aah!

Victor, what's wrong?

You spooked me, Jill.

Sorry. I thought you could use a break.

That's a fact,

but I can't let Mike beat me to the finish.

You already beat him in the only race that matters to me.

Yeah, I won the girl and lost my best friend.

Ow!

Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

My ring must have scraped your neck.

Think it's a bad omen?

No way, babe. I Don't believe in omens.

Sherlock Holmes.

Holmes.

Watson!

Bring Sherlock Holmes back to life.

Back to life.

It's elementary, my dear Watson.

Watson!

Sherlock Holmes is on the case.

Moriarty? Moriarty.

Heh heh heh heh!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Sherlock Holmes is on the case.

elementary, my dear Watson.

give it up, Louie.

No way.

No way you yard dogs are scrambling my brains.

We Don't scramble brains.

We modify criminal behavior through science.

I believe that Louie fails to appreciate the subtle difference.

Yeah, well, he and I can argue about it on the ride back.

I'm bringin' him in.

Hmm...

ah! Shook her!

Lestrade: Wrong again, Louie.

Aah!

Now give it up!

Forget about it. Enh!

Hey! Whoa!

Whoa! Unh!

wh-whoa! Oh!

Ooh!

I say.

Unh!

A shipment of frozen human hearts,

as we suspected.

Ok, Louie, spill.

Who's peddling the black-market tickers?

I Don't know. I'm just the middleman.

Organ-legging--

the illicit trafficking of stolen human body parts.

In my day, not even Jack the ripper stooped so low.

And the lower you stoop,

the bigger you fall, Louie.

Organ-legging is a serious offense.

Start talking.

All I know is that--

that another shipment's due today, but I--

but I forget where the drop is.

Oh. Well, maybe a ride back to the yard

will jog something loose. Come on.

lestrade, there's been a theft

of an experimental blood regenerator

in the tech center.

The device is used in transplant surgery.

It might tie into our organ-legging problem.

Get on it.

What am I supposed to do with Louie, the snitch?

I just nabbed him.

All right.

Then send Holmes.

Maybe he can turn something up.

Your confidence is touching, chief inspector.

Now, mr. Hathlee,

you say that your pilfered safe opens by touch.

My touch. Watch.

Fascinating. The safe is keyed to your thumbprint?

Not just my thumbprint,

but my bioelectric signature and genetic pattern.

It can't be faked.

Beats me how Mike did it.

Mike?

Michael Wooten, my ex-partner,

ex-friend.

We were working together on the blood regenerator

until we split up.

Your friendship could not endure

the fact that you both loved the same woman.

Hey, how'd you know about Jill?

The picture on your desk

shows you with your arm around a woman...

Jill.

The two of you are smiling at each other,

while the other man is clearly less than pleased.

The picture was taken in this workroom,

and the man is holding a precision tool,

which leads me to believe

that he is your erstwhile partner Michael.

Whoa. Good eye, man. You got it scoped.

Mike went nuclear when Jill and I got engaged.

What interests me is the blood on the desk

and the bandage on your neck.

How were you injured?

Oh, that's not Mike's doing.

It's just a scrape I got from Jill's ring

a couple of nights ago. Dumb accident.

Hmm. I am always fascinated by what is accidental

and what has deeper motivation.

Come, Watson.

Let us pay a visit to mr. Wooten

and see what he knows about our missing blood regenerator.

Lestrade: Talk to me, Louie. What do you know?

slow down, will you? I get airsick easy.

Is that a fact?

Well, then maybe we better get to the yard as quickly as possible.

Louie: Aah!

Lestrade: Oops! Missed my turn.

Let's take a shortcut.

Louie: Aah!

Feel like talking now?

Holmes: These blood regenerators

that you and mr. Hathlee are working on,

what exactly is their function?

They automatically modify any blood type

or tissue sample

to match the DNA of the recipient.

It'll revolutionize transplant surgery.

And make the men who created it rich.

The men... Or the man.

It's no secret

that Vic and I are rivals, mr. Holmes,

but I couldn't have stolen his version of the blood regenerator

any more than he can steal mine.

Why do you say that, mr. Wooten?

Vic uses his thumb.

I use my eyes.

We both have biometric security systems.

That vault is keyed to my retinal patterns.

No other eyes in the world will open it.

Perhaps you would care to demonstrate.

No, I wouldn't.

The purpose of a vault is to keep things secret,

not to make them public.

Now, if you have no further questions.

No, not at this time.

Thank you, mr. Wooten.

it's all right. They're gone.

I better go, too. Victor will get worried.

Watson: Why are we skulking about in the trees if we're finished here, Holmes?

Holmes: We are waiting for mr. Hathlee's fiancée to make her exit.

Miss Jill foxworth?

What makes you think the young lady's here?

The red hat on a workbench.

I Don't believe that it belongs

to mr. Wooten, do you?

Now, right on time.

Computer, enhance audio.

Oh, Michael, do you think they suspect?

No, I believe we'll get away with it.

Watson: Well, I'll be reformatted.

Jill and Michael are partners in crime.

Holmes: They appear to be partners in something.

Ooh! What the devil is she doing?

I hesitate to theorize in advance of all the facts.

Nonetheless, miss foxworth's behavior

warrants further attention.

Aah!

lestrade: Wow, the street's coming up pretty fast, Louie.

Now, where did you say the next shipment was?

Ok, ok. Ok, I'll talk.

I'm all ears, Louie.

Ears are just the tip of the iceberg, toots.

Watson: Ooh! What the devil is she doing?

Computer, enlarge and enhance image.

Watson: Fenwick!

What's moriarty's henchman got to do with this business?

Everything. He has the technical expertise to pull this off.

Ah, there's the exchange.

Pull what off, Holmes?

And what use could he have for Jill's lip print?

Not her lips, Watson,

but something that was on them.

Ah, good. She's gone.

Perhaps a visit inside the medical clinic

will explain the significance of what we have seen.

Holmes, Louie just told me

where the next shipment's coming from.

Yes. A clinic in the med sector.

Watson and I are here already

and about to investigate.

How did you--
