166 beats in 65 sequences, cut automatically at shot boundaries scored on picture change, pauses in speech, topic shifts, on-screen text and cutting rhythm (each beat says why it starts where it does). Each is annotated by a vision-language model from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in it, as observations with evidence; anything the frames and lines do not support is left null. Machine annotation (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct), checked automatically: quotes must be verbatim, names must be spoken, "visible" events are sampled to a second model. 166 of 166 beats annotated, 162 passed the checks, 4 flagged.

  21. 4:01 We'll give you two pounds for it. Who's starting with two pounds? Will anybody start with two pounds? How come, comrades and gentlemen? You know, from your enthusiasm, we might all be in Scotland instead of London. Please buy it for me, Daddy. Two pounds, certainly not. We all might be in Scotland.
  22. 4:16 Besides, I don't like his manner.
  23. 4:18 One pound ten shillings.
  24. 4:20 One pound. One pound is off. One pound. One pound is offered. One pound is offered. One pound. Any advance?
  25. 4:25 Where once...
  26. 4:26 And twice, the third and the last call.
  27. 4:30 Sold to the lady for one pound.
  28. 4:33 Bart Bidding, my dear.
  29. 4:34 Thank you. We come to the third and last of these beautiful little musical boxes.
  30. 4:39 Exactly the same. Tinkle, tinkle. Isn't that lovely?
  31. 4:42 Ladies and gentlemen, I don't bring you here to Gullion and Swindle yet. This is the exact replica of those two I just sold before.
  32. 4:54 I
  33. 4:56 We're closed. But this is extremely important.
  34. 5:01 Come in sir, come in. I'm sorry to disturb you, but I was unfortunately delayed from arriving in time to bid on certain articles which I was rather anxious to obtain. Or perhaps they were sold sir.
  35. 5:12 We are carrying several things over.
  36. 5:15 What might the articles be, sir? Three identical musical boxes about so large. Oh, I'm sorry, sir, but they were sold.
  37. 5:23 Fitty you weren't here to bid on them. They didn't bring anything like the real value. I'm most anxious to obtain them.
  38. 5:30 I wonder if your records would show who the purchasers were.
  39. 5:33 Oh, we don't usually give out that information, sir.
  40. 5:36 For certain, shall we say, sentimental reasons,
  41. 5:40 Most anxious to get in touch with the purchasers.
  42. 5:43 I'd be willing to pay, shall we say, uh...
  43. 5:46 Five pounds.
  44. 5:48 Well, for certain sentimental reasons, sir, we'd be very happy to oblige. Alfred, today's sale. The three musical boxes. Musical boxes.
  45. 5:56 Ah, here we are. The first purchase for two pounds from Mr. Julian Emery, 52, Portman Square. Write this address down, Alfred. Yes, sir.
  46. 6:03 Second didn't leave any name. Oh, how unfortunate. I think she's a dealer. You see, they don't like us to know where the things are going. On account of the profits.
  47. 6:11 You say the second purchaser was a woman
  48. 6:15 Can you give me a description of her? Oh, she's a young woman.
  49. 6:19 Fairly tall, slender.
  50. 6:20 and a light complexion and dark hair and
  51. 6:24 And she was wearing a grey suit, don't you remember? She probably runs a gift shop.
  52. 6:29 She paid one pound.
  53. 6:32 You say she comes here fairly frequently? No, I didn't say so.
  54. 6:37 But she does, sir.
  55. 6:39 Like as not, she'll come in on Thursday.
  56. 6:41 We have sales on Mondays and Thursdays.
  57. 6:43 Uh-huh.
  58. 6:44 and the uh third box the third oh
  59. 6:47 Mr. William Kilgore, 143 B Hampton Way.
  60. 6:51 for ten shilling
  61. 6:52 Hmm, quite a drop from two pounds.
  62. 6:54 Mr. Kilgore was a Scotchman.
  63. 6:56 Oh.
  64. 7:02 And any time you're passing, dropping,
  65. 7:04 We always have lovely things for sale. How can't you? Thank you. I'll be back Thursday.
  66. 7:18 The message reached us too late.
  67. 7:21 Musical boxes are being sold.
  68. 7:26 Let's get out of here.
  69. 7:33 Some day you'll go too far.
  70. 7:39 Reaching for a star, you fool.
  71. 7:42 Yet a fool may touch a star, Colonel Cavanaugh.
  72. 7:45 If you retire enough...
  73. 7:47 I'm not possessing it as you would.
  74. 7:51 The musical boxes, they've been sold.
  75. 7:53 What a pity for you, my dear Colonel.
  76. 7:56 Is it my fault that the message reached us only an hour ago?
  77. 8:00 My fault that they were sold?
  78. 8:02 You can't hold me responsible for that.
  79. 8:05 Hope for your sake you're right
  80. 8:39 They will call upon you tonight at a quarter to eight a gentleman who desires to consult you.
  81. 8:43 upon a matter of the very deepest moment.
  82. 8:45 All right.
  83. 8:46 Remember that letter, Holmes? It was written over two years ago. Interesting case. Devilously interesting.
  84. 8:54 Irene Adler.
  85. 8:56 What a striking looking woman from the brief glance I heard of her. She was only yesterday.
  86. 9:01 What charm. What poison. What a mind.
  87. 9:05 sharp enough and brilliant enough to outwit the
  88. 9:08 The great Sherlock Holmes himself.
  89. 9:11 I take it the new issue of the Strand Magazine is out, containing another of your slightly lurid tales.
  90. 9:16 Indeed.
  91. 9:18 What do you call this one?
  92. 9:20 I call it a scandal in Bohemia. Not a bad title, eh? Hmm.
  93. 9:25 If you must record my exploits...
  94. 9:27 I do wish you'd put less emphasis on the melodramatic.
  95. 9:31 and more on the intellectual issues involved,
  96. 9:33 We're on the internet.
  97. 9:34 What do you mean by that?
  98. 9:35 Well, I do hope you've given, uh...
  99. 9:38 The woman, a soul.
  100. 9:40 She had one, you know. By "the woman," I suppose you mean Irene Adler.
  101. 9:45 Yes.
  102. 9:47 I shall always remember her.
  103. 9:50 as the woman.
  104. 10:01 You're in.
  105. 10:04 I think...
  106. 10:06 I want you to meet my old friend Sharon Holmes.
  107. 10:13 Holmes, this is stinky. In other words, Julian Emery. How do you do, Mr. Emery? Watson is often spoken of you. Oh, has he?
  108. 10:20 Yes, we were at school together. Yes, more years ago than I care to remember, but you didn't come in here just to remind me of that.
  109. 10:25 No, I just happened to be in the neighborhood and saw your lights burning, sir. I took the liberty of...
  110. 10:30 Look at you up.
  111. 10:31 Still writing your mystery stuff? Yes, there's a new one out this week.
  112. 10:35 Good, I never miss them.
  113. 10:36 Oh, good. Thanks.
  114. 10:37 I say that bandage makes you look very interesting.
  115. 10:40 Still poking your nose into other people's business as usual? Who hit you? I haven't the fariest notion.
  116. 10:45 Suddenly I'll be on the head of my own living room.
  117. 10:47 then proceeded to commit the most idiotic burglary you ever heard of.
  118. 10:51 - The fellow must have been barbie as a coot. - Barbie? Why?
  119. 10:54 Come sit down, old boy. Would you like a cup of tea?
  120. 10:59 Oh, all right. I'll go and tell Mrs. Hudson about it.
  121. 11:02 So.
  122. 11:04 I'm
  123. 11:06 Why did you say the robbery was idiotic, Mr. Emery?
  124. 11:08 Oh, simply from the fact that with about 5,000 pounds worth of musical boxes in my living room...
  125. 11:13 the thief who I caught in the act.
  126. 11:15 made off of one that doesn't even worth five pounds.
  127. 11:17 I gather you're a collector of musical boxes.
  128. 11:20 Yes, I have indeed. Some of them are very beautiful, but not the one that was stolen.
  129. 11:24 The thief evidently grabbed the first thing that came to his hand and he heard me coming into the room.
  130. 11:28 It's rather odd, isn't it, that having disposed of you...
  131. 11:32 He didn't pick up something more valuable.
  132. 11:34 Mm-hmm.
  133. 11:35 Was there anything unusual about the stolen box.
  134. 11:37 No, nothing at all.
  135. 11:39 I... I picked it up in the south of France, oh, several years ago.
  136. 11:43 You say you have many valuable music boxes.
  137. 11:46 The other thief made off is one that isn't worth five pounds.
  138. 11:49 Sounds like rather an intriguing little problem. Well, I take it that he was just an ordinary petty thief and didn't know the value.
  139. 11:55 That is a possible explanation yet I venture to say.
  140. 11:58 But the average petty thief has a more extensive knowledge of the value of object dar than the average collector.
  141. 12:03 Well, anyway, that's gotten the odds, dearie. They didn't get very excited about it.
  142. 12:07 That's consistent anyway.
  143. 12:09 I wonder if I might see your collection, Mr. Emery.
  144. 12:12 Oh, of course I think that, yes.
  145. 12:14 Nothing that the collector likes more than showing off his clothes.
  146. 12:17 Well, I'm not present.
  147. 12:20 Good.
  148. 12:20 My place is just round in Portland Square. Shall we? Yes, right.
  149. 12:28 Hello? Where are you going? Stinky hasn't had his tea yet. Oh, I'm sorry. We're going round to my place.
  150. 12:34 I'm going to give you something better than tea.
  151. 12:38 Now this one was made to row the 15th.
  152. 12:41 and is one of the very few still in existence from that period, and the particularly fine specimen set.
  153. 12:48 It's charming isn't it? Quite.
  154. 12:52 They all sound to me like a lot of mice running about on a tin roof. I'm afraid you have no ear for music, Watson. Give me a good old band playing a rousing march. You have all your silly little twig-tweets.
  155. 13:09 *whistling*
  156. 13:11 No room.
  157. 13:15 This way.
  158. 13:26 Stupid thing.
  159. 13:27 Singing rabbit.
  160. 13:30 for the out hand is the value of a box like that this room and I think we bring
  161. 13:35 About five or six hundred pounds today. It's the gem of my collection.
  162. 13:39 Yet a thief who steals an oddity like a musical box passes up one worth 500 pounds for one of almost no value at all.
  163. 13:46 Odd.
  164. 13:47 Hang on.
  165. 13:49 What are the stolen bucks like, Mr Emery? Oh, just a plain...
  166. 13:52 wooden box about so big. As a matter of fact, I have one over here almost exactly like it.
  167. 13:58 I picked this up yesterday at an auction room in Knightsbridge. It paid only £2 for it. Of course, I wouldn't in the ordinary way add one like this to my collection, but the, um, the tuning freed me. I'd never heard it before.
  168. 14:21 *sad music*
  169. 14:25 You have a remarkable ear for music, Hans. Rather an unusual melody. Sit down, Hans. Thanks.
  170. 14:36 You, uh, you see, you bought that box at an auction sale yesterday. Yes, the Gaylord auction rooms in, uh, Nice Ridge. Run by old, uh, what's his name?
  171. 14:45 Crantry.
  172. 14:46 That's not what time is the robbery committed.
  173. 14:49 About three o'clock this morning.
  174. 14:51 I
  175. 14:51 Unimus Emery.
  176. 14:53 That box in the robbery might well be cause and effect, especially since you save a stolen box.
  177. 14:58 I couldn't resemble this one a great deal.
  178. 15:00 And, uh...
  179. 15:01 Scott and Yard were not particularly interested, eh? Oh, yes, but I wouldn't blame him for that.
  180. 15:07 Especially as I told him I was quite unable to describe the thief.
  181. 15:09 Except, of course, for the fact that it was definitely a man. All you remember is that you came in here and someone struck you on the head. Yes, the next thing I knew, my man was trying to revive me. It might be wise for you to put that box away somewhere and lock it up. Oh, I don't think that's necessary.
  182. 15:22 Besides, everything's insurance.
  183. 15:24 Well, at least if any further attempts at robbery are made, I'd suggest that you call the police.
  184. 15:30 I wasn't running into any personal danger. Oh, Tom, aren't you being a bit of an alarmist? Possibly. Oh, Mr. Greer, you old stinky. Seems to me you are making rather mountain out of the Moleskir. Moles Hill is the word, old boy, and it's time you were in bed. Thanks so much for letting us see your place. Well, it's been good meeting you.
  185. 15:48 Well, they can't understand why he was so mysterious.
  186. 15:51 Seems to me that petty thief explanation is the only sensible one. Really? I can't see how you can believe it was anything else. I didn't say I believed it to be anything else. The petty thief theory is the obvious one, I grant you. However, it's often a mistake to accept something as true
  187. 16:04 merely because it's obvious. The truth has only arrived at by the painstaking process of eliminating the untrue.
  188. 16:13 We are not able to do that in this case.
  189. 16:15 Without further doubt, huh? Rubbish. You're pulling my leg.
  190. 16:18 You're trying to turn a...
  191. 16:20 A cut and a hapenny robbery into an international plot. No, I'm not. I just hope that your friend Stinky is a little more cautious in the future. Just in case.
  192. 16:42 *Dramatic music*
  193. 16:53 Hello?
  194. 16:54 Yeah?
  195. 16:56 Julian Emery here.
  196. 16:57 Who?
  197. 16:59 Why, of course I remember you, Mrs. Courtney.
  198. 17:04 Yes, you're the one bright spot at that affordingly dull affair of Lady Sampson.
  199. 17:10 Huh?
  200. 17:11 God's shouldn't do it, Clare.
  201. 17:13 Yes, I do.
  202. 17:15 The lighting of your drink.
  203. 17:17 I tell you what, come straight up and I'll leave the door unlit.
  204. 17:21 All right, that's what? 15 minutes?
  205. 17:23 Good.
  206. 17:25 I shall be counting each one.
  207. 17:27 No, I mean that, did it? Right, goodbye.
  208. 17:43 I
  209. 17:53 He startled me. Goodbye. Yes. Must be the pixie in me. I know I shouldn't have called you so late.
  210. 18:00 But I was at a party just around the corner. And I remembered your invitation to see your collection of musical boxes. My dear Mrs. Courtney,
  211. 18:07 The pleasure is all the greater for being so unexpected. My friends call me Hilda. Thanks. Mine call me Stinky. Stinky, how great.
  212. 18:16 Oh, a perfectly wonderful collection of musical battles. You know, when you told me you had a collection, I had no idea it was so attractive. Yes. They appealed to the ear,
  213. 18:26 As well as to the eye.
  214. 18:28 Oh, what a plain little one.
  215. 18:31 Why, it looks just like a country cousin amid all this grandeur. No, no, no, no, you won't underestimate the country cousin.
  216. 18:37 Only last night a burger broke in here. And with all these to choose from, went off with one very much like it. Really? Yes, I don't mind the loss of the box so much.
  217. 18:45 But I do, is that there's crack on the scalp. But it makes you look so interesting. Don't you think so? Uh-huh. It's funny, that's what old Fatso says. Fatso? I mean, uh, Dr. Watson.
  218. 18:54 He was here this evening with a friend, a Mr. Holmes.
  219. 18:57 He's interested in my collection too. Sherlock Holmes?
  220. 19:00 Yes, do you know him? I've heard of him.
  221. 19:03 Yes, he seems to think I'm in some sort of...
  222. 19:06 Danger. What a haunting tune. It takes me right back to my childhood.
  223. 19:10 You heard me? You know, it's odd that you should be interested in that particular musical box. Odd? Why? Because Mr. Holmes is also interested in it.
  224. 19:17 He may have been more interested in the tune than in the box.
  225. 19:21 I get you, that's right. I remember now.
  226. 19:24 He whistled it note for note, having heard it only once. Really?
  227. 19:27 He must be a remarkable man. It was an alarmist if you ask me.
  228. 19:31 Don't you believe in warning? Of course not. Could want a box like that.
  229. 19:37 I would.
  230. 19:38 You're not serious.
  231. 19:40 Oh, but I am.
  232. 19:41 You put me in a very awkward position.
  233. 19:44 I'm a collector, you know.
  234. 19:45 And the collector buys but never sells.
  235. 19:48 If the price were high enough. Price has nothing to do with it.
  236. 19:53 It's the principle of the deed.
  237. 19:56 Ha, ha.
  238. 19:57 Yes, well, we haven't had our drink.
  239. 20:03 Must you really?
  240. 20:04 I'm afraid so.
  241. 20:08 You're not walking out on me, are you?
  242. 20:10 My reputation.
  243. 20:12 Stinky.
  244. 20:14 I say, you know, you are an attractive woman.
  245. 20:25 You poor. I told you to wait outside.
  246. 20:28 What did you have to kill him for?
  247. 20:30 All I had to do was walk out with it. He held you in his arms. Don't touch him.
  248. 20:35 Don't touch anything. Now get out. - I'm sorry. - You're sorry? What about me? This is murder. What about Scotland Yard?
  249. 20:45 What about Sherlock Holmes?
  250. 20:48 Now get out!
  251. 20:50 I'm sorry.
  252. 21:16 Did you get it? Good. Did you have any trouble with you? Just a matter of murder.
  253. 21:31 - Ah, Mr. Holmes. - Hopkins.
  254. 21:33 Thanks for coming so promptly.
  255. 21:35 Inspector Mastraert suggested that I call through to you.
  256. 21:38 Mr. Emery was the client of Mr. Holmes, Inspector. Indeed.
  257. 21:41 You didn't mention that when I telephoned you, Mr. Holmes. Well, not exactly a clown, Inspector. I...
  258. 21:45 Sergeant Thompson?
  259. 21:46 He was killed between the hours of 11:00 and 2:00 this morning, Mr. Holmes.
  260. 21:52 Must have been someone he knew, someone of whom he had no suspicion.
  261. 21:56 Poor old stinky.
  262. 21:58 It's all my fault. I should have prevented this. Well, there's no time to start talking about that now, Doctor. Apparently it's gone.
  263. 22:06 That's the second attempt on the musical box that Emory bought the auction sale. And this time it was successful.
  264. 22:12 But that box is only worth two pounds. It's worth a man's life, Watson.
  265. 22:15 I think we'd better pay a visit the Gaylord's auction room and that fellow Crabtree. Inspector, may I suggest that you make a complete search of this flat for a small, plain,
  266. 22:24 Musical box about that size.
  267. 22:26 Thank you. Come on, Watson.
  268. 22:30 You say the first box went to Mr. Julian Emery.
  269. 22:32 Second, Mr. Kilgore, 143 B Hampton Way.
  270. 22:36 and the third to the unidentified young lady who presumably has a shop and lives in her Golders Green. That's right, Mr. Holmes. Isn't it rather strange, Mr. Crabtree?
  271. 22:44 It used to have had three identical musical boxes all playing the same tune. Where'd they come from? Dartmoor Prison.
  272. 22:49 Dartmoor? Yeah, we get a regular shipment from there every month.
  273. 22:52 the inmates manufacture them. They make all kinds of things, you know, pipe racks, waste paper baskets, musical boxes. Did you happen to notice
  274. 22:59 If anyone showed any particular interest during the auction...
  275. 23:02 And the purchasers of these three boxes?
  276. 23:06 Oh, come on, Mr. Crabtree.
  277. 23:08 This is very literally a matter of life and death.
  278. 23:10 Well, since you put it that way, Mr. Holmes,
  279. 23:12 There was a gentleman came in here about an hour after closing time, and he was in an awful state, he was.
  280. 23:19 He gave me five pounds to tell him where the boxers had gone to his head. They had a sentimental value for him, sir. Hmm, expensive sentiment.
  281. 23:25 Can you describe him? Tall, distinguished looking and he had...
  282. 23:28 Right here and the moustache. Oh, he's quite a gentleman, sir. Now, what was his reaction when you were unable to supply him
  283. 23:34 The address of the young lady who owned the shop.
  284. 23:36 I told him the young lady usually come back on Thursday. He said he'd come back on Thursday. Now, that's tomorrow.
  285. 23:41 Thank you, Mr. Cradbury. You've been very helpful. Thank you. Come along, Watson. Where are we going now, Holmes? We're going home by Mr. Kilgore. The man who bought the third box.
  286. 23:56 But hang it all, Holmes, how do you know those other two musical boxes are of any importance? I don't, but I certainly have no intention of waiting until the owners are murdered to find out.
  287. 24:06 No one at home.
  288. 24:07 I hope that's the explanation.
  289. 24:10 I'll have a look through this window.
  290. 24:17 There doesn't seem to be anyone there.
  291. 24:20 The place seems deserted as far as I can see.
  292. 24:24 Yes. Mr. and Mrs. Kilgore at home? No. When do you expect them?
  293. 24:28 Oh, Lynn and I were so...
  294. 24:30 There's no use your hanging about. They don't buy nothing from peddlers. Peddlers?
  295. 24:34 My good woman, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
  296. 24:36 Sherlock Holmes, go on. Do you mind if we come in and wait? My business is rather urgent. Well, I've got to go out and do my shopping.
  297. 24:45 And I don't know if Mrs. Kilgore would like any stranger's nosing about. Quite all right, I assure you.
  298. 24:50 Well, I've got to be off. It's too late in the parlour. And no smoking either.
  299. 24:55 Mrs. Kilgore says it smells up the out.
  300. 25:00 Funny old girl home.
  301. 25:11 I
  302. 25:20 Park Lane. Park Lane?
  303. 25:22 And what would the likes of you be doing in Park Lane? Now don't worry about the fairs, Ducky. If you know how to get to Park Lane, I'll bet.
  304. 25:34 You know, Holmes, I've been thinking.
  305. 25:37 There must have been something hidden in that box of old stinkers.
  306. 25:40 Stolen jewelry, Postler.
  307. 25:44 What's up, Holmes?
  308. 25:45 Listen.
  309. 25:48 What's this is, steam in the water pipes?
  310. 25:57 Watson!
  311. 26:00 Great Scott!
  312. 26:03 Come on, Hubs. Get on the chair here.
  313. 26:08 It's all right, my dear.
  314. 26:10 There, there, there. Now, don't worry.
  315. 26:14 It's all over.
  316. 26:16 There you are, you don't cry anymore. She tied me up and shut me in the cupboard. I know, I know.
  317. 26:23 She won't come back.
  318. 26:24 Did you show her your new musical box? Yes, she said she wanted to hear it play. And as soon as I showed it to her, she grabbed all of it. I know. Now, don't worry nobody. We'll buy you a new musical box. Yes, my dear. The best one in London.
  319. 26:38 Watson.
  320. 26:40 Oh, what a fool, what a fool I've been. What do you mean, Holmes? She took the musical box out of this house and that monkey basket. Right under our very noses.
  321. 26:48 Why could the Kilgore childwoman want to take the music box? She isn't a Kilgore childwoman. She's a consummate actress.
  322. 26:54 An extremely clever, unscrupulous woman that will stop at nothing. Take care of the child, will you, Wolf? I'll learn till her parents get back. Explain everything to them. Of course, sir, but...
  323. 27:02 Holmes!
  324. 27:03 Where are you going? Somewhere, somehow...
  325. 27:06 I must get to the young lady who bought that third musical box before our opponents find her.
  326. 27:10 I only hope that I won't be too late.
  327. 27:13 Oh no, no, no, no, darling, you mustn't cry anymore.
  328. 27:21 Now, Sheriff.
  329. 27:23 Would you...
  330. 27:23 Would you like to hear old uncle making noise like a duck?
  331. 27:33 - - Oh, sorry?
  332. 27:38 Hmph!
  333. 28:03 Now, ladies and gentlemen, how much am I offered for this beautiful lace Dresden China figurine?
  334. 28:09 A lady of the French court.
  335. 28:11 Now this is the genuine article.
  336. 28:15 What a beautiful ornament for your mantelpiece. Or you could use it as a centerpiece on the dining room table. Now, will somebody starve me for 10 pounds?
  337. 28:21 Somebody start me for ten pounds.
  338. 28:23 Eight pounds.
  339. 28:25 Certainly, Tom.
  340. 28:27 All right, five. Five pounds is up at five pounds is up at five pounds is up at five pounds ten.
  341. 28:31 Five pounds fifteen, five pounds fifteen.
  342. 28:34 Six pounds is offered, six pounds, six pounds, going once.
  343. 28:38 Going twice, the third and the last call will be all done. Sold to the lady from Twickenham for six pounds.
  344. 28:44 Next we have a real museum piece, ladies and gentlemen.
  345. 28:48 A fine 19th century law.
  346. 28:51 A costume and exact replica of the holiday clothes worn by the Hungarian peasant women.
  347. 28:55 Now, ladies and gentlemen,
  348. 28:57 An article like this would cost him from 15 to 20 pounds in a West End shop.
  349. 29:01 I'm not going to ask you for anything like that.
  350. 29:03 Give me two pounds for it.
  351. 29:04 Two pounds. Anybody offer me two pounds? Two pounds for the Hunkberry? Two pa...
  352. 29:08 One pound. What? Anybody give me one pound? Anybody offer me one pound for the doll? One pound is offered, ladies and gentlemen. One pound is offered.
  353. 29:15 Now I'm not going to waste your valuable time or mine.
  354. 29:18 in trying to get one half of what this beautiful doll is worth.
  355. 29:21 The young lady can steal it for one pound and a two a good fortune.
  356. 29:24 So it's going once, it's going twice, the third and last call.
  357. 29:27 Any more? Sold to the young lady for one pound.
  358. 29:31 And now, ladies and gentlemen, may I draw your attention to something which may be a great surprise to you, worthy of any collection.
  359. 29:37 The only other one like it is in the British Museum.
  360. 29:40 It's a Ming vase of the 7th dynasty.
  361. 29:43 This bulls lay in a large collection
  362. 29:46 somewhere outside Rome for over two centuries, I understand. It was discovered there by the noted antiquarian Sir Andrew Copleston.
  363. 29:53 Now, some of you may remember Sir Andrew Copleston.
  364. 29:55 Besides being a noted traveler and antiquarian, he's also a gentleman rider.
  365. 30:03 A girl with a parcel in her hands, that's her. Are you sure that's the girl?
  366. 30:09 She fits perfectly the auctioneer's description.
  367. 30:12 Follow her, Hamid.
  368. 30:19 I'm going to go.
  369. 30:47 I
  370. 30:50 It's lovely, dear. And only one pound.
  371. 30:53 We can get at least three for it. Easily.
  372. 30:56 I'll go make some tea. I could do with a cup. Right.
  373. 31:03 Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I'm looking for a birthday gift for a seven-year-old girl. What would you suggest? We have some lovely dolls. Now this Hungarian... I think she has enough dolls already.
  374. 31:13 Books are always welcome. Well, I'm looking for something a little different. That's rather cute. What is it?
  375. 31:20 Oh, that's a musical box.
  376. 31:21 Children always love them. Nessa's an exceptionally nice one. It plays many tunes.
  377. 31:34 - Have you any others? - Yes. If you'll just get this way. I have only two left.
  378. 31:43 Oh, nice. Are you sure that he's over here? I'm sorry. It's rather hard to find, you know, at the entire allotment.
  379. 31:57 I did have one other, but I sold it earlier this afternoon. But it was only a plain wooden one. It wouldn't have been a very nice gift for a child. Really?
  380. 32:05 Do you happen to know who the purchaser was?
  381. 32:09 Why, yes.
  382. 32:10 He left his card just in case anyone should inquire for him.
  383. 32:14 I
  384. 32:21 How interesting.
  385. 32:25 I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have to look a bit further.
  386. 32:27 Thank you anyway.
  387. 33:01 All of that can here now what got on job.
  388. 33:13 Sherlock Holmes. I might have known. We thought we were the hunters. Instead of which we're the hunted. We've been fools. We've played right into his hands. Of course. He's had a squallowed. Don't look. The man in front of the toy shop. Hummy, turn shop right at the next corner and again at the next.
  389. 33:46 No photograph of her, Commissioner. As I expected. She's not a known criminal.
  390. 33:51 But I expect to know if you do find out.
  391. 33:53 After all, she was disguised as a child. Don't worry, Althar.
  392. 33:57 If I ever see it again, I'll recognize her.
  393. 34:00 Well...
  394. 34:00 It won't be long till we know who they are and from where they operate.
  395. 34:04 Who's covering them?
  396. 34:05 Sergeant Thompson's following him, sir. They won't get away from him. He's a good man.
  397. 34:09 He could have arrested them at Clifford's toy shop if he had any proof.
  398. 34:12 But we know that they killed Emory.
  399. 34:14 Proof, my dear pillow. We must have proof.
  400. 34:19 We have x-rayed it, sir. There's nothing whatever concealed in the box. We'll have a look at the plates.
  401. 34:28 Hmm.
  402. 34:29 There must be some clue.
  403. 34:31 And it's probably been so obvious that we've all overlooked it.
  404. 34:34 Seems to me we're up against a bunch of lunatics.
  405. 34:38 Not lunatics, my dear fellow.
  406. 34:41 Extremely astute cold-blooded murderers.
  407. 34:43 What can these little musical boxes have in them so important?
  408. 34:46 Don't forget they were made in Dartmoor prison.
  409. 34:49 You can smuggle stuff into prison but not out.
  410. 34:52 You want us to break the box apart, sir, to see if there's anything the X-ray hasn't caught?
  411. 34:56 No, not yet.
  412. 34:57 Do you mind if I take it?
  413. 34:58 - Sit on me. - Thanks.
  414. 35:09 The governor of Darkmore Prison informed us, sir, in answer to Mr. Holmes's question, that all three musical boxes were made by the same convict.
  415. 35:17 John Davidson.
  416. 35:18 - Seven to seven year terms, sir. - Davidson?
  417. 35:20 - Bank of England, please. - That'll be all.
  418. 35:24 Now we're getting somewhere. Wait a minute.
  419. 35:28 How did you know about the plates, Mr. Holmes? I'm a student of crime, Inspector. I make it my business to know about such things. And when the name of Davidson was mentioned... Well, who is this fellow Davidson?
  420. 35:38 As long as Mr. Holmes seems to know all about it already,
  421. 35:40 I suppose there's no harm in telling you.
  422. 35:43 Yes.
  423. 35:44 Two years ago in London, there occurred a robbery of such tremendous importance.
  424. 35:50 Although the stolen articles themselves have no intrinsic value whatsoever.
  425. 35:53 that the Home Secretary was instrumental in seeing that not a word of it appeared in any newspaper.
  426. 35:57 But you never told me anything about this house?
  427. 36:01 You were away at the time.
  428. 36:02 Articles of no intrinsic value and yet of such importance.
  429. 36:06 I don't understand.
  430. 36:08 Davidson was apprehended within 15 minutes committing the theft.
  431. 36:12 But by that time,
  432. 36:13 He'd hidden the articles in question and they've yet to be found.
  433. 36:16 Before going further, Dr. Watson.
  434. 36:18 I must inform you that this matter is not to be mentioned outside of this room. Of course not. Do I look like a man who gossip?
  435. 36:24 Let's not go into that now, old fellow, shall we?
  436. 36:27 Davidson have been employed for years.
  437. 36:30 in a position of extreme trust,
  438. 36:32 By the engravings department of the Bank of England.
  439. 36:34 The articles he stole were nothing less
  440. 36:36 and a complete duplicate set of plates for printing five-pound notes.
  441. 36:40 What?
  442. 36:41 The back of England's own plates?
  443. 36:43 Precisely.
  444. 36:44 And with those plates a gang of crooks could flood England with five-pound notes
  445. 36:48 Not forged, in the usual sense of the word, but notes undetectable from genuine Bank of England notes in any way whatsoever.
  446. 36:55 Good heavens.
  447. 36:56 Any whisper at all might have resulted in enormous damage.
  448. 36:59 in seeking public confidence in the treasury. We tried everything after we arrested Davidson.
  449. 37:04 offered him a shorter sentence if he'd tell us where he'd hidden the plates.
  450. 37:07 He even put in Scotland's yard men with him as cellmates, but...
  451. 37:11 Numbers out.
  452. 37:12 Obviously Davidson is a man of strong character and infinite patience.
  453. 37:17 Yet suddenly he feels impelled.
  454. 37:19 to smuggle out the secret of the hiding place of a place to his confederates.
  455. 37:22 Why?
  456. 37:23 I don't understand, Mr. Holmes.
  457. 37:26 Well...
  458. 37:27 For example,
  459. 37:28 Has the Bank of England made any plans
  460. 37:30 to radically change the design of the five-pound notes so that it's a, uh,
  461. 37:34 Seven years from now, notes made from the stolen plates would be worthless.
  462. 37:38 Confidentially, Mr. Holmes.
  463. 37:40 Such a move was discussed.
  464. 37:42 But replacing all the five-pound notes in circulation would be such a Herculean task that...
  465. 37:46 Nothing's been done about it as yet.
  466. 37:48 I see.
  467. 37:49 Of course, there is another possible explanation.
  468. 37:52 Davidson didn't have much time to find a hiding place before he was captured.
  469. 37:55 You may be afraid
  470. 37:57 that the plates will be accidentally discovered before his release.
  471. 38:01 Hence his anxiety.
  472. 38:03 to communicate their whereabouts to this confederates as soon as possible.
  473. 38:07 I believe you hit it, Mr. Holmes.
  474. 38:09 I'm sure that the message is contained in this musical box.
  475. 38:14 Or rather, in all three musical boxes.
  476. 38:17 Since possession of all three seems to be essential...
  477. 38:19 Our opponents have two thirds of the puzzle, but we have one third.
  478. 38:23 Well, what are you going to do, Holmes?
  479. 38:25 Try to deduce the message from the one-third that we have.
  480. 39:08 It's the same tune as the one played by Emery's musical box.
  481. 39:12 Hmm.
  482. 39:14 And yet it's different.
  483. 39:16 Sounds the same to me.
  484. 39:17 the tune.
  485. 39:21 Somehow the tune is the key to the mystery.
  486. 39:26 It must be the tune.
  487. 39:28 Otherwise, why use three musical boxes to convey the message?
  488. 39:32 Why not collar boxes or shoe boxes?
  489. 39:36 Yes?
  490. 39:37 Oh.
  491. 39:41 Inspector Hopkins speaking.
  492. 39:45 What?
  493. 39:48 Where?
  494. 39:50 Golders Green Station reports they've just found Sergeant Thompson's body.
  495. 39:54 from the tire marks on his clothes.
  496. 39:56 Apparently run over that exit.
  497. 39:58 What an unfortunate accident.
  498. 40:01 Not an accident, my dear fellow.
  499. 40:04 I'm afraid it's murder.
  500. 40:06 Well, you never know just who you're going to meet. When you're walking down a busy London street, Mrs. Orchard, Mrs. Brown, any subject of the crowd. Well, you never know just who you're going to meet.
  501. 40:36 And...
  502. 40:37 Girls will see you're kind of sweet and your day will be complete. Oh, you never know just who you're going to meet.
  503. 40:46 Now a gentleman is judged by his appearance.
  504. 40:51 Yes, the gentleman is judged by how he calls. Now he's much better off when he's acting like a talk, especially if he's taking him a walk. What a mess is this outlandish place. A rendezvous factor.
  505. 41:10 - Back to you.
  506. 41:11 Voskers, old boy. You've seen him a thousand times.
  507. 41:15 Actors are entertained of queues, waiting outside theaters.
  508. 41:45 Blimey.
  509. 42:00 Mr. Owl.
  510. 42:02 - How are you, Joe? - Never second.
  511. 42:05 And yourself?
  512. 42:15 Yes, I cleared you of a most unpleasant charge. Murder, no less. What? By proving to the satisfaction of the police that he was busy at the time blowing open someone's safe.
  513. 42:23 - That's right, Gavner. - Good gracious me.
  514. 42:26 And you're...
  515. 42:28 Now you can help me.
  516. 42:31 Come on, buzzer, buzzer.
  517. 42:32 Come on, lop it! Stop it! Can't a gentleman have some peace and quiet around here?
  518. 42:39 And you too.
  519. 42:43 There you are, Mr. Helms.
  520. 42:44 Now we can have some peace and quiet around here.
  521. 42:46 Thank you, Joe.
  522. 42:47 There's five pounds of this for you.
  523. 42:49 Well, I wouldn't want to take it on meself, sir.
  524. 42:52 But I can get somebody to do it for you for half of that. You don't know what the job is yet.
  525. 42:56 For five pounds?
  526. 42:57 Murder, ain't it?
  527. 42:59 What? No, John, not matter, just music.
  528. 43:02 I want you to identify a song for me. Oh, there ain't a song that's been written that I don't know. That's why I can't joke.
  529. 43:08 Of course, the violin is more my instrument, but, um...
  530. 43:11 Oh well, here we go. Now listen to this, Joe.
  531. 43:20 Wait a minute.
  532. 43:21 You're playing that wrong.
  533. 43:22 That should be E natural, not E flat.
  534. 43:25 You know the song? Oh, yes. It's an old Australian song called, uh...
  535. 43:29 The swag man.
  536. 43:30 But you're playing it all wrong. That's what I hoped you'd say. Now listen again Joe.
  537. 43:34 I'm not sure.
  538. 43:40 Quite the same tune, all right.
  539. 43:42 but you're making different mistakes than you did the first time. No, not mistakes, Joe. Call them variations. Here, play this one for me. We know the way it's written.
  540. 44:11 Hey, huh?
  541. 44:12 Thank you, Joe.
  542. 44:13 What does it mean, Holmes?
  543. 44:16 You want to do something?
  544. 44:17 Perhaps...
  545. 44:18 I don't know yet.
  546. 44:20 It's probably a code of some sort.
  547. 44:23 Joe.
  548. 44:26 Could you write the song down for me?
  549. 44:28 The way it was originally written? Oh sure, Miss Downs. But it'll take a few minutes.
  550. 44:33 Here, lay him up.
  551. 44:36 Pele!
  552. 44:37 Come on, off to it. Along with it.
  553. 44:50 Well, obviously it isn't the lyrics. No combination of those words made any sense at all. The variations in the way Emery's musical box played the tune are different from the variations in the one we have.
  554. 45:01 You sure? Quite.
  555. 45:03 You see, I took the trouble to memorize the tune as played by Emery's box...
  556. 45:07 That night we were with him at his wedding. Oh, you amaze me. Elementary, my dear fellow. One of the first principles in solving crime...
  557. 45:13 is never to disregard anything, no matter how trivial.
  558. 45:16 Why are there three boxes? Why not one?
  559. 45:18 Because the message was obviously too long to be conveyed by any one variation.
  560. 45:23 Then there's the third box.
  561. 45:26 The one that woman took from the Kilgars.
  562. 45:28 That contains yet another set of variations.
  563. 45:31 Yes, sir, it's all beyond me.
  564. 45:34 Well, all we have to do now is to find the secret of the variations. Not a very easy problem to solve, my dear fellow.
  565. 45:45 Hello. What's up?
  566. 45:50 We've had company.
  567. 45:56 I say, this is outrageous.
  568. 46:02 Ask Mrs. Hudson to come in here, will you?
  569. 46:04 Right.
  570. 46:07 Mr. Ferguson!
  571. 46:13 Yes?
  572. 46:14 Oh, there you are. Will you come up here at once, please?
  573. 46:17 I'm coming, sir.
  574. 46:33 Merci, Mr. Holmes.
  575. 46:35 What has happened?
  576. 46:37 Who called while we were out, Mrs. Hudson? Just a young lady. The one who said you wanted her to wait for you. - And a nice-looking old gentleman with her. - Our friends again, Watson? Friends?
  577. 46:46 What does the young lady look like?
  578. 46:48 Oh, I couldn't see a fish. It had a heavy black veil on.
  579. 46:52 But she had such a nice way with her.
  580. 46:55 Oh, uh...
  581. 46:56 I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes, if I've done anything wrong.
  582. 47:00 But you did see I asked your dog to let clients come in and wait for you.
  583. 47:04 Don't worry, Mrs. Hudson, don't worry. You had no way of knowing.
  584. 47:07 It's quite all right, quite all right. Now, don't worry, Mrs. Hudson.
  585. 47:13 Don't worry. Where on earth's the musical box?
  586. 47:18 They didn't get it.
  587. 47:20 Get it?
  588. 47:21 Where is it?
  589. 47:22 It's in your hand.
  590. 47:25 Now, just a jar.
  591. 47:29 Take the biscuits off the top.
  592. 47:33 Now put your hand inside and you'll find the music box.
  593. 47:38 Well done, Holmes. Well done. Amazing.
  594. 48:02 Phew, nice fresh smell.
  595. 48:05 At the pub after closing time.
  596. 48:07 Hmph.
  597. 48:13 Mr. Holmes!
  598. 48:14 Come on.
  599. 48:16 It's morning.
  600. 48:17 Allow me to congratulate you on a brilliant bit of deduction.
  601. 48:28 It's not a transposition, not a polygraph transposition, not a trigraph.
  602. 48:33 nor any known form of decoding. How about the Morse code? Have you tried that?
  603. 48:37 Yes, at about three o'clock this morning. I'm sorry, old man, I was only trying to help.
  604. 48:58 Oh, do me a favor. Not again. Must have heard that thing a thousand times.
  605. 49:03 Get me awake all night.
  606. 49:11 Not a very distinguished composition, I grant you.
  607. 49:14 Personally, well, I don't know one tune from the other.
  608. 49:17 When I was a kid, my people tried to have me taught the piano.
  609. 49:20 I've always felt sorry for that old teacher of mine.
  610. 49:23 The poor old girl finally reached the point of...
  611. 49:25 Numbering of the keys for me. One, two, three, four... Even then I never progressed beyond...
  612. 49:30 Numbering the keys, Watson.
  613. 49:32 The 19th?
  614. 49:33 Key of the keyboard?
  615. 49:35 is the 19th letter of the alphabet.
  616. 49:37 Yes, here. Now, get down with my little old fellow, will you?
  617. 49:43 First altered note.
  618. 49:44 Right S first.
  619. 49:46 Now, the eight...
  620. 49:47 A key...
  621. 49:48 Yes.
  622. 49:49 H
  623. 49:51 Fiskey E.
  624. 49:55 The 12th key
  625. 49:57 Hello?
  626. 49:58 The sixth key, F.
  627. 50:00 S-H-E-L-F?
  628. 50:03 Shelf.
  629. 50:04 Your piano lessons were not in vain, old fellow. You've solved it. Thank you.
  630. 50:10 Thanks, O'Beaton. Hold this.
  631. 50:13 Ha!
  632. 50:14 We now have two thirds of the message behind books.
  633. 50:18 Third shelf, Secretary Dr. S.
  634. 50:24 Presumably.
  635. 50:26 These are the first and second portions of the message.
  636. 50:29 And this gang has the first and third parts of it. Precisely.
  637. 50:32 Then it's a stalemate? Yes, Commissioner, but you can't leave it like that.
  638. 50:36 There's no doubt in my mind that they'll try to secure our third of the message that's missing. Well, I assume you've taken every precaution to guard the Clifford music. Oh, yes, it's carefully hidden at Baker Street with Dr. Watson on guard. However, I'm reasonably certain that, uh,
  639. 50:48 Difficult as it may be, we can find the plates
  640. 50:51 even without the missing part of the message.
  641. 50:53 Behind books, third shelf secretary, Dr. S.
  642. 50:59 Outside of the fact that Davidson hid the Bank of England plate somewhere in London, Mr. Holmes, I don't see that we've progressed at all. Allow me to point out to you, sir.
  643. 51:07 Keywords
  644. 51:09 Dr. S.
  645. 51:11 It looks as if the plates were hidden in the house of the doctor.
  646. 51:14 Whether S stands for his first or last initial remains to be determined by process of elimination.
  647. 51:19 Well, there must be 10,000 doctors in London with "S" for a first or last initial.
  648. 51:24 Precisely.
  649. 51:25 and every one of them will have to be questioned in person.
  650. 51:28 That's why I say this is a task for Scotland Yard.
  651. 51:31 It's a task, all right.
  652. 51:32 But Scotland Yard has searched worse haste decks and found a needle.
  653. 51:36 Well, for the time being...
  654. 51:38 I'll leave the map in your hands, gentlemen.
  655. 51:40 We'll call you if and when we get a lead on our mysterious Dr. Earth.
  656. 51:45 In the meantime, I intend to follow up a little clue concerning a cigarette.
  657. 51:55 Mm.
  658. 51:56 You are certain of the identification of the tobacco?
  659. 51:59 Absolutely.
  660. 52:00 I have made up this special blend for only three customers.
  661. 52:04 It is almost pure Egyptian with admixture of Latakia
  662. 52:09 for added body.
  663. 52:11 and a pinch of perique.
  664. 52:13 merely a whisper, as one might say.
  665. 52:15 For elusive fragrance. Yes, yes. And the three customers...
  666. 52:20 Major Wilson in Bombay, India.
  667. 52:24 Mrs Catherine Leamington Smith in Ireland
  668. 52:27 Yes, I'm the third.
  669. 52:28 Mrs. Hilda Courtney.
  670. 52:31 of Park Mansions, Bryanston Square. Thank you. Thank you very much. You've been most helpful. It is a pleasure to have been of service, Mr. Holmes.
  671. 52:47 Huh?
  672. 52:48 Yes.
  673. 52:49 Mrs. Cockney?
  674. 52:51 Yes.
  675. 52:52 - My name is Sherlock Holmes. - Do come in. Thank you.
  676. 52:56 I've heard of you, of course, Mr. Holmes.
  677. 53:00 I believe we have a mutual friend in St. Edward Brookdale.
  678. 53:03 - He's spoken to me of you quite often. - Indeed.
  679. 53:09 And to what good fortune am I indebted for this visit?
  680. 53:13 I think you know, Mrs. Courtney. Well, I did get a summons for speeding last week. But outside of that, I don't think I'm of any interest to the police.
  681. 53:22 Oh, come now, Mrs. Cortnett.
  682. 53:23 You seem to forget that you and I have met before.
  683. 53:26 I'm sorry.
  684. 53:27 I'm sure I would have remembered meeting the great Sherlock Holmes.
  685. 53:31 - Please sit down. - Thank you.
  686. 53:33 You say we met before. Yes.
  687. 53:37 At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kilgore, 143 B Hampton Road.
  688. 53:42 Kilgore.
  689. 53:43 I don't think I know anyone of that name.
  690. 53:47 I didn't say you knew them.
  691. 53:49 As a matter of fact, you called on them when they were out.
  692. 53:52 I don't understand, Mr. Holmes.
  693. 53:55 Really?
  694. 53:56 You were dressed rather differently.
  695. 53:58 Indeed.
  696. 54:00 Cigarette?
  697. 54:21 You know, Mrs. Cockney, people generally forget in assuming a disguise.
  698. 54:26 But the shape of the ear is an almost infallible means of recognition and identification to the trained eye.
  699. 54:32 Evidently you've mistaken me for someone else. Oh, no, not at all. Though naturally I expected your denial.
  700. 54:39 that when you paid your visit to my rooms at Baker Street,
  701. 54:42 You've carelessly left behind
  702. 54:44 Another identification
  703. 54:47 And, uh...
  704. 54:50 Now don't you go out there.
  705. 54:51 Yes, I must admit they are.
  706. 54:54 You see, Mr. Holmes, to catch one as clever as you, I had to use a very special lure.
  707. 54:59 I knew you'd be unable to resist the bait of my cigarettes.
  708. 55:02 Having read with great interest your monograph on the ashes of 140 different varieties of tobacco.
  709. 55:08 I should advise you not to move, Mr. Holmes.
  710. 55:13 I must congratulate you on your ingenuity, Mrs. Courtney.
  711. 55:16 It was indeed a brilliantly designed trap.
  712. 55:19 Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
  713. 55:20 Praise from a master is indeed gratifying.
  714. 55:23 I shall always cherish the memory of your flattering words.
  715. 55:28 Memory?
  716. 55:30 Precisely.
  717. 55:31 I'm afraid these gentlemen have a most regrettable task to perform.
  718. 55:35 Unless, of course, you care to
  719. 55:37 Turn over the missing musical box with your pledge to take no action against us in the future.
  720. 55:44 I'm afraid that will be impossible.
  721. 55:46 I thought that would be your answer. Hamid! Careful! Careful!
  722. 55:50 Be careful.
  723. 55:51 There's no need to be unnecessarily rough with our distinguished guests. You realize, Mr. Holmes, that your demise will not take place here, the...
  724. 56:01 Corpus Delecti, you know. Well, naturally.
  725. 56:04 Shall we go?
  726. 56:07 So fearfully awkward having a dead body lying about...
  727. 56:11 Don't you agree, Mr. Holmes? Another dead body shouldn't weigh too heavily on your conscience, Mrs. Courtney.
  728. 56:25 Mind if I have a cigarette?
  729. 56:28 I don't see why not.
  730. 56:42 Be careful, Hamid. It's the brakes I find.
  731. 56:49 Thank you, Colonel Kavanagh. It's very considerate of you.
  732. 57:00 I'm going to go.
  733. 57:23 You'll be happy to know, Mr. Holmes, that your death will be a painless one.
  734. 57:29 I need it.
  735. 57:31 Attach this to the motor of a taxi.
  736. 57:37 That little attachment, my dear Mr. Holmes, contains the deadly fluid known as monosulfry. The Germans use it with gratifying results in removing their...
  737. 57:47 Undesirable.
  738. 57:53 Start the motor.
  739. 58:17 Take his mouth.
  740. 58:27 Up with him, Hamid.
  741. 58:38 You find yourself like Mohammed's coffin, Mr. Holmes. Suspended between heaven and earth.
  742. 58:52 Plenty of fuel in the tank.
  743. 58:57 to have anything go wrong through so simple an oversight.
  744. 1:00:03 Hmm?
  745. 1:00:04 - I understand.
  746. 1:00:11 Good afternoon. - Mr. Sherlock Holmes? No, I'm Dr. Watson. - Of course, Dr. Watson.
  747. 1:00:18 - How stupid of me. - Oh, stupid of me.
  748. 1:00:22 Won't you come in? Well, I really came to see Mr. Holmes. Oh, I'm afraid he's out. I don't know when he'll be back.
  749. 1:00:28 Perhaps there's something I can do.
  750. 1:00:30 Won't you sit down?
  751. 1:00:31 Thank you. You know...
  752. 1:00:33 Sherlock Holmes and I have been engaged on a great many cases. - Really? - Yes, indeed.
  753. 1:00:39 As a matter of fact, this very moment we're involved in one of the most baffling...
  754. 1:00:44 Won't you tell me you're trouble? I may be able to help you. That's very kind of you, Dr. Watson. Perhaps...
  755. 1:00:51 If I wouldn't be imposing too much. Imposing? Oh, there's no imposition, no imposition at all. A pleasure, I assure you now.
  756. 1:00:58 Tell me all about it, Miss...
  757. 1:01:00 - Miss Williams. - Miss Williams, yes.
  758. 1:01:02 I live in Surrey, Dr. Watson, and I've come up to London in sheer desperation.
  759. 1:01:06 My only sister has disappeared and the local police seem utterly unable to find her. Well, Holmes and I have solved a case exactly like that once.
  760. 1:01:13 Very interesting as far as I remember. I call it the...
  761. 1:01:17 The adventure of the solitary psychiatrist. Oh, sorry?
  762. 1:01:21 Now, come to think of it, it wasn't so very similar.
  763. 1:01:24 It's entirely different, I think, than what I was saying. Uh-oh. Where were we?
  764. 1:01:29 She's only 17, Dr. Watson, and until she disappeared last Thursday, she...
  765. 1:01:35 It seems to be in the best of spirits.
  766. 1:01:37 possibly a
  767. 1:01:39 - Romantic entanglement? - Oh, no, no, nothing of the sort.
  768. 1:01:42 She left no note.
  769. 1:01:43 Didn't even pack a bag, no explanation. She just started to walk to the village from our house in broad daylight and...
  770. 1:01:50 Simply banished from the face of you. Oh, there, there, there, there.
  771. 1:01:55 - Might I have a glass of water? - A glass of water. A glass of water. One minute.
  772. 1:02:00 I'm going to go.
  773. 1:02:15 Amen.
  774. 1:02:16 Amen.
  775. 1:02:31 There you are, my dear. Thank you, Dr. Watson. No, no, no, you're not to cry anymore. You must pull yourself together. I feel much better already knowing that you're going to help me. Oh, Dr. Watson, look! Good heavens!
  776. 1:02:45 Oh, God!
  777. 1:02:47 Get through, get through the fire brigade, quickly.
  778. 1:02:54 Haven't you a fire extinguisher? By going, we haven't again.
  779. 1:03:17 Don't you worry Miss Williams, we'll have this thing out in no time.
  780. 1:03:33 Ah, I've got it.
  781. 1:03:39 It's a bear.
  782. 1:03:41 Well, you see, there was no need for the fire brigade after all.
  783. 1:03:46 I hope you weren't too frightened, Miss Williams.
  784. 1:03:49 Ah.
  785. 1:03:52 Go on.
  786. 1:03:54 It's a troubled wound.
  787. 1:03:55 They always lose their heads in an emergency.
  788. 1:03:58 Huh.
  789. 1:04:01 Well...
  790. 1:04:06 A music box.
  791. 1:04:10 Great Scott!
  792. 1:04:15 Miss Williams!
  793. 1:04:23 Well?
  794. 1:04:25 Good.
  795. 1:04:26 And Holmes?
  796. 1:04:27 By now, Mr. Holmes has no doubt exchanged his violin for a half.
  797. 1:04:31 Always assuming that heaven is his destination.
  798. 1:04:36 And now that we have the missing musical box...
  799. 1:04:49 Nineteenth note. Nineteenth note. Nineteenth letter. Nineteenth... S.
  800. 1:05:01 You haven't been there, you said?
  801. 1:05:03 Holmes, where on earth have you been?
  802. 1:05:05 I've been trying to get you to the club, the Scotland Yard, all over London.
  803. 1:05:11 You were looking for me in the wrong places.
  804. 1:05:13 Terrible things happened.
  805. 1:05:15 I've been duped.
  806. 1:05:16 That woman...
  807. 1:05:18 - She made a complete fool of me. - What do you mean?
  808. 1:05:20 Well, she came here and let off a smoke bomb. I thought the whole place was on fire, and my first thought was to...
  809. 1:05:25 - To save the musical box. - No need to say anymore.
  810. 1:05:28 She has the box.
  811. 1:05:29 Mm-hmm.
  812. 1:05:31 Don't blame yourself too much, old fellow.
  813. 1:05:35 He's an extremely clever antagonist.
  814. 1:05:40 Smoke bomb, he said.
  815. 1:05:42 Oh, ho, ho, ho.
  816. 1:05:44 Well, you can console yourself with the thought...
  817. 1:05:48 that your charming friend is at least a reader of yours.
  818. 1:05:50 What do you mean?
  819. 1:05:51 If I remember correctly,
  820. 1:05:53 You wrote about my little experiment with the smoke and the cry of fire and a story you entitled...
  821. 1:05:57 A scandal in Bohemia which has just appeared in the Strand magazine.
  822. 1:06:00 All right, all right, old boy. Don't rub it in.
  823. 1:06:05 But it may turn you up to know that you made a fool of me too.
  824. 1:06:07 All right.
  825. 1:06:09 That cigarette stub.
  826. 1:06:11 It was planted here for one express purpose.
  827. 1:06:14 We got a bandaging around this place. Baringer? What's the matter, Holmes? You hurt? The explanations will have to wait until later. At the moment we're faced with a problem.
  828. 1:06:23 which I fear is insurmountable. - Come over here, old boy, will you? - Right.
  829. 1:06:29 Our opponents are in possession of all three parts of the code. And here are we while the Bank of England plates
  830. 1:06:34 Pass into their possession. Cheer up, old fellow, cheer up.
  831. 1:06:38 As Dr. Samuel Johnson once said, there's no problem the mind of man can set.
  832. 1:06:42 that the mind of man cannot solve.
  833. 1:06:45 - What's that all for? - I was just quoting Dr. Samuel Johnson.
  834. 1:06:48 - He said there is no... - Thank you, Watson. Thank you.
  835. 1:06:50 Huh?
  836. 1:06:54 Leaving the front reception room, we come into the main hall
  837. 1:06:58 Where Dr. Johnson was in the habit of passing through,
  838. 1:07:01 to have his meager meals in the dining room opposite.
  839. 1:07:04 in company with his friend and biographer,
  840. 1:07:07 James Boswell.
  841. 1:07:09 We will now pass up the stairway.
  842. 1:07:11 which remains in its natural wood finish.
  843. 1:07:14 Just as it was when the good doctor was here.
  844. 1:07:17 The frame ditching on the wall
  845. 1:07:19 is believed to have been presented to Dr. Johnson...
  846. 1:07:22 by the distinguished painter, Sir Joshua Reynolds.
  847. 1:07:26 I...
  848. 1:07:26 told here that that picture was given him by mrs thrale and it's definitely not a reno
  849. 1:07:32 Is that important, my dear?
  850. 1:07:35 Oh, I'm sorry.
  851. 1:07:37 This way ladies and gentlemen, please, this way. Move along children, move along.
  852. 1:07:43 The secretary's not on this floor. Patience Hamid. I have a feeling that... My dear Colonel, with Sherlock Holmes out of the way, what could go wrong?
  853. 1:07:59 And here we have the Gallet Library, in which Dr. Johnson wrote his famous dictionary.
  854. 1:08:05 Any which you will see also.
  855. 1:08:07 Many of the great man's books and other items of interest.
  856. 1:08:10 Step forward leaders and gentlemen, please step forward.
  857. 1:08:14 Standing in the corner is the secretary.
  858. 1:08:16 which contains many of the original works by the literary genius.
  859. 1:08:20 On this table, Dr. Johnson's cat, Hodge, used to sleep while his master worked. A strange thing about this cat, ladies and gentlemen,
  860. 1:08:28 was its love of oysters.
  861. 1:08:31 They do say that the dear Dr. Austin went hungry.
  862. 1:08:33 to find the cat that delicacy.
  863. 1:08:36 What a pity
  864. 1:08:38 Now we will visit the green room which is immediately below us, in which you will see the very bed in which Dr. Johnson died.
  865. 1:08:46 What did he die of?
  866. 1:08:48 Get out.
  867. 1:08:50 Just count.
  868. 1:08:52 This way, ladies and gentlemen. Mind the steps, please.
  869. 1:09:01 I'm going to go.
  870. 1:09:08 Your keys.
  871. 1:09:25 Third shelf up.
  872. 1:09:33 Good night.
  873. 1:09:41 The Bank of England plates.
  874. 1:09:45 Well, Mrs. Courtney, so we meet again. No, I shouldn't do that if I be Colonel Catmour. I must congratulate you, Mr. Holmes. You're far more clever than I thought.
  875. 1:09:58 Thank you, Mrs. Courtney.
  876. 1:10:00 Praise from you is indeed gratifying.
  877. 1:10:32 We must see that he looks his best, you know, when he's hanged.
  878. 1:10:35 Take them in charge.
  879. 1:10:53 A brilliant antagonist.
  880. 1:10:55 It's a pity her talents were so misdirected.
  881. 1:10:58 Will you see that these plates are returned to the Bank of England, Inspector? I still don't understand how you solved it, Mr. Hale. It's entirely due to Dr. Watson.
  882. 1:11:06 He gave me the clue when he mentioned Dr. Samuel Johnson.
