Holmes has told me of Brunton's extraordinary gifts. 10:03.978 --> 10:06.938 I remember on my last visit where he spent several hours 10:07.064 --> 10:08.648 explaining to me in French, 10:12.653 --> 10:15.155 the origins of the piccolo! 10:16.574 --> 10:19.659 It is wonderful that he should be satisfied 10:19.827 --> 10:22.329 for so long with such a position 10:24.081 --> 10:27.167 but I suppose... I suppose he's been comfortable 10:27.335 --> 10:30.670 and lacked the energy to make a change. 10:31.505 --> 10:32.922 Oh yes, indeed. 10:34.008 --> 10:35.675 The butler of Hurlstone. 10:36.427 --> 10:39.304 It's always a thing that is remembered by all who visit us. 10:39.513 --> 10:41.181 Oh dear, Musgrave! 10:43.017 --> 10:45.352 However, this paragon does have one fault, 10:46.896 --> 10:48.146 a bit of a Don Juan. 10:49.357 --> 10:52.025 Well it's not a difficult part to play in quiet country district. 10:52.777 --> 10:55.362 When he was married he was all right, but since he's become a widower 10:55.529 --> 10:56.863 we've had no end of trouble with him. 10:57.698 --> 10:59.032 I remember a few months ago we were in hopes 10:59.158 --> 11:02.202 he was about to settle down again. He became engaged to Rachel Howells, 11:02.328 --> 11:05.205 my second housemaid but he has thrown her over. 11:05.498 --> 11:08.208 Taken up with Janet Tregallis, my gamekeeper's daughter, 11:09.251 --> 11:13.046 Rachel is a very good girl but she is of an excitable Welsh temperament. 11:13.547 --> 11:16.341 Now she wonders around like a black-eyed shadow, 11:17.468 --> 11:19.219 thoroughly unsettling the household. 11:22.556 --> 11:23.556 Rachel? 11:56.799 --> 11:59.426 Good morning, Holmes, Sir Reginald. 12:20.072 --> 12:20.905 Thank you. 12:23.492 --> 12:24.951 Where's Brunton this morning? 12:26.912 --> 12:28.037 It's all right, it's all right. 12:29.915 --> 12:31.750 Nothing.

Come back when you're feeling stronger. 12:48.934 --> 12:50.560 I am strong enough, sir. 12:50.686 --> 12:54.564 I'll be the judge of that. You must go to your room and lie down. 12:54.774 --> 12:58.651 And on your way, tell Brunton that I wish to see him. 13:00.154 --> 13:01.321 The butler is gone. 13:02.823 --> 13:04.991 Gone? Gone where? 13:05.201 --> 13:08.953 He's gone. He's not in his room now. No one's seen him 13:09.997 --> 13:13.082 Oh, yes, yes, he's gone. He's gone. 13:23.469 --> 13:24.260 It's all right. 13:26.847 --> 13:28.515 It's all right. Gently... 13:37.525 --> 13:42.612 Gently, Rachel, it's all right. Gently, Rachel, gently. Gentle. 14:07.763 --> 14:10.557 The bed's not been slept in. Have you searched the house? 14:11.225 --> 14:12.308 From cellar to garret. 14:12.476 --> 14:14.519 The girl's right. There's no trace of him. He's gone. 14:14.937 --> 14:16.479 It is difficult to see how a man could have left. 14:17.189 --> 14:19.566 I mean the windows and door are all fastened. 14:20.276 --> 14:21.401 What man goes away in the middle of the night 14:21.569 --> 14:25.029 and leaves all his possessions behind? And money, watch... 14:25.406 --> 14:27.407 I've given the girl something to calm her down 14:27.575 --> 14:30.577 and I've taken the liberty of sending for a local nurse. 14:30.744 --> 14:33.913 She's in a most unusual nervous state 14:34.373 --> 14:36.249 and should on no account, be left alone for a while. 14:36.417 --> 14:38.668 This is the girl who was engaged to Brunton? 14:38.878 --> 14:40.545 Rachel Howells, yes, yes. 14:40.671 --> 14:42.922 Girl with a fiery Welsh temper. 14:43.048 --> 14:44.007 Oh, Watson. 14:44.174 --> 14:46.676 Look, gentlemen, I had no intention that this 14:46.802 --> 14:49.888 small domestic incident should ruin your weekend. 14:50.306 --> 14:52.348 I propose we continue our plans for a shoot 14:53.100 --> 14:56.895 and, and we'll return hopefully to some simple explanation. 15:24.840 --> 15:25.798 Holmes! 15:30.763 --> 15:32.096 Well done, Watson. 15:45.152 --> 15:46.110 Holmes. 15:47.780 --> 15:52.617 Holmes, as I was telling Watson, something happened last night, which... 15:53.035 --> 15:55.078 may throw some light on this matter. 15:56.580 --> 15:58.957 This is very embarrassing but I... 16:00.501 --> 16:02.502 I find I need your advice. 16:04.421 --> 16:08.800 I couldn't sleep after foolishly taking that cup of café noir after dinner, 16:09.009 --> 16:11.094 and about two o'clock I gave up the struggle 16:11.428 --> 16:15.098 I came downstairs to fetch a novel I'm reading, which I'd left in the library. 16:15.307 --> 16:19.143 Well, you can imagine my surprise when I saw a glimmer of light 16:19.728 --> 16:21.187 coming from the open door. 16:22.398 --> 16:26.275 I'd remembered I had extinguished the lamp and closed the door when we retired. 16:27.736 --> 16:30.029 Naturally, my first thought was of burglars. 17:08.068 --> 17:11.571 So, this is how you repay my trust, 17:13.115 --> 17:15.324 prying into my family documents? 17:17.161 --> 17:18.828 You will leave my service tomorrow. 17:57.117 --> 17:58.409 Mr. Musgrave, sir, 18:00.287 --> 18:01.788 I can't bear disgrace. 18:03.582 --> 18:06.125 I've always been proud about my station in life, 18:07.211 --> 18:08.419 and disgrace would kill me. 18:10.589 --> 18:12.131 My blood will be on your head, sir. 18:13.050 --> 18:15.218 It will indeed if you drive me to despair. 18:16.345 --> 18:16.969 What? 18:17.679 --> 18:20.223 If you cannot keep me after this, then for God sake 18:21.475 --> 18:25.311 let me give you notice and leave in a month as of my own free will 18:25.437 --> 18:27.146 A month is too long. 18:27.356 --> 18:28.815 I could stand that, Mr. Musgrave, 18:28.982 --> 18:33.152 but not to be cast out before all the folk I know so well. 18:33.487 --> 18:38.825 You don't deserve consideration, Brunton. Your conduct has been infamous. 18:41.036 --> 18:43.913 However, I've no wish to bring public disgrace upon you. 18:44.748 --> 18:47.291 You take yourself away in a week, and you give whatever reason you like. 18:47.835 --> 18:48.835 A week, sir? 18:50.462 --> 18:51.587 Only a week? 18:53.215 --> 18:56.175 A fortnight... say at least a fortnight? 18:56.301 --> 18:57.176 No, a week! 18:58.011 --> 19:00.847 And you may consider yourself to have been very leniently dealt with. 19:09.022 --> 19:12.859 But what is strange is that he seemed most anxious to stay. 19:13.527 --> 19:15.653 Well, it's quite plain to me what happened. 19:16.405 --> 19:18.823 He went back to his room, thought it over, 19:19.324 --> 19:22.118 decided to stage his disappearance, there and then cleverly, 19:23.245 --> 19:25.371 possibly with the help of his new woman friend. 19:25.581 --> 19:26.205 Janet? 19:27.082 --> 19:29.792 No, no, no, she lives with her father on the other side of the lake. 19:30.335 --> 19:32.545 And besides I doubt if she'd have the wit to help him. 19:34.673 --> 19:40.553 This piece of paper which Brunton thought worth his while to consult, 19:40.679 --> 19:42.221 even at the risk of losing his job? 19:42.848 --> 19:46.225 Well it's nothing. It's nothing of any importance at all. 19:50.522 --> 19:51.647 Nevertheless. 19:57.571 --> 20:01.699 It's simply a copy of the singular old observance called the Musgrave Ritual. 20:02.242 --> 20:03.826 A ceremony peculiar to our family, 20:03.952 --> 20:06.829 which each Musgrave has to go through when he's coming of age. 20:10.209 --> 20:12.251 It's a strange catechism. 20:13.754 --> 20:18.090 Undated but written in the style of the middle of the 17th century. 20:18.258 --> 20:20.843 Would you and Watson be good enough to read it out to me? 20:21.386 --> 20:23.596 Oh, Doctor, I know it by heart. 20:27.392 --> 20:28.768 Whose was it? 20:29.645 --> 20:31.103 His who is gone. 20:31.313 --> 20:32.730 Who shall have it? 20:33.398 --> 20:34.899 He who will come. 20:35.025 --> 20:36.525 Where was the sun? 20:36.985 --> 20:38.069 Over the oak. 20:38.278 --> 20:39.737 Where was the shadow? 20:40.113 --> 20:41.239 Under the elm. 20:41.615 --> 20:43.241 How was it stepped? 20:44.409 --> 20:48.579 West eight by eight, south seven by seven, 20:49.081 --> 20:56.462 west six by six, south five by five and two by two, and so under. 20:56.964 --> 20:58.631 What shall we give for it? 20:59.508 --> 21:01.133 All that is ours 21:01.260 --> 21:02.760 Why should we give it? 21:03.929 --> 21:05.763 For the sake of the trust, 21:10.894 --> 21:12.144 It's a treasure hunt. 21:12.646 --> 21:15.731 Oh no, no, I remember as children 21:15.857 --> 21:18.442 we often tried to solve it. It leads nowhere. 21:18.610 --> 21:21.153 Could Brunton have seen this before last night? 21:22.739 --> 21:23.906 Well it's possible. 21:24.157 --> 21:25.825 We took no pains to hide it. 21:26.201 --> 21:27.827 But what could he want with it? 21:28.161 --> 21:30.496 Obviously he was refreshing his memory. 21:32.624 --> 21:35.668 You say that he had some map or chart, 21:35.794 --> 21:38.421 which he was thrust back into his pocket the moment you appeared? 21:38.547 --> 21:40.006 That's what it looked like. 21:40.882 --> 21:43.634 Yes. We must re-examine this ritual. 21:44.344 --> 21:47.013 The measurements obviously refer to some exact spot 21:47.139 --> 21:49.348 to which the rest of the document alludes. 21:49.891 --> 21:51.809 We are given two guides? 21:52.185 --> 21:55.313 Yes, an elm and an oak. 21:56.481 --> 22:02.695 And gentlemen, there is a patriarch among oaks. 22:06.575 --> 22:08.701 Certainly the oldest oak on the estate. 22:10.203 --> 22:13.205 This tree must have been here in the time of the Norman Conquest. 22:13.332 --> 22:15.124 In all probability, but I tell you, 22:15.250 --> 22:17.126 it can't be the oak referred to, Holmes. 22:17.336 --> 22:19.837 Generations of Musgrave's have attempted to solve it. 22:19.963 --> 22:21.714 They've dug up half this field. 22:32.726 --> 22:36.228 You are right, Musgrave, this is not the oak referred to in the ritual. 22:38.690 --> 22:41.359 Are there any other large oaks in the immediate vicinity? 22:41.693 --> 22:43.402 Not within a mile of the house. 22:47.157 --> 22:48.574 Where was the sun 22:50.911 --> 22:52.078 over the oak? 22:53.163 --> 22:55.915 You can make nothing of it today, old man, the weather's turned. 24:53.158 --> 24:54.033 Sir Richard. 25:00.081 --> 25:01.499 It's eight foot deep here. 25:02.334 --> 25:03.792 Poor demented girl! 25:04.419 --> 25:07.630 We must live and hope, old man. There's been no body found yet. 25:08.298 --> 25:11.842 Nothing so far, sir. We've just about covered all of it. 25:13.053 --> 25:14.303 We found something! 25:52.133 --> 25:53.551 What does it contain? 25:56.930 --> 25:58.222 Nothing of value. 25:59.849 --> 26:01.433 It could have been thrown in by anyone at anytime. 26:01.560 --> 26:03.769 No, recently, or the water would have rotted the bag. 26:04.229 --> 26:05.563 The maid, last night. 26:09.067 --> 26:11.860 Well, it would explain her journey to the mere but then 26:13.655 --> 26:14.697 where did she go? 26:20.453 --> 26:22.079 There's nothing here, Holmes. 26:23.748 --> 26:28.294 It's just a mass of rusted and discoloured metal and some pebbles. 26:30.880 --> 26:33.799 And where is Brunton or Rachel? 26:34.134 --> 26:36.468 Why should anybody bother to throw this into the lake? 26:45.645 --> 26:48.647 I am convinced that there are not three mysteries here but only one, 26:48.773 --> 26:52.943 and the solution of one may prove the solutions to the others. 26:54.321 --> 26:58.073 Evidently, Brunton saw something in this, which escaped your forbears, Musgrave, 26:58.825 --> 27:01.243 from which he expected some personal advantage. 27:01.411 --> 27:03.287 If I can read it right 27:04.789 --> 27:06.749 I hold in my hand the clue 27:08.460 --> 27:11.837 to the truth concerning both the butler Brunton and the maid Howells. 27:14.215 --> 27:20.512 Where was the sun over the oak? Where was the shadow on the elm? 27:28.480 --> 27:29.688 So this is where it grew? 27:29.814 --> 27:30.481 Yes. 27:31.316 --> 27:33.984 I suppose it's impossible to tell me how high it was? 27:34.194 --> 27:37.488 I can give you that at once. It was 64 feet. 27:40.283 --> 27:42.868 It's my old tutor. He used to give me lessons in trigonometry. 27:43.036 --> 27:45.371 When I was a lad I used to know the height of every tree and building 27:45.497 --> 27:46.538 on this estate. 27:47.707 --> 27:49.375 I am grateful to your tutor. 27:51.544 --> 27:54.129 Tell me did Brunton ever ask you such a question 27:54.631 --> 27:56.382 here on this lawn? 27:58.885 --> 28:00.636 Now that you call it to my mind... 28:21.282 --> 28:25.411 Brunton?

I don't quite follow this. 30:55.144 --> 30:57.229 Ah, splendid! 31:00.567 --> 31:01.733 Musgrave! 31:02.527 --> 31:03.735 Every rod in the house. 31:05.530 --> 31:06.363 Thank you. 31:20.962 --> 31:22.588 Measuring stick please, Watson. 31:30.597 --> 31:33.056 Would you hold that for me, Musgrave, please? And that. 31:33.433 --> 31:35.767 Now will you take the last yard of the string 31:35.935 --> 31:37.936 and tie it to the base of the fishing rod, Watson? 31:40.440 --> 31:42.357 Yes, and when you've done that would you- 31:42.525 --> 31:44.693 bring the Ritual and join me on the lawn? 32:17.977 --> 32:19.895 Would you measure that shadow, please, Watson? 32:23.524 --> 32:24.483 Nine feet. 32:24.859 --> 32:26.401 So the calculation is now a simple one. 32:26.611 --> 32:29.237 If a fishing rod of six feet throws a shadow of nine feet 32:29.364 --> 32:31.657 then a tree of 64 feet would throw one of? 32:32.158 --> 32:33.116 Ninety-eight. 32:34.077 --> 32:35.077 Ninety-six. 32:35.954 --> 32:36.745 Yes, of course. 32:37.455 --> 32:40.290 And the line of one, of course, would be the line of the other. 33:03.564 --> 33:05.816 Watson, look!

You've forgotten the "and under." 35:21.536 --> 35:23.161 Is there a cellar under here? 35:24.330 --> 35:25.664 As old as the house. 35:43.891 --> 35:45.851 There's been wood all over the floor. 35:47.019 --> 35:49.354 That's Brunton's muffler, I'd swear to it. 35:49.522 --> 35:50.522 Watson! 36:59.800 --> 37:02.928 Inspector, this is a friend of mine, Doctor Watson. 37:03.179 --> 37:06.848 Inspector, I have some experience in forensic pathology. 37:07.266 --> 37:10.727 The man has been dead for two days.

He must have been down there alone 37:22.782 --> 37:25.909 and the flagstone just fell shut on him, poor fellow. 37:27.703 --> 37:30.789 Sir Reginald I'm told that your butler was down in the cellar 37:30.915 --> 37:32.707 in an unused part of the house. 37:33.960 --> 37:35.418 What was his business there, sir? 37:36.295 --> 37:38.922 A butler's duties are many and varied, Inspector. 37:39.173 --> 37:40.590 I can't possibly answer that question 37:40.716 --> 37:42.467 Well no one would have heard his cries for help 37:42.635 --> 37:44.928 in that part of the house, that is the point surely, Inspector. 37:57.483 --> 37:58.066 Tregallis. 37:58.192 --> 37:58.942 Rachel! 38:00.152 --> 38:04.990 She done it! She killed him! That's why she ran away! 38:05.324 --> 38:05.991 Tregallis! 38:06.117 --> 38:06.992 Rachel? 38:08.119 --> 38:10.996 It's nothing the servants are naturally upset. 38:11.998 --> 38:13.164 Well who is this Rachel? 38:13.499 --> 38:15.917 One of my housemaids. She was engaged to Brunton. 38:16.043 --> 38:17.335 Do please cover him up. 38:18.254 --> 38:20.630 One evening he disappeared. She became ill and left. 38:21.549 --> 38:25.010 Well I shall want to see her. I shall want to see that young woman also. 38:25.177 --> 38:25.844 Sergeant. 38:26.887 --> 38:28.138 All right, take him away. 38:30.308 --> 38:31.933 Doctor, please. 38:42.111 --> 38:43.361 The local inspector, Holmes. 38:43.696 --> 38:48.033 If you could find a plausible explanation to avoid publicity in this wretched... 38:50.703 --> 38:56.541 I must confess that so far I am disappointed in my investigation. 38:58.169 --> 39:01.212 I had reckoned upon solving the matter when once I'd find the place 39:01.339 --> 39:03.715 referred to in the Ritual but now that I'm here. 39:05.885 --> 39:09.220 I'm as far as ever from knowing what it was your family concealed 39:09.388 --> 39:11.222 with such elaborate precautions. 39:11.682 --> 39:14.184 But you've solved my mystery of Brunton. 39:14.310 --> 39:19.147 But how? How did his fate come upon him 39:19.357 --> 39:22.067 and what part has been played by the woman who has disappeared? 39:29.200 --> 39:34.079 I should explain Holmes' methods in such cases. He... 39:34.914 --> 39:37.082 He puts himself in the man's place 39:37.708 --> 39:41.419 having first gauged his intelligence and then he... 39:41.921 --> 39:45.757 he tries to imagine how he himself would have proceeded 39:46.509 --> 39:48.259 in similar circumstances. 39:48.594 --> 39:53.932 In this case, Brunton's intelligence is first rate. 39:54.558 --> 39:59.104 So you see it is unnecessary to make allowance for the personal equation. 40:03.692 --> 40:05.527 As the astronomers have dubbed it. 40:33.264 --> 40:35.306 He knows something is concealed. 40:41.272 --> 40:42.647 He has spotted the place. 41:31.071 --> 41:34.282 He has found the stone is too heavy for a man to move unaided. 41:34.617 --> 41:38.203 So what does he do? 41:40.831 --> 41:47.212 Help from outside. No one to trust... help from inside but who? 41:49.006 --> 41:50.048 Rachel... 41:51.800 --> 41:55.720 She still loves him. He sees it in her eyes for all her show of hate. 42:07.691 --> 42:09.692 I'm here to say I'm sorry, my love. 42:10.736 --> 42:13.071 I'm a foolish man. I don't deserve you. 42:13.447 --> 42:14.489 You don't. 42:15.741 --> 42:17.158 Forgive me, Rachel 42:18.035 --> 42:18.910 Why? 42:19.745 --> 42:23.581 There's no one else for me. No one ever has been, you know that. 42:24.792 --> 42:27.752 It's this house it eats into your soul. 42:29.547 --> 42:33.258 Let me take you away from here- we'll start afresh. 42:34.426 --> 42:39.556 Your promises! Oh, Richard, you make love so freely. 42:41.892 --> 42:44.060 You never loved me. 42:46.855 --> 42:51.776 Oh you're wrong! I love you for your beauty and your spirit. 42:52.903 --> 42:57.115 We're a perfect match. With my brains and your heart 42:58.200 --> 43:00.076 what do we want with service to others? 43:01.245 --> 43:03.454 The world is out there calling us, my love. 43:04.248 --> 43:06.416 And how do we get out there with no money? 43:07.626 --> 43:09.294 We'll have all the money we need. 43:10.921 --> 43:14.132 I found something in this house all them country squires have missed. 43:15.175 --> 43:16.968 Now I've found it and we're ready to go. 43:17.720 --> 43:21.639 But not without you, I couldn't live without you. 43:23.809 --> 43:25.727 I'm to be your husband, Rachel. 43:31.108 --> 43:34.319 What money? What have you found? 43:36.822 --> 43:40.658 Come with me.

Yes, he was close to Charles the Second 48:53.722 --> 48:55.640 in his wanderings during the Commonwealth. 48:56.892 --> 49:00.102 Then I think that should give us the last link that we wanted. 49:05.192 --> 49:06.651 Gentlemen, you must bear mind 49:06.777 --> 49:09.654 when the royal party were driven into exile 49:10.405 --> 49:11.656 they probably left 49:11.823 --> 49:14.992 many of their most precious possessions buried behind them 49:15.369 --> 49:17.995 with the intention of returning for them in a more peaceful time. 49:20.374 --> 49:22.166 Gold, Musgrave. 49:24.002 --> 49:27.296 Watson, I believe you have in your hand 49:27.673 --> 49:30.841 a relic, which is not only of great intrinsic value, 49:30.968 --> 49:34.345 but also great importance as a historical curiosity. 49:34.596 --> 49:35.596 Well what is it? 49:37.849 --> 49:39.266 Nothing less- 49:40.811 --> 49:46.482 than a fragment of the ancient crown of the kings of England. 49:47.192 --> 49:48.359 The crown! 49:49.069 --> 49:51.362 Oh no, no, Holmes. It's too fanciful. 49:59.371 --> 50:00.705 Now consider the ritual. 50:01.164 --> 50:02.206 How does it run? 50:04.042 --> 50:05.042 Whose was it? 50:05.585 --> 50:07.545 His who is gone. 50:08.088 --> 50:12.967 That was the execution of Charles. And then who shall have it? 50:14.302 --> 50:15.886 He who will come. 50:16.722 --> 50:20.725 That was Charles the Second, whose advent was already foreseen. 50:22.144 --> 50:25.563 There can, I think, be no doubt, gentlemen, that this- 50:26.314 --> 50:30.901 battered and shapeless diadem once encircled the brows of the Royal Stuarts. 50:31.236 --> 50:33.237 But how came it into my family? 50:36.116 --> 50:38.075 When Charles the First was executed 50:38.410 --> 50:41.537 the crown was seized broken into pieces, 50:41.913 --> 50:44.915 and sold for a thousand guineas. 51:04.144 --> 51:05.936 Since then there has been no trace of it, 51:07.856 --> 51:08.773 until now. 51:09.649 --> 51:12.276 But why did Charles not get it back on his return? 51:12.486 --> 51:14.779 That is a question, which may never be answered. 51:15.781 --> 51:19.742 When your ancestor died by some oversight, 51:20.619 --> 51:26.624 he left this guide to his descendant without ever explaining the meaning of it. 51:27.918 --> 51:29.376 Father to son... 51:30.670 --> 51:37.134 Until at last it came within reach of a man who tore it's secret out of it 51:39.805 --> 51:41.889 and lost his life in the venture. 51:44.976 --> 51:52.983 Rachel! 51:57.322 --> 52:01.408 Was it chance that wood slipped or was she only guilty of silence? 52:02.202 --> 52:04.161 She had a passionate Celtic soul. 52:04.704 --> 52:06.997 The man had wronged her. She had it in her power. 52:07.165 --> 52:11.961 Might it rather been vengeance that sent the stone crashing? 52:12.671 --> 52:17.174 Her hand that dashed it away. Now what has become of her? 52:18.009 --> 52:21.512 Very probably she's far away from Hurlstone now.
