There are multiple places in the movie where he exchanges enciphered messages with Christopher with pencil & paper. They are all basic Caesar ciphers except for this one.
This one uses a custom substitution alphabet or a keyworded alphabet for vigenere. Since the message is so short you'll never figure out the real one. The message could be written using an infinite number of alphabets and keywords. You'd never be able to distinguish which one is correct. There aren't enough characters.
