WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:04.360 Now, doctor Watson, how about the singular affair of the 2 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:05.400 dying schoolboy. 3 00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.119 Well, mister Bell, that strange adventure again on a stormy 4 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.279 September evening in Baker Street, many many years ago. All 5 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.720 day along, the wind had screamed, the rain had beaten 6 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.359 against our windows. Shortly after dinner there was the old 7 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.120 familiar jangle on our front door bell, and a few 8 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.120 moments later missus Hudson ushered a distinguished visitor into the room. 9 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.519 As he stood there in front of the flickering firelight, 10 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.600 I could see that he was a good looking man, 11 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.159 and also that he was in a state of considerable excitement. 12 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.679 Now, Lord Manders, if you will just give us the facts. 13 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.640 Well, mister Holmes, three years ago I was a passenger 14 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.240 on that ill fitted ship with Sophie Andersen. She was 15 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.039 waked in the gill and I was the only survivor. 16 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.039 I clung to a piece of broken spar and was 17 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.039 washed ashore. And after that, for over two years I 18 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.640 lived alone on an island in the Indulution. Naturally, when 19 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.679 Sophie Andersen founded, I was believed to be dead. My 20 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.200 young for the Eric who is next in line inherited 21 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.880 the estate and the guardianship of our uncle. 22 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.200 Inquired a lot of confusion when you arrived home this year, 23 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:08.159 Lord Mandon. 24 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.959 There was doctor Watson, but not for the reason you suppose. 25 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:14.959 I landed in England to find that my brother had 26 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.560 died last December. He died under very peculiar circumstances. That's 27 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.959 why I've conf fumes to Holmes. What were those circumstances. 28 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.680 My uncle sent Eric to a school on the Wilshmorls, 29 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.799 not far from Cardiff, a school owns Punson be Hall. 30 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.640 He died in the school in Thumbry. There supposed live pneumonia. 31 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.599 And you have some reason to believe it was not pneumonia. 32 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:37.560 Nothing definite. 33 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.239 I've been down to the school, but doctor Punson, to 34 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.760 the owner, was too ill to see me. However, I 35 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.000 did talk to a frightening woman there who's the matron 36 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.400 of the place, and missus Arkwright. I became suspicious, so 37 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.680 I stayed on and for a few days made some 38 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:53.680 local inquiries. 39 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.120 With what results. 40 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.719 Punson de Hall has a black name with the villagers, 41 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.159 mister Holmes, five boys died bell in the last two 42 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.519 years under circumstances similar to my brother's. 43 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.159 I presume that you immediately had an accounting with your uncle. 44 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.800 My uncle had settled another account before my return, mister Holmes, 45 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.159 he died of a heart attack last February, but I 46 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.319 am certain he was responsible for Eric's death. You see, 47 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.080 he'stood to inherit the estate. It me sounded incredible, but 48 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.439 I believe Eric was murdered at Hunsen Dehor. 49 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.000 Murdered in a boyish school. Oh, come, come, come, sir. 50 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.360 Such things can't happen in this nineteenth century of. 51 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.840 World, but they can, Watson, and do. Unfortunately, you don't 52 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.240 mean it, I do. A private school situated in a 53 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.360 desolate spot and operated by an unprincipled scoundrel could provide 54 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.360 excellent and profitable opportunities for removing unwonted relatives. 55 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.120 The ghastly thought, mister Holmes. I know that Eric's dad. 56 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.560 Nothing can bring him to life again, but I can 57 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.039 try and avenge his death and bring his murder to justice. 58 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.840 You will help me, won't you, Yes, Lord Banders, I will. 59 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.879 If these shocking occurrences have been taking place, we may 60 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:03.879 be able at least to prevent further tragedies. Watson, suppose 61 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.039 we join Lord Manda's on the west of England Express 62 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.240 tonight and tomorrow see what can be done to penetrate 63 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.719 the black clouds that surround punsonby Hall. 64 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.360 We're walking in the wrong directions to homes the schools 65 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.599 behind us, and before going there, I thought we might 66 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.719 profitably player visit here in the village to lou Ellen Coffin. 67 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.919 Who's here the local undertaker? 68 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:40.000 Undertake Coffin?

I'm just a little hurt that you 213 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.720 both thought I was stupid enough to be fooled so easily. 214 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.240 You seem dreadfully sleepy, Doctor Watson. 215 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.200 I gotta go to sleep. 216 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:18.080 And sleep well, my friend. I only hope that you 217 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.159 don't have too much trouble waking up. 218 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.360 In just a moment, we'll find out just how much 219 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.360 trouble Dr Watson does have in waking up. But first, 220 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.240 have you noticed how men are taking a greater interest 221 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.879 in their appearance lately? Competition today is keener than ever, 222 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.840 and I'm sure you'll agree one of the greatest assets 223 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:53.159 to a man's appearance is well groomed hair. So men, 224 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.240 let me give you this tip about CREML hair tonic 225 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.120 and why it's preferred by so many of America's most 226 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:04.919 successful and prosperous executives. Kremmeel k r e m L 227 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.799 keeps dry, ruffled hair neatly in place all day long. 228 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.000 It gives it such a handsome, healthy looking luster too. 229 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:18.120 Yet Kremmel never leaves hair with that offensive, cheap, greasy look. 230 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.320 It never leaves hair and scalp full of sticky goo 231 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:25.120 which feels so dirty. Kremmel always looks and smells so 232 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:29.799 clean on both hair and scalp. It gives hair that attractive, natural, 233 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:33.480 he man look, which certainly hits the jackpot with the ladies. 234 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.519 And don't forget Kremmel does lots more than keep hair 235 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:41.279 looking handsome. Let me repeat, Kremmel does lots more than 236 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.799 keep hair looking handsome. It makes hair feel softer, easier 237 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.440 to manage. At the same time, it removes dandroflakes and 238 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:55.000 makes the scalp feel so clean and invigorated. Men use 239 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.720 Kremmel hair tonic daily and see if you don't say 240 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:08.919 my hair never looked better, my scalp never felt cleaner. Well, 241 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.159 doctor Watson, you certainly left me teetering on the edge 242 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:11.799 of my chair. 243 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.639 We left you drugged in the school master's steady. 244 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:15.639 What happened next? 245 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.679 Well, my first conscious recollection was to find myself, with 246 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.879 the violence pounding in my head, lying in a small 247 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.159 clearing between some trees. Bending over me with a look 248 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.120 of deep concern on his face, was my old friend, 249 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.360 Sherlock Holmes. Watson, Watson, no channel, you are right, yes, yes, 250 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.559 vital headacheome What are you doing there? And there was 251 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.000 clothes with that group of mustache. 252 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.600 It proved a good enough passport to secure the employment 253 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.559 at the stables here? 254 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.759 How did you get me out of? Punson been studied and. 255 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.000 The stables command an excellent view of the school building. 256 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.440 Your long absence watted me. And when doctor Punson be 257 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.600 finally appeared alone, I became suspicious. So I took advantage 258 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.879 of his absence, slipped through the study window and rescue. 259 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.440 You'll thank heavens you did. He gave me drud. It's 260 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.639 a funny thing, Holmes. I was probably delirious, but I 261 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.559 swear that I saw a woman's handbag on the table, 262 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.240 a pink and black beaded bag, and it was alive 263 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:12.559 and moved. 264 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.720 Great Heavens, that confouns my worst suspicions. Did you say too, No, 265 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.159 it wasn't there when I came in. Somebody, probably Misses Artwright, 266 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.120 removed it. Watson, you were never closer to death. I 267 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.000 blame myself for having allowed you to tackle doctor punsonby alone. 268 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.200 Don't reproach yourself homes Where where's Lord. 269 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.679 Manders waiting at the inn for an answer to my telegram? 270 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:34.919 He is to meet us later behind the lodge gates. 271 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.759 What's our next move? 272 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.120 Go to the stables, dirt you up a bit and 273 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.159 get your change of clothes. Then we'll return to the attack. 274 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.799 There's desperate work ahead. 275 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:54.399 Of us. 276 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:56.960 Here. 277 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.600 This wayser what my man so alarmed? 278 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.679 Lord Mande not watch now, I wouldn't have recognized you. 279 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:04.919 What's happened, trouble? 280 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.159 I had consume a disguise too. You brought an answer 281 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:09.279 to Holmes's telegram? 282 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:10.759 Yes, in my pocket? 283 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.600 Where is he? He went over to the main school 284 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:14.519 building and asked me. 285 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:16.559 To do the things that the second cook and the 286 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.960 siitulated woman of dubious charms is most susceptible to fattery. 287 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.159 Over a glass of stout sheet quite inadvertently gave me 288 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.759 three vital clues. What were they? Firstly that all five 289 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.279 of the unfortunate boys dined in the same small room. Secondly, 290 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.759 that that fatal room is directly under the room of 291 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.759 missus Archreich. 292 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.639 And she's capable of anything if you ask me. 293 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.080 Third clue makes our next tape an urgent one. A 294 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.639 boy by the name of Carruther's Miner was moved into 295 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.879 that room yesterday. He's supposed to have an extremely bad cold. 296 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:49.200 Doctor Punsonby is afraid it might turn into pneumonia. Good heaven, exactly, Watson. 297 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.000 I suggest we lose no time in visiting Corruther's Miner, 298 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.480 though I'm sure doctor Punsonby would consider it unethical. This 299 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.919 is one occasion when another doctor's opinion is absolutely vital. 300 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.240 They are there carothers. This is doctor Watson. He's come 301 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:18.919 to make you well. 302 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:20.279 You can't make me. 303 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:20.639 Who will. 304 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:25.679 Doctor parson Bie says I've gotten amonia. Oh nonsense, my boy, 305 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.639 You're gonna side gold at all. If Doctor poyson Be 306 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.840 says I've got pneumonia, the moonia is what I've got. 307 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.000 Nothing of the kind, my boy, Nothing of the kind. 308 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.720 Watson. You've noticed this bed is anchor to the floor. 309 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.480 It can't be moved. What does that suggest you? 310 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.320 Yeah, it reminds me of tut Bran dtr Rilott. But 311 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:46.320 I don't see any. 312 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.960 Bell pull, no, Watson, no bell rope is needed because 313 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.600 no murderous snake is involved in this plot. But look 314 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.120 up there, directly above the bed a small trap door 315 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.360 leading from Missus Arkwright's room. Now the whole picture is clear. 316 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.039 The trap door is strange marks on the dead boys, 317 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:05.079 the beaded bag that you saw, What was that? I 318 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.079 don't know. Lord Manders is standing guard in the hallway. 319 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:10.960 This is doctor possibly he's come to look. 320 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.880 At my pneumonia. 321 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.880 Missus Arkwright, I know you were expecting Lord Manders. 322 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:17.680 He's lying in the hallway. 323 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:25.119 He was looking in the wrong direction, and fortunately for him. 324 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.079 Missus Arkwright, I put that revolver away. If I were you, 325 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.880 I doubt if you know how to handle it. I 326 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.559 assure you that I do. Having used the button of 327 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:35.359 Brittania friends so successfully, should prove that fact. 328 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:46.799 Revolver, Missus Arkwright, rob the revolver, I say, Holmes, he's faked. 329 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.799 Good help me carry out to a room. 330 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:50.559 Well, what about young Carrothers, Lord Manders. 331 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.160 We must remove them to a place of staty, and 332 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.000 then Watson. All that remains is to call on the 333 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.759 giggling doctor Punson day. 334 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.799 It's very dark in here, Holmes. I don't like this 335 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:14.279 at all. 336 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:22.400 Quiet some it is coming good evening. Doctors, let me 337 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:23.759 light your desk lamp for you. 338 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.039 You start with me, Who are you? 339 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.359 What are you doing in nice study? My name is 340 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:31.200 Sherlock Holmes. Doctor Watson, you've already met Yes, we've met. 341 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.799 You, scoundrel. 342 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.759 Oh, yes, my friend Scotston. 343 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.319 I was expecting you both. 344 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.440 And by the way, please put that revolver away if 345 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.359 fire alarms make me nervous. 346 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.000 And doctor Panson beIN. I know how those five boys 347 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.640 were murdered. I would venture the opinion that you once 348 00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:48.799 spent some time for the sake of your health, in America, 349 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:51.039 in Arizona Territory, I'd say. 350 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:54.519 I wonder what makes you think that, mister Holmes. I've 351 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.000 never been in America in my life. 352 00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.359 And yet I'm certain that someone here spent some time 353 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.000 in the vicinity of the healer River Well. 354 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:07.279 I understand that missus Arkwright was in America a few years. 355 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.920 Ago, Missus Artwright, Doctor Punsonby, is it possible you're hoping 356 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.319 to transfer our suspicions to your accomplice, My. 357 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:18.759 Accomplice, You talk in riddles, mister Holmes, is most confusing. 358 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.599 Then shall we be more specific? You consider Corulla's minder 359 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:23.960 to be quite ill.
