WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:03.480 Now, doctor Watson, what about the singular affair which began 2 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:06.040 in the sackless thanks confined that the British Museum. 3 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:07.919 Well, I must admit that I was not a frequent 4 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:09.599 visitor to those gloomy halls. 5 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:10.160 But on this. 6 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.519 Particular morning, homes have been insistent. All scientists in London, 7 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.879 especially the archaeologists, were a god of the arrival of 8 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.800 Lord Cranwood's sensational Egyptian discoveries. Several days homes have been 9 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.960 deeply immersed in research among the Cranwood antiquities, so that 10 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.280 now I find myself in the Egyptian gallery of the 11 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:31.039 British Musem. 12 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.759 I say, what's the look here? This notation definitely proves 13 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:37.759 the use of string instruments as well as fruits as 14 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.960 early as three thousand BC. 15 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.920 Interesting homes interesting indeed, if plesa, the smoking is absolutely. 16 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.359 A big muff or right or right or hello Homes 17 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.479 or Watson. I don't think you know, Professor Halliday of 18 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.520 the British Museum. Professor, this is my friend, doctor Watson. 19 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.560 Doctor Watson, not the eminent doctor Eustace Watson, the well 20 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.079 known archaeologist of Edinburgh. 21 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.479 I'm honored, mister John H. Watson the Bakery Street, Oh Solo. 22 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.359 This is doctor Watson's first visit to all your magnificent 23 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.560 new acquisitions. Professor Halliday, it's a veritable treasure house, gentlemen. 24 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.760 The late Lord Cranwell's excavations at the sight of ancient 25 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.280 Aby does have given the Museum a priceless mine of information. 26 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.079 Yet the price in human lives has not been inconsiderable. 27 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.040 First Lord Ranwood himself only a few days after the 28 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.400 Shrine of Harsha Feet was opened. 29 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.719 I'm out of almost eighty Mister Holmes, the strain and 30 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.079 excitement of the discovery but too much for him, no doubt. 31 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.439 And then a month later, doctor Duma disappearing mysterious day 32 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.200 from camp, only to be found hopelessly insane and babbling 33 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.840 madly before he died, and young Wilson vanished into thin air, 34 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.000 had assumed to have been lost overboard from the shift 35 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.480 that was bringing the expedition back to England, though it 36 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:42.760 was a calm, moonlit night. 37 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.400 Don't tell me that you, of all people believe this news. 38 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.840 They could talk the Husha Fitz curse, mister Holmes. I 39 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.640 believe nothing that is not susceptible of proof. 40 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.000 Professor. Evidently the new Lord Cranwood is quite undisturbed by 41 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.359 any threats of a curse upon his family. I've seen 42 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.200 him working here every day this week. Is is that 43 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:02.319 Lord Crodwood. Yes, he's a deliberate man over there, just 44 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.480 beyond that fifth sarcophagus Wood. He chap with a rather 45 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.920 florid faces, packing those notes into his briefcase. 46 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.960 Must judging from his appearance, I should think the curse 47 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.719 of or watch his name wouldn't have much luck with him. 48 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.319 You excuse me, gentlemen, I WoT a word with Lord 49 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:18.319 Cranward before he leaves. 50 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.400 As the whom supposing I run along, I'll beat you 51 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:25.000 the club for Lunchome, Lord cragwe better why he's. 52 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.960 Collapsed with Watson. I don't understand. He just seemed the keel. 53 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.080 Let me take a load of him. 54 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.479 You were standing right toside him. Professor just won't have 55 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.240 fun is speaking to him? He clutched his throat. Try 56 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.759 to say something had collapsed home, Yes, what's the man's dead? 57 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.599 Impossible cause of death? Watson, I should have said, heart. 58 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:41.360 But but the. 59 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.680 Curious rigidity of the muscles. If his hands and throat 60 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.479 aren't consistent with that diagnosis is that. 61 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:46.800 It wasn't quite correct, Homes. 62 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.439 He would better notify Scotland Yard at once. Professor Halliday 63 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.719 got and God whos to hold it you suggesting? I 64 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.599 suggest nothing, Professor Halliday. But Lord Cranwood has died extremely suddenly. 65 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.960 In you are the three previous deaths which have occurd 66 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.319 among the members of the expedition. I feel that this 67 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.319 is definitely a matter for the police. I sent for 68 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.439 them at once. I'm certain, Watson, that the second b 69 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.599 look at Lord Cranwood's body will suggest to your mind 70 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.000 a cause of death with which you cannot be unfamiliar 71 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:15.639 after your NY career in India. The congested eyeballs, the 72 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:16.680 rigid neck muscles. 73 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.560 You mean snake. 74 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.039 Bite precisely, the bite of some venomous and highly poisonous 75 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.639 snake is the only cause consistent with these appearances that. 76 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.240 There are no snakes here in the British Museum. 77 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.960 That, Watson, is why I sent for Scotland Yard. 78 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.639 You've been pacing up down enough two solid days' homes. 79 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:44.479 Would it be too much to ask you to be 80 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.319 seated for at least five minutes? 81 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.479 I'm sorry, Watson, and the lack of any satisfactory solution 82 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.520 to the problem of Lord Cranwood's death has driven me 83 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:52.639 almost out of my mind. 84 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.400 Find the problem insoluble and so far. 85 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.759 An inspector, Let's tribe, I've been expecting a call from you. 86 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.400 This thing's fair got me beat, mister Rones, Journal Inspector. 87 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:08.319 Can I get a drink? 88 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.439 Thank you doctor, I'll be glad of one.

My opinion are 93 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:24.959 thank you? Oh yes, miss Jones. 94 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.399 All the appearances of death were consistent with the bite 95 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.279 of some deadly snake. But did we find any snakes 96 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.360 running around? Were there any snake bites on the deceased body? 97 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:33.680 No? 98 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.000 While you yourself within a few yards of the man, miss Rones, 99 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:38.639 and you know as well as I do that if 100 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.600 a man gets bitten by a snake, he's going to 101 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:41.360 let out a year. 102 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.959 I know exactly how you'll feel, the tribe, and have you. 103 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.319 Seen the papers Scotland yard dappled by five thousand year 104 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.639 old curse death strikes again from Egyptian tomb. 105 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.319 You can't blame the journalists as tribe.

My 189 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.759 granduncle died of heart failure after the excitement of discovering 190 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.600 the tomb. Doctor Duma's death was certainly enough the first 191 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.679 case of sandstroke that's ever been heard of in Egypt, 192 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.639 and Wilson, who fell overboard from the ship, was notoriously 193 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:42.399 fond of the bottle. 194 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.559 Does that answer our question, the ingenious mister Robinson, But 195 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.360 it leaves out of the count to your uncle's death 196 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:48.679 in the British Museum the other day. 197 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.799 I could offer you a dozen theories to account for that, 198 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.480 but I doubt if they'd be sensational enough to please you, 199 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:54.320 mister Holmes. 200 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.000 Regardless what my cousin may say, and I know he'll 201 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.320 agree with my brother, I wish to engage you to 202 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.639 prevent any repetition of the prejudices which already. 203 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.000 Struck this family. 204 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:02.279 Do you say you will the towns. 205 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.720 I will do my best, mister Robinson, to keep Lord 206 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.440 Cranwood safe from harm, but without his cooperation I great 207 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:08.200 save here. 208 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.240 Simpson said he wanted to see me, Oliver, Oh, I 209 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.000 beg your pardon. I didn't know you had gees. 210 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:13.399 I very much want to see you, Derek. 211 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.720 This is mister Sherwock Holmes and doctor Watson, my cousin 212 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.720 Lord Cranwood. Gentlemen, I'm sorry gentlemen, I have no sympathy 213 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.639 with my brother's fears, or do I have seen a 214 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.840 necessity for dragging detectives into this matter. I trust you'll 215 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.440 excuse me good night. Well you see, mister Holmes, it's 216 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.039 just as I told you. 217 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.320 I do hope you'll do your best anyway, Mister Holmes, 218 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.320 I promise you I shall. 219 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.399 Your task won't be made any easier. Mister Holmes, wh 220 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.120 my cousin's stubbn't determination to continue working at the museum. 221 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.799 He's arranged Professor Halliday to work there at night in 222 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.759 the future, beginning tomorrow. He wishes to avoid the stairs 223 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.600 of the Curious. 224 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.759 Interesting Great Scott, my watch must have stopped nine thirteen, 225 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.159 and I haven't as yet fed my snakes. 226 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.639 Snakes do you say snakes? Why? 227 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.720 Yes, doctor, Since my affliction debars me from digging in 228 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:59.519 Egyptian tombs and similar active pastimes, I amuse myself for 229 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.600 the small her battalion. Would you care to see my collection? 230 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:03.039 Good? 231 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.919 Heavens know, or some other time perhaps, mister Robinson, Doctor 232 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:22.360 Watson and I must be off good snakes. 233 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.879 I must say, Holmes, that I find that sinister cripple 234 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.559 Neville and his nasty collection of poisonous reptiles. 235 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:30.440 Kind is suspicious, and there's. 236 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.039 No doubt that Neville's personality has been warped by his afflictions, 237 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.480 and the availability of snake venom is of course significant 238 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.120 of his motive. 239 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:37.639 Homes of it. 240 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.360 His motive, the Cranwood title and the Cranwood fortune. 241 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.000 There's one thing you've forgotten, Watson. Even if the new 242 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.600 Lord Cranwood were to die, it would be Nevill's older 243 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.480 brother who wouldn't headit. Oliver and his wife would become 244 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:49.679 Lord and Lady Cranwell, are. 245 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.679 You trying to tell me that a murderer who'd killed 246 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:53.240 two men would bubble at a third. 247 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.759 If Cranward dies an Oliver gets the title, he'd be 248 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.159 the last barrier Nevill's way. 249 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.399 I don't like to say at Holmes, but for once 250 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.240 you seem to be singly abcuse about the facts of. 251 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.080 This case, possibly, Watson, At any rate, I intend that 252 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.440 you and I shall be present, although concealed, when Lord 253 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.679 Cranwood visits the Egyptian Galleries tomorrow night. 254 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.360 You mean that you anticipate an attempt upon his. 255 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.000 Life, as I have told you on previous occasions, Watson, 256 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.679 it's a great mistake to puarize ahead of one's data. 257 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:18.679 So don't you do. 258 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.519 You don't really have put any faith in order to 259 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:26.639 talk about the supernatural curse, do you, Watson? Gosh, no, no, 260 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.600 of course not good. 261 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.480 Well then I trust that tomorrow night you will arm 262 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.639 yourself with your service about that. Yes, Watson, I should 263 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.559 like to be in readiness for anything when they encountered 264 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.080 the British Museum, supernatural or otherwise. 265 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:00.919 Your place at night? 266 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.080 Is it card humanity? Yeah? What do you mean that 267 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.759 the relics of the past are all about it? This 268 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.039 way through the northern vegetable. 269 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.799 I say, at homes, what's that thing? Looks like it's coffin? 270 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:21.759 That's what it is. It's good here, we are here, 271 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.360 no doubt. Work at that long table. It has the 272 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.840 only decent light in the room. And you take that 273 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.519 side of the table. Watsn't I'll take this. It makes 274 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:31.480 certain there's no one and nothing concealed. 275 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.679 You're you're you're not expecting to find a snake anywhere 276 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:37.320 are your homes? 277 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.120 I don't expect to find anything. I merely wished to 278 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.120 make certain that there is nothing to find the out 279 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.799 care for once knock over that little figure and the 280 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.000 Egyptians holders at the statues, the answerers, they are buried 281 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.320 in the cedar coffins within the Sarkata guy who accompany 282 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.159 the dead and to obury their orders. 283 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.720 There's an idea of myself. Well there's nothing hidden on 284 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:57.639 this side of the table. 285 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:04.039 Oh yeah, yeah, there's an excellent spot to conceal ourselves. 286 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.600 Oh here, what's that? 287 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.720 Great God, what a horrible sight. What sort of a 288 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:09.360 nightmare is that? 289 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.120 And appropriate? They're not?

I 293 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:37.559 don't know what summit coming Flodranco, because he's taking his 294 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.039 papers out of his briefcase. 295 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.360 Oh, now that he's turned the lamp up, that can 296 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:46.279 tell it better.

Men, 306 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.000 if you want to be a success in life, remember 307 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.120 that well groomed hair adds a great deal to a 308 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.039 man's appearance. And one of the first requisites of handsome, 309 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.519 healthy looking hair is the hygienic scalp. So start at 310 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.480 once and take better care of the hair you've got. 311 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.559 And if you are smart, you will use Kremmel hair tonic. 312 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.200 No other hair tonic keeps the hair more neatly in 313 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.879 place without looking or feeling greasy. But men, Crammel does 314 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.120 lots more than keep hair looking handsome. Kremmel's light oils 315 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.240 have a grand lubricating effect on a dry scalp. At 316 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.120 the same time, Cremmel removes itchy. 317 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.559 Loose dandrus. 318 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.200 Notice how alive and tingling your scalp feels. And you 319 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.320 like the massage Cremmel on your scalp because it's such 320 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:53.200 a clean product. 321 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.080 It never feels greasy or sticky. 322 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.960 And if your hair, like so many men's, is so 323 00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.879 dry that it breaks and falls when you comb it, 324 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.720 Cremol actually helps condition the hair in that it makes 325 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.000 it feel softer, more appliable, and look as if it 326 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.600 had somebody to it. So men for handsome, groomed hair 327 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.279 and a more hygienic scalp. Use Crammel daily by a 328 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.360 bottle of Cremel at any drug store, asked for an 329 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:18.080 application at your biber's k R E M L.
