00:02:15Piper! Piper!
00:02:39Finished!
00:02:59Oh!
00:03:11What do you make of it, Watson?
00:03:12Huh?
00:03:15I believe you've got eyes on the back of your head, Holmes.
00:03:17Well, I have a well-polished coffee pot in front of me.
00:03:21Mrs. Hudson said it was left last night while we were out. What do you make of it?
00:03:26Ah.
00:03:29By his name, at least, we know.
00:03:33I think Dr. Mortimer is a successful elderly medical man.
00:03:41Well esteemed, since those who know him gave him this mark of their appreciation.
00:03:47Yeah.
00:03:49I think he's a country practitioner, does a good deal of visiting on foot.
00:03:55Friends of C.C.H. Hmm.
00:03:59I should guess that to be the local hunt.
00:04:01Oh, bravo. Bravo, Watson!
00:04:03You know, I am bound to say you habitually underrate your abilities.
00:04:08Hmm.
00:04:11It may be that you are not yourself.
00:04:13Luminous, but you are a conductor of light.
00:04:16Some people, without possessing genius, have a remarkable power for stimulating it.
00:04:23I confess that, my dear fellow, I am very much in your debt.
00:04:28Thank you, Holmes.
00:04:33But I am afraid that most of your conclusions will overloan you.
00:04:38Age.
00:04:40Surely hospital.
00:04:43C.C. suggests cheering cross.
00:04:45I mean, if so, I would postulate a young man, under 30, amiable,
00:04:51absent-minded, unambitious,
00:04:55and the possessor of a dog.
00:04:57Can I see the stick?
00:04:58What? Oh, thank you.
00:05:02Yes.
00:05:08Larger than a terrier.
00:05:12Smaller than a mastiff.
00:05:21Hmm.
00:05:28That's right.
00:05:31A curly-haired spaniel.
00:05:36Dr. Mortimer?
00:05:38Thank you, sir. Thank you.
00:05:40I wasn't sure whether I'd left it here or at the shipping office.
00:05:43The SS had brought it to UC Docks today at Tilbury.
00:05:48Ah.
00:05:50You interest me very much, Mr. Holmes.
00:05:53I'd hardly expected so dolico-catholic a skull,
00:05:56or such well-marked supraorbital development.
00:06:00Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure?
00:06:04Please, Dr. Mortimer.
00:06:06I cast of your skull, sir, until the original becomes available.
00:06:09Ha, ha, ha!
00:06:12It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess, I covet your skull.
00:06:18Behave and sit down, Dr. Mortimer.
00:06:21What?
00:06:26Yes, good boy.
00:06:28Well, I presume that it was not your phrenological passion which drew you to Baker Street.
00:06:34Unfortunately, it was not, sir.
00:06:37What?
00:06:40I have here...
00:06:42I have here the statement of a certain legend which runs in the Baskerville family.
00:06:47Baskerville?
00:06:49Yes, I am an executor of Sir Charles Baskerville's will,
00:06:52and found it amongst his papers.
00:06:54It concerns Hugo de Baskerville,
00:06:56who was lord of the manor at Grimpen on Dartmoor.
00:06:59Dartmoor?
00:07:00Some two hundred years ago.
00:07:02The document is somewhat later.
00:07:08Learn then from this story to be circumspect in the future
00:07:12that those foul passions whereby our family have suffered
00:07:15may not be loosed again to our culpable ruin.
00:07:198th of November, 1742 is an intriguing preamble.
00:07:24I read of Sir Charles Baskerville's death.
00:07:28From a medical point of view, it was a poorly informed article.
00:07:32No, thank you.
00:07:34He died of dyspnea and cardiac exhaustion.
00:07:38Were the conditions linked or were they parallel?
00:07:40Oh, they were linked, in my opinion.
00:07:42There was some...
00:07:44some facial distortion.
00:07:47Caused by the cardiac pain, presumably.
00:07:50Yes.
00:07:52You sound doubtful.
00:07:54It was not merely facial distortion.
00:07:56Well, in the year 1692, Hugo de Baskerville abducted a young girl.
00:08:01But she escaped across the moor that night.
00:08:07Cursing!
00:08:10He uncannelled his pack of hounds
00:08:13and hunted her down like a wild animal.
00:08:17When his three drunken companions followed,
00:08:20they found the girl in a deep dip or goyal,
00:08:27dead from fear and fatigue.
00:08:31They also confronted the cause of her death,
00:08:34a huge, demonic hound.
00:08:38Even as they looked,
00:08:40the hound tore the throat out of Hugo de Baskerville.
00:08:43One companion died that very night of what he saw,
00:08:48and the other twain were broken men for the rest of their days.
00:08:52This hound is supposed to have haunted the family since then,
00:08:55due to the general misfortune of the lie.
00:09:00Well, this may appeal to your lurid taste in fiction, Watson.
00:09:08It's a fairy tale, sir.
00:09:09Of course, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:11But fairy tales would not survive without a kernel of truth, huh?
00:09:16On the night Sir Charles died,
00:09:19I arrived at Baskerville Hall at first light.
00:09:28I shall tell you what I found.
00:09:31No more or less.
00:09:35What do you believe, sir?
00:09:37I had been concerned about him for some time.
00:09:40He had become obsessed with the legend of the hound.
00:09:43By the Somerhaus?
00:09:46He believed he had heard the hound itself upon the moors.
00:09:48He even believed he had seen it.
00:09:54At the time, I took such morbid fancies
00:09:56as part and parcel of Sir Charles's pathological condition.
00:10:00And now?
00:10:03I no longer believe that to be the case.
00:10:06There, sir. We didn't like to move him, sir.
00:10:09Once we knew...
00:10:10Yes. Yes, quite, Barrymore.
00:10:17A sad occasion, Mrs. Barrymore.
00:10:19An unhappy vigil for you.
00:10:21He was our hope, Doctor.
00:10:25Hope of the country hereabouts.
00:10:30He brought the world to us.
00:10:33He was our hope.
00:10:54Before Sir Charles ran up the alley,
00:10:56he had evidently stood at the gate for at least ten minutes.
00:11:00How do you know that?
00:11:02The ash had dropped twice from his cigar,
00:11:04and there were also three spent matches.
00:11:07Impressed by Dr. Mortimer.
00:11:10Was there anything else?
00:11:12Yes.
00:11:14Footprints?
00:11:16A man or a woman's?
00:11:19Mr. Holmes.
00:11:22Oh, the footprints of a gigantic heart.
00:11:26Several people have seen a creature upon the moor,
00:11:28a huge creature, ghastly, spectral.
00:11:31I've cross-examined two of them,
00:11:32hard-headed countrymen both, and their stories tally.
00:11:37I want you to advise me what I should do with Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:11:43Henry Baskerville has spent his life in America.
00:11:46He has come over on the S.S. Gibraltar.
00:11:48I'll send a direct to Baskerville.
00:11:50Very good.
00:11:51Thank you for having me aboard, Sir Henry.
00:11:53Sir Henry.
00:11:55I still haven't gotten used to that title.
00:11:57Was there any other claimant upon Sir Charles' estate?
00:12:00None.
00:12:01His youngest brother, Roger,
00:12:02died in Central America of yellow fever some 30 years ago.
00:12:06Northumberland Hotel, Northumberland Avenue.
00:12:09Sir Henry is the last of the Baskervilles.
00:12:14Why did you not consult me immediately?
00:12:18There is a realm in which the most accomplished detective is helpless.
00:12:22There are certain things here which are impossible to reconcile
00:12:25to the settled order of nature.
00:12:29If you believe this to be supernatural,
00:12:31you'll find more help from a priest.
00:12:35I'm not a priest.
00:12:38If you believe this to be supernatural,
00:12:39you'll find more help from a priest.
00:12:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:53How can I assist?
00:12:56And I'll have an answer, dammit!
00:12:59He's in his purse, sir.
00:13:01About his boot.
00:13:08I wonder if that fellow can't find my old black boot.
00:13:11Surely it was a new brown boot.
00:13:13No.
00:13:14Last night they took one of the brown ones.
00:13:16Today they've sneaked one of the black.
00:13:18I'm sorry, Mortimer.
00:13:19I'm sorry to trouble you with this nonsense,
00:13:21but this is a first-class hotel, dammit!
00:13:23Oh.
00:13:24Hello.
00:13:25Mr. Sherlock Holmes would you say this?
00:13:28I think it is worth troubling about, as a matter of fact.
00:13:31You do?
00:13:32Why?
00:13:34Because it's inexplicable.
00:13:37Good.
00:13:39That's good.
00:13:51My God!
00:13:52Have you got a cold, Watson?
00:13:54It's this poisonous atmosphere.
00:13:56This is a bit thick, I suppose.
00:13:58Thick?
00:13:59It's intolerable.
00:14:03You've been at your club all day.
00:14:05I know that.
00:14:10Where do you think I've been?
00:14:12Oh, here, clearly.
00:14:13Clearly.
00:14:14Oh.
00:14:16I've been in Devonshire.
00:14:18In spirit?
00:14:19Quite so.
00:14:21I sent out for a man from Stanford.
00:14:24Ah.
00:14:26Now, see here.
00:14:31Baskerville Hall.
00:14:34Grimpen.
00:14:35Just a clutter of cottages.
00:14:38Two moorland houses.
00:14:39Farm houses.
00:14:42Laughter Hall.
00:14:44Merripit House.
00:14:45I mean, that is all.
00:14:47Well, this represents marshland.
00:14:51And these barrels.
00:14:54Some prehistoric settlement or burial ground.
00:14:58A tin mine.
00:15:01Disused, is that.
00:15:04And all the rest...
00:15:07is waste.
00:15:10As far as the great convict prisoner of Princeton.
00:15:18It is a worthy setting if the devil did decide to dabble in the affairs of man.
00:15:24Then you yourself are inclining towards a supernatural explanation.
00:15:33You'd better send word to Dr. Mortimer that we breakfast with him tomorrow.
00:15:40It arrived by post this morning.
00:15:47So you think out little puzzles, Mr. Holmes.
00:15:50This one wants more thinking than I am able to give it.
00:15:53Posted yesterday?
00:15:54Yes.
00:15:57A joke is like it's not.
00:15:58So, Mr. Henry, has anything interesting happened to you since you've been in London?
00:16:01No, I don't think so.
00:16:03Have you been followed?
00:16:05What?
00:16:06I seem to have walked right into a dime novel.
00:16:09Why should anyone follow me?
00:16:11That letter was delivered to the hotel.
00:16:15You are being followed, sir.
00:16:18If you value your life and your reason, keep away from the moor.
00:16:24The issue, I suggest, is whether it constitutes a friendly or an unfriendly warning.
00:16:29That is surely impossible to determine.
00:16:32There are various features which may help.
00:16:34The envelope, for example, if somewhat crumpled, is presentable.
00:16:40Its contents, mostly, are not.
00:16:45The letter has been torn neatly enough along a fold.
00:16:49And the leader article in the Times, the Lady Bourgeois print, is unmistakable.
00:16:54It has been chosen from which to cut the message.
00:16:57But the message is awkwardly cut with inappropriate short-bladed scissors.
00:17:01And the gluing of the print to the paper is smudged and misaligned.
00:17:06Merci.
00:17:16Only half a sheet of paper, and yet the watermark is clear.
00:17:19Huddleston, Quayle.
00:17:22You will find that paper in a hundred middle-grade hotels.
00:17:26But not, I think, here.
00:17:29A first-class hotel would have paper of a greater weight.
00:17:34The ink is institutional.
00:17:40That also suggests a hotel.
00:17:44What can we determine from this?
00:17:50Pocket. Fluff.
00:17:53I infer that the person who wrote this message is staying at a nearby hotel.
00:17:59He is neat of habit, and started the task methodically.
00:18:05But then he began to fear discovery.
00:18:07He rushed it through.
00:18:11And put the result into his pocket until such time as he posted it.
00:18:15It is true that fearful people threaten.
00:18:20But my interpretation is that this is a friendly warning.
00:18:24Because it seems a risk was incurred in its execution.
00:18:29Bravo, Mr. Holmes. You fulfill your reputation, sir, no mistake.
00:18:34But if you're right, this fellow's afraid.
00:18:39Then he's afraid not only for his own skin,
00:18:43but what might happen to me.
00:18:48Quite so.
00:18:50Dr. Mortimer, I think it is time that you explained.
00:19:09Well, now you know the facts, Sir Henry.
00:19:13The question is whether or not you should go to Dartmoor.
00:19:17There's no devil in hell, nor no man on this earth
00:19:20who's going to prevent me from going to the home of my own people.
00:19:24Then we'll see how we can mitigate the danger.
00:19:30You really believe there's danger?
00:19:33I think that if there is, then it is considerable.
00:19:37You certainly cannot go alone.
00:19:40Dr. Mortimer returns with me?
00:19:42He has his practice, and he lives many miles distant.
00:19:45You'll come yourself?
00:19:47I have to stay in London. A blackmail case.
00:19:50I recommend my friend Watson.
00:19:57That's very kind of you, Doctor.
00:20:01And I do hope we shall get to hear from you.
00:20:04I will.
00:20:06Dr. Mortimer, very, very good luck.
00:20:08Thank you.
00:20:10Yes, of course.
00:20:29Watson!
00:20:34This way!
00:20:40This way!
00:21:11Who was that man?
00:21:13I have no idea.
00:21:15Well, how did you know someone had been following Vesperman?
00:21:17How else did they know so immediately where he was staying?
00:21:21At least they will not continue to follow him now.
00:21:29When a crisis comes, Watson,
00:21:32and it will, report to me...
00:21:36Watson, do you know what the residue
00:21:38of Sir Charles Baskerville's estate was?
00:21:41No, I don't.
00:21:43Close on a million.
00:21:45The state for which a man might play a dangerous game.
00:21:52Such a sum has a definite materiality.
00:21:59I have no idea.
00:22:01A definite materiality!
00:22:06And yet...
00:22:08To all things in heaven and earth.
00:22:11We are men of science, Holmes.
00:22:15And yet...
00:22:24It's an ugly, dangerous business, Watson.
00:22:28Believe me, I shall be very glad
00:22:30to have you back safe and sound in Baker Street once more.
00:22:35Thank you, Holmes.
00:22:57Holmes...
00:23:27My dear Watson, I will not bias your mind
00:23:29by suggesting theories or suspicions.
00:23:32Simply report facts to me
00:23:35in the fullest possible manner.
00:23:38Concentrate your attention upon the following.
00:23:58Above all...
00:24:00Avoid the moor.
00:24:02When, as the old parchment quaintly put it,
00:24:05the powers of evil are exalted.

00:33:08Good. Mind you call it Baskerville Arms.
00:33:12Yes, sir.
00:33:14Thank you, sir.
00:33:18Thank you.
00:33:31That man is frightened.
00:33:34Yes.
00:33:36Shop.
00:33:44Shop.
00:33:52Turning into a rough night.
00:33:56I shall walk over to the post office at Grimpen in the morning.
00:34:01Ah.
00:34:03No, Holmes asked me not to let you leave the house without...
00:34:07This shall take care of any dog that I may meet in your absence.
00:34:11Even armed?
00:34:16All right. Tomorrow morning she'll find me at home.
00:34:20I'm safe at home, am I?
00:34:23That's what Holmes believes.
00:34:33Good night.
00:34:55It's an ugly and dangerous business, Watson.
00:34:59I shall be glad to have you back
00:35:01and reconciled in Baker Street once more.
00:35:16It's a realm in which the most accomplished detective is helpless.
00:35:21There are certain things here which are impossible to reconcile
00:35:26to the settled order of nature.
00:35:31I must go.
00:35:40Above all, avoid the moor,
00:35:44where, as the old parchment quaintly puts it,
00:35:48the powers of evil are exalted.
00:36:02Do you know what the residue of Sir Charles Baskerville's estate was?
00:36:06Close on a million.
00:36:09Such a sum has a distinctive materiality about it.
00:36:31Good morning.
00:36:47Good morning.
00:36:49How are you today?
00:36:51Oh, very bad, thank you.
00:36:53Here you are.
00:36:54Thank you, sir.
00:36:55Thank you.
00:36:57Goodbye.
00:36:58Goodbye, sir.
00:37:12Dr. Watson!
00:37:15Excuse my presumption.
00:37:17Dr. Mortimer pointed you out to me,
00:37:20from the window of his surgery as you passed.
00:37:23Possibly he's told you my name.
00:37:24Oh, possibly he's told you my name.
00:37:26Stapleton, of Maryford House.
00:37:27Yes, indeed. How do you do?
00:37:30We were concerned.
00:37:32Franklin, Mortimer and I.
00:37:34Concerned?
00:37:35Lest Sir Henry should not come.
00:37:38You know the legend of the fiend hound.
00:37:41We thought it might seize his imagination,
00:37:43just as it seized poor Sir Charles's.
00:37:47How is Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
00:37:50Dr. Watson, you are here.
00:37:52It follows, then, that Mr. Holmes is interested.
00:37:56I'm afraid I cannot answer your question.
00:38:00Well, may I ask
00:38:02if he is going to honor us with a visit himself?
00:38:04He cannot leave town.
00:38:05Other cases engage his attention.
00:38:08I assure you, I am simply here to visit my friend Sir Henry.
00:38:11I do not need help.
00:38:13I apologize for the intrusion.
00:38:18A moderate walk along this path
00:38:20brings us to Maryford House.
00:38:21I wonder...
00:38:24Perhaps you would spare me an hour, Dr. Watson,
00:38:27that I might have the pleasure of introducing you to my sister.
00:38:30I am expected back at Baskerville Hall.
00:38:32I'm sure an hour will not hurt.
00:38:35Thank you, Mr. Stapleton.
00:38:41It was entomology, was it, that brought you to the moor?
00:38:44Indeed.
00:38:46Although I delight in it for its own sake, it is
00:38:49so vast, so...
00:38:51so barren,
00:38:53so mysterious.
00:38:55Well, there, for instance,
00:38:57what do you make of that?
00:38:59Wouldn't be a rare place for a gallop.
00:39:03That is the great Grimpen Mire.
00:39:07Full step there means death,
00:39:09to man or beast.
00:39:11Only yesterday I saw one of the moor ponies wander into it.
00:39:15Never came out.
00:39:16I could see his head for quite some time,
00:39:19straining out of the bog hole.
00:39:21Sucked him down at last.
00:39:24Even in the dry season, it is a danger to cross it,
00:39:27but after these recent rains,
00:39:29it is an awful place.
00:39:31And yet,
00:39:34I can find my way to the very heart of it,
00:39:37and return alive.
00:39:40But why should you wish to visit such a horrible place?
00:39:43You see the low hills there, beyond it?
00:39:47They're really islands.
00:39:49Flora there is undisturbed,
00:39:51which means, of course, that rare species can breed there,
00:39:54and one of them, a subspecies, like Haenody,
00:39:57is unique to the place.
00:39:59In fact, I...
00:40:02I'm credited with its discovery.
00:40:04Really?
00:40:06The moor is full of noises.
00:40:08The moor? What was it?
00:40:11The peasants say it is the hound of the Baskervilles,
00:40:14calling for its prey.
00:40:16You don't believe such nonsense, surely?
00:40:19Did you ever hear the boom of a bittern?
00:40:21No.
00:40:23A bird is said, not heard,
00:40:26to be a bittern.
00:40:28A bittern?
00:40:30Yes.
00:40:31A bittern?
00:40:33No.
00:40:35A bird is said, now, to be confined to
00:40:38certain Norfolk fens, but why not here?
00:40:41I've heard its cry described as being something between
00:40:44a foghorn and a soul in torment.
00:40:47What do you think?
00:40:50Ah.
00:40:52Hayali.
00:41:01Hayali.
00:41:23Go back.
00:41:25Go straight to London, instantly.
00:41:28For God's sake, do as I ask.
00:41:31The moor again.
00:41:33Shh, my brother is coming.
00:41:35Misstep?
00:41:37Get away from this place at all costs.
00:41:40Do you see that orchid?
00:41:43Um...
00:41:45Yes, yes, I do.
00:41:47It's a pity you came so late.
00:41:49Our best orchids are nearly over.
00:41:51Jack!
00:41:54You have introduced yourselves, I see.
00:41:56Yes.
00:41:58I was telling Sir Henry it's a pity he has missed
00:41:59the beauties of the moor.
00:42:01Oh.
00:42:03Were I Sir Henry, Miss Stapleton, I...
00:42:05I'm sure I would not miss your beauty,
00:42:07but I'm afraid I'm not.
00:42:09Sir Henry, that is.
00:42:11Merely his friend, my...
00:42:13Dr. John Watson, at your service.
00:42:16Did you catch your butterfly?
00:42:18No.
00:42:20Hayali flies like a witch, I'm afraid.
00:42:24Ah, there.
00:42:27Oh, yes.
00:42:29You must forgive and forget
00:42:31my foolish outburst, Dr. Watson.
00:42:33I cannot forget, Miss Stapleton.
00:42:35You must!
00:42:37Sir Henry is my friend.
00:42:39His welfare is a very close concern of mine.
00:42:41Tell me why you are so eager
00:42:43that he should return to London.
00:42:45You know the story of the hound.
00:42:47I do not believe such nonsense.
00:42:49But I do!
00:42:51If you have any influence with Sir Henry,
00:42:53take him away!
00:42:55I fear that unless you can give me
00:42:57more definite information than this,
00:42:59I will not say anything definite.
00:43:01For I do not know anything definite.
00:43:03Miss Stapleton,
00:43:05I would ask you one more question.
00:43:07If you meant no more than this
00:43:09when you first spoke to me,
00:43:11why were you so eager that your brother
00:43:13should not overhear what you said?
00:43:15There is nothing to which he or
00:43:17anybody else could object.
00:43:19My brother is very anxious
00:43:21to have the hall inhabited.
00:43:23He thinks it's for the good
00:43:25of the poor folk upon the moor.
00:43:27He would be very angry
00:43:29if I said anything which might
00:43:31induce Sir Henry to go away.
00:43:39Any luck?
00:43:41Afraid not.
00:43:43Flies like a witch
00:43:45and so beautiful.
00:43:47Pale clouded yellow.
00:43:49I have a number of them, of course.
00:43:52I must show you my collection.
00:43:59The English Lepidoptera are my field.
00:44:04I have made a particular study
00:44:06of those insects which inhabit
00:44:08the margins of heath and marsh.
00:44:15A magnificent collection
00:44:17and the work of a serious scientist.
00:44:20Even the Exotica,
00:44:22I must mention a brilliant creature
00:44:24called Morpho Pellidaes Limpida,
00:44:27was dated and catalogued
00:44:29with the care he applies
00:44:31to his personal field,
00:44:33the British Lycanidae.
00:44:37One of which
00:44:39is unique to the moor.
00:44:42I must also report
00:44:44that the new brown boot
00:44:46has turned up.
00:44:48Barrymore found it amongst
00:44:50Sir Henry's luggage
00:44:52when he unpacked.
00:44:54Miss Stapleton is very handsome
00:44:57and on Tuesday
00:44:59he is going to the basketball hall
00:45:01with all our neighbours.
00:45:03So Sir Henry,
00:45:05who chafes a little
00:45:07at the restrictions you have imposed upon him,
00:45:09will have a chance
00:45:11to judge her beauty for himself.
00:45:23We are also to meet
00:45:25Dr Mortimer's wife
00:45:27and the old vicar of Grimpen
00:45:29and Mr Franklin,
00:45:31an amateur astronomer of some note
00:45:33who has a reputation of being litigious
00:45:35to a fault.
00:45:37Law is law
00:45:39and I need to teach them.
00:45:41I have established a right of way
00:45:43slapped through the middle
00:45:45of old Middleton's Park.
00:45:47Case decided today.
00:45:49We must teach these magnets
00:45:51they cannot ride roughshod
00:45:53over the rights of commoners.
00:45:55Case decided today.
00:45:57Today, Mr Franklin?
00:45:59They are saying in Fernworthy
00:46:01that you had the wood there
00:46:03closed to the villagers.
00:46:05Also today.
00:46:07A red letter day, as I said.
00:46:09True, sir.
00:46:11I shall be burnt in effigy
00:46:13tonight in Fernworthy
00:46:15but I have the case against them.
00:46:17Infernal people seem to think
00:46:19there are no rights of property.
00:46:21They can swarm where they like
00:46:23with their picnic papers and bottles
00:46:25but why should they complain?
00:46:27No one goes to the wood now.
00:46:29I've heard.
00:46:31The hound walks abroad upon the moor
00:46:33the hound of the Baskervilles, sir Henry.
00:46:35I've heard.
00:46:37Is it a phenomenon
00:46:39you believe in yourself, Mr Franklin?
00:46:41Ask the vicar.
00:46:43Astronomic and forensic matters
00:46:45are my domain.
00:46:47Demonic matters are his.
00:46:50Is it a hound of hell, vicar?
00:46:52Or what?
00:46:55Yes.
00:46:57An interesting question.
00:47:00Whatever it is that has been seen
00:47:02it is undoubtedly something.
00:47:06Our farrier Thomas Chubb
00:47:08is not a man given to visions
00:47:11and he saw something out there.
00:47:14A dog, he said
00:47:16but the size of a calf
00:47:18and
00:47:20I do not think
00:47:22local hysteria
00:47:24is an adequate explanation
00:47:26myself.
00:47:29I pray nightly
00:47:31that it remove itself from us
00:47:34whatever it is
00:47:37that we all may sleep the more soundly.
00:47:42Yes.
00:47:45I believe it is seldom the murderer
00:47:47who frightens the folk.
00:47:49In Grimpen they believe
00:47:51he is still upon the moor.
00:47:53We are too ready to condescend
00:47:54and attribute superstition
00:47:56to these poor people
00:47:58when they are in fact subject
00:48:00to a natural and sensible fear.
00:48:04Bravo, Miss Stapleton.
00:48:06Bravo.
00:48:08This hellhound's existence
00:48:10would not survive a court of law.
00:48:12Mere hearsay.
00:48:14Bring the thing before the bench
00:48:16in a full blaze of jurisprudence, say I
00:48:18then I will believe in it.
00:48:24Thank you.
00:48:27Thank you.
00:48:29Thank you.
00:48:31Thank you.
00:48:33Thank you.
00:48:36Thank you for a lovely evening.
00:48:38Good night, Doctor.
00:48:40It was very good to see you.
00:48:42It was very good to see you.
00:48:44Oh, my God.
00:48:46Oh, my God.
00:48:48It's very nice to see you here.
00:48:50Get you to a much better place.
00:48:51Sir Henry.
00:48:52Sir Henry.
00:48:53Sir Henry.
00:48:54Sir Henry.
00:48:55Sir Henry.
00:48:56Sir Henry.
00:48:57Sir Henry.
00:48:58Sir Henry.
00:48:59Sir Henry.
00:49:00Sir Henry.
00:49:01Sir Henry.
00:49:02Sir Henry.
00:49:03Sir Henry.
00:49:04Sir Henry.
00:49:05Sir Henry.
00:49:06Sir Henry.
00:49:07Sir Henry.
00:49:08Sir Henry.
00:49:09Sir Henry.
00:49:10Sir Henry.
00:49:11Sir Henry.
00:49:12Sir Henry.
00:49:13Sir Henry.
00:49:14Sir Henry.
00:49:15Sir Henry.
00:49:16Sir Henry.
00:49:17Sir Henry.
00:49:18Sir Henry.
00:49:19Sir Henry.
00:49:20Sir Henry.
00:49:21Sir Henry.
00:49:22I need your quatro.
00:49:23Ejano.
00:49:24It-s A-night Get her in to!
00:49:29Get her in!]
00:49:33Careful.
00:49:34Ejano!
00:49:35Ejano!
00:49:36What happened?
00:49:37Did you get hurt?
00:50:41♪
00:50:56♪
00:51:01Hey!
00:51:04Paramore?
00:51:05Yes.
00:51:07He's been there half an hour.
00:51:17What's he doing?
00:51:18I don't know.
00:51:22Look!
00:51:25Out of the mall.
00:51:35No.
00:51:37No.
00:51:40No.
00:51:54It was Adam, Sir Henry.
00:51:56He must not go on for more in darkness.
00:51:58When the powers of evil are exalted, Doctor,
00:52:00bogeys to frighten children, man.
00:52:02Come on.
00:52:03We have the chance of getting to the bottom of this business tonight.
00:52:32There.
00:52:39There.
00:52:49Watch it.
00:53:03You all right?
00:53:04Yeah.
00:53:06I thought to shoot, but I couldn't.
00:53:09Come on.
00:53:14My God.
00:53:22Do you believe there's any truth in these words?
00:53:25No.
00:53:27No.
00:53:29No.
00:53:32There's truth.
00:53:37Look!
00:53:41Yes.
00:53:42Paramore?
00:53:45But it's not seldom, at any rate.
00:53:49We were followed in London, or we're followed still.
00:53:53Come on.
00:53:54Let's get back to the house.
00:54:02Come on.
00:54:18What's this all about, Barrymore?
00:54:20Sir, it may...
00:54:21It may seem that we have betrayed your trust.
00:54:24See?
00:54:25Damn it, Barrymore, you have!
00:54:27Sir, Sir, it's no fault of his, Sir.
00:54:29He didn't want it, it's me.
00:54:31It's me and mine.
00:54:33The poor creature came to me for help, Sir.
00:54:36How could I refuse after what they have done to him?
00:54:41Seldom, Mrs. Barrymore.
00:54:42I don't understand.
00:54:43Why should he come to a respectable woman?
00:54:48He's her brother, Sir.
00:54:51What?
00:54:52It's true, Sir.
00:54:55He dragged himself here, half-starved.
00:54:59And what would you expect?
00:55:01We fed him.
00:55:03We took food out for him, Sir, no more than you would for a dog.
00:55:08We hoped he'd go.
00:55:10But the light has been there, night after night.
00:55:14Is this true, Barrymore?
00:55:16Yes, Sir.
00:55:18Have you any conception what this man did, Barrymore?
00:55:21Yes, Sir.
00:55:23But he... he's a broken man.
00:55:25He's a broken man.
00:55:27They done surgery, Sir, to tame him.
00:55:32He's like a child, Sir.
00:55:33Please.
00:55:36Oh, please, Sir.
00:55:38Please, please, Sir, please.
00:55:40Mrs. Barrymore, please.
00:55:41Oh, please, Sir.
00:55:42This is not dignified, please.
00:55:47By your leave, Sir,
00:55:49arrangements have been made.
00:55:52He'll be out of the country in a few days.
00:55:55I beg you, Sir, say nothing to the police.
00:56:03What do you think, Doctor?
00:56:05You say he's harmless now, Barrymore.
00:56:08Yet he threw a rock at us.
00:56:09As a child might throw a stone, Sir.
00:56:12The murderous heart has gone out of him.
00:56:16He's but a frightening baby now, Sir.
00:56:21This is an apt description.
00:56:23Please.
00:56:24He will be harmless.
00:56:31Very well.
00:56:33Please take your wife to your room.
00:56:36We'll say nothing about this matter.
00:56:43Thank you, Sir.
00:56:44Thank you, Sir.
00:56:53Thank you.
00:57:09I thought we had a chance of getting to the bottom of this business.
00:57:13All we seem to have done is compound a felony.
00:57:24I'm glad, though, that you heard that sound on the moor.
00:57:29I was beginning to think I'd dreamt it.
00:57:33I was in the territories once.
00:57:34I heard wolves up there.
00:57:38But nothing to freeze the blood like that sound tonight.
00:57:42Are you convinced it's a hound?
00:57:44I am.
00:57:46I would to God Holmes was here.
00:57:50When has he not come?
00:57:54And yet, Holmes, when daylight and birdsong return,
00:57:59the black imaginings of the night evaporate.
00:58:04Even Dr. Mortimer's assiduous visits, accompanied as they are
00:58:08by constant talk of bones, our mortal residue,
00:58:12fail to sour the beauties of the moor in autumn.
00:58:16We are, however, still far from the heart of the mystery.
00:58:20The question which most persistently nags at me
00:58:24is who is the man on the tall?
00:58:29With his identity known, I feel we should have the key to the mystery.
00:58:34And if he is, we should have the key to the mystery.
00:58:38And if he is, we should have the key to the mystery.
00:58:41With his identity known, I feel we should have the key
00:58:45to this fatal riddle within our grasp.
00:58:52Meanwhile, I have discovered a streak of amiable tenderheartedness in my host.
00:58:59So guilty did he feel at nearly shooting his servant's murderous brother-in-law
00:59:04that he has given Barrymore many of his excellent American clothes.
00:59:08Determined, as he now is, to play the role of English squire,
00:59:12in dress as in anything else.
00:59:15Too much too American. I'm turning over a new leaf. You take him.
00:59:19Thank you kindly, sir.
00:59:38Very smart, sir, Henry.
00:59:40Oh, yeah.
00:59:42Well, I'm going to stroll over to Merripit House.
00:59:45I thought I'd invite Stapleton and his sister,
00:59:48or rather, I should say,
00:59:50Miss Stapleton and her brother to luncheon on Monday.
00:59:54Well,
00:59:56I know you won't want me to come with you there,
00:59:59but Holmes insisted that...
01:00:01Now look here, my friend. Holmes could not have foreseen certain developments.
01:00:06You'd make a very civil gooseberry.
01:00:08But no.
01:00:10I'm afraid I have to go alone.
01:00:32London next stop.
01:00:35London next stop.
01:01:05London next stop.
01:01:35London next stop.
01:02:06Baskerville!
01:02:08Baskerville!
01:02:10How dare you, sir,
01:02:12make advances to my sister in such a fashion?
01:02:14Jack!
01:02:16I'm sure the lady gave you no reason to presume upon her good intentions.
01:02:19We welcome you into our circle, sir,
01:02:21and you repay the hospitality by forcing your disgusting attentions upon her.
01:02:25No, but I assure you, sir, my intentions...
01:02:27Away, sir! Away to the hall!
01:02:29Beryl!
01:02:35Beryl!
01:02:37Beryl!
01:02:39Beryl!
01:02:41Beryl!
01:02:43Beryl!
01:02:45Beryl!
01:02:47Beryl!
01:02:49Beryl!
01:02:53Beryl!
01:02:55Beryl!
01:02:57Beryl!
01:02:59Beryl!
01:03:01Beryl!
01:03:03Beryl!
01:03:06Hello, Watson.
01:03:08Where have you dropped from?
01:03:10I took it upon myself to follow you.
01:03:12I'm afraid my duty to Holmes overrode my tact.
01:03:19I see.
01:03:21Well,
01:03:23I hope they're not selling tickets in Grimpen.
01:03:28I assume you saw what happened?
01:03:30Mm-hm.
01:03:32Did he ever strike you as a bit crazy, this brother of hers?
01:03:37Not particularly.
01:03:39Oh, why does me?
01:03:41What's he getting so heated about?
01:03:43What objection can he have to me as a brother-in-law?
01:03:45I mean, he can't object to my worldly position, sir.
01:03:48It's got to be me myself.
01:03:51Oh, I don't know.
01:03:53Do you see it?
01:03:55Not at all.
01:03:57Oh, me.
01:03:58Oh, thanks.
01:04:00He won't let us be together, not for a moment.
01:04:04You must realize...
01:04:08Oh, I don't understand.
01:04:10There's a light in her eyes
01:04:12that speaks louder than words.
01:04:15I know it. I know it in my heart.
01:04:18But he treats me as if I was a...
01:04:21as if I was a mad seducer in an old melodrama.
01:04:24No, it's absurd.
01:04:27Perhaps...
01:04:30What?
01:04:32I was just thinking that
01:04:34this business with the hound and the family curse and so on,
01:04:39if Stapleton partly believes it's true,
01:04:43perhaps he might want his sister not to be...
01:04:46Yes, I know.
01:04:51Just till the business is resolved.
01:04:58Yes, of course.
01:05:00Well, shall we walk home together?
01:05:02The Royal Observatory, please.
01:05:32I am forever in your debt.
01:05:35Oh, no, not at all.
01:05:37Well, good day.
01:05:39Good day, Sir Henry.
01:05:46I'm sorry.
01:05:48I'm sorry.
01:05:50I'm sorry.
01:05:52I'm sorry.
01:05:54I'm sorry.
01:05:56I'm sorry.
01:05:58I'm sorry.
01:06:00I'm sorry.
01:06:02I'm sorry.
01:06:21Well, well.
01:06:23What happened?
01:06:25Stapleton.
01:06:27He still thinks Fowler's crazy,
01:06:29but he's just given me the most complete apology
01:06:31a man's ever likely received in his life,
01:06:33and he's invited us to dinner tomorrow.
01:06:36Friday, indeed.
01:06:37Good.
01:06:39I look forward to it.
01:06:42Ah, the post at Grimton.
01:06:45Just so.
01:06:59Thank you, Sir.
01:07:29Thank you.
01:08:00May I have a word, Sir?
01:08:03Of course.
01:08:07You...
01:08:08You've been very good to us, Sir,
01:08:10and I should like to do the best I can for you.
01:08:15There's something I found out, Sir.
01:08:17Yes?
01:08:19We found it after the inquest.
01:08:22What was it?
01:08:24I don't know.
01:08:26We found it after the inquest,
01:08:29and told a mortal soul.
01:08:30Didn't know how.
01:08:33About Sir Charles's death, Sir.
01:08:40You know how he died?
01:08:42No, Sir.
01:08:44Well, what then?
01:08:46I do know why he was at the gate at that hour.
01:08:49Why?
01:08:51To meet a woman, Sir.
01:08:53A woman?
01:08:54Are you sure?
01:08:55Oh, yes, Sir.
01:08:57What was her name?
01:08:59I can only give you her initials, Sir.
01:09:03Yes, it was something my wife found.
01:09:05She was cleaning out this very room,
01:09:07Sir Charles's study, Sir,
01:09:08and in the grate there,
01:09:09she found this scrap of paper,
01:09:11all twas old, burnt, but...
01:09:14Well, it could still be read.
01:09:17From the shine in the writing,
01:09:19if you know what I mean, Sir.
01:09:21Of course, I understand.
01:09:22Please go on.
01:09:24Well, she called to me, and...
01:09:27I wrote it down.
01:09:31Please.
01:09:33Please, as you are a gentleman,
01:09:36burn this letter,
01:09:38and be at the gate by ten o'clock.
01:09:43Then the initials,

01:10:52Good afternoon, Dr. Watson!
01:10:58Mr. Franklin?
01:10:59Come along up! I shall order you tea.
01:11:03Thank you.
01:11:04You're here to solve the Baskerville mystery, are you not?
01:11:07Well, I have a telescope.
01:11:09I see things on the moor. Surely you should know about them.
01:11:14I see things on the moor. Surely you should know about them.
01:11:16I see things on the moor. Surely you should know about them.
01:11:18I see things on the moor. Surely you should know about them.
01:11:31A striking portrait.
01:11:36Laura.
01:11:38Your daughter, Mr. Franklin.
01:11:39Yes.
01:11:41Yes, that is my daughter.
01:11:44The woman she has become is not.
01:11:47This way, Doctor.
01:11:49Ah, that.
01:11:50Disinherited her.
01:11:52I'm sorry to hear it.
01:11:53You are. What do you suppose such a thing does to a father?
01:11:56This way.
01:11:58Married her, seduced her, sir.
01:12:01An artist.
01:12:03So-called.
01:12:04Not that artist. That artist earned his living.
01:12:07Her artist was too grand to earn his living.
01:12:09Artist? Wasteful!
01:12:10Lyons. A fellow called Lyons.
01:12:13Ever heard of him?
01:12:14No, actually.
01:12:15Laura Lyons.
01:12:16Nobody has. After her money. My money.
01:12:20I was burned in effigy in Fernworthy last week.
01:12:23You predicted that, I remember.
01:12:25Exactly so, because I know the slackness of authority hereabouts.
01:12:28The case of Franklin V. Regina will bring the matter before the attention of the public.
01:12:33I told the police they would have occasion to regret their treatment of me, and already my words have come true.
01:12:38How so?
01:12:40I could tell them what they are dying to know.
01:12:43But you're not going to.
01:12:44Certainly not.
01:12:45It's a case of poaching.
01:12:47Poaching? Fiddlesticks!
01:12:49The convict, sir. Selden the mad stabber.
01:12:53You don't mean to say you know where he is?
01:12:55Near enough.
01:12:57It has never occurred to the police that the way to catch the man was to find out where he got his food, and so trace it to him.
01:13:04Barry.
01:13:05His food is taken to him by a child.
01:13:07A child?
01:13:08Why not? I have observed the child for more than a week.
01:13:15It is in the nature of children to form perverse allegiances.
01:13:19Surely it's more likely to be the child of a moorland shepherd taking him his lunch.
01:13:25Flocks, move! Quick!
01:13:28Dr. Watson, quick!
01:13:32Yes, I see him.
01:13:45Ah!
01:14:00Dr. Mortimer!
01:14:02Dr. Watson!
01:14:03I have something marvelous to show you.
01:14:06Isn't it beautiful?
01:14:10Splendid.
01:14:11The most complete of its kind I have yet found.
01:14:13I found it myself once more. The laborers aren't here today.
01:14:16It is quite, quite beautiful.
01:14:36Ah!
01:14:38If there's one animal on this planet which I cannot abide, it is a rabbit.
01:14:42Really?
01:14:43Rabbits burrow.
01:14:45Have you any conception of what a family of rabbits can do to the chronology of a dick in a single night?
01:14:52You are on your way to the necropolis.
01:14:54I could show you round, if you like.
01:14:56The necropolis?
01:14:58Most people think that the necropolis is a place where rabbits live.
01:15:02The necropolis?
01:15:04Most people think it a Neolithic village, but I have reason to believe it a burial ground.
01:15:09Some most interesting features.
01:15:11Ah, I should be glad of your company. There's someone bivouac near there.
01:15:16Who is it?
01:15:17It's the man who's been at Sir Henry's heels since he landed here.
01:15:20I can't think his motives are benevolent.
01:15:23So, if you come, I should be obliged if you bring that gun you handle so well.
01:15:29There may be some danger.
01:15:31If there's to be danger, then two guns will be better than one.
01:15:36Yes.
01:15:39Do you know Laura Lyons?
01:15:41Old Franklin's daughter. Yes, she's a patient of mine.
01:15:44She lives in Coombe Tracey. He's cut her off, you know, without a penny.
01:15:48Do you know if she was acquainted with Sir Charles?
01:15:51It's possible.
01:15:53After her marriage went wrong, she was able to set up for herself in a small way, as a typist.
01:15:58Sir Charles may have made that possible.
01:16:00He was a man who fostered many good causes.
01:16:03She may have been one of them.
01:16:05What sort of a painter was Lyons?
01:16:07Oh, brilliant.
01:17:31Doctor Watson is a laughter whore.
01:17:34Perhaps it is you who's been dogged by this secret man.
01:17:37And not Sir Henry at all.
01:17:41What do we do?
01:17:44I intend to wait.
01:17:49I'm afraid I can't wait.
01:17:51I'm afraid I can't wait.
01:17:53I'm afraid I can't wait.
01:17:55I'm afraid I can't wait.
01:17:57I'm afraid I can't wait.
01:18:00Shhh.
01:18:02That's enough.
01:18:04Come on.
01:18:29It's a lovely evening, Doctor. I really think you would be more comfortable outside than
01:18:46in. When I see a cigarette stub marked Bradley, Oxford Street, I know my friend Watson is
01:18:57in the neighbourhood. Be careful with that gun. I thought you were in Baker Street working
01:19:04out that case of blackmail. That is what I wished you to think. I deserve better at your
01:19:16hands, Holmes. You use me and do not trust me. My presence would have warned our very
01:19:20formidable opponents and put them under our guard. It was essential that you and Sir Henry
01:19:25believe me to be London all the time and behave accordingly. Doctor Mortimer. Mr. Holmes,
01:19:29how long have you been in Devon? I fancy you saw me on my second night when I was foolish
01:19:36enough to show myself against the moon. All my reports have been wasted. No, no, no. Here
01:19:44they are. And very well thumbed, I assure you. I had to subvert the local post office.
01:19:54Brilliant, my dear fellow. Brilliant. You must, I know, have much to discuss and I must be getting
01:20:03home. Please, one question, Mr. Holmes. Are you any closer to discovering what, if anything,
01:20:09the hound is? I am. Does it exist? It does. Thank you, Doctor Mortimer. Mr. Holmes. Good day,
01:20:29Doctor Woodson. Thank you for your help. Now let me see what meagre refreshment I can provide.
01:20:40Cartwright, the little chap from the express office. I brought him down with me to look
01:20:48after my simple wants. A loaf of bread and a clean collar. I've discovered that there's a
01:20:54woman living in Cootracey with the initials LL. Ah, yes, Franklin's daughter. Lord Alliance. Our
01:21:01researchers have been running along the same lines. Did you know that she's seeking a divorce
01:21:07from her husband? But she lacks the means to carry it through. It is a costly business. Do try my
01:21:12steels. Ah, Doctor Mortimer thought that Sir Charles might have been a discreet benefactor.
01:21:18Really? That's interesting. Please, Watson. It's quite disgusting, Holmes. Yes. Yes, it is.
01:21:37Well, it's better when it's hot. Did you know there was a close intimacy between Lord Alliance
01:21:42and the entomologist, Stapleton? No, I did not. Yes, they meet, they write. She's no doubt
01:21:50counting on becoming his wife. That is the most powerful weapon in our hands. How? I don't
01:21:57understand. Because Miss Stapleton is in reality Stapleton's wife, not his sister. His wife? Yes,
01:22:03it was she who sent us that morning to the Northumberland Hotel. Why this elaborate deception?
01:22:09Don't ask me for particulars, Watson, but it is murder. Refined, cold-blooded, deliberate murder.
01:22:16What made you do it? He is a genuine entomologist, but that mention of his sole claim to fame, his
01:22:27discovery of a subspecies like Canidae, that was his fatal moment. There can only be one
01:22:34discoverer of a species. That pinpointed him. It has been a hard trail.
01:22:57It's Sir Henry!
01:23:27It's Selden. Sir Henry's clothes were the poor devil's death. Poor devil, indeed. It was only a half-life in truth. No one
01:23:51must know for the moment. We must hide the body. Sir Henry must know nothing of hearing the hound. He'll have a
01:24:20better nerve for the ordeal he must undergo tomorrow. Sir, this is Baskerville Hall. One moment, Watson.
01:25:20It's Stapleton. He's at Baskerville. Sir Charles's brother, who died of yellow fever in Costa Rica, did not die childless. We have him, Watson, we have him. And I dare swear that by tomorrow night, he will be fluttering in our net as helpless as one of his own butterflies.
01:25:50I fear that Watson and I must go to London. London? I think we will be more useful there at this present juncture.
01:26:09Excuse me. Might I have some fresh coffee? Certainly, sir. But I thought you were going to see me through this business.
01:26:24Trust me, my dear fellow. I do. Tell Stapleton that I would have been happy to come with you, but that urgent business required me to be in town. I don't understand. Should I not come with you to London? Why should I stay here alone?
01:26:50No, you must stay. And do exactly as I tell you. Of course I will. Drive to Merripit House, send the truck back, and let it be known that you intend to walk home. Across the moor? At night?
01:27:14If I had not every confidence in your nerve and courage, I would not suggest it. It is essential that you do this. Then I will do just what you say. Take a path, exactly on the path from Merripit House to the Grimpen Road. It is your natural way home.
01:27:37And when do you intend to leave?
01:27:43Immediately after breakfast.
01:27:47Thank you very much. Sir.
01:28:06Thank you.
01:28:36Thank you.
01:29:02Mrs. Lyons?
01:29:03Yes?
01:29:07So, you admit that you asked Sir Charles to meet you at the gate at ten o'clock, but you say that you did not keep the appointment.
01:29:17I did not.
01:29:18You do realize that was the very art of his death?
01:29:23Is that an accusation, sir?
01:29:27I'm only asking if you can forge a connection between the two events.
01:29:32There is no connection.
01:29:35Mrs. Lyons, we believe this to be a case of murder.
01:29:40And the evidence may implicate not only your friend, Mr. Stapleton, but his wife as well.
01:29:46His wife?
01:29:49Mrs. Lyons, the person who has passed for his sister is really his wife.
01:29:59His wife?
01:30:05Yes.
01:30:35Thank you.
01:31:05Mr. Holmes.
01:31:11Mr. Stapleton offered me marriage on condition I could obtain a divorce from my husband.
01:31:21He told me he...
01:31:25Oh, he has lied.
01:31:29He has lied and lied and lied.
01:31:35Why should I preserve faith with him who never kept any with me?
01:31:44Ask me what you will. There is nothing I shall hold back.
01:31:49You have said Sir Charles helped you to set yourself up as a professional typist.
01:31:54Presumably that was after your husband deserted you.
01:31:58Yes.
01:32:00Sir Charles knew my father would not help me.
01:32:04One thing I swear to you.
01:32:06When I wrote the letter, I never dreamed of any harm to the old gentleman who had been my kindest friend.
01:32:16I entirely believe you, madam.
01:32:19And Sir Charles used Stapleton as an intermediary?
01:32:24He did not like to be seen to be doing good.
01:32:28And the letter that you sent to Sir Charles on the day of his death?
01:32:34I needed money for my divorce.
01:32:38I had heard he was leaving for London.
01:32:40And the sending of the letter was suggested by Stapleton?
01:32:45He dictated it.
01:32:49The reason he gave was that Sir Charles would help with the legal expenses of my divorce.
01:32:57And he dissuaded you from keeping the appointment?
01:33:00And swore me to silence concerning it.
01:33:03He said that the death had been a very mysterious one,
01:33:06and that I should certainly be suspected were the facts to become known.
01:33:12He frightened me into silence.
01:33:17You have had a very fortunate escape, Mrs Lyons.
01:33:24You have been near the edge of the precipice.
01:33:27You have been near the edge of the precipice.
01:33:37Students of criminology will remember the incidents in Grodno in Little Russia in the year 66.
01:33:43And of course there are the Anderson murders in North Carolina.
01:33:47But this case...
01:33:50possesses features which are entirely its own.
01:33:54Dr Watson tells me that you handle a gun.
01:33:57I am fairly proficient.
01:33:59Well it was you who first brought this case to our attention.
01:34:03It is only right that you be with us at the climax.
01:34:10Thank you.
01:34:23Thank you.
01:34:33While Dr Mortimer and I guard the path, you watch the house, Watson.
01:34:54I don't like it.
01:34:57There's fog in the air.
01:34:59It's in the hollows already.
01:35:06Be careful, Watson.
01:35:24I'm so pleased you could come.
01:35:27It's a pity Dr Watson had to return to London.
01:35:30Nevertheless, I'm sure we'll have a pleasant evening together.
01:35:54If you'd excuse me for a moment, Sir Henry.
01:35:58I shan't be long.
01:36:08Help!
01:36:11Help!
01:36:13Please!
01:36:16Help me!
01:36:23Help me!
01:36:46Sir Henry was still inside the house when I left.
01:36:50It's getting late.
01:36:53You say Beryl Stapleton was not there?
01:36:54No.
01:36:55I cannot think where she might be.
01:36:57And there were only two places laid for dinner.
01:37:00The fog is getting thicker all the time.
01:37:03Courage, Sir Henry.
01:37:06Brave it.
01:37:24Please.
01:37:38Please come.
01:37:46Dr Watson!
01:37:53Help!
01:37:54Help!
01:37:56Help!
01:38:22You're a brave man.
01:38:23Doctor.
01:38:26It's all right, Seth.
01:38:28It's all right.
01:38:31The hound got past us.
01:38:34Now, if you can manage it,
01:38:37we must get back to the house as soon as possible.
01:38:44Phosphorus?
01:38:54No!
01:38:59No, Sir! No!
01:39:01Sir!
01:39:03I protest, Sir!
01:39:05It's out, Sir!
01:39:06Sir, you are not allowed!
01:39:07Watson!
01:39:11Stop, Sir! Stop!
01:39:24The door is locked.
01:39:26Help!
01:39:28Help, please!
01:39:30Help!
01:39:31Please, help!
01:39:33In here!
01:39:35Help!
01:39:37Help!
01:39:39Help!
01:39:41Help!
01:39:43Help!
01:39:45Help!
01:39:47Help!
01:39:49Help!
01:39:51Help!
01:39:54Help!
01:40:06She's badly hurt.
01:40:15The brute.
01:40:23All right.
01:40:54I thought this man loved me.
01:40:58He loves nothing.
01:41:02Where is he?
01:41:04The police have...
01:41:05He escaped.
01:41:10He will go to his island in the mire.
01:41:24I must take care.
01:41:27Take care.
01:41:54No.
01:41:59No.
01:42:01No!
01:42:08Help me!
01:42:10Please!
01:42:12Somebody help me!
01:42:13Help me!
01:42:26Help me!
01:42:44Holmes had established that Stapleton had bought the dog from Mangles of the Fulham...
01:42:49Ross!
01:42:50Mangles of the Fulham Road in London.
01:42:54Ross and Mangles of the Fulham Road, London.
01:43:02He took it on the North Devon line and walked a great distance over the moor to his home.
01:43:06As we know, he eventually kenneled it at the heart of the Grimpen Mire.
01:43:10The Grimpen Mire.
01:43:11The Grimpen Mire.
01:43:13How on earth did he expect to claim the inheritance if this creature had mauled Sir Henry to death?
01:43:18Mauled.
01:43:19Very good word, Watson.
01:43:21Through intermediaries, Beryl Stapleton said that he intended to return to Central America...
01:43:26and conduct his claim upon the estate from the depths of Costa Rica.
01:43:30Having established his identity as a basketball through the British authorities there.
01:43:35Of course, he had no interest in the estate. He simply wanted the money.
01:43:38What about the boot?
01:43:39He stole the boot presumably to have an after of Sir Henry's clothes.
01:43:43To set the hound on him.
01:43:44That is why the new boot would not do.
01:43:47Sir Henry had not worn it.
01:43:49Watson, we are late.
01:43:55I have tickets for the Hubenhoe Cover Garden.
01:43:59A little dinner at Marcini's on the way.
01:44:02Wonderful homes.
01:44:04Piper! Piper!
01:44:06Who wants an evening Piper?
01:44:33Piper!
