00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:29You have the end, I can't open it, you right now.
00:01:35Oh, darn it.
00:01:37All these nibs.
00:01:38Mr. Partridge, eh, Mr. Partridge?
00:01:42Now what's the trouble?
00:01:44Can't open the blinking door.
00:01:46Come out.
00:01:58You hear me?
00:02:00This is Victoria Station.
00:02:01Come out, Jim.
00:02:08Honey.
00:02:11Some drunk, sleeping at all.
00:02:13Some just traveling for its claws.
00:02:15Oh, come on, hey.
00:02:18Hey, Jim.
00:02:26Put down your ladder.
00:02:29Yes, sir.
00:02:30Open that window.
00:02:31Right.
00:02:32I can't bulge it, Mr. Partridge.
00:02:42Bulge is a word.
00:02:44You'll have to smash it then.
00:02:45Right.
00:02:52Mr. Partridge, there's all this.
00:02:54Yeah, there's one.
00:03:00Come out, Phil.
00:03:02Flex the police.
00:03:03Don't stand there, Gabriel.
00:03:04Hold on.
00:03:23This must be the place.
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:26You have to wait here.
00:03:28I'm not going to let you go in a place like this alone.
00:03:30You must really.
00:03:32I'll be all right.
00:04:04This meeting is now called to order.
00:04:21The unfortunate death in a train of one of our members, Mr. James Murphy,
00:04:26who departed this life by his own act while of unsound mind,
00:04:31has necessitated this meeting.
00:04:32That's what you say, Mr. Meridue.
00:04:35And how do you know?
00:04:37A verdict of death by suicide was returned tonight.
00:04:42This is the second occasion that we have been brought together by the, uh,
00:04:46mishaps to our members.
00:04:49The first being the passing away by natural causes of the late Colonel Forrester,
00:04:53whose charming daughter so gracefully honors us with her presence here tonight.
00:04:57It is agreed in the pact drawn up and formally attested to by its founders
00:05:06that should the Grim Reaper overtake, uh, one or more,
00:05:11the interests of the deceased in the society
00:05:14will be divided equally among the surviving members.
00:05:19It is also provided for in the pact that Miss Forrester becomes a participating member.
00:05:23Consequently, the interests of the late James Murphy
00:05:27will be divided equally among the seven of us.
00:05:32I move that my fee for the necessary legal representation,
00:05:36funeral expenses and a modest urn for the ashes,
00:05:39uh, be defrayed by our organization.
00:05:41I understand from the widow that, uh,
00:05:44he expressed a preference for cremation.
00:05:46I second that.
00:05:48All those in favor will please signify by raising their hands.
00:05:53Mr. Wilson.
00:05:56Mr. Baker.
00:05:59Mr. Deering.
00:06:05Mr. Pike.
00:06:08Ah, yet?
00:06:08Ah, yet?
00:06:16Good.
00:06:17Has any provision been made for the widow?
00:06:19None.
00:06:20I presume that we could stretch a point in her favor.
00:06:23Emphatically, no.
00:06:24Things are complicated enough as they are.
00:06:27Why did he want to kill himself?
00:06:30Have you ever met his wife?
00:06:32No.
00:06:32No?
00:06:33Well, I have.
00:06:35A pest if there ever was one.
00:06:37He can attribute his death solely to the general deficiencies of one
00:06:41Annabelle Mary Murphy.
00:06:43What would you deduce from this?
00:07:08Obviously, an attempt to convey secret information.
00:07:11Could you decipher it?
00:07:14I could not.
00:07:16Nor could you.
00:07:18Would you like to bet?
00:07:20Certainly.
00:07:21How much?
00:07:24Shilling.
00:07:25My time is too valuable.
00:07:29The answer will be found in a large book because the numbers are large.
00:07:34I'd suggest, uh, the Bible.
00:07:36A client, Watson.
00:07:46Where?
00:07:47The widow standing under the street lamp.
00:07:52A widow?
00:07:53Would you like to bet on that?
00:07:55Of course.
00:07:56Well, I'm not going down the street to ask her.
00:07:57Ah.
00:07:59Won't be necessary.
00:08:00She's made up her mind.
00:08:01So you deduce at a distance, eh?
00:08:05Not in this case.
00:08:07I recognized her features.
00:08:08She's a Mrs. Murphy.
00:08:10Her husband was murdered three days ago.
00:08:13You mean the man that was found dead in a train?
00:08:15Exactly.
00:08:17Come in.
00:08:20A Mrs. Murphy to see you, sir.
00:08:21Mr. Holmes, I'm in such a mess.
00:08:23Such a mess.
00:08:24My husband up and died without leaving me as much as I certainly did.
00:08:28It's a crime shame, Mr. Holmes.
00:08:29That's what it is.
00:08:30Sit down and try to compose yourself.
00:08:34Cut off without a pardon.
00:08:35By an ungrateful good for nothing.
00:08:38Me.
00:08:39At my time of life.
00:08:41No dirty dog had a better wife.
00:08:42I've waited on him and to mark.
00:08:44Stood by his side morning, noon, and night.
00:08:47And what does the stinker do?
00:08:49He ups and kills himself.
00:08:50And leaves his money to a trust.
00:08:53And Mr. Marydew.
00:08:54Yes.
00:08:55And there's another stinker.
00:08:56If I never saw another.
00:08:57Won't even let me have a sixpence.
00:08:59He won't even let me have an eight-man, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:02Thaddeus married you, the lawyer?
00:09:04Yes, the thieving hound.
00:09:06The dirty rat.
00:09:07One moment.
00:09:09You were married how long?
00:09:11Five blessed long years.
00:09:13Previous to your marriage, your husband served in the army.
00:09:16You knew him.
00:09:17Of him.
00:09:18He got his discharge in China.
00:09:20Yes, that's right.
00:09:21Then you married.
00:09:22Yes, and I gave up everything, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:24You ask the proprietor of the Black Sour, you tell you.
00:09:27It was me that made that pub what it was.
00:09:29And your husband had money.
00:09:30Farrells of it.
00:09:31And when he wanted more, he used to come up to London and get it.
00:09:35It was that that took him to London when he killed himself.
00:09:37How do you know?
00:09:38Well, Jim comes into my room.
00:09:41I was in bed with a piece of cucumber rind round the head,
00:09:44trying to cure an headache.
00:09:45He had a letter in his hand.
00:09:47See a pig, he said.
00:09:50That was his pet name for me when he was drunk.
00:09:52I'm going up to London.
00:09:54Did you read the contents of the letter?
00:09:57Oh, it wasn't no letter.
00:09:59It was just a piece of doggerel.
00:10:00Watson, make a note of Mrs. Murphy's dress.
00:10:17232 Kings Cross Road.
00:10:19Then you'll undertake me, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:21I'll take up your case.
00:10:23Mind you, it'll have to be for love.
00:10:26Love?
00:10:27For Nick.
00:10:28I've noticed how you like working for nothing.
00:10:30My interest is to bring the criminal to justice.
00:10:33Oh, never mind about justice.
00:10:34Never mind about the crime.
00:10:35All I want is my husband's lawful money.
00:10:38And I want you to slap that thieving lawyer's face right across
00:10:41between his greasy, fat chop.
00:10:44Good night, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:45I'll be seeing you, and thank you kindly.
00:10:47Good night, Mrs. Murphy.
00:10:48Good night, Mrs. Murphy.
00:10:55Deep water, Watson.
00:10:59She needs some shady lawyer, not you.
00:11:02Think so?
00:11:03I'm amazed that you're wasting your energies on such a morbid trifle.
00:11:07Who is this merry dude?
00:11:09London's most dangerous crook.
00:11:11The king of blackmailers.
00:11:13A gliding, slithy, venomous snake.
00:11:16Once in his power, he'll squeeze and squeeze until he's drained his victims dry.
00:11:22More than once I've had my net around him, but so far, he's managed to wriggle his way out.
00:11:27But the time has come, Watson.
00:11:29The time has come for Mr. Thaddeus Meridue.
00:11:32And now, Miss Forrester, and gentlemen, this concludes the meeting.
00:11:38I would like to have a word with you alone.
00:11:40I sincerely trust no further accidents will happen to occasion another meeting.
00:11:45You never can tell.
00:11:46Are you going my way?
00:12:10Which way do you go?
00:12:11I go to the other.
00:12:13That leads to a dead end.
00:12:15That's the way I go.
00:12:16Good night, then.
00:12:17Good night.
00:12:18Good night.
00:12:18You must never mention anything that transpired at this meeting tonight.
00:12:38Or even that this meeting was held.
00:12:40I saw a young man standing on the corner as I came in.
00:12:43Yes, my fiancé.
00:12:45He brought me here and is waiting for me.
00:12:47Oh.
00:12:50Then you're thinking of being married.
00:12:52Yes.
00:12:53I wouldn't if I were you.
00:12:55That is, at least until you've consulted me.
00:12:57But why?
00:12:58I can't explain.
00:13:00In a short time, the society will no longer exist.
00:13:03Until its affairs are winded up, it would be most unwise for you to marry.
00:13:06Your father would not have wished it.
00:13:08What had my father to do with these people?
00:13:10Didn't he ever tell you?
00:13:11No.
00:13:12Then I must respect his silence.
00:13:14Remember.
00:13:15Not a word to a living soul.
00:13:20He's hot to me.
00:13:21He's hot to me.
00:13:23Captain Pine.
00:13:24Oh!
00:13:26Oh!
00:13:28Oh!
00:13:29Oh!
00:13:38Dead.
00:13:38Shot through the heart.
00:13:39You wait here.
00:13:56What is it?
00:14:09What's happened?
00:14:10Are you hurt?
00:14:12Someone.
00:14:15Look.
00:14:17It's in the peace.
00:14:18What does it mean?
00:14:20The murderer must have had an accomplice and removed the body.
00:14:23We must call the police.
00:14:24No, no.
00:14:24The police will be here soon enough.
00:14:25We mustn't become involved.
00:14:26But it's murder.
00:14:27As you respect your father's memory, you must preserve a strict silence, not a word.
00:14:36Come.
00:14:36The body was pulled out of the Thames at 5 a.m. in the Limehouse District.
00:14:46The autopsy shows a death was caused by a bullet through the heart.
00:14:50The features, as you see, are unrecognizable, caused possibly by the battering of the head against the wharf where the body was found.
00:14:55We would have identified the body by means of that ring.
00:14:59Ah.
00:15:01A very rare and very beautiful ring, this train.
00:15:04There isn't the slightest doubt the deceased is Captain Pike.
00:15:07The clothes were identified, initials on the collar and on the shirt.
00:15:11Further identifications are contained in these letters of the farm and the clothing.
00:15:14Where is the widow?
00:15:24We ask her to wait in the adjoining room.
00:15:37Is this Pike?
00:15:39Yes.
00:15:40You are?
00:15:41My name is Sherlock Holmes.
00:15:44When did you last see your husband alive?
00:15:46We dined together last night at the Savoy Grill.
00:15:49He left me shortly after nine o'clock.
00:15:52I never saw him again.
00:15:53You are staying?
00:15:54At the Savoy.
00:15:55You've been in London how long?
00:15:57About a week.
00:15:58And you live where?
00:15:59At the Grain Shuberness.
00:16:02When your husband left you, did he inform you where he was going?
00:16:05No, but I fancied it was on a matter of business.
00:16:08He was a man very precise in his habits.
00:16:11When midnight came and there was no sign of him, I became rather alarmed.
00:16:16Midnight should be a late hour for him.
00:16:18Very.
00:16:19As the time went on, I became more and more worried.
00:16:22At last I informed the police.
00:16:24An hour ago I received a message to come here, where I identified the body of my poor husband.
00:16:31By the ring?
00:16:32Yes.
00:16:34Did he always wear a ring?
00:16:36That one, yes.
00:16:37I gave it to him when we were married.
00:16:39That would be?
00:16:40About six years ago in China.
00:16:42It is an heirloom belonging to my family and has been handed down through generations.
00:16:47I see.
00:16:49Permit me to express my sympathy for your great loss.
00:16:53Is that all?
00:16:55By the way, should it become necessary, should I communicate with you at the Grange or the Savoy?
00:17:00Through my lawyer.
00:17:01His name?
00:17:02Mr. Thaddeus Meridoux.
00:17:04Good morning, Mr. Holmes.
00:17:20Well, what do you make of it?
00:17:21Murder.
00:17:22Unquestionably.
00:17:22Is that all?
00:17:23That's all I have to say.
00:17:25What do you think?
00:17:26I think that the lady is a liar.
00:17:29Unquestionably.
00:17:52Unquestionably.
00:17:53Unquestionably.
00:17:54Unquestionably.
00:17:55Unquestionably.
00:17:56Unquestionably.
00:17:57Unquestionably.
00:17:58Unquestionably.
00:17:59Unquestionably.
00:18:00Unquestionably.
00:18:01Unquestionably.
00:18:02Unquestionably.
00:18:03Unquestionably.
00:18:04Unquestionably.
00:18:05Unquestionably.
00:18:06Unquestionably.
00:18:07Unquestionably.
00:18:08Unquestionably.
00:18:09Unquestionably.
00:18:10Unquestionably.
00:18:11Unquestionably.
00:18:12Unquestionably.
00:18:13Unquestionably.
00:18:14Unquestionably.
00:18:15Unquestionably.
00:18:16Unquestionably.
00:18:17Unquestionably.
00:18:18Unquestionably.
00:18:19You! It's not possible! What do you want to do with me?
00:18:41The papers are full of the fight murder mystery.
00:18:44Seemed to me particularly senseless and futile.
00:18:47There was no motive.
00:18:48No motive.
00:18:49Peer deep down in the black heart of Thaddeus Meridue and you'll find a motive.
00:18:54You don't mean to suggest that he had anything to do with it, do you?
00:18:57I suggest nothing.
00:18:59Come in.
00:19:01Inspector is strange to see you, sir.
00:19:05Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson.
00:19:06What's the matter? You look worried.
00:19:08Worried? I'm up to my neck.
00:19:09Again?
00:19:10Before I can begin to finish one case, I'm plunged into another.
00:19:13That's the penalty of being smart.
00:19:14You claim to see me professionally.
00:19:17Well, unofficially.
00:19:19I see.
00:19:20Had you win, tears I lose.
00:19:21There's been a bad business during the night.
00:19:23An old gentleman.
00:19:25You'll find it a bit of a puzzler.
00:19:26You mean you found it a bit of a puzzler.
00:19:29We've left everything in status quo, hoping you'll favor us with an opinion.
00:19:32Dead?
00:19:34Murder?
00:19:35Murder?
00:19:36Suicide.
00:19:37Come, Watson.
00:19:38Game is afoot.
00:19:54He was well known as a stamp collector.
00:19:55Very interesting.
00:20:14What is it, Holmes?
00:20:23That leads out to the guard, and Silver Mew is to judge by the rusty hinges.
00:20:43Good morning, Chris.
00:20:50Good morning.
00:20:55Good morning, Chris.
00:21:12Good morning.
00:21:25You can see that I have left everything untouched.
00:21:53If a herd of buffalo has passed along, it couldn't be a greater mess.
00:21:59You can take a smoke.
00:22:00Thank you, sir.
00:22:03What do you think?
00:22:04There's been murder, then.
00:22:05The murderer was a mess.
00:22:07He was in the prime of life, six feet in height, has small feet, wear square-toed boots, limps
00:22:15slightly on the left foot and smokes Trichinopoly cigars.
00:22:18If it was murder, how was it committed?
00:22:22The assassin was in the house before his victim arrived.
00:22:26He hid in the recess behind the window.
00:22:29While there, he smoked a cigar.
00:22:32He fired a shot which hit the victim on the back of the head and then dragged the body
00:22:37to where you found it.
00:22:38He left and returned some while later to fire a second shot, this time through the mouth.
00:22:45You'll find the mark of a boot clearly imprinted on the congealed blood.
00:22:48What was his object?
00:22:49To obliterate the effect of the first one, hoping by so doing to transfer the crime from
00:22:54that of murder to one of suicide.
00:22:57Bullet number one you will find in the wall on the farther side of the room.
00:23:03The other will be found embedded in the body of the murdered man.
00:23:07Come, Watson.
00:23:11We mustn't keep Mr. Merrithee waiting.
00:23:20Mr. Holmes is still waiting, sir.
00:23:23How long has it been now?
00:23:25Forty-two hours, sir.
00:23:27That's as it should be.
00:23:29You may show him in now.
00:23:30Very good, sir.
00:23:40Mr. Holmes, this is indeed a pleasure.
00:23:43I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I had to digest my lunch.
00:23:47This is my friend and partner, Dr. Watson.
00:23:49How do you do?
00:23:50That support, gentlemen?
00:23:52No.
00:23:58Cigar.
00:24:02Be seated, gentlemen.
00:24:08I represent Annabelle Mary Murphy.
00:24:11Charming lady.
00:24:12I'm in power to act on her behalf.
00:24:15Congratulations.
00:24:16As you are doubtless aware, her husband came to a premature and sudden end.
00:24:21Dear, dear.
00:24:22My client is under an impression that certain monies belonging to the deceased are being unlawfully withheld from her.
00:24:30By whom?
00:24:31By you.
00:24:31And you believe this delightful lady?
00:24:35I'm paid to find out.
00:24:37Hmm.
00:24:39An angry woman is hard to pacify.
00:24:41So I thought that an amicable discussion with you would put me in possession of certain facts with which I could prove to my client the absurdity of her claim.
00:24:50I see.
00:24:50Is that all?
00:24:56That is all.
00:24:58Dear, dear.
00:24:59You're not smoking my cigar.
00:25:00You refuse to assist me.
00:25:02My dear Mr. Holmes, I have neither the information nor the authority.
00:25:06You see, until a few days ago, I was not aware that your distinguished client existed.
00:25:11In my profession, I deal with many cases impartially and legally without coming into personal contact with my client.
00:25:17It won't do, Mr. Mary.
00:25:19Anything else?
00:25:21May I trouble you for a pencil and paper?
00:25:23Help yourself.
00:25:29Mr. Busybody, Holmes.
00:25:42By the way, I think you should know that another client of yours met his death last night.
00:25:48Mr. Malcolm Dearing, found murdered.
00:26:06Good day, Mr. Mary.
00:26:12Come, Watson.
00:26:18Cold-blooded monster.
00:26:33Well, I've given him something to think about.
00:26:35Did you see what I saw?
00:26:37His feet.
00:26:38What about it?
00:26:39Well, they were small feet.
00:26:40And the boots.
00:26:41Well, well.
00:26:42The square-toed.
00:26:43Square-toed.
00:26:44Really?
00:26:45Yes.
00:26:46And did you remark the brand of cigar?
00:26:48Cigar?
00:26:49Trichinopoly.
00:26:50It was stenciled in big letters on the top of the box.
00:26:54Is that all you observed?
00:26:56Was there anything else?
00:26:57A hundred things.
00:26:58Among them, the cipher to the code.
00:27:00A large book, Watson.
00:27:02I saw no Bible.
00:27:03Would you call Whittaker's Almanac a large?
00:27:05Yes, indeed.
00:27:06In that book will be found the message of the numbers.
00:27:15Mr. Holmes.
00:27:16Mrs. Pike.
00:27:27Holmes, what did you write on that sheet of paper?
00:27:29A long shot in the dark, Watson.
00:27:31But he did a bruise on the paper.
00:27:33Mrs. Forrester lives here, I believe.
00:27:46Tell her that Mr. Maryview wishes to see her.
00:27:48Mr. Thaddeus Maryview.
00:27:49And hurry!
00:27:53Mr. Maryview calling to see you, miss.
00:27:55Mrs. Forrester.
00:27:58You're looking charming as ever.
00:28:01I see you receive my flowers.
00:28:03I sent them to soften the unexpectedness of my visit.
00:28:06You come about the murder of Captain Pike?
00:28:08No.
00:28:09Have the police been pestering you?
00:28:10No.
00:28:11I was fortunate enough to keep your name out of it.
00:28:14Have you seen today's papers?
00:28:16Shocking.
00:28:17Shocking.
00:28:18Poor old gentleman.
00:28:20This is a very wicked world we're living in, Miss Forrester.
00:28:23This will necessitate another meeting.
00:28:25That's why I came myself to tell you.
00:28:27Safer.
00:28:28Too many eavesdroppers.
00:28:30Busybodies concerning themselves with other people's business.
00:28:35The same time, the same place tomorrow night.
00:28:38Oh, please don't ask me to go to that dreadful place again.
00:28:40Well, unfortunately in this case I'm a servant carrying out instructions.
00:28:46You've nothing to worry about.
00:28:48Not a thing.
00:28:49Not a thing in the world.
00:28:51Oh, this is my use.
00:28:55Mr. Stanford, Mr. Meridoux.
00:28:57Yeah, remember.
00:29:02I seem to see you every place.
00:29:14Who is that man?
00:29:16He's my lawyer.
00:29:17Oh.
00:29:18I remember seeing him the other night.
00:29:21But what's he doing here?
00:29:23Oh, please don't begin that all over again.
00:29:25Well, Eileen, surely I have a right to know.
00:29:33Oh, John.
00:29:34I'm so miserable.
00:29:38It's something that concerns father.
00:29:40Just before he died, he sent for me.
00:29:43I remember his words.
00:29:44On my death, you'll find yourself well provided for.
00:29:49You'll be rich.
00:29:51Remember this name.
00:29:53He repeated it twice.
00:29:55Married you.
00:29:57Should he communicate with you?
00:30:00Follow his instructions.
00:30:02For through him will come this inheritance.
00:30:04And the meeting three days ago?
00:30:06Began the fulfillment of father's words.
00:30:07Began the fulfillment of father's words.
00:30:16I think I'm beginning to understand.
00:30:18I thought I saw...
00:30:34John!
00:30:35John!
00:30:48He was a black-bearded man.
00:30:49Ill-dressed.
00:30:50Looked like a tramp.
00:30:51How tall?
00:30:52Oh, quite tall.
00:30:54Could you keep Miss Forrester under observation without her knowing it?
00:30:58I don't understand.
00:31:00Is Eileen in danger?
00:31:02In great danger.
00:31:03You are wise in coming to see me.
00:31:06Should anything unforeseen occur, get in touch with me.
00:31:10Go to her.
00:31:11Remember.
00:31:12Get in touch with me.
00:31:37We are getting onwards.
00:31:38I'm glad to see you in a more cheerful mood.
00:31:41We've done remarkably well.
00:31:42I am pleased.
00:31:44I admit I could do with a little explanation.
00:31:47I too feel it for killers.
00:31:49I consider the claims of Whittaker's Almanac.
00:31:52As I suspected.
00:31:53The large number represented the page.
00:31:56The second, the small number, the column.
00:31:58And the other figures, the message.
00:32:00You'll find it decoded on the table.
00:32:01The meeting of Scarlet Ring.
00:32:02Tuesday.
00:32:03Limehouse.
00:32:04In.
00:32:05Very dear.
00:32:07Possibly.
00:32:09Tomorrow will appear in the personal column of the Daily Telegraph a second message.
00:32:13A request for information.
00:32:14Your message?
00:32:15My message.
00:32:16And the next step?
00:32:17The need of fresh air will take me in the country tomorrow.
00:32:22In the meantime, relaxation.
00:32:23Music.
00:32:24I hope I won't bore you.
00:32:25Not if you make it start.
00:32:27You may start.
00:32:41You have to find out.
00:32:43Yes.
00:32:45Not sure.
00:32:46No, sir.
00:32:48No, sir.
00:32:50No.
00:32:51No, sir.
00:32:52Oh.
00:32:53Ah, things will get more worser and worser.
00:33:06I hear tell as though they'll get more wasser before they gets less wasser.
00:33:10Same as I say.
00:33:13That were a very bad business about Captain Pike.
00:33:16A very bad business.
00:33:19Same as I say.
00:33:20I hear tell us how the old range is going under the hammer.
00:33:25Lock, stock and barrel.
00:33:27Same as I say.
00:33:29I know I almost broke this old back of mine of weed in their old garden.
00:33:34And to look at it now, you think I'd spent all me time in here?
00:33:42Morning, sir.
00:33:43Morning.
00:33:44Morning, morning.
00:33:47How far is the green smear?
00:33:49Well, some will tell you four miles and some will tell you five.
00:33:53But I say it's more than four and less than five.
00:33:57Is there any means of getting there besides walking?
00:34:00Bless your heart.
00:34:00Yes, sir.
00:34:01I've an old trap.
00:34:02I'll harness up old Caesar and old Will here.
00:34:04He'll drive you over.
00:34:06Yeah.
00:34:07Will you take anything to drink?
00:34:10Wouldn't come amish?
00:34:12Scotch.
00:34:13Scotch and splash.
00:34:15Put a bottle on the table, some glasses and a cipher of soda.
00:34:18Come in, sir.
00:34:18Come in.
00:34:19Lord, love us.
00:34:19It feels good to be busy again.
00:34:21You're a godsend to him, sir.
00:34:24He hasn't had a paying customer for a long time.
00:34:28Check it out, sir.
00:34:30Before you can see Jack Robinson.
00:34:33Help yourself.
00:34:34Thank you, sir.
00:34:36Just a little drop, sir.
00:34:41Say when.
00:34:44When?
00:34:45Well, here's your very good help, sir.
00:34:53Oh, I feel like a new man, sir.
00:34:56Well, and now give the new man a drink.
00:34:58Right-o, sir.
00:34:59Well, here's your very good help, sir.
00:35:07Good help.
00:35:10Were you born in these parts?
00:35:13I've never seen none other.
00:35:15Worked for the part family of all my life.
00:35:17Till I got tired of working.
00:35:20Got this old backache from weeding the flaggy old garden.
00:35:23Then you would remember the late captain.
00:35:25And his father, and the old gentleman of Foley's father.
00:35:32See that dent?
00:35:34That belongs to Captain Point.
00:35:36A mark caused possibly by the imprint of a stone.
00:35:40And right you are, sir.
00:35:42Many a good-licking young master Robin got for chucking stones at me, sir.
00:35:47Sounds as though the young man was somewhat wild.
00:35:50Wild?
00:35:51He was a holy terror.
00:35:53Ready and wait, sir?
00:35:54I want it to pull, Caesar, and he's raring to go.
00:35:58He was telling me some more on the way over.
00:36:01Better bring the bottle.
00:36:03Go on, sir.
00:36:04Scotch is sure good for the backache.
00:36:11Steady, Caesar.
00:36:12Steady.
00:36:13He's hard to handle when he's raring to go, sir.
00:36:16You were saying?
00:36:17You can't make English gentry out of the even shiny now, Al.
00:36:21Not in these parts.
00:36:23It's very difficult, I imagine.
00:36:25When the captain was alive, did he stay here often?
00:36:29Until last Tuesday, we ain't seen nothing on him till close now on to two years.
00:36:38Shall we have one, sir?
00:36:40You take two.
00:36:41Right, sir.
00:36:52The old back feels better already, sir.
00:36:55Magic.
00:36:55There's the grange now, sir.
00:37:00Looks at his servants there now.
00:37:02Well, not in what you might call real servants, sir.
00:37:05There's daft doll it, and well you might have to be to keep that place.
00:37:10I kept it for 30 years.
00:37:12Stop a moment.
00:37:14Whoa, Caesar.
00:37:14I'll walk the rest of the way I'm in a hurry.
00:37:39Wait here for me.
00:37:40I won't budge an inch.
00:37:42I won't budge an inch.
00:37:43I won't budge an inch.
00:37:45I won't budge an inch.
00:38:03I won't budge an inch.
00:38:05That's me.
00:38:06Just come.
00:38:06I beg your pardon.
00:38:34Is it me sitting?
00:38:36No, sir.
00:38:37Where is she?
00:38:39Lennontown.
00:38:40I understand that this house is for sale.
00:38:42I may wish to buy it.
00:38:43I look it over.
00:38:44I look it over.
00:38:45I look it over.
00:38:46I look it over.
00:39:07That's mistress.
00:39:08Such a good looker.
00:39:09Such eye.
00:39:10She walks like a cat.
00:39:12Such a figure.
00:39:13Such a fine bit of good.
00:39:15Buzz.
00:39:16Buzz.
00:39:17Buzz.
00:39:18Buzz.
00:39:19Buzz.
00:39:20Buzz.
00:39:21Buzz.

00:39:37Buzz.
00:39:38Buzz.
00:39:39Buzz.
00:39:40Buzz.
00:39:41Mr. Sleap's here.
00:39:57Uh-huh.
00:39:58Don't you feel good?
00:40:16My heart.
00:40:17Water, quick.
00:40:19Just a minute.
00:40:20Just a minute.
00:40:21Oh, man.
00:40:51We haven't got any phones in the house.
00:40:53Let me go for one.
00:40:55Doctor's a good five miles away.
00:40:57Fetch him.
00:40:58Hurry, hurry.
00:41:00Run.
00:41:00All right.
00:41:02I'll run, I'll run.
00:41:21I'll run.
00:41:51I'll run.
00:42:21I'll run.
00:42:51I'll run.
00:43:21I'll run.
00:43:51I'll run.
00:44:21You're no better person to help me through this trying time.
00:44:24Well, you know, anything I can do.
00:44:27You are very nervous today.
00:44:29Well, I can't help it.
00:44:30Look at my hands.
00:44:31You know, I'm crumbling all over.
00:44:34There.
00:44:34That will stop the rest of the night.
00:44:35That will stop the rest of the night.
00:44:36That will stop the wrecking at any rate.
00:44:38My late husband always spoke of you in the warmest terms.
00:44:42And you know the highway garden which I've always heard you.
00:44:45Oh, have you?
00:44:47Can you doubt it?
00:44:48You are the only one who knows my husband's affairs.
00:44:52Everything has been left in the most terrible disorder.
00:44:54My house in the country will be sold.
00:44:57I wonder if you could spare the time.
00:45:00Yes?
00:45:02You could be my guest over the weekend.
00:45:06And we could go through his papers together.
00:45:08Well, you know, with pleasure.
00:45:10I could do with a bit of a change.
00:45:12We could drive down.
00:45:13Would tonight be possible?
00:45:16Tonight? No.
00:45:17You see, I've got an important meeting tonight.
00:45:20Then tomorrow.
00:45:22Tomorrow.
00:45:24May I make a little confession?
00:45:27You know, Mrs. Pike, I've always admired you tremendously.
00:45:43Who's that?
00:45:52Baker!
00:45:53Oh, it's you, is it?
00:45:54Who do you think it was?
00:45:56Where are the others?
00:45:58I'm the first one here.
00:45:59There's a rat among us.
00:46:03You have to leave space in me.
00:46:05Seek it on a chair.
00:46:06Don't I?
00:46:07Someone has given away the code.
00:46:11Anyone supplying information concerning the Scarlet Ring will be rewarded.
00:46:17Apply Sherlock Holmes, 221A Baker Street.
00:46:21It's one of us.
00:46:25That's certain.
00:46:26We can leave a girl out of it.
00:46:28Can't be that dumb Chinaman.
00:46:32There remains you, myself, and married you.
00:46:37Well, it's not me.
00:46:38On my oath.
00:46:39On me, I swear it.
00:46:41Then it's...
00:46:41I thought that snake was double-crossing me.
00:46:44But it's getting on my nerves.
00:46:47It's like living in lightning.
00:46:49First Murphy, then Pike, then Deering.
00:46:51Who'll be next?
00:46:57Suppose someone was to supply information to Sherlock Holmes.
00:47:00Then it would all come out.
00:47:02No, no.
00:47:02Holmes is different from the police.
00:47:04He protects clients.
00:47:06Holmes works with the police.
00:47:09What's in the back of your mind?
00:47:11I want a fighting charge.
00:47:13I want a living.
00:47:14This suspense is getting on my nerves.
00:47:17It's killing me.
00:47:18What suspense?
00:47:21Well, pray be seated, gentlemen.
00:47:24I overheard your conversation.
00:47:27It's most illuminating.
00:47:28We are not going on.
00:47:30No?
00:47:31Then why not, Frank?
00:47:32I don't want to die like Murphy.
00:47:34Nor be found dead like Pike.
00:47:35No, perhaps you'd like to spend the rest of your lives in prison.
00:47:38No, my friends.
00:47:42Crime brought you together, and by crime you will stick together.
00:47:47Gentlemen, in a few more days, the Scarlet Ring will cease to exist.
00:47:51We'll cease to exist, Jermaine.
00:47:53I have just received word from the agent in Antwerp that the plunderer has finally been disposed of.
00:47:59This time next week, the principal will be in my hands.
00:48:03A small, unimportant matter of some one million pounds to be divided equally among us.
00:48:10Two hundred thousand pounds, peace.
00:48:14Two hundred thousand pounds.
00:48:15And meanwhile?
00:48:17You've waited for five years.
00:48:19What's the matter of a few days?
00:48:20Here, what guarantee is there we'll be alive to receive it?
00:48:24None.
00:48:25Of course, if it were a question of your life without the money, it might be arranged.
00:48:30How?
00:48:31A letter in the form of a deed of gift relinquishing your right to any benefits accruing to the society.
00:48:36And give up two hundred thousand pounds?
00:48:39It might insure your life.
00:48:40I'd see a burn first.
00:48:45Shh.
00:48:46Not a word.
00:48:54Well, Miss Forrester, this is a pleasure.
00:48:55Come in.
00:49:01Won't you sit down?
00:49:01And now to business.
00:49:14Miss Forrester and gentlemen, again I have the pleasure of presiding at this meeting.
00:49:28Hello?
00:49:30One moment.
00:49:31A Mr. Stanton.
00:49:36Yes?
00:49:38Where?
00:49:50Oh, thank you, you come.
00:49:52I followed it here and phoned you immediately.
00:49:54She went to the side door.
00:50:01There were four others.
00:50:19A lawyer, two white men, strangers, and a Chinaman.
00:50:22When it comes, it won't come from the sky.
00:50:42Oh, sack of coal.
00:50:43Oh, sack of coal.
00:50:44I'm on fire.
00:50:47Life's worth more to me than money.
00:50:48Yours may be.
00:50:50Mine isn't.
00:50:51Shall we walk to the station together?
00:50:52No, no, you go ahead.
00:50:53She's inside.
00:50:55She's inside.
00:51:13They left her inside.
00:51:14They left her inside.
00:51:14She.
00:51:15They left her inside.
00:51:17I don't know.
00:51:47You came in the nick of time.
00:51:59Get her home.
00:52:00Don't let her out of your sight.
00:52:02Guard her.
00:52:13Ben!
00:52:14I'm messing with you.
00:52:17Save me.
00:52:18Save me.
00:52:21Speaking as a medical man, it is extremely dangerous to run at your age and with your wit.
00:52:27Could I have a glass of water, please?
00:52:29Sit down.
00:52:31I don't know.
00:52:34Go.
00:52:40I must apologize for bursting in like this, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:43I'm Dr. Watson.
00:52:44I don't know when Mr. Holmes will be back.
00:52:46Please wait.
00:53:10Come in.
00:53:10Come in.
00:53:11Sit down.
00:53:36Cigarette.
00:53:36Any luck?
00:53:52Too bad.
00:53:54I have here the securities.
00:53:57Easily negotiable for a million pounds.
00:53:58The Chinaman now yet is devoted to his mistress.
00:54:06Doubtless a generous present will satisfy him.
00:54:10On account of Holmes, I cannot impress upon you too sufficiently the necessity for speed.
00:54:14Everything must be finished tomorrow night at the Grange.
00:54:16I will make all the arrangements.
00:54:19You've got to help me, Mr. Holmes.
00:54:26If you don't, I'm a doomed man.
00:54:29Not ten minutes ago, the tent was made on my life.
00:54:31You see, I live in Italy Street.
00:54:33I was on my way there.
00:54:34I was about to cross the road, and some instinct made me leap back.
00:54:38And as I did, a car, driven with terrific speed, and coming on the wrong side of the road, whizzed by me.
00:54:44How I escaped was a miracle.
00:54:47Did you find a chance to see the occupant of the car?
00:54:49Yes.
00:54:50As a flash by me, I caught a glimpse of the driver.
00:54:52A black-peerated man.
00:54:54Is there anyone who would benefit by your death?
00:54:56Yes, four persons.
00:54:58You see, Mr. Holmes, there's an estate to be settled up.
00:55:03And if I should go out, will they get my share?
00:55:08Is any one of them capable of committing a crime?
00:55:11Yes, three of them.
00:55:13How much is your share this estate?
00:55:15Two hundred thousand pounds.
00:55:17Naturally, you would wish to live to enjoy it.
00:55:22When were you in China, Lars?
00:55:25I was never in China.
00:55:27Come, come, sir.
00:55:28In the tattooing above the right wrist?
00:55:32Well, that, that was done in England.
00:55:34You must be mistaken.
00:55:35That particular yellow is to be found only in China.
00:55:40What made you come to me?
00:55:42Well, you see, Mr. Holmes, I, well, I'd heard of your reputation.
00:55:46How did you know my dress?
00:55:49Aren't you here in answer to my advertisement?
00:55:53Were you not returning from the Limehouse?
00:55:55Are you not a member of the Scarlet Ring?
00:55:59Is it not a fact that three of your members are met with very sudden ends and you're terrified lest their fate befall you?
00:56:06Why, you must be the devil himself.
00:56:08Answer me.
00:56:09Yes, Mr. Holmes, but I'm helpless.
00:56:12I'm up against some power that no precaution can govern against.
00:56:16Go straight home and lock yourself in your house.
00:56:22But it's very old and easily broken into.
00:56:24You were seller.
00:56:25Wrong proof.
00:56:26Hide there.
00:56:28On second thought, we'll see what we've restrained.
00:56:30Take a revolver, Watson.
00:56:33Mr. Holmes, do you think there's any hope?
00:56:34Obey my instructions implicitly and I can promise you almost a chance.
00:56:39Tomorrow, leave town.
00:56:41You see, Mr. Holmes, I had intended that.
00:56:44You see, I know a little place in the country that is secluded, miles away from any place.
00:56:49It belongs to the widow of an acquaintance of mine.
00:56:51The lady is an oriental, an Asiatic.
00:56:54As a matter of fact, she's Chinese.
00:56:56Mrs. Pike, when you arrive at the Grange near Schubert and Ness,
00:57:01you'll probably be given the room next to the ladies.
00:57:06You'll find a door connecting the two rooms.
00:57:09Keep it locked.
00:57:11Arrive there neither before nor later than nine o'clock.
00:57:15On your arrival, pretend ahead.
00:57:17Pretend when?
00:57:18Oh, Mr. Holmes.
00:57:20Go straight to your room.
00:57:22If you value your life, you'll open the door.
00:57:31Baker!
00:57:32They got him too.
00:57:35Poison.
00:57:36Why dear, says he, for me.
00:57:59And that's the last I see of him.
00:58:02A regular Quirin.
00:58:03Free with his money.
00:58:05Same as I say.
00:58:06He must have been a pickle when he was a lad.
00:58:10Dolly ran all the way to fetch Dr. Smallwood.
00:58:13And she and Smallwood now burst a blood vessel trying to get to him.
00:58:17And when they found him, he wasn't there.
00:58:21And there are you one of them ever set eyes on him again.
00:58:25Same as I say.
00:58:26Company.
00:58:27Evening, gentlemen.
00:58:28Evening.
00:58:29I think it would have made wait for the gents.
00:58:31Good evening, gentlemen.
00:58:32Good evening.
00:58:33Good evening.
00:58:34Good evening.
00:58:35Good evening.
00:58:35Good evening.
00:58:36Take anything to drink?
00:58:37Wouldn't come amiss.
00:58:38Scouts and splash.
00:58:40Scotch and splash.
00:58:41How did you know, sir?
00:58:42Thank you, sir.
00:58:43Give me your orders, gentlemen.
00:58:45Put a bottle on the table.
00:58:47Glasses and the sides of the soda.
00:58:49I'm not sure.
00:58:50I'm not sure.
00:58:51Bottle of whiskey.
00:58:52Four glasses and five of them.
00:58:53Can we?
00:58:54I will.
00:58:55All right.
00:58:56Hurry up.
00:58:57I'll get the money.
00:58:59Four glasses.
00:59:02What brings you gentlemen round these airports?
00:59:16This friend of mine belongs to the medical profession.
00:59:19A patient of his has escaped.
00:59:21An old gentleman of any dangerous character.
00:59:23That's the reason for all these wardens.
00:59:25And now, gentlemen, wearing a cape, stoops a bit.
00:59:29They get in the valley.
00:59:30You've seen him?
00:59:31Have I seen him?
00:59:32Yes, sir.
00:59:33And Dolly at the Grange seen him.
00:59:34And Dr. Smallwood ought to see him, but he never set eyes on him.
00:59:37As sure as I'm standing here, sir.
00:59:39He sat right there.
00:59:41He did.
00:59:42It was the day before yesterday.
00:59:43Doctor, we're on the road, sir.
00:59:46Say when?
00:59:47When?
00:59:52Well, here's your very good help, sir.
00:59:58Another beer?
00:59:59Thank you very kindly, sir.
01:00:02Pay the bill, Watson.
01:00:06And take care of this gentleman.
01:00:07Come along.
01:00:08What'll you have?
01:00:09Well, I'm here hoping that we get him.
01:00:11Who?
01:00:12Gash my buttons if I know.
01:00:14My mind has never been in such a fog.
01:00:16All right.
01:00:19It's time to leave.
01:00:20Gregson should be there by now.
01:00:22We'll have the Grange so well surrounded a cat couldn't get through without being seen.
01:00:26Come along, men.
01:00:27Mr. Holmes.
01:00:28Something terrible has happened.
01:00:29Miss Forrester has disappeared.
01:00:30Disappeared?
01:00:31But I told you to guard her.
01:00:32But I couldn't understand your telegram.
01:00:33Telegram?
01:00:34What telegram?
01:00:35Instructing me to meet you at Dover.
01:00:36Are you mad?
01:00:37I don't know.
01:00:38I'm almost insane with worry.
01:00:39Go on.
01:00:40Well, I arrived at Dover and suspected it was a hoax.
01:00:42I turned around immediately.
01:00:43Fortunately, I have a racing car.
01:00:44Arriving there, I went straight to Eileen's house.
01:00:45Is she gone?
01:00:46I made a toll on it.
01:00:47She left in the early afternoon with a strange woman.
01:00:48A Chinese woman?
01:00:49Yes.
01:00:50I called you, but you left.
01:00:51When I gave my name to your housekeeper, she told me where I could locate you.
01:00:53Oh, Mr. Holmes, what could have happened?
01:00:54Oh, what could she be?
01:00:55I don't know.
01:00:56I don't know.
01:00:57I don't know.
01:00:58I don't know.
01:00:59I don't know.
01:01:00I don't know.
01:01:01I'm almost insane with worry.
01:01:02Go on.
01:01:03Well, I arrived at Dover and suspected it was a hoax.
01:01:04I turned around immediately.
01:01:05Fortunately, I have a racing car.
01:01:06When I gave my name to your housekeeper, she told me where I could locate you.
01:01:09Oh, Mr. Holmes, what could have happened?
01:01:11Oh, what could she be?
01:01:12Come, Mr. Abe.
01:01:13There's not a moment to lose.
01:01:23Mr. Holmes is late.
01:01:25Are you sure you're not mistaken?
01:01:27I had written instructions to bring you here.
01:01:29You saw them.
01:01:32Perhaps the fog.
01:01:33Are you certain to be here?
01:01:35If not tonight, then tomorrow morning.
01:01:40Who's there?
01:01:41Strange.
01:01:42I seldom heard.
01:01:53Stop!
01:01:56You open the door, and I'll choke the light by the end.
01:01:58Mr. Wilson, have you lost your reason?
01:02:01Tell her if he opens that door, he'll never lift over another.
01:02:05Then the windows are closer.
01:02:06Why?
01:02:07Once you do it.
01:02:08Who is this?
01:02:09Telegraph.
01:02:10White.
01:02:11Telegraph.
01:02:12Telegraph.
01:02:13For Miss Forrester.
01:02:14I'll give it to her.
01:02:27On.
01:02:28Good news?
01:02:58Excuse me.
01:03:00What is it?
01:03:02What is it?
01:03:04What does it mean?
01:03:08I'm going to bed.
01:03:10Miss Forrester, when you go to your room, lock your door.
01:03:15And keep it locked.
01:03:20What's the matter?
01:03:25I'm rather chilly.
01:03:27Who's that?
01:03:31It's me, sir.
01:03:33Did you deliver the telegram?
01:03:34Yes, sir.
01:03:35To Miss Forrester herself?
01:03:36I give it to one lady to give to the other, sir.
01:03:38Thank you. Good night.
01:03:39Good night, sir.
01:03:40Don't let me go to her.
01:03:42Wait.
01:03:43I'll never do it again.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46Stand about all night without a flask.
01:03:49Look, Holmes. Over there.
01:03:52Drop your gun.
01:03:55Well, Inspector.
01:03:56I've checked up on all points.
01:03:57No one could have slipped through.
01:04:01Good night, my dear.
01:04:03My bedroom is just across the corridor.
01:04:06If you should walk before anything, don't hesitate to call me.
01:04:11Good night.
01:04:12Good night.
01:04:13Good night.
01:04:14Good night.
01:04:15Good night.
01:04:16Good night.
01:04:17Good night.
01:04:18Mr. Wilson.
01:04:19Are you in bed?
01:04:20Yes, yes.
01:04:21Sorry.
01:04:22Good night.
01:04:23Good night.
01:04:26Good night.
01:04:27Good night.
01:04:30Mr. Wilson. Are you in bed? Yes. Yes. Sorry. Good night. Good night.
01:04:56Who's that? Jackson. He's Hannah. Came by boat.
01:05:00When? Fifteen minutes ago. Why didn't you let me know sooner? It's this fog. Our men lost their bearings. Watch the front of the house. Come. Come. All right. You stay here. Thank you, sir.
01:05:30I thought you would never come. To this gossip park. Where's the girl? At the end of the corridor. Good. Wilson?
01:05:41He's locked his door. Came out. Offering any inducement.
01:05:45It's in the house.
01:05:52It's Irene. That's Irene.
01:06:12Mr. Wilson. Quick. Miss Foster. Something terrible has happened.
01:06:18I don't know.
01:06:21I don't know.
01:06:23I don't know.
01:06:42I don't know.
01:06:43I think my darling, are you all right?
01:06:55Help!
01:06:56Murder!
01:06:58Help!
01:07:00Break it down.
01:07:05Help!
01:07:06Help!
01:07:10Hold!
01:07:11Hold!
01:07:12Hold!
01:07:13Are you all right?
01:07:14Quite all right.
01:07:15Thank you, Watson.
01:07:17Take them downstairs.
01:07:17As I suspected.
01:07:21As I suspected.
01:07:30Captain Pike.
01:07:31As I suspected.
01:07:33Captain Pike.
01:07:34You were charged with the murders of James Murphy, Malcolm Deering and William Baker.
01:07:38And this woman?
01:07:40As an accomplice.
01:07:41Take them away.
01:07:42Take them away.
01:07:43I saw him killed.
01:07:44I saw him.
01:07:45I saw him killed.
01:07:47I saw him.
01:07:48You saw him pretend to be killed.
01:07:50It was he who attacked you.
01:07:51It was he who attacked you.
01:07:52He was shot.
01:07:53He was shot.
01:07:55No shot broke that window.
01:07:56He broke it himself.
01:07:57But the blood.
01:07:58But the blood.
01:07:59Animal blood.
01:08:00On a sponge.
01:08:01Many of you of course was in on it.
01:08:02Mr. Holmes.
01:08:02There's a second man outside.
01:08:03There's a second man outside.
01:08:07There came the car.
01:08:07I thought it was my duty to detain him.
01:08:09And it's my duty to get the other.
01:08:11I saw him killed.
01:08:11You saw him pretend to be killed.
01:08:14You saw him pretend to be killed.
01:08:15No shot broke that window.
01:08:16I saw him.
01:08:16You saw him pretend to be killed.
01:08:17You saw him pretend to be killed.
01:08:19It was he who attacked you.
01:08:20He was shot.
01:08:22No shot broke that window.
01:08:23He broke it himself.
01:08:24But the blood.
01:08:25Animal blood.
01:08:26On a sponge.
01:08:27Mary-Dew of course was in on it.
01:08:28Mr. Holmes.
01:08:28There's a second man outside.
01:08:31There came the car.
01:08:32I thought it was my duty to detain him.
01:08:34Bring him in.
01:08:42Well, well, well, Mr. Holmes.
01:08:45This is indeed a surprise.
01:08:47What are you doing here?
01:08:49Well, surely a man has a right to visit his own house.
01:08:51I own the mortgage on this place.
01:08:53I've invited some friends down for the weekend to discuss some business.
01:08:57It won't do many to you.
01:08:58Arrest him.
01:08:58Well, this is rather a high-handed procedure.
01:09:03What are the charges, Holmes?
01:09:04The greatest possible.
01:09:07That of being accessory to the murders of James Murphy, Malcolm Deering, and William Baker.
01:09:13And with the attempted murder of Jabez Wilson and Miss Eileen Forrester.
01:09:17Rather a tall indictment.
01:09:19I think you'd better have the bracelets.
01:09:20May I help you?
01:09:22I've more than enough.
01:09:24Then who can tell?
01:09:26I say who can tell?
01:09:28Mr. Made promotion this day.
01:09:35I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Holmes.
01:09:37But how you did it beats me.
01:09:38Simple enough.
01:09:40Simple.
01:09:41Simple?
01:09:43By the examination of the footsteps in the garden of Mr. Deering's house,
01:09:47I'm probably certain of the murderer's description.
01:09:49You'll remember the ring.
01:09:50There was no mark to indicate that it had remained on that finger for a period of six years, as stated by his mistress.
01:09:57His wife, you?
01:09:58Mistress Watson.
01:10:00Mistress.
01:10:01Well, you ought to know.
01:10:03And the scarlet ring?
01:10:05Perhaps you will remember the disappearance of the Mandarin's gems in China some years ago.
01:10:09Perfectly.
01:10:09To realize on gems of international repute would be a ticklish matter.
01:10:14Very.
01:10:14That'd have to be broken up piece by piece and then disposed of carefully and slowly.
01:10:18Exactly.
01:10:19The scarlet ring was formed by the instigators of the original crime to protect the receiving end.
01:10:24And what was Pike's motive?
01:10:26Green.
01:10:27The last survivor would become the recipient of the entire booty.
01:10:30I think it would be found that Pike was the original ringleader.
01:10:34But Mr. Wilson could furnish us with an answer to that.
01:10:37Not one word.
01:10:43We shall never forget you, Mr. Holmes.
01:10:45Rather not so.
01:10:46You must invite me to the wedding.
01:10:48Perhaps you'll give me a wedding.
01:10:49I appreciate the compliment, but I never give a lady a wedding.
01:10:52Except I'm a professional.
01:10:54Come, Doctor.
01:10:56They'll send you when they need you.
01:11:00I'll send you when they need you.
