Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is intrigued by a centuries-old legend in which every generation of the wealthy Baskerville family is eventually killed by a monstrous hound. Suspecting there is more to the story than meets the eye, he sends Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) to the estate to investigate. Sir Henry (Richard Greene), the only Baskerville left, is grateful for his help. But when a crazed convict escapes and footprints from a beast are found, Baskerville wonders if Watson will be enough.

00:01:15The End
00:01:27The End
00:01:29The End
00:01:51Hello there!
00:01:52Hello there!
00:01:53Is something wrong?
00:02:07My wife and I found him lying dead in the U Alley, face downward.
00:02:11What did you do then?
00:02:13I hurried across the moor to fetch the doctor, Dr. Mortimer.
00:02:17He was at dinner with Miss Stapleton and her brother.
00:02:23Very well, Bannerman, that's all.
00:02:25Yes, sir.
00:02:29Dr. Mortimer, to what do you attribute the death of Sir Charles?
00:02:34Heart failure, sir.
00:02:36I might add that for some time Sir Charles was in a highly nervous state, worried.
00:02:40Something was preying on his mind.
00:02:43And did he confide to you what was preying on his mind?
00:02:48Well...
00:02:53No.
00:02:54Well, then what about those footprints, Mortimer?
00:02:56As though Sir Charles had been tiptoeing back towards the house.
00:02:58I examined them myself, and as a man of science, I...
00:03:01Why did I, Mr. Stapleton?
00:03:02More likely Sir Charles was running.
00:03:04Running?
00:03:04Running from what?
00:03:05If you please, gentlemen.
00:03:07One at a time.
00:03:08Why don't you tell the truth, all of you?
00:03:10Tell all you know.
00:03:11Silence, Mr. Franklin.
00:03:13You've already testified you were not there and know nothing would ever of this matter.
00:03:17Nevertheless, I insist he was murdered.
00:03:20Murdered, I tell you.
00:03:21That will do, sir.
00:03:21That will do.
00:03:24There were no marks on the body of any kind, Dr. Mortimer?
00:03:27None.
00:03:27Then, as his physician, what would you say was the cause of Sir Charles' death?
00:03:34Most emphatically, a heart failure, sir.
00:03:39Such then, gentlemen, is the verdict of this coroner's court.
00:03:43Call it what you like.
00:03:44Sir Charles was murdered.
00:03:46There's more than one person in this room knows I speak the truth.
00:04:21I'm blessed if I know why on earth you want all these clippings about this Baskerville fellow.
00:04:25I have an idea, Watson, that young Sir Henry isn't destined for a very long existence in this world.
00:04:30What?
00:04:32My conjecture is that he'll be murdered.
00:04:34Murdered?
00:04:36It will be very interesting to see if my deductions are accurate.
00:04:42Oh, Mr. Holmes, while you were out, a gentleman called to see you and left this.
00:04:46He asked you to give it to me?
00:04:47Oh, no, sir. He just left it by mistake, I imagine.
00:04:50Uh-huh.
00:04:51Dr. Mortimer?
00:04:52He didn't leave his name, sir.
00:04:53No, it's here on the stick, Mrs. Hudson.
00:04:55Oh, is it?
00:04:55I didn't notice.
00:04:56Do you know any Dr. Mortimer, Watson?
00:04:58No.
00:04:58What did he want?
00:04:59He didn't see, sir.
00:05:01What do you make of it, Watson?
00:05:02Why should I make anything of it?
00:05:04The fellow came to see you.
00:05:05Ah, but what kind of a fellow?
00:05:06Let me hear you reconstruct him from his walking stick by our usual method of elementary observation.
00:05:13Well, I should say that Dr. Mortimer is a successful man, well esteemed.
00:05:18Good. Excellent.
00:05:19I should say that he does a great deal of his visiting on foot, because the iron ferrule is worn
00:05:24down.
00:05:24Perfectly sound.
00:05:25Let's have a look at this inscription.
00:05:28From his friends of the C.C.H.
00:05:31C.C.H.
00:05:32I should say that's the something-or-other hunt.
00:05:35Really, Watson, you've excelled yourself.
00:05:37Oh, has anything escaped me?
00:05:39Almost everything, my dear fellow.
00:05:40Huh?
00:05:42A present to a doctor, I'd say, is more likely to come from a hospital than a hunt.
00:05:45And when the letters C.C. are placed before the hospital, the name Charing Cross Hospital rather obviously presents itself.
00:05:52Oh, well, you may be right.
00:05:54Furthermore, I'd say that Dr. Mortimer had a small practice in the country and was the owner of a dog.
00:05:59How can you tell that?
00:06:00Quite simple.
00:06:01From the teeth marks.
00:06:02Look, you can see for yourself.
00:06:04A rather large dog, I'd say.
00:06:06And unless I'm mistaken, Dr. Mortimer will call on us again in a few moments.
00:06:10Rubbish, Holmes.
00:06:11Rubbish!
00:06:12How the devil can you deduce that?
00:06:13Well, as he left his stick, isn't it reasonable to presume that he'll come back and get it?
00:06:18Dr. Mortimer, sir.
00:06:22Mr. Holmes?
00:06:23Yes, come in, Dr. Mortimer.
00:06:26I took the liberty of calling upon you.
00:06:27And left your stick.
00:06:28Oh, so I did.
00:06:30Thank you so much.
00:06:31A presentation, I see.
00:06:32Yes, sir, from Charing Cross Hospital.
00:06:37This is my friend, Dr. Watson.
00:06:38Of course.
00:06:39How do you do, sir?
00:06:41Mr. Holmes, you're the one man in all England who can help me.
00:06:45Well, won't you sit down?
00:06:48A friend of mine is in grave danger.
00:06:50May I inquire his name?
00:06:52Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:06:53Heir to the estate of Baskerville Hall.
00:06:59I'm in mortal fear Sir Henry's life will be...
00:07:03...stuffed out.
00:07:05Why, what makes you think that?
00:07:06I have information which leads me to believe that for centuries past...
00:07:10...every Baskerville who's inherited the estates has met with a violent...
00:07:13...and sudden death.
00:07:15But as I recall it, Sir Charles died from natural causes, heart failure.
00:07:19Apparently.
00:07:20That was the verdict of the coroner in which I, Sir Charles' physician, concurred.
00:07:24But there was one point which I kept back from the police.
00:07:27From everybody.
00:07:28Yes?
00:07:29About 50 yards from where Sir Charles fell dead...
00:07:32...were footprints.
00:07:36A man's or a woman's?
00:07:37Mr. Holmes.
00:07:39They were the footprints of a gigantic hound.
00:07:42A hound?
00:07:43Well, why didn't you report it?
00:07:45Not a soul would have believed it.
00:07:46During the night it rained.
00:07:48And in the morning the marks were completely obliterated.
00:07:50But I saw them as clearly as I see you.
00:07:54And then, a few days ago, as one of the executors of the estate...
00:07:58...I found this.
00:08:01This old document.
00:08:04Legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
00:08:08Let me read it to you, Mr. Holmes.
00:08:10It's quite short.
00:08:11I won't bore you, I promise.
00:08:13Yes, please, go on.
00:08:16In the time of the Great Rebellion, about 1650...
00:08:20...Baskerville Manor was held by Hugo of that name.
00:08:23A profane and godless man.
00:08:25One Michaelmas, this Hugo stole down upon a neighboring farm...
00:08:28...and carried off the daughter of the house.
00:08:30He locked her in an upper chamber.
00:08:32And while Hugo and his friends were carousing, as was their nightly custom...
00:08:44Such a cuddlesome little wench never existed before, I swear.
00:08:47Cheeks soft as velvet, a form so wondrously rounded.
00:08:52Tell us more.
00:08:53What happened then?
00:08:54Where was I?
00:08:55Her form, you were saying?
00:08:56Oh, yes.
00:08:57No need to cry out, I told her.
00:08:59Hugo will not hurt you.
00:09:02With that, I whisked her up on me saddle, coming to with me cloak...
00:09:06...and we were off like the wind.
00:09:07You brought her here?
00:09:08To the manor?
00:09:09Where is she?
00:09:10Go fetch her, Hugo.
00:09:12Easy to set them down, eh, Hugo.
00:09:14How can he fetch her if she isn't here?
00:09:16Oh, she isn't, eh?
00:09:18Come on, I'll show you.
00:09:20Come on, take a look.
00:09:24Come on, take a look.
00:09:26Come on, take a look.
00:09:32May we come in, my sweet?
00:09:34These drunken socks will give Hugo the...
00:09:37There is no good.
00:09:40Gone!
00:09:41Gone!
00:09:46What ails him?
00:09:47You go there, the devil.
00:09:49What to do, huh?
00:09:52Tim!
00:09:53Gernie!
00:09:54He missed you.
00:09:55What's wrong, sir?
00:09:55He's gone, the wench.
00:09:57Well, don't stand there gaping.
00:09:58Go bring my mare.
00:10:01What's wrong?
00:10:02I've never seen him in such a rage.
00:10:04Where's he gone?
00:10:05Let's follow him.
00:10:06Let's go, Roderick.
00:10:07Farewell.
00:10:08Come on, Matthew.
00:10:12Hold the stirrup, you blockhead.
00:10:15I'll give my soul to the devil for that wench.
00:10:19Do you hear how he pledged his soul to the devil for that wench?
00:10:22Well, may he find her and wed her.
00:10:23Then the devil will have his soul.
00:10:29Come on, Matthew.
00:10:32On and on they rode, until suddenly they came upon the body of the girl.
00:10:44Dead.
00:10:47Then, from just over a rise, they heard sounds so hideous that the blood froze in their veins.
00:10:53And looking up, they beheld...
00:11:04Before we could get at him, Sir Hugo was dead, his body literally torn to shreds.
00:11:09Such is the history of the hound that has cursed the Baskerville family ever since.
00:11:14Many having been unhappy in their deaths.
00:11:16That have been sudden, violent, and mysterious.
00:11:24Well, Mr. Holmes.
00:11:28Interesting.
00:11:30Very interesting.
00:11:31What do you think?
00:11:32I don't know.
00:11:34Mr. Henry's arriving from Canada tomorrow.
00:11:35Please understand my dilemma, my responsibility.
00:11:38I was Sir Charles' best friend.
00:11:40My duty is to protect that boy.
00:11:42If I should take him down there to Baskerville Hall and anything happen to him...
00:11:45What I'd suggest, Dr. Mortimer, is that when Sir Henry arrives, you bring him here.
00:11:49Oh, thank you.
00:11:50Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:11:51You don't know what a load you've taken off my mind.
00:11:56Good night, Dr. Watson.
00:11:57Good night, sir.
00:11:58You've left your stick again.
00:12:00Oh.
00:12:02Father-bye, Dr. Mortimer.
00:12:04You have a dog.
00:12:05I have no dog.
00:12:08Then how do you account for these marks?
00:12:11Evidently, the teeth marks of a dog.
00:12:14I used to have a dog.
00:12:15A small spaniel.
00:12:18But it died.
00:12:21Good night.
00:12:22Good night.
00:12:29Well, Holmes, what do you make of it?
00:12:32Do you think there's anything in it?
00:12:35Good heavens, you're not going to start scratching on that infernal thing, are you?
00:12:42Dear old Watson.
00:13:14Well, good-bye, Sir Henry.
00:13:15If you ever go back to Canada, be sure you'll sail with us.
00:13:17Thanks.
00:13:18You've all been one.
00:13:19The very best of luck, sir.
00:13:20And the same to you.
00:13:21This way, Sir Henry.
00:13:22Ah, here you are, Sonny.
00:13:24Thank you, sir.
00:13:25And you.
00:13:25Thank you, Sir Henry.
00:13:26Thank you, sir.
00:13:27Thank you, sir.
00:13:29Oh, Sir Henry.
00:13:30Oh, it's too bad.
00:13:31It's all over.
00:13:32Just when you and Betsy Ann were really getting to know each other.
00:13:36Oh, but we are going to see one another in London, aren't we, Sir Henry?
00:13:39Oh, I should love to, but I have to go down to the country, unfortunately.
00:13:44To your ancestral estate.
00:13:46How exciting.
00:13:47Perhaps, Betsy Ann, if you're very good, Sir Henry will ask us to visit him.
00:13:53Of course, yes.
00:13:54Oh, you're staying at the Savoy.
00:13:56Don't forget.
00:13:56I won't.
00:13:57Goodbye.
00:13:58Goodbye.
00:14:02Sir Henry?
00:14:03Yes.
00:14:04I'm Dr. Mortimer.
00:14:05Your uncle was my best friend.
00:14:07How do you do?
00:14:08Thank you for coming to meet me.
00:14:09Not at all, my dear boy.
00:14:10Did you have a pleasant trip?
00:14:11Splendid.
00:14:12I've taken rooms for you at the Northumberland Hotel, where I'm stopping.
00:14:15Fine.
00:14:16I assume you'll be staying in London for a few days.
00:14:19Yes.
00:14:19I haven't seen it since I was a boy.
00:14:22Thank you, sir.
00:14:23Northumberland Hotel.
00:14:29Sir Charles's death was a great personal loss to me.
00:14:32I was more than his doctor.
00:14:37What's this?
00:14:44What are those words?
00:14:55You mind, Sir Henry?
00:14:56No, not at all.
00:14:58What do you make of it, Mr. Holmes?
00:15:01Why do you think that last word is printed in ink?
00:15:04Oh, that's simple enough.
00:15:06The words have been snipped from the London Times.
00:15:08That's evident from the topography.
00:15:09But the word Moore is an unusual word.
00:15:12Your correspondent evidently couldn't find it in the newspaper.
00:15:15You'll admit, Dr. Mortimer, there's nothing supernatural about this.
00:15:18Supernatural?
00:15:19Tell me, Sir Henry, has anything else unusual happened to you today, since your arrival in London?
00:15:24I can't think of anything.
00:15:26Unless you'd say that losing one of your boots is unusual.
00:15:31You lost one of your boots?
00:15:32Yes, and brand new ones, too.
00:15:33Never had them on.
00:15:34I put them outside the door to be clean, and when I went to fetch them, there was only one
00:15:37there.
00:15:38Brand new boots, and you put them on to be cleaned?
00:15:40They were tan ones, Dr. Watson.
00:15:42It prevents them from scratching to have them polished first.
00:15:45Now, will you please tell me what this is all about?
00:15:47Dr. Mortimer bringing me here to see you.
00:15:50This letter.
00:15:51It's about you, Sir Henry.
00:15:52Your inheritance in Baskerville Hall.
00:15:54And Dr. Mortimer thinks that it might not be safe for you to go down there.
00:15:57Safe?
00:15:58On account of a hound.
00:15:59A wild, supernatural monster that has cursed you Baskervilles for the last two or three hundred years.
00:16:05Oh, that sounds grand. A family ghost, eh?
00:16:07Why didn't you tell me about this before, Dr. Mortimer?
00:16:10Well, uh, Mr. Holmes suggested...
00:16:12He's going to tell you about it now, Sir Henry.
00:16:14Take him back to the hotel, Dr. Mortimer.
00:16:16Show him that old document.
00:16:17Tell him everything. The whole business.
00:16:19I'll join you a little later.
00:16:20Come on, we'll stroll back. You can tell me on the way.
00:16:22This is not something to joke about, Sir Henry. Believe me.
00:16:25See you presently.
00:16:26Good night.
00:16:30What's up?
00:16:31Shhh.
00:16:34Come on, Watson.
00:16:35What's up now?
00:16:38Where are we going?
00:16:39You'll see soon enough.
00:16:40We've now a moment to lose.
00:16:41Come on, Holmes.
00:16:41Come on, Holmes.
00:17:12Keep an eye on that hansom.
00:17:18This letter dates back to about 1650.
00:17:25Get your evening paper. Get your paper, evening paper.
00:17:29Evening paper, sir. Get your evening paper.
00:17:31Get your paper, evening paper.
00:17:33Evening paper, sir.
00:17:34Tells all the latest news that's gone on, sir.
00:17:36Tells you all about it. Thank you, sir.
00:17:38Evening paper.
00:17:42A dissonant, drunken fellow.
00:17:45He was a dissonant.
00:17:49Look out! Stop!
00:17:52Whip up, Gabby. Whip up, I say.
00:17:54Very good, sir.
00:18:00Who was it?
00:18:00I don't know, but it's just as I expected.
00:18:04Hadn't we'd better hurry on and warm them?
00:18:06No, no, no, no. They're not in any danger.
00:18:07Now, here's the number of that hansom.
00:18:10Find out from Scotland Yard who the cabbie is,
00:18:11and if you can, fetch them along to the hotel.
00:18:13I'll do my best.
00:18:23Well, now that Dr. Mortimer has told you everything, what have you decided?
00:18:28To go there, of course.
00:18:29Good. That's what I thought you'd say.
00:18:30And if Dr. Mortimer will only guarantee that this supernatural hound of his will really appear, I'd call the radio.
00:18:36Oh, don't say that, my boy.
00:18:39Sounds like a bogey story they tell kids to frighten them at night, doesn't it, Mr. Holmes?
00:18:42Yes, rather.
00:18:43It might interest you to know, however, that you were shadowed from my house.
00:18:49Shadowed?
00:18:50Yes, and probably have been ever since you arrived in London.
00:18:52By whom?
00:18:54I don't know.
00:18:56A man and a hansom.
00:18:58He must have seen me run after him and had the cabbie dash off.
00:19:01Oh, by the by.
00:19:02Did you ever discover your mislaid boot?
00:19:04No.
00:19:06Hello.
00:19:09Well, the brown one's here, but one of the black ones is gone.
00:19:13I'll ring for the chambermaid. Perhaps she can explain.
00:19:16Yes, do.
00:19:19Now, why should anyone want to take an odd boot and then exchange a brand new one for an old
00:19:23one?
00:19:24Can you explain it, Mr. Holmes?
00:19:26No, no, I can't.
00:19:27Come in.
00:19:30Did you ring, sir?
00:19:31Yes, about that boot of mine.
00:19:32Oh, I haven't found it yet, sir.
00:19:34I've made inquiries all over the hotel.
00:19:36Well, it's back, the brown one, but now one of my black ones is gone.
00:19:39Oh, sir, that is odd.
00:19:41Who else except yourself has access to this apartment?
00:19:45Only the housekeeper, sir, and she wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:19:48No, no, no, of course not.
00:19:49I'm terribly sorry, sir. I'll do my best to find your boot.
00:19:51All right, thanks.
00:19:52Good evening, gentlemen.
00:19:54Good evening, Dr. Watson.
00:19:55I've got him.
00:19:55Come on in, Clayton.
00:19:58Come this way.
00:20:00This is John Clayton, number 2704.
00:20:03How do you do, sir?
00:20:04How do you do, Clayton?
00:20:05Won't you, won't you sit down?
00:20:08Won't keep you long. It's good of you to come.
00:20:09Thank you, sir.
00:20:13Now, Clayton.
00:20:15I wish you'd tell us who your fare was that watched a certain house on Baker Street this evening
00:20:19and later followed these two gentlemen?
00:20:22Well, I'm close to you.
00:20:23You know as much as I do, sir.
00:20:25Well, not quite as much, I hope.
00:20:27The gent said as though he was a detective, sir.
00:20:30Oh, he did?
00:20:31Yes, sir.
00:20:33How would you describe this, sir, this gentleman, Clayton?
00:20:37Well, I suppose about 35 years of age, sir.
00:20:41Dressed like a torf.
00:20:44Had a small black beard, sir.
00:20:46And the colour of his eyes?
00:20:48I can't say, sir.
00:20:49I see.
00:20:51When did he tell you that he was a detective?
00:20:53At the station, sir.
00:20:54When he gave me the two guineas, what he'd promised me.
00:20:58Did he tell you his name?
00:20:59Yes, sir.
00:21:00What did he say it was?
00:21:01Sherlock Holmes, sir.
00:21:04What?
00:21:04Well, that's the name what he gave me, sir.
00:21:08Sherlock Holmes.
00:21:10Well, whoever it is at least has a sense of humour.
00:21:13Here, Clayton.
00:21:15Here's, uh...
00:21:16Here's something for your trouble.
00:21:17Thank you, sir.
00:21:18Thank you, kindly, sir.
00:21:20Is there anything else I can tell you, sir?
00:21:22Nothing at all, I think.
00:21:23All right, sir. Good day, sir.
00:21:24Good day.
00:21:24Good day, gentlemen.
00:21:30Well, Mr. Holmes,
00:21:32have we progressed, do you think?
00:21:35Perhaps.
00:21:36Uh, tell me, Sir Henry,
00:21:37when were you planning to go down to Dartmoor?
00:21:39Immediately. Tomorrow.
00:21:41I'm really awfully keen to see the old place.
00:21:43Uh, you'll accompany us, Mr. Holmes.
00:21:44Uh, I'd like to very much, Dr. Mortimer,
00:21:46but, unfortunately, I have some rather pressing business here in London.
00:21:49Of course, and there's no need.
00:21:51Please don't think me ungrateful, Dr. Mortimer.
00:21:53I do appreciate your concern for me.
00:21:55But this story of the Hound, it's nonsense.
00:21:58As for that silly letter and all the rest of it,
00:21:59I'm sure it can all quite easily be explained.
00:22:01I quite agree with you, Sir Henry.
00:22:03All the same, if you don't mind,
00:22:04I'd like to ask, uh, Dr. Watson to go down with you.
00:22:07What, sir?
00:22:07If you don't mind, Watson.
00:22:08Gladly, if he care to come.
00:22:10Of course.
00:22:11I'll be delighted.
00:22:12Good.
00:22:12Well, thank you, thank you, Dr. Watson,
00:22:14and thank you, sir.
00:22:15Then we'll stalk the Hound together.
00:22:16Ah, don't take it too lightly, Sir Henry.
00:22:18Well, I must be going.
00:22:19Uh, Mr. Holmes.
00:22:20Yes, Dr. Mortimer.
00:22:20About that person calling himself Sherlock Holmes.
00:22:23Very interesting, Dr. Mortimer.
00:22:25Uh, you'll, uh...
00:22:26Keep me posted, Watson.
00:22:27Write me daily reports.
00:22:28To the smallest detail, Holmes.
00:22:29Fine.
00:22:30I give him into your care, Sir Henry.
00:22:31Guard him well.
00:22:32Good night.
00:22:33Guard me well.
00:22:35I like that.
00:22:36Guard me well.
00:22:49Here we are, Sir Henry, on famous Dartmoor.
00:22:52And what a history it has.
00:22:55You see those rocks over there?
00:22:57Actually, they're stone houses built by Neolithic man,
00:23:0050, 100,000 years ago.
00:23:03You don't suppose the Baskervilles go back that far?
00:23:07And over there, beyond that hill, those dark spots.
00:23:11That's the great Grimpen Mire.
00:23:14As treacherous a morass as exists anywhere.
00:23:17Thousands of lives have been sucked down into its bottomless depths.
00:23:21Cheerful little spot, but fascinating.
00:23:24Oh, it is, Sir Henry.
00:23:26And mysterious.
00:23:28No wonder the people about here have such odd beliefs.
00:23:31Some will tell you that nothing ever really dies upon the moor.
00:23:36And after a time, one gets to believe it.
00:23:38Really?
00:23:39Do you believe that?
00:23:40Of course not.
00:23:42If I believed all the legends about this place, I wouldn't live here.
00:23:47I wouldn't have the courage.
00:23:50And now, if you'll look, Baskerville Hall.
00:23:54The home of your ancestors, Sir Henry.
00:24:03How are you, Barryman?
00:24:04Very well, thank you, sir.
00:24:08This is Barryman the butler, Sir Henry, and Mrs. Barryman.
00:24:11Welcome, Sir Henry.
00:24:12Welcome to Baskerville Hall.
00:24:13Barryman was with your uncle most of his life, as was his father before him.
00:24:17Well, I hope you'll be just as happy here with me.
00:24:19Thank you, Sir Henry.
00:24:21Thank you, Sir Henry.
00:24:38Baskerville Hall.
00:24:39And just as it has always been, Sir Henry.
00:24:41Your uncle did some modernizing upstairs, but down here nothing has been added or taken away since Sir Hugo's time.
00:24:48Well, I wouldn't say it's the most cheerful spot I've ever seen.
00:24:51I beg your pardon, sir.
00:24:52What time do you wish dinner served, sir?
00:24:54Early, I think.
00:24:55Dr. Mortimer has to drive home.
00:24:57Tell the coachman to have the carriage ready after dinner.
00:24:59I'll tell him, sir.
00:25:00Now, I suppose you'd like to freshen up.
00:25:02There's hot water in your room, sir.
00:25:03I'll show the way.
00:25:15Be careful, sir.
00:25:16These steps are a bit in need of repair.
00:25:36Can I throw you up again?
00:25:47Thank you, sir.
00:25:51I, I was trying to pull, and get it together.
00:25:53You see, personality, accurately.
00:25:57This has got to be a good shape.
00:25:57You know what.
00:25:59You are asking me here.
00:26:01Call, are you asking me?
00:26:16I didn't want to startle you. I thought you might be asleep.
00:26:19What is it?
00:26:20Come quickly. Someone's prowling around.
00:26:35Come quickly.
00:27:07What are you doing, Barryman?
00:27:09Oh, nothing, sir. It was the window.
00:27:12The window?
00:27:14Yes, sir. I was just seeing that it was fastened.
00:27:16Well, does it matter whether it's fastened or not, the window on the second floor?
00:27:20I go around every night seeing that they're fastened.
00:27:23Sir Charles always insisted upon it.
00:27:25Well, that sounds reasonable, love.
00:27:29Well, if it's properly fastened now, Barryman, you can get back to bed.
00:27:32Yes, sir. Thank you.
00:27:44Do you see anything?
00:27:46Nothing.
00:27:48Nothing except a pinpointed light a long way off over there by the crags.
00:27:55Well, keep your eye on that point of light.
00:27:58And tell me what happens.
00:28:07Do you... do you see anything now?
00:28:10It's gone now.
00:28:12There it is again.
00:28:13And there it goes.
00:28:15Just as I thought.
00:28:17Barryman was signaling to someone.
00:28:19Come on, get some clothes.
00:28:20We'll find out.
00:28:39It's still there.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:43Try not to lose sight of it.
00:28:45Let's take a look.
00:28:47Yep.
00:29:04Take a look.
00:29:05All right.
00:29:54Crouch down here.
00:29:55Whoever it is may come back.
00:30:12What about getting a little further away from that light?
00:30:15Up there.
00:30:16Good idea.
00:30:25Stop!
00:30:26Are you mad?
00:30:29Whoever it is knows his way among these rocks.
00:30:31We don't.
00:30:32Who the devil can it be?
00:30:35You were right about Barrowman.
00:30:37Yes, but what connection can there possibly be between that horrible creature and Barrowman?
00:30:42You know, I have half a mind to fire the fellow in the morning, then notify the police and let
00:30:46them shadow him.
00:30:47No, it's the last thing that Holmes would want us to do.
00:30:49Our job is to watch Barrowman.
00:30:52Watch him like a hawk.
00:30:54Come on.
00:30:55Let's get back.
00:31:32What do you think it is?
00:31:34What does it sound like to you?
00:31:40Well, if we were back in London, this would seem ridiculous.
00:31:45Let's get on.
00:31:51Look here, doctor.
00:31:53You don't believe that nonsense, do you?
00:31:55Of course not.
00:31:58No more than you know.
00:32:17Good morning.
00:32:18Good morning, Sir Henry.
00:32:20So that's our famous moor, eh?
00:32:22Yes, sir.
00:32:37Come in.
00:32:42Oh, where's Sir Henry?
00:32:45He went out, sir.
00:32:46Where?
00:32:47Across the moor.
00:32:49Didn't I tell you to let me know immediately?
00:32:51If Sir Henry ever ventured out there alone?
00:32:53I know, but I only just found out from my wife.
00:33:21Hello there.
00:33:25Oh, forgive my shouting at you, Dr. Watson.
00:33:28My name's Stapleton.
00:33:29Live just across the moor.
00:33:30But how did you know my name, sir?
00:33:31Oh, from Dr. Mortimer, one of our neighbors.
00:33:33Oh, yes, sir.
00:33:33Hi, Sir Henry.
00:33:34He's very well, thank you.
00:33:36We were a bit worried he might decide not to come here.
00:33:38After the rumors that followed the sad death of Sir Charles,
00:33:41has Mr. Sherlock Holmes come to any conclusion yet?
00:33:44I really can't say.
00:33:45Oh, is he going to honor us with a visit?
00:33:47I haven't the slightest idea.
00:33:48Well, if I can be of any help, I do hope you'll call upon me.
00:33:50I know this place pretty well.
00:33:52Thank you, but I don't think I shall be needing any help.
00:33:55Wonderful place, this moor.
00:33:57From a scientist's point of view, there's nothing like it.
00:34:01Vast, barren, mysterious.
00:34:03You see those bright green spots over there?
00:34:06Seems a little more fertile than the rest.
00:34:08Fertile?
00:34:09That's the great Grimpen Mire.
00:34:11One false step means death.
00:34:13Only yesterday, one of the moor ponies wandered into it.
00:34:15Turned me sick with horror to see it struggling.
00:34:18And the sound of it screams...
00:34:22What's that?
00:34:23Oh, that.
00:34:24Well, the people around here say it's the hound.
00:34:27Surely you don't believe such rot.
00:34:29Bogs make queer noises.
00:34:30Or perhaps it's a bittern booming.
00:34:32A bittern?
00:34:33Yes, a very rare bird.
00:34:35Practically extinct.
00:34:36If anything is extinct on the moor...
00:34:38Stop! Stop!
00:34:40Look out! Stop!
00:34:42That was a voice.
00:34:44A woman's voice.
00:34:48Thank heavens you heard me.
00:34:50Another few yards, you'd have been into that moor.
00:34:52I'm a liar.
00:34:53Looks innocent, doesn't it?
00:34:55But only yesterday, a little moor pony got into it.
00:34:57And that was the end of it.
00:34:59Well, thank you for shouting at me.
00:35:01You're Sir Henry?
00:35:02Yes.
00:35:03Oh, I suppose I should say welcome, Sir Henry.
00:35:06But I'm afraid it wouldn't be sincere.
00:35:07Oh, that's understandable.
00:35:09A stranger coming here and taking the place of someone you were fond of.
00:35:12Oh, it's not that.
00:35:13No?
00:35:14Tell me, what is it?
00:35:15Sounds silly, I know.
00:35:16But...
00:35:17Oh, it's not that ridiculous hound legend.
00:35:19I never used to believe those things, till I came to live down here.
00:35:22But you do now.
00:35:24You're rich.
00:35:25You can go anywhere you want to.
00:35:27There are so many other places to live in the world.
00:35:29Interesting places.
00:35:30Just now, I find this place very interesting.
00:35:36Why, hello, Beryl.
00:35:37Hello.
00:35:38Oh, Dr. Watson, my stepsister, Miss Stapleton.
00:35:40How do you do?
00:35:40How do you do?
00:35:41Hello, doctor.
00:35:42And this, I'm sure, must be...
00:35:43Oh, Sir Henry, my brother.
00:35:44How are you?
00:35:45I was just telling Dr. Watson how delighted we are you decided to come here.
00:35:48I'm here and to stay.
00:35:50Oh, that's splendid.
00:35:51You know, it's been quite dull down here since the hall's been closed.
00:35:54It's wide open now, especially to friends of my uncle.
00:35:57You must both come and dine with me.
00:35:58You must come to us first.
00:36:00Yes, what about tomorrow night?
00:36:01You and Dr. Watson will invite the neighbours over to meet you.
00:36:04Of course, you already know Dr. Mortimer.
00:36:06The only other one's old Mr. Franklin.
00:36:07Who's he?
00:36:08Oh, wait till you meet him, Sir Henry.
00:36:10He'll bring suit against you, I warn you.
00:36:12What on earth for?
00:36:13Oh, he'll find something.
00:36:14Suing people is a passion with him.
00:36:16I'll look forward to meeting him.
00:36:17All right, tomorrow night, then.
00:36:20And thank you again for rescuing me.
00:36:22Goodbye.
00:36:23Goodbye.
00:36:48And were it not a personal insult to Sir Henry, I would never have come here this evening.
00:36:52Oh, but why, Mr. Franklin?
00:36:54As a stickler for convention.
00:36:55I'm not in the habit of breaking bread with my host on the eve of prosecuting him.
00:37:00Great heavens, what crime have I committed now?
00:37:02A most gruesome one, Mr. Stapleton.
00:37:05That of body snatchin'.
00:37:07What?
00:37:07You're a body snatcher, sir.
00:37:09A ghoul.
00:37:10A despoiler of graves.
00:37:12Oh, come, come, Mr. Franklin.
00:37:13That's a very serious charge.
00:37:16Oh, Beryl, refill Mr. Franklin's glass, will you?
00:37:22Thank you, my dear.
00:37:26And an excellent vintage it is, too.
00:37:29But if you're implying that I'm tipsy, sir...
00:37:31Oh, of course he's not.
00:37:32Tell us more, Mr. Franklin.
00:37:34Whose body has Mr. Stapleton been snatching?
00:37:36According to my evidence, sir, Mr. Stapleton was seen...
00:37:39digging among the old stone huts on the moor...
00:37:42and removed from there a skull.
00:37:46Of that?
00:37:48A most interesting relic, Sir Henry, of Neolithic man.
00:37:51I'll show it to you after dinner.
00:37:5250,000 years old if it's a day.
00:37:55Nonetheless, sir, you removed it from the grave...
00:37:57without the consent of the next a kin.
00:37:59And according to British law, that constitutes body snatchin'.
00:38:04Deny that if you can.
00:38:07But what good will it do you to prosecute Mr. Stapleton?
00:38:10None, sir.
00:38:10I have no interest in the matter.
00:38:12I act entirely from a sense of public duty.
00:38:16If you care to drop by my house someday...
00:38:18and take a tipple of wine with me...
00:38:20I'd be glad to tell you a thing or two about...
00:38:23everybody here.
00:38:25About him prowling the grimpen mire at nights...
00:38:28and why he takes Hyrule with him.
00:38:32Oh, there's no secret about us.
00:38:34As you know, I dabble a bit in the occult.
00:38:37Mrs. Mortimer has very strong mediumistic qualities.
00:38:40She finds the old caves on the moor...
00:38:42particularly conducive to psychic phenomena.
00:38:45Very interesting.
00:38:46Have you ever tried to communicate with my uncle since his death?
00:38:49Oh, yes.
00:38:50On several occasions.
00:38:52But with no success.
00:38:54But if my wife would consent to a séance tonight...
00:38:57while you, Sir Henry, are present, we might...
00:38:59No, no, James.
00:39:00Not tonight.
00:39:02Please.
00:39:03Perhaps some other time.
00:39:04Shall we have coffee in the drawing room?
00:39:07Why, of course, Mrs. Mortimer.
00:39:09I don't think I can persuade my wife...
00:39:11I don't think I can persuade my wife...
00:39:12Don't you think there's a mess to my wife?
00:39:14If you and Dr. Watson would care to see my little collection...
00:39:16Oh, yes. Let's go.
00:39:17Yes, we're in here.
00:39:18Thank you very much.
00:39:23Quite a museum.
00:39:24Oh, a very modest little collection.
00:39:26But this one really is quite a treasure.
00:39:31You'll observe its unusual cranial index.
00:39:34Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:39:34My wife has consented.
00:39:36She's agreed to a séance.
00:39:37Splendid.
00:39:37Oh, fine.
00:39:38Please come at once.
00:39:42Now then, if you'll all get chairs...
00:39:44and arrange yourselves naturally, comfortably here for the fire...
00:39:47As Shakespeare says,
00:39:49you can call spirits from the vasty deep...
00:39:51but will they answer?
00:39:53They'll not answer scoffers or sceptics.
00:39:55If that's your attitude, Mr. Franklin...
00:39:56perhaps you wouldn't mind leaving us.
00:39:58I'm sure Mr. Franklin didn't mean to doubt.
00:40:00Of course I don't.
00:40:01And I ask you to keep a civil tone in your head, Dr. Mortimer.
00:40:05Ordering me out from under the roof of my host...
00:40:07is grounds for a very nasty little lawsuit.
00:40:10Oh, come now, Mr. Franklin.
00:40:12Sit down by me.
00:40:14Now, tonight we may communicate with Sir Charles.
00:40:18Find out what he feared so greatly.
00:40:20What he was running away from.
00:40:22Now, Jennifer, you sit here, please.
00:40:26Sir Henry, here.
00:40:27Or would you please put up those lights?
00:40:28Certainly.
00:40:29Mr. Franklin.
00:40:31Stapleton.
00:40:32That light, please.
00:40:34Dr. Watson.
00:40:41Now,
00:40:43if you all keep quiet

00:41:11There are things that only you can tell us.
00:41:17Sir Charles,
00:41:23There are things that only you can explain.
00:41:36That sound.

00:44:00hello hello beryl well where should we go today there's one place we haven't been
00:44:04high tor fine that's where all the old ruins are you know jack says that they're over 50 000
00:44:10years old that sounds interesting and you can still see the remains of their stone huts
00:44:13all right good
00:44:21those flattish stones over there they're graves oh and those huge ones monoliths the remains
00:44:26of their temples doesn't anybody know who they were or what they look like jack has some theory
00:44:31about them but anyway they must have been very primitive living on roofs and dressing in skins
00:44:36but still laughing and dreaming just as we do
00:44:40i wonder how many times some young savage brought his bride into this very hut
00:44:46said take your hat off darling this is home
00:44:49you know this is probably where she cooked his first meal for him
00:44:52what a yell he must have let out when she burnt it up
00:44:58and now they're quite forgotten just as we will be too one day
00:45:06do you suppose when a man met a girl that he liked
00:45:08he had to wait a respectably long time before he dared tell her
00:45:12or things like that sudden natural
00:45:16i'd like to think that things were like that
00:45:19feral that's the way they are with me
00:45:23oh oh but we've we've only known each other such a little while
00:45:26there you see convention custom we can't even be ourselves when we want to be
00:45:30why is that you know i used to come down here quite often and explore these old caves
00:45:35when jack and i first came to live here
00:45:37i didn't have the fear of the moor then
00:45:39and you've none now that's all gone
00:45:41oh when i'm with you it's gone i seem to forget it laughing and talking
00:45:47when i'm alone it all comes back to me
00:45:50and at night i i still wake up trembling as if in my sleep i could hear those awful noises
00:45:55then it gets bad as ever and i oh i think of you and i wish you weren't here
00:45:59oh don't say that well i wish you were in london or in canada
00:46:02but even if i wanted to go back to london or canada

00:47:54There's always something strange.
00:47:56Look, he's limping on the other foot now.
00:48:16Batterman?
00:48:19Yes, sir.
00:48:21Who delivered this note?
00:48:24No one, sir. I found it slipped under the front door.
00:48:49Oh, Batterman, is Sir Henry at home?
00:48:51No, sir. He's gone across the moor.
00:48:53Oh, I'm sorry I missed him.
00:48:55Did Dr. Watson go with him?
00:48:56No, sir.
00:48:57Oh, thank you, Baron.
00:48:58I'll tell Sir Henry you called, sir.
00:49:00Yes, do.
00:49:00No, sir.
00:49:02Thank you, sir.
00:49:04It's all right.
00:49:04It's all right.
00:49:04Oh, no, no, sir.
00:49:04Oh, no.
00:49:04Oh, no, no.
00:49:05Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:49:05Oh, no.
00:49:14Oh, no.
00:54:40There.
00:54:40No, no, no.
00:54:41There.
00:54:46The hound.
00:54:47Come on, Watson.
00:54:48Quick.
00:55:10Look.
00:55:11Look.
00:55:12Sir Henry.
00:55:20You must have run along that ridge and fallen over the cliff.
00:55:22He's dead.
00:55:25Skull crutched in.
00:55:26The convict.
00:55:29The convict.
00:55:56These clothes were the cause of that poor devil's death.
00:55:58Do you mean that the hound was after Sir Henry?
00:56:00Yes, and mistook the convict for him because of the scent of the clothes.
00:56:04Do you remember that missing boot, Watson?
00:56:07Why do you suppose the brown one, the one that had never been worn, was so mysteriously replaced
00:56:12and the black one taken?
00:56:13Why?
00:56:14Why?
00:56:14Because a boot that had never been worn wouldn't have had the scent of the owner.
00:56:17And the black one had.
00:56:18But how does this convict come to be wearing Sir Henry's clothes?
00:56:21Oh, well, that's simple enough.
00:56:25Why, Dr. Watson.
00:56:27Is somebody hurt?
00:56:29Who's this?
00:56:30The convict who escaped from Princeton.
00:56:32Oh, how terrible.
00:56:33I heard a cry.
00:56:34That's what brought me over here.
00:56:35What's your theory about it, Mr. Holmes?
00:56:37You're quick at identification.
00:56:39Oh, everybody knows you, sir.
00:56:41As a matter of fact, we've been expecting you down here.
00:56:43My name's Stapleton.
00:56:44How'd you do?
00:56:45You came in time to see a tragedy.
00:56:46Yes.
00:56:47Yes, most unpleasant remembrance for me to take back to London tomorrow.
00:56:50Oh, must you go so soon?
00:56:52I've been looking forward to meeting you.
00:56:53Yes, yes.
00:56:54I'm afraid I must.
00:56:55We were hoping, Mr. Holmes, that you may be able to shed some light on the occurrences
00:56:58that have puzzled us down here.
00:57:02Yes, but an investigator needs something more than legends and rumours.
00:57:05Oh, quite so.
00:57:07Give me a hand, will you, Watson?
00:57:08We'd better put this poor fellow in one of the huts for the morning.
00:57:11Oh, let me give you a hand.
00:57:12Oh, I think we can manage you all right, thank you.
00:57:23Where's Sir Henry Barrowman?
00:57:24In the library, sir.
00:57:26Now, Barrowman, if your wife's still up, will you tell her Mr. Sherlock Holmes would like a word with her?
00:57:31Sherlock Holmes?
00:57:32Yes.
00:57:34Yes, sir.
00:57:42Sir Henry.
00:57:44Holmes!
00:57:44I'm glad to see you so well, Sir Henry.
00:57:46Why didn't you tell me Mr. Holmes was coming?
00:57:48Well, I'm just...
00:57:48Oh, he didn't know.
00:57:49We ran across each other in the village.
00:57:51I am glad to see you.
00:57:52What is it, Barrowman?
00:57:53Oh, I asked to see Mrs. Barrowman, if you don't mind, Sir Henry.
00:57:56Of course not.
00:57:58Come in, Mrs. Barrowman.
00:58:02I, uh, I think you'd better sit down.
00:58:04Thank you, sir.
00:58:05I prefer to stand.
00:58:08I'm afraid I've some rather bad news for you.
00:58:11What is it?
00:58:12Well, it's going to be a bit of a shock.
00:58:15Oh.
00:58:16They've caught him.
00:58:20Your...
00:58:23Your brother...
00:58:25They'll hang him for sure.
00:58:29No, Mrs. Barrowman.
00:58:31He's beyond the law now.
00:58:33He's in more merciful hands.
00:58:40We came upon the poor fellow as we were crossing the moor.
00:58:43He must have missed his footing and fallen over the cliff.
00:58:46No further need, Barrowman, to signal to him from the window or take food out to him or give him
00:58:52Sir Henry's discarded clothes.
00:58:55Oh, Sir Henry.
00:58:57It was all my doing.
00:58:59Barrowman here wanted to tell you all along so as you could notify the police.
00:59:03But he was my kin, my old kin.
00:59:07Even though he was never any good.
00:59:10We understand.
00:59:13He won't hold it against Barrowman.
00:59:16Will you, sir?
00:59:17Of course not.
00:59:18Now take her along and see that she's all right.
00:59:21Thank you, sir.
00:59:22Thank you, Sir Henry.
00:59:30Well, it's nice to get that end cleared up, for their sake as well as mine.
00:59:34It clears up everything, I think, Sir Henry.
00:59:36That poor devil must have been completely demented.
00:59:38And that accounts for those dreadful noises that we've been hearing from time to time.
00:59:42Exactly.
00:59:42Your troubles are over, Sir Henry.
00:59:44I really am most grateful, Mr. Holmes.
00:59:46Oh, not at all.
00:59:47I've done little enough.
00:59:48But you can sleep peacefully in your bed now and commence to lead the life of a happy country squire.
00:59:53Well, not for a little bit, I'm afraid.
00:59:55I'm off to Canada again.
00:59:57Canada?
00:59:57Beryl, Miss Stapleton and I are going to be married.
01:00:01Miss Stapleton?
01:00:02Very charming young lady.
01:00:04Congratulations.
01:00:05Everything's arranged.
01:00:06Her brother's giving us a farewell party tomorrow night.
01:00:08We'll be married in London the following day and then off for a honeymoon to Canada.
01:00:12My congratulations too, Sir Henry.
01:00:13Thanks.
01:00:14What luck you're here.
01:00:15You and Dr. Watson will be with us tomorrow night.
01:00:17No, I'm sorry.
01:00:18I'm afraid I can't.
01:00:20I must hurry back to London.
01:00:21And so should you too, Watson.
01:00:23We'll have to report to the police here about that convict in the morning, but there's a train leaving early
01:00:26in the afternoon.
01:00:27Oh, what a pity.
01:00:28Beryl will be dreadfully disappointed.
01:00:30Now, we'll remedy that when you come up to London.
01:00:31You must...
01:00:34You must dine with us before you sail.
01:00:44Well, there's the old boy himself.
01:00:46Sir Hugo.
01:00:48Hugo the Beast of the Baskervilles.
01:00:50Not a bad bit of brushwork.
01:00:51By Ransom, one of the minor painters.
01:00:53Oh, I don't imagine it's very valuable.
01:00:55I can't quite agree with you, Sir Henry.
01:00:58One day it might prove to be of the greatest value.
01:01:02Well, we must be going.
01:01:12There's still one or two little points, Holmes, that I can't for the life of me reconcile with your theory
01:01:16about that poor demented convict.
01:01:18One or two little points?
01:01:19Surely you can't mean that he was in London three weeks ago? Sent that letter? Stole that boot?
01:01:24Of course not.
01:01:25And who the devil did?
01:01:26The same person who was responsible for the death of that convict last night and will try again to murder
01:01:30Sir Henry tonight.
01:01:32Tonight?
01:01:33Unless my imagination has run away with itself and I don't think that it has.
01:01:36Then why are we rushing up to London, leaving Sir Henry entirely unprotected?
01:01:39We're not, my dear Watson.
01:01:40We're just giving the impression of rushing up to London.
01:01:44In a minute and a half, we'll be no captain there. We'll catch a train back to Dartmoor.
01:01:46If my surmise is correct, we'll nab our man in the act.
01:01:49But if you know who it is, why all this roundabout rigmarole?
01:01:52Why don't you have him arrested?
01:01:53Because I've no case, not a shred of evidence that would hold in any court.
01:01:56The only way is to catch him red-handed, to catch him in such a way that there's no escape,
01:02:01no alibi.
01:02:03That means gambling with Sir Henry's life.
01:02:05But you can't possibly...
01:02:05Gambling to save his life.
01:02:07But we've got to take that chance.
01:02:11Otherwise, the shadow of sudden death will be forever hanging over his head and sooner or later...
01:02:16Here we are, O'Campton.
01:02:19And may you both spend the rest of your years together in happy contentment.
01:02:24Here, here, here.
01:02:26And now, I want to thank you all for the kindness that you've shown a stranger.
01:02:30And when Beryl and I return, I want you to know that you'll always be welcome at Baskerville Hall.
01:02:35Thank you, Sir Henry.
01:02:36It's going to be lonely for you, Mr. Stapleton, with Beryl gone.
01:02:40Yes, indeed it will, Mrs. Mortimer.
01:02:42I shall be more dependent than ever upon you, my neighbours.
01:02:45Don't count upon me, sir.
01:02:47In my opinion, you're a body snatcher.
01:02:49And until the courts have decreed otherwise, I want nothing whatsoever to do with you.
01:02:54Oh, Mr. Franklin.
01:03:01I say, driver, can't we go a little faster?
01:03:03I'm doing the best I can, sir.
01:03:12You idiot!
01:03:13We said go faster, not break our necks!
01:03:17How far is it to Baskerville Hall?
01:03:19It's five miles by road, sir.
01:03:21But if you want to cut over the moor, it's only about three.
01:03:24Here you are.
01:03:25Come on, Watson, quick.
01:03:26Thank you, sir.
01:03:29It's been a wonderful evening, Stapleton.
01:03:31Well, glad you could be with us, Mortimer.
01:03:35Take this brooch, my dear, and wear it on your wedding dress.
01:03:39It belonged to my great-grandmother.
01:03:41Something old, something new.
01:03:44You know.
01:03:45Oh, that's so sweet of you, Mrs. Mortimer.
01:03:47Thank you so much.
01:03:48And come back to us soon, both of you.
01:03:51We will.
01:03:53May I offer you a lift, my lad?
01:03:55It's such a beautiful night, Mr. Franklin.
01:03:57I think I'll walk, thank you.
01:03:58Merely a gesture of hospitality.
01:04:00Reject it, if you like.
01:04:01Get up there!
01:04:05You're not going to cross the moor alone, Sir Henry.
01:04:07Why not?
01:04:08There's nothing to fear anymore.
01:04:10We can't be sure.
01:04:11Oh, but I have Mr. Sherlock Holmes' own word for it.
01:04:14Come along, James.
01:04:18Good night, Sir Henry.
01:04:19Good night, Mrs. Mortimer.
01:04:21And the best of luck to you both.
01:04:29Good night.
01:04:30Good night.
01:04:34I wish you'd let Mr. Franklin drive you home.
01:04:37I want you to stay and say good night to you.
01:04:40This is our last good night.
01:04:42From tomorrow on, there won't be any more.
01:04:44Ever.
01:04:45Tomorrow we'll be away from this place.
01:04:47I wish it were now.
01:04:48So do I.
01:04:51Oh, now, don't be silly.
01:04:57Good night, Beryl.
01:04:58Good night, dear.
01:05:17Well, was it a nice party?
01:05:18Wonderful.
01:05:19Everything.
01:05:20And most of all, you.
01:05:21Jack, I haven't said very much about going away, but you know how I feel.
01:05:25Yes, of course.
01:05:26It had to be.
01:05:27Well, you won't be too dreadfully lonely, will you?
01:05:29Well, I shall have my work and...
01:05:31Oh, Henry and I'll be back before you even know it.
01:05:33Yes, of course you will.
01:05:34Well, you'd better go to bed now.
01:05:36You've got a big day ahead of you tomorrow.
01:05:38Good night, Jack.
01:05:39Good night, dear.
01:05:55Good night.
01:05:57Good night.
01:05:59Good night.
01:06:07Good night, poor man.
01:07:51Over there.
01:07:53We'll head him off.
01:08:02Jack!
01:08:07Where are you?
01:08:09Go!
01:08:13Go!

01:13:27Let's go.
01:13:36Let's go.
01:13:49Let's go.
01:13:49It's pretty painful, I know.
01:13:51But it won't take much longer.
01:13:52Go on.
01:13:53It doesn't hurt.
01:13:54Now, Mrs. Barryman, some gauze, please.
01:13:57I just heard the dreadful news.
01:13:59Thank heavens you're safe.
01:14:00Is you all right?
01:14:02Well, now we know for certain that this is no legend, no myth.
01:14:05There really is a hound.
01:14:06Was a hound?
01:14:07Yes, Mr. Holmes told me. I ran into him across the moor.
01:14:11He asked me to send you to him at once.
01:14:13It was a matter of great importance.
01:14:15He said he'd wait for you at the spot where the beast was killed.
01:14:18I must finish here first. This poor boy's taken a terrific beating.
01:14:23Well, I could carry on for you, Doctor. I'm a bit of a doctor myself, you know.
01:14:27Do you think you could manage?
01:14:28Yes, I'm sure I could. I think you really ought to go, Dr. Watson.
01:14:32Mr. Holmes was most urgent.
01:14:34Oh, really?
01:14:39I, uh, I shall need some hot water, Mrs. Baderman.
01:14:43Oh, I want it boiling, please.
01:14:44Yes, sir.
01:14:51It must have been a terrifying experience, Sir Henry. Terrifying.
01:14:54It was. It was indeed.
01:14:57Yes, I can see you're still weak from loss of blood.
01:15:00I can't say I feel any too well.
01:15:04Here, drink this, Sir Henry. You'll feel much stronger.
01:15:06I'll see to your other bandages after.
01:15:15Oh, it may taste a little bitter, but don't mind that.
01:15:20Sir Henry!
01:15:25Well?
01:15:27Feeling better?
01:15:28Yes, thanks.
01:15:29I say that's uncomfortably close to your eye, isn't it?
01:15:32Another one on this side?
01:15:33Huh? Well, well, well.
01:15:37Oh, I'm terribly sorry they were as clumsy of me.
01:15:40It was only a bit of a tonic.
01:15:42Sir Henry's lost considerable blood.
01:15:43Yes?
01:15:44Henry!
01:15:45Henry!
01:15:46I'm all right, darling.
01:15:48Oh, no, you're not.
01:15:49We heard those dreadful noises on the way home.
01:15:51It's a mercy he's alive.
01:15:52I owe you an apology, Sir Henry, for jeopardizing your life.
01:15:56Jeopardizing?
01:15:56But you saved my life.
01:15:58But there was no possible way for me to foretell the fog.
01:16:01And I must apologize, too, for deceiving you last night.
01:16:03When I told you that your troubles were over, I knew that they weren't.
01:16:06But if I hadn't cleared out, the crisis which came tonight would have been indefinitely postponed,
01:16:10for the shadow of death hanging over you.
01:16:12And over you, too, Miss Dappleton.
01:16:16You knew this was going to happen?
01:16:18How could you know?
01:16:21The person who wanted to snuff out your life, Sir Henry,
01:16:24was the same one who plotted to kill your uncle.
01:16:28He wanted to get you both out of the way,
01:16:29so that he could lay claim to this place, to the whole Baskerville estate.
01:16:33In tracing back his lineage,
01:16:35he discovered not only that he was the next of kin,
01:16:38but also learned at that old legend about the hound.
01:16:41So he brought the hound to life,
01:16:43by the simple expedient of buying the most savage dog that he could find
01:16:46and hiding it here on the moor until he needed it.
01:16:49If he had succeeded tonight,
01:16:51the blame would have fallen on the legendary monster,
01:16:54and no possible suspicion would have been attached to him.
01:16:57A most ingenious device.
01:17:00And I'm quite sure that he would have had no difficulty in proving his claim to Baskerville Hall
01:17:05and all that goes with it.
01:17:07The most amazing instance of a throwback that I've ever seen.
01:17:17And you can see for yourself.
01:17:18Stapleton!
01:17:19One move and I'll shoot!
01:17:22Jack!
01:17:22You two stay where you are!
01:17:23You're under arrest, Stapleton,
01:17:24for the murder of Sir Charles Baskerville,
01:17:26the murder of a convict,
01:17:27and the attempted murder of Sir Henry.
01:17:28You can't arrest me, hoes!
01:17:31I won't move from any of you and I'll blast you all!
01:17:33The kingdom come!
01:17:40So sorry, old boy.
01:17:46What's the matter, old man?
01:17:48What's the matter?
01:17:49That's our man.
01:17:52Stapleton, the murderer!
01:17:53He won't get very far.
01:17:54I've posted constables on both the roads,
01:17:56and the only other way
01:17:58is across the Grimpen Mire.
01:18:10I'm so sorry, Miss Stapleton.
01:18:12I wish I could have spared you this.
01:18:19Well, that officially closes the case, Sir Henry,
01:18:21and a very interesting case for your annals, Watson.
01:18:23An ordinary dog, an ingenious criminal,
01:18:25and a more ingenious detective.
01:18:27I owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude.
01:18:29Oh, we all do, Sir Henry.
01:18:33Mr. Holmes, we've admired you in the past,
01:18:36as does every Englishman.
01:18:37Your record as our greatest detective
01:18:39is known throughout the world.
01:18:40But this, seeing how you work,
01:18:43knowing that there's a lot of work,
01:18:44there is in England such a man as you,
01:18:45gives us all a sense of safety and security.
01:18:49God bless you, Mr. Holmes.
01:18:51Thank you, Dr. Mortimer.
01:18:54Now, if you don't mind,
01:18:55I've had rather a strenuous day.
01:18:57I think I'll turn in.
01:18:58Of course.
01:19:00Good night.
01:19:00Good night.
01:19:01Good night.
01:19:01Good night, Mr. Holmes.
01:19:02Good night, Sir.
01:19:04Old Watson, the needle.
01:19:15Good night.
01:19:17Good night.
01:19:22Good night.
01:19:44Good night.
01:19:44Good night.
01:19:44Good night.
01:19:44Good night.
01:19:45Good night.
01:19:45You
