What time do you make it now, Arie?

>> I imagine it's about 4.

>> Yeah, I know these yacht men. Casual

they are. He's no doubt sipping his

third cup of tea about now.

>> You know him, Inspector?

>> Well, if your identification is correct,

every police force west of Athens knows

him.

As far as I know, we're the first ones

ever to see what he looked like.

>> We called the odds, sir. As soon as we

saw his name, he'd sewn inside the

pocket of his jacket. Must be espionage.

>> Oh, how'd that happen?

>> Accident, sir. Pure and simple. A milk

cart. The horse went wild and ran off

with the cart. No driver. Charged around

this corner here. Caught the bloke by

surprise.

>> Well, that's a commonplace end to a

romantic career, if you like. This is

all he had in his person, sir. £100,

this French coin, and a note.

>> Note, eh?

For a glance at the coin and a cheery

good day, the Queen of Lambbeth will

send you on your way. Arrive 8:00 a.m.

Wed. That's this morning.

>> Any idea what it means, sir?

>> No.

>> You have no time to find out?

>> There may still be time.

>> 221B Baker Street in Hurry.

Of

course, we've known for some time at the

yard that there's been a leakage in the

foreign office. What with Frederick

Martinez in England, there must be some

connection. If only we knew what we had

stumbled on.

>> Holmes. H

>> Holmes, are you awake? H barely

illustrated. It's a ghastly hour, you

know.

>> What on earth can it possibly mean?

>> Oh, the queen of Lambert. Oh, it's that

pearly queen who's there so often with

the organ grinder. It merely means to

show the coin for identification and

receive further instructions from her.

>> But surely they can't possibly operate

in the open like that.

>> Yes, quite likely, Watson. And a clever

way to operate

right under the noses of Scotland Yard.

Well, I must go and dress if I have to

keep my appointment in Lambert Square.

What a ghastly hour.

Holmes arrived in the square at the

prescribed time, dropped the coin in the

hat, and flashed the French coin with

the other hand. The woman told Holmes to

proceed to Westminster Bridge, and there

to pick up a cane from a man. Near the

center of the bridge, his instructions

took meaning.

To avoid suspicion, Holmes drove on,

then walked back to the sea. The man was

still there, and Holmes approached him

cautiously. It was a moment of chance,

and it worked.

What good is a cane?

>> There you are, the strange. And done

before breakfast, too.

>> On top of the highest tower of all, you

can buy a souvenir with your coin.

Tomorrow morning, tell the vendor you

have no money smaller than the coin.

>> On top of the highest tower of all, you

suppose they're after something in the

Tower of London.

>> It's a little after 8 now, Watson.

What's the earliest train to Dover?

>> Do?

>> Yes, of course. Watson, the note. We

must be in France tomorrow morning.

>> France?

The highest tower of You mean the steel

tower of Mr. Eiffel in Paris? Is that

what we mean then?

>> Certainly. Watson, are you coming with

us? Lestrade.

Well, I can't enter France without

permission from the yard. I'll have to

consult the superintendent.

>> We'll meet you at the station in an

hour. Now, hurry. If we miss this boat,

we miss our appointment.

We've got to go to the shity. The

superintendent gave me strict

instructions. I wasn't to proceed an

inch without getting a French detective

to work with us.

>> No, we're already late to the straight.

We must proceed directly to the tower.

>> Seems as if we've been traveling for

days.

Jerking trains, bouncing carriages,

that horrible, horrible rolling boat.

Well, you're not finished traveling yet,

Austral. But at least your next move

will be in a different direction. Look

out of the window.

Shall we get started?

>> Homes, do you think it's necessary for

all of us to go?

>> Well, perhaps you're right, Lraine.

We'll go on up and you keep God down

here.

Souvenir.

Souvenir.

La.

Souvenir.

>> Excuse me.

>> Ah, but uh I'm afraid I have no change.

Give me the coin.

>> What about my souvenir?

>> We've been informed that Martinez was

killed.

Whoever you are, you're mixing in

something that's none of your business.

Give me the coin.

>> Perhaps we should retire to somewhere

more private.

>> This will do. Give it to me.

Don't think I won't use this.

That coin is worth half a million pounds

to us and even more to the government

that ordered it.

Open it. See if it's the right one.

Saba.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Is it that you

No parley. Fancy.

>> You speak English. I wondered if this

were yours.

>> Uh,

>> no. I haven't lost anything.

>> My lucky day.

>> Oh, well.

Madame

The straight. The straight. We've We've

got to search every inch of the ground

this side of the tower. There's a chance

no one's found it.

>> What are we looking for? Holmes,

>> the coin. The straight. I had no time to

explain now, but I had to throw it down

from the tower up there. The coin. You

You menel.

THE STRAIGHT. The strael.

Mega.

Mister. Oh, what a young lady. A girl.

She found the coin right here. Well,

where'd she go? I've no idea. All I know

is she's got the coin and we've no case

without it.

And now we return to the case of the

Eiffel Tower.

Now we haven't got a single clue. Well,

keep looking.

There's going to be a lot of trouble if

I don't report to the shity soon.

>> There's no time for that, Mr. You're

sure she was a blonde?

>> Yes, of course she was a blonde. She had

nice red cheeks. Very healthy looking. I

remember her lips were red, too. Yes.

Uh, she dressed fancy. Yeah, very fancy.

>> Why in heaven's name didn't you mention

that before?

>> What?

>> Well, the clothes. A blonde, red cheeks,

red lips. Obviously, he uses rouge.

Probably an actress or an entertainer of

some kind. Here, Watson. How do you stop

this fellow? Stop him.

>> Yes. In this language,

manu

All right.

>> Hey, Holmes. What?

>> That's her. H. Well, this lady looks as

though we're going to spend an evening

in Mor.

>> I say it's straight.

>> Are you sure that's the girl?

>> Quite sure.

one of these posters.

Stay close to them. You get the men

together and tell them to be ready.

There'll be no tricks this time.

stray? Are you sure that's the girl?

Well, I'll send a message to her and ask

the table. Gas on.

>> I see it.

>> You miss it.

>> Holmes, look.

>> I don't see anything.

>> Those two men over there near the

entrance.

>> They're the two who held us up in the

tower.

>> How'd they get here?

>> Well, we were so intent on our search,

we took no precautions against being

followed.

>> Well, anyway, they couldn't possibly

know who's got the coin. Could

they homes?

>> It's doubtful, Watson. They would have

acted before if they had. I suggest that

we leave here and contact the singer

later when we've given our friends the

slip.

Mr. Holmes.

>> Yes. I have taken the trouble of

learning your identity. I have a

proposition.

>> Yes.

>> You tell me where the coin is and I'll

pay you £50,000

in addition to your safety. Of course.

I'm

>> afraid I have no idea at all where it

is.

>> My offer is generous. You see, I've

taken steps to find it in any event. And

if you leave without my permission,

you'll be taken by my men outside.

And there are others in here.

>> Quite an organization.

>> You really have no choice, you know.

>> Perhaps not. We shall want to enjoy our

evening since, of course, uh it may be

our last.

Well, what are we going to do?

>> We think Watson. Well, there any Barbies

or whatever you call them around here?

>> Not enough. If only we'd gone to the

shity, we might have got some of them

along.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

What are you going to do? Homes?

Homes? Well, first we order another

bottle of champagne.

Champagne?

>> Yes. Let me get in a very festive mood

and invite a party of girls to the

table. What?

>> Well, well, don't look so shocked.

That's the only way in which we can

encourage the singer to come here and

have a word with us. Now, Watson, you

see those girls over there?

>> I want you to go and invite them to the

table.

>> Oh, me?

>> Yes. They're like you, Watson. You

blush.

Yes, but I I I say homes. Can can girls

dancers French dancers? Well, really

homes. I I mean it's our only chance.

Watson

>> for England.

Well,

for England.

I just don't know what I'm going to

write in my report. I don't dare tell

the superintendent the real details of

this case.

>> Say, say,

>> won't you join us, Mam?

>> Seems a little crowded already.

>> Haven't I seen you before somewhere?

>> Uh, yes. Uh, I I was the fellow. Um, it

was me. You you please sit down.

Uh,

>> Mr. Millar, I must warn you that your

life is in very grave danger.

>> You're original. Anyway,

>> whatever I say, I want you to smile and

pretend that we're just having a

perfectly informal chat. You see, we're

being watched. No, no, don't look around

now.

>> Is this some sort of a joke?

>> I'm afraid it isn't. I believe that you

found a coin near the Eiffel Tower this

afternoon.

>> That's where I saw him. Well, I dropped

that coin and it is of the utmost

importance that I get it back and I'm

quite prepared to pay you for it.

>> Why?

>> Well, I can't explain now, but uh that

is Inspector's Trade from Scotland Yard

and that coin is very important to him

in the solving of a case.

>> Scotland Yard?

>> Uh yes, it's the same thing as

assurityity.

>> I'm not too sure what you're talking

about, but if it's the coin you want so

badly, I'll give it to you

here.

>> Why, that's it. Yeah. Give it to me. Be

careful, Austral. Don't forget they're

watching.

>> Well, we've got the coin. They've got

us.

>> Tell me, Mel, how long would it take for

the police to get here from

headquarters?

>> The few times they came here, they seem

to come very quickly.

>> Good. Well, now we send for how? Well,

you heard what he said. They've men all

over the street,

>> but not many in here. We'll start a

riot.

>> A what riot?

I see. And the riot brings the police.

>> Yes, if we can keep it up long enough.

>> Excuse me, Madame.

>> All my life I've wanted to do something

like this, Holmes, but of course at home

it was impossible.

You didn't want me down.

Well, while we're waiting for the van,

they might give us a bottle of

champagne.

>> Homes.

Holmes, how in the name of fortune we're

going to get out of this?

>> Very simply, Lraine, you must contact

Aerte and explain the whole situation.

After all, you were going to do it in

the first place, weren't you?

I don't know how I'm going to explain

all this in my report to Scotland Yard.

Maybe I can join the Foreign Legion and

never go back. That would do it,

wouldn't it?

Hello. Come on. I know. I know.

Heat. Heat.

You are
