WEBVTT 00:46.046 --> 00:46.879 Watson, 00:48.757 --> 00:51.258 what is the medical term for an obsession? 00:55.930 --> 00:57.806 I feel, you see, 01:00.351 --> 01:03.812 that I must lay to rest a ghost 01:05.190 --> 01:07.441 which has haunted me for some time. 01:16.201 --> 01:20.037 I shall be away for several weeks in the highlands. 01:21.289 --> 01:23.123 Meanwhile your patients 01:23.291 --> 01:26.752 might be encouraged by seeing you more often in your consulting room. 01:28.296 --> 01:29.588 What about Baker street? 01:30.048 --> 01:33.801 Poste Restante, Diogenes Club, and the regulars, you know my methods. 01:36.387 --> 01:37.930 Now I shall be watching you... 01:41.309 --> 01:42.643 with my third eye. 02:20.473 --> 02:22.141 One hundred and ten carats, sir. 02:23.685 --> 02:27.396 Bigger than the Hope diamond. Bigger even than the Koh-l-Noor. 02:28.189 --> 02:30.399 No wonder the froggies are anxious to get it back. 02:32.193 --> 02:33.861 Closing in ten minutes, sir. 03:11.691 --> 03:13.066 This is my sister. 03:13.193 --> 03:14.109 Agnes. 03:14.611 --> 03:17.779 Do you not perceive a strong family resemblance between us? 03:17.906 --> 03:19.156 It's the bone structure. 03:19.282 --> 03:22.701 Peculiar to the Garrideb, be they male or female, don't you know. 03:22.827 --> 03:24.077 And this is Emily. 03:24.245 --> 03:27.164 We're descended from good Anglo-Saxon stock. 03:27.290 --> 03:30.542 Ancient blood courses through our veins. 03:30.793 --> 03:34.254 I'm relieved to hear it. Do please, please sit down. 03:34.380 --> 03:36.757 Did you say, Garrideb? 03:37.759 --> 03:39.176 Doctor, I'm not in the habit of... 03:39.302 --> 03:41.428 She's not in the habit of repeating herself. 03:41.554 --> 03:43.680 I've just said that, Agnes dear. 03:43.890 --> 03:46.266 My sister is a little hard of hearing, don't you know. 03:46.559 --> 03:49.102 One of my University Lecturers was called Garrideb. 03:50.230 --> 03:52.564 He remembers you, Doctor Watson. 03:52.690 --> 03:53.565 You're related? 03:53.733 --> 03:55.400 He is our brother, Nathan, 03:55.860 --> 03:58.487 and the only reason for our presence here today. 04:00.365 --> 04:01.073 He's ill? 04:01.282 --> 04:02.282 Not inordinately. 04:02.450 --> 04:03.033 No. 04:04.285 --> 04:06.578 Are either of you ladies ill? 04:07.080 --> 04:08.747 The very thought. 04:08.873 --> 04:13.752 My sister and I have followed a strict regime of clean, healthy living, 04:13.878 --> 04:15.462 since we were young girls. 04:15.630 --> 04:17.297 My father wouldn't allow it. 04:17.423 --> 04:20.425 And we insist that all our gentlemen do the same. 04:21.803 --> 04:22.719 Your gentlemen? 04:22.929 --> 04:25.013 Our gentlemen tenants, Doctor Watson. 04:26.474 --> 04:29.643 Oh, I see. You em, you rent rooms. 04:29.811 --> 04:32.354 Not to anybody, you understand. 04:32.480 --> 04:37.276 My sister and I are most particular about who we have under our roof. 04:37.485 --> 04:38.485 Isn't that so, Emily? 04:38.611 --> 04:40.320 I don't quite follow. If, 04:41.489 --> 04:45.659 if no one is ill, why have you come to see me? 04:45.827 --> 04:48.287 I'd have thought that was obvious, Doctor. 04:48.788 --> 04:51.999 We have a case for Mr. Sherlock Holmes. 05:07.849 --> 05:09.850 Mycroft, wake up. 05:11.144 --> 05:12.644 Cantlemere. 05:14.397 --> 05:17.274 We don't often see you here at the Diogenes. 05:17.692 --> 05:20.193 Have you spoken to your brother as requested? 05:20.361 --> 05:21.903 Alas, no. 05:22.113 --> 05:26.033 Well I don't need to remind you, from whence the request came. 05:26.951 --> 05:30.787 It is the Prime Minister's personal wish that your brother 05:31.331 --> 05:36.376 should employ his detective skills to find the Mazarin Diamond 05:36.544 --> 05:39.212 and return it to Whitehall without delay. 05:39.380 --> 05:43.216 I'm rather afraid that Sherlock is unavailable at the present time. 05:43.384 --> 05:44.426 Unavailable. 05:45.345 --> 05:49.556 Inconvenient, I know. But he's engaged on another case up in the highlands. 05:49.682 --> 05:51.224 Doesn't expect to be back for about a week. 05:51.392 --> 05:52.934 Not good enough, Mycroft. 05:53.311 --> 05:56.938 You really must try and keep your brother on a shorter leash. 05:58.232 --> 06:00.650 Do you know the history of the mazarin diamond? 06:01.694 --> 06:02.903 Yes of course I do. 06:03.613 --> 06:07.032 It was named after Cardinal Jules Mazarin, a Chief Minister 06:07.408 --> 06:08.742 during the reign of Louis the Fourteenth. 06:08.868 --> 06:10.702 It belongs now to Her Majesty the Queen. 06:10.870 --> 06:14.748 Yes, but it is soon to be returned to France, where it belongs 06:14.916 --> 06:17.876 as a goodwill gesture on the part of the British people. 06:18.002 --> 06:20.420 And I think you'll agree that such a gesture 06:20.546 --> 06:24.508 could only help to cement the relationship between our two countries. 06:25.051 --> 06:29.596 To go back on our word now could spell diplomatic disaster. 06:29.722 --> 06:34.559 The Prime Minister has asked that your brother investigates this case 06:34.685 --> 06:38.480 and Mr. Holmes has never, ever let him down. 06:38.940 --> 06:40.065 My dear Horatio, 06:40.608 --> 06:45.362 if Sherlock were here I'm sure he'd be more than delighted to assist. 06:46.239 --> 06:50.367 At least, I think he would, but he's not here, you see, so he can't. 06:52.161 --> 06:56.123 But I could. Illuminate me. 07:04.048 --> 07:05.966 He came to the house yesterday. 07:06.300 --> 07:07.175 Who did? 07:07.969 --> 07:09.136 The American. 07:10.054 --> 07:13.306 An American came to your house to visit your brother 07:13.433 --> 07:15.851 and offered him a large sum of money. 07:16.102 --> 07:20.439 Five million dollars. 07:20.606 --> 07:24.317 Fifteen million dollars to be divided between three people. 07:24.444 --> 07:26.611 With the same name, Garrideb. 07:26.737 --> 07:29.990 But only male Garrideb can share the fortune. 07:30.116 --> 07:30.824 Like my brother. 07:30.950 --> 07:31.950 And the American. 07:32.493 --> 07:35.162 But it's as plain as a pikestaff, Doctor. 07:43.087 --> 07:45.213 He's not a real Garrideb at all. 07:45.339 --> 07:47.966 He says he is, but we know otherwise, don't we, Emily? 07:48.134 --> 07:49.634 You do? How? 07:50.803 --> 07:51.845 Bone structure. 07:51.971 --> 07:53.597 He simply doesn't have it. 07:54.599 --> 07:57.601 Of course, bone structure. 07:57.852 --> 08:00.103 Whoever he is the man's an absolute cad. 08:00.688 --> 08:02.522 Mycroft, think of the country. 08:03.149 --> 08:06.026 Imagine if the Mazarin diamond was never found. 08:06.360 --> 08:10.780 Or turns up again in a variety of difference shapes. 08:12.241 --> 08:14.367 Now, ladies if you'll excuse me, 08:14.911 --> 08:17.204 there are patients waiting to be seen. 08:17.747 --> 08:19.456 Here is our card, Doctor. 08:19.832 --> 08:24.127 You will speak on our behalf won't you, Doctor, please? 08:24.253 --> 08:25.462 I'll do what I can. 08:25.755 --> 08:27.881 Five million dollars. 08:29.467 --> 08:31.051 Thank you for listening, Doctor. 08:32.220 --> 08:33.512 Come along, Agnes. 08:36.140 --> 08:38.350 He's not as intelligent as I thought he'd be. 08:38.476 --> 08:41.561 The name Garrideb will almost certainly mean nothing to you, 08:42.230 --> 08:46.274 but I feel I should relay the particulars of the most extraordinary tale. 08:51.572 --> 08:55.325 How long had the diamond been exhibited before its theft? 08:56.285 --> 08:57.577 Nearly ten years. 08:57.912 --> 08:59.704 Inside the same glass case? 08:59.830 --> 09:01.081 Yes, as far as we know. 09:02.875 --> 09:07.087 Has this lock ever been changed? 09:07.213 --> 09:09.839 The whole gate would have to be replaced, Mr. Holmes. 09:10.591 --> 09:12.092 Nothing was left to chance. 09:13.135 --> 09:16.846 Inspector, whoever took the diamond, was able to walk in here 09:16.973 --> 09:18.932 without any apparent difficulty. 09:19.100 --> 09:23.562 Since there are no marks or scratches on the lock to suggest that it was forced, 09:23.688 --> 09:27.274 we may safely conclude the thief had a key. 09:35.324 --> 09:37.784 Once inside, it would have been the work of a moment 09:37.952 --> 09:40.370 to smash the case and remove the stone. 09:55.386 --> 09:58.597 I gather that you were unconscious at the time of the theft. Is that correct? 09:58.723 --> 09:59.764 That's right, sir. 10:01.642 --> 10:03.685 I was just seeing out the last of the public, and 10:03.811 --> 10:06.730 getting ready to lock up for the night when he came at me. 10:06.856 --> 10:07.814 You saw him? 10:08.608 --> 10:09.691 No, sir. 10:10.109 --> 10:12.777 Before I could turn around, he clobbered me and I went down. 10:12.903 --> 10:16.573 You seem confident that your attacker was a male who acted alone. 10:16.907 --> 10:19.743 I suppose so, sir. But I couldn't swear to it. 10:20.244 --> 10:23.997 As far as I knew, the Count had gone and the museum was empty. 10:25.416 --> 10:26.333 The Count? 10:27.335 --> 10:29.461 The Count Sylvius, was the last member of the public 10:29.587 --> 10:31.296 to leave the building before the attack happened. 10:33.341 --> 10:36.843 Count Negretto Sylvius. 10:37.136 --> 10:39.846 We've spoken to him. He remembers seeing nothing untoward. 10:40.097 --> 10:40.680 He would. 10:40.848 --> 10:44.017 The Commissioner himself has asked me not to pursue that line of enquiry. 10:45.436 --> 10:46.478 The Count was lucky sir. 10:47.188 --> 10:50.940 If he'd stayed any longer he might have got clobbered as well. 11:20.721 --> 11:21.888 Here he is Nathan. 11:22.515 --> 11:25.558 Oh dear, oh, he hasn't has he? 11:25.685 --> 11:27.018 Yes, he has. 11:27.144 --> 11:29.729 Ah, young er, er, Watkinson. 11:29.897 --> 11:31.731 Nice to see you again after all these years. 11:32.400 --> 11:33.817 Pay no regard, Doctor. 11:34.568 --> 11:37.070 Sit you down, sit you down, young Watkins. 11:40.908 --> 11:44.703 A species of the family, Vespertilionidae. 11:45.162 --> 11:47.414 Found them in a subterranean cavern 11:47.581 --> 11:51.251 in my travels in Sofala in South East Africa, in my younger days. 11:52.044 --> 11:55.880 I don't get out much now, of course. Hands, and legs aren't what they were. 11:56.006 --> 12:00.051 Nathan, Doctor Watson is acting for Mr. Sherlock Holmes. 12:00.261 --> 12:04.222 He has come to talk about the other Mr. Garrideb, not your hands and legs. 12:04.390 --> 12:05.598 Oh, here it is. 12:06.767 --> 12:08.852 Tell him what the American has told us. 12:08.978 --> 12:11.396 Our visitor started by explaining 12:11.522 --> 12:15.567 that anyone from Kansas in the United States of America 12:15.943 --> 12:21.948 would recognise the name Alexander Hamilton Garrideb. 12:22.241 --> 12:24.159 He had no kith nor kin. 12:25.161 --> 12:27.203 But he took a kind of pride in the queerness of the name, 12:27.329 --> 12:28.621 and that's what brought us together. 12:29.790 --> 12:31.791 One day I had a visit from the old man, 12:32.835 --> 12:36.421 he was tickled to death to find someone else with the same name and dead set 12:36.922 --> 12:39.507 on finding out if there were any more Garrideb in the world. 12:40.092 --> 12:42.051 So, he asked me to find another. 12:43.304 --> 12:45.472 I said I was a busy man and 12:46.640 --> 12:50.226 couldn't spend my life hiking round the world in search of other Garrideb. 12:51.771 --> 12:54.314 But when he died about a year later, 12:55.232 --> 12:59.235 he left behind the queerest will ever filed in the State of Kansas. 12:59.987 --> 13:04.616 His property was divided into three parts, of which I was to have one, 13:05.451 --> 13:10.872 on condition that I found two Garrideb who would share the remainder. 13:11.165 --> 13:14.334 Five million dollars each if it's a cent. 13:18.506 --> 13:23.218 But we can't lay a finger on it until we all three stand in a row. 13:23.511 --> 13:25.094 I don't believe a word of it. 13:25.221 --> 13:29.140 Sir, there isn't one in the whole of the United States. 13:30.017 --> 13:33.686 I went through it with a fine toothed comb and never a Garrideb could I catch. 13:34.897 --> 13:37.524 Then, I decided to try the old country, 13:38.400 --> 13:43.863 and sure enough, there was your name in the London Telephone Directory. 13:46.283 --> 13:48.159 Three adult men, sir. 13:49.954 --> 13:54.332 That's what it specified in Alexander Hamilton Garrideb' will. 13:55.960 --> 13:58.002 Two down. One to go. 13:59.547 --> 14:03.174 Five million dollars. Hallelujah. 14:04.885 --> 14:08.638 Unparalleled good fortune. 14:09.974 --> 14:12.350 Female relatives are disqualified. 14:13.185 --> 14:15.937 Surely, there must be some other Garrideb in the world. 14:16.564 --> 14:17.438 What do you think? 14:17.940 --> 14:20.149 Do you believe this man's story, Mr. Garrideb? 14:20.568 --> 14:23.069 Without a doubt. He has an honest face. 14:23.821 --> 14:25.488 The man's a rogue. 14:25.614 --> 14:27.532 Your sisters think otherwise. 14:27.867 --> 14:31.411 Emily and Agnes are inclined to read too much romantic fiction. 14:31.662 --> 14:34.163 Inclined to find shadows where there should only be light. 14:34.290 --> 14:34.998 Nonsense. 14:35.124 --> 14:37.125 Thank you for explaining, Mr. Garrideb. 14:37.543 --> 14:39.711 It's been a great pleasure to see you again, sir. 14:41.380 --> 14:44.674 Nathan, you silly old... 14:45.926 --> 14:48.261 Well, you'll just have to draw your own conclusion. 14:48.387 --> 14:51.764 If, as seems probable, the American Garrideb is a rogue, 14:51.932 --> 14:54.601 then you may already have seen the last of him. But please, 14:54.810 --> 14:56.603 please let me know if there are any further developments. 14:56.729 --> 14:58.313 Oh, we shall. 14:59.690 --> 15:00.815 Goodbye, sir. 15:01.108 --> 15:03.610 Good day to you then. Young Watkins. 15:04.570 --> 15:07.155 Poppycock. Balderdash. 15:08.073 --> 15:10.617 Just think what I could do with five million dollars. 15:11.619 --> 15:14.621 Why, I have the nucleus of a national collection. 15:15.456 --> 15:18.291 I shall be the Hans Sloane of my age. 15:56.622 --> 16:00.124 Mycroft Holmes. Well, well... 16:01.585 --> 16:03.836 First the police, and now you. 16:04.922 --> 16:07.590 You come to find out where I'm hiding the Mazarin Stone? 16:07.716 --> 16:09.592 I didn't expect a confession, Count. 16:11.470 --> 16:14.013 Then you won't be disappointed. 16:15.808 --> 16:17.850 Please, if you wish. 16:18.519 --> 16:21.062 Be careful. It has a hair trigger. 16:29.738 --> 16:34.033 They were a gift from the Princess of Wales. 16:34.576 --> 16:38.579 Such balance, such workmanship. 16:38.956 --> 16:43.001 A beautiful thing fits strangely in the wrong hand. 16:44.545 --> 16:49.841 Yes, she is extraordinarily beautiful. 16:52.011 --> 16:52.677 She? 16:53.429 --> 16:54.387 The diamond. 16:56.223 --> 16:59.183 I must say I'm surprised no one has been tempted to 16:59.309 --> 17:01.352 steal her away from Whitehall before. 17:01.562 --> 17:04.397 I'm sure the temptation was there, Count. 17:04.732 --> 17:08.109 All that was lacking was audacity and opportunity. 17:09.361 --> 17:13.239 Audacity and opportunity. And motive? 17:13.449 --> 17:16.743 Avariciousness and greed are motives, Count. 17:17.536 --> 17:19.328 I'm sure you're familiar with them. 17:20.247 --> 17:25.001 The police are satisfied that I was away from the building 17:25.335 --> 17:26.753 when the theft occurred. 17:28.964 --> 17:30.798 Que sera sera. 17:39.933 --> 17:42.560 I'm following my own line of enquiry, 17:43.145 --> 17:45.772 as my brother did with Miss Minnie Warrender, 17:45.898 --> 17:48.357 when she accused you of stealing her jewels. 17:49.109 --> 17:50.777 My conscience is clear. 17:52.404 --> 17:55.615 Our past is an unresolved duel, Mycroft. 17:57.367 --> 18:00.286 You may hold some personal grievance against me. 18:01.038 --> 18:05.666 But that gives you no right to sully my good name and reputation. 18:06.794 --> 18:09.295 This is between us, Count. 18:10.756 --> 18:11.631 You... 18:12.591 --> 18:13.800 And me. 18:25.646 --> 18:28.773 Do forgive me. Hair trigger. 18:52.673 --> 18:53.881 Should I wait, sir? 18:59.012 --> 19:01.806 No, no.

That's quite all right. 20:47.412 --> 20:48.579 I'm fairly new to this country 20:48.705 --> 20:51.082 and haven't gotten used to your English ways yet. 20:51.875 --> 20:54.210 I guess I must seem impatient to a man like yourself. 20:54.795 --> 20:57.713 Urbane and unsophisticated. 20:58.215 --> 21:00.174 Good luck with your search, Mr. Garrideb. 21:01.176 --> 21:04.053 I'll be in touch if I discover anything useful. 21:04.179 --> 21:05.304 Much obliged, Doctor. 21:07.099 --> 21:07.848 Much obliged. 21:17.150 --> 21:21.654 John Garrideb has a English coat, frayed at the elbow and trousers 21:22.030 --> 21:25.199 bagged at the knees with at least a years wear. 21:25.867 --> 21:30.246 Despite what he says I'll wager that he hasn't just arrived in this country. 21:31.331 --> 21:35.876 You would hardly refuse to trade with someone who possesses a diamond of 21:36.086 --> 21:37.712 exceptional quality. 21:37.838 --> 21:39.880 That depends, Mr. Mycroft. 21:40.007 --> 21:41.716 Oh, on what? 21:42.676 --> 21:47.054 The provenance of the diamond, of course. Its legality. 21:47.347 --> 21:53.019 Even if it were brought to you by a respectable member of society? 21:53.395 --> 21:56.439 Her Majesty could offer me the Crown Jewels 21:56.565 --> 21:59.900 and I'd still refuse to do business with her. 22:02.612 --> 22:06.824 Strange to think that pieces of crystalised carbon 22:07.159 --> 22:11.537 could be the cause of such great human happiness and tragedy. 22:16.835 --> 22:20.087 Some things are better said in private, Mr. Mycroft, 22:20.797 --> 22:22.131 you do understand. 22:22.382 --> 22:25.551 I think we understand each other. You have a reputable business. 22:26.053 --> 22:28.262 You can't afford to make mistakes. 22:35.228 --> 22:36.604 You were offered a diamond. 22:38.231 --> 22:42.068 Yes. I was interested, of course. 22:42.569 --> 22:44.904 He was willing to pay a lot of money. 22:45.238 --> 22:45.821 Who was? 22:48.325 --> 22:49.241 Tell me. 22:51.119 --> 22:52.036 The Count. 22:52.829 --> 22:53.579 And the name? 22:55.415 --> 22:56.874 Count Sylvius. 22:59.336 --> 23:03.339 Well that's no good to me, Ikey. I need them within two days. 23:03.840 --> 23:05.549 With the greatest respect, sir, 23:05.675 --> 23:09.470 only Roger Presbury could have cut your diamond in less than a week. 23:09.679 --> 23:12.765 And he took his skills with him to the grave. 23:13.433 --> 23:17.978 Well then I'd better find someone alive to do the work while there's still time. 23:19.398 --> 23:20.523 What can you do? 23:20.857 --> 23:23.150 Who was Roger Presbury? 23:24.069 --> 23:25.778 A true genius. 23:26.363 --> 23:29.323 In his hands a lifeless, shapeless stone 23:29.491 --> 23:31.951 became a living, breathing work of art. 23:32.953 --> 23:34.286 Diamonds were his life. 23:34.579 --> 23:35.788 And his death? 23:37.082 --> 23:40.751 Indeed. He was murdered five years ago 23:41.461 --> 23:43.504 during a quarrel about some gems. 23:44.464 --> 23:46.215 Ah, such a tragedy. 23:46.508 --> 23:48.968 Did you see the Count's diamond? 23:49.094 --> 23:54.140 Alas, no. But he did give me a description of it. 23:54.724 --> 23:59.019 He described a round stone of finest purity and colour. 23:59.146 --> 24:01.814 Approximately one hundred carats in weight. 24:02.274 --> 24:04.984 A hundred and ten, Mr. Mycroft. 24:05.652 --> 24:11.449 But a little too close for comfort to a description of the Mazarin Stone. 24:11.950 --> 24:13.492 I've taken up enough of your time. 24:14.661 --> 24:17.413 Not at all, Mr. Mycroft sir. Not at all. 24:27.048 --> 24:27.882 Ladies. 24:29.009 --> 24:30.384 Ladies I've got good news. 24:33.680 --> 24:36.307 Ladies, tell your brother I've got good news. 24:37.267 --> 24:40.186 Your antipathy for the Count is well known, 24:40.395 --> 24:45.107 unlike your reasons. He brings the higher echelons of our Society 24:45.358 --> 24:47.067 into disrepute. 24:47.319 --> 24:49.487 In your opinion. 24:52.282 --> 24:56.660 I suppose you realise that the Count is among the guests at a levee 24:56.786 --> 24:59.121 at St. James's Palace tomorrow morning. 25:00.165 --> 25:02.249 He should be serving a prison sentence. 25:03.168 --> 25:05.044 And the Prince and Princess of Wales 25:05.170 --> 25:08.672 are unlikely to entertain suspected criminals, are they? 25:09.049 --> 25:10.174 Drive on George. 25:45.460 --> 25:46.585 Enchanting. 25:47.462 --> 25:51.048 You are an incorrigible flatterer, Count Sylvius. 25:51.716 --> 25:54.969 Bertie will be most disturbed if he knew of your attentions. 25:56.304 --> 25:58.973 Your most humble servant, Ma'am. 26:16.116 --> 26:20.035 A beautiful thing sits strangely in the wrong hands. 26:37.304 --> 26:37.970 There. 26:45.020 --> 26:49.857 "Howard Garrideb. Constructor of Agricultural Machinery." 26:51.318 --> 26:55.487 "Binders, reapers' steam and hand plows, drills, harrows," 26:55.822 --> 27:00.534 "farmer's carts, buckboards, and all other appliances." 27:01.953 --> 27:06.290 "Estimates for Artesian Wells.

Constructor of Agricultural Machinery. 27:21.097 --> 27:23.641 Binders, reapers' steam and hand plows. 27:23.767 --> 27:25.267 And how do you spell "ploughs"? 27:26.311 --> 27:29.813 P - L - O - W - S. That's American spelling. 27:30.982 --> 27:32.316 It could be a printer's error. 27:34.027 --> 27:38.697 Buckboards Artesan Wells. In Birmingham. 27:39.240 --> 27:43.869 So, you're implying that this advertisement 27:44.287 --> 27:48.374 has been written by an American. John Garrideb. 27:48.541 --> 27:52.753 So, this Howard Garrideb simply doesn't exist. 27:52.879 --> 27:56.256 And yet he has asked Nathan to meet him in his office alone 27:56.424 --> 27:58.342 tomorrow night in Birmingham. 27:59.511 --> 28:03.430 Now something is wrong, Doctor.
