00:06To be continued...
00:40That's never right, if men don't like lamps.
00:46Comfortable, eh?
00:49Harry Mercher?
00:51Aye.
00:53Fred, you scared me out of ten years' growth.
00:56You seen that, up yonder?
00:58I have.
01:00Alight in a deserted house.
01:01Him as lived there died of a typhoid.
01:04They're drains.
01:05Maybe he's come back for a squint if the drains won't kill him.
01:09Reckon it's our duty to have a squint too, eh?
01:12Oh, aye, our duty.
01:34We've no warrant.
01:36Give him a yell.
01:38Anyone?
01:38Anyone?
01:40Anyone?
01:44Anyone?
02:03No.
02:06We've no warrant.
02:09We've no warrant.
02:11We've no warrant.
02:13No, no.
02:15Hey!
02:15Shut up!
02:58Hold.
03:03Hold.
03:11No danger, Watson.
03:13I was merely creating a little excitement to ease the boredom of inactivity.
03:18What do you use our brains in our profession when there is no real crime to detect?
03:23Nothing complex, nothing worthy of my talents.
03:30Interesting.
03:31What, that chap looking for an address?
03:34Yes, the ex-sergeant of Marines.
03:36He works for the government now, police in all probability.
03:40How on earth can you know that?
03:42Ah, he's found us.
03:45I'll go.
03:53For Mr. Holmes. Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
03:57Oh, I say, may I ask what your trade might be?
04:01Government employment, sir. Police workers, you might say.
04:04Were you ever at the Colors?
04:06Man and boy, sir. Marines. Three stripes up.
04:10Old army man yourself, sir.
04:11Oh, uh, briefly, yes.
04:14Good day to you.
04:15And you, sir.
04:21Well, never fathom how you do it.
04:25That man.
04:26Former sergeant.
04:28Of Marines.
04:29Quite.
04:30For you.
04:32From Gregson at Scotland Yard.
04:34You remember Gregson?
04:35That's smart, young chap.
04:37Smart.
04:39He'd know a hawk from a handsaw, I dare say.
04:43Old rival of friend Lestrade.
04:46No love lost between those two gentlemen.
04:49Oh, gods, did I say just now there were no crimes worthy of our minds.
04:54Watson, your hat.
04:55The game's afoot.
05:04Stop, driver.
05:05Stop.
05:12How much, cabbies?
05:14One shillin' even, sir.
05:16Thank you, sir.
05:19No, ma'am, no.
05:21Go back the way you came.
05:25Well, there goes another man in London who thinks you're mad.
05:29Perhaps you should have told him you're my doctor, Watson.
05:49Found anything?
05:50It rained last night, for the first time in over a week.
05:55Dryest water I can recall.
06:00Here, sir, you can't go in there.
06:03Who do you think he is, then?
06:05Sherlock Holmes.
06:14Hmm.
06:16Yes.
06:17Good.
06:18You found something?
06:24Six feet, if he was an inch.
06:27Holmes.
06:29Very kind of you to come.
06:30I've left everything as it was.
06:32Nothing's been touched.
06:33Nothing, Gregson?
06:35Was it entirely necessary to run a herd of buffalo across the pathway repeatedly?
06:40Or had you drawn your own conclusions before the stampede?
06:44I...
06:45I've had much to do.
06:47Inside, I mean.
06:48I was relying on my colleague to look after things out here.
06:52Your colleague?
06:54Mr. Lestrade.
06:55Mr. Lestrade.
06:56Oh, so, so.
06:57And what have you and your colleague, Lestrade, found out thus far?
07:01Oh, I believe I've weaved down all that can be done.
07:05How much is that?
07:07Deuce little.
07:08I mean, it's a queer business.
07:09Very complex.
07:10You're stumped?
07:11No.
07:12Why, then, for us, then?
07:14I thought you might be interested.
07:16And so I am, Gregson.
07:17So I am very interested.
07:20Did you come here by can?
07:22No.
07:23Did Lestrade?
07:24No.
07:25Why?
07:25Good.
07:26Very good.
07:28Capital, in fact.
07:29So, let us go and consider the unfortunate gentleman.
07:36Who was he?
07:38Enoch J. Drebber.
07:40Of Cleveland, Ohio.
07:42Late of Cleveland, Ohio.
07:45Anything known?
07:46Not much, I'm afraid.
07:48After you, Doctor.
07:50Good morning, Dr. Watson.
07:52Oh.
07:52Is it, Lestrade?
07:54No, it's not.
07:55This is a bad business.
07:57Who found the body?
07:58We did, sir.
07:59Proper horrible it was, too, sir.
08:01Me and Murchie here...
08:02All in good time, my dear fellow.
08:04Facts first, details after.
08:06Would you mind?
08:08Oh, uh...
08:08Yes, sir.
08:22This is a puzzle to me.
08:24You're sure there is no wound?
08:26Positive?
08:27None.
08:28Then the blood on the floorboards belongs to a second individual.
08:32Presumably the murderer.
08:34If murder has been committed.
08:37If murder's been committed?
08:39How was this done, then, do you suppose?
08:41I never suppose, Lestrade.
08:44It biases one's judgment.
08:47The body hasn't been moved.
08:50You see him as we found him, Mr. Holmes?
08:53Just as we found him, sir.
08:54Laid out stark and cold and...
08:58Blimey.
09:01Very well.
09:01Take him to the mortuary.
09:02There's nothing to be gained by keeping him.
09:21There's nothing to be gained by keeping him.
09:32Constable.
09:33Constable?
09:34Hmm.
09:40Barrowed of London.
09:42What do you think of that, Watson?
09:47Well, I couldn't afford such a timepiece on an army pension.
09:51The gentleman had money.
09:53But no purse.
09:54He carried only loose chains to the value of seven pounds and a few pence.
10:00We've already discounted robbery at the motive.
10:06Enoch J. Drebber.
10:08Cleveland.
10:14Joseph Stangerson, Esquire.
10:16To be called for at the American Exchange, The Strand.
10:20From the Atlantic Steamship Company, giving details of sailing times.
10:24The unfortunate Mr. Drebber was to return to America.
10:28Anything known about this Joseph Stangerson?
10:31I sent one of my men around to the American Exchange.
10:35They've no forwarding address for him.
10:37You've telegraphed Cleveland?
10:39Yes, sir.
10:40Asking for any information which might assist our inquiry.
10:43What information specifically?
10:45About Stangerson.
10:47Nothing more crucial?
10:49No, sir.
10:50Then telegraph again, ma'am.
10:52This is my case, Mr. Holmes.
10:54I believe I've just solved it for you.
10:57Forget the ifs, gentlemen.
10:59It's murder right enough.
11:00And here is the name that will lead us to the murderer.
11:11Jimson, Mr. Lestrade.
11:12Evening news.
11:14It is my professional opinion that the word Rach is the name Rachel.
11:18And that the writer, undoubtedly the murderer, was disturbed before he had time to finish inscribing said name upon said
11:25wall.
11:26Is it true that Mr. Holmes is involved with the case?
11:30Mr. Holmes has volunteered his services, yes.
11:33And what is Mr. Holmes' opinion?
11:34He has denied this with theاء of the
11:40Maine스, ah C orbits it for us.
11:41different
11:42rocked.
11:43Lestrade's conclusions.
11:45All pithell, my dear chap.
11:46Utter tosh.
11:48Six feet seven and three quarters.
11:51Splendid, Watson.
11:52We are not looking for any, Rachel, indeed.
11:56Far from it.
11:57You can't be, sir.
11:58Indeed, I can be.
11:59But where's the evidence?
12:01Everywhere.
12:02One finds what one seeks, young man,
12:05although it does help to know what one is looking for.
12:08Or rather, how to interpret what one is looking at.
12:11Mr. Holmes.
12:13Recall our meeting earlier today.
12:15The wheel marks on the drive were fresh and deep.
12:18Since neither you nor Lestrade arrived by cab,
12:21they had to be made last night.
12:23But what's that mean?
12:25It means, Gregson, that two individuals arrived by cab
12:28during the night,
12:28and one of them was Enoch J. Rebbe.
12:32The other, Stangerson?
12:35Perhaps.
12:36If Stangerson stands six feet tall,
12:39wears hobnailed boots,
12:40and has long nails on the fingers of his right hand,
12:43a few indications only, Gregson,
12:45that they may assist you in apprehending the murderer.
12:48Oh, we are looking at murder, then.
12:50A very complicated murder, Watson.
12:53No, it's too fantastic.
12:55There's nothing to work on,
12:57but a body, a ring,
12:58a half-finished word?
12:59You couldn't produce so much from so little.
13:02Again, recall our earlier meeting.
13:05You found me studying a puddle.
13:07Drebber wore patent-leather shoes
13:09and walked around the puddle.
13:11His murderer, however,
13:12wore hobnailed boots
13:13and stepped across the puddle,
13:15a stride of four feet taken without effort,
13:17and indicating legs long enough
13:19to substantiate a height of at least six feet.
13:23Very well.
13:24What about the fingernail?
13:26Ah, observe the word.
13:28It was inscribed with a forefinger.
13:31See how the plaster has been scratched
13:33around the downstroke.
13:34Whoever wrote the word with his forefinger
13:36had untrimmed nails.
13:39Elementary?
13:39Quite so.
13:41Then who is Rachel?
13:44A figment of Lestrade's imagination.
13:47You discovered the body, Constable Rance?
13:50First upon the scene, sir.
13:52After you had found the body
13:54and raised the alarm,
13:55what did you see then?
13:57Well, sir,
13:58confusing it was,
14:00but I...
14:00Yes, I saw a...
14:02a drunkard, sir.
14:04I saw a man far gone in liquor.
14:07Describe him.
14:08Well, sir,
14:09that he were a long chap.
14:11Six feet and more.
14:13Easily that, sir.
14:14Muffler covering off his face,
14:16long brown coat.
14:18Only,
14:19now that you've forced me by until it, sir,
14:21I don't think the blight was tight at all.
14:24No, Constable,
14:25neither do I.
14:27Is it important,
14:28do you think, sir?
14:29Perhaps.
14:30What became of him?
14:31I showed him all, sir.
14:33Sent him about his business.
14:34Was he carrying a whip?
14:36Not as I recall, sir.
14:39Hmm.
14:40And whoever she may be,
14:43the mysterious Rachel
14:44is the heart of this
14:45grim and terrible business.
14:49What did Constable Rance have to say?
14:51He gave me the identity of the murderer.
14:54Rachel?
14:54There is no Rachel.
14:57There's a woman involved, of course,
14:59and the wedding ring we found shows that.
15:02But she is long dead.
15:04But the name on the wall.
15:05Did you notice anything about it?
15:08Well, it was a medieval script.
15:10Germanic.
15:11Exactly.
15:11But contrive, my dear fellow.
15:14Are you up in languages, Watson?
15:17There's a bush, too.
15:19A smattering of Hindi.
15:20I can negotiate the menu in a French restaurant.
15:23No German.
15:24R-A-C-H-E in German is
15:28Rache,
15:30which means revenge, Watson.
15:33Someone else is going to die.
15:50What?
15:50It comes, Watson.
15:52I have an answer to my American telegram.
15:55My view of the case is the correct one.
15:57Oh.
15:58What is your view of the case, Holmes?
16:00Do you still have your service revolver, Watson?
16:03Yes.
16:03Better clean and load it.
16:05He will be a desperate man.
16:07Who?
16:08The murderer.
16:09He'll be calling this evening
16:10between eight and nine.
16:12Read this.
16:13Oh.
16:14Found.
16:15In Brixton Road this morning,
16:17a plain gold wedding ring.
16:20Apply, Dr. Watson.
16:21To 21B Baker Street.
16:24Between eight and nine this evening.
16:26Excuse me for using your name, old fellow.
16:30My fiddle would be better for new strings.
16:33Oh, jeez.
16:35Assuming anyone does apply,
16:37I don't have a wedding ring to give them.
16:40This will do.
16:41Keep your pistol ready.
16:43When the fellow comes,
16:44speak to him calmly
16:45and don't alarm him
16:46by looking at him too hard.
16:48But why should the murderer
16:50be anxious for this ring?
16:52It's precious to him, Watson.
16:54More precious than a man's life.
16:58The murderer will risk anything
17:00rather than lose the ring.
17:01I believe he dropped it
17:02while stooping over Drever's body.
17:05After leaving the house,
17:06he discovered his loss
17:07and hurried back
17:08and found Constable's rounds
17:09and nurture already there.
17:11Yes, but who is he?
17:13Stangerson?
17:14Definitely not.
17:16That telegram you received this morning
17:18told you was much?
17:20Yes.
17:21They're being followed, Watson.
17:32Clumsy, Wiggins.
17:34That won't do, boy.
17:35No fooling you, Mr. Holmes.
17:38Who are your men?
17:50The Baker Street Irregulars.
17:52These youngsters go everywhere
17:54and see everything.
17:55They're as sharp as needles
17:57and worth a dozen men in blue.
17:59That we are.
18:00Here we are, sir.
18:01Have you found it, Wiggins?
18:02No, sir.
18:04Not yet, we ain't.
18:05Keep on until you do.
18:07Where are your wages?
18:19Come back with a better report next time.
18:22Right you are, Mr. Holmes.
18:24Morning, gentlemen.
18:25Mr. Brixton's compliments, sir.
18:27And would you join him at the station
18:29he's got the Brixton murder, sir?
18:32His name is Arthur Charpentier,
18:35lieutenant in Her Majesty's Navy.
18:37His mother runs a boarding house
18:38in Torquay Terrace,
18:39where Drebber and Stangerson stayed
18:41prior to coming up to London
18:42the day before yesterday.
18:44Who got a confession from him?
18:46Not yet.
18:47What I do have
18:48is evidence and motive.
18:50The American exchange
18:51had no forwarding address
18:53for Enoch J. Drebber.
18:55I traced him
18:55through the label in his hat.
18:57Underwood and Sons,
18:58Camberwell Road.
19:00The man at Underwood's
19:01remembered making the hat
19:02for an American gentleman
19:03living at Torquay Terrace.
19:05He wasn't a gentleman.
19:06He was an animal.
19:07A drunken, bullying animal.
19:09He treated my sister abominably.
19:10And that is why you killed him,
19:12Lieutenant Charpentier,
19:13because of your sister.
19:15I didn't kill him.
19:16I felt like it,
19:17but I didn't know.
19:18How tall are you, Lieutenant?
19:20Tall?
19:21Why, five feet and I?
19:23That proves
19:24the I'm man's innocence, Jackson.
19:26Sorry, Mr. Holmes.
19:28I've got the man
19:29and the motive.
19:30Good morning, gentlemen.
19:32Who's he?
19:33The Brixton murderer.
19:35I've had him in custody
19:36for five hours.
19:37Then he isn't
19:38the murderer.
19:40You've found Stangerson?
19:41I have indeed
19:42at Halliday's private hotel.
19:44What's he got to say?
19:45Nothing.
19:50Mr. Joseph Stangerson
19:52was killed
19:52by a deep knife wound
19:54to the left side
19:55which penetrated
19:56the heart.
20:03Who discovered the body?
20:05Me, sir.
20:06The gentleman asked
20:07to be called for breakfast.
20:08I come up
20:09and there he was.
20:10Blood everywhere.
20:12Cool.
20:13And you?
20:15I'm the milkman, sir.
20:17You saw the murderer?
20:18I did, sir.
20:19He was climbing
20:20out that very window there.
20:22A ladder was up
20:23against the wall outside.
20:24I thought he was
20:25the hotel carpenter.
20:27The man you saw
20:28was tall,
20:29wearing a long brown overcoat.
20:31A scarf and that.
20:32That's him, all right.
20:34Hotmail boots?
20:35Yes.
20:40Cleveland,
20:42October the 3rd.
20:43J.H.
20:44is in Europe.
21:08I don't need a microscope
21:10to tell me
21:10Stengerson wasn't
21:11poisoned, Mr. Holmes.
21:12No, but Trevor was.
21:15What?
21:16Right.
21:17Our man miscalculated here.
21:19There will be
21:20no more murders.
21:22Oh, yes.
21:23Certain of that,
21:24are you?
21:25As certain as I am
21:26of the murderer's identity
21:27and whereabouts.
21:28No.
21:29Do not press me
21:30for that information,
21:31gentlemen.
21:32I have my own methods
21:33and should this dangerous
21:35and clever man
21:36have the slightest suspicion
21:38I am on to him,
21:39he would vanish
21:40without trace
21:41and make a laughing stalker.
21:42All of us.
21:44All of us.
22:14Dr. Watson?
22:16Yes?
22:17I come about
22:19your notice
22:19in the newspaper,
22:21sir,
22:21a wedding ring,
22:23what I lost last night
22:24in the Brixton Road,
22:26sir.
22:26Oh,
22:27is this the ring?
22:28Bless you,
22:30sir,
22:30the very one.
22:32Then I am happy
22:33to restore it
22:34to its rightful owner,
22:35madam.
22:35Oh,
22:36bless you,
22:37sir,
22:37bless you,
22:38bless you,
22:39no,
22:39no,
22:40think nothing of it,
22:40I assure you.
22:41Good night.
22:44Not what I expected,
22:45Holmes.
22:46J.H.'s accomplice,
22:48Watson.
22:49She'll lead me to him.
22:56J.H.
23:04Drive to 13
23:07Duncan Street,
23:08Amstitch.
23:10Right you are,
23:11mum.
23:25We're here,
23:26mum.
23:28Mum?
23:30What?
23:32No,
23:33madam.
23:37Idiot,
23:38Holmes.
23:40Baker Street,
23:41driver.
23:54I don't like it.
23:56He slipped through our fingers.
23:58Not yet.
23:59No ship sail for America
24:00until Saturday.
24:01That gives us two days.
24:03If he sail into America...
24:05Well,
24:05else his work here
24:07is completed.
24:08And of course,
24:09gentlemen,
24:09there are reputations
24:11to consider.
24:13He's a-coming,
24:14sir.

33:57No.
33:58No.
33:59Trevor killed her, boy.
34:01Dragged her back here and married her.
34:04I lived a long life.
34:07But I ain't never seen a bride weeping at her own wedding.
34:12What?
34:13What killed her?
34:15Brief, boy.
34:16Brief.
34:18She gave me this before she died.
34:21Said she wouldn't be buried wearing it.
34:24Someone should have loved her.
34:27I did.
34:29Two lives for your one precious life, Lucy.
34:32Lucy, if it takes forever, I swear.
34:38Oh!
34:39Oh!
34:43Oh!
34:43Oh!
34:48Ah!
34:49Ah!
34:49Ah!
34:51Jefferson Hope.
34:53I am.
34:53I'm sorry, man.
35:00Grigson, have one in your men run for an ambulance.
35:03Quickly, men. There's not a moment to lose.
35:10Lucy... Lucy... Lucy...
35:13Cleveland, Cleveland, one way.
35:15Second class? Yes.
35:20First class vocal for two, Cleveland, New York. Name and draper. Thank you, sir.
36:01I got the ticket. I just saw Jefferson Hope. He's after us.
36:11Get the manager. And the police.
36:19There's your safety, Mr. Durber. Fort and peso.
36:21Yeah, for the time being.
36:23I told the police he was old rivals in love.
36:26Well, that's all in the past. We'll be on our way to Europe next week.
36:31Forget Jefferson Hope.
36:32Let's go.
36:50Them two devils led me the merriest chase you could imagine.
36:54I spent years chasing them.
36:56But it were a work of justice for poor Lucy and old Jack Ferrier.
37:01Rocher. Rocher.
37:02Rocher.
37:02That's revenge, as them Germans say it.
37:05Thought I was being real smart using that bit of German talk to throw you off my scent.
37:11I near got Drebber and Joe Fangerson in Berlin, you know.
37:14Is that where you acquired the strychnine tablets? In Berlin?
37:18Sure was.
37:19Them two led out for England.
37:21And by the time they got me to London, I was down on the last dime.
37:26I needed work real bad.
37:27And that's when you took up driving a Hanson.
37:31I don't know who you are, sir, but...
37:35Seems to me you know more about me than I do.
37:39Perhaps. And that's my function.
37:41Then, just the other night, I got me a fair Houston station.
37:47I got business, Joe. Personal business.
37:51All I'm saying is, it's wiser if we stick together, Mr. Drebber.
37:55You say too much, Joe.
37:57I'll be back by 11.
37:58Now, you just hole up in Halliday's Hotel and you stay there till I show.
38:03Understand?
38:04Whatever you say, Mr. Drebber.
38:06Right. Whatever I say.
38:10Ted, sir?
38:14Torquay Terrace. And make it a quick trip.
38:18I've got you now.
38:35I've told you before. Keep away from my sister.
38:39You come near her again and I'll kill you, Drebber.
38:42My word on that, you animal.
38:46I haven't changed one of them.
38:48That makes my chore a sight easier.
38:51Stop in the next saloon or public house or whatever it is you call them over here.
38:58Wait for me.
39:01An hour or two more ain't gonna tram my patience.
39:15Wait, it's fine.
39:22I will.
39:23Wait.
39:25Wait, what's going on?
39:27Wait, what's going on?
39:28Wait.
39:28Hey!
39:29Wait, what's going on?
39:30I will.
39:30Wait, what's going on?
39:34Wait.
39:39If one of us is sober he can drive the bus.
39:43Drive me to Halliday's Private Hotel, Houston Station.
40:09We're here, sir.
40:11Sir?
40:12We're here.
40:48You should have rung the bell first.
40:52It's more polite.
40:53This here, Halliday's Private Hotel is a flea pit.
40:58How come a rich man like me stayin' in a flea pit like this?
41:04It ain't right.
41:06Where's Stangerson?
41:08Call the manager.
41:10You hear me, boy?
41:11I hear ya, Trevor.
41:13Mr. Trevor, you...
41:16You!
41:17What are you doing here?
41:20It's judgment day, Trevor.
41:21For one of us.
41:23Don't kill me!
41:24I...
41:25I can buy my life!
41:26I'm rich!
41:27I can take it all in!
41:28Everything!
41:29Only...
41:30Only let me live, Hope!
41:31For pity's sake, let me live!
41:33Maybe it's...
41:34Maybe it's me was gonna die.
41:35The decision ain't mine.
41:38I ain't no murderer.
41:40You're the one who shut down Jack Ferrier.
41:41No!
41:42Joe Stangerson did that!
41:44Then he'll pay for that old man's life.
41:47And you'll pay for loses.
42:02Don't kill me!
42:04One of these got strychnine.
42:06Take your chances, Trevor.
42:09You're mad!
42:21Not yet.
42:39I mean, you're so good.
42:39You're so good.
42:39You're the one who's just interested in this.
42:39You're a medium bigger boat.
42:39Like you're a medium- Messer.
42:39I don't want to leave a boat here.
42:40I have no idea.
42:40Oh, my god.
42:40If you're broken into this, I don't want to live.
42:41Everything.
42:41I'm a little in my pocket.
42:41I don't want to live.
42:41I'm a little bit.
42:43I don't want to play...
42:43And having murdered Drebber, you drove away to...
42:46Drebber killed himself.
42:48With a little prompting, you'll admit.
42:51Don't upset him, Holmes. He's getting weaker.
42:53I won't go yet.
42:55Just shows the power of prayer.
42:57Or hatred.
42:59Or love.
43:00When did you realize you had lost Lucy's wedding ring?
43:03On my way to finding Stangerson.
43:06I had to go back for it.
43:08It was like I'd lost Lucy all over again.
43:11And when you returned to the Brixton Road, the police were already on the scene.
43:16That's why I had to act drunk.
43:18I believe I had that Bobby food, too.
43:21Did I?
43:22I think you did.
43:25I knew Stangerson would wait for his boss for as long as his boss wanted to keep him waiting.
43:30So I just scouted the place out.
43:36Looks really easy.
43:50And you, Mr. Drebber?
43:52No, it ain't.
43:54Drebber's dead.
43:55No.
43:56The hour reckoning comes to you, too.
43:58I give you the choice of poison pills, same as I give you boss.
44:04He flung him so badly.
44:13And while we were struggling, he rolled over on his knife.
44:19He would have died in any case.
44:21Providence wouldn't have allowed Joe Stangerson to go unpunished.
44:35I went on cabin, intending to raise the fair home.
44:39Then, tonight, this raggedy youngster pulls me up and says,
44:44A gentleman wants a cab from 221 B Baker Street.
44:51I knew where I was going, but it didn't seem like much to worry about after they arrested Charpentier.
44:59Maybe I wanted to be caught.
45:01Guess I got my wish, huh?
45:03Least ways, justice has been done for Lucy and old Jack Ferrier.
45:08Who was it you sent to collect the ring from Dr. Watson?
45:11Wouldn't do no good for you to know.
45:14After she gave you the slip, she lit out and took Lucy's ring with her.
45:17Not the original.
45:19I substituted another.
45:20I knew you'd try to get it back.
45:23You was out of me from the first, huh?
45:25Who left a distinct trail for me to follow?
45:29No more questions, Holmes.
45:31No more time.
45:32Neither.
45:39Whatever our personal feelings in the matter, the law must be complied with.
45:43When he is fit enough, the prisoner will be brought before the magistrates and formally charged with murder.
45:48He's guilty.
45:49Legally, I mean.
45:51But morally, I wonder.
45:55A gentleman.
45:58A higher judge has taken the matter of Jefferson Hope in hand.
46:11How did you know the name of a man we were looking for, Holmes?
46:15The wedding ring stirred my curiosity, Watson.
46:18I telegraphed the chief of police in Cleveland asking for details of Dreber's marital status.
46:24The answer was conclusive.
46:26Dreber was a widower.
46:28However, a couple of years ago, he sought police protection from an old rival in love named Jefferson Hope.
46:34Hope was arrested, and Dreber and Stangerson set sail for Europe.
46:39Shortly after his release from jail, Hope also helped to pass it for Europe.
46:44The conclusion was elementary, my dear Watson.
46:52What do you know about elephant, Watson?
47:14What?
47:15What?
47:29What?
47:32How.
47:58Oh, oh, oh.
