THE CUNNINGHAM INHERITANCE CASE

The city we consider as our home...

...is never so attractive like when we came back...

...after having spent for a long time...

...and a difficult situation in another place in the world.

My name is Dr. John Watson.

I was in the Army and I was wounded in Afghanistan.

When they gave me of the Army, I had...

...specific instructions to take a break.

The view of London reminded us of other times.

While I was walking the known streets of London...

...I never would have suspected...

...than a casual presentation...

...I was going to immerse myself in the darkest part of the world. amazing adventure...

...of my whole life.

Hello, Stamford.

Watson! Old friend.

How have you been? It's good to see you again.

As much as I'm glad to see you.

You look great, man.

I heard you got hurt.

Well, it could have been worse.

- Have a seat. - Thank you. [Chuckles]

- Have a drink? - Okay. [Chuckles]

Well, what are your plans now?

Well, nothing in particular.

I'm looking for accommodation.

Trying to resolve the old problem to find...

...a room at the end of the room. a reasonable price.

It's funny...

...you're the second man to use that expression today.

- Really? I'm sorry. - Who's this guy?

You haven't heard from him.

He's doing some work like at the hospital.

But it's interesting.

Yeah, maybe we could...

...share an apartment.

If that's all right with you.

Is there a problem?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's kind of weird.

What's wrong with him?

Nothing wrong with Holmes, that's his name...

Sherlock Holmes.

When I saw him this morning...

...was doing an investigation with a body.

What was he doing?

I was hitting him with a stick.

I beg your pardon?

- Did you call, sir? - Two glasses of sherry, please.

Very well, sir.

What did you say was doing this...

Sherlock Holmes?

He was hitting a body with a stick.

What the hell would he do that for?

I wanted to find out if it was possible...

...to leave bruises on a body after death.

For what purpose?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Did you ask him?

That's also strange in Holmes...

...somehow...

it's hard for you to ask him.

It works, it really works.

You realize that you are facing...

...one of the greatest forensic discoveries.

Are you Dr. Watson?

Yes, I do.

What works?

The hemoglobin test.

He realizes what he's doing. means, doesn't it?

No, I don't.

You must be Sherlock Holmes...

It will produce a revolution in the criminal investigation.

Yes, this is Holmes.

How did you know I was Watson?

Because he just to return from Afghanistan.

- How do you do? - How do you do?

How did you know I just got back from Afghanistan?

Well, that's obvious.

The problem is when a man is suspicious...

...of a crime, and it's not known whether he committed it.

Blood stains are found...

...and you can't be sure if they are blood stains...

...or rust.

This reagent solves everything The matter, of course.

Of course I do.

Of course I do.

Stamford told me that you wanted share...

...an apartment I had found.

You know one thing, if this test had been had a year ago...

...would have incriminated Von Bishop...

...and certainly they would have hung him up.

And, of course, Branford, Muller and Orfei.

Naturally.

Who are these people?

Nice to meet you, Watson.

I think the apartment you will like...

...is located on Baker Street.

If you want, we can go see him.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Well, do you mind if they play the violin?

No, knock if you want.

I don't mean now, I mean when...

...let's share the apartment.

Oh, of course not. it bothers me, on the contrary...

...I like good music.

Well, I play pretty well.

- Tell me, Holmes. - Yes...

How did you know I had just arrived from Afghanistan?

That's obvious.

That's what you said before.

From what I knew, you're a doctor.

With a certain military air.

Therefore it must be an Army doctor.

He's got a tan tone.

I know it's not your natural color, because her dolls...

...are white.

From your eyes I noticed that recently he was sick.

I thought it might be some kind of tropical fever.

His left arm is somewhat stiff...

...as if he had a wound.

Now the problem begins...

...where an Army doctor contracted fever...

...and he was also wounded.

The answer, my dear Watson is...

...in the Afghanistan campaign, naturally.

Naturally.

It's obvious, of course.

Naturally.

That afternoon we went to see the rooms of the street...

...Baker 221 B.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

...and we moved in. the next day.

Something disappointed me. of Sherlock Holmes...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

...in the first 24 hours.

But the man had a fantastic power of observation...

...along with a unpredictable personality...

...never seen before.

What had me in a state of constant surprise...

...when he wasn't impacted.

The things I knew were unbelievable...

...and also the things I didn't know.

Oh, seriously, my dear Holmes, you're not going to tell me...

...who didn't know the Earth was moving. around the Sun?

Really? I'm sorry. But everything schoolboy knows it.

Well, now I know that, too.

I'll try to forget it right away.

But why?

Yes, why...

...why should I remember?

Because it's a natural phenomenon.

But is it important? Does it affect us?

If you were to tell me that the land revolves around the moon...

...it wouldn't make any difference to me. in my lifestyle?

Well, if you put it that way.

No.

So it's a piece of information is of no use to me.

I'll try to make the biggest effort to forget it.

I advise you to you do the same.

Sometimes I thought the man was joking...

...and that you only get to know each other. was having fun at my expense.

But I soon learned that was completely honest.

I also noticed...

...who had very specific knowledge.

Literature... none.

Philosophy... none.

Astronomy... none.

Politics... some.

Botany...

...knew everything there was to know. about poisons.

And nothing at all of practical gardening.

Chemistry...deep knowledge.

Sensationalist literature...

...without a doubt, Sherlock Holmes. knew the details...

...of every crime perpetrated in the last hundred years.

I think we have a visitor.

Really? I'm sorry.

- What kind? - A man.

From what I see, he's a sergeant. retired from the marines.

How do you know the man?

I don't know him.

Well in that case...

...is one of the most important deductions I've ever made. I've ever heard.

How can you guess what a...

...retired Marine sergeant. without having seen it?

My dear Watson, I don't guess...

...is a calculated deduction.

Yeah, he's coming here.

Would you mind...

...if I ask you what your profession is?

No, of course not.

Where would I have put the case of my violin?

I think I saw him here.

My old friend.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

Excuse me, gentlemen, I have a message...

...for Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

Thank you. [Chuckles]

Excuse me...

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Would you mind telling me What do you do?

Not at all, sir...

I'm a civilian employee. who works in the...

...at the Police Department.

Thank you. [Chuckles]

That's all I wanted to know.

You're welcome, sir.

How long has it been is in the police department?

Only a year ago, sir. It used to be a...

...sergeant of the Marines.

Good morning, gentlemen.

How could he have known?

An interesting letter, Watson...

...a very interesting letter.

Would you like to come with me?

Where to?

To catch a murderer, of course.

Of course I do.

How did you know that man was a sergeant...

...retired from the Marines?

Who's that?

The police messenger.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

A retired Marine sergeant.

That's what I said.

There's nothing mysterious about that observation, my dear Watson.

But unfortunately when I explain it to you...

...will disappear. the magic of mystery.

My decision was based in observation...

...and logical deduction.

The man had an anchor large tattooed...

on the back of his hand.

This was visible from my window.

I admit I didn't. I noticed at the time...

but now that you mention it, I think there was an anchor.

Oh, there was.

He also used the regulatory sideburns...

...and a slight martial air.

That's why I said he was a Marine.

I'm thankful you've given me I said I guessed...

...but this is what I do every day.

Try to do it, Watson...

...try your own power of observation.

We're going to a place where it's gives the perfect situation.

Ah, where are we going?

To a house where there's a murdered man.

Are you inside Inspector Lestrade?

Yes, sir, can you tell me your name please?

Yes, Sherlock Holmes. is Dr. Watson.

All right, sir...

...Inspector Lestrade gave us instructions...

- ...to let him in. - Okay. [Chuckles]

By the way...

... Have they moved the body?

No, sir, but the coroner just left.

Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you.

I hope you haven't touched the scene too much.

The police force...

...is an organized science with messages.

I wouldn't say that, Holmes.

Let's go, everybody, there's no nothing to see today.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I swear I don't know.

I tried to help him.

You don't believe me?

I had to do what I could, was instinctive.

Instinctive like you to commit murder.

It's not true, you knows it's not true.

I know you hate me.

How can you believe that I did it?

Yes, I can, and I believe it.

Please, please, please, please.

She's a murderer.

You know it like I do.

She murdered your brother.

It's a lie.

Yeah, it's a lie.

Your whole story is a lie.

The relationship you had with my son was a lie.

My son was murdered.

Here's the killer.

Why did you do it? Your motive...

I don't know.

The engagement had my blessing.

I should be grateful.

He didn't get anything, but crime.

Now your duty is to condemn her.

One moment, please.

Look at the angle of incision, Watson.

Yes, I do.

It was forced.

The knife penetrated the chest.

How long do you estimate you lost the conscience?

It's hard to say.

Five seconds.

Eight.

- Between the two of us. - I can see that.

Death?

Short time, sir.

Three minutes?

I'd say three or four minutes.

Thank you, Watson.

You can take him.

Oh, sorry to interrupt.

I would have preferred to come before they moved the body.

I thought he was going to be of interest, Holmes.

Thank you, Lestrade.

I'd like you to meet my friend, Dr. Watson.

Inspector Lestrade, of Scotland Yard.

- How do you do? - How do you do?

So he's completely stagnant, Lestrade.

What does that mean?

He thought he'd be interested...

... Why don't you admit it...

He's in a jam.

There's something strange. Don't you think?

What you just said no is absolutely true, Holmes.

I made some mistakes, but this is a interesting case.

Of course there are one or two details inexplicable...

...but I don't think...

What's the main problem?

There's no reason.

I found this young lady with a knife in his hand.

And my brother thrown away on the ground, dead

I found it on the floor. and I tried to help him.

Stabbing him?

I just took the knife out of him.

Anybody would have done the same thing.

I loved him.

Dear young lady, no. has to be alarmed.

No one is accusing her...

...of what happened.

This could be a case clearly closed...

...only the reason is missing. for the murder

There happens to be a witness who was outside the house...

...during the murder, and he said that only she came in.

What about other people? Who benefits from his death?

No one, things are made of such a way...

...that if he died before he was married...

...it all went to charity.

My dear Inspector Lestrade...

...he didn't die before he got married.

This young lady and the man whose body was removed...

...were married a long time ago. for at least a week.

In case of death I imagine that...

...all your goods pass into your hands.

And now, we're back...

to the Cunningham Heritage Case.

How did you know were married?

Would you like some?

Yeah, a week ago.

So, he did benefit with my brother's death.

She's your heiress.

I don't know if it is or not.

All I know is I didn't kill him, I swear. I didn't do it.

Where were you married?

It was in Brighton, last weekend.

But why Pete didn't say anything?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

He asked me not to say anything, and I didn't.

I'm afraid, young lady. I have to ask you...

...to come with me. to the police station.

I get it. I get it.

Keep me posted, Inspector, I'll tell my mother.

Yes, of course I do.

Tell me Holmes, how did you know...

...who were married?

Well, man's hands...

...were tanned by the sun.

And the weak mark of a narrow ring, but...

...not as deep as to mark the finger...

...as a ring usually leaves a ring.

A weekend and the rays of the Sun...

...could have done it. perfectly.

- I didn't realize that. - Yeah, I know.

The young lady's hands are also tanned...

...with the same intensity.

Then the case is solved.

Yes, it does. Doesn't it?

What are you looking for?

Can you see that?

What? I don't know.

- Use this. - Thank you. [Chuckles]

Well, they cut the carpet.

Yeah, it's recent.

Yes, but...

...what does it mean?

That's a good question.

Stop looking for clues, Holmes.

- Then you've solved the case. - Completely.

Oh, splendid.

It seems that this lady has antecedents.

Nine months in the women's prison...

...in Halloway on February 21......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

...from 1892 to 21 November...

...of 1892.

She was employed as a governess...

...and convicted of having stolen 3000 pounds...

...your employer.

It's true. It's true.

I knew they'd find out. sometime.

I made a mistake five years ago, but I paid for it.

But this was before of my marriage...

and I never tried to hide it.

We don't know I had in mind.

I hadn't thought of anything else, only that I loved him.

I'm afraid I must ask him to go...

...with the officer, Miss...

...or should I say ma'am.

You see, my case is...

...fast and simple.

Then you must tell me more about him.

Well, not really. there's nothing to say.

The story was that Peter asked him to call her...

...to the business...

...came and saw the door she had. left open.

He came in and found the bride in the flat...

...with the knife in his chest.

She screamed, pulled out the knife...

...then he showed up Ralph, the brother.

He died without could say a word.

She did it for the inheritance...

...but they grabbed her. in fraganti, simple.

Very simple. Isn't that right, Watson?

The truth is. it's a tragedy.

Yeah, but that's my job, Dr. Watson...

this happens all the time.

I hadn't thought of that.

Well, I guess his life has been an amazing adventure.

Yes, but one has to have...

...a philosophy of life, and to have a philosophy of life. good perspective.

Yeah, I guess that's right.

But it's still a shame.

But here we meet with a smart girl...

...being too smart.

A smart girl who killed her husband...

...is the stupidest way of committing a crime.

- Why do you say that? - What's this? What's this?

It's a checkbook.

An amazing deduction, Lestrade, look.

So Peter Cunningham wrote a check...

- ...for 1000 pounds. - Six weeks ago.

And another five weeks ago.

And another one four years ago.

And one three years ago. And another two years ago.

And that's all there is to it.

So what?

They cashed it in cash.

I don't understand what you mean, he was a very rich man.

Well, it's a lot of cash.

It was his own money, I guess I could do...

...what I wanted with him.

You'd better keep it and check it out. by mail, Lestrade.

Look at you, Holmes, don't start to invent something...

...that doesn't exist.

Do you really think so?

I have great respect for you, Holmes.

But you can't solve the cases alone.

If there's a flaw, it's yours, and I think who's not happy.

He's right about I'm not happy.

But the mark on the carpet indicates there was a fight.

The deceased was 1.80 meters tall.

If I had fought with the girl, I don't think...

...that he would have lost.

You took him by surprise, sir.

But he was waiting for her.

That's his story...

...I say that I know what you're talking about. he approached slowly.

To stab him in the chest? How does it slowly approach...

and stabs him in the chest, Lestrade?

Look Holmes, you're trying to start something...

and I won't allow it.

That girl is very clever, and is guilty...

...and they're going to hang her, and that's what they're going to do. is the end of the case.

Watson, I see that Inspector Lestrade...

...he's got a great deal of work to do. mental confusion...

and try to force the facts.

Well, sir.

...it was a pleasure to meet you, Inspector.

I warn you to stand back. of that man, of Holmes...

...or he'll also go crazy in less time. of a week.

What time is it?

Half past ten.

Would you like to go for a ride with me?

Why is that?

I'd like to investigate this matter this morning, a little more.

Oh,yeah.

I like that.

I thought you'd forgotten.

Not at all, I've been thinking on it all afternoon.

Shall we go?

- On the way, I'll tell you a few things. - Where are we going?

- To the Cunningham house. - I didn't know you had a date.

I don't have it.

- Who do you intend to see? - I hope no one.

I'm so sorry, Holmes.

I misunderstood, when he said he was going to the house...

...of the Cunningham, but...

You can't do that!

- What's that? - You can't break into the house.

- Why not? Why not? - It's against the law, that's why.

- They can stop him. - That's right. That's right. That's right.

What do you mean?

Maybe they'll stop us.

But he can't do it.

They're going to arrest us.

It's against the law.

Now, quick.

Look, Holmes, we can't.

Sssht ... Let's go. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

- Good night, Inspector. - Good night, sergeant.

- Everything all right? - Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

I thought Sherlock Holmes I was going to the bar.

Where did you get the key?

I stole the key.

He stole it? But.

Is the street clear?

Yes, I do.

How do you know they're gone?

Because I had the house watched. Check there.

- What are we looking for? - Papers, checks...

...anything that indicates movement of money...

...in the account of Peter Cunningham, come in.

It's absolutely ridiculous...

...looking for something you don't know what it is...

...and catching someone you don't know who he is.

Pretty ridiculous.

I already searched that place.

Keep looking.

Who are you going to grab? Whatever it is you're looking for.

Why would Peter Cunningham tried to hide his marriage?

A week, or a month, doesn't make a difference...

...as far as his mother is concerned.

Anyway, she never would spoil his new girlfriend.

He married to prove to me that my blackmail...

I wouldn't stop it.

And then to give me one week...

...to leave the country, before he ratted me out.

The money in the checks was to pay you ...

I was pressured, Mr. Holmes.

Commitment to that delinquent...

...gave me the perfect opportunity to get him out...

...a little money.

In fact he was so gawked at her...

...that I could leave. for some time.

Whoever's been in jail gave him the suspect...

...perfect for murder.

Perfect, Mr. Holmes.

And you and Dr. Watson...

...are perfect. suspected robbers.

When I inform you his death to the police...

...you can't blame me.....

for defending the safety of my home.

Well done, Watson.

My hit was better than yours.

You've got the wrong opponent.

All right, Watson, that's how it's done.

So he was the killer.

Yes, the only possible one, of course.

Only one man could to get the knife out of him.

Peter died, as you said, in 3 or 4 minutes.

- And there was a cop outside the house? - Yes, I do.

Clear as crystal.

Oh, yes... obvious.

What do we do now?

What's going on here? Who fired that shot?

We'll sit with the Good Inspector...

...and we'll give him all the evidence.

A little logic, and some few and simple diagrams...

...they'll convince him that night follows day...

...and that one plus one, inevitably add up to two.

How did you get in here?

Calm down Inspector, calm down...

...sit down, right here. a good seat.

Look, we need to talk about a big deal.

They were also present the Inpector...

...Lestrade, Dr. John Watson and...

...and a personal friend of the Inspector...

Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

It's ridiculous.

That's fantastic.

That's not how it happened.

She's a revolutionary. research, Watson.

This whole story is a lie.

Fingerprints, Watson, that's the key...

Nonsense.

What do you intend to do on this matter?

That's all I have to say, put your fingers...

...on a sheet of paper.

Are you going to sit around there with that disgusting...

...thing, and it's not gonna to talk more about it?

I beg your pardon?

Okay, but I won't do it.

They'll know from me.

The brilliant Inspector Lestrade...

... It took you three hours to convince that animal!

I don't know, in my life...

I heard something like that.

I wonder if he had anything else...

...that a wound in the shoulder, in Afghanistan.
