:08:00
Permit me, gentlemen,
:08:02
to introduce
my colleagues,
:08:03
Anton Petzfall and
Matias Churney.
:08:06
How do you do?
:08:07
My associate Dr. Watson?
:08:09
How do you do, gentlemen?
:08:10
How do you do.
:08:11
Mr. Holmes?
:08:12
Thank you.
:08:14
Dr. Watson?
:08:15
Thank you.
:08:16
A glass of
wine, gentlemen?
:08:18
No, thank you.
:08:19
For several years now,
:08:21
a powerful group
has been seeking
:08:23
to gain control
of Rovenia for
personal gain.
:08:26
The assassination
of His Majesty
:08:28
was their first step
in that direction.
:08:30
It is to prevent
the second step
:08:31
that we have sent for you.
:08:33
For the sake
of our people,
:08:35
it is imperative that
:08:37
King Stephan's
son Nikolas
:08:39
be returned safely
to his country.
:08:40
Is he here in England?
:08:42
Oh, yes.
:08:43
His Majesty
has been educated
:08:44
at one of your
public schools.
:08:45
A wise move,
sir, very sound.
:08:48
Do you feel
that you yourselves
:08:49
are unequal to your task?
:08:50
We're up against a
clever and ruthless group
:08:52
to whom we are
all well known.
:08:54
Are they aware of His
Majesty's identity?
:08:56
No, no one knows
but ourselves.
:08:59
His Majesty was
brought to England
:09:00
as a child incognito.
:09:03
Do you have any plans for
his return to Rovenia?
:09:05
We have a plane in
Retinues to leave tonight.
:09:07
However, several
steps will be
necessary on route,
:09:10
and at any one
of these stops
:09:12
His Majesty's life
may be attempted.
:09:14
Mr. Holmes, for the sake
not only of our country,
:09:18
but for liberty and good
government everywhere,
:09:21
we implore you to
undertake this mission.
:09:23
Well, now, Holmes, you've
given us your promise.
:09:25
You need a
rest, you know,
:09:26
you've not been up
the mark lately.
:09:28
I'm afraid we'll
have to postpone
our holiday, Watson.
:09:29
But think of your health?
:09:31
Sorry, old fellow.
:09:33
Gentlemen, in the interest
of democratic government,
:09:36
I shall be happy
to do my utmost
:09:37
to see that His Majesty
reaches Rovenia in safety.
:09:40
We thank you, Mr. Holmes.
:09:42
Now, if we are
to leave tonight,
:09:44
time is short and
there are certain
:09:45
precautionary measures
:09:47
that I should
like to discuss with you.
:09:48
Watson, now, come along.
:09:50
Will you excuse us?
:09:51
Come along, old chap.
:09:53
I suggest that you
return to Baker Street,
:09:54
pack a bag and
have a car ready
:09:56
to take us to the plane.
:09:57
Holmes, I don't like
the whole business.
:09:58
Now don't get
lost, goodnight
