[Applause]

I won't forget that morning not if I

live to be a hundred I counted the men

as they marched out of the yard they'd

hardly slept for weeks we have the CID

had slept even less for the nightmare

that kept us awake was all the same

nightmare that's why we weren't

surprised when the Commissioner asked is

up to the conference room for a bit of a

talk he'd talk to us plenty we knew that

they didn't help any to know what was

ahead of us

must we have that window open braixen oh

shut it if you want to see for being

enough of a temper without having a

ruddy blast down the back of his neck

gentlemen the commissioner

stuffy in here ECB won't you gentlemen

if you wish to know what able menu are

read any of the works of popular fiction

but glamorize your achievements but

don't I beg of you read the daily papers

they might give you an inferiority

complex I hate to mention it but we are

confronted with a series of the most

atrocious murders since Jack the Ripper

and in the meantime the CID might as

well be playing at shove hate me for all

the good we've accomplished and each of

these red flags scattered through the

city stands for a woman brutally

murdered a woman's terror a woman's

death agony these are no ordinary crimes

these are the works our fiend who kills

first and mutilates afterwards a googol

hex off a part of his victim body and

carries it away with him

I loathe some souvenir of his butchery

three women murdered so far and you

haven't turned in one clue you haven't

given me one lead here you sit and wait

for news of a fourth victim with your

arms folded well we hadn't long to wait

it was down Lambeth Way where a young

woman was hurrying home late last night

she saw something and stopped it was a

constable he spoke to her when he walked

along with her just in case

so I'll go down the stairway to the

basement lunging where she lived I can

only surmise what happened after that

[Music]

my pride in my pocket and went to see

the man had so often helped out

Inspector Lestrade and myself in the

past mr. Sherlock Holmes

if ever a man needed help I did

this makes for inspector for the

fenceless women here in the heart of

London when everyone will the right

forefinger hacked off not hacked

inspector gregson cleanly expertly

severed the work for skilled surgeon

that's our only clue much about the age

of my sisters go is there no way of

stopping this mr. Holmes yes there's a

way somehow finger did this I promise I

promise we have nothing to go on that's

the rotten part of it they can't get far

without knowing the motive and at least

we know what the motives were not it

wasn't robbery of passion thanks Benno

your vengeance because they all came of

totally unrelated families steady

inspector steady sorry mr. Holmes I

don't turn a hair when it's a blood we

can look after himself little slip of a

thing like that yes it's horrible come

on let's get a drink

[Music]

premiere-minister house in Vincents miss

concerta please and a double for my

friend here inspector gregson I think

that's a big man Irish these nobody to

give me a hand with this thing mr.

Holmes was a pleasure to be of help to

Scotland Yard inspector little out of my

line looking for a maniac you know it is

just for the fun of it perhaps just to

get a human finger or four cases

murderer risk capture I stopped him to

secure a thing there what for

oh no he's just a madman perhaps there's

method in his madness the chance to

trace those missing fingers if if we

could just trying the English Channel we

might find a penance well thank you may

keep those mr. Holmes thank you

so George finna give me yes that is

daughter with him don't be so naive

inspector

you know everyone don't you darling

well hardly a week Agard and no you're a

week how best it's gone

[Music]

I collect these things how very quaint

of you there we go yes

are you looking at mr. Holmes looking a

very handsome woman I've wanted purple

but giving an excellent imitation would

you like to come to my fat for an active

lovely idea

wonder where she's taking us to Georgia

panic don't be so naive mr. Holmes

good evening ma'am hello any messages no

ma'am

thank you

drink Scranton one of your nice surprise

yes Moe I say you don't mean it

Brendan's and MA aren't you Crandon yes

ma'am you wouldn't believe the things

she can do it hmm

charming do I am i what a question I

don't find anything really except not

being with you now you really don't want

me to believe that do you

not too seriously good we're both quite

grown up aren't we

quite

you're a tragic random

and lower the lights a little as you

leave

I prefer a more flattering light in any

light would be would I and don't you

know it perhaps I do

Oh priceless woman you wouldn't believe

it but she's absurdly romantic

she loves dreamy music and she thinks

that we but we do do we well it's rather

soothing restful yes and we all need

rest at times like tired children had

played too long you've played with

wooden soldiers I suppose hmm funny

hadn't thought of that for years toy

boats were my special joy anything I

could set afloat anywhere like this and

this

toy boat sailing into the never

Neverland the land of beautiful dream

look look odd isn't it how the light is

reflecting little specks of life like

stars and a slowly moving stream yes I

can tell by the feel of this room

there's been a murder committed here it

may interest you to know my dear fellow

because the other side of that door put

up the stairs that the poor girl was

murdered

Frank's fine what the one thing these

unfortunate victims have in common that

might give us a motive for these murders

there must be something another Jack the

Ripper have you asked me a homicidal

maniac no Watson in the case of Jack the

Ripper there was one thing in common his

victims were all from one walk of life

living in the same section of the city

in this case the murderer chooses his

victims from all walks of life and from

different sections of the city no my

dear fellow this is not the work of a

homicidal maniac it's something

infinitely more sinister the creeps

what I'm convinced that these murders

are only incidental to some larger and

more diabolical scheme maybe but why the

seven fingers the answer to that

question My dear fellow is our only hope

of solving these mysteries yes sister I

am so happy I had such a lovely holiday

at Brighton with you and elf and I'm

looking forward to being with you again

poor little thing sort of raises a lump

in your throat I can picture her sitting

here happily writing this letter and I'm

not bitter realizing that she's shortly

going to her death hello

Gregson oh they want mr. Holmes I've

been looking for you everywhere

what's happened murder an inch away Road

not half an hour ago woman yes on the

right forefinger cut off clean

once I don't know I must see how where

is she

Lydia why Sir George what is it what

happened I don't know

you'll have to help me you've got to

help me but I don't understand listen I

woke up a few minutes ago in a cheap

boardinghouse off Edgware Road I don't

know how I came there I don't know when

the last thing I remember is being here

with you calm yourself Sir George when

did I leave here well it was about it

was 10:45 mum

precisely you seemed forgive me just a

little distressed detached not

interested I thought I'd said something

to offend you I don't remember

I can't remember

tell me has this happened to you before

before well there is such a thing as I'm

usually you know if it was 10:45 when I

left you it was 9:00 this morning when I

woke over 10 hours lost 10 hours that I

can't account for and in my pocket when

I woke I found oh it's not for you of

course it can't be excuse me mum but

there's a man asking to see the

gentleman send him away yes mam no no no

no please

I see him

well delightful room not much like the

place to woke up in this morning you

followed me here

yes are you detective oh no quite the

contrary don't be afraid so George you

know my name oh yes a very old and

highly honored name and being the bearer

of such a name and also a very wealthy

man I thought you might care to possess

yourself this trifle rather than let it

fall into the hands of the police

tis yours if I'm not mistaken the

initials gf where'd you get this it came

out of your pocket I saw it fall which

we never noticed they were very busy

bending over something with a knife

then you put something in your pocket

[Music]

come along come along come along

how many more talismans I tell you

you're missing a treat this is delicious

little jam tarts to follow don't you

tempted hmm you and your fleshpots tell

me since it's good for the brain

brains happen to me you realize that a

day a whole day and a night of gun vices

that festive affair and Edgware Road I'm

as much in the dark as ever

hello here comes a cloud to miss I'm

very much mistaken

well Tector they attractive

obviously she left home under the stress

of some very great emotion how do you

know we're just wearing any gloves

starting a mission on a young lady of

fashion she didn't put a coat on open

car to el amor there's something in

their bed she wants to show me what

makes your sugar bag doesn't match her

dress indicating was picked for size

rather than style accommodate some bulky

object

base bells elemental money fellow well

that's interesting

what is good cab tell you an empty house

one day he's holiday here Oh wouldn't

you

No yes mrs. Hudson it's a young lady

said most urgent I was gonna come in

good items mr. Holmes

yes this is my friend dr. Watson how do

you do mr. Holmes you must excuse me

please

yes well won't you sit down come along

man it's quite all right

I try to control yourself miss vinegar

with friends you know my name no magic I

assure you I've often seen your picture

though the daughter of Sir George petty

can't you yes it's about my father that

I what about your father miss Vinick oh

I don't know what to do

he's always been the nicest dearest

person only since mother died yes we

know so I didn't think anything of it

when he was a whale night before last

but he didn't come home until yesterday

at tea time it didn't come in for dinner

at all just paced up and down in the

library hour after hour I begged him to

let me in but he wouldn't steady a

steady now take your time I couldn't

sleep a wink last night

then I started hearing things hearing

things what sort of things I heard

someone in the garden underneath my

window then I saw a figure moving down

the garden part and I recognised my

father stealing for his own garden like

a thief he had a spade in his hand and

he stopped by the greenhouse where he

started to dig this morning at daybreak

I I stole out into the garden and I

found this

a finger

a human finger thing up Scotland Jerry

Watson asked him to get hold of

inspector Gregson and tell him to meet

us Francis George Phoenix has Kingston

operator get me Scotland Yard quick

thank you I got your message mr. Howe

she has indeed dad may I come in dad

you're mine please do thank you

what's the quick dead

what do you make of it doctor shut the

back between the second and third ribs

bullet sound doubtedly I penetrated the

heart look at the pad marks on his coat

I was afraid of this what do you mean

don't you remember the man in the cab

who followed mr. Pinnock to Baker Street

well you don't think he had anything do

you think it's reasonable to assume that

he tipped off someone that I've been

sent for so George has obviously been

murdered to keep him from telling me

what he knew I was the weapon used

murder came in through those French

windows the mud from the garden he

brought in on his boots so George must

have surprised the intruder past the

room to him here Apollo's become Terrill

but from the location of the wound I'd

say that he turned his back for a moment

and as he turned was placed between his

ribs and one muffled shot fired and you

mean to say kept on going even after he

was shot there's no doubt about it

look there the trail of blood leads us

back to the disk I know he was trying to

summon help poacher I don't think so

Watson there's the bell for the far

place no you'll notice from the trail of

blood but Sir George made straight to

this desk here I wonder one thing he was

desperately anxious to get hello his

right hands clinched for you natural

yeah agony the left hand lies open why

only one hand clenched in the de verga

Navy the right hand then here is the

desk please no bed if Sir George took

something off this disk something so

important that he spilled his last drop

of blood to get it I want to know what

it is

nothing but an ordinary match folder

where does that lead us I imagine to

something very important rigsum this

match folders from Pembroke house why

shouldn't it be he was there you know we

saw him yesterday

yes but the effort he made after he was

shocked to get hold of this match folder

it's just possible he wanted someone to

remember Pembroke house his wish to

recall it to someone who saw it there

someone who like ourselves saw him with

a woman

come in dr. Watson

this came by hand for mr. Holmes not ten

minutes ago thank you that would be the

report from the Georges Bank don't you

remember his daughter told us that he

just closed his account had it looked

into it once hmm

he drew out his in top balance and

cashed into 10,000 pounds yesterday just

after that young woman was murdered what

does that suggest you Watson he paid it

up so much precisely I smelled a faint

sweet odour of blackmail you don't think

he paid it out to someone who saw him

murder of the McClain woman so George

never murdered anyone but he didn't have

that woman's finger and he MZ did have a

lot of care and a lot of cash that's the

terrifying part about Becnel Watson the

victim is afraid to fight the accusation

no matter how false once the accusation

is made name is smeared and sometimes

his life is ruined

well George didn't commit these murders

what theme did I rather think they're

not the work of any one man organization

about killing people and chopping off

their fingers that's possible quite

possible whoever was behind all this

thing must be out of his mind

on the contrary My dear fellow if my

assumptions are correct this little

scheme has behind it the most brilliant

and ruthless intellect the world has

ever known

you don't mean Professor Moriarty I do

steady Holmes you've got him on the

brain this is the third time in as many

months he was suspected him of unsolved

crimes he's dead you know is he is he

you know he is he was hanged in

Montevideo well over a year ago I know

that someone was hanged in Montevideo

under that name but I'll stake my

reputation that Moriarty is alive and

here now in London

hello yes but dr. Watson wait a minute

who me there is this is dr. Watson

speaking no no I'm afraid I've retired I

don't practice anymore

what oh that's a different thing

an emergency case well just me yes yes

well she's not moved remember that

don't touch it till I get there

fractured Kissin in the Carlos mules

heavy woman 14 stone 14 stone person who

would placed herself up on a stool to

feed the canary there ought to be a law

against fat people keep it little Dicky

Birds well so long oh man I stopped you

very long used a bag since I bought

little Amelia what's the name in the

world

an attractive child the name on the

meter media

[Music]

[Music]

stupid about it

[Music]

[Music]

Oh professor my god hey after I wish to

appear inquisitive but do what a man did

it for the pleasure of this visit

Scotland Yard will be interested it's

very convenient for me to have Scotland

Yard think that I'm still dead in

Montevideo I never dreamed of fooling

you thank you

the thought occurs to me mr. Holmes that

there are some advantages in living

within the law they are very comfortably

fixed here aren't you as I get on in

life

the little comforts appeal to me more

and more some are bigger pardon won't

you sit down thank you

[Music]

and now professor Molly Aldi what can I

do for you everything that I have to say

to you was already across my mind and my

answer is no Doug crossed yours

yes final what do you think eyes not

rest until you are hanged for the finger

murders there's no proof you know

another shred well I have you I could

turn you over to the police here and now

you could but if you did you would never

see dr. Watson again oh the telephone

call quite I rather assumed you were

taking some such precaution or I should

have snatched up a revolver and indulged

in a fit if your works when you came in

very smart aren't you not smart enough

or I should have anticipated you'll but

any harm comes to dr. Watson I shall

seek you out I sum up arrest until I

find you and when I do no harm will come

to dr. Watson this time but I can't

answer for the future mr. Holmes I

should strongly advise you to drop this

case don't be silly think it over

we've had many encounters in the past

you hope to place me on the gallows I

tell you I shall never stand upon the

gallows but if you are instrumental in

any way in bringing about my destruction

you will not be alive to enjoy your

satisfaction and we shall walk together

through the gates of eternity and in

happened what a charming picture that

would make this wouldn't it I really

think it might be worth it

shoelaces got me a pair and strong

enough to end yourself how many more

times since I tell you I don't want your

filthy shoelaces all your company

shoelaces impertinence run along my good

man I'll give you in charge shoelaces

captain shoelaces got it yo what's only

got one arm any like that mr. Holmes you

can read as a pitcher in tomorrow's

papers oh maybe I wasn't going I'm just

going out to look for you look funny

what for so you don't think I know my

way about well you're right I don't

blast all practical jokers anyhow yeah

well being a wild goose chase

exactly there's no such number in

McArdle's mules some fools idea of a

joke

did you see anyone I wasn't even there

you know finally I left you for someone

who looks like filler pickings someone

my dear Watson was Professor Moriarty

himself what just called on me why are

you here and you let him girl which was

out of your mind

why well he bluffed me into believing

that he was holding a friend of mine his

hostage and the old who Oh nobody very

important just a fat lazy fellow medical

man I believe medical man do I know I

guess I think you do well a little bit

uh name of Watson who me I'm afraid so

well fella you're a street hawkers job

was to do away with you all in a certain

contingency and you let mariachi go

because of me I had no choice I can't

afford to lose you old fella what do you

know the old chap I must say but well I

wish you'd nabbed him

we shall never fear I know the motive

for the finger murders all I have to

find out now is the method used

blackmail victims method yes how does

money out he get them to the scene of a

crime

how does he plant those severed fingers

on them and how does he scare them into

believing that they may have committed

those atrocious murders themselves

curious very curious curious watch cured

that window in the empty house across

the street there's more front huh what's

wrong with joking well shouldn't it be

open and it wasn't open half an hour ago

I'll stake my life on that Oh

our business it's to see what's the

matter trespassing against the law mmm

so ridiculous waste of time

think about shutting windows at this

hour of the night you better take this

torch look what the dignified job for a

doctor dr. Watson the torch bearer and

what do you propose to do sit in a

comfortable chair pose and read a good

book it's a very good idea yeah it's

very good idea well I pay night watchman

you have a nice read mm-hmm good night

have a good time

[Music]

a merciful

oh I'm better scary little thing to keep

about the house must be the pet

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

well he sits comfortably reading a book

[Music]

you but I found shoot you're saving the

girl not me my dear fellow really the

bust of Julius Caesar incident you may

have noticed that all through the ages

prominent men have prominent noses the

favoring for terrible trouble again with

mrs. Hudson windows smashed plaster all

over the floor

get up you Corporal Williams Middlesex

regiment discharge from the Army is

physically unfit yeah people seem in

order now Co problems we've seen service

in the Far East NGO they East I thought

so

look at his complexion Watson yellow is

seven he's been taking at a Brian cure

for malaria sniper ancho sniper hmm why

did you try to kill me I had to kill him

I had to oh snap out of it stop it what

he's shamming the reasons who told you

to kill me she told me she told you she

told me I couldn't miss well luckily you

did miss you murderer he's no murderer

Watson listen cockerel Williams she told

you you had to do it didn't she I had to

do it but I got it got what the method

used in the finger murders well what is

it hypnotism my dear fellow hypnotism

and it wasn't against his nature and

that's the devilish part of it

they picked a man for that purpose whose

job was sniping who are they

professor Murray out his finger

murderers William spoke of a woman I

think you will find that she asked him

home tonight for a drink

nice quiet rooms soft lights music

they've got it all pet mr. Holmes

what's the lady look like up 30 nice

figure

blonde lustrous eyes oh really got a

phone number

Williams will give us her address the

captain Gregson don't let anyone come

here him he's our key witness in the

finger murders well I hope you're

guessing right mr. Holmes

get up Williams now go with inspector

Gregson anybody tells you come on ring

me as soon as it comes to himself with

it I will well if you believe that full

of Williams was hypnotized I suppose you

think Sir George Finnick was hypnotized

too yes I'm quite sure of it

why didn't these people make Sir George

do the murder himself because they

didn't want to get him hanged yeah

the one at the blackmailer who do you

think the actual murder is what am i a

dis gang a diabolic hiss simple

technique kill a woman why cut off the

fingers My dear fellow don't you

understand a severed finger is what

links the blackmail victim to the murder

he wakes finest a grisly thing in his

pocket doesn't know how I got there

he's no idea that he's been hypnotized

for all he knows he may have committed

the atrocious crime during some dreadful

lapse of sanity that state when he's

utterly demoralized he may let's take

over it undoubtedly you see they swear

that they saw him commit the murder and

being human the victim will pay anything

rather than stand trial on a charge that

will make his very name Wilson

any possible explanation do you think

the hypnotist is that woman with the

blond hair lustrous Isaac when you

invent it I didn't inventor I saw her

well if you talking about that woman

idea what

hmm was with Sir George when he left

pembroke house i saw her there i shall

see her again and williams will lead me

to her that's why it's so important to

keep him safe he will identify her

well yes inspected vixen what okay every

constable in the district yes I'll be

over at once

watch happen Williams is missing great

cop come on Laurie crash to the fixin's

car during the confusion Williams

disappeared escape no kidnapped anything

is possible

Williams dead you see anything is

possible

oh good morning professor Moriarty you

startled me I'm dressing another dolly a

dear little nurse is there anything

wrong with your finger just a splinter

nasty things splinters most trying one

can't be too careful but I'll get it out

for you I have the very instrument sharp

enough to splitter here put those tools

away until they're needed but they're

not instruments put them away is Lydia

in yes but really you should let me get

dressed

Holmes and Watson just at Baker Street

when there's not loud

Mesmer Club the meeting place of all the

top hypnotist in London do you suppose

that mr. Holmes is onto our method it is

suspects it's merely a suspicion it's

our business to see that it ends there I

hope you're right

William has passed away before he could

talk remember what do you want me to do

go to the Mesmer Club meet Holmes and

induce him to come back here isn't that

a bit dangerous they were a meeting with

Sherlock Holmes is potentially dangerous

however you say he didn't see your face

at Pennbrook house and how would you

suggest I get mr. Holmes to accompany me

here kidnap him

Oh No Holmes has one weakness his

insatiable curiosity if you can arouse

that you can lead him anywhere it's up

to you to take advantage of any

opportunity that may arise

this way please gentlemen I'll tell dr.

Onslow that you're here thank you

mumbo-jumbo

oh now Watson as a medical man you must

admit that hypnotism has its place in

modern science that may be but 90% of

hypnotist the crooks are the worst kind

nothing wrong a lot of charlatans

exploiting weak willed morons

huh doctor Onslow I believe happy to

meet you mr. Holmes your brother Mycroft

suggested I might be have helped you

he's a valued member of our little group

of charlatans and crooks I'm friend dr.

Watson Oh delighted Wanda now you see

little experimental session at this very

moment if you'd care to join us very

instructive oh thank you of hypnotism as

we now call it is conceded by

innumerable physicians especially is a

value in surgical cases where the

administration of local or of general

anaesthetic is inadvisable advisable

poppycock for the sake of late comers I

may say that I have placed this subject

under profound hypnosis in this

condition he can feel no pain even under

applications which normally would be

excruciating

you excuse me busy Carter you were

having a peaceful sleep you feel nothing

your arms and your hands are without

sensation Mowbray the long needle

gotta give me your right hand

as you observe the needle has been

thrust completely through the subjects

hand no feeling no pain

this lack of feeling is the one

infallible test of profound hypnosis

nonsense fill us full of drugs

definitely not wake up Carter wake up

you'll feel well and rested remember no

pain anywhere wake up wake up

I say when you're gonna begin all

through Carter stand up this way sir and

these all the people that come here no

others keep dropping in all the time I

suppose it's alright for those who

believe if and of course I'm a

professional man myself then you don't

believe in hypnotism dr. Watson why

don't deny there are certain types of

hysterical people minded people who go

on a few point your finger at them but

anyone with a with an ounce of character

I liked you are you see right through

our little artifice is don't you right

through my dear sir right through itself

but with the feeble-minded as you say

step over here let me show you how

easily we charlatans uh take advantage

of its wonderful the attraction on the

feeble-minded of course the continuous

motion if they just let themselves

follow it of course you could stare at

it till doomsday dr. Watson with no

effect at all still it might make you a

little drowsy like the white ribbon of

road at night when you're driving the

rhythm

is smooth unbroken and the road goes on

and on round and round

always the same winding and winding and

you're drowsy you're tired let the road

come in to you as it where the long road

the smooth road the road to sleep sleep

[Music]

open your eyes stand up turn around and

now dr. Watson you're on a holiday in

Scotland the country is amazingly

beautiful we're coming to a stream it

isn't deep better take your shoes and

socks off

roll up your trouser that will do the

other leg is waterproof around mine the

pebbles

yeah I see what'd I tell you didn't work

with me why nobody was allowed some

carrot what's in she's here Oh woman

you're looking for yes I'm gonna meet

her

perhaps I can induce her to take me to

Murray out here do you think it's wise

Holmes may not be wise but it's

essential after all I've held me on with

Moriarty in the past but isn't it

dangerous she might be a hypnotist my

room isn't stronger than hers I deserve

to be hypnotized I feel I must protest

dr. Onslow I was told this was a

gathering of serious students of a great

science and I find myself in a company

of buffoons Oh Jim man it's an S Dale

brain were those men martyrs for the

truth Jimmy laughs of your childish

cruel tricks I must say I'm in complete

agreement with you Madame this was most

unnecessary performance dr. anslo beg

your pardon sir

my name is Holmes Sherlock Holmes at

your service madam Thank You mr. Holmes

I'm afraid I've created a rather

embarrassing situation but you see I'm

interested in the serious study of

hypnotism so am i - perhaps we have

something in common mr. homn perhaps we

have do join me for a cocktail of Pemba

cows I should be delighted good

thank you

I didn't know there was such a present

place in London it was so nice of you to

suggest our coming here I thought a

little picking up and do is good you

mean you thought I loved pretend I like

the way you look

thank you I suppose I did lose my head

low at the mez McClaren

but you see hypnotism is almost a

religion with me I know so well what it

can do to help heal and I can't bear to

see it used for trivial purposes I know

very little about it that's when I went

to the MS McLeod

you see another puzzle just now with a

case that I'm working on how fascinating

tell me about it it's the murder of Sir

George panic Finnick

who's he quite a well-known again oh now

I come to think of it last time I saw

Sir George was here at Pennbrook house

strange yes isn't it

he was sitting I believe he was sitting

at this very table cigarette thanks do

go on there was a charming lady with him

he was lighting a cigarette

charming did you see her face no where's

not really her back how an enterprise in

our view this wasn't it great I'm

getting a little older

I shouldn't say so that's nice of you

still the first time in my life I've got

hold of a case that's beyond me

I'm actually losing sleep over it you

know mr. Holmes I believe I could help

you really I should be very grateful

you're amused Nelly skeptical how would

you go about it I've your tip noticing

more than once in healing not for profit

I'm not a professional but I do think I

could help you if you care to I can't

think of a pleasanter experience

lowlights music is that all there is to

it you must relax mr. Holmes I'm afraid

you're rather difficult subject so I

thought perhaps a little help

materia medica might be advisable drugs

no I'd rather not if you don't mind as a

matter of fact I rather not myself but

shrink not see he practiced in Munich

you know believe that the best means for

difficult subjects you mind well as a

matter of fact I don't approve of

sedatives just as you wish we don't have

to go on with us at all you know wait a

minute wait a minute

alright don't take a chance it's really

quite harmless what is it

cannabis japonica an oriental soporific

you'll feel yourself going drowsy don't

fight it

give in to it because you do want to

sleep you know just fix your eyes on

this one white flower floating on the

water empty your mind of every other

thought follow the motion of the water

so smooth not a ripple waters of

forgetfulness

steady

d strong

strange isn't it how the light is

reflected little specks of light

dressed

finding what you're looking for you'll

find them soon

Keva man

infallible test for profound hypnosis

that'll do doctor he couldn't fake

insensibility to the knife I

congratulate you Lydia turn round mr.

Holmes now walk to the desk

sit down take that pen and write what I

tell you to write I have at last found a

case which I cannot solve

I have outlived my usefulness therefore

I have decided to end my life

sign your name now plot it fold it up

and put it in your pocket come mr.

Sherlock Holmes go out onto the terrace

but it won't look like suicide sir I'm

sorry but Mr Holmes injuries must all be

self-inflicted let's walk on it honest

to home

that's so pleasant here in the garden

just step up here onto the terrace it's

a nice broad Terrace now turn to the

left walk slowly to the end of the

terrace don't stop you must walk to the

end you now en leads to an open doorway

you can pass through it in perfect

safety in the room beyond the doorway

you'll find what you've been looking for

must you drag this on this is the moment

I've been anticipating for a long time

my dear go on mr. Holmes

through the open doorway you will find

the man responsible for the finger

murders in the death of Sir George Feeny

Professor Moriarty Holmes stands - what

a beautiful view Watson I'm quite

enjoying it no you're not you're

hypnotized you're under spell stand

still don't move

Sidney Holmes said he does it stand

perfectly still where you are nonsense

Watson you don't know what you're doing

cause I know what I'm doing not

hypnotized certainly not and get off the

wall you idiot holding the fort until

you arrived what kept you I ran into a

spot of trouble on my way to Scotland

Yard I was arrested for stealing speed

limit their lock seems to holster Holmes

I'd hardly call it luck professor you

see I substituted the drug of my own for

the one that this dear lady pressed on

me you are clever aren't you I dragged

the term although it leaves the subject

conscious renders him quite insensitive

to pain that accounted for my lack of

reaction to dr. Simmons knife well

Brixham quite an impressive haul even

Inspector Lestrade himself couldn't have

done any better

thanks mr. Hall take him away all right

put her in the van I was right mr.

Holmes you are a difficult subject thank

you and now professor our score is

settled

what revoir until I see you on the

gallows the Rope has not been made

that'll go around my neck come on

[Applause]

I'll take care of things mr. homn Thank

You inspector come on an evil man Holmes

but what a horrible death better than me

deserved what are you thinking of I'm

thinking of all the women who can come

and go in safety in the streets of

London tonight stars keep watching their

heavens and in our own little way we to

a friend a privilege to watch over our

city

[Music]
