00:00I'm sorry
02:00Thank you very much.
02:03I'm sorry the weather has been unkind for your visit.
02:06Ah, well, unkind for you perhaps, but we British, you know, we're hardy souls.
02:12Ah, well, unkind for you.
02:42Ah, well, unkind for you.
03:12Ah, this is your house, is it?
03:20Yes, please.
03:21You're welcome.
03:22It's very nice.
03:23I suppose, Watson, we must look upon you as a man of letters.
03:31How do you define the word grotesque?
03:35Grotesque?
03:37Oh, strange?
03:40Remarkable?
03:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:41Surely, there's more to it than that.
03:44Some underlying suggestion of the tragic, the terrible.
03:48if you cast your mind back to those narratives with which you've inflicted a long-suffering
03:54public you will see how often the word grotesque has deepened into the criminal
04:02suppose that affair of the red-headed men was grotesque enough at the outset
04:13ah all that most grotesque affair the five orange pips yes which led straight to a murderous
04:23conspiracy another word puts me on the alert now how did you there hmm I've just had the most
04:33incredible and grotesque experience may I consult you Scott Eccles post office Charing Cross
04:43no man or woman oh man no woman would send a reply paid telegram she would have come you see him oh my
04:56dear Watson you know how bored I've been since we locked up Colonel Carruthers life is commonplace
05:12the newspapers are sterile audacity or a man seem to have passed forever from the criminal world
05:21of course I'll see him but as I very much mistaken this is our client Mr. Holmes thank you Mrs. Hudson well
05:29are you Mr. Holmes certainly yes Mr. Holmes I have just had a most singular and unpleasant experience
05:34never in my life have I been subject to such embarrassment and been placed in such a position
05:39please sit down Mrs. Scott Eccles my friend and colleague Dr. Watson now in the first place may I
05:46ask why you have come to me at all oh well sir it didn't appear to be a matter which concerned the
05:52police yet when you've heard the facts you must admit I I couldn't just leave it where it was
05:57now private detectives they're a class with whom I'm absolutely I have no sympathy sit Mr. Scott Eccles
06:04nonetheless having heard your name right I decided now the second place why did you not come to me
06:18at once what do you mean well it is now quarter past two
06:22the telegram is dispatched about one no one could glance at your toilet in that hour without
06:29seeing that your disturbance dates with a moment of your waking
06:32you're right Mr. Holmes yes I never gave a thought to my toilet I was only too glad to get out of such a
06:43house oh oh no no thank you no you see I've been running around making inquiries before I
06:52I came here I called at the house agents you know oh yes yes and they said they said that
06:58that Mr. Garcia's rent was paid up all right and that everything was in order in Mysterio Lodge
07:05oh no come come come come sir you know you're like my friend Watson who has the bad habit of
07:10telling his stories wrong informers now please please arrange your thoughts and let me know
07:16in that you sequence exactly what those events are which have sent you out unbrushed and unkempt with
07:25your dress boots and waistcoat buttoned awry in search of advice and assistance well uh I'm a bachelor
07:35and and being of a sociable turn I cultivate a large number of friends at the table of one of them
07:44recently I met a young fellow named Garcia a pleasant chap of Spanish descent connected in some way with the
07:52embassy we discovered a common interest in cartography or so I thought that's the study of old maps the plan
08:01was to retrace Surrey as Thomas Moule engraved it some 50 years ago well as soon as I arrived
08:07yesterday evening I knew something was wrong the atmosphere of the place the house was tumbled down
08:15depressing Garcia told me he had a wonderful cook a half-breed he'd picked up on his travels
08:23but the dinner it was so ill-prepared and served with such bad grace that it was barely edible I I can
08:32assure you that there were many times in the course of the evening I wish I could have invented some
08:38excuse to leave what did you say well the roots it's fascinating John Ogilby across the Heathland
08:44ah no it wasn't it wasn't just the Heathland it was all over the county I say are you feeling all right
08:51yes sir sorry Luis Luis someone want for a guest
08:57yeah
08:57oh man
09:01what's going on?
09:02calm down, what's going on?
09:05listen
09:06what's going on?
09:08what's going on?
09:10calm down, calm down
09:12yes
09:13he's calling the attention
09:15then wait, there's something coming, come back
09:18come back
09:19are we expecting company?
09:30I would like a drink of that if it's possible
09:49and he made no remark as to the contents of the note?
09:52none
09:53but from that moment he gave up all pretence to conversation
09:59he just sat there smoking these endless cigarettes
10:03about eleven I was going to get to bed
10:06two hours later he looked in at my door
10:10did you ring?
10:11did I ring?
10:12ah please don't wake up it's nearly one o'clock
10:16please go back to sleep
10:18good night
10:19and now I come to the amazing part of my tale
10:23when I woke
10:32when I woke
10:33it was broad daylight
10:34nearly nine
10:36I had particularly asked to be called at eight
10:39so I was very much astonished at this forgetfulness
10:42I say is anybody here?
10:45I'd like some hot water
10:47I rang for the servant
10:49there was no response
10:51somebody?
10:53I say is there a servant available?
10:59I say is there a servant available?
11:06oh this is damnable
11:18I went from room to room
11:20all but deserted
11:22even my host room
11:24the bed had never been slept in
11:26foreign host
11:27foreign footman
11:28foreign cook
11:30all vanished in the night
11:33your experience is so far as I know
11:36perfectly unique
11:38now
11:39what else can you tell me?
11:42well
11:43I was furious
11:45I packed my bags
11:47and I banged the front door behind me
11:49and I set out for Isha
11:52and then I called at Allen Brothers the land agents
11:56and found it was from them that the villa had been rented
12:01rented?
12:02well you see
12:04I couldn't believe that they had gone simply to make a fool of me
12:09I thought you know it must be the rent
12:12but I was wrong
12:15see the agent thanked me for my warning but said that the rent had been paid in advance
12:20by the Spanish Embassy I imagine
12:22I called at the Spanish Embassy
12:25the man is unknown to them
12:27they also asked my friend who introduced us
12:30and he seemed to know less about Garcia than I did
12:32now
12:34this house
12:38we're still in a lodge
12:41I wonder if it's still as you left it
12:45what's troubling you Watson?
12:48well I fear some mundane explanation for events may await us upon our arrival
12:53it's possible we can thank our lucky fate which has rescued us for a few hours
12:58for the insufferable fatigues of idleness
13:02this gentleman recommends the bull in the village
13:17that's if we're to stay overnight
13:23I asked him if he knew Garcia or his servants
13:28did he?
13:29did he?
13:30no
13:32nothing unusual about the outside
13:35let's see what the interior holds for us
13:38I suppose we can be charged with house breaking can we?
13:51what earth could leave such a mess?
13:53yes indeed
13:59let's see what the bedroom has once
14:01had been cleaned andалась
14:04a glass around the house
14:06Mr Holmes
14:21welcome to Wisteria Lodge Mr. Holmes
14:25Inspector Baines of the Surrey Constabulary.
14:30This is Constable Downing.
14:35And you are Mr. John Scott Eccles of Popham House Lee?
14:41I am.
14:42Mr. Scott Eccles, we've been following you about all the morning.
14:48You've traced him for his telegram, I presume.
14:51Exactly, Mr. Holmes.
14:53Yes, we picked up the scent at Charing Cross Post Office.
14:58But what do you want?
15:00Why do you follow me?
15:02We wish a statement, Mr. Scott Eccles,
15:05as to the event which led up to the death of Mr. Aloysius Garcia
15:10of Wisteria Lodge, near Isha.
15:15Dead, did you say?
15:17Oh, yes, he is dead, yes.
15:20But how? An accident?
15:22A murder, sir.
15:23If ever there was one on earth.
15:27Oh.
15:28Oh.
15:30Oh, God, it...
15:31This is awful.
15:36Well...
15:36And you don't mean that I'm suspected?
15:39Well, sir,
15:41your note was found on the dead man's body.
15:44And from it we learned that you had planned to stay here in this house last night.
15:51So I did.
15:54Oh, you did, did you?
15:56I...
15:56Oh, wait.
15:58Baines, I mean, surely all you need is a simple statement.
16:01Yes, Mr. Holmes, but it is my duty to warn Mr. Scott Eccles
16:07that it may be used against him.
16:11Oh, this is my friend and colleague.
16:15Dr. Watson, Inspector Baines.
16:17Yes, of course.
16:18Doctor, your attention.
16:22Oh, Mr. Scott Eccles, you look as if you can do with a drink.
16:25I, uh, found some brandy in the library.
16:27If you pay for me, I'll shave.
16:28Yes, sir, I don't know.
16:30Oh, thank you.
16:33Elbero, sto mangiando tu vestito blanco.
16:36No, me importa, no, me importa.
16:45Elbero, sto mangiando.
16:58I can assure you, Inspector, that, you know,
17:17every word I've said, it is the truth.
17:21I'm bound to say, Mr. Scott Eccles,
17:25that, uh, everything you've said does agree
17:29with the facts as they've come to our notice.
17:33For example, the note that arrived during dinner.
17:37Mr. Scott Eccles, what became of the note?
17:40Well, Garcia rolled it up and threw it in the fire.
17:44What did you say to that, Baines?
17:46It was a dog grate, Mr. Holmes.
17:49He, uh, overpitched it.
17:51I, uh, found this unburnt at the back.
17:58You must have made a very careful examination of the house
18:01to find a single pellet of paper.
18:03Oh, I did, Mr. Holmes, I did.
18:07It's my way.
18:10The note's written on ordinary cream-laid paper
18:14with a watermark.
18:15It's a quarter sheet
18:18the paper's cut off
18:20in two snips
18:22with the short-bladed scissors.
18:25It's been, uh, folded twice
18:28and sealed with scarlet wax.
18:32It's addressed to Mr. Garcia,
18:34Wisteria Lodge.
18:36And it says,
18:38Our own colours
18:42Green and white
18:43Green open
18:46White shut
18:48Main stairs
18:50First corridor
18:52Seventh right
18:54Green bays
18:57Godspeed
19:00D
19:02It's in a woman's writing
19:05done with a
19:06very sharp
19:07pointed pen
19:08But the address
19:10is either done
19:12with a different pen
19:13or by someone else
19:15because it's
19:17thicker and bolder
19:18as you may see,
19:19Mr. Holmes
19:20It's a remarkable note.
19:23I really must congratulate you
19:26on your attention to detail.
19:29There are a few
19:30trifling points
19:32which might perhaps be added.
19:34The seal
19:34is a sleeve link.
19:37What else is of such a shape?
19:40The scissors were bent,
19:42nail scissors.
19:44Short as the two snips are,
19:46you can distinctly see
19:47the slight curve in each.
19:50Oh!
19:50I thought I'd squeezed it dry,
19:56Mr. Holmes.
20:00But I see there was some
20:01still left over after all.
20:08I'm bound to say
20:09that I make nothing of the note
20:11except that
20:13something's on hand
20:16and woman,
20:17as usual.
20:18is at the bottom of it.
20:28I'm very glad
20:29you found the note,
20:31Inspector,
20:31because
20:31it corroborates my story.
20:34But, you know,
20:34I do beg to point out
20:36that I
20:36haven't yet heard
20:38what has happened to Mr. Garcia
20:39or
20:40what has become
20:41of his household.
20:43As for Mr. Garcia,
20:45that's easily answered.
20:47He was found dead
20:50on Okshot Common
20:52this morning.
20:55His head
20:56had been beaten
20:58to a pulp
20:59by a sandbag.
21:00Oh!
21:01Some such object.
21:04With a crush
21:05rather than wounded.
21:07Apparently,
21:08he'd been first
21:10struck down
21:10from behind,
21:11but his assailant
21:13went on
21:13beating him
21:15long after he was dead.
21:16It was a very
21:16furious assault.
21:20Ah!
21:21I mean,
21:21this activity
21:22that we saw
21:22as we approached the house,
21:24were there any footsteps
21:25or clues
21:25as to the criminal?
21:26None.
21:28As yet.
21:29Had Garcia been robbed?
21:31No.
21:32No sign of robbery.
21:33Well, our tenants
21:36seem to have left
21:37little or nothing
21:38behind him.
21:39Apart from the clothes,
21:41some pipes,
21:42a few novels,
21:43two of them
21:44in Spanish.
22:03One of them
22:21is missing.
22:26Hmm.
22:28Yeah.
22:29We might assume
22:31the G stands
22:32for Garcia.
22:34Family heirloom,
22:35perhaps.
22:36Hmm.
22:37The other
22:37was not on the body,
22:39nor has it been
22:40found in the vicinity,
22:42though my men
22:42are still looking.
22:43Do you wish
22:44to look around
22:44the house?
22:45A brief look.
22:48Am I with me?
23:01Holmes.
23:04Holmes.
23:07Holmes!
23:11Holmes!
23:11Holmes!
23:31What have you seen?
23:55What have you seen?
23:59Could have been the devil
24:00for all I know.
24:02Staring eyes
24:03at the window.
24:04Negroid features,
24:05mulatto-like.
24:06He's got away
24:06across the fields.
24:07Maybe just as well.
24:08I don't think
24:08I could have laid
24:09hands on him.
24:11Ah, but it is.
24:13If he is all
24:14the same scale
24:15as his foot,
24:17then he is
24:17certainly a giant.
24:20Well,
24:21whoever he was,
24:23whatever he wanted,
24:24is gone for the present.
24:26And we have more
24:27important things
24:28to attend to.
24:29Downing,
24:38you stay here
24:39and you, sir,
24:42shall come to the station
24:43with me.
24:44Yes, sir.
24:44And let me have
24:45a written statement.
24:46Yes, certainly.
24:47I've come at once.
24:48I hope you don't mind
24:48collaborating with you,
24:49Inspector.
24:49Oh, highly honored,
24:51Mr. Holmes.
24:51Oh, highly honored.
24:53Inspector,
24:54is there a clue
24:54as to the exact hour
24:56of the man's death?
24:57One o'clock.
24:58It rained about that time
25:00and the death
25:01certainly occurred
25:02before the rain.
25:03No, no, no.
25:06That is perfectly
25:08impossible,
25:09Mr. Baines.
25:10No, no.
25:10His voice is very
25:11unmistakable.
25:12I could swear to it
25:13that it was he
25:14who addressed me
25:15in my room
25:16at that very hour.
25:18But he spoke to me
25:19and, you know,
25:20that funny accent of his.
25:21He said,
25:22he's nearly one o'clock.
25:24Remarkable,
25:24but one must
25:25not confuse
25:26the unlikely
25:27with the impossible.
25:30What does he mean
25:31with that?
25:33Certainly some strange
25:35people occupied
25:36that house,
25:37Mr. Holmes.
25:38One of them is dead.
25:40Did some of his companions
25:41follow him
25:42and murder him?
25:43If so,
25:44we should have them,
25:45for every report
25:46is watched.
25:47But my views
25:49are different,
25:49Mr. Holmes.
25:51Yes, sir.
25:52My views
25:53are very different.
25:54You have a theory.
25:55And I'll work it myself,
25:57Mr. Holmes.
25:58Your name is already made.
26:00I get to make mine.
26:01And I should like
26:02to be able to say afterwards
26:03that I solved it
26:05without your help.
26:08Then do you follow
26:09your path
26:09and I will follow mine.
26:11Goodbye, Mr. Scott Eccles.
26:12Goodbye, Mr. Holmes.
26:13Scott Eccles.
26:15Let us consider this note.
26:18Is there a woman involved?
26:19A jealous husband?
26:21Godspeed.
26:22Godspeed, Dean.
26:23That must be our guide.
26:24The man was a Spaniard.
26:28I suggest that the D
26:29stands for Dolores.
26:32It's a common female name
26:33in Spain.
26:34A Spaniard would write
26:36to a Spaniard
26:36in Spanish, Watson.
26:44Thank you, Leper.
26:45Thank you, Leper.
26:45Sit down for us.
26:58Sit down for us.
26:59Sit down for us.
27:03Sit down for us.
27:04Get it back.
27:08Silencio, niñas.
27:34Hansen, Heigel, Josfer.
28:04Mr. Holmes, look what I've found in a gorse bush.
28:15Excellent.
29:04Come on, come on, come on.
29:34Ah!
29:42Ah, I'm serious. Sorry, I see you...
29:45Ah, I'm serious. Sorry, I see you're...
29:47What are you doing?
29:49I'm in the water, I'm in the water.
29:51I'm in the water.
29:53Why did you get in the water? What's going on here, sir?
29:56You are the person.
29:58I see you're lost in my direction.
30:00Ah! Dr. Rakefield! My friend!
30:03Friend and fellow cartographer.
30:06Yes, indeed.
30:07You know, we were so engrossed in trying to chase the bridal path
30:11to the now-vanished hamlet of Ogdor, St Mary,
30:15that we mislaid each other.
30:17And since we were late for Mr. Henderson, I thought,
30:19I'm so glad you found your way here.
30:21I very much regret that Mr. Henderson is too busy to see you today.
30:25No, Lucas.
30:27I will see you.
31:03Um, the purpose of our visit is to inquire
31:16into the history of High Gable,
31:19which we believe has an intriguing and bloodthirsty past,
31:22I mean, since the days of the English Civil War.
31:26I would have no knowledge of that.
31:30I'm only a recent invader.
31:33Ah.
31:34But there are local records in the library.
31:37There are no records of any past violence in this house.
31:44I see.
31:56Then I will detain you no more.
32:00Good day.
32:01I thought you were in London.
32:16For the morning only.
32:18Well, with your usual reluctance to confide your thoughts to me,
32:21I exercise my own mind in the matter.
32:24You'd circle two names on your list.
32:27Henderson and High Gable.
32:28Well, the others are prosaic, respectable people.
32:32Far aloof from romance.
32:34Yes, but this man, Henderson,
32:36he's a very singular creation.
32:39Yes, indeed.
32:40As you may have noticed,
32:41no tea for me,
32:42the house
32:43is double-winged.
32:45One side the servants,
32:45the other side the family.
32:46There is one single connecting door
32:50for the Henderson family meals.
32:52Oh.
32:52You sure you couldn't observe all that
32:54for a short time you were there, Holmes?
32:55Ah, there are no better instruments for gossip
32:57than discharge servants,
32:58and I was lucky enough to find one
33:00who had been sacked
33:01by his imperious master, Henderson,
33:03in a fit of violent temper.
33:06Now, the Henderson girls whom you encountered
33:08have a governess,
33:12a Miss Burnett, an English woman.
33:14Here is a very singular fact.
33:16She has not been seen
33:17since the night of the murder.
33:19She has utterly vanished.
33:21I've seen her.
33:23Of course!
33:25I've seen her,
33:26and she is alive.
33:27I saw at the window at High Gable.
33:30My God, a prisoner.
33:33She slipped my mind.
33:36The moment those awful gorgons
33:37descended upon me.
33:39She is alive.
33:40I've seen her.
33:46That's the man I saw.
33:48I'm chased.
33:49Baines has arrested the wrong man.
33:52Ah, Watson.
33:53Hey, we must stop him.
33:54Is he the murderer?
34:09Did he kill the spanded on the car?
34:11Where did he capture him?
34:12This man is the murdered man's cook
34:17who disappeared on the night of the crime.
34:19We believe there were valuables left in the house
34:22and that their abstraction was the most
34:25that had been seen in the vicinity of the house once before.
34:29The second time...
34:31Subduing Higgins Blankenshaw!
34:37The second time we left an ambuscade for him.
34:41We shall be applying for remand
34:44when the prisoner is brought before the magistrates.
34:46That will be all for now, gentlemen.
34:47Thank you very much.
34:49Was it on the...
34:50Where did he capture him?
34:52Baines.
34:53I am not convinced that you are on the right line.
34:55Mr Holmes doesn't want you to commit yourself too far
34:58unless you're sure.
34:59Oh, you're a very kind gentleman.
35:04But, uh...
35:05We did agree to work on our own lines, didn't we?
35:10And that's what I'm doing.
35:13You're welcome always to my news.
35:18This fellow is as strong as a cart horse
35:20and fierce as the devil.
35:23He nearly bit off Constable Downing's thumb
35:26before they managed to master him.
35:28He speaks hardly in English
35:30and we can get nothing out of him
35:32but grunts.
35:35And you think
35:36that you have evidence
35:38that he murdered his late master?
35:41I didn't say so, Mr Holmes.
35:45I didn't say so.
35:47We all have our own little ways.
35:53You will go yours
35:55and I will go mine.
35:57That was the agreement.
35:59I think Baines is riding for the fall.
36:07I'd have to agree with you there.
36:09You appreciate our difficulty, Watson.
36:18There's nothing upon which we can apply for a warrant.
36:21And with our worthy inspector making his arrest,
36:36our theory would seem fantastic if laid before the magistrate.
36:39And yet you think the lady is in danger of her life.
36:41Yes, I'm sure of it, Watson.
36:42Therefore, we must take the law into our own hands.
36:48We must take the law into our own hands.
37:01Top left bay.
37:02We could reach it from that outhouse.
37:32Top left.
37:54Ah!
38:02They're making for the station.
38:11The fire comes to London.
38:12Right.
38:32The fire comes to London.
39:02The fire comes to London.
39:32Stop it!
39:34Stop it!
39:35Stop it!
39:36Stop it!
39:38Stop it!
39:40Stop it!

40:43Stop it!
40:44Stop it!
40:45Stop it!
40:46Stop it!
40:47Stop it!
40:48We can't arrest without Miss Burnett's evidence, can we?
40:52I shall be able to give you that in a moment, but tell me, who is this man, Henderson?
40:57He's Don Murillo, known as the Tiger of San Pedro.
41:02One of the most dangerous men out of Central America.
41:06Oh, indeed. A most lewd and bloodthirsty tyrant.
41:10Who imposed his odious vices upon a cowering people for almost 12 years.
41:18Was it the San Pedro collars green and white that first put you onto it?
41:25That and my visit to London, to the Spanish embassy in the Foreign Office.
41:28No, please, this is your case, Inspector.
41:32Oh.
41:34Five years ago, there was a rising against the tyrant.
41:39But it was an empty palace they stormed.
41:42Don Murillo, his secretary, two children and all the wealth.
41:46And escaped by ship.
41:50And from that moment, they disappeared from the face of the earth.
41:55His identity has been a subject of constant comment in the European press.
42:00We discovered him a year ago.
42:04Miss Burnett.
42:05How came you into this matter, Miss Burnett?
42:10An English lady in such a murderous affair?
42:14Because there is no other way in the world by which justice can be gained.
42:17What does the law of England care about the rivers of blood shed so many years ago in San Pedro?
42:28Or the shipload of treasure that this man has stolen from us?
42:33To you, they're like crimes committed in some other planet.
42:37We know.
42:45My real name is Signora Victor Durando.
42:49My husband was the minister of San Pedro in London.
42:54He met and married me there.
42:55A noble man never lived upon the earth.
43:06Unhappily, Murillo heard of his excellence
43:11and recalled him on some pretext
43:16and shot him
43:20by a stroke of
43:22of premonition.
43:25My husband had refused to take me with him.
43:30Then came the downfall of the monster.
43:33He escaped, as you have described.
43:35But the many whose lives he had ruined,
43:37whose loved ones had suffered torture and death at his hands,
43:40would not let the matter rest.
43:41We banded ourselves into a society
43:43which would never be dissolved until the work was done.
43:47It was my part to attach myself to his household
43:50and keep the others in touch with his movements.
43:52I secured the position as governess.
44:01He little knew that the woman who faced him at every meal
44:04was the woman whose husband he had hurried to eternity.
44:08I smiled on him,
44:09did my duty to his children,
44:11and bided my time.
44:18An attempt was made in Paris and failed.
44:21We zigzagged
44:22here and there swiftly over Europe
44:25to throw off our pursuers
44:26and finally returned to High Gable.
44:31Garcia had been waiting there for nearly a year
44:33with two trusty companions,
44:35all fired with the same reasons of revenge.
44:38Who was Garcia?
44:39Garcia.
44:42The son of Fernando Garcia.
44:45One of the former highest dignitaries of San Pedro,
44:48who was murdered...
44:51like your husband.
44:54This note you sent,
44:57you say it was intercepted?
45:00During the day,
45:01Murillo took every precaution
45:02and never went out
45:04save with his satellite,
45:06Lucas.
45:07Even at night,
45:08the man was forever on the alert
45:10and continually changed his room.
45:13We had arranged
45:14that I would send Garcia final instructions.
45:17The doors would be open
45:18and the signal of a green or white light
45:20in a window which faced the drive
45:22was to give notice if all was safe
45:23or if the attempt
45:25had better be postponed.
45:30To whom were you writing this letter?
45:48which describes, it would seem,
45:51the room in which I intend to sleep tonight.
45:56Who is your confederate?
45:59Who is your confederate?
46:00What is your real name, Ms. Burnett?
46:08My name is Gerando.
46:13Gerando, sweetheart.
46:17In my house.
46:20Looking close to my children.
46:24Let me kill you now, traitor!
46:26You can kill me now!
46:27What is my life's worth?
46:28You have destroyed everything that I love!
46:30Who are you writing to?
46:32Tell me!
46:33Senor Gerando?
46:34Who?
46:35Is it a name you fear?
46:36He is waiting for you.
46:37Garcia?
46:38I...
46:39I...
46:40I...
46:41I...
46:42I...

47:11Mysterio Lodge.
47:13He is waiting to dispatch you to hell.
47:17You fiends!
47:19I knew the boy well.
47:21His father was once my dearest friend.
47:25You murdered him!
47:26He betrayed me.
47:31And so did your husband.
47:39And now they send the wives and sons.
47:42Will you never learn?
47:46I am indestructible.
47:47Oh.
47:48That was the son of my father.
47:50I was there.
47:52Oh.
47:53Oh.
47:58How much do you do that?
47:59Oh.
48:00hot water?
48:01My husband.
48:01At first they were of a mind to let him enter the house
48:04and kill him as a detected burglar.
48:06But they feared the inquiry might publicly expose them.
48:09I don't know.
48:39I don't know.
49:09I don't know.
49:39I don't know.
50:09I don't know.
50:39I have no doubt that my life too hung in the balance.
50:50For most of the time I was confined to my room, terrorized by the most horrible threats to break my spirit.
51:00Occasionally I was allowed out, but only when they had first drugged my food.
51:07And it was in this state that you found me at the station.
51:14And thanks to this good man, I am beyond their power forever.
51:20Well, Inspector, our police work is done.
51:31But our legal work begins.
51:33Exactly, Mr. Holmes, yes.
51:35Yes, Garcia's death in the hands of a plausible lawyer could look like an act of self-defense.
51:42I think better of the law than that.
51:44Self-defense is one thing, but to entice a man in cold blood with the object of murdering him is another.
51:49Whatever danger you fear from him, I think we shall see justice done at the next go for the sizes.
51:54Of course, you have released the mulatto.
51:56Yes, sir, he's a free man again.
51:59And your man is with the fugitives on the train?
52:00Yes, sir, yes, and I've wired Scotland Yard to have their men at Waterloo Station to receive them, yes.
52:08You know, I really must congratulate you, Inspector.
52:11Your powers, if I may say so, without offense, are superior to your opportunities.
52:16You're right, Mr. Holmes.
52:18In the provinces we stagnate.
52:21A case like this gives a man a chance.
52:38A case like this is a man a chance.
53:08A case like this Is there a man a chance.
53:09You're right, Mr. Holmes.
53:13I know, Sir.
53:18A case like this is a man.
53:20You're right, Mr. Holmes.
53:25A case like this is a man.
53:27You're right, Mr. Holmes.
53:30He will never talk.
53:31Everyone's good.
53:32He is the man he is the the teacher.
53:35Bye.
