00:00his letter has engaged you on behalf of miss Dunbar she's the one in need might
00:11we not pay her a visit in the cells of Winchester but we require the official
00:16permits well we have the means to apply of course it may not be quite ethical
00:23practical I congratulate you
00:53you've solved our problem Watson some officious little pipsqueak of a clerk
00:59queried both the letter and our home office permits he demanded a personal
01:03authorization from Gibson himself but you've sorted it out only by the good
01:06fortune of meeting her lawyer Mr Cummings he secured a brief audience with her
01:10Mr Joyce Cummings a man with a rising reputation that is certainly in her favor
01:14it really is providence to see you here Mr Holmes her trial is in two days and I really am at my
01:38wit's end to find any evidence to say she'll admit to writing a note and keeping the rendezvous with
01:43mrs. Gibson she has little choice but beyond that I've advised her to reserve
01:47her defense quite so
02:06this is mr. Sherlock Holmes and his colleague dr. Watson your employer mr.
02:12Gibson has engaged me to look into this unhappy matter
02:16oh I'm very grateful to mr. Gibson it is incredible that the charge against me has
02:22been sustained I thought the whole thing would clear itself up in the police court
02:26my dear young lady I beg of you to have no illusions mr. Cummings here will assure you
02:32all the cards are presented against you mr. Gibson is convinced of your innocence but it would be a cruel deception to pretend that you are not in very great danger
02:40danger I would conceal nothing what were the true relations between you and mr. Gibson's wife
02:45how dare you take this liberty mr. Holmes and mr. Gibson and you Cummings I did not engage you sir to conspire against me these men are here under false pretenses I did not authorize their visit their deceivers I demand their removal at once
02:52mr. you've made a disturbance mr.
03:10mr. Gibson worthy of bedlam
03:12or have you crushed for this Holmes or it'll profit you nothing
03:16mr. Holmes we are leaving superintendent
03:19mr. Cummings for the moment miss Dunbar
03:23you must put your faith in Sherlock Holmes
03:29mr. Ferguson
03:37ah
03:37there is an excellent exhibition of the museum across the street I recommend it to you the museum closes at five
03:47the museum
03:53I think I have a charge of superintendent
03:53I'm a misunderstanding
04:08the copy of the lease of the buckboat class workers dated 1578
04:15These Huguenots, are they any relations of yours?
04:19Possibly.
04:22Monsieur Henri de Portal and his papermaking of Le Verstoke.
04:26They've had the manufacture of banknotes for over 100 years.
04:30Good to know that there's money somewhere in your family.
04:41Good afternoon, Mr Ferguson.
04:43Mr Neil Gibson wishes to see you at Thor Place at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
04:50This evening will be more convenient.
04:52Good morning. 11 o'clock, Mr Holmes.
04:56Will the motor be sent for us?
04:59There is a train which will take you to Thor Village.
05:03Mr Gibson is a busy man. He expects punctuality.
05:06How did you know that he was going to turn...
05:14I gambled that we made enough of an impression upon Miss Dunbar to turn us back into favour.
05:19We are, after all, her only hope.
05:21Now, Watson, we must find a comfortable inn for the night.
05:23So that we can arrive punctually at Thor Place at 9 o'clock in the morning.
05:29I thought he said 11.
05:309, Watson.
05:31To meet Sergeant Coventry of the local police.
05:33On all events, Mr Holmes, I'd rather have you than Scotland Yard.
05:39If Yard gets called into a case, the local loses all credit for success and may be blamed for failure.
05:45Now you play straight, so I've heard.
05:46I need not appear to the matter at all.
05:49That's very handsome of you.
05:51And your friend, Dr Watson, can be trusted. I know.
05:55Now, there is one question I'd like to ask you, and I'd breathe it to no soul but you.
06:00Don't you think there might be a case against Mr Neil Gibson himself?
06:05According to the servants, he retired to his study after dinner and had no company at all until the alarm at 11.
06:12As I've been considering, Mr Gibson, these Americans are ready with their pistols than our folk are.
06:19It was his pistol, you know. One of a pair he had.
06:23One of a pair? Where is the other?
06:26Well, these gentlemen have all kinds of firearms of one sort or another.
06:29We never quite matched that particular pistol.
06:32The box was made for two.
06:34Now, this is where the body lay.
06:37I gathered from the press reports that the shot was fired at close quarters.
06:40Very close, sir.
06:41On the right temple?
06:42Just behind it, sir.
06:43How did the body lie?
06:44On the back, sir.
06:45No trace of a struggle.
06:46No mark.
06:47No weapons.
06:48The short note from Miss Dunbar was clutched in her left hand.
06:51Clutched?
06:52Yes, sir.
06:53We could hardly open her fingers.
06:55That is of the greatest importance.
06:57It excludes the idea that anybody could have placed it there after death to furnish a false clue.
07:03Dear me.
07:05Now, the note, as I remember, was quite short.
07:09Yes, it would be at Thorbridge, nine o'clock, G. Dunbar. Wasn't that it?
07:14So it was, sir.
07:15The point of the note is obscured, is it not?
07:18Well, sir, it seemed, if I may be bold as to say, sir, the only really clear point in the whole case.
07:23Assuming the note is genuine?
07:25She certainly received it some time before, say, an hour or two.
07:29Why was she then clasping it in her left hand?
07:32She had no need to refer to it in the interview.
07:37Does not that seem remarkable?
07:39Well, sir, as you put it, perhaps it does.
07:46That is curious.
07:48Oh, yes, sir, we noticed that.
07:49I expect it to be dumped by some passerby.
07:51It took some violence to do that.
07:55It was a hard knock.
07:57Not from above, but below.
07:59You see, it's on the lower end of the parapet, Watson.
08:01Yes.
08:03And in a direct line with the position of the body.
08:07It's probably of no matter.
08:12No footprints, you say?
08:13The ground was iron hard, sir. No marks at all.
08:15Then we have nothing more to learn here.
08:21You are early, Mr. Holmes.
08:22It is often the case with punctuality, Mr. Ferguson.
08:24Mr. Gibson is in a meeting.
08:25He is not ready to see you.
08:26I'll take care of them, Ferguson.
08:27I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
08:28As we are a little early.
08:29Perhaps we could see the gunman.
08:30I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
08:31As we are a little early.
08:32Perhaps we could see the gunman.
08:33I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
08:34As we are a little early.
08:35Perhaps we could see the gunman.
08:36I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
08:37As we are a little early.
08:38Perhaps we could see the gunman.
08:39I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
08:40As we are a little early.
08:41Perhaps we could see the gunman.
08:42I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
08:44I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
08:49As we are a little early.
08:50Perhaps we could see the gunman.
08:54Perhaps we could see the gunman.
09:22A man who has his enemies.
09:24Oh, yes.
09:25If you knew him and his methods.
09:27He sleeps with a loaded revolver in a drawer by his bed.
09:30He's a man of violence, sir.
09:32Have you ever seen him strike his wife?
09:34Yes.
09:35More than once.
09:36Our gold king does not seem to shine in private life.
09:41That's the box that contained the murder weapon.
09:45It was one of a pair.
09:46The other is missing.
09:47Mr. Ferguson is sure to know that you're consortium.
09:51Does that hold no alarm for you?
09:54There's nothing you can do to hurt me now.
09:57Perhaps you'd be so kind as to show us the schoolroom.
10:04Grab the children.
10:05Sent away.
10:06On a visit to America.
10:08All around us.
10:15Their Brazilian heritage from their mother's side.
10:21Miss Dunbar seemed to be a remarkable teacher.
10:24The children doted on her.
10:26See, Watson.
10:28The Ricardo Franco Hills.
10:31See those unscalable cliffs,
10:33which time at the foot of man had never touched,
10:35where monsters from the dawn of history might still roll.
10:38That's Martins, the Indian hunter.
10:41You know about him.
10:43His victims, women and children.
10:46Pitiful.
10:47Would you say that Maria Gibson was jealous of Miss Dunbar
10:51and her influence over the children?
10:53There was no love lost between them.
10:55But that was because she could see her husband was under the lady's spell too.
10:58Get out of here, Bates!
11:08Mr. Bates's views are not relevant, Mr. Holmes.
11:10They're distorted by his infatuation for my late wife.
11:13Who knows, Mr. Gibson, what is and what is not relevant?
11:18You're like a surgeon who wants every symptom before he can give a diagnosis.
11:23But there's only a patient who has reason in deceiving his surgeon who conceals the facts.
11:29I can assure you that the relations between Miss Dunbar and myself do not touch this case.
11:36Well, surely that is for me to decide.
11:41Most men have a little private reserve in some corner of their souls where they don't welcome intruders.
11:47You burst suddenly into mine. What is it you want?
11:53The truth.
12:02I met my wife when I was gold hunting in Britain.
12:23I'm a inhabited worker in Britain.
12:27Yeah, let's see them for you only fellow beggars, and you their needs.
12:29I need any partner whoseoutez is got us right.
12:32The truth is decent, I know.
12:34People don't think so.
12:35They're going to leave a category of聖 temple, which they get lost,
12:36and carnage leaves are open.
12:38They can think they're going to come.
12:40If you don't know who we need them, they can prove them to the Sh
12:42innovations.
12:43Tamama Franklin notbone!
