00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30Gentlemen of the jury, have you decided on your verdict?
00:01:41We have.
00:01:43The prisoner will rise.
00:01:45Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty of willful murder?
00:01:49According to the evidence, we have no choice but to find the prisoner not guilty.
00:01:54So do we all find.
00:01:56And may God forgive us.
00:01:57Prisoner at the bar, you have heard the verdict.
00:02:02Under the law, no other verdict is possible.
00:02:05Yet it is undoubtedly a gross miscarriage of justice.
00:02:09It is deplorable, Professor Moriarty, that a man of your intellectual attainments
00:02:13should be standing in the prisoner's dock charged with the crime of murder.
00:02:17And in setting you free, I cannot in my conscience examinate you.
00:02:20Let the prisoner be discharged.
00:02:27Let him in!
00:02:29Let him in!
00:02:29Let him in!
00:02:31Lord!
00:02:31My lord, I have important new evidence.
00:02:36You come too late, Mr. Holmes.
00:02:38The prisoner has been discharged.
00:02:40But my lord, you can't let Moriarty go free.
00:02:42He killed Loray.
00:02:43I can prove it.
00:02:44I can destroy his alibi.
00:02:45That alibi has been established by 300 fellows of the Royal Society.
00:02:49Your lordship, my client has been acquitted.
00:02:51He cannot be tried twice on the same charge.
00:02:53Well, there you are, Holmes.
00:03:05I'm afraid you have a bad opinion of me.
00:03:07On the contrary, I hold you in the highest esteem.
00:03:09But only as a knave.
00:03:11It's gratifying to know that one's talents were appreciated
00:03:13by such a distinguished connoisseur.
00:03:16May I give you a lift to the cabs of scarcity, Miss Rand?
00:03:23221 Baker Street first.
00:03:26Very good, dear.
00:03:26After you, my dear Holmes.
00:03:27By no means.
00:03:28I prefer that you precede me at all times.
00:03:30Quite the creature of happy you are.
00:03:39You've a magnificent brain, Moriarty.
00:03:41I admire it.
00:03:43I admire it so much, I'd like to present it pickled in alcohol
00:03:46to the London Medical Society.
00:03:47That would make an interesting exhibit.
00:03:52Holmes.
00:03:53You've only now barely missed sending me to the gallows.
00:03:56You're the one man in England clever enough to defeat me.
00:03:59The situation has become impossible.
00:04:01Have you any suggestions?
00:04:03I'm going to break you, Holmes.
00:04:05I'm going to bring off right under your nose
00:04:07the most incredible crime of the century,
00:04:09and you'll never suspect it until it's too late.
00:04:12That will be the end of you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:04:17And when I've beaten and ruined you,
00:04:19then I can retire in peace.
00:04:21I'd like to retire.
00:04:23Crime no longer amuses me.
00:04:24I'd like to devote my remaining years to abstract science.
00:04:34Here we are at my lodgings.
00:04:36I'm so sorry I can't ask you in.
00:04:38Good night, Professor Moriarty.
00:04:40Good night.
00:04:41I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:44I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:44I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:45I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:46I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:47I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:48I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:49I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:50I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:51I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:52I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:53I'm so sorry I can't ask you in the middle of the night.
00:04:54THE END
00:05:24He was just coming in when you rang, sir.
00:05:26Well, there you are, Dawes.
00:05:27Mr. Bassick is here, sir.
00:05:29Now see him at once.
00:05:31Come to me as soon as he's gone, Dawes.
00:05:33There's something I want to say to you.
00:05:34Yes, sir.
00:05:54Well, Bassick?
00:06:01Don't that bloke never stop?
00:06:04That music gives me the creeps.
00:06:06Does it, Bassick?
00:06:07I rather like it.
00:06:09I want you to post that letter in the box at Portland Square just a few minutes before 12.
00:06:16Then drive directly to your lodgings by way of Oxford Circus.
00:06:20Wait there till I send for you.
00:06:22That's all.
00:06:23First I want you to know what I'm getting into.
00:06:25You have your orders.
00:06:26That's enough.
00:06:27I've got a right to know the layout in case there's trouble.
00:06:28I'll take care of that.
00:06:29That's what you promised Higgins in that Emmersmith job.
00:06:32Oh, poor Higgins.
00:06:33They found nothing but his boots.
00:06:34One boot?
00:06:35You know, Bassick, Higgins was a valuable man and a clever cracksman.
00:06:54But he had your unfortunate habit of asking too many questions.
00:06:58Now all that's left of him is one boot.
00:07:01Don't take me wrong, Professor.
00:07:03I'll do what you tell me right enough.
00:07:05I'm sure you will, Bassick.
00:07:07And just to prove how I trust you,
00:07:09I'm going to tell you my plan.
00:07:11Although you haven't the imagination
00:07:13to appreciate its subtlety.
00:07:15My whole success depends upon a peculiarity of Holmes' brain.
00:07:19Its perpetual restlessness.
00:07:21Its constant struggle to escape boredom.
00:07:23Holmes again?
00:07:25Always Holmes until the end.
00:07:27He's like a spoiled boy who picks watches to pieces,
00:07:31but loses interest in one toy as soon as he's given another.
00:07:35So I'm presenting the ingenious but fickle Mr. Holmes with two toys,
00:07:39in the order in which I mean him to have them.
00:07:42The first, that letter.
00:07:45If I know Mr. Holmes, that will interest him very little.
00:07:49After this comes to fascinate and tenderly.
00:07:53his imagination.
00:07:55Blimey, what's it mean?
00:07:57That is what I'm depending upon
00:07:59to absorb Mr. Holmes' interest
00:08:01when I'm engaged elsewhere.
00:08:03I'll give him a toy to delight his heart.
00:08:05So full of bizarre complications
00:08:07that he'll forget all about the first toy.
00:08:09That letter.
00:08:11What's in the letter, Professor?
00:08:13The germ of a car.
00:08:15I'll give him a toy to delight his heart.
00:08:17So full of bizarre complications
00:08:19that he'll forget all about the first toy.
00:08:21The germ of a crime, Bassick.
00:08:24A truly great crime.
00:08:26A crime that will stir the empire.
00:08:28The children will read about in their history books.
00:08:31And you're going to be part of it, Bassick.
00:08:41Off with you now.
00:08:51You wanted to see me, sir?
00:09:07I'm away for a few weeks, Dawes,
00:09:09and I come back to find my Anthurium magenta.
00:09:11My incomparable Anthurium magenta.
00:09:13Withered ruined.
00:09:14I can't understand it, sir.
00:09:16I took good care of all the plants.
00:09:17Did you water them?
00:09:18Every day, sir.
00:09:19Just as you told me, sir.
00:09:20Then how does it happen
00:09:21that I find a spider's web
00:09:22spun across the spout of the watering can?
00:09:24Well, that can happen overnight, sir.
00:09:26Overnight, huh?
00:09:27Then you didn't water them today.
00:09:28There's been so much to do, sir.
00:09:30Preparing for your coming back and all...
00:09:31Nothing is as important as the care of my flowers.
00:09:34Through your neglect, this flower has died.
00:09:36You've murdered a flower.
00:09:37Why, I'm sorry, sir.
00:09:39And to think that for merely murdering a man,
00:09:41I was incarcerated for six whole weeks
00:09:43in a filthy prison cell.
00:09:44A pity, sir.
00:09:45A travesty on justice.
00:09:46Quite so, sir.
00:09:47But for this crime, Dawes,
00:09:49you should be flogged, broken on the wheel,
00:09:52drawn and quartered.
00:09:53Yes, sir.
00:09:54Well, that'd be all, sir.
00:09:55And boiled in oil.
00:09:56Thank you, sir.
00:09:59Go away.
00:10:00Yes, sir.
00:10:09Thank you!
00:10:39Now, Billy, when you've finished sweeping, you can dust.
00:10:44Yes, sir.
00:10:55Now, Billy, when you've finished sweeping, you can dust.
00:10:58Yes, sir.
00:11:09Oh, good morning, Dr. Watson.
00:11:21Good morning, Mrs. Hudson. Is Mr. Howells in?
00:11:24You're all right, Hudson.
00:11:25Ah, good. Is he busy?
00:11:27Well, you might say he was busy, and then again you might say he was not busy.
00:11:31Huh? I say he was busy.
00:11:33Well, again, you must've...
00:11:34Oh, it's for God.
00:11:36Well, well, well, well, Billy.
00:11:39That's a fetching little frock that you're wearing.
00:11:41Mrs. Hudson made me put it on, sir.
00:11:43I was afraid Mr. Holmes or you would see me.
00:11:45I think it's very becoming.
00:11:51Come in, Watson.
00:12:04I trust I don't come in opportunity?
00:12:06My dear fellow, as if you ever could.
00:12:09Come on, pull up a chair.
00:12:10As a matter of fact, you're just in time to help me decide a matter which is certainly delicate and possibly of the gravest importance.
00:12:16Of course. Anything I can do.
00:12:18I received this note last night.
00:12:20My dear Mr. Holmes, I'm taking the liberty of calling on you at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:12:25That's very soon now.
00:12:27To ask you what may appear a silly question, whether or not I should go to a garden party on Saturday at Lady Conningham's.
00:12:32I beg you to see me. I'm in desperate need of advice. Sincerely yours, Anne Brandon.
00:12:39What do you make of it, Watson?
00:12:41Somebody's pulling your leg.
00:12:42No, no, no, no. I've checked on the young lady.
00:12:44She lives in town with her brother. She's very rich. Mining fortune.
00:12:47Her father died somewhat mysteriously about ten years ago.
00:12:50As for Miss Brandon's dilemma, Lady Conningham is eminently respectable, but she gives the kind of parties that one comes away from with a feeling that one hasn't been anywhere.
00:13:00Well, how can you trifle with such inconsequentialities when Moriarty's loose on London?
00:13:05My dear Watson, you astound me. It's the very inconsequentialities of Miss Brandon's message that engages my interest.
00:13:11But Moriarty, what of him?
00:13:13I've taken the most efficient steps of keeping in touch with Moriarty.
00:13:17You're having him followed.
00:13:18Oh, don't be so cruel, Watson.
00:13:20Well, what are you doing?
00:13:22Nothing.
00:13:24Nothing?
00:13:26My dear Watson, you needn't check me back as if I had an invoice.
00:13:29I said nothing.
00:13:31That's the best thing I can possibly do at the moment.
00:13:34Moriarty's as curious about my movements as I am about his.
00:13:39So I sit here and wait for him to come to me.
00:13:42And he'll come.
00:13:44Never doubt it.
00:13:47So you fiddle while Rome burns.
00:13:51A daring metaphor, Watson.
00:13:53And what are you doing with that infernal fiddle?
00:13:55And those flies?
00:13:57I was observing the reaction on the common housefly at the chromatic scale.
00:14:03A brilliant experiment.
00:14:04Yes, it will be.
00:14:05If I can find the note that annoys the housefly.
00:14:07Huh?
00:14:08Then one need only play that one note and psst.
00:14:10All the houseflies disappear.
00:14:12Amazing!
00:14:14No, no, no.
00:14:15Elementary, my dear Watson.
00:14:16Purely elementary.
00:14:17I expect that'll be the young lady.
00:14:20On the contrary, I suggest an elderly gentleman.
00:14:23Perhaps a touch of gout in his right leg.
00:14:26Sir Ronald, I'm delighted to see you.
00:14:28How do you do, Holmes?
00:14:29Let me take your hat and stick.
00:14:30Thank you, yes.
00:14:31I don't think you know Dr. Watson, do you?
00:14:32Watson, this is Sir Ronald Ramsgate, constable of the Tower of London,
00:14:34where all he has to do is to keep his eyes on the crown jewels.
00:14:36How do you do, sir?
00:14:37Holmes has often spoken of you, Dr. Watson.
00:14:38You haven't dropped in like this for a long time, Sir Ronald.
00:14:39Won't you sit down and have a cup of tea?
00:14:40Thank you, no, no, I've come to consult you on a rather peculiar matter.
00:14:55Now just have a look at that.
00:14:57Now, doesn't it strike you that the handwriting is...
00:14:58Yes, yes.
00:14:59That's because it's written with the left hand.
00:15:01Star of Delhi will never reach the Tower of London.
00:15:04Hmm.
00:15:05Curious.
00:15:06And anonymous.
00:15:07What is the Star of Delhi?
00:15:08Probably the largest emerald in the world.
00:15:09A gift to Her Majesty from the Maharaja of Rapua.
00:15:10Oh, I shouldn't worry about this, Sir Ronald.
00:15:11It's a typical crank letter, besides no professional thief,
00:15:12would risk stealing so famous an emerald.
00:15:13He can't break it up.
00:15:14He certainly couldn't sell it as it is.
00:15:15Perhaps not, but in my position of trust, I can't afford to take any chances.
00:15:16I wonder whether you could possibly manage to be unhappable,
00:15:17if you could possibly manage to be unhappable,
00:15:18if you could possibly be unhappable,
00:15:19if you could be unhappable,
00:15:20if you could be unhappable,
00:15:21if you could be unhappable,
00:15:22if you could be unhappable,
00:15:23when the jewel is delivered.
00:15:24When will that be?
00:15:25This weekend.
00:15:26It's coming on the cruiser Invincible.
00:15:27Well, Sir Ronald,
00:15:28even though I'm convinced that the threat means nothing,
00:15:30and that a routine police guard will be quite adequate,
00:15:32you can depend on me.
00:15:34Now I feel sure the jewel will be safe.
00:15:35Little enough to do for you, Sir Ronald.
00:15:37Excuse me.
00:16:07I don't know what you must think of me,
00:16:14but I'm sure I was followed here.
00:16:16You are Miss Brandon?
00:16:17Yes.
00:16:18I am Sherlock Holmes.
00:16:19Yes, I know.
00:16:20Let me introduce you to my associate,
00:16:21Dr. Watson.
00:16:22How do you do?
00:16:23Sir Ronald Ramsgate.
00:16:24Mr. Holmes, I...
00:16:25I...
00:16:26Well, I got what I wanted,
00:16:28so I think I'll be going along.
00:16:29Good day, Miss Brandon.
00:16:30Goodbye, Doctor.
00:16:31Goodbye, sir.
00:16:32May hat and stick, Sir Ronald.
00:16:34I'm depending on you.
00:16:36I'll not fail you.
00:16:37I'm sure of that.
00:16:38Goodbye, sir.
00:16:39Goodbye.
00:16:49Yes, Miss Brandon?
00:16:50Why, I...
00:16:51I shouldn't have written you as I did, Mr. Holmes,
00:16:53and then burst in in this melodramatic way,
00:16:55but I had to see you.
00:16:57Oh, that doesn't matter, Miss Brandon.
00:16:58There's no more resolutely informal household
00:17:00in all London than mine.
00:17:01You're very kind.
00:17:02Not at all.
00:17:03Only I don't understand why you wish to consult me
00:17:05about a garden party.
00:17:07You couldn't possibly find a worse guide to social etiquette.
00:17:10It's because my brother and Gerald Hunter,
00:17:12he's the family solicitor, insist on my going,
00:17:15and I don't want to.
00:17:16I don't want to.
00:17:18Yes, but how should I know how to advise you, Miss Brandon?
00:17:22Perhaps you should do as your brother
00:17:23and family solicitor suggest.
00:17:25Lady Conningham is eminently respectable.
00:17:27No.
00:17:28Oh, Mr. Holmes, I...
00:17:30I'm so frightened.
00:17:31What are you frightened of, Miss Brandon?
00:17:36Murder.
00:17:40Sit down, Miss Brandon.
00:17:45Now, suppose you tell us all about it.
00:17:48Well, this came for my brother, Lloyd, in the post two days ago.
00:18:07Hmm.
00:18:08There seems to be a field day for crank messages.
00:18:10Look at that, Watson.
00:18:11Hmm.
00:18:12Hmm.
00:18:13Curious?
00:18:14May the 11th.
00:18:15As today.
00:18:16My father received just such a note before he was murdered.
00:18:21Murdered?
00:18:22Murdered.
00:18:23Ten years ago on May the 11th.
00:18:25Scotland Yard couldn't make anything of it.
00:18:28But I saw him.
00:18:31My father.
00:18:32Lying there on the pavement.
00:18:34With the back of his head off.
00:18:42Tell me, Miss Brandon.
00:18:44Do you associate May the 11th with anything else besides your father's death?
00:18:47I mean, perhaps with some other incident in your family history?
00:18:50No.
00:18:51No, nothing.
00:18:52My family has no history.
00:18:54My father was a self-made man.
00:18:56I see.
00:18:57Oh, Mr. Holmes, you must save my brother.
00:18:59Don't let them kill him as they did my father.
00:19:09Gerald.
00:19:12It was very wrong of you to come here, Anne, after I expressly asked you not to.
00:19:17No more so than for you to follow me.
00:19:19Where's the paper you took off my desk?
00:19:21Here, in my hand.
00:19:22And I'll keep it until I find out what it means.
00:19:27I apologize for the intrusion, gentlemen.
00:19:29My name is Hunter.
00:19:30I'm the legal representative for Miss Brandon's brother.
00:19:33That note was placed confidentially in my keeping.
00:19:35It's of no concern to anybody except Mr. Brandon and myself.
00:19:38Murder is the concern of every right-minded person, Mr. Hunter.
00:19:42You make too much of a trifle.
00:19:44There's nothing trifling about murder.
00:19:46Miss Brandon fears this drawing may be a threat.
00:19:49Oh, she's been reading too many novels.
00:19:51It's merely some kind of joke or the work of a mental incompetent.
00:19:55Isn't it true, Mr. Hunter, that Miss Brandon's father received such a drawing before he was killed?
00:19:59Since my client attaches no significance to that, Mr. Holmes, I don't see why you should.
00:20:04It's pure coincidence.
00:20:05Yes.
00:20:07But it would be unfortunate if the coincidence turned into a tragedy, wouldn't it?
00:20:10That is our responsibility, Mr. Holmes.
00:20:12I regret that you've been troubled. I'll send you a cheque for your fee.
00:20:15As yet there is no fee. I haven't accepted the case.
00:20:18You see, Anne, you've only made yourself ridiculous.
00:20:21Well, if Mr. Holmes won't help me, I'll go to Scotland Yard.
00:20:25Won't you trust me, Anne?
00:20:27But, Gerald, there's too much at stake. My brother's life.
00:20:30Darling, you must trust me.
00:20:33If you don't, what's to happen to us?
00:20:35I don't know, Gerald. I daren't think.
00:20:43I've decided to accept your case, Miss Brandon. I shall help you all I can.
00:20:46Oh, thank you.
00:20:47We don't want your interference, Mr. Holmes.
00:20:49I interfere whenever and wherever I like, Mr. Hunter.
00:20:52I think you'd better go, Gerald.
00:20:53Come with me.
00:20:54No.
00:20:56Very well, if that's how you want it.
00:20:58Good day, gentlemen.
00:21:02Have I been very foolish, Mr. Holmes?
00:21:04I don't think so. May I keep that note?
00:21:07Yes, of course.
00:21:11It struck me that Mr. Hunter behaved rather curiously.
00:21:14Yes.
00:21:15It's my fiancée.
00:21:17I understand that.
00:21:18You've no idea what kind of bird this is supposed to be, have you?
00:21:21I don't know anything about birds.
00:21:23I notice that it isn't just a bird.
00:21:25It's a definite kind of bird.
00:21:27I think it belongs to the procellariforme family.
00:21:30Go to the Kensington Museum and look him up.
00:21:33I'd like you to come with me, Miss Brandon.
00:21:35Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Anything you say.
00:21:37Come in, Billy.
00:21:43Yes, Mr. Holmes?
00:21:44Well, Billy, I'd be obliged if you'd take this young lady down to Mrs. Hudson and give her a cup of tea.
00:21:47Yes, Mr. Holmes.
00:21:48Then, Billy, I want you to get me a cab.
00:21:50I know, sir. Not the first, not the second cab in the line, but the third.
00:21:53Well, I don't think that precaution would be necessary in this case, but use your own judgment.
00:21:57Yes, sir.
00:21:58By the way, Billy.
00:21:59Yes, sir.
00:22:00When you found that cab, you might remove the dust that you kicked under the rug on the landing.
00:22:11Billy's starting to take over my duties when I retire, Miss Brandon.
00:22:14I'll join you below in just a few minutes.
00:22:16I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:22:17Please don't try.
00:22:18Holmes, you can't get involved in this case. Your duty is to guard the Star of Delhi.
00:22:31What? Oh, oh, bother the Star of Delhi.
00:22:33What?
00:22:34Here's a case where a man's life may be involved, and there's something grotesque about this business.
00:22:38The young hunter knows a great deal more than he proposes to tell.
00:22:41Find out what you can about it, Willie Watson, and report to me at the museum.
00:22:44It's time for lunch.
00:22:45Lunch?
00:22:46One can have lunch any time.
00:22:47Oh, go on, Watson.
00:22:48Please, hurry up.
00:22:59You're certain there was no one who nursed a grievance against your father or your family?
00:23:02No, I've told you.
00:23:04My brother and I live very quietly.
00:23:06My father, well, I admit he was a hard man, but men who go out into new worlds have to be.
00:23:11But he was honorable and fine.
00:23:13And Mr. Hunter?
00:23:14We've known each other ever since we were children.
00:23:17My brother and I have always trusted him completely.
00:23:20Tell me, have you ever through your family or Mr. Hunter heard the name of a man called Moriarty?
00:23:27Moriarty?
00:23:28No.
00:23:29You're quite sure?
00:23:31Quite.
00:23:32Why do you ask?
00:23:33Somehow I had the feeling of renewing an old acquaintance.
00:23:37Here we are.
00:23:39Procelariforms, West Wing, Section 4A.
00:23:42END
00:23:57I'm sure everything will be taken care of to your satisfaction.
00:24:04I depend upon you implicitly.
00:24:07Well, there'll be no difficulties.
00:24:12I'm sure everything will be taken care of to your satisfaction.
00:24:15I depend upon you implicitly.
00:24:17Well, there'll be no difficulties.
00:24:27Let's go.
00:24:52Floyd. I thought you were asleep.
00:24:54How can I sleep with this threat over me?
00:24:56You've got to do something about it, Gerald.
00:24:58Who was that man here just now?
00:25:00A client.
00:25:01Who was he?
00:25:03See here, old man.
00:25:04You mustn't let yourself go like this.
00:25:06I know.
00:25:07I've been beastly nervey.
00:25:10I haven't slept a wink since that note came.
00:25:13You've got to sleep.
00:25:14You've got to keep your wits about you.
00:25:16This is May the 11th.
00:25:18The day on the paper.
00:25:20He's going to kill me, Gerald.
00:25:22Wherever I go,
00:25:24whatever I do,
00:25:26he's going to kill me.
00:25:30Is there nothing anyone can do about it?
00:25:40Why don't you go home and go to bed?
00:25:42You can't do yourself any good pacing my office.
00:25:44The safest place in London for you just now is your own home.
00:25:47Perhaps you're right.
00:25:49Anyhow, I can't go on like this.
00:25:51I'll go home.
00:25:57You come with me, Gerald.
00:25:59I'm afraid I can't, Lloyd.
00:26:01Probably wouldn't matter.
00:26:03If anything should happen to me,
00:26:05you look after Anne, won't you?
00:26:07Don't be absurd.
00:26:09Nothing's going to happen to you.
00:26:11But if it should...
00:26:13You know how I feel about Anne.
00:26:15Goodbye.
00:26:17Thanks.
00:26:19You'll be all right, Lloyd.
00:26:21This is just a bad dream.
00:26:25I think I'll walk home.
00:26:27Get some air.
00:26:28Why not?
00:26:29Nothing can happen to you on a public street.
00:26:31I hope you're right.
00:26:35Goodbye, Gerald.
00:26:36Goodbye, old man.
00:26:37See? The beak. The nostrils.
00:26:51The whole formation of the body is the same.
00:26:53In sea law, the companion of ships,
00:26:55and the good old men of honest mariners.
00:26:57But an angel of destruction to those who do him ill.
00:26:59The albatross.
00:27:01It looks the same.
00:27:02I wonder what it means.
00:27:03Are you certain that the albatross doesn't suggest
00:27:05some memory, some association with your family?
00:27:07Think.
00:27:08I am thinking.
00:27:09No, the only thing that the albatross doesn't suggest
00:27:10some memory, some association with your family.
00:27:12Think.
00:27:13I am thinking.
00:27:14No, the only thing it reminds me of is the poem.
00:27:17Water, water, everywhere.
00:27:20And all the boards did shrink.
00:27:21Water, water, everywhere.
00:27:23Nor any drop to drink.
00:27:24You've hit on it.
00:27:25And instead of the cross,
00:27:28the albatross about my neck was hung.
00:27:31I don't know what the albatross is.
00:27:33But I'm thinking.
00:27:34I don't know what the albatross is.
00:27:35Why don't you do?
00:27:36Why don't you do it?
00:27:37Why don't you do it?
00:27:38I don't know what the albatross was.
00:27:40I don't know what a cross is.
00:27:41I don't know what the albatross is.
00:27:42This is no childish prank, Miss Brandon,
00:27:44but a cryptic warning of avenging death.
00:27:46We must go to your brother at once.
00:27:48Holmes!
00:27:49Holmes!
00:27:50Come along, Watson, quick.
00:27:52But Holmes, this is important.
00:27:58Well, Watson, you're bursting with news.
00:28:00What is it, man?
00:28:01Speak up.
00:28:02We've no secrets from Miss Brandon.
00:28:04Moriarty.
00:28:06I knew it.
00:28:07What if you found out, Watson?
00:28:08That fellow Hunter is working with Moriarty.
00:28:10They were together in Hunter's office.
00:28:12I watched Moriarty leave.
00:28:13Excellent.
00:28:14And what did Mr. Hunter do then?
00:28:16I don't know.
00:28:17You don't know.
00:28:18Oh, I came away directly to tell you what I discovered.
00:28:22Well, I don't see me wrong.
00:28:24I hope not.
00:28:25I particularly wanted Mr. Hunter's movements kept in view today.
00:28:28So I?
00:28:30Mr. Holmes.
00:28:31Yes, Miss Brandon?
00:28:32Regardless of appearances, don't condemn Gerald too quickly.
00:28:34I know Mr. Holmes.
00:28:36Yes, Miss Brandon.
00:28:37I know he's keeping some secret from me, but he could never do anything vicious, I'm sure.
00:28:41I trust you're right, Miss Brandon.
00:28:42But we must be on our guard.
00:28:43But I was going to say, Holmes, that...
00:28:45Well, what were you about to say, Watson?
00:28:48Not here.
00:28:50Watson.
00:28:51Yes?
00:28:52I'm afraid you're an incorrigible bungler.
00:28:54Not here.
00:28:55Watson.
00:28:56Watson.
00:28:57Yes?
00:28:58I'm afraid you're an incorrigible bungler.
00:29:01I'm afraid you're an incorrigible bungler.
00:29:03I'm afraid I am.
00:29:05Mr. Holmes, I wish he could go faster.
00:29:15He's going as fast as he can, my dear.
00:29:18Oh, Mr. Holmes, I wish he could go faster.
00:29:29He's going as fast as he can, my dear.
00:29:48Oh, Mr. Holmes, I wish he could go faster.
00:30:18Oh, Mr. Holmes, will we be in time?
00:30:47I'm sure you will, Miss Bramman.
00:30:57He's dead, all right.
00:30:59Lloyd!
00:31:01Lloyd!
00:31:02Oh, Mr. Holmes, could I give you an answer?
00:31:17No, thank you.
00:31:17I can manage all right.
00:31:22Oh, Miss Anne.
00:31:23She's only fainted.
00:31:24Take care of her, will you, Watson?
00:31:25Get me some smelling salts.
00:31:28Yes, sir.
00:31:29Where's Inspector Bristol?
00:31:30In there.
00:31:31I don't know you ought to go in.
00:31:32He's questioning a witness, and you know the inspector.
00:31:34I'll take the responsibility.
00:31:39Oh, it's you, Mr. Holmes.
00:31:41How do you come to be here?
00:31:43It just happens to be passing.
00:31:44I know the family.
00:31:45How are you, Mr. Hunter?
00:31:46And you, Inspector?
00:31:47I don't know how much you know about this business, Mr. Holmes,
00:31:51but this time, I'm a little bit ahead of you.
00:31:55Excellent, Bristol.
00:31:56Then you've already solved the crime?
00:31:58I found the murderer.
00:32:00Yes, but that's not quite the same thing, you know.
00:32:01I didn't kill Lloyd Brandon.
00:32:04Has anyone said you did?
00:32:06Oh, it's plain enough what's in the inspector's mind.
00:32:09And he's wrong.
00:32:10While he's wasted time badgering me, the murderer's got away.
00:32:12Well, if you're so anxious to save my time,
00:32:17supposing you explain how you came to be found
00:32:20bending over the corpse with this in your hand,
00:32:23and him with his head bashed in.
00:32:29Well, if you won't talk,
00:32:31I'm going to hold you on suspicion of murder.
00:32:35I didn't kill him, I tell you.
00:32:36You clubbed him to death
00:32:38with the butt-end of this revolver from behind.
00:32:41I wouldn't go too far along that line, Inspector.
00:32:43Then what would you propose that I should do, Mr. Holmes?
00:32:46Find the murderer.
00:32:47What?
00:32:49If that man didn't club Lloyd Brandon to death,
00:32:52who did?
00:32:53Nobody.
00:32:54What?
00:32:55Brandon was strangled to death.
00:32:57Strangled?
00:32:57Yes.
00:32:58The wounds on the back of his head
00:32:59were administered post-mortem.
00:33:01Are you sure of that, Miss Rose?
00:33:03Absolutely.
00:33:04Talk to the medical examiner if you have any doubts.
00:33:09You wait here.
00:33:11How do you know he was strangled?
00:33:14The marks were on the neck.
00:33:15Cigarette, Mr. Hunter?
00:33:16No, thanks.
00:33:17So that blow on the back of the neck
00:33:18becomes an interesting element.
00:33:21It was unnecessary, therefore vicious.
00:33:23Intelligent criminals are seldom vicious,
00:33:25except on special occasions.
00:33:29Though the apparent method of the crime was brutal,
00:33:31I'm convinced that the crime itself
00:33:33was intelligently planned.
00:33:35And Bristol thinks I did that.
00:33:36The nose of the police dog,
00:33:39although long and deficient,
00:33:41points in only one direction at a time.
00:33:42What do you mean?
00:33:43Simply that you're the obvious suspect.
00:33:46It's so ridiculous.
00:33:48Why should I want to kill him?
00:33:50You should know that better than anyone else,
00:33:52Mr. Hunter.
00:33:53You're his lawyer.
00:33:54You manage the estate.
00:33:57You'll have to explain that, Mr. Holmes.
00:33:59The Brandon estate is quite considerable.
00:34:02Miss Anne inherits,
00:34:02and you're about to marry Miss Anne.
00:34:04Why, you...
00:34:05I was merely demonstrating
00:34:06how the police mind works.
00:34:08Yes, I'm afraid our friend the inspector
00:34:11has quite set his heart on arresting you.
00:34:14Arresting me?
00:34:15Well, you mustn't allow them to do that, Mr. Holmes.
00:34:17I must be left free to protect Anne.
00:34:20From what, Gerald?
00:34:27Answer me.
00:34:32Anne, I'm sorry.
00:34:37First they murdered my father,
00:34:40and now they've murdered Lloyd.
00:34:44Do they want to kill me too?
00:34:47I don't know.
00:34:50I don't know anything anymore.
00:34:51I did my best to guard him day and night,
00:34:53yet they found him all the same.
00:34:54They're in an empty street.
00:34:57Oh, I may have lost him for a moment,
00:34:58but I couldn't have been far behind.
00:35:01Who are they?
00:35:02Gerald, you're lying.
00:35:08You've been lying all the time.
00:35:10You knew from the first
00:35:11that note was a real threat.
00:35:13That's why you tried to send me away.
00:35:14Why you followed Lloyd.
00:35:16Oh, Jerry, if you know who killed him,
00:35:17why won't you tell us?
00:35:19Why won't you tell us everything?
00:35:22I'll tell you why.
00:35:24I've been watching you, Mr. Hunter,
00:35:26and I found out that...
00:35:27What have you found out, Dr. Watson?
00:35:29Whatever Watson has found out,
00:35:30you'll know inevitably.
00:35:31I have unbounded confidence
00:35:34in his lack of discretion.
00:35:35Meanwhile, time presses,
00:35:36and we've worked to do outside
00:35:37before it gets too late.
00:35:38Mr. Holmes.
00:35:39Excuse us.
00:35:44You pushed me out of the room
00:35:45as if I were a child.
00:35:46What am I to make of this, Holmes?
00:35:48Anything but such a petulant face,
00:35:49old fellow.
00:35:50Come along.
00:35:51In another moment,
00:35:52I would have made you confess
00:35:53about Moriarty.
00:35:54That's exactly what I didn't want.
00:35:56If Moriarty's behind this case,
00:35:57Hunter will lead us to him.
00:35:58Oh, Mr. Holmes.
00:35:59I was just coming to find you, sir.
00:36:01Have you seen the body?
00:36:03He was strangled to death, sir.
00:36:05Just as you and I thought.
00:36:07So now,
00:36:08I'm going to arrest this fellow Hunter,
00:36:10take him down to the yard.
00:36:12I can really question him there.
00:36:14And I thought perhaps
00:36:15you'd like to come along, sir.
00:36:17No, I think not, Inspector.
00:36:18Dr. Watson and I are going across the way
00:36:20to take a look at the scene of the crime.
00:36:22You'll be wasting your time, sir.
00:36:24My men have already covered the ground.
00:36:26Well, we'll just take a look all the same.
00:36:27Incidentally, Inspector,
00:36:28if I were you,
00:36:29I shouldn't arrest Mr. Hunter.
00:36:31In any case, not now.
00:36:32And I shouldn't question him any further.
00:36:34Why not?
00:36:34Well, he won't get us anywhere.
00:36:36He won't talk until he's ready.
00:36:38And anyhow,
00:36:38you haven't a case against him yet.
00:36:41Why not leave him at large?
00:36:43Have him watched
00:36:44and see what happens
00:36:45for a day or two at least.
00:36:47Hmm.
00:36:48You've always found my advice
00:36:49pretty sound, haven't you, Inspector?
00:36:51And it's got you a lot of attention
00:36:53in the newspapers.
00:36:54Then you'll work on the case, sir?
00:36:56In the usual way?
00:36:58In the usual way, Inspector.
00:37:00I'll do as you suggest, sir.
00:37:02Good. Come along, Watson.
00:37:10Come in.
00:37:13Oh, Mr. Hunter,
00:37:14no, we shan't be wanting you any longer.
00:37:17You're free to go whenever you like.
00:37:19Thank you, Inspector.
00:37:21You see, darling,
00:37:22they don't think anything of the kind.
00:37:25Anne,
00:37:26you must believe me.
00:37:33Oh, I...
00:37:34I don't know what to believe in
00:37:36now that Lloyd's gone.
00:37:37If I can't believe in you, Gerald,
00:37:40there's nothing in the whole world
00:37:42I can believe in or count on.
00:37:43Dearest.
00:37:49But if you knew Lloyd was in danger,
00:37:52why did you try to keep me
00:37:53from seeing Sherlock Holmes?
00:37:55Why did you follow Lloyd
00:37:57with a revolver in your pocket?
00:38:01Makes me afraid sometimes
00:38:02even of you.
00:38:04Darling,
00:38:06how can you say such a thing?
00:38:09Oh,
00:38:09I...
00:38:11I don't know what I'm saying.
00:38:15I'm so tired and confused.
00:38:20All right, Holmes.
00:38:21I've found it.
00:38:30Ready when you are.
00:38:31I say there,
00:38:46has something happened?
00:38:47Definitely.
00:38:49Would you mind moving back
00:38:50a few places?
00:38:51Not at all.
00:38:57Perhaps I can find a doctor.
00:38:59I'm a doctor.
00:39:00What's the matter with you?
00:39:01I'm all right.
00:39:03I was thinking of you.
00:39:04Why?
00:39:07But...
00:39:07But aren't you ill?
00:39:10Certainly not.
00:39:11I'm dead.
00:39:16Well,
00:39:17I'm afraid I must be getting on.
00:39:19Don't let me detain you.
00:39:23Cupid, hello.
00:39:24Watson, come here.
00:39:27Coming, Holmes.
00:39:36Look at that, Watson.
00:39:39What have you found, Holmes?
00:39:41Footprints?
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:42A club-footed man,
00:39:44about five foot eleven,
00:39:45I should say,
00:39:47from the length of his stride.
00:39:48Do you observe anything singular
00:39:50about these footprints, Watson?
00:39:52I can't say that I do.
00:39:53Club-footed people invariably
00:39:54bring their full weight down
00:39:55on the toe.
00:39:56If you look closely,
00:39:57you'll observe that the weight
00:39:57of a man who made these footprints
00:39:59is normally balanced
00:40:00from toe to heel.
00:40:01What do you make of that, Holmes?
00:40:03Oh, just one more unnatural element
00:40:05in this rather peculiar case.
00:40:07The club-foot must have
00:40:07some other compensating deformity
00:40:09to explain these footprints.
00:40:11What?
00:40:11You think these are the footprints
00:40:12of a murderer?
00:40:13It's possible.
00:40:16Yes.
00:40:17Yes, it's quite possible.
00:40:19What, Holmes?
00:40:20Well, a man standing just about here
00:40:21would command a view of the path.
00:40:23He might project some kind of weapon.
00:40:25No other weapon's been found
00:40:26except Hunter's revolver.
00:40:27It could easily have been retrieved
00:40:28in the excitement.
00:40:29But what kind of weapon
00:40:30thrown from here
00:40:30could both strangle a man
00:40:31and crush his skull in?
00:40:33If we knew that, my dear Watson,
00:40:34we'd be a great deal nearer
00:40:35to the solution of the crime.
00:40:37Look at that.
00:40:48Yes.
00:40:51Yes, that was torn from that tree.
00:40:53Perhaps by something hurtling past.
00:40:56It must have not dry yet.
00:40:58That means it was torn off
00:40:59within the last few hours.
00:41:03Ah.
00:41:04What do you find, Holmes?
00:41:06It's a watch for.
00:41:07Looks like a rabbit's foot.
00:41:09No, no, no.
00:41:10It's a chinchilla.
00:41:11Unquestionably chinchilla.
00:41:12Well, rabbit or chinchilla,
00:41:14what's it matter?
00:41:15Well, no, no.
00:41:16Perhaps it doesn't matter at all,
00:41:17Watson.
00:41:17We'll see.
00:41:18I've always thought those things
00:41:20in very poor taste.
00:41:21Fancy going about
00:41:22with a dead animal's foot
00:41:23dangling from your pocket.
00:41:25Yes.
00:41:25And then losing it
00:41:26at the scene of the murder.
00:41:27Very careless.
00:41:28Very careless.
00:41:28Thank you, sir.
00:41:29Thank you, sir.
00:41:29Thank you, sir.
00:41:30Thank you, sir.
00:41:31Thank you, sir.
00:41:31Thank you, sir.
00:41:32Thank you, sir.
00:41:32Thank you, sir.
00:41:33Thank you, sir.
00:41:33Thank you, sir.
00:41:34Thank you, sir.
00:41:34Thank you, sir.
00:41:35Thank you, sir.
00:41:35Thank you, sir.
00:41:36Thank you, sir.
00:41:36Thank you, sir.
00:41:37Thank you, sir.
00:41:38Thank you, sir.
00:41:38Thank you, sir.
00:41:39Thank you, sir.
00:41:40Thank you, sir.
00:41:41Thank you, sir.
00:41:41Thank you, sir.
00:41:42Thank you, sir.
00:41:43Thank you, sir.
00:41:44Thank you, sir.
00:41:45Thank you, sir.
00:41:46Thank you, sir.
00:41:47Thank you, sir.
00:41:48Thank you, sir.
00:41:49Thank you, sir.
00:43:50I'm so glad you're here.
00:43:51This may sound foolish to you, but after Mr. Hunter left, I went up to be with my brother.
00:43:58While I was with him, I heard...
00:44:00Yes?
00:44:01The sound of music from the street.
00:44:05Strange music.
00:44:07It didn't begin and...
00:44:08It didn't end.
00:44:09It just went on and on.
00:44:11What was it about the music that frightened you?
00:44:14I heard it once before, Mr. Holmes.
00:44:17Only once, when I was a little girl in South America.
00:44:21The night my father was killed.
00:44:23It's quite possible that under the circumstances, this impression was a hallucination.
00:44:28This was no hallucination, Dr. Watson.
00:44:30Take my word for it.
00:44:31Did you see who was playing?
00:44:34I went to the window.
00:44:35There was a street beggar standing in front of the house.
00:44:40Could just see the outline of his figure.
00:44:43And then I became so frightened, I screamed and...
00:44:45Yes, I don't wonder.
00:44:46You think you could remember that, Melody?
00:44:55Remember it?
00:44:56She'll never forget it as long as I live.
00:44:59Miss Brandon, I wish I could spare you this, but time is so important.
00:45:02I understand.
00:45:03What do you want me to do?
00:45:05It's not going to be easy.
00:45:06Anything if it'll help you clear up my brother's death.
00:45:11Do you think you could bear to repeat it for me?
00:45:16I'll try.
00:45:46There's death in every note of it.
00:46:08Mr. Holmes, would you mind going now, please?
00:46:10Yes, yes, of course.
00:46:12You must try to get some sleep.
00:46:13It's been a terrible day for you.
00:46:16Thank you, Billy.
00:46:45Yes, Mr. Holmes.
00:46:56What's that, Mr. Holmes?
00:46:58Hmm?
00:46:59Yeah, that's a chinchilla foot, Billy.
00:47:02Chinchilla?
00:47:02Yeah.
00:47:03You know what a chinchilla is.
00:47:05Yes, Mr. Holmes.
00:47:06It's a little animal that grows in South America.
00:47:08And its fur is very expensive.
00:47:10Ah, you should remember that, Billy.
00:47:11It'll save you a lot of money when you grow up.
00:47:14May I look at it, sir?
00:47:16Yes, certainly, Billy.
00:47:20Well, what do you make of it, Billy?
00:47:22Blimey.
00:47:22I'd like to have one of these.
00:47:24They must bring you lots of luck.
00:47:25Well, why do you say that?
00:47:26Well, I bet in Chile or Bolivia, they carry around a chinchilla's foot for good luck.
00:47:31The same as we carry a rabbit's foot.
00:47:33You hear that, Watson?
00:47:34My hearing is in no way impaired, thank you.
00:47:38And you think that the man who lost this comes from Chile or Bolivia?
00:47:40Yes, sir, because that's the only places chinchillas grow.
00:47:44There, Watson.
00:47:45What do you say to that for a simple deduction?
00:47:46I've listened to seashells that made better sense.
00:47:49Why do you waste your time like this, Holmes?
00:47:51Half the women in the world own chinchilla wraps.
00:47:53You exaggerate, Watson, and half the women in the world wish you didn't.
00:47:56No, Dr. Watson.
00:47:57You see, they make the coats out of skins.
00:47:59Oh, really?
00:48:00Yes, sir.
00:48:01And the only place you could get a chinchilla's foot would be where the chinchilla lives.
00:48:05There, Billy, there's sixpence for you.
00:48:07Blimey, a ten.
00:48:08Oh, thank you.
00:48:09Oh, thank you, Billy.
00:48:10Hey, thank you.
00:48:13I don't know why you let that insufferable little brat come in here.
00:48:18I was pulling your leg, Watson.
00:48:21Merely relaying to you through Billy certain observations which may or may not coincide significantly with what I found.
00:48:28You found something?
00:48:28I think so.
00:48:30I've identified the death music, Watson.
00:48:32The melody Miss Brandon played for us last night.
00:48:35It's an ancient Inca funeral dirge.
00:48:38Still used by the Indians in the remote Chilean Andes as a chant for the dead.
00:48:43What on earth has that got to do with Professor Moriarty?
00:48:46Or the Star of Jelly?
00:48:47I wouldn't know, Watson.
00:48:48I really wouldn't know.
00:48:50Would you mind?
00:48:51Think of a few olders.
00:48:58Ah, how's it do, Doctor?
00:48:59How are you, sir?
00:49:00Holmes.
00:49:00How lucky to find you at home.
00:49:02Sir Ronald.
00:49:04Well, won't you, won't you sit down?
00:49:05Oh, thank you.
00:49:06Here you are, sir.
00:49:07Thanks.
00:49:07Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting you.
00:49:10Oh, no, no, no.
00:49:11But I'm very anxious to know.
00:49:13Have you had any idea in connection with that note?
00:49:16A note?
00:49:17Oh, I'm afraid I haven't had much time to think about it.
00:49:19After all, the Star of Jelly is not an immediate problem.
00:49:22Oh, but it is.
00:49:23You will help me as you promised, won't you, Holmes?
00:49:25Imagine the scandal.
00:49:27If anything should happen to a crown jewel.
00:49:29Yes.
00:49:30When, um, when does it arrive?
00:49:32Tomorrow night.
00:49:33I've had to arrange for delivery at ten o'clock.
00:49:35Most inconvenient hour for everyone, of course.
00:49:38But I can't leave the jewel out of the vault overnight, you know.
00:49:41Once it arrives, it's technically in my custody.
00:49:43Yes.
00:49:45Yes, I understand.
00:49:45Um, what do you want me to do?
00:49:48Well, could you possibly be at the tower tomorrow night at ten?
00:49:51Yeah, I'll take care of everything.
00:49:53Good.
00:49:53You'll have your own men there, of course.
00:49:54And as an added precaution, I'll see to it that a few policemen are on hand.
00:49:58Excellent.
00:49:59I can't tell you how grateful I am to you, Holmes.
00:50:01Not at all, sir Ronald.
00:50:02Oh, dear, goodbye.
00:50:02Goodbye, sir.
00:50:03You'll forgive me bothering you like this, but I'm sure you understand the emergency of the matter.
00:50:08Certainly, sir Ronald.
00:50:08Well, thank you again.
00:50:10Goodbye, doctor.
00:50:10Goodbye, sir Ronald.
00:50:11Goodbye.
00:50:11Goodbye.
00:50:21Oh, how do you do, Miss Brendan?
00:50:23How do you do?
00:50:23Will you excuse me, please?
00:50:28Port Authority, Pier 9.
00:50:32Miss Brendan, is anything wrong?
00:50:43Two are not enough.
00:50:45They don't even give me time to bury my dead.
00:50:50Please sit down.
00:50:53No, I don't want to sit down, thank you.
00:50:55This is exactly like the drawing your brother received.
00:50:57When he bears another date.
00:50:59May the 13th, that's tomorrow.
00:51:01Was this left at your door?
00:51:02Yes, about half an hour ago.
00:51:03I came here directly.
00:51:04You didn't happen to notice the messenger who left it?
00:51:06No, one of the servants answered the door.
00:51:08He just took it.
00:51:09He didn't notice anything.
00:51:11Oh, Mr. Holmes, what shall I do?
00:51:12Isn't May the 13th the night you're supposed to go to Lady Conningham's party?
00:51:17Yes, but...
00:51:18I know Lady Conningham is irreproachable, but...
00:51:20But there's too much emphasis on this date, May the 13th.
00:51:23Whether you should go to the party or whether you shouldn't.
00:51:25You mean...
00:51:26Gerald?
00:51:27Miss Brendan, we feel that...
00:51:28Here.
00:51:35Mr. Hunter has much to explain, Miss Brendan.
00:51:38But as yet he has not been proved guilty.
00:51:39But I must know.
00:51:41You really want to know?
00:51:44I must.
00:51:45I'll do anything rather than bear this uncertainty.
00:51:49This suspense.
00:51:50Then go to Lady Conningham's party.
00:51:53But...
00:51:54But I can't.
00:51:57Not now.
00:51:58After Lloyd.
00:51:59I understand your feelings, but you must go to Lady Conningham's just the same.
00:52:02She's an older woman.
00:52:03She's very fond of you.
00:52:05Now you're alone in a time of trouble.
00:52:06What more natural than that you should go to her?
00:52:09But she's giving a party.
00:52:11And...
00:52:11And my brother's...
00:52:12You'll only have to make an appearance.
00:52:14Yes, but...
00:52:15That's what I want, Miss Brendan.
00:52:17I want you to make an appearance.
00:52:20Perhaps take a walk through the grounds.
00:52:22I warn you, it may involve considerable risk.
00:52:24But I think the kind of woman I take you to be would rather risk everything on one venture
00:52:28than live the rest of her life in the shadow of doubt.
00:52:31And death.
00:52:33Am I right?
00:52:33You are right, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:36I'll do as you say.
00:52:39And goodbye.
00:52:40No.
00:52:41This time we'll say au revoir.
00:52:44Miss Brendan.
00:52:45Yes?
00:52:48You're quite sure you're not afraid?
00:52:51Of course I'm afraid.
00:52:52But I'll go through with it.
00:52:53Good.
00:52:53May the 13th.
00:53:04That's tomorrow night.
00:53:06Well, Holmes, you'll certainly let yourself in for a busy night tomorrow.
00:53:09What about the Star of Delhi and your promise to Sir Arnold?
00:53:12And what about your duty to the Crown?
00:53:14All that will be taken care of.
00:53:15Never fear.
00:53:16I'm going to delegate the most dependable man I know to guard the Star of Delhi in my place
00:53:20while I keep an eye on Miss Brendan.
00:53:21Oh, really?
00:53:22And who may that be?
00:53:24You, my dear fellow.
00:53:27Huh?
00:53:36You'd like to let that razor slip, wouldn't you, Dawes?
00:53:39No, sir.
00:53:39By no means, sir.
00:53:41You're a coward, Dawes.
00:53:45If you weren't a coward, you'd have cut my throat long ago.
00:53:47Why, I give you my word, sir.
00:53:49Well, that thought never entered my mind, sir.
00:53:54Then you're worse than a coward.
00:53:55You're a fool.
00:53:57You have as much hatred for me as I have contempt for you.
00:54:04Excellent.
00:54:05Without your beard, sir, you look like your own son.
00:54:19It's unlikely that I should be back tonight, Dawes.
00:54:22We may as well take the evening off.
00:54:23Thank you, sir.
00:54:24Thank you, Dawes.
00:54:36I'm engaged.
00:54:37Of course you are, Bassick.
00:54:39Why do you think I'm paying you?
00:54:40I never would have recognized you, Professor.
00:54:55Yes, sir?
00:54:57What did you find out, Bassick?
00:54:58Just like you said.
00:55:00They're taking the goods off the boat tonight.
00:55:01The men is waiting.
00:55:03Excellent.
00:55:03Now let's hurry.
00:55:05Yes, sir.
00:55:05Hello, darling.
00:55:17Are you feeling all right, my child?
00:55:18Yes, I think so.
00:55:20And has that young son of mine been behaving himself?
00:55:22He's been awfully kind.
00:55:24I'm afraid I'm very tiresome this evening.
00:55:26Nonsense.
00:55:27No man on the bright side of senility could possibly call you tiresome.
00:55:31Anne, you're glad you came, aren't you?
00:55:34Very glad.
00:55:36Good.
00:55:37You see, I was right.
00:55:39It was quite the best thing for you to do, to come down here.
00:55:42You shouldn't have thought of staying alone in that house so soon after.
00:55:47Perhaps you're right.
00:55:49You're going to stay on here over the weekend.
00:55:51If you want me.
00:55:53As long as you like, my dear.
00:55:57Has anyone asked for me tonight?
00:55:59Why, no.
00:56:00Are you expecting someone?
00:56:02No, I'm not sure.
00:56:03It doesn't matter.
00:56:05Oh, mother, may I take Anne away?
00:56:07I wanted to see some of this entertainment.
00:56:09Of course, dear.
00:56:09I hope it will be good.
00:56:11Sit here, Anne.
00:56:13I want you to see this music hall chap.
00:56:15He may be amusing.
00:56:15Everyone delights to spend their summer holiday down beside the side of the Silvery Sea.
00:56:28I'm no exception to the rule.
00:56:30In fact, if I'd my way, I'd preside for the side of the Silvery Sea.
00:56:34But when you're just the common or garden, Smith or Jones or Brown, and business up in town, you've got to settle down.
00:56:43You save up all the money you can till summer comes around.
00:56:47Then away you go, to a spot you know, where the cockle shells are found.
00:56:56And now I do like to be beside the seaside.
00:57:02I do like to be beside the sea.
00:57:06I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom, where the frost bear plays.
00:57:12Ting-yum-pong!
00:57:14So just let me be beside the seaside.
00:57:17I'll be beside meself with glee.
00:57:21For there's lots of girls beside.
00:57:23I should like to be beside.
00:57:25Beside the seaside.
00:57:27Beside the sea.
00:57:39Funny fellow, isn't he?
00:57:40Yes.
00:57:42Anne, I wish there was something I could do.
00:57:45Could I get you an ice?
00:57:46You're very kind to me.
00:57:48I'd like that.
00:57:49Right.
00:57:49You stay here.
00:57:50I'll see what I can pillage.
00:57:51It'll be straight back.
00:58:02Good evening, Miss Brendan.
00:58:03Everything all right?
00:58:06What do you want?
00:58:08You did have an appointment, you know.
00:58:16Mr. Holmes, I...
00:58:18We mustn't be seen together.
00:58:25Has anything happened?
00:58:26Have you seen anything unusual?
00:58:27No, nothing yet.
00:58:28Mr. Holmes, do you think I could possibly be in danger here?
00:58:31There's no doubt of it, but don't worry.
00:58:33I'll be watching.
00:58:34I'll be careful when it's over.
00:58:35Yes, I know.
00:58:36Don't take any unnecessary risks.
00:58:38Don't talk to strange people, and above all,
00:58:39don't wander far from the lights in the crowd.
00:58:41All right, you must go back.
00:58:43Good luck.
00:59:05Here we are, Ann.
00:59:06Oh, thank you.
00:59:08Tony, that's a South American gacha orchestra, isn't it?
00:59:12Yes, rather good, aren't they?
00:59:14Yes.
00:59:16Shall we go in?
00:59:16It's rather chilly out here.
00:59:18Just as you like, Ann.
00:59:29You're being too hard on Holmes, Ron.
00:59:31He gave me his word he'd be here, sir.
00:59:33He sent me in this place?
00:59:35You!
00:59:36Well, sir, I've been with Holmes on a good many cases,
00:59:39and I can assure you you might have done considerably worse.
00:59:42I do say you might have.
00:59:44Where, at least, are the policemen he promised to send me?
00:59:46They'll be here directly.
00:59:47A sergeant and two policemen.
00:59:49Picked men, sir.
00:59:52What is it, sergeant?
00:59:53Police officers to see Dr. Watson, sir.
00:59:55Bring the men.
00:59:57About time.
01:00:01Dr. Watson here?
01:00:02Yes.
01:00:03I am Dr. Watson.
01:00:04Sergeant Bullfinch, at your service, sir.
01:00:06Good evening, sir.
01:00:06May I see your identification, sir?
01:00:08I told you.
01:00:09I am Dr. Watson.
01:00:10I don't doubt that, sir,
01:00:11but the inspector said I was to be particular about identification, sir.
01:00:18You seem to be a law-abiding citizen.
01:00:20I suppose you'll be wanting to see mine.
01:00:22Yes, please.
01:00:23Everything seems in order, sir, Ronald.
01:00:39Car, turn out!
01:00:41Halt!
01:00:42Halt!
01:00:43Halt!
01:00:44Halt!
01:00:44Halt!
01:00:45Halt!
01:00:45Halt!
01:00:46Captain Manoring, Royal Navy, with escort reporting to Sir Ronald Ramsgate.
01:00:50Just a moment, sergeant.
01:00:53Is that you, Sir Ronald?
01:00:54Yes.
01:00:54Captain Manoring?
01:00:55Yes, sir.
01:00:56Raise the portcullis.
01:01:03Well, here it is, Sir Ronald.
01:01:05Ah.
01:01:06The Star of Delhi.
01:01:07This has been a great anxiety to me, Captain Manoring.
01:01:13I can't tell you how relieved I shall be
01:01:15when I have this jewel safely locked up in the tower.
01:01:18Would you like us to go with you, sir?
01:01:19No, there's no occasion.
01:01:20I have ample protection.
01:01:21Then I'll bid you goodbye, Sir Ronald.
01:01:23Goodbye, Captain Manoring.
01:01:24I'm most grateful to you.
01:01:26Thank you, sir.
01:01:27Gentlemen.
01:01:28All right, Captain Wilson.
01:01:29Guard!
01:01:30About turn!
01:01:31Halt!
01:01:31Halt!
01:01:37That's the longest short walk I ever had.
01:02:03Hold that for a moment, will you?
01:02:05The crown's yours, gentlemen.
01:02:07The accumulated wealth of ten centuries of English kings.
01:02:11A grave responsibility.
01:02:13It's not often this door is unlocked,
01:02:15and this is the key to all this treasure.
01:02:20Now!
01:02:21The crown's the emerald!
01:02:35The emerald!
01:02:36Where is he?
01:02:36Come on!
01:02:37I told you, somebody's snatched him!
01:02:38The policemen, where are they?
01:02:39They're not policemen at all.
01:02:41After them!
01:02:44Sergeant, there, Captain.
01:02:49Sir Ronald, look!
01:02:50The Star of Deadly, they dropped it!
01:02:56You see, Sir Ronald, everything's turned out all right after all.
01:03:02Small thanks to your brilliant friend, Sherlock Holmes.
01:03:04So my fears were ridiculous, and that note was merely the work of a crank.
01:03:08Nobody would steal the Star of Deadly.
01:03:10No one there, Sir Ronald.
01:03:10Oh, never mind, Sergeant.
01:03:12I have the jewel.
01:03:17I have a good mind to give this story to the press.
01:03:19It would put Holmes in his place.
01:03:21Oh, I wouldn't do that, Sir Ronald.
01:03:23You have got the jewel back.
01:03:24Oh, I have indeed.
01:03:25As safe as the crown jewels of England.
01:03:28But no thanks to Holmes.
01:03:29Well, he did send me in his place.
01:03:31Yes, to the capital thing he did.
01:03:33You're a splendid fellow, Watson.
01:03:34You've done me a great service tonight.
01:03:37I shall see to it that your conduct is reported in due cost to the proper authority.
01:03:43Come on, Sergeant.
01:03:44Turn out the light.
01:03:44Yes, sir.
01:03:45They got away, sir, from the direction of Tower Hill.
01:03:48But they left what they came for.
01:03:49The emerald is safe.
01:03:51Oh, good, sir.
01:03:52All right, Sergeant.
01:03:59Let's go.
01:04:29Goodbye, my dear.
01:04:43I'll drive over and see you tomorrow.
01:04:47You're terribly tired, my child, aren't you?
01:04:49Yes, I am.
01:04:50You'd better go to bed.
01:04:52I'm going to look in on you later.
01:04:54And if you're not asleep, I shall be very severe.
01:04:59Whatever is the matter with you, my dear?
01:05:02I just noticed the time.
01:05:04A clock on the landing.
01:05:06Seven minutes to twelve.
01:05:08In another eight minutes, it won't be May the 13th anymore.
01:05:11You must go to bed at once.
01:05:13You really must.
01:05:14I'll go with you.
01:05:14I'd like you to.
01:05:16Only, I shouldn't take you away.
01:05:18Nonsense.
01:05:19They've all gone.
01:05:20Besides, no one misses a middle-aged hostess.
01:05:28Have a good rest, my dear, and be sure to sleep late.
01:05:30It's an inviolable custom of the house.
01:05:33I'll try.
01:05:34Good night.
01:05:35Good night, my dear.
01:05:36Good night.
01:06:06Good night.
01:06:36Good night.
01:06:49He's just coming to find you, Miss Brandon.
01:06:50There's a gentleman on the terrace asking to see you,
01:06:52and he says it's most important.
01:06:54Mr. Holmes.
01:06:55Anne, my dear.
01:07:10What are you doing here?
01:07:12Am I so unwelcome, then?
01:07:13Why did you come?
01:07:15I've been terribly worried about you, darling.
01:07:17I wanted to be sure you were safe.
01:07:19Why did you think I might not be safe?
01:07:21Anne, whatever has come over you...
01:07:24Don't touch me.
01:07:26Don't touch me.
01:07:27Surely you're not afraid of me.
01:07:31You are afraid.
01:07:33That's how much all the years have counted.
01:07:35You think I want to hurt you?
01:07:39I don't know why I don't.
01:07:46Anne, wait!
01:07:48Come here, Anne!
01:07:50Come here, Anne!
01:07:51Oh, уже may I stay away from here?
01:08:03Are you out of the room?
01:08:03If they are, they'll be back on your head.
01:08:04I'll see you right now.
01:08:07All right, Tracy.
01:08:07I hope you are out.
01:08:07Oh, my God.
01:08:37Come along this way, quick.
01:09:07Come along this way.
01:09:37Come along this way.
01:10:07Holmes, are you all right?
01:10:12Never better, Watson.
01:10:13And Miss Brandon?
01:10:13She'll be all right, poor child.
01:10:14She's fainted.
01:10:15Look after her, will you, Andrews, and take her back to the house.
01:10:17Very good, Mr. Holmes.
01:10:18What on earth is this, Holmes?
01:10:19This Watson is a South American bolus, the instrument that killed Lloyd Brandon.
01:10:23What?
01:10:24Yes.
01:10:24Come and take a look at his murderer.
01:10:36He's badly hurt.
01:10:37Can he be moved, doctor?
01:10:39Yes.
01:10:39Then I'll take him to the yard.
01:10:45Yes, it's just as I suspected.
01:10:48This club footage shoe was a very clever device, but not quite clever enough, my friend.
01:10:53I'll wager you didn't think of it yourself.
01:10:54Who put you up to it?
01:10:55The professor.
01:10:56He said he fixed it so I don't get caught.
01:10:59Professor Moriarty.
01:11:00Si, Moriarty.
01:11:02I killed him.
01:11:04I scarcely think you'll have the chance now.
01:11:05So that clears up our case.
01:11:08Clears it up.
01:11:09We've only just begun.
01:11:09Come along, Watson.
01:11:10Come on.
01:11:10Quick.
01:11:10.
01:11:16I mean.
01:11:16I don't know.
01:11:17I've realized I've been part of it.
01:11:18I've, I know they were part of it.
01:11:20Yes, sir.
01:11:21I'm not.
01:11:22Shhh, don't move, stay with one, keep your eyes open.
01:11:52All right, come on, Moxon, there's nobody here.
01:12:21Why didn't you say so before?
01:12:28Oh, lily pond.
01:12:37It's damp.
01:12:38Damp, I'm wet through.
01:12:40He's been shaving.
01:12:42Moriarty's worn that beard for years. Why would he shave it off?
01:12:44To disguise himself, of course.
01:12:46Oh, obviously, Watson, but why tonight especially? For what purpose?
01:12:49Huh?
01:12:56Now, Beidecker, what would Moriarty be doing with a guidebook?
01:13:00There's London like a cab driver.
01:13:06Look, Watson, look.
01:13:07The town of London.
01:13:09Sergeant Bullfinch.
01:13:10Moriarty without his beard.
01:13:12Then he stole the emerald.
01:13:13I wonder exactly what he did do.
01:13:15Or rather, is doing.
01:13:16What do you mean, Holmes?
01:13:18Don't you see, my dear Watson?
01:13:19Moriarty concocted that Brandon case with all its fantastic convolutions expressly to divert my attention at the time the Star of Delhi was delivered.
01:13:25So that he could steal the emerald?
01:13:27Well, he didn't get it.
01:13:28We fooled him.
01:13:29That's exactly the point, Watson.
01:13:30He didn't want the Star of Delhi.
01:13:32What?
01:13:33No.
01:13:34The real crime has not yet come to light.
01:13:36He caused a man to be murdered solely in order to distract me.
01:13:39He staged that fiasco at the Tower of London.
01:13:41Why, I don't know, but of one thing I'm certain.
01:13:42It was all done with a purpose.
01:13:44Somewhere in London at this very moment something tremendous is happening.
01:13:47He said he was going to do it and he's doing it now.
01:13:50The most stupendous, the most incredible crime of the century.
01:13:52The crowning act of his career.
01:13:54The crowning act.
01:13:57Crowning.
01:13:59St. Edward's crown.
01:14:02This was the crown stolen from the Tower of London in 1671 by Colonel Blood and his accomplices.
01:14:09The total value of the regalia is estimated at three million pounds.
01:14:13Watson, the crown jewels!
01:14:14We're wasting time!
01:14:15Hi!
01:14:16Captain!
01:14:17Never mind!
01:14:18Get in, Washington!
01:14:19Come on!
01:14:20Come on!
01:14:21Come on!
01:14:22Come on!
01:14:23Come on!
01:14:24Come on!
01:14:25Hi!
01:14:26Captain!
01:14:27Never mind!
01:14:28Get in, Washington!
01:14:29Come on!
01:14:30Get in, Washington!
01:14:31You can't run!
01:14:35Come on!
01:14:36來啊!
01:14:40I said, stay the head driver looking carefully, old boy.
01:15:10Don't turn up!
01:15:28What is it, Mackenzie?
01:15:29An accident, Sergeant.
01:15:35Give me a hand. Get this man out of here.
01:15:40Well, what were you trying to do? Batter your way right into the Tower of London?
01:15:46Of course not. Of course not. Preposterous.
01:15:48Well, what were you doing?
01:15:49Well, I was riding a cabbie.
01:15:50Cabbie?
01:15:51Wait, is this a cabbie?
01:15:53Well, where is he?
01:15:54I don't know. I haven't the faintest idea.
01:15:56Bring him along to the paston room.
01:15:57What?
01:16:10I can't wait.
01:20:31Alfred, may I borrow your violin?
01:20:33Certainly, Governor.
01:20:34I said I still don't understand how young Hunter became involved.
01:20:40Perfectly simple.
01:20:41Whatever Gerald Hunter did was done to protect Miss Brandon.
01:20:43But I saw him.
01:20:44But I saw him myself closeted with Moriarty.
01:20:46My dear Watson, I expected even you to see through that trick.
01:20:49Moriarty went to him with a trumped-up lawsuit to put us off the track.
01:20:52Those flies again.
01:20:55Very effective, my dear Watson.
01:20:56Very effective, my dear Watson.
01:21:02Elementary, my dear Holmes.
01:21:03Elementary.
01:21:34The End
