00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,740
<i>Dartmoor prison.{\i}</i>

2
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:23,910
<i>Isolated from{\i}
the outside world{\i}</i>

3
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:25,970
<i>by walls of granite.{\i}</i>

4
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:38,340
They say you could
get out of here

5
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:41,220
by merely telling what you know.

6
00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:45,890
You may or may not be
another Scotland Yard bloke

7
00:01:45,890 --> 00:01:50,440
but I'll give you the same
answer I gave the others.

8
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,980
I still have two years,
eight months and six days left

9
00:01:54,980 --> 00:01:57,600
in which to make musical boxes

10
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,240
that will be sold at auction

11
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,950
for the benefit of this
delightful sanctuary.

12
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:05,790
And I intend to sell them.

13
00:02:11,290 --> 00:02:12,760
Move along.

14
00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:17,810
And now we come to the next object
on our list, or I should say objects

15
00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:19,800
because there are three of them.

16
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,330
Now ladies and gentlemen these can
be bought together or separately.

17
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:27,690
Now these beautiful little musical
boxes only arrived this morning

18
00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:30,080
and I didn't intend to put them
on the auction block until later

19
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,020
but I'm going to sell them now.

20
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:35,570
So good friends, as our old
pal Mark Anthony used to say,

21
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:38,650
"lend me your ears

22
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:40,450
and what do you hear?"

23
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:42,660
<i>♪♪{\i}Right,</i>

24
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:46,740
the beautiful tinkle,
tinkle of a musical box.

25
00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:49,500
What a lovely trinket.
What a beautiful gift,

26
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,330
created and made
by loving hands.

27
00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:54,500
A thing of beauty and utility.

28
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:57,500
I was going to start
with five pounds.

29
00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:59,800
It's a bargain for five pounds.

30
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,720
Do I see any hands?

31
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,760
Is there a connoisseur in the house
who'll go three pounds for it?

32
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,140
Two pounds?

33
00:03:09,140 --> 00:03:10,380
One pound?

34
00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:14,650
Ten shillings?

35
00:03:14,650 --> 00:03:17,360
Ten? Thank you, sir.

36
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,570
Ladies and gentlemen,

37
00:03:18,570 --> 00:03:20,700
ten shillings is offered
for a musical box

38
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,700
you couldn't buy anywhere in
London for less than five pounds.

39
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:26,070
It's a bit of a stealing to
let it go for ten shillings,

40
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:27,620
like taking milk from a baby.

41
00:03:27,620 --> 00:03:29,290
All right, we start
with ten shillings.

42
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:30,790
Ten shillings,
ten shillings is offered.

43
00:03:30,790 --> 00:03:32,120
Ten shillings is offered.
Ten shillings is offered.

44
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,450
Does anybody want to
give me one pound?

45
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:35,130
Anybody one pound?

46
00:03:35,130 --> 00:03:36,790
Won't somebody give me a pound?

47
00:03:36,790 --> 00:03:38,710
A pound, one pound
is offered, one pound.

48
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:40,300
Ladies and gentlemen one pound.

49
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,220
The offer is against you, sir.
Will you go to two pounds?

50
00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:44,590
Will you go to two pounds, sir?

51
00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:46,010
Two pounds.
Two pounds is offered.

52
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:47,640
Two pounds offered going once,

53
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,690
twice,

54
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,100
third and the last call.

55
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:53,850
Sold to the gentlemen
for two pounds.

56
00:03:53,850 --> 00:03:55,810
Sorry, my dear.

57
00:03:55,810 --> 00:03:59,520
Now ladies and gentlemen comes
the opportunity to purchase

58
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,070
an exact duplicate of the
beautiful little musical box

59
00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:05,110
just bought by this gentleman
for the ridiculous low price

60
00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:06,080
of two pounds.

61
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,660
Now, it's exactly the same.

62
00:04:07,660 --> 00:04:09,660
Exactly the same.
Made by the same hands.

63
00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:11,660
You hear that?
Isn't that lovely.

64
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:13,960
That tinkle, tinkle,
tinkle, tinkle.

65
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,420
Sounds like bow bells to me.

66
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:17,540
You know, with little angels
pulling on the ropes.

67
00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:19,040
Who will give me
two pounds for it?

68
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:20,240
Who will start me
with two pounds?

69
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:22,380
Will anybody start
me with two pounds?

70
00:04:22,380 --> 00:04:24,720
Oh come, come ladies
and gentlemen,

71
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640
if you offer more enthusiasm we might
all be Scotland instead of London.

72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,430
Please buy it for me, Daddy.

73
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:30,970
Two pounds? Certainly not.

74
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:32,890
We all might be in Scotland.

75
00:04:32,890 --> 00:04:34,890
Besides I don't like his manner.

76
00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:36,560
One pound, ten shillings.

77
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,520
One pound. One pound is asked.

78
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,760
One pound? One pound is offered.

79
00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:41,440
One pound is offered.
Going, one pound.

80
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,070
In advance.
Going once, going twice,

81
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:46,950
the third and the last call.

82
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:49,240
Sold to the lady for one pound.

83
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,870
Smart bidding, my dear.

84
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:51,920
Thank you.

85
00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:53,370
We come to the third and last

86
00:04:53,370 --> 00:04:55,960
of these beautiful
little musical boxes.

87
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,540
Exactly the same tinkle,
tinkle. Isn't that lovely?

88
00:04:59,540 --> 00:05:00,830
Ladies and gentlemen
I don't bring you here

89
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:02,550
to gull you and swindle you,

90
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:05,710
this is the exact replica of
those two I just sold before.

91
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,690
We're closed.

92
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:16,480
But this is extremely important.

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,570
Come in, sir. Come in.

94
00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:21,270
I'm sorry to disturb you

95
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:23,150
but I was unfortunately delayed

96
00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:25,610
from arriving in time to
bid on certain articles,

97
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:27,610
which I was rather
anxious to obtain.

98
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:29,320
Well, perhaps they
weren't sold, sir.

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,490
We are carrying
several things over.

100
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:33,620
What might the articles be, sir?

101
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:37,620
Three identical musical
boxes about so large.

102
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:40,250
Oh, I'm sorry, sir,
but they were sold.

103
00:05:40,250 --> 00:05:41,790
Pitty you weren't here
to bid on them.

104
00:05:41,790 --> 00:05:44,250
They didn't bring anything
like their real value.

105
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:46,550
I'm most anxious to obtain them.

106
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:48,220
I wonder if your records
would show

107
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:50,180
who the purchases were?

108
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:53,140
Oh, we don't usually give
out that information, sir.

109
00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:56,220
For certain, shall we say,
sentimental reasons

110
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:59,390
I'm most anxious to get in
touch with the purchasers.

111
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,110
I'd be willing to pay,
shall we say,

112
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:04,480
five pounds.

113
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,150
Well for certain
sentimental reasons, sir,

114
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:07,820
we'd be very happy to oblige.

115
00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:10,820
Alfred, today's sales,
the three musical boxes.

116
00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:12,910
The musical boxes, oh.

117
00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:15,040
Ah, here we are.

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,870
The first purchased for two pounds by
Mr. Julian Emery, 52 Portland Square.

119
00:06:17,870 --> 00:06:20,290
- Write these addresses down, Alfred.
- Yes, sir.

120
00:06:20,290 --> 00:06:21,670
Second, didn't leave any name.

121
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:23,380
Well, how unfortunate.

122
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:25,170
I think she's a dealer.

123
00:06:25,170 --> 00:06:26,460
You see, they don't like us to
know where the things are going.

124
00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:28,260
On account of the profits.

125
00:06:28,260 --> 00:06:31,470
You say the second purchaser,
there was a woman,

126
00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:33,760
can you give me a
description of her?

127
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,270
Oh, she was a young woman,
fairly tall, slender,

128
00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:40,190
a light complexion
and dark hair,

129
00:06:40,190 --> 00:06:43,440
- and she was wearing a...
- A gray suit, don't you remember?

130
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,110
- That's right.
- She probably runs a gift shop.

131
00:06:46,110 --> 00:06:49,110
She paid one pound.

132
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:52,320
You say she comes here
fairly frequently?

133
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,660
No, I didn't say so
but she does, sir.

134
00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:57,660
Likely, she'll come in
on Thursday.

135
00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:00,040
We have sales on
Monday's and Thursday's.

136
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,370
Ah. And the third box?

137
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:07,500
The third, oh, a Mr. William
Kilgour, 143B Hampton Way.

138
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:09,300
For ten shillings.

139
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,260
Quite a drop from two pounds.

140
00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:14,180
Mr. Kilgour was a Scotchman.

141
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:18,060
Well, thank you.
You've been most helpful.

142
00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:19,110
Thank you, sir

143
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:21,310
and anytime your
passing drop in.

144
00:07:21,310 --> 00:07:23,270
We always have
lovely things for sale.

145
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:25,110
- Our card, sir.
- Thank you.

146
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:27,120
I'll be back Thursday.

147
00:07:34,780 --> 00:07:37,910
Her message reached us too late.

148
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:40,890
The musical boxes
have been sold.

149
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:44,870
Well, let's get out of here.

150
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:53,100
Some day you'll go too far.

151
00:07:56,010 --> 00:07:58,850
Reaching for a star, you fool.

152
00:07:58,850 --> 00:08:01,770
Yet a fool may touch a star,
Colonel Cavanaugh

153
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:03,940
if he reaches high enough.

154
00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:06,460
But not possess it as you would.

155
00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:10,730
The musical boxes
they've been sold?

156
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:12,740
What a pity for you,
my dear Colonel.

157
00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:16,320
Is it my fault that the message
reached us only an hour ago?

158
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,910
Is it my fault that
they were sold?

159
00:08:18,910 --> 00:08:21,870
She can't hold me
responsible for that.

160
00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:23,580
Hope for your sake you're right.

161
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,740
"They will call upon you tonight
at a quarter till eight,"

162
00:08:57,740 --> 00:09:00,120
a gentleman it is
asked to consult you

163
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,080
"upon a matter of the
very deepest moment."

164
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,910
Remember that letter, Holmes?

165
00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:07,330
It was written
over two years ago.

166
00:09:07,330 --> 00:09:08,750
Very interesting case.

167
00:09:08,750 --> 00:09:10,750
Devilishly interesting.

168
00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:13,170
Humph, Irene Adler,

169
00:09:13,170 --> 00:09:14,630
what a striking looking woman

170
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:16,300
from the brief glance
I had of her.

171
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:18,090
Seems only yesterday.

172
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:19,970
What charm.

173
00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:22,760
What poise. And what a mind.

174
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:24,050
Sharp enough and
brilliant enough

175
00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:28,310
to outwit the great
Sherlock Holmes himself.

176
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:30,810
I take it that the new issue
of the Strand Magazine is out,

177
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:33,610
containing another of
your slightly lurid tales.

178
00:09:33,610 --> 00:09:34,660
It is indeed.

179
00:09:34,690 --> 00:09:36,440
And what do you call this one?

180
00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:40,240
I call it "A Scandal in Bohemia".
Not a bad title, huh?

181
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,490
Hmm. If you must
record my exploits

182
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,460
I do wish you would put less
emphasis on the melodramatic

183
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:50,000
and more on the intellectual
issues involved.

184
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,340
More on the inte... what
do you mean by that?

185
00:09:52,340 --> 00:09:57,010
Well, I do hope you've given
The Woman a soul,

186
00:09:57,010 --> 00:09:58,160
she had one you know?

187
00:09:58,180 --> 00:09:59,970
By The Woman,

188
00:09:59,970 --> 00:10:01,890
I suppose you mean Irene Adler?

189
00:10:01,890 --> 00:10:03,970
Yes,

190
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:08,510
I shall always remember
her as The woman.

191
00:10:16,070 --> 00:10:18,730
<i>Come in.{\i}</i>

192
00:10:21,740 --> 00:10:23,620
Stinky.

193
00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:25,160
Fatso, old boy, how are you?

194
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,290
How are you, old boy?
I haven't seen you for years.

195
00:10:27,290 --> 00:10:29,330
I want you to meet my old
friend Sherlock Holmes.

196
00:10:29,330 --> 00:10:30,960
Holmes, this is Stinky.

197
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,290
In other words Julian Emery.

198
00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:35,750
How do you do, Mr. Emery?
Watson's often spoken of you.

199
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,130
Oh, has he?

200
00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:38,510
Yes, we were at school together.

201
00:10:38,510 --> 00:10:40,090
Yes, more years ago
than I care to remember

202
00:10:40,090 --> 00:10:42,340
but you didn't come in here
just to remind me of that.

203
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:44,010
No, I just happened to
be in the neighborhood

204
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:45,430
and saw your lights burning

205
00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:47,640
so I took the liberty
of looking you up.

206
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,310
Still writing the
old mystery stuff?

207
00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:51,810
Yes. There's a new
one out this week.

208
00:10:51,810 --> 00:10:54,150
- Good, I never miss them.
- Oh good. Thanks.

209
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:56,940
I say that bandage makes
you look very interesting.

210
00:10:56,940 --> 00:10:59,820
Still poking your nose into other
people's business as usual?

211
00:10:59,820 --> 00:11:02,070
- Who hit you?
- I haven't the foggiest notion.

212
00:11:02,070 --> 00:11:04,120
Somebody knocked me on the
head in my own living room

213
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,120
then proceeded to commit the most
idiotic burglary you ever heard of.

214
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,700
Fellow must have been
barney as a coot.

215
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:11,540
Barney, why?

216
00:11:11,540 --> 00:11:12,960
Come sit down, old boy.

217
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,790
- Would you like a cup of tea?
- Huh?

218
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,300
Oh, all right.

219
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:19,330
I'll go and tell
Mrs. Hudson about it.

220
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,800
Why did you say the robbery
was idiotic, Mr. Emery?

221
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,430
Oh, simply from the fact that

222
00:11:26,430 --> 00:11:27,930
with about five thousand
pounds worth

223
00:11:27,930 --> 00:11:29,640
of musical boxes
in my living room

224
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,560
the thief, who
I caught in the act,

225
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,230
made off with one that isn't
even worth five pounds.

226
00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:36,520
I gather you are a
collector of musical boxes?

227
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,850
Yes, I am indeed.

228
00:11:37,860 --> 00:11:39,000
Some of them are very beautiful

229
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:40,900
but not the one that was stolen.

230
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:43,530
This thief evidently grabbed the
first thing that came to his hand

231
00:11:43,530 --> 00:11:45,870
when he heard me
coming into the room.

232
00:11:45,870 --> 00:11:48,700
Still it's rather odd, isn't it,
that having disposed of you

233
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:51,540
he didn't pick up
something more valuable.

234
00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:53,830
Well, is there anything
unusual about the stolen box?

235
00:11:53,830 --> 00:11:55,830
No, nothing at all.

236
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,420
I picked it up in
the south of France

237
00:11:58,420 --> 00:12:00,000
several years ago.

238
00:12:00,010 --> 00:12:02,720
You say you have many
valuable music boxes

239
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,720
and yet the thief made off with one
that's isn't worth five pounds.

240
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,100
Sounds like a rather
intriguing little problem.

241
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:10,720
Yes, well I take it that he was
just an ordinary petty thief

242
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,230
and didn't know the value.

243
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:15,060
That is a possible explanation,
yet I adventure to say

244
00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:17,940
that the average petty thief has a
more extensive knowledge of the value

245
00:12:17,940 --> 00:12:20,020
of the objet d'art than
the average collector.

246
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:22,280
Well anyway, that's
Scotland Yards theory

247
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,110
they didn't get very
excited about it.

248
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:26,320
That's consistent anyway.

249
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,780
I wonder if I might see
your collection, Mr. Emery?

250
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:30,660
Why of course you can. Yes.

251
00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:32,040
Nothing that a
collector likes more

252
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,790
than showing off his trophies.

253
00:12:33,790 --> 00:12:36,540
- When would it suit you?
- No time like the present.

254
00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:37,780
Good.

255
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:39,290
My place is just around
in Pullman Square.

256
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:41,080
- Shall we?
- Yes, right.

257
00:12:45,260 --> 00:12:46,890
Hello. Where you going?

258
00:12:46,890 --> 00:12:49,260
- Stinky hasn't had his tea yet.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

259
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:50,850
We're going round to my place

260
00:12:50,850 --> 00:12:53,820
where I'm going to give you
something better than tea.

261
00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:57,650
Now this one was
made for Louis the XV

262
00:12:57,650 --> 00:13:00,400
and is one of the very few still
in the existence from that period

263
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600
and a particularly
fine specimen at that.

264
00:13:05,650 --> 00:13:07,570
Charming isn't it?

265
00:13:07,570 --> 00:13:09,270
Quite.

266
00:13:10,530 --> 00:13:12,040
They all sound to me
like a lot of mice

267
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,200
running about on a tin roof.

268
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,540
I'm afraid you have no ear
for music, Watson.

269
00:13:16,540 --> 00:13:19,080
Give me a good old band
playing a rousing march,

270
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,450
you have all your silly
little tweet tweets.

271
00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:29,740
Oh, that's another one of them.

272
00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:33,870
Good gracious me.

273
00:13:42,610 --> 00:13:45,640
Stupid thing,
singing rabbit, huh.

274
00:13:47,530 --> 00:13:49,450
What would you say offhand is the
value of a box like that, Mr. Emery?

275
00:13:49,450 --> 00:13:52,330
Well, it's hard to say offhand
but I think it would bring

276
00:13:52,330 --> 00:13:54,490
about five or six
hundred pounds today.

277
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,120
It's the gem of my collection.

278
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,460
Yet a thief, who steals an
oddity like a musical box,

279
00:13:58,460 --> 00:14:00,380
passes up one worth
five hundred pounds

280
00:14:00,380 --> 00:14:02,840
for one of almost
no value at all.

281
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Odd, very odd.

282
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,670
What was the stolen box like,
Mr. Emery?

283
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:11,640
Oh, just plain wooden box
about so big.

284
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,680
As a matter fact, I have one over
here almost exactly like it.

285
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:19,020
I picked this up yesterday at an
auction room in Knightsbridge,

286
00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:20,900
paid only two pounds for it.

287
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:22,650
Of course, I wouldn't
have ordinarily

288
00:14:22,650 --> 00:14:26,780
add one like this to my collection
but the tune intrigued me.

289
00:14:26,780 --> 00:14:30,080
I'd never heard it before.

290
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:48,380
You have a remarkable
ear for music, Holmes.

291
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:50,590
- Rather an unusual melody.
- Sit down, will you.

292
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:53,010
Thanks.

293
00:14:53,010 --> 00:14:56,010
You say you bought that box
at an auction hall yesterday?

294
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:59,430
Yes. The Gaylord Auction
Rooms in Knightsbridge,

295
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,440
run by old... What's his name?

296
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,720
Crabtree.

297
00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:03,920
That's the man.

298
00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:05,480
At what time was the
robbery committed?

299
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,230
Oh, about three o'clock
this morning.

300
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,740
You know, Mr. Emery

301
00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:12,490
that box and the robbery
might well be cause and effect,

302
00:15:12,490 --> 00:15:14,780
especially since you say
that the stolen box

303
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:17,330
outwardly resembles
this one a great deal

304
00:15:17,330 --> 00:15:21,000
and Scotland Yard was not
particularly interested, eh?

305
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,420
Oh yes, but I wouldn't
blame them for that,

306
00:15:23,420 --> 00:15:26,250
especially as I told them I was
quite unable to describe the thief,

307
00:15:26,250 --> 00:15:29,460
except, of course, for the fact
that it was definitely a man.

308
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:30,660
All you remember is
that who came in here

309
00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:31,680
and someone struck
you on the head.

310
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,550
Yes and the next thing I knew

311
00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:35,510
my man was trying to revive me.

312
00:15:35,510 --> 00:15:37,680
It might be wise for you to put that
box away somewhere and lock it up.

313
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,430
Oh, I don't think
that's necessary.

314
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:41,270
Besides, everything's insured.

315
00:15:41,270 --> 00:15:44,310
Well, at least of any further
attempts at robbery are made

316
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:46,610
I'd suggest that
you call the police

317
00:15:46,610 --> 00:15:48,360
rather than running into
any personal danger.

318
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,780
Oh come, Holmes aren't you
being a bit of an alarmist?

319
00:15:50,780 --> 00:15:51,790
Possibly.

320
00:15:51,820 --> 00:15:53,660
I must agree with old Stinky.

321
00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:56,200
Seems to me you are making rather
a mountain out of a mole skin.

322
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,660
Molehill is the word, old boy

323
00:15:57,660 --> 00:15:59,740
and it's time you were in bed.

324
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:01,540
Thanks so much for letting
us see your collection.

325
00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:03,510
It's been grand meeting you.

326
00:16:05,290 --> 00:16:08,130
Holmes, I can't understand
why you were so mysterious.

327
00:16:08,130 --> 00:16:11,050
Seems to me the petty thief explanation
was the only sensible one.

328
00:16:11,050 --> 00:16:12,760
- Really?
- Yes, I can't see how you can believe

329
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,090
it was anything else.

330
00:16:14,090 --> 00:16:15,640
I didn't say I believed
it to be anything else.

331
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,300
The petty thief theory is
the obvious one I grant you.

332
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:20,930
However, it's often a mistaken
to accept something that's true

333
00:16:20,930 --> 00:16:23,180
merely because it's obvious.

334
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:25,350
The truth is only arrived at

335
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:29,400
by the pain staking process
of eliminating the untrue.

336
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,530
We are not able to
do that in this case

337
00:16:31,530 --> 00:16:32,940
without further data.

338
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:34,740
Rubbish. You're pulling my leg.

339
00:16:34,740 --> 00:16:36,490
You're trying to turn a

340
00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:39,620
cut on the head and a robbery
into an international plot.

341
00:16:39,620 --> 00:16:40,670
No I'm not.

342
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,080
I just hope that
your friend Stinky

343
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,040
is a little more cautious
in the future,

344
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,740
just in case.

345
00:17:10,190 --> 00:17:12,650
Hello. Yeah.

346
00:17:12,650 --> 00:17:14,360
Julian Emery here.

347
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:16,740
Who?

348
00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:20,200
Why of course I remember
you, Mrs. Courtney.

349
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,830
Yes. Yes, you are the
one bright spot

350
00:17:22,830 --> 00:17:26,750
at that appallingly dull
affair of Lady Sanfords.

351
00:17:26,750 --> 00:17:27,990
Huh?

352
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,330
Of course it isn't to late
to come around.

353
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:33,880
Yes, I shall be delighted
to give you a drink.

354
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,420
I tell you what come straight up

355
00:17:35,420 --> 00:17:38,180
and I'll leave the door
unlatched.

356
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:40,260
All right. Fifteen minutes?

357
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:42,060
Good.

358
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:44,270
I shall be counting each moment.

359
00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:47,890
No. No. No, I mean that, really.

360
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,590
Right. Goodbye.

361
00:18:07,790 --> 00:18:09,420
Boo!

362
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:11,040
Oh, you startled me.

363
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,750
- Did I?
- Yes.

364
00:18:12,750 --> 00:18:14,840
Must be the pixie in me.

365
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,960
I know I shouldn't have
called you so late

366
00:18:16,970 --> 00:18:19,340
but I was at a party
just around the corner

367
00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:20,670
and I remembered your invitation

368
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,640
to see your collection
of musical boxes.

369
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,260
My dear, Mrs. Courtney,

370
00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:27,310
pleasure is all the greater
for being so unexpected.

371
00:18:27,310 --> 00:18:29,690
- My friends call me Hilda.
- Thanks.

372
00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:31,350
Mine call me Stinky.

373
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,110
Stinky? How quaint.

374
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:36,320
Oh, what a perfectly wonderful
collection of musical boxes.

375
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,740
You know, when you told
me you had a collection

376
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:40,530
- I had no idea that it was so attractive.
- Yes.

377
00:18:40,530 --> 00:18:42,660
They appeal to the ear

378
00:18:42,660 --> 00:18:45,280
as well as to the eye.

379
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:47,830
Oh, what a plain little one.

380
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:50,710
Why it looks just like a country
cousin Amid all this grandeur.

381
00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:53,880
Now, now, now you mustn't
underestimate the country cousin.

382
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,920
Only last night a
burglar broke in here

383
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,460
and with all these to chose from

384
00:18:57,460 --> 00:18:59,170
- went off with one very much like it.
- Really?

385
00:18:59,170 --> 00:19:01,550
Yes, I don't mind the
loss the box so much

386
00:19:01,550 --> 00:19:03,390
but I do resent this
crack on the skull.

387
00:19:03,390 --> 00:19:04,930
But it makes you
look so interesting.

388
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:06,970
- Do you think so?
- Uh-huh.

389
00:19:06,970 --> 00:19:08,980
- That's funny, that's what old fatso said.
- Fatso?

390
00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:10,850
I mean Doctor Watson.

391
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:14,110
He was here this evening
with a friend, a Mr. Holmes.

392
00:19:14,110 --> 00:19:15,900
He's interested in
my collection too.

393
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:17,180
Sherlock Holmes?

394
00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:18,690
Yes. Do you know him?

395
00:19:18,690 --> 00:19:20,320
I've heard of him.

396
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,280
Yes, he seems to think
I'm in some sort of danger.

397
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,410
What a haunting tune. It takes
me right back to my childhood.

398
00:19:27,410 --> 00:19:29,580
Really?

399
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:31,290
You know it's odd that you should be
interested in that particular musical box.

400
00:19:31,290 --> 00:19:34,790
- Odd, why?
- Cause Mr. Holmes is also interested in it.

401
00:19:34,790 --> 00:19:37,840
He may have been more interested
in the tune than in the box.

402
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,510
My dear, yes, that's right.

403
00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:41,050
I remember now.

404
00:19:41,050 --> 00:19:43,300
He whistled it note for note
having heard it only once.

405
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:46,550
Really? He must be
a remarkable man.

406
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,760
Bit of an alarmist
if you ask me.

407
00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:50,350
Don't you believe in warnings?

408
00:19:50,350 --> 00:19:51,810
Of course not.

409
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:53,810
Who'd want a box like that?

410
00:19:53,810 --> 00:19:54,960
I would.

411
00:19:54,980 --> 00:19:56,560
You're not serious?

412
00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:58,230
Oh, but I am.

413
00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:00,740
Well, you put me at a
very awkward position.

414
00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:02,360
I'm a collector you know

415
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,660
and a collector buys
but never sells.

416
00:20:04,660 --> 00:20:08,450
But if the price
were high enough.

417
00:20:08,450 --> 00:20:10,290
The price has
nothing to do with it.

418
00:20:10,290 --> 00:20:13,870
It's the principle of the thing.

419
00:20:13,870 --> 00:20:16,500
Yes, well we haven't
had our drink.

420
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:20,090
No thanks, I must be
getting along.

421
00:20:20,090 --> 00:20:23,300
- Must you really?
- I'm afraid so.

422
00:20:24,510 --> 00:20:26,760
You're not walking
out on me are you?

423
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,180
My reputation, Stinky.

424
00:20:31,180 --> 00:20:33,980
I say, you know you are
an attractive woman.

425
00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:35,220
Thanks.

426
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:45,110
You fool.
I told you to wait outside.

427
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:47,370
What did you have
to kill him for?

428
00:20:47,370 --> 00:20:49,160
All I had to do was
walk out with this.

429
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,990
- He held you in his arms.
- Don't touch him.

430
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,660
Don't touch anything.
Now get out!

431
00:20:54,670 --> 00:20:57,330
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?

432
00:20:57,330 --> 00:21:00,290
What about me? This is murder.

433
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:02,130
What about Scotland Yard?

434
00:21:02,130 --> 00:21:04,550
What about Sherlock Holmes?

435
00:21:04,550 --> 00:21:06,660
Now get out!

436
00:21:33,410 --> 00:21:35,480
Did you get it?

437
00:21:37,290 --> 00:21:38,750
Good.

438
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:41,790
Did you have any
trouble with him?

439
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,910
Just a matter of murder.

440
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,970
- Ah, Mr. Holmes.
- Hopkins.

441
00:21:49,970 --> 00:21:51,550
Thanks for coming so promptly.

442
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,640
Inspector Lestrade suggested
that I call through to you.

443
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,060
- Mr. Emery was a client of Mr. Holmes, Inspector.
- Indeed.

444
00:21:58,060 --> 00:22:00,060
You didn't mention that when
I telephoned you, Mr. Holmes.

445
00:22:00,060 --> 00:22:02,060
Well not exactly
a client, Inspector.

446
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:04,730
- Sergeant Thompson?
- He was killed between the hours of eleven

447
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:07,580
and two o'clock this
morning, Mr. Holmes.

448
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,520
Must have been someone he knew.

449
00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:13,330
Someone of whom
he had no suspicion.

450
00:22:13,330 --> 00:22:15,080
Poor old Stinky.

451
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,750
It's all my fault.
I should have prevented this.

452
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:21,330
Well, it's no time to start
talking about that now, Doctor.

453
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:23,130
Apparently, it's gone.

454
00:22:23,130 --> 00:22:25,130
That's the second attempt
on the musical box

455
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:26,920
that Emery bought
at the auction sale

456
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,720
and this time it was successful.

457
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,510
But that box is only
worth two pounds.

458
00:22:30,510 --> 00:22:32,760
It's worth a man's life, Watson.

459
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,180
I think we'd better pay a visit to Gaylord's
Auction Room and that fellow Crabtree.

460
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:37,560
Inspector may I suggest

461
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,350
that you make a complete
search of this flat

462
00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:43,060
for a small plain musical
box about that size.

463
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:45,040
Thank you. Come on, Watson.

464
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:49,450
You say the first box
went to Mr. Julian Emery,

465
00:22:49,450 --> 00:22:52,780
the second, Mr. Kilgour,
143B Hampton Way,

466
00:22:52,780 --> 00:22:54,660
and the third to the
unidentified young lady

467
00:22:54,660 --> 00:22:56,910
who presumably has a shop
and lives near Golders Green?

468
00:22:56,910 --> 00:22:58,240
That's right Mr. Holmes.

469
00:22:58,250 --> 00:23:00,660
Isn't it rather strange,
Mr. Crabtree,

470
00:23:00,670 --> 00:23:03,790
that you've had three identical musical
boxes, all playing the same tune?

471
00:23:03,790 --> 00:23:05,710
- Where did they come from?
- Dartmoor Prison.

472
00:23:05,710 --> 00:23:08,800
- Dartmoor?
- We get a regular shipment from there every month.

473
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,170
The inmates manufacture them.

474
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:11,510
Well, they make all kinds
of things you know?

475
00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:13,180
Pipe racks, wastepaper baskets,

476
00:23:13,180 --> 00:23:15,640
- musical boxes.
- Did you happen to notice

477
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,770
if anyone showed any particular
interest during the auction

478
00:23:18,770 --> 00:23:22,730
in the purchases
of these three boxes?

479
00:23:22,730 --> 00:23:24,480
Oh, come now, Mr. Crabtree,

480
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,900
this is very literally a
matter of life and death.

481
00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:29,280
Well, since you put it
that way, Mr. Holmes,

482
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,570
there was a gentleman came in here
about an hour after closing time.

483
00:23:31,570 --> 00:23:35,530
And he was in an
awful state, he was,

484
00:23:35,530 --> 00:23:37,620
he gave me five pounds to tell
him where the boxes had gone.

485
00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:39,620
He said they had sentimental
value for him, sir.

486
00:23:39,620 --> 00:23:41,500
Expensive sentiment.

487
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:42,740
Can you describe him?

488
00:23:42,750 --> 00:23:44,290
Well he was tall,
distinguished looking

489
00:23:44,290 --> 00:23:46,210
and he had gray hair
and a mustache.

490
00:23:46,210 --> 00:23:47,500
He was quite a gentleman, sir.

491
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:49,050
And what was his reaction

492
00:23:49,050 --> 00:23:50,840
when you were
unable to supply him

493
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,720
with the address of the young
lady who owned the shop?

494
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,220
I told him that the young lady
usually come back on Thursday.

495
00:23:55,220 --> 00:23:57,930
He said he'd come back on
Thursday and that's tomorrow.

496
00:23:57,930 --> 00:24:00,680
Thank you Mr. Crabtree, you've
been very helpful. Thank you.

497
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,270
Come along, Watson.

498
00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:04,480
- Where we going now, Holmes?
- The home of Mr. Kilgour,

499
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,270
the man who bought
the third box.

500
00:24:12,530 --> 00:24:14,450
But hang it all, Holmes,

501
00:24:14,450 --> 00:24:16,530
how do you know those other two
musical boxes are of any importance?

502
00:24:16,530 --> 00:24:18,030
I don't, but I certainly
have no intention

503
00:24:18,030 --> 00:24:20,840
of waiting till the owners
are murdered to find out.

504
00:24:22,750 --> 00:24:24,210
No one at home.

505
00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:26,500
I hope that's the explanation.

506
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:28,660
Well, have a look
through this window.

507
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,930
Doesn't seem to be anyone there.

508
00:24:36,930 --> 00:24:40,810
Whole place seems deserted
as far as I can see.

509
00:24:40,810 --> 00:24:43,350
- Yes?
- Mr. and Mrs. Kilgour at home?

510
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:44,980
- No.
- When do you expect them?

511
00:24:44,980 --> 00:24:46,980
Oh, in an hour or so.

512
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:48,650
There's no use
you're hanging about.

513
00:24:48,650 --> 00:24:50,270
They don't buy nothing
from peddlers.

514
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Peddlers?

515
00:24:51,570 --> 00:24:53,610
My good woman this is
Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

516
00:24:53,610 --> 00:24:55,570
Sherlock Holmes? Oh, go on.

517
00:24:55,570 --> 00:24:57,620
Do you mind if we
come in and wait?

518
00:24:57,620 --> 00:24:58,990
My business is rather urgent.

519
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:01,950
Well, I've got to go out
to do my shopping

520
00:25:01,950 --> 00:25:03,580
and I don't know if Mrs. Kilgour

521
00:25:03,580 --> 00:25:05,580
would like any strangers
nosing about.

522
00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:07,170
Quite all right, I assure you.

523
00:25:07,170 --> 00:25:08,670
Well, I've got to be off.

524
00:25:08,670 --> 00:25:12,170
You two wait in the parlor
and no smoking either.

525
00:25:12,170 --> 00:25:17,130
Mrs. Kilgour says it
smells up the house.

526
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:19,700
- Funny old girl, Holmes.
- Hmm.

527
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,200
- Park Lane.
- Park Lane?

528
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,370
And what would the likes of
you be doing in Park Lane?

529
00:25:41,370 --> 00:25:43,330
Now don't worry
about the fare, ducky.

530
00:25:43,330 --> 00:25:46,360
If ya knows how to get
to Park Lane, now off it.

531
00:25:51,460 --> 00:25:53,590
You know, Holmes,
I've been thinking.

532
00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:54,640
There must have been
something hidden

533
00:25:54,670 --> 00:25:57,420
in that box of old Stinky's.

534
00:25:57,430 --> 00:26:00,800
Stolen jewelry possibly.

535
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,190
- What's up Holmes?
- Listen.

536
00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:08,060
Well, it's just the steam
in the water pipes.

537
00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:15,230
Watson!

538
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,010
Great Scott!

539
00:26:20,410 --> 00:26:22,880
Come along, Holmes,
get her on the chair here.

540
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,410
Shh. It's all right, my dear.

541
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:30,750
There, there, there.
Now don't worry.

542
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:32,750
It's all over.

543
00:26:32,750 --> 00:26:35,050
There you are, dear.
Don't cry anymore.

544
00:26:35,050 --> 00:26:37,840
She tied me up and
shut me in the cupboard.

545
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,680
I know, I know.

546
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,590
She won't come back.

547
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,720
Did you show her
your new musical box?

548
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,350
Yes. She said she
wanted to hear it play

549
00:26:46,350 --> 00:26:50,100
- and as soon as I showed it to her she grabbed a hold...
- I know. I know now.

550
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:52,350
Now don't worry, we'll buy
you a new musical box.

551
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:54,610
Yes, my dear,
the best one in London.

552
00:26:54,610 --> 00:26:56,780
Watson.

553
00:26:56,780 --> 00:26:58,940
Oh, what a fool,
what a fool I've been.

554
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:00,280
What do you mean, Holmes?

555
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,470
She took the musical box
out of this house

556
00:27:01,490 --> 00:27:03,070
in that market basket

557
00:27:03,070 --> 00:27:04,830
right under our very noses.

558
00:27:04,830 --> 00:27:08,000
Why would the Kilgour charwoman
want to take the music box?

559
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,580
She isn't the Kilgour charwoman

560
00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:11,460
she's a consummate actress.

561
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:13,880
An extremely clever, unscrupulous
woman who will stop at nothing.

562
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,250
Take care of the child,
will you, old fellow,

563
00:27:15,250 --> 00:27:17,000
till her parents get back.

564
00:27:17,010 --> 00:27:19,300
- Explain everything to them.
- Of course I will.

565
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:21,180
But Holmes, where are you going?

566
00:27:21,180 --> 00:27:22,970
Somewhere, somehow

567
00:27:22,970 --> 00:27:25,300
I must get to the young lady who
bought that third musical box

568
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:27,010
before our opponents find her.

569
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:29,450
I only hope that
I won't be too late.

570
00:27:34,770 --> 00:27:38,070
Now, now, now, darling
you mustn't cry anymore.

571
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:39,400
Cheer up.

572
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,570
Would you... would you
like to hear old uncle

573
00:27:41,570 --> 00:27:44,000
make a noise like a duck?

574
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,250
Oh, sorry. Huh.

575
00:28:20,190 --> 00:28:22,240
Now, ladies and gentlemen
how much am I offered

576
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,370
for this beautiful laced
Dresden china figurine?

577
00:28:26,370 --> 00:28:28,240
A lady of the French court.

578
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,450
Now this is the genuine article.

579
00:28:31,450 --> 00:28:33,540
What a beautiful ornament
for your mantelpiece

580
00:28:33,540 --> 00:28:36,210
as a centerpiece on
the dining room table.

581
00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:38,290
Now will somebody
start me for ten pounds?

582
00:28:38,290 --> 00:28:40,300
Will somebody start me
for ten pounds?

583
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:42,050
Eight pounds?

584
00:28:42,050 --> 00:28:43,510
Seven pounds?

585
00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:44,840
All right five.

586
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Five pounds is offered.
Five pounds is offered.

587
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,810
Five pounds is offered.

588
00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:48,130
Five pounds ten.

589
00:28:48,140 --> 00:28:51,560
Five pounds fifteen,
five pounds fifteen.

590
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,520
Six pounds is offered.
Six pounds, six pounds,

591
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,230
going once, going twice,

592
00:28:55,230 --> 00:28:57,020
the third and the last call
we're all done.

593
00:28:57,020 --> 00:28:59,540
Sold to the lady from
Trikland for six pounds.

594
00:29:01,150 --> 00:29:04,780
Next we have a real museum
piece ladies and gentlemen.

595
00:29:04,780 --> 00:29:07,410
A fine nineteenth century doll.

596
00:29:07,410 --> 00:29:10,160
The costume, an exact replica
of the holiday clothes worn

597
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,330
by the Hungarian peasant women.

598
00:29:12,330 --> 00:29:14,500
Now ladies and gentlemen,

599
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,580
an article like this would cost him fifteen
to twenty pounds in a west end shop.

600
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:19,460
I'm not going to ask
for anything like that.

601
00:29:19,460 --> 00:29:20,880
Who will give me
two pounds for it?

602
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,460
Two pounds, anybody
offer me two pounds?

603
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:24,590
Two pounds,
for the Hungarian, two...

604
00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:25,650
One pound?

605
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,910
Will anybody give me one pound?

606
00:29:26,930 --> 00:29:28,840
Anybody offer me
one pound for the doll?

607
00:29:28,850 --> 00:29:31,510
One pound is offered, ladies and gentlemen.
One pound is offered.

608
00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:34,520
Now I'm not going to waste
your valuable time or mine

609
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,310
in trying to get one half of what
this beautiful doll is worth.

610
00:29:37,310 --> 00:29:40,770
If the young lady can steal it for
one pound that's her good fortune.

611
00:29:40,770 --> 00:29:42,480
So, it's going once,
it's going twice,

612
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,070
the third and last call,
anymore?

613
00:29:45,070 --> 00:29:48,030
Sold to the young lady
for one pound.

614
00:29:48,030 --> 00:29:50,070
Now, ladies and gentlemen
may I draw your attention

615
00:29:50,070 --> 00:29:52,030
to something, which may be,
a great surprise to you,

616
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,830
worthy of any collection.

617
00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:56,750
The only other one like it
is in the British museum.

618
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:59,880
It's a Ming vase of
the seventh dynasty.

619
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,960
This vase lay in
a large collection

620
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,010
somewhere outside Rome for over
two centuries I understand.

621
00:30:06,010 --> 00:30:07,420
It was just discovered there

622
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:09,760
by the noted antiquarian
Sir Andrew Copperstone.

623
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,050
Now, some of you may remember
Sir Andrew Copperstone.

624
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:13,930
Besides being a world
traveled antiquarian

625
00:30:13,930 --> 00:30:16,130
he's also a gentleman writer.

626
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,650
The girl with the parcel
in her hands, that's her.

627
00:30:23,650 --> 00:30:25,400
Are you sure that's the girl?

628
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,360
She fits perfectly the
auctioneer's description.

629
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,430
Follow her, Hamid.

630
00:31:07,110 --> 00:31:08,820
It's lovely, dear.

631
00:31:08,820 --> 00:31:10,240
And only one pound.

632
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,780
We can get at least
three for it.

633
00:31:11,780 --> 00:31:14,280
Easily. I'll go make some tea.

634
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,210
- I could do with a cup.
- Right.

635
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:22,540
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

636
00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:23,960
I'm looking for a birthday gift

637
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,210
for a seven-year-old girl.
What would you suggest?

638
00:31:26,210 --> 00:31:27,880
We have some lovely dolls.

639
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,550
- Now this Hungarian...
- I think she has enough dolls already.

640
00:31:30,550 --> 00:31:32,090
Books are always welcome.

641
00:31:32,090 --> 00:31:34,300
Well, I'm looking for
something a little different.

642
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:36,810
Well, that's rather cute,
what is it?

643
00:31:36,810 --> 00:31:38,560
Oh, that's a musical box.

644
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Children always love them

645
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,520
and this is an
exceptionally nice one.

646
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,940
It plays many tunes.

647
00:31:51,530 --> 00:31:53,360
- Have you any others?
- Yes.

648
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,240
If you'll just step this way.

649
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,120
I have only two left.

650
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:02,920
How nice.

651
00:32:07,710 --> 00:32:09,340
Are you sure
this is all you have?

652
00:32:09,340 --> 00:32:10,530
I'm sorry

653
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:12,380
they're rather hard to find,
you know.

654
00:32:12,380 --> 00:32:14,300
That's our entire allotment.

655
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:17,430
I did have one other but I sold
it earlier this afternoon.

656
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:18,930
But it was only a
plain wooden one.

657
00:32:18,930 --> 00:32:21,100
It wouldn't have been a
very nice gift for a child.

658
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:22,810
Really?

659
00:32:22,810 --> 00:32:25,900
Do you happen to know
who the purchaser was?

660
00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:28,480
Why yes, he left his card

661
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,560
just in case anyone
should inquire for him.

662
00:32:38,030 --> 00:32:39,780
How interesting.

663
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,710
I'm sorry but I'm afraid I'll
have to look a bit further.

664
00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:47,250
Thank you anyway.

665
00:32:47,250 --> 00:32:49,590
Good afternoon. Thank you.

666
00:33:14,110 --> 00:33:15,720
Cabbie.

667
00:33:18,490 --> 00:33:20,910
- Follow that cab.
- Here now, what?

668
00:33:20,910 --> 00:33:23,390
- Scotland Yard.
- Hop in.

669
00:33:30,420 --> 00:33:33,760
Sherlock Holmes,
I might have known.

670
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,470
We thought we were the hunters

671
00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:38,640
instead of which
we're the hunted.

672
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,180
We've been fooled. We played
right into his hands.

673
00:33:42,180 --> 00:33:45,730
Of course, he's had us followed.

674
00:33:45,730 --> 00:33:47,730
Don't look.

675
00:33:47,730 --> 00:33:50,480
The man in front of the toyshop.

676
00:33:52,230 --> 00:33:56,770
Hamid, turn sharp right at the
next corner and again at the next.

677
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,080
No photograph of her,
commissioner,

678
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,410
as I expected.

679
00:34:06,410 --> 00:34:08,080
She's not a known criminal.

680
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,250
But how are you expect to
know her if you do find her?

681
00:34:10,250 --> 00:34:12,840
After all she was disguised
as a charwoman.

682
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,630
Don't worry, old fellow

683
00:34:14,630 --> 00:34:16,840
If I ever see her again
I'll recognize her.

684
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,260
Well, it won't be long till
we know who they are

685
00:34:19,260 --> 00:34:20,840
and from where they operate.

686
00:34:20,850 --> 00:34:22,180
Who's covering them?

687
00:34:22,180 --> 00:34:23,930
Sergeant Thompson
is following them, sir.

688
00:34:23,930 --> 00:34:26,020
They won't get away from
him, he's a good man.

689
00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:29,100
He could have arrested them at Kibbutz's
Toy Shop if we had any proof.

690
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:31,400
But we know that they
killed Emery.

691
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,190
Proof, my dear fellow,
we must have proof.

692
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:38,700
We have x-rayed it, sir. There's
nothing whatever concealed in the box.

693
00:34:38,700 --> 00:34:40,850
We'll have a look at the plates.

694
00:34:48,830 --> 00:34:50,960
There must be some clue

695
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,750
and it's probably so obvious
that we've all overlooked it.

696
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:56,550
Seems to me were up against
a bunch of lunatics.

697
00:34:58,170 --> 00:35:00,430
Not lunatics, my dear fellow,

698
00:35:00,430 --> 00:35:02,590
extremely astute,
cold-blooded murderers.

699
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,300
Well, what can these
little musical boxes

700
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:06,140
have in them
that's so important?

701
00:35:06,140 --> 00:35:08,560
Don't forget they were
made in Dartmoor Prison.

702
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,350
Why you can smuggle stuff
into prison but not out.

703
00:35:11,350 --> 00:35:13,270
Do you want us to break
the box apart, sir,

704
00:35:13,270 --> 00:35:15,570
to see if there's anything
the x-ray hasn't caught?

705
00:35:15,570 --> 00:35:16,760
No, not yet.

706
00:35:16,780 --> 00:35:17,780
Do you mind if I take it?

707
00:35:17,820 --> 00:35:19,520
- Certainly.
- Thanks.

708
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,410
The governor of Dartmoor
Prison informed us, sir,

709
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:33,750
in answer to
Mr. Holmes' question

710
00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:36,670
that all three musical boxes
were made by the same convict,

711
00:35:36,670 --> 00:35:39,340
John Davidson,
serving a 7-year term, sir.

712
00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:41,170
- Davidson?
- The Bank of England plates.

713
00:35:41,180 --> 00:35:42,870
- That will be all.
- Yes, sir.

714
00:35:44,050 --> 00:35:45,890
Now were getting somewhere.

715
00:35:45,890 --> 00:35:47,390
Wait a minute

716
00:35:47,390 --> 00:35:49,430
how did you know about
the plates, Mr. Holmes?

717
00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:51,310
I'm a student of crime,
Inspector.

718
00:35:51,310 --> 00:35:53,480
I make my business to
know about such things

719
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,480
and when the name of
Davidson was mentioned.

720
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,270
Well, who is this
fellow Davidson?

721
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,820
As long as Mr. Holmes seems
to know all about it already

722
00:35:59,820 --> 00:36:03,990
I suppose there's no
harm in telling you.

723
00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:05,910
Two years ago in London

724
00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:08,910
there occurred a robbery
of such tremendous importance,

725
00:36:08,910 --> 00:36:10,790
although the stolen
articles themselves

726
00:36:10,790 --> 00:36:12,790
have no intrinsic value
whatsoever,

727
00:36:12,790 --> 00:36:14,420
but the home secretary
was instrumental

728
00:36:14,420 --> 00:36:17,210
in seeing that not word of it
appeared in any newspaper.

729
00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:20,380
But you never told me
anything about this, Holmes.

730
00:36:20,380 --> 00:36:22,170
You were away at the time.

731
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:25,890
Articles of no intrinsic value
and yet of such importance.

732
00:36:25,890 --> 00:36:27,390
I don't understand.

733
00:36:27,390 --> 00:36:28,810
When Davidson was apprehended

734
00:36:28,810 --> 00:36:31,220
within fifteen minutes
of committing the theft

735
00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:34,140
but by that time he'd hidden
the articles in question

736
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:35,900
and they've yet to be found.

737
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:38,110
Before going further,
Doctor Watson,

738
00:36:38,110 --> 00:36:40,980
I must inform you that this matter is not
to be mentioned outside of this room.

739
00:36:40,990 --> 00:36:44,030
Of course not. Do I look
like a man who'd gossip?

740
00:36:44,030 --> 00:36:46,870
Let's not go into that now,
old fellow, shall we?

741
00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:49,330
Davidson had been
employed for years

742
00:36:49,330 --> 00:36:51,450
in a position of extreme trust

743
00:36:51,450 --> 00:36:53,460
by the engravings department
of the Bank of England.

744
00:36:53,460 --> 00:36:56,040
The articles he stole
were nothing less

745
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,210
than a complete
duplicate set of plates

746
00:36:58,210 --> 00:37:00,880
- for printing five-pound notes.
- What?

747
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,130
- The Bank of England's own plates?
- Precisely.

748
00:37:04,130 --> 00:37:06,890
And with those plates a gang
of crooks could flood England

749
00:37:06,890 --> 00:37:08,220
with five-pound notes,

750
00:37:08,220 --> 00:37:10,470
not forged in the usual
sense of the word

751
00:37:10,470 --> 00:37:13,390
but notes undetectable from
genuine Bank of England notes

752
00:37:13,390 --> 00:37:15,770
- in any way whatsoever.
- Good heavens.

753
00:37:15,770 --> 00:37:19,150
Any whisper at all might have
resulted in enormous damage

754
00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:21,110
in shaking public confidence
in the treasury.

755
00:37:21,110 --> 00:37:23,690
We tried everything after
we arrested Davidson.

756
00:37:23,690 --> 00:37:25,020
Offered him a shorter sentence

757
00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:26,450
if he'd tell us where
he'd hidden the plates.

758
00:37:26,450 --> 00:37:28,990
Why we even put in
Scotland Yard men

759
00:37:28,990 --> 00:37:31,870
with him as cell mates
but no results.

760
00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:34,410
Obviously, Davidson is a
man of strong character

761
00:37:34,410 --> 00:37:36,710
and infinite patience.

762
00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:39,670
Yet suddenly he feels impelled
to smuggle out the secret

763
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:42,170
of the hiding place of the
plates to his confederates.

764
00:37:42,170 --> 00:37:43,550
Why?

765
00:37:43,550 --> 00:37:46,010
I don't understand, Mr. Holmes.

766
00:37:46,010 --> 00:37:48,010
Well, for example,

767
00:37:48,010 --> 00:37:49,890
has the Bank of England
made any plans

768
00:37:49,890 --> 00:37:52,560
to radically change the
design of the five pound note

769
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,430
so that, say uh,
seven years from now

770
00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:58,140
notes made from the stolen
plates would be worthless?

771
00:37:58,150 --> 00:38:01,360
Confidentially, Mr. Holmes,
such a move was discussed

772
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,650
but replacing all the five
pound notes in circulation

773
00:38:03,650 --> 00:38:05,280
would be such a herculean task

774
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,700
that nothing's been done
about it as yet.

775
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:09,110
I see.

776
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,370
Of course there is another
possible explanation.

777
00:38:11,370 --> 00:38:12,830
Davidson didn't have much time

778
00:38:12,830 --> 00:38:15,040
to find a hiding place
before he was captured.

779
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,960
He may be afraid

780
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,000
that the plates will be accidentally
discovered before he's released,

781
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,920
hence his anxiety to
communicate their whereabouts

782
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,420
to his confederates
as soon as possible.

783
00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:28,720
I believe you hit it,
Mr. Holmes.

784
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:33,890
I'm sure that the message is
contained in this musical box,

785
00:38:33,890 --> 00:38:36,180
or rather in all
three musical boxes

786
00:38:36,180 --> 00:38:39,600
since possession of all
three seems to be essential.

787
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,730
Our opponents have two thirds of the
puzzle, only we have one third.

788
00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:45,030
Well, what are you
going to do, Holmes?

789
00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:50,300
Try to deduce the message from
the one third that we have.

790
00:39:27,780 --> 00:39:33,450
It's the same tune as the one
played by Emery's musical box.

791
00:39:33,450 --> 00:39:35,370
And yet it's different.

792
00:39:35,370 --> 00:39:36,950
Sounds the same to me.

793
00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:40,080
The tune.

794
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,460
Somehow the tune
is the key to the mystery.

795
00:39:45,460 --> 00:39:47,550
It must be the tune.

796
00:39:47,550 --> 00:39:51,510
Otherwise, why use three musical
boxes to convey the message?

797
00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:53,430
Why not collar boxes
or shoe boxes?

798
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,140
Yes?

799
00:39:57,140 --> 00:40:01,140
- Oh, it's for you, Inspector.
- Oh, thank you, sir.

800
00:40:01,140 --> 00:40:04,480
Inspector Hopkins speaking.

801
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,900
What?

802
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,690
Where?

803
00:40:09,940 --> 00:40:11,270
Goldess Green Station reports

804
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,740
they've just found
Sergeant Thompson's body.

805
00:40:13,740 --> 00:40:15,110
From the tire marks
on his clothes

806
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,030
he was apparently
run over by a taxi.

807
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,250
What an unfortunate accident.

808
00:40:20,250 --> 00:40:23,290
Not an accident, my dear fellow.

809
00:40:23,290 --> 00:40:25,170
I'm afraid it's murder.

How are you, Joe?

Fine, thank you.

I want you to meet a friend of
mine, Doctor Watson. Joe Cisto.

00:42:29,290 --> 00:42:32,210
- Oh well, any friend of Mr. Holmes is a friend of mine.
- How are you, Joe?

850
00:42:32,210 --> 00:42:34,420
He did me a good turn once
that I'll never forget.

851
00:42:34,420 --> 00:42:36,920
Yes, I cleared Joe of a
most unpleasant charge.

852
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,840
- Murder no less.
- Oh really?

853
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,760
By proving to the
satisfaction of the police

854
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:41,860
that he was busy at the time

855
00:42:41,890 --> 00:42:43,300
blowing open someone's safe.

856
00:42:43,310 --> 00:42:45,810
- That's right, governor.
- Good gracious me.

857
00:42:45,810 --> 00:42:49,520
Now Joe, now you can help me.

858
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,850
Come on, buzz off, buzz off.

859
00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:53,440
Come on off it. off it!

860
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,470
Can't a gentleman have some
peace and quiet around here?

861
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:02,410
And you too.

862
00:43:02,410 --> 00:43:03,830
There you are, Mr. Holmes,

863
00:43:03,830 --> 00:43:05,540
now we can have some peace
and quiet around here.

864
00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:06,950
Thank you, Joe.

865
00:43:06,950 --> 00:43:09,330
There's five pounds
in this for you.

866
00:43:09,330 --> 00:43:11,750
Well, I wouldn't want to
take it on myself, sir,

867
00:43:11,750 --> 00:43:14,040
but I'd get somebody to
do it for you far for that.

868
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,670
You don't know what
the job is yet.

869
00:43:15,670 --> 00:43:18,380
For five pounds?
Murder ain't it?

870
00:43:18,380 --> 00:43:19,390
What?

871
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,930
No Joe, not murder just music.

872
00:43:21,930 --> 00:43:23,720
I want you to identify
a song for me.

873
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:25,930
Oh, there ain't a song that's
been written that I don't know.

874
00:43:25,930 --> 00:43:27,680
That's why I came to you.

875
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,440
Of course, the violin is
more my instrument but,

876
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,000
oh well, here we go.
Now listen to this Joe.

877
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:42,200
Wait a minute,
you're playing that wrong.

878
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,700
That should be 'E'
natural not 'E' flat.

879
00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:48,660
- You know the song?
- Oh yes, it's an old Australian song called...

880
00:43:48,660 --> 00:43:51,080
'The Swag Man' but you're
playing it all wrong.

881
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,090
That's what I'd hoped you say.

882
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,640
Now listen again, Joe.

883
00:44:00,130 --> 00:44:01,970
That's the same tune all right

884
00:44:01,970 --> 00:44:04,430
but you're making different mistakes
than you did the first time.

885
00:44:04,430 --> 00:44:06,430
No, not mistakes, Joe.
Call them variations.

886
00:44:06,430 --> 00:44:09,680
Here, play the song for me,
will you, the way it's written.

887
00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:33,120
- There you are.
- Thank you, Joe.

888
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,750
What's it mean, Holmes?

889
00:44:35,750 --> 00:44:37,080
You on to something?

890
00:44:37,090 --> 00:44:38,590
Perhaps.

891
00:44:38,590 --> 00:44:40,380
I don't know yet.

892
00:44:40,380 --> 00:44:43,170
It's probably a
code of some sort.

893
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:45,890
Joe?

894
00:44:45,890 --> 00:44:48,220
Could you write the
song down for me

895
00:44:48,220 --> 00:44:49,680
the way it was
originally written?

896
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,640
Oh sure, Mr. Holmes
but it'll take a few minutes.

897
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,340
Here, Mabel.

898
00:44:56,110 --> 00:44:58,860
Pale ale. Come on,
hop to it, on with it.

899
00:45:11,410 --> 00:45:13,160
Well, obviously
it isn't the lyrics.

900
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,580
No combination of those words

901
00:45:14,580 --> 00:45:16,040
made any sense at all.

902
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,630
The variations in the way

903
00:45:17,630 --> 00:45:19,130
Emery's musical
box played the tune

904
00:45:19,130 --> 00:45:21,340
are different from the
variations of the one we have.

905
00:45:21,340 --> 00:45:22,670
- You sure?
- Quite.

906
00:45:22,670 --> 00:45:24,380
You see, I took the
trouble to memorize

907
00:45:24,380 --> 00:45:26,510
the tune as played by
Emery's box

908
00:45:26,510 --> 00:45:28,050
that night we were
with him in his flat.

909
00:45:28,050 --> 00:45:29,430
Holmes, you amaze me.

910
00:45:29,430 --> 00:45:30,710
Elementary, my dear fellow,

911
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,220
one of the first principles
in solving crime

912
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:35,640
is never to disregard anything
no matter how trivial.

913
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,270
But why the three boxes?
Why not one?

914
00:45:38,270 --> 00:45:40,650
Because the message
was obviously too long

915
00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:43,570
to be conveyed by
any one variation.

916
00:45:43,570 --> 00:45:45,610
Then there's the third box,

917
00:45:45,610 --> 00:45:48,160
the one that woman took
from the Kilgours,

918
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,990
that contains yet
another set of variations.

919
00:45:50,990 --> 00:45:53,910
Yes, though it's all beyond me.

920
00:45:53,910 --> 00:45:55,500
Well, all we have to do now

921
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:57,460
is to find the secret
of the variations,

922
00:45:57,460 --> 00:46:00,100
not a very easy problem
to solve, my dear fellow.

923
00:46:04,510 --> 00:46:05,880
Hello.

924
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,630
What's up?

925
00:46:10,050 --> 00:46:11,750
We've had company.

926
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,670
I say this is outrageous.

927
00:46:21,690 --> 00:46:23,690
Ask Mrs. Hudson to
come in here will you?

928
00:46:23,690 --> 00:46:25,300
Right.

929
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,270
Mrs. Hudson?

930
00:46:32,530 --> 00:46:34,200
Yes.

931
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,620
Oh, there you are. Will you
come up here at once please?

932
00:46:36,620 --> 00:46:38,320
Oh, coming, sir.

933
00:46:53,140 --> 00:46:56,470
Mercy me, Mr. Holmes,
what has happened?

934
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,560
Who called while we
were out, Mrs. Hudson?

935
00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,980
Just a young lady,

936
00:46:59,980 --> 00:47:02,100
the one who said you wanted
her to wait for you.

937
00:47:02,110 --> 00:47:03,860
And a nice little old
gentlemen with her.

938
00:47:03,860 --> 00:47:06,070
- Our friends again, Watson.
- Friends?

939
00:47:06,070 --> 00:47:07,440
What did the young
lady look like?

940
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,320
Oh, I couldn't see her face

941
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,240
she had a heavy black veil on

942
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:14,660
but she had such a
nice way with her.

943
00:47:14,660 --> 00:47:19,910
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes
if I've done anything wrong

944
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,750
but you did say I should always let
clients come in and wait for you.

945
00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:25,290
Don't worry, Mrs. Hudson,
don't worry.

946
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:27,260
You had no way of knowing.

947
00:47:27,260 --> 00:47:28,590
It's quite all right.
Quite all right.

948
00:47:28,590 --> 00:47:30,650
Now don't worry, Mrs. Hudson.

949
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,090
Don't worry?

950
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:37,770
Well where on earth
is the musical box?

951
00:47:37,770 --> 00:47:39,600
They didn't get it.

952
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,060
Didn't get it?

953
00:47:41,060 --> 00:47:42,250
Where is it?

954
00:47:42,270 --> 00:47:44,770
- It's in your hand.
- Huh?

955
00:47:44,770 --> 00:47:46,610
In that biscuit jar.

956
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,370
Take the biscuits off the top.

957
00:47:52,780 --> 00:47:57,870
Now put your hand inside
and you'll find the music box.

958
00:47:57,870 --> 00:48:01,860
Well done, Holmes.
Well done. Amazing.

959
00:48:22,940 --> 00:48:24,650
Nice fresh smell.

960
00:48:24,650 --> 00:48:26,940
Like a pub after closing time.

961
00:48:32,530 --> 00:48:34,070
I say, Holmes?

962
00:48:34,070 --> 00:48:35,780
What?

963
00:48:35,780 --> 00:48:37,530
It's morning.

964
00:48:37,530 --> 00:48:40,890
Allow me to congratulate you on
a brilliant bit of deduction.

965
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:49,250
It's not a transposition,

966
00:48:49,250 --> 00:48:52,590
not a polygraph
transposition, not a trigraph,

967
00:48:52,590 --> 00:48:54,970
nor any known form of decoding.

968
00:48:54,970 --> 00:48:57,090
How about the Morse code
have you tried that?

969
00:48:57,100 --> 00:48:59,140
Yes, at about three
o'clock this morning.

970
00:48:59,140 --> 00:49:01,610
I'm sorry, old man.
I was only trying to help.

971
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,530
Oh, do me a favor, not again.

972
00:49:20,540 --> 00:49:22,660
I must have heard that
thing a thousand times.

973
00:49:22,660 --> 00:49:24,270
Kept me awake all night.

974
00:49:31,210 --> 00:49:33,760
Not a very distinguished
composition I grant you.

975
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,720
You know perfectly well I don't
know one tune from the other.

976
00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:39,890
When I was a kid my people tried
to have me taught the piano.

977
00:49:39,890 --> 00:49:42,640
I always felt sorry for
that old teacher of mine.

978
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,430
The poor old girl
finally reached the point

979
00:49:44,430 --> 00:49:46,440
of numbering the keys for me.

980
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:47,720
One-two-three-four.

981
00:49:47,730 --> 00:49:50,270
Even then I never
progressed beyond...

982
00:49:50,270 --> 00:49:52,070
Numbering the keys, Watson!

983
00:49:52,070 --> 00:49:54,860
The nineteenth key
of the keyboard

984
00:49:54,860 --> 00:49:57,360
is the nineteenth
letter of the alphabet.

985
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,320
'S'. Here.

986
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,700
Mark this down while I give it
to you, old fellow, will you?

987
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:05,660
The first altered note,
write 'S' first.

988
00:50:05,660 --> 00:50:11,210
Now the eighth key is 'H',

989
00:50:11,210 --> 00:50:14,510
the fifth key 'E',

990
00:50:14,510 --> 00:50:18,050
the twelfth key 'L',

991
00:50:18,050 --> 00:50:20,340
the sixth key 'F'.

992
00:50:20,350 --> 00:50:25,060
S-H-E-L-F, shelf.

993
00:50:25,060 --> 00:50:27,390
Your piano lessons were
not in vain, old fellow.

994
00:50:27,390 --> 00:50:29,460
You've solved it. Thank you.

995
00:50:30,730 --> 00:50:32,430
Thanks, old bean.

996
00:50:33,860 --> 00:50:36,360
We now have two
thirds of a message.

997
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,240
Behind books,

998
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:40,530
third shelf, secretary,

999
00:50:40,530 --> 00:50:43,490
Doctor 'S'.

1000
00:50:43,490 --> 00:50:45,660
Presumably,

1001
00:50:45,660 --> 00:50:48,500
these are the first and second
portions of the message.

1002
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:51,290
And this gang has the first
and third parts of it.

1003
00:50:51,290 --> 00:50:53,380
- Precisely.
- Then it's a stalemate?

1004
00:50:53,380 --> 00:50:55,670
Yes commissioner but we
can't leave it like that.

1005
00:50:55,670 --> 00:50:57,880
There's no doubt in my mind
that they'll try to secure

1006
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,090
our third of the
message that's missing.

1007
00:51:00,090 --> 00:51:02,760
Well, I assume you've taken every
precaution to guard the Clifford music box.

1008
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,180
Oh yes, it's carefully
hidden at Baker Street

1009
00:51:04,180 --> 00:51:05,280
with Doctor Watson on guard.

1010
00:51:05,310 --> 00:51:07,980
However, I'm reasonably
certain that,

1011
00:51:07,980 --> 00:51:11,190
difficult as it may be,
we can find the plates

1012
00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:13,440
even without the missing
part of the message.

1013
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,320
"Behind books, third shelf,

1014
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,070
secretary, Doctor 'S'."

1015
00:51:19,070 --> 00:51:21,740
Well, outside of the fact that Davidson
hid the Bank of England plates

1016
00:51:21,740 --> 00:51:23,160
somewhere in London, Mr. Holmes,

1017
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,200
I don't see that we've
progressed at all.

1018
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:30,710
Allow me to point out to you,
sir, the key words Doctor 'S'.

1019
00:51:30,710 --> 00:51:33,830
It looks as if the plates were
hidden in the house of a doctor.

1020
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,300
Whether the 'S' stands for
his first or last initial

1021
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:39,220
remains to be determined by
a process of elimination.

1022
00:51:39,220 --> 00:51:41,470
Well, there must be ten
thousand doctors in London

1023
00:51:41,470 --> 00:51:44,140
with 'S' for a first
or last initial.

1024
00:51:44,140 --> 00:51:46,260
Precisely and every one of them

1025
00:51:46,260 --> 00:51:47,930
will have to be
questioned in person.

1026
00:51:47,930 --> 00:51:50,560
That's why I say this is
a task for Scotland Yard.

1027
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,440
It's a task all right

1028
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,730
but Scotland Yard has searched worse
haystacks and found a needle.

1029
00:51:55,730 --> 00:51:57,730
Well, for the time being

1030
00:51:57,730 --> 00:52:00,190
I'll leave the matter in
your hands, gentlemen.

1031
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,820
We'll call you if and when we get a
lead on our mysterious Doctor S.

1032
00:52:04,830 --> 00:52:05,970
Thank you.

1033
00:52:05,990 --> 00:52:07,090
In the meantime,
I intend to follow up

1034
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,550
a little clue concerning
a cigarette.

1035
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,670
You are certain of the
identification of the tobacco?

1036
00:52:18,670 --> 00:52:19,910
Absolutely.

1037
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,550
I have made up
this special blend

1038
00:52:21,550 --> 00:52:24,010
for only three customers.

1039
00:52:24,010 --> 00:52:26,550
It is almost pure Egyptian

1040
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,520
with a mixture of
Latakia for added body

1041
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,690
and a pinch of Perique,

1042
00:52:32,690 --> 00:52:35,100
merely a whisper
as one might say

1043
00:52:35,110 --> 00:52:37,360
- for elusive fragrance.
- Yes Yes,

1044
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,820
and the three customers?

1045
00:52:39,820 --> 00:52:43,280
Major Wilson in Bombay, India.

1046
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,030
Mrs. Catherine Lemington
Smith in Ireland.

1047
00:52:47,030 --> 00:52:48,740
Yes and the third?

1048
00:52:48,740 --> 00:52:52,870
Mrs. Hilda Courtney of Park
Mansions, Briarstone Square.

1049
00:52:52,870 --> 00:52:55,080
Thank you. Thank you very much.
You've been most helpful.

1050
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,670
It is a pleasure to of
been service, Mr. Holmes.

1051
00:53:07,850 --> 00:53:09,220
Yes?

1052
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:10,460
Mrs. Courtney?

1053
00:53:10,470 --> 00:53:11,440
Yes.

1054
00:53:11,470 --> 00:53:13,390
My name is Sherlock Holmes.

1055
00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:16,020
- Do come in.
- Thank you.

1056
00:53:16,020 --> 00:53:18,590
I've heard of you,
of course, Mr. Holmes.

1057
00:53:20,110 --> 00:53:23,240
I believe we have a mutual
friend in Sir Edward Brookdale.

1058
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:25,150
He's spoken to me
of you quite often.

1059
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:26,670
Indeed.

1060
00:53:28,910 --> 00:53:32,450
And to what good fortune
am I indebted for this visit?

1061
00:53:32,450 --> 00:53:34,330
I think you know, Mrs. Courtney.

1062
00:53:34,330 --> 00:53:38,580
Well, I did get a summons
for speeding last week

1063
00:53:38,590 --> 00:53:41,800
but outside of that I don't think
I'm of any interest to the police.

1064
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,300
Oh, come now, Mrs. Courtney,

1065
00:53:43,300 --> 00:53:45,760
you seemed to forget that
you and I have met before.

1066
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,680
I'm sorry,

1067
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,300
I'm sure I would have remembered
meeting the great Sherlock Holmes.

1068
00:53:50,310 --> 00:53:52,970
- Please sit down.
- Thank you.

1069
00:53:52,970 --> 00:53:54,770
You say we met before?

1070
00:53:54,770 --> 00:53:56,560
Yes.

1071
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:01,270
At the home of Mr. & Mrs.
Kilgour, 143 B Hampton Road.

1072
00:54:01,270 --> 00:54:02,900
Kilgour?

1073
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:06,360
I don't think I know
anyone of that name.

1074
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,610
Well, I didn't say
you knew them,

1075
00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:11,990
as a matter of fact, you called
on them when they were out.

1076
00:54:11,990 --> 00:54:14,620
Why I don't understand,
Mr. Holmes.

1077
00:54:14,620 --> 00:54:16,120
Really?

1078
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,210
You were dressed
rather differently.

1079
00:54:18,210 --> 00:54:20,210
Indeed.

1080
00:54:20,210 --> 00:54:22,090
Cigarette?

1081
00:54:23,250 --> 00:54:24,050
Thank you.

1082
00:54:40,900 --> 00:54:43,610
You know Mrs. Courtney,
people generally forget,

1083
00:54:43,610 --> 00:54:46,190
you know assuming your disguise,

1084
00:54:46,190 --> 00:54:47,860
that the shape of the ear

1085
00:54:47,860 --> 00:54:49,950
is almost an infallible
means of recognition

1086
00:54:49,950 --> 00:54:52,160
and identification
to the trained eye.

1087
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,240
Evidently you've mistaken
me for someone else.

1088
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:55,390
Oh no, not at all,

1089
00:54:55,410 --> 00:54:58,540
though naturally
I expected your denial

1090
00:54:58,540 --> 00:55:01,630
but when you paid your visit
to my rooms at Baker Street

1091
00:55:01,630 --> 00:55:04,040
you carelessly left behind

1092
00:55:04,050 --> 00:55:07,210
an another identification.

1093
00:55:07,220 --> 00:55:11,090
They're identical aren't they?

1094
00:55:11,090 --> 00:55:13,390
Yes, I must admit they are.

1095
00:55:13,390 --> 00:55:15,760
You see Mr. Holmes to
catch one as clever as you

1096
00:55:15,770 --> 00:55:18,350
I had to use a
very special lure.

1097
00:55:18,350 --> 00:55:21,310
I knew you'd be unable to
resist the bait of my cigarette

1098
00:55:21,310 --> 00:55:24,190
having read with great interest
your monograph on the ashes

1099
00:55:24,190 --> 00:55:27,530
of a hundred and forty
different varieties of tobacco.

1100
00:55:27,530 --> 00:55:33,030
I should advise you
not to move, Mr. Holmes.

1101
00:55:33,030 --> 00:55:36,040
I must congratulate you on
your ingenuity, Mrs. Courtney.

1102
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,290
It was indeed a
brilliantly designed trap.

1103
00:55:38,290 --> 00:55:39,960
Thank you, Mr. Holmes.

1104
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,130
Praise from a master
is indeed gratifying.

1105
00:55:43,130 --> 00:55:47,710
I shall always cherish the memory
of your flatter and words.

1106
00:55:47,710 --> 00:55:49,920
Memory?

1107
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:51,760
Precisely.

1108
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,680
I'm afraid these gentlemen have a
most regrettable task to perform.

1109
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:59,350
Unless, of course, you care to
turn over the missing musical box

1110
00:55:59,350 --> 00:56:03,560
with your pledge to take no
action against us in the future.

1111
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,360
I'm afraid that
will be impossible.

1112
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,070
I thought that would
be your answer. Hamid!

1113
00:56:08,070 --> 00:56:09,650
Careful!

1114
00:56:09,650 --> 00:56:12,990
Careful, there's no need
to be unnecessarily rough

1115
00:56:12,990 --> 00:56:14,620
with our distinguished guest.

1116
00:56:14,620 --> 00:56:15,910
You realize, Mr. Holmes,

1117
00:56:15,910 --> 00:56:18,580
that your demise will
not take place here,

1118
00:56:18,580 --> 00:56:22,160
the Corpus Delicti you know?

1119
00:56:22,170 --> 00:56:23,710
Well, naturally.

1120
00:56:23,710 --> 00:56:25,220
Shall we go?

1121
00:56:27,250 --> 00:56:30,670
So fearfully awkward having
a dead body lying about.

1122
00:56:30,670 --> 00:56:32,050
Don't you agree, Mr. Holmes?

1123
00:56:32,050 --> 00:56:33,470
Another dead body shouldn't
weigh too heavily

1124
00:56:33,470 --> 00:56:35,440
on your conscious,
Mrs. Courtney.

1125
00:56:44,940 --> 00:56:47,310
Do you mind if
I have a cigarette?

1126
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,520
Why I don't see why not.

1127
00:57:02,330 --> 00:57:05,000
Be careful, Hamid.

1128
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,200
It's the brakes, they bind.

1129
00:57:09,420 --> 00:57:10,920
Thank you Colonel Cavanaugh,

1130
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,570
it's very considerate of you.

1131
00:57:42,830 --> 00:57:44,660
You'll be happy to know,
Mr. Holmes,

1132
00:57:44,660 --> 00:57:47,740
that your death will
be a painless one.

1133
00:57:49,420 --> 00:57:51,090
Hamid,

1134
00:57:51,090 --> 00:57:54,110
attach this to the
motor of the taxi.

1135
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,090
That little attachment,
my dear Mr. Holmes,

1136
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:03,020
contains the deadly fluid
known as, monosulfide,

1137
00:58:03,020 --> 00:58:05,270
the Germans use it with
gratifying results

1138
00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:08,850
in removing their undesirables.

1139
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:14,780
Start the motor.

1140
00:58:36,590 --> 00:58:38,060
Tape his mouth.

1141
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,830
Now, up with him, Hamid.

1142
00:58:58,530 --> 00:59:03,280
You find yourself like
Muhammad's coffin, Mr. Holmes,

1143
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:08,330
suspended between
heaven and Earth.

1144
00:59:12,210 --> 00:59:15,000
Plenty of fuel in the tank?

1145
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,330
Good.

1146
00:59:16,340 --> 00:59:18,340
It would be too bad to
have anything go wrong

1147
00:59:18,340 --> 00:59:22,190
through so simple an oversight.

1148
01:00:31,210 --> 01:00:32,260
Good afternoon.

1149
01:00:32,290 --> 01:00:33,620
Mr. Sherlock Holmes?

1150
01:00:33,620 --> 01:00:35,290
No, I'm Doctor Watson.

1151
01:00:35,290 --> 01:00:37,630
Oh, of course, Doctor Watson.

1152
01:00:37,630 --> 01:00:39,090
How stupid of me.

1153
01:00:39,090 --> 01:00:41,880
Not at all, it's stupid of me.

1154
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,070
Won't you come in?

1155
01:00:43,090 --> 01:00:45,470
Well, I really came
to see Mr. Holmes.

1156
01:00:45,470 --> 01:00:48,060
Oh I'm afraid he's out. I don't
know when he'll be back.

1157
01:00:48,060 --> 01:00:49,720
Perhaps there's something
I can do.

1158
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,010
Won't you sit down?

1159
01:00:51,020 --> 01:00:52,350
Thank you.

1160
01:00:52,350 --> 01:00:55,230
You know Sherlock Holmes
and I have been engaged

1161
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,020
on a great many cases.

1162
01:00:57,020 --> 01:00:58,820
- Oh, really?
- Yes indeed.

1163
01:00:58,820 --> 01:01:00,690
As a matter of fact,

1164
01:01:00,690 --> 01:01:03,320
at this very moment we're involved
in one of the most baffling...

1165
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,910
Well, won't you tell
me your trouble.

1166
01:01:05,910 --> 01:01:07,240
I may be able to help you.

1167
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,160
That's very kind of you,
Doctor Watson,

1168
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,580
perhaps if I wouldn't
be imposing too much...

1169
01:01:12,580 --> 01:01:13,910
Imposing?

1170
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,420
Oh, it's no imposition,
no imposition at all.

1171
01:01:16,420 --> 01:01:18,040
A pleasure I assure you now.

1172
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,250
- Tell me all about it Miss...
- Miss Williams.

1173
01:01:20,250 --> 01:01:21,960
Mrs. Williams.

1174
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,670
I live in Surrey, Doctor Watson,

1175
01:01:23,670 --> 01:01:26,390
and I've come to London
on sheer desperation.

1176
01:01:26,390 --> 01:01:27,930
My only sister has disappeared

1177
01:01:27,930 --> 01:01:30,260
and the local police seem
utterly unable to find her.

1178
01:01:30,260 --> 01:01:33,060
Well, Holmes and I solved a
case exactly like that once.

1179
01:01:33,060 --> 01:01:35,230
Very interesting as
far as I remember.

1180
01:01:35,230 --> 01:01:37,270
I called it

1181
01:01:37,270 --> 01:01:39,690
"The Adventure Of The
Solitary Cyclist."

1182
01:01:39,690 --> 01:01:42,070
Oh, sorry. Now I
come to think of it,

1183
01:01:42,070 --> 01:01:45,200
it wasn't so very similar,
entirely different now.

1184
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,110
I can't figure
what I was saying.

1185
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,450
Where were we?

1186
01:01:49,450 --> 01:01:51,830
She's only seventeen,
Doctor Watson

1187
01:01:51,830 --> 01:01:53,830
and until she
disappeared last Thursday

1188
01:01:53,830 --> 01:01:57,210
she seemed to be in
the best of spirits.

1189
01:01:57,210 --> 01:01:59,920
Well, possibly a
romantic entanglement.

1190
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:01,840
Oh no, no, nothing of the sort.

1191
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,420
She left no note,
didn't even pack a bag,

1192
01:02:04,420 --> 01:02:06,010
no explanation,

1193
01:02:06,010 --> 01:02:07,550
she just started to
walk to the village

1194
01:02:07,550 --> 01:02:09,760
from our house in broad daylight

1195
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,890
and simply vanished from
the face of the Earth.

1196
01:02:11,890 --> 01:02:14,520
Oh there, there, there, there.

1197
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:15,760
Might I have a glass of water?

1198
01:02:15,770 --> 01:02:18,150
Glass of water,
yes of course. Glass of...

1199
01:02:18,150 --> 01:02:19,840
I'll have one in one minute.

1200
01:02:51,390 --> 01:02:52,440
There you are, my dear.

1201
01:02:52,470 --> 01:02:54,470
Thank you, Doctor Watson.

1202
01:02:54,470 --> 01:02:55,760
Now, now you're
not to cry anymore.

1203
01:02:55,770 --> 01:02:57,640
You must pull yourself together.

1204
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,810
I feel much better already knowing
that you're going to help me.

1205
01:02:59,810 --> 01:03:01,480
Oh, Doctor Watson, look!

1206
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,040
Good heavens!

1207
01:03:06,990 --> 01:03:09,740
Get through, get through
the fire brigade, quickly.

1208
01:03:13,450 --> 01:03:15,950
Haven't you a fire extinguisher?

1209
01:03:15,950 --> 01:03:18,150
By Jove, we have one,
in the kitchen.

1210
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:41,750
Don't you worry, Miss Williams

1211
01:03:41,770 --> 01:03:43,750
we'll have this thing out
in no time.

1212
01:03:53,410 --> 01:03:55,240
Now, that's got it.

1213
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:00,630
Let's get some air.

1214
01:04:02,500 --> 01:04:06,420
Well, you see there was no need
for the fire brigade after all.

1215
01:04:06,420 --> 01:04:09,080
I hope you weren't too
frightened, Miss Williams.

1216
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,800
Oh, gone.

1217
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,390
That's the trouble with women,

1218
01:04:15,390 --> 01:04:17,860
they always lose their
heads in an emergency.

1219
01:04:20,890 --> 01:04:22,270
Hello.

1220
01:04:26,610 --> 01:04:29,860
The musical box.

1221
01:04:29,860 --> 01:04:31,600
Great Scott!

1222
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:36,570
Miss Williams!

1223
01:04:42,500 --> 01:04:43,920
Well?

1224
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:46,160
Good.

1225
01:04:46,170 --> 01:04:47,180
And Holmes?

1226
01:04:47,210 --> 01:04:48,710
By now Mr. Holmes has no doubt

1227
01:04:48,710 --> 01:04:51,300
exchanged his violin for a harp.

1228
01:04:51,300 --> 01:04:54,560
Oh, well assuming that
heaven is his destination.

1229
01:04:56,470 --> 01:04:58,890
And now that we have
the missing musical box.

1230
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:13,320
- Nineteenth note,
- Nineteenth note,

1231
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:17,120
- nineteenth letter.
- Nineteenth letter.

1232
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,950
"S".

1233
01:05:21,290 --> 01:05:23,200
He hasn't been there you say?

1234
01:05:23,210 --> 01:05:25,080
Holmes, where on earth
where have you been?

1235
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,670
I've been trying to
get you at the club,

1236
01:05:26,670 --> 01:05:28,820
at Scotland Yard,
all over London.

1237
01:05:30,550 --> 01:05:32,800
You were looking for
me in the wrong places.

1238
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,880
Holmes, a terrible
thing's happened.

1239
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,430
I've been duped.

1240
01:05:36,430 --> 01:05:38,220
That woman,

1241
01:05:38,220 --> 01:05:40,100
- she made a complete fool of me.
- Well, what do you mean?

1242
01:05:40,100 --> 01:05:42,350
Well, she came here and
let off a smoke bomb.

1243
01:05:42,350 --> 01:05:43,680
I thought the whole
place was on fire

1244
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,020
and my first thought was
to save the musical box.

1245
01:05:46,020 --> 01:05:47,980
No need to say anymore.

1246
01:05:47,980 --> 01:05:49,170
She has the box.

1247
01:05:49,190 --> 01:05:51,270
Yes.

1248
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,900
Don't blame yourself
too much, old fellow.

1249
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:57,560
She is an extremely
clever antagonist.

1250
01:06:00,410 --> 01:06:04,660
Smoke bomb you said?

1251
01:06:04,660 --> 01:06:07,620
Well, you can console
yourself with the thought

1252
01:06:07,630 --> 01:06:10,210
that your charming friend
is at least a reader of yours.

1253
01:06:10,210 --> 01:06:11,400
What do you mean?

1254
01:06:11,420 --> 01:06:13,380
If I remember correctly,

1255
01:06:13,380 --> 01:06:15,670
you wrote about my little experiment
with the smoke and the cry of fire

1256
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,340
in the story you entitled
"A Scandal in Bohemia",

1257
01:06:18,340 --> 01:06:20,220
which has just appeared
in the Strand Magazine.

1258
01:06:20,220 --> 01:06:24,520
All right, all right, old boy,
don't rub it in.

1259
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:29,230
It may cheer you up to know
that she made a fool of me too.

1260
01:06:29,230 --> 01:06:31,400
With that cigarette stub.

1261
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,480
It was planted here for
one express purpose.

1262
01:06:34,490 --> 01:06:36,110
Do we have any bandaging
around this place?

1263
01:06:36,110 --> 01:06:38,700
Bandaging? What's the matter, Holmes?
You hurt?

1264
01:06:38,700 --> 01:06:40,870
Explanations will have
to wait until later,

1265
01:06:40,870 --> 01:06:42,910
at the moment we're
faced with a problem,

1266
01:06:42,910 --> 01:06:44,580
which I fear, is insurmountable.

1267
01:06:44,580 --> 01:06:47,060
- Come over here, old boy, will ya?
- Right.

1268
01:06:48,540 --> 01:06:50,040
Now the opponents
are in possession

1269
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,710
of all three parts of the code

1270
01:06:51,710 --> 01:06:54,420
and here are we while the
Bank of England plates

1271
01:06:54,420 --> 01:06:55,880
pass into their possession.

1272
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:57,630
Cheer up, old fellow, cheer up.

1273
01:06:57,630 --> 01:06:59,340
As Doctor Samuel
Johnson once said

1274
01:06:59,340 --> 01:07:02,100
"There's no problem the
mind of man can set

1275
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:04,360
that the mind of
man cannot solve."

1276
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,530
- What's that, old fellow?
- I was quoting Doctor Samuel Johnson,

1277
01:07:07,530 --> 01:07:10,550
- he said there is no...
- Thank you, Watson, thank you.

1278
01:07:14,020 --> 01:07:16,110
Leaving the front reception room

1279
01:07:16,110 --> 01:07:18,190
we come into the main hall

1280
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,240
where Doctor Johnson was in
the habit of passing through

1281
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,240
to have his meager meals in
the dining room opposite.

1282
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,830
In company with his
friend and biographer,

1283
01:07:26,830 --> 01:07:29,120
James Bosvo.

1284
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,120
We will now pass
up the stairway,

1285
01:07:31,130 --> 01:07:34,340
which remains in it's
natural wood finish.

1286
01:07:34,340 --> 01:07:37,420
Just as it was when the
good doctor was here.

1287
01:07:37,420 --> 01:07:39,170
The framed etching on the wall

1288
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:41,800
is believed to have been
presented to Doctor Johnson

1289
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,640
by the distinguished painter,
Sir Joshua Reynolds.

1290
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,890
I've been told here
that that picture

1291
01:07:47,890 --> 01:07:49,730
was given to him by Mrs. Tarrel

1292
01:07:49,730 --> 01:07:52,190
and its definitely
not a Reynolds.

1293
01:07:52,190 --> 01:07:54,940
Is that important, my dear?

1294
01:07:54,940 --> 01:07:57,160
Oh, I'm sorry.

1295
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,650
This way ladies and
gentlemen please, this way.

1296
01:07:59,650 --> 01:08:01,770
Move along children, move along.

1297
01:08:02,630 --> 01:08:04,320
The secretary's
not on this floor.

1298
01:08:04,330 --> 01:08:05,780
Patience, Hamid.

1299
01:08:05,790 --> 01:08:07,740
- I have a feeling...
- My dear Colonel

1300
01:08:07,750 --> 01:08:11,230
with Sherlock Holmes out of
the way what could go wrong?

1301
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,550
And here we have
the gallant library

1302
01:08:21,550 --> 01:08:24,890
in which Doctor Johnson
wrote his famous dictionary

1303
01:08:24,890 --> 01:08:26,810
and in which you will see also

1304
01:08:26,810 --> 01:08:28,260
many of the great man's books

1305
01:08:28,270 --> 01:08:30,350
and other items of interest.

1306
01:08:30,350 --> 01:08:33,440
Step forward ladies and
gentlemen, please step forward.

1307
01:08:33,440 --> 01:08:35,690
Standing in the corner
is the secretary,

1308
01:08:35,690 --> 01:08:38,020
which contains many
of the original works

1309
01:08:38,030 --> 01:08:40,240
by the literary genius.

1310
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,400
On this table Doctor
Johnson's cat Hodge

1311
01:08:43,410 --> 01:08:45,270
used to sleep while
his master worked.

1312
01:08:45,270 --> 01:08:50,660
But the strange thing about this cat, ladies
and gentlemen, was its love of oysters.

1313
01:08:50,660 --> 01:08:53,160
They do say that the dear
Doctor often went hungry

1314
01:08:53,170 --> 01:08:56,210
to find the cat that delicacy.

1315
01:08:56,210 --> 01:08:57,960
What a pity.

1316
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,420
Now we will visit the bedroom,

1317
01:08:59,420 --> 01:09:01,630
which is immediately below us

1318
01:09:01,630 --> 01:09:03,880
in which you will
see the very bed

1319
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:05,930
in which Doctor Johnson died.

1320
01:09:05,930 --> 01:09:08,180
What did he die of?

1321
01:09:08,180 --> 01:09:09,600
Gout.

1322
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,480
Just gout.

1323
01:09:11,490 --> 01:09:13,100
This way ladies and gentlemen,

1324
01:09:13,100 --> 01:09:14,750
mind the steps please.

1325
01:09:27,620 --> 01:09:29,180
The keys.

1326
01:09:45,380 --> 01:09:47,080
Third shelf up.

1327
01:09:53,310 --> 01:09:54,780
The knife.

1328
01:10:00,020 --> 01:10:02,910
Gentlemen, the Bank
of England plates.

1329
01:10:04,900 --> 01:10:06,450
Well, Mrs. Courtney,

1330
01:10:06,450 --> 01:10:08,740
so we meet again.

1331
01:10:08,740 --> 01:10:11,740
Now, I shouldn't do that if I
were you, Colonel Cavanaugh.

1332
01:10:11,740 --> 01:10:14,080
I must congratulate you,
Mr. Holmes.

1333
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,920
You're far more clever
than I thought.

1334
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,170
Thank you, Mrs. Courtney.

1335
01:10:20,170 --> 01:10:23,300
Praise from you
is indeed gratifying.

1336
01:10:23,300 --> 01:10:25,880
I shall always
cherish the memory

1337
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,720
of your flattering words.

1338
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,180
Memory?

1339
01:10:29,180 --> 01:10:31,970
Oh, thank you.

1340
01:10:31,970 --> 01:10:35,500
And now I have a most
regrettable task to perform.

1341
01:10:40,150 --> 01:10:42,270
Holmes!

1342
01:10:42,270 --> 01:10:43,970
Coming Holmes!

1343
01:10:45,440 --> 01:10:46,900
Holmes!

1344
01:10:46,900 --> 01:10:47,910
You all right?

1345
01:10:47,910 --> 01:10:50,670
Perfectly, thank you, old fellow but
I think this gentleman on the floor

1346
01:10:50,670 --> 01:10:52,320
requires some medical attention.

1347
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,580
We must see that he looks his
best, you know, when he's hanged.

1348
01:10:54,580 --> 01:10:56,090
Take them in charge.

1349
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,350
A brilliant antagonist.

1350
01:11:15,350 --> 01:11:17,840
It's a pity her talents
were so misdirected.

1351
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:19,350
Will you see that these plates

1352
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,340
are returned to the Bank
of England, Inspector?

1353
01:11:21,340 --> 01:11:23,390
I still don't understand how
you solved it, Mr. Holmes.

1354
01:11:23,390 --> 01:11:25,440
It's entirely due to
Doctor Watson.

1355
01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:28,700
He gave me the clue when he
mentioned Doctor Samuel Johnson.

1356
01:11:28,700 --> 01:11:30,470
Well, congratulations, Doctor.

1357
01:11:30,470 --> 01:11:31,800
Oh, thank you, Inspector.

1358
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,130
I don't think I could have done it
entirely without Mr. Holmes' help you know?
