1:07:00
What?
1:07:01
How did they manage
those fake murders?
1:07:03
Oh elementary my dear
Charles, elementary.
1:07:06
I can explain all that.
1:07:07
Whenever there
was a funeral
1:07:08
of some old chap in
the neighborhood
1:07:10
they dug up the body
1:07:12
and dressed it
in the clothes
1:07:13
of all their members,
1:07:14
then they staged
a fake death
1:07:16
and mutilated the body
1:07:17
beyond all
recognition.
1:07:18
In the meantime,
1:07:19
the so-called corpse
1:07:21
disappeared quietly
into the smuggler's room
1:07:22
underneath
Driercliff House.
1:07:24
I think...
1:07:25
I think that about
sums the whole thing.
1:07:27
Tell me Doctor Watson,
1:07:28
in the simulated death
of Captain Simpson
1:07:30
how do you account
1:07:32
for the tattooing
on the torso?
1:07:34
Tattooing on the torso...
1:07:38
well I...
1:07:41
Go on Watson, tell him.
1:07:45
Well the tattoo...
1:07:50
well the tattooing
on the torso...
1:07:53
sorry Holmes.
1:07:55
Captain Simpson
was an expert
1:07:56
with a tattoo needle.
1:07:57
He merely duplicated
the poor rigged ship
1:07:59
on the chest
of the corpse.
1:08:01
I also observed that
the design on the torso
1:08:03
had been done
within the previous
1:08:05
twenty-four hours.
1:08:06
Dear me.
1:08:07
What a gruesome idea.
1:08:09
Out of gratitude of
what you've done
1:08:10
the companies
that I represent
1:08:11
wish you to accept
this check.
1:08:13
No Mr. Chalmers,
1:08:14
I think Mr.
Alastair here
1:08:15
is much more deserving
1:08:17
of a reward than I am.
1:08:18
Dear me they took
me in completely.
1:08:20
I didn't help you
solve the case.
1:08:22
No but you did
much more than that.
1:08:24
It was your timely warning
1:08:25
when you drew
our attention
1:08:27
to the empty tobacco jar
1:08:28
and saved the life
1:08:30
of my dear friend
and colleague,
1:08:31
Doctor John H. Watson.
1:08:34
That's very nice
of you old man.
1:08:35
And by enabling us
to continue our long
1:08:37
and happy
association together.
