00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00I wish to see Inspector Lestrade at once
01:08Your name, sir?
01:09Dr. John Watson
01:10He's expecting you, sir
01:11In a way, I believe he is
01:13Well, I'll tell him you're here, sir
01:15You can go in, sir
01:24Ah, Dr. Watson
01:29I didn't expect of the pleasure of seeing you again so soon
01:32Will you kindly read that?
01:34What is it?
01:35Read it
01:36Oh
01:39Yes, sir
01:41Oh
01:41I think it's disgraceful, sir
01:44Absolutely disgraceful
01:46What?
01:48Yes, and I'm glad you are here
01:49So that I can tell it to you personally
01:51Why, you and I both know that it was Sherlock Holmes who solved the Cunningham case
01:56If it wasn't for his brilliance and his persistency
01:59The fact would never have been brought to light
02:00And I think it's scandalous, sir
02:03That the newspaper should have given me all the credit
02:06And said so very little about his magnificent achievement
02:08What do you think, doctor?
02:09I absolutely agree with you
02:12I'm glad you're on my side, doctor
02:14Why, of course
02:15I'm so glad you take it that way
02:17What does Holmes think?
02:19Oh, he doesn't mind
02:20You know he doesn't care who gets the credit
02:21Oh, dear old Holmes
02:23Such a modest fellow
02:24Yes, sir
02:25Well, look, you must give him my kind regards
02:27Yes
02:27And tell him that
02:28Although I know he doesn't think anything about it
02:30I intend to get the newspapers to get the facts straight
02:34Well, that's very good of you, Inspector
02:35What's Holmes doing these days?
02:36Well, the last time I saw him
02:38He was playing about a lot of ink smudges
02:40And talking about, um, the prints that fingers make
02:42No
02:43Good old Holmes
02:46Always experimenting
02:47Inspector Lestrade, sir
02:50Yes, what is it?
02:51There's been a murder reported at the home of Lord Beryl
02:53What?
02:54Lord Beryl of the Foreign Office
02:56That's him, sir
02:56I'll be right with you
02:57Excuse me, Doctor
02:59Yes, of course
03:00Lord Beryl
03:01This is going to be a tricky situation
03:04To handle what with a foreign office
03:06And who knows what else
03:07Yes, indeed
03:08Can I be of any assistance?
03:10I don't think so, Doctor
03:11Oh, perhaps as a medical man
03:13Mind you, I don't know what to expect
03:15But I think you could be of invaluable assistance
03:17Say no more
03:18Here's the address, sir
03:19Your carriage is waiting outside
03:21Oh, thank you very much
03:22Perhaps you'd care to acquaint Sherlock Holmes
03:24With what has happened
03:25Well, I don't know
03:26No
03:27I don't know myself what's happened
03:29As you said, the people involved make this case rather delicate
03:33Perhaps a little suggestion now and then might help facilitate matters
03:37One never knows
03:38Yes, you're so right
03:41Take a message to Mr. Sherlock Holmes of 221 Baker Street
03:44221B
03:45Yes, of course
03:46221B Baker Street
03:47Tell him what has happened and drive him to Lord Beryl's residence
03:50Yes, sir
03:51And tell him Dr. John Watson is already there
03:53The flat's for first floor up
03:55Yes, sir
03:55Very good, sir
03:56221B Baker Street
04:05Yes, sir
04:06Yes, sir
04:07Yes, sir
04:08Yes, sir
04:10Yes, sir
04:10Yes, sir
04:11Yes, sir
04:12Yes, sir
04:13Yes, sir
04:14Yes, sir
04:15Yes, sir
04:16Yes, sir
04:17Yes, sir
04:18Yes, sir
04:19Yes, sir
04:20Yes, sir
04:21Yes, sir
04:22Yes, sir
04:23Yes, sir
04:24Yes, sir
04:25Yes, sir
04:26Yes, sir
04:27Yes, sir
04:28Yes, sir
04:29Yes, sir
04:30Yes, sir
04:31Yes, sir
04:32Come in.
04:39Excuse me, Mr. Holmes.
04:40Yes?
04:42I have a message for you, sir.
04:44There's been a murder committed at the home of Lord Beryl.
04:47Inspector Lestrade and Dr. Watson have already gone there.
04:51Would you care to have some tea?
04:54Some tea, sir?
04:56Yes.
04:57Is that what you're making?
04:58Oh, come along.
04:59Come and have a look at this.
04:59I'm working on an extract from a special series of pygmy poisons.
05:05Sounds very interesting, sir.
05:07Tea?
05:08Well, yes, sir.
05:09I don't mind if I do.
05:14You take milk?
05:16Yes, sir, please, sir, if I may.
05:17Sure, indeed.
05:19Sugar?
05:20Thank you, sir.
05:21Oh, where did I put that sugar?
05:23Ah, that is.
05:24It's very few.
05:25Help yourself.
05:26Thank you, sir.
05:27Well.
05:29What's this you're doing here, sir?
05:35Well, I believe that certain poisons, if taken in the correct doses, can actually have beneficial rather than fatal effects.
05:43Now, that's very interesting, sir.
05:45Yes, it is indeed.
05:47What's all this over here, sir?
05:49Oh, that?
05:50Oh, those are some tropical leaves.
05:52They were sent to me by a friend of mine who hunts in that part of the country.
05:56The essence, you see, passes through this tube, down here and across the table, and is condensed in that retort there.
06:06And what's that stuff in the bottom there?
06:08That's lime.
06:08That acts as a catalytic agent to combine the essence of the leaves with a dark, tar-like substance, which you can see at the bottom.
06:16Inspector Lestrade, I demand to see my wife.
06:31You've kept me waiting half an hour, and now I should like an explanation.
06:33Of course, you're entitled to one, sir.
06:36You know that Karl Oberstein was murdered in your study.
06:38I was informed of that, and it is a tragedy, of course.
06:41But I still don't see that that is...
06:43Lord Bell, your wife has confessed to shooting him.
06:47What?
06:49That's why I couldn't allow you to see her.
06:51We were taking her statement.
06:54What does she say?
06:55Apart from the actual confession of murder, she refuses to say anything.
07:00You may go in now if you wish, Lord Bell.
07:05You may go in now.
07:35What's that you're putting in now, sir?
07:42Well, it's a form of acid dye.
07:45There.
07:47That's all right.
07:50Oh, where have you two been all the afternoon?
07:53Didn't the sergeant tell you?
07:55Oh, yes, I remember.
07:57It was a murder somewhere.
07:58Wasn't it interesting?
07:59No, Mr. Dewey.
08:01Uh-huh.
08:02Well.
08:03This bed coming over with Kim Zetter.
08:05Whiskey and salad are strange.
08:09Oh, I don't know.
08:10I'll be off duty in, um, five minutes.
08:13Yes, I think that'd be all right.
08:14Mm-hmm.
08:16Don't.
08:17Meat for me.
08:19Well, um, sit down if you can find yourself a place.
08:22There you go.
08:25Yes, well, I think we can leave that to boil for a little while now.
08:28Now, gentlemen, what's the problem?
08:31Who was murdered?
08:32A man named Carl Oberstein.
08:36Oberstein.
08:37Oberstein.
08:37Oh, yes, I remember.
08:38An Austrian chap.
08:40Hmm.
08:40He was originally, but, of course, for a number of years, he's been a freelance agent.
08:45Mm-hmm.
08:45Flying and selling anything to get his hands on, eh?
08:47But his hands are a bit too much this time.
08:49Lady Burl shot him.
08:51Holtz Smith, 38.
08:53Oh, really?
08:55There was a nasty bit there.
08:57I examined the body before it was removed.
08:59Entire back of the head gone.
09:01Instantaneous death of court.
09:02Did you find the bullet?
09:03No, the police surgeon will do that.
09:05It hadn't come out.
09:06Yes, and that shot in the back of the head removes any possible chance Lady Burl may have had of claiming self-defense.
09:13You're off duty now, aren't you, Wilkins?
09:15Yes, sir.
09:16You may go home.
09:17Thank you, sir.
09:19It's been a pleasure working for you this afternoon, Mr. Holmes.
09:22Like to know how it all turns out, I'll let you know.
09:27Thank you, sir.
09:28Good afternoon, sir.
09:29I feel sorry for Lord Burl.
09:31It'll be quite a scandal when this appears in the papers.
09:34Yes, it certainly will be.
09:38I wonder why Lady Burl lied to you.
09:42What nationality was Lady Burl originally?
09:44Well, she was born in Austria, although she was brought up in America.
09:49She's been here in England for the past five years since her marriage, you know.
09:52It's a shame I won't like her has to remain in prison.
09:55Still, she might decide to tell you...
09:56What did you say?
10:06I beg your pardon?
10:09What did you say just now?
10:11I didn't say anything.
10:13Oh, yes, you did.
10:18You said, I wonder why Lady Burl lied to you.
10:21Oh, that.
10:22Yes, what did you mean?
10:23Nothing, except, of course, that Lady Burl didn't shoot this chap, Oberstein, at all.
10:27But she confessed to it.
10:29Nonsense.
10:30She didn't shoot Oberstein because Oberstein wasn't shot.
10:32His head was bashed in with a blunt instrument.
10:35The revolver you claimed was the murder weapon actually belonged to Oberstein.
10:38She found it lying by his side and pretended she'd done it in order to shield her husband.
10:43She's no more guilty than you two are.
10:45Would you hold that like a good fellow, please?
10:47Would you please repeat that?
10:50Of course.
10:50It's as plain as her...
10:51Would you mind holding that?
10:53Oh, well, it's not plain to me.
10:55Well, you told me that Lady Burl confessed to shooting Oberstein.
10:58But Oberstein wasn't shot.
11:00Just because you find a man with the back of his head shattered and a gun lying by his side
11:03is no reason to assume he's been shot.
11:08You also assumed that the bullet had lodged in Oberstein's cranium
11:11because it hadn't emerged through the front.
11:14Now, any student of elementary ballistics
11:16knows that the greatest damage to the skull is on the opposite side to which the bullet entered.
11:20The point of entry is always clean.
11:22But the gun we found was an Austrian gun, and Lady Burl is an Austrian.
11:28Now, there's a logical bit of reasoning for you.
11:31Would you mind holding that, please?
11:33Lady Burl saw Oberstein lying there and jumped to the same conclusion we did.
11:37Lady Burl's innocent.
11:38Then somebody else is guilty.
11:40Brilliant.
11:42We've got to get back to the premises and re-examine them for clues.
11:46You come with us, Holmes.
11:47This nonsense can wait.
11:49Nonsense?
11:51Nonsense.
11:54Nonsense?
11:55Did you say nonsense?
11:56I'll have you know, Inspector Lestrade,
11:57that if the law enforcement agencies of this country
12:00were a little, an infinitesimal amount more advanced than ancient Neolithic man,
12:04I would not have to be doing the basic research work
12:06that will in time benefit police bureaus throughout the earth.
12:09You may have a point, Mr. Holmes.
12:11A point.
12:11The only point is,
12:12the only point is human,
12:13of which there is a paucity in the halls of our defending to the public.
12:16So do you have it, Inspector?
12:17I certainly do think, sir.
12:18Now, I'll tell you a few other things, Mr. Holmes.
12:20And now, we return to the case of Lady Beryl.
12:47It's to be dependent 90% on a good memory.
12:50Details, Lestrade.
12:51Those are the things.
12:53She's in here.
12:54Normally, I'd detain her for confessing to a crime she didn't commit,
12:57but, well, what with the foreign office and all that,
13:01I don't believe I win.
13:02No, no, Lestrade, you don't want to hold her.
13:04Much easier to solve the crime if she's out.
13:06Exactly.
13:11Inspector Lestrade.
13:13Inspector Lestrade.
13:43Lady Beryl,
13:45you know, of course, we're releasing you.
13:48So I understand.
13:50Do you know why?
13:51No.
13:52We've been able to prove that you didn't commit this murder you confessed to.
13:58I see.
14:00We would, however, like an explanation as to why you confessed to this crime.
14:03I prefer not to explain my actions, Inspector.
14:16You realize, of course, that your actions are in themselves punishable
14:20and that we could detain you.
14:23I see.
14:24You still prefer to make no statement?
14:30That is correct.
14:35Very well, Lady Beryl.
14:37You'll be released as soon as the formalities can be cleared.
14:40I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Holmes.
14:41Please consider me forever in your debt.
14:44Human beings lie to gain, to cover, or to protect.
14:49I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Holmes.
15:05Please consider me forever in your debt.
15:07Not at all.
15:11You're in the Foreign Office, aren't you, Lord Beryl?
15:13I am.
15:16Had you ever met Herr Oberstein before?
15:19I had.
15:21Exactly when?
15:23Last week.
15:24For the first time?
15:26And the last time.
15:28I see.
15:30I believe it was his habit to offer large sums of money to men in key positions
15:34for the information they may have had in their possession.
15:38I believe that was his habit, Mr. Holmes.
15:43Oh, Lord Beryl, while your wife is on her way here,
15:46I wonder if I might look at the premises of the crime.
15:48Well, of course, of course.
15:50It happened in the study.
15:52With your permission.
15:53My house is yours, sir.
15:56Well, now, let me see.
16:09Carl Oberstein was lying about, about there.
16:15Of course, it's been removed.
16:17Oh, yes.
16:17Yes.
16:18Of course.
16:20I see you've cleaned everything up with your usual remarkable efficiency, Lestrade.
16:25Now, look here, Holmes.
16:26I didn't know there was going to be any mystery about this affair.
16:29Oberstein's head was here, Holmes.
16:30His feet were there.
16:32Thank you, Watson.
16:32Where was the gun lying?
16:43To the left of the body.
16:45Nearer the hand or the feet.
16:48Nearer the head.
16:50Was Oberstein face up or down?
16:53Face up.
16:53I had to turn him over to examine him.
16:55Has there been any effort made to gain forceful entry into the house?
17:02None was reported.
17:03What?
17:08Lord Beryl, do you use glasses when you read?
17:12I, uh, yes, I do.
17:14Please.
17:16Are they your only pair?
17:19Yes.
17:20Who first discovered the body?
17:23I believe my secretary.
17:25Is he here?
17:27Yes.
17:28I'll call him.
17:39Lestrade?
17:41Where was Lord Beryl at the time you estimated the crime was committed?
17:45He'd been at a meeting with high government officials all day.
17:49Oh, good, good.
17:51Why did you ask about the glasses, Holmes?
17:54It's because Lord Beryl wears glasses when he reads.
17:58But Lady Beryl confessed to a crime she didn't commit.
18:03What?
18:06This is my secretary, Mr. Ross.
18:09You've met Inspector Lestrade and Dr. Watson.
18:11This gentleman is Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
18:13How do you do?
18:14I understand it's through your efforts that Lady Beryl was returning home.
18:19Partially through my efforts.
18:21I wonder if I could impose upon you, Mr. Ross.
18:24Of course, sir.
18:26Would you mind taking these sheets of paper and roughly outline the position in which you discovered the body?
18:32Outlining it in scraps of paper?
18:34If you would be so kind.
18:36Why, of course.
18:38What's the purpose of that?
18:40How many men have you on the premises, Lestrade?
18:42Two outside.
18:43Why?
18:44Good, good.
18:44I wonder if you'd mind taking them into the garden behind this window and making a thorough search of the premises for a radius of 30 feet.
18:52Looking for what?
18:53Anything that doesn't belong in a garden.
18:57Are you serious, Holmes?
18:58Shh, shh, shh, completely.
19:07Let's get him out of our way.
19:12Have you examined your safe, Lord Beryl?
19:15I have, Mr. Holmes.
19:16All my papers are intact.
19:19Excellent, excellent.
19:22Does Mr. Ross have a combination to your safe?
19:26Yes.
19:27There's been no question of robbery.
19:29Of course not, Ross.
19:30One must ask these questions in an investigation.
19:33Of course.
19:36Good afternoon, Lady Beryl.
19:38Hey, my darling.
19:41How are you?
19:42I'm all right, George.
19:43Quite all right.
19:45You must rest.
19:46This experience must have been horrible for you.
19:49It's all right.
19:49It didn't last long enough to be too difficult.
19:52I don't know how, but Holmes has solved the entire thing.
19:56Has he really?
20:00Not entirely, Lady Beryl.
20:02Not yet.
20:04Do you expect to?
20:06I can only hope to.
20:07Mr. Holmes, if there's anything I can do to help.
20:16If it would not be too much of any position, Lady Beryl, I would like you to retake the position in which Mr. Ross discovered you when he entered the room.
20:22Mr. Holmes, my wife has had a harrowing experience.
20:26Please consider her nerves at this point.
20:28You're forgetting, Lord Beryl, that your wife confessed to a crime she didn't commit.
20:32The circumstances are somewhat exceptional.
20:34But if Lady Beryl would rather not, I...
20:36It's quite all right, George.
20:43Now, uh...
20:45Let me see, uh...
20:48I was standing here.
20:54Exactly there?
20:56I, uh...
20:57I believe so.
20:59Mr. Ross,
21:00are you quite certain that that is the position in which Lady Beryl was standing?
21:05Well, if you'll pardon my saying so, Lady Beryl.
21:09Just for the sake of accuracy, I understand.
21:11I believe you were standing just a bit further to your left.
21:16A little to your left, Lady Beryl.
21:20Like that?
21:21Yes.
21:22I'd say right there.
21:24Good.
21:26Now, Lady Beryl had a revolver in her hand.
21:28Mr. Holmes.
21:29That is correct.
21:31In which hand?
21:34My right hand.
21:36Mr. Ross?
21:37That's right.
21:38Lady Beryl's right hand.
21:40Lord Beryl, do you happen to have a revolver in the house?
21:43Yes, I have.
21:44May I have it?
21:46I'm not going to ask my wife to...
21:48Yes, I am.
21:49If your wife has no objection.
21:52Of course she has objections.
21:55I have no objections, Mr. Holmes.
21:59I have no objection.
22:01I have no objection.
22:06Ah, excellent.
22:06A .38 caliber.
22:07Do you notice, Watson, that it's patterned very closely after the Schmidtholts, the revolver in question?
22:13Lady Beryl,
22:14is that the way you held it I believe so mr. Ross yes it was like that mr. Ross I'd like you to
22:25think very hard a great deal depends on what you're going to say now as far as you can remember that
22:30was the position of hair Oberstein's body yes and where in relation to hair Oberstein's body and
22:38Lady Beryl with the broken eye glasses over there there yes what's no were there any glasses on the
22:53floor when you found the body absolutely not your positive positive that's right I didn't know what
23:00I was saying there were no glasses on the floor at all there weren't any glasses on the floor when
23:06you found Lady Beryl bending over the body but there were when you were sent her Oberstein crashing
23:10to the ground before you run mr. Ross look at Lady Beryl I don't understand this mr. Holmes well
23:26very simple really her Oberstein approached you with an offer to buy foreign office secrets you
23:30threw him out then Ross contacted him prepared to sell him the secrets what is nothing missing
23:35from the safe of course not if you sold anything you'd have been found out now Oberstein came
23:41here expecting to buy you were from the safe showed him the papers he wanted he put his glasses on to
23:48examine them and then when he paid you you smashed his skull in he fell breaking his glasses his revolver
