06:20What's he doing here again?
06:22So John don't know it, but he's a double-dice count or he is.
06:26Careful, Beatrice. Miss Anne's in her studio.
06:29She will hear you.
06:30I know, I know, Dr. Jennings.
06:32Nothing makes me that furious.
06:34Mark my words, no good will come of it.
06:41Anne, I want to talk to you.
06:44How soon are you going to finish?
06:46I'm almost finished.
06:49I've done this room over ten times since Frank went away.
06:52Now I'm satisfied.
06:54He'll love it.
06:55Franklin's late.
06:57You know, you'll never be happy married to him.
07:00Oh, don't be silly.
07:01Anne, you know I love you.
07:04I always will.
07:05Oh, Beatrice, be careful.
07:07What am I for, barging in like that?
07:10Oh, Anne.
07:11I don't think Mark should be getting home.
07:14Oh, Mr. Guthrie.
07:16Oh, Mr. Guthrie.
07:17I never thought that I'd bring up a child with no more sense
07:20than to go messing about with paintbrushes and things.
07:24You old dolly.
07:26Beatrice never will grow up to appreciate our modern art.
07:29Art?
07:30Art, you call it?
07:32Ah, it gets me down, Willie.
07:34Be careful now.
07:38Heavens, it's getting late.
07:40I've got to put these in Frank's room.
07:42Sir, do you mind crawling back into your book, you handsome worm?
07:47A worm?
07:48Not a very elevating comparison.
07:50Don't be an idiot.
07:51You're my cousin, aren't you?
07:53And a very noble one, too.
08:13Joan!
08:37This moonstone is a very valuable gem.
08:40It should enable you to meet your debts.
08:42But it belongs to my daughter.
08:44Very well.
08:45She'll be glad to take it off her hands.
08:47Payment for the 5,000 you owe me and let's say for 3,000 more.
08:52If it's you assume that I would bargain with my daughter's property.
08:56Don't be absurd.
09:10Oh, I do hope it stops raining before Mr. Franklin gets here.
09:21Has Henry left for the station, Rosanna?
09:24Yes, Miss.
09:25Some time again.
09:26Won't it be good to see Mr. Franklin again?
09:28After a whole year.
09:30Of course it will.
09:31Is it really true, Miss, that he's bringing the famous Moonstone?
09:37Why, yes.
09:38I'll get the envy of every girl in England.
09:42It's terribly valuable, isn't it?
09:44Mr. Franklin's wife is worth at least 30,000 pounds.
09:4830,000 pounds?
09:50Isn't that wonderful?
09:5530,000 pounds.
10:02I give you 48 hours to pay up or out you go.
10:07But Van Locker.
10:08That's final.
10:09Yes, but you've given me no reasonable warning, no notice.
10:18Oh, I'm so sorry.
10:19I didn't know you had a reservation.
10:21It's all right, my dear.
10:22Come in, come in.
10:24I want to introduce an old friend of mine.
10:26Mr. Van Locker, my daughter, Anne.
10:29How do you do?
10:31It is a pleasure.
10:33Did I know you have such a delightful surprise down here, Sir John?
10:37I would have called sooner at my doctor's.
10:42There you are, Father.
10:43I told you you should allow me a trip to London at least twice a year.
10:46Just to show me off.
10:47I agree, absolutely.
10:49There you go again.
10:51Bewitching even my patients into flattery when...
10:55When, according to you, I have the face of a turnip and a temper of a witch.
10:59I know all his answers, Mr. Van Locker.
11:01That's his sense.
11:02Then I'll run along, my dear, and tell Bethridge that Mr. Van Locker will be with us for dinner.
11:07Oh, my goodness.
11:08Oh, we'll be delighted.
11:10Oh, dear, what a storm.
11:12Beth will have a terrible time getting from the station.
11:15I'll see you at dinner.
11:20I may tell you, Van Locker, that my daughter knows nothing but...
11:23Quiet!
11:28What a night for a man to be on the road to the Valley of the Gems.
11:35Isn't this Van Locker the notorious moneylender who figured in the theft of the Wallingford Pearls two years ago?
11:42Possibly.
11:43But you know Father.
11:44He's a darling.
11:46But if there's any trouble around within a thousand miles, he's sure to make friends with it.
11:59Oh, hello, Bethridge.
12:00Hi.
12:01Oh, the better for seeing you, sir.
12:03And you, Roseanne, how are you?
12:04Fine, thank you, sir.
12:05I'm lost.
12:06Frank!
12:07Say, give us this soup for the skin.
12:09Oh, no, I'm all right.
12:10Frank!
12:11Annie.
12:13Darling.
12:18Oh, it's so good to have you back.
12:20It's been a century, hasn't it?
12:22Two centuries.
12:23Three centuries.
12:24A dozen centuries.
12:28Hello, Godfrey.
12:29How are you?
12:30Splendid, thanks.
12:32Oh, well, Godfrey's down for a holiday.
12:34Oh?
12:35He came down from London yesterday.
12:43Mr.
12:47Wouldn't it be better if you'd be kind enough to direct me to my master's room?
12:54Henry, Mr. Franklin will occupy the same room.
13:07Why, you're nervous, darling.
13:09You're not ill, are you?
13:11Oh, it's nothing.
13:13I'm just worn out trying to sleep with one eye on this thing.
13:18There.
13:23Godfrey.
13:24Godfrey, look.
13:28I had it mounted for you in Bombay.
13:30Oh, it's the most exquisite thing I've ever seen.
13:33Good Lord, it's as big as an egg.
13:35Look, Godfrey.
13:37It changes color with the reflection of the light.
13:39Yes, it's called the moon star.
13:41You see, the luster grows and lessens with the waxing and waning of the moon.
13:44When there is a moon.
13:45Oh, it's beautiful.
13:47I'll never let it out of my sight.
13:49Oh, but, Ann dear, you must have it put away in a bank vault at once.
13:52Crazy to keep a thing like that lying around the house.
13:54A target for thieves.
13:56Oh, but darling, you're not serious.
13:58Oh, yes, I am.
13:59Aren't you being a little melodramatic, old man?
14:02Oh, you think so?
14:04Oh, Frank, you're imagining things.
14:06You're tired, worn out.
14:08I'll have to have Father look you over.
14:09Come along.
14:10Oh, no, Ann, I'm all right.
14:11Oh, I want you all to myself.
14:13I have a surprise for you.
14:14You'll excuse us, Godfrey?
14:16Young man, you're about to gaze upon a sight that will...
14:35Oh, Godfrey, will you turn on the wireless?
14:38Get Pallisaw, I guarantee.
14:40They have such splendid programs.
14:42I'm sorry, but the storm might interfere.
14:46Oh, I'm sorry.
14:48The stone is so beautiful.
14:50It almost hypnotizes me.
14:52It is beautiful, isn't it?
14:54May I?
14:55Certainly.
14:57The color on it is magnificent.
14:59I've never seen such perfection in any stone.
15:04Frankly, it's perfect.
15:09There you are, my dear.
15:10Thanks, Godfrey.
15:13Oh, what a night to go back to London.
15:16Oh, but you can't think of leaving in this storm.
15:19We'll be only too delighted to put you up.
15:21Oh, if it's not too much of an imposition.
15:23Oh, nonsense.
15:24Rosanna, we'll put Mr. Van Lucker
15:26in the room adjoining Mr. Godfrey's.
15:28Yes, miss.
15:29I tell you, young man, it's a lot of work.
15:31But you want the fun, the good fun.
15:34There at it again.
15:36Frank loves to see his father.
15:38What you need is sleep.
15:39Can't you hear the sound of sleeping?
15:41Plenty of sound sleep.
15:42And in your condition of nervous strain,
15:44nothing but medicine will help you do it.
15:47I'm sorry, sir.
15:48But a glass of ordinary hot milk in a good bed
15:50will turn the trick for me.
15:51Eh, what, what?
15:52Confound your impudence.
15:53You doubt my professional judgment.
15:55Oh, stop it, you old fussbudget.
15:57Frank's only teasing.
15:59Of course I am.
16:00Where's your sense of humor, Sir John?
16:02Eh, what, what?
16:03I see what it is.
16:04It's that cursed Moonstone.
16:06First it gets on this young turnip's nerves
16:08because he had to get it in his pocket,
16:10and now it gets on yours.
16:11Father, that's absurd.
16:12You're all worked up over the silly superstition
16:15that misfortune dogs the footsteps
16:17of anyone possessing the Moonstone.
16:19Why, it's ridiculous.
16:20Eh, what, what?
16:21Come on, sit down.
16:28Oh!
16:29The light!
16:31What sort of foolishness is this?
16:33Turn off the lights!
16:34It's a storm!
16:35What is that?
16:37Dog bricks!
16:38The candles!
16:39Ah!
16:40Oh, my child, there!
16:41Ann, darling, what is it?
16:42The Moonstone!
16:43Someone's taken it!
16:44What?
16:45Who could have found it?
16:46Someone get the light!
16:47Who's Ann?
16:48I've been to this!
16:50The candles are on the wire.
16:51Are you there?
16:52Right, I have it.
16:53Ann, are you all right?
16:54Oh, Frank!
16:55Father!
16:56My dear, what is it?
16:57Come and sit down over here, dear.
16:59My child, what is it?
17:00What is it?
17:02The light!
17:03My light!
17:06Are there any panels in the hall?
17:08Yes, sir.
17:09Yes, sir.
17:12Sweetheart, what happened?
17:13I don't know.
17:14They smashed it!
17:16When the lights went out!
17:18This is absurd!
17:19There was no one in the room, but...
17:20But a group of friends.
17:22There seems to be a thief among us.
17:25What sort of business is this?
17:27In my house!
17:28Oh, Father, please!
17:38Beatrice!
17:42Beatrice, what are you doing?
17:49Are you sure there's enough light now, miss, to keep a sharp eye on everyone?
17:53What are you talking about?
18:00The moonstone!
18:01I snatched it!
18:03Oh, you wouldn't have it now, miss.
18:05Lights don't go out for the sake of going out!
18:08Oh, now I've got my suspicions.
18:11You old doll!
18:12You've been really miserable again!
18:14Oh, she's an old idiot who got us into a mix-up like this!
18:17Get out! Get out! Get out!
18:19I've half a mind to...
18:20Just give me my notice.
18:22Well, after saying that for 40 years, I've a good mind to accommodate you.
18:26And the sooner the better! The sooner the better!
18:28No, no, no, no, no, no!
18:29You, you can't mean that!
18:31You can't mean that!
18:32Now will you be good?
18:33Oh, she's an impotent old wretch, but she knows I can't do without her compromise.
18:37And you know you'd love it.
18:39You see? Even better if...
18:46Sutter!
18:47Sir John, ma'am.
18:48My wife.
18:49She's ready.
18:50She is in great pain.
18:52Sir John can't go out on a night like this.
18:54I'll send Dr. James.
18:56But Sir John promised my wife.
18:58So I did, Sutter. So I did.
19:00And not for the world, but I did.
19:02Anyone else have the honor of introducing our next blacksmith to...
19:05But Father, you can't go out in this storm.
19:07No, what did you come for?
19:08I've come in the baker's cart.
19:10That's very good. Wait.
19:11It'll be the death of me.
19:13I fear to say Dr. Dennings knows just as much about helping the stock as you do.
19:17Shut up!
19:18Ezra!
19:19Father, you already have a cold.
19:21You really have to go, Sir John.
19:23Send me Rosanna.
19:25Come along, Ezra.
19:26Can't I go, Sir John? I'm sure...
19:27No, no, no. Get my bag ready.
19:29I'm bittering.
19:30Mark my words. If you go, I'll...
19:32Send me Rosanna.
19:33Send me Rosanna.
19:38Might as well.
19:39Lovely.
19:48It should be forbidden by act of Parliament for babies to arrive on a night like this.
19:53Oh, stop fretting, Betty.
19:55Father promised he wouldn't send you back until the storm's cleared.
19:58All the same, he'd have a fit if he knew you were sleeping with that thing under your pillow.
20:01Instead of burying it down in the cellar or something.
20:04Oh, don't be silly.
20:06You speak as if this were a hotel or a railway station full of thieves.
20:11It might well be.
20:13For all my suspicions.
20:16Be careful of the paint, Bethridge.
20:18It's still wet.
20:31Oh, no.
21:01Oh, no.
21:31Oh, no.
22:01Oh, no.
22:32Oh, no.
22:45Oh, no, it might take this glory of morning.
22:48Might the trip to see the sunshine.
22:52What's that appearing?
22:54The Wombstone.
22:56It's gone.
22:58Yes.
23:00It's gone.
23:02You mean it's been stolen?
23:04Someone took it right from under it?
23:06I don't know.
23:08Who's that?
23:10What is it?
23:12You look as if you've seen a ghost.
23:14Are you sure it's been stolen?
23:17I don't know.
23:19Mr. Franklin!
23:21It's gone!
23:24Mr. Franklin!
23:26Mr. Godfrey!
23:30Mr. Franklin!
23:32What is it?
23:33What's happened? Is the house on fire?
23:35Someone's robbed Miss Anne.
23:37They've stolen the Wombstone right from under her head.
23:40What? That's impossible.
23:42Oh, is it?
23:44Sir John!
23:52Sir John!
23:55Sir John!
23:57Anne, don't look at me like that.
23:58Tell me what happened.
24:00I don't know.
24:05Miss Anne!
24:13Miss Anne!
24:15Miss Anne!
24:17Dr. Jennings!
24:19Good Lord, what is it?
24:25Father!
24:26Oh, Father!
24:28Father!
24:30It's murder.
24:32It's that cursed Wombstone.
24:35Dr. Jennings, quick!
24:37Oh, Ezra!
24:39Ezra, he isn't dead.
24:41Steady, darling, steady.
24:43No, he's alive.
24:46In pneumonia, I think.
24:48Franklin, give me a hand.
24:53He evidently tried to help himself and collapsed.
24:56Look at his clothes, they're soaked.
24:58A hot water beverage and turn the switch on the sterilizer.
25:02I can't.
25:04The electric comes off.
25:06Then boil some, hurry!
25:10And clear the room, please.
25:12Clear the room.
25:18Anne, darling.
25:20Oh, get out!
25:22All of you, get out!
25:24Oh, can't you understand plain English?
25:26Dr. Jennings, then clear the room.
25:37Oh, Ezra, hurry!
25:40She's hysterical.
25:42Well, don't stand there like a stuffed owl.
25:44We've got to do something to recover that confounded Wombstone.
25:48Yes, I know.
25:49I know.
25:55Scotland Yard.
25:59I'll try and get Inspector Coffey, he's a friend of mine.
26:11Hello?
26:13Hello?
26:15The mine's dead, the storm must have blown the wires down.
26:18Hello?
26:22I wish I could get Coffey.
26:24Mr. Franklin?
26:26There's a man downstairs from Scotland Yard.
26:29He says it's Inspector Coffey.
26:31Coffey?
26:33Come along, Godfrey.
26:36Good gracious me.
26:38It's like bringing rabbits out of a hat.
26:42There's nothing to do now but wait for the crisis.
26:45Oh, I can't leave him.
26:47Oh, but you must, my dear.
26:49Otherwise I'll have you on my hands, too.
26:53I'll call you the moment there's any change.
27:16You say the smear was not there last night when you left your mistress?
27:20And that the paint was wet?
27:22Yes.
27:25Mr. Blake.
27:27You found all doors and windows securely locked from the inside?
27:30Yes, Godfrey and I checked them personally, Inspector.
27:33Then I must ask everyone here to submit to an examination of their personal belongings.
27:38Would you mean you think you'll find paint on some garment worn by the thief?
27:42Precisely.
27:43Sir, did you mean to hint?
27:45Oh, we're not hinting anything, Beveridge.
27:47We're merely facing facts.
27:49The Moonstone's been stolen. We've got to find it.
27:51I start with my things, Inspector.
27:53Mine, too, Inspector.
27:55Miss Anne, you are a police officer?
27:57Oh, Anne, this is Inspector Cuff from Scotland Yard, Miss Verinder.
27:59The Inspector's a friend of mine.
28:01We appreciate your assistance, Inspector.
28:03But I will not submit an inspection of my personal belongings.
28:06As you say.
28:08Of course, Miss Verinder.
28:10But I'd like to ask one question.
28:11Yes, sir.
28:13Do you happen to know anything about the smell of paint on the door?
28:16Might you have done it by accident yourself?
28:19I know nothing about that.
28:21Anne, darling.
28:28I want to talk with everyone in the house.
28:31Individually.
28:35I'll begin with you.
28:38Is it in here, sir?
28:41Down in the drawing room.
28:53The last time I saw you, Rosanna Spearman,
28:56you were in prison for theft.
28:59Yes, sir.
29:02And the pearls you stole at that time
29:04were found afterwards in the possession of Carl Van Lucker,
29:07a moneylender, were they not?
29:09Yes.
29:11But...
29:13You're very grateful to your benefactress, Miss Verinder, aren't you?
29:16Yes. Of course.
29:18Even to assisting her in anything she might ask?
29:21Yes.
29:23Well, that would depend.
29:25Has Van Lucker since coming here
29:27acknowledged that he knows you?
29:29No. No, sir.
29:31Do you know what it means to be an accessory to crime?
29:34Even though it were proved, you were actuated by gratitude.
29:37Yes. Oh, yes.
29:38It isn't very pleasant in prison, is it?
29:41No. No.
29:46You know that the yellow diamond called the Moonstone
29:49was originally stolen from a sacred idol in an Indian temple?
29:54I've heard that many times.
29:57Isn't it a fact, Yondu,
29:59that every native of the faith has dedicated himself
30:02to restoring the sacred gem to the temple?
30:04That has been the tradition for many generations.
30:08But it doesn't touch me, sir.
30:10Why not?
30:13Because I have adopted the Christian faith.
30:18But when you entered Mr. Blake's service,
30:20you knew he was taking the Moonstone from India, didn't you?
30:25Yes, I did.
30:28That'll be all.
30:31Thank you, sir.
30:33Thank you, sir.
30:43Mr. Blake tells me you're a dealer in rare books.
30:47That is correct.
30:50Rather a losing business these days, isn't it?
30:53Yes, when one refers to it as a business.
30:55Fortunately, my private income is sufficient to dub it a hobby.
30:59During depression.
31:00Oh, you have a private income.
31:03But surely it must have diminished considerably
31:05with those terrific losses you've been suffering lately
31:08by gambling.
31:11Yes.
31:13Well, that's my private affair.
31:15Which can't possibly have any bearing on this situation.
31:18No, no, no, no, of course not.
31:21But if you were better fixed financially,
31:23you'd feel more at liberty to urge Miss Verinder to marry you.
31:28Well, I hadn't looked at it in that light.
31:30But it's an idea.
31:34Now, he owes me 5,000 pounds,
31:36and I came here to collect or foreclose.
31:39On account of that storm last night,
31:42I happened to be under this roof when the Moonstone disappeared.
31:45Now, I suppose now you want to ask a lot of crazy questions about me.
31:50Go ahead.
31:52I am a good listener.
31:54Yeah, that is a go.
31:56Thank you.
31:58Just two questions, Lucker.
32:00Oh, well, let me off easy, huh?
32:02Do you happen to know if Miss Verinder
32:04is aware of her father's business with you?
32:07No.
32:09I don't think so.
32:11The old fool said she isn't.
32:13Why didn't you acknowledge that you knew
32:15Rosanna Spearman, the housemaid,
32:17when you entered this house?
32:19Why should I do anything to make it hard
32:21for that poor little kid who wants to go straight?
32:23I never knew you to be brimming over
32:25with the milk of human kindness, Van Lucker.
32:27I imagine there are a lot of things
32:29you don't know about me.
32:32Is that all?
32:34That's all for now.
32:37Thanks.
32:39You're welcome.
32:41Sir John was called out last night.
32:43Yes.
32:45What time do you think he'll return?
32:47Oh, I should say between midnight and two o'clock.
32:50Your real name isn't Jenny.
32:52It's Crofton, isn't it?
32:54How did you discover that?
32:55Yeah, it's my business to remember faces.
32:58And you were a pretty big man
33:00in your profession 20 years ago.
33:02Yes, as you probably know,
33:04that was a great tragedy in my life.
33:06It was only with Sir John's help
33:08that I was able to overcome it.
33:10You're assisting him with your knowledge
33:12of drugs and the compounding
33:14of his new anesthetic, aren't you?
33:16Yes.
33:18You know that Sir John
33:20is in financial difficulty
33:22and that the value of the Moonstone
33:23might help to put him back on his feet.
33:25I'm not familiar
33:27with the doctor's private affairs.
33:30Now, perhaps if you'll excuse me, Inspector,
33:34I'd better get back to Sir John.
33:36Naturally.
33:38Your patient comes first, Doctor.
33:40But I'd expect you to resume this talk later.
33:42Yes.
33:48Now, Mrs. Beatrice,
33:50are you sure you had no occasion
33:51to enter Miss Dern's studio this morning
33:53before you discovered her there
33:55beside the bed?
33:57No.
33:59You didn't go in there, say,
34:01to dust or wipe things off?
34:03No.
34:05Do you know anything about
34:07Sir John's financial affairs?
34:09No!
34:11And you can't make me answer
34:13any more questions,
34:15you nosy old owl.
34:17Now, for a pretty woman,
34:18you know I can't get round me
34:20with your soft soap.
34:22I'll let you know I've been in service
34:24in this house for 40 years.
34:26I know my young mistress.
34:28And if a hundred Moonstones
34:30was lost, stolen or strayed,
34:32I know how and when to keep my mouth shut.
34:35Same as she.
34:42I'm cold.
34:44I'm cold.
34:46What is it, Doctor?
34:48He's been muttering things
34:50I think you should hear.
34:54Another little blacksmith.
34:58Oh, that young ass Franklin.
35:02What he wants is sleep.
35:05Sleep.
35:08Hot milk.
35:10I'll give him hot milk.
35:13Rosanna.
35:14Rosanna.
35:18Ginger it up with some R-T-H.
35:24That will save you
35:26from your little sweet nine eyes.
35:29Rosanna!
35:33What's R-T-H?
35:41What is this R-T-H?
35:42It's a powerful drug
35:44to induce sleep
35:46and calm the nerves.
35:48On the other hand,
35:50a slight overdose
35:52might produce
35:54a strange stimulating reaction.
35:56Last night I saw Rosanna
35:58take Franklin a glass of hot milk.
36:00Now, it's quite possible that such a...
36:02Dad, I see what you mean.
36:04Get Mr. Blake and Miss Berger.
36:06Hurry.
36:08Wait, Betty.
36:10I have a fan
36:12I'll explain to you later.
36:14Tell Miss Ander to come here
36:16as soon as she can
36:18without letting Mr. Franklin be aware of it.
36:20Miss Berger can be a great use to us
36:22as I will explain to you later
36:24if you agree with my idea.
36:31And every sensory impression
36:33which has once been recognized
36:35by the perceptive consciousness
36:37is registered,
36:39a photograph, so to speak,
36:40on the brain
36:42and may be reproduced
36:44at some subsequent time.
36:46Although there may be no consciousness
36:48of its existence in the mind
36:50during the intermediate period.
36:52Do you mean to say
36:54that if we gave Blake another dose of this
36:56enough to produce the stimulating reaction
36:58that he'd repeat what he did last night?
37:00That he'd do everything
37:02he's totally unaware of now?
37:04Would he take a substitute for the Moonstone
37:06and do exactly with it
37:08what he did with the real one last night?
37:10I'm sorry.
37:12It's just an experiment.
37:14What do you think, Mr. Baker?
37:16I'd say try it.
37:18Certainly, by all means.
37:20Mark my words,
37:22you're going to make a fool of somebody
37:24unlike a snuffer chateau.
37:26Oh, quiet, Beatrice.
37:28I can't guarantee
37:30to produce identical reactions
37:32because I don't know exactly
37:34how much of this Sir John gave you.
37:36There's no danger, Doctor.
37:38Oh, no.
37:40How are we going to give it to him
37:42without his knowledge?
37:44That's simple.
37:46Beatrice will conveniently remember his hot milk.
37:48Heaven knows he'll need it
37:50after a day like this.
37:52Come on, darling.
37:54Oh, it's just ridiculous.
37:56I've never heard of such a thing in my whole life.
37:58And while you're about it, Doctor,
38:00could you give a good stiff
38:02sleeping potion to Mrs. Beatrice?
38:11Oh, this mattress will make a perfect substitute
38:13for the moon stone.
38:15Well, all we need now is last night's storm
38:17to complete this crazy play act.
38:19If you don't behave yourself,
38:21I'll send you to bed.
38:23Oh, I'm sorry.
38:25I'm sorry.
38:27I'm sorry.
38:29I'm sorry.
38:31I'm sorry.
38:33I'm sorry.
38:35I'm sorry.
38:37I'm sorry.
38:38If you don't behave yourself,
38:40I'll send you to your room.
38:42All the same, if he does walk,
38:44I bet my Sunday bonnet he'll go straight to...
38:46Where?
38:48Well, where would a man be going
38:50in the middle of the night?
38:52Mrs. Beveridge!
38:55You ought to be ashamed of yourself
38:57when we're trying to find the moon stone
38:59and help Frank out of his dilemma.
39:01Well, nobody ever found anything in their sleep
39:03except a nightmare.
39:08Bad business.
39:11Bad business.
39:38Bad business.
39:41Bad business.
39:44Bad business.
39:47Bad business.
39:50Bad business.
39:53Bad business.
39:56Bad business.
39:59Bad business.
40:02Bad business.
40:04Bad business.
40:07Bad business.
40:10Bad business.
40:13Bad business.
40:16Bad business.
40:19Bad business.
40:22Bad business.
40:25Bad business.
40:28It's a silly thing to do, sitting here all night.
40:31Nothing's going to happen anyway.
40:35Quick, get behind the curtain.
40:37All right, all right.
40:39Be quiet.
40:40Stupid thing to do.
41:32He's got it.
41:42Make way for my robe.
41:47Bailey, you'll never lead us to the Moonstone.
41:51Maybe they'll snap me in two.
41:54If I don't keep them awake.
42:02Everything.
42:10Can't do.
42:27Godfrey.
42:32Godfrey.
42:34Take this wretched thing.
42:38Hide it.
42:40Hide it before the thieves.
42:47He's got to sleep.
42:49Godfrey.
42:55Godfrey and Ann Lucker.
42:57Ann Lucker.
42:59My God, I knew it all the time.
43:02You did?
43:04And you let them thieves get away?
43:06My, my, my.
43:08Aren't you the little churner?
43:10Mrs. Bedford, go down to the river and pull the water over your head.
43:17Being the perfect lady, I'll give you the last word.
43:28Your reservations for Holland, sir, according to your telegram.
43:31Did you wire Amsterdam?
43:33Yes, sir.
43:34De Groot phoned half an hour ago to say that he could cut the stone immediately.
43:38Have you got it, sir?
43:40No.
43:41Godfrey Eberwhite is bringing it.
43:43His train was due half an hour ago.
43:45He ought to be here any moment.
43:47Speaking of the devil.
43:49Let him in.
43:58Here, hold your horses.
44:10Why, Inspector Kopp.
44:12You made good time for me up here, didn't you, Ann Lucker?
44:19Holland, eh?
44:22Here, wait a minute.
44:25Here, wait a minute.
44:31Robin, let Mr. Godfrey Eberwhite in.
44:46Please take your hands off me.
44:49Hmm.
44:50Fifteen thousand pounds.
44:53Well, that's about enough to put you securely on your feet again, Mr. Eberwhite.
44:57It would have been.
44:59It hadn't been for Mr. Van Lucker.
45:01Oh, listen, you don't know anything about...
45:03Shut up.
45:05Come on.
45:06Let me have it.
45:14Well, there you go.
45:16There you go.
45:18My matrimonial prospect.
45:20Priceless.
45:22Magnificent.
45:25You gentlemen are not trying to sell this to me by any chance, are you?
45:33All right, Robin.
45:35Take him away.
45:46Thank you.
46:08Oh, Inspector.
46:10Isn't that grand?
46:12Yes, Mrs. Bedford.
46:14Those were the days.
46:16Remember?
