Mr. Holmes
What an honor.
Mr. Holmes, you would never believe.
Found a coat
just lying in the gutter with a blue diamond sewn up under the sleeve.
You can't imagine my amazement.
What a lucky me.
Till I found "Henry Baker"
written all clear and neat.
Could be a million in London.
If someone can find him, it's you.
Yeah?
Too simple.
What? Holmes.
Watson, please observe.
This is elementary.
Check out the fray on the collar.
Check out the fade underneath.
Here's a man who doesn't have a dollar, let alone something to sew in the sleeve.
He stole it?! Put an ad in the paper.
He'll want his coat back, I wager.
And if he stole it, he'll check it.
And then you'll know if he's your culprit, yeah?
That's it?
Simple, but it works.
You really think he stole it?
Watson!
Are we replacing missing items?
Whatever happened to our dignity?
Whatever happened to the common criminal?
What's so uncommon?
What's so wrong with the capacity to think outside the box?
Outside the letter?
We need a new case, but just better.
Sherlock!
Mr. Holmes,
please.
See, we've been living in the country.
But Stanley--our helper, we think--he's up to something
There's really no way we can prove it.
But the family heirloom!
We had had been looted.
And Martha, that package he sent her!
Stanley's profession...?
Oh, it's the butler.
Oh, yes.
Okay, so there's this man in my life.
He's sweet, really
And I would be his wife if he asked me, but honestly, he lacks in commitment.
I know it's not a sin, but I wish I could win his affection enough.
He's perfection. It's tough.
And I've also been offered this governor's spot,
and I think it could be beneficial.
Do I sound superficial?
And children.
That's another thing that's so special.
But I really would marry him if he asked me.
Do you think he loves me?
I'm sure he does.
Oh, I knew it!
We really shouldn't be so particular with our cases.
Watson!
Excuse me,
Sirs, my husband is missing.
Disappeared over two weeks ago,
and normally he's gone on business.
But this is different. He made no mention of his intentions.
That's not like him.
He always let me know I just don't know where he would go.
How to say this.
Madam.
Many husbands go missing.
Only to be found in someone else's home.
He wouldn't.
They never do until they do.
And then it's you who's left alone.
Sherlock!
I'm sorry. We can't help you.
We hope you can find a good place.
Keep your chin up, you know, to save face.
Well, I guess this is goodbye for you to say in
Auf wiedersehen
What did you say?
Auf wiedersehen?
Goodbye?
We'll take the case.
What? Sherlock...
Watson
can't you see this woman's in distress?
Oh, lost her husband.
So she came to us.
Oh. Now, what kind of people would we be if we were to turn her out?
I suppose
Now your husband's been missing
for two weeks?
Yes.
Excellent!
We'll find him.
You really will.
We will.
Isn't that right, Doctor?
Of course.
Not to worry, madam.
Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
Are on the case.
Tea?
