Oh, Watson,
have you met
Mr. Kingston and Mr. Childre?
I've seen them about.
Mr. Kingston and Mr. Childre
are archaeologists.
They're going to Egypt
to excavate a tomb.
And we've just
received a wireless
- that the British government...
- Egyptian.
Egyptian government has
granted its permission.
Congratulations.
Archaeologists,
they might have been
dug up themselves.
- Watson, please.
- Oh, sorry.
Was that you singing, ducky?
I could hear you
in the galley.
Capital. Really, it was.
What was it.
- Well, it was...
- Oh, it doesn't matter.
Well, is everybody ready?
The festival awaits.
We'll have a wonderful
time, ducky.
You'll observe that we
rearranged the seating order.
See, ducky, you're
this end, next to me.
You are at the other
end of the table.
I'm not going to let
you off, you know.
Let me off what?
This is our last
night together,
and you've been promising
the whole voyage
to tell me about one of
Sherlock Holmes' adventures.
Please do.
- Oh, isn't it a little early?
- No.
Hadn't we ought to
wait till after dinner?
Well, why not start now?
All right, now,
well, let's see.
Did any of you ever
hear of
the Giant Rat of Sumatra?
No, but it sounds
terribly gruesome.
It certainly was,
it never got in the
papers at the time,
too delicate a matter.
I don't suppose it'll do
any harm to tell it now.
It all began one
evening in Baker Street.
Holmes and I were
sitting in our rooms
when suddenly the
door opened slowly,
and in walked...
Sit down,
you're quite safe here.
I wish it would happen,
I don't like the suspense.
My dear Mirko,
as I have said before,
patience is an
admirable quality.
One of the old pea soupers,
they're rare these...
Now, I hope you
all understand
the topography
of the place.
It's important,
devilishly important.
Now, let's see if
I can get it straight.
- Between these two knives is the Thames.
- That's right, the Thames.
- And the curette is the warehouse.
- The warehouse, that's right.
This boat is the salt server.
No, this salt server
is a boat, of course.
Oh, the salt server is the
boat, of course.
No, no, no. The salt server
is the boat.
Come on, Sheila,
where's your hat?
Oh, I'm sorry, I was listening
to your uncle's story. Here.
Oh, dear,
nothing happened.
Here, take mine.
Oh, oh, no, you don't.
No, this time I'm not
taking any chances,
I'm going to do it
all myself.
Wait a minute.
I don't think there's
a hat in that one.
Why don't you take mine.
Oh, well, thank you,
Mr. Holmes.
But I'm sorry you
won't wear it yourself,
I'm sure it'd be
very becoming.
As I was saying,
Holmes and I
crept down the alley
between the sinister
looking warehouses.
This stalk of
celery is Holmes
- and this bit of cheese is me.
- Oh, ducky.
But when we reach
the end of the alley,
it was a blank wall, so we
had to retrace our steps.
There was nothing
else to do.
- Was it a high wall?
- High, it was about six foot high.
I said to Holmes
it was
absolutely ludicrous,
so he said to me, Watson,
there's nothing else for it,
and back we turned,
and down we went again.
Something has gone wrong.
- They've been down there.
- Be quiet.
It's that Holmes I tell you.
We should have
got rid of him.
Stay... stay here.
- Good evening, Mr. Holmes.
- Good evening.
Party over so soon?
No, I don't think so.
I imagine the festivities
are in full swing.
I just don't happen
to be much of a hand
at small talk
and pap... paper hats.
Oh, that's too bad.
Now me, I always enjoy
that sort of thing.
Really?
Then perhaps you'd like a
paper hat as a souvenir.
This one was at
Watson's nephew's place.
I'm sure he'd like you
to have it.
Not interested?
Oh, very well.
That's curious.
Good evening, Mr. Mirko.
"Nothing will go wrong,
this time, my dear Mirko."
...and after a desperate
chase up the river
and the police
launched Lestrade
finally apprehended the
missing soft of Wapping.
The freighter was thrown
out to sea and blown up.
And London, all England
for that matter,
was saved from the
terrible menace
of the
Giant Rat of Sumatra.
Oh, thank you very much.
I don't think I left
anything out, did I, Holmes?
I beg your pardon.
You're not listening
very closely?
I asked you if I
omitted anything.
I don't think so.
Nothing ever escapes
your eagle eye.
Oh, really, thanks a lot.
Oh, here's my
soup at last.
Getting hungry.
- Cheerio.
- Hi.
I can't believe this
is our last night.
It's funny,
I can't, either.
Archeologists,
going about like a
couple of conspirators.
You notice, Watson,
that our three friends
are conspicuous
by their absence?
Oh, now that you
mentioned it,
I don't see them
anywhere about.
Hello, we stopped.
Yes, we're off
Algiers at last.
Thank heavens for that.
We haven't yet delivered
His Majesty in safety.
I'm afraid I'll have
to take Nikolas away.
So early?
But nobody's getting off
I'm sorry, I have a
lot of packing to do.
- Oh, I see.
- Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Are you having
a good time?
Oh, yes, he's wonderful.
Eh?
Oh, yes,
it's been wonderful.
Oh, has it?
We can relax
only when Nikolas
is safely in the
hands of his friends.
You remember the
identification you'll present?
Yes, of course.
Good, get your
hat and coat,
I'll stay here with
Nikolas until you return.
Yes?
take Dr. Watson ashore, sir.
Good luck, old fellow,
and hurry.
You can rely on me,
Holmes.
- Bye, Nikolas.
- Good luck.
How long should it
take him, Mr. Holmes?
Oh, about half an hour,
I should think.
No one could say it's not
been an exciting trip.
That's to be expected.
We would have all have died
of boredom if it hadn't been.
Yes.
Sorry, Holmes,
I forgot my pipe.
Don't do anything
foolish, Mr. Holmes.
I dare say you're surprised
to see me, aren't you?
In a way, yes.
Impersonations are
a hobby of mine.
After Dr. Watson
left the cabin,
I managed to simulate
his voice at the door,
it was quite good.
However, it was fortunate
that you didn't hear it.
Yes, isn't it?
I think you must conceded,
Mr. Holmes,
that the last trick
of the game is mine.
Ah!
Gubec!
Our object now is not
to kill Mr. Holmes,
but to get the other one off the
boat as quickly as possible!
That's better!
Come on.
I must offer you our
sincerest congratulations
on the successful
accomplishment
of your so hazardous
mission, Dr. Watson.
Oh, thank you,
Mr. Levitz.
I don't mind admitting it was
one of our most difficult cases.
Mr. Holmes is
aboard the ship?
Indeed he is, I left him
guarding His Majesty.
Our country owes you a great
debt of gratitude, sir.
Oh, it was nothing at
all, sir, nothing at all.
Follow me, gentlemen.
Holmes?
Unlocked.
That's funny.
Holmes?
Locked.
Holmes!
What has happened?
Where's Nikolas?
Where is he?
