When a number of attractive women are found dead and with fingers missing, Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) investigate. Though evidence points to a psychotic killer, Holmes begins to believe that there's more to the case than initially meets the eye, a notion that leads him to uncover the involvement of his archenemy, Professor Moriarty (Henry Daniell). Who is working with Moriarty on such a dastardly plot, and what are their motives?

00:00:00THE END
00:00:39The End
00:01:12I won't forget that morning, not if I left to be a hundred.
00:01:15I counted the men as they marched out of the yard.
00:01:18They'd hardly slept for weeks.
00:01:20We at the CID had slept even less,
00:01:22but the nightmare that kept us awake was all the same nightmare.
00:01:27That's why we weren't surprised
00:01:29when the Commissioner asked us up to the conference room
00:01:31for a bit of a talk.
00:01:32He'd talked to us plenty, we knew that.
00:01:35It didn't help any to know what was ahead of us.
00:01:45Must we have that window open, Gregson?
00:01:47Oh, shut it if you want to.
00:01:49See if we'll be in enough of a temper
00:01:51without having a ruddy blast down the back of his neck.
00:01:59Gentlemen, the Commissioner.
00:02:04Stuffy in here.
00:02:09Be seated, won't you?
00:02:12Gentlemen, if you wish to know what able men you are,
00:02:15read any of the works of popular fiction
00:02:17that glamorize your achievements,
00:02:19but don't, I beg of you, read the daily papers.
00:02:23They might give you an inferiority complex.
00:02:27I hate to mention it,
00:02:30but we're confronted with a series
00:02:31of the most atrocious murders since Jack the Ripper.
00:02:35And in the meantime,
00:02:36the CID might as well be playing at shove-hapenay
00:02:40for all the good we've accomplished.
00:02:43Now look.
00:02:46Here, here, and here.
00:02:50Each of these red flags scattered through the city
00:02:52stands for a woman brutally murdered,
00:02:55a woman's terror,
00:02:56a woman's death agony.
00:02:58These are no ordinary crimes.
00:03:01These are the works of a fiend
00:03:02who kills first and mutilates afterwards.
00:03:05A ghoul who hacks off a part of his victim body
00:03:08and carries it away with him,
00:03:10a loathsome souvenir of his butchery.
00:03:13Three women murdered so far,
00:03:15and you haven't turned in one clue.
00:03:18You haven't given me one lead.
00:03:21Here you sit and wait for news of a fourth victim
00:03:24with your arms folded.
00:03:32Well, we hadn't long to wait.
00:03:34It was down Lambeth Way
00:03:35where a young woman was hurrying home late last night.
00:03:37She saw something and stopped.
00:03:41It was a constable.
00:03:42He spoke to her,
00:03:44and he walked along with her,
00:03:45just in case.
00:03:49He saw her go down the stairway
00:03:50to the basement lodging where she lived.
00:03:53We can only surmise what happened after that.
00:04:10Well, I put my pride in my pocket
00:04:12and went to see the man
00:04:13who'd so often helped out
00:04:14Inspector Lestrade and myself in the past,
00:04:18Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:04:25If ever a man needed help,
00:04:28I did.
00:04:35This makes four, Inspector.
00:04:38Four defenseless women
00:04:39here in the heart of London.
00:04:41And everyone with the right forefinger hacked off.
00:04:43Not hacked, Inspector Gregson.
00:04:47Cleanly, expertly severed.
00:04:50The work of a skilled surgeon.
00:04:52That's her only clue.
00:04:53Much about the age of my sister's girl.
00:04:56Is there no way of stopping this, Mr. Holmes?
00:04:59Yes.
00:05:01There's a way, somehow.
00:05:04The fiend that did this.
00:05:07I promise.
00:05:08I promise.
00:05:09We've nothing to go on.
00:05:10That's the rotten part of it.
00:05:12We can't get far without knowing the motive.
00:05:14Well, at least we know what the motives were not.
00:05:16It wasn't robbery.
00:05:17Nor passion, thanks be.
00:05:18Nor yet vengeance.
00:05:19Because they all came of totally unrelated families.
00:05:21Steady, Inspector.
00:05:22Steady.
00:05:24Sorry, Mr. Holmes.
00:05:26I don't turn a hair when it's a bloke
00:05:27that can look after himself.
00:05:29A little slip of a thing like that.
00:05:31Yes, it's horrible.
00:05:32Come on, let's get a drink.
00:05:55Good evening, Mr. Holmes.
00:05:56Evening, Vincent.
00:05:57Miss Quincella, please.
00:05:57And a double for my friend here, Inspector Gregson.
00:05:59Thank you, sir.
00:06:00Eggvine Irish.
00:06:01At least nobody to give me a hand with this thing, Mr. Holmes.
00:06:04Always a pleasure to be of help to Scotland, Guard Inspector.
00:06:06A little out of my line.
00:06:07I'm looking for a maniac.
00:06:09The murder's just for the fun of a...
00:06:12Or perhaps just to get a human finger.
00:06:18In all four cases,
00:06:20the murderer risk capture
00:06:22by stopping to secure a finger.
00:06:27What about four?
00:06:29Who knows?
00:06:30He's just a madman.
00:06:32Perhaps there's method in his madness.
00:06:35If we could just trace those missing fingers.
00:06:37See, if...
00:06:38If we could just drag the English channel,
00:06:40we might find a penny.
00:06:42Huh?
00:06:42Huh.
00:06:43Oh, thank you.
00:06:46You may get those, Mr. Holmes.
00:06:54Sir George Fenwick, isn't he?
00:06:55Yes.
00:06:56Is that his daughter with him?
00:06:58Don't be so naive, Inspector.
00:07:01You know everyone, don't you, darling?
00:07:03Well, hardly.
00:07:06A week ago, I didn't know you.
00:07:07A week.
00:07:08How fast it's gone.
00:07:23I collect these things.
00:07:24How very quaint are you.
00:07:26Shall we go?
00:07:27Yes.
00:07:32What are you looking at, Mr. Holmes?
00:07:35Looking at a very handsome woman.
00:07:37Not born to the purple,
00:07:39but giving an excellent imitation.
00:07:41Would you like to come to my flat for a nightcap?
00:07:43Lovely idea.
00:07:44Yes, isn't it?
00:07:52I wonder where she's taking Sir George Fenwick.
00:07:55Don't be so...
00:07:56naive, Mr. Holmes.
00:08:12I'm happy.
00:08:15I don't know.
00:08:37I am.
00:08:39I don't know.
00:08:55Good evening, ma'am.
00:08:56Hello, Crandon. Any messages?
00:08:57No, ma'am.
00:09:03Drinks, Crandon. One of your nice surprises.
00:09:05Yes, ma'am.
00:09:05I say, you don't mean that...
00:09:07Crandon's a marvel.
00:09:08Aren't you, Crandon?
00:09:09Yes, ma'am.
00:09:10You wouldn't believe the things she can do.
00:09:14Ah, charming place. Delightful.
00:09:17Really? Do you think so? I'm so glad.
00:09:20Do you sit down.
00:09:22Do you mind?
00:09:24Do I mind?
00:09:25What a question.
00:09:28I don't mind anything, really.
00:09:31Except not being with you.
00:09:33Now, you really don't want me to believe that, do you?
00:09:35Not too seriously.
00:09:36Good. We're both quite grown-up, aren't we?
00:09:39Quite.
00:09:47You're a treasure, Crandon.
00:09:54And lower the lights a little as you leave.
00:10:03I prefer a more flattering light.
00:10:06In any light, you'd be...
00:10:07Would I?
00:10:09And don't you know it?
00:10:11Perhaps I do.
00:10:21Oh, that priceless woman.
00:10:23You wouldn't believe it, but she's absurdly romantic.
00:10:26She loves dreamy music, and she thinks that we...
00:10:29But, uh, we do, don't we?
00:10:32Do we?
00:10:33Well, it's rather soothing.
00:10:36Restful.
00:10:36Yes.
00:10:38And we all need rest at times.
00:10:41Like tired children who've played too long.
00:10:45You've played with wooden soldiers, I suppose.
00:10:48Hmm.
00:10:49Funny.
00:10:50Hadn't thought of that for years.
00:10:52Toy boats were my special joy.
00:10:55Anything I could set afloat anywhere.
00:10:58Like this.
00:11:00And this.
00:11:03Toy boats sailing into the never-never land.
00:11:06The land of beautiful dreams.
00:11:09Look.
00:11:11Look, odd isn't it how the light is reflected.
00:11:16Little specks of light that move and move.
00:11:20Like stars on a slowly moving stream.
00:11:24You know, Holmes, I'm very sensitive to atmosphere.
00:11:27Oh?
00:11:27Yes, I can tell by the feel of this room there's been a murder committed here.
00:11:30It may interest you to know, my dear fellow,
00:11:32it was the other side of that door at the foot of the stairs that the poor girl was murdered.
00:11:35If only I could find it.
00:11:36Find what?
00:11:38The one thing these unfortunate victims have in common
00:11:40that might give us a motive for these murders.
00:11:42There must be something.
00:11:44Another Jack the Ripper, if you ask me, a homicidal maniac.
00:11:46No, Watson.
00:11:47In the case of Jack the Ripper, there was one thing in common.
00:11:49His victims were all from one walk of life, living in the same section of the city.
00:11:52In this case, the murderer chooses his victims from all walks of life
00:11:55and from different sections of the city.
00:11:57Now, my dear fellow, this is not the work of a homicidal maniac.
00:12:01It's something infinitely more sinister.
00:12:03You mean the creeps?
00:12:04What on earth are you talking about?
00:12:05Watson.
00:12:05Watson, I'm convinced that these murders are only incidental
00:12:09to some larger and more diabolical scheme.
00:12:12That may be, but why the severed fingers?
00:12:14The answer to that question, my dear fellow,
00:12:15is our only hope of solving these mysteries.
00:12:17Dear sister, I am so happy I had such a lovely holiday at Brighton with you and Alf.
00:12:22And I'm looking forward to being with you again.
00:12:25Poor little thing.
00:12:26It sort of raises a lump in your throat.
00:12:29I can picture her sitting here happily writing this letter
00:12:31and I'm not bitter realising that she's shortly going to her death.
00:12:36Hello?
00:12:37Gregson.
00:12:42Oh, there you are, Mr. Holmes.
00:12:43I've been looking for you everywhere.
00:12:44What's happened?
00:12:45Murder in Edgeway Road, not half an hour ago.
00:12:47Woman?
00:12:47Yes.
00:12:48And the right forefinger cut off clean.
00:12:49The right forefinger cut off clean.
00:13:25Papers, horrible murder, murder in the end of the road,
00:13:32we all about the murder, horrible murder of a young woman.
00:13:39Get your papers, horrible murder, paper, all about the murder.
00:13:47Morning, paper, all about the murder, paper, horrible murder.
00:13:54Tell the young woman found murder, paper, sir, horrible murder, paper, paper, read all about it.
00:14:04Get your paper, murder in the end of the road, horrible finger murder.
00:14:13Shocking murder, murder in the end of the road, horrible murder of a young woman.
00:14:23All about the murder.
00:14:30Only fancy, Mum.
00:14:32There's been another of those horrible murders.
00:14:34Dear, dear, how shocking.
00:14:36Yes, Mum.
00:14:37I really don't feel quite safe here myself.
00:14:42Oh, dear.
00:14:54Why, Sir George!
00:14:55I must see Miss Marlowe at once.
00:14:56I don't know if she...
00:14:57I must see her. Where is she?
00:15:02Lydia.
00:15:04Why, Sir George.
00:15:06What is it? What happened?
00:15:07I don't know.
00:15:08You'll have to help me.
00:15:09You've got to help me.
00:15:10But I don't understand.
00:15:12Listen.
00:15:13I woke up a few minutes ago
00:15:15in a cheap boarding house
00:15:17off Edgware Road.
00:15:18I don't know how I came there.
00:15:20I don't know when.
00:15:21The last thing I remember is being here with you.
00:15:22Calm yourself, Sir George.
00:15:24When did I leave here?
00:15:26Well, it was about, uh...
00:15:29Uh, it was 10.45, Mum.
00:15:31Precisely.
00:15:34You seemed, uh...
00:15:36Forgive me.
00:15:37Just a little distressed.
00:15:39Detached.
00:15:40Not interested.
00:15:41I thought I'd said something to offend you.
00:15:44I don't remember.
00:15:52I can't remember.
00:15:54Tell me.
00:15:55Has this happened to you before?
00:15:57Before?
00:15:59Well, there is such a thing as amnesia, you know.
00:16:03If it was 10.45 when I left you.
00:16:06It was 9 this morning when I woke.
00:16:09Over 10 hours lost.
00:16:1310 hours that I can't account for.
00:16:16And in my pocket when I woke, I found...
00:16:18Yeah, in my pocket.
00:16:22That... that... that isn't...
00:16:23Oh, it's not for you, of course.
00:16:25It can't be.
00:16:28Excuse me, Mum.
00:16:29But there's a man asking to see the gentleman.
00:16:32Send him away.
00:16:33Yes, Mum.
00:16:34No, no, no, no.
00:16:35No, please.
00:16:36I'll see him.
00:16:45Well?
00:16:47Delightful room.
00:16:49Not much like the place you woke up in this morning.
00:16:52You followed me here?
00:16:54Yes.
00:16:56Are you, uh...
00:16:57a detective?
00:16:58Oh, no.
00:17:00Quite the contrary.
00:17:02Don't be afraid, Sir George.
00:17:04You know my name.
00:17:05Oh, yes.
00:17:06A very old and highly honoured name.
00:17:09And being the bearer of such a name,
00:17:11and also a very wealthy man,
00:17:13I thought...
00:17:15you might care to possess yourself with this trifle.
00:17:20Rather than let it fall into the hands of the police.
00:17:23It is yours, if I'm not mistaken.
00:17:25The initials, GF.
00:17:30Where did you get this?
00:17:31It came out of your pocket.
00:17:34I saw it fall, but you never noticed.
00:17:39You were very busy, bending over something, with a knife.
00:17:48Then you put something in your pocket.
00:17:59Come along, Holmes, come along, come along.
00:18:01How many more times, must I tell you?
00:18:03You're missing a treat.
00:18:04This is delicious.
00:18:05A little jam tarts to follow.
00:18:07Aren't you tempted?
00:18:11You and your flesh, Potts.
00:18:15They tell me that the fish is good for the brains.
00:18:19Brains haven't any.
00:18:21You realise that a day, a whole day and a night have gone by
00:18:24since that best of affair in Edgewell Road?
00:18:26I'm as much in the dark as ever.
00:18:35Well, here comes a client, unless I'm very much mistaken.
00:18:47Well, attractive.
00:18:48Very attractive.
00:18:55Obviously, she left home under the stress of some very great emotion.
00:18:58How do you know that?
00:18:59She isn't wearing any gloves.
00:19:00A startling omission on a young lady of fashion.
00:19:02No, she didn't put her coat on.
00:19:04Open car, too.
00:19:10Furthermore, there's something in that bag she wants to show me.
00:19:13What makes you say that?
00:19:14The bag doesn't match her dress.
00:19:16Indicating it was picked for size rather than style.
00:19:19To accommodate some bulky object.
00:19:22You're amazed, Mayor Holmes.
00:19:23Well, I'll mention, my dear fellow.
00:19:30Well, that's interesting.
00:19:31What is?
00:19:33A cab.
00:19:35Turning up the empty house.
00:19:40I wonder why he followed her here.
00:19:41Oh, wouldn't you?
00:19:43Bye, Pastor.
00:19:43We'll do the glasses.
00:20:02Well, we shall soon know.
00:20:03Yes, Mrs. Hudson?
00:20:07It's a young lady, sir.
00:20:08Most urgent.
00:20:09Ask her to come in.
00:20:10Go right in, miss.
00:20:15Mr. Holmes?
00:20:15Yes, this is my friend, Dr. Watson.
00:20:17How do you do?
00:20:18How do you do?
00:20:18Mr. Holmes, I...
00:20:19You must excuse me, please.
00:20:21I...
00:20:21Yes, well, won't you sit down?
00:20:23Come along.
00:20:24May I?
00:20:25It's quite all right.
00:20:38Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes, you're with friends.
00:20:39You know my name?
00:20:40No magic, I assure you.
00:20:42I've often seen your picture.
00:20:43You're the daughter of Sir George, Fennick, aren't you?
00:20:45Yes.
00:20:46It's about my father that I...
00:20:49What about your father, Miss Fennick?
00:20:50Oh, I don't know what to do.
00:20:53He's always been the nicest, dearest person.
00:20:57Only since Mother died.
00:20:59Yes, yes, Mother.
00:21:00We know.
00:21:02So I didn't think anything of it when he was away all night before last.
00:21:06But he didn't come home until yesterday at tea time.
00:21:08He didn't come in for dinner at all.
00:21:10Just paced up and down in the library hour after hour.
00:21:14I begged him to let me in, but he wouldn't.
00:21:17Steady, steady.
00:21:19Now take your time.
00:21:21I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
00:21:23Then I started hearing things.
00:21:26Hearing things?
00:21:27What sort of things?
00:21:28I heard someone in the garden underneath my window.
00:21:33Then I saw a figure moving down the garden path.
00:21:36And I recognized my father stealing through his own garden like a thief.
00:21:46He had a spade in his hand.
00:21:48And he stopped by the greenhouse where he started to dig.
00:21:54This morning, at daybreak, I stole onto the garden and found this.
00:22:07A finger.
00:22:08A human finger.
00:22:10Bring up Scotland Yard, Willie Watson.
00:22:13Ask him to get hold of Inspector Gregson and tell him to meet us once at George Fenwick's house, Kingston.
00:22:18Operator, get Miss Scotland Yard quick.
00:22:24Where's my father, Norris?
00:22:25He's still in the library, Miss.
00:22:26We'll see him right away.
00:22:27Will you come with me, please?
00:22:29I got your message, Mr. Holmes.
00:22:31Yes, indeed.
00:22:35Dad, may I come in?
00:22:39Dad.
00:22:41That's funny.
00:22:44He doesn't answer.
00:22:46Do you mind?
00:22:47Please do.
00:22:51Watson, quick.
00:22:52Come along, my dear.
00:22:52No, no, no.
00:22:53Take charge of Miss Fenwick, please.
00:22:54No, no, sir.
00:22:54Now, Miss, please.
00:22:55Please come along with me.
00:23:02Dead?
00:23:03Yes.
00:23:07What do you make of it, Doctor?
00:23:09Shot in the back, between the second and third ribs.
00:23:11The bullet undoubtedly penetrated the heart.
00:23:14Look at the powder marks on his coat.
00:23:15I was afraid of this.
00:23:17What do you mean?
00:23:18Don't you remember the man in the cab who followed Miss Fenwick to Baker Street?
00:23:20Well, you don't think he had anything to do with it, do you?
00:23:22I think it's reasonable to assume that he tipped off someone that I'd been sent for.
00:23:26Sir George has obviously been murdered to keep him from telling me what he knew.
00:23:30What was the weapon used?
00:23:31Small caliber revolver.
00:23:33Point-blank range.
00:23:34Point-blank range by the look of the wound.
00:23:36The murderer came in through those French windows.
00:23:38The mud from the garden he brought in on his boots.
00:23:41Sir George must have surprised the intruder to pass the room to him here.
00:23:47What follows, we can't tell.
00:23:49But from the location of the wound, I'd say that he turned his back for a moment, and as he
00:23:53turned,
00:23:54the muzzle of the revolver was placed between his ribs and one muffled shot fired.
00:23:58And you mean to say he kept on going, even after he was shot?
00:24:01There's no doubt about it.
00:24:02Look there.
00:24:04The trail of blood leads us back to the desk.
00:24:07There's something Sir George was after.
00:24:12Something.
00:24:13I know, he was trying to summon help, Poacher.
00:24:16I don't think so, Watson.
00:24:17There's the bell pulled by the fireplace.
00:24:19Now, you'll notice from the trail of blood, that Sir George made straight for this desk here.
00:24:25I wonder, there was something he was desperately anxious to get.
00:24:33I wonder, there was something he was trying to do with the desk, but the left hand lies open.
00:24:37Why only one hand clenched in the death agony, the right hand, the hand nearest the desk.
00:24:42Please note that.
00:24:43If Sir George took something off this desk, something so important that he spilled his last drop of blood to
00:24:49get it,
00:24:49I want to know what it is.
00:25:04There's nothing but an ordinary match folder.
00:25:06Well, where does that lead us?
00:25:10I imagine to something very important, Gregson.
00:25:12This match folder's from Pembroke House.
00:25:14Why shouldn't it be?
00:25:15He was there, you know.
00:25:17We saw him yesterday.
00:25:18Yes, but the effort he made after he was shot to get hold of this match folder.
00:25:23It's just possible he wanted someone to remember Pembroke House.
00:25:29You may have wished to recall it to someone who saw it there.
00:25:32Someone who, like ourselves, saw him with a woman.
00:25:51Come in.
00:25:53Oh, Dr. Watson, this came by hand for Mr. Holmes, not ten minutes ago.
00:25:58Thank you, Mrs. Edson.
00:26:01That would be the report from Mr. George's bank.
00:26:04Report from Mr. George's bank.
00:26:06Oh, really?
00:26:07Don't you remember his daughter told us that he'd just closed his account?
00:26:10Had he looked into it once.
00:26:15Hmm.
00:26:17He drew out his entire balance in cash, nearly 10,000 pounds, yesterday,
00:26:22just after that young woman was murdered.
00:26:24What does that suggest to you, Watson?
00:26:26Well, he paid it out to someone.
00:26:27Precisely.
00:26:28I smell the faint, sweet odour of blackmail.
00:26:31You don't think he paid it out to someone who saw him murder the McLean woman?
00:26:34Sir George never murdered anyone.
00:26:35But he did have that woman's finger,
00:26:37and he emptily did have a lot of, and pay out a lot of cash.
00:26:39That's the terrifying part about blackmail, Watson.
00:26:43The victim is afraid to fight the accusation, no matter how false.
00:26:46Once the accusation is made,
00:26:48his name is smeared,
00:26:50and sometimes his life is ruined.
00:26:53Well, Sir George didn't commit these murders.
00:26:56What fiend did?
00:26:57I rather think they're not the work of any one man.
00:27:00Oh, come, Holmes.
00:27:01You don't expect me to believe there's a whole organisation
00:27:03going about killing people and chopping off their fingers?
00:27:06No, it's possible, quite possible.
00:27:09Well, whoever's behind all this thing must be out of his mind.
00:27:12On the contrary, my dear fellow.
00:27:13If my assumptions are correct, this little scheme has behind it
00:27:16the most brilliant and ruthless intellect the world has ever known.
00:27:19You don't mean Professor Moriarty?
00:27:21I do.
00:27:22Oh, steady, Holmes.
00:27:22You've got him on the brain.
00:27:23This is a third time in as many months
00:27:25you've suspected him of unsolved crimes.
00:27:27He's dead, you know.
00:27:28Is he?
00:27:29Is he?
00:27:29You know he is.
00:27:30He was hanged in Montevideo all over a year ago.
00:27:33I know that someone was hanged in Montevideo under that name.
00:27:36But I'll stake my reputation that Moriarty is alive
00:27:39and here, now in London.
00:27:46Hello?
00:27:47Yes, but Dr. Watson, wait a minute.
00:27:49Who, me?
00:27:52Hello, yes?
00:27:54This is Dr. Watson speaking.
00:27:56No, no, I'm afraid I've retired.
00:27:58I don't practise any more.
00:27:59What?
00:28:01Oh, that's a different thing.
00:28:03An emergency case.
00:28:05Where?
00:28:06Just a minute.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:10Yes, well, see it, she's not moved.
00:28:12Remember that?
00:28:13Don't touch it till I get there.
00:28:16Fractured case in the cargillous mules.
00:28:18Heavy woman.
00:28:2014 stone.
00:28:22Look at her.
00:28:23Look at her.
00:28:2514 stone.
00:28:27Just the sort of person who would hoist herself up on a stool to feed the canary.
00:28:32There ought to be a law against fat people, keeping little dicky birds.
00:28:35Well, so long, old man.
00:28:38It's not me very long.
00:28:39I haven't used that bag since I brought little Amelia.
00:28:42What's her name in the world?
00:28:43She grew up to be a very unattractive child.
00:28:45Well, who wouldn't with a name like Amelia?
00:28:47What Amelia?
00:28:48Oh, Amelia.
00:28:50Oh, Amelia.
00:28:50Oh, Amelia.
00:28:54Oh, Amelia.
00:29:04People are so stupid about it.
00:29:27They're so stupid about it.
00:29:59Oh, Professor Moriarty.
00:30:01Not that I wish to appear inquisitive.
00:30:04Not to what am I indebted for the pleasure of this visit.
00:30:06Scotland Yard will be interested.
00:30:09It's very convenient for me to have Scotland Yard think that I'm still dead in Montevideo.
00:30:14I never dreamed of fooling you.
00:30:17The thought occurs to me, Mr. Holmes, that there are some advantages in living within the law.
00:30:25They are very comfortably fixed here, aren't you?
00:30:29As I get on in life, the little comforts appeal to me more and more.
00:30:35Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:30:36Won't you sit down?
00:30:54And now, Professor Moriarty, what can I do for you?
00:30:56Everything that I have to say to you has already crossed your mind.
00:31:00And my answer is no doubt crossed yours.
00:31:03That's final.
00:31:05What do you think?
00:31:07I shall not rest until you are hanged for the finger mirrors.
00:31:11You have no proof, you know.
00:31:17Oh, not a shred.
00:31:19But I have you.
00:31:21I could turn you over to the police here and now.
00:31:23You could.
00:31:25But if you did, you'd never see Dr. Watson again.
00:31:28Oh, the telephone call.
00:31:31Quite.
00:31:31I rather assumed you had taken some such precaution.
00:31:35Or I should have snatched up a revolver
00:31:38and indulged in a fit of heroics when you came in.
00:31:41Very smart, aren't you?
00:31:44Not smart enough.
00:31:46Or I should have anticipated you.
00:31:48But if any harm comes to Dr. Watson, I shall seek you out.
00:31:52I shall not rest until I find you.
00:31:54And when I do...
00:31:55No harm will come to Dr. Watson this time.
00:31:58But I can't answer for the future.
00:32:00Mr. Holmes, I should strongly advise you to drop this case.
00:32:04Don't be silly.
00:32:05Think it over.
00:32:06We've had many encounters in the past.
00:32:09You hope to place me on the gallows.
00:32:39I tell you I shall never stand up on the gallows.
00:32:40I'll tell you I don't want your filthy shoelaces or your company.
00:32:45Shoelaces, Governor.
00:32:46Last of the impertinence.
00:32:47Run along, my good man, or I'll give you in charge.
00:32:49Shoelaces, Governor.
00:32:55Shoelaces, Governor.
00:32:56You're poor, poor bloke.
00:32:58What's only got one arm?
00:33:00Any luck with Mr. Holmes?
00:33:01You can read his obituary in tomorrow's papers.
00:33:15Oh, there you are, Watson.
00:33:16Come in.
00:33:17I was, uh...
00:33:19Just going out to look for you.
00:33:20Look for me?
00:33:21What for?
00:33:22Suppose you don't think I know my way about?
00:33:24Well, you're right, I don't.
00:33:25Blast all practical jokers, anyhow.
00:33:27Know where I've been?
00:33:28On a wild goose chase.
00:33:30Exactly.
00:33:31There's no such number in McArdle's muse.
00:33:33Some fool's idea of a joke.
00:33:36Did you, uh...
00:33:38Did you see anyone?
00:33:39No, nobody especially.
00:33:40Only a whining old idiot selling bootlaces.
00:33:43He was persistent, Baker, wasn't he?
00:33:44Stucked you like grim death.
00:33:46Oh, how do you know?
00:33:47And finally left you for someone who looked like better pickings.
00:33:51Someone, my dear Watson, was Professor Moriarty himself.
00:33:54What?
00:33:55He's just called on me.
00:33:56Moriarty here and you let him go?
00:33:57Well, but you must be out of your mind.
00:33:59Why?
00:34:00Well, he bluffed me into believing that he was holding a friend of mine as hostage.
00:34:03Friend of yours who?
00:34:04Oh, nobody very important.
00:34:05Just a fat, lazy fellow.
00:34:06Medical man, I believe.
00:34:07Medical man?
00:34:07Do I know him?
00:34:08Yes, I think you do.
00:34:09A fellow by the name of Watson.
00:34:10Watson?
00:34:10Watson, never heard...
00:34:12Who?
00:34:12Me?
00:34:13I'm afraid so, old fellow.
00:34:15Your street hawker's job...
00:34:18was to do away with you.
00:34:20In a certain contingency.
00:34:22And you let Moriarty go?
00:34:24Because of me?
00:34:24I had no choice.
00:34:26I can't afford to lose you, old fellow.
00:34:28Well, that's very decent of the old chap, I must say.
00:34:30But, uh...
00:34:31Well, uh...
00:34:33I wish you'd nabbed him.
00:34:34We shall.
00:34:35Never fear.
00:34:36I know the motive for the finger murders.
00:34:38All I have to find out now is the method used with the blackmail victims.
00:34:42Method?
00:34:42Yes.
00:34:44How does Moriarty get them to the scene of the crime?
00:34:46How does he plant those severed fingers on them?
00:34:49And how does he scare them into believing that, uh...
00:34:54They may have committed those atrocious murders themselves?
00:34:58Curious.
00:35:04Very curious.
00:35:07Curious?
00:35:08What's curious?
00:35:10That window in the empty house across the street.
00:35:16First floor front.
00:35:18Oh?
00:35:18What's wrong with it?
00:35:19It's open.
00:35:21Well, shouldn't it be open?
00:35:22Well, it wasn't open half an hour ago.
00:35:24I'll stake my life on that.
00:35:25Well, it's not our business.
00:35:26Let it stay open.
00:35:29I, uh...
00:35:30I wonder if you'll go over, old fellow, and see what's the matter.
00:35:32Oh, trespassing.
00:35:34Against the law.
00:35:35Very well.
00:35:35I'll go myself.
00:35:36Oh, well, if you're going to put it like that.
00:35:38Ridiculous waste of time.
00:35:40Going about shutting windows at this hour of the night.
00:35:42Yeah, you'd better take this torch.
00:35:43Well, take what?
00:35:45Dignified job for a doctor.
00:35:46Dr. Watson, the torchbearer.
00:35:48And what do you propose to do?
00:35:49Sit in a comfortable chair, I suppose, and read a good book.
00:35:51That's a very good idea.
00:35:52Yeah, it's a very good idea.
00:35:53While I play night watchman, you have a nice read.
00:35:57Good night.
00:35:57Have a good time.
00:35:58Have a good time.
00:36:11Have a good...
00:36:13Oh, don't do it.
00:36:19Oh, shit.
00:36:24What do you know this is for?
00:36:27Who?
00:36:28I'm Burristian.
00:36:30Pretty little thing to keep about the house.
00:36:33Must have been a pet.
00:36:34All right.
00:36:34Mm-hmm.
00:36:35Oh, I'm Burristian.
00:36:37Mm-hmm.
00:36:39Mm-hmm.
00:37:00Oh, dear.
00:37:01Oh, dear.
00:37:02Oh, dear.
00:37:07Oh, right, Barbara.
00:37:10This was for you, Lord.
00:37:30Well, he sits comfortably reading a book.
00:37:45Let's go.
00:37:48Let's go.
00:37:59Stop it!
00:38:07Let's go.
00:38:17Let's go.
00:38:28Let's go.

00:42:57Maine! Orange! Community
00:42:57Is Mariacchi.
00:42:585th, how's
00:42:58it? Mariacchi. Anything
00:43:00is possible. Williams!
00:43:06Dead! You see?
00:43:09Anything is
00:43:10possible.
00:43:12Markwarn
00:43:12carrying aè·.
00:43:33Oh, good morning Professor Moriarty. You startled me. I'm dressing another Dali. A dear little nurse.
00:43:43Is there anything wrong with your finger? Just a splinter. Nasty thing splinters. Most trying. One can't be too careful.
00:43:54But I'll get it out for you. I'll have the very instrument to help you. Sharp enough to split a
00:44:04hair. Put those tools away until they're needed. But they're not tools, sir. They're instruments. Put them away. Is Lidiarian?
00:44:12Yes. But really, you should let me. Get dressed. Holmes and Watson have just left Baker Street for the Mesmer
00:44:23Club.
00:44:23Mesmer Club? The meeting place of all the top hypnotists in London. Do you suppose that Mr. Holmes is on
00:44:29to our method?
00:44:30If he suspects, it's merely a suspicion. It's our business to see that it ends there.
00:44:36I hope you're right.
00:44:38William has passed away before he could talk, remember?
00:44:42What do you want me to do?
00:44:43Go to the Mesmer Club, meet Holmes, and induce him to come back here.
00:44:49Isn't that a bit dangerous?
00:44:51Every meeting with Sherlock Holmes is potentially dangerous.
00:44:55However, you say he didn't see your face at Pembroke House.
00:44:59And how would you suggest I get Mr. Holmes to accompany me here?
00:45:04Kidnap him?
00:45:05Oh, no.
00:45:06Holmes has one weakness.
00:45:07His insatiable curiosity.
00:45:10If you can arouse that, you can lead him anywhere.
00:45:12It's up to you to take advantage of any opportunity that may arise.
00:45:17This way, please, gentlemen.
00:45:19I'll tell Dr. Onslow that you're here.
00:45:23This is the Mesmer Club.
00:45:25If you ask me, hypnotism is a lot of mumbo-jumbo.
00:45:29Oh, come now, Watson.
00:45:30As a medical man, you must admit that hypnotism has its place in modern science.
00:45:33That may be, but 90% of hypnotists, the crooks are the worst kind.
00:45:37Nothing more than a lot of charlatans exploiting weak-willed morons.
00:45:41Ah.
00:45:41Dr. Onslow, I believe.
00:45:42Happy to meet you, Mr. Holmes.
00:45:44Your brother Mycroft suggested I might be of help to you.
00:45:47He's a valued member of our little group of charlatans and crooks.
00:45:52Oh, I beg your pardon, sir. I didn't know you were listening.
00:45:54Behind the curtain.
00:45:55My friend, Dr. Watson.
00:45:56Ah, delighted.
00:45:57I do, too.
00:45:57I wonder, now.
00:45:58You see, we're in the midst of a little experimental session at this very moment,
00:46:02if you'd care to join us.
00:46:05Oh, certainly, certainly.
00:46:06I'll be very instructive.
00:46:07Oh, well, will you follow me?
00:46:09I should have known as I were behind a blasted clinical...
00:46:11in treating his patients.
00:46:13But today, the therapeutic value of hypnotism, as we now call it,
00:46:17is conceded by innumerable physicians.
00:46:20Especially is of value in surgical cases
00:46:23where the administration of local or of general anesthetic is inadvisable.
00:46:28Inadvisable poppycock.
00:46:29Oh, sir.
00:46:30For the sake of latecomers, I may say
00:46:32that I have placed this subject under profound hypnosis.
00:46:36In this condition, he can feel no pain,
00:46:39even under applications which normally would be excruciating.
00:46:43Excruciating?
00:46:43Will you excuse me, please?
00:46:47Carter, you are having a peaceful sleep.
00:46:50You feel nothing.
00:46:51Your arms and your hands are without sensation.
00:46:56Mowbray, the long needle.
00:47:04Carter, give me your right hand.
00:47:14As you observe, the needle has been thrust
00:47:16completely through the subject's hand.
00:47:18No feeling, no pain.
00:47:20This lack of feeling is the one infallible test
00:47:23of profound hypnosis.
00:47:26Nonsense.
00:47:27The fellow's full of drugs.
00:47:29Well, isn't he?
00:47:29Definitely not, doctor.
00:47:35Wake up, Carter.
00:47:36Wake up.
00:47:37You'll feel well and rested, remember.
00:47:39No pain anywhere.
00:47:40Wake up, wake up.
00:47:45I say, when are you going to begin?
00:47:46All through, Carter.
00:47:47Stand up.
00:47:51This way, sir.
00:47:54And, uh, are these all the people that come here?
00:47:56Oh, no, no, no.
00:47:57Others keep dropping in all the time.
00:47:59I suppose it's all right for those who believe in it,
00:48:01but, of course, I'm a professional man myself.
00:48:03Then you don't believe in hypnotism, Dr. Watson?
00:48:06Oh, I don't deny that there are certain types of hysterical,
00:48:09people-minded people who go under a few point of finger at them.
00:48:12But anyone with an ounce of character.
00:48:14Oh, how right you are.
00:48:17You see right through our little artifices, don't you, Don?
00:48:20Right through, my dear sir.
00:48:21Right through.
00:48:22Right, sir.
00:48:23But with the feeble-minded, as you say,
00:48:27excuse us, Mr. Holmes.
00:48:28Oh, certainly.
00:48:28Step over here, won't you?
00:48:30Certainly, sir.
00:48:30Anything to oblige?
00:48:31Let me show you how easily we charlatans take advantage of them.
00:48:38Now, sit down, doctor.
00:48:42Now, we set a thing like this in motion.
00:48:48It's wonderful, the attraction.
00:48:51On the feeble-minded, of course.
00:48:53The continuous motion,
00:48:56if they just let themselves follow it.
00:48:59Of course, you could stare at it till doona's day, Dr. Watson,
00:49:04with no effect at all.
00:49:08Still, it might make you a little drowsy,
00:49:12like the white ribbon of road at night when you're driving.
00:49:18The rhythm is smooth, unbroken,
00:49:23and the road goes on and on,
00:49:27round and round,
00:49:29always the same,
00:49:32winding and winding,
00:49:34and you're drowsy,
00:49:37you're tired.
00:49:38Let the road come into you,
00:49:41as it were.
00:49:42The long road,
00:49:45the smooth road,
00:49:47the road to sleep.
00:49:52Sleep.
00:50:00Open your eyes.
00:50:02Stand up.
00:50:06Turn around.
00:50:09And now, Dr. Watson,
00:50:12you're on a holiday in Scotland.
00:50:14The country is amazingly beautiful.
00:50:17We're coming to a stream.
00:50:20It isn't deep.
00:50:23Better take your shoes and socks off.
00:50:36Roll up your trouser.
00:50:43That will do.
00:50:44The other leg is waterproof.
00:50:47Turn around.
00:50:49Mind the pebbles.
00:50:56Sit down.
00:51:02Wake up now.
00:51:09There you are, you see?
00:51:10What did I tell you?
00:51:11It didn't work with me.
00:51:12Why, nobody with an ounce of carri...
00:51:20I think you'll need these.
00:51:28It's going to laugh at.
00:51:29Watson, she's here.
00:51:30Oh, a woman you're looking for?
00:51:32Yes, I'm going to meet her.
00:51:33Perhaps I can induce her
00:51:34to take me to Moriarty.
00:51:35Do you think it's wise, Holmes?
00:51:36It may not be wise,
00:51:37but it's essential.
00:51:39After all,
00:51:39I've held me on with Moriarty
00:51:40in the past.
00:51:41But isn't it dangerous?
00:51:42She might be a hypnotist.
00:51:43My will isn't stronger than hers.
00:51:44I deserve to be hypnotized.
00:51:45Shh.
00:51:46I feel I must protest,
00:51:47Dr. Onslow.
00:51:48I was told this was a gathering
00:51:49of serious students
00:51:50of a great science.
00:51:51And I find myself
00:51:52in a company of buffoons.
00:51:53Oh, my dear mastermind.
00:51:54Elliotson, Esdell, Brain.
00:51:56Were those men
00:51:57martyrs for the truth?
00:51:58That you may laugh
00:51:59over your childish, cruel tricks?
00:52:00I must say,
00:52:01I'm in complete agreement
00:52:02with you, madam.
00:52:02This was most unnecessary
00:52:04performance, Dr. Onslow.
00:52:05Beg your pardon, sir.
00:52:06My name is Holmes,
00:52:07Sherlock Holmes.
00:52:08At your service, madam.
00:52:10Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:11I'm afraid I've created
00:52:12a rather embarrassing situation.
00:52:14But you see,
00:52:15I'm interested in the serious
00:52:16study of hypnotism.
00:52:16So am I, too.
00:52:18Perhaps we have something
00:52:19in common, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:20Perhaps we have.
00:52:21Do you join me for a cocktail
00:52:22at Pembroke House?
00:52:22I should be delighted.
00:52:24Good.
00:52:40I didn't know there was
00:52:41such a pleasant place in London.
00:52:42It was so nice of you
00:52:43to suggest our coming here.
00:52:44I thought a little pick-me-up
00:52:46would do us good.
00:52:47You mean you thought
00:52:48I looked...
00:52:48I like the way you look.
00:52:54I suppose I did lose my head
00:52:55a little at the Mesmer Club.
00:52:57But you see,
00:52:58hypnotism is almost
00:52:59a religion with me.
00:53:00I know so well
00:53:01what it can do to help
00:53:02and heal.
00:53:03And I can't bear to see
00:53:05it used for trivial purposes.
00:53:06I know very little about it.
00:53:07That's why I went
00:53:07to the Mesmer Club.
00:53:08You see,
00:53:09I'm rather puzzled just now
00:53:10with the case that I'm working on.
00:53:11How fascinating.
00:53:12Tell me about it.
00:53:13It's the murder
00:53:13of Sir George Fenwick.
00:53:15Fenwick?
00:53:16Who is he?
00:53:18Quite a well-known figure.
00:53:20Odd now,
00:53:21I come to think of it.
00:53:22Last time I saw Sir George
00:53:23was here at Pembroke House.
00:53:26Strange.
00:53:27Yes, isn't it?
00:53:28He was sitting...
00:53:31I believe he was sitting
00:53:32at this very table.
00:53:34Cigarette?
00:53:35Thanks.
00:53:36Do go on.
00:53:37There was a charming lady with him.
00:53:39He was...
00:53:40He was lighting a cigarette.
00:53:48Charming.
00:53:48Did you see her face?
00:53:50No, Worst Life.
00:53:52Merely her back.
00:53:54How unenterprising of you.
00:53:56Yes, wasn't it?
00:53:57I'm afraid I'm getting
00:53:58a little older.
00:53:59I shouldn't say so.
00:54:00That's nice of you.
00:54:01Still,
00:54:03the first time in my life
00:54:04I've got hold of a case
00:54:05that's beyond me.
00:54:06I'm actually losing sleep over it.
00:54:08You know, Mr. Holmes,
00:54:09I believe I could help you.
00:54:11Really?
00:54:12I should be very grateful.
00:54:13You're amused.
00:54:14Oh, nearly sceptical.
00:54:17How would you go about it?
00:54:19I've used hypnotism
00:54:20more than once in healing.
00:54:22Not for profit.
00:54:23I'm not a professional.
00:54:24But I do think
00:54:25I could help you
00:54:27if you'd care to.
00:54:28I can't think of
00:54:29a pleasanter experience.
00:54:46Low lights, music,
00:54:47is that all there is to it?
00:54:48You must relax, Mr. Holmes.
00:54:50I'm afraid you're
00:54:51a rather difficult subject.
00:54:56So I thought perhaps
00:54:57a little help.
00:55:00Materia medica
00:55:01might be advisable.
00:55:02Drugs?
00:55:07No, I'd rather not
00:55:08if you don't mind.
00:55:10As a matter of fact,
00:55:10I'd rather not myself.
00:55:12But shrink-notcing
00:55:13he practiced in Munich,
00:55:14you know.
00:55:15Believed it the best means
00:55:16for difficult subjects.
00:55:18Do you mind?
00:55:19Well, as a matter of fact,
00:55:20I don't approve of sedatives.
00:55:22Just as you wish.
00:55:23We don't have to go on
00:55:24with this at all, you know.
00:55:25Wait a minute.
00:55:29Wait a minute.
00:55:33All right.
00:55:34I'll take a chance.
00:55:36It's really quite harmless.
00:55:38What is it?
00:55:39Cannabis japonica,
00:55:40an oriental soporific.
00:55:42You need water.
00:56:00Now sit down, Mr. Hobbins.
00:56:06You'll feel yourself
00:56:07growing drowsy.
00:56:09Don't fight it.
00:56:11Give in to it.
00:56:13Because you do want
00:56:14to sleep, you know.
00:56:17Just fix your eyes
00:56:18on this one white flower
00:56:22floating on the water.
00:56:25Empty your mind
00:56:26of every other thought.
00:56:28Follow the motion
00:56:30of the water.
00:56:32So smooth.
00:56:34Not a ripple.
00:56:37Waters of forgetfulness.
00:56:42Steady.
00:56:45Deep.
00:56:48Strong.
00:56:51Strange, isn't it?
00:56:52How the light
00:56:54is reflected.
00:56:56Little specks of light
00:56:57that move
00:56:58and move.
00:57:04It's restful here.
00:57:08It's peaceful.
00:57:13It's friendly.
00:57:16And you're very close
00:57:17to finding what
00:57:18you're looking for.
00:57:20You'll find them soon now.
00:57:23The guilty ones.
00:57:26When you're resting,
00:57:29gentle waters closing over you.
00:57:35Steady.
00:57:37Deep.
00:57:39Strong.
00:57:43Drawing you down.
00:57:46Down.
00:57:50Down.
00:57:59Down.
00:58:03Sleep.
00:58:06Sleep.
00:58:09Sleep.
00:58:59Here he is, Professor Moriarty.
00:59:03Stand up, Mr. Holmes.
00:59:10Open your eyes.
00:59:13Face this way.
00:59:19Are you satisfied?
00:59:22We are dealing with a clever man.
00:59:24He may be shamming.
00:59:26There is just one infallible test for profound hypnosis.
00:59:31Are you ready, Dr. Simnor?
00:59:43That will do, Doctor.
00:59:45He couldn't fake insensibility to the knife.
00:59:49I congratulate you, Lydia.
00:59:52Turn round, Mr. Holmes.
00:59:55Now walk to the desk.
01:00:04Sit down.
01:00:06Take that pen and write what I tell you to write.
01:00:10I have at last found a case which I cannot solve.
01:00:18I have outlived my usefulness.
01:00:24Therefore, I have decided to end my life.
01:00:32Sign your name.
01:00:37Now blot it.
01:00:43Hold it up.
01:00:47And put it in your pocket.
01:00:49Come, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:00:53Go out onto the terrace.
01:00:57It's a nice, broad terrace.
01:00:58Now turn to the left and walk slowly.
01:00:58I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes.
01:00:58I'm sorry, but Mr. Holmes' injuries must all be self-inflicted.
01:01:04Let's walk a little, Mr. Holmes.
01:01:08It's so pleasant here in the garden.
01:01:14Just step up here onto the terrace.
01:01:17It's a nice, broad terrace.
01:01:21Now turn to the left and walk slowly to the end of the terrace.
01:01:39Don't stop.
01:01:40You must walk to the end, you know.
01:01:46The end leads to an open doorway.
01:01:48You can pass through it in perfect safety.
01:01:50In the room beyond the doorway, you'll find what you've been looking for.
01:01:54Must you drag this on?
01:01:55This is the moment I've been anticipating for a long time, my dear.
01:01:59Go on, Mr. Holmes.
01:02:06Through the open doorway, you will find the man responsible for the finger murders
01:02:10and the death of Sir George Fenwick.
01:02:13Professor Moriarty.
01:02:15Holmes!
01:02:17Stand still.
01:02:20What a beautiful view, Watson. I'm quite enjoying it.
01:02:22No, you're not.
01:02:23You're hypnotized.
01:02:24You're under a spell.
01:02:26Stand still. Don't move.
01:02:28Steady, Holmes.
01:02:28Steady does it.
01:02:29Stand perfectly still where you are.
01:02:31Nonsense, Watson.
01:02:32You don't know what you're doing.
01:02:33Of course I know what I'm doing.
01:02:35You mean you're not hypnotized?
01:02:36Certainly not.
01:02:37Then get off the wall, you idiot.
01:02:38Oh!
01:02:39Look out!
01:02:40Holmes!
01:02:40Oh!
01:02:42Dear fellow.
01:02:42What were you doing up there?
01:02:44Holding the fort until you arrived.
01:02:45What kept you?
01:02:46Oh, I ran into a spot of trouble on my way to Scotland Yard.
01:02:49I was arrested for exceeding the speed limit.
01:02:51Your luck seems to hold, Mr. Holmes.
01:02:54I'd hardly call it luck, Professor.
01:02:55You see, I substituted a drug of my own for the one that this dear lady pressed on me.
01:03:00You are clever, aren't you?
01:03:01A drug that, although it leaves the subject conscious, renders him quite insensitive to pain.
01:03:06That accounted for my lack of reaction to Dr. Simrel's knife.
01:03:10Well, Gregson, quite an impressive haul.
01:03:12Even Inspector Lestrade himself couldn't have done any better.
01:03:15Thanks, Mr. Holmes.
01:03:15Take him away.
01:03:16All right.
01:03:17Put her in the van.
01:03:20I was right, Mr. Holmes.
01:03:21You are a difficult subject.
01:03:27And now, Professor, our score is settled.
01:03:31What if why until I see you on the gallows?
01:03:33The rope has not been made that'll go around my neck.
01:03:35Come on.
01:03:49I'll take care of things, Mr. Holmes.
01:03:51Thank you, Inspector.
01:03:52Come on.
01:03:54An evil man, Holmes.
01:03:56But what a horrible death.
01:03:58Better than he deserved.
01:04:01What are you thinking of?
01:04:03I'm thinking of all the women who can come and go in safety in the streets of London tonight.
01:04:08The stars keep watching their heavens.
01:04:11And in our own little way, we too, old friend.
01:04:14A privilege to watch over our city.
01:04:34A power of the town's people who can come and help us.
01:04:34I'll be happy.
01:04:45And I'm thinking of all the women who can come and die.
01:04:45I'm thinking of all the women who can come and die.
01:04:46You go to the women who can come and die.
01:04:51The men who can be eating and do the women who can be doing anything.
01:04:51The men of the women who can come and die?
01:04:51You
