FAMOUS DETECTIVE HOLMES
Listen! The Tribute to Moriarty
It's time to test the machine.
Todd, Smiley, are you ready?
Yes, sir!
Go!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
That's good! Keep it up!
Why do we have to do this?!
Why?
So we can test the machine, right?
All right! Stop!
Now, bring it back down.
The test was successful!
Ah, lovely.
The tolling of Big Ben is always music to my ears...
especially when it's chiming in a huge treasure.
That's very odd.
It's the correct time, though.
Is there a problem?
Well, it may just be me, but did you hear Big Ben chime?
No...
Oh!
It's high time for the bell to have chimed.
Odd indeed.
Yes, isn't it? My watch is correct, why?
What's going on?
Big Ben's gone quiet.
That's strange.
Here comes Inspector Lestrade.
I wonder if there's any trouble.
So it appears.
Big Ben's bell has...
disappeared!
It was stolen sometime last night!
Stolen?! By whom?! And how?!
That's why I called you in, to answer those very questions, Inspector!
I know that!
Start searching for clues!
Overlook nothing, not even a single hair!
What's happened?
It would seem that Big Ben's bell has been stolen.
Are you serious?!
That's not possible, is it?!
Whoever did this must be unconscionable.
What are those milk bottles doing there?
Sir.they probably fell off of a milk delivery truck.
Have you found any other clues?
Not a one.
Inspector General!
Inspector Lestrade, have you found any clues?
Sir.I'm afraid to say there are none so far...
What?!
Are you aware of what this means?
What...?
Big Ben is not only London's...
but it is the very symbol of the British Empire!
If this incident gets out to the public...
not only will you get fired, but so will l!
Fired?!
So we must quietly apprehend the thief and return the bell immediately!
Holmes!
Inspector General, your staff explained the situation to me.
We're in deep trouble.
I figured that l would need your help.
This is far beyond my area of expertise.
What are those milk bottles doing there?
Well.they probably fell off of a milk delivery truck.
What a waste.
In any event, let's have a look at the scene of the crime.
It appears to be the work of someone who owns an airplane.
You mean someone like Professor Moriarty?
Lestrade and his men are so confused, they're completely helpless.
Naturally.
What about Holmes?
He's also completely puzzled, and could give up anytime.
Right, right...
Excellent! Excellent!
An overwhelming victory!
It's mine!
No mine! I'm starving!
It's mine!
It's mine!!
Professor...!
How cruel!
Pull yourselves together!
It's only for a little while longer.
But...
The vast reward for the return of Big Ben's bell will go to us!
Once that happens, we can feast ourselves sick!
Really, Professor?!
Now, shall we go?
So, you're saying an airplane wasn't involved?
Big Ben's bell weighs thirteen and a half tons.
Far too heavy...
This is machine oil...
You figured something out?
I've got a pretty good idea.
J-Let us through! P-Impossible!We have our orders!
Let us talk to whoever's in charge!
You can talk at the press conference later!
Things are getting interesting.
Even Holmes is helpless this time.
This is really not good.
If the press releases this news to the public...
our country will be the laughingstock of the entire world.
I have an idea.
Watson, please bring me that item I asked for.
Yes Holmes.
Mr.Holmes...
What's going on, gentlemen?
Is it true that Big Ben's bell has been stolen?
Who's spreading such unfounded rumors?
Then how do you explain the bell not ringing this morning?
That's because someone sabotaged the bell.
Sabotaged?
That's right.
The bell is under repair now, but should be back in service soon.
Then who's the saboteur?
We only know the saboteur is someone possessing great energy and wisdom.
Would that be Professor Moriarty?
You must be joking.
He doesn't have the brains to commit this type of crime.
Don't overestimate that man.
This is the work of a genius, not some petty thief.
Holmes, You bastard...!
-Professor, please calm down! -Let me go!Let me go!
I've had my fill of this humiliating...!
Think about that vast reward!
Gentlemen, repairs of the bell have just been completed.
It is now five minutes to ten o'clock.
As proof, you will soon hear the tolling of Big Ben.
President of the Ames corporation, the bell of Big Ben... as you ordered.
Let me see.
Oh!
Indeed...
Now, if you would please, give us the fee you promised.
Impossible!
I'll be taking this back, then.
Now see here! You promised me those!
Don't speak of promises when you break them, Professor Moriarty!
You promised me Big Ben's bell, not this fake!
This is not a fake, it's the real bell from Big Ben!
Then what's that we're hearing right now?!
There must be some mistake!
Wait, President Ames!
It looks like I'll just have to prove that this is the genuine article!
All right.
If you can really prove it, then the reward I promised will be yours.
Curses!I'll prove it, or my name isn't Moriarty the genius!
I wonder if the Professor will take the bait.
His pride won't keep him quiet. He most certainly will.
First and second squads are in position, sir.
Good.
Squad 6 and the reserves are in position, sir!
Very good.
Not even a mouse could escape my notice, now.
Moriarty, you're challenging me to expose the trick of Big Ben's bell?
I'll take that dare!
Holmes, do you think it's wise to leave Big Ben in Lestrade's hands?
It's more important for us to discover the whereabouts of Big Ben's bell.
That's the key to solving this case.
But, this milk bottle is our only clue.
I don't see anything like that in the book.
Are you sure?
I'm absolutely certain.
Any milk that comes through here would be in our records.
So, you're saying that no store has ever purchased through...
you for just one day?
That's correct.
Then where did this milk bottle come from?
Are there any other warehouses for milk?
No, this is the only one.
Permit me...
This is unblended.
What do you mean?
In order to maintain our milk's taste and consistency...
we always blend ours.
This must be a farm-direct purchase.
Which means, this milk came directly from a farm.
Can you tell us which one?
Let's see...
from the flavor and aroma, I'd say this comes from a farm in the northwest.
Holmes, it's about time you explained...
how the milk bottle relates to the theft of the bell.
A milk delivery truck is the only vehicle...
that could move unnoticed during the hours when streets are empty.
That's what they used to transport the bell.
But I'm not yet certain how they did it.
I'll get them no matter where they come from!
There you are, Moriarty!
You fiend!
Follow that balloon!
Go!
Don't lose them!
That way! Go!
Don't lose them!
Go! Go! Go!
Professor Moriarty! Give it up, or I'll shoot you down!
I am a genius, not some petty thief!
Catch me if you can!
I have had enough of you!
Arrest that man!
Moriarty, you're under arrest!
I finally got you!
It came off!
It's a dummy!
What!?
But, I definitely heard his voice...
Catch me if you can!
Curses!
You lousy bastard!
I knew it!
Holmes must have come up with this pathetic attempt at deception.
I'd love to see his face when he hears this.
That guy not only bought cases of milk, but a truck, too.
A truck as well.
Do you know who the man was?
From the household of the president of the Ames Corporation...
The Ames Corporation!?
Well.thank you!
Everything seems normal here.
Humph, let's double check for safety's sake.
Is everything OK?!.
What a troublemaker.
Then why did he play such a cheap trick on us?
Attacking and taking, I'm Moriarty
Cracking safe and busting lock
I'll strip you down to the very bone
The lord of crime, oh yes, that's me
Super cool and smart, I'm Moriarty
I'll continue on my criminal way...
They did it to us.
Inspector Lestrade has failed.
Let's hurry, for his sake.
Let me go!
Not yet!
Let me go!
Not yet!
I cannot bear to live with this humiliation!
There's still hope!
Don't give up, Inspector!
Ames is a huge corporation, conducting extensive trade with India.
Why would the president of such a big company want Big Ben's bell?
Come on.
This is no different than being thieves ourselves.
Look at that.
That's Moriarty's Pteranodon.
This is it!
He must have thought this through carefully.
That's a reinforced manual steering lift.
Using this machine, Moriarty took the bell...
Just like that!
I see.
Please inform Inspector Lestrade. I'll be watching here.
All right.
What are they planning to do with the bell?
So, this is the secret of the fake bell.
Do you accept now that the one I brought is the real one?
Of course!
I never doubted you in the first place...
but I needed absolute confirmation for the man who actually paid this reward.
Sir, the bearer for Prince Hassan has arrived.
Very well.
Oh, wonderful!
This will fit perfectly in Prince Hassan's new palace!
I'm honored you like it.
So about that reward you promised...
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes, that's right. It is from the Prince Hassan.
Please accept this, Professor.
Sir...
Inspector Lestrade and his police force have arrived.
Ah yes, very good...
What's that?!
I know nothing about this! I had nothing to do with it!
Stop right there!
Professor Moriarty!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Catch me if you can!
Keep away!
Drat!
Stop!Stop!
I told you to stop!
No, now wait!
You want to catch me?! Then fly!
At last, things feel right again.
Indeed.
The sound of Big Ben tolling is the pride of the British Empire.
Imagine someone who is bold enough to steal a jewelry shop's diamond...
in broad daylight.
In fact, Professor Moriarty has done exactly that... or so he thought.
There was an unexpected hitch to his seemingly perfect crime.
