00:08The End
01:47Oh, my dear, my dearest.
01:54I warned you, I said, do not go too near the edge.
02:01Why did you push me, Barry?
02:06Dear, why?
02:09You're dreaming.
02:11Oh, dying.
02:18Oh, my darling.
02:26Oh, my dear.
02:27Oh, my dear.
02:31Oh, my dear.
02:33Oh, my dear.
02:47Oh, my dear.
03:12Anything stirring, Hobbes?
03:15I know no more than this.
03:20It may be some fuzzy, self-important fool.
03:23It may be a matter of life or death.
03:26Will you grant this interview?
03:28I've already confirmed it.
03:30Do you know anything of the man?
03:31Only that the name Colonel Sir James Damery
03:33is a household word in society.
03:35I can tell you a little bit more than that.
03:38There's rather a reputation
03:39for arranging delicate matters
03:41which are to be kept out of the papers.
03:43He's a man of the world
03:44with a natural tone for diplomacy.
03:47I'm vying, therefore, to hope
03:49that it is not a false scent
03:51that he has some real need of our assistance.
03:57Our?
03:59If you will be so good, Watson.
04:01I shall be honored.
04:04Then until 4.30 o'clock
04:06we can put the matter out of our heads.
04:14Mr. Holmes,
04:15we are dealing on this occasion
04:17with the most dangerous man in Europe.
04:20I have had several opponents
04:21to whom that flattering term has been applied.
04:23A man to whom violence is familiar
04:25and who will literally stick at nothing.
04:29Did you smoke?
04:30Excuse my pipe.
04:32But if your man is more dangerous
04:33than the late Professor Moriarty,
04:35it's indeed worth meeting.
04:36May I ask his name?
04:37Have you ever heard of Baron Gruner?
04:41The Austrian murderer.
04:44So you've already sized him up as a murderer.
04:46Well, it is our business
04:47to follow the details of continental crime.
04:51I'm assured that he killed his wife
04:52when that so-called accident happened
04:54at the Splurgen Pass
04:55as if I'd seen him do it.
04:57Just as I am certain
04:58that he disposed of the only witness,
05:01that innocent Shepard boy.
05:03Baron Gruner is now in England.
05:06Residing near Kingston, I'm informed.
05:08That is so.
05:10Might I also suppose
05:11you will have heard of General Merville?
05:15Khyber Pass fame.
05:17Indeed.
05:20General Merville has a daughter, Violet.
05:23Young, rich, accomplished.
05:25A Wonder Woman in every way.
05:28It is she, an innocent,
05:30we are endeavouring to save
05:31from the clutches of this fiend.
05:34He has some hold over her?
05:35The strongest of all
05:37where women are concerned, Mr. Holmes.
05:39Ah.
05:40Love.
05:42Exactly.
05:46In marrying you, my darling,
05:48all my past sins shall be absolved.
05:52These aren't sins you've told me of.
05:54These are slanders.
05:56My angel.
05:58You were introduced
05:59as our old great man.
06:01Yet I am determined
06:03you shall know my history,
06:04every part of me.
06:05Thus shall I come to the altar
06:07purified in soul
06:08and spirit
06:09and worthy at last
06:11of your love.
06:13Just six weeks.
06:16Oh, ardle bird.
06:23I cannot pretend my past
06:24is without stain.
06:26No man born in poverty
06:28who has created his own fortune
06:30can say that and speak the truth,
06:31or not.
06:32I have been forced to many
06:34a ruthless act, my dear.
06:36Where should I begin?
06:39With young Heinrich of Saxe-Marc...
06:41to observe, Mr. Holmes,
06:43an atrocious event
06:44preparing itself
06:46before your very eyes
06:47and yet be powerless
06:48to avert it.
06:49Could anyone,
06:50any human being,
06:51be placed in a more
06:52trying position?
06:54Perhaps not.
06:55Well, then you will sympathize
06:56with the client
06:57in whose interest
06:58I am acting.
07:01I did not understand
07:02that you were merely
07:03an intermediary.
07:05Who is the principal?
07:07I beg of you
07:08not to press that question.
07:10His name cannot be
07:12dragged into this matter.
07:14His motives are,
07:15to the last degree,
07:16honourable,
07:16but he prefers
07:17to remain unknown.
07:18I need not say
07:19that your fees
07:20will be assured,
07:21Mr. Holmes.
07:26And you will be
07:27allowed a free hand.
07:31Surely the actual name
07:32for your client
07:33is immaterial.
07:35I must decline
07:35to act, Sir James.
07:36I'm sorry.
07:38I'm accustomed to having
07:39a mystery at one end
07:39of my cases,
07:40but having it at both ends
07:41is too confusing.
07:43No.
07:46You place me
07:47in the most serious dilemma.
07:50Dare I say, Mr. Holmes,
07:51you hardly realize
07:52the effect of your own action.
07:54I have given my word
07:56not to reveal
07:56the identity of my client.
07:59May I at the least
08:01lay all I can before you?
08:15It is understood.
08:17I commit myself
08:18to nothing.
08:19Of course.
08:20Yes, yes.
08:23A perfect likeness.
08:26Who painted it?
08:28Hans of Innsbruck.
08:30A descendant of Klaus,
08:31the sculptor famous
08:32for his bronzes.
08:33Such as this.
08:34I shall commission Hans
08:36to attempt your likeness,
08:39my precious.
08:41I love this room.
08:45It breathes of you.
08:54What's this?
08:57Your diary?
08:59No, no, no.
09:01It is, er...
09:02It is my commonplace book.
09:04In it, I record things
09:05I've seen, read, admired.
09:09Occasionally, perhaps,
09:10a thought or two of my own.
09:13But it's locked.
09:16It is a little part of me.
09:18Besides,
09:19a servant might pry.
09:22One day, perhaps,
09:26we shall look at it together.
09:28No.
09:30I respect your privacy,
09:31my darling.
09:33We must all keep
09:34something of our own,
09:36however much else we share.
09:37Yes.
09:40You
09:42are perfect.
09:46You must teach me
09:48about porcelain, Adelbert.
09:49I shall.
09:51Collecting is such a pleasure,
09:53such a delight.
09:54It is a passion with me,
09:56just as you are, my precious.
09:59The villain has attached himself
10:01to the lady
10:01with such effect
10:02that he has completely
10:04and absolutely
10:04won her heart.
10:06She will not hear
10:07one word against him.
10:08To sum up,
10:09she proposes to marry him
10:11next month.
10:12As she is of age
10:13and has a will of iron,
10:14it's hard to know
10:15how to prevent her.
10:19Does the infatuated
10:20young woman know
10:21of the Swiss episode?
10:22The cunning devil
10:23has told her
10:23every unsavory scandal
10:25of his past life,
10:26but always in such a way
10:27as to make himself out
10:28to be the innocent martyr.
10:31She accepts his version
10:32and will listen to no other,
10:34not even her father's.
10:36Dear me, Sir James,
10:37have you not
10:38inadvertently let out
10:39the name of your client?
10:41The general?
10:42Oh, no, Dr. Watson.
10:44That strong soldier's
10:45been utterly demoralized
10:46by this incident.
10:54Mrs. Hudson!
10:55You rank, sir?
10:57Will you deliver this
10:57to the butcher's boy
10:58round the corner?
10:59That young rascal
11:00with the funny eye?
11:01The other is invaluable,
11:02so is his bicycle.
11:04Sir.
11:13How may I keep
11:14in touch with you,
11:15Sir James?
11:16You accept my commission?
11:17Let us just say
11:18that your problem
11:20interests me.
11:21The carton club
11:22will find me.
11:23And the Baron's
11:24exact address in Kingston?
11:26Vernon Lodge.
11:27A large house.
11:28He's a rich man.
11:30Well, speculators
11:31when successful
11:31frequently are,
11:33Sir James.
11:33What further information
11:35can you give us
11:35about the man?
11:36He has expensive tests,
11:38collects books,
11:39pictures,
11:40oh, and Chinese pottery.
11:41He's a recognized authority.
11:44Written a book
11:44upon the subject.
11:45Well, Sir James,
11:46you may tell your client
11:47that I'm telling my attention
11:48towards Baron Gruner.
11:50I have no doubt,
11:51Mr. Holmes,
11:52you can easily trace
11:53my client.
11:54But I must ask you
11:56as a point of honor
11:56to refrain from doing so.
11:59Do not, I beg you,
12:00break in upon
12:01his incognito.
12:03I think I can safely
12:04promise that.
12:06Dr. Watson.
12:28You're wasting
12:29your time, Watson.
12:31Now, the career
12:31of General Merville
12:32might well give us
12:33a pointer as to our client.
12:34He's clearly illustrious.
12:36But did you not hear,
12:36Sir James?
12:37His request
12:38was to you, Holmes.
12:39That is shameful, Watson.
12:41Shameful.
12:42Besides, our minds
12:43should be more
12:44gainfully employed.
12:45Desist.
12:51Any views?
12:53Have you none?
12:54Not yet.
12:56Beyond the one
12:57I've already acted upon.
12:58The butcher's boy.
13:00More discreet
13:01than any telegraph.
13:04Well,
13:06I should think
13:07you'd better see
13:07the young lady herself.
13:09Start with her.
13:11If a poor
13:11broken-down father
13:12cannot move,
13:12how can I,
13:13a complete stranger,
13:14prevail?
13:15If all else fails,
13:17perhaps.
13:19But first,
13:21the underworld.
13:24For it is among
13:24the dark roots of crime
13:26that we must hunt
13:26for Gruner's secrets.
13:31You've sent for
13:32Shinwell Johnson.
13:34I have but one insight.
13:38that Miss Mirville
13:39might well condone murder,
13:41yet some
13:44smaller offense
13:45might reckon.
13:48We shall see.
13:54They have engaged
13:55their very best.
13:59So I mean.
14:06Mr. Sherlock Holmes, sir.
14:17I rather thought
14:18I should see you
14:20sooner or later,
14:21Mr. Holmes.
14:29You've been retained,
14:30no doubt,
14:31by General Mirville
14:32to prevent my marriage
14:33with his daughter,
14:34Violet.
14:38That is so,
14:39is it not?
14:46Let me advise you
14:47very strongly,
14:48Mr. Holmes,
14:48to draw off at once, sir.
14:50Draw off.
14:52My dear man,
14:53you'll only ruin
14:54your well-deserved
14:55reputation.
14:56This is not the case
14:56in which you can
14:57possibly hope
14:57to succeed.
14:58Draw off, sir.
15:00It is curious,
15:00but that is the very
15:01advice that I've
15:01come to give you.
15:04Let me put it
15:05to you man to man.
15:06If you persist
15:07in this marriage,
15:08you will raise
15:08such a swarm
15:09of powerful enemies.
15:11England will be
15:12too hot to hold you.
15:15Surely you'll be
15:16wiser to draw off.
15:22Excuse,
15:23excuse my amusement,
15:24Mr. Holmes,
15:25but it really is
15:25very funny
15:27seeing you trying
15:27to play a hand
15:28with no cards in it.
15:30Not a colour card there,
15:31sir, nothing but
15:32the smallest of the small.
15:33So you think.
15:34So I know, sir,
15:35so I know.
15:36Let me make the thing
15:36clear to you.
15:37You consider your hand
15:38so strong
15:39that you could afford
15:40to show it?
15:41Certainly,
15:41since it becomes plain
15:42that in this instance
15:43you are clearly
15:44out of your depth,
15:45Mr. Holmes.
15:46Could it be
15:47that your capabilities
15:48have been subject
15:49to hyperbole?
15:52Your hand
15:53is when I show it.
15:55Won't you sit down?
15:57I think I shan't.
16:01Please yourself.
16:07Well, sir,
16:09it happens
16:10I have been
16:11fortunate enough
16:13to win the entire
16:14affection
16:16of Miss Merville.
16:17This in spite
16:18of the fact
16:18that I have informed
16:19her clearly
16:21of all the
16:23unhappy
16:24incidents
16:25in my past.
16:27I have warned her
16:28that certain
16:29designing persons
16:30would come to her.
16:31I hope you recognize
16:32yourself in this
16:34and would tell her
16:35of these things.
16:39I have instructed
16:40her how to treat them.
16:43She is well prepared
16:44for you.
16:49She will no doubt
16:50give you an appointment
16:52and she will listen.
16:55It will be
16:56to no avail,
16:56however.
17:00if you wish
17:01to speak
17:02now
17:03is your moment.
17:06No.
17:08This is not
17:09the moment.
17:13Oh, by the way,
17:14Mr. Holmes,
17:16did you know
17:17the French
17:19agent Le Brun?
17:20Of course.
17:22So you know
17:22what befell him?
17:24He was beaten
17:25in the Mamat
17:26district of Paris
17:27and crippled for life.
17:28Quite so.
17:30By an odd
17:30coincidence,
17:31he had been
17:31inquiring
17:32into my affairs.
17:33Don't do it,
17:34Mr. Holmes.
17:34It's not a
17:36lucky thing.
17:37My last word
17:38to you is
17:39you go your way.
17:41Let me go mine.
17:45And mine to you,
17:45Gruner,
17:47is if you aspire
17:48to be accepted
17:48into English society,
17:49you'd do well
17:50to remove the band
17:51from your Havana
17:52before lighting it.
17:53Otherwise,
17:54you'll be put down
17:54for a bander.
18:11Oh, Mrs. Hudson,
18:13this home's returned.
18:14Not yet, sir,
18:14but there are
18:15two visitors waiting.
18:17Thank you,
18:17Mrs. Hudson.
18:19Thank you,
18:25why, Johnson.
18:26Evening, Doctor.
18:27Mr. Holmes sent word to me.
18:29I know, Johnson,
18:29I know.
18:30And I've brought Kitty
18:30here because...
18:31I was delayed
18:32at the museum
18:33and then the press
18:34of traffic
18:35and omnibus overturned
18:36in great Russell Street.
18:38Too dare
18:39a horse
18:39had to be put down.
18:40Gentlemen,
18:41forgive me,
18:41I was absorbed
18:42by the mysteries
18:43of Ming.
18:43I quite forgot
18:44the hour, madam.
18:47This is Miss Winter,
18:47Mr. Holmes.
18:48Kitty, we call her.
18:49And what you don't
18:50know about Gruner...
18:51Of course, please.
18:52Well, Kitty
18:53can speak for herself.
18:54Anyway,
18:55I'll put my hand
18:55right on her
18:55within an hour
18:56of your message, sir.
18:57I'm easy to find.
18:59Hell London
19:00gets me every time.
19:01Same address
19:02goes for Porky.
19:03Porky?
19:04Is that your
19:05undergar, Johnson?
19:07You've never
19:07revealed that.
19:08Porky!
19:10Oh, well.
19:11We're old mates,
19:12Porky and me.
19:14But there's someone
19:15who ought to be down
19:15in a lower hell
19:16than us.
19:17And that's the man
19:18you're after,
19:18Mr. Holmes.
19:19I gather we have
19:19your good wishes,
19:20Miss Winter.
19:21If I can help
19:21put him where he belongs,
19:23I'm yours
19:24to the rattle, sir.
19:26Do you know
19:26what he intends?
19:27How the matter stands?
19:29Porky tells me
19:30he's after
19:31some other poor fool.
19:32Only this time
19:33he wants to marry her.
19:35And you want to stop it?
19:36Yes.
19:38Surely you know
19:38enough about this devil
19:39to prevent any
19:40decent girl in her senses
19:41wanting to have anything
19:42to do with him.
19:43But she's not
19:44in her senses,
19:45Miss Winter.
19:45She's madly in love.
19:47And she has been
19:48told all about him.
19:49She cares for nothing.
19:51Told about the murder
19:52of his wife?
19:53Yes.
19:54My lord.
19:56She must have a nerve.
19:58She has.
19:59Can't you lay proofs
20:01before her?
20:02Can you help us do so?
20:03I am proof.
20:06Live in proof.
20:10If I was to stand
20:12before her
20:12and tell her
20:13how he used me,
20:14would you do this?
20:17Would I?
20:18Would I not?
20:20It might be worth
20:21the trying.
20:23Our lay didn't
20:24tell her all, sir.
20:27All?
20:30He collected me.
20:33He collects women.
20:36I was an artist model.
20:38A respectable artist model.
20:40Of course.
20:41You sat with that painting
20:42in his study.
20:42You've been to Kingston.
20:45Then you'll have seen
20:46all his crocs.
20:48Women and China.
20:50They're his twin passions.
20:53Gruner commissioned
20:54that painting.
20:55And afterwards...
20:58And after...
21:04Well...
21:05Let's just say
21:06I can never work again.
21:09Never.
21:10Never.
21:13Never.
21:14Never.
21:17I am
21:19exceedingly obliged
21:20to you,
21:21Miss Winter.
21:23We shall indeed
21:24interview
21:24Miss Murville together.
21:27My client
21:28will compensate
21:29you most liberally.
21:30Oh, none of that,
21:30Mr. Holmes.
21:31I'm not out for money.
21:34Just let me see
21:34this man in the mud.
21:36In the mud
21:37with my foot
21:38in his face.
21:39That's my price.
21:53Can we go off these stairs?
21:54Oh, thank you.
22:11From Kingston. Thank you Mrs. Hudson, no reply. Shall we dine?
22:22This is a death threat, Holmes.
22:24Do you expect anything less than the Baron Gooner?
22:27Holmes, have a care.
22:29Oh, Watson, come along. We must eat.
22:56Come on, Gil.
23:08Hey!
23:09Come on, Gil.
23:14Come on, Gil.
23:19Come on, Gil.
23:41They ain't following no more.
23:43Yeah, don't you believe it?
23:50Yeah, what did I say?
23:52Now, you stand over there, Kitty.
23:55There's a good girl.
23:56Right.
23:57Who's first?
23:59You?
24:00Or you?
24:04Come on, Gil!
24:05Oh!
24:15Oh!
24:20Oh!
24:23Oh!
24:25Oh!
24:26Oh!
24:26Oh.
24:39Oh, porky.
24:40Amateurs.
24:41Ain't done no time.
24:42Don't know nothing.
24:43Come on, girl.
25:26Come on, girl.
25:27It is the bond of your women who are in love.
25:36Madam, the cataract is this.
25:39It depends on my father.
25:42A cataract with the old man.
25:46Look at me.
25:50Look at me.
25:54Look at me.
25:57In Italy, 640.
26:03In Albania, 231.
26:12In Spain.
26:17In Spain.
26:21In Spain.
26:21In Spain.
26:27In Spain.
26:29At this country...
26:321,000, Valle di una...
26:341,000, Seredovich,
26:362,000, Seredovich...
26:502,000, Seredovich...
26:521,000, Seredovich and Seredovich.
26:54I couldn't in honesty term them gentleman, sir.
27:00I come.
27:18Was he armed?
27:22No, sir.
27:25Go through to the kitchens.
27:27Clean yourselves up and clear out.
27:55I have agreed to this visit out of respect for my father, Mr. Holmes, rather than for you.
28:00My fiancé assures me you are no longer what you were.
28:03A spent force.
28:06And you, Miss Winter?
28:08Surely you must also be superfluous.
28:12Our intentions are the best.
28:16We are here to aid you.
28:18Really?
28:19When you call to malign my fiancé.
28:22I am not renowned, Miss Merville, for the warmth of my affections.
28:26But I can appreciate them in others.
28:30Had I a daughter, I should, I hope, feel for you, as the general does.
28:35Nor is his concern without foundation.
28:37There.
28:39The slander begins.
28:41I do not readily call upon anyone to beg or to plead.
28:45But in Baron Gruner, please, I never speak idly.
28:47You have chosen not merely unwisely, but dangerously.
28:52Marry him, Miss Merville, and I assure you,
28:56with all the knowledge I have of the criminal mentality,
29:00you will be in mortal danger.
29:04Just as the former Baroness was, she too is infatuated.
29:08And paid the fatal price.
29:10Her life for a fortune.
29:12That's a lie.
29:18You are, of course, aware that the Splurgen Pass,
29:21where your predecessor died, runs between Italy and Switzerland.
29:28What does the geography matter?
29:29A great deal.
29:31When you plan to hurl a helpless woman off a cliff in one country
29:34to break her neck in another.
29:37But it was an accident.
29:39Then why did the shepherd boy, who saw the Baroness fall,
29:42die of arsenical poison?
29:45His murderess, whom Gruner had seduced,
29:49confessed at her trial that he had obliged her
29:51to administer the fatal substance or risk disfigurement for life.
29:55by oil of vitriol.
29:59Those are the facts, Miss Merville.
30:02I beg you.
30:04Picture the awful situation you will find yourself in
30:07if you only wake
30:09to your fiancé's true character
30:12after you have married him.
30:23I have listened to you with patience, Mr. Holmes.
30:27I am aware my fiancé has had a stormy life
30:31in which he has incurred most unjust aspersions.
30:36Possibly you mean well.
30:38Though I learn you are a paid agent.
30:42But in any case, I love Baron Gruner.
30:45And he loves me.
30:51You have told me this young lady's name
30:52and that there is a reason for her presence.
30:54I'll say there is.
30:56And what exactly are you, Miss Winter?
30:58Me?
31:00I'll tell you.
31:02I'll tell you what I am.
31:04I was his mistress, Satsu.
31:06One of a hundred.
31:08More.
31:09He's tempted, used, ruined and thrown aside as he will you too.
31:13Please.
31:14You marry this man.
31:16He'll be the death of you.
31:17There may be a broken heart or a broken neck, but he'll have you.
31:21Oh, really?
31:22You may think yourself different.
31:23Thank you, Kitty. You made yourself amably clear.
31:27I am aware of three occasions in my fiancé's life
31:29when he has become entangled with designing women.
31:33And I am assured by him of his hearty repentance.
31:36Him?
31:38Repent?
31:39And only three?
31:41Oh, you fool.
31:42You stupid fool.
31:45Mr. Holmes.
31:46I have obeyed my father's wish in seeing you.
31:49But I am not compelled to listen to the slanderous ravings.
31:53Ravings?
31:55Ravings?
31:58My God.
32:01I'll show you.
32:11Look.
32:14Look.
32:18See that?
32:21And here.
32:24Oil of vitriol.
32:26He did it.
32:29Oh, yes.
32:30He did it.
32:33Your fiancé.
32:34That's a lie.
32:37It's a lie.
32:38Thank you, Kitty.
32:47You can tell the baron that I shall not rest until I bring him to justice.
33:00Miss Winter!
33:16Why, Kitty?
33:17Why?
33:18Why?
33:19No, please.
33:19Why did the girl treat you so?
33:23Because...
33:24No, I can't tell you, Mr. Holmes.
33:26You must, this instance.
33:27You said that he collects women.
33:28What did you mean by that?
33:32It's a book he has.
33:34A book?
33:36Brown leather.
33:37With a lock.
33:39And his coat of arms in gold on it.
33:41No, I can't speak of it.
33:44He keeps a record of his women?
33:47We're all in there.
33:50Photographs.
33:51Names.
33:52Details.
33:53Everything about us.
33:56He tried to make me read it while he...
33:58Oh, no, I can't.
34:00And when he refused?
34:02He went berserk.
34:04He ran out of the room.
34:05I was trying to dress.
34:08He'd come back in with his bottle.
34:10I was half-naked.
34:13He threw it straight at me.
34:18Where is this book?
34:19I don't know.
34:20Think.
34:21No, no.
34:22In the study in the bedroom?
34:23It's more than a year since I was there.
34:25Then you can remember, Kitty. Think.
34:27In the study.
34:32Back of the bureau.
34:34Thank you, Kitty.
34:39Miss Winter's scars could not move Miss Merville.
34:42She was shocked, but recovered instantly.
34:45Good heavens.
34:47Seems inhuman.
34:49I confess that part of me could wish her joy with good on her.
34:52Abandon her to her faith?
34:54After all this?
34:55When I compare Miss Merville with Kitty, whose spirit is as fond as her body is blemished, yes.
34:59You wouldn't withdraw from the case.
35:02Have no fear, Watson.
35:04My disgust with Miss Merville counts as nothing against my determination to foil good on her.
35:09But one thing irks me.
35:11That I did not pay more regard to Kitty's deportment when we first met.
35:16The manner in which she dressed her hair.
35:18Oh.
35:19It's late.
35:22We must be gone.
35:23Oh.
35:27I've got a mountain of work to do at the surgery, Holmes, so I'll see you in the morning.
35:31Until tomorrow, then.
35:47All right, Sherlock Holmes, let's be having you.
35:50Ah, and I can guess to whom I owe this pleasure.
36:06You are working for me.
36:52THE END
37:14It's all right, Watson.
37:16Don't look so scared.
37:18What?
37:18You mustn't talk.
37:21Nonsense.
37:23Indeed, sir.
37:26What can I do, Holmes?
37:30Because it was that damned Austrian.
37:35Give me the word and I'll go and thrash the hide off him.
37:38Good old Watson.
37:40No, no, no, no.
37:43Was it the same pair that attacked Johnson and Miss Winter?
37:47One may have been.
37:49The other, I doubt it.
37:52But your thought alerts me.
37:56You must set a note to Johnson.
37:59Time to find some acquired suburb for Kitty.
38:02She should stay there until the danger is past.
38:08And then...
38:11Then we must exaggerate my injuries.
38:14There's no need for that.
38:16Even so, we must lay it on thick for the press.
38:20You may not live the week out.
38:22Concussion, delirium, coma, what you like.
38:27We must issue the gravest bulletins.
38:31Anything more?
38:32Yes.
38:35Put my pipe on the table from the tobacco slip.
38:40You must rest.
38:42Not smoke.
38:45Very well.
38:48Doctor.
39:08Oh, my dearest.
39:09Every day you become more precious to me.
39:17What is it?
39:19It's just that...
39:22Must you really go to America?
39:25Oh, my darling.
39:27It's only a short trip.
39:29I have important financial business.
39:32Certain interests to regulate in Chicago.
39:34But I shall be back so soon.
39:36In the twinkle of an eye.
39:38The late additions, sir.
39:42Have you seen the papers?
39:44That poor man Holmes.
39:47He sinks daily.
39:50I'm afraid you cannot expect me to have very much sympathy
39:52with Mr. Holmes and his misfortune.
39:57Ericepolis has set in.
40:02Have you seen the news?
40:04No.
40:05In the sales for America on the Royal Retainer on Friday.
40:08The news that he expired.
40:11Friday?
40:12That means he's still from Liverpool, not from Southampton.
40:15I believe the rascal means to get away from it.
40:18But he won't.
40:19Or the Lord Harry won't.
40:23Watson.
40:25I need you to do something for me.
40:27I'm here to be used.
40:30Then spend the next 24 hours in an intensive study of Chinese pottery.
41:11Oh, whoa.
41:1313, 68, 39.
41:15Oh, wow.
41:1613, 68, 39.
41:1713, 68, 39.
41:25You're looking for some other parts.
41:26Then put your stands in a hotel for the final hour.
41:33I'll take a sec, and do a sec.
41:34I'll take a sec.
41:35Okay.
41:40I'm going to have a sec.
41:42Let me see what you need.
41:42I'm going to have a sec.
41:45I can't follow my eyes.
41:46I will take a sec.
41:47I will not be who I have a sec.
42:19He's sleeping now, sir.
42:21That'd be the morphine.
42:23You won't let the lamp smoke, will you?
42:26No, no, no.
42:28You're locked up below.
42:29Oh, I did that a while back.
42:31Those murderous folk about.
42:33True.
42:34True.
42:36Don't drive yourself too hard, sir.
42:38You'll be good for nothing in the morning.
42:40No, I shall be long.
42:47Dr. Hill Barton, 369 Half Moon Street, Mayfair West.
42:51Who's this?
42:52You.
42:53Me?
42:54That is your name this evening, Dr. Hill Barton.
42:58That is?
42:59Yes.
42:59When you call upon Baron Grunner, about half past eight,
43:03you'll be disengaged.
43:05They've sent a note telling him that you'll call.
43:09Also that you're bringing this.
43:15It is the real eggshell of the Ming dynasty.
43:20The complete set would be worth a king's ransom.
43:24You are a collector.
43:25This set has come your way.
43:28We've heard of the Baron's interest.
43:30What of us to selling at a price?
43:33What price?
43:34Well, you're not exaggerating if you say
43:36it could hardly be matched in the world.
43:38Sir James got it for me.
43:39It comes from the collection of his client.
43:42Well, I could say that it should be valued by an expert.
43:45Oh, it wasn't.
43:46You scintillate today.
43:48I suggest Sotheby's, Christie.
43:51You're certain he'll see me?
43:53Oh, yes.
43:54It's the collection mania in its most acute form.
43:58One last question, Holmes.
44:01Why have you made me a broker in antiques?
44:03To gain time.
44:06The opportunity to acquire a set such as this
44:10may persuade the Baron
44:12to postpone his visit to the United States.
44:16Now I understand.
44:18Elementary psychologist, Watson.
44:36Kingston, please, driver.
44:51You know...
44:53Song Kwan.
45:01Forty...
45:03Forty-twenty-six.
45:14Very fine.
45:24Very fine, indeed.
45:32And you say you have a set
45:34to correspond?
45:42I know of only one in England
45:46to match it.
45:51Would it be
45:54indiscreet of me
45:56if I were to ask
45:57how you obtain this?
46:02Does it really matter?
46:06Of course it matters
46:07with precious objects
46:09such as these provenances all.
46:11Well, you can see the piece is genuine.
46:14As the value,
46:15I'm perfectly content
46:17to take an expert's assessment.
46:21I had supposed
46:22you were an expert,
46:23Dr. Hill Barton.
46:24I meant an independent assessment.
46:28Of course.
46:30Hmm.
46:33I have some recently acquired
46:35pieces of celadon
46:36you might care to view.
46:39By all means.
46:41Please.
46:49It's flawless.
46:52Typical 12th century
46:54a song, I'd say.
46:56Wouldn't you?
47:00You're right.
47:09And this?
47:39Typical of celadon,
47:41would you say?
47:41Give me time.
47:42Give me time.
47:43I am giving you time, sir.
47:46Quite so.
47:47I should also be interested
47:49in your views
47:50on the marks
47:51of the hung woo.
47:54The marks
47:54of the hung woo?
47:56That's a vexed question.
48:00A vexed question
48:01indeed, sir.
48:03There are no marks
48:04on the genuine hung woo.
48:06This is intolerable, sir.
48:08I came here
48:08to do you a favor
48:09not to be examined
48:10as if I were a schoolboy.
48:12You came here to spy.
48:13Not so.
48:15You may have found it easy
48:16to inveigle your way
48:18in here
48:18upon false pretenses,
48:20but,
48:21by God, sir,
48:23you shall find it
48:24harder
48:24to get out.
48:26Raise your hands
48:27above your head,
48:28Dr. Watson.
48:33What's that?
48:36Holmes!
48:37You!
48:39Donov!
48:43I shall shoot you
48:44through the head
48:46rather than the heart
48:49and then inform the police
48:52I mistook you
48:53for a common burglar.
48:55That is a role
48:56that I played before
48:57with some success.
48:59Without any doubt, sir,
49:02this
49:02will be your last time.
49:05Baron!
49:06Hit it!
49:10Then
49:11be done by
49:13as we did.
49:14Walter!
49:15Walter!
49:16Don't help!
49:17Don't help!
49:18Help me!
49:19Help me!
49:19Get more!
49:20Turn upon the barons!
49:21Oh!
49:22I see you!
49:23Don't stop!
49:25Let me make it!
49:26Oh!
49:27Oh!
49:27Help!
49:28Help!
49:33Help!
49:35Help!
49:36Help!
49:38Help!
49:47Help!
49:48Help!
49:48Help!
49:49Help!
49:49Ah, Sir James.
49:51Forgive me for summoning you
49:52at this late hour.
49:53But there's no time to be lost.
49:54You must have this
49:55before scumplet yard
49:57bumbles in. Scotland Yard? Baron Gruner is bound to have laid a complaint against us.
50:02Watson as an imposter, myself as a burglar. We were both. I diverted Gruner's
50:06attention while Holmes procured that. You must show it to Miss Merville. She will
50:11find herself one among a hundred. The account of what sports Baron Gruner
50:17enjoyed with his female victims may perhaps at last open Miss Merville's
50:22eyes. You've done wonders, Holmes. Wonders. Except for Kitty Winter. Watson, explain. I'm
50:30Mr. Rose. Miss Winter is a former mistress of Gruner's. She followed me to Kingston
50:35and concealed about her as a flask of vitriol. Which she unleashed upon Gruner. Severely
50:40damaging his right hand and parts of his face. He will be disfigured for life. But
50:48surely if these injuries are as terrible as you describe them, then our purpose
50:53is sufficiently gained. She would love him the more. As a disfigured martyr. No. It is his
51:00moral side, not his physical, which we have to destroy. That book will bring her down to
51:04earth. And I know nothing else that could. It's in his own handwriting. She cannot get
51:09past it. Neither my client nor myself can thank you enough, Holmes. Should either Miss Winter or
51:16even you yourself be incommodated by the police. Do not hesitate to telephone me. Thank you, Sir James,
51:22but to tell the truth, I rarely have ever found myself inconvenienced by Scotland Yard.
51:28Good night. Good night.
51:36I would like to thank you too, Watson. Thanks. Oh, by the way.
51:43Good night. How are you?
51:44dish.意思… admire the
51:47King's ransom, I understand. Sir Williamson
51:50writes a皆さん.
52:12Holmes!
52:15Holmes, I've discovered the identity of our client.
52:18It's none other than...
52:19A loyal friend and a chivalrous gentleman.
52:21Let that now and forever be enough for us.
