00:00:30Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
00:01:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
00:01:08Lyman!
00:01:09Lyman!
00:01:10Wait!
00:01:11Help!
00:01:12I'm trapped!
00:01:13Lyman!
00:01:14Help!
00:01:15He's on the beach.
00:01:16I thought he was going to die!
00:01:17Get him!
00:01:18Get him!
00:01:19Get him!
00:01:20Let him go!
00:01:21Lyman?
00:01:22Lyman!
00:01:23Lyman!
00:01:24Lyman!
00:01:25Wait!

00:01:34Lyman!
00:01:35Lyman!
00:01:36Lyman!
00:01:37Mr. Partridge, eh, Mr. Partridge?
00:01:42Now what's the trouble?
00:01:44Can't open the blinkin' door.
00:01:52Come out.
00:01:58You hear me? This is Victoria Station.
00:02:08Honey.
00:02:11Some drunk sleepin' at all.
00:02:13I'm just prepping for class.
00:02:15Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:16Come on, wait.
00:02:24Jim, put up your ladder.
00:02:29Yes, sir.
00:02:30Open that window.
00:02:31Right.
00:02:38I can't budge it, Mr. Partridge.
00:02:41Budge is the word.
00:02:43You'll have to smash it, then.
00:02:45Right.
00:02:49Oh!
00:02:51Mr. Partridge, there's...
00:02:52Hold it!
00:02:53There, there, there.
00:02:54Right.
00:02:57Oh!
00:02:58Oh, my God.
00:03:00Mothwell, fetch the police.
00:03:02Don't stand there gaping.
00:03:07Come on.
00:03:24This must be the place.
00:03:25It is.
00:03:27You'll have to wait here.
00:03:28I'm not gonna let you go in a place like this alone.
00:03:31You must really.
00:03:32I'll be all right.
00:03:37Right.
00:04:08This meeting is now called to order.
00:04:10The unfortunate death in a train of one of our members,
00:04:14Mr. James Murphy,
00:04:15who departed this life by his own act,
00:04:18while of unsound mind,
00:04:20has necessitated this meeting.
00:04:22That's what you say, Mr. Maydew.
00:04:24And how do you know?
00:04:26Well, I'm not gonna lie to you, Mr. Maydew.
00:04:28I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:04:30I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:04:32I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:04:34I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:04:37A verdict of death by suicide was returned tonight.
00:04:42This is the second occasion that we have been brought together
00:04:45by the mishaps to our members.
00:04:49The first being the passing away by natural causes
00:04:51of the late Colonel Forrester,
00:04:53whose charming daughter or so gracefully honors us
00:04:56with her presence here tonight.
00:05:02It is agreed in the pact drawn up and formally attested to
00:05:05by its founders that should the Grim Reaper
00:05:07overtake one or more,
00:05:11the interests of the deceased in the society
00:05:15will be divided equally among the surviving members.
00:05:19It is also provided for in the pact
00:05:21that Miss Forrester becomes a participating member.
00:05:24Consequently, the interests of the late James Murphy
00:05:27will be divided equally among the seven of us.
00:05:31I move that my fee for the necessary legal representation,
00:05:35funeral expenses and a modest earn for the ashes
00:05:38be defrayed by our organization.
00:05:41I understand from the widow that
00:05:43he expressed a preference for cremation.
00:05:46I second that.
00:05:48All those in favor will please signify by raising their hands.
00:05:53Mr. Wilson.
00:05:56Mr. Baker.
00:05:58Mr. Dearing.
00:06:04Mr. Pike.
00:06:06Ah, yes.
00:06:15Good.
00:06:16Has any provision been made for the widow?
00:06:18None.
00:06:19I presume that we could stretch a point in her favor.
00:06:21Emphatically not.
00:06:23Things are complicated enough as they are.
00:06:26Why did he want to kill himself?
00:06:29Have you ever met his wife?
00:06:30No.
00:06:31No?
00:06:32Well, I have.
00:06:33A pest if there ever was one.
00:06:36We can attribute his death solely to the general deficiencies of one
00:06:40Annabelle Mary Murphy.
00:06:57What would you deduce from this?
00:07:07Obviously an attempt to convey secret information.
00:07:11Could you decipher it?
00:07:12I could not.
00:07:14Nor could you.
00:07:17Would you like to bet?
00:07:18Certainly.
00:07:19How much?
00:07:22Shilling.
00:07:23Shilling?
00:07:25My time is too valuable.
00:07:29The answer will be found in a large book because the numbers are large.
00:07:34I'd suggest the Bible.
00:07:45A client, Watson.
00:07:46Where?
00:07:47The widow standing under the street lamp.
00:07:50A widow?
00:07:51Would you like to bet on that?
00:07:52Of course.
00:07:53Well, I'm not going down the street to ask her.
00:07:55Ah.
00:07:56Won't be necessary.
00:07:57She's made up her mind.
00:08:00So you deduce at a distance, eh?
00:08:02Not in this case.
00:08:03I recognized her features.
00:08:05She's a Mrs. Murphy.
00:08:07Her husband was murdered three days ago.
00:08:10You mean the man that was found dead in a train?
00:08:12Exactly.
00:08:14Come in.
00:08:15A Mrs. Murphy to see you, sir.
00:08:17Mr. Rones, I'm in such a mess.
00:08:19Such a mess.
00:08:20My husband up and died without leaving me as much as I certainly did.
00:08:23It's a crime shame, Mr. Rones.
00:08:25That's what it is.
00:08:26Sit down and try to compose yourself.
00:08:29Cut off without a fathom.
00:08:31By an ungrateful good for nothing.
00:08:33Me.
00:08:34At my time of life.
00:08:36No dirty dog had a better wife.
00:08:38I've waited on him end to mouth.
00:08:40Stood by his side.
00:08:42At my time of life.
00:08:43I've waited on him end to mouth.
00:08:45Stood by his side morning, noon and night.
00:08:47And what does the stinker do?
00:08:49He up and kills himself.
00:08:51And leaves his money to a trust.
00:08:53And Mr. Mary Dew.
00:08:54Yes.
00:08:55And there's another stinker if I never saw another.
00:08:58Won't even let me have a sixpence.
00:09:00He won't even let me have a eightpence, Mr. Rones.
00:09:03Thaddeus Mary Dew, the lawyer?
00:09:05Yes, the thieving hound.
00:09:06The dirty rat.
00:09:07One moment.
00:09:09You were married how long?
00:09:11Five blessed long years.
00:09:13Previous to your marriage, your husband served in the army.
00:09:16You knew him?
00:09:17Of him.
00:09:18He got a discharge in China.
00:09:20Yes, that's right.
00:09:21Then you married.
00:09:22Yes, and I gave up everything, Mr. Rones.
00:09:24You ask the proprietor of the Black Sower, he'll tell you.
00:09:26It was me that made that pub what it was.
00:09:29And your husband had money?
00:09:30Barrels of it.
00:09:31And when he wanted more, he used to come up to London and get it.
00:09:34It was that that took him to London when he killed himself.
00:09:37How do you know?
00:09:38Well, Jim comes into my room.
00:09:40I was in bed with a piece of cucumber rind round the edge, trying to cure an headache.
00:09:45He had a letter in his hand.
00:09:47See a pig, he says.
00:09:49That was his pet name for me when he was drunk.
00:09:52I'm going up to London.
00:09:54Did you read the contents of the letter?
00:09:56Oh, it wasn't no letter.
00:09:58It was just a piece of doggerel.
00:10:11Watson, make a note of Mrs. Murphy's dress.
00:10:15232 Kings Cross Road.
00:10:18Then you'll undertake me, Mr. Rones.
00:10:20I'll take up your case.
00:10:22Mind you, it'll have to be for love.
00:10:24Love?
00:10:26For nip.
00:10:27I've noticed how you like working for nothing.
00:10:29My interest is to bring the criminal to justice.
00:10:31Oh, never mind about justice.
00:10:33Never mind about the crime.
00:10:34All I want is my husband's lawful money.
00:10:37And I want you to slap that thieving lawyer's face right across between his greasy fat chops.
00:10:42Good night, Mr. Rones.
00:10:44I'll be seeing you, and thank you kindly.
00:10:46Good night, Mrs. Murphy.
00:10:54Deep water, Watson.
00:10:58She needs some shady lawyer, not you.
00:11:01Think so?
00:11:02I'm amazed that you're wasting your energies on such a morbid trifle.
00:11:06Morbid trifle?
00:11:07Who is this Merrydew?
00:11:09London's most dangerous crook.
00:11:11The king of blackmailers.
00:11:13A gliding, slithy, venomous snake.
00:11:17Once in his power, he'll squeeze and squeeze until he's drained his victim's drive.
00:11:22More than once I've had my net around him, but so far he's managed to wriggle his way out.
00:11:27But the time has come, Watson.
00:11:29The time has come for Mr. Thaddeus Merrydew.
00:11:34And now, Miss Forrester and gentlemen, this concludes the meeting.
00:11:38I would like to have a word with you alone.
00:11:40I sincerely trust no further accidents will happen to occasion another meeting.
00:11:45You never can tell.
00:12:04Are you going my way?
00:12:06Which way do you go?
00:12:08I go the other.
00:12:09That leads to a dead end.
00:12:11That's the way I go.
00:12:13Good night, then.
00:12:14Good night.
00:12:34You must never mention anything that transpired at this meeting tonight.
00:12:38Or even that this meeting was held.
00:12:40I saw a young man standing on the corner as I came in.
00:12:43Yes, my fiancé.
00:12:45He brought me here and he's waiting for me.
00:12:47Oh.
00:12:50Then you're thinking of being married?
00:12:52Yes.
00:12:53I wouldn't if I were you.
00:12:55That is, at least until you've consulted me.
00:12:57But why?
00:12:58I can't explain.
00:13:00In a short time, this society will no longer exist.
00:13:03Until its affairs are winded up, it would be most unwise for you to marry.
00:13:06Your father would not have wished it.
00:13:08What had my father to do with these people?
00:13:10Didn't he ever tell you?
00:13:11No.
00:13:12Then I must respect his silence.
00:13:14Remember.
00:13:16Not a word to a living soul.
00:13:20He talked to me!
00:13:21He talked to me!
00:13:23Captain Pike!
00:13:24Ah!
00:13:25Oh!
00:13:28Oh!
00:13:37Dave, shot through the heart.
00:13:47You wait here.
00:13:49Oh!
00:14:08What is it?
00:14:09What's happened?
00:14:10Are you hurt?
00:14:12Someone...
00:14:15Look!
00:14:17It's Mississippi!
00:14:18What does it mean?
00:14:19The murderer must have had an accomplice and removed the body.
00:14:22We must call the police.
00:14:23No, no.
00:14:24The police will be here soon enough.
00:14:25We mustn't become involved.
00:14:26But it's murder.
00:14:27As you respect your father's memory, you must preserve a strict silence.
00:14:30Not a word.
00:14:35Come.
00:14:42The body was pulled out of the Thames at 5 a.m. in the Limehouse district.
00:14:46The autopsy shows that death was caused by a bullet through the heart.
00:14:50The features, as you see, are unrecognizable,
00:14:52caused possibly by the battering of the head against the wall where the body was found.
00:14:56We would have identified the body by means of that ring.
00:14:59Ah.
00:15:01A very rare and very beautiful ring, this train.
00:15:04There isn't the slightest doubt of the deceit of Captain Pike.
00:15:07The clothes were identified, the initials on the collar and on the shirt.
00:15:11Further identification is contained in these letters that were found on the clothing.
00:15:24Where is the widow?
00:15:25We asked her to wait. She's in the adjoining room.
00:15:38Mrs. Pike?
00:15:40Yes, you are...
00:15:42My name is Sherlock Holmes.
00:15:44When did you last see your husband alive?
00:15:46We dined together last night at the Savoy Grill.
00:15:49He left me shortly after 9 o'clock.
00:15:51I never saw him again.
00:15:53You are staying?
00:15:54At the Savoy.
00:15:55You've been in London how long?
00:15:57About a week.
00:15:58And you live where?
00:15:59At the Grain Sugar Nest.
00:16:02When your husband left you, did he inform you where he was going?
00:16:05No, but I fancied it was on a matter of business.
00:16:08He was a man very precise in his habits.
00:16:12When midnight came, and there was no sign of him, I became rather alarmed.
00:16:16Midnight should be a late hour for him.
00:16:18Very.
00:16:19As the time went on, I became more and more worried.
00:16:22At last, I informed the police.
00:16:24An hour ago, I received a message to come here,
00:16:27where I identified the body of my poor husband.
00:16:31By the ring?
00:16:32Yes.
00:16:34Did he always wear a ring?
00:16:36That one, yes.
00:16:37I gave it to him when we were married.
00:16:39That would be...
00:16:40About six years ago in China.
00:16:42It is an heirloom belonging to my family,
00:16:44and has been handed down through generations.
00:16:47I see.
00:16:49Permit me to express my sympathy for your great loss.
00:16:53Is that all?
00:16:55By the way, should it become necessary,
00:16:57shall I communicate with you at the Grange or the Savoy?
00:17:00Through my lawyer.
00:17:01His name?
00:17:02Mr. Thaddeus Meridue.
00:17:04Good morning, Mr. Holmes.
00:17:10Well, what do you make of it?
00:17:11Murder.
00:17:12Unquestionably.
00:17:13Is that all?
00:17:14That's all I have to say.
00:17:15What do you think?
00:17:16I think...
00:17:18that the lady is a liar.
00:17:40I...
00:17:41I...
00:17:42I...
00:17:43I...
00:17:44I...

00:19:00I...
00:19:01I...
00:19:02I...
00:19:03I...
00:19:04It's strange to see you, sir.
00:19:05Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson.
00:19:07What's the matter? You look worried.
00:19:08Worried? I'm up to my neck.
00:19:10Again?
00:19:10Before I can begin to finish one case, I'm plunged into another.
00:19:13That's the penalty of being smart.
00:19:15You came to see me professionally.
00:19:17Well, unofficially.
00:19:20I see. Head you win, tails I lose.
00:19:22There's been a bad business during the night.
00:19:24An old gentleman.
00:19:25You'll find it a bit of a puzzler.
00:19:26You mean you found it a bit of a puzzler.
00:19:29We've left everything in status quo, hoping you'll favor us with an opinion.
00:19:33A man?
00:19:35Murder?
00:19:36Suicide.
00:19:38Come, Watson. The game is afoot.
00:19:54He was well known as a stamp collector.
00:19:57Hmm.
00:19:59Very interesting.
00:20:04What is it, Holmes?
00:20:26That leaves us with no choice.
00:20:28That leaves out to the guard, and still from you, Mr. Judge, by the rusty hinges.
00:20:58Good morning, sir.
00:21:28You can see that I have left everything untouched.
00:21:54If I heard of buffaloes passing along, it couldn't be a greater mess.
00:21:58You can take a smoke.
00:22:00Thank you, sir.
00:22:02What do you think?
00:22:04There's been murder done.
00:22:06The murderer was a man.
00:22:08He was in the prime of life,
00:22:10six feet in height,
00:22:12has small feet, wears
00:22:14square-toed boots, limps slightly
00:22:16on the left foot and smokes
00:22:18Trichinopoli cigars.
00:22:20If it was murder, how was it committed?
00:22:22The assassin was in the house
00:22:24before his victim arrived.
00:22:26He hid in the recess behind the window.
00:22:28While there, he smoked
00:22:30a cigar.
00:22:32He fired a shot which hit
00:22:34the victim on the back of the head
00:22:36and then dragged the body to where you found it.
00:22:38He left and returned
00:22:40some while later to fire a second shot,
00:22:42this time through the mouth.
00:22:44You'll find the mark of a boot
00:22:46clearly imprinted on the congealed blood.
00:22:48What was his object?
00:22:50To obliterate the effect of the first,
00:22:52hoping by so doing to transfer
00:22:54the crime from that of murder
00:22:56to one of suicide.
00:22:58Bullet number one you will find in the wall
00:23:00on the farther side of the room.
00:23:02The other will be
00:23:04found embedded in the body of the
00:23:06murdered man. Come, Watson.
00:23:10We mustn't
00:23:12keep Mr. Merrydew waiting.
00:23:20Mr. Holmes is
00:23:22still waiting, sir.
00:23:24How long has he been now?
00:23:26Forty-two hours, sir.
00:23:28That's as it should be.
00:23:30You may show him in now. Very good, sir.
00:23:40Mr. Holmes,
00:23:42this is indeed a pleasure.
00:23:44I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I had
00:23:46to digest my lunch.
00:23:48This is my friend and partner, Dr. Watson.
00:23:50How do you do? A glass of port, gentlemen?
00:23:52Thank you, no.
00:23:58Cigar?
00:24:02Be seated, gentlemen.
00:24:08I represent Annabelle Mary Murphy.
00:24:10Charming lady.
00:24:12I'm empowered to act on her behalf.
00:24:14Congratulations.
00:24:16As you are doubtless aware,
00:24:18her husband came to a premature
00:24:20and sudden end.
00:24:22Dear, dear. My client
00:24:24is under an impression that certain monies
00:24:26belonging to the deceased are being
00:24:28unlawfully withheld from her.
00:24:30By whom?
00:24:32By you.
00:24:34And you believe this delightful lady?
00:24:36I paid to find out.
00:24:38An angry woman
00:24:40is hard to pacify.
00:24:42So I thought that an amicable discussion
00:24:44with you would put me in possession of
00:24:46certain facts with which I could prove to my
00:24:48client the absurdity of her claim.
00:24:50I see.
00:24:56Is that all?
00:24:58That is all.
00:25:00Dear, dear, you're not smoking my cigar.
00:25:02You refuse to assist me.
00:25:04My dear Mr. Holmes, I have neither the information
00:25:06nor the authority.
00:25:08You see, until a few days ago, I was not aware that your distinguished client
00:25:10existed.
00:25:12In my profession, I deal with many cases impartially
00:25:14without coming into personal contact with my client.
00:25:18It won't do, Mr. Merrick.
00:25:20Anything else?
00:25:22May I trouble you for a pencil and paper?
00:25:24Help yourself.
00:25:30Mr. Busybody Holmes.
00:25:32By the way,
00:25:34I think you should know that another client of yours
00:25:36met his death last night.
00:25:40Mr. Malcolm Dearing
00:25:42found murdered.
00:26:02Good day, Mr. Merrick.
00:26:08Come with me.
00:26:32Cold-blooded monster.
00:26:34Well, I've given him something to think about.
00:26:36Did you see what I saw?
00:26:38His feet. What about them?
00:26:40They were small feet. And the boots.
00:26:42Well, well.
00:26:44Square-toed. Square-toed.
00:26:46Really? Yes. And did you remark the brand of cigar?
00:26:48Cigar?
00:26:50Trichinopoly.
00:26:52It was stenciled in big letters on the top of the box.
00:26:54Is that all you observed?
00:26:56Was there anything else?
00:26:58A hundred things.
00:27:00A copy of the code. A large book, Watson.
00:27:02I saw no vital.
00:27:04We shall call Rickers Almanac a large.
00:27:06Yes, indeed.
00:27:08In that book will be found the message of the numbers.
00:27:14Mr. Holmes.
00:27:16Mrs. Pike.
00:27:18Holmes.
00:27:28Holmes, what did you write on that sheet of paper?
00:27:30A long shot in the dark, Watson.
00:27:32But it didn't move at all.
00:27:34Miss Forrester lives here, I believe.
00:27:36Tell her that Mr. Marydew wishes to see her.
00:27:38Mr. Thaddeus Marydew. And hurry!
00:27:42Mr. Marydew calling to see you, Nick.
00:27:44Miss Forrester.
00:27:46You're looking charming as ever.
00:27:48I see you received my flowers.
00:27:52I have a letter for you.
00:27:54It's for you.
00:27:56It's for me?
00:27:58Yes, it's for you.
00:28:02You received my flowers.
00:28:06I sent them to soften the unexpectedness of my visit.
00:28:08You come about the murder of Captain Pike?
00:28:10No. Have the police been pestering you?
00:28:12No.
00:28:14I was fortunate enough to keep your name out of it.
00:28:16Have you seen today's papers?
00:28:18Shocking, shocking.
00:28:20Poor old gentleman.
00:28:22This is a very wicked world we're living in, Miss Forrester.
00:28:24This will necessitate another meeting.
00:28:26That's why I came myself to tell you.
00:28:28Safer.
00:28:30Too many eavesdroppers.
00:28:32Busybodies concerning themselves with other people's business.
00:28:36The same time, the same place.
00:28:38Tomorrow night.
00:28:40Oh, please don't ask me to go to that dreadful place again.
00:28:42Well, unfortunately in this case I'm a servant.
00:28:44Carrying out instructions.
00:28:46You've nothing to worry about.
00:28:48Not a thing.
00:28:50Not a thing in the world.
00:28:52Oh.
00:28:54This is my...
00:28:56Mr. Sanford, Mr. Marydew.
00:28:58I remember.
00:29:02I seem to see you every place.
00:29:14Who is that man?
00:29:16He's my lawyer.
00:29:18Oh.
00:29:20I remember seeing him the other night.
00:29:22What's he doing here?
00:29:24Oh, please don't begin that all over again.
00:29:26Darling, surely I have a right to know.
00:29:32Oh, John.
00:29:34I'm so miserable.
00:29:38It's something that concerns father.
00:29:40Just before he died,
00:29:42he sent for me.
00:29:44I remember his words.
00:29:46On my death,
00:29:48you'll find yourself well provided for.
00:29:50You'll be rich.
00:29:52Remember this name.
00:29:54He repeated it twice.
00:29:56Marydew.
00:29:58Should he communicate with you,
00:30:00follow his instructions.
00:30:02For through him will come this inheritance.
00:30:04And the meeting three days ago?
00:30:06Began the fulfillment of father's words.
00:30:16I think I'm beginning to understand.
00:30:24I thought I saw...
00:30:32John! John!
00:30:46He was a black bearded man.
00:30:48Ill-dressed.
00:30:50Looked like a tramp.
00:30:52How tall?
00:30:54Oh, quite tall.
00:30:56Could you keep Miss Forrester under observation without her knowing it?
00:30:58I don't understand.
00:31:00Is Eileen in danger?
00:31:02In great danger.
00:31:04You are wise in coming to see me.
00:31:06Should anything unforeseen occur,
00:31:08get in touch with me.
00:31:10Go to her.
00:31:12Remember, get in touch with me.
00:31:22We are getting on, Watson.
00:31:24I'm glad to see you in a more cheerful mood.
00:31:26We've done remarkably well.
00:31:28I'm pleased.
00:31:30I admit I could do with a little explanation.
00:31:32I, too, feel a little curious.
00:31:34I considered the claims of Whittaker's almanac.
00:31:36As I see it,
00:31:38there is no doubt that
00:31:40Whittaker's almanac
00:31:42is the only evidence
00:31:44of the existence of a black bearded man.
00:31:46I'm sure of it.
00:31:48I'm sure of it.
00:31:50The claims of Whittaker's almanac.
00:31:52As I suspected,
00:31:54the large number represented the page,
00:31:56the second, the small number, the column,
00:31:58and the other figures, the message.
00:32:00You'll find it decoded on the table.
00:32:08The meeting of Scarlet Ring.
00:32:10Tuesday, nine o'clock.
00:32:12Yes.
00:32:14Very due.
00:32:16Possibly.
00:32:18Tomorrow will appear in the personal column
00:32:20of the Daily Telegraph a second message,
00:32:22a request for information.
00:32:24Your message?
00:32:26My message.
00:32:28And the next step?
00:32:30The need of fresh air will take me in the country tomorrow.
00:32:32In the meantime, relaxation,
00:32:34music.
00:32:36I hope I won't bore you.
00:32:38Not if you make it soft.
00:32:40I hope I won't bore you.
00:32:42Not if you make it soft.
00:33:04Ah, things are getting worse and worse.
00:33:06Ah, things are getting worse and worse.
00:33:08And more worse before it gets less worse.
00:33:10Same as I say.
00:33:12That we're a worried
00:33:14bad business about Captain Pike.
00:33:16A worried bad business.
00:33:18Same as I say.
00:33:22Ah, you tell us how the old range
00:33:24is going under the emmer.
00:33:26Lock, stock and barrel.
00:33:28Same as I say.
00:33:30And I almost broke this old back of mine
00:33:32to weed in that old garden.
00:33:34And to look at it now,
00:33:36you think I'd spend all me time in here?
00:33:42Morning, sir. Morning.
00:33:44Morning, morning.
00:33:46How far is the
00:33:48grange from here?
00:33:50Some will tell you four miles and some will tell you
00:33:52five. But I say it's
00:33:54more than four and less than
00:33:56five. Is there any means of
00:33:58getting there besides walking?
00:34:00Bless your heart. Yes, sir. I've an old trap.
00:34:02I'll harness up old Caesar and
00:34:04at all will he'll drive you over.
00:34:06May I take
00:34:08anything to drink?
00:34:10Wouldn't come amiss.
00:34:12Scotch. Scotch and
00:34:14splash. Put a bottle on the table
00:34:16some glasses and a cypher of soda.
00:34:18Come in, sir. Come in. Lord,
00:34:20it feels good to be busy again.
00:34:22You're a good send to him, sir.
00:34:24He hasn't had a fine customer for a
00:34:26long time.
00:34:28Check on the shift, sir.
00:34:30A four, you can say
00:34:32Check Robinson.
00:34:34Help yourself. Thank you, sir.
00:34:36Just a little drop, sir.
00:34:42Say when.
00:34:44When?
00:34:46Well, here's your very good ale, sir.
00:34:54I feel like a new man, sir.
00:34:56Well, and now give the new man
00:34:58a drink. Right-o, sir.
00:35:02Ahem.
00:35:04When?
00:35:06Here's your very good ale for going, sir.
00:35:08Good ale.
00:35:10Were you born in these parts?
00:35:12I have never
00:35:14seen none other. Worked for the
00:35:16part family all my life.
00:35:18Till I got tired of working.
00:35:20Got this old backache from weeding
00:35:22that bloody old garden. Then you
00:35:24would remember the late captain.
00:35:26And his father and the
00:35:28old gentleman of Holy's father.
00:35:32See that dent?
00:35:34That belongs to Captain Pike.
00:35:36A mark caused possibly
00:35:38by the imprint of a stone.
00:35:40And right you are, sir.
00:35:42Many a good-looking young master Robin
00:35:44got for chucking stones at me, sir.
00:35:48Sounds as though the young man was somewhat wild.
00:35:50Wild?
00:35:52He was a owly terror.
00:35:54Ready and waiting, sir.
00:35:56I've harnessed up old Caesar and he's ready to go.
00:35:58You must tell me some more
00:36:00on the way over. Better bring the bottle.
00:36:02Do I know, sir?
00:36:04Scotch is sure good for the backache.
00:36:10Steady, Caesar, steady.
00:36:12He's hard to handle
00:36:14when he's raring to go, sir.
00:36:16You were saying?
00:36:18You can't make English gentry out of
00:36:20the even shiny now, Al.
00:36:22Not in these parts.
00:36:24Very difficult, I imagine.
00:36:26When the captain was alive, did he stay here often?
00:36:28Until last Tuesday,
00:36:30we ain't seen nothing on him
00:36:32for close now on to two years.
00:36:38Shall we have one, sir?
00:36:40You take two.
00:36:42Right, Al, sir.
00:36:52The old back feels better already, sir.
00:36:54Magic.
00:36:56There's the grange now, sir.
00:36:58Look to these servants there now.
00:37:00Well, not in what you might call
00:37:02real servants, sir.
00:37:04There's Duff Dolly
00:37:06and William might have to be to keep that place.
00:37:08I kept it for 30 years.
00:37:10Stop a moment.
00:37:12Well, Caesar.
00:37:26I'll walk the rest of the way.
00:37:28I'm in a hurry.
00:37:30Wait here for me.
00:37:32I won't budge an inch.
00:37:56Ah!
00:38:08Have a heel, Padre.
00:38:26Is your mistress in?
00:38:28No, sir.
00:38:30Where is she?
00:38:32Loneltown.
00:38:34I understand that this house is for sale.
00:38:36I may wish to buy it.
00:38:38I'll look it over. I'll look it over.
00:38:56That's the mistress.
00:38:58Such a good-looker.
00:39:00Such eyes.
00:39:02She walks like a cat.
00:39:04Such a figure.
00:39:06Such a fine bit of good.
00:39:08Buzz. Buzz.
00:39:26Buzz.
00:39:56Just sleep here.
00:40:14Don't you feel all good?
00:40:16It's my heart. Water, quick.
00:40:18Just a minute. Just a minute.
00:40:26Just a minute.
00:40:44Drink this.
00:40:48I'll die.
00:40:50Telephone for a doctor.
00:40:52Oh, no. We haven't got any phones in the house.
00:40:54Oh, what?
00:40:56Doctor's a good five miles away.
00:40:58Fetch him. Hurry. Hurry.
00:41:00Run.
00:41:02All right. I'll run. I'll run.

00:44:27You are very nervous today.
00:44:29Well, I can't help it. Look at my hands. You know, I'm trembling all over.
00:44:36That'll stop the rattling at any rate.
00:44:39My late husband always spoke of you in the warmest terms. And you know the high regard in which I've always held you.
00:44:46Oh, have you?
00:44:47Can you doubt it? You are the only one who knows my husband's affairs.
00:44:52Everything has been left in the most terrible disorder. My house in the country will be sold.
00:44:57I wonder if you could spare the time.
00:45:01Yes?
00:45:02You could be my guest over the weekend. And we could go through his papers together.
00:45:08Well, you know, with pleasure. I can do with a bit of a change.
00:45:12We could drive down. Would tonight be possible?
00:45:16Tonight? No. You see, I've got an important meeting tonight.
00:45:20Then tomorrow.
00:45:22Tomorrow.
00:45:24May, may I make a little confession?
00:45:27You know, Mrs. Pike, I've always admired you tremendously.
00:45:51Who's that? Baker!
00:45:53Oh, it's you, is it?
00:45:55Who do you think it was? Where are the others?
00:45:58I'm the first one here.
00:46:01There's a rat among us.
00:46:03He has some spicy meat sinking on a chair.
00:46:06Tonight, someone has given away the code.
00:46:11Anyone supplying information concerning the scarlet ring will be rewarded.
00:46:17Apply Sherlock Holmes, 221A Baker Street.
00:46:23It's one of us, that's certain.
00:46:27We can leave the girl out of it.
00:46:29It can't be that dumb Chinaman.
00:46:32There remains you, myself, and Mary Dewey.
00:46:37Well, it's not me. On my oath.
00:46:39Or me, I swear it.
00:46:41Then it's...
00:46:42I thought that snake was double-crossing me.
00:46:45It's getting on my nerves.
00:46:47It's like living a nightmare.
00:46:49First Murphy, then Pike, then Dewey.
00:46:51Who'll be next?
00:46:57Suppose someone was to supply information to Sherlock Holmes.
00:47:01Then it would all come out.
00:47:02No, no, Holmes is different from the police.
00:47:05He protects clients.
00:47:06Holmes works with the police.
00:47:09What's in the back of your mind?
00:47:11I want a fighting charge.
00:47:13I want to leave.
00:47:15This suspense is getting on my nerves.
00:47:17It's killing me.
00:47:18What suspense?
00:47:21Well, pray, receive the gentleman.
00:47:25I overheard your conversation.
00:47:27It's most illuminating.
00:47:28We are not going on.
00:47:30No?
00:47:31Then why not, pray?
00:47:32I don't want to die like Murphy.
00:47:34Or be found dead like Pike.
00:47:36No? Perhaps you'd like to spend the rest of your lives in prison.
00:47:40No, my friend.
00:47:41Crime brought you together.
00:47:43And by crime, you will stick together.
00:47:47Gentlemen, in a few more days, the Scarlet Ring will cease to exist.
00:47:51Will cease to exist, you mean?
00:47:53I have just received word from the agent in Antwerp.
00:47:56The plunder has finally been disposed of.
00:47:59This time next week, the principle will be in my hands.
00:48:03A small, unimportant matter of some one million pounds.
00:48:08To be divided equally among us.
00:48:10Two hundred thousand pounds apiece.
00:48:14Two hundred thousand pounds.
00:48:16And meanwhile?
00:48:18We've waited for five years.
00:48:19What's the matter of a few days?
00:48:21Yeah, what guarantee is there we'll be alive to receive it?
00:48:24None.
00:48:26Of course, if it were a question of your life without the money, it might be arranged.
00:48:30How?
00:48:32A letter in the form of a deed of gift relinquishing your right to any benefits accruing to society.
00:48:36And give up two hundred thousand pounds?
00:48:39It might insure your life.
00:48:41I see a burn first.
00:48:46Not a word.
00:48:54Well, Miss Forrester, this is a pleasure. Come in.
00:49:01Won't you sit down?
00:49:13And now to business.
00:49:15Miss Forrester and gentlemen, again I have the pleasure of presiding at this meeting.
00:49:29Hello?
00:49:31One moment.
00:49:33Mr. Stanley.
00:49:36Yes?
00:49:38Where?
00:49:50Oh, thanks. Tell her you'll come.
00:49:52I followed her here and phoned you immediately.
00:49:55She went to the side door.
00:50:06There were four others. A lawyer, two white men, strangers, and a Chinaman.
00:50:37When it comes, it won't come from the sky.
00:50:40Oh, shut up.
00:50:42Oh?
00:50:43I'm on fire.
00:50:44Life's worth more to me than money.
00:50:46Yours may be, mine isn't.
00:50:48Shall we walk to the station together?
00:50:50No, no, you go ahead.
00:51:06She's inside. They've left her inside.
00:51:37Cass, quick, the door!
00:51:44Ivy!
00:51:46Get in the fresh air!
00:51:56You came in the nick of time.
00:51:58Get her home.
00:52:00Don't let her out of your sight.
00:52:02Guard her.
00:52:07I'm going to see you. Save me! Save me!
00:52:11Speaking as a medical man, it is extremely dangerous to run at your age and with your wit.
00:52:16Could I have a glass of water, please?
00:52:19Sit down.
00:52:21I don't have...
00:52:23a towel.
00:52:25I don't have a towel.
00:52:27I don't have a towel.
00:52:29I don't have a towel.
00:52:31I don't have a towel.
00:52:33I don't have a towel.
00:52:38I must apologize for bursting in like this, Mr. Holmes.
00:52:41I'm Dr. Watson. I don't know when Mr. Holmes will be back.
00:52:44Please wait.
00:53:05Come in.
00:53:21Sit down.
00:53:36Cigarette.
00:53:49Any luck?
00:53:52Too bad.
00:53:54I have here the securities.
00:53:57Easily negotiable for a million pounds.
00:54:01The Chinaman now yet is devoted to his mistress.
00:54:06Doubtless a generous present will satisfy him.
00:54:09On account of Holmes, I cannot impress upon you too sufficiently the necessity for speed.
00:54:14Everything must be finished tomorrow night at the Grange.
00:54:17I will make all the arrangements.
00:54:24You've got to help me, Mr. Holmes.
00:54:26If you don't, I'm a doomed man.
00:54:28Well, ten minutes ago, an attempt was made on my life.
00:54:31You see, I live on Eberly Street. I was on my way there.
00:54:34I was about to cross the road, and some instinct made me leap back.
00:54:38And as I did, a car, driven with terrific speed, and coming on the wrong side of the road, whizzed by me.
00:54:44How I escaped was a miracle.
00:54:47Did you find any chance of the occupant of the car?
00:54:49Yes. As it flashed by me, I caught a glimpse of the driver.
00:54:52A black bearded man.
00:54:54Is there anyone who would benefit by your death?
00:54:56Yes. Four persons.
00:54:58You see, Mr. Holmes, there's an estate to be settled up.
00:55:03And if I should go out, well, they get my share.
00:55:08Is any one of them capable of committing a crime?
00:55:11Yes. Three of them.
00:55:13How much is your share of the estate?
00:55:15Two hundred thousand pounds.
00:55:18Naturally, you would wish to live to enjoy it.
00:55:22When were you in China last?
00:55:25I was never in China.
00:55:27Come, come, sir. In the tattooing above the right wrist?
00:55:31Well, that, that was done in England.
00:55:34You must be mistaken. That particular yellow is to be found only in China.
00:55:40Why may you come to me?
00:55:42Well, you see, Mr. Holmes, I've, well, I've heard of your reputation.
00:55:47How did you know my address?
00:55:49Aren't you here in answer to my advertisement?
00:55:53Were you not returning from Limehouse?
00:55:57Are you not a member of the Scarlet Ring?
00:55:59Is it not a fact that three of your members are met with very sudden ends and you are terrified lest their fate befall you?
00:56:06Why, you must be the devil himself.
00:56:08Answer me.
00:56:09Yes, Mr. Holmes, but I'm helpless.
00:56:12I'm up against some power that no precaution can guard against.
00:56:19Go straight home and lock yourself in your house.
00:56:22But it's very old and easily broken into.
00:56:24You must tell her.
00:56:25Bomb proof.
00:56:26Hide there.
00:56:28On second thought, we'll see you at Weavery Street.
00:56:30Take her above her Watson.
00:56:33Mr. Holmes, do you think there's any hope?
00:56:35Obey my instructions implicitly and I can promise you almost a chance.
00:56:39Tomorrow, leave town.
00:56:42You see, Mr. Holmes, I had intended that.
00:56:44You see, I know a little place in the country that is secluded, miles away from any place.
00:56:49It belongs to the widow of an acquaintance of mine.
00:56:51The lady is an oriental, an Asiatic.
00:56:54As a matter of fact, she's Chinese.
00:56:56Mrs. Pike.
00:56:58When you arrive at the Grange near Shoeburyness, you'll probably be given the room next to the lady's.
00:57:07You'll find a door connecting the two rooms.
00:57:10Keep it locked.
00:57:11Arrive there neither before nor later than nine o'clock.
00:57:15On your arrival, pretend to head in.
00:57:17Pretend when?
00:57:18Oh, Mr. Holmes.
00:57:20Go straight to your room.
00:57:22If you value your life, don't open the door.
00:57:31Baker!
00:57:33They got him too!
00:57:51My dear, says he.
00:57:53For me.
00:57:54And that's the last I see of him.
00:57:57A regular queer and free with his money.
00:57:59Same as I say.
00:58:01He must have been a picker when he was a lad.
00:58:05Dolly ran all the way to fetch Dr. Smallwood.
00:58:08And she and Smallwood now burst a blood vessel trying to get to him.
00:58:13And when they found him, he was dead.
00:58:16And nearly one of them ever set eyes on him again.
00:58:19Same as I say.
00:58:22Company.
00:58:23Evening, gentlemen.
00:58:24Evening.
00:58:25Must be good to make way for the gents.
00:58:27Good evening, gentlemen.
00:58:28Good evening.
00:58:29Good evening.
00:58:30Take anything to drink?
00:58:32Wouldn't come amiss.
00:58:33Scotch and splash?
00:58:35Scotch and splash?
00:58:36How did you know, sir?
00:58:37Thank you, sir.
00:58:38Give your orders, gentlemen.
00:58:41Coffee and smells.
00:58:42Thank you, gentlemen.
00:58:43Good evening, gentlemen.
00:58:44Coffee and smells.
00:58:45,
00:59:10What brings you gentlemen round these airports?
00:59:17This friend of mine belongs to the medical profession.
00:59:20A patient of his has escaped, an old gentleman of any dangerous character.
00:59:24That's the reason for all these wardens.
00:59:26An old gentleman? Wearing a cape? Stoops a bit? Big in the belly?
00:59:31You've seen him?
00:59:32Have I seen him?
00:59:33Yes, sir. The Dolly at the Grange seen him.
00:59:35And Dr. Smallwood ought to seen him, but he never set eyes on him.
00:59:38As sure as I'm standing here, sir. He sat right there.
00:59:42Indeed, it was the day before yesterday.
00:59:44Doctor, we're on the right set.
00:59:47Stay where?
00:59:48Waiting.
00:59:53Well, he's your very good help, sir.
00:59:59Another beer?
01:00:00Thank you very kindly, sir.
01:00:03Pay the bill once.
01:00:05And take care of this gentleman.
01:00:07Come along, sir.
01:00:08What'll he have?
01:00:09Well, I'm here hoping that we get him.
01:00:11Who?
01:00:12Dash my buttons if I know.
01:00:14My mind has never been in such a fog.
01:00:19It's time to leave.
01:00:21Gregson should be there by now.
01:00:23We'll have the Grange so well surrounded, a cat couldn't get through without being seen.
01:00:27Come along, men.
01:00:35Mr. Holmes, something terrible has happened.
01:00:37Miss Forrester has disappeared.
01:00:39Disappeared? But I told you to guard her.
01:00:41But I couldn't understand your telegram.
01:00:43Telegram? What telegram?
01:00:44Insulting me to meet you at Dover.
01:00:45Are you mad?
01:00:46I don't know. I'm almost insane with worry.
01:00:48Go on.
01:00:49Well, I arrived at Dover and suspected it was a hoax.
01:00:51I turned about immediately. Fortunately, I have a racing car.
01:00:54Arriving there, I went straight to Eileen's house.
01:00:57She'd gone.
01:00:58I made trouble and she left in the early afternoon with a strange woman.
01:01:02A Chinese woman?
01:01:03Yes.
01:01:04I called you, but you left.
01:01:05When I gave my name to your housekeeper, she told me where I could locate you.
01:01:08Oh, Mr. Holmes, what could have happened? Where could she be?
01:01:11Come this way. There's not a moment to lose.
01:01:22Mr. Holmes is late.
01:01:24Are you sure you're not mistaken?
01:01:26I had written instructions to bring you here.
01:01:28You saw this?
01:01:30You saw this?
01:01:33Perhaps the fog.
01:01:34My session will be here.
01:01:36If not tonight, then tomorrow morning.
01:01:40Who's there?
01:01:42Strange.
01:01:43I seldom...
01:01:44Close.
01:01:54Stop!
01:01:56If you open that door, then I'll choke the luck out of you.
01:01:59Mr. Wilson, have you lost your reason?
01:02:02Hell, if he opens that door, he'll never lift open another.
01:02:16Who is it?
01:02:17Telegraph for you.
01:02:24Telegraph for Miss Forrester.
01:02:26I'll give it to her.
01:02:54Good news?
01:03:00Excuse me.
01:03:01What is it? What is it?
01:03:04What does it mean?
01:03:11Miss Forrester, when you go to your room, lock your door.
01:03:18And keep it locked.
01:03:24What's the matter?
01:03:26I'm rather chilly.
01:03:30Who's there?
01:03:31It's me, sir.
01:03:33Did you deliver the telegram?
01:03:35Yes, sir.
01:03:36To Miss Forrester herself?
01:03:37I'll give it to one lady to give to the other, sir.
01:03:39Thank you. Good night.
01:03:40Good night, sir.
01:03:41Don't let me go to her.
01:03:43Wait.
01:03:44I'll never do it again.
01:03:46What?
01:03:47Stand about all night without a flask.
01:03:50Look, Holmes. Over there.
01:03:54Drop your gun.
01:03:56Well, Inspector?
01:03:57I checked up on all points.
01:03:58No one could have slipped through.
01:04:03Good night, my dear.
01:04:04My bedroom is just across the corridor.
01:04:07If you should want me for anything, don't hesitate to call me.
01:04:21Good night.
01:04:22Good night.
01:04:27Good night.
01:04:43Mr. Wilson, are you in bed?
01:04:45Yes, yes.
01:04:47Sorry.
01:04:48Good night.
01:04:49Good night.
01:04:51Who's that?
01:04:52Frankson.
01:04:53He's here.
01:04:54Came by boat.
01:04:55When?
01:04:5615 minutes ago.
01:04:57Why didn't you let me know sooner?
01:04:58It's this fog.
01:04:59Our men lost their bearings.
01:05:01Watch the front of the house.
01:05:02Come.
01:05:03Come.
01:05:04All right, you stay here.
01:05:05Very good, sir.
01:05:21I thought you would never come.
01:05:23It's this ghostly fog.
01:05:26Where's the girl?
01:05:27At the end of the corridor.
01:05:29Good.
01:05:30And Wilson?
01:05:31He's locked his door.
01:05:33He came out.
01:05:34Offering any inducement.
01:05:42I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:44I'm sorry.
01:05:45I'm sorry.
01:05:46I'm sorry.
01:05:47I'm sorry.
01:05:48I'm sorry.
01:05:50It's in my house.
01:06:10It's Eileen.
01:06:11That's Eileen.
01:06:15Mr. Wilson.
01:06:16Quick.
01:06:17Miss Foster.
01:06:18What the devil has happened?
01:06:49Eileen, my darling, are you all right?
01:06:52Help!
01:06:53Murder!
01:06:54Help!
01:06:57Break it down.
01:07:02Help!
01:07:03Help!
01:07:08Holmes!
01:07:09Holmes!
01:07:10Holmes!
01:07:11Are you all right?
01:07:12Quite all right.
01:07:13Thank you, Wilson.
01:07:14Take them downstairs.
01:07:15Help me.
01:07:16Help me.
01:07:17Please help us.
01:07:18Give me a hand.
01:07:19Let go.
01:07:23Help us.
01:07:24Hold.
01:07:25No.
01:07:26What the hell?
01:07:29Eileen, if you stay with me.
01:07:31I won't care any longer what so.
01:07:33Eileen, if you stay, you're closed,
01:07:35three days, no articles, you lose half your lives.
01:07:38A world of probability.
01:07:40We're wasting them all.
01:07:42Casualties.
01:07:44As I suspected.
01:07:46Captain Pike!
01:07:52You are charged with the murders of James Murphy, Malcolm Dearing and William Baker.
01:07:57And this woman?
01:07:59As an accomplice.
01:08:00Take him away.
01:08:10I saw him killed.
01:08:12You saw him pretend to be killed.
01:08:14It was he who attacked you.
01:08:16He was shot.
01:08:18No shot broke that window.
01:08:20He broke it himself.
01:08:21But the blood.
01:08:23Animal blood.
01:08:24On a sponge.
01:08:26Many of you of course was in on it.
01:08:28Mr. Holmes!
01:08:29There's a second man outside.
01:08:30Came the car.
01:08:31I thought it my duty to detain him.
01:08:33Bring him in.
01:08:43Well, well, well, Mr. Holmes.
01:08:45This is indeed a surprise.
01:08:47What are you doing here?
01:08:49Well, surely a man has the right to visit his own house.
01:08:52I own the mortgage on this place.
01:08:54I've invited some friends down for the weekend to discuss some business.
01:08:57It won't do me any good.
01:08:58Arrest him.
01:09:00Well, this is rather a high-handed procedure.
01:09:03What are the charges, Holmes?
01:09:05The greatest possible.
01:09:07That of being accessory to the murders of James Murphy, Malcolm Dearing and William Baker.
01:09:12With the attempted murder of Jabez Wilson and Miss Eileen Forrester.
01:09:17Rather a tall indictment.
01:09:19I think you'd better have the bracelets.
01:09:21May I help you?
01:09:22I've more than enough.
01:09:24Then who can tell?
01:09:26I say, who can tell?
01:09:33This will make promotion this way.
01:09:35I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Holmes.
01:09:37But how you did it beats me.
01:09:39Simple enough.
01:09:40Simple.
01:09:41Simple?
01:09:43By the examination of the footsteps in the garden of Mr. Dearing's house,
01:09:47I'm probably certain of the murderer's description.
01:09:49You'll remember the ring.
01:09:51There was no mark to indicate that it had remained on that finger for a period of six years as stated by his mistress.
01:09:57His wife, you mean?
01:09:59Mistress, Watson.
01:10:00Mistress.
01:10:01Well, you ought to know.
01:10:03And the scarlet ring?
01:10:05Perhaps you will remember the disappearance of the Mandarin's gems in China some years ago.
01:10:09Perfectly.
01:10:10To realize on gems of international repute would be a ticklish matter.
01:10:14Very. That had to be broken up piece by piece and then disposed of carefully and slowly.
01:10:18Exactly.
01:10:19The scarlet ring was formed by the instigators of the original crime to protect the receiving end.
01:10:24And what was Pike's motive?
01:10:26Green.
01:10:27The last survivor would become the recipient of the entire booty.
01:10:31I think it will be found at Pike with the original ringleader.
01:10:34But Mr. Wilson could furnish us with an answer to that.
01:10:37Not one word.
01:10:43We shall never forget you, Mr. Holmes.
01:10:45Rather not, sir.
01:10:46You must invite me to the wedding.
01:10:48Perhaps you'll give me a wedding.
01:10:50I appreciate the compliment, but I never give a lady a wedding.
01:10:53Except I'm a professional.
01:10:54Come, Doctor.
01:10:56They'll send you when they need you.
01:11:01THE END
