1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:03.319
<v Speaker 1>And how to return to the avenging Blade, the attempted

2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>murder and the Equestrian statue.

3
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Watson.

4
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's the famous statue of Charles the First stands

5
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.000
<v Speaker 3>in Charing Cross, which, as you know, is often called

6
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 3>the center of London.

7
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Charing Cross.

8
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that the open space to the south of the

9
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Falcon Square, doctor Watson.

10
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 4>Correct, mister Harris. But to begin at the beginning.

11
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 3>It is one of those clear red days in late

12
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.120
<v Speaker 3>January which now and then surprised the city of London.

13
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 3>The sky was a brilliant blue, and the light powdery

14
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 3>fall of snow reflected the dazzling sunlight outside.

15
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Holmes was lounging.

16
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 3>On the sofa in a brilliant purple dressing gown, his

17
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 3>pipe rack within his reach, ashes scattered on the floor,

18
00:00:44.520 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 3>and the couple morning papers littering the room in all directions,

19
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>My dear Holmes, no one could accuse you of being

20
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 3>a tidy man.

21
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Only in my head, Watson. My brain houses what is

22
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>probably the most accurate and complete collection of information in

23
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>all of England, if not in the entire world, and

24
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>it's all in meticulous and precise order. Conceit not at

25
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>all Watson, merely accuracy. But of what use are my

26
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 2>unequal mental abilities? For months there's been no crime worthy

27
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>of my attention, no case with any originality, any imagination.

28
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 3>Or wouldn't say that you found the shop of Bagdad's

29
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 3>missing emerald. You outwitted the band of nihilists who were

30
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 3>threatening to blow up both houses of Parliament.

31
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Commonplace strictly routine investigations.

32
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh there's up on door bell. Maybe it's a case.

33
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Look out of the window, Watson, see who's on the doorstep.

34
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a good chap.

35
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 4>Pity, wouldn't bestir yourself? Now? Then? Tallish man dressed in

36
00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 4>Highland regalia, bonnet, gilts even various Scottish dirt is stocky.

37
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Hmm, rather drafty attire for a day like this. By

38
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the way, Watson, what day is it?

39
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Wednesday?

40
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 5>Of course?

41
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean what day of the month.

42
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 4>Let me see, thirtieth I believe, well near least according

43
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 4>to the time as it is.

44
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think we may grant that that is one

45
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>subject on which the Times is fairly accurate. The thirtieth

46
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 2>of January. Of course, it's the anniversary of the beheading

47
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>of Charles the First, So that's why he's done his kilts.

48
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Missus hudsony is slow answering the door this morning.

49
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 4>He's looking up here, read Scott Holmes. It's the Duke

50
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 4>of Buckinghurst.

51
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>I suspected as much heaven.

52
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 4>Say, don't just sit there. Homes have been a tidy

53
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 4>and tidy of this clutter. Oh what sort of an

54
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 4>impression you expect him makes?

55
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Sprawl there in the midst of all this mess, My

56
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 2>dear Watson, if his lordship has a case sufficiently important

57
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 2>to warrant my attention, he'll be in no mood to

58
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>notice trifles. If not, I'm not interested in his lordship.

59
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm not impressed by titles, Watson. They're so apt to

60
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 2>due to the chance of heredity, like red hair or

61
00:02:59.199 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>a Roman nose.

62
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 3>At least you might stake me your collar. Oh, come in,

63
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>our Lord Buckinghurst. This is an honor.

64
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Won't you sit down? Thank you? No, no, no, no, not

65
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 4>bad chair.

66
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I think you'll find this one more comfitable. May I

67
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 3>relieve you of your Bonnard? Would you like to talk

68
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 3>of Brandy Watson? If you'll stop playing the palpitating hostess.

69
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Lord Buckinghurst might like to explain why he's called to

70
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 3>consult me.

71
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, mister Holmes. It's all so fantastic. I really

72
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 6>don't know where to begin. If I had received this

73
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 6>note at any other time, I had to put it

74
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 6>down to some poor, demented halfwit. Persons in my position,

75
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 6>mister Holmes, are unfortunately the recipients of a great many

76
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 6>curious communications, everything from begging letters to blackmail.

77
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing fantastic about blackmail in your position, Lord Buckinghurst. Consequently,

78
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 2>that is not the gist of the letter that brought

79
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>you here, Good Lord.

80
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 6>No, it's so will it's incredible. I hardly know how

81
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 6>to describe it.

82
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Suppose you allow me to view the letter and judge

83
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>for myself.

84
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 6>That would be the most sensible procedure. I suppose here

85
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 6>you are, mister Holmes.

86
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Hmm, paper an excellent quality, an educated script, half English,

87
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 2>half Continental. Notice the final essays Watson.

88
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Eh, well, yes, we're to blaze it with the essays.

89
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 3>What does it say?

90
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 2>You must pardon my friend's lack of restraint, Lord Buckinghurst.

91
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 2>He will never realize that the writing, paper and general

92
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>appearance of the letter often give me more information about

93
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>the sender than the contents of the message.

94
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 6>I think you will agree that the contents of this

95
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 6>letter is of no small interests mister Holmes.

96
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes, let's see to the late Duke of Buckinghurst.

97
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 7>Hmm.

98
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Interesting they wear the blade of the Martyr King.

99
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Brief that bewildering eharlt not.

100
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Entirely, Lord Buckinghurst, you are, if I am not mistaken,

101
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>descended from the Duke of Buckinghurst, who is the favorite

102
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 2>and boon companion of the ill fated Charles.

103
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 6>The Third correct, mister Holmes, as the eldest of my family.

104
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 6>It thus evolves upon me to attend the memorial services

105
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 6>which are held every thirtieth of January by the Royal

106
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 6>Martyr Society, and place a commemorative wreath on the pedestal of.

107
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 2>The statue designed if I am not mistaken by Grinling Gibbons.

108
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 6>Really, I had no idea. It's not so old as

109
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 6>the statue.

110
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 2>I believe that the pedestal I mean quite tell me,

111
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Lord Buckinghurst. Does this expression the blade of the Martyr

112
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 2>King have any particular significance to you?

113
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 4>Ay?

114
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 6>Yes and no. I presume it refers to the ancient

115
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 6>superstition which concerns the sword in the statue's hand, which

116
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 6>is It seems that after the monarchy was restored, Charles

117
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 6>the Second witnessed the execution of Thomas Harrison and the

118
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 6>other regicides at Charing Cross. After the bloody event was

119
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 6>over and his predecessor had been avenged, he made a

120
00:05:49.240 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 6>proclamation to his followers, you have.

121
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 8>Witnessed the fate which befalls those who dare to turn

122
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 8>against the Crown, And so that you shall be reminded thereof,

123
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 8>I hereby decree that on this spot shall be erected

124
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 8>the statue of my martyred ancestor Charles, and to his

125
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 8>hand shall be restored the sword which he carried at

126
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 8>Marsden Moor and Naseby, and which was taken from him

127
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 8>by the Scottish friends who foully betrayed him to his enemies.

128
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.199
<v Speaker 8>If any man dare henceforth to plot against the Crown,

129
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 8>let him beware. That's all.

130
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 6>They say, mister Holmes, that when a traitor to the

131
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 6>crown approaches the statue, the sword trembles and cries out

132
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 6>for a vengeance.

133
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>How is that supposed to affect you, Lord Buckinghurs.

134
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 3>Unless if I know, and yet someone obviously wants you

135
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 3>to believe that if you attend this sentimentute a day,

136
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 3>there will be a catastrophe of some sort, as you

137
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 3>might not just saying word you have a bad cold

138
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 3>and can't attend. As a medical man, I'd be more

139
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 3>than glad to vouch for your indisposition.

140
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 6>Never, whoever wrote that note doesn't know me very well.

141
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 6>If he thinks he can scare me off by any

142
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 6>such hocus pocus, or.

143
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 2>He may know you very well, Tell me not, Buckinghurst.

144
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>If you should be incapacitated on any of these occasions,

145
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.199
<v Speaker 2>who would be called on to place the wreef on

146
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the pedestal?

147
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 8>My heir?

148
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 4>Of course, you have a son hold enough to represent you.

149
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 6>No, doctor Watson. I allude to my brother James. I

150
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.920
<v Speaker 6>am a bachelor and have no children. If anything should

151
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 6>happen to me, my brother inherits the title.

152
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 2>By any chance, Lord Buckinghurst. Was your brother educated in France?

153
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 6>Why yes, mister Holmes, he attended the Sorbonne. It was

154
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 6>while he was studying in Paris that he met Claire,

155
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 6>his wife. Oh, I see what you're driving at. You

156
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 6>think James may have written that note hoping to keep

157
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 6>me at home, So he would have the lime light

158
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.519
<v Speaker 6>in to day's celebration. No, in the first place, my

159
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 6>brother knows me too well for that, And in the

160
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.519
<v Speaker 6>second place, he is insufferably shy. He'd die of stage

161
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.320
<v Speaker 6>right if he had to make a public appearance of

162
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 6>any sort.

163
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>But he will attend the ceremony.

164
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 6>Oh yes, mister Holmes. The entire family will be there.

165
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>HM should be a rather color affair. What do you

166
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 2>say were your company? Lord Buckinghurst? Watson with pleasure?

167
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 4>And I promise you, sir, that whatever the danger is

168
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 4>that threatens you, you'll be quite safe with Sherlock Holmes along.

169
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 6>Don't be fatuous. Why do you think I dropped in

170
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 6>this morning? But we'd be better be getting along. The

171
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 6>program begins in half an hour.

172
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:19.600
<v Speaker 2>There's no hurry. We have plenty of time for a

173
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 2>stirrup camp Scotch, I believe would be appropriate to the occasion.

174
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 6>I take my advice and drink it meat. Those breezes

175
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:32.000
<v Speaker 6>round Cherring Cross a very brash this time of year.

176
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 4>Shall I get the bottle herds?

177
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>No, Watson, I'll do the honors. You might fetch my greatcoat, however,

178
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>and your service revolver.

179
00:09:40.759 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 9>That's a good chap Right.

180
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know whether you know it, Lord Buckinghurst, but

181
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>the Statue of Charles the First you are about to

182
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 2>decorate as a rather ironic history. Really, it was cast

183
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 2>in sixteen thirty three by Hubert L. Cur a pupil

184
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 2>of Giovanni Bologna, that had not yet been erected when

185
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the Civil War broke out and the First Charles was

186
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.879
<v Speaker 2>deposed and beheaded. It was subsequently sold by Parliament to

187
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 2>a brazier for the name of Rivet.

188
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 4>Rivet appropriate cognial minails.

189
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Only to rupt Watson. Mister Rivett was ordered to melt

190
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the statue down.

191
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 4>Rang vandalism less the trouble with people always wanted to

192
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.519
<v Speaker 4>destroy someone else's handywork.

193
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Calm yourself once, and remember the statue does stand in

194
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Charing Cross today.

195
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 4>The old man Rivet didn't destroy this anything.

196
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.600
<v Speaker 2>He announced that he'd done just that, and for years

197
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 2>he made a tidy living out of selling fragments of

198
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.840
<v Speaker 2>metal as souvenirs to both cavaliers and roundheads. However, when

199
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the restoration came along, he sold the statue back to

200
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>the government at a neat profit. It was subsequently erected

201
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>on the spot where it now stands the old scoundrel.

202
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 4>I say, Old bucking Hurst, you look a bit glassy eyed.

203
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 4>Don't you feel that it's hit that for effect?

204
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I do feel a bit squeamish still the motion.

205
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 6>That's a handsome cab. Never had it affect me this

206
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 6>way before.

207
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Old Tyke. When they're there, just turning into Trafougar Square.

208
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes, look, Holmes, there's the statue up ahead. Quite a

209
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>group of people gathered around, lots of wearing kilts, and

210
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 3>there are bagpipers. I do enjoy a highland air on

211
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 3>the doodle sack.

212
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:39.919
<v Speaker 10>You know.

213
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Here we are, Lord Buckinghurst. Good, get me out of here.

214
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 11>You all right?

215
00:11:51.200 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 6>When I get my feet on terra firma.

216
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh there you are, Robert. We thought you would never

217
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.200
<v Speaker 4>get here.

218
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 12>They'd been waiting nearly half an hour to begin the ceremony.

219
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.519
<v Speaker 12>The pipers have brown themselves practically out of break.

220
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Keeping the crowd entertain.

221
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 6>Sorry, Claire, my dear, may I present mister Sherlock Holmes

222
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 6>and doctor Watson. Gentlemen. This is my brother James and

223
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 6>his wife.

224
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 4>How do you do?

225
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>How do you do?

226
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 12>This is mister Sherlock Holmes, the detective. Quite delightfully excited.

227
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.840
<v Speaker 12>But Robert, why a detective at a time like this?

228
00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 12>Just a precaution, precaution, precausion against what? Do not tell

229
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 12>me there is something of which my brother in law,

230
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.720
<v Speaker 12>the Indomitable Duke of Buckinghurst, is afraid.

231
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 8>You do look a bit wonky, Robert, Is there anything

232
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 8>wrong affected?

233
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 6>I do feel that traful under the weather. There that

234
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 6>fin and haady a head for breakfast must have upset me.

235
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 4>James.

236
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.000
<v Speaker 6>If I should have to retire suddenly, you take over

237
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 6>When it comes time to place the wreath.

238
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 8>Oh but I I couldn't.

239
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.679
<v Speaker 2>I I couldn't really why not?

240
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 4>Everyone would be looking at me.

241
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:30.960
<v Speaker 10>I wouldn't know.

242
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:31.440
<v Speaker 4>What to do.

243
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.240
<v Speaker 2>You don't do anything but carry the wreaths, escorted on

244
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>either side by bagpipers playing a dirt. When you reach

245
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>the statue, you place the wreath at its feet. The

246
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>pipers break into a Scottish battle song. It's all there

247
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 2>is to it, my right Lord Buckinghurst, that's all James.

248
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.559
<v Speaker 12>No, I can't let him do it. James is just

249
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 12>out of a sick bed. He would have to remove

250
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.960
<v Speaker 12>his overcoat and in those kilts, in his icy wind.

251
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 2>It would probably kill him the wind, Lady Claire.

252
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 4>I say, look, the ceremony is nearly ready to begin.

253
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.159
<v Speaker 4>The Minister's about to read the benediction.

254
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 6>You'll have to excuse me.

255
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 4>Robert.

256
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 8>You can't leave now.

257
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:06.519
<v Speaker 4>I have two jeams.

258
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 6>I think I'm going to be sick.

259
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be sick.

260
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 4>Ose what did you put in that scott you gave

261
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 4>to Lord Buckinghurst?

262
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Here come the bagpipers with a wreath. Well, Lord Buckinghurst

263
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>hasn't come back. Looks as though you'd have to carry on,

264
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Sir James.

265
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 8>Oh dear dear, I I do wish Robert would come back.

266
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm not at all good.

267
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 12>At this sort of thing, James, that forbid you to

268
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.919
<v Speaker 12>do it? You can't think of your overcoat. Let someone

269
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 12>else place the wreath. Let mister Holmes do it.

270
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, madam. But it's an honor to which I'm

271
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>afraid I cannot. As spire. My ancestors were mostly roundheads,

272
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 2>you know. I'm afraid King Charles wouldn't approve. I wouldn't

273
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 2>want to come within striking distance of that famous sword.

274
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.840
<v Speaker 12>You are joking such an amusing.

275
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 8>Man, am I Oh dear, yes, they've noticed Robert is missing.

276
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:21.360
<v Speaker 4>They're bringing the wreath to me.

277
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 8>Here, somebody hold my coach.

278
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, madam, you know the expression no less oblige carry on,

279
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Sir Jane.

280
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 8>Yes, I I suppose I shall have to, Oh dear,

281
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.120
<v Speaker 8>I wish I'd stayed in bed jeans.

282
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:37.320
<v Speaker 10>You woo, you idiot.

283
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 3>Not a very impressive figure the Cadet branch of the

284
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 3>House of buckinghast.

285
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 2>No man with knock knee should wear kilts in public. Still,

286
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:14.919
<v Speaker 2>there are all kinds of courage.

287
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Watson James. He's reached the statue. He's he's needing to

288
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 3>place the wreath.

289
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Watson quick and your revolver. Yes, but what I don't

290
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>like the angle of the statue sword over his head?

291
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.559
<v Speaker 4>Hose Have you'd taken leave of your senses?

292
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 2>You know when they start to play the battle cry? Yes,

293
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>the pipers are filling their lungs.

294
00:16:51.159 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 10>Did they go right, Jail James.

295
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 4>Look the sword is falling you, Lord Holmes, the sword

296
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.920
<v Speaker 4>you hid it in mid air. You've broken into bits.

297
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.079
<v Speaker 2>I prevented it from impaling Sir James's body.

298
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 12>No, this is too much, ex kids you he's lying

299
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 12>on the ground.

300
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 2>He's dead. Calm yourself, madame, Your husband's only fainted. The

301
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.599
<v Speaker 2>sword missed him completely. Watson, you're going revived, Sir James.

302
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll attend to her ladyship here very well now, Madam.

303
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 2>No what, mister Holmes, why did you attempt to kill

304
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>your husband's brother. You knew the vibrations of the wild

305
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Stuart battle cry and the bagpipes would dislodge the loosened

306
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.200
<v Speaker 2>sword in the statue's hand. You knew it, But a

307
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.880
<v Speaker 2>pierced the back of anyone kneling below. You screamed to

308
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.240
<v Speaker 2>warn your husband before the sword fell.

309
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:12.759
<v Speaker 12>Ha shemess you you are almost as clever as people

310
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.799
<v Speaker 12>say you are. I will not bother to deny your accusations.

311
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.079
<v Speaker 5>Why should I?

312
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 9>There's nothing you can prove.

313
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.880
<v Speaker 12>What have I to be afraid of.

314
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 2>The man you hired to loosen the sword in the

315
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.519
<v Speaker 2>statue's hand. With my sources of information, it shouldn't take

316
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 2>me more than twenty four hours to find him. With

317
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.559
<v Speaker 2>my powers of persuasion, it shouldn't take me more than

318
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty four minutes to make him talk.

319
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.319
<v Speaker 12>What is that expression they teach the children in his country?

320
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 12>Mister Lees, do not count the chickens until they are hatched.

321
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 1>It's no trick to make ordinary clothes at low prices,

322
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 1>but it takes real manufacturing genius to produce really fine

323
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.519
<v Speaker 1>clothes that not only look far above, but are far

324
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.440
<v Speaker 1>above the modest price you pay for them. That's why

325

354
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 4>It's after midnight.

355
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>We shall wait here, Watson, until the Lady Claire arrives

356
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:11.480
<v Speaker 2>to pay a visit to the artisan who loosened the

357
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:14.160
<v Speaker 2>sword for her. See, I was better than my promise.

358
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:16.839
<v Speaker 2>I tracked him down in less than twenty four hours.

359
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 4>What makes you so sure she'll come?

360
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 2>She must, Watson, As long as Andre Bogarde is alive.

361
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:23.720
<v Speaker 2>He's affreat to her safety.

362
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.599
<v Speaker 4>You think she'll try to finish him off.

363
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>My dear Watson. A woman who's capable of attempting to

364
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.039
<v Speaker 2>murder her husband's brother so that he may inherit is

365
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:31.920
<v Speaker 2>capable of anything.

366
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.079
<v Speaker 4>Whom, sir, when did you first suspect the Dixon?

367
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 2>From the beginning, the letter of warning had to be

368
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 2>written either by James or his wife. They were the

369
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 2>only two who'd benefit by the death of Lord Buckinghurst.

370
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:45.359
<v Speaker 2>They were the only two who knew him well enough

371
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:47.000
<v Speaker 2>to know the effect the letter would be bound to

372
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 2>have on him. You mean he'd attend the ceremony, come

373
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>hell or high warder exactly. James didn't duck when the

374
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 2>bagpipes bursted that violent squalling. Claire, however, screamed to warn him.

375
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Hence she was the guilty party. Kwied, Here comes afore wheeler. Yes,

376
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.680
<v Speaker 2>it's turning down this anyway, down behind these barrels.

377
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Watson, it's stopped in front of Bigod's shop.

378
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.559
<v Speaker 4>I see she is. She's not getting out.

379
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 7>No, she's seen Andrea's shadow on the blind. Yes, she's

380
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:33.240
<v Speaker 7>lowering the cab window. A woman's hand comes out of

381
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:35.799
<v Speaker 7>the window, it's holding a revolver.

382
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Very well, Lestrade, you have your proof. You may come

383
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.960
<v Speaker 2>down from the driver's seat and arrest the lady Shrilla Coles. Yes,

384
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 2>better use handcuffs on her. Lestrade. By the way, madam,

385
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.799
<v Speaker 2>this should teach you never, when on a secret mission,

386
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:54.200
<v Speaker 2>never take the first cab that presents itself. Never know

387
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 2>who the coachman is. Oh, and thank you so much

388
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 2>for your display of marksmanship. I think it I swayed

389
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Andrea to tell us all we wish to know.

390
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.559
<v Speaker 12>Oh no, I never miss It is too late for

391
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 12>Andrea to tell anyone.

392
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:13.960
<v Speaker 2>So sorry to disillusion you, but it wasn't Andrea's head.

393
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Your bullet hit what merely a cleverly arranged silhouette of

394
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the man. I cut it out of cardboard myself only

395
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:23.599
<v Speaker 2>an hour ago. You see, Lady Claire, I have artistic

396
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.960
<v Speaker 2>blood in my veins. Or didn't you know?

397
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 12>I think you are the devil himself?

398
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:31.920
<v Speaker 4>No, Madam, only his second cousin.

399
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:42.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, Ristard may take it away.
