1
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:13,739
Mrs. Barclay, your tea.
2
00:01:15,492 --> 00:01:17,409
How could you do such a thing?
3
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:19,953
Your tea, madam.
4
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,623
I hate you, I hate you,
I hate you, I hate you.
5
00:01:24,667 --> 00:01:26,667
Your tea, madam.
6
00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:26,960
You betrayed him.
7
00:01:27,045 --> 00:01:29,045
Mrs. Penning
8
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:33,300
What's happened, what is it, child?
9
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:37,096
It's madam and the Colonel, something
awful is going on and I can't open the door.
10
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,305
Here, let me try.
11
00:01:42,811 --> 00:01:44,603
Stop him, both of you
12
00:01:45,146 --> 00:01:48,607
Mrs. Barclay.
Mrs. Barclay, open the door.
13
00:02:14,425 --> 00:02:15,843
Mrs. Barclay, open the door.
14
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,347
The door is locked on the inside as well,
and there's no key.
15
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:23,684
I'm going out for a doctor,
and the police.
16
00:02:59,929 --> 00:03:03,223
There's quite a few of them
when I sailed home wounded.
17
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:08,395
Had a good record out in India,
did wonders during the Mutiny.
18
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,231
I'm sure you won't regret
taking the case.
19
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:13,358
Ah, sentry.
20
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:28,373
Dr. John Watson,
formerly medical officer
21
00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:30,876
attached to the Royal Berkshires.
Now in civilian practice.
22
00:03:31,085 --> 00:03:34,421
Murphy, second in command, temporarily
in charge of the Royal Mallows,
23
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:37,591
following the, tragedy
of our Colonel's death.
24
00:03:38,009 --> 00:03:39,426
And this will be Mr. Holmes?
25
00:03:40,428 --> 00:03:42,428
Please.
26
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:49,603
It's good of you to come so swiftly.
27
00:03:50,855 --> 00:03:52,855
Not at all.
28
00:03:52,523 --> 00:03:54,942
I have explained to Holmes
how concerned
29
00:03:55,109 --> 00:03:57,444
you must be about the
possibility of a scandal.
30
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:00,780
Thank you.
31
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:05,285
The honor of the regiment is in my care.
32
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:12,626
And yet, the newspapers report suggest
that a scandal is inevitable.
33
00:04:12,961 --> 00:04:16,129
Surely not. I've done my utmost to
make sure that reporters
34
00:04:16,297 --> 00:04:17,965
were kept as far away as possible.
35
00:04:18,132 --> 00:04:19,800
Exactly, and that is what
has made them suspicious.
36
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:22,970
They scent a mystery, that much is clear
37
00:04:23,054 --> 00:04:25,222
from the little they have
been able to say.
38
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:29,559
Surely, it would be wrong to repeat,
39
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:33,480
to draw attention to...
40
00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:36,899
Quite.
41
00:04:39,988 --> 00:04:43,115
You see how much we need
your help, Mr. Holmes.
42
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:50,998
What do you say, Holmes?
43
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:53,457
What can I say?
44
00:04:54,627 --> 00:04:56,837
Major Murphy, you have
told me nothing.
45
00:04:58,172 --> 00:05:01,842
I have come down here after persuasion
from my friend, to Aldershot,
46
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:04,011
who has more interest in
military matters than I.
47
00:05:05,596 --> 00:05:13,312
Now that I am here,
please tell me the facts.
48
00:05:18,526 --> 00:05:20,027
The commanding officer
of this regiment,
49
00:05:20,194 --> 00:05:22,988
Colonel James Barclay,
was found dead in his villa
50
00:05:23,072 --> 00:05:25,032
at about 10 o'clock
the night before last.
51
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,370
The body was found by Private Bates,
his batman, lying in the morning room.
52
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:33,790
There was a ragged cut, two-inches
long, on the back of his head,
53
00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:37,336
which had evidently been caused by a
violent blow from a blunt instrument.
54
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:43,675
And upon the floor by the body was a
singular hand-carved wooden club.
55
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:50,724
Also, stretched out on the sofa
56
00:05:50,808 --> 00:05:54,227
lying in a dead faint, was Nancy Bar -
Mrs. Barclay.
57
00:05:56,397 --> 00:05:58,065
Please continue, Major Murphy.
58
00:06:02,278 --> 00:06:05,197
The servants had been alerted to the
tragedy by the sounds of a quarrel
59
00:06:05,281 --> 00:06:07,074
between the Colonel and Mrs. Barclay.
60
00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:10,077
They tried to enter the morning room
but found it locked.
61
00:06:10,244 --> 00:06:13,538
Bates had to go around by the garden
and get in through the French windows.
62
00:06:13,664 --> 00:06:15,582
And now you suspect Mrs. Barclay?
63
00:06:16,667 --> 00:06:20,754
Yes. But she is quite incapable
of such a dreadful act.
64
00:06:24,258 --> 00:06:27,094
I have been the late Colonel's second
in command for a number of years.
65
00:06:27,261 --> 00:06:29,262
I've come to know Nancy Barclay well.
66
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,600
Of course.
67
00:06:38,981 --> 00:06:42,901
Tell me about Colonel Barclay. Was he highly
regarded by the men under his command?
68
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:46,780
Considering his background,
remarkably so.
69
00:06:47,115 --> 00:06:49,449
His background, why,
was he ever disgraced?
70
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:52,576
No,
71
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,289
but it's not generally known outside
that Jim Barclay began his career
72
00:06:56,457 --> 00:06:58,708
as a private soldier in the Mallows.
73
00:06:59,335 --> 00:07:01,335
Did he, indeed?
74
00:07:01,462 --> 00:07:04,297
From private soldier to commanding
officer in the same regiment,
75
00:07:04,382 --> 00:07:05,799
that's a rare achievement.
76
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:10,303
I was his gallantry in the Indian Mutiny
that got him his commission,
77
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:14,641
and then quite rapid promotion
over the years,
78
00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:18,437
more rapid than mine, for instance.
79
00:07:19,897 --> 00:07:21,897
Impressive.
80
00:07:23,151 --> 00:07:26,069
And I suppose the unfortunate
Mrs. Barclay is in custody?
81
00:07:26,487 --> 00:07:29,823
No, not exactly, no.
82
00:07:30,658 --> 00:07:32,492
She's in hospital, being looked after,
83
00:07:33,202 --> 00:07:35,579
with a police constable standing by.
84
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:41,168
Nancy Barclay is a
handsome woman now,
85
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:46,173
but you should have seen her
as a young girl in India, 30 years ago.
86
00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:52,137
She was a daughter of the regiment.
87
00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:57,434
Her father was the Regimental
Sergeant Major, RSM Devoy, and
88
00:07:57,852 --> 00:08:01,480
therefore quite a formidable
father-in-law for any soldier.
89
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:05,525
I remember that all
the men in my company
90
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:08,361
thought her quite the
prettiest girl in the garrison.
91
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:12,199
As a junior officer I had
little to do with her,
92
00:08:12,366 --> 00:08:15,952
but I was aware that
she was a most charming,
93
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:18,663
most vivacious and spirited girl.
94
00:08:26,756 --> 00:08:29,508
It was quite understandable
95
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:33,553
that Barclay was not the only man
in the regiment who sought her hand.
96
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:37,641
But, in the end, he was
the one she chose
97
00:08:45,566 --> 00:08:47,067
They were married at Bhurtee,
98
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,529
not far from Cornpor a few months after
the besieged garrison
99
00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:54,199
there was relieved by General Neill's
column in the summer of 1858,
100
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,661
Shortly after the marriage,
101
00:08:59,121 --> 00:09:02,707
Sergeant Barclay got his
commission, as expected.
102
00:09:03,584 --> 00:09:05,877
It must have been difficult
for the Barclays at first,
103
00:09:07,088 --> 00:09:09,005
NCO, promoted from the ranks,
104
00:09:09,423 --> 00:09:11,758
married to a regimental
Sergeant Major's daughter?
105
00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:17,597
Yes, I believe there was
some little social friction.
106
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:23,103
But, Nancy carried it off
with dignity and charm,
107
00:09:23,771 --> 00:09:25,939
and they gained acceptance in no time.
108
00:09:27,149 --> 00:09:29,067
Barclay's career flourished,
109
00:09:29,151 --> 00:09:31,778
and the regiment returned
from India some five years ago.
110
00:09:33,155 --> 00:09:36,032
Barclay was then appointed
to commanding officer.
111
00:09:37,785 --> 00:09:41,037
And the marriage continued
to be a happy one?
112
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,124
It appeared to be so.
113
00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:47,376
Appeared?
114
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:50,964
Most people believe the marriage
to have been a uniformly happy one.
115
00:09:53,301 --> 00:09:56,386
And what do you believe,
Major Murphy?
116
00:09:57,597 --> 00:10:00,140
My position as second in command
117
00:10:00,349 --> 00:10:02,142
often took me to the Barclay's house.
118
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:06,146
I saw a different side to the marriage,
119
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:12,485
The truth is more important
than loyalty to your late commander.
120
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:17,949
One night I had been dining
at the Barclays.
121
00:10:18,492 --> 00:10:19,826
It wasn't until I reached
the end of the drive
122
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:22,662
that I realized I'd left my cigar case
in the dining room.
123
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:27,167
I went back, the front door
was still open.
124
00:10:28,669 --> 00:10:30,920
Jane, the maid, was in the hall.
125
00:10:32,256 --> 00:10:35,008
I'm glad you're still here,
I left my cigar case on the table.
126
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:37,302
I think the Colonel and Mrs. Barclay
have gone to bed, sir.
127
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:40,597
Oh, for goodness sake, James.
128
00:10:41,098 --> 00:10:43,475
Confess then, who is it, who?
129
00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:47,479
Let go of me, you're hurting me.
130
00:10:47,772 --> 00:10:49,356
Tell me you love me then,
131
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:52,192
me and nobody else.
Do you hear, do you hear me?
132
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,528
Oh, would I have married you
if I didn't?
133
00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:58,990
I don't know, sometimes I wonder.
134
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:11,002
And this expression of jealousy occurred
within seconds of you Major Murphy,
135
00:11:11,128 --> 00:11:12,462
leaving the Barclays' house.
136
00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:14,297
Tell me about the Colonel,
137
00:11:15,257 --> 00:11:17,300
was he a violent man in any way?
138
00:11:19,053 --> 00:11:21,053
On occasion.
139
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:24,307
He could be most vindictive
towards young subalterns.
140
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,727
But he'd clawed his way to the top.
141
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,480
You need to be ruthless to do that.
142
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:33,733
Surely he didn't still feel
out of place as an officer?
143
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:35,652
No, I don't think so.
144
00:11:36,195 --> 00:11:39,364
But he was subject to
a peculiar form of depression.
145
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:44,911
The Queen.
146
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,758
Sometimes when we were
discussing old campaigns,
147
00:11:59,343 --> 00:12:02,595
the premier, the Mutiny, Afghan War,
148
00:12:04,098 --> 00:12:07,350
the smile would often be
struck from his mouth
149
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:10,937
as if by some invisible hand.
150
00:12:19,780 --> 00:12:22,282
Yes, long service in India
can have that effect.
151
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:25,577
I saw that when I was in the Berkshires.
152
00:12:26,162 --> 00:12:29,539
You mentioned a carved wooden club
found by the body,
153
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,293
one of the Colonel's Indian souvenirs?
154
00:12:34,295 --> 00:12:37,464
I believe the servants deny
ever having seen this club before.
155
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:42,427
Certainly I've never seen it on
any of my visits. It was quite long
156
00:12:42,636 --> 00:12:46,306
And the police, I suppose,
have retained it for examination?
157
00:12:46,515 --> 00:12:49,476
Yes. They believe it to be
the murder weapon.
158
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:51,436
Do they, indeed?
159
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:55,148
I think we should begin
by visiting the Barclays' house,
160
00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:58,943
unless, of course, it is possible
to interview Mrs. Barclay?
161
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:01,488
I'm afraid she's still unconscious.
162
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:05,450
I thought as much.
163
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:16,503
David, David.
164
00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:29,516
What a beautiful morning!
165
00:13:32,353 --> 00:13:35,688
Holmes, suppose Mrs. Barclay
166
00:13:35,856 --> 00:13:39,359
had a lover and the Colonel
had found out?
167
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:43,279
Major Murphy seems to have
been rather close to her.
168
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:48,201
You know, mild adultery
has always been
169
00:13:48,369 --> 00:13:52,038
commonplace among officers and
their wives serving in hot climates.
170
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:56,042
Thank you, Watson,
for educating me in military morality.
171
00:13:57,711 --> 00:14:00,839
If there had been anything between
Major Murphy and Mrs. Barclay,
172
00:14:01,215 --> 00:14:03,967
would he have related the incident
of his forgotten cigar case?
173
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:57,228
It was about half past seven, sir,
and I was waiting a table.
174
00:14:57,771 --> 00:15:01,691
Once a month, Mrs. Barclay spent the
evening doing charity work in Aldershot.
175
00:15:39,229 --> 00:15:40,813
Where are you off to in such a hurry?
176
00:15:41,857 --> 00:15:45,151
Well, the distribution of old
clothing starts at 8 o'clock,
177
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,657
and I promised Ann Morrison.
I'd be at the mission hall on time.
178
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,410
Well, if you want to catch
some filthy disease
179
00:15:54,536 --> 00:15:57,664
with a lot of flea ridden down and outs,
I suppose that's your affair.
180
00:15:57,998 --> 00:16:01,000
I believe in putting back into life
as much as one gets out of it.
181
00:16:03,337 --> 00:16:05,463
We've been fortunate with our lot,
182
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:10,510
others haven't been so lucky.
183
00:16:14,181 --> 00:16:15,348
Don't be late back.
184
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:18,350
Of course not.
185
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:33,866
Mrs. Barclay must have returned
about quarter past nine, sir.
186
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:37,537
I was in the kitchen helping
the cook with the dishes.
187
00:16:39,957 --> 00:16:42,542
There was thunder in the distance
and I was just saying to Mrs. Penning
188
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:45,461
that there was a storm brewing
when the morning room bell rang,
189
00:16:46,755 --> 00:16:49,382
I came up here to find that
Mrs. Barclay had returned.
190
00:16:51,051 --> 00:16:52,885
She was walking up and down
this room, sir,
191
00:16:53,846 --> 00:16:56,723
very pale, upset.
192
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:05,064
She looked awful, sir.
193
00:17:10,404 --> 00:17:12,404
You rang, madam?
194
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:17,493
Yes, Jane, bring me some tea, will you?
195
00:17:18,370 --> 00:17:20,370
Of course, madam.
196
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:34,052
Jane, is that you?
197
00:17:40,934 --> 00:17:42,934
Yes, sir.
198
00:17:42,978 --> 00:17:45,938
Did I hear Mrs. Barclay come in?
199
00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:47,607
Yes, sir, she's in the morning room.
200
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:51,818
The morning room?
201
00:17:50,944 --> 00:17:52,945
Yes, sir. I'm just about to
take her a pot of tea.
202
00:17:54,281 --> 00:17:59,535
Tea? What does she want tea for
at this hour?
203
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:20,139
And that, presumably, was the last time
that anyone saw Colonel Barclay alive?
204
00:18:21,058 --> 00:18:23,058
Yes, sir.
205
00:18:25,145 --> 00:18:27,480
Can you think of any reason
206
00:18:27,606 --> 00:18:30,942
why your mistress came
into this morning room
207
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:33,986
at that time of night,
when the fire was unlit?
208
00:18:34,696 --> 00:18:36,696
No, sir.
209
00:18:35,989 --> 00:18:38,616
Did she often make a point
of purposely avoiding the Colonel?
210
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:45,832
Had you ever heard
them arguing before?
211
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,086
Not to my knowledge, sir.
212
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:56,926
When you returned from the kitchen
with Mrs. Barclay's tea,
213
00:18:57,344 --> 00:18:58,636
you found the door locked,
214
00:18:59,346 --> 00:19:02,682
and you heard voices raised.
Now, what exactly did you hear?
215
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:05,518
They were arguing, sir.
216
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,190
Mrs. Barclay called the Colonel
a coward.
217
00:19:12,317 --> 00:19:15,194
She said you have ruined
my life all these years.
218
00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:18,823
Mrs. Barclay shouted the name "David,"
219
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:21,200
she said it twice.
220
00:19:24,037 --> 00:19:25,163
David?
221
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:28,039
Could you swear to that?
222
00:19:27,708 --> 00:19:29,375
I was perfectly clear, sir.
223
00:19:30,085 --> 00:19:32,003
But the Colonel's name was James.
224
00:19:33,630 --> 00:19:37,008
Have you ever heard, Mrs. Barclay
refer to anyone called David?
225
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:40,887
No, sir, I don't think she or the Colonel
knew anyone by the name of David.
226
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:43,514
And Major Murphy's Christian
name is Patrick.
227
00:19:46,894 --> 00:19:50,563
Had they had any visitors recently
by the name of David?
228
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:52,356
I don't think so, sir.
229
00:19:54,276 --> 00:19:58,905
The club that was found
by Colonel Barclay's body.
230
00:19:59,072 --> 00:20:00,239
Had you seen it before?
231
00:20:01,241 --> 00:20:05,578
No, sir. The Colonel had several trophies
from India, but nothing like that club.
232
00:20:07,956 --> 00:20:10,249
Are you sure of that, Miss Stewart?
233
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:13,753
Yes, sir. I don't know
where it came from.
234
00:20:18,508 --> 00:20:19,592
Thank you, that is all.
235
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:25,097
Oh, no, there is just one last thing.
236
00:20:26,642 --> 00:20:30,394
Major Murphy once left his cigar case here.
Did you manage to find it?
237
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:32,938
Yes, sir.
238
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:47,620
The Colonel was lying down here, sir.
239
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:49,914
With his head by the fender?
240
00:20:50,123 --> 00:20:52,123
Yes, sir.
241
00:20:52,209 --> 00:20:54,627
You can see the mark of the blood still.
242
00:20:57,089 --> 00:21:00,091
But the most frightening thing
of all, sir, was his face.
243
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:02,759
His face?
244
00:21:02,219 --> 00:21:07,223
When I rolled him over,
I almost fainted away to look upon it.
245
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:11,644
It was all contorted, screwed up
246
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:15,982
with the most horrible look
of fear and terror.
247
00:21:17,609 --> 00:21:20,987
As if he'd foreseen his own death?
248
00:21:23,699 --> 00:21:25,157
Quite possible, sir.
249
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:29,035
Thank you, Bates.
250
00:21:31,623 --> 00:21:33,666
What apparition, what monster was it
251
00:21:34,668 --> 00:21:36,502
that could have frightened
the Colonel so.
252
00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:42,300
Not Nancy Barclay, for sure.
253
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:48,014
This door was locked shut, sir,
and what's more, the key was missing.
254
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:53,643
Missing?
255
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:56,022
Yes, in the end we had to send
for a locksmith to open it,
256
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:58,524
You have made a thorough
search for the key?
257
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:00,026
We searched high and low.
258
00:22:00,527 --> 00:22:04,363
Mrs. Barclay hadn't got it. And
it wasn't in the Colonel's pocket, sir.
259
00:22:04,906 --> 00:22:07,033
Thank you, Mrs. Penning.
260
00:22:12,914 --> 00:22:16,876
Watson, if the key was not in the door,
261
00:22:17,544 --> 00:22:20,546
and neither Mrs. Barclay nor
the Colonel had it, then-
262
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:26,218
Then there must have been
a third person.
263
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:30,764
Exactly.
264
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:40,232
Who either entered or left
265
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,195
through those windows.
266
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,746
These are Bates' footprints.
267
00:22:59,002 --> 00:23:02,421
But these, are the footprints of
someone else.
268
00:23:03,173 --> 00:23:07,051
Someone has recently
crossed this lawn,
269
00:23:07,469 --> 00:23:09,095
the marks are just visible.
270
00:23:24,569 --> 00:23:27,780
He entered and left through
those windows, Watson,
271
00:23:28,615 --> 00:23:30,241
we're on the right search.
272
00:23:37,874 --> 00:23:40,459
Watson, look at this.
273
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:43,962
What is it?
274
00:23:42,671 --> 00:23:45,631
Our entrant had a somewhat
unusual companion.
275
00:23:46,216 --> 00:23:48,092
It's a dog, isn't it, somebody's dog?
276
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,803
Whoever heard of a dog
running up a curtain.
277
00:23:52,013 --> 00:23:53,139
What about a cat then?
278
00:23:54,683 --> 00:23:57,309
These claw marks are not
those of a cat, nor of a monkey,
279
00:23:57,477 --> 00:23:59,812
nor of any creature
that we are familiar with.
280
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,816
I would think from hind foot to forefoot
281
00:24:05,318 --> 00:24:10,322
at least 15 inches. Add to that
the length of neck and head,
282
00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:13,325
you have a creature
no less than two feet,
283
00:24:13,493 --> 00:24:17,246
more if there's a tail.
The length of its stride is odd,
284
00:24:17,747 --> 00:24:22,168
it indicates a creature
with a long back and short legs.
285
00:24:22,335 --> 00:24:23,919
Something like a stoat or a weasel?
286
00:24:24,754 --> 00:24:27,506
We also know that it is carnivorous.
287
00:24:28,091 --> 00:24:29,300
How can you tell that?
288
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:32,678
Well you see what made it
run up the curtain.
289
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:37,307
The canary.
290
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:38,558
Exactly.
291
00:24:38,852 --> 00:24:40,769
Then what was this beast?
292
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:55,701
No, I can't, I cannot betray a friend,
please don't ask me to.
293
00:25:12,469 --> 00:25:13,719
Miss Morrison,
294
00:25:16,097 --> 00:25:19,975
when Mrs. Barclay left her house
to come here two nights ago,
295
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,896
she was happy and content.
296
00:25:26,024 --> 00:25:28,526
When she returned two hours later,
she was a changed woman.
297
00:25:28,652 --> 00:25:30,736
Now the police suspect her of murder.
298
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:38,327
You owe it to your friend to
clear her name.
299
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,664
You must tell me what happened last night
that so changed her.
300
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:49,755
Very well, I shall break my
promise of silence
301
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:52,424
if what I can say can really help her.
302
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:55,094
So there was something.
303
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:58,097
It was most bizarre,
304
00:26:00,517 --> 00:26:05,187
I should explain that we come across
all sorts of conditions of men here.
305
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:10,776
Yet, the other night, I saw the most
extraordinary creature I have ever seen.
306
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:17,741
Not only had he a crooked back,
but he was lame...
307
00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:21,036
and walked with his knees bent.
308
00:26:22,455 --> 00:26:24,790
His face was darkly tanned,
309
00:26:25,375 --> 00:26:27,918
crinkled and puckered
like a withered apple.
310
00:26:28,461 --> 00:26:31,297
I thought to myself that truly
there are some of us on this earth
311
00:26:31,464 --> 00:26:34,258
who are burdened with more than
their fair share of misfortune.
312
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:42,474
This vision was made more unusual
by the oriental garb the man was wearing.
313
00:26:48,315 --> 00:26:54,612
I pointed this person out to Nancy
as someone especially deserving of help.
314
00:26:59,492 --> 00:27:02,161
Nancy had indeed been in
good spirits that evening,
315
00:27:02,996 --> 00:27:07,291
and I saw her go towards the man
and ask him if he needed assistance.
316
00:27:12,005 --> 00:27:14,465
It was now that a change
came over Nancy.
317
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:18,927
She had begun a conversation with
the man when suddenly
318
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:21,472
all the colour drained from her face.
319
00:27:22,349 --> 00:27:24,433
She looked as though
she had seen a ghost.
320
00:27:25,685 --> 00:27:28,937
The man, too, seemed to be strangely
affected by the sight of her.
321
00:27:29,064 --> 00:27:32,274
And I saw him gesticulating wildly.
322
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,528
Well, Nancy and the man went
to a quiet corner of the hall
323
00:27:37,447 --> 00:27:39,865
and they talked together
or a few moments or so
324
00:27:40,116 --> 00:27:42,451
before I heard an angry shout
from the man
325
00:27:42,577 --> 00:27:45,537
and saw him storm out,
waving his fists in the air.
326
00:27:59,219 --> 00:28:00,552
Nancy, what is it?
327
00:28:02,222 --> 00:28:04,222
Are you all right?
328
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:06,642
Who was that poor creature?
329
00:28:07,894 --> 00:28:11,522
It's an old acquaintance of mine
fallen on hard times.
330
00:28:13,566 --> 00:28:17,486
Promise me, Annie, you won't say anything
about this to anyone, promise me.
331
00:28:18,405 --> 00:28:21,407
Of course, I promise, if you so wish.
332
00:28:26,996 --> 00:28:28,872
And the identity of this man?
333
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,418
I thought you might ask me that.
334
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:36,922
Well, after this terrible happening,
Nancy left.
335
00:28:37,674 --> 00:28:40,759
I naturally made a few inquiries
among some of the regulars
336
00:28:41,302 --> 00:28:46,098
such an unusual looking creature
has of course attracted attention.
337
00:28:47,142 --> 00:28:50,561
It appears he is an old soldier
recently back from India,
338
00:28:51,146 --> 00:28:53,939
and no one knows anything else
about his background
339
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:57,234
except that he makes a living
by entertaining the troops,
340
00:28:58,361 --> 00:29:01,029
conjuring tricks, that kind of thing.
341
00:29:04,451 --> 00:29:06,618
And did you tell the police about him?
342
00:29:09,330 --> 00:29:10,748
Of course not,
343
00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:16,462
a promise is a promise.
344
00:29:17,213 --> 00:29:19,213
Yes, of course.
345
00:29:19,966 --> 00:29:21,966
Thank you, Miss Morrison.
346
00:30:55,770 --> 00:30:58,897
That is our intruder's
four-footed companion.
347
00:30:59,732 --> 00:31:01,066
It's a mongoose.
348
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:03,735
I think we've found our man.
349
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:18,917
Mr. Henry Wood, I believe,
late of India. May I have a word?
350
00:31:19,043 --> 00:31:21,043
What about?
351
00:31:20,169 --> 00:31:23,422
A little matter of Colonel
James Barclay's death.
352
00:31:57,081 --> 00:32:00,959
She's innocent, you can take
my word for it.
353
00:32:01,210 --> 00:32:02,294
Then you are guilty.
354
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:05,964
No, I am not guilty.
355
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,801
Then who struck the Colonel down?
356
00:32:09,969 --> 00:32:15,098
It was a just Providence that killed him,
his own guilty conscience.
357
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:17,643
I think you'd better explain.
358
00:32:17,852 --> 00:32:23,231
My God, if I had smashed his head in
as it was in my heart to do,
359
00:32:23,358 --> 00:32:25,442
he would have got only what
he deserved from me.
360
00:32:29,155 --> 00:32:33,158
No, I never laid a hand on him,
361
00:32:34,077 --> 00:32:36,286
I was spared the trouble.
362
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:42,960
I'll tell you my story.
363
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:49,174
There is no cause for
me to be ashamed of it.
364
00:32:57,684 --> 00:33:02,354
You see me now with
my back like a camel,
365
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:04,189
my ribs all awry,
366
00:33:06,526 --> 00:33:09,778
but there was a time when
Corporal Henry Wood
367
00:33:09,904 --> 00:33:12,990
was the smartest man
in the Royal Mallows.
368
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:18,036
You were in the same regiment
as Colonel Barclay?
369
00:33:19,789 --> 00:33:26,837
Oh, yes, but he was
Sergeant Jim Barclay then.
370
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:29,715
We were in the same company,
371
00:33:32,218 --> 00:33:34,886
and we had something else in common,
372
00:33:37,890 --> 00:33:40,058
we were both in love
373
00:33:41,394 --> 00:33:45,731
with the same woman, Nancy Devoy.
374
00:33:46,983 --> 00:33:49,234
Who was the daughter
of the Regimental Sergeant Major.
375
00:33:54,782 --> 00:33:57,075
There were two men who loved her,
376
00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:01,704
but
377
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:06,752
only one whom she loved,
378
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:16,761
She...
379
00:34:16,804 --> 00:34:23,602
you'll laugh when you look at this
poor thing huddled in front of the fire
380
00:34:25,438 --> 00:34:35,781
and hear me say that it was
for my good looks that Nancy
381
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:38,116
loved me.
382
00:34:55,343 --> 00:34:58,762
I was the one she loved all along.
383
00:35:00,056 --> 00:35:03,975
But although I had her heart,
her father didn't approve of me.
384
00:35:09,398 --> 00:35:12,442
I was a harum-scarum,
reckless sort of lad,
385
00:35:12,819 --> 00:35:16,154
but I was always honest and
plain dealing as well.
386
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:24,454
Oh, Nancy's father wanted her
to marry Barclay.
387
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:29,751
He was careful to keep out of trouble,
always did the right thing.
388
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,759
Not like me who took Nancy
to places her father didn't like.
389
00:35:38,845 --> 00:35:44,808
Besides, Barclay had had an education,
he was already marked for the sword-belt.
390
00:35:45,226 --> 00:35:50,188
RSM Devoy naturally thought Barclay
the better match for his daughter.
391
00:35:55,361 --> 00:35:57,612
But she remained true to me,
392
00:35:58,656 --> 00:36:01,158
and we would have married
had it not been for the Mutiny.
393
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,036
Why did Nancy Devoy not marry
the man she loved?
394
00:36:07,665 --> 00:36:11,042
It was monsoon time in 1857,
395
00:36:11,502 --> 00:36:14,045
when the Sepoys rose up
against the British.
396
00:36:15,715 --> 00:36:18,216
The regiment was shut up in Bhurtee.
397
00:36:20,219 --> 00:36:25,390
There were 10,000 rebels round us, pinning
us down like terriers round a rat cage.
398
00:36:26,976 --> 00:36:28,727
We'd run short of food and ammunition,
399
00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:33,023
we had to communicate with General
Neill's column that was moving up-country.
400
00:36:34,275 --> 00:36:36,359
It was our only chance to get help.
401
00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:45,202
Our company commander had asked
for a volunteer,
402
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:49,247
a fit, strong soldier to slip out
of the garrison at dead of night
403
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:52,542
and make contact with the relief column
out on the plain beyond.
404
00:36:53,252 --> 00:36:55,587
Like a fool, I volunteered.
405
00:36:56,756 --> 00:37:00,884
It was a dangerous mission all right,
there were a 1,000 lives in peril.
406
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:05,013
But I was thinking of
only one of them...
407
00:37:18,653 --> 00:37:22,030
Nancy Devoy,
the woman I loved,
408
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:25,742
and the finest girl that ever had
the breath of life between her lips.
409
00:37:27,078 --> 00:37:30,789
Saying goodbye to her was
the hardest thing.
410
00:37:36,796 --> 00:37:39,714
As we exchanged mementos,
I never thought that
411
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,425
I was saying goodbye to her
for 30 years.
412
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:47,806
It was my rival for Nancy's hand
413
00:37:47,974 --> 00:37:50,809
who saw me off on my journey
through the enemy lines that night,
414
00:37:51,352 --> 00:37:52,978
Sergeant Barclay.
415
00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:56,648
He said he knew the lie of the land
around the garrison better than any other.
416
00:37:57,316 --> 00:37:59,401
While I volunteered to make the journey,
417
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:04,155
Jim Barclay volunteered to advise me
on the best route to take.
418
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,332
So, just after then,
419
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:17,919
while my comrades gave me
covering fire, I set off.
420
00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:27,846
Barclay had told me to follow a stream
which would lead to a gully.
421
00:38:28,180 --> 00:38:30,432
This, he said,
was the safest way downhill.
422
00:38:31,642 --> 00:38:35,103
His directions were perfect, and soon
I was wading through icy water
423
00:38:35,229 --> 00:38:38,106
that only the day before
had been snow in the Himalayas.
424
00:38:47,616 --> 00:38:50,869
I could see the lights and fires
in the rebels' camp
425
00:38:51,203 --> 00:38:54,205
but I kept wading down,
out of sight of their sentry posts.
426
00:38:54,957 --> 00:38:56,875
I came to the gully and
thought I was safe.
427
00:39:03,799 --> 00:39:06,718
But then it happened, I was attacked.
428
00:39:07,219 --> 00:39:11,514
Something hard cracked down
on my head and everything spun around.
429
00:39:15,436 --> 00:39:19,064
When I came to,
I was trussed up like a chicken
430
00:39:19,482 --> 00:39:20,899
and hanging from a tree.
431
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:25,028
My arms felt as though they were being
wrenched out of their sockets.
432
00:39:26,781 --> 00:39:28,406
I didn't mind the pain,
433
00:39:29,325 --> 00:39:32,243
but I was sick at heart
for having failed in my mission.
434
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:35,997
What would be the fate of those
I had been trying to save?
435
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:52,389
But the biggest blow came as I listened to
what I could understand of a rebels' talk.
436
00:39:53,265 --> 00:39:57,394
I heard enough to realize
that I had been betrayed.
437
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,688
The very man who had shown me the way
to take had betrayed me to the enemy,
438
00:40:01,273 --> 00:40:05,777
Barclay had got rid of me
to make sure he could have my girl.
439
00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:17,414
Now, you know what James Barclay
was capable of.
440
00:40:22,294 --> 00:40:29,300
Well, it turned out that General Neill's column
was already on its way to relieve Bhurtee.
441
00:40:30,469 --> 00:40:34,305
The rebels retreated,
they dragged me away with them.
442
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:41,896
I was tortured. I tried to escape,
I was tortured again.
443
00:40:45,943 --> 00:40:50,155
It was to be many a long year
before I saw another white face.
444
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:59,747
My captors fled north,
further into the hills,
445
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:02,500
and used me as a sort of slave.
446
00:41:03,043 --> 00:41:07,338
I was treated worse than a dog and they
damn near broke every bone in my body.
447
00:41:09,758 --> 00:41:12,427
Sometimes I'd wish
they'd just killed me,
448
00:41:13,179 --> 00:41:16,681
but my thoughts of hatred and loathing
for the man who destroyed my life
449
00:41:16,849 --> 00:41:20,977
kept me going.
I dreamed of revenge on Barclay.
450
00:41:36,869 --> 00:41:41,289
One day some Afghan tribesmen
murdered the rebels that held me prisoner.
451
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:46,211
They left me for dead, too.
But by a miracle, I still lived.
452
00:41:54,929 --> 00:41:58,139
So, I had my revenge on my torturers,
453
00:41:59,016 --> 00:42:01,476
but Barclay was beyond my grasp.
454
00:42:02,561 --> 00:42:03,645
And what of Nancy.
455
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:07,023
I had no means of knowing whether
she was alive or dead.
456
00:42:12,196 --> 00:42:16,241
I wandered back to the Punjab,
and lived among the natives,
457
00:42:16,617 --> 00:42:20,828
picking up a living by the conjuring tricks
I'd learned from the street magicians.
458
00:42:21,914 --> 00:42:27,752
What use was it for me, a wretched cripple,
to get passage back by ship to England
459
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:30,588
and make myself known
to my old comrades in the regiment?
460
00:42:32,299 --> 00:42:36,594
Even my desire to have my revenge
on Jim Barclay didn't make me go.
461
00:42:38,097 --> 00:42:41,432
You know why? I'll tell you straight.
462
00:42:42,476 --> 00:42:46,396
I preferred my Nancy and my old pals
in the Royal Mallows
463
00:42:46,605 --> 00:42:50,525
to go on believing
that Harry Wood died a hero's death
464
00:42:51,110 --> 00:42:56,781
with a straight back,
than see him crawling about the world
465
00:42:57,366 --> 00:43:01,119
more like a chimpanzee
than a human being.
466
00:43:04,999 --> 00:43:06,082
But you did return,
467
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:09,794
and to Aldershot where your old
regiment was stationed, why?
468
00:43:10,713 --> 00:43:13,923
I just wanted to see the old country
once more before I died.
469
00:43:15,259 --> 00:43:19,929
I saved what I could and
eventually I got a ship.
470
00:43:28,731 --> 00:43:32,984
I didn't know the regiment was
stationed here in Aldershot,
471
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:35,320
I just wanted to be where
there were soldiers.
472
00:43:36,488 --> 00:43:40,158
I could earn my keep going around the
canteens doing my tricks to entertain them.
473
00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:46,164
I no longer wanted to kill Barclay,
474
00:43:47,625 --> 00:43:51,794
the fires of revenge
had burned low over the years...
475
00:43:56,258 --> 00:43:58,258
until
476
00:44:00,346 --> 00:44:02,847
I saw her.
477
00:44:13,067 --> 00:44:15,276
I thought I'd better get
some English tongs,
478
00:44:15,611 --> 00:44:19,530
I looked comical enough without wearing
these foreign clothes the whole time.
479
00:44:20,699 --> 00:44:23,868
At first, I was more interested in finding
a thick overcoat
480
00:44:24,036 --> 00:44:26,371
than looking at the charity ladies
who were doling them out.
481
00:44:27,539 --> 00:44:32,168
Then one of them came over,
482
00:44:33,671 --> 00:44:36,464
I recognized her at once.
483
00:44:38,092 --> 00:44:39,884
She'd hardly changed,
484
00:44:41,387 --> 00:44:43,054
still beautiful.
485
00:44:44,431 --> 00:44:49,143
What's more amazing is she...
she seemed to know me.
486
00:44:51,814 --> 00:44:55,066
Good evening, can I help you?
Have you been able to find anything that...
487
00:45:01,865 --> 00:45:03,074
I'm sorry, I thought I...
488
00:45:05,411 --> 00:45:10,665
Nancy, it is me, Harry.
489
00:45:11,625 --> 00:45:12,709
Don't be afraid.
490
00:45:15,170 --> 00:45:18,089
I thought you had been dead
these 30 years.
491
00:45:19,425 --> 00:45:20,717
I have been...
492
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:27,765
I thought I would never see you again.
493
00:45:38,569 --> 00:45:41,195
We spoke for a moment or two together.
494
00:45:42,448 --> 00:45:44,282
I told her some of my story.
495
00:45:46,952 --> 00:45:51,205
I should have spared telling her that
her husband was a traitor but it all came
496
00:45:52,124 --> 00:45:55,084
pouring out of me, 30 years of hate.
497
00:46:00,424 --> 00:46:03,468
She was so effected by what I said,
498
00:46:05,387 --> 00:46:09,474
I couldn't stand it, I went outside,
499
00:46:12,686 --> 00:46:17,273
then I saw her come out of the mission
and I followed her home.
500
00:46:18,817 --> 00:46:23,154
I saw her go into the house,
a light came on.
501
00:46:25,824 --> 00:46:30,077
I saw her sitting in a chair.
502
00:46:34,333 --> 00:46:38,169
And then he came into the room.
503
00:46:39,922 --> 00:46:42,590
James, I have to talk to you.
Why are you locking that door.
504
00:46:42,716 --> 00:46:45,635
Don't be back late, I said,
don't be back late, didn't I?
505
00:46:46,053 --> 00:46:49,514
You've been with someone.
You have been with someone.
506
00:46:51,517 --> 00:46:53,517
Who is it?
507
00:46:55,896 --> 00:46:57,688
You've ruined my life.
508
00:46:58,357 --> 00:47:02,527
All these years, all these years.
509
00:47:03,862 --> 00:47:07,448
Oh, how could you do such a thing,
it was evil.
510
00:47:08,116 --> 00:47:11,202
Now, I hate you, I hate you.
I hate you, I hate you.
511
00:47:12,746 --> 00:47:17,375
To see him lay a hand on her
made me mad with anger.
512
00:47:17,793 --> 00:47:19,335
My feelings overcame me.
513
00:47:20,170 --> 00:47:23,381
David. David, you betrayed him.
514
00:47:23,882 --> 00:47:24,966
It's not true.
515
00:47:25,092 --> 00:47:27,552
But he's alive, I tell you
I've seen him.
516
00:47:28,887 --> 00:47:31,389
You're lying, you're mad.
517
00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:47,738
He looked as I have never seen
a man look.
518
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:52,076
I read death on his face
as plain as anything.
519
00:47:53,287 --> 00:47:57,248
The bare sight of me was like a bullet
through his guilty heart.
520
00:48:02,337 --> 00:48:06,257
Mrs. Barclay, Mrs. Barclay,
open the door.
521
00:48:06,925 --> 00:48:11,762
He smashed onto the fender.
He was dead before he fell.
522
00:48:29,698 --> 00:48:33,284
Mrs. Barclay, Mrs. Barclay,
open the door.
523
00:48:45,505 --> 00:48:49,467
I took the key to the door from Nancy's
hand, intending to open it and get help,
524
00:48:50,761 --> 00:48:53,471
I thought I'd better get away
or things might look black against me.
525
00:48:53,972 --> 00:48:56,265
In haste, I thrust the key
into my pocket
526
00:48:56,642 --> 00:49:00,144
whilst I was chasing Teddy who'd escaped
from his box and run up a curtain.
527
00:49:00,437 --> 00:49:02,437
Teddy.
528
00:49:08,695 --> 00:49:11,822
So, the Colonel died before
he struck his head on the fender?
529
00:49:12,491 --> 00:49:15,493
An apoplectic fit, brought on by shock.
530
00:49:16,411 --> 00:49:21,999
Mr. Wood, provided the coroner reaches
the same conclusion, Mrs. Barclay...
531
00:49:22,668 --> 00:49:24,668
Nancy.
532
00:49:27,506 --> 00:49:29,506
Will be free.
533
00:49:31,093 --> 00:49:33,844
I trust you would have no objection
to repeating your story to the police,
534
00:49:34,012 --> 00:49:35,179
should the need arise?
535
00:49:39,726 --> 00:49:40,810
Mr. Holmes,
536
00:49:42,729 --> 00:49:44,021
how is Nancy?
537
00:49:45,691 --> 00:49:47,691
She's in hospital.
538
00:49:48,026 --> 00:49:50,361
I understand in time she should
make a complete recovery.
539
00:49:51,613 --> 00:49:53,030
Thank God.
540
00:50:22,269 --> 00:50:25,980
Oh, Annie, how lovely to see you.
541
00:50:26,898 --> 00:50:28,566
Yes, I'm much better.
542
00:50:33,739 --> 00:50:37,199
Holmes, there's just one thing
I don't understand.
543
00:50:37,617 --> 00:50:39,744
If the Colonel's name was James,
544
00:50:40,996 --> 00:50:46,167
and Wood was called either Henry or
Harry, then who the deuce was David?
545
00:50:46,752 --> 00:50:49,211
My dear Watson, that name David
should have told me the whole story
546
00:50:49,337 --> 00:50:51,088
had I been the ideal reasoner,
547
00:50:51,590 --> 00:50:55,092
which you are so fond of depicting but
alas, my powers of deduction failed me.
548
00:50:55,927 --> 00:51:01,432
You see, David, in this case, was
evidently used as a term of reproach.
549
00:51:03,018 --> 00:51:05,018
Reproach?
550
00:51:05,937 --> 00:51:09,398
Don't you remember how King David
sent Uriah the Hittite
551
00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:14,111
into the forefront of the battle to die so
that he might steal his woman, Bathsheba?
552
00:51:17,449 --> 00:51:20,785
I think you will find the story
in the first or second book of Samuel.
553
00:51:22,287 --> 00:51:24,080
My old testament is a little rusty.
554
00:51:34,633 --> 00:51:35,966
You're quite right, Holmes,
555
00:51:36,885 --> 00:51:40,971
II Samuel, 11:14-17.
556
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:43,641
You appear to have
looked it up yourself,
557
00:51:45,685 --> 00:51:47,812
since we returned home
from Aldershot.
558
00:51:51,983 --> 00:51:53,109
How did you know?
559
00:51:56,488 --> 00:52:00,116
You used this bill for our meal at
Waterloo as a bookmarker, did you not?
560
00:52:00,283 --> 00:52:01,826
Excellent, Watson.
561
00:52:03,995 --> 00:52:06,122
Elementary, my dear Holmes.
562
00:52:13,213 --> 00:52:14,672
Goodnight, old fellow.
