01:59The End

02:29Mr. Holmes, right?

02:31Yes, that's right. Is that for him?

02:32Yes, sir.

02:33All right, then I'll take him. Thank you.

02:34It's the Queen Bee, wasn't it?

02:57Really?

02:57What did you say?

03:12I didn't say anything.

03:15Oh, I thought you said something.

03:17No.

03:19Oh.

03:22What did you say?

03:23I didn't say anything.

03:26No, I thought you said something.

03:28No.

03:30No.

03:30You know, Watson, the interesting thing about the queen bee is that she seldom leaves the hive

03:36and is generally followed and protected by the other bees.

03:39You just arrived.

04:02The messenger said it was for you.

04:04What is it?

04:15Well, it's obvious, isn't it?

04:18Yes.

04:19Holmes, you never told me.

04:21Told you what?

04:22Well, I haven't got one.

04:26Well, I hadn't until now.

04:29Well, where did this come from?

04:30I don't know.

04:32I was in there.

04:35Well, what do we do now?

04:37Well, you're the doctor.

04:39Don't you know?

04:41I'm not that kind of a doctor.

04:44Oh, I see.

04:45Well, shall we examine the matter a little more closely?

04:51Can you pick it up?

04:54Do you mean, am I strong enough?

04:56No, no, no.

04:56I mean, do you know how?

04:58There's a sort of special way of handling these things, isn't there?

05:02Nothing special about it at all.

05:03You just pick it up.

05:06Oh, just pick it up, eh?

05:09Oh, well, I'll try.

05:12I don't know.

05:16Well, Watson, there's nothing to it at all.

05:19I told you.

05:20He's a good-looking chap, isn't he?

05:25Sing it a lullaby.

05:27What?

05:28Lullaby.

05:30Oh, yes, yes, yes.

05:33Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves.

05:38Britons never, never, never will be slaves.

05:43He doesn't like that.

05:45He's crying.

05:47I can hear him.

05:48So what do we do now?

05:51Perhaps he's hungry.

05:53Yes, of course, of course, he's hungry.

05:55Well, make him a cup of tea, Watson.

05:57Babies don't drink tea.

05:58They drink milk.

06:00Oh, do they?

06:00Oh, well, then, make him some milk.

06:04Perhaps that's the mother.

06:14Not the mother.

06:15What's that?

06:19It's a baby.

06:21Oh, so it is.

06:22Is it yours?

06:23Certainly not.

06:25Well, he's crying.

06:27Oh, really?

06:29Now, we've been able to reduce that without the aid of Scotland Yard.

06:33Oh, you know me.

06:33I'll stop him crying.

06:34Oh, yes, yes.

06:38The little mother.

06:40All right.

06:40Why, he stops.

06:48So he has.

06:49He has stopped.

06:51But he likes you.

06:53Well, I'll be darned.

06:55Oh, no.

06:57Please, Lestrade.

06:58No profanity in front of the child.

07:00Who does it belong to?

07:03It came in a basket.

07:04Babies don't come in baskets, Holmes.

07:08They've got to belong to someone.

07:11Well, maybe there's a nurse.

07:17There is.

07:19It's addressed to you.

07:19Well, dear Mr. Holmes, please keep Tony for me.

07:26I will contact you as soon as I can.

07:29Signed, Madame Henri Durand.

07:31Madame Durand?

07:33Mean anything to you, Lestrade?

07:35Well, yes.

07:35That's why I'm here.

07:37I wanted to talk to you about him.

07:38You mean her?

07:40No, I mean him.

07:42Him?

07:43No, not him.

07:44His father, Dr. Henri Durand.

07:47Dr. Henri Durand.

07:48Oh, yes, yes.

07:50You mean the young French inventor?

07:52Yes, that's right.

07:53This must be his son.

07:55Dr. Durand was kidnapped yesterday morning,

07:58just as he was leaving the Admiralty.

07:59I didn't read anything about that in the papers.

08:02No, it's been a very well-guarded secret.

08:04Hardly anybody knew Dr. Durand was in this country.

08:07Well, then it might be safe to assume for the moment

08:09that Madame Durand learned the whereabouts of her husband,

08:12went after him,

08:13and fearing for the child,

08:14sent him here in our safe kingdom.

08:15Mm-hmm.

08:16Have you any need at all

08:18as to who could possibly have kidnapped, Dr. Durand?

08:20Well, at the moment, none at all.

08:22Where do they stay in the street?

08:24At a mansion at the Admiralty Leavendom,

08:26just up Barclay Square.

08:28Well, then I think that should be our first call.

08:30Let's go.

08:31No, no, no.

08:33Someone has to mind the baby, Watson.

08:36Mind the baby?

08:38Yes.

08:39Me?

08:40Who else?

08:43Well, I don't know.

08:44Couldn't we find a nursemaid?

08:46Do you know any nursemaid?

08:49Well, I haven't had much use for her lately.

08:52And I think it would be wiser

08:53if no one knew that the child were here

08:55for the time being, Watson.

08:56Madame Durand obviously had reason

08:58to believe that his safety was threatened.

09:01Yeah.

09:05Hey, he's starting to cry.

09:07Yes, we can hear that.

09:09Well, sing him a lullaby.

09:11Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the way.

09:17Britain!

09:18That doesn't sound like a lullaby to me.

09:20Well, you think of one.

09:22It's been a long time since anybody sang me a lullaby.

09:25What's up is when we've got you?

09:32A lullaby.

09:33An lullaby.

09:33Well, I'd say that.

09:34Run.

09:34A lullaby.

09:35A lullaby.

09:36A lullaby.

09:37A lullaby.

09:38A lullaby.

09:40of course our trouble is we're far too many suspects every country in the world would like

09:51to lay its hands in this invention or dr. durand tell me lestrade what is the invention exactly

09:57well it's a it's a sort of a ship that sails underwater i don't understand it myself but

10:04they say that any country that has it would control the seas in the event of war

10:09i see then i presume that dr durand's presence in this country has something to do with his

10:14invention oh more than that yes his being here is part of a secret naval treaty between france and

10:20britain has anybody ever tried to contact this dr durand before to your knowledge no not that we

10:27know of things are completely blank wall

10:32when did you return from your land it was about an hour and a half ago sir where did madame send

10:43you to the chemist sir to pick out some things for the baby how long were you gone half an hour at the

10:48master had anyone called on madame durand prior to your departure to the chemist no sir we've had

10:55no callers at the house at all today sir not even a messenger perhaps ah yes sir there had been a

11:01message who delivered it a man uniformed no sir he wore a dark suit and was about um 40 years of age

11:09did he wait for a reply to his message no sir he left immediately he left immediately yes sir

11:15you're quite sure he didn't wait for a reply to his note no sir he didn't

11:19something wrong sir come astrayed

11:22well back to baker street we've overlooked the most obvious danger danger to whom

11:27holmes holmes

11:30holmes will you please stop long enough to explain why we're racing like this

11:40quick industry give me a hand

11:46careful now get him on the couch

11:49there's blood in his head yes i know i've been a fool

11:52they came in i i i know watson don't try and talk i know what happened i i i should have known it was

11:59going to happen what did happen here get his medical cases in his room

12:02holmes they maybe they struck me on the back of the head i it's all right watson don't try to

12:08look here

12:10holmes it's all right watson it's all right they got him got who the child they've taken the child

12:21don't worry watson we'll get him back but but you don't even know where he is

12:26that's true but i know how i can find him watson i know how i can find him

12:30turn to the case of the baker street nursemaids

12:41the problem was an obvious one

12:44dr durand had been kidnapped

12:47and now his child

12:49there was no question

12:51that with his sons and wife's safety threatened

12:53the poor man could be made to divulge the secret

12:56that both france and england were trying to guard

13:00holmes worked with feverish haste for some lead some clue

13:04that would tell us which one of the many possible foreign powers

13:08was responsible for this outrage

13:11his only aid was a scrap of paper

13:14the paper that accompanied the child

13:17yeah but how can you be sure

13:20well madame durand received the note from the messenger

13:23and although she followed its instructions

13:25she feared the life of her child so she brought him here

13:28you can see this piece of paper has been torn from a much larger sheet

13:31and the paper is neither english nor french

13:34and you expect to be able to tell from

13:37all this exactly where the paper was made

13:40certainly writing paper is almost as distinctive as writing itself

13:43its contents

13:44method of manufacture and construction

13:47differ enormously from country to country

13:49now watch this

13:50that's it

13:58what's it

13:59yes what does it mean

14:01there are only three embassies in london who'd use such a paper

14:04it now only remains to investigate each one

14:07now that's the kind of job i can do

14:10i'll have men deployed round each of the embassies

14:12no one will be allowed to enter or leave until

14:14all right i'll take it

14:19excuse me dr watson but i must speak to mr holmes immediately sir

14:27come in

14:28is that for me

14:30yes sir it is

14:31it was delivered to the house by the same man

14:33as delivered the last message to madame durand

14:34he asked me to deliver it to you immediately sir

14:36dear mr holmes

14:53your entrance into this situation was for me

14:57an unexpected development

14:59now that it has occurred however

15:02i'm certain that you will by some method

15:04discover the whereabouts of my guests

15:09any attempt to free them at this time would be for them disastrous

15:13i offer this alternative

15:16when dr durand has given me the information i ask of him

15:21he and his family will be left unharmed

15:24i will leave england immediately thereafter

15:27their fate now rests in your hands

15:30count tenno

15:33now we know which one of the three

15:36i can surround the house close out the entire area

15:39he says he'll kill dr durand if that happens

15:42and i believe he will

15:44but the man must be an absolute fanatic

15:47yes he is

15:49what do we do now

15:51we think

15:58you delivered the message to the butler

16:05yes your captain

16:06and then as you instructed i waited and watched

16:09the butler left the house in a few minutes and proceeded directly to 221 b beger street

16:14good

16:15good

16:16then holmes has the message

16:18and i believe it's wise enough to know that i'm not bluffing

16:21they will try nothing for the present

16:23but they will attempt to stop us at the border

16:25your departure by boat has been arranged your excellency

16:28it will arrive at the appointed place on the coast at 7 30 tomorrow morning

16:32and we will have dr durand secret long before then

17:54tell me what sort of a trick do you think we try to prove

17:57to play on you count tenor

18:04my men are extremely competent

18:07i have no doubt they are count

18:09and now the purpose of your visit gentlemen

18:13simply stated we wish the safe return of mr and mrs durand and their child

18:18stated simply enough

18:20to begin with of course they are not here

18:23you seem to doubt my word dr watson

18:33it would appear so wouldn't it count

18:35very clever dr watson

18:40well well it's usually not too difficult to prove a liar a liar

18:47and now the purpose of your visit gentlemen

18:53to make you an offer shall we say count

18:55what kind of offer mr holmes

18:57a guarantee of safe passage out of england

19:02for the safe return of the durand family

19:05i believe i can guarantee my own safe passage out of england

19:09every port every exit will be blocked by the authorities

19:12the authorities

19:14the authorities would attempt to block every port and exit

19:17but we'll have to wait to see if they can succeed

19:20the police can always force their way into this house you know count

19:24and i can pull this bell cord

19:27dr durand will be killed immediately and automatically in either case

19:31yes but what assurance have we that you won't kill dr durand anyway

19:34in order to stop other countries getting it secret

19:37i'm afraid you will have to wait to see about that too dr watson

19:41then i gather that we can't come to an agreement with you count

19:45i'm surprised at your knave team mr holmes

19:49you have nothing to offer me

21:52Upstairs.

22:22Bad homes, not bad at all. My hand hurts.

22:27Oh, well look, you must keep your wrists stiff and swing from the shoulder.

22:32Wrists stiff and swing from the shoulder, yes. That's right.

22:37Look, I'll show you with me. Yes.

22:40Now, wrist stiff, swing from the shoulder.

22:45Yes.

22:50You know, you're a little lifeless kind of work.

22:52Oh, nonsense, nonsense. It's just a matter of technique.

22:54Mm-hmm. Well, let's go upstairs and get a bit more practice.

22:56Yes, let's.

22:57Yes, let's.

22:59Yes.

23:02Yes.

23:04Yes, yes, yes.

23:05Yes.

23:07Yes, yes.

23:09Yes.

23:10She says the baby needs something to eat.

23:27Go ask Lorenz if it's all right.

23:30I'm not supposed to leave my post.

23:32Don't leave.

23:34Call him.

23:40Now, Mr. Lorenz, I'll show you.

23:53All right.

23:54Thought you were going to get away with it, didn't you?

23:56Just keep your hands up and walk straight ahead.

24:00Stop where you are.

24:02Turn around and face the room.

24:04Put your hands down.

24:10Yes, I see what you mean now.

24:18Now, fast!

24:20Mr. Holmes, I don't know what to say.

24:24We had given up hope.

24:25Well, we did the best we could, Madame Duro.

24:28It was magnificent, gentlemen.

24:29My government and I'm certain yours will be eternally grateful.

24:33You're Dr. Watson, are you not?

24:34Yes, I am.

24:35Gratitude is beyond words at a moment like this.

24:38Holmes.

24:39Watson.

24:40Is everything all right?

24:42Yes, everything's absolutely under control.

24:44Thanks, Neil.

24:45Oh, I didn't do anything.

24:47That's what I mean.

24:49Well, I suppose everybody's quite safe.

24:52Yes, thank you, Lestrade.

24:53Everyone, including the youngest member of the family.

24:56Yes.

24:57She's hungry, but she's safe.

24:59Oh, well, we can get her something to...

25:00Her?

25:03Yes.

25:05But it's a he.

25:07No, her.

25:08It's a he?

25:09Her, the name is Tony, isn't it?

25:12Yes.

25:13But she's a she.

25:14Hmm.

25:15I say, Watson, it seems we were entertaining a young lady.

25:18Perfect disguise, though, isn't it?

25:20Mm-hmm.

25:21I say, Watson, it seems we were entertaining a young lady.

25:22I say, Watson, it seems we were entertaining a young lady.
