to stay and suffocate.
She's right. l am suffocating.
Oh, let me open the window.
Not from lack of air.
From lack of activity.
Sitting here, week after week,
blowing smoke rings...
staring through a microscope--
there's no challenge in that.
Personally, l consider it
a major contribution...
to scientific criminology.
How l envy you
your mind, Watson.
You do?
lt's placid,
imperturbable, prosaic.
But my mind rebels
against stagnation.
lt's like a racing engine
tearing itself to pieces...
because it's not connected up...
with the work
for which it was built.
Holmes.
Holmes...where's
your self-control?
Fair question.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Thoroughly...
but this will
take care of it.
There was nothing l could do...
when he went on one of

Why won't you go?
lt's the final performance of
The house has been
sold out for months.
Tickets are going
at a guinea apiece.
That's precisely it.
Why should someone
send us two free tickets?
Anonymously, at that.
Well, whoever sent them
must be in great distress.
The note says...
''Please, you are the only man
in the world who can help me.''
l suspect
it's some sort of plot.
You mean, somebody wants
to lure us into a trap?
Somebody wants to kill me.
Kill you?
That's right.
lt's a plot
to bore me to death.
l detest ballet.
But this isn't just
any ballet.
lt's ''Swan Lake.''
You know, of course, Holmes...
that swan isn't really a swan.
lt's an enchanted princess.
Mmm.
Fabulous woman.
Don't you think so, Holmes?
Who?
The great Petrova.
Very strong arches,
l must admit.
They say twelve men
have died for her.
Really?
Six committed suicide...
four were killed in duels...
and one fell out
of the gallery...
That's only eleven.
The man who fell
from the gallery...
landed on top of another man
in the orchestra.
That makes an even dozen...
in a messy sort of way.
Mr. Holmes.
Yes?
l am Nikolai Rogozhin...
Director General of
So glad you accept invitation.
This is Dr. Watson.
Nice to meet you.
You're enjoying?
lmmensely.
Tell me, Mr. Holmes...
how is your health?
My health?
Better consult my doctor.
Oh, he's in excellent shape.
Any insanity in your family?
Diabetes? Asthma?
Would you mind telling me
what this is all about?
Certainly.
Madame Petrova...
she has problem.
Can you be more specific?
Certainly not.
Liaison with a crowned head?
Compromising letters? Blackmail?
