00:53Fred, you scared me out of ten years' growth.
00:56You seen that, up yonder?
00:59I have.
01:00A light in a deserted house.
01:02Him as lived there died of the typhoid, their drains.
01:05Maybe he's come back for a squint if the drains won't kill him.
01:09Reckon it's our duty to have a squint too, eh?
01:13Aye, our duty.
01:14We've no warrant.
01:36Give him a yell.

02:19The End
02:49Holmes
03:00Holmes
03:05No danger, Watson.
03:14I was merely creating a little excitement to ease the boredom of inactivity.
03:18What do you use our brains in our profession when there is no real crime to detect?
03:24Nothing complex, nothing worthy of my talents.
03:30Interesting.
03:31What? That chap looking for an address?
03:34Yes, the ex-sergeant of Marines.
03:37He works for the government now, police in all probability.
03:40How on earth can you know that?
03:43Ah, he's found us.
03:45I'll go.
03:53For Mr. Holmes. Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
03:57Oh, I say.
03:59May I ask what your trade might be?
04:01Government employment, sir.
04:03Police workers, you might say.
04:05Were you ever at the Colors?
04:06Man and boy, sir. Marines.
04:08Three stripes up.
04:09Old army man yourself, sir.
04:12Oh, uh, briefly, yes.
04:14Good day to you.
04:15And you, sir.
04:22Well, never fathom how you do it.
04:26That man.
04:27Former sergeant.
04:28Old Marines, quite.
04:30For you.
04:32From Gregson, at Scotland Yard.
04:34You remember Gregson?
04:36That's smart, young chap.
04:37Smart.
04:39He'd know a hawk from a handsaw, I dare say.
04:43Old rival of friend Lestrade.
04:46No love lost between those two gentlemen.
04:50We gods, did I say just now, there were no crimes worthy of our minds.
04:54Watson, your hat.
04:55The game's afoot.
05:04Stop, driver.
05:05Stop.
05:13How much, Kebby?
05:14One shilling even, sir.
05:16Thank you, sir.
05:19No, man, no.
05:21Go back the way you came.
05:25There goes another man in London who thinks you're mad.
05:29Perhaps you should have told him you're my doctor, Watson.
05:32Found anything?
05:50It rained last night.
05:52For the first time in over a week.
05:54Dryest water I can recall.
06:00Here, sir.
06:01You can't go in there.
06:03Who do you think he is, then?
06:05Sherlock Holmes.
06:06Hmm, yes.
06:17Good.
06:18You found something?
06:24Six feet, if he was an inch.
06:28Holmes.
06:29Very kind of you to come.
06:30I've left everything as it was.
06:32Nothing's been touched.
06:34Nothing, Gregson?
06:35Was it entirely necessary to run a herd of buffalo across the pathway repeatedly?
06:40Or had you drawn your own conclusions before the stampede?
06:44I...
06:45I've had much to do.
06:47Inside, I mean.
06:49I was relying on my...
06:50colleague to look after things out here.
06:53Your colleague?
06:54Mr. Lestrade.
06:55Ah, so, so.
06:58And what have you and your colleague Lestrade found out thus far?
07:02I believe I've...
07:03we've done all that can be done.
07:05How much is that?
07:07Deuce little.
07:08It's a queer business.
07:09Very complex.
07:10You're stumped?
07:12No.
07:13Why send for us, then?
07:14I thought you might be interested.
07:16So I am, Gregson.
07:18So I am very interested.
07:20Did you come here by can?
07:22No.
07:22Did Lestrade?
07:24No.
07:25Why?
07:26Good.
07:26Very good.
07:28Capital, in fact.
07:29So, let us go and consider the unfortunate gentleman.
07:36Who was he?
07:38Enoch J. Dreber.
07:40Of Cleveland, Ohio.
07:42Late of Cleveland, Ohio.
07:45Anything known?
07:46Not much, I'm afraid.
07:48After you, Doctor.
07:50Good morning, Dr. Watson.
07:52Oh, is it, Lestrade?
07:54No, it's not.
07:55This is a bad business.
07:57Who found the body?
07:59We did, sir.
08:00Proper horrible it was, too, sir.
08:02Be and Murchie here...
08:03All in good time, my dear fellow.
08:05Facts first, details after.
08:07Would you mind?
08:08Oh, uh...
08:09Yes, sir.
08:09Yes, sir.
08:22This is a puzzle to me.
08:25You're sure there is no wound?
08:27Positive?
08:27None.
08:28Then the blood on the floorboards belongs to a second individual, presumably the murderer.
08:33If murder has been committed.
08:37If murder's been committed?
08:39How was this done, then, do you suppose?
08:41I never suppose, Lestrade.
08:44It biases one's judgment.
08:46The body hasn't been moved.
08:50You see him as we found him, Mr. Holmes?
08:53Just as we found him, sir.
08:54Laid out stark and cold and...
08:57Blimey.
08:58Very well.
09:02Take him to the mortuary.
09:03There's nothing to be gained by keeping him.
09:21A ring.
09:23A woman's wedding ring.
09:25That complicates matters.
09:27Well, perhaps it simplified them.
09:30What else did you find about his person, constable?
09:40Barrowed of London.
09:42What do you think of that, Watson?
09:47Look, I couldn't afford such a timepiece on an army pension.
09:51The gentleman had money.
09:53But no purse.
09:54He carried only loose chains to the value of seven pounds and a few pence.
10:00We've already discounted robbery at the motive.
10:06Enoch J. Drebber.
10:09Cleveland.
10:09Joseph Stangerson, Esquire, to be called for at the American Exchange, the Strand.
10:20From the Atlantic Steamship Company, giving details of sailing times, the unfortunate Mr. Drebber was to return to America.
10:28Anything known about this Joseph Stangerson?
10:31I sent one of my men around to the American Exchange.
10:35They have no forwarding address for him.
10:38You've telegraphed Cleveland?
10:39Yes, sir.
10:40Asking for any information which might assist our inquiry.
10:43What information specifically?
10:46About Stangerson.
10:47Nothing more crucial.
10:49No, sir.
10:50Than telegraph again now.
10:52This is my case, Mr. Holmes.
10:55I believe I've just solved it for you.
10:57Forget the ifs, gentlemen.
10:59It's murder right enough.
11:00And here is the name that will lead us to the murderer.
11:03Jimson, Mr. Lestrade, evening news.
11:14It is my professional opinion that the word Rach is the name Rachel, and that the writer, undoubtedly the murderer, was disturbed before he had time to finish inscribing said name upon said wall.
11:27Is it true that Mr. Holmes is involved with the case?
11:29Mr. Holmes has volunteered his services, yes.
11:33And what is Mr. Holmes' opinion?
11:42Rot.
11:44Lestrade's conclusion.
11:45Wall pitfall, my dear chap.
11:47Utter tosh.
11:49Six feet seven and three quarters.
11:51Splendid, Watson.
11:53We are not looking for any Rachel.
11:55Indeed, far from it.
11:57You can't be, sir.
11:58Indeed, I can be.
12:00But where's the evidence?
12:01Everywhere.
12:03One finds what one seeks, young man, although it does help to know what one is looking for.
12:08Or rather, how to interpret what one is looking at.
12:11Mr. Holmes.
12:13Recall our meeting earlier today.
12:15The wheel marks on the drive were fresh and deep.
12:18Since neither you nor Lestrade arrived by cab, they had to be made last night.
12:23But what's that mean?
12:24It means, Gregson, that two individuals arrived by cab during the night, and one of them was Enoch J. Drebber.
12:33And the other?
12:34Stangerson?
12:35Perhaps.
12:35If Stangerson stands six feet tall, wears hobnailed boots, and has long nails on the fingers of his right hand, a few indications only, Gregson, that they may assist you in apprehending the murderer.
12:48Oh, we are looking at murder, then.
12:51A very complicated murder, Watson.
12:53No, it's too fantastic.
12:56There's nothing to work on but a body, a ring, a half-finished word.
13:00You couldn't produce so much from so little.
13:03Again, recall our earlier meeting.
13:05You found me studying a puddle.
13:07Drebber wore patent-leather shoes and walked around the puddle.
13:10His murderer, however, wore hobnailed boots and stepped across the puddle, a stride of four feet taken without effort, and indicating legs long enough to substantiate a height of at least six feet.
13:24Very well.
13:24What about the fingernail?
13:26Ah, observe the word.
13:29It was inscribed with a forefinger.
13:31See how the plaster has been scratched around the downstroke.
13:35Whoever wrote the word with his forefinger had untrimmed nails.
13:39Elementary?
13:40Quite so.
13:42Then, who is Rachel?
13:44A figment of Lestrade's imagination.
13:48You discover the body, Constable Rance?
13:51First upon the scene, sir.
13:52After you had found the body and raised the alarm, what did you see then?
13:57Well, sir, confusing it was, but I...
14:01Yes, I saw a... a drunkard, sir.
14:05I saw a man far gone in liquor.
14:07Describe him.
14:09Well, sir, that he were a long chap.
14:11Six feet and more.
14:13Easily that, sir.
14:14Muffler covering half his face, long brown coat.
14:18Only, now that you've forced me mind to it, sir, I don't think the blight was tight at all.
14:24No, Constable, neither do I.
14:27Is it important, do you think, sir?
14:30Perhaps.
14:30What became of him?
14:32I shooed him off, sir.
14:33Sent him about his business.
14:35Was he carrying a twip?
14:36Not, as I recall, sir.
14:39Hmm.
14:39And whoever she may be, the mysterious Rachel is the heart of this grim and terrible business.
14:48Well, what did Constable Rance have to say?
14:51He gave me the identity of the murderer.
14:54Rachel?
14:54There is no Rachel.
14:57And there's a woman involved, of course.
15:00The wedding ring we found shows that.
15:02But she is long dead.
15:04But the name on the wall.
15:06Did you notice anything about it?
15:08Well, it was a medieval script.
15:10Germanic.
15:11Exactly.
15:12But contrive, my dear fellow.
15:15Are you up in languages, Watson?
15:17There's a bustoo, a smattering of Hindi.
15:20I can negotiate the menu in a French restaurant.
15:23No German.
15:24R-A-C-H-E in German is Rache, which means revenge, Watson.
15:34Someone else is going to die.
15:36What begins, Watson?
15:52I have an answer to my American telegram.
15:55My view of the case is the correct one.
15:57Oh, what is your view of the case, Holmes?
16:00Do you still have your service revolver, Watson?
16:03Yes.
16:03Better clean and load it.
16:05He will be a desperate man.
16:07Who?
16:08The murderer.
16:09He'll be calling this evening between 8 and 9.
16:12Read this.
16:14Found.
16:15In Brixton Road this morning.
16:18A plain gold wedding ring.
16:20Apply, Dr. Watson.
16:22To 21B Baker Street.
16:24Between 8 and 9 this evening.
16:26Excuse me for using your name, old fellow.
16:30My fiddle would be better for new strings.
16:33Oh, gee.
16:35Assuming anyone does apply, I don't have a wedding ring to give them.
16:40This will do.
16:42Keep your pistol ready.
16:43When the fellow comes, speak to him calmly and don't alarm him by looking at him too hard.
16:49But why should the murderer be anxious for this ring?
16:52It's precious to him, Watson.
16:54More precious than a man's life.
16:56The murderer will risk anything rather than lose the ring.
17:01I believe he dropped it while stooping over Drebber's body.
17:05After leaving the house, he discovered his loss and hurried back and found Constable's rounds and Murcher already there.
17:11Yes, but who is he?
17:14Stangerson?
17:15Definitely not.
17:17That telegram you received this morning told you as much?
17:20Yes.
17:21They're being followed, Watson.
17:23Clumsy, Wiggins.
17:34That won't do, boy.
17:36No fooling you, Mr. Holmes.
17:38Royal men.
17:39The Baker Street Irregulars.
17:52These youngsters go everywhere and see everything.
17:56They're as sharp as needles and worth a dozen men in blue.
17:59That we are.
18:00Here we are, son.
18:01Have you found it, Wiggins?
18:03No, sir.
18:04Not yet, we ain't.
18:05Keep on until you do.
18:07Where are your wages?
18:09Come back with a better report next time.
18:22Right you are, Mr. Holmes.
18:24Morning, gentlemen.
18:26Mr. Brixen's compliments, sir.
18:28And would you join him at the station?
18:29He's got the Brixen murderer, sir.
18:32His name is Arthur Charpentier, lieutenant in Her Majesty's Navy.
18:36His mother runs a boarding house in Torquay Terrace, where Drebber and Stangerson stayed
18:41prior to coming up to London the day before yesterday.
18:44Have you got a confession from him?
18:46Not yet.
18:47What I do have is evidence and motive.
18:51The American Exchange had no forwarding address for Enoch J. Drebber.
18:55I traced him through the label in his hat.
18:57Underwood and Sons, Camberwell Road.
19:00The man at Underwood's remembered making the hat for an American gentleman living at Torquay Terrace.
19:05He wasn't a gentleman.
19:07He was an animal.
19:08A drunken, bullying animal.
19:09He treated my sister abominably.
19:11And that is why you killed him, Lieutenant Charpentier.
19:14Because of your sister.
19:15I didn't kill him.
19:17I felt like it, but I didn't know.
19:19How tall are you, Lieutenant?
19:20Tall?
19:21Why, five feet and I?
19:23That proves the I'm man's innocence, Gregson.
19:26Sorry, Mr. Holmes.
19:28I've got the man and the motive.
19:31Good morning, gentlemen.
19:33Who's he?
19:34The Brixton murderer.
19:35I've had him in custody for five hours.
19:38Then he isn't the murderer.
19:40You're found, Stankerson?
19:42I have indeed, at Halliday's private hotel.
19:44What's he got to say?
19:46Nothing.
19:51Mr. Joseph Stankerson was killed by a deep knife wound to the left side,
19:55which penetrated the heart.
20:03Who discovered the body?
20:05Me, sir.
20:06The gentleman asked to be called for breakfast.
20:09I come up and there he was.
20:10Blood everywhere.
20:12Cool.
20:13Hmm.
20:14And you?
20:15I'm the milkman, sir.
20:17You saw the murderer?
20:18I did, sir.
20:19He was climbing out that very window there.
20:22A ladder was up against the wall outside.
20:24I thought he was the hotel carpenter.
20:27The man you saw was tall, wearing a long brown overcoat.
20:31A scarf and that.
20:32That's him, all right.
20:34Hotmail boots?
20:35Yes.
20:41Cleveland, October the 3rd.
20:44J.H. is in Europe.
20:45I don't need a microscope to tell me Stankerson wasn't poisoned, Mr. Holmes.
21:13No, but Trevor was.
21:15What?
21:16Right.
21:17Our man miscalculated here.
21:20There will be no more murders.
21:22Oh, yes.
21:24Certain of that, are you?
21:25As certain as I am of the murderer's identity and whereabouts.
21:29No.
21:30Do not press me for that information, gentlemen.
21:32I have my own methods, and should this dangerous and clever man have the slightest suspicion I am onto him,
21:39he would vanish without trace and make a laughingstock of all of us.
21:43Maybe.
21:45No.
21:45typhrine vogue, no.
21:46No.
21:47No.
21:48No.
21:48No.
21:49No.
21:49No.
21:50No.
21:51No.
22:06No.
22:08Dr. Watson?
22:16Yes?
22:18I come about your notice in the newspaper, sir,
22:22a wedding ring, what I lost last night in the Brixton Road, sir.
22:26Oh, is this the ring?
22:29Bless you, sir, the very one.
22:32Then I am happy to restore it to its rightful owner, madam.
22:36Oh, bless you, sir, bless you, bless you, sir.
22:39Oh, no, no, think nothing of it, I assure you.
22:42Good night.
22:44Not what I expected, Holmes.
22:47J.H. is a compass, Watson.
22:49She'll lead me to him.
22:56J.H.
22:57Drive to 13 Duncan Street, Amstitch.
23:10Right you are, Mum.
23:11We're here, Mum.
23:29Mum?
23:29What day?
23:32Now, madam.
23:37Easy at home.
23:41Baker Street, driver.
23:42I don't like it.
23:56He flipped through our fingers.
23:58Not yet.
23:59No ship sail for America until Saturday.
24:01That gives us two days.
24:03If he sail into America...
24:05Where else?
24:06His work here is completed.
24:08And, of course, gentlemen, there are reputations to consider.
24:13He's a-coming, sir.
24:16Oh, the juice did you get in here, boy?
24:18Slip through the pantry window, sir.
24:20Never seen such cheeses.
24:22Best I ever had.
24:23You're certain it's the man himself, Wiggins?
24:25The wary one you asked for, Mr. Holmes.
24:28Good boy.
24:28Take this and don't go through the front door.
24:31I wouldn't know the front door, sir.
24:32They ain't no use in my line of work.
24:40That will be necessary, Watson.
24:42I have these.
24:44There's the cab.
24:45Conceal yourselves, gentlemen.
24:47Watson, ask the driver to lend a hand with the luggage, would you?
24:52In here, driver.
24:54Evening, sir.
24:56Yes.
24:57Help me with the straps on the large truck, would you, cabman?
25:01Would you, cabman?

25:32Your father was a good man.
25:52I know.
25:53That's what I hated about him.

36:16Wow.

36:27Well, that's all in the past.
36:29We'll be on our way to Europe next week.
36:31Forget Jefferson Hope.
36:32The two devils led me the merriest chase you could imagine.

37:00Rocher.
37:01Rocher.
37:02Rocher.
37:02Rocher.
37:02That's revenge, as them Germans say it.
37:05Thought I was being real smart using that bit of German talk to throw you off my scent.
37:11I near got Drebber and Joe Spangerson in Berlin, you know.
37:14Is that where you acquired the strychnine tablets?
37:17In Berlin?
37:17Sure was.
37:19Them two lit out for England, and by the time I got me to London, I was down on the last dime.
37:26I needed work real bad.
37:28And that's when you took up driving a Hanson.
37:30I don't know who you are, sir, but it seems to me you know more about me than I do.
37:39Perhaps.
37:40And that's my function.
37:42Then, just the other night, I got me a fair Houston station.
37:48I got business, Joe.
37:50Personal business.
37:51All I'm saying is, it's why do we stick together, Mr. Drebber.
37:55You say too much, Joe.
37:57I'll be back by 11.
37:59But now, you just hole up in Halliday's Hotel, and you stay there till I show.
38:03Understand?
38:04Whatever you say, Mr. Drebber.
38:06Right.
38:07Whatever I say.
38:10Ted, sir?
38:14Torquay Terrace.
38:16Let's make it a quick trip.
38:19I've got you now.
38:29Keep away from my sister.
38:39You come near her again, and I'll kill you, Drebber.
38:42My word on that, you animal.
38:44We haven't changed one, but it makes my chore a sight easier.
38:52Stop in the next saloon, or public house, or whatever it is you call over here.
38:59Wait for me.
39:02An hour or two more ain't gonna trap my patience.
39:04I'll be right back.
39:27Whoa.
39:27If one of us is sober, he can drive me to Halliday's Riley Hotel, Houston Station.
39:57We are here, sir.
40:12Sir?
40:13We are here.
40:27Yes, you should have rung the bell first.
40:52Well, it's more polite.
40:55This here, Halliday's private hotel is a flea pit.
41:00How come a rich man like me staying in a flea pit like this?
41:05Taint right.
41:06Where's Stangerson?
41:09Call the manager.
41:10You hear me, boy?
41:12I hear you, Trevor.
41:14Mr. Trevor, you...
41:16You!
41:17What are you doing here?
41:19It's judgment day, Trevor, for one of us.
41:24Don't kill me!
41:25I...
41:25I can buy my life!
41:27I'm rich!
41:28Take it all, let everything!
41:30Only...
41:30Only let me live, Hope!
41:31For pity's sake, let me live!
41:34Maybe it's me who's gonna die.
41:36The decision ain't mine.
41:38I ain't no murderer.
41:40You're the one who shut down Jack Ferriere.
41:42No!
41:42Joe Stangerson did that!
41:44Then he'll pay for that old man's life.
41:46And you only lose it, sir.
42:02Don't kill me!
42:04One of these got strict, Nyle.
42:07Take your chances, Trevor.
42:09You're mad!
42:10You are so!
42:19Now!
42:21Take it!
42:28The hunt for years to die to give you a serious quiΓ©n to come.
42:32What are you doing?
42:33The hunt for years to come.
42:34The hunt for years to come.
42:34Let's come.
42:34Look!
42:35Come on!
42:35Look!
42:36The hunt for years to come.
42:37I can Isa!
42:38and having murdered drebber you drove away to drebber killed himself with a little prompting
42:50you'll admit don't upset him homes he's getting weaker i won't go yet just shows the power of
42:57prayer or hatred or love when did you realize you had lost lucy's wedding ring on my way to
43:05finding stangerson i had to go back for it it was like i'd lost lucy all over again and when you
43:12returned to the brixton road the police were already on the scene that's why i had to act drunk
43:18i believe i had that bobby food too did i i think you did i knew stangerson would wait for his boss
43:27for as long as his boss wanted to keep him waiting so i just scouted the place out
43:33looks really
43:37and you mr drebber no it ain't drebber is dead no
43:56the hour reckoning comes to you too i give you the choice of poison pills same as i give you boss
44:02he flung himself at me
44:06and while we were struggling he rolled over on his knife
44:17he would have died in any case providence wouldn't have allowed joe stangerson to go unpunished
44:25i went on cabin intending to raise the fair home
44:38then tonight this raggedy youngster pulls me up and says a gentleman wants a cab from 221 b baker street
44:50i knew where i was going but it didn't seem like much to worry about after they arrested charpentier
44:57maybe i wanted to be caught
45:00i guess i got my wish huh
45:03least ways justice has been done for lucy and old jack ferrier
45:08who was it you sent to collect the ring from dr watson
45:11wouldn't do no good for you to know
45:13after she gave you the slip she lit out and took lucy's ring with her
45:17not the original
45:18i substituted another
45:20i knew you tried to get it back
45:23you was out of me from the first huh
45:25who left a distinct trail for me to follow
45:27no more questions
45:30no more time
45:32neither
45:33whatever our personal feelings in the matter the law must be complied with
45:43when he is fit enough the prisoner will be brought before the magistrates and formally charged with murder
45:48he's guilty
45:49legally i mean
45:51but morally i wonder
45:53a higher judge has taken the matter of jefferson hope in hand
46:02how did you know the name of the man we were looking for holmes
46:15the wedding ring stirred my curiosity watson
46:18i telegraphed the chief of police in cleveland asking for details of drever's marital status
46:24the answer was conclusive
46:26drever was a widower
46:27however a couple of years ago he sought police protection from an old rival in love
46:33named jefferson hope
46:34hope was arrested
46:36and drever and stangerson set sail for europe
46:39shortly after his release from jail
46:42hope also thought to pass it for europe
46:44the conclusion was elementary my dear watson
46:47what do you know about elephants watson
