That night I didn't see it clearly myself at the time. 45:15.921 --> 45:18.589 Dinner had passed uneventfully 45:19.550 --> 45:23.219 though I confess I was somewhat disappointed by our guest. 45:24.138 --> 45:25.221 His demeanor. 45:26.265 --> 45:28.558 The real nature of the soul. 45:32.980 --> 45:34.063 Well what is it 45:35.482 --> 45:38.776 to some merely a manifestation of the will. 45:39.987 --> 45:42.071 But the soul returns to God. 45:44.825 --> 45:46.951 Like a sound that vanishes in the air. 45:48.162 --> 45:49.620 So thought the Greeks. 45:50.789 --> 45:54.250 Life is death said the philosophers. 45:54.835 --> 45:58.588 But I'm afraid I don't follow that, You're saying you don't believe in God. 45:58.714 --> 46:03.426 The Incas of course were sun worshippers as you seem to know well. 46:04.303 --> 46:06.262 The reason was meteorological 46:06.764 --> 46:09.390 without sun, at night, being mountain dwellers 46:09.641 --> 46:12.769 they shiver, they freeze. 46:13.187 --> 46:14.812 What about those on the coast? 46:18.317 --> 46:20.651 The sun was constant. 46:21.487 --> 46:22.945 A tyrant in the sky. 46:24.948 --> 46:28.284 And so it was the lesser god they worshiped, the moon. 46:31.330 --> 46:32.830 The house of the moon. 46:33.749 --> 46:36.000 The young children were sacrificed. 46:37.252 --> 46:39.587 Lying on beds of colored wool and cotton. 46:40.088 --> 46:40.838 Why? 46:42.007 --> 46:43.966 Why must the children be sacrificed? 46:46.678 --> 46:48.471 Well, not just the children, Jack. 46:49.681 --> 46:52.183 When the chieftain died it was customary to bury him 46:52.309 --> 46:54.685 with the most beautiful and best loved women. 46:55.229 --> 46:58.022 Good God, his wife? 46:58.565 --> 46:59.440 His wife. 47:02.027 --> 47:04.028 His favorite concubines. 47:05.405 --> 47:08.533 And a considerable number more or less of his servants. 47:10.869 --> 47:16.874 His jewels, raw silver, lamas, weapons, food and clothing. 47:18.669 --> 47:21.379 So in his philosophy, death was life. 47:24.174 --> 47:25.550 Of course, why not? 47:28.095 --> 47:34.058 It continued in that vein for hours. All kinds of mysticism. 47:35.060 --> 47:36.727 Mostly beyond my comprehension. 47:37.104 --> 47:38.646 The widows of Malobar. 47:39.982 --> 47:43.067 Burnt themselves in the blaze of the remains of their husbands 47:43.193 --> 47:45.570 as a demonstration of fidelity. 47:48.323 --> 47:52.243 What I can't describe is the effect it had on the company 47:52.828 --> 47:54.245 the ladies, in particular. 47:55.289 --> 47:58.583 It was if he had them mesmerized. 48:00.335 --> 48:05.923 And yet after he left, Carlotta... 48:06.800 --> 48:08.092 He was repulsive. 48:08.260 --> 48:09.260 You found him? 48:09.469 --> 48:10.761 Repulsive. 48:11.722 --> 48:13.222 You'd rather we didn't see him again? 48:13.599 --> 48:14.932 He's your friend. 48:18.103 --> 48:19.103 Come to me. 48:21.732 --> 48:22.899 The following morning 48:24.693 --> 48:26.736 hence subsequently, 48:28.488 --> 48:30.448 I became the object of her pain. 48:31.241 --> 48:35.703 But the connection with Stockton and your baby's death, I mean, 48:36.038 --> 48:38.706 as you describe the evening it's hard to forge a link. 48:39.374 --> 48:44.128 I know but it all went wrong Watson from that evening. 48:45.547 --> 48:49.467 This house was if there was a black cloud... 48:50.719 --> 48:52.637 I can't describe it. I wish to God I could. 48:53.972 --> 48:56.223 There's so many coincidence. 49:00.145 --> 49:01.437 Ah Jack. 49:01.813 --> 49:02.813 My son, Jack. 49:02.981 --> 49:06.484 Come and meet my friends, Dr. Watson and Mr. Sherlock Holmes. 49:08.070 --> 49:09.153 I'm interrupting. 49:09.696 --> 49:11.822 Jack, you're not interrupting at all 49:11.990 --> 49:14.325 now come and sit down and talk to us. 49:14.952 --> 49:18.996 How's the music Jack? You still practicing the violin? 49:19.873 --> 49:23.250 Jack's been given a new violin, a gift from his stepmother. 49:23.669 --> 49:26.170 The old one plays rather well, rustily. 49:27.464 --> 49:29.006 Holmes plays the violin. 49:29.174 --> 49:30.800 I look forward to meeting your stepmother, Jack 49:30.926 --> 49:32.843 when she's sufficiently recovered. 49:33.220 --> 49:36.347 Indeed. Well let us see if now is not the moment. 49:37.224 --> 49:38.849 Mrs. Mason would you go upstairs? 49:40.936 --> 49:44.814 Oh she's not in her room sir. She went out early. 49:45.190 --> 49:47.525 Not. Well why didn't you tell me this? 49:47.734 --> 49:49.193 Well I thought you knew. 49:49.528 --> 49:50.861 They both went out, father. 49:51.947 --> 49:52.530 Alone? 49:52.698 --> 49:54.031 Mr. Stockton came for them. 49:54.282 --> 49:56.200 He came to pay his respects, sir. 49:56.368 --> 49:58.160 When you were out riding father. 49:59.079 --> 50:00.621 And you saw them leave with him? 50:01.123 --> 50:05.126 My wife and the maid willingly? You both witnessed this? 50:05.252 --> 50:08.045 Oh just for a short drive they said. 50:08.255 --> 50:10.840 To take the air, put color in their cheeks. 50:20.559 --> 50:23.894 I really should have been informed of this. My wife is not herself. 50:24.062 --> 50:27.064 Was it Mr. Stockton who persuaded her on this foolish drive? 50:27.441 --> 50:28.566 Who instigated it? 50:28.734 --> 50:30.234 Why does it worry you, father? 50:30.527 --> 50:33.237 All's well, Mr. Ferguson, they're coming home. 50:56.261 --> 50:57.511 Stockton? 50:59.848 --> 51:03.434 I didn't realize you had come by.
