footprints of a murderer?
It's possible.
Yes, yes it's quite possible.
What, Holmes?
Well a man standing just
about here would command
a view of the path.
He might project
some kind of weapon.
Not a weapon's been found
except Hunter's revolver.
retrieved in the excitement.
And what kind of weapon
thrown from here
could both strangle a man
If we knew that,
my dear Watson,
we'd be a great deal nearer
to the solution of the crime.
Look at that.
Yes.
Yes, it was torn
from that tree.
Perhaps by something
hurdling past.
The sap's not dry yet.
That means it was torn off
within the last few hours.
Ah.
What have you found,
Holmes?
It's a watch fob.
Looks like a rabbit's foot.
No, no, no. It's chinchilla.
Unquestionably chinchilla.
Well, rabbit or chinchilla.
What's it matter?
What? No, no. Perhaps it
doesn't matter at all, Watson.
We'll see.
things were in very poor taste.
Fancy going about
with a dead animal's foot
dangling from your pocket.
Yes, and then loosing it
at the scene of a murder.
Very careless.
??
(Scream)
She's in here, sir.
- Who is it?
- It's Mr. Holmes.
Oh, Mr. Holmes,
I'm so glad you're here.
I went up
to be with my brother.
While I was with him
I heard--
Yes?
The sound of music
from the street,
strange music.
It didn't begin,
and it didn't end.
It just went on and on.
What was it about the music
that frightened you?
I heard it once before,
Mr. Holmes,
only once when I was a
little girl in South America,
the night my father was killed.
under the circumstances
this impression
was a hallucination.
This was no hallucination,
Dr. Watson.
Take my word for it.
Did you see who was playing?
I went to the window.
There was a street beggar
standing in front of the house.
I could just see the outline
of his figure
- and then I became so
frightened I screamed and--
- Yes I don't wonder.
Do you think you would
remember that melody?
Remember it,
as long as I live.
Miss Brandon,
but time is so important.
I understand.
What do you want me to do?
It's not going to be easy.
Anything if it will help you
clear up my brother's death.
to repeat it for me?
I'll try.
??
That's definitely
every note of it.
Mr. Holmes, would you mind
going out, please?
Yes. Yes, of course.
You must try to get some
sleep. It's been a terrible
day for you.
??
Thank you, Billy.
??
What's that, Mr. Holmes?
Hmm? Yeah, that's a
chinchilla foot, Billy.
- Chinchilla?
- Yes.
You know what a chinchilla is?
Yes, Mr. Holmes.
It's a little animal that grows
in South America
and its fur is very expensive.
Ah, you should
remember that, Billy.
It'll save you a lot of money
when you grow up.
May I look at it, sir?
- Uh, yeah, yes, certainly, Billy.
- Thank you.
- Well, what do you
make of it, Billy?
- Blimey,
I'd like to have one of these.
They must bring you
lots of luck.
Well why do you say that?
Well, I bet in Chile or Bolivia
chinchilla's foot for good luck
- the same as we
carry a rabbit's foot.
- Ha, ha.
You hear that, Watson?
My hearing is in no way
impaired, thank you.
And you think that the man
who lost this comes from
Chile or Bolivia?
Yes, sir, cause that's the
only places chinchillas grow.
Well, Watson.
What do you say to that
for a simple deduction?
I've listened to seashells
that made better sense.
Why do you waste your time
like this, Holmes?
- Half the women in the world
own chinchilla wraps.
- You exaggerate, Watson,
and half the women in the
world wish you didn't.
No, Dr. Watson. You see they
make the coats out of skins.
- Oh, really?
- Yes, sir,
and the only place you can
get a chinchilla's foot
would be where
the chinchilla lives.
There Billy,
there's sixpence for you.
Blimey me a tenner.
Oh, thank you.
No, thank you, Billy.
Thank you.
I don't know why you let
that insufferable little brat
come in here.
I was pulling your leg, Watson.
Merely relaying to you through
Billy certain observations,
which may or may not
coincide significantly with
what I found.
- You found something?
- I think so.
I've identified
the death music, Watson,
the melody Miss Brandon
played for us last night.
It's an ancient Inca
funeral dirge
still used by the Indians
as a chant for the dead.
What on earth has that got to
do with Professor Moriarty
or the Star of Deli?
I wouldn't know, Watson.
I really wouldn't know.
(Knock at the door)
Would you mind?
Inca funeral dirge...
- Ah, how do you do, doctor.
- How are you, sir?
Holmes, how lucky
to find you at home.
Sir Ronald.
Well, won't you sit down.
- Here you are, sir.
- Thanks.
- Oh, I hope I'm not
interrupting you.
- Oh, no, no, no.
But I'm very anxious to know
have you had any idea, in the
connection with that note?
The note?
Oh, I'm afraid I haven't had
After all, the Star of Deli
is not the immediate problem.
Oh, but it is.
You will help me as you
promised, won't you Holmes?
Imagine the scandal,
to a Crown Jewel.
Yes.
- When does it arrive?
- Tomorrow night.
I've had to arrange
for delivery at ten o'clock,
a most inconvenient hour
for everyone of course
but I can't leave
the jewel out of the vault
overnight, you know.
- Once it arrives
it's technically in my custody.
- Yes.
Yes, I understand.
What do you want me to do?
Could you possibly be at the
- I'll take care of everything.
- Good.
You'll have your own men there,
of course,
and as an added precaution
I'll see to it
- that a few policemen
are on hand.
- Excellent.
I can't tell you, how
grateful I am to you, Holmes.
Not at all, Sir Ronald.
- Well, goodbye.
- Goodbye, sir.
You'll forgive me
bothering you like this.
But I'm sure you understand
the emergency of the matter.
- Certainly, Sir Ronald.
- Thank you again.
- Goodbye, doctor.
- Goodbye, Sir Ronald.
- How do you do, Miss Brandon?
- How do you do?
Will you excuse me, please?
Port Authority, pier nine.
Giddy up.
Miss Brandon,
is anything wrong?
Two are not enough.
They don't even give me time
to bury my dead.
- Please, sit down.
- No, I don't want to sit down.
Thank you.
This is exactly like the
drawing your brother received
May the 13th.
That's tomorrow.
Was this left at your door?
Yes, about half an hour ago.
I came here directly.
You didn't happen to notice
the messenger who left it?
No, one of the servants
answered the door.
He just took it.
He didn't notice anything.
Mr. Holmes, what shall I do?
Isn't May the 13th the night
you're supposed to go to
