Emile my dearest one.

[speaking french]

Yes Madame.

My dearest Emile,

my husband has
changed his plans.

There is no other
way to say goodbye.

Remember me in your heart.

Who betrayed me in Paris

and why did you
wait so long?

I find your ladyship's
attitude surprising.

The answers to
those questions

are no concern of yours.

On my knees I beg you,

I employ you
to show mercy.

I'm not in the business
of mercy Madame.

I haven't the money.

Even if I wished

how could I without
my husband knowing?

Oh you'd be exceedingly
ill advised

not to make an effort.

Do your worst.

You will not have
a penny from me,

coward!

My grandsons were
punished enough.

I hear from them
only seldom.

They wish to spare me
their misery I think.

This monster who brought
about their downfall?

He lives and
breathes Mr. Holmes

with a smiling face

and a heart of marble.

You should have
come to me sooner.

If only I'd known
of you sooner.

A friend gave
me your name.

He has a high regard,

for your sense
of justice.

Do you read poetry?

Try a leaf.

CAM devil.

This is the only
clue I can offer you.

Maybe it will help.

I wish nothing for
myself Mr. Holmes.

It is too late for that.

I wish only

to save others.

3:45 for London.

I felt great
sadness there.

To think that
that house

must have reverberated
to the sounds

of those boys
growing up.

Man who preys
upon weakness

with a smiling face

and a heart of marble.

A master blackmailer.

I've heard whisper of him

yet no one has put
a name to him.

Well there's no
mention of blackmail.

Even a whisper of
a newspaper column.

You have reported it?

Of her two grandchildren,

George the elder,

and Vike Kroft

was caught in a moment
of indiscretion,

referred to the paper
as the Badger Game.

It seems to
involve a gentleman

being lured to the
bed of a prostitute

then being discovered

Infle Grande Delecto
by a third party.

As usual the sensational
press has got it wrong.

The lady was an
actress that is true

but it was no
[unintelligible]

Mrs. Hudson!

He was married Holmes

into one of the highest
family's in the land.

The paper's made
plenty of that.

And the younger boy?

Edward.

Now, he revenged
for his brother,

took a revolver
to the footman,

who's name was,

uh Veitch,

burst in upon him,

shot him in the face.

The man lived

but was disfigured
for life.

After the trial
he disappeared.

It is Veitch we must find

to lead us to our prize.

Ms. Hudson are
you not well?

Of course I'm well.

Then please you know I
hate the smell of cabbage.

Surely the brothers would
know they're tormenter.

The older brother fled
the country in disgrace.

Edward joined him having
served his sentence,

they're now living richly
somewhere in France.

Goodbye Mrs. Hudson.

Thank you.

There is one curiosity.

C.A.M Devil.

Read it for clues
if you wish.

I rather liked Henneson.

But later.

I'd prefer you to
direct your energies

towards the
gossip columnists.

The Grasslands.

The Grasslands Watson

for which our
serpent lies.

Do tell us where
you're going Charlotte.

Oh yes do tell.

Lottie where
are you going?

Shall I, dearest.

What's that my love?

Tell them where we're
going for our honeymoon.

I've no objections.

It's Buddley Solterton.

How romantic.

It is actually very.

I shall have to choose

somewhere abroad
for a honeymoon.

Paris or Rome.

You may Daphne.

But if one's fate is
to marry a soldier,

abroad may well be
one's whole life.

And your honeymoon
Lady Eva?

Have you and Harry
decided yet?

Florence,

Naples,

Constantinople
I think.

Sounds delightful.

Now you've made
him envious.

Not at all.

Charlotte my dear,

I must return
to barracks.

Shall I see you
this evening?

No, duties forbid.

Our regimental
dinner alas.

Ladies.

Lottie he is gorgeous.

He's divine.

How'd you get so
lucky Charlotte?

But where is
Buddley Solterton?

Oh I'm so happy
for you Lottie.

What is this?

It's not in my hand.

My dear Colonel

you don't expect me

to give you the
original do you?

Where did you get this?

Who gave it to you?

Oh well,

who but the object
of your affections.

I don't believe it.

It's not possible.

What do you want from me?

Two hundred pounds!

What?

For it all to
be blown away.

Never!

I won't part with a penny.

I'll see you
in hell first.

Think of your lovely
bride Colonel.

What have you done to me?

One has to ask oneself

how much butter
can one eat?

Dotty Martian apparently

got seventeen salt
and pepper parts.

Seventeen?

It's true.

I was thinking of a
way of dealing with it

was to... Help me.

Was to mail her politely,

always useful until
the awful day

when always useless,

she said to the Duchess.

No.

Yes, it's true.

Lillie overheard her
didn't you Lillie?

Yes my lady.

Harry wanted us to
be married at sea

on a pirate ship with
only the crew invited

but one really
can't can we?

No my dear
one really can't.

I made an extremely
foolish wager

but I ended up
boxing a dragoon.

And will you mend
for the nuptials,

my dear fellow,
in three days?

You have a small
flutter in itself.

Thick socks for cold feet.

You can rarely hopes
they won't be needed.

Yeah my grandfather
fancied himself

as something
of a pugilist.

He was a fortho.

I remember one
summer in Ireland,

I must have been about

eight years old I suppose.

He decided to
give me a lesson,

I've never been so
frightened in my life.

Lottie what is it?

Lottie?

What's the problem?

There's some letters.

What?

Looks like it's goodbye
Buddley Solterton.

I must go to her.

No my angel.

Prince Muir is about to
marry Baroness Haganlod.

Lost his first wife,
Princess Mary Devagram

ten years ago.

Lord Rosebury has
accepted an invitation

to dine at the Cutler's
Feast in Sheffield.

You're not trying Watson.

Well really Holmes?

I've been reading
things out

since half past
eight this morning.

You haven't reacted
to a single article.

I shall react
I assure you

the moment you
read out something

which catches
my attention.

Oh this is interesting.

Lord Hockstein of
English Cricketers

are leaving next month

for Philadelphia
and Toronto.

What on earth does
that continent

know about cricket?

The honorable Miss Miles

has broken off
her engagement

to Colonel Dorking

two days before
the wedding.

The most important item

in a woman's
appearance this winter

will be her headgear.

Yes?

I've come to light
the fire for you sir.

Not at the
moment thank you.

Go away.

Inspector?

Mr. Sherlock Holmes?

Yes.

It's from Colonel Dorking.

Who delivered it?

His batman.

This is Colonel Dorking.

His engagement to the
honorable Miss Miles

was broken off yesterday.

You see I was listening.

It's Lastrade.

I don't know that
he's in Inspector.

Inspector?

Mr. Holmes,

you know what
I'm here for.

No prey tell me.

I've come for the letter,

which arrived in
that envelope.

It was stolen
from the rooms

of Colonel John Dorking

and delivered into the
hands of Doctor Watson

not twenty
minutes ago.

Do you have it?

Delivered, yes
but stolen?

It was a postal
note to me Lastrade.

It's police evidence.

The Colonel is dead.

Yes we know.

by his own hand.

Foul play is not
suspected is it?

How can you be
so sure it isn't?

Because the note
made it clear.

So,

why should he
write to you

if he's topping himself?

Did you know the man?

I had no knowledge of him.

Oh answer my question

or better still

show me the letter.

It will tell you nothing.

So it seems to me

on the point
of engaging you

he must have
changed his mind.

And took a
soldier's way out.

What does he mean by

We'll never
know Inspector.

But he was engaged to
be married damn it.

Yes.

Well wouldn't be
the first time

and it won't be the last.

So it was blackmail
you'd say?

Well done Lastrade.

No need for
sarcasm Mr. Holmes.

Your as much
in the dark,

as we are then

about who this
blackmailer might be.

You can be sure
of one thing

Colonel Dorking was
not his first victim

and will
not be his last.

Goodbye Lastrade.

You will let me know

if you hear of anything?

I made a hideous
mistake.

I need your services.

The only pity is

he didn't name
the blackmailer.

He did.

This came with the letter.

Charles Augustus
Milverton,

Appledore Towers,
Hampstead, Art Dealer.

Camouflage.

C-A-M,

C.A.M.

I've had to deal with

fifty murderers
in my career,

but the worst of
them never gave me

this sense of revulsion

which that I feel at
this moment towards

Mr. Charles
Augustus Milverton.

Milverton's lair.

It's a fortress.

Are you surprised?

Charles Augustus

Is he a foreigner,

Roman?

He's built his own prison.

He's a man who loathes
the human race.

What circumstances
might bring him to that?

Well boy brought up
in lonely isolation,

starved of affection.

Probably in one of
London's outer suburbs.

Outer, why not Soho
or Lesters Square.

Cause, my dear
Holmes, those places

with all there vices
team like wolves,

generosity of spirit
and humanity.

That's interesting.

Milverton.

Tonight I have an
assignment for you

if you're willing

to visit
an art gallery.

What will you be doing?

Don't you think that
the honorable Miss Miles

might be more
worth a visit

since Dorking
wrote to you?

That is past Watson.

What we must do now

is fastened ourselves
onto his next victim.

So this evening
I'm to discover

all I can about
Milverton?

His reputation.

His background.

And how those
perceive him.

Do I engage him
in conversation?

Yes but with caution.

His lordship has taken
ill at lunch my lady.

It is feared he may
have suffered a stroke.

Oh poor Uncle Charles.

Her ladyship is
with him now.

He should be pleased
that you're back.

Oh Diana.

May I see him?

He's sleeping.

Wait a little.

How bad is it?

Doctor Bainey's
not optimistic.

If he lives

he'll be paralyzed.

Eva there's a ceremony

that I have to
attend this evening.

The unveiling
of my portrait

by a young artist.

Just a brief appearance

but I promised him
that I'd be there.

Will you come
take care of him?

Of course.

Wait.

Yes?

Here's a maid.

Come about the job sir.

Well come in then.

So what have you got
to sell me my dear?

What is your name?

Lillie sir.

Awe, Lady Eva Blackwell.

It occurs to me

that I might
not have been

invited to this
viewing Holmes.

What if I'm not
admitted huh?

Holmes?

Is that Mr. Holmes
just going out?

Not that I
recognize Doctor.

Without more ado
ladies and gentlemen

I shall perform
the ceremony

for which we are gathered.

I think she's gentler

and more beautiful
than that.

I should insist on
Whistler painting you.

[speaking french].

It was a great honor.

I would like to go soon.

The boy has caught you to
perfection Lady Swinstead.

I don't believe we've
been introduced.

Charles Augustus
Milverton

at your service.

Excuse me,

Lady Swinstead,
I'm afraid.

My husband?

Eva.

Forgive me.

A most beautiful lady.

What?

Lady Swinstead.

I wonder though

if he's quite got
her mouth right.

Disaster.

Do I know you?

Yeah.

You work for
Milverton don't you?

Is he good to work for?

He would be if weren't
for the bloody plumbing.

Plumbing?

Always drippin
off the spout

and it's always
my fault.

Look what you've done.

That's my pint is it?

Now give us a kiss.

Get off.

Get off Robert.

Get off.

We never sent
for the plumber.

Oh hello.

It was Stokes.

Oh was it?

Robert this
is...what's your name?

Escott.

We plumb the depths,

it's my firms motto.

He says you sent for him.

Where's the trouble?

Awe, I see.

What's going on here?

I asked you what's
going on here?

He's come about the
plumbing Mr. Hebworth.

I took the liberty
of asking him

to come and look at it.

Didn't I Aggie?

You have no right
to take liberties.

I'm in charge here.

But we do need it
done Mr. Hebworth.

I mean, Mr. Milverton
was only saying yesterday

that there was a
very, ugly smell

coming from the piping.

Very well.

Carry on then.

He came in late

and went out early.

Thank you Mrs. Hudson.

Shame isn't it?

He was a fine
statesmen Watson.

It was his
diplomacy, I'm told,

which eased Anglo-French
relationships

at a most delicate
time some year's back.

To think that
I was there

with his widow when the
news was broken to her.

Milverton.

I exchanged a
word with him.

A more calculatingly
insincere smile

I never hope to see.

Charles Augustus.

And described to
me as a connoisseur

in art matters.

A businessman who
can make or raise

the fortune's
of any artist

to whom he
devotes himself.

Stems of hell!

He's a member of a
number of London clubs.

On the basis I suppose

that there are those
who do not oppose him.

Not the Diogenes.

I heard my
brother Microft

that he presented himself

and was turned away
with a flea in his ear.

You're gentleman
blackmailer

was born in Balum.

The only son of a
glazer and his wife.

Your source of
information?

Oh a variety of sources.

I applied your methods.

How have you faired?

I've entered the fortress

I'm a plumber of a
rising business,

Escotts my name.

The butler, who goes under
the name of Hebworth,

is none other than
Veitch the footman,

who was shot in the face.

I'm certain of it.

Perhaps he was
employed by Milverton

as a reward for
keeping his silence

during the Kroft scandal.

I wonder.

You got air compression
in your cell pipes

Mr. Hebworth.

That's the cause of the
evil smell in this house.

What this warrants is
a save all below it

so the dirty water
don't get clogged up.

What the devil are
you doing here?

It's the plumber sir.

There's no need of a
plumber in this room.

Get out.

This is masters
special room.

and you stay out now.

Aggie?

I'll see you later
it's my plumber.

Aggie?

I don't care if I
do make him jealous.

His ideas are...

I don't like your
master Aggie.

I think he's a
shady character.

Your right he is.

Oh God.

Lillie.

She won't come
here for that Job.

Why would she want
to work here for?

She was a real
lady's maid,

you could tell
by her clothes.

What was she after then?

I think you're getting
to a bit too curious.

Yes you are

and I'm getting cold.

Snuggling good.

Just a kiss.

I don't know how.

Poor boy.

Holmes

I've had an idea.

A way in which we bring
this fellow Milverton

within the grasp
of the law.

If we could tempt
him to blackmail

an innocent person
we should have him.

Now suppose...

suppose I was to
be the recipient

of some indiscreet
letters.

You Watson?

Who would prey
write these letters?

Someone of our
acquaintance.

And you and your
plumbing persona

could offer them for sale.

And at the moment
of transaction

Lastrade would be on
hand to arrest him.

But legally we
cannot move

until some victim
is prepared

to sacrifice
their reputation

by going to the police.

There must be some way

we can fight this devil.

There is.

There is.

In a mere three
weeks, my love,

this all will be yours.

I feel unworthy of it.

Nonsense.

There's no woman on
earth more worthy.

I feel unwell.

I know what it
is your feeling.

It's your Uncle Charles,

I do understand.

We have our future ahead.

We have each other for
the rest of our lives.

Where can I find
Monsieur Vetron?

Sherlock Holmes.

Good evening monsieur.

You see I've
tried to bring

a little bit of
Paris to London.

Camille [unintelligible]
is simple.

Camille?

C-A-M, C.A.M.

Watson you know sometimes

you absolutely amaze me.

He allows it to be known

that he is prepared
to pay very high sums

for letters, which
come from wise people

of wealth and position.

Do you receive, do you
receive these letters from

valets and maids?

Not only them

sometimes, how
do you say,

gentile ruffian

who have the confidence
and affection

of trusting women?

No one knows where
Camille's grip may fall.

You are his agent,
his conductor?

Me?

No, no, no, we go back
a number of years.

Rarely people are
stupid enough

to trust their servants.

Did you help conduct a
housemaid to him recently?

And what his your
interest monsieur?

I have a friend

who may have
something to sell.

Oh yes?

Well come this way.

Tell me about him.

Well he needs to
know the procedure.

The matter is delicate.

Of course.

It always is.

He's a personal physician

to the Duke and
Duchess of Landish.

Now this housemaid

who came by recently?

She's here tonight

celebrating her birthday.

In a year from now

she'll be on the streets.

At whose expense?

Lady Eva Blackwell.

Engaged to the
Earl of Dovercourt.

Said to be married
within weeks.

She must submit
herself to our care.

Somehow without delay.

How dare you come
into this house.

How dare you.

My dear young lady

a show of temper

will avail
you nothing.

I can't pay you.

I haven't the
money to pay you.

Give me back my letters.

Please

Ieave me alone.

You must be resourceful

in finding the money.

You have
influential friends.

Surely they'll
come to your aid.

No they won't.

Who can I tell?

That's not my concern.

The Earl of
Dovercourt my lady.

Don't fuss.

Oh there's a good fellow.

Now Henry.

This is Mr. Milverton.

I'm honored to
meet you my Lord.

And what is your
business here?

Business?

Shall we share
with his lordship

our little
secret Lady Eva?

No.

As you wish.

My card sir.

Thank you.

Good day at you both.

Stokes?

Hmmm?

What time is it?

Twenty past four.

How much longer Escott?

Well if you'll
forgive me

for saying so
Mr. Hebworth,

you're plumbing's in
the shocking stage.

It's the worst
I've ever seen.

Two more days

then you're out.

Come and see me tonight.

Woops.

Oh Aggie.

I have it under authority

that she rides this way

every Sunday afternoon.

Would you recognize her?

Well I've seen her
likeness in a magazine

if she's with
Dovercourt, I might.

Eva?

Boy get the horse.

I'm a Doctor.

Her godmother lives
just over there.

We could carry her

if it's safe to
lift her doctor.

Yes.

There's no injury

Darling?

I'm so sorry to be
of so much trouble.

You lay where
you are my dear.

You're in safe hands now.

Lady Swinstead.

All England shares
in your grief.

My colleague,
Doctor Watson,

is attending Lady Eva.

Poor child is
very disturbed

by the death
of my husband.

There's nothing
serious Lady Swinstead

but I would advise
you to make her rest

and get her own
doctor to see her.

Of course.

Thank you Doctor Watson.

May Lady Eva
need my services

please.

Eva?

It was Milverton
who caused her fall.

She saw his carriage.

He rings the nerves
of his victims

to add to his already
swollen moneybags.

He is the worst
man in London.

Seething,
slithering and sly.

Yes is there nothing
better we can do

than spend our
time here Holmes?

You have any suggestions?

Confront him.

Challenge him.

The brain before
the cudgel rule.

Meanwhile,

just like him,

he'll squeeze his victims

till he's drained them dry

and we're doing
nothing to stop him.

Holmes?

You must eat child.

What's troubling you?

Are you expecting
someone?

No.

I'm just thinking
about my wedding.

Now tell me the truth.

Gotchya?

What time do they

go to bed in
this house Aggie?

What do you want
to know for?

So I know when it's
safe to visit you.

You could always come
in over the wall.

Throw pebbles
at my window.

Which is your window?

I'll only tell you

if you marry me love.

Oh Aggie I can't.

Then I wont tell.

You have such a
way with words.

All right.

I'm at the very, very
top on the corner

and Master, he's
a floor below

but he's next
to the garden

and Monsieur Hebworth

he's on the ground floor

just across
from the study.

Lewis is sleeping don't
you come wake him.

There's a joke in
the servant's hall.

Why don't he
sleep upstairs?

Because the master
wants him on guard.

[unintelligible]

He's afraid of burglars.

Are you a burglar?

You touched my heart.

I will make you
a gift of mine.

Off you go.

Off you go.

Maximilian,
who let you out.

Stop.

Come here.

Robert, Stop it.

Stop it.

I'll get you Escott.

He's just around
the corner.

What's this
bloody racket?

Well there...

Watson you'll be
interested to hear

that I'm engaged
to be married.

Oh yeah?

To the Milverton's
housemaid.

Good heavens.

I needed information.

Surely you've
gone too far.

It was a most
necessary step.

I've walked with
her,

talked with her.

heaven knows talks.

But the girl?

Can't help it Watson.

One must play one's
cards as best one can

when such a stake
is on the table.

However, I rejoice
to tell you

that I have a hated rival

that will cut me out

the moment my
back is turned.

What a splendid day it is.

Huh?

You like this weather?

She's here.

My father died
when I was 12.

My mother stays
in the country.

Lord and Lady Swinstead

have made London
home to me

but indeed they arranged
my season last year.

Give me your gloves.

Oh Mrs. Hudson,

what do you think
you're doing?

You haven't been out
this morning Mr. Holmes

and you don't have
to be a detective

to see that
this young lady

is recently up
from a sick bed.

Isn't that so my dear?

We must put some roses
back in those cheeks.

Thank you.

The broth is an
excellent idea.

Mrs. Hudson
will you vanish?

I said vanish.

He was my first love.

The son of some neighbors
of ours in Suffick

but we were ill matched.

He had few prospects.

When I came
down to London

Iast year for the season

I broke off with him.

I didn't realize
how much I hurt him.

He returned my letters

and I put them
away in a trunk,

which I keep with me.

Now the substance
of these letters?

They're just a
little foolish.

But sufficient to cause
your fiance misgiving?

Harry's so proud of me.

It frightens me sometimes

that I cannot
live up to

his expectation of me.

Was it your maid who
found these letters?

Lillie yes.

I trusted her.

I cannot believe

she could have
betrayed me like this.

How would this Lillie

know about Milverton?

I think the idea

may have come to her

through a misfortune

that befell a
friend of mine,

Charlotte,

who was to have married

a Colonel Dorking.

And Mr. Milverton

sent her some letters.

They were very
distressing.

Lillie and I were there

when she received them.

To think the same
fate has befallen me.

It will be all
right Lady Eva.

What could you do?

My marriage is
on the 18th.

He's demanding that

the money
be paid to him

four days prior to the
wedding on the 14th,

on the day of the dance.

Dance?

Lord Dovercourt has
arranged a wedding feast

and invited
half of London.

I'm dreading it.

If you will place
yourself in my hands

I'll inform Mr. Milverton

that you've commissioned
me to meet him

to make the best
terms that I can huh?

I have limited
resources Mr. Holmes.

But enough for me
to bargain with

I cannot approach
him empty handed.

Good.

Good.

Thank you.

My best wishes to
your Godmother.

Lady Eva?

You must trust Mr. Holmes

and his methods.

Absolutely.

Mrs. Hudson will
see you out.

That young lady, Holmes,

must be treated
with infinite care

unlike your other
recent escapade.

Oh Watson,

it took some
nerve for her

to come here alone.

It is my belief
that Lady Eva

and the
Milverton housemaid

have something in common.

And what is that?

Juice.

Watson juice

in the face
of adversity.

Now Mr. Milverton.

Well, well, well.

Eva?

Eva?

Eva?

Eva?

Lottie.

I am so glad to see you.

Paris wasn't the answer.

You've been hard to find.

What were you doing?

I fell asleep.

Johnson told me about
your Uncle Charles.

I'm so sorry.

I stayed here to
comfort Diana but

this house is so sad.

We'll call again at 6:30.

C-A-M.

You ready?

Yes.

Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

This gentlemen
is it discreet?

Dr. Watson is my
friend and partner.

It is purely in the
interest of your client

that I protest it.

The matter is so
very delicate.

Dr. Watson has already
thought of that.

May I?

Oh thank you.

Then we may proceed
to business.

You said in your note

that you are acting
for the Lady Eva,

are you empowered

to accept my terms?

What are your terms?

Seven thousand pounds?

And the alternative?

My dear sir,

it is painful for
me to discuss it

but I can say

that all of this is done

with most careful
consideration

and if the money
is not paid

on the 14th then
there certainly

will be no marriage
on the 1 8th.

We are, of
course, familiar

with the contents
of these letters.

We shall advise
our client

to tell her future
husband the whole story

and trust to
his generosity.

Well then you evidently
do not know the Earl.

What harm is there
in these letters?

They are sprightly

very sprightly.

The lady was a
charming correspondent.

But I assure you the
Earl of Dovercourt

will fail to
appreciate them.

However, if you
think otherwise,

it's purely a
matter of business.

If you think it in the

best interests
of your client

then it would
indeed be foolish

to pay so large
a sum of money.

You go too fast.

We would certainly
make every effort

to avoid scandal in
so delicate a matter.

I felt sure that you
see it in that light.

Damn you.

Lady Eva is not
a wealthy woman.

Two thousand pounds

would be total drain
on her resources.

The sum you named

utterly beyond her power.

Return the letters at
the price we indicate,

I assure you,

it is the highest
you can get.

What you say maybe true
of the lady's resources

but the surely the
occasion of her marriage

is it not a proper
time for her friends

and relations to make

some little effort
on her behalf?

They may hesitate
as to an acceptable wedding present

but this little
bundle of letters

would bring more joy

than all the candelabras

and butter
dishes in London

wouldn't it?

It is not possible.

Oh dear me then.

How very unfortunate.

I cannot help
feeling that ladies

are ill advised

in not making an effort.

Look at this.

This belongs to,

well perhaps it's
hardly fair to tell you

to whom it belongs
until tomorrow morning

when it will
be in the hands

of the lady's husband.

And all because
she will not find

a beggarly sum

which she could
easily do

simply by turning
some of her

diamonds into paste.

It is such a pity!

You may have noticed
a small paragraph

recently in the
Morning Post.

The sudden end
of the engagement

between the
Honorable Miss Miles

and Colonel Dorking?

Yes and it's tragic
consequences.

You can almost
call it murder.

How do you answer for
that Mr. Milverton?

How a man
conducts himself

under such circumstances

is a matter for
himself alone.

That is a monstrous
accession.

It was you

and you alone who
caused his death.

And the sum
involved niggardly.

Indeed a mere twelve
hundred pounds

would have settled
the whole questions.

Pitiful isn't it?

And yet I find
you Mr. Holmes,

a man of sense,

boggling over terms

when the whole future

and honor of your
client is at stake.

You surprise me.

You do really.

The money cannot be found.

Surely it would
be better for you

to take the substantial
sum we offer

than to ruin this
young woman's career,

which can profit
you in no way.

But you're mistaken.

An exposure would
profit me indirectly

to a considerable degree.

I have eight or ten

similar cases
materializing.

If it is circulated
that I have made

a severe example
of Lady Eva.

I'll shall find the rest

much more open to reason.

Do you see my point?

Let us see the contents
of those letters.

Mr. Holmes.

Mr. Holmes I've
been expecting you

to do something original.

This has been tried
so often before.

Young Edward
Kroft for one.

Kroft?

The footman Veitch

who took the bullet that
was rightfully yours.

You've done
some work on me.

So you must know that
nothing ever came

of an attack on my person.

I'm armed to the teeth

at all times

and I'm perfectly prepared
to use my weapons

and knowing that the
law will support me.

You may well
have your chance

to test your assumption.

Mrs. Hudson I am
not to be disturbed.

Go.

Mr. Holmes surely
you don't believe

I'd be so foolish to
carry my livelihood

here in my pocket?

Just making sure
Mr. Milverton.

Well now gentlemen,

I have one or two little
interviews this evening

and it's a long
drive to Hampstead.

Now someone has dealt
Milverton a blow.

An outraged husband

just as there
are thousands

in this grey city

who crave Milverton's
destruction

and may yet beat us to it.

Holmes?

I'm as fond of
art as any man

but don't you think after
yesterday's encounter...

Art is bond to the brain

especially in
moments of decision.

So we've learned
something about Milverton.

That he's ruthless

is hardly a revelation.

And that of his vanity

and to a certain

his vulnerability.

I can see that the
damage to his carriage

might have unsettled him.

We must exploit
such things.

Wanton vandalism.

Any chink in the armor.

Mr. Holmes

this is my friend

the Honorable
Charlotte Miles.

Mr. Sherlock Holmes

and his partner
Mr. Watson.

Lady Eva may speak
privately to you?

Mrs. Miles

please accept
our sympathy.

Mr. Holmes and I

are fully aware of
your situation.

That is most kind of
you Doctor Watson

but one has to live
with one's mistakes.

He was unyielding.

Now the next move

requires your
delicate cooperation.

I'll do anything
you say Mr. Holmes.

The dance in your honor?

On the 14th.

Good afternoon
Mr. Stokes?

I told you I was not
to be disturbed girl

what is it?

It's Mr. Sherlock
Holmes to see you sir.

"Oh Aggie, you've
touched my heart."

Mr. Holmes?

I'm here to inform you

that my client
accepts your terms.

She's acted
with perspicacity.

She begs but
a small favor.

What is it?

That the exchange be
delayed until the 1 5th.

The Earl has
arranged a dance

for the previous night

and she is somewhat
preoccupied with that.

The dance yes.

So 1 0 o'clock the
following morning

we can do business?

Seven thousand pounds?

As agreed.

Here or at Baker's Street?

Here, Baker Street.

Neutral ground perhaps.

The Diogenes club

you are a member?

May I?

Tell me this
sudden turnabout

was it on your advice?

I could not abandon

my client to her fate

Mr. Milverton.

You are the victor.

What a divine fragrance.

My late husband
and I were

something of a
second family to her

so you see my concern?

This man who is
blackmailing her?

Charles Augustus
Milverton

he's an arts dealer.

Yes.

I've heard of him.

He's well placed
to hear the gossip

and do his worst.

What view does Mr.
Holmes take of it?

Well I'm sure he has
something in mind

but he seldom
confides in me

till the last minute.

Awe Holmes.

Lady Swinstead is fully
primed for the situation.

Time is running out

Mr. Holmes.

If it is a question
of paying the money...

That will not
be necessary.

You can give
assurance then?

That would be unwise
in me Lady Swinstead

but I assure you

I will give it my best.

I shall have to be
satisfied with that then.

Mr. Holmes?

This man must be

silenced.

Does she know
about Milverton?

A name?

Yes I told her.

Was that wrong of me?

Oh Watson these bills,

they must be paid.

Oh, incidentally I
managed to secure

an invitation for us both
to the Dovercourt dance.

The house is some
miles from London

but in reach for
my purposes.

What purposes?

I intend to burgle

the Milverton
house that night.

For heaven sakes Holmes

think what you're doing.

Well let us look at
it fairly and clearly.

You will admit

that the cause is
morally justifiable.

Yes.

Technically criminal.

No more than raiding
his pockets a cause,

which you were perfectly
willing to help me.

That was on the
spurt of the moment

not on the coal
light of reason.

Reason?

Is there reasoning
to be done Watson?

Nothing to test my brain?

That's the curse of it.

Think.

If you're caught,

an honored career

ending in failure
and public disgrace.

What failure?

What disgrace?

Against defeat.

You know me well enough

that I would never adopt

so objectionable a course

if another
were possible.

I must have those letters.

And have the house in
the palm of my hand.

The cudgel
before the brain.

What of the
odious Milverton?

Do you think he's just
going to open his gates

and invite you
to stroll in?

Milverton will
be at the dance

as the guest
of Lady Eva's.

That's monstrous Holmes.

My self-respect and
reputation are at stake

it's the only way.

Well I don't like it,

any of it.

You have nothing to fear.

Eva?

Mrs. Hudson why did
you tidy for me?

Where the hell
are my shoes?

Shoes?

Yes.

Masks?

Black silk handkerchief.

I see you have
a natural turn

for this sort of thing.

I wonder where
I learned it.

Take the usual
precautions tonight.

Hebworth.

I will.

Enjoy your evening.

The people are at
risks here Holmes.

Yes indeed.

We leave in
eight minutes.

Excuse me sir,

Her ladyship would like
to see you upstairs.

Harry.

That man

is he an invited guest?

Milverton.

Yes it's something
Eva schemed.

The painting.

The old girl is
probably trying to

whittle down the price
by inviting him here.

Don't worry
yourself Diana.

It's all right.

How strange

to see you here
Mr. Holmes.

Mixing business
with pleasure?

There's no doubt you are.

purely pleasure this
evening Mr. Holmes

I assure you

You will be keeping
our appointment.

Sir.

I am expecting a visitor
in an half an hour.

Sir.

Servants are playing
while the master's away.

Holmes?

Milvertons carriage

no time to lose the door.

You made me curtail

my evening's
entertainment.

I hope you prove worth it.

You couldn't have come at
a more sociable time?

Well if you couldn't,
you couldn't

if the Countess
is a hard mistress

you have a chance now
to get even with her.

Bless the girl, what
are you shivering about?

That's right!

Pull yourself together.

Now then, let's get
down to business.

You save you have five
letters, which compromise

the Countess D' Albert?

You want to sell them.

I want to buy them.

So far, so good.

So it remains to
fix the price.

Of course I shall want
to examine the letters.

If they prove to be
good specimens then...

Great heavens, it is you?

A woman who's life
you have ruined.

You were so obstinate.

Paris twelve years ago.

Why did you drive me
to such extremities?

An episode long closed.

I wouldn't hurt a
fly of my own accord.

You waited for the moment

when the stakes was
most worth winning.

What was I to do?

I put the price well
within your means.

Instead you sent the
letters to my husband.

You would not pay.

A man whose boots I was
never worthy to lace-

you broke his
gallant heart,

vial creature.

That day I came
here I prayed,

I begged you for mercy,

and you laughed
in my face

as you are trying
to laugh now,

your coward
heart cannot keep

you lips from twitching.

Don't imagine that
you can bully me

I'm only to raise my voice

You will ruin
no more lives.

I can call my servants
and have you arrested.

You will wring
no more hearts

as you have wrung mine
Charles Milverton.

I will make allowance
for your natural anger.

Leave the room at once

and I'll say no
more about it.

I will free the world
of a poisonous thing.

You've done me.

The fire.

Lady Swinstead

you're free.

Run!

Run!

Now gentlemen

the sale of the property

of Charles A. Milverton

described, deceased.

Lot one,

a box of
miscellaneous objects,

trinkets,

correspondence,

do hear five pounds?

Thank you sir.

The stuart from the
Vetron household

making sure.

Lot two,

bust of Athena,

ancient Goddess of
wisdom, industry and war.

Now what do I have for
this fine marble statue?

Ten pounds?

Twenty?

Twenty pounds.

Thirty?

I have thirty pounds.

Fifty.

I have fifty pounds sir.

Sixty?

Eighty?

Eighty pounds.

Ninety?

Ninety pounds
against you sir.

At ninety.

One hundred pounds.

More sir?

Sold to the
gentleman over there

for one hundred pounds.

Mr. Holmes.

Bought it in an
auction Mrs. Hudson.

It cost a hundred pounds.

Why has he smashed it?

I thought there might
be something in it.

I'm more than happy to
say that I was wrong.

Thank you Mrs. Hudson

why is a point of
interest Holmes

did the Frenchman
want it?

Sentimental reasons.

Just making sure.

No Watson.

There are certain aspects
in which I am not proud.

Please

bury this case

deep in your pocket.
