:37:04
What are they doing
now, doing now?
:37:07
I don't know.
:37:08
They stopped talking.
:37:10
Somebody's walking
about in the upper hall,
:37:13
heavy footsteps.
:37:23
There's no doubt
about it, Watson.
:37:25
Phillip Musgrave had a
visitor here last night.
:37:27
These footprints were made
:37:29
either by a very heavy man
:37:30
or a man carrying a
very heavy burden.
:37:31
That's right, Mr. Holmes.
:37:33
It's no good
saying it ain't.
:37:34
The burden was Phillip
Musgrave's body
:37:36
and these here
footprints
:37:37
were made by
Alfred Brunton.
:37:39
It doesn't
necessarily follow.
:37:40
Oh don't it.
:37:45
Here, try that on
your footprint.
:37:52
And that's Alfred
Brunton's shoe.
:37:55
Fits perfectly, inspector.
:37:56
Uh-huh.
:37:57
But the fact
that these prints
:37:59
were made by
Brunton's shoes
:38:00
doesn't prove
that Brunton's
feet were in them.
:38:01
Why not?
:38:02
Where should
Brunton's feet be
:38:04
if not in his own shoe?
:38:05
Well they're
not in them now.
:38:06
Look here, Holmes.
:38:07
Let's use our intellect.
:38:09
Your what?
:38:10
What's wrong with that.
:38:11
Let's stick to motive.
:38:12
That's my strong point.
:38:13
Now this here
Brunton had motive.
:38:15
Phillip Musgrave gave
him the sack, didn't he?
:38:16
Did Geoffrey Musgrave
also gave him the sack?
:38:17
What's that got
to do with it?
:38:18
Everything.
:38:19
The similarity of
method in both murders
:38:21
shows they were the
work of one man.
:38:22
Well that leaves
Vickery out.
:38:23
He was in jail at the
time of this murder.
:38:25
All right, all right.
:38:26
Alfred Brunton's our
man, just what I said.
:38:28
What possible motive
could Brunton have had
:38:30
for the murder of
Geoffrey Musgrave?
:38:31
Motive.
:38:32
Oh bother motive.
:38:33
Who cares about motive.
:38:34
This case is as
simple as ABC.
:38:36
Is it?
:38:37
Then perhaps you
can explain to us
:38:38
why these footprints
lead up to a blank wall
:38:40
and never return.
:38:41
What?
:38:42
You didn't think of
that, did you inspector?
:38:44
There's just one
possible explanation.
:38:45
I've got it.
:38:47
Brunton murdered Musgrave
right up against the wall.
:38:51
He hoisted the body
over his shoulder
:38:53
like this you see,
:38:55
walks backwards clean
out of the room.
:38:59
That's a very undignified
position, Lestrade.
