Patient, Doctor.

Why are you here?

I'm getting married.... tomorrow?

Oh... Embrace me.

Watson's getting married.

You lost a few pounds.

And you picked them up.

nurturing on Mary's muffins no doubt.

Pour us a brandy.

The stag party has begun.

It's our last adventure Watson..

I intend to make the most of it.

I see you've made good use of my old office.

Do you like my spider's web.

Is that what you call it?

Follow that strand.

Question?.

What does a scandal about

an intern cotton tycoon,

The overdose of a Chinese opium trader,

Bombings in Strasbourg and Vienna,

And the death of a steel magnate

in America all have in common?.

Well, according to your diorama.

Professor James Moriarty.

Indeed.

Mathematical genius,

Celebrated author and lecturer.

Boxing champion in Cambridge.

Where he made friends with our current Prime Minister.

Do you have any evidence

to substantiate your claim?

Hmm...

Taps ...This

Now do you see?

Dr. Hoffmanstahl's Death?

Yes, I've heard you speak of him.

Extolling his virtues

Hoffmanstahl was at the forefront of

medical innovations... a true pioneer.

Just the other day, I averted an

explosion that was intended for him.

It says here he died of heart attack.

Has all my instuction been for not?

You still read the offical statment and believe it?

It's a game, Dear man, A shadowy game.

We're playing cat and mouse,

the professor and I.

Cloak and dagger.

I thought it was spider and fly.

Im not a fly, I am a cat.

Not a mouse, But a dagger.

You're Drinking embalming fluid.

Ohhh Yes

Care for a drop?

- You do seem ...

- Excited?

- Maniac.

- I am

-Verging on ...

-Ecstatic

-Psychotic

I should've brought you a sedative.

I'll give my life to see his demise.

He must be stopped, Before his

evil machinations come to a crescendo.

And how will you do all this?

Don't be a dingy bird.

Bad people do bad things because they can.

No one!, Not the victims, The

police, The governments..., Not anyone!.

Except the great Sherlock Holmes.

Correct.

On this diet.. Will work it all out.

-Right.

-Or thereabouts

Thereabouts

Not quite that

Here's to your good health.

Clinks glasses

Dingy bird

Moaning... Thump on floor

What you did to Gladstone now?!

Ricinus Communis.... The fruit is highly toxic.

He's barely breathing.

It was an excellent opportunity.

This may be just the thing.

Loud Thump... Squeling

I hope you do not mind terribly

if I tried my adrenal extract.

How many times are you going

to kill my dog, Holmes?

Dog yelps... Barks

-He took off like a monkey from a box.

-Hmm

I may need one of those in a few hours.

Consider it a wedding gift

Watson?

Might we use an alternative exit?
