I would have remembered. 02:12.173 --> 02:14.299 May I shake your hand, sir? 02:14.509 --> 02:15.425 Pardon? 02:16.177 --> 02:17.427 Yes, if you must. 02:17.720 --> 02:20.430 Mrs. Hudson knows a prescription 02:21.766 --> 02:23.934 containing hot water and a lemon. 02:24.060 --> 02:26.228 I'll bring some up for you, Inspector. 02:26.437 --> 02:27.896 It will help keep out the chill. 02:28.022 --> 02:29.148 Thank you, Mrs. Hudson. 02:29.274 --> 02:30.232 Where is Dr. Watson? 02:30.358 --> 02:31.275 Oh in his surgery, 02:31.401 --> 02:34.945 this dreadful weather has produced a queue into the street, I am told. 02:35.155 --> 02:36.780 Well, they're wasting their time. 02:37.574 --> 02:41.743 Watson's only cure for any ailment is a Linus powder and a grated apple. 02:42.495 --> 02:46.582 Mr. Holmes, you know you only say that because you miss the Doctor. 02:49.085 --> 02:49.960 Cigar? 02:50.503 --> 02:51.378 No, no thank you. 02:52.755 --> 02:55.507 It must be something important to bring you out in such a gale. 02:55.717 --> 02:56.550 It is indeed. 02:56.885 --> 02:59.553 Did you see anything of the Yoxley case in the latest edition? 02:59.679 --> 03:01.597 I've seen nothing later than the 15th century today. 03:02.098 --> 03:05.267 We've been studying a 500 years old palimpsest. 03:05.643 --> 03:06.351 Palimpsest? 03:06.686 --> 03:08.562 Enough of the 15th century. 03:09.314 --> 03:11.231 You bring us news of the 20th. 03:12.567 --> 03:14.610 Well, it's only a paragraph and all wrong at that, 03:14.736 --> 03:16.028 so you've not missed anything. 03:16.154 --> 03:18.322 I'm relieved to hear it, Inspector. 03:18.573 --> 03:20.449 It's down in Kent. 03:21.242 --> 03:25.287 7 miles from Chatham, and 3 from the railway line. 03:26.372 --> 03:28.665 I was wired for at 3:15, 03:28.917 --> 03:32.544 up to Chatham at 5:00, conducted my investigation, 03:32.712 --> 03:34.880 was back at Charing Cross by the last train 03:35.215 --> 03:36.506 and straight to you by cab. 03:38.384 --> 03:40.344 Which means you're not quite certain of your case. 03:40.929 --> 03:42.846 It means I can make neither head nor tail of it. 03:43.806 --> 03:45.599 There's no motive, Mr. Holmes. 03:47.602 --> 03:48.936 Motive? Inspector, what motive? 03:49.479 --> 03:51.480 A man is dead, there's no denying that. 03:52.273 --> 03:54.566 But I can see no reason between heaven and earth 03:54.692 --> 03:56.193 why anyone should wish him harm. 04:07.163 --> 04:08.080 Tell us about it. 04:10.625 --> 04:14.461 A few years ago, Yoxley Old Place was taken by an elderly man 04:14.587 --> 04:16.255 by the name of Professor Coram. 04:17.006 --> 04:19.758 He's an invalid, keeping his bed half the time, 04:20.009 --> 04:22.594 and the other half hobbling about the house on a stick, 04:22.720 --> 04:25.931 or being pushed about the grounds by the gardener, in a bath chair. 04:26.474 --> 04:28.684 Quite stupid, aren't you, Mortimer. 04:29.060 --> 04:31.144 Just take it easy, be very careful. 04:34.857 --> 04:35.983 Careful! 04:45.285 --> 04:47.703 Where's my secretary, Mrs. Marker? 04:49.455 --> 04:51.331 The Professor is writing a learned book 04:51.457 --> 04:54.793 and found it necessary, about a year ago, to take on a secretary, 04:55.253 --> 04:56.753 Mr. Willoughby Smith. 04:57.171 --> 04:59.214 A young man straight from the university. 05:01.009 --> 05:05.012 And if one can accept the doctrines of Monophysitism, 05:05.638 --> 05:08.432 then perforce one must also re-evaluate 05:09.183 --> 05:10.559 Christian theology. 05:12.895 --> 05:14.062 To suggest... 05:14.480 --> 05:15.022 Yes. 05:17.942 --> 05:18.859 To suggest... 05:19.861 --> 05:20.861 Or to argue? 05:21.446 --> 05:22.988 Which one of us is writing this book? 05:23.573 --> 05:24.781 You or me? 05:24.949 --> 05:26.199 You are, of course. 05:28.036 --> 05:28.952 To suggest... 05:29.162 --> 05:31.371 From the first, it appears that Smith was a quiet, 05:31.539 --> 05:34.416 well-educated fellow with hardly any weak spot in him at all. 05:35.335 --> 05:39.046 And yet this is a lad who met his death this morning in the Professor's study 05:39.922 --> 05:42.924 under circumstances that can point only to murder. 05:44.761 --> 05:45.886 Murder? 05:46.721 --> 05:49.556 Willoughby Smith was murdered, do you say, Inspector? 05:50.558 --> 05:51.308 Do go on. 05:52.060 --> 05:54.102 Your hot lemon drink, Inspector. 05:54.395 --> 05:55.395 Thank you, Mrs. Hudson. 05:56.105 --> 05:58.440 A man without a single enemy in the world. 05:58.566 --> 06:00.692 Mrs. Hudson, you're under foot again. 06:00.943 --> 06:03.070 When you say hardly any weak spot, 06:03.196 --> 06:04.279 what exactly do you mean? 06:04.405 --> 06:07.240 We all have vices of some kind or another. 06:08.076 --> 06:10.243 Willoughby Smith has nothing against him, 06:10.411 --> 06:12.371 either as a boy at Uppingham, 06:12.872 --> 06:14.664 or later as a young man at Cambridge. 06:15.333 --> 06:17.292 Although I gather he was fond of a drink or two. 06:17.585 --> 06:18.835 Well, nothing wrong in that. 06:19.003 --> 06:20.754 And also had a bit of an eye for the ladies. 06:21.047 --> 06:21.963 Each to his own. 06:22.090 --> 06:24.049 Perhaps he was hiding a terrible secret. 06:24.801 --> 06:26.259 Smith knew no-one in the neighbourhood 06:26.386 --> 06:28.220 and lived very much as his employer did. 06:28.971 --> 06:31.598 Professor was buried in his work and existed for nothing else. 06:31.766 --> 06:33.934 A man after your own heart, Sherlock. 06:34.268 --> 06:36.395 Apart from the three people you have mentioned, 06:37.313 --> 06:38.980 who else can be found in the house? 06:39.107 --> 06:41.483 An elderly housekeeper, Mrs. Marker. 06:41.651 --> 06:43.902 And a young maid, Susan Talton. 06:45.530 --> 06:46.696 So who found the body? 06:46.948 --> 06:48.281 The maid, Mr. Holmes. 06:48.783 --> 06:51.701 She says she was working in an upstairs room when she heard a cry. 06:52.412 --> 06:54.621 She says by the time she got to the study, 06:54.789 --> 06:57.624 Smith was lying on the floor fatally wounded. 06:57.917 --> 06:58.750 She says. 07:38.124 --> 07:38.832 Prof... 07:40.793 --> 07:45.589 The professor... 07:47.008 --> 07:48.258 It was- 07:48.426 --> 07:49.176 she... 07:58.227 --> 08:01.605 The maid is prepared to swear that those were his exact words. 08:04.859 --> 08:06.276 "The professor..." 08:07.195 --> 08:08.236 "It was she." 08:09.947 --> 08:11.990 I've drawn up a rough plan 08:12.116 --> 08:13.867 which should give you a general idea 08:13.993 --> 08:16.328 of the position of the Professor's study. 08:16.454 --> 08:17.204 And also, 08:18.080 --> 08:21.541 the various points of the case which seem to me to be essential. 08:22.126 --> 08:25.253 As you can see, there are two corridors which lead from the study. 08:25.755 --> 08:28.465 One goes directly to a door at the back of the house. 08:28.674 --> 08:31.593 And the other straight to the Professor's ground floor bedroom. 08:32.595 --> 08:35.388 Two corridors at a 90 degree angle, 08:35.681 --> 08:38.558 joined at one end, outside the study. 08:39.185 --> 08:42.979 Now, assuming the assassin entered the house, how did he get in? 08:43.231 --> 08:46.149 Undoubtedly by the garden path and the back door 08:46.817 --> 08:50.612 which gives direct access via the corridor to the study. 08:50.821 --> 08:51.530 Exactly. 08:52.073 --> 08:54.407 And he must have made his escape along the same line, 08:54.534 --> 08:56.409 for of the two other exits from the study, 08:56.619 --> 08:59.162 one was blocked by the maid as she ran downstairs, 08:59.330 --> 09:01.373 and the other goes straight to the Professor's bedroom. 09:01.832 --> 09:03.833 Could not the assassin have made his escape 09:03.960 --> 09:05.627 from the study window? 09:05.753 --> 09:06.920 Locked, sir, from within. 09:07.088 --> 09:08.046 I see... 09:08.172 --> 09:11.758 It was an excellent opportunity to put your theories into practice. 09:12.134 --> 09:13.969 I directed my attention at once 09:14.095 --> 09:15.679 to the garden path 09:15.846 --> 09:17.764 which was saturated with recent rain. 09:19.100 --> 09:21.309 No footmarks were to be found on the path, 09:21.435 --> 09:24.104 but, there could be no question that someone- 09:24.438 --> 09:27.274 had passed along the grass border which lines it. 09:28.192 --> 09:31.069 And that he'd done so in order to avoid leaving a track. 09:31.362 --> 09:32.946 You found footmarks there? 09:33.447 --> 09:34.489 Not exactly. 09:34.740 --> 09:36.533 But the grass was trodden down, 09:36.701 --> 09:37.951 and it could only have been the murderer, 09:38.077 --> 09:41.454 since neither the gardener nor anyone else had been in the area that morning. 09:41.998 --> 09:43.832 And the rain had only begun during the night. 09:45.209 --> 09:46.459 Bravo, Inspector. 09:47.086 --> 09:49.879 I knew you'd appreciate my reasoning, Mr. Holmes. 09:54.385 --> 09:56.261 These tracks in the grass. 09:56.887 --> 09:58.138 Were they coming or going? 09:58.306 --> 10:00.432 It was impossible to say. There was never any outline. 10:02.268 --> 10:05.312 Pouring rain and blowing a hurricane ever since. 10:06.772 --> 10:10.066 They'll be harder to read now than the palimpsest. 10:16.866 --> 10:19.159 So, Inspector, what did you do, 10:20.119 --> 10:23.830 after you'd made certain that you'd made certain of nothing? 10:25.666 --> 10:28.710 Well, really Mr. Holmes, I think I made certain of a good deal. 10:29.587 --> 10:33.173 Somebody had entered the house cautiously from without, 10:33.299 --> 10:35.842 and then there are the dying man's own words. 10:36.427 --> 10:39.638 And finally, there was a very important piece of evidence 10:39.764 --> 10:41.806 found clasped in his right hand. 10:46.187 --> 10:48.229 Willoughby Smith had excellent sight. 10:48.564 --> 10:51.232 There can be no question that these were snatched from the face 10:52.568 --> 10:54.778 of the person or the assassin. 11:21.389 --> 11:23.640 The person you seek is a woman. 11:26.018 --> 11:26.935 Mycroft... 11:31.565 --> 11:34.275 That can be inferred from their delicacy, 11:34.819 --> 11:38.530 and also, of course from the last words of the dying man. 11:39.323 --> 11:41.658 They're handsomely mounted 11:41.826 --> 11:43.284 and solid gold. 11:45.663 --> 11:47.414 And an unusual strength. 11:48.124 --> 11:50.291 She must have appalling eyesight. 11:50.418 --> 11:51.835 The lady whose vision- 11:51.961 --> 11:54.629 has been so extremely contracted 11:54.755 --> 11:57.507 for any great length of time would surely bear- 11:57.633 --> 12:00.760 the physical characteristics of such a vision. 12:01.804 --> 12:03.638 Puckered forehead. 12:04.390 --> 12:06.182 Peering expression. 12:07.351 --> 12:09.436 Rounded shoulders. 12:10.771 --> 12:12.939 They've also recently been prepared. 12:16.235 --> 12:19.195 Of course, I'd intended to go the round of the London opticians. 12:19.613 --> 12:21.114 There's a train from Charing Cross to Chatham 12:21.282 --> 12:22.615 at 6 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Holmes. 12:22.742 --> 12:23.825 Then I shall take it. 12:24.410 --> 12:27.620 Have you anything more to tell us about the case, Inspector? 12:28.748 --> 12:31.416 I think you know as much as I do, sir. 12:31.584 --> 12:32.625 Perhaps more. 12:35.379 --> 12:36.296 Perhaps. 12:38.632 --> 12:39.340 Perhaps... 12:43.721 --> 12:47.640 What puzzles me is the utter want of all object in the crime. 12:47.975 --> 12:50.018 A man has been cruelly murdered, Mr. Holmes, 12:50.144 --> 12:52.479 and not a ghost of a motive can anyone suggest. 13:17.588 --> 13:19.255 Who alerted the local police? 13:19.423 --> 13:21.758 Mortimer, the gardener, an innocent. 13:22.176 --> 13:24.886 As soon as it became clear that it was a matter for Scotland Yard, 13:25.012 --> 13:26.638 the Chief Constable sent for me. 13:49.703 --> 13:50.411 Sorry, sir. 13:50.621 --> 13:51.204 You can't go in there. 13:52.039 --> 13:53.540 Just walk this way, please. 13:56.460 --> 13:58.753 It's all right, Constable, these gentlemen are with me. 14:04.593 --> 14:08.763 Apart from this lethal paper knife and the pince-nez, 14:08.889 --> 14:11.891 has anything been re-arranged or removed in this room since yesterday morning? 14:12.017 --> 14:14.227 No, Mr. Holmes, everything is exactly as it was. 14:14.645 --> 14:15.770 And the body? 14:16.814 --> 14:18.565 The body fell here. 14:19.233 --> 14:22.360 The wound was in the right side of the neck, 14:22.862 --> 14:24.153 from behind, 14:24.572 --> 14:25.363 forwards. 14:25.906 --> 14:27.532 Excellent, Inspector. 14:29.952 --> 14:31.119 And this bureau? 14:31.328 --> 14:33.454 The Professor assures me that nothing is missing. 14:33.706 --> 14:35.915 I'm satisfied that no robbery has taken place. 14:39.128 --> 14:41.629 Why did you not tell me about this scratch, Hopkins? 14:41.922 --> 14:43.256 Well I'd noticed it, of course, 14:43.382 --> 14:45.383 but you'll always find scratches around a keyhole. 14:47.761 --> 14:49.429 It looks recent. 14:49.930 --> 14:51.014 Very recent. 14:51.432 --> 14:53.182 There's the varnish too, 14:53.350 --> 14:56.144 like earth on either side of the furrow. 14:58.480 --> 14:59.731 Is it significant? 15:01.066 --> 15:03.109 That's father's magnifying glass. 15:03.736 --> 15:04.444 Yes. 15:05.738 --> 15:06.779 He gave it to you? 15:11.660 --> 15:13.661 How ironic, excuse me. 15:16.332 --> 15:17.957 Who was the last person who entered this room 15:18.083 --> 15:19.459 before Willoughby Smith and his murderer? 15:19.627 --> 15:20.251 I was. 15:21.295 --> 15:22.295 Mrs. Marker. 15:23.130 --> 15:24.130 The housekeeper. 15:24.298 --> 15:25.089 Yes. 15:25.841 --> 15:26.758 Please sit down. 15:26.967 --> 15:28.593 Thank you, I prefer to stand. 15:30.804 --> 15:32.972 You've probably heard of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. 15:34.183 --> 15:34.766 No. 15:36.644 --> 15:37.977 It's really not important. 15:39.980 --> 15:42.398 You were in this room before Willoughby Smith was murdered? 15:43.067 --> 15:44.400 About a quarter of an hour before. 15:44.568 --> 15:45.151 Why? 15:45.319 --> 15:47.320 I am the housekeeper, Mr. Holmes. 15:47.821 --> 15:50.657 I try to keep the study as clean and as tidy as possible. 15:51.408 --> 15:52.659 Not that you'd notice the difference. 15:53.953 --> 15:55.036 Were you alone in here? 15:55.496 --> 15:56.496 I was alone. 15:56.789 --> 15:58.831 I never come in here when the Professor's at work. 16:00.000 --> 16:03.294 As far as I know, Mr. Smith was upstairs in his room at the time. 16:03.420 --> 16:05.296 So you didn't see him at all. 16:05.464 --> 16:06.798 Not until after he'd... 16:07.299 --> 16:09.676 he was, been... 16:14.181 --> 16:16.599 I'd finished my housework in here 16:17.226 --> 16:19.978 and I was preparing the Professor's lunch... 16:20.521 --> 16:21.604 when I heard... 16:22.773 --> 16:24.524 By the time I reached the study, 16:26.485 --> 16:28.277 Mr. Smith was dead. 16:31.240 --> 16:33.533 Then you were obviously too late to hear his last words. 16:33.701 --> 16:36.035 I heard nothing except that dreadful cry. 16:36.203 --> 16:37.453 Wake up, Constable! 16:37.955 --> 16:38.913 What did you do then?
