00:49ยถยถ
01:02ยถยถ
01:05And this is where the Prince is stable.
01:09Oh, Sir Robert.
01:11Sorry to disturb you.
01:13This is Joe Barnes.
01:16The Josiah's boy.
01:17I know who he is, Mason. What's he doing here?
01:20He's keen to race horses.
01:22I can ride Sir Robert.
01:24He'd like to be a jockey.
01:25Would you?
01:27More than anything in the world.
01:28Well, that's good.
01:30Very good. But what has it got to do with me?
01:33I thought I could work for you.
01:35I have all the jockeys I need.
01:39Please give me a chance, sir.
01:41I'll muck out the stables, clean the yard, anything you want.
01:47I'll think about it.
01:48Thank you, Sir Robert.
01:50Sir, at the house, you'd better come quick.
01:53Why?
01:54There's trouble, sir.
02:01I told you, Lady Beatrice is unwell and does not wish to be disturbed.
02:06I think she'll make an exception in my case.
02:08I'm sorry, sir.
02:11I have strict instructions.
02:14Are you going to let me speak to Lady Beatrice?
02:17Or will I have to use force?
02:22Your answer to me first, Brewer.
02:25This gentleman is most insistent upon speaking to her ladyship, sir.
02:34I warned you never to come here.
02:36Our business can be discussed at your office, not here.
02:39I've tried to settle this matter on many occasions, as you well know, Sir Robert.
02:43You've got a nerve coming here, after Newmarket.
02:46I'm leaving nothing to chance this time.
02:50Perhaps Lady Beatrice will be more prepared to listen to reason.
02:53Your grievance is with me, Brewer, and with no one else.
02:56It would certainly be of concern to Lady Beatrice.
03:02Robert, who are these people?
03:05What do they want?
03:07I'll tell you what I want, Lady Beatrice.
03:09Get him out of here.
03:10I want what's rightfully mine.
03:12Get out.
03:13Go.
03:15While you can still walk.
03:18I'll be back, Lady Beatrice.
03:20Good day to you.
03:32I'm sorry you've been upset, my dear.
03:34What did he mean, Robert?
03:36What's rightfully his?
03:38Nothing for you to worry about.
03:41But I do worry, Robert.
03:43I know you too well.
03:57He won't bother us again.
04:11What should we do if he does come back, sir?
04:14If he does come back, I'll deal with him myself.
04:39I know you're not much better.
04:39Look, it's not much better.
04:39Be part of the other.
04:39What can I do?
04:41You better go on.
04:41You better beware.
04:42I won't beware.
04:44I won't beware.
04:44I won't beware.
04:47I won't beware.
05:13I
05:15ought to I
05:16pay for it with about half my wound pension
05:19did I make you my
05:20handy guide to the turf
05:23what? does the name
05:24Sir Robert Norberton recall anything
05:26a little
05:29he's got a horse running
05:30in the Champion Stakes
05:32he lives at Shoscombe Hall
05:34his stables are known locally as Shoscombe Old Place
05:36but you don't know the man himself
05:38I never met him if that's what you mean
05:42he has a reputation
05:43for being rather a dangerous man
05:45how dangerous?
05:46I remember an incident some months ago
05:48when he horsewipped a man on Newmarket Heath
05:50Samuel Brewer the Cousin Street moneylender
05:52what was the reason for this assault?
05:55I imagine that Sir Robert
05:56had a grudge against moneylenders
05:58or as heavily in their debt
05:59by all accounts he's so far down Queer Street
06:02he may never find his way back again
06:03I received a letter from John Mason
06:07the head trainer at Shoscombe
06:08it arrived an hour ago
06:11dear Mr. Holmes
06:13you will no doubt have read of the
06:16disappearance a number of days ago
06:17of Samuel Brewer
06:19in the interests of my employer
06:21Sir Robert Norberton
06:22I should like to visit you
06:23to discuss a matter of the utmost urgency
06:26he suggests a convenient time
06:27it's not really several minutes late
06:30Samuel Brewer's disappeared
06:33the newspaper's make little of it
06:34but let's hear more about Shoscombe
06:36well the Shoscombe Spaniels
06:38special pride of the lady of Shoscombe place
06:40the wife of Sir Robert Norberton I presume
06:42no no he never married
06:44he lives with his widowed sister
06:47lady Beatrice Folder
06:49you mean she lives with him
06:50no no the place
06:51belonged to her late husband
06:53Sir James
06:55what should be a miss at Shoscombe
06:57what indeed
06:59and the head I expect is the man
07:00who can tell us
07:01yes
07:04my eggs were hard-boiled
07:07there's a Mr. Mason to see you sir
07:09thank you Mrs. Hudson
07:10show him in
07:11sir
07:18you got my note Mr. Holmes
07:20yeah
07:22but it explained nothing
07:24it was too delicate a thing for me
07:26to put the details on paper
07:28it's too complicated
07:30you may rely on the discretion
07:32of my friend and colleague Dr. Watson
07:33please sit down
07:35thank you
07:44Mr. Holmes
07:46I think Sir Robert Norberton
07:48has gone mad
07:49oh please
07:50this is Baker Street
07:51not Harley Street
07:52why do you say so
07:54I believe Shoscombe Prince
07:56and the champion stakes
07:57have turned his brain
08:00Shoscombe Prince
08:04Watson you're invaluable
08:06a horse
08:07the finest in England sir
08:09the truth is
08:10Sir Robert has got to win this race
08:13he's up to his neck
08:14and it's his last chance
08:16he's wagered everything
08:18he could raise or borrow
08:19on the horse
08:19and he's holding off
08:20his creditors
08:21till after the big race
08:23oh if the prince fails him
08:25he's done for
08:26and you're assuming
08:27there's a connection
08:28between Sir Robert's debts
08:30and the disappearance
08:31of Samuel Brewer
08:32he's Sir Robert's
08:33principal creditor
08:35and I don't mind admitting
08:37there's no love lost
08:38between them
08:39after what happened
08:40in Newmarket
08:41I'm not surprised
08:42that was just the start
08:45Brewer showed his face
08:46at the hall last week
08:47and Sir Robert
08:48flew at him
08:48like a man possessed
08:49said he'd deal with him
08:51if he ever showed
08:52his face there again
08:53well presumably
08:54he's not returned
08:55I don't know sir
08:57not for sure
08:59I see
09:00in the event
09:01of financial catastrophe
09:04would Sir Robert
09:05have any claim
09:05on his sister's estate
09:06none at all
09:07as far as I know
09:09she only has
09:10a life interest
09:11and it reverts
09:12to her husband's brother
09:13after her death
09:15in the meantime
09:16her ladyship
09:17draws the rents
09:18every year
09:19and her brother
09:20spends them
09:21that's about
09:22the size of it
09:23he must lead
09:24her a most
09:25uneasy life
09:26maybe so
09:28but they've always
09:28been the best
09:29of friends
09:30they have the same
09:31tastes
09:31she loves the horses
09:33as much as he does
09:36or at least
09:37she did
09:42every day
09:42at about twelve
09:43she'd ride down
09:44to the stables
09:44to see them
09:45and above all
09:47she loved the prince
09:53good morning Beatrice
09:59I can't wait
10:00to see their faces
10:00when this delightful
10:01creature is first
10:02past the pose
10:03what say you
10:03mason
10:04the others won't
10:05stand a chance sir
10:06a three length win
10:07wouldn't you say
10:08three and a half
10:09at least
10:11just beware of
10:12raising your hopes
10:13too high Robert
10:14you're not the only
10:16one who'd like to see
10:16his horse win
10:17the champion stakes
10:19I'm the only one
10:20with a horse like
10:21Shoscombe Prince
10:23why he's on such
10:24good form you could
10:25ride him to victory
10:25yourself my dear
10:26I think not Robert
10:29our riding days
10:30are over
10:47you should be resting
10:49my dear
10:51no I'm fine Robert
10:52really I'm fine
10:53you know what the
10:54doctor said
10:55fuss even more
10:57than he does
11:02Jasper good dog
11:06and how's Carrie
11:07today
11:09oh very well
11:11thank you sir
11:11Robert
11:20but for the past
11:21week her ladyship
11:21has driven past
11:22the stables
11:23with never so much
11:24as a good morning
11:26you think there's
11:27been some sort
11:28of quarrel
11:30and a bitter
11:31savage
11:31spiteful quarrel
11:32at that
11:33now he never
11:34goes near her
11:35she hardly
11:36leaves her room
11:38except to take
11:38her daily drive
11:39and I assume
11:40that you have
11:41witnessed such
11:41a disagreement
11:43no
11:44not exactly
11:46but why else
11:47would he give away
11:48her pet spaniel
11:49Mr. Holmes
11:50she loved that dog
11:51as if it were
11:52her child
11:55can you think
11:55of any reason
11:56why Sir Robert
11:58would wish
11:58to upset
11:59his sister
12:00in this fashion
12:01not at all
12:03it's a cruel
12:04way to treat
12:04a woman
12:04with a weak
12:05heart
12:06damn rotten
12:09I must say
12:10he does not
12:10appear to be
12:11committing
12:12any crime
12:12that I recognize
12:17so why did
12:18Sir Robert
12:18leave the house
12:19at the dead
12:19of night
12:21and who
12:21was the man
12:22he met
12:23gone
12:26well it was
12:27Stevens the
12:27butler who saw
12:28him leave
12:28and he told
12:29me about it
12:31so the next
12:32night
12:33we followed
12:34him
13:08so who was it
13:11Samuel Brewer
13:14it was too dark
13:15to see his face
13:17when did Sir Robert
13:18give away his
13:18sister's dog
13:19a week ago
13:20today
13:22Jasper was
13:23howling like a
13:24banshee at the
13:24millhouse
13:25but that was
13:26no good reason
13:27for the master
13:27to do what he
13:28did
13:40Sir Robert
13:41I wandered off
13:42this estate
13:44I don't care
13:45what you do
13:45with it
13:45just as long
13:46as I never
13:47have to see
13:47it again
13:50yes sir
13:53I gave the dog
13:54to Sandy Bain
13:55the prince's
13:56jockey
13:57right then
13:58Jasper
13:59let's you and I
14:00go for a drink
14:01eh
14:02come on
14:03next morning
14:04he took her
14:05to Josiah Barnes
14:06the landlord
14:06of the green
14:07dragon in Crandall
14:10does Lady Beatrice
14:11have a companion
14:12her maid
14:13Mr. Holmes
14:14just the one
14:15Carrie Evans
14:16she's been with her
14:17this five years
14:19and isn't it
14:19I've devoted
14:21she's devoted
14:22enough
14:22I won't say
14:24to whom
14:24uh-huh
14:27I can't tell
14:28tales out of school
14:31Sir Robert
14:31is something
14:32of a lady's man
14:33eh
14:35do you not think
14:36the quarrel between
14:36brother and sister
14:37may lie there
14:39that scandal
14:39has been pretty clear
14:40for a long time
14:41but Lady Beatrice
14:42may not have seen it
14:43before
14:43let us suppose
14:44that she has
14:45suddenly found it out
14:47that she wants to be
14:48rid of the hate it made
14:49he will not permit it
14:51she refuses to speak
14:52to him
14:52and Sir Robert
14:53in his anger
14:55gives away her doctor
14:56there's more to it
14:58than that
14:58Mr. Holmes
15:00Mr. Mason
15:01you have the advantage
15:03of us
15:06perhaps there is
15:07something
15:08that you have not
15:09told us
15:15there's a central
15:16heating furnace
15:16in the cellar
15:29it's been off
15:30for some time
15:30but Sir Robert
15:32complained of cold
15:33and had it on again
15:36Harvey runs it
15:36he's one of my lads
15:40he didn't like
15:41the look of it
15:42Mr. Holmes
15:45and he brought it
15:46to me last night
15:48how often does Harvey
15:49attend the furnace
15:51he makes it up
15:52every evening
15:53and then he leaves it
15:54so anyone can visit
15:55it during the night
15:57I suppose so
15:59but the lad
16:00has the key
16:00to the outer door
16:01I see
16:03what is the name
16:04of that
16:05tavern you spoke of
16:06Green Dragon
16:07is there any good
16:09fishing in that
16:09part of Berkshire
16:12there's trout
16:13in the mill stream
16:14and pike
16:15in the lake
16:16that's good enough
16:17what do you make
16:17of it Watson
16:18it's the upper
16:19condyle
16:20of a femur
16:31human
16:32without a doubt
16:46it's a bluff sir
16:49anyone could have
16:49sent it
16:50could be a tug
16:51I don't care
16:52who it is
16:54I need to know
16:54if there's any truth
16:55in what he's written
16:58Carrie will be in
16:59charge of the house
17:00when I'm away
17:03Carrie sir

17:05your concern
17:05must be
17:05for the prince's
17:06training
17:08nothing is more
17:09important than that
17:11fifty three
17:13fifty four
17:16fifty five
17:19yes ma'am
17:20thank you
17:21stevens
17:21please take the tray
17:22now
17:33I leave at dawn
17:43let's see
17:56come here
17:56let's go
17:57come here
17:57let's go
17:58let's go
17:59let's go
18:02let's go
18:03There you go.
18:48Two rooms, is it, then, sir?
18:49Two glasses of your best ale.
18:51Right, sir.
18:59Good day, gentlemen.
19:01Hello, old fellow.
19:03Oh, ladies, I'm so sorry.
19:04I just used to think I...
19:06Oh, that's quite a bite in the air, isn't it?
19:10Well, you'd much rather be free, wouldn't you?
19:13I'd love this man.
19:15Landlord!
19:16Is it really necessary to keep this dog tied up like this?
19:20If I didn't, sir, he'd be off back to the hall in a jiffy.
19:23You see, sir, Jasper's a Trostcombe spaniel.
19:25Oh, I should have known.
19:26You see, I'm quite a dog enthusiast myself.
19:30Oh, I'll be careful with that luggage or I'll skin you alive.
19:37Don't you mind him, sirs.
19:39He takes after his mother.
19:45Out for a bit of fishing, eh?
19:47We thought we might try and land a pike or two at the hall lake.
19:50And you might find yourselves in the lake before you were through.
19:56Why is that?
19:58Sir Robert's terrible jealous of anyone who might be spying on his stables.
20:02Well, we're not tauts.
20:03He's the sort that strikes first and speaks afterwards.
20:11I think we should take a little walk before lunch.
20:14Oh, that's a splendid idea.
20:21By all means, Edmund.
20:23But mind what I said about Sir Robert.
20:31It's this way, Watson.
20:54What about Sir Robert?
20:56By my estimate, he should be well on his way to York by now.
20:59How do you know that?
21:00That is where my telegram sent him.
21:02Holmes, what have you been up to?
21:04Of course, Palmer's the favourite.
21:06He's stabled somewhere near York.
21:08I merely advise him that the horse has shown much improvement in the last few days.
21:11He won't be pleased when he finds he's been doomed.
21:13I'm surely furious.
21:18Jasper, Jasper, come on, boy, hello, boy, how are you?
21:23Hey, hello, Jasper, here.
21:32Do I know you?
21:34No, but evidently Jasper knows you.
21:37You must be Sandy Bay.
21:40Yes, sir.
21:41It was you that brought Jasper to the tower last week.
21:44That's right.
21:46You're fond of animals.
21:48But they're all God's creatures, sir.
21:49I won't see no harm.
21:50Come to them?
21:51Mr. Mason seemed to think that Jasper had a lucky escape.
21:55He must have had a reason for behaving like you did.
21:57I'm sure Sir Robert had the best of motives.
22:00No, I'm talking about Jasper.
22:02He was always such a quiet dog.
22:05Something must have happened to him.
22:07At the mill house?
22:08No, sir.
22:09At the cellars?
22:10No, sir.
22:11At the old church.
22:13It was the same morning I brought him to the Green Dragon.
22:18It's an old ruined chapel.
22:20And under it there's a crypt which has a bad name among us.
22:28Jasper!
22:31Not that way!
22:33Jasper!
22:34Jasper, come back!
22:42Jasper!
22:45Jasper!
22:48Jasper!
22:49Jasper!
22:51Jasper!
22:53Jasper!
22:56Jasper!
22:57Jasper!
22:57Jasper!
22:57Jasper!
22:58Jasper!
23:07Yes, bro, come on boy, I'm not playing games now
23:34Jasper
24:16How far are we away from the hall?
24:19About a quarter of a mile, sir
24:21I am correct in thinking that Lady Beatrice takes a drive about midday
24:26Yes, sir
24:27Thank you, we've got a moment to lose
24:29Come Jasper, come Watson
24:31Goodbye, darling
25:15Stop the carriage, Watson, stop the carriage
25:23Excuse me
25:29Direct us to the Green Dragon Tower
25:37Drive on! Drive on!
25:42Stay! Stay there! Stay there!
26:03There's nothing we can do until Lady Beatrice takes a drive again tomorrow
26:07You still haven't explained why I risked my life this afternoon
26:10It's just a theory
26:11You must be very disappointed I was almost killed instead
26:14On the contrary, I think my little experiment was quite successful
26:17I failed to see how
26:19Dog, Watson
26:21The dog
26:23Does that suggest nothing to you?
26:26Well, Carrie Evans is determined to keep the dog and her mistress apart
26:30There is an alternative
26:32Yes, that Sir Robert has done away with the moneylender Samuel Brewer
26:36Don't forget...
26:38Don't forget the human bone that was found
26:42It's perfectly clear to me
26:44They've crossed swords before
26:45It's possible that Sir Robert has gone too far this time and is guilty of murder
26:49What the boy...
26:52What the boy found is all that remains of the unfortunate moneylender
26:56No, no, no, no, thank you. I'm famished
27:01Why didn't you catch, Mr. Holmes?
27:05The best I've seen in a long time
27:11These are deep waters, Watson
27:15Deep and rather dirty
27:21I would like to borrow the key to the cellar
27:23For what purpose, Mr. Holmes?
27:25To get inside
27:28Where is Sir Robert?
27:29Sir Robert left for York
27:31Ah
27:31Early yesterday morning
27:33He isn't expected back till sometime tonight
27:36I'll show you around the house myself
27:38But...
27:39Master left Carrie in charge
27:41And she won't let anyone pass the door
27:43You left a maid in charge of the house?
27:45I told you things were bad between Master and her ladyship
27:50Whereabouts is little bitters' room?
27:52It's on the ground floor, Mr. Holmes
27:54On account of our ladyship's heart
27:56Precisely on the ground floor, where?
27:58It's the second room in the corridor beside the cellar passageway
28:03Has there been any change in the running of the house since we spoke at Baker Street?
28:07None that I can think of
28:09Yeah, apart from the fact that I had to dismiss Harvey, one of my stable lads
28:12Wasn't he the one that found the bone in the furnace?
28:15That's right
28:16What was the reason for his dismissal?
28:18Well, he'd stolen some money from some of the other staff, you see
28:23Ah
28:24Here's the Prince himself, Mr. Holmes
28:32Every injured champion, wouldn't you say?
28:34Yes, he's a very fine creature, but you're the expert, Watson
28:38Well, hardly an expert, Holmes
28:40I am aware of the Prince's burst of speed over a final furlong
28:44But the fact is, he hasn't yet won a major race
28:48Do you think he's still in with a good chance?
28:50If this give him the ground, then yes
28:52Huh
28:54Huh
28:55Huh
29:29All right, all right, hold your horses, I'm coming, I'm coming
29:36Good afternoon
29:38You must be Stevens
29:41That's right, sir
29:42I'm the doctor
29:45Sir Robert asked me to call on his sister at the first opportunity
29:48I'm new to the area
29:49He said nothing about it to me, sir
29:51Well, he must have forgotten
29:53Hardly surprising for a man as busy as Sir Robert
29:55I'm afraid her ladyship is out taking her carriage exercise at the moment
30:00How long is she likely to be?
30:02Well, no more than half an hour, sir
30:05In that case, I don't mind waiting
30:13You appear to be in some pain yourself
30:15Oh, it's the rheumatist, sir
30:19These old bones have taken a pounding in their time
30:22Health's not what it was
30:24Now, why didn't you tell me about it?
30:26Beg pardon, sir
30:27Well, now that I'm here, I might as well make myself useful
30:31Oh, that's very kind of you, sir
30:33Thank you
30:34Well, it starts in the bottom of my wrist
30:38And then it goes up
30:40In the shoulder
30:41Yeah, it's right
31:09Yeah, it's right
31:19Oh, it's okay
31:24That you wanna meet?
31:25Okay, so...
31:32I need to lift this up
31:32That it fits, but...
31:34And the battery can't be done
31:34It's a little bit too
31:39I don't feel like I'm not afraid
31:39The battery can't be done
31:46S.B.
32:02Of course the worst time is first thing in the morning.
32:06My back and my legs.
32:08Oh, stiff as a board.
32:13And my feet.
32:15Did I tell you about my feet?
32:18No.
32:19Oh, I'll tell you about my feet.
32:21Blocks of ice. Like blocks of ice.
32:25Can't feel them sometimes.
32:26Your blood's not circulating properly.
32:29It's a common problem.
32:31And then...
32:33Then there's the other trouble.
32:38The other trouble.
32:41No, the other trouble.
32:44...
32:50...
34:03I've tried everything, but it doesn't make any difference at all.
34:08I'm in just as much agony now as I ever was.
34:27Roll it right up.
34:30Oh, that'll be her leadership.
34:33She's back early.
34:36Please excuse me, but I'm afraid I have another urgent appointment.
34:40Thanks.
34:41Thanks.
34:44Thanks.
34:56Thanks.
34:58Thanks.
35:12Thanks.
35:12Almost there, my lady.
35:14Thank you, Stevens.
35:15We'll be all right now.
35:18Thank you, Stevens.
35:22Aren't you all, miss?
35:49Aren't you all, miss?
35:55Holmes, thank goodness.
35:57Fortunately, the bedroom was on the ground floor.
35:59Didn't you have any luck?
36:00Few things are still unclear, but before the night is out, I hope to have solved the mystery
36:04of Shoscombe old place.
36:23If Samuel Brewer returned to the hall to demand his money, he might have done so at night.
36:28He could have been the man that Sir Robert met at the old church.
36:35That Sir Robert flew into one of his rages and killed him.
36:40And in a moment of sheer panic, tried to dispose of the body by putting it into the furnace.
36:46Hence the note case.
36:49Listen, the vibrations!
36:54If perhaps maybe amid all the evidence we have so far is purely circumstantial.
36:59Oh.
37:00Oh.
37:00Oh.
37:01Hmm.
37:27Resin.
37:29Resin.
37:37Resin.
37:38On an alcohol base.
37:42Traces of it on a few strands of hair found in Lady Beatrice's room.
37:51Come, Watson.
37:52The telegram will not keep Sir Robert away much longer.
37:55Where are we going?
38:12Sir Robert.
38:20What happened while I was away?
38:24Nothing, sir.
38:24Don't lie to me, Mason.
38:26Something's been going on behind my back.
38:33Has anyone been around here asking questions?
38:35No one, sir.
38:40Apart from some people I met near Crendel.
38:45I don't know their names.
38:47What did you talk about?
38:50Nothing much.
38:51They were interested in the old church.
38:56Fool!
39:06If Samuel Brewer was not the victim, why was his note case found in the cellar at the hall?
39:13Who else in the household has the initials S.B.
39:16S.B.
39:18S.B.
39:18S.B.
39:19Sandy Bay!
39:22Harvey was dismissed for stealing from other members of the household.
39:29One of his duties was to attend to the furnace in the cellar.
39:32The fact remains that a body was burned.
39:34If it wasn't Brewer's, then whose was it?
40:02There was no one in there.
40:03And there's no one in there.
40:03It was no jurisdiction.
40:08There was no one in there.
40:10There was no one who was invading,
40:11You know?
40:17It was no one who was invading.
40:22I thought he was invading.
41:15What could you possibly look to find in a place like this?
41:21The lead lining has been cut.
41:36Just as I thought, the bolts have been loosened.
41:45Watson, I'm going to need your help to open this.
41:48Holmes, that's desecration.
42:19Holmes, who are you?
42:20Holmes, who are you?
42:21What are you doing on my property?
42:24Are you here?
42:25Who are you?
42:26What are you doing here?
42:27All right.
42:32Huh!
42:35I'm here.
42:35You're here.
42:36You're here.
42:36I'm here.
42:36Oh, thank you.
42:45I'm here.
42:51Oh, thank you.
43:05Mr. Holmes, what happened?
43:07A good question, Mr. Mason. One that you've directed at Sir Robert.
43:14Disgusting contraptions.
43:18How dare you get out!
43:20I was going to join you for tea, but I see I'm too late.
43:24Get up this instant, or I'll call for Sir Robert.
43:26Sir Robert knows that I'm here. Please, Miss Evans, will you sit down?
43:33I've heard I couldn't visit Shotsky World Place without paying my respects to Lady Beatrice.
43:41Are you a brandy with your tea?
43:45For medicinal purposes, of course.
43:50But is that enough, I wonder?
43:53Enough for what?
43:55Brandy revives the spirits, but...
43:58How do you think it is sufficient to raise the dead?
44:03Don't move, Miss Evans.
44:29Don't move, Miss Evans.
44:51That should be comfortable enough until your own doctor arrives.
44:57I am Sherlock Holmes. Perhaps my name is familiar to you.
45:02I know appearances are against me, but you must believe that I could act in no other way.
45:08I'm very happy to hear you say so.
45:10But I fear your explanations must be for the police.
45:15Police, Sir Robert.
45:16The responsibility for what has been done is entirely mine.
45:20Miss Evans and Joe Barnes were merely following my instructions.
45:24You must promise that they will come to no harm.
45:26I can promise you nothing.
45:29But I will hear a plain statement of the facts.
45:33Very well.
45:35You've clearly gone pretty deeply into my affairs.
45:38Otherwise, I should not have found you where I did.
45:42I've always known that if Beatrice died, the estate would revert to my brother-in-law's family.
45:49Everything would be seized, including the stables and the horses.
45:56Well, Mr. Holmes, my sister did die just a week ago.
46:01And you told no one.
46:03I had little alternative.
46:04If I told the truth, I faced absolute ruin.
46:07But if I could stave things off until the race, I knew all might be well.
46:15Beatrice died of the heart condition that had long afflicted her.
46:19That will be for a coroner to decide.
46:22Her own doctor would certify that for months her symptoms had threatened such an end.
46:29Joe Barnes came to see me in search of work a day or two before Beatrice died.
46:36He seemed a trustworthy lad, and it came into my mind that he might, for a short time, impersonate my
46:44dear sister.
46:46It was but a case of appearing daily in her carriage, for no one need enter her room, save Miss
46:51Evans.
46:52Of course, I had to take her into my confidence.
46:57The whole deception distressed me greatly.
47:00But I could see no other course to take.
47:03Naturally, the body couldn't remain in the bedroom.
47:09On the first night, Joe and I carried it out to the old mill house.
47:14We were followed by her pet spaniel, which afterwards howled continually at the door.
47:21So I felt some safer place was needed.
47:28I got rid of the dog, and we carried Beatrice to the crypt of the church.
47:35It seemed to me to be no unworthy resting place if we put her for a time in the coffin
47:40of one of her husband's ancestors,
47:43lying in what is still consecrated ground.
47:47I paid my respects to her there every day.
47:49I'm afraid not.
47:54I left my place as a car.
47:56I left my aire.
47:56I was to be with my child.
48:07Here, Brother!
48:13You should keep standing in the bedroom, and you're forgetting to be your child.
48:14Come in, you should be your child.
48:15I need to be with you.
48:18Oh, my God.
48:45as to the old relics which we took from the coffin
48:48joe and i removed them he descended from the bedroom at night and burned them in the furnace
49:00was it necessary to lay that monstrous trap i was determined that no one should disturb my
49:06sister's rest but how you suspected her death i cannot imagine well yesterday when miss evans
49:15ordered the carriage to drive on i concluded that she was afraid of something i suspected
49:20that something was jasper miss evans knew the dogs do not make mistakes he would have known
49:29that it wasn't his mistress but we must leave all this for the police but why a day or two
49:36is all i need say nothing yet i beg of you the race will have been run and my nightmare
49:44might
49:44be over i loved beatrice with all my heart there was no indignity or irreverence i don't feel i have
49:53wronged the dead i realized that my motives were selfish but my sister would not have wished to see
50:11me destroyed
50:12that does not entitle you to break the law
50:26listen to this holmes following the success of shoscombe prince in yesterday's champion stakes
50:33sir robert has received sufficient winnings to settle all his debts with enough left to reestablish him in a fair
50:42position in life
50:43ah however the victory was marred by the sudden death of sir robert's sister lady beatrice folder
50:54whose love of horses was at least as great as his own
51:03even the elusive samuel brewer has returned from his hideaway in france to send a telegram of
51:09congratulations to sir robert on his whim it transpires that even creditors have their creditors
51:16it explains why samuel brewer was so anxious to get his money back but to send a telegram
51:22such barefaced hypocrisy so how much did you win on shoscombe prince
51:3020 guineas it's disgraceful
51:38champagne mrs hudson
51:39of course in the circumstances
51:43well it's very good of you but i've only won 20 guineas
51:46plus my 10
51:49you're not the only one that likes a plunge on the horses from time to time doctor
51:53oh
51:56well
52:00well
52:01well
52:01yeah
52:04well
