:13:00
Elementary my dear Watson.
:13:02
Invariably when you
go to a cricket match
:13:04
you fill your flask
with my best whiskey.
:13:06
Just now I
noted in passing
:13:08
that the flask was empty.
:13:09
A single whiff informed me
:13:11
that it had been
recently filled,
:13:12
obviously
after filling it,
:13:13
you would
pour the contents
:13:15
back into the bottle,
:13:16
therefore you would
have changed your mind
:13:17
about a cricket match.
:13:19
You amaze me Holmes.
:13:20
You're positively amazing.
:13:23
Come in Mrs. Hudson.
:13:26
Oh excuse me, Mr. Holmes,
:13:27
there's a gentleman
:13:28
and he's very insistent.
:13:30
Well I do declare
:13:31
he followed me
right up the stairs.
:13:32
Didn't I ask you to wait?
:13:34
My good woman you
may ask me to wait
:13:35
but not the
British Empire.
:13:37
Mr. Holmes, I must talk
to you immediately.
:13:40
How are you Mr. Ahren?
:13:41
That will be all now
thank you Mrs. Hudson.
:13:43
My good woman indeed.
:13:46
Ahren?
:13:47
I seem to know that name.
:13:48
Don't tell me,
my dear Watson,
:13:49
that you don't recognize
:13:50
Mr. Ahren of
the home office.
:13:52
Why yes of course.
:13:53
I knew you the
moment you came in.
:13:54
How are you Ahren?
:13:55
Did you see what the
Navy did to the Army
:13:57
at Lords yesterday?
:13:58
All right Watson, go
on with your breakfast.
:13:59
Mr. Holmes, I am
here on a matter
:14:01
of the utmost secrecy.
:14:03
I assure you Mr. Ahren
:14:05
that Doctor Watson is the
very sole of discretion.
:14:06
Won't you sit down?
:14:08
By the by Watson
:14:09
please be so
good as to keep
:14:11
tapping on the table
with your knife.
:14:12
Tapping on the
table with a knife?
:14:13
It will break
the wavelength
:14:14
if by any chance there's a
dictograph in the walls.
:14:16
All really.
:14:19
Cigarette?
:14:20
No thank you.
:14:23
You can stop now Watson.
:14:26
Well Mr. Ahren
:14:28
I take it you
have called on me
:14:30
in connection
with the kidnapping
:14:31
of John Grayson in
America last night.
:14:34
Why yes.
:14:36
Yes exactly.
:14:39
Grayson was
carrying a document
:14:40
of a very
confidential nature.
:14:42
Indeed.
:14:43
It's contents
were of such
:14:44
great international
importance
:14:46
that I am not at
liberty to reveal them
:14:47
but if that document
:14:49
falls into the
hands of the enemy,
:14:51
I can only say
:14:53
it will be
absolutely disastrous
:14:54
for this government
and our allies.
:14:57
For that reason
:14:58
we did not wish
to transport it
