Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror Page #2

It is the last letter

he will ever receive.

The train is

rounding a curve.

Its whistle is screaming.

Farewell it is

saying, farewell.

You have just heard

an exact reproduction

of the way it sounds,

the way it must

actually be.

The hearts of the

German people bleed

that innocent men and

women have to be killed

because your stupid...

Shore speaking.

Have you any news of

the Liverpool Express?

...time and time

again offered in peace.

But if you're blundering

war cabinet cannot see

that England is

already lost,

that it is our

sacred German duty

to prove it to them

over and over and over

until they are on their

knees begging, pleading,

groveling for the

exquisite mercy

of our Fuhrer.

Each night the Voice of

Terror will announce...

Shut it off.

Stop it.

...even as you

listen and you...

I'm sorry.

Do what you can, Holmes.

This frightful thing

has got to be stopped.

His son was on that train.

How did they find out

about the troops?

It was an absolute secret.

Gentlemen,

something must be done

about this thing at once.

Yes.

First of all then,

the voice must not be

blocked off the air.

But he's a menace.

All over the empire

this horrible

news is broadcast,

blown up out of

all proportions.

The world is beginning

to believe it.

Even our allies are

counting England out.

People are

frightened, panicky.

The British people are

not so easily pairing.

It's dangerous I tell you

to let this thing go on.

Dangerous, yes,

Captain Shore,

but we must

continue to listen.

What for,

so that we can keep

on guessing who it is?

His identity is

not important.

The important thing is

the purpose behind this

campaign of terror.

The purpose indeed.

Isn't it enough

that our most secret

plans are known,

our ships are

being destroyed,

our trains wrecked?

I'm convinced that

these disasters

are only a prelude,

a smoke screen,

to cover up a more

diabolic plan,

and I intend to find

out what that plan is.

This Council and Scotland

Yard will give you

all the aide you require.

Thank you.

Gentlemen, my connection

with this case

must remain

absolutely secret.

You understand

that, of course?

Why certainly.

You will let the council

know at all times

just what you're doing.

I shall give you

such information

as I think

wise to disclose

in the interests

of safety,

both the public's

and your own.

The Inner Council

has never shared

its secrets with anyone.

I demand that you

keep us informed

of your activities

and progress.

Come along, Watson.

Mr. Holmes,

I want to apologize

for your rather

lukewarm reception here.

Well, thank you, Sir Evan.

I'm used to the chilly

atmosphere of high places.
