00:00The End

00:30The End

01:00Cold lobster and sliced tomatoes

01:03Could one possibly conceive of a more ideal marriage, Watson?

01:10Romeo and Juliet were clearly mismated by comparison

01:14Oh, Watson, aren't you going to join me?

01:20Oh, now, surely, Watson, you can't bear a grudge against me forever

01:30For something so trivial

01:33Trivial?

01:37And what is trivial about riddling the walls with bullets?

01:45I do not agree that I riddled the wall, as you so violently put it

01:49I decorated it in a most patriotic manner

01:52Holmes, I have permitted and suffered many liberties in this flat

02:00First you make those evil-smelling gases

02:03Then you shatter my nerves with those ridiculous disguises

02:06But you, even you, have never covered your activities

02:10Under the banner of patriotism

02:12Yes, but we are of the Queen's initials

02:15I was only celebrating Her Majesty's birthday

02:17Celebrating Her Majesty?

02:22Still, that's no excuse

02:23Well, perhaps I was a little overzealous

02:25But you can't very well blame a man for that

02:27Nevertheless

02:27All right, Watson, I solemnly promise never to do it again

02:30And lobster and tomato for breakfast

02:42Have you ever heard of that?

02:43I must say, it looks totally good, huh?

02:46Do you really mean to say you're going to join me?

02:47Yes, please

02:48Oh, come on, let me

02:49That's strange

02:55I didn't expect her until noon

02:57She must have caught the midnight train

02:58Oh, you'll meet her in a minute

03:01Oh, I wouldn't want her to feel that she was intruding

03:04Mr. Holmes

03:14Yes, Miss Millicent Channing

03:16Yes

03:17I wrote you that I'd be here at noon

03:22But I didn't want to lose any time

03:24I took the midnight train

03:25I understand, won't you come in?

03:28This is my good friend and associate, Dr. Watson

03:31How do you do?

03:32How do you do?

03:33Oh, please sit down, Miss Channing

03:35You must have had a very tiring journey

03:36Particularly in view of the fact that you were forced to take a dog cart part of the way

03:41How did you know I took a dog cart?

03:43Well, I noticed that your right sleeve is covered with mud

03:46Only a dog cart throws out mud in such a disagreeable way

03:50Mr. Holmes can also deduce your birthstone

03:53And the serial numbers of any notes you happen to be carrying in your birth

03:58Dr. Watson exaggerates

04:01Though only slightly

04:03I've heard a great deal of your powers, Mr. Holmes

04:06They say you're one of the cleverest men in London

04:09They're very kind

04:10You said in your letter that your fiancé has disappeared

04:13I'm afraid that something terrible has happened to him

04:16Why, Miss Channing?

04:18It's all so muddled

04:20So confused

04:22Several days ago

04:24I was expecting him for dinner

04:26He didn't arrive

04:28I was worried

04:30And I went to his lodgings

04:32Millicent

04:52They say of Moam that won't come to the mountain

04:55Good heavens, we had a dinner date

04:57At eight o'clock

04:58Oh, you must forgive me

04:59I've been so deep in this

05:00It completely slipped my mind

05:01Uh, Millicent

05:03How would you like to marry a full professor of English history

05:08At London University?

05:10I'd much rather marry you, John

05:11I mean me

05:13Well, are you serious?

05:15You still have three years before you can become a professor

05:18It can happen in a month

05:19Next week, perhaps

05:21But how?

05:22Well, you know this research work I've been doing

05:25On 14th century English history

05:27Yes

05:28Well, I have reason to believe

05:30I've made the most amazing

05:31The most fantastic discovery

05:33Oh, tell me

05:34Not until I put my theory to the test

05:37And if I'm right

05:38I can assure you

05:39There will be an immediate cheer for me at the university

05:41And more than that

05:43I'll be famous

05:44Oh, but John

05:45This is unfair keeping me in the dark like this

05:48I promise you

05:49It won't be for long

05:50Tomorrow

05:50I go to see Sir Thomas Greystone at Aberdeen

05:53To get his cooperation

05:54He won't refuse

05:55Because my success will bring him fame also

05:58John

05:59You simply must tell me what

06:01Not another word tonight

06:02I'll tell you everything when I come back the day after tomorrow

06:06Remember

06:09Good things come to those who wait

06:12But he didn't come back

06:15Not the day he told me

06:18Nor the next day

06:19I wired him at Greystone Castle

06:22Asking him to explain the delay

06:24I received this

06:26An answer

06:27John Cartwright, unknown here

06:34Signed Greystone

06:37I didn't know what to make of it, Mr. Holmes

06:40Finally, I decided to go up to Aberdeen

06:44And talk to Sir Thomas Greystone himself

06:46He must have been mistaken

06:56This is it, Chris

07:26Certainly, I don't envy you, Miss

07:47Why?

07:48Is something wrong?

07:50Let's say something isn't right

07:52Ever since the Greystones came upon hard times

07:56They become a strange, mysterious pair

07:59Hardly anyone ever comes to see them

08:01And those that do

08:03Don't waste any time there

08:04If I were you, Miss

08:06I'd wait until it's late

08:08Before I went up

08:09I don't have the time to spare

08:10I'm sure I'll be all right

08:12Suit yourself, Miss

08:14Get out

08:19I'll be right back

08:30I'll be right back

08:32THE END

09:02I would like to see Sir Thomas Greystone, please.

09:32My name is Miss Channing.

09:50Would you please tell him that...

09:52Miss Channing is it?

09:53The lady who sent the telegram?

09:56Yes.

09:57I hope you don't think me foolish coming here in this way, Sir Thomas.

10:01Walter Greystone is my name.

10:04Sir Thomas is my father.

10:07If you've come to make further inquiries about your Mr Cartwright...

10:12Yes, I'd say you were foolish.

10:14We've absolutely no knowledge of the gentleman.

10:17But I can't understand it.

10:19He told me he was coming here to speak to Sir Thomas.

10:22About what?

10:24About a discovery he made while doing some historical research.

10:29He said it was to have brought fame to him and Sir Thomas both.

10:33I can assure you, Miss Channing, no one of that nature has been here.

10:37No one!

10:38But I know he took the 610 train on Tuesday.

10:41I saw him off.

10:42The 610 train makes a dozen stops along the way.

10:45He could have got off at any one of them.

10:47But why?

10:49I've no idea, Miss.

10:52I'm sorry.

10:54I'm upset.

10:55You see, he's my fiancé.

10:58I quite understand.

10:59But there's nothing we can do.

11:02I'm sorry to have troubled you.

11:05One moment, Miss.

11:08That telegram I sent you cost two shillings.

11:10I'll thank you to have him bust me.

11:12Father, be quiet.

11:13I'm not a charitable institution.

11:16Are you Sir Thomas Greystone?

11:18I am.

11:19You didn't say you were.

11:22I didn't say I wasn't.

11:24Two shillings if you please.

11:34Good night, Miss Channing.

11:35Whatever else I felt about the Greystones, I didn't believe they'd lied to me.

11:50Why should they deny they'd seen John?

11:53However, as I made my way through the garden, I found this timetable in the bushes.

12:00I take it that these notes in the margin are in your fiancé's handwriting, Miss Channing.

12:07Yes, Mr. Holmes.

12:09They lied.

12:10He was there.

12:11And for some reason they're trying to deny it.

12:14He had evidently asked directions to the castle and jotted them down in the margin.

12:26Well, it's perfectly evident the Greystones are lying.

12:29But why?

12:30Here's somebody offering them a chance of fame.

12:32They refuse it.

12:33Hmm.

12:34There are considerations more imperative than fame, Watson.

12:37Well, what other considerations, for example?

12:39That is our problem.

12:41You will help me, Mr. Holmes.

12:43I'll do my best, Miss Channing.

12:45Watson, the 14th century contained the reigns of what kings?

12:50Uh, wait a minute.

12:5214th century?

12:53There were some Henrys.

12:55And Richard II, of course.

12:57Richard II.

13:00He was executed, wasn't he?

13:03Yes, at Pontefract Castle, September the 21st, 1300, and, uh...

13:09Miss Channing, I would appreciate your taking me to your fiancé's flat.

13:13To his flat?

13:14But why not to Greystone Castle?

13:16Well, I would rather not go there unarmed.

13:18Why not?

13:19We've both got revolvers.

13:21I am referring, Watson, to information that may have led to the disappearance of Miss Channing's fiancé.

13:27Come along, Miss Channing.

13:29Well, I can't find anything there.

13:45Perhaps you'd have a look, Watson.

13:47Oh, oh, thank you, Miss Channing.

13:53Ah-ha!

13:54So this is what Cartwright found so exciting.

14:03What is it, Holmes?

14:04Well, he certainly deserves his professorship if he understood this.

14:08Listen.

14:09This pledge unto Richard I, Richard, do make.

14:14To return unto Richard, switch from Richard I take.

14:18Let the Richard look on the northern stair.

14:21Then six and seven is not fair.

14:24Press on and through and doon for ten.

14:27Beware thou do not linger then.

14:30If thou art in and wist ye moot get out, smite eaker the lion upon the snoat.

14:36Mitter and Ryan, perfect.

14:38Well, what's it mean?

14:40Well, it's simple enough, Watson.

14:43Look here, Holmes, sometimes I think you'd say that a trip to the moon on an umbrella is simple.

14:47Ah.

14:48Well, analyze it piece by piece.

14:50The first part is nothing more than a receipt.

14:52A receipt?

14:54Certainly.

14:55This pledge unto Richard I, Richard, do make.

14:57To return unto Richard such things as I from Richard take.

15:01Well, apparently Richard had entrusted his possessions to a loyal friend.

15:05And he'd received his promise that they'd be returned.

15:08Yes, yes, I see that.

15:10The rest of the inscription merely tells him how he may get his possessions back.

15:13Hence, let Richard look upon the northern star.

15:17A sort of map, so to speak.

15:19Quite so.

15:20Well, but what's all he's got to do with Cartwright's disappearance?

15:24Well, in Wilkinson's biography of Richard II,

15:27it is mentioned that one of the king's most loyal supporters was Richard Greystone,

15:31the original owner of Greystone Castle.

15:33Cartwright must have had the idea that Richard had left his possessions with him.

15:37So he went up there to prove it?

15:39Yes.

15:40But that still doesn't answer why John hasn't come back.

15:43That answer, Miss Channing, may only be secured at Greystone Castle.

15:48That's strange.

15:49It appears it's been at one here.

15:50That's strange.

15:51It appears it's been at one here.

15:52Oh.

15:53Oh.

15:54Oh.

15:55Oh.

15:56Oh.

15:57Oh.

15:58Oh.

15:59Oh.

16:00Oh.

16:01Oh.

16:02I'll go around and let you in.

16:18Hi.

16:22I'll let you in.

16:23I'll let you in.

16:52Come along and keep close behind me.

17:22This pledge unto Richard I, Richard, do make, to return unto Richard, switch from Richard, I take.

17:49The lower half appears to have been destroyed by fire.

17:53Then there's every chance the King Richard's possessions may not yet have been found.

17:58No, they haven't.

18:02So you brought help, Miss Channing.

18:04Where is he?

18:06What have you done with him?

18:07He's in safekeeping.

18:09In the tower.

18:10Sir.

18:10Since you're here, perhaps you can persuade Mr. Cartwright to tell us the secret of the Greystone inscription.

18:18We shall do nothing of the sort.

18:20He's got some idea of returning Richard's possessions to the Queen for a birthday present.

18:26They're worth a fortune and are rightfully mine.

18:30They rightfully belong to the crown.

18:32We won't have your rights and wrongs.

18:36Weigh this well.

18:37Well, if you can't persuade Mr. Cartwright to talk, then not one of you will leave this room alive.

18:46In that case, I will not hang my fate on another man's decision.

18:50I'll lead you to King Richard's possessions myself.

18:53Holmes!

18:54Why be killed every museum piece, Watson?

18:57Let's re-examine the pledge.

19:00This pledge unto Richard, I, Richard, do make.

19:04To return unto Richard, such as from Richard I take.

19:08We can understand that much without your help.

19:10Go on.

19:10The meaning is perfectly clear.

19:14Whatever treasure may be hidden here belongs to the royal family and to nobody else.

19:22Let Richard look on the northern star.

19:26Well, that gives us the direction.

19:29Does it?

19:30One can look at the north star from any point in this hemisphere.

19:33Your ancestor knew that.

19:35He said, let Richard look.

19:37And he meant this Richard.

19:39In other words, the direction may be found by facing north from this very spot.

19:44I am now facing due north.

19:47Then six and seven is not far.

19:51What does that mean?

19:53Merely to pace off 13 steps.

19:56One.

19:57Two.

19:59Three.

20:00Four.

20:01Five.

20:03Six.

20:04Seven.

20:05Eight.

20:06Nine.

20:07Ten.

20:09Eleven.

20:09Twelve.

20:11Thirteen.

20:14Press on and through and down for ten.

20:17Press.

20:25Stairs.

20:28Through and down for ten.

20:33One.

20:35Two.

20:36Three.

20:37Four.

20:38Four.

20:39Five.

20:40Five.

20:41Six.

20:43Seven.

20:45Eight.

20:47Nine.

20:49Ten.

20:57Here it is.

20:58Here it is.

20:58Ten...

20:58Ten.

20:59One.

21:10Two.

21:20Thanks.

21:20Four.

21:21One.

21:21Three.

21:22Three.

21:23Four.

21:24Nine.

21:24Two.

21:25Three.

21:26Four.

21:27Perils, diamonds, rubies, perils at last.

21:44I've been waiting for this moment for years.

21:57And now, if we may go, I'm afraid I can't let you go.

22:15But you promised.

22:17You take us for fools, you go straight to the authorities.

22:21I plan to enjoy this wealth.

22:25I don't see how, with or without us.

22:35It seems your ancestors arranged for intruders.

22:39You knew this?

22:40I suspected.

22:42Then you must know the way out, otherwise you wouldn't have come in.

22:48Tell me at once, Manor, or I'll shoot you down where you stand.

22:55While only I have the secret to the door?

23:00Half the jewels.

23:02Half the jewels for a way out.

23:09All of them.

23:10Show us how to get out, and we'll let you take them all.

23:14No.

23:15No, they're mine.

23:17Not one.

23:22Not a single gold piece.

23:24Now you're daft, man.

23:25You won't a rock here forever.

23:27The treasure's mine.

23:28The treasure's mine.

23:29You can't let them have it.

23:31Pay no attention.

23:33Give me the gun.

23:36You can have the treasure.

23:39Just the gun, please.

23:41The last two lines of the inscription read, as I recall,

23:45If you're in and can't get out, strike the lion upon the snout.

23:51The man upon the snout?

24:21Well, everything couldn't be better.

24:29The Greystones are in prison, the Cartwrights are together again, and you and I are feasting

24:34on cold lobster and tomatoes.

24:39Well, I have a sense of well-being.

24:45Haven't you the slightest twinge of conscience, Watson?

24:49Conscience? No. Why?

24:51Well, I noticed the gold piece on your watch chain. You filched it from the treasure room.

24:56Filched it? Certainly not. I made an application for it from the Ministry.

25:02Oh, did you? Well, that was very enterprising of you, Watson.

25:05Why don't you do the same thing, Holmes? After all, don't you want a souvenir?

25:09I have one.

25:12Oh, bad.

25:19But, Holmes, a personal letter of thanks from Her Majesty. Why? Why, Holmes, congratulations.

25:28Well done.

25:29Well, thank you, Watson.

25:31Let's start a format.

25:33What do you want?

25:34Oh, my God.

25:36You won good numbers.

25:38Well done.

25:39I've covered everything, Nietzsche, here.

25:41In addition to your accounts you have have!

25:43We've covered everything.

25:46M remind me.

25:48How many Men do tenho veraps?

25:50Oh, like me –ot entire house

25:53That's the way, he Werem, Adam.

25:54Well, let's start a corporate relationship.
