Thus ...

Our relationship ...

Relationship?

Very well.. partnership

Has not yet run it's course,

My dear fellow if you could be bothered

to see this through to the end

I should never again ask you to assist me.

Once more... Onto the bridge

That's the spirit!

Now to the question ...

It is deliciously complicated

You may be asking yourself?

What does a crimial mastermind want

with a simple gypsy fortune teller?

It's about her brother I tell you

When we find him and we must..

After you find my luggage

Go on....

Wait!

Where is it were going?

Paris, The most sensible honeymoon destination of all

So why Paris?

Peaches.

Outside the city at montlucon,

There's a Gypsy camp famous for it's dried fruit,

Especially peaches,

There we shall find ...

Our fortune teller,

And we'll return her bag.

Speaks french

Speaks french

Speaks french

Speaks french

And umm my ticket?

Speaks french

Unfortunately, you won't be needing yours.

It's a shame professor

I was looking forward to Don Giovanni

Speaks french

Follow Meinhard

WhistlesWhistles

Wake up, Were here

Brace yourself, Were about to be violated

Don't be so cynical

Good afternoon.

Madam Simza?

Yes yes sir.

Perfect.

They're taking my luggage

Laugh them away Watson, I have her bag

This is her handbag.

You had her bag

Now they have my coat

Where is Madam Simza?

Where is Simza?

This is Simza

Same as a goose

I'm Sim

Nice scarf

I like

We are here in connection with her brother.

You hungry?

Famished

Madam, this is a gloryious hedgehog goulash

I can't remember ever having had better

Do tell me... when was the last time you had

a hedgehog goulash?

I told you, Watson, I can't remember

Perhaps you've repressed it

Hmhmhm...Thats where we differ

Unlike you, I repress nothing.

Perfectly normal

How dare you be rude to this woman

who's invited us into her tent?

Offered us a hedgehog

Says the man who throws women from trains.

Who are you two?

Concerned citizens

Why did someone try to kill me?

Your brother has become involved with a very dangerous man

He clearly believes that Rene has told you

something you shouldn't know

I don't know anything

I've been looking for him for over a year

That was why I was in London

It was the last place anyone has saw him

It is clear that your brother loves you...

So he would never send you a message that

would put you in harms way

Any information therefore

would be by default... Unintentional

Has he Sent you anything else?

Just a few drawings

Let's just see what they have to tell us

Unusual choice of paper...

Thicker gauge designed for a printing press

the same stock as the letter.

They smell musty

Must've been stored

somewhere cold and damp

What's that?.. Blood?

Wine

So... a wine cellar located near a printing press

That should narrow it down

He said that it will never return.

There's a wine cellar used by the

anarchist group Speaks french

Rene was close to their leader

Claude Ravache.

A Bomb maker

I sampled some of his work last week

I was a part of the movement

So was ...Rene

Until it became too extreme for us

Ravache knows me.

If my brother's back there ...

He will see us

He will send a message

You do get a meeting with Ravache.

Whatever you do, don't let these

Gypsies make you drink

You dance?

For God's sake, Don't dance,

It could be the death you

You know what happens when you dance

Ahhh!

Oh good morning, Mrs. Watson

Have you had breakfast?

I.... Stanley here does a wonderful deviled kidney

-Carruthers

-Good morning, Sir, Telegram for Mrs. Watson.

-It just doesn't make any sense...

-Allow me

Oh yes, My most loathed Mary, I do not love you,

I never wish to see you again

Uh every moment I count away

from you is a blessing.

Afraid not, It's a double ecryption my dear,

That Sherly and I have used since we were boys

If the first letter of the message is a consonant,

Then what follows is the mirrored truth

I see.

Stanley!

You know, Althought our time together has

been but a brief interlude

I'm begining to understand how a man

of particular dispostion,

and under certain circumstances,

Extreme ones perhaps ahh

Might grow to enjoy the company

of a person of ah of um your gender

Oh, thank you so much ...

Most charming.

Terribly sorry, Thank you.

Where are you going, Stanley?

Speaks french

Still hiding in basements?

It's not easy for me to go out these days.

Glad to see you.

I not here to see you.

I prefer to share these moments

With your English friends.

The year of our glorious revolution.

Is he here?

When freedom has triumphed over tyranny.

Is my brother here?

I haven't seen him... for a long time.

Your lying

Sit.

Please.

A letter was received from Rene,

Using this same paper.

Of course.

He took it with him wherever he went.

He's telling the truth, Rene isn't here.

He was given another assignment,

By an anonymous benefactor?

Another Englishman,

With money, power... who supported our cause.

And now ...

He dictates our every move.

Demanding I take responsibility for his acts of terror.

I made the deal with the devil.

But after tonight,

It will be over.

My job is almost done.

He's had you plant another bomb.

Hasn't he?

Claude, Please, These men can help you.

I wish they could.

You see, gentlemen ...

He has my wife and children.

If you tell where the bomb is,

We'll find a way to help your family

That's already taken care of

We have a deal

He and I.

No loose ends.

There's only one thing I can do

to keep my family safe

You have less than ten minutes.

Don't!!

He has no further need of that pistol,

Why don't you take it and cover the stairs.

There's only one way out of this place

Right you are..

Ahh.... Ingenious

That's the one.

Quickly as we can!

You know what to do with

that sandbag.. Watson

Quick

Doctor, Could you secure that leever

He could've told me.

Ravache was strong. He lived for Liberty

He would never take his own life.

Calm yourself

My brother he.. he's weak

Sim!

I need you to take a deep breath.

And follow us.

To the opera!

I was mistaken

What?

I made a mistake!

Speaks french

Speaks french

He took the shot from here.

Using a tripod.

And a shooting stick

And realized ...

There was a better position.

This faint scrape where he

dragged the tripod and...

set it up...

Here.

Six hundred yards...

Six hundred and fifty..

And not to mention the seven or

eight mile an hour wind

He would've needed a wind guage

Which he placed here.

And put a cigarette down here.

Can anyone shoot that far?

Not more than half a dozen men in all of europe

And how many of those men served

in Afghanistan?

Why?

prosperum with a touch of tekrum

Must've fallen out when he was rolling up

Wasn't that the blend you all smoked?

You didn't tell me about a Colonel ...

Sebastian Moran.

The best Marksman in the British army.

Dishonorable discharge.

He's likely now a gun for hire.

This is the second victim of his that I've encountered.
