WEBVTT

02:34.028 --> 02:35.195
Emilia.

03:17.322 --> 03:20.991
The strange case of the Red Circle
started in New York,

03:21.117 --> 03:23.452
and ended in the Antipodes.

03:23.578 --> 03:26.622
But first, I should explain
how two men with the initial "G"-

03:26.748 --> 03:28.123
came to be in London.

03:30.877 --> 03:35.631
Gennaro was the hero.
Black Gorgiano, the villain.

03:35.757 --> 03:38.592
And both men loved Emilia.

04:02.200 --> 04:03.283
Yes, what can I...

04:03.409 --> 04:04.451
You have a room to let?

04:04.577 --> 04:06.870
Yeah. Aah. Ooh, well you see,
I don't really...

04:06.996 --> 04:08.121
Who is it Albert?

04:08.248 --> 04:10.749
The the wife, she usually sees
to this you see.

04:10.875 --> 04:15.587
Er, er, visit my dear. Er, er,
wanting, a, a room.

04:15.713 --> 04:19.299
All right, Albert.
You go into your boat.

04:19.467 --> 04:22.302
Now sir. What do you require?

04:22.804 --> 04:26.932
Is it a room for a night?
Or for a longer stay?

04:33.147 --> 04:35.607
Well, Mrs Warren,
I cannot think you

04:35.733 --> 04:38.819
have any particular reason
for uneasiness.

04:39.654 --> 04:43.240
And you note I have other things
to engage me.

04:43.366 --> 04:45.826
Holmes the, the matter of a lodger

04:45.952 --> 04:48.495
remaining unseen in his room
for more than a week

04:48.663 --> 04:51.331
is surely of some passing interest.

04:51.457 --> 04:54.293
If I were her lodger, she wouldn't
see me for weeks on end.

04:55.253 --> 04:57.296
That doesn't trouble you,
does it, Mrs Hudson?

04:57.422 --> 05:00.048
Nothing troubles me,
where you're concerned, Mr. Holmes.

05:00.174 --> 05:02.426
But if you remember,

05:02.552 --> 05:06.138
you arranged an affair for a lodger
of Mrs Warren's a year ago.

05:06.264 --> 05:10.809
Yes, you did, sir.
An Italian gentleman, Mr. Firmani.

05:12.395 --> 05:13.979
Enrico Firmani?

05:17.358 --> 05:20.986
Mr. Firmani never stopped talking
of your kindness, sir.

05:21.112 --> 05:24.072
How you brought light
into the darkness.

05:26.492 --> 05:28.785
It was a Wagner night, I think.

05:31.873 --> 05:34.249
Let us hear about his lodger.

05:40.381 --> 05:44.676
It frightens me, Mr. Holmes.
I can't sleep for fright.

05:44.802 --> 05:48.263
Hearing his footsteps moving here
and moving there,

05:48.389 --> 05:51.558
from early morning 'til late
at night and yet never,

05:51.684 --> 05:53.852
never to catch so much
as a glimpse of him.

05:53.978 --> 05:56.688
Mr... Mr. Warren is
as nervous as I am.

06:01.736 --> 06:05.989
What's the fellow hiding from,
Mr. Holmes? What's he done?

06:06.115 --> 06:09.368
You see, except for the maid,
she's alone in the house with him.

06:09.494 --> 06:13.413
Oh, I... I can't stand it. My...
my nerves can't stand it.

06:13.539 --> 06:15.290
Watson... cope.

06:18.669 --> 06:21.546
Serious thoughts, Mrs Hudson
if you can.

06:28.763 --> 06:30.889
Take time to consider, Mrs Warren.

06:31.015 --> 06:34.518
The smallest point may be
the most essential.

06:40.316 --> 06:44.611
He came ten days ago
and he asked my terms.

06:44.737 --> 06:47.280
So, I told him
twelve shillings a week.

06:47.615 --> 06:50.283
There's a small sitting room
and a bedroom, all complete.

06:50.410 --> 06:51.952
All at the top of the house.

06:52.120 --> 06:56.289
And he said he'd pay me
three pounds a week for it.

06:56.457 --> 06:57.457
Three pounds?

06:57.583 --> 07:01.586
Yes sir. Three pounds a week,
as long as I kept his terms.

07:01.712 --> 07:02.754
What terms?

07:02.880 --> 07:05.924
Well, he wanted a key to the house.
Huh, that's alright.

07:06.050 --> 07:07.634
Most of my lodgers have 'em,

07:07.760 --> 07:12.764
but he was to be left entirely
to himself and never,

07:12.890 --> 07:15.475
on any account, to be disturbed.

07:15.643 --> 07:17.436
There's nothing very wonderful
about that?

07:17.562 --> 07:21.273
Hmm. Well not in reason.
But this is out of all reason.

07:21.399 --> 07:23.900
He's been there ten days,
morning, noon and night,

07:24.026 --> 07:25.777
and neither she nor Mr. Warren,

07:25.903 --> 07:27.863
nor the maid has once set
eyes on him.

07:27.989 --> 07:31.867
And apart from the first night,
he's never once gone out.

07:32.160 --> 07:33.618
Well, he did go out
on the first night?

07:33.744 --> 07:36.496
Oh yes, he did.
He returned very late.

07:36.998 --> 07:39.166
I'd gone up to bed,
but Mr. Warren...

07:39.292 --> 07:42.335
saw him. It was after midnight
he come back.

07:47.550 --> 07:50.844
But his meals,
I mean, surely he eats.

07:51.012 --> 07:52.804
Well, he rings when he wants them.

07:52.930 --> 07:54.848
Wed put them on a chair
outside his door.

07:54.974 --> 08:00.437
If he wants anything else,
he writes it on a bit of paper.

08:00.563 --> 08:05.859
Er, er, this... just in pencil.

08:06.027 --> 08:09.404
Just the one word,
nothing more. Here.

08:13.743 --> 08:18.705
The maid leaves the Daily Chronicle
with him every morning at breakfast.

08:20.082 --> 08:21.208
Why is it printed?

08:21.375 --> 08:24.002
Oh, to conceal his handwriting?

08:24.504 --> 08:25.921
Watson, Deduce.

08:26.214 --> 08:27.088
Me?

08:28.591 --> 08:34.888
Well, the er pencil is
broad-tipped and violet-tinted.

08:35.056 --> 08:38.600
And it's used with er, well,
it's used with considerable pressure.

08:38.726 --> 08:41.978
The paper's been torn off at the side
before the printing was done.

08:42.104 --> 08:45.232
You can see the, the "s"
of soap is...

08:46.734 --> 08:47.692
partly gone.

08:47.818 --> 08:48.818
Suggesting?

08:48.945 --> 08:49.569
Haste?

08:49.737 --> 08:53.740
Or caution?
The man's age and appearance?

08:53.866 --> 08:56.785
Oh, he's under thirty, sir.
He's very dark,

08:56.911 --> 08:59.246
middle height, clean shaven.

08:59.497 --> 09:01.998
Oh, has an accident
like Mr. Firmani.

09:02.124 --> 09:03.291
Of course. No name?

09:03.417 --> 09:04.376
No, sir.

09:06.003 --> 09:06.920
No letters or callers?

09:07.088 --> 09:08.088
Oh no. None, sir.

09:08.214 --> 09:12.050
His luggage? Labels? Stickers?

09:14.220 --> 09:15.762
White star?

09:17.473 --> 09:18.765
Ten days ago.

09:21.477 --> 09:25.564
New York. I er think that er,

09:27.108 --> 09:31.611
we must wait until
we have a little more material.

09:33.447 --> 09:35.198
Please vanish both of you.

09:36.701 --> 09:38.743
Thank you. Thank you.

09:40.621 --> 09:42.414
Thank you, Mr. Holmes.

09:42.957 --> 09:44.457
Thank you, Doctor.

09:46.669 --> 09:48.670
Leave it to me, Mrs Hudson.

09:59.181 --> 10:02.350
You must admit, Holmes.
There are some points of interest.

10:03.311 --> 10:07.063
Only that the man now in the rooms
may not be the one who engaged them.

10:07.898 --> 10:09.858
Yes, of course.
I hadn't thought of that.

10:10.359 --> 10:12.319
And he went out immediately
after taking the rooms,

10:12.486 --> 10:14.154
and returned at midnight.

10:15.072 --> 10:16.615
Why a subscription?

10:17.825 --> 10:23.330
Well, opens up a pleasurable field
for intelligent speculation.

10:23.956 --> 10:25.832
And there is one line of
investigation.

10:26.000 --> 10:28.293
Mrs. Warren's former lodger.

10:29.670 --> 10:32.714
Enrico Firmani of Naples.

10:34.216 --> 10:36.676
He works backstage,
with the Royal Opera House.

10:37.720 --> 10:44.601
I, erm, helped him find
a close relative once.

10:45.895 --> 10:47.395
A simple matter.

10:47.855 --> 10:51.691
37 Catchpole Street.
Mm, you've added something.

10:52.485 --> 10:55.236
A friend to his fellow
countryman in need?

10:55.529 --> 10:57.364
Do you suppose
he could have recommended

10:57.490 --> 11:00.033
his former lodgings to
a fellow countryman in need?

11:00.159 --> 11:01.284
Possibly.

11:02.036 --> 11:05.997
Mm... Well, it doesn't explain
the lodger's behaviour.

11:07.583 --> 11:11.211
Behaviour. What behaviour?

11:15.341 --> 11:17.217
How do you know this address?

11:17.677 --> 11:19.886
Ah, Mr. Sherlock Holmes...

11:20.471 --> 11:21.763
Mr. Holmes?

11:22.682 --> 11:25.392
He always keeps a record of
his past clients.

11:26.310 --> 11:29.729
But if Holmes has something to ask,
why does he not come himself?

11:29.855 --> 11:31.606
Why send you, Doctor Watson?

11:31.732 --> 11:35.402
Well. Ah,
I do on occasions act for myself.

11:36.570 --> 11:39.823
Well, I cannot help you,
I am afraid.

11:40.157 --> 11:42.826
I know nothing of this lodger of
Mrs. Warren's.

11:43.411 --> 11:45.453
Is he perhaps a fellow
countryman of yours,

11:45.538 --> 11:47.997
recently arrived from
America in need of help?

11:48.833 --> 11:50.792
Then tell him,
I am here if he needs me.

11:51.877 --> 11:53.336
That is all I can say.

11:55.214 --> 11:58.007
Excuse me. I must go to work now.

11:59.093 --> 12:01.594
It may be that
Mrs Warren needs help.

12:01.762 --> 12:03.388
The man is disturbing
her household.

12:03.514 --> 12:06.433
Why? What does he do to them?

12:06.559 --> 12:07.934
Well, it's more a case of
what he doesn't do-

12:08.102 --> 12:09.769
doesn't appear from dawn till dusk.

12:09.937 --> 12:12.522
He had meals on a tray
left outside the door.

12:13.232 --> 12:16.609
If he's a fugitive from justice we
should turn him over to the police.

12:17.445 --> 12:22.031
Police? No. No.

12:24.910 --> 12:25.994
Caio Mama.

12:35.713 --> 12:39.507
If there is a problem,
Holmes knows where to find me.

12:39.842 --> 12:43.303
At the theatre, not here, never here.
Doctor, you understand?

12:43.429 --> 12:45.972
You have enemies
in your line of work?

12:46.515 --> 12:49.267
Everyone has enemies,
whatever they do.

12:49.935 --> 12:51.603
Is that not true of life?

12:52.062 --> 12:54.397
But some are more at risk
than others with their-

12:54.523 --> 12:57.192
beliefs and their courage.

12:58.402 --> 13:03.239
I do what I do, Doctor.
Don't make me out to be a saint.

13:04.533 --> 13:06.534
Now, please, excuse me.

13:26.764 --> 13:30.725
"Signor Zamba, a senior partner in
the firm of Castalotte and Zamba,"

13:31.185 --> 13:32.977
"Chief fruit importers of New York,"

13:33.103 --> 13:35.772
"was stabbed repeatedly
on the steps of his mansion."

13:35.898 --> 13:39.192
Now, this is dated er,
eight weeks ago.

13:39.443 --> 13:41.361
"Detective Rimmer
of the Pinkerton Agency"

13:41.529 --> 13:42.153
Abe Rimmer...

13:42.279 --> 13:43.446
"said at the scene
of the slaying,"

13:43.572 --> 13:46.866
"we believe this is the work
of a Neapolitan society,"

13:47.034 --> 13:50.620
"allied to the old Carbonari,
known as the Red Circle"

13:50.871 --> 13:54.707
"famous throughout Europe a branch
has now been planted in Brooklyn."

13:54.875 --> 13:59.045
"Detectives are anxious
to question a Guiseppe Gorgiano."

13:59.213 --> 14:01.673
Now, Firmani, was hiding something
else. I can't describe the feeling.

14:01.799 --> 14:04.551
But there was a, there was an old
woman who I took to be his mother.

14:04.677 --> 14:07.053
His mother? You went to his home?

14:07.221 --> 14:08.179
Yes.

14:09.515 --> 14:11.850
Her face full of sorrow
and secrets?

14:12.268 --> 14:14.143
Is the person that you helped, Holmes?

14:14.270 --> 14:17.105
If you are holding something back I,
I should like you to tell me.

14:20.150 --> 14:21.734
By going to his home,

14:23.904 --> 14:26.489
you may have put Firmani's life
in danger.

14:26.615 --> 14:27.740
What?

14:30.202 --> 14:33.788
He is a point of refuge for
the Italian community in London.

14:34.415 --> 14:38.585
A beacon of light, if you will,
in a dark web of delivery.

14:39.753 --> 14:41.337
The Red Circle.

14:44.008 --> 14:47.760
God... And this Giorgiano?

14:47.887 --> 14:49.762
Black Gorgiano.

14:51.473 --> 14:55.602
He has earned the name of
"Death", La Morte,

14:55.936 --> 14:58.688
in Southern Italy and far beyond.

14:59.356 --> 15:03.651
He is red up to the elbows
in murder.

15:03.777 --> 15:06.112
Is it possible that
this Black Gorgiano-

15:06.280 --> 15:07.280
is the man at Mrs. Warren's?

15:07.406 --> 15:08.531
No, but there may be
some connection.

15:08.657 --> 15:10.491
Watson, we have work to do.

15:10.618 --> 15:12.118
The Opera House?

15:12.286 --> 15:14.078
And then Charing Cross

15:14.246 --> 15:17.290
to send a telegram
to my friend, Abe Rimmer.

15:41.690 --> 15:44.943
Wonderful, Miss Lake.
Just once more please.

15:53.702 --> 15:55.787
Enrico Firmani,

15:57.164 --> 15:59.332
vin a dente amigo mio.

16:01.168 --> 16:04.671
You have been troublesome
to me for a long time.

16:05.881 --> 16:07.715
But now you help me,

16:09.009 --> 16:11.386
in return for your life.

16:12.680 --> 16:14.180
Gennaro Lucca.

16:15.307 --> 16:17.183
Where are you hiding him?

16:18.727 --> 16:20.687
Will you tell me, Enrico?

16:49.842 --> 16:51.592
Er, nobody's allowed in here.

16:51.802 --> 16:53.886
Oh, it's er you, Mr. Holmes.

16:59.393 --> 17:01.019
Mr. Holmes?

17:01.645 --> 17:03.396
Hawkins. What brings you here?

17:03.564 --> 17:05.356
Same thing that brings you,
I expect.

17:05.482 --> 17:07.900
Well, you got on to it so fast,
I can't imagine.

17:08.068 --> 17:11.654
Different threads,
leading up to the same tangle.

17:11.780 --> 17:13.948
We've come to see Enrico Firmani.

17:14.074 --> 17:15.867
But Firmani's dead.

17:15.993 --> 17:20.079
He was found with his throat cut
less than two hours ago, up here.

17:20.706 --> 17:22.999
Murderer got clean away,
I'm afraid.

17:24.501 --> 17:25.752
Watson.

17:37.931 --> 17:39.348
You were right, Holmes.

17:40.726 --> 17:42.602
I should not have gone
this morning.

17:43.520 --> 17:45.063
Might have saved a life.

17:45.856 --> 17:48.107
I don't think you can blame
yourself for that.

17:50.402 --> 17:53.446
Golden boys and girls all must,

17:54.907 --> 17:57.742
as chimney sweepers come to dust.

18:05.959 --> 18:08.628
A person arrives alone in London.

18:09.046 --> 18:11.798
He seeks help from Firmani,
his fellow countryman

18:11.924 --> 18:14.550
who places him, for safety in
Mrs Warren's lodgings.

18:14.676 --> 18:20.098
And then Firmani is murdered rather
than give away the hiding place?

18:20.224 --> 18:25.061
No. No.
For that we can't be sure.

18:26.480 --> 18:27.772
But who killed him?

18:28.607 --> 18:34.821
Gorgiano? Is Gorgiano in England?
What does he want with this lodger?

18:35.197 --> 18:38.074
The person in that room
is entirely alone and at risk.

18:38.200 --> 18:40.451
I mean, even a letter
might be intercepted.

18:40.702 --> 18:43.246
How does a message reach him
from outside?

18:43.539 --> 18:47.834
Except by that most valuable
hunting ground

18:48.001 --> 18:50.670
ever given to the student of
the unusual.

18:50.796 --> 18:52.255
The Agony Columns?

18:52.381 --> 18:56.300
We need only concern ourselves

18:56.552 --> 19:01.681
with the Daily Chronicle
for the past two weeks,

19:01.849 --> 19:07.937
which our lodger collects
every morning after his breakfast.

19:10.023 --> 19:15.611
Oh. Oh, dear me, what a chorus
of cries and groans.

19:15.737 --> 19:20.366
What a rag-bag of singular
happenings oh.

19:22.953 --> 19:27.957
"Lady with a feather boa
at Prince's Skating club"...

19:29.334 --> 19:30.793
Holmes, listen to this.

19:31.670 --> 19:34.797
"Be patient. Will find
some means of communication."

19:34.923 --> 19:37.300
"Meanwhile this column G."

19:40.220 --> 19:42.054
Can you pick up a trace again?

19:42.181 --> 19:44.599
Ah. Here we are. Here. Er.

19:45.350 --> 19:48.060
"I'm making successful
arrangements."

19:48.562 --> 19:52.732
"Patience and prudence.
The clouds will pass. G."

19:55.903 --> 19:57.153
No, nothing.

20:01.533 --> 20:03.910
Here, here.
"The path is clearing."

20:04.036 --> 20:08.414
"If I find chance to signal message
remember code as agreed."

20:08.582 --> 20:10.583
That's two days ago.

20:12.252 --> 20:13.878
Mrs. Hudson.

20:15.464 --> 20:17.965
What is it Mr. Holmes?
I'm washing curtains.

20:18.091 --> 20:21.844
The Daily Chronicle. Yesterday
and today, if you'd be so kind.

20:23.847 --> 20:25.598
Patience and prudence.

20:26.058 --> 20:29.435
Ah. The affair begins to
grow more intelligible.

21:24.658 --> 21:25.950
I've found it.

21:26.618 --> 21:28.494
"House with porch and black door."

21:28.662 --> 21:31.998
"First floor. Window right.
After dusk. G."

21:32.124 --> 21:36.419
There you are.
"G"? Black Gorgiano.

21:36.670 --> 21:38.671
Could it be a trap
to draw the person out?

21:38.839 --> 21:39.880
Unlikely.

21:40.007 --> 21:42.174
Well, should we not tell the police
what we know about The Red Circle.

21:42.342 --> 21:45.886
Tell the police. They find it difficult
enough to deal with the facts

21:46.013 --> 21:49.557
without confusing them
with our suppositions.

21:49.725 --> 21:50.933
Oh, listen to this.

21:51.268 --> 21:55.354
"Motiveless murder" according to
Inspector Hawkins.

21:55.480 --> 21:56.522
Really.

21:56.940 --> 21:59.608
Mr Holmes, Doctor,
you must come quickly.

21:59.735 --> 22:01.610
There's been a kidnapping.

22:02.654 --> 22:06.532
This is a police matter, Mr. Holmes.
I'm throwing that lodger out.

22:06.700 --> 22:08.409
I'd have gone straight up and
told him so, if it hadn't been...

22:08.535 --> 22:12.538
But she thought it was only right to
ask your opinion first, Mr. Holmes.

22:12.706 --> 22:15.291
A large pot of tea please,
Mrs. Hudson.

22:18.086 --> 22:19.670
I'm at the end of my patience,

22:19.796 --> 22:22.214
when it comes to knocking
my old man about...

22:22.341 --> 22:23.257
Who knocked him about?

22:23.383 --> 22:27.595
Oh, I wish I knew that.
It happened this morning, sir.

22:28.347 --> 22:31.015
Mr. Warren, he's a timekeeper

22:31.141 --> 22:34.894
at Norton and Waylight's on
Tottenham Court Road.

22:35.103 --> 22:38.314
He has to leave the house
before seven in the morning.

22:38.440 --> 22:41.233
It would great, greatly help me
if I could speak to him myself.

22:43.236 --> 22:44.362
All right.

22:46.490 --> 22:48.699
Take care, Holmes. His heart.

22:48.909 --> 22:51.118
Can you speak Mr. Warren?

22:51.244 --> 22:55.373
Well, I hadn't gone ten paces

22:56.750 --> 22:59.001
before two men crept up behind me.

22:59.127 --> 23:02.671
They threw a coat over his head,
bundled him into a cab,

23:02.798 --> 23:07.885
and drove off, and shot him out.
On Hampstead Heath.

23:08.011 --> 23:09.512
Hampstead Heath.

23:09.721 --> 23:12.848
Dreadful.
What did you observe?

23:14.476 --> 23:16.102
I took a bus home.

23:16.228 --> 23:17.686
Before the bus.

23:18.271 --> 23:21.399
There men...
did you observe their appearance?

23:21.525 --> 23:22.942
No, sir, no.

23:23.110 --> 23:27.238
I was picked up as if by magic
and dropped as if by magic.

23:29.449 --> 23:31.784
Yes. Three of 'em
at least was in on it.

23:32.452 --> 23:33.744
Maybe four.

23:34.287 --> 23:35.788
Did you hear them talk?

23:37.165 --> 23:41.377
One of them swore
some oaths in Italian.

23:41.962 --> 23:44.213
Money is not everything.

23:44.339 --> 23:47.466
I'll have him out of here
before the day's done.

23:47.759 --> 23:50.136
I should like to meet
this lodger of yours.

23:50.470 --> 23:52.138
What time does he take his lunch?

23:52.722 --> 23:53.973
One o'clock sharp.

23:54.391 --> 23:57.685
Is there anywhere
where we might conceal ourselves?

23:57.811 --> 23:59.854
Yes. There's a box-room upstairs.

24:00.564 --> 24:02.022
Is there a looking glass?

24:02.816 --> 24:06.777
Yes. There's one on a chest of
drawers, outside on the landing.

24:06.903 --> 24:08.696
Excellent. Come, Watson.

24:09.322 --> 24:11.073
What about me, then?

24:12.075 --> 24:13.742
We've got forty minutes.

24:32.345 --> 24:35.347
It's clear now that his enemies
mistook their man.

24:35.849 --> 24:38.267
What they would have done if
they'd got him, bears on thinking?

24:38.393 --> 24:40.936
Yes, but they didn't.
Do you see what I see?

24:42.689 --> 24:44.857
A house with a porch
and black door.

24:44.983 --> 24:48.611
With a room to let to which
"G" could have access.

24:50.697 --> 24:53.157
Holmes, I feel very strongly that
we should inform Scotland Yard.

24:53.283 --> 24:56.035
Not yet. We are on watch,

24:57.496 --> 24:59.872
and maybe being watched.

25:00.874 --> 25:03.542
Let us see what lies
behind these lodgings.

25:21.978 --> 25:23.145
How's he feeling?

25:23.271 --> 25:27.066
Oh he's alright.
He just likes a fuss made of him.

27:16.009 --> 27:17.343
Mr. Holmes?

27:17.510 --> 27:20.638
Bolt the door and let no one
in until we return.

27:20.764 --> 27:21.930
Did you see him?

27:22.057 --> 27:25.476
Mrs. Warren. Trust me.

27:32.192 --> 27:34.026
I don't know when he's coming back.

27:34.194 --> 27:36.362
He, he gave me some money,
and I haven't seen him since.

27:36.488 --> 27:37.988
A foreign gentleman, you say?

27:38.114 --> 27:40.532
Definitely, and I,
I don't care for foreigners.

27:40.700 --> 27:42.076
Oh, really.

27:42.202 --> 27:43.702
So I... if you want it,
gentlemen,

27:43.828 --> 27:46.789
I'll be sure we can come
to an arrangement.

27:48.041 --> 27:49.124
I'll be in the hall, sir,
when you've finished.

27:49.292 --> 27:50.042
Thank you.

27:53.797 --> 27:55.005
Nothing in here.

27:56.174 --> 27:59.259
Perfect. Look, Watson.

28:00.345 --> 28:04.515
The first floor window of the
lodgings. Our agitated lady.

28:06.393 --> 28:09.561
Only a few more hours
to wait before the signal.

28:11.189 --> 28:13.190
"After dusk. G."

28:15.193 --> 28:19.321
It has all the makings of
some love escapade.

28:20.073 --> 28:21.240
Love?

28:23.535 --> 28:25.911
Love may be at the root of it,

28:27.080 --> 28:30.791
but her face. Oh, Watson her face.

28:31.209 --> 28:35.087
She fears for her life.
Now consider.

28:35.755 --> 28:41.510
A couple seek refuge in London
from some instant and terrible fear.

28:41.678 --> 28:44.847
The man desires her utmost safety

28:45.390 --> 28:49.351
and arranges to communicate
in such original fashion

28:49.602 --> 28:52.771
that not even the landlady
knows of the substitution.

28:52.939 --> 28:56.024
Those printed messages
to prevent the fact that

28:56.151 --> 28:59.862
she's a woman being revealed
by her hand writing?

29:01.740 --> 29:03.198
Look.

29:04.200 --> 29:06.118
A candle and matches.

29:08.288 --> 29:09.663
Their signal.

29:09.956 --> 29:12.332
But there's no need
for this now, surely?

29:12.876 --> 29:14.793
Can't we just simply
bring them together?

29:14.919 --> 29:18.630
And guarantee that we'd protect
them forever from The Red Circle?

29:18.965 --> 29:23.385
No, we must let them play
this thing out.

29:26.514 --> 29:28.807
I must return briefly
to Baker Street.

29:29.225 --> 29:31.268
Do you have reason enough to
stay in the lodgings?

29:31.394 --> 29:34.104
Mr. Warren's health
gives me every excuse.

29:34.314 --> 29:37.441
It might be advisable for me
to bring back your revolver.

29:37.776 --> 29:39.151
No need, old man. I have it.

29:39.319 --> 29:40.861
Good. Splendid.

29:48.661 --> 29:50.496
I'll see you within the hour.

29:56.169 --> 30:00.005
Hawkins. Journeys end
with lovers' meeting.

30:00.173 --> 30:02.424
I'll do you this justice,
Mr. Holmes,

30:02.550 --> 30:06.428
I was never in a case yet I didn't feel
stronger for having you on my side.

30:08.056 --> 30:11.016
"Fugitives may be Gennaro
and Emilia Lucca."

30:11.184 --> 30:15.479
"If so, in grave danger.
Expect agent imminently."

30:15.605 --> 30:18.899
"Regards, Abe Rimmer."...
The agent's here.

30:19.025 --> 30:21.944
He arrived from New York this
morning. His name's Leverton.

30:22.070 --> 30:23.695
Leverton, I know of him.

30:23.822 --> 30:29.368
The man he's after is Black Gorgiano.
Leader of the Red Circle.

30:30.495 --> 30:32.913
Do we score ever you for once,
Mr. Holmes?

30:33.915 --> 30:36.041
You must give us
best son of the time.

30:38.545 --> 30:45.050
I think that we should pool
our resources. Mmm?

31:06.614 --> 31:08.156
There's someone up there.

31:13.454 --> 31:14.663
Mrs. Warren.

31:26.509 --> 31:27.801
Holmes...

31:28.386 --> 31:30.095
Keep the peace downstairs.

31:30.430 --> 31:32.764
I must have a word with
Senora Lucca.

31:47.614 --> 31:52.743
Senora Lucca. It's Sherlock
Holmes. I must speak to you.

31:53.119 --> 31:55.746
Oh, no, no.

31:58.625 --> 32:01.251
Your husband, Gennaro,
will be safe, and so will you.

32:01.377 --> 32:03.879
If you will place yourself
in our hands.

32:10.094 --> 32:12.054
Scotland Yard is
watching the house,

32:13.181 --> 32:15.974
and Mr. Leverton is
on his way from New York.

32:17.977 --> 32:19.645
Mr. Leverton?

32:26.361 --> 32:30.906
We shall not let any harm
come to you. Please let me in.

32:33.785 --> 32:35.035
Please.

32:40.124 --> 32:43.168
I'm not goin' up there again, never.

32:43.294 --> 32:46.546
Oh, don't be silly, Vera, don't be
silly. You know what the doctor said.

32:46.673 --> 32:48.715
It was just a cat scratching.

32:48.841 --> 32:51.843
No, it wasn't, it lifted.

32:51.970 --> 32:54.888
Mrs. Hudson. Would you make Vera
a cup of tea, please?

32:55.556 --> 33:00.519
What is going on in this house?
Noises, lights going off.

33:01.145 --> 33:02.270
It'll be the death of me.

33:02.397 --> 33:04.022
Oh my nerves.

33:04.607 --> 33:08.193
I was born in Posilippo
near Naples.

33:08.861 --> 33:10.946
My father was chief lawyer.

33:12.198 --> 33:14.199
Gennaro had no money
and no position,

33:14.367 --> 33:20.038
nothing but his beauty,
his strength and energy.

33:21.666 --> 33:24.710
My father forbade a match,
and we ran away,

33:25.086 --> 33:26.962
we were married in Bari.

33:27.755 --> 33:30.632
I sold my jewels
to bring us to America.

33:33.052 --> 33:35.220
Fortune smiled at first.

33:35.555 --> 33:39.558
Gennaro saved a rich Italian form
some ruffians in the Bowery.

33:40.226 --> 33:42.394
He was Signor Castalotte,

33:43.312 --> 33:47.024
of Castalotte and
Zamba the Fruit Importers.

33:48.026 --> 33:50.402
Gennaro became like a son to him.

34:01.998 --> 34:03.915
Tell me about this visitor.

34:05.626 --> 34:08.211
This friend of your husband's
from Posilippo.

34:08.463 --> 34:10.255
Ah, he is no friend.

34:11.674 --> 34:13.884
Gennaro brought him home one day.

34:14.135 --> 34:17.929
They had met in the street.
He came again and again.

34:18.890 --> 34:22.768
He talked and raved about
politics and social questions

34:22.935 --> 34:26.480
and what he meant to do...
whirling his great arm,

34:26.939 --> 34:29.816
his voice was like thunder
in our little house.

34:29.942 --> 34:31.568
And your husband?

34:32.695 --> 34:36.531
He sat pale and listless.

34:37.325 --> 34:42.621
At first I thought it was dislike,
but then I understood

34:43.331 --> 34:46.792
it was a deep secret fear...

34:48.294 --> 34:51.963
I implored him out of love for me
by all we held dear,

34:52.090 --> 34:54.966
to tell me why this man
overshadowed him.

35:02.100 --> 35:07.687
In his wild young days, when
all the world seemed against him,

35:08.314 --> 35:13.777
he had joined a brotherhood.
Il circa Roso, The Red Circle.

35:15.822 --> 35:20.826
He thought it's purpose was to put
right the injustice of life.

35:23.204 --> 35:25.789
Once you have taken
it's dreadful oath...

35:29.919 --> 35:35.423
Tell me about you and Gorgiano.

35:38.719 --> 35:42.681
I had noticed for some time
when he came to us,

35:43.850 --> 35:46.977
his eyes were always
turned upon me,

35:47.520 --> 35:50.605
his terrible, glaring eyes...

35:51.482 --> 35:53.024
And one evening,

35:55.236 --> 35:57.904
I had awakened
what he called "love" in him.

35:58.030 --> 35:59.239
Emilia...

36:01.951 --> 36:05.120
But it was the love of
a brute, a savage.

36:26.350 --> 36:30.228
A few days later, there was
a Red Circle meeting.

36:33.191 --> 36:37.068
Signor Castalotte had been approached
for money and refused them.

36:38.404 --> 36:42.574
Now they planned to kill him.
They drew lots.

36:50.458 --> 36:56.338
It was fixed. It was Gorgiano's
revenge for my rejecting him.

36:56.464 --> 36:57.881
Gennaro.

37:04.347 --> 37:06.223
My dearest friend.

37:09.936 --> 37:11.770
In all the world.

37:12.772 --> 37:14.773
And then you both
went to the police?

37:15.608 --> 37:17.150
I went alone.

37:17.818 --> 37:18.693
That was brave.

37:18.819 --> 37:21.112
Yes, but what has it done?

37:21.739 --> 37:24.616
They got us away,
but friends still die.

37:24.784 --> 37:27.535
We shall never be rid of
that beast. Never.

37:29.121 --> 37:30.664
And now you must go.

37:31.207 --> 37:33.833
I have said too much, and broken
my promise to my husband.

37:34.752 --> 37:37.087
Go, please, go.

38:30.641 --> 38:32.350
You sail at dawn.

38:32.518 --> 38:36.521
Enrico would have wished it.
Go safely to a new life.

38:37.648 --> 38:38.898
Grazie.

39:17.688 --> 39:20.273
He can't stay here all night.

39:22.943 --> 39:26.112
Will if he has to.
Won't you doctor?

39:28.866 --> 39:32.994
Well, in that case
I wouldn't mind a game of whist.

39:34.538 --> 39:37.040
Do you play whist, Doctor?

40:00.731 --> 40:02.273
Mr. Holmes?

40:03.901 --> 40:05.443
Emilia...

40:07.405 --> 40:12.450
Emilia, mio amore...

40:31.387 --> 40:32.679
Hawkins.

40:33.889 --> 40:36.224
I've set my men on watch,
Mr. Holmes.

40:36.892 --> 40:38.685
What are you expecting to happen?

40:38.811 --> 40:42.480
Oh, well there are times, when the
art of detection is of little use.

40:44.567 --> 40:47.360
We must wait upon
the unpredictable.

40:47.820 --> 40:50.363
I've had some experience of
that in my time.

40:51.073 --> 40:55.660
I can say only that we are expecting
Senora Lucca's husband.

40:56.912 --> 40:59.831
You must let him pass.
You, your men must not distract him.

40:59.957 --> 41:00.999
They know that.

41:01.542 --> 41:02.625
And our murderer?

41:02.751 --> 41:04.210
Oh, he is about.

41:05.838 --> 41:11.092
Somewhere. Oh, waiting his chance.

41:11.218 --> 41:12.844
We have a good description
from the American,

41:13.012 --> 41:15.472
Leverton. We'll be ready.

41:18.350 --> 41:19.434
Look.

41:22.605 --> 41:23.771
Watson.

42:05.940 --> 42:08.816
Senora Lucca.
You must give me the signal.

42:08.943 --> 42:12.612
Go away. I don't trust you.
I trust no one but my husband.

42:12.738 --> 42:13.863
I'm obliged to you, Doctor.

42:13.989 --> 42:16.616
The main thing is just to keep
this still as possible.

42:16.742 --> 42:17.825
Fine.

42:19.286 --> 42:20.370
Mr. Holmes?

42:20.621 --> 42:23.665
Holmes, this is Mr. Leverton
of the Pinkerton Agency.

42:23.791 --> 42:24.916
Leverton.

42:26.168 --> 42:30.213
Of the Long Island Cave mystery.
I am honoured to meet you.

42:30.339 --> 42:31.339
The honour is mine, Mr. Holmes.

42:31.465 --> 42:33.591
Well, well, well.

42:33.759 --> 42:35.468
I'm sorry we had to meet like this.

42:35.594 --> 42:38.304
You're a brave man.
I saw you on the roof.

42:39.181 --> 42:41.558
When you're on the trail of
a lifetime, Mr. Holmes,

42:41.684 --> 42:45.270
you put all thoughts of personal
safety out of your mind.

42:45.854 --> 42:47.605
The brute got away, I suppose.

42:47.773 --> 42:49.941
Yes. But he'll be back soon.

42:50.276 --> 42:54.320
There's something in this house
that he wants badly.

42:54.446 --> 42:56.948
Oh yes, I know. Thank you, doctor.
I'm fine, just fine.

42:57.116 --> 42:59.117
Is the lady upstairs safe?

42:59.243 --> 43:01.327
Yes, but trusting no one.

43:01.787 --> 43:04.956
And so we must wait
for her husband's signal.

43:05.124 --> 43:06.666
What signal, Mr. Holmes?

43:17.803 --> 43:19.971
Leverton, the lamp please.

43:22.516 --> 43:24.976
So, Gennaro Lucca is
over there now.

43:25.144 --> 43:27.145
Not yet, but he will be I hope.

43:27.438 --> 43:29.814
I couldn't find Lucca
when I got to London.

43:30.107 --> 43:34.527
Well, my contact was Enrico Firmani
but the brute reached him first

43:34.820 --> 43:37.655
and he must have made him
talk before killing him.

43:37.823 --> 43:40.158
Holmes, should we not go upstairs
reassure Mrs Lucca?

43:40.284 --> 43:41.784
She won't admit us, Watson.

43:42.953 --> 43:45.246
She will only answer to her husband.
Oh, look...

43:45.539 --> 43:49.667
Hawkins. Not too conspicuous.

43:50.294 --> 43:53.588
Yes, er Inspector Hawkins
he seems an able fellow.

43:53.714 --> 43:57.425
One of Scotland Yard's finest.
He knows his business.

44:15.694 --> 44:16.944
Gentlemen.

44:18.364 --> 44:21.407
Gennaro Lucca has just gone in.

44:22.701 --> 44:24.035
So far, so good.

44:24.745 --> 44:28.790
Mrs Lucca came to us the night the
Red Circle planned to kill Castalotte.

44:30.459 --> 44:32.752
They'd already murdered
his partner, Zamba.

44:34.463 --> 44:36.964
We managed to round up
most of the gang but

44:37.716 --> 44:39.717
Black Gorgiano slipped the net.

44:41.762 --> 44:45.515
When we heard he'd left for England,
I followed after him, fast as I could.

44:47.351 --> 44:50.853
I got in touch with Scotland Yard
but he'd gone to ground.

45:52.541 --> 45:54.709
There's a single light.
What does it mean?

45:55.377 --> 45:56.586
Tonight.

46:00.299 --> 46:01.340
Gone.

46:01.633 --> 46:03.342
No, no. There it is again.

46:06.638 --> 46:10.683
Three lights, measured, slow.

46:11.810 --> 46:14.312
What's he saying?
What does it mean?

46:14.480 --> 46:16.564
Nothing. Nothing.

46:18.442 --> 46:20.985
But his next actions
must confirm it.

46:21.820 --> 46:25.448
He must come here to collect her.

46:33.290 --> 46:34.499
It's gone.

46:34.666 --> 46:36.209
The message received?

46:36.335 --> 46:37.585
But what message?

46:43.550 --> 46:44.926
Gennaro.

46:46.845 --> 46:50.515
My dearest friend in all the world

46:52.351 --> 46:56.562
and betrayer of the brotherhood.

46:59.441 --> 47:01.526
There's no message.
There's someone with him.

47:03.946 --> 47:05.029
Watson.

47:06.073 --> 47:06.864
Did you hear that, Holmes?

47:07.032 --> 47:08.866
Yes. Danger.

47:08.992 --> 47:11.619
My God, look she's out there,
on the street.

47:11.995 --> 47:12.995
Watson.

47:32.850 --> 47:35.685
Hawkins,
your murderer is up there.

47:35.811 --> 47:38.479
Impossible. There's only one
entrance... just a minute.

47:38.605 --> 47:40.606
He's mine, Hawkins.
I'll take responsibility.

47:40.732 --> 47:43.734
No you won't sir. London dangers
are up to the London force.

47:46.029 --> 47:47.363
Gennaro?

48:07.759 --> 48:08.926
Emilia.

48:21.273 --> 48:23.357
Watson. Take them away
from this horror.

48:42.628 --> 48:43.836
Emilia...

48:48.759 --> 48:50.760
Australia. Si.

48:52.262 --> 48:54.138
I'll take those tickets, sir.

48:55.974 --> 48:59.143
Please, our ship sails at dawn.

49:07.402 --> 49:09.195
What are you going to do with
him, Inspector?

49:09.321 --> 49:12.490
He will be arrested and tried
for the murder of Gorgiano.

49:12.658 --> 49:14.116
That is the law.

49:14.534 --> 49:17.578
Well, I don't know
what your British Law maybe.

49:17.704 --> 49:19.288
But I guess that
in New York, this lady's-

49:19.414 --> 49:22.500
husband will receive
a pretty general vote of thanks.

49:25.170 --> 49:27.838
There's not a judge on earth
that would condemn this man.

49:28.423 --> 49:31.217
I don't think Mr. And Mrs. Lucca
have too much to fear.

49:31.635 --> 49:33.761
But we have to go through
the procedures.

49:34.388 --> 49:35.846
Take them downstairs.

49:41.853 --> 49:44.647
No doubt if you'd been here
on your own, Mr. Holmes,

49:45.023 --> 49:46.899
you'd have found
a different solution?

49:47.275 --> 49:50.069
The law is what we live with,
Inspector.

49:50.946 --> 49:56.367
Justice is sometimes harder
to achieve.

49:57.285 --> 49:58.828
What I still don't understand
is how you came to be

49:58.954 --> 50:00.830
mixed up in all this
in the first place?

50:00.956 --> 50:02.832
Goodnight, Inspector.

50:04.209 --> 50:05.668
Goodnight, Mr. Holmes.

50:37.743 --> 50:40.786
English justice looked kindly
on the young couple,

50:40.912 --> 50:43.539
and soon afterwards
they left for Australia.

50:44.374 --> 50:46.709
There, they found
a new and happier life,
