03:40Violet!
04:10Violet!
04:26Hi, Watson!
04:28Well-timed!
04:30Shake hands with Steve Dixie, the pugilist,
04:33who might have a future in his profession
04:35if he didn't mix with bad company.
04:37What's happening here?
04:39Him, meddling in affairs, what don't concern him.
04:42And I warned him.
04:44And he got cocky.
04:46No, keep talking! Keep talking!
04:48It's fine!
04:50It's fine, is it?
04:53Well, it won't be so damn fine
04:56if I have to thunk you around a bit.
04:59Stop it, Watson! Stop it!
05:01Let us hear who has sent him on this belligerent errand.
05:05Sit down, Dixie.
05:09Talk to me.
05:12Ah, thank you!
05:14Now tell me what this is all about!
05:17I ain't telling you nothing, Mr. Holmes.
05:21Except you keep away from Arrow.
05:23I haven't been in Arrow in months.
05:25You know what I'm talking about.
05:26I'm warning you.
05:28Keep away.
05:30on the matter of the killing
05:33of Perkins outside the Hoban bar.
05:38I had nothing to do with that.
05:42I was training.
05:44Yeah.
05:45At the ball ring in Birmingham when that boy got done.
05:47We'll tell that to the magistrate.
05:49Mrs. Hudson!
05:50Look, no hard feelings, eh, Mr. Holmes?
05:56Mrs. Hudson, there's been a slight disturbance.
05:59Oh, yeah.
06:00I just done what I was told.
06:04My regards to Barney Stockdale.
06:06Are you responsible for this mess?
06:09Well, I'm down your stairs with you.
06:14Oh, he's a harmless enough fellow!
06:16There, come back in!
06:17Uneasily cowed as you see.
06:18Wait with you!
06:19One of the Spencer-John gang.
06:23Assaults, intimidation and the like.
06:25Why would they want to intimidate you?
06:28Who's Barney Stockdale?
06:30His immediate principal.
06:32Who's paying Barney Stockdale, I wonder?
06:45The Three Gables' harrow wheeled.
06:49He's broken our window!
06:51Dear Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
06:53I've had a succession of strange incidents occur to me
06:57in connection with my house.
06:59And I should much value your advice.
07:02You would find me at home any time tomorrow.
07:06I believe that my late husband, Mortimer Maberly,
07:10was one of your early clients.
07:14Yours faithfully.
07:17Mary Maberly.
07:20This comic interlude with Steve Dixie
07:23convinces me there must be something in it
07:26Let us wire her and go out there at once.
07:43I knew your husband well, madam,
07:45but it was some years ago.
07:47Some years since he's been with us, dear man.
07:50Will you try some of this?
07:52I baked it myself.
07:56That's Douglas Maberly.
07:58Yes.
07:59I knew him slightly.
08:01Oh, he's a splendid fellow.
08:03Plays rugby for my old club Blackheath.
08:07I'm his grandmother.
08:08Oh.
08:10I was his grandmother.
08:13He died a month ago.
08:17Died?
08:18You hadn't heard.
08:21No.
08:23It was a sad ending.
08:25I'm so sorry.
08:27He seemed so full of life and energy.
08:29It's hard to connect.
08:32He lived too intensely.
08:35It was the ruin of him.
08:38Was it an accident of him?
08:39I mean, the last I heard,
08:40he'd been appointed attache to our embassy in Rome.
08:43He died in this house.
08:46With pneumonia, they say.
08:48Brought on by a ruptured spleen.
08:52But it's not to talk of my grandson that I asked you here.
08:56Well, we are here, please.
08:58To give you service.
09:02Well, I've been in this house for over a year now,
09:07leading a retired life.
09:08Three days ago, I had a call from a house agent.
09:13The money is no object, madam.
09:16But there's several empty houses round here on the market.
09:20No, this.
09:22My client's heart is set on this one.
09:26Will you name your price?
09:27I suggested five hundred pounds more than I gave for it.
09:33He said that his client...
09:35My client desires to buy the furniture as well.
09:38All of it?
09:39Everything.
09:41But some of it's very good.
09:43Just take your price, Mrs. Mavely.
09:46So I did.
09:48A good round sum and he agreed at once.
09:51You see, I've always wanted to travel around the world if I could.
09:54It's a legacy left to me by my dear Mortimer.
09:58Though, alas, we never really achieved it.
10:02The man returned the next day with everything drawn up?
10:05Yesterday.
10:07Luckily, I showed it to Mr. Sutro, my lawyer.
10:11This is very strange.
10:13Are you aware that you cannot take anything out of the house?
10:18Not even your own personal possessions?
10:20Not my clothes.
10:23My jewelry.
10:25Anything.
10:27When the man returned to the house, you pointed this out?
10:29Yes.
10:30He said I might take some personal effects,
10:33but that nothing should go out of this house unchecked.
10:38My client is very liberal,
10:41but has fads, madam,
10:44and a way of doing things.
10:45I'm afraid it must be everything,
10:49or nothing for my client.
10:52Then it must be nothing.
10:55Here it is.
10:58Haynes Johnson, auctioneer of value and no address.
11:05I doubt we shall find him in the directory.
11:07Honest men don't conceal their place of business.
11:09Just a little wheezy for eavesdropping.
11:15Ah?
11:17I...
11:18I just came in to find out if the visitors were staying for lunch, madam.
11:22Don't force me to use this.
11:23Mrs. Maybelley.
11:24Did you mention to anyone that you were going to consult me?
11:25I did not, Mr. Holmes.
11:26Who posted the letter?
11:27Susan did.
11:28Susan?
11:29Ah.
11:30To whom did you send your message?
11:31I did not, Mr. Holmes.
11:32Who posted the letter?
11:33Susan did.
11:34Susan?
11:35Ah.
11:36To whom did you send your message?
11:37I sent no message.
11:38Tell me.
11:39Susan, I remember now.
11:40I saw you speaking to someone over the hedge.
11:43That was my own business, madam.
11:44Harne Stockdale.
11:45Barnest Stockdale.
11:46I lost my help.
11:47I was already satisfied with my niece.
11:48Oh, I was lost milk.
11:49Who was I?
11:50She was lost milk.
11:51The little knife.
11:52The little knife was hard.
11:54I lost their knife.
11:55Didn't I?
11:56They lost his knife.
11:57I lost himself.
11:59The little knife.
12:00I lost his knife.
12:02The little knife.
12:04Those Debatdon.
12:05I lost his knife.
12:06Fine chance that'd be. I don't even know the man.
12:11It is worth ten pounds to you if you tell me who is at the back of this.
12:16Someone who could lay down a thousand pounds for every ten you've got in the world.
12:21I see a rich man who smiled. A rich woman.
12:29Ten with a name and earn the money.
12:31I'll see you in hell first.
12:37I'll send for my box tomorrow, madam.
12:45This gang means business.
12:47But what can they possibly want?
12:50Mrs. Mabley, you say you've been in this house for a year.
12:53Nearly two.
12:55So for nearly two years, no one has taken any particular interest in the house.
13:00And yet suddenly, within three or four days, urgent demands are made for it and its contents.
13:06Something new must have been bought into the house.
13:09No. I haven't bought anything new for a year.
13:13This Susan, how long has she been with you?
13:17Almost three weeks.
13:19Since your grandson's death?
13:22Well, a week after.
13:24Ah.
13:28She presented herself.
13:31And I took her in, I suppose, without proper reference.
13:35You know, this cake is delicious.
13:38Please.
13:40Now, will you tell us about the circumstances of your grandson's return from Italy?
13:46My gallant boy.
13:48You may remember him as debonair and splendid Dr. Watson.
13:53You didn't see the morose and brooding creature he became.
13:58His heart was broken.
14:01In a single month, I watched him turn into a worn-out, cynical man.
14:12A woman.
14:15He wouldn't speak of it.
14:18He was afraid of upsetting his grandmama.
14:22That's it.
14:25And so you never learnt her name?
14:39It might be advisable for someone to stay with you tonight.
14:43Watson?
14:44Yes, of course.
14:50Oh no, I really couldn't ask such a thing.
14:53No, no, no, no, willingly.
14:57Thank you, Mrs. Mainleby.
14:59I shall be back before dark.
15:01Don't concern yourself.
15:14It might be useful to find this, um, what he called Violet.
15:21He may have confided something to her
15:23that he didn't tell his grandmother in his last hours.
15:30No problems?
15:31Good afternoon, Mr. Dixie.
15:45The old lady and the house are both under my protection.
15:51And don't you forget it.
15:53Make sure they're gone.
16:00Bring your revolver tonight.
16:23D. Douglas Mabley.
16:38Splendid donaire.
16:40Tomorrow's cynical.
16:42Strong words.
16:46Oh no.
16:48No.
16:49Who is this lady with no eyes?
16:59Our course lies there.
17:02There must be something she doesn't know she has.
17:06And probably wouldn't tell us even if she did know.
17:11This is a case for Langdale Pike.
17:13That reptile.
17:14Nonsense.
17:15Don't talk rubbish.
17:17He's a gossip.
17:19He might identify this rich woman.
17:22Sad. He was brilliant at university.
17:25And yet I've always felt that under that veneer
17:29that he was totally isolated.
17:32Like me.
17:33You see that?
17:35That young girl there under the tree
17:38with the occasional hat.
17:40What do you make of her?
17:43She's looking for a dog.
17:44What?
17:47No.
17:48No.
17:49Surely.
17:50Mr. Lukey.
17:52With a turquoise collar perhaps.
17:56She's a stranger in the park.
17:58So is the dog.
18:02There it is now.
18:07How did you know that?
18:09Her boots are country boots.
18:13But not so robust as to suggest a rough terrain.
18:17Wiltshire.
18:19Gloucestershire perhaps.
18:20Yes, yes, yes.
18:21Yes, yes, yes.
18:22But...
18:23Don't you find her...
18:25attractive?
18:29All right.
18:31Why a saluki?
18:33The owners are meant to look like their dogs, they say.
18:36Wouldn't you say saluki?
18:38Remarkable.
18:41She is, in point of fact, Lady Geraldine Windridge.
18:45The close...
18:47Marlborough...
18:49Wiltshire.
18:51And now, my dear Holmes, what is it you really want from me?
18:56The late Douglas Mavely.
19:00Poor boy.
19:03And what a waste.
19:04He was involved with a lady.
19:09A well-placed, rich lady.
19:12Known to you?
19:13I...
19:31Have you something to trade?
19:35Tittle...
19:37for tattle?
19:39Blank, dear.
19:40Blank, dear.
19:42I don't know, honey.
19:51Hello, Mrs. Adora Klein.
19:53Ah, yes.
19:54Widow of the German sugar king.
19:57Quite a celebrated beauty.
19:59THE celebrated beauty!
20:04She's engaged...
20:07to be married...
20:08to the youthful Duke of Lomond.
20:12What else did Pike tell you?
20:13Anything about her and Mavely?
20:15Nothing.
20:17I wonder, Holmes.
20:19Do you think it could be about some compromising letters she wants retrieving?
20:23I mean, particularly in view of her forthcoming marriage.
20:26You mean love letters?
20:28No, no, no. It's deeper than that.
20:29It's deeper than that.
20:31Mr. and I demand...
20:33that you spend...
20:35a sleepless night...
20:37at the Three Gables...
20:39with that revolver at hand.
20:42How will you be spending the evening?
20:45Pursuing the matter from another angle!
20:48Examining the principle!
20:50So...
20:52what is it you have to tell me, Miguel?
20:58That stupid woman Susan has left the Mavely house.
21:02Left?
21:04Was forced to leave, she claims, by Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
21:06He's refused our request to avoid Harrow.
21:09Sherlock Holmes.
21:10Then you did not request him hard enough.
21:18Well...
21:21So Mr. Sherlock Holmes is on the case.
21:25He paid a visit to the old lady...
21:27but left empty-handed.
21:29Have no fear.

21:32We must act tonight.
21:33Arrange it.

31:16Dave Dixie.
31:46Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes, wake up. It's bad news, I'm afraid. Wake up, Mr. Holmes.
32:11Mr. Holmes?
32:16It's bad news, Mr. Holmes. It's the doctor. He's been brutally attacked in Harrow.
32:27No, no, he's alive. He wired, or rather the lawyer did, to say I was to find you if you weren't in
32:34and you're to get there as soon as possible. And I got him a nice piece of mackerel for his tea.
32:41Dora! Where's Dr. Watson?
32:46He's upstairs, sir. How is he?
32:50I don't know, sir. He had a good breakfast.
32:54Your mistress?
32:55She's resting, sir. She won't badly hurt, but she's had a nasty shock. We all have.
33:09Good Lord, what have you run into?
33:12What happened?
33:16Madam says she wants to see you as soon as you arrive, Mr. Holmes, sir.
33:20Oh.
33:22Holmes, she's in a very frail condition.
33:28Physician, you myself.
33:42Mr. Holmes, how good are you?
33:46How are you feeling?
33:49Well, I'm alive.
33:51Thanks to your brave friend, Dr. Watson.
33:54Did he get it back from?
33:57Get what?
33:58Oh, of course you wouldn't know. I don't...
34:02Mr. Holmes, I owe you an apology.
34:05I prayed it would have no bearing, but it does.
34:11Oh, it's so stupid of me.
34:14It's the reason for everything.
34:19Douglas was writing a book.
34:23He said it would explain it all.
34:26He started it in Rome.
34:27And later, when they brought him back here, he sat for hours in a draughty little summer house, writing sometimes in the most dreadful weather.
34:39And later, when he could no longer leave his room, he still struggled with it.
34:56Two copies.
34:57One, he gave to Violet and told her to deliver it to someone I... I don't know who.
35:08He had sworn on to secrecy.
35:11And she kept the promise.
35:15The other copy, he urged me with almost his dying breath to send to his publisher.
35:27I...
35:28I...
35:32Should have done so, but...
35:34On the night of his funeral, missing him so much, I...
35:38I...
35:40I...
35:41should have done so, but...
35:44On the night of his funeral, missing him so much, I...
35:46I...
35:48I read it through.
35:50And he was like, I know what I'm doing.
35:52He's like.
35:53And he was like, I'm so sorry.
35:55much. I read it through. I knew at once what it was, his life. That woman, I didn't even
36:06know her name. The scandal it would cause. I shut it out of my mind, knocked it away
36:18until last night when Dr. Watson reminded me. And they were waiting for you? Yes.
36:24They snatched it from me as I was taking it up to him. All but this. I tore it from the
36:47room. Where is it? Where is it? Megan! Megan! The page. Where is the last page? He has it.
37:13I know he has it. One page? Carine, you're not even Sherlock Holmes. Burn it! Don't go! Burn it!
37:21Face bled and stomach burned from the savage blows. But it was nothing to the bleeding
37:37in his heart when he saw that lovely face. The face which he had been prepared to sacrifice
37:45his life for. She smiled. Yes, by heaven, she smiled. Like the heartless fiend she was.
37:53It was at that moment. It was at that moment that love died and hate was born. If it is not
38:03for your embrace, my lady, then it shall be for your undoing and my complete revenge. My complete
38:14revenge. The he becomes mine. Yes, the writer imagines himself the hero. Two copies. One to Mrs.
38:27Klein. And this for publication. All of London would recognize the wolf and the lamb. Sweet revenge.
38:37Read me that first sentence again. Face bled and his stomach burned from the savage blow. The
38:50cause of death. Mnemonia from a ruptured spleen, the old woman said. Good heavens. Ruptured from
39:03a kick. That's murder. He could never prove it. I'm leaving for Cricklewood.
39:10Steve. Grown a square. Five months ago. That weren't me, Mr. Holmes. You can't put that on me.
39:16It doesn't matter whose boot killed Douglas Mayberry. You're all guilty.
39:19You're all guilty. Ah, Susan. Susan.
39:23Guarding the coop while your husband is in prison. What's the new member, Mrs. Barney Stockdale?
39:30Oh, yes. Take care, Holmes. You get out of here. That woman will put you behind bars for
39:37what you did last night for what you did last night. And her employer, Mrs. Klein of
39:44Grosvenor Square, will see you all hanged for murder. Unless you do what I tell you, when
39:51I tell you. Remember, Mrs. Klein of Grosvenor Square will see you all hanged for murder.
39:56Unless you do what I tell you. When I tell you. Remember, Mrs. Klein of Grosvenor Square will
40:03see you all hanged for murder. Unless you do what I tell you. When I tell you. Remember,
40:14Perkins of Holborn. Watson.
40:29Let me look at you.
40:32What do you see? I see the woman I adore.
41:02I'm ready now. No, stay here. She's not Mariati. She's a woman. That hand needs redressing.
41:23Just remember, Holmes. The female can be more deadly than the male.
41:40More deadly than the male.
41:43Value of an auctioneer, my foot.
42:05Ah, madame.
42:08You again, Holmes.
42:10If you have something to say to my bride, speak out.
42:13Before I kick you out.
42:15No, I have been expecting Mr. Holmes.
42:18Leave us.
42:20I have no intention of leaving you with...
42:22Go, James.
42:26Go.
42:30I'm only surprised it took you so long.
42:33I am surprised that you thought bullies could frighten me.
42:38No man would take up my profession.
42:40If danger did not attract him.
42:44You're a gentleman.
43:03I will treat you as my friend.
43:05I cannot promise to reciprocate.
43:10No doubt.
43:12It was foolish to threaten such a brave man as yourself.
43:15No, what was really foolish for an intelligent woman like you...
43:18...is to place yourself in the part of a band of rascals...
43:23...who could blackmail or give you away.
43:27No, no, I'm not so simple.
43:29None of them have the least idea who their employer is.
43:33But Barney Stockdale and his wife?
43:35They are good hounds.
43:40We're unsilent.
43:41And are prepared to go to prison for you.
43:46They take what comes.
43:48That's what they are paid for.
43:51And, uh...
43:51Mr. Haynes John Unnos surely is not his name.
43:58What is he paid for?
44:01Miguel...
44:03...he's like a brother to me.
44:08As for the others, they work.
44:11And I do not appear in the matter.
44:13Unless I bring you into it.
44:15But you are a gentleman, Mr. Holmes.
44:21You respect a woman's secret.
44:23Oh!
44:25Is murder a woman's secret?
44:32Murder?
44:36My face blurred.
44:39My stomach burned.
44:42From the savage blows.
44:43There was nothing to the bleeding of my heart.
44:45Page 245.
44:50And there's a witness, Mrs. Klein.
44:54The prizefighter, Steve Dixie.
44:57Who will testify against you.
45:01And all this?
45:02You told my future mother-in-law?
45:05Well, I told the Diagers of no importance.
45:08Since she cannot prevent your marriage to her son.
45:11No, she cannot.
45:12Do you believe that you can?
45:16Oh, yes.
45:18Why should you wish to?
45:23Is it because I'm a foreigner?
45:28Are you an English snob, Mr. Holmes?
45:30Let me tell you.
45:33My people have been leaders in Pernambuco for generations.
45:40Madam.
45:43You are the bastard child of a gypsy in Andalusia.
45:47Who told you?
45:58It is my trade.
46:08Now, you must give me the manuscript.
46:09Do you wish for ashes in a paper bag?
46:24You are hard to me.
46:27Look at it with my eyes.
46:29A life's ambition about to be reeled.
46:31The original sin was yours.
46:34Yes, I know, Douglas.
46:37Yes, I did love him, truly.
46:40Yes, yes, I did, for a while.
46:43In my fashion.
46:45But he wanted marriage.
46:47Nothing less will serve him.
46:48But he did not fit with my plans, sir.
46:52And so you had ruffians to beat him until he was nearly dead under your own window.
46:58Is that the act of a lady?
47:00Yes, it is true, Barney.
47:02And the boys drove him and were perhaps a little too roughly.
47:08But what did he do, then?
47:11He wrote a book.
47:12A vicious personal attack.
47:17Was that the act of a gentleman?
47:21You knew his publisher had not received it.
47:24Yes.
47:25So it had to be in the house of his grandmother.
47:29As long as that book existed,
47:32there was no safety for me.
47:36I wanted to do the thing honestly.
47:38I offered any prize she cared to ask.
47:45But she wouldn't take it.
47:48Are we to be blamed for protecting ourselves?
47:56One thing intrigues me.
48:01Why a woman as lovely as you,
48:04who wields such power over men,
48:08needs the protection of anyone.
48:16Nature doesn't give a doubt
48:19for any of us.
48:25I love James.
48:28And I want him.
48:32He represents
48:33all I've ever desired.
48:35and my one chance
48:39of a kind of security
48:42which I call happiness.
48:49And you would take it away from me.
48:55Why?
48:55Why?
49:06Why?
49:07Because you are a destroyer of men.
49:11Oh, yes.
49:12You destroy Douglas Mabley.
49:16And very nearly, my friend,
49:18John Watson,
49:20with a ruthless disregard
49:21for anything but your own selfish interest.
49:25Why have I failed with you?
49:29I require only this,
49:32that I read of the breaking of your engagement
49:34to the Duke of Lomond
49:36by Thursday morning.
49:39And if I refuse?
49:40Scotland Yard.
49:43A full investigation
49:44with witnesses.
49:47I'm at your mercy.
49:50Ask them in the peor.
49:51Do your worst!
49:53Oh, how much does it cost
49:54to go around the world
49:56in first-class style?
49:59Let me see, yes.
50:00You will send a check
50:01for 5,000 pounds
50:03to Mrs. Mabley.
50:04You owe her a little change of her.
50:07Goodbye, Mrs. Klein.
50:08I'm not going to die,
50:12but I shall see you again one day
50:14on the arm of the king.
50:20And therefore,
50:21the celebrated beauty, Mrs. Klein,
50:23has departed for Spain.
50:26Her people have been leaders
50:28in Pernambuco for generations.
50:32Well,
50:34it's a dignified report.
50:35I wonder what others
50:37would have made of it.
50:58You let her off the hook, Holmes.
51:01Compiling a felony, you mean.
51:03Murder.
51:04It would have been impossible
51:07to prove
51:08Mrs. Klein has learnt
51:11that you can't play
51:13with edged tools forever
51:15without cutting those
51:16aging hands of hers.
51:23Time is not on her side.
51:26Shall we?
51:26Yes.
51:27Yes.
51:27Yes.
51:27Yes.
51:27Yes.
