Now I'll tell you what. 34 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,000 Thank you, Doctor. Began in Vienna in 18189, many, 35 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,320 many years before the insane house painter named 36 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,240 schickelgruber had converted that gay city into a place of 37 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,520 fear and. Oppression. 38 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:25,400 And what were you and Sherlock Holmes doing there, Doctor? 39 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,320 Just taking a trip. Mr. Foreman, in those early days 40 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,120 of our association we didn't have the time or the money for 41 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,080 just for taking trips. No, no, no. 42 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,240 We were in Vienna cause Holmes had been engaged in certain 43 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,240 highly important investigations. We were staying in a charming 44 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,960 proportion inhabited by students and musicians, and on the night 45 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,680 the story began, we'd finished dinner and had returned to our 46 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,040 room. I was busy making some notes on 47 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080 the investigation we just concluded, and Holmes was 48 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,040 scraping away at his beloved violin. 49 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Found it. What's wrong? 50 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,000 Why can't I get it? Oh, it sounds pretty to me. 51 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,920 Pretty really old chap. Not a turn, a happy fingered one 52 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:15,880 at best. Listen to this. 53 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,160 Sounds like a fiddler's Nourish wake. 54 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,280 Take it easy, homes, Take it easy. 55 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,640 There's no need to fling the violin down like this. 56 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,200 That's no chap, I'm with all your other excellent qualities. 57 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,880 Are you not a pianist? What's the? 58 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120 Piano got to do with it. In this case, everything. 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,880 There's a piano in this room, and if you could play it, the 60 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,280 Mozart Sonata I'm struggling with might have some meaning. 61 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400 Come in. Oh, good evening, Pauline. 62 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,360 You wish to see me? You are. 63 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,600 That is my name. Then you are I wish to see. 64 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,360 You.

Good to meet you. 68 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,400 Ullenstein, may I pay my tribute to the brilliance of your piano 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,360 playing. You have the exact position of 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160 praising that Mozart demands. How? 71 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,080 Do you know of you? Both Doctor Watson and I were 72 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,160 present the command performance you gave at the Imperial Court a 73 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,320 fortnight ago. Hey Julius, I knew I'd seen you 74 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,040 somewhere before. My friend was just expressing 75 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680 the need of a fairness that you walked in young lady. 76 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,840 Perhaps the the two of you. I do not play with amateur. 77 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,680 Amateur. Well, really I do not. 78 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,720 Mean to be rude. It's just that my life is 79 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,160 dedicated to my professional career. 80 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,880 I quite understand and now please tell me what can I do to 81 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,000 help you. I must presume you'll come to 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000 see me in my professional capacity. 83 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,000 That is correct here, Holmes. So I realized to a great 84 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,240 detective like you, my hablim must seem quite trivial. 85 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:44,440 I. I'm being. 86 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,240 Blackmailed by a man in the sponsion, He is Chandra Aapadi, 87 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640 a Hungarian painter who lives in the studio upstairs. 88 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,360 Chandra. Aapadi. 89 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,760 Yes, I think I've heard of him. Since two months now, ever since 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,840 you know my secret, he's come to me for money. 91 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,120 And today he told me he must have 250 Guten or he will go to 92 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,440 the police. I have not that much money here, 93 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,680 Holmes. Please do tell me what I shall 94 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,440 do. Just what hole does he have over 95 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640 you? My brother Carl, he got into 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,120 some trouble here and the police were looking for him, but he ran 97 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,360 away to mention, as you say, Munich and Sandra. 98 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,120 Our party knew of this. He was a friend of mine. 99 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,600 So I thought. When this trouble come on, my 100 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,720 brother, I turned to Shanda for help smuggle Carl out of the 101 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,360 country and he turned on me for blackmail. 102 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,120 A bad man I. Wish he was dead first. 103 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,480 Blackmail is a coward at heart. I think Doctor Watson and I will 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,560 call on the gentleman. By the way, does he have any 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,560 written evidence of your brother's crime? 106 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,680 Yeah. He has his address in Munich. 107 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,520 Show Chandler a letter from him when he first go there and keep 108 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,120 the letter. They'll not give it back to him. 109 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,280 And if he gave the police your brother's address, they'd they'd 110 00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,160 arrest him. They. 111 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,960 Would of course. Hey Holmes, you please do tell 112 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,920 me what I should do. I cannot go on this day. 113 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,560 My my music. Now for a line to calm yourself, 114 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,200 I should be most happy to help you and if you will lead the 115 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,200 way, we'll see how persuasive we can be with Chandra Lapadi this. 116 00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:26,780 Is the studio I hear Holmes at the end of the corridor I. 117 00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,820 See. Now, remember, young lady, you 118 00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:30,260 better let me do most of the talking. 119 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,320 He must be out. That's possible. 120 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,360 Locked. I think, bearing in mind 121 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,760 Arpani's profession will take the liberty of opening his door. 122 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,200 It doesn't. Look, a very complicated lock to 123 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,880 me. I think this skeleton key will 124 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,560 do the trick. It's. 125 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,920 Very dangerous here, Holmes. It's Chanda. 126 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,600 Find you? No. 127 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,480 No, no, no. Don't you worry about that 128 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,160 product. We're perfectly capable of 129 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:12,160 taking care of ourselves. Here we are. close the door 130 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,320 behind you. Willie Watson can't. 131 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:25,360 See a thing? Can't strike a match, can't look 132 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,320 at him, thumped over his. Guest like the guest, Willie 133 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,280 Watson. Like your home there? 134 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,160 Judging from his appearance for Leinfolenstein, I think Sandor 135 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,120 Rappadi had other enemies besides yourself. 136 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,080 Less scrupulous enemies. He's. 137 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,280 Been strangled. Look at the finger marks on his 138 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,400 throat. Is he? 139 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,680 Yes. Body is still warm though. 140 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,880 I'm afraid he's dead. I'm glad he was a bad man, 141 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,240 deserve to that. Watson, do you notice that the 142 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480 fingers of the killer have broken the skin and drawn blood? 143 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,840 Should we not communicate with the police? 144 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,920 Before we do that, Pauline, we must see if we can find your 145 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,440 brother's letter. Help move the body. 146 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Willie Watson lying across an open dispatch box that might 147 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,480 contain the document in question. 148 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,200 Come on. That's it. 149 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,160 Well, a painter. The late Mr. Aparde was an 150 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,360 unusually methodical man. Everything filed here in 151 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,800 alphabetical order. Here we are. 152 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,400 U4 line. They are ullenstein. 153 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,600 And the letter has the Munich postmark. 154 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,920 I think this must be the document in question. 155 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,360 Will you examine it, please? Four line. 156 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,520 Yeah, yeah, this is the letter. Yeah, Holmes, how can I thank? 157 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,880 You very little. Thank you for the black male 158 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,280 were still alive. I fear it wouldn't have been so 159 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,440 simple a matter. I wonder what other treasures 160 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,280 this box contains? Hello. 161 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,000 Hello. What? 162 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,840 Is it home? Interesting, extremely 163 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,840 interesting look at this old. Fellow information on the case 164 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,400 that we've just been working aren't. 165 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,200 They, and from the names attached to the document, I 166 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,760 think we may assume that the dead man did not confine his 167 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,600 blackmailing to struggling young pianists. 168 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,920 He was after a big game too. We'd. 169 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,040 Better be careful, Holmes. I don't think that we should go 170 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,320 for the police just yet. No, We'll start by having a 171 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,480 little talk with the other residents of Esponsion Thor 172 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,720 Line, who lives in the room adjoining this one. 173 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,080 Hi to her homes. And the room across the landing. 174 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360 Lai Chung Pho, the great Chinese actor. 175 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,440 He's performing here in Vienna I. 176 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,800 See then I think we'll stop by calling on him, return to your 177 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520 room floor line and we will let you know later what we've found. 178 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000 In the meantime, say nothing to anyone of what has happened. 179 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,680 We'll. Do everything you tell me her 180 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:40,040 homes and please once again, please let me thank you for what 181 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:46,680 you've done for. You know, Holmes, I'm not sure 182 00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:49,520 that girl didn't strangle a party herself. 183 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,640 A pianist who would have unusual strength on her fingers. 184 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,000 And we know that she had the the motive. 185 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,200 And look how naturally calm she was when she realized the man 186 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,080 was dead. I disagree. 187 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,640 With you all fellow, and I think what you referred to as 188 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,320 unnatural calmness is really the cold attachment of the two 189 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:05,880 artists. Well. 190 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,320 I have a feeling we should keep an eye on her just to say we 191 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,120 will watch and we. Will and now I suggest we pay a 192 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,640 visit across the landing to the distinguished Chinese actor Mr. 193 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:31,900 Ling Poofo. Yes, please. 194 00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:34,700 You wish to see me? If you could spare us a moment, 195 00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,300 Sir, But of course.

I am greatly proud to meet you. 198 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,880 You are not here to see me in your professional capacity, I 199 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,400 hope. No, not exactly. 200 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,680 I just wanted to ask you a few questions please. 201 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,000 To ask me anything. Do you know Chandola Pade, the 202 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,480 paint who lives across the hall? I know him by sight. 203 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,880 We not do each other on the stairs, nothing more. 204 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,160 I see. Have you been in your room most 205 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,040 evening, may I ask? Yes, I have been sitting here 206 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,440 quietly for the past few hours waiting over the Analects of 207 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,160 Confusion. May I ask, will you heard any 208 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,040 unusual noises this evening? Sounds of a struggle or a cry 209 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,440 from the direction of Sandoval Pardi's room? 210 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920 Friends I. I do not think so. 211 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,560 Wait, yes, yes, I think I did hear laced voices in there and 212 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:26,720 the sound of a cry. But. 213 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,560 How long ago was this? Oh. 214 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,400 An hour ago, perhaps more. Is anything wrong? 215 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:37,240 Has the trouble come to Shandor? Shandor, I thought you said you 216 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,280 would. Only a nodding acquaintance with 217 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,280 the gentleman. Well, he is. 218 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,600 A well known artist, it is only natural I should call him by his 219 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,120 first name, Mr. Holmes, even though I do not know him. 220 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Has something happened to him? I'm afraid so, but I can't tell 221 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,760 you any more about it at the moment. 222 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,520 Thank you for your cooperation.

Downstairs to the Potter's desk. 229 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,200 There's only one entrance to this house you'll remember. 230 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,360 The Porter may be able to tell us of any unusual comings and 231 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,960 goings in the last hour or two. Come on, old chap, don't doddle. 232 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,640 There's a great deal of work ahead of us. 233 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,240 Yeah, here hopes what?

I have so much wish to make an 254 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:40,680 acquaintance. I'm afraid we can only stay for 255 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,360 a moment, Madam Mayor, I felt wanted to ask you a few 256 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,640 questions. Yes, in Iran. 257 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,160 I just want I. Know your question, you play the 258 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,080 violin.

Answer to your question is ACC. 262 00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:16,080 If you don't mind, but that was not one of my questions it. 263 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,200 Was not, but I will sting it with you just this day you. 264 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,800 Flatten it. But at the moment there are 265 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,200 other things on my mind. You're at the do you know 266 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,160 Shandora Pade? Not. 267 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,280 By his side, that is all. He may cries at me but I know 268 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,560 pay attention.

Great, Scott, with a Gaster 277 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,960 woman. She's not tremendous, I'm sure. 278 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,160 And now I suppose we'll have to question this sculptless woman, 279 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,480 and then we'll talk to everyone in the house. 280 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,280 Now I think before we visit her and we'll examine the dead man's 281 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,800 room a little more closely. That black tinned dispatch box 282 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,520 may hold the key to this mystery. 283 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,120 Idiot, nums Carl, why didn't I go through the newspapers 284 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,640 thoroughly at first? Tell an interesting story. 285 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,800 A party had obviously been blackmailing Madam Jansen the 286 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,320 the sculptor.

I'm a hook in the cupboard. 299 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,520 Someone bracing themselves back so as to be out of sight could 300 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,640 easily leave such evidence. I've got it homes. 301 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,120 I've got.

Oh. 315 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,520 My dear fellow, I'm afraid prayers can do him no good now 316 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,160 he's been strangled. Strangled with his own cue. 317 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,680 Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a second, so 318 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,880 I'm going to take that second for a fast question. 319 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,560 I know you've probably tasted port wine, but have you ever 320 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,120 tasted Petri California Port? Have you? 321 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,000 Because if you haven't tried Petri Port, well, you can just 322 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,520 tell yourself right now you don't know how good a port can 323 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,320 be. Petri Port is rich, red and 324 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,480 hearted. But what you want to know is how 325 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,880 does it taste? The answer to that is short and 326 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,120 sweet. The taste is terrific and say 327 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Petri California Muscatel is on the terrific side too. 328 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,240 Petri Muscatel has the flavor and fragrance of real juicy 329 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,400 Muscat grape. Both wines are perfect. 330 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,240 After dinner or anytime you're sitting around talking with your 331 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320 friend, try them. They're great. 332 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,000 They've got to be, because they're Petri. 333 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,560 And now, back to tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure. 334 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,400 The famous pair are staying in Vienna, where they've become 335 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,760 involved in the mysterious strangling of a notorious 336 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,400 blackmailer.

Do you wish to buy some of my 345 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,160 sculptor? No, but I assure you the 346 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,600 question was pertinent. Tell me who you are and stop 347 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,680 wasting my time my. Friend is a private detective, 348 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,640 Madam. A detective who sent you here. 349 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,920 No one sent me here. I'm conducting an investigation 350 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:20,200 of the murder of Shandora Paddy.

And if you. 357 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:33,920 Know what's? Good for you. 358 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,480 You'll get out of here, both of you. 359 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,800 Emmeline Watson, but. Holmes, you can't. 360 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,880 Park in, Madam. For our intrusion we've meant no 361 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,560 rudeness.

Obviously she's the killer 365 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,760 hobby, but her hair was just black. 366 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,440 Yes, but it was short hair. Didn't you notice the size of 367 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,920 our feet? Anyway, she works in clay. 368 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,760 It'd have been marble. I might have suspected her so. 369 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,200 Holmes, I wish you'd tell me what you're driving. 370 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,680 At and the answer to these killings now, Watson. 371 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,880 But I'll have to prove it.

No, no, no. 374 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,920 Wait a minute. Wait a minute. 375 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,240 That may be dangerous. Wait for me and Senora. 376 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,680 Your letters roam. If you don't mind, I'll join you 377 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,160 there as soon as my work is done. 378 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,200 Pretend that you have returned because you were so enchanted 379 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,560 with her voice. Good, Scott Holmes, you can't 380 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,680 ask me to be alone with with that dreadful. 381 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,560 Woman too, as I say, Watson, and don't question me. 382 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:53,000 There isn't a moment to be lost. Of course you know that, Arya, 383 00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:03,880 my dear doctor. I can't identify. 384 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,400 That was from a regal let though. 385 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,160 You silly man. Tell me your favorite composer. 386 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,360 I will sing. Something that's just for you. 387 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:21,760 I will turn the guys light down. That will be so much more A man. 388 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:33,800 Who is your favorite composer? What's his name? 389 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,520 Wag Wagner's very fine, you know. 390 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,880 Wagner is a heavy like a monster German composer. 391 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,280 Oh Lord, here she. Goes again. 392 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,880 Come in, come. In. 393 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,440 Come in, come in. Chinese actor. 394 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,480 I am sorry to make commotion, but as we say in my country, 395 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,400 those who return from caves seek his double knowledge. 396 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,040 Oh, you're gay? You'll save. 397 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,480 It I kill you once, I kill you once, I kill your. 398 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,720 Girl, thank you. For the confession, Senor Abiola 399 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,840 Day, you can testify to it. What from Holmes? 400 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,000 No you don't Senora, You are nails sitting sharper my liking. 401 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,680 She's painted Holmes. Painted, eh, But an undematic 402 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:53,520 exit for a most dramatic lady. Well, Holmes, now that you've 403 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,160 turned Senora Violetti over to the police, perhaps you tell me 404 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,440 what made you certain that she was it. 405 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,680 Was obvious from the beginning that a party was strangled by 406 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,160 someone with long fingernails. When Item 4 was killed, it ruled 407 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,880 him out. Then who was the woman with a 408 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,680 motive and long nails? And I mentioned, my dear fellow, 409 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,360 was the woman's floor line ullenstein. 410 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:16,120 No, being a concert pianist, her nails were naturally short. 411 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,080 The sculptors who worked in clay, again, no. 412 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,280 That would make it impossible for her to mould her delicate 413 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:24,960 figurines. Therefore, Senora Bioletti, by 414 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,400 the process of elimination, was the only woman with long nails. 415 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,920 Why? Did she strangle with Chinese 416 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,560 actor too? Undoubted that he witnessed the 417 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,080 first killing, the long black hairs in the closet were from 418 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,760 his queue. I presume that later he 419 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,160 threatened Senora Bioletti and so he himself was strangled. 420 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,360 I. Still don't understand why she 421 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:44,040 strangled her party in the 1st. Place. 422 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,360 Well, I think you'll find that in blackmailing her too. 423 00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,880 Remember, he had documents incriminating everyone in the 424 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,400 house except her. I think we may assume she killed 425 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,680 him and then removed her own papers from the dispatch box. 426 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,720 But I had no proof, and so well, I had to frighten her into 427 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,280 confession. So that's why you disguised 428 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,520 yourself as like Kung Fu. Yes, I borrowed the robes from 429 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,480 his room. He was lucky that the lights 430 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,160 were low as I entered. Yes, and it's also fortunate 431 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,400 that to the average European, all Chinese look alike. 432 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,040 And then froline Ullenstein, we'll be coming in to see you in 433 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,320 a few minutes. So anxiously, is everything all 434 00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:22,880 right? Well. 435 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,920 From your point of view, my my dear young lady, yes. 436 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:27,440 There's nothing more for you to worry about. 437 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,640 Oh, I would like to repair you here, Holmes. 438 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,960 I I've done very little for you, but if you really feel that you 439 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,440 owe me something, yeah, well, perhaps just this one. 440 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,280 You wouldn't mind accompanying an amateur? 441 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,840 It would be a pleasure. What did you wish me to play? 442 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,720 In Mozarts, the matter. But of course. 443 00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:46,400 There are no from the E flat. Ah, that's splendid. 444 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,160 Please will I? You like hot star here, Doctor? 445 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,040 Very much young. Very much. 446 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,880 In fact, I I might say he is my favorite composer. 447 00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:15,520 Charming, Perfectly charming. I only wish that that all our 448 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,840 adventures could end so melodiously. 449 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,240 Tonight, Sherlock Holmes Adventure is written by Dennis 450 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,120 Green and Anthony Boucher and is based on an incident in the Sir 451 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:40,280 Arthur Conan Doyle story A Case of Identity. 452 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,080 Mr. Rathbone appears for the courtesy of Metro Goldwyn Mayor 453 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,440 and Mr. Bruce for the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where 454 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,440 they are now starring in the Sherlock Holmes series. 455 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,120 This is Bill Foreman saying goodnight for the Petri family. 456 00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:51,720 This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.
