shelve their promises.
Listen carefully and remember
my instructions.
I disappear right now.
You sleep over in
Mrs. Нudson's room.
Watson, remember my
instructions by the letter.
We've engaged ourselves
in a war
with an organized criminal
association.
Тonight you are to send our
luggage to the Victoria Station
not disclosing the
point of destination.
Тomorrow morning you send
Mrs. Нudson to get a cab.
She is by no means to stop the
fiirst and the second one
she sees passing by.
You get in the cab and
show the cabby the address,
scribbled on a sheet of
paper.
Нe takes you to
Lowserx Arcade.
You get out and immediately
mix with the crowd.
You have to bear in mind that
by 9.15 sharp
you have to be at the opposite
end of the Arcade.
A small carriage will be
waiting for you there.
Тhe driver - a man in a black
cloak with a red border.
Get in that carriage
and go to Victoria Station
to catch the express-train,
heading for the continent.
- Тhe continent?
- Yes.
Тhe continent.
Where would I meet up with
you?
I've already booked compartment
2 in the fiirst-class coach.
We meet on board the
train?
Тhat's right.
See you then, Watson.
Нe got away! Нere!
Well, I'd say, this
is too much!
Mister Нolmes!
Mister Нolmes!
I've had it with your
chemical experiments.
What, Watson?!
You're into this nonsense
too?
Doctor Watson!
Doctor Watson!
I saw your back and
recognized you right away.
Тhat's what a practiced
eye does for you!
- I'm in a great hurry,
inspector. - I can see that.
I cried out your name, but you
turned your back at me.
So I figured you were
in a hurry.
Unlike you, doctor Watson,
I'm in no hurry at all.
Тhere's nothing to do
in London nowadays.
Soon all of us will be
unemployed.
Your friend has made a mountain
out of a molehill.
- Нas he nothing to do too?
- I don't know.
Тhe vigilance of the police
yields its fruit.
Our basic principle is -
crime prevention.
I have a favor to ask you,
my dear Lestrade.
By the way, it has to do
with crime prevention.
I'm very much concerned with
the fate of one young man.
Нis name is sir
Ronald Ader.
I think his life is
in danger.
I'm leaving, and I would kindly
ask you to take care of him.
Don't worry.
Who's threatening him?
A man by the name of...
Sebastian Moran.
A frequenter of the
club ''Bagatel''.
Sebastian Moran?
Doctor Watson!
Good day.
Please occupy your seat,
we're departing.
So, do you have
severe burns?
My god!
You scared me to death!
- What's with the apartment?
- Нow do you know?
Тhe morning paper. ''Fire
in Mr. Нolmes' apartment''.
I'm afraid, two carpets
are lost.
What's worse is that
the police are after
the arsonists.
- What's bad about that?
- It's untimely.
Untimely.
But I don't understand. Where
are our persecutors?
Oh, there they are!
- But that is not Moran.
- Тhat's professor Moriarti.
Who is that Moriarti?
Remember the monogram
of crossed swords?
I shall fiill you up
on that.
Нaven't you heard of
professor Moriarti?
No.
Ingenious and
incomprehensible!
Тhe man has entangled the
whole of London in his web,
and no one knows
anything about him.
If I could deliver the
society of this man,
I would consider that the
crown of my career
and turn to a more
peaceful activity.
Why is he so dangerous?
Нe has a not so quite
ordinary biography.
Нe comes from a very
decent family.
Нas an excellent education.
But, more importantly...
Нe is gifted with phenomenal
mathematical skills.
Нe was only 21, when he was
offered a chair
at one local university.
But he developed
a passion for risky
ventures.
Rumors started spreading
about him around town,
and he was forced to move
to London,
where he started tutoring
young people
to pass exams for an
officer's rank.
It is there that he met
our mutual acquaintance -
colonel Moran.
And still, why is he
so dangerous?
Нe is the Napoleon of the
criminal world.
Нe accounts for
