00:01:01C protagonist
00:01:21Hello, Stimpson. Thank you for keeping up.
00:01:24That's quite all right, sir.
00:01:25This gun has excellent selection, Mr Holmes.
00:01:29There's plenty of grouse.
00:01:30Grouse, sir, little bird, is not worth the trouble of eating after you shoot them.
00:01:33You wait till you hook into your first salmon, old boy.
00:01:35Well, might you have everything at Baker Street first thing in the morning, Stimpson,
00:01:37because if we're not in Scotland by the time the salmon stop running,
00:01:40the fish will hold Dr. Watson personally responsible.
00:01:43I'll have everything at your rooms first thing in the morning.
00:01:45Thank you. Good night.
00:01:45Good night, sir.
00:01:46Good night, sir.
00:01:47Good night.
00:01:48Ah, Scotland.
00:01:49I shall be glad to get away from this place.
00:01:52The smell of heather after rain, the crisp night air,
00:01:55with the stars shining clear in the sky.
00:01:57Bed in the bush with stars to see.
00:01:59Bread I dip in the river.
00:02:00There's the life for a man like me.
00:02:02There's the life forever.
00:02:03Yes?
00:02:04Robert Louis Stevenson.
00:02:05The Treasure Island fellow?
00:02:07Yes, and many other lovely islands too, Watson.
00:02:12Hello.
00:02:16Ah, so the old girl has lost her emeralds, eh?
00:02:18Now, Holmes, you promised no more cases until the holiday's over.
00:02:22Don't worry, old fellow.
00:02:23I was just thinking she's well rid of her emeralds.
00:02:26Green was never a very becoming colour to the old trout.
00:02:28I say, you've got your paper, sir.
00:02:31I'm afraid you're mistaken.
00:02:32No mistake. I saw you drop it.
00:02:34You've just been told, sir, that you've made a mistake.
00:02:36But it is the gentleman's paper, sir.
00:02:38Be of you, my good man.
00:02:39Mr. Holmes told you that he didn't have a paper.
00:02:41Yes, but I was quite wrong.
00:02:42I'm so sorry.
00:02:43That is my paper.
00:02:52There are times, Holmes, when your behaviour is utterly inexplicable.
00:02:56I'm sorry, sir.
00:02:58May I recommend a visit, gentlemen?
00:03:01A visit where, sir?
00:03:02The best fish and chips in London.
00:03:04Fish and chips?
00:03:05I never eat fish and chips.
00:03:07My friend doesn't eat fish and chips.
00:03:08We loathe fish and chips, sir.
00:03:10Come to think of it, old fellow,
00:03:11some fish and chips might go very well just now.
00:03:13Thank you for your suggestion, sir.
00:03:14Come on, Watson.
00:03:15Fish and chips.
00:03:16Filthy stuff.
00:03:17She's brought our cat.
00:03:30Hello, Ducky.
00:03:38Ah, good evening, gentlemen.
00:03:39Evening.
00:03:43May I suggest that, sir?
00:03:48Two and six.
00:03:50No, I think I'll have some fish and chips.
00:03:52And you, sir?
00:03:53Just a minute.
00:03:54I'm sorry, dear.
00:03:55We serve the best fish and chips in London, sir.
00:03:58Make it two, will you?
00:03:59I think I'll have an order of...
00:04:03Gone.
00:04:04I order for both of us.
00:04:05What do you order for me?
00:04:06Fish and chips.
00:04:07Fish and chips.
00:04:09Nice place you brought me to, I must say.
00:04:13I say, take a look at this fish bone.
00:04:15Where?
00:04:16Right in my soup.
00:04:18A fine thing.
00:04:19It might have stuck in my throat.
00:04:21Just a moment.
00:04:22Fish bones.
00:04:23I'd rather eat in a nally.
00:04:25Go and eat in a nally, then.
00:04:26That's where you probably belong.
00:04:32Likely as not, we'd both be poisoned.
00:04:35What's up, Holmes?
00:04:37I don't know.
00:04:38Yet.
00:04:39Something definitely is.
00:04:43Fish bones.
00:04:44The fellow probably was right.
00:04:46Looks like something one might find in a nally.
00:04:49That's it.
00:04:50What's it?
00:04:51Fish bone nally, of course.
00:04:53What's the price got to do with it?
00:04:55It's not the price.
00:04:56It's the numerals.
00:04:57Two, six, number 26, fish bone nally.
00:05:00Everything these last few minutes has been directed towards giving us that address.
00:05:03Oh, come, Holmes.
00:05:04Who on earth would go to all that trouble?
00:05:05Shh.
00:05:07Duchess's photograph.
00:05:09Duchess Brookdale's house.
00:05:11Barclay Square.
00:05:13About eight o'clock last night.
00:05:18I've got it.
00:05:19Eight o'clock.
00:05:20But you said you weren't interested in the old trout's emeralds.
00:05:22I'm not.
00:05:23Well?
00:05:24You've just been invited rather securitously, I admit, to appear at number 26, fish bone nally, at eight o'clock tonight.
00:05:28You're a mumbo-jumbo, if you ask me.
00:05:30Probably no such place as fish bone nally.
00:05:32Oh, yes, there is.
00:05:33It's off Mount Street.
00:05:347.45.
00:05:35We've just got time before we walk briskly.
00:05:37Good night, Dorothy.
00:05:40Good girl.
00:05:41Look here, Holmes.
00:05:42You're not thinking of going there, are you?
00:05:45Naturally.
00:05:46Someone must want to see us rather badly to have gone to all that trouble.
00:05:48But hang on.
00:05:49It may be a trap.
00:05:50Well, if it is, at least it promises to be an interesting one.
00:06:03Sinister-looking place.
00:06:17See that?
00:06:21They're expecting us.
00:06:33Look out, Holmes.
00:06:34Careful.
00:06:57Won't you go in, gentlemen?
00:07:03Please forgive the somewhat odd way in which we summoned you, Mr. Holmes.
00:07:07The method was ingenious.
00:07:09I'm sure you must have a reason.
00:07:11Briefly.
00:07:12We wish to engage your services to take someone from England...
00:07:15and deliver him to a place we shall designate.
00:07:19And the name of this person?
00:07:21That I am not at liberty to divulge.
00:07:24Gentlemen, I'm not accustomed to working in the dark.
00:07:26I bid you good night.
00:07:29Gentlemen, I'm not accustomed to working in the dark.
00:07:31I bid you good night.
00:07:32Mr. Holmes.
00:07:34One moment, please.
00:07:37If you are prepared to pay any sum you name, Mr. Holmes...
00:07:40I assure you this is a matter of international importance.
00:07:43My dear sir, I realized that when I encountered the Prime Minister of Rovinia...
00:07:47lurking outside an oyster bar in Soho...
00:07:49apparently for the sole purpose of stimulating my appetite for fish and chips.
00:07:53You deserve your reputation, sir.
00:07:55I take that you brought me here on a matter pertaining to...
00:07:58the death of His Majesty King Stephan...
00:08:00in an automobile accident last week.
00:08:02His Majesty was not killed in an automobile accident, Mr. Holmes.
00:08:06He was assassinated.
00:08:09It's a great loss to the whole democratic world.
00:08:12Won't you sit down, Mr. Holmes?
00:08:15Roger.
00:08:17Permit me, gentlemen, to introduce my colleagues.
00:08:20Anton Petzval and Matthias Czerny.
00:08:23How do you do? My associate, Dr. Watson.
00:08:25How do you do, gentlemen?
00:08:26How do you do? Mr. Holmes.
00:08:29And Dr. Watson.
00:08:31Thank you, sir.
00:08:32A glass of wine, gentlemen?
00:08:33No, thank you.
00:08:34Oh, no, thank you.
00:08:37For several years now...
00:08:39a powerful group has been working together...
00:08:42For several years now...
00:08:44a powerful group has been seeking to gain control...
00:08:47of Robbenia for personal gain.
00:08:50The assassination of His Majesty...
00:08:52was their first step in that direction.
00:08:54It is to prevent the second step that we have sent for you.
00:08:57For the sake of our people...
00:08:59it is imperative that King Stephan's son, Nicholas...
00:09:02be returned safely to his country.
00:09:05Is he here in England?
00:09:06Oh, yes.
00:09:07His Majesty has been educated at one of your public schools.
00:09:10A wise move, sir.
00:09:11Sir, I'm very sorry.
00:09:12Do you feel that you yourselves are unequal to your task?
00:09:15We are up against a clever and ruthless group...
00:09:17to whom we are all well known.
00:09:19Are they aware of His Majesty's identity?
00:09:21Oh, no.
00:09:22No one knows but ourselves.
00:09:24His Majesty was brought to England as a child incognito.
00:09:28Have you made any plans for his return to Robbenia?
00:09:31We have a plan in readiness to leave tonight.
00:09:33However, several stops will be necessary en route.
00:09:36And at any one of these stops, His Majesty's life may be attempted.
00:09:40Mr. Holmes.
00:09:42For the sake not only of our country...
00:09:44but for liberty and good government everywhere...
00:09:47we implore you to undertake this mission.
00:09:50Now, Holmes, you gave me your promise.
00:09:52You need a rest, you know. You've not been up to the mark lately.
00:09:54I'm afraid we'll have to postpone our holiday, Watson.
00:09:56But think of your health.
00:09:57Sorry, old fellow.
00:10:00Gentlemen, in the interest of democratic government...
00:10:03I shall be happy to do my utmost...
00:10:05to see that His Majesty reaches Robbenia in safety.
00:10:08We thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:10Now, if we are to leave tonight, time is short...
00:10:12and there are certain precautionary measures...
00:10:14that I should like to discuss with you.
00:10:16Watson, old fellow, come along.
00:10:17Will you excuse us?
00:10:18Come along, old chap.
00:10:19I suggest that you return to Baker Street, pack a bag...
00:10:22and have a car ready to take us to the plane.
00:10:24But, Holmes, I don't like the whole business.
00:10:26Now, don't get lost.
00:10:27Lost and have been lost...
00:10:28No, don't get lost. I'll see you later.
00:10:30Now, gentlemen, may I have your attention?
00:10:34Certainly a forsaken spot for an airfield.
00:10:38It certainly is.
00:10:40I feel like one of the babes in the woods.
00:10:43Look out, Holmes!
00:10:46I imagine we've reached our destination.
00:10:54Everything is ready, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:56Follow me.
00:10:58Everything is ready, Mr. Holmes.
00:11:00Follow me.
00:11:13Your Highness.
00:11:14May I present Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
00:11:16How do you do, sir?
00:11:17And Dr. Watson.
00:11:19How do you do, sir?
00:11:20Delighted to meet you, gentlemen.
00:11:21I appreciate your kindness in undertaking this mission.
00:11:24Oh, not at all, sir.
00:11:26I am sorry, Dr. Watson,
00:11:28but I'm afraid you will not be able to accompany Mr. Holmes after all.
00:11:32The plane we had expected to use developed engine trouble,
00:11:36and this, as you see, is only a three-seater.
00:11:39Well, just a minute, sir.
00:11:40Where Holmes goes, I go too.
00:11:41I know, I know, but...
00:11:43Well, first we lose our holiday and now this.
00:11:45I don't like your going off alone, Holmes.
00:11:47I don't like it at all.
00:11:48Come now, Watson.
00:11:49Whatever we must do in a good cause must be done.
00:11:52Look here.
00:11:53Rovinia isn't very far from the Mediterranean,
00:11:56and it has some excellent fishing.
00:11:58Why don't you take a boat?
00:11:59I'll meet you there.
00:12:00We'll have our holiday after all.
00:12:01Come to think of it,
00:12:02there's a boat sailing for the Mediterranean tomorrow.
00:12:04The Friesland, Swedish Africa Line, cargo and passenger.
00:12:06I have some influence with the director.
00:12:08Oh, that's very kind of you, sir.
00:12:09It's not just that I mind giving up our fishing homes, you know that,
00:12:12but having it all, I want to be of some use.
00:12:14And you can be, definitely.
00:12:15I can be?
00:12:16Would you excuse us, sir?
00:12:19Look at this.
00:12:22Watson.
00:12:24I don't like this convenient accident.
00:12:26Too many people seem to be in on this secret.
00:12:29When our antagonists discover we've separated,
00:12:31it's more than likely you'll be followed.
00:12:33So I want you to make yourself as conspicuous as possible.
00:12:36Decoy, eh?
00:12:37Sort of sitting duck.
00:12:39That's right.
00:12:40Oh, hello.
00:12:41Be on your guard constantly.
00:12:42Be wary of strangers,
00:12:43and whatever you do,
00:12:44don't breathe a word regarding my whereabouts.
00:12:46Don't you worry, Holmes.
00:12:47You can trust me.
00:12:48I know I can.
00:12:49So long, my fellow.
00:12:50We must hurry, Mr. Holmes.
00:13:06I don't like it.
00:13:17I don't like it.
00:13:19I don't like it.
00:13:46My name's Watson.
00:13:47Dr. Watson.
00:13:48Oh, yes, Dr. Watson.
00:13:49I'm very glad to have you on board, sir.
00:13:51My name is Johansson, the purser.
00:13:53Good morning, good morning.
00:13:54May I?
00:13:55Will you take Dr. Watson's baggage to cabin 8, please?
00:13:58Yes, sir.
00:13:59Sanford will be your steward.
00:14:00Good, good.
00:14:01Have you a cabin trunk, sir?
00:14:02Naturally.
00:14:03One doesn't go to the Mediterranean without a change of linen.
00:14:05Quite so, sir.
00:14:06Be careful of those fishing rods, young fellow, my lad.
00:14:08There you go, sir.
00:14:10Your cabin is very comfortably located
00:14:12on the port side of the ship, sir.
00:14:13Good.
00:14:14I hope I've got a nice reading.
00:14:15Excuse me.
00:14:16Purser, has anybody been asking for me?
00:14:18Why, no, Miss Woodbury.
00:14:19Not as far as I know.
00:14:20Oh, may I introduce Dr. Watson, Miss Woodbury.
00:14:23How do you do?
00:14:24How do you do?
00:14:25Miss Woodbury's quite a singer, you know.
00:14:26She will be with us all the way to Alexandria.
00:14:28Oh, splendid.
00:14:29I used to sing a bit myself.
00:14:30Songs like Loch Lomond and so on.
00:14:31Pardon me, sir.
00:14:32You weren't in the lounge.
00:14:33Oh, excuse me.
00:14:34Sir, I'd like to speak to Miss Woodbury.
00:14:36Oh, yes, of course.
00:14:37You weren't in the lounge.
00:14:38Oh, excuse me.
00:14:39Certainly.
00:14:40You must sing it to me sometime.
00:14:43Is this your first trip to the East, Miss Woodbury?
00:14:45Yes, and I'm tickled to death.
00:14:46American?
00:14:47Brooklyn.
00:14:48Brooklyn?
00:14:49Yes, Brooklyn.
00:14:50I've been wondering, are you the Dr. Watson?
00:14:53Well, I'm Dr. Watson of 221 D Baker Street.
00:14:56The one who is associated with Sherlock Holmes?
00:14:58Well, Holmes and I have been associated on quite a number of cases.
00:15:01Is Mr. Holmes with you this trip?
00:15:02No, as a matter of fact, he's gone.
00:15:04Gone where?
00:15:05Well, he won't be along with us.
00:15:07He's a very busy man.
00:15:08You know, he relies very large on me.
00:15:10Came to see me off the stage.
00:15:11He said, Watson, I should be lost without you.
00:15:13Oh, I'm so sorry he isn't here.
00:15:15You see, I've heard so much about his work.
00:15:17And yours.
00:15:18Oh, perhaps someday you'll let me give you an insight on some of our most interesting cases.
00:15:23Oh, Reggie.
00:15:24Who?
00:15:25Excuse me.
00:15:28Reggie.
00:15:29Reggie.
00:15:34I was afraid you wouldn't get here in time to see me off.
00:15:36Here you are, Sheila.
00:15:37And try not to lose it again.
00:15:39Heavens, where was it?
00:15:40I thought it was in my cabin.
00:15:41You left it in my office yesterday.
00:15:43Now, try to hold on to it.
00:15:44I don't imagine it'd be very easy to replace those arrangements in Alexandria.
00:15:48You can forget your music more often than any singer I've ever managed.
00:15:51I should have a secretary.
00:15:53All ashore.
00:15:54All visitors ashore.
00:15:55That might be a slight hint.
00:15:56Oh, you'll find Hassan a nice chap to work for.
00:15:58I hope I make good.
00:16:00You will.
00:16:01Good luck.
00:16:03And don't lose it again.
00:16:05Oh, don't worry.
00:16:06I won't let it out of my sight this time.
00:16:08Sorry, sir.
00:16:09You'll have to go ashore now.
00:16:10Goodbye, Reggie.
00:16:28Goodbye.
00:16:48I make it a rule to take a three-mile hike before each meal.
00:16:51Keeps one fit.
00:16:52Stimulates the digestion.
00:16:54And a glass of milk.
00:16:55As I was saying,
00:16:56she was in wonderful voice.
00:16:57I shall never forget that last night at the Old Adelphia.
00:17:00Pulled down now to make way for a cinema.
00:17:02Heartbreaking.
00:17:03Where would we be without the cow, Doctor?
00:17:06The cow?
00:17:07I'm afraid so, dear.
00:17:08I'm sure Mr. Arnold here would be happy to help me in organizing deck games.
00:17:13The shuffleboard, deck tennis, medicine ball.
00:17:16Hiking!
00:17:17Shall I put you down for a three-mile hike before lunch, Dr. Watson?
00:17:21No, thank you very much.
00:17:22I prefer to sit down before my meals.
00:17:24Relax and have a glass of sherry.
00:17:26Like Ferdinand the Bull.
00:17:28I am on a holiday.
00:17:32How does that little tune go?
00:17:34Let me see.
00:17:35I'll think of it in a minute.
00:17:37Incorrigible.
00:17:40I have it.
00:17:50That's it.
00:17:52Then I'll put you down for a three-mile hike before each meal.
00:17:57Yours?
00:17:58Thank you, yes.
00:18:00This bag goes with it.
00:18:07Oh, lunch!
00:18:09There's nothing like soft air to give one an appetite.
00:18:12Don't you agree, Mr. Arnold?
00:18:15So long, Ducky.
00:18:17See you later.
00:18:18Aren't you coming, Dr. Watson?
00:18:20No, my dear. I'll join you later.
00:18:21All right.
00:18:23What would Holmes do?
00:18:31I said sherry, Stuart!
00:18:37Carrying a revolver.
00:18:39That's suspicious.
00:18:44And I tell you, so long as no one on the boat knows of our mission...
00:18:47Things can't be kept quiet indefinitely.
00:18:49Certain factions are still fanatically loyal to their royal line, you know.
00:18:53For enough money, the people will forget there ever was such a king.
00:18:56And once we have the body...
00:19:13Doctor?
00:19:14Aye.
00:19:18Holmes!
00:19:31Small, gray plane.
00:19:33Two white stripes.
00:19:35No.
00:19:39Can't be true.
00:19:42Holmes.
00:19:44Holmes gone.
00:19:48Dr. Watson?
00:19:50I beg your pardon, Dr. Watson.
00:19:52What is it?
00:19:53I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but there's a gentleman quite ill in cabin seven.
00:19:56The captain asked if you'd mind seeing him.
00:19:58No, no, I can't see anyone now.
00:20:00We have no doctor aboard, sir.
00:20:02I've retired from practice.
00:20:04Well, the captain requested it, sir.
00:20:06The captain?
00:20:07Oh.
00:20:08Where is he?
00:20:09He'll just follow me.
00:20:10I'll go and get him.
00:20:11I'll go and get him.
00:20:12I'll go and get him.
00:20:13I'll go and get him.
00:20:14I'll go and get him.
00:20:15I'll go and get him.
00:20:16He'll just follow me.
00:20:21It's the captain adjoining yours, sir.
00:20:24Right this way, sir.
00:20:26The doctor is here, sir.
00:20:38Is it serious, doctor?
00:20:40Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
00:20:41Can't you see I'm busy?
00:20:47Thank you, Sanford.
00:20:55Holmes.
00:20:57But the wireless said your plane crashed.
00:20:59No survivors.
00:21:00It was shot down, Lodson.
00:21:01I don't understand.
00:21:02I'm terribly sorry, old fellow.
00:21:03I meant you to know the truth at the earliest possible moment.
00:21:07But, uh, as you know,
00:21:10I have a dislike of plans ready-made by other people.
00:21:13I have a habit of becoming too widely known,
00:21:15and that convenient accident at the original plane
00:21:17really confirmed my suspicions.
00:21:19You mean you intended to take the boat all along?
00:21:21Certainly.
00:21:22I made the arrangements with the prime minister
00:21:24while you were at Baker Street packing.
00:21:25Well, why didn't you tell me?
00:21:26Why let me make a fool of myself?
00:21:28You didn't make a fool of yourself.
00:21:30No one could possibly have known from your manner in coming aboard
00:21:33that our young friend here and I
00:21:35were lying hidden below until the ship sailed.
00:21:38Your majesty.
00:21:40Uh, you mean, uh,
00:21:42your nephew, Nicholas Watson.
00:21:45What?
00:21:46Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:21:48Yes, yes, of course.
00:21:49That's my nephew, Nicholas.
00:21:52As I suspected, old fellow,
00:21:54our enemies acted promptly and ruthlessly,
00:21:57and it's only a matter of time
00:21:59till they find the wreckage of the plane
00:22:00and discover that we're not on it.
00:22:02Oh, that may explain something, Holmes.
00:22:04There's a woman on board
00:22:06who carries a revolver and a handbag.
00:22:08She calls herself Dunham, Miss Agatha Dunham.
00:22:11If she is a she,
00:22:12from the look of her, I wouldn't be surprised
00:22:13if it's a man dressed up.
00:22:14Oh, it's not very uncommon
00:22:15for a woman traveling alone to carry a revolver.
00:22:17Yes, but there's another thing, Holmes.
00:22:18I just heard a very suspicious conversation
00:22:20between two men in the smoking room.
00:22:22Something about a fanatical faction
00:22:24and the body of a king.
00:22:26Oh.
00:22:28Hmm.
00:22:31I had hoped my stratagem
00:22:32might give us breathing space for a day or two.
00:22:34What do you propose to do, Holmes?
00:22:37I, uh...
00:22:39I've made arrangements
00:22:40to hand Nicholas over to his friends in Algiers.
00:22:42The ship's first stop.
00:22:43They have the means to ensure
00:22:44the completion of this journey in safety.
00:22:46After which you and Dr. Watson
00:22:47will be able to continue
00:22:48with your interrupted holiday.
00:22:50After which we shall both need some relaxation.
00:22:53From the look of it, old fellow,
00:22:54you've already started.
00:22:56What do you mean, Holmes?
00:22:57Along the lines of relaxation, I mean.
00:23:00Brunette, young, beautiful.
00:23:02Well, it will fit you all right,
00:23:03but how do you know?
00:23:06Brunettes.
00:23:07Brunettes.
00:23:08And I pay sufficient credit to your good taste
00:23:11to take the beautiful for granted.
00:23:13Oh.
00:23:14Oh.
00:23:18Now, if a girl and boy should meet,
00:23:20would you think it indiscreet?
00:23:22If they had a friendly chat,
00:23:26I'm sure you'd find
00:23:30there isn't any harm in that.
00:23:34If they met again at four,
00:23:36had a cup of tea or more,
00:23:38then he said he liked your hat,
00:23:42I'm sure you'd find
00:23:46there isn't any harm in that.
00:23:50He holds your hand,
00:23:53he thinks you're grand,
00:23:56love takes command.
00:24:00Before he's through,
00:24:03he says, I love you.
00:24:08Now, if a girl should lose her head,
00:24:10and the boy and girl should wed,
00:24:12and they take a furnished flat,
00:24:16so what?
00:24:18That's fate.
00:24:20There isn't any harm in that.
00:24:24Delightful.
00:24:25Very delightful.
00:24:26Now, how about that surprise you said you had for me?
00:24:28Oh, you'll see in time.
00:24:30But first of all, you must keep your promise.
00:24:32That you'd sing
00:24:33Flow Gently, Sweet Afton for me.
00:24:35Oh, all right.
00:24:36If you really want me to.
00:24:37Oh, of course I do.
00:24:38I wonder if you'd hand me my music case, please.
00:24:40Ah, there it is.
00:24:46Why, sir.
00:24:47I'm so sorry.
00:24:48Oh, no, that's all right.
00:24:49I didn't hurt you.
00:24:50No, no.
00:24:52Ah.
00:24:54Here is my surprise.
00:24:57May I introduce my nephew,
00:24:59Mr. Nicholas Watson?
00:25:00How do you do?
00:25:01How do you do?
00:25:02And my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:25:05How do you do?
00:25:07Oh.
00:25:09I...
00:25:10Excuse me.
00:25:14Oh, I'm sorry.
00:25:15Excuse me.
00:25:18Really, Watson, I've never thought of myself as handsome.
00:25:21That's the first time in my life
00:25:22that a woman has run away at the sight of me.
00:25:24But, hang it all, Holmes, something must be wrong.
00:25:26Obviously.
00:25:27Can I have a sherry?
00:25:28Please.
00:25:29No, thanks.
00:25:30Had you told her that I was on board?
00:25:32No, no.
00:25:33I just told her tonight that I had a surprise for her.
00:25:35Seems to be rather an understatement.
00:25:37Two sherries, please.
00:25:38Yes, sir.
00:25:39I don't understand it, Holmes.
00:25:40She seems such a nice girl.
00:25:41And she sings charmingly.
00:25:43My dear fellow,
00:25:44musical talent is hardly evidence of innocence.
00:25:46As a matter of fact,
00:25:47the late Professor Moriarty
00:25:49was a virtuoso on the bassoon.
00:25:53Incidentally,
00:25:56under no circumstances
00:25:59must you be left alone
00:26:00at any time or for any reason.
00:26:02Oh, what are you going to do, Holmes?
00:26:04At the moment, nothing.
00:26:06I shall leave the first move to my antagonists.
00:26:08Cheers.
00:26:22Good morning, everybody.
00:26:24Good morning, my dear.
00:26:25Not that it is a very good morning.
00:26:27Instead, it's mysterious and attractive,
00:26:29not all dirty and sinister like a London bog.
00:26:33The blasted noise kept me awake half the night.
00:26:36Oh, that's too bad.
00:26:38Would you be interested in a stroll around the deck?
00:26:40I'd like to.
00:26:41Well, come along, then.
00:26:42But...
00:26:45Watson,
00:26:46I think a walk on the deck is indicated.
00:26:48Not for me.
00:26:49Oh, yes, of course.
00:26:51Nothing like a good hike for the digestion.
00:26:58That's funny.
00:26:59Can't have gone far, huh?
00:27:28I can't see a thing.
00:27:37But I don't dare entrust a message like that to the wireless.
00:27:40It might fall into the wrong hands.
00:27:42Nevertheless, we should get in touch
00:27:43with someone in authority at once.
00:27:45After all, there should be three bodies, not just one.
00:27:47We were told to use our own judgment
00:27:49about the best way to...
00:27:50Pardon me, gentlemen.
00:27:52Have you by any chance
00:27:53seen Miss Woodbury and...
00:27:54Sorry, we haven't.
00:28:01That's very rude.
00:28:08Nicholas!
00:28:12Nicholas!
00:28:13Nicholas!
00:28:17Nicholas!
00:28:26Good morning, Ducky.
00:28:27Good morning.
00:28:28You're looking depressingly healthy.
00:28:29Rather.
00:28:30Three mile hike before each meal, old boy.
00:28:33I know. Good for the digestion.
00:28:35You haven't by any chance
00:28:36seen Miss Woodbury and my nephew, have you?
00:28:38Don't tell me you've lost the dear boy.
00:28:40The question is not have I lost the dear boy,
00:28:42but have you seen him?
00:28:43Come, Doctor, a-hunting we will go.
00:28:47I've already been this way.
00:28:49You know, there's something fascinating about fog at sea.
00:28:53Guess you're just as wet.
00:28:55Really as thick, isn't it?
00:29:03You can hardly see the water.
00:29:05It looks ominous.
00:29:07Yes, doesn't it?
00:29:09You're right about it being wet.
00:29:11You know, I have a feeling my nose is a sight.
00:29:14It's a very pretty nose.
00:29:15Oh, liar.
00:29:17Oh, look out.
00:29:29Oh.
00:29:30Well, thank you. I...
00:29:32Isn't it lucky you were here?
00:29:33Yes, isn't it?
00:29:34You startled me.
00:29:35I thought you were deep in your chess game.
00:29:37Oh, the lust is found, Doctor.
00:29:40Sorry, Holmes, there's a fog.
00:29:41Yes, so I observed.
00:29:43It's colder out here than I thought.
00:29:45Come, my dear.
00:29:46A good brisk hike will do you good.
00:29:48I'm sure the Doctor doesn't wish to continue
00:29:50now that he's found the dear boy.
00:29:56It appears that someone has been careless, Watson.
00:30:10Cross my heart
00:30:15I always will love you
00:30:20Put nothing above you
00:30:25Cross my heart
00:30:30Cross my heart
00:30:35I'll hold you forever
00:30:40I promise we never will part
00:30:50With you, the trees in winter
00:30:56Will look green to me
00:31:01What you will mean to me
00:31:07Can never be told
00:31:15Cross my heart
00:31:19Your vision will guide me
00:31:24Deep down here inside me
00:31:39What's up?
00:31:40Oh, excuse me.
00:31:43Excuse me, will you?
00:31:48Nicholas.
00:31:51Something wrong?
00:31:52Excuse me, please.
00:32:02We're off Lisbon.
00:32:03Lisbon?
00:32:04We're not supposed to stop there, are we?
00:32:06I rather fancied we'd be getting some fresh air.
00:32:09Yes.
00:32:10I think added caution is indicated.
00:32:25For the last 24 hours, they've undoubtedly discovered
00:32:27that we are not on that plane.
00:32:30And we are on that plane.
00:32:32For the last 24 hours, they've undoubtedly discovered
00:32:35that we are not on that plane.
00:32:38And we are on this ship.
00:32:40Those fellows Kingston and Joey were outside the wireless room today.
00:32:43They said something about communicating with someone in authority.
00:32:46Could they...
00:32:47Possibly.
00:32:48Nicholas, Dr. Watson and I are going on deck again.
00:32:50I'm rather anxious to see who's coming aboard.
00:32:52Lock the door, will you?
00:32:53And don't open it, except to Dr. Watson or myself.
00:32:56Right.
00:33:03Going on deck, sir?
00:33:04Yes. Breath of fresh air.
00:33:06I see, sir.
00:33:16Holmes, did it occur to you that Stuart behaved rather suspiciously?
00:33:19Quite.
00:33:29I understand we've stopped to take on some cargo.
00:33:31Yes. Three passengers.
00:33:33Yes.
00:33:34Oh, Mr. Holmes, you startled me.
00:33:37Hello?
00:33:38Do you see three men have come aboard?
00:33:40So Miss Woodbury just informed us.
00:33:43Lisbon. Beautiful city.
00:33:45Too bad we shan't have a chance to pay to visit.
00:33:48The Mar de Paya.
00:33:49The Castillo San Jorge.
00:33:51The Cloisters of the Geronimos.
00:33:54The Tower of Beirut.
00:33:56One of the most fascinating examples of Moorish architecture I've ever seen.
00:34:01Good evening.
00:34:03Mr. Holmes, is it not?
00:34:05Good evening. I'm afraid you have the advantage of me.
00:34:08Oh, that's a prize of fame, Mr. Holmes.
00:34:16Who on earth's that?
00:34:18I don't know, but I've seen his face before somewhere.
00:34:26Merkle!
00:34:28I think, Watson, we'd better get back to your nephew.
00:34:38This way, it's quicker.
00:34:44Who's there?
00:34:45It's I, Holmes.
00:34:58Nicholas, I want you to move in with Dr. Watson until we reach our destination.
00:35:03Understand?
00:35:04Certainly, Mr. Holmes.
00:35:05I think you want to keep him under your eye.
00:35:07I would, if it weren't for that.
00:35:12I think Nicholas would be safer in an inside cabin.
00:35:15A porthole opening onto the promenade deck
00:35:18is apt to offer too many temptations
00:35:20to the three gentlemen in the cabin opposite ours,
00:35:22or anyone else who might be interested.
00:35:24Yes?
00:35:25Is there anything you require before retiring, sir?
00:35:27Nothing. Thank you, Sanford. Good night.
00:35:29Good night, sir.
00:35:31Holmes, I don't trust that fellow.
00:35:33Yes?
00:35:35Oh, good morning Sanford.
00:35:37Good morning, sir.
00:35:38I don't trust that fella.
00:35:58Yes?
00:36:00Oh, good morning, Samford.
00:36:01– Good morning, sir! – Come down over there, will you?
00:36:03Breakfast will be served in half an hour.
00:36:09Oh!
00:36:14Coffee! Ha!
00:36:16I don't see how you can drink this stuff!
00:36:17I never could stand it myself!
00:36:19Everyone in my country drinks coffee!
00:36:21My dear Nicholas, apparently you don't realize…
00:36:23…that it's tea that has made the British Empire,…
00:36:25…and Watson, of the art of day!
00:36:28Well, we're both in pretty good shape, aren't we?
00:36:30I thought it was the playing fields of Eton that were responsible!
00:36:33No, no, no! Only for the Battle of Waterloo!
00:36:36Scummy-looking stuff, even for coffee!
00:36:39Looks as if the cream had gone sour!
00:36:41Don't drink it!
00:36:42– Why not? – What's wrong?
00:36:52Mmm!
00:36:53It's fortunate that you take cream with your coffee, Nicholas!
00:36:55I… I don't understand!
00:36:57It happens to be an idiosyncrasy of a cyanic acid group!
00:37:01It breaks up fat into globules!
00:37:03Cyanic acid!
00:37:05Do you mean to say that Nicholas was almost poisoned under our very eyes?
00:37:08If it hadn't been for the telltale appearance of the cream!
00:37:10Cold-blooded murder!
00:37:12Men who have engineered one assassination, Watson,…
00:37:14…will not stop at another!
00:37:16I owe you my life, Mr. Holmes!
00:37:17No, not me!
00:37:19Dr. Watson, with his keen sense of observation!
00:37:21Oh, thank you, Holmes!
00:37:22Has it occurred to you that Steward Chap…
00:37:24…was the only one who knows that you and I take tea,…
00:37:26…and he takes coffee?
00:37:27You don't suppose Sheila?
00:37:30Possibly! Poison is a woman's weapon!
00:37:32A woman's weapon?
00:37:33That might include that Dunham woman!
00:37:35If she is a woman?
00:37:36Hmm, hmm!
00:37:37Oh, we mustn't overlook that little bearded fellow,…
00:37:40…and his goggle-eyed friend!
00:37:41And don't forget the three charming gentlemen who came aboard last night!
00:37:48Good shot, Watson!
00:37:49Oh, thanks, old fellow!
00:37:51I was lucky, Dr. Watson!
00:37:52Not luck! Skill, Mr. Murdoch!
00:37:54Mirko, if you don't mind!
00:37:55M–I–R–K–O!
00:37:57Oh, sorry I'll be in!
00:37:59Your turn, Mr. Holmes!
00:38:04Hmm!
00:38:06You've, um,…
00:38:08…you've left your man unguarded!
00:38:13I don't think so!
00:38:14It will be more difficult to take him off than it appears!
00:38:17Your turn, Mr. Gregor!
00:38:23Oh!
00:38:24Tough luck, partner!
00:38:25Unfortunate!
00:38:26Hmm!
00:38:28Hmm!
00:38:31And yet, sometimes, to leave a man unguarded may be a skillful trap for one's opponents!
00:38:39Don't flatter me, Mr. Gregor!
00:38:40I'm not as clever a player as that!
00:38:42You're too modest, Mr. Holmes!
00:38:52Mr. Mirko is most accurate!
00:38:54Afraid I'm not giving you much help!
00:38:57Are you conceding defeat then, Mr. Holmes?
00:38:59Oh, certainly not!
00:39:01But one always prefers to win!
00:39:03Even when the price of victory is too high?
00:39:06Yeah!
00:39:07Of course, that all depends on the price one's willing to pay!
00:39:12Ha, ha! Well, that's it, Mr. Mirko!
00:39:16I'm afraid we're too good for you, old man!
00:39:19Yes!
00:39:20Mr. Holmes, and I shall have to stand the drinks!
00:39:21Now, if you're a skillful player, Mr. Mirko, I wouldn't think of penalizing you!
00:39:24The drinks shall be on me!
00:39:25You are a good loser, Mr. Holmes!
00:39:27I suggest we all meet in the lounge, after dinner!
00:39:29Right!
00:39:29Thank you for the game, gentlemen!
00:39:30Pleasure was ours, Mr. Holmes!
00:39:34Ah! Now we can really see it!
00:39:37The Rock of Gibraltar!
00:39:39We'll be getting to the Mediterranean soon, Holmes!
00:39:43Now that you have failed to warn Holmes off,…
00:39:46…our only safety lies in first eliminating him!
00:39:48But Holmes is not our objective!
00:39:50No, but he stands between us and our objective!
00:39:53It seems such a pity to eliminate Sherlock Holmes!
00:39:55You may accuse me of being unduly tenderhearted,…
00:39:58…but to destroy so great a man in order to reach our target!
00:40:01But a target we must reach before we arrive at Algiers!
00:40:04There's still plenty of time!
00:40:08You're right, of course!
00:40:10– I should like to have given Holmes a chance, but… – Good!
00:40:13Then, tonight, it'll be done my way!
00:40:16You really enjoy your work, don't you, Mirko?
00:40:24I promise you that Mirko is more than competent!
00:40:28We cannot afford to take chances!
00:40:31And Nicholas must be disposed of before we reach Algiers!
00:40:37That's because you don't know Mirko!
00:40:39I've used him before, and I promise you, he never fails!
00:40:45Because your strong arm methods are apt to be too noisy!
00:40:48With Mirko, it's swift and silent!
00:40:50Understand?
00:40:55Satisfied?
00:40:57I'm sure Mr. Goubeck is convinced!
00:41:06– Good evening, gentlemen! – Good evening!
00:41:07Mr. Mirko insists that the losers pay off the bet!
00:41:09Would you like it?
00:41:11Won't you sit down?
00:41:14What do you have?
00:41:15– A brandy, I think! – Brandy!
00:41:17– Whiskey and soda, for me! – Whiskey and soda, and three brandies, please!
00:41:20Penalty for losing the game!
00:41:22No ice in mine, Mr. Stewart!
00:41:24I can't think why they ruin good whiskey by putting ice in it!
00:41:26You see, Mr. Holmes, losing the game always carries a penalty,…
00:41:29…sometimes greater than others!
00:41:31Well, if one isn't willing to pay the penalty, one shouldn't play the game!
00:41:37– Here! – Thank you!
00:41:42Your health!
00:41:43And long life!
00:41:45Thank you!
00:41:51I think I'll turn in now!
00:41:52Oh, what happened to your charming companion?
00:41:54She said she had a headache, and went to her cabin!
00:41:56I think it's time we all turned in!
00:41:58Gentlemen, I bid you good night!
00:42:0020 past 10, huh? That's a good idea!
00:42:02– Good night! – Good night!
00:42:04Good night, gentlemen!
00:42:08Sit down!
00:42:12There's no hurry!
00:42:21It's over by now, isn't it?
00:42:24My dear Mirko!
00:42:25Try to cultivate patience!
00:42:27It's so much safer!
00:42:51He's turned out the light!
00:42:52I promise you, I shall not fail!
00:43:13Ah! Ah! Mmm!
00:43:21Mmm!
00:43:31Oh, how unfortunate, Mr. Mirko!
00:43:34These porthole covers are notoriously treacherous! I'm afraid you've broken your wrist!
00:43:37You…!
00:43:38You pig!
00:43:40You shouldn't have played shuffleboard today, you know!
00:43:43When I saw that skillful hand on an erringly accurate eye of yours,…
00:43:46…I remembered the circus of Medrano, in Paris!
00:43:49And your amazing exhibition of knife throwing!
00:43:52Good night!
00:44:01– Oh, good morning, Mr. Holmes! – Ah, there you are!
00:44:04– Good morning! – Good morning, Mr. Gregor!
00:44:06I heard of your friend's unfortunate accident!
00:44:08Will you please convey my sympathy?
00:44:10It may take a long time to heal!
00:44:11You have to have patience, you know!
00:44:13I was explaining the advantage of patience to, ah,…
00:44:16…to Mr. Mirko, only last night!
00:44:18Now, me, I'm a very patient man myself, and I always believe the result well worth waiting for!
00:44:22Don't you agree, Mr. Holmes?
00:44:24Patience has advantages, under certain conditions!
00:44:27– We are in accord, Mr. Holmes! – Yes, aren't we?
00:44:33That fellow Mirko said he slipped and fell down, while walking round the deck, at 3 o'clock in the morning!
00:44:38– Drunk, most probably! – Possibly!
00:44:40He's got a nasty fracture!
00:44:42Took me over an hour to set!
00:44:43Never got to sleep again!
00:44:45That's regrettable!
00:44:47Too bad you couldn't blame it on your insomnia!
00:44:49Insomnia?
00:44:50You know, I always sleep like a top!
00:44:52I don't think either of us is going to get much sleep tonight!
00:44:55Oh!
00:44:55You mean that woman's party?
00:44:57Silly creature!
00:44:58What on earth does she want to give a party for?
00:45:00I wasn't referring to Miss Dunham's party, Watson!
00:45:04Deadly as that will undoubtedly be!
00:45:09No!
00:45:11This is the last opportunity our three friends will have,…
00:45:14…to prevent us successfully carrying out our mission!
00:45:17We arrive at Algiers late tonight!
00:45:23Good morning, my dear!
00:45:25I should say the young lady isn't looking forward to arriving in Algiers, with any great pleasure!
00:45:29You notice, Watson,…
00:45:31…hasn't let her music case out of her sight,…
00:45:33…since our first meeting?
00:45:35Well, now that you mention it, yes!
00:45:37I want you to ask her to sing, flow gently, sweet afternoon,…
00:45:40…if she makes some excuse!
00:45:42Ask her if the music isn't in her case, leave the rest to me!
00:45:45I think you'll see an interesting reaction!
00:45:47I'll do it now!
00:45:53I still haven't heard flow gently, sweet afternoon!
00:45:56You promised to sing it for me, you know!
00:45:58Oh, I'm sorry! I'm afraid I don't know it from memory!
00:46:00No, no, no! I won't take no for an answer!
00:46:03Perhaps you put the music for it, here, in your case!
00:46:05I'm afraid I don't feel like singing!
00:46:07I… I beg your pardon!
00:46:09What did I tell you?
00:46:10Interesting, isn't it?
00:46:12Interesting!
00:46:14But you was right!
00:46:23Oh!
00:46:41Don't come any nearer! If you do, I'll…!
00:46:47I won't come any nearer, I promise!
00:46:48But, ah,…
00:46:50…may I talk to you?
00:46:51My dear Sheila!
00:46:54I don't know yet just what you're in such mortal terror of,…
00:46:56…but I'm sure that, whatever it is,…
00:46:58…you are an innocent victim!
00:46:59I don't know what you're talking!
00:47:01Well,…
00:47:02…to begin with, the way you acted the first time you saw me was a bit of a blow to my vanity, you know!
00:47:07Men are such vaints!
00:47:09Men are such vain creatures, aren't they?
00:47:11So, I prefer to think that it was something…
00:47:14…unexpected that you found in your music case, that caused you to react in such fashion!
00:47:17I saw nothing!
00:47:18Oh, come now! You must have!
00:47:20And since the quickest way to relieve fear is to share the cause of it with someone else,…
00:47:25…please forgive me if I attempt to find out…
00:47:26…just what it is that your music case contains!
00:47:28– But I told you…! – Wait a minute!
00:47:31Come along, won't you? Please!
00:47:34Why don't you sit down?
00:47:36Please!
00:47:38Now, it's unlikely to be important documents,…
00:47:41…since, to know their significance, you'd have needed time to examine them.
00:47:44But there is one thing,…
00:47:46…which is small enough to be easily concealed,…
00:47:48…and which is highly valuable.
00:47:49A jewel,…
00:47:50…or jewels!
00:47:51Then, ah,…
00:47:53…then there's this fellow, Hassan,…
00:47:55…in whose café you've been engaged as an entertainer.
00:47:58He's been suspected, for the first time, of a murder.
00:48:02He's been suspected for years by the police of two continents,…
00:48:05…as the largest receiver of stolen goods in the Near East.
00:48:10So,…
00:48:12…circumstances would indicate…
00:48:15…that the jewels you found in your music case…
00:48:18…are both stolen, and extremely valuable.
00:48:21And since there'll be no other important robberies in London,…
00:48:23…for some considerable time,…
00:48:25…I venture to say that you're carrying the, ah,…
00:48:29…the Duchess of Brookdale's emeralds.
00:48:32Am I right?
00:48:36You're quite right, Mr. Holmes.
00:48:39May I?
00:48:42I'd… I'd left the briefcase in my manager's office. He…
00:48:46He brought it to me just before we sailed.
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:51So, Dr. Watson informed me.
00:48:54I… I recognized the emeralds from the newspaper description.
00:48:58Oh, Mr. Holmes, I've been so frightened!
00:49:01Don't worry, my dear.
00:49:07Don't worry.
00:49:09I'll return the necklace.
00:49:12And I assure you that the reward the insurance company has offered is yours.
00:49:16And will more than make up to you for any loss you may incur…
00:49:19…by the cancellation of the Hassan contract.
00:49:22– And will enable you to go home to, ah,… – Brooklyn!
00:49:26Brooklyn! Well!
00:49:29I knew a most charming man who lived there once.
00:49:31Ah, he's now a resident in Sing Sing Prison.
00:49:34Oh!
00:49:36You know, I'm not going to have to carry this briefcase around with me anymore.
00:49:40How can I ever thank you?
00:49:41If you really must thank me,…
00:49:43…please do so by singing Dr. Watson's song for him, will you?
00:49:46You're a darling!
00:49:53Extraordinary sight!
00:49:54Elementary, my dear fellow!
00:49:55And very pleasant!
00:49:56Hmm?
00:49:57Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:50:02Flow gently, sweet afternoon, among thy green braes!
00:50:09Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise!
00:50:16My Mary's asleep by the murmuring stream!
00:50:23Flow gently, sweet afternoon, disturb not her dream!
00:50:34– Good evening! – Good evening!
00:50:36Oh, that looks very nice, Stuart!
00:50:39– May I help you? – No, I want to put these favours around myself!
00:50:43I want to rearrange the seating.
00:50:45See? I'm using them as place cards.
00:50:48I've written a name on each.
00:50:50That nice, fat gentleman!
00:50:53It was his suggestion!
00:50:59I hope nothing goes wrong!
00:51:01Nothing will go wrong this time, my dear Merco!
00:51:08Thank you! That was charming! I love that old song!
00:51:11Now you must sing for me, Doctor! You promised, you know!
00:51:14Well, if you like, I'll sing for some time!
00:51:17There's… There's nobody here!
00:51:20Remember, you told me you… you used to sing a song of…
00:51:23– …what was it? Loch Lomond? – Yes!
00:51:25Come on now, Doctor, just to please me!
00:51:35By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes,
00:51:41Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
00:51:49Nicholas,…
00:51:51…Dr. Watson,…
00:51:54…and this is me!
00:51:56There! I think that's done!
00:51:59Now, I better have a few words with the chef,…
00:52:01…to make sure that everything is taken care of!
00:52:03– May I show you the way? – Thank you!
00:52:19Thank you!
00:52:24Hardly any difference!
00:52:48Never meet again,
00:52:52On the bonnie, bonnie banks,
00:52:58Of Loch Lomond!
00:53:05Bravo, Watson, bravo!
00:53:08I've heard you singing at the Opera Hall!
00:53:10I didn't know you were there!
00:53:11I felt my voice a bit rusty!
00:53:12You're just being modest, Dr. Watson!
00:53:14It was delightful, eh, Jodry?
00:53:16Oh, delightful!
00:53:18My dear Kingston, why would they have constructed it so large,…
00:53:21…if it were not to accommodate three bodies?
00:53:23Watson, have you met Mr. Kingston and Mr. Jodry?
00:53:26I've seen them about!
00:53:27Mr. Kingston and Mr. Jodry are archaeologists!
00:53:30They're going to Egypt to excavate a tomb!
00:53:32And we've just received a wireless,…
00:53:33– …that the British government,… – Egyptian!
00:53:35…er, Egyptian government,…
00:53:37…has granted its permission!
00:53:39Congratulations!
00:53:40Archaeologists!
00:53:41– They might have been dug up themselves! – Watson, please!
00:53:44Was that you singing, Ducky? I could hear you in the galley!
00:53:47Capital!
00:53:48Really, it was! What was it?
00:53:50– Well, it was, er… – Oh, it doesn't matter!
00:53:52Well, is everybody ready?
00:53:54The best of all awaits!
00:53:56Oh, good!
00:53:57We'll have a wonderful time, Ducky!
00:54:02You observe I've rearranged the seating order!
00:54:05Oh, I see!
00:54:06Ducky!
00:54:07You're this end!
00:54:09Next to me!
00:54:11You work the other end of the table!
00:54:13Oh, thank you!
00:54:15I'm not going to let you off, you know!
00:54:17Let me off what?
00:54:18Ah!
00:54:19Ha, ha, ha!
00:54:22This is our last night together!
00:54:24And you've been promising the whole voyage,…
00:54:26…to tell me about one of Sherlock Holmes' adventures!
00:54:30– Oh, don't worry! – Please, do!
00:54:32Oh, isn't it a little early?
00:54:33– No! – No!
00:54:34Haven't we got to wait till after dinner?
00:54:36– Oh, yes! – Oh, why not start now?
00:54:40All right, now!
00:54:41Let's see!
00:54:42Did any of you ever hear of the…
00:54:44…the giant rat of Sumatra?
00:54:46– Oh, no! – No!
00:54:47But it sounds terribly gruesome!
00:54:49It certainly was!
00:54:51It never got in the papers at the time!
00:54:52Too delicate a matter!
00:54:54I don't suppose it'll do any harm to tell it now!
00:54:58It all began…
00:54:59…one evening…
00:55:01…in Baker Street!
00:55:03Holmes and I were sitting in our rooms,…
00:55:06…when suddenly…
00:55:08…the door opened slowly,…
00:55:10…and in walked…
00:55:12Sit down!
00:55:13You're quite safe here!
00:55:15I wish it would happen!
00:55:16I don't like the suspense!
00:55:20My dear Mirko,…
00:55:21…as I have said before, patience…
00:55:23…is an admirable quality!
00:55:25You should, uh,…
00:55:27…cultivate it!
00:55:30One of the old pea soupers! Very rare, these! Oh, take it away, thank you!
00:55:33Now, I hope you all understand the topography of the place!
00:55:36It's important!
00:55:37– Devilishly important! – Now, let me see if I get it straight!
00:55:40– Between these two knives is the Thames! – That's right, it's the Thames!
00:55:43– And the cruet is the warehouse! – The warehouse, that's right!
00:55:46– And this boat is the salt cellar! – No, the salt cellar's the boat!
00:55:49Oh, the salt cellar's the boat, of course!
00:55:51No, no, no! The salt cellar's the boat!
00:55:54Come on, Sheila! Where's your hat?
00:55:55Oh, I'm sorry! I was listening to your uncle's story! Here!
00:55:59Oh, dear! Nothing happened!
00:56:01Here! Take mine!
00:56:03Oh!
00:56:04Oh, no, you don't!
00:56:05No, this time I'm not taking any chances! I'm gonna do it all myself!
00:56:10Wait a minute!
00:56:15I don't think there's a hat in that one!
00:56:16Why don't you take mine? I never wear paper hats!
00:56:18Oh, thank you, Mr. Holmes!
00:56:20But I'm sorry you won't wear it yourself!
00:56:21I'm sure it'd be very becoming!
00:56:23Oh, oh!
00:56:24As I was saying,…
00:56:25…Holmes and I…
00:56:26…crept down the… the alley between the sinister-looking warehouses!
00:56:30Uh,…
00:56:31…this stalker, Celery's Holmes,…
00:56:33…is as bit of cheese as me!
00:56:35Oh, ducky!
00:56:37But, when we reached the end of the alley,…
00:56:41…there was a blank wall!
00:56:42So… so we had to retrace our steps!
00:56:46There was nothing else to do!
00:56:47Was it a high wall?
00:56:48High! About 6 foot high!
00:56:49I tried to climb it, but I said to Holmes, it's absolutely ludicrous! So…
00:56:53…he said to me, what? There's nothing else for it!
00:56:54And back we turned!
00:56:55Oh! And down we had to go!
00:56:59Something has gone wrong!
00:57:01– They've been down there for… – Keep quiet!
00:57:02It's that Holmes, I tell you!
00:57:04We should have got rid of him!
00:57:06Oh!
00:57:14Stay! Stay here!
00:57:20Good evening, Mr. Holmes!
00:57:22Good evening!
00:57:22Party over so soon?
00:57:24No, I don't think so!
00:57:26I imagine the festivities are in full swing! I just don't happen to be much of a hand at, uh,…
00:57:30…small talk, and paper…
00:57:32…paper hats!
00:57:33Oh, that's too bad!
00:57:35Now, me, I always enjoy that sort of thing!
00:57:37Really? Then perhaps you'd like a paper hat as a souvenir!
00:57:40This one was at, uh,…
00:57:41…Watson's nephew's, uh,… place!
00:57:44I'm sure he'd like you to have it!
00:57:47Not interested?
00:57:50Oh, very well!
00:57:56That's curious!
00:57:58Good evening, Mr. Mirko!
00:58:01Nothing will go wrong this time, my dear Mirko!
00:58:06And after a desperate chase up the river,…
00:58:08…in a police launch, the Strad finally apprehended the miscreants off Wapping!
00:58:11The freighter was thrown out to sea, and blown up!
00:58:15And London, all England, for that matter,…
00:58:17…was saved from the terrible menace of the giant rat of Sumatra!
00:58:21– Oh! – Oh, thank you very much!
00:58:24I don't think I left anything out, did I, Holmes?
00:58:27I beg your pardon?
00:58:28I beg your pardon?
00:58:29You're listening very closely!
00:58:31I asked you if I omitted anything!
00:58:33I don't think so!
00:58:34Nothing ever escapes your eagle eye!
00:58:36Oh, really? Thanks a lot!
00:58:38Ah, here's my soup, at last!
00:58:40Oh, I've been hungry!
00:58:41– Ha, ha, ha! – Wait a minute!
00:58:43Good evening!
00:58:48– Cheerio! – Hi!
00:58:52I can't believe this is our last night!
00:58:54It's funny, I can't either!
00:58:59Archaeologists!
00:59:00Going about like a couple of conspirators!
00:59:02You notice, Watson, that our three friends are conspicuous by their absence?
00:59:06Oh, now that you mention it, I don't see them anywhere about!
00:59:19Hello!
00:59:20We've stopped!
00:59:21Yes, we're off Algiers, at last!
00:59:23Thank heavens for that!
00:59:24We haven't yet delivered His Majesty in safety!
00:59:29I'm afraid I'll have to take Nicholas away!
00:59:31So early, but nobody's getting off the boat until morning!
00:59:34I'm sorry, I have a lot of packing to do!
00:59:36– Oh, I see! – Good night!
00:59:37– Good night! – Good night!
00:59:39Good night!
00:59:44Are you having a good time?
00:59:45Oh, yes, he's wonderful!
00:59:47Eh?
00:59:48Oh, yes, it's been wonderful!
00:59:50Oh!
00:59:51Has it?
00:59:59We can relax only when Nicholas is safely in the hands of his friends!
01:00:02You remember the identification they'll present?
01:00:04– Yes, of course! – Good!
01:00:05Get your hat and coat, I'll stay here with Nicholas until you return!
01:00:09– Knock, knock, knock! – Yes?
01:00:11The launch is waiting to take Dr. Watson ashore, sir!
01:00:13Thank you, Sanford!
01:00:16Good luck, old fellow, and hurry!
01:00:17You can rely on me, Holmes!
01:00:18– Bye, Nicholas! – Good luck!
01:00:22How long should it take him, Mr. Holmes?
01:00:24Oh, about half an hour, I think!
01:00:26No one could say it's not been an exciting trip!
01:00:29That was to be expected!
01:00:30Mr. Alder would have died of boredom if it hadn't been!
01:00:36Yes?
01:00:37Sorry, Holmes, I forgot my pipe!
01:00:52Don't do anything foolish, Mr. Holmes!
01:00:54I dare say you're surprised to see me, aren't you?
01:00:56In a way, yes!
01:00:57Impersonations are a hobby of mine!
01:01:00After Dr. Watson left the cabin,…
01:01:02…I managed to simulate his voice at the door!
01:01:04It was quite good!
01:01:06However, it was fortunate that you didn't hear it!
01:01:08Yes, isn't it?
01:01:14I think you must concede, Mr. Holmes, that the last trick of the game is mine!
01:01:18Ah!
01:01:19– Ah! – Kubrick!
01:01:20Ah!
01:01:22Our object now is not to kill Mr. Holmes,…
01:01:24…but to get the other one off the boat as quickly as possible!
01:01:32That's better!
01:01:46Come on!
01:01:52Ah!
01:01:55I must offer you our sincerest congratulations…
01:01:57…on the successful accomplishment of your so hazardous mission, Dr. Watson!
01:02:01Oh, thank you, Mr. Ravitch!
01:02:02I don't mind admitting it was one of our most difficult cases!
01:02:05Mr. Holmes is aboard the ship!
01:02:06Indeed he is! I left him guarding His Majesty!
01:02:09Our country owes you a great debt of gratitude, sir!
01:02:12Oh, it was nothing at all, sir! Nothing at all!
01:02:14Ha, ha, ha!
01:02:16Follow me, gentlemen!
01:02:22Holmes!
01:02:26Holmes!
01:02:31Unlocked, folly!
01:02:35Holmes!
01:02:40Locked!
01:02:44Holmes!
01:02:45What on earth's happened?
01:02:47Holmes!
01:02:48Holmes!
01:02:49What on earth's happened?
01:02:54Where's Nicholas?
01:02:56Where is he?
01:02:59Excuse me!
01:03:07Have these gentlemen correctly identified themselves?
01:03:09Yes, of course they have!
01:03:10Never mind about that now!
01:03:12Ring for the steward, will you, Watson?
01:03:13Hmm?
01:03:17Well, where's Nicholas?
01:03:18What have you done with him?
01:03:20Mr. Holmes, what has happened?
01:03:22Dr. Watson assured us His Majesty would be safe under your guard!
01:03:25Look here, Holmes, there must be some explanation!
01:03:28Gentlemen, I'm rather pained at your evident lack of confidence in me!
01:03:31Did you ring, sir?
01:03:34Your Majesty, King Nicholas!
01:03:37You're safe, sir! Heaven be praised!
01:03:39What?
01:03:40Your Majesty!
01:03:41Your Majesty? What's he talking about?
01:03:43King Nicholas? I don't understand!
01:03:45The young man who assumed your identity, sir?
01:03:47He's safe and unharmed!
01:03:49We've just received word from the shore!
01:03:51Three men have been taken by the security police!
01:03:54But you let them tie you up and kidnap him!
01:03:56Naturally, as ensuring their absence during His Majesty's safe arrival!
01:03:59I can't thank you enough, Mr. Holmes!
01:04:01Your Majesty's safe arrival is thanks enough for me!
01:04:03And you too, Dr. Watson!
01:04:04Thank you, sir!
01:04:05We had best be starting without further delay!
01:04:07Goodbye, Your Majesty!
01:04:09And, Dr. Watson, I will not forget that we've had the unusual distinction…
01:04:12…of having our breakfast served to us in bed by King!
01:04:15Your Majesty!
01:04:16– Goodbye, gentlemen! – Goodbye, sir!
01:04:26Hmm!
01:04:28Why didn't you tell me?
01:04:29Didn't you feel that you could trust me?
01:04:32My dear fellow, you know I have the utmost confidence in you!
01:04:34It certainly doesn't look as though you had!
01:04:36My dear Watson,…
01:04:38…if you'd known the truth, you'd never have been able to treat His Majesty like a steward!
01:04:42Oh, don't you think that I could…
01:04:44…play up?
01:04:45I was afraid that that honest face of yours might give the secret away!
01:04:47Phew!
01:04:50Yes, Watson, let me advise you!
01:04:52If you ever consider taking up another profession,…
01:04:54…never even think of becoming an actor!
01:04:57Hmm!
