00:08The End
01:49Oh, my dear, my dearest, I warned you, I said, do not go too near the edge.
02:01Why did you push me, Barry?
02:06To your wife.
02:09You're dreaming.
02:11Oh, dying.
02:18Oh, my darling.
02:26Oh, my dear.
02:27Oh, my dear.
02:32Oh, my dear.
03:12Anything stirring, Hobbs?
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 Damewey is a household word in society.
03:35I can tell you a little bit more than that.
03:38There's rather a reputation for arranging delicate matters which are to be kept out of the papers.
03:43He's a man of the world with a natural tone for diplomacy.
03:47I'm bound, therefore, to hope that 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 honoured.
04:05Then until 4.30 o'clock, we can put the matter out of our heads.
04:14Mr. Holmes, we are dealing on this occasion with the most dangerous man in Europe.
04:20I have had several opponents to whom that flattering term has been applied.
04:23A man to whom violence is familiar and who will literally stick at nothing.
04:28No.
04:29Don't you smoke?
04:30Excuse my pipe.
04:32If your man is more dangerous than the late Professor Moriarty, it is 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.
04:47It is our business to follow the details of continental crime.
04:51I'm as sure that he killed his wife when that so-called accident happened at the Splurgen Pass as if
04:55I'd seen him do it.
04:57Just as I am certain that he disposed of the only witness, that 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 you 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, we are endeavouring to save from the clutches of this fiend.
05:34He has some hold over her.
05:35The strongest of all where women are concerned, Mr. Holmes.
05:39Ah.
05:41Love.
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 reduced,
05:59as are all great men.
06:01Yet I am determined you shall know my history,
06:04every part of me.
06:05Thus shall I come to the altar purified in soul and spirit,
06:09and worthy at last of your love.
06:13Just six weeks.
06:16Oh, Ardlebird.
06:22I cannot pretend my past is without stain.
06:26No man born in poverty who has created his own fortune can say that and speak the truth, or not.
06:32I have been forced to many a ruthless act, my dear.
06:41To observe, Mr. Holmes,
06:43an atrocious event,
06:45preparing itself before your very eyes,
06:47and yet be powerless to avert it.
06:49Could anyone,
06:50any human being,
06:51be placed in a more trying position?
06:53Perhaps not.
06:55Well, then you will sympathize with the client in whose interest I am acting.
07:01I did not understand that you were merely an intermediary.
07:05Who is the principal?
07:07I beg of you not to press that question.
07:11His name cannot be dragged into this matter.
07:14His motives are, to the last degree, honorable,
07:16but he prefers to remain unknown.
07:19I need not say that your fees will be assured, Mr. Holmes.
07:26And you will be allowed a free hand.
07:31Surely the actual name for your client is immaterial.
07:35I must decline to act, sir, James.
07:37I'm sorry.
07:38I'm accustomed to having a mystery of one end of my cases,
07:40but having to both ends is too confusing.
07:43No.
07:46You place me in the most serious dilemma.
07:50Dare I say, Mr. Holmes,
07:51you hardly realize the effect of your own action.
07:54I have given my word not to reveal the identity of my client.
07:59May I at the least lay all I can before you?
08:15It is understood.
08:17I commit myself to 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 for his bronzes,
08:33such as this.
08:34I shall commission Hans to
08:37attempt 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, uh...
09:03It is my commonplace book.
09:04In it I record things I've
09:06seen,
09:07read,
09:08admired,
09:08and occasionally 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,
09:25we shall look at it together.
09:28No.
09:30I respect your privacy, my darling.
09:33We must all keep something of our own,
09:36however much else we share.
09:42We must teach me about porcelain,
09:49Adelbert.
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 to the lady with such effect that he has completely and absolutely
10:05won her heart.
10:06She will not hear one word against him.
10:09To sum up,
10:10she proposes to marry him next month.
10:12As she is of age and has a will of iron,
10:14it's hard to know how to prevent her.
10:19Does the infatuated young woman know of the Swiss episode?
10:22The cunning devil has told her every unsavory scandal of his past life.
10:26But always in such a way as to make himself out to be the innocent martyr.
10:31She accepts his version and will listen to no other.
10:34Not even her father's.
10:36Dear me, Sir James,
10:37have you not inadvertently let out the name of your client?
10:40The general?
10:42Oh no, Dr. Watson.
10:44That strong soldier's been utterly demoralized by this incident.
10:54Mrs. Hudson!
10:55You rang, sir?
10:57Will you deliver this to the butcher's boy around the corner?
10:59That young rascal with the funny eye?
11:01The other is invaluable, so is his bicycle.
11:04Sir.
11:13How may I keep in touch with you, Sir James?
11:16You accept my commission?
11:17Let us just say that your problem interests me.
11:21The Carton Club will find me.
11:23And the Baron's exact address in Kingston?
11:26Vernon Lodge.
11:27A large house.
11:28He's a rich man.
11:30Well, speculators, when successful,
11:32frequently asked, Sir James.
11:33What further information can you give us about the man?
11:36He has expensive tests.
11:38Collected books, pictures.
11:39Oh, and Chinese pottery.
11:42He's a recognized authority.
11:44Written a book upon the subject.
11:46Well, Sir James, you may tell your client
11:47that I'm turning my attention towards Baron Gruner.
11:50I have no doubt, Mr. Holmes,
11:52you can easily trace my client.
11:54But I must ask you, as a point of honor,
11:57to refrain from doing so.
11:59Do not, I beg you...
12:00I think I can safely promise that.
12:03Dr. Watson.
12:25You're wasting your time, Watson.
12:28Now, the career of General Merville
12:29might well give us a pointer as to our client.
12:31He's clearly illustrious.
12:33But did you not hear, Sir James?
12:34His request was to you, Holmes.
12:36But that is shameful, Watson.
12:38Shameful!
12:39Besides, our minds should be more gainfully employed.
12:42Desist.
12:43Desist.
12:48Any views?
12:50Have you none?
12:51Not yet.
12:53Beyond the one I've already acted upon.
12:55The butcher's boy.
12:57More discreet than any telegraph.
13:01Well,
13:03I just think you'd better see the young lady herself.
13:06Start with her.
13:08If a poor brigandone father cannot move,
13:10how can I, a complete stranger, prevail?
13:11Well, if all else fails...
13:14Perhaps.
13:16But first,
13:18the underworld.
13:20For it is among the dark roots of crime
13:23that we must hunt for Grimler's secrets.
13:28You've sent for Shinwell Johnson.
13:31I have but one insight.
13:35That Miss Merville might well condone murder.
13:37Yet some...
13:41smaller defense might rancorn.
13:45We shall see.
13:50They have engaged the very best.
13:55Swim in.
14:03Mr. Sherlock Holmes, sir.
14:14I rather thought I should see you
14:17sooner or later,
14:19Mr. Holmes.
14:26You've been retained, no doubt,
14:28by General Merville
14:29to prevent my marriage
14:30with his daughter, Violet.
14:35That is so,
14:36is it not?
14:43Let me advise you
14:44very strongly, Mr. Holmes,
14:46to draw off at once, sir.
14:47Draw off.
14:49My dear man,
14:50you'll only ruin
14:51your well-deserved reputation.
14:53This is not the case
14:53in which you can possibly hope
14:55to succeed.
14:55Draw off, sir.
14:57It is curious,
14:57but that is the very advice
14:58that I've come to give you.
15:01Let me put it to you
15:02man to man.
15:03If you persist
15:04in this marriage,
15:05you will raise such a swarm
15:06of powerful enemies.
15:08England will be too hot
15:09to hold you.
15:12Surely you'll be wiser
15:13to draw off.
15:19Excuse,
15:20excuse my amusement,
15:21Mr. Holmes,
15:22but it really is very funny
15:24seeing you trying to play
15:25a hand with no cards in it.
15:27Not a colour card there, sir,
15:28nothing but the smallest
15:29of the small.
15:30So you think.
15:31So I know, sir,
15:32so I know.
15:33Let me make the thing
15:33clear to you.
15:34You consider your hand
15:35so strong
15:36that you could afford
15:37to show it?
15:38Certainly,
15:38since it becomes plain
15:39that in this instance
15:40you are clearly
15:41out of your depth,
15:42Mr. Holmes,
15:43could it be
15:44that your capabilities
15:45have been subject
15:46to hyperbole?
15:49Your hand is when I show it.
15:52Won't you sit down?
15:54I think I shan't.
15:58Please yourself.
16:04Well, sir,
16:06it happens
16:07I have been fortunate enough
16:10to win the entire affection
16:13of Miss Merville.
16:14This in spite of the fact
16:15that I have informed her
16:16clearly
16:18of all the
16:20unhappy
16:21incidents
16:22in my past.
16:24I have warned her
16:25that certain
16:26designing persons
16:27would come to her.
16:28I hope you recognize
16:30yourself in this
16:31and would tell her
16:32of these things.
16:36I have instructed her
16:37how to treat them.
16:40She is well prepared
16:41for you.
16:46She will no doubt
16:47give you an appointment
16:49and she will listen.
16:52it will be
16:53to no avail,
16:54however.
16:57If you wish to speak,
16:59now is your moment.
17:03No.
17:05This is not the moment.
17:10Oh, by the way,
17:11Mr. Holmes,
17:13did you know
17:14the French agent
17:16Le Brun?
17:17Of course.
17:19So you know
17:19what befell him?
17:21He was beaten
17:22in the Marmarte
17:23district of Paris
17:24and crippled for life.
17:26Quite so.
17:27By an odd coincidence,
17:28he had been inquiring
17:29into my affairs.
17:30Don't do it,
17:31Mr. Holmes.
17:31It's not a
17:33lucky thing.
17:34My last word to you
17:35is
17:36you go your way.
17:38Let me go mine.
17:42Mine to you,
17:43Gruner,
17:44is if you aspire
17:45to be accepted
17:45into English society,
17:47you'd do well
17:47to remove the band
17:48from your Havana
17:49before lighting it.
17:50Otherwise,
17:51you'll be put down
17:51for a bander.
18:08Now,
18:09Mrs. Hudson,
18:10Holmes return.
18:11Not yet, sir,
18:11but there are two
18:12visitors waiting.
18:14Thank you,
18:15Mrs. Hudson.
18:23Why, Johnson...
18:23Evening, Doctor.
18:24Mr. Holmes sent word to me.
18:26I know, Johnson,
18:26I know.
18:27And I've brought
18:27Kit here because...
18:28That's when I was
18:28delayed at the museum
18:30and then the press
18:31of traffic
18:32and omnibus overturned
18:33in great Russell Street.
18:35Too dead,
18:36a horse had to be
18:37put down.
18:37Gentlemen,
18:38forgive me,
18:38I was absorbed
18:39by the mysteries of Ming.
18:40I quite forgot
18:41what they are, madam.
18:43This is Miss Winter,
18:45Mr. Holmes.
18:45Kitty, we call her.
18:46And what you don't know
18:47about Grunet.
18:48Of course, please.
18:49Well, Kitty can speak
18:50for herself.
18:51Anyway,
18:52I'll put me hand
18:52right on her
18:53within an hour
18:53of your message, sir.
18:54I'm easy to find.
18:56Hail London
18:57gets me every time.
18:58Same address
18:59goes for Porky.
19:00Porky?
19:01Is that your
19:02undergar, Johnson?
19:04You've never
19:04revealed that.
19:06Porky?
19:07Oh, well.
19:08We're old mates,
19:09Porky and me.
19:11But there's someone
19:12who ought to be down
19:12in a lower hell than us.
19:14And that's the man
19:15you're after, Mr. Holmes.
19:16I gather we have
19:16your good wishes, Miss Winter.
19:18If I can help
19:18put him where he belongs,
19:20I'm yours to the rattle, sir.
19:23Do you know what he intends?
19:24How the matter stands?
19:26Porky tells me
19:27he's after some other
19:28poor fool.
19:30Only this time
19:30he wants to marry her.
19:32And you want to stop it?
19:33Yes.
19:35Surely you know
19:35enough about this devil
19:36to prevent any
19:37decent girl in her senses
19:38wanting to have
19:39anything to do with him.
19:40She's not in her senses,
19:42Miss Winter.
19:42She's madly in love.
19:44And she has been
19:45told all about him.
19:46She cares for nothing.
19:48Told about the murder
19:49of his wife?
19:50Yes.
19:52My lord.
19:53She must have a nerve.
19:55She has.
19:57Can't you lay
19:57proofs before her?
19:59Can you help us do so?
20:00I am proof.
20:03Live in proof.
20:07If I was to stand before her
20:09and tell her how he used me...
20:12Would you do this?
20:14Would I?
20:16Would I not?
20:17It might be worth the trying.
20:20Our lay didn't tell her all, sir.
20:24All?
20:27He collected me.
20:30He collects women.
20:33I was an artist model.
20:36A respectable artist model.
20:37Of course.
20:38You sat with that painting
20:39in his study.
20:40You've been to Kingston.
20:42Then you'll have seen
20:43all his crocs.
20:45Women and China.
20:47They're his twin passions.
20:50Gruner commissioned
20:51that painting.
20:52And afterwards.
20:55And after.
21:00Well.
21:02Let's just say
21:03I can never work again.
21:06Never.
21:09Never.
21:11Never.
21:14I am
21:16exceedingly obliged
21:17to you, Miss Winter.
21:20We shall indeed
21:21interview
21:21Miss Murville together.
21:24My client
21:25will compensate
21:26you most liberally.
21:27Oh, none of that,
21:27Mr. Holmes.
21:28I'm not out for money.
21:31Just let me see
21:32this man in the mud.
21:33In the mud
21:34with my foot
21:35in his face.
21:36That's my price.
22:08From Kingston.
22:10Thank you, Mrs. Hudson,
22:11no reply.
22:13Shall we dine?
22:19This is a death threat, Holmes.
22:21Do you expect anything less
22:22than the baron gunner?
22:24Holmes, have a care.
22:26Oh, Watson, come along.
22:28We must eat.
22:53Come on, Q.
22:54Come on, Q.
23:05Hey!
23:23Come on, Q.
23:39They ain't following no more.
23:40Yeah, don't you believe it?
23:47Yeah, what did I say?
23:49Now, you stand over there, Kitty.
23:52There's a good girl.
23:53Right.
23:54Who's first?
23:56You?
23:57Oh, you.
23:58Oh!
24:02Come on, Q.
24:02Come on, Q.
24:04Get her!
24:07After that.
24:09Oh.
24:13Uh.
24:17Oh.
24:20Oh.
24:22Oh.
24:23Oh.
24:23Oh.
24:26Oh.
24:30Oh, okay.
24:37Amateurs, ain't done no time, don't know nothing. Come on, girl.
25:32Amateurs, ain't done no time.
26:06Amateurs, ain't done no time.
26:33Amateurs, ain't done no time.
26:47There's two persons who wish to see you, sir.
26:51Persons?
26:52I couldn't in honesty term them gentlemen, sir.
26:56I can't.
26:59I can't.
27:00I can't.
27:08I can't.
27:11I can't.
27:22I can't.
27:26I can't.
27:27I can't.
27:34I can't.
27:35I can't.
27:37I can't.
27:37I can't.
27:38I can't.
27:38I can't.
27:38I can't.
27:38I can't.
27:39I can't.
27:40I can't.
27:40I can't.
27:41I can't.
27:41I can't.
27:41I can't.
27:42I can't.
27:42I can't.
27:43I can't.
27:43I can't.
27:43I can't.
27:44I can't.
27:56I can't.
28:08I can't.
28:17I can't.
28:23I can't.
28:26I can't.
28:28I can't.
28:29I can't.
28:29There is father Mark Who, who, should, I hope, feel for you, as the general does.
28:33Nor is his concern without foundation.
28:35Yeah.
28:37The slander begins.
28:38I do not readily call upon anyone to beg or to plead.
28:42But in Baden Gruner, please, I never speak idly, you chose not merely unwisely but dangerously.
28:49Marry him, Miss Mirvil, I assure you, with all the knowledge I have of the criminal mentality...
28:57You will be in mortal danger.
29:01Just as the former baroness was, she too is infatuated
29:05and paid the fatal prize.
29:07Her life for a fortune.
29:09That's a lie.
29:15You are, of course, aware that the Splurgen Pass,
29:19where your predecessor died, runs between Italy and Switzerland.
29:25What does the geography matter?
29:26A great deal.
29:28When you plan to hurl a helpless woman off a cliff in one country
29:31to break her neck in another.
29:34But it was an accident.
29:36Then why did the shepherd boy who saw the baroness fall
29:39die of arsenical poison?
29:42His murderess, whom Gruner had seduced,
29:46confessed at a trial that he'd obliged her
29:48to administer the fatal substance
29:50or risk disfigurement for life by oil of vitriol.
29:56Those are the facts, Miss Merville.
29:59I beg you.
30:02Picture the awful situation you will find yourself in
30:05if you only wake
30:06to your fianc茅's true character
30:10after you have married him.
30:20I have listened to you with patience, Mr. Holmes.
30:24I am aware my fianc茅 has had a stormy life
30:28in which he has incurred most unjust aspersions.
30:33Possibly you mean well,
30:35though I learn you are a paid agent.
30:39But in any case,
30:40I love Baron Gruner.
30:42And he loves me.
30:48You have told me this young lady's name
30:49and that there is a reason for her presence.
30:51I'll say there is.
30:53And what exactly are you, Miss Winter?
30:55Me?
30:57I'll tell you.
30:59I'll tell you what I am.
31:01I was his mistress, Satsu.
31:03One of a hundred.
31:05More.
31:06He's tempted, used, ruined,
31:08and thrown aside as he will you too.
31:11Please.
31:11You marry this man.
31:13He'll be the death of you.
31:15Maybe a broken heart or a broken neck,
31:17but he'll have you.
31:18Oh, really?
31:19You may think yourself different.
31:20Thank you, Kitty.
31:21You've made yourself admirably clear.
31:24I am aware of three occasions
31:25in my fianc茅's life
31:26when he has become entangled
31:28with designing women.
31:30And I am assured by him
31:31of his hearty repentance.
31:33Him?
31:35Repent?
31:36And only three?
31:38Oh, you fool.
31:40You stupid fool.
31:42Mr. Holmes,
31:44I have obeyed my father's wish
31:45in seeing you,
31:46but I am not compelled to listen
31:48to the slanderous ravings.
31:50Ravings?
31:50Ravings?
31:52Ravings?
31:55Ravings?
31:56My God.
31:57I'll show you.
32:08Look.
32:11Look.
32:14I see that.
32:18And he.
32:21Oil of vitriol.
32:23He did it.
32:25Oh, yes.
32:27He did it.
32:29Your fianc茅.
32:31That's a lie.
32:34It's a lie.
32:35Thank you, Kitty.
32:45You can tell the baron
32:46that I shall not rest
32:47until I bring him to justice.
32:57Miss Winter!
33:01Oh, yes.
33:03Oh, yes.
33:04Oh, yes.
33:05Oh, yes.
33:05Oh, yes.
33:13Oh, yes.
33:14Why, Kitty?
33:14Why?
33:15No, please.
33:16Why did Gruella treat you so?
33:20Because...
33:21No, I can't tell you, Mr. Holmes.
33:23You must this instant.
33:24You said that he collects women.
33:25What did you mean by that?
33:29It's a book he has.
33:31A book?
33:33Brown leather with a lock
33:35and his coat of arms in gold on it.
33:38No, I can't speak of it.
33:41He keeps a record of his women?
33:44We're all in there.
33:47Photographs, names, details.
33:50Everything about us.
33:53He tried to make me read it, Wally.
33:56Oh, no, I can't.
33:57And when you refused?
33:59He went berserk.
34:01He ran out of the room.
34:03I was trying to dress.
34:05He'd come back in with this bottle.
34:07I was half naked.
34:10He threw it straight at me.
34:15Where is this book?
34:16I don't know.
34:17Think.
34:18No, no.
34:19In the study in the bedroom?
34:20It's more than a year since I was there.
34:22Then you can remember, Kitty.
34:24Think.
34:24In the study.
34:29Back of the bureau.
34:31Thank you, Kitty.
34:36Miss Winter's scars could not move, Miss Mervyn.
34:39She was shocked, but recovered instantly.
34:42Good heavens.
34:44Seems inhuman.
34:46I confess that part of me could wish her joy with Grona.
34:49Abandon her to her faith.
34:51After all this?
34:52When I compare Miss Mervyn with Kitty,
34:54whose spirit is as fun as her body is blemished, yes.
34:57He wouldn't withdraw from the case.
34:59Heaven have fear, Watson.
35:01My disgust with Miss Mervyn counts as nothing
35:03against my determination to foil Grona.
35:05But one thing irks me.
35:08But I did not pay more regard
35:10to Kittista Portman when we first met.
35:13The manner in which you dressed her hair.
35:15Oh.
35:16It's late.
35:19We must be gone.
35:24I've got a mountain of work to do at the surgery, Holmes,
35:27so I'll see you in the morning.
35:28Until tomorrow, then.
35:44All right, Sherlock Holmes.
35:46Let's be having you.
35:47Ah, and I can guess to whom I owe this pleasure.
35:49Oh.
35:52Oh.
35:57Oh.
35:59Oh.
36:00Oh, my God.
36:30Read all about it.
36:32Murder's attacked on Sherlock Holmes.
36:37Murder's attacked on Sherlock Holmes.
36:41Read all about it.
36:43Murder's attacked on Sherlock Holmes.
36:45Read all about it.
36:47Read all about it.
36:50Murder's attacked on Sherlock Holmes.
37:11It's all right, Watson.
37:13Don't look so scared.
37:16You mustn't talk.
37:18Nonsense.
37:20Indeed so.
37:23What can I do, Holmes?
37:27Because it was that damned Austrian.
37:32Give me the word and I'll go and thrash the hide off him.
37:35Good old Watson.
37:37No, no, no, no.
37:40Was it the same pair that attacked Johnson and Miss Winter?
37:44One may have been.
37:46The other, as I doubted.
37:49But your thought alerts me.
37:53You must sit and go to Johnson.
37:57Time to find some quiet suburb for Kitty.
37:59She should stay there until the danger is past.
38:05And then...
38:08Then we must exaggerate my injuries.
38:11There's no need for that.
38:13Even so, we must lay it on thick for the press.
38:17May not live the week out.
38:19Concussion, delirium, coma, what you like.
38:24Bring us here to the gravest bulletins.
38:28Anything more?
38:30Yes.
38:32Put my pipe on the table from the tobacco slip.
38:37You must rest, not smoke.
38:42Very well.
38:45Doctor.
39:04Oh, my dearest.

41:08Oh, whoa, 1368, 139, oh, 1368, 139.
41:37Oh, whoa, whoa.
42:16He's sleeping now, sir.
42:18That'll be the morphine.
42:20You won't let the lamp smoke, will you?
42:23No, no, no.
42:25You locked up a load.
42:26Oh, they did that a while back,
42:28those murderous folk about.
42:30True.
42:32True.
42:33Don't drive yourself too hard, sir.
42:35You'll be good for nothing in the morning.
42:37No, I shall be long.
42:44Dr. Hill Barton, 369 Half Moon Street, Mayfair West.
42:48Who's this?
42:49You.
42:50Me?
42:51That is your name this evening, Dr. Hill Barton.
42:55It is?
42:56Yes.
42:57When you call upon Baron Gruner, at half past eight,
43:00you'll be disengaged.
43:02They'll send a note telling him that you'll call.
43:06Also that you're bringing...
43:11this, it is the real eggshell of the Ming dynasty.
43:18The complete set would be worth a king's ransom.
43:21You are a collector.
43:22This set has come your way.
43:25We've heard of the Baron's interest.
43:27What of us to selling at a price?
43:30What price?
43:31Well, you're not exaggerating.
43:32You say it could hardly be matched in the world.
43:35Sir James got it for me.
43:36It comes from the collection of his client.
43:39Well, I could say that it should be valued by an expert.
43:42Oh, Watson, you scintillate today.
43:45I suggest Sotheby's, Christie.
43:48You're certain he'll see me?
43:50Oh, yes.
43:51It's the collection mainly in its most acute form.
43:55One last question, Holmes.
43:56Mm-hmm.
43:58Why have you made me a broker in antiques?
44:01To gain time.
44:04The opportunity to acquire a set such as this
44:07may persuade the Baron
44:09to postpone his visit to the United States.
44:13Now I understand.
44:15Elementary psychologist, Watson.
44:33Kingston, please, driver.
44:47You know.
44:50Song Kwan.
44:5814...
45:001426.
45:12Very fine.
45:16Hmm.
45:20Very...
45:22fine, indeed.
45:29And you say you have a set.
45:32To correspond?
45:39I know of only one in England
45:43to match it.
45:48Would it be, uh...
45:51indiscreet of me
45:53if I were to ask how you obtain this?
45:59Does it really matter?
46:01Oh, of course it matters
46:04with precious objects
46:06such as these provenances, all.
46:08Well, you can see the piece is genuine.
46:11As the value,
46:13I'm perfectly content
46:14to take an expert's assessment.
46:18I had supposed you were an expert, Dr. Hill Barton.
46:21I meant an independent assessment.
46:25Of course.
46:27Hmm.
46:30I have some recently acquired pieces of celadon
46:33you might care to view.
46:36Balmese.
46:37Balmese.
46:47It's flawless.
46:49Typical 12th century
46:51a song, I'd say.
46:53Wouldn't you?
46:57You're right.
47:06And this?
47:16That's an excellent example.
47:18Jin dynasty.
47:20I should say, um...
47:22circa 265 AD.
47:26Precisely.
47:34And these?
47:36Typical of celadon, would you say?
47:38Give me time.
47:39Give me time.
47:40I am giving you time, sir.
47:43Quite so.
47:45I should also be interested
47:46in your views
47:47on the marks of the Hang Wu.
47:51Marks of the Hang Wu?
47:53That's a vexed question.
47:57A vexed question indeed, sir.
48:00There are no marks
48:01on the genuine Hang Wu.
48:03This is intolerable, sir.
48:05I came here to do you a favor,
48:06not to be examined
48:07as if I were a schoolboy.
48:09You came here to spy.
48:11Not so.
48:11Well, you may have found it easy
48:13to inveigle your way in here
48:15upon false pretenses,
48:17but, by God, sir,
48:20you shall find it harder
48:21to get out.
48:23Raise your hands above your head,
48:25Dr. Watson.
48:30What's that?
48:33Holmes!
48:34You!
48:36Don't move!
48:40I shall shoot you
48:41through the head
48:44rather than the heart
48:46and inform the police
48:49I mistook you
48:50for a common burglar.
48:52That is a role
48:53that I played before
48:54with some success.
48:57Without any doubt, sir,
48:59this
49:00will be your last time.
49:02Barrow!
49:03Hit him!
49:08Be done by as we did.
49:11Walter!
49:12Walter!
49:13Don't help!
49:14Don't help!
49:15Help me!
49:16Help me!
49:16Get more!
49:17Let's underporn the barrens!
49:18Ah!
49:19They seem to have
49:21fun!
49:22Let me make it through!
49:24Oh!
49:24Oh!
49:25Oh!
49:26Oh!
49:27Oh!
49:28Oh!
49:29Oh!
49:29Oh!
49:30Oh!
49:31Oh!
49:32Oh!
49:32Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!
49:47Ah, Sir James, forgive me for summoning you at this late hour.
49:50But there's no time to be lost. You must have this before Scotland Yard bumbles in.
49:55Scotland Yard?
49:56Baron Gunnar is bound to have laid a complaint against us.
49:59Watson as an imposter, myself as a burglar. We were both.
50:01I diverted Gunnar's attention while Holmes procured that.
50:07You must show it to Miss Merville. She will find herself one among a hundred.
50:11The account of what sport Baron Gunnar enjoyed with his female victims
50:16may perhaps at last open Miss Merville's eyes.
50:20You've done wonders, Holmes. Wonders.
50:24Except for Kitty Winter. Watson, explain. I'm serious.
50:28Miss Winter is a former mistress of Gunnar's.
50:31She followed me to Kingston and concealed about her as a flask of vitriol.
50:35Which she unleashed upon Gunnar.
50:36Severely damaging his right hand and parts of his face.
50:41He will be disfigured for life.
50:44But surely, if these injuries are as terrible as you describe them,
50:49then our purpose is sufficiently gained...
50:51She would love him the more. As a disfigured martyr.
50:55No.
50:56It is his moral side, not his physical, which we have to destroy.
51:00That book will bring her down to earth, and I know nothing else that could.
51:04It's in his own handwriting. She cannot get past it.
51:08Neither my client or myself can thank you enough, Holmes.
51:11Should either Miss Winter or even you yourself be incommoded by the police,
51:15do not hesitate to telephone me.
51:18Thank you, Sir James, but to tell the truth,
51:20I rarely, if ever, find myself inconvenienced by Scotland Yard.
51:25Good night.
51:26Good night.
51:33Good night.
51:34I would like to thank you too, Watson.
51:35Thanks, sir.
51:36Oh, by the way...
51:41Ming dish.
51:42By Jove, yes.
51:44Worth the king's ransom, I understand.
51:47So, my Watson, I'd like to sit here.
52:12Holmes, Holmes. I've discovered the identity of our client. It's none other than...
52:16A loyal friend and a chivalrous gentleman. Let that now and forever be enough for us.
52:54To be continued...
53:27Amen.
