Art you judging by her
look?
Not just that.
Remember the way she described
her stepfather?
To listen to her, he's an
absolute monster.
All her life she's been jealous
of him and her mother.
A common story.
Any psychologist would say:
Don't trust a husband who speaks
bad of his mother-in-law,
don't trust a stepson who speaks
bad of his stepmother.
Don't listen to all the terrible
things a stepdaughter tells you
about her stepfather.
- Let me through!
- You can't go in there.
- But I will!
- No!
- You have no right.
- Let me through!
- You can't...
- Get out of my way!
Old cow!
- Go away, bandit!
- Idiot.
Which one of you is Sherlock
Holmes?
I said, which one of you is
Sherlock Holmes?
I am Sherlock Holmes.
Doctor Grimsby Roylott.
My stepdaughter Ellen Stoner
has just been here.
- So?
- What do you mean, so?
You don't think you can pull
any tricks on me, do you?
The old cow Farintosh gave
her your address.
What lies did she tell you
about me?
That's none of your business.
Listen here, young scoundrel!
I had to do with your kind.
Just stick your long nose in
my business,
and set what happens.
I'll make a roast-beef out
of you.
Listen, sir, I won't allow...
Shut your mouth!
This fool wants to teach me!
Another bloody sleuth.
Mind you, both of you:
Don't try and play any tricks
on me.
Now what do you say, my dear
psychologist?
You can't go there alone,
Holmes.
I'll go with you.
Very well.
And please take your gun.
The bastard. Broke into the
house, left footprints all over
the floor, ruined a good poker.
This cast is very interesting
and very simple.
I call those a "one-pipe cast".
Meaning?
While you smoke out one pipe,
you find the answer.
You mean to say, you already
know the answer?
There're a few details
missing but that's not the point
The main thing is to nail
down the murderer
and help the young lady.
Gentlemen. There's Stock-Moron.
Stop here.
Thank you, we'll walk from
here.
Thank you, sir.
Watch the window.
There's the signal.
Let's go, Watson.
I'm so glad you came,
Mr. Holmes.
No.
- That's your former bedroom?
- Yes.
Your stepfather is not pushing
with the repairs.
That's my sister's room.
Now I sleep here.
Anything new, Miss Stoner?
- Nothing.
- What's with your arm?
I didn't see that yesterday.
It must be your stepfather.
Yes.
He was very cross with me for
my coming to set you.
Mr. Holmes, keep away from
him, he is a terrible man.
What a bastard!
The shutters art strong
enough.
You can't open them from
the outside. Watson.
Have you ever seen such
a strange bed?
- Strange? - The legs are
screwed on to the floor.
What's this?
That's a string from a bell.
To summon the servants.
- Was it always there?
- No, Roylott put it there
some time before Julia died.
But wt never used it, we did
everything ourselves.
If I understand correctly, that
is an air- hole.
Yes, it was also made about
that time.
We're through here, now let's go
to your stepfather’s room.
- But it's locked.
- We’ll try to unlock it then.
Miss Stoner, is there a cat
in the house?
No, no cat. Just the hyena
and the baboon.
We haven't seen your hyena,
but I doubt it's going to drink
from such a small saucer.
- Where's the baboon?
- Wandering about the house.
Very well, Watson.
Better than I expected.
I have to ask you a favor. It's
not quite something usual.
I'll do anything you say.
Me and Watson will spend the
night in your bedroom.
And what about me?
You'll stay with us.
It is necessary.
Very well.
When he comes in - and we
will hear him -
I'll put out the lights,
as if you'd gone to sleep.
Watson, you sit here.
Try not to fall asleep.
Your life depends on it.
Get your gun ready.
Whatever happens - stay quiet.
Don't be afraid, that's a night
moth. There's many of them.
Watson, did you see?
Did you see it?
(a man's cry)
Mr. Holmes, you saved more
than just my lift.
You...
You delivered me
