The founder of the clan was 73 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.039 a fourteenth century Scottish warrior by the name of Wolfhound McKinnon. 74 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.080 He reputed to have been so incredibly vicious in battle 75 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.000 that his enemies accused him of being a werewolf a vampire.

I think perhaps 257 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:35.720 our visit was ill timed. 258 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:46.600 Be weey, Please, gentlemen, let's get away from here. I'm 259 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.360 principle you don't care that David. I'd like to give 260 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:50.240 him a good thrashing. 261 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.519 It might be interesting to talk to David McKinnon when 262 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.559 he's away from the influence of Black Angers. 263 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.360 You're wasting your time. Homes a man's a boundery. Besides, 264 00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:59.840 they'll never let us in the house again. 265 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.600 By the front door, true, however, opens to try the 266 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.159 back leave your hatim coat in the bushes here, old 267 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.840 chap rumple up your hair, dirty your face, and adopt 268 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.799 that delightful Scottish dialect of yours. 269 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.559 For the moment we will be plumbers. 270 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.879 Plumbers? How do we know they need plumbers in. 271 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.080 An old castle like this? You can always be sure 272 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.440 of one fact. Something must inevitably be wrong with the drains. 273 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.159 They always need plumbered homes. 274 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.080 You think it's safe. I mean, if black Angust discovers us, 275 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.759 he may be dangerous. 276 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.600 I'm afraid that's the chance we'll have to take. 277 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:31.279 Come along, Watson and try to look as much like 278 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.159 a plumber as possible. 279 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.799 In just a moment, Doctor Watson will continue the story 280 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.080 of black Angers. But first, here's something which would certainly 281 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.559 interest you men about Cremwell hair tonic. Cremwell is one 282 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.559 of the greatest improvements ever made in the history of 283 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.960 hair tonic. It's been especially developed to keep dry, unruly 284 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.960 hair in perfect order all day long, always looking its best, 285 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.919 with a nice, rich luster. Yet Kremmel never gives hair 286 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:14.600 that objectionable, greasy patent leather. Look that kind of hair 287 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:18.240 went out of Star with handlebar mustaches. No Kremmel goes 288 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.039 in for modern handsome hair grooming, and it does lots 289 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.639 more than just keep hair looking handsome. Kremmel removes dandr flakes. 290 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.440 It also promptly relieves itching of dry scalp and leaves 291 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:34.240 the scalp feeling so clean and alive. May I suggest 292 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.039 that tomorrow, when you're out for your Sunday walk or drive, 293 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.600 you stop and buy a bottle of Kremel at any 294 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:40.279 drug counter. 295 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:41.919 It's spelled k. 296 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:52.600 R E m L Kremmel hair tonic. Why now, doctor Watson, 297 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.279 did you and Sherlock Holmes manage to get into McKinnon 298 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.080 Castle disguise this plumbing we did? 299 00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.519 Mister Bell Holmes was right about the drains. We were 300 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.480 welcome to the service entrance with open arms. Figured that 301 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.960 a speaking of course, we were shown down to the 302 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.000 basement and left to our own devices. 303 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.720 As soon as the coast was cleared. 304 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:14.120 I found myself following Sherlock Holmes as he's stealthily mounted. 305 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.679 In an old stone stairway. I must confess that my 306 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:20.080 heart was in my mouth. 307 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.600 The stairway should lead us up to the east wing, 308 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.000 I'd say, And by the way, Watson, you make the 309 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.080 most convincing plummer. 310 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.559 Oh wrong garage. 311 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.240 You know, if I wasn't. 312 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.000 A light on the left door stor slightly adjure, come here, 313 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:39.279 Watson wouldn't see through the crack. 314 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.080 A man seated in front of the dressing table, staring 315 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.039 into the mirror. 316 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.480 Candlelights flickering. But I'll give you answer. That's black air. 317 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.120 It's like this home. I don't like it. He met Holmes. 318 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.039 He's got a revolver, he's raising it. 319 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.559 Angus McKinnon. Put down that revolver? Who got deverlop you? 320 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.840 My name is Sherlock Holmes. 321 00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:58.960 A tall post. 322 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:00.399 I throw you out this time. 323 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.600 I'll do it. My cnya crying mister McKinnon, I know 324 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.440 what you were thinking when you raised that revolve at 325 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:05.879 your temple. 326 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.600 Just now and believe me. You're wrong. 327 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.919 You can't possibly know I think I do. 328 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.840 You are convinced that you have been killing these sheep dogs. 329 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.399 You have been so preoccupied with the legends of your 330 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.279 great ancestor Wolf found McKinnon that you think that your 331 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.240 brain has snapped and. 332 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:20.600 That you've turned into a vampire. 333 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.240 You're right, mister Holmes, but how you found out is 334 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.720 beyond me. You know about the dogs, the sheep don't 335 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.080 with their throats torn out? 336 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.159 Yes, we know about them. 337 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.960 Have we found on as we were driving out about 338 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:33.759 a mile from here. 339 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.840 I know they've brought me that you is not more 340 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.320 than two hours ago. It won't happen again. 341 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.720 You are convinced that you are responsible for these killings? 342 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.960 What health can I think? All the evidence, the blood 343 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.120 stains on mcloak, and I know those stains are not 344 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.320 caused by human blood. You remember nothing, nothing, But when 345 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.399 I think of a heritage at the mckinnons, how can 346 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.000 I doubt? 347 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.799 Then that's the reason your son was recalled from London yesterday. 348 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.759 It suddenly had. 349 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.559 Proof of what you thought to be your own morbid tendencies, 350 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.920 and so you sent a message to your only son, 351 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.079 warning him that he must not allow the woman he 352 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.519 loved to marry into a family stained with madness. 353 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:16.440 Holmes, you seem to understand my problem, but I will 354 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.400 not discuss it with you. Go away, both of you. 355 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.920 A McKinnon canna go to his meger before strangers. 356 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.480 Mister McKinnon, give me your help in a few hours, Grace, 357 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.119 and I am convinced I can prove to you that 358 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.160 you're the victim of a devilish. 359 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.920 Plot, a plot I don't understand. 360 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.359 Come no, mister mc kinnan. 361 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:36.279 In this year of grace, it's a little hard to 362 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:37.480 believe in vampires. 363 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.759 But how can you disprove the evidence I've seen with 364 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.039 my own eyes? The human teeth? 365 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.400 Might wouldn't be hard to conceive of an instrument that 366 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.359 could simulate those marks, mister McKinnon. 367 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:49.519 But who could think of such a fiendish plan? And 368 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:50.559 what would be the votive? 369 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.279 I have a suspicion, But what's more important that the 370 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.359 immediate moment is to find the evidence. An instrument such 371 00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.279 as I've suggested would be damning proof. Therefore it would 372 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.559 be hidden in the most secure hiding place in the castle. 373 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:03.880 Now what would be the most secret place? 374 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:04.559 The cellars? 375 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.599 I we half extensive cellars. 376 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.759 We'll search them. But another possibility occurs to me. In 377 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.200 castles as old as this, there's often a secret room, or, 378 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.119 as they were sometimes called, a priest's hole. 379 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.559 You are quite right, mister Holmes. We have their hiding 380 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.079 place here, though I haven't been in it for years. 381 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.880 Another stairway leads down between the walls from an entrance 382 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:26.000 behind that big cabinet. 383 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.200 Splendidness McKinnon. 384 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:29.160 You have a lantern there under dressing table. 385 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.839 I like it, thank you, Watson. 386 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:33.680 I have a strong suspicion that the solution of the 387 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.119 postponed wedding ceremony, as well as that of the mangled dogs, 388 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:54.400 lies at the foot of that secret stairway, a fell 389 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:54.720 of real. 390 00:18:54.640 --> 00:19:02.559 Pleasure, the stool cobwebs okyoga. Though we've been down here recently, homes, 391 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:03.200 I'd swear to that. 392 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:05.799 Give me the lantern, Watson, will you awful? 393 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.759 Thanks? Uh huh. 394 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.440 Look here in the dust on the floor, footprints, footprints. 395 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.240 Leading to that old chest in the corner over. 396 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:20.720 The guess doesn't seem to be locked. Look, mister McKinnon, 397 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.200 see this devil's instrument. 398 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.160 What is it? 399 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:24.839 That looks like a metal trap? 400 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.599 It is with jaws of steel and a powerful. 401 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.480
