that only you can explain.
That sound.
I've heard it before.
It's nothing,
nothing but the wind.
Or a bittern.
I was telling Dr. Watson
only yesterday about it.
Sir Charles,
what happened that night?
What was it you feared?
Tell us, Sir Charles, of all
the weird, terrible things
that have happened
on the moor?
Listen. There it is again.
Oh, I can't stand it. Would
somebody put on the lights, please?
I tell you it's nothing,
nothing but the wind.
Mr. Frankland,
what did you think it was?
The hound, of course,
the hound of the Baskervilles.
Any fool would know that!
James, get my cape,
take me home.
Very well, my dear.
Dr. Watson, can I give you
and Sir Henry a lift?
No, thank you,
we have our own carriage.
You're trembling.
That wasn't the wind we heard.
I've heard that sound
before, often.
That's what I tried to tell you
yesterday on the moor.
That's why I wish
you hadn't come here.
But sounds can't hurt you.
It doesn't matter what they are
or where they come from.
You don't know.
Oh, you've got to get all that
nonsense out of your head, Beryl.
- I wish I could.
- You're going to.
I'm going to make it my
business to see that you do.
You've been alone too much.
There's nothing to do down here.
That's the trouble.
I'm going to change all that,
if you let me.
We'll go fishing together, riding.
Do you like riding?
Yes, I do.
Good, we'll start tomorrow,
shall we?
Yes, thanks.
Fine, I'll ride over for you
in the morning.
- Are you coming, Sir Henry?
- Right, Doctor.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Hello.
Hello, Beryl.
Well, where shall we go today?
- There's one place we haven't
been, High Tor. - Fine.
That's where all
the old ruins are.
You know, Jack says that
they're over 50,000 years old.
That sounds interesting.
And you can still see the
remains of their stone huts.
All right, good.
Those platter stones over there,
they're graves.
Oh, and those huge ones, monoliths,
Doesn't anybody know who they
were or what they looked like?
Jack has a theory about them.
But anyway, they must have
been very primitive
living on roots
and dressing in skins.
But still laughing and
dreaming, just as we do.
I wonder how many times
some young savage
brought his bride
into this very hut.
Said, take your hat off,
darling, this is home!
You know, this is probably where
she cooked his first meal for him.
And what a yell he must have
let out when she burnt it up.
And now they're quite forgotten.
Just as we will be too, one day.
Do you suppose when a man
met a girl that he liked,
he had to wait
a respectably long time
before he dared tell her,
or things like that,
sudden, natural?
I'd like to think that
things were like that.
Beryl, that's the way
they are with me.
Oh, oh, but we've only known each
other for such a little while.
There, you see, convention, custom!
We can't even be ourselves
when we want to be.
Why is that?
You know, I used to come
down here quite often
and explore these old caves when
Jack and I first came to live here.
I didn't have a fear
of the moor then.
And you've none now
that's all gone.
When I'm with you, it's gone.
I seem to forget it,
laughing and talking.
When I'm alone
it all comes back to me.
And at night
I still wake up trembling,
as if in my sleep
I can hear those awful noises.
Then it gets bad as ever, and..
...oh, I think of you and I wish you
weren't here. - Oh, don't say that.
Well, I wish you were in London
or in Canada.
But even if I wanted to go back
to London or Canada, I couldn't.
Why not?
You know why.
You must know why.
I can't go anywhere now,
unless you come with me.
Oh, Henry.
Oh.
Would you mind
pausing for a minute?
I'm afraid I've lost my way.
Hello, Doctor.
Sir Henry and I were just...
We were... We were...
- We were getting engaged.
- Engaged! Splendid.
- May I congratulate you both?
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Who is that?
It seems that we didn't pick
a very secluded spot.
What do you want?
Just crossing the moor, sir.
Just crossing the moor.
I...I be peddling my wares, sir.
I must have something here
what interests you, sir.
How about...how about
a nice mouth organ, sir?
No, thank you.
Here, here's something an old
squire like you could use, sir,
a fusel,
a fusel for calling
your sheep dog.
- Calling my what?
- Sheep dog, sir.
A regular charmer, sir.
Hear it for miles around, sir.
Take it away,
and yourself with it!
How, how about, how about
some scent for the lady, sir?
That'll do.
Be off about your business.
All right, all right, sir,
I ain't doing no harm.
I ain't doing no harm.
You know, that's what
I hate about this moor.
There's always something strange.
Look, he's limping
on the other foot now.
Barryman?
Yes, sir.
Who delivered this note?
No one, sir. I found it
slipped under the front door.
Thank you.
Oh, Barryman,
is Sir Henry at home?
No, sir.
He's gone across the moor.
Hmm, sorry I missed him.
Did Dr. Watson go with him?
No, sir.
Oh, thank you, Barryman.
- I'll tell Sir Henry you
called, sir. - Yes, do.
Was it you who sent
me that communication?
I did, sir!
Out with it, whatever it is
you want me to hear!
I only want you to hear
this zither, sir.
Zither?
They don't come no finer, sir.
What blasted impertinence!
Getting me out here to see..
Look here my man,
you're up to something!
I...I only ask you to try 'em, sir!
Be careful, the things loaded!
Who are you?
Well, I might ask
the same of you, sir,
traveling around the moor,
spying out on everybody.
That's my business, to spy.
Oh, oh, it is, is it?
Yes, and if you want to know
who I am, I'll tell you.
Who...who are ye?
I'm Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes, the detective?
Yes, and now perhaps you realize
why I can't be hoodwinked.
Oh, sir, sir, sir,
that changes everything.
Now, who are you?
Quick!
Well, in that case, sir,
my name must be Watson.
Ha, ha, ha.
- Holmes!
- How are you, my dear fellow?
A fine detective you are,
calling yourself Sherlock Holmes!
So you've been down here
on the moor all the time!
That's a fine way
to treat me, I must say!
Send me down here, let me think
you were in London,
working on that Blackman case,
make me sit up half the night
writing those blasted reports!
Superior reports my dear Watson,
and very valuable they were, too.
I made arrangements to have
them forwarded on to me.
A shabby trick
which I'll not forget.
Ah, but a very necessary trick.
If I'd come down here
with you and Sir Henry,
every movement of mine
would have been watched.
Why, in this way, only you and
Sir Henry have been watched,
and I've been free to work.
That's all very well,
but making a fool of me.
Sit down, Watson, do sit down.
Perhaps a little supper will
help you to get over your huff.
Huff, I'm in no huff!
Here, try some of these sardines.
It's a pity
I didn't know you were coming,
