:13:00
Moriarty is as curious
about my movement

:13:03
as I am about his
:13:05
so I sit here and wait
for him to come to me

:13:08
And he'll come,
:13:10
never doubt it.
:13:13
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
:13:14
So, you fiddle
while Rome burns.

:13:16
A daring
metaphor Watson.

:13:18
And what are you doing
with that inferno fiddle,

:13:20
with those flies.
:13:22
I was observing
the reaction

:13:23
on the common housefly
:13:25
of the chromatic scale.
:13:27
A brilliant experiment.
:13:29
Yes it will be,
:13:31
if I can find a note
that annoys the housefly

:13:32
then might need only
play that one note

:13:35
and all the
houseflies disappear.

:13:37
Amazing.
:13:39
No, no, no.
:13:40
Elementary,
my dear Watson,

:13:41
purely elementary.
:13:43
I expect that will
be the young lady.

:13:45
On the contrary,
:13:46
I suggest an
elderly gentlemen

:13:48
perhaps a touch of
gout in his right leg.

:13:55
Sir Ronald, I'm
delighted to see you.

:13:56
How do you do, Holmes?
:13:58
Let me take your
hat and stick.

:13:59
Oh thank you.
:14:00
I don't think you know
Dr. Watson, do you?

:14:02
Watson, this is
Ronald Ramsgate,

:14:03
Constable of
the town London

:14:05
where all he has to do
:14:07
is to keep his eyes
on the crowned jewels.

:14:08
How do you do, sir?
:14:09
Holmes has often spoken
of you, Dr. Watson.

:14:11
You haven't
dropped in like this

:14:12
for a long time,
Sir Ronald.

:14:14
Won't you sit down
and have a cup of tea.

:14:15
Thank you no, no.
:14:15
I've come to consult you
:14:17
on a rather
peculiar matter.

:14:19
Now just have
a look at that.

:14:21
Doesn't it strike you
that the handwriting is...

:14:23
Yes, yes.
:14:24
That's because it's
written with a left hand.

:14:27
Star of Delhi will never
reach the Tower of London.

:14:30
Huh.
:14:32
Curious,
:14:33
and anonymous.
:14:34
And what is the
star of Delhi?

:14:36
Probably the largest
emerald in the worid,

:14:38
a gift to her majesty
from the Maharajah Rapur.

:14:40
Oh, I shouldn't worry
about this, Sir Ronald.

:14:42
It's a typical
crank letter

:14:44
besides no
professional thief

:14:46
would risk stealing
so famous an emerald.

:14:47
You can't break it up.
:14:49
He certainly couldn't
sell it as it is.

:14:51
Perhaps not but in
my position of trust

:14:52
I can't afford to
take any chances.

:14:54
I wonder whether you
could possibly manage

:14:55
to be on hand when
the jewel is delivered.

:14:57
Now when will that be?
:14:59
This weekend.
