The Bletchley Circle

In the second and final instalment, the friends continue their quest for proof that will exonerate Alice and spare her from the gallows. Their investigation uncovers clues that implicate a high‑level military conspiracy, threatening to reshape the case entirely, ultimately.

The piece is the second instalment of a two‑part programme, presented as a single episode. It follows on from the opening segment and brings the story to its conclusion. In this part, a group of friends throw themselves into a frantic search for proof that will exonerate Alice. Their aim is to gather enough evidence to demonstrate her innocence and keep her from being taken to the gallows, where she faces execution. As they dig deeper, the clues they uncover point beyond the immediate case. The information they assemble suggests the involvement of a high‑level military conspiracy, indicating that the forces arrayed against Alice operate far above the local level. The discovery of this shadowy military plot becomes the pivotal element of the narrative. It not only offers a possible route to saving Alice but also hints at a broader, more dangerous web of intrigue that the friends must confront if they hope to secure her freedom.
