00:00The End
02:16Your mamas have that and your country too.
03:16Never allow yourself to love someone too deeply, Mr. Bates.
03:21It will destroy you.
04:36So you've come.
07:15Thank you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
07:23Thank you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
07:34But I know, beyond all doubt, that Miss Dumbar is innocent.
07:40You know the facts.
07:41Who doesn't?
07:43There has been the gossip of the country,
07:45and never a voice raised for her.
07:47It's the damned injustice of it all that makes me crazy.
07:52That woman has a heart that wouldn't let her kill a fly.
07:55Maybe I have a clue and don't know it.
07:58Anyway, all I know and all I have and all I am
08:01are for your use, if only you can save her.
08:05You hardly have time to master all these cuttings,
08:08so I must give it to you in a nutshell,
08:09if you have to take an intelligent interest in the proceedings.
08:13Mr. Gibson, as I understand, is a man who married a Brazilian wife,
08:17and for whom I know nothing, said that she was Pastor Prime,
08:20which was all the more unfortunate, as a very attractive governess
08:23superintended the education of two children.
08:25These are the three people concerned.
08:27The scene is the grand old manor house.
08:31I said the tragedy takes place across a bridge over a lake
08:36half a mile from the house.
08:39The wife was found late at night by a gamekeeper on that bridge.
08:44She was clad in a dinner dress and a revolver
08:48bullet through her brain.
08:51No weapon was found near her, and there
08:54was no local clue as to her murder.
08:58No weapon near her, Mark, that, Watson.
09:02Is this too condensed?
09:03Or can you follow it clearly?
09:04No, no, no.
09:05It's all very clear, but why suspect the governess?
09:09In the first place, there was some very direct evidence.
09:12The dead woman had a note upon her,
09:15making an appointment at the bridge.
09:16Touch nothing, Mr. Metz.
09:18And signed by the governors.
09:21Mr. Gibson sent his farm manager for the police and stayed with the body,
09:28insisting that nothing should be removed until the police arrived just after 11.
09:35Then there is the evidence of the revolver with one discharge chamber.
09:40Miss Dunbar?
09:41And a caliber which corresponded with the bullet.
09:44Yes, I see it here.
09:46It was found in the drawer of her wardrobe.
09:52In the drawer of her wardrobe.
09:56That's pretty damning.
09:58So the two juries thought.
09:59It is now referred to the Assizes in Winchester.
10:03And the motive?
10:08Mr. Gibson is a very attractive man.
10:11If his wife dies, who more likely to succeed her than the young lady
10:16who had already, by all accounts, received pressing attentions from her employer.
10:21Love, fortune, power.
10:23All depending upon one middle-aged man.
10:28Ugly, Watson.
10:30Very ugly.
10:32Nor could she prove an alibi.
10:34On the contrary, she had to admit that she was down to the bridge by 9 o'clock.
10:38Her servant had seen her hurrying there.
10:41Well, that really does seem final.
10:43Oh.
10:45And yet, Watson.
10:48And yet.
10:51Unless I'm mistaken, that is our client considerably before this time.
10:55Gentleman to see, sir?
10:56Mr. Neil Gibson.
10:57No, sir, not him.
10:58His name's Bates.
10:59And he looks a bit aggravated.
11:02Thank you, Billy.
11:06I had only a short time, Mr. Bates.
11:08I know Mr. Gibson is coming.
11:09I am manager of his estate.
11:12Mr. Holmes, he's a villain.
11:13An infernal villain.
11:15Strong words, Mr. Bates.
11:17Well, I have to be emphatic, Mr. Holmes.
11:18The time's so limited, I'd not have him find me here for the world.
11:21And you're his manager.
11:22Oh, I've given him notice.
11:23In a couple of weeks, I shall have shaken off his cursed slavery.
11:27He's a hard man, Mr. Holmes.
11:29Hard to all about him.
11:30But his wife was his chief victim.
11:32He was brutal to her.
11:33Oh, yes, sir, brutal.
11:35Now, how's she come by her death, I do not know.
11:37But let me tell you, he made her life a misery.
11:41She was a creature of the tropics.
11:43A Brazilian by birth, as you no doubt know.
11:46Yes, sir, I understand.
11:46Please continue, continue.
11:48Well, tropical by birth, tropical by nature.
11:50She was a child of the sun.
11:52And of passion.
11:54She loved him as only such women can love.
11:56We all felt for her.
11:58Hated him for the way he treated her.
12:00But he's plausible.
12:02And cunning.
12:03And that's all I have to tell you.
12:05Don't take him at face value.
12:07There is more behind.
12:08Now I'll go.
12:09No, please don't detain me.
12:10He's almost due.
12:14Well, well, well.
12:16Mr. Gibson has a nice, loyal household.
12:18And the warning is a useful one.
12:49Mr. Gibson?
12:50Straight upstairs, sir.
12:52Mr. Gibson?
13:03This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson.
13:11Now, let me say right here, Mr. Holmes.
13:13Money is nothing to me in this business.
13:15You can burn it.
13:16If it's any use in lighting you to the truth,
13:19this woman is innocent.
13:20This woman has to be cleared.
13:22It's up to you to do it.
13:24Now, name your figure.
13:25My professional charges are at a fixed rate.
13:28I do not vary them, save when I remit them altogether.
13:33Well, if money makes no difference, too,
13:35you'll think of the reputation.
13:37If you pull this off,
13:38every newspaper in England and America
13:40will be booming you.
13:42You'll be the talk of two continents.
13:44I do not think I'm in need of booming, Mr. Gibson.
13:49Please, let us get down to the facts.
13:52Well, you'll find most of the main ones in the press reports.
13:55I don't think I can add much to them,
13:56but if there's anything you'd wish more light on,
13:58well, I'm here to give it.
13:59Well, there is just one point.
14:01What is it?
14:03What are your exact relations with Miss Dunbar?
14:10I suppose you are within your rights,
14:12maybe doing your duty in asking such a question, Mr. Holmes?
14:17We would agree to suppose so.
14:19Well, then I can assure you that our relations were always and entirely
14:24those of an employer towards a young lady
14:28whom he never conversed with or even saw,
14:31shaved when she was in the company of his children.
14:43I'm rather the busy man, Mr. Gibson.
14:48And I have no time or taste for ableist conversations.
14:52I wish you good morning.
14:55What the devil do you mean by this, Mr. Holmes?
14:58Do you dismiss my case?
15:00No, Mr. Gibson, I dismiss you.
15:04The case is quite sufficiently complicated
15:06without the added difficulty of false information.
15:09Meaning that I lie?
15:10I tried to express it as delicately as I could,
15:14but if you insist upon the word, I will not contradict you.
15:18Don't be noisy, Mr. Gibson.
15:20I find after breakfast any argument most unsettling.
15:23I suggest a little stroll in the open air
15:25and some quiet thought will be greatly to your advantage.
15:30I've broken stronger men than you, Mr. Holmes.
15:33Nobody crosses me and gets the better of it.
15:37So many have said so, yet here I am.
15:41Ah, Watson, he has a great deal yet to learn.
15:45How on earth did you know about his relationship with the governess?
15:47Bluff, Watson. Bluff.
15:52I considered the passionate and unbusiness-like tone of his letter
15:55and contrasted it with his manner and appearance.
15:58It was pretty clear there was some deep emotion
16:01centered upon the accused woman rather than the victim.
16:03I bluffed him by giving the impression that I was absolutely certain of it.
16:07When in reality you were only suspicious, do you think he'll come back?
16:10He is sure to come back.
16:15He must come back.
16:51Oh, no, no, my dear Watson, I fear you will not improve any reputation I have acquired.
16:56By adding the Thorbridge mystery to your annals, I fear I have made a serious misjudgment.
17:05Holmes, the senator may not have returned, but surely his letter has engaged you on behalf of Miss Dunbar.
17:12She's the one in need.
17:14Might we not pay her a visit?
17:16In the cells of Winchester.
17:17In the cells of Winchester.
17:18But we require the official permits.
17:22Well, we have the means to apply.
17:25Of course, it may not be quite ethical.
17:28But practical, yes.
17:31Practical! I congratulate you.
18:01You solved that problem, Watson?
18:02Some officious little pipsqueak of a clerk queried both the letter and our home office permits.
18:07He demanded a personal authorization from Gibson himself.
18:10But you sorted it out.
18:12Only by the good fortune of meeting her lawyer, Mr Cummings.
18:15He secured a brief audience with her.
18:16Mr Joyce Cummings, a man with a rising reputation that is certainly in her favor.
18:40It really is providence to see you here, Mr Holmes.
18:43A trial is in two days and I really am at my wits end to find any evidence to say.
18:48She would admit to writing the notes and keeping the rendezvous with Mrs Gibson.
18:51She has little choice, but beyond that I've advised her to reserve her defense.
18:55Quite so.
19:15This is Mr Sherlock Holmes and his colleague, Dr Watson.
19:20Your employer, Mr Gibson, has engaged me to look into this unhappy matter.
19:25Oh, I'm very grateful to Mr Gibson.
19:29It is incredible that the charge against me has been sustained.
19:32I thought the whole thing would clear itself up in the police court.
19:36My dear young lady, I beg of you to have no illusions.
19:40Mr Cummings here will assure you that all the cards are present and against you.
19:44Mr Gibson is convinced of your innocence,
19:46but it would be a cruel deception to pretend that you are not in very great danger.
19:51I will conceal nothing.
19:53What were the true relations between you and Mr Gibson's wife?
19:58Permit? What permit?
20:01How dare you take this liberty, Mr Holmes?
20:05Mr Gibson and you, Cummings.
20:08I did not engage you, sir, to conspire against me.
20:11These men are here under false pretenses.
20:13I did not authorize their visit. They're deceivers.
20:16I demand their removal at once.
20:18Mr.
20:20You have made a disturbance, Mr Gibson, worthy of bedlam.
20:24And have you crushed for this, Holmes?
20:26Or it will profit you nothing.
20:28Mr Holmes.
20:29We are leaving, Superintendent.
20:33Mr Cummings, for the moment, Miss Dunbar.
20:38You must put your faith in Sherlock Holmes.
20:45I'm sorry.
20:48Mr...
20:48Ferguson.
20:53There is an excellent exhibition of the museum across the street. I recommend it to you.
20:58The museum closes at five.
21:03I hardly think it's a matter of charges, Superintendent.
21:06A misunderstanding.
21:22Ah, the copy of the lease of the Buckboat Glassworkers dated 1578.
21:30These Huguenots, are they, um, any relations of yours?
21:34Possibly.
21:37Mr.
21:38Henri de Portale and his papermaking at Laverstoke.
21:42They've had the manufacture of banknotes for over a hundred years.
21:45Quite good to know that there's money somewhere in your family.
21:58Good afternoon, Mr Ferguson.
22:01Mr Neil Gibson wishes to see you at Thor Place at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
22:06This evening will be more convenient.
22:08Good morning.
22:1011 o'clock, Mr Holmes.
22:12Will the motor be sent for us?
22:16There is a train which will take you to Thor Village.
22:19Mr Gibson is a busy man.
22:21He expects punctuality.
22:29How did you know that he was going to turn?
22:31I gambled.
22:32There would have been enough of an impression upon Miss Dunbar to turn us back into favour.
22:36We are, after all, her only hope.
22:38Now, Watson, we must find a comfortable inn for the night so that we can arrive punctually at Thor Place
22:44at 9 o'clock in the morning.
22:45I thought he said 11.
22:479, Watson, to meet Sergeant Coventry of the local police.
22:53At all events, Mr Holmes, I'd rather have you than Scotland Yard.
22:57If Yard gets called into a case, the local loses all credit for success and may be blamed for failure.
23:03Now you play straight, so I've heard.
23:06I need not appear in the matter at all.
23:08That's very handsome of you.
23:10And your friend Dr Watson can be trusted.
23:12I know.
23:14Now, there is one question I'd like to ask you, and I'd breathe it to no soul but you.
23:19Don't you think there might be a case against Mr Neil Gibson himself?
23:24According to the servants, he retired to his study after dinner and had no company at all until the alarm
23:31at 11.
23:33Yes, I've been considering, Mr Gibson.
23:36These Americans are ready with their pistols than our folk are.
23:39It was his pistol, you know. One of a pair he had.
23:43One of a pair? Where is the other?
23:46Well, these gentlemen have all kinds of firearms of one sort or another.
23:49We never quite matched that particular pistol.
23:51The box was made for two.
23:54Now, this is where the body lay.
23:56I gathered from the press reports that the shot was fired at close quarters.
24:00Very close, sir.
24:01Near the right temple?
24:02Just behind it, sir.
24:03How did the body lie?
24:04On the back, sir.
24:06No trace of a struggle.
24:07No mark.
24:07No weapons.
24:08The short note from Miss Dunbar was clutched in her left hand.
24:12Clutched?
24:13Yes, sir.
24:14We could hardly open her fingers.
24:16That is of the greatest importance.
24:17It excludes the idea that anybody could have placed it there after death to furnish a false clue.
24:24But dear me.
24:26Now, the note, as I remember, was quite short.
24:31Yes, and it would be at Thorbridge, nine o'clock, G Dunbar. Wasn't that it?
24:35So it was, sir.
24:37The point of the note is obscured, is it not?
24:40Well, sir, it seemed, if I may be bold as to say, sir, the only really clear point in the
24:44whole case.
24:45Assuming the note is genuine.
24:48She certainly received it some time before, say, an hour or two.
24:51Why was she then clasping it in her left hand?
24:54She had no need to refer to it in the interview.
25:00Does not that seem remarkable?
25:02Well, sir, as you put it, perhaps it does.
25:09That is curious.
25:11Oh, yes, sir. We noticed that.
25:13I expect it to be done by some passerby.
25:17It took some violence to do that.
25:19It was a hard knock.
25:21Not from above, but below.
25:23You see it's on the lower end of the parapet, Watson.
25:26Yes.
25:27And in a direct line with the position of the body.
25:31It's probably of no matter.
25:36No footprints, you say?
25:38The ground was iron hard, sir.
25:39No marks at all.
25:40There may have nothing more to learn here.
25:54You are early, Mr. Holmes.
25:57It is often the case with punctuality, Mr. Ferguson.
26:01Mr. Gibson is in a meeting.
26:03He is not ready to see you.
26:05I'll take care of them, Ferguson.
26:15I'm very glad to see you, gentlemen.
26:18As we are a little early, perhaps we can see the gunman.
26:50I'm very glad to see you.
26:51I'll take care of them.
26:51his enemies oh yes if you knew him and his methods he sleeps with a loaded
26:56revolver in a drawer by his bed it's a man of violence sir have you ever seen
27:01him strike his wife yes more than once our gold king does not seem to shine in
27:08private life that's the box that contained the murder weapon and it was
27:14one of a pair the other is missing mr. Ferguson is sure to know that you're
27:20consulting with us does that hold no alarm for you there's nothing you can do to
27:24hurt me now perhaps you'd be the kindest to show us the schoolroom
27:33grab the children sent away on a visit to America
27:44all around us their Brazilian heritage from their mother's side
27:53the children doted on her
27:57see Watson the Ricardo Franco Hills see those unscalable cliffs which tie with a foot of man
28:05and never touched where monsters from the dawn of history might still roll that's Marty's the
28:10Indian hunter about him his victims women and children pitiful would you say that Maria Gibson
28:22was jealous of Miss Dunbar and her influence over the children there was no love lost between
28:26them but that was because she could see her husband was under the lady's spell too get out of here
28:31Bates
28:41mr. Bates his views are not relevant mr. Holmes they're distorted by his infatuation for my late wife who knows
28:47mr. Gibson what is and what is not relevant
28:50you're like a surgeon who wants every symptom before he can give a diagnosis
28:55there's only a patient who has reason in deceiving his surgeon who conceals the facts
29:02I can assure you that the relations between mr. bar and myself do not touch this case
29:09well surely that is for me to decide
29:15most men have a little private reserve in some corner of their souls where they don't welcome intruders
29:20you burst suddenly into mine what is it you want
29:26the truth
29:36I met my wife when I was gold hunting in Brazil she was the daughter of a government official in
29:43Manaus
29:46even now as I look back with a colder eye she had a rich passionate nature tropical ill-balanced very
29:54different from the American women it was only when the romance had passed
30:00that I realized we had nothing absolutely nothing in common
30:05my love failed but you know the wonderful way of women
30:10do what I might nothing could turn her from me
30:15if I've been harsh to her even brutal it was because I knew that if I could kill her love
30:19or if it turned to hate
30:21it would be easier for us both but nothing changed
30:26she still adored me in these English woods as she had adored me 20 years before on the banks of
30:32the Amazon
30:33then came Miss Dunbar
30:35she is also a very beautiful woman and I'll admit to you that I could not live under the same
30:41roof in daily contact with her
30:43without feeling a passionate regard for her
30:45you blame me Mr. Holmes
30:46I don't blame you for feeling it I should blame you for expressing it
30:50since she was under your protection
30:51well maybe so I'm not pretending to be any better than I am
30:55I guess all my life I've been a man that reached out his hand for what he wanted
30:59and I never wanted anything more than the love and possession of that woman
31:04I told her so
31:06you did did you?
31:07I said if I could I'd marry her
31:09but it was out of my mouth
31:12money was no object
31:13I'd do all I could to make her happy and comfortable
31:16very generous of you
31:18now see here Mr. Holmes
31:19I came to you on a question of evidence not morals
31:22I'm not asking for criticism
31:24it is only for the lady say that I take on this case at all
31:29nothing that she is accused of is worse than what you yourself admitted
31:33that you tried to ruin the defenseless girl who was under your room
31:36you know some of you rich men must be taught
31:38that all the world cannot be bribed into condoning your offenses
31:43that's how I feel myself about it now
31:45I thank god my plans did not work out
31:48she'd have none of it
31:50she wanted to leave the house instantly
31:55but why did she not?
31:58others were dependent upon her
31:59and it was no light matter for her to let them down
32:03when I'd sworn that she should never be molested again
32:05she consented to stay
32:09but there was another reason
32:12she knew the influence that she had over me
32:14that it was stronger than any other influence in the world
32:18she wanted to use it for good
32:22you're cruel
32:23you destroy good people who can't stand up to you
32:27not everyone shares your strength
32:30can't you see that?
32:32you call it a fair fight
32:34but it isn't fair
32:37she saw it different
32:38she believed that a fortune for one man that was more than he needed
32:42should not be built on ten thousand ruined men who were left without the means of life
32:48with your children you show such tenderness and love
32:53treat the world in the same way
32:56she found that I listened to what she said
32:58so she stayed
33:00and then this came along
33:04Mr. Gibson can you throw any light upon it?
33:08one explanation
33:09I give it to you Mr. Holmes for what it's worth
33:12there's no doubt that my wife was bitterly jealous
33:16she might have planned to murder Mr. Mbaugh
33:18or threaten her with a gun
33:19and so frighten her into leaving us
33:23maybe there was a scuffle
33:24the gun went off and shot the woman who held it
33:28yes it is a possibility
33:31it is the only alternative to deliberate murder
33:35but she utterly denies it
33:37what is against such a supposition?
33:39it's done by herself
33:41we have just one day left before the trial
33:43you must grant me permission to visit her once more
33:47if ever in your life you showed your powers Holmes
33:51put them into this case
33:53now
33:56but I cannot promise you that my conclusions will be such as you desire
34:05come Watson
34:06come Watson
34:21we have several vital questions to ask this young lady
34:25and I must confess that the case would seem to be a very black one against her
34:29if it were not for one thing
34:30what is that?
34:31the finding of the pistol in her wardrobe
34:33that seems to be the most damning incident of all
34:36not so Watson
34:38it is my only firm ground for hope
34:41we must look for consistency
34:44where there is a want of it we must suspect deception
34:50come on Holmes
34:53yes
34:53Dunbar's depending on us
34:55Watson
34:57visualize yourself in the character of Miss Dunbar
35:00when a cold premeditated fashion is about to get rid of her rival
35:04what would be your actions and your thinking?
35:06well I've written a note
35:07the victim has come
35:10I've taken the weapon from the gun room
35:13the crime is done
35:15workmanlike and complete and now the weapon
35:19of course
35:21precisely Watson
35:22those depths would hide it forever
35:26your best friend would hardly call you a schemer
35:28yet I cannot picture you carrying it home
35:30and putting it in your wardrobe
35:31the very first place that would be searched
35:34this friend Valwa for example
35:35she disclaims all knowledge of it
35:37you're saying that he was placed in her wardrobe
35:38but by who?
35:39by someone who wished to incriminate her
35:41ah Cummings
35:51ah Miss Dunbar
35:52we have had lengthy conversations with Mr. Gibson
35:55and he has informed us
35:57of your relations with him
35:59and of your innocence in the matter
36:00but you need not pain yourself with that part of the story
36:03but we do need to know something
36:06of your feelings towards Mrs. Gibson
36:13I had no wish to wrong Mrs. Gibson
36:17but she loved her husband so vividly in a physical sense
36:22that she could hardly understand the mental
36:26even spiritual tie which held him to me
36:29or imagine that it was only my desire to influence his powerful good
36:34which kept me under his roof
36:37I can see now that I was wrong to stay
36:41nothing could have justified me in remaining where I was a cause of such unhappiness
36:47my client may be loath to mention it
36:50but she has managed to persuade Mr. Gibson to finance a mission of mercy to resettle tribes
36:55in particular the Bororo Indians
36:58who have fallen victim to unscrupulous gold and rubber prospectors
37:03the venture is thriving
37:04and we saw your pictures in the school room
37:08like so many of those warrior Indians
37:11Mr. Gibson can sometimes give people a misleading impression
37:15now Miss Dunbar
37:17would you tell us exactly what happened that evening
37:22I received a note from Mrs. Gibson in the morning
37:25it implored me to meet her at the bridge after dinner
37:29this note
37:31did you keep it?
37:32no, she asked me to destroy it
37:34and to hide my answer at the sundial in the garden
37:38I saw no reason for such secrecy
37:41but she was very much afraid of her husband
37:44who treated her with the harshness for which I frequently reproached him
37:48I can only imagine that she did not wish him to know of our interview
37:52yet she kept your reply very carefully
37:54yes, I was surprised to hear she had it in her hand when she died
37:58well what happened then?
38:01she was waiting for me
38:03so
38:05you have come
38:07never did I realize till that moment how much she hated me
38:10she was like a mad woman
38:16I think she was mad
38:18with the deep power of deception which insane people may have
38:22you're cruel
38:22you have no heart
38:24you don't know how to love, you have no passion
38:26how else could she have met me with unconcern every day
38:32you're standing there on the bridge
38:35shrieking her curses at me
38:37English whore
38:39I curse the day that you were born
38:46and yet
38:48presuming that you met her death shortly after you left
38:51you heard no shot
38:52no, I heard nothing
38:54I was so agitated and horrified by a terrible outbreak
38:58that I rushed to get back to the peace in my own room
39:01I was incapable of noticing anything that happened
39:06in your own room
39:07did you leave it again before the next morning?
39:11yes
39:12when they brought the poor creature back to the house
39:20did Mr. Gibson seem to you much perturbed?
39:24he is a very strong self-contained man
39:27I do not think he would ever show his emotions on the surface
39:30but you
39:32you
39:33who knew him so well
39:34yes, I could see that he was deeply concerned
39:41now
39:45we come to the all-important point
39:49this pistol that was found in your room, you've never seen it before
39:52never, I swear it
39:54when was it found?
39:56next morning when the police made their search
39:59yes, among your clothes
40:01yes, at the bottom of my wardrobe in one of the drawers
40:05you cannot guess how long it had been there
40:07it could not have been there the morning before
40:09because I tidied out the wardrobe
40:10so you're suggesting that someone came into your room
40:13and placed it there in order to incriminate you
40:18it must have been so
40:21when?
40:24um, where it could only have been at mealtime
40:27or else during the hours when I would be in the schoolroom with the children
40:30as you were when you received the note
40:33yes, from that time onward for the whole morning
40:36thank you, Mr. Bauer
40:41is there any other point which could help me in my investigation?
40:47I can think of none
40:51Holmes, might I have a word with you in private?
40:54forgive me, Mr. Bauer
41:11Holmes, I'd like to put you my case for believing that Mr. Gibson is the murder of his wife
41:16we have a man who by his own admission is used to breaking people who stand in his path
41:21well, his wife stood in his path, but then Miss Dunbar rejected him
41:24now what better than to kill the one and incriminate the other
41:32to kill the two birds with the one stone, so to speak
41:36you don't believe that Gibson's confession was sincere?
41:39wasn't it Bates who said he was plausible and cunning?
41:42his confession was a clever means to put us off the scent
41:45think of it like this
41:47he somehow discovers that his wife has arranged a meeting
41:49during the day he takes the two pistols from the box
41:53one he conceals in the jaw of her wardrobe
41:57after discharging one barrel
41:58which he could easily do in the woods without attracting attention
42:02he is alone all that evening
42:05he sees Miss Dunbar return and grasps his opportunity
42:09he commits the deed and flings the murder weapon far into the lake
42:20Holmes?
42:23Holmes!
42:25Oh, Watson
42:28I have been sluggish in mind
42:32and wanting in that mixture of imagination and reality
42:36which is the basis of my art
42:40you have put me entirely to shame
42:47you will be hearing from me, Mr Cummings
42:50for the hell of the god of justice and my colleague Dr Watson
42:53I will give you a case that would make England ring
42:56Mr Dunbar you have my assurance
42:58that the clouds are lifting
43:01and that the light of truth
43:03is breaking through
43:05confidence and confidence
43:09we need our good friend Sergeant Coventry
43:11a ball of stout twine
43:15and a grappling hook
43:17a grappling hook
43:27Watson, I have some recollection that you go armed
43:29on these little excursions of ours
43:31just as well for you that I do more than once
43:33my revolver has been a good friend to you
43:35and had little care of your own safety
43:38yes, I am inclined to be absent-minded in these matters
43:42do you have your revolver on you?
43:47hmm
43:49it's heavy
43:51remarkably heavy
43:52solid bit of work
43:53do you know, I believe this is going to have a very intimate connection
43:57with the mystery that we're investigating
43:59would you mind unloading it?
44:18will you be at home this evening, Mr Gibson?
44:21I should have some news for you
44:23you have half a day, Mr Holmes
44:49you have seen me miss my mark before, Watson
44:52I have an instinct for such things
44:54but it has sometimes played with four
44:56it's false
44:57we can but try
44:59we both stand exactly where the body lay
45:06your theory about the gold king
45:07though admirable in its psychology
45:09did not quite adhere to the facts
45:15visualize yourself
45:17in the character of a woman
45:20who in a cold premeditated fashion
45:23is about to get rid of a rival
45:25I mean, of course
45:28Mrs Maria Gibson
45:31for all your deductions about Gibson being the perpetrator of this crime
45:36substitute his wife
45:37imagine
45:38that it was she
45:40who took the pistols from the gunroom
45:43who fired the single shot in the woods
45:46and placed the gun in Miss Dunbar's wardrobe
45:52cold, crafty
45:55and then
45:55premeditated
45:57down to the last detail
46:01no, for it
46:12was it ever the more exact demonstration?
46:16my revolver, Holmes
46:22here
46:46I
46:47can
46:48come
46:48to the
47:13A vindictive woman.
47:17A creature of the tropics, passionate, ill-balanced, disguising her own crime and fastening a charge
47:25of murder upon an innocent victim.
48:11You have helped a remarkable woman, Holmes, and a formidable man.
48:16And if it seems not unlikely they should join forces?
48:20Naturally, I would wish them well.
48:24Magnanimous of you, Watson.
48:25I'll see you soon.
48:55I'll see you soon.
49:07I'll see you soon.
49:18I'll see you soon.
49:33I'll see you soon.
49:46I'll see you soon.
49:46I'll see you soon.
49:56I'll see you soon.
49:57I'll see you soon.
49:58I'll see you soon.
49:59I'll see you soon.
50:00I'll see you soon.
50:00I'll see you soon.
50:01I'll see you soon.
