1
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Now, doctor Watson, Will you go on with your story with.

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Pleasure, mister Stark, with pleasure. It was late one Saturday

3
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>evening in May. Holmes, who had been promising.

4
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 1>To get at it all day, was finally.

5
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Sorting out certain odds and ends of notes and papers.

6
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.399
<v Speaker 2>He sat at his desk, the lamplies shining up into

7
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 2>his eyes, looking rather than like some gigantic bird of prey.

8
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 1>I lay on the couch, enjoying my faithful briar Watson.

9
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>You'd better put out your pipe if you're going to

10
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>drop off to sleep.

11
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I wasn't sleeping. I was thinking. I always think

12
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>better with my eyes closed. And when you're.

13
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Storing, I suppose I wasn't snoring. Perhaps not, But you

14
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>were getting ready to nothing of the sort some people can't.

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 2>You're seeing anyone else relaxed and at ease while they

16
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>have a.

17
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Job of work to do.

18
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>May I point out, my dear Holmes, as if you

19
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>had got at your labors at a.

20
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Decent dour as I did, you, will.

21
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>You sake wat from stopping so confounded?

22
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Smug? Hell? What's that the door bell?

23
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Of course you don't look still hopeful, Holmes, I don't

24
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>imagine it's anything that will interrupt your labors. Probably a

25
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>caller from missus Hudson or the green grocer to leave

26
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>his weekly bill. It's not the green roser wantson. He

27
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>rings once and slips the bill under the door.

28
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>No, that is someone for us.

29
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Ah, whatever brought in here is sufficiently urgent to necessitate

30
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>my postponing sorting these papers.

31
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank Heaven, Come in.

32
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Come in, mister Holmes, mister Shallock, Holmes Homes. It's mister Melliwether.

33
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 2>You remember mister Merriwell, the chairman of the City and

34
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Suburban bang around the corner from Saxico dext Square. It

35
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>with the trouble, isn't there but in the suburban branch

36
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 2>this time Dr Watson the Chizzick brouse to be it

37
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>sacked Chisick. It was originally pronounced Chiswick Watson, and it's

38
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 2>still so spelled.

39
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>It means cheese farm. I believe.

40
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>However, I don't imagine mister Medweather has dropped into discuss

41
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the most frequently mispronounced of all means of communication, the

42
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>English language.

43
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Good Lord, No, if mister Holmes.

44
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 2>Something must be done to protect my bank messengers.

45
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I've had six in hospital.

46
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>With concussion of the brain one a week for the

47
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 2>last half dozen weeks. It's always on Saturday night.

48
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>It happens year.

49
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was under the impression that Chriswick was a quiet,

50
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>respectable suburb that rarely indulged in that sort of a

51
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night Nobody doesn't, at least it never has it

52
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>or up to six weeks ago. And now every Saturday night,

53
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 2>regular day, one of my bank messengers has been a

54
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>tecked and robbed, robbed of a considerable sum of money. Oh,

55
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>now we come to the crux of the matter. What

56
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>exactly were your bank messengers doing with large sums of

57
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 2>money on Saturday night carrying it from the Elephant and Castle,

58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 2>the famous old alehouse in Boston Yard to the bank.

59
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>To be the positive. Isn't that a rather unusual procedure?

60
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 2>It is, mister Holmes, it is, indeed, he But that's

61
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>how we persuaded old mister Jeremy prior to the Elephant

62
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the Castle to bring us his account. You see, the

63
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>elephant in Castle does its best business on Saturday night,

64
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 2>not unusually wants in quiet, quiet peace. Oh, mister Jeremy

65
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 2>is somewhat pidgity about having that much money lying around

66
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>the place till the bank's open on Monday morning.

67
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's been.

68
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Robbed twice and it's made him Robin nervous.

69
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll blame him if so.

70
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Were you arranged to have a bonded bank messenger has

71
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>sent over every Saturday night after closing hours.

72
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>To gather up the money. So old, Jeremy, go eat

73
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>in peace. Now. I wish we never made the offer.

74
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Once the bank messengers signed a receipt for the money,

75
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the bank is liable for any loss down to the

76
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 2>last penny.

77
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Were jove Dan, you have had an expensive six weeks.

78
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Expensive so far it's cost us puts of three thousand pounds.

79
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Tell me, mister Medwa, when did the first of these

80
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 2>robberies occur? Seven weeks ago?

81
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Tonight?

82
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>It was shortly after closing hours when the policeman on

83
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>the beat heard it, yelling and the shouting as he

84
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>came down hook Off Lane. It's been missed.

85
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Rising off the river the first you can see nothing.

86
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>For the Lord of Heaven help, I know what's a somebody.

87
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Help, somebody call him, but I can't see a blessed.

88
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 2>So hallo, what's the trouble and where are you in

89
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>here through the arch in Bosting, and how are you?

90
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 1>And what's the difficulty?

91
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm Peddiejonavan caretaking of hook that host. There's a man

92
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 2>lying lying on the storns, impared me to hip and tinging.

93
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Hand back as the inside of my pocket in here?

94
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 2>What's happened to the light of the elephant in Castle

95
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 2>cur has been.

96
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Put out this half hour?

97
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>The elephant is a lower abiding house who will never

98
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>see old Jeremy shove a man that drink half thad

99
00:04:59.319 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>And there's he.

100
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I double for it.

101
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Now, don't try the white post, Jeremy, I know the

102
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>old scanty?

103
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you answered? Over here?

104
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>You best see what can be done for this court chap.

105
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 2>He's in a bad way.

106
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, well, let's have a look at it, Gord.

107
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>It is a car.

108
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a bank messenger from the city in suburban and Roberly.

109
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what it says, I wanrant.

110
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>When did it happen? I couldn't rightly say offically.

111
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>All I know is that I was knocking up the

112
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 2>front door of Hoggard's house previous to go into bed,

113
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>when suddenly I heard his scople here in the yard,

114
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 2>and a man called out like he was in mark Lagon.

115
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Yellow ran in the air at once, just so fast

116
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>as evanly wooden leg would carry me here.

117
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not so spry as I once was, you know,

118
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>but I was in time to see a great shadow

119
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>of a man drest calling black with a mask over

120
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 2>his face.

121
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 1>He was leaning over this poor fella here.

122
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>When I came into the yard through the archway, I

123
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>says to himself, Ah.

124
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I've got your trampy buckle.

125
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the archway is the only entrance to the

126
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>yard or exit either except you go through into the

127
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 2>elephant in castle, which I've been after telling he has

128
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.000
<v Speaker 2>been closed halfway hid. That says maybe, well, at any rate,

129
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the man shoved past you and out the archway.

130
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 1>That he did not. I may not be so spraying

131
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the feet, but mephist is as good as ever.

132
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>No man in Lave can come into a Peddy Donovan

133
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>if he ventures within arms reached out.

134
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 1>So he went in the elephant and castle he did not?

135
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Then I suppose you'll be telling me he disappeared into

136
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>thin air. He did something changing, and let me lad

137
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 2>he skinned up the wall and over it like a cat.

138
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>That's impossible, that their wall is twelve feet dared, and

139
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing for footholds anywhere.

140
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Possible and not.

141
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 2>That's what happened up he went and over like a cat,

142
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 2>a great black cat. Give me the yea look at

143
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>listeners explaining, wait, it's the leg of his head. I'm

144
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>thinking there's blood. Who's he light in the pavement from

145
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>behind his ear?

146
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Help me turn him over. We will have a look

147
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 1>at the Lord love us. Who do you look at that?

148
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 1>And nasty Bloyd must have been.

149
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Cool, but he's more than just an ordinary now lively,

150
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 2>look here, Look at great bloody gashes when he's right

151
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 2>down into his neck.

152
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Why he'd been it with a rake o god, by

153
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a giant cat.

154
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I saw this as well, mister Helmes, I promise you

155
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>that's what they look like, the claw marks of a

156
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 2>gigantic cat, the catman eh who scales twelve foot walls

157
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 2>and whose blow these deep gashes? Interesting, mister Medwethne interesting

158
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and just a bit incredible. There is no such creature,

159
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 2>mister Helms.

160
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 1>There can't be. Oh I don't know. I saw one once.

161
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>It was in that phrase music Hall, Remember whom the

162
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 2>chad to end of the Smooth Child wall nearly.

163
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen feet high.

164
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I believe you have some sort of suction device attached

165
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>to his hands and.

166
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Feet that credit count for it.

167
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I suppose it might occur for the fellow's disappearance over

168
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the wall, but not for the gashes. Another significant phenomena

169
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>that is what interests me. Wats in those gashes? This

170
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>man with a wooden leg?

171
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Donovan? I believe you said his name was Is he.

172
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>A reliable witness, mister Melliwether, right, Yes, at least I

173
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 2>suppose so. He's been caretaker at Hogarth House for over

174
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years. Hogarth Houses where they have the famous collection

175
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>of Hogarth's Joys and the like. It's open to the public.

176
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 2>It's set Sunday's for small fee. I'm afraid Donovan.

177
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Isn't kept over busy with visitors. He spends much of.

178
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 2>His time at the Elephant House.

179
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Huh, that's it. He was drunk. Instead of seeing a

180
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>pink elephant, he saw man sized black cat.

181
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Who was substantial enough to claw and rob.

182
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>The bank's messenger.

183
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, if you're going to be technical, tell me,

184
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>mister Mediwell, well, this fellow with a wooden leg and

185
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 2>my host of the elephantant Castle on good terms. Jenivan

186
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>and Jeremy have been cronies for years, mister Holmes, so

187
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 2>then anything unusual that goes on at the Elephant Castle

188
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>would be known.

189
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 1>To both undoubtedly.

190
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if between them they'd

191
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 2>cooked up a neat little scheme to do the bank

192
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 2>out of a tidy summer money.

193
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Of course, homes, I see it all.

194
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Incredible, Old General falls, a messenger to me has just

195
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 2>handed the day's profits out into a courtyard, bludgeons him

196
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 2>and retires quickly with the money into his own premises.

197
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Then along hobbles mister.

198
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Donovan with a cock and bull story about seeing an

199
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>incredible cat like creature. Gentlemen, it covers his days headings

200
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>and is reimbursed by the bank as well, whereupon he

201
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 2>has to slip the swag with mister Dunnovan and is

202
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 2>consequently no better off. But if he'd saved himself the trouble.

203
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I see your point, mister Holmes. But there are people

204
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 2>you know who enjoy making a crooked sixpence more than

205
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 2>a straight shilling. Oh but good heavens is half to eleven,

206
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.159
<v Speaker 2>And I promised Jeremy I would be at the eleganting

207
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.399
<v Speaker 2>Castle my closing time. You mean you're undertaking the job

208
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>of bank messenger yourself tonight, mister medical right? I well,

209
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a particularly brave man, but I don't feel

210
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I have the rights to ask an employee to take

211
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 2>a risk. I would wish to assume myself.

212
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh loom.

213
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, I'm not completely cool, Harvey. I

214
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>think the danger would be considerably minimized if I'm assisted

215
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.799
<v Speaker 2>by mister Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.

216
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>What do you say, Watson?

217
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Would you consider a possible encounter with a catman who

218
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>robs bank messengers a sufficient excuse for postponing tidying up

219
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 2>my papers?

220
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you think, Holmes? I've gone this.

221
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:20.639
<v Speaker 2>I's nevous with all the thank heavens is a moon

222
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 2>tonight and no fog.

223
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>But here we are, gentlemen.

224
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Hogarth's name takes its name, of course, from him Hogar,

225
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 2>whose country residence was here situated from seventeen forty nine.

226
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>There, who are I mean? What was calm yourself? Wat?

227
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 2>And it's merely a police officer on duty if I'm

228
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.039
<v Speaker 2>not mistaken. Yes, they stationed an officer at either end

229
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 2>of the lane every Saturday night. Now they've never caught

230
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 2>anyone off, prevented the numerous repetitions at the first crime.

231
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Not so far. Well tonight will be different because Copland's

232
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 2>yard is personally taken over. Well well, if it isn't

233
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 2>inspect to lustad my favorite watchdog of the public, Staf did.

234
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 1>And what do you think you're doing?

235
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Heros endeavoring to stop the robbings and pluggetings which the

236
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:01.759
<v Speaker 2>minions of the law and order don't seem to be

237
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 2>able to terminate.

238
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>The yell at the one step nearer the scene of

239
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>this crime.

240
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 2>No one's allowed in busts and yard denied without their permit,

241
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 2>which I have duly obtained for myself and body part.

242
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Here it is are you?

243
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, allow me to introduce you as Cland this is

244
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 2>mister Mellyweather, whose bank has suffered a considerable loss of

245
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>six successive weeks due to the inefficiency of the police.

246
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 1>You go to play with pleasure.

247
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought I'd have to rush off the strand, but

248
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm afraid you're making mister Mellyweather late for his appointment

249
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>at the elephanted Castle. Come on, Watson, HM of a

250
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.320
<v Speaker 2>very well lighted not a fair homes well enough, I

251
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 2>doubt that anything escaped my notice, conceit pure conceitant telling,

252
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 2>mister Meadowether in the case of the succeeding Saturday night

253
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 2>bank Robert is was the pattern of the crime similar

254
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 2>to the first, almost identical, mister Holmes, except that policemen

255
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 2>have been stationed at either end of this section of

256
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Hogarth's Lane to make sure that no one could leave

257
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 2>or enter without being seen for the police. These so

258
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>as skeptical as you are about a catman, mister Holmes.

259
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>And yet each week a messenger has been clawed on

260
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the back of the head and robbed without uttering a

261
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 2>sound or putting up a struggle. Oh not without uttering

262
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 2>a sound, mister Holmes. Each time the victim has cried out,

263
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>but by the time that Donovan has reached the spot,

264
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the culprit was vanishing over the world. Then in each

265
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>case Donovan was the first to reach the victim. Why, yes,

266
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>that's right.

267
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, but that's only natural.

268
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Donovan is in the habit of smoking his last type

269
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.200
<v Speaker 2>on the steps of Hogarth House, where where he is

270
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>the caretaker. You see, you're over there. Hogarth House is

271
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 2>almost directly opposite the entrance to Boston Yard, and consequently,

272
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 2>after the cry was heard, he was able to reach

273
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 2>the scene of the crime ahead of the police, who

274
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>had to run some distance.

275
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Sounds reasonable in out their homes.

276
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yes, that must to the old boilverhead there sitting

277
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.879
<v Speaker 2>on the steps with one.

278
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Leg stuck out before him. Yes, he's noticed us. He's

279
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>getting up. No, he's walking away the other direction. Ah,

280
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Chris God, it was.

281
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>That put of the night's crime. Confounded.

282
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 1>But that's impossible. Mister Merriwell is here with a lady.

283
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Wants me run there, go Glevan through the gate into

284
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 1>into the yard. I say he's a strive for chaperd

285
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and the one good leg because he don't waste his

286
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 1>breath that you do want. Here's the entrance, Grevin, what happened?

287
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I warned him not to do it?

288
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I warned him. Mister medi said that you were late,

289
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and he wanted to touch the money to the bank. Couldn't.

290
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Thought it's Jeremy for the legs best, So Jeremy, the

291
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>money is safe.

292
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Not this time they didn't get it. I was waiting.

293
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm done for but the money's safe. Jeremy. You know

294
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>who hit you. I suspect it for some time. Now

295
00:14:59.399 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I know.

296
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh he's going fast and he can't before he kills us.

297
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Mister Jeremy, who is the criminal? It's it's Peggy, Peggy.

298
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 2>I he's gone, Jeremy, JEREMYE me, poor old Jeremy. Woman

299
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:29.799
<v Speaker 2>thunder is Peggy.

300
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 1>It's do you know, Donovan? How should I know the cat?

301
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>It must have been a woman all the time, a

302
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>woman testing men's clothes, A woman who could give a

303
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.039
<v Speaker 2>man a blow hard enough to kill him and then

304
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.919
<v Speaker 2>disappear over the twelve foot wall. You saw her do that, Donovan,

305
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:47.600
<v Speaker 2>before we came in the yard, a minute after you

306
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 2>got here. Well, what that is in Norman? Maybe tonight

307
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see the killer. Maybe tonight I wouldn't know.

308
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I was that upset when I see it as Jimmy,

309
00:15:59.240 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 2>I know what?

310
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:01.159
<v Speaker 1>So what's wrong here?

311
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Mister Jeremy has been bludgen the stud He is dead.

312
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh he is right under mister Sherlock.

313
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Elms says, no, let's start, whoever finish stop. Old Jeremy

314
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>is still here in this courtyard. He couldn't have scaled

315
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:14.919
<v Speaker 2>the wall this time.

316
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>We'd have seen him. But it wasn't a he Holmes.

317
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Mister Jeremy Tay's assailant's name was Peggy. I don't care

318
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 2>what is her name was, if he or she is

319
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:27.120
<v Speaker 2>still here, I was here or you fellas touch the yard.

320
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 2>That's what we've been doing, goodness, and I think we

321
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 2>found something inter rested here behind the rain barrel.

322
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>What's that?

323
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 2>It's a man lie like it was drunk, somebody that

324
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 2>was sprung out of the pub earlier leaving it's not.

325
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And who resented it?

326
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>And to gain even with Jeremy, there's motive, had opportunity

327
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.559
<v Speaker 2>as well. Arrest him and think about to jail, and

328
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you donovant help him carry the body back into the

329
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.440
<v Speaker 2>elephant and council. Yes this three points carry em easy

330
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 2>and with this step my poor Jeremy, Poor poor Jeremy.

331
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Well say, Scotland Yard is indicted with dispatch and efficiency,

332
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and but it's the usual packet intelligence and concerns for

333
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 2>truth and justice. If this man isn't guilty, I suppose

334
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 2>you can tell us it were quite. However, you wouldn't

335
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.079
<v Speaker 2>believe me. You see, I have no proof of my theory.

336
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:34.440
<v Speaker 2>It will take until next Saturday night to acquire that.

337
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel dash city homes, dressed up in this bank

338
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 2>messenger outfit. What's the point to it all, Watson? We're

339
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 2>dealing with a sly and devious criminal. The only way

340
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 2>is to catch him red handed. During your service in

341
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the Far East, I believe you've taken part on a

342
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 2>tiger hunt.

343
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh what are this?

344
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 2>You know the procedure The hunter tell us a kid

345
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:58.000
<v Speaker 2>or a lamb to a tree and then retires to

346
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a nearby blind to wait for the tiger to attack.

347
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Kids pray, Only this time it's not a tiger. Whereafter

348
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a cat named Piggy, and I'm the goat.

349
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Quite yes, I think you may start on your journey

350
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 2>across Boston yard Watson. It's raining tonight, lowers the visibility. However,

351
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:20.559
<v Speaker 2>perhaps that's just as Will or the killer might recognize you. Well,

352
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.559
<v Speaker 2>all open the door and out to go. You've got

353
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 2>the earnings of the elephant and castle safe in your punches.

354
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>And naturally you put them there.

355
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, good luck, Watson. Don't be too nervous. Remember the

356
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.680
<v Speaker 2>strad is hidden behind the rain. Berel five A lot

357
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:33.640
<v Speaker 2>of comfort, that is.

358
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's get it over with now. Two up, old boy,

359
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>and whatever you do all sideways. When I call out.

360
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Into a mud huddle, probably he'll arguing too, as I say,

361
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 2>your life may depend on it.

362
00:18:55.559 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Good lord, what a night team? Some dogs? Cats never

363
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 1>cared much for cats. This isn't going to improve that.

364
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 1>What's that shadow sleeping along the wall over there?

365
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Who compound this rain? A? What was that?

366
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Someone's coming this way? He's running through the gates. Hey, Jovan,

367
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:31.680
