Mister Holmes!
Sherlock Holmes and Little Black Men
Episode four
I went to buy food in a shop, I was absent for only a half an hour.
My god! My new tea set, chair, table cloth, silverware!
The black man!
I should have foreseen that. Should've organised an ambush
Holmes, have you read about robberies through chimneys in the newspapers?
The method is always the same.
Nobody sees the criminals, small black footprints, they steal candlesticks and silverware.
It's a usual robbery and has nothing to do with our spy.
Let's eat, huh?
No, I feel these are the links of the same chain.
He was looking for the draft, and the candlesticks and silverware were just a diversion.
Inspector,
- I'll ask you to go up the chimney - What? Again? - We need to check.
- Maybe there is evidence. Watson, we will get to the roof, obviously, by the ladder, and - But
Inspector, meet you at the pipe.
Watson
It's him
He's clearly making signs to someone
Look, he has an accomplice.
A second one! Which one is ours?
Third one! Fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh! My god, they're seven! No, eight. God!
- The ninth one! Holmes, it's a whole gang - Calm down, Watson, it's just Lestrade
Holmes, you were right. Look what I found in the pipe
Bend down! Hide! Oh, they noticed him
Dancing men. Fortunately I know this code.
"He llo, what 's the catch?". Lucky they thought Lestrade was their mate.
Answer something back to them, Lestrade
- What can I answer? I don't know the language - Well, just wave in response
"Today is the meeting on the boxer, fight at ten"
Answer them, Lestrade, wave wave wave
- "On the boxer", where is it? - Elementary, Watson.
- Roman amphitheater at Tottenham Court Road - Where boxing is held. James Corbet against Bob Fitzsimens. "Fight at ten?"
It means Bob will crush James in the 10th round.
Lestrade, you will attend the meeting.
Lestrade, Lestrade do you see anyone?
No one
Strange. Doctor, can you check the time, but carefully
- Ten to ten - I don't understand anything.
They should already be here. Maybe your dunces, Lestrade, scared them away?
I've picked the best ones, they are aces of the aces of Scotland Yard
I'd love some hot tea
Maybe they are inside. Look, the match has ended. Corbet won in the tenth round
It says ON the boxer, ON, not IN, Watson!
What time is it?
Here, Big Ben will be visible. Five to ten.
God, I'm an idiot! Lestrade, hit me with a stick. Watson, if you're going to write about this case,
write in big font IDIOT three times and underline it. ON the boxer! I should have guessed straight away.
Follow me
- But the ambush - No time, the three of us will take them
Big Ben
Named after the greatest boxer in England Benjamin Caunt. Big Ben is the boxer
Maybe I have 10 worker? Is this who?
Is it familiar?
