00:00I'm afraid that, that is not clear to me, Miss Morstan. I can only tell you my father's
00:13instructions concerning it. My, my treatments are poor. Morstan's awful. The, the, the greed,
00:30the cursed greed that has been my besetting sin throughout my life, has, has robbed her of the treasure, half of which, at least, should be hers. You see that chaplet, there, on the crinine bottle, I, at the design of, of sending it to
00:59her. But, I could not bear, to part with them. You, my sons, will see that Miss Morstan gets, her share, of the treasure. Hmm? Pass. The treasure, is, is, is.
01:26Get him away! For Christ's sake, get him away!
01:38We ran to the window and out into the garden, but the intruder was gone. My father was dead. We soon had more striking proof that there were secret agencies at work all around us. The next day, my father's bedroom was broken into, and this was fixed to his chest.
02:05Remarkable. It is the sick symbol for the numero four. What the paper means, and who our secret visitor or visitors were, we, we never found out.
02:12My, my, my, my brother and I were much excited, as you can imagine, of the treasure my father had spoken, but try as we might, we couldn't find it. It was maddening to think that the hiding place was on his very
02:19lips when he, when he died. When he died. We could judge the splendor of the riches by the
02:24chaplet that he had taken out by the chaplet that he had taken out. The pearls were evidently of great value. And, uh, my brother and I were much excited, as you can imagine, of the treasure my father had spoken, but try as we might, we couldn't find it.
02:39It was maddening to think that the hiding place was on his very lips when he, uh, when he died. We could, uh, judge the splendor of the riches by the chaplet that he had taken out. The pearls were evidently of great value.
02:52And, uh, my brother was, um, averse to part with them, um, for, uh, between friends, he was, uh, a little inclined, uh, to my father's fault. And it was, all I could do was to persuade him to allow me to send Miss Morstan, uh, a detached pearl at regular intervals so that she would not feel destitute.
03:14It was a kindly thought. It was very good of you.
03:20Oh, well, um, we were your trustees. That was the way I looked at it, although my brother did not altogether see it in that light. We had plenty of money ourselves. It would have been in, uh, such bad taste to have treated a young lady in so scurvy a fashion.
03:42Yesterday, an event of extreme importance occurred.
03:54We found the treasure. Hence my instant communication to you, Miss Morstan. Now, all we have to do is to drive to Norwood...
04:06And claim our share. We shall be, uh, expected, if not entirely welcome, uh, visitors.
04:20You have done well, from first to last, Mr. Shelter.
04:27My health is, uh, somewhat fragile.
04:31I am compelled to be, uh, a valid Judenarian.
04:36We have dug up every inch of the garden without discovering anything.
04:55Brother Bartholomew is such a clever fellow.
05:01Do you know how he found out where the treasure was?
05:05Tell me.
05:06He made measurements everywhere.
05:09All along the top.
05:10Along the side.
05:11Inside.
05:12And he found out he was four foot out.
05:15At the top.
05:16We found our father had made a false room.
05:19And...
05:20And...
05:21And...
05:22So he smashed through the...
05:23The lath and the plaster.
05:24And...
05:25And...
05:26And there was the...
05:27The treasure chest lying across the...
05:29The rafters.
05:31He has computed...
05:32The value of the treasure...
05:34To be more than one half million sterling.
05:41So, Mrs. Burnstone...
05:43Mrs. Burnstone's the only lady in the house.
05:46Um...
05:47We've here.
05:58Oh...
05:59Oh...
06:00Mr. Thaddeus.
06:01I'm so glad you've come.
06:03I'm so glad you've come, sir.
06:10What a strange place.
06:12Oh...
06:14Looks as if all the moles in England have been let loose in it.
06:17Oh...
06:20There's...
06:21Something...
06:22I miss with Batholome.
06:23Into the house!
06:24I frighten.
06:25My nurse won't stare.
06:38Oh...
06:39What a sweet, calm face.
06:41Oh...
06:42But I've been sorely tried this day.
06:45I'm Mrs. Burnstone.
06:47Mr. Bartholomew shut himself in his room...
06:49And I can't get a word out of him.
06:52His bed hasn't been slept in.
06:54And he hasn't been down for any food.
06:57I dare not disturb him at his work.
06:59You know what he's like when it's at his work.
07:02Look after him, Miss Mulstead.
07:03I've lost him.
07:11Now do try to calm down.
07:12Look, I'm sure everything will be all right.
07:14I do hope you're all right, Miss.
07:16Sit now, baby.
07:26Come on.
07:27Come on.
07:28Come on.
07:33Come on.
07:39Which is the door?
07:40No, no, no.
08:03There's something devilish in this, Watson.
08:04There's something devilish in this, Watson.
08:33There's something devilish in this, Watson.
08:34No, no.
08:35No, no, no, no.
08:36No, no, no, no.
08:37the sign of four again what in god's name does it mean it means murder
09:01we brought the treasure down there last night and we put it there
09:08now it's gone what time is that
09:13I don't know six or seven o'clock I heard him lock the door after I left
09:25must have been the last person to see him alive and now he's dead
09:33nothing I didn't think it was me I wouldn't why I wouldn't have asked you
09:44now gently gently gentlemen Mr. Shelton I suggest that you go down to the police station
09:50and tell them everything that you know we shall wait here until you return
09:53Holmes look at this careful forgive me it's
09:59poisoned huh well Watson we have a little time let's make the most of it this is
10:06an insoluble mystery to me it grows darker instead of clearer no no no no it clears
10:11every instant I only required a few missing links to have an entirely
10:13connected case simple as the case seems now there may be something deeper
10:18underlying it now how did these people come and how did they go people well it
10:24takes more than one perhaps more than two to remove a heavy treasure chest of a
10:28place like this the door has not been open since last night so how about these
10:33windows
10:34snipped on the inside hinges that roof quite out of reach no drain right near and yet someone has entered
10:50it this way look Watson that scuff on the sill
10:54and this and this this is a very pretty demonstration but that that's not a footmark
11:10something much more valuable to us this is mark of a boot and this and this the mark of the timber
11:18toe he's just a wooden legged man and someone else a very able and efficient ally could you scale that wall
11:29absolutely impossible I hated it so but suppose you had a friend who lowered you this good stout rope securing it first to this ring I think if you were an active man
11:51you'd be able to swarm up wooden leg at all you would depart of course in the same
11:57fashion and then your friend would pull up the rope close the window
