1:36:10
All right, Holmes.
Want to confide in us?
1:36:13
Whenever he starts whistling...
1:36:15
l know he's getting close
to a solution.
1:36:17
lt's nothing new, actually.
1:36:19
We've come across
this situation before.
1:36:21
We have? Where?
1:36:23
At the ballet.
1:36:24
Ballet?
1:36:25
There's a lake,
and there's a castle...
1:36:27
and there's a swan that
isn't really a swan...
1:36:29
or in this case...
1:36:30
a monster that
isn't really a monster.
1:36:34
Then what is it?
1:36:35
What is it, indeed,
that feeds on canary birds...
1:36:38
and sulfuric acid
and has an engine for a heart?
1:36:41
An engine?
1:36:42
The stethoscope is a very
sensitive instrument...
1:36:44
and water is an excellent
conductor of sound.
1:36:46
There is no doubt
that we are dealing with...
1:36:48
a mechanical monster.
1:36:50
Oh!
1:36:51
Not only is it equipped
with an artificial heart...
1:36:53
it also has artificial lungs.
1:36:56
Judging from the bubbles
on the surface of the lake...
1:36:58
it uses some form of air pump.
1:37:01
You think my husband was
involved in all this?
1:37:04
Yes, Madame Valladon,
l'm sure of it.
1:37:07
But why would anybody want to
build a mechanical monster?
1:37:10
Just to scare people?
1:37:11
Not very likely.
1:37:14
Why did they try to keep me
from finding my husband?
1:37:18
And why was he
buried anonymously?
1:37:20
l think l have
a pretty good notion...
1:37:22
of what they're up to...
1:37:23
the Society for the Preservation
of Scottish Monuments--
1:37:27
better known
as the Diogenes Club!
1:37:29
Diogenes Club?
1:37:32
Come in!
1:37:35
Mr. Ashdown, l have a bottle
of champagne for you.
1:37:38
A bottle of champagne!
1:37:42
l didn't order it.
1:37:43
No, indeed.
You are to deliver it.
1:37:45
Those are my instructions.
1:37:46
lnstructions from whom?
Deliver it where?
1:37:49
l wouldn't know, sir...
1:37:50
but there's a carriage
waiting for you downstairs.
1:37:54
Are you sure you've got
the right Mr. Ashdown?
1:37:57
Quite sure, Mr. Holmes.
