00:01:30An orange soda, please.
00:01:42Right you are, sir.
00:02:23He could at least have excused himself.
00:02:46I turned as I heard glass breaking, and boom, down he went.
00:02:50My room, please.
00:02:51All right, everybody get back.
00:02:52I'm the witness.
00:02:53It all happened right next to me.
00:02:54I was beside him, and...
00:02:55Let me through, please.
00:02:56Can I get through?
00:02:57Let me through, please.
00:02:58I'm a doctor.
00:02:59Very good, sir.
00:03:11This man appears to be seriously ill.
00:03:13What's the matter?
00:03:14It's a heart attack.
00:03:15I'll have to give him a shot.
00:03:16Quick, get an ambulance.
00:03:17Right-o.
00:03:43The ambulance is on the way.
00:03:44It's a matter of minutes.
00:04:01What are you doing?
00:04:02I was only trying to help you, doctor.
00:04:04I'm in no need of help.
00:04:06But I just wanted to gather up his affairs for when they get in.
00:04:08Make room, please.
00:04:09Ah, here's the ambulance.
00:04:10Hey, over here.
00:04:11Get the stretcher here.
00:04:12Get back, please.
00:04:13He's already had a shot.
00:04:14The doctor took care of him.
00:04:15What kind of a shot?
00:04:16Where's the doctor?
00:04:17Where's the doctor?
00:04:18He was just here.
00:04:19Where'd he go?
00:04:20Don't bother with the charm, Miss Holloway.
00:04:21You've had your chance.
00:04:22Get ready to die.
00:04:23Please, you can't do this.
00:04:24I didn't mean to do it.
00:04:25You can't.
00:04:26You know how the boss feels about bunglers.
00:04:27You were one of them.
00:04:28You're a woman.
00:04:29You're a woman.
00:04:30You're a woman.
00:04:31You're a woman.
00:04:32You're a woman.
00:04:33You're a woman.
00:04:34You're a woman.
00:04:35You're a woman.
00:04:36You're a woman.
00:04:37You're a woman.
00:04:38You're a woman.
00:04:39And while your boss feels about bunglers, you were warned, my dear.
00:04:41But it was mistake.
00:04:42Oh no.
00:04:44No.
00:04:46You can't kill me in cold blood.
00:04:49No, please.
00:04:50Well, Feeny, what are you doing here?
00:04:54No, you can't do it!
00:04:59No!
00:05:00Well, what are you up to this time?
00:05:02I hope it's only girl trouble.
00:05:04I see shadows everywhere, inspector.
00:05:06This time I'm really in a ...
00:05:09Oh, I'm afraid scared. I wanted you to...
00:05:13Well, do get it out and stop stuttering. What is it?
00:05:18Doesn't that get under your skin?
00:05:20What?
00:05:21That noise!
00:05:22I'm so used to it, I don't hear it anymore, to tell the truth.
00:05:27All right, what is it? What's so scary?
00:05:29You want me to?
00:05:30Yes.
00:05:31Shakey Eddie found me a swell job a while back. Fifteen hundred pounds to open a door.
00:05:34Off at a price like that to open a door?
00:05:36Tell me, there didn't happen to be a safe built around this?
00:05:38No, no, nothing, Shady, believe me, it was all...
00:05:41Well, come over here and sit down. Give me your hat, take it easy.
00:05:44Oh, I'm sorry, sorry.
00:05:45Don't worry about it. Cigarette?
00:05:47Oh, please, yes, yes.
00:05:51There.
00:05:56Light?
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:59Here you are.
00:06:02There.
00:06:05Keep it, Feeny.
00:06:08Well...
00:06:10It's mine.
00:06:11Right.
00:06:12So, Feeny, tell me more about this door.
00:06:14Well, it was very old, an antique door.
00:06:16And it was built with seven different locks on it.
00:06:18And as each one opens, the record starts to turn and you hear the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves.
00:06:22That's about it, right?
00:06:23It's the truth, honest, sir.
00:06:25But they only had one of the keys.
00:06:27Who's they?
00:06:28No, I don't know.
00:06:29You don't know who it was? Do you know where it was?
00:06:33No.
00:06:34No, I don't know that either.
00:06:35No, of course you don't.
00:06:37See that? Your story is as tough to swallow as this egg.
00:06:40They blindfolded me first, sir.
00:06:42I did get a peek underneath it once.
00:06:44I saw the mileage meter and I saw from Battersea grounds where they picked me up to the place where we were was exactly 30 miles.
00:06:51Now, tell me, Feeny, where's the money you made?
00:06:54Oh, I dropped out of the deal.
00:06:56All of a sudden, I got a funny cramp in the belly.
00:06:59When something's fishy, I always get it.
00:07:01I had a feeling that once I opened it, they made sure I wouldn't see what was inside.
00:07:13Inspector Martin.
00:07:16Yes, sir?
00:07:18No, sir.
00:07:21Yes, sir.
00:07:22Right away.
00:07:24Come along, Feeny, I'm going out.
00:07:25Oh, no, no, sir.
00:07:26Please, sir, please.
00:07:27Can I stay here for a moment?
00:07:29Oh, Feeny, what is all this?
00:07:32That cramp, sir, is back.
00:07:34All right, you can stay in my apartment on one condition.
00:07:37You tell me everything.
00:07:39And I mean the truth.
00:07:40Oh, now you're blackmailing me, sir.
00:07:47Think it over, Feeny.
00:07:48The truth or out.
00:07:52Oh, no, no, no.
00:07:55I think I'd rather think it over, sir.
00:07:57Right on.
00:08:01Right on.
00:08:20Judge for yourself, gentlemen.
00:08:21Two corpses in 48 hours.
00:08:26The press is waiting for the chance to attack us.
00:08:28As for the prime minister, we're in for it this time.
00:08:32Excuse me, sir John.
00:08:33I believe the murder at the Thames and the death of the priest at the station are two different and distinct affairs.
00:08:38I'm sure one bears no relation.
00:08:40Oh, so much the better.
00:08:44Mr. Holmes, what is this?
00:08:46I would say, sir, that it's a chain to which a gold key is attached.
00:08:49Or conversely, a gold key to which a chain is attached.
00:08:52Thank you, that's fine.
00:08:53Well, Inspector Martin?
00:08:54Well, that's the key we found on the Thames corpse, sir.
00:08:56I believe the chain's composed of 80 links.
00:08:58Thank you.
00:08:59Are you positive of that?
00:09:00Absolutely, sir.
00:09:01As a matter of fact, we've identified the body.
00:09:03Holmes, please.
00:09:04Yes, sir.
00:09:05Right away, sir.
00:09:06The deceased is, or what I should say is, was,
00:09:09Mr. Peter Livingstone, born the 14th of May in 1913,
00:09:13but in no way related whatsoever to a well-known explorer.
00:09:16Please, sir, I want...
00:09:17That's enough.
00:09:24How about this?
00:09:27Someone tell me what this is.
00:09:29I would say it resembles a key attached to a gold chain,
00:09:32or perhaps a gold chain attached to a key.
00:09:34Yes, very clever, Holmes.
00:09:36And where did we find this key?
00:09:38I have no idea, sir.
00:09:39On the priest who was murdered.
00:09:41Did you say he was murdered?
00:09:43Yes, Inspector, beyond a doubt.
00:09:45An intravenous injection of camphor oil.
00:09:49Death was immediate.
00:09:50You must admit, Inspector, that these keys resemble each other.
00:09:55That's not all.
00:09:56On the body of the priest, a letter was found.
00:10:00Father O'Brien, Glasgow, Scotland.
00:10:03Strand, Trinity Church.
00:10:07Dear Father,
00:10:08we hereby inform you that we await your arrival
00:10:11as per your letter of April the 3rd in our offices.
00:10:14In view of this, the previous date,
00:10:16which was established for April the 30th, is cancelled.
00:10:19Very sincerely yours, Warren D. Havelock.
00:10:24Thank you.
00:10:42All you need is practice. Keep at it.
00:10:44I will, sir.
00:10:51Inspector Martin from Scotland Yard, sir.
00:10:53This way, sir.
00:10:55Good day, Inspector.
00:10:56Good day, Mr. Havelock.
00:10:57Unless I'm mistaken, you phoned this morning.
00:10:58Yes.
00:10:59What can I do for you?
00:11:00I would like some information, please.
00:11:02I should be most happy to be of help if possible.
00:11:04Please sit down.
00:11:05Thank you.
00:11:06Can I offer you something? A cigar?
00:11:08No, thank you.
00:11:13Well, then.
00:11:14Mr. Havelock, do you know Father O'Brien of Glasgow?
00:11:18No, not personally, but we did correspond.
00:11:21I expected him here yesterday.
00:11:22He never showed up.
00:11:23Why?
00:11:24Does the date April 13th mean anything to you?
00:11:26Ah, yes.
00:11:27Very important date.
00:11:28On April 13th, young Lord Percy Selford turns 21
00:11:32and thus legally becomes of age,
00:11:34which means I'm no longer responsible for him.
00:11:36Ah.
00:11:37Yes, Inspector, it's an honor.
00:11:38I'm delighted to give up.
00:11:40I'm the official executor named in the will of Lord Angus Selford.
00:11:44Tell me, does the young lord live in London?
00:11:46No.
00:11:47No, he's never in London.
00:11:48He's always elsewhere.
00:11:50The truth is that for years he's done nothing
00:11:52but travel to the casinos of the world,
00:11:54gambling away his fortune.
00:11:55I mean the portion he's been free to lose.
00:11:57The boy squanders away his money like water.
00:11:59I see.
00:12:00It must have been quite a responsibility for you.
00:12:02You have no idea, Inspector, none at all.
00:12:04Look here.
00:12:05I have his dossier.
00:12:06Just last week I had to extradite the tidy sum of 3,000 pounds
00:12:09to the Grand Hotel of Art in the Alps.
00:12:11How cheap.
00:12:12Telegraphic money order to boot.
00:12:14You expect him here April 13th?
00:12:15Yes, indeed.
00:12:16This time he has to show up.
00:12:17His presence is required by the terms of his father's will.
00:12:20Hmm.
00:12:21One question, Mr. Havelock.
00:12:23What did Father O'Brien's visit here
00:12:25have to do with the coming of age of Lord Percy?
00:12:28Good question.
00:12:29Father O'Brien wrote me a letter
00:12:31explaining that a Rufus Stark,
00:12:33one of his parishioners, I believe,
00:12:34told him just before his death.
00:12:36Will you please hold this?
00:12:37Just before his death.
00:12:38Here.
00:12:39Yes.
00:12:40It was a confession.
00:12:41Wait a moment.
00:12:43It says he was to bring you a key.
00:12:46Yes, it appears that Lord Angus Salford,
00:12:48a short time before the poor fellow passed away,
00:12:52called together seven trusted friends
00:12:54and gave each one a key.
00:12:56But why?
00:12:57Ah, we won't know that before April 13th.
00:13:01Do you mind one other question?
00:13:03Oh, of course.
00:13:04Do you know a certain Peter Livingstone?
00:13:06No.
00:13:08Ah, but wait.
00:13:09I think he was the butler.
00:13:10Yes, Lord Salford's butler,
00:13:12but there was an incident.
00:13:13He was dismissed.
00:13:14Oh, what do you know about this Rufus Stark?
00:13:19Strange.
00:13:21You're asking about him.
00:13:23Upon receipt of the priest's letter,
00:13:24I inquired about Stark also.
00:13:26He's deceased.
00:13:27A very shady article.
00:13:29Heavily in debt.
00:13:30Dishonorably discharged from the army
00:13:31following some scandal.
00:13:33Salford and he were in the same regiment in India.
00:13:35Oh, I see.
00:13:37Well, Mr. Havelock, thank you.
00:13:40Your help has been very valuable.
00:13:42Inspector.
00:13:56Hello, Feeney.
00:13:59Feeney.
00:14:04Hey, Feeney.
00:14:06Where are you?
00:14:09That's strange.
00:14:11He got tired of waiting.
00:14:12Well, to get back to my deduction, sir,
00:14:14it would seem there are now five people at large
00:14:16each holding keys similar to the ones we have.
00:14:18All right, Sherlock.
00:14:20I'll play Watson.
00:14:21Go ahead.
00:14:22Inspector, the fact my name is Holmes
00:14:23is no reason to ridicule my powers of deduction.
00:14:26All right.
00:14:27No righteous indignation.
00:14:28Instead, put your powers to better use
00:14:30and figure out Feeney's sketch.
00:14:31It's a coat of arms, obviously.
00:14:33Yes, obviously.
00:14:34And in the meantime,
00:14:35if you won't be offended,
00:14:36I'm going to get comfortable.
00:14:38But of course, Inspector, make yourself at home.
00:14:40I will continue to practice
00:14:41the very fine tricks you do so well.
00:14:43But could you show me just once?
00:14:44But of course.
00:14:45Watch carefully.
00:14:46It's all so simple.
00:14:48There.
00:14:49Catch on now?
00:14:50Sensational, sir.
00:14:51Your turn.
00:15:11Shh!
00:15:12Shh!
00:15:13Shh!
00:15:41I hope you'll find it, sir.
00:15:43Thank you.
00:15:51Good day.
00:15:53I'd like a little information.
00:15:55Ah.
00:15:56Yes, of course.
00:15:57Yes.
00:15:58Yes.
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:00Yes.
00:16:01Yes.
00:16:02Yes.
00:16:03Yes.
00:16:04Yes.
00:16:05Yes.
00:16:06Yes.
00:16:07Yes.
00:16:08Yes.
00:16:09Yes.
00:16:30Do you approve?
00:16:32Of what?
00:16:33My legs.
00:16:34Oh, yes.
00:16:36Can I help you?
00:16:38Yes, by keeping your distance.
00:16:39You wanted...
00:16:40Oh, yes.
00:16:41I wanted to locate a coat of arms.
00:16:43I mean, I locate its proprietor.
00:16:46Oh, that's easy enough.
00:16:48We have here 7,346 volumes on heraldry.
00:16:51Each book has around 400 pages,
00:16:53a coat of arms a page.
00:16:54That's 3 million to choose from.
00:16:55That would make about 10 years' steady work.
00:16:57It would make less if you helped me.
00:16:59You think so?
00:17:00Oh, I'm sure of it.
00:17:01If we took some home,
00:17:02we could work at my place, for example.
00:17:03We're closing in 15 minutes.
00:17:05Oh, that's all right.
00:17:06I'd be glad to wait.
00:17:07You know, in your own way, you're amusing.
00:17:09Can I see your library card?
00:17:11Well, I'm afraid I haven't got a card.
00:17:13I am Inspector Martin of Scotland Yard.
00:17:16Without a library card,
00:17:17you cannot take out anything,
00:17:18even if you are Scotland Yard.
00:17:20What am I going to do then?
00:17:21What coat of arms did you wish to see?
00:17:23Wait a second.
00:17:24I have a sketch here with me,
00:17:26but I'm not sure you'll recognize it.
00:17:27There you are.
00:17:38Here you are.
00:17:42What's the matter?
00:17:43This is exactly...
00:17:44But look, it's not possible.
00:17:46What?
00:17:487,300 books at 400 pages is 400 multiplied by...
00:17:52Oh, no, no.
00:17:53It's not possible.
00:17:54Or at least it's not for me.
00:17:56It's for you.
00:17:57I have to do it.
00:17:58You're not going to do it, are you?
00:18:00I'm not going to do it.
00:18:01I'm not going to do it.
00:18:02I've got to do it.
00:18:03You've got to do it.
00:18:04I've got to do it.
00:18:05Oh, no, no.
00:18:06It's not possible.
00:18:07Or else you're clairvoyant or a witch.
00:18:09No.
00:18:10I'm related to the Selfords, that's all.
00:18:12A very distant and poor cousin.
00:18:14Oh, so that's it.
00:18:16In any case, I thank you in the name of Scotland Yard.
00:18:18Yes, thanks a lot.
00:18:20Miss...
00:18:23Not at all.
00:18:24Goodbye.
00:18:26See you soon.
00:18:29That takes care of everything except the northern sector, sir,
00:18:32if I'm correct in certain assumptions.
00:18:34First assumption, that Lou Feeney was really taken in a car to Battersea Grounds blindfolded
00:18:38and he was not mistaken when he thought he read 30 miles more on the speedometer.
00:18:42Second assumption, Feeney's sketch was his way of telling us
00:18:45the door with the seven locks is somehow related to the Selford estate.
00:18:49Therefore, within this circumference, which I authorized myself to trace
00:18:53with a great deal of art,
00:18:55should logically be the place to where Feeney was taken to crack a door.
00:18:59Yes, yes.
00:19:00I draw your attention to the fact that there is just one highway
00:19:03near Battersea Grounds, you see, direction due north.
00:19:06However, there are only Hick towns around, if I may use such a word.
00:19:09New Barnet, Oakwood, Selford Manor, Cheside.
00:19:12Selford Manor!
00:19:18Selford Manor, sir!
00:19:21Oh! Selford Manor, sir!
00:19:24What?
00:19:25Yes, that's right. It says so.
00:19:27It's right next to the route to Enfield.
00:19:45Well, Tommy Coleman,
00:19:48since when have you turned country squire?
00:19:50What do you know, Inspector Martin?
00:19:53No, no, I haven't been that lucky.
00:19:55No? But the clothes?
00:19:57I worked for it, sir.
00:19:58Up to your old tricks, Tommy?
00:20:00Not any more. I got an honest job now, sir, butler and chauffeur.
00:20:03Ah! And that's the type of uniform your employer buys for you?
00:20:07No, I'm dressed to go out.
00:20:09Of course. Tommy, is your employer aware of your glorious past, huh?
00:20:14Yes. I told Mr. Cody.
00:20:17I see. How'd you end up in this section of town?
00:20:20Came to see Dr. Stiletti.
00:20:21A doctor? Here in Selford Manor?
00:20:23Yes, I had fainting spells. Overdid it, I guess.
00:20:26Ah! Yes, you overdid quite a lot of things.
00:20:29That's a very pretty piece, isn't it? An antique in gold.
00:20:32Where did you get it?
00:20:33I inherited it.
00:20:35Now from my father, goodbye.
00:20:37See you soon, Tommy.
00:20:45Good day. I'd like to visit the castle, please.
00:20:49What?
00:20:52Ah, forbidden. Where can I get permission?
00:20:58Mr. Havelock in London. Yes, I know him well.
00:21:01May I talk with Dr. Stiletti, please?
00:21:14Ah!
00:21:40Are you always so curious?
00:21:45I'm Dr. Stiletti.
00:21:54You wanted to see me?
00:21:56Yes. My name is John Ryder. I'm a...
00:21:59Commissioner from Scotland Yard, isn't that right?
00:22:01Not exactly. I'm only an inspector.
00:22:03Oh, I'm so sorry. What can I do for you?
00:22:07How long have you lived here, Doctor?
00:22:10Is this a private call or is it an interrogation?
00:22:13Any way you want. I'll give you the choice.
00:22:15Then I prefer the first choice.
00:22:17I've been living here for ten years.
00:22:19Ah.
00:22:21Tell me about your work, Doctor.
00:22:23Or at least the part of it which would interest Scotland Yard.
00:22:27Would you please sit down?
00:22:28Yes, thank you.
00:22:30Well, I'll start by confessing that some years ago...
00:22:33I had some trouble with the English police...
00:22:35due to the nature of certain experiments on animals.
00:22:38Yes, I know about that, but...
00:22:40isn't vivisection outlawed in most countries?
00:22:43I see, Inspector. You're very well informed indeed.
00:22:46Notwithstanding the laws, it was Lord Selford who permitted me...
00:22:49after long months of wasteful, stupid interruption...
00:22:52to continue my experiments.
00:22:54And what are you working on at the moment?
00:22:57On something I call constructive biology.
00:23:00However, I don't suppose that means much to you.
00:23:03No. I'm afraid it doesn't.
00:23:06Yes, I hope...
00:23:08leaving modesty aside...
00:23:11one day my years of research will have an important influence...
00:23:14on the evolutionary process of human beings.
00:23:18Uh-huh.
00:23:21Have you any other questions, Inspector?
00:23:23No, I don't believe I do. That is, I...
00:23:26I wanted...
00:23:28Oh.
00:23:29You dropped something, Dr. Stiletti.
00:23:35It's dangerous to underestimate a man's intelligence.
00:23:38He could take it as an insult.
00:23:40This, Inspector, belongs to someone else. Please return it.
00:23:44You don't happen to know of a door that this key could open, do you?
00:23:48I'm a man of science, not a locksmith.
00:23:52Inspector, may I be excused?
00:24:35Thank you.
00:25:05Thank you.
00:25:35Thank you.
00:26:05Thank you.
00:26:10Hands up!
00:26:36Oh.
00:26:50Oh!
00:26:51Oh, has there been trouble, sir?
00:26:53What are you up to? What have you got your hands up for?
00:26:55I'm sorry, sir. It's the revolver.
00:26:57Oh. Did you see anyone?
00:26:58No. No one, sir.
00:27:01What are you doing here at this time of night?
00:27:02Am I allowed to enter, sir?
00:27:04Oh, come on. What's coming?
00:27:05Very kind of you, sir.
00:27:11Is window glass good luck, sir?
00:27:15Somebody just attacks me.
00:27:17Very sorry, sir.
00:27:18The reason for this late visit is these two photos which came from Interpol in the Alps.
00:27:23Do you mind taking a good look at the man on the balcony of this hotel, sir?
00:27:28I can't make out a thing on this photo.
00:27:30Only natural, sir.
00:27:31But if we enlarge it a bit, I think it becomes clearer.
00:27:34You what?
00:27:36Are you in pain, sir?
00:27:38Only when I laugh.
00:27:44Why, that's...
00:27:45According to investigations by Interpol, that is young Lord Selford on the balcony of his apartment,
00:27:49number 100 of the Grand Hotel of Vannes.
00:27:52When was this photo taken, Holmes?
00:27:54On the 2nd of April at the election of Miss Bikini, Inspector, held by the hotel itself.
00:28:00Well, isn't that some...
00:28:01Precisely.
00:28:02I permitted myself to come at this hour because I thought it worth it, sir.
00:28:09A photograph of young Lord Selford?
00:28:11No. I'm sorry. I'm not able to help you.
00:28:14Too bad.
00:28:15Didn't you say that recently you were asked to send money to our friend, Attali Summers, I remember?
00:28:21Three thousand pounds.
00:28:22Did he send you an order for it?
00:28:24From Cairo. He was staying a few weeks at Shepherd's Hotel.
00:28:27He wrote from there.
00:28:28Oh, wait now. The letters in my briefcase have had some interest to you?
00:28:31Oh, yes, naturally. It's of great interest.
00:28:37Here we are. The postmark is dated March 25th.
00:28:42Miss Langdon is here, sir.
00:28:44Ah, yes. Would you ask her to wait a moment, please?
00:28:46Oh, but I've kept you long enough. I'll be on my way.
00:28:49Mr. Havelock, when do you expect to see the young Lord?
00:28:52I thought I told you. He should be here no later than April 13th, the end of next week.
00:28:57Thank you.
00:28:58Goodbye, Inspector.
00:28:59Mr. Havelock.
00:29:01Ah, good morning, Sybil. Please come in, won't you?
00:29:04Ah, this is a surprise. Good morning, Miss Langdon.
00:29:07Good morning.
00:29:08You see, now I know your name.
00:29:11Was I mistaken, Inspector, or did you take home one of our books by accident?
00:29:14I didn't. It was on purpose. I'd be happy to return it any time you like.
00:29:17As soon as you can.
00:29:21My dear child, how are you?
00:29:24Ah, you're very kind. Thank you.
00:29:25Not at all.
00:29:26So, what's this about a very important letter for my brief, hmm?
00:29:29Lopez Silva wrote me a letter.
00:29:31Lopez Silva?
00:29:33He was Uncle Angus's gardener. You must remember him.
00:29:36Oh, yes. So I do. And what's it about?
00:29:38It's a nice letter, but I must admit it's a bit confusing.
00:29:41I'm in danger, he says. The moment my cousin Percy is back on April 13th, my life will be threatened.
00:29:46I don't understand a word. Anyway, he's coming tomorrow from Lisbon. See here?
00:29:54Hmm.
00:29:57I'm not happy about this.
00:29:59I'm not either.
00:30:00Don't speak to anyone about this, Sibyl.
00:30:02We have to be very careful.
00:30:04I can't take it seriously. It's so absurd.
00:30:06No, no, no. In my opinion, my child, this has all the signs of a very serious warning.
00:30:12Yes?
00:30:13Your appointment is here, sir, concerning the ITA steel case.
00:30:17Oh, thank you.
00:30:18Will you see Inspector Martin today?
00:30:20No, I don't think so.
00:30:21That's too bad. In that case, phone him right away, will you?
00:30:23But why?
00:30:24As I say, my child, you have to show him this letter.
00:30:30And find out exactly what you should do.
00:30:32Are you sure?
00:30:33I'm certain, Sibyl.
00:30:38Good luck.
00:30:50This is a very delightful surprise.
00:30:52You are incorrigible, aren't you?
00:30:54As bad as that.
00:30:55Haven't you anything better to do?
00:30:57Nothing so pleasant.
00:30:58However, despite appearances, it's all in the line of duty.
00:31:01Are you sorry?
00:31:02You are the funniest suspect.
00:31:03Yes, I know. I know, yes.
00:31:04And aside from being funny, I am also charming, you'll see.
00:31:07I meant that for an inspector from Scotland Yard, your behavior is very original.
00:31:11Yes, I've always had to contend with that unfortunate prejudice.
00:31:14But soon people begin to realize it.
00:31:16Yes, I've always had to contend with that unfortunate prejudice.
00:31:19But soon people begin to realize that along with my charm, I have other qualities, not all professional.
00:31:24And modesty is one of the...
00:31:26No, I've had to abandon that one. It's useless.
00:31:35Sibyl.
00:31:36Yes?
00:31:37Sorry to bring it up again, but you don't happen to have a recent photograph of Lord Percy?
00:31:41No, I haven't seen or heard from my cousin since my uncle's death.
00:31:45Oh, I almost forgot. Mr. Havlock said that I should let you read this.
00:31:49Why me? I've become important. What's it about, anyway?
00:31:55When did you receive this?
00:31:56Hmm?
00:31:57I want to know when you received this letter.
00:31:59You're hurting me. This morning? What are you getting into such a state for?
00:32:01It's because your life is in grave danger.
00:32:03Well, why are you yelling? I'm not deaf, am I?
00:32:05This letter means that the organization wants the whole family out of the way.
00:32:08We have to be careful.
00:32:10You looking for something?
00:32:11A handkerchief. Have you got a handkerchief, Inspector?
00:32:14My name's Richard.
00:32:15I hate that name.
00:32:16You may call me Rick if you'd rather. Are you about to cry?
00:32:19No, to blow my nose.
00:32:27Attention. Flight number 420 arriving from Lisbon has just landed.
00:32:32Attention, please. Flight number 420 from Lisbon has just landed.
00:32:36Passengers will debark at gate number 97.
00:32:40I'm so nervous I can't stand it.
00:32:42Miss Langdon, please feel confident. I'm here to protect you.
00:32:45When Holmes is there, criminals are rare.
00:32:53Everything all right?
00:33:13Everything all right?
00:33:26There were 47 passengers on board, and I was...
00:33:28I'm sorry, sir. He doesn't seem to be here.
00:33:30But that's incredible. Have him paged over the loudspeaker again.
00:33:34Very good, sir.
00:33:35There's no mistake. You're quite sure.
00:33:36Absolutely. That passenger was on board.
00:33:38He was placed in seat 36. It's up front right.
00:33:41Everything's all right, sir.
00:33:42Passenger Lopez-Silva, please report to the information desk at once.
00:33:47Attention. Will passenger Lopez-Silva please report to the information desk at once?
00:33:58He's dead.
00:34:01Yes.
00:34:03He was murdered.
00:34:07It's horrible. I don't understand.
00:34:09But I do.
00:34:11He was going to give you information to warn you.
00:34:14And he had to be gotten rid of first.
00:34:16But why should I be so interesting to them?
00:34:18I'm no one. I have nothing. Why?
00:34:20What if it's something you don't know about?
00:34:22Did your Uncle Angus leave you anything?
00:34:25Nothing. Not a penny.
00:34:26Then your cousin Lord Percy is the sole heir.
00:34:29Yes.
00:34:30What if he were dead? What I mean is...
00:34:32Who's next in line?
00:34:34Well...
00:34:37Well, if he died unmarried, me.
00:34:40Now do you understand?
00:34:45What is it, Holmes?
00:34:46Sir, with your permission, I would like to explore for a second...
00:34:49my deductions concerning the murder.
00:34:51That is, the murderer must have been on the plane...
00:34:53Just a minute, Holmes.
00:34:54Do you take me for an idiot?
00:34:56I wouldn't think of it, sir.
00:34:57Barclay.
00:34:58I was informed that a Portuguese passport was found on the body...
00:35:01about a hundred pounds in money and a return ticket.
00:35:05Martin?
00:35:06Yes, sir. I have here the passenger list.
00:35:08There were on board, outside Lopez Silva, of course, 46 passengers...
00:35:12besides five crew members. That makes 51.
00:35:1421 places, however, were sold to our international rugby team...
00:35:18on their way back here with their coach and their agent.
00:35:20Results. Come on. Five to one. We lost, sir.
00:35:25Go on. Go on.
00:35:27A travel club with 18 American tourists in transit...
00:35:30who got on another plane for New York almost immediately.
00:35:32Five to one.
00:35:33That accounts for...
00:35:34This is scandalous.
00:35:36But we've still got another chance, sir. There's a return match.
00:35:38In other words, that leaves Mr. Blackwood, diamond dealer...
00:35:42Mr. Hintz, traveling salesman from Bremen...
00:35:45and, uh, Mr. Bertram Cody, golding company, wheelhouse.
00:35:53That makes 29.
00:35:55And from Salford Manor to here is exactly one mile.
00:35:58If this is a simple case of coincidence, I'll be hanged.
00:36:01Let's hope not, sir.
00:36:03Thanks.
00:36:11What is...
00:36:12Hello, Tommy.
00:36:14Oh, now I know why the name Cody meant something to me.
00:36:18That's the name of your employer, right?
00:36:20What is it, sir?
00:36:21I'm here to see Mr. Cody, Tommy.
00:36:23I can't disturb him now.
00:36:25I'm here on official business. Tell him that.
00:36:28It's that it's their, uh, music hour.
00:36:30I'll never interrupt them.
00:36:32Oh.
00:36:34How about?
00:36:35Who's back, sir?
00:36:37Johann Sebastian.
00:36:39Yes.
00:36:48It's my boss's hat, sir.
00:36:53Try not to make any noise.
00:36:55Try not to make any noise.
00:36:58This way, please.
00:37:25Oh.
00:37:27Oh.
00:37:53Ah.
00:37:54Bach is a perpetual wonder.
00:38:01Inspector Richard Martin of Scotland Yard.
00:38:04We normally receive guests by invitation.
00:38:07Yes, I must beg to be forgiven, madam.
00:38:10But I'm afraid I'm here on urgent business.
00:38:14I'm Bertram Cody.
00:38:15May I inquire what your visit concerns?
00:38:18Mr. Cody, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you.
00:38:22And they cannot wait until tomorrow?
00:38:23It's all right, Bertram.
00:38:25Our love of music is not shared by everyone.
00:38:27Oh, don't think for a moment I don't appreciate music, madam.
00:38:30But there's a little matter of murder.
00:38:32Not in this room.
00:38:33I won't permit it.
00:38:35Now, don't get all upset, my dear.
00:38:37We all go into my study.
00:38:39This way, please, inspector.
00:38:40Tom.
00:38:41Madam.
00:38:42Open the windows.
00:38:43Yes, ma'am.
00:38:46This way, please.
00:38:52Inspector.
00:38:54I do not see how I can be of any use to you.
00:38:57However, I feel it is the duty of every law-abiding citizen
00:39:02to cooperate with the police.
00:39:04Thank you.
00:39:05I appreciate your cooperation.
00:39:10We have a problem.
00:39:12We have a problem.
00:39:13We have a problem.
00:39:14We have a problem.
00:39:15We have a problem.
00:39:16We have a problem.
00:39:17We have a problem.
00:39:18We have a problem.
00:39:19We have a problem.
00:39:21Well, then.
00:39:23How long have you known Silva?
00:39:26Silva?
00:39:27Yes.
00:39:28I don't understand.
00:39:29Who's that?
00:39:30The victim.
00:39:33I'm sorry, inspector, but that name means nothing to me.
00:39:37I see.
00:39:38You were in Paris recently, weren't you?
00:39:40Yes.
00:39:42Cigarette?
00:39:43Not on duty.
00:39:45How do you know that, inspector?
00:39:46Oh, it wasn't difficult.
00:39:48There are passenger lists for just that sort of thing.
00:39:51I see.
00:39:56Just what you want of me, inspector.
00:39:58Nothing.
00:39:59Nothing except the truth.
00:40:01In the plane you traveled on, a man was murdered.
00:40:04Lopez Silva, to be exact.
00:40:07And we need to locate and question all the passengers on board.
00:40:12I see.
00:40:14A matter of routine.
00:40:15Where were you sitting?
00:40:16I mean during most of the flight.
00:40:19You mean...
00:40:20What was the number of my seat?
00:40:22If you remember it, that would do very well.
00:40:24I'm sorry, inspector, I don't remember it.
00:40:27Just one more question, Mr. Cody, and we'll be through.
00:40:30Did you go to Paris on business?
00:40:33Yes, you could call it that.
00:40:35I was apartment hunting, but...
00:40:37I didn't find what I wanted.
00:40:39Really? You want to leave England?
00:40:41Yes.
00:40:42My wife can't take the climate, you know.
00:40:45Oh, yes.
00:40:46The old story, London and its weather.
00:40:48Respiratory ailments, etc.
00:40:50Do you have a good agent in Paris?
00:40:53A good agent?
00:40:54Yes, you must have an agent for apartments.
00:40:57Oh.
00:40:59No, I...
00:41:01I always run an ad.
00:41:02Oh, yes.
00:41:03Of course, much more discreet.
00:41:05You recall who ran it, Mr. Cody?
00:41:07What?
00:41:08I mean the paper that ran your ad.
00:41:12What was the name of that...
00:41:16Paris...
00:41:18Paris...
00:41:19Parisois.
00:41:20Ah, Parisois, that's right.
00:41:23Are you sure of that?
00:41:25Quite sure, yes.
00:41:26Good.
00:41:27That'll be enough for today.
00:41:30Thank you, Mr. Cody, and I'm sorry I had to keep you so long.
00:41:36And I'm sorry...
00:41:38And I'm sorry my intrusion upset Mrs. Cody.
00:41:48This way, Inspector.
00:41:49Thank you.
00:41:52I'm so sorry for having disturbed you, madam.
00:41:54My butler is waiting to show you out.
00:41:56That's very kind of you.
00:41:57Good evening.
00:42:00Mr. Cody, goodbye and thank you again.
00:42:08You idiot!
00:42:09But, Emily...
00:42:10You wouldn't believe me.
00:42:12I told you all the passengers would be questioned.
00:42:16I organized a reception worthy of Buckingham Palace.
00:42:19I told you what to say and what not to say,
00:42:21and you walked right into his trap like a stupid schoolboy.
00:42:25But, Emily, why?
00:42:28Why put yourself into such a state?
00:42:31Why put yourself into such a state?
00:42:38He just wanted to know if I knew Silver, that's all.
00:42:42That's all?
00:42:43He just made you rattle on till you told him everything he wanted to know,
00:42:46and no doubt more.
00:42:50It's all right, he's gone.
00:42:52What are you doing here?
00:42:53Can't you see I'm speaking to your Aunt Emily?
00:42:56Leave us alone!
00:42:58I'm hard of hearing sometimes.
00:43:02Would you repeat that?
00:43:05Tom, don't overdo it.
00:43:07One of these days you'll push me too far and then...
00:43:10And then?
00:43:14Go on.
00:43:18Will you drown me?
00:43:20Or shoot me?
00:43:22Or what?
00:43:23Get out!
00:43:24Get out!
00:43:27My O.M., which one?
00:43:30Okay, I get it.
00:43:34That's enough!
00:43:41Your nephew!
00:43:43A vulgar roughneck!
00:43:44It's your fault he's here with us!
00:43:45Will you shut up?
00:43:47I must find a way to cover up everything.
00:43:50What do you mean, Emily?
00:43:52Your fairy tale about the ad in Paris.
00:44:02You know it's all a lie within the next hour.
00:44:05You know what this is?
00:44:07Unless it's one of your tricks again, sir, I would venture to say it's a datapod.
00:44:10Do you know whose it is?
00:44:11No, Mr. Cody's.
00:44:13He did his best to get it out of sight when I was there.
00:44:16Sir!
00:44:18You mean you did a...
00:44:19You mean you did a...
00:44:20Right.
00:44:21And what I'm curious about is why he wanted to keep it out of my sight.
00:44:24Yes, sir.
00:44:25Nothing here, nothing here, and still nothing here, nothing again.
00:44:29Must buy flowers for Emily's birthday.
00:44:32Nothing again.
00:44:34And here, 3rd of April, Hotel Levant.
00:44:373,000 pounds.
00:44:39What's that you said? 3rd of April, Hotel Levant?
00:44:41Look out, sir!
00:44:49Jump!
00:45:20Shame.
00:45:21I just filled her up before we left.
00:45:26I'd say without wishing to exaggerate, we'd had a close call.
00:45:29Oh, yes, indeed, sir.
00:45:30What's that?
00:45:32Now, that was to be expected.
00:45:33Oil.
00:45:35Why didn't we see that detour while we were driving down here?
00:45:39I would say that someone has it in for us.
00:45:41Yes, I have the same feeling.
00:45:43Who would know we would be taking this way this evening, besides...
00:45:46Besides Mr. Cody.
00:45:47But he must have had an accomplice to be able to deal such a low blow, if I may say so, sir.
00:45:50Right you are again. That's precisely why we're going to do some hunting.
00:45:54You know what that is? That light over there?
00:45:56No, sir.
00:45:58That's Salford Manor.
00:46:00Holmes, you go and hide behind the roadblock, but be careful not to be seen, you hear?
00:46:03I'll make a bet that somebody will come to see if we're swimming or not.
00:46:06Yes, sir, sir.
00:46:07Go ahead. Good luck.
00:46:09Same to you, sir.
00:46:17Silly panel.
00:46:48The
00:46:51The
00:46:53The
00:46:55The
00:46:59The
00:47:04The
00:47:05The
00:47:17The
00:47:36Holmes.
00:47:37Holmes, what's happened?
00:47:38What is it?
00:47:42Did something happen?
00:47:43It certainly did.
00:47:44I told you to hide, but not this way.
00:47:46Come on, then. Come on, come on.
00:47:50This grave is here for us.
00:47:52Really, sir.
00:47:53There is room for two, isn't there?
00:47:54Go on out.
00:47:59Look there.
00:48:01Yes, sir, sir.
00:48:09How come you're here, Stanley?
00:48:11Dr. Stoletti, if you don't mind.
00:48:13I'm so sorry, doctor.
00:48:14Where did you come from?
00:48:16From the chapel where I go to pray every evening.
00:48:19Alone?
00:48:20Yes.
00:48:21Is that all?
00:48:23There was an attempt to have us both murdered and Holmes was thrown into an open grave here in the park of Salford Manor.
00:48:29Unless you have a search warrant, neither of you have any right to be here.
00:48:32No, we don't.
00:48:33But I'll be back with one.
00:48:35You can be sure of that, doctor.
00:48:37A good idea.
00:48:38But right now, you'd better get out before I prefer charges.
00:48:49Inspector.
00:48:51You should consult a doctor.
00:48:54You're sick.
00:48:56Here.
00:48:59You're a victim of hallucinations.
00:49:03And it could be dangerous.
00:49:06And it could be dangerous.
00:49:15Well?
00:49:16Don't see a thing, you, Holmes?
00:49:18Nothing, sir.
00:49:19It's a good thing you were along, because I'd start thinking Stoletti was right.
00:49:22I'm sick.
00:49:23What do we do now, sir?
00:49:24We walk to the closest telephone booth, if you feel you're up to it, that is.
00:49:27Come on.
00:49:36Ah, you're both here already. Good evening.
00:49:38Well?
00:49:39Luck was against us.
00:49:42They got away?
00:49:43Yes.
00:49:44There were two.
00:49:45You should have told me that fact on the phone.
00:49:47I told poor Jocko there was only one.
00:49:50Jocko is helpless in the face of anything unexpected.
00:49:53He can cope with only one idea at a time.
00:49:55What do we do now?
00:49:56Nothing.
00:49:58They'll be back with a search warrant, but they'll find nothing, that's all.
00:50:01What do you mean, that's all?
00:50:02You'll find some way out for yourself.
00:50:04What about us?
00:50:05They'll go straight to Havelock, and we'll be the ones who pay.
00:50:08But who's to blame if they got out with the date book?
00:50:11I've always known you've had it in for us.
00:50:13Yes, I admit it.
00:50:15Your methods repel me.
00:50:16They're much too unscientific, is the word.
00:50:19Come.
00:50:20Oh.
00:50:25I regret having offended you.
00:50:29Well.
00:50:31Well.
00:50:34There's someone here who's a little too curious.
00:50:42It's the police.
00:50:43Don't be so nervous.
00:50:44Get a hold of yourself.
00:51:01We're the ones who are going to catch it on the 13th.
00:51:04And as for Stiletti, I never trusted him.
00:51:06I don't think he trusts us either.
00:51:07He doesn't?
00:51:08We must find out where he hides his key.
00:51:10I must have it, do you understand?
00:51:12Not that we've got it.
00:51:13We're managed without him.
00:51:15Imly, I...
00:51:20Well.
00:51:22That'll be all for today, I'd say.
00:51:24Thank you.
00:51:26Well.
00:51:28That'll be all for today, I'd say.
00:51:30Yes, that'll be all.
00:51:31Come.
00:51:32Oh, Mr. Cooley.
00:51:36You should also have chosen your chauffeur with greater care.
00:51:40After the attempt to get us both out of the way failed,
00:51:42my assistant, Holmes, was attacked.
00:51:48Right in the park of Salford Manor.
00:51:51Mr. Havelock.
00:51:53And what is your idea?
00:51:54Who organized all of this?
00:51:56That's just what I was going to ask you.
00:51:58Ah, I see.
00:51:59I see.
00:52:00I see.
00:52:01I see.
00:52:02I see.
00:52:03I see.
00:52:04I see.
00:52:05I see.
00:52:06I see.
00:52:07I see.
00:52:08May I ask you...
00:52:09Ah, but...
00:52:10I haven't got any idea.
00:52:12And may I ask you...
00:52:14What you were doing in the park that hour?
00:52:16Well, I was on my way to Weald House on Duty.
00:52:19Aha, Mr. Cody.
00:52:20Yes.
00:52:22You know them by chance?
00:52:23No, not by chance.
00:52:24Mr. Cody was for years a personal secretary to Lord Salford.
00:52:27And Miss Cawler, who is Mrs. Cody today,
00:52:30was the young lord's governess.
00:52:32Hm, I see.
00:52:33And they were paid enough to buy and maintain
00:52:35the kind of house they live in.
00:52:37No, Inspector, no. It's thanks to the generosity of Lord Selford, as expressed in his testament.
00:52:42Did you know that they intend to leave the country?
00:52:45Leave the country? Who? The Cody's?
00:52:48Yes, the Cody's.
00:52:52Well, I guess that's their privilege, after all.
00:52:56Yes, well, I should be going, Mr. Havelock.
00:52:59Oh, by the way, I'm going to Selford Manor tomorrow for a closer look.
00:53:02Is the euphemism to avoid the word search?
00:53:05Why do you ask?
00:53:06Oh, only to offer my services as guide and save you a great deal of time.
00:53:10Well, where and when?
00:53:12All right, let's make it at three, shall we?
00:53:14Three? That's fine. Tomorrow at three.
00:53:26We must be there, almost.
00:53:28I can't wait to see the house where I lived.
00:53:30Ever since Percy went to boarding school in Switzerland, I haven't been near Selford Manor.
00:53:34But you still have a good idea of the place, don't you?
00:53:36It's a hard place to forget. Why?
00:53:39Oh, it's because with your help, I want to try and locate a very special spot in the house.
00:53:44I see. So that's why I was invited along.
00:53:47No, it's not the only reason, Sibyl.
00:53:53What's that?
00:54:04Come on.
00:54:15What do you think can be the matter with him?
00:54:16I don't understand it.
00:54:17It doesn't look too serious.
00:54:21Mr. Havelock.
00:54:25Inspector.
00:54:29Sibyl, what am I doing here?
00:54:32You must have fainted.
00:54:33I'll help you. Here we go.
00:54:35You all right?
00:54:36Thank you.
00:54:37What happened?
00:54:39I was beginning to come back.
00:54:43My head felt a sudden pain.
00:54:45Well, let's have a look at the car.
00:54:47Would you like an aspirin? I have one in my bag.
00:54:49Thank you, my dear.
00:54:54Now, what's the...
00:54:59Well, now.
00:55:04Mr. Havelock.
00:55:06Come and look at this.
00:55:08Here's the reason for that pain you had.
00:55:11Somebody tried to murder you.
00:55:17With the stakes involved, I'm afraid we cannot be delicate at this point.
00:55:21I'm afraid so.
00:55:22I'm afraid so.
00:55:24I'm afraid so.
00:55:26I'm afraid so.
00:55:28I'm afraid so.
00:55:30I'm afraid so.
00:55:31With the stakes involved, I'm afraid we cannot be delicate in our choice of arms.
00:55:35Of course not, Emily, but I must say that I...
00:55:38We are in no position to allow ourselves any sentimentality whatsoever, my dear.
00:55:46And in the final analysis, death is the best solution.
00:55:50It's so simple, so final.
00:55:55You know, Emily,
00:55:58when you talk like that,
00:56:01I'm afraid my blood turns to ice.
00:56:06Yes, I know.
00:56:12Well, in any case, I find it very strange that Dr. Stelletti chose today to go into town.
00:56:16You did announce our arrival, I believe, Mr. Havelock.
00:56:18Of course, Inspector, and I agree his conduct is difficult to understand.
00:56:21The pit is over beside those trees to the right.
00:56:23Ah.
00:56:25Help!
00:56:26Help!
00:56:27Help!
00:56:28Yes, yes, here.
00:56:29Next to this monument.
00:56:32Ah, I should have known.
00:56:38No, I am not a victim of hallucinations, and Holmes is not half crazy either.
00:56:43Mr. Stelletti is more clever than I thought he was, I'll admit it.
00:56:46Come here.
00:56:48Wasn't there a pit here?
00:56:52Oh, naturally not.
00:56:53Look here, Inspector, I don't want to appear indiscreet, but you are looking for something special, aren't you?
00:56:58Yes, I am looking for a door which has seven locks.
00:57:00To which belong the keys you possess already.
00:57:02Correct.
00:57:03Well, I'm sorry, but there I can't be of help.
00:57:05I would like to see the chapel now, sir.
00:57:06But please, with pleasure. I'm at your service. This way.
00:57:24Percy and I used to get so frightened down here.
00:57:26We used to think it was haunted.
00:57:29I can understand that feeling all right.
00:57:34And what's in that direction?
00:57:36The crypt. That's where an eternal flame is kept burning.
00:57:40Right, Bert?
00:57:54Well?
00:57:56Do you see anything, Inspector?
00:57:59No, not yet.
00:58:01And still I have the distinct feeling that we are very close to something interesting.
00:58:07Well?
00:58:09Do you see anything, Inspector?
00:58:11No, not yet.
00:58:13And still I have the distinct feeling that we are very close to something interesting.
00:58:37Miss Langdown.
00:58:39Coming.
00:58:45Hello.
00:58:48Who? Scotland Yard.
00:58:50Miss Langdown, I have a message for you from Inspector Martin.
00:58:53He would like you to get a hold of him.
00:58:55I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:56I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:57I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:58I'm afraid I can't.
00:58:59I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:00I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:01I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:02I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:03I'm afraid I can't.
00:59:04I have a message for you from Inspector Martin.
00:59:05He would like you to get over here at once.
00:59:08The third room, 211.
00:59:10Oh, he just said to tell you he'll be waiting.
00:59:13He wants you to take a taxi as fast as you can.
00:59:15It's really urgent.
00:59:17Yes, thank you.
00:59:27You wouldn't hurt Miss Langdown, would you, Emily?
00:59:30You're spying again.
00:59:32Naturally.
00:59:35And you might as well know I won't go along with it.
00:59:38Strange, I don't recall asking for your help.
00:59:41Do you mind?
00:59:48It's true I'm not worth much.
00:59:50And I gotta have a lot of cash.
00:59:52And when I get money, it's mostly on a shorty deal.
00:59:55But if you've got ideas for Miss Langdown, I put my foot down, get me?
00:59:58You're still in love with her?
00:59:59Well, I feel if I has nothing to do with it.
01:00:01And what does?
01:00:03I don't wanna be hanged by the neck until I'm dead, to use the classical way of saying it.
01:00:09Tom, I'm warning you.
01:00:13Thanks, same to you.
01:00:15What does that mean?
01:00:18You want me to tell you why you took me into your house with such Christian spirit?
01:00:23When I was let out on probation?
01:00:25Huh?
01:00:27No?
01:00:29You wanna know why?
01:00:33Because you're scared.
01:00:35You're real scared.
01:00:37Scared that one day I'll make you admit the truth about my brother, the poor slob.
01:00:41Johnny is dead.
01:00:42Yes, I know. He drowned.
01:00:45That's your story.
01:00:47But I don't swallow that stuff, Ann Emily.
01:00:49I never swallowed it.
01:00:52And I never will.
01:01:03Hey, taxi!
01:01:07To Scotland Yard, please.
01:01:33Where are you going? You couldn't have understood.
01:01:35Take Westminster Bridge, please, to Scotland Yard.
01:01:39Can't you hear?
01:01:43Stop the car. I want to get out.
01:02:03Mmm.
01:02:10She hasn't quite come to.
01:02:12That's strange. We didn't give her a strong dose.
01:02:15Should I have...
01:02:16Leave her to me. Go downstairs.
01:02:28Mmm.
01:02:32Mmm.
01:02:43Miss Cawler!
01:02:45Miss Cawler, how did I get here? What are you doing here?
01:02:48Help me, please. I was kidnapped. I don't know why. Help me, please.
01:02:51Sit down over there.
01:02:54But, Miss Cawler...
01:02:55Sit down.
01:02:57What do you want of me?
01:02:59Where's Inspector Marvin?
01:03:00Don't ask questions. Just do as you're told.
01:03:05I want to get out.
01:03:07Let me out or I'll scream till somebody hears me.
01:03:11Help!
01:03:23What do you want of me?
01:03:31Come here.
01:03:39Sit down.
01:03:44Now take this pen.
01:03:49Write.
01:03:50I, Sybil Langdown, write.
01:03:56I, Sybil Langdown, write.
01:04:00Langdown.
01:04:01As per this statement,
01:04:04abandon everything I possess.
01:04:08Abandon everything I possess.
01:04:12No.
01:04:13I won't write that.
01:04:14Write.
01:04:17No.
01:04:23No?
01:04:27Come here!
01:04:29Look at our little pets. They're so affectionate.
01:04:32Too bad they're poisonous.
01:04:34No!
01:04:35No, please! No, please! Not that!
01:04:38Then sit down and write.
01:04:46As per this statement,
01:04:49abandon everything I possess.
01:04:52But I possess nothing. It's not my salary.
01:04:54Including all donations, other values and legacies,
01:04:59that I might one day become heir to
01:05:02and name in my place
01:05:04Mrs. Henry Cody,
01:05:07nay, Cawler.
01:05:11But Percy's beneficiary...
01:05:12That's not your worry, is it?
01:05:15No.
01:05:17Do anything with me, but I won't sign that. Never.
01:05:19Never!
01:05:24Never.
01:05:48Come here.
01:05:54Ah!
01:06:03This house was once the mill for Selford Manor.
01:06:06And down there, the mill wheels.
01:06:09When anything falls in, it stays for good.
01:06:21Better think it over.
01:06:23I'll come back for your answer.
01:06:42He's coming! He's coming!
01:06:53Shall I call?
01:07:23Yes.
01:07:54Oh!
01:07:56Oh!
01:08:22Emily!
01:08:25Emily!
01:08:34Emily!
01:08:55Oh!
01:09:25Oh!
01:09:45This is Tom Cawler.
01:09:47I want to talk to Inspector Martin.
01:09:49The Codys were just murdered.
01:09:51And Sybil is...
01:09:56Oh!
01:09:57Oh!
01:10:01Hello.
01:10:02Inspector Martin speaking.
01:10:04Hello.
01:10:05Hello, who's speaking, please?
01:10:07Hello, what is it?
01:10:09This is Scotland Yard. Inspector Martin.
01:10:11Hello.
01:10:13Hello!
01:10:25Hello!
01:10:51Hey, come on, take my hand!
01:10:53Quick, come on!
01:11:24We got to get out of here!
01:11:34You go ahead, I'll let him off!
01:11:36No, I won't let you!
01:11:37Do as I say! Come on!
01:11:53No!
01:12:24Meow!
01:12:25Meow!
01:12:26Meow!
01:12:27Meow!
01:12:53Oh!
01:12:54Oh!
01:12:55Oh!
01:12:56Oh!
01:12:57Oh!
01:12:58Oh!
01:12:59Oh!
01:13:00Oh!
01:13:01Oh!
01:13:02Oh!
01:13:03Oh!
01:13:04Oh!
01:13:05Oh!
01:13:06Oh!
01:13:07Oh!
01:13:08Oh!
01:13:09Oh!
01:13:10Oh!
01:13:11Oh!
01:13:12Oh!
01:13:13Oh!
01:13:14Oh!
01:13:15Oh!
01:13:16Oh!
01:13:17Oh!
01:13:18Oh!
01:13:19Oh!
01:13:20Oh!
01:13:21Oh!
01:13:22Oh!
01:13:23Well, you're Miss Langdown, if I'm not mistaken.
01:13:26I'm Dr. Stiletto.
01:13:27Please, you have to help me.
01:13:29I was being followed.
01:13:30You'll be quite safe here. Please come in.
01:13:36Yes, there's obviously something strange going on.
01:13:40But don't worry, we'll figure it all out soon.
01:13:42In the meantime, let's get you someplace safe.
01:13:52Through here, Miss Langdown.
01:13:58Through here, please, Miss Langdown.
01:14:19Sir!
01:14:20Yes, what is it?
01:14:22Go on, go on searching.
01:14:23Even if you turn the house upside down, I'm sure those keys must be here somewhere.
01:14:26You'll certainly find them.
01:14:27Right, sir.
01:14:28Sir!
01:14:29Yes, what is it?
01:14:30Look here.
01:14:31These are Miss Langdown's things which I found in the attic.
01:14:33She was locked in there.
01:14:34But she must have been helped to escape.
01:14:37What did you say?
01:14:38Yes, sir.
01:14:39There was a ladder set against the house.
01:14:40And in the garden, we found her handkerchief.
01:14:42S.L.
01:14:43Yes.
01:14:44She might still be here.
01:14:45Yes, sir.
01:14:46Brown found footprints in the garden on the path which leads to Selford Manor.
01:14:50Oh.
01:15:01Yes.
01:15:02Yes, put him on.
01:15:03Hurry.
01:15:05Hello, Martin.
01:15:06Yes.
01:15:07What is it?
01:15:10Murdered?
01:15:13Oh.
01:15:14Well, it's two we don't have to worry about.
01:15:17What?
01:15:19Who?
01:15:20Miss Langdown.
01:15:21Yes, sir.
01:15:22Yes.
01:15:23Yes, she's here somewhere.
01:15:24I know it.
01:15:25What?
01:15:26I don't know how she came here.
01:15:27No.
01:15:28Not yet.
01:15:29She's in grave danger.
01:15:30What?
01:15:31Oh, yes.
01:15:32Yes, indeed.
01:15:33I thought so.
01:15:35Yes.
01:15:36Yes.
01:15:40May I ask you a favor?
01:15:42Would you get out here as fast as you can make it and bring the keys with you?
01:15:45I'm hoping to open the door tonight.
01:15:49All right.
01:16:15In there, Jocko.
01:16:19In there.
01:16:29Don't be frightened.
01:16:30There's no need, Miss Langdown.
01:16:33Jocko's quite harmless.
01:16:35Good.
01:16:36Bravo, Jocko.
01:16:37Good boy.
01:16:38Now get to your place.
01:16:50Come, Miss Langdown.
01:16:52Sit down, won't you?
01:17:01You see, Jocko is one of my very first experiments.
01:17:08He used to be just as normal as Tommy over there.
01:17:11But he was chosen to be the subject for one of the very first grafts of the pituitary gland
01:17:16in an attempt to modify his cells to make a giant of him.
01:17:19Unfortunately, as you see, it was at the expense of his intellect.
01:17:27Ah.
01:17:29Our friend seems to be coming, too.
01:17:39Why have you locked him in there?
01:17:41That man helped me.
01:17:42I wouldn't be here without him.
01:17:43He shall be repaid.
01:17:44He'll be the subject for the experiment I shall do next.
01:17:46You go back to your place.
01:17:49Or shall Jocko help you out?
01:17:52Do what he says.
01:17:53Please.
01:17:55That maniac's capable of anything.
01:18:00That's more reasonable, Miss Langdown.
01:18:04Well, my friend.
01:18:05Even though this is not the choice moment for a family reunion.
01:18:10Meet your brother, Johnny.
01:18:13Or should I say, what I've made of him.
01:18:18What do you think?
01:18:21You swine, you.
01:18:23You monster, I'll make you pay for this!
01:18:38For years,
01:18:39I had to limit all my experiments to operating on animals.
01:18:48Johnny arrived too soon.
01:18:51Now my work's perfected.
01:18:54This time I will transform
01:18:58a human being into a genius.
01:19:05If my operation succeeds,
01:19:07when the operation succeeds, Miss Langdown,
01:19:12the world will see a new race of titans, geniuses, supermen, yes.
01:19:18Beethovens.
01:19:20Shakespeare's.
01:19:22Einstein's.
01:19:27Thanks to Dr. Antonio Staletti.
01:19:38Ah, Sir John.
01:19:40Are you here too, Mr. Havelock? It's just as well you came along.
01:19:42Good evening, Inspector.
01:19:43Good evening.
01:19:44Sir John told me about the awful death of the Cody's.
01:19:46Yes, however, it's no more awful than the death of all their victims.
01:19:49You mean you think Cody's responsible for the murder of Livingston and Silver too?
01:19:54I more than think it. I have proof of it. Holmes, where's the book?
01:19:57You mean the one on...
01:19:58No, no, the one we found today.
01:19:59Here, sir.
01:20:00Thanks.
01:20:01Cody had an old habit from when he used to work as Lord Selford's secretary.
01:20:05And right-hand man to keep notes on everything.
01:20:09Fair Livingston, round-trip London, Zurich.
01:20:12Cleaning of grey suit, seven shillings.
01:20:14Plane ticket, direct London, Lisbon, and return.
01:20:17That's what might be called notes to murder.
01:20:19I can't bring myself to believe any of all this.
01:20:22Where are all these mysterious keys, Inspector?
01:20:25You can believe me or not, Mr. Havelock, but you'll see all of them.
01:20:28And tonight.
01:20:30All seven.
01:20:31Ah.
01:20:32All seven.
01:20:33Ah.
01:20:35Will you bring the watchman here, please?
01:20:42You shall now see the way the well-known Professor Pavlov of Moscow grafted a dog's head successfully.
01:20:57Tom.
01:21:00Tommy.
01:21:02Johnny.
01:21:05Johnny, come help me, come.
01:21:08Johnny.
01:21:21Go back to your place, Jacko.
01:21:22Johnny.
01:21:28Johnny, come help me.
01:21:30Johnny.
01:21:32Johnny.
01:21:37Tom.
01:21:39Help me.
01:21:41Jacko, you go back to your place!
01:21:43Johnny.
01:21:45Help me.
01:21:50Jacko!
01:22:03What's going on here?
01:22:07Come on, come on.
01:22:08Come on.
01:22:12Now, where's it coming from?
01:22:25Johnny.
01:22:27Johnny.
01:22:29Johnny.
01:22:31Johnny.
01:22:40You murderer.
01:22:42You murderer!
01:22:45Anyone who interferes with my mission, anyone, shall be destroyed.
01:22:51And now get back to your place.
01:22:53Jacko should convince you I'm serious.
01:22:56Go on.
01:23:00Go on.
01:23:24Get out.
01:23:26Hands in the air.
01:23:27Go on.
01:23:30Go on.
01:23:35I'm innocent.
01:23:37I'm innocent.
01:23:39How is it this man is speaking now, Mr. Havelock?
01:23:41How would I have any idea, Inspector?
01:23:44I do seem to recall that many years ago he suffered a severe shock.
01:23:48Perhaps this new shock brought back his power of speech.
01:23:50Where is Taletti?
01:23:52You heard me.
01:23:53Talk to him.
01:23:54Allow me, Inspector.
01:23:57Bert.
01:23:59Don't worry. It's all right.
01:24:01Nobody is going to hurt you.
01:24:04You can tell me.
01:24:06Where is Dr. Taletti?
01:24:29Look here, Miss Langdown.
01:24:37Here's what Professor Pavlov obtained.
01:24:40Only the dog died after a few days.
01:24:43I've gotten further.
01:24:45Much further.
01:24:50I shall not be able to help you.
01:24:53I shall not be able to help you.
01:24:56I shall graft a man's head on a monkey.
01:24:59And I shall do it today, Miss Langdown.
01:25:03And I want you to watch as witness to a moment of history.
01:25:09You realize what the success of this operation means, don't you?
01:25:16No, you couldn't.
01:25:20The possibility of rendering genius immortal.
01:25:23By nourishing the brilliant mind with a young organism.
01:25:28And one day...
01:25:41Stop or I'll shoot!
01:25:47Help!
01:25:54Help!
01:26:02Help!
01:26:15Get a move on.
01:26:18Go ahead. After you, sir.
01:26:24No!
01:26:28Ali!
01:26:31No!
01:26:33No!
01:26:54Nobody move.
01:26:56How dare you interrupt me like this?
01:26:58When everything is ready.
01:27:00When the moment has come for a great doctor to show the world he's a genius.
01:27:04Get out!
01:27:07Mr. Taletti.
01:27:09You are not a great doctor.
01:27:16You were never anything but an intern.
01:27:18The medical association rejected you.
01:27:21You're nothing but a charlatan.
01:27:27What did you say?
01:27:30I?
01:27:33A charlatan?
01:27:37I?
01:27:39A charlatan?
01:27:42I?
01:27:52A charlatan?
01:28:00Yes, Taletti.
01:28:03You are a charlatan.
01:28:09Yes.
01:28:12Charlatan!
01:28:14Charlatan!
01:28:16Charlatan!
01:28:18Charlatan!
01:28:38My poor child. You must have been frightened half to death.
01:28:41He gave him an injection.
01:28:43Friend, see that he gets to a hospital.
01:28:58Sir! Sir!
01:29:00I saw the moves.
01:29:02They were lying on the table.
01:29:04Sir John, you brought the others, didn't you?
01:29:06Yes, I did.
01:29:08This key is number three, belonging to Lopez Silva.
01:29:10Then the two which were Mr. and Mrs. Cody's are number four and number five.
01:29:13Yes.
01:29:15And this key is the sixth, belonging to Antonio Taletti.
01:29:18No doubt. And what about the seventh?
01:29:20Don't worry. We shall have it shortly.
01:29:22The person with the seventh key is here in this room among us.
01:29:26He was very clever and had us all fooled for a long time.
01:29:30But as in the case of all criminals, he made a few stupid mistakes.
01:29:35And betrayed himself.
01:29:36Hands up!
01:29:44Hands up!
01:30:01Sir John, give the keys to Beth, please.
01:30:04Do it, sir.
01:30:06He would shoot.
01:30:08You are a better judge of character than I thought, Inspector.
01:30:12You forgot the two keys you brought, sir John.
01:30:19Thank you.
01:30:21Bert, bring them here.
01:30:27In my pocket.
01:30:30Get back.
01:30:32Get back!
01:30:36Get back!
01:30:42The day you'll be hanged, have a look. I'll put a cross on my calendar.
01:30:46I'm afraid that day will never come, sir John.
01:30:48I'm sorry, I must resort to violence.
01:30:50I was hoping that this would come to a quiet end.
01:30:53But in the words of Shakespeare,
01:30:55the rest is silence.
01:30:58No.
01:31:00No, don't shoot. Don't shoot.
01:31:02I don't want to die. Please!
01:31:07I don't want to die.
01:31:33Take him away.
01:31:34The other one, too.
01:31:36Your key, please, Mr. Havelock.
01:31:38You're very clever, Inspector.
01:31:40That's what I'm paid for.
01:31:47So.
01:31:49The seventh key, sir.
01:31:51Great work, Martin. You did a brilliant job.
01:31:53No, sir. It was luck, sir.
01:31:55I should confess that I was convinced the seventh key was in Havelock's safe.
01:31:58I was afraid we'd have to wait for it.
01:32:04Sir.
01:32:06You dropped your glove.
01:32:34I'm sorry.
01:33:05Sybil, get back.
01:33:07Don't look.
01:33:09You'd better go wait for us upstairs.
01:33:11Go on.
01:33:35Who is that?
01:33:40Lord Percy Silver.
01:33:45He was murdered?
01:33:47By the owners of the seven keys.
01:33:50Then brought back to life again by you, Havelock.
01:33:54You sent Tom Caller as Lord Percy to travel all over the world,
01:33:59making payments to him regularly.
01:34:00As only you could do legally.
01:34:02And each payment was divided among the partners.
01:34:04How did you know that?
01:34:07Tom Caller was photographed on the balcony of the Hotel Levant.
01:34:10That was a mistake.
01:34:12Ah, but there were others, Mr. Havelock.
01:34:14The worst was the fake attempt on your life
01:34:16in order to steer suspicion from yourself.
01:34:18We were able to figure out it would take only five miles
01:34:21for the carbon monoxide gas to harm you.
01:34:24And not 20 miles, which is what you told us.
01:34:27However, you were right.
01:34:28I wanted all the money for myself.
01:34:31All to myself, without sharing with the others.
01:34:34We all made that error.
01:34:36Yes, I'm afraid we run into a lot of cases similar to this,
01:34:40which eliminate themselves.
01:34:42Because those involved eliminate each other.
01:34:45And that constitutes the end.
