00:05Thanks for tuning in.
07:10You can't intimidate me.
07:12I gave her my honest advice and I intend to stick to it.
07:15What did you say?
07:16What did you say?
07:16I intend to...
07:22You must sing.
07:26I just wanted to know what the address was again.
07:40Miss Dearing?
07:42I'm the housekeeper.
07:43Your name, please.
07:45Aunt Lottie.
07:48No, I have not been drinking.
07:52Come in.
07:58Wait here, please.
07:59I'll call her.
08:09I had hardly expected when I left London that Miss Susan Dearing would be living in surroundings such as this.
08:15Most of my readers were shop girls.
08:17Girls from a modest background, anyway.
08:20But Susan Dearing was an heiress.
08:23I realized this when I recognized the subject in the painting above the fireplace.
08:28He was Oliver Dearing, the chemical manufacturer who six months ago had suffered a heart attack while pursuing his favorite
08:35sport, bicycling.
08:37He was undoubtedly her father.
08:44How do you do?
08:48How do you do?
08:49Are you really, Aunt Lottie?
08:51I'm afraid so.
08:52My editor felt it would inspire more confidence than a name like Alex Dougal, which is my own.
08:57But I don't agree with your editor at all.
08:59Oh, really?
09:00I never fail to read your columns.
09:01They're always so full of wisdom and understanding.
09:05Almost like father used to talk before he died.
09:09Well, thank you.
09:11Well, if I didn't think so, I never would have written to you.
09:14Never have called off my wedding.
09:16Well, as a matter of fact, that's what I came to talk to you about, Miss Dearing.
09:23Do you mind if we sit down?
09:25Oh, please, yes.
09:27You're hurting.
09:28I've kept you standing.
09:29Just a little accident.
09:31Nothing at all.
09:32Yet.
09:33Would you like a pillow or something?
09:34Oh, no, no, thank you.
09:36What bothers me more than any little ache is the advice that I gave you in my column.
09:43The advice you gave me?
09:44But every word of it was so true.
09:46It cleared up everything.
09:47Well, I felt the same thing at the time also.
09:50But after meeting your fiancé, Mr. Murdock.
09:53You met Jack?
09:54Oh, quite by accident.
09:57He struck you.
09:58I know.
09:59He forced you to come here and see me.
10:00Oh, no, no, not at all.
10:03Then how were you hurt?
10:05I fell down the stairs.
10:07It was an accident.
10:09Forgive me.
10:10It's quite obvious that...
10:12that a man like you could never be forced to do anything against his will.
10:16Well, I should hope not.
10:17But at any rate, after meeting Mr. Murdock, I felt it my responsibility to come here and
10:22retract my original advice.
10:24Forgive me, Miss Dearing.
10:26That's what I've been telling her.
10:28No one is perfect, naturally, but Mr. Murdock is eligible in every other way.
10:34He has gold mines in Africa, if that's what Tilda means.
10:38And I could be sure he wasn't marrying me for my inheritance.
10:42But, Mr. Dougal, you've never seen him when he loses his temper.
10:47Uh, Miss Dearing, have you ever heard of a Dr. Freud?
10:51No.
10:52A young Viennese, he's invented a new science called psychoanalysis.
10:57He says that a temper is a perfectly healthy, normal outlet for emotions.
11:01It's quite normal.
11:03Mr. Dougal, you know so much.
11:06That's my job.
11:08I'll write to Jack immediately and tell him it's all right again.
11:11Good.
11:12And if you have a picture of the two of you, I'll see that it's published in the society page
11:16under...
11:18Under soon to be betrothed.
11:20Mr. Dougal, what's the matter?
11:22Something happened to my back when I fell.
11:24I wonder, would you mind putting one hand on my shoulder and one in the small of my back and...
11:30Pull!
11:37Mr. Dougal, you must do something about your back.
11:40When you get home tonight, have your wife rub it with liniment.
11:44I'm afraid that's not entirely possible, but I'll have the man at the club do it anyway.
11:50You mean to say that you're not married?
11:53I'm afraid not.
11:55It seems that every time I meet a girl that interests me, she's not available.
12:00But then that's life.
12:01There's always tomorrow and...
12:03Well, who knows?
12:04I might be as lucky as you and Mr. Murdock.
12:08Now, what about that picture?
12:10I'll get it for you.
12:18All the way back to London, my eyes kept returning to the snapshot that had been given me.
12:23And to Murdock's face.
12:24I really hadn't had time to study him when he first came into my office.
12:28Everything had happened so first.
12:30But now, I had the clinging feeling that I'd seen him somewhere before.
12:34But where?
12:36And under what circumstances?
12:44Hello, Dougal.
12:45I trust you were successful?
12:48Extremely.
12:49And I'm going back with even more confidence to make a change of mind next time.
12:54You're not Jack Murdock.
12:55And you don't have any gold mines in Africa.
12:58You're Freddie Brill, the racetrack fixer.
13:00Now, whatever gave you that idea?
13:02I'm going to tell her.
13:06I used to be a sports writer for your information.
13:08And I remember you very well.
13:10You got flung in jail for nearly killing a jockey that double-crossed you.
13:14And if you don't think I can prove it, just come now to the library and I'll show you a
13:18back issue with your picture in it.
13:19That won't be necessary.
13:23I didn't think it would be.
13:25So it's her inheritance you're after, is it?
13:27That's it.
13:28And I don't think you'll be telling her.
13:30What are you going to do?
13:32First, I'm going to make you best man at my wedding.
13:35What?
13:36After today, I can't trust you out of my sight.
13:39As best man, you have reason for being at my side every minute.
13:42But this is insane!
13:44Secondly, I make you this promise.
13:46If Susan should learn of my true identity before we're married,
13:50I won't make inquiries as to who told her.
13:53I'll assume it was you.
13:55And if it's the last thing I do, I'll kill you!
14:05Now, we return to the case of the violent suitor.
14:09I'm always giving out advice myself, but here I am, strangely enough, asking for it.
14:15What shall I do?
14:17If I expose Murdoch, he'll obviously take his revenge on me.
14:21But on the other hand, how can I allow poor Susie to be victimized that way?
14:24I see. So it's Susie, is it?
14:27Well, up until half an hour ago when I managed to get away from him.
14:31Murdoch keeps me handcuffed to his side.
14:33And naturally, when he saw Miss Dearing, I did also.
14:37Ah, yes, yes. Quite naturally.
14:39Well, there's no point in denying it that she does something strange to me.
14:43And I found myself wanting to be the groom instead of the best man.
14:46That may very well happen yet, Mr. Dougal.
14:49But how with Murdoch still in the picture?
14:53We'll remove him from the picture.
14:56Well, it's simply stated, Holmes.
14:58But surely you don't mean to expose Murdoch and risk Mr. Dougal's life?
15:01No, no, what?
15:02If any lives are going to be risked, they'll be yours and mine.
15:06Oh!
15:07Oh!
15:09My plans aren't crystallized yet, Mr. Dougal,
15:11but my advice to you is to go back to Mr. Murdoch
15:14and continue to be his best man.
15:15You'll hear from me very soon.
15:16I'll do anything you say, Mr. Holmes.
15:18Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
15:19Not at all.
15:21Oh, wait!
15:28It's all right.
15:29I just wanted to make certain that Murdoch wasn't waiting for you outside.
15:32Oh, thank you, Mr. Holmes. Good day.
15:34Good day.
15:35Good day.
15:41Good day.
15:44And how do you propose to help Mr. Dougal?
15:48By removing Murdoch from the picture.
15:51But how?
15:53By proving that he killed Miss Dearing's father.
15:56What?
15:58Safely behind bars, Murdoch could neither marry Miss Dearing or harm Dougal.
16:04But Miss Dearing's father died of a heart attack.
16:06He was cycling.
16:07You heard it yourself.
16:09My dear Watson, it was made to appear as if he had been bicycling.
16:13Well, now, really, Holmes.
16:15You haven't even left the room.
16:16How can you say such a thing?
16:19Ah, here it is.
16:21I thought I'd kept it.
16:22Have a look.
16:23When that picture was published in the papers, I showed it to Inspector Lestrade as proof that Oliver Dearing was
16:28murdered.
16:29But the good old inspector, with his usual dim-wittedness, refused to pay any attention to it.
16:35Well, I must say I can't see any signs of murder here.
16:38Notice Dearing's coat.
16:41Yes, well?
16:42It's buttoned on the left side.
16:45So?
16:47Have a look at your own.
16:52Well, yes, I see that, but it's my theory that Dearing was at home in his shirt sleeves when Murdoch
16:57struck him a blow on the back of the head that killed him.
16:59Then, in an effort to disguise his crime, Murdoch, with the aid of a woman, dressed Dearing and deposited him
17:06and his bicycle on a lonely stretch of country road.
17:09But the mistake had been made of buttoning his coat on the wrong side.
17:16Yes, but look here, just a minute. You've just talked about a woman. What woman?
17:21Well, his accomplice, of course.
17:23A woman would be more apt to button Dearing's coat on the left side since it was customary for her
17:26to button hers in that way.
17:28And talking of coats, I think you'd better take yours. It's going to be chilly in the country tonight.
17:33Well, assuming everything you say is true, what's the motive in killing Dearing?
17:38Well, my guess is that, er, Dearing found out Murdoch's true identity and prevented him marrying his daughter.
17:44And Murdoch, seeing himself losing a fortune, lost his temper again.
17:48Come on, Watson. We'll pick up Lestrade on the way.
17:51Right.
17:53I'll take my coat.
18:06Well, I'll take my coat.
18:07I'll take my coat.
18:07Okay.
18:10You ready?
18:13Oh, my God.
18:20I'll take my coat.
18:20What's the right thing?
18:20I'll take my coat.
18:21I'll take your coat, Dr. Mo.
18:21I'll take my coat on that.
18:22I'll take my coat on this once again.
18:27Do you want to wear a coat on the rug?
18:33now what's the matter I got a twist in my back are you still complaining about that
18:44don't you talk to him like that I'll talk to him anyway I choose not around me Jack Murdock you
18:53won't tea is served nothing like a nice cup of tea to relax everyone if you don't keep your temper
19:03you'll ruin everything it's all right Tilda I'll pour
19:18why didn't I think of it of course of course what the accomplice it's Tilda the housekeeper yes it
19:23would have to be someone normally attached to the house to have been present at the murder
19:26Tilda fits the part perfectly she would also have to know Murdock and from the manner in which he's
19:30just been talking to him that's obvious too your theory sounds as wild now as it did when you first
19:36told it to me Lestrade give me your gun will you before well I'm just going to put my theory
19:41to
19:41the test oh don't worry I shan't hurt anyone
20:14Holmes what what in thunder made you do a thing like this they'll try to explain now they'll they'll
20:20have the staff I'd search the grounds if they find us the whole plan's ruined well now where's Lestrade
20:27Lestrade Lestrade he was behind us when I lost look oh confound him if they find him
20:32everything will be ruined yeah we better go and find him ourselves
20:40Lestrade Lestrade
20:44oh no Holmes look well well well only the good inspector could have managed that
20:55well Lestrade you look like a stranded whale what is this thing it's a pammington net were you running
21:02with your eyes shut here the gardens I think they're coming this way we've got to get to the
21:14carriage come on Lestrade get me out of this thing oh there's no time for that come on
21:38I see no item in the entire evening mr. Sherlock Holmes that would prompt laughter I'm terribly sorry but I
21:48shall cherish the memory of you
21:49thrashing about on that badminton court for years to come wouldn't find it so amusing Holmes if it
21:55had been you were torn that confounded net from its moorings Lestrade it was simply a question of
22:01going under it after all and I haven't forgotten that it was your insane behavior tonight that made
22:08it necessary for it to be running at all yes what were you up to Holmes those shots I mean
22:14yes I assume
22:15there was a purpose oh a very definite purpose Lestrade those three bullets were bait
22:19for a trap our bait I must say I trust it was the perfect bait for our purpose I only
22:24hope that
22:25our delayed departure from the Deerings won't make us too late to see the trap sprung you mean it
22:29wasn't sprung at the Deering there were too many people there Watson you see if my theory is correct
22:35then Jack Murdoch's flat should be the place I wonder if we can entice this driver to go just a
22:41little bit faster cabbie cabbie go as quick as you can
22:45this fellow for us but it was very unfortunate he didn't feel true
22:50学生
22:51remember
22:51you know
22:51good life
22:54you know
22:57so
22:58that there's oda
22:58that we will ensure everything thezeit has come from his arm
23:01yes
23:01you know
23:03that way
23:04what happened two hundred now
23:14and that was there activity
23:15Silda, Dougal's upstairs here. I see you.
23:17I'm not staying, Mark.
23:21What is this?
23:23I'm within two days of marrying Susan and grabbing a fortune for us.
23:26For yourself, you mean?
23:27You never had any intention of sharing it with me.
23:31What are you talking about?
23:33Fifty thousand pounds is yours the day I'm married.
23:36Didn't I promise it to you?
23:38Yes.
23:39But your circumstances were different then.
23:42I saw you kill Mr. Dearing.
23:43And you got panicky that I would run to the police.
23:47But time's gone by.
23:49And now you've found a surer and cheaper way to keep me quiet.
23:53What do you mean?
23:55Back at the house before.
23:57You had someone try to kill me.
23:59Tilda, I told you. I swear I know nothing about those shots.
24:03You could never make me believe that.
24:06There's only one person in this world who would benefit by my death.
24:09And that person is you.
24:12I'll never feel safe while you're alive.
24:16I wouldn't do that if I were you, miss.
24:19Drop that gun.
24:22You're under arrest. We heard everything you said.
24:25You were tricked, Tilda.
24:26Was the police fired those shots at you?
24:29Well, Mr. Holmes here anyway.
24:31I had a feeling it would stir things up a bit.
24:34It's an old adage that partners in crime never trust one another.
24:39Get down!
24:48Well, I'll be.
24:50I've been practicing my right ever since I met him.
24:53Ah, well done, my boy. Well done.
25:00You'd better come along too, miss.
25:10I believe I've outgrown the Aunt Marley label now.
25:12I'm going to ask Susan to marry me.
25:14Good for you.
25:15First thing tomorrow morning. It's too late tonight.
25:18Oh, I don't think it's too late.
25:20You don't?
25:23No.
25:25Definitely not.
25:27I'll go right now.
25:29Good idea.
25:35Well, Holmes, you've solved the mystery and brought two young lovers together.
25:39I think I'm going to call you Aunt Lottie.
25:41What?
25:42Oh, no, really, Watson.
25:44This time you've gone too far.
25:45Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
