Sherlock Holmes The Pearl of Death Page #7

---

And the world will be

much better off

without you.

It will give me

great pleasure...

Put your hands up.

That's it.

You know

I never would have

thought of

disconnecting those wires

if it hadn't been for

your excellent example

at the

Royal Regent Museum.

It has been said

that imitation

is the sincerest

form of flattery.

Oh yes, I'm

willing to learn

from an old master hand.

Come now where's

that bust?

Doctor Boncourt

took it with him

to the police station.

Awe that's a

very feeble lie.

You'd hardly have let

it out of your hands,

you'd of been afraid

Doctor Boncourt

would have met

us coming in.

Us?

Yes, you know whom I mean.

Creeper!

Creeper!

Stay where you are.

Now listen

go to the room at

the head of the stairs,

the one with the two

glass panels in the door.

You know what to look for.

And if you should meet

Doctor Boncourt on the way

pay him your respects.

You'll hang for

this Conover.

Just as Naomi

Drake will hang.

They caught Naomi

Drake you know?

Well that's too bad

that's her fault.

No it's your

fault Conover.

It's all your fault.

Poor Naomi.

Now stay where you are.

I shouldn't let

The Creeper know

if I were you.

He wouldn't like it

if he knew you'd

let her down.

He's crazy about Naomi.

She's a very pretty girl.

Now you're trying to

scare me Mr. Holmes

but it won't work.

You've got nothing on

Naomi, she'll get off.

Oh no she won't.

She lost her head you see

when she found

she was cornered.

Grabbed a large

pair of shears

and stabbed

Doctor Watson to death.

She'll hang for

that you know

and it's all your fault.

You got her into this

and you won't raise a

hand to help her will you?

She'll hang by her

soft, white neck.

Trustees will

put their hands

on that pretty

body of hers

and throw it in

the quick lime.

Stay back.

Do you hear me?

Stay back!

That's it.

Give me some more.

Go on put your

shoulders to it.

Give it some more.

That's it.

It'll go.

Holmes.

Thank heavens.

Come in gentlemen.

But where's Boncourt?

He's quite safe.

Lestrade send one of your

men upstairs will you?

Tell Doctor Boncourt

that all is well.

Gently though, he's old

and his heart is weak.

I see.

That's why I didn't dare

send him out of the house.

He's up there.

All right up you go.

You see if he'd run into

Conover and The Creeper.

Conover and who?

The Creeper

my dear Lestrade

that you said didn't

say exist anymore.

Where is he?

You'll find him

the laboratory.

Conover too.

Come on.

You won't need your

revolver nor handcuffs.

Oh.

You got them.

Yes.

Did they find the bust?

No.

Well what did

you do with it?

My time was

very short Watson

so I put the bust

in the last place

I thought that Conover

would look for it.

He literally brushed

by it as he came in.

Amazing and the Borgia

Pearl's inside that?

If it isn't

I shall retire to

Sussex and keep bees.

Look there it is.

By Jove.

The Borgia Pearl.

The blood of five

more victims on it.

Well anyhow Conover

was one of them.

What's Conover.

No more than a symbol

of the greed and cruelty

and lust for power

that have set men at

each other's throats

down through

the centuries

and the struggle

will go on Watson

for a pearl,

kingdom,

perhaps even

world dominion

till the greed and

cruelty have burned out

of every last one of us

and when that time comes

perhaps even the pearl

will be washed

clean again.
