The iron tongue of midnight
1:41:08
hath told 12.
1:41:12
Suddenly...
1:41:13
...the number 12 began to ring
in my head like a great bell.
1:41:20
Twelve.
1:41:22
Doctor, how many wounds
were there in Ratchett's body?
1:41:25
- Twelve.
- Mr. McQueen,
1:41:27
how many capital letters,
each inscribed by a different hand,
1:41:30
were contained in each
of the two threatening messages
1:41:33
you showed me on Ratchett's
correspondence file?
1:41:37
Twelve. Twelve.
1:41:38
Colonel Arbuthnott,
how many persons in a jury?
1:41:41
Twelve.
1:41:45
Pierre Paul Michel,
1:41:47
how many passengers
in the Calais coach,
1:41:49
excluding myself
and the murdered man?
1:41:52
Twelve, monsieur.
1:41:55
- Show me your wallet.
- No!
1:41:56
Mr. Hardman,
you may not speak.
1:42:01
Ratchett never asked you to be
his bodyguard, he asked me.
1:42:05
And I, perhaps to
my discredit, refused.
1:42:11
Before you joined Pinkerton's
as a private detective,
1:42:14
you were an ordinary policeman,
were you not?
1:42:19
A cop...
1:42:22
...who, as is customary with cops,
1:42:25
fell in love with
1:42:28
a pretty housemaid
on his beat.
1:42:34
Yes, and would have
married her...
1:42:38
...if...
1:42:45
Your daughter, Paulette,
never died of scarlet fever, did she?
1:42:50
No, she killed herself
1:42:53
when falsely accused
of complicity
1:42:57
in the kidnapping and killing
