:11:01
Holmes...where's
your self-control?
:11:04
Fair question.
:11:07
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
:11:09
Thoroughly...
:11:11
but this will
take care of it.
:11:28
There was nothing l could do...
:11:29
when he went on one of
his cocaine binges...
:11:31
except hope and pray that
some interesting case...
:11:34
would come along
to snap him out of it.
:11:38
Why are you being
so stubborn, Holmes?
:11:41
Why won't you go?
:11:44
lt's the final performance of
the lmperial Russian Ballet.
:11:49
The house has been
sold out for months.
:11:51
Tickets are going
at a guinea apiece.
:11:53
That's precisely it.
:11:55
Why should someone
send us two free tickets?
:11:58
Anonymously, at that.
:11:59
Well, whoever sent them
must be in great distress.
:12:01
The note says...
:12:02
''Please, you are the only man
in the world who can help me.''
:12:06
l suspect
it's some sort of plot.
:12:08
You mean, somebody wants
to lure us into a trap?
:12:10
Somebody wants to kill me.
:12:11
Kill you?
:12:12
That's right.
:12:14
lt's a plot
to bore me to death.
:12:15
l detest ballet.
:12:17
But this isn't just
any ballet.
:12:21
lt's ''Swan Lake.''
:12:43
You know, of course, Holmes...
:12:45
that swan isn't really a swan.
:12:48
lt's an enchanted princess.
:12:51
Mmm.
