00:03:40THAT'S YOURS, COLONEL.
00:03:41THANK YOU.
00:03:42MR. BICKER
00:03:43ANOTHER WISKEY.
00:03:44THANK YOU.
00:03:45YOU CAN GET ME ONE,
00:03:46CASTLY.
00:03:46THEY COME AND SIT BY
00:03:47AND IT'LL CHANGE MY LIFE.
00:03:48OH, STOP TALKING.
00:03:49I'M TRYING TO FELL THIS HAND.
00:03:50THE SORT OF HANDS YOU HOLD
00:03:52PLAY THEMSELVES.
00:03:54EH, CARL HENSLER?
00:03:55BRONNY HOLDS
00:03:56THE MOST AMAZING CARDS.
00:03:59THE REST ARE MINE.
00:04:00I SPOUS BECAUSE
00:04:01I'M YOUR BROTHER, CASTLY,
00:04:02AND I CAN'T HAVE A DRINK.
00:04:04THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:05FOR A SPAGE.
00:04:12DR. WATSON IS HERE, MISS.
00:04:14HE SAYS HE WON'T DISTURB THE BRING.
00:04:16THANK YOU, MARSHALL.
00:04:17TELL HIM, I'LL BE WITH HIM
00:04:18IN A MOMENT.
00:04:18THANK YOU.
00:04:19GUMPS.
00:04:21HE SAYS WE HAVE THE
00:04:23KING-
00:04:29Now, what about Olive?
00:04:31Four in one hand
00:04:32and one in the dummy
00:04:33that's 81.
00:04:34Excuse me, sir. This was on the floor.
00:04:37Ah, thanks.
00:04:42Ah, thank you.
00:04:50Ah, my dear, I believe. Will you cut cover?
00:04:53Come and sit by me, Kathleen.
00:04:55I can't leave Dr. Watson alone. I must go.
00:04:57Is that the Dr. Watson, the friend of Sherlock Holmes?
00:05:00Yes.
00:05:02Then you know Holmes?
00:05:03No.
00:05:04Dr. Watson has known her since Ronnie and I were kids.
00:05:07But we've never met Mr. Holmes.
00:05:08Oh.
00:05:09He's always too busy.
00:05:10I see.
00:05:11I've got two aces of spades.
00:05:15But we've used this pack before.
00:05:19Oh, I know.
00:05:20Marston found one on the floor.
00:05:23Yes, but how could...
00:05:24And it must have dropped out here.
00:05:45You are cut, please, Carla.
00:05:47Cut for me, Ronnie.
00:05:50Well...
00:05:50Oh, don't go, Kathleen.
00:05:52I'll come and say goodnight to you all before I go to bed.
00:05:54I expect you'll all be at it till three.
00:05:57Hmm.
00:05:57Now, don't get up.
00:05:59I hope you all will.
00:06:08My dear, how kind of you to come.
00:06:10A summons from you comes before even a summons from Sherlock Holmes.
00:06:15It's sweet of you to stay, sir, anyhow.
00:06:17Take off your coat and let me give you a drink.
00:06:18No, thanks.
00:06:19I can't stay.
00:06:20I came for a moment because you sent for me.
00:06:25Well, let's sit down for a minute.
00:06:39Has Ronnie got another billiard attack?
00:06:41No.
00:06:42It's nothing, really.
00:06:44I'm a bit worried.
00:06:46Kathleen, dear, won't you confide in me?
00:06:49It's about Ronnie.
00:06:51Just gambling.
00:06:52You know, six months ago we hadn't a shilling.
00:06:55You mean when your trusty absconded and shot himself?
00:06:58Yes.
00:06:58We were going to leave here.
00:07:00Ronnie was going to give up the diplomatic service.
00:07:03And then he began to pay bridge for high stakes.
00:07:06But I always understood he was an exceedingly fine player.
00:07:09He is.
00:07:10But you can't always win.
00:07:13What do you mean?
00:07:15Always.
00:07:16Sometimes it's twenty pounds.
00:07:19Sometimes five hundred.
00:07:20But he never loses.
00:07:23It looks as if...
00:07:25Oh, I can't say it.
00:07:27It's impossible.
00:07:28Ronnie isn't capable of such a thing.
00:07:30But I would like to be sure.
00:07:33How can one make sure?
00:07:35Well, I really don't know.
00:07:37I'll ask Holmes.
00:07:38Oh, no.
00:07:39He might arrest Ronnie.
00:07:41Oh, of course he wouldn't.
00:07:43But he might frighten him into giving up cards.
00:07:46I never thought of that.
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49Do ask him to do something.
00:07:51I'll come round and see him in the morning, may I?
00:07:54Well, I don't know.
00:07:55Yes, I may.
00:07:56You'll make him see me, won't you?
00:07:58He thinks an awful lot of you.
00:08:01Well, I don't think I need to waste time.
00:08:03It's a grand slam.
00:08:04I'll make seven spades, three diamonds, two hearts and the ace of clubs.
00:08:08That's right.
00:08:10Another big rubber.
00:08:11Well, that just about cleaned me up.
00:08:13Well, I make the difference.
00:08:15Sixteen a hundred points.
00:08:17You add up very quickly.
00:08:18Quite a mathematician, eh?
00:08:20How much is that?
00:08:22A hundred and sixty pounds.
00:08:24Well, I've lost both rubbers, and so I owe you two hundred and fifty-five pounds.
00:08:29We settle up at the end.
00:08:33This is the end.
00:08:39My, uh, my wife is not very well, and I promise to go home early.
00:08:45Well, if you must, you must.
00:08:47I'm sorry to spoil your evening, but perhaps you can get Miss Adair to make her before.
00:08:51Kathleen plays a game that resembles hockey more than bridge.
00:08:55Still, if you are determined, we'll see you Monday.
00:08:57I'm afraid I shall be able.
00:08:59I have to go out of town on important business, and I don't know when I shall be back.
00:09:04Then it's no use trying to fix another evening.
00:09:06I'm afraid not.
00:09:08Let me know when you're back.
00:09:10Good night.
00:09:12And thanks very much.
00:09:14I didn't know Sir Timothy played bridge.
00:09:17Sir Timothy?
00:09:18Yes. Timothy Probisher.
00:09:19He's the fourth.
00:09:21You know, one can't work long with Sherlock Holmes without picking up some of his tricks of observation and deduction.
00:09:27What makes you think he's here?
00:09:29His initials.
00:09:30T.F. Timothy Probisher.
00:09:33Elementary, my dear Kathleen.
00:09:36And then, for further indications.
00:09:38The owner of this hat is immensely tall.
00:09:41You see, he's bruised the top edge here, probably going through a door.
00:09:45Excuse me, may I have my hat?
00:09:48Yours?
00:09:49Certainly.
00:09:50My initials are inside.
00:09:52T.E.E.R.S.
00:09:53Thomas Fisher.
00:09:55I beg your pardon.
00:09:56You're not going?
00:09:57Yes.
00:09:58My wife is not very well, and I promise to get home early.
00:10:01Oh, I am sorry.
00:10:02I think I'll go too.
00:10:09Well, good night, and thanks, Mr. Ray.
00:10:11Sorry, I had this rotten luck.
00:10:13See you Monday.
00:10:15Well, Ray, I, I think I'd better not.
00:10:17I've lost an awful lot lately, and I think I'd better chuck it for a bit.
00:10:21Well, just as you like.
00:10:22Well, it didn't think me rude, but, but I just can't afford it.
00:10:25That's all right about it.
00:10:27Good night, Colonel.
00:10:29Good night.
00:10:37Well, have you to have a sick wife and a business appointment?
00:10:40No.
00:10:41A whiskey and soda.
00:10:43I'm sorry.
00:10:46I don't see why.
00:10:49Fisher, being a millionaire, naturally loses his temper when he loses sixpence.
00:10:54And Tony Rutherford is broke.
00:10:57Anything there for?
00:10:58What else?
00:10:59Oh, nothing of course.
00:11:00You can always get another four.
00:11:02Then you'll continue to come.
00:11:05With pleasure.
00:11:07I'm not afraid of losing sixpence.
00:11:10And I'm lucky.
00:11:12I often cut with you.
00:11:20What's the matter with you all stopping you too early?
00:11:22Well, Fisher had to go.
00:11:25And for once in my life, I'm going to have an early night.
00:11:29Then I'll see you out.
00:11:30Good night, Ronnie.
00:11:32Good night, Colonel.
00:11:38Good night.
00:11:43Good night.
00:11:44Good night.
00:11:48Good night.
00:11:49Good night.
00:11:51Good night.
00:11:52Good night.
00:11:52Good night.
00:11:52Good night.
00:11:52Good night.
00:13:53You know exactly what I mean.
00:13:53We've always been the best of pals.
00:13:55But if you're going to say things like that, I...
00:13:57Don't you see everything points to it?
00:13:59Oh, I don't believe it.
00:14:00I won't believe it.
00:14:03If I did, I'd rather put a bullet through your head than earn a brotherhood.
00:14:07I guess nothing.
00:14:08Excuse me, sir.
00:14:09A note from the foreign office.
00:14:13Thanks.
00:14:15Who brought it?
00:14:16The commissioner.
00:14:17Neither?
00:14:18No, sir.
00:14:19He said there would be no answer.
00:14:21Thanks.
00:14:23Shall you want anything else, sir?
00:14:25Not tonight, Marston.
00:14:27I shall have breakfast a bit earlier.
00:14:28The foreign craft may help us at night.
00:14:31Very good, sir.
00:14:32Good night, please.
00:14:33Good night, Marston.
00:14:34Good night, sir.
00:14:35Good night, sir.
00:14:36Good night.
00:14:40Good night.
00:14:40Anything serious?
00:14:42Well, if you must know, they want me to go and see some German fellow in Hampstead.
00:14:46Who will tell me some official secret which was probably published in last night's paper.
00:14:51Don't go, Ronnie.
00:14:52I've got to have this out with you.
00:14:54I can't believe.
00:14:57Ronnie.
00:15:06No?
00:15:08No.
00:15:10No.
00:15:21No.
00:15:22No.
00:15:35No.
00:16:08What shall I do with Mr. Holmes's breakfast?
00:16:11Isn't he up yet?
00:16:12Ain't no sign of him.
00:16:13Hasn't even took in his shaving water.
00:16:15I do wish he'd be a bit more regular in his habit.
00:16:18Meals at all times of the day just turn out upside down.
00:16:22But you know, Mrs. Hudson, you always insist on keeping his meals for him.
00:16:26He never asks.
00:16:27Yes, but the poor man must eat sometimes.
00:16:30If I didn't see that he had a bite down again, it'd have been in his grave years ago.
00:16:34I should go and bang on his door.
00:16:37Me, yes, sir.
00:16:38But sometimes when he's thinking out his problems, he's that cross when he's disturbed.
00:16:43He won't be this morning.
00:16:45He's rather good-tempered.
00:16:50And he doesn't want any breakfast.
00:16:58No, Mr. Holmes.
00:16:59You did give me a turn.
00:17:01See, well, one good turn deserves another.
00:17:05What can I do for you?
00:17:06It's a breakfast, sir.
00:17:07Oh, I've already breakfasted with the manager of the London and Commercial Bank.
00:17:12Oh, so they've sent for you for this.
00:17:14Are you sure I can't tempt you to a nice bit of addict?
00:17:18My dear Mrs. Hudson, you've always been a temptation to me.
00:17:22But addicts, after a good breakfast, is not.
00:17:26No, you do carry on.
00:17:28It's a good job I don't take you serious.
00:17:30I'm perfectly serious.
00:17:32Jokes are not my strong point.
00:17:34Ask the doctor.
00:17:36I never see any of his.
00:17:38No.
00:17:39I've been wondering, my dear Watson, why you don't get the batteries of your car recharged.
00:17:44What do you mean?
00:17:44You had great difficulty in getting your car to start last night.
00:17:47The batteries are run down.
00:17:49They are?
00:17:50But how did you know?
00:17:53You've a blister at the base of your fingers on the right hand.
00:17:57As you've not been sculling on the serpentine this morning, I deduced that you've been cranking your car.
00:18:01That's rather wonderful.
00:18:03That's elementary, my dear Watson.
00:18:06Elementary.
00:18:07Look, let me give you a hand.
00:18:08Thank you, sir.
00:18:08Can you lift that?
00:18:09Yes.
00:18:10And the cloth on the top, of course.
00:18:12There you are.
00:18:15You're sure there's nothing else I can do for you?
00:18:17No, nothing, thank you.
00:18:18Oh, wait a minute.
00:18:19Let me give you a hand.
00:18:27Why have they sent for you about this?
00:18:30It's perfectly simple.
00:18:31A man tries to burden the bank, is disturbed, kills the watchman, and runs away.
00:18:39I find it very interesting.
00:18:47Have you ever heard of Professor Robert Moriarty?
00:18:50No.
00:18:51What's he got to do with it?
00:18:52Oh, he's to do with half the crimes the world over.
00:18:55He started as a mathematical professor, but ugly rumors gathered around him, and he resigned.
00:19:04Well, after that, he vanished for ten years or so.
00:19:07I fancy he went abroad.
00:19:09Then he returned to England, and things began to happen.
00:19:14What thing?
00:19:17For a long time, I've been conscious of some power.
00:19:21A deep organization, which stands in the way of the law, once he made a slip, and I was able
00:19:30to deduce that behind that power was Moriarty.
00:19:36That he recovered himself, but he recovered himself, and I could prove nothing.
00:19:41He has hundreds of agents, none of whom have ever seen him.
00:19:44Sometimes an agent is caught, but the man who plans most of the crimes that are committed is never caught,
00:19:52never even suspected.
00:19:55He knows that I know of his activity.
00:19:58He also knows that up to now, I've been unable to reach him.
00:20:02And you think he's connected with this bank murder?
00:20:06I think it's highly profitable.
00:20:12Yes?
00:20:13Yes, come in.
00:20:15Inspector Lestrade, to see you.
00:20:16Oh, ah, Lestrade.
00:20:18Anything fresh?
00:20:19No, Mr. Holmes?
00:20:20Sit down, Lestrade.
00:20:22I just came in to get that piece of brown paper.
00:20:25Oh, yes, yes, this little piece.
00:20:27You mean, I should like to keep it a little longer, if I may.
00:20:30I haven't yet decided what the rest of the label is.
00:20:34Well, I don't see how you ever can.
00:20:38It's just an ordinary shopkeeper's label.
00:20:42There's not enough of it to tell us anything.
00:20:44Well, I disagree, my dear Lestrade.
00:20:46But then, you and I so often disagree.
00:20:50Oh, come, Mr. Holmes.
00:20:51I have a great respect for your theory.
00:20:53It's only when you begin about this Professor Moriarty.
00:20:56You don't believe in him.
00:20:58I ask you, is it possible for a man to plan half the crime in this country
00:21:03without the yard knowing who he is, where he lives, or anything about it?
00:21:07It does seem rather strange.
00:21:09I mean, the man can't live nowhere and never be seen by anyone.
00:21:12Of course.
00:21:13Lots of people know him, but they don't know that he's Moriarty.
00:21:17You yourself may know him.
00:21:19Jokes are not your strong point, Holmes.
00:21:21Well, I'm perfectly serious.
00:21:22He has a hundred disguises and a hundred aliases.
00:21:27And I'm pretty certain he had a hand in this bank robbery.
00:21:30But it wasn't a robbery.
00:21:32The thief got nothing.
00:21:33He broke into the bank and...
00:21:35Have you ever tried to break into a bank, Lester?
00:21:38Me?
00:21:40No.
00:21:41I thought not.
00:21:43But do you seriously think it's possible for one man to break into a bank
00:21:47without using anything short of dynamite?
00:21:50There were no signs of a force, Henry.
00:21:52Which might point to the fact of his having an accomplice.
00:21:55Or even two.
00:21:57He got inside.
00:21:59Which doesn't necessarily mean your professor.
00:22:02The man was interrupted by the watchman, killed him, got frightened and boasted.
00:22:07And yet, inside the safe, we found this piece of brown paper.
00:22:14Three people swear it was not there when the safe was shut last night.
00:22:18Then he was inside when he was disturbed.
00:22:20Or before he went inside.
00:22:22He had this paper wrapped round something.
00:22:26You'll observe that this end here is slightly torn and there is a bloodstain on it.
00:22:31I therefore deduce that the struggle with the watchman took place first.
00:22:35And he then took his parcel into the safe.
00:22:38Ah, it won't work, Mr. Holmes.
00:22:41It won't work.
00:22:42There was 70,000 pounds of note in the box.
00:22:46And not one of them is missing.
00:22:49How true.
00:22:51How true.
00:22:52But if you remember, a fortnight ago, an almost similar thing occurred in Berlin.
00:22:57In Berlin?
00:22:58Yes.
00:23:01You should read your Berliner Tageblatt, my dear let's say.
00:23:04The strong room of the Reichsbank was entered.
00:23:07The watchman was laid out, happily not killed, and nothing was removed.
00:23:11Very strange, Mr. Holmes.
00:23:13Very strange indeed.
00:23:15It looks almost as if there was a connection.
00:23:18I should like time to think it out a bit.
00:23:20Uh, when can I have that piece of brown paper?
00:23:23I'll let you have it this evening.
00:23:24In the meantime, would you be good enough to warn all foreign customs officials to be on the lookout for
00:23:29a very large quantity of English bank notes,
00:23:31which will be smuggled through in ordinary lugging, would you think?
00:23:34I think it would be a wise precaution.
00:23:36Very good, Mr. Holmes.
00:23:38I'll get back to the yard now and put the matter in hand.
00:23:40Good morning, gentlemen.
00:23:49The chief has arrived, sir.
00:23:51Oh?
00:23:52What are his orders?
00:23:53He will interview Mr. Adair himself.
00:23:55Right.
00:23:56Send Mr. Adair in.
00:24:07What the devil's the meaning of this?
00:24:51What the devil's the meaning of this?
00:25:05Adair.
00:25:12Adair.
00:25:13Adair.
00:25:17My God, am I drunk or what?
00:25:19I hope not at ten o'clock in the morning.
00:25:24What's all this about?
00:25:25I was seized in a car, blindfolded, and driven half-round alone.
00:25:29I apologize for that.
00:25:30It was just a slight precaution.
00:25:33And you must forgive me concealing my identity behind the sleeping cardinal.
00:25:38Please sit down.
00:25:53Are you Mr. Mr. Clank?
00:25:56Mr. Otto Clank?
00:25:58No.
00:25:59Poor Otto Clank must have been dead a good many years.
00:26:02What the devil's the meaning of this?
00:26:03What the devil's the meaning of this?
00:26:04Only that I have a slight favor to ask of you, Mr. Adair.
00:26:07A favor?
00:26:09Who are you, anyway?
00:26:10I understand that you are leaving on the Golden Arrow at eleven o'clock tomorrow for Paris.
00:26:15And if I am?
00:26:16You are going on foreign office business.
00:26:19And you will have a lacy passe, which means that your luggage will not be examined by the customs.
00:26:26I want you to take a suitcase to Paris for me.
00:26:29I'll do nothing of the kind.
00:26:31Why should I?
00:26:32Because you can't help yourself.
00:26:34Don't be ridiculous.
00:26:35Sit down, madame.
00:26:37Don't go to hell.
00:26:38Sit down.
00:26:40You have been cheating at cards.
00:26:43What?
00:26:44I repeat, you have been cheating at cards.
00:26:49I should have warned you that this picture is painted on steel.
00:26:56Sit down.
00:27:01All your life you have been interested in sleight of hands.
00:27:04Your trick of farming a whole pack of cards has been very useful to you.
00:27:09Since your trustee absconded and left you and your sister penniless.
00:27:13It's a lie.
00:27:14You have taken to Plainbridge for very high stakes.
00:27:17When you deal, you simply change the pack after it has been cut to you.
00:27:23You have a carefully prepared pack in the palm of your hand.
00:27:27You do the same when you cut a pack to your opponent.
00:27:30Now this procedure, if publicly known, is not likely to lead to an advancement either social or diplomatic.
00:27:40In fact, it means the end of you.
00:27:45Who's been telling you this ridiculous story?
00:27:47Last night you made a slip.
00:27:50You dropped the ace of spades.
00:27:54Now I think I can count on your doing me this very slight service.
00:28:01Go on.
00:28:01A suitcase bearing your initials will be delivered at your flat at 9.30 this evening.
00:28:07You will pass it through the customs with your other luggage.
00:28:10I understand you have engaged a room at the Bristol in Paris.
00:28:14You will take your luggage there.
00:28:17And by 10 o'clock tomorrow night, the suitcase will have vanished from your room.
00:28:22You will make no comment.
00:28:25What's in this precious suitcase?
00:28:27That does not concern you.
00:28:29Yes, but it might be anything.
00:28:31Stolen jewels, bombs, heaven knows what.
00:28:34No, I'll be damned if I'll be made use of it this way.
00:28:37I feel sure that you will change your mind.
00:28:41In the event of your not doing so, you will find the only alternative in the box on the table.
00:28:53What do you mean?
00:28:59Here.
00:29:00Come back, whoever you are.
00:29:02What do you mean?
00:29:12What do you mean?
00:29:12The only alternative.
00:29:15Oh my God.
00:29:31What are you trying to do?
00:29:33I'm trying to see how many Bank of England notes will go into a parcel of this size.
00:29:38You see, my dear Watson, that this, er, note should fit into these creases.
00:29:45There you are, as I thought exactly.
00:29:48Yes.
00:29:48Are you busy this morning, Watson?
00:29:50No, I kept the morning free.
00:29:52I rather hoped you'd see Kathleen Adair.
00:29:54She's due here now.
00:29:55I sent her a note on the way home from the bank.
00:29:58Oh, that's very kind of you.
00:29:59And then you will have a talk to Ronnie.
00:30:01No, I want to talk about it.
00:30:03He's in the diplomatic service, isn't he?
00:30:06Yes.
00:30:07And what's that got to do with it?
00:30:08What's, what's got to do with what, Watson?
00:30:12Come in.
00:30:14Mr. Dare to see you, sir.
00:30:18How wonderful of you to have managed this.
00:30:20It's terribly kind of you to see me.
00:30:22Not at all.
00:30:23Won't you sit down?
00:30:30The Watsons told me how worried you are about your brother, but I don't quite see what I can do.
00:30:36I've been wondering if you could find out if it's really true.
00:30:40If it is.
00:30:41And I can't believe that it is.
00:30:44Perhaps you could frighten him into giving up.
00:30:46Well, whom does he play as a rule?
00:30:48Well, last night there was Tony Rutherford, old Mr. Fisher.
00:30:52What, Thomas Fisher, the millionaire?
00:30:54Yes.
00:30:55And Colonel Henslow, an old friend of ours.
00:30:58Fisher.
00:31:01I wonder...
00:31:06Forgive me, Mrs. Dare, but does your brother travel at all on official business?
00:31:12Quite a lot.
00:31:13In fact, he's off to Paris tomorrow.
00:31:14Ah, I thought so.
00:31:16How long has he known that he would be going tomorrow?
00:31:19Three or four days, I think.
00:31:21Where is your brother at the moment?
00:31:23I don't know.
00:31:24At the foreign office by now, I should think.
00:31:27He went out early this morning.
00:31:28They sent a car for him.
00:31:29Do you happen to know where he had to go?
00:31:33I think he said Hampstead.
00:31:35I know it wasn't far.
00:31:37He should be back at the office by now.
00:31:39Yes.
00:31:40They think a great deal of your brother at the foreign office.
00:31:44They used to.
00:31:45But lately, he's been paying so much fridge.
00:31:48I'm afraid he's been neglecting his work.
00:31:51Yes, that's a pity.
00:31:53Yes.
00:31:53I wonder if you'd be good enough to ask your brother to come and see me this afternoon.
00:31:57Of course.
00:31:59I'll go round to the foreign office now.
00:32:01Of course.
00:32:01I might just get him.
00:32:02Why not telephone?
00:32:03He hates being run up there and I couldn't explain on the telephone.
00:32:07What shall I do if I miss him?
00:32:09Well, when will you be seeing him?
00:32:10Tonight.
00:32:11He's dining out and he's bound to come into dress.
00:32:14Very well.
00:32:14In that case, would you be good enough to ask him to come and see me in the morning before
00:32:17he starts?
00:32:18That's awfully kind of it.
00:32:20Don't mention bridge to it.
00:32:21As a matter of fact, I shall not say a word on that subject myself.
00:32:26But you may rest assured that after he has seen me, he will never gamble again.
00:32:33I can't tell you how grateful I am.
00:32:35Not at all.
00:32:36But I am grateful to you.
00:32:45Good luck.
00:32:48Watson?
00:32:50Yes?
00:32:58What's all this mean, Holmes?
00:33:00It means, my dear Watson, that the foreign office doesn't send a car to take a very unimportant young man
00:33:06to Hepstead.
00:33:15Hello?
00:33:17Hello?
00:33:19Yes?
00:33:20Speaking.
00:33:22Who's that?
00:33:24Mrs. Smith.
00:33:25I seem to know that name.
00:33:28Mrs. Annie Smith.
00:33:31Mrs. Tallboy has put you on to me.
00:33:34I don't think I know a Mrs. Tallboy.
00:33:37Huh?
00:33:39No, you're quite right.
00:33:40It doesn't matter.
00:33:42Do you think it's appendicitis?
00:33:45Oh, what's the address?
00:33:46Would you mind taking this down, Holmes?
00:33:511006.
00:33:52Trentonville Road.
00:33:54Yes.
00:33:55Yes, I'll come at once.
00:33:56I'll take a taxi.
00:33:57Goodbye.
00:33:58All right.
00:34:01Here's the address.
00:34:02I've added a note which I want you to read when you've found the taxi.
00:34:06What's it about?
00:34:07You read it when you've found the taxi.
00:34:09I hope your friend Mrs. Tallboy's friend is not as bad as she thinks.
00:34:22Well, what is it?
00:34:24Please, Mother says, can I have calls to the cameras?
00:34:26They've blown us our line into your back yard.
00:34:29You've no right to hang out your washing and your what-not in a respectable neighbourhood
00:34:33like this.
00:34:34Mother said, if you started carrying on about the washing, I wouldn't stand any of your lips.
00:34:39Your mother said that?
00:34:41Yes, she did.
00:34:42Well, I've never uttered impetus in all my born days.
00:34:45You go and I'll give your mother lips.
00:34:47You wait.
00:34:48Mother says, I'll take that charmer and not talk to you.
00:34:51She doesn't think you're respectful.
00:34:53What's that?
00:34:54She says it's disgraceful.
00:34:56A widow living in a house full of nothing but men.
00:34:58Oh, you wait a minute.
00:35:00I'll give a respectable.
00:35:01Go on up it.
00:35:02Go on up, you go.
00:35:03Oh, my word, respectable.
00:35:11Yes?
00:35:12Come in.
00:35:12Hello.
00:35:13Yes?
00:35:13Sir.
00:35:14Hmm?
00:35:15I'm just going to step round to that, Mrs. Springfield.
00:35:18There are two things I want to say to her.
00:35:20Yes, Mrs. Hudson.
00:35:22But what has upset you?
00:35:24Well, she just told me.
00:35:25She sent her daddy's round to say that I...
00:35:27Well, I want to mean myself the same what she did say.
00:35:30But I want her to know.
00:35:32I shall be out twenty minutes.
00:35:34Hmm?
00:35:34For that time to tell her that she's up here.
00:35:37Well, I wouldn't be too violent if I were you, Mrs. Hudson.
00:35:41Violent?
00:35:41Yes.
00:35:43Indeed, I'll set about a good and proper...
00:35:45Indeed, I would.
00:35:46...if it wasn't for my chronic...
00:35:47...and for writers.
00:35:49Yes.
00:35:49...
00:35:54...
00:36:01...
00:36:02...
00:36:02...
00:36:03...
00:36:05...
00:36:11...
00:36:18...
00:36:35...
00:36:52Come in, Professor.
00:36:59Do you think you know me, Mr. Holmes?
00:37:02Why not?
00:37:05You called upon me once before.
00:37:07On that occasion, your face was completely covered with surgical bandages.
00:37:12But your arrival coincided with the same removal of Watson and Mrs. Hudson.
00:37:18You were a little more original in your methods last time.
00:37:22Today, I recognize the symptoms.
00:37:25I was expecting you, Moriarty.
00:37:30How clever are you, Holmes?
00:37:33Yes.
00:37:35Yes.
00:37:35Won't you take off your scarf, Professor?
00:37:42Yes, perhaps you're right.
00:37:43This room is rather drafty.
00:37:45Shall we sit down?
00:37:51I'm afraid my method of getting rid of Watson and Mrs. Hudson was a trifle crew.
00:37:56But I had a sudden impulse, and anyhow it served its purpose.
00:38:00Except that our interview will be a brief one.
00:38:03Watson will have read my note in the taxi, telling him to ignore the call and come back here in
00:38:08five minutes.
00:38:09In that case, I will be brief.
00:38:14On the 4th of May 1928, you crossed my path.
00:38:21A dangerous thing to do, Holmes.
00:38:26Eight months later, to be exact, the 20th of January 1929, you incommoded me seriously.
00:38:35Yes, you made a bad slip in 1929, didn't you?
00:38:39Nearly had you, Professor.
00:38:40And now I find you so constantly in my way, that it would be better for me if you were
00:38:47removed.
00:38:50Perhaps what I have to say has already crossed your mind.
00:38:54Possibly my answer may have crossed yours.
00:38:57You stand fast?
00:38:59Absolutely.
00:39:00A great pity, Holmes.
00:39:03I have a great respect for your mentality.
00:39:07A great pity.
00:39:10You are getting in the way of a great organization.
00:39:15The full extent of which even you, with all your cleverness, cannot realize.
00:39:21You wish to put me in the dock.
00:39:25You never will.
00:39:29If you destroy me, rest assured I shall do as much for you.
00:39:36That's very interesting, Professor, but your five minutes are up.
00:39:39I fancy I hear the arrival of Watson.
00:39:44Professor, may I offer you a piece of advice?
00:39:47Never give way to sudden impulses.
00:39:51They're even more dangerous to you than I am.
00:39:56I read your note, Holmes.
00:39:58Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:39:59Did you come to see me?
00:40:02Your friend is in great danger.
00:40:11Great danger.
00:40:19What's the matter with him?
00:40:20It is the draught, Watson.
00:40:23He's feeling the draught very badly at this moment.
00:40:26Who was it?
00:40:28Well, that was Mrs. Smith of 1006 Trentonville.
00:40:33Mrs?
00:40:34Or shall we say, Professor.
00:40:37Oh, the mythical Moriarty.
00:40:40What does he look like?
00:40:41Well, I know no more than you do.
00:40:43Except that the first molar in the left side of the upper jaw is very badly filled with gold.
00:40:51Have you a mathematical mind, Watson?
00:40:55I think so, fairly.
00:40:57Well, never give way to sudden impulses.
00:41:00They're not good for mathematicians.
00:41:03Moriarty has made the worst slip he's made since January 1929.
00:41:10You mean you think you've found out how to get him?
00:41:12No. No, I found out where he gets his boots.
00:41:16We should be serious.
00:41:17The professor's boots are made by Mr. J.J. Godfrey, bootmaker.
00:41:22Yes.
00:41:23Yes, here we are.
00:41:26502 Ponce Street, Southwest 1.
00:41:30Godfrey, Ponce Street?
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:32But that's where I have mine made.
00:41:35You do surprise me.
00:41:37But Godfrey's a perfectly respectable tradesman.
00:41:40With a high-class clientele.
00:41:41Well, obviously.
00:41:43Obviously.
00:41:43You and Moriarty.
00:41:44You share a bootmaker with the professor.
00:41:48And for all I know, he may be a great friend of yours.
00:41:50Oh, very well.
00:42:02Does, uh...
00:42:03Does Mr. Godfrey make his boots on the premises?
00:42:07Yes.
00:42:08In the basement.
00:42:10Hmm.
00:42:10He showed me over his workshop once.
00:42:12Yes.
00:42:14I think I'd like to see over that workshop.
00:42:17Hmm?
00:42:18We'll arrange with Lestrade to call there about eight o'clock tonight.
00:42:23But how can it possibly matter where Moriarty buys his boots?
00:42:28Only that this piece of brown paper,
00:42:32which was found in the store room of the bank,
00:42:35bears a piece of the label of Mr. J. J. Godfrey, bootmaker.
00:42:41Holmes, you're marvellous.
00:42:44Oh, elementary, my dear Watson.
00:42:47Elementary.
00:43:10Well, that's that.
00:43:12Now what am I to do with it?
00:43:13You will be at Down Street Cube Station at nine o'clock precisely.
00:43:17You'll take the suitcase with you.
00:43:18Oh, it's all right. There's heaps of time.
00:43:20It isn't eight o'clock yet.
00:43:23In the main entrance, you'll see a man with a scar on his left temple.
00:43:26He will take the suitcase from you.
00:43:28Yes, sir.
00:43:29The keys.
00:43:33There it goes, sir.
00:43:36Looks a good bit of work.
00:43:37Yes, sir.
00:43:39I'm a good workman.
00:43:41Moran.
00:43:42Oh, the key's here.
00:43:44I have just been informed that Inspector Mestrade has left Scotland Yard in a powerful car with police constables number
00:43:5347, 54 and 83, all of the C Division.
00:43:58They will doubtless call for Sherlock Holmes and that great detective, Dr. Watson.
00:44:05Don't attempt to hide the suitcase.
00:44:08It would look suspicious.
00:44:10And see that everything is tidy.
00:44:13If the police detain you, I have arranged for someone else to take the suitcase.
00:44:20Don't up and then come in here, Moran.
00:44:23You heard?
00:44:24Yes, sir.
00:44:27Sir, he's going to find him.
00:44:27I'm sorry.
00:44:37Stilling out.
00:44:54It's your first clue.
00:44:54And we're going to save twowehries!
00:44:54Oh, hello.
00:44:58Put this light cut through, will you?
00:45:00All right, sir.
00:45:47Which of you is Mr. Godfrey?
00:45:50I am.
00:45:53There's my search warrant.
00:45:55Search warrant?
00:45:56Well, what are you searching for?
00:45:58You'll know when I've found it.
00:46:01Why?
00:46:02If it isn't Dr. Watson.
00:46:04Hope the last pair of shoes I made, it was satisfactory.
00:46:08I see you're wearing them now.
00:46:10Yes, quite, thanks.
00:46:11I say, Holmes.
00:46:12This does seem rather absurd.
00:46:14You know, Godfrey's made my shoes for years.
00:46:17Yes, your shoe last is in that cupboard over there now.
00:46:20Over there?
00:46:21Yes.
00:46:22I'll go and find it.
00:46:28I suppose, Godfrey, you know what we've come for.
00:46:31I haven't the slightest idea.
00:46:44Hello.
00:46:46Starting out the new branch, eh?
00:46:48Who's that?
00:46:50Yes, that's an experiment.
00:46:52Special order for a new customer.
00:46:54Thought I might as well try my hand at it.
00:46:56Glad to see you look after your work people, Godfrey.
00:47:00Oh.
00:47:02Well, I've...
00:47:03We've only got three of them.
00:47:05Hmm.
00:47:05There's Roberts and Williams and his brother here.
00:47:08Yes.
00:47:09Yes.
00:47:09Well, then you look after them.
00:47:11The place is properly ventilated.
00:47:15Ventilated?
00:47:20Oh.
00:47:22And that.
00:47:22Yes, sir.
00:47:25Yes.
00:47:32Oh, yes.
00:47:33A ventilator.
00:47:36Yes.
00:47:45Where's that door lead?
00:47:48To the area.
00:47:50But, eh, as you can see, it hasn't been open for years.
00:47:53Well, I should like you to open it.
00:47:55Heaven only knows where the key is.
00:47:58That door hasn't been open since I...
00:47:59I don't know when.
00:48:01Oh.
00:48:06Godfrey, this is a curious-looking...
00:48:08What are you using for?
00:48:09It's used for special work.
00:48:12Oh.
00:48:18So, you wanted to know what I was looking for, Godfrey.
00:48:22Well, you know now.
00:48:24I was looking for a press that made perfect Bank of England notes.
00:48:29Take them all away.
00:48:36What are you doing?
00:48:38Break.
00:48:39Follow this wire, let's go.
00:48:40What for?
00:48:41Yes.
00:48:47Oh, quick, go straight.
00:48:48Help me get this door down.
00:48:53One more.
00:48:57Dad.
00:48:57Dad.
00:48:58Dad.
00:49:22Oh, have another drink, my dear Watson.
00:49:24Hey, you'll feel bitter.
00:49:25Thanks, I'm all right.
00:49:28I haven't a stretch.
00:49:30There's a bit of a shock being seized and trussed up like that.
00:49:33You saw nobody?
00:49:34Nothing.
00:49:36I was standing in the cupboard, I was standing in the cupboard, and the shelves swung round.
00:49:39I was seized from behind and blindfolded.
00:49:41Well, anyway, we've done a good night's work.
00:49:44My theory of the bank robbery is proving correct.
00:49:46And what is your finding of the bank robbery, what is your finding of a bank robbery, which wasn't a
00:49:53robbery at all?
00:49:54Well, I'll try to explain.
00:49:58Within a fortnight, the strong rooms of two banks are entered by unauthorized persons, and
00:50:03nothing is removed.
00:50:04But in each case, something is taken into the strong room.
00:50:09In the case of the Reichsbank, a cardboard box.
00:50:14In the case of the commercial, a piece of brown paper.
00:50:17Well, they wanted to take the notes away on them.
00:50:19The brown paper had been creased and folded round something.
00:50:24Well, Mr. Godfrey's printing press makes perfect Bank of England notes.
00:50:30Now, supposing they have an accomplice who gives them the numbers of the notes in stock.
00:50:35They make duplicates.
00:50:37Probably perfect duplicates if my friend Moriarty has anything to do with it.
00:50:42They change these for the real ones.
00:50:46Now, the forgeries have to arrive at the bank uncreased and spotly, hence the brown paper.
00:50:54The real ones can be taken away anyhow, stuck in the pockets, anything, and the paper discarded.
00:51:00The robbery will not be discovered until two notes of the same number arrive at the Bank
00:51:06of England.
00:51:07And the longer that event is postponed, the better.
00:51:11So what does my learned friend do?
00:51:14Well, uh, hold them up.
00:51:16No, no, my dear Watson.
00:51:17No, no.
00:51:18There's no use having 70,000 pounds worth of notes if you don't use them.
00:51:22Well, then he must start circulating.
00:51:23Well, or send them abroad.
00:51:25Ah.
00:51:25Now, that sounds difficult.
00:51:27You see, customs officials might ask questions if they opened a trunk full of Bank of England
00:51:32notes.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:33Well, how true, Watson.
00:51:34How true.
00:51:35In any case, I don't feel I've been thrust up for nothing.
00:51:38It was worth it to find that printing press.
00:51:41The printing press, my dear Watson, was valuable to get the paper.
00:51:43To get your friend, Mr. Godfrey, a term of penal servitude.
00:51:46But the really important discovery was the suitcase.
00:51:51Suitcase?
00:51:51Yes.
00:51:52You probably didn't observe that on the lid were the initials RA.
00:51:55I didn't, but what does that signify?
00:51:58Oh, Ronald Adair is leaving tomorrow morning for Paris on foreign office business.
00:52:03Well, he will have a diplomatic passport and a laissez-passe, which means that his luggage
00:52:07will not be examined.
00:52:09But...
00:52:10Oh, you...
00:52:10You can't connect him with...
00:52:13Oh, good heavens, you don't think he's one of the gans?
00:52:16Supposing Moriarty were to threaten to expose his bridge exploits.
00:52:20Well...
00:52:20How should Moriarty know?
00:52:22Well, how do I know things?
00:52:24Yes.
00:52:25What time is it, Watson?
00:52:27It's a quarter to eleven.
00:52:29Oh.
00:52:30Well, I wonder if we could get hold of Adair now.
00:52:32Oh, I forgot to tell you.
00:52:33Huh?
00:52:34Miss Adair sent a message to say that she'd missed her brother at the foreign office,
00:52:37and that she'd sent him round in the morning.
00:52:39Ah.
00:52:39Well, will you ring up now, Watson?
00:52:41Will you?
00:52:41And see if we can get hold of him right away.
00:52:43Yes, certainly.
00:52:43If I'm right, that young man is the one weak spot in Moriarty's armour.
00:52:48If I can get hold of him, Moriarty's wrong.
00:52:52He will stand in the dock tomorrow, and not long after, on the gallows.
00:53:21Who's here?
00:53:22Who are they?
00:53:37Who's here?
00:53:38Who's here?
00:53:38Yes, sir.
00:53:46Hello.
00:53:47Yes, yes, yes.
00:53:49You can't, sir.
00:53:50You can't.
00:53:51He's killed.
00:53:52Yes, I've just found him shot through the head.
00:53:59Is it usual for you to go to bed as early as 10 o'clock?
00:54:03Yes, sir.
00:54:04When there's no company.
00:54:06And you heard nothing at all?
00:54:08No, sir.
00:54:09You see, our bedrooms are all at the back of the building.
00:54:13Completely cut off from the rest of the flat.
00:54:15I see.
00:54:16Yes, sir.
00:54:17Would you send a butler to me?
00:54:19Yes, sir.
00:54:19You can go, too.
00:54:25But surely, Lestrade, considering what I've told you about the bridge party,
00:54:29it was obviously a case of suicide.
00:54:32Then where is the revolver?
00:54:33Well, he must have thrown it out of the window.
00:54:36Well, the bullet didn't penetrate the brain.
00:54:37He may have been conscious for a few seconds after the shot.
00:54:42And his fireplace shows that he'd been burning his correspondence.
00:54:45A good deal of correspondence.
00:54:47Then what about the letter he was writing?
00:54:50I can't make that up.
00:54:52The sleeping cardinal forced me to...
00:54:57I can't think what it means.
00:55:00Oh, Mr. Holmes.
00:55:03Would you care to examine the servants?
00:55:07The cook and the housemaid neither saw nor heard anything.
00:55:13No, no, no, Lestrade.
00:55:14No, no, no.
00:55:14You carry on.
00:55:15Now, I'll just amuse myself.
00:55:17And we found this on the table in front of him.
00:55:20The sleeping cardinal.
00:55:24The sleeping cardinal.
00:55:26Well, now, where have I heard that name before?
00:55:39You're the butler here?
00:55:41Yes, sir.
00:55:42Have you been with the family long?
00:55:43Three years, sir.
00:55:44Then you know their ways.
00:55:45Did anything unusual occur here this evening?
00:55:48No, sir.
00:55:49Miss Adair dined alone at home.
00:55:51And Mr. Adair came in at the quarter past nine with Colonel Henslow.
00:55:56Who is Colonel Henslow?
00:55:57Oh, he's an old friend of the family.
00:55:59He knew Ronnie Adair's father in India.
00:56:02Sir Henry Adair was Governor General of Bengal, you know.
00:56:04They used to hunt tigers together.
00:56:06Did you gather at all what they were talking about when they came in?
00:56:09Well, sir, Mr. Adair was saying,
00:56:12and you think fisher means trouble?
00:56:15That was all I heard, sir.
00:56:16How long was the colonel here?
00:56:19Barely half an hour, sir.
00:56:20Was Miss Adair with them?
00:56:22No, sir.
00:56:23She was in her room.
00:56:24Was anyone else in the flat?
00:56:26No, sir.
00:56:28You're positive that there was no one else at all?
00:56:31No, sir.
00:56:33Oh, a man came about half past nine with a new suitcase that Mr. Adair had ordered.
00:56:38What kind of a man?
00:56:41I didn't notice him particularly, sir.
00:56:43He wasn't actually inside the flat.
00:56:45He just handed me the case, and I signed for it.
00:56:48Where did the case come from?
00:56:50I really didn't notice, sir.
00:56:52I just told Mr. Adair it was here,
00:56:54and he told me to put it with the other luggage in his bedroom.
00:56:58Oh.
00:57:02Which one?
00:57:04That's the odd thing, sir.
00:57:06It isn't here.
00:57:08And I can't find it anywhere,
00:57:10so I searched the flat.
00:57:12It was quite an ordinary sort of case.
00:57:15Can't think where it could get hidden.
00:57:17But it must be somewhere.
00:57:19Unless Mr. Adair took it out.
00:57:21He didn't go out, sir.
00:57:23He went straight to his room after the colonel had left.
00:57:26Why didn't Mr. Adair come and see the colonel?
00:57:29Wasn't she friendly with him?
00:57:30Oh, yes, sir.
00:57:32She was quite friendly with him.
00:57:34Wasn't she friendly with her brother?
00:57:35They were devoted to each other.
00:57:37They was, sir.
00:57:38But there was a bit of a shindy last night, sir.
00:57:42Well, she never mentioned anything about it to me.
00:57:44No, sir.
00:57:45It was after you and the other gentlemen had left.
00:57:48I can't think it was a serious quarrel.
00:57:50I beg pardon, sir.
00:57:51It was.
00:57:52I brought in a note for Mr. Adair,
00:57:55and I don't think they heard me come in.
00:57:57What were they saying?
00:57:58Well, sir,
00:57:59Miss Adair was very excited,
00:58:00and she said,
00:58:01I'd rather put a bullet through your head
00:58:04than own a brother who...
00:58:06And then she saw me and stopped.
00:58:09Directly afterwards,
00:58:10Mr. Adair left the room.
00:58:12And tonight,
00:58:13how did you know he'd been killed?
00:58:15The phone bell was ringing in this room,
00:58:18which was locked,
00:58:19and I got no answer to my knocking.
00:58:21What did you do?
00:58:22I broke down the door.
00:58:24And then I found Mr. Adair in that chair,
00:58:27lying across the table,
00:58:29dead,
00:58:30and the window open.
00:58:31How long had he been in his room?
00:58:33About half an hour, sir.
00:58:34And you heard nothing?
00:58:36Not a sound, sir.
00:58:37And I was in my pantry,
00:58:38which is on this side of the flat.
00:58:41Thank you, master.
00:58:42Would you ask Mr. Adair to come here?
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:45I think if I were you,
00:58:46I should see Colonel Henslow first.
00:58:49I understand he's with Mr. Adair.
00:58:52And after all,
00:58:53he was the last person to see Adair alive.
00:58:55Yes.
00:58:56Will you ask the colonel to come here?
00:58:58Very good, sir.
00:59:03Well,
00:59:05that disposes of your suicide theory.
00:59:08What do you mean?
00:59:10You're not suggesting that Miss Adair...
00:59:12At any rate, she threatened.
00:59:13But the door was locked on the inside.
00:59:18Ah, Colonel.
00:59:20I don't think you know Inspector Lestrade
00:59:22and my friend, Sherlock Holmes.
00:59:25Delighted to meet two such famous people.
00:59:28I also am delighted to meet
00:59:30such a distinguished big game hunter.
00:59:32Oh, my hunting days are over.
00:59:36Yes.
00:59:37Yes.
00:59:37There must be a great trial to you,
00:59:39of all people.
00:59:41Was it the war?
00:59:42No.
00:59:43A tiger mauled my arm.
00:59:46It turned septic
00:59:47and had to be taken off at the shoulder.
00:59:50I'm lucky to be alive at all.
00:59:53I'm immensely ignorant about tiger hunting.
00:59:55Tell me,
00:59:56you go out on elephants with beaters,
00:59:59don't you?
00:59:59Pardon me, Mr. Holmes,
01:00:01but I must ask the colonel a few questions.
01:00:03It's all right, Lestrade.
01:00:05Just a minute.
01:00:05I'm very interested in tiger hunting.
01:00:08Well,
01:00:08elephants and beaters are used
01:00:11when royalty and rajahs hunt tigers.
01:00:14But they're expensive.
01:00:17Oh, very.
01:00:19You can always tether a goat
01:00:21and wait till the tiger comes for it.
01:00:25Really, Mr. Holmes,
01:00:26I'm pressed for time
01:00:28and I must ask the colonel a few questions.
01:00:30Well, fire ahead, Lestrade.
01:00:32Fire ahead.
01:00:33You were the last to see the deceased alive.
01:00:35Yes.
01:00:37He's been very nervous since last night.
01:00:39He came round this evening
01:00:41and asked me to come back with him for a chat.
01:00:44I suppose you all know
01:00:46what's happened at the bridge party.
01:00:48Yes.
01:00:50One of the players looked like being unpleasant
01:00:53and Adair wanted my advice.
01:00:55And what was your advice?
01:00:57To do nothing at all.
01:00:59Even if you were true,
01:01:01nobody could prove it.
01:01:03And he was less worried when you left?
01:01:04I think he was.
01:01:06A little.
01:01:07I understand.
01:01:08The new suitcase was brought to the house last night.
01:01:11Were you there when it arrived?
01:01:13I believe so.
01:01:15I never saw it.
01:01:16But I heard Ronnie tell Marsden
01:01:19to take it into his bedroom.
01:01:20What time did you leave?
01:01:22About a quarter to ten.
01:01:26And within three quarters of an hour,
01:01:28he was found dead.
01:01:29Surely it's obvious he shot himself.
01:01:31I disagree, my dear Watson.
01:01:35He was murdered.
01:01:37Of course.
01:01:37You don't really think so.
01:01:40Yes, my dear Colonel.
01:01:43I'm certain of it.
01:01:45And what is more,
01:01:46I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear
01:01:48that within 24 hours,
01:01:50I shall not only be in a position to prove it,
01:01:53but I shall have the murderer
01:01:55under lock and key.
01:01:57I'm delighted to hear it.
01:02:00Not that it can bring the poor lad back.
01:02:03You know,
01:02:05Ronnie, with all his faults,
01:02:06was extraordinarily lovable.
01:02:10I feel rather as if I had lost a son.
01:02:13Thank you, Colonel Hensville.
01:02:14I shan't need you anymore.
01:02:17Would you mind asking Mr. Dare
01:02:19to come to me a moment?
01:02:21Certainly.
01:02:22Goodbye, Mr. Holmes.
01:02:25Goodbye, Colonel.
01:02:32I'm sorry I interrupted you, Mr. Holmes,
01:02:35but you seemed so interested in tigers
01:02:37that I thought you were never going to stop.
01:02:38They interest me.
01:02:41A stark ferocity.
01:02:43A cold cruelty.
01:02:46They're human beings,
01:02:47rather like tigers, you know.
01:02:49Now I suppose you're back
01:02:51to your Moriarty theory.
01:02:52You're not going to try and tell me
01:02:54that this is his handiwork?
01:02:55Well, who knows?
01:02:56Ha!
01:02:58That man has become an obsession with him.
01:03:00He is?
01:03:03He is.
01:03:08Mr. Dare,
01:03:10I want to offer you
01:03:11my very sincere sympathy.
01:03:16It was a ghastly shock to me.
01:03:18I can imagine
01:03:19what it must have been to you.
01:03:22I won't keep you a minute, Mr. Dare.
01:03:25Won't you sit down?
01:03:31When did you last see your brother?
01:03:34At half past six.
01:03:36He came in to dress
01:03:37and I came in here
01:03:38to give him a message.
01:03:39What was the message?
01:03:40I told him that Mr. Holmes
01:03:42wanted to see him
01:03:42before he went to Paris.
01:03:44You see,
01:03:45I had asked Mr. Holmes
01:03:46to interview him.
01:03:47What did he say?
01:03:48He was upset.
01:03:50In fact,
01:03:51we had rather a quarrel about it.
01:03:52Another quarrel?
01:03:53You had one the night before.
01:03:56Yes,
01:03:57but this was not so serious.
01:03:59He was merely annoyed
01:04:00that I had spoken to Mr. Holmes.
01:04:02He was very annoyed?
01:04:03Well, rather.
01:04:05He seemed more frightened
01:04:07than annoyed.
01:04:09I couldn't understand.
01:04:11And so you quarreled again?
01:04:12Well, yes.
01:04:14He said I had no business
01:04:16to interfere in his affairs.
01:04:17And did you again threaten
01:04:19to shoot him?
01:04:23Shoot him?
01:04:25What does that mean?
01:04:26The night before,
01:04:28your butler heard you
01:04:29threatening him.
01:04:31Oh, no.
01:04:32I never did anything
01:04:34of the kind.
01:04:36I?
01:04:36Shoot Ronnie.
01:04:37You said
01:04:38you would rather
01:04:40put a bullet through his head
01:04:41than own a brother who...
01:04:43Oh, that was only
01:04:44a figure of speech.
01:04:46I was accusing him
01:04:47of something.
01:04:47The most unfortunate
01:04:48figure of speech,
01:04:50considering that
01:04:51within 24 hours
01:04:52he was found
01:04:53with a bullet
01:04:54through his head.
01:04:55But you don't think
01:04:56that I...
01:04:57No, miss.
01:04:58But I must ask you
01:04:59to come along with me
01:05:00after I've finished
01:05:01my investigation.
01:05:01I say, Lestrade.
01:05:03This is grotesque.
01:05:04Holmes, listen.
01:05:06Here's Lestrade
01:05:06suggesting that
01:05:07Mr. Dere...
01:05:08Oh, Dr. Watson,
01:05:09I did it.
01:05:10All I want is her
01:05:11to come along
01:05:11and make a statement.
01:05:12I'm sure Mr. Dere
01:05:14will be delighted
01:05:15to go with you,
01:05:16Lestrade.
01:05:17It is quite a warm night.
01:05:19Anything you say,
01:05:20of course.
01:05:21Thanks, miss.
01:05:22I shall be ready
01:05:23in a minute.
01:05:24Then I'll go
01:05:25and put on my things
01:05:26if you have
01:05:27no more questions.
01:05:28No, nothing else, thanks.
01:05:37This is outrageous.
01:05:40Well, Mr. Harriman,
01:05:41what do you think?
01:05:43It's really remarkable
01:05:45how many varieties
01:05:47of trees there are
01:05:48in these London parks.
01:05:50Have you ever noticed
01:05:51what remarkably fine
01:05:52specimens are?
01:05:53Really, Mr. Holmes,
01:05:54you're a most
01:05:55extraordinary man.
01:05:56In the middle
01:05:57of an investigation
01:05:58like this,
01:05:59you begin talking
01:06:00about trees.
01:06:01Holmes,
01:06:02you've heard Lestrade's
01:06:04ghastly accusation.
01:06:05Surely it was suicide.
01:06:07He burned his
01:06:08correspondence.
01:06:11I don't think he did.
01:06:13These are the ashes
01:06:15of, I should say,
01:06:17at least a dozen
01:06:18packs of playing cards
01:06:20because he was afraid
01:06:21Fisher was going
01:06:22to expose him.
01:06:24My dear Watson,
01:06:25as I've already told you,
01:06:27this was murder
01:06:27and it was committed
01:06:29from outside this room.
01:06:31What?
01:06:32Shot through the keyhole?
01:06:35Ronald Adair burnt
01:06:37those playing cards
01:06:38and they caused
01:06:38a great deal
01:06:39of smoke.
01:06:42He opened the window
01:06:43and sat down
01:06:45to write
01:06:45that confession.
01:06:47And the moment
01:06:48he sat down,
01:06:49he was shocked
01:06:50from outside.
01:06:52But how?
01:06:57From this height,
01:06:58you can hardly
01:06:59see the street.
01:07:00He would have had
01:07:01to have been
01:07:02hanging out
01:07:02of the window.
01:07:03And he wasn't.
01:07:04He was sitting
01:07:06in that chair.
01:07:07And you are suggesting
01:07:09that somebody
01:07:10stood in the middle
01:07:11of Park Lane
01:07:12between ten and a half past
01:07:14and fired a rifle?
01:07:16There had to have been
01:07:17a rifle to carry
01:07:17as far as this.
01:07:19And that nobody
01:07:20saw or heard anything?
01:07:22Though there must have
01:07:23been hundreds
01:07:24of passers-by.
01:07:25Yes, passers-by
01:07:26there undoubtedly were.
01:07:27But as you've
01:07:28doubtless already
01:07:29had to say,
01:07:29there were no police
01:07:31about.
01:07:31I beg your pardon,
01:07:32Mr. Holmes?
01:07:33There are always
01:07:34police about.
01:07:35There were a couple
01:07:36on point duty.
01:07:37It's turn up gate.
01:07:38I find on inquiry
01:07:40that three separate
01:07:41disturbances occurred
01:07:43at precisely
01:07:4310-15
01:07:44in this neighbourhood
01:07:46tonight.
01:07:47A lot of rucks
01:07:49were not accustomed
01:07:49to frequent
01:07:50the public house
01:07:51round the corner,
01:07:53refused to leave
01:07:54and were ejected
01:07:55by the police.
01:07:55a young woman
01:07:57drove a car
01:07:58into a lorry
01:07:59about a hundred
01:07:59yards up the road
01:08:00and there was
01:08:01a false alarm
01:08:02of fire
01:08:03in Harford Street.
01:08:05It's curious
01:08:06that all these things
01:08:08should have been
01:08:09absolutely simultaneous.
01:08:11But even supposing
01:08:12the police
01:08:13were occupied,
01:08:14you can't stand
01:08:15and fire a rifle
01:08:17into a park lane
01:08:18window
01:08:18without somebody
01:08:20having seen
01:08:21and heard
01:08:21something.
01:08:24How true.
01:08:28Do you know
01:08:29a hornbeam
01:08:30when you see one?
01:08:31A hornbeam?
01:08:33There are some
01:08:34remarkably fine
01:08:35specimens
01:08:36in the park.
01:08:37What is a hornbeam?
01:08:39The Latin name
01:08:40is Carpillus.
01:08:42They're common
01:08:43in the temperate
01:08:43zones of Asia
01:08:44and some parts
01:08:45of southern England.
01:08:46It looks like
01:08:47a beach
01:08:48but it isn't.
01:08:54You know
01:08:55Dr. Watson
01:08:56in spite of the fact
01:08:58that I've known
01:08:58Holmes for some years
01:09:01I sometimes
01:09:02wonder if he's
01:09:03all there.
01:09:12Put this in your mouth
01:09:13for a few minutes.
01:09:14Huh?
01:09:15What do you want for?
01:09:16I don't think
01:09:16you're at all well.
01:09:17Oh nonsense
01:09:18my dear Watson
01:09:19nonsense
01:09:19I'm in the very
01:09:19best of health.
01:09:20In spite of a couple
01:09:21of nasty shocks.
01:09:23When did you have
01:09:23a shock?
01:09:24I said two.
01:09:26During the stroll
01:09:27I took this afternoon
01:09:28I was just going
01:09:29to cross the
01:09:29Mary Le Bon Road.
01:09:31The policeman
01:09:32on point duty
01:09:32was holding up
01:09:33the traffic.
01:09:34When a two horse
01:09:35van apparently
01:09:36out of control
01:09:37whizzed around
01:09:38the corner
01:09:38and was on me
01:09:39in a flash.
01:09:40I strangled the pavement
01:09:41and saved myself
01:09:42by the fraction
01:09:43of a second.
01:09:44Good heavens.
01:09:45Gee.
01:09:45Ten minutes later
01:09:46a brick fell
01:09:47from the roof
01:09:48of the house
01:09:48that was shattered
01:09:49at my feet.
01:09:51They were repairing
01:09:52the roof at the time
01:09:53but the police
01:09:54proved it was
01:09:54an accident.
01:09:56I know better.
01:09:57Very nasty indeed.
01:09:59But these things
01:10:00happened this afternoon.
01:10:01I was worrying about you
01:10:03in the early hours
01:10:03of the morning.
01:10:04What did I do?
01:10:05Do?
01:10:06In the middle
01:10:07of a terribly
01:10:08serious conversation
01:10:09you started talking
01:10:11about trees
01:10:11in the park
01:10:12and the difference
01:10:13between a hornbeam
01:10:14and a beach
01:10:15altogether disconnected
01:10:16and I thought
01:10:17a little delirious.
01:10:18Yes.
01:10:19I did ramble
01:10:20a bit didn't I?
01:10:21And I'm sorry
01:10:22you made
01:10:22what Lestrade called
01:10:23a bombastic statement
01:10:24that within 24 hours
01:10:2612 of which
01:10:27by the way
01:10:27have already gone
01:10:28you would have
01:10:29the murderer.
01:10:30It wasn't at all
01:10:31like you Holmes.
01:10:32No.
01:10:33It did look
01:10:34as if I was
01:10:34very ill
01:10:35didn't it?
01:10:36It gives Lestrade
01:10:37such a chance
01:10:37to crow.
01:10:38He thinks
01:10:39he's done a frightful lot
01:10:40and knew nothing.
01:10:41He's disposed
01:10:42of my suicide theory
01:10:43and made an arrest.
01:10:45Who?
01:10:46I wonder
01:10:47he hasn't arrested you
01:10:48or Mrs. Hudson.
01:10:49And he never
01:10:50stops talking
01:10:51about this mythical
01:10:51Moriarty.
01:10:52Now listen
01:10:53my dear Watson
01:10:57I have established
01:10:59to my own
01:10:59satisfaction
01:11:00that in both
01:11:02the Reichbank
01:11:02and the commercial
01:11:04bank cases
01:11:04forged notes
01:11:05were substituted
01:11:07for real ones.
01:11:08No.
01:11:09I have also
01:11:10established
01:11:10to my own
01:11:11satisfaction
01:11:12and through
01:11:13the missing
01:11:13suitcase
01:11:14that Ronald Adair
01:11:16was to have
01:11:16taken those
01:11:17English notes
01:11:17to Paris
01:11:18and the same
01:11:19brain that
01:11:20planned that
01:11:21scheme
01:11:22planned the
01:11:23removal
01:11:24of Ronald Adair.
01:11:25But why
01:11:25should they
01:11:26remove their
01:11:26means of getting
01:11:27the notes
01:11:27safely out of
01:11:28the country?
01:11:28because Ronald Adair
01:11:30refused at the
01:11:30last minute.
01:11:31Why should he?
01:11:33He was still
01:11:33open to exposure
01:11:34as a cheat.
01:11:35That's what
01:11:35frightened him.
01:11:36Yes.
01:11:36But I frightened
01:11:37him still more.
01:11:40When his sister
01:11:41told him that
01:11:41I wanted to see him
01:11:42he was panic
01:11:43stricken.
01:11:43He realized
01:11:44that his cheating
01:11:45could only result
01:11:46in scandal.
01:11:47The other
01:11:47meant certain
01:11:48jail.
01:11:49I see.
01:11:51What did you
01:11:52make of that
01:11:52letter he was
01:11:53writing about
01:11:53the sleeping
01:11:54cardinal?
01:11:55Now that
01:11:56my dear Watson
01:11:57is the most
01:11:58significant
01:11:59aspect of
01:12:00the case.
01:12:01Do you
01:12:02remember
01:12:03eight months
01:12:04ago when
01:12:05Trimble the
01:12:05forger was
01:12:07found on the
01:12:07embankment
01:12:08dying from
01:12:09terrible injuries?
01:12:12He
01:12:13uh
01:12:14Yes?
01:12:18Yes?
01:12:24Yes.
01:12:26Yes.
01:12:27Yes,
01:12:27now we
01:12:27mustn't forget
01:12:28your appointment.
01:12:29Appointment?
01:12:31Yes,
01:12:31it's necessary
01:12:32for me to
01:12:33remain alone
01:12:33a little while.
01:12:35So you,
01:12:36my dear Watson,
01:12:36are going to
01:12:37Euston.
01:12:38Euston?
01:12:39Whatever for?
01:12:44Sorry.
01:12:56What's the
01:12:57idea?
01:12:58You'll see.
01:13:17You're going
01:13:18to have a
01:13:18busy night.
01:13:19Now I want
01:13:20you to put

01:13:21and hat,

01:13:22suitcase,
01:13:23you needn't
01:13:24pack anything,
01:13:25get a taxi
01:13:26and make
01:13:26a great fuss
01:13:27about getting
01:13:27it.
01:13:28Call Euston
01:13:29to the
01:13:29driver and
01:13:30tell him
01:13:31if he doesn't
01:13:31hurry you'll
01:13:32miss the
01:13:32Scotch Express.
01:13:33The Scotch
01:13:34Express?
01:13:34Yes.
01:13:36You'll be
01:13:37followed.
01:13:38The moment
01:13:39you get to
01:13:39Euston,
01:13:40pay off the
01:13:40taxi and
01:13:42rush round
01:13:42to the
01:13:43booking
01:13:43office.

01:14:22Die in
01:14:23sentence
01:14:23and we
01:15:42Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
01:15:44Once again, you've proved yourself far above ordinary women.
01:15:48Well, Mr. Holmes, I did as you told me to.
01:15:50I moved the statue every few minutes,
01:15:52when suddenly the old blooming thing falls on top of me.
01:15:56Yes, but you've done very well, Mrs. Hudson.
01:15:58Very well.
01:16:01Let's see.
01:16:02Bring in the prisoner.
01:16:12Oh, may I see that, Let's see.
01:16:14Take that.
01:16:15That's an admirable and unique weapon.
01:16:17Absolutely noisily and of tremendous power.
01:16:21Crikey.
01:16:22I knew von Herder, the German mechanic who constructed it to the order of Professor Moriarty.
01:16:27I've known of its existence for some time, but I've never handled it before.
01:16:31Ah, Watson.
01:16:33I've just been murdered.
01:16:35Yes.
01:16:36Perhaps you'd like to see who my assailant is.
01:16:40As I've thought.
01:16:42But Holmes.
01:16:43That's Colonel Henslow.
01:16:46And what are you charging me with?
01:16:48Why, for the attempted murder of Sherlock Holmes, of course.
01:16:51No, no, no, Mr. Henslow.
01:16:52I shall not appear in this.
01:16:54To you.
01:16:55And you alone belongs the credit for this remarkable arrest.
01:16:59With your usual happy mixture of cunning and audacity, you've got him.
01:17:05Got him?
01:17:06Got whom?
01:17:07The man who climbed the tree in the park last night.
01:17:10A hornbeam, to be correct.
01:17:12And shot Ronald Adair through the open window of its flat in Park Lane.
01:17:16Has it occurred to you, Mr. Holmes,
01:17:18that it must be rather difficult to climb a tree and shoot anyone,
01:17:23when one only has one arm?
01:17:25Ah, yes, yes.
01:17:26I've forgotten.
01:17:27Your left arm must be causing you great inconvenience.
01:17:30Mr. Henslow, I wonder if you'd be good enough to free it for the Colonel.
01:17:33Hello.
01:17:34What's the game?
01:17:38Let me introduce you to Professor Robert Moriarty.
01:17:42The mythical Moriarty.
01:17:44My obsession.
01:17:46Hmm.
01:17:47I warned you when you called upon me yesterday that certain impulses were dangerous.
01:17:52I observed that the first molar in your left upper jaw was very badly filled with gold.
01:17:58And when Colonel Henslow was feeling as if he'd lost the sun,
01:18:01I observed the same bad workmanship in the same tune.
01:18:05You clever, cunning swine.
01:18:08You think you've got me in your safe.
01:18:10But you're up against an organization, Holmes.
01:18:13They'll get you.
01:18:15They'll destroy you.
01:18:17Hmm.
01:18:18I might even do it myself.
01:18:21Ah!
01:18:24Oh, God.
01:18:25Oh, God.
01:18:26Oh, God.
01:18:29Take him to a treat and request.
01:18:31Yes.
01:18:32I think you'll find most of your organization waiting for you there.
01:18:36And also a brand new seating, 70,000 pounds of good English bank milk.
01:18:41Take him away.
01:18:42We shall meet again, Mr. Holmes.
01:18:44The next time.
01:18:45Come on.
01:18:50You all right.
01:18:54I am, except my seating and my style, which is entirely disorganized.
01:18:59Well, we've proved our Moriarty's theory all right, Mr. Holmes.
01:19:03Hmm.
01:19:05It's not easy to throw dust in your eyes, my dear Lister.
01:19:09Doesn't do to try for the Scotland Yard.
01:19:12Quite true, Mr. Holmes.
01:19:14Quite true.
01:19:16Well, now, Watson, what about a drink?
01:19:17Hmm.
01:19:20You'd like one, wouldn't you?
01:19:21Thanks.
01:19:22Yes, sir.
01:19:30I can't think how you managed to discover these things, Holmes.
01:19:33I saw nothing that could have put you on the track of the murderer.
01:19:36I'm a contrary, dear Watson.
01:19:37You've seen everything.
01:19:39Except the tree, which I told you about,
01:19:42but you were unable to make the necessary deductions.
01:19:46I knew about the existence of that air gun.
01:19:49I found evidence that the tree opposite the flat had been climbed.
01:19:54By issuing a threat in front of Colonel Hensler,
01:19:57I made certain that during the 24 hours,
01:19:59he tried to silence me, and he silenced a dare.
01:20:04Hence your little trip to Houston, Doctor.
01:20:07And by placing a bust of myself in the window,
01:20:09which Mrs. Hudson moved occasionally to make it a clear lifelike.
01:20:13I knew that Moriarty couldn't resist such an opportunity.
01:20:17But what gave you the idea, Mr. Holmes?
01:20:20Eh?
01:20:20Oh, Colonel Hensler himself.
01:20:22Yes, in the conversation I had with him,
01:20:25the irrelevant one about tigers, Watson.
01:20:27You can always tether a goat as a bait
01:20:30and wait till the tiger comes.
01:20:33Of course.
01:20:34But what about the sleeping commode?
01:20:40Eh, Godfrey's made a stake in the sleeping cabin.
01:20:44That's the painting of the ribbon
01:20:45which you were tied up, Watson.
01:20:47And so which Moriarty used to speak unseen by his duke.
01:20:51And only one regret,
01:20:54that the bust of myself by Angelo Palestini
01:20:56has been irretrievably ruined.
01:21:18What?
01:21:18Oh, my gosh.
01:21:22I love you.
