00:03:52THE END
00:03:53I want Mr. Sherlock Holmes to come here.
00:03:55What? Sherlock Holmes?
00:03:57This isn't the case for a private detective. It's a matter of state.
00:04:00In this emergency, we should take advantage of everyone's peculiar gifts.
00:04:04Mr. Holmes is the most subtle and extraordinary private investigator of our time.
00:04:08Are you intimating that the Army and Navy Intelligence plus Scott and the IR
00:04:11are not equal to the occasion, Sir Evan?
00:04:13I'm sure they're equal to any occasion.
00:04:15They've done a marvellous job of lining up fifth colonists, saboteurs
00:04:18and keeping us informed of the enemy's movements.
00:04:20But the voice of terror seems to have them stumped.
00:04:23Sherlock Holmes may have a new approach that will solve the problem.
00:04:26What's happened inside these wars has always been secret.
00:04:29We don't want any outsiders here.
00:04:31I'm positively and irrevocably opposed to calling in Sherlock Holmes.
00:04:36Perhaps you'll change your mind.
00:04:38I see nothing whatever to make me do so.
00:04:40Prentiss is right.
00:04:42For ordinary criminal investigation, Holmes is excellent, but not for this.
00:04:45He's unorthodox and theatrical. I can tell you all about him.
00:04:48Gentlemen, perhaps I can throw some light on the subject myself.
00:04:53Holmes! How are you? So good of you to come.
00:04:56Good afternoon, Sir Evan. Your card opened all doors.
00:04:59Oh, blouser!
00:05:02You've put on a little weight since you left school.
00:05:05You don't look any younger yourself, Dimples. How are you?
00:05:08Fine. Come in, won't you?
00:05:10You know these gentlemen?
00:05:12I think so. How do you do?
00:05:14I haven't had that pleasure.
00:05:16May I introduce my friend and associate, Dr. Watson?
00:05:19How do you do?
00:05:21I'm afraid I've arrived at an embarrassing moment.
00:05:25Not at all.
00:05:27This gentleman here.
00:05:28Admiral Sir John Prentiss.
00:05:30Admiral Prentiss objects most strongly to my being called in.
00:05:33How could you possibly infer that?
00:05:35From the carpet.
00:05:36Carpet?
00:05:37A man who rises from his chair
00:05:39and digs his heels sternly into the carpet
00:05:41is violently opposed to something,
00:05:42and the Admiral, being quite distressed by the criticisms of the press,
00:05:45would be most apt to resent my intrusion.
00:05:47Well, you've just arrived from Sevenoaks.
00:05:50Yes, of course. I...
00:05:52How on earth did you know that?
00:05:54I don't know how hard my mentioning it,
00:05:55but, uh, adhering to your left boot,
00:05:56here was a variety of play known only in Sevenoaks.
00:06:01An amazing piece of deduction.
00:06:03Well, elementary, my dear Baron.
00:06:05Here's a broadcast of the Voice of Terror.
00:06:14Greetings from the Third Reich.
00:06:16Are you listening, stout fellows across the channel?
00:06:18Are you listening,
00:06:19you little body of incompetent men known as the Inner Council?
00:06:22Today, a new thrill, a new proof of the invincibility of the Fuhrer.
00:06:26Right now, a crack express train,
00:06:28laden with British troops and nurses,
00:06:30is speeding across England.
00:06:31In just one moment, it will leave the rails forever.
00:06:34Crashing, twisted metal, the cries of the dying...
00:06:36They can't. They wouldn't dare.
00:06:38It's impossible. They couldn't have got on him.
00:06:39The men are laughing, joking.
00:06:41That one in the third car reads a letter from home.
00:06:43It is the last letter he will ever receive.
00:06:45The train is rounding a curve.
00:06:47Its whistle is screaming.
00:06:48Farewell, it is saying. Farewell.
00:06:52You have just heard an exact reproduction of the way it sounds.
00:06:56The way it must actually be.
00:06:59The hearts of the German people bleed
00:07:02that innocent men and women have to be killed
00:07:04because your stupid war man...
00:07:06Sure, speaking.
00:07:07Have you any news of the Liverpool Express?
00:07:09You have no time again offered in peace.
00:07:11But if your blundering war cabinet
00:07:12cannot see that England is already lost,
00:07:14then it is our sacred German duty to prove it to them
00:07:17over and over and over
00:07:19until they are on their knees,
00:07:21begging, pleading, grovelling
00:07:23for the exquisite mercy of our Fuhrer.
00:07:25Each night, the voice of terror will announce...
00:07:27Shut it off.
00:07:28Stop it.
00:07:29Stop it.
00:07:30Even as you listen.
00:07:32And you...
00:07:35I'm sorry.
00:07:38Do what you can, Holmes.
00:07:39This frightful thing has got to be stopped.
00:07:44His son was on that train.
00:07:49How did they find out about the truce?
00:07:51It was an absolute secret.
00:07:53Gentlemen,
00:07:54something must be done about this thing at once.
00:07:56Yes.
00:07:57First of all then,
00:07:58the voice must not be blocked off the air.
00:08:00But he's a menace.
00:08:01All over the Empire,
00:08:02this horrible news is broadcast,
00:08:04blown up out of all proportions.
00:08:06The world is beginning to believe it.
00:08:08Even our allies are counting England out.
00:08:11People are frightened, panicky.
00:08:13The British people are not so easily panicked.
00:08:15It's dangerous, I tell you, to let this thing go on.
00:08:17Dangerous, yes, Captain Shaw.
00:08:18But we must continue to listen.
00:08:20What for?
00:08:21So that we can keep on guessing who it is?
00:08:23His identity is not important.
00:08:26The important thing is
00:08:28the purpose behind this campaign of terror.
00:08:30Purpose, indeed.
00:08:32Isn't it enough that our most secret plans are known?
00:08:34Our ships are being destroyed.
00:08:35Our trains wrecked.
00:08:38I'm convinced that these disasters are only a prelude.
00:08:41A smokescreen
00:08:43to cover up a more diabolic plan.
00:08:45And I intend to find out what that plan is.
00:08:47This council and Scotland Yard
00:08:49will give you all the aid you require.
00:08:52Gentlemen, my connection with this case
00:08:54must remain absolutely secret.
00:08:56You understand that, of course?
00:08:57Why, certainly.
00:08:58You will let the council know, at all times,
00:09:01just what you are doing.
00:09:02I shall give you such information as I think wise to disclose
00:09:05in the interests of safety, both the public's and your own.
00:09:08The inner council has never shared its secrets with anyone.
00:09:12I demand that you keep us informed
00:09:14of your activities and progress.
00:09:17Come along, Watson.
00:09:21Mr. Holmes.
00:09:23I want to apologize for your rather lukewarm reception here.
00:09:26Thank you, Sir Evan.
00:09:27I'm used to the chilly atmosphere of high places.
00:09:29Of course, you recognize the importance of time.
00:09:32Quite.
00:09:33And results.
00:09:34Mr. Lloyd.
00:09:35I'm quite sure that Mr. Holmes can be trusted not to fail.
00:09:38He never has, you know.
00:09:39Thank you, Watson.
00:09:40The word is seldom.
00:09:42Goodbye, Sir Evan.
00:09:43Goodbye, sir.
00:09:44Goodbye, Byram.
00:09:45Goodbye, Watson.
00:09:46Well, shall we walk for a bit or take a taxi?
00:09:48I'm afraid we have no choice.
00:09:50Huh?
00:09:51No, Watson.
00:09:52I have a feeling that when we go out of that door, a girl will be waiting.
00:09:56A girl?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:09:58A young lady whom neither of us has ever seen before will come forward to greet us.
00:10:01Holmes, now you're pulling my leg here.
00:10:08Mr. Holmes, I'm Joe Grandis.
00:10:09How do you do?
00:10:10This is my friend, Dr. Watson.
00:10:11How do you do?
00:10:12How do you do?
00:10:13I've been assigned to drive you around.
00:10:15Good gracious me.
00:10:16Where do you wish to go?
00:10:17Baker Street.
00:10:18I know.
00:10:19221B.
00:10:20Come along, Watson.
00:10:21Holmes.
00:10:22Holmes.
00:10:23The girl waiting.
00:10:24What an extraordinary thing.
00:10:25Elementary, my dear Watson.
00:10:26No, no, no.
00:10:27It's an amazing deduction.
00:10:28How on earth did you arrive at it?
00:10:29Barham told me.
00:10:30What?
00:10:31Oh.
00:10:32Oh.
00:10:33Oh.
00:10:34Don't you worry, Mrs. Hudson.
00:10:35Just giving her a bit of a clean now we're on a case.
00:10:36Oh.
00:10:37Oh.
00:10:38Now we're on a case again.
00:10:39The joints are a bit rough.
00:10:40Oh.
00:10:41Oh.
00:10:42a bit rusty like mine, you know.
00:10:43Is he back in a case again?
00:10:44Oh.
00:10:45Oh.
00:10:46Oh.
00:10:47Oh.
00:10:48Don't you worry, Mrs. Hudson.
00:10:49Just giving her a bit of a clean now we're on a case again.
00:11:06Oh.
00:11:07The joints are a bit rusty like mine, you know.
00:11:09Is he back in a case again?
00:11:12Case?
00:11:13The greatest case of his, of our career.
00:11:15Oh.
00:11:16Merci.
00:11:17Please.
00:11:18Oh.
00:11:19Holmes.
00:11:20I say, Holmes.
00:11:21Why?
00:11:22It's all right.
00:11:23Only if you ask me it's disgraceful.
00:11:24Let's see.
00:11:25Oh.
00:11:26Oh.
00:11:27That's a lovely sight.
00:11:28It's good for you.
00:11:29Hines.
00:11:30Holmes.
00:11:31You, sir?
00:11:32Holmes.
00:11:33I say, Holmes.
00:11:34What.
00:11:35It's all right?
00:11:36Well, if you ask me it's disgraceful.
00:11:38Head opens first?
00:11:39Not at all.
00:11:40It's very good.
00:11:41Sir Ronald Hedley's conducting very well tonight.
00:11:42He's doing it.
00:11:43Mr. Holmes.
00:11:44Sir Ronald Hedley is conducting very well tonight.
00:11:47I don't mean the concert.
00:11:49No?
00:11:50England's in danger.
00:11:51Heaven knows what frightful disaster is happening.
00:11:53You sit there calmly listening to the wireless.
00:11:56Music hath charms. Very restful.
00:11:58That's got nothing to do with the whole...
00:11:59Contrary, my dear Watson, it may have a great deal to do with it.
00:12:02Oh, really? I don't see what?
00:12:05BBC Request Station. This is Sherlock Holmes.
00:12:15I understand you play recordings.
00:12:17Would you mind playing Beethoven's Fifth, conducted by Sir Ronald Hedley?
00:12:21Thank you very much.
00:12:22But you just heard it.
00:12:23I like it.
00:12:24Oh?
00:12:32We've had a request for the Beethoven Fifth Symphony...
00:12:35played by the London Symphony Orchestra...
00:12:37under the direction of Sir Ronald Hedley.
00:12:39This is a transcription.
00:12:54Sir Holmes, what's all about?
00:12:55Hmm?
00:12:56I say, Holmes, I don't...
00:12:57to...
00:12:58to...
00:12:59to...
00:13:00to...
00:13:19Holmes, what's all about?
00:13:21Hmm?
00:13:22I say, Holmes, I don't...
00:13:23to...
00:13:24Shh!
00:13:47Mr. Holmes.
00:13:48Yes, Gavin?
00:13:49I...
00:13:50I...
00:13:51Christopher...
00:13:56Dead?
00:13:59Yes.
00:14:03It's been driven in with a lot of force.
00:14:06Watson, this is a warning.
00:14:11Warning?
00:14:12How do you know?
00:14:14I had sent for Gavin to get certain information...
00:14:16that you must have found...
00:14:18there in the dark and sinister alleys of Limehouse.
00:14:22He came with his message...
00:14:23which someone doesn't want me to hear.
00:14:25Someone determined...
00:14:26and dangerous.
00:14:27But what's the good of a warning of danger?
00:14:29When you know from what or from whom?
00:14:31That we shall have to discover.
00:14:32This knife was thrown by the tip...
00:14:34from a distance of about 50 feet...
00:14:36by a man about 5 foot 10.
00:14:37Sterling Holmes.
00:14:38Elementary.
00:14:39No fingerprints.
00:14:40But the distance?
00:14:41And the man's height?
00:14:42The angle of entry...
00:14:43and the force with which he penetrated the victim.
00:14:46But Holmes...
00:14:47what do you suppose he meant when he said Christopher?
00:14:49We must find out at once.
00:14:50Come on, Watson.
00:14:51Huh?
00:14:55Come in.
00:14:56Oh, Mr. Holmes, I saw a fellow lurking about your steps...
00:15:00and I...
00:15:01Blimey, he won't lurk no more.
00:15:03From the yard.
00:15:04Take care of it, Dobson.
00:15:05Very good, sir.
00:15:06How do you do that?
00:15:07Having time now.
00:15:08Get your coat on, Watson.
00:15:09We're going out.
00:15:12No, no, no, no.
00:15:13Holmes, you promised.
00:15:15Huh.
00:15:16Where are we going?
00:15:17Limehouse.
00:15:26It's all over...
00:15:45It's certainly wise if you'd let Miss Grandis go.
00:15:48There's no place for a girl or anyone else.
00:15:50Yeah, there seemed people to be about.
00:15:56Even Miss Grandis.
00:16:08If I'm not mistaken, she's keeping an eye on us.
00:16:10You're Mr. Sherlock Holmes, ain't ya?
00:16:13Yes.
00:16:14I wouldn't come down here if I was you.
00:16:17This is Limehouse,
00:16:18and we don't fancy your sort of bloke in these parts.
00:16:22The fellow's absolutely right. Hadn't we better be...
00:16:23Bart Watson, this is still a free country.
00:16:26A man may walk till he pleases.
00:16:28And live to regret it.
00:16:30Live, yes. Regret it, I think not.
00:16:33Step back.
00:16:35Come on, Watson.
00:16:38Unfairly, what?
00:16:39The speaker break.
00:16:40What was that, Holmes?
00:16:56It's all right, quiet.
00:16:57I can't see a thing.
00:16:59Luckily for us, neither can they.
00:17:14Apparently the enemy has found out that we joined forces with the government.
00:17:16What makes you think that?
00:17:17What makes you think that?
00:17:21This knife, like the knife which killed Gavin, was thrown by a former obituary of the Box of Hamburg.
00:17:26It's a German knife.
00:17:28The knife throwers of Hamburg are extremely expert.
00:17:30Mr. Holmes, can't we come back in the daytime?
00:17:32Certainly not.
00:17:33I don't think we're safe.
00:17:34No one in the world is safe now, Watson.
00:17:36Least of all us.
00:17:38What is it, Colonel Brady?
00:18:03Don't tell me that you don't recognize me.
00:18:08Mr. Sherlock Holmes!
00:18:11I got a specially ugly lot here tonight.
00:18:14Not like my chances.
00:18:15I can't keep you up, Mr. Holmes, but...
00:18:33Where's the girl Kitty?
00:18:44Gavin's sweetheart.
00:18:45His wife.
00:18:46Can you get her?
00:18:47It's urgent.
00:18:48Try.
00:18:51Holmes, I don't think I like this place much.
00:19:03Well, just sit here, if you don't mind.
00:19:17I think you'll recognize me, Mr. Holmes, if you look hard enough.
00:19:21Camberwell.
00:19:22You've got a long memory.
00:19:24Like me.
00:19:25Tarleton murder, 1932.
00:19:27Of course, I sent you up.
00:19:28Mr. Holmes, don't you think we'd better be...
00:19:30Store you, Gab.
00:19:32For ten long years, I've been sitting down there in Dartmoor.
00:19:36For the old ten years, one thing's been preying on me mind.
00:19:39Only one?
00:19:40Just one.
00:19:41Someday I'll be getting out of here, I kept saying to myself.
00:19:44And when I do, someday I'm going to come face to face with Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:19:49Now you are.
00:19:50And now I am.
00:19:51Just who was it told you it was me who slipped the throat of that swine Tarleton?
00:19:56I want an answer.
00:19:59You told me.
00:20:03Me?
00:20:04On the windowsill, you left four infinitesimal pieces of ash...
00:20:07...from a particularly revolting kind of tobacco that you were known to use.
00:20:11The knife blade was sharpened by a left-handed man.
00:20:13You signed your name to the crime.
00:20:15So that's what?
00:20:17Exactly.
00:20:18Very careless.
00:20:19Careless?
00:20:20It's criminal, I calls it.
00:20:21I ought to be shot.
00:20:22Perhaps someday you will be.
00:20:23You can put your revolver away now, Watson.
00:20:24Hmm.
00:20:25Well, Holmes, you never know.
00:20:26Where's Gavin?
00:20:27Sit down, Kitty.
00:20:28Where is he?
00:20:29You've got him into trouble.
00:20:30What have you done to him?
00:20:31Take it easy, Kitty.
00:20:32Gavin's dead.
00:20:33Dead?
00:20:34Oh, it ain't possible.
00:20:35Oh, Holmes, you never know.
00:20:36Holmes, you never know.
00:20:43Where's Gavin?
00:20:44Sit down, Kitty.
00:20:45Where is he?
00:20:46You've got him into trouble.
00:20:47What have you done to him?
00:20:48Take it easy, Kitty.
00:20:49Gavin's dead.
00:20:50Dead?
00:20:51Oh, it ain't possible.
00:21:04I was with him only two hours ago.
00:21:05You're trying to frighten me.
00:21:06No, I'm not, Kitty.
00:21:07It's you.
00:21:08You killed him.
00:21:09I warned him to stay away from you.
00:21:11I knew you'd do him in.
00:21:12I had nothing to do with it, Kitty.
00:21:13Well, who did not do?
00:21:15I didn't.
00:21:16I had nothing to do with it, Kitty.
00:21:17Who did not do him in?
00:21:18I had nothing to do with it, Kitty.
00:21:20Well, who did then? Who did?
00:21:23He was knifed on my doorstep.
00:21:37I'm sorry.
00:21:39I'm deeply in his debt.
00:21:43Before he died, he said one word.
00:21:45Christopher.
00:21:52You know what it means?
00:21:54I've got to know.
00:21:56What's that to mean?
00:21:58You want to avenge Gavin's death, don't you?
00:22:00I don't want nothing to do with it nor with you.
00:22:03I never had any dealings with the police and I won't start now.
00:22:06I'm not asking this for myself.
00:22:08Our country, England, is at stake.
00:22:15Gavin was killed not by his own enemies nor even mine,
00:22:18but by the enemies of England.
00:22:22So that's it?
00:22:23Yes, Kitty.
00:22:24The Nazis killed him.
00:22:26Help me to find out what Christopher means.
00:22:29And I promise the man who murdered Gavin shall pay for it.
00:22:32Think, Kitty.
00:22:35The cutthroats of the world menace us all.
00:22:38You can help stop this savagery.
00:22:41Yes, you, Kitty.
00:22:42If we take the police weeks, months perhaps,
00:22:45to find out a certain piece of information we must have.
00:22:48That's not so with you and your friends.
00:22:50You know every nook and corner of London.
00:22:53Get them to help us.
00:22:55We need their help.
00:22:57Your friends will become an army.
00:22:59Do you understand?
00:23:01Secret, invisible and mighty.
00:23:03And you will be at their head, Kitty.
00:23:05You will be their leader.
00:23:07You will be their leader.
00:23:23Brimes.
00:23:24Do you know what Christopher means?
00:23:30Dugan.
00:23:32Do you know?
00:23:34Dugan, listen to me.
00:23:35I ain't got no time to listen to you, girlie.
00:23:37But you've got to listen.
00:23:39Someone killed Gavin.
00:23:40I don't know who, but you've got to help me find out.
00:23:47All right, don't help me then.
00:23:49Cut your own throats.
00:23:50That's what you're doing.
00:23:51Help me or help the Nazis.
00:23:54Sure.
00:23:55The Nazis killed Gavin.
00:23:57They might be your friends protecting them the way you are.
00:24:00Don't you know that all the crimes they commit are being blamed on you?
00:24:03Well, they are.
00:24:04And I hope you hang for them.
00:24:06You can have them.
00:24:07As for me, I'm British.
00:24:08And I'm proud of it.
00:24:09Nobody's going to call me a Nazi and get away with it.
00:24:11Well, help me then.
00:24:12Tell me what Christopher means.
00:24:15Well, don't anybody know.
00:24:17It's got to mean something.
00:24:23Speak up if you know what it is.
00:24:24Let's have it.
00:24:25Don't mean a thing to me.
00:24:27Are you going to creep in the corners all your life?
00:24:30Are you going to sneak away at the very sight of a man like this and show him what coward you are?
00:24:34What are you afraid of?
00:24:36I'm not asking this for myself.
00:24:38England's at stake.
00:24:40You're England as much as anyone else is.
00:24:43Got no time to think about whose side we're on.
00:24:46There's only one side, England.
00:24:48No matter how high or how low we are.
00:24:51You, you, you and you.
00:24:53We're all on the same team.
00:24:55We've all got the same goal.
00:24:56Victory!
00:24:57What are you watching now?
00:24:59Right out all over London.
00:25:01But find out what Christopher means.
00:25:03We'll find out.
00:25:04No fear about that.
00:25:10Thank you, Petey.
00:25:11Well done, my dear.
00:25:16Shaw speaking.
00:25:19Yes, Miss Grandis.
00:25:20That checks with my report.
00:25:23No, Miss Grandis.
00:25:24Sir Heaven hasn't arrived yet.
00:25:27Yes, thank you.
00:25:28Miss Grandis reports that Holmes spent some time at the Air Ministry today.
00:25:32That checks with my information.
00:25:34Last night a murder and a session in Limehouse.
00:25:37I wonder what the fellow...
00:25:38He's here now.
00:25:39I don't think I need to report on my activities, gentlemen.
00:25:43You must be fairly well informed.
00:25:44We have our methods, Holmes.
00:25:46It only remains for you to show what's been accomplished.
00:25:48All in good time, Mr. Lloyd.
00:25:49Good evening, gentlemen.
00:25:51Good evening, Sir Everton.
00:25:53What's the matter? You look pale.
00:25:54Oh, it's nothing. I...
00:25:56Pardon, your hand.
00:25:57Let's have a look at it, Durham.
00:25:58Oh, it's really nothing. Just an accident.
00:26:00What sort of an accident?
00:26:01Some fellow took a shot at me, just as I was leaving the house.
00:26:04Took a shot at you?
00:26:05It's only a scratch.
00:26:06Ugly thing to happen.
00:26:08Have you any idea who it was?
00:26:10No, I haven't.
00:26:11He popped up out of the bushes, just as I was getting into my car.
00:26:14Fired once, then disappeared.
00:26:16What do you make of it, Watson?
00:26:17Bullet wound.
00:26:18Congratulations.
00:26:19This is a matter for the police.
00:26:20Oh, no, no, please.
00:26:21I can never identify him.
00:26:22Let's forget it.
00:26:23Captain Shaw.
00:26:24People of Britain, greetings.
00:26:25Is it shock you need?
00:26:26Very well.
00:26:27We Nazis can produce them till Britain's proud head is in the dust where it belongs.
00:26:31People of London, look out of your windows.
00:26:33You will see your promised disaster written across the skies.
00:26:37Uh, Lawford, turn out the lights, please.
00:26:38Look to the East India docks.
00:26:39Are you alert, number 20?
00:26:40Look, Britain, look and wonder and despair.
00:26:44We Nazis keep our promises.
00:26:45Is it shock you need?
00:26:46The shock you need?
00:26:47Very well.
00:26:48We Nazis can produce them till Britain's proud head is in the dust where it belongs.
00:26:51People of London, look out of your windows.
00:26:52You will see your promised disaster written across the skies.
00:26:54Uh, Lawford, turn out the lights, please.
00:26:55Look to the East India docks.
00:26:56Are you alert, number 20?
00:26:58Look, Britain, look and wonder and despair.
00:27:02We Nazis keep our promises.
00:27:05There's a terrible fire in East End.
00:27:08The concentration of men and supplies.
00:27:10American bombers, tanks, gone.
00:27:13Destroyed utterly.
00:27:15The flames are mounting, higher and higher and higher.
00:27:18Now the glare must be visible even to the short sighted leaders of your bewildered government.
00:27:24Mark well the towering fires.
00:27:27They consume your new planes from America.
00:27:30Your meager store of tanks.
00:27:32Your puny munitions.
00:27:33And your food.
00:27:35Planes that were your only defense against our all-powerful Luftwaffe.
00:27:39Tanks and munitions that you prayed would hold against the magnificent 50-ton German land monsters.
00:27:45Which will soon be crashing through your very houses.
00:27:48Food.
00:27:49Turn it off.
00:27:50Just keep eating it more so as you can-
00:27:51Turn it off.
00:27:52Turn it off.
00:27:53Turn it off.
00:27:54Turn it off.
00:27:55Turn it off.
00:27:56Turn it off.
00:27:57Turn it off.
00:27:58Turn it off.
00:27:59Turn it off.
00:28:00Turn it off.
00:28:01Turn it off.
00:28:02Turn it off.
00:28:03Turn it off.
00:28:04Turn it off.
00:28:05Turn it off.
00:28:06Turn it off.
00:28:07Turn it off.
00:28:08Turn it off.
00:28:09Turn it off.
00:28:10Turn it off.
00:28:11Turn it off.
00:28:12Turn it off.
00:28:13Turn it off.
00:28:14Gentlemen, this is really a terrible setback.
00:28:16How do they find out our secrets?
00:28:18It's horrible, the way it's timed, the precision of it.
00:28:20It's not so precise.
00:28:22Almost precise.
00:28:23What do you mean?
00:28:24I should call it exact.
00:28:25No.
00:28:26The fires actually broke out sometime before the voice called to his operative in London.
00:28:31Joe, that's true.
00:28:32And last time, the train disaster.
00:28:34Captain Shaw was on the telephone immediately.
00:28:36And Scotland Yard knew all about it.
00:28:38The derailment must have occurred at least ten minutes earlier.
00:28:42That's certainly possible.
00:28:43Even so, what of it?
00:28:45No mystery, nothing supernatural.
00:28:46Just split-second planning, that's all.
00:28:48Days, perhaps weeks in advance.
00:28:50Very well figured out, Holmes.
00:28:52It gets us a step forward.
00:28:53Now, gentlemen, let's take a step even further.
00:28:56I have charted here the tonal differences between actual and transcribed broadcasts.
00:29:01Using this test, I'm convinced that the voice of terror is undoubtedly recorded and played from a record.
00:29:07What does that prove?
00:29:08It proves that the voice of terror, the man himself, is not in Germany.
00:29:12He's here, in England.
00:29:14Oh, it's impossible.
00:29:15What are you telling us, Holmes?
00:29:16It can't be.
00:29:17Our technicians insist that the broadcasts originate in Zeisberg.
00:29:20And so they do, from recordings flown to Zeisberg.
00:29:22It's impossible, Holmes.
00:29:24You can't expect anyone to believe that.
00:29:25It can't be done.
00:29:28Thanks to the Royal Air Force, I have some rather curious information.
00:29:31At irregular intervals, six Nazi bombing planes come over and drop their deadly cargoes on non-military objectives.
00:29:37A meadow or a sheepfold.
00:29:38That's nonsense.
00:29:39The Nazis aren't fools.
00:29:40They don't waste ammunition.
00:29:41Of course not.
00:29:42Then what's the purpose?
00:29:43To divert attention from the fact that a single plane breaks formation each time and disappears.
00:29:47But why?
00:29:49Gentlemen, that lone plane picks up plans, maps, secret military information, and the voice of terror's timed and recorded speech and flies them to Germany.
00:29:58I can hardly believe it.
00:29:59Sensational, if true.
00:30:00It's incredible.
00:30:01Fantastic.
00:30:05Mr. Holmes.
00:30:06Yes?
00:30:07There's a person outside asking...
00:30:09A lady?
00:30:10Um...
00:30:11Ask her to come in.
00:30:12Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:30:24Gentlemen, I must leave at once.
00:30:25Where are you going?
00:30:26That must remain a secret, even from this council.
00:30:29I object to this, Mr. Holmes.
00:30:30You're here against my wishes.
00:30:31Since you are here, I demand to know what's being done.
00:30:33As I've already told you, Mr. Lloyd, I shall report to this council at the proper time.
00:30:37And so, gentlemen, until we meet again, as I hope we will, take no unnecessary risks.
00:30:42We're all in grave danger.
00:30:43Come on, Watson.
00:30:44Coming.
00:30:45Let's go.
00:30:46All right.
00:30:47Let's go.
00:30:48Look, Mr. Holmes...
00:30:49I hate you, Mr. Holmes.
00:30:50I hate you, Mr. Holmes.
00:30:51Mr. Holmes, will you get those sorts of and manuals.
00:30:53Please, Mr. Holmes...
00:30:54We're Panthers...
00:30:55Curtain.
00:30:56Okay.
00:31:26I think we're being followed.
00:31:30Yes, I know. It's Lloyd.
00:31:32Lloyd? How do you know?
00:31:34He's so obvious about it.
00:31:40Good evening, Mr. Lloyd.
00:31:42We're going our way.
00:31:44I intend to find out what you're doing,
00:31:46even to the point of following me.
00:31:48This is our business, you know,
00:31:50as well as yours.
00:31:52All right. Come along.
00:31:54This little place.
00:31:56Hmm. Seems deserted.
00:31:58It's been deserted for years.
00:32:02Not very securely locked.
00:32:04Fortunate, isn't it?
00:32:08Oh, dear.
00:32:10Oh, dear.
00:32:12Oh, dear.
00:32:14Oh, dear.
00:32:16Oh, dear.
00:32:18Oh, dear.
00:32:20Oh, dear.
00:32:22Oh, dear.
00:32:23Oh, dear.
00:32:33Water.
00:32:34It's the river.
00:32:36This is part of the old Christopher docks.
00:32:38Never heard of them.
00:32:39Christopher?
00:32:40I say, Holmes, isn't that the word that Gavin...
00:32:41Black Watson.
00:32:42Oh, sorry.
00:32:43They're almost forgotten.
00:32:44They were built before Victoria.
00:32:53Broke.
00:32:54Whoa.
00:32:55Oh, dear.
00:32:56Oh, dear.
00:32:57Ch幸せ.
00:32:58Nope.
00:32:59I will take that door.
00:33:00Oh, dear.
00:33:02Oh, dear.
00:33:03I love the Wind well.
00:33:04Oh, dear.
00:33:05There he is.
00:33:06Whoa.
00:33:07Wow.
00:33:08Ee Jay.
00:33:09Oh, dear.
00:33:10Hi,��.
00:33:11People are darned.
00:33:12They are not athletes...
00:33:13that frankly...
00:33:14They are really vulnerable.
00:33:15Anybody like to...
00:33:15but they do not dogs can nores?
00:33:16Oh, Red.
00:33:46Good evening, gentlemen.
00:34:07I knew your curiosity would be your undoing, Mr. Holmes.
00:34:12You were expecting me then?
00:34:14Yes.
00:34:15I had hoped that the entire council might have come.
00:34:19It would have been a pleasure to deal with all of them,
00:34:21quietly and effectively.
00:34:24Eventually, they all will be taken care of.
00:34:27However, Mr. Lloyd is quite a catch
00:34:29and will have to suffice for the moment.
00:34:31What do you intend to do with us?
00:34:39Were it not that time is so pressing,
00:34:41we might first put you on trial.
00:34:43On trial for what?
00:34:44Crimes against the Third Reich.
00:34:47Misguided efforts to wreck our inevitable victory.
00:34:51Mr. Lloyd,
00:34:53your super British patriotism,
00:34:55your blundering but sometimes effective intelligence efforts
00:34:59are well known.
00:35:00We have quite a score against you,
00:35:03which will be settled.
00:35:04Dr. Watson, a fair physician, no doubt, but of no consequence.
00:35:11To our stupid British minds, every life is of consequence.
00:35:16A quaint notion of an even quainter nation.
00:35:20We are not like that.
00:35:22We know that only the powerful are worthy of respect.
00:35:27Let our record speak for us.
00:35:29Your record speaks.
00:35:31It's brilliant.
00:35:32A brilliant record of rapacity,
00:35:35cruelty, torture, deceit, and murder.
00:35:36Murder.
00:35:37Murder?
00:35:48Gesundheit.
00:35:54Cold?
00:35:55It is a little chilly in here.
00:35:57I'm sorry you're uncomfortable.
00:35:59My discomfort is of no consequence.
00:36:01Your false courage is not impressive, Mr. Holmes.
00:36:05Of course you realize that you and your friends are going to die.
00:36:09As all men must, sooner or later.
00:36:11Not later.
00:36:13Now.
00:36:13Let's go.
00:36:43Put him up and keep him up.
00:36:48Good work, boys.
00:36:49It's your pleasure, sir.
00:36:50All right, then.
00:36:51Line him up there against the wall.
00:36:52Come on.
00:36:53Back again.
00:36:54Come on.
00:36:55Get back.
00:36:56Come on.
00:36:57Get back.
00:36:58He got away.
00:37:24Oh, most unfortunate.
00:37:27I blame myself severely.
00:37:28I should think you might, Holmes.
00:37:29If you hadn't been so stupidly mysterious,
00:37:31allowed Scotland Yard to give you adequate protection,
00:37:33the man would never have escaped.
00:37:34No, he never would.
00:37:35Most regrettable.
00:37:36But...
00:37:37Gesundheit.
00:37:46Contact her!
00:37:49Contact her!
00:37:57Take your hands off your food.
00:37:58You want to bring the whole force in here?
00:38:03Take your hands off your food.
00:38:04You want to bring the whole force in here?
00:38:05Take your hands off your food.
00:38:06You want to bring the whole force in here?
00:38:10Take your hands off your food.
00:38:11Take your hands off your food.
00:38:12Take your hands off your food.
00:38:13You want to bring the whole force in here?
00:38:17Take your hands off your food.
00:38:31Please suit me.
00:38:36Oh, my God.
00:39:06So that was it, eh?
00:39:20Quite a hall.
00:39:22It's mine.
00:39:36Go ahead, your friends.
00:39:45The police are undoubtedly still out there.
00:39:59There isn't a better hideout in all London.
00:40:06I'm sorry.
00:40:26This will quiet your nerves.
00:40:36The tea's got cold again.
00:40:38You been playing anything all the afternoon?
00:40:40Fiddling while Rome burns.
00:40:44Hello, what's this?
00:40:46General J. Lawford, KCB, dear sir,
00:40:48and Captain Rogers.
00:40:50General J. Lawford, KCB, dear sir,
00:40:52and Captain Rogers,
00:40:54General J. Lawford,
00:40:56General J. Lawford,
00:40:58General J. Lawford,
00:41:00General J. Lawford,
00:41:02General J. Lawford,
00:41:04General J. Lawford, KCB, dear sir,
00:41:06and Captain Roland Shaw, MC,
00:41:08who today now escape being struck
00:41:10by a falling wall in a bombed area.
00:41:12Lawford and Shaw by a falling...
00:41:14Holmes.
00:41:16You don't think that...
00:41:18It was not an accident.
00:41:20Good heavens.
00:41:22Holmes.
00:41:24That sinister-looking fellow, what's his name?
00:41:26Meade. If only he hadn't got away.
00:41:28Yes, difficult as it was, I managed to let him escape.
00:41:30You let him escape?
00:41:32The great Scott man.
00:41:34He was about to kill us.
00:41:36He may even get.
00:41:38I don't understand you, Holmes.
00:41:40It's my theory, if this chap Meade is the arch criminal,
00:41:42that he's behind the whole thing.
00:41:44You're absolutely right, Watson.
00:41:46Except for one thing.
00:41:48Well, then I'm wrong.
00:41:50Have you observed that a highly secret military plan
00:41:52is thwarted by each of these disasters?
00:41:54Yes, I have. Now that you mention it.
00:41:56Watson, there's a leak.
00:41:58A leak? You mean in the council?
00:42:00Holmes, that's impossible.
00:42:02Anything is possible until proved otherwise.
00:42:04You see who are in the council?
00:42:06Lawford and Shaw.
00:42:08They're above suspicion.
00:42:09Their record proves that.
00:42:10Anyhow, they were attacked.
00:42:12Unsuccessfully.
00:42:14Prentiss?
00:42:15Would he kill his own son?
00:42:16Doesn't seem likely.
00:42:18And yet the boy is dead.
00:42:20Byron, of course, brought you into the case.
00:42:22So it's quite obvious that he wants it solved.
00:42:24Most patriotic of Serven Barham.
00:42:26He's a great fellow.
00:42:27Paid wing three quarter for the school my last term
00:42:29so I can vouch for him.
00:42:30Besides, he was attacked too.
00:42:32Shot at.
00:42:33So I gather.
00:42:35How about Lloyd?
00:42:37Can't be him.
00:42:39Meade was going to kill him as well as us.
00:42:41By the way, he's a brave fellow, Lloyd.
00:42:43Did you notice that he didn't turn a hair?
00:42:45Very composed.
00:42:47Come in.
00:42:50Mr. Holmes?
00:42:52Yes, Kitty?
00:42:53I think now we'll be able to get some information from Mr. Meade.
00:42:56Your plan worked like a charm.
00:42:57I knew you could do it.
00:42:58It's not so hard once your mind's made up.
00:43:00And mine is.
00:43:01You'll be careful.
00:43:02She better be.
00:43:03She's mixed up with that fellow.
00:43:04I'll be careful, all right.
00:43:06I'm going through with this.
00:43:08Good girl.
00:43:09I heard him talking on the phone today.
00:43:11Yes?
00:43:12He said, I'll take care of that little Seven Oaks matter
00:43:14at 11 tonight.
00:43:15Seven Oaks?
00:43:16Isn't that where...
00:43:18Barham has a country place.
00:43:19Watson, there's not a moment to lose.
00:43:25If I find out that Meade did kill Gavin, I'll...
00:43:27If so, he'll be punished.
00:43:29I warned you, no one was safe with that fellow at large.
00:43:31Now he's off to Barham.
00:43:32Yes, I only hope we're in time.
00:43:35Come along, Kitty.
00:43:36I'll get you a taxi.
00:43:37Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:43:46You think you ought to go out alone, sir?
00:43:51Worrying about that escaped German agent, huh?
00:43:54He threatens to kill the entire council, sir.
00:43:56Come, Smithson.
00:43:57Took bigger chances than this in the trenches.
00:43:59Have you forgotten?
00:44:00I know, sir.
00:44:01But we were younger then.
00:44:02And the religious thing is now, sir.
00:44:05I'm ready for him.
00:44:06I understand, sir.
00:44:07I understand, sir.
00:44:08You've driven to Evan down here before, of course, Miss Grandis.
00:44:33Quite often.
00:44:34He comes down whenever he can.
00:44:35He's a local air raid warden, you know.
00:44:37Makes to get away from the excitement occasionally, eh?
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:40It's so very quiet here.
00:44:42Quiet and remote.
00:44:44Away from everyone.
00:44:56Yes?
00:44:57Oh, Miss Jill.
00:44:58It's all right, Smithson.
00:44:59Where is Sir Evan?
00:45:00On his rounds, miss.
00:45:01Which way?
00:45:02Down that lane of trees, sir.
00:45:03I'll go.
00:45:04You stay here.
00:45:05You too, Watson.
00:45:06Hello there, Barham.
00:45:07Holmes.
00:45:08What on earth are you doing out here?
00:45:09I, uh...
00:45:10I've been worried about you.
00:45:11Yes?
00:45:12That fellow Meade appears to be in the neighborhood.
00:45:13Do you mind if I go along with you?
00:45:14I'd feel better about it.
00:45:15Not at all.
00:45:16I'd appreciate the company.
00:45:17You know, it gets quite lonesome, especially on a night like this.
00:45:21By the way, do you feel you're getting any nearer solution of this terrible business?
00:45:22Yes.
00:45:23Yes.
00:45:24Yes.
00:45:25The end is in sight.
00:45:26Really?
00:45:27What would you mind telling me?
00:45:28What would you mind telling me?
00:45:29Listen.
00:45:30Air rate sirens?
00:45:31Good.
00:45:32Yes.
00:45:33Good.
00:45:34What're you doing?
00:45:35I'm sorry, John.
00:45:36What are you doing out here?
00:45:37I, uh...
00:45:38I've been worried about you.
00:45:39Yes?
00:45:40That fellow Meade appears to be in the neighborhood.
00:45:41Do you mind if I go along with you?
00:45:42I'd feel better about it.
00:45:43Not at all.
00:45:44By the way, do you feel you're getting any nearer solution of this terrible business?
00:45:49Yes, yes, the end is in sight.
00:45:51Really?
00:45:52What would you mind telling me?
00:45:55Listen.
00:45:57Air rate sirens.
00:45:58Yes.
00:45:59Coming our way.
00:46:01Yes.
00:46:02I don't seem to hear any planes.
00:46:04Wait a minute.
00:46:05I can.
00:46:09Look.
00:46:10There's one. She's coming right over.
00:46:14There she is.
00:46:31Marshal Wells.
00:46:32Wells.
00:46:33Holmes.
00:46:34He's coming in for a landing.
00:46:35We're going in for a landing.
00:46:43The swine.
00:46:44That's the pick-up plane.
00:46:45The voice must be here, close by.
00:46:46Then we've got him.
00:46:48Madam, be careful.
00:47:05I can't understand you, Holmes. Why didn't you help me?
00:47:07We almost had him.
00:47:08You're too impatient, Baron.
00:47:09My patience is exhausted.
00:47:10This has got to stop.
00:47:12Thought you'd have solved the whole thing long before this.
00:47:14What happened? Was that a Nazi plane?
00:47:16Yes, I saw the filthy swastika myself.
00:47:18Great Scott.
00:47:19Took a shot at him, but he got away.
00:47:20Mead also got away.
00:47:21Well, I'd better go and report this.
00:47:23We'll go with you. Come along, Watson.
00:47:24You needn't bother. I can take care of myself.
00:47:26My dear fellow, there's no use taking chances.
00:47:28I'm afraid you're a marked man as long as Mead is at large.
00:47:30Come on.
00:47:35You're a fine one leaving me alone half the night.
00:47:40You think I like it?
00:47:42I want to go out and have some fun.
00:47:44Don't bother me.
00:47:45You said you were going to let me work with you.
00:47:47Someday you'll come back and I won't be here.
00:47:49Where would you go?
00:47:50What's my business?
00:47:52Maybe you'll be waiting here next time and I won't come back.
00:47:55Don't worry.
00:47:56Don't worry.
00:47:57Don't worry.
00:47:58Don't worry.
00:47:59Don't worry.
00:48:00Don't worry.
00:48:01Don't worry.
00:48:02Don't worry.
00:48:03Don't worry.
00:48:04Don't worry.
00:48:05Don't worry.
00:48:06Don't worry.
00:48:07Don't worry.
00:48:08Don't worry.
00:48:09Don't worry.
00:48:10Don't worry.
00:48:11You seem sort of different lately.
00:48:12Anything the matter?
00:48:13Maybe the next time you see me, I'll be in a position of authority, of power.
00:48:18No longer hiding in the dark.
00:48:20Giving the orders, not taking them.
00:48:23What do you say to that?
00:48:26you're drunk drunk yes when I was a boy I dreamed a dream I was dressed in armor
00:48:40shining blue-gray armor I rode on a horse through the streets where the people cheered
00:48:47hailing me I rode over the bodies of underlings prostrated before me their blood ran out along
00:49:01the gutters like a river what if this was no dream what if it was prophecy what if all this
00:49:16comes to pass well something must have happened to you yes Kitty something that you're going to
00:49:29share with me get your coat hurry
00:49:46all right you have plenty of petrol enough start driving
00:49:52so
00:50:05Where's Holmes?
00:50:23He'll be here, I'm sure.
00:50:25It's starting now.
00:50:26Here he is.
00:50:28You're almost late.
00:50:29I had to go to Downing Street.
00:50:31Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:50:33Your favorite broadcaster.
00:50:35The voice of terror coming to you from Seisborg.
00:50:39Tonight I have something special for you.
00:50:41Where are you weakest, you weakening people of Britain?
00:50:45Consider well.
00:50:47Is it lack of food?
00:50:48Is it your stodgy leadership?
00:50:50Faulty ammunition?
00:50:51Scarcity of shipping?
00:50:52Lack of raw materials?
00:50:54Do you know that despite all your great efforts,
00:50:57your coasts are inadequately defended?
00:50:59Especially one coast.
00:51:01And there we shall strike.
00:51:03Swiftly, terribly.
00:51:06Tomorrow at sunrise.
00:51:09In a special broadcast at that time,
00:51:11I shall describe the carnage.
00:51:13Turn it off.
00:51:14What does he mean?
00:51:17What kind of threat is this?
00:51:19Remember,
00:51:20all our reports for the last few weeks
00:51:22have indicated abnormal enemy activity
00:51:24on the coast of Norway.
00:51:25And that means an attacking force
00:51:26on our northeast coast.
00:51:28Then that's where we must concentrate
00:51:29all our forces.
00:51:30Immediately.
00:51:31They'll never bring it off now that we know.
00:51:33This time the voice is boasting.
00:51:35Perhaps.
00:51:36But so far he's made good his boasts.
00:51:39What have you done to stop it?
00:51:41Shilly-shallying about while these crimes continue.
00:51:43This is the last straw.
00:51:44We must prevent this all-out attack at any cost.
00:51:47Sir Evans right.
00:51:48All our available resources must be rushed to meet it.
00:51:51Withdraw material from elsewhere?
00:51:53If need be, yes.
00:51:54This calls for action on lots of it.
00:51:56There's something curious about this broadcast.
00:52:01He said tomorrow.
00:52:03Always before, it was now.
00:52:05I wonder what it means.
00:52:07There's no time for wonder at this point.
00:52:08Mr. Holmes,
00:52:09your methods have got us nowhere.
00:52:11The situation demanded action and got none.
00:52:13Mr. Lloyd,
00:52:14I think I know when action should be taken.
00:52:15Nevertheless,
00:52:16we take charge now.
00:52:18This is a crisis you can't hope to deal with.
00:52:22A man to see you, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:23Bring him in.
00:52:23Yes, sir.
00:52:24Mr. Holmes,
00:52:26sir,
00:52:27last night I trailed Kitty and the fellow Meade.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:30They went to a place near a bomb village on the coast, sir.
00:52:33North?
00:52:34No, sir.
00:52:34South.
00:52:35South?
00:52:35Why didn't you come sooner?
00:52:36Motor trouble, sir.
00:52:38Just got back.
00:52:39All right.
00:52:39It can't be helped.
00:52:39Stand by until we need you.
00:52:40What?
00:52:42So,
00:52:44it's on the southern coast the drama to be played.
00:52:46The fox is out of his hole at last.
00:52:48Meade has led us to the voice of terror.
00:52:50Gentlemen,
00:52:50we must set up at once.
00:52:51Are you mad?
00:52:52What sort of a wild goose chase are you suggesting?
00:52:54It's ridiculous.
00:52:55It's time to put a stop to this.
00:53:00Barham speaking.
00:53:05Yes, of course.
00:53:08We've been ordered to accompany Mr. Holmes.
00:53:10The End
00:53:24The End
00:53:28THE END
00:53:58Major Harrison, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:54:01Good evening, sir. All the arrangements have been made.
00:54:03Splendid.
00:54:05And that church up there?
00:54:09Yes, sir.
00:54:11All right. Let's go, gentlemen.
00:54:28Von Bach seems to be delayed.
00:54:31He'll be here, never fear.
00:54:33You all understand your objectives.
00:54:38Sheila.
00:54:40Sheila!
00:54:41Yes, sir.
00:54:43You understand what you are to do?
00:54:46Yes, sir. I'm going with the first contingent to Liverpool.
00:54:48Your men are waiting there, organized to take control?
00:54:50They have been ready and waiting for weeks.
00:54:52What was that?
00:55:02When the world is changing, it is natural to be on edge.
00:55:05Merely owls, or perhaps wood rats?
00:55:07No.
00:55:08It sounded like...
00:55:09Sheila!
00:55:10Yes, sir.
00:55:12Go on.
00:55:13City of Croydon Airport.
00:55:15All is prepared.
00:55:16You go.
00:55:17Birmingham.
00:55:17Where I used to slave in the factories.
00:55:20But not anymore.
00:55:21The day has come at last.
00:55:32Line them up over there.
00:55:47Mr. Holmes.
00:55:50I was afraid you'd be too late.
00:55:51I'm glad you're safe, Kitty.
00:55:52Come along. Sit down.
00:56:07Gentlemen.
00:56:08When Mr. Meade and I last met,
00:56:10he wished he could put us on trial.
00:56:12Mr. Lloyd, Dr. Watson, and myself.
00:56:13Now, Meade, you are on trial.
00:56:19First, let me tell you why you have met here.
00:56:21The vague but canny threat against our northeastern coast was oblined.
00:56:25Your group was congregated here to receive an invasion army proceeding across the channel.
00:56:29What?
00:56:30Invasion?
00:56:31All those men rushed for defense of the north.
00:56:33I can't believe it.
00:56:34It sounds impossible.
00:56:34Hold it down for a moment.
00:56:36It seems very absurd.
00:56:37Come on.
00:56:38Come on.
00:56:38Come on.
00:56:38Come on.
00:56:38Come on.
00:56:39Get your honor when you get.
00:56:40Now, the head of this mighty force,
00:56:42the victim chosen,
00:56:46the faithful were to proceed to various centers of our country
00:56:48and take up positions of authority.
00:56:50And we shall.
00:56:50Do you understand that?
00:56:51Unfortunately for you, that is not to be.
00:56:53We're held, yes.
00:56:55But the invasion will proceed without us.
00:56:57Why is this here doing nothing?
00:56:58Why are we helpless here?
00:57:00Please be patient.
00:57:02You called me in on this case
00:57:03to identify and to silence the voice of terror
00:57:05and to circumvent the unknown plan behind it.
00:57:08That undertaking is still in progress.
00:57:10But we are rapidly drawing to a conclusion.
00:57:14Gentlemen,
00:57:15the voice of terror is here with you in this church.
00:57:18What?
00:57:20Are you referring to Meade?
00:57:21Why, who is it?
00:57:22Meade was my one sure connection with the voice of terror.
00:57:25At the warehouse, I allowed him to escape
00:57:27and assign Kitty here to trail him.
00:57:30When I learned through Kitty's abduction
00:57:32that Meade had come down here
00:57:34to meet with a group of men,
00:57:35I asked myself why.
00:57:37Why a deserted fishing village on the channel
00:57:40when Scotland was to be the next scene of disaster?
00:57:43And why was it necessary to withdraw great stores
00:57:45of ordnance and material for the protection of Scotland?
00:57:48It was a ruse, gentlemen,
00:57:49to leave this coast unprotected.
00:57:51A ruse devised by the voice of terror.
00:57:53I knew quite early, of course,
00:57:58that the voice was a member of your august body.
00:58:01You dare to insinuate that one of us...
00:58:03If this is meant to be humor,
00:58:04it's very ill-timed.
00:58:06German agents knew I was on the case
00:58:07the very night I was called in.
00:58:11How did they know this secret?
00:58:13One of your counsel informed them.
00:58:14There were attempts made on the lives of all of us.
00:58:18But the attempt made on the life of one of your members
00:58:20was entirely unsubstantiated,
00:58:22resting on his word alone.
00:58:25One member whom I went to the country
00:58:26ostensibly to protect, actually to surprise,
00:58:29this member fired on the Nazi pickup plane,
00:58:31not in rage, as he pretended,
00:58:32but to warn and frighten it away.
00:58:36That was very clever of you, Sir Evan.
00:58:40Sir Evan?
00:58:41I can't believe it.
00:58:42Sir Evan couldn't be implicated in a thing like this.
00:58:45What's Sir Evan got to say?
00:58:48Let me congratulate you, Mr. Holmes.
00:58:51You admit this outrageous accusation?
00:58:53There's been treason before, but this is beyond belief.
00:58:55Treason is not involved.
00:58:57Sir Evan Barham is not Sir Evan Barham.
00:59:00What are you talking about?
00:59:01In March 1918,
00:59:02Lieutenant Evan Barham was a prisoner
00:59:04in a German prison camp.
00:59:05There, his amazing resemblance
00:59:07to a certain Heinrich von Bork,
00:59:09a brilliant young member of the German secret service.
00:59:11sealed young Barham's fate.
00:59:14One morning, he was taken out and shot,
00:59:16murdered in cold blood.
00:59:18Then this man is...
00:59:18He is Heinrich von Bork,
00:59:20who has been masquerading in Barham's place
00:59:22for the past 24 years.
00:59:23You see, gentlemen,
00:59:25the Germans plan well in advance.
00:59:27It's incredible.
00:59:29How could a thing like this happen?
00:59:30Barham had no immediate family.
00:59:31The details of his private life
00:59:33were avidly studied by von Bork,
00:59:35who was three years at Oxford
00:59:36and had a perfect knowledge
00:59:37of the English language
00:59:38and English habits.
00:59:40So, with possibly the help
00:59:41of a little plastic surgery,
00:59:43not forgetting the considerable resemblance
00:59:45to Barham in the first place,
00:59:47the deception was carried through.
00:59:48Very clever, Mr. Holmes.
00:59:51I must say, Holmes,
00:59:52this is positively amazing.
00:59:55What made you first suspect Barham?
00:59:57The real servant Barham
00:59:58carried a scar from childhood.
01:00:01This one is about 20 years old.
01:00:03A detail, but significant.
01:00:05I can't believe it.
01:00:07It was Barham who insisted
01:00:08on your being brought into the case.
01:00:09A colossal piece of egocentric conceit.
01:00:12One to match your own,
01:00:13Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:00:14Of course I brought you into the case.
01:00:16To see your weak and silly handling,
01:00:18to watch you fumble and lose it.
01:00:20Are you too stupid to realize
01:00:22that this group
01:00:22is but a small part of our organization?
01:00:25We have men stationed all over England,
01:00:27ready to take command.
01:00:28They never will.
01:00:29They were all taken exactly at dawn,
01:00:31just as you were.
01:00:32So now we are trapped, huh?
01:00:34No, gentlemen.
01:00:35It is you who are trapped.
01:00:37Listen.
01:00:38Even now our Messerschmitt
01:00:42are roaring overhead.
01:00:43The vanguard of the invasion.
01:00:45Why are they not routed?
01:00:47Where are our boasted anti-aircraft guns?
01:00:50They are silent.
01:00:51Our little ruse was entirely successful.
01:00:54The coast has been stripped of its defenses.
01:00:57Preserve your vaunted British vanity
01:00:59as best you may.
01:01:00In this, your hour
01:01:01of most humiliating defeat.
01:01:03You have not captured us, my friend.
01:01:05We have annihilated you.
01:01:07Do you really think
01:01:08it's so blind
01:01:09that we would strip
01:01:10this coast of defenses
01:01:11because of a voice
01:01:12on a phonograph record?
01:01:13The council was deliberately misinformed
01:01:15about moving the defense forces.
01:01:18You are trying to save your face.
01:01:20Look!
01:01:20If you think I'm lying.
01:01:26Those are not Messerschmitts.
01:01:27They're spitfires and hurricanes
01:01:29returning from blasting
01:01:31your invasion forces,
01:01:32destroying men in barges
01:01:33with a thousand.
01:01:34Look further, Van Bork.
01:01:35Look below.
01:01:36Look below.
01:01:37Commandos, tanks.
01:01:40Slipping away
01:01:40now that your invasion force
01:01:41has been destroyed
01:01:42to bring ruin and terror
01:01:44to your people.
01:01:52I wonder if there's anything
01:01:53on the wireless about this.
01:01:54The BBC.
01:01:59We are frightfully sorry
01:02:01to announce
01:02:02that a special broadcast
01:02:03of the voice of terror
01:02:04will have to be delayed
01:02:06indefinitely.
01:02:08A threat against our northern coasts
01:02:10made only as a blind
01:02:11to cover the enemy's invasion plans
01:02:13has not been fulfilled.
01:02:15Instead,
01:02:16our victorious planes
01:02:17have blasted invasion bases
01:02:18on the continent,
01:02:20destroying enormous stores
01:02:21of materiel and troops.
01:02:23More news of this
01:02:24triumphant victory tomorrow.
01:02:26At the same time,
01:02:27the scattered Nazi agents
01:02:28all over the Commonwealth
01:02:30have been unceremoniously
01:02:32clapped into prison.
01:02:33That is all.
01:02:34Look out!
01:02:35This girl merits
01:02:54our deepest gratitude.
01:02:56Our country is honoured
01:02:57in having had such loyalty
01:02:58and devotion.
01:02:59We'll remember.
01:03:02Holmes,
01:03:02I don't know how
01:03:04we'll ever thank you.
01:03:06Don't try.
01:03:06It isn't necessary.
01:03:11I'll be with you
01:03:12in a minute, Holmes.
01:03:13I'll just see
01:03:14that she's taken care of.
01:03:26I always did think
01:03:27that chap was an imposter.
01:03:29Barham was a good fellow.
01:03:30Played wing three-quarter
01:03:31for the school.
01:03:31What a lovely morning, Holmes.
01:03:48There's an east wind
01:03:49coming, Watson.
01:03:50No, I don't think so.
01:03:51Looks like another warm day.
01:03:54Good old Watson.
01:03:57The one fixed point
01:03:59in the changing age.
01:04:00There's an east wind
01:04:03coming all the same.
01:04:05Such a wind
01:04:06has never blew
01:04:07on England yet.
01:04:08It will be cold
01:04:09and bitter, Watson.
01:04:11And a good many of us
01:04:12may wither
01:04:13before its blast.
01:04:15But it's God's own wind,
01:04:17nonetheless.
01:04:18And a greener,
01:04:19better, stronger land
01:04:20will lie in the sunshine
01:04:21when the storm is cleared.
01:04:22kept it.
01:04:30I don't know.
01:04:31From beyond.
01:04:43We're going to pursue it.
01:04:43THE END
