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.
02:37THE END
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.
03:46I'm bound, therefore, to hope that it is not a false scent, that he has some real need of our
03:54assistance.
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.
04:29Don'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.
04:46It 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 shepherd 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.
05:19General 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, all my past sins shall be absolved.
05:52These aren't sins you've told me of.
05:54These are slanders.
05:56My angel.
05:57You were reduced, as are all great men.
06:01Yet I am determined you shall know my history, every part of me.
06:05Thus shall I come to the altar purified in soul and spirit, and worthy at last of your love.
06:12Just six weeks.
06:15Oh, 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.
06:36Where shall I begin?
06:39With young Heinrich of Saxe-Marc...
06:41To observe, Mr. Holmes, an atrocious event, preparing itself before your very eyes, and yet be powerless to avert it.
06:49Could anyone, any human being, be 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, but he prefers to remain unknown.
07:18I 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 accident, James. I'm sorry.
07:38I'm accustomed to having a mystery at one end of my cases, but having to both ends is too confusing.
07:43No.
07:46You place me in the most serious dilemma.
07:50Dare I say, Mr. Holmes, you 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, the sculptor famous for his bronzes.
08:33Such as this.
08:34I shall commission Hans to...
08:37attempt your likeness, my 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 I've seen, read, admired.
09:09Occasionally, perhaps, a thought or two of my own.
09:13But it's locked.
09:16It is a little part of me.
09:18Besides, a 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.
09:40You.
09:47You must teach me about 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 to the lady with such effect that he has completely and absolutely won her heart.
10:06She will not hear one word against him.
10:08To sum up, she proposes to marry him next month.
10:12As she is of age and has a will of iron, it'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, have 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.
11:02So 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, frequently are, 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.
11:41He's a recognized authority.
11:44Written a book upon the subject.
11:46Well, Sir James, you may tell your client that I'm turning my attention towards Baron Gruner.
11:50I have no doubt, Mr. Holmes, you can easily trace my client.
11:54But I must ask you, as a point of honor, to refrain from doing so.
11:59Do not, I beg you, break in upon his incognito.
12:03I think I can safely promise that.
12:06Dr. Watson.
12:28You're wasting your time, Watson.
12:31Now, the career of General Merville might well give us a pointer as to our client.
12:34He's clearly illustrious.
12:36But did you not hear, Sir James?
12:37His request was to you, Holmes.
12:39But that is shameful, Watson.
12:41Shameful.
12:42Besides, our minds should be more gainfully employed.
12:45Desist.
12:51Any views?
12:53Have you none?
12:54Not yet.
12:56Beyond the one I've already acted upon.
12:58The butcher's boy.
13:00More discreet than any telegraph.
13:04Well, I should think you'd better see the young lady herself.
13:09Start with her.
13:11If a poor brigand on father cannot move, how can I, a complete stranger, prevail?
13:15Well, if all else fails...
13:17Perhaps.
13:19But first, the underworld.
13:24For it is among the dark roots of crime that we must hunt for Grimler's secrets.
13:31You've sent for Shinwell Johnson.
13:35I have but one insight.
13:38That Miss Merville might well condone murder.
13:40Yet some smaller offense might wrackle.
13:48We shall see.
13:53They have engaged the very best.
13:59Swim in.
14:05Mr. Sherlock Holmes, sir.
14:17I rather thought I should see you sooner or later, Mr. Holmes.
14:29You've been retained, no doubt, by General Merville to prevent my marriage with his daughter Violet.
14:38That is so, is it not?
14:46Let me advise you very strongly, Mr. Holmes, to draw off at once, sir.
14:50Draw off?
14:52My dear man, you'll only ruin your well-deserved reputation.
14:56This is not a case in which you can possibly hope to succeed.
14:58Draw off, sir.
15:00It is curious, but that is the very advice that I've come to give you.
15:04Let me put it to you man to man.
15:06If you persist in this marriage, you will raise such a swarm of powerful enemies.
15:11England will be too hot to hold you.
15:15Surely you'll be wiser to draw off.
15:23Excuse my amusement, Mr. Holmes, but it really is very funny seeing you trying to play a hand with no
15:28cards in it.
15:30Not a color card there, sir.
15:31Nothing but the smallest of the small.
15:33So you think.
15:34So I know, sir.
15:35So I know.
15:36Let me make the thing clear to you.
15:37You consider your hand so strong that you could afford to show it?
15:41Certainly, since it becomes plain that in this instance you are clearly out of your depth, Mr. Holmes.
15:46Could it be that your capabilities have been subject to hyperbole?
15:52Your hand is 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 I have been fortunate enough to win the entire affection of Miss Mervyn.
16:17This in spite of the fact that I have informed her clearly of all the unhappy incidents in my past.
16:27I have warned her that certain designing persons would come to her.
16:31I hope you recognize yourself from this.
16:34And would tell her of these things.
16:39I have instructed her how to treat them.
16:43She is well prepared for you.
16:49She will no doubt give you an appointment.
16:52And she will listen.
16:55It will be to no avail, however.
17:00If you wish to speak, now is your moment.
17:06No.
17:08This is not the moment.
17:13Oh, by the way, Mr. Holmes.
17:16Did you know the French agent Le Brun?
17:20Of course.
17:22So you know what befell him?
17:24He was beaten in the Mamat district of Paris and crippled for life.
17:29Quite so.
17:30By an odd coincidence, he had been inquiring into my affairs.
17:33Don't do it, Mr. Holmes.
17:34It's not a lucky thing.
17:37My last word to you is, you go your way.
17:41Let me go mine.
17:45And mine to you, Gruner.
17:47Because if you aspire to be accepted into English society,
17:49you'd do well to remove the band from your Havana before lighting it.
17:53Otherwise, you'll be put down for a binder.
18:11Oh, Mrs. Hudson, is Holmes returned?
18:14Not yet, sir, but there are two visitors waiting.
18:17Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
18:21Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
18:26Why, Johnson...
18:26Evening, Doctor.
18:27Mr. Holmes sent word to me.
18:29I know, Johnson, I know.
18:30And I've brought Kitty here because...
18:31I was delayed at the museum.
18:33And then the press of traffic.
18:35An omnibus overturned in great Russell Street.
18:38Too dare the horse had to be put down.
18:40Gentlemen, forgive me.
18:41I was absorbed by the mysteries of Ming.
18:43I quite forgot the hour, madam.
18:46This is Miss Winter, Mr. Holmes.
18:48Kitty, we call her.
18:49And what you don't know about Gruner.
18:51Of course, please.
18:52Well, Kitty can speak for herself.
18:54Anyway, I put my hand right on her within an hour of your message, sir.
18:57I'm easy to find.
18:59Hell, London gets me every time.
19:01Same address goes for Porky.
19:03Porky?
19:04Is that your undergear, Johnson?
19:07You've never revealed that.
19:09Porky?
19:10Oh, well.
19:11We're old mates, Porky and me.
19:14But there's someone who ought to be down in a lower hell than us.
19:17And that's the man you're after, Mr. Holmes.
19:19I gather we have your good wishes, Miss Winter.
19:20If I can help put him where he belongs, I'm yours to the rattle, sir.
19:26Do you know what he intends?
19:27How the matter stands?
19:29Porky tells me he's after some other poor fool.
19:32Only this time he wants to marry her.
19:35And do you want to stop it?
19:36Yes.
19:38Surely you know enough about this devil to prevent any decent girl in her senses wanting to have anything to
19:42do with him.
19:43She's not in her senses, Miss Winter.
19:45She's madly in love.
19:47And she has been told all about him.
19:49She cares for nothing.
19:51Told about the murder of his wife?
19:53Yes.
19:54My lord.
19:56She must have a nerve.
19:58She has.
19:59Can't you lay proofs before her?
20:02Can you help us do so?
20:03I am proof.
20:05Living proof.
20:10If I was to stand before her and tell her how he used me...
20:15Would you do this?
20:17Would I?
20:19Would I not?
20:20It might be worth the trying.
20:23Our lay didn't tell her all, sir.
20:28All?
20:30He collected me.
20:33He collects women.
20:36I was an artist model.
20:39A respectable artist model.
20:40Of course, you sat with that painting in his study.
20:43You've been to Kingston.
20:45Then you'll have seen all his crocs.
20:48Women and China.
20:50They're his twin passions.
20:53Gruner commissioned that painting.
20:55And afterwards...
20:58And often.
21:04Well...
21:05Let's just say I can never work again.
21:09Never.
21:12Never.
21:17I am...
21:19Exceedingly obliged to you, Miss Winter.
21:23We shall indeed interview Miss Murville together.
21:27My client will compensate you most liberally.
21:30Oh, none of that, Mr. Holmes.
21:31I'm not out for money.
21:34Just let me see this man in the mud.
21:36In the mud with my foot in his face.
21:39That's my price.
21:52Oh, thank you.
22:10I'm not out for money.
22:12No, it's not fair.
22:15I'm not my son.
22:17Come out.
22:21Come out.
22:24Let's go.
22:27Holmes have a care. Oh Watson come along. We must eat.
22:56Come on. Come on.
23:42They ain't following no more. Yeah, don't you believe it?
23:50Yeah, what did I say? Now, you stand over there, Kitty. There's a good girl.
23:55Right. Who's first? You or you?
24:04Come on, Kate!
24:35Come on.
24:39Come on.
24:39Oh, Punky.
24:40Amateurs. Ain't done no time. Don't know nothing. Come on, girl.
24:43Come on.
25:00Come on.
25:02Come on.
25:04Come on.
25:17Come on.
25:29Come on.
25:38Come on.
25:41Come on.
25:41Come on.
25:47Come on.
25:50Come on.
25:50Come on.
26:00Come on.
26:03Come on.
26:04Come on.
26:09Come on.
26:16Come on.
26:18Come on.
26:20Come on.
26:21Come on.
26:39Come on.
26:53Come on.
27:00Come on.
27:02Come on.
27:04Come on.
27:19Was he armed?
27:22No, sir.
27:25Go through to the kitchens.
27:27Clean yourselves up.
27:29And 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.
28:04A 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 Melville, for the warmth of my affections.
28:27But 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.
28:38There.
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 Melville, 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 prize.
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,
29:23runs 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.
29:36But it was an accident.
29:39Then why did the shepherd boy,
29:40who saw the Baroness fall,
29:42die of arsenical poison?
29:45His murderess, whom Gruner had seduced,
29:49confessed at a trial that he'd obliged her
29:51to administer the fatal substance
29:53or risk disfigurement for life
29:55by oil of vitriol.
29:59Those are the facts, Miss Merville.
30:02I beg you.
30:05Picture the awful situation you will find yourself in
30:08if you only wake
30:09to your fiancé's true character
30:13after 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,
31:11and thrown aside as he will you to.
31:14Please.
31:15You marry this man.
31:16He'll be the death of you.
31:17There may be a broken heart or a broken neck,
31:20but he'll have you.
31:21Oh, really?
31:22You may think yourself different.
31:23Thank you, Kitty.
31:24You've made yourself admirably 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.
31:43Oh, you fool.
31:43You stupid fool.
31:45Mr. Holmes.
31:47I 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.
32:18You see 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.
32:48You can tell the baron that I shall not rest
32:50until I bring him to justice.
32:59Miss Ritcher!
33:01Miss Ritcher!
33:04Oh.
33:16Why, Kitty? Why?
33:18No, please.
33:19Why did Girona treat you so?
33:23Because...
33:23No, I can't tell you, Mr. I...
33:26You must, this instance.
33:27You said that he collects women. What did you mean by that?
33:32It's a book he has.
33:33A book?
33:36Brown leather with a lock and 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, names, details.
33:53Everything about us.
33:56He tried to make me read it while he...
33:58Oh, no, I can't.
34:00And when you refused?
34:02He went berserk.
34:04He ran out of the room.
34:06I was trying to dress.
34:08He'd come back in with this 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.
34:27Think.
34:27In the study.
34:32Back of the beautiful.
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.
34:48I confess that part of me could wish her joy with good on her.
34:52Abandon her to her faith?
34:54After all this?
34:55Well, I compare Miss Merville with Kitty,
34:57whose spirit is as far as her body is blemished, yes.
35:00He wouldn't withdraw from the case.
35:02Have no fear, Watson.
35:04My disgust with Miss Merville counts as nothing
35:06against my determination to foil good on her.
35:09But one thing irks me.
35:11But I did not pay more regard to Kiddister Portman
35:14when we first met.
35:16The manner in which she dressed her hair.
35:18Oh.
35:19It's late.
35:22We must be gone.
35:27I've got a mountain of work to do at the surgery, Holmes,
35:30so 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.
35:55Ah!
36:31Let us attack them, Sherlock Holmes.
36:33Read all about it.
36:35Let us attack them, Sherlock Holmes.
36:40Mercer Declan, Sherlock Holmes
36:43Read all about it
36:45Mercer Declan, Sherlock Holmes
36:48Read all about it
36:50Read all about it
36:52Mercer Declan, Sherlock Holmes
37:14It's all right, Watson
37:16Don't look so scared
37:19You mustn't talk
37:21Nonsense
37:23Indeed, sir
37:27What can I do, Holmes?
37:30Because of his that damned Austrian
37:35Give me the word
37:36I'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, as I doubted
37:52But your thought alerts me
37:56You must set a note to Johnson
37:59To have defined 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
38:20May not live the week out
38:23Concussion, delirium, coma, what you like
38:27We must issue the gravest bulletins
38:31Anything more?
38:33Yes
38:35Put my pipe on the table
38:37On the tobacco slip
38:39You must rest
38:42You must rest
38:42Not smoke
38:45Farewell
38:47Doctor
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
39:28It'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
39:41Thank you
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 with Mr. Holmes and his misfortune
39:57Ericepolis has set in
40:03Have you seen the news?
40:04No
40:05In the sales for America on the Royal Retainer on Friday
40:08The news that he has hired
40:11Friday?
40:12That means he's still from Liverpool, not from Southampton
40:15I believe the rascal means to get away from it
40:17But he won't
40:19Well, the Lord Harry won't
40:24Watson
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
41:131368, 39
41:15Oh, 1368, 39
41:1718
41:1819
41:4528
42:19He's sleeping now, sir.
42:21There'll be the morphine.
42:23He won't let the lamp smoke, will you?
42:26No, no, no.
42:27He locked up below.
42:29Oh, I did that a while back.
42:31Those murderous folk about.
42:33True.
42:35True.
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?
42:55That is your name this evening, Dr. Hill-Barton.
42:58It is?
42:59Yes.
43:00When you call upon Baron Gruner, 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
43:12this.
43:15It is the real eggshell
43:17of 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.
43:35You say it could hardly be matched in the world.
43:38Sir James got it for me.
43:40It comes from the collection of his client.
43:42Well, I could say that it should be valued by an expert.
43:45Oh, Watson.
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?
44:04To gain time.
44:07The 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.
44:37Kingston, please, driver.
44:38Kingston, please, driver.
44:50You know
44:52someone
44:54one.
44:56One.
45:01Fourteen.
45:03Oh, I don't know.
45:04Fourteen, twenty-six.
45:15Very 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
46:07it matters
46:07with precious objects
46:09such as these provenances
46:10or...
46:11Well, you can see
46:12the piece is genuine.
46:14As to the value,
46:15I'm
46:16perfectly content
46:17to take an expert's assessment.
46:21I had supposed
46:22you were an expert,
46:23Dr. Hillbarton.
46:24I meant
46:25an independent assessment.
46:28Of course.
46:30Hmm.
46:33I have some
46:34recently acquired
46:35pieces of
46:36celadon
46:36you might care to view.
46:39By all means.
46:41Please.
46:42Please.
46:49It's flawless.
46:52Typical
46:53twelfth-century
46:54sung, I'd say.
46:56Wouldn't you?
47:00You're right.
47:09And this?
47:19That's an excellent
47:20example.
47:22Jin dynasty.
47:23I should say, um,
47:25circa 265 A.D.
47:29Precisely.
47:36And
47:38these?
47:39Typical
47:40of celadon,
47:41would you say?
47:42Give me time.
47:42Give me time.
47:43I am giving you time, sir.
47:46Quite so.
47:47I should
47:48also 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
47:57vexed question.
48:00A vexed question
48:01indeed, sir.
48:03There are no marks
48:04on the genuine
48:04hung woo.
48:06This is intolerable, sir.
48:08I came here
48:09to do you a favor
48:09not to be examined
48:10as if I were a
48:11schoolboy.
48:12You came here
48:13to spy.
48:14Not so.
48:15You may have
48:16found it easy
48:16to inveigle
48:17your way in here
48:18upon false
48:19pretenses,
48:20but,
48:21by God, sir,
48:23you shall find
48:24it harder
48:24to get out.
48:26Raise your hands
48:27above your head,
48:28Dr. Watson.
48:33What's that?
48:36Holmes!
48:37You!
48:39Don't move!
48:43I shall shoot you
48:44through the head
48:46rather than the heart
48:49and then inform
48:51the police
48:52I mistook you
48:53for a common burglar.
48:55That is a role
48:56that I played
48:57before
48:57with some success.
49:00Without any doubt, sir,
49:02this
49:03will be your last time.
49:05Baron!
49:06Hit him!
49:10Be.
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!
49:19Get more!
49:20I'll turn in front of the barons!
49:21Oh!
49:22They see them!
49:23Don't help me!
49:25Yes, they'll be right here!
49:26Come on!
49:27Help!
49:28Help!
49:31Help!
49:35Help!
49:37Help!
49:39Help!
49:42Help!
49:42Help!
49:43Help!
49:44Help!
49:47Help!
49:50Help!
49:53There's no time to be lost. You must have this before Scotland Yard bumbles in.
49:58Scotland Yard?
49:59Baron Gruner is bound to have laid a complaint against us.
50:02Watson as an imposter, myself as a burglar. We were both.
50:05I diverted Gruner's attention while Holmes procured.
50:08That.
50:10You must show it to Miss Merville. She will find herself one among a hundred.
50:14The account of what sport Baron Gruner enjoyed with his female victims
50:20may perhaps at last open Miss Merville's eyes.
50:23You've done wonders, Holmes. Wonders.
50:27Except for Kitty Winter.
50:29Watson, explain. I'm Mr. Rose.
50:31Miss Winter is a former mistress of Gruner's.
50:34She followed me to Kingston and concealed about her as a flask of vitriol.
50:38Which she unleashed upon Gruner.
50:39Severely damaging his right hand and parts of his face.
50:44He will be disfigured for life.
50:47Surely if these injuries are as terrible as you describe them,
50:52then our purpose is sufficiently gained...
50:54She would love him the more.
50:56As a disfigured martyr.
50:58No.
50:59It is his moral side, not his physical, which we have to destroy.
51:03That book will bring her down to earth.
51:05And I know nothing else that could.
51:07It's in his own handwriting.
51:09She cannot get past it.
51:11Neither my client or myself can thank you enough, Holmes.
51:14Should either Miss Winter or even you yourself be incommoded by the police,
51:18do not hesitate to telephone me.
51:21Thank you, Sir James, but to tell the truth,
51:23I rarely if ever find myself inconvenienced by Scotland Yard.
51:28Good night.
51:29Good night.
51:36I would like to thank you, too, Watson.
51:38Thank you, Sir James.
51:39Oh, by the way.
51:44Ming dish.
51:45By Jove, yes.
51:47Worth the king's ransom, I understand.
51:50All right, Watson.
51:51I'll answer, sir James.
52:12Holmes.
52:15Holmes.
52:16I'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.
