Yes, it certainly is what you 23 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,840 Londoners, call a regular pea super. 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,760 Indeed, it reminds me of the adventure of the missing 25 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,440 submarine plans, the case that was sold in the underground. 26 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000 Underground. What you Americans call a 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720 subway? Yes, but what is a solution in a 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,760 subway got to do with a foggy night? 29 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,480 Well, you see, the affair started in weather exactly like 30 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,200 this. It was the third week in 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,160 November, the year 18195 to be exact. 32 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,680 On Monday, a dense yellow fog had settled down upon London. 33 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,479 On Thursday it was still there, thicker and and murkier than 34 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:12,640 ever. At first Holmes had turned his 35 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:15,680 nervous energy to cross indexing his huge reference books. 36 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,400 But when after pushing our breakfast chairs back for the 37 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,920 for the 4th morning, we saw the greasy Browns were still 38 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,240 drifting past the windows, Holmes's patient snapped. 39 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Holmes, if you must pace around in circles, I wish you'd change 40 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,440 directions now and then. You're it's making me dizzy. 41 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,240 It's inexcusable, Watson. Inexcusable. 42 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,200 No initiative, no imagination. Nothing ever gets. 43 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,520 Done. If you're alluding to the 44 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,600 inactivity in this last session of Parliament, my dear, I'm not. 45 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaking of our lawmakers, Watson, but of our lawbreakers, 46 00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,800 the London criminal is certainly a dull fellow. 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,080 Makes you say that. Well, look out. 48 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,720 Of the window I deal, whether for committing a crime, the 49 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,760 criminal advances and his intended victim practically 50 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,280 unseen. He pounces and disappears into 51 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,920 thin air. There have been numerous petty 52 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:11,040 theft. Hardly. 53 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,480 Petty set Pickpockets. Ragamuffins. 54 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,000 What's the country coming to now If I were a criminal, Watson? 55 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,120 I, for one, would move to America. 56 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,320 No. Hello. 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,680 Hello. Missus Hudson's knocking. 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,200 Excited. What's up, I wonder? 59 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,360 Yes, Missus Hudson. What is it? 60 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:27,960 Oh, a telegram for me. Yes, Sir. 61 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,000 Very well. Thank you. 62 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,520 Oh well, what's it say I'll? Wait until I open it, can't you? 63 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,040 Ah, dear me, what next? Most unusual, Watson. 64 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,680 Most unusual. What's most unusual, Watson? 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400 What's it say? No, It's from my brother 66 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,800 Mycroft. You remember him? 67 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000 He helped us solve the case of the Greek interpreter. 68 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,320 He's coming here. Why not? 69 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,160 What's so phenomenal? Why not? 70 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,440 Why not, indeed? It's as startling as it would be 71 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,240 to meet a tram car coming down a country lane. 72 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,800 Yes, yes. Now, I come to think of it, 73 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,080 Mycroft is rather like a tram car. 74 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,800 His rails lead from his Pell Mall lodgings to the Diogenes 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,480 Club in Whitehall. That's his circle. 76 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280 I wonder what upheaval could have derailed it. 77 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,080 Doesn't the telegram explain? It says must see you about 78 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,800 Cadagan W coming at once. Cadagan West Dagan W Why, that's 79 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,079 the young chapels found dead in the Underground on Tuesday 80 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:20,399 morning. I remember reading about it in 81 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,040 the papers. Oh the. 82 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,880 Young man had apparently fallen out of a train and and killed 83 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,520 himself. He hadn't been robbed and there 84 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,320 was no reason to suspect violence. 85 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Quite an uninteresting case, if I remember correct yet. 86 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,840 It's serious enough to cause my craft to alter his habits. 87 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,480 No. What? 88 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,880 This must be an extraordinary event. 89 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,920 Do you recall any other facts about the affair? 90 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,320 Yes, I come to think that there was 1 unusual bit about came out 91 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,160 of the inquest. They were unable to ascertain at 92 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,200 what point he entered the train because his ticket was missing. 93 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,880 Strange, but articles were found on the body. £2.15 I believe it 94 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,760 was a cheque book and Oh yes yes there's two dress circle tickets 95 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,280 for the Woolwich Theatre dated for that evening. 96 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,880 Theatre tickets. And it wasn't suicide. 97 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,960 A man doesn't procure 30 theatre tickets for the evening on which 98 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,800 he intends to end his life. Anything else? 99 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,680 A. Small packet of technical paper. 100 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,360 Technical papers? What kind of technical papers? 101 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,000 The newspapers didn't say. As serious as that, what did the 102 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,440 young man do? Where was he employed? 103 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,560 He was. A clerk at Woolidge. 104 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,200 Government employee, There we have it. 105 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,720 Watson. British government, Woolidge, 106 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,400 Arsenal technical papers. That's why Mycroft is involved 107 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,040 in this. Affair. 108 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,480 I don't understand. No, I suppose not. 109 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,600 Watson. Have I ever told you what 110 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,840 Mycroft is? Your brother, of course. 111 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,440 No, no, no. Watson, do you have to be so 112 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,120 dense? I mean, do you know what he 113 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,800 does? I seem to have some vague 114 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,800 recollection that you once told me that he'd held some small 115 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,360 office under the British government. 116 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,360 It would be more accurate to say, in a way, that he is the 117 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,040 British government, what his position is unique. 118 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,920 He made it for himself. Is the tidiest and most orderly 119 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,400 brain of any man alive, with a great capacity for storing facts 120 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,680 and giving them the proper interpretation. 121 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,440 The conclusions of every government department are passed 122 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,320 on to him. He's the central exchange, the 123 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,160 clearing house. Again and again his word is 124 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,640 decided, the national policy. He thinks of nothing else. 125 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,920 Nothing else can lure him from his contemplation. 126 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,800 Yet he's. Coming. 127 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,040 Here, yes, Jupiter is descending on us today. 128 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,880 What on Earth? Come in heaven. 129 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,240 And Watson? That sounds suspiciously like a 130 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,160 bad pun. Ah, here he is, if I'm not 131 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,520 mistaken, to speak for himself. Come in, come in. 132 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,960 Hello, my craft. What's up? 133 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,960 What's up? You look clustered. 134 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,840 Most annoying business, Sherlock. 135 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,280 Most annoying. You know how I dislike haltering 136 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:43,720 my habits? Extremely awkward for me to come 137 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,800 away from the office, particularly with Siam. 138 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,720 This present state? Dear me. 139 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,280 Sit down, my craft. Sit down. 140 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,560 You know what's and, of course. I'm trying to find a chair that 141 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,880 I can just hold me I. Better take the sofa. 142 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,440 You certainly haven't got any thinner. 143 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,280 I've. Never seen the Prime Minister so 144 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,360 upset the Admiralty. It's buzzing like an upset 145 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,720 beehive. Do you know anything about the 146 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,400 case? Watson just been telling me what 147 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,160 was in the newspapers, just what were the technical papers found 148 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,400 on the body Sherlock. For the love of heaven, not so 149 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040 loud. Those papers which so wretched 150 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,240 youth had in his pocket were none other than the plans of the 151 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,560 Bruce Partington submarine as a submarine which would completely 152 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,200 revolutionize naval warfare. The most important papers in our 153 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,240 government archives under no circumstances could to be 154 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,880 removed from the office. Even the chief constructor of 155 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,960 the Navy was forced to go to Woolwich if he desired to 156 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,040 consult them. And yet we find them in the 157 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,960 pockets of a dead Junior attack in the heart of London. 158 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,120 Yeah, from an official point of view. 159 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,120 It's deplorable, my dear, my crop simply deplorable. 160 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 You may laugh, Sherlock, but this country won't be safe until 161 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,080 they're recovered. I thought you said that they 162 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,960 were found in the pocket of this chap Cadogan. 163 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,960 W 10 papers taken from Woolwich Seven were found pockets of 164 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,400 Cadogan. W for you're still missing the 165 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,120 three essential ones. To recover those three papers is 166 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,240 imperative the peace of Europe. Depends on nice little problem a 167 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,640 Watson. Why did Cadogan W take the 168 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,440 papers? How did he die? 169 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,360 How did his body reach the place where it was found? 170 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,320 And where are the missing papers? 171 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,600 Find the answer to those questions, Sherlock, and you'll 172 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680 have done your country an invaluable service. 173 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,240 Why don't you solve it yourself, Mycroft? 174 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,120 I believe you could. Possibly it's a question of 175 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,040 digging out details. Give me the details and I can 176 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,760 give you the solution from an armchair. 177 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,040 No. When it comes to running about 178 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,240 and cross, questioning railway guards and lying on one's face 179 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,080 with a lens to one's eye, No, no, that's not my major. 180 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,360 Besides your your figure prevents your taking such an 181 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,559 undignified position, eh? Very well. 182 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:45,360 Leave that part of it, was eh, Watson. 183 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,600 Good, I've got a cab waiting outside to take the place where 184 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,160 the body was found. I can give you the details on 185 00:08:52,160 --> 00:09:07,400 the way. Now my Croft, who was the 186 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,160 official guardian of these famous papers? 187 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,440 No lesser personage than Sir James Walder, gentleman who's 188 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,320 grown grey in the service. His patriotism is beyond 189 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,720 suspicion. And that's not, if I'm not 190 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,720 mistaken, lips with his brother. Yes. 191 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,160 Here's the House of Admiral Sinclair at Barkley Square 192 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,400 during the whole of the evening when this accident occurred. 193 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,320 The Admiral vouchers for him. He's one of the two who have the 194 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,160 only keys to save. And his keep is with him all 195 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:29,800 evening. Right. 196 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,400 His key. The key to the building. 197 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,040 The key to the room. Who? 198 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:36,560 Was the man with the other key. The Senior Clerk Mr. Sidney 199 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:40,160 Johnson, man of 40, married, silent, morose, with an 200 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,960 excellent service record. Any alibi? 201 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,920 He too had his ski with him. Seems to have spent the evening 202 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,320 playing a game of drafts with a greengrocer around the corner. 203 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,520 From his lodgings, of course, he has only the word of his 204 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,560 greengrocer. To Beck him. 205 00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:54,120 Oh, come, come, my dear Mycroft. No class discriminations, 206 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,640 please. The word of a greengrocer is 207 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,200 often just as good as that of an Admiral. 208 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,400 But what about Cadogan West? He had a good reputation, bit 209 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,920 hot headed, but straight and honest. 210 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,760 At least everyone thought so. He was next to City Johnson at 211 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,040 the office. His duties brought him into 212 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,680 daily personal contact with the plans. 213 00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:11,520 No one else ever had the handling of them. 214 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,560 Oh, it's perfectly clear. He must have taken. 215 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Not so fast. Watson, Not so fast. 216 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,560 We locked them up that night. Mr. Sidney Johnson. 217 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,960 They were a value commercially, I mean. 218 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,880 Oh yes, there's no doubt that W could have got several thousands 219 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,120 for them very easily. And yet, only a small amount of 220 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,640 money was found on the body, perhaps. 221 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760 The buyer took it back after he'd murdered West. 222 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,400 What puzzles me is how did W obtain possession of those 223 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,320 papers? To do so, he must have had a 224 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,640 false key. Several false keys, Sherlock. 225 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,280 He had to open the building and the room as. 226 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,160 Well, well, well, well. Several false keys then. 227 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,280 Let me see, Let me see. Suppose W did take the papers 228 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,280 and went into town on the way back to Woolidge, where he is 229 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,480 hoping to replace the papers he's killed and thrown from the 230 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,680 train. But the spot. 231 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,360 Where the body was found is considerably past the station 232 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,120 for London Bridge, which is the route to Woolidge. 233 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,480 It's interesting also, if Young W did make an appointment with 234 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,520 some foreign agent to sell the papers that night, why didn't he 235 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,400 keep the evening clear? Why Buy 2 Theatre Tickets? 236 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,920 Exactly. Furthermore, he actually 237 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,720 escorted his fiancee halfway there before he disappeared. 238 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,600 Blind. That's what it looks like to. 239 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,040 Me. Why did you take the papers at 240 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,520 all? Why not copy them out in the 241 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,600 office and sell the copies? He certainly had plenty of 242 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,560 opportunity to do so. And why the absence of his 243 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,480 underground ticket? Perhaps the ticket would have 244 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,800 shown us which station was near the agent's house, so the 245 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,920 murderer destroyed it. Good, Watson, Very good. 246 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,760 And yet. I wonder well. 247 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,720 Here's the underground station The railway authorities have 248 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,000 sent a man round to show the exact place where the body was. 249 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,480 Found You won't change your mind and come with us. 250 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,360 We're crawling around that black hole on my hands and knees. 251 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,720 Not very likely. Well, I should expect a report 252 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,880 on your efforts this evening. I never expect too much. 253 00:11:49,880 --> 00:12:02,040 My craft never expect too much. Before we follow Holmes and 254 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,640 Watson into the mazes of the London subway system, I have a 255 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,080 word of advice. Every year coals cause a lot of 256 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,040 sickness. Every year they cause a lot of 257 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:16,240 expense and time lost from work. Always regard a cold seriously. 258 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,160 Always treat it earnestly at the first sign of a cold. 259 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,520 Take Groves Bromo quinine tablets. 260 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,120 Bromo quinine tablets are famous relief for the distress of a 261 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,560 cold. Their efficacy has been fully 262 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:31,440 established. Bromoquinine tablets go right to 263 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240 work on a cold symptom. They don't waste any time. 264 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,840 They don't pull any punches. They quickly relieve the misery 265 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,200 of a cold. They help reduce the fever of a 266 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,320 cold. Thousands of people keep 267 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,440 bromoquinine tablets handy all winter. 268 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,320 Thousands of people depend on them as their relief for colds. 269 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,320 No other preparation enjoys greater confidence than 270 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,880 bromoquinine tablets. Follow the example of millions 271 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,800 and at the first sign of a cold, take Groves, Bromoquinine 272 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,800 tablets. Get them at any drug store. 273 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,600 A few cents a box. Ask specifically for Groves, 274 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:10,640 Groves Bromo BROMO quinine, QUININE. 275 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:26,720 Groves Bromo Quinine Tablet. This way, Sir. 276 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,200 Step right along the tracks. That it isn't safe, supposing a 277 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,200 train should come shooting around that curve. 278 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,960 Oh, that's all right, Sir. There won't be another for 5 279 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,440 minutes anyway. Here we are, Sir. 280 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,080 This is where they found the body, right here, alongside the 281 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,120 rails lying on its face it. Was spooky old place homes like 282 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,120 the catacombs, only without the skeletons? 283 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,240 Anything in his hands when they found him now, Sir? 284 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Were they clenched or spread out as if he were protecting 285 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,480 himself? Now, Sir, there was what you 286 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,640 might call relax. What time did all this happen? 287 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,080 Well, Sir, the trainee was oystered out of as near as we 288 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,000 can figure passed along here about midnight on Monday. 289 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,040 All the carriages have been examined for signs of violence, 290 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,960 I suppose. And he didn't find nothing, not 291 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,240 even the missing ticket. There was a passenger to Allgate 292 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,880 on the ordinary train about 11:40. 293 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,480 It was, he said he'd heard a heavy, sad, like something 294 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680 striking the line just before the train reached this station. 295 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,120 But it was so foggy. He said he was blessed if he 296 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,680 could see what it. Was home. 297 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,360 What's the matter? What are you staring? 298 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880 At the curve, Watson, whatever the rails. 299 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,880 Whatever. What do you? 300 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,360 What do you? Mean. 301 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,440 I suppose there not many curves as abrupt as this. 302 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,200 No. So I can't say as there is. 303 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,920 What have curves got to do with it? 304 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,720 An indication Watson million indication, unique, perfectly 305 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,400 unique and yet why not, I don't see any indications of bleeding 306 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,320 on the line. No. 307 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,720 So there wasn't any to speak of. But I understand there was a 308 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,600 considerable wound. The bound was. 309 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,640 Crashed right in that. Holmes, you hear that? 310 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,960 It's a train. It's it's coming this way. 311 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,600 Run to. Run to your life in a place. 312 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,720 Where? The train switches on what to 313 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,200 run. It's just around the curve well. 314 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,040 We'll never make it. Yes, we will. 315 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,880 Faster. Faster. 316 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,640 There's the switch up. Come on. 317 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,320 Here comes the train. Now we'll make it. 318 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,200 We'll make it. Ah, Justin Watson. 319 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,120 For the love of heaven, you're on the wrong track. 320 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,400 That was a narrow escape, Holmes. 321 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,600 I must say my knees are still shaking. 322 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,360 Look at the shoulder of my coat where you pull it. 323 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,200 There lucky thing for you that I did. 324 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,240 Where are we off to now? And then there's fog. 325 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,440 Yes, it's a nice afternoon. Suppose we pay a few calls. 326 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,360 I think Sir James Walter claims our first attention After that. 327 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,720 Be my drop in on Miss Westbury, Miss. 328 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,920 Westbury. Who's she? 329 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,360 She is Cadogan West's fiance and the last person to see him 330 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,000 alive. We seem to be going around in 331 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,280 circles. We've encompassed absolutely 332 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,560 nothing so far, except to get to us to get ourselves nearly 333 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,280 annihilated in the underground. After all, it's perfectly 334 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,680 obvious the young man had a quarrel with someone, in all 335 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,920 probability the agent to whom he sold the papers and got himself 336 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,160 thrown out of the rail with carriage for his. 337 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,680 Pay I disagree with you Mandy Watson. 338 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480 His body fell from the roof of the carriage where it had been 339 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,960 placed. Cadogan W met his death 340 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,440 elsewhere. The roof. 341 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,480 Of the train, consider. The facts, Watson A. 342 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,640 The curve in the tracks, The body is found at a spot where 343 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,520 the train pitches and sways as it comes around the points. 344 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,520 B, there's no ticket. C There were no signs of 345 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,720 bleeding on the line because the body had bled elsewhere, of 346 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,280 course. Everything fits together but but 347 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,120 where was the body placed on the train? 348 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,720 I think I can make a fair guess of that. 349 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,080 My dear Watson, here we are. This is the famous official 350 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,640 villa of Sir James Walter. And that, if I'm not mistaken, 351 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,600 is his brother, Colonel Valentine just coming out of the 352 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,280 house. I'm familiar with a Manny. 353 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,360 He looks possibly haunted. Pardon me, Colonel Valentine, 354 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,680 but can you tell me if if Sir James is at home? 355 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,760 Sir James Sir Sir James is dead. Good heavens, dead. 356 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,160 He died this morning. It's terrible. 357 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,440 Terrible. How did he die? 358 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,000 It's this horrible. Scandal. 359 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,319 My brother Sir was very sensitive of his honour. 360 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,960 He couldn't survive the disgrace to his department. 361 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,760 It broke his heart. Pardon me, Jacob Heimus go. 362 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,280 It broke his heart. Most appalling development, Hey, 363 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,880 Holmes? I wonder if his death was 364 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,920 natural or if the poor fellow killed himself. 365 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,320 Yes. Will you tell Miss Westbrook Mr. 366 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,640 Sherlock Holmes would like to see her? 367 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,920 Oh. Please come in gentlemen. 368 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,280 I'm Violet Westbury. Mr. Holmes, I've been expecting 369 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,800 you ever since I heard you had taken the case. 370 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,920 Please be seated. Thank you. 371 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,520 Oh Mr. Holmes, we we must save his good name. 372 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,720 He couldn't have done it. God, Duggan was the most 373 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,400 chivalous patriotic gentleman on earth. 374 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,600 He couldn't have done it. He would have cut his right hand 375 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,000 off rather than sell a state. Secret but the facts, my dear 376 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,840 Miss Westbury. I admit I can't explain them. 377 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,240 Was he in need of money? No Mr. Holmes. 378 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,760 His need was simple and his salary very good. 379 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,120 He'd saved several 100 lbs. We were to. 380 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,080 Be married at the New Year. I see. 381 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,560 Had you noticed any signs of mental excitement? 382 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,080 Well, well, that is. Come Miss Westbury B Frank with 383 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,880 us. Yes, Mr. Holmes. 384 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,520 That night I I had a feeling that there was something on his 385 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,880 mind. Tell us about it, will you? 386 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,000 We. Were on the way to the theatre. 387 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,160 It was a foggy night. You remember. 388 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,040 We were walking slowly. Our weight took us close to his 389 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,880 office. Cadogan seems thoughtful and 390 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:57,000 worried. Darling, what's the matter? 391 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,520 You haven't said a word for the last five minutes. 392 00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,760 Have I said or done something of? 393 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,240 Course not silly, it's just that I've got something on my mind. 394 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,160 Why not tell me about it? Perhaps I can help. 395 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,200 It's no use fire. It's too serious for me to talk 396 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,160 about, even to you. You know, sometimes Katie, I 397 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,600 feel just the least little bit jealous of that old job of yours 398 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,520 when you're cooped up in that building all day. 399 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,640 No, you're not going to be jealous of a building. 400 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,560 Well, not really. But it is funny to think of a 401 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,280 husband hearing secrets he can't tell his wife. 402 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,120 Mighty important secrets, I can promise you. 403 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,120 There's one in particular that any foreign spy would pay good 404 00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:27,080 money to get hold of. How thrilling. 405 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,200 And I don't know an awfully slack about some things over 406 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,400 there in that building, Violet. What's too slack? 407 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,200 It would be too. Confounded. 408 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,400 Easy for a trader to get his hands on those plans. 409 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,240 What plan? Never mind, darling. 410 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,360 I guess I'm getting a bit melodramatic. 411 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:41,920 There's something been worrying me. 412 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,600 Hello. What's that? 413 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,840 What's what? Over there? 414 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,760 That shadow moving along the side of the building. 415 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,320 It's a man. So that's it I always suspected. 416 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,640 What's the matter? You're so excited. 417 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,760 What's wrong? Stay here, Violet. 418 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,080 There's something I have to find out? 419 00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:08,200 Stay here. I waited, waited, but he never 420 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720 returned. Well, Mr. Holmes, if you could 421 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,080 only save his honor. It meant so much to him. 422 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,960 We. Shall do our best, Miss 423 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,720 Westbrook. This the shadow, this man moving 424 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,440 along the building. Did you see it too? 425 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,880 I think I did, Mr. Holmes, but the night was so foggy I can't 426 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,840 be sure. But there must have been a man, 427 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,120 Another man. It couldn't have been Cadogan. 428 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,200 Sure, the character goes for something. 429 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,320 Let us hope so. Come along, Watson. 430 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,280 We must return home. I'm expecting an answer to some 431 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,240 telegrams I sent my craft earlier this afternoon. 432 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:49,040 We've done enough for one day. Holmes, what have you been all 433 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,480 day? You've left this morning for? 434 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,200 I was up. Now you've come home with your 435 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,120 towel or eye, your suit on and as ravenous as a wolf. 436 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,240 Yes, I've had a bit of exercise. My dear Watson, pass me the 437 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,800 tongue, will you? They would have done. 438 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,160 You've got to go along. Yes, what were you? 439 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,320 Doing investigating the premises inhabited my foreign spies known 440 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,200 to have been in London on last Monday, my craft sent me a list 441 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,160 of them. Took a bit of doing too. 442 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,480 Climbing walls, breaking into Cellars, prowling around 443 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,480 rooftops. I discovered there was only one 444 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,680 residence which had the proper facilities for disposing of 445 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,600 West's body after the murder. It belongs to a Hugo Oberstein. 446 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,680 The address is 13 Caulfield Gardens, Kentington. 447 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,840 The gentleman himself has departed for Europe. 448 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,920 Gone has he? He took the plans with him. 449 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:28,880 It's it's too late. Not. 450 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,320 Necessarily, Watson, what can we do? 451 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,480 Now we're. Going to keep a rendezvous with 452 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,160 the gentleman who stole and sold those plans. 453 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,680 The assignation will take place at Mr. Oberstein's house this 454 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,640 evening at 9:00. What? 455 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,600 The Do you see you talking? About these newspaper clippings, 456 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,440 I found them in the drawer of Hugo Oberstein's desk. 457 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,840 Read them. Daily Telegraph agony column. 458 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,800 The first one says too complex with description. 459 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,680 Must have full report terms. Agreed too, payable when goods 460 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,200 delivered. Sign Pero Piero indeed sounds 461 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,560 like a Mardi Gras. No, Read On wasn't. 462 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,640 Read On second goes matter, presses must withdraw for unless 463 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,000 contract completed. Piero. 464 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,920 Again, and the last day did Monday, the day the crime is 465 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,400 committed. Monday night after 9-2 taps 466 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,640 payment and hard cash, I say do you think it was submarine that 467 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,600 the plans that he was buying? I'm almost positive, and Piero 468 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,200 was Overstein himself, but you'll find out for certain this 469 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,040 evening. I've invited the gentleman who 470 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,600 sold the papers to meet us. How I don't understand. 471 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,280 Said this advertisement in today's Daily Telegraph tonight. 472 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,640 Same hour, same place, two taps. Vitally important. 473 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,640 Your own safety at stake. Sign Piero as usual. 474 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,680 By George, if he. Answers that we've, we've. 475 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,960 Got him. Unless we're too late. 476 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,320 Come along, Watson. There's no time to lose. 477 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,920 You can take this passage package for a change. 478 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,600 I'll I've been carrying it around all day. 479 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,160 What's in it? Oh, just a Jemmy, a Dark 480 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,480 Lantern, a chisel, and a revolver. 481 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,120 Nice equipment for a respectable citizen to be caring about the 482 00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:47,240 streets of London. I must. 483 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,480 Say you know, Watson, there are times when I suspect we aren't 484 00:22:50,480 --> 00:23:02,520 quite respectable. Here we are. 485 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,160 This is Coffee Gardens. Kevin's are. 486 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,520 So, Foggy, I shouldn't like to be caught in the active house 487 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,640 breaking, yeah. Oh, this Walt Watson. 488 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,880 There's a window we can usually pry open in the back. 489 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,720 Scale it well. Come on, hurry up. 490 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:13,840 Hurry up. There's no time to lose. 491 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,200 Here. Here, I'll give you a boost. 492 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,480 Come on. That's it. 493 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,760 Look out. Here I come. 494 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,160 I. Must say, Holmes, you're dead as 495 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,760 a cat. It's uncanny. 496 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,880 This is the window, right? The Lantern and give me the 497 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:39,560 Jimmy 1/2. Mr. Holmes Yamagam runs right 498 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,360 past here, almost on the level of these windows. 499 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,720 I could have reached out and touched it. 500 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,360 Yeah, it's quite convenient, wasn't it? 501 00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,200 It was here. The body was placed on the roof 502 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,840 of the train. Kind of this look on this window 503 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,640 sill. You can see the soot is blurred 504 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,400 with the rest of the body. And here, look here, look, look. 505 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,240 This brown stain is blood. Nasty. 506 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,000 Let's Let's get on into the house. 507 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,480 Very. Well then, come along, Come 508 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,400 along.

Overstein should happen to 511 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,920 return. Home. 512 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,840 We must take our chances in this business. 513 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,120 Come along Watson, come along. Our visitor will expect to be 514 00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,200 let in by the front door. I. 515 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:24,560 Wish these stairs didn't didn't squeak so. 9:00 We can expect 516 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,000 him at any moment Now. You take your position on one 517 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,600 side of the door. I'll be on the other. 518 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,480 We can punch on him when he enters. 519 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,840 I'll throw my great coat over his head, she Daria. 520 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,680 Shh, Watson. I wonder. 521 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,960 What if he doesn't? Come there he is. 522 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,400 Ready now. I'll open the door. 523 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,520 You wanted me? No, you don't take that easy, 524 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,440 Watson. Easy, all right. 525 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,360 Holmes, I've got him. Well, let's take a look at that 526 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:52,440 catch. Take the over. 527 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,280 Go away, Watson, right? Hi, it's Colonel Valentine Walk, 528 00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:57,560 Walter. She changes. 529 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,120 Bra. Quite well done. 530 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,360 One of you to save yourself. Why did you steal the Bruce 531 00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:03,680 Paddington plans? Oh, you. 532 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,240 What do you know about this? I am Sherlock Holmes and I know 533 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,280 everything. Oh, this is terrible. 534 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,120 I'm not. I didn't realize that importance 535 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,760 until my brother killed himself. But I needed the money. 536 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,080 I had to have it. Obstine offered to give it to me 537 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,000 if I'd let him see the plan. So you took an impression of 538 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,640 your brother's key, opened the safe, and procured the papers. 539 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,320 Gadag and West saw you leaving the building, followed you here, 540 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,000 and you killed him. No, I didn't do that. 541 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,360 I swear I didn't do it. No. 542 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,960 And perhaps you better tell us who did murder Gadag and West 543 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,200 and placed him on the roof of the railway carriage. 544 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,680 I'll tell you. I promise you I will. 545 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,400 I did the rest. I confess it. 546 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,760 But. But not that very well. 547 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,400 Then how did it happen? I got the papers, as you've 548 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,320 discovered, made my way through the fog until I reached the door 549 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,480 once or twice. I fancied I was being followed. 550 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,640 I could hear footsteps on the pavement behind me. 551 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,520 Colonel Alder, yes, you have the papers. 552 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,080 Yes, let me in quick. I think someone's been following 553 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:02,680 me. Yes, it's me. 554 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,560 You can't do this. Valentine it's freezing. 555 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:05,800 Hurray do here. No. 556 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,040 You can't sell the papers. Valentine, I won't let you. 557 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,280 They should see. Look out where? 558 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,880 How do you like that, my impetuous young friend Papa 559 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,840 Oversteam? He knows how to use a Fletcher 560 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,160 You. You. 561 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,000 You've killed him. So it's murder. 562 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,200 I got to get out of this. Oh no, I think different. 563 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,720 You will come in here if you do not wish to taste the blackjack 564 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,520 too. But I I. 565 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,160 That is better. Oh. 566 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,880 What can we do? They'll find the body. 567 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,920 I have an idea. First I look at those papers, I 568 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,560 take the ones I want, and the rest you put in the pocket of 569 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,160 this foolish young man. And then we give him a nice ride 570 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,200 on top of the underground train. No. 571 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,720 He will be the guilty one. Who will ever know? 572 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,800 What a thoroughly unpleasant gentleman. 573 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,160 What a pity that he got away with the papers, Doctor Watson. 574 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,080 But he didn't. Oberstein had left a Paris 575 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,760 forwarding address with Colonel Walters. 576 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,720 That gentleman sent him a letter dictated by Holmes, saying that 577 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,000 he had discovered that one essential detail in the plans 578 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,160 was missing and that he had procured A tracing which would 579 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,760 make it complete for a price. And that Oberstein swallowed the 580 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,240 bait. Did he swallow it? 581 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,920 He was arrested as he got off the boat at Folks some weeks 582 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,280 later. I learned, incidentally, that 583 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,280 Holmes had spent a day at Windsor Castle and returned with 584 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,360 a remarkably fine emerald type in. 585 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,320 When I asked him where he got it, he answered it was just a 586 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,880 small presence from a certain gracious little old lady for 587 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,920 whom he'd been able to do a small favour. 588 00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:45,760 Yes, and I think I can guess the lady's August name. 589 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,520 Elementary, my dear Mr. Manning elementary. 590 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720 I see. Ladies and gentlemen, in just a 591 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,000 moment, Doctor Watson will be back to tell us about next 592 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,280 week's story.

The lion's mane. 603 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,120 What was that Doctor Watson? The answer to that question, Mr. 604 00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,440 Manning, almost stumped Sherlock Holmes insult. 605 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,960 Suffice it to say that they were the last words gasped out by a 606 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:39,640 dying man as he lay writhing in agony on the sands of the Sussex 607 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:47,160 coast.
