00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00Bilberry La Bramble
01:13Bilger's Bay
01:15Bimming Mary Magna
01:17Binster
01:18Binge
01:19Great Binge and Lesser Binge
01:21Amazing
01:23What's amazing?
01:25The names of our English villages, Watson
01:27What foreigner reading these
01:29Could ever think of us as stiff and sober
01:31Minded people
01:32Bippery Cross
01:34Burrow Crags
01:35Bird Cherry Brook and Birding Peace Place
01:38Burlston Junction
01:40When do we go?
01:43Go where?
01:45To Burlston Manor
01:47Burlston
01:48Sussex
01:49Whatever led you to believe
01:52That I'm interested in Sussex
01:53Burlston
01:54Or Burlston Manor
01:55So don't you saw the account
01:57Of the rather gruesome murder of Squire
02:00John Douglas
02:01Quite so
02:02The case has interesting features
02:04But at the moment
02:05I'm more interested in the
02:07Fly fishing possibilities
02:09In the neighbourhood of Burlston
02:10Ah
02:11That would be the Arran
02:12Runs within two or three miles of the manor house
02:14Hmm
02:15What manor house?
02:18Burlston
02:19The home of the late Squire Douglas
02:22Oh yes, yes, I remember
02:25I believe he was quite a fisherman
02:26The moat is forty feet wide
02:30Forty feet wide
02:33Well, well
02:34Good lord
02:36He could probably fish from his bedroom window
02:38And when the drawbridge is raised
02:40The place becomes an island
02:42Four hours after the bridge is raised
02:44The body of Squire Douglas
02:46Is found in his study
02:47With half his head blown off
02:49That should appeal to you
02:51Hmm
02:52Fishing seems a safe business by comparison
02:54Do you row a boat?
02:57A boat?
02:58For fly fishing?
03:01Have you ever fished before?
03:04Does this look like the equipment of an amateur?
03:06Ha ha ha
03:08Odd word
03:09Which?
03:12Equipment
03:13All the fishermen I've ever known
03:15Talk about their tackle
03:16What do you deduce from that, Holmes?
03:20Obvious
03:21Your fishing friends either lack experience or vocabulary
03:24We deep sea fishermen
03:26Are in the equipment class
03:28None of your nasty little bundles
03:30Yes, that gaff is far more suitable
03:33For a shark than a trout
03:34Do you really think so?
03:36No good for trout
03:37Well, depends what trout you're after
03:41Oh
03:41Oh, yes
03:42Well, we must carry a tape measure
03:46A tape measure?
03:47What on earth for?
03:48To measure our catch, of course
03:50To measure our catch
03:51And throw back the little ones
03:53A good rule in life, Watson
03:55Always remember
03:56To throw back the little ones
03:58Do you think our prey will count as a big one or a little one?
04:04Well, hardly as big as Squire Douglas
04:06Lying dead in his castle, surrounded by his moat
04:09Holmes
04:10You've been analysing this case
04:13Well, you know, I haven't got enough data yet for analysis, really
04:16Do you think it could be an accident?
04:18What, with a sawn or shotgun?
04:20And the triggers of both barrels wired together?
04:23Murder, eh?
04:24Yes, possibly
04:25What do you mean by possibly?
04:28Don't sit there, man
04:29That may be opportunity knocking
04:31Oh, yes, Dad
04:32Come in
04:37Mr. Shrop
04:53Oh
04:54The fisherman
04:56Hold on
05:00Oh, come on
05:01Blowing me
05:02Oh, wow
05:03In there, boy
05:04Hmm
05:07There's only a little one
05:08Would you like it, Watson?
05:24We'd appreciate your view
05:26Intriguing affair
05:28Wellstone Manor
05:30Signed
05:32Inspector MacLeod
05:34Ha!
05:35Police English
05:35For I'm utterly baffled
05:37Oh
05:37Where is it?
05:38Where's what?
05:39Well, the tape measure, of course
05:40Where is that tape measure?
05:43Hold on the fiddle keys together, sir
05:45Fiddle?
05:47Violin case, boy
05:49Oh, tell me, Watson
05:52How are we off for trains?
05:55Trains?
05:55Ah, yes
05:56Now, let me see
05:57Burlston
05:58Yes, now
06:00That would be
06:01The West Sussex
06:02Little Hampton
06:03Bognor line
06:04Now, there's a 10-15
06:05Now, that doesn't stop
06:06Of course
06:07It's a 12-3
06:08That would get us in
06:10At 4-2
06:10Or 4-7
06:11I say I'd forgotten, actually
06:14What do you mean to say
06:15You can't remember
06:15Whether it's 4-2 or 4-7
06:16Come, Watson
06:17You're slipping
06:17Blimey
06:19Does it keep all the time
06:21Trains in his head?
06:23Where else, of course
06:23We are a nation
06:25Of railway pioneers, my boy
06:26Like a great many
06:27Englishmen before him
06:28Dr. Watson
06:29Restricts his reading
06:30To the Bible
06:31The Times
06:32And Bradshaw's
06:33Railway Guide
06:34To the British Isles
06:35Here, boy
06:38Man of the March hares
06:44That's what you two are
06:45I say, Watson
06:56Have you seen my
06:57Weekend bag anywhere?
06:58I suspect it's under
06:59The stairs
07:00Mrs. Hudson
07:00You're very tired
07:01Of seeing it lying about
07:02Oh, good
07:03Well, that means
07:03It hasn't been unpacked
07:04Anyway
07:04I assume not
07:05Excellent
07:06Then everything is ready
07:07Oh, be a good fellow
07:09Would you
07:09And dig out that bag
07:11And put it in the cab
07:12Along with that
07:13Tackle
07:14Why, aren't you
07:16Going to be here?
07:17I have a little reading
07:18To do
07:19Pick me up
07:19At the British Museum
07:20Library
07:21Say half an hour
07:21Before the train leaves
07:22Now look here, Holmes
07:24There's no time
07:24To go reading
07:25You'll miss the train
07:26I cannot vouch
07:28For the punctuality
07:29Of Dr. Watson
07:30Or the reliability
07:31Of the company's
07:32Steam engines
07:32But I, for one
07:33Repose to be
07:34At Bolston Holt
07:35At 4.2pm
07:36Precisely
07:37Or is it for certain
07:46It was a nice piece of work
08:03If I say so myself
08:04The entire story hung
08:07On a spider's thread
08:09A spider's thread
08:11Exactly
08:11Ah, sounds interesting, Inspector
08:13Now perhaps you'll start
08:14At the beginning
08:15Simply stated
08:16The castle, as you'll see
08:18Has a moat
08:20And when it's up
08:22As it was at the time
08:23Of the murder
08:24It's a sealed fortress
08:26Who was in the castle
08:28At the time of the crime?
08:29The murdered man's wife
08:30Mrs. Douglas
08:31And a foreign friend
08:33John Morell
08:34Just those two?
08:36And the servants
08:37But we've been able
08:38To rule them out
08:39Completely
08:39Hmm
08:40And from your description
08:41Of the house
08:42It would have to be
08:42One of them
08:43Either Mrs. Douglas
08:44Or this friend of hers
08:45Morell
08:46Or both of them
08:48They tried to make it
08:50Appear
08:50As though someone
08:51Had broken into the house
08:52And then dived
08:53Through the windows
08:54To swim the moat
08:55But you disproved it
08:56Completely
08:57How?
08:59I'll tell you
09:00When we get there
09:01This murder weapon
09:04A Sornorp shotgun
09:06I believe
09:07An odd weapon
09:08That
09:08And a foreign gun too
09:10Three letters
09:11On the barrel
09:11P-E-N
09:13Ah
09:13A larger P
09:15With a flourish
09:16Overly
09:17Followed by a smaller
09:18E and N
09:18That's right
09:19Ah
09:20The Pennsylvania
09:20Small Arms Company
09:21The famous American firm
09:23That's perfect
09:24That's all I need
09:26You mean you need
09:27Additional evidence
09:27Well Mr. Holmes
09:29Every little helps
09:31You know
09:32Then your case against
09:33Morell is not complete
09:34It's complete as far as
09:37How did you know
09:38Morell is the murderer
09:39How did you know
09:41He has to be
09:44Why?
09:45He's the only one
09:46Who could be
09:47Suppose I were to tell you
09:49That Morell is not your murderer
09:52How do you know
09:53Yes Holmes
09:54How do you know
09:55Why didn't you arrest him
09:57Well I
09:58He doesn't act
10:01Like a murderer
10:02Ah
10:03He's too self confident
10:05Hey
10:05That's right
10:06Seems to be daring him
10:08To arrest him
10:09Yes
10:10How do you know all this
10:12Holmes
10:13Do you know this man Morell
10:15Fascinating
10:17Fascinating
10:18The case has suddenly assumed
10:20The most astounding proportions
10:21And the most astonishing challenge
10:23Watson
10:24That's one of the period
10:37Yes it is lovely isn't it
10:39What did you mean Mr. Holmes
10:41Nothing
10:41I just think it's a lovely building
10:43No I mean when you said
10:44That Morell didn't murder Mr. Douglas
10:46Oh that
10:47Yes what did you mean
10:48How do you know he didn't do it
10:50Well if he didn't do it
10:51She did
10:52You're jumping again McLeod
10:53You're jumping
10:54But it has to be one or the other
10:56Does it really
10:57What's he talking about
11:00Well don't you know
11:01No I don't know
11:02If two people are in a sealed house
11:04With a murdered man
11:05One of them has to be a murderer
11:08That's common sense
11:10Ah but is it logical
11:11What do you mean is it logical
11:13I don't know but Holmes says that all the time
11:15I was hoping you might be able to tell me
11:17He hasn't been moved
11:33That's just the way we found him last night
11:35Watson
11:36Of course death was instantaneous
11:38I should say sir
11:40The charge was not fired directly into the face
11:43As the newspapers account have it
11:44Uh huh
11:45I'd say the blast came from below
11:47And that the gun was almost vertical
11:48Excellent Watson
11:50Excellent
11:50May I see this shotgun McLeod
11:52Holmes look at this
11:55Good Lord
11:55Wait it's a brand like cattle
11:58Well how old would you say it was
12:00Have you got your glass there
12:02Yes
12:02Thank you
12:04It's very difficult to estimate
12:07Marking like this Holmes
12:08But I'd say it's
12:09Well it's over 15 years
12:1120
12:12Mr. Morrell
12:16At your service Mr. Holmes
12:18Dr. Watson
12:20News travels quickly
12:24This is a small village
12:26You said 20 years
12:29Yes
12:29The same age as
12:31This
12:33It stands for the missile valley
12:38Arizona
12:39Gold claim number 341
12:42That is where John and I met 20 years ago
12:46There were three of us
12:49We registered the claim
12:51Worked it
12:53And then sold it
12:54We divided the money in thirds
12:57And went our different ways
12:58Two years ago I looked John up here
13:02And stayed on
13:03I liked it
13:04And the third partner
13:06He lost his money
13:09I believe his mind
13:10He came to believe that we had cheated him
13:12And he swore to kill us 10 years ago
13:15Why didn't he?
13:18He couldn't find us
13:20No we didn't have the same names at that time
13:24Do you think your old partner
13:27Could have done
13:28That?
13:31I don't know Mr. Holmes
13:32I am not
13:33The detective
13:34True
13:37True
13:37Well we must bear that in mind
13:40You tried to make it appear
13:43As though another man had been here
13:45And went out through the window
13:46Did I?
13:49He tried to build an elaborate story
13:51A man of his size
13:52Was seen passing through the village
13:54Wearing a loud tweed top coat
13:56And a wide brimmed hat
13:57He was heading this way
13:59On the window ledge
14:01There is a footprint in blood
14:03Indicating of course
14:05That the murderer dived through the window
14:07And swam the moat
14:08But he didn't
14:10How do you know?
14:13Because Mr. Morell
14:15Outside that window
14:16And just a few feet down
14:18Is a very large
14:19And at least a month old
14:21Spider's web
14:22Anyone jumping
14:24Or diving through the window
14:27Would have to pass through the web
14:28And no one did
14:30Well done, McLeod
14:34Well done
14:35As part as web
14:37The English police
14:40Have the most amazing allies
14:41I must say
14:42Now that you have made your deductions
14:45Mr. McLeod
14:46Exactly what do they mean to me?
14:49For the moment nothing
14:50But I suggest you do not leave
14:54The castle grounds
14:55And if I try to live
14:57Well done, McLeod
15:12You've certainly got your man
15:14But I'm not rushing in
15:16To make any arrest
15:17I'm going to make sure
15:19The case is ironcast
15:21Oh, very wise
15:23And what's the motive?
15:25Revenge for the Miss Valley affair?
15:27I've got to go a bit careful there, Doctor
15:29If you ask me
15:31It's a case of
15:32Cherche la woman
15:35Oh, what's he?
15:38Is he a Douglas?
15:39Well, you know how these things are, Doctor
15:41Between us, men of the world
15:43We know how a situation like this can
15:45Oh, of course
15:46Of course
15:47Of course
15:49Delicate situation, though
15:52Delicate?
15:53Yes, delicate
15:53Might, um, almost be called the
15:58Case of the other man
16:00The other dumbbell
16:11Who?
16:13Not who, what?
16:15What?
16:16That's right, what?
16:17What are you talking about?
16:19That
16:19There's only one dumbbell
16:23One dumbbell?
16:25That's right
16:25Well?
16:26There's only one dumbbell, what?
16:30I know
16:31That's it over there
16:32Yes
16:34Where's the other one?
16:36Well, I don't know
16:36I've only just come here
16:38Do you know where the other one is?
16:39What difference does it make?
16:41Well, that's right, yes
16:41What difference does it make?
16:43Maybe there is only one
16:44Dumb...
16:44Bell...
16:46Dumbbell
16:46One dumbbell
16:47But they come in twos
16:50Perhaps he only had one
16:52What's it doing to tell me
16:55That you can stand there
16:57Surrounded by all these athletic trophies
16:59And suggest to me that such a man
17:02Would only use one dumbbell
17:04Well, what difference does it make?
17:07Yes
17:08What difference does it make?
17:09Well
17:10Well, if you two are convinced
17:13That you can solve the case
17:15With the aid of a convenient spider
17:17I'm going fishing
17:19You're what?
17:20Oh, he's going fishing
17:21He's brought his tackle
17:23Why?
17:24To catch fish
17:25Then I take it you're satisfied
17:28With my analysis of the crime
17:30Find the dumbbell
17:33Hang the dumbbell
17:35You can't hang him
17:37Until you find him
17:38Who?
17:38The man who took the dumbbell
17:41You've gone too far now, Holmes
17:49I think you've made him very angry
17:51Then he should fish
17:53It soothes the nerves
17:55Are you really going to fish?
17:56I am
17:56Where?
17:57Out of that window
17:58It looks very comfortable
17:59Well, what do you expect to catch?
18:01A herring
18:02A red herring
18:04May I have the tape measure, Watson?
18:07To measure a red herring?
18:09To measure the big red herrings
18:10The little ones I plan to throw back
18:12Holmes, you're up to something
18:15I am
18:16What?
18:17Would you like to help?
18:18Of course
18:19Well, look
18:19Take the good inspector
18:21Down to the local pub
18:22And keep him there
18:23For at least an hour
18:24While you fish for red herring
18:25At the moment
18:26I'm fishing for bait
18:28I don't know what you're talking about
18:30But I'll do it
18:30Good
18:31Remember
18:32One hour
18:34And then join yourself in the local
18:37And stay too
18:38Ha ha
18:58He's a strange one, that, Holmes
19:12What do you think he's been doing?
19:14There's no guessing with him
19:15For all we know
19:17He may really have been fishing
19:18Perhaps we should have given him more time
19:20He's been an hour
19:22That's all he asked for
19:23Yes, that's right, nun
19:24Inspector MacLeod
19:26Hello, Sergeant
19:32Have you seen Mr. Holmes?
19:34I certainly have, sir
19:35What's wrong?
19:37You know the staircase in that room?
19:40Huh?
19:41Mr. Holmes was sliding down them banisters
19:44He was what?
19:47That's right, sir
19:48Sliding down the banisters he was
19:51Well, well, he was probably
19:53Investigating something
19:55Probably
19:57Well, let's ask him
19:59There must be some reason behind it
20:00Good afternoon, gentlemen
20:02Go on
20:10Ask him
20:12Ask me what?
20:15Well?
20:15What have you been doing
20:17While we were away?
20:18Well, first I fished
20:20Oh?
20:21And then I slid down the banisters
20:23I told you
20:24Why?
20:26Why not?
20:28Well
20:29And you, Inspector MacLeod
20:30Are going to drain the moat
20:31I'm going to what?
20:35Drain the moat
20:36Empty it right down to the bottom
20:38I can't do that
20:40That's a major engineering job
20:42Don't you realise
20:43That's a real river
20:44That runs round the house?
20:46Well
20:47In that case
20:48Don't drain the moat
20:49But tell everyone
20:50You're going to
20:51And then what?
20:53Then we'll all meet back here
20:55In an hour's time
20:56And see if we can find somebody
20:59Pulling something out of the moat
21:01Exactly
21:01What?
21:04Red herrings
21:05As mad as a marked chair
21:11How much longer?
21:28Not much
21:29You're certain everyone believes
21:30They're going to drain the moat?
21:31I don't know who believes it
21:33But everyone knows I said it
21:34Do you think someone will come to the murder room?
21:37Someone has been in it for some time
21:38How do you know?
21:39The lights are out
21:40Because I left them on
21:41Hmm?
21:42Look
21:43What?
21:44That's it
21:44Let's go
21:45Ah, excuse me
22:03What are you using for bait?
22:04I wouldn't mind holding this
22:11Thank you
22:13What clothes did you say the stranger was wearing McLeod?
22:18A loud tweed topcoat and a white brimmed hat
22:20Like these?
22:26The dumbbell
22:27Holmes, how did you know?
22:29When you're working near water, Watson
22:32And a heavy object has disappeared
22:34You may conclude
22:35Until you can prove otherwise
22:36That it has been used to prevent some object from rising to the surface
22:40All right, Morrell
22:42You're under arrest for the murder of John Douglas
22:45It is my duty to warn you
22:47That anything you say may be taken down
22:49And used in evidence
22:50No, no, no, McLeod
22:52You haven't got it at all
22:54What?
22:55This gentleman didn't kill John Douglas
22:58Because John Douglas isn't dead
23:00He isn't what?
23:03Dead
23:03The man whose body you discovered in here
23:06Is the very man who came back to
23:07No
23:09No, you're not with me, are you, McLeod?
23:13Now, would you tell him, please?
23:16These clothes belong to our third partner
23:18The man who's been searching for you for ten years
23:22Yes
23:22He found us and arrived here with a shotgun
23:25He and John struggled and the shot went off
23:29That explains the vertical angle of the blast
23:32In the ensuing struggle, the gun went off
23:34I heard the report and ran down immediately
23:37I timed it from your room
23:40Fifteen seconds if you run
23:41And ten seconds if you slide down the banisters
23:43I ran
23:46I thought you would
23:48John was panic-stricken when he saw what he had done
23:51I got the idea to change their identities
23:55But then where is Douglas?
23:58With the aid of my tape measure, I was able to ascertain that there is a hollow space behind that wall
24:04I imagine it conceals a passage under the moat
24:07Yes, Mr. Holmes
24:08It does
24:09And John has had a 36-hour head start
24:12We'll stop him
24:14I told him you would
24:16I'll issue orders for the apprehension of Mr. Douglas
24:19And we'll talk about your part in this, sir, in the morning
24:22You have conspired to conceal evidence
24:27I'll still be here in the morning, Inspector
24:30A very brilliant piece of deductions, Mr. Holmes
24:42An excellent application of applied psychology
24:46I haven't been tricked many times in my life
24:51You must remember that
24:53The next time you've become involved with murder
24:55And you can now continue your fishing in a more normal manner
24:58Fishing?
25:00No, I don't care for the drill
25:02Unless it's deep sea, of course
25:06Yes, yes, yes
25:09But in the absence of an ocean in the immediate vicinity
25:12I think we'd better start back
25:14Well, now, there's a 913 or a 1023
25:18The 1023 will hold us up at Turnbridge quite a while
25:21Thank you, Mr. Holmes
25:27Ah, not at all, not at all
25:48The 1023 will hold us up at the end
25:49THE END
26:19THE END
