Know then the legend of the
hound of the Baskervilles.
Know then that the great
hall of Baskervilles
was once held by Sir
Hugo of that name
a wild, profane, and godless man.
An evil man, in truth
for there was with him a certain
ugly and cruel humour
that made his name a
byword in the county.
- Aye.
fly like a wildfowl
and now he swims like a waterfowl.
Shall we see how he roasts?
Fetch him.
By morning, our friend will know better
than to condemn the sport of his master.
Come on out. Come on.
Here he comes, Sir Hugo.
Here he is, Sir Hugo.
Now our waterfowl has
become guinea fowl.
Guinea pig, more likely.
Bird or beast, we'll soon make
him sing like a nightingale.
Now, sir...
This may teach you to
criticize my pleasures.
If 'twere anyone but my
own daughter, Master...
You should be proud
that a Baskerville
should so much as look
at your miserable child.
Pay up!
No, no! The game was spoiled
before the wager was laid.
Do not crowd me, sirs, I pray you.
I will not pay.
What about the wager?
If I must, I must.
- But not in gold.
- Not in gold?
In kind, with a plaything
I was keeping for myself.
I accept. Where is the girl?
Girl? What talk is this of a girl?
I know of no girl.
Enough!
You shall see her at once, and before
Sir Richard bursts with passion.
See to it that there be no
fighting among your herd of rams.
The bitch has got away.
What does she think I am,
that she does this to me?
Damn her!
I have her now.
You there! Let loose the pack!
And you, my hunter at the door...
- set the hounds on her.
- But, sir, you cannot...
The hounds! Let loose the pack!
- Yeah, I'll get her.
- My friend, you cannot do this.
I'll get her!
May the hounds of Hell take
me if I can't hunt her down!
Come on.
Come on, what's the matter
with you? Come on, will you?
Now, you witch!
No.
"And so, the curse of Sir Hugo
"came upon the Baskervilles
"in the shape of a
hound from Hell
"forever to bring misfortune
"to the Baskerville family.
"Therefore, take heed
"and beware the moor in those dark
hours when evil is exalted
"else you will surely
meet the hound of Hell
"the hound of the Baskervilles.
"So ends the legend."
And what, may I ask, do you
think of that, Mr. Holmes?
There must be hundreds
of similar folk stories.
I fail to see why I should find
this one of singular interest.
What do you say, Watson?
I'm sure Dr. Mortimer's
intentions are for the best
gained from what he's told us.
I had hoped, sir, that the facts
I have laid before you
might have intrigued
you as a detective.
I was obviously mistaken.
Good day to you, sir.
Dr. Mortimer, it was
something more important
that brought you from
Devonshire to Baker Street
something that occurred on Dartmoor
on Friday, the 13th of June.
all the time, then?
I know nothing, except that
you live on Dartmoor
have a copy of the Devon County
Chronicle in your briefcase
dated June 14.
That newspaper is published on Saturdays,
but goes to press on Thursday.
You've kept it for something
vitally important.
The headlines aren't interesting,
so it must be in the stop press.
Whatever it was happened on
Friday, the 13th of June.
- But this is remarkable.
- Superficial.
There's nothing remarkable
about using one's eyes.
Now, sir, would you be prepared
to give us the relevant facts?
Why, yes.
Under the circumstances,
I think I would.
- Proceed.
- Thank you.
This is just the stop press.
