:03:00
It will come,
I promise you.
:03:02
Operative 23,
the time is now.
:03:06
We strike you
on the high seas
:03:08
as well as on the land.
:03:11
This is the
Voice of Terror.
:03:14
Englishmen,
:03:15
the Fuhrer strikes
you now as he pleases.
:03:18
Water pours through
your greatest dams
:03:20
smashing everything
before it,
:03:21
even as our
invincible armies
:03:23
roar toward their
objectives.
:03:31
Despite the
effective work
:03:32
done by the Intelligence
Inner Council,
:03:35
Jailing fifth columnists
and saboteurs,
:03:37
despite their efficiency
:03:39
in coordinating
military strategy
:03:40
based on information
of enemy movements,
:03:42
they seem unable
to cope with
:03:44
the Voice of Terror.
:03:46
Already six military
catastrophes
have occurred.
:03:48
Unmitigated nerve
of the Press.
:03:50
Now they're attacking us.
:03:52
Blast the fellow
to kingdom come.
:03:53
If only we could keep
:03:55
this insidious
stuff off the air.
:03:56
I'm not sure that
I agree with you.
:03:57
What purpose
would that serve?
:03:59
Well, the people wouldn't
have to listen to it.
:04:00
I've been talking
to Crosbie,
:04:01
the Radio Technician,
:04:02
if we want him
jammed off the air
:04:04
Crosbie can do it.
:04:05
I've been working
along other lines.
:04:08
I've asked Mr. Sherlock
Holmes to come here.
:04:10
What, Sherlock Holmes?
:04:12
This isn't a case for
a private detective.
:04:14
It's a matter of state.
:04:16
In this emergency we
should take advantage
:04:17
of everyone's
peculiar gifts.
:04:19
Mr. Holmes is the most
subtle and extraordinary
:04:21
Private Investigator
of our time.
:04:23
Are you intimating
that the
:04:24
army and navy
intelligence
:04:25
plus Scotland Yard
:04:26
are not equal to the
occasion, Sir Evan?
:04:28
I'm sure they're
equal to any occasion.
:04:30
They've done a
marvelous job
:04:31
of lining up
fifth columnists,
:04:32
saboteurs, and
keeping us informed
:04:34
of the enemy's movements.
:04:35
But the Voice of Terror
:04:36
seems to have
them stumped.
:04:38
Sherlock Holmes may
have a new approach
:04:39
that will solve
the problem.
:04:41
What's happened
inside these walls
:04:42
has always been secret.
:04:44
We don't want any
outsiders here.
:04:46
I'm positively and
irrevocably opposed
:04:48
to calling in
Sherlock Holmes.
:04:51
Perhaps you'll
change your mind.
:04:52
I see nothing whatever
to make me do so.
:04:55
Prentiss is right.
:04:56
For ordinary criminal
investigation
:04:58
Holmes is excellent
:04:59
but not for this.
