Over the next decade, Alan Turing wins numerous awards, writes papers, and gives talks. However, he is then convicted for being gay — a crime at the time. The government lets him decide whether he wants to undergo "organo-therapic treatment" (in other words, take "medicine" to mess with his hormones and "reverse" his homosexuality), or go to prison. He drinks their concoction in order to stay at home. Later, he publishes about it.
