:27:00
Exactly.
:27:02
You mean that Simpson...
:27:03
well how about the
acid in his drink?
:27:06
There wasn't any
acid in his drink.
:27:08
Well it
definitely smelled
:27:09
like bitter almonds.
:27:10
It should.
:27:12
That's exactly what it
was, bitter almonds.
:27:14
How do you know?
:27:18
Cause I put it in
his drink myself.
:27:20
You did?
:27:21
Great Scott why?
:27:22
To observe his reaction.
:27:23
It was quite different
from that of the morning.
:27:25
The first was acting,
:27:26
the second genuine terror.
:27:28
Hence, I knew that
he undoubtedly
:27:29
planted the
needle himself.
:27:31
Well why should he?
:27:32
Well there are several
possible explanations,
:27:34
the most obvious,
of course,
:27:35
to advert suspicion.
:27:36
And you think Simpson's
behind all this?
:27:39
I don't know Watson.
:27:41
This is a most
unique case.
:27:43
Instead of too few
:27:44
we have too many clues
:27:46
and too many suspects.
:27:47
The main pattern
on the puzzle
:27:49
seems to be forming
:27:50
but the pieces
don't fit in.
:27:52
Well it seems
perfectly clear to me.
:27:54
One of these men
:27:55
is picking off the
others one by one
:27:57
to get all their insurance
money for himself.
:27:58
Why it's obvious.
:28:00
How do you account
the orange pips?
:28:02
Well this man
has an accomplice
:28:03
who brings them.
:28:04
What for?
:28:06
To warn his victim he's
going to be murdered?
:28:08
No Watson, it won't
do, it won't do at all.
:28:10
I don't like the
look of it Holmes,
:28:11
muddy waters huh?
:28:13
Too muddy
:28:15
as if someone
were constantly
:28:16
stirring them up.
:28:17
Why should they
stir them up?
:28:19
Confuse me.
:28:20
There's intelligence
:28:21
behind this
business Watson.
:28:23
Cold, calculating,
:28:26
ruthless intelligence.
:28:28
Must you smoke
that filthy stuff?
:28:30
Smells like an old sock.
:28:32
Strong tobacco
keeps one awake.
:28:34
You better have
a pipe full.
:28:35
We have a long vigil
ahead of us tonight.
:28:37
No thank you.
:28:38
I don't need any
of that stinkweed
:28:39
to keep me awake
in this chamber of...
:28:45
This chamber of horrors.
