00:00:23 [Music]
00:00:41 [Sound of a dinosaur roaring]
00:01:01 [Music]
00:01:24 Know then the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles. Know then that the great hall of Baskervilles was once held by Sir Hugo of that name.
00:01:35 A wild, profane, and godless man. An evil man in truth. For there was with him a certain ugly and cruel humor that made his name a byword in the county.
00:01:47 [Sound of a dinosaur roaring]
00:01:51 Our friend learns swiftly. He's already learned to fly like a wild boar and now he swims like a waterfowl.
00:02:00 [Laughter]
00:02:05 Shall we see how he roasts?
00:02:07 [Laughter]
00:02:11 By the time the night is out our friend will know better than to condemn the sport of his master.
00:02:15 [Sound of a dinosaur roaring]
00:02:19 Come on out. Come on.
00:02:22 [Sound of a dinosaur roaring]
00:02:29 Here he comes Sir Hugo.
00:02:31 [Sound of a dinosaur roaring]
00:02:42 Now our waterfowl has become guinea fowl.
00:02:45 Guinea pig more likely.
00:02:47 [Laughter]
00:02:49 A bird or beast will still make him sing like a nightingale.
00:02:52 [Laughter]
00:02:55 This may teach you to criticize my pleasures.
00:02:58 If it were anyone but my own daughter master.
00:03:01 You should be proud that a Baskervilles should so much as look at your miserable child.
00:03:06 [Sound of a dinosaur roaring]
00:03:16 No, no. The game was spoiled before the wager was laid.
00:03:21 [Laughter]
00:03:23 Do not card me Sir as I pray you.
00:03:25 [Laughter]
00:03:27 I will not pay.
00:03:29 [Laughter]
00:03:31 Well if I must I must. But not in gold.
00:03:35 [Laughter]
00:03:36 In kind.
00:03:37 In kind.
00:03:38 With a plating I was keeping for myself.
00:03:40 [Sip]
00:03:44 I accept.
00:03:46 Where is the girl?
00:03:47 Girl?
00:03:48 What talk is this of a girl I know of no girl.
00:03:51 [Laughter]
00:03:53 Enough, enough. You shall see her at once.
00:03:56 And you shall see her before Sir Richard Bess with passion.
00:03:59 [Laughter]
00:04:02 See to it that there be no fighting among your herd of rams.
00:04:06 [Shouting]
00:04:12 [Sound of a thunder]
00:04:26 [Sound of a thunder]
00:04:51 [Laughter]
00:04:58 [Sound of a thunder]
00:05:02 Bitch has got away.
00:05:06 What does she think I am that she does this to me?
00:05:10 Damn her, damn her.
00:05:16 I have her now.
00:05:18 You there let loose the pack.
00:05:21 And you my hunter at the door.
00:05:24 Set the hounds on her.
00:05:25 But sir you can't do that.
00:05:28 Hounds let loose the pack.
00:05:31 [Sound of a thunder]
00:05:59 My friend you cannot do this.
00:06:01 I'll get her.
00:06:03 May the hounds of hell take me if I can't hunt her down.
00:06:06 [Sound of a thunder]
00:06:20 [Sound of a thunder]
00:06:49 [Sound of a thunder]
00:07:07 [Sound of a thunder]
00:07:22 Come on.
00:07:28 Come on will you, what's the matter with you?
00:07:30 Come on will you.
00:07:33 [Sound of a thunder]
00:07:54 [Sound of a thunder]
00:08:23 [Sound of a thunder]
00:08:36 [Sound of a thunder]
00:08:55 [Sound of a thunder]
00:08:59 Now you witch.
00:09:16 [Sound of a thunder]
00:09:45 [Sound of a thunder]
00:09:52 And so the curse of Sir Hugo came upon the Baskervilles in the shape of a hound from hell.
00:09:59 Forever to bring misfortune to the Baskerville family.
00:10:03 Therefore take heed and beware the Moor in those dark hours when evil is exalted.
00:10:10 Else you will surely meet the hound of hell, the hound of the Baskervilles.
00:10:17 So ends the legend.
00:10:21 And what may I ask, do you think of that Mr. Holmes?
00:10:26 Ah.
00:10:33 [Chuckles]
00:10:35 There must be hundreds of similar folk stories, I fail to see why I should find this one of single interest.
00:10:40 What do you say Watson?
00:10:42 Well, I'm sure Dr. Mortimer's intentions are for the best but there seems little to be gained from what he's told us.
00:10:51 I had hoped sir, that the facts I have laid before you might have intrigued you as a detective.
00:10:56 I was obviously mistaken.
00:10:59 Good day to you sir.
00:11:00 Dr. Mortimer, if there was something more important that brought you all the way from Devonshire to Baker Street.
00:11:05 Something that occurred on Dartmoor on Friday the 13th of June.
00:11:09 You've known about it all the time then?
00:11:11 I know nothing except that you live on Dartmoor.
00:11:14 That you have a copy of the Devon County Chronicle in your briefcase dated June the 14th.
00:11:18 That newspaper is published on Saturdays but goes to press on Thursdays.
00:11:21 You've kept it for something vitally important.
00:11:24 There is nothing of particular interest in the headlines therefore it must be in the stop press.
00:11:27 So, whatever it was happened on the Friday. Friday the 13th of June.
00:11:31 But this is remarkable.
00:11:33 Superficial. There's nothing remarkable about using one's eyes.
00:11:36 Now sir, would you be prepared to give us the relevant facts?
00:11:40 Yes. Yes, under the circumstances I think I would.
00:11:44 Proceed.
00:11:45 Thank you.
00:11:46 This is just the stop press.
00:11:48 Devonshire Knight found dead.
00:11:50 The body of Sir Charles Baskerville discovered on Dartmoor early today.
00:11:54 Foul play not suspected.
00:11:57 Of course the account in the next edition is much fuller.
00:12:00 Where are we?
00:12:02 Yes, here we are.
00:12:04 The death of Sir Charles Baskerville has caused much sadness in the small village of Grimpen, Dartmoor.
00:12:09 Dr. Richard Mortimer, a well known Devonshire personality, said today that...
00:12:13 If you'll pardon me Dr. Mortimer, I want just the plain facts.
00:12:17 In your own words.
00:12:20 Please.
00:12:22 Very well.
00:12:24 The plain facts of the matter are that a fortnight ago,
00:12:27 Sir Charles Baskerville was found lying dead on the moor.
00:12:30 Who found him?
00:12:31 His servant, Barrymore.
00:12:33 He and his wife are housekeepers up at Baskerville Hall.
00:12:36 He fetched me at once and took me straight back to the body.
00:12:39 Where was the body? Somewhere on Dartmoor I know, but exactly where?
00:12:42 It's a very large place.
00:12:43 Near the abbey ruins up on the hill, not far from Baskerville Hall.
00:12:47 The place where Sir Hugo died in a legend.
00:12:51 And the circumstances were exactly the same.
00:12:55 You mean that Sir Charles had been attacked?
00:12:57 That his throat had been torn out?
00:12:59 Oh no, no, no.
00:13:00 No, the body was untouched.
00:13:02 But his face...
00:13:05 Never in all my medical career have I seen such a look of horror on a dead person.
00:13:10 Sir Charles must have been terrified when he died.
00:13:14 But he was alone.
00:13:16 The strange thing was, there were no footprints Mr. Holmes.
00:13:20 That cannot be quite true, Kenneth.
00:13:22 They were the servant Barrymore's for instance, your own, and Sir Charles's.
00:13:25 Oh yes, of course, but what I meant to say was, there were no other footprints.
00:13:30 Facts are only of value when they're clear, concise and correct, Dr. Mortimer.
00:13:33 Pray continue.
00:13:35 And there was another strange thing.
00:13:38 Sir Charles must have been tiptoeing back to Baskerville Hall when he died.
00:13:42 I could tell that because the footmarks showed only the toes of his boots.
00:13:46 There were no heel marks.
00:13:48 I'm something of an archaeologist in my spare time, and so I'm used to looking for the extraordinary.
00:13:54 You have not yet told us what Sir Charles died of before you do so.
00:13:57 I suggest it was heart failure.
00:14:00 Well, the inquest found that he died of arteriosclerosis, a disease of the coronary arteries.
00:14:06 A condition of the heart that can lead to heart failure.
00:14:12 Yes, I think it must be hereditary with the Baskervilles.
00:14:16 They all seem to suffer from the same weakness.
00:14:19 Is there a successor to the family title?
00:14:21 Yes, Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:14:24 He's due to arrive in London tonight from Johannesburg.
00:14:29 Why have you come to me, Dr. Mortimer, when you really don't believe that I can help you?
00:14:34 I don't think I know what you mean.
00:14:36 I think you do.
00:14:38 Excuse me.
00:14:41 Although you knew Sir Charles died of natural causes, you've implied that he met a more horrible death...
00:14:45 ...that he might have encountered this Hound of Hell, the curse of the Baskervilles.
00:14:49 Do you really believe that legend?
00:14:51 There are many things in life and death that we do not understand, Mr. Holmes.
00:14:55 Then I suggest you might have done better to have consulted a priest instead of a detective.
00:14:58 Do you imagine that I can influence the powers of darkness?
00:15:01 Of course not.
00:15:02 But I thought you might prevent Sir Henry from going into danger.
00:15:05 My dear sir, it's an evil curse on the family.
00:15:07 It can be just as powerful in London as in Devonshire.
00:15:10 Where will he be staying?
00:15:12 At the Northumberland Hotel.
00:15:14 Does this mean then that you will investigate the matter?
00:15:16 I have not said so.
00:15:18 My commitments are heavy.
00:15:19 I beg of you, Mr. Holmes.
00:15:21 This is a matter of life and death.
00:15:23 Well, there can be no harm done by my seeing the man.
00:15:26 Shall we say ten o'clock tomorrow morning?
00:15:28 At the hotel?
00:15:29 Good.
00:15:30 That will suit admirably.
00:15:32 Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:15:34 You will not find me ungenerous in the matter of fees.
00:15:38 My professional charges are upon a fixed scale.
00:15:41 I do not vary them, except when I remit them altogether.
00:15:45 Good day.
00:15:46 Good day, Mr. Holmes.
00:15:48 Thank you, Doctor.
00:15:52 Not at all, Doctor.
00:15:54 Good day, Dr. Watson.
00:16:00 Well, I must say, you never cease to surprise me, Holmes.
00:16:07 First you tear the man apart and then you say that you'll help him.
00:16:10 Oh, dear Watson, you ought to know me better by now.
00:16:12 I had to burst the balloon, deflect the man's pomposity to find one significant clue.
00:16:16 I saw nothing of significance in anything he said.
00:16:19 I'm surprised you bothered with the man.
00:16:21 Nevertheless, one important point did emerge.
00:16:23 Didn't you notice anything odd in what he told us?
00:16:25 Well, the only thing odd I noticed was when he said that Sir Charles was tiptoeing about Dartmoor in the middle of the night.
00:16:31 That's just it, Watson.
00:16:32 Well done, my boy.
00:16:33 But he wasn't tiptoeing.
00:16:34 He was running.
00:16:35 Running for his life.
00:16:37 Running in panic until he burst his heart.
00:16:39 Would you mind sorting out a large-scale map of Dartmoor, my dear fellow, while I find some more tobacco?
00:16:44 This, I think, is a two-pipe problem.
00:16:46 Come in.
00:16:58 So you finally managed to get here.
00:17:02 I was not aware that we had kept you.
00:17:06 Kept me? I sent for you over 20 minutes ago.
00:17:08 Well, uh, I think perhaps you've made a mistake.
00:17:12 Yes, I've made a mistake, all right.
00:17:14 The mistake I made was never coming to this hotel.
00:17:16 What have you been able to find out about my other boot?
00:17:19 They were both here when I put them out to be cleaned last night.
00:17:21 But nobody knows.
00:17:23 Porter, the maid, the boot boy.
00:17:25 Nobody in this hotel of yours knows where the other one's gone to.
00:17:29 You're the manager.
00:17:31 Perhaps you'll be good enough to tell me just what you do with all your boots.
00:17:34 I'm a human slater, I'm afraid.
00:17:36 I'm not confounded horse buses.
00:17:38 However, I see you both made each other's acquaintance,
00:17:40 so we might as well get down to business, eh?
00:17:42 We have not yet been given an opportunity to introduce ourselves.
00:17:45 Oh, I'm so sorry. Please let me.
00:17:47 Sir Henry, let me introduce Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
00:17:51 Dr. Watson, Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:17:53 I'm afraid you're a little late, Mortimer.
00:17:55 I've already managed to make quite a fool of myself.
00:17:58 Gentlemen, I must ask you to accept my apologies.
00:18:02 Dr. Watson, Mr. Holmes.
00:18:04 How do you do?
00:18:06 Very glad to meet you both. I'm sorry if I've embarrassed you.
00:18:08 Please say no more about it. It was quite understandable.
00:18:10 Yes, indeed. I hope that the missing boots will turn up very soon.
00:18:14 So do I. I can understand somebody wanting to steal a pair of boots, but one...
00:18:19 Well, there it is. Please sit down, gentlemen.
00:18:22 Thank you.
00:18:24 Now, Mr. Holmes.
00:18:27 Dr. Mortimer has no doubt explained why he's asked us to come here.
00:18:30 He has, and I may as well tell you
00:18:32 I consider him to have been somewhat hasty in asking for your advice.
00:18:36 Oh, sure it was only to protect your interests.
00:18:39 He has told you of the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
00:18:42 Yes, but I don't attach any importance to that sort of old wives' tale.
00:18:45 A man out of my own heart.
00:18:48 You intend to go down to Devonshire and live at Baskerville Hall?
00:18:51 I've already come a very long way, Mr. Holmes, to do exactly that,
00:18:54 and nothing is going to stop me. You can understand that, surely?
00:18:57 I can, indeed. The estate must be worth a vast amount of money.
00:19:00 Exactly how much, Dr. Mortimer?
00:19:02 You will forgive me if I ask what may seem a very personal question?
00:19:05 Of course.
00:19:06 Well?
00:19:07 Well, when everything's settled up, I suppose close on a million pounds.
00:19:10 Mm.
00:19:12 Did anyone else benefit under Sir Charles' will?
00:19:15 Yes. He left the Barrymores a thousand pounds,
00:19:18 which I thought was rather too generous.
00:19:21 And I myself received something.
00:19:23 How much?
00:19:24 Come, Mr. Holmes, is this really necessary?
00:19:27 I would not have asked otherwise.
00:19:29 Very well.
00:19:31 He left me 40,000 pounds.
00:19:34 Then you see I was Sir Charles' best friend.
00:19:36 Were there no other relatives?
00:19:38 No.
00:19:40 Sir Henry is the last of the Baskervilles.
00:19:43 That's why I'm so anxious to safeguard his interests.
00:19:45 Oh, very wise of you.
00:19:47 One thing is certain, Sir Henry.
00:19:49 On no account must you go down to Devonshire alone.
00:19:52 Oh, that's all taken care of. Dr. Mortimer's coming with me.
00:19:55 Dr. Mortimer will have his praxis to attend to.
00:19:58 I can look after myself, Mr. Holmes.
00:20:00 I must impress upon you that I believe your life to be in some considerable danger.
00:20:04 Now, look, Mr. Holmes, if you attach so much importance to this,
00:20:07 why don't you come down to Dartmoor with me today?
00:20:09 We can pack a bag before the train leaves.
00:20:11 You're going today?
00:20:13 I can't possibly leave town until the end of the week at least.
00:20:16 Watson.
00:20:18 You're free at the moment, aren't you?
00:20:20 Well, yes, I am.
00:20:22 If you think I could do the job.
00:20:24 You're the very man for it. Let's settle then.
00:20:26 You'll go down with them. You'll keep in touch by telegram.
00:20:29 Sir Henry, I am not a man to overestimate danger,
00:20:33 but I must insist upon one thing.
00:20:35 Under no circumstances are you to venture out onto the moor alone at night.
00:20:40 Oh, very well.
00:20:44 As things have gone as far as this, I'll do as you say for the moment.
00:20:47 But I'm not yet convinced that I need the services of a detective at all.
00:20:53 Unless it's to help me find my other boots.
00:20:56 Sir Henry, keep perfectly still.
00:21:00 If you value your life.
00:21:02 (GUNSHOT)
00:21:04 Move your head.
00:21:27 Carefully.
00:21:29 I can't.
00:21:30 You must.
00:21:32 Leave it to me now, Holmes.
00:21:51 No, look after him.
00:21:53 Grab him off my crib, Holmes.
00:21:58 Come along.
00:22:00 What a filthy thing. Horrible.
00:22:07 You've had a lucky escape,
00:22:09 but we must make certain never to be caught off our guard again.
00:22:12 You're suggesting that that thing was put in there deliberately?
00:22:16 The powers of evil can take many forms.
00:22:19 Remember that, Sir Henry, when you're at Baskerville Hall.
00:22:22 Do as the legend tells,
00:22:24 and avoid them more when the forces of darkness are exalted.
00:22:28 Move it!
00:22:52 Are you sure you don't want us to take you into the village, Mortimer?
00:22:55 Quite sure. It'll only take you out of your way,
00:22:57 whereas it's only a short walk across the mire.
00:22:59 You'd be better off to go along with us, Doctor.
00:23:01 Kindly wait until you're spoken to, Perkins,
00:23:03 and get on with what you're doing.
00:23:05 Whatever you say, Sir.
00:23:07 But don't blame me if you get your throat cut.
00:23:09 What are you talking about, man?
00:23:11 There's been an escape.
00:23:12 An escape? When?
00:23:14 Night before last. A man named Selden.
00:23:16 Nasty customer, from all accounts.
00:23:18 What's all this about, Mortimer?
00:23:20 Forgive me, Sir Henry, you wouldn't know about it.
00:23:22 One of our largest prisons, commonly called Dartmoor,
00:23:25 lies only seven miles across the moor.
00:23:27 It appears that one of the prisoners has broken out.
00:23:30 Selden? Yes, I remember the case.
00:23:33 He murdered a number of street women.
00:23:36 I thought you hanged people for murder in this country.
00:23:39 There was some talk of him being insane,
00:23:41 so they sentenced him to life imprisonment instead.
00:23:44 Won't do him no good, though, Sir, escaping.
00:23:46 He'll only starve himself to death out there.
00:23:49 Or something worse.
00:23:51 What do you mean by that?
00:23:53 Why, nothing, Sir.
00:23:55 Just my foolishness.
00:23:57 I feel you should let us take you into the village, Mortimer.
00:24:00 He might be anywhere out there.
00:24:02 Don't you worry about me. I can look after myself.
00:24:04 Goodbye.
00:24:06 Goodbye.
00:24:08 All right, Perkins. Heel!
00:24:11 (HORSE GALLOPING)
00:24:13 The curse upon the family.
00:24:22 Unhappiness and death to his descendants.
00:24:25 That's what he left, Sir Henry.
00:24:27 He certainly has a lot to answer for.
00:24:30 What about this one here?
00:24:32 That was another picture of Sir Hugo.
00:24:35 He disappeared under mysterious circumstances some months back.
00:24:38 You mean it was stolen?
00:24:40 In the middle of the night.
00:24:42 And what steps were taken to recover it?
00:24:44 Your uncle called in the police from Exeter,
00:24:46 but they could find no trace.
00:24:48 Well, one picture of that scoundrel is more than enough.
00:24:53 What do you say, Watson?
00:24:55 - Are your glasses empty, please? - No.
00:24:58 You must be bored to tears by all this rigmarole about my family.
00:25:01 - You must think me a terrible host. - Not at all.
00:25:04 I've found it extremely interesting.
00:25:06 Have you? Well, it's very nice of you to say so.
00:25:09 - Barrymore. - Sir.
00:25:11 Would you and your good wife care to join me in a toast?
00:25:14 It's most kind of you, Sir Henry.
00:25:16 Let us drink to my first day at Baskerville Hall,
00:25:23 and to my firm belief that the family curse is nothing but a legend,
00:25:28 and that the hound of hell will never again bring fear to those on the moor at night.
00:25:33 (Glasses clatter)
00:25:35 I must ask you to excuse my wife's behaviour, Sir Henry.
00:25:47 She was most upset by Sir Charles's death.
00:25:49 Her nerves have been in a bad way ever since.
00:25:51 I'm very sorry to hear that, Barrymore.
00:25:53 Watson, you can give her something for her nerves, can't you?
00:25:56 - Yes, of course. I will. - Oh, Barrymore.
00:26:00 Since you've mentioned Sir Charles's death,
00:26:03 perhaps you could tell us a little more about it.
00:26:05 You were the first to discover the body, weren't you?
00:26:08 That's correct. It was terrible, Sir.
00:26:11 I never saw such a dreadful look on anybody's face before.
00:26:15 You found Sir Charles's body up near the old abbey, I understand.
00:26:21 What made you go up there to look for him?
00:26:24 I didn't, Sir. I was on my way to tell Dr Mortimer that he was missing,
00:26:28 and then I... then I saw Sir Charles lying there, dead.
00:26:33 But what made you decide to go across the moor to look for Sir Charles?
00:26:38 I've had a look at a map of the locality,
00:26:41 and surely it would have been quicker for you to have taken the trap and gone by road.
00:26:45 There's a shortcut across the moor, Sir.
00:26:48 Barrymore, did you go across the moor
00:26:51 because you were half expecting to find Sir Charles there?
00:26:55 Because of the legend?
00:26:57 What do you know about the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles, don't you?
00:27:01 Do you believe it?
00:27:04 Do you really believe that there is a creature out there?
00:27:08 I don't know what to believe, Sir.
00:27:11 All I know is that I've heard it.
00:27:14 Heard its terrible howl on the night before Sir Charles died,
00:27:18 and I never want to hear such a sound again in all my life.
00:27:22 (howling)
00:27:25 (sobbing)
00:27:29 (sobbing)
00:27:33 (sobbing)
00:27:37 (sobbing)
00:27:40 (sobbing)
00:28:07 (snoring)
00:28:11 (snoring)
00:28:15 (snoring)
00:28:18 (howling)
00:28:24 (snoring)
00:28:36 (snoring)
00:28:39 - Can I help you, Sir? - Oh, no, thank you, no, thank you.
00:29:03 It's gone away. Oh, damn it, I could have done with that.
00:29:06 But an excellent specimen of Coleopterus capers.
00:29:09 I collect them, you know.
00:29:12 - Why, it's Henry, eh? - It is?
00:29:15 Yeah, the Baskerville mob.
00:29:17 I could have recognized you anywhere, even among the natives.
00:29:20 That's Franklin, is the name. Franklin, Bishop of the Outer Isles,
00:29:25 for what they're worth.
00:29:27 Very glad to meet you, Sir. Won't you come in?
00:29:30 Thank you.
00:29:33 Yes, how... how good, how very good
00:29:37 to see a new owner of Baskerville Hall, eh?
00:29:41 Oh, well, no, that's, uh... well, that's not quite what I meant.
00:29:45 Poor Sir Charles.
00:29:47 Oh, what a splendid fellow he was.
00:29:50 - So you knew my uncle? - Knew him?
00:29:52 My dear fellow, we were the greatest friends.
00:29:55 How many times Sir Charles and I have discussed life, you know.
00:29:59 Yeah.
00:30:02 Over a glass of sherry.
00:30:04 Well, in that case, Bishop, perhaps you'd care to join me in a glass of sherry now?
00:30:08 Now, you mention sherry, I... I think perhaps I might like a glass.
00:30:13 I saw Bishop Franklin's coming up the drive, Sir Henry.
00:30:17 Very well. Oh, still the faithful retainer, eh?
00:30:21 Oh.
00:30:23 Thank you.
00:30:25 - For you, Sir Henry? - I'll think about what I'm doing.
00:30:28 - Sir Henry? - I'll think about what I'm doing.
00:30:30 You know, it's the best sherry in Devon, I always say.
00:30:33 Oh, Sir Charles knew his creature comforts all right.
00:30:36 I've seen him with some very attractive creatures at times.
00:30:39 Yes, he knew a woman when he saw one, did Sir Charles.
00:30:44 Oh, yes.
00:30:46 Poor fellow.
00:30:48 May he rest in peace.
00:30:50 What a loss.
00:30:52 Oh, thank... Do you know, I think I should like another glass.
00:30:57 Oh, Watson, I don't think you've met the Bishop.
00:31:00 - Mr Franklin, Dr Watson. - How do you do?
00:31:03 Watson, you say the name is.
00:31:05 Yes, well, I knew a Watson in Caprino.
00:31:07 Yes, a notorious white slave. A nice fellow, though.
00:31:10 - Relation of yours? - No, sir.
00:31:13 Not that I know of. But of course, it is possible.
00:31:17 You've come to approve the new Lord of the Manor, I imagine?
00:31:21 - I think that's necessary. - Thank you.
00:31:23 But why have I come?
00:31:25 - Oh, yes, of course, the jumble sale. - Jumble sale? What on earth's that?
00:31:28 Oh, it's a colloquial expression, Sir Henry.
00:31:31 It's a sale of oddments, Sir Henry.
00:31:33 I was wondering if you had anything you could spare for us.
00:31:36 An odd tablecloth or an old suit or some...
00:31:39 - Well, cast-off silver? - If I'm quite sure I can, I'll ask Mrs Barrymore.
00:31:43 Well, that's very kind of you.
00:31:45 May I give you the address in which you could have them sent?
00:31:49 I'm sure we shall all be very grateful to you.
00:31:52 Very grateful indeed if you'd have them sent there.
00:31:56 And I shan't apologise for the tracks.
00:31:59 They're rather charming.
00:32:01 All things bright and beautiful.
00:32:04 - Thank you. - I'm just going down to the village...
00:32:07 to leave some instructions at the post office, Sir Henry.
00:32:10 - If you'll excuse me, I'm a little busy. - Of course.
00:32:13 I'll give you a lift on the tricycle, but I want to chat with Sir Henry.
00:32:17 - Goodbye. - Goodbye.
00:32:19 I'm afraid you'll be expected to open the sales for Henry, yes...
00:32:23 and judge the prettiest mother and baby.
00:32:26 Do you know, dear old Sir Charles, he loved doing that.
00:32:29 Yes, he did, he did.
00:32:31 I remember one occasion when one of the babies...
00:32:35 went, "Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear."

00:32:56 (BIRDS CHIRPING)
00:33:24 Don't move! Stay where you are!
00:33:27 I said not to move, Sir.
00:33:30 You've no call to use that kind of trap. It's unnecessarily cruel.
00:33:39 A man's got to live, Sir.
00:33:41 Are there ways of killing animals without torturing them?
00:33:44 Why don't you use a gun?
00:33:47 Oh. I'm sorry.
00:33:51 Besides, cartridges cost money. Some of us haven't got much of that to spend.
00:33:55 It's a poor life on the moors, Sir Henry.
00:33:58 I'm afraid you've made a mistake. My name is Watson.
00:34:01 Though I am staying at Baskerville Hall.
00:34:03 - With Sir Henry? - Yes.
00:34:05 When you see the new squire, tell him his new neighbour would like to meet him.
00:34:09 I farm the lower parches near the hall. I've done for nearly a year.
00:34:12 - Oh. - Poor land it is, too.
00:34:14 - What name is it? - Stapleton.
00:34:17 Very well, I'll tell Sir Henry.
00:34:19 I wonder, could you tell me how to get to Baskerville Hall?
00:34:23 I seem to have lost my way.
00:34:25 You're bare right at the fork.
00:34:28 - Oh. Thank you. - Mr Watson.
00:34:31 Don't step off the track or you'll find yourself in Grippen Mire.
00:34:34 Once in there, you'll never get out.
00:34:37 Mm. Thank you.
00:34:40 (Whistling)
00:34:43 Good morning.
00:35:09 I wonder, could you tell me, am I on the right path to Baskerville Hall?
00:35:14 The track seems to end here.
00:35:17 Hey! Watch out! The mire!
00:35:37 Hey! Hey, I say!
00:35:40 Hey!
00:35:44 Cecile, come back!
00:35:54 Hold on!
00:35:59 Cecile! Cecile!
00:36:06 (Grunting)
00:36:09 Wait, my girl. I'll teach you to come when you're called.
00:36:30 Now get the cart down and be here as you can. Be quick about it.
00:36:33 What'll you do as you're told, girl?
00:36:36 I told you to watch out.
00:36:40 - Who is that girl? - My daughter.
00:36:43 The moor's no place for a girl.
00:36:46 - What was she frightened of? - There's a convict escaped from the prison.
00:36:50 I'll help you to the cart. Watch where I step.
00:36:54 (Hooves clopping)
00:36:57 Stanko, now that you're here, would you like to come in and see Sir Henry?
00:37:13 - It's as good a time as any. - Oh.
00:37:17 And how about Miss Stapleton? Would she like to come in too?
00:37:20 She'll wait where she is.
00:37:23 Oh, well. Well, then. Good morning, Miss Stapleton.
00:37:26 Hello. If you're looking for the new owner, I'm afraid you won't find him at home.
00:37:43 Go away.
00:37:46 I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Henry Baskerville.
00:37:49 - May I ask... - Please, go away.
00:37:52 My father will be out in a moment.
00:37:56 So your father's gone into the hall, has he? Let's join him.
00:37:59 No, don't.
00:38:01 Here. You wait a minute.
00:38:04 (Groans)
00:38:11 - Leave me alone. - Just a minute. Calm down.
00:38:18 Now, why did you run away?
00:38:21 Well, come on, why did you run away? I've done nothing to frighten you.
00:38:24 - My father. - What about your father?
00:38:27 - He would have seen us. - Well, what of it?
00:38:30 Now, would you let me go?
00:38:39 Cecile!
00:38:43 (Birds chirping)
00:38:46 Where have you been?
00:38:51 Come on, girl, where have you been?
00:38:54 - Good morning. - Morning.
00:38:57 - Sir Henry Baskerville, isn't it? - Yes.
00:39:00 I'll be looking forward to meeting you, sir. My name's Stapleton. Welcome to Dartmoor.
00:39:03 - You're very kind. - I run the home farm.
00:39:06 You'll be very welcome whenever you're that way.
00:39:09 Well, we must be getting on our way, mustn't we, Cecile?
00:39:12 - Good day to you, sir. - Good day, Mr Stapleton.
00:39:16 Come on. Come on!
00:39:19 (Crying)

00:40:19 (Clattering)
00:40:25 (Clattering)
00:40:28 Watson, here.
00:40:46 Move the candle about, quickly.
00:40:51 I'll swear I saw a light out there in the mall as soon as you picked up the candle.
00:40:54 There's someone out there, signalling to the house. Come on.
00:41:00 Whatever happens to Henry, you must stay with me.
00:41:16 (Hooves clopping)
00:41:19 We're still in line with the light.
00:41:33 Yes, but we're not near enough yet.
00:41:35 Keep close to me. Don't go off to the left or you'll be in Grimpen Mire.
00:41:39 Right. Come on.
00:41:42 Come out! We're armed!
00:41:50 They've gone.
00:41:56 Whoever they are, they must have heard us.
00:41:59 (Hooves clopping)
00:42:02 (Hooves clopping)
00:42:05 Whoever they are, they must have heard us.
00:42:08 Watson!
00:42:13 Come on! There's still a chance.
00:42:16 Now, now, quiet. Listen. He's down there somewhere.
00:42:34 (Hooves clopping)
00:42:37 What was that, Watson? What was that?
00:42:44 (Groaning)
00:42:50 It's my heart.
00:42:55 Drink some of this.
00:42:59 (Groaning)
00:43:02 Will you be able to get back if I help you?
00:43:07 I'll try.
00:43:11 Come on, then.
00:43:14 That is for me to decide, Sir Henry.
00:43:23 I suggest that you have a little rest. Good night.
00:43:26 Good night.
00:43:29 I really don't know why he bothered to send for me, Watson.
00:43:35 After all, he has a doctor here who's just as capable as I am.
00:43:38 Does your diagnosis confirm mine?
00:43:42 He has a similar heart condition to his uncle, agreed. Hereditary, no doubt.
00:43:45 But nowhere near so far advanced.
00:43:49 All the same, I'd like to leave him in your charge until I get back.
00:43:53 If you insist. Anyway, my night's sleep is ruined.
00:43:56 But I really can't see that it's necessary.
00:44:00 Nevertheless, I'd appreciate it if you would stay. It's essential that I go back to the moor.
00:44:03 All right. I'll stay.
00:44:07 (Footsteps)
00:44:11 (Footsteps)
00:44:14 (Dog whimpers)
00:44:18 (Footsteps)
00:44:21 (Footsteps)
00:44:24 (Footsteps)
00:44:49 (Dog whimpers)
00:44:52 (Door opens)
00:45:03 Why have you left Sir Henry alone?
00:45:19 Holmes.
00:45:22 I repeat, why have you left Sir Henry alone?
00:45:25 - Dr. Mortimer is with him. - Anyone else?
00:45:28 Yes, the Barrowmores.
00:45:31 Very well, then. Forgive me if my dramatic entrance startled you.
00:45:34 Well, it's good to see you again, Watson. It's been rather lonely up here.
00:45:38 Well, this is fantastic. How long have you been in Devon?
00:45:41 Exactly four hours and 52 minutes less than you. I caught the next train down after yours.
00:45:45 - But your telegram... - Ah! I wrote that before I left town and arranged to have it delivered later.
00:45:50 So it was you I saw.
00:45:53 Well, I think you might have let me know what you intended to do, Holmes.
00:45:56 I'm sorry, Watson, but I didn't want it known I was here. Besides, you would have tried to prevent me.
00:46:00 You will understand, I had to find Selden.
00:46:03 - Selden, the convict? That was madness. - No doubt.
00:46:06 But effectual.
00:46:08 - But how did you know he was on the moor? - I read about it in the newspapers, Watson.
00:46:11 The escape was well reported. I'm surprised you didn't notice it.
00:46:15 He told me all he had seen since he's been hiding.
00:46:18 Well, what had he seen? What did he tell you?
00:46:21 There is more evil around us here than I have ever encountered before.
00:46:25 Well, I still don't see...
00:46:29 (Siren wailing)
00:46:32 (Dramatic music)
00:46:37 Mortimer's gone. His pony cart's not there.
00:46:52 - You told him to stay, was that Henry? - Well, indeed I did.
00:46:55 (Tires screeching)
00:46:59 (Tires screeching)
00:47:02 Which way? For heaven's sake, which way?
00:47:13 (Screaming)
00:47:17 Too late.
00:47:26 We're too late, Sir Henry.
00:47:29 - Watch out, Holmes. - It's treacherous here.
00:47:32 We must go back and get help, then come back for the body.
00:47:35 I'm to blame for this. I shall never forgive myself.
00:47:40 I warned him. What could have possessed him to come out alone on the moor?
00:47:44 The last of the Baskervilles.
00:47:48 His life was in our hands.
00:47:52 (Birds chirping)
00:47:55 I shall not rest until I destroy the thing that killed him.
00:48:05 (Knocking)
00:48:16 (Footsteps)
00:48:19 - You're Barrymore, I take it? - Yes, Sir.
00:48:28 Barrymore, I want you to get a letter, some rope and lanterns...
00:48:33 and have them loaded on the cart within five minutes.
00:48:36 - Do you understand? - Yes, Sir.
00:48:38 - Good. Watson, where's your room? - This way. I'll show you.
00:48:41 And have those attached, too, will you?
00:48:44 They're good, Sir.
00:48:47 I'll trouble you for a pair of dry-stout boots and a heavy coat before we go out again.
00:48:50 Yes, of course.
00:48:52 You know, Holmes, I can't help feeling that if I hadn't gone out and left Sir Henry alone...
00:48:56 We're to avenge his death, not mourn over it.
00:48:59 No.
00:49:02 No.
00:49:07 (Footsteps)
00:49:10 (Hooves thud)
00:49:15 (Hooves thud)
00:49:20 (Hooves thud)
00:49:34 (Hooves thud)
00:49:37 Who's there?
00:49:40 Holmes, for heaven's sake, when did you get here?
00:49:43 I am glad to see you again.
00:49:46 I am more than glad to see you, Sir Henry.
00:49:49 Who was it, Holmes?
00:49:52 Who was the poor devil that died instead of me?
00:49:55 Well, if my deductions are correct, it was the convict Selden.
00:49:58 The fellow was a murderer, I know, but he shouldn't have died in such a fashion.
00:50:01 Yes, but why him? The curse is only on the Baskervilles.
00:50:04 There's no one safe from the Hound.
00:50:06 Selden had on the suit of clothes you were wearing when we first met in London.
00:50:09 How did he get them?
00:50:11 He must have broken in and stolen them, I suppose.
00:50:13 Possibly, but unlikely.
00:50:15 Sir Henry, why did Dr Mortimer leave so suddenly tonight?
00:50:18 He told me that he'd stay until I got back.
00:50:21 Stupid row, really.
00:50:23 He kept on about my uncle's death and the curse on the family.
00:50:26 Well, I asked him if he was trying to frighten me...
00:50:29 ...and I told him to mind his own business.
00:50:31 I'd like a few words with Dr Mortimer sometime.
00:50:34 Excuse me, Sir Henry. Is there anything else you'll be requiring?
00:50:37 No, thank you, Barrymore, not as far as I'm concerned.
00:50:39 - Have you prepared a room for Mr Holmes? - Yes, sir.
00:50:42 Will you still be needing the ladder and rope you asked for tonight, sir?
00:50:45 No. Not now.
00:50:48 But I shall want them and your help first thing in the morning.
00:50:50 - Very good, sir. - Oh, Barrymore.
00:50:52 - Sir? - That room at the end of the corridor upstairs...
00:50:55 ...has it been used lately?
00:50:59 - Not for some time, sir. - I see.
00:51:02 I think you'll find a candle burning near the window in that room.
00:51:05 Would you kindly extinguish it?
00:51:07 It's serving no useful purpose.
00:51:10 - Very good, sir. - Thank you.
00:51:13 And now, with your permission, to bed.
00:51:19 Yes. Yes, we could all do with a good night's sleep.
00:51:26 (SIGHS)
00:51:28 And this, I perceive, is Sir Hugo Baskerville...
00:51:35 ...the man who started all the trouble.
00:51:37 Yes, it is. How the devil did you know?
00:51:39 Oh, a family like this, there are certain features that are unmistakable.
00:51:43 What happened to the picture that hung here?
00:51:45 That one? Nobody knows. It disappeared some time ago.
00:51:48 Oh, yes. Yes, of course, it had to.
00:51:51 Stupid old man.
00:51:53 Yes, well, good night.
00:51:56 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:51:58 Well, that's strange. There's nothing there.
00:52:05 I could have sworn that that was the spot.
00:52:08 Well, it must be more over this way.
00:52:10 Know what? You were right.
00:52:12 This was the place. Look at this.
00:52:15 Here's another trace.
00:52:19 And another.
00:52:23 You can see where they're leading to.
00:52:25 (SIREN WAILS)
00:52:27 Barrymore! Sir?
00:52:30 Tell Perkins to bring the cart up to the ruins as near as he can.
00:52:33 Then you follow us. Yes, sir.
00:52:35 We won't find the body down here.

00:53:14 (SIGHS)
00:53:16 My heavens, what's been going on here, Holmes?
00:53:22 The Baskerville crest engraved on the hilt.
00:53:27 Mr. Holmes!
00:53:29 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:53:31 As I thought, seldom.
00:53:40 This body's been mutilated.
00:53:43 Some revolting sacrificial rite has been performed.
00:53:47 What depths a human being can sink to.
00:53:52 What human being could have done this?
00:53:54 That is precisely what I intend to find out.
00:53:59 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:54:05 (BIRDS CHIRPING)
00:54:07 You rang for me, sir? I did, Mrs. Bademont. Sit down, please.
00:54:14 No, thank you, sir. I prefer to stand. As you wish.
00:54:17 I want to ask you and your husband a few questions, if you don't mind.
00:54:21 How long have you been married? Married?
00:54:24 Must be almost five years now, isn't it?
00:54:26 Is that right, Miss Selden?
00:54:28 Yes, sir. We got married about...
00:54:30 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:54:32 Please, sit down.
00:54:36 Your name was Selden before you married, wasn't it?
00:54:41 And the convict who escaped was your brother?
00:54:43 How did you know?
00:54:45 Your brother told me.
00:54:47 He's dead, sir, isn't he?
00:54:49 Yes, I'm afraid he is.
00:54:51 How did it happen?
00:54:53 You gave Selden some of Sir Henry's clothes, didn't you?
00:54:56 Well, I... Someone or something.
00:54:59 Who stole your brother for Sir Henry?
00:55:01 You mustn't blame my husband, sir. I gave him the clothes.
00:55:04 Sir Henry said I might take them for the village sale.
00:55:07 But why should they have them when my brother was out on the moor, cold and hungry?
00:55:12 (SOBBING)
00:55:14 Oh, I... I know he was bad, sir, but he was ill, really.
00:55:20 And he was my brother.
00:55:22 You can't leave someone you love out there, cold and starving.
00:55:27 I understand.
00:55:29 It might help you to know he also told me he would never let them recapture him alive.
00:55:34 Come along, my dear.
00:55:40 Poor woman.
00:55:47 I suppose when Sir Henry and I arrived here at the hall,
00:55:50 she found it difficult to get food to her brother.
00:55:53 Yes, they had to arrange a signal with a candle at the window to show when the coast was clear.
00:55:57 Couldn't... Couldn't they be charged with helping an escaped convict?
00:56:02 They could, but they won't. I've satisfied the local police.
00:56:06 Hmm.
00:56:08 Well, what's the next move?
00:56:10 All things bright and beautiful or creatures great and small.
00:56:14 I wonder if that includes tarantulas.
00:56:17 Tarantulas?
00:56:19 But, Harrens...
00:56:22 (Clicking)
00:56:24 A gentleman to see you, my lord.
00:56:29 Oh, good, good, and just in time.
00:56:32 I'm still having trouble with it, you know.
00:56:35 Will you come and have a look at it?
00:56:37 Of course, I'm not an engineering man, but it seems to me that this eccentric is malaligned.
00:56:42 Or perhaps if this can were bathed to another foul,
00:56:46 so it might make all the difference, don't you think?
00:56:49 - What's that on the shim? - Graphite grease.
00:56:52 What? Oh, of course.
00:56:55 Well, I have... I have got some.
00:56:57 Do you know, I never poured a bit.
00:56:59 - Allow me. - Oh, thank you.
00:57:01 Here, sit here.
00:57:07 - Here. - Thank you.
00:57:09 There you are. You'll want that.
00:57:11 Here. Now... Now, let's see.
00:57:14 Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
00:57:17 That's done the trick, yeah.
00:57:19 I wish Mrs. Goodlip would leave those windows alone all the month.
00:57:23 Now, take a glass of sherry before you go.
00:57:26 - Bishop Franklin, I... - Oh, nonsense.
00:57:28 A little wine for your stomach's sake.
00:57:30 That's in the Bible.
00:57:32 I think you'll like this. Now, what do I owe you for your trouble?
00:57:35 And your affair from Exeter, of course.
00:57:37 My lord, I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
00:57:40 Oh, no. Only somebody from Warburton and Crawley could have solved that problem.
00:57:44 Nevertheless, I am not from Warburton and Crawley.
00:57:47 - What? - My name is Sherlock Holmes.
00:57:49 I am staying with Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:57:51 Oh, allow me to shake the hand of the country's greatest detective.
00:57:55 I say, that case of the Burmansea forgery, that was a first-class piece of work.
00:57:59 Thank you. And I am pleased to shake the hand of the country's most distinguished entomologist.
00:58:03 You've heard of me? Oh, how flattering.
00:58:06 I know the directors of the Regent's Park Zoo regard you as the highest living authority on the study of rare spiders.
00:58:12 - Uh, spiders? - And it is about that very subject that I've come to see you.
00:58:17 - A species of the genus Therophosa. - Oh, tarantula.
00:58:21 Oh, dear me. Everybody's asking me about tarantulas these days.
00:58:26 I... uh, no, I... I'm afraid I can't help you on that subject.
00:58:31 How very disappointing.
00:58:34 - Because I found one. - Found one? Have you, by Jove?
00:58:38 - Dead, fortunately. - Oh, pity. Never mind.
00:58:43 Where did you find it? Somewhere about the village, or that?
00:58:46 - No, in London. - Oh, up there.
00:58:49 Nevertheless, it... it was the same spider that you lost.
00:58:52 Oh, impossible. Far too far away.
00:58:56 Are you suggesting that I've lost a spider?
00:59:00 I'm afraid I am. You have, haven't you?
00:59:03 You lost a spider sent to you from the London Zoo about five days ago.
00:59:07 - Yeah. Are you interested in butterflies? - My Lord, I must insist.
00:59:12 Will it help if I tell you I am fighting evil, fighting it as surely as you do?
00:59:17 Oh, yes, very well. I... I did lose a tarantula.
00:59:22 I missed it last Thursday. I've been worried out of my life ever since.
00:59:26 - They're dangerous, you know. - So I understand.
00:59:28 But you needn't worry any longer. The spider is dead.
00:59:31 Now, it is important that you answer this question correctly.
00:59:34 What visitors did you have on the day you missed the tarantula?
00:59:37 Visitors? Well, that's difficult, because Thursday's my comb day.
00:59:43 I mean, a lot of people like to look in for a sherry and a chat.
00:59:47 Let me see. There was old Mrs Smythe. Poor woman. Drinks.
00:59:51 Oh, yes. Dr Mortimer, before lunch.
00:59:55 Oh, dear old Mortimer, how he talks.
00:59:58 Uh, the Stapletons to tea.
01:00:01 Oh, yes, the man about the woodworm in the belfry.
01:00:05 Yeah, fascinating little creatures, but the church is full of them, you know.
01:00:09 I'm extremely sorry to hear that. And the man's name?
01:00:12 - Smith, I think. - And no one else?
01:00:14 - Last Thursday? - No.
01:00:16 Thank you, my Lord Bishop. That is all I wish to know.
01:00:19 It has been most kind of you and most helpful.
01:00:21 And thank you for helping me with my telescope.
01:00:24 - Not at all. - Oh, remarkable, Inspector.
01:00:27 Surprising what you can see through a good telescope.
01:00:31 Now, what's going on in the big world, eh?
01:00:35 Ah, there's Sir Henry. Where's he off to?
01:00:39 Oh, give me that. This is very interesting.
01:00:43 Have a look. Come on, come here. Come and have a look.
01:00:53 Well, he's gone.
01:00:57 Anybody home?
01:01:15 Mr. Stapleton?
01:01:20 Why did you come here?
01:01:22 I'm sorry. You must think me very rude, but I did knock.
01:01:26 - I've come to see your father. - He's not here. He's gone to Baskerville Hall.
01:01:30 Has he? May I ask why?
01:01:33 To invite you and your friends to dinner tonight.
01:01:36 That's very kind of him.
01:01:38 - I'm afraid I can't. - Why not?
01:01:41 I'm afraid I can't.
01:01:43 - I'm afraid I can't. - Why not?
01:01:45 I'm afraid I can't.
01:01:47 That's very kind of him.
01:01:50 Would you like some cider?
01:01:53 Thank you very much. I would.
01:01:56 What time are we expected to arrive?
01:02:04 You mean you will come?
01:02:06 I'm looking forward to it.
01:02:09 It won't be like Baskerville Hall.
01:02:13 I haven't spent all my life at Baskerville Hall, Cecile.
01:02:17 I like your home.
01:02:19 This is not my home.
01:02:21 My home is in Spain.
01:02:24 You were looking at the picture of my parents.
01:02:28 My mother was a fine woman.
01:02:31 A fine Spanish woman.
01:02:34 She would hear nothing of living in England.
01:02:37 She was born in Spain, and there she would die, she said.
01:02:40 And she did die.
01:02:42 We came here to England.
01:02:45 My father spent all the money we had saved
01:02:48 to come back to England to become a gentleman farmer in his own country.
01:02:53 But the land he bought is no good.
01:02:56 The man is gone.
01:02:58 We have a saying at home.
01:03:01 "Yerba mala nunca muere."
01:03:04 "Weeds are not killed by the frost."
01:03:08 We still live.
01:03:11 Have you ever thought of going back?
01:03:13 I've thought of nothing else.
01:03:15 But my father is too proud to admit his beaten.
01:03:18 Proud of this.
01:03:21 And so we are left with the moor and the mist.
01:03:26 You must be very lonely.
01:03:28 Yes, I am very lonely.
01:03:31 When you are poor, no one wants to know you.
01:03:35 I want to know you, Cecile.
01:03:38 Why did you run away from me yesterday when we had hardly met?
01:03:45 Why did you kiss me, Cecile?
01:03:49 Why?
01:03:52 I don't know.
01:03:55 - Tell me. - I don't know. I don't know.
01:04:00 I don't know.
01:04:03 Will you meet me tonight at the hall?
01:04:22 We can walk back across the moor.
01:04:25 If you want me to.
01:04:29 I'll be waiting for you.
01:04:32 Our paths seem to have crossed this morning, Sir Henry.
01:04:37 I suppose you've come to talk about the farm.
01:04:42 You have cider? Good. Cecile, fetch another tankard for me.
01:04:46 Quickly, about a girl. Do sit down, Sir Henry.
01:04:49 Thank you.
01:04:51 I was wondering whether you and your guests at the hall...
01:04:54 would care to join us for a meal here tonight.
01:04:56 - It's a civil affair, of course. - Yes, Sir, your daughters already tell me.
01:05:00 I'd be very pleased to. And so, I think, will Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson.
01:05:04 Good. It'll be a change for us to have visitors.
01:05:07 Your health, Sir.
01:05:13 But how can it be so certain that somebody took one of the bishop's spiders...
01:05:23 and deliberately placed it in Sir Henry's room?
01:05:26 That it wasn't in the luggage he brought from South Africa?
01:05:28 Elementally, my dear Watson, there are no tarantulas in South Africa.
01:05:32 Oh. Well, whoever placed it there didn't know that.
01:05:36 Precisely.
01:05:38 But he did know when and where Sir Henry was arriving and where he'd be staying.
01:05:42 He also knew a great deal about the Baskerville family.
01:05:45 A bite from a tarantula is not necessarily deadly to a healthy man...
01:05:49 but to a man with a weak heart.
01:05:52 That indicates that it's somebody from this part of the country.
01:05:54 Why not? There's an excellent train service to and from London.
01:05:58 And as Sir Charles died on Dartmoor only a month ago...
01:06:01 it would arouse less suspicion if Sir Henry died in London.
01:06:03 Sir Charles? I'd almost forgotten about him.
01:06:06 It's a good thing I remembered, wasn't it?
01:06:08 Well, all right.
01:06:10 But the person who benefited most from Sir Charles' will was Sir Henry.
01:06:13 You're not going to suggest that he killed his uncle, are you?
01:06:16 A million pounds is a great temptation.
01:06:18 In a case such as this, everyone is suspect, even Sir Henry.
01:06:21 Dr Mortimer was the only one who knew where Sir Henry would be staying in London...
01:06:25 - and when he was arriving. - Oh, no.
01:06:28 The London Times would have published it.
01:06:30 What about the legend of the Hound of Hell?
01:06:33 Remember, we've both seen something of its horror.
01:06:35 What? You inspire me.
01:06:38 Let me see your map quickly.
01:06:40 "Selden swore he heard his cries coming from the buried depths of the earth."
01:06:44 The Hound of Hell. Let me see.
01:06:47 Really, I must pull myself together.
01:06:49 I should have noticed this long ago.
01:06:51 Ah, Holmes. Barrymore told me you'd arrived.
01:07:00 About time, too, if I may say so...
01:07:03 considering what happened to that convict fellow last night.
01:07:06 A development I deeply regret, Dr Mortimer.
01:07:08 Well, I don't.
01:07:10 A man like that deserves all he gets.
01:07:12 In case you're both wondering why I'm here...
01:07:16 I've just come over to start looking through the family estate.
01:07:19 I think I'm wasting my time, if you ask me.
01:07:22 You know, really, Holmes...
01:07:24 I find it quite impossible to get on with Sir Henry.
01:07:27 I understand you had a disagreement with him last night.
01:07:30 Disagreement? The fellow was downright rude, if that's what you mean.
01:07:33 Hardly a good enough excuse to leave someone alone when you know him to be in danger.
01:07:37 You did tell me that you'd stay with Sir Henry until I got back.
01:07:40 What if I did? I don't see why I should be insulted by the man I'm trying to protect.
01:07:44 After all, I only mentioned the subject of the legend.
01:07:47 Now, you are very fond of doing that, Dr Mortimer. Why?
01:07:50 You were the first to discover the existence of the legend, weren't you?
01:07:53 Mr Holmes...
01:07:55 when I engaged you, I looked to you to protect Sir Henry's interests.
01:07:59 I'm beginning to see for the first time in my life I was wrong in my judgment.
01:08:03 If you care to relinquish the case...
01:08:06 - I never relinquish a case! - Mr Holmes!
01:08:08 Oh, but please, please, don't let us fall out at this stage.
01:08:11 I need your help, unfortunately.
01:08:14 You, uh...
01:08:16 You know a great deal about the geography and the history of this district, I believe.
01:08:20 I am considered something of an authoritative.
01:08:22 There is an old tin mine marked here on the map. Does it still exist?
01:08:27 I believe so. What of it?
01:08:30 It's been derelict for years.
01:08:32 Yes, I rather fear this map of the out of date.
01:08:34 Could you show me the way to the entrance?
01:08:36 What on earth for?
01:08:40 Could you?
01:08:42 I'm afraid not.
01:08:44 I haven't been near there for years.
01:08:46 Perhaps Stapleton can help you.
01:08:48 It lies under his ground.
01:08:50 If he agreed to show me, would you be prepared to come with us?
01:08:53 I suggest that you stay away from the mine, Mr Holmes.
01:08:57 It hasn't been in use for a long time and the shafting is in a dangerous condition.
01:09:01 And how do you know that if you haven't been near there for years?
01:09:04 Hmm?
01:09:05 Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
01:09:07 Any kind of tunneling is dangerous if it isn't in a proper state of repair.
01:09:10 All the same, I feel I must take a look at it.
01:09:12 Will you come with me? As an archaeologist, your help will be invaluable.
01:09:16 I suppose if you're going to make an issue of it, I shall have to come.
01:09:19 Good. Good man.
01:09:21 What do you want me to do?
01:09:23 Identify anything I may find. Strange things are to be found on the moor.
01:09:26 Like this, for instance.
01:09:34 Did you find that?
01:09:36 Interesting, isn't it?
01:09:38 Could you tell me how old it is?
01:09:40 Well, I'm not sure.
01:09:42 1,700, I imagine.
01:09:44 1,740, to be exact. And the blood, how old is that?
01:09:47 I couldn't tell.
01:09:48 Then I will tell you. It is less than ten hours old.
01:09:51 Could you tell me anything else about the, uh, the weapon?
01:09:55 No?
01:09:57 Oh, come, come. With your knowledge of the legend, I made certain you would have known.
01:10:01 This is the dagger Sir Hugo Baskerville used to murder the farm girl in the abbey.
01:10:05 And more recently, it has been used for some diabolical ceremony.
01:10:09 All right, Watson. We're all down quite safely.
01:10:21 Good. I'll be waiting for you here.
01:10:25 I don't expect we shall be very long.
01:10:27 It would be to follow close behind me for the moment.

01:10:57 You'll have to watch your step. It's very slippery down here.
01:11:00 The water seeps through from the mire.
01:11:02 (♪♪♪)
01:11:05 Don't touch any of the props, whatever you do.
01:11:07 You'll have the whole roof down on us.
01:11:10 We should never have come down here. It's far too dangerous.
01:11:13 What do you expect to find, Mr. Holmes?
01:11:16 What is one likely to find under the ground?
01:11:19 Bones, perhaps?

01:11:51 Sir, here you are.
01:11:54 Thank you.

01:13:28 Leave the lanterns there, Mr. Stapleton.
01:13:31 (sighs)
01:13:33 (sighs)
01:13:35 We must go back to the village and get some help.
01:13:40 I'm afraid it won't do no good, sir.
01:13:42 Must be a ton of rock blocking that shaft there.
01:13:45 Well, we must try.
01:13:47 You must resign yourself to the fact that there's not the slightest hope that he's still alive.
01:13:51 Don't you agree, Stapleton?
01:13:53 You know as much about it as I do.
01:13:55 It's over two hours since the roof fell.
01:13:57 You'll be down there yourself if we haven't heard a sound.
01:13:59 Not likely to with all that rock in front of us.
01:14:01 That don't mean to say he's not alive, though.
01:14:03 There's plenty of air in that old mine.
01:14:05 Comes in from them ventilating shafts, sir.
01:14:07 Well, couldn't we get down one of them and find him that way?
01:14:10 I wouldn't like to say, sir.
01:14:11 I doubt there's a man in the village who knows them entrances nowadays.
01:14:14 Well, we must try to find one.
01:14:15 Mr. Stapleton, will you lead us back to the path immediately, please?
01:14:19 (BIRDS CHIRPING)
01:14:21 I did warn him not to go.
01:14:29 You were there. You heard me, didn't you, Watson?
01:14:31 There's still a chance.
01:14:32 A very good chance.
01:14:34 I've been sitting here for the last ten minutes waiting for you.
01:14:36 Holmes!
01:14:38 Thank heaven you're safe.
01:14:41 How did you get out? This is wonderful!
01:14:43 Most gratifying.
01:14:45 Now, when the general applause has died down,
01:14:47 I wonder if we could get back to the hall.
01:14:49 I've hurt my leg, I'm cold and I'm hungry.
01:14:52 Will you please stop behaving like a maiden aunt once and for all?
01:14:57 If I hadn't known there were a number of entrances to the mine,
01:14:59 I should never have gone down the confounded place.
01:15:01 Yes, but for a wretched old beef bone.
01:15:03 It is not a wretched old beef bone, my boy.
01:15:05 That's just the point.
01:15:06 It's a relatively new one.
01:15:07 But I...
01:15:08 No buts.
01:15:09 Would you mind, please, passing me my tobacco?
01:15:11 What? Where is it?
01:15:13 You'll find it in the top right-hand drawer on an opened tin.
01:15:17 You must have put it somewhere else.
01:15:22 The right-hand top drawer.
01:15:24 I'm looking in the right-hand top drawer.
01:15:26 Isn't it there?
01:15:27 I've just told you it isn't there.
01:15:29 Hmm, it is.
01:15:31 Just a minute.
01:15:32 I know I put it there this morning.
01:15:34 Watson, the bottom drawer where I put the dagger.
01:15:37 Is it still locked?
01:15:38 No.
01:15:41 Holmes, the lock's been forked.
01:15:43 The dagger's not there.
01:15:46 Watson.
01:15:49 Well, how's the leg feeling now?
01:15:52 Not very good.
01:15:54 I'm sorry to hear that.
01:15:56 I wasn't able to tell you before,
01:15:58 but Stapleton has asked the three of us over for a meal tonight.
01:16:00 Oh, has he?
01:16:01 Yes, I thought it was a very nice gesture.
01:16:04 Still, I don't suppose you'll feel like going with your leg the way it is.
01:16:08 No, I don't.
01:16:09 They'll be very disappointed.
01:16:11 And Cecile is waiting for me downstairs.
01:16:14 Of course I wouldn't dream of going without you.
01:16:18 My dear Sir Henry, if you'd really wanted us to come with you,
01:16:21 you'd have told us about the invitation much sooner than this.
01:16:24 I beg your pardon?
01:16:25 You'd better be off.
01:16:26 You mustn't be late for your peasant friends.
01:16:29 I don't like that, Holmes.
01:16:30 I don't like the people you're mixing with.
01:16:33 I should have thought in your new position you would have cultivated worthier friends.
01:16:36 I hope you enjoy their rabbit pie.
01:16:39 Mr. Holmes, I appreciate the fact that you are here to help me.
01:16:47 Nevertheless, I would remind you that you are also a guest in my house.
01:16:51 Good night.
01:16:54 Good night.
01:16:55 Well, I do think you might...
01:17:02 Watson, will you stop talking nonsense?
01:17:04 You know my methods.
01:17:06 Couldn't you see I was being purposely rude?
01:17:08 I wanted him to go without us.
01:17:09 The dagger's gone.
01:17:10 Don't you realize what that means?
01:17:12 Sir Henry is to die tonight.
01:17:15 (SIREN WAILING)
01:17:17 You sure that leg of yours is all right?
01:17:36 It's got to be.
01:17:37 If we're to break the curse he laid on the Baskervilles...
01:17:39 Holmes.
01:17:40 Yes?
01:17:41 You learned something from that portrait that I was never able to see.
01:17:44 The hands, Watson.
01:17:45 Why do you think this painting was stolen?
01:17:47 Because the artist revealed both hands.
01:17:50 Barrymore's confirmed what I suspected.
01:17:52 The fingers of Sir Hugo's right hand were welded.
01:17:55 Stapleton.
01:17:56 Exactly. Stapleton.
01:17:58 The legitimate descendant of Sir Hugo, next in line to the Baskerville fortune.

01:20:35 You thought it was going to be easy, didn't you?
01:20:37 Didn't you?
01:20:39 You won't be the first of your family who thought that.
01:20:42 And you won't be the first to die because of it.
01:20:45 Remember the legend?
01:20:47 Sir Hugo died here.
01:20:50 His throat was torn out because of a girl.
01:20:54 And Sir Charles, your dear uncle, he died here, didn't he?
01:20:58 Died because he wanted me, like you.
01:21:01 Died because he wanted a woman enough to bring me here alone at night.
01:21:06 In spite of the hand of the Baskerville.
01:21:09 He died screaming.
01:21:12 I know. I watched him.
01:21:15 And now you are here, alone, at night.
01:21:20 You don't understand, do you?
01:21:22 Then let me explain.
01:21:24 I, too, am a Baskerville, descended from Sir Hugo.
01:21:27 Descended from those who died in poverty while you scum ruled them all.
01:21:32 We waited and prayed for this moment, my father and I.
01:21:37 Now our time has come, and yours.
01:21:41 The curse of the Hound is on you.
01:21:44 [Howling]
01:21:48 [Howling]
01:21:51 [Howling]
01:22:06 [Howling]
01:22:34 [Howling]
01:22:37 [Howling]
01:23:02 No, Watson, she won't get far.
01:23:04 Attend to Sir Henry.
01:23:07 All right. All right, Sir Henry.
01:23:13 The Hound is dead, and you must see it.
01:23:16 No, I... I...
01:23:19 It is best that you should.
01:23:30 There is nothing to fear now.
01:23:33 There's a passage leading from the mine to this place.
01:23:43 I discovered it after slavesmen tried to kill me down there.
01:23:47 They used this mask to make it look more terrifying.
01:23:55 It was starved for weeks, kept down the mine till the time was right, then given the scent.
01:24:00 They had to have something of yours to give the Hound.
01:24:14 We'd better get Sir Henry back to Baskerville Hall, Holmes.
01:24:17 Have you got your cape? Will you get it for him?
01:24:20 [Gunshot]
01:24:23 [Siren]
01:24:30 [Siren]
01:24:38 So the curse has claimed its last victim.
01:24:44 Yes. No more will be heard at the Hound at the Baskerville.
01:24:49 [Siren]
01:24:52 I feel I have already suffered enough from my infamous ancestor.
01:24:57 And so...
01:24:58 And so I am sending you the missing portrait, which we found at Stapleton's Farm,
01:25:02 to add to your famous collection of souvenirs.
01:25:05 I hope you will accept it. Also the cheque, which I enclosed for...
01:25:09 Mm-hmm. Very generous.
01:25:11 After tea, you must write to Sir Henry and tell him that I should be pleased to accept both his gifts.
01:25:17 Mm.
01:25:18 Tell me, Holmes, when did you first suspect the truth about this case?
01:25:24 The truth?
01:25:25 Yes, that the Hound was a real dog, not just a legendary myth.
01:25:30 Ah. When Sir Henry complained of a missing boot, that put me on the scent, as it were.
01:25:35 Ha. Well, as early as that. Ha. That's incredible.
01:25:40 Elementary, my dear Watson. Elementary.
01:25:43 Muffin?
01:25:46 Er... Cigar.
