The killer smeared the fist with a 285 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:49.399 blood of his victim to heighten the terror. 286 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.200 Mister Holmes, this is a terrible tragedy, terrible. 287 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:53.919 There must be some course we can. 288 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.000 Take, quite doctor Porsye, we can begin where logic dictates, 289 00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.840 with a stone coffin and the mummy of her Majesty. 290 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:07.320 The Queen.

Look closely at that portion of bandage 307 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:58.200 just over the heart.

Precisely then, 371 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:16.599 for some reasons returning to Egypt post Hanes on. 372 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.440 The countrary, My dear fellow, this happens to be the 373 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.960 timetable of the liner Catania. And the container leaves Liverpool 374 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.240 tomorrow at noon for America. 375 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.400 For America hose station. All this doesn't make sense. 376 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:27.799 It makes very good sense, Watson. 377 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.240 The intentions and activities of his excellency are met by 378 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:30.799 a crystal. 379 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.480 Care to me now, I ah, but this is only 380 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:35.680 a towel fill over the bed. 381 00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.559 Use your eyes, man, obsertlessly. You'll see this brown and 382 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.000 sticky stain on the corner of this towel, hose. 383 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:42.240 I see it now, and what is it? 384 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.000 That stain? 385 00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:46.160 Happens to be resin white. And it may interest you 386 00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:49.519 to know, Watson, that mummies and the nineteenth Egyptian dynasty 387 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:51.759 were embalmed in a coat of resin before they were 388 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.160 bandaged in order to preserve them. I should be very 389 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:56.359 happy to resolve this entire adventure. For you, Watson, or 390 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.559 at least partially on our way to the British Museum. 391 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:00.559 It's there I think that we should see the end 392 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.160 of this blood drenched affair. 393 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.359 Well, you know, Holmes, at this moment, I'm completely babbled. 394 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.599 I see no connection between these veries of visions. 395 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:18.319 Then let me enlighten you Watson. 396 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.000 First, his excellency Armed Bay is a member of the 397 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.680 Secret Society of the Sun. But now let's reconstruct Watson. 398 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.000 Note that Armed Bay insisted on staying close to the 399 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.119 Mummy on its trip to England. It's reasonable to suppose 400 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.480 then that Armed could have thrown smife overboard, but subsequent 401 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:36.119
