:18:01
besides your
father's death,
:18:02
I mean, perhaps with
some other incident
:18:04
in your family history?
:18:05
No, no nothing.
:18:07
My family has no history.
:18:08
My father was a
self-made man.
:18:10
I see.
:18:11
Oh Mr. Holmes, you
must save my brother.
:18:13
Don't let them kill him
as they did my father.
:18:21
Jerrold?
:18:26
It was very wrong for
you to come here, Ann,
:18:28
after I expressly
asked you not to.
:18:30
No more so than for
you to follow me.
:18:31
Where's the paper
you took off my desk?
:18:33
Here in my hand
and I'll keep it
:18:34
until I find
out what it means.
:18:38
I apologize for the
intrusión, gentlemen.
:18:40
My name is Hunter.
:18:41
I'm a legal
representative for
:18:43
Miss Brandon's brother.
:18:44
That note was placed
confidentially
:18:45
in my keeping.
:18:47
It's of no concern
to anybody except
:18:48
Mr. Brandon and myself.
:18:49
Murder is a concern
:18:51
of every right-minded
person, Mr. Hunter.
:18:53
You make too
much of a trifle.
:18:55
There's is nothing
trifling about murder.
:18:57
Miss Brandon fears this
drawing may be a threat.
:18:59
Oh, she's been reading
too many novels.
:19:01
It's merely some
kind of joke
:19:03
or the word of a
mental incompetent.
:19:05
Isn't it true, Mr. Hunter,
:19:07
that Miss Brandon's father
:19:08
received such a drawing
before he was killed?
:19:10
Since my client
attaches no significance
to that, Mr. Holmes,
:19:13
I don't see
why you should.
:19:14
It's pure coincidence.
:19:16
Yes.
:19:17
But it would
be unfortunate
:19:19
if the coincidence
turned into a
tragedy, wouldn't it?
:19:20
That is our
responsibility,
Mr. Holmes.
:19:22
I regret that you've
been troubled.
:19:23
I'll send you a
check for your fee.
:19:25
As of yet there is no fee.
:19:26
I haven't
accepted the case.
:19:28
You see, Ann, you've only
made yourself ridiculous.
:19:31
Well, if Mr. Holmes
won't help me
:19:33
I'll go to Scotland Yard.
:19:34
Don't you trust me, Ann?
:19:36
But Jerrold there's
too much at stake.
:19:38
My brother's life.
:19:39
Darling, you
must trust me.
:19:42
If you don't what's
to happen to us?
:19:44
I don't know, Jerrold.
:19:46
I can't think.
:19:51
I've decided to accept
your case, Miss Brandon.
:19:53
I shall help
you all I can.
:19:54
Oh thank you.
:19:56
We don't want your
interference, Mr. Holmes.
:19:57
I interfere whenever
and wherever
I like, Mr. Hunter.
