02:39After all, they promised to introduce you to ladies of cultural and intellectual backgrounds similar to your own.

02:46But they didn't mention blackmail.

02:50Two thousand pounds, you say?

02:51An impossible sum.

02:54Even if I were guilty, which I'm not.

02:57My whole career is at stake, Mr. Holmes.

02:59I think it might be a good idea to have a look into this marriage bureau.

03:02Don't you agree, Watson?

03:03Yes, I'd say so.

03:04I simply can't believe Mr. Oliver, he's the proprietor, could be involved in this.

03:09And you say you have three days to pay or disprove the accusation, eh?

03:13Yes, Mr. Holmes.

03:16It's not very long, I know.

03:18It isn't getting any longer.

03:19I suggest that Dr. Watson and I start our investigations immediately.

03:37Coward!

03:37Now, Holmes, there must be another way of doing this business.

03:40We're working against time.

03:42This is the only way we can get to the core of the case.

03:44Now, listen, listen, listen, Holmes.

03:46Now, listen.

03:47You go on in and I'll just wait here.

03:49Do you see?

03:49But I'll be here if you need me.

03:51Absolutely no use to me at all out here.

03:53Come on.

03:54Oh, come on.

03:56Come on, Watson.

03:57Come on.

03:57Good afternoon, constable.

04:06Beautiful weather we're having, eh?

04:07Good afternoon.

05:37and you're the heir next in line

06:34i say holmes what was all that whispering about my uh financial position but that confounded busybody

06:41asked me the same questions i answered them straight out no but you gave them real information

06:45they'll never try and blackmail you old boy well gentlemen everything's worked out perfectly the ladies

06:51are waiting in the salon where we generally introduce our couples and let them have a get acquainted chat

06:57my secretary is there with them and she will introduce you um the door at the far end of the hall

07:03thank you well monson come on what are you waiting for go on go on door at the other end

08:18not really you've never really been to paris yeah oh you'd adore paris my aunt agatha always went in

08:34september you know she said it was quite sinful enough to go to paris at all without going in the

08:39spring that's very funny i'm so sorry i hope i haven't shocked you oh no no of course not oh good

08:51and uh sir charles was furious of course well he hates to lose a wager but did he pay you the 500

09:09oh of course on the spot why wouldn't he why don't you say something

09:20you have very pretty eyes oh you're a romantic one

09:35well has everyone become acquainted oh we've had ever such a lovely chat mr oliver splendid

09:44it's nearly time for us to close the bureau so i must ask you to leave in a few moments but first

09:50in accordance with our policy i want to encourage all of you to know each other might i for instance

09:56suggest that all of you have tea together tomorrow and then perhaps go to the theater that is of course

10:02if it suits everyone's convenience oh that would be lovely oh yes yes perfectly delightful excellent

10:11well i will allow you some minutes to make your preparations and then i'm afraid we must close the office

10:17well i see you through home what do you make of it all nothing i didn't expect you we were merely

10:30planting seeds watson planting seeds yes it's my theory that if oliver and the others are blackmailing

10:36they're choosing their victims pretty carefully however i hope that at tea time tomorrow we'll be

10:40able to obtain more evidence in support of my theory the trouble is that our client can't wait very much

10:47longer you were telling me about your musical background mr has i i've read i interrupted you

10:57well there isn't very much to tell really i've spent a considerable fortune on my musical education

11:03but what instrument was it you need to play it the violin my dear the violin at times rather brilliantly i've

11:12been told oh dear do be careful i followed you this time oh charlie oh no come on i beg your pardon oh

11:27oh no don't don't don't stay out of it don't don't oh wait a minute so you're the one

11:41oh charlie what have you done to him the police somebody get the police he's my husband this man this

11:49one here i saw what he did ma'am you better not try any more tricks miss or the people soon settle you

11:55but this is outrageous you don't understand but it's true it's true they're married and he was

12:00trying to break them up i know his type in here comfortable there's your man

12:09holmes why don't you say something you can't do anything like this happen to you

12:12we've fallen very neatly into their trap don't you agree watson

12:25well everyone seems quite thoroughly in agreement except of course your friend here

12:31these other witnesses are in full accord and the testimony of the proprietress of the tea shop

12:35supports them but inspector this is absolutely outrageous where's inspector lestrade he'll speak

12:41for mr holmes inspector lestrade i'm sorry it isn't inspector lestrade's case

12:47well i think we have everything we need now you'll go except of course mr holmes he's under arrest

13:03oh my life i've waited for something like this assault and battery you should stick to your magnifying

13:20glass oh hello lestrade by jett i'm glad you're here oh i was just seeing our more dangerous criminals

13:26were properly guarded you were right holmes oliver called on me and told me that for four thousand

13:31pounds this case would be quietly dropped why he's insane he's not insane wasn't he just greedy no

13:37he's insane he kept on saying that he was sure aunt agatha would fix it aunt agatha four thousand

13:43pounds what are you talking about no i'm not sure myself well listen once now that we know where to

13:47look we can take them quickly only you've got to let me out of here lestrade what's the matter

13:50holmes this is one of our more comfortable jails listen lestrade a man's life is involved in this

13:55jeffrey born candidate for parliament he's been blackmailed by the same group we can stop them now

13:59only you've got to let me out of here well i didn't know it was serious this isn't my case i'll have a

14:04word with mason he's senior arresting officer in this job he's the only one who can let you out of

14:08here without a court order i'll see him right away well hurry up lestrade jeffrey born has only got

14:12until seven o'clock tonight but you will release house now look here mason

14:20i've known sherlock holmes for a very long time i know him as a valuable colleague if he says this

14:25marriage bureau is a fake if he says they're blackmailers then undoubtedly they are blackmailers

14:30but there is no case of any kind against the marriage bureau lestrade if one arises i'll

14:35investigate it but i will not jeopardize my position by taking such a step without cause as for mr

14:41holmes he has been formally accused and the number of witnesses more than justify an arrest

14:46all right mason but this is outrageous lestrade didn't you explain everything dr watson

14:57right i'll handle this case myself you dr watson unless you care to come in and help me well i'll

15:04do what i can of course there's only one thing to do he was breaking to oliver's office go through

15:08his private files and everything there must be further evidence of their activities i break him

15:12that's against the law look maybe i could get a search one how soon straight oh the pity this is

15:19sunday certainly not before monday not with mason here yes but look jeffrey jeffrey born only has

15:24until seven o'clock yes but breaking and entering that's a crime have you only idea what the penalty

15:28yes if i remember correctly thank you very much holmes i'd rather not know excuse me

15:45i just had to come and see for myself mr holmes i i couldn't believe it oh well i suppose

16:12i'd better tell george to get it over with well don't be hasty mr bourne dr watson's working on

16:17the case with all his energy at this very moment

16:42uh

16:49uh

16:51uh

16:53uh

16:57uh

17:01uh

17:03uh

17:05uh

17:09Oh, man.

17:39Well, it must be a cylindrical lock with multiple tumblers.

17:47And that's quite a different story.

17:48Each of the tumblers operates at a different height.

17:50It's an absolutely tremendous task, Watson.

17:52Well, what are we going to do?

17:53Well, there's only one thing for it.

17:55Smash the lock, of course.

17:56Why, of course.

17:57Smash the lock.

18:01Miss Trade, if you had blackmail records to keep, and they might be dangerous, where would

18:06you hide them?

18:08Uh, let me see.

18:10Well, blackmail's liable to turn into a running game at any time.

18:13I suppose you'd want them to be portable.

18:15That's good.

18:16That's perfect.

18:17I want you to go after Dr. Watson immediately.

18:19To the office?

18:20I couldn't.

18:21Tell him to ignore the files.

18:23Tell him to take all the paintings down off the walls.

18:24Open the backs, and tear them apart if necessary.

18:27Paintings?

18:28Yes.

18:28Oliver's office has one wall covered with paintings, mostly Luttrek.

18:32And he hadn't even heard of him.

18:33Well, neither have I.

18:34Oh, go on.

18:35Hurry the trade.

18:36Go on.

18:40Hello.

19:04Hello.

19:05Hello.

19:05What are you doing here?

19:06Well, you gave me a start.

19:11I gave you a start.

19:15Look.

19:17Holmes says not to bother anymore about the files.

19:20What?

19:21No, he says try looking behind these pictures.

19:24Looking behind...

19:26Here, you try that.

19:27Nonsense.

19:28Listen.

19:29Listen.

19:30Really, Lestrade.

19:34This is nerve-wracking enough without you beginning to hear things.

19:40Oh, really, Lestrade.

19:41Oh, really, Lestrade.

19:42Oh, really, Lestrade.

19:43This is nerve-wracking enough without you beginning to hear things.

19:47Oh.

19:48Oh.

19:49Oh.

19:50Lestrade.

19:51Look.

19:52Lestrade.

19:53Look.

19:58That's it.

20:03I just spoke to Mr. Holmes.

20:05He said he'd be sure to have something by six o'clock.

20:07I hope so, Geoff.

20:08For your sake.

20:10I hope so.

20:14Your eyes are not so pretty.

20:16Oh, God.

20:17I told you I heard something.

20:18Quiet!

20:19Who's been in the...

20:20Oh.

20:21Good work.

20:23His.

20:24Who's he?

20:25Scotland Yard.

20:26Scotland Yard, eh?

20:27Scotland Yard, eh?

20:28Oh.

20:29Oh.

20:30Good work.

20:31His.

20:32Who's he?

20:33Scotland Yard.

20:34Scotland Yard, eh?

20:35Oh.

20:36Oh.

20:37Oh.

20:38Oh.

20:39Oh.

20:40Oh.

20:41Oh.

20:42Oh.

20:43Oh.

20:44Oh.

20:45Oh.

20:46What are you doing here?

20:47Well, I...

20:48I...

20:49I...

20:50I...

20:51You interfere with the national election for one thing.

20:53We've got to clean up those files.

20:55We'll take care of them later.

20:57Edna.

21:00Listen to what I'm telling you and see if you can do it right.

21:03Stand right here.

21:04And if either of them makes a move, scream.

21:07Can you do that?

21:08Yes, Mr Oliver.

21:09Good.

21:11She's awfully stupid, but she can scream.

21:15All right, Mr Holmes, what's the meaning of this message?

21:32It refers to a blackmail gang operating through a marriage bureau.

21:35I've heard that accusation before, but so far I've seen no evidence to support it.

21:39Inspector Lestrade has evidence?

21:41Inspector Lestrade?

21:42Yes.

21:43He's already set out for the marriage bureau to make a clean arrest of the entire gang.

21:46Well, it isn't Inspector Lestrade's case.

21:48If he had evidence, he should have brought it to me.

21:50Well, I thought of that anyway he went, and according to my calculation, he should have been back by now.

21:54However, I think he may have run into some very serious difficulties.

21:57There are strict regulations regarding such things.

22:00When he gets back here, I'll talk to him.

22:03You can do better than that.

22:05The day can be yours, you know.

22:07What do you mean?

22:08Go to the marriage bureau yourself and take charge.

22:11After all, it is your case, you know.

22:21Order a squad of men to get ready.

22:23Have them meet me at the side entrance in five minutes.

22:26Don't you think she's a pretty girl, Lestrade?

22:36What?

22:41You know, Lestrade, I'm so surprised that any girl who's so lovely and so intelligent could be kicked around by a cad like Oliver.

22:52Do you really think I'm pretty?

22:54Oh, yes, from the very first moment I saw you.

22:57Oh.

22:58Yes, I...

22:59Wouldn't you like to sit down?

23:01You must be tired standing.

23:03Yes.

23:04Yes.

23:09You...

23:11You...

23:12Yes?

23:14You have the most lovely hair.

23:19Really, it's...

23:21I...

23:22I wonder...

23:24My hands are awfully uncomfortable.

23:26If you could be a dearer, ease them a little, could you?

23:33Oh, something amusing?

23:35I know I'm stupid.

23:38But not that stupid.

23:40Oh, are you ready to go, Mr. Oliver?

23:54Well, Inspector Lestrade?

23:57Oh, no.

23:58Not Mason.

24:01Where are you going?

24:02Mr. Bourne before seven.

24:03I've got to get there.

24:05Go out, German.

24:06Untie his hands.

24:10I never thought such a Sunday.

24:11All such a Sunday.

24:41You told Inspector Mason.

24:50I know, Lestrade, but I had to get you out of there somehow.

24:53I was better off as I was.

24:55Well, I considered that, but despite the injury to your pride,

24:59you know it's best that way.

25:01I know nothing of the kind.

25:03It was only a matter of a few moments

25:05before Dr. Watson and I had the situation completely under control.

25:09Well, you must tell me the story.

25:10In the meantime, now that the criminals have been arrested,

25:14please let me out of here.

25:17Oh, I'm terribly sorry,

25:19but this is Inspector Mason's case.

25:22I couldn't possibly interfere with another colleague's affair.

25:26Oh, no.

25:30Oh, Lestrade!

25:32Oh, Lestrade, my old friend!

25:34Lestrade, you old...

25:40Oh, Lestrade, my old friend!
