00:00:00To be continued...
00:02:00You gentlemen look like educated men of good taste.
00:02:16I have here some rare old first editions.
00:02:19He's not bothering us.
00:02:22I'm interested in his books.
00:02:25Light beer.
00:02:26Now here are the complete works of Wilhelm Shakespeare, an old German writer.
00:02:34I live there.
00:02:35We move tonight.
00:02:37Orders from Berlin.
00:02:39Dr.
00:02:39Tobel is to be across the border before dawn.
00:02:42But we have had orders not to break into his house.
00:02:44And he hides there.
00:02:45Hasn't been outside in weeks.
00:02:47The Führer wants no trouble with Switzerland at the moment.
00:02:49We must be very careful.
00:02:51If we can't break in, he won't come out?
00:02:54When the Führer needs something as badly as he needs the Tobel bombsite, there is always a way.
00:02:59Dr. Tobel is interested in my scientific volumes.
00:03:04He's seen my forged Swiss papers, and he believes I come from Luzern.
00:03:09No, gentlemen.
00:03:10The price is much too low.
00:03:11I could not possibly sell so rare book for such a price.
00:03:14I will induce Dr. Tobel to come on a visit to my shop as we pass the alleyway.
00:03:22You are interested in this book?
00:03:24A rare old set of Bismarck papers.
00:03:29One last warning.
00:03:31I've just had word from Berlin.
00:03:33The English fine hunter will try to take Dr. Tobel from under our very eyes.
00:03:37They are sending a stupid, blinding, amateur detective.
00:03:40His name is Holmes, or Homs, or some such foolishness.
00:03:43You will never escape from Switzerland alive.
00:03:46Now, quick, let me throw another here, and watch for my signal from Dr. Tobel's window.
00:03:52But gentlemen, you promised to buy one of my books.
00:03:55I told you no.
00:03:56Ah, stop bothering us.
00:03:58Hey, not so great.
00:03:59A lift, please.
00:04:00A lift, please.
00:04:03Je trois fois, mais livre.
00:04:05Je trois fois, mais livre.
00:04:08Je vais faire ça.
00:04:08Allez, allez, ciao.
00:04:09Allez, ciao.
00:04:09Allez, ciao.
00:04:10Allez, ciao.
00:04:11Allez, ciao.
00:04:11Allez, ciao.
00:04:11Allez, ciao.
00:04:11Allez, ciao.
00:04:11Allez, ciao.
00:04:11Allez, ciao.
00:04:12French, English, how I hate those languages.
00:04:23Calm yourself, my dear Bron.
00:04:25In a short time, there will be only one language.
00:04:42Good evening, Dr. Tobel.
00:04:52I have here some very interesting scientific books.
00:04:56I thought you might like to see them.
00:04:58Please come in.
00:05:02He's entering the house.
00:05:03Quickly, get the car and have the motor running.
00:05:05I will follow.
00:05:07Herr Ex will have the Tobel bombsighted the furrow
00:05:09while this Holmes is still having his tea.
00:05:12What are you doing?
00:05:38I am sorry.
00:05:40For four months, every move I have made has been watched.
00:05:44I am not a coward, Mr. Holmes.
00:05:46They won't watch you anymore.
00:05:47Tonight, they intend to take you forcibly across the German border.
00:05:50Then why do we wait here, doing nothing, like rats in a trap?
00:05:54Calm yourself, my dear Dr. Tobel.
00:05:56We shall not only escape their trap,
00:05:58but we shall also take the cheese away with us.
00:06:01But how?
00:06:02The four sections of your bombsight fit inside these ponderous tomes.
00:06:08Although I must confess that I shite of the thought of
00:06:10disempowering a complete set of Charles Dickens.
00:06:13Ah, but you cannot hide me in a hollow book.
00:06:16My dear fellow,
00:06:17I am sorry that my good friend Dr. Watson isn't here to explain to you
00:06:20that my preparations are never slipshod.
00:06:22Stephan, Eric.
00:06:29Why do you call my servants?
00:06:31Your servants, yes.
00:06:32But tonight they assume new roles.
00:06:34Let me present Dr. Tobel and our old friend the bookseller.
00:06:37Holmes, it is so simple.
00:06:39Yes, the obvious always appears simple.
00:06:41Quick now.
00:06:42We must leave.
00:06:43Stephan, the knapsack.
00:06:44We must leave.
00:07:14Stephan and Eric are proving excellent coys.
00:07:32And the Gestapo has been fooled?
00:07:34Completely.
00:07:36Her servants are leading them into the next street.
00:07:39But what will happen to Stephan and Eric?
00:07:41Nothing, don't worry.
00:07:43I've taken care of that.
00:07:44The way is Kier.
00:07:47Come on, quick.
00:07:58You would take the Nazi's own car.
00:08:00One must adapt oneself to the tools at hand.
00:08:02Do you think you've made them believe you're a harmless old bookseller?
00:08:17Yes, I've always felt that a fellow knowledge of the classics might come in handy.
00:08:20But how can we get across the border and through France?
00:08:25But how can we get across the border and through France?
00:08:29There's no need to get across.
00:08:31At this very moment, a Royal Air Force plane is waiting for us at a secret landing place.
00:08:34How long before we arrive in London?
00:08:49How long before we arrive in London?
00:08:52In a very few minutes.
00:08:53We're passing over Dover now.
00:08:57You don't have to get used to our London blackouts, Dr. Tobel.
00:09:52Very untidy fellow.
00:09:55What are we going to do with these?
00:09:57A problem of the most elementary nature, my dear Dr. Tobel.
00:10:00You are going to keep them here?
00:10:09I have always believed in the theory, originally projected by Edgar Allan Poe, the American writer.
00:10:16But the best place to hide anything is where everyone can see it.
00:10:20Yes, but...
00:10:22You will remember, no doubt, in Poe's story, the furlough and leather.
00:10:27And the missive in question was always in plain view.
00:10:37Hands up, gentlemen.
00:10:38Scott and Yard, quick.
00:10:53Oh, my goodness.
00:10:54Good evening, Mrs. Hudson.
00:10:58Oh, why, it's Mr. Holmes.
00:11:01Holmes?
00:11:02Hello, Watson, old fellow.
00:11:03Good to see you again.
00:11:05Telephone.
00:11:07Hello?
00:11:07Who do you want?
00:11:09Oh, yes, you're Scotland Yard.
00:11:11I'm afraid there's been a little mistake.
00:11:13Well, you didn't get angry.
00:11:15We all make mistakes at times.
00:11:17What?
00:11:18Well, if we didn't, you'd be out of a job.
00:11:21Dr. Tobel, this is my friend and associate, and as you may have observed, my watchdog, Dr. Watson.
00:11:26How do you do, sir?
00:11:27How do you do?
00:11:27Dr. Tobel and I flew in from Zurich this evening.
00:11:29You can put that thing away now, Watson.
00:11:33Dr. Tobel?
00:11:34Awarded of amassing a request for physics in 1939.
00:11:38My dear Watson, there is only one Dr. Tobel.
00:11:41Without Mr. Holmes, there would have been no Dr. Tobel, I am afraid.
00:11:44But I thought you were living in America, sir.
00:11:46I have been working in Switzerland for the past two years.
00:11:49And Holmes got you out?
00:11:50In the nick of time.
00:11:52There was not a point he overlooked.
00:11:53Every contingency was foreseen and provided for.
00:11:57It was magnificent.
00:11:59Thank you, doctor.
00:12:00The problem was not without its interesting points.
00:12:02Is there anything you would like, Mr. Holmes?
00:12:04Oh, thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
00:12:06You can go to bed now.
00:12:07You gave me an awful fright dressed up like that.
00:12:10Well, good night, sir.
00:12:11He's quite right.
00:12:12You can't blame me for jumping to the conclusion that I did.
00:12:14He looked like a broken-down musician.
00:12:17Holmes, why didn't you take your fiddle with you?
00:12:20I never did think much of this dressing-up business.
00:12:23It was necessary, I assure you.
00:12:24The Gestapo was close in our heels.
00:12:26Oh, really?
00:12:28This is Sherlock Holmes.
00:12:29I want to speak to Sir Reginald Bailey, please.
00:12:31Reginald Bailey?
00:12:32Is that the fellow who played Raga for Blackheath?
00:12:34Yes, Watson.
00:12:35Oh.
00:12:35Hello, Sir Reginald.
00:12:38Holmes speaking.
00:12:40Yes, from Baker Street.
00:12:41I have Dr. Tobel with me.
00:12:44Oh, thank you.
00:12:46Very well, then.
00:12:47I'll meet you in half an hour.
00:12:49There must be no delay.
00:12:50I'll arrange with Sir Reginald to have the test tomorrow morning.
00:12:53I suggest that only cabinet ministers and your best aviation experts be present.
00:12:57Naturally.
00:12:58Watson, I leave Dr. Tobel in your care.
00:13:00Give him a sedative.
00:13:00This has been a strenuous business, and he has a long day ahead of him again tomorrow.
00:13:03Oh, certainly, Holmes, of course.
00:13:05He shall sleep in my bedroom.
00:13:06I'll keep watch till you return.
00:13:08It is not necessary to guard me.
00:13:10I am quite safe now.
00:13:12Safe, Dr. Tobel?
00:13:14I shouldn't count on it for a second.
00:13:15But, Mr. Holmes...
00:13:16A great deal may depend on your safety.
00:13:18And the enemy understands that just as well as we do.
00:13:21Good night.
00:13:27Keep a light, Watson.
00:13:28Yes, of course.
00:13:29A couple of these, and you'll sleep peacefully through a blitz.
00:13:33You'd better start undressing at once, or you'll find yourself fast asleep in the middle of taking off your trousers.
00:13:38Well, I'll sit over here and keep an eye on things.
00:13:41Oh, by the way, if you're nervous, call out.
00:13:45Good night, Doctor.
00:13:46Good night, Doctor.
00:13:48I thought I was supposed to say the same thing at the same time.
00:13:51Good night, Doctor.
00:13:52Good night, Doctor.
00:13:53Good night, Doctor.
00:13:57No, sir.
00:14:02I'm tired of follow, Holmes.
00:14:33Hello.
00:14:42Yes, I just arrived about an hour ago.
00:14:44It is most important that I see you at once.
00:14:48No, no. I cannot explain.
00:14:52It is now five minutes past midnight.
00:14:55I leave at once.
00:14:57Goodbye.
00:15:03Holmes, I do not have to tell you how much this means to us.
00:15:17We shall know a great deal more about the bombsite after the demonstration, Sir Reginald.
00:15:21The war office have a pretty good idea of the value of the Tobel bombsite, just as the Nazis have.
00:15:28However, oh, if you'd care to place Dr. Tobel under the protection of Scotland Yard until...
00:15:35No, no, Morrow. No, that won't be necessary.
00:15:37I shall personally deliver Dr. Tobel to your representatives on Salisbury Plain in plenty of time for the demonstration.
00:15:43Good night, Sir Reginald.
00:15:45Good night, Mr. Holmes.
00:15:46Good night.
00:16:13Good night, Mr. Holmes.
00:16:43Good night, Sir Reginald.
00:17:14I must get back before they miss me.
00:17:16We've been separated for so long.
00:17:18I couldn't bear it if anything should part us again.
00:17:21I want to work with you, and I want to know every minute where you are.
00:17:25Even for you to know the details of my mission in London is to sign your death warrant.
00:17:31If you are in real danger, I want to share it.
00:17:33There is one thing you can do.
00:17:40God, this envelope.
00:17:42If anything happens to me, see that it reaches the hands of Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:17:46Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:17:48Yes.
00:17:49I pray I never have to deliver it.
00:17:51Tell me.
00:17:51Help!
00:18:12Help!
00:18:14He got away.
00:18:32Are you all right, sir?
00:18:33I think so.
00:18:36It must have been a robber.
00:18:37Since the blackout, those bodies have become quite a nuisance, sir.
00:18:41I say you better come with me and have that fixed up.
00:18:44It must have been on my arm.
00:18:45That's it.
00:19:06Watson!
00:19:07Watson, wake up!
00:19:08Huh?
00:19:09Where's Colbert?
00:19:10He's in there.
00:19:11No, he isn't.
00:19:12He's gone.
00:19:12That's impossible.
00:19:13He's asleep in my bed.
00:19:14I've been here all the time.
00:19:15If anything's happened to him.
00:19:19Tobel!
00:19:21All right?
00:19:22Ah, it is nothing.
00:19:23Here, sit down here.
00:19:24Well, let's have a look.
00:19:31Well, it doesn't look too bad.
00:19:32Who patched you up?
00:19:33The police doctor?
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35He looks as if you've been attacked.
00:19:36Obviously, my dear Watson.
00:19:38Dr. Tobel, do you suspect the woman of arranging the trap?
00:19:41Woman?
00:19:42What woman?
00:19:42She's blonde, five foot six, full-lipped and very affectionate.
00:19:45Oh, really?
00:19:46You've known her for a long time.
00:19:48You were attacked after leaving her apartment.
00:19:50Holmes, how do you know this?
00:19:51The face powder on your coat tells me of her height and her affection for you.
00:19:55You held her close before departing.
00:19:58This is a studio, Holmes.
00:19:58It's all there for the trained eye to read, Watson.
00:20:01But look here.
00:20:01Why couldn't he have been attacked on his way to the woman's apartment?
00:20:04The mark of a blow has erased some of the powder.
00:20:07Obviously, if the attack came first, the powder would have remained undisturbed.
00:20:10And the forelips?
00:20:11That was a guess.
00:20:12I never guess, Watson.
00:20:15You have rubbed the lipstick from your face with the handkerchief you now hold in your hand.
00:20:19And that amount of lipstick never came from a pair of thin lips.
00:20:23And the blonde hair?
00:20:27Good gracious, William.
00:20:29Mr. Holmes, I am glad you are on my side.
00:20:31Well, in that case, you will desist from disobeying my orders and slipping out.
00:20:34While your bodyguard sleeps his watch away.
00:20:39It won't happen again, Holmes.
00:20:41I was sitting in front of the fire.
00:20:42All right, all right.
00:20:43I'm sorry.
00:20:44Now, can you describe your assailant?
00:20:47I never saw him.
00:20:49A great figure came at me in the dark.
00:20:52I felt a stunning blow on my head and instantly fingers were at my throat.
00:20:56But you must have noticed something about him.
00:20:58Think, man.
00:20:59A thing of little consequence to you may mean a great deal to me.
00:21:02Wait.
00:21:02Wait a moment.
00:21:03There was one thing.
00:21:06Long fingers at my throat like steel.
00:21:10And then an odor.
00:21:13A heavy drug-like odor.
00:21:14A drug?
00:21:15Opium?
00:21:16That is it.
00:21:17I am sure of it now.
00:21:19Well, I suggest we get the remains of a good night's sleep.
00:21:23Remember, the test takes place tomorrow morning on Salisbury Plain.
00:21:33The principle of Dr. Tobel's device involves the use of three sonic beams.
00:21:38Is that right, sir?
00:21:39That appears to be it.
00:21:40There he is.
00:21:49There he is.
00:21:49We're on the course now, sir.
00:22:02Well, gentlemen...
00:22:06I'll see you.
00:22:22well gentlemen that load would sink any ship in the world we must consider the possibility of
00:22:37good piloting and a lucky hit i'd like to see another try of it so would i they want you to

00:24:45but you you offered it to our government for our use everything mr holmes has done has been with
00:24:51that idea in view i still offer it to your government but no one else will know the secrets involved
00:24:58i have devised a plan to guard my invention a plan as intricate as the bomb site itself
00:25:04if you imagine for one moment please
00:25:06i will not change my mind sir reginald
00:25:10i am taking the matter into my own hands
00:25:12just what do you propose to do dr tobel i am sorry i cannot reveal the details of my plan for the

00:28:32but it serves me right for listening to that crack-brained idea of his he dismissed lestrade's
00:28:36men and they went leaving him here alone and unguarded holmes if anything has happened to
00:28:41too well if his invention falls into the hands of germany it would be a major disaster for england
00:28:46christmas wrapping he did his christmas shopping in plenty of time yes curious
00:28:53do you do you know serving homes scent perfume yes i noticed it the moment we entered the room
00:29:01clear alone one of the rarer essences and very expensive that woman again undoubtedly
00:29:11give me inspector lestrade shellac holmes calling so holmes is finally stumped first time i've heard
00:29:21him call for help call for help indeed he's only just beginning his investigation lestrade this is
00:29:27holmes check the records and trace a call made on my private telephone at baker street at approximately
00:29:3212 o'clock on the night of dr tobell's arrival in london finally stumped hey sir reginald yes lestrade
00:29:39wait a minute shallot abely 34 st george's street flat b excellent lestrade thank you
00:29:54where is dr tobell i can't tell you you mean you won't tell me i don't know how many christmas packages

00:30:10boxes is that correct pardon me hello yes this is miss abely why why someone must have stolen it

00:30:43now i can be frank with you mr holmes dr tobell has disappeared they found my car on richmond bypass
00:30:50wrecked i loaned it to him last night for what purpose miss abely he wouldn't tell me but he said that if
00:30:57anything should happen to him i want to give you this homes then he must have expected something
00:31:04yes this envelope has been opened and resealed but that isn't possible it hasn't been out of my hands
00:31:17we meet again mr holmes what why that's not the message it isn't even the same paper
00:31:24i saw dr tobell draw little uh sets of figures what kind of figures well they they looked like little
00:31:30dancing men dancing men that's curious who's been in this apartment since dr tobell entrusted that
00:31:37envelope to your care and no one i've had no visitors think possibly a tradesman no only the one for a few
00:31:47minutes and that one a workman he came to fix my light switch he couldn't have possibly did you send
00:31:54for him i know my lights went out and soon afterwards he knocked at my door and told
00:31:59me the porter had sent him up that's where he worked
00:32:05but he wasn't alone in this room more than five minutes and he did fix the lights they went on again
00:32:10the switch hasn't been touched the paint still covers the screw heads he simply threw the main
00:32:16switch in the basement pretended to work on this one and after a few moments and a compass threw the
00:32:21main switch back on but in those few minutes did you get a look at his face no only a glance now i
00:32:28realize he kept his face averted but he was a large man yes he was large his eyes heavy lidded
00:32:32a thin film over the pupils and homes if i remember now his eyes they were like a snake's miss abelie
00:32:39dr tobell is being held by one of the most brilliant men in the history of crime come on
00:32:43watson there isn't a moment to lose goodbye miss abelie oh goodbye miss abelie i don't see why i'm not
00:32:52allowed to go with you you have your own mission watson yes to take a seal note to inspector lestrade
00:32:57while you search soho i will not be searching for him i shall permit him to find me in the
00:33:02character of a murderous lascar once in his employ and whom i may add is still in jail yes but after
00:33:08all these years make no mistake watson this is not a duel of intellects with a cruel but single-minded
00:33:15gestapo killer this is our greatest problem with england as the stake and our antagonist professor
00:33:25mariachi we've got to beat him once he's behind bars i think i shall entitle my memoirs of these

00:38:41I would say I would say you were wrong and Mr. Sherlock Holmes was correct
00:38:44good evening Professor Moriarty
00:38:47welcome Holmes
00:38:49my men have instructions to bring anybody here who inquires for me
00:38:52they haggle while I watch
00:38:55an admirable disguise by the way
00:38:57it fooled them completely
00:38:59of course it didn't fool me
00:39:00I never intended that it should
00:39:02I meant only that it should bring us face to face
00:39:05just like old times eh
00:39:08a battle of wits
00:39:10of superior intellects
00:39:12I may say I've been expecting you
00:39:14since I made off of your precious Dr. Tobel
00:39:16and his code
00:39:18ah yes
00:39:18and his code
00:39:20but valuable as your doctor and his code are to my business
00:39:25I think my main interest in this affair
00:39:28is the chance he gives me to battle with you again
00:39:32Moriarty
00:39:38this is no simple crime that you contemplate
00:39:42it's a staggering blow against your own country
00:39:45that doesn't concern me overly
00:39:47I shall make greater profit from this affair
00:39:50than all my other adventures put together
00:39:52then you refuse
00:39:54oh most assuredly
00:39:56in fact I intend to ensure the success of this venture tonight
00:40:00by liquidating you Mr. Holmes
00:40:03I think that is the American phrase
00:40:06quite
00:40:07you the one man intelligent enough to stand in my way
00:40:10a gun
00:40:13oh come now
00:40:15this is not the Professor Moriarty
00:40:17the master criminal I once knew
00:40:19a dock rat could do as much
00:40:21did you think I was going to shoot you Mr. Holmes
00:40:23oh
00:40:24dear me no
00:40:26this is simply to prevent a troublesome scene
00:40:29I expected you
00:40:31and made full arrangements
00:40:33you see my good Mr. Holmes
00:40:37these shelves lift out
00:40:39and you will rest
00:40:42somewhat uncomfortably
00:40:43in the false bottom
00:40:45of the sea chest
00:40:46my sailor friend
00:40:48Jack Brady
00:40:48goes to sea immediately
00:40:50once out of sight of land
00:40:52he
00:40:52pushes the chest
00:40:54overboard
00:40:55time up
00:40:57perhaps your good friend Dr. Watson
00:41:02can entitle this adventure
00:41:05the end of Sherlock Holmes
00:41:07he will be disappointed
00:41:09he intended to call it
00:41:11the end of Professor Moriarty
00:41:13hurry
00:41:14awesome
00:41:15brilliant man Sherlock Holmes

00:43:32look at those men
00:43:33staggering
00:43:34you've hit on something
00:43:35doctor
00:43:36a few tools
00:43:37wouldn't take that
00:43:37much energy
00:43:38you've just looked
00:43:39inside
00:43:39on the top only

00:44:10so abruptly
00:44:10they dropped me
00:44:12on my head
00:44:13oh
00:44:13Moriarty would have
00:44:14been delighted
00:44:14so professor Moriarty
00:44:16is alive
00:44:17alive and in possession
00:44:18of dr. Tobel's code
00:44:19no good going back
00:44:20they've all gone
00:44:21then what are you
00:44:21going to do
00:44:22well first I'm going
00:44:22to watch this filthy
00:44:23stuff off my face
00:44:24then I'm going to
00:44:25see miss Everly again
00:44:26I've got to find
00:44:28some clue to the
00:44:28content of dr. Tobel's
00:44:29message come on
00:44:30quick
00:44:30I only got one glimpse
00:44:32of the note while
00:44:33he was preparing it
00:44:34he was seated at this
00:44:37desk
00:44:37no he was sitting on
00:44:40the couch when he
00:44:40wrote the message
00:44:41but he sealed the
00:44:42envelope here
00:44:42the message was
00:44:43written in ink
00:44:43with this pen
00:44:44no he used a pencil
00:44:45this one
00:44:46thank you
00:44:46use this writing
00:44:51pad
00:44:51yes
00:44:51has it been
00:44:52used since
00:44:52no
00:44:52they should be
00:44:56here
00:44:56they must be
00:44:58here
00:44:58what Mr. Holmes
00:44:59the letter
00:44:59in this pencil
00:45:00is hard
00:45:00hard enough
00:45:01to make an
00:45:02impression
00:45:02on the coarse
00:45:02fibers of which
00:45:03this paper is
00:45:04made
00:45:04impressions of the
00:45:12sheet in a solution
00:45:13of fluorescent salts
00:45:15dry it and then
00:45:16photograph it by
00:45:18ultraviolet light
00:45:19the fibers broken by the
00:45:23writing will absorb less
00:45:25of the solution than
00:45:26other parts of the
00:45:26paper
00:45:26switch off the
00:45:30lights Watson
00:45:30we place the slide in
00:45:37the projector
00:45:37and turn on the light
00:45:39the broken fibers appear
00:45:43darker than the rest of
00:45:44the paper
00:45:45and are therefore
00:45:47visible
00:45:47splendid Holmes
00:45:49now I recognize that
00:45:51code
00:45:51do you remember a case
00:45:52we had some years ago
00:45:53it's probably the same
00:45:55alphabet substitution code
00:45:56yes Watson
00:45:56I believe Dr. Tobel
00:45:59meant to communicate with us
00:45:59but that means
00:46:00substitution of the alphabet
00:46:01I don't understand
00:46:03my dear
00:46:04one of the oldest codes
00:46:05in use
00:46:05is based on the
00:46:06repetition of figures
00:46:07E is the letter
00:46:08most used in the
00:46:09British language
00:46:10therefore the figure
00:46:11most used
00:46:12probably in this message
00:46:14is E
00:46:14T
00:46:16A
00:46:17O
00:46:17I
00:46:18and N
00:46:18follow in that
00:46:19order of frequency
00:46:20you mean you can
00:46:21read these figures
00:46:22as if they were
00:46:22letters of the alphabet
00:46:23elementary my dear
00:46:24Miss Abla
00:46:25give me one minute
00:46:26and you shall have
00:46:27the message
00:46:27and what is the
00:46:33message Watson
00:46:34this fellow Tobel
00:46:36must have been
00:46:36pulling our legs
00:46:37it's a lot of gibberish
00:46:38I Y Z L M T H K
00:46:42reads like an
00:46:43eye doctor's chart
00:46:44Dr. Tobel is a
00:46:45brilliant scientist
00:46:46I saw immediately
00:46:47that he wouldn't
00:46:48send us a message
00:46:48so simple to decipher
00:46:49neither would he
00:46:51affix these top figures
00:46:52without a meaning
00:46:52then it isn't
00:46:53the alphabet substitution
00:46:54code
00:46:54yes it is Watson
00:46:55but with a very
00:46:56clever variation
00:46:57you see
00:46:59the one two three
00:47:00figures means
00:47:01that we skip
00:47:01letters in that order
00:47:02in other words
00:47:03observe Watson
00:47:04the first letter
00:47:06which is I
00:47:07skips one
00:47:08and becomes J
00:47:09the second letter
00:47:10Y
00:47:11skips two
00:47:13and becomes A
00:47:14and the third
00:47:14skips three
00:47:15and becomes C
00:47:16J A C
00:47:17J A C
00:47:19O B
00:47:20D
00:47:21U
00:47:22R
00:47:23R
00:47:23E
00:47:24R
00:47:24Jacob Durer
00:47:25a Swiss scientist
00:47:26and founder of Dr. Tobel's

00:47:36E
00:47:36S
00:47:37Paris Crescent
00:47:38right
00:47:38I say Holmes
00:47:40this man Durer must be
00:47:41important
00:47:42obviously Watson
00:47:43he must have some
00:47:44connection with the bomb
00:47:45site
00:47:45or Tobel wouldn't have
00:47:47taken so much trouble
00:47:47to see that I got his name
00:47:48take down the rest of the message
00:47:49J
00:47:51O
00:47:52S
00:47:53E

00:47:58D
00:47:59I
00:48:00A
00:48:00C
00:48:01number four doesn't make
00:48:02any sense
00:48:02he must have used some
00:48:04other variations
00:48:04four names and addresses
00:48:10Jacob Durer
00:48:12Professor Farrell
00:48:13Dr. Kern
00:48:14and this fourth
00:48:16infernal cipher
00:48:17which doesn't fit the code
00:48:18Christmas boxes
00:48:23Watson
00:48:25I'm beginning to see
00:48:27the plan
00:48:28Dr. Tobel
00:48:30divided his bomb
00:48:31site
00:48:31into four parts
00:48:33just as we brought it
00:48:34back from Switzerland
00:48:35he's given one section
00:48:37of the mechanism
00:48:38to each of these famous scientists
00:48:40what a fascinating plan
00:48:43you see
00:48:44each part is useless
00:48:46without the other three
00:48:47and undoubtedly
00:48:48none of these scientists
00:48:49is known to each other
00:48:50Professor Moriarty
00:48:52also has the code
00:48:53and we must allow
00:48:55for his ability
00:48:55to decipher it
00:48:56we haven't time
00:48:59to break the fourth code now
00:49:00we must get to the first
00:49:01three men
00:49:02before Moriarty dance
00:49:02Paris Crescent first

00:50:34before I telephoned
00:50:35what on earth
00:50:36are we going to do
00:50:36Holmes
00:50:36Moriarty's got a big stud
00:50:38and he's got the code
00:50:39nope this Watson
00:50:40Scotland Yard
00:50:41reports two murders
00:50:42that makes three in all
00:50:43but there were four boxes
00:50:44and four codes
00:50:45obviously Moriarty
00:50:47hasn't broken
00:50:47the fourth code either
00:50:48what is the name
00:50:59of the fourth man
00:51:00I can't remember
00:51:01what is the name
00:51:02of the fourth man
00:51:03I have forgotten
00:51:06what is the name
00:51:07of the fourth man
00:51:08I don't know
00:51:09I don't know
00:51:10what is the name
00:51:11of the fourth man
00:51:12I can't remember
00:51:14what is the name
00:51:17of the fourth man
00:51:19Holmes don't you realize
00:51:21what this means to England
00:51:22we not only lose
00:51:23the Tobel bomb site
00:51:24ourselves
00:51:25but Germany gets it
00:51:26Coventry
00:51:27Bath
00:51:27Plymouth
00:51:28London
00:51:28not to mention
00:51:29Nori Jinald
00:51:30all over again
00:51:31but with ten times
00:51:32the effect
00:51:33don't you suppose
00:51:35I realize that's
00:51:36Reginald
00:51:37don't you suppose
00:51:39I'd give my life
00:51:40to code the last name
00:51:40of that message
00:51:41there must be
00:51:42some solution
00:51:42naturally Watson
00:51:44you mean be rude
00:51:46I need a drink
00:51:47I'm all in
00:51:48I can't think anymore
00:51:49all these letters
00:51:50and figures
00:51:51whirling through my brain
00:51:52it's all twisted round
00:51:53twisted round
00:51:59huh
00:51:59that's it
00:52:01that's what
00:52:01twisted around
00:52:03you said
00:52:03so simple
00:52:04I never thought of it
00:52:05reverse the slide
00:52:07you see gentlemen
00:52:10these figures
00:52:12are now identical
00:52:13with the first three names
00:52:14in other words
00:52:15all the figures
00:52:16of name number four
00:52:17are written backwards
00:52:19and read from right to left
00:52:20until we reverse the slide
00:52:22when they read correctly
00:52:23from left to right
00:52:25now let's work on it
00:52:27pencil Watson
00:52:27but um
00:52:30why would Dr. Tobel
00:52:32want to reverse
00:52:33the figures of number four
00:52:35an added precaution
00:52:36Lestrade
00:52:36in case the cypher
00:52:37should fall into the wrong hands
00:52:38quite a compliment
00:52:40to you Mr. Holmes
00:52:41I mean
00:52:42Tobel
00:52:43taking for granted
00:52:44that you
00:52:45would recognize
00:52:46the difference
00:52:46thank you
00:52:47F-R-E-D-E
00:52:51R-I-C-K-H-O-F-F-M-E-R
00:52:59Frederick Hoffner
00:53:00S-L-O-A-N-E-S-Q-U
00:53:05Sloan Square
00:53:07we must leave it once
00:53:08wait a minute
00:53:09information
00:53:15will you please give me the address
00:53:18of a Frederick Hoffner
00:53:20in Sloan Square
00:53:21I'll break this code
00:53:23I'll find the name of that fourth man
00:53:27before Holmes does
00:53:28there is not much more time
00:53:31the submarine is to pick us up
00:53:33off Sheerness in six hours
00:53:35I've beaten Holmes so far
00:53:36we'll meet your confounded submarine
00:53:38with the bomb site intact
00:53:40but Tobel is unconscious again
00:53:42as last resort
00:53:44we could abandon the code
00:53:45and take Tobel to Germany
00:53:46we'll try Tobel again in here
00:53:49wait
00:53:54spilling that glass of water
00:53:57was a very fortunate accident
00:53:58my dear street brother
00:53:59Dr. Tobel's perversion
00:54:01of the cipher was so simple
00:54:03that it fooled us
00:54:04I was looking for something ingenious
00:54:06this is ingenuous
00:54:08he simply reversed the cipher
00:54:11f-r-e-d-e-r-i-c-k-h-o-f-f-n-e-r-s-l-o-a-n-e
00:54:33Frederick Hoffner
00:54:36Sloan Square
00:54:38of course
00:54:40Hoffner would be the perfect selection
00:54:43then you want us to attend to Hoffner?
00:54:46no
00:54:46we can use Hoffner
00:54:47he's a brilliant scientist
00:54:48if Dr. Tobel doesn't recover
00:54:50from your persuasion
00:54:52Hoffner will be able
00:54:53to put the four parts together
00:54:54you and Godfrey will call on Hoffner
00:54:56and you will bring him here
00:54:58with the fourth section
00:54:59of the bomb site
00:55:00hurry
00:55:00put up your hands
00:55:23Professor Hoffner
00:55:24come over
00:55:31took him
00:55:32let me see
00:55:33let me see
00:55:34how is it
00:55:35let me see
00:55:36he's locked
00:55:37it
00:55:38izing
00:55:41how is it
00:55:42there
00:55:43it
00:55:43it
00:55:44öll
00:55:45he's invisible
00:55:46but
00:55:46and
00:55:47he'll
00:55:47he'll
00:55:47take
00:55:49that
00:55:50I'll take the box.
00:56:20We'll meet again, Professor.
00:56:39Sherlock Holmes.
00:56:42An improvement on the other makeup?
00:56:44Don't you think so, Professor?
00:56:47So you think you've beaten me, Holmes?
00:56:49I have.
00:56:50The real Hoffner is safely in the hands of Scotland Yard.
00:56:54But I still have Tobel.
00:56:55Now I shall sell Germany the inventor instead of the invention.
00:57:00You've learned nothing from him in spite of all your torture.
00:57:03Otherwise you wouldn't be trying so desperately to collect the four sections of the bombsite.
00:57:06A keen observation, my dear Holmes.
00:57:09But observe further that you are now in my hands, and I have profited by my last mistake
00:57:15of allowing underlings to attend to you.
00:57:17Holmes took my place, and while the Nazis were inside with him, he instructed me to
00:57:22attach a small apparatus underneath their car.
00:57:24He's a brilliant fellow, Holmes.
00:57:25I helped him prepare the apparatus.
00:57:27Did you really, Doctor?
00:57:28That is, I poured in the luminous paint when you told me to.
00:57:31Very clever, Doctor Watson.
00:57:32The apparatus drips at regular intervals, leaving a trail of luminous paint.
00:57:36I see.
00:57:37I see.
00:57:38Leading us to Moriarty and Mr. Ohm.
00:57:43Why are you so confident, Professor?
00:57:53Only a suggestion.
00:57:55But how do you know that Scotland Yard isn't waiting to break in at this very moment?
00:57:58I selected this address with special care.
00:58:01No one can find it.
00:58:02Not even Scotland Yard.
00:58:03Relax, Mr. Holmes.
00:58:05There's no escape.
00:58:06I might suddenly dash to the window, break it open, and shout to a passer-by.
00:58:15There are no passers-by.
00:58:17The glass in the window is unbreakable, and the room is sound-proof.
00:58:22This is my stronghold, Holmes, equipped with all the modern conveniences of a successful
00:58:28man in my profession.
00:58:30Sit down.
00:58:32They've faded out again, sir.
00:58:44I don't understand, Lestrade.
00:58:51It stopped, and then it started, and now it's stopped again.
00:58:57Maybe the apparatus broke down.
00:58:59Oh, a suggestion, gentlemen, had a crossroad back there, a car might have gone over the
00:59:04spots of paint, picked some up on the tyres, and left his false trail.
00:59:08That's just what I was about to suggest myself.
00:59:11Very well.
00:59:12We'll try it.
00:59:13Now, Holmes, what shall it be?
00:59:16The gas chamber?
00:59:17The cup of hemlock?
00:59:18Or just a simple bullet through your brain?
00:59:19You disappointed me, Professor.
00:59:20Indeed?
00:59:21Yes.
00:59:22Yes.
00:59:23Somehow I always thought that in the end, you'd prove to be just an ordinary cutthroat.
00:59:28You know me better, Holmes.
00:59:29Gas, poison, bullets.
00:59:31I assure you, Professor.
00:59:32I assure you, Professor, were our positions reversed, I should have something more colourful, more imaginative to offer.
00:59:46Hmm.
00:59:47I'm satisfied to be the winner.
00:59:48I shall be alive.
00:59:49Alive, yes.
00:59:50The winner?
00:59:51No.
00:59:52No.
00:59:53For in the last analysis, I shall have proved the more resourceful man.
00:59:55You didn't trap me here.
00:59:57I came here because I wanted to, to prevent your getting Hoffner.
00:59:58And all you can do in return is to commit ordinary murder, to relieve your sense of frustration.
01:00:02And what, my good Mr. Holmes could you have conceived that would have been so much more colourful?
01:00:14Well, even offhand, I can improve upon your suggestions considerably.
01:00:20But that's only natural.
01:00:31But that's only natural, of course.
01:00:32And what is this brilliant idea of yours?
01:00:36You know that a man dies if he loses five pints of blood.
01:00:39Yes, of course you do.
01:00:41I should have you placed on an operating table.
01:00:44Inject a needle into your veins and slowly draw off your life's blood.
01:00:49The needle to the last.
01:00:52Eh, Holmes?
01:00:53Slowly, drop by drop, the blood would be drawn from your body.
01:00:58You would be aware of every exquisite second to the very end.
01:01:02You would be watching yourself die scientifically,
01:01:05noting every reaction and in full possession of your faculties.
01:01:10Interesting.
01:01:12Yes, isn't it?
01:01:14I humbly submit, Professor, that to the very end,
01:01:17I've been more resourceful than yourself.
01:01:21You've played it to my hands, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:01:23Time and again I've used this place as a haven for friends of mine,
01:01:28injured in altercations with Scotland Yard.
01:01:33I have a fully equipped hospital here.
01:01:36The trail goes this way, Inspector.
01:01:57The trail goes this way, Inspector.
01:01:57Drop by drop, Holmes.
01:02:09Drop by drop.
01:02:13In a way, I'm almost sorry.
01:02:17You were a stimulating influence to me.
01:02:21But it was obvious that I should win in the end.
01:02:24Only a matter of moments now.
01:02:30Take Toebel down to the boat.
01:02:32Start the engine.
01:02:43Closer to the end, Holmes.
01:02:46Closer and closer.
01:02:48Each second, a few more drops leave your desiccated body.
01:02:55And you conceal them, can't you?
01:03:01You're perfectly conscious, aren't you, Holmes?
01:03:05I shall be conscious
01:03:07long after you're dead, Moriarty.
01:03:11Still the same old, swaggering, conceited Sherlock Holmes.
01:03:29Wait.
01:03:30If Moriarty is a shot, he'll kill Holmes.
01:03:39You keep an eye on the boat.
01:03:40Don't make a move till Dr. Watson and I get inside.
01:03:43Understand?
01:03:44You wait here, Professor Ophner.
01:03:46Come on, Doctor.
01:03:47The water's this way.
01:04:05Moriarty's rooms must be up here.
01:04:07I can't wait any longer, Holmes.
01:04:25You'll have to forgive the crudity, my friend.
01:04:30This is only the coup de grace.
01:04:34Stand still, Moriarty, or dumpor.
01:04:37Holmes!
01:04:40On the contrary, Inspector, my men are outside.
01:04:42It's you who are done for.
01:04:44Really?
01:04:46Just take a look out the window.
01:04:48And see for yourself.
01:04:59He'll try to get to the speedboat.
01:05:01Yes, he won't go without Tavu.
01:05:02Come on.
01:05:03Wait.
01:05:07Here's Dr. Tobel, Inspector.
01:05:22He ain't too badly hurt.
01:05:24Thank heavens for that.
01:05:25Look after him, will you, Ophner?
01:05:26I'll take him to the car.
01:05:27I expected you, but not with my revolver.
01:05:50Sir, you'll realize, of course, when I was brought into the room blindfolded, that I heard the mechanism of this door.
01:05:56Of course.
01:05:57And yet, knowing that I'd heard it, you planned this way of escape.
01:06:00Not very flattering to me.
01:06:01Suicide, my dear professor.
01:06:03Not at all, my dear Holmes.
01:06:05You see, this is not an ordinary passageway.
01:06:08Oh, my mistake.
01:06:10It has been as equally well prepared as the rest of my humble quarters.
01:06:14I have a trap set.
01:06:16Electric eye principle.
01:06:17My passing through will break the beam and automatically open the highly deceptive trap door.
01:06:23Behind me, of course, my pursuer, meaning you, my dear Holmes, will then be plunged 60 feet into the sewers below.
01:06:32Holmes!
01:06:39Holmes!
01:06:39Holmes!
01:06:40Holmes!
01:06:42Poor Moriarty.
01:06:44I neglected to warn him.
01:06:47It seems some careless person came across his trap door and left it open.
01:06:52Come along, Watson.
01:07:03Germany wanted the Tobel bombsite.
01:07:06We'll send her thousands of them in RAF planes.
01:07:09Holmes!
01:07:10Yes.
01:07:11Thanks to Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:07:14And to Mrs. Tobel.
01:07:16And, of course, Inspector Lestrade.
01:07:19Oh, that's all right, miss.
01:07:26Things are looking up, Holmes.
01:07:28This little island's still on the map.
01:07:30Yes.
01:07:33This fortress, built by nature for herself.
01:07:39This blessed plot.
01:07:42This earth, this realm.
01:07:45This England.
01:07:45This.
01:07:55This.
01:07:57It.
01:07:59It.
01:08:01It.
01:08:07It.
