00:03:00Good gentlemen, the price is much too low.
00:03:02I could not possibly sell so rare a book for such a price.
00:03:07I will induce Dr. Tobel to come on a visit to my shop
00:03:10as we pass the alleyway.
00:03:13You are interested in this book?
00:03:15A rare old set of Bismarck papers.
00:03:20One last warning.
00:03:21I've just had word from Berlin.
00:03:24The English fine hunter will try to take Dr. Tobel
00:03:26from under our very eyes.
00:03:28We are sending a stupid, bumbling, amateur detective.
00:03:31His name is Holmes, or Holmes, or some such foolishness.
00:03:34You will never escape from Switzerland alive.
00:03:36Now, quick, let me throw him out of here.
00:03:40And watch for my signal from Dr. Tobel's window.
00:03:43But gentlemen, you promised to buy one of my books.
00:03:46I told you no.
00:03:47Stop bothering us.
00:03:58French, English, how I hate those languages.
00:04:13Calm yourself, my dear Bron.
00:04:15In a short time, there will be only one language.
00:04:17Good evening, Dr. Tobel.
00:04:38I have here some very interesting scientific books.
00:04:41I thought you might like to see them.
00:04:43Please come in.
00:04:46He's entering the house.
00:04:47Quickly, get the car and have the motor running.
00:04:48I will follow.
00:04:49Here, X will have the Tobel bombsite of the Fuhrer
00:04:51while this Holmes is still having his tea.
00:04:53Now.
00:04:54Now.
00:05:24What are you doing?
00:05:29I am sorry.
00:05:31But for months, every move I have made has been watched.
00:05:35I am not a coward, Mr. Holmes.
00:05:36They won't watch you anymore.
00:05:37Tonight, they intend to take you forcibly
00:05:39across the German border.
00:05:40Then why do we wait here, doing nothing,
00:05:42like rats in a trap?
00:05:44Calm yourself, my dear Dr. Tobel.
00:05:46We shall not only escape their trap,
00:05:48but we shall also take the cheese away with us.
00:05:51But, but how?
00:05:53The four sections of your bombsite
00:05:56fit inside these ponderous tomes.
00:05:58Although, I must confess that I shy to the thought
00:06:00of disempowering a complete set of Charles Dickens.
00:06:03Ah, but you cannot hide me in a hollow book.
00:06:06My dear fellow,
00:06:07I am sorry that my good friend, Dr. Watson,
00:06:09isn't here to explain to you
00:06:11that my preparations are never slipshod.
00:06:18Stephan!
00:06:19Eric!
00:06:20Why do you call my servants?
00:06:21Your servants, yes.
00:06:22But tonight they assume new roles.
00:06:24Let me present Dr. Tobel
00:06:25and our old friend the bookseller.
00:06:27Holmes, it is so simple.
00:06:29Yes, the obvious always appears simple.
00:06:31Quick now.
00:06:32We must leave.
00:06:33Stephan!
00:06:34The knapsack.
00:06:52I have an open room.
00:06:53I have an open room for you.
00:06:55I have to advise you.
00:07:01I am.
00:07:12Bye, dear.
00:07:13Goodbye, dear.
00:07:14I have a wonderful voice.
00:07:16Stefan and Eric are proving excellent to Koys.
00:07:20And the Gestapo has been fooled?
00:07:22Completely.
00:07:26Her servants are leading them into the next street.
00:07:28But what will happen to Stefan and Eric?
00:07:30Nothing. Don't worry.
00:07:32I've taken care of that.
00:07:36The way is Kier. Come on, quick.
00:07:46You would take the Nazi's own car.
00:07:50One must adapt oneself to the tools at hand.
00:08:04Don't you think you made them believe you're a harmless old bookseller?
00:08:07Yes, I've always felt that a fellow knowledge of the classics might come in handy.
00:08:16But how can we get across the border?
00:08:18And through France.
00:08:19There's no need to get across.
00:08:21At this very moment a Royal Air Force plane is waiting for us at a secret landing place.
00:08:40How long before we arrive in London?
00:08:42In a very few minutes. We're passing over Dover now.
00:09:10You don't have to get used to our London blackouts, Dr. Turbell.
00:09:15Dr. Watson's. Very untidy fellow.
00:09:45What are we going to do with these?
00:09:48A problem of the most elementary nature, my dear Dr. Tovell.
00:09:58You are going to keep them here?
00:10:00I have always believed in the theory,
00:10:03originally projected by Edgar Allan Poe, the American writer,
00:10:06that the best place to hide anything
00:10:09is where everyone can see it.
00:10:11Yes, but...
00:10:12You will remember, no doubt,
00:10:14in Poe's story, the furloined letter.
00:10:18And the missive in question
00:10:21was always in plain view.
00:10:28Hands up, gentlemen.
00:10:31Scotland Yard, quick!
00:10:44Oh, my goodness!
00:10:46Good evening, Mrs. Hudson.
00:10:49Oh, why, it's Mr. Holmes.
00:10:52Holmes!
00:10:53It's good to see you again. Telephone.
00:10:56Huh? Who do you want?
00:10:59Oh, yes, you're Scotland Yard.
00:11:01I'm afraid there's been a little mistake.
00:11:03Well, you didn't get angry.
00:11:05We all make mistakes at times.
00:11:07What?
00:11:08Well, if we didn't, you'd be out of a job.
00:11:10Dr. Tobel, this is my friend and associate,
00:11:13and as you may have observed, my watchdog, Dr. Watson.
00:11:16How do you do, sir? How do you do?
00:11:18Dr. Tobel and I flew in from Zurich this evening.
00:11:20You can put that thing away now, Watson.
00:11:22Dr. Tobel,
00:11:25a warrior of amassing a request for physics in 1939.
00:11:28My dear Watson, there is only one Dr. Tobel.
00:11:31Without Mr. Holmes, there would have been no Dr. Tobel, I am afraid.
00:11:34But I thought you were living in America, sir.
00:11:36I have been working in Switzerland for the past two years.
00:11:39And Holmes got you out?
00:11:40In the nick of time.
00:11:42There was not a point he overlooked.
00:11:44Every contingency was foreseen and provided for.
00:11:47It was magnificent.
00:11:49Thank you, Doctor.
00:11:50That problem was not without its interesting points.
00:11:53Is there anything you would like, Mr. Holmes?
00:11:55Oh, thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
00:11:56You can go to bed now.
00:11:57You gave me an awful fright dressed up like that.
00:12:00Well, good night, sir.
00:12:02He's quite right.
00:12:03You can't blame me for jumping to the conclusion that I did.
00:12:05He looked like a broken-down musician.
00:12:07Holmes, why didn't you take your fiddle with you?
00:12:11I never did think much of this dressing-up business.
00:12:13It was necessary, I assure you.
00:12:15The Gestapo was close on our heels.
00:12:17Oh, really?
00:12:18This is Sherlock Holmes.
00:12:20I want to speak to Sir Reginald Bailey, please.
00:12:22Reginald Bailey?
00:12:23Is that the fellow who played Raga for Blackheath?
00:12:25Yes, Watson.
00:12:26Oh.
00:12:27Hello, Sir Reginald.
00:12:28Holmes speaking.
00:12:30Yes, from Baker Street.
00:12:31I have Dr. Tobel with me.
00:12:34Oh, thank you.
00:12:36Very well then, I'll meet you in half an hour.
00:12:39There must be no delay.
00:12:40I'll arrange with Sir Reginald to have the test tomorrow morning.
00:12:43I suggest that only cabinet ministers
00:12:45and your best aviation experts be present.
00:12:47Naturally.
00:12:48Watson, I leave Dr. Tobel in your care.
00:12:50Give him a sedative.
00:12:51This has been a strenuous business,
00:12:52and he has a long day ahead of him again tomorrow.
00:12:54Certainly, Holmes, of course.
00:12:55He shall sleep in my bedroom.
00:12:56I'll keep watch till you return.
00:12:59It is not necessary to guard me.
00:13:00I am quite safe now.
00:13:02Safe, Dr. Tobel?
00:13:04I shouldn't count on it for a second.
00:13:06But, Mr. Holmes...
00:13:07A great deal may depend on your safety.
00:13:09And the enemy understands that just as well as we do.
00:13:11Good night.
00:13:17Keep a light, Watson.
00:13:18Of course.
00:13:20A couple of these,
00:13:21and you'll sleep peacefully through a blitz.
00:13:24You better start undressing at once,
00:13:25or you'll find yourself fast asleep
00:13:27in the middle of taking off your trousers.
00:13:29Well, I'll sit over here and keep an eye on things.
00:13:32Oh, by the way,
00:13:33if you're nervous, call out.
00:13:36Good night, Doctor.
00:13:37Good night, Doctor.
00:13:38That's all funny.
00:13:39Both doing the same thing at the same time.
00:13:41Good night, Doctor.
00:13:42Good night, Doctor.
00:13:43Good night, Doctor.
00:13:44I'm ok.
00:13:45I'm good at the same time.
00:13:46And I'll stop you.
00:13:47You're welcome.
00:13:48You are welcome.
00:13:49I will take a look.
00:13:50I'll take a look.
00:13:52I will take a look.
00:13:53Is there a place that is the right place?
00:13:54No, sir?
00:13:55I will take a look.
00:13:56I will take a look.
00:13:57I'll take a look.
00:13:58I'll take a look.
00:14:29Hello?
00:14:32Yes, I just arrived about an hour ago.
00:14:35It is most important that I see you at once.
00:14:38No, no.
00:14:39I cannot explain.
00:14:43It is now five minutes past midnight.
00:14:46I leave at once.
00:14:48Goodbye.
00:14:59Holmes, I don't have to tell you how much this means to us.
00:15:07We shall know a great deal more about the bombsite after the demonstration, Sir Reginald.
00:15:11The war office have a pretty good idea of the value of the Tobel bombsite, just as the Nazis have.
00:15:18However, oh, if you'd care to place Dr. Tobel under the protection of Scotland Yard until tomorrow...
00:15:25No, no, Morrow. No, that won't be necessary.
00:15:27I shall personally deliver Dr. Tobel to your representatives on Salisbury Plain in plenty of time for the demonstration.
00:15:34Good night, Sir Reginald.
00:15:35Good night, Mr. Holmes.
00:15:36Good night, Mr. Holmes.
00:16:06Charlotte Averly, flat B.
00:16:18Right.
00:16:19Get the car ready.
00:16:21I'll wait here until he comes out.
00:16:36Is that what the Americans call doodling?
00:16:47It is more serious than you could possibly realize, Charlotte.
00:16:55Good.
00:17:00More coffee?
00:17:01No, thank you, darling.
00:17:04I must get back before they miss me.
00:17:07We've been separated for so long.
00:17:09I couldn't bear it if anything should part us again.
00:17:11I want to work with you, and I want to know every minute where you are.
00:17:16Even for you to know the details of my mission in London is to sign your death warrant.
00:17:22If you are in real danger, I want to share it.
00:17:24There is one thing you can do.
00:17:31Godless envelope.
00:17:33If anything happens to me, see that it reaches the hands of Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:17:37Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:17:39Yes.
00:17:40I pray I never have to deliver it.
00:17:41No.
00:17:42Yes.
00:18:03Help!
00:18:04Help!
00:18:05Beep!
00:18:06Beep!
00:18:08Beep!
00:18:09Beep!
00:18:10Beep!
00:18:11He got away.
00:18:22Are you all right, sir?
00:18:23I think so.
00:18:26It must have been a robber.
00:18:28Since the blackout, those bodies have become quite a nuisance.
00:18:31I say, you better come with me and have that fixed up.
00:18:35Just lean on my arm, that's it.
00:18:41I'll make it.
00:18:56Watson!
00:18:58Watson, wake up!
00:18:59Where's Tobel?
00:19:00He isn't there.
00:19:02No, he isn't. He's gone.
00:19:03That's impossible. He's asleep in my bed.
00:19:05I've been here all time.
00:19:06If anything's happened to him...
00:19:10Tobel!
00:19:11All right?
00:19:12Ah, it is nothing.
00:19:13Here, sit down here.
00:19:14Let's have a look.
00:19:21Oh, it doesn't look too bad.
00:19:22Who patched you up?
00:19:23The police doctor?
00:19:24Yes.
00:19:25He looks as if you'd been attacked.
00:19:26Obviously, my dear Watson.
00:19:28Dr. Tobel, do you suspect the woman of arranging the trap?
00:19:32Woman?
00:19:33What woman?
00:19:34She's blonde, five foot six, full-lipped and very affectionate.
00:19:36Oh, really?
00:19:37You've known her for a long time.
00:19:38You were attacked after leaving her apartment.
00:19:40Holmes, how do you know this?
00:19:42The face powder on your coat tells me of her height and her affection for you.
00:19:45You, uh, held her close before departing.
00:19:48Still there, Holmes?
00:19:49It's all there for the trained eye to read, Watson.
00:19:51But look here.
00:19:52Why couldn't he have been attacked on his way to the woman's apartment?
00:19:54The mark of a blow has erased some of the powder.
00:19:57Obviously, if the attack came first, the powder would have remained undisturbed.
00:20:01And the forelips?
00:20:02That was a guess.
00:20:03I never guess, Watson.
00:20:05You have rubbed the lipstick from your face.
00:20:08With a handkerchief you now hold in your hand.
00:20:10And that amount of lipstick never came from a pair of thin lips.
00:20:13And the blonde hair?
00:20:15Good gracious me.
00:20:19Mr. Holmes, I am glad you are on my side.
00:20:21Well, in that case you will desist from disobeying my orders and slipping out.
00:20:25While your bodyguard sleeps his watch away.
00:20:29It won't happen again, Holmes.
00:20:31I was sitting in front of the fire, Mr. Dozen.
00:20:32All right, Watson.
00:20:33All right.
00:20:34I'm sorry.
00:20:35Now, can you describe your assailant?
00:20:38I never saw him.
00:20:40A great figure came at me in the dark.
00:20:42I felt a stunning blow on my head and instantly fingers were at my throat.
00:20:47But you must have noticed something about him.
00:20:48Think, man.
00:20:49A thing of little consequence to you may mean a great deal to me.
00:20:52Wait.
00:20:53Wait a moment.
00:20:54There was one thing.
00:20:56Long fingers at my throat like, like steel.
00:21:00And then, then an odor.
00:21:03A heavy drug-like odor.
00:21:05A drug?
00:21:06Opium?
00:21:07That is it.
00:21:08I am sure of it now.
00:21:09Well, I suggest we get the remains of a good night's sleep.
00:21:13Remember, the test takes place tomorrow morning on Salisbury Plain.
00:21:22The principle of Dr. Tobel's device involves the use of three sonic beams.
00:21:29Is that right, sir?
00:21:30That appears to be it.
00:21:39There he is.
00:21:52We are on the course now, sir.
00:21:53We are on the course now, sir.
00:22:22Well, gentlemen.
00:22:23That load would sink any ship in the world.
00:22:26We must consider the possibility of good piloting and a lucky hit.
00:22:30I'd like to see another try of it.
00:22:32So would I.
00:22:34They want you to try again, sir.
00:22:41He is coming into position now, sir.
00:22:47We are on the course now, sir.
00:22:52Well, gentlemen, how do you like the bombsight now?
00:23:14Marvelous.
00:23:15We will revolutionize the aerial bombardment.
00:23:20Inspector Lestrade.
00:23:21I hope Scotland Yard is taking every precaution to guard Dr. Tobel and his equipment.
00:23:26Two plainclothes men ride with him in his car, sir.
00:23:28And four others following another one, sir.
00:23:30Good.
00:23:31He's coming to my office in Whitehall as soon as he lands.
00:23:33Shall we start, gentlemen?
00:23:34Yes.
00:23:51Well, here he is, gentlemen.
00:23:52Congratulations.
00:23:53Congratulations, sir.
00:23:54It was excellent.
00:23:55It was magnificent, Dr. Tobel.
00:23:56Magnificent.
00:23:57I am glad we had such ideal conditions for the test.
00:23:59I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.
00:24:01We've been through a lot, Holmes.
00:24:02But thank goodness he's safe now.
00:24:03You brought your apparatus with you?
00:24:04No, sir.
00:24:05No, sir.
00:24:06No, sir.
00:24:07No, sir.
00:24:08No, sir.
00:24:09No, sir.
00:24:10No, sir.
00:24:11No, sir.
00:24:12No, sir.
00:24:13No, sir.
00:24:14No, sir.
00:24:15No, sir.
00:24:16No, sir.
00:24:17No, sir.
00:24:18No, sir.
00:24:19No, sir.
00:24:20No, sir.
00:24:21No, sir.
00:24:22No, sir.
00:24:23No.
00:24:24I did not.
00:24:25But why not?
00:24:26It must be lodged in the most impregnable vault in this building until we're ready to
00:24:29start manufacture.
00:24:30I have arranged for a little office of my own.
00:24:33I intend to supervise the manufacture myself.
00:24:36But you...
00:24:37You offered it to our government for our use.
00:24:40Everything Mr. Holmes has done has been with that idea in view.
00:24:43I still offer it to your government.
00:24:45But no one else will know the secrets involved.
00:24:49I have devised a plan to guard my invention.
00:24:52A plan as intricate as the bomb site itself.
00:24:55If you imagine for one moment...
00:24:57Please.
00:24:58I will not change my mind, sir Reginald.
00:25:01I am taking the matter into my own hands.
00:25:03Just what do you propose to do, Dr. Tobell?
00:25:04I am sorry.
00:25:05I cannot reveal the details of my plan for the present.
00:25:06Do you think that's wise?
00:25:07I regret, gentlemen.
00:25:08I cannot change my decision.
00:25:09I shall work independently.
00:25:10Can't you persuade him, Holmes?
00:25:12But supposing something should happen to you, Dr. Tobell?
00:25:14You know, there's already been one attempt on your life.
00:25:16Well, if Holmes' suspicions are right.
00:25:17But what, Watson?
00:25:18There is no use of the evidence to do.
00:25:19I have to do it.
00:25:20I have to do it.
00:25:21I have to do it.
00:25:22I have to do it.
00:25:23I have to do it.
00:25:24I have to do it.
00:25:25I have to do it.
00:25:26I have to do it.
00:25:27I have to do it.
00:25:28I have to do it.
00:25:29I have to do it.
00:25:30I have to do it.
00:25:31I have to do it.
00:25:32I have to do it.
00:25:33Well, if Holmes' suspicions are right.
00:25:34Quite, Watson.
00:25:35There is no use discussing it, gentlemen.
00:25:38My mind is made up.
00:25:40Scotland Yard will redouble the guard about you, Doctor.
00:25:43In fact, we'll quadruple it.
00:25:45That is just what I do not wish done, Inspector.
00:25:47Hmm?
00:25:48That would only draw attention to my activities.
00:25:50Hmm.
00:25:51Good day, gentlemen.
00:26:00Just the same.
00:26:01I have my men watching him every moment from now on.
00:26:03No, no.
00:26:04Wait, Lestrade.
00:26:05We must not offend Dr. Tobel.
00:26:07We must remember that he, as a citizen of Switzerland,
00:26:09is under no obligation to give us his invention.
00:26:12We must do as he asks.
00:26:14Don't you agree, Holmes?
00:26:15Be sure, Sir Reginald.
00:26:16I am not officially connected with the government,
00:26:18and I intend to remain on the case.
00:26:19Good.
00:26:20Good.
00:26:21That is, if Inspector Lestrade doesn't mind.
00:26:22Glory to all, Mr. Holmes.
00:26:23We are always glad to have you hanging around.
00:26:29You can put those away now, Lestrade.
00:26:30I am entrusting this to you because, first of all, you are a Swiss.
00:26:42And second, there is no doubt in my mind of your ability.
00:26:45I am honored, Dr. Tobel.
00:26:47I have divided the mechanism of my invention into four units.
00:26:50Each is meaningless without the others.
00:26:52You have delivered the other three?
00:26:53Yes.
00:26:54No one but myself knows the identity of the four scientists working on the four units.
00:26:59Their names are not even known to each other.
00:27:01I think I understand.
00:27:03From what you tell me, it will be easy to reproduce the unit assigned to me in any quantity you wish.
00:27:09I knew I could rely on you.
00:27:11I will get in touch with you as soon as I have made the rest of my arrangements.
00:27:14No, no.
00:27:15The back door, if you please, Professor Hoffman.
00:27:17Au revoir.
00:27:18Au revoir.
00:27:19Au revoir.
00:27:20Hello?
00:27:21Yes, Lestrade.
00:27:22Oh.
00:27:23Very well.
00:27:24What is it, Holmes?
00:27:25Just as I feared.
00:27:26Lestrade's men report that Tobel is missing.
00:27:28Missing?
00:27:56Yes, I was afraid of this.
00:27:57How long has he been missing?
00:27:58Practically since he walked out of your office yesterday.
00:27:59If you'd only give me the address of this place, I shouldn't have had to waste so much
00:28:00time finding it.
00:28:01Empty.
00:28:02The bomb site's gone.
00:28:03I didn't expect to find it here, Sir Reginald.
00:28:04This is a pretty mess.
00:28:05If you knew this was going to happen, why the devil didn't you do something about it?
00:28:06You can rely on Holmes implicitly, Sir Reginald.
00:28:07So Bell's gone, and heaven alone knows where.
00:28:09Well, it serves me right for listening to that crack-brained idea of this.
00:28:10You can rely on Holmes implicitly, Sir Reginald.
00:28:11So Bell's gone, and heaven alone knows where.
00:28:12Well, it serves me right for listening to that crack-brained idea of this.
00:28:14He dismissed Lestrade's men, and they went, leaving him here alone and unguarded.
00:28:18Holmes, if anything has happened to To Bell, if his invention falls into the hands of Germany,
00:28:21it will be a major disaster for England.
00:28:23Christmas wrapping.
00:28:24He did his Christmas shopping in plenty of time.
00:28:25Yes, curious.
00:28:26Oh, I'm sorry.
00:28:27I'm sorry.
00:28:28I'm sorry.
00:28:29I'm sorry.
00:28:30I'm sorry.
00:28:31I'm sorry.
00:28:32I'm sorry.
00:28:33I'm sorry.
00:28:34I'm sorry.
00:28:35I'm sorry.
00:28:36I'm sorry.
00:28:37I'm sorry.
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm sorry.
00:28:40I'm sorry.
00:28:41I'm sorry.
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:43Curious.
00:28:44Do you...
00:28:45Do you notice something, Holmes?
00:28:47Scent.
00:28:48Perfume.
00:28:49Yes.
00:28:50I noticed it the moment we entered the room.
00:28:52Clair de Lune.
00:28:54One of the rarer essences, and very expensive.
00:28:56That woman again.
00:28:57Undoubtedly.
00:29:06Give me Inspector Lestrade.
00:29:07Sherlock Holmes calling.
00:29:09So Holmes is finally stumped.
00:29:11First time I've heard him call for help.
00:29:13Call for help, indeed.
00:29:14He's only just beginning his investigation.
00:29:16Lestrade.
00:29:17This is Holmes.
00:29:18Check the records and trace a call made on my private telephone at Baker Street at approximately
00:29:2312 o'clock on the night of Dr. Tobel's arrival in London.
00:29:26Finally stumped, eh, Sir Reginald?
00:29:28Yes, Lestrade.
00:29:29Wait a minute.
00:29:30Charlotte.
00:29:31Eberley.
00:29:3234.
00:29:33St. George's Street.
00:29:34Flat B.
00:29:35Excellent, Lestrade.
00:29:37Where is Dr. Tobel?
00:29:39I can't tell you.
00:29:40You mean you won't tell me?
00:29:41I don't know.
00:29:42How many Christmas packages did you take to him, Miss Eberley?
00:29:43Five.
00:29:44He dismantled his bomb site and packed the units in four of the boxes.
00:29:47Is that correct?
00:29:48Pardon me.
00:29:49Hello.
00:29:50Yes.
00:29:51This is Miss Eberley.
00:29:52Why, why, someone is here.
00:29:53Why, someone is here.
00:29:54I can't tell you.
00:29:55I can't tell you.
00:29:56You mean you won't tell me?
00:29:57I don't know.
00:29:58How many Christmas packages did you take to him, Miss Eberley?
00:30:00Five.
00:30:01He dismantled his bomb site and packed the units in four of the boxes.
00:30:05Is that correct?
00:30:06Pardon me.
00:30:09Hello.
00:30:10Yes.
00:30:11This is Miss Eberley.
00:30:14Why, why, someone is here.
00:30:17Why, someone must have stolen it.
00:30:21On Richmond bypass.
00:30:23Yes.
00:30:24Yes.
00:30:25I'll arrange to have it removed.
00:30:26Yes.
00:30:27At once.
00:30:34Now I can be frank with you, Mr. Holmes.
00:30:36Dr. Tobel has disappeared.
00:30:38They found my car on Richmond bypass, wrecked.
00:30:41I loaned it to him last night.
00:30:43For what purpose, Miss Eberley?
00:30:45He wouldn't tell me.
00:30:46But he said that if anything should happen to him, I was to give you this.
00:30:51Holmes.
00:30:52Then he must have expected something.
00:30:54Yes.
00:30:55His envelope has been opened and resealed.
00:30:58Oh, but that isn't possible.
00:30:59It hasn't been out of my hands.
00:31:01We meet again, Mr. Holmes.
00:31:02What?
00:31:03Why, that's not the message.
00:31:04It isn't even the same paper.
00:31:05I saw Dr. Tobel draw little sets of figures.
00:31:06What kind of figures?
00:31:07Well, they, they looked like little dancing men.
00:31:08Dancing men?
00:31:09That's curious.
00:31:10Who's been in this apartment since Dr. Tobel entrusted that envelope to your care?
00:31:14Well, no one.
00:31:15I've had no visitors.
00:31:16Think, possibly a tradesman.
00:31:17No.
00:31:18Only the one for a few minutes.
00:31:19And that one?
00:31:20A workman.
00:31:21He came to fix my light switch.
00:31:22He couldn't see me.
00:31:23I was a doctor.
00:31:24He's a doctor.
00:31:25I was a doctor.
00:31:26I was a doctor.
00:31:27I was a doctor.
00:31:28I was a doctor.
00:31:29I was a doctor.
00:31:30I was a doctor.
00:31:31I was a doctor.
00:31:32I was a doctor.
00:31:33I was a doctor.
00:31:34I was a doctor.
00:31:35I was a doctor.
00:31:36No.
00:31:37Only the one for a few minutes.
00:31:39And that one?
00:31:40A workman.
00:31:41He came to fix my light switch.
00:31:43He couldn't have possibly.
00:31:44Did you send for him?
00:31:46Why, no.
00:31:47My lights went out and soon afterwards he knocked at my door and told me the porter had sent him up.
00:31:52That's where he worked.
00:31:56But he wasn't alone in this room more than five minutes.
00:31:59And he did fix the lights.
00:32:00They went on again.
00:32:01The switch hasn't been touched.
00:32:03The paint still covers the screw heads.
00:32:06He simply threw the main switch in the basement.
00:32:09Pretended to work on this one.
00:32:10And after a few moments, an accomplice threw the main switch back on.
00:32:13But in those few minutes...
00:32:14Did you get a look at his face?
00:32:16No.
00:32:17Only a glance.
00:32:18Now I realize he kept his face averted.
00:32:20But he was a large man.
00:32:21Yes, he was large.
00:32:22His eyes, heavy lidded.
00:32:23A thin film over the pupils.
00:32:24Then Holmes, you...
00:32:25If I remember now.
00:32:26His eyes.
00:32:27They were like a snake's.
00:32:28Miss Abelie.
00:32:29Dr. Tobel is being held by one of the most brilliant men in the world.
00:32:32One of the most brilliant men in the history of crime.
00:32:34Come along, Watson.
00:32:35There isn't a moment to lose.
00:32:36Goodbye, Miss Abelie.
00:32:39Oh.
00:32:40Goodbye, Miss Abelie.
00:32:42I don't see why I'm not allowed to go with you.
00:32:44You have your own mission, Watson.
00:32:46Yes.
00:32:47Take a sealed note to Inspector Lestrade.
00:32:48While you search Soho...
00:32:49I shall not be searching for him.
00:32:51I shall permit him to find me in the character of a murderous Lasker once in his employ.
00:32:56And whom I may add is still in jail.
00:32:58Yes, but after all these years...
00:33:00Make no mistake, Watson.
00:33:02This is not a duel of intellects.
00:33:04With a cruel but single-minded Gestapo killer.
00:33:07This is our greatest problem.
00:33:10With England as the stake.
00:33:12And our antagonist, Professor Moriarty.
00:33:16We've got to meet him.
00:33:17Hmm.
00:33:18Once he's behind bars, I think I shall entitle my memoirs of these adventures...
00:33:24The End of Moriarty.
00:33:26An excellent title, Watson.
00:33:28But, um...
00:33:31We must arrange that it isn't Moriarty who's left to write the memoirs.
00:33:36Huh?
00:33:47As soon as it's here.
00:33:53Three...
00:33:54Yeah
00:33:55Sorry.
00:33:56All, oh, she up she rises!
00:33:56The End of Moriarty.
00:33:59I, oh, up she rises early.
00:33:59It's here, that's my fourth girl.
00:34:01Oh you are, it's here.
00:34:02Really?
00:34:03We must endure them!
00:34:05Her baby heals the end every day!
00:34:07Goろ, we must!
00:34:08Hey.
00:34:09Hey, hey, hey.
00:34:10She rises!
00:34:11The End of Moriarty.
00:34:14She rises early in the morning.
00:34:16Oi, oi, up she rises.
00:34:18Oi, oi, up she rises.
00:34:44Oi, oi, up she rises.
00:35:14Ram Singh. Ram Singh.
00:35:19Who know Ram Singh?
00:35:21I do.
00:35:23You're a bloomin' wharf rat.
00:35:25Been in jail, ain't you?
00:35:27How you know?
00:35:28I heard from the blighter what left you to swing instead of him.
00:35:35You know who I mean, matey.
00:35:37I know.
00:35:38I'll have to kill him.
00:35:40Would it be worth ten pounds, will you?
00:35:43Do you know where he live?
00:35:44For ten pounds, I know.
00:35:46I've only got two.
00:35:48Goodbye, matey.
00:35:51Five.
00:35:53Ten pounds or nothing, you lying even.
00:35:55You dirty demon.
00:35:57Well, that ain't so much to ask for what you want to know.
00:36:02You'll make good bargain.
00:36:03That does it.
00:36:12Well?
00:36:15You remember Angel's Court?
00:36:18Huh?
00:36:18Then follow your nose through the alley
00:36:20till you come to Jack Brady's carpenter shop.
00:36:24He can tell you where the blighter is at this very moment.
00:36:28You'll come too.
00:36:29Me?
00:36:31If you lie.
00:36:33All right, mister.
00:36:33I'll come along with you.
00:36:35Easy, matey.
00:36:36Easy.
00:36:38Follow me.
00:36:42Please, governor.
00:36:43I ain't had nothing to eat for two days.
00:36:45Stop.
00:36:45Go away.
00:36:46Who's there?
00:37:07Freaklet.
00:37:12Who's this bloke?
00:37:13He's a bloodthirsty Eden, but has good money to spend for information.
00:37:31What's he want to know?
00:37:32He'll give me five pounds to bring him to someone,
00:37:36what could tell him the whereabouts of you-know-who.
00:37:40You're not telling me I cut two-throat?
00:37:43Cost you another fiver.
00:37:46Five pound more, eh?
00:37:48You pay him.
00:37:50Me?
00:37:51Come on, you.
00:37:55Come on, pay him.
00:37:57All right.
00:38:06I'll tell you all right, I will. The truth and that's a fact.
00:38:09The plight of St. Davy Jones' locker are feeding the fishes he is,
00:38:12deader than a blinking mackerel.
00:38:14Now, ain't that worth a fiver?
00:38:20I'll tell you he's alive.
00:38:22And I say he's been dead these many years.
00:38:27You lie!
00:38:28Easy there, Jack Brady.
00:38:31I would say you were wrong and Mr. Sherlock Holmes was correct.
00:38:35Good evening, Professor Moriarty.
00:38:38Welcome, Holmes.
00:38:39My men have instructions to bring anybody here who inquires for me.
00:38:43They haggle while I watch.
00:38:45An admirable disguise, by the way.
00:38:47It fooled them completely.
00:38:49Of course it didn't fool me.
00:38:50I never intended that it should.
00:38:52I meant only that it should bring us face to face.
00:38:57Just like old times, eh?
00:38:59A battle of wits, of superior intellects.
00:39:02I may say I've been expecting you since I made off of your precious Dr. Tobel.
00:39:07And his code.
00:39:08Ah, yes.
00:39:09And his code.
00:39:10Ah, yes.
00:39:11And his code.
00:39:13But valuable is your doctor and his code out of my business.
00:39:17I think my main interest in this affair
00:39:20is the chance he gives me to battle with you again.
00:39:28Moriarty.
00:39:31This is no simple crime that you contemplate.
00:39:33It's a staggering blow against your own country.
00:39:36That doesn't concern me overly.
00:39:39I shall make greater profit from this affair
00:39:41than all my other adventures put together.
00:39:44Then you refuse.
00:39:45Oh, most assuredly.
00:39:48In fact, I intend to ensure the success of this venture tonight
00:39:52by liquidating you, Mr. Holmes.
00:39:55I think that is the American phrase.
00:39:57Quite.
00:39:58You the one man intelligent enough to stand in my way.
00:40:03A gun.
00:40:04Oh, come now.
00:40:07This is not the Professor Moriarty, the master criminal I once knew.
00:40:11A dock rat could do as much.
00:40:13Did you think I was going to shoot you, Mr. Holmes?
00:40:15Oh, dear me, no.
00:40:18This is simply to prevent a troublesome scene.
00:40:20I expected you and made full arrangements.
00:40:27You see, my good Mr. Holmes, these shelves lift out.
00:40:32And you will rest somewhat uncomfortably
00:40:35in the false bottom of his sea chest.
00:40:38My sailor friend, Jack Brady, goes to sea immediately.
00:40:42Once out of sight of land, he pushes the chest overboard.
00:40:47Time up.
00:40:52Perhaps your good friend, Dr. Watson,
00:40:54can entitle this adventure
00:40:57The End of Sherlock Holmes.
00:40:59He will be disappointed.
00:41:01He intended to call it
00:41:03The End of Professor Moriarty.
00:41:05Hurry.
00:41:06You must.
00:41:28Brilliant man, Sherlock Holmes.
00:41:30Too bad he was honest.
00:41:36The one-legged man,
00:41:38he takes Mr. Holmes right to that carpenter shop.
00:41:41He knocks on the door,
00:41:43a man comes out and in they go.
00:41:45Thank you, George.
00:41:46We'll take over the watch.
00:41:48Good night, Dr. Watson.
00:41:50Good night.
00:41:54What does Mr. Holmes hope to accomplish
00:41:56for this masquerade?
00:41:57He hopes to frighten Moriarty
00:41:59into rushing Tobel into another hiding place.
00:42:01Moriarty's dead, I tell you.
00:42:03Look out.
00:42:05Over here, quick.
00:42:23Hey, just a minute.
00:42:24Who's that?
00:42:26What have you got there?
00:42:27Who's asking?
00:42:28Scotland Yard?
00:42:29Scotland.
00:42:30Half a mile, Governor.
00:42:31I'll show you me papers.
00:42:33That's it.
00:42:34There you are.
00:42:37Yep.
00:42:39There you are.
00:42:41There you are, Governor.
00:42:43I'm Jack Brady, ship's carpenter.
00:42:45Shipping out tonight in the convoy.
00:42:46Destination unknown.
00:42:48Me palier's helping me get me chest aboard.
00:42:50Make them open at the start.
00:42:51Yes, go on.
00:42:53All right, Governor.
00:42:56See for yourself.
00:43:00No, there's nothing here, Doctor.
00:43:01Just a couple of simple seafaring men.
00:43:03All right, get on with it.
00:43:04Thank you, Governor.
00:43:10Come on out.
00:43:11Easy does it, right?
00:43:12Good night, the launchers.
00:43:14Told you it was a lot of nonsense.
00:43:15I don't understand.
00:43:16That thing was way a ton.
00:43:17Look at those men staggering.
00:43:18You fit on something, Doctor.
00:43:19A few tools wouldn't take that much energy.
00:43:20If you've just looked inside.
00:43:21On the top only, there might be a false bottle.
00:43:22Hey, you!
00:43:23You stop there!
00:43:24Stop or I'll shoot!
00:43:25Great Scott Holmes!
00:43:29Well, I'll be blown.
00:43:30On the top only, there might be a false bottle.
00:43:32Hey, you! You stop there!
00:43:34Stop or I'll shoot!
00:43:52Quick, Scott Holmes!
00:43:53Well, I'll be blown.
00:43:56You're not hurt?
00:43:57No.
00:44:00Well, you needn't have yelled at them so abruptly.
00:44:02Huh?
00:44:03They dropped me on my head.
00:44:04Oh.
00:44:05Moriarty would have been delighted.
00:44:06So Professor Moriarty is alive?
00:44:09Alive and in possession of Dr. Tobel's code.
00:44:11No good going back. We've all gone.
00:44:12Then what are you going to do?
00:44:13Well, first I'm going to wash this filthy stuff off my face.
00:44:16Then I'm going to see Miss Eberle again.
00:44:18I've got to find some clue to the content of Dr. Tobel's message.
00:44:21Come along, quick.
00:44:22I only got one glimpse of the note while he was preparing it.
00:44:27He was seated at this desk.
00:44:29No, he was sitting on the couch when he wrote the message.
00:44:32But he sealed the anvil up here.
00:44:33The message was written in ink with this pen?
00:44:35No, he used a pencil. This one.
00:44:41Use this writing pad?
00:44:42Yes.
00:44:43Has it been used since?
00:44:44No.
00:44:46They should be here.
00:44:48They must be here.
00:44:49What, Mr. Holmes?
00:44:50The letter in this pencil is hard.
00:44:52Hard enough to make an impression on the coarse fibers of which this paper is made.
00:44:57The impressions at the moment are invisible.
00:45:02If we immerse this sheet in a solution of fluorescent salts, dry it, and then photograph it by ultraviolet light,
00:45:13the fibers broken by the writing will absorb less of the solution than other parts of the paper.
00:45:18Yes, sir.
00:45:21Switch off the lights, Watson.
00:45:27We place the slide in the projector and turn on the light.
00:45:34The broken fibers appear darker than the rest of the paper and are therefore visible.
00:45:39Splendid, Holmes.
00:45:41Now I recognize that code.
00:45:43Do you remember a case we had some years ago?
00:45:45It's probably the same.
00:45:46Alphabet substitution code.
00:45:47Yes, Watson.
00:45:49I believe Dr. Tobel meant to communicate with us by that means.
00:45:52Substitution of the alphabet?
00:45:54I don't understand.
00:45:55My dear, one of the oldest codes in use is based on the repetition of figures.
00:45:59E is the letter most used in the British language.
00:46:02Therefore, the figure most used probably in this message is E.
00:46:06T, A, O, I, and N follow in that order of frequency.
00:46:12You mean you can read these figures as if they were letters of the alphabet?
00:46:15Elementary, my dear Miss Sabler.
00:46:17Give me one minute and you shall have the message.
00:46:24And what is the message, Watson?
00:46:26This fellow Tobel must have been pulling our legs.
00:46:29It's a lot of gibberish.
00:46:31I, Y, Z, L, M, T, H, K.
00:46:33It reads like an eye doctor's chart.
00:46:36Dr. Tobel is a brilliant scientist.
00:46:37I saw immediately that he wouldn't send us a message so simple to decipher.
00:46:41Neither would he affix these top figures without a meaning.
00:46:44Then it isn't the alphabet substitution code.
00:46:46Yes, it is, Watson.
00:46:47But with a very clever variation.
00:46:49You see, the one, two, three figures means that we skip letters in that order.
00:46:54In other words, observe, Watson.
00:46:55The first letter, which is I, skips one and becomes J.
00:47:01The second letter, Y, skips two and becomes A.
00:47:05And the third skips three and becomes C.
00:47:07J, A, C.
00:47:08J, A, C, O, B, D, U, R, R, E, R.
00:47:16Jacob Durer, a Swiss scientist and friend of Dr. Tobel's.
00:47:20P, A, L, A, C, E, C, R, E, S.
00:47:28Yes.
00:47:29Paris Crescent.
00:47:30Right.
00:47:31I said, Holmes, this man Durer must be important.
00:47:33Obviously, Watson.
00:47:35He must have some connection with the bomb site
00:47:37or Tobel wouldn't have taken so much trouble to see that I got his name.
00:47:40Take down the rest of the message.
00:47:42J, O, S, E, P, H, Joseph.
00:47:48E, M, D, D, I, A, C.
00:47:53Number four doesn't make any sense.
00:47:54He must have used some other variations.
00:47:58Four names and addresses.
00:48:03Jacob Durer, Professor Farrell, Dr. Kern.
00:48:06And this fourth infernal cipher which doesn't fit the code.
00:48:13Christmas boxes.
00:48:16Watson, I'm beginning to see the plan.
00:48:20Dr. Tobel divided his bomb site into four parts
00:48:24just as we brought it back from Switzerland.
00:48:26He's given one section of the mechanism to each of these famous scientists.
00:48:32What a fascinating plan.
00:48:34You see, each part is useless without the other three.
00:48:38And undoubtedly, none of these scientists is known to each other.
00:48:41Professor Moriarty also has the code.
00:48:44And we must allow for his ability to decipher it.
00:48:50We haven't time to break the fourth code now.
00:48:52We must get to the first three men before Moriarty does.
00:48:53Palace Crescent first.
00:48:54Right.
00:48:55I'll go and get a taxi.
00:48:56Miss Everly.
00:48:57Will you please wait here till we return?
00:49:09Here, where are you going, sir?
00:49:10Jacob Durer live here?
00:49:11Yes, but there's been a bit of trouble, sir.
00:49:12You can't go in.
00:49:13Inspector Lestrade's orders.
00:49:14Oh.
00:49:15Here, just a minute, sir.
00:49:16That's Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:49:17Oh, very sorry, sir.
00:49:27Dead?
00:49:28Dead as a doornail.
00:49:30Mr. Holmes?
00:49:31How did you know about this?
00:49:32The odd only heard 15 minutes ago.
00:49:34We'd better hurry, Holmes.
00:49:35There's still time to save Farrell and Kern.
00:49:37Too late, Watson.
00:49:38Now this time, Farrell and Kern are dead too.
00:49:39What?
00:49:40Deductions again, Mr. Holmes?
00:49:42Facts, Inspector.
00:49:43Oh, facts.
00:49:47But how do you know about them?
00:49:50Elementary, my dear Watson.
00:49:51This man has been dead for at least two hours.
00:49:53Moriarty isn't wasting any time.
00:49:55Hello?
00:49:56This is Lestrade.
00:49:57Put me on the mackety.
00:50:01The mackety?
00:50:02Oh, this is Lestrade.
00:50:04Do you know anything about two men named, uh, Farrell and Kern?
00:50:08Farrell and Kern?
00:50:10What, both of them?
00:50:15Oh.
00:50:17Report only came in two seconds before I telephoned.
00:50:22What on earth are we going to do, Holmes?
00:50:23Moriarty's got a big start and he's got the code.
00:50:24Note this, Watson.
00:50:25Scotland Yard reports two murders.
00:50:26That makes three in all.
00:50:27But there were four boxes and four codes.
00:50:28Obviously, Moriarty hasn't broken the fourth code either.
00:50:30What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:31I can't remember.
00:50:32What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:33I have forgotten.
00:50:34What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:35I have forgotten.
00:50:36What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:37I don't know.
00:50:38What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:50What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:51I can't remember.
00:50:53What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:55I have forgotten.
00:50:57What is the name of the fourth man?
00:50:59I don't know.
00:51:00I don't know!
00:51:02What is the name of the fourth man?
00:51:04I can't remember!
00:51:06What is the name of the fourth man?
00:51:10Holmes, don't you realize what this means to England?
00:51:13We not only lose the Tobel bomb site ourselves, but Germany gets it.
00:51:17Coventry, Bath, Plymouth, London.
00:51:19Not to mention Norrie, Janelle.
00:51:21All over again, but with ten times the effect.
00:51:25Don't you suppose I realize that, Sir Reginald?
00:51:29Don't you suppose I'd give my life to decode the last name of that message?
00:51:32There must be some solution.
00:51:34Naturally, Watson.
00:51:36You need to be rude.
00:51:37I need a drink.
00:51:38I'm all in.
00:51:39I can't think anymore.
00:51:40All these letters and figures whirling through my brain.
00:51:43It's all twisted round.
00:51:49Twisted round.
00:51:50Huh?
00:51:51That's it?
00:51:52That's what?
00:51:53Twisted around, you said.
00:51:54So simple I never thought of it.
00:51:56Reverse the slide.
00:51:59You see, gentlemen?
00:52:02The first three names.
00:52:03These figures are now identical with the first three names.
00:52:05In other words, all the figures of name number four are written backwards and read from right
00:52:10to left until we reverse the slide when they read correctly from left to right.
00:52:16Now let's work on it.
00:52:17Pencil, Watson.
00:52:18But why would Dr. Tobell want to reverse the figures of number four?
00:52:25An added precaution, Lestrade, in case the cipher should fall into the wrong hands.
00:52:29Quite a compliment to you, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:32I mean, Tobell taking for granted that you would recognize the difference.
00:52:38F-R-E-D-E-R-I-C-K-H-O-F-F-M-E-R.
00:52:50Frederick Hockner.
00:52:51S-L-O-A-N-E-S-Q-U.
00:52:56Sloan Square.
00:52:57We'll just leave it once.
00:52:59Wait a minute.
00:53:00Information?
00:53:02Will you please give me the address of a Frederick Hockner in Sloan Square?
00:53:07I'll break this code.
00:53:12I'll find the name of that fourth man before Holmes does.
00:53:16There is not much more time.
00:53:18The submarine is to pick us up off Shearners in six hours.
00:53:21I've beaten Holmes so far.
00:53:23We'll meet your confounded submarine.
00:53:25Well, there is no more time.
00:53:27The submarine is to pick us up off Shearners in six hours.
00:53:29I'll be in the morning with the bomb site intact.
00:53:31But Tobell is unconscious again.
00:53:33As last resort, we could abandon the code and take Tobell to Germany.
00:53:37We'll try Tobell again in here.
00:53:44Wait.
00:53:46Spilling that glass of water was a very fortunate accident, my dear street brawler.
00:53:50Dr. Tobell's perversion of the cipher was so simple that it fooled us.
00:53:55I was looking for something ingenious.
00:53:57This is ingenious.
00:53:59This is ingenious.
00:54:00He simply reversed the cipher.
00:54:02The f-r-e-d-e-r-i-c-k-h-o-f-f-n-e-r-s-l-o-a-n-e.
00:54:07A-D-E-R-I-C-K-H-O-F-F-N-E-R-S-L-O-A-N-E.
00:54:26Frederick Hofner, Sloan Square.
00:54:30Of course!
00:54:32Hofner would be the perfect selection!
00:54:34Then you want us to attend to Hofner?
00:54:37No, we can use Hofner. He's a brilliant scientist.
00:54:40If Dr. Tobel doesn't recover from your persuasion,
00:54:43Hofner will be able to put the four parts together.
00:54:45You and Godfrey will call on Hofner,
00:54:47and you will bring him here with the fourth section of the bomb site. Hurry!
00:55:04Put up your hands, Professor Hofner.
00:55:34I'll take the box.
00:55:55I'll take the box.
00:55:57I'll take the box.
00:55:58I'll take the box.
00:56:20We'll meet again, Professor.
00:56:27Sherlock Holmes.
00:56:31An improvement on the other makeup?
00:56:34Don't you think so, Professor?
00:56:37So you think you've beaten me, Holmes?
00:56:40I have.
00:56:42The real Hofner is safely in the hands of Scotland Yard.
00:56:44But I still have Tobel.
00:56:46Now I shall sell Germany the inventor instead of the invention.
00:56:49You've learned nothing from him in spite of all your torture.
00:56:53Otherwise you wouldn't be trying so desperately
00:56:54to collect the four sections of the bomb site.
00:56:57A keen observation, my dear, Holmes.
00:56:59But observe further that you are now in my hands.
00:57:02And I have profited by my last mistake
00:57:05of allowing underlings to attend to you.
00:57:08Holmes took my place.
00:57:09And while the Nazis were inside with him,
00:57:11he instructed me to attach a small apparatus underneath their car.
00:57:14He's a brilliant fellow, Holmes.
00:57:15I helped him prepare the apparatus.
00:57:16Did you really, Doctor?
00:57:17That is, I poured in the luminous paint when you told me to.
00:57:19Very clever, Doctor Watson.
00:57:20The apparatus drips at regular intervals,
00:57:21leaving a trail of luminous paint.
00:57:23I see.
00:57:24Leading us to Moriarty and Mr. Holmes.
00:57:26Why are you so confident, Professor?
00:57:28Only a suggestion.
00:57:30But how do you do that?
00:57:31I'm not sure.
00:57:32I'm not sure.
00:57:33I'm not sure.
00:57:34I'm not sure.
00:57:35I'm not sure.
00:57:36I'm not sure.
00:57:37I'm not sure.
00:57:38I'm not sure.
00:57:39I'm not sure.
00:57:40I'm not sure.
00:57:41I'm not sure.
00:57:42I'm not sure.
00:57:44I'm not sure.
00:57:45But how do you know that Scotland Yard isn't waiting to break in at this very moment?
00:57:48I selected this address with special care.
00:57:51No one can find it.
00:57:52Not even Scotland Yard.
00:57:54Relax, Mr. Holmes.
00:57:57There's no escape.
00:58:02I might suddenly dash to the window.
00:58:04Break it open and shout to a passer-by.
00:58:06There are no passers-by.
00:58:07There are no passers-by.
00:58:08The glass in the window is unbreakable and the room is soundproof.
00:58:13This is my stronghold, Holmes.
00:58:15Equipped with all the modern conveniences of a successful man in my profession.
00:58:21Sit down.
00:58:22They've faded out again, sir.
00:58:40I don't understand, Lestrade.
00:58:42It stopped.
00:58:44And then it started.
00:58:46And now it stopped again.
00:58:47Maybe the apparatus broke down.
00:58:49Oh, a suggestion, gentlemen.
00:58:50Had a crossroad back there.
00:58:52A car might have gone over the spots of paint,
00:58:54picked some up on the tires,
00:58:56and left this false trail.
00:58:57That's just what I was about to suggest myself.
00:58:59Very well.
00:59:00We'll try it.
00:59:01Now, Holmes, what shall it be?
00:59:02The gas chamber, the cup of hemlock, or just a simple bullet through your brain?
00:59:21You disappointed me, Professor.
00:59:23Indeed?
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:25Somehow I always thought that in the end, you'd prove to be just an ordinary cutthroat.
00:59:35You know me better, Holmes.
00:59:37Gas, poison, bullets.
00:59:40I assure you, Professor, were our positions reversed,
00:59:44I should have something more colorful, more imaginative to offer.
00:59:49I'm satisfied to be the winner.
00:59:51I shall be alive.
00:59:52Alive, yes.
00:59:53The winner, no.
00:59:56For in the last analysis, I shall have proved the more resourceful man.
00:59:59You didn't trap me here.
01:00:01I came here because I wanted to,
01:00:03to prevent your getting Hoffner.
01:00:05And all you can do in return is to commit ordinary murder,
01:00:08to relieve your sense of frustration.
01:00:10And what, my good Mr. Holmes, could you have conceived
01:00:14that would have been so much more colorful?
01:00:17Well, even offhand.
01:00:18I can improve upon your suggestions considerably,
01:00:21but that's only natural, of course.
01:00:23And what is this brilliant idea of yours?
01:00:27Do you know that a man dies if he loses five pints of blood?
01:00:29Of course.
01:00:30Yes, of course you do.
01:00:32I should have you placed on an operating table.
01:00:34Inject a needle into your veins,
01:00:36and slowly draw off your life's blood.
01:00:40The needle to the last.
01:00:42Eh, Holmes?
01:00:43Slowly, drop by drop,
01:00:45the blood would be drawn from your body.
01:00:48You would be aware of every exquisite second to the very end.
01:00:52You would be watching yourself die scientifically,
01:00:54noting every reaction,
01:00:56and in full possession of your faculties.
01:01:00Interesting.
01:01:02Yes, isn't it?
01:01:04I humbly submit, Professor,
01:01:06that to the very end,
01:01:07I've been more resourceful than yourself.
01:01:12You've played it to my hands, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:01:16Time and again I've used this place as a haven for friends of mine,
01:01:19injured in altercations with Scotland Yard.
01:01:24I have a fully equipped hospital here.
01:01:34The trail goes this way, Inspector.
01:01:58Drop by drop, Holmes.
01:02:00Drop by drop.
01:02:04Ah, in a way I'm almost sorry.
01:02:08You were a stimulating influence to me.
01:02:12But it was obvious that I should win in the end.
01:02:19Only a matter of moments now.
01:02:21Take Tobel down to the boat.
01:02:22Start the engine.
01:02:34Closer to the end, Holmes.
01:02:37Closer and closer.
01:02:41Each second, a few more drops leave your desiccated body.
01:02:46And...
01:02:48You conceal them, can't you?
01:02:53You're perfectly conscious, aren't you, Holmes?
01:02:56I shall be conscious long after you are dead, Moriarty.
01:03:02Ha!
01:03:04Still the same old, swaggering, conceited Sherlock Holmes.
01:03:07Wait.
01:03:08If Moriarty has a shot, he'll kill Holmes.
01:03:13You keep an eye on the boat.
01:03:14Don't make a move till Dr. Watson and I get inside.
01:03:16Understand?
01:03:17You wait here, Professor Hoffner.
01:03:18Come on, Doctor.
01:03:19Come on, Doctor.
01:03:20He's in the air.
01:03:21He's in the air.
01:03:23I'm sorry, Mr. Watson.
01:03:24He's in the air.
01:03:25He's in the air.
01:03:26You're in the air.
01:03:27He's in the air.
01:03:28I'm out of the air.
01:03:29Don't make a move till Dr. Watson and I get inside.
01:03:30Understand?
01:03:32You wait here, Professor Hoffner.
01:03:33Come on, Doctor.
01:03:48If the water is this way, Moriarty's rooms must be up here.
01:04:07I can't wait any longer, Holmes.
01:04:15You'll have to forgive the crudity, my friend.
01:04:19This is only the coup de grace.
01:04:24Stand still, Moriarty, you're done for!
01:04:28Holmes!
01:04:30On the contrary, Inspector, my men are outside.
01:04:33It's you who are done for.
01:04:35Really?
01:04:37Just take a look out the window.
01:04:39And see for yourself.
01:04:49He'll try to get to the speedboat.
01:04:52Yes, he won't go without Tobel. Come along.
01:04:54Wait!
01:04:55Here's Dr. Tobel, Inspector. He ain't too badly hurt.
01:05:01Thank heavens for that. Look after him, will you, Hoffner?
01:05:03I'll take him to the car.
01:05:04Here's Dr. Tobel, Inspector. He ain't too badly hurt.
01:05:09Thank heavens for that. Look after him, will you, Hoffner?
01:05:11I'll take him to the car.
01:05:13Hmm, I expected you, but not with my revolver.
01:05:14You'll realize, of course, when I was brought into the room,
01:05:15you'll realize, of course, when I was brought into the room,
01:05:16you'll have to take him to the car.
01:05:17I'll take him to the car.
01:05:18You'll never get him to the car.
01:05:39I expected you, but not with my revolver.
01:05:41You'll realize, of course, when I was brought into the room blindfolded.
01:05:45I heard the mechanism of this door.
01:05:46mechanism of this door. Of course. And yet knowing that I'd heard it, you planned this way of escape.
01:05:51Not very flattering to me. Suicide, my dear professor. Not at all, my dear Holmes. You see,
01:05:57this is not an ordinary passageway. Oh, my mistake. It has been as equally well prepared as the rest of
01:06:04my humble quarters. I have a trap set, electric eye principle. My passing through will break the
01:06:10beam and automatically open a highly deceptive trap door. Behind me, of course, my pursuer,
01:06:18meaning you, my dear Holmes, will then be plunged 60 feet into the sewers below. Holmes!
01:06:30Holmes! Poor Moriarty. I neglected to warn him. It seems some careless person came across his
01:06:40trap door and left it open. Come along, Watson.
01:06:55Germany wanted the Tobel bombsite. We'll send her thousands of them in RAF planes.
01:07:02Yes, thanks to Mr. Sherlock Holmes and to Mrs. Tobel.
01:07:08And, of course, Inspector Lestrade. Oh, well, that's all right, miss.
01:07:17Things are looking up, Holmes. This little island's still on the map.
01:07:22Yes.
01:07:24This fortress, built by nature for herself.
01:07:28Well, this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
01:07:41You won't be the one, sir.
01:07:42Not this world's most beautiful.
01:07:47Oh, no, no one, miss.
01:07:55The center of the empire.
01:07:56You run, sir.
01:07:58The star of the la senp делать.
01:08:02You run, sir.
01:08:04neural training.
01:08:04Thank you, sir.
01:08:05The мerylppmer.
01:08:05You run, sir.
01:08:05It's all right, like you.
01:08:06But you run, sir.
01:08:06You run, sir.
01:08:08You run, sir.
01:08:09The End
