1:06:02
but you can't
prove a thing.
1:06:03
That remains to be seen.
1:06:04
Lestrade will
you pick up
1:06:07
Captain Simpson's
revolver
1:06:08
and have a look at it?
1:06:12
One bullet fired?
1:06:13
That's right Mr. Holmes.
1:06:15
I have no doubt that the
ballistics will prove
1:06:16
that the missing bullet
killed Alex MacGregor.
1:06:19
It's good enough for me.
1:06:20
If what you say is
true Mr. Holmes
1:06:22
there ain't a jury
in the country that
won't convict them.
1:06:29
And so just retribution
has been visited
1:06:31
upon the six members
1:06:32
of the Good Comrades,
1:06:34
whose nefarious plan
1:06:35
was unmasked in
the nick of time.
1:06:36
By the brilliant
detective work
1:06:38
of Inspector Lestrade
1:06:39
of Scotland Yard.
1:06:41
Of all the balderdash,
1:06:43
Lestrade hasn't got
the faintest idea
1:06:45
what it was all about.
1:06:46
I don't know Watson.
1:06:48
After all we know
who is responsible
1:06:49
for solving the mystery
1:06:51
of the Good Comrades.
1:06:52
That's right.
1:06:53
If it hadn't been
for Mr. Holmes
1:06:56
that headline might
have been about me.
1:06:59
Mr. Holmes one
thing puzzles me.
1:07:00
What?
1:07:01
How did they manage
those fake murders?
1:07:03
Oh elementary my dear
Charles, elementary.
1:07:06
I can explain all that.
1:07:07
Whenever there
was a funeral
1:07:08
of some old chap in
the neighborhood
1:07:10
they dug up the body
1:07:12
and dressed it
in the clothes
1:07:13
of all their members,
1:07:14
then they staged
a fake death
1:07:16
and mutilated the body
1:07:17
beyond all
recognition.
1:07:18
In the meantime,
1:07:19
the so-called corpse
1:07:21
disappeared quietly
into the smuggler's room
1:07:22
underneath
Driercliff House.
1:07:24
I think...
1:07:25
I think that about
sums the whole thing.
1:07:27
Tell me Doctor Watson,
1:07:28
in the simulated death
of Captain Simpson
1:07:30
how do you account
1:07:32
for the tattooing
on the torso?
1:07:34
Tattooing on the torso...
1:07:38
well I...
1:07:41
Go on Watson, tell him.
1:07:45
Well the tattoo...
1:07:50
well the tattooing
on the torso...
1:07:53
sorry Holmes.
1:07:55
Captain Simpson
was an expert
1:07:56
with a tattoo needle.
1:07:57
He merely duplicated
the poor rigged ship
1:07:59
on the chest
of the corpse.
