I'm not going anywhere.
Holmes and I are on the
train to watch the...
I know.
It's a diamond or a pearl
or something of
fabulous value.
This fellows Holmes
is always chasing
after missing jewels
or mysterious females.
What is the
meaning of this?
I'm sorry Ms. Vedder
but it was necessary
for us to search
your compartment.
Indeed.
May I ask what you
expected to find?
A valuable jewel
has been stolen.
And a man has
been murdered.
We're making a
routine search
of the entire carriage
and asking a
few questions.
Go right ahead.
I understand your journey
is rather a sad one.
Your mother...
Yes.
Perhaps we better not
question Ms. Vedder
just now Lestrade.
Huh?
Excuse us will you?
What's the idea
Mr. Holmes?
It's a matter
of taste Lestrade.
The young lady's taking
her mother to Scotland
for burial.
In a coffin?
That is the customary
method I believe.
Lestrade I think
we'll take a look
at that coffin.
Might prove interesting.
I was about to suggest
that very thing
myself, Mr. Holmes.
Conductor, I'll have a
look in the luggage van.
This way sir.
But I am Doctor Watson,
Doctor John H. Watson
of 2-21 B Baker
Street, retired,
my friend Sherlock
Holmes will vouch for it.
Your alibi isn't
worth a Scotch.
You just told me that
this fellow Holmes
is a crony of yours,
naturally he'd lie.
I resent that sir.
Sherlock Holmes is
very full of integrity.
Might even be
an accomplice.
Oh well if I
were a policeman
I'd take you and charge
this very moment.
I didn't do it sir.
I swear I didn't do it.
I can prove it.
Prove what...
There you are Holmes.
Now get out of here
and join your
silly friend!
Did you discover
anything Watson?
Yes.
He's a very
suspicious character.
He tried to put
me off the scent.
From the little I heard
he seemed reasonably
successful.
Look here, you're
not going to let
an old fellow like
Professor Kilbane
discourage you are you?
Why don't you
try this one?
You think I'd better?
Yes of course.
All right.
Do you mind if I come in?
You may.
Thank you.
I'm sorry to
bother you but
I represent the police.
I knew it.
Alfred I told you.
Told him what?
Well?
It's quite all
right Inspector.
I confess.
Confess?
You mean you stole it?
You got it in there?
Yes.
No no no,
Leave it where it is.
I've got to fetch
Inspector Lestrade
of Scotland Yard.
And don't either of you
attempt to run away.
Oh no, Inspector.
Is this door always
kept locked Conductor?
Yes sir.
Only the guard and
myself have keys.
Got him Holmes.
Who?
The thieves.
Thieves?
There, come on, speak up.
That married couple
down there.
Mr. & Mrs. Shawcross?
