01:40I will not say that out of uniform, don't you, Miss Cushen?
01:43But it's nice to see you out of it.
01:47Sarah! Sarah!
01:53Oh!
01:55You must be the other Miss Cushen.
01:57It's a snappy day today, for all three of you.
02:01Yes, yes it is. Of course it is.
02:03Of course it is. Of course it is.
02:34Just coming.
02:35Just coming.

03:16Body snatchers strike in North London.
03:19Are we dealing with a modern version of Birkenhead?
03:22Well, sadly, the anatomy schools don't need the help of body snatchers at this time of the year.
03:27They're well stocked with corpses from the poorhouses.
03:30What do you think, then?
03:32I don't know.
03:34Some outlandish cult, perhaps?
03:37Have you been consulted on a subject, Holmes?
03:40Come in, Hawkins!
03:42Ah, Hawkins.
03:44Make yourself at home. Have a cup of coffee.
03:47Thank you.
03:48Have you brought those descriptions?
03:50Yes, yes I have.
03:53Bodies so far exhumed.
03:55Albert Cotter, 48.
03:57Fish Porter of Shadwell, heart disease.
04:00Martin Rubery, 54, cirrhosis of the liver.
04:03And we don't know much about him, except it was thought he was an amateur pugilist of some sort in his youth.
04:08Jimmy King, 39, Covent Garden porter, cerebral hemorrhage.
04:15You will continue your researches?
04:16If you say so, Mr. Holmes.
04:18I do say so.
04:19And keep your eye on the premises of a certain Murdoch Gull.
04:24Yes?
04:25Murdoch, do you think?
04:27He's the fence for anything out of the ordinary.
04:29He could be our man.
04:32One more thing, Mr. Holmes.
04:34The men and I would be very honoured if you'd drop by Christmas Eve.
04:39We try to get a bit festive at Christmas, and we'd like to invite a few guests.
04:46Christmas?
04:49Christmas?
05:08Mary?
05:13Mary?
05:19There.
05:20It's a start.
05:22Mrs. Hudson.
05:24Mr. Holmes?
05:25How am I supposed to think up yet another person for Watson?
05:28I mean, every year you inflict this agony on me.
05:30Well, it's quite simple, Mr. Holmes. You go to Gammages.
05:33Gammages?
05:34Yes, it's in Holborn, a departmental store.
05:36The people's emporium.
05:38You'll be quite spoiled for ideas.
05:42Gammages.
05:46Mrs. Hudson!
05:47How dare you take my Espinestra?
05:52I do dare.
06:17Afternoon, Miss Cushing. Season's greetings, eh?
06:30Good afternoon, Wilkinson.
06:31Looks like we're in for a bit more stay before long.
06:33I do hope not.
06:47What is this, Monsieur Jacote?
07:11Madame Cézanne...
07:12Our arrangement is that you may sit by the parlour fire after dinner.
07:17Otherwise, I'd be obliged, when you're in the house, if you would keep to your room.
07:23Your sister Sarah gave me permission, Madame.
07:26This is my house, not my sister's.
07:29Even if she said it, which I doubt.
07:31You doubt my word?
07:33I'd be most surprised if my sister gave the run of the kitchen to my lodger.
07:37You'd be surprised what your sister gives.
07:40Very surprised.
07:42I think I'd be obliged if you left the kitchen now, Monsieur.
07:46I don't think you hear what I'm saying.
07:48Susan!
07:53Marcel! Oh, Susan! It has worked! They have made me warden at the mission!
07:58Now you ask her what she gave me.
08:00Did you give Monsieur Jacote permission to help himself in here, in the kitchen?
08:07I believe I did once.
08:09I didn't realize...
08:10Ask her!
08:12What do you mean? What's going on?
08:13Ask her!
08:15You English are such hypocrites!
08:17Now you tell her what you gave me.
08:19What? What is all this about?
08:21Will someone please tell me what's going...
08:35I see.
08:38I see.
08:40Very well.
08:43You are warden now.
08:45Go and live there then.
08:47You'll have quarters at the mission.
08:49Go there.
08:51I don't want you under my roof.
08:53Go!
08:54I won't have you here.
08:56I won't!
08:58And as for you, Monsieur, you will leave my house immediately.
09:02Immediately!
09:04Or I will call the police.
09:08Your belongings will be packed and left at the trademan's entrance for your collection.
09:12How dare you!
09:15You sound exactly like mother.
09:17What did I do?
09:18I thought I'd heard the last of that sort of thing when she died.
09:20How dare you talk about mother like that.
09:22It's just as well I am like her.
09:24I don't know what would happen to this family otherwise.
09:26Oh!
09:27You hold us all together, do you?
09:29How splendid you are.
09:32Do you realise that Mary has gone away without telling anyone?
09:36Good.
09:38She's showing some spirit at last.
09:40You call that good?
09:43Sometimes I think you're not just feckless.
09:46I think you're deliberately irresponsible.
09:48Mary is a married woman.
09:50Well, no thanks to you.
09:52You stood in her way to the last.
09:55Jim Brown,
09:57You stood in her way to the last.
10:00Jim Brown was never good enough for our family, was he?
10:04The daughters of Major Cushing, R.E.
10:07Never mind he was a gambling wastrel.
10:10Our father was...
10:12Quiet!
10:13If anyone has disgraced this family, it's me.
10:16I warn you.
10:18One day this diet of respectability is going to make you ill.
10:22You...
10:26You are so horrid.
10:38Ah, dear Mrs. Holmes.
10:39Mr. Holmes?
10:40The doctor has someone with him.
10:42Miss Susan Cushing.
10:44Follow them in.
10:53What's that?
10:55That is a Christmas tree.
10:58It's a Norway spruce.
11:00This is Miss Cushing.
11:06Miss Cushing is concerned about her sister, Mrs. Browner.
11:12Miss Cushing's younger sister lives not far from her, just east of Camberwell.
11:17Mrs. Browner visits her every Friday for tea,
11:20unless she sends excuses, which is most unusual.
11:24Last Friday, the 19th,
11:27Mrs. Browner failed to send excuses or to arrive,
11:30so Miss Cushing has made inquiries at her lodgings,
11:33but Mrs. Browner has not been seen there since last Thursday.
11:36Sounds to me as though she's disappeared.
11:38Evidently, Holmes.
11:40There could be one or two reasons for her disappearance.
11:43Yes, I know.
11:44Either because she wished to disappear
11:46or because somebody else wished her to disappear.
11:48Do you know any reason why anyone else should wish her to disappear?
11:52Mary?
11:53None.
11:55She's the most lovable of creatures.
11:57Everyone loves her.
11:59As to her whereabouts,
12:01I suggest that you try the Missing People's Agency.
12:05I could find you a list of addresses.
12:07There.
12:09Charming, isn't it?
12:11Slightly improved on that rather sad Picea d'Excel, sir.
12:24Sarah.
12:26Sarah.
12:27Sarah.
12:31Sarah.
12:33Sarah.
12:35Sarah.
12:38What possessed you?
12:40You've wrecked it all.
12:41The waiting possessed me.
12:43You drive me mad, Sarah.
12:45Sometimes I think I'm possessed.
12:47Where are you now?
12:48Some filthy hole near the hospital.
12:51Thanks to your sister.
12:52I will not let her forget this.
12:56I'll need a reference if you're going to find a decent place to stay.
13:00Are you going to Belgium still for Christmas?
13:02Yes. My aunt called me. I'll stand.
13:04Well, when you come back, I'll write a reference for you.
13:08I'm warden of this place. It'll count.
13:12I love you.
13:17Come to me after Christmas.
13:35DOOR KNOCKS
13:53DOOR KNOCKS
13:57The post, Miss Cushing.
14:00Shall I put the parcels under the tree?
14:02Yes, please.
14:11Nothing from Mrs. Browner yet?
14:13Nothing as yet, no.
14:16Did Sutton's include the Madeira in their delivery today?
14:19Yes, Miss Cushing.
14:21Everything's ready for this evening.
14:23Thank you.
14:33All the best of the season, Mr. Bradbrook.
14:35Thank you very much. And the very same to you.
14:49Miss Cushing.
14:51I say, Miss Cushing.
14:54Mr. Bradbrook.
14:56I dare say your sister, Sarah, will be joining us?
14:59I'm afraid not, Mr. Bradbrook.
15:01She's warden of the Mission Hostel now.
15:04Her duties to her residence will keep her there.
15:07I shall see her only on Sundays now, I fear.
15:13I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Bradbrook.
15:15Oh, no, no, no, you haven't. Not at all.
15:18Come now, Mr. Bradbrook.
15:20It's Christmas Eve.
15:22To make up, we shall open our presents from under the tree
15:25straight after supper instead of at midnight.
15:27What do you say?
15:29Very well, yes. Yes, fine, splendid.
15:31Let's do that.
15:33Gladstone would be pleased at least there's a treat somewhere for him.
15:54Welcome, gentlemen. Very good of you to come.
15:57Has he been arrested? No, Mr. Holmes, he's come to complain.
16:00Has he indeed? Yeah, he's spotted our surveillance of him.
16:03He doesn't like it. You won't go up?
16:05Oh, dear me, no.
16:08Join the party.
16:27Come on.
16:48Come on.
16:50Yes, come in.
16:54Oh, my dear fellow, you're wearing it.
16:56Well, I had to try it.
16:58What's so good about it?
17:00It stretches forward over the handlebars if you need it.
17:03Where else did you find it?
17:05Gamma G's People's Emporium.
17:07Thank you.
17:09Hi. Magnificent.
17:11Oh, yes, do come in, dear fellow.
17:13Please, sit down.
17:16What is the news of the grave robberies?
17:18The Camberwell force have been on to me.
17:21An incident down there. They were wondering if it had any connection.
17:24I don't think it does, myself, but I'd value your opinion, Mr. Holmes.
17:28We need to get this nasty little joke solved and out of the way.
17:32Joke?
17:34Respectable lady, in company, opening her parcels, Christmas Eve.
17:38One of them's a bit odd. It's full of salt.
17:41She empties out the salt. What's in it?
17:43Two freshly severed human ears.
17:46We think it was a medical student. She had a medical student as a lodger.
17:50Post-mortem anatomy can make certain individuals thoroughly callous.
17:54She threw him out just before Christmas. Bit of a row, apparently.
17:57Anyway, knowing your methods, Mr. Holmes,
17:59I've had the ears left quite untouched at the lady's house,
18:03which is... Yes, here it is.
18:05Trafalgar Villa, Camberwell.
18:07And Miss Susan Cushing.
18:12Oh, Mr. Holmes!
18:14Have you come to help me find Mary, after all?
18:16I'm afraid not, Miss Cushing.
18:19The inspector has asked me here to look into that other...
18:22unfortunate business.
18:24Oh, that.
18:26Well, I won't have those things in the house, Mr. Hawkins.
18:29If you wish to see them, you must go to the conservatory.
18:33Have you arrested that wretched young man yet?
18:36Just a matter of time, Miss Cushing.
18:40First, by carriage.
18:42Now, this student fellow, Jacketay,
18:44was going home for Christmas to Ostend via carriage.
18:47Yes, I agree with you.
18:49Carriage is persuasive.
18:51The writing is poor, uneducated.
18:54I know the medical profession is notorious for its illegibility,
18:59but this...
19:01Read with a broad nitpan.
19:03Very inferior ink.
19:09Tartwine.
19:11Stockholm tile.
19:13Knots intact.
19:16Knots intact.
19:30Rustled.
19:32And embedded in it...
19:34These very singular enclosures.
19:37What do you think they are, Watson?
19:40A ring has been torn from this ear.
19:43They're not a pair.
19:46I suppose it would be rather easier for Jacketay
19:48to have abstracted the ears from a dissecting room
19:50which were not actually a pair.
19:52To what purpose?
19:54I don't know. Some kind of disgusting practical joke.
19:57Gentlemen, this is no practical joke.
20:02What first strikes you when you enter a dissecting room?
20:08Formaldehyde. Damn it, you should smell of formaldehyde!
20:10And it does not.
20:12This is no practical joke.
20:15This is a serious crime.
20:22Your sister, Miss Cushing.
20:24Mary!
20:26At last!
20:28Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
20:36I thought it was Mary.
20:39I've come to take some more of my things.
20:43I bought you a present before we argued.
20:46You may as well have it.
20:48I don't want it. I don't want it!
20:50What's the matter with you?
20:52It's another disgusting prank.
20:54What?
20:55He was your friend, after all.
20:57Who was?
20:58I don't want your horrid parcel!
21:00Take it. Let's preserve the proprieties, at least, sister.
21:05Proprieties?
21:08You dare to talk about the proprieties?
21:11You've flouted the rules of society all your life.
21:14And you had the effrontery
21:16to accuse me of interfering with Mary's marrying that man.
21:20Didn't you?
21:22What did you do?
21:24What did I do?
21:26I did nothing.
21:27You know what you did.
21:29You introduced Mary to other men,
21:31corrupting her.
21:33Mary has told me in her innocence.
21:35She accused me.
21:37She accuses no one, you know that.
21:40But I see your hand in her unhappiness.
21:43Nonsense.
21:46Why did Jim Browner start drinking again?
21:50He signed the pledge for Mary.
21:52That's what brought them together.
21:54She pinned the blue ribbon to his chest and he was a new man.
21:58So why did he break his pledge?
22:01Why ask me?
22:03Why did you quarrel with him?
22:05You're approved of Jim Browner, that's true.
22:07But he deserved better than being driven back to drink by your meddling.
22:36I'm back.
22:38Jim.
22:39Hello, Sarah.
22:41Mary wasn't expecting you till much later.
22:43I managed to catch the tail end of the flood.
22:45Saved her whole time.
22:47Is she not here, then?
22:49No.
22:50Old Mrs Cooper's not well again.
22:52Mary's with her.
22:57I said I'd help her with the laundry.
23:01She'll be back soon.
23:08You help her a lot, don't you?
23:11That's nice.
23:30You know why I help her, I suppose?
23:33What?
23:36Why I'm always round here.
23:39Well, you're her sister.
23:46Won't you be happy for five minutes without her, Jim?
23:53Here.
23:55Think yourself useful.
24:00Thank you.
24:13You drop the side, then?
24:15What?
24:16You drop this and bring it up the other side.
24:18What do you mean? Mary doesn't do that.
24:20There are plenty of things Mary doesn't do, I dare say.
24:24Look.
24:25I'll show you how to do it, shall I?
24:30Now.
24:32Now, come on.
24:34You take this corner.
24:36Right.
24:37Now.
24:38You drop this.
24:42And...
24:45You bring it up the other side.
24:54You do it yourself.
24:56That's not for me, I want no part of that.
25:02Who should women's work at me? You keep that to yourself.
25:06Mr. Holmes, any other gentlemen to see you, madam?
25:25As long as they don't bring those things near me.
25:37And where is he now?
25:39Mr. Browner was on the South American line when he and Mary married.
25:43But he was so fond of her that he found himself a berth in the North Sea Boats,
25:49the London Den Helder line.
25:53And is Mary fond of him?
25:56It was a love match.
25:58Love?
25:59Although...
26:01Yes?
26:03Yes?
26:05I was loath to acknowledge it at the time.
26:09Why was that?
26:11I didn't think a sister of mine should be marrying a steward.
26:15And now? How do you feel now?
26:18I think Jim and Mary could be happy.
26:22You mean they weren't?
26:24Well, they were at first.
26:26What happened?
26:29Perhaps you should ask Sarah.
26:31She practically lived there for a while.
26:34Sarah?
26:35Sarah?
27:06The May morning.
27:08She sailed on the 17th for Belgium and Holland.
27:12They were in Rotterdam over Christmas.
27:15The crews draw lots and Jim was unlucky this year.
27:19Mary was to have spent Christmas with Sarah and me.
27:23And now Sarah, of course, is warden at the mission.
27:27Are you sad not to have her living with you still?
27:30Yes, I am.
27:33To tell you the truth, Mr. Holmes,
27:36things are not well between us.
27:39You've quarrelled?
27:41What about?
27:43It may have a bearing on what has happened to your sister, Mary.
27:46I know that.
27:48Of course it does. Do you think I don't know that?
27:51I blame her for everything.
27:53Sarah?
27:54Of course.
27:56Sarah.
27:58She spent far more time than was necessary at Mary's lodgings.
28:03Jim and Mary were just married,
28:06making their own life, making their own friends.
28:10Then Sarah introduced Alec Fairbairn to them.
28:14I know it was not generously done.
28:18Sarah seemed to want to shame Jim Browner.
28:22I don't know what Jim had done to Sarah,
28:25but she seemed to hate him.
28:28I believe that...
28:32You believe what?
28:34Ask her.
28:36Ask Sarah. She's here in the house collecting her things.
28:39Ask her if she did not mean Mary to go off with Alec Fairbairn.
28:44That is what she wanted.
28:47I know it.
28:50Ah!
28:52The message has been received then.
29:20A coffee, sir?
29:28Thank you for your help, Inspector.
29:30It's very difficult, Mr. Holmes. We can't ignore the evidence.
29:33What have we got?
29:35Two severed ears in a parcel.
29:37We've got the medical student, Jackete,
29:39who's been thrown out of the lady's house.
29:41Strong motive.
29:42Parcel. Postmarked carriage on the 19th.
29:45He was in carriage on the 19th.
29:47That's as good as you get.
29:49Your logic seems foolproof, Hawkins.
29:51Thank you.
29:53I just regret that I haven't been able to keep it out of the newspapers.
29:56They're running the story in tomorrow morning's first edition.
29:58They've also managed to get hold of Miss Susan Cushing's name.
30:01She won't like that.
30:02Poor woman.
30:05This other matter then, Mr. Holmes,
30:07you've clearly got some thoughts on that, haven't you?
30:11It is my belief
30:13that a member of Dr. Watson's profession,
30:15possibly of some distinction, has ever stepped the mark.
30:19The corpses all belong to pugilists, amateur or otherwise.
30:24What is the unfortunate characteristic
30:26of boxers
30:28who have fought too long?
30:31Well, there can be such scarring of the brain
30:34that they behave as if they're drunk.
30:36Slurred speech, loss of memory, and so on.
30:39They become punched drunk.
30:41Precisely.
30:43You mean somebody is studying the pathology of brain tissue.
30:47For all the best reasons, I dare say.
30:49And their passion for the subject has outrun their judgment.
30:53Sir Marcus Lanyon.
30:55I'll wage a month's salary on Sir Marcus.
30:57That's precisely his speciality.
30:59And he's impatient to a fault, ruthlessly impatient.
31:02There you have it, Inspector.
31:13Thank you.
31:35She's very down.
31:37Liked this ever since she got back here this afternoon.
31:43Miss Cushing.
31:46Why did you quarrel with your brother-in-law, Mr. Browner?
31:50What?
31:52Who are you? What are you doing here?
31:54This is Sherlock Holmes.
31:55He is investigating the disappearance of your sister, Mary.
32:01She's gone off with Alec Fairbairn, that's all.
32:04Why?
32:07She had become frightened of her husband.
32:10Why?
32:14Jim Browner was a drunkard.
32:17He offered her violence.
32:19He was beneath contempt.
32:21What is your explanation for the severed ears, Miss Cushing?
32:24You saw that cardboard box at your sister's house.
32:28Those severed ears were meant for you, were they not?
32:32The message was for you.
32:35You understood what they meant.
32:38Marcel Jacquet sent them.
32:41He told me he might do something.
32:44I didn't realize he'd do anything so disgusting.
32:55She's lying, Watson.
32:58She's lying through her teeth.
33:10She's lying.
33:26Galf's outside.
33:27Excellent.
33:28I've been to the shipping line offices, too.
33:30And?
33:31It's as you thought.
33:32The main morning set sail from London for Den Helder on the 17th.
33:36But a hog's head got loose in a hole.
33:39It broke the gear plate and had to put in for repairs.
33:42To Harwich?
33:43To Harwich.
33:45The crew were given leave on the 18th.
33:47The main morning left late on the 19th, the day the parcel was posted.
33:52Excellent, Watson.
33:53We have it!
34:06Mr. Holmes?
34:07Mr. Galf.
34:09They have telegraphed.
34:11Jim Browner came off the ferry at Ramsgate at 7 o'clock this evening.
34:14Good.
34:16I knew I could rely on you.
34:18And I can rely on you, can't I?
34:21Oh, you can.
34:23Does the name Sir Marcus Lanyon mean anything to you?
34:27It might.
34:29He will be warned off.
34:33And the orders from which you have been profiting will dry up.
34:36And so will the police interest in you.
34:39I'll be satisfied with that.
34:43We've acquired a bargain, Mr. Galf.
34:59Holmes!
35:01The knots on the parcel were a bowline and a sheet bed.
35:04Yes, sailors' knots.
35:07You know the sailors deliberately do not sharpen their knives?
35:10No, in case of... accident.
35:13Hence the crude amputations.
35:17Harwich was the key.
35:19And Browner was there, now.
35:22I suppose.
35:26Browner...
35:28returned unexpectedly.
35:30Found his wife with Fairbone.
35:34He followed them.
35:36He murdered them both.
35:38He severed an ear from each...
35:41and sent them, as he thought, to Sarah Cushing.
35:45Of course...
35:47he would go there immediately.
35:50He would be desperate...
35:53for her to know that the seven ears were for her and not for her sister.
35:58Well, that being the case...
36:01the railway is operating as if it were a Sunday.
36:06Why?
36:07Because the Christmas holiday is still on.
36:10Do you realize Browner could have caught a much earlier train?
36:14No, I did not know.
36:31Oh, God.
36:45Barry!
37:00What is this, Mr. Holmes?
37:02A unique experience for you, Inspector.
37:05You may apprehend a murderer...
37:07before you have even acknowledged there has been a murder.
37:31I...
37:33well, you may stare.
37:37Look at me, Sarah Cushing.
37:39This is your handiwork.
37:41What have you done, Jim?
37:43What have I done?
37:46Jim, I...
37:48I...
37:50I...
37:52I...
37:54I...
37:56I...
37:59There, it's what you've done.
38:02I beg you, Jim.
38:05Look on me kindly.
38:08Whatever I did...
38:10I did for you.
38:14It was you.
38:20You poisoned her mind.
38:22I did it for you.
38:24It was you.
38:26They have arrested the lodger.
38:29I told them he did it.
38:32They suspect nothing of you, Jim.
38:34You can get away.
38:36Get away?
38:39You think I can get away?
38:42Put it all behind me and think, do you?
38:44Are you mad?
38:47It is me!
38:48It's in here!
38:50Every last moment of it...
38:52comes out of the daylight like me.
38:54It goes on and on.
38:55I tell you, I dare not shut an eye and sleep since I did it.
38:57I'm never without one or the other before me.
39:01May the blood rot in your veins, Sarah Cushing.
39:04No!
39:06No!
39:08I love you.
39:10I love you.
39:12I love you.
39:14I love you.
39:16I believe you do.
39:18I'll tell you something.
39:20I'd rather have one kind word
39:22from her I've killed than all your love.
39:25I'd rather see her breathe in one minute more
39:28than a lifetime of what you could give me.
39:30Don't say that! Don't say that!
39:43She loved me.
39:47That's the root of the business.
39:50But she knew...
39:53She knew...
39:55She knew I...
39:57I thought more of my wife's footprint in the mud
40:00than I did of her body and soul.
40:06Whoever would have dreamt it?
40:16Andrew.
40:20After her trajectory, Sarah's advances?
40:24I never said a word to Mary for I thought it would grieve her.
40:29Then I began to see a change in Mary herself.
40:32My wife had always been
40:34so understanding.
40:38She was suspicious of everything I did.
40:43We began to row about nothing.
40:46Nothing at all.
40:48It maddened me.
40:51And this was Sarah's word?
40:53Aye.
40:55I didn't see it then, mind.
40:58I just saw it all go wrong.
41:04She and Mary were inseparable and...
41:07And then...
41:11Well, then I broke my blue ribbon and began drinking again.
41:14And then I saw Mary had some reason to be disgusted with me now.
41:22And then this Fairbairn fella chipped in.
41:26He was a dashing, swaggering sort of a chap.
41:31Smart and cold, educated too, I reckon.
41:33He could talk, he could...
41:37Blind I was.
41:40It was a little thing put me on to him.
41:45I came into the parlour, unexpected one day,
41:48and as I came in, I saw the light of welcome in my wife's eyes, but...
41:54When she saw it was me,
41:57she turned away with a look of disappointment.
42:03There was no one but Alec Fairbairn whose step shook a mistake for mine.
42:07I tell you, from that moment on, my peace was gone.
42:11Sarah was in the kitchen and I went straight through and I told her that
42:15if Fairbairn ever set foot in my place again,
42:22I'd send her his ears for a keepsake.
42:30I believe I could wish you had committed this deed of yours in France.
42:36They acknowledge the crime of passion there.
42:42You won't let them leave me alone, will you, sir?
42:49No.
42:52I won't.
42:56When I leave, I'll send an officer in.
43:00I don't like to be alone, see.
43:05I love you too.
43:35I love you too.
44:05I love you too.
44:36I love you too.
44:49Your turn.
44:58Won't be a minute.
45:05No.
45:21She made it go wrong, didn't she?
45:27And you never thought of anyone but me,
45:31did you, Jim?
45:35She loved you and she made me hate you.
45:46Yeah.
45:49It was as if you had a secret, you see.
45:53She made me think the worst.
45:56The secret was her love of me.
46:00You should have got rid of her from our lives, Jim.
46:06I know.
46:09But I thought it would hurt you.
46:13Look at us now.
46:17How we're stupid.
46:19Like this of people.
46:35I love you.
47:05I love you.
47:35I love you.
48:05I love you.
48:06I love you.
48:07I love you.

48:34I love you.
48:35I love you.
48:36I love you.
48:37I love you.
48:38I love you.
49:02What is the meaning of it, Watson?
49:05What is the object of this circle of misery and violence and fear?
49:13It must have a purpose, or our universe has no meaning and that is unthinkable.
49:20But what purpose?
49:23That is humanity's great problem, for which reason so far has no answer.
49:54I love you.
49:55I love you.
49:56I love you.
49:57I love you.
49:58I love you.
49:59I love you.
