00:00:00The End

00:00:30The End

00:01:00Dartmoor Prison

00:01:20Isolated from the outside world

00:01:23By walls of granite

00:01:25They say you could get out of here by merely telling what you know

00:01:40You may or may not be another Scotland Yard bloke

00:01:44But I'll give you the same answer I gave the others

00:01:48I still have two years, eight months and six days left

00:01:54In which to make musical boxes

00:01:56That'll be sold at auction for the benefit of this delightful sanctuary

00:02:01And I intend to serve them

00:02:05Move along

00:02:12And now we come to the next object on our list

00:02:16Or I should say objects

00:02:17Because there are three of them

00:02:19Now, ladies and gentlemen

00:02:21These can be bought together or separately

00:02:23Now these beautiful little musical boxes

00:02:26Only arrived this morning

00:02:27And I didn't intend to put them on the auction block until later

00:02:30But I'm going to sell them now

00:02:31So, good friends, as our old pal Mark Anthony used to say

00:02:34Lend me your ears

00:02:36And what do you hear?

00:02:41Right

00:02:41The beautiful tinkle tinkle of a musical box

00:02:44What a lovely trinket

00:02:47What a beautiful gift

00:02:48Created and made by loving hands

00:02:51A thing of beauty and utility

00:02:53I was going to start with five pounds

00:02:56It's a bargain

00:02:58Five pounds

00:02:58Do I see any hands?

00:03:02If there's a connoisseur in the house

00:03:04We'll go three pounds for it

00:03:05Two pounds

00:03:07One pound

00:03:10Ten shillings

00:03:13Ten

00:03:15Thank you, sir

00:03:16Ladies and gentlemen

00:03:18Ten shillings is offered for a musical box

00:03:20You couldn't buy anywhere in London

00:03:21For less than five pounds

00:03:23It'd be stealing to let it go for ten shillings

00:03:25Like taking milk from a baby

00:03:27All right, we're selling for ten shillings

00:03:29Ten shillings

00:03:29Ten shillings is offered

00:03:30Ten shillings is offered

00:03:31Ten shillings is offered

00:03:31Anybody give me one pound?

00:03:33Anybody give me one pound?

00:03:35I won't, sir

00:03:35Give me a pound

00:03:36A pound

00:03:37One pound is offered

00:03:38One pound is offered

00:03:38Ladies and gentlemen

00:03:39One pound is against you, sir

00:03:40Will you go to two pounds?

00:03:42Will you go to two pounds, sir?

00:03:44Two pounds

00:03:45Two pounds is offered

00:03:46Two pounds is offered

00:03:47Twice

00:03:48Third in the last call

00:03:50Sold to the gentleman

00:03:52For two pounds

00:03:52Sorry, my dear

00:03:54Now, ladies and gentlemen

00:03:57Comes the opportunity

00:03:58To purchase

00:03:59An exact duplicate

00:04:00Of the beautiful little musical box

00:04:02Just bought by this gentleman

00:04:03For the ridiculous low price

00:04:05Of two pounds

00:04:06It's exactly the same

00:04:07Exactly the same

00:04:08Made with the same hands

00:04:09You hear that?

00:04:10Isn't that lovely?

00:04:11That tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle

00:04:13Sounds like bow belts to me

00:04:15You know

00:04:15Little angels pulling on the ropes

00:04:17We'll give you two pounds

00:04:18For it

00:04:18Who's starting with two pounds?

00:04:20Will anybody start with two pounds?

00:04:22Oh, come, come, ladies and gentlemen

00:04:23You know, from your enthusiasm

00:04:25We might all be in Scotland

00:04:27Instead of London

00:04:27Please buy it for me, Daddy

00:04:29Two pounds, certainly not

00:04:31We all might be in Scotland

00:04:32Besides, I don't like his manner

00:04:34One pound, ten shillings

00:04:36One pound

00:04:37One pound is asked

00:04:38One pound

00:04:39One pound is offered

00:04:40Going one pound

00:04:41Any advance?

00:04:42Going once

00:04:42Going twice

00:04:43The third and the last call

00:04:45Sold to the lady for one pound

00:04:48Smart bidding, my dear

00:04:50Thank you

00:04:51We come to the third and last

00:04:53Of these beautiful little musical boxes

00:04:55Exactly the same

00:04:56Tinkle, tinkle

00:04:57Isn't that lovely?

00:04:59Ladies and gentlemen

00:05:00I don't bring you here

00:05:01To gully and to swindle you

00:05:02This is the exact replica

00:05:03Of those two I just sold before

00:05:05We're closed

00:05:13But this is extremely important

00:05:15Come in, sir, come in

00:05:19I'm sorry to disturb you

00:05:21But I was unfortunately delayed

00:05:23From arriving in time

00:05:24To bid on certain articles

00:05:25Which I was rather anxious to obtain

00:05:27Oh, perhaps they weren't sold, sir

00:05:29We are carrying several things over

00:05:31What might the articles be, sir?

00:05:33Three identical musical boxes

00:05:36About so large

00:05:37Oh, I'm sorry, sir

00:05:39But they were sold

00:05:39Pity you weren't here to bid on them

00:05:41They didn't bring anything like the real value

00:05:44I'm most anxious to obtain them

00:05:46I wonder if your records would show

00:05:48Who the purchasers were

00:05:49Oh, we don't usually give out that information, sir

00:05:52For certain, shall we say, sentimental reasons

00:05:56I'm most anxious to get in touch

00:05:58With the purchasers

00:05:59I'd be willing to pay, shall we say

00:06:01Five pounds

00:06:04Well, for certain sentimental reasons, sir

00:06:06We'd be very happy to oblige

00:06:07Alfred, today's sales

00:06:09Three musical boxes

00:06:11Musical boxes, yes

00:06:12Ah, here we are

00:06:13The first purchased for two pounds

00:06:15From Mr. Julian Emery

00:06:1652, Portman Square

00:06:18Write this address down, Alfred

00:06:19Yes, sir

00:06:19Second didn't leave any name

00:06:21Oh, how unfortunate

00:06:23I think she's a dealer

00:06:24You see, they don't like us to know

00:06:25Where the things are going

00:06:26On account of the profits

00:06:27You say the second purchaser was a woman

00:06:31Can you give me a description of her?

00:06:34Oh, she was a young woman

00:06:35Fairly tall, slender

00:06:36Her light complexion and dark hair

00:06:40And she was wearing a...

00:06:42A grey suit, don't you remember?

00:06:43That's right

00:06:43She probably runs a gift shop

00:06:45She paid one pound

00:06:48You say she comes here fairly frequently?

00:06:52No, I didn't say so

00:06:53But she does, sir

00:06:55Like as not, she'll come in on Thursday

00:06:57We have sales on Mondays and Thursdays

00:07:00Ah, and the third box?

00:07:02The third?

00:07:03Oh, Mr. William Kilgore, 143B Hampton Way

00:07:06For ten shillings

00:07:08Hmm, quite a drop from two pounds

00:07:11Mr. Kilgore was a Scotchman

00:07:13Oh, well, thank you

00:07:15You've, uh, been most helpful

00:07:17Oh, thank you, sir

00:07:19And any time you're passing, dropping

00:07:21We always have lovely things for sale

00:07:23Our card, sir

00:07:24Ah, thank you

00:07:25I'll, uh, be back Thursday

00:07:26A message reached us too late

00:07:36Musical boxes are being sold

00:07:40Well, let's get out of here

00:07:44Ah

00:07:47Someday you'll go too far

00:07:52Reaching for a star, you fool

00:07:58Yet a fool may touch a star, Colonel Cavanaugh

00:08:01If he but reach high enough

00:08:03But not possess it as you would

00:08:05The musical boxes, they've been sold

00:08:10What a pity for you, my dear Colonel

00:08:12Is it my fault that the message reached us only an hour ago?

00:08:16Is it my fault that they were sold?

00:08:18She can't hold me responsible for that

00:08:21Hope for your sake, you're right

00:08:23Hope for your sake, you're right

00:08:51There will call upon you tonight at a quarter to eight

00:08:58A gentleman who desires to consult you

00:08:59Upon a matter of the very deepest moment

00:09:02Remember that letter, Holmes?

00:09:05It was written over two years ago

00:09:06An interesting case

00:09:08Devilously interesting

00:09:09Hmm, Irene Adler

00:09:12What a striking-looking woman

00:09:14From the brief glance I heard of her

00:09:16Seems only yesterday

00:09:17What charm

00:09:19Hmm

00:09:19What poise

00:09:20And what a mind

00:09:21Sharp enough and brilliant enough

00:09:24To outwit the

00:09:25The great Sherlock Holmes himself

00:09:27I take it the new issue of the Strand Magazine is out

00:09:30Containing another of your slightly lurid tales

00:09:33It is indeed

00:09:34And what do you call this one?

00:09:36I call it

00:09:37A Scandal in Bohemia

00:09:39Not a bad title, eh?

00:09:40Hmm

00:09:40If you must record my exploits

00:09:43I do wish you'd put less emphasis on the melodramatic

00:09:46And more on the intellectual issues involved

00:09:49More on the intellectual

00:09:50What do you mean by that?

00:09:52Well, I do hope you've given, uh

00:09:54The woman

00:09:55A soul

00:09:56She had one, you know

00:09:58By the woman

00:09:59I suppose you mean Irene Adler

00:10:01Yes

00:10:02I shall always remember her

00:10:05As the woman

00:10:07Why, Stinky

00:10:22That's it, old boy, how are you?

00:10:25How are you, old boy?

00:10:26I haven't seen you for years

00:10:27I want you to meet my old friend Sherlock Holmes

00:10:29Holmes, Mr. Stinky

00:10:30In other words, uh, Julian Emery

00:10:33How do you do, Mr. Emery?

00:10:34Watson has often spoken of you

00:10:36Oh, Hedy

00:10:36Yes, we were at school together

00:10:38Yes, more years ago than I care to remember

00:10:40But you didn't come in here just to remind me of that

00:10:42No, I just happened to be in the neighborhood

00:10:44And saw your lights burning

00:10:45So I took the liberty of looking you up

00:10:47Still writing your mystery stuff

00:10:49Yes, there's a new one out this week

00:10:51Good, I never miss them

00:10:52Oh, good, thanks

00:10:53I say that bandage makes you look pretty interesting

00:10:56Still poking your nose into other people's business as usual

00:10:59Who hit you?

00:11:00I haven't a foggy's notion

00:11:01Somebody knocked me on the head in my own living room

00:11:04And then proceeded to commit the most idiotic burglary you ever heard of

00:11:07The fellow must have been barmy as a coot

00:11:09Barmy? Why?

00:11:11Come sit down, old boy

00:11:12Thanks

00:11:13Would you, you like a cup of tea?

00:11:14Oh?

00:11:16Oh, all right

00:11:16I'll go and tell Mrs. Hudson's murder

00:11:19Yeah

00:11:20Why do you say the robbery was idiotic, Mr. Emery?

00:11:25Oh, simply from the fact that

00:11:26With about 5,000 pounds worth of musical boxes in my living room

00:11:29The thief who I caught in the act

00:11:31Made off with one that isn't even worth five pounds

00:11:34I gather you're a collector of musical boxes

00:11:36Yes, I am indeed

00:11:37Some of them are very beautiful

00:11:39But not the one that was stolen

00:11:40The thief evidently grabbed the first thing that came to his hand

00:11:43When he heard me coming into the room

00:11:45Still, it's rather odd, isn't it, that having disposed of you

00:11:48He didn't pick up something more valuable

00:11:50Was there anything unusual about the stolen box?

00:11:53No, nothing at all

00:11:55No, I picked it up in the south of France

00:11:58Oh, several years ago

00:11:59You say you have many valuable music boxes

00:12:02And yet the thief made off with one that isn't worth five pounds

00:12:05Sounds like rather an intriguing little problem

00:12:07That's where I take it

00:12:09That he was just an ordinary petty thief

00:12:11And didn't know the value

00:12:11That is a possible explanation

00:12:13And yet I venture to say

00:12:14That the average petty thief

00:12:16Has a more extensive knowledge of the value of objet d'ah

00:12:18Than the average collector

00:12:19Well, anyway, that's got in the odds theory

00:12:22They didn't get very excited about it

00:12:23That's consistent anyway

00:12:25I wonder if I might see your collection, Mr. Emery

00:12:28Oh, of course you could, yes

00:12:30Nothing a collector likes more than showing off his trophies

00:12:33When will it suit you?

00:12:35No time like the present

00:12:35Good!

00:12:37My place is just round in Portman Square

00:12:39Shall we?

00:12:40Yes, right

00:12:40Hello?

00:12:46Where are you going?

00:12:47Stinky hasn't had his tea yet

00:12:48Oh, I'm sorry

00:12:49We're going round to my place

00:12:50Where I'm going to give you something better than tea

00:12:52Now, this one was made for the Royal the 15th

00:12:57And is one of the very few still in existence from that period

00:13:00And the particularly fine specimen of that

00:13:02Charming, isn't it?

00:13:07Quite

00:13:08They all sound to me like a lot of mice running about on a tin roof

00:13:13I'm afraid you have no ear for music, Watson

00:13:16Give me a good old band playing a rousing march

00:13:18You have all your silly little tweet-tweets

00:13:21Another room

00:13:28Stupid thing

00:13:43Singing rabbit

00:13:44What would you say offhand is the value of a box like that, Mr. Emery?

00:13:49Well, it's hard to say offhand

00:13:51But I think we'll bring about five or six hundred pounds today

00:13:54It's the gem of my collection

00:13:55Yet a thief who steals an oddity like a musical box

00:13:58Passes up one worth five hundred pounds

00:14:00For one of almost no value at all

00:14:02Odd

00:14:03Very odd

00:14:04What worth a stolen box like, Mr. Emery?

00:14:07Oh, just a plain wooden box about so big

00:14:11As a matter of fact, I have one over here

00:14:13Almost exactly like it

00:14:14I picked this up yesterday at an auction room in Knightsbridge

00:14:18Paid only two pounds for it

00:14:20Of course, I wouldn't in the ordinary way

00:14:22I add one like this to my collection

00:14:24But the, um, the tune intrigued me

00:14:26I'd never heard it before

00:14:46You have a remarkable ear for music, Holmes

00:14:48Rather an unusual melody

00:14:50Thanks

00:14:52You, uh, say you bought that box at an auction sale yesterday

00:14:56Yes, the Gaylord auction rooms in Knightsbridge

00:14:59Run by old, uh, what's his name?

00:15:01Crabtree

00:15:02That's the man

00:15:03At what time is the robbery committed?

00:15:05Oh, about, uh, three o'clock this morning

00:15:07You know, Mr. Emery

00:15:09That box and the robbery might well be cause and effect

00:15:12Especially since you say that the stolen box

00:15:14Outputly resembles this one a great deal

00:15:16And, uh, Scotland Yard were not particularly interested, eh?

00:15:20Oh, yes, but I, I wouldn't blame him for that

00:15:22Especially as I told him I was quite unable to describe the thief

00:15:25Except, of course, for the fact that, uh, it was definitely a man

00:15:28All you remember is that you came in here and someone struck you on the head

00:15:31Yes, and the next thing I knew my man was trying to revive me

00:15:34Hmm, it might be wise for you to put that box away somewhere and lock it up

00:15:37Oh, I don't think that's necessary

00:15:39Besides, everything's insured

00:15:41Well, at least if any further attempts at robbery are made

00:15:44I'd suggest that you call the police

00:15:46Rather than running into any personal danger

00:15:48Oh, come, Holmes, aren't you being a bit of an alarmist?

00:15:50Possibly

00:15:51Oh, I must agree with old Stinky

00:15:53Seems to me you are making rather a mountain out of the Moleskir

00:15:55Moleskir

00:15:56Moleskir is the word, old boy, and it's time you were in bed

00:15:59Thanks so much for letting us see your place

00:16:01Well, it's been great meeting you

00:16:04Holmes, I can't understand why he was so mysterious

00:16:07Seems to me the petty thief explanation was the only sensible one

00:16:10Really?

00:16:11Yes, I can't see how you can believe it was anything else

00:16:13I didn't say I believed it to be anything else

00:16:15The petty thief theory is the obvious one, I grant you

00:16:18However, it's often a mistake to accept something as true

00:16:20Merely because it's obvious

00:16:22The truth is only arrived at

00:16:24By the painstaking process of eliminating the untrue

00:16:28We are not able to do that in this case

00:16:31Without further data

00:16:32Rubbish, you're pulling my leg

00:16:34You're trying to turn a

00:16:36A tuppney-happney robbery into an international plot

00:16:39No, I'm not

00:16:40I just hope that your friend Stinky is a little more cautious in the future

00:16:43Just in case

00:16:44Just in case

00:16:45Merely calls

00:17:02I am now

00:17:03And the EPA

00:17:04Which means

00:17:05Just in case

00:17:06There are

00:17:07...

00:17:08Hello?

00:17:10Yes?

00:17:12Julian Emery here.

00:17:14Who?

00:17:16Why...

00:17:18Of course I remember you, Mrs. Courtney.

00:17:20Yes, you're the one bright spot

00:17:22that they're affording the dull affair of Lady Sanford's.

00:17:26Huh?

00:17:28Of course it isn't too late to come round.

00:17:30Yes, I shall be delighted to give you a drink.

00:17:34I tell you what, come straight up and I'll leave the door unlocked.

00:17:38Right, let's follow. Fifteen minutes?

00:17:40Good.

00:17:42I shall be counting each moment.

00:17:44No, no. No, I mean that, really.

00:17:47Right, goodbye.

00:17:49Let's go.

00:17:50Let's go.

00:17:51Let's go.

00:17:52Let's go.

00:17:54I'll have tea-da tea-daa...

00:18:08Boo!

00:18:09Oh!

00:18:10You startled me.

00:18:11Did I?

00:18:12Yes.

00:18:13Must be the pixie in me.

00:18:14I know I shouldn't have called you so late but I was at a party just around the corner

00:18:19and I remembered your invitation to see your collection of musical boxes.

00:18:22My dear Mrs. Courtney, the pleasure is all the greater for being so unexpected.

00:18:27My friends called me Hilda.

00:18:29Oh, thanks. Mine called me Stinky.

00:18:31Stinky, how quaint. Oh, what a perfectly wonderful collection of musical boxes.

00:18:36You know, when you told me you had a collection, I had no idea it was so attractive.

00:18:39Yes, they appeal to the ear as well as to the eye.

00:18:45Oh, what a plain little one.

00:18:47Why, it looks just like a country cousin amid all this grandeur.

00:18:50No, no, no, no, you mustn't underestimate the country cousin.

00:18:53I only last night a burglar broke in here and with all these to choose from went off with one very much like it.

00:18:58Really?

00:18:59Yes, I don't mind the loss of the box so much but I do resent this crack on the scalp.

00:19:03But it makes you look so interesting.

00:19:04Oh, do you think so?

00:19:05Uh-huh.

00:19:06It's funny that's what old Fatso said.

00:19:08Fatso?

00:19:09I mean, uh, Dr. Watson.

00:19:10He was here this evening with a friend, a Mr. Holmes.

00:19:13He's interested in my collection too.

00:19:15Sherlock Holmes?

00:19:16Yes.

00:19:17Do you know him?

00:19:18I've heard of him.

00:19:19Yes, he seems to think I'm in some sort of, uh, danger.

00:19:23What a haunting tune.

00:19:24It takes me right back to my childhood.

00:19:26Really?

00:19:27Do you know, it's odd that you should be interested in that particular musical box.

00:19:30Odd?

00:19:31Why?

00:19:32Because Mr. Holmes is also interested in it.

00:19:34He may have been more interested in the tune than in the box.

00:19:37I get you.

00:19:38That's right.

00:19:39I remember now.

00:19:40He whistled it note for note, having heard it only once.

00:19:43Really?

00:19:44He must be a remarkable man.

00:19:46Bit of an alarmist if you ask me.

00:19:48Don't you believe in warnings?

00:19:50Of course not.

00:19:51Who'd want a box like that?

00:19:53I would.

00:19:54You're not serious.

00:19:55Oh, but I am.

00:19:57Well, you, you put me in a very awkward position.

00:20:00I'm a collector, you know.

00:20:01And the collector buys but never sells.

00:20:03But if the price were high enough?

00:20:06The price has nothing to do with it.

00:20:09It's the principle of the thing.

00:20:11Yes, well, we haven't had our drink.

00:20:15No thanks.

00:20:16I must be getting along.

00:20:18Must you really?

00:20:20I'm afraid so.

00:20:22You're not walking out on me, are you?

00:20:25My reputation.

00:20:27Stinky.

00:20:28I say, you know, you are an attractive woman.

00:20:33Thanks.

00:20:41You fool.

00:20:42I told you to wait outside.

00:20:44What did you have to kill him for?

00:20:46All I had to do was walk out with us.

00:20:48He held you in his arms.

00:20:50Don't touch him.

00:20:51Don't touch anything.

00:20:53Now get out.

00:20:54I'm sorry.

00:20:55You're sorry?

00:20:56What about me?

00:20:58This is murder.

00:20:59What about Scotland Yard?

00:21:01What about Sherlock Holmes?

00:21:03Now get out.

00:21:26Did you get it?

00:21:36Good.

00:21:37Did you have any trouble with him?

00:21:41Just a matter of murder.

00:21:47Ah, Mr. Holmes.

00:21:48Hopkins.

00:21:49Thanks for coming so promptly.

00:21:51Inspector Mastrade suggested that I call through to you.

00:21:53Mr. Emery was the client of Mr. Holmes, Inspector.

00:21:56Indeed.

00:21:57Who didn't mention that when I telephoned you, Mr. Holmes?

00:21:59Well, not exactly a client, Inspector.

00:22:01Dodgen Thompson?

00:22:02He was killed between the hours of 11 and 2 o'clock this morning, Mr. Holmes.

00:22:08Must have been someone he knew.

00:22:10Someone of whom he had no suspicion.

00:22:12Poor old Stinky.

00:22:14It's all my fault.

00:22:15I should have prevented this.

00:22:17Well, there's no time to start talking about that now, Doctor.

00:22:20Apparently it's gone.

00:22:22That's the second attempt on the musical box that Emery bought at the auction sale.

00:22:26And this time it was successful.

00:22:28But that box was only worth two pounds.

00:22:30It was worth a man's life, Watson.

00:22:32I think we'd better pay a visit to Gaylord's auction room and that fellow Crabtree.

00:22:35Inspector, may I suggest that you make a complete search of this flat for a small, plain, musical box about that size.

00:22:42Thank you. Come on, Watson.

00:22:46You say the first box went to Mr. Julian Emery,

00:22:49the second to Mr. Kilgore, 143 B Hampton Way,

00:22:52and the third to the unidentified young lady who presumably has a shop and lives near Golders Green.

00:22:56That's right, Mr. Holmes.

00:22:58Isn't it rather strange, Mr. Crabtree,

00:23:00that you should have had three identical musical boxes all playing the same tune.

00:23:03Where'd they come from?

00:23:04Dartmoor Prison.

00:23:05Dartmoor?

00:23:06Well, we get a regular shipment from there every month.

00:23:08The inmates manufacture them.

00:23:10They make all kinds of things, you know, pipe racks, waste paper baskets, musical boxes.

00:23:13Did you happen to notice if anyone showed any particular interest during the auction in the purchasers of these three boxes?

00:23:22Oh, come now, Mr. Crabtree.

00:23:24This is very literally a matter of life and death.

00:23:26Well, since you put it that way, Mr. Holmes,

00:23:28there was a gentleman came in here about an hour after closing time,

00:23:31and he was in an awful state, he was.

00:23:33He gave me five pounds to tell him where the boxes had gone to.

00:23:37He said they had a sentimental value for him, sir.

00:23:39Oh, expensive sentiment.

00:23:41Can you describe him?

00:23:42He was tall, distinguished looking, and he had grey hair and a moustache.

00:23:46Oh, he's quite a gentleman, sir.

00:23:47Now, what was his reaction when you were unable to supply him with the address of the young lady who owned the shop?

00:23:52I told him the young lady usually come back on Thursday.

00:23:55He said he'd come back on Thursday.

00:23:56Now, that's tomorrow.

00:23:57Thank you, Mr. Crabtree.

00:23:58You've been very helpful.

00:24:00Come along, Watson.

00:24:01Where are we going now, Holmes?

00:24:02Where am I, Mr. Kilgore?

00:24:04The men who bought the third box.

00:24:12But hang it all, Holmes.

00:24:13How do you know those other two musical boxes are of any importance?

00:24:16I don't, but I certainly have no intention of waiting until the owners are murdered to find out.

00:24:22No one at home.

00:24:24I hope that's the explanation.

00:24:26Well, have a look through this window.

00:24:33Doesn't seem to be anyone there.

00:24:36The whole place seems deserted, as far as I can see.

00:24:40Yes?

00:24:41Mr. and Mrs. Kilgore at home?

00:24:43No.

00:24:44When do you expect them?

00:24:45Oh, in an hour or so.

00:24:46There's no use your hanging about.

00:24:48They don't buy nothing from peddlers.

00:24:50Peddlers?

00:24:51My good woman.

00:24:52This is Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

00:24:53Sherlock Holmes?

00:24:54Oh, go on.

00:24:55Do you mind if we come in and wait?

00:24:57My business is rather urgent.

00:24:58Well, I've got to go out and do my shopping.

00:25:01And I don't know if Mrs. Kilgore like any stranger's nosing about.

00:25:05Quite all right, I assure you.

00:25:06Well, I've got to be off.

00:25:08It's a wait in the parlour.

00:25:10And no smoking, either.

00:25:12Mrs. Kilgore says it smells up the house.

00:25:14Funny old girl home.

00:25:15Hmm.

00:25:16Ha.

00:25:17Park Lane.

00:25:18Park Lane?

00:25:19What would the likes of you be doing in Park Lane?

00:25:20Now, don't worry about the fair ducky.

00:25:21If you knows how to get to Park Lane, I'll bet.

00:25:22Help it.

00:25:23You know, Holmes, I've been thinking.

00:25:24There must have been a little joke how you can find them all.

00:25:34Let me get to Park Lane, aren't you?

00:25:37Sir.

00:25:38I'll put myself up.

00:25:39Rock Lane?

00:25:40Part Lane.

00:25:41Well, what would the likes of you be doing in Park Lane?

00:25:42Now, don't worry about the fair ducky.

00:25:44If you know how to get to Park Lane, help it.

00:25:47You know, Holmes, I've been thinking.

00:25:49There must have been time for the ი�ывает.

00:25:52I've been thinking. There must have been something hidden in that box of old stinkies.

00:25:57Stolen jewelry, possibly.

00:26:01What's up, Holmes?

00:26:02Listen.

00:26:05What, just the steam and the water pipes?

00:26:14Watson!

00:26:17Great Scott!

00:26:19Come on, Holmes. Get out of the chair here.

00:26:23It's all right, my dear.

00:26:27There, there, there. Now, don't worry.

00:26:30It's all over.

00:26:32There you are, dear. Don't cry any more.

00:26:35She tied me up and shut me in the cupboard.

00:26:37I know, I know. She won't come back.

00:26:41Did you show her your new musical box?

00:26:43Yes, she said she wanted to hear it play.

00:26:46And as soon as I showed it to her, she grabbed all of it.

00:26:49I know, I know. Now, don't worry. Nobody will buy you a new musical box.

00:26:52Yes, my dear. The best one in London.

00:26:54Watson.

00:26:56Oh, what a fool. What a fool I've been.

00:26:58What do you mean, Holmes?

00:26:59She took the musical box out of this house in that market basket.

00:27:02Right under our very noses.

00:27:04Why could the Kilgore childwoman want to take the music box?

00:27:08She isn't the Kilgore childwoman.

00:27:09She's a consummate actress.

00:27:11An extremely clever, unscrupulous woman who will stop at nothing.

00:27:13Take care of the child, will you, Wolf,

00:27:14until her parents get back.

00:27:16Explain everything to them.

00:27:17Of course I will.

00:27:18But, Holmes, where are you going?

00:27:21Somewhere, somehow.

00:27:23I must get to the young lady who bought that third musical box

00:27:25before our opponents find her.

00:27:26I only hope that I won't be too late.

00:27:32Oh, no.

00:27:33No, no.

00:27:34No, no, no, darling.

00:27:35You mustn't cry anymore.

00:27:37Now, cheer up.

00:27:39Would you...

00:27:40Would you like to hear old uncle make a noise like a duck?

00:27:53Oh, sorry?

00:27:56Oh, dear.

00:27:57Oh, dear.

00:27:58Oh, dear.

00:27:59Oh, dear.

00:28:00Oh, dear.

00:28:01Oh, dear.

00:31:14I could do with a cup.

00:31:15Right.

00:31:20Good afternoon.

00:31:21Good afternoon.

00:31:22I'm looking for a birthday gift for a seven-year-old girl.

00:31:25What would you suggest?

00:31:26We have some lovely dolls.

00:31:27Now, this Hungarian...

00:31:28I think she has enough dolls already.

00:31:30Books are always welcome.

00:31:32Well, I'm looking for something a little different.

00:31:34Well, that's rather cute.

00:31:35What is it?

00:31:36Oh, that's a musical box.

00:31:38Children always love them.

00:31:40And this is an exceptionally nice one.

00:31:43It plays many tunes.

00:31:51Have you any others?

00:31:52Yes.

00:31:53If you'll just step this way.

00:31:55I have only two left.

00:32:01How nice.

00:32:02Are you sure this is all you have?

00:32:09I'm sorry.

00:32:10They're rather hard to find, you know.

00:32:12That's our entire allotment.

00:32:14I did have one other, but I sold it earlier this afternoon.

00:32:17But it was only a plain wooden one.

00:32:19It wouldn't have been a very nice gift for a child.

00:32:21Really?

00:32:22Do you happen to know who the purchaser was?

00:32:25Why, yes.

00:32:27He left his card.

00:32:28Just in case anyone should inquire for him.

00:32:37How interesting.

00:32:42I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to look a bit further.

00:32:44Thank you, anyway.

00:32:45Good afternoon, thank you.

00:33:14Heavy!

00:33:14All of that cab.

00:33:19Here, now.

00:33:20What?

00:33:21Gotland Yard.

00:33:22Hop in.

00:33:30Sherlock Holmes.

00:33:31I might have known.

00:33:33We thought we were the hunters.

00:33:36Instead of which, we're the hunted.

00:33:38We've been fools.

00:33:39We played right into his hands.

00:33:42Of course.

00:33:43He's had us followed.

00:33:45Don't look.

00:33:47The man in front of the toy shop.

00:33:51Hamid.

00:33:53Turn sharp right at the next corner and again at the next.

00:33:55No photograph of her, Commissioner.

00:34:04As I expected.

00:34:06She's not a known criminal.

00:34:08But I'd expect to know if you do find her.

00:34:10After all, she was disguised as a charwoman.

00:34:12Don't worry, old fellow.

00:34:13If I ever see her again, I'll recognize her.

00:34:17Well, it won't be long till we know who they are and from where they operate.

00:34:21Who's covering them?

00:34:22Sergeant Thompson's following them, sir.

00:34:24They won't get away from him.

00:34:25He's a good man.

00:34:26We could have arrested them at Clifford's Toy Shop if we had any proof.

00:34:28But we know that they killed Emmerer.

00:34:31Proof, my dear fellow.

00:34:32We must have proof.

00:34:35We have x-rayed it, sir.

00:34:37There's nothing whatever concealed in the box.

00:34:38We'll have a look at the plates.

00:34:40There must be some clue.

00:34:51And it's probably been so obvious that we've all overlooked it.

00:34:53Seems to me we're up against a bunch of lunatics.

00:34:58Not lunatics, my dear fellow.

00:35:00Extremely astute, cold-blooded murderers.

00:35:02What can these little musical boxes have in them so important?

00:35:06Don't forget they were made in Dartmoor Prison.

00:35:08You can smuggle stuff into prison, but not out.

00:35:11Do you want us to break the box apart, sir,

00:35:13to see if there's anything the x-ray hasn't caught?

00:35:15No, not yet.

00:35:17Do you mind if I take it?

00:35:18Certainly.

00:35:18Thanks.

00:35:28The governor of Dartmoor Prison informed us, sir,

00:35:31in answer to Mr. Holmes' question,

00:35:34that all three musical boxes were made by the same convict,

00:35:36John Davidson.

00:35:37Serving a seven-year term, sir.

00:35:39Davidson?

00:35:40The Bank of England plates.

00:35:41That'll be all.

00:35:42Yes, sir.

00:35:44Now we're getting somewhere.

00:35:45Wait a minute.

00:35:47How did you know about the plates, Mr. Holmes?

00:35:49I'm a student of crime, Inspector.

00:35:51I make it my business to know about such things.

00:35:53And when the name of Davidson was mentioned...

00:35:55Well, who is this fellow Davidson?

00:35:57As long as Mr. Holmes seems to know all about it already,

00:36:00I suppose there's no harm in telling you.

00:36:01Two years ago in London, there occurred a robbery of such tremendous importance,

00:36:09although the stolen articles themselves have no intrinsic value whatsoever,

00:36:13that the Home Secretary was instrumental in seeing that not a word of it appeared in any newspaper.

00:36:17But you never told me anything about this, Holmes?

00:36:20You were away at the time.

00:36:22Articles of no intrinsic value and yet of such importance?

00:36:25I don't understand.

00:36:27Davidson was apprehended within 15 minutes of committing the theft.

00:36:31But by that time, he'd hidden the articles in question and they've yet to be found.

00:36:35Before going further, Dr. Watson,

00:36:37I must inform you that this matter's not to be mentioned outside of this room.

00:36:41Of course not.

00:36:41Do I look like a man who'd gossip?

00:36:44Let's not go into that now, old fellow, shall we?

00:36:47Davidson had been employed for years

00:36:49in a position of extreme trust

00:36:51by the engravings department of the Bank of England.

00:36:53The articles he stole were nothing less

00:36:55than a complete duplicate set of plates for printing five-pound notes.

00:37:00What?

00:37:01The Bank of England's own plates?

00:37:02Precisely.

00:37:03And with those plates,

00:37:05a gang of crooks could flood England with five-pound notes.

00:37:08Not forged, in the usual sense of the word,

00:37:10but notes undetectable from genuine Bank of England notes

00:37:13in any way whatsoever.

00:37:14Good heavens.

00:37:16Any whisper at all might have resulted in enormous damage

00:37:18in shaking public confidence in the treasury.

00:37:21We tried everything after we arrested Davidson.

00:37:23Offered him a shorter sentence

00:37:25if he'd tell us where he'd hidden the plates.

00:37:26Why, we even put in Scotland Yard men with him as cellmates,

00:37:30but no results.

00:37:31Obviously, Davidson is a man of strong character

00:37:34and infinite patience.

00:37:36Yet suddenly, he feels impelled

00:37:38to smuggle out the secret of the hiding place of the plates

00:37:41to his confederates.

00:37:42Why?

00:37:43I don't understand, Mr. Holmes.

00:37:46Well, for example,

00:37:48has the Bank of England made any plans

00:37:49to radically change the design of the five-pound notes

00:37:52so that in, say, seven years from now,

00:37:55notes made from the stolen plates would be worthless?

00:37:57Well, confidentially, Mr. Holmes,

00:37:59such a move was discussed.

00:38:01But replacing all the five-pound notes in circulation

00:38:03would be such a Herculean task

00:38:05that nothing's been done about it as yet.

00:38:07I see.

00:38:09Of course, there is another possible explanation.

00:38:11Davidson didn't have much time

00:38:13to find a hiding place before he was captured.

00:38:15He may be afraid

00:38:16that the plates will be accidentally discovered

00:38:19before he's released.

00:38:21Hence his anxiety

00:38:22to communicate their whereabouts

00:38:24to his confederates as soon as possible.

00:38:26I believe you've hit it, Mr. Holmes.

00:38:28I'm sure that the message

00:38:30is contained in this musical box.

00:38:33Or rather, in all three musical boxes,

00:38:36since possession of all three

00:38:37seems to be essential.

00:38:39Our opponents have two-thirds of the puzzle,

00:38:41we have one-third.

00:38:42Well, what are you going to do, Holmes?

00:38:45Try to deduce the message

00:38:46from the one-third that we have.

00:39:22It's the same tune

00:39:29as the one

00:39:29played by Emery's musical box.

00:39:33And yet it's different.

00:39:35Sounds the same to me.

00:39:37The tune.

00:39:40Somehow the tune

00:39:42is the key to the mystery.

00:39:45It must be the tune.

00:39:47Otherwise, why use three musical boxes

00:39:49to convey the message?

00:39:50Why not collar boxes

00:39:52or shoe boxes?

00:39:55Yes?

00:39:57Oh.

00:39:58It's for you, Inspector.

00:39:59Oh, thank you, sir.

00:40:01Inspector Hopkins speaking.

00:40:04What?

00:40:07Where?

00:40:07Golder's Green Station reports

00:40:11they've just found

00:40:12Sergeant Thompson's body.

00:40:13From the tire marks on his clothes,

00:40:15he was apparently run over by taxi.

00:40:18What an unfortunate accident.

00:40:20Not an accident, my dear fellow.

00:40:23I'm afraid it's murder.

00:40:24Oh, you never know

00:40:29just who you're going to meet

00:40:31when you're walking

00:40:33down a busy London street.

00:40:37Mrs. Orchid,

00:40:38Mrs. Brown,

00:40:39any subject of the crowd.

00:40:41Oh, you never know

00:40:43just who you're going to meet.

00:40:45So,

00:40:47you better

00:40:48hold your topper

00:40:50in your hand

00:40:51just in case

00:40:53you meet a lady

00:40:54on the strand.

00:40:56Girls will think

00:40:58you're kind of sweet

00:40:59and your day

00:41:00will be complete.

00:41:01Oh, you never know

00:41:03just who you're going to meet.

00:41:05Now a gentleman

00:41:07is judged

00:41:08by his appearance.

00:41:11Yes, a gentleman

00:41:12is judged

00:41:13by how he talks.

00:41:16Now he's much

00:41:17better off

00:41:18when he's

00:41:19acting

00:41:19like a toff

00:41:20especially

00:41:21if he's

00:41:22taking him

00:41:23a walk.

00:41:25What on earth

00:41:25is this outlandish place?

00:41:28A rendezvous for actors.

00:41:29Actors?

00:41:31Buskers, old boy.

00:41:32You've seen them

00:41:33a thousand times.

00:41:34Actors who entertain

00:41:35the queues

00:41:36waiting outside theatres.

00:41:38Oh, you never know

00:41:41just who you're going to meet

00:41:43When you're walking

00:41:45down a busy London street

00:41:47So, you better

00:41:49wear your vest

00:41:51Go with pies

00:41:52to look your best

00:41:53Cause you never know

00:41:55just who you're going to meet

00:41:57So, you better

00:42:00keep your manners

00:42:02right in view

00:42:03Just in case

00:42:05a lie

00:42:06gives

00:42:06a how'd you do

00:42:08Keep your trousers

00:42:10in a fleet

00:42:11Shine your shoes

00:42:12and keep them neat

00:42:13Cause you never know

00:42:15just who you're going to be

00:42:17Blimey

00:42:18Mr. Holmes

00:42:20How are you, Joe?

00:42:23Never pet him

00:42:24And yourself?

00:42:25Fine, thank you

00:42:26I want you to meet

00:42:27a friend of mine

00:42:27Dr. Watson

00:42:28Joe Sisto

00:42:28Oh, well, any friend

00:42:30of Mr. Holmes

00:42:30is a friend of mine

00:42:31How are you, Joe?

00:42:32He did me a good turn

00:42:33once that I'll never forget

00:42:34Yes, I cleared Joe

00:42:35of a most unpleasant charge

00:42:36Murder, no less

00:42:38Oh, really?

00:42:39By proving

00:42:39to the satisfaction

00:42:40of the police

00:42:40that he was busy

00:42:41at the time

00:42:42blowing open someone's safe

00:42:43That's right, Governor

00:42:44Good gracious me

00:42:45Now, Joe

00:42:46Now, you can help me

00:42:48Come on, buzz off

00:42:51Come on, up here

00:42:52Can't a gentleman

00:42:54have some peace

00:42:54and quiet around here?

00:42:59And you, too

00:43:00There you are, Mr. Holmes

00:43:03Now we can have some

00:43:04peace and quiet around here

00:43:05Thank you, Joe

00:43:06There's five pounds

00:43:08of this for you

00:43:08Well, I wouldn't want

00:43:10to take it on myself, sir

00:43:11but I can get somebody

00:43:12to do it for you

00:43:13for half of that

00:43:14You don't know

00:43:14what the job is yet

00:43:15For five pounds?

00:43:17Murder, ain't it?

00:43:18What?

00:43:19No, Joe, not murder

00:43:20just music

00:43:21I want you to identify

00:43:22a song for me

00:43:23Oh, there ain't a song

00:43:24that's been written

00:43:25that I don't know

00:43:26That's why I came to you

00:43:27Of course, the violin

00:43:29is more my instrument

00:43:30but, um

00:43:30Oh, well

00:43:32Here we go

00:43:32Now, listen to this, Joe

00:43:33Wait a minute

00:43:40You're playing that wrong

00:43:42That should be

00:43:43E natural

00:43:43not E flat

00:43:44You know the song?

00:43:45Oh, yes

00:43:46It's an old Australian song

00:43:47called, uh

00:43:48The Swag Man

00:43:49But you're playing it all wrong

00:43:51That's what I hoped you'd say

00:43:52Now, listen again, Joe

00:43:53That's the same tune, all right

00:44:01But you're making different mistakes

00:44:03than you did the first time

00:44:04No, not mistakes, Joe

00:44:05Call them variations

00:44:06Here, play the song for me

00:44:07We'll hear the way it's written

00:44:08Here you are

00:44:31Thank you, Joe

00:44:32What's it mean, Holmes?

00:44:35Are you on to something?

00:44:37Perhaps

00:44:37I don't know yet

00:44:39It's probably a code of some sort

00:44:42Joe

00:44:43Could you write the song down for me

00:44:47The way it was originally written?

00:44:49Oh, sure, Miss Downs

00:44:50But it'll take a few minutes

00:44:52Here, Mabel

00:44:53Pale ale

00:44:56Come on, up to it

00:44:58Along with it

00:44:59Well, obviously it isn't the lyrics

00:45:13No combination of those words

00:45:14made any sense at all

00:45:15The variations in the way

00:45:17Emery's musical box played the tune

00:45:19are different from the variations

00:45:20of the one we have

00:45:21You're sure?

00:45:22Quite

00:45:22You see, I took the trouble

00:45:23to memorize the tune

00:45:25as played by Emery's box

00:45:26that night we were with him

00:45:27in his flat

00:45:28Oh, you amaze me

00:45:29Elementary, my dear fellow

00:45:30Well, one of the first principles

00:45:31in solving crime

00:45:33is never to disregard anything

00:45:34no matter how trivial

00:45:35But why the three boxes?

00:45:37Why not one?

00:45:38Because the message

00:45:39was obviously too long

00:45:40to be conveyed

00:45:41by any one variation

00:45:42Then there's the third box

00:45:44The one that woman

00:45:46took from the Kilgores

00:45:47That can came

00:45:49as yet another set of variations

00:45:50Yes, sir

00:45:51It's all beyond me

00:45:52Well, all we have to do now

00:45:55is to find the secret

00:45:56of the variations

00:45:57Not a very easy problem

00:45:58to solve, my dear fellow

00:45:59Hello

00:46:04What's up?

00:46:09We've had company

00:46:11I say, this is outrageous

00:46:18Ask Mrs. Hudson

00:46:22to come in here, will you?

00:46:23Right

00:46:24Oh, there you are

00:46:34Will you come up here

00:46:35at once, please?

00:46:36Oh, coming, sir

00:46:37Oh, coming, sir

00:46:37Merci, mime

00:46:54Mr. Holmes

00:46:54What has happened?

00:46:56Who called while we were up,

00:46:57Mrs. Hudson?

00:46:58Just a young lady

00:46:59The one who said

00:47:00you wanted her to wait for you

00:47:02And a nice-looking old gentleman

00:47:03Our friends again, Watson

00:47:04Friends?

00:47:06What did the young lady look like?

00:47:07Oh, I couldn't see her face

00:47:09She had a heavy black veil on

00:47:11But she had such a nice way with her

00:47:14Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes

00:47:17if I've done anything wrong

00:47:19Oh, but you did say

00:47:21I should always let clients

00:47:22come in and wait for you

00:47:23Don't worry, Mrs. Hudson

00:47:24Don't worry

00:47:25You had no way of knowing

00:47:26It's quite all right

00:47:28Quite all right

00:47:28Now, don't worry, Mrs. Hudson

00:47:30Don't worry

00:47:34Well, where on earth's the musical box?

00:47:37They didn't get it

00:47:39Didn't get it?

00:47:40Where is it?

00:47:42It's in your hand

00:47:43In the biscuit jar

00:47:45Take the biscuits off the top

00:47:49Now, put your hand inside

00:47:54And you'll find the music box

00:47:56Well done, Holmes

00:47:59Well done, amazing

00:48:01Nice, fresh smell

00:48:24Like a pub after closing time

00:48:26Oh, sir, Holmes

00:48:33What?

00:48:35It's morning

00:48:36Allow me to congratulate you

00:48:38on a brilliant bit of deduction

00:48:39It's not a transposition

00:48:48Not a polygraph transposition

00:48:50Not a trigraph

00:48:51Nor any known form of decoding

00:48:54How about the Morse code?

00:48:56Have you tried that?

00:48:57Yes, at about three o'clock this morning

00:48:59I'm sorry, old man

00:48:59I was only trying to help

00:49:00Oh, do me a favor

00:49:19Not again

00:49:20Must have heard that thing a thousand times

00:49:22Can't be awake all night

00:49:23Not a very distinguished conversation

00:49:32I grant you

00:49:33You know perfectly well

00:49:34I don't know one tune from the other

00:49:36When I was a kid

00:49:37My people tried to have me taught the piano

00:49:39I've always felt sorry

00:49:41For that old teacher of mine

00:49:42The poor old girl

00:49:43Finally reached the point

00:49:44Of numbing the keys for me

00:49:46One, two, three, four

00:49:47Even then

00:49:48I never progressed beyond

00:49:50Numbering the keys, Watson

00:49:51The 19th key of the keyboard

00:49:54Is the 19th letter of the alphabet

00:49:56S

00:49:57Here

00:49:58Now, get down when I give it to the old fellow, will you?

00:50:02The first altered note

00:50:03Write S first

00:50:05Now, the 8th key

00:50:07Is H

00:50:10The 5th key, E

00:50:12The 12th key, L

00:50:17The 6th key, F

00:50:19S, H, E, L, F

00:50:22Shelf

00:50:23Your piano lessons were not in vain, old fellow

00:50:27You've solved it

00:50:28Thank you

00:50:28Thanks, old man

00:50:31We now have two-thirds of the message

00:50:36Behind books

00:50:37Third shelf

00:50:39Secretary

00:50:40Dr. S

00:50:41Presumably

00:50:44These are the first and second portions of the message

00:50:47And this gang has the first and third parts of it

00:50:51Precisely

00:50:52Then it's a stalemate

00:50:53Yes, Commissioner

00:50:54But we can't leave it like that

00:50:55There's no doubt in my mind

00:50:56That they'll try to secure

00:50:57Our third of the message that's missing

00:50:59Well, I assume you've taken every precaution to guard

00:51:02The Clifford Music

00:51:02Oh, yes, it's carefully hidden at Baker Street

00:51:04With Dr. Watson on guard

00:51:05However, I'm reasonably certain

00:51:07That, uh, difficult as it may be

00:51:09We can find the plates

00:51:10Even without the missing part of the message

00:51:12Behind books

00:51:15Third shelf

00:51:16Secretary

00:51:17Dr. S

00:51:18Well, outside of the fact that Davidson hid the Bank of England plates somewhere in London, Mr. Holmes

00:51:23I don't see that we've progressed at all

00:51:24Allow me to point out to you, sir

00:51:26The key words

00:51:28Dr. S

00:51:29It looks as if the plates were hidden in the house of the doctor

00:51:33Whether S stands for his first or last initial

00:51:36Remains to be determined by a process of elimination

00:51:38Well, there must be 10,000 doctors in London

00:51:41With S for a first or last initial

00:51:43Precisely

00:51:44And every one of them will have to be questioned in person

00:51:47That's why I say this is a task for Scotland Yard

00:51:50It's a task, all right

00:51:51But Scotland Yard has searched worse haystacks and found a needle

00:51:55Well, for the time being

00:51:56I'll leave the matter in your hands, gentlemen

00:51:59We'll call you if and when we get a lead on our mysterious Dr. S

00:52:04Thank you

00:52:05In the meantime, I intend to follow up a little clue concerning a cigarette

00:52:08You're certain of the identification of the tobacco?

00:52:19Absolutely

00:52:19I have made up this special blend for only three customers

00:52:23It is almost pure Egyptian

00:52:26With admixture of Latakia for added body

00:52:30And a pinch of Perique

00:52:32Merely a whisper, as one might say

00:52:35For elusive fragrance

00:52:37Yes, yes, and the three customers

00:52:39Major Wilson in Bombay, India

00:52:42Mrs. Catherine Leamington-Smith in Ireland

00:52:46Yes, and the third

00:52:48Mrs. Hilda Courtney of Park Mansions, Brianston Square

00:52:53Thank you, thank you very much, you've been most helpful

00:52:55It is a pleasure to have been of service, Mr. Holmes

00:52:57Yes, Mrs. Courtney

00:53:10Yes

00:53:11My name is Sherlock Holmes

00:53:13Oh, do come in

00:53:14Thank you

00:53:15I've heard of you, of course, Mr. Holmes

00:53:17I believe we have a mutual friend in Sir Edward Brookdale

00:53:22He's spoken to me of you quite often

00:53:24Indeed

00:53:25And to what good fortune am I indebted for this visit?

00:53:31I think you know, Mrs. Courtney

00:53:33Well, I did get a summons for speeding last week

00:53:37But outside of that, I don't think I'm of any interest to the police

00:53:40Oh, come now, Mrs. Courtney

00:53:42You seem to forget that you and I have met before

00:53:44I'm sorry

00:53:46I'm sure I would have remembered meeting the great Sherlock Holmes

00:53:49Please sit down

00:53:50Thank you

00:53:51You say we met before

00:53:54Yes

00:53:55At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kilgore, 143B Hampton Road

00:54:00Kilgore?

00:54:02I don't think I know anyone of that name

00:54:05Well, I didn't say you knew them

00:54:07As a matter of fact, you called on them when they were out

00:54:10I don't understand, Mr. Holmes

00:54:13Really?

00:54:14And you were dressed rather differently

00:54:17Indeed

00:54:18Cigarette

00:54:20Thank you

00:54:23Thank you

00:54:36Thank you

00:54:40You know, Mrs. Courtney

00:54:42People generally forget, in assuming a disguise

00:54:45That the shape of the ear

00:54:47Is an almost infallible means of recognition and identification to the trained eye

00:54:51Evidently you've mistaken me for someone else

00:54:53Oh, no, not at all

00:54:54Though naturally I expected your denial

00:54:57But when you paid your visit to my rooms at Baker Street

00:55:01You carelessly left behind

00:55:03Another identification

00:55:05They're, uh

00:55:08Identical, aren't they?

00:55:10Yes, I must admit they are

00:55:12You see, Mr. Holmes

00:55:13To catch one as clever as you

00:55:15I had to use a very special lure

00:55:17I knew you'd be unable to resist the bait of my cigarette

00:55:20Having read with great interest your monograph

00:55:23On the ashes of 140 different varieties of tobacco

00:55:26I should advise you not to move, Mr. Holmes

00:55:30I must congratulate you on your ingenuity, Mrs. Courtney

00:55:35It was indeed a brilliantly designed trap

00:55:37Thank you, Mr. Holmes

00:55:39Praise from a master is indeed gratifying

00:55:42I shall always cherish the memory of your flattering words

00:55:46Memory?

00:55:48Precisely

00:55:50I'm afraid these gentlemen have a most regrettable task to perform

00:55:54Unless, of course, you care to turn over the missing musical box

00:55:59With your pledge to take no action against us in the future

00:56:03I'm afraid that will be impossible

00:56:05I thought that would be your answer

00:56:06Humid

00:56:07Careful!

00:56:09Careful?

00:56:10There's no need to be unnecessarily rough with our distinguished guests

00:56:14You realize, Mr. Holmes, that your demise will not take place here

00:56:18The, uh

00:56:20Corpus Delecti, you know?

00:56:22Well, naturally

00:56:23Shall we go?

00:56:27So fearfully awkward having a dead body lying about

00:56:30Don't you agree, Mr. Holmes?

00:56:32Another dead body shouldn't weigh too heavily on your conscience, Mrs. Courtney

00:56:44Do you mind if I have a cigarette?

00:56:46Well, I don't see why not

00:56:53Be careful, Hamid

00:57:03It's the brakes. They bind

00:57:06Thank you, Colonel Kavanagh. It's very considerate of you

00:57:12He's as an anxious hazy

00:57:13And now

00:57:17George

00:57:18Do you want torule to do something

00:57:19That's the best

00:57:20That is my agenda

00:57:21I was joking

00:57:22You know

00:57:23It's the best

00:57:24It's the best

00:57:25And now

00:57:26He's just

00:57:27He's in the right

00:57:28When you're talking

00:57:29And now

00:57:30He's back

00:57:31He's in the right

00:57:32He's in the right

00:57:33He's in the right

00:57:34And now

00:57:35He's in the right

00:57:36You'll be happy to know, Mr. Holmes, that your death will be a painless one.

00:57:49I mean, attach this to the motor of the taxi.

00:57:56That little attachment, my dear Mr. Holmes, contains the deadly fluid known as monosulfine.

00:58:02The Germans use it with gratifying results in removing their undesirables.

00:58:12Start the motor.

00:58:32Tape his mouth.

00:58:44Now, up with him, Hamid.

00:58:49You find yourself like Mohammed's coffin, Mr. Holmes, suspended between heaven and earth.

00:59:07Sir.

00:59:12Plenty of fuel in the tank?

00:59:15Good.

00:59:16It would be too bad to have anything go wrong through so simple an oversight.

00:59:37One of hisohn, Smoky Jackson and O연?

00:59:39Alexander, please wait.

00:59:43Down, don't worry here.

00:59:45Go to Dalio.

00:59:46Zerual is Holmes.

00:59:47Have a good day.

00:59:50Come on, get out in the morning.

00:59:51Amid!

00:59:55My friend daughter.

00:59:57He will be free now.

01:00:03Cracker is seated!

01:00:04Good afternoon.

01:00:32Mr. Sherlock Holmes?

01:00:33No, I'm Dr. Watson.

01:00:35Oh, of course, Dr. Watson.

01:00:37How stupid of me.

01:00:38Oh, that's all stupid of me.

01:00:40Won't you come in?

01:00:42Well, I really came to see Mr. Holmes.

01:00:45Oh, I'm afraid he's out. I don't know when he'll be back.

01:00:47Perhaps there's something I can do.

01:00:49Won't you sit down?

01:00:51You know, Sherlock Holmes and I have been engaged on a great many cases.

01:00:56Oh, really?

01:00:57Yes, indeed.

01:00:58As a matter of fact, this very moment we're involved in one of the most baffling...

01:01:02Oh, well, won't you tell me you're trouble?

01:01:05I may be able to help you.

01:01:06That's very kind of you, Dr. Watson.

01:01:08Perhaps if I wouldn't be imposing too much...

01:01:12Imposing? Oh, there's no imposition.

01:01:14No imposition at all.

01:01:15A pleasure, I assure you.

01:01:17Now, tell me all about it, Miss...

01:01:19Miss Williams.

01:01:20Miss Williams.

01:01:21I live in Surrey, Dr. Watson, and I've come up to London in sheer desperation.

01:01:25My only sister has disappeared, and the local police seem utterly unable to find her.

01:01:29Well, Holmes and I solved a case exactly like that once.

01:01:32Very interesting, as far as I remember.

01:01:34I call it the... the adventure of the solitary cyclist.

01:01:39Oh, sorry.

01:01:40Now I come to think of it, it wasn't so very similar.

01:01:42It was entirely different.

01:01:44I don't think of what I'm saying.

01:01:46Uh-oh.

01:01:47Where were we?

01:01:48She's only 17, Dr. Watson, and...

01:01:51until she disappeared last Thursday, she seemed to be in the best of spirits.

01:01:56Well, possibly a... a romantic entanglement?

01:01:59Oh, no, no, nothing of the sort.

01:02:01She left no note, didn't even pack a bag, no explanation.

01:02:05She just started to walk to the village from our house in broad daylight,

01:02:08and simply vanished from the face of the earth.

01:02:11Oh, there, there, there, there.

01:02:13Might I have a glass of water?

01:02:15A glass of water.

01:02:16A glass of water.

01:02:17A glass of water.

01:02:18I'll have one in one minute.

01:02:45There you are, my dear.

01:02:46Thank you, Dr. Watson.

01:02:47No, no, no.

01:02:48You're not to cry anymore.

01:02:49You must pull yourself together.

01:02:50Oh, I feel much better already knowing that you're going to help me.

01:02:51Oh, Dr. Watson, look!

01:02:52Good heavens!

01:02:53Get through!

01:02:54Get through the fire brigade, quickly!

01:02:55Haven't you a fire extinguisher?

01:02:56God, you ain't.

01:02:57We haven't.

01:02:58We haven't.

01:02:59I think we haven't.

01:03:00He's on the game.

01:03:01Keep.

01:03:02filho.

01:03:03We haven't.

01:03:04I'm so sure, Jack, could you?

01:03:05I should be so honest.

01:03:06You've got to take us.

01:03:07I just said he's going to help me.

01:03:08Mr. Watson, look!

01:03:09I'm so sure, Jack.

01:03:11What's the matter?

01:03:12To the fire brigade, I see you.

01:03:13I don't know.

01:03:14No, I don't know.

01:03:15I don't know what's the matter, Jack.

01:03:16Don't you worry, Miss Williams, we'll have this thing out in no time.

01:03:40Don't you worry, Miss Williams, we'll have this thing out in no time.

01:03:46Ah, that's got it.

01:03:58Yes, it's the mayor.

01:04:01Well, you see, there was no need for the fire brigade after all.

01:04:06I hope you weren't too frightened, Miss Williams.

01:04:12Gone.

01:04:13What's the trouble of women?

01:04:15They always lose their heads in an emergency.

01:04:20Hello.

01:04:26A musical box.

01:04:29Great Scott.

01:04:34Miss Williams.

01:04:35Miss Williams!

01:04:42Well?

01:04:44Good.

01:04:46And Holmes?

01:04:47By now, Mr. Holmes has no doubt exchanged his violin for a harp.

01:04:51Always assuming that heaven is his destination.

01:04:53Yeah.

01:04:56And now that we have the missing musical box.

01:05:08Nineteenth note.

01:05:10Nineteenth note.

01:05:12Nineteenth letter.

01:05:13Yes.

01:05:14He hasn't been there, you say?

01:05:18Holmes, where on earth have you been?

01:05:20I've been trying to get you at the club, at Scotland Yard, all over London.

01:05:24You were looking for me in the wrong places.

01:05:25Holmes, a terrible thing's happened.

01:05:26I've been duped.

01:05:27That woman, she made a complete fool of me.

01:05:28Well, what do you mean?

01:05:29Well, she came here and let off a smoke bomb.

01:05:30I thought the whole place was on fire and my first thought was to save a musical box.

01:05:31No need to say any more.

01:05:32She has the box.

01:05:33Yes.

01:05:35Don't blame yourself too much, old fellow.

01:05:37She is an extremely clever antagonist.

01:05:41Smoke bomb, you said?

01:05:43You said?

01:05:45Yes.

01:05:47Yes.

01:05:49Yes.

01:05:51Yes.

01:05:52Yes.

01:05:53Yes.

01:05:54Yes.

01:05:55Yes.

01:05:56Yes.

01:05:57Yes.

01:05:58Yes.

01:05:59Yes.

01:06:00Yes.

01:06:01Yes.

01:06:04Well, you can console yourself with the thought that your charming friend is at least a reader of yours.

01:06:09What do you mean?

01:06:10If I remember correctly, you wrote about my little experiment with smoke and the crying fire

01:06:15and a story you entitled, A Scandal in Bohemia, which has just appeared in the Strand magazine.

01:06:20All right, all right, old boy. Don't rub it in.

01:06:24Well, it may turn you up to know that you made a fool of me too.

01:06:29That cigarette stub.

01:06:31It was planted here for one express purpose.

01:06:34We got a bandaging around this place.

01:06:35Bandaging?

01:06:36What's the matter, Holmes?

01:06:37You hurt?

01:06:38The explanations will have to wait until later, at the moment we're faced with a problem,

01:06:42which I fear is insurmountable.

01:06:44Well, come over here, old boy, will you?

01:06:45Right.

01:06:48Our opponents are in possession of all three parts of the code.

01:06:51And here are we while the Bank of England plates pass into their possession.

01:06:55Well, cheer up, old fellow, cheer up.

01:06:57As Dr. Samuel Johnson once said, there's no problem the mind of man can set that the mind of man cannot solve.

01:07:03Not so.

01:07:04What's that all, fellow?

01:07:05I was just quoting Dr. Samuel Johnson.

01:07:07He said there is no...

01:07:08Thank you, Watson.

01:07:10Hmm?

01:07:13Leaving the front reception room, we come into the main hall, where Dr. Johnson was in the habit of passing through to have his meager meals in the dining room opposite, in company with his friend and biographer, James Boswell.

01:07:28We will now pass up the stairway, which remains in its natural wood finish, just as it was when the good doctor was here.

01:07:37The framed etching on the wall is believed to have been presented to Dr. Johnson by the distinguished painter, Sir Joshua Reynolds.

01:07:45I've been told here that that picture was given in by Mrs. Thrail, and it's definitely not a Reynolds.

01:07:52Is that important, my dear?

01:07:54Oh, I'm sorry.

01:07:56Oh.

01:07:57This way, ladies and gentlemen, please, this way.

01:07:59Move along, children, move along.

01:08:02The secretary's not on this floor.

01:08:04Patience, Hamid.

01:08:05I have a feeling that...

01:08:06My dear Colonel, with Sherlock Holmes out of the way, what could go wrong?

01:08:18And here we have the Garrett Library, in which Dr. Johnson wrote his famous dictionary.

01:08:24And in which you will see also many of the great man's books and other items of interest.

01:08:30Step forward, ladies and gentlemen, please, step forward.

01:08:33Standing in the corner is the secretary, which contains many of the original works by the literary genius.

01:08:39On this table, Dr. Johnson's cat, Hodge, used to sleep while his master worked.

01:08:45A strange thing about this cat, ladies and gentlemen, was its love of oysters.

01:08:50They do say that the dear doctor often went hungry to find the cat that delicacy.

01:08:55What a pity.

01:08:57Now we will visit the green room, which is immediately below us.

01:09:01In which you will see the very bed in which Dr. Johnson died.

01:09:05What did he die of?

01:09:07Gout.

01:09:09Just gout.

01:09:11This way, ladies and gentlemen, mind the steps, please.

01:09:25Your keys.

01:09:27Your keys.

01:09:44Third shelf up.

01:09:46The knife.

01:09:59Gentlemen, the Bank of England plates.

01:10:04Well, Mrs. Courtney, so we meet again.

01:10:08No, I shouldn't do that if I were you, Colonel Kavanagh.

01:10:10I must congratulate you, Mr. Holmes.

01:10:13You're far more clever than I thought.

01:10:17Thank you, Mrs. Courtney.

01:10:19A praise from you is indeed gratifying.

01:10:22I shall always cherish the memory of your flattering words.

01:10:27Memory?

01:10:29Oh, thank you.

01:10:31And now I have a most regrettable task to perform.

01:10:40Holmes!

01:10:42Coming, Holmes!

01:10:45Holmes!

01:10:46You all right?

01:10:47Perfectly, thank you, old fellow.

01:10:48But I think this gentleman on the floor requires some medical attention.

01:10:51We must see that he looks his best, you know, when he's hanged.

01:10:53Take them in charge.

01:11:10A brilliant antagonist.

01:11:14It's a pity her talents were so misdirected.

01:11:17Will you see that these plates are returned to the Bank of England, Inspector?

01:11:20I still don't understand how you solved it, Mr. Holmes.

01:11:22It's entirely due to Dr. Watson.

01:11:25He gave me the clue when he mentioned Dr. Samuel Johnson.

01:11:28Well, congratulations, Doctor.

01:11:29Oh, thank you, Inspector.

01:11:30I don't think I'd have done it entirely without Mr. Holmes' help, you know.
