00:14May first... May first...
02:34Mr. Savage, sir.
02:36I didn't know, sir.
02:37Sir, I didn't know.
02:38It's all right, Benson.
02:40Last-minute decision.
02:42I didn't know.
02:43I didn't know.
03:28Oh, there you are.
03:31Adelaide.
03:32Good morning.
03:37Where's Victor gone?
03:38Victor?
03:39Victor.
03:40Please do not pretend you are ignorant of where he is.
03:43Am I my cousin's keeper?
03:45I should be obliged if you would tell me where he has gone.
03:47I know what he's gone to do.
03:49Where has he gone?
03:50You have the advantage of me, my dear.
03:52I was expecting to walk over to Home Farm with him this morning.
03:55Have you no pity for us?
03:57Have you no pity for us?
03:58Have you encouraged him into this nightmarish life?
04:03I pity for you.
04:06At Summerley House with your lovely children, the love you have for each other.
04:10Where has he gone?
04:11Oh, I can see I am unwelcome.
04:15Some unruiting fault, I fear.
04:18I shall return to town and leave you in peace.
04:31Oh, Dr. Watson, we have been missing you.
04:35Only another ten days.
04:37Yes.
04:39Morning, Holmes.
04:44Don't ask me to comment on your new tie.
04:51Quite heartless, Holmes.
04:59That woman is undoubtedly coming here.
05:03She's been staring up at this window for the past three minutes.
05:05Oh, I do wish she'd make up her mind.
05:08I could ask Mrs. Hudson to bring up an extra car.
05:12Handsome, isn't she?
05:13Who?
05:16It's also something of importance to make her hesitate so long.
05:21A client.
05:48All right, Polly.
05:50Polly, here's a good girl.
06:07Mr. Savage, John Gedgrave, who the devil have you been?
06:13Two pounds, Mr. Savage, in advance, and three for the establishment, five in total.
06:20I think it's worth it.
06:22Oh, anonymous was the word you used.
06:25Where we're going is as anonymous as you'll ever find.
06:28Every compartment.
06:29There's a curtain, even.
06:31No one will see you.
06:32Oh, good Lord, you aren't taking these with you, are you?
06:37No.
06:37Oh, no.
06:38No, no, no.
06:40Might as well tear them up and drop them in the Thames.
06:44Forty pounds.
06:45I'll give you a seat.
06:53Oh, that'll be our fair visitor.
07:09Please, do sit down.
07:21Come on, go.
07:23Come on.
07:23Come on.
07:24Come on, go, go.
07:31Come on.
07:35Come on, go!
07:36Come on, come on!
07:36Come on.
07:37Come on.
07:38How far do you know?
07:41This receipt, Gedgrave.
07:43What about it?
07:44Well, what are you playing at?
07:45Signed it Carter.
07:46You don't expect me to use my real name doing this sort of work, do you?
07:50Carter's my real name.
07:52I could have signed it anything.
07:55I've entrusted you with my real name, Mr. Savage.
08:00Please, don't complain.
08:14I need your help.
08:20I am...
08:22Anything you say here will, of course, be treated in the strictest confidence.
08:25We have kept the secrets of kings, madam.
08:31I am...
08:33My husband.
08:55My husband.
09:09My husband is a financier.
09:12You have heard of the Oxford and Lombard Bank?
09:14Yes.
09:16The chief shareholders are the Conyers.
09:19My husband's family on his mother's side.
09:21He is one of the directors.
09:23The job is well within his powers, only...
09:28Victor has found the work increasingly irksome.
09:32He entertains an ambition, you see, which none of his family would begin to understand.
09:38What is that?
09:40He wishes to be a poet.
09:47He has come to believe that opium heightens his powers, intensifies the evidence of his senses.
10:17This may be so temporally, but as I'm sure you know, the effect only survives the first few times the
10:22drug is taken.
10:23And that is so, is it not?
10:25Oh, yes, indeed.
10:27Addiction quickly follows, very often for life.
10:30The infernal substance soon offers the addict nothing except relief from the terrible effects of its absence.
10:39I believe Victor stands on the threshold of addiction.
10:43He left a note for me this morning which suggests he knows what danger he's in.
10:48You are going?
10:50Well, clearly, Dr. Watson is the person to consult in this matter.
10:53No, Mr. Holmes, no.
10:54There is much more to it than that.
10:57There is Mr. Culverton Smith.
11:00Culverton Smith?
11:01Victor's cousin.
11:03He is a malign influence.
11:06I am sure he has driven Victor to this,
11:09and I am certain he has done it for his own ends.
11:34The cab's on the corner.
11:39I do hope this is not a wild goose chase.
11:41How can it be?
11:43Well,
11:46I think you've had your head turned by a pretty wound.
11:50Oh, yes.
11:50What about Culverton Smith?
11:52I looked him up.
11:53Culverton Smith did some important medical work while he was in the East.
11:57He pushed back the boundaries of science.
11:59However,
12:01he was obliged to publish his findings at his own expense.
12:07Why?
12:09He's an amateur,
12:12and the professionals are jealous.
12:14Well, I can see why he interests you.
12:28I can see why he's a celebrity.
12:29Your mystery guests.
12:31Who are they?
12:33I couldn't let Colonel Karnak be the only celebrity.
12:37I don't want him at our table because he's a celebrity, my darling.
12:41It's just that he's horribly rich.
12:43Or rather,
12:44his wife is.
12:45And they bank with the Oxford and Lombard.
12:49I can't think of anything worse than hunting stories all through dinner.
12:52Nor were I.
12:53So I persuaded a rather more interesting hunter to join us.
12:58Who is it?
13:00Don't tease, Addy.
13:04Sherlock Holmes.
13:06I say,
13:07that is something of a coup.
13:10Well done.
13:13Oh, look,
13:14Calverton Smith's here too.
13:16I'm so glad he felt able to invite him again, Addy, darling.
13:20Look at him.
13:22Anyone would think Somerly was his.
13:24I do dislike it.
13:26I do dislike it.
13:40Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
13:42Yeah.
13:42Calverton Smith.
13:44Dear Adelaide,
13:45promised me a surprise guest.
13:46I feared it might be somebody who was famous for being famous.
13:50Someone of your distinction I'd not expected at all.
13:53Not I one of yours.
13:54Not mine.
13:56I make no claims to distinction, Mr. Holmes.
13:59You are too modest.
14:01Your account of the pathology of the Sumatran river fever is a masterpiece.
14:10For a lure to work, of course,
14:12you have to make the animal believe it's safe.
14:13Now, that's all very well.
14:16The animals involved, however,
14:17have a highly developed sense of danger.
14:20I'm sure Mr. Holmes must have that sense too.
14:22Do you, Mr. Holmes?
14:24Yes.
14:24Yes.
14:25I see it.
14:26Yes.
14:27You mean that the detective could be said to move in a world of predators and victims?
14:33Oh, we all do that, Cal.
14:34Even humble family solicitors.
14:38Yes.
14:39And you would have enemies, Mr. Holmes, would you not?
14:42Yes.
14:43Yes.
14:44It would take something, I dare say, to bring Mr. Holmes onto a lure and dispatch him.
14:49It would take careful study of his habits.
14:52But a half-light shot, or worse,
14:55it might even be necessary to follow him up.
14:58To his lair, even.
15:00Bertram, be quiet.
15:23You're not eating, Mr. Holmes.
15:27With so much to observe, food becomes a secondary importance.
15:33What have you observed so far?
15:34Courage, fever, gluttony, acute irritation, envy, wit, intelligence.
15:49I mean, just the usual vices and virtues, with any large English country hires.
15:56This is very good.
16:07Do you know the game of shove-havening?
16:11Well, it's similar.
16:14I call this one rug-skatering.
16:17My more serious gambling friends,
16:20the stockbroking fraternity, that is to say,
16:22I've introduced it to their establishments to the fury of their wives.
16:27It is agreed, however, that the authentic summery version is best.
16:36And she never wore them at all.
16:40Will the men be mortified if we don't cheer them on at their silly games?
16:44I dare say they will.
16:45There's almost a reason for not doing it.
16:50But for the sake of harmony,
16:51we indulge, little boys.
16:55Well done, well done.
17:02Shit!
17:03Bravo!
17:07Our host has again out-jumped all his days.
17:11So, the lawyer takes the pot.
17:14Well done, Charles.
17:15My turn now.
17:19Faithful show, gentlemen.
17:21I shall halve your estimates of last time.
17:40Oh, ma.
17:41It's quite a right fight, children.
17:43Oh, ma.
17:43It's too.
17:44I shall halve your estimates.
17:47Oh, ma.
17:55What is wrong with Papa?
17:59When he hugged me, he felt horrid.
18:03He felt all cold and shivery.
18:07What do you mean by that, darling?
18:09He felt as if he was dead.
18:31He felt as if he was dead.
18:48He felt as if he was dead.
19:20He felt as if he was dead.
20:15He felt as if he was dead.
20:27Doctor!
20:50Doctor!
21:06Smith?
21:10Poor fellow. I could do nothing for him, Mr. Holmes.
21:14Not even I.
21:18The nursing was all right, too.
21:19A tragic business.
21:22Will you satisfy me upon one point?
21:24Of course.
21:25This disease, do you know what it was?
21:28All the signs
21:29point to that class of fevers
21:31in which the Sumatran River fever
21:33is the most deadly.
21:35It was not necessarily that, however.
21:38Or something very like it.
21:40I have advised that the poor fellow's
21:42body is handled with extreme care.
21:45It is a disease transmitted through broken skin, you see.
21:48They cannot be too careful.
21:52How did Savage come by such a thing?
21:55Ah.
21:57I can rely on your discretion.
21:59Of course.
22:00I understand Savage sometimes frequented.
22:04Well, that's to say, his affairs
22:06took him to a part of Rotherhithe,
22:08inhabited mostly by Chinese and Lascars.
22:11He must have picked it up there.
22:13The authorities in Rotherhithe
22:15must be informed.
22:16They will be.
22:17Whether the measures they take
22:18turn out to be appropriate
22:19is another matter.
22:20Most institutions, I'm afraid,
22:22are run by the criminally lazy.
22:24I know Penrose Fisher
22:26and the Director of Little Alderwood Ica.
22:28I'm grateful for your interest, Mr. Holmes.
22:31Poor Adelaide.
22:32This will hit her very hard.
22:42I won't.
22:43I won't.
22:54I won't.
23:11I'll catch you by the side.
23:26Leave Somerly.
23:29I must leave Somerly.
23:31As soon as Will is proved, Calverton Smith is within his rights to ask you to go.
23:37I'm very sorry, Adelaide.
23:40All this has its origins in Sir Bernard's Will.
23:43Partly I blame myself.
23:45This entailment to Victor Zelda's cousin of the house and the rest of it is...
23:49The rest of it?
23:51The income from the Berkshire estate.
23:55That will go to him too?
23:57Yes.
23:59Dear God.
24:00What is left?
24:03Enough for you to live.
24:05Modestly and respectably.
24:08You will not be able to continue as you have done.
24:10No.
24:12I see.
24:15As I say, I had asked Victor many times to change the terms of the entail to favour you in
24:21your lifetime.
24:22It would have been legal, of course, and easily done, but...
24:28Victor was young.
24:29Surely.
24:30Calverton Smith will not exercise his right to evict Mrs Savage.
24:35He might.
24:36Why do you think that?
24:37He's been in touch.
24:38He seems to know the main dispositions of the will.
24:41He talked of the estate income being put to a proper use, whatever that meant.
24:46He seemed to think that Adelaide would be able to rely on her family.
24:50They haven't the means.
24:52When he knows that, he must relent.
24:54I doubt it.
24:56He has wanted something like this to happen ever since he came into our lives.
25:01He encouraged all that was weakest in Victor in the hope of some disaster.
25:07This is a triumph for him.
25:11It may be worth talking to him, Adelaide.
25:15I suppose so.
25:18If you could bring yourself to plead with him.
25:25For the children, I will do even that.
25:32Oh, Percy, doubly on those.
25:35Now, remember, all this happened nine days ago.
25:38That was the day when the Queen entertained the Sultan of Kalipur
25:43and Frivolous won the Birkenhead Stakes.
25:47Goodwood.
25:48Right.
25:52Harry, where are your boots?
25:55I see.
25:56Well, then, off to all the hives.
25:58Well, good luck.
26:01Good luck.
26:06Oh!
26:09Yeah, let's go!
26:11One, two, three, two, four!
26:26There, Holmes.
26:28That is a list of every blemish I could find on the skin surface.
26:31I presume you were seeking the means of transmission?
26:34Yes.
26:36Through broken skin?
26:37That is how a Carlton Smith believes it was transmitted.
26:42His opinion is worth knowing, certainly.
26:49What do you think of him, Fisher?
26:53He is a friend of yours?
26:54Not at all.
26:54I hardly know him.
26:56I have read a couple of his papers, that's all.
27:01Well, I think his work, in parts, brilliant.
27:08If he has a fault, it is that he can accept no criticism whatsoever.
27:13I did find an insect bite, but no other puncture of the skin at all.
27:18I even looked inside the mouth.
27:19It seems clear that no human agency was involved.
27:23I assume you're investigating the possibility of this disease having been passed on deliberately.
27:29Well, what a unique delight to meet a man with a mind as logical as yours.
27:39Is this him?
27:40Yes.
27:41Mr. Holmes?
27:42Ah, well-ho, then.
27:44You are?
27:45Er, Gedgrave.
27:47John Gedgrave.
27:48Holmes.
27:52This way.
27:56Recognise him soon as I see the newspaper.
27:59That's him, all right?
27:59How did you come to be acting for him?
28:03Advert.
28:04Gentleman of discretion required, with knowledge of doc etiquette.
28:08Doc etiquette?
28:09For knowing your way round the poppy houses.
28:12Opium.
28:13Well, I knew one or two of the better places.
28:17Was the advertisement placed by Savage?
28:19No.
28:20Who, then?
28:21I don't know.
28:22Mr. Gedgrave, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?
28:26No, no.
28:27It was some fellow I met in a rented office.
28:29Describe him for me.
28:31Well, I can't.
28:33Well, what I mean is, I never saw the fellow.
28:36He didn't mean me to.
28:38He kept a light shining in my eyes all the time.
28:42Indeed.
28:43When was this?
28:44The 14th.
28:45He paid all right.
28:47Told me I was to be contacted.
28:49And I was.
28:50To meet him.
28:53What happened to him?
28:54I don't want any trouble.
28:55That's why I come to you.
28:56Where did you take him?
28:58A house in Duke's Alley.
29:00It's a good place.
29:02Good?
29:03Oh, never had any problems there.
29:05Good place.
29:07What happened to him?
29:08Holmes.
29:09Oh, sorry.
29:12Thank you, Mr. Gedgrave, for your trouble.
29:15Anytime, Mr. Holmes, anytime.
29:16Oh, generous.
29:18That is, uh, generous.
29:20I will need a guy.
29:22In Rotherhithe.
29:24You want the best places.
29:25I'm your man.
29:26Look no further.
29:27Tomorrow morning.
29:2910.30.
29:31Done.
29:34The, uh, the Red Slipper Club.
29:37Ask for, uh, Carter.
29:40Frank Carter.
29:43Will that be you, Mr. Gedgrave?
29:50Mrs. Watson?
29:52Dr. Watson may be staying for dinner.
29:57Now, Watson.
29:58Culverton Smith means to throw Mrs. Savage and her children out of Summerley House.
30:03How is he able to do that?
30:04The house is entailed to him an old will which has never been revised.
30:08Well, that is interesting.
30:09You know what this means?
30:10It means that Carlton Smith had a motive for doing away with his cousin.
30:14No.
30:15No.
30:16Savage is dead.
30:17Killed by a disease in which Culverton Smith was the acknowledged expert.
30:23No, no, no, no, no, no.
30:25Are you deliberately trying to misunderstand me?
30:27You have pointed out a remarkable coincidence, that is all.
30:31But you...
30:32No influences can be drawn from it.
30:35We cannot allow Mrs. Savage to be thrown into the street by this fellow.
30:38We may have to.
30:57That is all.
31:27It must have been Culverton Smith who rented the office.
31:31I dare say, but it proves nothing.
31:33There must be a way of stopping him, Holmes, surely.
31:36Well, I doubt it more and more.
31:42Suppose you were convinced of his guilt.
31:44What would you do then?
31:46You know my methods? I would gain entry to the house.
31:48Then that's what I shall do.
31:50You don't have to come.
31:52No, unless I shall.
31:54You've already had your head turned.
31:57I must make sure you don't get your neck broken as well.
32:04Once poor Savage had been convinced that opium would open the door to the mysteries of the poetic craft,
32:11Culverton Smith would have had him in his power, wouldn't he?
32:14He traded on Savage's sense of guilt.
32:17He knew that Savage would want to continue experimenting with the drug far away from Somerly.
32:23What you have to face, Watson, is that Savage's catching the disease in Rotherhithe is entirely plausible.
32:32The coincidence that Smith's expertise on the matter is exactly that.
32:38A coincidence.
32:39You can't hang a man on coincidence.
33:02Ma'am.
33:05Ma'am.
33:07We have reason to believe that, um, well, as a matter of fact, you are trespassing.
33:22Sergeant, I'm sure you're as aware as I am with laws of trespass in this country, I'm most curious, not
33:29to say odd.
33:31I should know.
33:34I have responsibility for hundreds of acres, which are about to be stolen from me through legal trickery.
33:44I am a man, a man, a man who preyed on my husband like some bloated parasite, corrupted him and
33:58drove him to his death.
34:00And now, now he will not speak to the woman he has widowed.
34:12He knows he has no justice on his side, merely cold legality.
34:24Benson, Mrs. Savage should now return to Somerly House.
34:28Yes, sir.
34:32Ma'am, you have my assurance.
34:35I will pursue Carverton Smith.
34:38I will not rest until he has renounced his plans to ruin you.
34:43And Mr. Holmes.
34:46I see.
34:47I do not blame him.
34:50He only sees it as the world sees it.
34:54Unfortunate and cold-hearted on Mr. Smith's spark, perhaps.
34:58But no case to answer.
35:01No case to answer.
35:08Smith!
35:13Smith!
35:16Oh!
35:18It is a singular coincidence, is it not,
35:22that you should inherit so much from the man who dies of a disease upon which you are the sole
35:32expert?
35:35Well!
35:41Coincidence bordering upon the unbelievable.
35:44Let me tell you.
35:48The doors of your profession,
35:52which have been closed to you,
35:55will now be locked and bolted against you.
36:03It is my mission.
36:30Yes?
36:34The post, Mr. Holmes.
36:36Mr. Holmes.
36:49You're a decent tobacco.
36:51Tell him I call Lyle.
36:54Hmm.
37:06Mr. Sarge,
37:07I know you will be sensible enough not to come to rely on this,
37:11but it will help you through these difficult days.
37:14Thank you, Doctor.
37:23Doctor!
37:24You must come quickly!
37:26It's Mr. Holmes!
37:27Oh, Mr. Holmes!
37:27Yes!
37:30Why didn't you call me sooner?
37:32But he wouldn't give me leave!
37:34So I said, permission or no, I am!
37:37And he said, well, that he'd be once then.
37:40Oh, Doctor!
37:42I think he's dying!
37:43Now, now, Mrs. Holmes and I,
37:45I'm sure it's not as bad as you fear.
37:48But he won't let me leave!
37:50He hasn't eaten a scrap!
37:52He has had plenty to drink, I trust.
37:55Not as droppers past his lips these three days.
37:58And he's been to Rotherhithe.
38:00He thinks he caught the fever there.
38:03He's dying, Doctor!
38:11Holmes?
38:17Holmes!
38:22Watson, we have fallen upon bad times.
38:25My dear fellow!
38:26Stand back! Please stand right back!
38:28I'll have you thrown out of the house.
38:30I only wish to help.
38:31The best thing you can do to help is to do as you're told.
38:34Of course.
38:35Are you wrong?
38:37What about Calderton Smith?
38:39We may not like the man, but he's no murderer.
38:42The river fever is abroad in Rotherhithe.
38:45Holmes, we must get you to hospital at once.
38:48Can't I give your distance, please?
38:50Don't you see this thing is contagious?
38:52Do you think such a consideration weighs with me?
38:55Give your distance!
38:58This could run through London!
39:05Well, if there are bivalves, presumably there are monovalves.
39:17It's tramps!
39:20Holmes?
39:22Well...
39:26If I'm to have a doctor, at least let me have someone in whom I have confidence.
39:30You have none in me.
39:32Your friendship, yes, but I mean you're only a general practitioner with mediocre qualifications.
39:38That remark is unworthy of you, Holmes.
39:41Shows me very clearly the state of your nerves.
39:43I'll demonstrate your ignorance.
39:45What do you know that's haponuli fever?
39:47What do you know that black formosa corruption?
39:50I have never heard of either.
39:51Very strange pathological disorders in the East!
39:55If you have no faith in me, let me fetch Jasper Mead.
39:57Penrose Fisher Ainschair here is in London. Let me fetch him.
40:01Well, there is only one man who can help me.
40:05The man we have maligned.
40:08Carverton Smith, do you believe he would help?
40:10He must.
40:13It is my only chance.
40:19Oysters.
40:23They do breed, don't they?
40:26I cannot think but the whole bed of the ocean is one solid mass of oysters.
40:34Holmes.
40:36Can you hear me?
40:39I am going for Carverton Smith this instant.
40:43Then go.
40:45I am to bring him back here with me.
40:48Oh, he is the emperor of river fevers.
40:53Of course you must persuade him, but you must return alone.
40:57I can make any excuse not to come with him.
41:02But then I apologise.
41:04I do.
41:06Don't fail me, Watson.
41:08Of course not.
41:14And what of rivers.
41:18Are there no natural enemies to limit the increase of these creatures?
41:26It's horrible.
41:29Horrible.
41:43It's essential that I see Mr. Carverton Smith.
41:45Mr. Carverton Smith, sir, does not appreciate being disturbed during his hours of study.
41:49Just a minute, sir.
41:50You can't just...
41:51Smith!
41:52Sir!
41:53Smith!
41:54Please, sir!
41:56Smith!
41:57Sir, you can't just...
41:58You can't just walk in, sir.
42:07Ah, Smith.
42:09What the devil do you mean by this, sir?
42:11I've come from Sherlock Holmes.
42:14He's desperately ill, and he begs you to come to him.
42:17Why?
42:19You are a physician.
42:20Tend him yourself?
42:21He believes that you are the only man who can save him.
42:25Save him?
42:26I beg you to come.
42:29What has he contracted?
42:31He thinks it is the fever which killed your cousin.
42:33How did he come by it?
42:35He has been in Rotherhithe.
42:37Ah.
42:39I'm sorry to hear this.
42:42I hope you are wrong.
42:45Despite his insulting behaviour the other day,
42:47I have every respect for his talents.
42:50He is an amateur of crime, as I am of disease.
42:54For him, the villain.
42:56For me, the microbe.
42:59Here are my prisoners.
43:02Among these gelatin cultivations,
43:05some of the worst offenders in the world are doing time.
43:08Please, please, there is no time to lose.
43:10He is desperately ill.
43:11Of what consequence is that to me?
43:15He maligned me in the most outrageous man.
43:17He regrets it.
43:18He was most insistent upon that point.
43:19He knows that the fever was abroad in Rotherhithe.
43:26How long has he been ill?
43:27Three days.
43:29Is he delirious?
43:30Sometimes seriously so.
43:32I will come with you at once.
43:34I have another appointment.
43:35Very well, I shall go alone.
43:37Staples!
43:37I can rely upon my being there in half an hour at most.
43:43Did you see him?
43:44Yes, he's coming.
43:46Oh, you're the best of messages.
43:47You can disappear from the scene.
43:50I should state to hear his opinion, Holmes.
43:52I really should.
43:52He's morbidly sensitive.
43:54We must let him practice his arts alone.
43:56That's the front door.
43:58It's him.
44:00Hide!
44:01Rick, you cannot be!
44:24Holmes?
44:52Holmes.
44:53Holmes.
44:54Oh, Smith, I hardly dare to hope.
44:57I should imagine not.
44:59Yet, you see, I am here.
45:01Coals of fire, Holmes.
45:02Coals of fire.
45:03It's noble.
45:05You know what is wrong with you?
45:07Yes.
45:07You recognise the symptoms?
45:09Yes, quite well.
45:10Three days with you, then?
45:11Yes.
45:12You have lasted well.
45:13With Victor, it was all over by now.
45:16I have noticed this.
45:17The more mature coolies seemed to last longer.
45:20Water, please. Could I have some water?
45:22Oh, the final thirst.
45:23I...
45:25You're near the end.
45:33Please help me.
45:34Help me if you can.
45:36I can.
45:38Look, I could champion your cause.
45:41My cause?
45:41Your work.
45:42Your work.
45:43It deserves to be trumpeted.
45:44I...
45:45I could be of service.
45:46I doubt it.
45:48Thanks to you, the damage done to my reputation is irreparable.
45:53You mean...
45:54Victor Savage, your cousin?
45:56No, I'd forgotten that.
45:58Did you?
46:00Were you involved?
46:01I couldn't be sure.
46:08The great detective couldn't be sure.
46:12Well, it doesn't matter to me if you know how Savage died.
46:15I don't see you in the witness box.
46:17Quite another sort of box.
46:19No.
46:24I put an infected mosquito to his neck while he was in an opiate stupor.
46:31There.
46:35But you...
46:36How did you come to contract it?
46:39That fellow who came for me told me you thought you'd caught it in Rotherhithe.
46:44Oh, I could only account for it, sir.
46:46Cast your mind back.
46:48Oh, God!
46:49Cramps?
46:49Yes!
46:51Cramps!
46:51Help me!
46:52I will.
46:53The pain!
46:55Yes.
46:56The coolies used to do some squealing before the end.
47:00Well, now.
47:05A few days before your symptoms began, did you receive anything by post?
47:11I can't think.
47:12A parcel?
47:13No.
47:14You did.
47:15Only a sample of some tobacco.
47:17That's right.
47:19Did you notice the construction of the box?
47:22Under the tobacco, two small tacks stuck out.
47:26You didn't see them?
47:31They were infected.
47:34You fool.
47:37You would tangle with me and now you are finished.
47:43The box.
47:47Where is it?
47:51Where is it?
47:52No.
47:55No.
48:00Turn up the gas.
48:02The shadows begin to lengthen, do they?
48:04No.
48:05Yes, I'll do that.
48:06No.
48:07No.
48:12I'd prefer to see you die in the light.
48:25There it is.
48:28Your last shred of evidence.
48:31Well, well.
48:33Is there any other little service I can do you, my friend?
48:36Imagine the cigarette would be most welcome.
48:55Three days without food and water is one thing.
48:59But to be without tobacco, I have found most irksome.
49:03Come in, Inspector.
49:08By turning up the gas, Smith was good enough to give our signal himself.
49:15This is the self-confessed murderer of Victor Savage.
49:19You may lie as you like, Holmes.
49:21You have no corroboration for your insane suspicions.
49:24Watson?
49:26He has a box behind his back.
49:29Treat it very gingerly.
49:31And don't open it!
49:33Damn you.
49:35Stop it! Damn you!
50:01The best way of acting a part successfully is to be it.
50:05It's the Vaseline.
50:06For the forehead.
50:08Belladonna in the eye.
50:12Beeswax.
50:13Encrustation around the lips.
50:16Why...
50:17Why wouldn't you let me know when in truth there was no infection?
50:21Can you imagine that I have no respect for your medical talents?
50:25At six feet, I could deceive you.
50:28But any closer...
50:31With your distitute judgment...
50:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
50:34No, it was essential
50:36that you and Mrs. Hudson believed me to be at death's door.
50:40Otherwise, Smith would have smelt a rat.
50:43Rats!
50:44Beeswax!
50:46Mr. Holmes!
50:47You are the very worst tenant in London!
50:50Come on!
51:00Georgie says he's going to guard the house.
51:02Oh, they're fine children, Mrs. Hudson.
51:04They're little angels.
51:05We're usually known as little savages.
51:11We're usually known as little savages.
51:14Thank you, Dr. Watson, for letting us keep our home.
51:18Oh, thank you, my dear.
51:19I'd like to take the credit, but it belongs to Mr. Holmes.
51:37We are very grateful to you, sir.
51:43My privilege, Miss Savage.
51:44My pleasure, Mr. Holmes.
52:02My pleasure.
52:14My pleasure, Mr. Watson.
52:19All right, my dream.
52:30My pleasure, Mr. Watson.
52:34My pleasure, Missausie, pimpilyy,
52:38Mr. Holmes.
52:40Thank you, my tecnología and love we love,
