  Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, how about the were wolf?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Mister Bell the adventure again innocently enough. On a slate
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: gray November afternoon in Baker Street, just before the turn
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: of the century, Holmes and I were seated comfortable on
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: either side of a cracking fire, when short before tea time,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: there was a jangle on our doorbell, and a few
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: minutes later a young girl, whom missus Hudson announced as
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Miss Victor, was standing before us, a young girl dressed
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: in a wedding guard. She was in a great state
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of excitement, in fact, almost as mister.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: As you must help me. There's no one else to
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: whom I can turn.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do this, My dear compose
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: yourself if you will just tell us the facts, Miss Victor, Well.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: At three o'clock this afternoon, I was to have been
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: married to David McKinnon.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Any relation to the Hersha mckinnons.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: The son and dare to the estates?
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Do?
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I think I met one of the family in a
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: shooting party a few years ago.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: I remember the sting.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Some other time. Watson.
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: Please, Miss Victor's problem is immediate. Who you will say
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: you were to have been married? Miss Victor.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: What occurred to prevent the ceremony just didn't appear?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, this dreadful, mister Holmes. I waited and waited, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: finally I knew.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: He wasn't coming.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: You've had no word from him since.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: No nana. I went to his hotel as soon as I.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Left the church.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: And what did you discover?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: That he had received a visit from an elderly Scotsman
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: this morning and the porter said that immediately afterward they
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: left together in a cab the same confessation.
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: So thankless, and after their destination was Scott hur.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Quite mister Holmes, you must find David for me. I
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: know he's been kidnapped.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Miss Victor.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: A man who is being kidnapped does not walk out
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: of a hotel in broad daylight and order a cab.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: Something's happened to him.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't do a thing like this in his own vinegion.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: She you got shot that you didn't have some lover's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: quarrel or something to differ in the last.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Few days that might have made your fiance change his mind.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Of course, I'm sure, doctor Watson, we've never had any misunderstanding.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Only something dreadful could have made him leave.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: I shall do everything in my power to find out
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: what it was, Miss Victor. Oh, Watson, get me the railway, guys, it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Hurts on the table. Besides, I knew you'd help me.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I only hope you'll be successful.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Now, Watson, if you'll pack a couple of bags and
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: meet me at the station at nine fifteen, in time
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: for the Scottish Express.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I have a few simple inquiries to make.
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: What kept you so long? We almost missed the train.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: You are shockingly out of condition, Watson. A little sprint
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: like that shouldn't leave you so windows.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: Well, never mind about my condition.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Where have you been to the last?
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: For us?
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Delving into the back issue files at the times very instructive.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: You should try it something rubbish?
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: There's nothing Duller then, yes it is news.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: I doubt if you call the legend of the McKinnon
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: family dull. Watson on the contrary.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: So that's what you've been looking up.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, it's a history that goes back several hundred years
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: of brawling and bloodshed. The founder of the clan was
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: a fourteenth century Scottish warrior by the name of Wolfhound McKinnon.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: He reputed to have been so incredibly vicious in battle
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: that his enemies accused him of being a werewolf a vampire. Oh,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: come now home, I'm merely repeating a five hundred year
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: old legend. The point is that the present head of
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: the clan, the father of the disappearing fiancee today, is
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: known as Black Angus. He's a dominant, thoroughly hated man
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: whose local reputation is as frightening in our day and
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: age as his predecessors was five centuries A.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Very interesting homes But I don't see why he gets
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: too excited over a five hundred year old legend.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Well, you see, Watson, I found another rather curious fact
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: in the papers.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Oh what was that?
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Several times during the last few months sheep dogs have
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: been found dead in the vicinity of McKinnon Castle.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: With their throats torn out.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: Good Heavens, Tamis, you've lived in this village to go
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: many years.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: I expect all my life, sir, and this inn was
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: my favors before me.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: We're interested in some.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Of the local beauty spot's, particularly McKinnon Castle.
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: McKinnon Castle is no beauty spots. O Devil's Castle we
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: call it. There isn't one of us in the village
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: that wouldn't have been glad to see the ground open
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: up and swallow the place.
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: I and nevery McKinnon who lives there.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Why are the McKinnon so hated, Tennis?
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: There are no men, they're monsters. McKinnon thinks that because
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: he owns the.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Land, he owns the AIRMoN breathes too.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: And Black Angus is the biggest, blackest devil of them all.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Black Angus you mean the present laird.
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: Aye, And if he keeps up with his devil's work,
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: you'll be the deadly before long.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: What's been going on, Tennis?
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: It's the sheep dog, sir?
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: Here about some man's sheep dog is his living And
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: yet six more have been killed in the past two weeks,
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: and all of the poor wheat beast is lying there
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: on the moors with the throat's tonne.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: How can you blame McKinnon for that?
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: Surely some animal, ye, sir, I an animal that stands
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: on two feet? What are you suggesting, Tamas and suggesting nothing, sir,
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: except those dead dogs all had human teeth marks on
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: the throats.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: You insinuating into black anguses?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Vampa, Oh no no, now, really, my dear fall.
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: We've seen him at night when the moon was high,
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: galloping across the moors on his big black horse, And
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: the next morning there's always been a dead sheep dog.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: You've seen him yourself? Well, well, no, sir, but there
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: are those that have.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: There's no mistaking him with his big coat flapping and
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: his hat pulled down over his eyes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Wasn't it to old? No business?
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Interesting? Very interesting?
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Do you see that gentleman that just came in sitting
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: by himself in the corner of yours?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: The man in the gray over court.
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: Hye, his name's Humphreys. He can tell you more about
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: the mckinnons than I can. He's a cousin of the family,
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: and even though he's related and lives at the castle,
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: he's as nice a gentleman as you meet up with.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you for the information, Thamas. I think perhaps we'll
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: go and have a chat with him.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Come on, Watson, Oh, thank you.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: I'm so glad to be of service, gentleman. Excuse me,
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: mister Humphris. Hi, may we take the liberty of introducing ourselves.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: I'm Sherlock Holmes and this is my friend, doctor Watson.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: How do you know you own't you to do? Thank you.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Thamas tells me you are a cousin of the mckinnons family.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Am do you know them?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: We're particularly interested in one of them, mister Humphreys, Yes,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in David McKinnon.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: David's a vera fine boy. You knew he wants to
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: have been married in London yesterday?
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: I knew that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Did you also know that just for his wedding he
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: suddenly disappeared?
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: Gentlemen, may I ask the reason for your interesting young David.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: That's a very fair question, sir. I have been asked
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: by miss Victor David Science to try and find the
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: young man.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: Oh, I see, it's a very unfortunate business, mister Humphreys.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Shortly before the wedding yesterday, David McKinnon had a visitor
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: in his hotel. They left together, presumably to catch the
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: express Wiscontlin.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Pomus Victor was a standard of the church that the
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: little thing was heart broken.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: She would be mister Holmes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: I wish I could help you in some way, But.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: You can, mister Humphreys, how by telling us what message
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: you delivered today at his hotel yesterday that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I oh, come now, mister Humphries.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: The man seemed to be leaving the hotel with David
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: was wearing a gray Raglan coat such as you are wearing.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: In addition, I observed as.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: We sat down that you're reading yesterday's edition of the
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: London Times. Even if you subscribed to it, it couldn't have
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: reached you here in Scotland through the post. This beeed
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: an amazing home elementary, isn't.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: It, mister Humphreys.
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: Well, I don't know about that, but your deduction is correct. Yes, yes,
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: mister Holmes, I dig a return with David from London yesterday.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: What was the message you was sent to get him there?
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Asked? The message that decided him not to go through
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: with his marriage.
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: I'm afraid I can't answer that question, mister Holmes.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: Though I may tell you it's a.
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: Family secret of the gravest importance.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: Well, in that case, our only recourse is to go
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: to McKinnon Castle and pursue your inquiries there were.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: I imagine that would be best, gentlemen, but frankly I
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: doubt if you'll gain admittance. Imus is a wilful man
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: with a terrible temper, and when he knows you want
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: to see David, we'll handle terrible men before, haven't we, Watson?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Indeed, I remember that afternoon in Vegasy when doctor Grimsby
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: worked picked.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Up the poker.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Yes, washon, you can regal mister Humphreys with that some
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: other time. But now I think we'd best be starting
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: for the castle.
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: Mister Holmes, if by any chance you do see Anger,
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: I must ask you not to mention that you've talked
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: to me if he finds out there might be trouble.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: All right, mister Humphreys, Come on, Watson, y, I wish.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I'd put some springs in this vehicle. It's worse than
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: an Irish jondinker.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Smas's directions is to be believed when he should see
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: the castle.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: When we'll get to the press of this kill.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: This black Anger seems to be quite a lovable character.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Even Humphreys is his cousin, seems to be terrified of him.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Man was positively shaking.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, I noticed that. Ah, that must have the cattle.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Now I just for bedding, looking place, isn't it is?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Watson waining your horse work for me?
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: What is it, Holmes?
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Look lying by the side of the road. Just a
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: dead dog, Yes, a dead sheep dog. Come on.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: The dog's throat has been torn out.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Yes, and look here, Watson. Look at these marks on
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: the throat.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Good Heaven's homes. They look like they are the marks
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: of human teeth.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Aye, gentlemen, is the lad at home?
• 11:02
  Speaker 11: I'm sorry, sir, but the lad and the sheep people
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: who would tell the appointments?
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: And then will you please give him a message?
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: But the two tell him that mister Charlock Holmes and
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: doctor Watson have come here from London to see.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'm a.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Good manner and tell him it's an a very important
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and confidential business.
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: If you'll wait here in the hall, I'll give him
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: the message, gentlemen, But you'll see, you'll know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: See stupid olm any one think he owned the castle?
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Watson? Have a look at these two portraits.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: A couple of grim looking characters.
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: Give me the creep.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: I think we may reasonably assume them Akin and ancestors do.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: Notice something odd about them?
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Who the men are smiling? Who call that smiling? Looks
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: more like clearing to me.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is, it shows their teeth.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: Notice the abnormal length of the ie teeth.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: A choious the teeth marks on the dead sheep dog.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Quite who he is? I won't.
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: I won't be a problem.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: Black Anger seems to be living up to his name.
• 12:04
  Speaker 11: I'm sorry, gentlemen, but the lead will miss see. He
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: asked that you please leave at once, an understatement.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: You may tell him.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: I'm not leaving here until we've seen mister David McKinnon.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, moment, I'm David McKinnon.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: You are splendid. We've come here on behalf of I.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Know way yet here, gentlemen, I must start that to
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: leave it once. But miss Victor, you're here saying, after all,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: you know you heard my father's message. Please go.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: As for Miss Victor, I have no interest in hearing
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: anything concerning her. Good day, Come Watson. I think perhaps
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: our visit was ill timed.
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: Be weey, Please, gentlemen, let's get away from here. I'm
• 12:46
  Speaker 11: principle you don't care that David. I'd like to give
• 12:49
  Speaker 11: him a good thrashing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: It might be interesting to talk to David McKinnon when
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: he's away from the influence of Black Angers.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: You're wasting your time. Homes a man's a boundery. Besides,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: they'll never let us in the house again.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: By the front door, true, however, opens to try the
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: back leave your hatim coat in the bushes here, old
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: chap rumple up your hair, dirty your face, and adopt
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: that delightful Scottish dialect of yours.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: For the moment we will be plumbers.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Plumbers? How do we know they need plumbers in.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: An old castle like this? You can always be sure
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: of one fact. Something must inevitably be wrong with the drains.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: They always need plumbered homes.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: You think it's safe. I mean, if black Angust discovers us,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: he may be dangerous.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid that's the chance we'll have to take.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: Come along, Watson and try to look as much like
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: a plumber as possible.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: In just a moment, Doctor Watson will continue the story
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: of black Angers. But first, here's something which would certainly
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: interest you men about Cremwell hair tonic. Cremwell is one
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of the greatest improvements ever made in the history of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: hair tonic. It's been especially developed to keep dry, unruly
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: hair in perfect order all day long, always looking its best,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: with a nice, rich luster. Yet Kremmel never gives hair
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: that objectionable, greasy patent leather. Look that kind of hair
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: went out of Star with handlebar mustaches. No Kremmel goes
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: in for modern handsome hair grooming, and it does lots
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: more than just keep hair looking handsome. Kremmel removes dandr flakes.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It also promptly relieves itching of dry scalp and leaves
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the scalp feeling so clean and alive. May I suggest
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that tomorrow, when you're out for your Sunday walk or drive,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you stop and buy a bottle of Kremel at any
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: drug counter.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: It's spelled k.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: R E m L Kremmel hair tonic. Why now, doctor Watson,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: did you and Sherlock Holmes manage to get into McKinnon
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Castle disguise this plumbing we did?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Mister Bell Holmes was right about the drains. We were
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: welcome to the service entrance with open arms. Figured that
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a speaking of course, we were shown down to the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: basement and left to our own devices.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: As soon as the coast was cleared.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I found myself following Sherlock Holmes as he's stealthily mounted.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: In an old stone stairway. I must confess that my
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: heart was in my mouth.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: The stairway should lead us up to the east wing,
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: I'd say, And by the way, Watson, you make the
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: most convincing plummer.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Oh wrong garage.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: You know, if I wasn't.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: A light on the left door stor slightly adjure, come here,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: Watson wouldn't see through the crack.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: A man seated in front of the dressing table, staring
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: into the mirror.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Candlelights flickering. But I'll give you answer. That's black air.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: It's like this home. I don't like it. He met Holmes.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: He's got a revolver, he's raising it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Angus McKinnon. Put down that revolver? Who got deverlop you?
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: My name is Sherlock Holmes.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: A tall post.
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: I throw you out this time.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: I'll do it. My cnya crying mister McKinnon, I know
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: what you were thinking when you raised that revolve at
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: your temple.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Just now and believe me. You're wrong.
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: You can't possibly know I think I do.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: You are convinced that you have been killing these sheep dogs.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: You have been so preoccupied with the legends of your
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: great ancestor Wolf found McKinnon that you think that your
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: brain has snapped and.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: That you've turned into a vampire.
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: You're right, mister Holmes, but how you found out is
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: beyond me. You know about the dogs, the sheep don't
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: with their throats torn out?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, we know about them.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Have we found on as we were driving out about
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: a mile from here.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: I know they've brought me that you is not more
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: than two hours ago. It won't happen again.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: You are convinced that you are responsible for these killings?
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: What health can I think? All the evidence, the blood
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: stains on mcloak, and I know those stains are not
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: caused by human blood. You remember nothing, nothing, But when
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: I think of a heritage at the mckinnons, how can
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: I doubt?
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Then that's the reason your son was recalled from London yesterday.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: It suddenly had.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Proof of what you thought to be your own morbid tendencies,
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: and so you sent a message to your only son,
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: warning him that he must not allow the woman he
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: loved to marry into a family stained with madness.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Holmes, you seem to understand my problem, but I will
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: not discuss it with you. Go away, both of you.
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: A McKinnon canna go to his meger before strangers.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Mister McKinnon, give me your help in a few hours, Grace,
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: and I am convinced I can prove to you that
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: you're the victim of a devilish.
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: Plot, a plot I don't understand.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Come no, mister mc kinnan.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: In this year of grace, it's a little hard to
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: believe in vampires.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: But how can you disprove the evidence I've seen with
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: my own eyes? The human teeth?
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Might wouldn't be hard to conceive of an instrument that
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: could simulate those marks, mister McKinnon.
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: But who could think of such a fiendish plan? And
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: what would be the votive?
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: I have a suspicion, But what's more important that the
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: immediate moment is to find the evidence. An instrument such
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: as I've suggested would be damning proof. Therefore it would
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: be hidden in the most secure hiding place in the castle.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: Now what would be the most secret place?
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: The cellars?
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: I we half extensive cellars.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: We'll search them. But another possibility occurs to me. In
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: castles as old as this, there's often a secret room, or,
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: as they were sometimes called, a priest's hole.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: You are quite right, mister Holmes. We have their hiding
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: place here, though I haven't been in it for years.
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: Another stairway leads down between the walls from an entrance
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: behind that big cabinet.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Splendidness McKinnon.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: You have a lantern there under dressing table.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: I like it, thank you, Watson.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: I have a strong suspicion that the solution of the
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: postponed wedding ceremony, as well as that of the mangled dogs,
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: lies at the foot of that secret stairway, a fell
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: of real.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Pleasure, the stool cobwebs okyoga. Though we've been down here recently, homes,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: I'd swear to that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: Give me the lantern, Watson, will you awful?
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Thanks? Uh huh.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Look here in the dust on the floor, footprints, footprints.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: Leading to that old chest in the corner over.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: The guess doesn't seem to be locked. Look, mister McKinnon,
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: see this devil's instrument.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: That looks like a metal trap?
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: It is with jaws of steel and a powerful.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Spring of wood heavens, and.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: You can see the recent bloodstains on it. This fiendish
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: instrument gives us the answer to those poor dead darms.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: You mean that this was used to tear off their throat?
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Undoubtedly? And look more devil's work.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Right, it's got a human jaw bone with the teeth intact.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: This must have been used to leave the Prince of
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: human teeth after the animals were dead.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: I have to try and make me think that I
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: was madded foot shot.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Somebody shot the lantern out of my hand.
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: To inquisite it, Lockholme us, your cousin, my Humphreys.
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: We fund you know what you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: And your meddle and friends have found out. Angus soughtful
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: of you to put yourselves in my power. The priest
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: Dungeon will make up perfect cuffing for the three of you.
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: I'm going to lock and bolted door at the head
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: of the stairs. It's your own escape. I'm afraid death, fight, suffocation,
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: and starvation will be very pleasant.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: My friend, I'm praised.
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: I'm coming back up those stairs. I'm gonna get my
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: hands on your horse, Stephanus, and I fire your.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Your Oh whatsn't where are you?
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: How is he?
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: I'm all right, homes I think just please sacking match, Yes.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Just a flesh wound. As far as I can say.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Good McKinnon's another exit from the room.
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: There is mister Holmes under that chest. The stone slides.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Out gracious moment.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: Hampress Praise knows nothing about it. Some secrets of the
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: McKinnon family are only interested to those bearing the family name.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Thank heaven for And now I'd suggest we get out
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: of here as soon as possible. The airing here is
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: getting stale already. Lean on me, mister Muckinnon.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: How are you feeling a little shaky? But I'm all right, mister.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Hawaen and places are we We've been following this little
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: passage up and.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Down, round and round.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: Right now we're behind the wall of the library. The
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: entrance is ahead of us, conceived by a tapestrit. There's
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: a faint crack of light. We're behind the tapestry.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Someone's in the library.
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: Boy, I don't know how.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: It's Humphreys and my son, David Dish.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: I was worried about those men from London.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: Sherlock Holmes should learn of the shame of the baby.
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: I'm afraid I've got shocking news for you. Your father
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: has confessed that he has been killing the sheep or father.
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: He knows that he's mad. He left the castle just
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: now with a pistol. He plans to kill himself, kill himself.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: We must start.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, my boy, let him go.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: It's the best way, poor father. What can I do?
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: There's only one honorable solution. David, your branch of the
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: family is corrupt, decayed. If your father dies and you disappear,
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: the estate for reverts to me and we can save
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: the mckinner name with fresh black. But uncle, you can't
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: go to the colonies and start life over with a
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: new name. It's the only way.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: We've heard enough. Come on, compressall lions, double file, he
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: said the brother.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: We overheard your conversation, mister Humbres, most enlightening, and.
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: We've found this where you're headed. Your health, the beast
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: a human job on one, you're macked the dogs with it
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: and trying to make me think that I've done at
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: the sun. Then what he told me in London was
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: nothing but a pack of life.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Of course, mister McKinnon, I suggest you send for the police.
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: The police, what crying can they hold me for a
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: few sheep dogs killed and they can't prove I us responsible.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: There's there's a there's a mother of people outside the
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: windows the.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: Mckinnisal excuse me, zippers, it's a crowd in the villagers
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: really in an ugly mood. They say you're responsible for
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: the sheep dogs being killed on the moors. They're threatening
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: to burn the castle. I'm a feared of getting you
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: to hand.
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: Or back and tell them that. In a few minutes
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: I come out and explain the calling die all right,
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: But you know well I'll go and talk to them father.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: They know, mister Humphreys, possibles in law can do little toll,
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: but the violence of mob rule may prove strikingly effective.
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: I'll take this blagged Humphreys out there.
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: They'll know what the away.
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: You know you can't do that. You've got to keep
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: me away from them to tell me the pieces.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Sign a writing confession, mister Humphries, and we'll protect you.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: I'll sign anything, just keep you away from that mob.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: Yours suggested that my boys should go to the colonies.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: Put it in right that you don't just just give
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: me a pin.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Here you are, and now, Watson, I think we still
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: have time to catch the Night Express for London.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: I hope we'll have.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: No difficulty in obtaining three tickets on such short notice.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Three tickets, of course, I'm certain young David McKinnon will
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: be accompanying us. I fancy we may be attending a
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: wedding within a very few days.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: And did you, doctor Watson, did I want attend the wedding.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Indeed we did, mister Bell. A matter of fact, Holmes
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: acted as best man. It was a very.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Chummy affair, I'm sure it was.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And now, doctor Watson, what about next week?
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Well, let me see.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Next week, I think I'll tell you a story called
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: The Adventure of the Hungry Cat, in which Sherlock Holm
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: saves an innocent man from the gallows and brings to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: justice a particularly vicious and cold blooded murderer.
