Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:22,482 --> 00:02:25,298
It's no good. I shall have to go.
2
00:02:25,322 --> 00:02:26,883
Go? Go where?
3
00:02:28,642 --> 00:02:29,801
King's Pyland.
4
00:02:32,482 --> 00:02:35,259
Last evening Inspector Gregory
of the Devonshire Constabulary
5
00:02:35,283 --> 00:02:38,763
arrested well known racing
personality Fitzroy Simpson
6
00:02:38,883 --> 00:02:42,203
and charged him with the murder
of trainer, John Straker...
7
00:02:42,483 --> 00:02:43,642
Oh, come in.
8
00:02:45,604 --> 00:02:48,364
Two more telegrams, Mr. Holmes.
9
00:02:48,563 --> 00:02:49,803
Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
10
00:02:49,923 --> 00:02:52,420
You've been bombarded with these
the last couple of days.
11
00:02:52,444 --> 00:02:54,124
Another one from Inspector Gregory.
12
00:02:55,643 --> 00:02:56,780
A note from Colonel Ross.
13
00:02:56,804 --> 00:02:58,340
Awe, that's the horse's owner.
14
00:02:58,364 --> 00:02:59,523
Thank you my dear.
15
00:03:01,404 --> 00:03:02,563
Watson,
16
00:03:03,404 --> 00:03:04,844
I had made a blunder,
17
00:03:05,844 --> 00:03:07,980
which I am afraid is a
more common occurrence
18
00:03:08,004 --> 00:03:11,084
than anyone would think who only
knew me through your memoirs.
19
00:03:11,564 --> 00:03:13,541
But the fact is that
I could not believe
20
00:03:13,565 --> 00:03:16,365
that so a remarkable a horse
as Silver Blaze could disappear,
21
00:03:16,884 --> 00:03:20,221
especially in the seclusion of
somewhere like Dartmoor.
22
00:03:20,245 --> 00:03:22,765
From hour to hour I expect to
hear that the abductor
23
00:03:23,085 --> 00:03:25,421
was the murderer of John Straker
and the horse had been found
24
00:03:25,445 --> 00:03:27,206
but that doesn't seem to
be the case.
25
00:03:28,285 --> 00:03:29,806
I should be happy to go with you.
26
00:03:30,126 --> 00:03:32,006
No, Tavistock.
27
00:03:32,166 --> 00:03:34,046
If I should not be in the way.
28
00:03:36,806 --> 00:03:37,965
Oh my dear Watson,
29
00:03:38,686 --> 00:03:41,166
you would confer a great
favour upon me by coming.
30
00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:43,863
I'm sure your time
will not be misspent.
31
00:03:43,887 --> 00:03:46,526
The case promises to
be absolutely unique.
32
00:03:47,766 --> 00:03:49,463
We can just catch our
train from Paddington.
33
00:03:49,487 --> 00:03:52,687
Oh Watson, would you be so kind
as to bring your field glasses?
34
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,847
Mrs. Hudson, were off to Dartmoor.
35
00:04:30,688 --> 00:04:31,847
Tickets please.
36
00:04:34,089 --> 00:04:35,248
Thank you, Inspector.
37
00:04:35,368 --> 00:04:36,528
Thank you.
38
00:04:47,569 --> 00:04:49,090
Watson, we're going well.
39
00:04:49,970 --> 00:04:55,330
Our speed at present is
fifty-three and half miles an hour.
40
00:04:56,570 --> 00:04:59,706
I've not observed the
quarter mile post.
41
00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:00,889
Nor have I.
42
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:06,050
But the telegraphed posts
on this line are sixty yards apart.
43
00:05:07,411 --> 00:05:08,930
The calculation is a simple one.
44
00:05:16,451 --> 00:05:18,467
Has that remarkably,
colored, sporting paper
45
00:05:18,491 --> 00:05:20,531
anything to say on the
subject of our horse?
46
00:05:20,771 --> 00:05:21,787
What?
47
00:05:21,811 --> 00:05:24,291
Oh, yes.
48
00:05:24,731 --> 00:05:25,890
Yes.
49
00:05:30,131 --> 00:05:31,291
Here we are.
50
00:05:32,011 --> 00:05:37,068
Silver Blaze.
Silver Blaze is from Isonomy stock.
51
00:05:37,092 --> 00:05:38,251
Isonomy...
52
00:05:38,412 --> 00:05:41,452
And holds as brilliant a record
as his famous ancestor.
53
00:05:42,412 --> 00:05:44,052
He's now in his fifth year
54
00:05:44,492 --> 00:05:47,253
and has brought in turn
each of the prize of the turf
55
00:05:47,572 --> 00:05:49,652
to Colonel Ross his
fortunate owner.
56
00:05:51,013 --> 00:05:52,812
At the time of the catastrophe
57
00:05:53,493 --> 00:05:55,693
he was first favored
for the Wessex Cup.
58
00:05:56,093 --> 00:05:58,693
The odds quoted being
two to one against.
59
00:05:59,613 --> 00:06:02,613
He's always been a prime favorite
of the racing public
60
00:06:02,853 --> 00:06:04,773
and has never yet
disappointed them.
61
00:06:06,254 --> 00:06:09,973
In spite of the unfavorable prize, a great
deal of money has been placed upon him
62
00:06:10,494 --> 00:06:12,533
so it is obvious, therefore,
that there are
63
00:06:12,893 --> 00:06:17,094
many people with the strongest
interest in preventing Silver Blaze
64
00:06:17,653 --> 00:06:19,854
from being there at
the fall of the flag.
65
00:06:32,654 --> 00:06:35,847
All right, Baynes, will you stop here
please, cause this is a rather good view.
66
00:06:37,455 --> 00:06:40,775
Now that's King's Pyland
over there Mr. Holmes.
67
00:06:41,175 --> 00:06:43,677
You know my training stable
where the missing horse was kept.
68
00:06:43,815 --> 00:06:46,855
What exactly does your establishment
consist of, Colonel Ross?
69
00:06:47,256 --> 00:06:50,456
Well, there's the trainer's house,
70
00:06:50,495 --> 00:06:53,815
where poor Straker lived with
his wife and a maidservant.
71
00:06:54,175 --> 00:06:55,896
How long had he been with you sir?
72
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:58,552
Oh, five years as jockey
73
00:06:58,576 --> 00:07:00,502
until he got too heavy
for the weighing chair.
74
00:07:00,575 --> 00:07:03,376
Then seven years as my trainer.
75
00:07:04,256 --> 00:07:05,977
Yes, he was a first class man.
76
00:07:07,056 --> 00:07:08,656
And I presume the stables
are beyond?
77
00:07:08,696 --> 00:07:11,697
Yes, yes not a big yard,
it's a good one.
78
00:07:12,136 --> 00:07:14,753
My thought is quality not quantity.
79
00:07:14,777 --> 00:07:17,553
As anyone connected with the turf
will tell you, Mr. Holmes.
80
00:07:17,577 --> 00:07:19,257
Yes, thank you, Inspector.
You see,
81
00:07:19,857 --> 00:07:23,193
at the moment I've only five
horses in the yard.
82
00:07:23,217 --> 00:07:26,697
I see you have two of them entered
for the Wessex Cup, Colonel Ross.
83
00:07:26,737 --> 00:07:29,617
That's right, yes.
Yes, Silver Blaze and Bayard.
84
00:07:30,298 --> 00:07:33,818
But between us Bayard is
intended for a pacemaker.
85
00:07:34,418 --> 00:07:36,834
Well with such valuable
animals under his charge,
86
00:07:36,858 --> 00:07:39,898
I imagine your trainer Mr. Straker
must have taken some precautions.
87
00:07:40,018 --> 00:07:41,498
Oh yes indeed.
88
00:07:42,098 --> 00:07:44,538
Three stable lads
lived with the horses
89
00:07:44,858 --> 00:07:48,554
and after dark one of the lads
was always on duty in the stables
90
00:07:48,578 --> 00:07:50,458
while the other two
sleep above in loft.
91
00:07:52,738 --> 00:07:54,550
Is that another training
stable over there?
92
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:56,618
Yes, that's Mapleton.
93
00:07:57,258 --> 00:07:58,699
Lord Backwater's yard.
94
00:07:58,898 --> 00:08:02,075
Lord Backwater?
Lord Backwater owns Desberly,
95
00:08:02,099 --> 00:08:03,835
second favorite
for the Wessex Cup.
96
00:08:03,859 --> 00:08:07,499
This is not a bad horse.
Not in the same class as Silver Blaze.
97
00:08:08,979 --> 00:08:12,299
Fellow called, Silas Brown,
98
00:08:12,499 --> 00:08:15,100
trains for Backwater,
I can't stick the fellow himself.
99
00:08:15,459 --> 00:08:17,020
Nor could Straker come to that.
100
00:08:18,099 --> 00:08:20,059
There's a natural rivalry I presume.
101
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,660
Rather more than that.
102
00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:24,957
- Shall we drive on?
- Yes, indeed.
103
00:08:24,981 --> 00:08:26,220
All right, Baynes.
104
00:08:31,221 --> 00:08:32,381
Inspector Gregory,
105
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,516
are there any further developments
as to the whereabouts of the horse?
106
00:08:35,540 --> 00:08:36,700
Nothing at all.
107
00:08:37,221 --> 00:08:40,021
We have made very little progress
in that direction.
108
00:08:40,741 --> 00:08:43,421
I can't imagine how a
horse like Silver Blaze
109
00:08:43,501 --> 00:08:45,597
could go missing for so
long in a place like this.
110
00:08:45,621 --> 00:08:46,781
Nor can I.
111
00:08:47,822 --> 00:08:50,437
I must tell you Mr. Holmes,
that at first I was not at all taken
112
00:08:50,461 --> 00:08:53,742
with Inspector Gregory's suggestion that
you should be asked to come down here.
113
00:08:54,222 --> 00:08:55,901
I don't like amateurs, you see?
114
00:09:01,662 --> 00:09:03,478
But you did send me
a telegram, Colonel.
115
00:09:03,502 --> 00:09:05,822
Well no one else seems to
be able to find my horse.
116
00:09:07,222 --> 00:09:11,102
If you ask me it's these damn gypsies
wandering all over the moor.
117
00:09:11,742 --> 00:09:13,798
It's a perfect scandal,
I've said so for years.
118
00:09:13,822 --> 00:09:16,719
My men have seen every group
of gypsies on Dartmoor
119
00:09:16,743 --> 00:09:18,423
in the last two days, Colonel.
120
00:09:19,063 --> 00:09:22,303
And searched every stable yard,
quarry and cave in south Devon.
121
00:09:23,023 --> 00:09:24,543
It's an absolute mystery.
122
00:10:01,785 --> 00:10:04,225
I expect a miracle
from you, Mr. Holmes.
123
00:10:16,906 --> 00:10:19,522
Inspector Gregory,
my friends at Scotland Yard tell me
124
00:10:19,546 --> 00:10:22,082
that you're rapidly making
a reputation for yourself
125
00:10:22,106 --> 00:10:23,746
in the English detective service.
126
00:10:24,186 --> 00:10:26,786
I'm a keen student
of your methods too, Mr. Holmes.
127
00:10:26,946 --> 00:10:29,202
I have the two principal
witnesses waiting for you.
128
00:10:29,226 --> 00:10:30,385
Thank you.
129
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:24,549
In here, Mr. Holmes.
130
00:11:24,911 --> 00:11:26,006
Who are they?
131
00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:28,165
Edith Baxter, the maid
and Hunter, the stable boy
132
00:11:28,189 --> 00:11:29,669
who was on duty on Monday night.
133
00:11:39,549 --> 00:11:42,390
It was just a few minutes
after nine o'clock, sir.
134
00:11:44,190 --> 00:11:46,926
I was carrying Mr. Hunter supper
across from the house.
135
00:11:46,950 --> 00:11:48,510
Awe, but Miss Baxter,
136
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:51,750
what did the supper consist of?
137
00:11:52,151 --> 00:11:54,150
It was a dish of
curried mutton, sir.
138
00:12:35,832 --> 00:12:37,912
Suddenly I heard a man's voice.
139
00:12:38,272 --> 00:12:40,713
Did not give me a turn,
I can tell you sir.
140
00:12:42,753 --> 00:12:43,913
Excuse me, Miss.
141
00:12:44,033 --> 00:12:45,312
What do you want, sir?
142
00:12:46,633 --> 00:12:48,473
Can you tell me where I am?
143
00:12:48,673 --> 00:12:50,769
I'd almost made up my
mind to sleep on the moor
144
00:12:50,793 --> 00:12:51,969
when I saw the light.
145
00:12:51,993 --> 00:12:54,313
This is King's Pyland
training stable, sir.
146
00:12:56,994 --> 00:12:58,233
What a stroke of luck.
147
00:13:01,474 --> 00:13:05,514
I understand there's stable lad
who sleeps here at night.
148
00:13:06,274 --> 00:13:08,047
No doubt that's his
supper you have there.
149
00:13:09,674 --> 00:13:11,250
I'm sure you wouldn't be too proud
150
00:13:11,274 --> 00:13:13,514
to earn yourself the price of
a new dress would you?
151
00:13:15,074 --> 00:13:16,714
See the boy has this tonight
152
00:13:17,035 --> 00:13:19,211
and you shall have the prettiest
frock money can buy.
153
00:13:19,235 --> 00:13:20,394
I couldn't!
154
00:13:22,554 --> 00:13:23,713
Ned!
155
00:13:23,835 --> 00:13:24,994
Ned!
156
00:13:25,635 --> 00:13:26,794
Ned!
157
00:13:26,995 --> 00:13:30,475
There's a man stopped me out there.
I'm ever so frightened.
158
00:13:30,515 --> 00:13:32,870
- What did he want?
-He asked after you.
159
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:34,371
He asked me to
give you something.
160
00:13:34,395 --> 00:13:35,554
What was it?
161
00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:38,115
I don't know. It was white.
162
00:13:38,156 --> 00:13:40,074
-Where is he now?
- He's gone.
163
00:13:41,515 --> 00:13:43,692
We best cut back to the house.
Quick tell the governor!
164
00:13:43,716 --> 00:13:44,875
Yes Ned.
165
00:14:04,437 --> 00:14:07,397
Good evening
I want a word with you.
166
00:14:07,677 --> 00:14:09,037
What business have you here?
167
00:14:09,237 --> 00:14:12,157
It's a business that may put
something in your pocket, my lad.
168
00:14:13,477 --> 00:14:16,237
Now you've two horses
entering the Wessex Cup,
169
00:14:16,517 --> 00:14:17,998
Silver Blaze and Bayard.
170
00:14:18,917 --> 00:14:21,477
Let me have the straight tip
and you won't be the loser.
171
00:14:22,757 --> 00:14:25,574
Is it the fact that at the weights Bayard
can give the other a hundred yards
172
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:26,894
and five furlongs in the...
173
00:14:26,918 --> 00:14:29,518
You won't get any tips
around here, get out!
174
00:14:38,239 --> 00:14:40,079
After him boy, after him!
175
00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:46,958
The governor and the others
came down soon enough.
176
00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:49,295
We found not a sight
or sound of the man.
177
00:14:49,319 --> 00:14:50,478
One moment.
178
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:54,295
When you let the dog out did you
leave the door open behind you?
179
00:14:54,319 --> 00:14:57,599
Oh excellent, Watson, excellent.
It's just the point I was going to make.
180
00:14:58,199 --> 00:15:00,536
I locked the door behind me sir.
I swear it.
181
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,719
Good lad.
182
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,920
Does Fitzroy Simpson
admit to all this?
183
00:15:10,199 --> 00:15:11,440
He denies nothing.
184
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,521
He says he came for information..
185
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,856
What about the white paper?
186
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,880
He says it was a five-pound note.
187
00:15:27,241 --> 00:15:28,400
What happened next?
188
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,560
Well sir,
189
00:15:31,401 --> 00:15:34,377
it was about dawn when the mistress
came into my bedroom
190
00:15:34,401 --> 00:15:35,881
and told me to come with her.
191
00:15:36,922 --> 00:15:40,041
Well when she woke she'd found
Mr. Straker's bed empty.
192
00:15:51,042 --> 00:15:54,283
Heavens! The horse is gone...
193
00:15:55,802 --> 00:15:56,961
And the bridle.
194
00:16:02,803 --> 00:16:04,803
Ned, wake up!
195
00:16:05,163 --> 00:16:06,259
Wake the boys.
196
00:16:06,283 --> 00:16:09,683
Ned! Ned! Wake up.
Wake up, Ned!
197
00:16:10,963 --> 00:16:15,124
Bill, Robbie come quick,
Silver Blaze is gone.
198
00:16:42,004 --> 00:16:43,163
Over here.
199
00:17:27,207 --> 00:17:28,687
He was dead sir.
200
00:17:32,167 --> 00:17:33,326
His head,
201
00:17:35,407 --> 00:17:37,207
it was all knocked in.
202
00:17:41,968 --> 00:17:43,207
It was terrible.
203
00:18:07,729 --> 00:18:09,105
It was a terrible blow on the head
204
00:18:09,129 --> 00:18:11,249
from some blunt instrument
that had killed him.
205
00:18:12,769 --> 00:18:16,089
It was clear that he had
defended himself most vigorously.
206
00:18:16,689 --> 00:18:18,249
The blood stained knife.
207
00:18:19,329 --> 00:18:21,385
As to the wound on the
thigh, who can tell?
208
00:18:21,409 --> 00:18:23,929
Well it is possible that
the wound on the thigh
209
00:18:24,210 --> 00:18:26,129
could have been caused
as Straker fell.
210
00:18:26,290 --> 00:18:27,730
The lad here was drugged.
211
00:18:28,370 --> 00:18:32,330
Appreciable quantities of powered
opium were found in his carry.
212
00:18:33,650 --> 00:18:35,306
Did all the household
eat the same dish?
213
00:18:35,330 --> 00:18:38,930
Yes sir, I made it myself and served it.
214
00:18:42,611 --> 00:18:44,370
This black and red scarf?
215
00:18:45,010 --> 00:18:47,771
The gentleman was wearing that scarf
when he talked to me.
216
00:18:47,971 --> 00:18:50,011
I'd swear that on the Bible, sir.
217
00:18:51,251 --> 00:18:52,410
Thank you Watson.
218
00:18:52,811 --> 00:18:53,970
Thank you.
219
00:19:04,051 --> 00:19:06,652
Stop it boy. Stop it.
Come on. Good dog.
220
00:19:09,332 --> 00:19:10,491
Good boy.
221
00:19:16,692 --> 00:19:19,068
My theory is that Simpson
was under some strong
222
00:19:19,092 --> 00:19:21,829
obligation to Nobble or otherwise
incapacitate this horse
223
00:19:21,853 --> 00:19:24,412
so that he would be unable
to run in the Wessex Cup.
224
00:19:24,693 --> 00:19:26,749
Clever move that, putting
opium in the boy's food
225
00:19:26,773 --> 00:19:28,188
and easy enough
through that window.
226
00:19:28,212 --> 00:19:30,172
Yes. Then it was simple.
227
00:19:30,613 --> 00:19:34,013
He obtained a duplicate key,
led out the horse,
228
00:19:34,293 --> 00:19:37,694
it was his bad luck that Straker was
alert enough to catch him up on the moor,
229
00:19:38,013 --> 00:19:39,933
in the struggle the horse bolted.
230
00:19:40,053 --> 00:19:43,294
That's no proof
that Simpson killed Straker.
231
00:19:43,494 --> 00:19:45,349
Well the evidence against
him is very strong.
232
00:19:45,373 --> 00:19:47,550
He was undoubtedly here
on some devious business.
233
00:19:47,574 --> 00:19:48,830
He poisoned the stable lad.
234
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:51,349
He had in his hand a heavy stick
weighted with lead
235
00:19:51,373 --> 00:19:53,613
and his scarf was found
in the dead man's hand
236
00:19:53,854 --> 00:19:56,432
And he went pale as death when
I confronted him with that fact.
237
00:19:56,574 --> 00:19:58,910
I really think we have enough
to go before a jury.
238
00:19:58,934 --> 00:20:00,654
No, no, no.
239
00:20:00,854 --> 00:20:04,254
Inspector, a clever councellor
would tear it all to rags.
240
00:20:05,575 --> 00:20:07,935
Has a duplicate key been
found in his possession?
241
00:20:07,971 --> 00:20:08,750
No.
242
00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:10,751
Well what chemist sold
him the powered opium?
243
00:20:10,775 --> 00:20:14,111
And above all how could he, a stranger
in this district, hide a horse
244
00:20:14,135 --> 00:20:15,511
and such a horse as Silver Blaze?
245
00:20:15,535 --> 00:20:18,135
I agree the evidence is circumstantial
246
00:20:18,455 --> 00:20:21,375
but I think the net is drawn
pretty tightly around Fitzroy Simpson
247
00:20:21,615 --> 00:20:23,135
and I believe he is our man.
248
00:20:25,095 --> 00:20:28,416
What sort of fellow is he and
why would he do such a thing?
249
00:20:28,935 --> 00:20:32,175
Fitzroy Simpson is a man of
excellent birth and dedication.
250
00:20:32,576 --> 00:20:35,443
Unfortunately he has
squandered a fortune on the turf,
251
00:20:35,468 --> 00:20:38,712
which has put him in the hands of
moneylenders and unscrupulous bookmakers.
252
00:20:38,736 --> 00:20:40,352
Plenty of those sharks
in the racing world.
253
00:20:40,376 --> 00:20:41,913
I didn't know that you were
a betting man, Watson.
254
00:20:41,937 --> 00:20:46,016
What? Oh, just the occasional flutter.
255
00:20:47,137 --> 00:20:49,217
I presume an inventory
has been made
256
00:20:50,257 --> 00:20:52,753
of what Straker had in his pockets
at the time of his death?
257
00:20:52,777 --> 00:20:54,593
I have the things themselves
in the sitting room
258
00:20:54,617 --> 00:20:55,968
if you would care to see them.
259
00:21:17,778 --> 00:21:19,298
Weiss & Co., London.
260
00:21:21,859 --> 00:21:22,874
From the bloodstains, I presume,
261
00:21:22,898 --> 00:21:25,115
this is the knife that was found
in the dead man's grasp.
262
00:21:25,139 --> 00:21:26,298
Yes indeed.
263
00:21:26,499 --> 00:21:28,059
This is more in your line, Doctor.
264
00:21:29,339 --> 00:21:32,579
This is what we call
a cataract knife.
265
00:21:32,699 --> 00:21:35,635
Very delicate blade devised for
very delicate work.
266
00:21:35,659 --> 00:21:38,659
Strange thing for a man to take
on so rough an expedition, Holmes,
267
00:21:39,899 --> 00:21:41,635
especially as it wouldn't
shut in his pocket.
268
00:21:41,659 --> 00:21:43,916
Awe, the tip was guarded
by a disc of cork,
269
00:21:43,940 --> 00:21:45,235
which we found beside the body.
270
00:21:45,259 --> 00:21:46,715
You impress me, Inspector.
271
00:21:46,739 --> 00:21:49,476
Thank you. Mrs. Straker says
it was on the dressing table.
272
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:51,196
It was probably the nearest
thing to him at the time.
273
00:21:51,220 --> 00:21:52,379
I see.
274
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,340
I see.
275
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:56,900
Corn merchants bill.
276
00:21:58,340 --> 00:22:00,260
Instructions from Colonel Ross.
277
00:22:01,221 --> 00:22:02,580
Ah what have we here?
278
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:06,957
A milliner's account for
37 pounds fifteen shillings
279
00:22:06,981 --> 00:22:09,381
for a Madame Lesurier,
of Bond Street, London,
280
00:22:10,381 --> 00:22:11,877
to a Mr. William Derbyshire.
281
00:22:11,901 --> 00:22:14,237
Mrs. Straker tells us that Derbyshire
was a friend of her husband's
282
00:22:14,261 --> 00:22:16,379
and on occasionally had
his letters addressed here.
283
00:22:17,661 --> 00:22:19,101
Twenty-two guineas.
284
00:22:20,061 --> 00:22:22,661
Somewhat heavy for
a single costume.
285
00:22:23,422 --> 00:22:25,397
Mrs. Derbyshire had
rather expensive taste.
286
00:22:25,421 --> 00:22:26,580
Yes.
287
00:22:26,821 --> 00:22:29,438
Well there appears to be nothing
more to learn here, Inspector,
288
00:22:29,462 --> 00:22:30,758
shall we move onto the
scene of the crime?
289
00:22:30,782 --> 00:22:31,941
Yes, of course.
290
00:22:38,302 --> 00:22:39,461
After you Watson.
291
00:22:43,942 --> 00:22:45,502
Have you got them, Inspector?
292
00:22:47,182 --> 00:22:48,583
Is there any more news?
293
00:22:49,343 --> 00:22:50,943
I'm afraid not, Mrs. Straker.
294
00:22:51,742 --> 00:22:53,319
But Mr. Holmes and Doctor Watson
295
00:22:53,343 --> 00:22:55,103
have come down from
London to help us.
296
00:22:56,382 --> 00:22:58,270
I assure you we're doing
everything possible.
297
00:22:59,263 --> 00:23:01,224
I wish you good luck, Mr. Holmes.
298
00:23:01,383 --> 00:23:04,743
Oh thank you madam and my
commiserations on your great loss.
299
00:23:05,863 --> 00:23:07,303
Surely we've met?
300
00:23:08,463 --> 00:23:12,024
At a garden party
in Plymouth some time ago.
301
00:23:13,304 --> 00:23:15,520
No sir. You are mistaken.
302
00:23:15,544 --> 00:23:17,504
No, do you know I
could have sworn it.
303
00:23:18,304 --> 00:23:21,665
You wore a costume
of dove-colored silk
304
00:23:22,145 --> 00:23:23,744
with ostrich feather trimming.
305
00:23:25,344 --> 00:23:27,425
I never had such a dress, sir.
306
00:23:30,585 --> 00:23:32,104
That quite settles it.
Thank you.
307
00:23:38,465 --> 00:23:40,681
That is the bush where
the coat was hanging.
308
00:23:40,705 --> 00:23:43,545
- What was the weather like?
- Calm, bit of rain about.
309
00:23:44,585 --> 00:23:47,121
And the coat was not blown against
the bush but placed there?
310
00:23:47,145 --> 00:23:48,162
Oh yes, it was placed.
311
00:23:48,186 --> 00:23:49,385
Inspector!
312
00:23:49,826 --> 00:23:51,626
No, no, no!
313
00:23:54,226 --> 00:23:57,065
So many people have
trampled around this land.
314
00:24:01,186 --> 00:24:02,826
There have been many people here.
315
00:24:03,026 --> 00:24:04,962
That piece of matting
has been placed there
316
00:24:04,986 --> 00:24:06,242
and we have all stood upon there.
317
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:07,467
Not the general public.
318
00:24:08,026 --> 00:24:09,185
I have in this bag.
319
00:24:10,107 --> 00:24:11,947
One of the boots
John Straker wore,
320
00:24:13,267 --> 00:24:15,147
one of Fitzroy Simpson's shoes,
321
00:24:16,787 --> 00:24:19,467
and a cast horseshoe
of Silver Blaze.
322
00:24:19,587 --> 00:24:20,746
Thank you, Inspector.
323
00:25:31,550 --> 00:25:35,111
Half burned wax candle.
324
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:39,431
I cannot understand how
I came to overlook them.
325
00:25:39,591 --> 00:25:41,551
Oh they're invisible
buried in the mud.
326
00:25:42,471 --> 00:25:44,367
I only saw them because
I was looking for them.
327
00:25:44,391 --> 00:25:47,312
What, you expected to find them?
328
00:25:47,751 --> 00:25:49,072
I thought it not unlikely.
329
00:25:52,791 --> 00:25:54,432
I'm afraid there
are no more tracks.
330
00:25:54,792 --> 00:25:57,409
I've examined the ground for
a hundred yards in every direction.
331
00:25:58,552 --> 00:25:59,711
What a pleasant evening.
332
00:26:00,352 --> 00:26:02,688
I think I'll take a walk,
stretch my legs Watson?
333
00:26:02,712 --> 00:26:05,008
- Yes, indeed.
- I'll take this for luck.
334
00:26:05,032 --> 00:26:06,289
I have some work
to do in the house,
335
00:26:06,313 --> 00:26:08,752
then Colonel Ross is coming
to take us back to Tavistock.
336
00:26:12,433 --> 00:26:13,592
Good evening, Constable.
337
00:27:00,235 --> 00:27:04,115
Suppose that Silver Blaze broke away,
where would he have gone?
338
00:27:05,156 --> 00:27:08,115
If he'd run loose on the moor
he'd have surely been seen by now.
339
00:27:09,035 --> 00:27:10,452
Perhaps the gypsy theory's correct.
340
00:27:10,476 --> 00:27:11,796
No, no, no, no.
341
00:27:12,875 --> 00:27:17,076
A horse is a most
gregarious creature.
342
00:27:19,596 --> 00:27:21,332
Now he did not go
back to King's Pyland
343
00:27:21,356 --> 00:27:23,716
to his own stable,
so he must have gone...
344
00:27:25,476 --> 00:27:26,635
to Mapleton.
345
00:27:29,036 --> 00:27:31,156
Now let us use that as
a working hypothesis.
346
00:27:32,557 --> 00:27:35,597
The ground around here is very hard
and dry, but over there
347
00:27:35,957 --> 00:27:38,797
in that hollow it must have been
very wet on Monday night.
348
00:27:40,997 --> 00:27:42,837
If our supposition is correct,
349
00:27:44,277 --> 00:27:45,637
he must have crossed it.
350
00:28:02,158 --> 00:28:03,317
Watson!
351
00:28:12,999 --> 00:28:14,798
By George, look at that.
352
00:28:17,998 --> 00:28:20,495
You see the value of imagination
353
00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:23,479
is the one quality
which Inspector Gregory lacks.
354
00:28:23,959 --> 00:28:27,159
We imagined what might have
happened, acted upon the supposition,
355
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,639
and find ourselves justified.
Let us proceed.
356
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,481
Look! Look!
357
00:29:10,681 --> 00:29:18,042
Horse and man turned.
358
00:29:41,522 --> 00:29:45,403
No loitering around here.
Haven't you got eyes in your head.
359
00:29:46,003 --> 00:29:47,604
I only wanted to ask you
a question.
360
00:29:47,723 --> 00:29:49,659
Should I be too early
to see Mr. Silas Brown,
361
00:29:49,683 --> 00:29:52,185
if I was to call around here
at five-thirty tomorrow morning?
362
00:29:52,563 --> 00:29:54,444
I shouldn't be speaking
to you by rights.
363
00:29:59,404 --> 00:30:00,563
Here lad.
364
00:30:09,724 --> 00:30:11,924
Mr. Brown's the early bird
around here all right,
365
00:30:12,284 --> 00:30:15,500
Dawson, what are you doing
gossiping with strangers?
366
00:30:15,524 --> 00:30:16,925
Be about your business.
367
00:30:19,485 --> 00:30:21,661
Now what the devil do
you two want around here?
368
00:30:21,685 --> 00:30:23,581
Just a few minutes of
your time, Mr. Brown.
369
00:30:23,605 --> 00:30:28,125
Be off with you or you'll find
the dog on your heels.
370
00:30:28,805 --> 00:30:32,222
Why should I talk every
gadabout stranger on the moor?
371
00:30:32,246 --> 00:30:38,365
It may save you instant dismissal
from Lord Blackwater's service
372
00:30:39,125 --> 00:30:41,206
and the stiffest prison sentence.
373
00:30:51,126 --> 00:30:52,285
Keep guard.
374
00:31:01,886 --> 00:31:04,767
Early Tuesday morning,
375
00:31:06,167 --> 00:31:08,407
you're about the yard as usual,
376
00:31:09,607 --> 00:31:13,887
when you saw a horse on the moor.
377
00:31:16,368 --> 00:31:19,023
When you approached it you realized
that it wasn't a strange horse at all.
378
00:31:19,047 --> 00:31:21,847
It was one that you knew, very well.
379
00:31:23,687 --> 00:31:26,168
Your first instinct
was to lead Silver...
380
00:31:27,728 --> 00:31:31,224
Silver Blaze back to King's Pyland
381
00:31:31,248 --> 00:31:33,808
but then the devil put
other ideas into your head.
382
00:31:35,969 --> 00:31:38,048
You have a chance to make
a great deal of money.
383
00:31:40,249 --> 00:31:43,769
It occurred to you that if
you were to hide the horse...
384
00:31:48,370 --> 00:31:52,289
You've been watching me,
haven't you?
385
00:31:54,049 --> 00:31:56,449
You've been spying on me, sir.
386
00:32:04,490 --> 00:32:06,530
Now. Sir.
387
00:32:09,330 --> 00:32:11,570
I do what you want.
388
00:32:20,971 --> 00:32:27,331
If it's money you want,
you shall have it.
389
00:32:36,571 --> 00:32:38,292
You will do exactly as I tell you.
390
00:32:49,252 --> 00:32:52,948
A more perfect compound
of the bully, coward and sneak
391
00:32:52,972 --> 00:32:55,109
that Master Silas Brown.
I've seldom met with.
392
00:32:55,133 --> 00:32:57,211
- He has the horse then?
- Of course.
393
00:32:57,573 --> 00:32:59,109
But his stables have been searched.
394
00:32:59,133 --> 00:33:01,812
An old faker like him
knows many a dodge.
395
00:33:03,687 --> 00:33:05,389
Watson, I didn't know
whether you observed
396
00:33:05,413 --> 00:33:08,613
but Colonel Ross manner
has been somewhat cavalier.
397
00:33:09,133 --> 00:33:11,709
I'm inclined to have a little
amusement at his expense.
398
00:33:11,733 --> 00:33:13,350
Say nothing to him
about the horse.
399
00:33:13,374 --> 00:33:15,573
I shall say nothing
without your permission.
400
00:33:15,613 --> 00:33:16,772
Splendid.
401
00:33:17,774 --> 00:33:20,870
We have found traces which show
that a party of gypsies encamped
402
00:33:20,894 --> 00:33:24,214
on Monday night within a mile
of where the murder took place.
403
00:33:24,734 --> 00:33:27,390
Fitzroy Simpson may well have
an understanding with them
404
00:33:27,414 --> 00:33:28,934
over hiding the horse.
405
00:33:29,694 --> 00:33:32,574
Nevertheless, I think
I owe it to the public
406
00:33:33,535 --> 00:33:36,470
to remove Silver Blaze's name
for the entrance for the cup.
407
00:33:36,494 --> 00:33:39,455
No, certainly not! Colonel,
I should let the name stand.
408
00:33:39,735 --> 00:33:41,230
But I've already withdrawn Bayard.
409
00:33:41,254 --> 00:33:45,350
But I have every hope that Silver
Blaze will start on Saturday.
410
00:33:45,374 --> 00:33:46,725
Have your jockey at readiness.
411
00:33:47,615 --> 00:33:49,735
I'm very glad to have
your opinion, sir.
412
00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:53,111
That is a minor point, of course,
413
00:33:53,135 --> 00:33:56,615
compared with the question
of who killed John Straker.
414
00:33:56,895 --> 00:33:59,231
Doubtless you will be devoting
yourself to that problem.
415
00:33:59,255 --> 00:34:01,736
On the contrary,
Doctor Watson and I
416
00:34:02,016 --> 00:34:04,375
were taking the Night
Express to London.
417
00:34:04,896 --> 00:34:09,056
We've had the most charming little
breath of your country air.
418
00:34:11,137 --> 00:34:14,776
So you've despaired already of arresting
the murderer of poor John Straker.
419
00:34:15,896 --> 00:34:18,057
With our certain grave difficulties.
420
00:34:19,136 --> 00:34:20,756
Do you have the
photograph of Straker?
421
00:34:22,016 --> 00:34:24,777
Thank you, Inspector. I am quite
ready now for Tavistock.
422
00:34:25,817 --> 00:34:26,976
Linger.
423
00:34:30,017 --> 00:34:34,697
I must say I am rather disappointed
in our London consultant.
424
00:34:35,097 --> 00:34:37,254
I don't see that were any
further than when he came.
425
00:34:37,377 --> 00:34:40,457
But at least you have his assurance
Colonel that your horse will run.
426
00:34:40,578 --> 00:34:44,073
Oh yes, I have his assurance.
I should prefer to have the horse.
427
00:34:44,097 --> 00:34:46,498
I think you should heed
Mr. Holmes advice, Colonel.
428
00:34:48,298 --> 00:34:49,457
Well I shall have to see.
429
00:35:01,898 --> 00:35:03,819
Excuse me, whom looks after
these sheep?
430
00:35:03,978 --> 00:35:05,138
I do, sir.
431
00:35:05,699 --> 00:35:07,395
Have you noticed
anything amiss of late?
432
00:35:08,499 --> 00:35:09,658
No sir.
433
00:35:10,139 --> 00:35:12,780
Well it's not much account,
but three of them have gone lame.
434
00:35:16,179 --> 00:35:17,338
Thank you.
435
00:35:19,940 --> 00:35:22,500
A long shot, Watson, a very
long shot. After you.
436
00:35:23,140 --> 00:35:24,915
Inspector I would like
to recommend to you
437
00:35:24,939 --> 00:35:27,739
the singular epidemic
among the sheep.
438
00:35:29,020 --> 00:35:31,180
You really consider
that to be important?
439
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:32,620
Exceedingly so.
440
00:35:34,381 --> 00:35:35,580
All right Baynes.
441
00:35:47,181 --> 00:35:50,701
Is there any other point to which you
wish to draw my attention, Mr. Holmes?
442
00:35:52,861 --> 00:35:56,621
To the curious incident
of the dog in the nighttime.
443
00:35:57,221 --> 00:35:59,102
But the dog did nothing
in the nighttime.
444
00:36:00,181 --> 00:36:01,833
That is the curious incident.
445
00:36:31,976 --> 00:36:33,519
Where the devil is
my horse, Holmes?
446
00:36:33,576 --> 00:36:35,416
No, no, no, no.
Where the devil is he?
447
00:36:35,856 --> 00:36:39,056
I suppose, Colonel, that you would
recognize him if you saw him?
448
00:36:39,576 --> 00:36:40,896
Know my own horse?
449
00:36:42,303 --> 00:36:43,872
I have been on the
turf for twenty years
450
00:36:43,896 --> 00:36:46,576
and I've never been asked
such a damn fool question before.
451
00:36:47,097 --> 00:36:49,057
A child would know Silver Blaze
452
00:36:49,176 --> 00:36:52,536
with the white star on his
forehead and mottled hind leg.
453
00:36:53,817 --> 00:36:56,416
I suppose you realize
if my horse doesn't run,
454
00:36:56,576 --> 00:36:58,352
quite a part from being
lynched by the crowd,
455
00:36:58,376 --> 00:37:00,096
I shall be up before the Stewards.
456
00:37:00,696 --> 00:37:03,713
Probably warned off every
racecourse in England for life.
457
00:37:03,737 --> 00:37:04,993
Reputation ruined.
458
00:37:05,017 --> 00:37:07,297
Awe, let us hope it does
not come to that, Colonel.
459
00:37:07,857 --> 00:37:09,016
Here's Doctor Watson.
460
00:37:12,537 --> 00:37:16,017
And this, Colonel,
461
00:37:17,697 --> 00:37:18,978
is your horse.
462
00:37:20,217 --> 00:37:22,337
But that's not my horse, Holmes!
463
00:37:23,657 --> 00:37:25,297
Good God man, what have you done?
464
00:37:51,419 --> 00:37:56,178
There Colonel is your Silver Blaze.
465
00:37:58,259 --> 00:38:00,058
I found him in the hands of a faker
466
00:38:00,618 --> 00:38:02,938
and brought him to the
course just as he was.
467
00:38:07,299 --> 00:38:08,458
Good heavens.
468
00:38:11,338 --> 00:38:13,539
You take my breath away, Mr. Holmes.
469
00:38:57,420 --> 00:38:58,579
Silver Blaze.
470
00:38:58,901 --> 00:39:01,636
If he runs me lord
to win a place me lord?
471
00:39:01,660 --> 00:39:03,140
To win, of course.
472
00:39:06,180 --> 00:39:07,741
Any more like you at home?
473
00:39:28,221 --> 00:39:31,861
Come on! What's the matter
with the damn horse?
474
00:39:32,141 --> 00:39:33,861
What have you done to him Holmes?
475
00:39:34,422 --> 00:39:36,501
He seems to be missing
his pacemaker.
476
00:39:37,061 --> 00:39:38,918
I should have never
withdrawn Bayard.
477
00:39:38,942 --> 00:39:41,462
Wait a minute he's breaking through.
478
00:39:44,381 --> 00:39:48,182
Come on Silver Blaze.
Come on Silver Blaze.
479
00:39:49,782 --> 00:39:51,742
Go on. Go on.
Go on. Go on.
480
00:40:19,263 --> 00:40:21,462
You've done wonders Mr. Holmes,
481
00:40:21,622 --> 00:40:26,342
and I owe you a thousand apologies
for having doubted your ability.
482
00:40:27,303 --> 00:40:31,878
Now you've done me a great service
by recovering my horse.
483
00:40:31,902 --> 00:40:33,359
You'd do me a greater still
484
00:40:33,383 --> 00:40:36,639
if you could lay your hands
on the murderer of John Straker.
485
00:40:36,663 --> 00:40:37,822
I've done so.
486
00:40:38,743 --> 00:40:42,279
What? What's all this about
if you got him. Where is he then?
487
00:40:42,303 --> 00:40:43,463
He's here.
488
00:40:43,743 --> 00:40:45,063
Here! Where?
489
00:40:45,303 --> 00:40:47,383
Some who's now present
at this very moment.
490
00:40:49,583 --> 00:40:53,039
Yes, I quite recognize that I'm under
obligations to you Mr. Holmes,
491
00:40:53,063 --> 00:40:55,863
but this either a very
bad joke or an insult.
492
00:40:56,264 --> 00:40:59,304
Oh the real murderer, Colonel, is
Standing immediately behind you.
493
00:41:01,143 --> 00:41:02,303
What the horse?
494
00:41:02,783 --> 00:41:03,943
Yes, the horse.
495
00:41:05,344 --> 00:41:07,623
And it may lessen his guilt if I say
496
00:41:08,184 --> 00:41:11,904
that it was done
entirely in self-defense,
497
00:41:12,784 --> 00:41:14,184
and that John Straker
498
00:41:15,904 --> 00:41:18,144
was a man quite
unworthy of your trust.
499
00:41:27,705 --> 00:41:29,064
Number four, sir, winner.
500
00:41:50,785 --> 00:41:51,944
Come Ross.
501
00:41:54,465 --> 00:41:55,624
Yes, thank you very much.
502
00:42:13,186 --> 00:42:14,466
Thank you very much.
503
00:42:20,026 --> 00:42:22,266
- Number twelve.
- Number twelve.
504
00:42:33,826 --> 00:42:35,586
Very proud of it. Very proud.
505
00:42:37,507 --> 00:42:39,426
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
506
00:42:56,267 --> 00:42:58,283
I confess, gentlemen,
when we came down to King's Pylan,
507
00:42:58,307 --> 00:43:00,987
I was convinced that Fitzroy Simpson
was the true culprit.
508
00:43:01,667 --> 00:43:04,547
All the newspaper and police
reports seemed to point to it.
509
00:43:05,667 --> 00:43:08,347
It was only when I entered
the trainer's house
510
00:43:08,707 --> 00:43:12,883
that the immense significance of
the curried mutton occurred to me.
511
00:43:12,907 --> 00:43:16,267
I confess that even now.
I cannot see how it helps us.
512
00:43:17,228 --> 00:43:20,348
Powdered opium, Colonel
is by no means tasteless.
513
00:43:21,188 --> 00:43:22,508
I am correct?
514
00:43:22,548 --> 00:43:27,404
Oh quite correct. The flavor is not
distasteful but it is perceptible.
515
00:43:27,428 --> 00:43:30,924
Were it mixed with an ordinary dish
the eater would undoubtedly detect it
516
00:43:30,948 --> 00:43:32,428
but would probably eat no more.
517
00:43:32,948 --> 00:43:35,868
Carry was exactly the medium
with which to disguise the taste.
518
00:43:37,029 --> 00:43:40,165
So it must have been
Straker or his wife?
519
00:43:40,189 --> 00:43:41,348
Exactly.
520
00:43:42,909 --> 00:43:45,228
Cause I remember
you spoke of a dog.
521
00:43:51,429 --> 00:43:54,428
Yes, the dog that didn't
bark in the night.
522
00:43:55,708 --> 00:43:57,709
Well someone had
been into the stable
523
00:43:58,028 --> 00:44:00,645
and taken out the horse
and the dog had not barked.
524
00:44:00,669 --> 00:44:04,365
So obviously this midnight visitor
was someone the dog knew well.
525
00:44:04,389 --> 00:44:06,445
I wasn't really convinced
that it was a stranger.
526
00:44:06,469 --> 00:44:09,949
But for what purpose should
he take out the horse, and
527
00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:11,949
drug his own stable boy?
528
00:44:12,749 --> 00:44:14,189
A dishonest one, obviously.
529
00:44:14,549 --> 00:44:15,885
There have been cases before now
530
00:44:15,909 --> 00:44:18,350
where trainers have
made great sums of money by
531
00:44:18,710 --> 00:44:21,949
laying against their own horses and
then preventing them from winning.
532
00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:25,190
Well sometimes you get a pulling
jockey, I will say that.
533
00:44:25,349 --> 00:44:26,509
And sometimes
534
00:44:28,069 --> 00:44:29,990
by surer and most subtler means.
535
00:44:32,230 --> 00:44:33,389
This-
536
00:44:36,350 --> 00:44:41,350
singular knife, it was found
in the dead man's hand
537
00:44:41,870 --> 00:44:46,030
and which no sane man
would use as a weapon, right?
538
00:44:46,470 --> 00:44:49,870
Oh yes, only, only used
in the most delicate operations.
539
00:44:50,350 --> 00:44:53,390
It was used for a very delicate
operation that night.
540
00:44:57,590 --> 00:44:58,749
Excuse me.
541
00:45:03,151 --> 00:45:04,750
As you know, Colonel,
542
00:45:05,431 --> 00:45:09,711
with your wide knowledge
of turf matters
543
00:45:10,591 --> 00:45:15,311
that it is possible to make a slight
nick in the horse's tendon,
544
00:45:16,791 --> 00:45:18,751
and do it, subcutaneously.
545
00:45:29,592 --> 00:45:32,807
Any slight lameness will be put
down to a strain in training
546
00:45:32,831 --> 00:45:34,752
or bruised, never foul play.
547
00:45:35,271 --> 00:45:37,632
Villain! The damn Scoundrel!
548
00:45:38,711 --> 00:45:41,312
Not an operation to be done in
the stable. No food for me.
549
00:45:43,152 --> 00:45:47,472
So sensitive a creature would
arouse the soundest of sleepers.
550
00:45:48,112 --> 00:45:50,032
I've been blind and Gregory too.
551
00:45:50,352 --> 00:45:53,553
Of course, that's why he needed
the candle and struck the match.
552
00:45:55,512 --> 00:45:58,832
When I examined Straker's belongings
I was fortunate enough to discover
553
00:45:59,992 --> 00:46:02,752
not only the method of the crime
but also the motive.
554
00:46:05,553 --> 00:46:08,593
Most men do not carry other people's
bills in their pockets.
555
00:46:10,033 --> 00:46:13,352
From this I concluded that Straker
was leading a double life.
556
00:46:13,832 --> 00:46:17,393
The nature of the bill shows that
there was a woman in the case.
557
00:46:17,993 --> 00:46:19,953
And a woman of expensive taste.
558
00:46:20,873 --> 00:46:22,953
Liberal though you are
with your servants,
559
00:46:23,673 --> 00:46:25,929
I'm sure they're not able to afford
560
00:46:25,953 --> 00:46:30,353
twenty-two guinea, walking
dresses for their ladies.
561
00:46:31,474 --> 00:46:33,714
Mrs. Straker never had
one by her own admission.
562
00:46:35,953 --> 00:46:37,994
When I visited Bond
Street the other morning,
563
00:46:38,673 --> 00:46:42,953
I showed Madame Lesurier
this photograph of Straker.
564
00:46:47,553 --> 00:46:49,034
She recognized him
565
00:46:49,914 --> 00:46:53,513
as an extremely good customer
called William Derbyshire
566
00:46:56,394 --> 00:47:00,434
with a very dashing young wife
with a partiality for expensive dresses.
567
00:47:00,554 --> 00:47:02,354
Women! Women!
568
00:47:03,794 --> 00:47:06,770
I suppose it was she who plunged
him head over heels into debt
569
00:47:06,794 --> 00:47:09,474
and so left him to his miserable plot.
570
00:47:12,234 --> 00:47:17,394
Straker let out Silver Blaze
into the hollow
571
00:47:18,635 --> 00:47:22,275
where his light would not
be visible from the yard.
572
00:47:25,835 --> 00:47:28,715
Simpson in his flight
had dropped his scarf.
573
00:47:29,755 --> 00:47:34,355
Straker picked it up
with the idea, no doubt
574
00:47:34,475 --> 00:47:37,355
that he might use it
in securing the horses leg.
575
00:47:40,835 --> 00:47:43,155
Straker was able to light his candle
576
00:47:44,075 --> 00:47:49,235
but just as he had the knife ready
the horse lashed out
577
00:47:49,675 --> 00:47:52,115
and caught him a fatal
blow on the forehead.
578
00:48:03,115 --> 00:48:06,676
Why? And why did the horse
lash out so suddenly?
579
00:48:06,876 --> 00:48:09,292
Frightened by the candle, the knife?
580
00:48:09,316 --> 00:48:12,596
Well animals have a strange instinct.
581
00:48:13,436 --> 00:48:16,756
They seem to know
when some mischief is intended.
582
00:48:26,316 --> 00:48:28,597
My final shot I must
confess, was a long one.
583
00:48:30,357 --> 00:48:33,157
It struck me that such astute man,
as Straker
584
00:48:33,477 --> 00:48:38,517
would not undertake this tendon-nicking
without a little practice.
585
00:48:45,877 --> 00:48:48,917
The sheep! Of course!
586
00:48:49,277 --> 00:48:50,837
Wonderful, my dear.
587
00:48:52,718 --> 00:48:56,437
Now you've explained
all but one thing.
588
00:48:57,197 --> 00:48:59,798
The horse.
Now where was the horse?
589
00:49:00,558 --> 00:49:02,118
Well I think we must have
590
00:49:04,198 --> 00:49:06,358
a little amnesty in
that direction, Colonel.
591
00:49:09,077 --> 00:49:13,198
It bolted and was looked after
by one of your neighbors.
592
00:49:25,758 --> 00:49:27,639
Gentlemen I give you a toast
593
00:49:28,718 --> 00:49:30,118
to Silver Blaze
594
00:49:30,478 --> 00:49:32,878
coupled with the names
of my friends,
595
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:36,119
Mr. Sherlock Holmes and
Doctor Watson.
596
00:49:43,759 --> 00:49:44,919
To Silver Blaze.
