Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror Page #4

Our technicians insist

the broadcast

originated in Zeisberg.

And so they do

from recordings

flown to Zeisberg.

It's impossible Holmes.

You can't expect anyone

to believe that.

It can't be done.

Thanks to the

Royal Air force

I have some rather

curious information

that at regular intervals

six Nazi bombing

planes come over

and drop their

deadly cargoes

on non-military

objectives,

a meadow or

a sheep folk.

That's nonsense.

The Nazis aren't fools.

They don't waste

ammunition.

Of course not.

Then what's the purpose?

To divert attention

from the fact

that a single plane

breaks formation

each time it disappears.

But why?

Gentlemen, that lone

plane picks up plans,

maps, secret military

information,

and the Voice of Terror's

timed and recorded speech,

and flies them

to Germany.

I can hardly believe it.

Sensational if true.

It's incredible.

Fantastic.

Mr. Holmes.

Yes.

There's a person

outside asking.

A lady?

Um...

Ask her to come in.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Gentlemen, I must

leave at once.

Where are you going?

That is to remain a secret

even from this council.

I object to this,

Mr. Holmes.

You're here

against my wishes.

Since you are here

I demand to know

what's being done.

As I've already

told you, Mr. Lloyd,

I shall report

to this council

at the proper time.

And so, gentlemen,

until we meet again,

as I hope we will,

take no

unnecessary risks.

We're all in grave danger.

Come along Watson.

Coming.

Holmes,

I think we're

being followed.

Yes, I know, it's Lloyd.

Lloyd, how do you know?

He's so obvious about it.

Good evening, Mr. Lloyd.

You going our way?

I intend to find out

what you're doing.

Even to the point

of following me?

This is our business, you

know, as well as yours.

All right, come along.

This place seems deserted.

Its been deserted

for years.

Not very securely locked.

Fortunate, isn't it?

Water?

It's the river.

This is part of the

Old Christopher docks.

Never heard of them.

Christopher?

Mr. Holmes, isn't that

the word that Gavin...

Quiet Watson.

Oh, sorry.

I've almost forgotten.

They were built

before Victoria.

Oh, rats.

Good evening,

gentlemen.

I knew your curiosity

would be your

undoing, Mr. Holmes.

You were

expecting me then?

Yes.

I had hoped that

the entire council

might have come.

It would have

been a pleasure

to deal with all of them,

quietly and

effectively.

Eventually, they all

will be taken care of

however, Mr. Lloyd

is quite a catch

and will have to

suffice for the moment.

What do you intend

to do with us?

Were it not the

time is so pressing

we might first

put you on trial.

On trial for what?

Crimes against

the Third Reich,

misguided

efforts to wreck

our inevitable victory.

Mr. Lloyd, your super

British patriotism,

your blundering, but

sometimes effective

intelligence efforts

are well-known.

We have quite a

score against you

which will be settled.

Dr. Watson,

a fair physician no doubt

but of no consequence.

To our stupid

British minds,

every life is

a consequence.

A quaint notion of an

even quainter nation.

We are not like that.

We know that

only the powerful

are worthy of respect.

Let our records

speak for us.

Your records speaks,

its brilliant.

Thank you.

A brilliant record

of rapacity,

cruelty, torture,

deceit and murder.

Murder?

Gesundheit.

Thank you.

Cold?

It's a little

chilly in here.

I'm sorry you're

uncomfortable.

My discomfort is

of no consequence.

Your false courage is not

impressive, Mr. Holmes.

Of course, you realize

that you and your

friends are going to die?

As all men must

sooner or later.

Not later, now.

Good work, boys.

It's a pleasure, sir.

All right then.

Line 'em up, Duggan.

Come on, get over there.

He got away.

Most unfortunate.

I must blame

myself severely.

I should think

you might, Holmes.

If you hadn't been so

stupid and mysterious,

allowed Scotland Yard to

give you adequate protection,

the man would

never have escaped.

No, he never would.

Most regrettable.

Gesundheit.

Keep quiet.

Don't be a fool.

Do you want to bring

the whole force here?

So that was it, aye?

Quite a haul.

It's mine.

Go ahead, your

friends, the police,

are undoubtedly

still out there.

There isn't a better

hideout in all London.

This will quiet

your nerves.

The tea has

got cold again.

You've been playing that

thing all the afternoon,

fiddling while Rome burns.

Hello, what's this?

General J.

Lawford, KCBDSO,

Captain Ronald Shaw MC,

who today narrowly

escaped being struck

by a falling wall

in a bombed area.

Lawford and Shaw,

by a falling

Holmes, you don't

think that...

It was not an accident.

Good heavens.

Holmes, that

sinister-looking fellow,

what's his name, Meade,

if only he

hadn't got away.

Yes, difficult as it was

I managed to

let him escape.

You let him escape?

But great scott man,

he was about to kill us.

He may even yet.

I don't understand

you, Holmes.

It's my theory that

this chap Meade

is the arch-criminal

and he's behind

the whole thing.

You're absolutely

right, Watson,

except for one thing.

Well then I'm wrong.

Have you observed

that a highly

secret military plan

is thwarted by each

of these disasters?

Yes, I have now

that you mention it.

Watson, there's a leak.

A leak?

You mean in the Council?

But Holmes, that's

impossible.

Anything is possible

until proved otherwise.

Lets see, who's

in the Council.

Lawford and Shaw, they're

above suspicion,

their record proves that.

Anyhow, they

were attacked.

Unsuccessfully.

There's Prentiss.

Would he kill his own son?

Doesn't seem likely and

yet the boy is dead.

Barham, of course,

brought you into the case.

So, it's quite obvious

that he wants it solved.

Most patriotic

of Sir Barham.

He's a great fellow.

I had went three

quarters of the school

my last term so I

can vouch for him.

Besides he was

attacked too, shot at.

So I gather.

How about Lloyd?

Can't be him.

Meade was gonna kill

him as well as us.

By the way, he's a

brave fellow, Lloyd.

Did you notice that he

didn't turn a hair?

Very composed.

Come in.

Mr. Holmes.

Yes, Kitty?

I think now we'll be able

to get some information

from Mr. Meade.

Your plan worked

like a charm.

I knew you could do it.

Oh, it's not so hard once

your mind is make up,

and mine is.

You be careful.

She better be, she's

mixed up with that fellow.

I'll be careful all right.

I'm going through

with this.

Good girl.

I heard him talking

on the phone today.

Yes.

He said, "I'll

take care of that

little Seven Oaks matter

at 11:
00 tonight."

Seven Oaks, isn't

that where...

Barham has a

country place.

Watson, there's not

a moment to lose.

If I find out that Meade

did kill Gavin I'll...

Yes, he'll be punished.

I warned you,

no one was safe

with that fellow at large.

Now he's off to Barham.

Yes, I only hope

were in time.

Come on, Kitty.

I'll get you a taxi.
