You know I'm particularly excited about hearing your 10 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.719 story tonight. Last week you told us that Sherlock holmes 11 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.439 brother Microft Holmes. 12 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.039 Took part in the advantage. 13 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:34.399 That's quite right, mister bartell. 14 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.039 I didn't even know mister Holmes had a brother. I 15 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.320 wish you'd tell me something about it. 16 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.479 Well, Microft was seven years older than Charlotte, but the 17 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.840 difference between them was amazing. While Holmes was lean and 18 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.240 consumed with a burning energy, his elder brother was fat 19 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.399 and lazy. And yet Holmes has often told me that 20 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.000 Microft was his superior in passive observation and deduction. 21 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.280 Well, now that you've thoroughly whited my appetite, doctor, how's 22 00:00:59.320 --> 00:00:59.719 about it? 23 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.600 Very well, my boy, I suppose this story really began 24 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.480 in Microft Holmes's room at the Foreign Office in London. 25 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.159 Although I've said he was a lazy man, he did 26 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.239 hold a position of considerable importance. In fact, you may 27 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.200 remember that on more than one occasion Holmes has said 28 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.519 Micraft is the British government. But do get back to 29 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.079 my story. So on a June morning in nineteen hundred 30 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.680 and twelve, just for the First World War, but the 31 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.879 young man in the Foreign Office named Guy Travers stood 32 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.280 talking to Microft Holmes, who sat sprawled in an armchair 33 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.200 before him, his feet resting on another chair, his cupped 34 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.400 hands cradling his ample scup. 35 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.040 Mister Holmes, I say, mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep, 36 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:44.519 have you, sir? 37 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.519 No, travelers, I'm not asleep. I'm just waiting for you 38 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:48.480 to get to the point. 39 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.599 Well, sir, the point is that I'm on the track 40 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.120 of a most elusive female spy. Dear me, how exhausting. 41 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.239 She's dangerous, sir, very dangerous. She's not only a collective 42 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.959 of information, but a sort of central clearinghouse of military seak. 43 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.599 It's as well you seem to be a little young, Travis, 44 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:03.560 to be on such a case. 45 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.239 I asked for the assignment, sir. 46 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.120 Why female spies aren't as glamorous as they sound. 47 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.199 You know, no one knows that better than I do, sir. 48 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.560 You see, my brother got mixed up with this girl 49 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.080 two years ago who was cashier from his regiment and 50 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.120 committed suicide. 51 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:17.599 I'm sorry, Travis. 52 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.319 Tell me what you found out about her. You say 53 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:21.319 you've beat on her track. 54 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.639 I have traced her to a number of seaside towns, 55 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.240 but she keeps slipping through my fingers. 56 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:26.719 Have you a list of the towns? 57 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.599 Yes, sir, here you are no, no, no, you read 58 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.120 them to me. 59 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:30.680 Well. 60 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.319 I first got on a track at Torquay.

Several of those towns 65 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.680 are naval basis. 66 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.520 No, no, no, The list you just read me is 67 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.360 a recognized theatrical circuit. 68 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.280 Oh, I never thought of that. 69 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.879 The simplest way to track down your spy is to 70 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.800 find whether she was appearing in either a play or 71 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.439 variety act in all of the towns on the dates 72 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:57.520 covered by your inquiries. 73 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.240 Yes, mister Holmes, I'll do that at once and then 74 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.280 I'll report back to you. 75 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.159 Oh very well, if you must close the door quietly. 76 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:04.159 Won't you. 77 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:16.919 I'm confoundedly sleepy, mister Holmes. 78 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.400 Mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep again, have you? 79 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:19.599 Sir? 80 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.120 Oh it's you, travelers. 81 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.759 Well, how did you find out. 82 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.199 A great deal? Sir? The only theatrical show that was 83 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.520 appearing at all of those towns was a magician's act 84 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:28.759 called the Great Gandolpho. 85 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.319 I trust you went and saw the performance. 86 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.520 Yes, sir, last night at Hastings, and the magician's assistant 87 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.319 was a girl who looked exactly like the one I 88 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:37.840 saw my brother with two years ago. 89 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:39.879 Did you go backstage and talk to her? 90 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.680 Yes, sir. But it's a funny thing. For though she 91 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.360 looked exactly like the other girl, I swear she's in 92 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.599 the same one. This girl seemed utterly charming and sincere 93 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.400 when she told me she had never heard of my brother. 94 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:51.199 Hmm. 95 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.039 That's the danger of putting you, young fellows on. 96 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:53.879 A case of this kind. 97 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.680 A beautiful woman and a good actress can fool you 98 00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:57.639 nine times out of ten. 99 00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.800 What's your next move, travelers. 100 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.680 Well, sir, I was hoping preps.

The only way Gandalfo's pick could be 272 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.879 done is by using twin girls dressed identically, of course, 273 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.320 one in the cabinet on the stage and the other 274 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.879 in the cabinet hanging from the ceiling.

If you like good food, who doesn't, you'll 323 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.840 find that good food always tastes better when accompanied by 324 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.399 a good glass of Petree wine.

Well, mister Arms, 373 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.839 and how are you getting the last brended? 374 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:38.920 With? 375 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.599 Thanks? Don't you beaten? I don't mind admitting it. 376 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.480 I thought at first the one man it couldn't be 377 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.480 was Gondalful because he was on the stage all the time. 378 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.799 But then it seemed to me that he might have 379 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.240 fired a live bullet when he shot at the box. 380 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:52.480 On the ceiling. 381 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.519 The angle from the stage wouldn't turn side of the 382 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.720 bullet hole in the bottom of the box. Sergeant, that 383 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.880 shot must have been fired from the audience below. 384 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.160 Mister Elms, you know who did it, don't you? 385 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.920 Yes, Sergeant I do. I wish you'd tell me, mister Olmes, 386 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.480 it should be obvious. Sergeant, what's the new examine the corps? 387 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.039 Please tell the sergeant, you're finding some. 388 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.960 Girls lying on her back in the box. There was 389 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.920 a small hole in the forehead and a large one 390 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:15.599 in the nape. 391 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.319 Of her neck, exactly. And since the point of entrance 392 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.039 of a bullet is smaller than the point of exit, 393 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.240 it proves that you must have been shot lying in 394 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.680 the box from above. Once the box was in position 395 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.920 over the audience. She could have been shot only from below. Therefore, 396 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.680 the girl had already been killed when the box was 397 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:35.079 hoisted to the ceiling. Jew. 398 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.240 Yes, and only one person could have. 399 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.160 Done that, only two. How do you figure that out? 400 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.799 Mister Arms, The dead girl's sister had the same opportunity 401 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.440
