1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.759
<v Speaker 1>And now doctor Watson, what about the case of the

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Burmese Goddess?

3
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.280
<v Speaker 2>If my memory does not fail me, mister Harris. It

4
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 2>took place in the summer of nineteen eleven. This was

5
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 2>a time when England had consolidated her empire, and many

6
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 2>of Britain roamed the far Eastern domains in search of

7
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>its ancient treasure. Among these were Sir John BRANDEWI recently

8
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 2>returned from Burma with the collection of priceless relics. He

9
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 2>hadn't been in London an hour, however, when he received

10
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a strange visitor.

11
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Sir Jan, my name is ah Daku. I have come

12
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 3>a long way, indeed from my native land of Burma.

13
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>For this interview creation. What is it to wind?

14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Sir?

15
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Some months ago a sacred Burmese temple near Sitang was

16
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 3>desecrated by vandals, robbed of his sacred relics. Among these

17
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 3>was the jade goddess of Emma, the second Goddess. Originally

18
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 3>there were two goddesses, the Sisters of Ama, but one

19
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 3>of them vanished centuries ago.

20
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 4>Quiet, did I have the only remaining goddess in my collection?

21
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Now?

22
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, said John, and I have come to purchase it

23
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.359
<v Speaker 3>from you and restore it to the temple.

24
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, I dark cool, but the Goddess of Amar

25
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 4>is not for sale.

26
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 3>I am prepared to offer you a handsome sum, enough

27
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 3>to keep you in luxury for the rest of your life.

28
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 4>I have no need of money, sir, and I repeat,

29
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 4>the Goddess of Amar is not for sale at any

30
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 4>price I.

31
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 3>See, Sir John, no doubt you are aware of the

32
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 3>old Burmese legend that he who possesses the Goddess died,

33
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>that he is first worn by the song of the

34
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>suventh and the years.

35
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 4>I know the story pure nonsense and puppy ca of course,

36
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 4>doesn't frighten me.

37
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 3>In that case, there is nothing more I can say

38
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>or do at the moment, John.

39
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 5>Sir John Bradley Wine. Yes, my name is Bailey, Reginald Bailey.

40
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 5>I am an art collector specializing in Oriental objects of arts.

41
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 5>Mister Bailey, a client of mine, saw the Goddess of

42
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 5>Emma when you exhibited it briefly in Paris on your

43
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 5>way to England.

44
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Here he has commissioned me to purchase it for him.

45
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 4>My dear sir, you're the second prospective purchaser i've seen

46
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 4>this evening, and I repeat to you what I said

47
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 4>to the first goddess is not for sake.

48
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 5>My clients is willing to pay ten pounds a generous offer.

49
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I am sorry, mister Bailey.

50
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Sir John, I'm afraid you're being stubborn.

51
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 5>I've been a collector long enough to know that there

52
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 5>is no such thing as a priceless item. Everything has

53
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 5>its price, and if fit is a question of money.

54
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 4>The last time, sir, you should try to make myself clear.

55
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I will not sell the I'd let any price. And now,

56
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 1>mister ball Air, good night.

57
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 6>M h m.

58
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>What you said?

59
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Give this noise outside the window? Mm, now it can't

60
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 4>be that confounded for mese legend, it's absurd. Should find

61
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 4>out what this is all about.

62
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Who are there? My god? Good fud you speak up?

63
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Run no no hell so you think, Sir John Brandywine

64
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>was murdered because he possessed the serpent Goddess of Weimarho

65
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>obviously Watson.

66
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 6>His demise followed the legend of the letter. After he

67
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 6>was leered to the window, he was struck by a

68
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 6>blowgun missile soaked in deadly reptile venom, and he died

69
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 6>almost instantly.

70
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Joe. Now, all this makes it hard for a chap

71
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to believe he's living in the twentieth century.

72
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 6>Yes, true, Watson, but Sir John's room was rifled in

73
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 6>highly modern fashion. Fortunately, however, he had the foresight to

74
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 6>lock the Goddess and the remainder of his collection in

75
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 6>a vault immediately after he arrived in London.

76
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I wonder what became of the other goddess homes, the

77
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>one that vanished centuries a girl.

78
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I believe I can give you the answer to.

79
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>That, Watson, Eh, you can. Who has it home?

80
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 6>I have, Yes, Watson, Oh, forgive me if it's one

81
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 6>of the very few secrets I've kept from you these

82
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 6>many years. Up to now, I saw no reason to

83
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 6>mention it to anyone. You remember that the adventure of

84
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 6>the rangoon rubab.

85
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Yers, Did I do? That was some ten years ago?

86
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

87
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 6>At the culmination of that affair, the Burmese potentate involved

88
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 6>was very grateful for some slight service I had rendered him,

89
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 6>and he gave me the Goddess. It seems that it

90
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 6>had secretly been kept by his family for many generations.

91
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 2>At Holmes, Where is the Goddess now.

92
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 6>Safely under lock and key? In my tin box at

93
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 6>Barclay's back. But the only other Goddess of Amar in existence,

94
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 6>that possessed by Sir John Brandywine, will soon see.

95
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 1>The light of day.

96
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Eh, what do you mean?

97
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I take it you haven't read the morning telegraph, Watson.

98
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 6>It seems that Sir John's widow is auctioning off her

99
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 6>deceased husband's entire Burmese collection tomorrow morning at Brandywine House

100
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 6>on Berkeley Square.

101
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh. Then, in view of Sir John's strange death, it

102
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>might be interesting to see who bids for the Goddess

103
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>of Amar.

104
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Quite, Watson.

105
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 6>And that is precisely why we shall attend the auction

106
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 6>tomorrow morning.

107
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.240

114
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>He's the only one. The others are obviously afraid of

<v Speaker 1>I am Sherlock Holmes. This is my colleague, Dr Watson.

142
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 5>My name is Reginald Bailey. I am an art collector,

143
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 5>mister Holmes, and the client of mine is interested in

144
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 5>the Goddess of Amar you purchased at the auction this morning. Well,

145
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 5>my representative, Monsieur Laville, foolishly allowed you to outbid him,

146
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 5>thinking the price was too high. Well, I am interested

147
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 5>in buying it now and have prepared to offer you

148
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 5>a generous price.

149
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>How generous ten.

150
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Thousand pounds t Holmes. That's ten times what you paid.

151
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Yes, quite, Watson, But the Goddess of Amar is not

152
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>for sale. Mister Holmes.

153
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>You don't realize what you're saying.

154
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 6>On the contrary, I know perfectly well what I'm saying.

155
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 6>I repeat, the Goddess is not for sale at any

156
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.720
<v Speaker 6>price now, mister Bailey.

157
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 5>I bid you good night very well, mister Holmes, I

158
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 5>can only say you'll regret your action.

159
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Good night, Well, Dashendoms. You must be mad turning down

160
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>an offer like.

161
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 6>That, Not at all, Watson. You recall the French gentlemen

162
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 6>who bit against me at the auction. You remember I

163
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 6>referred to the condition of his hair and handless. The

164
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 6>skin on the fellow's hands was desiccated, and he'd lost

165
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 6>his fingernails. Moreover, on certain areas of his head, he'd

166
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 6>suffered a complete glass of hair.

167
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Knows what's all this got to do with the with

168
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the Burmese Goddess.

169
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 6>It means, my dear fellow, that the jade figure and

170
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 6>I purchased is worth a fortune. It means that not one,

171
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 6>but two mysterious parties want the goddess and will stop

172
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 6>at nothing to get it. If I'm not misticken, there

173
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 6>may be a desperate attempt to kidnap the Goddess tonight.

174
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>You choose your family, doctor, lawyer, and banker because you

175
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 1>have confidence in them. It's just as smart to choose

176
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 1>the place where you buy your clothes for the same reason.

198
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.440
<v Speaker 1>us the case of the Burmese guidess, so I was.

199
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Mister hals Holmes did not explain his observations any further,

200
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 2>and I did not press him. That night at Baker Street,

201
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I fell into a troubled and uneasy slump. And my

202
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 2>last recollection was of Holmes sitting in his easy chair,

203
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>smoking his pipe and facing the window. He seemed to

204
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>be waiting for something, expecting something. And then Watson, Watson,

205
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 2>wake up this Watson, juice is icy, good Lord Holmes.

206
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 2>The warning song, the warning of death that led infernal

207
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 2>legend Whites.

208
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>We have a visitor in the yard.

209
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, confounder, let's go to the windows.

210
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 6>To stay away from the window, Watson, to approach and

211
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.279
<v Speaker 6>open it means certain death.

212
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.080
<v Speaker 1>You shall wait ahead on the dark and abude the

213
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 1>tramp they set.

214
00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Who are they?

215
00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Obvious? Watson?

216
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 2>They had two shots from outside our window.

217
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 6>Yes, something has happened which I did not foresee. Watson,

218
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 6>take a revolver and follow me down to the art quickly, Homes.

219
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 2>There's a body of a man here in the yard.

220
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>He's been shot.

221
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and look there's a man. He just run out

222
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:22.799
<v Speaker 1>of the shrubbery.

223
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Hello there stop stop shoot confounded and mister he's heard

224
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 2>on the fence hose he's running down Maker Street, queer

225
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>after him. The beggar was too fast, was hosy? He

226
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 2>got away?

227
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.480
<v Speaker 6>Yes, quite, but he's left us a souvenir in this

228
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.360
<v Speaker 6>corpse here right, let us examine the body.

229
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Ha ha, what is it?

230
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 6>Identification papers, Watson, and note they prove that this dead

231
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 6>man is Inspector Paul Dubois, the French civitate.

232
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Eh.

233
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 2>What's a French police inspector got to do with a

234
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Burmese goddess?

235
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 6>Everything, my dear fellow, everything. Remember my competitive bidder at

236
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 6>the auction was also French. Yes, the pieces of this

237
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 6>remarkable puzzle are beginning to assemble themselves into a clear

238
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 6>and precise pattern. And one moment, Watson, Yes, observe this

239
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 6>slip of paper on the dead man's body seems to

240
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 6>be a.

241
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Torn piece of rather expensive stationery.

242
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:24.879
<v Speaker 2>What of it?

243
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 6>On it are written the words room three twenty two

244
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 6>in red inkal homes.

245
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>What does it mean?

246
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 6>It means that, very soon, Watson, I shall have the

247
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 6>answer to this whole riddle. Suppose you find the nearest

248
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 6>constable and inform in this affair the moment I shall

249
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 6>return to our fat upstairs.

250
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Presently good. The place was a.

251
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 6>Shamble, yes, Watson, our fact was quickly rifled by someone

252
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 6>looking on the.

253
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Promise, and it's gone, has stole.

254
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Quite from now on, we must move with all possible speed.

255
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 2>What do we do first?

256
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 6>First we must make a telephone call to the prefect

257
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.720
<v Speaker 6>of Police in Paris, and after that find room three

258
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 6>twenty two, and there we may discover the goddess.

259
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 2>How are we going to do that?

260
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Obvious?

261
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.519
<v Speaker 6>The room number Inspector Dubi wrote down means that this

262
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 6>is a hotel rendezvous. And from the expensive quality of

263
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 6>the stationery we made deduce that Dubi wrote down this

264
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 6>number in some first class hotel.

265
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 2>But homes London is full of first class hotel.

266
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, true? What's and true?

267
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 6>But here is the salient fact. The room number was

268
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 6>scrawled in red ink, a highly unusual procedure can only

269
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 6>mean that this particular hotel ran out of blue ink.

270
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:35.960
<v Speaker 2>In other words, of it if we can find the

271
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>first class hotel using ready.

272
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 6>Yes quite, Watson quite? But come, we are wasting too

273
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.440
<v Speaker 6>much time in talking. Must resolved this affair quickly before

274
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.000
<v Speaker 6>the night's over, or it'll be too late.

275
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.639
<v Speaker 5>Hello Laville, this is Bailey. I'm down at the hotel lobby.

276
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 5>Wait did you get that goddess out of the home

277
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.399
<v Speaker 5>flat way? Well, we here ran after you, Monsieur Bailey,

278
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 5>I took it from his apartment. Is here on the

279
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 5>table now, I have already woken the goddess from the.

280
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Dead base, chifful, what you do, Laville? I have no

281
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.639
<v Speaker 1>fear in these matters, monsieur am I not an expert, yes.

282
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.639
<v Speaker 2>But these Burmese devils are after that goddess.

283
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.000
<v Speaker 5>To Laville, they were outside homes flat when I got

284
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:22.720
<v Speaker 5>rid of inspector.

285
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.679
<v Speaker 9>Do why, I'll be right up and then we'll get

<v Speaker 9>out way, Monsieur Bailey.

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>As for these Beames natives, they do not know where

288
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:32.919
<v Speaker 1>we are right right for sure? Bailey? What is it?

289
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>What's the better? Yeah? Here they've come for the goddess.

290
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.279
<v Speaker 1>What the song? The dead song? And is outside my

291

<v Speaker 5>They took the goddess. But the base, yes, is still

299
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 5>here on the table. Your get fools didn't know. They

300
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.480
<v Speaker 5>left me a fortune. Now get out Canada, perhaps Australia,

301

304
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.120

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.600
<v Speaker 6>Note Watson, the dead man on the floor is Monsieur le'ville,

306

<v Speaker 6>my competitor at the auction, and he suffered the same

307
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 6>fate of Sir John Brandywine the Burmese revenge.

308
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they've taken the goddess.

309
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.519
<v Speaker 6>There's some good riddance. Let them take it back to

310
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 6>the sacred temple whence it was stolen. Our concern is

311
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:46.600
<v Speaker 6>with mister Bailey here.

312
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 2>How did you find me here?

313
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.679
<v Speaker 6>No matter of routine investigation, my dear fellow, I shan't

314
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 6>bore you with the details, and I wouldn't touch that

315
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 6>lead base so tightly if I were you, I believe

316
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 6>you'll find it worthless.

317
00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean?

318
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean that it's really a solid block of lead?

319
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 1>You see, my dear fellow, you purloin the wrong goddess.

320
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 2>What hoes you mean? You switched the figures. You took

321
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.839
<v Speaker 2>the goddess that you own from the tin box of

322
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Barkler's Bank and placed it in.

323
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.000
<v Speaker 6>Our flat precisely, Watson, and the Goddess I purchased at

324
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.480
<v Speaker 6>the auction now rests quite safely in the custody of

325
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 6>Inspector Astrad at Scotland Yards.

326
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>You cheated me. You cheated me out of a fortune, right?

327
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.480
<v Speaker 2>What's all this about?

328
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>What thought fortune in radium? Watson?

329
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.880
<v Speaker 6>Radium exactly a grain of radium stolen from the Curie

330
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.759
<v Speaker 6>laboratories in Paris, hidden in the base of the Goddess

331
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:40.680
<v Speaker 6>of Amar, and thus smuggled into England.

332
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, now that we've delivered the smuggler Bailey to the authorities,

333
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>would you mind telling me the course of your deduction?

334
00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I must confess I'm confused.

335
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Are you? Watson?

336
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 6>But the holo the fair is really quite obvious. The

337
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.519
<v Speaker 6>Burmese motive to recover the goddess was simple enough, the

338
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.599
<v Speaker 6>sacred and religious quest. But it was at the auction,

339
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.119
<v Speaker 6>after observing la Ville, that a new element entered. But

340
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 6>how did you know the condition of the man's hands

341
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 6>and hair, loss of fingernails, desiccated appearance of skin, loss

342
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.920
<v Speaker 6>of patches of hair, symptomatic of work with radium. The

343
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.680
<v Speaker 6>fact that he was a Frenchman further heightened my suspicions

344
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:27.400
<v Speaker 6>with Holmes.

345
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I still don't see how.

346
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 6>Laville, as I learned from the Paris Prefect of Police,

347
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 6>was a worker in the curial laboratory. He entered a

348
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 6>conspiracy with this international thief Bailey, to steal a grain

349
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 6>of radium. The next problem was to smuggle it out

350
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 6>of the country.

351
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>And so they concealed it in the Goddess of Ama

352
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 2>while Sir John Brandywine displayed his collection in Parisy.

353
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.000
<v Speaker 6>Exactly the lead base, of course, was a perfect carrier

354
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 6>in which to hide the loot and get it past

355
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 6>the customs and out of the country. They had planned

356
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 6>to purchase the Goddess from Sir John and then recover

357
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 6>the radium. Their plans, ever, went awry. Meanwhile, Inspector Duboins

358
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 6>was hot on their trail, and they got rid of him.

359
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 2>And that holds closes this adventure.

360
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Not quite, Watson.

361
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.640
<v Speaker 6>We are living in a new and dynamic age. I

362
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:17.759
<v Speaker 6>am a criminologist, not a seer, and yet I know

363
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 6>that these radioactive substances hold the key to the future,

364
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.480
<v Speaker 6>and I cannot help but wonder if men will use

365
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:28.319
<v Speaker 6>them for.

366
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Good or evil. Well, doctor Watson, that was quite an Adventures.

367
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, indeed it was, mister Harrison. It is, in fact

368
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorite memoirs and significant in the light

369
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>of what is being done with radioactive substances today.

370
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And now, Doctor Watson, what adventure will you have for

371
00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 1>us next week?

372
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Next week, Miss to Harris, I shall relate to you

373
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the Adventure of the Golden pars Neck. It concerns an

374
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 2>untidy rug, a box of Egyptian cigarettes, and a stab

375
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 2>in the dock.
