WEBVTT

02:37.073 --> 02:42.035
When I returned to Baker Street from
a short holiday in the spring of 1891,

02:43.079 --> 02:46.206
I had seen little of Holmes
for some time.

03:00.180 --> 03:02.556
I saw in the papers that
he had been engaged by

03:02.724 --> 03:05.726
the French government upon
a matter of supreme importance

03:06.519 --> 03:10.856
but I could hardly foresee that it
would have so violent a consequence.

03:11.733 --> 03:15.027
It lies with me now
to tell for the first time

03:15.361 --> 03:19.072
what took place between
Mr. Sherlock Holmes

03:19.365 --> 03:24.244
and Professor Moriarity
in that fateful year.

03:25.330 --> 03:28.916
Ah, Mrs. Hudson
has Mr. Holmes returned?

03:29.125 --> 03:33.754
Oh, he has indeed. He came in early.
Must have been before 7:00.

03:34.255 --> 03:36.089
"Morning Mrs. Hudson" he says,

03:36.257 --> 03:38.592
"Have you anything nice
for my breakfast?"

03:39.010 --> 03:41.386
As if he hadn't been away
for four months.

03:42.138 --> 03:44.431
You could have knocked me down
with a feather.

03:46.017 --> 03:47.434
And he's gone
out again I take it?

03:47.936 --> 03:50.062
Yes, yes he had his breakfast
and then

03:50.188 --> 03:53.607
he went out again just after
his visitor left.

03:55.985 --> 03:56.610
Visitor?

03:58.279 --> 03:59.947
An elderly gentleman.

04:01.866 --> 04:03.033
They had words.

04:04.202 --> 04:07.454
I didn't like the look of him,
not at all I didn't.

04:07.997 --> 04:11.458
He had a face like,
like the wrath of God

04:12.210 --> 04:13.293
or should I say the devil.

04:14.295 --> 04:15.128
Indeed.

04:17.548 --> 04:21.969
Should we open a bottle of the best
claret to celebrate Mr. Holmes' return?

04:23.137 --> 04:23.804
Why not?

04:24.639 --> 04:25.430
Very good.

04:26.057 --> 04:26.974
Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.

04:28.977 --> 04:34.481
I learned later that Holmes had survived
three attempts on his life that very day.

04:35.400 --> 04:37.567
But as I waited for him to reappear

04:38.236 --> 04:42.656
Baker Street looked to meas safe
and secure as ever.

05:37.045 --> 05:37.669
Holmes you...

05:40.590 --> 05:41.882
Wait, wait.

05:57.315 --> 05:58.065
What is it?

06:00.193 --> 06:03.570
Air guns,
a rather special air gun in fact.

06:05.740 --> 06:07.240
Watson would you have any objection

06:07.909 --> 06:12.245
to drawing the blinds casually
as if you were alone in this room?

06:35.603 --> 06:37.396
Watson I think you know me well enough

06:37.688 --> 06:40.857
to understand that I am by
no means a nervous man.

06:43.319 --> 06:45.612
But it is stupidity rather
than courage

06:45.988 --> 06:49.116
to refuse to recognize danger
when it is close upon you.

07:03.881 --> 07:05.966
Watson,
might I have a match?

07:11.055 --> 07:12.055
Holmes, you're hurt.

07:12.348 --> 07:14.307
Scratches, nothing,
nothing to signify.

07:21.649 --> 07:23.650
You don't look well Holmes.

07:26.779 --> 07:30.657
Well I have been using myself
rather too freely.

07:31.701 --> 07:33.660
I have been somewhat pressed
but late.

07:34.787 --> 07:35.787
How pressed?

07:36.956 --> 07:39.958
Well as I am unable to leave
this room until after dark

07:40.084 --> 07:42.169
and then most likely on the way
that I came.

07:42.879 --> 07:44.963
We do have some time on our hands.

07:46.757 --> 07:49.426
Also I owe you an explanation
for my unceremonious

07:49.552 --> 07:52.012
departure the last time
that we met.

07:53.181 --> 07:54.806
I'll take some notes if I may?

07:55.141 --> 07:58.685
Oh, by all means.
This case...

07:59.187 --> 08:06.193
This case, it is unique
in the annuals of crime.

08:08.905 --> 08:12.032
You will recall that it was
a cold morning

08:12.241 --> 08:14.534
early in the year when I
last left Baker Street.

08:18.289 --> 08:20.874
I had no idea where I was
going or who my client was.

08:21.125 --> 08:23.210
All I knew was that it was
important and abroad.

08:24.003 --> 08:28.048
My destination was the museum
and the Louve was in Paris

08:28.883 --> 08:32.552
and my client none less
than the French government.

08:40.895 --> 08:46.233
Surely this Louve is near to
the very heart of France.

08:46.400 --> 08:52.572
It was here that the great Musele held
court and here that Napoleon Bonaparte

08:52.740 --> 08:56.076
was married to the Archduchess
Madam Marie Louise of Austria.

08:56.202 --> 09:00.372
Indeed it is a history lesson in stone.

09:01.040 --> 09:04.084
And now this gallery
contains our finest paintings.

09:06.712 --> 09:12.425
Gentlemen, shall we come to the point?
I presume the Mona Lisa has been stolen.

09:17.598 --> 09:20.267
When I see two hooks and the place

09:20.434 --> 09:23.770
where the Mona Lisa used to
hang and then this talk

09:23.938 --> 09:26.231
of... and scandal.

09:30.820 --> 09:34.114
Yes, now I begin to understand
the delicacy of the matter.

09:38.578 --> 09:41.538
The Louve is closed on Mondays
for maintenance.

09:42.415 --> 09:45.292
The fact that the Mona Lisa was not
hanging in her usual place

09:45.418 --> 09:48.295
was no doubt due to the fact that
she was in the photographic studio.

09:49.338 --> 09:52.757
It was only later in the day
that a workman found the frame

09:53.217 --> 09:56.970
in a little store room
under the salon care.

09:57.972 --> 10:00.932
We put the glass over the painting
only a month ago.

10:01.225 --> 10:03.810
We feared an acid attack, there was
such a one in Florence recently.

10:03.978 --> 10:05.103
How very fortunate.

10:05.313 --> 10:05.812
Pardon?

10:06.105 --> 10:08.148
Two good thumb prints.

10:17.658 --> 10:20.327
Many artists come here
to make copies of the paintings.

10:26.834 --> 10:28.835
This one seems well done.

10:29.045 --> 10:31.588
Yes, that artist
is particularly clever

10:31.839 --> 10:33.673
and makes a good living
from his copying.

10:34.592 --> 10:35.925
I should like
to meet him sometime.

10:55.321 --> 10:59.157
To make a bad copy
is very easy but a good one.

11:00.284 --> 11:01.868
It takes years of practice.

11:02.370 --> 11:08.667
For instance De Vinci used
Italian popular wood to paint on.

11:08.876 --> 11:11.044
It is very difficult to find.

11:11.837 --> 11:15.048
To match the original color,
nearly impossible.

11:15.633 --> 11:22.055
It is, uh, full mature, the smooth
blended tones, very subtle and

11:22.723 --> 11:24.557
his brushwork is left-handed.

11:25.851 --> 11:32.691
The crack work, this fine network
of cracks, left, ah.

11:33.734 --> 11:36.986
That is the most difficult
to achieve of all.

11:37.905 --> 11:40.073
And you can achieve it?
How?

11:41.492 --> 11:43.159
That is my secret.

11:45.037 --> 11:48.665
It seems to me that this is something
near to a legitimate forgery.

11:49.125 --> 11:53.086
No, no, no because the copies must
never be the same size as the original.

11:53.462 --> 11:56.089
And, and who would buy one of
my copies as the original

11:56.257 --> 11:58.675
when the real Mona Lisa
is in the Louve.

11:59.176 --> 12:02.345
But if by chance the Mona Lisa
is no longer in the Louve?

12:04.056 --> 12:05.932
But of course
you are joking, Monsieur.

12:13.941 --> 12:16.359
Happily the French police
are well ahead of

12:16.485 --> 12:18.611
the British when it comes to
finger prints.

12:19.488 --> 12:22.949
The great Bantion himself was
kind enough to refer to

12:23.075 --> 12:26.286
my little pamphlet on the subject
as his bible.

12:27.079 --> 12:30.457
As I suspected, our man
had been involved in

12:30.583 --> 12:34.461
petty crime in the past,
a Spaniard named Mendosa.

12:36.297 --> 12:38.465
There, there is your thief.

12:39.300 --> 12:41.134
Not a pleasant specimen.

12:41.969 --> 12:45.430
Mr. Holmes,
France owes you a great debt.

12:45.556 --> 12:50.226
We have not got the man
and more important, the painting.

12:50.394 --> 12:52.437
But he must
be arrested immediately.

12:52.563 --> 12:53.813
He may have already sold it.

12:53.981 --> 12:55.815
No, no, gentlemen
it is my belief that

12:55.983 --> 12:57.942
the painting is still
in Mendosa's keeping.

12:58.068 --> 13:01.321
He is only a pawn
in a much bigger game.

13:03.532 --> 13:05.909
This robbery has been
carefully planned

13:06.035 --> 13:08.661
over months, even years
by a master criminal.

13:08.788 --> 13:12.290
But what professional criminal would
want to own the Mona Lisa?

13:12.416 --> 13:14.667
That is madness.
He can't sell it.

13:15.336 --> 13:18.087
I believe the master criminal is
not interested in the original,

13:20.841 --> 13:26.638
if he can pass off the forgeries as
originals for the same price, Gentlemen.

13:28.182 --> 13:32.435
We must alarm Mendosa,
get him on the move

13:33.312 --> 13:36.439
so he leads us
to the center of the web.

13:36.649 --> 13:37.524
But how?

13:40.194 --> 13:43.321
First we must announce to the world
that the painting has been stolen.

13:43.781 --> 13:46.533
Oh, but that would create
a great scandal both

13:46.700 --> 13:48.034
myself and the director of...

13:48.202 --> 13:50.036
Minister,
please if I may explain.

13:50.746 --> 13:54.457
It would be announced that
owing to the brilliant

13:54.667 --> 13:57.377
and tireless efforts of
yourself and the director,

13:57.962 --> 14:00.713
that the criminal
is about to be arrested.

14:18.440 --> 14:20.066
Mr. Holmes, we must arrest him now.

14:20.568 --> 14:21.067
No.

15:03.485 --> 15:04.027
Now!

15:10.492 --> 15:14.954
Holmes, I understand that the recovery
of the original would make it impossible

15:15.122 --> 15:19.292
for the thieves to sell any copies
however excellent those copies were,

15:19.668 --> 15:21.961
but did you have any clue
to the identity

15:22.087 --> 15:24.714
of the mastermind
behind the whole scheme?

15:25.132 --> 15:30.303
I was satisfied that I had recognized
one of Professor Moriarity's agents.

15:30.971 --> 15:32.138
Moriarity?

15:57.081 --> 16:02.752
Notice the subtle modeling of
the features, beautiful hands,

16:03.420 --> 16:06.506
mood, that smile.

16:10.219 --> 16:13.012
As Walter Payton described her,
the head upon

16:13.138 --> 16:15.682
which all the ends of
the world are common.

16:15.808 --> 16:18.101
The eyelids are a little weary.

16:18.477 --> 16:21.604
No one else has ever had the genius
to paint this masterpiece

16:22.022 --> 16:23.147
except De Vinci.

16:23.899 --> 16:26.776
But if you look at the paint work sir.

16:27.319 --> 16:31.364
Leonard's signature at large,
the brush work,

16:32.950 --> 16:35.201
the bloom, the technique.

16:37.538 --> 16:38.871
Will you excuse me?

16:44.878 --> 16:50.216
I would say without hesitation that the
general opinion of the art world is

16:50.592 --> 16:54.053
that this is the greatest portrait
ever painted.

17:18.662 --> 17:20.913
I very much regret to
have to tell you sir

17:23.000 --> 17:25.752
that this painting is
no longer for sale.

17:26.879 --> 17:28.421
I don't understand Professor.

17:29.089 --> 17:33.593
I mean, the price maybe?
Well now look, I'll reconsider.

17:34.762 --> 17:38.097
I'll give you a cool four million
and how's that?

17:38.682 --> 17:40.099
I'm sorry Mr. Walker.

17:41.477 --> 17:44.562
The painting is no longer for sale.

17:46.774 --> 17:49.358
Hey, what you guys up to?

17:49.693 --> 17:53.863
Take your hands off me you nick!
Thanks for nothing.

17:59.953 --> 18:02.288
That wretched Holmes
has recovered the original.

18:03.916 --> 18:05.750
These are worthless.

18:07.419 --> 18:09.962
Destroy them, burn them.

18:14.134 --> 18:17.428
Do it yourself
and let no one else see you.

18:17.805 --> 18:19.305
Yes, Professor Moriarity.

18:57.386 --> 18:59.178
I must congratulate you, Holmes.

18:59.763 --> 19:02.181
Such an honor
and so well deserved.

19:02.349 --> 19:05.101
There was no great problem.
The case practically solved itself.

19:08.438 --> 19:10.523
I hear you had a visitor
this morning.

19:13.694 --> 19:17.697
I had not been back in Baker Street
more than half an hour when...

19:18.198 --> 19:20.700
But you cannot go up there sir!

19:43.265 --> 19:48.978
You have less frontal development
than I should have expected.

19:49.855 --> 19:53.232
It's a dangerous habit,
a finger loaded firearms

19:53.400 --> 19:54.901
in the pocket of
one's dressing gown.

20:20.928 --> 20:22.428
You evidentially don't know me.

20:23.055 --> 20:25.181
On the contrary, I think
it's fairly evident that I do.

20:27.935 --> 20:31.938
I can spare you five minutes
if you have anything to say.

20:34.650 --> 20:37.693
All that I have to say
has already crossed your mind.

20:40.030 --> 20:42.406
And possibly my answer
has already crossed yours.

20:42.699 --> 20:44.116
You stand fast?

20:44.451 --> 20:45.409
Absolutely.

21:00.092 --> 21:02.635
You frustrated me in the affair
of the French gold.

21:05.305 --> 21:07.598
So it was you behind
the Red Headed League.

21:08.976 --> 21:11.435
A very ingenious
and welcome tried idea.

21:12.854 --> 21:15.481
High praise from you.

21:19.278 --> 21:21.654
You crossed my path
first on the 4th of January.

21:22.155 --> 21:25.491
By the middle of February I was
seriously inconvenienced by you

21:25.659 --> 21:29.495
and at the end of March I was
absolutely hampered in my plans.

21:29.663 --> 21:31.956
And now with this last business
in France

21:32.082 --> 21:35.251
you have placed me in such a position
by your continual persecution

21:35.836 --> 21:39.130
that I am in positive danger
of losing my liberty.

21:43.593 --> 21:47.638
The situation is becoming
an impossible one.

21:49.766 --> 21:51.517
Have you any suggestion to make?

21:54.479 --> 21:57.315
You must drop it Mr. Holmes.

21:58.442 --> 21:59.859
You really must you know.

22:01.111 --> 22:02.528
And what if I refuse?

22:04.156 --> 22:05.948
I'm quite sure that a man
of your intelligence

22:06.074 --> 22:10.202
will see that there can be
but one outcome to this affair.

22:10.537 --> 22:13.039
It is necessary
that you should withdraw.

22:13.623 --> 22:18.169
You have worked things in such a fashion
that we have only one resource left.

22:20.130 --> 22:22.548
It has been an intellectual treat
to me to see

22:22.716 --> 22:24.967
the way in which you grappled
with this matter.

22:26.178 --> 22:30.181
But I say unaffectedly that
it would be a grief to me

22:30.307 --> 22:33.893
to be forced to take an
extreme measure.

22:36.063 --> 22:37.396
Oh, you smile sir.

22:39.858 --> 22:41.859
But it really would I do assure you.

22:42.944 --> 22:44.487
Danger is part of my trade.

22:46.239 --> 22:50.701
This is not danger.
It is inevitable destruction.

22:51.453 --> 22:53.746
You stand in the way not merely
of an individual

22:53.914 --> 22:56.540
but of a mighty organization,
the full extent of which

22:56.666 --> 23:01.253
even you with all your cleverness
have been unable to realize.

23:01.963 --> 23:06.842
You must stand clear Mr. Holmes
or be trouble under foot.

23:08.762 --> 23:10.763
You know I'm afraid that
in the pleasure

23:10.931 --> 23:13.391
of this conversation
I am neglecting business

23:13.517 --> 23:17.269
of importance
which awaits me elsewhere.

23:22.901 --> 23:27.238
Well, well, it seems a pity

23:29.324 --> 23:30.616
but I've done what I could.

23:45.173 --> 23:48.801
This is a duel
between you and me Mr. Holmes.

23:50.011 --> 23:53.472
You hope to place me in the dark.

23:53.932 --> 23:55.224
You hope to beat me.

23:56.810 --> 24:01.897
If you are clever enough to bring
destruction on me, rest assured

24:02.816 --> 24:06.444
I shall do as much for you.

24:14.786 --> 24:20.332
You have paid me several
compliments, Mr. Moriarity.

24:22.252 --> 24:25.337
Let me pay you one in return
when I say that if

24:25.464 --> 24:28.841
I were assured of
the former eventuality

24:29.009 --> 24:32.094
I would,
in the interests of the public,

24:32.679 --> 24:35.306
cheerfully accept the later.

24:38.226 --> 24:42.021
I can promise you the one
but not the other.

25:21.144 --> 25:24.021
He is the Napoleon of crime Watson.

25:24.731 --> 25:28.734
For years I have endeavored to break
through the veil which shrouded him

25:30.070 --> 25:35.157
and at last
I have seized a thread

25:36.076 --> 25:38.911
and followed it to Moriarity himself.

25:42.082 --> 25:43.916
And now I'm ready to close on him.

25:45.585 --> 25:47.586
If he doesn't close upon you first.

25:54.719 --> 26:00.266
On Monday next, matters will be ripe

26:01.893 --> 26:05.521
but the Professor and all
the principal members of his gang

26:05.647 --> 26:07.273
will be in the hands of the police.

26:10.485 --> 26:13.946
Then will come the greatest
criminal trial of the century,

26:14.614 --> 26:18.450
the clearing up of over 40 mysteries
and the room full of them.

26:21.746 --> 26:26.709
I cannot do better than to get away
for the few remaining days.

26:26.835 --> 26:27.960
It would give me great pleasure
Watson,

26:28.128 --> 26:29.920
if you would come onto
the continent with me.

26:31.464 --> 26:34.925
The continent?
I'd be delighted Holmes, but where?

26:35.635 --> 26:37.553
Anywhere.
It's all the same to me.

26:38.096 --> 26:41.307
Yes, but won't we have to dispose of
Professor Moriarity first?

26:42.642 --> 26:45.644
It seems to me that we're
under siege in this very room.

26:48.481 --> 26:51.942
And that reminds me
I must be on my way.

26:52.319 --> 26:53.444
Won't you stay the night?

26:54.070 --> 26:55.821
No, it's too dangerous for you
if I stay here.

27:05.790 --> 27:09.168
I will leave the way I came and find
lodgings with my brother Mycroft.

27:09.336 --> 27:10.669
We start tomorrow morning.

27:10.837 --> 27:11.670
Tomorrow morning?

27:12.547 --> 27:14.006
Oh, yes,
it is most necessary.

27:15.508 --> 27:19.678
Now here are your instructions and
I beg of you to follow them to the letter.

27:20.347 --> 27:22.973
We are now playing a double-handed
game with me, Watson

27:23.433 --> 27:26.518
against the most powerful syndicate
of criminals in Europe.

27:27.520 --> 27:29.772
You will dispatch whatever luggage you
intend to take

27:29.898 --> 27:33.025
by a trusted messenger unaddressed
at the Victoria Station tonight.

27:33.276 --> 27:36.362
In the morning you will send
Mrs. Hudson for a handsome cab,

27:39.157 --> 27:42.868
desiring her not to take the first
or second which may present itself.

27:46.373 --> 27:49.458
You will drive to the Strand
end of La Famules,

27:49.751 --> 27:51.543
handing the address to the cabman

27:51.920 --> 27:54.213
but with a request that
he will not throw it away.

28:15.276 --> 28:18.696
Have your fare ready and the instant
that your cab stops

28:18.988 --> 28:21.323
move speedily through the muse

28:22.033 --> 28:26.662
and time yourself to reach the other
end at exactly a quarter past 9:00

28:27.580 --> 28:30.416
where you will find
a small broom waiting

28:30.875 --> 28:34.086
close to the curb driven by
a fellow with a heavy black coat.

28:34.379 --> 28:38.090
Tipped at the collar with red.
Into this you will stay

28:38.925 --> 28:42.553
and you will reach Victoria in time
for the continental express.

28:58.528 --> 29:00.404
Excuse me sir,
I wonder if you speak Italian.

29:00.530 --> 29:01.447
No, I'm afraid not. I'm looking for...

29:01.614 --> 29:03.282
the gentleman who reserved
this compartment.

29:03.450 --> 29:05.951
Not a sign of him sir. If you're
traveling you better get aboard.

29:50.663 --> 29:52.831
My dear Watson you haven't even
condescended to

29:52.957 --> 29:54.291
say good morning to me.

30:00.840 --> 30:04.134
Good heavens Holmes,
how you startled me.

30:05.011 --> 30:08.514
It is still necessary
to take every precaution.

30:31.329 --> 30:32.871
I did rather fine, Watson.

31:00.066 --> 31:02.526
I see that this express runs
in connection with the boat

31:03.486 --> 31:06.029
so I think we've shaken off
Moriarity very effectively.

31:08.449 --> 31:09.575
Well what will he do then?

31:10.243 --> 31:13.996
What I should do.
Engage a special train.

31:14.914 --> 31:16.248
But he'll arrive too late.

31:17.083 --> 31:19.501
You'll observe from your Bradshaw
that this train

31:19.627 --> 31:21.753
stops at Canterbury and
again at the boat.

31:22.297 --> 31:23.881
Moriarity will catch us there.

31:26.426 --> 31:29.177
Good heavens anybody would think
that we were the criminals.

31:29.762 --> 31:31.722
Let's arrest him
as soon as he arrives.

31:32.015 --> 31:37.936
No, that would ruin everything. If we
should catch the big fish then the smaller

31:38.062 --> 31:42.608
would dart right and left out of the net.
No, no, and the rest is invisible.

31:44.444 --> 31:45.277
Well what then?

31:49.282 --> 31:51.450
We shall get ours at Canterbury.

32:10.303 --> 32:11.720
But Holmes our luggage.

32:13.264 --> 32:15.390
We must give Moriarity
something to follow.

32:16.559 --> 32:17.476
What will we do?

32:19.646 --> 32:21.146
We shall go across country.

32:31.366 --> 32:34.576
Here we are Holmes,
Bradshaw shouldn't let you down.

32:35.578 --> 32:40.332
From Ashford Junction we can take
a 1:00 slow train to Hastings,

32:41.084 --> 32:45.253
then onto the dear old London
Brighton and South Coast line,

32:46.130 --> 32:51.843
Bax Hill on to Lewis non-stop, then
onto New Haven, evening boat to Vienna.

32:52.845 --> 32:54.471
I think we've got time
for an early lunch.

33:01.896 --> 33:02.938
So soon.

33:31.968 --> 33:35.220
There are limits you see
to even our friend's intelligence.

33:38.141 --> 33:43.478
And now Watson, we shall treat ourselves
for a couple of carpet bags,

33:43.730 --> 33:46.898
encourage the manufacturers,
the countries through which we travel

33:47.233 --> 33:50.902
and make our way at leisure
into Switzerland

33:51.738 --> 33:55.490
via Brussels, Luxemberg...

33:57.452 --> 34:00.078
It fell out as Sherlock Holmes
had predicted.

34:00.288 --> 34:02.581
We stayed two nights in Brussels,

34:03.374 --> 34:06.251
then began to make
our leisurely way southeast.

34:07.045 --> 34:10.088
For a charming week we
progressed towards the Alps.

34:37.950 --> 34:38.784
What do you think?

34:40.828 --> 34:43.121
A common enough occurrence
in the mountains.

35:19.992 --> 35:22.160
Nothing like drinking the wine
where it's grown.

35:34.340 --> 35:39.427
All gang safely secured, only Moriarity
escaped the net, signed Mycroft.

35:42.348 --> 35:43.431
He's given them the slip.

35:46.519 --> 35:51.356
I think it would be better if you
were to return to England Watson.

35:54.443 --> 35:54.985
Why?

35:56.028 --> 35:58.530
You will find me
a very dangerous companion now.

36:00.825 --> 36:03.368
Moriarity will devote
all his energies

36:04.537 --> 36:07.706
to taking his revenge upon me
and if I have a companion...

36:08.166 --> 36:09.040
Would you be rid of me?

36:10.251 --> 36:13.712
No, except for the reasons
I've given.

36:15.673 --> 36:18.383
We've been in tight places
before together.

36:20.553 --> 36:21.887
Never as tight as this one.

36:23.306 --> 36:25.056
I'm not leaving you Holmes,

36:26.475 --> 36:28.059
not unless you order me to go.

36:39.572 --> 36:40.989
I've never been to
Switzerland before

36:41.115 --> 36:44.034
but the beauty of the landscape
reminded me irresistibly

36:44.160 --> 36:46.703
of the northwest
frontier provinces of India.

36:47.955 --> 36:51.917
But in spite of the lovely scenery
all around us,

36:52.043 --> 36:54.586
it was clear to me that never
for one instant

36:54.712 --> 36:58.048
did Sherlock Holmes forget
the shadow that lay across him.

37:56.274 --> 37:59.484
I could tell by his sharp
scrutiny of every face

37:59.652 --> 38:02.487
that he was well convinced
that go where we would

38:03.030 --> 38:07.617
we would not be clear of the danger
that was dogging our footsteps.

38:55.541 --> 38:56.124
What was that?

39:20.316 --> 39:21.066
See anything?

39:22.068 --> 39:23.234
No, nothing

39:24.236 --> 39:25.737
It's time we went on our way.

39:26.822 --> 39:29.199
Hans, we're on our way.

39:42.963 --> 39:46.925
At last we reached the heart
of the burnice overland

39:47.218 --> 39:49.219
and came to the village
of Mirengland

39:49.470 --> 39:51.596
where we put up
at the 'Englischer Hof'

39:52.098 --> 39:54.599
then kept by Peter Steiler the Elder.

40:09.115 --> 40:10.615
Uh, Steiler?

41:24.023 --> 41:29.194
The walk over to the hills
to Rosenlawry is very beautiful.

41:29.361 --> 41:33.281
You can stay the night
there and come back the next day

41:33.657 --> 41:37.869
but you must not on any account
miss the falls

41:38.037 --> 41:42.207
of Reichenbach which is only
a small detour.

41:42.374 --> 41:44.209
Uh, there it is.

42:16.867 --> 42:19.911
It is indeed a fearful place.

42:21.080 --> 42:24.415
The torrent,
swollen by the melting glacier.

42:25.334 --> 42:27.752
Plunges into a tremendous abyss

42:28.837 --> 42:33.174
in which the spray rose up
like the smoke from a burning house.

42:54.238 --> 43:04.122
Herr, Dr. Watson.

43:04.707 --> 43:05.373
Yes?

43:06.584 --> 43:10.295
Herr Steiler told me to give
you this. It is very urgent.

43:13.465 --> 43:15.758
It seems an English woman
was taken to the hotel

43:15.843 --> 43:19.095
after we left on her way
to friends in Lucerne.

43:19.263 --> 43:20.471
She's had a great hemorrhage.

43:21.140 --> 43:22.307
Tuberculoses.

43:22.975 --> 43:23.933
Oh, no doubt.

43:25.477 --> 43:26.811
It appears she's dying.

43:28.147 --> 43:30.982
An English doctor
would be a great consolation.

43:31.150 --> 43:32.567
I'm afraid
I must go back Holmes.

43:32.693 --> 43:33.735
Of course.

43:34.278 --> 43:37.238
Steiler suggests that this lad

43:37.364 --> 43:41.159
shows you the way to Rosenlawy
and I'll join you there later.

43:41.285 --> 43:42.160
A good plan.

44:10.731 --> 44:11.356
Hey!

44:58.153 --> 44:59.737
I trust she's no worse.

45:10.416 --> 45:11.416
You didn't write this?

45:15.671 --> 45:18.756
There is no sick
English woman at the hotel?

45:19.133 --> 45:22.760
No, but it has the hotel mark.

45:23.804 --> 45:26.848
Of course, there was
a tall old Englishman

45:26.974 --> 45:29.600
who came here after
you had gone. He said...

46:44.301 --> 46:49.472
It was the sight of the Alpine stalk
that turned me cold and sick.

46:50.599 --> 46:52.683
He had not gone to Rosenlawy.

46:54.728 --> 46:57.021
I stood for a minute or
two to collect myself

46:57.189 --> 47:01.192
for I was dazed
with the horror of the thing.

47:02.986 --> 47:07.365
And then I began to think of
Holmes' own methods

47:08.158 --> 47:09.826
and to try to practice them.

47:15.040 --> 47:21.879
Holmes,

47:26.343 --> 47:28.219
Holmes.

48:02.004 --> 48:07.717
My Dear Watson, I write these few lines
through the courtesy of Mr. Moriarity

48:08.176 --> 48:10.761
who awaits my convenience
for the final discussion

48:10.929 --> 48:13.347
of those questions
which lie between us.

48:14.266 --> 48:17.351
I'm pleased to think that I shall
be able to free society

48:17.477 --> 48:19.770
from any further affects
of his presence.

48:20.606 --> 48:25.735
Though I fear that it is at a cost
which will give pain to my friends

48:26.612 --> 48:28.404
and especially
my dear Watson,

48:30.782 --> 48:31.365
to you.

48:34.453 --> 48:39.624
As you know, my career had
in any case reached a crisis.

48:40.667 --> 48:45.129
And no possible conclusion to it could
be more congenial to me than this.

48:46.715 --> 48:49.634
Indeed if I may make a full
confession to you,

48:50.469 --> 48:54.138
I was convinced that the letter...
was a hoax.

48:56.016 --> 48:59.477
I made every disposition of my property
before leaving England

48:59.811 --> 49:01.979
and handed it to my brother Mycroft.

49:03.106 --> 49:05.566
Good bye and good luck

49:06.610 --> 49:08.819
and believe me
to be my dear fellow,

49:09.571 --> 49:12.573
very sincerely yours,
Sherlock Holmes.

49:23.210 --> 49:25.836
In this situation
I have little doubt

49:26.004 --> 49:28.673
that a personal contest
between the two men

49:28.799 --> 49:31.926
ended as it could hardly
fail to end.

51:24.915 --> 51:31.378
It's with a heavy heart
that I take up my pen

51:31.505 --> 51:36.592
to write these last words
in which I shall ever record

51:38.011 --> 51:42.973
singular gifts by which my friend
Mr. Sherlock Holmes was distinguished.
