1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,720
Why, Mr. Holmes, I almost passed you by here in the mist.

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,920
What brings you back to this dreadful place?

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,040
A few steps more and you'd be in the clutches of the Grimpen Mire.

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,560
You escaped at once, old boy, with the help of others.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,960
I fear it will not be so careless to let you go a second time.

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,160
No, don't leave.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,880
I'm not here to mourn my husband.

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,840
He was a beast and a fool.

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:39,400
To be swallowed in the Grimpen's smothering mug was too kind of a fate for him.

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,400
Does my honesty shock you, Mr. Holmes?

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,520
I would not have thought a man of your intellect would be so provincial.

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,800
My husband conspired to murder Sir Henry.

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,520
Should I not celebrate that such a heinous act was averted, that justice was done?

14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,640
Is the Mire any different than the hangman's noose?

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Slower, more torturous, perhaps.

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:14,640
The way it moves and grips and sucks, but the end is the same.

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,240
Sir Henry understands me.

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,240
He sees kinship in our shared victimisation.

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,680
Once a proper amount of time has passed, a year or so, he'll propose to me, and I shall

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,760
become the lady of Paskeville Hall, the land on which is my husband sought by murder.

21
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,080
I will achieve by marriage.

22
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,560
He'll not stay here in Dartmoor, of course.

23
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,800
In truth, sir, the Mire terrifies me.

24
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:50,240
The thick and syrupy grip of the bog, the way it turned every attempt to escape to its

25
00:01:50,240 --> 00:02:00,680
own advantage, the heathen and horrid softness of it, it's a thing to inspire nightmares.

26
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,160
My late husband knew my fear.

27
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,960
He relished in it.

28
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,480
That's why he made his lair on an island deep in the Grimpen's heart.

29
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:17,200
That's why I insisted I aid and accompany him, though, insist it is such a pale word

30
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,480
for the way brute loist me.

31
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,800
That's why I come here still, Mr. Alms, to congeal my error, to face that which most

32
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:34,520
frighten me, the same reason I face you now.

33
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:40,880
When did you realize the plan to murder Sir Henry was mine and not my husband's?

34
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,640
Pray be honest, sir.

35
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:49,000
The condemnation is plain in your cold looks and in the stern, formal way you address me.

36
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,120
It was how you treated my husband when you began to suspect him.

37
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,720
Yet every sneer is an accusation.

38
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,640
So tell me, what clue did we drop unnoticed?

39
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:04,240
What word whispered a falseness?

40
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,880
A matter of character?

41
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Yes.

42
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,880
I see now.

43
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,760
My husband was not a subtle man.

44
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,480
He fancied himself clever when he was barely cunning, a beast and a fool, a plan like the

45
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,560
one involving the hound required, a more devious mind.

46
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,080
I'm impressed, Mr. Holmes.

47
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,040
Had fashioned my role as that of damsel in distress, I thought, your shivering nature

48
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,520
would blind you to my actions, or at least you would attribute my involvement to the

49
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,680
frailty of my sex.

50
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,760
Perhaps you're not as provincial as I thought.

51
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,680
So what's to be done?

52
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800
Do you tell Sir Henry of these suspicions?

53
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Another shock to his weak heart might kill him?

54
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,240
Do you insist the local constable arrest me?

55
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,760
You have no evidence.

56
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,360
Still I prefer you not hunt and harass me.

57
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,000
I need no new hound in my life.

58
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:21,640
So perhaps we can come to terms here, in the mist, where a motive like vision becomes blurred

59
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,480
and dreamlike.

60
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,640
Let's see how provincial you are.

61
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,200
You presume I'm wearing this long coat and thick stockings and my late husband's gumboots

62
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,600
to stave off the chill of the moor.

63
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,960
In truth, they are a convenient camouflage.

64
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:56,000
If I drop the coat and step out of the boots, only the stockings remain.

65
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,440
The rest of me is naked, Mr Holmes, clad only in mist.

66
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,360
How scandalous.

67
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:13,620
A proper young lady like myself, displayed like a two-shilling girl in a London valley.

68
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:15,840
You want me, don't you, Holmes?

69
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:20,360
That grim, pinched expression you wear as a mask, else you'd have picked up my coat

70
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,220
and flung it at me, or turned on your heel and fled.

71
00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:39,080
You men, beasts and fools, not that I blame you, I am beautiful in these breasts.

72
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:54,280
Imagine my hand is your hand, touching them, tracing them, squeezing them, a pinch.

73
00:05:54,280 --> 00:06:02,920
Mr Holmes, you like some pain in your play, oh, oh, that hurts, you wicked man.

74
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:14,880
And what of your other hand, sliding down like this, between my thighs, teasing me,

75
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,360
making me wet, in, inside me.

76
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,400
Is this getting you hard, Holmes?

77
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,520
The sheer impropriety of it.

78
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:37,160
A woman with her fingers inside herself, knowing where to touch, how to touch.

79
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:53,080
Like this, and this, a woman who knows what pleasure is.

80
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,480
Do you want to take me, Holmes, tame me?

81
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:05,920
Do you think my late husband punished me so, terrorised me with tales of the mire, it was

82
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,080
because he knew I didn't need him.

83
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:21,240
I'm going to come, Holmes, while you stand there in glare and sweat, while your cock

84
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:29,280
grows and your morals shrivel, what will it take for you to join me?

85
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Should I press myself up against you like this, grind against you, oh, yes, grab my

86
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:51,000
wrists, grab my wrists, let me rub and rasp against your hard-trapped cock, yes, oh, Holmes,

87
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:07,040
such a stern face, such reserve, such purity, such a lie, I know what you want, I can feel

88
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:16,600
the shape of your sin, your hard-hearted sin, you're a beast, Holmes, like every man.

89
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:25,000
I disgust you, I inflame you, if I can do this, naked on the moor, what else might I

90
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
do?

91
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000
What damp dreams might I fill?

92
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:56,800
I'm going to come, I'm going to come, oh, yes, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

93
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:15,400
oh, you're a fool, Holmes, like every man, letting me get close, thinking a woman is

94
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:22,760
no threat because she's naked, because you're holding her wrists tight to her chest, while

95
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:34,640
her fingers can stroke your throat and the nail can flick, oh, oh, oh, no, you pushed

96
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:41,520
me away, such a hard shove, I might have fallen in this mud, you don't like the pain in my

97
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:52,800
play, it's just a little scratch, man, but the nail is tipped with a sub-perific compound,

98
00:09:52,800 --> 00:10:02,800
you feel it already, don't you, don't worry, it's not lethal, you'll just become confused

99
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:13,080
and cooperative, willing, say, to take a short walk with me in the mist.

100
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,800
The drug will wear off in an hour or so, of course by then you'll be at the bottom of

101
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:26,440
the bog, another victim of the Grimpen-Meyer, I'll watch while you splash and struggle,

102
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:33,400
then I'll wipe away any evidence, put on my coat and boots, and walk blameless into Sir

103
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:44,200
Henry's arms, see, my one regret is that the drug will make you too docile to plead, I

104
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:50,360
would dearly love to hear you beg as you sink, to have my name be the last on your lips as

105
00:10:50,360 --> 00:11:01,080
the mud closes up over you, that sound would excite me through all nights to come, alas,

106
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:09,160
I can't have everything, come now Holmes, follow your stucking footed vixen deeper into

107
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:31,400
the mist, the mar is only a few steps away, what's, no, no, no, I, I can't move my feet,

108
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:47,280
my feet, this mud you've shoved me into, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, my feet are stuck, we were

109
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:55,320
closer to the mar than I thought, the mist, this damn mist, I can't move, I can't move,

110
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:02,720
Holmes, Holmes, give me a hand, fight the drug and give me a hand, I'm trapped you fool,

111
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,440
just the mar has my feet, it's like, it's like glue, like I've stepped into some horrible

112
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:16,520
sticky glue on my stucking feet, god, now I'm sinking, I'm sinking, don't just gape

113
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,720
at me, reach out and take my hand and pull me free, hurry, Holmes, for the love of god

114
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:34,920
man, help me, look at me, Mr. Holmes, look at me, look, I'm beautiful, I'm so beautiful,

115
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,920
I can be yours, I can do things to you, I can do things for you, I can do things for

116
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,520
you, things, things that you've never dreamed of, just please, please, I'm up to my knees

117
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:52,120
in this muck and I can feel the bottom, there is no bottom, nothing under my feet but more

118
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:58,720
just thick, gritty mud, I'm sinking deep but this can't be happening, not for me, not

119
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:10,920
for me, it's so sticky and gripping, sucking, I'm being swallowed up, I'm being swallowed

120
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:25,320
up to my thighs, my hips, I can't, I can't get out, I can't get out, no, please no, not

121
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:32,120
the mire, not the mire, it's so thick and so soft and frightened, Mr. Holmes, please,

122
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:39,520
please help me, please, I must get free, I must get free, up to my breasts, the muck

123
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,120
is covering my breasts, Holmes, wake up, come on, Holmes, wake up, give me your hands, I'm

124
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:53,720
sinking, please, save me, you must save me, please, it's touching my chin, oh you wicked

125
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,720
man, you beast, you fool, a single push and all my plans are all rich and all my beauty

126
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:10,120
lost, Holmes, Holmes, I beg you, the mire, Holmes.
