00:00THE END
00:30ORGAN PLAYS
01:00Mrs. Barclay, your tea?
01:16How would you do such a thing?
01:19Your tea, madam?
01:21I hate you, I hate you.
01:22I hate you.
01:23Oh, I'm sorry for you.
01:25David, you betrayed him.
01:27Mrs. Fennig, Mr. Bates.
01:30What's happened?
01:32What is a child?
01:34It's mad at when the colonel, something awful's going on.
01:37I can't open the door.
01:38Here, let me try.
01:41Help!
01:43Stop here.
01:45Both of you.
01:46Mrs. Barclay?
01:47Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
01:49Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:04Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:18The door's locked on the inside as well, and there's no key.
02:22I'm going out for a doctor and the police.
02:24Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:25Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:26Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:27Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:28Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:29Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:30Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:31Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:32Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:33Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:34Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:35Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:36Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:37Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:38Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:39Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:40Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:41Mrs. Barclay, open the door!
02:42You'll be held first class, but some mallons, first class.
03:01Quite a few of them were on the Orontes when I sailed home wounded.
03:05Had a good record out in India.
03:07It wonders during the mutiny.
03:09I'm sure you will regret taking the case.
03:12Up, sentry!
03:27Dr. John Watson, formerly medical officer attached to the Royal Berkshire, now in civilian practice.
03:32Murphy, second in command, temporarily in charge of the Royal Mallows following the tragedy of our colonel's death.
03:38And this will be Mr. Holmes.
03:40Please.
03:47It's good of you to come so swiftly.
03:50Not at all.
03:52I've explained to Holmes how concerned you must be about the possibility of a scandal.
03:58The honour of the regiment is in my care.
04:06And yet, the newspaper's report suggests that a scandal is inevitable.
04:12Surely not.
04:13I've done my utmost to make sure that reporters were kept as far away as possible.
04:17Exactly.
04:18And that is what has made them suspicious.
04:20They sent a mystery.
04:21That much is clear from the little they have been able to say.
04:25Well, surely it would be wrong to repeat...
04:32To draw attention to...
04:34Quite.
04:35You see how much we need your help, Mr. Holmes.
04:44What do you say, Holmes?
04:45What can I say?
04:46Major Murphy, you have told me nothing!
04:47I have come down here after persuasion from my friend, To Aldershot, who has more interest in military matters than I.
05:05Now that I am here, please, tell me the facts!
05:18The commanding officer of this regiment, Colonel James Barkley, was found dead in his villa at about 10 o'clock the night before last.
05:26The body was found by Private Bates, his batman, lying in the morning room.
05:31There was a ragged cut two inches long in the back of his head, which had evidently been caused by a violent blow from a blunt instrument.
05:38And upon the floor, by the body, was a singular hand-carved wooden club.
05:48Also, stretched out on the sofa, lying in a dead faint, was Nancy, Mrs. Barkley.
05:56Please continue, Major Murphy.
06:02The servants had been alerted to the tragedy by the sounds of a quarrel between the Colonel and Mrs. Barkley.
06:08They tried to enter the morning room but found it locked.
06:10Bates had to go round by the garden and get in through the French windows.
06:14And I suspect Mrs. Barkley.
06:17Yes.
06:18But she is quite incapable of such a dreadful act.
06:21I have been the late Colonel's second-in-command for a number of years. I've come to know Nancy Barkley well.
06:32Of course.
06:34Tell me about Colonel Barkley. Was he highly regarded by the men under his command?
06:43Considering his background, remarkably so.
06:47His background? Why? Was he ever disgraced?
06:49No.
06:51But it's not generally known outside that Jim Barkley began his career as a private soldier in the Mallows.
06:59Did he indeed?
07:01From private soldier to commanding officer in the same regiment? That's a rare achievement.
07:05It was his gallantry in the Indian Mutiny that got him his commission.
07:11And then quite rapid promotion over the years.
07:16More rapid than mine, for instance.
07:20Impressive.
07:23And I suppose the unfortunate Mrs. Barkley's in custody?
07:26No.
07:29Not exactly, no.
07:31She's in hospital being looked after.
07:33With a police constable standing by.
07:39Nancy Barkley is a handsome woman now.
07:42But you should have seen her as a young girl in India 30 years ago.
07:51She was a daughter of the regiment.
07:52Her father was the regimental son major, RSM Devoy, and therefore quite a formidable father-in-law for any soldier.
08:03I remember that all the men in my company thought her quite the prettiest girl in the garrison.
08:09As a junior officer, I had little to do with her, but I was aware that she was a most charming, most vivacious and spirited girl.
08:22It was quite understandable that Barkley was not the only man in the regiment who sought her hand.
08:33But in the end, he was the one she chose.
08:36They were married at Bertie, not far from Cornepore, a few months after the besieged garrison there was relieved by General Neal's column in the summer of 1858.
08:53Shortly after the marriage, Sergeant Barkley got his commission as expected.
09:03Must have been difficult for the Barclays at first.
09:06NCO promoted from the ranks, married to a regimental sergeant major's daughter.
09:11Yes. I believe there was some little social friction.
09:18But Nancy carried it off with dignity and charm, and they gained acceptance in no time.
09:26Barkley's career flourished, and the regiment returned from India some five years ago.
09:32Barkley was then appointed commanding officer.
09:35And the marriage continued to be a happy one?
09:42It appeared to be so.
09:45Appeared?
09:47Most people believed the marriage to have been a uniformly happy one.
09:53And what do you believe, Major Murphy?
09:56My position as second in command often took me to the Barclays' house.
10:03I saw a different side to the marriage.
10:07The truth is more important than loyalty to your late commander.
10:15One night I'd been dining at the Barclays.
10:18It wasn't until I reached the end of the drive that I realised I'd left my cigar case in the dining room.
10:23I went back.
10:26The front door was still open.
10:28Jane, the maid, was in the hall.
10:31I'm glad you're still here. I've left my cigar case on the table.
10:35I think the Colonel and Mrs Barkley have gone to bed, sir.
10:38Oh, for goodness sake, James!
10:41Confess that! Who is it? Who?
10:44Let go of me!
10:46You are hurting me!
10:48Tell me you love me, then! Me and nobody else!
10:50Do you hear? Do you hear me?
10:53Oh! Would I have married you if I didn't?
10:56I don't know!
10:58Sometimes I wonder!
11:07And this expression of jealousy occurred within seconds of you, Major Murphy, leaving the Barclays' house.
11:12Tell me about the Colonel.
11:15Was he a violent man in any way?
11:18On occasion.
11:20He could be most vindictive towards young subalterns.
11:25But he'd clawed his way to the top.
11:28You need to be ruthless to do that.
11:31Surely he didn't still feel out of place as an officer?
11:33No, I don't think so.
11:36But he was subject to a peculiar form of depression.
11:42The Queen!
11:44The Queen!
11:45Sometimes, when we were discussing old campaigns,
11:59Crimea, mutiny, Afghan war,
12:03the smile would often be struck from his mouth as if by some invisible hand.
12:10Yes, long service in India can have that effect.
12:23I saw that when I was in the Berkshires.
12:26You mentioned a carved wooden club found by the body.
12:30One of the Colonel's Indian souvenirs.
12:33I believe the servants deny ever having seen this club before.
12:38Certainly I've never seen it on any of my visits.
12:41It was quite long.
12:43And the police, I suppose, have retained it for examination.
12:47Yes. They believe it to be the murder weapon.
12:50Do they indeed?
12:52I think we should begin by visiting the Barclays' house.
12:55Unless, of course, it is possible to interview Mrs. Barclay.
12:59I'm afraid she's still unconscious.
13:01I've thought as much.
13:11David.
13:15David.
13:28What a beautiful morning.
13:29Holmes, suppose Mrs. Barclay had a lover and the Colonel had found out.
13:40Major Murphy seems to have been rather close to her.
13:44You know, mild adultery has always been commonplace among officers and their wives serving in hot climates.
13:51Thank you, Watson, for educating me in military morality.
13:57If there had been anything between Major Murphy and Mrs. Barclay, would you have related the incident of this forgotten cigar case?
14:03Will it be?
14:04No, sir, you know, we must be able to grab them and take them off in a cigar case?
14:05Okay, I'm sure.
14:07How about you, Dr. King?
14:39It was about half past seven, sir, and I was waiting at table.
14:59Once a month, Mrs Barclay spent the evening doing charity work in Aldershot.
15:09It was about half past seven years ago.
15:39Where are you off to, Sir Harry?
15:42Well, the distribution of old clothing starts at eight o'clock.
15:47And I promised Anne Morrison I'd be at the Mission Hall on time.
15:53Well, if you want to catch some filthy disease from a lot of flea-ridden down the night,
15:57I suppose that's your affair.
15:59I believe in putting you back into life as much as one gets out of it.
16:04We've been fortunate with our lot.
16:10Others haven't been so lucky.
16:15Don't be laid back.
16:17Of course not.
16:18Mrs Barclay must have returned about quarter past nine, sir.
16:36I was in the kitchen helping the cook with the dishes.
16:38There was thunder in the distance,
16:42and I was just saying to Mrs Fenning that there was a storm brewing
16:45when the morning room bell rang.
16:47I came up here to find that Mrs Barclay had returned.
16:52She was walking up and down this room, sir.
16:54Very pale.
16:57Upset.
16:57She looked awful, sir.
17:11You rang, madam?
17:14Yes, Jane.
17:16Bring me some tea, will you?
17:19Of course, madam.
17:27Jane, is that you?
17:41Yes, sir?
17:43Did I hear Mrs Barclay come in?
17:47Yes, sir.
17:47She's in the morning room.
17:50The morning room?
17:52Yes, sir.
17:52I'm just about to take a report of tea.
17:55Tea?
17:57What does she want tea for at this hour?
18:17And that presumably was the last time that anyone saw Colonel Barclay alive.
18:22Yes, sir.
18:22Can you think of any reason why your mistress came into this morning room at that time of night
18:33when the fire was unlit?
18:35No, sir.
18:37Did she often make a point of purposely avoiding the Colonel?
18:43Had you ever heard them arguing before?
18:46Not to my knowledge, sir.
18:54When you returned from the kitchen with Mrs Barclay's tea, you found the door locked and you heard voices raised.
19:02Now, what exactly did you hear?
19:05They were arguing, sir.
19:06Mrs Barclay called the Colonel a coward.
19:12She said, you have ruined my life all these years.
19:17Mrs Barclay shouted the name David.
19:20She said it twice.
19:25David?
19:27Could you swear to that?
19:28It was perfectly clear, sir.
19:30But the Colonel's name was James.
19:34Have you ever heard Mrs Barclay refer to anyone called David?
19:38No, sir.
19:39I don't think she or the Colonel knew anyone by the name of David.
19:42And Major Murphy's Christian name is Patrick.
19:47Had they had any visitors recently by the name of David?
19:51I don't think so, sir.
19:55The club that was found by Colonel Barclay's body.
20:00Had you seen it before?
20:02No, sir.
20:03The Colonel had several trophies from India, but nothing like that club.
20:08Are you sure of that, Miss Stewart?
20:11Yes, sir.
20:13I don't know where it came from.
20:20That is all.
20:21No, no, there is just one last thing.
20:27Major Murphy once left his cigar case here.
20:30Did you manage to find it?
20:32Yes, sir.
20:46The Colonel was lying down here, sir.
20:49With his head by the fender?
20:50Yes, sir.
20:53You can see the mark of the blood still.
20:57But the most frightening thing of all, sir, was his face.
21:01His face?
21:02When I rolled him over, I almost fainted away to look upon it.
21:08It was all contorted.
21:10Screwed up with the most horrible look of fear and terror, as if he'd foreseen his own death?
21:22It's quite possible, sir.
21:22It's quite possible, sir.
21:26Thank you, Bates.
21:28It's quite a bit of a mess.
21:29What a petition, what monster was it?
21:30What a petition, what monster was it that could have frightened the Colonel, sir?
21:37Not Nancy Barkley, for sure.
21:39Not Nancy Barkley, for sure.
21:43This door was locked shut, sir.
21:47And what's more, the key was missing.
21:52Missing?
21:53Yes.
21:54In the end, we had to send for a locksmith to open it.
21:58You had made a thorough search for the key.
22:00We searched high and low.
22:01Mrs Barkley hadn't got it, and it wasn't in the Colonel's pocket, sir.
22:05Thank you, Mrs. Femming.
22:13Watson, if the key was not in the door, and neither Mrs Barkley nor the Colonel had it, then?
22:23Then there must have been a third person.
22:29Exactly.
22:30Who either entered or left through those windows.
22:52These are Bates' footprints.
22:55And these are the footprints of someone else.
23:02Someone has recently crossed this lawn.
23:07The marks are just visible.
23:25He entered and left through those windows, Watson.
23:29What on the right set?
23:38Watson.
23:40Look at this.
23:42What is it?
23:43Our intruder had a somewhat unusual companion.
23:46It's a dog, isn't it?
23:47Somebody's dog.
23:49Who ever heard of a dog running up a curtain?
23:52What about a cat, then?
23:53These paw marks are not those of a cat, not of a monkey, not of any creature that we are familiar with.
23:59I would think from hind foot to forefoot, at least 15 inches.
24:08After that, the length of neck and head, you have a creature of no less than two feet.
24:14More if there's a tail.
24:15The length of its stride is odd.
24:17It indicates a creature with a long back and short legs.
24:22Something like a stoat or a weasel?
24:25We also know that it is carnivorous.
24:28How can you tell that?
24:30Well, you see, what made it run up the curtain?
24:35A canary.
24:37Exactly.
24:39Then what was this beast?
24:50No.
24:51I can't.
24:53I cannot betray a friend.
24:55Please don't ask me to.
25:08Miss Morrison.
25:13Miss Morrison.
25:17When Mrs. Barclay left her house to come here two nights ago,
25:21she was happy and contented.
25:27When she returned two hours later, she was a changed woman.
25:29Now the police suspected of murder.
25:35You owe it to your friend to clear her name.
25:39You must tell me what happened last night that so changed her.
25:45Very well.
25:48I shall break my promise of silence if what I can say can really help her.
25:54So there was something.
25:56It was most bizarre.
26:01I should explain that we come across all sorts and conditions of men here.
26:06Yet the other night I saw the most extraordinary creature I have ever seen.
26:14Not only had he a crooked back, but he was lame and walked with his knees bent.
26:22His face was darkly tanned, crinkled and puckered like a withered apple.
26:28I thought to myself that truly there are some of us on this earth
26:32who are burdened with more than their fair share of misfortune.
26:37This vision was made more unusual by the oriental garb the man was wearing.
26:42I pointed this person out to Nancy as someone especially deserving of help.
27:00Nancy had indeed been in good spirits that evening.
27:02And I saw her go towards the man and ask him if he needed assistance.
27:12It was now that a change came over Nancy.
27:15She had begun a conversation with the man when suddenly all the colour drained from her face.
27:20She looked as though she had seen a ghost.
27:25The man too seemed to be strangely affected by the sight of her.
27:29And I saw him gesticulating wildly.
27:32When Nancy and the man went to a quiet corner of the hall
27:37and they talked together for a few moments or so
27:40before I heard an angry shout from the man
27:43and saw him storm out waving his fists in the air.
27:45Nancy, what is it?
28:01Are you all right?
28:04Who was that poor creature?
28:07Well, it's an old acquaintance of mine, fallen on hard times.
28:11Promise me, Anna, you won't say anything about this to anyone.
28:17Promise me?
28:19Of course I promise.
28:21If you so wish.
28:28And the identity of this man?
28:30I thought you might ask me that.
28:33Well, after this terrible happening, Nancy left.
28:37I naturally made a few inquiries among some of the regulars.
28:41Such an unusual looking creature has of course attracted attention.
28:47It appears he is an old soldier recently back from India.
28:51And no one knows anything else about his background
28:54except that he makes a living by entertaining the troops.
28:58Conjuring tricks.
29:00That kind of thing.
29:02And did you tell the police about him?
29:07Of course not!
29:13A promise!
29:15Is a promise?
29:17Yes, of course.
29:19Thank you, Miss Madison.
29:20Wyoming, lava the diamond in Bermond,
29:25burning of basketball forever!
29:28Goodbye, Nova故, небольшor before!
29:29Thank you, Miss Madison.
29:31Can I Kristin Narcolino

29:40всего, could you please see him?
29:41You am strong for forever!
29:43Temple, dark, Clementine!
29:45Yeah!
29:46Oh, yeah, boy, yeah, boy, yeah, boy.
30:46That is our intruder's four-footed companion.
31:00It's among you.
31:02I think we've found our man.
31:16Mr. Henry Wood, I believe, native India. May I have a word?
31:20What about?
31:21The little matter of Colonel James Barclay's death.
31:46She is innocent. You can take my word for it.
32:02Then you are guilty.
32:03No. I am not guilty.
32:07Then who struck the Colonel down?
32:10It was a just providence that killed him. His own guilty conscience.
32:16I think you'd better explain.
32:19My God.
32:21If I had smashed his head in as it was in my heart to do,
32:24he would have got only what he deserved from me.
32:30No.
32:32I never laid a handle on him.
32:35I was spared the trouble.
32:41I'll tell you my story.
32:44There is no cause for me to be ashamed of it.
32:58You see me now with my back like a camel and my ribs all awry.
33:05But there was a time when Corporal Henry Wood was the smartest man in a broil of mallows.
33:15You were in the same regiment as Colonel Barclay?
33:19Oh, yes.
33:20Oh, yes.
33:22But he was Sergeant Jim Barclay then.
33:27We were in the same company.
33:30And we had something else in common.
33:36We were both in love with the same woman, Nancy DeVoy.
33:46He was the daughter of the regimental sergeant, Major.
33:52Yeah.
33:55There were two men who loved her.
34:00But...
34:01Only one whom she loved.
34:07You laugh when you look at this poor thing huddled in front of the fire and hear me say that it was for my good looks.
34:35First Nancy...
34:37...loved...
34:38...me...
34:39I was the one she loved all along.
34:59But although I had her heart, her father didn't approve of me.
35:06I was a harem, scarrem, reckless sort of lad.
35:13But I was always honest and plain-dealing as well.
35:17No.
35:19Nancy's father wanted her to marry Barclay.
35:25He was careful to keep out of trouble.
35:28Always did the right thing.
35:30And not like me, who took Nancy to places her father didn't like.
35:38Besides, Barclay had had an education.
35:43He was already marked for the sword bolts.
35:46RSM DeVoy naturally thought Barclay the better match for his daughter.
35:51But she remained true to me.
35:58And we would have married had it not been for the mutiny.
36:02Why did Nancy Tavoy not marry the man she loved?
36:06It was monsoon time in 1857 when the sepoys rose up against the British.
36:16The regiment was shut up in Bertie.
36:21There were 10,000 rebels round us, pinning us down like terriers round a rat cage.
36:27We don't shut up food and ammunition.
36:30And we had to communicate with General Neil's column that was moving up country.
36:34It was our only chance to get help.
36:43Our company commander had asked for a volunteer.
36:46A fit, strong soldier to slip out of the garrison at dead of night
36:50and make contact with the relief column out on the plane beyond.
36:53Like a fool, I volunteer.
36:57It was a dangerous mission, all right.
36:59There were a thousand lives in peril.
37:02But I was thinking of only one of them.
37:19Nancy DeVoy, the woman I loved
37:23and the finest girl that ever had the breath of life between her lips.
37:28Saying goodbye to her was the hardest thing.
37:37As we exchanged mementos, I little thought that I was saying goodbye to her for 30 years.
37:46It was my rival for Nancy's hand.
37:48It saw me off on my journey through the enemy lines that night.
37:51Sergeant Barclay.
37:53He said he knew the lie of the land round the garrison better than any other.
37:57While I volunteered to make the journey, Jim Barclay volunteered to advise me on the best route to take.
38:04So, just after 10, while my comrades gave me covering fire, I set off.
38:20He said he was the safest way downhill.
38:21His directions were perfect.
38:22And soon I was wading through icy water that only the day before had been snow in the Himalayas.
38:39I could see the lights and fires in the rebels' camp.
38:52But I kept well down, out of sight of their sentry posts.
38:55I came to the gully and thought I was safe.
38:58But then it happened.
39:06I was attacked.
39:08Something hard cracked down on my head.
39:10Then everything spun round.
39:16When I came to, I was trussed up like a chicken and hanging from a tree.
39:22My arms felt as though they were being wrenched out of their sockets.
39:26I didn't mind the pain.
39:29But I was sick at heart for having failed in my mission.
39:33What would be the fate of those I had been trying to save?
39:47But the biggest blow came as I listened to what I could understand of the rebels' talk.
39:53I heard enough to realize that I had been betrayed.
39:58The very man who had shown me the way to take had betrayed me to the enemy.
40:02Barclay had gotten rid of me to make sure he could have my girl.
40:06Now you know what James Barclay was capable of.
40:23Well, it turned out that General Newell's column was already on its way to relieve Bertie.
40:29The rebels retreating.
40:30They dragged me away with them.
40:31I was tortured.
40:32I tried to escape.
40:33I was tortured again.
40:34It was to be many a long year before I saw another white vein.
40:38My captors fled north, further into the hills, and used me as a sort of slave.
40:53I was treated worse than a dog, and they down there broke every bone in my body.
41:08Sometimes I'd wish they'd just killed me.
41:13But my thoughts of hatred and loathing for the man who destroyed my life kept me going.
41:19I dreamed of revenge on Barclay.
41:22Some man, I'd rather have fought.
41:39One day, some Afghan tribesmen murdered the rebels who held me prisoner.
41:43They left me for dead too.
41:45But by a miracle, I still lived.
41:47so I had my revenge on my torturers but Berkeley was beyond my grasp and what of Nancy I had no
42:06means of knowing whether she was alive or dead I wandered back to the Punjab and lived among the
42:16natives picking up a living by the conjuring tricks I'd learned from the street magicians
42:21what use was it for me a wretched cripple to get passage back by ship to England and make myself
42:30known to my comrades in the regiment even the desire to have my revenge on Jim Barclay didn't
42:36make me go I'll tell you straight I preferred my Nancy and my old pals in the Royal Mallows to go
42:48on believing that Harry would died a hero's death with a string back and see him crawling about the
42:57world more like a chimpanzee than a human being but you did return and to all the shot where your old
43:09regiment was stationed why I just wanted to see the old country once more before I died
43:14I saved what I could and eventually I got a show
43:20I didn't know the regiment was stationed here in Aldershot I just wanted to be where there were
43:35soldiers I can own my keep going around the canteens doing my tricks to entertain them
43:41and I no longer wanted to kill Barclay the fires of revenge had burnt low over the years
43:52until
43:57I saw her
44:04I thought I'd better get some English togs and look comical enough without wearing these foreign
44:19clothes the whole time at first I was more interested in finding a thick overcoat than looking at the
44:25charity ladies who were dulling them out then one of them came over
44:33I recognized her at once
44:37she'd hardly changed
44:40still beautiful
44:43what's more amazing is she
44:47she seemed to know me
44:50good evening can I help you have you been able to find anything that
44:56I'm sorry I thought I
45:04Nancy
45:07it is me
45:09don't be afraid
45:13I thought you had been dead these 30 years
45:19I have been
45:21I swore
45:25you had never seen me
45:27like this
45:29we spoke
45:40for a moment or two together
45:42I told her some of my story
45:45I should have spared telling her that her husband was a traitor but it all came
45:52pouring out of me 30 years of hate
45:56she was
46:02so affected by what I said
46:04I couldn't stand it
46:07I went outside
46:10then
46:14I saw her
46:15come out of the mission
46:16and I followed her home
46:18I saw her go into their house
46:21a light came out
46:24I saw her
46:27sitting in a chair
46:31and then
46:35he
46:37came into the room
46:39James I have to talk to you
46:42what are you looking back to you

47:48I read death on his face
47:51as plain as anything
47:53the bare sight of me
47:56was like a bullet
47:57through his guilty heart
47:58Mrs. Barkley
48:04Mrs. Barkley
48:06open the door
48:07he smashed onto the fender
48:09but he was dead
48:11before he fell
48:12Mrs. Barkley
48:31Mrs. Barkley
48:33open the door
48:34I took the key of the door
48:47from Lance's hand
48:48intended to open it
48:50and get help
48:50and I thought it better
48:52to get away
48:53for things might look black
48:54against me
48:54in my haste
48:55I thrust the key
48:56into my pocket
48:57whilst I was chasing
48:58Teddy who'd escaped
48:59from his box
49:00and run up a curtain
49:01Teddy
49:01so the colonel died
49:11before he struck
49:12his head on the fender
49:12an apoplectic fit
49:14brought on by shock
49:16Mr. Wood
49:18provided the coroner
49:20reaches the same conclusion
49:22Mrs. Barkley
49:23Nancy
49:24will be free
49:29I trust you would have
49:33no objection
49:33to repeating your story
49:34to the police
49:35should the need arise
49:36Mr. Holmes

50:21Oh, Annie, how lovely to see you.
50:26You better. Yes, I'm much better.
50:33Holmes, there's just one thing I don't understand.
50:37If the Colonel's name was James,
50:40and Wood was called either Henry or Harry,
50:43then who the deuce was David?
50:46Oh, my dear, wasn't that named David?
50:48You should have told me the whole story.
50:50Had I been the ideal reasono which you are so fond of depicting,
50:53but, alas, my path of deduction failed me.
50:56You see, David, in this case,
50:59was evidently used as a term of reproach.
51:03Reproach?
51:06Don't you remember how King David sent Uriah the Hittite
51:10into the forefront of the battle to die
51:12so that he might steal his woman Bathsheba?
51:15I think you'll find the story in the first or second book of Samuel.
51:21My Old Testament is a little rusty.
51:34You're quite right, Holmes.
51:36Second book of Samuel.
51:38Chapter 11, verses 14 to 17.
51:42You appear to have looked it up yourself.
51:46Since we return home from Aldershot.
51:52How did you know?
51:56You used this bill for our meal at Waterloo as a bookmarker, did you not?
52:00Excellent, Watson.
52:02Elementary, my dear Holmes.
52:13Good night, old fellow.
52:32Thanks, everyone.
52:45Here's how long you mange with me,
52:48Over the bottom of the Award at Waterloo.
52:51Okay, I know it's a beautiful short book
52:53from the Longshore Family and the Oscar.
52:54Here's how long you looked at me.
52:56I've touched on everything Gatorade.
