old legend about the hound.
So he brought the hound to life
by the simple expedient of buying
the most savage dog he could find
and hiding it here on the moor
until he needed it.
If he had succeeded tonight,
the blame would have fallen
on the legendary monster,
and no possible suspicion would
have been attached to him.
A most ingenious device.
And I'm quite sure that he
would have had no difficulty
in proving his claim to Baskerville
Hall and all that goes with it.
A most amazing instance of a
throwback that I've ever seen.
- And you can see for yourself..
- Stapleton!
One move and I'll shoot!
- Jack!
- You two, stay where you are!
You're under arrest, Stapleton,
for the murder of Sir Charles
Baskerville, the murder of a convict
and the attempted murder
of Sir Henry!
You can't arrest me, Holmes!
Now, one move from any of you and
I'll blast you all to kingdom come!
So sorry, old boy!
What's the matter, old man?
What's the matter?
That's our man.
Stapleton, a murderer?
He won't get very far.
I posted constables on both the
roads, and the only other way
is across the Grimpen Mire.
I'm so sorry, Miss Stapleton,
I wish I could have
spared you this.
Well, that officially closes
the case, Sir Henry,
and a very interesting case
for your annals, Watson.
An ordinary dog
and an ingenious criminal.
And a more ingenious detective.
I owe you a tremendous debt
of gratitude.
We all do, Sir Henry.
Mr. Holmes, we've admired you in
the past, as does every Englishman.
Your record as our greatest detective
is known throughout the world,
but this, seeing how you work,
knowing that there is in
England such a man as you,
it gives us all a sense
of safety and security.
God bless you, Mr. Holmes.
Thank you, Dr. Mortimer,
thank you.
And now, if you don't mind,
I've had rather a strenuous day.
- I think I'll turn in.
- Of course.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night, Mr. Holmes.
- Good night.
Oh, Watson, the needle.
