: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.
:05:00
He's unorthodox
and theatrical.
:05:01
I can tell you
all about him.
:05:03
Gentlemen, perhaps I can
:05:04
throw some light on
the subject myself.
:05:07
Holmes, how are you?
:05:09
So good of you to come.
:05:10
Good afternoon, Sir Evan.
:05:12
Your card opened
all doors.
:05:14
Blauser,
:05:16
you've put on
a little weight
:05:18
since you left school.
:05:19
You don't look any
younger yourself, Dimples.
:05:20
How are you?
:05:22
Fine.
:05:23
Come in would you.
:05:24
You know these gentlemen?
:05:25
I think so.
:05:26
How do you do?
:05:27
I haven't had
the pleasure.
:05:29
May I introduce my friend
and associate, Dr. Watson?
:05:31
Hello.
:05:32
How do you do?
:05:36
I'm afraid I've arrived
at an embarrassing moment.
:05:38
Not at all.
:05:39
This gentleman here,
:05:41
Admiral Sir John Prentiss,
:05:42
Admiral Prentiss
objects most strongly
:05:44
to my being called in.
:05:45
How could you
possibly infer that?
:05:46
Look on the carpet.
:05:48
Carpet?
:05:49
A man who rises
from his chair
:05:51
and digs his heels
sternly into the carpet
:05:52
is violently opposed
to something,
:05:54
and the Admiral being
quite distressed
:05:55
by the criticisms
of the Press
:05:57
would be most apt to
resent my intrusion.
:05:59
Well.
