Verloc tells the contact that he is not comfortable with any act that would cause the loss of life.Meanwhile, Scotland Yard suspects Verlocs involvement in the plot and assigns Detective Sergeant Ted Spencer John Loder to investigate Verloc. Spencer is initially undercover as a greengrocers helper next to the cinema, and befriends Mrs. Verloc and her little brother, Stevie Desmond Tester, who lives with them, by treating them to a fancy dinner. At this point, Spencer and Scotland Yard are unsure whether Mrs. Verloc is complicit in the terrorist plots or merely innocently unaware. ........
