until this case is solved. - My books! - I'm sorry. - Leave it, get away! - As you wish. It won't be the same without Holmes! Those lanky idiots would never have dared to barge into a private home in the middle of the night! You mustn't lose heart, doctor Watson. Think of your friend, read his letter once again. I can't. How can I read his letter, if I failed to implement his last orders? I've destroyed Adair and gotten myself into trouble. Oh, Mrs. Hudson! I'll go make you some coffee. Thank you, Mrs. Hudson. I can see, you are not very happy with my coming here. - How did you get here? - The door wasn't locked, sir. Strange. I followed you here. I wanted to thank you. Believe me, I am a very grateful man, and I thank you for helping me. That was nothing really. Sir, allow me to offer you some books. "The Holy War". "Birds of Great Britain" in 3 volumes. Good day. - Your coffee, doctor. - Thank you. Hello, Watson! Hello, my friend! I'm alive! Get up, my friend. Holmes, they want to arrest me. I know. I read this morning's "Times". You are the prime suspect. My dear Mrs. Hudson! It's me. I'm alive. Alive! Alive! You're not a ghost. It really is you. Where have you been so long? My god! It was a long time! We missed you terribly! Come on, Holmes! Stop it! Let's be happy today! I am happy. Forgive me, my friends. I came to London a month ago. I stayed with Mycroft. But the circumstances didn't allow me... Shoo! I can see, things haven't changed much! I still don't believe my eyes. Well, tell us! Tell us everything, or we will both go out of our minds. Forgive me, my dear Watson. And you, Mrs. Hudson. Several times I was on the verge of writing to you but each time I restrained myself. I was afraid that your affection for me might cause a blunder on your part. Something that would give me away. But this bandit saw you, Mr. Holmes. Very well! The death of poor Ronald Adair has hastened the fulfillment of my plans. We have serious work to do tonight. You too, Mrs. Hudson. In that case I'll go and cook a festive dinner. Oh, no-no! We will have the festive dinner tomorrow night. And tonight you must do exactly what my brother Mycroft says. And you, Watson, have to go to inspector Lestrade right away and tell him, that you possess fresh evidence regarding the case. He will ask you: What kind of evidence? Answer him, that he has to send a police detail to Baker Street. Those have to be senior officers. No! Better - people from Scotland Yard! They have to disperse around the neighborhood, so that it would not be too obvious. The signal will be a police whistle. - What is the plan? - Later. After the visit to Lestrade you dine somewhere in Soho, spend a few hours at the National Gallery, then have a cup of tea on Regent Street, and at 7 I'll be waiting for you on the corner of Cavendish Square. Got it. But please don't disguise yourself as Padre. The soutane doesn't become you. Would the gentleman care for a ride? Unpleasant weather, isn't it, sir? I should have gotten used to your masquerades, but every time you trick me like a child. Elementary, my dear Watson. - Baker St! - Yes. We're in Camden's house, across the street from our own house. I'll leave you for a second, have to check the front door. Ingenious, isn't it? What is it? A work of art. Performed by sculptor Menier from Grenoble. It took him 2 weeks to make this wax figure. What for? So they would think that I'm at home. Whereas I'm here. Have you forgotten they're watching our house? Who is? A charming bunch, whose leader's body is resting at the bottom of the Reichenbach Falls. Look! - He's alive. - Naturally. Now crawl closer and grab the stick. I'm doing my best, sir. But be careful. They shouldn't see you from outside the window. - Like this, sir? - That's right. And now, Mrs. Hudson, try
