:54:00
Come along, sit down.
:54:14
Gentlemen, when Mr.
Meade and I last met
:54:17
he wished he could
put us on trial
:54:19
Mr. Lloyd, Dr.
Watson, and myself.
:54:22
Now Meade, you
are on trial.
:54:25
First let me tell you
why you were met here.
:54:27
The vague but canny
threat against our
:54:29
northeastern
coast was a blind.
:54:31
Your group has
congregated here
:54:33
to receive an
invasion army
:54:34
proceeding across
the channel.
:54:35
What, invasion?
:54:37
All those men rushed to
the defense of the north.
:54:39
Sit down for a moment.
:54:46
At the head of
this mighty force
:54:48
the picked and chosen.
:54:51
The faithful would
have proceed to various
centers of our country
:54:53
and take up a
position of authority.
:54:55
And we shall, do you
understand that?
:54:57
Unfortunately for you
that is not to be.
:54:58
We're held yes,
:55:00
but the invasion will
proceed without us.
:55:02
(Everyone
speaking at once.)
:55:05
Please be patient.
:55:06
You called me
on this case
:55:08
to identify and silence
:55:09
the Voice of Terror
and to circumvent
:55:11
the unknown
plan behind it.
:55:12
That undertaking is
still in progress
:55:15
but we are rapidly
drawing to a conclusion.
:55:18
Gentlemen, the Voice of
Terror is here with you
:55:21
in this church.
:55:23
What?
:55:24
Are you referring
to Meade?
:55:25
Why who is it?
:55:26
Meade was my one
sure connection
:55:28
to the Voice of Terror.
:55:29
At the warehouse I
allowed him to escape
:55:32
and assigned Kitty
here to trail him.
:55:34
When I learned through
Kitty's abduction
:55:35
that Meade had
come down here
:55:37
to meet with
a group of men
:55:38
I asked myself why.
:55:41
Why a deserted fishing
village on the channel
:55:43
when Scotland was to be
:55:45
the next scene
of disaster,
:55:46
and why is it
necessary to withdraw
:55:48
great stores of ordnance
and material for the
:55:50
protection of Scotland?
:55:51
It was a ruse gentlemen
:55:53
to leave this
coast unprotected.
:55:54
A ruse devised by
the Voice of Terror.
:55:57
I knew quite
early, of course,
