A Study in Terror Page #3

Lord Carfax. Sherlock Holmes.

My colleague, Dr Watson.

Why have you got

my brother's instruments?

They came into my possession in a

singular fashion. Your father...

My father is still very bitter.

When did you last see your brother?

Two years ago. He went to study in

Paris. These were my gift to him.

He wrote a couple of times, then...

You tried to trace him? I went to

Paris but he'd left and returned to

England. And you've heard nothing?

No. ..No.

Or seen him? Of course not.

Thank you. Good day, Lord Carfax.

Come, Watson. May I?

Good day.

Whitechapel, cabbie. Yes, sir.

Why Whitechapel?

To find the pawnshop.

The instruments were sent after

the murder of the third prostitute.

A woman wishes to interest me in

the crimes. I find that provocative.

Oi!

CHILDREN SHOUT:

Give us a penny, Mister!

COINS CLINK:

Here.

A narrow street facing south.

Observe, Watson - a foreign name.

Uncanny.

BELL TINKLES:

Gentlemen, can I help you?

I want information on an article

you had in your possession.

No, I don't think...

Come, Mr Beck.

Your face reacts faster

than your brain. You remember.

I would like

to know who pawned this.

Who are you, to demand information?

Sherlock Holmes.

Who pledged this case?

The pawn ticket number was 872.

Well...

The name given to me was...Osborne.

Osborne? That's the name that...

Angela Osborne.

Did the lady leave an address?

"Lady"! Two years ago. Yes.

The Montague Street Hostel. It's

a soup kitchen run by Dr Murray.

When did you sell this case?

A few days ago. Yes, yes.

It was last Saturday.

Ah - the night of the...

Of what, sir?

To whom did you sell it?

A man. I never saw him before.

Was the missing instrument here

when you sold it? I think so.

You are sure?

Of course!

I have reason to assume

a connection between this

and your local murders.

Murders? You don't think I have...?

That's slander. Talk like that

can get you sued.

No, sir. It can get YOU hanged!

Accessory before the fact.

Supplying a weapon for murder.

A very good day to you, sir.

BELL TINKLES:

Holmes! Where are you rushing to? To

examine the body of Annie Chapman.

The dead girl? Why?

To confirm that the instrument used

was a surgeon's scalpel.

Give us a penny!

Lestrade! Mr Holmes -

what are you doing here?

The Inspector will help us through

officialdom. Hmm. What do you want?

To look at Miss Chapman's body.

Out of the question.

I will not argue. I hoped to help

prevent the fourth murder. Watson.

Just a moment. What makes you think

he'll do it again? I think he will,

Lestrade. I think he will.

Oh. All right.

May I?

My God! Could a human being

have done this?

You see, Watson. Hmm.

We are right in assuming
