1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>And now doctor Watson, who was the unwelcome ambassador. This story,

2
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>mister Harris, goes back to the days before my marriage,

3
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>when Holmes and I shared two twenty one B Baker

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Street together. We were returning from Asara Sada recital at

5
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Saint James Hall. We were approaching our lodging in a hansom.

6
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>It was rather late in the evening. This is two

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty one bee driver, Driver, I say, this is two

8
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, d Holmes. He's passing it. He isn't stopping obusly.

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 1>But but how can you just just sit there and

10
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>do nothing? Whatsop? Driver? Hello? Up? Bear? Driver? Stop at once?

11
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 1>At once? I say, sorry. Can either he's kidnapping us

12
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>or he's insane? Both fascinating prospects Watson. So you suppose

13
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you will regain your composure?

14
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I aptual, you don't mind, Gunner, I was told you

15
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 2>let me see that anyway.

16
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you give you this? I what the devil have?

17
00:00:58.039 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Careful Gunner? Take assaults?

18
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>That's wrapped in that oil skin?

19
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Over up? Why don't you? Why didn't we see it?

20
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Greats come It's a precious stone, a ruby, yes, fabulously valuable,

21
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 1>My dear Watson, I should say from casual examination that

22
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>it's the very rarest type a pigeon's blood ruby, found

23
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 1>only in the moreduck Stone tract of Upper Burma. Of course,

24
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to be certain one will require instruments. Who gave this

25
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>to your driver? Oh?

26
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Please, Governor, you'll only confuse me. Now let me see. Now,

27
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm to say the rubies for you, mister Owns. It's

28
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>by way of an invitation to stay in the camp

29
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>and allow me to drive you to the ducks where

30
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>you're to board the good ship Java Bell.

31
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, well, i'd have none of it.

32
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh, if you'll allow me to finish, Governor, I have

33
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>to say, your safety aboard the Java Bell is guaranteed.

34
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just invite it for a bit of a check.

35
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh and who extends this curious invitation, met, Governor. I'm

36
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>not to say it's a trap, Hooms, I'm for commanding

37
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 1>and about face, not at all either. Our hostess a

38
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>gentleman of fantastic beings whose plight is so desperate that

39
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>he's been obliged to employ the rube to attract us

40
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 1>to his ship or else. He's a remarkably successful criminal,

41
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>and the ruby is a mere trinket in his bag

42
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>of loop. I anticipate making his acquaintance with reddish faster. Driver.

43
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>We'll play your master's day.

44
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Right up, danga, gentlemen, it's in the cabin.

45
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>What's hold it up on the mind deck? You see it?

46
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Thank you driver? Shall we go aboard? Watson? I say,

47
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>its sinister looking vessel, don't there's all the aspects of

48
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 1>a pilate ship. This would be our host, Kevin.

49
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Ah, mister Holmes and doctor Watson. You've accepted my invitation.

50
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm delighted be seated, won't you?

51
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Thank you? Eh? Was that I said? Thank you?

52
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Now?

53
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Sir? Beyond the fact that you've spent considerable time in

54
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the tropics, that you've been in London for six days,

55
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and that you're an exporter of spices, what information do

56
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you wish to impart? How on earth do you know

57
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>all that the shipping page of the Globe listed the

58
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Java bell is arriving six days ago, if I recall correctly,

59
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 1>out of Macau the Portuguese East Indies. As for your cargo,

60
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the odor of cinnamon aboard is inescapable, and it's clear

61
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 1>that you've been in the tropics for some time because

62
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 1>you suffer from a slight defect in your hearing, symptomatic

63
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 1>of prolonged use of quinine.

64
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 3>You're quite right, mister Holmes. I do come from Macow.

65
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 3>It is on the South China Sea, separated from China

66
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 3>proper by an ancient wall. There you may see Maharajas

67
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 3>of Inn and dual Countesses of France mingling in his

68
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 3>twisted streets with riff references come from a hundred pots.

69
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 3>It is the most lawless city on earth.

70
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>It's a legend. I imagine your problem concerns Macau, it does, sir.

71
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 3>My problem concerns the newly arrived ambassador to England from Macau,

72
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Senor RUI.

73
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, what of him, mister mister Edwards Watson. The Globe

74
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>was also conscientious enough to list the owner of the

75
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Joba bell.

76
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Mister Holmes, the ambassador is about to be murdered.

77
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>What oh, how do you know? There is a delicate.

78
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Political situation in Macau, doctor Watson. Fanatic extremists would benefit

79
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 3>greatly if the ambassador were to die. I have heard

80
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 3>rumors that they have despatched emissaries here to London to

81
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 3>carry out the unpleasant.

82
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Task you've sent for me, to prevent the crime exactly.

83
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 3>If the Ambassador should die, there would be an upheaval

84
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 3>in the Indies. I should lose control of my export business,

85
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 3>an immeasurable loss. You may consider that Ruby a gesture

86
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 3>on my part. Homes, keep it with my compliments, and besides,

87
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 3>you may name your own fiend.

88
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I have but one proviso, pray continue.

89
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 3>Our understanding must be absolutely confidential. That's why I had

90
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 3>you brought here. I did not want to be seen

91
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 3>entering your flat. It would add to the unfortunate rumors

92
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 3>already circulating in London about the ambassador.

93
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Are you personally acquainted with him?

94
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>If we've met social occasions tea in Hong Kong, military

95
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 3>ball and salon, that sort of thing. What is his

96
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 3>address to Lancaster Gate?

97
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Ah? Does the Embassador know of the threat to his life?

98
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 3>Certainly, but he refuses a bodyguard a deeply ingrained sense

99
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 3>of oriental fatalism.

100
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>When did you not see him? It's been months three

101
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.879
<v Speaker 1>at least, uh, I take it.

102
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 3>If you'll accept the case, Homes, definitely, then if and

103
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 3>when you discover the would be killer, please turn him

104
00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 3>over to Scotland Yard.

105
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Before his identity to me.

106
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 3>By jove, that's a strange request, Doctor Watson. I feel

107
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 3>a man who would deprive me of my industrial empire

108
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 3>should suffer, But I want him to suffer legally if

109
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 3>he were to fall into my hands personally, I well,

110
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 3>I am a collector of strange oriental objects. Some of

111
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.399
<v Speaker 3>them include torture devices beyond western man's imagination. I could

112
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>not resist using.

113
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Now, my dear Watson, I shall have a pipe and consider. Oh, dear,

114
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>visitors of this are welcome, visitors Watson. If they arrive

115
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>at this later, it must be on an intriguing mission.

116
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I will remind me to and to mister Edwards in

117
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>my index Edwards, I don't care for that man, Holmes.

118
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>The ship bespeaks the man you know, and the Java

119
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 1>bell is a saucy, wicked lady of the sea. Come in,

120
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>mister Holmes, let me tell him Philip. Mister easy, my

121
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>dear girl. Easy. Suppose we begin with a proper introductions.

122
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>We're desperate, we can't wait. This is my friend and colleague,

123
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Dr Watson. How do you do, mister Holmes, My dear

124
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.879
<v Speaker 1>young lady, if you'll remove your cape, the mud on

125
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 1>it's tripping to the floor and missus Hudson, our housekeeper

126
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>will be furious in the morning. You mustn't lose a second.

127
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 1>Your coats are in the same deplorable condition as the

128
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>young ladies. Very will.

129
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm Philip Randall. This is Edith not I'm secretary to

130
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Ambassador with from macau Uh. Edith and I were out

131
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 4>of the evening where the theater. Then we decided to

132
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 4>walk to her place through Regent's Park. We were by

133
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 4>the lake.

134
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 5>And we saw a body floating in a lake.

135
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>It was horrible.

136
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 4>I recognized the face of the corpse. It was the ambassador.

137
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 4>I refused to send for the police.

138
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 5>Philips have prayed the ambassador's death will create international complications.

139
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 5>He didn't think we could persuade Scotland Yard to keep.

140
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>The awful news a secret.

141
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 4>The body was floating close to the edge of the lake.

142
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 4>I could reach it. We pulled it on shore.

143
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>We hailed a cab.

144
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 5>Philip bribed the cabby to keep his mouth shut. We

145
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 5>managed to place the dead body in the.

146
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Handsom oh, where is the corpse now? Propped up in

147
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 1>the cab right outside this door? Good heaven? How very crude?

148
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

149
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Fetch him inside? It's rather chilly to night, and we

150
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>have a nice warm fire here, Watson, give young Randal

151
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 1>a hand. Bring the late Ambassador in here where I

152
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>may have a look at him. Come along, Randall. We

153
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>took a manage, but Terry, you can't just leave him there.

154
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:38.399
<v Speaker 5>I must apologize for my disheveled appearance, mister Holmes. May

155
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 5>I removed my hat and straightened my hair.

156
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Certainly? Did you know the late ambassador, Miss.

157
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 5>Norton, Yes, I've been out with him a few times.

158
00:08:49.159 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>What's he fun? W yes? Terribly, very propose. Oh no, oh,

159
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>you have a piece of confetti in your hair here,

160
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>that's it, and a speck of mud on your neck.

161
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>That's better. How did you regard the ambassador? Why? I

162
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 1>adored one?

163
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 5>He was a darling.

164
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Does young Randall stand a prophet by his employer's death?

165
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, I I don't want to place Philip in a

166
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 5>difficult position. But there was talk that the Ambassador was

167
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 5>somehow preventing Philip from receiving a vital diplomatic post.

168
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.679
<v Speaker 1>According to the social columns, Miss Norton, which I read

169
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 1>solely to remain occuron and with extreme distaste, the late

170
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Ambassador was not your soul darling.

171
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.080
<v Speaker 5>Mister Holmes, the girl cannot be popular without having you.

172
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Here's the body, easy, Randall, place the ambassador in my armchair.

173
00:09:51.600 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>It's most comfortable. Has it handsome? Wasn't he a really Holmes?

174
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>You'r mecabrel sense of bullet wound in his back? He

175
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>was shot then pushed into the lake, Watson. The bullet

176
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>wounded entrance is at the sixth left intercostal space path

177
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>of the bullet A bleak downward, mister Holmes. What shall

178
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>we do? Since it's extremely late? Miss Norton, if I

179
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>were you, and I asked my escort to see me home.

180
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 1>But the body, our lodging is not what I would

181
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>turn extravagantly commodious. But I believe we can accommodate the

182
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>cadavera as a guest temporally.

183
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 4>Shall we come tomorrow?

184
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>How will we know it? You must be exhausted, Miss Norton.

185
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Good night. Good night, mister Randall, good night. Well I

186
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>must say you might have handled the two youngsters with

187
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>less effrontery. Home. We haven't time for the amenities. Rand

188
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I beg your pardon night. Did you forget something?

189
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>No?

190
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>He has gone downstairs.

191
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 6>I just took back because I Well, I have a suggestion.

192
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 4>It's about a man named Jack Scene, and why are

193
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 4>you telling us about him? He knew the ambassador quite well.

194
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 4>He's an incredible chatter mixture of Chinese melee British. He

195
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.039
<v Speaker 4>spent a good deal of time in Macau at the

196
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 4>gambling tables.

197
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Where is this sing? In Limehouse?

198
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 4>He operates a gambling spot there. There was talk of

199
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 4>a wager he'd made on the mathematical chances of the

200
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 4>ambassadors being assassinated. You you might look into it, mister Holmes, Well,

201
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 4>I mus.

202
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Run good night. Hmm. Now why would young Randall want

203
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 1>to keep miss Norton from hearing there? You're wasting time

204
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 1>in idle speculation, Watson. Perhaps, Holmes, why are you putting

205
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 1>on your coats because we're off to Limehouse? Watson, I

206
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>must meet this gentleman who had quits mathematics with depth, Well,

207
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson, Jack Sing sounds like a very intriguing suspect.

208
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.639
<v Speaker 1>There should be a wealth of clothes in visiting him

209
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>in Limehouse? Should there? Mister Harris, Well, I may be

210
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 1>wrong about it, of course I'm always right about another subject. Though,

211
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 1>from that sparkle in your eye as I deduced that

212
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you're about to discuss your favorite subject and the favorite

213
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of mine too, Clippercraft's clothes. That's right, doctor Watson. There's

214
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>no mystery about this country's most sensational clothing value. You see,

215
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 1>there's a great, big American idea behind Clippercraft, the famous

216
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Clippercraft Plan. Now, this plan gives you the benefit of

240
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.799
<v Speaker 1>And now should we return to our sterios? Theres oh

241
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>by all means doctor Watson very well. Holmes and I

242
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>dashed into a hansom and soon reached Limehouse. The streets

243
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>were too crowded for a horse and carriage, so we

244
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 1>were obliged to go the last portion of the way

245
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that Jack sings gambling establishment on foot. I say, Holmes,

246
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 1>what sort of celebration is this Limehouse? Is celebrating the

247
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Chinese New Year. What's this? Confetti gets all over one's

248
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>clothes and plastic noise is deafening. It's escaping in the moment. Hah.

249
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Here's the building that houses Jack Sings gambling establishment. Yes,

250
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 1>so it is, and lord knows what will become of

251
00:14:41.679 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 1>us in there, probably swarming with criminals and murderers. I

252
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>regret the necessity of disturbing your game, mister Singh.

253
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Not at all, mister Holmes. I am delighted that you

254
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 2>have brought the news of the ambassador's death. It is

255
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 2>magnificent news, and.

256
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I must confess, mister Singh, you have a curious attitude,

257
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 1>not even a trace of regret.

258
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Not to Watson, my interest in the ambassador was purely professional.

259
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.159
<v Speaker 1>What was the nature of the wager you made regarding

260
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>his death?

261
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.720
<v Speaker 2>I heard rumors that fanatics were planning to kill him,

262
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.440
<v Speaker 2>so I took a chance. I have waged on the

263
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>turn of a card. Why should I not wage on

264
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>a twist of fate. I visited Lloyd's.

265
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, and you purchased assassination insurance. I venture to say,

266
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.799
<v Speaker 1>exactly what on earth is assassination insurance? The policy of Lloyd's,

267
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>My dear Watson. The original policy was issued on the

268
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 1>life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Lloyd's underwrites the sudden death of

269
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>any illustrious person as a protection to businessmen who might

270
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 1>suffer substantial losses.

271
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I paid the premium on the life of the Ambassador.

272
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Now he is dead.

273
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.399
<v Speaker 2>I have one another wager. I have again guessed the

274
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 2>correct number on the wheel.

275
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>From your highly pleased demeanor, mister Singh, I should say

276
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you've won a gigantic sum I have. I am quite

277
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>frank about it, mister Singh. When did you last see

278
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the ambassador ten days ago? Thank you? I had no

279
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 1>further questions. Good night, gentlemen. You may use that side

280
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>door going out really good by this scene, the two

281
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.399
<v Speaker 1>now homes to the ambassador's residence. But young Randall said

282
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.559
<v Speaker 1>the place is deserted. There won't be a soul there,

283
00:16:45.080 --> 00:17:06.319
<v Speaker 1>precisely why we should pay to visit. Watson. Randall told

284
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you no one's at home here at the ambassador's homes.

285
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Then we are obliged to enter the Ambassador's home in

286
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>an orthodox fashion. Watson, And how might that be the window?

287
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 1>These absurd English window fasteners won't delay us. This way,

288
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Shall we try this window? Superb opens in a jiffy.

289
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Up she goes after me. Watson leap over the sill.

290
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:46.880
<v Speaker 1>So ido, oh, I wish.

291
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:51.799
<v Speaker 6>To see the ambassador's study first, This way, Watson to know. Sorry,

292
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:06.599
<v Speaker 6>this is the study. Here is the ambassador's desk, his

293
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.440
<v Speaker 6>papers like that small ramp Watsons Wait.

294
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Hosh, I guess uh huh.

295
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.799
<v Speaker 6>The late diplomat has another visitor at the front door.

296
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>What could it be?

297
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 6>Step behind his clothes? Horse with me.

298
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:35.599
<v Speaker 8>Good, I I can see the front door. Someone stepped in,

299
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:41.200
<v Speaker 8>tall thin chap he's sliding a can wait a minute.

300
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 8>He's holding the candle toward his face. White Yong Randall

301
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:46.559
<v Speaker 8>White Watson.

302
00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I have already examined those papers, Randal, you'll find the

303
00:18:59.200 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>rather dull.

304
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.480
<v Speaker 4>Shall I send for the police. Oh no, no, don't

305
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.640
<v Speaker 4>do that, please, Really, I haven't done anything. I just

306
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Speaker 4>came back to You were the ambassador's secretary. Therefore you

307
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 4>made use of your pass key to return and have

308
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.279
<v Speaker 4>a look at his private papers. Papers he undoubtedly never

309
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 4>allowed you to see. Yes, I was hoping to find

310
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:14.960
<v Speaker 4>out who killed him.

311
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 1>On my arm. I found it. Man, It appears to

312
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 1>me as though you killed it. But I didn't. I

313
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>tell you. Why don't you ask Edwards who killed him? Oh? No,

314
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't avoid suspicion by accusing someone else.

315
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 4>I told you all I know Edith Norton, and I

316
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.960
<v Speaker 4>found the body in Regent's Park Lake. I had not

317
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.839
<v Speaker 4>seen the ambassador for a week. He had taken a

318
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 4>week to relax Edith told me that she had not

319
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 4>seen him in a few days ourselves.

320
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.440
<v Speaker 1>A few days? Yes, are you quite certain? Miss Norton

321
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>stated she had not seen the ambassador for a few days.

322
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Quite two days? She said, Watson, have you your army

323
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.119
<v Speaker 1>of barber Yes, you'll have need of it. Where are

324
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 1>we off to? Now? Back to Limehouse. The pieces of

325
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the puzzle fit together neatly, but we must hurry. If

326
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:51.400
<v Speaker 1>we're too late, Jack Singh will have killed Edith.

327
00:19:51.440 --> 00:20:00.279
<v Speaker 7>Not ah.

328
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 1>I hope by now the Chinese would have finish celebrating

329
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:11.880
<v Speaker 1>a new year. You think we'll get through this crowd

330
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 1>in time? Homes, we must Watson, that poor girl will

331
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 1>be dead. We should be to blame this corner. It's

332
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.039
<v Speaker 1>not fun. Now go abready, Yes, ready, Holmes, I keep

333
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.680
<v Speaker 1>up with you. But the old homes ghoma, my leg.

334
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 1>This is the side entrance. Someone is purposely not answering.

335
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Knock again, Holmes, Open open, I say open, I we

336
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:51.680
<v Speaker 1>shall shoot the lock off. Holmes. Yes, mister singh, good evening,

337
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Miss Norton singing. I'm obliged to detain you with this

338
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.200
<v Speaker 1>revolver until we fetch the police to charge you with

339
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the murder of the ambassador. Oh not quite, Watson. Actually

340
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the ambassador was killed by you, Miss Norton. Whystress on, Holmes,

341
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.200
<v Speaker 1>When you first arrived at Baker Street, Miss Norton, there

342
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.720
<v Speaker 1>was almost imperceptible bit of confetti in your hair.

343
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 3>What of it?

344
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Exactly? The question occurred to me. Of course I had

345
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>the answer when I first visited Limehouse tonight. The Chinese

346
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>have filled the air with confetti, you remarked about it, Watson.

347
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Therefore I knew Miss Norton must have been in Limehouse

348
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>earlier this evening, before her engagement with young Randall, since

349
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:34.319
<v Speaker 1>he said they'd only attended the theater, and so you knew, Holmes,

350
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.319
<v Speaker 1>that she was in this with mister Seine. That doesn't

351
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.400
<v Speaker 1>prove that I killed the ambassador. Patience, dear girl. Everyone

352
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>who could have done away with the Ambassador said they

353
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 1>hadn't seen him in at least a week in one case,

354
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.559
<v Speaker 1>not for three months. But you claimed to have seen

355
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 1>him just two days ago, Miss Norton, I did. That's

356
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:54.319
<v Speaker 1>not the truth. It's utterly impossible for you to have

357
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:57.119
<v Speaker 1>seen the Ambassador alive in the past forty eight hours.

358
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I believe doctor Watson will support the authenticity of my

359
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 1>medical information. In this instance, the Ambassador's body was found

360
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>floating in Regent's Park Lake, and it requires a minimum

361
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.880
<v Speaker 1>of five days in the water for a human body

362
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.400
<v Speaker 1>to become sufficiently boyant to float.

363
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 2>You have we will collect a great deal from Lloyd's,

364
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 2>mister Holmes, if you would forget this.

365
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.839
<v Speaker 1>You might oh yes, and you, mister Singe, you purchased

366
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a weighted premium guaranteeing the Ambassador's life, but you wanted

367
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to wag it to be a certainty. You could not

368
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.640
<v Speaker 1>commit the crime yourself. You required the services of someone

369
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.599
<v Speaker 1>familiar with the Ambassador's habits here in London, someone who

370
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>knew him intimately, who would be with him alone and often.

371
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So you made arrangements with Miss Norton, a ruthlessly ambitious

372
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 1>young lady who strippen desperately to marry into wealth five

373
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.079
<v Speaker 1>or Thannh. I heard it here because I realized that

374
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.799
<v Speaker 1>now that the money is forthcoming, mister Singh might decide

375
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.839
<v Speaker 1>to do away with you, dear girl. Why should he

376
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 1>share it? Now the work is done. Keep your hand

377
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:57.279
<v Speaker 1>out of that draw mis to sing don't reach for

378
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 1>your gun worthy marksmanship, Watson merely a shoulder woman, mister Singe,

379
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Try not to look as though you'd been mortally wounded

380
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you too, Miss Norton. That expression of despair is most unbecoming.

381
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I suggest you save your melodramatic performances. Scotland Yard will

382
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.200
<v Speaker 1>provide the perfect stage for them soon enough, with the

383
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:26.279
<v Speaker 1>well constructed gallows. Oh, I did forget A happy new Yeah,

384
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 1>mister sing A happy new Year, Miss Norton. Well, doctor Watson.

385
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 1>The case of the Unwelcome Ambassador was very intriguing. Now

386
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.640
<v Speaker 1>may we have advanced information about next week's adventure? As

387
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the herrs I've called it. The Black Guardsman of Breddock

388
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Castle hm hm. I can see him now standing on

389
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 1>the north tower of a castle, black against the red sun,

390
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:14.240
<v Speaker 1>an axe on his shoulder, looking down and laughing at

391
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>his work. For what work? Murder? Mister Harris murder Well,

392
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:23.599
<v Speaker 1>we shall certainly be knocking at the door of your

393
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 1>study next week, doctor Watson, to see the Black guardsman

394
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:28.039
<v Speaker 1>at work.
