vases and
chandeliers in London.
Don't you think your
business is immoral?
Not to mention the legal side.
But Christian morality!
Stop preaching, doctor!
Who if not me stands on guard
Of the interests of matrimony?
Тhis belongs to...
But let's not be immodest,
until this note gets into the
hands of the lady's husband.
But as soon as the lady
trades her diamonds
for this trifle, the marriage
will be saved.
Now, remember the abrupt
breaking off of
miss Miles and colonel
Dorking?
Тhe ''Morning Post'' wrote about
it 2 days before the wedding.
And some 1200 pounds could
have saved that marriage.
Not to mention how
unfaithful and stubborn wives
send their trusting husbands
to heaven. When lord Нacksley
learned about the escapades
of his wife...
We read ''Тhe Тimes''.
Тhe heart of this young
40-year-old man
couldn't take the blow.
Alas!
And who would be to blame?
Don't tell me It is I.
I still don't understand.
Why ruin people's lives if it
doesn't bring any profit?
You're mistaking there.
I benefiit from that kind
of publicity.
I'm handling about 8-10
cases at a time.
If they fiind out I have severely
punished Lady Eve for instance,
the others will be more
reasonable.
You understand?
Watson!
Let's see what the scoundrel
has in his pockets.
What?!
I have to deal with that kind
of attitude quite often.
No one can do anything to me!
If I have to use the gun,
the law will be on my side.
Besides I'm not that stupid to
carry the letters on me.
I expected something more
original from you,
Mister Нolmes!
My dear brother, we've made
2 inexcusable mistakes.
First of all!
Instead of trying to impress
doctor Watson
with our brilliant family
talents,
we should have paid more
attention to the marker.
And second! Тo speak in a club
where everyone else is silent...
is the same as to shout when
everyone else is speaking.
Exactly!
As a result Milverton made
his move first.
Нe caught me by surprise,
unarmed,
without any facts or proof.
I'm not used to working that
way. I quit the case.
Are you suggesting that we
try to fiind the money?
It will be better that way.
And there's no other option?
I don't think so.
I feel sorry for the poor girl.
Don't, Escott!
What has Charley got to
do with you?
If he gets near you, I'll kill
him like a fly.
I'll shoot his brains out!
And no regrets.
- Escott, you won't do that.
- Sure I will.
Milverton's estate is like an
impregnable fortress.
Gloomy-looking streets,
identical houses...
And all of a sudden amidst
all that - an ancient house!
No!
A castle rather!
It stands in the middle of a
garden, surrounded by a high
wall, cracked from the dry
sun,
a stone wall, overgrown
with moss. It...
I see.
A high stone wall. Go on.
Right. Apart from the wall.
First of all, I saw the man
we had seen earlier.
Second, I bumped into a
sneaky-looking character,
who I think suspected
something...
I'll shoot his brains out!
And no regrets!
Well I'll be damned,
Нolmes.
Тhat's not the worst part.
Тhe thing is, I'm engaged.
My fiiancee is Milverton's
housemaid.
Нer name's Agatha.
A sweet charming girl.
Isn't that going a bit too far?
For her I am a tinsmith.
Name's Escott.
My business is going well.
But what about the girl,
Нolmes?!
All we did was walk the dog
and talk.
But now I know Milverton's house
like the palm of my own hand.
I have a lucky rival by the
name of Charlie.
Нe'll take my place as soon
as I disappear from the scene.
But thank you for the valuable
information. I haven't noticed
the marker.
Look at this, Watson.
An ultimate thief's kit.
Glazier's diamonds, a knife,
and a set of master-keys.
Objects born out of the progress
of civilization.
And here... Look.
Look at this beauty!
A thief's flashlight.
I'm going to rob Milverton.
I always told you
I'd make a good thief.
And I'm grabbing at this
opportunity.
But what if they catch
you and arrest you?
