WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>And now doctor Watson, what about the adventure of the

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.279
<v Speaker 1>East End Strangler.

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, mister Harris, it began in September eighteen ninety eight,

4
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 2>exactly ten years after Jack the Ripper had left his

5
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>blood drenched trail through the squalid dives of White Chapel

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.760
<v Speaker 2>and Spittlefields. The memory of Jack the Ripper was growing

7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 2>deep when a new nocturnal power, a shadowy terror, began

8
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>to haunt the dark streets of London. A woman was

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>straddled to death in Shedwell, another in Wapping, and soon

10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 2>the name of the East End Strangler was enough to

11
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 2>strike terror in every heart. The official police were helpless

12
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 2>against this cruel, pitiless and devilishly shrewd Maraller. And then,

13
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 2>one foggy night in Ratcliffe, near the Thames, a lady

14
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>came running through the fog when.

15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Constable Constable, lady, what's up, stranger?

16
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 4>He just accostantly on Rutlet Highway.

17
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 3>Now, ma'am, easy does it? You're assure it with the stranger?

18
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh, yes, yes, comfortable, I'm sure he ran after me

19
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 5>in the pug. I lost him just a moment ago.

20
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 3>Listen, you see that lane there.

21
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 4>A dark little street right.

22
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 6>You just go down it till you come to Commercial

23
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 6>Road East. You'll be able to get a cab.

24
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 7>There, constable. No, don't leave me.

25
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 3>I think.

26
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 6>Don't worry about now, ma'am. You just followed my instructions.

27
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm going back and look for this East End strangler.

28
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 6>There isn't a man on the force who hasn't been

29
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 6>itching to get him.

30
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 7>Who's that?

31
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 8>Who's standing there in the park?

32
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 7>Who are you?

33
00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 3>What the evening, my dear you. That's a lovely.

34
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 8>Throat you have, my dear, so graceful and white like

35
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 8>a swan's. Yes, my dear, the strangler, the yeast End strangler,

36
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 8>and your throat, yes, your throat is smooth, so smooth

37
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 8>like silk, and graceful, so graceful. It's a pity, such

38
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 8>a pity tomorrow, the whiteness of that throat. But what

39
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 8>can I do? What else can I do? How it

40
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 8>yields to the caress of my hands. Don't cry out,

41
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 8>my dear, don't fight and struggle. The others have tried

42
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 8>to cry out too, but it was useless.

43
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 9>In a moment, you will feel no pain.

44
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 8>Ah, Now it is all over, my dear, And it's

45
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 8>such a pity, such a pity. But then, my dear,

46
00:02:54.759 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 8>what else could I do, mister.

47
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 10>Holmes, doctor Watson, this affair of the East End stranger,

48
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 10>I'm forced to admit his got out of hand.

49
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 2>So we have observed in the newspapers.

50
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 4>They home, Yes, Pike Watson, quite, I must say, Inspector

51
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 4>the start. It's rather late in the game to summon

52
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 4>my colleague and myself. The official police have bungled this

53
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 4>a fair bad thing, I should.

54
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Say, Lady Wyndham, last night was his third victim. I've

55
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>no doubt he's plotting the fall.

56
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 9>Doctor Watson. The man's uncanny, a genius, I might say.

57
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 9>He moves about like a shadow, strikes and banishes.

58
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 4>You've doubled the constables, Yes, but the beggar seems to

59
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 4>be on to the police every step of the way.

60
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 9>He's eluded every trap we've set for him.

61
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Over then we must bake the hook with a more

62
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 4>subtle year, My dear Lustan, now supposed to examine the facts. Eh, First,

63
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 4>the strangler chooses only women as victims. We know that

64
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 4>these women are of high breeding and good circumstance.

65
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, what are they doing in the slums of the

66
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>East End? Home?

67
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 4>That's an excellent question, my dear Watson, in a curious

68
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 4>circumstance which will bear investigation. But now let us examine

69
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 4>the exact geographical area to the Strangler's operations. You have

70
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 4>a map of London, Nostrand.

71
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 9>Yes, yes, mister, right here on my desk.

72
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Capital.

73
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 4>Now, then, gentlemen, observe the first victim was found in

74
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Shadwell here, the second in Wapping here, the third and

75
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 4>latest Lady Wyndham, here at in Ratcliffe. Now let us

76
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 4>draw a circle around these points.

77
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 9>By jove, they are all in the borough.

78
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 4>Of Stepney, precisely, Lestride. The Strangler, for some pertinent reason,

79
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 4>has limited his activities to Stepney in the East End.

80
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 4>A whim perhaps, but I'm more inclined to believe it's

81
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 4>either design or circumstance. Now then let us proceed with

82
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 4>our investigation. But now, hope, now, Watson, we shall examine

83
00:04:48.399 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 4>Lady Wyndham's body in the mortuary. Extraordinary, Watson is East

84
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>ten Stranglers not only wanton and cruel, but infernally clever.

85
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 4>He struck and left no clue on the body. Yes,

86
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 4>Inspector Lestrade, a question.

87
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 9>Yes, Miss Hams.

88
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 4>I note Lady Wyndham's purse is torn open and empty.

89
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 4>Was this true in the case of the previous victims. Yes, yes,

90
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 4>ostensibly the motive is simple robbery. But I have an

91
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 4>idea there's much more to this than meets the eye. Watson, Yes,

92
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 4>homes afraid we're in for some rather routine investigation for

93
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 4>a day or two. We must investigate the personal lives

94
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 4>of the stranglers, three well to do victims, and ascertain

95
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 4>why they went to Stepney in the dead of night.

96
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 9>A suggestion for myself, mister.

97
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 4>I have indeed lesstride. I suggest that you place a

98
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 4>curfew upon all of Stepley Borough, order all residents to

99
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 4>be indoors by nine o'clock.

100
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 5>Lady Margaret, Lady Margaret, ma'am.

101
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 7>Oh, oh it's you, Mary.

102
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 5>What you're all dressed? My lady, Surely you're not going

103
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 5>out at this time of night alone.

104
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 7>Yes, yes, I must have hit urgent.

105
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 5>But it's dangerous, ma'am, what with the strangler walk in

106
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 5>the streets and all.

107
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 7>I got to take the chance.

108
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 6>Mary.

109
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 7>It's a foggy night outside. I don't think anyone will

110
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 7>see me.

111
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 5>Lord love us, ma'am. But it's all too much for

112
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 5>a poor girl like me. Why should you be going

113
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 5>out on a night like this and all alone?

114
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 7>Mary? You remember my confiding in you about George. You mean, yes,

115
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 7>the man I almost married twenty years ago. I just

116
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 7>got a letter from him this.

117
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 5>Morning, Lady Margaret. Then he's alive. He's come back to London.

118
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 7>Yes, yes, but he's in desperate straits. Mary, are you understand,

119
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 7>hiding in the slums of Stepney. The police are pursuing

120
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 7>him for something he didn't do, and he needs money,

121
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 7>money to get away. I must bring it to him tonight,

122
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 7>alone and Mary.

123
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Lady Margaret.

124
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 7>You're not read a single word of this to anyone.

125
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 7>Everything I've told you now and before is in the

126
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 7>strictest confidence. You understand, Yes, ma'am, very well. I'll go

127
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 7>back to the servants, chorters and go to bed. I

128
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 7>won't be back until early this morning. George. George opened

129
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:35.959
<v Speaker 7>the doors, Margaret, George, how this house seems dark, deserted?

130
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 7>I who?

131
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Who?

132
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.800
<v Speaker 3>I am afraid you won't find anyone home, my dear?

133
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Who who are you? Don't you know, Lady Margaret?

134
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 7>No, no, no, yes.

135
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 8>My dear, Such a lovely throat, such a pretty white throat.

136
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Such a soft lawn throat.

137
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 3>What can I do? What can I do? Hell?

138
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 8>Then, my lady, first the letter from George, and then

139
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 8>the money and we'll be off.

140
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 9>Oh here we are, wish ah.

141
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, Doctor Watson, this is one adventure I'm going to

142
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>remember for a long time.

143
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Harris, what you've heard is only the beginning.

144
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 2>In a few moments after you give our audience some

145
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>facts to remember on Clippercraft clothes, I shall relate to

146
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 2>you what happened.

147
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to pay a lot of money to

148
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 1>get real styling in a suit, the kind that makes

149
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 1>a man look his best. A clipper Craft worsted suit

150
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>at forty five dollars or a clipper Craft top coat

151
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>from forty to forty seven fifty have styling you usually

152
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>associate with clothes costing much more. You see, clipper Craft

153
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>can afford the country's foremost designers. Because of the tremendous

154
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>volume of clipper Craft clothes Americans buy. Over twelve hundred

155
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>independent merchants from coast to coast have joined in a

156
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 1>gigantic buying pool to make possible the amazing values clipper

157
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Craft offers today in styling in fabrics, in fine tailoring.

158
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And speaking of fine tailoring of workmanship, clipper Craft clothes

159
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>take their name from the famous Yankee clipper ships, also

160
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>New England, built to superb standards of craftsmanship. Yes, when

161
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you're a clippercraft merchant invite you to compare clipper craft

162
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.039
<v Speaker 1>with clothes costing many dollars more. He really means it.

163
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why men who know insist on clipper Craft clothes

164
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 1>bearing the clipper Craft label. So be sure to visit

165

<v Speaker 1>And now doctor Watson. Doctor Watson, you were telling us

174
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>of the adventure of the East End Strangler.

175
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Harris, I was Holmes and I were at

176
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Baker Street late that night going over the results of

177
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>our routine investigation, when we received an urgent message from

178
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Inspector Lestrut The east and strangler had been abroad on

179
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>the dark streets of stepnear Gay. It struck again, and

180
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.080
<v Speaker 2>it vanished like a ghost in the fog, leaving his

181
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>dead and mangled victim behind him, this time Lady Margaret Blencock. Naturally,

182
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Holmes and I lost no time in getting to the scene.

183
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Then Holmes asked.

184
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.200
<v Speaker 4>Who discovered the body.

185
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 10>Inspecting Lestrade, why one of my men heard a scream?

186
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.279
<v Speaker 10>Mister M's Constable Wilson. He ran up, but the strangler

187
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 10>took to his heels and made up in the park.

188
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 9>Constable Higgins joined.

189
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.360
<v Speaker 10>Wilson a moment later, and the two of them searched

190
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.799
<v Speaker 10>the area and found nothing in the strand Oh nothing,

191
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 10>the words the strangler banished like a fandom. I still

192
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 10>don't see how he got through my priest guard Bob

193
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 10>with kurpew and all.

194
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Eh.

195
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 4>A remarkably clever fellow, the strangler, Lestrade. I do not

196
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 4>admire his calling, but I I must confess a certain

197
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 4>grudging respect for his ingenuity.

198
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, the fellow is almost fiendishly clever. What next?

199
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Hos a careful examination of the body? Watson, the same

200
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 4>wanton attack as you see, and one moment? What is it?

201
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Miss Arms?

202
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 4>I note that the contents of Lady Margaret's purse are untouched.

203
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 4>It contains two hundred pounds and a letter.

204
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Strangler must have been surprised for he could make away

205
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 2>with the money I hold.

206
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Cried Watson quite bitutes this letter that interests me at

207
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 4>the moment hum the request for funds from some one

208
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 4>named George, an old admirer. According to the text.

209
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 9>Oh do you think that letter is bogus?

210
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 4>Inspector? And so is George? Obviously a pretext to lure

211
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 4>the victim into this area?

212
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:07.919
<v Speaker 2>Ah, what is it?

213
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 11>Her?

214
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 4>Lork Watson? You Toolistard observed that are some small blue

215
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 4>threads touched in the fist of the victim, both.

216
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Who considered them significant.

217
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.519
<v Speaker 4>Her I do, indeed very But come whattson? It's late,

218
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 4>Let us find a cabin, return to Bicker Street. There'll

219
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 4>be time enough tomorrow to track our men down.

220
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Holmes. I must confess I'm completely baffled by this strangler.

221
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Fellow, are you Watson? I cannot say the same for myself.

222
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Consider the results of our investigation today, what about them?

223
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 4>We found that each victim, on the day of her murder,

224
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 4>had withdrawn a large sum of money from the bank.

225
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 4>We know that the killer lured his victims to the

226
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 4>slums of the East End, and specifically to Stepney, through

227
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 4>the use of bogus letters purporting to be from old

228
00:12:58.919 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 4>friends or lovers.

229
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>What about it, Holmes.

230
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 4>Obviously this fellow who's taken the mantle of Jack the

231
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Ripper must have had access to intimate and personal information

232
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 4>concerning his intended victims.

233
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.159
<v Speaker 2>That seems reasonable, Home.

234
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Might and therefore our next step is to pay a

235
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.759
<v Speaker 4>visit to the home of the latest victim, Lady Margaret Blencroft,

236
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.679
<v Speaker 4>and question her personal maid.

237
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Our homes. All the maid could tell us was that

238
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:34.200
<v Speaker 2>she was asleep. Didn't hear Lady Margaret go out? I'm

239
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.720
<v Speaker 2>afraid we didn't get very far here.

240
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 4>On the contrary, Watson, we did, Eh, what do you

241
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.879
<v Speaker 4>mean the contents of her sewing basket? They were significant,

242
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.960
<v Speaker 4>they're there. But come, let's be off to Scotland Yard.

243
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Scotland Yard.

244
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.440
<v Speaker 4>By I wish to talk to inspect a lestride and

245
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.639
<v Speaker 4>then to inspect the police who will be on the

246
00:13:51.639 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 4>lookout for the strangler to night. So these are the

247
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 4>lists of the Metropolitan Police assignments a lustrand that.

248
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 9>Is correct, mis Ms.

249
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 10>As you see, London is divided into police areas and

250
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.519
<v Speaker 10>the names of the constable the sign of each area

251
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:12.960
<v Speaker 10>are listed.

252
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 4>Yes quite. I cannot say that I'm impressed by our

253
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 4>techniques of criminal investigation, my Deearnstrand, but I must say

254
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 4>these police records are in excellent order.

255
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Homes What the devil does always mean? Why are you

256
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 2>taking such an extraordinary interest in the affairs of the

257
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>police here the Coswatson.

258
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 4>It is only by way of the official police that

259
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 4>we can hope to arrest the East End strangler.

260
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 9>Woh, now there's the Holmes.

261
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.559
<v Speaker 10>I'm glad to know you're going to require our close

262
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 10>cooperation for once.

263
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 4>Quite now in the Strand, I understand you've requested a

264
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 4>special inspection of the police constables before they venture into

265
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 4>Stepney tonight. Yes, come, Watson, let's view this inspection. You

266
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 4>may find it most interesting.

267
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 9>Well, here we are, gentlemen. As you see, the men

268
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 9>are waiting for inspection.

269
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Catch fine looking squad of men find us on the post.

270
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 9>Doctor Watcher.

271
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 4>Suppose we review the constables now as durant.

272
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>As you Wishmas Holmes after you, Yeah, I must say, Holmes.

273
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>This reminds me of the old days with the Army.

274
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.399
<v Speaker 2>I recall one day the General reviewed my brigaded bomb.

275
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.440
<v Speaker 4>You bear. What is your name, Constable? You mean me, sir,

276
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 4>I do indeed? What is your name Higgins? Sir Edward Higgins? Oh, yes, yes, yes,

277
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 4>I read your report Higgins on what happened last night,

278
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 4>very neat, very concise.

279
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, sir.

280
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 4>I cannot say the same for your personal appearance. However,

281
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.440
<v Speaker 4>what do you mean, mister? Your tunic, man, your tunic,

282
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 4>it's been torn in the color and resown with new thread.

283
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps you can playing the reason for this?

284
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, you don't, homes.

285
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Constable Higgins is running away.

286
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 9>What's the reading of his comeback?

287
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:06.679
<v Speaker 8>That man?

288
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.120
<v Speaker 4>Stop him?

289
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 9>He's running straight to that big windle.

290
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.320
<v Speaker 2>There he goes, Hoss. He's made good as a scale.

291
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 4>He hasn't deep it only for the moment. He must

292
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.559
<v Speaker 4>anticipate the moments from now on, Come Watson. There's no

293
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:17.200
<v Speaker 4>time to look right.

294
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 5>Edward Edward Higgins shut the door, Mary Quick Heywood, what

295
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 5>are you doing here?

296
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:43.399
<v Speaker 8>You're supposed to.

297
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:43.879
<v Speaker 5>Be on duty.

298
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.320
<v Speaker 3>It Holmes, Mary, he's found me off. The game's up.

299
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 3>I got to get out, get away to the hideaway

300
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 3>on the continent.

301
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 5>Then I'll go with your life were arranged.

302
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:51.840
<v Speaker 12>We go together.

303
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 5>Wait till I pack my bag?

304
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Father, Mary, what do you mean the East End strangler

305
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:03.480
<v Speaker 3>still has another job to do, another neck to twist?

306
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 5>What what do you mean?

307
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Who is yours?

308
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:13.400
<v Speaker 12>My dear? No, you know too much about me in

309
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 12>our little game. You know where I'm going to hide

310
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.720
<v Speaker 12>out from here? This detective home will be sure to

311
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 12>worm it from you. Besides, why should I share all

312
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.920
<v Speaker 12>the money I took from those fine ladies with you?

313
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:28.880
<v Speaker 12>I got plans of my own, dearie, such a lovely throat,

314
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 12>so graceful, so smooth.

315
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 3>A pity berry. But what can I do? What can

316
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 3>I do?

317
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 4>Take your hands on her? Higgins is going to rush

318
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.799
<v Speaker 4>you ill? Did you do it a prepose? I teach

319
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 4>you a little jiujitsu, Higgins? Where you go?

320
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:47.640
<v Speaker 2>And you flung him right over your shoulder?

321
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 4>Well he's unconsciousness quite Watson. He made the mistake of

322
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 4>being off balance on the attack. Now, while this constable

323
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.680
<v Speaker 4>lies here, Watson, suppose you go out and find another

324
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:09.200
<v Speaker 4>constable to arrest him, and this woman as his accessory.

325
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I see, So marry the maid. Through the gossip of

326
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.240
<v Speaker 2>other servants, learned of those women with past love affairs,

327
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and then told the strangler precisely.

328
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 10>But how did you know that he was a member

329
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.599
<v Speaker 10>of the official pleas mister.

330
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:28.759
<v Speaker 4>Her obvious the stard. Remember, Constable Higgins had an intimate

331
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.000
<v Speaker 4>knowledge of police strategy and therefore was able to elude

332
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.960
<v Speaker 4>the patrols. Furthermore, Lady Margaret Blencroft was strangled during a

333
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 4>curfew when only police constables were allowed on the streets.

334
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 4>Recall to that Higgins buy at curious coincidence, was close

335
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 4>to Lady Margaret when she was murdered.

336
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.200
<v Speaker 10>Ah, and Higgins's patrol area had always been the Stepney district.

337
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Quite But the blue threads and Lady Margaret's clenched head,

338
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.359
<v Speaker 2>what about them?

339
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 3>Ah?

340
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.519
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, yes, the blue friend, Watson. They were the

341
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.279
<v Speaker 4>same color as the tunic's own by the London Bobbies.

342
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.599
<v Speaker 4>She tore Higgins's collar in the struggle, and he had

343
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.640
<v Speaker 4>into his accomplished Mary to have it prepared. I had

344
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.279
<v Speaker 4>only to inspect the police line and pick out a

345
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 4>man with a ripped collar newly resown omes.

346
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker 10>I must say you conducted a rather sound investigation here,

347
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.599
<v Speaker 10>very professional.

348
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:25.119
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Lestrade h I appreciate the compliment, and I

349
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 4>hope you will not hesitate to call on me in

350
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.480
<v Speaker 4>the future. It's always a pleasure to rescue the official

351
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 4>police from their own mistakes. He Watson.

352
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, doctor Watson, that was some adventure.

353
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.759

355
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the East End strangler was hoisted by his own fetads

356
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>on his speak on a rope and prison.

357
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 1>I say, and now, doctor Watson, what adventure will you

358
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>relate to us next week?

359
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Next week, mister Harris, I shall tell you of an

360
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.599
<v Speaker 2>adventure which I have entitled murder on a Wager. It

361
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.519
<v Speaker 2>concerns two dead bodies floating in the Mediterranean, an unbelievably

362
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.599
<v Speaker 2>odd wager that made history at Monte carl
