00:00The End
00:30Mr. Holmes!
01:00Mr. Holmes!
01:03Mr. Holmes!
01:30Mr. Holmes!
01:46Oh, may the saints above see fit that he comes back in time.
02:16Watson, look. Holmes, where'd you get that wallet? It's not yours, is it? Oh, no, it isn't. But would you believe me if I told you I lifted it from a pickpocket? No. You what? Yes. He lifted it from that gentleman over there, and as he passed me in full flight, I lifted it from him. Well, don't you think it'd be good to give it back to the owner before he leaves? Ah, better than that. I'll place it back to the owner.
02:46I'll place it back in his pocket without him even being aware that it was taken in the first place. Oh, Holmes. Ah, but this is far harder than lifting a wallet and requires diligent training. Now, watch me closely, Watson.
02:57Oh, policeman! Police! Hey, Watson! Watson! Hold on, Tom! I'll help the police! Hey, Watson! Hey, Watson! Police! Police! Hey, Watson! Hold on!
03:19Sure.
03:20Help me, buddy!
03:21Buddy!
03:22Hold on!
03:23Sure.
03:28We're very lucky.
03:29If the stranger hadn't come into the office at that moment, you'd still be imprisoned.
03:31Well, I got it and so it went wrong.
03:33Probably a little more practice was all I needed.
03:36I suppose you haven't considered the other alternative.
03:39Behaving like a perfectly sane, normal human being.
03:42Still going absolutely mad all over the...
03:45Watch on, eh?
03:46Well, who is he?
03:50An Irishman by the colour of his shirt and the shamrock in his buttonhole.
03:54I'd also conclude that he was a typesetter by the ink-stained condition of his fingernails.
03:59Look, Holmes, that's neither here nor there.
04:01The man is in our flat.
04:02Do you know him?
04:03I've never clapped eyes on him before in me life.
04:05Hey!
04:06Hey!
04:07I don't like to disturb you, but...
04:12Hey, what time is it?
04:16Four o'clock.
04:17Oh, good.
04:18We've still got eight hours.
04:19Look, if you're a human being at all, you'll be helping me, Mr. Holmes.
04:22My name is Watson.
04:24Oh.
04:25There's Mr. Holmes.
04:26Mr. Holmes, my name's Brian O'Casey.
04:28A man of propriety, poor as I am.
04:30Oh, Mother, forgive me.
04:31I wouldn't be breaking in here this way at all.
04:34Only I'm the most desperate of men.
04:36Yes, yes.
04:37So I gather from your note, Mr. O'Casey, you obviously shoved it under the door, ran away, and then returned, fearing I might have overlooked it, eh?
04:42Oh, well, the cat might have run off with it.
04:44Or a wee mouse.
04:45Oh, we haven't got a wee mouse here.
04:47Oh, well, you know what I mean.
04:49I didn't want to be missing you.
04:51Not with 8,000 pounds at stake.
04:53So I came back here and I let myself in so that I'd be waiting for you.
04:57Yes, well, that's most understandable, Mr. O'Casey.
04:59Now, perhaps you'd like to sit down and have a rest.
05:01Oh, thank you very much.
05:03Do you know something?
05:05My heart's beating like a trip hammer.
05:07Yes, I expect it is.
05:09You were saying something about 8,000 pounds.
05:14Well, that's the amount that's due to me.
05:16But unless I can get hold of Mr. Snowby midnight tonight, I'll not get a penny of it.
05:20Who is this man, Snow?
05:23Well, he's the man who's holding the last third of this ticket, you see.
05:27He's holding numbers three and four.
05:29And without these, we can't...
05:30Just a minute, Mr. O'Casey.
05:32Uh, I realize that time is of the essence, and I should very much like to help you indeed.
05:37But perhaps you'll be good enough to, uh, start and tell your story right from the beginning.
05:42Oh.
05:43Yes, of course.
05:45But...
05:48Where does it begin?
05:51Now, perhaps it begins with this terrible feeling of homesickness I have.
06:00It came on me all of a sudden, and it got worse and worse until...
06:05I couldn't look at anything that didn't remind me of my home in County Killarney.
06:11Well, anyway, I was walking along this lunchtime, and I saw this woman, Belle Rogers.
06:18And, well, you might have seen her yourself.
06:20In the Marylebone Road.
06:22May the saints punish me if I'm lying.
06:24She didn't know me at all.
06:26But she smiled at me.
06:28I wasn't taught to be a fool.
06:30I lit off as fast as me feet could carry me.
06:33Another glass of stove, would you please?
06:34Uh.
06:35Uh.
06:36Uh.
06:37Uh.
06:38Uh.
06:39Uh.
06:40Uh.
06:41Uh.
06:42Uh.
06:43Uh.
06:44Uh.
06:45Uh.
06:46Uh.
06:47Uh.
06:48Uh.
06:49Uh.
06:50Uh.
06:51Uh!
06:52Uh.
06:54Uh.
07:00Bryan Malc Gratzen.
07:05I saw you in front of the bakery shop just now.
07:07Would you got away before I could get your attention?
07:09Oh, hurry, Albert.
07:10What was the big rush?
07:11Oh, I'm telling you, Albert, a man has to look out for himself in this city.
07:13What do you mean?
07:15Look, as plain as I'm standing here, she smiled at me, right out in public.
07:18Who?
07:19That's Irene in the bakery winter.
07:21No.
07:29Twice.
07:30What's the name?
07:31Well, how the devil would I be after knowing that?
07:34You mean you didn't find out?
07:35Well, can't you see, man, that's exactly what she wanted me to do?
07:38Well, I find good luck.
07:40Good luck, you say?
07:42Now, look here, Albert Snow.
07:45You don't mean any disrespect to your country,
07:48but the fact is I've been saving me money for one reason only.
07:52And that's to get back to Ireland as soon as possible.
07:55And no temptress with a honey tongue is going to flamboozle me out of it.
07:59Oh, Casey, you may be doing the poor girl an injustice.
08:02Ah, but look, the fact is that she smiled at a perfect stranger.
08:06And in a certain way.
08:08Now, look, no woman is going to do that
08:11unless she's interested in getting a poor fool's money.
08:14Stay close by me. She's followed me here.
08:19Oh, there you are.
08:23I didn't think you'd run off when I smiled.
08:26Well, what do you want with me?
08:28It's in the window you belong.
08:30I only want to talk to you.
08:32Ask her to sit down.
08:34But look, this is no place for a woman.
08:39This is a tavern, you know.
08:42You'll ruin your reputation here.
08:45People won't bore you the cakes you make.
08:48I'll only be a moment.
08:50Right here, Miss, sir.
08:53Rogers.
08:54Miss Rogers.
08:55Tell Rogers.
08:56Now, there's a name for you.
08:59Beautiful.
09:00My name is Snow.
09:01Albert Snow.
09:02This is my friend, Mr. Brian O'Casey.
09:05How do you do?
09:06Come on, Brian.
09:07Sit down.
09:08All right.
09:09All right.
09:10All right, sir.
09:11Now, listen, Mr. O'Casey.
09:12Yes?
09:13Would you be willing to give me a pound?
09:15You see, I told you so.
09:16No, wait.
09:17Let me finish.
09:18Yes, let the little lady finish.
09:21It's an investment.
09:22I'd like you to be my partner in something.
09:36What kind of something?
09:37A sweepstake ticket.
09:39A sweepstake ticket?
09:41Yes.
09:42I'd like you to be my partner in something.
09:45What kind of something?
09:46A sweepstake ticket.
09:47A sweepstake ticket?
09:48Yes.
09:49Yes. I've got one, and I'd like you to buy half of it from me.
09:54I don't understand any of this at all.
09:57Call it superstition, Mr. O'Casey.
10:00You see, I noticed you were an Irishman from the bakery window.
10:04That four-leaf clover in your buttonhole.
10:07And since everybody knows the Irish are lucky,
10:10I'd like an Irishman to be my partner.
10:13Well, it isn't for a woman to be gambling.
10:16Oh, perhaps not. But think, think if we win, we'll divide 24,000 pounds.
10:23Aye. And if we lose, which is much more likely, I'll be able to pound.
10:27Which is half a week's pay.
10:29Now, wait a minute. I've got an idea.
10:32Why don't the three of us share a ticket?
10:34You're gonna afford that much, can't you, O'Casey?
10:37It'd be going against fate to turn down a gesture like that.
10:41Fate?
10:42It's kismet, O'Casey.
10:45But I've never won anything in me life.
10:48But all the better. The law of averages is on your side.
10:52Do you have the ticket with you, miss?
10:54Yes.
10:59One, six, six, three, four.
11:02Does that sound like a lucky number one, doesn't it?
11:06Well, I suppose I could chance 13 shillings.
11:10That's the spirit.
11:11Now, wait a minute.
11:13Who's going to keep this ticket?
11:18We could tear it up three ways.
11:19And each one of us keep a piece.
11:21That way, no one person would hold the ticket and be able to desert the rest.
11:25Now, that's fair.
11:26In order to cash them, we've all three got to come together again.
11:29Here, O'Casey, tear it in three parts.
11:33Well, now, look.
11:34We all have to keep our stoves in a safe place because if one of us loses his, all three of us would suffer.
11:39Right.
11:40Now, shall we seal the partnership?
11:42One, six, six, three, four.
11:47No extra sweepstakes tickets drawn.
11:50Lucky numbers listed.
11:52Extra, extra sweepstakes tickets drawn.
11:55Lucky numbers listed.
11:59Extra, extra...
12:01Do you want a paper, sir?
12:02Oh, yes, yes, sir.
12:04Extra, extra sweepstakes tickets drawn.
12:09Lucky numbers listed.
12:11Get your midday paper.
12:14Oh, please be here.
12:18I know other people want to win as much as I do, but I'm hoping so much to see the source of Ireland again.
12:28Extra, extra, get your...
12:29One, six, six, three, four.
12:33Oh.
12:38One, six.
12:40Four.
12:41Four.
12:42Four.
12:43Oh, well.
12:44It's not the first one.
12:45Oh, well.
12:46Maybe it'll be the second.
12:47No.
12:48No.
12:49No.
12:50No, no, no, no.
12:51Take it easy, Brian Boy.
12:53There's still five more numbers.
12:55Extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra.
13:02Oh.
13:03Oh.
13:05That Albert Snow.
13:06I was mad to let him talk me into this.
13:09Kismet.
13:10Fate.
13:11Huh.
13:12I ain't going to be old thirteen shillings.
13:13That's what my fate's going to be.
13:14Oh.
13:15One, six, six, three, four.
13:17That's an umber.
13:18That's...
13:19That's an umber.
13:20That's...
13:21That's an umber.
13:22What?
13:23It's...
13:24Hey!
13:25It's mine!
13:26It's mine!
13:27The swing deck money's mine!
13:28Ha!
13:29Ha!
13:30Ha!
13:31Ha!
13:32Ha!
13:33Ha!
13:34Ha!
13:35Ha!
13:36Ha!
13:37Set?
13:38Hit your head, ๊ฐ ์ซant!
13:39tail!
13:40I can't wait.
13:41Thank kitchen is mine.
13:42It's mine!
13:43Oh.
13:44Hey.
13:45Hey.
13:46It's mine.
13:47It's mine.
13:48It's mine.
13:50It's mine!
13:51How's it here?
13:53Albert Snowy!
13:54Albert Snowy!
13:55Albert Snowy!
13:56Albert Snowy!
13:57Look!
13:58I think it's been drawn!
13:59I think it's been drawn!
14:00Oh, poor men!
14:01Why do you think I'm afraid of?
14:02What are we going to do?
14:05Shall we sell it?
14:06Shall we sell it?
14:07Come on, Mr. Taylor.
14:08We'll have a meeting of the stockholders to decide.
14:10All right.
14:11Wait till I get to the end.
14:12I knew it, Mr. O'Casey.
14:13I knew we'd be lucky.
14:14Oh, then I was a fool not to be listening to you right off.
14:17It was like I said, O'Casey, kismet.
14:20Yeah.
14:21But sit down, everybody.
14:22Let's decide what our next step's going to be.
14:27The question which confronts us now is,
14:30shall we sell the ticket or hold on to it and go all the way?
14:35The burning dream our horses are 20 to one shot.
14:38But he could win.
14:40I say, I say, let's go all the way.
14:43Oh, well, I'm not that much of a gambling man myself.
14:46But, Mr. O'Casey, you just admitted you were lucky.
14:50You can desert us now.
14:52Us?
14:53What do you mean by us?
14:55Do you mean you both decided already?
14:57Well, Bill and I have been seeing a bit of each other.
15:02Actually, we speculated on what we would do if our ticket was drawn.
15:06O'Casey, wouldn't you like to be rich?
15:10Oh, well, sure and I would, but...
15:13Let's put it to the boat.
15:15Majority wins.
15:16Uh, no, wait a minute, Bill.
15:18Of course, we'd outvote him.
15:20But I think in a case like this, since we're all friends,
15:23a decision like this should be made unanimously.
15:26How about it, O'Casey?
15:28Come in with us.
15:39It's a burning dream.
15:46Hey, waiter, I'd have another beer.
15:48As long as he's paying for it.
15:51Yeah.
15:52Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
15:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
15:56THE END
16:26Where's O'Castley?
16:32Burning Dream 1!
16:34Burning Dream 1!
16:38It's plenty.
16:55How do you feel?
16:56Did you hear?
17:01Burning Dream 1!
17:03It's rich we all are!
17:06Yes, I heard.
17:10Where's Snow?
17:14I don't think he's coming.
17:17What do you mean he's not coming?
17:19He's got a third of our ticket.
17:20He has to come!
17:21I've been looking for him since last week
17:25when he broke an appointment with me.
17:30Mr. O'Castley, he's disappeared!
17:37Disappeared?
17:38Disappeared?
17:38Well, that was ten days ago, Mr. Holmes.
17:45And this appear he has.
17:47Right off the face of the earth.
17:49And a third of the ticket along with him.
17:52I see.
17:53And now you only have until midnight to find him, eh?
17:55Well, that's when the ticket becomes invalid.
17:57At midnight tonight.
17:58On the dot.
17:59Yes, yes.
18:00Well, that's serious indeed.
18:01Hmm.
18:02I should say so.
18:04Well, look.
18:05Do you think you can do something to help us?
18:06He was told if anyone could perform a miracle,
18:08t'was you.
18:09Well, that's a little exaggerated,
18:10but I'll do my best.
18:12Where can I get in touch with you, Mr. Casey?
18:14Well, you'll be finding me at the Golden Coats Inn tonight.
18:17Miss Rogers and I decided to stay there until closing time
18:19in case Albert should turn off.
18:21Oh, good, good.
18:21Well, I'll look for you there, then.
18:23Right.
18:23Thank you very much.
18:29Oh, uh, Mr. Holmes, I, uh,
18:31I noticed you playing with those cards
18:33and, uh, it didn't miss me glass that you made won't disappear.
18:36Yes, yes.
18:37Well, it's, uh, not very difficult, you know,
18:39once you've got the knack.
18:40Oh, I imagine not.
18:41Only, uh, I reckon the lights ought to be kind of low
18:43because, uh, I saw you put one, uh, right there.
18:48Oh, yes, yes, yes, sir.
18:49Oh, yes, well, uh, good day, Mr. Casey.
18:52Good day, Mr. Holmes, sir.
19:01Yes, well, I'll, uh, I'll work it out in time.
19:03Why don't you give it up altogether?
19:05I was referring to the disappearance of, uh, Mr. Snow.
19:09Oh.
19:11Where are you going?
19:12We are going to the baker's shop to see Miss Rogers, Watson.
19:17About what?
19:18It's almost five o'clock, Watson.
19:22Well, we have just seven hours until midnight.
19:39If I'm right, Watson, this won't take more than a minute.
19:41Good afternoon.
19:54I'd like to speak to Miss Rogers.
19:55Is she here?
19:57She left this morning.
19:58Oh?
19:59Why?
20:00Don't ask me.
20:02When I arrived, she was gone.
20:04There was only a note from her saying she'd taken one of the 12-layer cakes,
20:08which she would pay for in the morning.
20:10Ah-ha.
20:10Was it by any chance a white cake?
20:13One of my very best.
20:15Thank you very much for the information.
20:17Good afternoon.
20:17Good afternoon.
20:23I was right, Watson.
20:25Drive on, Cammie.
20:25Mr. O'Casey.
20:49Mr. O'Casey.
20:52Oh, here.
20:52Take it easy.
20:53Come on.
20:54Sit yourself down.
20:55It's all right.
20:56What's the matter?
20:57What's happened?
20:58The police.
21:00They found his coat in the river.
21:02Albert's.
21:03Yes, it was all bloodstained and there was a bullet hole in it.
21:06Oh, no.
21:08And the ticket's somewhere at the bottom of the river.
21:18What are you going to do?
21:21I'm going to throw my stub into the fire and watch it burn.
21:24It's useless now.
21:27Oh, but Miss Rogers, I...
21:28There.
21:35Now give me your stub.
21:38It was my idea to split up the ticket.
21:41I deserve to see my mistake all the way through.
21:44You may as well, Mr. O'Casey.
21:45With Miss Rogers' stub destroyed, yours, I'm afraid, has no value.
21:54But you told me there was hope.
21:57Yes, I know.
21:58I'm sorry.
21:59I was mistaken.
21:59You may destroy it now, Miss Rogers, if you wish.
22:12Now it's all finished and done with.
22:13My hopes were so high of seeing the shores of Ireland soon again.
22:35But now...
22:35Yes, perhaps a little tea would improve your spirits, eh?
22:46I can still see the picture of those two at that inn.
22:49Take me a long time to get over that, Holmes.
22:52Oh, I think you'll get over it sooner than you imagined.
22:55Holmes, what?
23:02Pleasure domain, my dear fellow.
23:04The hand deceives the eye.
23:06This afternoon, after I left you,
23:07I palmed a piece of another sweepstake ticket
23:10on Miss Belle Rogers.
23:17Neat, eh?
23:19Would you like a little whiskey in your tea?
23:22Do you good, you know, and help you sleep.
23:23Blast the tea, Holmes.
23:25You're hiding something from me.
23:28Well, nothing really,
23:29except that it occurred to me
23:30that Snow and Belle Rogers
23:32had contrived to cheat O'Casey out of his money.
23:35I was absolutely certain of this
23:37when we visited the baker's shop,
23:38and I found out that she had taken a large white cake.
23:42Well, what's that got to do with anything?
23:44A large white cake,
23:46very appropriate for marriage,
23:47don't you think, Watson?
23:48You think they were married?
23:50Or about to be.
23:52Yes, but that still doesn't tell me
23:53what kind of a scheme they had.
23:55Well, it was really quite ingenious.
23:56Snow would go into hiding
23:57and at the crucial moment
23:59give the impression that he'd been murdered.
24:00Now, this was the cue for Miss Rogers
24:02to give up hope
24:03and throw her stub onto the fire.
24:06Ah, yes, but it wasn't the real stub,
24:08but one that she had obtained, as I did.
24:10Now, very artfully,
24:12she would get O'Casey's stub from him
24:13and pretend to do the same.
24:15You, uh, you mean she really kept O'Casey's stub
24:21and destroyed a dummy one?
24:23Exactly.
24:24Now, she and Snow would have had a complete ticket
24:26if I hadn't substituted a dummy of my own.
24:29Well, that's amazing, Holmes.
24:31Fantastic.
24:33Well, I think it makes sense now.
24:35Or does it?
24:37After all, you've no proof of anything.
24:39Your whole theory is just a series of inferences.
24:43If once your premise is wrong,
24:44the whole structure collapses.
24:46Naturally, my dear Watson.
24:47I believe you've met Miss Rogers,
25:07and this is the missing Mr. Snow.
25:10I think you'd better fetch O'Casey now, Watson.
25:14I can't predict what his feelings will be
25:16when he sees you.
25:17But you know what Irish tempers are.
25:21Why, say, Holmes?
25:22Yes?
25:23Don't you think that Mr. O'Casey's third share
25:25is worth at least half?
25:27Oh, yes.
25:29Yes, quite right, Watson.
25:31At least a half.
25:47Oh, yes, quite right there.
25:49You think that to me,
25:49I wish I did it or not.
25:50Oh, yes!
25:50Hi, listen!
