00:00well now I I must leave you among my other concerns the sickness in the
00:16village and I have the baby's funeral to prepare for tomorrow your story is
00:21complex reverend but not without some interest that I'm sure there's a
00:29rational explanation for it
00:37Watson and I will visit your community oh I'm so pleased you mentioned an inn if
00:43the checkers it's a decently run place well thank you I'm so grateful so
00:49grateful to you both so grateful
01:19all right two sudden deaths the blacksmith and the child shortly after contact
01:28natural causes of the coroner's report will inform us
01:31Stockton's nocturnal habits the light in the window writer's block
01:37his morbid interest in graveyards after dark no I object to the word morbid it's a motive not fact
01:45right never entering the church you raise that point yourself never seen to enter
01:50the church and does that make a man a ghoul because he has no interest in religion
01:54the evening spent in Ferguson's house was the vicar there
01:57no but Mary do you tell us that Stockton touched the baby's hand is that your case
02:02so what is our mission here possibly to prevent a crime a man having a state driven through his heart
02:08we have our timing right
02:22we can scarcely intrude not intrude Watson
02:50observe
02:52observe
02:57I wonder if Stockton's here.
03:24He's hardly likely to show his face on this occasion.
03:27A recent dinner guest? A friend of the family?
03:29In the circumstances, no.
03:31Yes, I'm sure he'll arrive.
03:34But I know he's not far away.
03:37Man that is born a woman hath but a short time to live,
03:42and is full of misery.
03:45He cometh up and is cut down like a flower.
03:49He fleeth as it were a shadow,
03:52and never continueth in one's stay.
03:56In the midst of life we are in death.
03:59Of whom may we seek for succour?
04:01But of thee, O Lord,
04:03who for our sins are justly displeased.
04:07We meekly beseech thee, O Father,
04:10to raise us from the death of sin
04:13unto the life of righteousness,
04:16that when we shall depart this life
04:18we may rest in him, as our hope is,
04:22this our brother doth.
04:24And that, at the general resurrection and the last day,
04:30we may be found acceptable in thy sight,
04:33and receive that blessing which thy well-loved Son
04:37shall then pronounce to all that love and fear thee, saying,
04:41come ye blessed children of my Father.
04:44Receive the kingdom prepared for you
04:46from the beginning of the world.
04:49For with this we beseech thee, O mercy.
04:53O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord
05:23The Jack fell from a tree when he was eight or nine.
05:31Damaged his spine, boy, young chap.
05:34The father, was he here abroad when it happened?
05:38I do believe he was away, yes.
05:41A boyhood almost without mother or father.
05:44Well, I was here as his spiritual guardian,
05:46and Mrs. Mason, the housekeeper from the farm,
05:50she brought him up with her own boy, Michael.
05:53These recorded deaths homes, so many of them, so young.
05:57An influenza epidemic, perhaps.
05:59As we have now upon us.
06:02If Stockton is perceived as some sort of avenger,
06:07why should he light up on the Fergusons?
06:08I mean, they weren't here a hundred years ago.
06:12Even now, they're scarcely part of the village life.
06:15So why?
06:16Why is he drawn to them?
06:18Do we have any connection with Peru?
06:23Or is it something nearer home?
06:25Or is it something nearer home?
06:26Or is it something nearer home?
06:26Did you make friends with the local doctor?
06:53Hardly friends, but I was greeted with deep suspicion.
06:58I had to plead my rugby acquaintanceship with Fergus,
07:00and that goes back 30 years.
07:03He threw me over the ropes into the crowd at the old Deer Park.
07:08How are we to explain your presence here?
07:10Well, I can't believe there will be detained here long.
07:13Where are the coroner's report?
07:18Blacksmith Carter died of a hemorrhage.
07:22He may have looked robust, but he was overweight and he drank too much.
07:25And the baby?
07:26Put down to pneumonia.
07:27That's not advanced?
07:28No.
07:30It's as we thought.
07:31What now?
07:32A visit to Ferguson?
07:33Pay our respects?
07:34No.
07:34I'm hungry.
07:44Jack.
07:45Jack.
07:45Where's Jack?
08:10Is he down with you?
08:12No.
08:13I haven't seen sight, no sound of him since this afternoon.
08:16He didn't come back here after the funeral.
08:19I'll ask Michael if he's seen him.
08:21Yeah.
08:22Is that for Mrs. Ferguson?
08:23Yes, chicken broth.
08:25She must eat something.
08:26I'll take it up to her.
08:29Thank you, Midley.
08:29No food.
08:45She's asleep now, sir.
08:47No wake her up.
08:49I'll decide that, Dolores.
09:25You're out of here.
09:28I don't know how you dare to enter.
09:30Don't touch me.
09:31Go away.
09:32I don't know what you're saying.
10:02I know.
10:28Anything more I can get you, gentlemen?
10:29This is excellent.
10:31No, thank you.
10:31A glass of water, thank you.
10:34You were seen, Michael.
10:36Yes, you were, and there's no denying it.
10:38Her clutch in your arm right through that service.
10:41That wasn't my doing, Vera.
10:43She was grieving.
10:44She needed the support of a man.
10:46Just because she's foreign and beautiful.
10:49Not ride a horse like you.
10:51Oh, what's the matter riding horses?
10:54I bet you kissed her, knowing you.
10:56Kissed her?
10:57I get my jaw broken with that one.
10:59She's fiery.
11:00That's just how you like her.
11:01That's right.
11:03All ruffled feathers like you.
11:05Come on.
11:07Step out.
11:07No, get off.
11:08Come on.
11:09No, Michael!
11:10I'm not feeling very well tonight.
11:28This steak and kidney pudding is every bit as good as its reputation, wouldn't you say, Watson?
11:32Yes, every bit.
11:34You're famous in Baker Street, Mrs. Gresty.
11:39Our housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson, put us on to you.
11:42Mrs. Hudson?
11:43She has a sister who lives nearby.
11:46Oh.
11:47Well, it's my husband you have to compliment.
11:50It's him who does the cooking, mostly.
11:53So you are Sherlock Holmes.
11:55At your service.
11:56Not a case, then, are you?
11:58Oh, surely.
11:59There's no crime in this part of the country.
