1:48:00
Ma'am, if l may explain--
1:48:02
You had better!
1:48:03
The admiralty
regards this craft...
1:48:05
as the ultimate weapon
in naval warfare.
1:48:07
lt can seek out enemy ships...
1:48:08
and destroy them
with those torpedoes...
1:48:09
while remaining
completely invisible.
1:48:12
You mean it can fire
at other vessels...
1:48:15
while under water?
1:48:16
Yes, ma'am.
1:48:17
Without any warning?
1:48:18
That is correct, ma'am.
1:48:19
Without showing her colors?
1:48:21
lndeed, ma'am.
1:48:22
Mr. Holmes, we are not amused.
1:48:27
lt is unsportsmanlike,
it is un-English...
1:48:30
and it is in very poor taste!
1:48:33
We will have none of it!
1:48:36
l beg your pardon, ma'am.
1:48:40
Sometimes we despair
at the state of the world.
1:48:44
What will scientists
think of next?
1:48:47
That's precisely it, ma'am.
1:48:49
At this very moment...
1:48:50
the Germans,
under Count von Zeppelin...
1:48:52
are experimenting
with a dirigible.
1:48:54
A dirigible?
And what, pray, is that?
1:48:57
A rigid balloon
which could fly over London...
1:48:59
and drop a bomb
on Buckingham Palace.
1:49:02
lt is being developed
at the express orders...
1:49:03
of Kaiser Wilhelm ll.
1:49:06
Nonsense! We refuse to believe
that our grandson Willie...
1:49:10
would do a thing like that!
1:49:12
We have conclusive proof, ma'am.
1:49:13
Our agent in Friedrichshafen,
a man named lbidson...
1:49:16
actually saw the dirigible
and made a drawing of it.
1:49:18
Unfortunately,
he was apprehended...
1:49:20
before he could
cross the border.
1:49:22
Nevertheless, we want no part
of this beastly invention.
1:49:26
Get rid of it! Scuttle it!
1:49:29
The sooner the better!
1:49:31
May l point out, ma'am--
1:49:32
And do not concern yourself...
1:49:33
about that dirigible
dropping bombs on us.
1:49:37
We shall write a very sharp note
to the kaiser!
1:49:42
Now...we wish to return
to Balmoral.
