what l said was that...
we were going to put
you on the boat train.
l didn't say you were
going to stay on it.
She's not?
At 7:
30, Mr. Holmesand Dr. Watson...
will be seen waving good-bye
to Madame Valladon...
at Victoria Station.
At 8:
1 2, Mr. and Mrs. Ashdown...accompanied by
their valet John...
will appear at Euston Station...
and board the Highland Express
to lnverness.
Mister and missis.
Thank you.
l'm sorry for what l said.
That's not necessary.
l'll go and pack.
Maybe l should do it,
since l'm the valet.
Holmes, exactly what
are you up to?
As you like to put it
in your chronicles...
the game is afoot!
But what game?
Are you really that interested
in the Belgian engineer?
Or is it the wife of
the Belgian engineer?
You don't like me
very much, do you?
Nothing of the sort.
Quite the opposite...
but there's more to this case
than meets the eye.
Looking for something?
Yes. My other glove.
Let me help you.
Here it is.
Thank you.
All right. You can look now.
Am l embarrassing you,
Mr. Holmes?
Not at all.
Would it surprise you...
if l told you l once
spent a night with 1 21 women?
Oh?
A very interesting case--
in a harem in Constantinople.
Oh! l'm...sorry, Father.
l mean, Friar. Or is it Abbot?
Going to Scotland,
you gentlemen?
So are we.
l'm a valet.
are on our way to lnverness.
Ever been there?
Beautiful country.
Oh, forgive me.
You must be one of those orders
that's taken the vow of silence?
Trappists,
l think you're called.
l see you're reading
''The Book of Jonah.''
Funny. We were just talking
about Jonah this morning.
Never mind.
Hmm...''Women are never
to be entirely trusted...
''not the best of them.''
What did you say?
l didn't say it.
You did,
according to Dr. Watson.
He gave me some old copies
of ''Strand Magazine.''
The good doctor is constantly
putting words into my mouth.
Then you deny it.
Not at all.
l am not a wholehearted
admirer of womankind.
l'm not very fond
of them myself.
The most affectionate woman
l ever knew was a murderess.
Oh?
lt was one of those
passionate affairs...
at odd hours
right in my laboratory.
And all the time,
behind my back...
she was stealing cyanide...
to sprinkle on her husband's
steak and kidney pie.
You mustn't judge all women by--
Of course not.
Only the ones l
was involved with...
and l don't just
mean professionally.
Kleptomaniacs, nymphomaniacs,
pyromaniacs...
Take my fiancee, for instance.
Your...fiancee?
She was the daughter
of my violin teacher.
We were engaged to be married,
the invitations were out...
l was being fitted
for a tailcoat...
and twenty-four hours
before the wedding...
she died of influenza.
l'm sorry.
lt just proves my contention
that women are unreliable...
and not to be trusted.
Good night, Mrs. Ashdown.
Good night, Mr. Ashdown.
Sie sputen mach lnverness.
Doch steigen die aus.
Dort mussen wir
finden den Valladon.
l will take that.
Let's see now.
One, two, three, four, five.
How do you get to Glennahurich?
How far is it?
Glennahurich...
You know, a valley
with a yew tree.
lt's about a mile
out of the town.
Why do you want to go there?
Well, it sounds like
a nice, peaceful place...
for a picnic.
lt's a peaceful place,
right enough...
but it's no place for a picnic.
Why not?
Because it's a cemetery.
The three boxes!
ls that it, Holmes?
The two small ones--
they must be children's coffins.
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,
dust to dust.
ln sure and certain hope...
of the Resurrection
to eternal life...
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ...
and the love of God...
and the Communion
of the Holy Spirit...
be with us all.
Amen.
lt's so sad.
Sad and rather odd.
There were no flowers
and no mourners.
Good morning.
Morning.
Working you hard, dad?
No, not really.
You see,
this is healthy country.
Sometimes, you sit around
Then you get three in one day.
What happened?
An accident, aye.
A father and two sons,
they say.
They were found floating
in the loch.
Local people?
No, no. No one
around here knows 'em.
capsized in a swell...
but l don't believe it.
What do you believe?
Well, you may think
l'm an old fool...
an old drunk, but...
l've been living around
Loch Ness all me life.
Are you trying to tell us
it was the monster?
Damn right.
MacLaren saw the kids' faces...
when they were pulled
out of the water.
Looked just like old men.
They must've died of fright.
That's incredible.
ls it?
Last Easter Sunday,
the wife and me...
on our way to services,
when suddenly...
Ah, what's the use?
Here you are, dad.
Thank you. Thank you.
You seem like nice people.
lf you're wanting a holiday
in Scotland...
go to Loch Lomond,
go to Holy Loch...
but stay away from Loch Ness.
To think that people
still believe in that nonsense.
l mean, here we are, living
in the nineteenth century.
but l was relieved...
when he mentioned
a father and two boys.
lt couldn't have anything
to do with Emile.
the clue of the castle...
and the red runner,
whoever he may be.
lf they're
unidentified graves...
why are those boys
bringing flowers?
Because it's their brothers
who have just been buried.
Their brothers?
And they're not boys.
They're as tall
as they'll ever grow.
Hand me some pebbles.
Pebbles?
Take a look at their faces.
They are...how do you
call them in English?
Midgets.
Boys with the faces of old men.
l still don't see--
Would it help if l told you
they were acrobats?
Not at all.
Do you remember a tumbling act--
six brothers missing
from the circus?
That case you turned down.
l completely forgot.
Some of us are cursed with
memories like flypaper...
a staggering amount...
of miscellaneous data,
mostly useless.
Mr. Holmes...if those
are not children, then--
Quite.
The question now is,
who's in the third grave?
Holmes! She's fainted!
Hand me that lantern.
lt is Valladon, isn't it?
Obviously...but what
is not so obvious...
is why his wedding ring
has turned green...
and why there are three
dead canaries in the coffin.
White canaries.
You've a lovely view
of the loch from here...
as soon as the morning mist
rolls away.
lf you have a mind to do
any sightseeing...
here's a guide to all
Thank you.
This way, please.
l'll show you to your room.
l suppose you're putting
me in the basement.
No, your room's in the attic.
Good.
lt's the privy that's
in the basement.
Oh.
May l have your
wedding ring, please?
Just as l thought--
there is a distinct
difference in color...
between your ring
and your husband's...
which leads me to believe
that the cause of death...
was not drowning.
l wish you would stop that.
