1
00:01:22,426 --> 00:01:24,336
<i>Victoria Docks. London.</i>

2
00:01:24,494 --> 00:01:27,391
<i>On the 19th of March, 1901, where the
iniquitous Professor James Moriarty,</i>

3
00:01:27,549 --> 00:01:30,079
<i>ruler of England's underworld and veritable
Emperor of international crime,</i>

4
00:01:30,235 --> 00:01:32,105
<i>maintains his secret and impenetrable
headquarters...</i>

5
00:02:09,498 --> 00:02:10,859
Ah, Colonel Moran,

6
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:12,858
you're punctuality use?

7
00:02:13,098 --> 00:02:15,058
Has everything proceeded
according to schedule?

8
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:16,298
Indeed it has.

9
00:02:16,938 --> 00:02:17,898
Number ten:

10
00:02:18,218 --> 00:02:19,658
"Moran to Moriarty

11
00:02:19,898 --> 00:02:22,619
with Brackish cigar case
at midnight exactly."

12
00:02:32,137 --> 00:02:34,859
Perfect!
With one exception...

13
00:02:37,018 --> 00:02:40,098
A trifling one, perhaps.

14
00:02:40,698 --> 00:02:43,818
But I simply do not happen to be
Colonel Moran.

15
00:02:45,898 --> 00:02:46,858
Sherlock Holmes?

16
00:02:47,098 --> 00:02:49,098
At your service.

17
00:02:49,417 --> 00:02:53,338
I can well imagine the profundity of your
disappointment, Professor Moriarty.

18
00:02:53,538 --> 00:02:56,858
And you cannot fail to realise that
there can only be one explanation

19
00:02:57,018 --> 00:03:00,738
for my having successfully penetrated
the most carefully concealed lodgings

20
00:03:00,938 --> 00:03:02,218
in the whole of London.

21
00:03:02,778 --> 00:03:06,058
I observe your choice of decorations
is fully as disagreeable

22
00:03:06,258 --> 00:03:07,738
as your choice of profession.

23
00:03:08,298 --> 00:03:11,459
Where's Colonel Moran?

24
00:03:11,619 --> 00:03:12,699
In custody.

25
00:03:14,619 --> 00:03:19,018
As are Quint, Adelspait,
Stryker and Nickers.

26
00:03:19,177 --> 00:03:22,298
In short, Professor,
your entire organisation here in Britain

27
00:03:22,498 --> 00:03:24,578
is now occupying cells
in Bow Street police station,

28
00:03:24,779 --> 00:03:27,578
and the assassination of Lord Brackish
has failed.

29
00:03:29,579 --> 00:03:32,618
Damn and blast you for
the meddle of the charge, sir.

30
00:03:32,778 --> 00:03:36,058
With your West End ways,
talking down your upper-class nose

31
00:03:36,258 --> 00:03:38,058
and only happy when you're
dressing up as someone else

32
00:03:38,257 --> 00:03:40,338
as though life was
some schoolboy lark.

33
00:03:40,539 --> 00:03:41,898
Blast you, Holmes!

34
00:03:42,098 --> 00:03:43,018
Blast ya!

35
00:03:43,177 --> 00:03:45,578
I suggest you attempt
to get a hold of yourself.

36
00:03:46,459 --> 00:03:49,338
Your rage is beginning to
affect your speech.

37
00:03:54,539 --> 00:03:56,858
Did you come alone tonight?

38
00:03:58,218 --> 00:03:59,579
Since you ask,

39
00:04:00,138 --> 00:04:01,098
yes.

40
00:04:01,338 --> 00:04:02,619
I thought as much.

41
00:04:03,338 --> 00:04:05,018
I know your methods by now.

42
00:04:05,818 --> 00:04:08,618
Your inability to resist the
tour-dey-force,

43
00:04:09,018 --> 00:04:10,459
<i>the coup de grass.</i>

44
00:04:11,018 --> 00:04:14,058
The necessity of nourishing your ego,
unassisted

45
00:04:14,378 --> 00:04:15,738
Atrocious.

46
00:04:16,619 --> 00:04:18,058
Along with your French.

47
00:04:18,978 --> 00:04:21,498
Yes, well my only regret is
I must leave alone.

48
00:04:21,978 --> 00:04:23,658
Your cohorts refused to implicate you,

49
00:04:23,858 --> 00:04:25,659
and Colonel Moran
fears for his life to do so.

50
00:04:25,819 --> 00:04:27,138
But, be warned, Professor,

51
00:04:27,298 --> 00:04:30,858
your people have been captured
and you are alone.

52
00:04:31,018 --> 00:04:33,058
Alone and helpless!

53
00:04:33,257 --> 00:04:34,618
And I will have you yet!

54
00:04:36,058 --> 00:04:37,258
Mr Holmes,

55
00:04:38,138 --> 00:04:40,619
your interference in my affairs
has gradually grown

56
00:04:40,818 --> 00:04:43,698
from mild annoyance
to insufferable impertinence.

57
00:04:43,978 --> 00:04:47,538
Tonight's actions have
finally rendered you intolerable to me.

58
00:04:47,738 --> 00:04:48,778
Really?

59
00:04:49,178 --> 00:04:50,298
Only tonight?

60
00:04:51,258 --> 00:04:53,578
You've been intolerable to me
much longer than that!

61
00:04:53,738 --> 00:04:55,978
Would you be good enough to observe...

62
00:04:56,418 --> 00:04:57,738
This.

63
00:05:06,297 --> 00:05:07,578
And this.

64
00:05:12,098 --> 00:05:13,098
This.

65
00:05:17,018 --> 00:05:18,938
Not to mention, this.

66
00:05:22,138 --> 00:05:24,938
Mr Holmes, there are more than
a dozen ways to kill a man in this room.

67
00:05:25,138 --> 00:05:26,258
And that trapdoor into the Thames

68
00:05:26,459 --> 00:05:28,698
will remove all traces of
the man's ever having been here.

69
00:05:28,938 --> 00:05:32,459
Do you wonder why I haven't employed
any of these devices against you?

70
00:05:33,018 --> 00:05:34,898
Well, it's not for want of trying.

71
00:05:35,058 --> 00:05:35,978
No.

72
00:05:36,538 --> 00:05:38,218
It's because they don't suit me.

73
00:05:38,538 --> 00:05:39,899
I will destroy you,

74
00:05:40,378 --> 00:05:41,819
but in my fashion.

75
00:05:42,058 --> 00:05:42,978
Will you?

76
00:05:43,178 --> 00:05:44,058
Yes.

77
00:05:44,258 --> 00:05:45,659
I'm going to crush you

78
00:05:46,138 --> 00:05:50,778
so that your humiliation and downfall
will be witnessed by the entire world.

79
00:05:51,178 --> 00:05:52,619
How fascinating.

80
00:05:52,938 --> 00:05:55,417
And just how do you propose to do that?

81
00:05:55,818 --> 00:05:57,418
The crime of the century,

82
00:05:57,658 --> 00:06:00,298
the past century
and all the centuries to come

83
00:06:00,498 --> 00:06:01,578
is in preparation.

84
00:06:01,978 --> 00:06:03,778
It will go forward as planned,

85
00:06:03,978 --> 00:06:07,018
despite the temporary set-back
your inteference has caused me.

86
00:06:07,178 --> 00:06:09,818
It will go forward.
It will take place.

87
00:06:09,978 --> 00:06:13,178
And, Mr Holmes, it will take place
before your very eyes

88
00:06:13,377 --> 00:06:15,178
and you'll be powerless to prevent it.

89
00:06:15,578 --> 00:06:17,018
The world will gape

90
00:06:17,258 --> 00:06:18,539
at its immensity.

91
00:06:19,018 --> 00:06:21,778
And when the world discovers
it occurred within arm's length

92
00:06:21,978 --> 00:06:23,898
of the incomparable Sherlock Holmes,

93
00:06:24,098 --> 00:06:26,458
the world will sneer,
the world will ridicule.

94
00:06:26,618 --> 00:06:29,098
The world will hound you into oblivion.

95
00:06:29,659 --> 00:06:33,898
And that is why I haven't employed any
of the means at my disposal in this room.

96
00:06:34,459 --> 00:06:36,218
I have other plans for you,

97
00:06:36,539 --> 00:06:38,098
Mr Sherlock Holmes.

98
00:06:38,258 --> 00:06:39,418
Have you?

99
00:06:40,538 --> 00:06:43,898
I, on the other hand, have
the same plan I've always had for you.

100
00:06:44,698 --> 00:06:47,898
To see you swing
at the end of a hangman's rope!

101
00:06:48,217 --> 00:06:50,137
And I have no doubt

102
00:06:50,378 --> 00:06:53,418
that mine will be
the plan that prevails.

103
00:06:54,779 --> 00:06:56,938
It's a pity about the chandelier.

104
00:06:57,178 --> 00:07:00,458
It was the only item in the room
that showed the merest modicum of style.

105
00:07:01,898 --> 00:07:03,337
Don't disturb yourself.

106
00:07:03,658 --> 00:07:05,018
I'll show myself out.

107
00:08:25,418 --> 00:08:27,738
Oh, morning, Watson.
Breakfasting?

108
00:08:27,978 --> 00:08:30,698
How'd you work that out, Holmes, eh?

109
00:08:32,337 --> 00:08:34,138
Do you mind awfully, Watson?

110
00:08:34,538 --> 00:08:37,578
You know I have little head for humor
when there's nothing to occupy me

111
00:08:37,738 --> 00:08:42,298
but staring out of rain-streaked windows
at the other side of the street.

112
00:08:44,138 --> 00:08:47,738
It has been three days since I broke
the back of Moriarty's organisation

113
00:08:48,058 --> 00:08:52,618
and there has not been a single letter
or a caller worthy of my attention.

114
00:08:55,978 --> 00:08:57,819
As my official biographer, Watson,

115
00:08:58,018 --> 00:09:02,058
you've precious little with which
to occupy yourself, these days.

116
00:09:02,619 --> 00:09:05,738
You'll soon be afflicted with
the same boredom that I am suffering.

117
00:09:06,057 --> 00:09:08,938
Oh, well, I'm certain things
will change before long, eh, Holmes?

118
00:09:09,178 --> 00:09:10,539
By the 193/»

119
00:09:11,618 --> 00:09:14,458
within a fortnight's time
you'll be gettin' a letter from America.

120
00:09:15,499 --> 00:09:17,258
How on earth do you know that?

121
00:09:18,698 --> 00:09:20,459
Stealing a bit of your thunder,
eh, Holmes?

122
00:09:20,699 --> 00:09:21,819
Mystified you, eh?

123
00:09:22,298 --> 00:09:23,258
Thoroughly.

124
00:09:23,498 --> 00:09:26,619
Well, listen to this,
in the theatrical section,

125
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:29,898
"Our Broadway correspondent reports that
on the 31st of this month

126
00:09:30,098 --> 00:09:33,258
"Daniel Furman's production of Sir Arthur
Pinero's The <i>Second</i> Mrs Tanqueray

127
00:09:33,459 --> 00:09:36,459
"will open at the Empire Theatre
in New York.

128
00:09:36,938 --> 00:09:39,898
"In addition to Mr Kendal, Mr Huntley,
Mr East and Miss Campbell,

129
00:09:40,098 --> 00:09:43,459
"the distinguished cast will include,
in her first non-singin' role..."

130
00:09:43,738 --> 00:09:45,098
Irene Adler.

131
00:09:46,459 --> 00:09:49,258
Dash it all, Holmes.
I was dead set of astonishin' ya.

132
00:09:49,578 --> 00:09:50,739
You have, Watson.

133
00:09:51,098 --> 00:09:54,377
Your ability to extract
the single item of unalloyed interest

134
00:09:54,538 --> 00:09:57,619
from the mass of wordage of The <i>Times</i>
is an extraordinary facility.

135
00:10:03,738 --> 00:10:06,458
She's never failed to send you
first night tickets, eh, Holmes?

136
00:10:08,138 --> 00:10:09,098
Never.

137
00:10:10,058 --> 00:10:12,858
Always row B, seats five and seven.

138
00:10:14,298 --> 00:10:17,417
For the last nine seasons.

139
00:10:22,058 --> 00:10:24,779
One of these days we must find ourselves
in those seats, eh, Watson?

140
00:10:24,938 --> 00:10:27,619
Ho-ho!
- They've gone begging far too long.

141
00:10:27,818 --> 00:10:29,738
Come in.

142
00:10:31,978 --> 00:10:34,538
The post has just come.
- Thank you, Mrs Hudson.

143
00:10:34,698 --> 00:10:36,618
Er, could I make you some hot tea?

144
00:10:36,778 --> 00:10:39,978
Yes, and a slice or two of that gammon
if there's any left.

145
00:10:50,539 --> 00:10:51,459
Watson,

146
00:10:51,659 --> 00:10:53,859
you must apologise
to the trans-Atlantic mail

147
00:10:54,018 --> 00:10:58,378
as your estimate of a fortnight lacks
thirteen days of proving itself accurate.

148
00:10:58,698 --> 00:11:01,178
Row B, as usual, eh Holmes?
Seats fi...

149
00:11:03,018 --> 00:11:03,978
Holmes, what is it?

150
00:11:05,417 --> 00:11:07,579
Well, that's a rum 'un, eh Holmes?

151
00:11:07,818 --> 00:11:09,658
Whatever'd she tear 'em up like that?

152
00:11:10,058 --> 00:11:11,738
Watson, there's not a moment to lose.

153
00:11:12,938 --> 00:11:14,498
We must set out for New York
this very day.

154
00:11:14,699 --> 00:11:17,258
Engage passage immediately.
- Yes, yes, at once.

155
00:11:24,138 --> 00:11:28,618
Waterlook station, driver! We've
forty minutes to catch the boat train.

156
00:11:30,058 --> 00:11:31,859
I am trying
to connect two events

157
00:11:32,018 --> 00:11:34,058
that, by all sense and logic,
cannot be connected.

158
00:11:34,378 --> 00:11:35,858
Truly a futile exercise.

159
00:11:36,058 --> 00:11:37,258
Well, what are they?

160
00:11:38,218 --> 00:11:40,218
My conversation with Moriarty,
three nights ago,

161
00:11:40,418 --> 00:11:42,778
and the receipts of those
shredded theatre tickets, this morning.

162
00:11:42,978 --> 00:11:45,738
How could the one have
the remotest connection with the other?

163
00:11:46,378 --> 00:11:47,739
I don't know, Watson.

164
00:11:48,699 --> 00:11:49,659
I don't know.

165
00:11:49,819 --> 00:11:51,138
And, yet, if I were Moriarty,

166
00:11:51,337 --> 00:11:54,778
and my one unwavering determination
the destruction of Sherlock Holmes,

167
00:11:55,018 --> 00:11:58,858
I would expend every effort
at my command to seek out the...

168
00:11:59,738 --> 00:12:03,898
single, the <i>only</i> chink in his armour,
however small it may be,

169
00:12:04,138 --> 00:12:07,417
and once I had found it,
if it exists at all,

170
00:12:07,659 --> 00:12:10,818
it is there I should thrust with all
the strength and fury I could muster.

171
00:12:11,018 --> 00:12:12,938
"Chink in your armour"?
Rubbish!

172
00:12:13,098 --> 00:12:15,178
There's no such thing
as a chink in your armour.

173
00:12:18,938 --> 00:12:20,138
Isn't there, Watson?

174
00:12:20,778 --> 00:12:21,738
Isn't there?

175
00:12:36,778 --> 00:12:39,138
This'll do very nicely.
Thank you, very much.

176
00:12:39,338 --> 00:12:40,858
Hansom. Hansom!

177
00:12:41,258 --> 00:12:42,418
I say there, hansom.

178
00:12:42,619 --> 00:12:46,058
Handsome is as handsome does, mister,
and you'll do quite nicely.

179
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:48,779
I say! Well, did you hear that, Holmes?
The young lady...

180
00:12:48,978 --> 00:12:51,178
Off you go, off you go. Shoo, shoo...
- Oh, well!

181
00:12:51,499 --> 00:12:52,938
Let that be a lesson to you, Watson.

182
00:12:53,258 --> 00:12:57,018
They don't have hansom cabs
in New York, just cabs.

183
00:12:57,738 --> 00:12:59,658
Cab! Over here, my man.

184
00:13:00,058 --> 00:13:01,098
You see, Watson?

185
00:13:03,098 --> 00:13:05,738
Get our cases aboard
as quickly as you can will you?

186
00:13:05,898 --> 00:13:09,338
The Empire Theatre, and don't
spare your steed. Jump in, Watson.

187
00:13:10,778 --> 00:13:13,338
There we are.

188
00:13:30,459 --> 00:13:32,699
Ah, I make it just on half-past three.

189
00:13:33,098 --> 00:13:33,978
Eight, Holmes.

190
00:13:34,619 --> 00:13:36,218
What on earth are you talking about?

191
00:13:36,378 --> 00:13:37,899
Half-past eight, see.

192
00:13:38,378 --> 00:13:40,378
Watson, we are on New York time.

193
00:13:40,779 --> 00:13:41,739
Oh.

194
00:13:42,378 --> 00:13:45,418
Oh, well I've always found Grenwich time
perfectly adequate to me needs.

195
00:13:45,579 --> 00:13:47,417
I see now reason for changing it now.

196
00:13:48,778 --> 00:13:49,978
Hello! What's this?

197
00:13:50,459 --> 00:13:53,458
Wooah!
How do I get through here?

198
00:13:53,659 --> 00:13:54,619
You can't.

199
00:13:55,178 --> 00:13:58,459
Go around the side
behind the LaFayette Square.

200
00:13:58,698 --> 00:14:00,018
That'll take a half an hour.

201
00:14:00,218 --> 00:14:01,499
Driver, what is this?

202
00:14:01,898 --> 00:14:03,418
It's the new subway, sir.

203
00:14:03,659 --> 00:14:04,619
<i>Subway'?</i>

204
00:14:04,818 --> 00:14:06,058
What's a subway?

205
00:14:06,298 --> 00:14:07,938
It's their word for 'Underground'.

206
00:14:08,098 --> 00:14:10,338
Now that he mentions it,
I recall reading of its contruction.

207
00:14:10,539 --> 00:14:12,098
New York's first, I understand.

208
00:14:12,298 --> 00:14:14,779
You mean to tell me they don't have
an underground railway here?

209
00:14:15,658 --> 00:14:18,218
Stands to reason, doesn't it?
They don't have hansoms!

210
00:14:19,178 --> 00:14:20,578
Driver, where are we now?

211
00:14:20,778 --> 00:14:23,258
8th Avenue, sir.
Almost at 34th Street

212
00:14:23,658 --> 00:14:25,578
Good. Come along, Watson.

213
00:14:26,057 --> 00:14:29,418
The Empire Theatre
is on 39th and Broadway.

214
00:14:29,658 --> 00:14:31,258
The walk will do us good.

215
00:14:31,898 --> 00:14:35,178
Driver, would you be kind enough to
get our cases to the Algonquin Hotel

216
00:14:35,378 --> 00:14:36,978
the best way you are able?

217
00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:40,539
I'm sure that this will take care
of any inconvenience.

218
00:14:40,699 --> 00:14:41,618
Thank you.

219
00:14:41,819 --> 00:14:46,058
Come along, Watson, we walk this distance
ten fold on a single afternoon in London.

220
00:14:57,258 --> 00:14:59,858
Heads up, mister!
- I say, look here...

221
00:15:00,018 --> 00:15:01,177
Come along, Watson.

222
00:15:01,658 --> 00:15:05,098
To think we fought a war to keep
these barbarians in the Commonwealth.

223
00:15:11,498 --> 00:15:14,138
Watson, see if you can purchase two
tickets for this evening's performance.

224
00:15:14,298 --> 00:15:16,258
I will endeavour to find out
what I can, inside.

225
00:15:16,459 --> 00:15:19,018
Yes, of course.
I'll join you when I've done.

226
00:15:19,898 --> 00:15:21,898
Oh, excuse me, is this a queue?

227
00:15:31,498 --> 00:15:32,458
Yes, sir?

228
00:15:32,938 --> 00:15:34,058
Oh, how do you do?

229
00:15:34,258 --> 00:15:36,138
Is Miss Irene Adler in the theatre,
do you know?

230
00:15:36,338 --> 00:15:37,257
Nobody here but me, sir.

231
00:15:37,459 --> 00:15:39,699
Oh, I must speak with her at once.
Do you know where I might find her?

232
00:15:39,898 --> 00:15:42,778
No-one is to be disturbed
until curtain time. Mr Furman's orders.

233
00:15:42,938 --> 00:15:45,818
This is extremely urgent.
- So are Mr Furman's orders!

234
00:15:46,218 --> 00:15:47,698
Well, do you know her address?

235
00:15:47,898 --> 00:15:50,218
Look, I just finished telling you...
- Yes, quite.

236
00:15:50,778 --> 00:15:53,738
Now, look here, my good me,
when did you last see Miss Adler?

237
00:15:54,779 --> 00:15:56,258
This morning, at line rehearsal.

238
00:15:56,458 --> 00:15:57,417
Was she all right?

239
00:15:57,618 --> 00:15:58,538
Letter perfect.

240
00:15:59,018 --> 00:15:59,978
Was she?

241
00:16:00,539 --> 00:16:02,658
I cannot tell you how relieved I am
to learn that.

242
00:16:02,858 --> 00:16:05,018
I wonder if I might prevail upon you
for a further service?

243
00:16:05,579 --> 00:16:09,178
Would you be so kind as to give Miss Adler
my card directly she gets to the theatre?

244
00:16:09,338 --> 00:16:12,698
Tell her I'm at the Algonquin Hotel and
must speak with her as soon as possible.

245
00:16:13,018 --> 00:16:15,417
I think I can arrange that for you, Mr...

246
00:16:16,058 --> 00:16:17,418
Sherlock Holmes.

247
00:16:18,058 --> 00:16:20,218
You have earned my undying gratitude.

248
00:16:20,458 --> 00:16:21,417
Good afternoon.

249
00:16:21,659 --> 00:16:22,619
Good afternoon, sir.

250
00:16:29,738 --> 00:16:31,258
I say, Holmes.
- Watson,

251
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,459
we have a splendid piece of reassurance.

252
00:16:33,619 --> 00:16:36,178
As late as this morning,
Irene was apparently in good health.

253
00:16:36,338 --> 00:16:38,338
Good!
- And what have you been able to accomplish?

254
00:16:38,499 --> 00:16:40,858
It's a rum go, Holmes.
Beastly rum go.

255
00:16:41,098 --> 00:16:44,699
See those? Last two in the house.
Fella in the window says.

256
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:46,298
Row B.

257
00:16:47,658 --> 00:16:49,018
Seats five and seven.

258
00:16:50,377 --> 00:16:51,978
Er, don't bother, Holmes.

259
00:16:52,458 --> 00:16:54,298
I already questioned the fella.

260
00:16:54,859 --> 00:16:55,778
You have?

261
00:16:55,938 --> 00:16:57,978
Those tickets were purchased
a fortnight ago.

262
00:16:58,458 --> 00:16:59,578
By Irene Adler.

263
00:16:59,898 --> 00:17:01,978
But were sent to me.
- Exactly.

264
00:17:02,618 --> 00:17:05,458
Then why are they here?
- They were returned.

265
00:17:05,898 --> 00:17:07,098
When.
- Earlier this afternoon.

266
00:17:07,258 --> 00:17:09,098
By whom?
- Er, a stranger.

267
00:17:09,258 --> 00:17:11,818
The chap at the box office
never seen him before, he says.

268
00:17:12,378 --> 00:17:14,138
Holmes, what do you make of it all?

269
00:17:15,898 --> 00:17:17,938
Watson, my apprehensions return.

270
00:17:18,858 --> 00:17:21,698
Those tickets sent to me in Baker Street
were forgeries.

271
00:17:21,978 --> 00:17:23,978
These were intercepted
before they could reach me.

272
00:17:24,178 --> 00:17:25,258
Whatever for?

273
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,898
A phrase continues to ring in my ears:

274
00:17:28,098 --> 00:17:29,778
"The crime of the century,

275
00:17:29,938 --> 00:17:32,098
"the past century
and for all centuries to come,

276
00:17:32,298 --> 00:17:33,738
"is now in preparation."

277
00:17:34,298 --> 00:17:35,658
Moriarty said that to me.

278
00:17:35,858 --> 00:17:38,538
You mean he's behind it?
Behind whatever it is that's going on?

279
00:17:38,698 --> 00:17:41,738
"It will take place
before your very eyes

280
00:17:41,938 --> 00:17:44,138
"and you will be powereless
to prevent it."

281
00:17:45,058 --> 00:17:47,058
Watson, there is devilry afoot.

282
00:17:47,258 --> 00:17:48,738
I feel that in my very marrow.

283
00:17:48,898 --> 00:17:50,218
What're we to do about it?

284
00:17:50,819 --> 00:17:53,579
Until it chooses to
reveal its nature to us

285
00:17:53,818 --> 00:17:55,738
there is nothing we can do,

286
00:17:56,178 --> 00:17:57,738
except dress,

287
00:17:57,938 --> 00:18:00,337
dine and attend this theatre tonight.

288
00:18:21,258 --> 00:18:23,178
Is he in?
- Upstairs.

289
00:18:26,298 --> 00:18:28,138
Come in.

290
00:18:36,058 --> 00:18:37,739
Have you got something for me, Skipper?

291
00:18:38,458 --> 00:18:39,417
He's here.

292
00:18:48,177 --> 00:18:49,778
Indeed he is.
- Yes, sir.

293
00:18:49,978 --> 00:18:51,818
All right, back to your post.
You know what to do.

294
00:18:52,018 --> 00:18:53,018
Yes, sir.

295
00:19:00,779 --> 00:19:01,739
Act one,

296
00:19:01,978 --> 00:19:03,499
the cast is assembled,

297
00:19:04,058 --> 00:19:05,337
the play begins.

298
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:26,818
Holmes?

299
00:19:27,098 --> 00:19:28,058
Yes, Watson?

300
00:19:28,298 --> 00:19:30,778
There's not a Red Indian
in the entire place.

301
00:19:32,459 --> 00:19:34,378
I had noticed.

302
00:19:36,818 --> 00:19:38,417
They
should have started by now.

303
00:19:38,619 --> 00:19:40,458
We didn't have
to rush dinner, after all.

304
00:19:41,659 --> 00:19:42,938
Ten minutes late.

305
00:19:52,499 --> 00:19:54,378
Isn't it time they started?

306
00:19:57,337 --> 00:19:58,297
Oh, yes.

307
00:19:58,778 --> 00:20:00,859
Time they were getting on with it
and all that, eh?

308
00:20:03,098 --> 00:20:04,058
Ah!

309
00:20:04,337 --> 00:20:06,818
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm Mr Daniel Furman.

310
00:20:06,978 --> 00:20:09,018
I beg your indulgence, please.

311
00:20:09,178 --> 00:20:11,898
Due to the sudden indisposition
of Miss Irene Adler

312
00:20:12,578 --> 00:20:13,498
Watson, quick!

313
00:20:13,818 --> 00:20:16,218
Excuse me.

314
00:20:16,619 --> 00:20:17,579
...that this performance...

315
00:20:17,739 --> 00:20:19,018
Some people
just don't know how to behave.

316
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,938
...will be played by May Robeson.

317
00:20:21,098 --> 00:20:22,378
Thank you.

318
00:20:27,739 --> 00:20:30,538
I demand to be shown to Miss Adler at once.
My name is Sherlock Holmes.

319
00:20:30,698 --> 00:20:32,618
Oh, Mr Holmes.
Thank heaven your here.

320
00:20:32,819 --> 00:20:33,619
Where is she?

321
00:20:33,779 --> 00:20:34,858
So far as I know, at home.

322
00:20:35,018 --> 00:20:36,578
I must know exactly what happened.

323
00:20:36,779 --> 00:20:39,659
All I can tell you is that when she
didn't appear after half hour was called

324
00:20:39,819 --> 00:20:41,698
I sent a boy a call boy to her house.
- And?

325
00:20:41,898 --> 00:20:43,698
He returned with this.
- Let me see that.

326
00:20:45,058 --> 00:20:48,618
As you can see, it just says she's sick
and will be unable to perform.

327
00:20:48,859 --> 00:20:52,138
With a full house and the curtain
already delayed fifteen minutes

328
00:20:52,298 --> 00:20:56,218
I had no alternative but to go out front
and make the announcement you just heard.

329
00:20:56,418 --> 00:20:59,337
Mr Holmes, can you shed any light
on such behaviour?

330
00:20:59,539 --> 00:21:03,258
This is absolutely unlike Miss Adler.
- I can shed some light Mr Furman.

331
00:21:04,058 --> 00:21:06,578
This note was not written by
someone suddenly taken ill.

332
00:21:06,778 --> 00:21:09,898
It was written by a person in
the clutches of the most extreme terror.

333
00:21:10,058 --> 00:21:11,459
Well, look at the hasty scrawl.

334
00:21:11,619 --> 00:21:13,819
The hand shaking so it's scarcely
able to hold the pen.

335
00:21:13,979 --> 00:21:19,098
In fact, here, here and here the pen
has actually dropped from her hand.

336
00:21:19,818 --> 00:21:21,698
I must know Miss Adler's address at once.

337
00:21:21,858 --> 00:21:23,539
14 Gramercy Park, but...

338
00:21:23,738 --> 00:21:25,579
There's no time for buts.
Come Watson!

339
00:21:28,058 --> 00:21:30,938
<i>Katie won't turn up now.
Hmm, hardly.</i>

340
00:21:31,178 --> 00:21:33,018
<i>Then you two shall hear it.</i>

341
00:21:33,258 --> 00:21:37,418
<i>Doctor, Frank, this is the last time
we are to meet in these rooms.</i>

342
00:21:37,979 --> 00:21:40,058
<i>"The last time"? Really?</i>

343
00:21:51,098 --> 00:21:53,018
Good evening, I must speak
to your mistress at once

344
00:21:53,178 --> 00:21:55,018
I'm sorry, sir,
Miss Adler is not at home...

345
00:21:55,218 --> 00:21:56,619
To Sherlock Holmes?

346
00:21:57,018 --> 00:21:59,898
Step aside. I must have that assurance
from the lady's lips herself.

347
00:22:00,058 --> 00:22:01,458
Irene, are you there?

348
00:22:01,618 --> 00:22:02,939
I'm here Sherlock.

349
00:22:07,018 --> 00:22:08,178
It's all right, Heller.

350
00:22:08,378 --> 00:22:10,258
Mr Holmes and Dr Watson
may come up.

351
00:22:10,459 --> 00:22:11,498
Yes, madam.

352
00:22:23,499 --> 00:22:24,459
In here.

353
00:22:26,938 --> 00:22:30,218
May I ring for some refreshment?
Some coffee? Brandy?

354
00:22:30,698 --> 00:22:32,138
Would you care to sit down?

355
00:22:33,258 --> 00:22:35,298
Sherlock, you're...
You're looking quite well.

356
00:22:35,498 --> 00:22:37,298
You've hardly changed
in the years since we've met.

357
00:22:37,499 --> 00:22:39,778
And Dr Watson are you quite well also?
- Thank you, dear lady.

358
00:22:39,938 --> 00:22:42,018
Irene, we were at the theatre tonight.

359
00:22:42,218 --> 00:22:43,417
Did the performance go on?

360
00:22:43,659 --> 00:22:45,098
With your understudy.

361
00:22:45,498 --> 00:22:48,619
The audience was naturally
disappointed at the substitution.

362
00:22:49,018 --> 00:22:51,258
Miss Robeson is a very promising
fine young performer.

363
00:22:53,418 --> 00:22:56,218
What is the indisposition
of which you're suffering?

364
00:22:56,418 --> 00:22:57,298
A triffling matter...

365
00:22:57,499 --> 00:22:59,898
Irene, why did you
not go to the theatre tonight?

366
00:23:00,539 --> 00:23:02,098
Did Mr Furman not explain...?

367
00:23:02,298 --> 00:23:05,098
I insist I be spared this masquerade.

368
00:23:05,579 --> 00:23:08,377
It demeans a friendship of
almost ten years standing.

369
00:23:09,498 --> 00:23:11,818
Irene, it is time for the truth!

370
00:23:12,538 --> 00:23:15,898
What is it that holds you in this grip
of almost unbearable terror?

371
00:23:16,138 --> 00:23:17,578
What is the message you are awaiting?

372
00:23:17,778 --> 00:23:19,858
And why are you prepared to
remain up the entire night

373
00:23:20,058 --> 00:23:22,377
and not leave this house
until you receive it?

374
00:23:23,579 --> 00:23:25,178
I should have remembered.

375
00:23:25,658 --> 00:23:27,699
One cannot pretend
in front of Mr Sherlock Holmes.

376
00:23:27,898 --> 00:23:30,018
Holmes what do you mean by a message,
about staying up all night,

377
00:23:30,178 --> 00:23:31,218
about leaving the house?

378
00:23:31,378 --> 00:23:32,938
It's simplicity itself, Watson.

379
00:23:33,098 --> 00:23:36,138
Irene has cancelled the
most important night of her career.

380
00:23:36,377 --> 00:23:37,738
And look at the fire.

381
00:23:37,978 --> 00:23:40,058
Made up to last until morning.

382
00:23:40,938 --> 00:23:42,058
And that curtain.

383
00:23:42,619 --> 00:23:44,218
You see it hangs untidily

384
00:23:44,458 --> 00:23:48,378
Again and again it has been thrust
to once side so that the street below...

385
00:23:51,258 --> 00:23:53,178
The window is unlatched.

386
00:23:54,618 --> 00:23:58,539
As I say someone has repeatedly stepped
out here looking in all directions.

387
00:23:59,258 --> 00:24:00,459
Waiting.

388
00:24:00,778 --> 00:24:02,458
Waiting for what?

389
00:24:06,538 --> 00:24:07,579
Watson,

390
00:24:07,739 --> 00:24:11,579
not a single piece of furniture in this
room bears the imprint of a human form.

391
00:24:12,618 --> 00:24:15,898
Irene, you have spent the time,
since at least eight this evening,

392
00:24:16,098 --> 00:24:18,378
pacing up and down,
sitting only at that desk over there

393
00:24:18,579 --> 00:24:20,138
to write the note to Mr Furman.

394
00:24:21,338 --> 00:24:22,618
What is this?

395
00:24:26,858 --> 00:24:28,058
Who is this child?

396
00:24:29,658 --> 00:24:31,018
His name is Scott.

397
00:24:31,579 --> 00:24:32,618
He's my son.

398
00:24:41,818 --> 00:24:43,178
Where is the boy now?

399
00:24:44,858 --> 00:24:46,298
He's upstairs, in bed.

400
00:24:48,938 --> 00:24:50,297
May I see him?

401
00:24:51,018 --> 00:24:52,217
He is asleep.

402
00:24:52,418 --> 00:24:53,818
I shall be very quiet.

403
00:24:54,538 --> 00:24:57,218
I'm afraid I cannot oblige you.
- I am convinced you cannot!

404
00:24:57,378 --> 00:24:59,658
This photograph normally
stands on the desk, here.

405
00:24:59,898 --> 00:25:03,337
A faint line of dust
marks where the base usually rests.

406
00:25:04,058 --> 00:25:06,057
You seized it up while you were pacing.

407
00:25:07,098 --> 00:25:08,779
You gazed at it with a...

408
00:25:09,818 --> 00:25:11,258
With a look of longing.

409
00:25:11,417 --> 00:25:15,018
With a sob of anxiety, I dare say,
and then you flung it onto the sofa

410
00:25:15,218 --> 00:25:17,337
because the boy is not upstairs, in bed.

411
00:25:17,579 --> 00:25:19,499
The boy is not in this house at all.

412
00:25:19,658 --> 00:25:21,578
The boy has been kidnapped.
- Yes!

413
00:25:22,058 --> 00:25:24,138
Yes! Yes!
He has been kidnapped!

414
00:25:24,378 --> 00:25:26,698
And I am out of my mind with grief.

415
00:25:26,938 --> 00:25:30,217
Holmes! Good heavens,
the lady's at the end of her tether!

416
00:25:30,858 --> 00:25:33,579
Watson, fetch her some brandy.

417
00:25:36,938 --> 00:25:38,218
Irene, please...

418
00:25:38,778 --> 00:25:41,018
You must control yourself.
We have no time.

419
00:25:41,498 --> 00:25:43,578
I must know exactly what happened.

420
00:25:44,618 --> 00:25:45,578
Yes.

421
00:25:46,619 --> 00:25:47,818
Yes, of course.

422
00:25:58,378 --> 00:26:00,218
I will have a drop of brandy.
Thank you, Watson.

423
00:26:00,538 --> 00:26:01,818
Of course, dear lady.

424
00:26:04,538 --> 00:26:05,579
Yes, madam?

425
00:26:06,297 --> 00:26:07,257
Heller,

426
00:26:07,578 --> 00:26:10,138
would you tell Fréulein Reichenbach
to come down right away, please?

427
00:26:10,698 --> 00:26:11,818
Of course, madam.

428
00:26:23,978 --> 00:26:25,098
English, fréulein.

429
00:26:27,178 --> 00:26:30,297
I had gone to meet
the young boy at school,

430
00:26:30,458 --> 00:26:33,578
and we were walking home,
which we used to do each day.

431
00:26:33,778 --> 00:26:36,418
It is this afternoon
you are referring to fréulein?

432
00:26:36,618 --> 00:26:37,499
Ja.

433
00:26:37,698 --> 00:26:40,618
Please describe to us what occurred.
- Ja.

434
00:26:41,659 --> 00:26:42,619
Erm...

435
00:26:42,818 --> 00:26:45,338
Three blocks from here, maybe four...

436
00:26:45,538 --> 00:26:46,418
<i>"ya, four...</i>

437
00:26:46,618 --> 00:26:48,938
a carriage drew beside us and stopped.

438
00:26:49,138 --> 00:26:51,698
A man was on top driving the horse.

439
00:26:51,858 --> 00:26:55,738
Erm, it was a closed carriage,
and all the shades were down.

440
00:26:55,898 --> 00:26:59,899
Suddenly, a man leaped from inside...

441
00:27:00,778 --> 00:27:01,738
Yes, go on.

442
00:27:01,898 --> 00:27:03,778
He seized and kicked me.

443
00:27:03,978 --> 00:27:05,018
Good heavens, the brute!

444
00:27:05,178 --> 00:27:06,377
Watson, please.

445
00:27:07,018 --> 00:27:08,098
He seized and kicked you?

446
00:27:08,258 --> 00:27:10,138
Ja. First by the hair, like this.

447
00:27:10,378 --> 00:27:12,698
And then with his foot, like this,
in the chin.

448
00:27:12,898 --> 00:27:14,378
I expect she means the'shin'.

449
00:27:14,579 --> 00:27:15,738
Thank you, Watson.

450
00:27:16,058 --> 00:27:16,938
What happened then?

451
00:27:17,138 --> 00:27:18,297
He threw me into the gutter.

452
00:27:18,499 --> 00:27:20,778
Gott in Himmel, was he strong! So strong he...

453
00:27:21,098 --> 00:27:22,939
Laid his hands on the boy

454
00:27:23,098 --> 00:27:25,738
and dragged him into the carriage,
and off they raced.

455
00:27:27,098 --> 00:27:30,138
Irene, when you learned of this
did you inform the police?

456
00:27:30,298 --> 00:27:32,499
I was on the point of doing so when...

457
00:27:32,698 --> 00:27:33,898
When what?

458
00:27:34,618 --> 00:27:37,018
When this telegram arrived.
- What telegram?!

459
00:27:37,178 --> 00:27:38,818
I'm about to show you, Sherlock.

460
00:27:39,018 --> 00:27:40,499
Try not to be so impatient.

461
00:27:40,698 --> 00:27:44,018
I ask your pardon. When a problem
absorbs me I tend to neglect formalities.

462
00:27:44,217 --> 00:27:46,137
The problem absorbs me also.

463
00:27:47,098 --> 00:27:49,819
"Do nothing, stop.
Tell no-one, stop.

464
00:27:50,298 --> 00:27:53,178
"Further instructions
will be forthcoming, stop.

465
00:27:53,578 --> 00:27:58,058
"Disobey these orders and you will face
the direst consequences."

466
00:27:58,459 --> 00:27:59,659
Oh, dear lady!

467
00:27:59,979 --> 00:28:00,939
Sit down.

468
00:28:01,739 --> 00:28:03,338
Holmes?
- Rene.

469
00:28:04,459 --> 00:28:06,778
Forgive me,
I thought I was stronger.

470
00:28:10,858 --> 00:28:12,459
So, there it is, Sherlock.

471
00:28:12,859 --> 00:28:16,138
I have been waiting, waiting, waiting
for those "further instructions"

472
00:28:16,337 --> 00:28:17,978
since four o'clock this afternoon.

473
00:28:18,377 --> 00:28:20,458
And it is not nearly nine-thirty.

474
00:28:21,018 --> 00:28:22,938
What has happened to my son?

475
00:28:23,418 --> 00:28:24,978
Oh!

476
00:28:25,138 --> 00:28:26,298
A message.

477
00:28:38,298 --> 00:28:40,498
A closed carriage, Holmes.
One man at the reigns,

478
00:28:40,658 --> 00:28:41,898
the other must be at the door.

479
00:28:45,178 --> 00:28:46,138
Hold on!

480
00:28:51,417 --> 00:28:52,377
Go!

481
00:28:56,538 --> 00:28:57,498
Wait!

482
00:29:05,819 --> 00:29:08,297
What are you standing for, why don't
you give the note to your mistress?

483
00:29:08,699 --> 00:29:10,698
It's not addressed to Miss Adler, sir.

484
00:29:10,858 --> 00:29:12,178
Not addressed to her?

485
00:29:12,338 --> 00:29:13,298
To whom is it addressed?

486
00:29:13,499 --> 00:29:14,618
It's addressed to you, sir.

487
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:34,778
I'd better read this to you.

488
00:29:37,098 --> 00:29:41,018
"The life of Scott Adler depends upon
one thing alone, Mr Sherlock Holmes:

489
00:29:41,498 --> 00:29:44,138
"Your refusal to
co-operate with the police.

490
00:29:45,098 --> 00:29:48,698
"You will refuse, and you will
give no reason for your refusal,

491
00:29:50,138 --> 00:29:51,818
"or the boy will die."

492
00:29:54,058 --> 00:29:55,018
Irene.

493
00:30:00,698 --> 00:30:04,499
If she's still awake in an hour
see she takes another of those powders.

494
00:30:04,698 --> 00:30:07,058
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir. Goodnight gentlemen.

495
00:30:07,218 --> 00:30:09,498
That should take
care of matters till the morning.

496
00:30:10,698 --> 00:30:11,658
A cab?

497
00:30:12,138 --> 00:30:13,418
I'd prefer to walk.

498
00:30:14,218 --> 00:30:15,579
Oh, anything you say.

499
00:30:17,417 --> 00:30:19,818
Can you make
head or tail of it Holmes? I can't.

500
00:30:20,018 --> 00:30:21,659
I am being manipulated.

501
00:30:21,818 --> 00:30:23,818
Hey, what's that?
"Manipulated"? How'd you mean?

502
00:30:23,978 --> 00:30:26,298
That chink in my armour,
it's been discovered.

503
00:30:26,778 --> 00:30:29,579
I'm sure I haven't the foggiest
notion what you're talking about.

504
00:30:30,138 --> 00:30:34,138
Watson, did you know my full name
was William Sherlock <i>Scott</i> Holmes?

505
00:30:34,338 --> 00:30:37,418
Is it? No I didn't know that.
Same as the lad, eh?

506
00:30:37,818 --> 00:30:40,058
Well, it's not an uncommon name
is it, Scott?

507
00:30:40,539 --> 00:30:42,578
What about that exploring Johnny?

508
00:30:42,738 --> 00:30:45,578
The one that's down in Antarctica
just now, another Scott?

509
00:30:45,738 --> 00:30:47,658
One thing puzzles me, though.

510
00:30:48,058 --> 00:30:49,018
One thing?

511
00:30:49,978 --> 00:30:52,538
I commend your clarity of mind, Watson.
What thing is that?

512
00:30:52,738 --> 00:30:55,178
That bit in the letter about
you not co-operating with the police.

513
00:30:55,378 --> 00:30:57,778
No-one's asked you to co-operate
with the police.

514
00:30:57,938 --> 00:30:59,338
Mr Sherlock Holmes?

515
00:30:59,898 --> 00:31:01,539
Yes, my name is Holmes.

516
00:31:01,738 --> 00:31:04,058
Inspector Lafferty,
New York Police Department.

517
00:31:05,098 --> 00:31:10,377
And I'm Mortimer McGraw, president of
the International Gold Exchange.

518
00:31:10,538 --> 00:31:13,257
How do you do, Mr McGraw?
This is Dr Watson.

519
00:31:13,417 --> 00:31:15,337
How do you do?
Dr Watson.

520
00:31:16,058 --> 00:31:19,659
Mr Holmes, I only learned an hour ago
that you were even in New York.

521
00:31:19,819 --> 00:31:21,778
I would have come to you sooner

522
00:31:21,978 --> 00:31:22,938
About what?

523
00:31:24,217 --> 00:31:28,778
Mr McGraw has been kind enough to offer
us his Landau for our convenience.

524
00:31:28,938 --> 00:31:33,098
Could I trouble you, both of you,
to join us in a short drive?

525
00:31:35,579 --> 00:31:37,417
As you wish.
- Thank you.

526
00:31:41,178 --> 00:31:44,619
Gentlemen, it is almost eleven at night.

527
00:31:44,858 --> 00:31:46,378
Well, more likely, yes.

528
00:31:47,338 --> 00:31:51,538
Mr Holmes, have you ever heard of
the International Gold Exchange?

529
00:31:51,738 --> 00:31:52,459
No.

530
00:31:52,618 --> 00:31:55,739
Gold is a very attractive metal
to thieves as you well know.

531
00:31:55,938 --> 00:31:59,618
It is also the major medium of exchange
between nations of the civilized world.

532
00:31:59,778 --> 00:32:00,458
Quite.

533
00:32:00,659 --> 00:32:03,618
Shipments of large quantities
of gold from one country to another

534
00:32:03,818 --> 00:32:05,658
is not only arduous but dangerous.

535
00:32:05,818 --> 00:32:09,498
Because of that, the International
Gold Exchange was established.

536
00:32:09,818 --> 00:32:11,619
May I describe it to you?

537
00:32:11,779 --> 00:32:12,858
Please do.

538
00:32:13,337 --> 00:32:17,659
Deep beneath the basement of the
Bouwerie National Bank here in Manhattan,

539
00:32:18,138 --> 00:32:20,378
cut into the bedrock of the island,

540
00:32:21,258 --> 00:32:22,779
are a number of vaults.

541
00:32:23,258 --> 00:32:25,818
Each vault considered
the property of the sovereign nation

542
00:32:26,018 --> 00:32:28,058
whose name appears
above its steel doors.

543
00:32:28,378 --> 00:32:31,578
I think I understand the object of your
Exchange, Mr McGraw.

544
00:32:31,738 --> 00:32:34,618
When gold is to be transferred
from one country,

545
00:32:34,818 --> 00:32:37,178
Russia let us say,
to another, Great Britain,

546
00:32:37,337 --> 00:32:40,778
instead of making the long and hazardous
journey from Moscow to London

547
00:32:41,098 --> 00:32:45,898
the required amount of bullion is removed
from one vault and placed into another.

548
00:32:46,218 --> 00:32:47,178
Exactly.

549
00:32:47,658 --> 00:32:50,459
Now six trusted employees of the Exchange
do the work that used to require

550
00:32:50,619 --> 00:32:53,658
six hundred nationals of
the countries involved.

551
00:32:54,058 --> 00:32:58,218
And the risk of theft has been
reduced to virtually nothing.

552
00:32:58,539 --> 00:33:00,938
Most ingenious.
I congratualte you, sir.

553
00:33:01,898 --> 00:33:03,338
I only have one question:

554
00:33:03,578 --> 00:33:06,618
Why are we being told all this
at this hour of night?

555
00:33:06,858 --> 00:33:09,018
Because the gold's been stolen,
that's why.

556
00:33:10,858 --> 00:33:11,818
All of it?

557
00:33:13,018 --> 00:33:14,938
Every brick, virtually.

558
00:33:15,818 --> 00:33:17,538
When was the theft discovered?

559
00:33:17,698 --> 00:33:20,619
When the door was unlocked at the
bottom of the elevator shaft,

560
00:33:20,858 --> 00:33:22,458
the vaults were empty.

561
00:33:22,778 --> 00:33:26,539
And there was a huge hole cut into
the rear wall of the chamber.

562
00:33:26,699 --> 00:33:28,058
A hole leading where?

563
00:33:28,258 --> 00:33:31,418
Into the subway excavation
that passes right by the bank.

564
00:33:32,058 --> 00:33:35,938
We found one brick of the bullion in
the tunnel. Another in the excavation.

565
00:33:36,138 --> 00:33:40,378
And, er, news of this incredible theft
has been kept from the public?

566
00:33:40,539 --> 00:33:41,499
So far.

567
00:33:41,898 --> 00:33:44,578
But, Mr Holmes, in three days' time
a transaction is to take place

568
00:33:44,779 --> 00:33:46,298
between Italy and Germany.

569
00:33:47,098 --> 00:33:49,337
When that happens,
the theft will be discovered.

570
00:33:49,579 --> 00:33:52,459
And the international repercussions
will be such that

571
00:33:52,778 --> 00:33:56,978
not even war, world war,
can be ruled out.

572
00:33:57,178 --> 00:34:00,138
Mr Holmes,
we've only got three days

573
00:34:00,337 --> 00:34:02,698
to find the gold
and get it back in the vaults.

574
00:34:03,258 --> 00:34:04,938
And we need your help to do it.

575
00:34:13,898 --> 00:34:15,738
<i>The life of Scott Adler</i>

576
00:34:15,898 --> 00:34:19,018
<i>depends upon one thing alone,
Mr Sherlock Holmes:</i>

577
00:34:19,619 --> 00:34:22,459
<i>Your refusal to
co-operate with the police.</i>

578
00:34:22,779 --> 00:34:26,619
<i>You will refuse and you will
give no reason for your refusal,</i>

579
00:34:27,018 --> 00:34:28,699
<i>or the boy will die.</i>

580
00:34:32,218 --> 00:34:35,819
Gentlemen, I am sorry
I cannot assist you in this matter.

581
00:34:37,498 --> 00:34:38,298
You what?

582
00:34:38,618 --> 00:34:42,138
I can be of no service to you
in any way whatsoever.

583
00:34:43,499 --> 00:34:45,898
Have we been talking to Sherlock Holmes?

584
00:34:46,218 --> 00:34:47,498
You have.

585
00:34:48,218 --> 00:34:51,498
Now, gentlemen, you must permit me
to bid you a good night.

586
00:34:54,138 --> 00:34:55,258
Come along, Watson.

587
00:34:56,898 --> 00:34:58,258
Wait a minute!

588
00:34:58,459 --> 00:35:00,459
You can't turn us down like this.

589
00:35:00,619 --> 00:35:03,618
We've come to you because of
your worldwide reputation.

590
00:35:03,898 --> 00:35:07,257
And Mr McGraw has explained to you
the seriousness of the situation.

591
00:35:07,499 --> 00:35:09,618
Inspector, I have nothing further
to say on the matter.

592
00:35:09,818 --> 00:35:12,138
Well, I have
something further to say to you...

593
00:35:12,337 --> 00:35:12,938
Inspector.

594
00:35:13,138 --> 00:35:17,578
When the crime's found out, and it's
learned it could lead to a world war,

595
00:35:17,818 --> 00:35:19,498
and Sherlock Holmes knew about it

596
00:35:19,658 --> 00:35:22,378
and didn't lift one finger to assist the police,

597
00:35:22,539 --> 00:35:25,898
what's the world gonna think
of the great Sherlock Holmes then?

598
00:35:26,058 --> 00:35:26,978
Drive on.

599
00:35:27,137 --> 00:35:28,459
Goodnight, Inspector.

600
00:35:30,378 --> 00:35:32,217
Oi! Mr McGraw!

601
00:35:33,578 --> 00:35:35,498
The scoundral. How dare he?

602
00:35:36,458 --> 00:35:40,218
Now do you understand what I meant
when I spoke of being manipulated?

603
00:35:40,458 --> 00:35:46,698
Now do you fully appreciate the art,
the genius, of this Napoleon of crime?

604
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:50,298
What Napoleon are you talking about?

605
00:35:51,258 --> 00:35:54,098
He knew those mutilated tickets
would bring me to New York.

606
00:35:54,258 --> 00:35:56,459
He knew I would be at the theatre tonight

607
00:35:56,619 --> 00:35:58,218
and that the announcement
of Irene's indisposition

608
00:35:58,417 --> 00:36:01,618
would make me rush to her home
so that he could deliver that note to me.

609
00:36:02,058 --> 00:36:05,619
He knew that Inspector Lafferty would
be waiting here for me at the hotel.

610
00:36:06,058 --> 00:36:08,858
And that he would enlist my aid
in recovering the gold.

611
00:36:09,018 --> 00:36:12,939
And, because of Scott Adler,
I would be forced to refuse him.

612
00:36:14,218 --> 00:36:18,297
Every single thing Moriarty promised me
that night in London has come true.

613
00:36:18,539 --> 00:36:21,418
The crime of the century
has been committed.

614
00:36:22,618 --> 00:36:25,378
And I am helpless
to do anything about it.

615
00:36:26,898 --> 00:36:28,778
Moriarty made off with that gold?

616
00:36:28,938 --> 00:36:30,418
And with Scott Adler, too,
I'm convinced.

617
00:36:30,579 --> 00:36:32,778
Well, what the juice can he do
with all that bullion?

618
00:36:32,938 --> 00:36:34,579
You heard what McGraw said.

619
00:36:34,778 --> 00:36:37,218
He can bring every nation
to the brink of a world war.

620
00:36:37,377 --> 00:36:39,618
What good's a world war to him?

621
00:36:39,898 --> 00:36:41,178
The prevention of it.

622
00:36:42,458 --> 00:36:47,818
With mankind trembling upon
the brink of unimaginable devastation,

623
00:36:49,258 --> 00:36:51,818
Professor Moriarty will come forward

624
00:36:52,058 --> 00:36:54,698
and reveal that
the gold is in his possession.

625
00:36:55,258 --> 00:36:57,898
The bankrupt nations in his power.

626
00:36:58,459 --> 00:37:01,499
Moriarty, ruler of the world.

627
00:37:03,618 --> 00:37:06,539
"The crime of all centuries to come."

628
00:37:07,738 --> 00:37:09,098
Indeed it is, Watson.

629
00:37:10,458 --> 00:37:11,578
Indeed it is.

630
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:14,257
<i>The life of Scott Adler</i>

631
00:37:14,459 --> 00:37:17,499
<i>depends upon one thing alone,
Mr Sherlock Holmes:</i>

632
00:37:18,298 --> 00:37:21,018
<i>Your refusal to
co-operate with the police.</i>

633
00:37:21,578 --> 00:37:24,378
I am powerless to circumvent it.

634
00:38:07,658 --> 00:38:08,898
Holmes?

635
00:38:11,579 --> 00:38:13,218
Yes?
- Forgive me saying so, Holmes,

636
00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:17,058
but if you're prepared to stand there and
fiddle while the world goes up in smoke

637
00:38:17,258 --> 00:38:19,378
well, then, you're
precious Professor Moriarty

638
00:38:19,539 --> 00:38:24,217
deserves to sit on his mountain of gold
and tell the rest of us to jump.

639
00:38:41,178 --> 00:38:43,898
Well, I never made any bones about
what that damn fiddle does to me nerves.

640
00:38:44,058 --> 00:38:45,898
That's quite all right, Watson.

641
00:38:48,778 --> 00:38:49,978
Please,

642
00:38:51,018 --> 00:38:52,298
don't apologise.

643
00:38:53,578 --> 00:38:54,538
<i>I 58)'-</i>

644
00:38:55,818 --> 00:38:57,258
What is it, Holmes?

645
00:38:58,619 --> 00:39:01,138
The man down there
is watching this room.

646
00:39:01,417 --> 00:39:04,538
I saw him twice this evening,
marching up and down with his signboards.

647
00:39:04,939 --> 00:39:06,138
Did you, by Jove?

648
00:39:06,539 --> 00:39:07,698
I wonder what he's up to?

649
00:39:07,858 --> 00:39:09,579
I can tell you that, Watson.

650
00:39:09,778 --> 00:39:12,217
He is wondering what we are up to.

651
00:39:14,297 --> 00:39:17,258
Me dear friend, I owe you
a profound debt of gratitude.

652
00:39:17,458 --> 00:39:18,818
Oh, come now Holmes.

653
00:39:19,018 --> 00:39:20,218
Butldo, Ido.

654
00:39:20,778 --> 00:39:22,978
If you had not reprimanded me
just now as you did,

655
00:39:23,138 --> 00:39:26,217
I would have gone on doing
exactly what you accused me of doing.

656
00:39:26,418 --> 00:39:30,378
Fiddling while the world burned,
and Moriarty would indeed've won the day.

657
00:39:30,778 --> 00:39:32,858
But you broke the spell, my friend.

658
00:39:36,778 --> 00:39:37,818
Watson,

659
00:39:38,458 --> 00:39:39,978
why are we being watched?

660
00:39:40,178 --> 00:39:41,499
Ask yourself that question.

661
00:39:41,699 --> 00:39:43,978
There's no need to, you just did.
- And I'll answer it.

662
00:39:44,298 --> 00:39:46,377
If Moriarty's plan is so perfect,

663
00:39:46,619 --> 00:39:50,778
if I am supposed to be helpless,
destroyed, unable to fight him,

664
00:39:50,978 --> 00:39:53,258
then why is it necessary
to have me watched?

665
00:39:53,418 --> 00:39:55,338
That's not an answer, Holmes,
it's another question.

666
00:39:55,539 --> 00:39:58,618
And the answer is:
Because the plan is not perfect.

667
00:39:58,778 --> 00:40:00,498
It has one single flaw in it.

668
00:40:00,658 --> 00:40:02,578
And that man down there
has to be there,

669
00:40:02,778 --> 00:40:05,338
so that Mariarty will know at once
if I discover that flaw.

670
00:40:05,539 --> 00:40:07,018
Well, have ya?
- Yes!

671
00:40:07,579 --> 00:40:09,297
But he is not going to know that.

672
00:40:09,499 --> 00:40:11,898
Watson, what is it that prevents my
assisting the police?

673
00:40:12,098 --> 00:40:14,058
Well, the boy's safety, of course.
- Of course.

674
00:40:14,298 --> 00:40:18,778
So long as Scott Adler remains Moriarty's
captive, then my hands are tied.

675
00:40:18,938 --> 00:40:21,498
His life hangs upon my inactivity.

676
00:40:22,138 --> 00:40:25,938
But what if the lad were to be snatched
from Moriarty's claws and set free?

677
00:40:26,098 --> 00:40:27,178
'By Us!

678
00:40:27,378 --> 00:40:30,218
And in such a way that Moriarty
still believes him prisoner.

679
00:40:30,378 --> 00:40:33,539
If that can be acheived
then the manicles fall from my wrists

680
00:40:33,738 --> 00:40:36,258
and I am free to turn my attention to
the theft of the gold.

681
00:40:36,458 --> 00:40:38,658
Ah. Though easier said that done,
I'd say.

682
00:40:38,858 --> 00:40:41,978
Yes, Watson. I believe that
is just what you have said.

683
00:40:42,298 --> 00:40:43,258
Oh, thank you.

684
00:40:55,258 --> 00:40:57,138
The chap's still down there.

685
00:40:57,499 --> 00:40:59,618
It's a damp night, too.

686
00:41:00,058 --> 00:41:03,138
He'll have a nice touch of the rheumatism
in the morning. I hope he enjoys it.

687
00:41:07,819 --> 00:41:11,659
Oh, you're not gonna start up on that
wretched fiddle again are ya?

688
00:41:11,819 --> 00:41:14,539
Oh, we're in for
one of those sessions are we?

689
00:41:15,098 --> 00:41:16,778
Precisely.

690
00:41:17,337 --> 00:41:19,377
Don't let me detain you, Watson.

691
00:41:19,899 --> 00:41:24,699
I expect this will be a
four pipe problem at the very least.

692
00:41:25,018 --> 00:41:27,699
Yes, well, take care you
don't set the upholstery afire

693
00:41:27,898 --> 00:41:30,058
the way you did that night
at Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

694
00:41:34,458 --> 00:41:35,578
Er, 'night, Holmes.

695
00:41:39,619 --> 00:41:41,018
Er, 'night, Watson.

696
00:41:41,177 --> 00:41:42,218
Sleep well.

697
00:42:23,138 --> 00:42:24,178
Holmes!

698
00:42:24,338 --> 00:42:26,218
It's half-past twelve in the afternoon!

699
00:42:26,539 --> 00:42:28,178
Half-past seven in the morning, Watson.

700
00:42:28,338 --> 00:42:30,778
What's that?
Oh, my watch must have...

701
00:42:31,178 --> 00:42:34,619
Oh. Cheeky beggars, I must say,
making up their own time.

702
00:42:38,377 --> 00:42:40,297
I'm surprised no-one's
called the fire brigade.

703
00:42:41,257 --> 00:42:42,538
Oh, that chap's been replaced.

704
00:42:42,739 --> 00:42:44,698
This one's wearing stripes
instead of checks.

705
00:42:45,258 --> 00:42:47,338
Well, Holmes,
what have you come up with?

706
00:42:48,779 --> 00:42:51,258
Two points of exceeding interest,
Watson.

707
00:42:52,377 --> 00:42:55,417
About which I shall be delighted
to tell you whilst we're dressing.

708
00:42:58,378 --> 00:43:00,418
Scott Adler's abducter was a woman.

709
00:43:00,579 --> 00:43:01,978
But that's impossible.

710
00:43:02,298 --> 00:43:04,458
Oh, the conclusion's inescapable, Watson.

711
00:43:05,417 --> 00:43:08,378
How did Fraulein Reichenbach's assailant
begin the attack?

712
00:43:08,618 --> 00:43:10,058
Grabbed her by the hair.

713
00:43:10,218 --> 00:43:11,659
The instinctive target of a woman

714
00:43:11,819 --> 00:43:15,098
when she finds herself in combat
with another of her gender.

715
00:43:15,738 --> 00:43:17,138
What did she do then?

716
00:43:17,337 --> 00:43:18,978
Kicked her.
- In the shins.

717
00:43:19,138 --> 00:43:21,618
Another instinctive form
of female attack.

718
00:43:22,698 --> 00:43:26,499
I must say, Holmes, none of the ladies
with whom I've been associated...

719
00:43:26,698 --> 00:43:28,618
Who mentioned ladies Watson?
I said, "a woman."

720
00:43:28,819 --> 00:43:30,138
And one of sufficient strength

721
00:43:30,298 --> 00:43:33,377
that she was able to fling the fréulein
to the ground, seize young Scott Adler...

722
00:43:33,578 --> 00:43:35,378
Holmes, you're assuming too much.

723
00:43:35,819 --> 00:43:38,818
It's all very well to say that a woman
struck Fréulein Reichenbach

724
00:43:39,018 --> 00:43:40,779
and pummelled her
in the manner you described.

725
00:43:40,938 --> 00:43:43,738
But that's a far cry from her seizin'
a nine-year-old boy

726
00:43:43,938 --> 00:43:45,618
who's strugglin', cryin' out...
- Ah-ha!

727
00:43:45,778 --> 00:43:47,058
Admirable, my dear Watson.

728
00:43:47,258 --> 00:43:48,098
Come in.

729
00:43:48,298 --> 00:43:50,218
You have just hit upon the second point.

730
00:43:51,178 --> 00:43:54,178
No mention was made by the fréulein
of any struggle or outcry.

731
00:43:54,377 --> 00:43:55,658
Excuse me.
- By George, you're right!

732
00:43:55,818 --> 00:43:58,579
Er, nothing. Just leave things, we will
serve ourselves. Thank you very much.

733
00:43:58,778 --> 00:44:01,258
So, it must be assumed that
none was made.

734
00:44:01,418 --> 00:44:03,898
I am convinced that the matter was
arranged with the lad in advance.

735
00:44:04,058 --> 00:44:08,138
What? Scott Adler co-operate
with Moriarty in his own kidnappin'?

736
00:44:09,018 --> 00:44:11,218
Suppose it were put to the lad
as a joke of sorts?

737
00:44:11,418 --> 00:44:14,218
A joke on whom?
Surely not his mother?

738
00:44:14,378 --> 00:44:16,138
Well, perhaps, on the fréulein?

739
00:44:16,699 --> 00:44:18,138
But, for what reason?

740
00:44:19,018 --> 00:44:21,178
And why a woman kidnapper
in the first place?

741
00:44:21,338 --> 00:44:23,938
Because the lad has to be kept
somewhere quietly and inconspicuously.

742
00:44:24,098 --> 00:44:26,859
And what better place could there be
than at a respectable lodging house?

743
00:44:27,058 --> 00:44:29,739
And what better guardian than someone
who might be taken for his cousin,

744
00:44:29,898 --> 00:44:31,417
his aunt, or even his m...

745
00:44:31,738 --> 00:44:32,778
mother?

746
00:44:33,898 --> 00:44:34,858
Watson,

747
00:44:35,257 --> 00:44:37,659
I have some questions
I must put to Irene at once.

748
00:44:37,819 --> 00:44:40,058
That sedative you gave her,
will it have worn off by now?

749
00:44:41,978 --> 00:44:44,539
At a quarter-past one in the afternoon?
Of course.

750
00:44:44,698 --> 00:44:45,658
Watson...

751
00:44:46,618 --> 00:44:47,578
Oh!

752
00:44:48,698 --> 00:44:49,899
Well, dash it all, Holmes,

753
00:44:50,098 --> 00:44:54,098
if an Englishman doesn't maintain his
ties with home what becomes of England?

754
00:44:54,258 --> 00:44:56,459
Come along, Watson.
- Holmes!

755
00:45:05,018 --> 00:45:06,698
Oh, kippers'll get cold.

756
00:45:07,098 --> 00:45:08,058
Oh, well.

757
00:45:10,459 --> 00:45:13,658
Irene, I must know
everything you and Scott did yesterday.

758
00:45:13,818 --> 00:45:14,778
Everything-

759
00:45:15,578 --> 00:45:18,298
Well, for one thing,
we went to the opera.

760
00:45:18,498 --> 00:45:22,138
The management sent around complimentary
tickets and Scott is fond of <i>Aida,</i>

761
00:45:22,338 --> 00:45:24,978
and he also has a tremedous crush
on little Nicole Romaine, so...

762
00:45:25,178 --> 00:45:27,338
Who is this little Nicole Romaine?

763
00:45:27,658 --> 00:45:29,338
Why she's a member of the
cours de ballet.

764
00:45:29,659 --> 00:45:30,858
Do you hear that, Watson?

765
00:45:31,258 --> 00:45:33,818
A dancer. Quick, strong, agile, eh?

766
00:45:34,538 --> 00:45:37,499
Is it customary for the
Metropolitan Opera to send you tickets?

767
00:45:38,058 --> 00:45:39,018
No.

768
00:45:39,659 --> 00:45:40,619
No, it isn't really.

769
00:45:40,818 --> 00:45:42,618
Then they could have been sent
by someone else?

770
00:45:42,778 --> 00:45:44,138
I simply never thought about it.

771
00:45:44,538 --> 00:45:47,417
Start thinking about it now.
And seriously.

772
00:45:47,619 --> 00:45:50,058
Tell me about Scott
and this little Nicole Romaine.

773
00:45:50,218 --> 00:45:51,418
He's her pet.

774
00:45:51,658 --> 00:45:53,098
Whenever we go backstage
after a performance...

775
00:45:53,297 --> 00:45:55,258
Which you did on this occasion?
- Yes.

776
00:45:55,459 --> 00:45:56,979
They spoke together these two?

777
00:45:57,178 --> 00:45:59,498
Oh my, yes. Laughing and whispering
in each others' ears.

778
00:45:59,978 --> 00:46:01,858
She's hardly more than a child herself.

779
00:46:02,058 --> 00:46:04,459
"Whispering in each others' ears."
Do you hear that, Watson?

780
00:46:04,698 --> 00:46:06,618
Hatching the plot right there,
I've no doubt.

781
00:46:06,818 --> 00:46:08,298
"The plot"? What plot?

782
00:46:09,098 --> 00:46:13,337
A plot, my dear Irene, in which you and
your unfortunate son are leading players.

783
00:46:13,578 --> 00:46:16,298
And a plot in which
I must now assume a role myself.

784
00:46:19,658 --> 00:46:20,578
Ah-ha!

785
00:46:20,778 --> 00:46:23,418
Our friend in the checkered suit is back.

786
00:46:27,819 --> 00:46:30,539
Huh, chap doesn't even have
a change of clothes.

787
00:46:30,699 --> 00:46:32,818
Bit penurious this Moriarty fella, huh?

788
00:46:33,018 --> 00:46:36,538
Watson, it is vital that
I leave this house unobserved.

789
00:46:37,498 --> 00:46:39,258
I dare say
there's a back way out.

790
00:46:39,459 --> 00:46:42,938
Mmm. The same thought
will have accurred to Moriarty.

791
00:46:43,498 --> 00:46:44,218
No!

792
00:46:44,418 --> 00:46:46,338
You and I must appear
to leave this house,

793
00:46:46,498 --> 00:46:48,778
thus drawing our friend out there
away from here.

794
00:46:50,298 --> 00:46:53,258
Irene, I seem to remember,
on a not-too-distant occasion,

795
00:46:53,459 --> 00:46:55,819
your remarkable
impersonation of a young man.

796
00:46:56,298 --> 00:46:58,138
Do you think you could
be equally deceptive

797
00:46:58,338 --> 00:47:01,258
in the guise of one
not quite so young as that?

798
00:47:01,818 --> 00:47:04,938
I am not quite so young as that anymore
either, Sherlock.

799
00:47:07,178 --> 00:47:08,138
Cab.

800
00:47:18,618 --> 00:47:19,539
Coming Holmes?

801
00:47:19,738 --> 00:47:21,818
<i>Right along Watson. Right along.</i>

802
00:47:48,858 --> 00:47:49,818
Thank you.

803
00:47:51,257 --> 00:47:54,178
Excuse me, sir. The opera house
is just across the street if you...

804
00:47:54,378 --> 00:47:56,218
I know. I would much prefer
it be delivered.

805
00:47:56,378 --> 00:47:57,258
Whatever you want.

806
00:47:57,458 --> 00:47:58,619
I'll send the boy right away.

807
00:48:10,938 --> 00:48:12,858
The Twickenham Toffs?

808
00:48:13,258 --> 00:48:16,898
What a mysterious,
fascinating, tiny world we live in.

809
00:48:17,098 --> 00:48:18,138
What's that, sir?

810
00:48:18,939 --> 00:48:21,258
Oh, nothing. I was just
having a conversation with myself.

811
00:48:21,458 --> 00:48:23,739
How much do I owe you?
- Seventy-five cents.

812
00:48:24,938 --> 00:48:26,298
Thank you.

813
00:48:38,297 --> 00:48:40,538
Sorry mister, the lady's not there.

814
00:48:41,098 --> 00:48:43,418
How very odd.
And it was marked 'urgent'.

815
00:48:43,579 --> 00:48:46,779
Yes, sir. That's why they've
given me the address of her hotel.

816
00:48:46,978 --> 00:48:48,138
So I can deliver it.

817
00:48:48,338 --> 00:48:49,417
Splendid, my dear chap.

818
00:48:49,578 --> 00:48:51,337
I shall take care of it myself.

819
00:48:52,778 --> 00:48:56,459
Now, you look like a lad
who knows his way around this town.

820
00:48:56,858 --> 00:49:00,377
Where can I find a first-rate
theatrical costumier?

821
00:49:16,539 --> 00:49:19,499
Ah, Signor carrozzi,
you bring in the <i>baule,</i> huh?

822
00:49:19,819 --> 00:49:21,899
<i>Va bene e fai multa tensione.</i>

823
00:49:22,138 --> 00:49:23,417
<i>A multa varo.</i>

824
00:49:30,778 --> 00:49:31,739
<i>Buongiorno!</i>

825
00:49:32,218 --> 00:49:36,177
We present II Grande Bandini
direct from the Victoria Palace.

826
00:49:36,378 --> 00:49:38,178
The Victoria Palace, eh?

827
00:49:38,338 --> 00:49:40,338
I played there myself
in my younger days.

828
00:49:40,499 --> 00:49:41,738
What kind of an act do you do?

829
00:49:41,898 --> 00:49:42,978
Escapologist.

830
00:49:43,177 --> 00:49:45,178
A what?
- I escape.

831
00:49:45,579 --> 00:49:46,498
Escape from what?

832
00:49:46,699 --> 00:49:49,138
From trunks.
From tanks filled with water.

833
00:49:49,298 --> 00:49:50,938
From chains, from locked cages.

834
00:49:51,138 --> 00:49:53,018
Yeah, but not from
your hotel bill, I hope.

835
00:49:59,178 --> 00:50:02,459
That'll be a buck-fifty,
plus two bits for carrying.

836
00:50:02,619 --> 00:50:04,458
A dollar six bits, all told.

837
00:50:04,618 --> 00:50:07,337
There you are my fine fellow.
And don't forget:

838
00:50:07,498 --> 00:50:10,138
Come to see me perform
tomorrow night at the Orpheum.

839
00:50:10,938 --> 00:50:12,779
So, you're playing the Orpeum, huh?

840
00:50:12,978 --> 00:50:13,858
So...

841
00:50:14,058 --> 00:50:15,858
Who told you about this place, anyway,
the Haymarket?

842
00:50:17,018 --> 00:50:21,738
It was recommend me by a
Maifraoi I meet in Marseilles

843
00:50:21,898 --> 00:50:24,898
A man <i>si chiama</i> Nicholas Romaine.

844
00:50:25,098 --> 00:50:27,978
Nicholas Romaine? No I don't
seem to remember him.

845
00:50:28,539 --> 00:50:32,618
We do have a <i>Miss</i> Romaine staying here
with her little boy.

846
00:50:33,338 --> 00:50:36,298
I'll have to ask her when she comes
back in. She may be a relative.

847
00:50:37,098 --> 00:50:39,098
Now, let's see about your room.

848
00:50:39,659 --> 00:50:42,458
Ah, yeah, I have a nice one on
the second floor. Number seventeen.

849
00:50:42,618 --> 00:50:45,018
That'll be fifty cents a day,
with breakfast.

850
00:50:45,258 --> 00:50:46,538
Would you care to register?

851
00:50:46,698 --> 00:50:48,458
Er, the room, she's clean?

852
00:50:48,699 --> 00:50:51,739
The Great Bandini
does not share his bed with bugs.

853
00:50:51,898 --> 00:50:53,938
We have the cleanest place
in this town.

854
00:50:54,098 --> 00:50:56,058
You can ask anybody that lives here.

855
00:50:58,938 --> 00:51:00,298
Ah, Miss Romaine.

856
00:51:01,418 --> 00:51:05,098
By the way, over there's a gentleman who
might be knowing a relative of yours.

857
00:51:07,738 --> 00:51:09,418
<i>Buona sera, Signorina.</i>

858
00:51:09,818 --> 00:51:11,498
<i>Che piacere.</i>

859
00:51:11,899 --> 00:51:15,217
I once had the great honour of
appearning on the same bill

860
00:51:15,418 --> 00:51:16,979
with your most most esteemed father.

861
00:51:17,178 --> 00:51:18,739
My name is Sherlock Holmes,

862
00:51:18,938 --> 00:51:22,938
and if you value your life and freedom
you'll invite me to your room at once.

863
00:51:27,659 --> 00:51:29,658
Where is the boy?
Show him to me.

864
00:51:29,818 --> 00:51:30,858
How did you know?

865
00:51:31,178 --> 00:51:32,778
There's no time for that,
Madamoiselle.

866
00:51:33,018 --> 00:51:34,218
Where is he?

867
00:51:43,018 --> 00:51:43,978
Scott?

868
00:51:45,578 --> 00:51:46,538
Scott?

869
00:51:49,418 --> 00:51:50,378
Scott!

870
00:51:50,938 --> 00:51:51,898
Scott?

871
00:51:57,177 --> 00:51:58,338
He's drugged.

872
00:51:58,539 --> 00:52:00,898
A few grains of laudanum,
that is all, Monsieur.

873
00:52:01,098 --> 00:52:02,538
And only when I must go out.

874
00:52:02,938 --> 00:52:04,378
I would not harm the boy.

875
00:52:05,018 --> 00:52:07,579
You have most assuredly
harmed his mother.

876
00:52:07,738 --> 00:52:10,217
What brought you to take part
in this outrage?

877
00:52:10,418 --> 00:52:12,218
I had no choice, Monsieur.

878
00:52:12,538 --> 00:52:14,539
Three days ago, a man came to me.

879
00:52:14,778 --> 00:52:17,739
Charles Nickers,
a tumbler with the Twickenham Toffs.

880
00:52:18,138 --> 00:52:21,658
I had the distinct honour of arresting his
brother, Bill, in London a fortnight ago.

881
00:52:21,859 --> 00:52:25,178
The Twickenham Toffs have long
been a part of Moriarty's organisation.

882
00:52:25,338 --> 00:52:27,498
And what did this Charles Nickers
say to you?

883
00:52:27,898 --> 00:52:30,377
He said that
unless I did as I was bidden

884
00:52:30,538 --> 00:52:32,778
my brother, Anatole, in Paris
would be murdered.

885
00:52:32,978 --> 00:52:33,898
I see.

886
00:52:34,377 --> 00:52:36,818
And what were your orders
in addition to pursuading young Scott

887
00:52:37,018 --> 00:52:39,178
to take part in a prank
against his governess?

888
00:52:39,578 --> 00:52:41,178
I was to bring him here.

889
00:52:41,498 --> 00:52:43,499
And then engage a room
facing the street.

890
00:52:43,738 --> 00:52:45,498
Originally, my room was in the rear.

891
00:52:45,658 --> 00:52:48,058
Then I was to call the opera
and say I was ill.

892
00:52:48,378 --> 00:52:51,619
Then, twice a day I must
inform Mr Nickers that the boy is here

893
00:52:51,818 --> 00:52:53,258
and no-one has enquired after him.

894
00:52:53,417 --> 00:52:54,858
Inform? In what way?

895
00:52:55,337 --> 00:52:57,738
Each day at eleven,
and again at seven,

896
00:52:58,377 --> 00:53:00,539
he comes across the street and watches.

897
00:53:00,938 --> 00:53:03,178
I walk to the window
and open the curtain and nod.

898
00:53:03,378 --> 00:53:04,378
And that is all.

899
00:53:05,178 --> 00:53:07,818
Which means it's almost time
for him to be there now.

900
00:53:08,138 --> 00:53:09,098
Mademoiselle,

901
00:53:09,498 --> 00:53:12,938
you have received Moriarty's
instructions now you will hear mine.

902
00:53:13,738 --> 00:53:16,018
When Charles Nickers arrives
you will give him the proper signal

903
00:53:16,218 --> 00:53:17,938
as you have been told to do,
and you will continue to do so

904
00:53:18,138 --> 00:53:20,378
twice a day until I relieve you
of the responsibility.

905
00:53:20,699 --> 00:53:24,098
If you do as I say, you will emerge
from this dismal matter unharmed,

906
00:53:24,258 --> 00:53:25,538
as will your brother.

907
00:53:25,739 --> 00:53:27,378
Fail me in any respect,

908
00:53:27,539 --> 00:53:30,699
and you will held accountable for
the death of Scott Adler.

909
00:53:30,938 --> 00:53:32,818
<i>Oh, mon dieu!</i>

910
00:53:32,978 --> 00:53:36,217
Yes, if I were French
I would have said the same thing myself.

911
00:53:40,218 --> 00:53:41,417
See if he's there.

912
00:53:44,778 --> 00:53:46,138
Well?
- Yes.

913
00:53:46,338 --> 00:53:47,498
Then give the proper signal!

914
00:53:54,938 --> 00:53:55,898
He has gone.

915
00:53:57,098 --> 00:53:58,058
Good.

916
00:53:58,297 --> 00:54:00,778
Here is my key. I am in room seventeen

917
00:54:01,098 --> 00:54:03,418
It's three doors down from you,
across the corridor.

918
00:54:03,818 --> 00:54:05,098
Go and unlock the door.

919
00:54:05,258 --> 00:54:06,938
When the way is clear,
give the signal.

920
00:54:08,938 --> 00:54:09,898
Now.

921
00:54:41,338 --> 00:54:42,699
Back to your room, Mademoiselle.

922
00:54:42,859 --> 00:54:45,178
And remember,
do exactly as I told you.

923
00:54:45,378 --> 00:54:46,618
The boy's life depends on it.

924
00:54:46,778 --> 00:54:48,459
Yes, yes, of course,
I will obey you utterly.

925
00:54:48,698 --> 00:54:49,658
Do.

926
00:55:29,739 --> 00:55:31,018
There you are, my lad.

927
00:55:31,578 --> 00:55:34,458
You'll have a bruise or two to show
for your adventure.

928
00:55:36,538 --> 00:55:39,018
But they'll soon disappear under
your mother's kisses.

929
00:55:45,178 --> 00:55:49,659
This is not an albergo for attori,
it is a pen for pigs.

930
00:55:50,058 --> 00:55:53,978
Prepare my bill at once,
and send someone up for my luggage.

931
00:55:54,778 --> 00:55:57,898
I will not share my room with bugs!

932
00:56:07,178 --> 00:56:08,618
The Hotel Algonquino.

933
00:56:21,739 --> 00:56:23,659
Woah!

934
00:56:37,338 --> 00:56:38,538
Go ahead, quickly.

935
00:56:42,938 --> 00:56:45,898
Mr Holmes and Dr Watson's
luggage from the hotel.

936
00:56:46,218 --> 00:56:47,659
Come and give me a hand with it.

937
00:56:47,818 --> 00:56:49,459
Good heavens, what's this about?

938
00:56:49,658 --> 00:56:54,378
I said I got Dr Watson and Mr Holmes'
luggage from the hotel, like you ordered.

939
00:56:54,578 --> 00:56:56,539
I need some help
getting it into the house.

940
00:56:56,699 --> 00:56:58,098
Heller, help the man in
with the luggage, please.

941
00:56:58,257 --> 00:56:59,178
Yes, madam.

942
00:57:01,898 --> 00:57:04,018
What've they brought the luggage
here for, anyway?

943
00:57:04,178 --> 00:57:05,738
I'm sure we'll find out very soon,
Watson.

944
00:57:16,858 --> 00:57:18,137
It's mine all right.

945
00:57:21,418 --> 00:57:23,018
Good heavens, it's empty.

946
00:57:24,138 --> 00:57:25,538
Look here, my good man...

947
00:57:25,738 --> 00:57:27,539
There's a large trunk on the back
of the carriage, Watson.

948
00:57:27,738 --> 00:57:28,378
Holmes!

949
00:57:28,578 --> 00:57:30,579
As soon as Heller and I have it
halfway across the pavement,

950
00:57:30,778 --> 00:57:32,578
so it's blocking the view
of the chap across the street,

951
00:57:32,779 --> 00:57:35,178
I want you to get into the carriage
as fast as you can,

952
00:57:35,338 --> 00:57:38,858
lie on the floor, and under no
circumstances allow yourself to be seen.

953
00:57:39,178 --> 00:57:41,098
Remember, do exactly as I say.

954
00:57:41,337 --> 00:57:42,458
Come on, Heller.

955
00:57:50,538 --> 00:57:52,378
Er, careful, pull it with two hands.

956
00:57:54,138 --> 00:57:55,098
Now, Dr Watson.

957
00:57:58,859 --> 00:58:00,218
Bring your end round.

958
00:58:07,417 --> 00:58:08,378
Close the door.

959
00:58:15,178 --> 00:58:16,138
Scott!

960
00:58:16,938 --> 00:58:17,938
Is he all right?

961
00:58:18,138 --> 00:58:20,938
He's as fit as a fiddle, he's just
feeling the effects of a sleeping draught.

962
00:58:21,818 --> 00:58:23,738
How did I get here?

963
00:58:23,978 --> 00:58:24,938
Where's Nicole?

964
00:58:25,258 --> 00:58:27,178
Oh, it's all right my darling.

965
00:58:27,417 --> 00:58:29,298
Irene, there's no time to explain.

966
00:58:29,458 --> 00:58:33,418
Under no circumstances must you leave
this house or allow the lad to be seen.

967
00:58:33,578 --> 00:58:36,978
Until I give the word,
matters still remain grave.

968
00:58:37,178 --> 00:58:38,698
Of course
- Come on, Heller.

969
00:58:42,858 --> 00:58:43,818
Open the door.

970
00:58:44,458 --> 00:58:47,058
Here you are,
my man, here's something for your pains.

971
00:58:47,258 --> 00:58:50,298
Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

972
00:58:51,417 --> 00:58:53,579
Scott, my darling boy.

973
00:58:54,297 --> 00:58:55,978
Who was that man?

974
00:59:10,699 --> 00:59:14,378
Tell Moriarty Holmes and Watson
have moved into the Adler house.

975
00:59:15,098 --> 00:59:16,058
Yah!

976
00:59:18,938 --> 00:59:21,978
By George, you're right, Holmes.
Not a sign of anyone watching us.

977
00:59:22,178 --> 00:59:23,258
I assumed as much.

978
00:59:24,218 --> 00:59:25,978
We are not beaten yet, Watson.

979
00:59:26,138 --> 00:59:27,298
Not by a long chalk.

980
00:59:27,459 --> 00:59:29,018
Er, what's our next move, Holmes?

981
00:59:29,218 --> 00:59:30,138
Well, what time is it?

982
00:59:30,298 --> 00:59:31,818
Er...
- Ah, never mind!

983
00:59:34,058 --> 00:59:38,458
Ah, almost ten and I have not dined,
lunched and, if my memory is correct,

984
00:59:38,699 --> 00:59:39,978
we didn't even breakfast.

985
00:59:40,619 --> 00:59:44,698
I suggest we make up for that lapse in
the Algonquin's most excellent restaurant.

986
00:59:45,418 --> 00:59:48,058
And, after that, we can look up Inspector
Lafferty as soon as possible.

987
00:59:48,258 --> 00:59:52,378
Hear, hear. All I've had today was tea
at Miss Adler's after our cab ride.

988
00:59:54,138 --> 00:59:55,098
Holmes,

989
00:59:55,298 --> 00:59:57,818
over here tea comes in pouches.

990
01:00:26,298 --> 01:00:27,578
Thank you.

991
01:00:42,858 --> 01:00:46,338
I take it this combination is different
from the one that unlocks the main doors?

992
01:00:46,538 --> 01:00:47,818
It is, sir.

993
01:00:48,619 --> 01:00:50,218
How many people
know these combinations?

994
01:00:50,378 --> 01:00:52,698
Only the six employees of the Exchange

995
01:00:53,018 --> 01:00:54,298
and myself.

996
01:00:55,738 --> 01:00:59,417
And, I might add, the tumblers are
changed every three months.

997
01:01:00,618 --> 01:01:02,939
Admirable, if, in this case, futile.

998
01:01:03,418 --> 01:01:05,058
Is this the only way to
reach the vault?

999
01:01:05,218 --> 01:01:07,098
Up until six days ago it was.

1000
01:01:08,297 --> 01:01:09,459
What sort of lift is this?

1001
01:01:09,659 --> 01:01:11,738
Drum and cable. Works from above.

1002
01:01:13,499 --> 01:01:15,098
And how far do we decend?

1003
01:01:15,738 --> 01:01:17,418
One hundred and fifty feet.

1004
01:01:17,658 --> 01:01:19,018
At what rate of speed?

1005
01:01:19,258 --> 01:01:20,538
Two hundred feet per minute.

1006
01:01:22,218 --> 01:01:23,858
We appear to have arrived.

1007
01:01:24,058 --> 01:01:25,499
Yes, so we have.

1008
01:01:32,938 --> 01:01:35,058
I presume this combination
also differs from its fellows

1009
01:01:35,258 --> 01:01:36,978
and is changed
every ninety days as well?

1010
01:01:37,138 --> 01:01:38,058
Correct, sir.

1011
01:01:39,819 --> 01:01:41,018
And now, Mr Holmes,

1012
01:01:42,058 --> 01:01:44,899
I'm gonna ask you to see for yourself
what I can only describe as

1013
01:01:45,058 --> 01:01:48,698
the most dismal sight the world
has ever seen.

1014
01:02:38,058 --> 01:02:39,018
Extraordinary!

1015
01:02:39,658 --> 01:02:42,058
They had to cut through over two feet
of rock and concrete.

1016
01:02:42,257 --> 01:02:43,778
The noise must have been deafening.

1017
01:02:43,938 --> 01:02:46,098
Since they've been working on the subway
you could set off dynamite

1018
01:02:46,298 --> 01:02:47,298
and no-one would hear it.

1019
01:02:47,458 --> 01:02:50,217
It's a condition that doubtless
was taken advantage of.

1020
01:02:52,459 --> 01:02:54,859
Two pieces of bullion
were left behind you say. Where?

1021
01:02:55,018 --> 01:02:56,938
Ah, one in the tunnel there.

1022
01:02:57,337 --> 01:02:59,779
One fifty feet
south of the main excavation.

1023
01:02:59,978 --> 01:03:01,818
Well, that makes it clear enough,
doesn't it Holmes?

1024
01:03:02,018 --> 01:03:04,699
They made off in that direction
with their boodle.

1025
01:03:05,418 --> 01:03:08,618
One would immediately accept that
conclusion, I quite agree with you.

1026
01:03:09,258 --> 01:03:11,898
I should like to take
a closer look at the vauts now.

1027
01:03:33,819 --> 01:03:37,138
How many pieces of actual gold
were stored here?

1028
01:03:37,338 --> 01:03:39,258
Just prior to the theft,
these vaults held

1029
01:03:39,418 --> 01:03:41,218
eighteen million pounds of gold,

1030
01:03:41,418 --> 01:03:44,779
consisting of
360,000 fifty-pound blocks.

1031
01:03:44,978 --> 01:03:47,499
Each block valued at $28,000.

1032
01:03:48,538 --> 01:03:52,698
360,000 blocks of gold removed from here
and no-one noticed it.

1033
01:03:53,418 --> 01:03:57,458
If we weren't standing here looking
at these vaults I'd say it was impossible.

1034
01:03:57,659 --> 01:04:00,058
Yes, I should say so, too.
I should like to return to the lift.

1035
01:04:04,297 --> 01:04:05,499
Mr McGraw,

1036
01:04:05,818 --> 01:04:08,698
this, er, hatchway, does it provide
access to the overhead drum and cable?

1037
01:04:08,898 --> 01:04:09,818
Yes, yes.

1038
01:04:12,218 --> 01:04:15,738
Watson, give me a leg up will you?
- Oh, Inspector? There you are Holmes.

1039
01:04:30,699 --> 01:04:32,459
Thank you, Watson.
- There we are.

1040
01:04:32,698 --> 01:04:33,579
Thank you.

1041
01:04:33,778 --> 01:04:36,459
Well, gentlemen, I think I've seen
all I need to see.

1042
01:04:37,098 --> 01:04:38,698
I have one final enquiry
to make elsewhere,

1043
01:04:38,898 --> 01:04:42,098
after which I believe I should be able
to make all the pieces fit together,

1044
01:04:42,258 --> 01:04:43,538
and come up with the solution.

1045
01:04:43,698 --> 01:04:44,618
And the gold?

1046
01:04:45,338 --> 01:04:48,618
The gold, of course, will be forthcoming
with the solution to the problem.

1047
01:04:48,858 --> 01:04:51,098
In time for the transfer of the bullion
tomorrow morning?

1048
01:04:51,298 --> 01:04:53,257
It is my fondest wish.

1049
01:04:58,378 --> 01:04:59,858
Where are we off to now?

1050
01:05:00,058 --> 01:05:02,378
To pay a call on
Thomas Balance and Company,

1051
01:05:02,539 --> 01:05:04,298
the firm that designed the underground.

1052
01:05:04,498 --> 01:05:06,818
I wish to ascertain
the depth of the excavation

1053
01:05:06,978 --> 01:05:09,578
at the point at which it passes
under the Bouwerie National Bank.

1054
01:05:09,738 --> 01:05:10,698
Er, cab!

1055
01:05:10,858 --> 01:05:13,218
And I shall be most astonished, Watson,
if we're not told

1056
01:05:13,417 --> 01:05:15,898
the figure is precisely
one-hundred-and-fifty feet.

1057
01:05:17,499 --> 01:05:19,218
We wish to go to
Thomas Balance and Company.

1058
01:05:19,378 --> 01:05:22,138
You'll find it at 45th Street
and 6th Avenue, I believe.

1059
01:05:29,098 --> 01:05:32,699
Precisely one-hundred-and-fifty feet,
Mr Holmes.

1060
01:05:32,938 --> 01:05:33,858
Thank you.

1061
01:05:34,018 --> 01:05:34,938
Bless me soul!

1062
01:05:36,138 --> 01:05:38,258
Well, what have ya found out?
- Everything.

1063
01:05:38,459 --> 01:05:41,578
Everything?
You mean, you know where the gold is?

1064
01:05:42,217 --> 01:05:44,058
Why, I knew that
the moment we decended in the lift.

1065
01:05:44,218 --> 01:05:45,858
I merely wanted to
double-check my certainty.

1066
01:05:46,058 --> 01:05:47,178
Well, where is it?

1067
01:05:47,978 --> 01:05:50,938
We were standing on it.
- We were sta...? Holmes!

1068
01:05:51,138 --> 01:05:52,858
Well, don't you see
what the wily devil has done?

1069
01:05:53,058 --> 01:05:55,978
No, I don't. And I'm sure
I'd be delighted if you told me.

1070
01:05:56,218 --> 01:05:58,138
Oh, very well, Watson, consider this:

1071
01:05:58,298 --> 01:06:01,818
360,000 blocks of gold,
each weighing fifty pounds apiece.

1072
01:06:02,018 --> 01:06:04,978
Now, give Moriarty a hundred,
say two hundred men,

1073
01:06:05,178 --> 01:06:07,978
each of them able to carry able to carry
a fifty-pound block of gold.

1074
01:06:08,178 --> 01:06:09,377
Very well. What then?

1075
01:06:09,538 --> 01:06:11,098
Er, thank you, my man.

1076
01:06:13,018 --> 01:06:15,298
Each one of those two hundred men
would have to carry

1077
01:06:15,499 --> 01:06:17,978
1,800 blocks of gold from the vaults.

1078
01:06:19,018 --> 01:06:21,578
Now, to carry
a single fifty-pound block of gold,

1079
01:06:22,138 --> 01:06:24,778
from the vaults, through the tunnel
to some conveyance

1080
01:06:24,938 --> 01:06:28,258
waiting in the underground excavation,
and return for a second block

1081
01:06:28,418 --> 01:06:31,177
could not be reasonably accomplished
in less than ten minutes.

1082
01:06:31,498 --> 01:06:36,698
That is 180,000 minutes, or three hundred
hours to complete the task.

1083
01:06:37,818 --> 01:06:40,058
That is over twelve days, Watson.

1084
01:06:40,377 --> 01:06:43,578
And yet the gold was still there
seven days ago.

1085
01:06:45,499 --> 01:06:47,418
Mr McGraw's instincts were quite correct.

1086
01:06:47,978 --> 01:06:51,098
The task appears impossible despite
the evidence of those empty vaults.

1087
01:06:51,258 --> 01:06:52,659
But Holmes, they were empty.

1088
01:06:52,819 --> 01:06:53,698
Thank you.

1089
01:06:53,858 --> 01:06:54,978
Those vaults were.

1090
01:06:55,138 --> 01:06:57,098
"Those vaults"?
What on earth are ya suggestin'?

1091
01:06:57,298 --> 01:06:58,898
When I asked
how far down the lift went

1092
01:06:59,098 --> 01:07:00,538
I was told
one-hundred-and-fifty feet.

1093
01:07:00,738 --> 01:07:03,659
Meaning the vault was one-hundred-
and-fifty feet below the bank.

1094
01:07:03,898 --> 01:07:06,178
But, the depth of the underground
excavation at that point

1095
01:07:06,378 --> 01:07:07,698
was also one-hundred-and-fifty feet.

1096
01:07:07,858 --> 01:07:09,418
Now, when I examined
the overhead cable

1097
01:07:09,578 --> 01:07:12,058
while the lift was presumably
at the bottom of the shaft,

1098
01:07:12,539 --> 01:07:15,498
there still remained ten feet
wrapped around the drum.

1099
01:07:15,978 --> 01:07:19,258
Mr McGraw told me the rate of descent
was two hundred feet per minute,

1100
01:07:19,658 --> 01:07:23,338
which means it should've taken forty-five
seconds to reach the bottom of the shaft.

1101
01:07:23,539 --> 01:07:25,018
It only took forty-two.

1102
01:07:25,258 --> 01:07:26,738
Oh, and I'm sure you noticed

1103
01:07:26,898 --> 01:07:30,297
that the tunnel from the vaults to the
underground excavation slanted downwards.

1104
01:07:30,858 --> 01:07:31,818
Oh, did it?

1105
01:07:33,498 --> 01:07:36,699
Watson, there is only one
inescapable conclusion:

1106
01:07:37,098 --> 01:07:40,458
The vaults we examined
were not the vaults containing the gold,

1107
01:07:40,699 --> 01:07:45,018
but an exact replica built directly
above the actual vaults.

1108
01:07:45,417 --> 01:07:47,979
It will be discovered,
I am confident,

1109
01:07:48,619 --> 01:07:50,738
that when the floor
of the lift is removed,

1110
01:07:50,938 --> 01:07:53,178
iron bars will have been
inserted into the shaft

1111
01:07:53,378 --> 01:07:57,337
to stop the lift decending the
remaining ten feet into the actual vault,

1112
01:07:57,658 --> 01:08:02,698
where all the gold still safely resides.

1113
01:08:04,458 --> 01:08:08,138
But, Holmes, the vault door,
the combination lock,

1114
01:08:09,098 --> 01:08:11,098
the cages themselves, everything.

1115
01:08:11,338 --> 01:08:13,739
Duplicated down to the smallest detail.

1116
01:08:14,458 --> 01:08:17,938
A member of McGraw's staff must have
thrown in his luck with Moriarty

1117
01:08:18,138 --> 01:08:20,058
and provided him with all
the necessary information.

1118
01:08:20,258 --> 01:08:21,738
But that must have taken them months.

1119
01:08:21,938 --> 01:08:25,578
Yes, and with hundreds of men employed
upon the construction of the underground,

1120
01:08:25,738 --> 01:08:28,699
who would notice
a handful of Moriarty's cohorts

1121
01:08:28,898 --> 01:08:31,459
tunnelling for purposes of their own?

1122
01:08:33,257 --> 01:08:36,858
But, Holmes, you were certain of all this
when we were still with Inspector Lafferty.

1123
01:08:37,178 --> 01:08:38,458
But you said nothin'.

1124
01:08:38,618 --> 01:08:39,539
Why?

1125
01:08:42,378 --> 01:08:43,338
Watson, I...

1126
01:08:44,778 --> 01:08:46,778
I still fear for the boy's life.

1127
01:08:48,859 --> 01:08:50,218
But he's safe at home.

1128
01:08:50,417 --> 01:08:53,659
Only so long as Moriarty
still believes him prisoner.

1129
01:08:55,579 --> 01:08:57,659
Tomorrow's newpapers hold the key.

1130
01:08:58,138 --> 01:09:01,658
If the theft is reported, then Moriarty
will know that I have obeyed his orders

1131
01:09:01,858 --> 01:09:03,098
and it will be safe to release Scott.

1132
01:09:03,258 --> 01:09:04,218
But, on the other hand,

1133
01:09:04,417 --> 01:09:07,378
if the financial pages carry news
of the transaction of the gold.

1134
01:09:07,538 --> 01:09:09,418
Then he will know that I have tricked him.

1135
01:09:09,579 --> 01:09:13,258
He will hasten to seize Scott
from Madamoiselle Romaine,

1136
01:09:13,819 --> 01:09:15,899
and when he finds
that I have forestalled him

1137
01:09:16,138 --> 01:09:18,218
his rage will be so towering

1138
01:09:18,459 --> 01:09:22,018
that he will not rest until he has taken
his revenge upon me through Scott.

1139
01:09:23,539 --> 01:09:25,018
I must know where Moriarty is.

1140
01:09:25,178 --> 01:09:26,778
Until he is in
the custody of the police

1141
01:09:26,978 --> 01:09:28,738
I cannot safely reveal
the location of the gold

1142
01:09:28,938 --> 01:09:30,858
No other course of action
is permissible.

1143
01:09:31,178 --> 01:09:33,337
But how on earth
can you expect to manage that?

1144
01:09:33,498 --> 01:09:37,258
It took you half a year to ferret out
the man's lodgings in limehouse.

1145
01:09:40,218 --> 01:09:42,858
Watson, I'm not too proud to learn.

1146
01:09:43,337 --> 01:09:46,498
Why not use his method
in ferreting me out.

1147
01:09:46,698 --> 01:09:48,378
Holmes, where're you going?

1148
01:09:48,938 --> 01:09:51,578
Back to that most
admirable establishment.

1149
01:09:51,819 --> 01:09:53,658
Eve's Costume Company.

1150
01:09:56,499 --> 01:09:58,698
Oh, dressin' up again, I take it.

1151
01:09:59,257 --> 01:10:02,018
I wonder what he's going as this time.
Huh!

1152
01:11:10,778 --> 01:11:11,738
Cab!

1153
01:11:11,898 --> 01:11:12,858
Cab.

1154
01:11:15,658 --> 01:11:16,699
Follow that cab.

1155
01:12:12,858 --> 01:12:15,177
Charles Nickers, I presume.

1156
01:12:15,658 --> 01:12:17,058
Put your hands in the air.

1157
01:12:17,258 --> 01:12:20,098
My name is Sherlock Holmes,
I dare say you've heard of me.

1158
01:12:20,298 --> 01:12:21,418
Cor, blimey!

1159
01:12:21,579 --> 01:12:24,858
Yes, I've often wondered why he hasn't
chosen to do just that on many an occasion.

1160
01:12:25,018 --> 01:12:27,417
Now, unless you wish
to go the way of your brother Bill,

1161
01:12:27,619 --> 01:12:28,978
you'll tell me
who is in that building.

1162
01:12:30,138 --> 01:12:32,337
The professor.
- And how many others?

1163
01:12:32,498 --> 01:12:34,698
Speak sharply man,
or you'll swing for it.

1164
01:12:38,298 --> 01:12:39,978
Holmes!

1165
01:12:40,137 --> 01:12:41,619
Constable, here is my card.

1166
01:12:41,779 --> 01:12:43,978
Take this man in charge and get word
to Inspector Lafferty at once

1167
01:12:44,178 --> 01:12:47,178
that the building behind me is to be
surrounded and its occupants arrested.

1168
01:12:47,338 --> 01:12:50,018
Tell him I will provide him
with full details directly.

1169
01:13:00,298 --> 01:13:02,018
Thank you. Keep the change.

1170
01:13:19,178 --> 01:13:22,218
I suggest you take these words
to heart, my man.

1171
01:13:33,498 --> 01:13:34,778
There you are, Heller.

1172
01:13:35,018 --> 01:13:37,018
Get that to Inspector Lafferty
as quickly as possible.

1173
01:13:37,218 --> 01:13:38,138
Yes, sir.

1174
01:13:38,699 --> 01:13:42,218
Within the half hour, Professor Moriarty
and his entire American organisation

1175
01:13:42,417 --> 01:13:43,619
will be in custody.

1176
01:13:43,779 --> 01:13:45,898
Irene, your fears are at an end.

1177
01:13:47,018 --> 01:13:48,018
Scott...

1178
01:13:49,499 --> 01:13:53,098
Well, young man, you have had
more than an adventure, much more.

1179
01:13:53,459 --> 01:13:56,138
You've aided in the capture of
the world's most notorious criminal

1180
01:13:56,338 --> 01:14:00,058
and you have been instrumental in
preventing a devastating world war.

1181
01:14:00,298 --> 01:14:01,658
Well, I wish I'd known all that, sir.

1182
01:14:01,818 --> 01:14:04,018
I wouldn't have slept through
so much of it.

1183
01:14:04,298 --> 01:14:06,018
Well said!

1184
01:14:06,218 --> 01:14:07,338
He's a bright boy.

1185
01:14:09,418 --> 01:14:11,658
Goodbye, Scott.
- Goodbye, Mr Holmes.

1186
01:14:16,058 --> 01:14:17,058
I must be off.

1187
01:14:18,018 --> 01:14:19,098
Must you leave now?

1188
01:14:21,098 --> 01:14:24,138
I am anxious to hear of
Inspector Lafferty's success.

1189
01:14:26,218 --> 01:14:29,178
And I must get this ridiculous outfit
back to the costumier.

1190
01:14:29,738 --> 01:14:31,499
I shall see you to the door.

1191
01:14:45,098 --> 01:14:46,378
It's amazing, Irene.

1192
01:14:47,058 --> 01:14:51,258
You haven't changed at all since
that week in Montenegro. When was it?

1193
01:14:51,738 --> 01:14:53,898
1891?
- What?

1194
01:14:54,218 --> 01:14:55,898
Not changed in ten years?

1195
01:14:56,498 --> 01:15:00,018
Sherlock, how gallant of you.
But come now, ten years.

1196
01:15:00,458 --> 01:15:01,819
I notice nothing.

1197
01:15:03,337 --> 01:15:05,459
Sherlock Holmes notices nothing.

1198
01:15:06,058 --> 01:15:08,137
Why, am I so different, then?

1199
01:15:09,257 --> 01:15:11,338
No. Far from it.

1200
01:15:12,218 --> 01:15:14,699
That was my first thought
when you burst in here.

1201
01:15:14,978 --> 01:15:17,818
"My heavens,
it's as though it were yesterday."

1202
01:15:18,499 --> 01:15:21,898
I hadn't known,
after that first misadventure

1203
01:15:22,058 --> 01:15:24,378
from which I managed to extricate you,

1204
01:15:24,778 --> 01:15:26,218
that you'd married again.

1205
01:15:26,698 --> 01:15:28,499
I have never re-married, Sherlock.

1206
01:15:29,018 --> 01:15:29,978
Oh, I see.

1207
01:15:32,499 --> 01:15:34,218
You were appearing in Rigoletto.

1208
01:15:34,618 --> 01:15:36,459
And you were on a walking tour.

1209
01:15:37,178 --> 01:15:39,338
I remember thinking to myself,
"What a...

1210
01:15:39,978 --> 01:15:44,098
"What an unlikely place
to come across you. Montenegro.

1211
01:15:44,298 --> 01:15:49,018
"You, who were always attracted
by the bright lights of the metropolis."

1212
01:15:50,018 --> 01:15:52,218
I remember thinking the same about you.

1213
01:15:52,618 --> 01:15:56,698
"What an unlikely place to find someone
who is never at home outside London."

1214
01:15:57,257 --> 01:15:59,178
Until then.

1215
01:16:07,898 --> 01:16:09,177
Eight o'clock.

1216
01:16:10,858 --> 01:16:13,738
If things have gone well,
and they cannot fail to have done so,

1217
01:16:13,898 --> 01:16:15,338
I shall get word to you.

1218
01:16:15,658 --> 01:16:16,858
Then, perhaps...

1219
01:16:18,218 --> 01:16:20,218
The three of us could
take supper together.

1220
01:16:22,217 --> 01:16:23,978
And I don't mean Watson.

1221
01:16:25,899 --> 01:16:27,539
I shall wait for your message.

1222
01:16:37,819 --> 01:16:38,779
Holmes?

1223
01:16:38,978 --> 01:16:40,177
Holmes, where have you been?

1224
01:16:40,378 --> 01:16:41,858
We've been waiting
gooness knows how long.

1225
01:16:42,058 --> 01:16:43,739
For me?
What is it, Watson?

1226
01:16:45,018 --> 01:16:46,018
Inspector.

1227
01:16:46,538 --> 01:16:48,298
Didn't you get my message?
- I did.

1228
01:16:48,619 --> 01:16:52,257
That fella Nickers revealed the name of
McGraw's man who co-operated with Moriarty.

1229
01:16:52,417 --> 01:16:53,658
He's been arrested.

1230
01:16:53,898 --> 01:16:57,699
The warehouse has been seized and fifteen
of Moriarty's men are in jail right now.

1231
01:16:57,859 --> 01:16:59,538
But not Moriarty!

1232
01:17:01,738 --> 01:17:03,018
"Not Moriarty"?

1233
01:17:04,218 --> 01:17:06,218
Is this true?
- I'm afraid so.

1234
01:17:07,178 --> 01:17:09,098
He abandoned his men
and slipped through our net.

1235
01:17:10,619 --> 01:17:13,138
We must get to Irene's house
on the instant.

1236
01:17:13,298 --> 01:17:15,499
Scott Adler is in the most extreme peril.

1237
01:17:15,819 --> 01:17:17,459
Into this wagon, quickly.

1238
01:17:17,898 --> 01:17:19,538
14 Gramercy Park.

1239
01:17:29,018 --> 01:17:30,779
But they're not here, Mr Holmes.

1240
01:17:30,978 --> 01:17:32,297
"Not here"?
Where are they?

1241
01:17:32,458 --> 01:17:34,739
They went to meet you, sir.
You sent them that telegram.

1242
01:17:34,899 --> 01:17:36,218
Telegram? What telegram?

1243
01:17:38,859 --> 01:17:41,658
"Meet me at the fountain in the park
within the hour. Sherlock."

1244
01:17:42,218 --> 01:17:44,538
I have sent them directly
into his hands.

1245
01:17:45,658 --> 01:17:48,618
When did they leave?
- Why, within the half-hour.

1246
01:17:49,458 --> 01:17:51,258
Quick Watson, Inspector.

1247
01:17:51,459 --> 01:17:53,539
The game's afoot,
we have not a moment to lose.

1248
01:17:55,898 --> 01:17:58,698
Washington Circle. It's an emergency.

1249
01:18:00,778 --> 01:18:01,738
Yah!

1250
01:18:17,499 --> 01:18:19,018
There's Mr Holmes, now, Mama.

1251
01:18:27,659 --> 01:18:28,939
Scott, run!

1252
01:18:31,378 --> 01:18:33,618
In with you! Come on, get in.
Get in there!

1253
01:18:33,818 --> 01:18:34,578
Stand back woman.

1254
01:18:34,778 --> 01:18:36,298
Back, back! Stand back!

1255
01:18:42,058 --> 01:18:43,018
This is it.

1256
01:18:43,898 --> 01:18:45,659
I say, look, there's Miss Adler.

1257
01:18:49,578 --> 01:18:50,538
Sherlock.

1258
01:18:50,698 --> 01:18:52,098
Sherlock, they have him.
They have him again.

1259
01:18:52,298 --> 01:18:53,178
Where?

1260
01:18:53,338 --> 01:18:54,938
What are we going to do?
- Holmes, there!

1261
01:18:55,098 --> 01:18:56,978
Just rounding the corner,
the chap driving the cab.

1262
01:19:00,858 --> 01:19:02,058
Those are the ones.

1263
01:19:02,539 --> 01:19:04,579
Inspector, we must overtake that cab.

1264
01:19:04,778 --> 01:19:07,498
Come, Watson!
- That cab headed south. Catch up with it.

1265
01:19:20,619 --> 01:19:21,579
Hurry UP!

1266
01:19:24,938 --> 01:19:26,499
Hah! Hah!

1267
01:19:36,778 --> 01:19:37,659
Faster!

1268
01:19:37,898 --> 01:19:38,619
Faster!

1269
01:19:38,938 --> 01:19:39,898
Yah!

1270
01:19:40,297 --> 01:19:41,258
Yah!

1271
01:19:46,778 --> 01:19:48,218
We're gaining on them.

1272
01:19:48,459 --> 01:19:49,418
Giddy-up.

1273
01:20:10,498 --> 01:20:11,738
Faster!

1274
01:20:12,058 --> 01:20:13,418
Faster!

1275
01:20:13,579 --> 01:20:14,539
Hah! Hah!

1276
01:20:19,498 --> 01:20:20,618
We're gaining on 'em.

1277
01:20:21,018 --> 01:20:22,698
Look out for that wagon up ahead, man.

1278
01:20:23,058 --> 01:20:24,297
Get out of the way!

1279
01:20:24,858 --> 01:20:26,459
Get out of the way, I say!

1280
01:20:29,658 --> 01:20:31,499
Don't stop now, man. Just go!

1281
01:20:32,978 --> 01:20:34,138
Oh, I say!

1282
01:20:53,257 --> 01:20:54,218
Woah!

1283
01:20:54,618 --> 01:20:55,539
Woah.

1284
01:20:59,338 --> 01:21:00,779
They're hot on our heels, Professor.

1285
01:21:03,257 --> 01:21:06,218
Step lively, boy. Through that door
and up those stairs, smart.

1286
01:21:20,858 --> 01:21:23,058
His secret headquarters.
They brought him here.

1287
01:21:23,258 --> 01:21:25,337
Round up a squad
as soon as you can.

1288
01:21:30,218 --> 01:21:32,378
Shall we burst in a seize them?
- No.

1289
01:21:33,258 --> 01:21:35,018
No, Inspector. I must go in alone.

1290
01:21:35,658 --> 01:21:37,898
Who knows what harm
he might do to Scott, if cornered.

1291
01:21:38,058 --> 01:21:41,018
And I'm sure these premises
blaze with hidden pitfalls.

1292
01:21:41,338 --> 01:21:45,098
When the lad comes out of this door,
unharmed, then you may come in after me.

1293
01:21:45,818 --> 01:21:46,859
Scott!

1294
01:21:51,738 --> 01:21:55,257
Fear not, Irene.
You shall not long be parted.

1295
01:22:00,699 --> 01:22:02,858
You know what to do.
Ready the launch.

1296
01:22:06,217 --> 01:22:08,779
Don't move boy,
or it'll be the finish of ya.

1297
01:22:09,499 --> 01:22:12,218
We'll join you as soon as I've completed
one final bit of business.

1298
01:22:16,218 --> 01:22:18,499
Mr Holmes, I thought it might be you.

1299
01:22:18,778 --> 01:22:20,858
I have no doubt of that, at all.

1300
01:22:23,818 --> 01:22:24,778
Well...

1301
01:22:25,258 --> 01:22:27,258
A little touch of London, I see.

1302
01:22:27,898 --> 01:22:30,258
You must really feel at home
in this chamber of horrors

1303
01:22:30,418 --> 01:22:32,297
to duplicate it wherever you go.

1304
01:22:34,218 --> 01:22:36,058
You may release the boy now.

1305
01:22:36,257 --> 01:22:38,618
I'm the one you want and here I stand.

1306
01:22:39,178 --> 01:22:40,658
Let the lad return to his mother.

1307
01:22:40,858 --> 01:22:43,898
You're wrong, Mr Holmes,
I've got what I want, I've got the boy.

1308
01:22:47,579 --> 01:22:49,738
Dare you cross the room to fetch him?

1309
01:22:58,138 --> 01:23:00,698
That passage leads to the river
where a steam launch waits.

1310
01:23:00,898 --> 01:23:02,498
The boy comes with me.
You'll never see him again.

1311
01:23:02,658 --> 01:23:03,738
Neither you, nor his mother.

1312
01:23:03,898 --> 01:23:05,658
That's the revenge I'll have of you.

1313
01:23:05,818 --> 01:23:08,377
You'll, neither of you,
ever see this precious boy again.

1314
01:23:10,858 --> 01:23:13,258
Blast you, boy!
- Well done, Scott!

1315
01:23:25,498 --> 01:23:26,378
Run, Scott!

1316
01:23:26,539 --> 01:23:27,659
Run for your life!

1317
01:23:32,459 --> 01:23:34,218
Good lord, who fired that shot?

1318
01:23:37,898 --> 01:23:38,779
Mama!

1319
01:23:39,058 --> 01:23:40,018
Scott!

1320
01:23:40,498 --> 01:23:42,538
Scott. Oh, my darling.

1321
01:23:43,178 --> 01:23:44,698
I'm going in, Inspector.

1322
01:23:45,499 --> 01:23:46,498
Come on!

1323
01:24:11,659 --> 01:24:12,619
Holmes!

1324
01:24:13,178 --> 01:24:15,539
Professor Moriarty, drop your hands.

1325
01:24:20,619 --> 01:24:22,018
Holmes, good heavens!

1326
01:24:22,618 --> 01:24:25,539
Come on, gentlemen, over here.
I've got him. Pull him out.

1327
01:24:29,898 --> 01:24:30,938
Thank you, gentlemen.

1328
01:24:31,138 --> 01:24:32,858
Are you all right, sir?
- Yes, thank you.

1329
01:24:33,338 --> 01:24:35,539
Moriarty!
- Good night, Mr Holmes.

1330
01:24:37,739 --> 01:24:39,098
Quick, he's getting away.

1331
01:24:39,499 --> 01:24:41,739
Back, sir. Back, sir!

1332
01:24:44,858 --> 01:24:47,018
Let the victory be yours this time.

1333
01:24:47,218 --> 01:24:49,778
But there'll be other battles
on other battlefields.

1334
01:24:49,938 --> 01:24:52,298
And victory's such a temporary thing.

1335
01:24:52,458 --> 01:24:54,298
Isn't it, Mr Holmes?

1336
01:24:54,858 --> 01:24:56,018
Good night, again.

1337
01:24:57,818 --> 01:25:00,018
Where in the world
would it lead to, Holmes?

1338
01:25:01,538 --> 01:25:04,298
To the river, where he has
a steam launch waiting him.

1339
01:25:04,619 --> 01:25:06,699
I'll have a police vessel in his wake
within the hour.

1340
01:25:06,858 --> 01:25:07,738
No, Inspector.

1341
01:25:08,138 --> 01:25:11,898
Within that time he'll be well beyond
the bounds of your jurisdiction.

1342
01:25:12,498 --> 01:25:15,579
I'm afraid the final encounter
between Moriarty and me is yet to come.

1343
01:25:17,819 --> 01:25:21,738
At any rate
I'm assured of the boy's safety.

1344
01:25:22,298 --> 01:25:23,498
Oh, my dear Watson,

1345
01:25:24,297 --> 01:25:26,778
I owe you a profound debt of gratitude.

1346
01:25:27,499 --> 01:25:30,218
That tide would soon have carried me
to a certain death.

1347
01:25:31,258 --> 01:25:33,138
It was a pleasure, Holmes.

1348
01:25:33,337 --> 01:25:34,618
Don't mention it.

1349
01:25:38,138 --> 01:25:39,058
Inspector,

1350
01:25:39,498 --> 01:25:41,738
our quarry may have eluded us

1351
01:25:42,018 --> 01:25:44,218
but his evil scheme has been thwarted.

1352
01:25:45,257 --> 01:25:48,297
What time is the transfer of gold
to take place?

1353
01:25:48,499 --> 01:25:49,698
Eleven, tomorrow morning.

1354
01:25:49,858 --> 01:25:51,978
Then, let us be there at ten-thirty.

1355
01:25:52,138 --> 01:25:54,618
Oh, I assure you, Inspector,
I am not jesting.

1356
01:25:54,778 --> 01:25:56,938
And you will not be disappointed.

1357
01:26:01,458 --> 01:26:03,818
<i>Yes, Lord Brackish,
managing director of the Bank of England,</i>

1358
01:26:04,018 --> 01:26:06,138
was to have been murdered mysteriously.

1359
01:26:06,459 --> 01:26:08,098
His death, of course,
as you can well imagine,

1360
01:26:08,258 --> 01:26:10,538
would have caused great panic
in the world's financial circles.

1361
01:26:10,858 --> 01:26:13,818
This theft was to have been
the culmination of a grand scheme.

1362
01:26:14,138 --> 01:26:17,739
I was able to foil the
assassination attempt of Lord Brackish.

1363
01:26:18,018 --> 01:26:20,658
And I have been able to
forestall the theft of the gold.

1364
01:26:20,818 --> 01:26:25,898
Mr Holmes, I certainly hope
your confidence is not over-expressed.

1365
01:26:27,098 --> 01:26:30,098
Well, you may test its validity
at your convenience, Mr McGraw,

1366
01:26:30,298 --> 01:26:32,018
for we seem to have arrived.

1367
01:27:35,659 --> 01:27:37,098
Last evening,
just before midnight,

1368
01:27:37,258 --> 01:27:39,698
I slipped into the false chamber
and removed the bars

1369
01:27:39,898 --> 01:27:41,578
that were stopping the decent
of the lift.

1370
01:27:41,898 --> 01:27:43,459
Good job nobody saw me, eh?

1371
01:27:43,658 --> 01:27:46,058
Think what the papers
would have made of that!

1372
01:27:46,938 --> 01:27:48,058
Well, gentlemen,

1373
01:27:48,858 --> 01:27:50,498
all present and accounted for?

1374
01:27:50,658 --> 01:27:53,098
No illusion, no sleight of hand,
no mirage.

1375
01:27:53,418 --> 01:27:55,819
If you're satisfied
that all the gold has been returned,

1376
01:27:56,018 --> 01:27:57,778
Doctor Watson and I must be off.

1377
01:27:57,978 --> 01:27:59,659
We have a busy day ahead of us.

1378
01:27:59,818 --> 01:28:01,337
It's our last before returning home.

1379
01:28:01,658 --> 01:28:04,178
Surely you'll do me the honour
of dining with me?

1380
01:28:04,377 --> 01:28:07,498
Regrettably, Mr McGraw, we have to
decline your kind invitation.

1381
01:28:07,899 --> 01:28:09,098
We.

1382
01:28:09,258 --> 01:28:11,298
And a young lad of our acquaintance,

1383
01:28:11,498 --> 01:28:13,698
<i>have tickets this evening for
The Second Mrs Tanqueray.</i>

1384
01:28:13,898 --> 01:28:15,177
Oh.
- Gentlemen.

1385
01:28:17,097 --> 01:28:19,178
Mr Holmes, Mr Holmes!

1386
01:28:20,138 --> 01:28:22,699
Aren't you gonna
explain how you did this?

1387
01:28:23,338 --> 01:28:24,298
No.

1388
01:28:24,858 --> 01:28:27,978
But, I expect one day Dr Watson will.

1389
01:28:34,058 --> 01:28:35,018
Mr Holmes!

1390
01:29:13,258 --> 01:29:14,297
Bravo!

1391
01:29:22,779 --> 01:29:23,978
Thank you.

1392
01:29:24,858 --> 01:29:26,778
Must you really leave at once?

1393
01:29:27,018 --> 01:29:28,378
I'm afraid so.

1394
01:29:28,938 --> 01:29:32,298
There are so many things in England
that require my attention right now.

1395
01:29:33,178 --> 01:29:35,018
All of which you abandoned
to race to my rescue.

1396
01:29:35,499 --> 01:29:36,417
Sherlock,

1397
01:29:36,619 --> 01:29:39,818
now that I'm rescued, can you not
stay a while to enjoy your success?

1398
01:29:41,098 --> 01:29:42,218
I wish I could.

1399
01:29:42,778 --> 01:29:45,659
But the Etruria sails before dawn,

1400
01:29:45,898 --> 01:29:47,418
and Watson and I must pack our things

1401
01:29:47,619 --> 01:29:50,298
before the carriage comes
to take us to the docks.

1402
01:29:51,018 --> 01:29:52,458
What are you running from, Sherlock?

1403
01:29:53,417 --> 01:29:54,377
IIRunningll?

1404
01:29:56,378 --> 01:29:59,618
Well, I...
I suppose inactivity, boredom.

1405
01:29:59,778 --> 01:30:01,258
Are you sure it's not fear?

1406
01:30:02,138 --> 01:30:03,098
Fear?

1407
01:30:04,698 --> 01:30:05,658
Fear of what?

1408
01:30:08,058 --> 01:30:09,019
Perhaps...

1409
01:30:11,418 --> 01:30:12,378
The unknown.

1410
01:30:13,819 --> 01:30:18,459
My dear Irene, it's the, er,
known I fear. I seek the unknown.

1411
01:30:18,698 --> 01:30:21,978
The unknown mystery, the unknown peril.
I yearn for the unknown.

1412
01:30:23,418 --> 01:30:24,779
And for nothing else?

1413
01:30:27,018 --> 01:30:30,058
Sherlock, is there
nothing you'd like to ask me?

1414
01:30:32,459 --> 01:30:33,499
Yes.

1415
01:30:35,098 --> 01:30:36,778
But I cannot.

1416
01:30:37,338 --> 01:30:38,138
Why?

1417
01:30:39,818 --> 01:30:40,738
Well b...

1418
01:30:40,898 --> 01:30:44,378
Because of the possible
answer I might receive.

1419
01:30:44,618 --> 01:30:45,579
I see.

1420
01:30:46,539 --> 01:30:48,538
Well, if you cannot ask it,
I cannot answer it.

1421
01:30:50,298 --> 01:30:51,499
And if...

1422
01:30:52,298 --> 01:30:55,257
I were to ask it?

1423
01:30:55,658 --> 01:30:58,058
And if the answer were the wrong one?

1424
01:30:58,939 --> 01:31:01,819
You see, I too, perhaps,
am in fear of the known.

1425
01:31:03,739 --> 01:31:06,138
Shall we meet again, do you think?

1426
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,778
I should like to think so.

1427
01:31:15,499 --> 01:31:17,459
Shall I continue
to receive theatre tickets?

1428
01:31:17,658 --> 01:31:19,898
So long as I continue to perform.

1429
01:31:23,178 --> 01:31:25,578
With a word or two included
about the boy, perhaps?

1430
01:31:26,138 --> 01:31:27,338
I shall be most happy to.

1431
01:31:30,858 --> 01:31:34,778
A likeable chap, young Scott, really.

1432
01:31:36,298 --> 01:31:37,338
You think so?

1433
01:31:38,218 --> 01:31:39,178
Yes.

1434
01:31:40,938 --> 01:31:43,178
What are his interests, mainly?

1435
01:31:47,338 --> 01:31:49,978
He seems to have a fondness

1436
01:31:51,498 --> 01:31:52,778
for music,

1437
01:31:53,578 --> 01:31:54,938
and solving problems.

1438
01:31:57,578 --> 01:31:58,538
L.-

1439
01:31:59,338 --> 01:32:00,459
I see.

1440
01:32:07,257 --> 01:32:10,698
Well, would you perhaps have another
picture of the boy I could have?

1441
01:32:18,058 --> 01:32:19,178
Take this one.

1442
01:32:20,778 --> 01:32:22,377
It must be your favourite.

1443
01:32:22,538 --> 01:32:23,658
It is.

1444
01:32:27,738 --> 01:32:29,098
I shall treasure it.

1445
01:32:30,218 --> 01:32:31,257
Always.

1446
01:32:40,539 --> 01:32:42,218
Yes, by George,
two hours we're at sea.

1447
01:32:42,418 --> 01:32:44,218
Ten days we're back in London.
Back in Baker Street.

1448
01:32:44,539 --> 01:32:45,858
Back where you can drink
a proper cup of tea.

1449
01:32:46,018 --> 01:32:47,658
Hail a proper hansom
if you want one.

1450
01:32:47,858 --> 01:32:49,899
Even travel the underground
if it suits your purposes.

1451
01:32:50,459 --> 01:32:52,698
Don't know about you Holmes, but I've
failed to discover a single feature

1452
01:32:52,858 --> 01:32:55,499
of this New York City
that we've not got threefold in London.

1453
01:32:56,459 --> 01:32:57,498
Have you, Holmes?

1454
01:33:03,098 --> 01:33:04,378
Perhaps not, Watson.

1455
01:33:05,499 --> 01:33:06,459
Perhaps not.
