00:12The Lone Ranger
03:00Exactly.
03:01And that's what worries me.
03:02Of course, it isn't the business of Scott and Yard to go about warring people who are foolish enough to
03:07make themselves targets for all the thieves in the country.
03:10But Sir John's different.
03:12He's an old friend of mine.
03:14It's a personal matter.
03:16I understand, sir.
03:18But surely Franklin Blake will take every precaution.
03:21He's a very clever young lawyer, sir.
03:23Yes, yes, scuff.
03:23I know.
03:24But I don't want him to take any chances.
03:27And that's why I've sent for you.
03:30Thank you, sir.
03:32Now, you get in your car quietly.
03:34Drive up there and have a talk with Blake and Miss Ferringer.
03:37Strictly unofficially, of course.
03:39I understand.
03:39Can you tell them some of our experiences with these famous duels that have a way of leaving nothing but
03:46disaster in their path?
03:49Very good, sir.
03:51Is that all, sir?
03:52That's all.
03:53Good night, Captain.
03:55Thank you, sir.
03:58Good night, sir.
04:06They're in the manner of all places.
04:38Sir John Berringer, please.
04:46Sir Kyle Van Lucker, from London.
04:49Yes.
04:50Yes, I know.
04:54Why, Rosanna, what are you doing here?
04:57Please.
04:58Please, Van Lucker, I want to tell Sir John.
05:02The housekeeper.
05:03Yes, Sir John is in.
05:05Who shall I say is calling?
05:06Mr Van Lucker, from London.
05:09Is Sir John expecting it?
05:11No, but I'm sure he'll see me.
05:14Very good, sir.
05:15Come this way.
05:45If I come here for the money you owe me already, then you ask me for another thousand pounds?
05:49What kind of a fool do you think I am?
05:51Van Lucker, please.
05:53My daughter will hear you.
05:54Oh, my daughter.
05:56My business is to lend money and to foreclose when people can't pay up.
06:00I cannot support your impoverished estate indefinitely.
06:03My dear Van Lucker, you can't be serious.
06:05Come now, sit down.
06:07Let's talk this matter over quiet.
06:09Talk this matter over quiet in this office.
06:11Talk and talk and talk.
06:13With me, money talks.
06:20What's he doing here again?
06:23For John don't know it, but he's a double-dice count, or he is.
06:27Careful, Bertridge.
06:28Miss Anne's in our studio.
06:29She'll hear you.
06:30I know, I know, Dr. Jennings.
06:33But if he makes me that furious, mark my words, no good will come of it.
06:42Anne, I want to talk to you.
06:44How soon are you going to finish?
06:46I'm almost finished.
06:49I've got this room over seven times since Frank went away.
06:53Now I'm satisfied.
06:55He'll love it.
06:56Franklin Blake.
06:58You know, you'll never be happy married to him.
07:00Oh, don't be silly.
07:02Anne, you know I love you.
07:04I always will.
07:06Oh, Bertridge, be careful.
07:08You'll smudge my teeth barging in like that.
07:10Oh, I have.
07:12I don't think much of a day at home.
07:15Oh, Mr. Godfrey.
07:16I never thought as I'd bring up a child with no more sense than to go messing about with paintbrushes
07:23and things.
07:24You old dali.
07:25Bedridge never will grow up to appreciate our modern art.
07:28Art?
07:30Art, you call it.
07:31Ah, it gets me down, Willie.
07:34Be careful now.
07:37Heavens, it's getting late.
07:39I've got to put these in Frank's room.
07:41So, uh, do you mind crawling back into your book, you handsome worm?
07:46A worm?
07:47Not a very elevating comparison.
07:49Don't be an idiot.
07:50You're my cousin, aren't you?
07:52And a very noble one, too.
07:54Ha-ha.
07:54Okay.
08:21All right.
08:36This moonstone is a very valuable gem. It should enable you to meet your debts.
08:42But it belongs to my dough.
08:43Well, well. I shall be glad to take it off your hands. Payment for the five thousand
08:49and you owe me at least three thousand more.
08:52But do you assume that I would bargain with my daughter's property? Don't be absurd.
09:17Oh, I do hope it stops raining before Mr. Frank's train gets in.
09:21Has Henry left for the station, Rosanna?
09:24Yes, it's some time ago.
09:26Won't it be good to see Mr. Franklin again? After a whole year.
09:30Of course it will.
09:33Is it really true, Miss, that he's bringing the famous moon, Sharon?
09:37Why, yes. I'll be the envy of every girl in England.
09:42It's terribly valuable, isn't it?
09:45Mr. Frank writes it worth at least thirty thousand pounds.
09:49Thirty thousand pounds? Isn't that wonderful?
10:02I give you forty-eight hours to pay up, or out you go.
10:06But then, look, that's final.
10:09But you've given me no reasonable warning, no notice.
10:17Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you had a visitor.
10:20It's all right, my dear. Come in, come in.
10:23I want to introduce an old friend of mine, Mr. Van Locker, my daughter, Anne.
10:28How do you do?
10:30It is a pleasure.
10:32Had I known you have such a delightful surprise down here, Sir John,
10:36I would have called sooner at my doctor's.
10:41There you are, Father.
10:42I told you you'd allow me a trip to London at least twice a year.
10:46Just to show me off.
10:47I agree. Absolutely.
10:49There you go again, bewitching even my patience into flattery when...
10:54When, according to you, I have the fate of a turnip and the temper of a witch.
10:58Oh, yes, what a...
10:59I know all his answers, Mr. Van Locker. That's his sense.
11:02Now, run along, my dear, and tell Betteridge that Mr. Van Locker will be with us for dinner.
11:07Oh, my dear.
11:08Oh, we're very delighted.
11:10Oh, dear, what a storm.
11:12Mr. Van will have a terrible time getting from the station.
11:14Yes.
11:15I'll see you at dinner.
11:19I may tell you, Van Locker, that my daughter knows nothing...
11:23Quiet!
11:28What a night for a man to be on the road to the valley of a gem.
11:34Ann, isn't this, uh, Van Locker the notorious moneylender who figured in the theft of the Wallingford Pearls two years
11:41ago?
11:42Possibly.
11:43But you know Father.
11:44He's a darling.
11:46But if there's any trouble around within a thousand miles, he's sure to make friends with it.
11:58Oh, hello, Betteridge. Hi.
12:00Oh, the better for seeing you, sir.
12:02And you, Roseanne, how are you?
12:03Fine, thank you, sir.
12:04Good Lord.
12:05Frank!
12:06You say you must be soaked to the skin.
12:08Oh, no, I'm all right.
12:10Frank!
12:10Ann!
12:12Oh!
12:12Oh, darling.
12:18Oh, it's so good to have you back.
12:20It's been a century, hasn't it?
12:21Two centuries.
12:22Three centuries.
12:23A dozen centuries.
12:28Hello, Godfrey.
12:29How are you?
12:30Splendid, thanks.
12:32Oh, well, Godfrey's down for a holiday.
12:34Oh?
12:34He came down from London yesterday.
12:42Mr.
12:46Would Mrs.
12:47Betteridge be kind enough to direct me to my master's room?
12:53Henry, Mr. Franklin will occupy the same room.
13:07Well, you're nervous, darling.
13:09You're not ill, are you?
13:10Oh, it's nothing.
13:12I'm just worn out trying to sleep with one eye on this thing.
13:17There.
13:23Godfrey.
13:24Godfrey, look.
13:27I had it mounted for you in Bombay.
13:30Oh, it's the most exquisite thing I've ever seen.
13:32Good Lord, it's as big as an egg.
13:35Look, Godfrey.
13:36He changed his color with a reflection of the light.
13:38Yes, it's called the Moonstone.
13:40You see, the luster grows and lessens with the waxing and waning of the moon.
13:43When there is a moon.
13:45Oh, it's beautiful.
13:47I'll never let it go.
13:48Out of my sight.
13:49Oh, but, Anne, dear, you must have it put away in a bank vault at once.
13:52Crazy to keep a thing like that lying around for house, for Target, for thieves.
13:56Oh, but, darling, you're not serious.
13:58Oh, yes, I am.
13:59Aren't you being a little melodramatic, young man?
14:01Oh, you think so?
14:03Oh, Frank, you're imagining things.
14:05You're tired, worn out.
14:07I'll have to have Father look you over.
14:09Come along.
14:10Oh, no, Anne, I'm all...
14:11Oh, I want you all to myself.
14:12I have a surprise for you.
14:14You'll excuse me, darling?
14:16Young man, you're about to gaze upon a sight of broken bones.
14:35Oh, Godfrey, will you turn on the wireless?
14:38Get Paris off, Cavendry.
14:40They have such splendid programs.
14:42I'll try, but the store might interfere.
14:45Oh, I'm sorry.
14:47But the stone is so beautiful.
14:49It almost hypnotizes me.
14:51It is beautiful, isn't it?
14:53May I?
14:54Certainly.
14:55The colouring is magnificent.
14:58I've never seen such perfection in any stone.
15:03Franklin is perfect.
15:08There you are, my dear.
15:10Thanks, Godfrey.
15:14Oh, what a night to go back to London.
15:18Oh, but you can't think of leaving in this storm.
15:20We'll be only too delighted to put you up.
15:22Oh, if it's not too much of an imposition.
15:24Oh, nonsense.
15:25Rosanna, we'll put Mr. Van Lucker in the room adjoining Mr. Garfrey's.
15:29Yes, Miss.
15:30I tell you, your nerves are out of order.
15:32What you want is a fun.
15:34A good fun.
15:36There, and it again.
15:37Frank loves to feed your father.
15:39What you need is sleep.
15:40Plenty of sound sleep.
15:42And in your condition of nervous strain, nothing but medicine will help you do it.
15:46I'm sorry, sir.
15:48But a glass of ordinary hot milk and a good bed will turn the trick to me.
15:51Eh, what, what?
15:52Confound your impudence.
15:53Do you doubt my professional judgment?
15:55Oh, stop it, you old fussbudget.
15:58Frank's only teasing.
15:59Of course I am.
16:00Where's your sense of humor, Sir John?
16:01Eh, what, what?
16:02Ha, ha.
16:03I see what it is.
16:04It's that cursed moonstone.
16:06First it gets on this young turnip's nerves, because he had to carry it in his pocket, and
16:10now it gets on.
16:11Oh, father, that's absurd.
16:12You're all worked up over the silly superstition that misfortune dogs the footsteps of anyone possessing
16:17the moonstone.
16:19Why, it's ridiculous.
16:20Come on, Sir John.
16:28What?
16:28Oh, the road.
16:30What sort of foolishness is this?
16:32Turn up the light.
16:34It's a storm.
16:35Which is this?
16:37Godfrey, the candles, a lot.
16:39Oh, my child, there.
16:40Hey, darling, what is it?
16:41A lot of the moonstone.
16:43Someone's taken it.
16:44What?
16:44What?
16:45Oh, confound it.
16:46Someone gets a light.
16:47Rosanna.
16:48Beverly.
16:49The candles run a while, Godfrey.
16:51Are you there?
16:51Right, I have it.
16:53Anne, are you all right?
16:54Oh, Greg.
16:55Father.
16:56My dear, what is it?
16:57Come and sit down over here, dear.
16:59My child, what is it?
17:00What is it?
17:01My light!
17:02My light!
17:06Are there any panels in the hall?
17:08Yes, sir.
17:09Yes, sir.
17:12Sweetheart, what happened?
17:13I see her.
17:14They snatched it.
17:15When the lights went out.
17:17This is absurd.
17:19There was no one in the room,
17:20but a group of friends.
17:21There seems to be a thief among us.
17:24What sort of business is this?
17:26In my house!
17:28Oh, Father, please.
17:38Peteridge!
17:42Peteridge, what are you doing?
17:48I'm sure there's enough light now, miss,
17:50to keep a sharp eye on everyone.
17:52What are you talking about?
18:00The moonstone.
18:01I snatched it.
18:03Or you wouldn't have it now, miss.
18:05Lights don't go out for the sake of going out.
18:08And I got my suspicions.
18:10You old darling.
18:11You'll be really a misfit of us again.
18:13Oh, she's an old idiot.
18:15You've got us into a mix-up like this.
18:16Get out, get out, get out.
18:18I've half a mind to...
18:19Give me my notice.
18:22Well, after saying it for 40 years,
18:24I've a good mind to accommodate you.
18:26And the son of the better, the son of the better.
18:28Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
18:29You can't mean that.
18:30You can't mean...
18:37And you know you'll love it.
18:38You see?
18:39Even better...
18:46Sutter!
18:46Sir John, ma'am.
18:48My wife.
18:49She's ready.
18:50She is in great pain.
18:52Sir John can't go out on a night like this.
18:54I'll send Dr. Ted.
18:55But Sir John promised my wife.
18:58Oh, I did, Sutter.
18:59So I did.
19:00And not for the world,
19:01but I did anyone else have the honour
19:03of introducing our next blacksmith to...
19:05But, Father, you can't go out.
19:07In the store?
19:08No, what did you come?
19:09I come in the biggest cards.
19:10That's very good.
19:11Wait.
19:12It'll be the deck of you.
19:13I guess it, Dr. Dennings,
19:15knows just as much about helping the stock
19:17as you do.
19:17Shut up!
19:19Ezra, now...
19:19Father, you already have a cold.
19:21You really have to go, Sir John?
19:23Ah, and send me Rosanna.
19:25Come along, sir.
19:26Can't I go, Sir John?
19:28No, no, no.
19:28Get my bag ready.
19:29A bit of it.
19:30Mark my words, if you go out.
19:32Send me Rosanna.
19:37Might as well...
19:38Lovely.
19:47It should be forbidden by Act of Parliament
19:50for babies to arrive on a night like this.
19:52Oh, stop fretting, Beverly.
19:54Father promised he wouldn't venture back
19:56until the storm cleared.
19:58All the same, he'd have a fit
19:59if he knew you were sleeping with that thing
20:01under your pillow
20:01instead of burying it down
20:04in the cellar or something.
20:05Oh, don't be silly.
20:06You speak as if this were
20:08a hotel or a railway station
20:10full of thieves.
20:11That might well be
20:13for all my suspicions.
20:17Be careful of the paint betterage.
20:19It's still wet.
20:21Good day.
20:22Good day.
20:23Good day.
20:37Good day.
20:38Good day.
20:40Good day.
20:43Good day.
20:44Good day.
20:45Good day.
20:46Good day.
20:47Good day.
20:47Good day.
20:48Good day.
20:49Good day.
20:49Good day.
20:50Good day.
20:51Good day.
20:51Good day.
20:51Good day.
20:52Good day.

23:24Mr. Franklin
23:25Mr. Franklin
23:30Mr. Franklin
23:31What is it?
23:32What happened is the house of fire?
23:34Someone to love, Miss Anne
23:36The moon stone
23:37Right from under her head
23:39What?
23:40Why, that's impossible
23:41Oh, is it?
23:42Sir John
23:51Sir John?
23:55Sir John?
23:55Sir John?
23:56Sir John?
23:56Sir John?
23:56Ann, don't look at me like that.
23:57Tell me what happened.
23:59I don't know.
24:04Miss Anne!
24:13Miss Anne!
24:14Miss Anne!
24:16Miss Anne!

24:27Miss Anne!
24:29Miss Anne!
24:30Miss Anne!
24:34Dr. Jennings, quick.
24:36Oh, Ezra. Ezra, he isn't dead.
24:40Steady, darling, steady.
24:43No, he's alive.
24:46A pneumonia, I think.
24:48Frankly, give me a hand.
24:52He evidently tried to help himself and then collapsed.
24:55Oh, my darling.
24:56Look at his clothes, they're soaked.
24:58A hot water beverage and turn the switch on the sterilizer.
25:02I can't. The electric comes off.
25:05Then boil some. Hurry.
25:10Let them clear the room, please. Clear the room.
25:18Anne, darling.
25:19Oh, get out. All of you, get out.
25:22Anne.
25:23Oh, can't you understand, Blaine English?
25:25Dr. Jennings, they clear the room.
25:36Oh, Ezra, hurry.
25:39She's hysterical.
25:41Well, don't stand there like a stuffed owl.
25:44We've got to do something to recover that confounded moonstone.
25:47Yes.
25:48I know.
25:54Scotland Yard.
25:58I'll try and get Inspector Cuff. He's a friend of mine.
26:10Hello.
26:12Hello.
26:14The line's dead. The storm must have blown the wires down.
26:18Hello.
26:20No use.
26:21I wish I could get Cuff.
26:23Mr.
26:24Mr.
26:25Franklin.
26:26There's a man downstairs from Scotland Yard.
26:28He says it's Inspector Cuff.
26:30Cuff?
26:31Come on.
26:32Come along, Godfrey.
26:35Good gracious me.
26:37It's like bringing rabbits out of a hat.
26:41There's nothing to do now but wait for the crisis.
26:45Oh, I can't leave him.
26:47Oh, but you must, Michael.
26:49Otherwise, I'll have you on my hands, too.
26:54I'll call you the moment there's any change.
27:16You say the smear was not there last night when you left your mistress? And that the paint was wet?
27:22Yes.
27:25Mr. Blake.
27:27You found all doors and windows securely locked from the inside?
27:30Yes.
27:31Godfrey and I checked them personally, Inspector.
27:34Then I must ask everyone here to submit to an examination of their personal belonging.
27:38Oh, do you mean you think you'll find paint on some garment worn by the thief?
27:42Precisely.
27:42Sir.
27:43Did you mean to hint?
27:45Oh, we're not hinting anything, Beveridge.
27:46We're merely facing facts.
27:48The moonstone's been stolen.
27:49We've got to find it.
27:50You may start with my things, Inspector.
27:52Mine, too, Inspector.
27:54Miss Anne, you are a police officer?
27:56Oh, Anne, this is Inspector Cuff from Scotland Yard.
27:58Miss Verinder.
27:58The Inspector's a friend of mine.
28:00We appreciate your assistance, Inspector.
28:02But I will not permit an inspection of my personal belongings.
28:06As you say.
28:08Of course, Miss Verinder.
28:09But I'd like to ask one question.
28:12Do you happen to know anything about this smear of paint on the door?
28:15Might you have done it by accident yourself?
28:18I know nothing about that.
28:20Anne, darling.
28:27I want to talk with everyone in the house.
28:30Individually.
28:34I'll begin with you.
28:38Is it here, sir?
28:39No.
28:41Down in the drawing room.
28:42Yes, sir.
28:53The last time I saw you, Rosanna Spearman, you were in prison for theft.
29:01And the pearls you stole at that time were found afterwards in the possession of Carl Van Lucker, a moneylender.
29:08Were they not?
29:09Yes.
29:10But...
29:11You're very grateful to your benefactors, Miss Verinder, aren't you?
29:15Yes.
29:16Of course.
29:17Even to assisting her in anything she might ask?
29:20Yes.
29:22Well, that would depend.
29:25Has Van Lucker, since coming here, acknowledged that he knows you?
29:28No.
29:29No, sir.
29:30You know what it means to be an accessory to crime?
29:33Even though it were proved you were actuated by gratitude.
29:36Yes.
29:37Oh, yes.
29:38It isn't very pleasant in prison, is it?
29:42No.
29:43No.
29:44No.
29:46You know that the yellow diamond, called the Moonstone, was originally stolen from a sacred idol in an Indian temple.
29:54I've heard that many times.
29:58Isn't it a fact, Yangu, that every native of the faith has dedicated himself to restoring the sacred gem to
30:04the temple?
30:06That has been the tradition for many generations.
30:10But it doesn't touch me, sir.
30:12Why not?
30:15Because...
30:16I have adopted the Christian faith.
30:20But when you entered Mr. Blake's service, you knew he was taking the Moonstone from India, didn't you?
30:27Yes, I did.
30:30That'll be all.
30:33Thank you, sir.
30:43Mr. Blake tells me you're a dealer in rare books.
30:46That is correct.
30:49It's rather a losing business these days, isn't it?
30:52Yes, when one refers to it as a business.
30:55Fortunately, my private income is sufficient to dub it a hobby.
30:58During depression.
30:59Oh, you have a private income.
31:02But surely it must have diminished considerably with those terrific losses you've been suffering lately by gambling.
31:09What?
31:10Yes.
31:12Well, that's my private affair.
31:14Which can't possibly have any bearing on this situation.
31:17No, no, no, no. Of course not.
31:20But if you were better fixed financially, you'd feel more at liberty to urge Miss Ledender to marry you.
31:27Well, I hadn't looked at it in that life.
31:30But it's an idea.
31:34Now, he owes me five thousand pounds.
31:36And I came here to collect or foreclose.
31:39On account of that storm last night, I happened to be under this roof and the moonstone disappeared.
31:45And I suppose now you're going to ask a lot of crazy questions about me.
31:50Go ahead.
31:51I am a good listener.
31:53Yeah.
31:54That is a guard.
31:57Just two questions, Lucker.
31:59Only two?
32:00Well, let me off easy, huh?
32:02Do you happen to know if Miss Ledender is aware of her father's business with you?
32:07No.
32:08I don't think so.
32:10The old fool said she isn't.
32:13Why didn't you acknowledge that you knew Rosanna Spearman, the housemaid, when you entered this house?
32:18Why should I do anything to make it hard for that poor little kid who wants to go straight?
32:23I never knew you to be brimming over with the milk of human kindness, Van Lucker.
32:28I imagine there are a lot of things you don't know about me.
32:33Is that all?
32:35That's all.
32:36For now.
32:38Thanks.
32:40You're welcome.
32:41Sir John was called out last night.
32:43Yes.
32:44What time do you think he returned?
32:45Oh, I should say between midnight and two o'clock.
32:50Your real name isn't Jennings.
32:52It's Crofton, isn't it?
32:53Oh.
32:55How did you discover that?
32:56Yeah.
32:57It's my business to remember faces.
32:59And you were a pretty big man in your profession plenty years ago.
33:03I get that you, as you probably know, there was a great tragedy in my life.
33:07It was only with Sir John's help that I, I was able to overcome it.
33:12You're assisting him with your knowledge of drugs and the compounding of his new anesthetic, aren't you?
33:17Uh, yes.
33:19You know that Sir John is in financial difficulty.
33:22And that the value of the Moonstone might help to put him back on his feet.
33:26I'm not familiar with the doctor's private affairs.
33:30Now, perhaps if you'll, if you'll excuse me, Inspector, I'd, I'd better get back to Sir John.
33:36Naturally, your patient comes first, Doctor.
33:39But I'll expect to resume this talk later.
33:42Yes.
33:48Now, Mrs. Beatriz, are you sure you had no occasion to enter Miss Vendor's studio this morning before you discovered
33:54her there, beside the bed?
33:56No.
33:58You didn't go in there, say, to dust or wipe things off?
34:02No.
34:04Do you know anything about Sir John's financial affairs?
34:07No!
34:09And you can't make me answer any more questions, you nosy old owl.
34:15Now, for a pretty woman, Mrs. David...
34:17Oh, you can't get round me with your soft soap.
34:21I'll have you know I've been in service in this house for 40 years.
34:24I know my young mistress.
34:26And if a hundred Moonstones was lost, stolen or strained,
34:30I know how and when to keep my mouth shut.
34:34Same as she.
34:41I'm cool.
34:43I'm cool.
34:45I'm cool.
34:45What is it, Doctor?
34:46Shhh.
34:46He's delirious.
34:48He's been muttering things I think you should hear.
34:52Heh heh.
34:53Another little blacksmith.
34:56Heh heh heh.
34:57For that young ass Franklin.
35:01What he wants is sleep.
35:05Sleep.
35:07Heh heh.
35:08Hot milk.
35:10Heh heh.
35:10I'll give him hot milk.
35:13Heh heh.
35:13Rosanna.
35:16Mmm.
35:17Ginger it up with some RTH.
35:21Heh heh.
35:22Nettles in your little sweet thine eyes.
35:28Rosanna!
35:32What's RTH?
35:40What is this RTH?
35:42It's a powerful drug to induce sleep and calm the nerves, yes?
35:47On the other hand, a slight overdose might produce a strange stimulating reaction.
35:53Now, last night, I saw Rosanna take Franklin a glass of hot milk.
35:58Now, it's quite possible that such a...
36:00Dad, I see what you mean.
36:02Get Mr. Blake and Miss Ferrander.
36:03Hurry.
36:04Oh, wait better, wait better.
36:06I have a plan.
36:07But he thinks it involves a scientific problem, which I will explain to you later.
36:12Tell Miss Anne to come here as soon as she can, without letting Mr. Franklin be aware of it.
36:19Miss Ferrander can be of great use to us, as I will explain to you later, if you agree with
36:25my idea.
36:30And every sensory impression which has once been recognized by the perceptive consciousness is registered, a photograph, so to speak,
36:40on the brain, and may be reproduced at some subsequent time.
36:44Although, there may be no consciousness of its existence in the mind during the intermediate period.
36:51Do you mean to say that if we gave Blake another dose of this, enough to produce the stimulating reaction,
36:57that he'd repeat what he did last night?
36:59That he'd do everything he's totally unaware of now?
37:03Would he take a substitute for the Moonstone and do exactly with it what he did with the real one
37:07last night?
37:09There's no telling. It's just an experiment.
37:12What do you think, Miss Ferrander?
37:14I'd say try it, certainly, by all means.
37:16Oh, Dr. Chip. Mark my word, she's going to make a fool of somebody. Unlike us, nothing she'll tell us.
37:22Oh, quiet, Bethlehem.
37:23I can't guarantee to produce identical reactions, because I don't know exactly how much of this Sir John gave him.
37:31There's no danger, Doctor.
37:33No, no, no. It's only dangerous if it becomes a habit.
37:37Sounds to me like DT.
37:39Oh, Bethlehem.
37:40How are we going to give it to him without his knowledge?
37:43Well, that's simple.
37:44Bethlehem must have been to remember his hot milk.
37:47Heaven knows he'll eat it after a day like this.
37:50Come on, darling.
37:52Oh, we can just be wicked if I've never heard of such a thing in my own life.
37:57And while hereabout it, Doctor, could you give a good stiff sleeping potion to Mrs. Bethlehem?
38:01Yes, yes.
38:29Oh, this necklace will make a perfect substitute for the Moonstone.
38:32Well, all we need know is last night's storm to complete this crazy play-action.
38:38If you don't behave yourself, I'll send you to your room.
38:40All the same if he does walk.
38:42I bet my Sunday bonnet he goes straight to...
38:45Where?
38:48Where would a man be going in the middle of the night?
38:51Mrs. Bedridge.
38:53You ought to be ashamed of yourself when we're trying to find the Moonstone and help Frank out of his
38:58dilemma.
38:59Well, nobody ever found anything in that sleep.
39:01Except a nightmare.
39:07Bad business.
39:10Bad business.
39:12Bad business.
39:13Bad business.
39:16Bad business.
39:28Bad business.
39:30Bad business.
39:31Bad business.
39:33Bad business.
39:35Bad business.
39:36Bad business.
39:37Bad business.
39:38Bad business.
39:39Bad business.
39:39Bad business.
39:41Bad business.
39:41Bad business.
39:42Bad business.
40:26It's a silly thing to do, sitting here all night.
40:30Nothing's going to happen anyway.
40:35Quick, get behind the curtain.
40:37All right, all right.
40:39Be quiet.
40:39That's a stupid thing you can do.
41:33He's got it.
41:34It's a stupid thing you can do.
41:42Better it's my role.
41:47Failing, you'll never lead us to the moonstone.
41:52Maybe you'll snap in its door.
41:54I don't keep him awake.
42:04It's right here.
42:10It can't do.
42:27Godfrey.
42:33Godfrey.
42:35Take this wretched thing.
42:46He's got to sleep.
42:49Godfrey.
42:55Godfrey and Manlucka.
42:58I can.
42:59I knew it all the time.
43:01You did?
43:03And you let them thieves get away?
43:06My, my, my.
43:08Aren't you the little Sherlock?
43:10Mrs. Bedridge, go down to the river and pull the water over your head.
43:17Bein' the perfect lady, I'll give you the last word.
43:31Your reservations for Holland, sir.
43:33According to your telegram.
43:34Did you wire Amsterdam?
43:35Yes, sir.
43:36De Groot phoned half an hour ago to say that he could cut the stone immediately.
43:41Have you got it, sir?
43:42No.
43:43Godfrey able by it is being here.
43:45His train was due half an hour ago.
43:47He ought to be here any moment.
43:49Speaking of the devil.
43:51Let him in.
44:02Here.
44:03Hold your horses.
44:10Come on.
44:13Why, Inspector Cuff?
44:15You made good town from Yorkshire, didn't you, Van Luck?
44:21Hmm.
44:22Holland, eh?
44:24Here, wait a minute.
44:30Robin, let Mr. Godfrey Ablewhite in.
44:45Please take your hands off me.
44:50Hmm.
44:52Fifteen thousand pounds.
44:55Well, that's about enough to put you securely on your feet again, Mr. Abelwhite.
44:59It would have been.
45:01It hadn't been for Mr. Van Lucker.
45:03Oh, listen here, I don't know anything about...
45:05Shut up.
45:06Come on.
45:08Let me have it.
45:15Well, there go my matrimonial prospect.
45:20Priceless.
45:23Magnificent.
45:24You gentlemen are not trying to sell this to me by any chance, are you?
45:32All right, rather.
45:34Take them away.
45:36All right.
45:44All right.
45:46All right.
46:07Oh, Inspector, isn't that grand?
46:12Yes, Mrs. Petritch, those were the days.
46:16Remember?
