00:02:06The commissioner is arriving.
00:02:10It's messy here.
00:02:16Be seated, won't you?
00:02:19Gentlemen, if you want to know what men you are,
00:02:23read popular fiction that glamorizes your achievements.
00:02:27But don't, I beg of you, read the daily papers.
00:02:31They might give you an inferiority complex.
00:02:35I hate to mention it.
00:02:38But we're confronted with a series of the most atrocious murders since Jack the Ripper.
00:02:43And in the meantime,
00:02:45the CID might as well be playing at shove, hate me.
00:02:49For all the good we've accomplished.
00:02:51Now look.
00:02:53Here, here, and here.
00:02:56Each of these red flags scattered through the city
00:02:59stands for a woman brutally murdered,
00:03:01a woman's terror, a woman's death agony.
00:03:05These are no ordinary crimes.
00:03:07These are the works of a fiend who kills first and mutilates afterwards.
00:03:13A ghoul who hacks off a part of his victim's body and carries it away with him.
00:03:17A loathsome souvenir of his butchery.
00:03:19A loathsome souvenir of his butchery.
00:03:23Three women murdered so far,
00:03:25and you haven't turned in one clue.
00:03:28You haven't given me one lead.
00:03:31Here you sit and wait for news of a fourth victim.
00:03:35With your arms folded.
00:03:42Well, we hadn't long to wait.
00:03:44It was down Lambeth Way where a young woman was hurrying home late last night.
00:03:48She saw something and stopped.
00:03:52It was a constable.
00:03:53He spoke to her and he walked along with her, just in case.
00:04:00He saw her go down the stairway to the basement lodging where she lived.
00:04:04We can only surmise what happened after that.
00:04:19Well, I put my pride in my pocket
00:04:21and went to see the man who'd so often helped out Inspector Lestrade and myself in the past.
00:04:27Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:04:35If ever a man needed help, I did.
00:04:49This makes four, Inspector.
00:04:51Four defenseless women here in the heart of London.
00:04:54And every one with the right forefinger hacked off.
00:04:56Not hacked, Inspector Gregson.
00:05:01Cleanly, expertly severed.
00:05:04They work for skilled surgeons.
00:05:06That's their only clue.
00:05:07Much about the age of my sister's girl.
00:05:10Is there no way of stopping this, Mr. Holmes?
00:05:13Yes.
00:05:15There's a way somehow.
00:05:18The fiend that did this.
00:05:21I promise.
00:05:23I promise.
00:05:24We have nothing to go on. That's the rotten part of it.
00:05:26We can't get far without knowing the motive.
00:05:29At least we know what the motives were not. It wasn't robbery.
00:05:32Nor passion, thanks be. Nor yet vengeance.
00:05:34Because they all came of totally unrelated families.
00:05:36Steady, Inspector. Steady.
00:05:39I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes.
00:05:41I don't turn a hair when it's a bloke that can look after himself.
00:05:44A little slip of a thing like that.
00:05:47Yes, it's horrible. Come on, let's get a drink.
00:06:12Good evening, Mr. Holmes. Good evening, Vincent.
00:06:13Whiskey and soda, please. And a double for my friend here, Inspector Gregson.
00:06:16Thank you, sir.
00:06:17Make mine Irish.
00:06:18Decent of you to give me a hand with this thing, Mr. Holmes.
00:06:21Always a pleasure to be of help to Scotland Yard, Inspector.
00:06:23A little out of my line. Looking for a maniac.
00:06:26Murders just for the fun of it.
00:06:30Or perhaps just to get a human finger.
00:06:35In all four cases,
00:06:38a murderer is captured by stopping to secure a finger.
00:06:43What for?
00:06:44Who knows? He's just a madman.
00:06:47Perhaps there's method in his madness.
00:06:51If we could just trace those missing fingers...
00:06:53See, if we could just drag the English channel, we might find a penny.
00:06:58Oh, thank you.
00:07:02Let me get those, Mr. Holmes. Thank you.
00:07:13It's a George Fenwick, isn't it?
00:07:14Yes. Is that his daughter with him?
00:07:17Don't be so naive, Inspector.
00:07:21You know everyone, don't you, darling?
00:07:23Well, hardly.
00:07:25A week ago, I didn't know you.
00:07:27A week. How fast it's gone.
00:07:43I collect these things.
00:07:44How very quaint of you.
00:07:46Shall we go? Yes.
00:07:53What are you looking at, Mr. Holmes?
00:07:56Looking at a very handsome woman.
00:07:58Not born to the purple, but giving an excellent imitation.
00:08:02Would you like to come to my flat for a nightcap?
00:08:04Lovely idea. Yes, isn't it?
00:08:12I wonder where she's taking Sir George Fenwick.
00:08:14Don't be so naive, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:12Good evening, ma'am. Hello, Crandon. Any messages?
00:09:15No, ma'am. Thank you.
00:09:20Drinks, Crandon. One of your nice surprises.
00:09:23Yes, ma'am. I say, you don't mean that...
00:09:25Crandon's a marvel, aren't you, Crandon?
00:09:27Yes, ma'am.
00:09:28You wouldn't believe the things she can do.
00:09:32Charming face. Delightful.
00:09:35I'm sure you'll like her.
00:09:36I'm sure you'll like her.
00:09:38I'm sure you'll like her.
00:09:39I'm sure you'll like her.
00:09:41Delightful.
00:09:42Really? Do you think so? I'm so glad.
00:09:46Do sit down.
00:09:48Do you mind?
00:09:49Do I mind? What a question.
00:09:54I don't mind anything, really.
00:09:57Except not being with you.
00:09:59Now, you really don't want me to believe that, do you?
00:10:01Not too seriously.
00:10:03Good. We're both quite grown up, aren't we?
00:10:06Quite.
00:10:12You're a treasure, Crandon.
00:10:19And lower the lights a little as you leave.
00:10:28I prefer a more flattering light.
00:10:31In any light, you'd be...
00:10:32Would I?
00:10:34And don't you know it.
00:10:37Perhaps I do.
00:10:42Oh, that priceless woman.
00:10:44You wouldn't believe it, but she's absurdly romantic.
00:10:46She loves dreamy music and she thinks that we...
00:10:50But we do, don't we?
00:10:52Do we?
00:10:54Well, it's rather soothing, restful.
00:10:57Yes.
00:11:00And we all need rest at times.
00:11:02Like tired children at bedtime.
00:11:04Yes.
00:11:05And we all need rest at times.
00:11:07Like tired children at bedtime.
00:11:09Yes.
00:11:10Like tired children who've played too long.
00:11:15You've played with wooden soldiers, I suppose.
00:11:18Funny. I hadn't thought of that for years.
00:11:22Toy boats were my special joy.
00:11:25Anything I could set afloat anywhere.
00:11:28Like this.
00:11:30And this.
00:11:33Toy boats sailing into the Never-Never Land.
00:11:37The land of beautiful dreams.
00:11:39Look.
00:11:41Look, odd, isn't it, how the light is reflected?
00:11:46Little specks of light that move and move.
00:11:50Like stars on a slowly moving stream.
00:11:55You know, Holmes, I'm very sensitive to atmosphere.
00:11:57You are?
00:11:59Yes, I can tell by the feel of this room there's been a murder committed here.
00:12:01It may interest you to know, my dear fellow,
00:12:02it was the other side of that door at the foot of the stairs
00:12:04that the poor girl was murdered.
00:12:06If only I could find it.
00:12:07Find what?
00:12:09The one thing these unfortunate victims have in common
00:12:12that might give us a motive for these murders.
00:12:14There must be something.
00:12:15Rather Jack the Ripper, if you ask me, a homicidal maniac.
00:12:18No, Watson, in the case of Jack the Ripper,
00:12:19there was one thing in common.
00:12:21His victims were all from one walk of life
00:12:23living in the same section of the city.
00:12:24In this case, the murderer chooses his victims
00:12:26from all walks of life and from different sections of the city.
00:12:29No, my dear fellow, this is not the work of a homicidal maniac.
00:12:33It's something infinitely more sinister.
00:12:35You mean the creeps? What on earth are you talking about?
00:12:37Watson, I'm convinced that these murders are only incidental
00:12:42to some larger and more diabolical scheme.
00:12:44That may be, but why the severed fingers?
00:12:46The answer to that question, my dear fellow,
00:12:48is our only hope of solving these mysteries.
00:12:50Dear sister, I am so happy.
00:12:52I had such a lovely holiday at Brighton with you and Alf.
00:12:55And I'm looking forward to being with you again.
00:12:58Poor little thing.
00:13:00Sort of raises a lump in your throat.
00:13:02I can picture her sitting here happily writing this letter.
00:13:05And I'm not bitter realizing that she's shortly going to her death.
00:13:09Hello? Gregson?
00:13:16Oh, there you are, Mr. Holmes. I've been looking for you everywhere.
00:13:18What's happened?
00:13:19Murder on Edgeway Road, about half an hour ago.
00:13:21Woman? Yes.
00:13:22And the right forefinger cut off clean.
00:13:36Oh, my God.
00:14:01Right there.
00:14:02Oh, he's right there.
00:14:04Right there.
00:14:05Horrible murder.
00:14:06Murder on Edgeway Road.
00:14:08It's all about the murder.
00:14:11Horrible murder of a young woman.
00:14:16Get your papers.
00:14:19Horrible murder.
00:14:20Paper. All about the murder.
00:14:24Morning paper.
00:14:25All about the murder.
00:14:27Paper. Horrible murder.
00:14:31Another young woman found murdered.
00:14:32Paper, sir.
00:14:34Horrible murder. Paper.
00:14:36Paper. Read all about it.
00:14:42Get your paper.
00:14:44Murder on Edgeway Road.
00:14:46Horrible finger murder.
00:14:51Shocking murder.
00:14:53Murder on Edgeway Road.
00:14:56Horrible murder of a young woman.
00:15:01Read all about the murder.
00:15:04Only fancy, ma'am,
00:15:06there's been another of those horrible murders.
00:15:09Dear, dear, how shocking.
00:15:11Yes, ma'am.
00:15:12I really don't feel quite safe here myself.
00:15:16Oh, dear.
00:15:34Why, Sir George.
00:15:35I must see Miss Marlowe at once.
00:15:36I don't know if she...
00:15:38I must see her. Where is she?
00:15:42Lydia.
00:15:44Why, Sir George.
00:15:46What is it? What happened?
00:15:47I don't know.
00:15:49You'll have to help me. You've got to help me.
00:15:51But I don't understand.
00:15:52Listen.
00:15:53I woke up a few minutes ago
00:15:55in a cheap boarding house
00:15:57off Edgeway Road.
00:15:59I don't know how I came there. I don't know when.
00:16:01The last thing I remember is being here with you.
00:16:03Calm yourself, Sir George.
00:16:05When did I leave here?
00:16:07Well, it was about...
00:16:10It was 10.45, ma'am.
00:16:12Precisely.
00:16:16You seemed...
00:16:17Forgive me.
00:16:18Just a little distressed.
00:16:20Detached. Not interested.
00:16:23I thought I'd said something to offend you.
00:16:26I don't remember.
00:16:33I can't remember.
00:16:35Tell me.
00:16:37Has this happened to you before?
00:16:39Before?
00:16:40Well, there is such a thing as amnesia, you know.
00:16:45If it was 10.45 when I left you,
00:16:48it was nine this morning when I woke,
00:16:51over ten hours lost.
00:16:55Ten hours that I can't account for.
00:16:58And in my pocket when I woke, I found...
00:17:00Yeah, in my pocket.
00:17:04That isn't...
00:17:05Oh, it's not for you, of course.
00:17:07It can't be.
00:17:10Excuse me, ma'am,
00:17:11but there's a man asking to see the gentleman.
00:17:14Send him away.
00:17:15Yes, ma'am.
00:17:16No, no, no, no, no, please.
00:17:18I'll see him.
00:17:27Well?
00:17:29Delightful room.
00:17:31Delightful room.
00:17:34Not much like the place you woke up in this morning.
00:17:37You followed me here?
00:17:38Yes.
00:17:41Are you a detective?
00:17:43Oh, no.
00:17:45Quite the contrary.
00:17:47Don't be afraid, Sir George.
00:17:49You know my name?
00:17:50Oh, yes.
00:17:52A very old and highly honoured name.
00:17:55And being the bearer of such a name,
00:17:57and also a very wealthy man,
00:17:59I thought
00:18:01you might care to possess yourself with this trifle.
00:18:06Rather than let it fall into the hands of the police,
00:18:09it is yours, if I'm not mistaken.
00:18:11The initials, G.F.
00:18:16Where did you get this?
00:18:18It came out of your pocket.
00:18:21I saw it fall, but you never noticed.
00:18:26You were very busy
00:18:28bending over something
00:18:31with a knife.
00:18:35Then you put something in your pocket.
00:18:47Come along, Holmes, come along, come along.
00:18:49How many more times must I tell you?
00:18:51You're missing a treat. This is delicious.
00:18:53A little jam tarts to follow.
00:18:54Aren't you tempted?
00:18:56You and your flesh pots.
00:18:59You tell me that
00:19:01fish is good for the brain.
00:19:03Brains haven't any.
00:19:06Do you realize that a day, a whole day and a night
00:19:08have gone by since that bestial affair on Edgeware Road?
00:19:11I'm as much in the dark as ever.
00:19:21Hello, here comes a client.
00:19:23Hello, here comes a client, if I'm not mistaken.
00:19:35Hello, attractive, very attractive.
00:19:44Obviously, she left home under the stress of some very great emotion.
00:19:47How do you know that?
00:19:48She isn't wearing any gloves.
00:19:49A startling omission on a young lady of fashion.
00:19:51No, she didn't put her coat on. Opened the car, too.
00:19:59Furthermore, there's something in that bag she wants to show me.
00:20:02What makes you say that?
00:20:04The bag doesn't match her dress.
00:20:05Indicating it was picked for size rather than style
00:20:09to accommodate some bulky object.
00:20:11You amaze me, Holmes.
00:20:13Very much, my dear fellow.
00:20:21Well, that's interesting.
00:20:23What is?
00:20:25That cab, turning at the empty house.
00:20:32I wonder why he followed her here.
00:20:33Oh, wouldn't you?
00:20:35I'll pass him a few glasses.
00:20:52Well, we shall soon know.
00:20:54Yes, Mrs. Hudson?
00:20:57It's a young lady, sir, most urgent.
00:20:59Ask her to come in.
00:21:01Go right in, miss.
00:21:06Mr. Holmes?
00:21:07Yes, this is my friend, Dr. Watson.
00:21:08How do you do?
00:21:09Mr. Holmes, I...
00:21:11You must excuse me, please, I...
00:21:12Yes, well, won't you sit down?
00:21:14Come along.
00:21:15May I?
00:21:16It's quite all right.
00:21:21Now, try to control yourself, Miss Fennick.
00:21:23You're with friends.
00:21:24You know my name?
00:21:25No magic, I assure you.
00:21:27I've often seen your picture.
00:21:28You're the daughter of Sir George Fennick, aren't you?
00:21:30Yes.
00:21:32It's about my father that I...
00:21:34What about your father, Miss Fennick?
00:21:36Oh, I don't know what to do.
00:21:38He's always been the nicest, dearest person.
00:21:41I...
00:21:43I...
00:21:44I...
00:21:45I...
00:21:46I...
00:21:47I...
00:21:49I...
00:21:50I...
00:21:52Only since mother died.
00:21:54Yes, yes, we know.
00:21:57So, I didn't think anything of it
00:21:59when he was away all night before last,
00:22:01but he didn't come home until yesterday at tea-time.
00:22:04He didn't come in for dinner at all.
00:22:06Just paced up and down in the library, hour after hour.
00:22:09I begged him to let me in, but he wouldn't.
00:22:12Steady, steady.
00:22:15Now, take your time.
00:22:17I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
00:22:19And then I started hearing things.
00:22:22Hearing things?
00:22:23What sort of things?
00:22:25I heard someone in the garden underneath my window.
00:22:29Then I saw a figure moving down the garden path,
00:22:33and I recognized my father, stealing through his own garden
00:22:37like a thief.
00:22:44He had a spade in his hand, and he stopped by the greenhouse
00:22:47where he started to dig.
00:22:52This morning, at daybreak, I stole out into the garden
00:22:55and I found this.
00:23:05A finger, a human finger.
00:23:08Bring up Scotland Yarborough, Watson.
00:23:11Ask them to get hold of Inspector Gregson
00:23:13and tell him to meet us at once at George
00:23:14Fenwick's house, Kingston.
00:23:16Operator, get Miss Scotland here quick.
00:23:22Where's my father, Norris?
00:23:24He's still in the library, miss.
00:23:25We'll see him right away.
00:23:26Will you come with me, please?
00:23:28I got your message, Mr. Holmes.
00:23:30Yes, indeed.
00:23:35Dad, may I come in?
00:23:39Dad.
00:23:40That's funny.
00:23:43He doesn't answer.
00:23:46Do you mind?
00:23:47Please do.
00:23:50Watson, quick.
00:23:52Come along, my dear.
00:23:53Take charge of Miss Fenwick, please.
00:23:54Please, come along with me.
00:24:02Dead?
00:24:03Yes.
00:24:08What do you make of it, doctor?
00:24:09Shot in the back, between the second and third ribs.
00:24:12The bullet undoubtedly penetrated the heart.
00:24:14Look at the powder marks on his coat.
00:24:16I was afraid of this.
00:24:18What do you mean?
00:24:19Don't you remember the man in the cab who followed
00:24:20Miss Fenwick to Baker Street?
00:24:22Well, you don't think he had anything to do with it, do you?
00:24:23I think it's reasonable to assume that he tipped off
00:24:25someone that I'd been sent for.
00:24:27Sir George has obviously been murdered to keep him
00:24:29from telling me what he knew.
00:24:32What was the weapon used?
00:24:33Small caliber revolver, point blank range,
00:24:35by the look of the wound.
00:24:38Murderer came in through those French windows.
00:24:41The mud from the garden he brought in on his boots.
00:24:44Sir George must have surprised the intruder.
00:24:46Passed the room to him here.
00:24:50The followers, we can't tell.
00:24:51But from the location of the wound,
00:24:54I'd say that he turned his back for a moment.
00:24:55And as he turned, the muzzle of the revolver
00:24:58was placed between his ribs and one muffled shot fired.
00:25:01And you mean to say he kept on going,
00:25:03even after he was shot?
00:25:04There's no doubt about it.
00:25:05Look there.
00:25:07A trail of blood leads us back to the desk.
00:25:11Something Sir George was after.
00:25:15Something.
00:25:16I know.
00:25:17He was trying to summon help, Poacher.
00:25:19I don't think so, Watson.
00:25:20There's the belt pulled by the fireplace.
00:25:23No, you'll notice from the trail of blood
00:25:26that Sir George made straight for this desk here.
00:25:28I wonder if it was something he was desperately anxious to get.
00:25:33Hello.
00:25:35His right hand's clenched.
00:25:37That's perfectly natural.
00:25:38Death agony.
00:25:39The left hand lies open.
00:25:42Why only one hand clenched in the death agony, then?
00:25:44The right hand, the hand nearest the desk.
00:25:47Please note that.
00:25:48If Sir George took something off this desk,
00:25:51something so important that he spilt
00:25:53his last drop of blood to get it,
00:25:55I want to know what it is.
00:25:57Nothing but an ordinary match folder.
00:26:00Where does that lead us?
00:26:03I imagine to something very important, Gregson.
00:26:06This match folder's from Pembroke House.
00:26:07Why shouldn't it be?
00:26:09He was there, you know.
00:26:11We saw him yesterday.
00:26:12Yes, but the effort he made after he was shot
00:26:14to get hold of this match folder,
00:26:15I don't think it's a coincidence.
00:26:17I don't think it's a coincidence, either.
00:26:19I don't think it's a coincidence, either.
00:26:21I don't think it's a coincidence, either.
00:26:23I don't think it's a coincidence, either.
00:26:25I don't think it's a coincidence, either.
00:26:26I don't think it's a coincidence, either.
00:26:28I don't think it's a coincidence, either.
00:26:30He wanted someone to remember Pembroke House,
00:26:33and we have wished to recall it to someone
00:26:36who saw it there.
00:26:36Someone who, like ourselves, saw him with a woman.
00:26:56Dr. Watson, this came by hand from Mr. Holmes not ten minutes ago.
00:27:00Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
00:27:04That would be the report from Mr. George's bank.
00:27:07Report from Mr. George's... Oh, really?
00:27:10Don't you remember his daughter told us that he'd just closed his account?
00:27:13I had a look into it once.
00:27:19Hmm.
00:27:22Hmm.
00:27:24He drew out his entire balance in cash, nearly 10,000 pounds,
00:27:28yesterday, just after that young woman was murdered.
00:27:31What does that suggest to you, Watson?
00:27:33That he paid it out to someone.
00:27:35Precisely. I smell the faint, sweet odor of blackmail.
00:27:38You don't think he paid it out to someone who saw him murder the McLean woman?
00:27:42Sir George never murdered anyone.
00:27:44But he did have that woman's finger,
00:27:46and he evidently did have a lot of... and pay out a lot of cash.
00:27:49That's the terrifying part about blackmail, Watson.
00:27:52The victim is afraid to fight the accusation, no matter how false.
00:27:56Once the accusation is made,
00:27:58his name is smeared,
00:28:00and sometimes his life is ruined.
00:28:03Well, if Sir George didn't commit these murders, what fiend did?
00:28:07I rather think they're not the work of any one man.
00:28:10Oh, come, Holmes.
00:28:12You don't expect me to believe there's a whole organization
00:28:14going about killing people and chopping off their fingers.
00:28:17No, it's possible. Quite possible.
00:28:19Well, whoever's behind all this thing must be out of his mind.
00:28:22On the contrary, my dear fellow.
00:28:24If my assumptions are correct, this little scheme has behind it
00:28:27the most brilliant and ruthless intellect the world has ever known.
00:28:30You don't mean Professor Moriarty?
00:28:32I do.
00:28:33Oh, steady, Holmes. You've got him on the brain.
00:28:35This is the third time in as many months
00:28:37you've suspected him of unsolved crimes.
00:28:39He's dead, you know.
00:28:40Is he?
00:28:41Is he? You know he is.
00:28:42He was hanged in Montevideo, well, over a year ago.
00:28:45I know that someone was hanged in Montevideo under that name.
00:28:48But I'll stake my reputation that Moriarty is alive
00:28:51and here, now, in London.
00:28:58Hello?
00:28:59Yes, Dr. Watson, wait a minute.
00:29:01Who, me?
00:29:05Oh, yes.
00:29:06This is Dr. Watson speaking.
00:29:08No, no, I'm afraid I've retired.
00:29:10I don't practice anymore.
00:29:12What?
00:29:13What?
00:29:15Oh, that's a different thing.
00:29:17An emergency case.
00:29:19Where? Just a minute.
00:29:23Yes, yes, well, see that she's not moved.
00:29:26Remember that.
00:29:27Don't touch her till I get there.
00:29:31Fractured case in McArdle's Mews.
00:29:33Heavy woman.
00:29:3414 stone.
00:29:37Look at her.
00:29:4014 stone.
00:29:42She's the sort of person who would hoist herself up
00:29:44on a stool to feed the canary.
00:29:46There ought to be a law against fat people
00:29:48keeping little dicky birds.
00:29:50Well, so long, old man.
00:29:53I shan't be very long.
00:29:54Haven't used that bag since I bought little Amelia.
00:29:57What's her name in the world?
00:29:59Grew up to be a very unattractive child.
00:30:01Who wouldn't with a name like Amelia?
00:30:03Amelia.
00:30:04Amelia.
00:30:13I don't know, Bubba.
00:30:15People are so stupid about accidents.
00:30:42Hey.
00:31:13Oh, Professor Moriarty.
00:31:15Not that I wish to appear inquisitive,
00:31:17but do what am I indebted for the pleasure of this visit?
00:31:20Scotland Yard will be interested.
00:31:23It's very convenient for me to have Scotland Yard
00:31:25think that I'm still dead in Montevideo.
00:31:29I never dreamed of fooling you.
00:31:32The thought occurs to me, Mr. Holmes,
00:31:35that there are some advantages in living within the law.
00:31:38You are very comfortably fixed here, aren't you?
00:31:42As I get on in life,
00:31:44the little comforts appeal to me more and more.
00:31:48Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:31:50Won't you sit down?
00:31:55And now, Professor Moriarty, what can I do for you?
00:31:57Everything that I have to say to you has already crossed your mind.
00:32:02And my answer has no doubt crossed yours.
00:32:04You're going to have to trust me.
00:32:06I have to trust you.
00:32:08I have to trust you.
00:32:10I have to trust you.
00:32:12I have to trust you.
00:32:14I have to trust you.
00:32:16I have to trust you.
00:32:18I have to trust you.
00:32:20I have to trust you.
00:32:22And my answer has no doubt crossed yours.
00:32:24That's final.
00:32:26What do you think?
00:32:28I shall not rest until you are hanged for the finger murders.
00:32:33You have no proof, you know.
00:32:39No, not a shred.
00:32:41But I have you.
00:32:43I could turn you over to the police here and now.
00:32:45You could.
00:32:47But if you did, you'd never see Dr. Watson again.
00:32:51Oh, the telephone call.
00:32:53Quite.
00:32:54I rather assumed you had taken some such precaution.
00:32:58Or I should have snatched up a revolver
00:33:01and indulged in a fit of heroics when you came in.
00:33:04Very smart, aren't you?
00:33:07Not smart enough.
00:33:09Or I should have anticipated you.
00:33:11But if any harm comes to Dr. Watson, I shall seek you out.
00:33:16I shall not rest until I find you, and when I do...
00:33:18No harm will come to Dr. Watson this time.
00:33:21But I can't answer for the future.
00:33:24Mr. Holmes, I should strongly advise you to drop this case.
00:33:27Don't be silly.
00:33:29Think it over.
00:33:31We've had many encounters in the past.
00:33:33You hope to place me on the gallows.
00:33:35I tell you I shall never stand upon the gallows.
00:33:37But if you are instrumental in any way in bringing about my destruction,
00:33:43you will not be alive to enjoy your satisfaction.
00:33:46And we shall walk together through the gates of eternity hand in hand.
00:33:49What a charming picture that would make.
00:33:51Yes, wouldn't it? I really think it might be worth it.
00:34:00Shoelaces, Governor?
00:34:01Time to pay it.
00:34:02And strong enough to end yourself.
00:34:04How many more times must I tell you I don't want your filthy shoelaces or your company?
00:34:10Shoelaces, Governor?
00:34:11Nasty impertinence.
00:34:12Run along, my good man, or I'll give you in charge.
00:34:14Shoelaces, Governor?
00:34:15Shoelaces, Governor?
00:34:20Shoelaces, Governor?
00:34:21You're a poor bloke.
00:34:23What's only got one arm?
00:34:25Any luck with Mr. Holmes?
00:34:27You can read his obituary in tomorrow's papers.
00:34:41Oh, hello, Watson. Come in.
00:34:43How's that?
00:34:45Just going out to look for you.
00:34:47Look for me? What for?
00:34:49Suppose you don't think I know my way about.
00:34:51When you're right, I don't.
00:34:52Blast all practical jokers, anyhow.
00:34:54Know where I've been?
00:34:56On a wild goose chase.
00:34:57Exactly.
00:34:58There's no such number in McArdle's Mews.
00:35:00Some fool's idea of a joke.
00:35:03Did you, uh...
00:35:05Did you see anyone?
00:35:06No, nobody special.
00:35:08Only a whining old idiot selling bootlaces.
00:35:10Persistent beggar, wasn't he?
00:35:12Stuck to you like grim death.
00:35:13Huh? How do you know?
00:35:15He finally left you for someone who looked like Vera Pickings.
00:35:19Someone, my dear Watson, was Professor Moriarty himself.
00:35:22What?
00:35:23He's just called on me.
00:35:24Moriarty here and you let him go?
00:35:26But you must be out of your mind.
00:35:27Why?
00:35:28Well, he bluffed me into believing that he was holding a friend of mine as hostage.
00:35:31Friend of yours who?
00:35:32Oh, nobody very important, just a fat, lazy fellow.
00:35:34Medical man, I believe.
00:35:35Medical man? Do I know him?
00:35:37Yes, I think you do.
00:35:38A fellow by the name of Watson.
00:35:39Watson? Watson? Never heard...
00:35:41Who? Me?
00:35:42I'm afraid so, old fellow.
00:35:44Your street hawker's job...
00:35:48was to do away with you in a certain contingency.
00:35:51And you let Moriarty go because of me?
00:35:54I had no choice.
00:35:55I can't afford to lose you, old fellow.
00:35:57Well, it's the decent of the old chap, I must say, but...
00:36:01Well, I wish you'd nabbed him.
00:36:04We shall never fear.
00:36:06I know the motive for the finger murders.
00:36:08All I have to find out now is the method used with the blackmail victims.
00:36:12Method?
00:36:13Yes.
00:36:14How does Moriarty get them to the scene of the crime?
00:36:17How does he plant those severed fingers on them?
00:36:20And how does he scare them into believing that...
00:36:25they may have committed those atrocious murders themselves?
00:36:29Curious?
00:36:35Very curious.
00:36:38Curious? What's curious?
00:36:42That window in the empty house across the street.
00:36:48First floor front.
00:36:50What's wrong with it?
00:36:51It's open.
00:36:53Why shouldn't it be open?
00:36:55Well, it wasn't open half an hour ago. I was taking my life on that.
00:36:57Well, it's not our business. Let it stay open.
00:37:01I wonder if you'd go over, old fellow, and see what's the matter.
00:37:05Trespassing. Against the law.
00:37:07Very well. I'll go myself.
00:37:09Well, if you're going to put it like that. Ridiculous waste of time.
00:37:12Going about shutting windows at this hour of the night.
00:37:15You'd better take this torch.
00:37:16Take what?
00:37:18Dignified job for a doctor. Dr. Watson, the torchbearer.
00:37:21And what do you propose to do?
00:37:22Sit in a comfortable chair, I suppose, and read a good book.
00:37:25That's a very good idea.
00:37:26Yes, it's a very good idea.
00:37:27While I play night watchman, you have a nice read.
00:37:30Good night. Have a good time.
00:37:32Have a good time.
00:37:37Shhh.
00:37:59What are the nurses for?
00:38:02Oh! A nurse's chair.
00:38:05Pretty little thing to keep about the house.
00:38:08Must have been a pet.
00:38:35What's that?
00:38:42Oh, crap, Barbara.
00:38:45This must be a note.
00:39:04Well, he sits comfortably reading a book.
00:39:35Stop it!
00:39:39He killed Holmes! He killed Sherlock!
00:39:42Watson.
00:39:43You? But I saw him shoot you a second ago.
00:39:46Not me, my dear fellow.
00:39:48Merely the bust of Julius Caesar.
00:39:50Incidentally, you may have noticed that all through the ages,
00:39:52prominent men have prominent noses.
00:39:55Shh.
00:40:00Oh.
00:40:01Oh.
00:40:02Afraid we're in for terrible trouble again with Mrs. Hudson.
00:40:04Windows smashed, plaster all over the floor.
00:40:07Get up, you.
00:40:13Corporal Williams, Middlesex Regiment.
00:40:15Discharged from the army as physically unfit.
00:40:19Papers seem in order.
00:40:25Now, Corporal Williams,
00:40:27you've seen service in the Far East, haven't you?
00:40:29The East?
00:40:31I thought so.
00:40:32Look at his complexion, Watson.
00:40:33Yellow as saffron.
00:40:34He's been taking atabrine, a cure for malaria.
00:40:38Sniper, aren't you?
00:40:40Sniper.
00:40:43Why did you try to kill me?
00:40:46I had to kill him.
00:40:49I had to.
00:40:50Oh, snap out of it.
00:40:51Stop it, Watson.
00:40:52He's shamming.
00:40:53No, he isn't.
00:40:55Who told you to kill me?
00:40:56Corporal Williams,
00:40:58who told you to kill me?
00:41:01She told me.
00:41:02She told you?
00:41:04She told me.
00:41:06I couldn't miss.
00:41:08Well, luckily you did miss, you murderer.
00:41:09She isn't a murderer, Watson.
00:41:13Listen, Corporal Williams,
00:41:16she told you you had to do it, didn't she?
00:41:20I had to do it.
00:41:22I've got it, Watson. I've got it.
00:41:23Got what?
00:41:24The method used in the finger murders.
00:41:26Well, what is it?
00:41:27Hypnotism, my dear fellow. Hypnotism.
00:41:32It wasn't against his nature.
00:41:33That's the devilish part of it.
00:41:35They picked a man for their purpose
00:41:36whose job was sniping.
00:41:38Who were they?
00:41:39Professor Moriarty and his finger murderers.
00:41:42Williams spoke of a woman.
00:41:44I think you will find
00:41:45that she asked him home tonight for a drink.
00:41:49Nice, quiet rooms,
00:41:51soft lights, music.
00:41:52You've got it all pat, Mr. Holmes.
00:41:54What's the lady look like?
00:41:56Oh, up-thirty, nice figure,
00:41:59blonde, lustrous eyes.
00:42:01Oh, really? Got her phone number?
00:42:07Williams will give us her address.
00:42:10Look after him, Gregson.
00:42:11Don't let anyone come near him.
00:42:14He's our key witness in the finger murders.
00:42:16Well, I hope you're guessing right, Mr. Holmes.
00:42:19Get up, Williams.
00:42:23Now, go with Inspector Gregson anywhere he tells you.
00:42:27Come on.
00:42:31Here.
00:42:34Ring me as soon as he comes to himself, will you?
00:42:35I will.
00:42:37Good night, gentlemen.
00:42:38Good night.
00:42:41Well, if you believe that fellow Williams was hypnotized,
00:42:43I suppose you think Sir George Fenwick was hypnotized, too.
00:42:46Yes, I'm quite sure of it.
00:42:47Have a cup of tea?
00:42:48Thanks, old boy, nothing to eat.
00:42:49Why didn't these people make Sir George do the murder himself?
00:42:53Because they didn't want to get him hanged.
00:42:55They, uh...
00:42:57They wanted to blackmail him.
00:42:59Well, who do you think the actual murderer is?
00:43:01One of Moriarty's gang.
00:43:03A diabolically simple technique.
00:43:06Kill a woman...
00:43:07Yes, yes, yes, but why cut off the fingers?
00:43:10My dear fellow, don't you understand?
00:43:12The severed finger is what links the blackmail victim to the murder.
00:43:16He wakes, finds the grisly thing in his pocket,
00:43:19doesn't know how he got there,
00:43:20he's no idea that he's been hypnotized.
00:43:22For all he knows,
00:43:24he may have committed the atrocious crime
00:43:27during some dreadful lapse of sanity.
00:43:30In that state, when he's utterly demoralized,
00:43:32the blackmailers take over, is that it?
00:43:34Undoubtedly.
00:43:35You see, they swear that they saw him commit the murder.
00:43:37And, being human,
00:43:39the victim will pay anything
00:43:40rather than stand trial on a charge
00:43:42that will make his very name loathsome.
00:43:44Oh, it all fits in if you believe in hypnotism.
00:43:46The only possible explanation.
00:43:48You think the hypnotist is that
00:43:50woman with the blonde hair, the lustrous eyes,
00:43:53the woman you invented?
00:43:55I didn't invent her, I saw her.
00:43:57What on earth are you talking about?
00:43:59That woman, my dear Watson,
00:44:02was with Sir George when he left Pembroke House.
00:44:05I saw her there.
00:44:06I shall see her again
00:44:08and Williams will lead me to her.
00:44:10That's why it's so important to keep him safe.
00:44:12He will identify her.
00:44:14Hello?
00:44:15Yes?
00:44:16Inspector Gregson?
00:44:20What?
00:44:22Well, get every constable in the district.
00:44:24Yes, I'll be over at once.
00:44:26What's happened, Holmes?
00:44:27Williams is missing.
00:44:28Great Scott!
00:44:29Come on.
00:44:35Laurie crashed into Gregson's car
00:44:36during the completion of the investigation.
00:44:38What?
00:44:39Gregson's car.
00:44:41Gregson's car?
00:44:42Gregson's car.
00:44:43During the confusion, Williams disappeared.
00:44:45Escaped, eh?
00:44:46No, kidnapped.
00:44:47To keep him from talking when he came to.
00:44:48You don't think that Moriarty...
00:44:50Moriarty?
00:44:51Anything is possible.
00:44:57Williams!
00:44:59Dead.
00:45:00You see?
00:45:01Anything is possible.
00:45:13Oh.
00:45:14Good morning, Professor Moriarty.
00:45:16You startled me.
00:45:18I'm dressing another dolly.
00:45:20A dear little nurse.
00:45:24Is there anything wrong with your finger?
00:45:27Just a splinter.
00:45:29No, it's not a splinter.
00:45:31It's a scar.
00:45:33It's a scar.
00:45:35It's a scar.
00:45:37It's a scar.
00:45:39It's a scar.
00:45:40Just a splinter.
00:45:42Nasty things, splinters.
00:45:44Most trying.
00:45:46One can't be too careful.
00:45:48But I'll get it out for you.
00:45:50I have the very instrument to help you.
00:45:57Sharp enough to split a hair.
00:45:59Put those tools away until they're needed.
00:46:01But they're not tools, sir.
00:46:03They're instruments.
00:46:04Put them away.
00:46:06Is Lydia in?
00:46:07Yes.
00:46:10But really, you should let me...
00:46:14Get dressed.
00:46:16Holmes and Watson just left Baker Street for the Mesmer Club.
00:46:19Mesmer Club?
00:46:20The meeting place of all the top hypnotists in London.
00:46:23Do you suppose that Mr. Holmes is on to our method?
00:46:26It is suspects.
00:46:28It's merely a suspicion.
00:46:30It's our business to see that it ends there.
00:46:32I hope you're right.
00:46:34Williams passed away before he could talk, remember?
00:46:38What do you want me to do?
00:46:40Go to the Mesmer Club, meet Holmes,
00:46:42and induce him to come back here.
00:46:45Isn't that a bit dangerous?
00:46:48Every meeting with Sherlock Holmes is potentially dangerous.
00:46:52However, you say he didn't see your face at Pembroke House.
00:46:56And how would you suggest I get Mr. Holmes to accompany me here?
00:47:01Kidnap him?
00:47:02Oh, no.
00:47:03Holmes has one weakness.
00:47:05His insatiable curiosity.
00:47:07If you can arouse that, you can lead him anywhere.
00:47:10It's up to you to take advantage of any opportunity that may arise.
00:47:14This way, please, gentlemen.
00:47:16I'll tell Dr. Onslow that you're here.
00:47:20This is the Mesmer Club.
00:47:23If you ask me, hypnotism is a lot of mumbo-jumbo.
00:47:27Oh, come now, Watson.
00:47:28As a medical man, you must admit that hypnotism has its place in modern science.
00:47:31That may be, but 90% of hypnotists are crooks of the worst kind.
00:47:35Nothing more than a lot of charlatans exploiting weak-willed morons.
00:47:38Ah, Dr. Onslow, I believe.
00:47:40Happy to meet you, Mr. Holmes.
00:47:42Your brother, Mycroft, suggested I might be of help to you.
00:47:45He's a valued member of our little group of charlatans and crooks.
00:47:50I beg your pardon, sir. I didn't know you were listening.
00:47:52Behind the curtain...
00:47:53My friend, Dr. Watson.
00:47:54Oh, delighted.
00:47:55How do you do?
00:47:56I wonder now.
00:47:57You see, we're in the midst of a little experimental session at this very moment.
00:48:01If you'd care to join us.
00:48:03Oh, certainly.
00:48:04You're very instructive.
00:48:05Oh, well, will you follow me?
00:48:07Well, if you don't know anything, we're behind a blasted clinical...
00:48:09...in treating his patients.
00:48:11But today, the therapeutic value of hypnotism, as we now call it,
00:48:16is conceded by innumerable physicians.
00:48:19Especially as a value in surgical cases
00:48:22where the administration of local or of general anesthetic is inadvisable.
00:48:27Inadvisable poppycock.
00:48:28Who's that?
00:48:29For the sake of latecomers, I may say that I have placed this subject
00:48:32under profound hypnosis.
00:48:34In this condition, he can feel no pain,
00:48:37even under applications which normally would be excruciating.
00:48:41Excruciating?
00:48:42Oh, will you excuse me, please?
00:48:46Carter, you are having a peaceful sleep.
00:48:49You feel nothing.
00:48:51Your arms and your hands are without sensation.
00:48:55Mowbray, the long needle.
00:48:57Carter, give me your right hand.
00:49:12As you observe, the needle has been thrust completely through the subject's hand.
00:49:17No feeling, no pain.
00:49:19This lack of feeling is the one infallible condition
00:49:22of profound hypnosis.
00:49:24Nonsense.
00:49:25The fellow's full of drugs.
00:49:27Oh, isn't he?
00:49:28Definitely not, doctor.
00:49:34Wake up, Carter, wake up.
00:49:36You feel well and rested, remember?
00:49:38No pain anywhere.
00:49:40Wake up, wake up.
00:49:45I say, when are you going to begin?
00:49:46All through, Carter.
00:49:47Stand up.
00:49:48This way, sir.
00:49:51And, uh, are these all the people that come here?
00:49:54Oh, no, no, no.
00:49:55Others keep dropping in all the time.
00:49:57I suppose it's all right for those who believe in it,
00:49:59but, of course, I'm a professional man myself.
00:50:02Then you don't believe in hypnotism, Dr. Watson.
00:50:05Oh, I don't deny that there are certain types of hysterical people,
00:50:08minded people, who go under if you point a finger at them.
00:50:11But anyone who doesn't believe in hypnotism
00:50:14is a hypnotist.
00:50:15And those who do go under if you point a finger at them.
00:50:18But anyone with an ounce of character...
00:50:21How right you are.
00:50:23You see right through our little artifices, don't you, doctor?
00:50:26Right through, my dear sir, right through.
00:50:28Quite so.
00:50:29But with the feeble-minded, as you say...
00:50:33Excuse us, Mr. Holmes.
00:50:34Oh, certainly.
00:50:35Step over here, won't you?
00:50:36Certainly, sir.
00:50:37Anything to oblige?
00:50:38Let me show you how easily we charlatans
00:50:42take advantage of them.
00:50:44Now, sit down, doctor.
00:50:49Now, we set a thing like this in motion.
00:50:55It's wonderful, the attraction,
00:50:58on the feeble-minded, of course.
00:51:00The continuous motion,
00:51:03if they just let themselves follow it.
00:51:07Of course, you could stare at it till doomsday, Dr. Watson,
00:51:11with no effect at all.
00:51:14Still, it might make you a little drowsy,
00:51:19like the white ribbon of road at night when you're driving.
00:51:25The rhythm is smooth, unbroken.
00:51:31And the road goes on and on, round and round,
00:51:37always the same, winding and winding.
00:51:42And you're drowsy, you're tired.
00:51:46Let the road come into you, as it were.
00:51:51The long road, the smooth road,
00:51:56the road to sleep.
00:52:00Sleep.
00:52:07Open your eyes.
00:52:10Stand up.
00:52:14Turn around.
00:52:17And now, Dr. Watson, you're on a holiday in Scotland.
00:52:22The country is amazingly beautiful.
00:52:25We're coming to a stream.
00:52:28It isn't deep.
00:52:31It isn't deep.
00:52:34Better take your shoes and socks off.
00:52:48Roll up your trouser.
00:52:55That will do. The other leg is waterproof.
00:52:59Turn around. Mind the pedals.
00:53:08Sit down.
00:53:14Wake up now.
00:53:21There you are, you see? What did I tell you? It didn't work with me.
00:53:24Why, nobody with an ounce of character...
00:53:29Hm? Hm?
00:53:32I think you'll need these.
00:53:40Hello, Inglis Alford. Watson, she's here.
00:53:42Who? The woman you're looking for?
00:53:44Yes, I'm going to meet her. Perhaps I can induce her to take me to Moriarty.
00:53:48Do you think it's wise, Holmes?
00:53:49It may not be wise, but it's essential.
00:53:51After all, I've held my own with Moriarty in the past.
00:53:53But isn't it dangerous? She might be a hypnotist.
00:53:55My will isn't stronger than hers.
00:53:57I deserve to be hypnotized.
00:53:59I feel I must protest, Dr. Onslow.
00:54:01I was told this was a gathering of serious students of a great science.
00:54:04And I find myself in a company of buffoons.
00:54:06Oh, my dear madam...
00:54:07Eldridge and Esdale Braid.
00:54:09Were those men modest for the truth?
00:54:11That you may laugh over your childish, cruel tricks?
00:54:13I must say I'm in complete agreement with you, madam.
00:54:15This was most unnecessary performance, Dr. Onslow.
00:54:18I beg your pardon, sir.
00:54:19My name is Holmes, Sherlock Holmes.
00:54:21At your service, madam.
00:54:23Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:54:24I'm afraid I've created a rather embarrassing situation.
00:54:26But you see, I'm interested in the serious study of hypnotism.
00:54:29So am I, too.
00:54:30Perhaps we have something in common, Mr. Holmes.
00:54:32Perhaps we have.
00:54:33Would you join me for a cocktail at Pembroke House?
00:54:35I should be delighted.
00:54:37Good.
00:54:56I didn't know there was such a pleasant place in London.
00:54:59It was so nice of you to suggest our coming here.
00:55:01I thought a little pick-me-up would do us good.
00:55:03You mean you thought I looked...
00:55:05I like the way you look.
00:55:11I suppose I did lose my head a little at the Mesmer Club.
00:55:14But you see, hypnotism is almost a religion with me.
00:55:18I know so well what it can do to help, heal.
00:55:21And I can't bear to see it used for trivial purposes.
00:55:23I know very little about it.
00:55:24That's why I went to the Mesmer Club.
00:55:26You see, I'm rather puzzled just now with the case that I'm working on.
00:55:29How fascinating. Tell me about it.
00:55:31It's the murder of Sir George Fenwick.
00:55:33Fenwick?
00:55:34Who is he?
00:55:36Quite a well-known figure.
00:55:38Odd now I come to think of it.
00:55:40Last time I saw Sir George was here at Pembroke House.
00:55:44Strange.
00:55:45Yes, isn't it?
00:55:46He was sitting...
00:55:49I believe he was sitting at this very table.
00:55:53Cigarette?
00:55:54Thanks. Do go on.
00:55:56There was a charming lady with him.
00:55:58He was...
00:56:00He was lighting a cigarette.
00:56:07Charming.
00:56:08Did you see her face?
00:56:10No, worse luck.
00:56:12Merely her back.
00:56:14How unenterprising of you.
00:56:16Yes, wasn't it?
00:56:17Afraid I'm getting a little older.
00:56:19I shouldn't say so.
00:56:20That's nice of you.
00:56:21Still, the first time in my life I've got hold of a case that's beyond me.
00:56:26I'm actually losing sleep over it.
00:56:28You know, Mr. Holmes, I believe I could help you.
00:56:31Really? I should be very grateful.
00:56:34You're amused.
00:56:35No, merely skeptical.
00:56:37How would you go about it?
00:56:39I've used hypnotism more than once in healing.
00:56:42Not for profit.
00:56:44I'm not a professional.
00:56:46But I do think I could help you.
00:56:48If you care to...
00:56:50I can't think of a pleasanter experience.
00:57:08Low lights, music, is that all there is to it?
00:57:10You must relax, Mr. Holmes.
00:57:12I'm afraid you're a rather difficult subject.
00:57:15So I thought perhaps a little help.
00:57:19Materia Medica might be advisable.
00:57:21Drugs?
00:57:27No, I'd rather not, if you don't mind.
00:57:29As a matter of fact, I'd rather not myself.
00:57:32But shrink-knotting he practiced in Munich, you know.
00:57:34Believed it the best means for difficult subjects.
00:57:37Do you mind?
00:57:39Well, as a matter of fact, I don't appreciate it.
00:57:42Well, as a matter of fact, I don't approve of sedatives.
00:57:45Just as you wish.
00:57:47We don't have to go on with this at all, you know.
00:57:49Wait a minute.
00:57:53Wait a minute.
00:57:57All right, I'll take a chance.
00:58:00It's really quite harmless.
00:58:02What is it?
00:58:04Cannabis japonica, an oriental soap orific.
00:58:06You'll need water.
00:58:18Now sit down, Mr. Hobbins.
00:58:25You'll feel yourself growing drowsy.
00:58:27Don't fight it.
00:58:29Give in to it.
00:58:31Because you do want to sleep, you know.
00:58:34But you don't have to.
00:58:36Give in to it.
00:58:38Because you do want to sleep, you know.
00:58:43Just fix your eyes on this one white flower.
00:58:48Floating on the water.
00:58:51Empty your mind of every other thought.
00:58:56Follow the motion of the water.
00:58:58So smooth.
00:59:01Not a ripple.
00:59:04Waters of forgetfulness.
00:59:08Steady.
00:59:11Deep.
00:59:14Strong.
00:59:18Strange, isn't it?
00:59:20How the light is reflected.
00:59:23Little specks of light that move and move.
00:59:33It's restful here.
00:59:37It's peaceful.
00:59:42It's friendly.
00:59:45And you're very close to finding what you're looking for.
00:59:49You'll find them soon now.
00:59:52The guilty ones.
00:59:56When you're rested.
00:59:59Gentle waters closing over you.
01:00:03Steady.
01:00:06Deep.
01:00:08Strong.
01:00:12Drawing you down.
01:00:16Down.
01:00:19Down.
01:00:30Sleep.
01:00:34Sleep.
01:00:37Sleep.
01:01:03Sleep.
01:01:05Sleep.
01:01:32Here he is, Professor Moriarty.
01:01:36Stand up, Mr. Holmes.
01:01:43Open your eyes.
01:01:47Face this way.
01:01:52Are you satisfied?
01:01:56We are dealing with a clever man. He may be shamming.
01:02:00There's just one infallible test for profound hypnosis.
01:02:05Are you ready, Dr. Simnel?
01:02:18That will do, Doctor. He couldn't fake insensitivity to the knife.
01:02:23I congratulate you, Lydia.
01:02:27Turn around, Mr. Holmes.
01:02:30Now walk to the desk.
01:02:36Sit down.
01:02:39Take that pen and write what I tell you to write.
01:02:44I have at last found a case which I cannot solve.
01:02:52I have outlived my usefulness.
01:02:58Therefore I have decided to end my life.
01:03:02Sign your name.
01:03:07Now blot it.
01:03:14Fold it up.
01:03:18And put it in your pocket.
01:03:21Come, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:03:24Go out into the world.
01:03:27Come, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
01:03:30Go out onto the terrace.
01:03:34But it won't look like suicide, sir.
01:03:36I'm sorry, but Mr. Holmes' injuries must all be self-inflicted.
01:03:42Let's walk a little, Mr. Holmes.
01:03:46It's so pleasant here in the garden.
01:03:49Come.
01:03:53Just step up here onto the terrace.
01:03:55It's a nice, broad terrace.
01:04:01Now turn to the left and walk slowly to the end of the terrace.
01:04:06Don't stop. You must walk to the end, you know.
01:04:13The end leads to an open doorway.
01:04:15You can pass through it in perfect safety.
01:04:17In the room beyond the doorway,
01:04:19you'll find what you've been looking for.
01:04:21Must you drag me into this?
01:04:23I'm not going to let you in.
01:04:25I'm not going to let you in.
01:04:27I'm not going to let you in.
01:04:29I'm not going to let you in.
01:04:31I'm not going to let you in.
01:04:33This is what you've been looking for.
01:04:35Must you drag this on?
01:04:37This is the moment I've been anticipating for a long time, my dear.
01:04:40Go on, Mr. Holmes.
01:04:47Through the open doorway,
01:04:49you will find the man responsible for the finger murders
01:04:52and the death of Sir George Fenning.
01:04:54Professor Moriarty.
01:04:56Holmes!
01:04:59Stand still!
01:05:01What a beautiful view, Watson. I'm quite enjoying it.
01:05:03No, you're not. You're hypnotized.
01:05:05You're under a spell.
01:05:07Stand still. Don't move.
01:05:09Steady, Holmes. Steady, does it.
01:05:11Stand perfectly still where you are.
01:05:13Nonsense, Watson.
01:05:15You don't know what you're doing. Of course I know what I'm doing.
01:05:17You mean you're not hypnotized? Certainly not.
01:05:19Then get off the wall, you idiot.
01:05:21Look out! Holmes!
01:05:23What were you doing up there?
01:05:25Holding the fort until you arrived.
01:05:27What kept you?
01:05:29I ran into a spot of trouble on my way to Scotland Yard.
01:05:32I was arrested for exceeding the speed limit.
01:05:34Your luck seems to hold, Mr. Holmes.
01:05:36I'd hardly call it luck, Professor.
01:05:38You see, I substituted a drug of my own
01:05:40for the one that this dear lady pressed on me.
01:05:43You are clever, aren't you?
01:05:45A drug that, although it leaves the subject conscious,
01:05:47renders him quite insensitive to pain.
01:05:49That accounted for my lack of reaction to Dr. Simmel's knife.
01:05:53Well, Gregson, quite an impressive haul.
01:05:55Even Inspector Lestrade himself couldn't have done any better.
01:05:58Thanks, Mr. Holmes. Take him away.
01:06:00All right. Put her in the van.
01:06:03I was right, Mr. Holmes.
01:06:05You are a difficult subject.
01:06:11And now, Professor,
01:06:13our score is settled.
01:06:15Au revoir until I see you on the gallows.
01:06:17The rope has not been made that will go around my neck.
01:06:20Come on.
01:06:29Aah!
01:06:34I'll take care of things, Mr. Holmes.
01:06:36Thank you, Inspector. Come on.
01:06:40An evil man, Holmes, but what a horrible death.
01:06:43Better than he deserved.
01:06:47What are you thinking of?
01:06:49I'm thinking of all the women who can come and go in safety
01:06:51in the streets of London tonight.
01:06:54The stars keep watching their heavens.
01:06:57And in our own little way, we too, old friend,
01:07:00are privileged to watch over our city.
