Sherlock Holmes: If we could just trace those missing fingers!
Inspector Gregson of Scotland Yard: If we could only drain the English Channel, we might find a penny.

Inspector Gregson of Scotland Yard: I put my pride in my pocket and went to see the man who'd so often helped Inspector Lastrade and myself in the past - Sherlock Holmes!

[first lines]
Inspector Gregson of Scotland Yard: [voiceover] I won't forget that morning, not if I live to be a hundred. I counted the men as they marched out of the yard; they'd hardly slept for weeks. We of the CID had slept even less, but the nightmare that kept us awake was all the same nightmare. That's why we weren't surprised when the commissioner asked us up to the conference room for a bit of a talk. He'd talked to us plenty, we knew that, but it didn't help any to know what was ahead of us.
