:38:03
Now that you have failed
to warn Holmes off,
:38:05
our only safety lies
in first eliminating him.
:38:08
But Holmes is
not our objective.
:38:10
No, but he stands between
us and our objective.
:38:12
It seems such a pity to
eliminate Sherlock Holmes.
:38:15
You may accuse me of being
unduly tenderhearted,
:38:18
but to destroy
so great a man
:38:19
in order to
reach our target...
:38:21
But the target
we must reach
:38:23
before we
arrive at Algiers.
:38:24
There's still
plenty of time.
:38:27
You're right, of course.
:38:29
I should like to
have given Holmes
a chance, but...
:38:31
Good.
:38:32
Then tonight it'll
be done my way.
:38:34
You really enjoy your
work, don't you, Mirko?
:38:43
I promise you Mirko is
more than competent.
:38:47
We cannot afford
to take chances.
:38:49
And Nikolas must
be disposed of
:38:50
before we reach Algiers.
:38:55
That's because you
don't know Mirko.
:38:57
I've used him before,
and I promise you,
:38:58
he never fails.
:39:03
Because your
strong-arm methods
:39:04
are apt to be too noisy.
:39:06
With Mirko it's
swift and silent.
:39:08
Understand?
:39:12
Satisfied?
:39:14
I'm sure Mr. Gubeck
is convinced.
:39:22
Good evening, gentlemen.
:39:23
Good evening.
:39:25
Mr. Mirko insists that
losers pay off the bet.
:39:26
We're delighted.
:39:28
Won't you sit down?
:39:30
What do you have?
:39:32
A brandy for me.
:39:33
Brandy.
:39:34
Whisky and soda for me.
:39:36
Whisky and soda and
three brandies, please.
:39:37
Pay nothing for
losing the game.
:39:39
No ice in mine, Steward.
:39:40
I can't think why you
ruin good whiskey
:39:41
by putting ice in it.
:39:43
You see, Mr. Holmes,
:39:44
losing the game
always carries a penalty,
:39:46
sometimes greater
than others.
:39:47
Well, if one isn't willing
to pay the penalty,
:39:49
one shouldn't
play the game.
:39:53
Thank you.
:39:57
Your health,
and long life.
