:50:00
nobody there.
:50:02
So, l tried to find
Jonah, Limited.
:50:06
No such company exists.
:50:09
How decidedly odd.
:50:11
Madame Valladon, can
you think of any reason...
:50:13
why your husband
should've lied to you...
:50:15
about these things?
:50:17
Emile? Never.
:50:19
He loves me, and l love him.
:50:22
l gathered that much.
:50:26
l went to the police.
:50:28
They said they would...
:50:29
send out a missing
persons report...
:50:31
but they didn't
sound too encouraging.
:50:34
Then l went to
the Belgian embassy.
:50:36
They suggested
l should consult you.
:50:39
You could've done worse.
:50:41
l was on my way here.
:50:43
Then suddenly there were
footsteps behind me...
:50:47
and a hand over my mouth...
:50:49
and a smell of chloroform,
and the next thing l knew...
:50:53
l was in the water.
:50:55
And then a man was
wrapping me in a blanket.
:50:58
Madame Valladon...
:50:59
somebody tried to
kill you last night.
:51:01
Do you have any idea
who could've done it?
:51:03
l don't understand any of it.
:51:06
Oh, what does it all
mean, Mr. Holmes?
:51:09
Where is my husband?
:51:10
You must help me find him.
:51:12
We'll do our best,
l assure you.
:51:17
Madame Valladon,
l want you to send...
:51:21
one more letter
to your husband.
:51:24
To Emile Valladon...
:51:28
Ashdown Street--
what was that number?
:51:30
Thirty-two.
:51:33
What do you want me
to say in the letter?
:51:35
Nothing.
:51:36
Nothing?
:51:37
Holmes...
:51:39
you're sending
an empty sheet of paper...
:51:42
to an empty shop?
:51:43
That empty shop is
obviously being used...
:51:45
as an accommodation
address or letter drop.
:51:48
But what gets dropped
must be picked up.
:51:50
The question is how
and by whom...
:51:54
and why?
