00:01:38Germany broadcasting, Germany broadcasting, people of Britain, greetings from the Third Reich.
00:01:43This is the voice you have learned to fear. This is the voice of terror.
00:01:47Again we bring you disaster, crushing, humiliating disaster.
00:01:51It is folly to stand against the mighty wrath of the Fuhrer.
00:01:54Do you need more testimony of his invincible might to bring you to your knees?
00:01:58Very well. Are you ready, operative number seven?
00:02:01This is the voice of terror.
00:02:03A secret airplane factory somewhere in England.
00:02:07Listen, all screams of the dying can still be heard.
00:02:11This is the voice of terror.
00:02:14Are you there, people of Britain, shivering in your cellars?
00:02:17Listen, operative 41. The fuse is lighted.
00:02:22Oil to fuel your navy, to feed your tanks.
00:02:25There it goes up in smoke by the millions of gallons.
00:02:28This is the voice of terror.
00:02:30Do you still believe that there are secrets unknown to the Fuhrer?
00:02:33Listen. Tonight at 7.10 an important diplomat boarded a train at a little station outside Liverpool.
00:02:40Each split second is accounted for.
00:02:43The rails divide. The train hurtles through the air.
00:02:46The diplomat will make no report in London.
00:02:50This is the voice of terror.
00:02:52Englishmen, do you still await your doom in your stupid, stuffy little clubs?
00:02:56It will come, I promise you.
00:02:58Operative 23, the time is now.
00:03:02We strike you on the high seas as well as on the land.
00:03:07This is the voice of terror.
00:03:10Englishmen, the Fuhrer strikes you now as he pleases.
00:03:14Water pours through your greatest dam, smashing everything before it,
00:03:18even as our invincible armies roll toward their objectives.
00:03:28Despite effective work done by the Intelligence Inner Council,
00:03:32jailing fifth columnists and saboteurs,
00:03:34despite their efficiency in coordinating military strategy
00:03:38based on information of enemy movements,
00:03:40they seem unable to cope with the voice of terror.
00:03:43Already six military catastrophes have occurred.
00:03:46The unmitigated nerve of the press. Now they're attacking us.
00:03:50Blast the Fuhrer of the Kingdom. Come.
00:03:52If only we could keep this insidious stuff off the air.
00:03:54I'm not sure that I agree with you. What purpose would that serve?
00:03:57Well, the people wouldn't have to listen to it.
00:03:59I've been talking to Crosby, the radio technician.
00:04:01If we want him jammed off the air, Crosby can do it.
00:04:04I've been working along other lines.
00:04:07I've asked Mr. Sherlock Holmes to come here.
00:04:09What? Sherlock Holmes?
00:04:11This isn't a case for a private detective. It's a matter of state.
00:04:14In this emergency, we should take advantage of everyone's peculiar gifts.
00:04:18Mr. Holmes is the most subtle and extraordinary private investigator of our time.
00:04:22Are you intimating that the Army and Navy Intelligence plus Cotton Yard
00:04:25are not equal to the Occasions 11?
00:04:27I'm sure they're equal to any occasion.
00:04:29They've done a marvelous job of lining up fifth columnists, saboteurs,
00:04:32and keeping us informed of the enemy's movements.
00:04:34But the voice of terror seems to have them stumped.
00:04:37Sherlock Holmes may have a new approach that will solve the problem.
00:04:40What's happened inside these walls has always been secret.
00:04:43We don't want any outsiders here.
00:04:46I'm positively and irrevocably opposed to calling in Sherlock Holmes.
00:04:50Perhaps you'll change your mind.
00:04:52I see nothing whatever to make me do so.
00:04:54Prentice is right.
00:04:56For ordinary criminal investigation, Holmes is excellent, but not for this.
00:05:00He's unorthodox and theatrical. I can tell you all about him.
00:05:02Gentlemen, perhaps I can throw some light on the subject myself.
00:05:07Holmes! How are you?
00:05:09So good of you to come.
00:05:10Good afternoon, Sir Evan. Your card opened all doors.
00:05:13Oh, a blouser!
00:05:16You've put on a little weight since you left school.
00:05:19You don't look any younger yourself, Dimples.
00:05:21How are you?
00:05:22Fine. Come in, would you?
00:05:25You know these gentlemen?
00:05:26I think so. How do you do?
00:05:28I haven't had that pleasure.
00:05:31May I introduce my friend and associate, Dr. Watson?
00:05:34How do you do?
00:05:38I'm afraid I've arrived at an embarrassing moment.
00:05:40Not at all.
00:05:42This gentleman here.
00:05:43Admiral Sir John Prentice.
00:05:45Admiral Prentice objects most strongly to my being called in.
00:05:48How could you possibly infer that?
00:05:50From the carpet.
00:05:51Carpet?
00:05:52A man who rises from his chair and digs his heels sternly into the carpet
00:05:56is violently opposed to something.
00:05:57And the Admiral, being quite distressed by the criticisms of the press,
00:06:00would be most apt to resent my intrusion.
00:06:02Were?
00:06:03You've just arrived from Sevenoaks.
00:06:05Yes, of course. I...
00:06:07How on earth did you know that?
00:06:08Oh, pardon my mentioning it, but, uh,
00:06:10adhering to your left boot heel is a variety of clay known only in Sevenoaks.
00:06:16An amazing piece of deduction.
00:06:18Elementary, my dear borough.
00:06:20Here's a broadcast of the Voice of Terror.
00:06:27Greetings from the Third Reich.
00:06:29Are you listening, stout fellows across the channel?
00:06:31Are you listening, you little body of incompetent men known as the Inner Council?
00:06:35Today, a new thrill.
00:06:37A new proof of the invincibility of the Führer.
00:06:39Right now, a crack express train laden with British troops and nurses
00:06:43is speeding across England.
00:06:45In just one moment, it will leave the rails forever,
00:06:47crashing twisted metal.
00:06:49The cries of the dying...
00:06:50They can't. They wouldn't dare.
00:06:52It's impossible. They couldn't have got on.
00:06:53Men are laughing, joking.
00:06:55That one in the third car reads a letter from home.
00:06:57It is the last letter he will ever receive.
00:06:59The train is rounding a curve.
00:07:01Its whistle is screaming.
00:07:03Farewell, it is saying. Farewell.
00:07:08You have just heard an exact reproduction of the way it sounds.
00:07:11The way it must actually be.
00:07:14The hearts of the German people plead
00:07:16that innocent men and women have to be killed
00:07:18because your stupid war...
00:07:20Uh, Shaw speaking.
00:07:21Have you any news of the Liverpool Express?
00:07:23...offered in peace.
00:07:24But if your blundering war cabinet
00:07:26cannot see that England is already lost,
00:07:28then it is our sacred German duty to prove it to them
00:07:32over and over and over
00:07:34until they are on their knees
00:07:35begging, pleading, groveling
00:07:37for the exquisite mercy of our Führer.
00:07:40Each night, the voice of terror...
00:07:42Turn it off.
00:07:43Stop it.
00:07:45Even as you listen, and you...
00:07:49I'm sorry.
00:07:50I'm sorry.
00:07:53Do what you can, Holmes.
00:07:55This frightful thing has got to be stopped.
00:07:59His son was on that train.
00:08:05How did they find out about the truce?
00:08:07It was an absolute secret.
00:08:08Gentlemen, something must be done about this thing at once.
00:08:12Yes.
00:08:13First of all, then, the voice must not be blocked off the air.
00:08:16But he's a menace.
00:08:17All over the empire, this horrible news is broadcast.
00:08:20Blown up out of all proportions.
00:08:22The world is beginning to believe it.
00:08:24Even our allies are counting England out.
00:08:27People are frightened, panicky.
00:08:29The British people are not so easily panicked.
00:08:31It's dangerous, I tell you, to let this thing go on.
00:08:33Dangerous, yes, Captain Shaw.
00:08:34But we must continue to listen.
00:08:36What for?
00:08:37So that we can keep on guessing who it is?
00:08:39His identity is not important.
00:08:41The important thing is
00:08:43the purpose behind this campaign of terror.
00:08:46Purpose, indeed.
00:08:47Isn't it enough that our most secret plans are known?
00:08:49Our ships are being destroyed, our trains wrecked.
00:08:53I'm convinced that these disasters are only a prelude.
00:08:56A smokescreen to cover up a more diabolic plan.
00:09:00And I intend to find out what that plan is.
00:09:03This council and Scotland Yard will give you all the aid you require.
00:09:07Gentlemen, my connection with this case must remain absolutely secret.
00:09:11You understand that, of course.
00:09:12I certainly do.
00:09:13You will let the council know at all times just what you're doing.
00:09:18I shall give you such information as I think wise to disclose in the interests of safety,
00:09:22both the public's and your own.
00:09:24The inner council has never shared its secrets with anyone.
00:09:27I demand that you keep us informed of your activities and progress.
00:09:33Come along, Watson.
00:09:37Mr. Holmes.
00:09:39I want to apologize for your rather lukewarm reception here.
00:09:42Oh, thank you, Sir Evan.
00:09:43I'm used to the chilly atmosphere of high places.
00:09:45And, of course, you recognize the importance of time.
00:09:48Quite. And results.
00:09:50Mr. Lloyd, I'm quite sure that Mr. Holmes can be trusted not to fail.
00:09:53He never has, you know.
00:09:55Thank you, Watson. The word is seldom.
00:09:57Goodbye, Sir Evan.
00:09:58Goodbye, sir.
00:09:59Goodbye, Byron.
00:10:00Goodbye, Watson.
00:10:02Byron, shall we walk for a bit or take a taxi?
00:10:04I'm afraid we have no choice.
00:10:05Huh?
00:10:06You know, Watson, I have a feeling that when we go out of that door, a girl will be waiting.
00:10:11A girl? What do you mean?
00:10:12A young lady whom neither of us has ever seen before will come forward to greet us.
00:10:16Holmes, now you're pulling my leg here.
00:10:23Mr. Holmes, I'm Jill Grandis.
00:10:24How do you do? This is my friend, Dr. Watson.
00:10:26How do you do?
00:10:27How do you do?
00:10:28I've been assigned to drive you around.
00:10:30Good gracious me.
00:10:31Where do you wish to go?
00:10:32Baker Street.
00:10:33I know. 221B.
00:10:34Come along, Watson. Hurry up, old fellow.
00:10:42Holmes, is the girl waiting?
00:10:44Oh, what an extraordinary thing.
00:10:46Elementary, my dear Watson.
00:10:47No, no, no. It's an amazing deduction.
00:10:49How on earth did you arrive at it?
00:10:51Byron told me.
00:10:52Huh?
00:10:53Oh.
00:11:12Oh.
00:11:13Don't you worry, Mrs. Hudson.
00:11:15Just giving her a bit of a clean.
00:11:17Now we're on a case again.
00:11:18The joints are a bit rusty, like mine, you know.
00:11:23Is he back on a case again?
00:11:25Case.
00:11:26The greatest case of his, of our career.
00:11:28Oh, mercy it always is.
00:11:42Holmes.
00:11:43Mr. Holmes.
00:11:44What?
00:11:45What's the matter?
00:11:46Well, if you ask me, it's disgraceful.
00:11:48Head opens first?
00:11:50Not at all. It's very good.
00:11:52Ronald Headley's conducting very well tonight.
00:11:54I don't mean the concert.
00:11:56No?
00:11:57England's in danger.
00:11:58Heaven knows what frightful disaster's happening,
00:12:00and you sit there calmly, listening to the wireless.
00:12:03You don't mean the concert.
00:12:05No?
00:12:06England's in danger.
00:12:07Heaven knows what frightful disaster's happening,
00:12:09and you sit there calmly, listening to the wireless.
00:12:11Music hath charms. Very restful.
00:12:13That's got nothing to do with the whole...
00:12:14Can't you, my dear Watson, it may have a great deal to do with it.
00:12:17Oh, really? I don't see what.
00:12:28BBC request station, this is Sherlock Holmes.
00:12:30I understand you play recordings.
00:12:32Would you mind playing Beethoven's Fifth,
00:12:34conducted by Sir Ronald Headley?
00:12:36Thank you very much.
00:12:38I like it.
00:12:47We've had a request for the Beethoven Fifth Symphony,
00:12:50played by the London Symphony Orchestra,
00:12:52under the direction of Sir Ronald Headley.
00:12:55This is a transcription.
00:13:08© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:13:39Shh.
00:14:02Mr. Holmes.
00:14:03Yes, Gavin?
00:14:04I... I...
00:14:07Christopher...
00:14:11Dead?
00:14:14Yes.
00:14:18He's been driven in with a lot of force.
00:14:20Watson, this is a warning.
00:14:26Warning? How do you know?
00:14:29I had sent for Gavin to get certain information,
00:14:32which you must have found,
00:14:34there in the dark and sinister alleys of Limehouse.
00:14:37He came with his message,
00:14:39which someone doesn't want me to hear,
00:14:41someone determined and dangerous.
00:14:43What's the good of a warning of danger?
00:14:45You learn from what or from whom?
00:14:47That we shall have to discover.
00:14:49This knife was thrown by the tip,
00:14:51from a distance of about 50 feet,
00:14:53by a man about 5 foot 10.
00:14:55Steady, Holmes.
00:14:56Elementary, no fingerprints.
00:14:58But the distance and the man's height.
00:15:00The force with which it penetrated the victim.
00:15:02But, Holmes, what do you suppose he meant when he said Christopher?
00:15:05We must find out at once. Come along, Watson.
00:15:07What?
00:15:11Come in.
00:15:13Oh, Mr. Holmes, I saw a fellow lurking about your step tonight.
00:15:17Limey won't lurk no more.
00:15:19Go in the yard, take care of it, Dobson.
00:15:20Very good, sir.
00:15:21How did he do that?
00:15:22Haven't time now. Get your coat on, Watson. We're going out.
00:15:27No, no, no, no.
00:15:28Holmes, you promised.
00:15:31Where are we going?
00:15:32Limehouse.
00:15:59It would certainly work.
00:16:01It would certainly be wise of you to let Miss Grandis go.
00:16:04She's no space figure or anyone else.
00:16:06That seems to be what people are about.
00:16:19Even Miss Grandis.
00:16:22I'm not mistaken she's keeping an eye on us.
00:16:24You're Mr. Sherlock Holmes, ain't you?
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29I wouldn't come down here if I was you.
00:16:31This is Limehouse, and we don't fancy your sort of bloke in these parts.
00:16:36The fellow's absolutely right. Hadn't we better be...
00:16:38Well, Watson, this is still a free country.
00:16:41A man may walk where he pleases.
00:16:43A man lives to regret it.
00:16:45Live, yes. Regret it, I think not.
00:16:48Step back.
00:16:50Come on, Watson.
00:16:53I'm sure of it, Watson.
00:16:54Speak of it.
00:16:58Come on.
00:17:10What was that, Holmes?
00:17:11It's all right, quiet.
00:17:13I can't see a thing.
00:17:15Luckily for us, neither can they.
00:17:28Apparently the enemies found out that we joined forces with the government.
00:17:31What makes you think that?
00:17:35This knife, like the knife which killed Gavin,
00:17:38was thrown by a former obituary of the Doctor Hamburg.
00:17:41It's a German knife.
00:17:42The knife-throwers of Hamburg are extremely expert.
00:17:45I say, Holmes, can't we come back in the daytime?
00:17:47Certainly not.
00:17:48I don't think we're safe.
00:17:49No one in the world is safe now, Watson.
00:17:51Least of all us.
00:17:57What is it?
00:18:16What is it?
00:18:22Don't tell me that you don't recognize me.
00:18:25Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:18:27I got a specially ugly lot here tonight.
00:18:29I like my chances.
00:18:31I can't keep you up, Mr. Holmes, but...
00:18:55Where's the girl Kitty?
00:18:56Gavin's sweetheart.
00:18:57His wife.
00:18:58Can you get her?
00:18:59It's urgent.
00:19:01Try.
00:19:03Holmes, you don't think I like this place, do you?
00:19:25Well, just sit here, if you don't mind.
00:19:28I think you'll recognize me, Mr. Holmes,
00:19:30if you look hard enough.
00:19:32Camberwell.
00:19:33You've got a long memory.
00:19:35Like me.
00:19:36Tarleton murder, 1932.
00:19:38Of course, I sent you up.
00:19:39Mr. Holmes, don't you think we'd better be...
00:19:41Shut up, Gavin.
00:19:43For ten long years, I've been sitting down there in Dartmoor.
00:19:47For the old ten years, one thing's been praying to me.
00:19:50Only one?
00:19:51Just one.
00:19:52Someday I'll be getting out of here, I kept saying to myself.
00:19:55And when I do,
00:19:56someday I'm going to come face to face with Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:19:59Now you are.
00:20:00And now I am.
00:20:02Just who was it told you it was me
00:20:04who slit the throat of that swine, Tarleton?
00:20:07I want an answer.
00:20:09You told me.
00:20:13Me?
00:20:14On the windowsill.
00:20:15You told me.
00:20:16You told me.
00:20:18Me?
00:20:19On the windowsill, you left four infinitesimal pieces of ash
00:20:22from a particularly revolting kind of tobacco
00:20:25that you were known to use.
00:20:26A knife blade resharpened by a left-handed man.
00:20:28You signed your name to the crime.
00:20:30So that's what.
00:20:32Exactly.
00:20:34Very careless.
00:20:35Careless?
00:20:37It's criminal, I calls it.
00:20:38I ought to be shot.
00:20:40Perhaps someday you will be.
00:20:42You can put your revolver away now, Watson.
00:20:45Well, Holmes, you'll never know.
00:20:58Where's Gavin?
00:20:59Sit down, Kitty.
00:21:01Where is he?
00:21:03You've got him into trouble.
00:21:04What have you done to him?
00:21:06Take it easy, Kitty.
00:21:09Gavin's dead.
00:21:12Dead?
00:21:15Oh, it ain't possible.
00:21:17I was with him only two hours ago.
00:21:21You're trying to frighten me.
00:21:23No, I'm not, Kitty.
00:21:26It's you.
00:21:27You killed him.
00:21:29I warned him to stay away from you.
00:21:31I knew you'd do him in.
00:21:33I had nothing to do with it, Kitty.
00:21:34Well, who did then?
00:21:35Who did?
00:21:37He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:45I'm sorry.
00:21:47I'm deeply in his debt.
00:21:51Before he died, he said one word.
00:21:55Christopher.
00:22:01You know what it means?
00:22:03I've got to know.
00:22:05What's that to me?
00:22:07You want to avenge Gavin's death, don't you?
00:22:09I've got to know.
00:22:10What's that to me?
00:22:12You want to avenge Gavin's death, don't you?
00:22:14I don't want nothing to do with it, nor with you.
00:22:17I never had any dealings with the police, and I won't start now.
00:22:20I'm not asking this for myself.
00:22:22Our country, England, is at stake.
00:22:29Gavin was killed not by his own enemies, not even mine,
00:22:32but by the enemies of England.
00:22:35So that's it.
00:22:37Yes, Kitty.
00:22:38The Nazis killed him.
00:22:41Help me to find out what Christopher means,
00:22:43and I promise the man who murdered Gavin shall pay for it.
00:22:48Think, Kitty.
00:22:50The cutthroats of the world menace us all.
00:22:53You can help stop this savagery.
00:22:55Yes, you, Kitty.
00:22:57You could take the police weeks, months perhaps,
00:23:00to find out a certain piece of information we must have.
00:23:03That's not so with you and your friends.
00:23:05You know every nook and corner of London.
00:23:08Get them to help us.
00:23:10We need their help.
00:23:12Your friends will become an army.
00:23:14Do you understand?
00:23:16Secret, invisible, and mighty.
00:23:18And you will be at their head, Kitty.
00:23:20You will be their leader.
00:23:37Primes, do you know what Christopher means?
00:23:41No.
00:23:44Dugan.
00:23:46Do you know?
00:23:48Dugan, listen to me.
00:23:50I ain't got no time to listen to you, girlie.
00:23:52But you gotta listen.
00:23:54Someone killed Gavin, I don't know who,
00:23:56but you gotta help me find out.
00:24:01All right, don't help me then.
00:24:03Cut your own throats, that's what you're doing.
00:24:05Help me or help the Nazis.
00:24:06Sure, the Nazis killed Gavin.
00:24:08They might be your friends
00:24:10protecting them the way you are.
00:24:12Don't you know that all the crimes they commit
00:24:14are being blamed on you?
00:24:16Well, they are, and I hope you hang for them.
00:24:18You can have it.
00:24:20For me, I'm British, and I'm proud of it.
00:24:22Nobody's gonna call me a Nazi and get away with it.
00:24:24Well, help me then.
00:24:26Tell me what Christopher means.
00:24:28Well, don't anybody know?
00:24:30It's gotta mean something.
00:24:32Well, speak up if you know what it is.
00:24:34Let's have it.
00:24:36Don't mean a thing to me.
00:24:38You've been a creep in the corners all your life.
00:24:40Are you gonna sneak away
00:24:42at the very sight of a man like this
00:24:44and show him what coward you are?
00:24:46What are you afraid of?
00:24:48I'm not asking this for myself.
00:24:50England's at stake.
00:24:52You're injured as much as anyone else is.
00:24:54I've got no time to think about whose side we're on.
00:24:57There's only one side,
00:24:58England.
00:25:00No matter how high or how low we are.
00:25:02You, you, you and you.
00:25:04We're all on the same team.
00:25:06We've all got the same goal, victory.
00:25:08Now we are talking.
00:25:10Spread out all over London.
00:25:12But find out what Christopher means.
00:25:14We'll find out.
00:25:16No fear about that.
00:25:22Thank you, Petey.
00:25:24Well done, my dear.
00:25:25Well done, my dear.
00:25:31Shaw speaking.
00:25:33Yes, Miss Granders.
00:25:35That checks with my report.
00:25:37No, Miss Granders.
00:25:39Sir Evan hasn't arrived yet.
00:25:41Yes, thank you.
00:25:43Miss Granders reports that Holmes
00:25:45spent some time at the Air Ministry today.
00:25:47That checks with my information.
00:25:49Last night a murder
00:25:51and a session in Limehouse.
00:25:53I wonder what the fellow...
00:25:55I don't think I need to report
00:25:57on my activities, gentlemen.
00:25:59You must be fairly well informed.
00:26:01We have our methods, Holmes.
00:26:03It only remains for you to show
00:26:05what's been accomplished.
00:26:07Good evening, gentlemen.
00:26:09Good evening, Sir Evan.
00:26:11What's the matter? You look pale.
00:26:13Oh, it's nothing.
00:26:15Baron, your hand.
00:26:17Let's have a look at it, Baron.
00:26:19Oh, it's really nothing.
00:26:21Just an accident.
00:26:23What sort of an accident?
00:26:25I haven't.
00:26:27He popped up out of the bushes
00:26:29just as I was getting into my car.
00:26:31Fired once, then disappeared.
00:26:33What do you make of it, Watson?
00:26:35Bullet wound.
00:26:37Congratulations.
00:26:39This is a matter for the police.
00:26:41Oh, no, please.
00:26:43I can never identify him.
00:26:45Let's forget it.
00:26:47Captain Shaw.
00:26:49People of Britain, greetings.
00:26:51Is it shock you need?
00:26:53Very well.
00:26:55Britain's proud head is in the dust
00:26:57where it belongs.
00:26:59People of London,
00:27:01look out of your windows.
00:27:03You will see your promised disaster
00:27:05written across the skies.
00:27:07Lawford, turn out the lights, please.
00:27:09Look to the East India docks.
00:27:11Are you alert, number 20?
00:27:13Look, Britain, look,
00:27:15and wonder and despair.
00:27:18We Nazis keep our promises.
00:27:21There's a terrible fire in East End.
00:27:22...of men and supplies,
00:27:24American bombers, tanks,
00:27:26gone, destroyed utterly.
00:27:29The flames are mounting
00:27:31higher and higher and higher.
00:27:33Now the glare must be visible
00:27:35even to the short-sighted leaders
00:27:37of your bewildered government.
00:27:39Mark well the towering fires.
00:27:41They consume your new planes from America,
00:27:44your meager store of tanks,
00:27:46your puny munitions,
00:27:48and your food.
00:27:50Planes that were your only defense
00:27:52against our all-powerful Luftwaffe,
00:27:54tanks and munitions
00:27:56that you prayed would hold
00:27:58against the magnificent
00:28:0050-ton German land monsters
00:28:02which will soon be crashing
00:28:04through your very houses.
00:28:06Food.
00:28:08Destroy the morsels you cook.
00:28:23Gentlemen, this is really a terrible setback.
00:28:26How do they find out our secrets?
00:28:28It's horrible the way it's timed,
00:28:30the precision of it.
00:28:32It's not so precise.
00:28:34Almost precise.
00:28:36What do you mean?
00:28:38I should call it exact.
00:28:40No, the fires actually broke out
00:28:42sometime before the voice
00:28:44called to his operative in London.
00:28:46Joe, that's true.
00:28:48And last time, the train disaster.
00:28:50Captain Shaw was on the telephone immediately.
00:28:52That's all about it.
00:28:54The derailment must have occurred
00:28:56at least 10 minutes earlier.
00:28:58That's certainly possible.
00:29:00Even so, what of it?
00:29:02No mystery, nothing supernatural,
00:29:04just split-second planning, that's all.
00:29:06Days, perhaps weeks in advance.
00:29:08Very well figured out, Holmes.
00:29:10It gets us a step forward.
00:29:12Now, gentlemen,
00:29:14let's take a step even further.
00:29:16I have charted here the tonal differences
00:29:18between actual and transcribed broadcasts.
00:29:20Using this test,
00:29:22what does that prove?
00:29:24It proves that the voice of terror,
00:29:26the man himself, is not in Germany.
00:29:28He's here, in England.
00:29:30Oh, it's impossible.
00:29:32What are you telling us, Holmes?
00:29:34They can't be.
00:29:36Our technicians insist
00:29:38the broadcasts originate in Zeisberg.
00:29:40And so they do,
00:29:42from recordings flown to Zeisberg.
00:29:44It's impossible, Holmes.
00:29:46You can't expect anyone to believe that.
00:29:48It can't be done.
00:29:50Thanks to the Royal Air Force,
00:29:52it's possible.
00:29:54That's nonsense.
00:29:56The Nazis aren't fools.
00:29:58They don't waste ammunition.
00:30:00Of course not.
00:30:02And what's the purpose?
00:30:04To divert attention from the fact
00:30:06that a single plane breaks formation
00:30:08each time it disappears.
00:30:10But why?
00:30:12Gentlemen,
00:30:14that lone plane picks up plans, maps,
00:30:16secret military information,
00:30:18and the voice of terror's timed and recorded speech
00:30:20and flies them to Germany.
00:30:22That's right. Asking...
00:30:24A lady?
00:30:26Ask her to come in.
00:30:28Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:30:38Gentlemen, I must leave at once.
00:30:40Where are you going?
00:30:42That must remain a secret,
00:30:44hidden from this council.
00:30:46I object to this, Mr. Holmes.
00:30:48You're here against my wishes.
00:30:50Since you are here,
00:30:52I won't see you again, gentlemen,
00:30:54until we meet again,
00:30:56as I hope we will.
00:30:58Take no unnecessary risks.
00:31:00We're all in grave danger.
00:31:02Come on, Watson.
00:31:04Coming.
00:31:10Stink.
00:31:22Holmes.
00:31:46Holmes.
00:31:48I think we're being followed.
00:31:50Yes, I know.
00:31:52It's so obvious about it.
00:31:58Good evening, Mr. Lloyd.
00:32:01Are you going our way?
00:32:03I intend to find out what you're doing,
00:32:05even to the point of following me.
00:32:07This is our business, you know, as well as yours.
00:32:09All right. Come along.
00:32:17This place
00:32:19seems deserted.
00:32:20Deserted?
00:32:22Deserted for years.
00:32:27Not very securely locked.
00:32:29Fortunate, isn't it?
00:32:47Water.
00:32:48It's the river.
00:32:50This is part of the old Christopher docks.
00:32:52Never heard of them, Christopher.
00:32:54I say, Holmes, isn't that the word that Gary...
00:32:56Quiet, Watson.
00:32:58Oh, sorry.
00:33:00You're almost forgotten.
00:33:02They were built before Victoria.
00:33:19Oh.
00:33:44Oh, Fred.
00:33:48Oh, Fred.
00:34:19Good evening, gentlemen.
00:34:21I knew your curiosity
00:34:23would be your undoing, Mr. Holmes.
00:34:25You were expecting me, then?
00:34:27Yes.
00:34:29I had hoped that the entire council might have come.
00:34:31It would have been a pleasure
00:34:33to deal with all of them,
00:34:35quietly and effectively.
00:34:37Eventually, they all will be taken care of.
00:34:40However, Mr. Lloyd is quite a catch
00:34:42and will have to suffice for the moment.
00:34:44What do you intend to do with us?
00:34:45What do you intend to do with us?
00:34:53Were it not that time is so pressing,
00:34:55we might first put you on trial.
00:34:57On trial for what?
00:34:59Crimes against the Third Reich.
00:35:01Misguided efforts to wreck our inevitable victory.
00:35:05Mr. Lloyd,
00:35:07your super-British patriotism,
00:35:09your blundering,
00:35:11but sometimes effective intelligence efforts
00:35:13are well known.
00:35:15I have a score against you
00:35:17which will be settled.
00:35:20Dr. Watson,
00:35:22a fair physician, no doubt,
00:35:24but of no consequence.
00:35:26To our stupid British minds,
00:35:28every life is of consequence.
00:35:30A quaint notion of an even quainter nation.
00:35:34We are not like that.
00:35:36We know that only the powerful
00:35:38are worthy of respect.
00:35:41Let our record speak for us.
00:35:43Your record speaks.
00:35:45Brilliant.
00:35:47A brilliant record of rapacity,
00:35:49cruelty, torture, deceit and murder.
00:35:52Murder?
00:36:02Gesundheit.
00:36:09Cold?
00:36:10It is a little chilly in here.
00:36:11I'm sorry, you're uncomfortable.
00:36:12My discomfort is of no consequence.
00:36:14Your false courage is not impressive, Mr. Holmes.
00:36:18Of course you realize
00:36:20that you and your friends are going to die.
00:36:22As all men must, sooner or later.
00:36:24Not later.
00:36:26Now.
00:36:42Come on, boys.
00:37:02Keep up.
00:37:04Good work, boys.
00:37:06All right, then.
00:37:08Come on.
00:37:12Come on.
00:37:38He got away.
00:37:40Most unfortunate.
00:37:42He shot himself severely.
00:37:44I should think you might, Holmes.
00:37:46If you hadn't been so stupidly mysterious,
00:37:48allowed Scotland Yard to give you adequate protection,
00:37:50the man would never have escaped.
00:37:52No, he never would.
00:37:54Most regrettable.
00:37:56Gesundheit.
00:37:57Yes.
00:38:13Keep quiet.
00:38:18Take your hands off me.
00:38:20You fool.
00:38:22Do I bring the whole force in here?
00:38:42Oh, dear.
00:39:12So, that was it, eh?
00:39:16Quite a haul.
00:39:18It's mine.
00:39:24I'm going to bed.
00:39:26Good night.
00:39:28Good night.
00:39:30Good night.
00:39:32Good night.
00:39:34Good night.
00:39:36Good night.
00:39:38Good night.
00:39:40Good night.
00:39:42Good night.
00:39:58Go ahead.
00:40:00Your friends the police are undoubtedly still out there.
00:40:13There isn't a better hideout in all London.
00:40:40This will quiet your nerves.
00:40:43I'm going to bed.
00:41:07The tea's got cold again.
00:41:09You been playing that thing all afternoon?
00:41:10Fiddling while rum burns.
00:41:15Hello, what's this?
00:41:17General Jay Lawford, KCB DSO, and Captain Roland Shaw, MC,
00:41:21who today narrowly escaped being struck by a falling wall in a bombed area.
00:41:26Lawford and Shaw by a falling...
00:41:29Holmes.
00:41:31You don't think that...
00:41:33It was not an accident.
00:41:35Good heavens.
00:41:37Holmes.
00:41:38That sinister looking fellow, what's his name?
00:41:40Meade.
00:41:41If only he hadn't got away with it.
00:41:43Yes, difficult as it was, I managed to let him escape.
00:41:45You let him escape? But great Scot man.
00:41:47He was about to kill us.
00:41:49He may even yet.
00:41:51I don't understand you, Holmes.
00:41:53It's my theory that this chap Meade is the arch criminal,
00:41:55that he's behind the whole thing.
00:41:57You're absolutely right, Watson.
00:41:59Except for one thing.
00:42:00What, I'm wrong?
00:42:02Have you observed that a highly secret military plan
00:42:04is thwarted by each of these disasters?
00:42:06Yes, I have.
00:42:07Now that you mention it.
00:42:08Watson, there's a leak.
00:42:10A leak?
00:42:12You mean in the council?
00:42:14But Holmes, that's impossible.
00:42:16Anything is possible until proved otherwise.
00:42:19See here in the council.
00:42:21Lawford and Shaw, they're about suspicion.
00:42:23Their record proves that.
00:42:25Anyhow, they were attacked.
00:42:27Unsuccessfully.
00:42:29Prentice, did he kill his own son?
00:42:31Doesn't seem likely.
00:42:33And yet the boy is dead.
00:42:35Byron, of course, brought you into the case.
00:42:36So it's quite obvious that he wants it solved.
00:42:38Most patriotic of servant Byron.
00:42:40He's a great fellow.
00:42:42Paid wing three quarter for the school my last term
00:42:44so I can vouch for him.
00:42:46Besides, he was attacked too, shot at.
00:42:48So I gather.
00:42:50How about Lloyd?
00:42:52Can't be him.
00:42:54Meade was going to kill him as well as us.
00:42:56By the way, he's a brave fellow, Lloyd.
00:42:58Did you notice that he didn't turn a hair?
00:43:01Very composed.
00:43:03Come in.
00:43:04Mr. Holmes.
00:43:06Yes, Kitty.
00:43:08I think now we'll be able to get some information from Mr. Meade.
00:43:10Your plan worked like a charm.
00:43:12I knew you could do it.
00:43:14It's not so hard once your mind's made up.
00:43:16And mine is.
00:43:18You'll be careful.
00:43:20She better be.
00:43:22She's mixed up with that fellow.
00:43:24I'll be careful, all right.
00:43:26I'm going through with this.
00:43:28Good girl.
00:43:30I heard him talking on the phone today.
00:43:32Yes?
00:43:34There's not a moment to lose.
00:43:39If I find out that Meade did kill Gavin, I'll...
00:43:42If so, he'll be punished.
00:43:44I warned you no one was safe with that fellow at large.
00:43:46Now he's off to Burham.
00:43:48Yes, I only hope we're in time.
00:43:50Come along, Kitty.
00:43:52I'll get you a taxi.
00:43:54Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:43:56Do you think you ought to go out alone, sir?
00:43:58Worrying about that escaped German agent, huh?
00:44:00The threat was to kill the entire council, sir.
00:44:02Come, Smithson.
00:44:04Took bigger chances than this in the trenches.
00:44:06You've forgotten.
00:44:08I know, sir, but we were younger then.
00:44:10And the Veroce's thing is nazis.
00:44:13I'm ready for him.
00:44:15I understand, sir.
00:44:19I'm going to get a taxi.
00:44:21All right.
00:44:22Thank you, sir.
00:44:45You've driven to heaven down here before, of course, Miss Grandis.
00:44:48Quite often.
00:44:50He comes down whenever he can.
00:44:52It's an exciting occasion here.
00:44:54Yes, it's so very quiet here.
00:44:57Quiet and remote.
00:44:59Away from everyone.
00:45:11Yes?
00:45:13Oh, Miss Jill.
00:45:15It's all right, Smithson.
00:45:17Where's Sir Evans?
00:45:19On his rounds, Miss.
00:45:20All right.
00:45:31Hello there, Barham.
00:45:40Holmes.
00:45:42What on earth are you doing out here?
00:45:44I've been worried about you.
00:45:46Yes?
00:45:48That fellow Mead appears to be in the neighborhood.
00:45:50Not at all.
00:45:52I'd appreciate the company.
00:45:54You know, it gets quite lonesome, especially on a night like this.
00:45:57By the way,
00:45:59do you feel you're getting any nearer solution of this terrible business?
00:46:02Yes, yes. The end is in sight.
00:46:04Really?
00:46:06What would you mind telling me?
00:46:08Listen.
00:46:10Air raid sirens.
00:46:12Coming our way.
00:46:14Yes.
00:46:16I don't seem to hear any planes.
00:46:18Wait a minute.
00:46:21Look.
00:46:23There's one. She's coming right over.
00:46:43There she is.
00:46:45There's Holmes.
00:46:47She's coming in for a landing.
00:46:51The swine.
00:46:53That's the pickup plane.
00:46:55The voice must be here, close by.
00:46:57Then we've got him.
00:46:59Barham!
00:47:01Be careful!
00:47:16I can't understand you, Holmes.
00:47:18Why didn't you help me?
00:47:20We almost had him.
00:47:21You're too impatient, Barham.
00:47:22My patience is exhausted.
00:47:24This has got to stop.
00:47:25I thought you resolved the whole thing long before this.
00:47:27What happened?
00:47:28Is that a Nazi plane?
00:47:29Yes, I saw the filthy swastika myself.
00:47:31Great Scott.
00:47:32I took a shot at him, but he got away.
00:47:34Me, he'd also get away.
00:47:35Well, I'd better go and report this.
00:47:36No, go with him. Come along, Watson.
00:47:37You needn't bother. I can take care of myself.
00:47:39My dear fellow, there's no use taking chances.
00:47:41I'm afraid you're a marked man as long as meters at large.
00:47:43Come on.
00:47:51Well.
00:47:53You're a fine one leaving me alone half the night.
00:47:55Do you think I like it?
00:47:57I'm going to go out and have some fun.
00:47:59Don't bother me.
00:48:01I said you were going to let me work with you.
00:48:03Someday you'll come back and I won't be here.
00:48:05Where would you go?
00:48:08What's my business?
00:48:11Maybe you'll be waiting here next time and I won't come back.
00:48:15Don't talk like that.
00:48:16I'm sorry, Kitty.
00:48:19You seem sort of different lately.
00:48:22Anything the matter?
00:48:24Maybe the next time you see me,
00:48:26I'll be in a position of authority, of power.
00:48:28No longer hiding in the dark.
00:48:30Giving the orders, not taking them.
00:48:33What do you say to that?
00:48:37You're drunk.
00:48:39Drunk?
00:48:41Yes.
00:48:43I'm drunk.
00:48:45Yes.
00:48:48When I was a boy, I dreamed a dream.
00:48:51I was dressed in armor.
00:48:53Shining, blue-gray armor.
00:48:56I rode on a horse through the streets
00:48:58where the people cheered,
00:49:00hailing me.
00:49:05I rode over the bodies of underlings
00:49:08prostrated before me.
00:49:12Their blood ran out along the gutters
00:49:14like a river.
00:49:20What if this was no dream?
00:49:24What if it was prophecy?
00:49:27What if all this comes to pass?
00:49:31Well,
00:49:33something must have happened to you.
00:49:38Yes, Kitty.
00:49:40Something that you're going to share with me.
00:49:44Get your coat. Hurry.
00:50:01Right you. Got plenty of petrol?
00:50:03No. Start driving.
00:50:15Where's Holmes?
00:50:17He'll be here, I'm sure.
00:50:19It's starting now.
00:50:21Here he is.
00:50:23You're almost late.
00:50:25I had to go to Downing Street.
00:50:27Good evening.
00:50:29Good evening.
00:50:31Good evening.
00:50:33Good evening.
00:50:35Good evening.
00:50:37Good evening.
00:50:39Good evening.
00:50:41Good evening.
00:50:42I had to go to Downing Street.
00:50:44Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:50:46Your favorite broadcaster,
00:50:48the Voice of Terror,
00:50:50coming to you from Zaispoor.
00:50:52Tonight I have something special for you.
00:50:54Where are you weakest,
00:50:56you weakening people of Britain?
00:50:58Consider well.
00:51:00Is it lack of food?
00:51:02Is it your stodgy leadership?
00:51:04Faulty ammunition?
00:51:06Scarcity of shipping?
00:51:08Lack of raw materials?
00:51:10Do you know that despite all your great efforts
00:51:12you have failed?
00:51:14Especially one coast,
00:51:16and there we shall strike
00:51:18swiftly, terribly,
00:51:20tomorrow at sunrise.
00:51:22In a special broadcast of that time
00:51:24I shall describe the carnage.
00:51:26Turn it off.
00:51:29What does he mean?
00:51:31What kind of threat is this?
00:51:33Remember,
00:51:35all our reports for the last few weeks
00:51:37have indicated abnormal enemy activity
00:51:39on the coast of Norway.
00:51:40Then that's where we must concentrate
00:51:42all our forces.
00:51:44Immediately.
00:51:46They'll never bring it off now that we know.
00:51:48This time the Voice is boasting.
00:51:50Perhaps, but so far he's made good his boasts.
00:51:52What have you done to stop it?
00:51:54Shilly-shallying about while these crimes continue?
00:51:56This is the last straw.
00:51:58We must prevent this all-out attack at any cost.
00:52:00Sir Edmund's right.
00:52:02All our available resources must be rushed to meet it.
00:52:04Withdraw material from elsewhere?
00:52:06If need be, yes.
00:52:08This calls for action on lots of it.
00:52:10There's something curious about this broadcast.
00:52:12He said tomorrow.
00:52:14Always before it was now.
00:52:17I wonder what it means.
00:52:19There's no time for wonder at this point.
00:52:21Mr. Holmes, your methods have got us nowhere.
00:52:23The situation demanded action and got none.
00:52:25Mr. Lloyd, I think I know when action should be taken.
00:52:27Nevertheless, we take charge now.
00:52:29This is a crisis you can't hope to deal with.
00:52:33A man to see you, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:35Bring him in.
00:52:37Mr. Holmes, sir.
00:52:38Last night I trailed Kitty and that fellow Meade.
00:52:40Yes?
00:52:42They went to a place near a bomb village on the coast, sir.
00:52:44North?
00:52:46No, sir, south.
00:52:48South? Why didn't you come sooner?
00:52:50Motor trouble, sir. Just got back.
00:52:52All right, it can't be helped. Stand by until we need you.
00:52:54So, it's on the southern coast the drama's to be played.
00:52:57The fox is out of his hole at last.
00:52:59Meade has led us to the voice of terror.
00:53:01Gentlemen, we must set out at once.
00:53:03Are you mad?
00:53:05What sort of a wild goose chase are you suggesting?
00:53:06It's ridiculous.
00:53:08It's time to put a stop to this.
00:53:12Barham speaking.
00:53:17Yes, of course.
00:53:20We've been ordered to accompany Mr. Holmes.
00:53:36We've been ordered to accompany Mr. Holmes.
00:54:07Major Harrison.
00:54:09Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:54:11Good evening, sir.
00:54:13All the arrangements have been made.
00:54:15Splendid.
00:54:17That church up there?
00:54:20Yes, sir.
00:54:22All right. Let's go, gentlemen.
00:54:37Von Bock seems to be delayed.
00:54:39He'll be here, never fear.
00:54:41You all understand your objectives.
00:54:46Sheila.
00:54:48Sheila!
00:54:50Yes, sir.
00:54:52You understand what you are to do?
00:54:54Yes, sir. I'm going with the first contingent to Liverpool.
00:54:57Your men are waiting there, organized to take control?
00:54:59They have been ready and waiting for weeks.
00:55:01I'm going with the first contingent to Liverpool.
00:55:03I'm going with the first contingent to Liverpool.
00:55:04They have been ready and waiting for weeks.
00:55:06What was that?
00:55:14When the world is changing, it is natural to be on edge.
00:55:17Merely owls, perhaps wood rats?
00:55:19No. It sounded like...
00:55:21Sheila.
00:55:23Yes, sir.
00:55:25Go on.
00:55:27City of Croydon and Croydon Airport. All is prepared.
00:55:29You go.
00:55:31Where I used to slave in the factories, but not anymore.
00:55:34The day has come at last.
00:55:45Line them up over there.
00:56:00Mr. Holmes.
00:56:02I was afraid you'd be too late.
00:56:04I'm glad you're safe, Kitty. Come along, sit down.
00:56:19Gentlemen.
00:56:21When Mr. Meade and I last met, he wished he could put us on trial.
00:56:24Mr. Lloyd, Dr. Watson and myself.
00:56:28Now, Meade, you are on trial.
00:56:31First, let me tell you why you have met here.
00:56:33The vague but canny threat against our northeastern coast was a blind.
00:56:37Your group was congregated here to receive an invasion army proceeding across the channel.
00:56:41What? Invasion?
00:56:43All those men rushed for defense to the north.
00:56:45I can't believe it.
00:56:53At the head of this mighty force,
00:56:55the victim chosen,
00:56:56the faithful were to proceed to various centers of our country and take up positions of authority.
00:57:00And we shall. Do you understand that?
00:57:02Unfortunately for you, that is not to be.
00:57:04We're held, yes.
00:57:06But the invasion will proceed without us.
00:57:08Why don't we do it now?
00:57:10Please be patient.
00:57:12You called me in on this case
00:57:14to identify and to silence the voice of terror
00:57:16and to circumvent the unknown plan behind it.
00:57:18That undertaking is still in progress.
00:57:21But we are rapidly drawing to a conclusion.
00:57:23Gentlemen,
00:57:25the voice of terror is here with you in this church.
00:57:28What?
00:57:30Are you referring to Meade?
00:57:32Why, who is it?
00:57:34Meade was my one sure connection with the voice of terror.
00:57:36At the warehouse, I allowed him to escape
00:57:38and assigned Kitty here to trail him.
00:57:40When I learned through Kitty's abduction
00:57:42that Meade had come down here
00:57:44to meet with a group of men,
00:57:46I asked myself why.
00:57:48Why a deserted fishing village on the channel
00:57:49when Scotland was to be the next scene of disaster?
00:57:52And why was it necessary
00:57:54to withdraw great stores of ordnance and material
00:57:56for the protection of Scotland?
00:57:58It was a ruse, gentlemen,
00:58:00to leave this coast unprotected.
00:58:02A ruse devised by the voice of terror.
00:58:04I, uh,
00:58:06I knew quite early, of course,
00:58:08that the voice was a member of your august body.
00:58:11You dare to insinuate that one of us...
00:58:13If this is meant to be humor,
00:58:15it's very ill-timed.
00:58:17German agents knew I was a member
00:58:19when I was on the case
00:58:21the very night I was called in.
00:58:23How did they know this secret?
00:58:25One of your council informed them.
00:58:28There were attempts made on the lives of all of us,
00:58:31but the attempt made on the life of one of your members
00:58:33was entirely unsubstantiated,
00:58:35resting on his word alone.
00:58:37One member whom I went to the country
00:58:39ostensibly to protect, actually to surprise,
00:58:41this member fired on the Nazi pickup plane,
00:58:43not in rage, as he pretended,
00:58:45but to warn and frighten it away.
00:58:47That was very clever of you, Sir Evan.
00:58:51Sir Evan?
00:58:53I can't believe it.
00:58:55Sir Evan couldn't be implicated in a thing like this.
00:58:57What's Sir Evan got to say?
00:58:59Let me congratulate you, Mr. Holmes.
00:59:02You admit this outrageous accusation?
00:59:04There's been treason before,
00:59:06but this is beyond belief.
00:59:08Treason is not involved.
00:59:10Sir Evan Barham is not Sir Evan Barham.
00:59:12What are you talking about?
00:59:14In March 1918,
00:59:16he was imprisoned in a German prison camp.
00:59:18There, his amazing resemblance
00:59:20to a certain Heinrich von Bork,
00:59:22a brilliant young member of the German Secret Service,
00:59:24sealed young Barham's fate.
00:59:26One morning, he was taken out and shot,
00:59:28murdered in cold blood.
00:59:30Then this man is...
00:59:32He is Heinrich von Bork,
00:59:34who has been masquerading in Barham's place
00:59:36for the past 24 years.
00:59:38You see, gentlemen, the Germans plan well in advance.
00:59:40It's incredible.
00:59:42How could a thing like this happen?
00:59:44Barham had no immediate family.
00:59:46He had only studied by von Bork,
00:59:48who was three years at Oxford
00:59:50and had a perfect knowledge of the English language
00:59:52and English habits.
00:59:54So, with possibly the help of a little plastic surgery,
00:59:56not forgetting the considerable resemblance
00:59:58to Barham in the first place,
01:00:00the deception was carried through.
01:00:02Very clever, Mr. Holmes.
01:00:04I must say, Holmes,
01:00:06this is positively amazing.
01:00:08What made you first suspect Barham?
01:00:10The real Sir Evan Barham
01:00:12carried a scarf from childhood.
01:00:14This one is about 20 years old.
01:00:16A bit significant.
01:00:18I can't believe it.
01:00:20It was Barham who insisted
01:00:22on your being brought into the case.
01:00:24A colossal piece of egocentric conceit.
01:00:26One to match your own, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:00:28Of course I brought you into the case,
01:00:30to see your weak and silly handling,
01:00:32to watch you fumble and lose it.
01:00:34Are you too stupid to realize
01:00:36that this group is but a small part of our organization?
01:00:38We have men stationed all over England,
01:00:40ready to take command.
01:00:42They never will.
01:00:44They were all taken exactly at dawn,
01:00:46in the morning.
01:00:48No, gentlemen,
01:00:50it is you who are trapped.
01:00:52Listen.
01:00:55Even now our Messerschmitts are roaring overhead,
01:00:57the vanguard of the invasion.
01:00:59Why are they not routed?
01:01:01Where are our boasted anti-aircraft guns?
01:01:03They are silent.
01:01:05Our little ruse was entirely successful.
01:01:07The coast has been stripped of its defenses.
01:01:09Preserve your vaunted British vanity
01:01:11as best you may,
01:01:13in this your hour of most humiliating defeat.
01:01:15You have not captured us, my friend.
01:01:17We have annihilated you.
01:01:19Do you really think us so blind
01:01:21that we would strip this coast of defenses
01:01:23because of a voice on a phonograph record?
01:01:25The council was deliberately misinformed
01:01:27about moving the defense forces.
01:01:29You are trying to save your face.
01:01:31Look, if you think I'm lying.
01:01:37Those are not Messerschmitts.
01:01:39They are Spitfires and Hurricanes
01:01:41returning from blasting your invasion forces.
01:01:42Destroying men and barges with a thousand.
01:01:44Look further on board, look below.
01:01:48Commandos, tanks,
01:01:50slipping away now that your invasion force
01:01:52has been destroyed.
01:01:54Bring ruin and terror to your people.
01:02:02I wonder if there's anything on the wireless about this.
01:02:09The BBC.
01:02:10We are frightfully sorry to announce
01:02:12that a special broadcast
01:02:14of the voice of terror
01:02:16will have to be delayed indefinitely.
01:02:19A threat against our northern coasts
01:02:21made only as a blind
01:02:23to cover the enemy's invasion plans
01:02:25has not been fulfilled.
01:02:27Instead, our victorious planes
01:02:29have blasted invasion bases on the continent
01:02:31destroying enormous stores
01:02:33of materiel and troops.
01:02:35More news of this triumphant victory tomorrow.
01:02:37At the same time,
01:02:38the scattered Nazi agents
01:02:40all over the Commonwealth
01:02:42have been unceremoniously
01:02:44clapped into prison.
01:02:46That is all.
01:03:05This girl merits our deepest gratitude.
01:03:06Our country is honoured
01:03:08in having had such loyalty and devotion.
01:03:10We'll remember.
01:03:13Holmes,
01:03:15I don't know how we'll ever thank her.
01:03:17Don't try it, it isn't necessary.
01:03:22I'll be with you in a minute, Holmes.
01:03:24I'll just see that she's taken care of.
01:03:37I always did think that chap was an imposter.
01:03:39Byron was a good fellow.
01:03:41Played wing three quarter for the school.
01:03:54What a lovely morning, Holmes.
01:03:58There's an east wind coming, Watson.
01:04:00No, I don't think so.
01:04:02Looks like another warm day.
01:04:04Good old Watson.
01:04:07The one fixed point in a changing age.
01:04:11There's an east wind coming all the same.
01:04:14Such a wind has never blew on England yet.
01:04:17It will be cold and bitter, Watson.
01:04:20And a good many of us may wither before its blast.
01:04:24But it's God's own wind, nonetheless.
01:04:26And a greener, better, stronger land
01:04:28that will lie in the sunshine.
01:04:29when the storm is cleared.
01:04:59THE END
