What is it? 03:58.112 --> 04:00.697 I've had a letter from a boy I was at school with. 04:01.115 --> 04:02.950 I think you should read it. 04:04.494 --> 04:06.620 Percy Phelps, brilliant boy, 04:06.955 --> 04:08.789 carried off every prize the school had to offer, 04:08.957 --> 04:10.791 went on to fresh triumphs at Cambridge. 04:11.376 --> 04:14.795 I must confess, he'd passed completely out of my mind until this. 04:16.297 --> 04:19.967 "My Dear Watson: I have no doubt you remember Tadpole Phelps," 04:20.134 --> 04:22.469 "who was in the third form when you were in the fifth." 04:23.304 --> 04:26.765 "It's possible you may have heard that through my uncle's influence." 04:26.933 --> 04:29.643 "I obtained a good appointment at the Foreign Office." 04:29.811 --> 04:31.603 His uncle's Lord Holdhurst. 04:32.605 --> 04:34.815 "And that I was in a position of trust and honor" 04:34.983 --> 04:38.652 "till a horrible misfortune came suddenly to blast my career." 04:39.070 --> 04:42.447 Yes, his gaudy connections did him little good at school. 04:42.740 --> 04:46.785 It seemed to us a piquant thing to chevy him about the playground, 04:46.911 --> 04:48.328 hit him over the shins with a wicket. 04:51.374 --> 04:54.459 "Do you think you could bring your friend Mr. Holmes down to see me?" 04:55.837 --> 04:56.962 That doesn't tell us much. 04:57.088 --> 04:58.171 Hardly anything 04:58.506 --> 05:01.300 But the writing is of interest, it is a woman's. 05:01.718 --> 05:02.968 No, no, a man's, surely. 05:03.261 --> 05:04.344 No, a woman's. 05:05.722 --> 05:09.683 At the commencement of a case it is always something to know 05:09.851 --> 05:14.521 that a client is in close contact with someone who, for good or evil, 05:14.981 --> 05:16.773 has an exceptional nature. 05:18.860 --> 05:20.277 You're interested? 05:23.197 --> 05:23.864 Indeed. 05:25.325 --> 05:29.369 Well, if you are ready.

Check this for me, would you? That's a good love. 06:16.459 --> 06:17.667 Mr. Sherlock Holmes? 06:17.794 --> 06:19.878 This is my colleague and friend, Dr. Watson. 06:20.046 --> 06:21.588 Dr. Watson, I'm so glad you've come. 06:21.923 --> 06:24.758 Percy's been inquiring after you all morning, poor chap. 06:25.927 --> 06:29.096 I perceive that you, yourself, are not a member of the family? 06:33.434 --> 06:36.269 Of course, you see my JH monogram. 06:37.271 --> 06:39.106 Now, for a moment I thought you'd done something clever. 06:39.816 --> 06:41.274 Joseph Harrison is my name, 06:41.776 --> 06:44.069 and since Percy is betrothed to my sister Annie, 06:44.195 --> 06:48.365 I shall at least be a relation by marriage. You'll find her in his room, 06:49.242 --> 06:51.535 she's been nursing him these past two months. 06:53.329 --> 06:54.579 Rose, in the house. 07:06.008 --> 07:09.803 Now, listen, they're here. Shall I leave? 07:10.304 --> 07:12.222 No, no. 07:26.696 --> 07:29.573 My dear Watson, I should never have known you under that mustache, 07:29.699 --> 07:31.992 and I daresay you wouldn't be prepared to swear to me. 07:32.160 --> 07:35.245 Not at all, still the same dear old Tadpole. 07:36.581 --> 07:39.499 And this, I presume, is your celebrated friend? 07:39.917 --> 07:42.419 Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

My uncle is Lord Holdhurst. 08:09.572 --> 08:12.115 When he became Foreign Minister, he gave me, 08:13.326 --> 08:15.035 occasional delicate missions of trust, 08:15.161 --> 08:17.287 which I always managed to conduct successfully. 08:18.039 --> 08:19.873 I'm sure you did, old chap. 08:21.042 --> 08:23.210 Pray, continue, Mr. Phelps. 08:23.753 --> 08:27.214 Nearly ten weeks ago, it was the evening of the 23rd of May, 08:27.381 --> 08:29.007 he called me into his private room. 08:39.435 --> 08:42.896 Ah, Percy, my dear boy! 08:43.147 --> 08:44.064 Good evening, sir. 08:44.941 --> 08:47.234 You've heard of the Naval Treaty 08:47.902 --> 08:51.571 that has just been drawn up between England and Italy? 08:52.073 --> 08:53.406 I've read rumors in the press, sir. 08:53.824 --> 08:57.827 Most regrettable, and it is of the utmost importance 08:57.954 --> 08:59.371 that nothing further should leak out. 08:59.747 --> 09:01.665 The French and Russian embassies 09:02.041 --> 09:04.876 would pay an immense sum to learn its contents. 09:06.295 --> 09:10.257 This is the original. It should not leave my bureau- 09:10.800 --> 09:13.093 were it not absolutely necessary to have it copied. 09:13.970 --> 09:15.762 Take it straight to your office and lock it up. 09:16.013 --> 09:20.058 Now, remain behind when the others go, 09:20.726 --> 09:23.520 so that you can work at your leisure and without fear of being overlooked. 09:25.231 --> 09:26.606 And when you have finished, 09:27.024 --> 09:30.777 relock both the original and the draft in your own desk, 09:31.654 --> 09:34.781 and hand them over to me personally tomorrow morning. 09:36.075 --> 09:39.119 The very greatest care, Nephew. 09:40.788 --> 09:41.955 You may rely on it, sir. 09:42.582 --> 09:46.042 This treaty, can you be more precise as to its nature? 09:47.128 --> 09:49.462 Well, in outline it defined the position of Great Britain 09:49.630 --> 09:52.215 towards the Triple Alliance in the event of the French fleet 09:52.341 --> 09:54.968 gaining complete ascendancy over Italy in the Mediterranean. 09:56.929 --> 09:59.973 I returned straight to my office where I found a colleague of mine, 10:00.141 --> 10:02.100 Mr. Charles Gorot, still working. 10:03.644 --> 10:04.394 Well, chap. 10:07.148 --> 10:08.607 What did Uncle want? 10:10.192 --> 10:12.068 To congratulate me on my engagement. 10:13.779 --> 10:14.487 Splendid. 10:34.508 --> 10:35.175 Nothing else? 10:38.554 --> 10:41.181 Some fishing dispute he wanted me to copy. 10:53.861 --> 10:56.363 You're not still on that Bulgarian piece, are you? 10:56.614 --> 11:01.868 It's extremely long-winded and tiresome, and I am fagged out for the night. 11:03.871 --> 11:04.996 You working late again? 11:07.124 --> 11:08.124 Just a few things. 11:08.709 --> 11:10.168 You want to slack off a bit, old man. 11:11.045 --> 11:12.879 Ambition is a fine thing and all that, 11:13.714 --> 11:16.549 but do not neglect the beautiful Miss Harrison. 11:17.051 --> 11:18.843 Some other chap might step in. 11:20.429 --> 11:21.721 She wouldn't have you, Charles. 11:21.889 --> 11:24.557 Well, not me, old man. I've got my Daphne. 11:26.686 --> 11:27.352 Goodnight to you. 11:28.062 --> 11:28.645 Goodnight. 11:41.367 --> 11:43.660 You made sure that he was gone before you started work? 11:44.912 --> 11:48.748 Quite sure, and I copied as fast as I could, for I knew that Joseph, 11:49.417 --> 11:50.250 my fiance's brother? 11:50.459 --> 11:51.751 We met him in the garden. 11:52.962 --> 11:54.254 He was in town, and was, 11:54.422 --> 11:56.506 traveling back to Woking by the 11:00 o'clock train. 11:56.632 --> 11:58.174 And I wanted to catch it. If possible. 11:58.968 --> 12:00.385 But it was a long document? 12:01.679 --> 12:02.762 Written in French. 12:09.103 --> 12:14.399 By 9:00 o'clock, I was feeling drowsy and scarcely a third of the way through. 12:15.484 --> 12:17.569 I thought a cup of coffee might clear my brain, 12:17.695 --> 12:20.697 so I rang the commissioner who stays on duty all night 12:20.823 --> 12:22.949 in a small lodge at the bottom of the stairs. 12:31.625 --> 12:34.794 To my surprise, it was a woman who answered the summons. 12:37.548 --> 12:39.966 I'm sorry, I was ringing for Mr. Tangey. 12:41.302 --> 12:44.637 I'm his wife, sir, I do the char work in this building. 12:45.431 --> 12:50.435 Ah, well, I was wondering if you might bring me a cup of coffee. 12:52.354 --> 12:53.813 I'll go and ask him, sir. 12:54.398 --> 12:59.486 This woman, you've never noticed her in the building before? 12:59.987 --> 13:00.570 Never. 13:01.989 --> 13:09.662 The coffee was some time coming, so I went down to investigate. 13:10.206 --> 13:11.664 Leaving the room unguarded? 13:14.376 --> 13:15.001 Yes. 13:19.298 --> 13:22.342 I found Tangey asleep. 13:38.025 --> 13:42.195 Mr. Phelps, sir, I'm very sorry, sir. 13:43.197 --> 13:45.198 I must have just dropped off for a moment. 13:47.034 --> 13:48.034 Your coffee, sir. 13:52.248 --> 13:54.874 Well, if you're here, sir, who's ringing the bell? 13:55.876 --> 13:57.627 Bell, what bell is it? 13:57.878 --> 14:00.046 It's the bell in the room in which you're working, sir. 14:05.261 --> 14:09.055 You ran back upstairs and the document was gone from your desk. 14:11.642 --> 14:14.644 Yes! God no... 14:19.900 --> 14:22.235 You passed no one in the corridor? 14:22.528 --> 14:27.073 No one, there was no one! And the room, and the corridor, 14:28.075 --> 14:30.159 all seemed exactly as I'd left it! 14:30.578 --> 14:32.871 Percy has drawn a rough chart of the building, Mr. Holmes, 14:32.997 --> 14:34.330 which he thought might be of use. 14:34.456 --> 14:37.417 Yes, yes, that's of the utmost importance, Mr. Holmes. 14:41.297 --> 14:42.547 Yes, I think I quite follow it. 14:43.549 --> 14:46.259 On your discovery of the theft, what did you do then? 14:46.594 --> 14:49.762 I recognized in an instant the thief must have come up through the side door. 14:51.348 --> 14:52.098 This one here. 14:53.309 --> 14:55.602 Yes, of course. Well, you'd have met him if he'd come the other way. 14:56.604 --> 14:58.938 And you are satisfied that they could not have been concealed 14:59.106 --> 15:00.398 in the room or in the corridor? 15:00.858 --> 15:04.068 Absolutely impossible. All the other doors were locked. 15:04.278 --> 15:05.695 Strict Foreign Office regulations. 15:08.115 --> 15:12.368 There was no cover at all. A rat couldn't have concealed himself there. 15:16.790 --> 15:20.460 Tangey and I both rushed out down the stairs that lead into Charles Street. 15:21.378 --> 15:24.255 The door at the bottom was closed, unlocked. 15:25.257 --> 15:27.216 It was dark, raining. 15:29.803 --> 15:30.637 There was no one! 15:33.474 --> 15:37.226 But I distinctly remember the three-quarters of Big Ben. 15:38.979 --> 15:42.065 A quarter to ten. 15:43.484 --> 15:45.234 That is of enormous importance. 15:46.487 --> 15:48.571 They came out here, you see, Holmes. 15:50.449 --> 15:52.992 On the corner we found a policeman, but he'd seen no one leave the building 15:53.160 --> 15:55.453 in the last quarter of an hour except for the Commissioner's wife, 15:55.913 --> 15:57.330 so we ran through to Whitehall. 15:58.832 --> 16:03.336 It was full of traffic, people coming and going, 16:04.338 --> 16:08.508 all only too eager to find a place of shelter on so wet a night. 16:09.093 --> 16:10.969 No lounger to tell you who'd passed? 16:11.512 --> 16:12.136 None. 16:12.888 --> 16:14.347 Had it been raining all evening? 16:15.641 --> 16:16.766 Since about 7:00. 16:17.309 --> 16:22.188 Ah, this chain of events is certainly of extraordinary interest. 16:23.023 --> 16:27.276 And so you returned to the office, examined it, I presume, 16:27.403 --> 16:29.696 to see if the intruder had left any traces 16:30.531 --> 16:34.659 muddy foot marks, any cigar end, or dropped glove, hairpin? 16:35.536 --> 16:36.285 There was nothing. 16:37.788 --> 16:41.040 Except the tangible fact that the Commissioner's wife had- 16:41.208 --> 16:43.376 run out of the building not ten minutes earlier. 16:45.754 --> 16:48.131 What did you do next, Mr. Phelps? 16:48.549 --> 16:52.051 The constable alerted Scotland Yard. 16:54.054 --> 16:59.684 It was then for the first time the full horror of my situation came upon me. 17:01.520 --> 17:03.688 I'd been so confident of regaining the treaty, 17:05.065 --> 17:05.732 I dared not think... 17:08.902 --> 17:12.238 Watson will tell you I was a nervous, sensitive boy at school. 17:13.615 --> 17:14.532 It's my nature. 17:16.660 --> 17:21.330 I thought of my uncle, his cabinet colleagues, 17:22.458 --> 17:27.170 the shame I'd brought upon them, myself, 17:29.548 --> 17:31.090 everyone connected with me. 17:32.801 --> 17:35.261 Although I was the victim of an accident, 17:36.764 --> 17:41.434 there are no allowance for accidents in diplomatic circles. 17:42.644 --> 17:43.394 ...Ruined, 17:44.813 --> 17:49.567 shamefully, hopelessly ruined! 17:50.319 --> 17:51.277 Steady on, old chap. 17:58.827 --> 18:00.453 Stand back, will you, Holmes. 18:24.436 --> 18:25.812 Is the investigation concluded? 18:26.188 --> 18:26.813 Adjourned. 18:31.485 --> 18:36.114 Poor old Percy, terrible strain, all this, career in the balance. 18:37.574 --> 18:39.492 It seems not to have affected your sister's devotion. 18:39.660 --> 18:41.244 How long has she known Mr. Phelps? 18:41.495 --> 18:43.913 Well, they met in Northumberland in the winter. 18:44.289 --> 18:47.125 Percy was traveling on government business in that part of the world. 18:47.709 --> 18:48.835 It was love at first sight. 18:49.086 --> 18:50.586 Do your people approve of the match? 18:50.921 --> 18:52.672 Indeed, Mr. Holmes, 18:53.715 --> 18:57.260 especially when they learned of Percy's connection with Lord Holdhurst. 18:57.553 --> 18:59.470 My father is an iron-master, 18:59.596 --> 19:02.181 and a staunch supporter of the Conservative Party. 19:02.516 --> 19:05.184 She came down here to meet Percy's people, and you came as escort? 19:06.186 --> 19:07.645 Sure, just before they left for America. 19:08.522 --> 19:13.860 The the wedding is planned for September, if the poor chap recovers. 19:13.986 --> 19:17.155 I suppose you only intended a short visit, and then came the smash? 19:22.870 --> 19:25.496 May I ask you what your occupation is 19:25.622 --> 19:28.207 that allows you to while away the summer in Woking? 19:29.376 --> 19:30.793 As the eldest son, Mr. Holmes, 19:30.919 --> 19:33.880 I have expectations of inheriting my father's business. 19:34.464 --> 19:39.218 I also dabble in stocks and shares, which grants me a certain independence. 19:40.387 --> 19:42.513 My apologies if my question offended you. 19:45.392 --> 19:47.894 On the night of May the 23rd had you arranged 19:48.770 --> 19:51.397 to meet Mr. Phelps at Waterloo to take the 11:00 o'clock train together? 19:51.857 --> 19:54.734 No. That may have been his intention, 19:54.860 --> 19:57.236 he knew I was in London dining with my stockbroker. 19:57.696 --> 19:59.530 But I wasn't expecting to meet him. 20:00.908 --> 20:02.909 Then thank you for your time, Mr. Harrison. 20:03.202 --> 20:07.580 Shall I, and would you, the sick room. 20:16.173 --> 20:18.174 Mr. Holmes, I do apologize. 20:18.300 --> 20:21.260 I feel calmer now, thanks to Watson's ministration. 20:23.722 --> 20:25.097 Gently with him, Holmes. 20:27.476 --> 20:32.230 Mr. Phelps, there is just the matter of the Commissioner's wife. 20:32.689 --> 20:33.606 Yes, of course. 20:34.441 --> 20:37.693 As I remember, shortly after our return to my office, 20:38.153 --> 20:40.071 Inspector Forbes of the Yard arrived 20:40.197 --> 20:43.032 to take up the case with considerable energy. 20:43.450 --> 20:45.785 We hired a hansom, and within half an hour. 20:45.911 --> 20:47.620 We were at the Tangeys' home in Brixton. 20:48.288 --> 20:50.790 The door was opened by his eldest daughter. 20:52.292 --> 20:53.125 Hey, what do you want? 20:53.293 --> 20:54.418 Is your mother at home? 20:54.544 --> 20:57.463 Not yet. She does a night job... cleaning. 20:57.631 --> 21:00.299 We'll wait for her, if you don't mind. In here. 21:02.636 --> 21:05.096 And you get back in here, now go on, and shut the door. 21:09.476 --> 21:12.395 After about ten minutes, we heard the front door, 21:13.563 --> 21:17.233 and here we made one serious mistake for which I blame myself. 21:20.570 --> 21:23.322 Mum, there's two men in the parlor wants to talk to ya. 21:23.657 --> 21:24.573 Oh, my Lord! 21:34.501 --> 21:36.127 If it isn't Mr. Phelps of the office. 21:36.253 --> 21:38.462 Come, come, who did you think we were when you ran away from us? 21:38.588 --> 21:40.006 I thought you was the bailiffs. 21:40.632 --> 21:42.300 We've had some trouble with a tradesman. 21:48.348 --> 21:50.683 We've reason to believe that you've taken a paper of importance 21:50.809 --> 21:54.145 from the Foreign Office and you ran in here to dispose of it. 21:54.604 --> 21:56.522 Now, you better come back with us to Scotland Yard... 21:57.357 --> 22:00.609 Get your hands off me! I didn't take no paper! 22:26.178 --> 22:28.220 You made a full examination of the kitchen? 22:29.264 --> 22:32.683 Yes. There was no sign of the documents. 22:36.021 --> 22:39.732 A four-wheeler was brought and we all three drove back in it to Scotland Yard. 22:40.776 --> 22:43.069 I waited in an agony of suspense 22:43.528 --> 22:46.155 until the female searcher came back with her report. 22:46.490 --> 22:47.406 They found nothing. 22:48.158 --> 22:50.910 After that, I have no clear recollection. 22:52.287 --> 22:55.581 I believe a police officer drove me to Waterloo where 22:56.083 --> 22:59.418 by the merest good fortune, I met Dr. Ferrier, who lives near us and 23:00.128 --> 23:01.754 was traveling down by the next train. 23:02.381 --> 23:04.048 The train you caught now would have been... 23:04.424 --> 23:06.842 The 11:40, I think. 23:07.719 --> 23:10.429 Dr. Ferrier most kindly took charge of me. 23:11.264 --> 23:14.100 Just as well he did, for I had a fit in the station 23:14.267 --> 23:16.936 and before we reached home I was practically a raving lunatic. 23:19.272 --> 23:20.731 Your brother had already returned? 23:21.483 --> 23:26.278 Yes. I was surprised, but not unduly worried that he was alone. 23:27.030 --> 23:30.116 Percy often worked late, and I knew there was another train. 23:30.909 --> 23:32.034 So I went to bed. 23:33.453 --> 23:35.871 And sometime after midnight? 23:36.498 --> 23:40.126 I was woken by the most fearful commotion in the hall. 23:48.885 --> 23:51.637 Your brother was sleeping down here in this room? 23:51.805 --> 23:52.388 Yes. 23:52.556 --> 23:55.141 My family were taking advantage of their trip to America 23:55.267 --> 23:57.643 to have several of the upstairs bedrooms redecorated. 23:57.811 --> 24:00.438 It was evident that poor Percy was in for a long illness. 24:00.689 --> 24:03.649 So, Joseph was bundled up to my room, and, 24:04.067 --> 24:08.320 this was turned into a sick room for me. 24:16.329 --> 24:17.830 Why, it's a very cheery room. 24:21.251 --> 24:23.502 I have lain here for nine weeks, delirious. 24:24.671 --> 24:27.339 If it had not been for Miss Harrison and the doctor's care, 24:27.507 --> 24:29.592 I should not be speaking to you now. 24:30.635 --> 24:35.014 She nursed me by day, a hired nurse looked after me at night, 24:36.516 --> 24:39.768 for in the mad fits I was capable of anything. 24:40.395 --> 24:43.481 It's only in the last few days that my reason has slowly cleared. 24:47.027 --> 24:48.527 I've wired Inspector Forbes, 24:48.862 --> 24:51.197 but he's told me no clue has been discovered. 24:52.240 --> 24:56.035 So I turn to you, Mr. Holmes, as my last hope. 24:59.748 --> 25:02.708 Just one question of the utmost importance, Mr. Phelps. 25:02.834 --> 25:05.544 Did you tell anyone that you had this special task to perform? 25:06.880 --> 25:07.379 No one. 25:07.964 --> 25:09.465 Not Miss Harrison for example? 25:10.467 --> 25:13.677 No. I had not been back to Woking 25:14.221 --> 25:17.515 in between getting the order and executing the commission. 25:23.563 --> 25:27.233 What a lovely thing a rose is. 25:28.485 --> 25:31.737 There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary 25:33.615 --> 25:34.740 as in religion. 25:36.243 --> 25:39.328 It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. 25:40.664 --> 25:43.415 Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence 25:43.542 --> 25:45.668 seems to me to rest in the flowers. 25:46.711 --> 25:51.382 It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again 25:52.884 --> 25:57.555 we have much to hope for from the flowers. 26:03.520 --> 26:07.064 Do you see any prospect of solving this mystery. Mr. Holmes? 26:11.528 --> 26:12.111 Mystery? 26:13.530 --> 26:17.950 Ah, it would be absurd to deny 26:18.159 --> 26:20.286 that the case is abstruse and complicated. 26:20.829 --> 26:22.121 Do you see any clue? 26:22.455 --> 26:23.455 You have furnished me with seven, 26:23.582 --> 26:27.626 but I must put them to the test before I can pronounce on their value. 26:28.044 --> 26:29.295 You suspect someone? 26:29.588 --> 26:31.046 I suspect... 26:33.216 --> 26:33.799 myself. 26:34.467 --> 26:34.967 What? 26:35.635 --> 26:37.636 Of coming to conclusions too rapidly. 26:39.306 --> 26:43.142 Then go back to London and test your conclusions! 26:45.770 --> 26:48.814 Your advice is very excellent, Miss Harrison. 26:55.196 --> 26:59.491 Mr. Phelps, do not indulge yourself in false hopes, 26:59.618 --> 27:04.288 the affair is a very tangled one, and I am not a magician. 27:09.210 --> 27:13.088 Little varmint! 27:14.549 --> 27:16.133 What do you think of Miss Harrison? 27:16.968 --> 27:18.677 A good sort, or I'm mistaken. 27:20.013 --> 27:21.680 I thought you were rather terse with her. 27:21.848 --> 27:22.473 Was I? 27:23.433 --> 27:25.142 She was only protecting her loved one. 27:25.268 --> 27:27.353 A little overprotective, perhaps. 27:28.188 --> 27:31.023 Surely, you don't believe that she had anything to do with it? 27:32.525 --> 27:35.152 The most difficult crime to track down, Watson, 27:35.278 --> 27:38.322 is the one which is purposeless. Now, this is not purposeless, 27:39.157 --> 27:41.033 but who is it that profits by it? 27:41.951 --> 27:44.370 Well, there's the French Ambassador, the Russian, 27:44.871 --> 27:46.830 and whoever might sell it to either of those. 27:46.956 --> 27:51.043 And Lord Holdhurst. While it is not inconceivable 27:51.211 --> 27:53.504 that a statesman might find himself in a position 27:53.630 --> 27:54.880 where he was not sorry 27:55.048 --> 27:57.966 to see such a document accidentally destroyed. 27:58.093 --> 28:01.553 Not a statesman with the honorable record of Lord Holdhurst. 28:02.263 --> 28:05.516 George, the Foreign Office. 28:07.686 --> 28:09.144 Charles Street entrance. 28:10.939 --> 28:13.065 George, I want you to do something for me. 28:13.233 --> 28:15.526 Find the cab which dropped a fare there 28:15.652 --> 28:19.196 just after half past 9:00 on the evening of May the 23rd. 28:24.452 --> 28:27.579 Gorot, a French name. 28:28.581 --> 28:32.918 Huguenot, actually, but I'm as English in sympathy as you are, Mr. Holmes. 28:34.045 --> 28:37.256 Am I under some sort of cloud because of my name? 28:37.799 --> 28:40.092 Oh, no, no, Holmes has a French grandmother. 28:44.514 --> 28:48.267 I'd make yourself scarce if you want to avoid Inspector Forbes. 28:48.435 --> 28:50.769 We've arranged to meet him here in five minutes. 28:50.937 --> 28:55.691 Yes, I have been questioned by him already. 28:57.110 --> 28:58.402 I shall do as you say. 29:00.947 --> 29:01.780 Goodnight to you both. 29:01.990 --> 29:02.573 Goodnight. 29:04.909 --> 29:08.787 No secret doors, the windows quite 30 feet above the ground, 29:08.955 --> 29:10.581 fastened on the inner side. 29:17.255 --> 29:20.382 The carpet prevents any possibility of a trap door. 29:22.469 --> 29:26.805 Now, whoever rang the bell rope must have come right over to the desk. 29:28.308 --> 29:29.600 Why ring it? 29:32.687 --> 29:35.481 I mean, was it the thief, out of bravado? 29:36.983 --> 29:40.819 Or was it someone with the thief who tried to prevent the crime? 29:46.326 --> 29:46.992 Or was it... 29:54.709 --> 29:56.502 Inspector Forbes, I believe. 29:57.837 --> 30:03.509 Mr. Holmes, I'm a very busy man. I have other cases besides this one. 30:03.843 --> 30:06.595 But none so vital to the national interest, I'll wager. 30:08.807 --> 30:11.683 May I introduce my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson? 30:15.814 --> 30:19.691 What do you want from me, Holmes? I know about your methods. 30:20.443 --> 30:22.486 You're ready enough to use our information, 30:22.821 --> 30:25.989 then you try and finish the case yourself and bring discredit on us. 30:26.407 --> 30:31.829 On the contrary, in my last 53 cases, my name has appeared in only 4 30:31.996 --> 30:34.957 and the police have the credit in 49. 30:38.711 --> 30:40.712 I don't blame you for not knowing this, 30:40.839 --> 30:43.715 you are young and inexperienced. 30:44.300 --> 30:46.343 But if you wish to get on in your duties 30:46.469 --> 30:48.846 you will work with me and not against me! 30:48.972 --> 30:50.973 Now, then, what steps have you taken? 30:52.350 --> 30:54.226 Tangey, the commissioner, we've cleared. 30:55.228 --> 30:56.895 He left the Guards with a good character. 30:57.981 --> 31:00.065 His wife is a bad lot, though, she drinks. 31:01.568 --> 31:03.902 What about the clerk, Gorot? 31:05.113 --> 31:08.699 He's been shadowed all these nine weeks. We can show nothing against him. 31:09.242 --> 31:12.744 Have you formed any theory about how this bell rang? 31:13.454 --> 31:16.164 No. I must confess, that beats me. 31:17.000 --> 31:20.168 It was a cool hand, whoever it was, to go and give the alarm like that. 31:20.295 --> 31:23.088 Yes, yes, it was a very queer thing to do. 31:23.214 --> 31:24.423 Well, many thanks, Inspector, 31:24.549 --> 31:27.593 and if I can put this thief in your hands, you shall hear from me. 31:27.844 --> 31:28.886 Come along, Watson. 31:30.930 --> 31:32.598 May I ask where you're going now? 31:35.143 --> 31:39.605 To interview Lord Holdhurst, the Cabinet Minister 31:39.731 --> 31:42.190 and very possibly the next Premier of England. 31:43.151 --> 31:44.443 Good evening, Inspector. 31:47.322 --> 31:48.447 I can't pretend, Mr. Holmes. 31:48.615 --> 31:50.782 That I am ignorant of the reason for your visit, 31:51.951 --> 31:54.202 but in whose interests are you acting, may I ask? 31:54.537 --> 31:56.288 In the part of Mr. Percy Phelps. 31:56.456 --> 32:00.792 Ah, my unfortunate nephew. You can understand that our kinship 32:00.960 --> 32:04.796 makes it the more impossible for me to screen him in any way. 32:05.465 --> 32:09.301 Yes, but if the document is found, Lord Holdhurst? 32:09.427 --> 32:12.304 That, of course, would be different. 32:17.602 --> 32:20.145 Lord Holdhurst, it was in this room that you gave 32:20.855 --> 32:22.981 instructions for the copying of the document? 32:24.317 --> 32:25.067 It was. 32:26.945 --> 32:29.112 And you mentioned it to nobody else except your nephew, 32:29.238 --> 32:30.489 you're certain of that? 32:31.032 --> 32:31.990 Absolutely. 32:32.992 --> 32:34.493 Then if nobody else knew of it, 32:35.328 --> 32:39.957 you would agree that the thief's presence in your nephew's room 32:40.083 --> 32:43.168 was purely accidental. I mean, he saw his chance and took it. 32:45.922 --> 32:50.092 You take me out of my province there, Mr. Holmes. 32:52.345 --> 32:56.264 There is one other very important point. 32:57.850 --> 33:01.687 You feared, so I understand, that very grave results- 33:01.854 --> 33:05.691 might follow from the details of this treaty becoming known? 33:07.193 --> 33:09.695 Very grave results indeed. 33:10.905 --> 33:12.030 Have they occurred? 33:13.533 --> 33:14.199 Not yet. 33:15.368 --> 33:17.285 If the treaty had reached, let us say, 33:17.412 --> 33:20.163 the Russian or the French Foreign Office, 33:20.289 --> 33:21.832 you would expect to hear of it? 33:22.417 --> 33:24.209 I certainly should. 33:24.669 --> 33:27.212 Then since nearly ten weeks have elapsed, 33:27.839 --> 33:29.715 it is not unfair to suppose then 33:30.216 --> 33:33.719 that the treaty for some reason has not reached them. 33:36.431 --> 33:39.641 But Holmes, we can hardly suppose that the thief took the treaty in order to 33:41.102 --> 33:43.020 frame it and hang it on his wall. 33:45.982 --> 33:50.235 Well, perhaps he's waiting for a better price, Watson. 33:53.031 --> 33:54.740 Or maybe he's had a sudden illness. 33:57.035 --> 33:59.077 A brain storm, for example? 34:03.374 --> 34:04.499 I did not say so. 34:06.419 --> 34:09.421 Lord Holdhurst, we have taken up too much of your valuable time. 34:14.427 --> 34:18.388 Fine fellow, heavy responsibilities. 34:18.514 --> 34:22.434 Yes, but he has a struggle to keep up his position, and he's far from rich. 34:25.521 --> 34:28.565 You noticed, of course, that his boots had been resoled. 34:30.109 --> 34:30.942 Really? 34:34.489 --> 34:37.949 I shall do nothing more today unless I get an answer to my cab inquiry. 34:46.793 --> 34:47.459 All right. 34:55.676 --> 34:59.137 Oh, Watson, I won't detain you any longer from your legitimate work. 35:00.264 --> 35:01.890 But I should be extremely obliged 35:02.016 --> 35:03.975 if you would come down to Woking with me tomorrow, 35:04.143 --> 35:05.977 the same train that we took today. 35:06.896 --> 35:07.813 Yes, of course. 35:12.235 --> 35:12.984 Goodnight, Holmes. 35:19.951 --> 35:25.497 No, no, tonight I shall sleep my own sleep, and alone. 35:26.082 --> 35:27.082 But Percy. 35:27.291 --> 35:30.919 Mr. Holmes has imbued me with fresh hope, and I feel I'm on the mend. 35:32.421 --> 35:36.633 We have an appointment in church in September, my love, 35:37.009 --> 35:38.468 and I mean to keep it. 36:06.372 --> 36:07.664 He sent the nurse away. 36:08.791 --> 36:09.708 At last. 36:11.210 --> 36:13.879 He puts too much faith in the great detective. 36:14.255 --> 36:16.548 It's you that's kept his flame alive, not some detective. 36:17.133 --> 36:21.219 And you, brother. Without you to support me... 37:34.293 --> 37:37.629 Could it be that I am the center of some monstrous conspiracy, 37:38.631 --> 37:41.132 and that my life is aimed at, as well as my honor? 37:41.759 --> 37:43.927 I haven't as far as I know, an enemy in the world! 37:44.053 --> 37:47.305 You certainly have had your share of misfortune, old chap. 37:49.725 --> 37:52.477 I think I may have found the spot where the fella scaled the wall! 37:57.692 --> 37:58.650 It's towards the road. 38:00.069 --> 38:03.154 Ah, do you think this was done last night? It looks rather old to me. 38:03.281 --> 38:05.156 No, I fancy we shall get no help there. 38:05.324 --> 38:10.662 Now, why did the intruder choose the window onto the courtyard? 38:10.830 --> 38:13.748 I should have thought this side of the house would have been easier. 38:13.958 --> 38:15.792 It's more visible from the courtyard. 38:15.918 --> 38:19.963 Ah, yes, of course. Have you ever had an alarm like this before? 38:20.298 --> 38:23.300 There's no plate in the house, or anything to attract burglars? 38:23.884 --> 38:24.843 Nothing of value. 38:28.681 --> 38:30.015 Was there anything in London? 38:30.516 --> 38:34.352 Well, we've seen Inspector Forbes, we've seen your uncle. 38:35.438 --> 38:37.314 Holmes has set one or two things in motion. 38:37.565 --> 38:39.024 So you've not lost heart. 38:39.525 --> 38:41.026 Oh, by no means! 38:42.528 --> 38:43.820 God bless you for saying that. 38:43.946 --> 38:48.366 If we keep our courage and patience, the truth must come out. 38:52.872 --> 38:56.708 Miss Harrison, you must remain in this room for the rest of the day. 38:57.251 --> 39:00.045 It is of vital importance. Now, tonight, when you go to bed, 39:00.546 --> 39:02.881 lock that door from the outside and keep the key. 39:04.300 --> 39:06.217 Tell no one! Now, quick, promise! 39:09.388 --> 39:10.555 Why are you moping in here, honey? 39:11.474 --> 39:13.892 Come out in the sunshine. I'll be your crockie. 39:16.479 --> 39:18.229 I have a slight headache 39:18.731 --> 39:22.400 and this room is deliciously cool and soothing, thank you, Joseph. 39:23.027 --> 39:26.654 Mr. Phelps, while we're investigating this minor affair 39:26.781 --> 39:29.741 we must not lose sight of our main inquiry. 39:31.577 --> 39:35.080 It would help me very much if you would come up to London with us. 39:35.206 --> 39:36.331 Do you feel strong enough? 39:36.791 --> 39:39.709 Yes, if you really think I can be of help. 39:40.294 --> 39:41.836 Do you want me to stay the night? 39:42.797 --> 39:44.422 I was on the point of proposing it. 39:45.299 --> 39:47.217 Then if my friend of the night comes to visit me, 39:47.343 --> 39:50.261 he'll find the bird flown, But, what about Annie? 39:50.429 --> 39:52.263 Ah, Mr. Harrison will look after her, 39:52.390 --> 39:54.933 and my friend Watson will take care of your medical needs. 39:55.267 --> 39:56.893 Could you be ready to leave in an hour? 39:57.937 --> 39:59.771 We are all in your hands, Mr. Holmes. 40:09.073 --> 40:10.907 There are one or two points I wish to clear up, 40:11.033 --> 40:14.619 and your absence, Mr. Phelps. Will rather assist me. 40:15.287 --> 40:19.040 Watson, when you reach London, drive our friend straight to Baker Street 40:19.166 --> 40:21.459 and remain with him until I see you again. 40:22.503 --> 40:25.296 And now, gentlemen, I shall leave you. 40:26.048 --> 40:28.383 What about our investigation in London? 40:28.634 --> 40:31.094 I hope to be in London in time for breakfast. 40:33.597 --> 40:36.599 He really is the most inscrutable fellow, Watson. 41:02.501 --> 41:06.254 Oh, you're still in here. How's your headache? 41:06.839 --> 41:07.797 A little better. 41:10.676 --> 41:13.678 The first day for nine weeks without the invalid, 41:15.764 --> 41:17.474 and you choose to spend it in here. 41:18.309 --> 41:19.350 Force of habit. 41:21.228 --> 41:22.437 Are you dining tonight? 41:23.355 --> 41:25.940 I'm not hungry, and I'm enjoying my book. 41:26.400 --> 41:27.692 Mm, I understand. 41:30.154 --> 41:33.990 My poor little sister, what a time you've had. 42:21.121 --> 42:23.748 That'll be Mr. Holmes returning now, sir. 42:25.417 --> 42:26.376 Thank you, Horace. 42:36.679 --> 42:38.096 He looks like a beaten man. 42:39.014 --> 42:40.598 I confess you may be right. 42:46.355 --> 42:47.772 I'd hoped for so much! 43:02.413 --> 43:03.955 Holmes, you're wounded! 43:04.748 --> 43:06.791 Oh, it's only a scratch through my own clumsiness. 43:06.917 --> 43:08.960 Good morning, Mr. Phelps. This case of yours 43:09.128 --> 43:12.547 is certainly one of the darkest I have ever investigated. 43:16.594 --> 43:18.303 It has been a remarkable experience. 43:18.470 --> 43:21.472 Oh, come along, Holmes, that bandage tells of adventures. 43:21.640 --> 43:23.141 Now, what happened? 43:23.309 --> 43:24.642 After breakfast, my dear Watson. 43:24.768 --> 43:28.146 Remember, I have breathed 30 miles of Surrey air this morning. 43:28.355 --> 43:31.316 There's been no answer to my cab inquiry, I suppose? 43:31.650 --> 43:33.443 Well, one cannot score every time. 43:33.902 --> 43:37.822 Mrs. Hudson, you have risen to the occasion. 43:38.324 --> 43:39.824 Won't you join us. Mr. Phelps? 43:39.992 --> 43:41.826 Now, what's in this? 43:41.994 --> 43:43.328 Curried chicken, sir. 43:43.454 --> 43:44.162 And this? 43:44.330 --> 43:45.496 Ham and eggs. 43:46.165 --> 43:47.832 Her cuisine is a little limited, 43:47.958 --> 43:51.461 but she has as good an idea of breakfast as any Scotswoman. 43:51.629 --> 43:54.422 Now, what will you take, Mr. Phelps, curried fowl, eggs, 43:54.548 --> 43:55.673 or will you help yourself? 43:55.841 --> 43:57.175 Thank you. I can eat nothing. 43:57.343 --> 43:59.260 Oh, please, try the dish before you. 43:59.386 --> 44:01.346 Thank you, I would really rather not. 44:01.639 --> 44:04.599 Oh, well, then, I suppose you have no objection to helping me? 44:22.201 --> 44:23.034 It's the treaty, 44:28.499 --> 44:31.709 It's the treaty, it's the treaty... 44:32.711 --> 44:35.713 My God, it's the treaty! 44:45.182 --> 44:46.391 Watson, brandy, 44:49.019 --> 44:49.977 Ah, there, there, there, 44:50.104 --> 44:52.563 it really was too bad of me to spring it on you like that, 44:52.731 --> 44:56.359 but Watson here will tell you that I never can resist a touch of the dramatic. 44:56.568 --> 44:58.903 God bless you for saving my honor. 45:02.449 --> 45:03.574 Thank you, Mrs. Hudson. 45:03.867 --> 45:08.830 Thank you for your many considerations. 45:10.582 --> 45:15.753 A Scotswoman's breakfast, indeed, a silly bit of paper! 45:16.839 --> 45:21.926 Please, tell me how you got it, where it was! 45:23.095 --> 45:26.889 After I left you I settled myself into the English countryside 45:27.015 --> 45:29.058 and spent a charming afternoon. 45:30.436 --> 45:36.107 I remained there until dusk, and then I returned to your house. 45:36.942 --> 45:38.276 I clambered over the wall 45:38.736 --> 45:41.112 and made my way through the undergrowth 45:41.697 --> 45:46.534 until I reached the stables. Just opposite your bedroom window. 45:48.412 --> 45:50.580 The blind in your window had not yet been drawn, 45:50.706 --> 45:56.461 and I could see Miss Harrison reading a book by the light from a lamp, 45:59.047 --> 46:01.966 It was about a quarter-past ten when she closed the book, 46:02.634 --> 46:06.804 moved across the room, carrying the lamp with her. 46:09.641 --> 46:12.477 But I felt quite sure that she had turned the key in the lock. 46:13.771 --> 46:14.312 Key? 46:15.147 --> 46:18.316 The instructions I gave her, which she carried out to the letter. 46:19.151 --> 46:24.155 Mr. Phelps, she is a lady of rare character. Without her cooperation, 46:24.281 --> 46:26.240 you would not have that paper in your hand now. 46:27.659 --> 46:29.410 It was a weary vigil, 46:30.370 --> 46:33.456 but it had the sort of excitement a sportsman feels 46:33.582 --> 46:37.126 when he lies before the watercourse and waits for the big game. 46:43.091 --> 46:44.675 What happened, what happened? 46:46.011 --> 46:47.678 It was about 2:00 o'clock in the morning, 46:48.514 --> 46:52.183 when I heard the gentle sound of a bolt being pushed back. 47:35.853 --> 47:39.730 All right. All right, Holmes, what you gonna do with me? 47:42.568 --> 47:43.693 I've got what I want. 47:45.529 --> 47:46.737 Ow! Run. 48:04.047 --> 48:05.089 Joseph! 48:07.301 --> 48:08.926 You let him go! 48:09.887 --> 48:12.430 I wired full particulars to Inspector Forbes. 48:13.015 --> 48:15.016 If he's quick enough to catch his bird, well and good. 48:15.142 --> 48:17.602 But if, as I shrewdly suspect, he finds the nest empty, 48:17.769 --> 48:19.604 why, all the better for the government. 48:21.273 --> 48:25.776 I fancy Lord Holdhurst, for one, and Mr. Percy Phelps for another, 48:26.528 --> 48:30.114 would much rather the affair never got to a police court. 48:30.741 --> 48:34.243 My God, do you tell me that during my 10 long weeks of agony 48:34.369 --> 48:37.622 the stolen papers were in the very room with me all the time? 48:40.375 --> 48:44.295 And Joseph, a villain and a thief! 48:45.422 --> 48:48.758 From what I gather, he had lost heavily dabbling in stocks, 48:48.967 --> 48:54.221 and concealed the fact from his father, a man of strictly conservative habits. 48:54.640 --> 48:57.141 Yes, but his own sister's happiness, 48:57.976 --> 49:00.728 and your reputation, your health! 49:01.939 --> 49:05.316 He knew that you often worked late, 49:05.609 --> 49:08.986 and he was in town having dinner with his stockbroker, as he told me. 49:09.821 --> 49:12.156 But he was free by half past 9:00, 49:13.116 --> 49:16.619 and called by your office, entering through the side door. 49:17.329 --> 49:17.995 Percy? 49:27.339 --> 49:28.839 Finding no one in there 49:29.257 --> 49:32.635 but the light on and work evidently in progress, 49:33.095 --> 49:34.011 he rang the bell. 49:35.389 --> 49:38.808 The instant he did so, his eye caught the paper on the table. 49:39.685 --> 49:42.353 He knew at once that chance had put in his way 49:42.521 --> 49:44.939 a state document of immense value. 49:58.495 --> 49:59.996 Returned alone to Woking 50:00.205 --> 50:03.457 and concealed it in what he thought was a very safe place, 50:03.583 --> 50:07.378 intending to remove it in a day or two, and take it to the French embassy 50:07.546 --> 50:10.047 or wherever he thought a long price was to be had. 50:16.179 --> 50:19.223 Then came your sudden return. 50:20.392 --> 50:23.394 Without a moment's warning he was bundled out of his room 50:24.021 --> 50:25.146 and from that moment on, 50:25.313 --> 50:27.732 there were always at least two of you in there, 50:28.233 --> 50:32.403 preventing him from regaining his treasure, maddening for him. 50:34.948 --> 50:38.909 My suspicions became certainties when the attempt to break in was made 50:39.077 --> 50:42.747 on the first night that the hired nurse was absent, which showed 50:43.832 --> 50:46.709 that the intruder was well accustomed with the ways of the house. 50:47.919 --> 50:50.421 At last, he had his chance. 50:51.214 --> 50:54.258 But you baffled him with your wakefulness. 50:54.634 --> 50:57.553 Yes! I didn't take my sleeping draft! 50:58.513 --> 51:00.681 But he had another chance when you came up to London. 51:01.266 --> 51:05.186 I kept Miss Harrison in the room all day so as to anticipate him. 51:07.647 --> 51:09.857 But if you already knew the papers were in the room? 51:10.734 --> 51:12.234 I thought they probably were, 51:12.569 --> 51:15.446 but I had no desire to rip up all the skirting in search of them. 51:16.239 --> 51:18.115 By allowing him to lead me to the hiding place, 51:18.283 --> 51:20.451 I saved myself an infinity of trouble. 51:20.786 --> 51:23.287 And caught him red-handed! 51:23.997 --> 51:24.580 Quite so. 51:25.540 --> 51:27.249 Yes, but why did he try the window 51:27.375 --> 51:28.918 when he might have come in through the door? 51:29.211 --> 51:31.462 To appear to be a burglar, and if necessary, 51:31.630 --> 51:33.756 make good his escape across the courtyard. 51:35.133 --> 51:39.386 The knife, you don't think he had any murderous intentions? 51:41.556 --> 51:44.892 My dear fellow, I can only say that Mr. Joseph Harrison is a gentleman 51:45.018 --> 51:48.646 to whose mercy I should be extremely unwilling to trust. 51:49.648 --> 51:51.941 That will be a young lady for you, Mr. Phelps. 51:55.862 --> 51:56.445 Annie! 51:57.030 --> 52:00.658 I left her a note to come to London the moment she woke. 52:00.826 --> 52:05.746 But Mr. Phelps. She knows nothing as yet of her brother's criminality. 52:07.040 --> 52:08.833 Oh, yes. 52:11.128 --> 52:14.839 My dear Holmes, I can't thank you enough. 52:19.302 --> 52:22.012 I shall go down at once and explain everything. 52:25.851 --> 52:30.146 Percy, good-bye, and good luck! 52:35.485 --> 52:37.278 Thank you for restoring my happiness. 52:41.491 --> 52:43.200 There's a young lady at the door, sir. 52:45.412 --> 52:48.372 Mr. Holmes, hot water!
