Jeffery sure you have no wish to be fair
hmm excellent specimen of the cop wrist
Carolina you are a sweet old soul aren't
you
I know wish to be a sweet old soul no
wish to be anything but what I am a
disagreeable person who does not intend
to let his sister run off for the first
cocksure Yankee who makes her posses
jump and I suppose Phillip feels the
same way about it
well should it there's no choice in the
matter as my younger brother Phillip
feels precisely as I tell him to he was
dropping again Brandon oh no mr. Phillip
I assure you but I didn't wish to
disturb him what did you hear Brandon
your brother and Miss Ellie were going
at it hammer and tongs about Captain
victory I mean really mr. Jeffrey and
Captain Vickery had an horrible round
this afternoon over Miss Ellie I thought
they were coming to blows indeed I did
cried that'll do now Brandon if I catch
you snooping again I still asked my
brother to give you a notice yes sir
thank you sir
above a bit of snooping yourself are you
Phillip not in the least over

filthy mess the wind came swishing down
the chimney and scattered the ashes
everywhere

room full of smoke papers all over the
floor oh no dr. Watson lady Clarinda
only walks in the West Wing
no one ever met a ghost in this part of
the house story oh there was a now Smith
claimed that she saw Segura's Musgrave
with his aid on backwards in this very
room once she was just a flighty girls
very slightly a most
as a branch and does the wind always
carry on like this he'll freak wouldn't
they say it's a great pity
it makes the gentlemen Restless more
than usual I mean well our patients are

down he must have thought I was done for
any idea who it was
no well that is I yeah oh really I I
haven't did it right you have every
right dr. Sexton as head of this house I
should arrange for an immediate
investigation I'd rather not if you
don't mind sir doctor 16 the fact that
my brother and sister and I have opened
our home to convalescent patients
doesn't relieve us of all responsibility
for what occurs in it I mean under the
peculiar circumstances
come along Bob there's no need to shield
anyone thirteen
13 that's curious let's get into the old
clock nothing nothing at all
Oh sir don't you remember the last time
it did that your father was killed the
next day
[Music]
oh dear so now it's bullet holes in me
plaster Oh mr. Holmes this is the last
straw
the last straw mrs. Hudson the one which
makes the back of the case against Jakob
Dylan it proves beyond the shadow of
doubt that even Punk as he claims he was
he could still fire the shot in his own
defense
that killed his wife's lover but
shooting holes in my beautiful plaster
come on soon my dear fellow I'm glad to
find Julian
I didn't even knock how do you know it
was me hi me is acceptable Watson unless
of course you're a purist which I doubt
and may I add that your step is like no
other in London you're just in time for
breakfast good it's good to see you
again sit I think there'll be enough to
eat for two splendid you're a sight for
sore eyes Watson thanks oh boy and so
you sit down good thank you alright
what brings you from Northumberland at
this early hour business home a very bad
business how'd you know that I came from
Northumberland and I meant you my dear
Watson your overnight bag headed a fresh
Houston label the only train arriving at
Euston station at this hour is the new
council Express from Northumberland ago
sir Knight thou comest from
Northumberland Oh quite now tell me what
dark deed was done hosting towers last
night that's what I can see you about
home that tell acog last night I was
sitting in the lab how do you know that
I came from her sir
you wrote me did you volunteer at the
medical service within the rail
with your experience what post could
have been offered you'll other than to
put you in charge of a home of
continence and offices only one such
home has been opened in Northumberland
in the last month and that's musgrave
manner at Hurston super reasoning child
could do it
not your child watching well no matter
child did though did I ever tell you
about that that we know tricked them
then in our escape
I just found out in times you heard of
us harbor a little squirt about three
and a half years nice we better stick to
her story
oh it's a grim old pile of spooky don't
tell me that you met a ghost
no not the spook is that ghost don't
stab people the neck do there or do
they're not well-bred ghosts Watson what
was stabbed in the neck my young
assistant dr. Sexton when last night any
idea who did it
no idea no part of it what you're trying
to say is the officers in your care to
all fine fellow is wonderful more
records and so on is that it so true so
you thought perhaps a private
investigation exactly thinking Watson
just time to catch the 9:30 train to
hosting your foes no mediate her isn't
done your patients are all victims of
combat fatigue any one of them might go
over the edge at any moment and from
what you've told me there's a killer
loose in Houston Great Scott you may be
right shan't be too late
you're right what's in about Musgraves
manor house it's like people have
definite personalities and this place is
positively ghoulish certainly is hello
what's that you're still green house
Lana a part of leaves Stern or Napoli's
why doesn't it strike you as odd Watson
but the pile of leaves should be raked
up in front of a green house door no
gardener in the world will do that
Geoffrey Musgrave
that's all very interesting Inspector
Lestrade but what may I ask does it
prove what I'm trying to prove is this
the dr6 Taniya went down twice now
inspector he was stunned naturally but
longer than you thought that's the point
one point just this the man who attacked
him had time to get back into the ass
before dr. Sexton ear came - yes yes
and this year glove oh and they see a
glove what I picked up at the scene of
the crime
belongs to a certain party right here in
this ours I say why that glove belongs
to my brother hmm you suggest that he
attempted to murder dr. Sexton who knows
the menus and fits this year now who'll
bear talking - very well my brother's
down with the stables I'll take you to
him myself
what's the quickest way to put a stop to
this blithering nonsense come on
Oh mr. Filip yeah better not go out and
night air without a coat yeah
take my fact I won't need this no oh no
this well shall we go - mr. Holmes
good evening Lestrade come to give us an
end have you always happy to help

rights as a local justice of the peace

the instruments that save life are

Branson's work the butler he fed himself
a poet but only what he's drinking
I see wasn't that an American killer
giving diverse home you don't think that
Bronx scuse me
I merely stated there's an American
killer given traverse it's just a bad
dream I know Jeff Manama day you've got
to get a grip on yourself come on come
together

Sherlock Holmes yes then you'll help us
won't you mr. Collins pack me I'll try
to now tell me
wasn't the bad blood between your
brother Geoffrey and Captain degrees

have everything to do with it if you
think captain victory ever murdered
anyone you're no more of a detective
than then dr. Watson I'm sorry you're
very much in love aren't you I'm out of
my mind mr. Holmes I'm out of my mind
please forgive me please please help me
of course of course I understand but you
don't understand that appalling man from
Scotland Yard is questioning pepper at
this very moment now this your rank it's
the identical one you got from the
gardener this afternoon now ain't it
smells like it hey what is this are you
trying to prove that Geoffrey Musgrave
was killed with a rake no I'm tired
never mind what I'm trying to prove just
incriminate yourself captain degree
that's all the strong ones oh thank you
to keep out of this mr. Holmes this is
mr. Sherlock Holmes how do you do I
promise to help you dear there's nothing
to worry about now only iznik miss now
they see a rake what did you say you
were using it for I told you I got it to
fish my cap out of the pond it blew in
how so you were using it down at the
pond where you for the 10th time yes and
how did it happen to turn them alongside
mass graves buddy I don't know
well that's that Oh mr. Holmes any
fingerprints on the wreck inspector no
mr. Holmes that's the point
if Vickery he was only using it to
fishes at out well no he wouldn't bother
to wipe his fingerprints off no woody
it's beyond imagination I suppose that
somebody else could have used the regen
wiped off both sets of fingerprints
highly interesting but very unlikely now
you admit that you had a regular sick -
we get free Musgrave yesterday didn't
you your fattened up - he's hidden I
merely made the offer he didn't accept
it who told you sir
eat it no eat it I only stated what I
heard captain Vickery did threatened my
brother
that's right mr. Holmes and it's no good
saying it ain't this Yankee Laird and
Milton and opportunity and the rake toys
him right up tight to the corpse all
right
you really think he killed all musgraves
do you know very worried it it doesn't
stop clicking those needles take it easy
Sally I look don't worry a bit I tell
you where everything is gonna be all
right let's go inspecting steady city
aren't you on our side yes Sally

captain victory will be much safer in
the local police station tonight then it
would be in this house she's a bit upset
but she'll get over it
you think so sure haptic she's got an
ordeal ahead of her she has to go
through that tiresome ritual tomorrow
ritual this is no family ceremony mr.
Holmes
Sally's next in line now that I'm head
of the household blast this thing miss
help oh yes thanks knitting needle isn't
it yes handy little things this is my
heir sally has to recite a sort of
formula over Jeff's body in front of the
fireplace in the library in the presence
of the entire household yeah that's
better
there's what sort of formula oh it's not
meaningless words Musgrave ritual they
call it so family custom has been handed
down for generations if you remember the
words na na
but you had to speak them when your
brother Geoffrey took over yes that's
right I did
Messina who first shall find it were
better dead who next shall find it
perils his head the last to find it
defies dark powers who first shall find
it were better did
who next shall find it perros has hidden
the last to find it defies dark powers
and brings good fortune to Hillston town
where was the light on the face of the
messenger

bringing you for the past 10 minutes why
don't you mr. ohms communes ACK I mean
this is indeed an honor I don't often
have visitors what can I do for you sir
might stop that squeaking to begin with
yes then perhaps you can tell me how you
come to know the Musgrave ritual by
heart Lygia
yes you when Miss Sally forgot the lines
today you were the one who prompted her
well sir I memorized it obviously but
why because it has no meaning I love
things that have no meaning Thank You
Brandon but supposing it did have a
meeting and suppose that meaning were
tied up with a murder of Jeffrey
Musgrave oh what a lovely idea
you vanish season may Brunton
you may also sit down danger
oh stop it
look at me no here you know the meeting
of the Musgrave ritual do i well don't
you you'd be surprised at all the things
I know what things no you don't about
the musgraves
they're to be telling when here's to
them anyway
all the Musgraves past and present some
of them were murderers and some of whom
worse but they all knew how to keep a
secret
and so do I but I've been ringing for
you for the past 10 minutes sorry but
please Roger doesn't buzz
that'll do Brandon you have your notice
do you understand yes is that advisable
mr. Musgrave let me be the judge of that
he leaves Houston in the morning the
mornings a long way off farewell a long
farewell to all my greatness after all
we been through how could my managed to
do it all alone
what are you going to do what am I going
to do
[Music]
[Music]
a team again yes
[Music]
one day you said that he was drinking
last night wouldn't be a good idea to
try the pub Watson God we thought of
this even if we don't find run a trade
mission find him here information so but
I huntin you haven't seen him have you
have we clavering why shouldwe morning
great morning doctor what yeah but no
bearson what your funny bit of please
how to find a better team Raven devil
are you
cattle are you yes anyway scavengers
rather they can smell a carcass half a
mile off yeah that they can at all you
should see Charlie here when there's a
tasty bit outside and Street
have you seen dr. Watson
he's over there lass thank you may I
speak to you a moment mr. Holmes what's
wrong sorry we can't find my brother
Phillip did you look at his room that's
the trouble we have to force the door it
was locked on the inside really yes oh
you must come mr. Musgrave what are they
doing now doing now I don't know they
stopped talking somebody's walking about
in the alcohol heavy footsteps there's
no doubt about it what's new Hey look
Musgrave had a visitor here last night
he's footprints were made either by a
very heavy man or a man carrying a very
heavy burden
that's right mr. Holmes his new could
seen it ain't the burden was fit mass
graves body and these are footprints
were made by Alfred Branton it doesn't
necessarily follow oh don't it yeah try
that on your footprint
and that's Alfred Branton shoe it's
perfectly inspector but the fact that
these prints were made by Bunton shoes
doesn't prove the Brunton speak were in
them why not where should planten's feet
be if not in his own shoe well they're
not in them now are they looking at
homes let's use our internet do what
what's wrong with that
it's dictum motive that's my strong
point now this here Brunton head motive
Phillip my Spade game in the sack did me
did Jeffrey Musgrave also given a sec
was I gonna do with everything the
similarity of method in both murders
shows they were the work of one man
well that's figure me out he was in jail
at the time all right no Fred Brunton's
our man just what I said what possible
motive could Bruns of have had for the
murder of Jeffrey Musgrave motive old
bother Monte who cares about motive this
case is as simple as I EBC is it then
perhaps you could explain to us why
these footprints lead up to a blank wall
and never return well you didn't think
of that did you inspector it's just one
possible explanation
I'll Cottage Brampton murdered must be
right up against the wall he hoisted the
body always shoulder like this you see
walks backwards
such a very undignified position
Lestrade absolutely in a house as old as
this it's not unusual to find secret
message ways that lead down through the
walls hello here we are no you don't
come out of that
what are you doing in there none of your
business
I'm sorry obviously she was looking for
Brunton that's right he hasn't left much
gray bear I'm certain of that sir his
clothes are still hanging in the
wardrobe don't you lie to me woman
you've got a bitten in there somewhere
don't go in there why not you'll get
lost me lost like this he will get lost
her let him now listen to me where did
you enter that passageway through the
old green housing limehawk sir I know
that no he didn't and why were you
looking for him in there we yes we've
known all along that you were married to
Brunton you know Philip Musgrave was
murdered don't you know yes you were
doing you think Ponton did it no you
think he carried him down through the
greenhouse no no over to the garage no
he never and crammed his body in the
rumble seat of that roadster don't you
try and put the blame on out I'll put
the blame on both of you you're in this
together you were in his room last night
I saw you there only to talk about the
ritual sir he we he thought that he got
it all worked out did he leave any notes
any record no that is oh come on come on
out with it only this I found this
morning a little soap dish on his wash
stand hmm mr. written another jingle
yeah obviously agitation if any harm
should come to me fleshly or spiritual
seeking you will find the key and the
Musgrave ritual your ritual there it is
again
what's me brother find that Patrol it's
the key to the whole business just a
minute you can't talk to Sally why not
she was in such a state I had to give
her hypo all right come on draw the
curtains Watson
there must be a copy of effort or
somewhere in this room she had to learn
it you know all right here it is I doubt
it empty quite there's only one thing to
do
search the room not the room Watson her
mind we must search her mind obviously
she took great pains to hide that paper
but but why should you hide it
what just softened her place I brought
the Geoffrey was murdered the man she
loves is accused of that murder and
thrown into jail
on top of that she finds her brother
Philip murdered what would your
reactions be natural ash return absurd
obviously excuse me she's brought back
this house in a state bordering on
hysteria she comes through that door go
to that disc clubs first thing I like
some is the Musgrave ritual in her mind
it's tied up with all the disasters the
de perfil on her Stern she herself may
be the next victim she must hide that
paper was she learning this room at any
time before you gave the hypo certainly
not nor was here she helped him to bed
while I went for my bag good Nora yes
alone with Masseria what was the first
thing she did well sir she asked me to
turn down her bit and lay out her
nitrate what was she doing in the
meantime let me think sir oh yes she
went over to her desk mm-hmm I must
mention took the ritual from this
envelope but then Nora didn't she asked
me to step over and draw the curtains
why someone's pull them open yes I know
when you do the curtains who turned your
back or not sure and it wasn't more than
two shakes of a lamb's tail
no not when you were at the window where
was she she was sitting over here
sitting right here taking off her
stockings oh but she never left the
chair I'll kiss the book on it I've got
it
she must have tucked that paper under
this cushion obviously well she could
hidden it in her hair
what time is it when you brought her in
here Watson first idea the clock was
striking the quarter hour when I came in
sir I definitely heard it let's go the
same sir
Thank You Norah amigo obviously this
clock was running at 12:15 just as
obviously it stopped at 12:20 mm-hmm
Anala turned her back
sally reached across open the clock and
hid the ritual in here amazing her
elementary my dear Watson where I fell

watchman King Queen night bishop sounds
like a game of chess to me precisely
where the light follow the light

chessboard this is no gibberish these
are chess terms and that's the
chessboard the secret of a Musgrave

Ralph Musgrave knight Lord of the
manners of custom this place used to be

awhile all of you
these marks must not be erased what are
you gonna do huh I'm gonna leave this
just as it is until I can get the proper
chemical is to bring out the words have
you no notion of what he tried to write
yes I have I think that Bunton with his
last strength wrote the name of his
murderer on that flaw in his own blood
[Applause]

chemicals be back here not day to the

I'm worried it's about Lankford Lankford

that filthy rope and he's bound and
determined to go out the window he can't
do that there's no shooting

let's both go I can't leave here you
stay where you are I don't call the
straws remember clamoring stay where you
are okay
I'm got to watch him oh yeah well I'm
mrs. Miniver come along to the inspector
[Music]
[Music]
useless quite useless I show you there's
nothing written on the floor was just a
ruse of mine during Johnson's murder
here
permit me as the most ruthless killer in
England you deserve some of the light
killer I oh I say you seem to forget
that my life was also attempted and a
very neat ticket was to divert suspicion
from yourself but it struck me as odd
that the man who murdered birth was
raised with such a sure hand should have
missed so badly in your case unless of
course you yourself were the murderer
that's ridiculous
then - it seemed curious that you would
doctor examine both bodies and failed to
report the real cause of death and that
was a sister no needle thrust up into
the brain between the base of the skull
on the first cervical vertebra
I had the unpleasant duty of removing
this piece of needle from Philip
Musgraves head
it couldn't be yours by any chance could
it I never owned one
oh yes you did I saw it in your case the
night I came to this house just after
Geoffrey Musgrave was found murdered it
wasn't broken then was only one who
killed Phillip Musgrave that you lost a
piece of it nonsense
why should I go around sticking needles
into people okay enough question doctor
among nice people murder like madmen it
generally has a motive and in this case
the motive was matrimony oh you mean
miss Celie I do oh I see so you think
it's a case of murder for profit do it
precisely My dear Holmes that won't do
the musca is a landlord
everybody knows that exactly but
everybody didn't know what you knew you
worked out the meaning of the Musgrave
ritual I have oh yes you have you
claimed you knew nothing about the game
of chess when I suggested you'd moved
off your proper square you promptly
named King's Bishop three and what
move back onto it nonsense why should I
stepped out of I swear they got my moves
part of my game and prevent me from
finding what you had already found and
that was the old land grant I took from
this box which would have made Sally
Musgrave upon the death of her brothers
the richest woman in England
well what's there don't tell me you've
found another needle no no just a button
wouldn't be yours would it mine give it
a me thank you
would you mind telling me why you think
that was down here with Brandon no not
at all
as I see it you killed Phillip must
behave in his own wrong carried his body
down through the secret passageway out
through the greenhouse into the garage
where you planned it at the rumble seat
of that roadster but unfortunately for
you you had a witness Bunton was there
sleeping off his drunk nursing a grudge
against Phillip Musgrave Brunton became
our accessory but you didn't want an
accessory so you lured him down here
with the promise to share the Musgrave
treasure with him and exit button very
ingenious mr. Holmes you seem to have
everything except perhaps the negligible
item of truth suppose we leave that to
the jury suppose we do Charlie go after
you now by the way don't forget your
torch oh thanks
I know suppose it occurred to you but
you were taking a bit of a chance coming
down here all alone with a suspected
murderer well has to take chances in my
profession doctor you see I couldn't
possibly risk sharing my little clock
with anybody not even the doctor words
how particularly not the dr. Watson if
he'd known what was up tonight he'd have
been so elaborate too mysterious he'd
have given the whole show away as a
matter of fact I had the devil's own
time you Liam away from that door
upstairs so that we could be alone
that's all I wanted to know
stay away la afraid I have no choice dr.
sixsome okay you're not really gonna
kill me are you
they're here you oh that was a bad slip
you made didn't mean oh you were so
completely alone and you're really gonna
kill me I'm afraid I have no choice mr.
Holmes but as you said I know evidence
against you no proof no proof at all
you forget the needle and the baton
bring them here please
not too close now put them in my pocket
thank you curious about that button it
is off my coat of course can't think how
I never missed it
poor old Brandon he didn't struggle much
now film Musgrave was different the
needle broke off I didn't have time to
probe for it but you got the other now
button and illegal why kill me I'll step
back just a bit against the wall I've
used ten pleasantly still I think I can
manage this with one of the shot
did you get his confession Watson every
word Holmes and I heard all the rest sir
good let me congratulate you on an
extraordinary catch
that's right bestows his new boots a
needed and the fraid I underestimated
you Holmes pity yes those blank
cartridges were a cheap sort of trick I
grant you but it wasn't easy to let you
take my gun away from me without seeming
to hand it to you that's why I let you
take the torch first I knew you'd snap
it off yes we told you were taking an
awful risk well we had to have a
confession these egomaniacs always so
much more chatty when they feel they
have the upper hand here we go
I can't make head nor tail of it can you
pass well it looks like an old land
grant it's really a crown grant what I
don't understand is why the Musgraves
didn't claim the land ages ago
obviously Watson one of them died before
passing on the meaning of a ritual to be
there the words remain but the sense was
lost I wonder why he left the grant down
there where he found it what good would
it have done him so long as your
brothers lived once they were locked
away and you came into the property you
expected to marry you thought himself
irresistible precisely it's not unheard
of in cases of egomania I suppose then
he meant to rediscover the crown grand
at the proper time yes and then enjoy
his wife's Millions
did you save millions I did
about 80,000 acres of a richest soil in
England but aren't there people Amin
yes bombs villages even a factory town
with hundreds of weapons cottages is
this thing legal perfectly of course
it'll drag on through the courts just a
moment the people on this land they put
their money into it
their life work it's their homes I'll be
taking yes do you think I'm going to
kick these people out we're fortunate My
dear fellow I had nothing to do with it
the girls more power to her acted on her
grand gesture once she may regret
I don't think so what's new there's a
new spirit abroad in the land the old
days of grab and greed or on the way out
we're beginning to think of what we owe
the other fellow not just what we're
compelled to give him the times coming
what soon when we shan't be able to fill
our bellies and comfort while other folk
go hungry I'll sleep in warm beds while
others shiver in the cold when we shan't
be able to kneel and thank God for
blessing us before our shining altars
while men anywhere are kneeling in
either physical or spiritual subjection
you may be right home
and God willing we live to see that day
Watson
[Music]
