00:01:30THE END
00:01:42Germany broadcasting, Germany broadcasting, people of Britain, greetings from the Third Reich.
00:01:48This is the voice you have learned to fear. This is the voice of terror.
00:01:51Again we bring you disaster, crushing, humiliating disaster. It is folly to stand against the mighty wrath of the Fuhrer. Do you need more testimony of his invincible might to bring you to your knees? Very well. Are you ready? Operative number seven.
00:02:05This is the voice of terror. A secret airplane factory somewhere in England. Listen. The screams of the dying can still be heard. This is the voice of terror.
00:02:17Are you there, people of Britain, shivering in your cellars? Listen, Operative 41. The fuse is lighted. Oil to fuel your navy, to feed your tanks. There it goes up in smoke by the millions of gallons. This is the voice of terror.
00:02:33Do you still believe that there are secrets unknown to the Fuhrer? Listen. Tonight at 7.10 an important diplomat boarded a train at a little station outside Liverpool. Each split second is accounted for.
00:02:46The rails divide. The train hurtles through the air. The diplomat will make no report in London. This is the voice of terror. Englishmen, do you still await your doom in your stupid, stuffy little clubs? It will come, I promise you. Operative 23, the time is now.
00:03:05Operative 23, the time is now. We strike you on the high seas, as well as on the land. This is the voice of terror. Englishmen, the Fuhrer strikes you now as he pleases. Water pours through your greatest dams, smashing everything before it, even as our invincible armies roll toward their objectives.
00:03:26Despite the effective work done by the Intelligence Inner Council, jailing fifth columnists and saboteurs, despite their efficiency in coordinating military strategy based on information of enemy movements, they seem unable to cope with the voice of terror.
00:03:48Already six military catastrophes have occurred. The unmitigated nerve of the press. Now they're attacking us.
00:03:54Blast the fellow to the Kingdom Come. If only we could keep this insidious stuff off the air.
00:03:58I'm not sure that I agree with you. What purpose would that, sir?
00:04:01Well, the people wouldn't have to listen to it. I've been talking to Crosby, the radio technician.
00:04:05If we want him jammed off the air, Crosby can do it. I've been working along other lines.
00:04:11I've asked Mr. Sherlock Holmes to come here. What? Sherlock Holmes?
00:04:16This isn't the case for a private detective. It's a matter of state.
00:04:19In this emergency, we should take advantage of everyone's peculiar gifts.
00:04:22Mr. Holmes is the most subtle and extraordinary private investigator of our time.
00:04:27Are you intimating that the Army and Navy intelligence plus Scott and the IR are not equal to the occasion, Sir Evan?
00:04:32I'm sure they're equal to any occasion.
00:04:34They've done a marvelous job of lining up fifth columnists, saboteurs, and keeping us informed of the enemy's movements.
00:04:39But the voice of terror seems to have them stumped.
00:04:42Sherlock Holmes may have a new approach that will solve the problem.
00:04:45What's happened inside these wars has always been secret.
00:04:48We don't want any outsiders here.
00:04:51I'm positively and irrevocably opposed to calling in Sherlock Holmes.
00:04:56Perhaps you'll change your mind.
00:04:57I see nothing whatever to make me do so.
00:05:00Prentiss is right.
00:05:01For ordinary criminal investigation, Holmes is excellent, but not for this.
00:05:05He's unorthodox and theatrical. I can tell you all about him.
00:05:08Gentlemen, perhaps I can throw some light on the subject myself.
00:05:13Holmes!
00:05:13Holmes, how are you?
00:05:15So good of you to come.
00:05:16Good afternoon, Sir Evan.
00:05:17Your card opened all doors.
00:05:19Oh, blouser!
00:05:22You've put on a little weight since you left school.
00:05:24You don't look any younger yourself, Timples.
00:05:27How are you?
00:05:28Fine.
00:05:29Come in, won't you?
00:05:31You know these gentlemen?
00:05:32I think so.
00:05:33How do you do?
00:05:33I haven't had that pleasure.
00:05:36May I introduce my friend and associate, Dr. Watson?
00:05:38How do you do?
00:05:39How do you do?
00:05:39Uh, I'm afraid I've arrived at an embarrassing moment.
00:05:45Not at all.
00:05:47This gentleman here.
00:05:48Admiral Sir John Prentiss.
00:05:49Admiral Prentiss objects most strongly to my being called in.
00:05:52How could you possibly infer that?
00:05:54From the carpet.
00:05:55Carpet?
00:05:56A man who rises from his chair and digs his heels sternly into the carpet is violently opposed to something.
00:06:02And the Admiral, being quite distressed by the criticisms of the press, would be most apt to resent my intrusion.
00:06:06Well, you've just arrived from Sevenoaks.
00:06:09Yes, of course.
00:06:10Uh, how on earth did you know that?
00:06:13Oh, pardon my mentioning it, but, uh, adhering to your left boot heel is a variety of play known only in Sevenoaks.
00:06:20An amazing piece of deduction.
00:06:22Elementary, my dear Barham.
00:06:24Here's a broadcast of the Voice of Terror.
00:06:25Greetings from the Third Reich.
00:06:35Are you listening, stout fellows across the channel?
00:06:37Are you listening, you little body of incompetent men known as the Inner Council?
00:06:41Today, a new thrill.
00:06:43A new proof of the invincibility of the Fuhrer.
00:06:45Right now, a crack express train laden with British troops and nurses is speeding across England.
00:06:50In just one moment, it will leave the rails forever.
00:06:53Crashing, twisted metal.
00:06:55The cries of the dying.
00:06:55They can't.
00:06:56They wouldn't dare.
00:06:57It's impossible.
00:06:58They couldn't have got on it.
00:06:58The men are laughing, joking.
00:07:00That one in the third car reads a letter from home.
00:07:02It is the last letter he will ever receive.
00:07:04The train is rounding a curve.
00:07:06Its whistle is screaming.
00:07:08Farewell, it is saying.
00:07:10Farewell.
00:07:10You have just heard an exact reproduction of the way it sounds.
00:07:16The way it must actually be.
00:07:19The hearts of the German people plead that innocent men and women have to be killed because your stupid war men...
00:07:25Sure, speaking.
00:07:26Have you any news of the Liverpool Express?
00:07:28But if your blundering war cabinet cannot see that England is already lost, then it is our sacred German duty to prove it to them, over and over and over, until they are on their knees, begging, pleading, groveling for the exquisite mercy of our Fuhrer.
00:07:45Each night, the voice of terror will announce...
00:07:47Shut it off.
00:07:48Stop it.
00:07:49Stop it.
00:07:50Even as you listen and you...
00:07:53I'm sorry.
00:07:55Do what you can, Holmes.
00:07:59This frightful thing has got to be stopped.
00:08:03His son was on that train.
00:08:09How did they find out about the truce?
00:08:11It was an absolute secret.
00:08:12Gentlemen, something must be done about this thing at once.
00:08:16Yes.
00:08:17First of all, then, the voice must not be blocked off the air.
00:08:20But he's a menace.
00:08:21All over the Empire, this horrible news is broadcast.
00:08:24Blown up out of all proportions.
00:08:26The world is beginning to believe it.
00:08:29Even our allies are counting England out.
00:08:31People are frightened, panicky.
00:08:33The British people are not so easily panicked.
00:08:35It's dangerous, I tell you, to let this thing go on.
00:08:36Dangerous, yes, Captain Shaw.
00:08:38But we must continue to listen.
00:08:40What for?
00:08:41So that we can keep on guessing who it is?
00:08:43His identity is not important.
00:08:44The important thing is the purpose behind this campaign of terror.
00:08:50Purpose, indeed.
00:08:51Isn't it enough that our most secret plans are known?
00:08:54Our ships are being destroyed, our trains wrecked?
00:08:57I'm convinced that these disasters are only a prelude.
00:09:01A smokescreen to cover up a more diabolic plan.
00:09:05And I intend to find out what that plan is.
00:09:07This council and Scotland Yard will give you all the aid you require.
00:09:12Gentlemen, my connection with this case must remain absolutely secret.
00:09:15You understand that, of course?
00:09:16Why, certainly.
00:09:17You will let the council know at all times just what you are doing.
00:09:22I shall give you such information as I think wise to disclose
00:09:25in the interests of safety, both the public's and your own.
00:09:28The inner council has never shared its secrets with anyone.
00:09:30I demand that you keep us informed of your activities and progress.
00:09:35Come on, Watson.
00:09:41Mr. Holmes.
00:09:43I want to apologise for your rather lukewarm reception here.
00:09:46Thank you, Sir Evan.
00:09:47I'm used to the chilly atmosphere of high places.
00:09:50And, of course, you recognise the importance of time.
00:09:52Quite.
00:09:53And results.
00:09:54Mr. Lloyd, I'm quite sure that Mr. Holmes can be trusted not to fail.
00:09:58He never has, you know.
00:09:59Thank you, Watson.
00:10:00The word is stolen.
00:10:01Goodbye, Sir Evan.
00:10:02Goodbye, sir.
00:10:03Goodbye, Byram.
00:10:04Goodbye, Watson.
00:10:06Holmes, shall we walk for a bit or take a taxi?
00:10:08I'm afraid we have no choice.
00:10:09Huh?
00:10:10No, Watson.
00:10:12I have a feeling that when we go out of that door, a girl will be waiting.
00:10:15A girl?
00:10:16What do you mean?
00:10:17A young lady, whom neither of us has ever seen before, will come forward to greet us.
00:10:20Holmes, now you're pulling my leg here.
00:10:22Mr. Holmes, I'm Joe Grandis.
00:10:29How do you do?
00:10:30This is my friend, Dr. Watson.
00:10:31How do you do?
00:10:31How do you do?
00:10:32I've been assigned to drive you around.
00:10:34Good gracious me.
00:10:35Where do you wish to go?
00:10:36Baker Street.
00:10:36I know, 221B.
00:10:38Come on, Watson.
00:10:40Hurry up, old fellow.
00:10:50Holmes, the girl waiting.
00:10:52What an extraordinary thing.
00:10:54Elementary, my dear Watson.
00:10:56No, no, no.
00:10:56It's an amazing deduction.
00:10:58How on earth did you arrive at it?
00:11:00Barton told me.
00:11:01What?
00:11:02Oh.
00:11:02Oh, don't you worry, Mrs. Hudson.
00:11:22Just giving her a bit of a clean, now we're on a case again.
00:11:25The joint's a bit rusty, like mine, you know.
00:11:29Is he back in a case again?
00:11:31Case?
00:11:32The greatest case of his, of our career.
00:11:34Oh, merci, it always is.
00:11:53Holmes.
00:11:55Mr. Holmes.
00:11:56What?
00:11:56What's right?
00:11:58Well, if you ask me, it's disgraceful.
00:12:00That opens first.
00:12:01Not at all.
00:12:03It's very good.
00:12:04Sir Ronald Hedley's conducting very well tonight.
00:12:06I don't mean the concert.
00:12:08No?
00:12:09England's in danger.
00:12:10Heaven knows what frightful disaster's happening.
00:12:12You sit there calmly, listening to the wireless.
00:12:15Music hath charms.
00:12:17Very restful.
00:12:17That's got nothing to do with the whole...
00:12:18Country, my dear Watson.
00:12:19It may have a great deal to do with it.
00:12:21Oh, really?
00:12:22I don't see what?
00:12:23BBC Request Station.
00:12:33This is Sherlock Holmes.
00:12:35I understand you play recordings.
00:12:36Would you mind playing Beethoven's Fifth, conducted by Sir Ronald Hedley?
00:12:40Thank you very much.
00:12:42But you just heard it.
00:12:43I like it.
00:12:43We've had a request for the Beethoven Fifth Symphony, played by the London Symphony Orchestra,
00:12:56under the direction of Sir Ronald Hedley.
00:12:59This is a transcription.
00:13:00This is a transcription.
00:13:30Mr. Holmes, what's the well about?
00:13:41Mr. Holmes, I don't...
00:13:42Shh!
00:14:00Mr. Holmes.
00:14:08Yes, Gavin?
00:14:09I...
00:14:09I...
00:14:10Christopher...
00:14:11Dead?
00:14:18Yes.
00:14:22It's been driven in with a lot of force.
00:14:25Watson,
00:14:25this is a warning.
00:14:30Warning?
00:14:31How do you know?
00:14:33I had sent for Gavin to get certain information, which you must have found, there in the dark
00:14:38and sinister alleys of Limehouse.
00:14:41He came with his message, which someone doesn't want me to hear, someone determined and dangerous.
00:14:46But what's the good of a warning of danger, when you know from what or from whom?
00:14:50We shall have to discover.
00:14:51This knife was thrown by the tip, from a distance of about fifty feet by a man about five foot ten.
00:14:57Oh, steady, Holmes.
00:14:58Elementary.
00:14:59No fingerprints.
00:15:00But the distance and the man's height.
00:15:02The angle of entry and the force with which he penetrated the victim.
00:15:06But, Holmes, what do you suppose he meant when he said Christopher?
00:15:09We must find out at once.
00:15:10Come on, Watson.
00:15:11What?
00:15:15Come in.
00:15:16Oh, Mr. Holmes, I saw a fellow lurking about your steps and I...
00:15:20Blimey, he won't lurk no more.
00:15:22From the yard.
00:15:23Take care of it, Dobson.
00:15:24Very good, sir.
00:15:25How do you do that?
00:15:26Have some time now.
00:15:27Get your coat on, Watson.
00:15:28We're going out.
00:15:29No, no, no, no.
00:15:30Holmes, you promised.
00:15:32Oh.
00:15:33Where are we going?
00:15:34Limehouse.
00:15:35Uh, where are we going?
00:15:36Limehouse.
00:15:37Come on.
00:15:38Come on.
00:15:39Here you go.
00:15:40Come on.
00:15:41Come on.
00:15:42Come on.
00:15:43Come on.
00:16:05It was certainly wise.
00:16:06It was certainly wise if you let Miss Grandes go.
00:16:08This is no special girl or anyone else.
00:16:10There seem to be people about.
00:16:24Even Miss Grandis.
00:16:26If I'm not mistaken, she's keeping an eye on us.
00:16:29You're Mr. Sherlock Holmes, ain't ya?
00:16:32Yes.
00:16:33I wouldn't come down here if I was you.
00:16:35This is Limehouse, and we don't fancy your sort of bloke in these parts.
00:16:40The fellow's absolutely right. Hadn't we better be...
00:16:42Bart Watson.
00:16:43This is still a free country.
00:16:45A man may walk who he pleases.
00:16:47And live to regret it.
00:16:48Live, yes. Regret it, I think not.
00:16:51Step back.
00:16:53Come on, Watson.
00:16:57Unfriendly, what?
00:16:58The speaker break.
00:17:05What was that, Holmes?
00:17:07It's all right quiet.
00:17:08I can't see a thing.
00:17:09Luckily for us, neither can they.
00:17:11Apparently the enemy has found out that we joined forces with the government.
00:17:15What makes you think that?
00:17:17This knife, like the knife which killed Gavin, was thrown by a former obituary of the Box of Hamburg.
00:17:24It's a German knife.
00:17:25It's a German knife.
00:17:26It's a German knife.
00:17:27I can't see a thing.
00:17:28Luckily for us, neither can they.
00:17:29I can't see a thing.
00:17:30Luckily for us, neither can they.
00:17:31Apparently the enemy has found out that we joined forces with the government.
00:17:36What makes you think that?
00:17:40This knife, like the knife which killed Gavin, was thrown by a former obituary of the Box of Hamburg.
00:17:45It's a German knife.
00:17:46The knife throwers of Hamburg are extremely expert.
00:17:49Mr. Holmes, can't we come back in the daytime?
00:17:51Certainly not.
00:17:52I don't think we're safe.
00:17:53No one in the world is safe now, Watson.
00:17:55Least of all us.
00:18:06What is it, Colonel Brady?
00:18:26Don't tell me that you don't recognize me.
00:18:29Mr. Sherlock Holmes!
00:18:31I've got a specially ugly lot here tonight.
00:18:33I don't think my chances.
00:18:35I can't keep you up, Mr. Holmes, but...
00:19:02Where's the girl Kitty, Gavin's sweetheart?
00:19:04His wife.
00:19:05Can you get her?
00:19:06It's urgent.
00:19:07Try.
00:19:08Holmes.
00:19:09I don't think I like this place much.
00:19:11Oh, just sit here if you don't mind.
00:19:12I think you'll recognize me, Mr. Holmes, if you look hard enough.
00:19:14Camberwell.
00:19:15Camberwell.
00:19:16You've got a long memory.
00:19:17Like me.
00:19:18Tarleton murder, 1932.
00:19:19Tarleton murder, 1932.
00:19:20Of course, I sent you up.
00:19:21Mr. Holmes.
00:19:22Don't you think we've got a long memory?
00:19:23You've got a long memory.
00:19:24Like me.
00:19:25Tarleton murder, 1932.
00:19:26Of course, I sent you up.
00:19:27Mr. Holmes.
00:19:28Don't you think we'd better be...
00:19:29Stoy your gab.
00:19:30For ten long years, I've been sitting down there in Dartmoor.
00:19:32I've been sitting down there in Dartmoor.
00:19:33Well, just sit here if you don't mind.
00:19:36I think you'll recognize me, Mr. Holmes, if you look hard enough.
00:19:39If you look hard enough.
00:19:40Camberwell.
00:19:41You've got a long memory.
00:19:43Like me.
00:19:44Tarleton murder, 1932.
00:19:46Of course, I sent you up.
00:19:48Mr. Holmes.
00:19:49Don't you think we'd better be...
00:19:50Stoy your gab.
00:19:52For ten long years, I've been sitting down there in Dartmoor.
00:19:56For the old ten years, one thing's been preying on me mind.
00:19:59Only one?
00:20:00Just one.
00:20:01Someday I'll be getting out of here, I kept saying to myself.
00:20:04And when I do, someday I'm gonna come face to face with Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:20:08Now you are.
00:20:09And now I am.
00:20:11Just who was it told you it was me who slipped the throat of that swine Tarleton?
00:20:16I won an answer.
00:20:18You told me.
00:20:22Me?
00:20:23On the windowsill, you left four infinitesimal pieces of ash
00:20:26from a particularly revolting kind of tobacco that you were known to use.
00:20:30The knife blade was sharpened by a left-handed man.
00:20:32You signed your name to the crime.
00:20:34So that's what?
00:20:36Exactly.
00:20:38Very careless.
00:20:39Careless.
00:20:40It's criminal, I calls it.
00:20:42I ought to be shot.
00:20:44Perhaps someday you will be.
00:20:46You can put your revolver away now, Watson.
00:20:48Hmm.
00:20:49Well, Holmes, you never know.
00:20:52Go.
00:20:53Where's Gavin?
00:20:54Sit down, Kitty.
00:20:55Where is he?
00:20:56You've got him into trouble.
00:20:57What have you done to him?
00:20:58Take it easy, Kitty.
00:20:59Gavin's dead.
00:21:00Dead?
00:21:01Oh, it ain't possible.
00:21:02Well, I was with him only two hours ago.
00:21:03You're trying to frighten me.
00:21:04No, I'm not, Kitty.
00:21:05It's you.
00:21:06It's you.
00:21:07You killed him.
00:21:08I warned him to stay away from me.
00:21:09You're trying to frighten me.
00:21:10No, I'm not, Kitty.
00:21:11It's you.
00:21:12You killed him.
00:21:13I warned him to stay away from me.
00:21:14No, I'm not, Kitty.
00:21:15It's you.
00:21:16You killed him.
00:21:17I warned him to stay away from you.
00:21:18I knew you'd do him in.
00:21:19I had nothing to do with it, Kitty.
00:21:20Well, who did, then?
00:21:21Who did?
00:21:22He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:23He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:24He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:25He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:26He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:28He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:30I'm sorry.
00:21:31I'm deeply in his debt.
00:21:32I'm sorry.
00:21:33I'm deeply in his debt.
00:21:34It's you.
00:21:35It's you.
00:21:36You killed him.
00:21:37I warned him to stay away from you.
00:21:38I knew you'd do him in.
00:21:39I had nothing to do with it, Kitty.
00:21:40Well, who did, then?
00:21:41Who did?
00:21:42He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:44I'm sorry.
00:21:57I'm deeply in his debt.
00:21:59Before he died, he said one word.
00:22:03Christopher.
00:22:06You know what it means?
00:22:12I've got to know.
00:22:14What's that to mean?
00:22:16You want to avenge Gavin's death, don't you?
00:22:18I don't want nothing to do with it.
00:22:20Nor with you.
00:22:21I never had any dealings with the police.
00:22:23And I won't start now.
00:22:24I'm not asking this for myself.
00:22:26Our country, England, is at stake.
00:22:34Gavin was killed not by his own enemies, nor even mine,
00:22:37but by the enemies of England.
00:22:39Oh, so that's it.
00:22:41Yes, Kitty.
00:22:42The Nazis killed him.
00:22:44Help me to find out what Christopher means.
00:22:47And I promise the man who murdered Gavin shall pay for it.
00:22:50Think, Kitty.
00:22:53The cutthroats of the world menace us all.
00:22:57You can help stop this savagery.
00:22:59Yes, you, Kitty.
00:23:01If we take the police weeks, months perhaps,
00:23:04to find out a certain piece of information we must have.
00:23:06That's not so with you and your friends.
00:23:08You know every nook and corner of London.
00:23:12Get them to help us.
00:23:14We need their help.
00:23:16Your friends will become an army.
00:23:18Do you understand?
00:23:19Secret, invisible and mighty.
00:23:22And you will be at their head, Kitty.
00:23:24You will be their leader.
00:23:38Grimes, do you know what Christopher means?
00:23:49Dugan.
00:23:50Do you know?
00:23:52Dugan, listen to me.
00:23:54I ain't got no time to listen to you, girlie.
00:23:56But you gotta listen.
00:23:58Someone killed Gavin.
00:23:59I don't know who, but you gotta help me find out.
00:24:06All right, don't help me then.
00:24:07Cut your own throats.
00:24:08That's what you're doing.
00:24:09Help me or help the Nazis.
00:24:12Sure.
00:24:13The Nazis killed Gavin.
00:24:15They might be your friends protecting them the way you are.
00:24:18Don't you know that all the crimes they commit are being blamed on you?
00:24:21Well, they are.
00:24:22And I hope you hang for them.
00:24:24You can have them.
00:24:25For me, I'm British and I'm proud of it.
00:24:28Nobody's gonna call me a Nazi and get away with it.
00:24:30Well, help me then.
00:24:31Tell me what Christopher means.
00:24:33You've never heard of it.
00:24:34Well, don't anybody, you know.
00:24:36It's gotta mean something.
00:24:42Well, speak up if you know what it is.
00:24:43Let's have it.
00:24:44Don't mean a thing to me.
00:24:46You've been a creep in the corners all your life.
00:24:48Are you gonna sneak away at the very sight of a man like this
00:24:51and show them how coward you are?
00:24:53What are you afraid of?
00:24:55I'm not asking this for myself.
00:24:57England's at stake.
00:24:59You're England as much as anyone else is.
00:25:01I've got no time to think about whose side we're on.
00:25:04There's only one side, England.
00:25:06No matter how high or how low we are.
00:25:09You.
00:25:10You.
00:25:11You.
00:25:12You and you.
00:25:13We're all on the same team.
00:25:14We've all got the same goal.
00:25:15Victory!
00:25:16What are you watching now?
00:25:17Right out all over London.
00:25:19But find out what Christopher means.
00:25:21We'll find out.
00:25:22No fear about that.
00:25:24Thank you, Petey.
00:25:26Well done, my dear.
00:25:31Shaw speaking.
00:25:36Yes, Miss Grandis.
00:25:38That checks with my report.
00:25:41No, Miss Grandis.
00:25:43Sir Evans hasn't arrived yet.
00:25:45Yes, thank you.
00:25:47Miss Grandis reports that Holmes spent some time with the Air Ministry today.
00:25:51That checks with my information.
00:25:53Last night a murder and a session in Limehouse.
00:25:56I wonder what the fellow... He's here now.
00:25:59I don't think I need to report on my activities, gentlemen.
00:26:02You must be fairly well informed.
00:26:03We have our methods, Holmes.
00:26:04It only remains to you to show what's been accomplished.
00:26:06All in good time, Mr. Lloyd.
00:26:08Good evening, gentlemen.
00:26:10Good evening, Sir Everton.
00:26:12What's the matter? You look pale.
00:26:13Oh, it's nothing. I...
00:26:15Pardon, your hand. Let's have a look at it.
00:26:17Oh, it's really nothing. Just an accident.
00:26:19What sort of an accident?
00:26:20Some fellow took a shot at me just as I was leaving the house.
00:26:23Took a shot at you?
00:26:24It's only a scratch.
00:26:25Ugly thing to happen.
00:26:27Have you any idea who it was?
00:26:29No, I haven't.
00:26:30He popped up out of the bushes just as I was getting into my car.
00:26:33Fired once, then disappeared.
00:26:35What do you make of it, Watson?
00:26:37Bullet wound.
00:26:38Congratulations.
00:26:39This is a matter for the police.
00:26:41Oh, no, no, please.
00:26:42I can never identify him. Let's forget it.
00:26:44Captain Shaw.
00:26:50People of Britain, greetings.
00:26:54Is it shock you need?
00:26:56Very well.
00:26:57We Nazis can produce them
00:26:59till Britain's proud head is in the dust where it belongs.
00:27:02People of London, look out of your windows.
00:27:05You will see your promised disaster written across the skies.
00:27:09Lawford, turn out the lights, please.
00:27:12Look to the East India docks.
00:27:14Are you alert, number 20?
00:27:16Look, Britain, look and wonder and despair.
00:27:20We Nazis keep our promises.
00:27:24There's a terrible fire in the East End.
00:27:26Concentration of men and supplies.
00:27:28American bombers, tanks.
00:27:30Gone.
00:27:31Destroyed utterly.
00:27:33The flames are mounting higher and higher and higher.
00:27:36Now the glare must be visible even to the short-sighted leaders of your bewildered government.
00:27:43Mark well the towering fires.
00:27:45They consume your new planes from America.
00:27:48Your meager store of tanks.
00:27:50Your puny munitions.
00:27:52And your food.
00:27:54Planes that were your only defense against our all-powerful Luftwaffe.
00:27:58Tanks and munitions that you prayed would hold
00:28:01against the magnificent 50-ton German land monsters
00:28:04which will soon be crashing through your very houses.
00:28:07Food.
00:28:08Turn it off.
00:28:10You can...
00:28:32Gentlemen, this is really a terrible setback.
00:28:35How do they find out our secrets?
00:28:37It's horrible the way it's timed, the precision of it.
00:28:39It's not so precise.
00:28:41Almost precise.
00:28:42What do you mean?
00:28:43I should call it exact.
00:28:44No.
00:28:45The fires actually broke out sometime before the voice called to his operative in London.
00:28:50Joe, that's true.
00:28:51And last time, the train disaster.
00:28:53Captain Shaw was on the telephone immediately.
00:28:55And Scotland Yard knew all about it.
00:28:57The derailment must have occurred at least ten minutes earlier.
00:29:01That's certainly possible.
00:29:02Even so, what of it?
00:29:04No mystery. Nothing supernatural.
00:29:05Just split-second planning, that's all.
00:29:07Days, perhaps weeks in advance.
00:29:09Very well figured out, Holmes.
00:29:10It gets us a step forward.
00:29:12Now, gentlemen.
00:29:13Let's take a step even further.
00:29:15I have charted here the tonal differences between actual and transcribed broadcasts.
00:29:20Using this test, I'm convinced that the voice of terror
00:29:23is undoubtedly recorded and played from a record.
00:29:26What does that prove?
00:29:27It proves that the voice of terror, the man himself, is not in Germany.
00:29:31He's here, in England.
00:29:32Oh, it's impossible.
00:29:33What are you telling us, Holmes?
00:29:34It can't be.
00:29:35Our technicians insist the broadcast originate in Zeisberg.
00:29:39And so they do, from recordings flown to Zeisberg.
00:29:41It's impossible, Holmes.
00:29:42You can't expect anyone to believe that.
00:29:44It can't be done.
00:29:47Thanks to the Royal Air Force, I have some rather curious information.
00:29:50At irregular intervals, six Nazi bombing planes come over
00:29:53and drop their deadly cargoes on non-military objectives.
00:29:56A meadow or a sheepfold.
00:29:57That's nonsense.
00:29:58The Nazis aren't fools.
00:29:59They don't waste ammunition.
00:30:00Of course not.
00:30:01Then what's the purpose?
00:30:02To divert attention from the fact
00:30:03that a single plane breaks formation each time and disappears.
00:30:06But why?
00:30:08Gentlemen, that lone plane picks up plans, maps, secret military information,
00:30:13and the voice of terror's timed and recorded speech
00:30:16and flies them to Germany.
00:30:17I can hardly believe it.
00:30:18Sensational, if true.
00:30:19It's incredible.
00:30:20Fantastic.
00:30:23Mr. Holmes.
00:30:24Yes?
00:30:25There's a person outside asking...
00:30:27A lady?
00:30:28Um...
00:30:29Ask her to come in.
00:30:30Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:30:42Gentlemen, I must leave at once.
00:30:43Where are you going?
00:30:44That must remain a secret, even from this council.
00:30:47I object to this, Mr. Holmes.
00:30:49You're here against my wishes.
00:30:50Since you are here, I demand to know what's being done.
00:30:52As I've already told you, Mr. Lloyd,
00:30:53I shall report to this council at the proper time.
00:30:55And so, gentlemen, until we meet again,
00:30:57as I hope we will,
00:30:59take no unnecessary risks.
00:31:01We're all in grave danger.
00:31:02Come along, Watson.
00:31:03Coming.
00:31:14Stay.
00:31:15Huh.
00:31:44Holmes, I think we're being followed.
00:31:53Yes, I know.
00:31:54It's Lloyd.
00:31:55Lloyd?
00:31:55How do you know?
00:31:56He's so obvious about it.
00:32:02Good evening, Mr. Lloyd.
00:32:05We're going our way.
00:32:07I intend to find out what you're doing, even to the point of following me.
00:32:11This is our business, you know, as well as yours.
00:32:13All right.
00:32:14Come along.
00:32:21This little place.
00:32:24Seems deserted.
00:32:25It's been deserted for years.
00:32:31Not very securely locked.
00:32:33Fortunate, isn't it?
00:32:34All right.
00:32:35It's all right.
00:32:36What?
00:32:38It's the river.
00:32:40This is part of the old Christopher docks.
00:32:42Never heard of them.
00:32:44Christopher.
00:32:46I said Holmes, isn't that the word that Gavin...
00:32:48Bart Watson.
00:32:50Oh, sorry?
00:32:52They're almost forgotten.
00:32:54They were built before Victoria.
00:32:56Oh, well, I'm sorry.
00:32:58I'm sorry.
00:33:00They were almost forgotten.
00:33:02They were built before Victoria.
00:33:04They were built before Victoria.
00:33:34They were built before Victoria.
00:33:36She's always told me.
00:33:38I've got to the bread shop,
00:33:39though.
00:33:40They're the bread shop.
00:33:41I'm sorry to sell it.
00:33:42They're all productive.
00:33:44Oh, oh!
00:33:46Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:33:48Oh, oh, oh!
00:33:50Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:33:52Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:33:54Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:33:56Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:33:59Oh, oh, oh, oh?
00:34:01Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:34:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:34:04Good evening, gentlemen.
00:34:26I knew your curiosity would be your undoing, Mr. Holmes.
00:34:31You were expecting me then?
00:34:33Yes.
00:34:34I had hoped that the entire council might have come.
00:34:37It would have been a pleasure to deal with all of them,
00:34:40quietly and effectively.
00:34:42Eventually, they all will be taken care of.
00:34:45However, Mr. Lloyd is quite a catch
00:34:47and will have to suffice for the moment.
00:34:50What do you intend to do with us?
00:34:57Were it not that time is so pressing,
00:34:59we might first put you on trial.
00:35:02On trial for what?
00:35:03Crimes against the Third Reich.
00:35:05Misguided efforts to wreck our inevitable victory.
00:35:09Mr. Lloyd,
00:35:11your super-British patriotism,
00:35:13your blundering but sometimes effective intelligence efforts
00:35:17are well known.
00:35:18We have quite a score against you,
00:35:21which will be settled.
00:35:22Dr. Watson, a fair physician, no doubt, but of no consequence.
00:35:30To our stupid British minds, every life is of consequence.
00:35:34A quaint notion of an even quainter nation.
00:35:37We are not like that.
00:35:39We know that only the powerful are worthy of respect.
00:35:43Let our record speak for us.
00:35:47Your record speaks.
00:35:49It's brilliant.
00:35:51A brilliant record of rapacity,
00:35:53cruelty, torture, deceit, and murder.
00:35:56Murder?
00:35:56Gesundheit.
00:36:07Gesundheit.
00:36:13Cold?
00:36:13It is a little chilly in here.
00:36:15I'm sorry, you're uncomfortable.
00:36:17My discomfort is of no consequence.
00:36:20Your false courage is not impressive, Mr. Holmes.
00:36:23Of course you realize that you and your friends are going to die.
00:36:27As all men must, sooner or later.
00:36:29Not later.
00:36:31Now.
00:36:34Hoo!
00:36:45Good work, boys.
00:37:09If you pleasure, sir.
00:37:10All right, then.
00:37:11Line them up against the wall.
00:37:12Come on.
00:37:12Thank you, James.
00:37:15Come on, get back.
00:37:42He got away.
00:37:42Most unfortunate.
00:37:46I blame myself severely.
00:37:47I should think you might, Holmes.
00:37:48If you hadn't been so stupidly mysterious,
00:37:50allowed Scotland Yard to give you adequate protection,
00:37:52the man would never have escaped.
00:37:53No, he never would.
00:37:54Most regrettable.
00:37:56But...
00:37:56Gesundheit.
00:37:57Anything that was posed...
00:37:59?
00:38:03Fallout 9?
00:38:06?
00:38:07?
00:38:07?
00:38:09?
00:38:09?
00:38:10?
00:38:10?
00:38:19?
00:38:19?
00:38:20?
00:38:21?
00:38:22?
00:38:22?
00:38:22?
00:38:22?
00:38:23Keep quiet.
00:38:32Take the hands off.
00:38:33You fool.
00:38:34You want to bring the whole force in here?
00:38:53Come on.
00:39:23So that was it, eh?
00:39:39Quite a hall.
00:39:41It's mine.
00:39:53Go ahead, your friends.
00:40:04The police are undoubtedly still out there.
00:40:18There isn't a better hideout in all London.
00:40:23I'm sorry.
00:40:44This will quiet your nerves.
00:40:53Well, the tea's got cold again.
00:40:56Have you been playing anything all the afternoon?
00:40:59Fiddling while Rome burns.
00:41:03Well, what's this?
00:41:06General Jay Lawford, Casey.
00:41:09I'm sorry.
00:41:10I'm sorry.
00:41:11I'm sorry.
00:41:12I'm sorry.
00:41:13I'm sorry.
00:41:14I'm sorry.
00:41:15I'm sorry.
00:41:16I'm sorry.
00:41:17I'm sorry.
00:41:18I'm sorry.
00:41:19I'm sorry.
00:41:20I'm sorry.
00:41:21I'm sorry.
00:41:22General Jay Lawford, KCB DSO, and Captain Roland Shaw MC,
00:41:25who today narrowly escaped being struck by a falling wall in a bombed area.
00:41:31Lawford and Shaw by a falling...
00:41:33Holmes.
00:41:35You don't think that...
00:41:37It was not an accident.
00:41:39Good heavens.
00:41:40Holmes.
00:41:42That sinister-looking fellow, what's his name?
00:41:44Meade.
00:41:45If only he hadn't got away.
00:41:46Yes.
00:41:47Difficult as it was, I managed to let him escape.
00:41:49You let him escape?
00:41:50Great Scott man.
00:41:51He was about to kill us.
00:41:53He may even get.
00:41:54I don't understand you, Holmes.
00:41:56It's my theory that this chap, Meade, is the arch criminal.
00:41:59That he's behind the whole thing.
00:42:01You're absolutely right, Watson.
00:42:02Except for one thing.
00:42:03Well, then I'm wrong.
00:42:05Have you observed that a highly secret military plan is thwarted by each of these disasters?
00:42:09Yes, I have.
00:42:10Now that you mention it.
00:42:12Watson, there's a leak.
00:42:14A leak?
00:42:15You mean in the council?
00:42:17But Holmes, that's impossible.
00:42:20Anything is possible until proved otherwise.
00:42:22You'll see who are in the council.
00:42:24Lawford and Shaw.
00:42:25They're about suspicion.
00:42:26Their record proves that.
00:42:28Anyhow, they were attacked.
00:42:30Unsuccessfully.
00:42:31Prentiss?
00:42:32Would he kill his own son?
00:42:34Doesn't seem likely.
00:42:35And yet the boy is dead.
00:42:37Byram, of course, brought you into the case.
00:42:39So it's quite obvious that he wants it solved.
00:42:42Most patriotic of so often, Barham.
00:42:44He's a great fellow.
00:42:45Paid wing three-quarter for the school my last term so I can vouch for him.
00:42:49Besides, he was attacked too.
00:42:51Shot at.
00:42:52So I gather.
00:42:54How about Lloyd?
00:42:56Well, it can't be him.
00:42:58Meade was going to kill him as well as us.
00:43:00By the way, he's a brave fellow, Lloyd.
00:43:02Did you notice that he didn't turn a hair?
00:43:04Very composed.
00:43:06Come in.
00:43:08Mr. Holmes?
00:43:10Yes, Kitty?
00:43:11I think now we'll be able to get some information from Mr. Meade.
00:43:14Your plan worked like a charm.
00:43:15I knew you could do it.
00:43:16Oh, it's not so hard once your mind's made up.
00:43:19And mine is.
00:43:20You'll be careful.
00:43:21She better be.
00:43:22She's mixed up with that fellow.
00:43:23I'll be careful, all right.
00:43:25I'm going through with this.
00:43:26Good girl.
00:43:27I heard him talking on the phone today.
00:43:29Yes?
00:43:30He said, I'll take care of that little Seven Oaks matter at 11 tonight.
00:43:34Seven Oaks?
00:43:35Isn't that where Barham has a country place?
00:43:37Watson, there's not a moment to lose.
00:43:43If I find out that Meade did kill Gavin, I'll...
00:43:45If so, he'll be punished.
00:43:46I warned you, no one was safe with that fellow at large.
00:43:49Now he's off to Barham.
00:43:50Yes, I only hope we're in time.
00:43:52Come along, Kitty.
00:43:54I'll get you a taxi.
00:43:55Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:43:56You think you ought to go out alone, sir?
00:44:09Worrying about that escaped German agent, huh?
00:44:12He threatens to kill the entire council, sir.
00:44:14Come, Smeston.
00:44:15Took bigger chances than this in the trenches.
00:44:17Have you forgotten?
00:44:18I know, sir.
00:44:19But we were younger then.
00:44:20And the Veroch's thing is now, sir.
00:44:22I'm ready for him.
00:44:23I understand, sir.
00:44:24I'm ready for him.
00:44:25I understand, sir.
00:44:26I understand, sir.
00:44:49You've driven to Evan down here before, of course, Miss Grandis.
00:44:51Quite often.
00:44:52He comes down whenever he can.
00:44:53He's a local air raid warden, you know.
00:44:55He likes to get away from the excitement occasion, eh?
00:44:57Yes.
00:44:58It's so very quiet here.
00:45:01Quiet and remote.
00:45:03Away from everyone.
00:45:15Yes?
00:45:16Oh, Miss Jill.
00:45:17It's all right, Smeston.
00:45:18Where is Sir Evan?
00:45:19On his rounds, miss.
00:45:20Which way?
00:45:21Down that lane of trees, sir.
00:45:22I'll go.
00:45:23You stay here.
00:45:24Hello there, Barham.
00:45:25Holmes.
00:45:26What on earth are you doing out here?
00:45:27I, uh...
00:45:28I've been worried about you.
00:45:29Yes?
00:45:30That fellow Meade appears to be in the neighborhood.
00:45:31Do you mind if I go along with you?
00:45:32I'd feel better about it.
00:45:33Not at all.
00:45:34I'd appreciate the company.
00:45:35You know, it gets quite lonesome, especially on a night like this.
00:45:37By the way.
00:45:38Do you feel you're getting any nearer solution of this terrible business?
00:45:40Yes.
00:45:41Yes, yes.
00:45:42The end is in sight.
00:45:43Really?
00:45:44What would you mind telling me?
00:45:45Listen.
00:45:46What would you mind telling me?
00:45:47Listen.
00:45:48Air rate sirens.
00:45:49Good.
00:45:50Coming our way.
00:45:51Yes.
00:45:52I don't seem to hear any planes.
00:45:53Well, I don't seem to hear any planes.
00:45:54Wait a minute, I can't see you.
00:45:55But wait a minute.
00:45:56I can't see you.
00:45:57I can't see you.
00:45:58I can't see you.
00:45:59Any of these things.
00:46:00What are they doing?
00:46:01Also, I'm gonna get 9 Org.
00:46:02They go along with you.
00:46:03I'd feel better about it.
00:46:04Not at all.
00:46:05I'd appreciate the company.
00:46:06You know, it gets quite lonesome.
00:46:07Especially on a night like this.
00:46:08By the way.
00:46:09Do you feel you're getting any nearer solution of this terrible business?
00:46:11Yes.
00:46:12Yes.
00:46:13The end is in sight.
00:46:14Really?
00:46:15What would you mind telling me?
00:46:17Listen.
00:46:18Air rate sirens.
00:46:19Yes.
00:46:20Coming our way.
00:46:21Yes.
00:46:22Well, I don't seem to hear any planes.
00:46:23Wait a minute.
00:46:24Look, there's one. She's coming right over.
00:46:48There she is.
00:46:49Marshal Wells.
00:46:50Wells.
00:46:51He's coming in for a landing.
00:47:00The swine.
00:47:01That's the pick-up plane.
00:47:02The voice must be here close by.
00:47:03Then we've got him.
00:47:05Madam!
00:47:06Be careful!
00:47:22I can't understand you, Holmes.
00:47:24Why didn't you help me?
00:47:25We almost had him.
00:47:26You're too impatient, Baron.
00:47:27My patience is exhausted.
00:47:28This has got to stop.
00:47:29Thought you'd have solved the whole thing long before this.
00:47:31What happened?
00:47:32Was that a Nazi plane?
00:47:33Yes, I saw the filthy swastika myself.
00:47:35Great Scott.
00:47:36Took a shot at him, but he got away.
00:47:38Mead also got away.
00:47:39Well, I'd better go and report this.
00:47:40No good will you.
00:47:41Come along, Watson.
00:47:42You needn't bother.
00:47:43I can take care of myself.
00:47:44My dear fellow, there's no use taking chances.
00:47:46I'm afraid you're a marked man as long as mead is at large.
00:47:48Come on.
00:47:49You're a fine one leaving me alone half the night.
00:48:02You think I'll like it?
00:48:04I want to go out and have some fun.
00:48:06Don't bother me.
00:48:08You said you were going to let me work with you.
00:48:10Someday you'll come back and I won't be here.
00:48:12Where would you go?
00:48:14What's my business?
00:48:17Maybe you'll be waiting here next time and I won't come back.
00:48:22Don't talk like that.
00:48:24I'm sorry, Kitty.
00:48:27You seem sort of different lately.
00:48:30Anything the matter?
00:48:32Maybe the next time you see me, I'll be in a position of authority, of power.
00:48:36No longer hiding in the dark.
00:48:38Giving the orders, not taking them.
00:48:41What do you say to that?
00:48:44You're drunk.
00:48:47Drunk?
00:48:49Yes.
00:48:51When I was a boy, I dreamed a dream.
00:48:55I was dressed in armor, shining blue-gray armor.
00:49:00I rode on a horse through the streets where the people cheered, hailing me.
00:49:06I rode over the bodies of underlings, prostrated before me.
00:49:16Their blood ran out along the gutters like a river.
00:49:25What if this was no dream?
00:49:27What if it was prophecy?
00:49:30What if all this comes to pass?
00:49:34Well, something must have happened to you.
00:49:40Yes, Kitty.
00:49:44Something that you're going to share with me.
00:49:48Get your coat. Hurry.
00:49:50Get your coat. Hurry.
00:50:06Why two?
00:50:07Is there plenty of petrol?
00:50:08Enough.
00:50:09Start driving.
00:50:20Get your coat.
00:50:21Get your coat.
00:50:22Get your coat.
00:50:23Get your coat.
00:50:40Where's Holmes?
00:50:41He'll be here, I'm sure.
00:50:42It's starting now.
00:50:43Here he is.
00:50:45You're almost late.
00:50:46I had to go to Downing Street.
00:50:48Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:50:51Your favorite broadcaster, the voice of terror, coming to you from Seisburg.
00:50:56Tonight I have something special for you.
00:50:59Where are you weakest, you weakening people of Britain?
00:51:03Consider well.
00:51:04Is it lack of food?
00:51:05Is it your stodgy leadership?
00:51:07Faulty ammunition?
00:51:08Scarcity of shipping?
00:51:09Lack of raw materials?
00:51:11Do you know that despite all your great efforts, your coasts are inadequately defended?
00:51:17Especially one coast.
00:51:19And there we shall strike.
00:51:20Swiftly.
00:51:21Terribly.
00:51:22Tomorrow, at sunrise.
00:51:25In a special broadcast at that time, I shall describe the carnage.
00:51:30Turn it off.
00:51:34What does he mean?
00:51:35What kind of threat is this?
00:51:36Remember, all our reports for the last few weeks have indicated abnormal enemy activity on the coast of Norway.
00:51:42That means an attacking force on our northeast coast.
00:51:45Then that's where we must concentrate all our forces.
00:51:47Immediately.
00:51:48They'll never bring it off now that we know.
00:51:50This time the voice is boasting.
00:51:52Perhaps, but so far he's made good his boasts.
00:51:55What have you done to stop it?
00:51:57Shilly-shallying about while these crimes continue?
00:52:00This is the last straw.
00:52:01We must prevent this all-out attack at any cost.
00:52:03Sir Evans right.
00:52:04All our available resources must be rushed to meet it.
00:52:08Withdraw material from elsewhere?
00:52:10If need be, yes.
00:52:11This cause for action and lots of it.
00:52:15There's something curious about this broadcast.
00:52:18He said tomorrow.
00:52:20Always before, it was now.
00:52:22I wonder what it means.
00:52:24There's no time for wonder at this point.
00:52:26Mr. Holmes, your methods have got us nowhere.
00:52:28The situation demanded action and got none.
00:52:30Mr. Lloyd, I think I know when action should be taken.
00:52:33Nevertheless, we take charge now.
00:52:35This is a crisis you can't hope to deal with.
00:52:39A man to see you, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:40Bring him in.
00:52:41Yes, sir.
00:52:43Mr. Holmes, sir.
00:52:44Last night I trailed Kitty and the fellow Meade.
00:52:47Yes?
00:52:48They went to a place near a bomb village on the coast, sir.
00:52:50North?
00:52:51No, sir.
00:52:52South.
00:52:53South?
00:52:54Why didn't you come sooner?
00:52:55Motor trouble, sir.
00:52:56Just got back.
00:52:57All right.
00:52:58It can't be helped.
00:52:59Stand by until we need you.
00:53:00What?
00:53:01So, it's on the southern coast the drama to be played.
00:53:04The fox is out of his hole at last.
00:53:06Meade has led us to the voice of terror.
00:53:07Gentlemen, we must set out at once.
00:53:09Are you mad?
00:53:10What sort of a wild goose chase are you suggesting?
00:53:12It's ridiculous.
00:53:13It's time to put a stop to this.
00:53:18Barham speaking.
00:53:21Yes, of course.
00:53:26We've been ordered to accompany Mr. Holmes.
00:53:52Carol David?
00:53:54How'd he win?
00:54:07weit mu forty?
00:54:08How'd he win?
00:54:09Look at me.
00:54:10Threats of Anna Jane.
00:54:11No Armenia.
00:54:12All the things we've been on the decision.
00:54:14Your fate, I won't, sir.
00:54:15You're choking you in your Minds shell.
00:54:17Hey, In주?
00:54:18Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:54:20Good evening, sir. All the arrangements have been made.
00:54:22Splendid.
00:54:23And that church up there?
00:54:28Yes, sir.
00:54:29All right. Let's go, gentlemen.
00:54:31Let's go, sir.
00:54:47Von Barck seems to be delayed.
00:54:49He'll be here. Never fear.
00:54:51You all understand your objectives.
00:54:57Sheila.
00:54:58Sheila!
00:55:00Yes, sir.
00:55:02You understand what you are to do?
00:55:04Yes, sir. I'm going with the first contingent to Liverpool.
00:55:06Your men are waiting there, organized to take control?
00:55:09They have been ready and waiting for weeks.
00:55:12What was that?
00:55:20When the world is changing, it is natural to be on edge.
00:55:23Merely owls, or perhaps wood rats?
00:55:26No. It sounded like...
00:55:27Sheila.
00:55:29Yes, sir.
00:55:29Yes, sir.
00:55:31Go on.
00:55:32City of Croydon and Croydon Airport.
00:55:33All is prepared.
00:55:35You go.
00:55:36Birmingham.
00:55:37Where I used to slave in the factories, but not anymore.
00:55:40The day has come at last.
00:55:41Okay.
00:55:51Line them up over there.
00:55:52Mr. Holmes, I was afraid you'd be too late.
00:55:57I'm glad you're safe, Kitty.
00:55:59Come along. Sit down.
00:56:01Gentlemen, when Mr. Meade and I last met, he wished he could put us on trial.
00:56:05Mr. Lloyd, Dr. Watson and myself.
00:56:06Now, Meade, you are on trial.
00:56:07Mr. Lloyd, Dr. Watson and myself.
00:56:08Now, Meade, you are on trial.
00:56:10First, let me tell you why you have met here.
00:56:15The vague but canny threat against our northeastern coast was a blind.
00:56:19Your group was congregated here to receive an invasion army proceeding across the channel.
00:56:21Gentlemen, when Mr. Meade and I last met, he wished he could put us on trial.
00:56:28Mr. Lloyd, Dr. Watson, and myself.
00:56:31Now, Meade, you are on trial.
00:56:35First, let me tell you why you have met here.
00:56:38The vague but canny threat against our northeastern coast was a blind.
00:56:42Your group was congregated here to receive an invasion army proceeding across the channel.
00:56:46What? Invasion here?
00:56:48All those men rushed for defense of the north.
00:56:50I can't believe it.
00:56:52Sit down for a moment.
00:56:54It seems absurd at me.
00:56:58Now, the head of this mighty force, the picked and chosen,
00:57:03the faithful were to proceed to various centers of our country and take up positions of authority.
00:57:07And we shall. Do you understand that?
00:57:09Unfortunately for you, that is not to be.
00:57:11We are held, yes, but the invasion will proceed without us.
00:57:15Why are we helpless here?
00:57:17Please be patient.
00:57:19You called me in on this case.
00:57:21To identify and to silence the voice of terror and to circumvent the unknown plan behind it.
00:57:25That undertaking is still in progress.
00:57:28But we are rapidly drawing to a conclusion.
00:57:31Gentlemen, the voice of terror is here with you in this church.
00:57:36What?
00:57:37Are you referring to Meade?
00:57:39Why, who is it?
00:57:40Meade was my one sure connection with the voice of terror.
00:57:43At the warehouse, I allowed him to escape and assigned Kitty here to trail him.
00:57:48When I learned through Kitty's abduction that Meade had come down here to meet with a group of men, I asked myself why.
00:57:55Why a deserted fishing village on the channel when Scotland was to be the next scene of disaster?
00:58:01And why was it necessary to withdraw great stores of ordnance and material for the protection of Scotland?
00:58:05It was a ruse, gentlemen, to leave this coast unprotected.
00:58:09A ruse devised by the voice of terror.
00:58:11I, uh, I knew quite early, of course, that the voice was a member of your august body.
00:58:18You dare to insinuate that one of us?
00:58:20If this is meant to be humor, it's very ill time.
00:58:23German agents knew I was on the case the very night I was called in.
00:58:28How did they know this secret?
00:58:30One of your counsel informed them.
00:58:32There were attempts made on the lives of all of us.
00:58:35But the attempt made on the life of one of your members was entirely unsubstantiated,
00:58:39resting on his word alone.
00:58:42One member whom I went to the country ostensibly to protect, actually to surprise,
00:58:46this member fired on the Nazi pickup plane.
00:58:48Not in rage, as he pretended, but to warn and frighten it away.
00:58:53That was very clever of you, Sir Evan.
00:58:57Sir Evan? Why, I can't believe it.
00:59:00Sir Evan couldn't be implicated in a thing like this.
00:59:02What's Sir Evan got to say?
00:59:06Let me congratulate you, Mr. Holmes.
00:59:08You admit this outrageous accusation?
00:59:10There's been treason before, but this is beyond belief.
00:59:13Treason is not involved.
00:59:14Sir Evan Barham is not Sir Evan Barham.
00:59:17What are you talking about?
00:59:18In March 1918, Lieutenant Evan Barham was a prisoner in a German prison camp.
00:59:23There, his amazing resemblance to a certain Heinrich von Bork,
00:59:26a brilliant young member of the German secret service.
00:59:29Sealed young Barham's fate.
00:59:31One morning he was taken out and shot, murdered in cold blood.
00:59:35Then this man is...
00:59:36He is Heinrich von Bork, who has been masquerading in Barham's place for the past 24 years.
00:59:41You see, gentlemen, the Germans plan well in advance.
00:59:44It's incredible. How could a thing like this happen?
00:59:47Barham had no immediate family.
00:59:49The details of his private life were avidly studied by von Bork,
00:59:52who was three years at Oxford and had a perfect knowledge of the English language and English habits.
00:59:56So, with possibly the help of a little plastic surgery,
01:00:00not forgetting the considerable resemblance to Barham in the first place,
01:00:04the deception was carried through.
01:00:06Very clever, Mr. Holmes.
01:00:08I must say, Holmes, this is positively amazing.
01:00:11What made you first suspect Barham?
01:00:14The real Sir Evan Barham carried a scar from childhood.
01:00:17This one is about 20 years old.
01:00:20A detail, but significant.
01:00:22I can't believe it.
01:00:24It was Barham who insisted on your being brought into the case.
01:00:27A colossal piece of egocentric conceit.
01:00:29One to match your own, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:00:31Of course I brought you into the case.
01:00:33To see your weak and silly handling, to watch you fumble and lose it.
01:00:37Are you too stupid to realize that this group is but a small part of our organization?
01:00:42We have men stationed all over England, ready to take command.
01:00:45They never will.
01:00:46They were all taken exactly at dawn, just as you were.
01:00:49So now we are trapped, huh?
01:00:52No, gentlemen.
01:00:53It is you who are trapped.
01:00:55Listen.
01:00:58Even now our Messerschmitts are roaring overhead.
01:01:01The vanguard of the invasion.
01:01:03Why are they not routed?
01:01:05Where are our boasted anti-aircraft guns?
01:01:07They are silent.
01:01:09Our little ruse was entirely successful.
01:01:11The coast has been stripped of its defenses.
01:01:14Preserve your vaunted British vanity as best you may.
01:01:17In this your hour of most humiliating defeat.
01:01:20You have not captured us, my friend.
01:01:23We have annihilated you.
01:01:25Do you really think it's so blind that we would strip this coast of defenses
01:01:29because of a voice on a phonograph record?
01:01:31The council was deliberately misinformed about moving the defense forces.
01:01:35You are trying to save your face.
01:01:37Look.
01:01:38If you think I'm lying.
01:01:43Those are not Messerschmitts.
01:01:45They are spitfires and hurricanes.
01:01:47Returning from blasting your invasion forces.
01:01:49Destroying men in barges with a thousand.
01:01:52Look further, Van Bork.
01:01:53Look below.
01:01:56Commandos.
01:01:57Tanks.
01:01:58Slipping away now that your invasion force has been destroyed.
01:02:00To bring ruin and terror to your people.
01:02:07I wonder if there's anything on the wireless about this.
01:02:16The BBC.
01:02:17We are frightfully sorry to announce that a special broadcast of the voice of terror
01:02:22will have to be delayed indefinitely.
01:02:26A threat against our northern coasts made only as a blind
01:02:29to cover the enemy's invasion plans has not been fulfilled.
01:02:32Instead, our victorious planes have blasted invasion bases on the continent,
01:02:37destroying enormous stores of materiel and troops.
01:02:40More news of this triumphant victory tomorrow.
01:02:43At the same time, the scattered Nazi agents all over the Commonwealth
01:02:47have been unceremoniously clapped into prison.
01:02:51That is all.
01:02:52Look out!
01:02:53This girl merits our deepest gratitude.
01:03:12Our country is honored in having had such loyalty and devotion.
01:03:16We'll remember.
01:03:18Holmes,
01:03:20I don't know how we'll ever thank you.
01:03:23Don't try. It isn't necessary.
01:03:29I'll be with you in a minute, Holmes.
01:03:31I'll just see if she's taken care of.
01:03:33I always did think that chap was an imposter.
01:03:46Byron was a good fellow.
01:03:48Played wing three-quarter for the school.
01:03:50What a lovely morning, Holmes.
01:04:05There's an east wind coming, Watson.
01:04:07No, I don't think so.
01:04:09Looks like another warm day.
01:04:12Good old Watson.
01:04:15The one fixed point in a changing age.
01:04:19There's an east wind coming all the same.
01:04:22Such a wind has never blew on England yet.
01:04:25It will be cold and bitter, Watson.
01:04:28And a good many of us may wither before its blast.
01:04:32But it's God's own wind nonetheless.
01:04:35And a greener, better, stronger land
01:04:37will lie in the sunshine when the storm is cleared.
01:04:49Let's see it.
01:04:50With joy
01:04:51THE END
01:05:21THE END
