02:12You promised.
02:14I promised you nothing.
02:16Jamme.
02:17Never.
02:18I'm leaving for Rome.
02:21Please.
02:22Please come with me.
02:23I've given and have no more to give.
02:28Why?
02:30Why do you treat me like this?
02:33No!
02:35Go!
02:37Go, go, go!
02:46Heartless speed!
02:50Heartless speed!
02:54Heartless speed!
03:05Heartless speed!
03:07It was at that moment that love died and hate was born.
03:53Violet!
04:26Oh, Watson!
04:28Well-timed!
04:29Shake hands with Steve Dixie, the pugilist, who might have a future in this profession if he didn't mix with
04:36bad company.
04:37What on earth's happening here?
04:39Him.
04:39Meddling in affairs, what don't concern him.
04:42Now, I warned him.
04:43And he got caught me.
04:46Now, keep talking!
04:47Keep talking!
04:48It's fine.
04:50It's fine, is it?
04:52Well, it won't be so damn fine if I have to thump you around a bit.
04:59Stop it, Watson!
05:00Stop it!
05:01It is here who has sent him on this belligerent errand.
05:05Sit down, Dixie.
05:08Talk to me.
05:12Ah, thank you.
05:13Now, tell me what this is all about.
05:16I ain't telling you nothing, Mr. Ims.
05:20Except you keep away from Arrow.
05:22I 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 of Perkins outside the Holborn 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!
05:53Look, no hard feelings, eh, Mr. Ims?
05:56Mrs. Hudson, there's been a slight disturbance.
06:00Oh, yeah.
06:02I've just done what I was told.
06:04My regards to Barney Stockdale.
06:06Are you responsible for this mess?
06:09Oh, I'm down the stairs with you.
06:13Oh, he's a harmless enough fellow.
06:15Yeah, come back in.
06:16And easily 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?
06:27And who's Barney Stockdale?
06:30His immediate principal.
06:34Who's paying Barney Stockdale, I wonder?
06:40Oh, God.
06:44The Three Gables, Harrow Wheel.
06:48He's broken our window.
06:51Dear Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
06:53I have had a succession of strange incidents occur to me
06:56in 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
07:24convinces me there must be something in it.
07:28Let us wire her and go at that at once.
07:42I knew your husband well, madam, but it was some years ago.
07:47Some years since he's been with us, the dear man.
07:50Will you try some of this?
07:52I baked it myself.
07:55That'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.
08:06I'm his grandmother.
08:08Oh.
08:09I was his grandmother.
08:13He died a month ago.
08:17He died.
08:18You hadn't heard.
08:20No.
08:22It was a sad ending.
08:25I'm so sorry.
08:27He seemed so full of life and energy.
08:29It's hard to connect.
08:31He lived too intensely.
08:35It was the ruin of him.
08:37Was it an accident?
08:38I mean, the last I heard, he'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.
09:03Well, I've been in this house for over a year now.
09:06Leading a retired life.
09:09Three 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.
09:21My client's heart is set on this one.
09:26Will you name your price?
09:28I suggested 500 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.
09:40But some of it's very good.
09:43Just take your price, Mrs. Mavely.
09:46So I did.
09:47A good round sum and he agreed at once.
09:51You see, I've always wanted to travel around the world if I could.
09:55It's a legacy left to me by my dear Mortimer.
09:58Though, alas, we never really achieved it.
10:01The man returned the next day with everything drawn up?
10:05Yesterday.
10:06Luckily, I showed it to Mr. Sutro, my lawyer.
10:10This is very strange.
10:13Are you aware that you cannot take anything out of the house?
10:17Not even your own personal possessions?
10:20Not my clothes.
10:22My jewelry.
10:24Anything.
10:25When the man returned to the house, you pointed this out?
10:28Yes.
10:29He said I might take some personal effects,
10:33but that nothing should go out of this house unchecked.
10:37My client is very liberal.
10:40But has fads, madam.
10:44And a way of doing things.
10:46I'm afraid it must be everything.
10:49Or nothing for my client.
10:52Then it must be nothing.
10:57Here it is.
11:01Haynes 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.
11:24Just a little wheezy for eavesdropping.
11:27Ah?
11:29I...
11:30I just came in to find out if the visitors were staying for lunch, madam.
11:36Don't force me to use this.
11:38Mrs. Maybelley.
11:40Did you mention to anyone that you were going to consult me?
11:43I did not, Mr. Holmes.
11:46Who posted the letter?
11:48Susan did.
11:49Susan? Ah.
11:50To whom did you send your message?
11:52I sent no message.
11:54Tell me.
11:56Susan, I remember now.
11:58I saw you speaking to someone over the hedge.
12:01That was my own business, madam.
12:04Barney Stockdale.
12:06Fine chance that'd be.
12:08I 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.
12:23You smiled.
12:24A rich woman.
12:29Tell me the name and earn the money.
12:32I'll see you in hell first.
12:36I'll send for my box tomorrow, madam.
12:44This gag means business.
12:47What can I possibly want?
12:50Mrs. Maybelley, 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.
13:14This Susan, how long has she been with you?
13:18Almost three weeks.
13:20Since your grandson's death?
13:22A week after.
13:27She 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.
13:54You didn't see the morose and brooding creature he became.
13:59His heart was broken.
14:02In a single month, I watched him turn into a worn-out, cynical man.
14:11A woman.
14:14He wouldn't speak of it.
14:18He was afraid of upsetting his grandmama.
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.
14:49Oh, no. I really couldn't ask such a thing.
14:52No, no, no, no. Willingly.
14:56Thank you, Mrs. Mainleby.
14:58I shall be back before dark.
15:00Don't concern yourself.
15:16It might be useful to find this, um, what she called Violet.
15:20He may have confided something to her
15:23that he didn't tell his grandmother in his last hours.
15:29I'm sorry.
15:31I'm sorry.
15:41Good afternoon, Mr. Dixie.
15:44The old lady and the house are both under my protection.
15:50And don't you forget it.
15:58Make sure they're gone.
16:00Bring your revolver tonight.
16:20Make sure they're gone.
16:34D. Douglas Maberly.
16:38Splendid, don't air, tomorose, cynical.
16:42Strong words.
16:45Oh, no.
16:47No.
16:50Who is this lady with no eyes?
16:58Our course lies there.
17:01It must be something she doesn't know she has.
17:05And probably wouldn't tell us even if she did know.
17:10This is a case for Langdale Pike.
17:12That reptile.
17:14Nonsense. Don't talk rubbish.
17:16He's a gossip.
17:18It might identify this rich woman.
17:21Sad, he was brilliant at university.
17:24And yet I've always felt that under that veneer
17:28that he was totally isolated.
17:31Like me.
17:32You see that?
17:34That young girl there, under the tree,
17:37with the occasional hat.
17:39What do you make of her?
17:42She's looking for a dog.
17:44What?
17:47No, no, surely.
17:50Mr. Lukey.
17:52With a turquoise collar, perhaps.
17:55She's a stranger in the park.
17:58So is the dog.
18:01There it is now.
18:06How did you know that?
18:08Her boots are country boots,
18:12but not so robust as to suggest a rough terrain.
18:16Wiltshire.
18:18Gloucestershire, perhaps.
18:19Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, but don't you find her attractive?
18:28All right.
18:30Why a saluki?
18:32Only some end to look like their dogs, they say.
18:35Hmm.
18:35Wouldn't you say saluki?
18:38Remarkable.
18:40She is, in point of fact, Lady Geraldine Windridge,
18:44the close Marlborough Wiltshire.
18:51And now, my dear Holmes, what is it you really want from me?
18:55The late Douglas Mabirdy.
18:59Poor boy.
19:02And what a waste.
19:06He was involved with a lady,
19:09a well-placed, rich lady.
19:12Known to you?
19:31Have you something to trade?
19:35Tittle for tattle?
19:39Blind and I don't know.
19:50Hello, Mrs. Adola Klein.
19:53Ah, yes.
19:54Widow of the German sugar king.
19:57Quite a celebrated beauty.
19:58The celebrated beauty.
20:01Ah.
20:02Ah.
20:03She's engaged
20:05to be married
20:07to the youthful Duke of Lownd.
20:12What else did Pike tell you?
20:13Anything about her and Mabel Lee?
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?
20:27No, no, no.
20:28It's deeper than that.
20:31Listen, I demand
20:32that you spend a sleepless night
20:36at the Three Gables
20:37with that revolver at hand.
20:41How will you be spending the evening?
20:44Pursuing the matter from another angle.
20:47Examining the principle.
20:54So, what is it you have to tell me, Miguel?
20:59That stupid woman Susan has left the Mabel Lee house.
21:02Left?
21:03Was forced to leave, she claims, by Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
21:06He's refused our request to avoid, Harrow.
21:09Sherlock Holmes.
21:12Then you did not request him hard enough.
21:17Well, so, Mr. Sherlock Holmes is on the case.
21:24He paid a visit to the old lady,
21:26but left empty-handed.
21:28Have no fear.
21:29We're losing time, Miguel.
21:31We must act tonight.
21:32Arrange it.
21:35This Mr. Sherlock Holmes intrigues me.
21:43He's a clever.
21:44He has a reputation.
21:47For solving crimes, yes.
21:53But for women...
22:36You still owe me a favour, dear boy.
22:39Remember?
22:41I shan't destroy the paper.
22:43Until you've returned the compliment.
22:47Remember?
22:48Tittle for tattle?
22:51Look at you. I mean, what's all the...
22:53Oh, of course.
22:56We are above the bourgeois epitant costume.
22:59The revels have begun.
23:01Life is mystery enough without your pale conundrums.
23:05Oh, so many people.
23:08So little purpose.
23:10That's God's conundrum.
23:12If only we mortals could answer that.
23:15Then your life would have no meaning.
23:18Oh.
23:21Cruel.
23:22Cruel, cruel.
23:24That's so true.
23:25I've always said that if I let mutual friend...
23:27Charles Augustus Middleton was the bad angel.
23:30I am the good angel.
23:32I suppress much, much more than I expose.
23:36What sort of world would it be if I didn't?
23:41Which one is she?
23:44Over there, my dear fellow.
23:46You could hardly mistake her with young Lomond.
23:52La belle dame.
23:54Sans.
23:55Merci.
24:00Douglas Maberly.
24:03And others.
24:05All those, all those, all those.
24:09Douglas is one of the most striking young men in London.
24:12He gave all and expected all.
24:17Yes.
24:19It was she who ended it.
24:21Brutally.
24:23Married with a penless diplomat of little breeding was not in the widow's plans.
24:28Don't you read my column?
24:32And yet he seems, even in death, to have some hold over her.
24:38What is it?
24:39Do what you like with the information I gave you, but have no truck with her.
24:43She, look.
24:44The sight of her set my hairs on end.
24:48It's deadly.
24:50And now she has her great ducal line within her grasp.
24:54Look at them.
24:56She's old enough to be his...
24:58Ah, the anguished mother.
25:07I helped her husband once.
25:09What is your interest in her now?
25:12Douglas is history.
25:13He's dust.
25:14Dust.
25:14Can't we all?
25:16Can't we all?
25:19Even you?
25:20Not me, dear boy.
25:22Not me.
25:23I withstand the blasts of time.
25:27Can't you see?
25:29Can't you see?
25:36Can't you see?
25:49Can't you see?
25:50Doctor charles.
25:51How is that all?
26:17Maybe he's in the nega.

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