is an extraordinary facility.

She's never failed to send you

first night tickets, eh, Holmes?

Never.

Always row B, seats five and seven.

For the last nine seasons.

One of these days we must find ourselves

in those seats, eh, Watson?

Ho-ho!

- They've gone begging far too long.

Come in.

The post has just come.

- Thank you, Mrs Hudson.

Er, could I make you some hot tea?

Yes, and a slice or two of that gammon

if there's any left.

Watson,

you must apologise

to the trans-Atlantic mail

as your estimate of a fortnight lacks

thirteen days of proving itself accurate.

Row B, as usual, eh Holmes?

Seats Fi...

Holmes, what is it?

Well, that's a rum 'un, eh Holmes?

Whatever'd she tear 'em up like that?

Watson, there's not a moment to lose.

We must set out for New York

this very day.

Engage passage immediately.

- Yes, yes, at once.

Waterloo station, driver! We've

forty minutes to catch the boat train.

I am trying

to connect two events

that, by all sense and logic,

cannot be connected.

Truly a futile exercise.

Well, what are they?

My conversation with Moriarty,

three nights ago,

and the receipts of those shredded

theatre tickets, this morning.

How could the one have the

remotest connection with the other?

I don't know, Watson.

I don't know.

And, yet, if I were Moriarty,

and my one unwavering determination

the destruction of Sherlock Holmes,

I would expend every effort

at my command to seek out the...

single, the only chink in his armour,

however small it may be,

and once I had found it,

if it exists at all,

it is there I should thrust with all

the strength and fury I could muster.

'Chink in your armour'?

Rubbish!

There's no such thing

as a chink in your armour.

Isn't there, Watson?

Isn't there?

This'll do very nicely.

Thank you, very much.

Hansom. Hansom!

I say there, hansom.

Handsome is as handsome does, mister,

and you'll do quite nicely.

I say! Well, did you hear that, Holmes?

The young lady...

Off you go, off you go. Shoo, shoo...

- Oh, well!

Let that be a lesson to you, Watson.

They don't have hansom cabs

in New York, just cabs.

Cab! Over here, my man.

You see, Watson?

Get our cases aboard

as quickly as you can will you?

The Empire Theatre, and don't

spare your steed. Jump in, Watson.

There we are.

Ah, I make it just on half-past three.

Eight, Holmes.

What on earth are you talking about?

Half-past eight, see.

Watson, we are on New York time.

Oh.

Oh, well I've always found Greenwich time

perfectly adequate to me needs.

I see now reason for changing it now.

Hello! What's this?

Wooah!

How do I get through here?

You can't.

Go around the side behind

the LaFayette Square.
