00:00:01The End
00:00:35The End
00:01:10The End
00:01:37Gentlemen of the jury, have you decided on your verdict?
00:01:41We have.
00:01:42The prisoner will rise.
00:01:45Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty of willful murder?
00:01:49According to the evidence, we have no choice but to find the prisoner not guilty.
00:01:54And so do we all find.
00:01:55And may God forgive us.
00:01:58Prisoner at the bar, you have heard the verdict.
00:02:02Under the law, no other verdict is possible.
00:02:04Yet it is undoubtedly a gross miscarriage of justice.
00:02:09It is deplorable, Professor Moriarty, that a man of your intellectual attainments
00:02:13should be standing in the prisoner's dock, charged with the crime of murder.
00:02:16And in setting you free, I cannot in my conscience exonerate you.
00:02:22Let the prisoner be discharged.
00:02:27Let me in!
00:02:28Let me in!
00:02:29Let me in!
00:02:30Lord!
00:02:34Lord, I have important new evidence.
00:02:36You come too late, Mr. Holmes.
00:02:38The prisoner has been discharged.
00:02:40But, my Lord, you can't let Moriarty go free.
00:02:42He killed Loray.
00:02:43I can prove it.
00:02:44I can destroy his alibi.
00:02:45That alibi has been established by 300 fellows of the Royal Society.
00:02:49Your Lordship, my client has been acquitted.
00:02:51He cannot be tried twice on the same charge.
00:03:03Well, there you are, Holmes.
00:03:05I'm afraid you have a bad opinion of me.
00:03:06On the contrary, I hold you in the highest esteem.
00:03:09But only as a knave.
00:03:11It's gratifying to know that one's tolerance appreciated
00:03:13by such a distinguished connoisseur.
00:03:16May I give you a lift to the scasm, Miss Rand?
00:03:24221 Baker Street first.
00:03:26Very good, dear.
00:03:26After you, my dear Holmes.
00:03:27By no means.
00:03:28I prefer that you precede me at all times.
00:03:30What a great deal.
00:03:31Happy you are.
00:03:39You've a magnificent brain, Moriarty.
00:03:41I admire it.
00:03:43I admire it so much, I'd like to present it pickled in alcohol
00:03:46to the London Medical Society.
00:03:47That would make an interesting exhibit.
00:03:52Holmes.
00:03:53You've only now barely miss sending me to the gallows.
00:03:56You're the one man in England clever enough to defeat me.
00:03:59The situation has become impossible.
00:04:01Have you any suggestions?
00:04:03I'm going to break you, Holmes.
00:04:05I'm going to bring off right under your nose
00:04:07the most incredible crime of the century,
00:04:09and you'll never suspect it until it's too late.
00:04:12That will be the end of you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:04:17And when I've beaten and ruined you,
00:04:19then I can retire in peace.
00:04:21I'd like to retire.
00:04:22Crime no longer amuses me.
00:04:24I'd like to devote my remaining years to abstract science.
00:04:34Here we are at my lodging, sir.
00:04:36I'm so sorry I can't ask you in.
00:04:38Good night, Professor Moriarty.
00:04:40Good night.
00:04:41Good night.
00:04:55Good night.
00:05:23I was just coming in when you rang, sir.
00:05:26Well, there you are, Dawes.
00:05:27Mr. Bessick is here, sir.
00:05:29I'll see him at once.
00:05:31Come to me as soon as he's gone, Dawes.
00:05:33There's something I want to say to you.
00:05:35Yes, sir.
00:06:05Well, Bessick?
00:06:10Don't that bloke never stop?
00:06:12That music gives me the creeps.
00:06:15Does it, Bessick?
00:06:15I rather like it.
00:06:18I want you to post that letter in the box at Portland Square just a few minutes before 12.
00:06:24Then drive directly to your lodgings by way of Oxford Circus.
00:06:27Wait there till I send for you.
00:06:30That's all.
00:06:31First, I want to know what I'm getting into.
00:06:34You have your orders.
00:06:35That's enough.
00:06:36I've got a right to know the layout in case there's trouble.
00:06:39I'll take care of that.
00:06:41That's what you promised Higgins in that Emmersmith job.
00:06:44Oh, poor Higgins.
00:06:47They found nothing but his boots.
00:06:49One boot?
00:06:50You know, Bessick, Higgins was a valuable man and a clever cracksman.
00:06:55But he had your unfortunate habit of asking too many questions.
00:06:59And now all that's left of him is one boot.
00:07:03Don't take me wrong, Professor.
00:07:06I'll do what you tell me right enough.
00:07:08I'm sure you will, Bessick.
00:07:10And just to prove how I trust you, I'm going to tell you my plan.
00:07:14Although you haven't the imagination to appreciate its subtlety.
00:07:18My whole success depends upon a peculiarity of Holmes' brain.
00:07:22Its perpetual restlessness.
00:07:24Its constant struggle to escape boredom.
00:07:27Holmes again?
00:07:28Always Holmes until the end.
00:07:30He's like a spoiled boy who picks watches to pieces.
00:07:33But loses interest in one toy as soon as he's given another.
00:07:37So I'm presenting the ingenious but fickle Mr. Holmes with two toys.
00:07:43In the order in which I mean him to have them.
00:07:46The first, that letter.
00:07:49And if I know Mr. Holmes, that will interest him very little.
00:07:53After this gun will still fascinate and tantalize his imagination.
00:08:00Blimey, what's it mean?
00:08:03That is what I'm depending upon to absorb Mr. Holmes' interest when I'm engaged elsewhere.
00:08:08I'll give him a toy to delight his heart.
00:08:11So full of bizarre complications that he'll forget all about the first toy.
00:08:16That letter.
00:08:20What's in the letter, Professor?
00:08:22The germ of a crime, Bassick.
00:08:24A truly great crime.
00:08:26A crime that will stir the empire.
00:08:28The children will read about in their history books.
00:08:31And you're going to be part of it, Bassick.
00:08:42Off with you now.
00:09:05You wanted to see me, sir?
00:09:08I'm away for a few weeks, Dawes, and I come back to find my Anthurium magenta.
00:09:11My incomparable Anthurium magenta.
00:09:14Withered, ruined.
00:09:15I can't understand it, sir.
00:09:16I took good care of all the plants.
00:09:18Did you water them?
00:09:18Every day, sir, just as you told me, sir.
00:09:20Then how does it happen that I find a spider's web spun across the spout of the watering can?
00:09:25Well, that can happen overnight, sir.
00:09:27Overnight?
00:09:27Then you didn't water them today.
00:09:29There's been so much to do, sir.
00:09:30Preparing for your coming back and all...
00:09:32Nothing is as important as the care of my flowers.
00:09:35Through your neglect, this flower has died.
00:09:37You've murdered a flower.
00:09:38I'm sorry, sir.
00:09:39And to think that for merely murdering a man,
00:09:41I was incarcerated for six whole weeks in a filthy prison cell.
00:09:44A pity, sir.
00:09:45A travesty on justice.
00:09:46Quite so, sir.
00:09:47But for this crime, Dawes, you should be flogged, broken on the wheel, drawn and quartered.
00:09:54Yes, sir.
00:09:54Well, that'd be all, sir.
00:09:55And boiled in oil.
00:09:57Thank you, sir.
00:09:59Go away.
00:10:00Yes, sir.
00:10:22Thank you, sir.
00:10:48Yes, sir.
00:10:49Thank you, sir.
00:10:54Thank you, sir.
00:10:57Now, Billy, when you finish sweeping, you can dust.
00:11:00Yes, sir.
00:11:01Thank you, sir.
00:11:20Oh, good morning, Dr. Watson.
00:11:22Good morning, Mrs. Hudson.
00:11:23Is Mr. Holmes in?
00:11:24You're right, Hudson.
00:11:25Ah, good. Is he busy?
00:11:27Well, you might say he was busy,
00:11:29and then again you might say he was not busy.
00:11:31Huh?
00:11:31That's very good.
00:11:37Well, well, well, well, Billy.
00:11:39That's a fetching little frock that you're wearing.
00:11:41Mrs. Hudson made me put it on, sir.
00:11:43I was afraid Mr. Holmes or you would see me.
00:11:45I think it's very becoming.
00:11:52Come in, Watson.
00:11:54Come in, Watson.
00:12:04I trust I don't come in opportunity.
00:12:07My dear fellow, as if you ever could.
00:12:10Come on, pull up a chair.
00:12:11As a matter of fact, you're just in time
00:12:13to help me decide a matter which is certainly delicate
00:12:15and possibly of the gravest importance.
00:12:17Of course. Anything I can do.
00:12:19I received this note last night.
00:12:22My dear Mr. Holmes,
00:12:23I'm taking the liberty of calling on you
00:12:24at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:12:26That's very soon now.
00:12:28To ask you what may appear a silly question,
00:12:30whether or not I should go to a garden party
00:12:32on Saturday at Lady Conningham's.
00:12:33I beg you to see me.
00:12:34I'm in desperate need of advice.
00:12:36Sincerely yours, Anne Brandon.
00:12:40What do you make of it, Watson?
00:12:42Somebody's pulling your leg.
00:12:43No, no, no, no.
00:12:44I've checked on the young lady.
00:12:45She lives in town with her brother.
00:12:46She's very rich, mining fortune.
00:12:48Her father died somewhat mysteriously
00:12:50about ten years ago.
00:12:52As for Miss Brandon's dilemma,
00:12:54Lady Conningham is eminently respectable,
00:12:56but she gives the kind of parties
00:12:57that one comes away from with a feeling
00:12:59that one hasn't been anywhere.
00:13:01Well, how can you trifle
00:13:02with such inconsequentialities
00:13:03when Moriarty's loose on London?
00:13:06My dear Watson, you astound me.
00:13:08It's the very inconsequentialities
00:13:10of Miss Brandon's message
00:13:11that engages my interest.
00:13:12But Moriarty?
00:13:13What of him?
00:13:14I've taken the most efficient steps
00:13:16of keeping in touch with Moriarty.
00:13:18You're having him followed.
00:13:19Oh, don't be so crude, Watson.
00:13:20Well, what are you doing?
00:13:23Nothing.
00:13:25Nothing?
00:13:26My dear Watson, you needn't check me back
00:13:28as if I had an invoice.
00:13:30I said nothing.
00:13:31That's the best thing I can possibly do
00:13:33at the moment.
00:13:35Moriarty's as curious about my movements
00:13:37as I am about his.
00:13:40So I sit here and wait for him to come to me.
00:13:43And he'll come.
00:13:45Never doubt it.
00:13:48What?
00:13:49So you fiddle while Rome burns.
00:13:52A daring metaphor, Watson.
00:13:54And what are you doing with that infernal fiddle
00:13:55and those flies?
00:13:57I was observing the reaction on the common housefly
00:14:00at the chromatic scale.
00:14:03A brilliant experiment.
00:14:05Yes, it will be.
00:14:05If I can find the note that annoys the housefly.
00:14:08Huh?
00:14:08Then one need only play that one note
00:14:10and psst.
00:14:11All the houseflies disappear.
00:14:13Amazing.
00:14:14No, no, no.
00:14:15Elementary, my dear Watson.
00:14:16Purely elementary.
00:14:19I expect that will be the young lady.
00:14:21On the contrary,
00:14:22I suggest an elderly gentleman.
00:14:25Perhaps a touch of gout in his right leg.
00:14:31Sir Ronald, I'm delighted to see you.
00:14:33How do you do, Holmes?
00:14:34Let me take your hat and stick.
00:14:35Thank you, yes.
00:14:36I don't think you know Dr. Watson, do you?
00:14:39Watson, this is Sir Ronald Ramsgate,
00:14:40constable of the Tower of London
00:14:41where all he has to do
00:14:42is to keep his eyes on the crown jewels.
00:14:44How do you do, sir?
00:14:46Holmes has often spoken of you, Dr. Watson.
00:14:48Now...
00:14:48You haven't dropped in like this for a long time, Sir Ronald.
00:14:50Won't you sit down and have a cup of tea?
00:14:52Thank you. No, no.
00:14:52I've come to consult you
00:14:54on a rather peculiar matter.
00:14:56Mm-hmm.
00:14:57Now, just have a look at that.
00:14:59Now, doesn't it strike you that the handwriting is...
00:15:01Yes, yes.
00:15:02And that's because it's written with the left hand.
00:15:06Star of Delhi will never reach the Tower of London.
00:15:09Hmm.
00:15:10Curious.
00:15:11And anonymous.
00:15:13What is?
00:15:13The Star of Delhi?
00:15:15Probably the largest emerald in the world.
00:15:17A gift to Her Majesty from the Maharaja of Rapua.
00:15:19Oh, I shouldn't worry about this, Sir Ronald.
00:15:22Typical crank letter.
00:15:23Besides, no professional thief would risk
00:15:24stealing so famous an emerald.
00:15:26He can't break it up.
00:15:27He certainly couldn't sell it as it is.
00:15:29Perhaps not, but in my position of trust,
00:15:31I can't afford to take any chances.
00:15:32I wonder whether you could possibly manage
00:15:34to be on hand when the jewel is delivered.
00:15:37When will that be?
00:15:38This weekend.
00:15:39It's coming on the cruiser Invincible.
00:15:41Well, Sir Ronald,
00:15:42even though I'm convinced that the threat means nothing,
00:15:44and that a routine police guard will be quite adequate,
00:15:47you can depend on me.
00:15:49Now I feel sure the jewel will be safe.
00:15:52Little enough to do for you, Sir Ronald.
00:16:03Excuse me.
00:16:13I don't know what you must think of me,
00:16:15but I'm sure I was followed here.
00:16:16You are Miss Brandon?
00:16:17Yes.
00:16:18I am Sherlock Holmes.
00:16:19Yes, I know.
00:16:19Let me introduce you to my associate,
00:16:21Dr. Watson.
00:16:21How do you do?
00:16:22Sir Ronald Ramsgate.
00:16:23Mr. Holmes, I...
00:16:25I...
00:16:26Well, I got what I wanted,
00:16:28so I think I'll be going along.
00:16:30Good day, Miss Brandon.
00:16:31Goodbye, Doctor.
00:16:31Goodbye, Sir.
00:16:32My hat and stick, Sir Ronald.
00:16:35I'm depending on you.
00:16:36I'll not fail you.
00:16:38I'm sure of that.
00:16:39Goodbye, Sir.
00:16:39Goodbye.
00:16:49Yes, Miss Brandon?
00:16:51Why, I...
00:16:51I shouldn't have written you as I did, Mr. Holmes,
00:16:53and then burst in in this melodramatic way.
00:16:56But I had to see you.
00:16:57Oh, that doesn't matter, Miss Brandon.
00:16:59There's no more resolutely informal household in all London
00:17:01than mine.
00:17:02You're very kind.
00:17:03Not at all.
00:17:04Only I don't understand why you wish to consult me
00:17:06about a garden party.
00:17:07You couldn't possibly find a worse guide to social etiquette.
00:17:10It's because my brother and Gerald Hunter,
00:17:12he's the family solicitor, insist on my going.
00:17:15And I don't want to.
00:17:17I don't want to.
00:17:19Yes, but...
00:17:20How should I know how to advise you, Miss Brandon?
00:17:22Perhaps you should do as your brother and family solicitor suggest.
00:17:25Lady Cunningham is eminently respectable.
00:17:28No.
00:17:29Oh, Mr. Holmes, I...
00:17:30I'm so frightened.
00:17:32What are you frightened of, Miss Brandon?
00:17:36Murder.
00:17:40Sit down, Miss Brandon.
00:17:46Now, suppose you tell us all about it.
00:17:49Well, this came for my brother, Lloyd, in the post two days ago.
00:18:07Hmm.
00:18:08This seems to be a field day for crank messages.
00:18:10Look at that, Watson.
00:18:12Hmm.
00:18:13Curious?
00:18:14May the 11th.
00:18:15May the 11th.
00:18:16That's today.
00:18:17My father received just such a note before he was murdered.
00:18:21Murdered?
00:18:22Murdered.
00:18:23Ten years ago on May the 11th.
00:18:26Scotland Yard couldn't make anything of it.
00:18:29But I saw him.
00:18:31My father.
00:18:33Lying there on the pavement.
00:18:34With the back of his head off.
00:18:43Now, tell me, Miss Brandon.
00:18:45Do you associate May the 11th with anything else besides your father's death?
00:18:48I mean, perhaps with some other incident in your family history?
00:18:51No.
00:18:52No, nothing.
00:18:53My family has no history.
00:18:54My father was a self-made man.
00:18:56I see.
00:18:58Oh, Mr. Holmes, you must save my brother.
00:19:00Don't let them kill him as they did my father.
00:19:09Gerald.
00:19:15It was very wrong if you'd come here, Anna, after I expressly asked you not to.
00:19:18No more so than for you to follow me.
00:19:20Where's the paper you took off my desk?
00:19:21Here, in my hand.
00:19:22And I'll keep it until I find out what it means.
00:19:27I apologize for the intrusion, gentlemen.
00:19:29My name is Hunter.
00:19:30I'm the legal representative for Miss Brandon's brother.
00:19:33That note was placed confidentially in my keeping.
00:19:35It's of no concern to anybody except Mr. Brandon and myself.
00:19:38Murder is the concern of every right-minded person, Mr. Hunter.
00:19:43You make too much of a trifle.
00:19:44There's nothing trifling about murder.
00:19:47Miss Brandon fears this drawing may be a threat.
00:19:49Oh, she's been reading too many novels.
00:19:51It's merely some kind of joke or the work of a mental incompetent.
00:19:55Isn't it true, Mr. Hunter, that Miss Brandon's father received such a drawing before he was killed?
00:20:00Since my client attaches no significance to that, Mr. Holmes, I don't see why you should.
00:20:04It's pure coincidence.
00:20:06Yes.
00:20:07But it would be unfortunate if the coincidence turned into a tragedy, wouldn't it?
00:20:11That is our responsibility, Mr. Holmes.
00:20:13I regret that you've been troubled. I'll send you a cheque for your fee.
00:20:15As yet there is no fee. I haven't accepted the case.
00:20:17Yes.
00:20:18You see, Anne, you've only made yourself ridiculous.
00:20:22Well, if Mr. Holmes won't help me, I've got a Scotland Yard.
00:20:26Won't you trust me, Anne?
00:20:27But, Gerald, there's too much at stake. My brother's life.
00:20:30Darling, you must trust me.
00:20:33If you don't, what's to happen to us?
00:20:36I don't know, Gerald. I daren't think.
00:20:43I've decided to accept your case, Miss Brandon. I shall help you all I can.
00:20:46Oh, thank you.
00:20:47We don't want your interference, Mr. Holmes.
00:20:49I interfere whenever and wherever I like, Mr. Hunter.
00:20:52I think you'd better go, Gerald.
00:20:54Come with me.
00:20:54No.
00:20:56Very well, if that's how you want it.
00:20:58Good day, gentlemen.
00:21:02Have I been very foolish, Mr. Holmes?
00:21:04I don't think so. May I keep that note?
00:21:07Yes, of course.
00:21:11Struck me that Mr. Hunter behaved rather curiously.
00:21:14Yes.
00:21:16He's my fiancée.
00:21:17I understand that.
00:21:19You've no idea what kind of bird this is supposed to be, have you?
00:21:22I don't know anything about birds.
00:21:24I notice that it isn't just a bird. It's a definite kind of bird.
00:21:28I think he belongs to the Pruscellariforme family.
00:21:31Go to the Kensington Museum and look him up.
00:21:34I'd like you to come with me, Miss Brandon.
00:21:36Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Anything you say.
00:21:40Come in, Billy.
00:21:44Yes, Mr. Holmes?
00:21:45Oh, Billy, I'd be obliged if you take this young lady down to Mrs. Hudson and give her a cup
00:21:48of tea.
00:21:48Yes, Mr. Holmes.
00:21:49Then, Billy, I want you to get me a cab.
00:21:50I know, sir. Not the first, not the second cab in the line, but the third.
00:21:54Well, I don't think that precaution will be necessary in this case, but use your own judgment.
00:21:58Yes, sir.
00:21:59By the way, Billy.
00:22:00Yes, sir.
00:22:01When you've found that cab, you might remove the dust that you kicked under the rug on the landing.
00:22:11Billy's starting to take over my duties when I retire, Miss Brandon.
00:22:15I'll join you below in just a few minutes.
00:22:16I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:22:18Please don't try.
00:22:27Holmes, you can't get involved in this case.
00:22:29Your duty is to guard the Star of Delhi.
00:22:31What?
00:22:32Oh, bother the Star of Delhi.
00:22:33What?
00:22:34Here's a case where a man's life may be involved.
00:22:36And there's something grotesque about this business.
00:22:39The young hunter knows a great deal more than he proposes to tell.
00:22:42Find out what you can about him, will you, Watson, and report to me at the museum.
00:22:45It's time for lunch.
00:22:46Lunch?
00:22:46One can have lunch any time.
00:22:48Oh, go on, Watson.
00:22:48Please, hurry up.
00:22:59You're certain there was no one who nursed a grievance against your father or your family?
00:23:03No, I've told you.
00:23:04My brother and I live very quietly.
00:23:06My father, well, I admit he was a hard man, but men who go out into new worlds have to
00:23:11be.
00:23:12But he was honorable and fine.
00:23:14And Mr. Hunter?
00:23:15We've known each other ever since we were children.
00:23:18My brother and I have always trusted him completely.
00:23:21Tell me, have you ever through your family or Mr. Hunter, heard the name of a man called Moriarty?
00:23:28Moriarty?
00:23:29No.
00:23:30You quite sure?
00:23:31Quite.
00:23:32Why do you ask?
00:23:35Somehow I had the feeling of renewing an old acquaintance.
00:23:38Here we are.
00:23:41Proceladiforms, West Wing, Section 4A.
00:23:43All right, let's see.
00:23:43Oh, honey.
00:23:47Go, honey.
00:23:48Go, honey.
00:24:06See you again.
00:24:17I'm sure everything will be taken care of to your satisfaction.
00:24:19I depend upon you implicitly.
00:24:22There will be no difficulties.
00:24:52I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:24:52Floyd, I thought you were asleep.
00:24:54How can I sleep with this stretch over me?
00:24:56You've got to do something about it, Gerald.
00:24:58Who was that man here just now?
00:25:00A client.
00:25:02Who was he?
00:25:03Sit here, old man.
00:25:05You mustn't let yourself go like this.
00:25:07I know.
00:25:08I've been beastly nervey.
00:25:11I haven't slept a wink since that note came.
00:25:13You've got to sleep.
00:25:15You've got to keep your wits about you.
00:25:17This is May the 11th.
00:25:18The date on the paper.
00:25:21He's going to kill me, Gerald.
00:25:23Wherever I go,
00:25:25whatever I do,
00:25:27he's going to kill me.
00:25:30Is there nothing anyone can do about it?
00:25:40Why don't you go home and go to bed?
00:25:42You can't do yourself any good pacing my office.
00:25:45The safest place in London for you just now is your own home.
00:25:48Perhaps you're right.
00:25:50Anyhow, I can't go on like this.
00:25:53I'll go home.
00:25:57You come with me, Gerald?
00:25:59I'm afraid I can't, Lloyd.
00:26:02Probably wouldn't matter.
00:26:04If anything should happen to me,
00:26:06you look after Anne, won't you?
00:26:09Don't be absurd.
00:26:10Nothing's going to happen to you.
00:26:11But if it should...
00:26:14You know how I feel about Anne.
00:26:17Goodbye.
00:26:19Thanks.
00:26:19You'll be all right, Lloyd.
00:26:21This is just a bad dream.
00:26:25I think I'll walk home.
00:26:28Get some air.
00:26:28Why not?
00:26:29Nothing can happen to you on a public street.
00:26:32I hope you're right.
00:26:35Goodbye, Gerald.
00:26:36Goodbye, old man.
00:27:01See?
00:27:02The beak, the nostrils.
00:27:04The whole formation of the body is the same.
00:27:06In sea law, the companion of ships
00:27:08and the good omen of honest mariners.
00:27:10But an angel of destruction to those who do him ill.
00:27:12The albatross.
00:27:14It looks the same.
00:27:15I wonder what it means.
00:27:16Are you certain that the albatross doesn't suggest
00:27:18some memory, some association with your family?
00:27:20Think.
00:27:21I am thinking.
00:27:22No, the only thing it reminds me of is the poem.
00:27:26Water, water everywhere.
00:27:28And all the boards did shrink.
00:27:31Water, water everywhere.
00:27:34Nor any drop to drink.
00:27:36You're pit on it.
00:27:38And instead of the cross,
00:27:41the albatross about my neck was hung.
00:27:45This is no childish prank, Miss Brandon,
00:27:47but a cryptic warning of avenging death.
00:27:49We must go to your brother at once.
00:27:50Holmes!
00:27:52Holmes!
00:27:52Come along, Watson, quick.
00:27:53But Holmes, this is important.
00:28:02Well, Watson, you're bursting with news.
00:28:03What is it, man?
00:28:04Speak up.
00:28:05We've no secrets from Miss Brandon.
00:28:07Moriarty.
00:28:08I knew it.
00:28:09What have you found out, Watson?
00:28:10That fellow Hunter is working with Moriarty.
00:28:12They were together in Hunter's office.
00:28:14I watched Moriarty leave.
00:28:15Excellent.
00:28:16And what did Mr. Hunter do then?
00:28:18I don't know.
00:28:19You don't know.
00:28:20Well, I came away directly to tell you what I discovered.
00:28:27Well, I learned something wrong?
00:28:28I hope not.
00:28:30I particularly wanted Mr. Hunter's movements kept in view today.
00:28:33So I?
00:28:34Mr. Holmes.
00:28:36Yes, Miss Brandon?
00:28:37Regardless of appearances, don't condemn Gerald too quickly.
00:28:40I know he's keeping some secret from me,
00:28:41but he could never do anything vicious, I'm sure of it.
00:28:45I trust you're right, Miss Brandon, but we must be on our guard.
00:28:47But I was going to say, Holmes, but...
00:28:50Well, what were you about to say, Watson?
00:28:54Not here.
00:28:58Watson.
00:28:59Yes?
00:29:01I'm afraid you're an incorrigible bungler.
00:29:07I am.
00:29:27Oh, Mr. Holmes, I wish he could go faster.
00:29:29He's going as fast as he can, my dear.
00:29:50Mm-hmm.
00:30:09You look at him.
00:30:12Let him practice.
00:30:13So Maroon will see you.
00:30:13This is big.
00:30:13Of course.
00:30:13Hello?
00:30:15I was inPlay.
00:30:38Oh, my God.
00:30:46Will we be in time?
00:30:47I'm sure we will, Miss Brampton.
00:30:57He's dead all right.
00:30:59Lloyd!
00:31:01Lloyd.
00:31:13Yes?
00:31:14Oh, Mr. Holmes.
00:31:15Could I give you an answer?
00:31:17No, thank you.
00:31:17I can manage all right.
00:31:22Oh, Miss Anne.
00:31:23She's only fainted.
00:31:24Take care of her, Willie Watson.
00:31:27Get me some smelling salts.
00:31:28Yes, sir.
00:31:29Where's Inspector Bristol?
00:31:30In there.
00:31:31I don't know you ought to go in.
00:31:32He's freshening a witness, and you know the inspector.
00:31:34I'll take the responsibility.
00:31:39Oh, it's you, Mr. Holmes.
00:31:41How do you come to be here?
00:31:43I just happen to be passing.
00:31:44I know the family.
00:31:45How are you, Mr. Hunter?
00:31:46And you, Inspector?
00:31:48I don't know how much you know about this business, Mr. Holmes.
00:31:51But this time, I'm a little bit ahead of you.
00:31:55Excellent, Bristol.
00:31:56Then you've already solved the crime?
00:31:58I found the murderer.
00:31:59Yes, but that's not quite the same thing, you know.
00:32:01I didn't kill Lloyd Brandon.
00:32:04Has anyone said you did?
00:32:05Oh, it's plain enough what's in the inspector's mind.
00:32:09And he's wrong.
00:32:10While he's wasted time badgering me, the murderer's got away.
00:32:12Well, if you're so anxious to save my time,
00:32:17supposing you explain how you came to be found bending over the corpse with this in your hand,
00:32:23and him with his head bashed in.
00:32:29Well, if you won't talk, I'm going to hold you on suspicion of murder.
00:32:35I didn't kill him, I tell you.
00:32:36You clubbed him to death with the butt end of this revolver from behind.
00:32:40I wouldn't go too far along that line, Inspector.
00:32:43Then what would you propose that I should do, Mr. Holmes?
00:32:46Find the murderer.
00:32:47What?
00:32:48If that man didn't club Lloyd Brandon to death, who did?
00:32:53Nobody.
00:32:54What?
00:32:55Brandon was strangled to death.
00:32:57Strangled?
00:32:58The wounds on the back of his head were administered post-mortem.
00:33:01Are you sure of that, Miss Rose?
00:33:03Absolutely.
00:33:04Talk to the medical examiner if you have any doubts.
00:33:08You wait here.
00:33:12How do you know he was strangled?
00:33:14The marks were on the neck.
00:33:15Cigarette, Mr. Hunter?
00:33:16No, thanks.
00:33:17So that blow on the back of the neck becomes an interesting element.
00:33:20It was unnecessary, therefore vicious.
00:33:23Intelligent criminals are seldom vicious except on special occasions.
00:33:29Though the apparent method of the crime was brutal,
00:33:31I'm convinced that the crime itself was intelligently planned.
00:33:35And Bristol thinks I did that.
00:33:37The nose of a police dog, although long and efficient,
00:33:40points in only one direction at a time.
00:33:42What do you mean?
00:33:43Simply that you're the obvious suspect.
00:33:46It's so ridiculous.
00:33:47Why should I want to kill him?
00:33:50You should know that better than anyone else, Mr. Hunter.
00:33:53You're his lawyer.
00:33:54You manage the estate.
00:33:57You'll have to explain that, Mr. Holmes.
00:33:59The Brandon estate is quite considerable.
00:34:02Miss Anne inherits, and you're about to marry Miss Anne.
00:34:04Why, you...
00:34:05I was merely demonstrating how the police mind works.
00:34:08Yes, I'm afraid our friend the inspector has quite set his heart on arresting you.
00:34:14Arresting me?
00:34:15Well, you mustn't allow them to do that, Mr. Holmes.
00:34:17I must be left free to protect Anne.
00:34:20From what, Gerald?
00:34:27Answer me.
00:34:33Anne, I'm sorry.
00:34:37First they murdered my father, and now they've murdered Lloyd.
00:34:44They're dead.
00:34:45Do they want to kill me too?
00:34:47I don't know.
00:34:50I don't know anything anymore.
00:34:51I did my best to guard him day and night, yet they found him all the same.
00:34:54They're in an empty street.
00:34:56Oh, I may have lost him for a moment, but I couldn't have been far behind.
00:35:01Who are they?
00:35:06Gerald, you're lying.
00:35:08You've been lying all the time.
00:35:10You knew from the first that nope was a real threat.
00:35:13That's why you tried to send me away.
00:35:14Why you followed Lloyd.
00:35:16Oh, Jerry, if you know who killed him, why won't you tell us?
00:35:18Why won't you tell us everything?
00:35:22I'll tell you why.
00:35:24I've been watching you, Mr. Hunter, and I found out that...
00:35:27What have you found out, Dr. Watson?
00:35:29Whatever Watson has found out, you'll know inevitably.
00:35:32I have unbounded confidence in his lack of discretion.
00:35:35Meanwhile, time presses, and we've worked to do outside before it gets too late.
00:35:38Mr. Holmes.
00:35:39Excuse us.
00:35:44You pushed me out of the room as if I were a child.
00:35:46What am I to make of this, Holmes?
00:35:48Anything but such a petulant face, old fellow.
00:35:50Come along.
00:35:51In another moment, I would have made you confess about Moriarty.
00:35:54That's exactly what I didn't want.
00:35:56If Moriarty's behind this case, Hunter will lead us to him.
00:35:59Almsdames, I was just coming to find you, sir.
00:36:01Have you seen the body?
00:36:02He was strangled to death, sir.
00:36:04Just as you and I thought.
00:36:07So now, I'm going to arrest this fellow Hunter.
00:36:10Take him down to the yard.
00:36:12I can really question him there.
00:36:14And I thought perhaps you'd like to come along, sir.
00:36:17No, I think not, Inspector.
00:36:18Dr. Watson and I are going across the way to take a look at the scene of the crime.
00:36:22You'll be wasting your time, sir.
00:36:23My men have already covered the ground.
00:36:25Well, we'll just take a look all the same.
00:36:27Incidentally, Inspector, if I were you, I shouldn't arrest Mr. Hunter.
00:36:31In any case, not now.
00:36:32And I shouldn't question him any further.
00:36:34Why not?
00:36:34Well, it won't get us anywhere.
00:36:35He won't talk until he's ready.
00:36:38And anyhow, you haven't a case against him yet.
00:36:41Why not leave him at large?
00:36:43Have him watched and see what happens.
00:36:45For a day or two at least.
00:36:46Hmm.
00:36:48You've always found my advice pretty sound, haven't you, Inspector?
00:36:51And it's got you a lot of attention in the newspapers.
00:36:54Then you work on the case, sir?
00:36:56In the usual way?
00:36:58In the usual way, Inspector.
00:37:00I'll do as you suggest, sir.
00:37:02Good.
00:37:02Come along, Watson.
00:37:10Come in.
00:37:13Oh, Mr. Hunter, we shan't be wanting you any longer.
00:37:17You're free to go whenever you like.
00:37:19Thank you, Inspector.
00:37:21You see, darling, they don't think anything of the kind.
00:37:25Anne, you must believe me.
00:37:33Oh, I...
00:37:35I don't know what to believe in now that Lloyd's gone.
00:37:38If I can't believe in you, Gerald, there's nothing in the whole world I can believe in or count on.
00:37:43And dearest.
00:37:49But if you knew Lloyd was in danger, why did you try to keep me from seeing Sherlock Holmes?
00:37:55Why did you follow Lloyd with a revolver in your pocket?
00:38:00Makes me afraid sometimes even of you.
00:38:05Darling, how can you say such a thing?
00:38:10Well, I don't know what I'm saying.
00:38:14I'm so tired and confused.
00:38:20All right, Holmes, I've found it.
00:38:30Ready when you are.
00:38:44I say there.
00:38:46There's something happened.
00:38:47Definitely, sir.
00:38:49Would you mind moving back a few places?
00:38:51Not at all.
00:38:57Perhaps I can find a doctor.
00:38:59I'm a doctor.
00:39:00What's the matter with you?
00:39:01I'm all right.
00:39:02I was thinking of you.
00:39:04Why?
00:39:07But...
00:39:07But aren't you ill?
00:39:09Certainly not.
00:39:11I'm dead.
00:39:16Well, I'm afraid I must be getting on.
00:39:19Don't let me detain you.
00:39:23Cupid Furrow.
00:39:26Watson!
00:39:27Come here!
00:39:29Coming, Holmes!
00:39:36Look at that, Watson.
00:39:39What have you found, Holmes?
00:39:41Footprints?
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:43A club-footed man.
00:39:44About five foot eleven, I should say.
00:39:46From the length of his stride.
00:39:48Do you observe anything singular about these footprints, Watson?
00:39:51I can't say that I do.
00:39:53Club-footed people invariably bring their full weight down on the toe.
00:39:56If you look closely, you'll observe that the weight of a man who made these footprints
00:39:58is normally balanced from toe to heel.
00:40:01What do you make of that, Holmes?
00:40:03Oh, just one more unnatural element in this rather peculiar case.
00:40:06The club-foot must have some other compensating deformity to explain these footprints.
00:40:11What? You think these are the footprints of a murderer?
00:40:13It's possible.
00:40:16Yes.
00:40:17Yes, it's quite possible.
00:40:19What, Holmes?
00:40:20Well, a man standing just about here would command a view of the path.
00:40:22He might, er, project some kind of weapon.
00:40:25But no other weapon's been found except Hunter's revolver.
00:40:27It could easily have been retrieved in the excitement.
00:40:29But what kind of weapon thrown from here could both strangle a man and crush his skull in?
00:40:33If we knew that, my dear Watson, we'd be a great deal nearer to the solution of the crime.
00:40:46Look at that.
00:40:48Yes.
00:40:50Yes, that was torn from that tree.
00:40:53Perhaps by something hurtling past.
00:40:56Perhaps by something hurtling past.
00:40:57That means it was torn off within the last few hours.
00:41:03Ah.
00:41:04What have you found, Holmes?
00:41:06It's a watch farm.
00:41:07Looks like a rabbit's foot.
00:41:09No, no, no.
00:41:10It's chinchilla.
00:41:11Unquestionably chinchilla.
00:41:12Well, rabbit or chinchilla, what's it matter?
00:41:15What?
00:41:15No, no.
00:41:16Perhaps it doesn't matter at all, Watson.
00:41:17We'll see.
00:41:18I've always thought those things in very poor taste.
00:41:21Fancy going about with a dead animal's foot dangling from your pocket.
00:41:25Yes.
00:41:25And then losing it at the scene of the murder.
00:41:27Very careless.
00:41:42What happened?
00:41:43Why did you know the right animal's foot down to theá»›t?
00:41:53Yes.
00:41:53Good luck.
00:41:54The realm and a thumb might less be M Wieckaw point.
00:41:54Ok.
00:41:57Yes, sir.
00:41:58Well you're done.
00:42:02Okay, Marco.
00:42:06All right, gente?
00:42:09Yeah, I'm done.
00:42:11En up to five years ago.
00:42:12Yeah, Eagle, Steve.
00:43:42She's in here, sir.
00:43:43Who is it?
00:43:44It's Mr. Holmes.
00:43:48Oh, Mr. Holmes, I'm so glad you're here.
00:43:51This may sound foolish to you, but after Mr. Hunter left, I went up to be with my brother.
00:43:57While I was with him, I... I heard...
00:44:00Yes?
00:44:01The sound of music from the street.
00:44:05Strange music.
00:44:06It didn't begin and... it didn't end.
00:44:09It just went on and on.
00:44:11What was it about the music that frightened you?
00:44:14I heard it once before, Mr. Holmes.
00:44:17Only once when I was a little girl in South America.
00:44:21The night my father was killed.
00:44:23It's quite possible that under the circumstances, this impression was a hallucination.
00:44:27This was no hallucination, Dr. Watson.
00:44:29Take my word for it.
00:44:31Did you see who was playing?
00:44:34I went to the window.
00:44:36There was a street beggar standing in front of the house.
00:44:39I could just see the outline of his figure.
00:44:42And then I became so frightened, I screamed and...
00:44:45Yes, I don't wonder.
00:44:53Do you think you could remember that, Melody?
00:44:55Remember it?
00:44:56I shall never forget it as long as I live.
00:44:59Miss Brandon, I wish I could spare you this, but time is so important.
00:45:02I understand. What do you want me to do?
00:45:04It's not going to be easy.
00:45:06Anything if it'll help you clear up my brother's death.
00:45:11Do you think you could bear to repeat it for me?
00:45:15I'll try.
00:45:51I'll try.
00:46:02There's death in every note of it.
00:46:08Mr. Holmes, would you mind going now, please?
00:46:10Yes, yes, of course.
00:46:12You must try to get some sleep.
00:46:13It's been a terrible day for you.
00:46:44Thank you, Billy.
00:46:54Thank you, Billy.
00:46:56What's that, Mr. Holmes?
00:46:58Hmm?
00:46:59That's a chinchilla foot, Billy.
00:47:02Chinchilla?
00:47:02Yes.
00:47:03Yes.
00:47:03You know what a chinchilla is.
00:47:05Yes, Mr. Holmes.
00:47:06It's a little animal that grows in South America.
00:47:08And its fur is very expensive.
00:47:10Ah, you should remember that, Billy.
00:47:11It'll save you a lot of money when you grow up.
00:47:14May I look at it, sir?
00:47:16Yes, yes, certainly, Billy.
00:47:20Well, what do you make of it, Billy?
00:47:22Blimey.
00:47:22I'd like to have one of these.
00:47:24They must bring you lots of luck.
00:47:25Well, why do you say that?
00:47:26Well, I bet in Chile or Bolivia, they carry around a chinchilla's foot for good luck.
00:47:31The same as we carry a rabbit's foot.
00:47:33You hear that, Watson?
00:47:34My hearing is in no way impaired, thank you.
00:47:38And you think that the man who lost this comes from Chile or Bolivia?
00:47:41Yes, sir.
00:47:41Because that's the only places chinchillas grow.
00:47:44There, Watson.
00:47:45What do you say to that for a simple deduction?
00:47:46I've listened to seashells that made better sense.
00:47:49Why do you waste your time like this, Holmes?
00:47:51Half the women in the world own chinchilla rats.
00:47:53You exaggerate, Watson.
00:47:54And half the women in the world wish you didn't.
00:47:56No, Dr. Watson.
00:47:57You see, they make the coats out of skins.
00:47:59Oh, really?
00:48:00Yes, sir.
00:48:01And the only place you could get a chinchilla's foot would be where the chinchilla lives.
00:48:05There, Billy.
00:48:06There's sixpence for you.
00:48:07Blimey.
00:48:07A ten.
00:48:08Oh, thank you.
00:48:09Oh, thank you, Billy.
00:48:13I don't know why you let that insufferable little brat come in here.
00:48:18Always pulling your leg, Watson.
00:48:21Merely relaying to you through Billy certain observations which may or may not coincide significantly with what I found.
00:48:27You found something?
00:48:28I think so.
00:48:30I've identified the death music, Watson.
00:48:32The melody Miss Brandon played for us last night.
00:48:35It's an ancient Inca funeral dirge.
00:48:38Still used by the Indians in the remote Chilean Andes as a chant for the dead.
00:48:42What on earth has that got to do with Professor Moriarty?
00:48:45Or the star of jelly?
00:48:47I wouldn't know, Watson.
00:48:48I really wouldn't know.
00:48:50Would you mind?
00:48:58Ah, how's it do, doctor?
00:48:59How are you, sir?
00:49:00Holmes, how lucky to find you at home.
00:49:02Sir Ronald.
00:49:03Well, won't you, uh, won't you sit down?
00:49:05Oh, thank you.
00:49:06Here you are, sir.
00:49:07Thanks.
00:49:09Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting you.
00:49:10Oh, no, no, no.
00:49:11Well, I'm very anxious to know.
00:49:12Have you had any idea in connection with that note?
00:49:16Uh, note?
00:49:17Oh, I'm afraid I haven't had much time to think about it.
00:49:19After all, the star of jelly is not an immediate problem.
00:49:22Oh, but it is.
00:49:23You will help me as you promised, won't you, Holmes?
00:49:25Imagine the scandal.
00:49:27If anything should happen to a crown jewel.
00:49:29Yes.
00:49:30Uh, when, um, when does it arrive?
00:49:32Tomorrow night.
00:49:33I've had to arrange for delivery at 10 o'clock.
00:49:35Most inconvenient hour for everyone, of course.
00:49:37But I can't leave the jewel out of the vault overnight, you know.
00:49:40Once it arrives, it's technically in my custody.
00:49:43Yes.
00:49:44Yes, I understand.
00:49:45Um, what do you want me to do?
00:49:47Well, could you possibly be at the tower tomorrow night at 10?
00:49:51Yeah, I'll take care of everything.
00:49:53Good.
00:49:53You'll have your own men there, of course.
00:49:54And as an added precaution, I'll see to it that a few policemen are on hand.
00:49:58Excellent.
00:49:59I can't tell you how grateful I am to you, Holmes.
00:50:01Not at all, Sir Ronald.
00:50:02Goodbye.
00:50:02Goodbye, sir.
00:50:03You'll forgive me bothering you like this, but I'm sure you understand the emergency of the matter.
00:50:07Certainly, Sir Ronald.
00:50:08Well, thank you again.
00:50:10Goodbye, Doctor.
00:50:10Goodbye, Sir Ronald.
00:50:11Goodbye.
00:50:21How do you do, Miss Brandon?
00:50:23How do you do?
00:50:23Will you excuse me, please?
00:50:26Hmm.
00:50:28Port Authority.
00:50:29Pier 9.
00:50:37Yes.
00:50:40Miss Brandon.
00:50:42Is anything wrong?
00:50:44Two are not enough.
00:50:47They don't even give me time to bury my dead.
00:50:52Please sit down.
00:50:53No, I don't want to sit down, thank you.
00:50:55This is exactly like the drawing your brother received.
00:50:57Only it bears another date.
00:50:59May the 13th.
00:51:00That's tomorrow.
00:51:00Was this left at your door?
00:51:02Yes, about half an hour ago.
00:51:03I came here directly.
00:51:04You didn't happen to notice the messenger who left it?
00:51:06No, one of the servants answered the door.
00:51:08He just took it.
00:51:09He didn't notice anything.
00:51:11Oh, Mr. Holmes, what shall I do?
00:51:14Isn't May the 13th the night you're supposed to go to Lady Conningham's party?
00:51:17Yes, but...
00:51:18I know Lady Conningham is irreproachable, but...
00:51:20But there's too much emphasis on this date, May the 13th.
00:51:23Whether you should go to the party or whether you shouldn't.
00:51:24You mean...
00:51:26Gerald?
00:51:27Miss Brandon, we feel that...
00:51:30Mr. Hunter has much to explain, Miss Brandon.
00:51:38But as yet he has not been proved guilty.
00:51:40But I must know.
00:51:41You really want to know?
00:51:44I must.
00:51:45I'll do anything rather than bear this uncertainty.
00:51:48This suspense.
00:51:50Then go to Lady Conningham's party.
00:51:53But...
00:51:55But I can't.
00:51:56Not now.
00:51:58After Lloyd.
00:51:59I understand your feelings, but you must go to Lady Conningham's just the same.
00:52:02She's an older woman.
00:52:03She's very fond of you.
00:52:04Now you're alone in a time of trouble.
00:52:06What more natural than that you should go to her?
00:52:09But she's giving a party.
00:52:11And...
00:52:11And my brother's...
00:52:12You'll only have to make an appearance.
00:52:14Yes, but...
00:52:15That's what I want, Miss Brandon.
00:52:17I want you to make an appearance.
00:52:19Perhaps take a walk through the grounds.
00:52:22I warn you, it may involve considerable risk.
00:52:24But I think the kind of woman I take you to be would rather risk everything on one venture than
00:52:28live the rest of her life in the shadow of doubt.
00:52:31And death.
00:52:33Am I right?
00:52:34You are right, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:36I'll do as you say.
00:52:39And goodbye.
00:52:40No.
00:52:40This time we'll say au revoir.
00:52:44Miss Brandon?
00:52:45Yes?
00:52:48Quite sure you're not afraid?
00:52:50Of course I'm afraid.
00:52:52But I'll go through with it.
00:52:53Good.
00:53:02May the 13th.
00:53:04That's tomorrow night.
00:53:05Well, Holmes, you've certainly let yourself in for a busy night tomorrow.
00:53:09What about the Star of Delhi and your promise to Sir Arnold?
00:53:12And what about your duty to the crown?
00:53:14All that will be taken care of.
00:53:15Never fear.
00:53:16I'm going to delegate the most dependable man I know to guard the Star of Delhi in my place.
00:53:20While I keep an eye on Miss Brandon.
00:53:21Oh, really?
00:53:22And who may that be?
00:53:24You, my dear fellow.
00:53:26Huh?
00:53:36You'd like to let that razor slip, wouldn't you, Dawes?
00:53:38No, sir.
00:53:39By no means, sir.
00:53:41You're a coward, Dawes.
00:53:45If you weren't a coward, you'd have cut my throat long ago.
00:53:47What?
00:53:48I give you my word, sir.
00:53:49That thought never entered my mind, sir.
00:53:54If you're worse than a coward, you're a fool.
00:53:57You have as much hatred for me as I have contempt for you.
00:54:04Excellent.
00:54:05Without your beard, sir, you look like your own son.
00:54:20I'll be back tonight, Dawes.
00:54:22We may as well take the evening off.
00:54:23Thank you, sir.
00:54:24Thank you, Dawes.
00:54:36I'm engaged.
00:54:37Of course you are, Bassick.
00:54:39Why do you think I'm paying you?
00:54:41I never would have recognized you, Professor.
00:54:55Yes, sir?
00:54:57What did you find out, Bassick?
00:54:58Just like you said.
00:54:59They're taking the goods off the boat tonight.
00:55:01The men is waiting.
00:55:03Excellent.
00:55:03Now let's hurry.
00:55:05Yes, sir.
00:55:14Excuse me.
00:55:15Hello, darling.
00:55:17Are you feeling all right, my child?
00:55:18Yes, I think so.
00:55:20And has that young son of mine been behaving himself?
00:55:22He's been awfully kind.
00:55:23I'm afraid I'm very tiresome this evening.
00:55:25Nonsense.
00:55:26No man on the bright side of senility could possibly call you tiresome.
00:55:32Ann, you're glad you came, aren't you?
00:55:34Very glad.
00:55:36Good.
00:55:37You see, I was right.
00:55:39It was quite the best thing for you to do, to come down here.
00:55:42You shouldn't have thought of staying alone in that house so soon after.
00:55:47Perhaps you're right.
00:55:49You're going to stay on here over the weekend.
00:55:51If you want me.
00:55:53As long as you like, my dear.
00:55:57Has anyone asked for me tonight?
00:55:59Why, no.
00:56:00Are you expecting someone?
00:56:02No, I'm not sure.
00:56:04It doesn't matter.
00:56:05Oh, mother.
00:56:06May I take Ann away?
00:56:07I wanted to see some of this entertainment.
00:56:09Of course, dear.
00:56:09I hope it will be good.
00:56:11Sit here, Ann.
00:56:13I want you to see this music hall, chap.
00:56:15He may be amusing.
00:56:20Everyone delights to spend their summer holiday
00:56:23Down beside the side of the Silvery Sea
00:56:28I'm no exception to the rule.
00:56:30In fact, divide my way
00:56:31I'd reside by the side of the Silvery Sea
00:56:35But when you're just the common or garden-smith
00:56:38Or Jones or Brown
00:56:39And business up in town
00:56:41You've got to settle down
00:56:43You save up all the money you can
00:56:45Till summer comes around
00:56:47Then away you go
00:56:49To a spot you know
00:56:52Where the cockle shells are found
00:56:56Oh, I
00:56:58Do like to be beside the seaside
00:57:02I do like to be beside the sea
00:57:06I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom
00:57:10Where the frost bear plays
00:57:12Ding, ding, ding, pong
00:57:13So just let me be beside the seaside
00:57:17I'll be beside myself with glee
00:57:20For there's lots of girls beside
00:57:23I should like to be beside
00:57:25Beside the seaside
00:57:27Beside the sea
00:57:39Funny fellow, isn't he?
00:57:40Yes
00:57:42Anne, I wish there was something I could do
00:57:45Could I get you an ice?
00:57:46You're very kind, Tony
00:57:47I'd like that
00:57:48Right, you stay here
00:57:50I'll see what I can pillage
00:57:51It'll be straight back
00:57:51Thank you
00:58:02Good evening, Miss Brandon
00:58:03Hope it's been all right
00:58:06What do you want?
00:58:08We did have an appointment, you know
00:58:09You did have an appointment, you know
00:58:17Mr. Holmes
00:58:25Do you think I could possibly be in danger here?
00:58:31There's no doubt of it
00:58:32But don't worry, I'll be watching
00:58:34I'll be glad when it's over
00:58:35Yes, I know
00:58:35Don't take any unnecessary risks
00:58:37Don't talk to strange people
00:58:39And above all
00:58:39Don't wander far from the lights and the crowd
00:58:41Now you must go back
00:58:42Good luck
00:59:05Here we are, Anne
00:59:06Oh, thank you
00:59:08Tony
00:59:09That's the South American gacha orchestra, isn't it?
00:59:12Yes, rather good, aren't they?
00:59:14Yes
00:59:16Shall we go in?
00:59:16Well, it's rather chilly out here
00:59:18Just as you like, Anne
00:59:29You're being too hard on Holmes, Sir Arnold
00:59:31He gave me his word he'd be here, sir
00:59:33He sent me in this place?
00:59:35You
00:59:36Well, sir
00:59:37I've been with Holmes on a good many cases
00:59:39And I can assure you
00:59:40You might have done considerably worse
00:59:42I do say you might have
00:59:44Where is these other policemen he promised to send me?
00:59:46They'll be here directly
00:59:47A sergeant and two policemen
00:59:48Picked men, sir
00:59:52What is the sergeant?
00:59:53Police officers to see Dr. Watson, sir
00:59:55Bring the men
00:59:57About time
01:00:01Dr. Watson here?
01:00:02Yes
01:00:03I am Dr. Watson
01:00:04Sergeant Bullfinch at your service, sir
01:00:06Good evening, sir
01:00:06May I see your identification, sir?
01:00:08I told you
01:00:09I am Dr. Watson
01:00:10I don't doubt that, sir
01:00:11But the inspector said I was to be particular about identification, sir
01:00:18Well, you seem to be a law-abiding citizen
01:00:20I suppose you'll be wanting to see mine
01:00:22Yes, please
01:00:30Everything seems in order, Sir Arnold?
01:00:41I am sorry
01:00:43Move
01:00:44Move
01:00:44Move
01:00:44Move
01:00:45Move
01:00:45Move
01:00:45Move
01:00:45Move
01:00:45Move
01:00:46Move
01:00:47Captain Manoring, Royal Navy
01:00:48With escort reporting to Sir Ronald Ramsgate
01:00:50Just a moment, sir
01:00:52Is that you, Sir Ronald?
01:01:04Well, here it is, Sir Ronald.
01:01:06The Star of Delhi.
01:01:10This has been a great anxiety to me, Captain Mannering.
01:01:13I can't tell you how relieved I should be
01:01:15when I have this jewel safely locked up in the tower.
01:01:18Would you like us to go with you, sir?
01:01:19No, there's no occasion. I have ample protection.
01:01:21Then I'll bid you goodbye, Sir Ronald.
01:01:23Goodbye, Captain Mannering.
01:01:23I'm most grateful to you.
01:01:26Thank you, sir.
01:01:26Gentlemen.
01:01:28All right, Captain Mildred.
01:01:29Guard!
01:01:30About turn!
01:01:31Take off!
01:01:39Hold!
01:02:00Hold!
01:02:01That's the longest short walk I ever had.
01:02:03Hold that for a moment, will you?
01:02:05The crown jewels, gentlemen.
01:02:07The accumulated wealth of ten centuries of English kings.
01:02:11A grave responsibility.
01:02:13It's not often this door is unlocked,
01:02:15and this is the key to all this treasure.
01:02:20Now!
01:02:21Help!
01:02:22Help!
01:02:23Help!
01:02:25Help!
01:02:25Help!
01:02:27Help!
01:02:29Help!
01:02:29Help!
01:02:30Help!
01:02:35The Emerald!
01:02:36Where is it?
01:02:37Come!
01:02:37I told you something has snatched you!
01:02:38The policemen!
01:02:39Where are they?
01:02:39They're not policemen at all.
01:02:40After them!
01:02:44Sergeant, the stairs, Captain.
01:02:49Sir Ronald, look!
01:02:53The Star of Deadly.
01:02:55They dropped!
01:02:58You see, Sir Ronald?
01:03:00Everything's turned out all right after all.
01:03:02Small thanks to your brilliant friend, Sherlock Holmes.
01:03:04So my fears were ridiculous,
01:03:05and that note was merely the work of a crank.
01:03:07Nobody would steal the Star of Deadly.
01:03:10No one there, Sir Ronald.
01:03:11Never mind, Sergeant.
01:03:12I have the juror.
01:03:16I have a good mind to give this story to the press.
01:03:19It would put Holmes in his place.
01:03:21Oh, I wouldn't do that, Sir Ronald.
01:03:22You have got the jewel back.
01:03:24I have indeed.
01:03:25As safe as the crown jewels of England.
01:03:27But no thanks to Holmes.
01:03:29Well, he did send me in his place.
01:03:31Yes, sir, the capital thing he did.
01:03:33You're a splendid fellow, Watson.
01:03:35You've done me a great service tonight.
01:03:37I shall see to it that your conduct is reported
01:03:39in due course to the proper authority.
01:03:42So long, Sergeant.
01:03:44Turn out the light.
01:03:44Yes, sir.
01:03:45They got away, sir, from the direction of Tower Hill.
01:03:48But they left what they came for.
01:03:49The emerald is safe.
01:03:51Oh, good, sir.
01:03:52All right, Doctor.
01:04:42Good-bye, my dear.
01:04:43I'll drive over and see you tomorrow.
01:04:47You're terribly tired, my child, aren't you?
01:04:49Yes, I am.
01:04:50You'd better go to bed.
01:04:52I'm going to look in on you later.
01:04:53And if you're not asleep, I shall be very severe.
01:04:59Whatever is the matter with you, my dear?
01:05:02I just noticed the time.
01:05:04That clock on the landing.
01:05:06Seven minutes to twelve.
01:05:08In another eight minutes, it won't be May the 13th anymore.
01:05:11You must go to bed at once.
01:05:12You really must.
01:05:13I'll go with you.
01:05:14I'd like you to.
01:05:16Only, I shouldn't take you away.
01:05:18Nonsense.
01:05:19They've all gone.
01:05:19Besides, no one misses a middle-aged hostess.
01:05:28Have a good rest, my dear, and be sure to sleep late.
01:05:30It's an inviolable custom of the house.
01:05:33I'll try.
01:05:34Good night.
01:05:35Good night, my dear.
01:05:50Good night.
01:06:02Good night.
01:06:48I'm just coming to find you, Miss Brandon.
01:06:50There's a gentleman on the terrace asking to see you, and he says it's most important.
01:06:54Mr. Holmes, thank you.
01:07:09Ann, my dear.
01:07:10What are you doing here?
01:07:12Am I so unwelcome, then?
01:07:13Why did you come?
01:07:15I've been terribly worried about you, darling.
01:07:17I wanted to be sure you were safe.
01:07:18Why did you think I might not be safe?
01:07:23Ann, whatever has come over you.
01:07:24Don't touch me.
01:07:26Don't touch me.
01:07:27Surely you're not afraid of me.
01:07:31You are afraid.
01:07:33That's how much all the years have counted.
01:07:35You think I want to hurt you?
01:07:39I don't know why I don't.
01:07:47Ann, wait.
01:07:48Come here, Ann.
01:07:50Come here.
01:07:58Oh.
01:08:02Oh.
01:08:06Oh.
01:08:13Oh.
01:08:29Oh, my God.
01:08:55Come along this way, quick.
01:09:14Come on.
01:09:28Come on.
01:09:32Come on.
01:09:34Come on.
01:09:38Help!
01:10:11Come on!
01:10:11Holmes, are you all right?
01:10:12Never better, Watson.
01:10:13And Miss Brandon?
01:10:13She'll be all right, poor child. She's fainted.
01:10:15Look after her, will you, Andrews, and take her back to the house.
01:10:17Very good, Mr. Holmes.
01:10:18What on earth is this, Holmes?
01:10:19This Watson is a South American bolus,
01:10:21the instrument that killed Lloyd Brandon.
01:10:23What?
01:10:23Yes. Come and take a look at his murderer.
01:10:36He's badly hurt.
01:10:37Can he be moved, doctor?
01:10:39Yes.
01:10:39Then I'll take him to the yard.
01:10:45Yes, it's just as I suspected.
01:10:48This club footage shoe was a very clever device,
01:10:50but not quite clever enough, my friend.
01:10:52I'll wager you didn't think of it yourself.
01:10:54Who put you up to it?
01:10:55The professor.
01:10:56He said he fixed it so I don't get caught.
01:10:59Professor Moriarty.
01:11:00Si, Moriarty.
01:11:02I killed him.
01:11:03I scarcely think you'll have the chance now.
01:11:06So that clears up our case.
01:11:08Clears it up.
01:11:09We've only just begun.
01:11:09Come along, Watson.
01:11:10Moriarty.
01:11:40I've just got to go home, isn't he?
01:11:42Shh. Don't move.
01:11:45Stay with you, and keep your eyes open.
01:12:20All right, come on, Watson. There's nobody here.
01:12:22Well, why didn't you say so before?
01:12:30Oh, lillipon.
01:12:31Oh, lillipon.
01:12:33Oh, lillipon.
01:12:33Oh, lillipon.
01:12:34Oh, lillipon.
01:12:38Oh, lillipon.
01:12:38It's damp.
01:12:39Damp? l'm wet through.
01:12:41He's been shaving.
01:12:43Moriarty's worn that beard for years. Why would he shave it off?
01:12:45To disguise himself, of course.
01:12:47Oh, obviously, Watson, but why tonight especially? For what purpose?
01:12:50Huh?
01:12:57Now, Pegdecker.
01:12:59What would Moriarty be doing with a guidebook?
01:13:01There's London like a cab driver.
01:13:06Look, Watson, look.
01:13:07The town of London.
01:13:10Sergeant Bullfitch.
01:13:11Moriarty without his beard.
01:13:12Then he stole the emerald.
01:13:14I wonder exactly what he did do.
01:13:16Or rather, is doing.
01:13:17What do you mean, Holmes?
01:13:18Don't you see, my dear Watson?
01:13:20Moriarty cocted that Brandon case with all its fantastic convolutions expressly to divert my attention at the time the Star
01:13:25of Delhi was delivered.
01:13:26So that he could steal the emerald. Well, he didn't get it. We fooled him.
01:13:29That's exactly the point, Watson. He didn't want the Star of Delhi.
01:13:32What?
01:13:33No.
01:13:34The real crime has not yet come to light.
01:13:36He caused a man to be murdered solely in order to distract me.
01:13:39He staged that fiasco at the Tower of London.
01:13:41Why, I don't know, but of one thing I'm certain. It was all done with a purpose.
01:13:44Somewhere in London at this very moment something tremendous is happening.
01:13:47He said he was going to do it, and he's doing it now.
01:13:50The most stupendous, the most incredible crime of the century.
01:13:53The crowning act of his career.
01:13:56The crowning act.
01:13:59Crowning.
01:14:01St. Edward's crown.
01:14:03This was the crown stolen from the Tower of London in 1671 by Colonel Blood and his accomplices.
01:14:09The total value of the regalia is estimated at three million pounds.
01:14:14Watson, the crown jewels! We're wasting time!
01:14:25Oi!
01:14:26Cabin!
01:14:26Never mind, get in Watson.
01:14:29Bones!

01:15:22Don't. Turn up!
01:15:28What is it, Mackenzie?
01:15:29An accident, Sergeant.
01:15:35Give me a hand. Get this man out of here.
01:15:44Well, what were you trying to do?
01:15:45Batter your way right into the Tower of London?
01:15:47Of course not. Of course not. Preposterous.
01:15:48Well, what were you doing?
01:15:49Well, I was riding a cabbie.
01:15:51A cabbie?
01:15:52Wait, is this a cabbie?
01:15:53Well, where is he?
01:15:54I don't know. I haven't the faintest idea.
01:15:56Bring him along to the Pasten Room.
01:15:57Well.
01:16:41Well, I don't know.
01:16:44Let's go.
