00:00The End
00:30THE END
01:00Come here, lad
01:14What are you doing on my property?
01:30I've come to claim back what's rightfully mine, sir.
01:33That thieving young rascal made off with some horseshoes and a bag of nails from my smithy.
01:38Where is your proof?
01:49The proof is I'll find them there.
01:52Now, I don't want to be forced to call the police.
01:55These people are guests of mine, but you are trespassing, Mr. Thorne.
02:06I'm not frightened of you, Doctor.
02:09Get off my land!
02:11Yeah!
02:14Yeah!
02:15Yeah!
02:15Please come back soon.
02:43My dear, there is nothing whatever to worry about.
02:47We should be married in a few weeks.
02:51I'm just on my way back to London.
02:55Goodbye, sir.
02:58And thank you for a most pleasant weekend.
03:01I mean to improve my game of chess before my next visit.
03:05Ah, yes, I see.
03:08You weren't an unworthy opponent.
03:10Thank you, sir.
03:13I'm just seeing Percy down to the gates, father.
03:17Here.
03:30Drive on and wait for me by the gate, would you?
03:33Walk on.
03:39Thanks.
03:41The fellow is trespassing.
03:45He had a duck in.
03:47And that is all.
03:49Father, I cannot believe that Thorne would deliver...
03:53But damn it!
03:55Are you part of the conspiracy against me, too?
03:57No, father.
03:58I live here.
03:59But not for much longer, eh?
04:03Once you marry that fellow army teacher.
04:07You know.
04:08Are you?
04:09Are you part of the conspiracy against me, too?
04:10Are you part of the conspiracy against me, too?
04:15No, father.
04:16I live here.
04:17I live here.
04:24But not for much longer, eh?
04:28Once you marry that fellow army teacher.
04:30You know.
04:31Do you, dear?
04:32I'll take the army to, dear.
04:33I'll take the army to, dear.
04:35Yes, what is it?
05:05Father, what has happened to my room?
05:12The builders found a fault in the structure.
05:14Better sleep in your sister's room till they've finished working on it.
05:19Julia's room.
05:22I can't sleep in there.
05:25Why not pray?
05:27I can't.
05:30What is the matter?
05:31It's a perfectly good room.
05:32I've instructed the housekeeper to prepare it for you.
05:34Now run along your bag, Adrian.
05:36Good night.
06:04I'll see you soon.
06:10I'll be right back.

06:49Well then, young beauty, goodnight.
06:55Goodnight, baby.
07:19I don't know.
07:21I don't know.
07:23I don't know.
07:25I don't know.
07:27I don't know.
07:31You're a man.
07:33You're a man.
07:35It's okay.
07:37I can't believe it.
07:39You're a man.
07:41You're a man.
07:43I'm very sorry Watson but it seems to be the common lot this morning what mrs. Hudson
08:08has been roused she retorted on me and I knew but it's only a quarter past seven
08:15what is it a fire a client take a moment to draw but only a moment mrs. Hudson is
08:29a mistress of the art of firelighting ah this is my intimate friend associate
08:35dr. Watson before whom you may speak as freely as before myself how do you do
08:41mrs. Hudson do you think you could bring this young lady a hot cup of coffee for
08:46I observe you are shivering it is not cold which makes me shiver
08:53what then
08:56it is fear mr. Holmes it is terror no you must not fear we shall set matters right have no doubt
09:06you have come by train I see this morning you know me then no but I observe the
09:17second half of a return ticket in the palm of your left glove you started early but
09:22you had a drive in a dog cart along heavy roads before you reached the station but
09:29there's no mystery my dear lady the left arm of your jacket is spattered with mud in
09:33no less than seven places the marks are fresh there is no vehicle save the dog card which
09:40throws up mud in that particular way and then only when you sit on the left hand side of the driver
09:46you are perfectly correct sir I can stand the strain no longer I shall go mad if it continues
09:54I have heard of you from mrs. Farrentosh whom you helped in the hour of her sore need
10:01it is difficult for me to advise you since you present so few facts but I know you to be a sensible
10:20girl not prone to hysterics as one of your poor dear mother's oldest friends I can only suggest that
10:27if your fears persist you should contact mr. Sherlock Holmes at 221 B Baker Street
10:38Farrentosh oh yes I do remember the case it concerned an opal tiara I think it was before
10:45your time Watson thank you mrs. Hudson sir do you not think you could help me too at present it is out of
10:54my power to reward you but in a few weeks I shall be married with control of my own income
10:59I shall be happy to devote the same care to your case as to that of your friend
11:03as for reward my profession is its own reward
11:07but you are at liberty to defray whatever expenses I may be put to at the time which suits you best
11:14and now I beg you
11:15lay everything before us which may help us form an opinion upon this matter
11:20my name is Helen Stoner I live with my stepfather Dr. Grimmersby Roylott who was the last survivor of one of the oldest
11:31Saxon families in England
11:32the Roylott of Stoke Moran the name is familiar to me
11:36he is a doctor by profession
11:38a skilled one
11:40for some years he had a large and flourishing practice in India
11:44in Calcutta
11:45ah
11:45Dr. Watson has also practiced medicine in India
11:51yes attached to the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers
11:55and pray continue miss Stoner
11:57in Calcutta he married my mother
12:01she was the young widow of Major General Stoner of the Bengal artillery
12:05I was only two at the time of mother's remarriage
12:10my sister Julia was five years older
12:13our mother had a considerable sum of money
12:17not less than a thousand a year
12:19and this she bequeathed to Dr. Roylott entirely while we resided with him
12:23forgive me your mother has passed on
12:25shortly after our return to England she was killed
12:30in a railway accident near Crewe
12:33my stepfather then abandoned his attempts to establish himself in practice in London
12:40and took us to live in his ancestral home at Stoke Moran
12:43but the money your mother left you was enough for all your wants
12:46so that was no obstacle to your happiness
12:48a terrible change came over my stepfather
12:52instead of making friends and exchanging visits with our neighbours
12:57who at first were overjoyed to see a Roylott back in the family seat
13:00he shut himself up in the house and indulged in ferocious quarrels
13:04at times it was and still is hard to keep him out of the police courts
13:08he's become the terror of the village
13:11does he permit any visitors?
13:13none
13:13save my fiancé
13:15and some wandering gypsies
13:18gypsies?
13:20vagabonds
13:20whom he has given leave to encamp on his land
13:23sometimes he goes away with them for days at a time
13:27you can imagine from what I'm saying
13:31that my poor sister Julia and I had no great pleasure in our lives
13:36no servant would stay long
13:39so we did all the work of the house
13:41she was but 30 when I lost her
13:46but already her hair had begun to whiten even as mine has
13:51your sister's dead?
13:55just two years ago
13:56it is of that I wish to talk to you
13:59oh yes

14:49no
14:50every event of that night is seared into my memory
14:53it was late about 11
14:58julia had come into my room
15:01smoking those awful cigars again
15:12perhaps you should have this room until the wedding
15:17oh Helen
15:26oh I feel so happy
15:30and yet wretched that I'm leaving you here alone
15:37my turn will come
15:39I shall miss you
15:41you won't
15:42you won't
15:44I'll come and stay
15:45besides
15:47your major has promised to find me a brother officer of equal rank
15:52and infinitely better looking
15:54my darling what is the matter
16:02Helen
16:06have you ever heard anyone whistle in the dead of night
16:10I suppose you couldn't possibly whistle yourself in your sleep
16:16certainly not why
16:19the last few nights
16:24always about three in the morning
16:27I've been woken by a low clear whistle
16:30I can't tell where it's coming from
16:32I thought you might have heard it
16:33I sleep more heavily than you
16:36it was probably those wretched gypsies
16:41well
16:47never mind
16:49never mind
16:49never mind
16:59was it your custom always to lock yourself in at night
17:11always
17:12my stepfather has a passion for Indian animals
17:17a leopard and boom wander freely over the grounds
17:21Julia and I had no feelings of security unless our doors and windows were locked
17:27I couldn't sleep
17:33I had a vague feeling of misfortune
17:39I had no feelings of
18:01Please help me!
18:13Oh, God.
18:16Shh.
18:18It was the talent.
18:23It was the talent.
18:31Speckled.
18:33Band.
18:35Shh.
18:36Forget Father.
18:38No!
18:39No!
18:40Leave me alone.
18:41Leave me alone.
18:43Go into your room, child.
18:45How do you listen?
18:53I am sorry, gentlemen.
19:10My sister and I were very close.
19:13Yes, indeed.
19:17What an awful experience.
19:23And you've no idea what might have caused...
19:28This whistle and a metallic sound.
19:32You can swear to it?
19:34It was my strong impression.
19:37I may possibly have been deceived.
19:40Was your sister dressed?
19:42No, she was in her nightdress.
19:44On the floor there was a candle and the charred stump of a match.
19:49Which means something must have woken her up and she struck a light to see what the matter was.
19:57What conclusions did the coroner come to?
19:59He investigated the case with great care but he was unable to find any satisfactory cause of death.
20:05And your evidence would have shown that the door was fastened on the inner side.
20:09The windows blocked by shutters, secured every night.
20:12It is certain therefore that your sister was alone when she met her end.
20:20Yes.
20:21Besides there were no marks of violence upon her.
20:27What about poison?
20:29The doctors examined her for it without success.
20:38What do you think this unfortunate lady died of then?
20:45It's my belief that she died of pure fear and nervous shock.
20:51Although what it was which frightened her I cannot imagine.
20:54What do you gather from the illusion to a band, a speckled band?
20:59Delirium.
21:02Or...
21:04...some band of people.
21:07The gypsies at the plantation, the...
21:11...spotted handkerchiefs they wear around their necks.
21:18These are very deep waters.
21:21What happened after your sister's death?
21:26My life was lonelier than ever.
21:29Until a month ago...
21:31...when a dear friend of mine whom I've known for many years...
21:34...did me the honour to ask for my hand in marriage.
21:37His name is Mr. Percy Armitage.
21:39And you are to be married within a few weeks.
21:42So what prompted you to come here when your life seems set so fair?
21:47Yesterday...
21:49...some repairs were started and my bedroom wall was pierced.
21:53So that last night I was forced to move into the chamber in which Julia died.
21:57To sleep in the very bed in which she slept.
22:00Imagine my terror when I was awoken by the same low whistle which had been the herald of her own death.
22:04You lit a lamp.
22:08Yes but nothing was to be seen.
22:10I was too shaken to sleep.
22:12I dressed and slipped out of the house.
22:14I got a dog cart at the Crown Inn and came to London with the one object of asking your advice.
22:21You did wisely.
22:22But have you told me all?
22:29Yes.
22:31You have not Miss Stoner.
22:36You are shielding your stepfather.
22:41He is a hard man.
22:43But he's still the only father I have known.
22:48I'd say it was time for some breakfast.
22:50There are a thousand details I desire to know before I decide on a course of action.
22:55If we were to come to Stoke Moran today,
22:58could we see over these rooms without the knowledge of your stepfather?
23:02As it happens, he spoke of coming to town today on some business.
23:06And the workman?
23:07I have seen none.
23:09We have a woman who comes to clean from the village but only in the morning.
23:11There should be nothing to disturb you.
23:13Excellent, Watson. You're not averse to this trip.
23:15By no means.
23:17Then we will be with you in the early afternoon.
23:20I shall be there for your arrival.
23:24You'll stay for some breakfast, surely.
23:27Thank you, no.
23:28Thank you, no.
23:34My heart is lightened already.
23:35Ah, Mrs. Hudson. Thank you.
23:36But, when you combine the ideas of whistles at night,
23:42the presence of a band of gypsies on intimate terms with the doctor,
23:46the dying allusion to a speckled band,
23:50well, there's good ground to believe that the mystery may be cleared along those lines.
23:54Which one of you is Holmes?
23:55My name, sir.
23:56My name, sir.
23:57But, you have the advantage,
23:58you have the advantage,
23:59you have the advantage,
24:00you have the advantage,
24:01you have the advantage of whistles at night,
24:02the presence of a band of gypsies on intimate terms with the doctor,
24:05the dying allusion to a speckled band.
24:07Well, there's good ground to believe that the mystery may be cleared along those lines.
24:11Which one of you is Holmes?
24:22My name, sir.
24:24But, you have the advantage of me.
24:27I am Dr. Grimmersby Roylott of Stoke Moran.
24:36Indeed, doctor.
24:38Please, take a seat.
24:39But, I shall do nothing of the kind.
24:42I know that my stepdaughter has been here this morning.
24:45What has she been saying to you?
24:48It is a little cold for the time of year.
24:52What has she been saying to you?
24:54But, I have heard that the crops promise well.
24:57Ah, you put me off, do you?
25:01You scoundrel, sir.
25:04I've heard of you before.
25:05Your home's the meddler.
25:08Home's the busybody.
25:09Home's the Scotland Yard Jack in office.
25:12Ha!
25:14Your conversation really is most entertaining.
25:16If you would close the door.
25:19On your way out.
25:20As there is a decided draft.
25:22I will go when I've had my say.
25:26And don't you dare to interfere in my affairs.
25:29I know that Miss Stoner has been here.
25:32I am a dangerous man to fall foul of.
25:50Thank you, Mrs Hudson. Just another client.
26:07What a very amiable person.
26:09I may not be quite so bulky, but...
26:19Fancy he's having the insolence to confound me with the official detective force.
26:24Ah, this incident gives zest to our investigation.
26:28I only hope our friend won't suffer from her imprudence in allowing that brute to trace her here.
26:34One thought keeps nagging at me, Watson.
26:37Roiland's professional life in India.
26:39If it was so successful, why would he exchange it for a life of aristocratic penury?
26:45My friend Coombs would know.
26:47Coombs was in Calcutta around that time.
26:50Find your friend Coombs and see what you can get from him.
26:53I shall walk down to Doctor's Commons where I hope to get some data which may help us in this matter.
27:01Let us meet again at one under the clock at Waterloo Station.
27:07That is, if you've finished your breakfast by then.
27:10Oh, and your revolver.
27:13I would be obliged if you would slip it into your pocket.
27:16Neely number two is an excellent argument against gentlemen who can twist steel pokers into knots.
27:20That and your toothbrush are, I think, all we need.
27:27I've seen the will of the deceased wife.
27:30Our annual income at the time of her death was a little short of £1,100.
27:35But due to the fall in agricultural prices, it is now no more than £750.
27:40Each girl in case of marriage could claim £250.
27:43So if both girls had married, our beauty, Brimmersby Roylott, would have had a mere pittance.
27:50And even one marriage would ruin him.
27:54They had the strongest possible motive.
28:00Oh, did you manage to find Coombs?
28:02Yes, I did.
28:03He proved rather hard to locate, but I finally managed to get him through Swanson at bars.
28:09He did know Roylott in Calcutta, confirmed what the girl had said, and added one intriguing fact.
28:17Now, it seems that a series of robberies had been perpetrated in his house, and suspicion fell on his native butler.
28:25Roylott promptly seized the man, and in a fit of anger beat the poor fellow to death.
28:31Narrowly escaped a capital sentence, but suffered a long term of imprisonment, and returned to this country a morose and disappointed man.
28:46Ah, Watson.
28:48It's a wicked world.
28:51And when a clever man turns his brain to crime, it's the worst of all.
29:01Oh, no holiday, are you gentlemen?
29:20No architects.
29:22Taking a look at some of the local houses.
29:24Ah, that's why you wanted Stoke Moran.
29:27I didn't think it was for social reasons.
29:30You'll be doing business with Dr. Roylott, then?
29:34Yes, I believe that was the name.
29:37If you don't mind a word of warning, you want to take care with him, sir.
29:41There are some round these parts that say he's not white in the head.
29:45Really?
29:46Only yesterday, Mr. Thorne, the blacksmith, had a most nasty experience with the doctor, because of those thieving gypsies who were camped in the grounds.
29:57Oh, yes, we've heard about the gypsies, and the leopard.
30:01The story goes, the doctor threw Mr. Thorne in the stream, in a fit of uncontrollable temper.
30:08And, oh, Thorne, he's not a small man.
30:11Good Lord.
30:13Is he bringing a charge of assault?
30:14He was going to.
30:15But Miss Stoner, the doctor's young stepdaughter, paid him some of her own money to it, to keep it quiet.
30:23Oh, that's what I heard.
30:25Well, I never.
30:27Do you hear that, Holmes?
30:29The more I see and hear of that young lady, the more my admiration increases.
30:34Young woman of commendable spirit.
30:37You can pull up here, driver.
30:40Who do you mean, dear fellow?
30:42Well, Miss Stoner, of course.
30:45Most admirable.
30:47Ah, Miss Stoner.
30:58All has turned out splendidly. Dr. Roilett has gone to London, and he won't get back before the evening.
31:17But we have already had the pleasure of Dr. Roilett's acquaintance.
31:21Good heavens, he followed me.
31:22Yes.
31:23He turned up just after you left, but Holmes sent him off with a flea in his ear.
31:28Oh, he's so cunning. I never know when I'm safe from him.
31:31Well, then he must guard himself.
31:33Or he may find someone more cunning than himself upon his track. Shall we?
31:38Holmes.
31:40Don't you think we ought to get Miss Stoner away from here tonight?
31:43What an aroused suspicion.
31:44But if he's violent...
31:45We shall be here.
31:58We shall be here.
31:59We shall be here.
32:00We shall be here.
32:01We shall be here.
32:03We shall be here.
32:04We shall be here.
32:05So this is Dr. Roilett's room.
32:08This formerly your sisters.
32:10And this your room?
32:11Yes.
32:12But I'm now sleeping in this one.
32:13Ah, pending the alterations.
32:16Miss Stoner, may I ask something?
32:20That's unusual, isn't it?
32:21Bedrooms on the ground floor.
32:23Bedrooms were moved downstairs when so much of the house fell into decay.
32:27Oh yes, of course.
32:28How sad.
32:34There seems little need for repairs to this end of the house.
32:38There are none.
32:39I believe it was an excuse to move me from my room.
32:43Ah.
32:44That is suggestive.
32:46Now, Miss Stoner, would you be so kind as to go into the room in which you are now sleeping,
32:53and bolt the shutters?
33:08What are you doing, Watson?
33:09Well, I'm using your methods, Holmes,
33:15seeing whether the ground has been distoned.
33:19Well, what have you come up with?
33:22Your footprints, I believe.
33:25And mine and Miss Stoner's.
33:28And this.
33:39No one could pass these if they were bolted.
34:04Well, let's see if the inside throws any light on the matter.
34:09And this is perfect.
34:10I think they are brought to a place.
34:11She keeps bringing in all the tables.
34:12It's very simple to be clear.
34:13I'm so rich.
34:14I play a piano with hands.
34:15She keeps bringing in those materials.
34:16And she's having ideas on the floor.
34:17Just getting in the floor.
34:18I should have had to reach the water.
34:20itate him on the floor.
34:21And I need to relax for the height of the window.
34:22And she needs to be a place.
34:24The floor is ready for the floor.
34:29I'm going to get up with the floor.
34:30Apropos of the floor.
34:31The floor is in the floor.
34:33It's got a seat here.
34:34And she needs to be a seat in the floor.
34:35But she doesn't have to be a seat.
34:36where does that bell communicate with? it goes to the housekeeper's room. it looks
34:56newer than the other things. yes it was only put there a couple of years ago.
35:00your sister asked for it. I never heard of her using it. we used to get what we
35:04wanted for ourselves. indeed. you will excuse me while I satisfy myself as to
35:10this floor.
35:13it doesn't ring. it's very strange.
35:43a ventilator into another room.
35:53you mean when it might have communicated with the outside air?
36:02that is also quite modern. indeed. miss doner with your permission we will now
36:11carry our research to dr. roiler's chamber.
36:32what's in here? my stepfather's business papers. are you seeing inside it then?
36:41only once. some years ago. I remember it was full of papers. is there a cat in there?
36:49no. what a strange idea.
36:53well look at this.
36:57no we don't keep a cat.
37:00ah well a leopard is a large cat after all.
37:05yes but a saucer of milk wouldn't go far in satisfying a leopard.
37:09leopard is kept on a leash is it?
37:16this sort of leash Watson?
37:21what do you make of it?
37:23well it's a common enough dog leash but I don't know why it should be tied.
37:29we have no dog.
37:31thank you miss stoner. I have seen enough.
37:38I was going to ask if you'd like some tea.
38:02miss stoner.
38:06it is very essential that you absolutely follow my advice in every respect.
38:12your life may depend on it.
38:14I assure you that I'm in your hands.
38:16in the first place.
38:18on the way here we passed a small cottage.
38:20the shell house.
38:22would the windows of your sister's room be visible from there?
38:26yes.
38:27you are sure?
38:28yes.
38:29then we shall make it our base.
38:32it's some refreshment.
38:34oh we shall have dined, shan't we Holmes?
38:39is there a village inn?
38:41the crown.
38:42oh good.
38:43thank you all the same.
38:47now.
38:48miss stoner.
38:49when your stepfather returns.
38:51you must confine yourself in your room.
38:54on pretence of a headache.
38:56then when you hear your stepfather retire for the night.
38:58you must go to the windows.
39:00undo the hasp.
39:01open the shutters.
39:03and leave your lamp on the windowsill as a signal to us.
39:07then withdraw with anything you may want for the night to your old room.
39:11i've no doubt that in spite of the repairs you could manage there for one night.
39:15yes of course.
39:17and now we must leave.
39:20if dr roilett should return
39:23and find us here
39:24our journey would be in vain.
39:27i believe mr. Holmes that you've already made up your mind.
39:33pity's sake tell me the cause of my sister's death.
39:37be brave.
39:38if you do as i have told you.
39:40rest assured we shall soon drive away the dangers that threaten you.
39:43yes it is a clear view.
40:04it is a clear view.
40:05you're expecting this to take all night, Holmes?
40:26it's possible.
40:27anything is possible.
40:33when a doctor goes wrong
40:41he's the first of criminals.
40:43he has nerve.
40:45he has knowledge.
40:47palmad and pritchard but among the heads of their profession.
40:53this man strikes even deeper.
40:59i really have some scruples taking you tonight.
41:04there's a distinct element of danger.
41:07if i can be of assistance.
41:12it's very kind of you.
41:17you evidently saw more in those rooms than was visible to me, Holmes.
41:29no.
41:33but i probably deduced a little more.
41:38do you remember miss stoner say that her sister could smell dr roilett's cigar?
41:43well?
41:47the ventilator.
41:49a ventilator made.
41:50a cord hung.
41:52and a woman who lies in the bed.
41:54dies.
41:56i can't see any connection.
41:58did you notice anything peculiar about the bed?
42:06it was clamped to the floor.
42:09could not be moved.
42:11had to remain in the same relative position to the ventilator.
42:17and the rope.
42:19for so we may call it.
42:21since it was clearly never made for a bell pull.
42:30i begin to see dimly what you're driving at.
42:32we're only just in time to prevent some.
42:39subtle.
42:43and horrible crime.
42:45uh, boy there, boy, boy there, boy there.
42:59yeah.

45:36I don't know, I don't know.
46:03The signal.

46:10Nobody wants to buy my belongs.

46:17Um, I'm drinking tea, how much you eat, and I'm drinking tea.

49:03do not fall asleep
49:33do you see it Watson do you see it
49:43what can it mean
49:56it means that it's over
50:00and perhaps for the best
50:03Cobb Watson bring your pistol
50:08it's the band the speckled band
50:28it is a swamp adder the deadliest snake in India
50:35he has died within seconds of being bitten
50:38so
51:47Which couldn't possibly be discovered by any chemical test.
51:51It might or might not bite the occupant of the bed.
51:55She might escape every night for a week.
51:57But sooner or later, she must fall a victim.
52:02Oh, my poor Julia.
52:34Dr. Grimmersby-Roylet.
52:38So you, Holmes, were indirectly responsible for his death.
52:43I cannot say that it is likely to weigh very heavily on my conscience.
52:50I cannot say that it is likely to weigh very heavily on my conscience.
52:57I cannot say that it is likely to weigh very heavily on my conscience.
53:01I cannot say that it is likely to weigh very heavily on my conscience.
53:05I cannot say that it is likely to have any sanctions on my conscience.
53:09I cannot say that it is likely to weigh very heavily on my conscience.
