Of course, you recognize

the importance of time.

Quite.

And results.

Mr. Lloyd, I'm quite sure

that Mr. Holmes can be

trusted not to fail.

He never has, you know.

Why thank you, Watson.

The word is seldom.

Good-bye, Sir Evan.

Good-bye, sir.

Good-bye, Barham.

Good-bye, Watson.

Well, should we walk from

here or take a taxi?

I'm afraid we

have no choice.

Huh?

You know, Watson,

I have a feeling that when

we go out of that door

a girl will be waiting.

A girl?

What do you mean?

A young lady whom

neither of us

has ever seen before

will come forward

to greet us.

Holmes, now you're

pulling my leg again.

Mr. Holmes, I'm

Jill Grandis.

How do you?

This is my friend,

Dr. Watson.

How do you do?

How do you do?

I've been assigned

to drive you around.

Thank you.

Good gracious me.

Where do you wish to go?

Baker street.

I know, 221 B.

Come on, Watson.

Hurry up old fellow.

Holmes, the girl waiting,

what an

extraordinary thing.

Elementary my dear Watson.

No, no, no.

It's an amazing deduction.

How on earth did

you arrive at it?

Barham told me.

Huh?

Oh.

Don't you worry,

Mrs. Hudson.

Just giving it a

bit of a cleaning.

Now that we're

on a case again.

See, the joints

are a bit rusted

like mine, you know.

Is he back on

a case again?

Case?

It's the greatest

case of his,

of our career.

Oh, mercy it always is.

Holmes,

I say Holmes.

What?

Well, if you ask me

it's disgraceful,

Beethoven's Fifth.

Not at all,

it's very good.

Sir Ronald Hedley

is conducting

very well tonight.

I don't mean the concert.

No?

England is in danger.

Heaven knows what

frightful disaster

is happening and

you sit there calm

and listen to

the wireless.

Music has charms,

very restful.

That's got nothing

to do with the whole

Nonsense my dear Watson,

it may have a great

deal to do with it.

Oh really?

I don't see what.

BBC Request Station,

this is Sherlock Holmes.

I understand you

play recordings.

Would you mind playing

Beethoven's Fifth

conducted by Sir

Ronald Hedley?

Thank you very much.

But you just heard it.

I like it.

Oh.

We've had a request

for the Beethoven

Fifth Symphony

played by the London

Symphony Orchestra

under the direction

of Sir Ronald Hedley.

This is a transcription.

Holmes it's

(unintelligible).

I say Holmes you

don't think...

Shh.

Mr. Holmes.

Yes, Gavin?

I, I,

Christopher

Dead?

Yes.

Its been driven in

with a lot of force.

Watson, this is a warning.

Warning?

How do you know?

I had sent to Gavin to

get certain information

that he must have found

there in the dark

and sinister alleys

of Limehouse.

He came with his message

which someone doesn't
