When you grow up

in a place a Glovin

it seems eternal.

Sure I see that?

I'll be off then

Miss Miller

and I hope you'll

do the same.

Cause there's no point

in you doing otherwise.

Well rid me of this

troublesome woman.

Are you my savior?

I do say get out.

Here this should

kick things off

for you to make a

start at Glovin.

How very generous sir.

You look after my girl.

I'll look after

your house.

The Park Club.

The Park Club.

Vincent.

Thank you.

Go.

Go.

Remember our

agreement my Lord.

This quarter's payment

or I will foreclose

the mortgages.

I have to be

married later this

morning Callahan.

The bride's father

is the richest man on

the Pacific slope.

Anything she wants

he'll give her

as long as I

keep her happy.

Oh yes keep her

very happy man.

My partner and I have

no wish to own Glovin.

Please don't force

us to take it.

Rest assured that you

will never come to that.

You'll excuse

me gentlemen.

Thank you Mrs. Hudson.

Is that look of reproach?

No.

No I'm often up

at this hour.

I don't really

sleep these days.

Scale.

The scale of the chair

and the sense of the

stain of the chair.

Thank you.

May all the best to you.

Good luck.

Awe, leave the

goddamn thing alone.

Thank you for

coming Doctor.

Why didn't you

call me earlier?

Well I didn't what to...

oh dear, oh dear.

He won't admit

it of course,

but he's not well.

I'm very worried

about him.

You should have

called me earlier.

But he wouldn't have it.

Do you know how

masterful he is?

I didn't dare disobey him.

Oh dear.

Holmes?

Holmes?

What do you know

about dreams?

Why do you ask?

Why?

I'm walking through

infernal territory

and you ask why?

I only meant.

I don't know

what I meant.

Well there's a

group in Vienna

Iead by a young

doctor called Freud,

a psychologist,

[speaking German].

Please don't look at them.

They are

merely scribbles

for reference.

Does he seek to

explain dreams?

To interpret them

I believe so.

There relationship to

the life a dreamer.

They aim to be

scientific I gather.

The science of dreams,

well, well, well.

My dream is horrible.

I'm fighting with

Moriarty at the Falls

and suddenly

I'm overwhelmed

with a sense of loss,

fear.

Yes fear.

Empty rooms, I've

no sense of scale.

A huge chair,

which diminishes.

It's upholstery

torn to shreds.

I'm starting to escape

from a marsh, a mire,

a quagmire.

The Grimpen Mire

and it appears

than an androgynous

creature,

witch like, hag like,

with claws, talons,

which reach out to me,

through me

and I'm trapped

in a mesh of cobwebs.

And I awake.

Hum, are you eating?

You sleep badly,

you have bad dreams,

you sleep even worse.

I don't have bad dreams;

I have one dream

more than once.

Well let's see how

you really are.

Please don't start that.

And I'll tell you

something else

I regret Moriarty's death.

Tell me how would you

describe Moriarty?

Evil.

A giant of evil.

Giant, yes quite so.

Without him I

have to deal with

distressed children,

cat owners, pygmies,

pygmies of triviality.

You see,

Moriarty combined

science with evil.

Organization

with precision.

Vision with perception.

I know of only one

person that he misjudged.

Me.

Put away your medicines.

How was your seminar?

Lively.

There's something

wrong with the child.

She is as

nervous as a cat.

Hat?

Oh yes.

Amelia does look

curious in a hat.

I never thought

of it before.

Even you were

nervous as a bride.

Oh it's not that,

there's something wrong.

I was about to

announce my lady.

Oh give me 2 or 3

minutes would you?

Very well my lady.

Get that girl for me.

Get her.

Get her!

Where is your

timidity Miss Miller?

In the cold gutter of

your heart Lord Robert.

Trampled in the gutter.

But why?

I wish the child

joy of you.

Look Bella there's the

famous Flora Miller,

she used to be a

friend of Robert's

but I don't think she

likes him anymore.

I can explain everything.

It was a

it was a long time ago.

Who are you?

She's not upstairs.

Go away.

The house has

been searched now

top to bottom.

Not a sign of

Hettie anywhere.

Nothing.

Alice?

One of Mrs. Doran's

cloaks is missing sir.

Nothing else.

No sir not even a purse.

Thank you Alice.

Sir.

We must call the police.

What about this woman

of yours, this actress,

could she have

anything to do with it?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'll get the police.

Do you have

any objection?

No.

Where are you?

Oh my darling.

Well, well, well.

Hmm.

I've told you what

you should be doing

is eating properly.

Come in.

This has come.

It is marked

'Most Urgent.'

Mrs. Hudson

I can still see.

Are you all

right Mr. Holmes.

You know I wish I'd

never unlocked the door.

No.

Well it's got a

personal autograph.

That's an improvement.

This morning's mail

was from a fishmonger

and a tidewaiter.

Well that's a fashionable

epistle indeed.

My dear Sherlock Holmes,

Lord Blackwater tells me

that I may place

implicit reliance

upon your judgment

and discretion.

Scotland Yard

is already acting

in this matter

and there is no

objection to you

It's about that Lord

St. Simon wedding.

Yes dull, dull, dull.

Azure, 3 caltrops in

chief over a fess sable.

That's him alright.

It's Lord St. Simon,

he's early.

Watson I'm

trying to sleep.

You know my methods.

Leave the door open.

Where is Holmes huh?

Mr. Holmes is

indisposed my Lord.

He has entrusted the

preliminaries to me.

I know his methods.

Very well.

Very well.

Apart from the distress

this has caused me

you understand

the delicacy?

Indeed.

Indeed.

Lord Blackwater said that

Mr. Holmes has handled

cases of this sort before

though hardly I imagine

from the same

class of society.

He would in fact

be descending.

Sir.

On Mr. Holmes' last client

to the sort was a King.

Very well Watson.

Huh, I had no idea.

Which King?

Well you can

understand my Lord

that he extends to the

affairs of other clients

the same secrecy,

which he's promised

you in yours.

Of course.

How are we to

find her sir?

How can she of

disappeared?

Where is she?

I must have her back.

A woman obscured.

It was after the ceremony

outside the church

that first noticed that

something was wrong.

As you came out

and not before?

No.

And as she came in?

She appeared a

little apprehensive

but she looked

quite lovely

and very happy.

If I remember rightly

the newspapers implied

that Miss Miller

was drunk

when she made the scene

at your front door.

As far as I could judge

yes it was likely.

My Lord would it

be in order to ask

the nature of

your relationship

with Miss Miller?

Yes.

If somewhat naive

she was my mistress.

We parted some months ago.

I was I believe generous.

And that is when

you met Miss Doran?

Before in fact.

Miss Miller's drinking

had already led

to some scenes.

She was becoming

very unreliable.

Do you think...

Do you think

Miss Miller's

the sort of person
