1:05:01
We told you, you were
taking an awful risk.
1:05:02
Well we had to
have a confession
1:05:04
and these egomaniacs are
always so much more chatty
1:05:06
when they feel they
have the upper hand.
1:05:08
Shall we go?
1:05:12
I can't make head
nor tail of it.
1:05:14
Can you Pat?
1:05:15
It looks like an
old land grant.
1:05:17
It's really a crown grant.
1:05:19
What I don't understand is
1:05:20
why the Musgraves didn't
claim the land ages ago.
1:05:23
Obviously Watson
one of 'em died
1:05:24
before passing on
the meaning of the
ritual to his heir.
1:05:27
The words remain but
the sense was lost.
1:05:29
I wonder why he
left the grant
1:05:31
down there where
he found it.
1:05:32
What good would
it have done him
1:05:33
so long as your
brothers lived.
1:05:35
Once they were
out of the way
1:05:36
and you came
into the property
1:05:37
he expected
to marry you.
1:05:39
I like that.
1:05:40
What ever made
him think that...
1:05:41
He thought himself
irresistible.
1:05:42
Precisely.
1:05:44
It's not unheard of
in cases of egomania.
1:05:45
I suppose then he meant
1:05:46
to rediscover
the crown grant.
1:05:48
At the proper time, yes
1:05:49
and then enjoy his
wife's millions.
1:05:51
Did you say millions?
1:05:52
I did.
1:05:53
Look here.
1:05:58
About eighty
thousand acres
1:06:00
of the richest soil
in the England.
1:06:01
But aren't there
people on it.
1:06:03
Yes, farms, villages,
even a factory town
1:06:05
with hundreds of
workman's cottages.
1:06:07
Is this thing legal?
1:06:08
Perfectly.
1:06:09
Of course it'll drag
on through the courts.
1:06:11
Just a moment.
1:06:12
The people on this land,
1:06:13
they put their money
into it, their life work.
1:06:16
It's their homes
I'll be taking.
1:06:17
Yes.
1:06:19
Do you think I'm going
to kick these people out?
1:06:36
Just the same Holmes
1:06:38
you let poor little Sally
throw away a fortune.
1:06:39
My dear fellow.
1:06:40
I had nothing
to do with it.
1:06:42
The girl, more power to
her, acted on her own.
1:06:44
It was a grand gesture
one she will regret.
1:06:47
I don't think so, Watson.
1:06:50
There's a new spirit
abroad in the land.
1:06:53
The old days of
grab and greed
1:06:56
are on their way out.
1:06:57
We're beginning
to think of what we
owe the other fellow
1:06:59
not just what we're
compelled to give him.
