:39:12
This will quiet
your nerves.
:39:37
The tea has
got cold again.
:39:39
You've been playing that
thing all the afternoon,
:39:41
fiddling while Rome burns.
:39:45
Hello, what's this?
:39:48
General J.
Lawford, KCBDSO,
:39:49
Captain Ronald Shaw MC,
:39:51
who today narrowly
escaped being struck
:39:54
by a falling wall
in a bombed area.
:39:56
Lawford and Shaw,
by a falling
:39:59
Holmes, you don't
think that...
:40:02
It was not an accident.
:40:04
Good heavens.
:40:06
Holmes, that
sinister-looking fellow,
:40:08
what's his name, Meade,
:40:10
if only he
hadn't got away.
:40:11
Yes, difficult as it was
:40:13
I managed to
let him escape.
:40:14
You let him escape?
:40:15
But great scott man,
:40:16
he was about to kill us.
:40:18
He may even yet.
:40:20
I don't understand
you, Holmes.
:40:21
It's my theory that
this chap Meade
:40:23
is the arch-criminal
:40:24
and he's behind
the whole thing.
:40:26
You're absolutely
right, Watson,
:40:27
except for one thing.
:40:28
Well then I'm wrong.
:40:30
Have you observed
:40:31
that a highly
secret military plan
:40:32
is thwarted by each
of these disasters?
:40:34
Yes, I have now
that you mention it.
:40:36
Watson, there's a leak.
:40:39
A leak?
:40:40
You mean in the Council?
:40:41
But Holmes, that's
impossible.
:40:44
Anything is possible
until proved otherwise.
:40:46
Lets see, who's
in the Council.
:40:49
Lawford and Shaw, they're
above suspicion,
:40:51
their record proves that.
:40:52
Anyhow, they
were attacked.
:40:54
Unsuccessfully.
:40:55
There's Prentiss.
:40:56
Would he kill his own son?
:40:58
Doesn't seem likely and
yet the boy is dead.
