:57:00
What are you
talking about?
:57:01
In March 1918
Lieutenant Evan Barham
:57:03
was a prisoner in a
German prison camp.
:57:05
There his amazing
resemblance
:57:06
to a certain
Heinrich VonBock,
:57:08
a brilliant
young member
:57:10
of the German
Secret Service,
:57:11
sealed young
Barham's fate.
:57:13
One morning he was
taken out and shot,
:57:15
murdered in cold blood.
:57:17
Then this man is...
:57:18
Is Heinrich VonBock who
has been masquerading
:57:20
in Barham's place for
the past 24 years.
:57:22
You see gentlemen,
:57:24
the Germans plan
well in advance.
:57:26
It's incredible.
:57:27
How could a thing
like this happen?
:57:29
Barham had no
immediate family.
:57:30
The details of
his private life
:57:32
were effortless
studied by VonBock
:57:33
who was three
years at Oxford
:57:35
and had a perfect
knowledge of the
English language
:57:36
and English habits.
:57:38
So, with possibly the help
:57:39
of a little
plastic surgery,
:57:41
not forgetting
the considerable
:57:43
resemblance to Barham
in the first place,
:57:45
the deception was
carried through.
:57:47
Very clever, Mr. Holmes.
:57:49
I must say, Holmes, it
is positively amazing.
:57:52
What made you first
suspect Barham?
:57:55
The real Sir Evan Barham
:57:56
carried a scar
from childhood.
:57:58
This one is about
20 years old,
:58:00
a detail but significant.
:58:02
I can't believe it.
:58:04
It was Barham who insisted
:58:06
on your being brought
into the case.
:58:07
A colossal piece of
egocentric conceit.
:58:09
One to match your own,
Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
:58:11
Of course I brought
you into the case
:58:13
to see your weak
and silly handling,
:58:14
to watch you
fumble and lose it.
:58:17
Are you too stupid to
realize that this group
:58:19
is but a small part
of our organization?
:58:21
We have men stationed
all over England
:58:23
ready to take command.
:58:24
They never will.
:58:25
They were all taken
exactly at dawn
:58:27
just as you were.
:58:28
So now we are now
trapped, huh?
:58:30
No gentlemen, it is
you who are trapped?
:58:33
Listen.
:58:36
Even now our
messerschmitts are
roaring overhead,
:58:39
the vanguard of
the invasion.
:58:41
Why are they not grounded?
:58:42
Where are your boosted
anti-aircraft guns?
:58:45
They are silent.
:58:46
Our little ruse was
entirely successful.
:58:49
The coast has been
stripped of its defenses.
:58:51
Preserve your vaunted
British vanity
:58:54
as best you may
in this your hour
:58:56
of most
humiliating defeat.
:58:58
You have not captured
us my friend.
