Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE EXHUMED CLIENT

foreign [Music] thank you [Music] I am the resurrection and the life says the Lord he that believeth in me although he were dead shall live and hear that liveth and believeth shall not die and to almighty God we commend his body to the ground Earth to Earth ashes to ashes dust to dust ensure and certain hope that at the resurrection he will rise again to everlasting life amen well that completes the formal contents of Sir Charles's will may I be the first to congratulate you sir George as a new heir to Farnsworth Castle a massive crumbling stone and a morbid Legend plus an Estates with a handsome Revenue all right negatives were most liberal Mr Clarkson my brother was a generous man he was a bully and a bragger George please Charles is dead now he treated you more like one of his hands than his one Sylvia and you know it Henry you can now do what you've always dreamed of doing by your own Medical Practice two thousand pounds I'm overwhelmed I suppose that finishes the will Clarkson well not quite Sir George your cousin Charles added a most unusual codisil having made many enemies in my life and suspecting that any one of them may be tempted to bring my Earthly days to an abrupt end I hereby direct no matter how I die that Sherlock Holmes be engaged to investigate the circumstances of my death Sherlock Holmes the detective but it's absurd Charles died from a heart attack he was signed the death certificate yourself reasons I won't allow homes to investigate I'm afraid Mr Holmes has already commenced his investigation a court order was issued this morning a court order for what the exhumation of Sir Charles's body the autopsy has been completed Sir Charles died from arsenic poisoning [Music] our Elizabeth it's incredible who could have done it [Music] oh no not so you know she had no reason she had the same reason we all had to our death set her free Justice and set the rest of his feet our homes and the Straits still up in the tower room yes then Dr Watson is there too why is home so interested because the child died there I suppose well perhaps Mr Holmes is interested in the Legends [Music] murders what I believe in homes not Legends running around Australian Legends are sometimes put to surprisingly modern uses by the way what is the legend well it dates back to the walls of the residents essentially fell asleep here one night while on watch as a result they choked his head off ever since that time anyone who sleeps here is supposed to die nonsense quiets and gets the child slept here and he did die it's a coincidence he's already taken the poison they had to die somewhere you know that window is much too narrow for anyone to get in or out with that door locked this place becomes a classic sealed room it was arsenic that killed him Holmes not the room or the legend or the legend Dr Watson you read the autopsy report what's your opinion well there is one thing that struck me as odd this is January it's a chance of eating grapes the night he was poisoned what's that got to do with it well you've done very often find grapes in January not in England anyway clever Watson grapes and January yeah hmm [Music] arsenic out of this jar and someone in this room gave it to him each of you gained from his death we all had access to that drawer inspector the Arsenic was used for garden spraying anyway Charles didn't eat or drink a single thing that night the rest of us didn't then why weren't all of you poisoned too Miss Farnsworth what prompted your brother to sleep in the tile room the night he died [Music] I prompted him Mr Holmes I challenged him too oh really why to put his constant bragging to the test it started at dinner that night [Music] listen your meals are getting progressively more inedible if you can't do better I suggest you find your own home and run it I'll try to do better to us Elizabeth I like children huh what do you know about decent food what do you know about anything I know how to run your estate for you and I miss your making of it too with half the tenants overdue in their rents I won't sweat a man's rent out of him Charles you'll get the rest of the rents by tomorrow or out you go bag and baggage what have you got to say to that foreign by noon tomorrow why must you always humiliated Charles have you no decency no human feelings I am not a Weak Knee like George here that's what you mean courage isn't always physical Charles you remember the time I locked you in the taru you screamed like a stuck pig I was seven years old not a big Brave man like you what do you mean by that you dared like a little boy in that room but you never dared spend a night in it yourself you think I believe that stupid Legend yes and fear it just as you fear anything you cannot hear or see or touch you locked me in to frighten me because you yourself would have been frightened [Music] mechanel and spending the night in the tower room for Charles you muscle your heart if you walked out back and he did Reeves trying to what an old wives tale I will fetch him a candle [Music] I had to break open the tower room next morning I found him dead interesting what kind of grapes were served at dinner that night grapes no grapes were served we haven't had grapes in the house for months Then Who gave Sir Charles The Grapes he ate that night because he did eat grapes that's how he was poisoned no one gave my brother grapes inspector you're wrong the murderer did The Strain The Grapes won't solve your case you know the solution lies in the tower room now look your homes have already gone into all that and and I'm going to find it how could you do that then by spending the night in the towel room myself [Music] Mr Holmes I think you are wrong to take the legend of Farnsworth Castle so like it on the contrary Miss Farnsworth I'm taking it very seriously [Music] and be on guard Mr Holmes [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Holmes how can you possibly solve the mystery here quite simply Watson the murderer is going to try and kill me why because I'm Sherlock Holmes and can I can I stay with you know things are all the same way [Music] thank you [Music] anything happens you will shout out yes loud and strong foreign [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] ings [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] I'll get you back tomorrow thank you [Music] ask me watching Cricket antidote arsenic [Music] foreign [Music] you and I ate the same thing the entire evening Watson I think I know the Killer's Secret foreign it is getting rather late not that I believe in any of the superstitious nonsense be mind you but but you do believe in Murder a Dr Reeves oh well it seems that everyone is surprised at my appearance this morning perhaps relief is I dare say that somebody who's not very relieved what are you talking about I was poisoned last night I am alive this morning thanks to a bit of good luck and some ingenious foresight on the part of Dr Watson on the afternoon the Dr Watson learned the true cause of Sir Charles's death he ordered the ingredients of an arsenic antidote from the local chemist I wonder who sitting at this table now is cursing that foresight do we have to be afraid of every bite we put into our mouths not every bites the George only fool with a flavor strong enough to conceal the taste of arsenic something like grapes for example and if you want to know who poisoned The Grapes I can tell you that too the person who bought the grapes in a London fruit shop on the days that Charles died I'd rather imagined you'd Trace Those Grapes with straight who did in fact buy them Miss Sylvia Taylor you're lying let her answer that to George yes I bought them Sylvia and gave them to Sir Charles when he was in the tower room yes but I didn't poison them I swear I didn't for some reason which he did not yet explain Holmes doubted lestrade's case against Sylvia Taylor furthermore he reasons that the killer would take refuge in her arrest letting the case end there and accepting his own safety he revealed to me that our only hope was to force the killer into making another move in spite of himself the first step was publicly to denounce The Straits case in such a way that the inspector himself would be convinced that he needed more evidence this Holmes hoped would frighten the Killer more evidence you could spend a lifetime going over this place with your magnifying glass and I wouldn't even attempt it but a whole battery of men could accomplish it in a very short time indeed now look here a whole battery of man hmm Mr do you think you get up here sufficient men from Scotland Yard to carry out a systematic and thorough search tonight maybe certainly by tomorrow morning just a moment here this is my home and straight I think Sir George is going to be rather anxious that they come armed with a search warrant I'll get in touch with the yard immediately [Music] what you're sure no one's left the house Barbie on the door said nobody had gone in or out all day well I hope he hadn't been outwitted on this it's been a very tiring time I was watching every move that's being made and getting nowhere yet we can't afford to let out now Watson the pressure's really on him you know he's got fear to contend with no Holmes why do you keep Crossing to that window you know I think it's your pacing up and down all that it's made me more nervous than anything else it is what quickly what's in the tower rooms Justin would you go downstairs immediately and tell this train to bring our four friends up here what are you up to as I had hoped the killers that was all the necessary components of a trap well you better hurry wants me a little time to lose right won't you sit down here think of this seongs exactly home we're going to find a murder illustrade [Music] yes but why here perhaps the Legend's going to tell us yes let's try the legend the weird tale of a headless Sentry and the most convenient one for the murderer who didn't anticipate an autopsy yet why did you choose this room to murder him what is the mysterious connection between the tower room and death I want to stay here any longer I'm Sorry Miss Taylor but we must stay here and wait perhaps all night who knows this is insane I I don't feel very well could I open the window I'll open it for you Elizabeth just getting all the stuff you've known thank you don't bother Dr Reeves I've already tried to help him myself it's quite impossible head is spinning we've got to open the window I feel faint please open the window I've already told you miss Farnsworth it's quite impossible I don't believe you we've make him open the window Elizabeth calm yourself it's just this Eerie room that's getting on your nerves a confounded wind it's enough to send you out of your mind Mr Holland can't be settle this downstairs please try to be calm all of you as I said before we may have quite a long wait here let me out of here Elizabeth open the window do something stop it [Music] you fools you don't understand we've got to have help I have a seat up in the window [Music] it really wasn't necessary to smash the window Miss Farnsworth oh Watson there's a package in that drawer behind you bring it to me will you yes good you see Miss Farnsworth I took the precaution replacing your arsenic candles with harmless ones of course you couldn't be aware of that could you arsenic candles yes lestrade like the one that kills a child [Music] poisoned grapes oh nervously it was a far more ingenious method of killing them back a small room a tiny window and a candle impregnated with Arsenic and giving off fatal fumes [Music] genius yes and it's practical you can inhale sneakers I guess [Music] you see this trade the person who placed those candles there wasn't going to sit through the night and wait for death she had to give herself away I'm sorry to upset all of you but uh quite frankly I didn't know which one of you it was but Holmes why did she choose this room to destroy the candles because this was the only room in the castle that she could be sure would be deserted that night the legend you see [Music] [Music] [Applause] thank you [Music] foreign
