Are you already with the night's new 6 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:13.560 sheerlock Ons adventure? 7 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.960 I am ready? If you are the boy? How would 8 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.280 you like to hear a story that took place in Italy? 9 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.559 In Italy, say you? 10 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.719 And the Great cherlock Holm certainly did get around? 11 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:24.399 What took you there? Doctor? 12 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.160 We've gone to Rome to investigate the sudden death of 13 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.760 Cardinal Tosca, an inquiry which I may tell you, mister Bartell, 14 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.679 was carried out by Holmes at the express desire of 15 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:34.520 his Holiness, the. 16 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.000 Pope, Say, doctor, that sounds like a well known o 17 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.520 mister Bartell. That's the story that I'm afraid I can 18 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:40.200 never tell you. 19 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.000 However, tonight's adventure took place a few days after Holmes 20 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.560 had brought his case to a satisfactory, though somewhat terrifying conclusion. 21 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.600 I suggested to the great Man that a short holiday 22 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.159 would be good for us before returning to England, and 23 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.439 so we spent some happy days browsing among the architectural 24 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:57.520 treasures of old Rome. 25 00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:58.840 The Colosseum, the. 26 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.280 Baths of Caracalla, the Forum, the wonderful ruins on the 27 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.959 Palatine Hill. I couldn't drag homes away from the mister Bartel, 28 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.719 and at nighttime he was able to indulce to his 29 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.159 heart's content, his great love of music. Finally, it was 30 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.120 two nights before we were to sail for England. I 31 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.599 remember we went to the opera house to hear the 32 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:21.640 famous Italian soprano Gina Valcazy singing bared his immortal l traviata. 33 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.439 I can hear that exquisite voice now, mister Bartel, as 34 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.359 Holmes and I seated in a box, listened spelled down 35 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:30.599 to the great Valcazy singing her last day. 36 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.400 What a voice, Watson, what a magrificent boy, Yes it is, Holmes. 37 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.719 A pity though, that most opera stars who seeing at 38 00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.760 Nightingale seemed to have the figures of. 39 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.640 An usually well fed powder pigeons. Poor woman, she must 40 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.640 weigh at least twenty stone. Nevertheless, you mustn't refer to 41 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.919 her as poor, my dear chap. Despite her somewhat unfortunate proportions, 42 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.919 Signora Gildavalkse remains one of the greatest and wealthiest of 43 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.280 contemporary supanos. Listen to real clause, I say, I'm not 44 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.840 admitial second uncore, you might as well go back to 45 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:24.479 addressing room. Now the opera's almost over. 46 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.560 Why are we going back to the addressing because during 47 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.000 the last intervision I received a note from her requesting 48 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:29.639 my attendance. 49 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.680 Oh what did the notes say? Well, it seems that 50 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.599 the lady is not too popular with certain numbers of 51 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.759 the opera company. Well, I had no wish to become 52 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:40.439 entangled in any opera clashed temperaments, I confess I find 53 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.800 myself not a little interested in meeting the lady.

I 173 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.559 compared the writing with that on the note and I 174 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.120 that I received in the box last night it was 175 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.960 that it was the same, proving that the message I 176 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.200 received was authentical. In that case, why did she snub 177 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.519 you like that? Well? Something was to fight her, I 178 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:14.000 suppose something or someone who was standing at the dressing 179 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.759 room door with us.

I cannot tell you what it DoD to me. 233 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.360 May it sound no, No, not at all, Senora. Such 234 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.600 a condition is quite common. In fact, I believe medical 235 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.360 science has given it a name. It's known as Alora Povia. 236 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.039 Whatever it is it called. It make me ill. I 237 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.120 must go to my room. I cannot stand much more, 238 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.960 my poor I imagine with your sister death door, Signora, 239 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.600 you will not sing tonight, sing your arms. 240 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.000 I love her very much, but even as sister is 241 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:25.279 only a sister, my art is my life. In an hour, singer, 242 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.759 I sing Hilda in a rigoletto. You will attend the performance, 243 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.559 and afterwards you will tell a love at Casey, how she. 244 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.440 May trap this devil who seek to destroyer? 245 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:51.559 Oh Holmes, it's after nine point thirty. We've missed quite 246 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.840 a lot of the opera. How they was going to above? 247 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.919 Now just been time to hear at our case he 248 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.440 sing the incomparable kronomy let's slip in the quite as 249 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.919 we can. Seems to me we should have been in 250 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.279 our box from the beginning of a performance. She asked 251 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.200 you to keep an eye on chan. But it occurred 252 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.399 to me that an attack on her during the performance 253 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.840 was unlikely, and that our time might be more profitably 254 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.679 spent thinking inquiries of the writing academy. She drew a blank. 255 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.080 We fell no trace of that mysterious writer. No, but 256 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.799 at least we tried. Here we are, let's stand at 257 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:33.320 the back of the theater forty minutes, Great Scott, that 258 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.159 isn't our cases singing. It's the understudy. But helese protaghe 259 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.360 the American girl. He's a Bodoni. What a beautiful life one, 260 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.960 but with a beautiful, wonderful range. But yeah, we have 261 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.120 no time to listen to her. Now we must go 262 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.120 to the dark cases dressing them at once. We know 263 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.559 she left the theater tonight with the intention of singing, 264 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.320 I'm very much afraid there's the devil's work of what Watson? 265 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:15.519 Why on earth doesn't she answer? Listen? Cats inside her 266 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.559 dressing room. Come on, Watson, lock pt your shoulder to it. 267 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.480 Come on, help me, Come on? What's more? Come on? 268 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:22.399 Now? 269 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:27.639 What's there? Fights? Cout? She's unconscious, Watson, See what you 270 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.120 can do for her. She must have think of the fights. Yes, 271 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.840 some fiend knowing her deadly fear of cats as lucks 272 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.039 her in here with half a dozen nothings shore shore 273 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:41.399 on shore. Her eyes are opening homes. She's coming to 274 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.679 sor Varse. Her lips are moving. She's trying to speak, 275 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:52.639 sor tell me who did this to you? Hu, greats heavens. 276 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.559 Her voice is gone. I've known many vicious crimes in 277 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.919 my lifetime, Watson, but to murder her voice, a boy 278 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.399 that was one of the treasures of the world, is 279 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.559 as by a killing as I've ever encountered. 280 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.080 Doctor Watson will tell you the rest of his story 281 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:17.799 in just a few seconds. And right now would be 282 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.799 a wonderful time to try a glass of Petrie California 283 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:25.200 port in the evening after dinner, well, anytime you're taking 284 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.159 things easy, is the perfect time for petre Port. Petre 285 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.279 Port is a rich red wine, the kind of wine 286 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:34.840 you like to sip slowly so you won't miss a 287 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:38.360 drop of its truly fine flavor. I'm not kidding when 288 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.759 I say you owe it to yourself and your family 289 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.200 to try petri Port. In fact, you should try pet 290 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:48.600 Report and Petrie Muscatel. So don't buy one, buy two, 291 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:53.159 buy both Port and Muscatel. Just be sure you get Petrie, 292 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.600 because Petree wine is always good wine. 293 00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:59.799 Well, Dr Watson saw the great. 294 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:01.759 Opera They gonna lost her voice when someone locked in 295 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.759 a room full of cats? 296 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.240 Huh, what did you? 297 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.000 And Sharlock Holmes dough We took Senior Valcazy back to 298 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.080 her hotel at once and saw that she was properly 299 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:09.720 taken care of. 300 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.600 How did the understudy, Lisa Bordoni make out? Doctor? 301 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.919 The tragedy that overtook Clark Valcazy gave her her great chance. 302 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.159 She received a tremendous ovasion at the close of the performance, 303 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.759 and it seemed certain that another star had been born. 304 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:24.440 But let me tell you the story just as it happened, 305 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.240 mister Bartel. A little later that night, Holmes and I 306 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.720 were once again standing on the balcony of our hotel, 307 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.399 watching a crowd of people that had assembled in the colture. 308 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.279 You see that crowd, Watson, Yes, I suppose they've come 309 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.639 here to proclaim the news stuff. 310 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.440 Oh no, my dear fellow, that crowd isn't planning a celebration. 311 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.320 Look at them and listen to their angry murmuring her afraith, 312 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.679 there's going to be trouble. R. I don't like to 313 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:47.840 look at it. Oh. Here comes Lisa Bord and his 314 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.200 brother Wally. What trumk, sir, mister Holmes, mister Holt, You've 315 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.600 got to do something. What's happened? Well? 316 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:54.639 Somehow the story about the cats and lave val Casey's 317 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.919 dressing room is spread the crowd outside her, saying that 318 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.440 my sister Lisa planned the whole thing so that she 319 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:00.840 could sing all Casey's part in. 320 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.759 The opportunity of her sister. 321 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.039 Now in a room at the hotel here, I managed 322 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:05.559 to get her away from the crowd and I locked 323 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:05.759 her in. 324 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.079 But the mob, I'm frightened. Ah. Here comes the official 325 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.799 representative of law and daughter and inspected bilin Waale. Where 326 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:14.640 is Lisa? I was just telling mister Holmes that I'd 327 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:16.839 locked her in a room and that crowd's in a 328 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.119 dangerous mood. Belina, what precautions you're taking? 329 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.440 I ever thrown a card on of police around the hotel. 330 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.279 The mob is getting out of her hand, and Lisa 331 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.400 must be protected. As a matter of fact, the situation 332 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.440 is even worse than. 333 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:29.160 The crowd knows. 334 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.240 I have just been thought that Lava Case's twin sister, 335 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:33.240 Bella died. 336 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.160 In the hospital to night, that I had some murder charge. 337 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.200 If the crowd knew about that, I tremble to think 338 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:40.640 what might happen? Did you see that. 339 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.839 Casey's sister was a twin inspector in your homes? She 340 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.039 was a horror exactly double in everything but voice. 341 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.880 Indeed, how very illuminating. If you don't mind, I s 342 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:54.640 I have a few words in private with my friend 343 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:58.640 doctor Watson excuses for a moment. What do you make 344 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.440 of at homes? Why are you a check? Well? 345 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.799 The American girl seemed very charming and all that, but 346 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.200 she might have done it. It had to be either her, 347 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.240 her brother, or the inspector himself. They all had a 348 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.599 motive for wanting lav bel CAZy to lose her voice. 349 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.799 But I must say I can't understand the motive behind 350 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.039 the murder of her to insist. 351 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.519 I think I can give you the answer to that 352 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.200 question in a very few minutes. But meanwhile, the mob 353 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.440 gets uglier and uglier. The only way to avert violence, Watson, 354 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:25.720 is to give them quick proof and a certainty of conviction, 355 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.519 and just go back to Bilini and the young American, 356 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.319 and I want to keep an eye on them. Meanwhile, 357 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.039 I want you to slip out and get me a cat. 358 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.720 Cat fo You'll find out soon enough.

I thought i'd take him 368 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:10.799 up to my hotel room and have a little game 369 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.559 with him.
