Remember? 22:41.568 --> 22:46.655 I shan't destroy the paper until you've returned the compliment. 22:47.407 --> 22:50.284 Remember. Tittle for Tattle. 22:52.287 --> 22:53.913 Look at you. I mean what sort of... 22:54.289 --> 22:59.877 Oh, of course, we are above the bourgeois epatant of costume. 23:00.003 --> 23:01.253 The revels have begun. 23:01.380 --> 23:04.256 Life is mystery enough without your pale conundrums? 23:05.842 --> 23:09.887 Oh, so many people, so little purpose. 23:10.097 --> 23:11.639 That's God's conundrum. 23:12.682 --> 23:15.017 If only we mortals could answer that... 23:15.143 --> 23:16.977 Then your life would have no meaning. 23:18.021 --> 23:21.732 Ahh cruel, 23:22.401 --> 23:25.361 cruel, cruel, but so true. 23:25.487 --> 23:27.321 I have always said that if our late mutual friend, 23:27.447 --> 23:30.241 Charles Augustus Milverton was the bad angel, 23:30.409 --> 23:35.830 I am the good angel. I suppress much, much more than I expose. 23:36.998 --> 23:40.459 What sort of world would it be, if I didn't? 23:41.128 --> 23:42.294 Which one is she? 23:44.756 --> 23:45.589 Over there, my dear fellow. 23:45.715 --> 23:48.092 You could hardly mistake her, with young Lomond. 23:52.597 --> 23:56.142 La belle dame sans merci. 24:00.689 --> 24:02.314 Douglas Maberley. 24:04.276 --> 24:08.571 And others. All those, all those, all those. 24:09.781 --> 24:12.158 Douglas, was one of the most striking young men in London... 24:12.284 --> 24:16.579 He gave all and expected all. 24:17.038 --> 24:18.080 Alas! 24:19.749 --> 24:21.000 It was she who ended it. 24:21.877 --> 24:25.212 Brutally. Marriage with a penniless diplomat of little breeding 24:25.338 --> 24:27.173 was not in the widow's plans. 24:28.467 --> 24:29.925 Don't you read my column? 24:32.846 --> 24:37.600 And yet he seems, even in death, to have some hold over her. 24:38.143 --> 24:38.893 What is it? 24:39.478 --> 24:41.187 Do what you like with the information I gave you, 24:41.354 --> 24:43.189 but have no truck with her. She... 24:43.315 --> 24:46.984 Look, the sight of her set my hairs on end. 24:48.028 --> 24:49.320 She is deadly. 24:50.197 --> 24:54.074 And now she has a great ducal line within her grasp. 24:54.826 --> 24:57.828 And look at them. She is old enough to be his... 24:58.497 --> 25:02.041 Ah, the anguished mother. 25:07.839 --> 25:09.423 I helped her husband once. 25:09.716 --> 25:14.637 What is your interest in her now? Douglas is history, he's dust, dust! 25:14.763 --> 25:17.723 Aren't we all, aren't we all. 25:19.392 --> 25:20.351 Even you. 25:20.977 --> 25:25.648 Not me, dear boy. Not me!

He was going the other way. 26:27.043 --> 26:32.965 Aah, this is the hat he was wearing, over sixty years ago. 26:34.342 --> 26:36.302 But you, you never got to India? 26:36.428 --> 26:39.179 No. I turned back and went with him. 26:40.098 --> 26:41.599 Oh, the fuss! 26:42.017 --> 26:45.060 You see, he was a penniless salesman at the time. 26:45.478 --> 26:50.065 Erm, Gripe water, you know, things for babies' tummies. 26:50.650 --> 26:53.986 But in his heart and soul there was adventure. 26:54.112 --> 26:59.825 Ah, the places we planned to visit, all over the world... 27:01.703 --> 27:03.162 We never left Harrow. 27:03.788 --> 27:07.458 Is er, is this Mortimer, wi, wi... with Douglas? 27:07.584 --> 27:11.879 Oh, good Heavens, have I kept that? How wonderful. 27:12.839 --> 27:16.008 Oh. They doted on each other. 27:16.843 --> 27:21.138 They were alike in so many ways. Two peas in a pod. 27:21.973 --> 27:24.642 Er, what, happened to his, his mother and father? 27:25.852 --> 27:31.357 Oh, my son and his wife were killed in a climbing accident in Snowdonia, 27:32.025 --> 27:34.860 when Douglas was only two years old. 27:35.320 --> 27:37.821 We brought him up as our own, you see. 27:42.035 --> 27:43.702 This case in Harrow? 27:44.079 --> 27:46.538 It concerns your future daughter-in-law, 27:47.666 --> 27:52.795 and a late acquaintance of hers. The facts do her no credit. 27:55.006 --> 27:56.715 Something from her past. 27:58.218 --> 28:01.387 I knew it. Tell me at once. 28:02.847 --> 28:03.972 I need a little time. 28:07.852 --> 28:10.229 The wedding which I deplore, is almost upon us. 28:16.486 --> 28:17.861 My golden boy. 28:21.157 --> 28:22.741 He is besotted with this woman. 28:26.579 --> 28:28.330 If you know something against her, 28:29.124 --> 28:32.292 pray God let the scandal break, now. 28:34.462 --> 28:39.466 Oh, no, no, no.

It's the doctor. 32:22.649 --> 32:26.109 He, he's been brutally attacked in Harrow. 32:26.235 --> 32:28.028 Oh, no, no, he is alive. 32:28.488 --> 32:31.323 He wired, or, or rather the lawyer did, to say 32:31.449 --> 32:33.533 I was to find you if you weren't in, 32:33.701 --> 32:35.994 and you're to get there as soon as possible. 32:36.579 --> 32:39.748 And I'd got him a nice piece of mackerel for his tea. 32:41.834 --> 32:43.835 Dora. Where is Dr. Watson? 32:46.130 --> 32:47.172 He's upstairs, sir. 32:48.299 --> 32:49.132 How is he? 32:49.509 --> 32:52.302 I don't know, sir. He had a good breakfast. 32:53.846 --> 32:54.805 Your mistress? 32:55.223 --> 32:56.598 She's restin', sir. 32:57.016 --> 32:59.893 She weren't badly hurt, but she's had a nasty shock, 33:00.436 --> 33:01.520 we all have. 33:08.903 --> 33:10.821 Good Lord, what have you run into? 33:13.866 --> 33:14.700 What happened? 33:15.868 --> 33:17.244 Madam says she wants to see you, 33:17.370 --> 33:19.371 as soon as you arrive Mr. Holmes, sir. 33:21.874 --> 33:24.876 Holmes, she is in a very frail condition. 33:27.630 --> 33:30.340 Physician, heal thyself. 33:41.394 --> 33:44.396 Mr. Holmes... how good of you. 33:45.565 --> 33:46.732 How are you feeling? 33:48.735 --> 33:53.238 I'm alive. Thanks to your brave friend, Doctor Watson. 33:53.906 --> 33:55.449 Did he get it back from them? 33:56.451 --> 33:57.034 Get what? 33:57.744 --> 34:00.245 Oh, of course, you wouldn't know, I don't... 34:02.081 --> 34:04.416 Mr. Holmes. I owe you an apology. 34:04.542 --> 34:09.004 I, I prayed it would have no bearing, but it it does... 34:11.090 --> 34:13.050 Oh, so stupid of me... 34:14.260 --> 34:16.595 It's the reason for everything. 34:19.265 --> 34:21.850 Douglas was writing a book. 34:23.311 --> 34:26.772 He said it would explain it all. He started it in Rome. 34:27.774 --> 34:30.776 And later, when they brought him back here, 34:30.943 --> 34:35.781 he, he sat for hours in that draughty little summer house, 34:35.948 --> 34:39.242 writing... sometimes in the most dreadful weather. 34:48.211 --> 34:50.921 And later, when he could no longer leave his room, 34:51.047 --> 34:52.964 he still struggled with it. 34:55.093 --> 34:56.343 Two copies. 34:57.887 --> 35:00.222 One he gave to Violet... 35:01.265 --> 35:06.812 and told her to deliver it to someone, I, I, don't know who. 35:07.980 --> 35:12.984 He had sworn her to secrecy and she kept her promise. 35:14.862 --> 35:16.196 The other copy... 35:16.823 --> 35:22.494 He urged me with almost with his dying breath, to send to his publisher. 35:47.395 --> 35:49.229 I should have done so, but... 35:50.982 --> 35:52.607 On the night of his funeral, 35:53.442 --> 35:56.820 and missing him so much, I, I read it through. 35:57.864 --> 36:01.324 I knew at once what it was... His life... 36:03.244 --> 36:06.705 That woman... I didn't even know her name. 36:09.167 --> 36:11.960 The scandal it would cause! And I, 36:12.962 --> 36:18.049 I shut it out of my mind, locked it away until last night 36:18.176 --> 36:21.553 when Dr. Watson reminded me... 36:21.804 --> 36:23.221 And they were waiting for you. 36:23.472 --> 36:26.892 Yes, and they snatched it from me, 36:27.810 --> 36:29.853 as I was taking it up to him... 36:34.400 --> 36:35.734 All but this. 36:44.744 --> 36:47.204 I tore it from the brute. 37:00.968 --> 37:04.596 Where is it? Where is it? Miguel! 37:05.139 --> 37:06.556 Miguel! 37:08.893 --> 37:11.353 The page? Where is the last page? 37:11.812 --> 37:13.939 He has it. Oh, I know he has it! 37:14.065 --> 37:16.942 One page, Carina. Not even Sherlock Holmes could... 37:17.109 --> 37:20.403 Burn it! Don't talk! Burn it! 37:27.620 --> 37:31.706 "Face bled and his stomach burned from the savage blows." 37:33.000 --> 37:34.167 "But it was nothing" 37:35.211 --> 37:36.795 "to the bleeding of his heart." 37:38.130 --> 37:39.839 "When he saw that lovely face," 37:41.133 --> 37:45.136 "the face for which he had been prepared to sacrifice his life for..." 37:46.055 --> 37:49.557 "She smiled, yes, by Heaven. She smiled," 37:49.892 --> 37:52.644 "like the heartless fiend she was." 37:52.895 --> 37:56.523 "It was at that moment that love died," 37:57.900 --> 37:59.442 "and hate was born." 38:01.612 --> 38:04.197 "If it is not for your embrace, my lady," 38:04.532 --> 38:09.661 "then it shall be for your undoing and my complete revenge." 38:10.162 --> 38:14.332 "My... complete revenge." 38:15.960 --> 38:17.836 The "he" becomes "my". 38:20.006 --> 38:23.967 Yes. The writer imagines himself the hero. 38:24.593 --> 38:27.679 Two copies. One to Mrs. Klein. 38:27.930 --> 38:30.890 And this for publication. 38:32.435 --> 38:34.352 All of London would recognise 38:35.438 --> 38:37.022 the wolf and the lamb. 38:39.233 --> 38:42.777 Sweet revenge. Read me the first sentence again. 38:43.112 --> 38:48.241 "Face bled and his stomach burned from the savage blows" 38:48.534 --> 38:50.035 The cause of death! 38:56.292 --> 38:59.210 Pneumonia, from a ruptured spleen, the old woman said. 39:00.588 --> 39:01.379 Good heavens. 39:02.214 --> 39:05.216 Ruptured from a kick. That's murder. 39:06.218 --> 39:07.385 We could never prove it. 39:09.513 --> 39:11.056 I'm leaving for Cricklewood. 39:18.272 --> 39:19.105 Steve. 39:20.566 --> 39:22.650 Grosvenor Square, five months ago. 39:23.110 --> 39:24.486 That weren't me, Mr. Holmes. 39:26.072 --> 39:27.197 You can't put that on me. 39:27.323 --> 39:32.077 It doesn't matter whose boot killed Douglas Maberley. 39:32.578 --> 39:34.162 You're all guilty. 39:36.248 --> 39:37.582 Ah, Susan! 39:40.586 --> 39:41.336 Susan. 39:42.630 --> 39:46.424 Guarding the coup, while your husband is in prison? 39:47.385 --> 39:50.095 Watson, you remember Mrs. Barney Stockdale. 39:50.262 --> 39:53.056 Oh, yes. Take care Holmes. 39:53.891 --> 39:56.434 You get out of 'ere. 39:56.685 --> 40:00.772 That woman will put you behind bars for what you did last night. 40:00.940 --> 40:04.901 And her employer, Mrs. Klein of Grosvenor Square, 40:05.069 --> 40:08.113 will see you all hanged for murder, unless... 40:08.948 --> 40:11.449 you do what I tell you, when I tell you. 40:12.201 --> 40:15.370 Remember Perkins of Holborn? 40:17.039 --> 40:17.705 Watson. 40:28.884 --> 40:29.843 Let me look at you. 40:32.430 --> 40:33.304 What do you see? 40:34.140 --> 40:34.973 I see... 40:39.061 --> 40:41.479 the woman I adore. 41:15.764 --> 41:17.849 I am ready now. No, stay here. 41:19.310 --> 41:21.561 She is not Moriarty. She is a woman. 41:22.021 --> 41:23.396 That hand needs redressing. 41:35.201 --> 41:36.701 Just remember, Holmes. 41:38.204 --> 41:40.830 The female can be more deadly than the male. 41:55.179 --> 41:59.265 Valuer and Auctioneer, my foot. 42:04.021 --> 42:06.523 Ah. Madam. 42:08.192 --> 42:09.234 You again, Holmes. 42:09.735 --> 42:12.237 If you have something to say to my bride, speak out, 42:12.571 --> 42:14.072 before I kick you out. 42:14.198 --> 42:18.368 No. I have been expecting Mr. Holmes. Leave us. 42:19.328 --> 42:21.371 Huh. I have no intention of leaving you with this... 42:21.497 --> 42:22.664 Go, James. 42:25.000 --> 42:25.833 Go! 42:29.755 --> 42:32.006 I am only surprised it took you so long. 42:32.383 --> 42:36.052 I am surprised that you thought bullies could frighten me. 42:37.096 --> 42:39.138 No man would take up my profession, 42:41.267 --> 42:43.268 if danger did not attract him. 43:00.369 --> 43:04.038 You are a gentleman. I will treat you as my friend. 43:04.623 --> 43:06.708 I cannot promise to reciprocate. 43:09.920 --> 43:13.881 No doubt it was foolish to threaten such a brave man as yourself. 43:14.049 --> 43:17.468 No, what was really foolish of an intelligent woman like you, 43:18.345 --> 43:20.513 is to place yourself in the power of a- 43:20.639 --> 43:24.392 band of rascals who could blackmail or give you away. 43:24.727 --> 43:27.770 Hmm. No, no. I am not so simple. 43:28.731 --> 43:32.567 None of them have the least idea who their employer is. 43:32.735 --> 43:34.819 Not Barney Stockdale and his wife? 43:37.448 --> 43:40.491 They are good hounds who run silent. 43:40.659 --> 43:42.660 And are prepared to go to prison for you. 43:45.122 --> 43:48.207 They take what comes.
