00:03:02THE END

00:03:04The price is much too low.

00:03:05I could not possibly sell so rare a book for such a price.

00:03:10I will induce Dr. Tobel to come on a visit to my shop.

00:03:13Let's be past the alleyway.

00:03:16You are interested in this book?

00:03:18A rare old set of Bismarck papers.

00:03:23One last warning.

00:03:25I've just had word from Berlin.

00:03:27The English fine hunter will try to take Dr. Tobel from under our very eyes.

00:03:31They are sending a stupid, bumbling, amateur detective.

00:03:34His name is Holmes, or Homs, or some such foolishness.

00:03:37You will never escape from Switzerland alive.

00:03:40Now, quick, let me throw him out of here.

00:03:43And watch for my signal from Dr. Tobel's window.

00:03:46But, gentlemen, you promised to buy one of my books.

00:03:49I told you no.

00:03:50Stop bothering us.

00:03:51They are not so great.

00:03:53Pricely, please.

00:03:54I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:03:55I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:04:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:04:01I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:04:12French, English, how I hate those languages.

00:04:17Calm yourself, my dear Bron.

00:04:18In a short time, there will be only one language.

00:04:21Good evening, Dr. Tobel.

00:04:45I have here some very interesting scientific books.

00:04:49I thought you might like to see them.

00:04:52Please come in.

00:04:56He's entering the house.

00:04:57Quickly.

00:04:58Get the car and have the motor running.

00:04:59I will follow.

00:05:00Here.

00:05:01Ex will have the Tobel bombsite of the Fuhrer while this Holmes is still having his tea.

00:05:06Now.

00:05:19What are you doing?

00:05:32I am sorry.

00:05:33For four months, every move I have made has been watched.

00:05:37I am not a coward, Mr. Holmes.

00:05:39They won't watch you anymore.

00:05:40Tonight they intend to take you forcibly across the German border.

00:05:43Then why do we wait here, doing nothing, like rats in a trap?

00:05:47Calm yourself, my dear Dr. Tobel.

00:05:49We shall not only escape their trap, but we shall also take the cheese away with us.

00:05:54But, but how?

00:05:56The four sections of your bombsite fit inside these ponderous tomes.

00:06:01Although I must confess that I shy to the thought of disembowering a complete set of Charles Dickens.

00:06:06Ah, but you cannot hide me in a hollow book.

00:06:09My dear fellow.

00:06:10I am sorry that my good friend, Dr. Watson, isn't here to explain to you that my preparations are never slip shot.

00:06:21Stephan!

00:06:22Eric!

00:06:23Why do you call my servants?

00:06:24Your servants?

00:06:25Yes.

00:06:26But tonight they assume new roles.

00:06:27Let me present Dr. Tobel and our old friend, the bookseller.

00:06:30Holmes, it is so simple.

00:06:32Yes, the obvious always appears simple.

00:06:34Quick now.

00:06:35We must leave.

00:06:36Stephan, the knapsack.

00:07:05Stephan and Eric are proving excellent coys.

00:07:06And the chapeau has been fooled?

00:07:07Completely.

00:07:08Our servants are leading them into the next street.

00:07:10But what will happen to Stephan and Eric?

00:07:11Nothing.

00:07:12Don't worry.

00:07:13I've taken care of that.

00:07:14The way is clear.

00:07:15Come on, quick.

00:07:16The way is clear.

00:07:17Come on, quick.

00:07:18The way is clear.

00:07:19The way is clear.

00:07:20Come on, quick.

00:07:21The way is clear.

00:07:22Come on, quick.

00:07:23You would take the Nazis on.

00:07:24The way is clear.

00:07:25You would take the Nazis on.

00:07:26The way is clear.

00:07:27The way is clear.

00:07:28Come on, quick.

00:07:29The way is clear.

00:07:30The way is clear.

00:07:31You would take the Nazis on.

00:07:32The way is clear.

00:07:33What is clear.

00:07:34You would take the Nazis on.

00:07:35The way is clear.

00:07:36You would take the Nazis on.

00:07:38The way is clear.

00:07:40The way is clear.

00:07:42The way is clear.

00:07:43The way is clear.

00:07:46You would take the Nazis' own car.

00:07:50One must adapt oneself to the tools at hand.

00:07:56I do think you made them believe you're a harmless old bookseller.

00:08:11Yes, I've always felt that a better knowledge of the classics might come in handy.

00:08:19But how can we get across the border and through France?

00:08:23There's no need to get across.

00:08:24At this very moment, a Royal Air Force plane is waiting for us at a secret landing place.

00:08:43How long before we arrive in London?

00:08:46In a very few minutes. We're passing over Dover now.

00:08:54You don't have to get used to our London blackouts, Dr. Tobel.

00:09:16I don't know.

00:09:46Very untidy fellow.

00:09:48What are we going to do with these?

00:09:51A problem of the most elementary nature, my dear Dr. Tobel.

00:09:54You are going to keep them here?

00:10:03I have always believed in the theory, originally projected by Edgar Allan Poe, the American writer.

00:10:09But the best place to hide anything is where everyone can see it.

00:10:14Yes, but...

00:10:15You will remember, no doubt, in Poe's story, the furloined letter.

00:10:19And the missive in question was always in plain view.

00:10:31Hands up, gentlemen.

00:10:32Scotland Yard, quick!

00:10:44Oh, my goodness!

00:10:48Good evening, Mrs. Hudson.

00:10:52Oh, why, it's Mr. Holmes.

00:10:55Holmes!

00:10:56Hello, Watson, old fellow.

00:10:57Good to see you again.

00:10:59Telephone.

00:10:59Huh?

00:11:01Who do you want?

00:11:03Oh, yes, you're Scotland Yard.

00:11:05I'm afraid there's been a little mistake.

00:11:07Well, you didn't get angry.

00:11:09We all make mistakes at times.

00:11:10What?

00:11:11Well, if we didn't, you'd be out of a job.

00:11:14Dr. Tobel, this is my friend and associate, and as you may have observed, my watchdog, Dr. Watson.

00:11:20How do you do, sir?

00:11:21How do you do?

00:11:21Dr. Tobel and I flew in from Zurich this evening.

00:11:23You can put that thing away now, Watson.

00:11:27Dr. Tobel?

00:11:28Awarded the Massingham request for physics in 1939.

00:11:31My dear Watson, there is only one Dr. Tobel.

00:11:34Without Mr. Holmes, there would have been no Dr. Tobel, I am afraid.

00:11:38But I thought you were living in America, sir.

00:11:40I have been working in Switzerland for the past two years.

00:11:43And Holmes got you out?

00:11:44In the nick of time.

00:11:46There was not a point he overlooked.

00:11:47Every contingency was foreseen and provided for.

00:11:51It was magnificent.

00:11:53Thank you, doctor.

00:11:54The problem is not without its interesting points.

00:11:56Is there anything you would like, Mr. Holmes?

00:11:58Oh, thank you, Mrs. Hudson.

00:11:59You can go to bed now.

00:12:00You gave me an awful fright dressed up like that.

00:12:03Well, good night, sir.

00:12:05He's quite right.

00:12:06You can't blame me for jumping to the conclusion that I did.

00:12:08He looked like a broken-down musician.

00:12:11Holmes, why didn't you take your fiddle with you?

00:12:14I never did think much of this dressing-up business.

00:12:17It was necessary, I assure you.

00:12:18The Gestapo was close on our heels.

00:12:20Oh, really?

00:12:21This is Sherlock Holmes.

00:12:23I want to speak to Sir Reginald Bailey, please.

00:12:25Reginald Bailey?

00:12:26Is that the fellow who played Raga for Blackheath?

00:12:28Yes, Watson.

00:12:29Oh.

00:12:29Hello, Sir Reginald.

00:12:32Holmes speaking.

00:12:33Yes, from Baker Street.

00:12:35I have Dr. Tobel with me.

00:12:38Oh, thank you.

00:12:40Very well, then.

00:12:41I'll meet you in half an hour.

00:12:43There must be no delay.

00:12:44I'll arrange with Sir Reginald to have the test tomorrow morning.

00:12:47I suggest that only cabinet ministers and your best aviation experts be present.

00:12:51Naturally.

00:12:52Watson, I leave Dr. Tobel in your care.

00:12:53Give him a sedative.

00:12:54This has been a strenuous business, and he has a long day ahead of him again tomorrow.

00:12:57Certainly, Holmes, of course.

00:12:59He shall sleep in my bedroom.

00:13:00I'll keep watch till you return.

00:13:02It is not necessary to guard me.

00:13:04I am quite safe now.

00:13:06Safe, Dr. Tobel?

00:13:07I shouldn't count on it for a second.

00:13:09But, Mr. Holmes...

00:13:10A great deal may depend on your safety.

00:13:12And the enemy understands that just as well as we do.

00:13:15Good night.

00:13:20Keep alert, Watson.

00:13:21Yes, of course.

00:13:23A couple of these, and you'll sleep peacefully through a blitz.

00:13:27You'd better start undressing at once, or you'll find yourself fast asleep in the middle of taking off your trousers.

00:13:32Well, I'll sit over here and keep an eye on things.

00:13:35Oh, by the way, if you're nervous, call out.

00:13:39Good night, Doctor.

00:13:40Good night, Doctor.

00:13:42Well, I'm both saying the same thing at the same time.

00:13:45Good night, Doctor.

00:13:46Good night, Doctor.

00:13:47Good night, Doctor.

00:13:51Good night, sir.

00:13:52I'm tidy for the homes.

00:14:09Good night.

00:14:10Good night.

00:14:11Good night.

00:14:12Hello?

00:14:36Yes, I just arrived about an hour ago.

00:14:38It is most important that I see you at once.

00:14:40No, no, I cannot explain.

00:14:46It is now five minutes past midnight.

00:14:49I leave at once.

00:14:51Goodbye.

00:15:08Holmes, I don't have to tell you how much this means to us.

00:15:11We shall know a great deal more about the bombsite after the demonstration, Sir Reginald.

00:15:15The war office have a pretty good idea of the value of the Tobel bombsite, just as the Nazis have.

00:15:22However, oh, if you'd care to place Dr. Tobel under the protection of Scotland Yard until tomorrow...

00:15:28No, no, no, that won't be necessary.

00:15:31I shall personally deliver Dr. Tobel to your representatives on Salisbury Plain in plenty of time for the demonstration.

00:15:37Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:39Good night, Mr. Holmes.

00:15:40Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:41Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:42Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:43Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:44Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:45Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:46Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:47Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:48Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:49Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:50Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:51Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:52Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:53Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:54Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:55Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:56Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:57Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:58Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:15:59Good night, Sir Reginald.

00:16:00Charlotte Averley, flat B.

00:16:21Right. Get the car ready.

00:16:24I'll wait here until he comes out.

00:16:30Is that what the Americans call doodling?

00:16:51It is more serious than you could possibly realize, Charlotte.

00:16:59Good.

00:17:00More coffee?

00:17:06No, thank you, darling.

00:17:07I must get back before they miss me.

00:17:10We've been separated for so long.

00:17:12I couldn't bear it if anything should part us again.

00:17:15I want to work with you, and I want to know every minute where you are.

00:17:18Even for you to know the details of my mission in London is to sign your death warrant.

00:17:24If you are in real danger, I want to share it.

00:17:28There is one thing you can do.

00:17:34Guard this envelope.

00:17:36If anything happens to me, see that it reaches the hands of Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

00:17:40Mr. Sherlock Holmes?

00:17:41Yes.

00:17:43I pray I never have to deliver it.

00:17:45Yeah, honey.

00:17:45I pray I never have to do this.

00:26:09we must remember that he as a citizen of switzerland

00:26:12is under no obligation to give us his invention

00:26:14we must do as he asks

00:26:16don't you agree holmes

00:26:18be sure sir reginald

00:26:19i'm not officially connected with the government

00:26:21and i intend to remain on the case

00:26:33hofner

00:26:42i am entrusting this to you

00:26:44because first of all you are a swiss

00:26:45and second there is no doubt in my mind of your ability

00:26:48i'm not dr tobel

00:26:50i have divided the mechanism of my invention into four units

00:26:54each is meaningless without the others

00:26:56you have delivered the other three

00:26:57yes

00:26:57no one but myself knows the identity of the four scientists

00:27:01working on the four units

00:27:02their names are not even known to each other

00:27:04i think i understand

00:27:06from what you tell me

00:27:07it will be easy to reproduce the unit assigned to me

00:27:11in any quantity you wish

00:27:12i knew i could rely on you

00:27:14i will get in touch with you

00:27:15as soon as i have made the rest of my arrangements

00:27:44missing

00:27:45yes i was afraid of this

00:28:03how long has he been missing

00:28:04practically since he walked out of your office yesterday

00:28:07if you'd only give me the address of this place

00:28:10i shouldn't have had to waste so much time finding it

00:28:12empty

00:28:15the bomb site's gone

00:28:16i didn't expect to find it here sir reginald

00:28:18this is a pretty mess

00:28:19if you knew this was going to happen

00:28:20why the devil didn't you do something about it

00:28:22you can rely on holmes implicitly sir reginald

00:28:24tobel's gone and heaven alone knows where

00:28:26but it serves me right for listening to that crack-brained idea of his

00:28:29he dismissed lestrade's men and they went

00:28:31leaving him here alone and unguarded

00:28:33holmes

00:28:35if anything has happened to tobel

00:28:36if his invention falls into the hands of germany

00:28:38it would be a major disaster for england

00:30:52i was to give you this

00:30:54holmes

00:30:56then he must have expected something

00:30:58yes

00:31:03it hasn't been out of my hands

00:31:20sets of figures

00:31:21what kind of figures

00:31:22well they

00:31:23they looked like little dancing men

00:31:25dancing men

00:31:26that's curious

00:31:28who's been in this apartment

00:31:29since dr tobel entrusted that envelope to your care

00:31:32why no one

00:31:34i've had no visitors

00:31:36think

00:31:36possibly a tradesman

00:31:38no

00:31:39only the one

00:31:40for a few minutes

00:31:42and that one

00:31:43a workman

00:31:44he came to fix my light switch

00:31:46he couldn't have possibly

00:31:48did you send for him

00:31:48why no

00:31:50my lights went out

00:31:52and soon afterwards

00:31:53he knocked at my door

00:31:53and told me the porter had sent him up

00:31:55that's where he worked

00:31:56but he wasn't alone in this room

00:32:01more than five minutes

00:32:02and he did fix the lights

00:32:04they went on again

00:32:05this switch hasn't been touched

00:32:06the paint still covers the screw heads

00:32:08he simply threw the main switch in the basement

00:32:11pretended to work on this one

00:32:13and after a few moments

00:32:15an accomplice threw the main switch back on

00:32:17but in those few minutes

00:32:18did you get a look at his face

00:32:19no

00:32:20only a glance

00:32:21now i realize he kept his face averted

00:32:23but he was a large man

00:32:24yes he was large

00:32:25his eyes heavy lidded

00:32:26a thin film over the pupils

00:32:28then holmes

00:32:28you

00:35:18I'm singing.

00:35:22Who no, I'm singing?

00:35:24I do.

00:35:26You blooming wharf rat.

00:35:29Been in jail, ain't you?

00:35:30How you know?

00:35:32I heard from the blighter what left you to swing instead of him.

00:35:38You know who I mean, matey.

00:35:40I know.

00:35:41Well, I have to kill him.

00:35:44Would he be worth ten pounds, will you?

00:35:46You know where he lived?

00:35:48For ten pounds, I know.

00:35:50Only got two.

00:35:51Goodbye, matey.

00:35:55Five.

00:35:56Ten pounds or nothing, you lying, Ethan.

00:35:58You dirty demon.

00:36:00Well, that ain't enough so much to ask for what you want to know.

00:36:05You'll make good bargain.

00:36:15That does it.

00:36:16Well?

00:36:19You remember Angel's Court?

00:36:21Huh?

00:36:21Then follow your nose through the alley till you come to Jack Brady's carpenter shop.

00:36:27He can tell you where the blighter is at this very moment.

00:36:31You'll come too?

00:36:32Me?

00:36:33If you'll lie.

00:36:36All right, mister.

00:36:37I'll come along with you.

00:36:38Easy, matey.

00:36:39Easy.

00:36:41Follow me.

00:36:45Please, governor.

00:36:47I ain't had nothing to eat for two days.

00:36:48I'll go away.

00:37:09Who's there?

00:37:11Franklin.

00:37:15Who's this bloke?

00:37:17He's a bloodthirsty yeadon.

00:37:18But there's good money to spend for information.

00:37:34What's he want to know?

00:37:36He'll give me, uh, five pounds to bring him to someone.

00:37:40What could tell him the whereabouts of you-know-who?

00:37:44You know, tell me I cut two-throat.

00:37:46Cost you another fiver.

00:37:49Five pounds more, eh?

00:37:52You, Pim.

00:37:53Me?

00:37:54Come on, you.

00:37:55Come on, Pim.

00:38:00I'll tell you all right, I will.

00:38:11The truth and that's a fact.

00:38:13The plight is in Davy Jones' locker.

00:38:15A feet and the fish as he is.

00:38:16Deader than a blinking mackerel.

00:38:18Now, ain't that worth a fiver?

00:38:20Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

00:38:50An admirable disguise, by the way.

00:38:52It fooled them completely.

00:38:54Of course it didn't fool me.

00:38:55I never intended that it should.

00:38:57I meant only that it should bring us face to face.

00:39:01Just like old times, eh?

00:39:03A battle of wits, of superior intellects.

00:39:07I may say I've been expecting you

00:39:09since I made off of your precious Dr. Tobel.

00:39:11And his code.

00:39:12Ah, yes. And his code.

00:39:16But valuable as your doctor and his code are to my business,

00:39:21I think my main interest in this affair

00:39:23is the chance he gives me to battle with you again.

00:39:32Moriarty.

00:39:34This is no simple crime that you contemplate.

00:39:37It's a staggering blow against your own country.

00:39:40That doesn't concern me overly.

00:39:42I shall make greater profit from this affair

00:39:44than all my other adventures put together.

00:39:47Then you refuse.

00:39:48Oh, most assuredly.

00:39:51In fact, I intend to ensure the success of this venture tonight

00:39:55by liquidating you, Mr. Holmes.

00:39:58I think that is the American phrase.

00:40:01Quite.

00:40:02You the one man intelligent enough to stand in my way.

00:40:06A gun.

00:40:08Oh, come now.

00:40:09This is not the Professor Moriarty,

00:40:12the master criminal I once knew.

00:40:14A dock rat could do as much.

00:40:16Did you think I was going to shoot you, Mr. Holmes?

00:40:18Oh, dear me, no.

00:40:22This is simply to prevent a troublesome scene.

00:40:25I expected you

00:40:26and made full arrangements.

00:40:28You see, my good Mr. Holmes,

00:40:32these shelves lift out.

00:40:35And you will rest, somewhat uncomfortably,

00:40:38in the false bottom of his sea chest.

00:40:42My sailor friend, Jack Brady,

00:40:43goes to sea immediately.

00:40:45Once out of sight of land,

00:40:47he pushes the chest overboard.

00:40:49Time up.

00:40:55Perhaps your good friend, Dr. Watson,

00:40:58can entitle this adventure

00:40:59The End of Sherlock Holmes.

00:41:03He will be disappointed.

00:41:05He intended to call it

00:41:06The End of Professor Moriarty.

00:41:09Hurry.

00:41:10Aye, sir.

00:41:19Brilliant man, Sherlock Holmes.

00:41:34Too bad he was honest.

00:41:40The one-legged man,

00:41:41he takes Mr. Holmes

00:41:42right to that carpenter shop.

00:41:45He knocks on the door,

00:41:47a man comes out,

00:41:48and in they go.

00:41:49Thank you, George.

00:41:50We'll take over the watch.

00:41:51Good night, Dr. Watson.

00:41:52Good night.

00:41:57What does Mr. Holmes

00:41:58hope to accomplish

00:41:59by this masquerade?

00:42:01He hopes to frighten Moriarty

00:42:02and to rush him to Bell

00:42:03into another hiding place.

00:42:05Moriarty's dead, I tell you.

00:42:07Look out.

00:42:08Over here, quick.

00:42:19Hey, just a minute.

00:42:28Who's there?

00:42:29What have you got there?

00:42:30Who's asking?

00:42:32Scotland Yard?

00:42:32Scotland.

00:42:33Half a mole, Governor.

00:42:34I'll show you me papers.

00:42:37There you are, Governor.

00:42:38There you are, Governor.

00:42:46I'm Jack Brady,

00:42:47ship's carpenter.

00:42:48Shipping out tonight

00:42:49in the convoy.

00:42:50Destination unknown.

00:42:52Me palier's helping me

00:42:53get me chest aboard.

00:42:54Make them open at the start.

00:42:55Yes, go on.

00:42:57All right, Governor.

00:42:57See for yourself.

00:43:04There's nothing here, Doctor.

00:43:05Just a couple of

00:43:05simple sea fairy men.

00:43:07All right, get on with it.

00:43:08Thank you, Governor.

00:43:13Come on, now.

00:43:15Easy does it.

00:43:16Right.

00:43:19Good night, the Lordships.

00:43:23Told you it was a lot of nonsense.

00:43:24I don't understand.

00:43:26That thing was way a ton.

00:43:27Look at those men staggering.

00:43:29You fit on something, Doctor.

00:43:31A few tools

00:43:31wouldn't take that much energy.

00:43:33We've just looked inside.

00:43:34On the top only,

00:43:35there might be a false bottle.

00:43:36Hey, you!

00:43:36You, stop there!

00:43:38Stop or I'll shoot!

00:43:56Great Scott Holmes!

00:43:57Well, I'll be blown!

00:44:00You're not hurt?

00:44:01No.

00:44:03Well, you needn't have yelled at them

00:44:05so abruptly.

00:44:05Huh?

00:44:06They dropped me on my head.

00:44:08Oh.

00:44:08Moriarty would have been delighted.

00:44:10So, Professor Moriarty is alive?

00:44:12Alive and in possession

00:44:13of Dr. Tobel's coat.

00:44:14No good going back.

00:44:15They've all gone.

00:44:16Then what are you going to do?

00:44:17Well, first I'm going to wash

00:44:17this filthy stuff off my face.

00:44:20Then I'm going to see

00:44:20Miss Eberley again.

00:44:22I've got to find some clue

00:44:23to the content

00:44:23of Dr. Tobel's message.

00:44:25Come along, quick.

00:44:26I only got one glimpse

00:44:27of the note

00:44:28while he was preparing it.

00:44:31He was seated

00:44:31at this desk?

00:44:33No, he was sitting

00:44:34on the couch

00:44:35when he wrote the message,

00:44:36but he sealed

00:44:36the envelope here.

00:44:37The message was written

00:44:38in ink with this pen?

00:44:39No, he used a pencil.

00:44:40This one.

00:44:45He used this writing pad?

00:44:46Yes.

00:44:46Has it been used since?

00:44:47No.

00:44:50They should be here.

00:44:52They must be here.

00:44:53What, Mr. Holmes?

00:44:54The letter in this pencil

00:44:55is hard.

00:44:56Hard enough to make

00:44:56an impression

00:44:57on the coarse fibers

00:44:58of which this paper is made.

00:45:01The impressions

00:45:01at the moment

00:45:02are invisible.

00:45:05If we immerse this sheet

00:45:07in a solution

00:45:08of fluorescent salts,

00:45:10dry it,

00:45:11and then photograph it

00:45:12by ultraviolet light,

00:45:16the fibers broken

00:45:17by the writing

00:45:18will absorb less

00:45:20of the solution

00:45:20than other parts

00:45:21of the paper.

00:45:24Switch off the lights, Watson.

00:45:30We place the slide

00:45:31in the projector

00:45:32and turn on the light.

00:45:35The broken fibers

00:45:38appear darker

00:45:39than the rest

00:45:39of the paper

00:45:39and are therefore visible.

00:45:43Splendid, Holmes.

00:45:44Now I recognize

00:45:45that code.

00:45:46Do you remember

00:45:47a case we had

00:45:47some years ago?

00:45:48It's probably the same,

00:45:49alphabet substitution code.

00:45:51Yes, Watson.

00:45:52I believe Dr. Tobel

00:45:53meant to communicate

00:45:54with us,

00:45:54but that means...

00:45:55Substitution of the alphabet?

00:45:57I don't understand.

00:45:58My dear,

00:45:58one of the oldest codes

00:45:59in use is based

00:46:01on the repetition

00:46:01of figures.

00:46:02E is the letter

00:46:03most used

00:46:04in the British language.

00:46:05Therefore,

00:46:06the figure most used

00:46:07probably in this message

00:46:08is E.

00:46:10T, A, O, I, and N

00:46:13follow in that order

00:46:14of frequency.

00:46:15You mean you can read

00:46:16these figures

00:46:17as if they were letters

00:46:17of the alphabet?

00:46:18Elementary, my dear,

00:46:19Miss Abel.

00:46:20Give me one minute

00:46:21and you shall have

00:46:22the message.

00:46:27And what is

00:46:28the message, Watson?

00:46:28This fellow Tobel

00:46:30must have been

00:46:31pulling our legs.

00:46:32It's a lot of gibberish.

00:46:34I, Y, Z, L, M, T, H, K.

00:46:37Reads like an eye doctor's chart.

00:46:39Dr. Tobel

00:46:40is a brilliant scientist.

00:46:41I saw immediately

00:46:42that he wouldn't

00:46:42send us a message

00:46:43so simple to decipher.

00:46:45Neither would he affix

00:46:46these top figures

00:46:46without a meaning.

00:46:47Then it isn't

00:46:48the Alfred substitution code.

00:46:49Yes, it is, Watson,

00:46:50but with a very clever variation.

00:46:53You see,

00:46:54the one, two, three figures

00:46:55means that we skip

00:46:56letters in that order.

00:46:57In other words,

00:46:58observe, Watson.

00:47:00The first letter,

00:47:01which is I,

00:47:02skips one

00:47:03and becomes J.

00:47:04The second letter,

00:47:06Y,

00:47:07skips two

00:47:07and becomes A.

00:47:08And the third skips three

00:47:09and becomes C.

00:47:11J-A-C.

00:47:12J-A-C-O-B-D-U-R-R-E-R.

00:47:19Jacob Durer,

00:47:20a Swiss scientist

00:47:21and friend of Dr. Tobel's.

00:47:23P-A-L-A-C-O-B-D-U-R-R-E-R.

00:47:27C-E-C-R-E-S.

00:47:32Paris Crescent.

00:47:33Right.

00:47:34I say, Holmes,

00:47:35this man Durer

00:47:36must be important.

00:47:37Obviously, Watson.

00:47:38He must have some connection

00:47:39with the bombsite

00:47:40or Tobel wouldn't have

00:47:41taken so much trouble

00:47:42to see that I got his name.

00:47:43Take down the rest

00:47:44of the message.

00:47:46J-O-S-E-P-H, Joseph.

00:47:52E-M-D-D-I-A-C.

00:47:56Number four

00:47:56doesn't make any sense.

00:47:58He must have used

00:47:58some other variations.

00:48:04Four names and addresses.

00:48:06Jacob Durer,

00:48:07Professor Farrell,

00:48:08Dr. Kern.

00:48:09And this fourth

00:48:11infernal cipher

00:48:12which doesn't fit the code.

00:48:16Christmas boxes.

00:48:17Watson,

00:48:21I'm beginning

00:48:22to see the plan.

00:48:24Dr. Tobel

00:48:25divided his bombsite

00:48:26into four parts

00:48:27just as we brought it

00:48:29back from Switzerland.

00:48:31He's given one section

00:48:32of the mechanism

00:48:33to each of these

00:48:34famous scientists.

00:48:36What a fascinating plan.

00:48:38You see,

00:48:39each part is useless

00:48:41without the other three

00:48:41and undoubtedly

00:48:42none of these scientists

00:48:44is known to each other.

00:48:45Professor Moriarty

00:48:46also has the code

00:48:48and we must allow

00:48:49for his ability

00:48:50to decipher it.

00:48:53We haven't time

00:48:54to break the fourth code now.

00:48:55We must get to the first

00:48:56three men

00:48:56before Moriarty dance.

00:48:57Palace Crescent first?

00:48:58Right.

00:48:59I'll go and get a taxi.

00:49:00Miss Everly,

00:49:00will you please wait

00:49:01here till we return?

00:49:12Here,

00:49:13where are you going, sir?

00:49:14Jacob, do you not live here?

00:49:15Yes,

00:49:15but there's been

00:49:15a bit of trouble, sir.

00:49:16You can't go in.

00:49:17Inspector Lestrade's orders.

00:49:18Oh.

00:49:19Here,

00:49:19just a minute, sir.

00:49:20That's Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

00:49:22Oh,

00:49:22very sorry, sir.

00:49:30Dead.

00:49:31Dead as a door nailed.

00:49:33Mr. Holmes,

00:49:34how did you know about this?

00:49:36The yard only heard

00:49:3615 minutes ago.

00:49:37We'd better hurry, Holmes.

00:49:38There's still time

00:49:39to save Farrell and Kern.

00:49:40Too late, Watson.

00:49:41Now this time,

00:49:42Farrell and Kern are dead, too.

00:49:43What?

00:49:44Deductions again, Mr. Holmes?

00:49:46Facts, Inspector.

00:49:47Oh, facts.

00:49:52But how do you know about them?

00:49:54Let me mention,

00:49:54my dear Watson.

00:49:55This man has been dead

00:49:56for at least two hours.

00:49:57Moriarty isn't wasting any time.

00:49:58Hello?

00:49:59This is Lestrade.

00:50:01Put me on the mackety.

00:50:04Well, mackety?

00:50:06Oh, this is Lestrade.

00:50:08Do you know anything

00:50:09about two men named

00:50:10Farrell and Kern?

00:50:12Farrell and Kern?

00:50:17What, both of them?

00:50:21Oh.

00:50:24Report only came in

00:50:28two seconds

00:50:29before I telephoned.

00:50:30What on earth

00:50:30are we going to do, Holmes?

00:50:32Moriarty's got a big start

00:50:33and he's got the code.

00:50:34Note this, Watson.

00:50:35Scotland Yard

00:50:36reports two murders.

00:50:37That makes three in all.

00:50:38But there were four boxes

00:50:39and four codes.

00:50:40Obviously,

00:50:41Moriarty hasn't broken

00:50:42the fourth code either.

00:50:42Monty's got a pretty cool

00:50:45in all.

00:50:50What is the name

00:50:52of the fourth man?

00:50:55I can't remember.

00:50:56What is the name

00:50:57of the fourth man?

00:50:59I have forgotten!

00:51:01What is the name

00:51:01of the fourth man?

00:51:03I don't know.

00:51:04I don't know!

00:51:05What is the name

00:51:06of the fourth man?

00:51:07I can't remember!

00:51:08what is the name of the portman don't you realize what this means to england

00:51:16we not only lose the tobel bomb site ourselves but germany gets it coventry bath plymouth london

00:51:23not to mention norigen all over again but with ten times the effect don't you suppose i realize

00:51:30that's reginald don't you suppose i'd give my life to decode the last name of that message

00:51:36there must be some solution naturally watson i didn't be rude i need a drink i'm all in

00:51:43i can't think anymore all these letters and figures whirling through my brain it's all twisted round

00:51:48twisted round that's it that's what twisted around you said so simple i never thought of it

00:51:59reverse the slide you see gentlemen these figures are now identical with the first three names

00:52:09in other words all the figures of name number four are written backwards and read from right to left

00:52:15until we reverse the slide when they read correctly from left to right

00:52:19now let's work on it pencil watson but um why would dr tobel want to reverse the figures of number four

00:52:30an added precaution lestrade in case the cipher should fall into the wrong hands

00:52:33quite a compliment to you mr holmes i mean uh tobel taking for granted that you would recognize the

00:52:41difference thank you f-r-e-d-e r-i-c-k-h-o-f-f-m-e-r frederick hockner s-l-o-a-n-e-s-q-u

00:53:00sloan square we'll just leave it once wait a minute information will you please give me the

00:53:12address of a frederick hoffner in sloan square i'll break this code

00:53:18i'll find the name of that fourth man before holmes does

00:53:23there is not much more time the submarine is to pick us up off sheerness in six hours

00:53:29beaten home so far we'll meet your confounded submarine with the bomb site intact but tobel is

00:53:36unconscious again as last resort we could abandon the code and take tobel to germany

00:53:41you try tobel again in here

00:53:44wait spilling that glass of water was a very fortunate accident my dear street brawler

00:53:54dr tobel's perversion of the cipher was so simple that it fooled us

00:53:59i was looking for something ingenious this is ingenious he simply reversed the cipher

00:54:05f-r-e-d-e-r-i-c-k-h-o-f-f-n-e-r-s-l-o-a-n-e frederick hoffner sloan square of course

00:54:12hoffner would be the perfect selection then you want us to uh tend to hoffner no we can use hoffner

00:54:19he's a brilliant scientist if dr tobel doesn't recover from your persuasion hoffner will be able

00:54:26to put the four parts together

00:54:28and you want us to uh tend to hoffner no we can use hoffner he's a brilliant scientist

00:54:34of course hoffner would be the perfect selection then you want us to uh tend to hoffner no we can

00:54:41use hoffner he's a brilliant scientist if dr tobel doesn't recover from your persuasion hoffner will

00:54:47be able to put the four parts together you and godfrey will call on hoffner and you will bring

00:54:52him here with the fourth section of the bomb site hurry

00:55:17put up your hands professor hoffner

00:55:22put up your hands

00:55:50I'll take the box.

00:56:20We'll meet again, Professor.

00:56:33Sherlock Holmes.

00:56:36An improvement on the other makeup?

00:56:39Don't you think so, Professor?

00:56:42So you think you've beaten me, Holmes?

00:56:44I have.

00:56:45The real Hoffner is safely in the hands of Scotland Yard.

00:56:48But I still have Torbell.

00:56:49Now I shall sell Germany the inventor instead of the invention.

00:56:54You've learned nothing from him in spite of all your torture.

00:56:57Otherwise you wouldn't be trying so desperately to collect the four sections of the bombsite.

00:57:01A keen observation, my dear Holmes.

00:57:04But observe further that you are now in my hands.

00:57:07And I have profited by my last mistake of allowing underlings to attend to you.

00:57:12Holmes took my place.

00:57:14And while the Nazis were inside with him,

00:57:16he instructed me to attach a small apparatus underneath their car.

00:57:19He's a brilliant fellow, Holmes.

00:57:20I helped him prepare the apparatus.

00:57:22Did you really, Doctor?

00:57:23That is, I poured in the luminous paint when you told me to.

00:57:26Very clever, Doctor Watson.

00:57:27The apparatus drips at regular intervals, leaving a trail of luminous paint.

00:57:31I see, leading us to Moriarty and Mr. Holmes.

00:57:45Why are you so confident, Professor?

00:57:48Only a suggestion.

00:57:49But how do you know that Scotland Yard isn't waiting to break in at this very moment?

00:57:52I selected this address with special care.

00:57:56No one can find it.

00:57:57Not even Scotland Yard.

00:58:00Relax, Mr. Holmes.

00:58:02There's no escape.

00:58:05I might suddenly dash to the window,

00:58:08break it open, and shout to a passerby.

00:58:11There are no passersby.

00:58:12The glass in the window is unbreakable,

00:58:15and the room is soundproof.

00:58:18This is my stronghold, Holmes,

00:58:20equipped with all the modern conveniences

00:58:22of a successful man in my profession.

00:58:26Sit down.

00:58:26They fade it out again, sir.

00:58:43I don't understand, Lestrade.

00:58:46It stopped,

00:58:47and then it started,

00:58:50and now it's stopped again.

00:58:52Maybe the apparatus broke down.

00:58:54Oh, a suggestion, gentlemen.

00:58:55Had a crossroad back there.

00:58:57A car might have gone over the spots of paint,

00:59:00picked some up on the tires,

00:59:01and left this false trail.

00:59:03That's just what I was about to suggest myself.

00:59:07Very well.

00:59:07We'll try it.

00:59:17Now, Holmes, what shall it be?

00:59:19The gas chamber?

00:59:21The cup of hemlock?

00:59:22Or just a simple bullet through your brain?

00:59:25You disappoint me, Professor.

00:59:28Indeed?

00:59:30Yes.

00:59:34Somehow I always thought that in the end,

00:59:36you'd prove to be just an ordinary cutthroat.

00:59:39You know me better, Holmes.

00:59:40Gas, poison, bullets.

00:59:44I assure you, Professor,

00:59:46were our positions reversed,

00:59:48I should have something more colorful,

00:59:50more imaginative to offer.

00:59:51I'm satisfied to be the winner.

00:59:54I shall be alive.

00:59:57Alive, yes.

00:59:58The winner, no.

01:00:00For in the last analysis,

01:00:01I shall have proved the more resourceful man.

01:00:04You didn't trap me here.

01:00:05I came here because I wanted to,

01:00:08to prevent your getting Hoffner.

01:00:09And all you can do in return

01:00:11is to commit ordinary murder,

01:00:13to relieve your sense of frustration.

01:00:15And what, my good Mr. Holmes,

01:00:17could you have conceived

01:00:18that would have been so much more colorful?

01:00:21Well, even offhand.

01:00:23I can improve upon your suggestions considerably,

01:00:26but that's only natural, of course.

01:00:27And what is this brilliant idea of yours?

01:00:31You know that a man dies

01:00:32if he loses five pints of blood?

01:00:34Yes, of course you do.

01:00:36I should have you placed on an operating table,

01:00:39inject a needle into your veins,

01:00:40and slowly draw off your life's blood.

01:00:44The needle to the last.

01:00:47Eh, Holmes?

01:00:48Slowly, drop by drop,

01:00:50the blood would be drawn from your body.

01:00:53You would be aware of every exquisite second

01:00:55to the very end.

01:00:57You would be watching yourself die scientifically,

01:00:59noting every reaction,

01:01:01and in full possession of your faculties.

01:01:05Interesting.

01:01:07Yes, isn't it?

01:01:08I humbly submit, Professor,

01:01:11that to the very end,

01:01:12I've been more resourceful than yourself.

01:01:16You've played it to my hands, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

01:01:20Time and again, I've used this place

01:01:21as a haven for friends of mine,

01:01:23injured in altercations with Scotland Yard.

01:01:28I have a fully equipped hospital here.

01:01:38The trail goes this way, Inspector.

01:02:01Drop by drop, Holmes.

01:02:04Drop by drop.

01:02:06In a way, I'm almost sorry.

01:02:12You were a stimulating influence to me.

01:02:16But it was obvious that I should win in the end.

01:02:23Only a matter of moments now.

01:02:25Take Toebel down to the boat.

01:02:26Start the engine.

01:02:27Closer to the end, Holmes.

01:02:41Closer and closer.

01:02:44Each second, a few more drops leave your desiccated body.

01:02:48And you conceal them, can't you?

01:02:56You're perfectly conscious, aren't you, Holmes?

01:03:00I shall be conscious long after you are dead, Moriarty.

01:03:06Ha!

01:03:07Still the same old, swaggering, conceited Sherlock Holmes.

01:03:11Oh, Holmes.

01:03:24Wait.

01:03:30If Moriarty is a shot, he'll kill Holmes.

01:03:33You keep an eye on the boat.

01:03:35Don't make a move till Dr. Watson and I get inside.

01:03:37Understand?

01:03:39You wait here, Professor Hoffner.

01:03:40Come on, Doctor.

01:03:58The water's this way.

01:04:00Moriarty's rooms must be up here.

01:04:11I can't wait any longer, Holmes.

01:04:19You'll have to forgive the crudity, my friend.

01:04:25This is only the coup de grace.

01:04:27Stand still, Moriarty, you're done for.

01:04:33Holmes!

01:04:34On the contrary, Inspector, my men are outside.

01:04:37It's you who are done for.

01:04:39Really?

01:04:40Just take a look out the window.

01:04:43And see for yourself.

01:04:44He'll try to get to the speedboat.

01:04:55Yes, he won't go without Tobel.

01:04:57Come along.

01:04:58Wait.

01:04:58Here's Dr. Tobel, Inspector.

01:05:17He ain't too badly hurt.

01:05:19Thank heavens for that.

01:05:20Look after him, will you, Hoffner?

01:05:21I'll take him to the car.

01:05:22I expected you, but not with my revolver.

01:05:46You realize, of course, when I was brought into the room blindfolded,

01:05:48I heard the mechanism of this door.

01:05:51Of course.

01:05:52And yet, knowing that I'd heard it, you planned this way of escape.

01:05:55Not very flattering to me.

01:05:57Suicide, my dear Professor.

01:05:58Not at all, my dear Holmes.

01:06:00You see, this is not an ordinary passageway.

01:06:03Oh, my mistake.

01:06:05It has been as equally well prepared as the rest of my humble quarters.

01:06:09I have a trap set.

01:06:11Electric eye principle.

01:06:12My passing through will break the beam

01:06:14and automatically open the highly deceptive trap door.

01:06:17Oh, behind me, of course.

01:06:20My pursuer, meaning you, my dear Holmes,

01:06:23will then be plunged 60 feet into the sewers below.

01:06:26Holmes!

01:06:34Holmes!

01:06:36Poor Moriarty.

01:06:39I neglected to warn him.

01:06:41It seemed some careless person came across his trap door

01:06:44and left it open.

01:06:46Come along, Watson.

01:06:58Germany wanted the Tobel bombsite.

01:07:01We'll send her thousands of them in RAF planes.

01:07:05Yes.

01:07:06Thanks to Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

01:07:09And to Mrs. Tobel.

01:07:10And, of course, Inspector Lestrade.

01:07:14Oh, well, that's all right, miss.

01:07:20Things are looking up, Holmes.

01:07:22This little island's still on the map.

01:07:25Yes.

01:07:25This fortress built by nature for herself.

01:07:34This blessed plot.

01:07:37This earth.

01:07:37This realm.

01:07:39This England.

01:07:40This world.

01:07:40This little island.

01:07:41This little island.

01:07:44You're welcome.

01:07:45This little island.

01:07:46I'm so sorry.

01:07:47This little island.
