: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.
:41:01
Barham, of course,
brought you into the case.
:41:03
So, it's quite obvious
that he wants it solved.
:41:06
Most patriotic
of Sir Barham.
:41:07
He's a great fellow.
:41:09
I had went three
quarters of the school
:41:11
my last term so I
can vouch for him.
:41:12
Besides he was
attacked too, shot at.
:41:14
So I gather.
:41:17
How about Lloyd?
:41:18
Can't be him.
:41:20
Meade was gonna kill
him as well as us.
:41:23
By the way, he's a
brave fellow, Lloyd.
:41:25
Did you notice that he
didn't turn a hair?
:41:27
Very composed.
:41:28
(Knocking)
:41:29
Come in.
:41:31
Mr. Holmes.
:41:32
Yes, Kitty?
:41:33
I think now we'll be able
to get some information
:41:35
from Mr. Meade.
:41:36
Your plan worked
like a charm.
:41:37
I knew you could do it.
:41:39
Oh, it's not so hard once
your mind is make up,
:41:40
and mine is.
:41:41
You be careful.
:41:43
She better be, she's
mixed up with that fellow.
:41:44
I'll be careful all right.
:41:46
I'm going through
with this.
:41:47
Good girl.
:41:49
I heard him talking
on the phone today.
:41:50
Yes.
:41:51
He said, "I'll
take care of that
:41:53
little Seven Oaks matter
at 11:00 tonight."
:41:55
Seven Oaks, isn't
that where...
:41:57
Barham has a
country place.
:41:58
Watson, there's not
a moment to lose.
