The Bletchley Circle 1×2

& Susan: If we could just take them one name, not three...
    Millie: We have cross-correlated everything.
    Susan: What if we did a factor analysis?.. Remember when the Germans kept shifting their code sequence? We look a data for incremental changes, we tracked changes to the pattern of pattern itself.
    Millie: Doing a vector analysis on a crime scene is going to take forever, not a day.
    Susan: I know, so we’d better crack on.

& Susan: There must be something, even if it’s small.
    Lucy: No anomalies.
    Susan: Not even in the first one?.. First time you baked a cake, what happened?
    Millie: I don’t bake cakes!
    Lucy: Mine fell.
    Jean: They often do first off.

& Jean: Angela, when I was at Special Operations Executive, there were rumours...
    Angela: Mm-hm. What kind of rumours?
    Jean: A special department within Electra House handling misinformation and deception and the rumor was you worked for them.
    Angela: I’m afraid you’ve got that quite wrong. No, I was general clerical.
    Jean: Weren’t we all, dear?

& Millie: She means be bait. Put on the right clothes, right lipstick, make-up, get on the train, try to catch his eye.
    Jean: No! You’d be putting yourself in his path. You’re bright but that is downright idiotic. You were backroom girls!
    Millie: Jean, we were backroom girls. We never had to make this kind of choice.
    Jean: What kind of choice is that?
    Millie: Whether to put yourself at risk to save someone else, even if you’re not good at it, scared, but you know it’s the right, because it’s the only thing to do. In the War, people did that every day.

& Susan: Scream blue murder and get the guards on him. How do you feel?
    Lucy: Fine. Scared.

& Cavendish: I’m not at liberty to talk about anything relating to that period.
    Susan: You signed the Official Secrets Act. So did I. I was at Bletchley Park.
    Cavendish: Then you should know better.

& Cavendish: 12 girls, you say? How have you got this far?
    Susan: By doing what we did at Bletchley, treating the crimes like a code, applied pattern analysis to all the facts of the case we could gather.

& Malcolm Crowley: I think you’d better come inside, Mrs Gray.
