Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:11,363 --> 00:01:12,865
Come here, lad.
2
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:28,589
What are you doing on my property?
3
00:01:28,714 --> 00:01:29,840
I've come to claim back
4
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,675
what's rightfully mine, sir.
5
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,343
That thieving young rascal
6
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:35,053
made off with some horseshoes
7
00:01:35,179 --> 00:01:36,930
and a bag of nails from my smithy.
8
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:47,399
Where is your proof?
9
00:01:47,524 --> 00:01:50,819
The proof is, I'll find them there.
10
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,196
Now, I don't want to be forced
11
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:56,450
to call the police.
12
00:01:56,575 --> 00:01:59,578
These people are guests of mine,
13
00:01:59,703 --> 00:02:04,416
but you are trespassing, Mr. Thorn.
14
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:08,045
I'm not afraid of you, Doctor.
15
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:10,464
Get off my land!
16
00:02:41,036 --> 00:02:42,496
Please, come back soon.
17
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:44,206
My dear, there is nothing
18
00:02:44,331 --> 00:02:46,250
whatever to worry about.
19
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:50,504
We should be married in a few weeks.
20
00:02:50,629 --> 00:02:54,216
I'm just on my way back to London.
21
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:57,261
Goodbye, sir, and thank you
22
00:02:57,344 --> 00:02:59,930
for a most pleasant weekend.
23
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,515
I mean to improve my game of chess
24
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,142
before my next visit.
25
00:03:04,268 --> 00:03:06,478
Oh, yes, I see.
26
00:03:06,562 --> 00:03:08,856
You weren't an unworthy opponent.
27
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:13,861
Thank you, sir.
28
00:03:13,986 --> 00:03:17,155
I'm just seeing Percy down to
the gates, Father.
29
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:18,365
Heh.
30
00:03:29,626 --> 00:03:32,504
Drive on and wait for me
by the gate, will you.
31
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:57,154
The fellow was trespassing,
32
00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:01,533
he had a dunking, and that is all.
33
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:04,203
Father, I cannot believe that
Thorn would deliberate -
34
00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:07,122
Dammit, woman,
35
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:11,877
are you part of the conspiracy
against me, too?
36
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:23,305
No, Father, I live here.
37
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:27,226
Not for much longer, eh,
38
00:04:27,309 --> 00:04:32,064
once you marry that fellow Armitage.
39
00:05:02,344 --> 00:05:05,639
Yes, what is it?
40
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:10,561
Father, what has happened
to my room?
41
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:12,938
The builders found a fault
in the structure,
42
00:05:13,063 --> 00:05:14,314
better sleep in your sister's room
43
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,317
till they've finished working on it.
44
00:05:17,442 --> 00:05:22,739
Julia's room, I can't sleep in there.
45
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:25,617
Why not, Pray?
46
00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:27,786
I can't.
47
00:05:27,911 --> 00:05:29,246
What is the matter,
48
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:30,998
it's a perfectly good room.
49
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:32,457
I've instructed the housekeeper
to prepare it for you.
50
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:36,086
Now run along, your baggage,
and goodnight.
51
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:55,541
Hello there young beauty,
good night, good night.
52
00:07:56,935 --> 00:07:59,229
I'm very sorry, Watson,
53
00:07:59,313 --> 00:08:03,567
but it seems to be
the common lot this morning.
54
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:05,277
What?
55
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,821
Mrs. Hudson has been roused,
56
00:08:07,905 --> 00:08:11,033
she retorted on me, and I on you.
57
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:14,161
But it's only a quarter past seven,
58
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:16,455
what is it, a fire?
59
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:19,791
No, No, a client.
60
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:24,713
This will take a moment to draw, sir.
61
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,799
But only a moment,
Mrs. Hudson is a mistress
62
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:30,427
of the art of fire lighting.
63
00:08:30,511 --> 00:08:32,554
Ah, this is my intimate friend
64
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,473
and associate, Dr. Watson,
65
00:08:34,556 --> 00:08:38,435
before whom you may speak
as freely as before myself.
66
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:40,270
How do you do?
67
00:08:40,354 --> 00:08:41,730
Mrs. Hudson, do you think you could
68
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:44,149
bring this young lady
a hot cup of coffee,
69
00:08:44,233 --> 00:08:48,195
for I observed you are shivering.
70
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,657
It is not cold which makes me shiver.
71
00:08:51,782 --> 00:08:55,244
What, then?
72
00:08:55,369 --> 00:08:58,497
It is fear, Mr. Holmes.
73
00:08:58,622 --> 00:09:00,999
It is terror.
74
00:09:01,124 --> 00:09:02,501
You must not fear,
75
00:09:02,626 --> 00:09:04,002
we shall set matters right,
76
00:09:04,086 --> 00:09:08,048
have no doubt.
77
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:11,844
You have come by train, I see,
this morning.
78
00:09:11,969 --> 00:09:13,470
You know me, then?
79
00:09:13,554 --> 00:09:16,181
No, but I observed the second half
of a return ticket
80
00:09:16,265 --> 00:09:19,518
in the palm of your left glove.
81
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:22,062
You started early, but you had a drive
82
00:09:22,187 --> 00:09:24,314
in a dog-cart, along heavy roads,
83
00:09:24,398 --> 00:09:27,067
before you reached the station.
84
00:09:27,192 --> 00:09:29,027
There is no mystery, my dear lady,
85
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:30,737
the left arm of your jacket
86
00:09:30,863 --> 00:09:32,281
is spattered with mud
87
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:34,116
in no less than seven places,
88
00:09:34,241 --> 00:09:36,034
the marks are fresh.
89
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:37,578
There is no vehicle
90
00:09:37,661 --> 00:09:39,663
save a dog-cart which throws up mud
91
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:41,415
in that particular way,
92
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:43,417
and then only when you sit on
93
00:09:43,542 --> 00:09:46,044
the left-hand side of the driver.
94
00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:48,213
You are perfectly correct.
95
00:09:48,338 --> 00:09:50,549
Sir, I can stand the strain no longer;
96
00:09:50,674 --> 00:09:54,761
I shall go mad if it continues.
97
00:09:54,887 --> 00:09:57,264
I have heard of you from Mrs. Farintosh,
98
00:09:57,389 --> 00:10:01,143
whom you helped
in the hour of her sore need.
99
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:04,271
Farintosh.
100
00:10:12,404 --> 00:10:14,031
My dear Helen,
101
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:15,616
it is difficult for me to advise you
102
00:10:15,741 --> 00:10:17,534
since you present so few facts,
103
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:18,994
but I know you to be a sensible girl,
104
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:20,495
not prone to hysterics.
105
00:10:20,621 --> 00:10:23,790
I was one of your poor,
dear mother's oldest friends.
106
00:10:23,916 --> 00:10:27,377
I can only suggest that
if your fears persist,
107
00:10:27,503 --> 00:10:31,757
you should contact
Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
108
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,094
221B Baker Street.
109
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:40,599
Farintosh, oh, yes,
I do remember the case.
110
00:10:40,724 --> 00:10:42,226
It concerned an opal tiara.
111
00:10:42,309 --> 00:10:45,479
I think it was before your time, Watson.
112
00:10:45,604 --> 00:10:48,565
Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
113
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:51,276
Sir, do you not think
you could help me, too?
114
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,487
At present it is out of my power
to reward you,
115
00:10:53,612 --> 00:10:55,364
but in a few weeks I should be married
116
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:57,366
with control of my own income.
117
00:10:57,491 --> 00:10:59,493
I shall be happy to
devote the same care
118
00:10:59,618 --> 00:11:02,746
to your case as to that of your friend.
119
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:04,456
As to reward my profession
120
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:06,583
is its own reward;
121
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:08,252
but you are at liberty to defray
122
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:11,088
whatever expenses I may be
put to at the time
123
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:12,673
which suits you best.
124
00:11:12,756 --> 00:11:15,843
And now I beg you,
lay everything before us
125
00:11:15,968 --> 00:11:20,430
which may help us form
an opinion upon this matter.
126
00:11:20,556 --> 00:11:24,142
My name is Helen Stoner.
127
00:11:24,226 --> 00:11:25,853
I live with my stepfather,
128
00:11:25,978 --> 00:11:27,646
Dr. Grimesby Roylott,
129
00:11:27,729 --> 00:11:29,982
who is the last survivor of
one of the oldest
130
00:11:30,107 --> 00:11:31,567
Saxon families in England.
131
00:11:31,692 --> 00:11:33,151
The Roylotts of Stoke Moran,
132
00:11:33,277 --> 00:11:35,237
the name is familiar to me.
133
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:37,322
He is a doctor by profession,
134
00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:39,157
a skilled one.
135
00:11:39,283 --> 00:11:41,493
For some years he had a
large and flourishing practice
136
00:11:41,618 --> 00:11:43,745
in India, in Calcutta.
137
00:11:43,871 --> 00:11:45,831
Ah.
138
00:11:45,914 --> 00:11:49,668
Dr. Watson has also practiced
medicine in India.
139
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:54,590
Yes, attached to the Fifth
Northumberland Fusiliers.
140
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:56,925
Pray continue, Miss Stoner.
141
00:11:57,050 --> 00:12:00,721
In Calcutta, he married my mother.
142
00:12:00,846 --> 00:12:05,517
She was the young widow of Major
mother's remarriage,
143
00:12:08,645 --> 00:12:11,857
and my sister, Julia,
was five years older.
144
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:15,360
Our mother had a considerable
sum of money -
145
00:12:15,444 --> 00:12:17,279
not less than a thousand a year -
146
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:19,740
and this she bequeathed to
Dr. Roylott entirely
147
00:12:19,865 --> 00:12:21,575
while we resided with him.
148
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:25,162
Forgive me,
your mother has passed on?
149
00:12:25,287 --> 00:12:27,331
Shortly after our return to England,
150
00:12:27,414 --> 00:12:30,042
she was killed
151
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:34,546
in a railway accident near Crewe.
152
00:12:34,630 --> 00:12:36,507
My stepfather then
abandoned his attempts
153
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:38,884
to establish himself in
practice in London
154
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:41,053
and took us to live
in his ancestral house
155
00:12:41,178 --> 00:12:42,304
at Stoke Moran.
156
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:43,680
But the money your mother left you
157
00:12:43,764 --> 00:12:45,390
was enough for all your wants,
158
00:12:45,516 --> 00:12:48,101
so that was no obstacle
to your happiness?
159
00:12:48,227 --> 00:12:52,189
A terrible change came over
my stepfather,
160
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:54,024
instead of making friends and
exchanging visits
161
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:55,776
with our neighbors,
162
00:12:55,901 --> 00:12:57,110
who at first were overjoyed
163
00:12:57,236 --> 00:12:59,905
to see a Roylott back
in the family seat,
164
00:13:00,030 --> 00:13:01,698
he shut himself up in the house
165
00:13:01,782 --> 00:13:03,700
and indulged in ferocious quarrels.
166
00:13:03,784 --> 00:13:06,078
At times it was and still is
hard to keep him out
167
00:13:06,203 --> 00:13:08,121
of the police courts.
168
00:13:08,247 --> 00:13:09,873
He's become the terror of the village.
169
00:13:09,957 --> 00:13:11,458
Does he permit any visitors?
170
00:13:11,542 --> 00:13:16,588
No, except my fianc� and
some wandering gypsies.
171
00:13:16,713 --> 00:13:18,090
Gypsies?
172
00:13:18,215 --> 00:13:20,092
Vagabonds, whom he has given leave
173
00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:22,719
to encamp on his land.
174
00:13:22,845 --> 00:13:27,015
Sometimes he goes away with them
for days at a time.
175
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:29,434
You can imagine from what I'm saying
176
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:32,479
that my poor sister Julia and I
177
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:35,983
had no great pleasure in our lives.
178
00:13:36,108 --> 00:13:37,860
No servant would stay long
179
00:13:37,985 --> 00:13:42,447
so we did all the work of the house.
180
00:13:42,573 --> 00:13:46,451
She was but 30 when I lost her,
181
00:13:46,535 --> 00:13:48,745
but already her hair
had begun to whiten,
182
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:50,998
even as mine has.
183
00:13:51,123 --> 00:13:53,083
Your sister is dead?
184
00:13:53,208 --> 00:13:55,919
Just two years ago.
185
00:13:56,003 --> 00:13:58,255
It is of that I wish to talk to you.
186
00:14:05,554 --> 00:14:07,222
Living the life we did,
187
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:08,807
we were little likely to see anyone
188
00:14:08,932 --> 00:14:12,144
of our own age and position,
189
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:15,731
but we were occasionally
allowed short visits.
190
00:14:15,856 --> 00:14:17,399
Two years ago,
191
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:19,693
Julia met a half-pay major of marines,
192
00:14:19,818 --> 00:14:21,778
to whom she became engaged.
193
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:27,034
Your stepfather approved of the match?
194
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:29,411
He raised no objection at all.
195
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:33,832
A fortnight before the wedding,
196
00:14:33,957 --> 00:14:35,751
a terrible event occurred
197
00:14:35,876 --> 00:14:38,504
which deprived me of
my only companion.
198
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:45,093
Pray- be precise as to details.
199
00:14:45,219 --> 00:14:47,971
It is easy,
200
00:14:48,055 --> 00:14:53,310
every event of that night is
seared into my memory.
201
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:57,147
It was late, about 11:00,
202
00:14:57,231 --> 00:14:59,775
Julia had come into my room.
203
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:13,372
He's smoking those awful cigars again.
204
00:15:13,497 --> 00:15:16,375
Perhaps you should have this room
until the wedding.
205
00:15:23,632 --> 00:15:32,516
Oh, Helen, oh, I feel so happy.
206
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:36,103
And yet wretched that I'm
leaving you here alone.
207
00:15:36,228 --> 00:15:38,438
My turn will come.
208
00:15:38,564 --> 00:15:41,108
I shall miss you.
209
00:15:41,233 --> 00:15:44,611
No, you won't, I'll come and stay.
210
00:15:44,736 --> 00:15:48,073
Besides, your major has
promised to find me
211
00:15:48,198 --> 00:15:50,284
a brother officer of equal rank,
212
00:15:50,409 --> 00:15:56,373
and infinitely better looking.
213
00:15:56,456 --> 00:16:03,755
My darling, what is the matter?
214
00:16:03,881 --> 00:16:07,467
Helen, have you ever
heard anyone whistle
215
00:16:07,593 --> 00:16:11,513
in the dead of night?
216
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:16,268
I suppose you couldn't possibly
whistle yourself, in your sleep?
217
00:16:16,393 --> 00:16:20,105
Certainly not, why?
218
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:22,941
The last few nights,
219
00:16:23,066 --> 00:16:25,694
always about 3:00 in the morning,
220
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:28,947
I've been woken by a low, clear whistle.
221
00:16:29,072 --> 00:16:30,657
I can't tell where it's coming from.
222
00:16:30,782 --> 00:16:33,160
I thought you might have heard it.
223
00:16:33,285 --> 00:16:38,123
I sleep more heavily than you.
224
00:16:38,248 --> 00:16:44,463
It was probably those wretched gypsies.
225
00:16:44,588 --> 00:16:49,510
Well, never mind.
226
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:08,612
Was it your custom always
227
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:10,697
to lock yourself in at night?
228
00:17:10,781 --> 00:17:13,909
Always, my stepfather has a passion
229
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:16,203
for Indian animals.
230
00:17:16,328 --> 00:17:18,121
A leopard and baboon
231
00:17:18,205 --> 00:17:21,458
wander freely over the grounds.
232
00:17:21,542 --> 00:17:23,544
Julia and I had no feelings of security
233
00:17:23,627 --> 00:17:26,046
unless our doors and windows
were locked.
234
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:32,970
I couldn't sleep,
235
00:17:33,095 --> 00:17:38,058
I had a vague feeling of misfortune.
236
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:46,942
Julia!
237
00:18:10,299 --> 00:18:13,886
Please help me.
238
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:29,318
Oh, my God, Helen, It was the band...
239
00:18:29,443 --> 00:18:35,073
the speckled band.
240
00:18:35,157 --> 00:18:36,408
I'll get father.
241
00:18:36,491 --> 00:18:38,494
No!
242
00:18:41,955 --> 00:18:43,457
Go into your room child,
243
00:18:43,582 --> 00:18:46,251
I'll deal with this.
244
00:19:13,278 --> 00:19:16,240
I am sorry, gentlemen.
245
00:19:16,365 --> 00:19:20,202
My sister and I were very close.
246
00:19:20,327 --> 00:19:24,331
Yes indeed.
247
00:19:24,456 --> 00:19:27,042
What a mournful experience.
248
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:34,258
And you've no idea what
might have caused -
249
00:19:34,341 --> 00:19:37,970
This whistle and metallic sound,
250
00:19:38,095 --> 00:19:41,056
you can swear to it?
251
00:19:41,181 --> 00:19:43,600
It is my strong impression,
252
00:19:43,684 --> 00:19:46,562
I may possibly have been deceived.
253
00:19:46,687 --> 00:19:48,230
Was your sister dressed?
254
00:19:48,355 --> 00:19:50,649
No, she was in her night dress.
255
00:19:50,774 --> 00:19:53,110
Uh, on the floor there was a candle
256
00:19:53,193 --> 00:19:55,320
and the charred stump of a match.
257
00:19:55,404 --> 00:19:58,198
Which means, something must
have woken her up,
258
00:19:58,323 --> 00:20:03,787
and she struck a light to see
what the matter was.
259
00:20:03,912 --> 00:20:05,998
What conclusions did
the coroner come to?
260
00:20:06,123 --> 00:20:07,749
He investigated the case
with great care,
261
00:20:07,875 --> 00:20:11,587
but he was unable to find any
satisfactory cause of death.
262
00:20:11,712 --> 00:20:13,338
And your evidence would have shown
263
00:20:13,463 --> 00:20:16,175
that the door was fastened
on the inner side,
264
00:20:16,258 --> 00:20:19,178
the windows blocked by shutters,
secured every night.
265
00:20:19,261 --> 00:20:20,846
It is certain, therefore,
266
00:20:20,971 --> 00:20:23,640
that your sister was alone
267
00:20:23,724 --> 00:20:26,602
when she met her end?
268
00:20:26,727 --> 00:20:28,187
Yes.
269
00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:29,771
Besides, there were no marks
270
00:20:29,897 --> 00:20:33,150
of violence upon her.
271
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:36,695
What about poison?
272
00:20:36,778 --> 00:20:43,243
The doctors examined her for it,
without success.
273
00:20:43,368 --> 00:20:50,542
What do you think this unfortunate
lady died of, then?
274
00:20:50,626 --> 00:20:52,544
It's my belief that she died
275
00:20:52,669 --> 00:20:56,507
of pure fear and nervous shock,
276
00:20:56,590 --> 00:21:01,637
though what it was which frightened her
I cannot imagine.
277
00:21:01,762 --> 00:21:05,182
What do you gather from the allusion to
a band, a speckled band?
278
00:21:05,265 --> 00:21:08,060
Delirium.
279
00:21:08,185 --> 00:21:13,690
Or some band of people.
280
00:21:13,774 --> 00:21:17,736
The gypsies at the plantation
have spotted
281
00:21:17,819 --> 00:21:23,951
handkerchiefs they wear
around their necks.
282
00:21:24,076 --> 00:21:29,581
These are very deep waters.
283
00:21:29,706 --> 00:21:33,001
What happened after
your sister's death?
284
00:21:33,126 --> 00:21:35,921
My life was lonelier than ever
285
00:21:36,004 --> 00:21:37,506
until a month ago,
286
00:21:37,631 --> 00:21:39,424
when a dear friend of mine,
287
00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:41,176
whom I have known for many years,
288
00:21:41,301 --> 00:21:43,846
did me the honor to ask for
my hand in marriage.
289
00:21:43,971 --> 00:21:45,973
His name is Mr. Percy Armitage.
290
00:21:46,098 --> 00:21:49,977
And you are to be married
within a few weeks.
291
00:21:50,102 --> 00:21:51,562
So what prompted you to come here
292
00:21:51,687 --> 00:21:54,106
when your life seems set so fair?
293
00:21:54,189 --> 00:21:57,150
Yesterday, some repairs were started
294
00:21:57,234 --> 00:21:59,236
and my bedroom wall was pierced,
295
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:01,071
so that last night I was forced
296
00:22:01,154 --> 00:22:03,782
to move into the chamber
in which Julia died,
297
00:22:03,866 --> 00:22:05,200
to sleep in the very bed
298
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:06,743
in which she slept.
299
00:22:06,827 --> 00:22:09,121
Imagine my terror when
I was woken by the same
300
00:22:09,204 --> 00:22:12,875
low whistle which had been the
herald of her own death.
301
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,293
You lit a lamp?
302
00:22:14,376 --> 00:22:16,628
Yes, but nothing was to be seen.
303
00:22:16,712 --> 00:22:18,213
I was too shaken to sleep.
304
00:22:18,338 --> 00:22:19,882
I dressed and slipped out of the house.
305
00:22:20,007 --> 00:22:21,466
I got a dog-cart at the Crown Inn,
306
00:22:21,550 --> 00:22:23,302
and came to London with one objective,
307
00:22:23,385 --> 00:22:26,930
asking your advice.
308
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:31,518
You did wisely.
309
00:22:31,643 --> 00:22:35,522
But have you told me all?
310
00:22:35,647 --> 00:22:37,274
Yes.
311
00:22:37,357 --> 00:22:41,862
You have not, Miss Stoner.
312
00:22:41,987 --> 00:22:46,658
You are shielding your stepfather.
313
00:22:46,742 --> 00:22:49,536
He is a hard man, but he's still
314
00:22:49,661 --> 00:22:53,999
the only father I have known.
315
00:22:54,082 --> 00:22:56,960
I'd say it was time for some breakfast.
316
00:22:57,044 --> 00:22:59,463
There are a thousand details
I desire to know
317
00:22:59,546 --> 00:23:01,715
before I decide on a course of action.
318
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,010
If we were to come to
Stoke Moran today,
319
00:23:05,093 --> 00:23:06,553
could we see over these rooms
320
00:23:06,678 --> 00:23:09,014
without the knowledge
of your stepfather?
321
00:23:09,139 --> 00:23:10,432
As it happens, he spoke of coming
322
00:23:10,557 --> 00:23:12,142
to town today on some business.
323
00:23:12,226 --> 00:23:13,227
And the workmen?
324
00:23:13,352 --> 00:23:14,186
I have seen none.
325
00:23:14,311 --> 00:23:15,938
We have a woman who comes
to clean from the village,
326
00:23:16,063 --> 00:23:17,356
but only in the morning.
327
00:23:17,439 --> 00:23:18,774
There should be nothing to disturb you.
328
00:23:18,899 --> 00:23:19,233
Excellent.
329
00:23:19,358 --> 00:23:21,193
Watson, you are not averse
to this trip?
330
00:23:21,276 --> 00:23:23,320
By no means.
331
00:23:23,403 --> 00:23:26,281
Then we will be with you
in the early afternoon.
332
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:28,200
I shall be there for your arrival.
333
00:23:31,078 --> 00:23:33,705
You'll stay for some breakfast, surely?
334
00:23:33,789 --> 00:23:35,666
Thank you, no.
335
00:23:40,212 --> 00:23:43,590
My heart is lightened already.
336
00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:59,982
Ah, Mrs. Hudson, thank you.
337
00:24:00,107 --> 00:24:05,028
When you combine the ideas of
whistles at night,
338
00:24:05,112 --> 00:24:07,030
the presence of a band of gypsies
339
00:24:07,114 --> 00:24:09,366
on intimate terms with the doctor,
340
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:14,371
the dying allusion to
a speckled band, well,
341
00:24:14,454 --> 00:24:16,456
there's good ground to believe
that the mystery
342
00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:19,042
may be cleared along those lines.
343
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:28,594
Which one of you is Holmes?
344
00:24:28,677 --> 00:24:31,054
My name, sir;
345
00:24:31,138 --> 00:24:33,849
but you have the advantage of me.
346
00:24:33,974 --> 00:24:35,559
I am Dr. Grimesby Roylott,
347
00:24:35,642 --> 00:24:40,147
of Stoke Moran.
348
00:24:40,272 --> 00:24:45,235
Indeed, Doctor, please take a seat.
349
00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:47,779
I shall do nothing of the kind.
350
00:24:47,863 --> 00:24:49,531
I know that my stepdaughter
351
00:24:49,656 --> 00:24:51,617
has been here this morning.
352
00:24:51,742 --> 00:24:54,244
What has she been saying to you?
353
00:24:54,328 --> 00:24:58,540
It is a little cold for
the time of the year.
354
00:24:58,665 --> 00:25:00,501
What has she been saying to you?
355
00:25:00,626 --> 00:25:03,420
But I have heard that
the crops promise well.
356
00:25:03,504 --> 00:25:07,466
Ah, you put me off, do you?
357
00:25:07,549 --> 00:25:09,676
You scoundrel, sir.
358
00:25:09,801 --> 00:25:12,304
I've heard of you before.
359
00:25:12,429 --> 00:25:14,223
You are Holmes, the meddler,
360
00:25:14,348 --> 00:25:15,474
Holmes the busybody,
361
00:25:15,557 --> 00:25:19,478
Holmes, the Scotland Yard
Jack-in-office.
362
00:25:19,603 --> 00:25:22,940
Your conversation really is
most entertaining,
363
00:25:23,023 --> 00:25:25,108
if you would close the door,
364
00:25:25,234 --> 00:25:29,488
on your way out,
as there is a decided draft.
365
00:25:29,613 --> 00:25:32,699
I will go when I have said my say.
366
00:25:32,825 --> 00:25:35,869
Don't you dare to interfere
in my affairs.
367
00:25:35,994 --> 00:25:39,706
I know that Miss Stoner has been here.
368
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,267
I am a dangerous man to fall foul of.
369
00:26:05,566 --> 00:26:10,863
Thank you, Mrs. Hudson,
just another client.
370
00:26:10,946 --> 00:26:16,201
What a very amiable person.
371
00:26:16,326 --> 00:26:18,829
I may not be quite so bulky, but -
372
00:26:25,252 --> 00:26:26,712
fancy his having the insolence
373
00:26:26,795 --> 00:26:30,507
to confound me with
the official detective force.
374
00:26:30,591 --> 00:26:34,803
Ah, this incident gives zest
to our investigation.
375
00:26:34,928 --> 00:26:36,471
I only hope our friend won't suffer
376
00:26:36,597 --> 00:26:38,473
from her imprudence in
allowing that brute
377
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:40,142
to trace her here.
378
00:26:40,267 --> 00:26:42,436
One thought keeps nagging
at me, Watson,
379
00:26:42,561 --> 00:26:45,189
Roylott's professional life in India,
380
00:26:45,272 --> 00:26:46,607
if it was so successful,
381
00:26:46,732 --> 00:26:48,442
why would he exchange it for a life
382
00:26:48,567 --> 00:26:50,611
of aristocratic penury?
383
00:26:50,736 --> 00:26:53,405
My friend Cooms would know.
384
00:26:53,530 --> 00:26:56,408
Cooms was in Calcutta
around that time.
385
00:26:56,492 --> 00:26:57,868
Find your friend Cooms
386
00:26:57,951 --> 00:27:01,580
and see what you can get from him.
387
00:27:01,705 --> 00:27:03,874
I shall walk down to Doctors' Commons,
388
00:27:03,957 --> 00:27:05,751
where I hope to get some data
389
00:27:05,834 --> 00:27:07,628
which may help us in this matter.
390
00:27:07,753 --> 00:27:13,592
Let us meet again at 1:00 under
the clock at Waterloo Station.
391
00:27:13,675 --> 00:27:16,178
That is, if you've finished your
breakfast by then.
392
00:27:16,303 --> 00:27:19,681
Oh, and your revolver,
393
00:27:19,806 --> 00:27:21,808
I would be obliged if you would
slip it into your pocket.
394
00:27:21,934 --> 00:27:23,602
An Eley #2 is an excellent argument
395
00:27:23,727 --> 00:27:27,105
against gentlemen who can
twist steel pokers into knots.
396
00:27:27,189 --> 00:27:29,316
That, and your toothbrush,
397
00:27:29,441 --> 00:27:31,902
are I think all we need.
398
00:27:34,863 --> 00:27:37,407
I've seen the will of
the deceased wife.
399
00:27:37,491 --> 00:27:39,284
Her annual income
at the time of her death
400
00:27:39,409 --> 00:27:42,120
was a little short of 1100 pounds,
401
00:27:42,204 --> 00:27:44,122
but, due to the fall in
agricultural prices,
402
00:27:44,248 --> 00:27:46,750
there's now no more than 750 pounds.
403
00:27:46,875 --> 00:27:48,126
Each girl in case of marriage,
404
00:27:48,210 --> 00:27:49,795
could claim 250 pounds.
405
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,297
So, if both girls had married,
ah, beauty,
406
00:27:52,422 --> 00:27:56,635
Grimesby Roylott would have had
a mere pittance.
407
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,472
And even one marriage would ruin him.
408
00:28:00,556 --> 00:28:04,810
The strongest possible motive.
409
00:28:04,893 --> 00:28:08,647
Oh, did you manage to find Cooms?
410
00:28:08,730 --> 00:28:10,524
Yes, I did.
411
00:28:10,649 --> 00:28:12,442
He proved rather hard to locate,
412
00:28:12,526 --> 00:28:13,819
but I finally managed
413
00:28:13,944 --> 00:28:16,196
to get him through Swanson at Bards.
414
00:28:16,321 --> 00:28:18,824
He did know Roylott in Calcutta,
415
00:28:18,949 --> 00:28:22,369
confirmed what the girl had said,
416
00:28:22,494 --> 00:28:24,955
and added one intriguing fact.
417
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,791
Now, it seems that
a series of robberies
418
00:28:27,875 --> 00:28:29,751
had been perpetrated in his house,
419
00:28:29,877 --> 00:28:32,212
and suspicion fell on
his native butler.
420
00:28:32,337 --> 00:28:34,840
Roylott promptly seized the man,
421
00:28:34,965 --> 00:28:36,383
and in a fit of anger
422
00:28:36,508 --> 00:28:39,428
beat the poor fellow to death,
423
00:28:39,553 --> 00:28:42,097
narrowly escaped a capital sentence,
424
00:28:42,222 --> 00:28:44,433
but suffered a long term
of imprisonment,
425
00:28:44,558 --> 00:28:46,518
and returned to this country
426
00:28:46,602 --> 00:28:52,441
a morose and disappointed man.
427
00:28:52,566 --> 00:28:58,113
Ah, Watson, it's a wicked world.
428
00:28:58,238 --> 00:29:03,202
And when a clever man
turns his brain to crime,
429
00:29:03,327 --> 00:29:06,622
it's the worst of all.
430
00:29:22,971 --> 00:29:25,724
On holiday, are you, gentlemen?
431
00:29:25,849 --> 00:29:28,060
No, we're architects,
432
00:29:28,185 --> 00:29:30,187
taking a look at some of
the local houses.
433
00:29:30,270 --> 00:29:33,065
Ah, that's why you're wanting
Stoke Moran.
434
00:29:33,148 --> 00:29:36,068
I didn't think it was
for social reasons.
435
00:29:36,151 --> 00:29:40,364
You'll be, doing business with
Dr. Roylott then?
436
00:29:40,447 --> 00:29:43,075
Yes, I believe that was the name.
437
00:29:43,158 --> 00:29:44,868
If you don't mind a word of warning,
438
00:29:44,952 --> 00:29:47,412
you want to take care with him, sir.
439
00:29:47,538 --> 00:29:48,997
There are some round these parts
440
00:29:49,122 --> 00:29:51,166
say he's not right in the head.
441
00:29:51,291 --> 00:29:52,417
Really?
442
00:29:52,543 --> 00:29:55,504
Only yesterday, Mr. Thorn,
the blacksmith,
443
00:29:55,629 --> 00:29:59,049
had a most nasty experience
with the Doctor
444
00:29:59,174 --> 00:30:01,009
because of those thieving gypsies
445
00:30:01,134 --> 00:30:03,428
who are camped in the grounds.
446
00:30:03,554 --> 00:30:06,139
Oh, yes, we've heard about the gypsies
447
00:30:06,265 --> 00:30:07,307
and the leopard.
448
00:30:07,432 --> 00:30:09,268
The story goes,
449
00:30:09,351 --> 00:30:11,770
the Doctor threw Mr. Thorn
in the stream
450
00:30:11,854 --> 00:30:13,939
in a fit of uncontrollable temper.
451
00:30:14,064 --> 00:30:15,816
And that Thorn, he's not a small man.
452
00:30:15,941 --> 00:30:19,778
Good Lord, is he bringing a
charge of assault?
453
00:30:19,903 --> 00:30:22,114
He was going to, but Miss Stoner,
454
00:30:22,197 --> 00:30:24,533
the Doctor's young stepdaughter,
455
00:30:24,658 --> 00:30:28,620
paid him some of her own money
to keep it quiet.
456
00:30:28,745 --> 00:30:30,247
Well, that's what I heard.
457
00:30:30,372 --> 00:30:33,083
Well, I never.
458
00:30:33,167 --> 00:30:34,835
Did you hear that, Holmes,
459
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,962
the more I see and hear of
that young lady,
460
00:30:37,087 --> 00:30:39,631
the more my admiration increases,
461
00:30:39,756 --> 00:30:42,843
young woman of commendable spirit.
462
00:30:42,968 --> 00:30:45,929
You can pull up here, driver.
463
00:30:46,054 --> 00:30:48,473
Who do you mean?
464
00:30:48,557 --> 00:30:50,809
Well, Miss Stoner, of course,
465
00:30:50,893 --> 00:30:52,603
most admirable.
466
00:30:52,686 --> 00:30:54,646
Ah, Miss Stoner.
467
00:31:18,545 --> 00:31:20,005
Everything worked splendidly.
468
00:31:20,130 --> 00:31:21,381
Dr. Roylott has gone to London
469
00:31:21,507 --> 00:31:23,300
and he won't be back
before the evening.
470
00:31:23,383 --> 00:31:24,927
But we have already had the pleasure
471
00:31:25,052 --> 00:31:26,887
of Dr. Roylott's acquaintance.
472
00:31:27,012 --> 00:31:28,388
Goodness, he followed me?
473
00:31:28,514 --> 00:31:30,891
Yes, he turned up just after you left,
474
00:31:31,016 --> 00:31:33,977
but Holmes sent him off with
a flea in his ear.
475
00:31:34,061 --> 00:31:35,521
He's so cunning, I never know
476
00:31:35,604 --> 00:31:37,523
when I'm safe from him.
477
00:31:37,648 --> 00:31:39,650
Well then, he must guard himself,
478
00:31:39,733 --> 00:31:41,693
or he may find someone more cunning
479
00:31:41,818 --> 00:31:43,529
than himself upon his track, shall we.
480
00:31:43,612 --> 00:31:46,698
Holmes, don't you think we ought to get
481
00:31:46,824 --> 00:31:48,909
Miss Stoner away from here tonight?
482
00:31:49,034 --> 00:31:50,118
And arouse suspicion?
483
00:31:50,244 --> 00:31:51,537
But if he's violent ...
484
00:31:51,620 --> 00:31:53,539
We shall be here.
485
00:32:11,557 --> 00:32:14,309
So this is Dr. Roylott's room,
486
00:32:14,434 --> 00:32:16,353
this formerly your sister's,
487
00:32:16,436 --> 00:32:17,813
and this your room?
488
00:32:17,938 --> 00:32:19,857
Yes, I am now sleeping in this one.
489
00:32:19,940 --> 00:32:23,360
Ah, pending the alterations.
490
00:32:23,443 --> 00:32:26,071
Miss Stoner, may I ask something,
491
00:32:26,196 --> 00:32:27,656
that's unusual, isn't it,
492
00:32:27,781 --> 00:32:30,325
bedrooms on the ground floor?
493
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:31,743
The bedrooms were moved downstairs
494
00:32:31,827 --> 00:32:33,370
when so much of the house
fell into decay.
495
00:32:33,495 --> 00:32:36,665
Oh, yes, of course, how sad.
496
00:32:40,794 --> 00:32:42,588
There seems little need for repairs
497
00:32:42,713 --> 00:32:44,381
to this end of the house.
498
00:32:44,464 --> 00:32:46,133
There are none, I believe it
499
00:32:46,258 --> 00:32:49,720
was an excuse to move me from my room.
500
00:32:49,803 --> 00:32:54,474
Ah, that is suggestive.
501
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,518
Miss Stoner, would you be so kind
502
00:32:56,643 --> 00:32:58,270
as to go into the room
503
00:32:58,395 --> 00:33:00,022
in which you are now sleeping
504
00:33:00,147 --> 00:33:03,066
and bolt the shutters.
505
00:33:14,453 --> 00:33:18,040
What are you doing, Watson?
506
00:33:18,165 --> 00:33:21,543
Well, I'm using your methods, Holmes,
507
00:33:21,668 --> 00:33:25,214
seeing whether the ground
has been disturbed.
508
00:33:25,339 --> 00:33:28,467
And what have you come up with?
509
00:33:28,592 --> 00:33:31,345
Your footprints, I believe,
510
00:33:31,470 --> 00:33:34,431
and mine and Miss Stoner's,
511
00:33:34,556 --> 00:33:36,391
and this.
512
00:34:01,875 --> 00:34:07,548
No one could pass these
if they were bolted.
513
00:34:07,673 --> 00:34:13,011
Well, let's see if the inside throws
any light on the matter.
514
00:34:56,847 --> 00:34:59,474
Where does that bell
communicate with?
515
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,393
It goes to the housekeeper's room.
516
00:35:01,518 --> 00:35:03,770
It looks newer than the other things.
517
00:35:03,896 --> 00:35:06,356
Yes, it was only put there
a couple of years ago.
518
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,025
Ah, your sister asked for it?
519
00:35:08,108 --> 00:35:09,484
I never heard of her using it.
520
00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:13,071
We used to get what we wanted
for ourselves.
521
00:35:13,197 --> 00:35:14,948
Indeed, you will excuse me
522
00:35:15,073 --> 00:35:18,160
while I satisfy myself as to this floor.
523
00:35:39,181 --> 00:35:41,433
It doesn't ring.
524
00:35:41,517 --> 00:35:44,144
That's very strange.
525
00:35:57,157 --> 00:36:02,412
A ventilator into another room.
526
00:36:02,496 --> 00:36:06,291
You mean, when it might have
527
00:36:06,416 --> 00:36:09,419
communicated with the outside air?
528
00:36:09,503 --> 00:36:11,171
That is also quite modern.
529
00:36:11,296 --> 00:36:13,423
Indeed.
530
00:36:13,507 --> 00:36:15,968
Miss Stoner, with your permission,
531
00:36:16,093 --> 00:36:17,803
we will now carry our research
532
00:36:17,928 --> 00:36:20,681
to Dr. Roylott's chamber.
533
00:36:42,536 --> 00:36:44,163
What's in here?
534
00:36:44,288 --> 00:36:45,914
My stepfather's business papers.
535
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:47,666
Ah, you've seen inside it, then?
536
00:36:47,749 --> 00:36:49,209
Only once, some years ago.
537
00:36:49,334 --> 00:36:52,963
I remember it was full of papers.
538
00:36:53,046 --> 00:36:55,841
Is there a cat in there?
539
00:36:55,966 --> 00:36:59,511
No, what a strange idea.
540
00:36:59,636 --> 00:37:04,474
Well, look at this!
541
00:37:04,558 --> 00:37:06,810
No, we don't keep a cat.
542
00:37:06,894 --> 00:37:11,732
Ah, well, a leopard is a large cat,
after all.
543
00:37:11,857 --> 00:37:13,525
Yes, but a saucer of milk
wouldn't go far
544
00:37:13,650 --> 00:37:19,239
in satisfying a leopard.
545
00:37:19,364 --> 00:37:22,784
The leopard is kept on a leash, is it?
546
00:37:22,910 --> 00:37:27,247
This sort of leash, Watson?
547
00:37:27,372 --> 00:37:29,541
What do you make of it?
548
00:37:29,625 --> 00:37:31,668
Well, it's a common enough dog leash,
549
00:37:31,752 --> 00:37:35,839
but I don't know why it should be tied.
550
00:37:35,964 --> 00:37:40,135
We have no dog.
551
00:37:40,260 --> 00:37:46,600
Thank you, Miss Stoner,
I have seen enough.
552
00:38:04,993 --> 00:38:10,332
I was going to ask if
he'd like some tea.
553
00:38:10,415 --> 00:38:14,586
Miss Stoner, it is very essential
554
00:38:14,711 --> 00:38:18,215
that you absolutely follow
my advice in every respect.
555
00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:20,551
Your life may depend on it.
556
00:38:20,634 --> 00:38:22,886
I assure you that I'm in your hands.
557
00:38:22,970 --> 00:38:24,763
In the first place,
558
00:38:24,847 --> 00:38:27,516
on the way here we passed
a small cottage.
559
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:28,934
The shill house.
560
00:38:29,059 --> 00:38:30,602
Will the windows of your sister's room
561
00:38:30,727 --> 00:38:32,229
be visible from there?
562
00:38:32,354 --> 00:38:33,313
Yes.
563
00:38:33,438 --> 00:38:34,523
You are sure?
564
00:38:34,606 --> 00:38:36,024
Yes.
565
00:38:36,149 --> 00:38:38,610
Then we shall make it our base.
566
00:38:38,694 --> 00:38:40,279
Some refreshment?
567
00:38:40,404 --> 00:38:44,783
We shall have dine shalt we, Holmes?
568
00:38:44,867 --> 00:38:47,369
Is there a village inn?
569
00:38:47,452 --> 00:38:48,537
The Crown.
570
00:38:48,620 --> 00:38:49,746
Oh, good.
571
00:38:49,830 --> 00:38:52,791
Thank you all the same.
572
00:38:52,875 --> 00:38:55,169
Now, Miss Stoner,
573
00:38:55,294 --> 00:38:57,462
when your stepfather returns,
574
00:38:57,546 --> 00:38:59,756
you must confine yourself in your room
575
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,092
on pretense of a headache.
576
00:39:02,176 --> 00:39:03,552
Then when you hear your stepfather
577
00:39:03,635 --> 00:39:05,179
retire for the night,
578
00:39:05,304 --> 00:39:06,763
you must go to the windows,
579
00:39:06,847 --> 00:39:09,224
undo the hasp, open the shutters,
580
00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:11,977
and leave your lamp on the window sill
581
00:39:12,060 --> 00:39:13,687
as a signal to us.
582
00:39:13,812 --> 00:39:16,023
Then withdraw with
anything you may want
583
00:39:16,148 --> 00:39:17,983
for the night to your old room.
584
00:39:18,108 --> 00:39:19,776
I have no doubt that,
in spite of the repairs,
585
00:39:19,860 --> 00:39:21,570
you could manage there for one night.
586
00:39:21,653 --> 00:39:24,281
Oh, yes, of course.
587
00:39:24,364 --> 00:39:26,533
And now, we must leave.
588
00:39:26,658 --> 00:39:29,703
If Dr. Roylott should return
and find us here,
589
00:39:29,828 --> 00:39:33,332
our journey would be in vain.
590
00:39:33,457 --> 00:39:34,791
I believe, Mr. Holmes,
591
00:39:34,875 --> 00:39:39,004
that you've already made up your mind.
592
00:39:39,129 --> 00:39:40,547
For pity sake,
593
00:39:40,547 --> 00:39:43,133
tell me the cause of my sister's death.
594
00:39:43,217 --> 00:39:44,885
Be brave.
595
00:39:45,010 --> 00:39:46,470
If you do as I have told you,
596
00:39:46,595 --> 00:39:48,013
rest assured we shall soon drive away
597
00:39:48,138 --> 00:39:52,643
the dangers that threaten you.
598
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:17,501
Yes, it is a clear view.
599
00:40:35,769 --> 00:40:40,232
Are you expecting this
to take all night, Holmes?
600
00:40:40,357 --> 00:40:47,990
It's possible, anything's possible.
601
00:40:48,115 --> 00:40:52,369
When a doctor goes wrong,
602
00:40:52,452 --> 00:40:55,747
he is the first of criminals.
603
00:40:55,873 --> 00:41:00,460
He has nerve, he has knowledge,
604
00:41:00,586 --> 00:41:04,047
Palmer and Pritchard were among
the heads of their profession,
605
00:41:04,173 --> 00:41:09,136
this man strikes even deeper.
606
00:41:09,261 --> 00:41:14,725
I really have some scruples
taking you tonight.
607
00:41:14,850 --> 00:41:17,853
There is a distinct element of danger.
608
00:41:17,936 --> 00:41:22,983
If I can be of assistance?
609
00:41:23,108 --> 00:41:27,196
That's very kind of you.
610
00:41:35,370 --> 00:41:37,748
You evidently saw more in those rooms
611
00:41:37,831 --> 00:41:41,126
than was visible to me, Holmes.
612
00:41:41,210 --> 00:41:48,258
No, I probably deduced a little more.
613
00:41:48,383 --> 00:41:50,802
Do you remember Miss Stoner said
614
00:41:50,928 --> 00:41:52,513
that her sister could smell
615
00:41:52,638 --> 00:41:56,350
Dr. Roylott's cigar?
616
00:41:56,475 --> 00:41:57,851
Well?
617
00:41:57,976 --> 00:42:00,854
The ventilator, a ventilator made,
618
00:42:00,979 --> 00:42:06,193
a cord hung, and a woman
who lies in the bed, dies.
619
00:42:06,318 --> 00:42:08,946
I can't see any connection.
620
00:42:09,029 --> 00:42:16,370
Did you notice anything peculiar
about the bed?
621
00:42:16,495 --> 00:42:20,165
It was clamped to the floor.
622
00:42:20,290 --> 00:42:24,002
It could not be moved,
had to remain in the same
623
00:42:24,086 --> 00:42:30,008
relative position to
the ventilator and the rope,
624
00:42:30,133 --> 00:42:33,887
or so we may call it,
since it was clearly
625
00:42:34,012 --> 00:42:40,811
never made for a bell pull.
626
00:42:40,894 --> 00:42:45,732
I begin to see dimly
what you're driving at.
627
00:42:45,858 --> 00:42:48,610
We're only just in time to prevent some
628
00:42:48,694 --> 00:43:00,330
subtle and horrible crime.
629
00:43:08,881 --> 00:43:12,009
Whoah, boy.
630
00:43:19,850 --> 00:43:21,727
Goodnight.
631
00:44:12,110 --> 00:44:16,990
Did you have a good day?
632
00:44:17,115 --> 00:44:25,332
Not without interest.
633
00:44:25,457 --> 00:44:29,127
Where did you get to this morning?
634
00:44:29,253 --> 00:44:33,549
I decided to go to town, too.
635
00:44:33,674 --> 00:44:39,805
I had some shopping to do
for the wedding.
636
00:44:39,888 --> 00:44:42,933
You knew I was going up,
637
00:44:43,016 --> 00:44:46,979
we might have traveled together.
638
00:44:47,062 --> 00:44:49,815
I left early.
639
00:44:49,898 --> 00:44:53,986
Yes, I know you did.
640
00:44:54,111 --> 00:44:56,572
So that I should be back by lunchtime,
641
00:44:56,697 --> 00:45:01,326
I had some things to do here
this afternoon.
642
00:45:01,410 --> 00:45:07,958
My trip was a whim.
643
00:45:08,083 --> 00:45:17,050
You always were a good little liar.
644
00:45:17,176 --> 00:45:23,390
If you'll excuse me,
I have a terrible headache.
645
00:45:23,515 --> 00:45:30,939
Holmes, the meddler, Holmes,
the busybody,
646
00:45:31,023 --> 00:45:38,030
Holmes, the Scotland Yard
Jack-in-office.
647
00:46:13,482 --> 00:46:16,485
The signal.
648
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,353
My God, what's that?
649
00:46:51,436 --> 00:46:53,814
It's the baboon.
650
00:46:53,939 --> 00:46:57,943
This is a nice household.
651
00:47:22,634 --> 00:47:27,598
We must sit without light.
652
00:47:49,536 --> 00:47:51,371
Do not fall asleep;
653
00:47:51,497 --> 00:47:55,959
your very life may depend upon it.
654
00:49:52,284 --> 00:49:54,745
You see it, Watson, you see it?
655
00:50:05,881 --> 00:50:10,802
What can it mean?
656
00:50:10,886 --> 00:50:13,805
It means it is over,
657
00:50:13,889 --> 00:50:16,808
and perhaps, for the best.
658
00:50:16,892 --> 00:50:20,646
Come Watson, bring your pistol.
659
00:50:36,745 --> 00:50:41,291
It's the band, the speckled band,
660
00:50:41,416 --> 00:50:43,669
it is a swamp adder,
661
00:50:43,752 --> 00:50:47,005
the deadliest snake in India.
662
00:50:47,089 --> 00:50:50,467
He has died within seconds
of being bitten.
663
00:51:35,596 --> 00:51:37,347
Violence does, in truth,
664
00:51:37,431 --> 00:51:39,933
recoil upon the violent,
665
00:51:40,058 --> 00:51:42,936
and the schemer falls into the pit
666
00:51:43,061 --> 00:51:45,481
which he digs for another.
667
00:51:48,567 --> 00:51:49,943
The idea of a snake occurred to me
668
00:51:50,068 --> 00:51:51,737
when I coupled it with the knowledge
669
00:51:51,862 --> 00:51:53,447
that the Doctor was furnished
670
00:51:53,572 --> 00:51:55,407
with a supply of creatures from India.
671
00:51:55,491 --> 00:51:57,951
A form of poison, rapid and lethal.
672
00:51:58,076 --> 00:51:59,411
Which couldn't possibly be discovered
673
00:51:59,495 --> 00:52:01,914
by any chemical test.
674
00:52:01,997 --> 00:52:04,041
It might, or might not bite
675
00:52:04,166 --> 00:52:05,959
the occupant of the bed.
676
00:52:06,084 --> 00:52:08,045
She might escape every night
for a week,
677
00:52:08,170 --> 00:52:09,713
but sooner or later,
678
00:52:09,796 --> 00:52:12,341
she must fall a victim.
679
00:52:12,424 --> 00:52:16,720
Oh, my poor Julia.
680
00:52:16,803 --> 00:52:19,515
The Doctor had trained the snake,
681
00:52:19,598 --> 00:52:21,183
probably with the milk,
682
00:52:21,266 --> 00:52:23,602
to return at the sound of a whistle,
683
00:52:23,727 --> 00:52:24,895
the very whistle
684
00:52:24,978 --> 00:52:28,065
which you and your late sister heard.
685
00:52:28,190 --> 00:52:29,483
My inspection of the chair
686
00:52:29,608 --> 00:52:31,276
in Dr. Roylott's room had shown that he
687
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,195
had been in the habit of
standing upon it
688
00:52:33,278 --> 00:52:35,656
to reach the ventilator.
689
00:52:35,781 --> 00:52:37,533
Last night when I attacked the snake
690
00:52:37,616 --> 00:52:39,660
and drove it back
through the ventilator,
691
00:52:39,785 --> 00:52:41,620
I roused its snakish temper,
692
00:52:41,745 --> 00:52:43,330
causing it to turn upon
693
00:52:43,455 --> 00:52:45,874
the next person that it saw.
694
00:52:45,958 --> 00:52:49,211
Dr. Grimesby Roylott.
695
00:52:49,294 --> 00:52:51,129
So you, Holmes,
696
00:52:51,213 --> 00:52:52,798
were indirectly responsible
697
00:52:52,923 --> 00:52:55,801
for his death.
698
00:52:55,884 --> 00:52:58,136
I cannot say that it is likely
699
00:52:58,262 --> 00:53:02,266
to weigh very heavily on my conscience.
