The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959) delivers a chilling and atmospheric adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary novel. Peter Cushing stars as the sharp-minded Sherlock Holmes, with Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville. As Holmes investigates the deathly curse haunting the Baskerville family on the fog-shrouded moors, ancient legends and deadly secrets collide. A Hammer Films production blending classic detective work with gothic horror, this is one of the most iconic adaptations of the Holmes canon.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00Know then the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
00:01:17Know then that the Great Hall of Baskervilles was once held by Sir Hugo of that name.
00:01:23A wild, profane, and godless man.
00:01:27An evil man in truth.
00:01:29For there was with him a certain ugly and cruel humor that made his name a byword in the county.
00:01:37My friend learned swiftly.
00:01:39Aye.
00:01:41He's already learned to fly like a wildfowl, and now he swims like a waterfall.
00:01:51Shall we see how he roasts?
00:01:53By the time that I desire, our friend will know better than to condemn the sport of his master.
00:02:01Come on out, scoward.
00:02:14Here he comes, Sir Hugo.
00:02:17Here he comes, Sir Hugo.
00:02:19Now our waterfowl has become guinea-fowl.
00:02:30Guinea pig more likely.
00:02:32A bird or beast will still make him sing like a nightingale.
00:02:36No, sir.
00:02:37This may teach you to criticize my pleasures.
00:02:42If it were anyone but my own daughter, Master.
00:02:44You should be proud that a basketball should so much as look at your miserable child.
00:03:01No, no.
00:03:02The game was spoiled before the wager was laid.
00:03:04Away!
00:03:05Away!
00:03:05Away!
00:03:06Away!
00:03:06Do not charge me, Sir, as I pray you.
00:03:08Watch this!
00:03:09I will not pay.
00:03:11Away!
00:03:12Well, if I must, I must.
00:03:16But not in gold.
00:03:18In gold?
00:03:19In time.
00:03:20In time.
00:03:20With a plaything I was keeping for myself.
00:03:26I accept.
00:03:28Where is the girl?
00:03:29Girl.
00:03:30What talk is this of a girl I know of no girl?
00:03:33You shall see her at once.
00:03:38And you shall see her before Sir Richard bursts with passion.
00:03:44Seat with the Dovino fighting among your herd of rams.
00:03:47And you shall see her at once.
00:03:48And you shall see her at once.
00:03:49And you shall see her at once.
00:03:50And you shall see her at once.
00:03:51And you shall see her at once.
00:03:52And you shall see her at once.
00:03:53And you shall see her at once.
00:03:54And you shall see her at once.
00:03:55And you shall see her at once.
00:03:56And you shall see her at once.
00:03:57And you shall see her at once.
00:03:58And you shall see her at once.
00:03:59And you shall see her at once.
00:04:00And you shall see her at once.
00:04:01And you shall see her at once.
00:04:02And you shall see her at once.
00:04:03And you shall see her at once.
00:04:04And you shall see her at once.
00:04:05And you shall see her at once.
00:04:06And you shall see her at once.
00:04:07And you shall see her at once.
00:04:08And you shall see her at once.
00:04:09Let's go.
00:04:39The bitch has got her way.
00:04:45What does she think I am that she does this to me?
00:04:49Damn her, damn her!
00:04:54I have her now.
00:04:56You there, let loose the pack.
00:04:59And you, my hunter at the door.
00:05:02He set the hounds on her.
00:05:03But, sir, you can't do that.
00:05:06Bounds! Let loose the pack!
00:05:09Oh, Jezza, my friend, you cannot do this.
00:05:37I'll get her!
00:05:39May the hands of hell take me if I can't hand her down!
00:06:07I'll get her!
00:06:37Come on, will you?
00:07:02What's the matter, will you?
00:07:03Come on, will you?
00:07:07Come on, will you?
00:07:37Come on, will you?
00:08:07Come on, will you?
00:08:08Come on, will you?
00:08:09Come on, will you?
00:08:14Come on, will you?
00:08:21Now, you witch!
00:08:51And so, the curse of Sir Hugo...
00:09:21came upon the Baskervilles...
00:09:23in the shape of a hound from hell...
00:09:25forever to bring misfortune to the Baskerville family.
00:09:29Therefore, take heed...
00:09:31and beware the moor in those dark hours...
00:09:34when evil is exalted...
00:09:36else you will surely meet...
00:09:38the hound of hell...
00:09:40the hound of the Baskervilles.
00:09:43So ends the legend.
00:09:46And what, may I ask?
00:09:48What do you think of that, Mr. Holmes?
00:10:00There must be hundreds of similar folk stories...
00:10:02I fail to see why I should find this one of singular interest.
00:10:05What do you say, Watson?
00:10:07Well, I'm sure Dr. Mortimer's intentions are for the best...
00:10:12but there seems little to be gained from what he's told us.
00:10:15I had hoped, sir, that the facts I have laid before you...
00:10:18might have intrigued you as a detective.
00:10:20I was obviously mistaken.
00:10:22Good ladies.
00:10:24Dr. Mortimer, there was something more important...
00:10:26that brought you all the way from Devonshire to Baker Street.
00:10:29Something that occurred on Dartmoor on Friday the 13th of June.
00:10:32You've known about it all the time, then?
00:10:35I know nothing, except that you live on Dartmoor.
00:10:37That you have a copy of the Devon County Chronicle in your briefcase dated June the 14th.
00:10:41That newspaper is published on Saturdays...
00:10:43but goes to press on Thursdays.
00:10:44You've kept it for something vitally important.
00:10:46There is nothing of particular interest in the headlines...
00:10:48therefore it must be in the stock press.
00:10:50So, whatever it was happened on the Friday.
00:10:52Friday the 13th of June.
00:10:54But this is remarkable.
00:10:56Superficial.
00:10:57There's nothing remarkable about using one's eyes.
00:10:59Now, sir, would you be prepared to give us the relevant facts?
00:11:03Ah, yes.
00:11:04Yes, under the circumstances, I think I would.
00:11:07You see.
00:11:09Well, this is just the stock press.
00:11:11Devonshire Knight found dead.
00:11:13The body of Sir Charles Baskerville discovered on Dartmoor early today.
00:11:17Foul play not suspected.
00:11:19Of course, the account in the next edition is much fuller.
00:11:22Where are we?
00:11:24Yes, here we are.
00:11:26The death of Sir Charles Baskerville has caused much sadness in the small village of Grimpen, Dartmoor.
00:11:31Dr. Richard Mortimer, a well-known Devonshire personality, said today that...
00:11:35If you'll pardon me, Dr. Mortimer, I want just the plain facts in your own words.
00:11:41Please.
00:11:42Very well.
00:11:44The plain facts of the matter are that a fortnight ago, Sir Charles Baskerville was found lying dead on the moor.
00:11:50Who found him?
00:11:51His servant, Barrymore.
00:11:53He and his wife are housekeepers up at Baskerville Hall.
00:11:56He fetched me at once and took me straight back to the body.
00:11:59Where was the body?
00:12:00Somewhere on Dartmoor, I know, but exactly where?
00:12:02It's a very large place.
00:12:03Near the abbey ruins up on the hill.
00:12:05Not far from Baskerville Hall.
00:12:07The place where Sir Hugo died in the legend.
00:12:10And the circumstances were exactly the same.
00:12:13You mean that Sir Charles had been attacked?
00:12:16That his throat had been torn out?
00:12:18Oh, no, no, no.
00:12:19No, the body was untouched.
00:12:21But his face...
00:12:23Never in all my medical career have I seen such a look of horror on a dead person.
00:12:29Sir Charles must have been terrified when he died.
00:12:32But he was alone.
00:12:34The strange thing was, there were no footprints, Mr. Holmes.
00:12:38That cannot be quite true, can it?
00:12:40There were the servant Barrymore's, for instance, your own, and Sir Charles's?
00:12:43Oh, yes, of course.
00:12:44But what I meant to say was, there were no other footprints.
00:12:47Facts are only of value when they're clear, concise, and correct, Dr. Mortimer.
00:12:51Pray continue.
00:12:52And there was another strange thing.
00:12:55Sir Charles must have been tiptoeing back to Baskerville Hall when he died.
00:12:59I could tell that because the footmark showed only the toes of his boots.
00:13:03There were no heel marks.
00:13:05I'm something of an archaeologist in my spare time, and so I'm used to looking for the extraordinary.
00:13:10You have not yet told us what Sir Charles died of before you do so.
00:13:14I suggest it was heart failure.
00:13:16Well, the inquest found that he died of arteriosclerosis, with disease of the coronary archivists.
00:13:22A condition of the heart that can lead to heart failure.
00:13:28Yes, I think it must be hereditary of the Baskervilles.
00:13:32They all seem to suffer from the same weakness.
00:13:35Is there a successor to the family title?
00:13:37Yes, Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:13:39He's due to arrive in London tonight from Johannesburg.
00:13:44Why have you come to me, Dr. Mortimer, when you really don't believe that I can help you?
00:13:48I don't think I know what you mean.
00:13:50I think you do.
00:13:52Excuse me.
00:13:54Although you knew Sir Charles died of natural causes, you've implied that he met a more horrible death than he might have encountered this hound of hell, the curse of the Baskervilles.
00:14:03Do you really believe that legend?
00:14:05There are many things in life and death that we do not understand, Mr. Holmes.
00:14:09Then I suggest you might have done better to have consulted a priest instead of a detective.
00:14:12Do you imagine that I can influence the powers of darkness?
00:14:15Of course not.
00:14:16But I thought you might prevent Sir Henry from going into danger.
00:14:19My dear sir, it's an evil curse on the family.
00:14:21It can be just as powerful in London as in Devontire.
00:14:24Where will he be staying?
00:14:25At the Northumberland Hotel.
00:14:27Does this mean, then, that you will investigate the matter?
00:14:30I have not said so.
00:14:31My commitments are heavy.
00:14:32I beg of you, Mr. Holmes, this is a matter of life and death.
00:14:36Well, there can be no harm done by my seeing the man.
00:14:39Shall we say 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the hotel?
00:14:42Good.
00:14:43That will suit adequately.
00:14:45Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
00:14:47You will not find me ungenerous in the matter of fees.
00:14:50My professional charges are upon a fixed scale.
00:14:53I do not vary them except when I remit them altogether.
00:14:57Good day.
00:14:58Good day, Mr. Holmes.
00:15:03Thank you, Doctor.
00:15:04Not at all, Doctor.
00:15:06Good day, Doctor Watson.
00:15:14Well, ha!
00:15:15I must say, you would never cease to surprise me, Holmes.
00:15:18First you tear the man apart, and then you say that you'll help him.
00:15:21Oh, dear Watson, you ought to know me better by now.
00:15:23I had to burst the balloon, deflect the man's pomposity,
00:15:25to find one significant clue.
00:15:27Ah, I saw nothing of significance in anything he said.
00:15:29I'm surprised you bothered with the man.
00:15:31Nevertheless, one important point did emerge.
00:15:33Didn't you notice anything other than what he told us?
00:15:35Well, anything odd I noticed was when he said that Sir Charles was tiptoeing about Dartmoor in the middle of the night.
00:15:41That's just it, Watson.
00:15:42Well done, my boy.
00:15:43But he wasn't tiptoeing.
00:15:44He was running.
00:15:45Running for his life.
00:15:46Running in panic until he burst his heart.
00:15:49Now, would you mind sorting out a large-scale method of Dartmoor, my dear fellow,
00:15:52while I find some more tobacco?
00:15:53This, I think, is a two-pipe problem.
00:16:06Come in.
00:16:10So you finally managed to get here?
00:16:12I was not aware that we had kept you.
00:16:15Kept me?
00:16:16I sent for you over twenty minutes ago.
00:16:18Well, I think, perhaps, you've made a mistake.
00:16:21Yes, I've made a mistake, all right.
00:16:22The mistake I made was never coming to this hotel.
00:16:24What have you been able to find out about my other boot?
00:16:27They were both here when I put them out to be cleaned last night.
00:16:29Nobody knows.
00:16:30But nobody knows.
00:16:31Porter, the maid, the boot boy.
00:16:33Nobody in this hotel of yours knows where the other one's gone to.
00:16:37You're the manager.
00:16:38They have to be good enough to tell me just what you do with all your boots.
00:16:41I'm a few minutes later, I'm afraid.
00:16:43Those confounded horse buses.
00:16:45However, I see you both made each other's acquaintance,
00:16:48so we might as well get down to business, eh?
00:16:50We have not yet been given an opportunity to introduce ourselves.
00:16:53Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:16:54Please let me.
00:16:55Mr. Henry, let me introduce Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
00:16:58Dr. Watson, there's Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:17:00I'm afraid you're a little late, Mortimer.
00:17:02I've already managed to make quite a fool of myself.
00:17:07Gentlemen, I must ask you to accept my apologies.
00:17:09Dr. Watson, Mr. Holmes.
00:17:11How do you do?
00:17:12Very glad to meet you, Buzz.
00:17:13I'm sorry if I've embarrassed you.
00:17:14Please say no more about it.
00:17:15It was quite understandable.
00:17:16Yes, indeed.
00:17:17I hope that the missing boot will turn up very soon.
00:17:20So do I.
00:17:21I can understand somebody wanting to steal a pair of boots, but one...
00:17:25Well, there it is.
00:17:27Please sit down, gentlemen.
00:17:28Oh, thank you.
00:17:31Now, Mr. Holmes.
00:17:32Dr. Mortimer has no doubt explained why he's asked us to come here.
00:17:36He has, and I may as well tell you I consider him to have been somewhat hasty in asking for your advice.
00:17:41Oh, I'm sure it was only to protect your interests.
00:17:44He has told you of the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
00:17:47Yes, but I don't attach any importance to that sort of old wives' tale.
00:17:50A man out of my own heart.
00:17:52You intend to go down to Devonshire and live at Baskerville Hall?
00:17:55I've already come a very long way, Mr. Holmes, to do exactly that, and nothing is going to stop me.
00:18:00You can understand that, surely?
00:18:01I can indeed.
00:18:02The estate must be worth a vast amount of money.
00:18:05Exactly how much, Dr. Mortimer?
00:18:06You will forgive me if I ask what may seem a very personal question.
00:18:09Of course.
00:18:10Well, when everything's settled up, I suppose close on a million pounds.
00:18:16Did anyone else benefit under Sir Charles's will?
00:18:19Yes.
00:18:20He left the Barrymores a thousand pounds, which I thought was rather too generous.
00:18:25And I myself received something.
00:18:27How much?
00:18:28Come, Mr. Holmes, is this really necessary?
00:18:30I would not have asked otherwise.
00:18:32Very well.
00:18:33He left me 40,000 pounds.
00:18:36But then you see, I was Sir Charles's best friend.
00:18:39Were there no other relatives?
00:18:41No.
00:18:42Sir Henry is the last of the Baskervilles.
00:18:45That's why I'm so anxious to safeguard his interests.
00:18:48Oh, very wise.
00:18:49One thing is certain, Sir Henry.
00:18:51On no account must you go down to Devonshire alone.
00:18:54Well, that's all taken care of.
00:18:55Dr. Mortimer's coming with me.
00:18:57Dr. Mortimer will have his traxes to attend to.
00:18:59I can look after myself, Mr. Holmes.
00:19:01I must impress upon you that I believe your life to be in some considerable danger.
00:19:06Now, look, Mr. Holmes, if you attach so much importance to this, why don't you come down to Dartmoor with me today?
00:19:11You can pack a bag before the train leaves.
00:19:13You're going today?
00:19:14I can't possibly leave town until the end of the week at least.
00:19:17Watson.
00:19:18Yes.
00:19:19You're free at the moment, aren't you?
00:19:21Well, yes, I am.
00:19:23If you think I could do the job.
00:19:25You're a very man for it.
00:19:26That's settled then.
00:19:27You'll go down with them.
00:19:28Go keep in touch by telegram.
00:19:30Sir Henry.
00:19:31I am not a man to overestimate danger.
00:19:34But I must insist upon one thing.
00:19:36Under no circumstances are you to venture out onto the moor alone at night.
00:19:43Well, very well.
00:19:45If things have gone as far as this, I'll do as you say for the moment.
00:19:47But I'm not yet convinced that I need the services of a detective at all.
00:19:53Unless it's helped me find my other boot.
00:19:56Sir Henry.
00:19:57Keep perfectly still.
00:19:59If you value your life.
00:20:01Move your head.
00:20:14Carefully.
00:20:15Move your head.
00:20:26Carefully.
00:20:28I...
00:20:29can't...
00:20:30must.
00:20:45Keep it to me now, Holmes.
00:20:49No, we've got the hit.
00:20:51Grab him, off my crates.
00:20:55What?
00:21:01What a filthy thing.
00:21:03Horrible.
00:21:04We've had a lucky escape, but we must make certain never to be caught with our guard again.
00:21:09You're suggesting that that thing was put in there deliberately?
00:21:12The powers of evil can take many forms.
00:21:16Remember that, Sir Henry, when you're at Baskerville Hall.
00:21:19Do as the legend tells, and avoid them more when the forces of darkness are exalted.
00:21:42Are you sure you don't want us to take you into the village, Mortimer?
00:21:51Quite sure.
00:21:52It'll only take you out of your way, whereas it's only a short walk across the moor.
00:21:56You'd be better off to go along with us, Doctor.
00:21:58Kindly wait until you're spoken to, Perkins, and get on with what you're doing.
00:22:01Whatever you say, Sir.
00:22:02But don't blame me if you get your throat cut.
00:22:04What are you talking about, man?
00:22:06There's been an escape.
00:22:08An escape?
00:22:08When?
00:22:09Night before last.
00:22:10Man named Selden.
00:22:11Nasty customer, from all accounts.
00:22:14What's all this about, Mortimer?
00:22:15Oh, forgive me, Sir Henry.
00:22:16You wouldn't know about it.
00:22:17One of our largest prisons, commonly called Dartmoor, lies only seven miles across the moor.
00:22:22It appears that one of the prisoners has broken out.
00:22:25Selden.
00:22:26Yes, I remember the case.
00:22:28He murdered a number of street women.
00:22:31I thought you hanged people for murder in this country.
00:22:33Oh, there was some talk of him being insane.
00:22:35Oh, they sentenced him to life imprisonment instead.
00:22:38Won't do him no good, though, sir, escape him.
00:22:41He'll only starve himself to death out there.
00:22:43Or something worse.
00:22:44What do you mean by that?
00:22:46Why, nothing, sir.
00:22:48Just my foolishness.
00:22:51I feel you should let us take you into the village, Mortimer.
00:22:53He might be anywhere out there.
00:22:54Don't you worry about me.
00:22:55I can look after myself.
00:22:57Goodbye.
00:22:59Goodbye.
00:22:59All right, Perkins.
00:23:01Heel.
00:23:11Curse upon the family.
00:23:13Unhappiness and death to his descendants.
00:23:16That's what he left, Sir Henry.
00:23:18Certainly has a lot to answer for.
00:23:21What about this one here?
00:23:23That was another picture of Sir Hugo.
00:23:26He disappeared under mysterious circumstances some months back.
00:23:29You mean it was stolen?
00:23:30In the middle of the night.
00:23:31And what steps were taken to recover it?
00:23:34Your uncle called in the police from Exeter, but they could find no trace.
00:23:40Well, one picture of that scoundrel is more than enough.
00:23:42What do you say, Watson?
00:23:45Oh, your glass is empty, please.
00:23:47No.
00:23:47You must be bored to tears by all this rigmarole about my family.
00:23:50You must think me a terrible host.
00:23:52Oh, not at all, not at all.
00:23:54I found it extremely interesting.
00:23:56Have you?
00:23:56Well, it's very nice of you to say, sir.
00:23:59Barrymore.
00:23:59Sir.
00:24:01Would you and your good wife care to join me in a toast?
00:24:03Most kind of you, Sir Henry.
00:24:04It is a drink to my first day at Baskerville Hall.
00:24:12And to my firm belief that the family curse is nothing but a legend.
00:24:17And that the hound of hell will never again bring fear to those on the moor at night.
00:24:21I must ask you to excuse my wife's behavior, Sir Henry.
00:24:35She was most upset by Sir Charles' death.
00:24:37Her nerves have been in a bad way ever since.
00:24:39I'm very sorry to hear that, Barrymore.
00:24:41Watson, you can give her something for her nerves, can't you?
00:24:44Yes, of course.
00:24:45I will.
00:24:46Oh, Barrymore.
00:24:47Well, since you've mentioned Sir Charles' death, perhaps you've told us a little more about it.
00:24:53You were the first to discover the body, weren't you?
00:24:55That's correct.
00:24:57It was terrible, sir.
00:24:59I never saw such a dreadful look on anybody's face before.
00:25:03You found Sir Charles' body up near the old abbey, I understand.
00:25:08What made you go up there to look for him?
00:25:10I didn't, sir.
00:25:12I was on my way to tell Dr. Mortimer that he was missing.
00:25:14And then I, then I saw Sir Charles lying there dead.
00:25:19But what made you decide to go across the moor to look for Sir Charles?
00:25:24I've had a look at a map of the locality.
00:25:27Surely it would have been quicker for you to have taken the track and gone by road.
00:25:30There's a shortcut across the moor, sir.
00:25:34Barrymore, did you go across the moor because you were half expecting to find Sir Charles there?
00:25:40Because of the legend?
00:25:41Well, you know about the legend of the Hound of the Baskerville, central.
00:25:46Do you believe it?
00:25:49Do you really believe that there is a creature out there?
00:25:53I don't know what to believe, sir.
00:25:56All I know is that I've heard it.
00:25:59Heard its terrible howl on the night before Sir Charles died.
00:26:02And I never want to hear such a sound again in all my life.
00:26:06I don't know.
00:27:30Thank you, sir.
00:27:40Oh, no, thank you, no, thank you.
00:27:43It's gone away.
00:27:44Oh, damn it, I could have done with that.
00:27:46It was an excellent specimen of Coleopterus capers.
00:27:49I collected them, you know.
00:27:51Why, it's Henry, eh?
00:27:54Yes.
00:27:54Oh, the Baskerville mouth.
00:27:56I could have recognized you anywhere, even among the natives.
00:27:59That's Franklin, eh?
00:28:01Franklin, Bishop of the Outer Isles, for what they were.
00:28:06Very glad to meet you, sir.
00:28:08Would you come in?
00:28:09Yes, how, how good, how very good to see a new owner of Baskerville Hall, eh?
00:28:22Oh, well, no, that's, uh, well, that's not quite what I meant.
00:28:26Poor Sir Charles.
00:28:27Oh, what a splendid fellow he was.
00:28:30So you knew my uncle?
00:28:31Knew him, my dear fellow.
00:28:33We were the greatest friends.
00:28:35How many times Sir Charles and I have discussed life, you know.
00:28:40Over, over a glass of sherry.
00:28:43Well, in that case, Bishop, perhaps you'd care to join me in a glass of sherry now.
00:28:47Now, you mention sherry.
00:28:49I, I think perhaps I might like a glass.
00:28:52I saw Bishop Franklin coming up the drive, Sir Henry.
00:28:55Very more.
00:28:56Oh, still the faithful retainer, eh?
00:28:59Oh.
00:29:04Are you saying that?
00:29:05No, thank you very much.
00:29:06You know, it's the best sherry in Devon, I always say.
00:29:09Oh, Sir Charles knew his creature comforts all right.
00:29:12I've seen him with some very attractive creatures at times.
00:29:15Yes, yes, he knew a woman when he saw one, did Sir Charles.
00:29:20Oh, yes, poor fellow.
00:29:23But he rest in peace.
00:29:25What a loss.
00:29:28Oh, thank you.
00:29:29Oh, I think I should like another glass, yes.
00:29:32Oh, Watson, I don't think you've met the Bishop.
00:29:35Bishop Franklin, Dr. Watson.
00:29:37Dr. Verma?
00:29:39Watson, you say the name is?
00:29:40Yes, well, I knew a Watson in Caprino.
00:29:42Yes, a notorious white slave.
00:29:44A nice fellow, though.
00:29:45Relation of yours?
00:29:46No, sir.
00:29:47Not that I know of.
00:29:49But of course it is possible.
00:29:50You've come to approve the new lord of the manor, I imagine.
00:29:55I think that's necessary.
00:29:56But why have I come?
00:29:59Oh, yes, of course, the jumble sale.
00:30:01Jumble sale?
00:30:02What an esthess.
00:30:02Oh, it's a colloquial expression, Henry.
00:30:05It's a, well, sale of oddments, Henry.
00:30:07I was wondering if you had anything you could spare for us.
00:30:10An odd tablecloth or an old suit or some, well, cast off silver?
00:30:14I'm quite sure I can.
00:30:15I'd ask Mrs. Barrymore.
00:30:16Well, that's very kind of you.
00:30:18May I, may I give you the address in which you could have them sent?
00:30:22And I'm sure we shall all be very grateful to you.
00:30:25Very grateful, indeed, if you'd have, have them sent there.
00:30:29And I shall apologize for the check.
00:30:33It's really rather charming.
00:30:35All things bright and beautiful.
00:30:38Well, I'm just going down to the village to leave some instructions at the post office,
00:30:42Henry.
00:30:43If you'll excuse me, my lord, please.
00:30:44And if, of course, I'll give you a lift on the tricycle,
00:30:47but I want to chat with Sir Henry.
00:30:50Goodbye.
00:30:52I'm afraid you'll be expected to open the sales for Henry, yes,
00:30:55and judge the prettiest mother and baby.
00:30:58Do you know, dear old Sir Charles, he loved doing that.
00:31:01Yes, he did.
00:31:03I remember one occasion when, uh, when one of the babies went,
00:31:07Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
00:31:10Uh, dear, oh, dear.
00:31:27Uh.
00:31:28Don't move.
00:31:54Stay where you are.
00:31:55I said not to move, sir.
00:32:05You've no call to use that kind of trap.
00:32:07It's unnecessarily cruel.
00:32:08The man's got to live, sir.
00:32:09There are other ways of killing animals without torturing them.
00:32:12Why don't you use a gun?
00:32:17No.
00:32:19I'm sorry.
00:32:19Besides, cartridges cost money.
00:32:21Some of us haven't got much of that to spend.
00:32:23It's a poor life on the moors, sir, Henry.
00:32:26I'm afraid you've made a mistake.
00:32:27My name is Watson.
00:32:28Although I am staying at Baskerville Hall.
00:32:30With sir Henry?
00:32:31Yes.
00:32:33When you see the new squire, tell him his new neighbor would like to meet him.
00:32:36I farm the little part is near the hall.
00:32:38I've done for nearly a year.
00:32:40Poor land it is, too.
00:32:41What name is it?
00:32:43Stapleton.
00:32:44Very well, I'll tell sir Henry.
00:32:46I wonder, could you tell me how to get to Baskerville Hall?
00:32:50I seem to have lost my way.
00:32:52You bear right at the folk.
00:32:56Mr. Watson, don't step off the tack or you'll find yourself in Gripenmire.
00:33:00Once in there, you'll never get out.
00:33:05Good morning.
00:33:31I wonder, could you tell me, am I on the right path to Baskerville Hall?
00:33:39The track seems to end here.
00:33:41Hey, watch out!
00:33:50The mire!
00:34:00Hey!
00:34:02Hey, I see!
00:34:04Hey!
00:34:11Cecile!
00:34:15Come back!
00:34:19Hold up!
00:34:25Cecile!
00:34:26Cecile!
00:34:27Cecile!
00:34:27Cecile!
00:34:41Cecile!
00:34:41Cecile!
00:34:49Wait, my girl.
00:34:50I'll seek you to come when you're called.
00:34:51Now get the cart down as near as you can.
00:34:53Be quick about it.
00:34:54What do you do as you're told, girl?
00:34:58I told you to watch out.
00:35:01Who is that girl?
00:35:02My daughter.
00:35:04The moor's no place for a girl.
00:35:07What was she frightened of?
00:35:08There's a convict escaped from the prison.
00:35:11I'll help you to the cart.
00:35:13Watch where I step.
00:35:31Now that you're here, would you like to come in and see Sir Henry?
00:35:33It's as good a time as any.
00:35:35And how about Miss Stapleton? Would she like to come in too?
00:35:39She'll wait where she is.
00:35:41Very well.
00:35:43Good morning, Miss Stapleton.
00:35:57Hello.
00:35:59If you're looking for the new owner, I'm afraid you won't find him at home.
00:36:01Go away.
00:36:03I haven't introduced myself yet.
00:36:05I'm Henry Baskerville.
00:36:07May I ask?
00:36:08Please, go away.
00:36:10My father will be out in a moment.
00:36:13So your father's gone into the hall, has he?
00:36:15Well, let's join him.
00:36:16No, don't.
00:36:18Here. Here, wait a minute.
00:36:29Leave me alone.
00:36:31Just a minute.
00:36:32Calm down.
00:36:35Now, why did you run away?
00:36:37Well, come on, why did you run away?
00:36:38I've done nothing to frighten you.
00:36:40My father.
00:36:41What about your father?
00:36:42He would have seen us.
00:36:44Well, what of it?
00:36:53Now, would you let me go?
00:36:54Cecil!
00:36:55Cecil!
00:37:04Where have you been?
00:37:06Come on, girl.
00:37:07Where have you been?
00:37:10Morning.
00:37:11Morning.
00:37:12Sir Henry Baskerville, isn't he?
00:37:13Yes.
00:37:14I'll be looking forward to meeting you, sir.
00:37:16My name's Stapleton.
00:37:17Welcome to Dartmoor.
00:37:18You're very kind.
00:37:19I run the whole farm.
00:37:20You'll be very welcome whenever you're that way.
00:37:22Well, we must be getting on our way.
00:37:24Must be, Cecil.
00:37:25Good day to you, sir.
00:37:26Good day, Mr. Stapleton.
00:37:27Come on.
00:37:28Come on.
00:37:29Come on.
00:37:30Come on.
00:38:00Come on.
00:38:01Forget your face.
00:38:02Good day.
00:38:03Hello, sir.
00:38:04Good day, sir.
00:38:05Good day, sir.
00:38:06Thank you, sir.
00:38:07Hey, we might be here.
00:38:09Hey, buddy.
00:38:10We will wait.
00:38:11Good.
00:38:13Good day.
00:38:14We will work on the way.
00:38:15Good day, sir.
00:38:18That's all right.
00:38:19Good day.
00:38:20Good day, sir.
00:38:21You too.
00:38:22Good day, sir.
00:38:23Good day, sir.
00:38:24Good day, sir.
00:38:27Good day, sir.
00:38:28Good day, sir.
00:38:29What's up here?
00:38:55Move the kettle.
00:38:59Move the candle about, quickly.
00:39:01I'll swear I saw a light out there in the moor as soon as you picked up the candle.
00:39:06There's someone out there signaling to the house.
00:39:09Come on.
00:39:22Whatever happened, Sir Henry, you must stay with me.
00:39:29We're still in line with the night.
00:39:30Yes, but we're not near enough yet.
00:39:31Keep those to me.
00:39:32Don't go off to the left or you'll be in Grimpen Mire.
00:39:36We're still in line with the night.
00:39:37Yes, but we're not near enough yet.
00:39:38Keep those to me.
00:39:39Don't go off to the left or you'll be in Grimpen Mire.
00:39:43Right.
00:39:44Come on.
00:39:45Come on.
00:39:46Come on.
00:39:47Come out.
00:39:48We're on.
00:39:49They're gone.
00:39:50Whoever they are, they must have heard us.
00:39:51Watson.
00:39:52Come on.
00:39:53Come on.
00:39:54Come on.
00:39:55They're gone.
00:39:56Whoever they are, they must have heard us.
00:39:59Watson.
00:40:00Come on.
00:40:04Come on.
00:40:07Come on.
00:40:10They're gone.
00:40:11Whoever they are, they must have heard us.
00:40:16Watson.
00:40:17Watson!
00:40:20Come on! There's still no chance!
00:40:37Listen, he's down there somewhere.
00:40:47What was that, Watson? What was that?
00:40:59It's my heart.
00:41:02Think of this.
00:41:09Will you be able to get back if I help you?
00:41:13Try.
00:41:15Come on, then.
00:41:17That is for me to decide, Sir Henry.
00:41:27I suggest that you have a full rest.
00:41:29Good night.
00:41:30Good night, young man.
00:41:37I really don't know why you bothered to send me to me, Watson.
00:41:39After all, as a doctor, you're just as capable as I am.
00:41:43Does your diagnosis confirm mine?
00:41:45Yes, a similar heart condition to his uncle, agreed.
00:41:49Hereditary, no doubt.
00:41:50But nowhere near so far advanced.
00:41:52All the same, I'd like to leave him in your charge until I get back.
00:41:56If you insist.
00:41:58Anyway, my night's sleep is ruined.
00:42:00But I really can't see it as necessary.
00:42:02Nevertheless, I'd appreciate it if you would stay.
00:42:05It's essential that I go back to the moor.
00:42:06I don't know.
00:42:07All right.
00:42:09Now stay.
00:43:15Why have you left Sir Henry alone?
00:43:20Holmes.
00:43:21I repeat.
00:43:22Why have you left Sir Henry alone?
00:43:24Dr. Mortimer is with him.
00:43:26Anyone else?
00:43:27Yes, the baroners.
00:43:30Very well, then.
00:43:31Forgive me if my dramatic engines startle you.
00:43:33Well, it's good to see you again, Watson.
00:43:35It's been rather lonely up here.
00:43:36Oh, this is fantastic.
00:43:38How long have you been in Dublin?
00:43:40Exactly four hours and 52 minutes less than you.
00:43:42I caught the next train down after yours.
00:43:44It's your telegram.
00:43:45Ah.
00:43:46I wrote that before I left town and arranged to have it delivered later.
00:43:49So it was you I saw.
00:43:51Well, I think you might have let him know what you intended to do, Holmes.
00:43:54I'm sorry, Watson.
00:43:55But I didn't want it known I was here.
00:43:56Besides, you would have tried to prevent me.
00:43:58You will understand.
00:43:59I had to find Selden.
00:44:01Selden, a convict?
00:44:02Well, that was madness.
00:44:03No doubt.
00:44:03A defective wolf.
00:44:05But how did you know he was on the moor?
00:44:07I read about it in the newspapers, Watson.
00:44:09The escape was well reported.
00:44:11I'm surprised we didn't notice it.
00:44:12He told me all he had seen since he's been hiding.
00:44:15Well, what had he seen?
00:44:16What did he tell you?
00:44:18There is more evil around us here than I have ever encountered before.
00:44:23Well, I still don't see...
00:44:32Mortimer's gone.
00:44:47His pony car's not there.
00:44:49You told him to stay with Sir Henry.
00:44:50Well, indeed I did.
00:45:02Which way?
00:45:07Heaven's sake, which way?
00:45:19Too late.
00:45:21We're too late, Sir Henry.
00:45:24Watch out, Holmes.
00:45:26His pleasure is here.
00:45:28Let's go back and get help.
00:45:29Then come back to the body.
00:45:32I'm to blame for this.
00:45:34I shall never forgive myself.
00:45:35I warned him.
00:45:37What could have possessed him to come out alone in the moor?
00:45:40The last of the basket was.
00:45:43His life was in our hands.
00:45:56I shall not rest until I destroy the thing that killed him.
00:46:02You're Barrymore, I think.
00:46:18Yes, sir.
00:46:22Barrymore.
00:46:22I want you to get a letter, some rope and lanterns, and have them loaded on the cart within five minutes.
00:46:28Do you understand?
00:46:29Yes, sir.
00:46:30Good.
00:46:31What's in the way to your room?
00:46:31Oh, this way.
00:46:32I'll show you what.
00:46:33I'll have those attains it, will you?
00:46:36They're good, sir?
00:46:37I'll probably put a pair of dry-sized boots and a heavy coat before we go out again.
00:46:42Yes, of course.
00:46:43You know, Holmes, I can't help healing with if I hadn't gone out and left Sir Henry alone.
00:46:48We need to avenge his death, not mourn of it.
00:46:50No.
00:46:51No.
00:46:51No.
00:46:55No.
00:46:55No.
00:46:55No.
00:47:13No.
00:47:18No.

00:47:37see you sir Henry who was it Holmes who was the poor devil that died instead of me well if my
00:47:44deductions are correct it was the convict Selden the fellow was a murderer I know but he shouldn't
00:47:50have died in certain fashion yes but why him the curse is only on the basketballs is no one safe
00:47:54from the hunt Selden had on the suit of clothes you were wearing when we first met in London how
00:47:58did he get them he must have broken and stolen them I suppose possibly unlikely sir Henry why
00:48:04did Dr Mortimer leave so suddenly tonight he told me that he'd stay until I got back stupid row really
00:48:10he kept on about my uncle's death and the curse on the family well I asked him if he was trying to
00:48:16frighten me and turn into mind his own business if you'd like a few words for Dr Mortimer sometime

00:49:21how the devil do you know oh finally like this there are certain features that are unmistakable

00:50:34yes sir
00:50:40yes sir
00:50:44The Baskerville crest, engraved on the hilt.
00:51:07Mr. Holmes!
00:51:14As I thought, seldom.
00:51:20His body's been mutilated.
00:51:23Some revolting sacrificial rite has been performed.
00:51:28What depth a human being can sink to it.
00:51:31What human being could have done this?
00:51:34That is precisely what I intend to find out.
00:51:44You rang for me, sir.
00:51:50I did, Mrs. Madamar.
00:51:51Sit down, please.
00:51:52No, thank you, sir.
00:51:53I prefer to stand.
00:51:54As you wish.
00:51:55I want to ask you and your husband a few questions, if you don't mind.
00:51:59How long have you been married?
00:52:00Married?
00:52:02Must be almost five years now, isn't it?
00:52:04Is that right, Miss Selden?
00:52:05Yes, sir.
00:52:06We got married about...
00:52:11Please, sit down.
00:52:14Your name was Selden before you married, wasn't it?
00:52:18And the convict who escaped was your brother.
00:52:20How did you know?
00:52:21Your brother told me.
00:52:24He's dead, sir, isn't he?
00:52:26Yes, I'm afraid he is.
00:52:28How did it happen?
00:52:29You gave Selden some of Sir Henry's clothes, didn't you?
00:52:32Well, I...
00:52:33Someone or something who struck your brother for Sir Henry.
00:52:37You mustn't blame my husband, sir.
00:52:39I gave him the clothes.
00:52:41Sir Henry said I might take them for the village sale.
00:52:43But why should they have them when my brother was out on the moor, cold and hungry?
00:52:51Oh, I...
00:52:52I know he was bad, sir, but he was ill, really.
00:52:56And he was my brother.
00:52:58You can't leave someone you love out there, cold and starving.
00:53:03I understand.
00:53:05It might help you to know he also told me
00:53:06he would never let them recapture him alive.
00:53:13No longer, my dear.
00:53:14I suppose when Sir Henry and I arrived here at the hall,
00:53:25she found it difficult to get food to her brother.
00:53:28Yes, they had to arrange a signal with a candle at the window
00:53:30to show when the coast was clear.
00:53:32Couldn't they be charged with helping an escaped convict?
00:53:36They could, but they won't.
00:53:38I've satisfied the local police.
00:53:39Well, what's the next move?
00:53:43All things bright and beautiful, or creatures great and small.
00:53:47I wonder if that includes tarantulas.
00:53:50Tarantulas?
00:53:52But, Holmes?
00:53:59A gentleman to see you, my lord.
00:54:01Oh, good, good.
00:54:02And just in time.
00:54:04I'm still having trouble with it, you know.
00:54:06We'll come and have a look at it.
00:54:08Of course, I'm not an engineering man,
00:54:10but it seems to me that this eccentric is malaligned.
00:54:13Or perhaps if this can were bathed to another thou or so,
00:54:18it might make all the difference, don't you think?
00:54:20Or perhaps a shim?
00:54:21Graphite crease.
00:54:23What?
00:54:24Oh, of course.
00:54:26Well, I have.
00:54:27I've got some.
00:54:28Do you know, I never thought of it.
00:54:30Allow me.
00:54:30Oh, thank you.
00:54:33Here, sit here.
00:54:38Here.
00:54:39There you are.
00:54:39You'll want that.
00:54:41Here.
00:54:42Now.
00:54:43Now, let's see.
00:54:44Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
00:54:47That's done the trick, yeah.
00:54:49I wish Mrs. Goodlip would leave those windows alone on her mind.
00:54:54Take a glass of sherry before you go.
00:54:56Mr. Prankland.
00:54:57Oh, nonsense.
00:54:58A little wine for your stomach's sake.
00:55:00That's in the Bible.
00:55:01Oh, I think you'll like this.
00:55:03Now, what do I owe you for your trouble and your fear from Exeter, of course?
00:55:07My lord, I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
00:55:09Oh, no.
00:55:10Only somebody from Warburton and Crawley can have solved that problem.
00:55:14Nevertheless, I am not from Warburton and Crawley.
00:55:16Not?
00:55:16My name is Sherlock Holmes.
00:55:19I am staying with Sir Henry Baskerville.
00:55:21Oh, allow me to shake the hand of the country's greatest detective.
00:55:24I say, that case of the Bourbonsey forgery, that was our first-class piece of work.
00:55:28Oh, thank you.
00:55:29And I am pleased to shake the hand of the country's most distinguished entomologist.
00:55:32You heard of me?
00:55:33Oh.
00:55:34Oh, flattering.
00:55:35I know the directors of the Regents Park Zoo regard you as the highest living authority
00:55:39on the study of rare spiders.
00:55:41Oh, spiders?
00:55:42And it is about that very subject that I've come to see you.
00:55:45The species of the genus therophosa.
00:55:47Oh, tarantula.
00:55:49Oh.
00:55:50Excuse me.
00:55:51Everybody is asking me about tarantulas these days.
00:55:54Oh, no.
00:55:56I'm afraid I can't help you on that subject.
00:55:59How very disappointing.
00:56:01Because I found one.
00:56:03Found one?
00:56:04Have you, by Jove?
00:56:06Dead, fortunately.
00:56:07Oh, pretty.
00:56:09Never mind.
00:56:10Where did you find it?
00:56:11Somewhere about the village?
00:56:12So that?
00:56:13No, in London.
00:56:15Oh, up there.
00:56:16Nevertheless, it was the same spider that you lost.
00:56:19Very possible.
00:56:20Far too far away.
00:56:24Are you suggesting that I've lost a spider?
00:56:27I'm afraid I am.
00:56:28You have, haven't you?
00:56:30You lost a spider sent you from the London Zoo about five days ago.
00:56:34Are you interested in butterflies?
00:56:36My lord, I must insist.
00:56:38Will it help if I tell you I am fighting evil?
00:56:40Fighting it as surely as you do.
00:56:44Oh, yes.
00:56:45Well, I did lose the tarantula.
00:56:48I missed it last Thursday.
00:56:49I've been worried out of my life ever since.
00:56:51They're dangerous, you know.
00:56:53So I understand.
00:56:53But you needn't worry any longer.
00:56:55The spider is dead.
00:56:56Now, it is important that you answer this question correctly.
00:57:00What visitors did you have on the day you missed the tarantula?
00:57:03Visitors?
00:57:04Well, that's difficult because Thursday's my tone day.
00:57:07I mean, a lot of people like to look in for a sherry and a chat.
00:57:11You see, there was old Mrs. Smythe.
00:57:14Poor woman.
00:57:15Drinks.
00:57:16Oh, yes.
00:57:17Dr. Mortimer before lunch.
00:57:19Oh, dear old Mortimer, how he talks.
00:57:23The Stapletons to tea.
00:57:25Oh, yes.
00:57:26The man about the woodworm in the belfry.
00:57:30Fascinating little creatures.
00:57:32But the church is full of them, you know.
00:57:33I'm extremely sorry to hear that.
00:57:35And the man's name?
00:57:36Smith, I think.
00:57:37And no one else.
00:57:38Last Thursday?
00:57:39No.
00:57:40Thank you, my Lord Bishop.
00:57:41That is all I wish to know.
00:57:42It has been most kind of you and most helpful.
00:57:44And thank you for helping me with my telescope.
00:57:47Not at all.
00:57:48Oh, remarkable instruments.
00:57:50It's surprising what you can see through a good telescope.
00:57:54Now, what's going on in the big world?
00:57:57Yep.
00:57:58There's the Henry.
00:58:00Where's he off to?
00:58:02Oh, dear me.
00:58:04This is very interesting.
00:58:06Come on, come on.
00:58:09Come here.
00:58:09Come on, have a look.
00:58:16Oh, he's gone.
00:58:18Anybody in home?
00:58:39Mrs. Samson?
00:58:48Why did you come here?
00:58:54I'm sorry.
00:58:55You must think they're very rude.
00:58:56But I didn't knock.
00:58:58I've come to see your father.
00:58:59He's not here.
00:59:00He's going to Baskerville Hall.
00:59:02Is he?
00:59:03May I ask why?
00:59:04To invite you and your friends to dinner tonight.
00:59:07That's very kind of him.
00:59:11Would you like some cider?
00:59:13Thank you very much.
00:59:14I wish I would.
00:59:20What time are we expected to arrive?
00:59:23You mean you will come?
00:59:25I'm looking forward to it.
00:59:28It won't be like Baskerville Hall.
00:59:29I haven't spent all my life at Baskerville Hall, Cécile.
00:59:36I like your home.
00:59:38This is not my home.
00:59:40My home is in Spain.
00:59:44We were looking at the picture of my parents.
00:59:47My mother was a fine woman.
00:59:49A fine Spanish woman.
00:59:52She would hear nothing of living in England.
00:59:55She was born in Spain and there she would die, she said.
00:59:58She did die.
01:00:00We came here to England.
01:00:03My father spent all the money we had saved to come back to England to become a gentleman farm in his own country.
01:00:11But the land he bought is no good.
01:00:14The man is gone.
01:00:16We have a saying at home.
01:00:17We are not killed by the frost.
01:00:25We still live.
01:00:27Have you ever thought of going back?
01:00:29I've thought of nothing else.
01:00:31My father is too proud when it is beaten.
01:00:34Proud of this.
01:00:38And so we are left with the moor and the mist.
01:00:42You must be very lonely.
01:00:44Yes, I am very lonely.
01:00:45When you are poor, no one wants to know you.
01:00:50I want to know you, Cecile.
01:00:56Why did you run away from me yesterday?
01:00:58When we had hardly met.
01:01:01Why did you kiss me, Cecile?
01:01:05Why?
01:01:07I don't know.
01:01:11Tell me.
01:01:11I don't know. I don't know.
01:01:13I don't know.
01:01:32Will you meet me tonight at the hall?
01:01:35We can walk back across the moor.
01:01:38If you want me to.
01:01:39Our path seemed to have crossed this morning, Sir Henry.
01:01:51I suppose you've come to talk about the path.
01:01:54You have cider.
01:01:56Good.
01:01:56Cecile fetched another tankard for me.
01:01:58Now, quickly, about a girl.
01:02:00Do sit down, Sir Henry.
01:02:02I was wondering whether you and your guests at the hall would care to join us for a meal here tonight.
01:02:07Just simple fare, of course.
01:02:09As Sir, your daughter's already told me.
01:02:11I'd be very pleased to.
01:02:12And so I think, well, Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson.
01:02:15Good.
01:02:15It'll be a change for us to have visitors.
01:02:17Your health, sir.
01:02:30But how can you be so certain that somebody took one of the Bishop's spiders and deliberately placed it in Sir Henry's room?
01:02:36That it wasn't in the luggage he brought from South Africa?
01:02:38Elementary, my dear Watson.
01:02:40There are no tarantulas in South Africa.
01:02:44Well, who other placed it there?
01:02:45I didn't know that.
01:02:46Precisely.
01:02:47But he did know when and where Sir Henry was arriving and where he was staying.
01:02:52He also knew a great deal about the Baskerville family.
01:02:55A bite from a tarantula is not necessarily deadly to a healthy man, but to a man with a weak heart.
01:03:00Well, that indicates that it's somebody from this part of the country.
01:03:04Why not?
01:03:04There's an excellent train service to and from London.
01:03:07And as Sir Charles died on Dartmoor only a month ago, it would arouse less suspicion that Sir Henry died in London.
01:03:12Sir Charles, I'd almost forgotten about him.
01:03:14It's a good thing I remembered, wasn't it?
01:03:17Well, all right.
01:03:18But the person who benefited most from Sir Charles as well was Sir Henry.
01:03:22You're not going to suggest that he killed his uncle, huh?
01:03:24A million pounds is a great temptation.
01:03:27In a case such as this, everyone is suspect, even Sir Henry.
01:03:29Dr. Mortimer was the only one who knew where Sir Henry would be staying in London.
01:03:34And when he was arriving.
01:03:35Oh, no.
01:03:36No.
01:03:36The London Times would have published it.
01:03:39Well, what about the legend of the Hound of Hell?
01:03:41Remember, we've both seen something of its horror.
01:03:44What?
01:03:45Do inspire me.
01:03:46Let me see your map, quickly.
01:03:48Selden swore he heard his cries coming from the very depths of the earth.
01:03:51The Hound of Hell.
01:03:53Let me see.
01:03:55There, I must pull myself together.
01:03:57I shouldn't have noticed this long ago.
01:03:59Ah, Holmes.
01:04:06Barrymore told me you'd arrived.
01:04:08About time, too, if I may say so.
01:04:10Considering what happened to that convict fellow, I...
01:04:12The developer might be if they reflect, Dr. Mortimer.
01:04:15Well, I don't.
01:04:17A man like that deserves all he gets.
01:04:20Now, in case you're both wondering why I'm here,
01:04:22I've just come over to start looking through the family estates.
01:04:26I think I'm wasting my time, if you ask me.
01:04:28Now, really, Holmes.
01:04:29I find it quite impossible to get on with Sir Henry.
01:04:33I understand you had a disagreement with him last night.
01:04:35Disagreement?
01:04:36The fellow was downright rude, if that's what you mean.
01:04:39Hardly a good enough excuse to leave someone alone when you know him to be in danger.
01:04:42You did tell me that you'd stay with Sir Henry until I got back.
01:04:45What if I did?
01:04:46I don't see why I should be insulted by the man I'm trying to protect.
01:04:50After all, I only mentioned the subject of the legend.
01:04:52Ah, now, you are very fond of doing that, Dr. Mortimer.
01:04:54Why?
01:04:55You were the first to discover the existence of the legend, weren't you?
01:04:58Mr. Holmes, when I engaged you, I looked to you to protect Sir Henry's interests.
01:05:04I'm beginning to see, for the first time in my life, I was wrong in my judgment.
01:05:09If you care to relinquish the case...
01:05:10I never relinquish a case!
01:05:11Mr. Hobart, please!
01:05:13Please, don't let us fall out of this stage.
01:05:15I need your help, unfortunately.
01:05:17Well, you know a great deal about the geography and the history of this district, I believe.
01:05:23I am considered something of an authoritative.
01:05:26There is an old tin mine marked here on the map.
01:05:28Does it still exist?
01:05:30I believe so.
01:05:32What of it?
01:05:33It's been derelict for years.
01:05:34Yes, I rather fear this map will be out of date.
01:05:37Could you show me the way to the entrance?
01:05:39What on earth for?
01:05:42Could you?
01:05:44I'm afraid not.
01:05:45I haven't been near there for years.
01:05:48Perhaps Stapleton can help you.
01:05:50It lies under his ground.
01:05:52If you agree to show me, would you be prepared to come with us?
01:05:55I suggest that you stay away from the mine, Mr. Holmes.
01:05:59It hasn't been in use for a long time, and the shafting is in a dangerous condition.
01:06:03And how do you know that, if you haven't been near there for years?
01:06:05Hmm?
01:06:05Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
01:06:08Any kind of tunneling is dangerous if it isn't in a proper state of repair.
01:06:11All the same, I feel I must take a look at it.
01:06:13Will you come with me?
01:06:14As an archaeologist, your help will be in value.
01:06:18I suppose if you're going to make an issue of it, I shall have to come.
01:06:20Good.
01:06:21Good man.
01:06:22What do you want me to do?
01:06:24Identify anything I may find.
01:06:25Strange things are to be found on the moor.
01:06:27Like this, for instance.
01:06:28Did you find that?
01:06:36Interesting, isn't it?
01:06:38Could you tell me how old it is?
01:06:40I'm not sure.
01:06:421700, I imagine.
01:06:441740, to be exact.
01:06:45And the blood.
01:06:46How old is that?
01:06:47I couldn't tell.
01:06:48Then I will tell you.
01:06:48It is less than 10 hours old.
01:06:51Could you tell me anything else about the weapon?
01:06:55No?
01:06:56Oh, come, come.
01:06:57With your knowledge of the legend, I made certain you would have known.
01:07:00This is the dagger, Sir Hugo Basker, has used to murder the farm girl in the abbey.
01:07:04And more recently, it has been used for some diabolical ceremony.
01:07:16All right, Watson.
01:07:18We're all done quite safely.
01:07:20Good.
01:07:21I'll be waiting for you here.
01:07:23I don't expect we should be very long.
01:07:25I'd better follow Clisk behind me for the moment.
01:07:28You have to watch your step.
01:07:55It's very slippery down here.
01:07:56The water seeps through from the mire.
01:08:02Don't touch any of the props, whatever you do.
01:08:04The whole roof down on us.
01:08:06You should never have come down here.
01:08:07It's far too dangerous.
01:08:09What do you expect to find, Mr. Holmes?
01:08:12What is one likely to find under the ground?
01:08:15Bones, perhaps?
01:08:26Thanks, sir.
01:08:39This is dangerous.
01:08:41You can carry on, Mr. Holmes, while we chop the wheels.
01:08:45Certainly.
01:08:46Keep on.
01:08:49We won't need to go any further.
01:09:03I found what I came down for.
01:09:21You're welcome.
01:09:25I don't know.
01:09:55No good, Watson?
01:10:19Leave the lantern there, Mr. Stapleton.
01:10:25We must go back to the village and get some help.
01:10:30I'm afraid it won't do no good, sir.
01:10:32Must be a ton of rock blocking that shaft there.
01:10:35Well, we must try.
01:10:37You must resign yourself for the fact that there's not the slightest hope that he's still alive.
01:10:41Don't you agree, Stapleton?
01:10:42You know as much about it as I do.
01:10:45It's over two hours since the roof fell.
01:10:47You'll be down there yourself.
01:10:47We haven't heard a sound.
01:10:48Not likely to, with all that rock in front of us.
01:10:51That don't mean to say he's not alive, though.
01:10:53There's plenty of air in that old mine.
01:10:54Comes in from them ventilating shafts, sir.
01:10:57Well, couldn't we get down one of them and find him that way?
01:10:59I wouldn't like to say so.
01:11:01I doubt the man the villagers knows their mentors as nowadays.
01:11:03Well, we must try to find one.
01:11:04Mr. Stapleton, will you lead us back to the path immediately, please?
01:11:07I did warn him not to go.
01:11:17You were there.
01:11:18You heard me, didn't you, Watson?
01:11:19There's still a chance.
01:11:20A very good chance.
01:11:22I've been sitting here for the last ten minutes waiting for you.
01:11:25Holmes!
01:11:27Thank heaven you're safe.
01:11:28But how did you get out?
01:11:30This is wonderful.
01:11:32That's gratifying.
01:11:33Now, when the general applause has died down, I wonder if we could get back to the hall.
01:11:37I've hurt my leg, I'm cold, and I'm hungry.
01:11:41Will you please stop behaving like a maiden aunt?
01:11:44Once and for all, if I hadn't known there were a number of entrances to the mine,
01:11:47I should never have gone down the confounded place.
01:11:48It's not for a wretched old beef bone.
01:11:50It is not a wretched old beef bone, my boy.
01:11:52That's just the point.
01:11:53It's a relatively new one.
01:11:54No, but...
01:11:55Would you mind, please, passing me my tobacco?
01:11:58What?
01:11:59Where is it?
01:12:00You'll find it in the top right-hand drawer.
01:12:02An unopened tin.
01:12:03You must have put it somewhere else.
01:12:08The right-hand top drawer.
01:12:10I'm looking in the right-hand top drawer.
01:12:12Isn't it there?
01:12:13I've just told you it isn't there.
01:12:16Hmm.
01:12:17No, Ted.
01:12:17Just a minute.
01:12:18I know I put it there this morning.
01:12:20Watson.
01:12:21The bottom door, where I put the dagger.
01:12:22Is it still locked?
01:12:25No.
01:12:26Holmes, the lock's been forced.
01:12:28The dagger's not there.
01:12:35Well, how's the leg feeling now?
01:12:38Not very good.
01:12:39Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
01:12:41I wasn't able to tell you before, but Stapleton has asked the three of us over for a meal tonight.
01:12:45Oh, has he?
01:12:46Yes, I thought it was a very nice gesture.
01:12:49Still, I don't suppose you'll feel like going with your leg the way it is.
01:12:52No, I don't.
01:12:53I'm very disappointed.
01:12:55And Cecile is waiting for me downstairs.
01:12:57Of course, I wouldn't dream of going without you.
01:13:02My dear Sir Henry, if you'd really wanted us to come with you, you'd have told us about the invitation much sooner than this.
01:13:08I beg your pardon?
01:13:09You'd better be off.
01:13:10You mustn't be late for your peasant friends.
01:13:12I don't like that, Holmes.
01:13:14I don't like the people you're mixing with.
01:13:16I should have thought in your new position you would have cultivated worthier friends.
01:13:20I hope you enjoy their rabbit pie.
01:13:21Mr. Holmes, I appreciate the fact that you are here to help me.
01:13:30Nevertheless, I would remind you that you are also a guest in my house.
01:13:33Good night.
01:13:36Good night.
01:13:42Well, I do think you might...
01:13:44What a little stop talking nonsense.
01:13:46You know my methods.
01:13:47Couldn't you see I was being purposely rude?
01:13:49I wanted him to go without us.
01:13:51The dagger's gone.
01:13:52Don't you realize what that means?
01:13:54Sir Henry is to die tonight.
01:13:55You're sure that dagger of yours is all right?
01:14:17It's got to be.
01:14:18We're to break the curse he laid on the master bills.
01:14:20Oh?
01:14:21You learned something from that portrait that I was never able to see.
01:14:24The painting, the hands, Watson.
01:14:26Why do you think this painting, sir?
01:14:27Because the artist revealed both hands.
01:14:30Barry Morris confirmed what I suspected.
01:14:32The fingers of Sir Hugo's right hand were wimped.
01:14:35Stapletely.
01:14:36Exactly.
01:14:36Stapletely.
01:14:37The legitimate descendant of Sir Hugo, next in line to the Baskerville fortune.
01:14:54No, this way.
01:15:21But this is the way to the farm.
01:15:23I'm out.
01:15:23I'm out.
01:15:23I'm out.

01:17:26And Sir Charles, your dear uncle, he died here, didn't he?
01:17:31Died because he wanted me, like you.
01:17:33Died because he wanted a woman enough to bring me here alone at night.
01:17:38In spite of the hand of the Baskerville, he died screaming.
01:17:44I know. I watched him.
01:17:47And now you are here, alone, at night.
01:17:51You don't understand, do you?
01:17:54Tell him, Miss Plain.
01:17:55I, too, am a Baskerville, descended from Sir Hugo, descended from those who died in poverty.
01:18:01Why, you scum rule the moor.
01:18:04We have waited and prayed for this moment, my father and I.
01:18:08Now our time has come, and yours.
01:18:12The curse of the hound is on you.
01:18:23I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:25I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:26I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:27I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:28I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:28I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:29I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:30I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:31I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:32I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:33I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:34I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:35I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:36I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:37I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:38I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:39I, too, am a Baskerville.
01:18:40Come on.
01:19:10No, Watson. She won't get far.
01:19:31I came to Sir Henry.
01:19:37All right.
01:19:38All right, Sir Henry.
01:19:40The hound is dead.
01:19:41And you will see it.
01:19:43No, I...
01:19:44It is best that you should.
01:19:56There is nothing to fear now.
01:19:57There is a passage leading for the mine to this place.
01:20:08I discovered it after the statement tried to kill me down there.
01:20:11They used this mask to make it look more terrifying.
01:20:20It was starved for weeks, kept down the mine till the time was ripe, didn't give him the scent.
01:20:24They had to have something of yours to give the hound.
01:20:38We'd better get Sir Henry back to Bassville Hall, Herms.
01:20:41Have you got your cape?
01:20:43What did you get it for?
01:20:43Sir, the curse has claimed its last victim.
01:21:06Yes.
01:21:07Yes.
01:21:08No more will be heard at the hound of the Baskerville.
01:21:16I feel I have already suffered enough from my infamous ancestor.
01:21:20And so...
01:21:21And so I am sending you the missing portrait, which we found at Stapleton's Farm,
01:21:24to add to your famous collection of souvenirs.
01:21:27I hope you will accept it.
01:21:28Also the check which I enclose for...
01:21:31Mm-hmm.
01:21:32Very generous.
01:21:33After tea, you must write to Sir Henry
01:21:34and tell him that I should be pleased to accept both his gifts.
01:21:37Tell me, Herms, when did you first suspect the truth about this case?
01:21:45The truth?
01:21:47Yes, that the hound was a real dog, not just a legendary myth.
01:21:52Ah.
01:21:53When Sir Henry complained of a missing boot that put me on the scent, as it were.
01:21:57As early as that.
01:21:59It's incredible.
01:22:01Elementary, my dear Watson.
01:22:03Elementary.
01:22:05Muffin?
01:22:05Baskerville.
01:22:07Baskerville.
