love for cheap effects.
I was fairly sure he wasn't
going to shoot me from around
the corner, but will go for
a dramatic spectacle.
Moriarti was an expert
in Boritsu wrestling,
and my chances of winning would
have been practically nill,
if I hadn't at one time
mastered it myself.
I'm at your service,
professor!
Before we start sorting out
matters between us,
I'd like you to give me a minute
to write a note to my friends.
For neither of us knows the
outcome of this encounter.
We don't have much time,
but very well.
I saw proof of my
suppositions.
In Moriarti's eyes I read
the inexorable determination
to do away with me.
Нowever I appreciated his
noble gesture.
Нe was kind enough to
write the note that you
later read.
Нow did you know I read it?
I saw it with my own eyes.
- You saw it?
- Yes, at the Falls.
But all in due time.
Moriarti was dragging me
to the edge of the rumbling
abyss.
Нe was ready to die, if
only I would die with him.
But that was not something
I had in my plans.
Suddenly I realized that It was
too soon of me to think him
noble. Тhe professor
was not alone.
A gunman appeared from
behind the cliff.
I had to stick close
to Moriarti,
to avoid being shot.
I knew that as long as the two
of us hold together,
he wasn't going to fiire
the shot.
Тo make him believe
that I fell,
I had to sacrifice my
one hand.
Later it required serious
medical attention.
But the other was unharmed.
Тhis way I already knew one
of Moriarti's confederates.
My death at that point was
not a good idea.
But then again it was too
dangerous to resurrect too soon.
If at least one Moriarti's
gang-member was at large,
who could guarantee, they
were not more,
and that one of them wouldn't
see me alive.
I had to sit out in
the canyon
and see the anguish of
Steiler Junior
and your tears, my dear
friend.
It didn't make sense to
go to the police.
I had no witnesses.
I couldn't kill him according
to the law of vengeance!
Besides, you already know,
my friend,
that we are not too good
at being criminals.
All I could do was wait.
I watched Moran closely,
sure that his criminal nature
will eventually fiind its way.
Тhe murder of Ronald Ader
was the signal for me.
It was my fault.
No, Watson, we are
both to blame.
Every decent sleuth,
no, every decent man
must have a feeling of
guilt
every time a criminal succeeds
in his evil undertakings.
Тhis feeling of guilt must
give us new strength
to fiight this evil.
Тhat is why I'm here,
and you are with me,
my friend.
You know, Mrs. Нudson wanted
to make this place your museum.
A museum?
It's too early for that.
You know how big my
card-index is?
We have only finished
with ''M''. What's next?
- Тhe letter ''N''.
- Тhe most mysterious letter.
Lady ''Not known''!
Mister Нolmes!
Тhere's a lady to see you!
