You finished, sir?

05:40.000 --> 05:41.000
Yes.

05:41.000 --> 05:43.000
Get out the Thompson fire, Wilkins.

05:43.000 --> 05:45.000
You know that hatchet killer.

05:45.000 --> 05:50.000
Can I get a copy of the case file?

05:50.000 --> 05:51.000
Yes, sir.

05:51.000 --> 05:52.000
Take a look, Wilkins.

05:52.000 --> 05:53.000
Yes, sir.

05:53.000 --> 06:04.000
Thank you, sir.

06:04.000 --> 06:06.000
Mr. Holmes did a neat bit of work on that case,

06:06.000 --> 06:08.000
don't you think, sir?

06:08.000 --> 06:10.000
Might I remind you, Wilkins,

06:10.000 --> 06:11.500
Very good, sir.

06:11.600 --> 06:14.600
Crime seems to be falling off in London this week, sir.

06:14.700 --> 06:15.900
It's been a dull week.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.800
Yes, it's so dull I'm going to do something about it.

06:19.900 --> 06:20.600
What, sir?

06:23.700 --> 06:27.680
I'm going to visit our old friend, Sherlock Holmes.

06:27.680 --> 06:47.500
I've noticed that when we've got no crime, he has.

06:47.600 --> 06:51.000
A beautiful girl having hallucinations.

06:51.100 --> 06:53.100
A worried housekeeper.

06:53.100 --> 06:58.500
An austere stepfather, a heartbroken boy.

06:58.600 --> 07:03.140
A gloomy old house in a quiet section of London.

07:03.240 --> 07:06.280
That was one of the most bizarre and terrifying cases

07:06.380 --> 07:09.780
ever to challenge the talents of my extraordinary friend,

07:09.880 --> 07:12.020
Sherlock Holmes.

07:12.120 --> 07:15.320
We were plunged into it one drowsy day in mid-September

07:15.420 --> 07:18.860
when murder, sudden and brutal, came calling.

07:18.860 --> 07:23.200
What was that?

07:23.300 --> 07:24.300
I got a shot in the street.

07:34.880 --> 07:35.780
Stand back there.

07:35.880 --> 07:37.280
Stand back.

07:37.380 --> 07:38.780
What's happened to your passenger?

07:38.880 --> 07:40.280
He's dead, sir.

07:40.380 --> 07:41.080
Dead?

07:43.680 --> 07:45.180
True enough.

07:45.180 --> 07:49.180
He's been shot.

07:49.280 --> 07:51.420
What's going on here?

07:51.520 --> 07:53.220
This man in the carriage, Inspector.

07:53.320 --> 07:55.220
Short he was, sir.

07:55.320 --> 07:57.200
All right, let's stand back here, please.

07:57.300 --> 07:59.200
Stand back, please.

07:59.300 --> 08:00.100
Stand back.

08:00.200 --> 08:01.200
Let's move along here, please.

08:01.300 --> 08:02.500
Please.

08:02.600 --> 08:05.600
Stand back, please.

08:05.700 --> 08:06.600
Move along here, please.

08:06.700 --> 08:07.600
Please stand back.

08:11.200 --> 08:12.200
Move along here, please.

08:12.300 --> 08:13.480
Move along.

08:13.480 --> 08:15.080
Officer.

08:15.180 --> 08:15.880
Yes, sir.

08:15.980 --> 08:16.880
You take charge here.

08:16.980 --> 08:18.880
Yes, sir.

08:18.980 --> 08:19.880
All right, Travers.

08:19.980 --> 08:21.380
What do you know about this?

08:21.480 --> 08:22.180
I don't know.

08:22.280 --> 08:25.880
I was, we were.

08:25.980 --> 08:27.560
We were about to have a visitor.

08:27.660 --> 08:28.360
Where?

08:28.460 --> 08:29.360
What do you mean, where?

08:29.460 --> 08:30.660
Yes, a young man, but he was murdered

08:30.760 --> 08:32.060
before he reached here.

08:32.160 --> 08:33.360
Murdered?

08:33.460 --> 08:34.360
How do you know?

08:41.400 --> 08:42.400
Let's move along, please.

08:42.400 --> 08:43.300
Move along.

08:43.400 --> 08:44.300
Fall over.

08:44.400 --> 08:45.300
Move along, please.

08:55.880 --> 08:57.280
Oh, hello, Mr. Straight.

08:57.380 --> 08:58.580
I've been expecting you.

08:58.680 --> 09:00.120
I didn't know myself I was coming

09:00.220 --> 09:02.120
here until a few minutes ago.

09:02.220 --> 09:04.800
I suppose you also know why I came here?

09:04.900 --> 09:05.800
Murder.

09:05.900 --> 09:07.860
Both Dr. Watson and I heard the shot, sir.

09:07.960 --> 09:09.760
I observed part of the proceedings

09:09.860 --> 09:11.260
through the binoculars.

09:11.260 --> 09:13.400
This was found in his pocket.

09:13.500 --> 09:16.800
Sherlock Holmes, 221B Baker Street.

09:16.900 --> 09:17.600
Hmm.

09:20.700 --> 09:24.180
It was obviously employed by a tea and spice merchant.

09:24.280 --> 09:26.680
The aroma is unmistakable, eh, Watson?

09:26.780 --> 09:28.080
Oh, unmistakable.

09:28.180 --> 09:30.780
The boy's wallet gave us some further information.

09:30.880 --> 09:32.680
His name was James Winant.

09:32.780 --> 09:34.660
He lived at number five, Crestwood Place.

09:34.760 --> 09:36.760
He was employed by Stackhurst and Durham,

09:36.860 --> 09:39.660
tea and spice merchants.

09:39.660 --> 09:41.660
Stackhurst.

09:41.760 --> 09:43.660
Stackhurst.

09:43.760 --> 09:45.740
Does the name mean something to you, Holmes?

09:45.840 --> 09:47.240
Well, it should.

09:47.340 --> 09:49.440
Stackhurst and Durham appears in almost every tin

09:49.540 --> 09:51.800
of tea sold in England.

09:51.900 --> 09:56.580
What was young Winant's business with you, Holmes?

09:56.680 --> 09:58.440
Winant.

09:58.540 --> 10:00.080
Durham.

10:00.180 --> 10:02.180
Ah.

10:02.280 --> 10:05.620
I've never heard of Winant before.

10:05.720 --> 10:08.520
Were you able to ascertain anything from the cabbie?

10:08.520 --> 10:13.300
No, one of the passersby heard him say, the singing violin.

10:15.900 --> 10:19.100
The singing violin?

10:19.200 --> 10:21.100
No, that can't mean anything, I'm sure.

10:21.200 --> 10:22.940
Can't mean anything, Lestrade.

10:23.040 --> 10:24.740
Well, now, of course not.

10:24.840 --> 10:25.840
Get your hat, Watson.

10:30.940 --> 10:32.240
Where are we going, Holmes?

10:32.340 --> 10:35.680
To interview the murderer of Jimmy Winant, of course.

10:35.680 --> 10:38.520
You mean to say you know who killed him?

10:38.620 --> 10:39.720
Of course I do.

10:39.820 --> 10:40.620
Don't you?

10:55.240 --> 10:57.840
Might I inquire who lives in this dreary monument

10:57.940 --> 10:58.740
to great wealth?

10:58.840 --> 11:00.640
Guy Durham.

11:00.740 --> 11:02.040
Durham.

11:02.140 --> 11:03.440
Wasn't he one of the partners of the firm

11:03.540 --> 11:04.540
that employed young Winant?

11:04.540 --> 11:05.840
Yes, the only surviving member.

11:05.940 --> 11:08.880
Stacker's died 15 years ago.

11:08.980 --> 11:12.580
Holmes, you said we were going to visit Winant's murderer.

11:12.680 --> 11:13.420
I did.

11:15.520 --> 11:16.320
Yes?

11:16.420 --> 11:17.520
Good morning.

11:17.620 --> 11:19.360
I'm Sherlock Holmes, and this is Dr. Watson.

11:19.460 --> 11:21.120
I'd like a word with Mr. Guy Durham.

11:21.220 --> 11:24.060
Here is my card.

11:24.160 --> 11:26.860
I'll tell him, for all the good it'll do.

11:26.960 --> 11:30.400
He left word he doesn't want to be disturbed.

11:30.400 --> 11:34.540
I'm afraid he's not going to be.

11:34.640 --> 11:35.340
Come in.

11:52.020 --> 11:54.120
Oh, permit me, madam, to congratulate

11:54.220 --> 11:56.020
you on your new position.

11:56.120 --> 11:59.060
Thank you.

11:59.060 --> 12:01.660
Who's at the door?

12:01.760 --> 12:02.660
Excuse me.

12:15.280 --> 12:16.580
How did you know?

12:16.680 --> 12:17.740
Well, she was unfamiliar with the position

12:17.840 --> 12:19.020
of the curtain call.

12:19.120 --> 12:20.980
She obviously hasn't been employed here very long.

12:21.080 --> 12:23.580
Oh, obviously.

12:23.680 --> 12:25.560
I'm sorry, sir, but Mr. Durham can't come.

12:25.660 --> 12:26.360
Oh.

12:26.360 --> 12:28.300
What is the meaning of this?

12:28.400 --> 12:29.400
I'm sorry, sir.

12:29.500 --> 12:31.000
They pushed in before I could stop them.

12:31.100 --> 12:33.400
I must apologize for this intrusion, Mr. Durham,

12:33.500 --> 12:35.640
but it's imperative that I speak to you.

12:35.740 --> 12:37.140
Oh, very well.

12:37.240 --> 12:41.040
As long as you're here, what do you want?

12:41.140 --> 12:42.940
I take it you are Sherlock Holmes.

12:43.040 --> 12:44.240
At your service, sir.

12:44.340 --> 12:46.780
And this is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson.

12:46.880 --> 12:47.820
Pleasure, sir.

12:47.920 --> 12:48.820
How do you do?

12:48.920 --> 12:49.920
Uh, sit down.

12:53.820 --> 12:55.720
I regret to inform you that I am not

12:55.720 --> 12:57.060
the owner of the property.

12:57.160 --> 13:00.120
I regret to say that I am the bearer of bad tidings,

13:00.220 --> 13:01.400
Mr. Durham.

13:01.500 --> 13:05.140
Your prospective son-in-law was murdered not two hours ago.

13:05.240 --> 13:06.940
What?

13:07.040 --> 13:08.040
Wynandt murdered?

13:10.840 --> 13:12.840
But Holmes, you're...

13:12.940 --> 13:14.940
The engagement announcement of Miss Betty Durham

13:15.040 --> 13:17.540
and Mr. James Wynandt was published in the Times

13:17.640 --> 13:19.440
not two days ago.

13:19.540 --> 13:21.680
Mr. James Wynandt was on his way to see me

13:21.780 --> 13:24.460
when he was ambushed and shot.

13:24.460 --> 13:27.380
Mr. Wynandt, you are not the owner of the property.

13:27.480 --> 13:30.120
I'm afraid you are not the owner of the property.

13:30.220 --> 13:33.020
So I'm afraid I cannot see you about.

13:33.120 --> 13:36.660
Don't you know Mr. Durham?

13:36.760 --> 13:38.000
No.

13:38.100 --> 13:41.500
Then perhaps Miss Betty, your stepdaughter, I believe.

13:41.600 --> 13:44.180
Yes, Betty is my stepdaughter.

13:44.280 --> 13:46.740
I adopted her when I married her mother.

13:46.840 --> 13:50.720
Perhaps she might be able to provide some information.

13:50.820 --> 13:52.280
I am sorry.

13:52.280 --> 13:54.580
This morning, under the advice of her doctor,

13:54.680 --> 13:57.280
I sent her away for a complete rest.

13:57.380 --> 14:01.060
Moreover, it is best under her present mental condition

14:01.160 --> 14:04.820
that she should remain in ignorance of Wynandt's death.

14:04.920 --> 14:07.100
Oh, that's most unfortunate.

14:07.200 --> 14:09.660
Probably the excitement of her forthcoming marriage

14:09.760 --> 14:12.360
brought on an emotional upset.

14:12.460 --> 14:15.800
Not only probably, doctor, but true.

14:15.900 --> 14:17.880
And now, if you'll excuse me, I regret I cannot be

14:17.980 --> 14:20.600
of any more help to you.

14:20.600 --> 14:22.780
Oh, Mr. Durham, what is the name and address

14:22.880 --> 14:24.840
of your former housekeeper?

14:24.940 --> 14:26.140
Why do you ask?

14:26.240 --> 14:28.880
Well, housekeepers are rather hard to come by these days.

14:28.980 --> 14:30.720
If she hasn't already found a new position,

14:30.820 --> 14:33.080
I'd like to employ her.

14:33.180 --> 14:35.220
I prefer not to recommend my former housekeeper.

14:35.320 --> 14:36.860
I had to discharge her for theft.

14:36.860 --> 14:51.840
Good morning, gentlemen.

14:51.840 --> 15:12.960
Well, excuse me, that leads me out of here,呲

15:12.960 --> 15:19.960
You believe Durham is the murderer, Holmes?

15:23.560 --> 15:25.440
Yes.

15:25.440 --> 15:27.400
Why are you so sure?

15:27.400 --> 15:32.400
Well fifteen years ago, Horace Stackhurst died in extremely mysterious circumstances.

15:32.400 --> 15:36.800
Stackhurst? Would that be the Stackhurst of Durham's firm?

15:36.800 --> 15:42.240
The same. Shortly after Stackhurst's death, his widow married Durham.

15:42.240 --> 15:44.480
And the widow is Betty's mother, I presume?

15:44.480 --> 15:46.000
Indeed she was.

15:46.000 --> 15:50.480
But the mother herself died within a year, and Betty inherited a great fortune.

15:50.480 --> 15:54.960
Durham was appointed guardian until such time as Betty married.

15:54.960 --> 15:59.200
Oh, I'm beginning to understand.

15:59.200 --> 16:03.000
Tell me, Holmes, have you solved the mystery of women's dying words yet?

16:03.000 --> 16:07.440
The singing violin? Oh, well that's really very easy to explain. What's another d...

16:07.440 --> 16:14.440
Ah, here we are.

16:22.800 --> 16:28.600
It was just like Holmes to leave me in the middle of an unfinished explanation bursting with curiosity.

16:28.600 --> 16:32.240
But there was nothing I could do about it except wait for his return.

16:32.240 --> 16:34.520
I waited up for him until midnight.

16:34.520 --> 16:37.000
Finally retired, I'd sing him.

16:37.000 --> 16:40.320
And when I awoke the next morning, he was already gone.

16:40.320 --> 16:47.320
I didn't see him again until shortly before ten o'clock.

16:49.000 --> 16:53.640
Where have you been? Do you mind going to the window, Watson? What? I've got a surprise for you.

16:53.640 --> 17:00.640
Oh, go on. All right.

17:01.440 --> 17:03.760
Not yet, Watson. Now turn around.

17:03.760 --> 17:05.200
Now keep looking into the street.

17:05.200 --> 17:08.720
That's better.

17:08.720 --> 17:12.720
Now. It won't be a minute now.

17:12.720 --> 17:19.720
All right. Turn around.

17:32.680 --> 17:34.840
Well, Watson?

17:34.840 --> 17:38.640
A singing violin.

17:38.640 --> 17:41.200
Well, that's fantastic.

17:41.200 --> 17:44.960
Yes, a fiend with a diabolical mind, our Mr. Durham.

17:44.960 --> 17:50.280
Soap on the bow so that no sound should come from it, and this.

17:50.280 --> 17:55.400
Come along, Watson.

17:55.400 --> 17:56.560
Where to?

17:56.560 --> 17:59.720
To complete a plan which this time only you can effect.

17:59.720 --> 18:06.720
All right. After you.

18:18.600 --> 18:20.640
Ha ha, John Murdoch!

18:20.640 --> 18:25.040
So I found you at last, eh?

18:25.040 --> 18:26.160
What?

18:26.160 --> 18:29.600
You've been making advances to my wife.

18:29.600 --> 18:34.520
And I am going to thrash you with an inch of your life!

18:34.520 --> 18:36.240
Wait a minute.

18:36.240 --> 18:41.160
You've got the wrong man.

18:41.160 --> 18:44.560
Don't you lie to me!

18:44.560 --> 18:45.840
I'm not John Murdoch, I tell you.

18:45.840 --> 18:49.880
Oh, there's a lunatic loose.

18:49.880 --> 19:01.880
I'll smite your last smile, my boy, you dirty bum.

19:01.880 --> 19:04.160
My answer is final, Durham.

19:04.160 --> 19:08.120
I didn't mind certifying your stepdaughter as insane.

19:08.120 --> 19:12.160
But I draw the line at murder.

19:12.160 --> 19:18.440
If you want her killed, do it yourself.

19:18.440 --> 19:22.200
Very well, Marino. I will.

19:22.200 --> 19:26.560
But you will have to sign the death certificate.

19:26.560 --> 19:29.280
That I'll do.

19:29.280 --> 19:33.080
An overdose of morphia would be the best way.

19:33.080 --> 19:38.640
I'll prepare a hypodermic for you.

19:38.640 --> 19:41.760
She's under sedation now.

19:41.760 --> 19:45.120
And shouldn't give you any trouble.

19:45.120 --> 19:47.280
What room is she in?

19:47.280 --> 19:50.880
Number four.

19:50.880 --> 19:52.880
Something's happening out there.

19:52.880 --> 19:55.080
Let it wait.

19:55.080 --> 20:20.080
Give me the hypodermic.

20:20.080 --> 20:36.880
We'll get to that.

Well, of course, Watson, I knew Betty was in danger when Durham mentioned Marina.

24:31.020 --> 24:35.020
I met him before and knew he wasn't a doctor but a charlatan.

24:35.020 --> 24:39.020
Tell me, Watson, how did Betty take the news of Jimmy's death?

24:39.020 --> 24:42.020
It came as a terrible shock to her, I'm afraid.

24:42.020 --> 24:45.020
Poor girl broke down completely.

24:45.020 --> 24:49.020
Well, she's young. She'll recover.

24:49.020 --> 24:52.020
And youth has a way of overcoming tragedy.

25:10.020 --> 25:14.020
Oh, confound it! I completely forgot that I soaped this bow.

25:14.020 --> 25:17.020
It'll be days before I can play again.

25:17.020 --> 25:19.020
Really?

25:19.020 --> 25:22.020
