08:59ALL HER LIFE

09:00BUT SHE'LL BREAK AWAY

09:01NOW

09:02NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO

09:03JANET'S GOING TO

09:04MARRY ME

09:05MR. HIGHWAY

09:07MR. HIGHWAY

09:10MEDICINE

09:11My medicine

09:12in the cupboard

09:13in the next room

09:14I'll get it

09:15Green bottle

09:16I'll shell

09:23I never lose

09:24Mrs. Duggan

09:26I never lose

09:28Oh hurry Mr. Vernon

09:29Please hurry

09:30I'm coming

09:51I feel much better.

09:57Well, there's no need to stare.

10:00I'm all right.

10:02Now get out of here.

10:05Both of you.

10:07Get out.

10:15Get out.

10:23A few minutes later, I left the house.

10:26And that's the last I ever saw of Mr. Haringway.

10:29Alive.

10:30I see.

10:31And what did you tell the police when they questioned you?

10:33You're sure I told them everything, just as it happened.

10:37About the bottle Mr. Vernon took out of his coat pocket, the sudden quarrel, Mr. Haringway's

10:42attack of illness, and Mr. Vernon going to get the medicine.

10:46Had this sufficient to have young Vernon remanded on a charge of murder?

10:50Aye.

10:51For the police informed me that it was the medicine, the very medicine that I saw Mr. Vernon

10:55give Mr. Haringway that killed the poor old man.

10:57They say that poison was put into the medicine.

11:00Yes, but look here.

11:01That certainly seems to point towards the young man.

11:04When he went to obtain the medicine, he apparently slipped in the lethal dose.

11:07It seems that way, sir.

11:09But in me heart, I can't bring myself to believe it of him.

11:13That Inspector Lestrade, though, he won't believe another thing else.

11:16Lestrade, eh?

11:18He's the policeman who seems to be in charge of it all.

11:21Indeed.

11:22Inspector Lestrade, do you hear that, Watson?

11:23We must go around and see him.

11:25Well, if you think it'll help.

11:27Aye.

11:28Then a thousand blessings on the pair of you.

11:31I don't know what we can promise you, Mrs. Dugan.

11:33I shall have to have a word with Mr. Vernon before I can express an opinion on the case.

11:37However, we shall certainly go and see Inspector Lestrade at once.

11:40I'm sure I know it looks dark and all, but I must keep up hope.

11:45Well, I must be off.

11:46I don't like leaving Miss Janet alone for so long.

11:48Naturally, Mrs. Dugan.

11:49Well, we'll certainly do our best.

11:51Thank you, sir.

12:07I can't see any reason for it.

12:09The man is guilty.

12:10Anything you want to know, I can tell you myself.

12:12Oh, come, come, Lestrade.

12:14I only want to ask the young man a few questions.

12:17It's time for my lunch.

12:19You needn't come.

12:21Now, look here, Holmes.

12:22There was a very large dose of strychnine in that medicine.

12:25The only person who could possibly have put it there was young Vernon.

12:28Or Mrs. Dugan?

12:30No, she didn't have any reason to.

12:32Besides, Vernon was a chemist.

12:33He had access to all sorts of poisons.

12:35Indeed, he was a chemist.

12:36You hear that, Watson?

12:37Young Vernon was a chemist.

12:39Hmm?

12:39Eh?

12:40Oh, yes, indeed, Holmes.

12:42Yes, I thought you'd be interested to hear that.

12:45Well, I am indeed.

12:46It is most important.

12:47And I insist upon seeing the young man immediately.

12:49We have no time to lose, Lestrade.

12:50No time to lose.

12:51Oh, all right.

12:52All right.

12:54All right.

12:54I don't see what you could possibly gain from this.

13:01But if you insist, you can see for yourself.

13:03This whole attitude merely supports the evidence.

13:06Well, here we are.

13:08Inspector Lestrade.

13:10Yes, sir.

13:17Well now, Vernon.

13:18Well now, Inspector.

13:20How many times a day are you going to bring me up here and subject me to your idiotic questions?

13:25I've already told you everything I know.

13:27And I'm getting tired of repeating it every half hour so that it'll penetrate your dense brain.

13:31Look here, young man.

13:32That's hardly an attitude to take.

13:34You're charged with the most serious crime.

13:35Indeed, I am.

13:37And since it appears I'm to pay for it, my only regret is that I didn't have the pleasure of committing it.

13:41There's just one point.

13:42I don't know who you are, but you may as well know that I don't wish to answer any of your questions either.

13:46Well, it appears I've talked myself to the gallows and that should be enough.

13:51So good day to the lot of you.

13:53Good day to you, Mr. Vernon, and thank you very much.

13:55You've been most helpful.

14:04President, young rogue.

14:06Oh, very interesting, Lestrade.

14:07Thank you, Lestrade.

14:08Certainly not, Watson.

14:09We have a killer to catch.

14:10Killer?

14:11Yes.

14:12What do you think you were just talking to?

14:15A very furious young man, Lestrade.

14:17But he's as innocent as Dr. Watson, me and you.

14:20Or perhaps not quite as innocent as you.

14:22What can you possibly find to be so amusing?

14:38Oh, I was thinking about Lestrade's face when that young scamp called him an idiot.

14:45Holmes, do you really believe that young man's innocent?

14:48Strychnine, Watson.

14:50Combined with the fact that young Vernon's a chemist.

14:52Tell me, how quickly did a strychnine act?

14:55Oh, a matter of minutes.

14:57Half an hour for most.

14:59Exactly.

15:00He did not know that the house would be empty when he went to visit old Mr. Haringway.

15:03He fully expected that Mrs. Dugan and Janet would be there.

15:06Quite enough.

15:07Mrs. Dugan indicated that.

15:09All right.

15:10Now, would a man with a wide variety of poisons to choose from choose a quick-acting drug,

15:15which offered him no chance of an alibi?

15:17Or would he be more likely to choose something a little slower,

15:20which would allow him ample time to be miles away at the time of death?

15:26Yes, I follow your reasoning, Holmes,

15:29but surely you don't accept that as conclusive.

15:33Oh, I didn't, until I spoke to young Vernon.

15:37But you didn't learn anything, did you?

15:41Ah, here's the mortuary.

15:43Shall we go and have a close look at the victim, Watson?

15:45Holmes asked to see the medical examiner's report,

15:55and as we prepared to enter the mortuary,

15:57he explained his theory that Vernon's violent temper

16:00didn't fit into the cold-blooded pattern of this crime.

16:03Hmm, a particular sort of fellow, our friend Haringway.

16:09Oh, why do you say that?

16:10Well, notice the well-kept hair underneath your trim moustache.

16:13Mm-hmm.

16:16Wasn't so particular about his hands, was he?

16:18What do you mean, Watson?

16:19Well, look, the dirt that's definitely packed in under those nails

16:21has even gone into the cuticles.

16:23Hmm.

16:23I say it's a bit incongruous with this perfect manicuring.

16:27Yes, especially if this hand's absolutely immaculate.

16:31Wait a minute, Watson.

16:32Well, this isn't ordinary dirt.

16:35This is soil.

16:37Well, amateur gardener, perhaps.

16:40Hmm.

16:40These hands never did any gardening.

16:43They display a lifelong devotion to immaculate cleanliness.

16:47And this hand obviously became dirty too near to death

16:50to be cleaned.

16:53Mr. Holmes, here's the report you asked for, sir.

16:56Oh, thank you.

16:58What are you doing your dad for, Holmes?

17:00You know, the cause of death of strychnine.

17:02Oh, this should interest you, Watson.

17:03Listen.

17:04Mm-hmm.

17:04The blood test indicated an extreme leukocytic state,

17:07sufficient to be diagnosed as advanced leukocytemia.

17:12Well, Mrs. Duggan said he was ill, but not to that extent.

17:16Watson, tell me, how long do you estimate

17:18Haringway would have lived

17:20had he not been given that dose of strychnine?

17:23Well, it's difficult to judge with this information,

17:26but I'd say,

17:28well, certainly under a year.

17:30And we are looking for someone

17:32who couldn't afford to wait a year.

17:36An impatient murderer.

17:38Then that fits in with Vernon's violent temperament.

17:42It appears so, Watson.

17:43It appears so.

17:45And yet there's still something missing.

17:48A bottle.

17:49A little mysterious bottle.

17:56Watson, would you go and collect Mrs. Duggan

17:58and take her around to Vernon's apartment?

18:00Ah, yes, of course.

18:04What have you been doing, meantime?

18:05Oh, I'm going over to Vernon's place now.

18:08There are a few things I want to check over before you arrive.

18:11But, ah,

18:13but it's bound to be locked up.

18:14I can get in.

18:16Oh, with a key.

18:18Have you got the key to Vernon's apartment?

18:23I hope so.

18:24We came as quickly as we could.

18:47Thank you, Watson.

18:49Do you think it's proper

18:50bursting into a strange man's apartment like this?

18:52Well, it isn't proper in the least, Mrs. Duggan,

18:54but, ah,

18:55if we're going to help young Vernon,

18:57I'm afraid there's very little choice.

18:59What is it you want me to do?

19:01Do you believe, Mrs. Vernon,

19:02that you could identify the bottle

19:04that he took from his coat pocket

19:05on the day of the murder?

19:07Yes, I think I can.

19:09Good.

19:10Then would you mind examining these

19:11and, ah, take your choice,

19:14if any.

19:22You're certain?

19:35I'm absolutely certain.

19:38Thank you, Mrs. Duggan.

19:40Thank you very much.

19:41Holmes!

19:49It's all right, Watson.

19:50It's quite harmless.

19:51It's oil of cloves.

19:53Oil of cloves?

19:54Mrs. Duggan,

19:54I presume that your employer

19:56was a teetotaler.

19:57Oh, he was that.

19:58There was never a drop

19:59of anything at all in the house.

20:01Hated the stuff he did.

20:02Yes, yes,

20:02but is it important, Holmes?

20:04It's essential

20:05for young Vernon, Watson.

20:07We have now only to visit

20:08Mr. Haringway's study

20:10to forge the final link of proof

20:13against a most amazing murderer.

20:22Really, Miss Haringway,

20:24I hope you realize

20:25that in this case

20:26I find myself

20:27in a particularly difficult position.

20:29But as a police officer,

20:31I have no alternative.

20:33I must follow

20:34the dictates of the law.

20:35But Tom didn't do it.

20:37He couldn't have done it.

20:38It just can't be.

20:40Precisely the opinion

20:41I expressed to you

20:42this morning, Lestrade.

20:44Holmes!

20:47Oh, Miss Janet,

20:48this is Mr. Sherlock Holmes

20:50and this here gentleman's

20:51Dr. Watson, his friend.

20:53It is because of me

20:54that they're here.

20:54If you see,

20:55I went to them begging

20:56for the help.

20:57Help?

20:58It was your fiancé's arrest

20:59that prompted Mrs. Duggan,

21:01I believe.

21:02I see.

21:02Sit down.

21:03Sit down, please.

21:04Well, really, Holmes.

21:06Why do you persist in this?

21:08I've always had

21:09the greatest respect

21:09for your ability,

21:10but in this case,

21:12well, you astound me.

21:14Oh, now, now.

21:14Come along, Miss Dredd.

21:16Well, it's true.

21:17Vernon had access to poison.

21:19He was here

21:20when it was taken.

21:21And above all,

21:22look at the motive.

21:23Just look at the motive.

21:25Who else had such a motive?

21:26Who else?

21:28Inspector,

21:28you didn't know

21:30my stepfather.

21:31He was a tyrant

21:32who loved nothing,

21:33no one.

21:34His whole ambition

21:35was power,

21:36and his whole pleasure

21:37was to rule.

21:39To my stepfather,

21:40my marriage meant

21:41only a loss of power,

21:43part of his kingdom,

21:44and he fought it

21:45in every way.

21:47Life here became

21:48unbearable

21:48after I met Tom.

21:50Mrs. Duggan

21:50can testify to that.

21:52Well, it is true

21:53he was not a kindly man,

21:54and he did begin

21:56to get a bit odd

21:57of late.

21:58I see.

21:59There were some flowers

22:01in this room.

22:02Where are they?

22:03Flowers, sir.

22:05Holmes!

22:07Now he's interested

22:08in flowers.

22:11Petunias, perhaps?

22:12Mrs. Duggan?

22:14Why, sir,

22:14I put them out in the yard

22:15to get a bit of sunlight, sir.

22:17So dark it wasn't here.

22:19Then there were some flowers.

22:21Mrs. Duggan,

22:21would you be kind enough

22:22to fetch them, please?

22:24Yes, sir.

22:25Holmes,

22:26what have flowers

22:27got to do with...

22:28Watch.

22:29You know, Inspector,

22:30your difficulties

22:31in this case

22:32really must be overlooked.

22:34Do you know

22:35that you've been

22:35deliberately duped?

22:37And very cleverly,

22:38I might add.

22:39I haven't been duped at all.

22:41I've got my man.

22:43Now, you see,

22:43you were looking

22:44for a murderer,

22:45whereas, of course,

22:46there isn't one.

22:48First, it's Petunias.

22:49Now there's no murder.

22:51There's a body,

22:53but no murder.

22:55You see,

22:55Mr. Haringway

22:56committed suicide.

22:58There was no indication

23:00of suicide whatsoever.

23:01No message, nothing.

23:03Well, naturally,

23:04there was no indication

23:04of suicide

23:05because it was deliberately

23:06planned to look like murder.

23:08Are you serious?

23:10Completely,

23:10Miss Haringway.

23:12You see,

23:12your stepfather

23:13was more of a tyrant

23:14than you imagine.

23:16Losing you to Vernon

23:17meant losing power.

23:19And so, first of all,

23:19he tried to bully him.

23:21Then he tried

23:22to bribe him.

23:23And when that failed,

23:24he tried to kill him.

23:26Mr. Haringway

23:27tried to kill Vernon?

23:29Yes, Watson.

23:30By committing suicide

23:31in such a way

23:32that Vernon would be blamed

23:34and executed

23:34for Haringway's death.

23:36The stage was set,

23:37the heart attack

23:38was feigned,

23:40and Vernon was sent

23:41to get the medicine.

23:42If Haringway

23:43took the poison himself,

23:44where did he hide

23:45the bottle?

23:47Of course,

23:47that's right.

23:48The poison acted

23:49too fast for him

23:50to dispose of the container.

23:52But he did dispose

23:53of the container, Watson.

23:54And if my theory

23:55is correct,

23:56it should be

23:57in one of the two

23:58flower pots

23:58that Mrs. Dugan

23:59is holding.

24:11And a chemical analysis

24:13will reveal

24:14that it contains

24:15strychnine.

24:17The dirt

24:18under the fingernails.

24:20Exactly, Watson.

24:21And you said

24:22it got there

24:22close to the time of death?

24:24Then Haringway

24:25committed suicide.

24:27Yes, Lestrade.

24:29And Tom is innocent.

24:31Good.

24:32Good.

24:34Simple.

24:36Completely.

24:39Holmes,

24:40you never did explain

24:42to me what the

24:42oil of clothes

24:44was for.

24:45Oh, you mean

24:45the mysterious

24:46little bottle

24:47that Vernon removed

24:47from his coat pocket?

24:48Yes, ma'am.

24:49Oh, it's really

24:50quite simple, you know.

24:51You see,

24:51Vernon stopped

24:52at the pub

24:52for a few stiff whiskies

24:53to brace himself

24:55for his interview

24:55with Haringway.

24:56But the old man

24:57was violently opposed

24:58to the use of alcohol.

25:00So he had to do something

25:01to remove the evidence

25:01from his breath.

25:03Oil of clothes

25:04is quite common

25:05for that purpose.

25:06Ah, I see.

25:07Tea?

25:08No, no, no.

25:09None for me.

25:10No, I've had some before.

25:12My digestion

25:12is not quite up to it.

25:14Your digestion?

25:15Yes, I forgot

25:17and mixed our tea

25:19with some of that

25:20rare Egyptian poison.

25:21But, but confounded, man.

25:29The tea's ruined.

25:31Oh, fair enough, old man.

25:32But there's my poison.
