1:04:02
I think I can manage
this with one shot.

1:04:30
Put 'em up.
1:04:33
Did you hear his
confession, Watson.

1:04:35
Every word, Holmes.
1:04:37
And I heard all
the rest, sir.

1:04:39
Good.
1:04:40
Let me congratulate you
on an extraordinary catch.

1:04:42
That's right, Mr. Holmes.
1:04:43
It's no good
saying it ain't.

1:04:45
I'm afraid I
underestimated
you, Holmes.

1:04:46
Pity.
1:04:48
Yes.
1:04:49
Those blank cartridges
1:04:50
were a cheap
sort of trick.

1:04:51
I grant you.
1:04:53
But it wasn't easy to
let you take my gun

1:04:54
away from me without
seeming to hand it to you.

1:04:56
That's why I let you
take the torch first.

1:04:58
I knew you'd snap it off.
1:04:59
Yes.
1:05:01
We told you, you were
taking an awful risk.

1:05:02
Well we had to
have a confession

1:05:04
and these egomaniacs are
always so much more chatty

1:05:06
when they feel they
have the upper hand.

1:05:08
Shall we go?
1:05:12
I can't make head
nor tail of it.

1:05:14
Can you Pat?
1:05:15
It looks like an
old land grant.

1:05:17
It's really a crown grant.
1:05:19
What I don't understand is
1:05:20
why the Musgraves didn't
claim the land ages ago.

1:05:23
Obviously Watson
one of 'em died

1:05:24
before passing on
the meaning of the
ritual to his heir.

1:05:27
The words remain but
the sense was lost.

1:05:29
I wonder why he
left the grant

1:05:31
down there where
he found it.

1:05:32
What good would
it have done him

1:05:33
so long as your
brothers lived.

1:05:35
Once they were
out of the way

1:05:36
and you came
into the property

1:05:37
he expected
to marry you.

1:05:39
I like that.
1:05:40
What ever made
him think that...

1:05:41
He thought himself
irresistible.

1:05:42
Precisely.
1:05:44
It's not unheard of
in cases of egomania.

1:05:45
I suppose then he meant
1:05:46
to rediscover
the crown grant.

1:05:48
At the proper time, yes
1:05:49
and then enjoy his
wife's millions.

1:05:51
Did you say millions?
1:05:52
I did.
1:05:53
Look here.
1:05:58
About eighty
thousand acres
