major airlines have now been cancelled in the wake of IBC's collapse as the carriers can not operate without insurance coverage. The move has dealt a heavy blow to the transportation industry asstoke prices continue to tumble maritime shipping has also come to a standstill which has impacted... Shit! [ Knocking on the door ] [ Repeated knocking ] I'm working Jack! I know. I can't do this. - Can't do what? - This! The code its impossible I don't see a pattern. The colours don't equate to anything. And you know how much I hate colour coding I've tried numbers, symbols, letters, I've even tried both abstract and conventional math equations. Nothing! I've never seen this before. And yet it looks like something a 6 year old did with a box of crayons. What do you want from me? The answer! I want the answer. I don't have it yet I mean I assume you break it down into binary digits. And hack to code from that but, but, what purpose? A legal number? Right its potentially a binary code that's been turned into a hexadecimal number and then colour converted but that doesn't exactly translate into an every day family fun puzzle. It looks incomplete as if there's another piece to it. Nope the longest its ever taken me to solve something is 2 hr 25 min I've been staring at this thing for the last 4 hours 13 squares across 24 squares down 312 6 colours. Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, White and Green. Same colours as a Rubix Cube. Old school. First puzzle I ever completed 6 times world champion for people under 21. Yeah I remember. You beat me at the championships when I was 13. I went home and cried for days. Still can't beat Matt Volt's record 6 colours 312 squares on paper. A Rubix Cube has 54 visible squares. Visible? Right tear a Rubix Cube down and you have 27 individual cubes times those squares by 6 and you have 162 squares 2 Rubix Cubes would give you 324 visible squares. That's not right. No, because the middle cube of a Rubix Cube is never visible. Its just the mechanism, it has no colour value. Take 12 away from that and you have 312: The number on the paper 312 squares 6 colours 52 squares for each colour: In theory. What if what doesn't represent anything at all? What do you mean? Well, White's not a colout its a shade. Any colour could be black or white potentially. What if white's a substitute colour? Like in a slot machine? Right! White is a bonus. [ Beeping ] I need you to leave. What? You've been a fantastic help but I need you to go. Hey! I don't think we should make this a competition. I'm not - Yes you are. You expect to crack this before me I don't do partnerships its me and the clock, you know that. Please Thomas, get over your vanity and realise we need to do this together. The world will not collapse if you collaborate for once. This is my 1000th code Jack I can't share it. Any other one maybe, but not this one its too important. Alright I agree with you. But you know I'm going to come back in half an hour's time and knock on your door. When I have the answer I'll be more than happy to give it to you under our usual agreement. Good luck. Luck has nothing to do with it. You know that. Whiskey, please. Something's keeping you up. I say, something's keeping you up I heard you. Thanks Thomas Baker, right? Have we met? I highly doubt it. The name is Marion Deed I work for the Trevilyan Group as a kind of. Mediator Marion... Deed? I know, girl's name... right? Its on my birth certificate, I promise you. You know, John Wayne's real name was Marion. How exactly can I help you Marion? I'm in the process of writing a final report on our beloved Colourful & Impossible I understand you've been working for the company 2 years now as a puzzle tester and cryptographer 2 years in Tokyo and another 2 in Sydney. And during those 4 years have you ever found yourself questioning the design process behind anything you've seen I asked to be on the design team on several occasions however I was always seen as better suited to be part of what I like to call. Quality Control I've read your file. 1000 puzzles. That's errr, that's impressive. I imagine some would have been more challenging than others? How bout we skip the part where I tell you about every puzzle I've ever played with and you get to the point of why we're having this conversation. A man who doesn't like bullshit. I like that. Have you ever seen that before? I don't have my glasses. Here, use mine. I don't know what this is is that right? That's not a code Marion. That's a bunch of coloured squares. You don't see them representing anything? No. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to have room service bring a bottle of scotch to my apartment so I can drink it in peace. You know, ummmm I read some molecular models are represented by colour and they look like codes to me. You're right. What are you doing? Molecules. Oxygen/Red; Nitrogen/Blue. Chlorine, Chlorine/Green; Sulphur/yellow. Phosphorus/Orange and Hydrogen/White. And what does that equal? It equals... I don't really give a fuck! Goodnight Marion. [To himself ] Pick up Eliza [ Phone dailing ] Thomas? Yeah, Where are you? I'm still at the embassy. The airport was unreachable. You couldn't get a private jet? There was nothing available. The airport is completely shut down. - Are you safe? - Its hard to say. Several people tried to leave in a car and they said they'd call when they got to the boarder, but I never heard from them. OK. You just need to hide I know. Thomas, something is going on here and I really don't know what to do I'm really scared. You'll be ok. Everything will calm down [ Disengaged signal on phone ] I solved it. Congratulations Mr Palmer 22 hours. Worst puzzle of my life. You almost had me there on that one. Blatantly obvious however. Sometimes switching your mind off is the best method. Yeah. I have to tell myself that when I approach a girl. When the airport reopens you can go home a very proud man well... I hope so. My brother and my father lost their jobs today I'm just luck I saved as much as I could. As you may understand. The apartment will need to be vacated by the end of the week I'm sorry about the inconvenience. That's alright I'll find a cheap room somewhere. White. Yellow, Green, White, Yellow, Red. NO!!! I assume you have something for me? No! No I don't. I don't. I can't break it. Am I hearing you correctly Mr Baker? You're hearing me just fine I don't know, I couldn't crack it. I need more time with it. You know I can't allow that. Look! I don't expect you to understand but doing this is my life. I can't do anything better than this I need to break that code. You don't have to pay me, just let me work in it. You signed waivers with Colourful and Impossible stating you would not work on any code or algorithm outside of strict working hours. Subsection 54A of the employment contract states that once you cease employment with this company you would not work on any puzzle or code for the next 12 months. By handing me back this piece of paper Mr Baker. You're now officially unemployed by this company. You even look at the code and we will see you in court. You have until the end of the week to vacate your apartment. Do you understand me Mr Baker? Just give me the answer then. - The answer? - Yes! Just give it to me. If you want the answer Mr Baker. You will find it on page 5. Of the last edition of Colourful and Impossible puzzle book. The kids are going to love it. We need to talk. Right now? Right now! I've been told to return home. Yes, I know. Well, this is the end of a great era. Everything changes from here on in I suppose. What's this? You know what that is. The Samurai never did anything shameful or he would avoid falling into the hands of his enemies. You say seppuku. Yes. An honorable way to die. Disemboweling would seem a little extreme I'd hate to get blood on the carpet. I brought no shame to this company. No. Not yet. But in time maybe. Sudo you knew this was coming. What makes you think I want to lay down my life? Its quite simple really [ Mumbles ] [ Japanese ] I would recommend lying on the floor. I guess this is the last time we cross paths. How horrible. So how'd you go? Wasn't easy. Do I dare ask how long it took? 18 hours. Congratulations it took me 22 and surprisingly I didn't need your help. You've done it 1000 puzzles. No, don't bother I couldn't have cracked it without your help. How? The Rubix Cube concept? Yeah. But it had nothing to do with it. You didn't crack it did you? My God, the great Thomas Baker couldn't crack it. What was the answer? Are you serious! Fuck me! This is a new scenario. Alright, I'll pay up. Just tell me Jack! Ah... I don't know I'm accepting defeat here. Pick up Sticks? You'll enjoy it. Is this a joke? I'm not giving you the answer Thomas. Its too easy. This is just a token of our friendship. Alright! I had better continue packing I thought I'd spend a week in Kyoto while the airports sorted out their predicament. You do realise you won't be going anywhere any time soon. Maybe but its all politics at the end of the day. I don't think it can get much worse. Goodbye Thomas. Ah, Mr Powell, please come in. This is trespassing. No no, I'm allowed to be here. Right, well would you like to explain that? Please. My name's Marion Deed I work for the Trevilyan Group as a kind of. Mediator Marion? I know, girl's name right. It's on my birth certificate, I promise you. You know John Wayne's real name was Marion. What can I do for you exactly. Mr Deed? I got a code I want you to take a look at. Ah, I can't do that. You can't or you won't? I signed waivers that stated I wouldn't look at a code for the next 12 months. This one you've seen before. Is this some sort of joke? There's no fun and games here. What exactly would you want to know about this? What's the answer? Something funny? No. It just you're not the first person to ask me that today. Look, if you work for Trevilyan Group you can easily access the answer to this. My manager Mr Sudo can help you if need be I'm afraid I've got some bad news. Mr Sudo was on his way back to Chiba this afternoon unfortunately he never made it to his destination. His body was found a couple of hours ago in the Coulourful and Impossible offices and is temporary accommodation here was found ransacked I don't understand. Colourful & Impossible is a dangerous company beneath the image of ah... family tailored products you will find a much more complex organisation I'm sorry... complex? Well, you're the genius... you work it out. Call me dumb, but is there a reason to this conversation? During Worlld War 2 the British has 9 cryptographers working at Bletchley Park, it was their job to intercept communiques from German High Command, even from Hitler himself its widely believed that the war ended two years earlier and countless lives were saved thanks to thier wits and their abilities to solve complex codes 2 years. A lot can happen in 2 years I'm sorry, they look like fun. May I? See, now this would piss me off I've no idea how you guys do these things for a living. How does your brain not get fried? I suppose it stimulates my brain as opposed to frying it you still haven't answered my question... the point I'm trying to make Mr Powell is that if it wasn't for those nine cryptographers history might have been written very differently. Is this some sort of Enigma Code? Because if it is, it fairly basic. Ahhh... it would depend on how its used I suppose true I'm sorry, I'm still at a loss as to why you're here are you making some kind of threat? No, no, no! Why would I? I'm here simply with the unfortunate news about Mr Sudo. The Trevilyan Group just wants to protect its assets. Then why do you want to know the answer? Well... Ah... I need to know what I'm protecting. Do you have any beer? Ahhh... Sure, in the fridge. I didn't mean to startle you Jack I'm sorry I shouldn't have come across so serious and elusive. How'd you do that? Its rather simple really once you know what you're looking for. Would you errr... mind showing me? Sure. At first you think each colour represents something red, green, yellow... Red. Blue. Blue. Eidetic memory my arse. [ Off-screen News Reporter] A global recession is now being predicted by analysts and economic commentators as the modern dooms day with warnings of over 75 million people across the world's developed nations alone could be forced below the poverty line flow of economic aid to developing nations has ceased as richer countries are struggling to cope with the rising unemployment rates. This is Deborah Trevek you're watching CMP. Are you alright? Do you know what the oldest profession in the world is? A priest? Prostitution No matter how badly the world crumbles people will always be willing to pay for sex. I didn't know that. Did you like being a Call Girl? A slut. There was only one thing you were ever good at spreading your legs. Don't talk to me that way I didn't ask for the life I have. Without me you'd still be on the streets go to the bed. I said: "Get on the fucking bed"! Oh thank Christ Thomas. Are you OK? NO! No Thomas its not good. Christ! Its not good! Ed is on the flood bleeding and I can't find Marcus or Annette. Wait! Hold on! Calm down! Explain the situation. They've broken the walls Thomas. People are losing their minds. [ Mumbling ] You just need to hide Eliza! You just need to hide There's no where to hide! [ Mumbling ] [ Eliza screaming on the phone. ] Don't leave. I don't know what to do. Shit! Thank you. This is a rather unusual situation. Our paths have been crossing for 2 years and this is the first time I've been invited to your apartment. Haven't you packed yet? We're meant t be out by Monday. I have a favour to ask. This'll be good my 1000th puzzle. What's the answer? I don't follow. You designed it didn't you? 312 squared divided into 6 colours. I actually don't know what you're talking about Thomas. I never got to complete any of the latest puzzles I was working on I mean... what was the point? Are you lying to me? How many others are there? Others? Designers! I don't know. Not all of us are based in Tokyo. You're puzzle could have come from anywhere. Are you OK Thomas? You are not your usual prim, proper self I'm fine! Don't worry. You're not afraid of me are you Mr Baker? You have something I want. Do I? You know you do. I want to finish it and you want to make sure the answer is correct. Maybe I'll be at my apartment. Celebration? I don't think you understand the importance of me breaking that code. A THOUSAND!!! A perfect number. Oh I can imagine it was quite significant I've never backed down from a puzzle never! I think the way that the world's heading we need to remember the good things we're good at in life. That is very true. There's a gentleman who went blind in the US. It look him 9 months to solve a Rubix Cube. But he did it by placing stickers and valcro on each of the squares. I call that determination. You see anyone can solve a puzzle it just comes down to how you discover the answer. Sometimes its about altering your perspective rearrangement or even just dumb luck. And... how did you discover your answer? Well it wasn't the usual way I go about things. I have one request before I hand this to you. I want to compare my answer to Jack's. I assume you approached him and knowing Jack I assume he gave it to you. I worked with Jack Powell for 2 years. We always had a wager between us as to who could solve something first. Only ever twice did one of us have an incorrect answer. Puzzle 405 it was for me. It was a letters and numbers code where I accidentally misread an 'L' for a number 1. Puzzle 280 it was for Jack it was a rectangle on paper broken up into 80 pieces it was made up of 2 colours. Red & Green. People who are colour blind can't generally tell the difference between red and green Jack could solve a Rubix Cube because like the blind man he compensated the by using symbols. So I assume what ever answer Jack gave you is actually incorrect. Bastard owes me $500 I'm sorry? Its wrong. Well I... guess it doesn't really matter. I got your copy now. I was watching TV earlier this afternoon. I only watch CMP because its in English. A sudden realisation hit me [ Off-screen News Reporter ] Reports that many short positions in the. IBCE Scandal have now been linked to the Travilyan Group. No signs of foul play have yet come to light with the Travilyan Group dismissing the events as nothing more than a remarkable coincidence. Regulation authorities are dumbfounded as how Travilyan would have foreseen the collapse of IBCE and that there by reluctant to put their actions down to pure speculation given the amount of losses Trevilyan would have had to face if their bets turned out to be wrong. Chargers of insider trading have not yet materialised due to a lack of evidence. Trevilyan Group is the parent company of Colourful & Impossible and telecommunications giant Citicell am I not correct? You are... Yes. The insurance company IBCE miscalculates its risk assessment algorithms forcing it to declare bankruptcy. Yet somehow Trevilyan Group is one of the only organisations to walk away unharmed. Well. Not exactly. Good people like yourself are our of a job. Its risk assessment algorithms and what could possibly disrupt that? A code. A code you manufactured and then feed through your telecommunications branch undetected a pattern unheard of because when you break it down all it looks like is 6 insignificant colours. Do you really think something as simplistic and childish as playing around with wooden toys is going to be responsible for a world wide economic collapse? Well you are sitting across from me Marion or would you prefer me to call you 'John Wayne'? I looked at Travilyan Group's database your name doesn't come up at all. If you're smart Mr Baker. But I didn't come here for the code. I came her simply to see if you could crack it nothing more. You see... I do unofficially work for the Travilyan Group but you won't find my name listed anywhere my job is to protect their interests their interests are with the code anything else is expendable. How do you know what I've written isn't incorrect? What you've just handed me is irrelevant really. The truth is Mr Baker the reason I'm sitting across from you now is because you're too smart for your own good someone like you makes for a very valuable witness on the stand Christ I'm not that smart. Yeah, I'm beginning to realise that. You're also a terrible liar Jack Powell was not colour-blind nothing escapes my attention, I guarantee you. I couldn't break it I need the answer! You didn't think I was dangerous did you? I assumed you were from a rival company posing to be part of Travilyan Group. When I took this job I was actually rather nervous I mean you're clearly smarter than me. I imagined I'd be outwitted and made to look like a fool but you're not very good at seeing the bigger picture you lack... life skills and the ability to sense danger look out the window the world is falling apart do you even care? Do you even notice? This is my life I'm nothing without it. Look at you like some drug addicted teenager. But. You got your answers now Mr baker. You never did mean allowing a lion into your den. You can rest easy knowing you've seen the solution. The code that changes the world I can solve it and here I am cheating. Its not the strongest of the species that survives or the most intelligent its the one most responsive to change Charles Darwin. Well done. Well done I'm ready
