1 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,880 Razzle Ratzone and Nigel Bruce in The New Adventures of 2 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:17,280 Sherlock Holmes. This rebroadcast is especially 3 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,400 for the. American armed forces and their 4 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,280 allies. Now let's join Doctor Campbell. 5 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,120 As he enters. Doctor Watson's. 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:53,200 Study. Well, here we are once again in 7 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,240 Doctor Watson's study. Come in, Mr. Campbell, come in 8 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,880 here, sit down and relax. You. 9 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,880 Look a bit. Rooted. 10 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,960 Though for us. Oh yes, it's such a beautiful 11 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,959 spring evening I I thought I'd walk over. 12 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,040 In fact, it's so beautiful I dawdled most of the way, 13 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,560 drinking in the warm air and the smell of things growing, until 14 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,640 suddenly I realized I was blamed. 15 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,120 We're going to be late if I didn't hurry. 16 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,640 So I ran the last three blocks. Yes, I know how it is. 17 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,800 This lovely spring weather is that they're. 18 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,720 Conducive to indolence. My household claim that when I 19 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,600 go out to do the spring planting, I spent most of my 20 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,800 time leaning on the spade, sniffing and listening to the 21 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,760 birds of an unpleasant way to pass the time of day. 22 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,400 Incidentally, yes, the day, like today is almost as relaxing as 23 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,800 it's perfect path. It reminds me of a curious and 24 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,920 gory experience, the homes that I had in just such an 25 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,280 establishment some years ago. It sounds suspiciously like the 26 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,560 gentleman who said Bang now Mr. Campbell, you must never 27 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,000 complain about the way that the storyteller begins is yarn. 28 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,760 Anything is better than an abat. Beginning now with me all out 29 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,600 where? Where? 30 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,000 Was. I in a Turkish bath if I'm not. 31 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,639 Mistaken Turkish bath You were not mistaken. 32 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,160 Well, now to to begin at the beginning, it was in the hectic 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,120 hair raising and I might even say the. 34 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Glorious days. Of the great. 35 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,480 Battle of Wits. Between Sherlock Holmes and the 36 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760 notorious Professor Moriarty. What you might call a real 37 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,640 battle of the Titans. Indeed, it was Mr. Campbell 38 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,400 things. Had been unusually hectic for 39 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,000 Homes for several months. Moriarty had been particularly 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,200 active and Homes had had many sleepless. 41 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Nights. Finally things had calmed down a 42 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,680 bit and I tried to persuade him to take a badly. 43 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,880 Needed. Holiday the net result? 44 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,000 Being that he. Finally did agree to have an 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880 afternoon off and accompanied him into a Turkish fast. 46 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,960 As a matter of fact, both the Holmes and I had a weakness for 47 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,800 the Turkish path over the smoke in the present latitude of the 48 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,120 drying room. I've also found him less 49 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,440 reticent and more human than at any other time. 50 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,840 The heat melody is cast iron. Reserve, eh Doctor Watson? 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,160 Slightly, Mr. Gumbel, Only slightly. 52 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Well, as I was saying, on the upper floor of the South 53 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720 Northumberland Ave. Establishment There is an 54 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,440 isolated corner where 2. Couches lie. 55 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Side by side, and it was on these that we were lying. 56 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,440 Ohms had just shot his long, sinewy arm out of the towers 57 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,760 which enveloped him and was fishing about in the inside 58 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,880 pocket of his. Coat, which hung. 59 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:33,840 Beside. I put it. 60 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,360 Where on earth did I? Put it all. 61 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,200 Compounded things, Watson. I forgot to bring my tobacco. 62 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,480 Relax home. Just relax. 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,320 Forget about tobacco. Forget Moriarty and relax. 64 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,520 That's what we came in here for.

Mr. Sherlock Horne. 69 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Hello Gussie, the steam room attendant. 70 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,880 Oh my goodness, now what? Has anyone seen Mr. Sherlock 71 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,839 Holmes? Here I am. 72 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,880 Guys here I am. What? 73 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,519 Do you want?

A bad accident. 76 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,520 It's Lord Canterbury. He's in his stretching room. 77 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,640 Covered it back. Oh, in that case, I can't see 78 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,840 you once, Doctor Watson. You're not me. 79 00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,320 I'll.

All right. 85 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,480 Now come at 1:00. Good gracious me, what's all the 86 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,600 commotion? Why can't we have a little piece 87 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,960 and part? What's the meaning? 88 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,440 Of this gut, why are these two persons talking at the top? 89 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,680 Of their voice, my dear Mr. Mr. Well, whoever you. 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Are I was never under the impression that the Olympia bars 91 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,480 were at. Church. 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Furthermore, my dear Mr. Oh well, never mind the name 93 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,360 Tunbridge. Friedrich Gilbert Sunbridge, the 94 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,240 Liberal leader of the present Parliament, which everyone knows 95 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,120 will keep the breast of. The time I don't miss Tunbridge, 96 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,640 I do not concern myself with trivialities. 97 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Furthermore, as I was saying before being so rudely 98 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,640 interrupted, you may be interested to know that you're a 99 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,800 hitted rival, Lord Campbellbury, the Conservative leader with 100 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,600 whom you are known to have publicly locked horns on several 101 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,560 occasions. Oh oh. 102 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,040 What if I have? Oh, what you done now, the old 103 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400 fool. If you mean Lord Campbell, he's 104 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,640 done, absolutely yes. He hasn't done anything and 105 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,760 probably never will again. Oh, what are you blivering 106 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,200 about? Well, it seems that Gus. 107 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,280 Has just discovered your shall. We say Political visa V Dead in 108 00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,560 his dressing room 0. You mean he's? 109 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,480 Had a heart attack? No, I don't mean anything of the 110 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,160 kind. He's been stabbed in how many 111 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,960 places did you say Gus? In six places, Mr. Hope. 112 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,640 But that's impossible. I we, that is, I talked to him 113 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560 not half an hour ago. We had a little conference. 114 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,600 Sub rows you. Understand, but while he was 115 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,320 waiting. For Gus to come in and give him 116 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,880 his better, he was quite all right. 117 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,880 I left him. Oh really? 118 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,080 Are you sure? What do you mean? 119 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,160 Of course, I'm sure Campbell he was alive and cursing like a. 120 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,680 Trooper when I left him I. Passed the Gus in the corridor. 121 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,240 I came out of Campbell's treasure. 122 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,520 He'll tell you the old boy was. Alive on ticket Nobody, Gus. 123 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,640 It is true, I hear swearing, but from which dressing room it 124 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,240 comes I could not be sure. The walls are so thin, you 125 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,560 understand. Yes indeed, it's quite true. 126 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,200 The dressing room walls are pimps. 127 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,760 And Guts, who is this person and why is he asking all these 128 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,560 stupid questions? But Mr. Tunbridge, this 129 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,320 gentleman is Mr. Sherlock Holmes this. 130 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,600 Famous detective. I've never heard of him. 131 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,560 Not even with you there. Well. 132 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Sent for Scotland Yard. This is a matter of national 133 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,960 importance. Right, yes, I think you're quite 134 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,920 right. You may as well temper inspector 135 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,080 the stride guard. Scotland Yard will have to be 136 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400 informed in any case. In the meantime, however, well I 137 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,480 I think. I'll take a look in the 138 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,440 meantime, Mr. Whoever you are. I insist that everything be left 139 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,680 strictly. Alone. 140 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,760 Very well then, Mr. Thingamabob, if you insist. 141 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,640 But you'll be losing valuable time. 142 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,560 I most. Emphatically do insist. 143 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,040 Well, I'm getting out. Of you just. 144 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,000 A moment, gentlemen. Just a moment, if you please. 145 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,760 I don't. Think it's only fair to point. 146 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,120 Out you all, but suspicion is bound to fall on anyone who 147 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,120 leaves before the authorities have had a chance to search and 148 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,520 question him. Touch me you. 149 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:44,040 Mean I have to be searched. We didn't have stared up quite a 150 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,160 hornet's nest. They wasn't. 151 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,080 And I brought you in here for a rest. 152 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,960 Nasty mess, say Mr. Holmes. Not from the back. 153 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,480 Hairs not once, but six times. Deep, Ferocious thrusts, quite 154 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,120 unnecessarily brutal and, if I may say so, bloody. 155 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,360 Yeah. Place looks like. 156 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,680 A Charles Hairs. Whoever did the deed must have 157 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,560 been drenched in blood. Might tell your men to search 158 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,560 for blood stained towels or garments. 159 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,040 Will you stand? Yes, well, I don't pick up 160 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,400 anything that's got blood on it. Never you fear, Mr. Owens. 161 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,200 I've ordered a search of everybody and everything on the 162 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,880 premise. That's that's not going to be be 163 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,720 very popular with with Mr. Tunbridge J. 164 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Holmes, I wouldn't care if he was the Archbishop of 165 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,960 Canterbury. When Scotland Yard says search 166 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,720 everybody, we search everybody. Besides, everybody knows he and 167 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,480 the corpse here are bitter enemies. 168 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,760 They fought like. Cat and dog. 169 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,600 How long would you say you've been dead, Mr. Allen? 170 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,800 Oh, I don't know about, let me say an hour and a half to 30-40 171 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,720 minutes to get you here. The side and Canterbury had been 172 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,360 dead that we see over half an hour when God found them. 173 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,400 Did the. Doorman notice who left the 174 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,080 establishment during the. Half hour before the body was 175 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,280 found. Yes, Sir. 176 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,520 Only all Mr. Velford and his Toshiba and decided to do a 177 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,160 crime like this. Was the door to Lord temple but 178 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,160 his blessing room locked? Oh, no, Sir. 179 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,720 And how does it happen that he lay here for over half an hour 180 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,840 before anyone found? Particularly as it was done on 181 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,800 the books for the massage half an hour before he was found, you 182 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,200 see. I I thought he was asleep. 183 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400 Lord Canterbury. Sometimes he like a little nap 184 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,000 after he was in the steam room and he didn't want I should 185 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,160 disturb him. Oh, that's pretty interesting 186 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,320 then. You did come in this room once, 187 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,320 before you realized Lord Canterbury was dead. 188 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:47,920 Yes, Mr. Holmes. But. 189 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,200 He was lying. There so. 190 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,720 Peaceful. So peaceful. 191 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,200 Yes, on his back. Yes Sir, just like to refound 192 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,360 him. It was until the second time I 193 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,880 come in I see he has his eyes. Open and the place is, shall we 194 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,600 say. All scattered with blood. 195 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,680 It was so dark the shades were. Drawn it was. 196 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,840 Not easy to see anything. If you don't look. 197 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,440 Close. Even then, some people are 198 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,520 unable to observe the most obvious facts. 199 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,800 And. What might you? 200 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,160 Mean by that? All just an observation list and 201 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,880 just a gratuitous observation. Come in. 202 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,800 Well, Willis, what's up? The place. 203 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,360 From top to. Bottom, they're just like you 204 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,920 said, Inspector, and there's no blood stains, nowhere except on 205 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,800 this. What's? 206 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,080 That and pocket knife Sir. Large size the. 207 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,720 Handle's been. Wiped off, but there's still 208 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,680 some blood. Stains on the. 209 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:35,720 Fly. We found it in the locker. 210 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,440 Of a bloke name of Tumbridge. Just a minute. 211 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,440 Let's try. Don't go off the deep end, will 212 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,160 it? Yes, Sir. 213 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,200 You will. Say there were no blood stains 214 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,960 anywhere except on this knife. Not a. 215 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,520 Sign of a blood stain? Nowhere. 216 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,240 You will search. The Dirty linen hampers, towels 217 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,000 and lockers for the customers of their. 218 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,720 Clothes. Oh yes Sir, we searched 219 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,720 everything. There's not a sign of blood 220 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,600 anywhere, but unless they're a weapon. 221 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,640 Amazing. Fair enough. 222 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,280 For me, this seer is the murder weapon and it was found in 223 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,880 Tumbridge's locker. Ring him in the ear, will 224 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,400 listen. We'll have him on the carpet. 225 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,480 Yes, Sir. Right away. 226 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,280 He knew he was the murderer from the beginning. 227 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,160 Who wears the motive for killing Canterbury? 228 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,280 This chap. Tumbridge. 229 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,320 Who has the? Opportunity of this. 230 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,560 Chap. Tumbridge he admitted Sophie had 231 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,200 a talk for the deceased and and they had. 232 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,680 Words and where. Did they? 233 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:24,680 See a blood stained knife found. Nowhere but in. 234 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,240 The Air 5th. Mr. Tumbridge. 235 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,400 'S locker. Stupid face for a murderer to 236 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,160 hide the fatal weapon in his own locker. 237 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,480 Tumbridge isn't as stupid as that first. 238 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,480 Right. No, no. 239 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,120 Then why was it there? Look here, this, this is an 240 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,880 outrage. Keeping me here like this. 241 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800 We're going to realize I had influence on what? 242 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,320 At least I'd be put on my clothes instead of pouring them 243 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,920 about. I'll complain to the 244 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,080 authorities. I'll have you dismissed all of 245 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:48,440 your. Home. 246 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,400 Maybe you will, Sir. And then again, maybe you won't. 247 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,800 But first of all, you'll answer some questions. 248 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,320 Have you ever? Seen this knife before? 249 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,280 Knife or a knife? Yes, of course. 250 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,880 It's mine. I've had it all the life. 251 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,560 I used to take it fishing when I was. 252 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:04,760 A boy? No, indeed. 253 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,240 Never explain its size. Then no, I use it to open my 254 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,640 letters. Oh, you too? 255 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,640 Are you sure? That's all you use it for? 256 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,520 Yes, of course. Then why are the easier blood 257 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:20,120 stains on it? Yeah, don't. 258 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,400 You touch it. We don't want to destroy any 259 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,840 possible. Fingerprints. 260 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,880 But if it's mine, my fingerprints are already on it. 261 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,160 Yeah, she's right there to start. 262 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,640 Furthermore, that stain doesn't doesn't look like blood to me. 263 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,280 It's it's not red enough. It looks like rust, as a matter 264 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,320 of fact. If a stain is a nice blood red, 265 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,240 it's fairly certain it's not blood. 266 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,400 Now this particular stain you found like a. 267 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,080 Particular stain to Scotland Yard Mr. Yes, don't forget, my 268 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,720 dear Lestrade, I invented the first infallible test for blood. 269 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,000 Stains that's. Quite true style you did. 270 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Yes, indeed, my test and my test is infallible. 271 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,200 It works on blood that is new or on blood that is old. 272 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,600 I discovered the. First free agent. 273 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,040 Which is precipitated by hemoglobin. 274 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,440 I'm sorry, Mr. I'm sorry, but Scotland Yard hasn't any time 275 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,920 for lectures. We believe in action now, Mr. 276 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,760 Tambridge. It's my duty to take you into 277 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,280 custody and it's also my duty to warn you. 278 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,200 That anything. That, you may say, may be used 279 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,520 in evidence against. You anything I say to realize 280 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,160 whom you're arresting. I'm a leading figure in British 281 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,880 politics over this fellow Lazia Stand. 282 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,120 With your knife, which has still. 283 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,360 Got blood stains on it and. Asad, if you would pardon me 284 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,960 saying so, in this case, it's not the blood stains that are in 285 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,440 evidence, but the blood stains that are not. 286 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,920 In evidence. Which is the significant? 287 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,960 Factor. What do you mean by that? 288 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,480 Simply that it would have been rather difficult for Mr. Tumbish 289 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,920 to have committed a murder of Gory as this one without having 290 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,840 blood stains on the towel he's wearing or on the clothes which 291 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,120 are still in his locker. What was to prevent him from 292 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,360 dropping his towel outside Lord Canterbury's, letting them going 293 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400 in and knifing him in the back? Then. 294 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,920 Sneaking down to the shower rooms. 295 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,480 Not more than. 20 feet down the corridor and washing away the 296 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,440 evidence. Me going round about it. 297 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280 In the nude. Certainly not, no. 298 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,720 Certainly not, Sir. Remember, my dear Estrada, you 299 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,120 dragged one of Britain's leader is away to jail that it might 300 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360 have been possible for him to stab his enemy in a fit of 301 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920 temper, but he would never have dreamed of running up and down 302 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,160 the corridors. In his birthday suit, let me. 303 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,240 See, I'm afraid I should have to look for another explanation of 304 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:38,360 the missing blood stains. Holmes, it's too late. 305 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,040 Everyone else who's left? The Turkish power. 306 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,520 Everyone but the faithful guts. Oh, I don't. 307 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,120 Mind tonight we have by my house sauerkraut. 308 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,960 I don't like sauerkraut. Besides, I've got to. 309 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,600 Stay and. Lock up then you'll have to wait 310 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120 till we find the bloodstains here somewhere. 311 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320 That's why I sent home for my famous benzidine peroxide 312 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,520 mixture. Somewhere on the premises there 313 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,880 is a towel or linen or something that has blood stakes. 314 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,400 Oh, but. We've been through the towels 315 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,560 and the linen a dozen times. No silent blood. 316 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,920 Furthermore, according to establishment checklist, there 317 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:18,160 are no towels or any linen. Misty even gas which he his 318 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,640 linen, which he washes himself is is hung here on on the line. 319 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,400 You don't wash anything but your own, do you guys? 320 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,560 No, Mr. Holmes. Everything go. 321 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,480 Out to the laundry I. I wash my. 322 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,640 Own because. I'd like to be fresh and clean. 323 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,040 Twice a day I wash. Noon and evening. 324 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,920 Yes, the evening. 'S job. 325 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,160 Hasn't been done yet, eh? No, this one, I I watched this. 326 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,800 Noon, it's my towel. From this morning. 327 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,000 This morning's towel watched this noon, Yes. 328 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,720 But was it? Canterbury was murdered in the 329 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,960 middle of the afternoon, about 3:30 now. 330 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,080 It's now after 7. O'clock, don't you see, Watson? 331 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,600 This towel, don't you see? No, I don't miss the blasted 332 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,600 thing. It sells as clean. 333 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,840 As a whistle. But not dry. 334 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,880 If it had been washed at noon, washed at noon, it would be dry 335 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,840 now, but it's still damp. Yes, it was washed after 336 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,680 Camperberry's death caused to. Remove the blood. 337 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,120 Stains Gus. It's the whole. 338 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,880 That's why you didn't report the death until half an hour after 339 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,240 Camperberry had died. No, and I'd have time to remove 340 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,280 the blood stains. But. 341 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,800 That's not true. Besides, you can't prove 342 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,320 anything the. Towel is clean now, there are no 343 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,240 masks. No stains. 344 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,240 But the fact that there were no stains on it, Gus. 345 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,760 First made me. Suspect you, Lord. 346 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,440 Canterbury was found. Lying on his. 347 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,680 Back And yet when you informed us that he had been stabbed, you 348 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,960 were quite definite about the number of times that he'd been 349 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880 stabbed in the back. How did you know that, Gus? 350 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,160 Well, I I lift him up. And I look. 351 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,440 Constantly what you're getting at home. 352 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,760 He couldn't have done that. No one could examine the cops 353 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,840 with us getting blood all the wind so. 354 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,320 I get one. Gus appeared to tell us that 355 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,920 Canterbury's death, there wasn't a pot of blood on him. 356 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,920 But if I can prove that the towel which you so carefully 357 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,720 washed once had blood stains and that you were very careful to 358 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,400 remove those. Stains that you will never. 359 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,880 Prove I have scrubbed. I have. 360 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,319 I have used soap, I have even boiled that towel. 361 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,240 There is not even a. Suspicion of a. 362 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,240 Blood stain less. That is why you're wrong, my 363 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,800 friend. And Watson will run the water 364 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200 into this towel, will you? No matter how thoroughly you try 365 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,160 to remove a blood stain, it will never out damned spot. 366 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,520 Yes, we only need enough. Moisten the clock now. 367 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,440 I'll drop a few drops of my famous pollution onto the clock. 368 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,720 There we are. All I can see is a lot of spare 369 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,840 blood streak. Yes, yes, it's undoubtedly 370 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,560 blood. Blood. 371 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,280 Yes, the curious flu speaks proof infallibly that there was 372 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,400 blood on the towel. And now, Gus, are you going to 373 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,120 explain why you were so anxious to remove these blood dates? 374 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,520 No, no, I, I I did not do it. He, it was Mr. Tunbridge. 375 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,080 He did it. The knife. 376 00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:52,920 Watch his knife. There was blood on it. 377 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,320 Let me. Out of here it's not. 378 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,520 My fault. I don't want to have some some. 379 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,440 She's running away. Watson, you can't get in the 380 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Cape. Well then he goes down the 381 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,120 corner. You can't get to the Steamboat, 382 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:03,080 don't worry. I'll get him. 383 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,760 The seams thick in here. I can hardly see my hand before 384 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,480 my face. Must. 385 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,200 Be in here, but under the benches. 386 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,920 Watson, Watson. Leave the door open. 387 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,920 That's. Some of this blasting steam out 388 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,880 of here, will you? Hansen. 389 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,840 Shut the door, Holmes. You hear that? 390 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,600 The door. Someone's locked the door. 391 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,120 Hey, come here. Let us go. 392 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,280 Let us go here. We're locked in. 393 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,800 We've been locked in. My mistake. 394 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,480 No. You're wrong. 395 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:38,480 It was no mistake. My friend, he's here with us. 396 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,680 No, that's the voice. Through the ventilator. 397 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,040 Though you were. Behind this murder too. 398 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,520 Professor, of course, perhaps. You would like to know why I had 399 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:47,720 to kill Lord Canterbury? Yes. 400 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,640 Indeed, that would be very interesting I found. 401 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,080 It necessary to start a feud between the two great political. 402 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,200 Parties. Because they're in danger of 403 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,400 forming a coalition to pass. Certain housing reforms. 404 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,480 That would have proved very expensive to me. 405 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,520 Well, what better way to break up an incipient collaboration 406 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,640 and by killing one year having the other hand for his murder? 407 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,360 Many ingenious money out here. Pity you should have chosen for 408 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:15,400 the clumsy tool of God. Comes, perhaps, but he pulls. 409 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Got the yard, Mr. Holt. It was just my ill luck that you 410 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,800 should be on the premises when the accident occurred. 411 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,680 Thank you for the compliment. Not at all. 412 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,720 However, it's a mistake, which I'm sure Gus will be. 413 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,400 Able to rectify. Gus, OH. 414 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,760 Very simple. I have sent him to put more 415 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,760 coals on the fire. Any moment. 416 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,720 Now there should be more steam. Yes, gentlemen, much more steam. 417 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,320 I'm afraid when you finish with a steam bath you will never need 418 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,560 enough. No. 419 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:49,280 You will be foiled a lot. It's right there. 420 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,800 There comes the steam pouring out the opening over our head. 421 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,280 Only if we could reach that opening, we could cut some of 422 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,560 these towels into the pipeline and. 423 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,800 Cut off the pro it's. Getting very hot. 424 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,480 Wait, I have it. One of the long benches I'll 425 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,000 stand on the end that's a balance until I turn on the top. 426 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,240 Top box, make a noise. Anything to cover up the moving 427 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:07,960 of the bench. Really. 428 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,080 Well, Oh, getting hot. This has gone far enough. 429 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,200 We've become so much more is. City Holmes. 430 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,200 And we have a towel quick. Marianti, turn the steam off. 431 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,440 You're here, Marianti, can't you here? 432 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,040 The heat is. It's becoming unbearable. 433 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,960 There's more towels home. Is it getting hot enough in 434 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,640 there, gentlemen? Boil, I'm sure. 435 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,720 Here. Boiled nice and pink. 436 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,000 Boiled and steam. Live steam. 437 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:45,520 Goodbye, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Now what happened? 438 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,600 You can't. Stand up there all night, homes. 439 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,720 Come on, have two Pressure is terrific, huh? 440 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,080 Then it lucky this one becomes so grateful it may burst. 441 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,160 The boiler. That's dangerous. 442 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,360 Buildings will be not collapsed because of bursting. 443 00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:57,760 Boilers. Nevertheless, it's now one 444 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,160 chance one of the confounded boiler first before my arm is 445 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,960 snapped in the. Room. 446 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,880 Your arm isn't as tall as the boilerplate. 447 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,360 Pressure. Pressure, my dear Watson, 448 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,960 measured per square foot of air surface. 449 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,160 Quite a bit of service to a pilot. 450 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,040 The opening of this pipe is fairly. 451 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,040 Small all the. Same. 452 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,520 I'm afraid I I can't hold up much longer, Watson. 453 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,120 Hold on, hold on. It must burst soon. 454 00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:29,840 It. Must the pleasure my hands my? 455 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:45,400 Hands. And you came through the 456 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,040 explosion all right, Doctor. Well. 457 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,760 I had a gnostic crack where Holmes and the bench fell on me, 458 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,440 and Holmes had the wind knocked out of him, but we were even in 459 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,040 fairly good shape by the time the fire brigade pulled us out 460 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,360 from the wreckage. Well Yard, he wasn't by any 461 00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,520 chance trapped or killed or something. 462 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,880 Unfortunately no, but they found gas, however quite dead. 463 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,240 I suppose the exploding boiler did for. 464 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,600 Him no there. Was a bullet wound in the back 465 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,560 of his head? I'd rather imagine that Moriarty 466 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,320 wanted to make sure that he would never appear in court. 467 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,120 Doctor, if I had to go through what you went through in that 468 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,680 Turkish bath episode, I think I'd never want to work on 469 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,160 another case with Holmes again. Mr. Gamble, I, I certainly did 470 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,640 feel like that for a couple of hours, but by the time we got 471 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,640 back to Baker Street and sat down to 1 of Missus Hudson's 472 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,240 good meals, well, I was ready for anything that Holmes had in 473 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,520 mind. You know there's. 474 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,000 Nothing like a. Good dinner to make you feel a 475 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,640 new man. You have been. 476 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,560 Listening to an adventure in crime with Basil. 477 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,600 Rathbone as Sherlock. Holmes and Nigel Bruce. 478 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,800 As Doctor Watson.
