The sun shining, birds are singing, and all feels right in the world. Until the season changes, and suddenly you lose your motivation to get out of bed. In fact, one in five people experience some form of depression no matter the season or time of year. At the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, our vision is to build a mentally healthy nation for all. Because we want you to live your best life and be your best you all year round. Please visit mentallyhealthynation.org to learn more. I heard it once before, it's the sun they have on the moon.
What's it? Because the cry of a hung, the hung of the best of it all. Even to this day I tremble when I recall his words. My name is Watson, Dr. Watson. And it was my privilege to share the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I'll just refresh your memory on events so far. Then we'll tell you what happened next, concerning the hung of the best of it all. When Dr. Motimer had finished his strange story of the hung of the best of it all, and house at Charles, it made his death, my friend Sherlock Holmes persuaded Dr. Motimer and me to accompany us a Henry Vescaville to the ancestral home on Dotwell. While Holmes remained behind in Baker Street, we soon found ourselves driving across the Moor to Baskerville Hall.
Wonderful country, isn't it, Doctor? There you go. There you go. Have you heard him in the other room? Hello? What is it? Not there on the skyline, huh? Oh, a man, I'm horsebacked. Oh, with a rifle. Oh, there's a config to escape from the Brithensburg. Oh? He's out there three days now. The waters are watching every road. About those five in the end. Farmers back here don't like it during that time. But who is he then? Solon, a not-no bird rare. Solon? And he's somewhere out there hiding in the barrel like a wild beast. It's all this more needs, definitely. I don't know if it's my imagination, but it's getting mighty cool. Welcome to Baskerville Hall. Thank you. You are a Barrymore, I do. I am Sir Henry. I see. Doctor, will you stay for dinner?
No, thank you if you don't mind. My wife will be expecting me. I'd say to show you over the house, but the animal will be a better guy than I. Very well. Uh, Therkins. Therkins, Dick. Dr. Mottema, on with you. Oh, a violent doctor. Thank you for all the help you've done. Oh, doctor, it's just as I imagine it. Raptors, oak canelings, heads, coutes of arms. Isn't it the very picture of an old family home? And my people have lived here for five hundred years. Excuse me, sir Henry. Yes, Barrymore? Sir, my wife and I will be happy to stay with you until you've made fresh arrangements. Fresh arrangements? Do you mean your wife and you want to leave? Only when it's quite convenient to use her. Well, I'd be sorry to solve my life here by breaking an old family connection.
I feel that too, sir. So does my wife. Well, what's the trouble? It's until the truth, sir. We were both very much attached to Sir Charles. And his death gave us a shock and made these surroundings very painful to us. And the phrase we could never be easy in our minds at Baskerville Hall again. What do you plan to do? Well, I've no doubt, sir. We shall succeed in establishing ourselves in some business. Sir Charles, his generosity has given us the means to do it. I see. And no, sir. Perhaps I'd better show you what you're doing. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. It's curious I think I was all agreed.
I had a fantastic bit. A woman, Sub-Eat. This morning before then. Oh right, no, no. It's a very good breakfast. Tell me, we both thought we've had a woman crying in the night. Do you know anything about it? No, sir Henry. There are only two women here at night. One is the skull she made who sleeps in the West Wing and the other is my waste. It certainly wasn't her. Can I bring you more coffees? No, thank her. Very good, sayin' me. I don't believe in. Why not? My past business is better, more my way downstairs. My eyes were red and swollen. It must have been her. Do you think it was him following me in that cabin, Regent Street? No, she'll find out. Oh, how? When we left, you walked a lunch in London. And homes entered telegram to bear him all with strict instructions that it must be delivered personally to bear him all returned. I thought I'd walk over to do him from first office and have a word with the first master.
It'll give me something to report to homes. If you ever look... No, no, no, I've got a lot of papers to attend to here. You go on your own. I'll see you back here for a lunch. You watch me clearly, isn't it? My boy took the telegram and gave it his Barrymore. Why not to Mr. Barrymore himself as he instructed? He was up in the loft at the time. You didn't want to see him? Well, surely his wife ought to know where he is. He got the telegram, didn't he? It is any mistake. It's a Mr. Barrymore to complain. Yes, excuse me, but... Isn't this Dr. Watson? Yes, but I don't think I have any. Allow me to introduce myself. A staple to nook and etiquette house. Oh, a staple to nook and etiquette house. I hope so, him is none the worse for his journey. Yes, very well, thank you. Excellent. Are you going back to Baskerville Hall now, Doctor? That was my entrance. Then I'll roadside together. And just over there, you can see the pool of smoke from here. And that's where I live, but in any pit house. There's only a moderate work from Morapath.
If you've got few minutes to spare, I'd appreciate the honour of introducing you to my sister. I should be delighted. Oh, come along, then. So you mind if you place the morgue? It's never tar of it. You can't think what secrets it contains. You know it well, then. I've been here two years. The resident's growing in newcomer. But my case slayed me to explore every part of the country around. Andrew from here? Yeah, I'm an ass-lesson. Some of the locals laugh at my buzzer flying that in his chin. I was carrying it. Oh, a little bit of this. So, oh, there are even recently come here. I see things for a few men who know the morgue better than I do. It's very easy, so hard to know. Very hard. You see that great plane to the north with the hills behind it? That is the great leap and mile. A full step down is death to man or beast. It's dangerous to cross even the dry seas. After exalting rains, it's an awful place. Yes, I can find my way to the very heart of it. Come back alive.
Right, so you want to go to such a dreadful place? Well, you see the hills, the rock. There are really islands cut off on the other side by the mountains. There's a cool round in the course of years. That's just where the rock plants and butterflies are. But when a two-house is an active man, can you take it? Well, I'll try my luck someday. God, so put such an idea out of your mind. You wouldn't have a chance. Certainly by remembering very complex landmarks that I can do it. Good heavens, what was that? We're a place, the morgue. But what is it, man? Pesson says the hunt of the Baskables calling for its prey. Where this thing I have ever heard my life. You mean India? Yes, it's your life. It's all an unknown place. We're together. Look at that fuel site. What do you make of those circular wings of stone? What are they? See, pens? No. They're the homes of our worthy ancestors. It's quite a town. When was it inhabited? Realistic man. No, date. Oh, excuse me. Do you see that butterfly? It's a cyclophadies.
Very rare. You're scared to see them in autumn. I must try and get it. I'll tell you not to be careful, I'm telling you, I'm telling you. What? Is呢, what he's doing? Go straight back to London Go back and insult the morgue, and we'll reach out to the expectations. That's OK, the man who met his tale. With a rich in OK, down the morgue, they'd get rather late for them. Darryl, if you choose yourself, I see. Yes, I would send him to him, is it the OK, it's nearly over? That's not a Henry Baskerville. No, earlier, how more common I'm his friend, Dr. Watson. Then we've been talking across courtesy. Why, you haven't very much time to talk. I talk to this doctor once and we're already doing instead of just a little thing. It can't matter to him whether it's only for him.
Oh, never mind. Don't please come and see me at his house, Doctor. No, really, I thank you, I promise, second-rate. It must be a pleasure at the third. Oh, why, Dr. Watson? Goodbye, sir. Come, Donald. I don't know, we didn't do it from late to business. I said to you, as I didn't wish to arise. Henry's curious to her alarm. I mentioned to him that I met the staple Chinese, but not that she had whispered to me in a strange morning, even that I was the Henry myself. The staple to my lens is the school master in the north, whose school was running wild, and in epidemic, you feel the boil, and it never recovered from the blow. So Henry's in excellent spirits. We've been sitting over the farm, talking, with the portraits of the Baskerville ancestors looking down us. Thirdly, it was clock in the morning. Was that? Ah, say Henry, any wrong? I'm not sure. There was a crazy in the passage outside.
I saw a candle and a shadow. Well, I can't see. Yes. There you are. That's a light in one of those rooms. Oh, is it? Very well. What's he doing? He seems to be signaling the candle. I should think it's staring out on the wall. And our home's little mouth can't constipation to report this morning. No more nocturnal wonderings. And today, Mr. Stapleton is handsome, sister, a genius for luncheon, Dr. Mordemann. The home's a new complication. If we had not enough, the Henry's shown
an obvious attachment to Mr. Stapleton's sister. This was clear enough that our first luncheon brought her over to Euler, and equally clear, with Mr. Stapleton's hostility. Now, the thing has moved further, a meeting on the moors between Sir Henry and Mr. Stapleton, interrupted with angry words for the joyousness to stick to him. Oh, there's nothing between this never night for better motor repeat his strange behavior. Yes. Watson, he's come to this room again. I'm going to challenge him. Bring some repal back. Euler. Ready. Hi. Sir, Claremore. What are you doing here? Nothing, Sir. He must have been holding that candle as a signal. Do you mean that? It's not a signal, Sir. You can be that candle. Now, there's a seal as any answer. Yes, Sir. There is a spy Joviess. Waskle.
They're still going as a signal. It's my business, not yours. Ah, there it is, by Joe Fles. Rascal. They still deny the signal. It's my business, not yours. But then fight. And do you leave my employees in the morning? Come on, Tim. Bring your revolver. I heard it. I'm going to check that man out there, whoever he may be. This is Jimmer Wingrotton. Yes. Now where was that answering like, is it? Uh, shut up. That's your show. By the near-lifting hot circle. Good chance. My dad wasn't. I don't know. I heard it once before. It's the sound they have on the more. Wasn't. It was the cry of the horn. The sound of the festival. No. Barrymore. To whom are you signaling? Dr. Watson.
Dr. Watson and I go out a little more and fight some trophy remnants of food and shelter. Who's that familiar? Don't ask me so many. Don't ask me. I give you my words. It's not my secret life. I'm Barrymore. I do a shame to herself. Still a family of good with mine under this roof over a hundred years. And here I bring you deep in some plot against me. No. No, sir. Not against you. This is Barrymore. As you come here. Oh, let me speak. It's my doings ahead. Barrymore. He's done nothing except for my sake. I asked him to do it. Well, speak out then. What does it mean? My brother. It's tithing out there on the moon. Your brother? It can't let him page it out very late, sir. Our light is a signal. We have food for him. Then your brother is? The escaped comfixer. Zelda. The criminal. It's. I can't blame you for standing by your own wife.
You've seen a man's a commit danger. In a very few days, you'll be on this weight of South America. If you can only lie quiet till the ship's ready for him. I beg you not to let the police know we still on the moon. What do you say, Watson? Well, if you were safe out of the country, it would read the text there of the burden. That's true, I suppose. I guess we're eating and abetting up. I mean, that's near some treasure. What was I in my... All right. I don't feel now. I can get the man up and... That's what I'm doing. Oh, sir. Sir, angry. Yes? What is it now? You've been so kind to us, sir, that I... I should like to do the best I can and return. I know something. What do you mean? It's about poor Sir Charles' death, sir. What? Did you know how he died? Oh, sir. I don't know that. What happened? I know why he was at the gate. Why in meet a woman? A woman? Yes, sir. What was her name? I can't give you that, sir, but I can't give you one initials. They were L-L.
How do you know that? Well, sir. You're unclear to let her that morning. It was from Coon Tracy, an address in a moon's ad. Well? I thought no more in that, sir, but the other day, my wife was cleaning out Sir Charles' study. And she found the ashes of a burned letter in the back of the grave. Most of it was Charles' pieces, but there was just one slip you could still read. Oh, what did it say? It said, please, please, as you are a gentleman, burn this letter and be at the gate by ten o'clock. And the initials were L-L. And you've no idea who L-L is? No, sir. Very good, Barrymore. You and the wife may go. Thank you, sir. Thank God bless you, sir. No. L-L.
Yeah, don't tell me. Ah, Dr. Malibur. Hello. Are you taking a walk? Yes, I'll be right around the back, Tom. Oh, let me give you one a tone, then. Oh, thank you. Yeah, there. I'm very upset, Dr. Malibur. It's a nice, spaniard who's disappeared. Oh, yes, little curly hair, Jack. When we're passing to the moon, I'll never come back. Oh, I'm sorry. Any news in Sherlock Holmes? Well, there's a hole here. Acknowledges my reports. If you don't say much. Who's watching that? Hey, you, though. You know, he's a little woman living around here with the initials L-L. Not that I know of. L-L. Oh, sure. Oh, great to meet you. Yes, a bunch there is. Law and lions of cool Tracy. Oh, sure. Well, there are some artists that are called lions who can't get you on the moors. He walked out and heard another poor girl who hasn't a penny. No, there's a loop. Several of us have helped her. Staple tons of trials. So have I. She's managed to start a little typewriting business. Why do you ask? Oh.
Just curiosity. Hmm. Just curiosity. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Mrs. Wells. Oh. I don't think we've met. Mr. Uh, Dr. Dr. Watts. Oh. How do you do? How do you do? The intro is about to late, such as basketball that comes to you. Well, can I tell you about him? Yes. I have a great deal to his kindness. Did you correspond with him? What is the object of this interrogation? Do I avoid a public scandal? Yes. I did write one for Christ, Mr. Charles. Do you acknowledge his generosity? How did you know enough about your affairs to believe me? They help you. So, my friend, Mr. Staple, did you ever write to Mr. Charles asking him to meet me? Truly, sir. I certainly not. Not on the very day of Mr. Charles's death. No.
Charlie, I'll never introduce you. Didn't you write to him? Please, please burn this letter and get the gauge by ten o'clock. Yes. I believe that if I could see him, I could gain his help. Well, what happened when you got there? I never went. This is Lyon. I swear, little, all I hope sacred. Something intervened to prevent my daily. What? You probably know that I made a rash noise. And I've had reason to regret it. Yes, I've heard something all the time. My husband have made my life one incessantly persecuted. Oh, dear. I'd known that there was a possibility of regaining my freedom. Each certain expenses could be met. And I thought that if Mr. Charles heard the story for my own lips, he might help me. Then why didn't you go? Because I received help in the interval from another source. Then why didn't you write us a charge and explain it? I was going to. Then the next morning, I heard that he'd die.
I thought you got lost on the moor, sir. Come on, your lunch is waiting for you. No, thank you. No, no, no, I didn't get lost. I was hanging back from Mrs. Lyon's and Mortimer's stuffed mess. Yes, he forgotten to tell me that he has observed a boy. Go up every day towards those stone hats on the hill. Regularly stuck with. That's odd. Oh, a banner. What's the nonsense here now? Very good, sir. Oh, and a banner. Do you know anything about a boy going up on the moors? Is he anything to do with that precious relation of yours? No, sir. I think he treats food to that other man. What other man? No, sir. So, and says he's got a convict, he says he's living in one of those stone hats and the boy brings him up food from one of the villages. But he doesn't know who he is. No, sir. He doesn't like it. He doesn't know who he is, sir. I can tell you. Waiting for something he seems to be.
There's foul place. Where's her? I'll swear it. Oh, what else can it be? Do you think it's that same fellow who was following you about in London? Huh? I better send it up for a bad telegraph. No, I'll do business. I'll go up on the moor as evening. I'll come with you. No, I can't finish it. That was only his last word to me. Cheap him off the moor, especially after dark. And because I'm dark with them, I get that. Love my dear fellow. Don't worry. I'll take care of all that. I can go after myself. Do you realize, sir Henry? This fellow may be the cheese. Oh, mystery? He gave us a snippet region. She thanks to his handsome cab. Well, you won't do it off the earth. Who knows? For once I may succeed while eating homes. That's right. With tingling nerves, I sat in the dark recesses of a hut. And worked here for the coming of its dinner.
In the trash. Why are you looking at me? Love. It's a lovely evening walk. Oh! I really think you'll be more comfortable outside the room. Oh! Oh! And please be careful with that revolver. That's nice. Yes, sir. I was never wrong. That's the end of my life. How did you know I was in there? What's wrong? If you see a list of those surprised me, you must change out the package. Oh. My surname? Yes. You threw it down the doubt of that suit. Please remember when you charged into the empty house. How in the name of wonder did you get here? I thought you wouldn't pick a suit working on that case of blackmailing. That was what I wished to do. I'd been able to see him. Or I'll loungeed. Come and trace him. Well done. We obviously did working on parallel lines.
But did you learn? She made an appointment with Sir Charles at the gate. She'd miss that, sir. She wanted money to help her divorce. But I never went. Something happened to make her change her mind, but she wouldn't tell me what. She also said that she first called in touch with Sir Charles to stay with him. Now that's important. It bridges the gap. You're aware I suppose that there's a close intimacy between the lady and Sir Koldo? No, I didn't learn. There's no doubt about it. Now this puts a very powerful weapon into my hand. If I can only use it to the past, stay put in his wife. His wife? Yes. The lady who passes plays sister is his wife. Good. He knows why. He's an average reception. Because he foresaw that she'd been more used to him as a free woman. Then... Is he our enemy? Well, is he who dogs us in London? So I read the riddle? Stay put. And the morning letter that must have come from her? Exactly. But Holmes, how do you know this woman is worried? Because she's so far from God himself as to give you a true piece of autobiography when he first met you. There's no one easier to trace than a schoolmaster than once.
They put an after. It is murder once. Refined, cold-blooded, deliberate murder. My God, what's that? The Holmes! Three heavens of where to lay coalesce and coalesce! The hang of the best mills is one of the most famous stories of Sherlock Holmes from the Inspired Pendlestar Arthur Conan Doyle. We're presenting it in three parts. You've just heard part two. My name in real life is Norman Schellen. My old colleague, Carlson Hobbs, fell shell of Holmes, and I was Dr. Mosson. Felix Schellen wrote the script for this BBC production from London.
I look forward to the pleasure of your company again very soon. For part three of the hang of the best mills.
