WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.440 And now doctor Watson, back to Professor Moriarty and the 2 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:06.839 Adventure of the Serpent God. 3 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:08.400 Yes, mister Harris. 4 00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.279 It was lateish one May evening in the early nineteen hundreds. 5 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.000 I had been out on an emergency case and was 6 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.960 returning in the soft spring twilight. As I reached two 7 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.600 twenty one b Baker Street, I looked up to see 8 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.280 a light in the windows of our sitting room. Holmes's long, 9 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.000 lank silhouette was pacing back and forth in the lamplight. 10 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.560 From the nervous vitality of his movements, I gathered he 11 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:33.880 was working on a new case. 12 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.439 I let myself in the front door and bounded up 13 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:37.880 the steps. 14 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:46.560 U you what, doctor, who would I hurry upstairs? 15 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.560 Evening hall was what's up a case? 16 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:51.960 Watson? 17 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.399 I'm expecting word from on eachst client. Now, don't trouble 18 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:55.880 with your hat and gloves. From his note, I gather 19 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:57.079 he want us to go to him at once. 20 00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.280 Oh, then it's urgent. 21 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.320 I suspect it's more than urgent, Oneatson. 22 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.600 The stability of the empire may well depend on our 23 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.200 efforts to night or now, really, ho, I'm not exaggerating, Watson. 24 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.680 I leave that to you However, I don't think anyone 25 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.760 will underrate the unrest that's seething in India these days. 26 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:14.599 The slightest spark may set off an. 27 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.040 Explosion, granted, but how does that affect us? 28 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.319 As a matter of fact, my friend Hockey, you remember 29 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.159 young Well's heart rid of the Foreign Office. 30 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.760 Naturally, he's the one always looked as if he had 31 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:24.959 just followed his molecule. 32 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.280 Don't let that air of fatuous imbecility fool you, Watson, 33 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.079 hiding behind that simple facade is one of the most 34 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.879 alert brains in England, not counting my own, of course, 35 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.920 or conceit, that's why he's been assigned to the Maharaja. 36 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.480 He'll have his hands full. Those East Indian potentates are 37 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.519 a slippery lot. I wouldn't just run around a corner 38 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.000 with my second best stethoscope. 39 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.040 Prejudice, Watson, pure prejudice. 40 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.200 I met this one several years ago at the Royal 41 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.200 Garden party, rather decent sort. 42 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:52.560 We've corresponded ever since. 43 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.920 Home, Oh wonderful, you know everything in everybody tell me 44 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:57.799 about your Rajo? 45 00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.000 Which one is he? 46 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.640 He's the Maharaja of Vanjoram, a small warlike Muntain kingdom. 47 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:03.599 Of the north of India. 48 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:05.319 Sounds very familiar. 49 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.159 You've undoubtedly heard of the Banjoram stables. The Maharaja is 50 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.719 interested in race, horses and higher education. He leads a 51 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.360 rather quiet life in his villa outside of Paris, where 52 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.840 the famous professors from the Sorbonne come to give him 53 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.199 advanced lectures in private. 54 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:19.560 Sounds placid in. 55 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.240 Her quite His life, I may say, was completely serene 56 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.360 and uninteresting until his heir came to visit him. 57 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.199 Nothing abnormal about that. 58 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.000 Sons frequently upset the even tenor of their father's ways. 59 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.639 Rough, but Prince Jinner is not the Maharaja's son. He's 60 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.520 his half brother, different mothers and all that. 61 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:35.800 You know. 62 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.919 It wasn't until it became apparent that the Maharaja would 63 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.240 never have a son of his own that anyone took 64 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.759 any interest in this boy at all. I don't believe 65 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.520 the Maharaja and even met him until he sent for 66 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.840 him last autumn. He suddenly decided it was high time 67 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.039 the land became exposed to a British education. 68 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.759 A poor devil imagine being suddenly chucked into the midst 69 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.800 of an English public school after being hampered darling of. 70 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:02.319 A high cast Indian household. Maharaja of Banjoram has some sense, Watson. 71 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.439 He did not chuck him into a school, as you 72 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.360 so inelogately express it. He decided to break the boy 73 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.080 in with a good tutor. Upon explaining his position to 74 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.319 the Foreign Office, they decided the situation was sufficiently important 75 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.439 to assign young Wells heart Rider to the post. 76 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.879 As the Trigg is bent exactly. 77 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.719 The Maharaja of Banjoram has always been quite well disposed 78 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.960 toward our government. Unfortunately, that's more than can be sent 79 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.199 for some of the gentlemen who have managed to ease 80 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.439 their way into high positions in his country. 81 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.599 Rid the Maharaja and his young half brother get along 82 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:33.159 very well. 83 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.599 Indeed, that is until three weeks ago when hart Rider 84 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.360 and the young Prince had their first encounter with the 85 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.039 dark faced man with burning eyes. Shortly after tea time, 86 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.280 Haki and the Prince were just emerging from the strand 87 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.319 entrance of the Savoy Hotel, where they have a suite 88 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.199 of rooms. Suddenly, the strange, ragged looking man seized the Prince. 89 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.080 He pressed his forehead to the back of the boy's hand. 90 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.680 Salutations, O true son of the father of all lizards. 91 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.519 You followers await you. For you, the God will speak. 92 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.639 Do not fail him, Do not fail. 93 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:27.160 Who is that man? 94 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:27.480 You know? 95 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.920 I do not know, mister Hartwrider, But you saw his 96 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.240 eyes and his head. It moved from side to side 97 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.120 like a great snake. It's a better boy. You're trembling. 98 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.079 Your hands are as cold as eyes. 99 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.959 Your hand? What does that mark on the back of 100 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:43.399 your hand? 101 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.040 I it is the sign. 102 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.759 And I since then, Watson, the boy's been a nervous 103 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.040 wreck Herkrider says, he looks positively haunted. Then, the night 104 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.240 after the boy's encounter with a strange derelict, heart Rider 105 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:10.879 woke in the knight and found him missing. 106 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:11.199 From his bed. 107 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.959 Why not ask for police protection? Maharaja forbids it. Heart 108 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.279 Rider drew him the design he'd seen on the back 109 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.079 of the boy's hand. The Maharaja apparently recognized its significance, 110 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.279 but will tell Heartrider nothing. He says, calling in the 111 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.600 British authorities might very well cause another black hole of Calcutta. 112 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.959 Good Lord Holmes, then it is serious. 113 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.120 That might, Dear Watson, is the impression I've been trying 114 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.319 to convey for the last half hour. 115 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.959 Did the heart Rider's message. Explain what the symbol on 116 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.319 the boy's hand look like? 117 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.800 Yes, it's drawn here at the bottom of his letter, 118 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.360 simple bit of cacogra. 119 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.560 Faith looks rather like the eye part of the large 120 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:46.439 hook and eye. 121 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.920 It's not as innocent as that, Watson. It's the same 122 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.160 mark that appears on the hood of the king Cobra 123 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.000 in India. That's the symbol of the serpent God. Why jove, 124 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.279 I see what you mean, Holmes. 125 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.800 Then you think the boy baby mixed up in some 126 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.000 diabolical East India. 127 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.680 I fancy the mysteries even uglier than that. You remember 128 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.920 the description of the beggar who left the symbol on 129 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.839 the boy's hand, the burning eyes, the head that oscillated 130 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:11.279 slowly from side to side. 131 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.439 Good heavens, that could be a description of Professor Moriarty. 132 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.319 Oh, but you said his skin was dark. 133 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.120 There are many stains, Watson, that can be used to 134 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.040 color a man's skin. 135 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:21.800 But why they. 136 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.839 Waited to now to call you in on the case? 137 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.560 What makes you think heart Rider would be around tonight? 138 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.759 This little figurine, beautiful carve, isn't it? 139 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:31.560 Oh? 140 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.319 Fascinating bit of ugliness body of a man and the 141 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:38.759 head of a cobra the. 142 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:39.800 Cobra guard again. 143 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.040 It seems this carving was found on Prince Gina's bed 144 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.959 when he returned from his afternoon's walk. Heartwrider said the 145 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.560 boy fainted dead away when he saw it. 146 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.560 Sound sinister, Holmes. 147 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.800 Heartwrider told the Maharaja about the occurrence. Of course, the 148 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.680 Maharaja seems to think this figure some sort of summons. 149 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.639 He believes the boy will try to disappear again to night. Consequently, 150 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.680 Heart sending a cab for us as soon as the 151 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.240 boy retires, we're to pick him up at the embankment 152 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.639 exit of the Savoy.
