WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:04.040 And now doctor Watson, back to our final story. 2 00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:06.599 Will mister Harris. When I was packing my peer fishing 3 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.599 paraphernalia this morning, it had put me in mind of 4 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.359 the horrible catastrophe that interrupted a certain trip Homes and 5 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.160 I were indulging in. Fishing was one of the few 6 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.320 sports you know that Holmes enjoyed. Yes, the last character 7 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.600 in that tragic episode died just last winter, the poor 8 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.519 lady who lived in a lodging house in total seclusion, 9 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.479 going out only at night, and then all was heavily veiled. Yes, 10 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.759 I have finally decided to tell the case of the 11 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.079 double tragedy at Abbess Parva. 12 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.880 Abbus Parva, that's a curious name. Doctor. 13 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.560 Was it in Italy? No, mister Harris. Abbas Povert is 14 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.920 a small village in Berkshire. Rohonda's circus had halted there 15 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.679 for the night on its way to Wimbledon. They were 16 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.719 simply camping and not exhibiting. As the place is so small, 17 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.240 it wouldn't have paid them to. 18 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.759 Open Ronder's circus. Sir, I don't believe I've heard of it, doctor. 19 00:00:58.799 --> 00:00:59.880 Was it a big one ru for. 20 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:00.560 The those days? 21 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.439 Yes? Ronda was at one time a household word in 22 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.239 England and on the continent. I don't believe he ever 23 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.359 went to the United States. He was the rival of 24 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.200 Wmwell and of Sanger, perhaps the greatest showman of his day. 25 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.640 There is evidence, however, that he took to drink, and 26 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.959 that both he and his show were on the downgrade 27 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.040 at the time of the Great tragedy. Well, it was 28 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.159 spring and the trout season was on. Holmes and I 29 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.079 had gone to Berkshire to a place we knew for 30 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.280 a bit of fishing. Late one afternoon we received a 31 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.359 message from Rohonda's circus that it was encamped in the 32 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.959 neighboring hamlet of Abbess Power. It seemed Jojo wanted to 33 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.319 see us. It was a fine evening, so after supper, 34 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.840 Homes suggested we stole over and have a chat with him. 35 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.120 Jojo was an old friend. 36 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:47.719 Of Sherlock Holmes. 37 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.239 Mister Holmes certainly had a great variety of acquaintances doctor 38 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.599 everything from clowns to cabinet ministery. 39 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.439 It is quite and I rather suspect he preferred the clowns. 40 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.519 He always said they were more human. Where we found 41 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.719 Jojo behind the cook tent, smoking his evening pipe. A peculiar, 42 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.759 exhilarating smell that a circus carries with it, hung heavy 43 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:10.879 in the still air. 44 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.120 I know it's made up of animals and peanuts and 45 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.759 sawdust and canvas and pink lemonade. 46 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.719 And that's as good a description as any mister had 47 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.560 is Well, everything looked peaceful enough, but there was an 48 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.879 undercurrent of excitement about.

Some 81 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.919 say it was a put up job, and I'm not 82 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.120 saying it wasn't, lightly seeing as Genie's father never learned 83 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.039 to read or write. Alsoever, Ronda seemed to think he 84 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.400 had a case, so Jeanie married him to keep things 85 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.519 hushed up. Yes, sir, that check was for one hundred pounds, 86 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.360 But I guess Genie has had a million pounds worth 87 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:22.519 of suffering since then. 88 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:24.680 Ronda kept getting. 89 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.560 Worse and worse. 90 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:26.680 First it was. 91 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:32.240 Drink, then women, and then he took her beating her 92 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.000 up michiget it blackguard, Yes, I kind of figure.

And maybe he didn't know that, Yes, sir. 107 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.399 He even makes her feed them, so it's because they'll 108 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.120 feel more friendly toward her if she does. But between 109 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.240 you and me is because they always roar so at 110 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:22.160 feeding time. 111 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.360 And that terrifies her. 112 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.519 You see, present medieval gentlemen, he should have lived at 113 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.279 the time of the Spanish Inquisition. Look, yeah, why didn't 114 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.720 someone in the circus interfere go to the police. 115 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.240 But we don't dare for her lose that jobs. 116 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.560 Besides, what could we prove? 117 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.959 What's in the circus. 118 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.800 Is a world of its own, and the people in 119 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.399 it are born, brought up, and finally they die under canvas. 120 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.560 They travel here and there, never making any real contact 121 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:50.480 with outside life. 122 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.000 If one of the performers had stepped into protect Missus Roonda, 123 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.319 he'd have lost his job and never been able to 124 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.319 get into a circus again in all probability. 125 00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.360 Yes, sir, that's right. 126 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.680 As I said, the circus is a world of its own. 127 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.040 It has its own loves and hates, its own laws 128 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:05.800 and standards. 129 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.199 And Rhonda as it's a it's Caesar, it's God, the 130 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.600 circus performing.

I got a feeling 146 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.720 a kind of warning. And I ain't the only one. 147 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:09.560 The rest of him they got the wind up too. 148 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.120 We don't know exactly why. 149 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.720 Yes, I noticed that everything was unnaturally quiet as I 150 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.519 came past the tents tonight. No singing and shouting, none 151 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.800 of the usual couples walking around arm in arm. Everyone 152 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.319 seems to be under cover. 153 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.680 Yea, that's what they are said, undercovered and listening, waiting 154 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.240 for something to happen. 155 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.519 Some people say we circus spokes is superstitious. 156 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.360 You call a watch light, but we always knows when 157 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.480 something's going to happen. The night before the big blowdown 158 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.600 outside of Dover when twenty people was killed there was 159 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.480 a feeling like this all through the camp, the same 160 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.560 way when Lilian de Land Strappee snapped and she broke 161 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:45.920 her neck. 162 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:47.959 Even the animals seem. 163 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:48.160 To feel it. 164 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.879 I tell you, miss Romees, something's going to happen, but 165 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:53.639 we don't know what. 166 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.560 Perhaps you do subconsciously. 167 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.759 I've praid I didn't get that, Miss Jones, A pretty 168 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.399 big words, sir, whatever it was. 169 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.879 Subconsciously, all I mean is this, Jojo. We are aware 170 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.680 of a lot of things on the back of our minds, 171 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.759 that well, that we don't actually think. Out the back 172 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.839 of our minds notices a lot of little things we 173 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.920 don't even remember, and it adds all these little things 174 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.120 together and reaches some rather surprising conclusions. Now on them, 175 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.040 these conclusions a month to a knowledge of danger, and 176 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.839 the subconscious mind tries to flash us a warning, and 177 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.720 we feel uncomfortable because we cannot go back into our 178 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.519 unconscious minds and dig out the items that have gone 179 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.320 to make up the total. 180 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.200 Well, if you can't chakad, I guess. 181 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:40.320 But sometimes you can.

Am I? 204 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.399 Right, well, I wouldn't say he's really fond of her. 205 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.440 Maybe it's just because if Randa dies, the circus belongs 206 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.279 to his widow, and anyone can see the Randa's liable 207 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.639 to have apoplexy any day. 208 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.240 We don't give up drinking like a sponge. 209 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.279 Well, bless me, how did you guess, mister Romes. 210 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.480 Nothing persuades a woman to defy one man as quickly 211 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.480 as a knowledge that there's another man to back her up. 212 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.080 And who is this chap who isn't afraid of Randa? 213 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.600 It's Leonardo, the new strong man.

Besides, he's the first man 218 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:19.320 that ever did show her any attention. She's been pretty 219 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:20.240 lonely sometimes. 220 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.440 Do you think Randa suspects this certain attachment that I 221 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:24.200 don't know, misster Omes? 222 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.120 I wish toever and I did. 223 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.519 Seems he came home unexpected last night.

You're trying to build bricks without straw. 326 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.399 This isn't the case for the police.

Did happen? 332 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:18.080 WHOA? That was rather obvious? Genirond had opened the cage, 333 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.080 the enraged lion jumped past her, killed her husband with 334 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.840 a blow, and then returned to finish her off. 335 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.240 It was the back of Rhonda's skull that was crushed. 336 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.639 Remember well, naturally he turned and ran when he saw 337 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.519 the beast coming for. 338 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.879 Him, and the man's voice, the man we heard shouting 339 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:31.440 for help, or. 340 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.799 Holmes, don't be pig headed. Of course, Randa called for 341 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.720 help when he saw the lion was out of control. 342 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.399 You mean to tell me a man can still cry 343 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.399 out with the back of his head battered in Woa, No, 344 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.840 that is, and we could still hear his voice after 345 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.720 his wife's cries had been stilled. Whoa, of course. 346 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.559 Furthermore, Randa's body was lying with the head pointing towards 347 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.360 the cage, not away from it, as would have been 348 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.960 the case if he'd been running away and attacked from 349 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.279 the rear. 350 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.480 No, Watson, Randa was facing the cage when he was 351 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:56.039 struck down. 352 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.519 Struck down by the man who called for help, but 353 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:00.759 ran away when the lion ate it by the smell 354 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:02.759 of human blood, turned on missus Randa. 355 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:05.519 Yes, but that's why she kept saying, coward.
