Amen.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Law love duck. Hey Jenny, you have a

hand. I can't open it.

>> He is Mr. Partridge. Hey, Mr. Partridge.

Now what's the trouble?

>> Can't open the blinking door.

>> Come out.

You hear me? This is Victoria station.

Some drunk leaving it all.

>> Some just peing for claws.

>> Jim, let's have your ladder.

>> Yes.

>> Open that window.

I can't budge it, Mr. Partridge.

>> That is a word. You'll have to smash it

then, right?

Mr. Bald is

no flex. The police don't stand there,

gaping.

This must be the place.

>> Yes,

>> you'll have to wait here.

>> We're not going to let you go in a place

like this alone.

>> You must really. I'll be all right.

This meeting is now called to order. The

unfortunate death in a train of one of

our members, Mr. James Murphy, who

departed this life by his own act while

of unsound mind, has necessitated this

meeting. That's what you say, Mr. Manu.

But how do you know?

>> A verdict of death by suicide has

returned tonight.

>> This is the second occasion that we have

been brought together by the uh mishaps

to our members. The first being the

passing away by natural causes of the

late Colonel Forester,

whose charming daughter so gracefully

honors us with her presence here

tonight.

It is agreed in the pack drawn up and

formally attested to by its founders

that should the grim reaper overtake uh

one or more,

the interests of the deceased in the

society will be divided equally among

the surviving members.

It is also provided for in the fact that

Miss Forester becomes a participating

member. Consequently, the interests of

the late James Murphy will be divided

equally among the sevens.

I move that my fee for the necessary

legal representation,

funeral expenses, and a modest earn to

the ashes uh be defayed by our

organization. I understand from the

widow that uh he expressed a preference

for cremation.

>> I second that.

>> All those in favor will please signify

by raising their hands.

Mr. Wilson,

Mr. Mr. Baker,

Mr. Daring,

Mr. Pike,

uh, yet.

>> Good. Has any provision been made for

the widow?

>> Now, I presume that we did stretch a

point in her favor.

>> Emphatically, no. Things are complicated

enough as they are.

>> Why did he want to kill himself?

>> Have you ever met his wife?

>> No, but I have. A pest if there ever was

one. We can attribute his death solely

to the general deficiencies of one

Annabelle Mary Murphy.

What would you deduce from this?

>> Obviously an attempt to convey secret

information.

Could you decipher it? I could not. Nor

could you

bet?

>> Certainly. How much?

Shilling, my time is too valuable.

The answer will be found in a large book

because the numbers are large. That's

just the Bible.

Advance. Watson. Where? The widow is

standing under the street lamp.

A widow? Would you like to bet on that?

Of course. Well, I'm not going down the

street to ask her. Ah, won't be

necessary. She's made up her mind.

So, you deduce her to distancing?

>> Not in this case. I recognized her

features. She's a Mrs. Murphy. Her

husband was murdered 3 days ago.

>> You mean a man that was found dead in a

train?

>> Exactly.

Come in.

and Mrs. Murphy to see you, sir. Mrs.

I'm in such a mess. Such a mess. My

husband up and died without leaving me

as much as a certain bit. It's a crime

shame, Mr. R. That's what it is.

>> Sit down and try to compose yourself.

>> Cut off without her father by an

ungrateful good for nothing. Me at my

time of life. No dirty dog had a better

wife. I've waited on him and to mouth.

Stood by his side morning, noon, and

night. And what does the stinker do? He

ups and kills itself and and leaves his

money to a to a trust and Mr. Merry do.

Yes. And there's another thinker if I

never saw another. Won't even let me

have a fix. He won't even let me have a

me. Mr.

>> Hadius married you the lawyer.

>> Yes. The feound. The dirty rat.

>> You were married how long?

>> Five blessed long years.

>> Previous to your marriage, your husband

served in the army.

>> You knew him of it. He got his discharge

in China.

>> Yes, that's right.

>> Then you married?

>> Yes. And I gave up everything, Mr. Owns.

You asked the proprietor of the Black

Sour. He'll tell you. It was me that

made that pub what it was.

>> And your husband had money.

>> Farrell of it. And when he wanted more,

he used to come up to London and get it.

It was that that took him to London when

he killed himself.

>> How do you know?

>> Well, Jim comes into my room. I was in

bed with a piece of cucumber rin around

the ed trying to cure an headache. He

had a letter in his hand.

Fear pig. He says that was his pet name

for me when he was drunk. I'm going up

to London.

>> Did you read the contents of the letter?

>> Oh, it wasn't no letter. It was just a

piece of jugger.

>> Watson, make a note of Mrs. Murphy's

dress. Uh 232 King's Cross Road. Then

you'll undertake me, Mr. Rome.

>> I'll uh take up your case.

>> Mind you, it'll have to be for love.

>> Love

>> for Nick. I like working for nothing.

>> My interest is to bring the criminal to

justice.

>> Oh, never mind about justice. Never mind

about the crime. All I want is my

husband's lawful money. And I want you

to slap that Steven lawyer's face right

across between his greasy fat chops.

Good night, Mr. Holmes. I'll be seeing

you and thank you kindly.

>> Good night, Miss Nervy.

Deep water, Watson.

She needs some shady lawyer, not you.

Think so. I'm amazed that you're wasting

your energies on such a moral. Who is

this married you? London's most

dangerous crook. The king of black

makers. A gliding, slidy, venomous

snake. Once in his power, he'll squeeze

and squeeze until he's drained his

victim's dry. More than once I've had my

net around him, but so far he's managed

to wrigle his way out. The time has

come, Watson. The time has come for Mr.

Fattius married you.

Now, Miss Forester and gentlemen, this

concludes the meeting. I would like to

have a word for you, Lord. I sincerely

trust no further accident will happen to

a kid in another meeting. Never can

tell.

Are you going my way?

>> Which way do you go? I go the other.

>> That leads to a dead end.

>> That's the way I go.

>> Good night, then.

>> Good night.

You must never mention anything that

transpired at this meeting tonight or

even that this meeting was held. I saw a

young man standing on the corner as I

came in.

>> Yes, my fiance. He brought me here and

is waiting for me.

>> Oh,

then you're thinking of being married?

>> Yes.

>> I wouldn't if I were you. That is at

least until you consulted me.

>> But why?

>> I can't explain. In a short time, the

society will no longer exist. Until its

affairs are winded up, it would be most

unwise for you to marry. Your father

would not have wished.

>> What had my father to do with these

people?

>> Didn't he ever tell you?

>> No.

>> Then I must respect his silence.

Remember,

not a word to a living soul.

>> HE'S

CAPTAIN P.

THERE SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.

You wait here.

What is it?

>> What happened? Are you hurt?

>> Someone.

>> Look,

it disappeared. What does it mean? The

murderer must have had an accomplice and

removed the body.

>> We must call the police.

>> No, no. The police will be here soon

enough and must become involved.

>> But it's murder.

>> As you respect your father's memory, you

must preserve a strict silence, not a

word.

Come.

The body was pulled out of the tents at

5:00 a.m. at the Lighthouse District.

The autopsy shows a death was caused by

a bullet through the heart. The features

that you see are unrecognizable caused

possibly by the battering of the head

against the wall where the body was

found. You would have identified the

body by means of that ring. Ah,

>> a very rare and very beautiful ring this

day.

>> There isn't the slightest doubt the seat

of Captain Pike. The clothes were

identified, initials on the collar and

on the shirt. Further identifications

are contained of these letters were

found in the clothing.

Where is the widow? We ask her to wait

in India joining.

>> Hi.

>> Yes, you are.

>> My name is Sherlock Holmes. When did you

last see your husband alive? We dined

together last night at the Seo Grim. He

left me shortly after 9:00. I never saw

him again.

>> You are staying

>> at the Seo.

>> You've been in London how long?

>> About a week.

>> And you live where?

>> At the Gravenness.

>> When your husband left you, did he

inform you where he was going?

>> No, but I fanted it was on a matter of

business. He was a man very precise in

his habits.

When midnight came and there was no sign

of him, I became rather alarmed.

>> Midnight should be a late hour for him.

>> Very. As the time went on, I became more

and more worried. At last, I informed

the police. An hour ago, I received a

message to come here, where I identified

the body of my poor husband

>> by the ring.

>> Yes.

>> Did he always wear a ring?

>> That one? Yes. I gave it to him when we

were married.

>> That would be

>> about six years ago. in China. It is an

heirloom belonged to my family and has

been handed down through generations.

>> I see. Permit me to express my sympathy

for your great loss.

>> Thank you. Is that all?

>> By the way, should it become necessary,

shall I communicate with you at the

Graange or the Seavoi

>> through my lawyer?

>> His name,

>> Mr. Tharius Meridu.

Good morning, Mr. Holmes.

Well, what do you make of it?

>> Murder. Unquestionably. Is that all?

That's all I have to say. What do you

think? I think that the lady is a liar.

you. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

The papers are full of the pipe murder

mystery. Seemed to me particularly

senseless and futile. There was no

motive.

>> No motive. Here deep down in the black

heart of Thaddius married you, and

you'll find a motive.

>> You don't mean to suggest that he had

anything to do with it, do you?

>> I suggest nothing.

>> Come in.

>> Inspector is strange to see you, sir.

>> Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson, what's the

matter? You look worried? Worried? I'm

up to my neck

>> again? Before I can begin to finish one

case, I'm plunged into another.

>> That's the penalty of being smart. You

came to see me professionally.

>> Well, unofficially.

>> I see. Ed you win, tails I lose.

>> There's been a bad business during the

night. An old gentleman. You'll find it

a bit of a puzzler.

>> You mean you found it a bit of a

puzzler?

>> We've left everything in status quo,

hoping you'll favor us with an opinion.

>> Dead.

Murder.

>> Suicide.

Come, Watson. Game is a foot.

He was well known as a stamp collector.

>> Very interesting.

What is toes

that leads out to the garden used to

judge by the rusty hinges?

Good morning.

You can see that I have left everything

untouched.

>> The herd of buffalo's fast along. It

couldn't be a greater mess.

>> You can take a smoke. Thank you, sir.

What do you think? There's been murder

done. The murderer was a man.

He was in the prime of life, six feet in

height, has small feet, wear squared to

boots, limp slightly on the left foot,

and smoked stretchy cigars.

>> If it was murder, how was it committed?

>> The assassin was in the house before his

victim arrived. He hid in the recess

behind the window. While there, he

smoked a cigar.

He fired a shot which hit the victim on

the back of the head and then dragged

the body to where you found it. He left

and returned somewhere later to fire a

second shot. This time through the

mouth. You'll find the mark of a boot

clearly imprinted on the congealed

blood. What was his object? To

obliterate the effect of the first shot,

hoping by so doing to transfer the crime

from that of murder to one of suicide.

Bullet number one you will find in the

wall on the farther side of the room.

The other will be found embedded in the

body of the murdered man. Come, Watson.

We mustn't keep Mr. Mary waiting.

>> Mr. Holmes is still waiting, sir.

>> How long has it been now?

>> A fully 2 hours.

That's as it should be. You may show him

now.

>> Very good, sir.

>> Mr. Holmes, this is indeed a pleasure.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but

I had to adjust my lunch.

This is my friend and partner, Dr.

Watson. How do you do? Quest poor

gentleman.

>> Thank you. No.

cigar.

Thank you.

Be seated, gentlemen.

>> I represent Annabelle Mary Murphy.

>> Charming lady, I'm empowered to act on

her behalf.

>> Congratulations.

>> As you are doubts aware, her husband

came to a premature and sudden end.

Dear dear,

>> my client is under an impression that

certain monies belonging to the deceased

are being unlawfully withheld from her.

>> By whom?

>> By you.

>> And you believe this delightful lady?

>> I'm paid to find out.

>> An angry woman is hard to pacify. So I

thought that an amicable discussion with

you would put me in possession of

certain facts with which I could prove

to my client the absurdity of her claim.

>> I see.

Is that all? That is all. Dear, dear,

you're not smoking my cigar. You refused

to assist me. My dear, Mr. Holmes, I

have neither the information nor the

authority. You see, until a few days

ago, I was not aware that your

distinguished client existed.

In my profession, I deal with many cases

impartially and legally without coming

into personal contact with my client.

It won't do, Mr. Medic. Anything else?

>> IW for pencil and paper.

>> Help yourself,

>> Mr. Busy Body Home.

>> By the way, I think you should know that

another client of yours met his death

last night.

Mr. Malcolm Daring

found murdered.

>> Good day, Mr. Mary.

Come on.

coldblooded monster. Well, I've given

him something to think about.

>> Did you see what I saw? His feet.

>> What about it?

>> Well, they were small feet and the

boots.

>> Well, well,

>> a square toad. Square toaded? Really?

>> Yes. And And did you remark the brand of

cigar?

>> Cigar?

>> Pretendably. It was stencled in big

letters on the top of the box.

>> Is that all you observed?

>> Was there anything else?

>> A hundred things. Among them the cipher

to the code. A large book. Watson,

>> I saw no Bible.

>> Would you call Whitaker's Almanacar?

>> Yes, indeed. In that book will be found

the message of the numbers.

Mr. Holmes,

>> Mrs. Pipe,

>> Holmes, what did you write on that sheet

of paper?

>> A long shot in the dark, Watson, but it

did hit a bull.

Miss Forester lives here, I believe.

Tell her that Mr. Mariew wishes to see

her, Mr. Pettius Marido. And hurry,

>> Mr. Maru calling to see you,

>> Miss Forester.

You're looking charming as ever.

I see you received my flowers.

>> Thanks.

>> I sent them to soften the unexpectedness

of my visit. You come about the murder

of Captain Pike?

>> No. Have the police been pestering you?

>> No.

>> I was fortunate enough to keep your name

out of it. Have you seen today's papers?

Shocking. Shocking. Poor old gentlemen.

This is a very wicked world we're living

in, Miss Forester.

And this will necessitate another

meeting. That's why I came myself to

tell you. Safer. Too many eavesdroppers.

Busy bodies concerning themselves with

other people's business.

the same time, same place. Tomorrow

night.

>> Oh, please don't ask me to go to that

dreadful place again.

>> Well, unfortunately, in this case, I'm a

servant carrying out instructions.

You have nothing to worry about. The

thing, not the thing, the word.

>> Oh, this this is my Mr. Stanford, Mr.

Miller. I do. Remember,

I seem to see you every place.

Who is that man?

>> He's my lawyer.

>> I remember seeing him the other night.

What's he doing here?

>> Oh, please don't begin that all over

again. Riley, surely I have a right to

know.

>> Oh, John, I'm so miserable.

It's something that concerns father.

Just before he died, he sent for me. I

remember his words.

On my death, you'll find yourself well

provided for. You'll be rich. Remember

this name.

He repeated it twice.

Married you.

Should he communicate with you, follow

his instructions,

for through him will come this

inheritance.

>> And the meeting three days ago

>> began the fulfillment of Father's word.

Think I'm beginning to understand.

That's what I saw.

He was a black bearded man, ill-dressed,

looked like a friend. How tall? Quite

tall. Could you keep Miss Forest under

observation without her knowing it? I

don't understand.

Is Eileen in danger?

>> In great danger. You are wise in coming

to see me. Should anything unforeseen

occur, get in touch with me. Go to her.

Remember, get in touch with me.

We are getting once. I'm glad to see you

in a more cheerful mood. We've done

remarkably well, I'm pleased. I admit I

could do with a little explanation. I

too feel a little curious. I considered

the claims of Whitaker's Almanac as I

suspected. The large number represented

the page, the second the small number

the column, and the other figures the

message. You'll find it decoded on the

table.

you. Not if you make it soft.

Ah, things are getting worse and worse.

>> I hear tell as though they'll get more

Waser before they gets less Waser.

>> Same as I say.

>> That were a very bad business about

Captain Pike. A very bad business.

>> Same as I say.

I tell it the old range is born under

the air.

>> Lock, stock, and barrel.

>> Same as I say.

>> And I almost broke this old back of

mine. weed in their old garden. And to

look at it now, you'd think I'd spent

all me time in here.

>> Morning, sir. Morning.

How far is the gra from here?

>> Some will tell you four miles, and some

will tell you five, but I say it's more

than four and less than five.

>> Is there any means of getting there

besides walking?

>> Bless your heart. Yes, sir. have an old

trap. I'll honest up old Caesar and all

willy. He'll drive you over.

You take anything to drink.

Wouldn't come a miss scotch. Scotch and

splash. Put a bottle on glasses and a

stra of soda.

>> Come in, sir. Come in.

>> Lord love it. It feels good to be petty

again.

>> You're a godsend to him, sir. He hasn't

had a paying customer for a long time.

Check, sir.

A boy you can say Jack Robinson.

>> Help yourself.

>> Thank you, sir. Just a little drop, sir.

>> Say when

when? Well, here's your very good Elsa.

>> Oh, feel like a new man, sir.

>> Well, and now give the new man a drink.

>> Right out, sir.

When is your very good health again?

>> Good help.

>> Were you born in these parts?

>> I've never seen none other. Work for the

park family of all me till I got tired

of working. Got this old backache from

wig in the flaggy old garden. Then you

would remember the late captain

>> and his father and the old gentleman of

Foley's father.

>> See that dent that belongs to Captain P.

>> A mark caused possibly by the imprint of

a stone.

>> And right you ask many a good-looking

young master Robin got for chucking

stones at me. Sir,

>> sounds as though the young man was

somewhat wild.

>> Wild? He was a holy terror.

>> Ready and waiting, sir.

>> I visited a b cer and he's ready to go.

>> You must tell me some more on the way

over. Better bring the bottle.

Sir, scotch is sure good for the back.

>> Keep the change.

>> Oh, thank you, sir. I'll call the guy,

sir.

Steady Caesar, steady. He's hard to

handle when he's raring to go, sir. You

were saying you can't make English

gentry out of the even Chinese now. Not

in these parts.

>> Very difficult. I imagine when the

captain was alive, did he stay here

often?

>> Until last Tuesday, we ain't seen

nothing on them till close n on to two

years.

H.

>> Shall we uh have one, sir? You take two.

>> Right, sir.

Your old back feels better already.

Magic.

There's the grind now. Looks a trifle.

The worst for wear.

Any servants there now? Well, not what

you might call real servants. This daft

dolly

>> dafted? And well, you might have to be

to keep that place. I kept it for 30

years. Stop a moment. Whoa, Caesar.

I'll walk the rest of the way. I'm in a

hurry. Wait here for me. I won't budge

an inch.

How about you, father?

Did you miss your sen?

>> No, sir.

>> Where is she?

>> London town.

>> I understand that this house is for

sale. I may wish to buy it. I look it

over. I look it over.

That's mistress. Such a good-looker.

Such eyes. She walks like a cat. Such a

figure. Such a fine bit of goods. An

English lady make her look like nothing.

>> Buzz buzz.

Mr. Sweet here.

Aren't you feeling good?

>> It's my heart. Order quick.

>> Just a minute. Just a minute.

Drink this.

>> I'm dying. Get it home for a doctor.

>> Oh dear. We haven't got his phone in the

house.

>> Let's go for one.

>> DOCTOR'S A GOOD FIVE MILES AWAY.

>> FREING. HURRY. HURRY. RUN.

>> All right. I'll run. I'll run.

It's so kind of you to come. Knowing my

late husband as intimately as you did, I

felt I could turn to no better person to

help me through this trying time.

>> Well, you know, anything I can do.

>> You are very nervous today.

>> Well, I can't help it. Look at my hands.

You know, I'm I'm trembling all over

there.

That'll stop the rattling. At any rate,

>> my late husband always spoke of you in

the warmest terms, and you know the high

regard which I've always held you.

>> Oh, Abby.

>> Can you doubt it? You are the only one

who knows my husband's affairs.

Everything has been left in the most

terrible disorder. My house in the

country will be sold.

I wonder if you could spare the time.

Yes.

>> You could be my guest over the weekend

and we could go through his papers

together.

>> Really? You know, with pleasure. I could

do with a bit of a change.

>> We could drive down.

Would tonight be possible?

>> Tonight? No. You see, I got an important

meeting tonight.

>> Then tomorrow?

>> Tomorrow?

May May I make a little confession? You

know, Mrs. Mike, I've always admired you

tremendously.

>> Baker.

>> Oh, it's you. Is it?

>> Who' you think it was?

Where are the others?

>> I'm the first one here.

>> There's a rat among us.

>> We asked face in me seated on a chair.

>> I someone has given away the code.

Anyone supplying information concerning

the scarlet ring will be rewarded.

It's one of us. That's certain. You can

leave a girl out. Can't be that dumb

China.

There remains you, myself

and married. You stop me on my oath or

me. I swear it.

>> I thought that snake was doubing me.

>> It's getting on my nerves.

>> It's like having a nightmare.

>> First Murphy, then Pike, and Dary. Who

be next?

Suppose someone was to supply

information to Sherlock Holmes. Then it

would all come out. How?

>> Oh, Holmes is different from the police.

He protects trials.

>> Holmes works with the police.

>> Put in the back of your mind.

>> I want a fighting church. I want to

leave. This suspense is getting on my

nerves. It's killing me.

>> What suspense?

Well, pray you see the gentleman.

I overheard your conversation. It's most

illuminating. We are not going on.

>> No. And why not pray?

>> I don't want to die like Murphy.

>> Or be found dead like Pike.

>> No. Perhaps you'd like to spend the rest

of your lives in prison. H.

>> No, my friends. Crime brought you

together, and by crime you will stick

together.

Gentlemen, in a few more days, the

Scarlet Ring will cease to exist. will

>> And meanwhile,

you waited for 5 years. What's a matter

of a few days?

>> Yeah. What guarantee is there we'll be

alive to receive it?

>> None.

Of course, if it were a question of your

life without the money, it might be

arranged.

>> How? Letter in the form of a deed of

gift relinquishing your right to any

benefits acrewing to the society.

>> Hey, give up £200,000.

>> It might ensure your life.

>> I'd see you burn first.

Sh.

Well, Miss Forester, this is a pleasure.

Come in.

Would you sit down?

And now to business.

Miss Forester and gentlemen, again I

have the pleasure of presiding at this

meeting.

Hello.

One moment. Mr. Stanford.

Yes.

Where

thanks you come. I followed the heel and

phoned you immediately. She went through

the side door.

There were four others, a lawyer, two

white men, strangers, and a China.

When it comes, it won't come from the

sky.

>> Oh, sad. Oh, I'm on fire. Life's worth

more to me than money.

>> Yours may be. Mine isn't. Should we walk

to the station together?

>> No. No. You go ahead.

She's inside. They left her inside.

Yes. The door

in the fresh air.

>> Okay. I didn't have time. Get her home.

Don't let her out of your sight. God,

>> I MISS YOU. SAVE ME. SAVE ME.

>> Speaking as a medical man, it is

extremely dangerous to run at your age

and with your weight. Could I could I

have a glass of water, please? Sit down.

>> Thank you. I must apologize for bursting

in like this, Mr. Holmes.

>> I'm Dr. Watson. I don't know when Mr.

Holmes will be back. Please wait. Thank

you.

Come here.

Sit down.

See you.

Any luck?

I have here the securities

easily negotiable for a million pounds.

China man yet is devoted to his

mysteries.

Elus's generous present will satisfy

him.

On account of Holmes, I cannot impress

upon you too sufficiently the necessity

for speed. Everything must be finished

tomorrow night at the graange.

I will make all the arrangements.

You've got to help me, Mr. Holmes. If

you don't, I'm a doom man. or 10 minutes

ago an attempt was made on my life. You

see I live in Ely Street. I was on my

way there. I was about to cross the road

and some instinct made me leap back and

as I did a car driven with terrific

speed and coming on the wrong side of

the road whizzed by me. Now I escaped

was a miracle. Did you see the occupant

of the car?

>> Yes. As it flashed by me, I caught a

glimpse of the driver. A black bearded

man. Is there anyone who would benefit

by your death?

>> Yes. four persons. You see, Mr. Holmes,

there's a an estate to be settled up.

And if I should go out, will they get my

share? Is any one of them capable of

committing a crime?

>> Yes. Three of them. How much is your

share this state?

>> £200,000.

Naturally, you would wish to live to

enjoy it.

When were you in China, L?

I was never in China.

>> Calm Kamza in the tattooing above the

right wrist.

>> That that was done in England.

>> You must be mistaken. That particular

yellow is to be found only in China.

What made you come to me?

>> Well, you see, Mr. O, I I heard of your

reputation. How did you know my address?

Aren't you here in answer to my

advertisement?

Were you not returning from Limehouse?

Are you not a member of the Scarlet

Ring? Is it not a fact that three of

your members are met with very sudden

ends, and you are terrified, lest their

fate befall you? You must be the devil

himself. ANSWER ME. YES, MR. HOLMES, but

I'm helpless. I'm up against some power

that no precaution can guard against.

Go straight home and lock yourself in

your house. But it's very old and easily

broken into the cellar bomb proof. Hide

there. On second thought, he'll see what

we restrict. Take a revolver, Watson.

>> Mr. Do you think there's any hope?

>> Obey my instructions implicitly, and I

can promise you almost a chance.

Tomorrow, leave town.

>> You see, Mr. O, I had intended that. You

see, I know a little place in the

country, very secluded, miles away from

any place. It belongs to the widow of an

acquaintance of mine. The lady is an

orient asiatic. As a matter of fact,

she's Chinese. Mrs. P.

When you arrive at the graange near

Shou,

you'll probably be given the room next

to the ladies.

You'll find a door connecting the two

rooms. Keep it locked. Arrive there

neither before nor

head it.

>> Pretend when? Oh, Mr. Holmes. Go

straight to your room. If you value your

life, then open the door.

Baker,

I got him, too.

Why dear? Says he for me. And that's the

last I see. Doll of a regular quirant

free with his money. Same as I say.

>> He must have been a pickle when he was a

lad.

Dolly ran all the way to fetch Dr.

Smallwood and she and Smallwood nburst a

blood vessel trying to get to him and

when they found him he wasn't there

and there are you one of them ever set

eyes on him again same as I say

company evening gentlemen evening will

make way for the gents good evening

gentlemen good evening good evening take

anything to drink wouldn't come a miss

Scott and splash scotch and splash How

did you know, sir? Thank you, sir.

>> Give me your order, gentlemen. Put a

bottle on the table. Glasses and siphon

soda.

What brings you gentlemen around these

earports? This friend of mine belongs to

the medical profession. A patient of his

is a steak. An old gentleman. A very

dangerous character. That's the reason

for all these wards. I know gentleman

wearing a cape stoops a bit big in the

valley. You've seen him. Have I seen

him? Yes, sir. THE DOLLY AT THE GRAVE

seed him and Dr. Small would order seed

him, but he never set eyes on him. As

sure as I'm standing here, sir, he sat

right there. Indeed, it was the day

before yesterday.

>> Doctor, we're on the right set. Say

when? When?

>> When is your very good answer?

>> Another beer. Thank you very kindly,

sir.

Pay the bill, Watson.

Take care, this gentleman. Come along.

What do you have?

>> Well, I'm here hoping that we get him.

>> Who?

>> Dash my buttons if I know. My mind's

never been in such a fog.

>> It's time to leave.

>> Greggson should be there by now. We'll

have the grain so well surrounded a cat

can get through without being seen. Come

along then,

Mr. home. Something terrible has

happened. Miss Barister has disappeared.

>> Disappeared? But I told you to guard

her.

>> But I couldn't understand your telegram.

>> Telegram? What telegram?

>> Instructing me to meet you at DOA.

>> Are you mad? I

>> I don't know. I'm almost insane with

worry.

>> Go on.

>> Well, I arrived at Do and suspected it

was a hoax. I turned to London

immediately. Fortunately, I have a

racing car. Arriving there, I went

straight to Een's house. She'd gone. I

may told that she left in the early

afternoon with a strange woman. A

Chinese woman?

>> Yes. I called you with too late. When I

gave my name to your housekeeper, she

told me where I could locate you. Well,

Mr. Holmes, what could have happened?

So, where could she be? Come straight.

There's not a moment to lose.

>> Mr. Holmes is late.

>> Are you sure you're not mistaken?

>> I had written instructions to bring you

here. You saw them.

>> Perhaps the fog. Are you certain to be

here? If not tonight, then tomorrow

morning.

>> Strange.

Stop.

You open the door and I'll choke the

life out of you.

>> Mr. Wilson, have you lost your reason?

Tell him if he opens that door. He'll

never lift over another.

>> Who is it?

>> Telegraph. Why?

>> Telegraph or Miss Forester?

>> I'll give it to her.

Good news.

Excuse

me.

>> What is it? What is it?

>> What does it mean?

>> I'm going to bed. Miss Forester, when

you go to your room, lock your door

and keep it locked.

What's the matter?

I'm rather chilly.

>> Who's that?

>> It's me, sir.

>> Did you deliver the telegram?

>> Yes, sir.

>> To Miss Forester herself?

>> I give it to one lady to give to the

others, sir.

>> Thank you. Good night.

>> Good night, sir. You let me go to her?

>> Wait. I'll never do it again. What?

Stand about all night without a flask?

Holmes, over there.

Drop your gun.

>> Well, inspector,

>> I've checked up on all points. No one

could have slipped through.

>> Good night, my dear. My bedroom is just

across the corridor. If you should want

me for anything, don't hesitate to call

me. Thank you.

>> Good night. Good night.

Mr. Wilson, are you in bed?

>> Yes. Yes. Sorry. Good night.

>> Good night.

Who's that?

He's here. Came by boat. When? 15

minutes ago.

>> Why didn't you let me know soon?

>> It's this fog. Our men lost their

bearings.

>> Watch the front of the house. Come.

Come.

>> All right. You stay here. Very good.

I thought you would never come to this

cursed pog. Where's girl?

>> At the end of the corridor.

>> Good. Wilson,

>> he's locked his door.

>> Well, get him out. offering any

inducement

in the house.

It's Eileen. That's Eileen.

Mr. Wilson, QUICK. MISS BISTER,

SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS HAPPENING.

My darling, are you all right?

>> Help.

Help.

Break it down.

Holmes, are you all right?

>> Quite all right. Thank you, Watson. Take

them downstairs.

as I suspected.

>> Captain Pike,

>> you were charged with the murders of

James Murphy, Malcolm Daring, and

William Baker. And this woman as an

accomplice, take him away.

>> I saw him killed.

>> You saw him pretend to be killed. It was

he who attacked you.

>> He was shot.

>> No shot broke that window. He broke it

himself.

>> But the blood,

>> animal blood on a sponge. Med you of

course was in on it. Mr. Holmes, there's

a second man outside. Came by car. I

thought it my duty to detain him. Bring

him in.

>> Well, well, well, Mr. Holmes, this is

indeed a surprise. What are you doing

here? Well, surely a man has a right to

visit his own house. I own the mortgage

on this place. I've invited some friends

down for the weekend to discuss some

business. It won't do me. Arrest him.

>> Well, this is rather a high-handed

procedure. What are the charges, Holmes?

The gravest possible.

That of being accessory to the murders

of James Murphy, Malcolm Daring, and

William Baker. With the attempted murder

of Jab Wilson and Miss Eileene Forester,

>> rather a tall indictment. I think you'd

better have their bracelets. May I help

you? I have more than enough evidence to

hang.

>> I think not. But then who can tear?

>> I say who can tell?

>> This will make promotion astray.

>> I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Holmes,

but how you did it beats me.

>> Simple enough. Simple.

>> Simple.

>> By the examination of the footsteps in

the garden of Mr. Daring's house. I was

tolerably certain of the murderer's

description. It answered in every

particular to that of Pike, furnished me

later by the wars.

I was equally certain that the body in

the morg was not that of Pike. You

remember the ring? There was no mark to

indicate that it had remained on that

finger for a period of six years as

stated by his mistress. His wife,

Mistress, Watson. Mistress? Well, you

ought to know. and the Scarlet Ring.

>> Perhaps you will remember the

disappearance of the Mandarin's gems in

China some years ago.

>> Perfectly.

>> To realize our gems of international

repute would be a ticklish matter.

>> Very. That'd have to be broken up piece

by piece and then disposed of carefully

and slowly.

>> Exactly. The Scarlet Ring was formed by

the instigators of the original crime to

protect the receiving end.

>> What was Pike's motive?

>> Green. The last survivor will become the

recipient of the entire booty. I think

it will be found that Pike was the

original ring leader. But Mr. Wilson

could furnish us with an answer to that.

Not one word.

>> We shall never forget you, Mr. Holmes.

>> Rather not, sir. You must invite me to

the wedding.

>> Perhaps you'll give me a wedding.

>> I appreciate the compliment, but I never

give a lady away, except sometimes

professionally. Come, doctor. They'll

send you when they need you.

Amen.
