00:06:20Good evening, Mr. Holmes.
00:06:22Good evening, Vincent.
00:06:22Whisking soda, please, and a double for my friend here, Inspector Gregson.
00:06:25Very good, sir.
00:06:26Make mine Irish.
00:06:27Decent of me to give me a handle of this thing, Mr. Holmes.
00:06:30Always a pleasure to be of help to Scotland Yard, Inspector.
00:06:32A little out of my line, looking for a maniac,
00:06:35and murder is just for the fun of me.
00:06:38Or perhaps just to get a human finger.
00:06:44In all four cases,
00:06:47a murderer risk capture
00:06:48by stopping to secure a finger.
00:06:54What for? Who knows?
00:06:57He's just a madman.
00:06:59Perhaps there's method in his madness.
00:07:02If we could just trace those missing fingers.
00:07:05If we could just drag the English channel,
00:07:08we might find a penny.
00:07:09Huh?
00:07:10Well, thank you.
00:07:13You may keep those, Mr. Holmes.
00:07:22Sir George Fenwick, isn't he?
00:07:23Yes.
00:07:24Had his daughter with him.
00:07:26Don't be so naive, Inspector.
00:07:30You know everyone, don't you, darling?
00:07:32Well, hardly.
00:07:35A week ago, I didn't know you.
00:07:36A week.
00:07:37How fast it's gone.
00:07:52I collect these things.
00:07:54How very quaint of you.
00:07:56Shall we go?
00:07:56Yes.
00:08:02What are you looking at, Mr. Holmes?
00:08:05Looking at a very handsome woman.
00:08:07Not born to the purple,
00:08:09but giving an excellent imitation.
00:08:11Would you like to come to my flat for a nightcap?
00:08:13Lovely idea.
00:08:14Yes, isn't it?
00:08:16Yes, isn't it?
00:08:23I wonder where she's taking Sir George Fenwick.
00:08:25Don't be so naive, Mr. Holmes.
00:08:28I love you, won't say yet.
00:08:29J. Holmes.
00:08:34Not bornören?
00:08:55Not bornoya.
00:08:56No, I don't want BUTt.
00:08:57No, I don't want you to see her.rial
00:08:58trial. Not
00:08:58as possible. Nono,
00:09:28Good evening, Mum.
00:09:29Hello, Crandon. Any messages?
00:09:30No, Mum.
00:09:36Drinks, Crandon. One of your nice surprises.
00:09:38Yes, Mum.
00:09:39I say, you don't mean that...
00:09:41Crandon's a marvel. Aren't you, Crandon?
00:09:43Yes, Mum.
00:09:44You wouldn't believe the things she can do.
00:09:49Ah, charming place.
00:09:50Delightful.
00:09:51Really? Do you think so? I'm so glad.
00:09:54Do sit down.
00:09:57Do you mind?
00:09:58Do I mind?
00:09:59What a question.
00:10:03I don't mind anything, really.
00:10:06Except not being with you.
00:10:07Now, you really don't want me to believe that, do you?
00:10:10Not too seriously.
00:10:12Good.
00:10:12We're both quite grown-up, aren't we?
00:10:14Quite.
00:10:23You're a treasure, Crandon.
00:10:30And lower the lights a little as you leave.
00:10:39I'd prefer a more flattering light.
00:10:42In any light, you'd be...
00:10:44Would I?
00:10:45And don't you know it.
00:10:48Perhaps I do.
00:10:59That priceless woman.
00:11:01You wouldn't believe it, but she's absurdly romantic.
00:11:03She loves dreamy music, and...
00:11:06She thinks that we...
00:11:07But, uh...
00:11:08We do, don't we?
00:11:09Do we?
00:11:10Well, it's rather soothing.
00:11:13Restful.
00:11:14Yes.
00:11:16And we all need rest at times.
00:11:18Like tired children who've played too long.
00:11:23You've played with wooden soldiers, I suppose.
00:11:26Hmm.
00:11:27Funny.
00:11:28Hadn't thought of that for years.
00:11:30Toy boats were my special joy.
00:11:33Anything I could set afloat anywhere.
00:11:36Like this.
00:11:39And this.
00:11:42Toy boats sailing into the never-never land.
00:11:45The land of beautiful dreams.
00:11:48Look.
00:11:50Look, odd isn't it how the light is reflected.
00:11:55Little specks of light that move and move.
00:11:59Like stars on a slowly moving stream.
00:12:04You know, Holmes, I'm very sensitive to atmosphere.
00:12:06Oh?
00:12:07Yes, I can tell by the feel of this room there's been a murder committed here.
00:12:09It may interest you to know, my dear fellow.
00:12:11It was the other side of that door, at the foot of the stairs, that the poor girl was murdered.
00:12:15If only I could find it.
00:12:16Find what?
00:12:18The one thing these unfortunate victims have in common
00:12:21that might give us a motive for these murders.
00:12:23There must be something.
00:12:24Another Jack the Ripper, if you ask me.
00:12:26A homicidal maniac.
00:12:27No, Watson.
00:12:27In the case of Jack the Ripper, there was one thing in common.
00:12:30His victims were all from one walk of life, living in the same section of the city.
00:12:33In this case, the murderer chooses his victims from all walks of life
00:12:36and from different sections of the city.
00:12:38No, my dear fellow, this is not the work of a homicidal maniac.
00:12:42It's something infinitely more sinister.
00:12:44You're the creeps.
00:12:45What on earth are you talking about?
00:12:46Watson, I'm convinced that these murders are only incidental
00:12:51to some larger and more diabolical scheme.
00:12:53That may be, but why the severed fingers?
00:12:55The answer to that question, my dear fellow,
00:12:57is our only hope of solving these mysteries.
00:12:59Dear sister, I am so happy.
00:13:01I had such a lovely holiday at Brighton with you and Alf.
00:13:04And I'm looking forward to being with you again.
00:13:07Poor little thing.
00:13:09Sort of raises a lump in your throat.
00:13:11I can picture her sitting here happily writing this letter
00:13:13and a lot bit of realising that she's shortly going to her death.
00:13:18Hello?
00:13:20Gregson.
00:13:25Oh, there you are, Mr. Holmes.
00:13:26I've been looking for you everywhere.
00:13:27What's happened?
00:13:28Murder in Edgeway Road, not half an hour ago.
00:13:30Woman?
00:13:30Yes.
00:13:31On the right forefinger, cut off clean.
00:13:37Oh, there you are.
00:13:38Oh, there you are.
00:13:46Oh, there you are.
00:13:53Oh.
00:13:54Oh, dear.
00:13:58Oh, dear.
00:13:59Oh, dear.
00:14:12Oof, that's the second one.
00:14:17Yes, sir!
00:14:18It's about the murder.
00:14:23Get your papers!
00:14:28Horrible murder, paper, all about the murder.
00:14:33Morning, paper, all about the murder.
00:14:36Paper, horrible murder.
00:14:40Another young woman found murder, paper, sir.
00:14:43Horrible murder, paper, paper, read all about it.
00:14:51Get your paper, murdering her to her rope.
00:14:54Horrible finger murder.
00:15:00Shocky murder, murdering her to her rope.
00:15:05Horrible murder for a young woman.
00:15:10All about the murder.
00:15:18Only fancy, Mum.
00:15:20There's been another of those horrible murders.
00:15:22Dear, dear, how shocking.
00:15:24Yes, Mum.
00:15:25I really don't feel quite safe here myself.
00:15:30Oh, dear.
00:15:43Why, Sir George!
00:15:44I must see Miss Marlowe at once.
00:15:45I don't know if she...
00:15:46I must see her. Where is she?
00:15:51Lydia.
00:15:53Why, Sir George.
00:15:55What is it? What happened?
00:15:56I don't know.
00:15:58You'll have to help me.
00:15:59You've got to help me.
00:16:00But I don't understand.
00:16:01Listen.
00:16:02I woke up a few minutes ago in a cheap boarding house off Edgeware Road.
00:16:08I don't know how I came there.
00:16:09I don't know when.
00:16:10The last thing I remember is being here with you.
00:16:12Calm yourself, Sir George.
00:16:14When did I leave here?
00:16:16Well, it was about...
00:16:19It was 10.45, Mum.
00:16:22Precisely.
00:16:25You seemed...
00:16:26Forgive me.
00:16:27Just a little distressed.
00:16:29Detached.
00:16:30Not interested.
00:16:32I thought I'd said something to offend you.
00:16:35I don't remember.
00:16:43I don't remember.
00:16:44I can't remember.
00:16:45Tell me.
00:16:46Has this happened to you before?
00:16:49Before?
00:16:50Well, there is such a thing as amnesia, you know.
00:16:54It was 10.45 when I left you.
00:16:58It was nine this morning when I woke.
00:17:01Over ten hours lost.
00:17:05Ten hours that I can't account for.
00:17:08And in my pocket, when I woke, I found...
00:17:10Yeah, in my pocket.
00:17:14That...
00:17:15That isn't...
00:17:16Oh, it's not for you, of course.
00:17:18It can't be.
00:17:21Excuse me, Mum.
00:17:22But there's a man asking to see the gentleman.
00:17:25Send him away.
00:17:26Yes, Mum.
00:17:27No, no, no.
00:17:28No, please.
00:17:29I'll see him.
00:17:38Well?
00:17:40Delightful room.
00:17:42Not much like the place you woke up in this morning.
00:17:46You followed me here?
00:17:47Yes.
00:17:50Are you a detective?
00:17:52Oh, no.
00:17:54Quite the contrary.
00:17:56Don't be afraid, Sir George.
00:17:58You know my name?
00:17:59Oh, yes.
00:18:00Yes.
00:18:00A very old and highly honored name.
00:18:03And being the bearer of such a name,
00:18:06and also a very wealthy man,
00:18:08I thought you might care to possess yourself with this trifle.
00:18:15Rather than let it fall into the hands of the police.
00:18:18It is yours, if I'm not mistaken.
00:18:20The initials, G.F.
00:18:25I...
00:18:25Where did you get this, sir?
00:18:27It came out of your pocket.
00:18:29I saw it fall, but you never noticed.
00:18:35You were very busy
00:18:37bending over something
00:18:40with a knife.
00:18:44Then you put something in your pocket.
00:18:56Come along Holmes, come along, come along.
00:18:58How many more times must I tell you?
00:19:00You're missing a treat.
00:19:01This is delicious.
00:19:02Little jam tarts to follow.
00:19:04Aren't you tempted?
00:19:05Hmm.
00:19:08You and your fleshpots.
00:19:12They tell me that the fish is good for the brains.
00:19:16Brains haven't any.
00:19:18You realize that a day, a whole day and a night have gone by
00:19:21since their best of affair on Edgewell Road?
00:19:24I'm as much in the dark as ever.
00:19:33Hello.
00:19:34Here comes a client in this, I'm very much mistaken.
00:19:45Well, attractive.
00:19:47Very attractive.
00:19:54Obviously she left home under the stress of some very great emotion.
00:19:57How do you know about it?
00:19:58She isn't wearing any gloves.
00:19:59A startling omission on a young lady of fashion.
00:20:01No, she didn't put her coat on.
00:20:03Opened car too.
00:20:09I don't know.
00:20:10Furthermore, there's something in that bag she wants to show me.
00:20:12What makes you say that?
00:20:14The bag doesn't match her dress.
00:20:15Indicating it was picked for size rather than style.
00:20:19To accommodate some bulky object.
00:20:22You're amazed, my Holmes.
00:20:23Let him into my dear fellow.
00:20:30Well, that's interesting.
00:20:32What is?
00:20:34The cab.
00:20:35Turning at the empty house.
00:20:41I wonder why he followed her here.
00:20:42Oh, wouldn't you?
00:20:44Bye, Carson.
00:20:44Give me the glasses.
00:21:04Well, we shall soon know.
00:21:05Yes, Mrs. Hudson?
00:21:09It's a young lady, sir.
00:21:10Most urgent.
00:21:11Ask her to come in.
00:21:12Go right in, miss.
00:21:17Mr. Holmes?
00:21:18Yes.
00:21:18This is my friend, Dr. Watson.
00:21:19How do you do?
00:21:20How do you do?
00:21:21Mr. Holmes, I...
00:21:22You must excuse me, please.
00:21:24I...
00:21:24Yes, well, won't you sit down?
00:21:26Come along.
00:21:26May I?
00:21:28It's quite all right.
00:21:40Now, try to control yourself, Miss Fenwick.
00:21:41You're with friends.
00:21:43You know my name?
00:21:44No magic, I assure you.
00:21:45I've often seen your picture.
00:21:47You're the daughter of Sir George, Fenwick, aren't you?
00:21:49Yes.
00:21:50It's about my father that I...
00:21:52What about your father, Miss Fenwick?
00:21:54Oh, I don't know what to do.
00:21:56He's always been the nicest, dearest person.
00:22:01Only since Mother died.
00:22:03Yes, yes, Mother.
00:22:04We know.
00:22:06So I didn't think anything of it when he was away all night before last.
00:22:10But he didn't come home until yesterday at tea time.
00:22:13He didn't come in for dinner at all.
00:22:15Just paced up and down in the library hour after hour.
00:22:18I begged him to let me in, but he wouldn't.
00:22:21Steady, steady.
00:22:24Now take your time.
00:22:26I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
00:22:29Then I started hearing things.
00:22:31Hearing things?
00:22:32What sort of things?
00:22:34I heard someone in the garden underneath my window.
00:22:38Then I saw a figure moving down the garden path.
00:22:41And I recognized my father.
00:22:44Stealing through his own garden like a thief.
00:22:52He had a spade in his hand.
00:22:54And he stopped by the greenhouse where he started to dig.
00:23:01This morning, at daybreak, I...
00:23:03I stole onto the garden and...
00:23:06I found this.
00:23:14A finger.
00:23:15A human finger.
00:23:17Bring up Scotland Yard, will you, Watson?
00:23:20Ask them to get hold of Inspector Gregson and tell him to meet us once.
00:23:23It's George Fenwick's house, Kingston.
00:23:26Operator, get Miss Scotland Yard quick.
00:23:31Where's my father, Norris?
00:23:33He's still in the library, Miss.
00:23:34We'll see him right away.
00:23:35Will you come with me, please?
00:23:37I got your message, Mr. Holmes.
00:23:39Yes, indeed.
00:23:43Please.
00:23:44Dad, may I come in?
00:23:47Dad.
00:23:49It's funny.
00:23:52He doesn't answer.
00:23:54Do you mind?
00:23:56Please do.
00:23:59Watson, quick.
00:24:01Come along with me.
00:24:01No, no, no.
00:24:02Take charge of Miss Fenwick, please.
00:24:03No, no, no.
00:24:04Please, please.
00:24:04Come along with me.
00:24:11Dead?
00:24:13Yes.
00:24:17What do you make of it, Doctor?
00:24:18Shot in the back between the second and third ribs.
00:24:21The bullet undoubtedly penetrated the heart.
00:24:23Look at the powder marks on his coat.
00:24:25I was afraid of this.
00:24:27What do you mean?
00:24:28Don't you remember the man in the cab who followed Miss Fenwick
00:24:30to Baker Street?
00:24:31Well, you don't think he had anything to do with it, do you?
00:24:32I think it's reasonable to assume that he tipped off someone
00:24:35that I'd been sent for.
00:24:37Sir George has obviously been murdered
00:24:38to keep him from telling me what he knew.
00:24:40What was the weapon used?
00:24:42Small caliber revolver.
00:24:43Point-blank range, by the look of the wound.
00:24:47The murderer came in through those French windows.
00:24:49The mud from the garden he brought in on his boots.
00:24:52Sir George must have surprised the intruder.
00:24:55Passed the room to him here.
00:24:59What follows we can't tell.
00:25:00But from the location of the wound,
00:25:03I'd say that he turned his back for a moment
00:25:04and as he turned,
00:25:06the muzzle of the revolver was placed between his ribs
00:25:08and one muffled shot fired.
00:25:10And you mean to say he kept on going?
00:25:12Even after he was shot?
00:25:13There's no doubt about it.
00:25:14Look there.
00:25:16The trail of blood leads us back to the desk.
00:25:20Something Sir George was after.
00:25:26I know.
00:25:27He was trying to summon help, Poacher.
00:25:28I don't think so, Watson.
00:25:29There's the bell-pull by the fireplace.
00:25:32No, you'll notice from the trail of blood
00:25:35that Sir George made straight for this desk here.
00:25:38I wonder.
00:25:39There was something he was desperately anxious to get.
00:25:43Hello.
00:25:44His right hand's clenched.
00:25:46That's perfectly natural.
00:25:47Death agony.
00:25:49The left hand lies open.
00:25:50Why only one hand?
00:25:53The right hand.
00:25:54The hand nearest the desk.
00:25:55Please note that.
00:25:57If Sir George took something off this desk,
00:26:00something so important
00:26:01that he spilled his last drop of blood to get it,
00:26:04I want to know what it is.
00:26:19It's nothing but an ordinary match folder.
00:26:21Well, where does that lead us?
00:26:24I imagine to something very important, Gregson.
00:26:27This match folder's from Pembroke House.
00:26:29Why shouldn't it be?
00:26:30He was there, you know.
00:26:32We saw him yesterday.
00:26:33Yes, but the effort he made after he was shot
00:26:35to get hold of this match folder.
00:26:38It's just possible
00:26:41that he wanted someone to remember Pembroke House.
00:26:45You may have wished to recall it to someone who saw it there.
00:26:47Someone who, like ourselves, saw him with a woman.
00:27:08Come in.
00:27:10Oh, Dr. Watson, this came by hand for Mr. Holmes,
00:27:14not ten minutes ago.
00:27:15Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
00:27:19That would be the report from Mr. George's bank.
00:27:21The report from Mr. George?
00:27:23Oh, really?
00:27:24Don't you remember his daughter told us
00:27:26that he'd just closed his account?
00:27:27Had he looked into it once.
00:27:33Hmm.
00:27:35He drew out his entire balance in cash,
00:27:38nearly 10,000 pounds, yesterday,
00:27:40just after that young woman was murdered.
00:27:42What does that suggest to you, Watson?
00:27:44Well, he paid it out to someone.
00:27:45Precisely.
00:27:46I smell the faint, sweet odour of blackmail.
00:27:50You don't think he paid it out to someone
00:27:51who saw him murdered the McLean woman?
00:27:53Sir George never murdered anyone.
00:27:54But he did have that woman's finger,
00:27:56and he eventually did have a lot of...
00:27:57and pay out a lot of cash.
00:27:58That's the terrifying part about blackmail, Watson.
00:28:02The victim is afraid to fight the accusation
00:28:03no matter how false.
00:28:04Once the accusation is made,
00:28:07his name is smeared,
00:28:09and sometimes his life is ruined.
00:28:12Well, if Sir George didn't commit these murders,
00:28:15what Fiend did?
00:28:16I rather think they're not the work of any one man.
00:28:19Oh, come, Holmes.
00:28:21You don't expect me to believe
00:28:22there's a whole organisation going about killing people
00:28:24and chopping off their fingers?
00:28:26That's possible, quite possible.
00:28:28Well, whoever's behind all this thing
00:28:30must be out of his mind.
00:28:32On the contrary, my dear fellow,
00:28:33if my assumptions are correct,
00:28:35this little scheme has behind it
00:28:37the most brilliant and ruthless intellect
00:28:39the world has ever known.
00:28:40You don't mean Professor Moriarty?
00:28:42I do.
00:28:42Oh, steady, Holmes.
00:28:43You've got him on the brain.
00:28:44This is the third time in as many months
00:28:46he was suspected of unsolved crimes.
00:28:48He's dead, you know.
00:28:49Is he?
00:28:50Is he?
00:28:50You know he is.
00:28:51He was hanged in Montevideo all over a year ago.
00:28:54I know that someone was hanged in Montevideo
00:28:56under that name,
00:28:57but I'll stake my reputation
00:28:59that Moriarty is alive and here.
00:29:02Now, in London.
00:29:07Hello?
00:29:08Yes, but Dr. Watson, wait a minute.
00:29:11Who, me?
00:29:14Hello, yes?
00:29:16This is Dr. Watson speaking.
00:29:18No, no, I'm afraid I've retired.
00:29:20I don't practise any more.
00:29:22What?
00:29:23Oh, that's a different thing.
00:29:26An emergency case.
00:29:27Where?
00:29:28Just a minute.
00:29:32Yes?
00:29:33Yes, well, see it.
00:29:33She's not moved.
00:29:35Remember that?
00:29:36Don't touch her till I get there.
00:29:39Fractured case in the cardinal's mules.
00:29:41Heavy woman.
00:29:43Fourteen stone.
00:29:50Just the sort of person who would hoist herself up on a stool
00:29:54to feed the canary.
00:29:55There ought to be a law against fat people
00:29:57keeping little dicky birds.
00:30:00Well...
00:30:01So long, old man.
00:30:02It's not very long.
00:30:03Haven't used that bag since I bought little Amelia.
00:30:06What's her name in the world?
00:30:07She grew up to be a very unattractive child.
00:30:09Well, who wouldn't with a name like Amelia?
00:30:11Amelia.
00:30:13Amelia.
00:30:27Amelia.
00:30:29People are so stupid about action.
00:30:54But it's not always the same thing.
00:30:54No, that's when she got your hair.
00:30:54No, I'm not making her hair.
00:30:56It's so dumb but...
00:30:56No, that's always the same thing.
00:30:56Stop it!
00:30:58No, I'm not making her hair...
00:30:59What I'm making my hair again.
00:30:59The name, what I'm making my hair?
00:30:59I'm not making my hair.
00:31:00You must be perfect.
00:31:03Ah, I'm making hair.
00:31:04I'm making hair.
00:31:04Oh, my God.
00:31:27Oh, Professor Moriarty, not that I wish to appear inquisitive, not to what am I indebted for the pleasure of
00:31:33this visit.
00:31:34Scotland Yard will be interested.
00:31:36It's very convenient for me to have Scotland Yard think that I'm still dead in Montevideo.
00:31:42I never dreamed of fooling you.
00:31:45The thought occurs to me, Mr. Holmes, that there are some advantages in living within the law.
00:31:54You are very comfortably fixed here, aren't you?
00:31:57As I get on in life, the little comforts appeal to me more and more.
00:32:04Oh, I beg your pardon. Won't you sit down?
00:32:23And now, Professor Moriarty, what can I do for you?
00:32:26Everything that I have to say to you has already crossed your mind.
00:32:30And my answer is no doubt crossed yours.
00:32:33Yes, final.
00:32:35What do you think?
00:32:37I shall not rest until you are hanged for the finger murders.
00:32:41You have no proof, you know.
00:32:47You're not a shred.
00:32:49But I have you.
00:32:51I could turn you over to the police here and now.
00:32:54Oh, you could.
00:32:56But if you did, you'd never see Dr. Watson again.
00:33:00Oh, the telephone call.
00:33:02Quite.
00:33:03I rather assumed you had taken some such precaution.
00:33:07Or I should have snatched up a revolver
00:33:10and indulged in a fit of heroics when you came in.
00:33:13Very smart, aren't you?
00:33:16Not smart enough.
00:33:18Or I should have anticipated you.
00:33:19But
00:33:21if any harm comes to Dr. Watson, I shall seek you out.
00:33:24I shall not rest until I find you.
00:33:26And when I do...
00:33:27No harm will come to Dr. Watson this time.
00:33:30But I can't answer for the future.
00:33:33Mr. Holmes, I should strongly advise you to drop this case.
00:33:36Don't be silly.
00:33:38Think it over.
00:33:39We've had many encounters in the past.
00:33:42You hope to place me on the gallows.
00:33:44I tell you, I shall never stand up on the gallows.
00:33:46But
00:33:48if you are instrumental in any way
00:33:50in bringing about my destruction,
00:33:52you will not be alive to enjoy your satisfaction.
00:33:55And we shall walk together
00:33:56through the gates of eternity, hand in hand.
00:33:58What a charming picture that would make.
00:34:00Yes, wouldn't it?
00:34:00I really think it might be worth it.
00:34:09Shoelaces, Captain.
00:34:10Governor, it happens up here.
00:34:12End strong enough to end yourself.
00:34:13How many more times
00:34:14since I tell you I don't want
00:34:15your filthy shoelaces or your company?
00:34:19Shoelaces, Governor.
00:34:20Last is impertinence.
00:34:21Run along, my good man,
00:34:22or I'll give you in charge.
00:34:24Shoelaces, Governor.
00:34:29Shoelaces, Governor.
00:34:31You're poor, poor bloke.
00:34:32What's only got one arm?
00:34:35Any luck with Mr. Holmes?
00:34:36You can read his obituary
00:34:37in tomorrow's papers.
00:34:50Oh, there you are, Watson.
00:34:52Come in.
00:34:52I was, uh,
00:34:55just going out to look for you.
00:34:56Look for me what for?
00:34:58Suppose you don't think I know my way about?
00:35:00Well, you're right, I don't.
00:35:02Blast all practical jokers anyhow.
00:35:03Know where I've been?
00:35:05I'm a wild goose chase.
00:35:06Exactly.
00:35:07There's no such number in McArdle's muse.
00:35:09Some fool's idea of a joke.
00:35:12Did you, uh,
00:35:14did you see anyone?
00:35:16No, nobody especially.
00:35:17Only a whining old idiot
00:35:18selling bootlaces.
00:35:20Persistent beggar, wasn't he?
00:35:21Stuck to you like grim death.
00:35:23Oh, how do you know?
00:35:24And finally left you
00:35:25for someone who looked like
00:35:26better pickings.
00:35:28Someone, my dear Watson,
00:35:29was Professor Moriarty himself.
00:35:31What?
00:35:32He's just called on me.
00:35:33Moriarty here
00:35:34and you let him go?
00:35:35But you must be out of your mind.
00:35:36Why?
00:35:37Well, he bluffed me
00:35:38into believing
00:35:38that he was holding
00:35:39a friend of mine as hostage.
00:35:40Friendly of who?
00:35:41Oh, nobody very important.
00:35:42Just a fat, lazy fellow.
00:35:43Medical man, I believe.
00:35:44Medical man?
00:35:45Do I know him?
00:35:46Yes, I think you do.
00:35:47A fellow by the name of Watson.
00:35:48Watson, Watson, never heard...
00:35:50Who?
00:35:51Me?
00:35:51I'm afraid so, old fellow.
00:35:53Your street hawker's job
00:35:57was to do away with you
00:35:59in a certain contingency.
00:36:00And you let Moriarty go
00:36:02because of me?
00:36:03I had no choice.
00:36:04I can't afford to lose you, old fellow.
00:36:07Well, that's very decent
00:36:08of the old chap, I must say,
00:36:09but I wish you'd nabbed him.
00:36:13We shall, never fear.
00:36:15I know the motive
00:36:16for the finger murders.
00:36:17All I have to find out now
00:36:18is the method used
00:36:19with the blackmail victim.
00:36:21The method?
00:36:22Yes.
00:36:23How does Moriarty
00:36:24get them to the scene of the crime?
00:36:26How does he plant
00:36:27those severed fingers on them?
00:36:29And how does he scare them
00:36:31into believing that, uh,
00:36:34they may have committed
00:36:35those atrocious murders themselves?
00:36:38Curious?
00:36:44Very curious.
00:36:47Curious?
00:36:48What's curious?
00:36:51That window in the empty house
00:36:53across the street.
00:36:57First floor front.
00:36:58Oh?
00:36:59What's wrong with it?
00:37:00It's open.
00:37:02Why shouldn't it be open?
00:37:03Well, it wasn't open
00:37:04half an hour ago.
00:37:05I'll stake my life on that.
00:37:06Oh, that's not our business.
00:37:08Let it stay open.
00:37:09I, uh,
00:37:11wonder if you'd go over, old fellow,
00:37:12and see what's the matter.
00:37:14Oh, trespassing.
00:37:15Against the law.
00:37:16Very well.
00:37:17I'll go myself.
00:37:18Oh, well,
00:37:18if you're going to put it like that,
00:37:20ridiculous waste of time.
00:37:22Going about shutting windows
00:37:23at this hour of the night.
00:37:24Yeah, you'd better take this torch.
00:37:25Well, take what?
00:37:27Dignified job for a doctor.
00:37:29Dr. Watson, the torchbearer.
00:37:30And what do you propose to do?
00:37:32Sit in a comfortable chair, I suppose,
00:37:33and read a good book.
00:37:34That's a very good idea.
00:37:35Yeah, it's a very good idea.
00:37:36Well, I play night watchman.
00:37:37You have a nice read.
00:37:39Good night.
00:37:40Have a good time.
00:37:41Have a good time.
00:37:41What do you know?
00:38:08What on earth is it for?
00:38:11Who?
00:38:12I'd better stand.
00:38:14Pretty little thing to keep about the house.
00:38:17Must have been a pet.
00:38:46Oh, sir.
00:38:53You're a rat, Barbara.
00:38:56This was for you to look.
00:39:16Oh, well, he's such comfortable reading a book.
00:39:48Stop it!
00:39:51He killed Holmes!
00:39:52He killed Sherlock!
00:39:54Watson.
00:39:55You?
00:39:56But I saw him shoot you a second ago.
00:39:58Not me, my dear fellow.
00:40:00Merely the bust of Julius Caesar.
00:40:02Incidentally, you may have noticed that all through the ages,
00:40:04prominent men have prominent noses.
00:40:12Oh, I'm afraid we're in for terrible trouble again with Mrs. Hudson.
00:40:15Windows smashed.
00:40:16Plaster all over the floor.
00:40:18Get up, you.
00:40:24Corporal Williams, Middlesex Regiment.
00:40:26Discharge from the Army is physically unfit.
00:40:30Papers seem in order.
00:40:36Now, Corporal Williams.
00:40:38You've seen service in the Far East, haven't you?
00:40:40The East?
00:40:42I thought so.
00:40:43Look at his complexion, Watson.
00:40:44Yellow Saffron.
00:40:46He's been taking Atabrine.
00:40:47Cure for malaria.
00:40:49Sniper, aren't you?
00:40:51Sniper.
00:40:54Why did you try to kill me?
00:40:58I had to kill him.
00:41:00I had to.
00:41:02Oh, snap out of it!
00:41:03Stop it, Watson.
00:41:04He's shamming.
00:41:04No, he isn't.
00:41:06Who told you to kill me?
00:41:09She told me.
00:41:11She told you?
00:41:13She told me I couldn't miss.
00:41:16Well, luckily you did miss, you murderer.
00:41:18He isn't a murderer, Watson.
00:41:22Listen, Corporal Williams.
00:41:25She told you you had to do it, didn't she?
00:41:29I had to do it.
00:41:31I've got it, Watson.
00:41:32I've got it.
00:41:32Got what?
00:41:33The method used in the finger murders.
00:41:35Well, what is it?
00:41:36Hypnotism, my dear fellow.
00:41:38Hypnotism.
00:41:41And it wasn't against his nature.
00:41:42That's the devilish part of it.
00:41:44They picked a man for their purpose whose job was sniping.
00:41:47Who are they?
00:41:48Professor Moriarty and his finger murderers.
00:41:51Williams spoke of a woman.
00:41:53I think you will find that she asked him home tonight for a drink.
00:41:58Nice quiet rooms.
00:42:00Soft lights, music.
00:42:01He's got it all packed, Mr. Holmes.
00:42:03What's the lady look like?
00:42:05Oh.
00:42:06Up 30.
00:42:07Nice figure.
00:42:08Blonde.
00:42:09Lustrous eyes.
00:42:10Oh, really?
00:42:11Got her phone number?
00:42:13Oh, sir.
00:42:16Williams will give us her address.
00:42:19Look after him, Gregson.
00:42:21Don't let anyone come near him.
00:42:23He's our key witness in the finger murders.
00:42:25Well, I hope you're guessing right, Mr. Holmes.
00:42:29Get up, Williams.
00:42:33Now, go with Inspector Gregson anywhere he tells you.
00:42:36Come on.
00:42:42Ring me as soon as he comes to himself, will you?
00:42:44I will.
00:42:46Good night, gentlemen.
00:42:47Good night.
00:42:49Well, if you believe that fellow Williams was hypnotized,
00:42:52I suppose you think Sir George Fenwick was hypnotized too.
00:42:54Yes, I'm quite sure of it.
00:42:56Have a cup of tea.
00:42:57Thanks, sir boy. Nothing to eat.
00:42:58Well, why didn't these people make Sir George do the murder himself?
00:43:02Because they didn't want to get him hanged.
00:43:06They, uh...
00:43:07They wanted to blackmail him.
00:43:08Well, who do you think the actual murderer is?
00:43:11What a Moriarty's gang.
00:43:12A diabolically simple technique.
00:43:15Kill a woman.
00:43:16Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:17But why cut off the fingers?
00:43:19My dear fellow, don't you understand?
00:43:21The severed finger is what links the blackmail victim to the murderer.
00:43:25He wakes.
00:43:26Finds the grizzly thing in his pocket.
00:43:28Doesn't know how he got there.
00:43:29He's no idea that he's been hypnotized.
00:43:31For all he knows,
00:43:33he may have committed the atrocious crime
00:43:36during some dreadful lapse of sanity.
00:43:39In that state when he's utterly demoralized,
00:43:42the blackmailers take over.
00:43:43Is that it?
00:43:44Undoubtedly.
00:43:44You see, they swear that they saw him commit the murder.
00:43:47And being human,
00:43:48the victim will pay anything rather than stand trial on a charge
00:43:51that will make his very name loathsome.
00:43:53Oh, it all fits in if you believe in hypnotism.
00:43:56The only possible explanation.
00:43:58You think the hypnotist is that woman with the blonde hair,
00:44:02the lustrous eyes,
00:44:03the woman you invented?
00:44:05I didn't invent her.
00:44:07I saw her.
00:44:08What earth are you talking about?
00:44:10That woman, my dear Watson,
00:44:13was with Sir George when he left Pembroke House.
00:44:16I saw her there.
00:44:17I shall see her again.
00:44:19And Williams will lead me to her.
00:44:21That's why it's so important to keep him safe.
00:44:23He will identify her.
00:44:29Hello?
00:44:31Yes?
00:44:31Inspector Gregson?
00:44:35What?
00:44:37I'll get every constable in the district.
00:44:40Yes, I'll be over at once.
00:44:41What's happened, Holmes?
00:44:42Williams is missing.
00:44:43Great Scott!
00:44:44Come on.
00:44:50Laurie crashed into Gregson's car during the confusion.
00:44:52Williams disappeared.
00:44:54Escaped, eh?
00:44:54No.
00:44:55Kidnapped.
00:44:56To keep him from talking when he came to.
00:44:57You don't think that Mariatti...
00:44:58Mariatti?
00:45:00Anything is possible.
00:45:06Williams!
00:45:08Dead.
00:45:09You see?
00:45:10Anything is possible.
00:45:35Good morning, Professor Mariatti.
00:45:38You startled me.
00:45:40I'm dressing another Dali.
00:45:42A dear little nurse.
00:45:46Is there anything wrong with your finger?
00:45:49Just a splinter.
00:45:50Nasty thing splinters.
00:45:53Most trying.
00:45:54One can't be too careful.
00:45:57But I'll get it out for you.
00:45:59I have the very instrument to help you.
00:46:06Sharp enough to split a hair.
00:46:08Put those tools away until they're needed.
00:46:10But they're not tools, sir.
00:46:12They're instruments.
00:46:13Put them away.
00:46:14Is Lydia in?
00:46:16Yes.
00:46:18But really, you should let me...
00:46:23Get dressed.
00:46:24Holmes and Watson have just left Baker Street for the Mesmer Club.
00:46:27Mesmer Club?
00:46:28The meeting place of all the top hypnotists in London.
00:46:31Do you suppose that Mr. Holmes is on to our method?
00:46:34If he suspects, it's merely a suspicion.
00:46:39It's our business to see that it ends there.
00:46:41I hope you're right.
00:46:43William has passed away before he could talk, remember?
00:46:47What do you want me to do?
00:46:48Go to the Mesmer Club.
00:46:50Meet Holmes.
00:46:51And induce him to come back here.
00:46:54Isn't that a bit dangerous?
00:46:56Every meeting with Sherlock Holmes is potentially dangerous.
00:47:01However, you say he didn't see your face at Pembroke House.
00:47:05And how would you suggest I get Mr. Holmes to accompany me here?
00:47:10Kidnap him?
00:47:11Oh, no.
00:47:12Holmes has one weakness.
00:47:14His insatiable curiosity.
00:47:16If you can arouse that, you can lead him anywhere.
00:47:19It's up to you to take advantage of any opportunity that may arise.
00:47:23This way, please, gentlemen.
00:47:26I'll tell Dr. Onslow that you're here.
00:47:29And this is the Mesmer Club.
00:47:32If you ask me, hypnotism is a lot of mumbo-jumbo.
00:47:36Oh, come now, Watson.
00:47:37As a medical man, you must admit that hypnotism has its place in modern science.
00:47:40That may be, but 90% of hypnotists are crooks of the worst kind.
00:47:44Nothing more than a lot of charlatans exploiting weak-willed morons.
00:47:48Ah. Dr. Onslow, I believe.
00:47:50Happy to meet you, Mr. Holmes.
00:47:52Your brother Mycroft suggested I might be of help to you.
00:47:55He's a valued member of our little group of charlatans and crooks.
00:48:00Oh, I beg your pardon, sir. I didn't know you were listening.
00:48:02Behind the curtain.
00:48:03My friend, Dr. Watson.
00:48:04Ah, delighted.
00:48:05I do, sir.
00:48:05I wonder, now.
00:48:07You see, we're in the midst of a little experimental session at this very moment.
00:48:10If you'd, uh, care to join us.
00:48:13Oh, certainly, certainly.
00:48:14I'll be very instructive.
00:48:15Oh, well, will you follow me?
00:48:17I know, sir.
00:48:18What if I had a blasted clinic?
00:48:20In treating his patients.
00:48:21But today, the therapeutic value of hypnotism, as we now call it,
00:48:26is conceded by innumerable physicians.
00:48:30Especially is of value in surgical cases
00:48:32where the administration of local or of general anesthetic is inadvisable.
00:48:37Inadvisable poppycock.
00:48:39For the sake of latecomers, I may say that I have placed this subject under profound hypnosis.
00:48:46In this condition, he can feel no pain.
00:48:49Even under applications which normally would be excruciating.
00:48:53Excruciating?
00:48:54Will you excuse me, please?
00:48:57Carter, you are having a peaceful sleep.
00:49:00You feel nothing.
00:49:02Your arms and your hands are without sensation.
00:49:06Mowry, the long needle.
00:49:15Carter, give me your right hand.
00:49:26As you observe, the needle has been thrust completely through the subject's hand.
00:49:30No feeling, no pain.
00:49:32This lack of feeling is the one infallible test of profound hypnosis.
00:49:38Nonsense.
00:49:39The fellow's full of drugs.
00:49:41Well, isn't he?
00:49:41Definitely not, Doctor.
00:49:47Wake up, Carter. Wake up.
00:49:49You'll feel well and rested, remember.
00:49:51No pain anywhere.
00:49:53Wake up, wake up.
00:49:57I say, when are you going to begin?
00:49:59All through, Carter. Stand up.
00:50:04This way, sir.
00:50:07And, uh, are these all the people that come here?
00:50:10Oh, no, no, no. Others keep dropping in all the time.
00:50:12I suppose it's all right for those who believe in it, but of course, I'm a professional man myself.
00:50:17Then you don't believe in hypnotism, Doctor Watson?
00:50:20Oh, I don't deny that there are certain types of hysterical feeble-minded people who go under a few point
00:50:25of finger at them.
00:50:26But anyone with an ounce of character.
00:50:29How right you are.
00:50:31You see right through our little artifices, don't you, Doctor?
00:50:34Right through, my dear sir. Right through.
00:50:36Right so.
00:50:37But with the feeble-minded, as you say...
00:50:41Excuse us, Mr. Holmes.
00:50:43Oh, certainly.
00:50:43Step over here, won't you?
00:50:45Certainly, sir. Anything to oblige?
00:50:46Let me show you how easily we charlatans take advantage of them.
00:50:52Now, sit down, Doctor.
00:50:58Now, we set a thing like this in motion.
00:51:04It's wonderful, the attraction.
00:51:06On the feeble-minded, of course.
00:51:09The continuous motion,
00:51:12if they just let themselves follow it.
00:51:16Of course, you could stare at it till doona's day, Doctor Watson.
00:51:20With no effect at all.
00:51:24Still, it might make you a little drowsy.
00:51:29Like the white ribbon of road at night, when you're driving.
00:51:35The rhythm is smooth, unbroken.
00:51:40And the road goes on and on, round and round.
00:51:46Always the same, winding and winding.
00:51:51And you're drowsy.
00:51:54You're tired.
00:51:56Let the road come into you, as it were.
00:52:00The long road.
00:52:03The smooth road.
00:52:06The road to sleep.
00:52:10Sleep.
00:52:18Open your eyes.
00:52:21Stand up.
00:52:26Turn round.
00:52:29And now, Doctor Watson, you're on a holiday in Scotland.
00:52:32The country is amazingly beautiful.
00:52:36We're coming to a stream.
00:52:39It isn't deep.
00:52:42Better take your shoes and socks off.
00:52:56Roll up your trouser.
00:53:03That will do.
00:53:04The other leg is waterproof.
00:53:08Turn round.
00:53:10Mind the pedals.
00:53:17Sit down.
00:53:23Wake up now.
00:53:30There you are, you see?
00:53:32What did I tell you?
00:53:32It didn't work with me.
00:53:33Why, nobody with an ounce of carri...
00:53:38Hm?
00:53:40Hm?
00:53:42I think you'll need these.
00:53:50You're going to laugh at it.
00:53:51Watson, she's here.
00:53:53Oh, the woman you're looking for?
00:53:54Yes, I'm going to meet her.
00:53:56Perhaps I can induce her to take me to Moriarty.
00:53:58Do you think it's wise, Holmes?
00:53:59It may not be wise, but it's essential.
00:54:01After all, I've held me on with Moriarty in the past.
00:54:03But isn't it dangerous?
00:54:04She might be a hypnotist.
00:54:06My will isn't stronger than hers.
00:54:07I deserve to be hypnotized.
00:54:08Shh.
00:54:09I feel I must protest, Dr. Onslow.
00:54:11I was told this was a gathering of serious students,
00:54:13of a great science.
00:54:15And I find myself in a company of buffoons.
00:54:17Oh, my dear, madam.
00:54:18Elletson, as dear brain.
00:54:20Were those men martyrs for the truth?
00:54:22That you may laugh over your childish cruel tricks?
00:54:24I must say, I'm in complete agreement with you, madam.
00:54:26This was most unnecessary performance, Dr. Onslow.
00:54:29I beg your pardon, sir.
00:54:30My name is Holmes, Sherlock Holmes.
00:54:32At your service, madam.
00:54:34Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:54:35I'm afraid I've created a rather embarrassing situation.
00:54:38But you see, I'm interested in the serious study of hypnotism.
00:54:41So am I, too.
00:54:42Perhaps we have something in common, Mr. Holmes.
00:54:44Perhaps we have.
00:54:45Would you join me for a cocktail at Pembroke House?
00:54:47I should be delighted.
00:54:49Good.
00:55:05I didn't know there was such a pleasant place in London.
00:55:08It was so nice of you to suggest our coming here.
00:55:10I thought a little pick-me-up would do us good.
00:55:12You mean you thought I looked...
00:55:14I like the way you look.
00:55:20I suppose I did lose my head a little at the Mesmer Club.
00:55:23But you see, hypnotism is almost a religion with me.
00:55:27I know so well what it can do to help and heal.
00:55:30And I can't bear to see it used for trivial purposes.
00:55:32I know very little about it.
00:55:34That's why I went to the Mesmer Club.
00:55:35You see, I'm rather puzzled just now with the case that I'm working on.
00:55:38How fascinating.
00:55:39Tell me about it.
00:55:40It's the murder of Sir George Fenwick.
00:55:42Fenwick?
00:55:43Who is he?
00:55:45Quite a well-known figure.
00:55:47Odd now I come to think of it.
00:55:49The last time I saw Sir George was here at Pembroke House.
00:55:53Strange.
00:55:54Yes, isn't it?
00:55:55He was sitting...
00:55:58I believe he was sitting at this very table.
00:56:02Cigarette.
00:56:03Thanks.
00:56:03Do go on.
00:56:05There was a charming lady with him.
00:56:07He was...
00:56:08He was lighting a cigarette.
00:56:16Charming.
00:56:17Did you see her face?
00:56:19No worse luck.
00:56:21Merely her back.
00:56:23How unenterprising of you.
00:56:24Yes, wasn't it?
00:56:26I'm afraid I'm getting a little older.
00:56:27I shouldn't say so.
00:56:29That's nice of you.
00:56:30Still,
00:56:32the first time in my life
00:56:33I've got hold of a case that's beyond me.
00:56:35I'm actually losing sleep over it.
00:56:37You know, Mr. Holmes,
00:56:38I believe I could help you.
00:56:40Really?
00:56:41I should be very grateful.
00:56:43You're amused.
00:56:44Oh.
00:56:45Nearly skeptical.
00:56:46How would you go about it?
00:56:48I've used hypnotism more than once in healing.
00:56:51Not for profit.
00:56:53I'm not a professional.
00:56:54But I do think I could help you.
00:56:57If you'd care to...
00:56:59I can't think of a pleasanter experience.
00:57:17No lights, music, is that all there is to it?
00:57:19You must relax, Mr. Holmes.
00:57:21I'm afraid you're a rather difficult subject.
00:57:27So I thought perhaps a little help.
00:57:31Materia medica might be advisable.
00:57:34Drugs?
00:57:39No, I'd rather not if you don't mind.
00:57:41As a matter of fact, I'd rather not myself.
00:57:44But Schrenk-Natzing, he practiced in Munich, you know.
00:57:47Believed it the best means for difficult subjects.
00:57:50Do you mind?
00:57:51Well, as a matter of fact, I don't approve of sedatives.
00:57:54Just as you wish.
00:57:56We don't have to go on with this at all, you know.
00:57:58Wait a minute.
00:58:02Wait a minute.
00:58:06All right.
00:58:07I'll take a chance.
00:58:09It's really quite harmless.
00:58:11What is it?
00:58:13Cannabis japonica, an oriental soporific.
00:58:14You need water.
00:58:35Now, sit down, Mr. Holmes.
00:58:41You'll feel yourself growing drowsy.
00:58:43Don't fight it.
00:58:45Give in to it.
00:58:47Because you do want to sleep, you know.
00:58:52Just fix your eyes on this one white flower.
00:58:57Floating on the water.
00:59:00Empty your mind of every other thought.
00:59:03Follow the motion of the water.
00:59:07So smooth.
00:59:10Not a ripple.
00:59:12Waters of forgetfulness.
00:59:18Steady.
00:59:20Deep.
00:59:24Strong.
00:59:27Strange, isn't it?
00:59:29How the light is reflected.
00:59:32Little specks of light that move and move.
00:59:41It's restful here.
00:59:45It's peaceful.
00:59:50It's friendly.
00:59:53And you're very close to finding what you're looking for.
00:59:56You'll find them soon now.
01:00:00The guilty ones.
01:00:05When you're rested.
01:00:08Gentle waters closing over you.
01:00:13Steady.
01:00:15Deep.
01:00:17Strong.
01:00:21Drawing you down.
01:00:25Down.
01:00:28Down.
01:00:29Down.
01:00:39Sleep.
01:00:42Sleep.
01:00:45Sleep.
01:00:47Down.
01:01:15sequencing.
01:01:41Here he is, Professor Moriarty.
01:01:45Stand up, Mr. Holmes.
01:01:52Open your eyes.
01:01:55Face this way.
01:02:01Are you satisfied?
01:02:05We are dealing with a clever man.
01:02:07He may be shamming.
01:02:09There's just one infallible test for profound hypnosis.
01:02:14You ready, Dr. Simnor?
01:02:27That will do, Dr. He couldn't fake insensibility to the knife.
01:02:32I congratulate you, Lydia.
01:02:36Turn round, Mr. Holmes.
01:02:39Now walk to the desk.
01:02:48Sit down.
01:02:51Take that pen and write what I tell you to write.
01:02:55I have at last found a case which I cannot solve.
01:03:03I have outlived my usefulness.
01:03:09Therefore, I have decided to end my life.
01:03:18Sign your name.
01:03:22Now blot it.
01:03:29Fold it up.
01:03:33And put it in your pocket.
01:03:36Come, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:03:39Go out onto the terrace.
01:03:43But it won't look like suicide, sir.
01:03:45I'm sorry, but Mr. Holmes' injuries must all be self-inflicted.
01:03:51Let's walk a little, Mr. Holmes.
01:03:55It's so pleasant here in the garden.
01:04:01Just step up here onto the terrace.
01:04:04It's a nice, broad terrace.
01:04:09Now turn to the left and walk slowly to the end of the terrace.
01:04:27Don't stop.
01:04:28You must walk to the end, you know.
01:04:34The end leads to an open doorway.
01:04:37You can pass through it in perfect safety.
01:04:39In the room beyond the doorway,
01:04:41you'll find what you've been looking for.
01:04:43Must you drag this on?
01:04:45This is the moment I've been anticipating for a long time, my dear.
01:04:48Go on, Mr. Holmes.
01:04:56Through the open doorway, you will find the man responsible for the fingers of the
01:04:59murder and the death of Sir George Fenwick.
01:05:03Professor Moriarty.
01:05:05Holmes!
01:05:07Stand still.
01:05:10What a beautiful view, Watson.
01:05:11I'm quite enjoying it.
01:05:12No, you're not.
01:05:13You're hypnotized.
01:05:15You're under a spell.
01:05:16Stand still.
01:05:17Don't move.
01:05:18Steady, Holmes.
01:05:19Steady does it.
01:05:20Stand perfectly still where you are.
01:05:21Nonsense, Watson.
01:05:23You don't know what you're doing.
01:05:24Of course I know what I'm doing.
01:05:25You mean you're not hypnotized?
01:05:27Certainly not.
01:05:28Then get off the wall, you idiot.
01:05:29Oh!
01:05:30Oh!
01:05:31Oh!
01:05:33What were you doing up there?
01:05:35Holding the fort until you arrived.
01:05:36What kept you?
01:05:37Oh, I ran into a spot of trouble on my way to Scotland Yard.
01:05:40I was arrested for proceeding the speed limit.
01:05:43Your luck seems to hold, Mr. Holmes.
01:05:46Well, I'd hardly call it luck, Professor.
01:05:47You see, I substituted a drug of my own for the one that this dear lady pressed on me.
01:05:52You are clever, aren't you?
01:05:53A drug that, although it leaves the subject conscious, renders him quite insensitive to pain.
01:05:58That accounted for my lack of reaction to Dr. Simrel's knife.
01:06:02Well, Gregson, quite an impressive haul.
01:06:05Even Inspector Lestrade himself couldn't have done any better.
01:06:07Thanks, Mr. Holmes.
01:06:08Take him away.
01:06:09All right.
01:06:09Put her in the van.
01:06:12I was right, Mr. Holmes.
01:06:14You are a difficult subject.
01:06:20And now, Professor, our score is settled.
01:06:25What if why until I see you on the gallows?
01:06:26The rope has not been made that will go around my neck.
01:06:29Come on.
01:06:43I'll take care of things, Mr. Holmes.
01:06:45Thank you, Inspector.
01:06:46Come on.
01:06:49An evil man, Holmes.
01:06:50But what a horrible death.
01:06:52Better than he deserved.
01:06:56What are you thinking of?
01:06:57I'm thinking of all the women who can come and go in safety in the streets of London tonight.
01:07:03The stars keep watching their heavens.
01:07:06And in our own little way, we too, old friend, a privilege to watch over our city.
01:07:24The End
01:07:34THE END
