There's still one or two
little points, Holmes,
and I can't for the life of me
reconcile with your theory,
about that poor demented convict.
One or two little points?
Surely you can't mean that he
was in London three weeks ago,
sent that letter,
stole that boot?
- Of course not.
- Then who the devil did?
The same person that was responsible
for the death of that convict last night..
...and will try again to murder
Sir Henry tonight. - Tonight?
Unless my imagination has run away
with itself, and I don't think that it has.
Then why are we
rushing up to London,
leaving Sir Henry
entirely unprotected?
We're not, my dear Watson,
we're just giving the impression
of rushing up to London.
In a minute and a half
we'll be in Oak Hampton,
there we'll catch a train
back to Dartmouth,
and if my surmise is correct,
we'll nab our man in the act.
But if you know who it is, why
all this roundabout rigmarole?
- Why don't you have him arrested?
- Because I have no case,
not a shred of evidence
that would hold in any court.
The only way is to
catch him red-handed,
to catch him in such a way that
there's no escape, no alibi.
- And that means gambling with
Sir Henry's life. - But you can't..
Gambling to save his life.
But we've got to take that chance.
Otherwise, the shadow of sudden death
will be forever hanging over his head..
...and sooner or later..
Here we are, Oak Hampton.
And may you both spend the
rest of your years together..
...in happy contentment.
- Here, here.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
And now, I want to thank you all for the
kindness that you've shown a stranger.
And when Beryl and I return,
I want you to know that you'll always
be welcome at Baskerville Hall.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Sir Henry.
It's going to be lonely for you,
Mr. Stapleton, with Beryl gone.
Yes, indeed it will,
Mrs. Mortimer.
I shall be more dependent than
ever upon you, my neighbors.
Don't count upon me, sir.
In my opinion
you're a body snatcher.
And until the courts
have decreed otherwise,
I want nothing whatsoever
to do with you!
Oh, Mr. Frankland.
I say, driver,
can't you go a little faster?
I'm doing the best I can, sir.
You idiot!
We said go faster,
not break our necks.
How fast is it
to Baskerville Hall?
It's five miles by road, sir,
but if you want to
cut over the moor,
- it's only about three.
- Here you are.
- Come on Watson, quick!
- Thank you, sir.
It's been a wonderful evening,
Stapleton.
- Oh, glad you could be with
us, Mortimer. - Thank you.
Take this brooch, my dear, and
wear it on your wedding dress.
It belonged to my
great grandmother.
Something old, something new.
You know.
Oh, that's so sweet of you,
Mrs. Mortimer.
Thank you so much.
And come back to us soon,
both of you.
We will.
May I offer you a lift, my lad?
It's such a beautiful night, Mr. Frankland,
I think I'll walk, thank you.
Merely a gesture of hospitality.
Reject it if you like.
Get up, there!
You're not going to cross
the moor alone, Sir Henry?
Why not? There's nothing
to fear anymore?
We can't be sure.
Oh, but I have Mr. Sherlock Holmes'
own word for it.
Come along, James.
- Good night, Sir Henry.
- Good night, Mrs. Mortimer.
- And the best of luck
to you both. - Thank you.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I wish you'd let Mr. Frankland
drive you home.
I wanted to stay
and say goodnight to you.
This is our last goodnight.
From tomorrow on
there won't be any more, ever.
Tomorrow we'll be away
from this place.
I wish it were now.
So do I.
Oh now, don't be silly.
- Good night, Beryl.
- Good night, dear.
Well, was it a nice party?
Wonderful, everything,
and most of all you.
Jack, I hadn't said very much
about going away,
- but you know how I feel.
- Yes, of course, it had to be.
You won't be too
dreadfully lonely, will you?
No, I shall have my work..
Henry and I will be back
before you even know it.
Yes, of course you will.
Well, you better go to bed now.
You've got a big day
ahead of you tomorrow.
- Good night, Jack.
- Good night, dear.
Over there!
We'll head him off!
Jack!
Where are you?
He's coming to.
You'll be all right, old man.
- Watson.
- Yes, old chap.
- Mr. Holmes?
- Yes.
What, what, what was it?
We've got to get him home,
quickly!
- Can you manage him alone?
- Yes.
Because I've got things to do.
Help get his arm
around my shoulder.
I'm all right.
It's pretty painful, I know,
but it won't take much longer.
Go on, it doesn't hurt.
Now, Mrs. Barryman,
some gauze, please.
I just heard the dreadful news.
Thank heavens, you're safe.
Is he all right?
Well, now we know for certain
that this is no legend, no myth.
There really is a hound.
- Was a hound.
- Yes, Mr. Holmes told me.
I ran into him across the moor.
He asked me to
send you to him at once.
It's a matter of great importance.
He said he'd wait for you at the
spot where the...the beast was killed.
I must finish here first.
This poor boy
has taken a terrific beating.
Well, I could carry on
for you, Doctor.
I'm a bit of a doctor myself,
you know.
Do you think you could manage?
Yes, I'm sure I could.
I think you really ought to go,
Dr. Watson.
Mr. Holmes was most urgent.
Oh, really?
I shall need some hot water,
Mrs. Barryman.
- Oh, I want it boiling, please.
- Yes, sir.
It must have been a terrifying
experience, Sir Henry, terrifying.
It was, it was indeed.
Yes, I can see you're still
weak from loss of blood.
I can't say I feel any too well.
Here, drink this, Sir Henry,
you'll feel much stronger.
I'll see to your other
bandages after.
Oh, it may taste a little
bitter, but don't mind that.
Sir Henry!
Well, feeling better?
Yes, thanks.
I say, that's uncomfortably
close to your eye, isn't it?
Along this side?
Well, well, well.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry,
that was clumsy of me.
It was only a bit of a tonic.
- Sir Henry's lost
considerable blood. - Yes?
Henry?
Henry.
- I'm all right, darling.
- Oh, no you're not.
We heard those dreadful noises
on the way home.
It's a mercy he's alive.
I owe you an apology, Sir Henry,
for jeopardizing your life.
Jeopardizing?
But you saved my life.
But there was no possible way
for me to foretell the final.
And I must apologize too,
for deceiving you last night.
When I told you that
your troubles were over,
I knew that they weren't.
But if I hadn't cleared out,
the crisis, which came tonight,
would have been
indefinitely postponed
with a shadow of death
hanging over you.
And over you too,
Miss Stapleton.
You knew this was going to happen?
How could you know?
The person who wanted to snuff
out your life, Sir Henry,
was the same one
who plotted to kill your uncle.
He wanted to get you
both out of the way
so that he could lay claim to this
place, to the whole Baskerville estate.
In tracing back his lineage,
he discovered not only
that he was the next of kin,
but also learned that
