:58:00
examining both bodies
:58:02
and failed to report
the real cause of death.

:58:05
And that was?
:58:07
A sustural needle thrust
up into the brain

:58:09
between the base
of the skull

:58:11
and the cervical
vertebrate.

:58:12
I had the unpleasant duty
:58:13
of removing this
piece of a needle

:58:15
from Phillip
Musgrave's head.

:58:17
It couldn't be yours by
any chance, could it?

:58:19
I never owned one.
:58:20
Oh yes you did.
:58:22
I saw it in your case
:58:25
the night I came
into this house

:58:28
just after
Geoffrey Musgrave

:58:30
was found murdered.
:58:32
It wasn't broken then.
:58:34
It was only when you
killed Phillip Musgrave

:58:35
that you lost
a piece of it.

:58:37
Nonsense.
:58:38
Why should I go around
:58:39
sticking needles
into people?

:58:40
A fair enough
question, doctor.

:58:42
Among nice people
:58:43
murder like matrimony
:58:44
generally has a motive
:58:46
and in this case the
motive was matrimony.

:58:49
Oh you mean Miss Sally?
:58:51
I do.
:58:52
Oh I see so you think
:58:53
it's a case of
murder for profit.

:58:54
Precisely.
:58:56
My dear Holmes.
:58:57
That won't do.
:58:58
The Musgraves
are lamb poor.

:58:59
Everybody knows that.
:59:00
Exactly.
:59:01
But everybody didn't
know what you knew.

:59:04
You worked out
the meaning

:59:05
of the Musgrave ritual.
:59:07
I have?
:59:08
Oh.
:59:09
Yes.
:59:10
You have.
:59:12
You claimed you
knew nothing

:59:13
about the game of chess.
:59:15
When I suggested
you'd moved

:59:16
off your proper square
:59:18
you promptly named
king's bishop three

:59:20
and what's more
moved back onto it.

:59:22
Nonsense.
:59:24
Why shouldn't I have
stepped out of my
square in the first...

:59:25
Mess up my moves,
spoil my game

:59:27
and protect me
from finding

:59:28
what you had
already found.

:59:29
And that was?
:59:31
The old land grant
I took from this box

:59:33
which would have
made Sally Musgrave

:59:35
upon the death
of her brothers,

:59:36
the richest
woman in England.

:59:41
Now what's that?
:59:43
Don't tell me you
found another needle?

:59:47
No, no.
:59:48
It's just a button.
:59:51
It wouldn't be
yours, would it?

:59:53
Mine?
:59:55
Clearly.
