WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:04.000 And now I'm sure our good friend and host, doctor Watson. 2 00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:05.240 Is waiting, so let's go and join. 3 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:14.080 Him in at darting good evening here, down load it. 4 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.519 Dancing, Barry Chepper to night tonight. 5 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.160 Yes, that they've been in disgrace most of the days, 6 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:19.719 or what. 7 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.559 Have they been up to after these seals? 8 00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:23.760 Again? Oh, my boy? This time it was chickens. 9 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.000 They got into my neighbor's coop and had a delightful time. 10 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.600 Fortunately there were no casualties. But I'm afraid that my 11 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.200 my good neighbor policy has suffered a slight diplomatic strain. 12 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:36.759 But you've come here to. 13 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.240 Listen to Sherlock Holmes's adventures, not those of my dogs. 14 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.880 So drow up your usual chair and make yourself comfortable, 15 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.439 and I'll get on with tonight's story. 16 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.520 Last week, Gotty, you told us it was a case 17 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.520 in which Sherlock Holmes found the solution without having meeting 18 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:51.280 any of the suspect. 19 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.679 That's quite correct. About as remarkable as an exhibition of long. 20 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.560 Distance detection as I ever recall, but judge the story 21 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.439 for your solf, my boy, in the autumn of nineteen 22 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.359 hundred and three, and Sherlock Holmes was about to retire 23 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.719 to his bee farm on the Sussex Downs. I must confess, 24 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.879 mister Bartell, that my heart was heavy during those last 25 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.519 few weeks we spent at Baker Street. I thought of 26 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.400 the countless adventures if we'd share together. I remembered those 27 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.680 many evenings of quiet comradeship and companionship, a. 28 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.400 Far blazing away in the hearth. 29 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.400 As homes lay back in the shadows, playing his beloved violin. 30 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.799 And then, mister Bartell, has so often happened, there'd be 31 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.640 a violent jungle on our doorbell, and some wretched soul 32 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.280 in misery would be standing before us and pouring out 33 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.959 his troubles. Suddenly the violin would be discarded, and Holmes, 34 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.040 a dreamer, would become Holmes, the man of action. Come 35 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.439 wat's in the games of foot, he'd say, And in 36 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.079 a few moments later we'd be rattling off in a 37 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.879 cab through the foggy gas at London Street. 38 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.519 Yes, doctor, I can imagine it was pretty hard for 39 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.040 you to leave Baker Street. 40 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.439 It was, mister Boutell. 41 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.200 However, as it transpired, there was one more adventure awaiting 42 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.319 us before we left, a few days before the actual move. 43 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.240 I persuaded Holmes to take an afternoon off from his 44 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.680 packing and accompany me on a visit to the laboratory 45 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.520 of an old friend of mine, a Professor Jean Boulain. 46 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.240 He was an eminent French scientist engaged in very important 47 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.080 work at the London University. But by the way, this 48 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.080 was at a period, mister Bartel, when radium. 49 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.520 Was something extremely new and extremely rare. 50 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.199 The university had just acquired a minute but invaluable portion 51 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.240 of the element, and Professor Bouhlin was in charge of 52 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.479 a research connected with it. I can remember the picture 53 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.159 so well as Holmes stood Albarte talking with keen interest, 54 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:44.840 with a distinguished side. 55 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.280 Amazing, quite amazing. 56 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.080 I think that this tiny leaden vessel contains one of 57 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.120 the most precious substances in the world. 58 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.439 Yes, mister Holmes, they have a great deal to thank 59 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.199 Madame Couri for this new element. May force us entirely 60 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.039 to advise our concepts of all physical structure. 61 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.240 Your search is a great responsibility. 62 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.759 Bull it is Watson. 63 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.840 I must profess that I wish the authorities here would 64 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.639 give me a free hand. I see such infinite possibilities 65 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.319 in the use, particularly the medical use of radium, but 66 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.960 my conservative superior seemed to regard it only as a 67 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.879 toy as scientific curiosity. 68 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.639 Limit your experiments according as birth exactly. 69 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.120 I'm given no opportunity to do anything that's in the 70 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.719 least radical disheartening. 71 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.759 How can re search ever get anywhere along those lines? 72 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.960 It is a great misfortune, Holmes, that you've determined to 73 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.520 attire to your bee farm this project. We could use 74 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.719 such an analytical mind as yours, professor. 75 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.520 How many assistants do you have working with your buller? Three? 76 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.479 But none of them are very inspired. 77 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.800 I'm afraid my best assistant is a mania in Barker. 78 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.560 He's a little on the conservative side too, but he 79 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.840 is extremely adroit. The other two a young man called 80 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.280 and the girl Gladys Hughes. They mean well, but coast 81 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.560 I fear is the only word to describe them. 82 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:09.360 Where do you lie? 83 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.199 I was just amused to observe that in describing my assistance, 84 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.319 I chanced to be literal as well as figurative. It's 85 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.759 odd that random symbolism can sometimes, But never mind that 86 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.879 you would like to see those still the laboratory. I 87 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.959 have some extraordinarily interesting photographic plates that they called the 88 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.519 emanations of radium over here. 89 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.040 I think you will find them most fascinating. 90 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.279 Baker Street, particularly when our rooms are full of packing cases, 91 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:52.079 seems rather grab after the scantific stimulations of Professor Bulan's laboratory. 92 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.639 Jabe grab. 93 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.439 Even if we hadn't been the same, I feel frightful 94 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:57.319 the press. 95 00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:59.560 I just don't know what I'm going to do with our. 96 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.199 The young man Watson and a susceptible one. You'll marry again, No, 97 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:05.079 I won't. 98 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.160 You will old Chap, and you'll end up by being 99 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.879 glad that your old roommate, your difficult, rather unsociable old 100 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.000 room mate, is living in retirement on the Sussex down rubbish. 101 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.240 I shan't feel a living of the kind in any case. 102 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.399 I don't think you'll be able to stay in retirement 103 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.759 for long. Your mind as much to a left to 104 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.360 be satisfied by being a sort of midwife to a 105 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.519 bunch of beastly beeble. 106 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.759 Oh, dear Watson, I feel this will never eat honey again. 107 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:30.959 Yes, you can laugh. 108 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.399 Homes, but I could see how excited you were when 109 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.759 Bulla suggested that you might help him with his radium experiments. 110 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.879 Aftering suggestion, I must have pick my dear fellow just 111 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.360 to say, oh, now hoo, the devil's that. 112 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.519 From the urgency of the tag on the bell pull, 113 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:44.160 I'd say that. 114 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.759 It was a client and don't head him off. Forty 115 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.199 want chap. 116 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:47.560 Yes, I'll do my best. 117 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.199 Oh, I'll watson explain that I'm no longer in practice. 118 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.720 Two late homes. He's best pass Missus Hudson. 119 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.040 Here he comes, rushing up the stairs. 120 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.160 I can't found it. 121 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.600 I beg your pardon, sir. No, I am not sure. 122 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.800 Then you must be missed Holmes. Here's my name, sir, 123 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.600 But may I ask what accounts for your rather wild 124 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.560 wind entrance? My housekeeper, Missus Hudson, I haven't any time 125 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.560 to consider etiquette. My sister, Gladys Hughes has vanished, vanished 126 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.240 into thin air. You've got to find it for me, 127 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:11.879 mister Holmes. 128 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:13.560 I'll pay you any fee you name, but you've got 129 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.160 to find mister Hughes. I'm extremely sorry that your sister 130 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.959 has vanished, but I'm afraid that I can do nothing 131 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:18.360 to help you. 132 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.040 I'm retiring, I'm giving up my practice. If you won't 133 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.199 help me, I'll go to someone who will. 134 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.560 That's exactly what I mean, sir, I suggest that you 135 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.600 go to the police, or if you insist on a 136 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.600 private investigator, I can strongly recommend mister Martin Hewitt's. Yes, 137 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.920 his address is thirty nine Punt Street, Knightsbridge.

That was the 143 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.079 name of what a Professor Buller's assistance was. 144 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.120 That true, follow, but it's probably only a coincidence. Both 145 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.279 Christian and surnames are extremely common ones. 146 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.720 Well, I I have a feeling that it may not 147 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:57.439 be a coming. 148 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.240 Come now, my dear fellow, you try and embroil me 149 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.360 in a fresh adventure.

My son 154 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.279 Jeffrey Barker has disappeared. 155 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.360 I'm sorry, missus Barker, but I'm afraid I'm homes. 156 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.879 Jeffrey Barker was the name of Professor Buller's chief assistant. 157 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.920 Watson, please believe me when I say that I am 158 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.000 not being bageled into any further. 159 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.399 And Missus Taylor, I'm sorry, but I can't help you. 160 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.279 But mister Holmes, it's my husband. 161 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.079 He's disappeared. 162 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.319 We've only been married three months from now. 163 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:41.439 It's terrible. 164 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.839 I've been so worried ever since he started to work 165 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.600 on that strange new radium with Professor Jean Below Homes. 166 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.800 You can't pretend it's coincidence in Alana Gann's hues, Jeffrey 167 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.240 Barker and now Taylor, the three assistants. 168 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:52.519 Of Professor Buller. 169 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.399 I know it, Watson, Missus Taylor, the moving van will 170 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.480 be hit brow to take my things to Sussex.

Do you 172 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:02.879 understand that retired? 173 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.240 Yes, another telegram photo homes. 174 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.759 For the fourth today. Why would Scotland Yard leave me alone. 175 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.040 To put a strange business. 176 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.399 Three people engaged in the search of this new element radium, 177 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.959 We've all disappeared within forty hours. 178 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.120 Scotland Yard needs your. 179 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.160 Help at them earn their salaries. My dear Watsons and 180 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.639 I've helped them for the last time. Well, let's see 181 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.879 how they've catched their latest diffusion. Oh this isn't from 182 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:34.960 Scotland yard, it's from. 183 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.759 My brother Micraft. 184 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.720 Micraft, what's you gotta say is. 185 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.759 Now Professor Bullan has disappeared Great Scott and the radium 186 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:43.039 with him. 187 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.320 Surely the pattern is obvious. Shrlock. 188 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.799 Radium must be found, could solve the problem for you, 189 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.639 But I'm too lazy. Consider what a flashy case for 190 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:55.039 you to retire? On regards Micraft, the old devil terms, 191 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:55.720 this is shocking. 192 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:57.399 My old friend Bulla has. 193 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.039 Disappeared, Watson, and now my brother asks me to to gate. Hmm, 194 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.039 the pressure becomes irresistible. Very well, I bow to Paeton 195 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.799 postponed my retirement for a few hours. Good man, you 196 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.960 know you'll you'll never really retire oously, as my crop says, 197 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.840 there's an obvious pattern in this case. 198 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.120 Our first step, of course, will be to interview all 199 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.159 the doctors who freak patients without charge. 200 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.840 Why, surely that's obvious all obviously here. 201 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.279 I don't know why you always leave me in the dark. 202 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:25.639 Well, what makes you laugh? 203 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.600 He left in the dark. It's just like the old 204 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.200 times in it home. Come on, old fellow, let's go. 205 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:45.840 The game's a foot, doctor McDonald, This is mister Sherlock home. 206 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.600 Mister Sherlock Holmes.

Getting restless Watson. 226 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:56.600 Yes, I am a little. 227 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.200 We've been waiting outside missus Pendall's house over now. 228 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.399 Do we not the door? No? 229 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.960 No, no, my chap, we mustn't fight, man. I hope 230 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.759 that she's going to lead us to our quarry. You 231 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:12.120 see the doors opening. A woman's coming out. Yes, it 232 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.480 is Missus Pendle, beyond doubt with that bandage around the 233 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.360 upper part of her face. 234 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.600 Hello, she's turning down the street. We're going to follow hers. 235 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.360 But naturally, but let's give us a Let's give her 236 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.799 a start to me. We don't want her to suppot us. 237 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.159 Well while we're waiting, perhaps you clear? What are two 238 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.279 points for me? I'm still very much in the dark. 239 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.559 The pleasure chap puzzles you're well one of the things 240 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.960 that I hunted. Well, we've given her enough of us start. 241 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.919 Let's follow up very well, but we'll kill you. 242 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.799 Asked me what I didn't understand? 243 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.039 Two things puzzle me. 244 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.320 What did Micoff mean by the pattern of the case? 245 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.559 Why are we following a poor. 246 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.960 Sticle lady through the London street? 247 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.879 I'll ask answer the first question, and I think the 248 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.759 answer to the second. Roboso the parent. The pattern of 249 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:54.559 the case is clear. 250 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.399 Professor buland his three assistants have vanished together with the radium, 251 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.080 but their disappearance is not simultaneous. Had they been so, 252 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.960 it would have been a transparrent. 253 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:04.200 Case of theft. 254 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.440 But with the disappearances gradual rather than simultaneous, the emphasis 255 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:09.919 has been subtly shifted. 256 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.360 Yees, I can see that, Holmes, But what do you 257 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:13.000 suppose is the. 258 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.120 Back of the whole business can't be a simple case 259 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.200 of theft. Radium is enormously valuable, but it'd be hard 260 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.559 stuff to sell again. 261 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.200 Not to an unscrupulous criminal with a knowledge of medicine. Watson. 262 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.639 My own theory, and I admit at the moment that 263 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.840 it's purely a theory, is that Professor Bulan was worried 264 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.600 because he was so hampered in his research. You remember 265 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.519 that he stressed his great faith in the medical values 266 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:34.639 of the new element radium. 267 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:35.639 Yes, yes, yes he did. 268 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.000 It's more than possible that he places the rights of 269 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.879 science about the rights of property, that he's determined that 270 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.840 he and his group will carry on their invaluable research 271 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.919 unhampered by the conservative restraints of the university. 272 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.759 I see what you mean, Holmes, But how does missus 273 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.080 pendle the poor woman that we're following into the picture, 274 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:51.720 because one. 275 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.799 Of the chief lines of radium research on the continent 276 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.600 so far has been with her sort of trouble. Professor 277 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.759 Bullan's obvious move, if my theory is correct, would be 278 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.440 countact povertystricant patience, promise them relief, induce them to abandon 279 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.279 their regular treatments and submit to him. 280 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.519 By Joy's holmes, that seems. 281 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.320 Perfectly logical, And yet I can't believe that Buller would missus. 282 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.759 Ben Gorton has reached her destination. She's turned on the driveway. 283 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.320 Yes, she's walking up to what looks like an asserted 284 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.080 warrior chap. 285 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.559 Don't get her out of our sight. 286 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.559 She's opened the door without knocking. She's gone in. 287 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.639 We'll wait here for a moment or two, then we'll 288 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.600 follow her. I have a feeling that your old friend, 289 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.960 Professor Buller is not far away way since you're. 290 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.960 Probably right, but I hope we can do something to 291 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.399 protect him from the consequences of. 292 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.679 What he's done. It might easily mean the finish of 293 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:40.759 her brilliant career. 294 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.759 Everything in my power, but you know as well as 295 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.000 I do. 296 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.440 Look, Look, look, look she pals coming out. 297 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:51.679 Yes, she's in tubble. Come on, missus Pendle, what's wrong. 298 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.360 I don't know how you know my name or will 299 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.519 you plea? But he ask me what's wrong? 300 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.200 They tell me to come here to this address and 301 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.879 I'll find a doctor to do deal my face that 302 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:02.559 comes to here. 303 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.240 And what did you find, madam? 304 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:06.000 A corpse? 305 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:07.759 That's what I find. 306 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.679 A dead man lie there in a great pool of 307 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.720 his own blood. 308 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:23.919 You ll have the rest of doctor Watson's story in 309 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.639 just a second. So I'm just going to remind you 310 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.120 that there's one wine which everyone likes and which is 311 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.720 good on any occasion. Petrie California is sherry. Do you 312 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.679 want to swell wine to serve before dinner? The perfect 313 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.000 answer is Petree Sherry. If you want a wine that's 314 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.080 delicious after dinner or later in the evening when you're 315 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.039 just talking things over with your friends again, you want 316 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:50.039 Petree Sherry. And if you want a wonderful wine to 317 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.759 serve at cocktail time, naturally you want Petre sherry. Sherry 318 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.679 is a wine that's good at any time. And Petrie, well, 319 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.600 Petri is the wine it's good. 320 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.039 All the time. Well, doctor Watson. 321 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.960 So, following the tracks of all Missus Pendle led you 322 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:07.559 to a corpse. 323 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.559 Yes, of course, Sherlock Holmes and I went at once 324 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.759 into the broken down warehouse to examine the scene of 325 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.200 the tragedy. Slumped over the desk in a dark and 326 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.759 chabby room, afflicting candle giving him a carb liking to 327 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.159 the scene was the body of a man. I think 328 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.519 I knew it's identity even before Holmes turned to me. 329 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:31.279 He said, as a bull, all right, Watson. 330 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:33.120 Murdered the case. 331 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:34.679 Yes, but examine him for yourself, will you? 332 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.759 Yes, there's no doubt about it. 333 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.240 This wound couldn't have been self inflicted. The right oracle 334 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.600 of the heart has been pierced. 335 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.960 I'm gonna go with your comid. Death took place, Uh 336 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.360 not more. 337 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.440 Than a couple of hours. 338 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.480 Ago, I should say on how to reconstruct the killing. 339 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.559 The murderer came up from behind Boula as he sat here, 340 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.120 crypton armor around his throat. Yes, see the finger marks 341 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.559 on the right hand side of the neck here, then 342 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.840 stabbed him in the chest, then with do the weapon 343 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:13.279 and disappeared, leaving no traces confounded. Dusty room is an 344 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:17.000 ideal place for recording footprints, but have a doesn't Different 345 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.960 prints here, including missus Pendall's hello, here's the prince. A 346 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.200 smaller woman sho. 347 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.080 Who must be out of Galet Hughes his assistant. 348 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:26.399 Doubtedly, but that really proves nothing except that she was 349 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.399 here with him, in the fact that we were convinced 350 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.679 of anyway. The question is, come on, let's go outside 351 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:32.720 and talk to missus Pendle again. 352 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.919 Poor buller, what a shocking way to. 353 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.639 Die, What a great loss to science. 354 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.120 I suppose the murderer must have stolen the radium. We 355 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:44.440 found no trace of it in there. 356 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.000 Undoubtedly the possession of the radium as the motive for 357 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:52.919 the murderer. Missus Pendall, the poor man is dead, ain't tis? 358 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:54.320 I'm afraid so, Madam. 359 00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.360 I knew it. I never should have come here, I 360 00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:58.399 never should have left. 361 00:16:58.200 --> 00:16:58.960 Doctor McDonald. 362 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.600 Missus Pendall, let me ask you a question. 363 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.840 I can't be answering no question, sir.

Yes, sir, and then Watson, 381 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.359 we must keep on the track of the radium that 382 00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:45.759 perhaps is more important than any life. 383 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:47.240 How are we going to do that? We haven't a 384 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:47.920 clue to go on. 385 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.359 Remember, the Professor Bullan's three assistants are still missing.

She came back today. 395 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.559 She'd just been down to the seaside for a short rest, 396 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.960 and she'd forgotten to let me know. I'm sorry to 397 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.359 have bothered you. May I see your sister at once, please, 398 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.759 I'm sorry, mister Holmes, but she's out just now. I 399 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.680 don't know where she's gone or what time she'll be back. 400 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.640 Missus Baker, I've come to you about your son's disappearance. 401 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.720
