That's the answer. 200 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:19.039 I mean that on his. 201 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.200 Deathbed Hacker might have told some of the secret of 202 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:21.519 where the. 203 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.480 Juror is hidden precisely. The key to that secret must 204 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:30.600 line these files. Let me see, yes, yes, I recall 205 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.639 the case vivided. Now there was a small piece of 206 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.200 paper found on Rothea's body and apparently meaningless series of 207 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.960 numbers and figures. It was here in the file. Now 208 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.559 she's got away with it, Watson. I deserve to be 209 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.879 kicked from here to Night's homes and listen to me. 210 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.559 I was going through the file a few weeks ago 211 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.799 making some notes of my stories, and I remember coming 212 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.919 across that tipt of paper. I covered the figures down 213 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.480 my notebook. 214 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.840 Bro bol Watson, I don't know what I'd ever do. 215 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.080 Hold through just a minute, just a minute, here there, here, 216 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:03.600 we are here because T two N three O two 217 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:05.480 S five. 218 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.080 Oh, what the deuce? Does it mean? Homes? 219 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.919 I don't know, but I think I may have a glimmering. 220 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.320 Get your coat and hat, old Chap, the game's afoot. 221 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.480 Where are we going to Scotland Yard? And then I 222 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.600 hope we'll be on the track of the Shrewsbury Emeralds. 223 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.080 I say, Holmes, if you don't want to talk, you 224 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.120 might at least tell me why we're driving about in 225 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:37.639 this dreary part of London. 226 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:41.080 I don't care for it at all, especially at dusk. 227 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.559 Sorry, Watson, I was thinking inspectorless. Charat has just informed 228 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.600 me that he's unearthed a new clue in the case. Oh. 229 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.279 It seems that when Rothey was hiding from the police, 230 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.240 he worked for a time in this Maple Oh well, 231 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.000 at a place known as Gaunt's Castle. It's somewhere here 232 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.159 off the Island Road directly. It's the sort of museum 233 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:03.240 run by a certain eccentric man named Jezra Gaunt. Its 234 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.480 maintained to distinction is that it contains a catacomb, or 235 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.720 to be precise, several catacombs, drawing an ideal place to 236 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.559 hide stolen jewels. 237 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.840 I'd say catacombs here in London impossible, not at all, Watson, 238 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.519 But I thought they were vast underground combs only found 239 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:17.960 in Nicolas. 240 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.279 Now these are reputed to be reproductions of the early 241 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.639 catacombs of Road gracious me. Apparently mister Gaunt found these 242 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.279 deep underground cabins some years ago, and their natural contours 243 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.039 made it possible for him to convert them into a 244 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.919 modern counterpart of the Italian bodies. 245 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:32.360 All right, Kevin. 246 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.399 This is the place. 247 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.080 Here you are keep the change, Thank. 248 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:45.960 You, Governor. Come on, get up. So this is Grunce Castle. 249 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.480 I been looking closed like a prison. It's getting dark. 250 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.279 Why can't we come back in the morning, homes. 251 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.360 And I think there's somebody watching us through the people 252 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:56.039 in the door. 253 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:56.559 As there would be. 254 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.799 Ah huh, he's opening it. 255 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.799 Good evening, gentlemen. You're late. I was just knocking my 256 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:04.960 museum up for the night. 257 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.639 You are, mister Jester Gone, Yes, sir, your service. My 258 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.519 name is Sherlock Holmes and this is my friend, doctor Watson. 259 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.440 How do you do mister Gone, mister Holmes and Dr Watson. Well, 260 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:20.120 this is a great honor. Please step inside, gentlemen. I'll 261 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.480 turn the gas up, eh. I hope you'll find the 262 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.320 castle as I call it interesting. 263 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.399 Mister Gaunt, time is vitally important. Some three years ago 264 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.320 you had a man working for you as a laborer. 265 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:32.879 His name was rot Yer. 266 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.000 I can't recall any man of that name, mister Holmes. 267 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.679 He was a Frenchman, mister Gaunt, does that. 268 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:38.360 Mean anything to go? 269 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.679 I'm sorry, but in this part of London there are 270 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.360 many foreigners, and many of them have worked for me. 271 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.240 The this maner of Favor was a jewel thief. He 272 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.440 is known to have hidden some very vailable emeralds, and 273 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.879 it seems quite possible he may have hidden them here. 274 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.919 Dear me, stolen jewels in my catacoubs. 275 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.440 Mister Holmes, Oh no, I want you to give us 276 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.720 your permission to deduct a detailed examination of your caves 277 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.799 and to take some measurements. Yes, of course, what an 278 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.159 extraordinary coincidence. Coincidence. Yes, a man and a woman were. 279 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.039 Here a little while ago. 280 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.519 I didn't pay much attention to them as they entered, 281 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.120 but I happened to observe them later in the catacombs. 282 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:14.159 They were taking. 283 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.240 Measurements, like Joe Malmes, go on, mister Gaunt. 284 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.279 When they saw her was watching them, they were very 285 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.799 evasive and left after a few moments. Until you mentioned 286 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.519 taking measurements, the whole incident seemed unimportant. 287 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.559 It was far from unimportant, mister Gaunt. They're desperate. We 288 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.840 must work fast. They would start our search at once. 289 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.840 As of course, of course, I'll go and like to guess. 290 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.480 Holmes, missus Frampton, that a compass attack may must have 291 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.720 come here straight from Baker. 292 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.519 Street heres and over back troubably tonight, it's a race 293 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:41.039 against time. 294 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.000 So far, they apparently haven't succeeded in deciphering the code, 295 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.519 and either of we Watson is a battle of whits. 296 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.039 Oh rue. 297 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.320 They won the first round. Let's hope we can win 298 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:49.799 the second. 299 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.159 Doctor Watson will continue his story in just a moment. 300 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.919 In the meantime, I'd like to say, and just see 301 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.559 if you don't agree with me. Any man who wants 302 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:12.519 that modern prosperous appearance should certainly use a hair dressing 303 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.039 and men, I'm right here to tell you I wouldn't 304 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.200 use anything else but Kremmeel hair tonic. 305 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:19.360 Do you know why? 306 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.600 Because Kremmel is one hair tonic I've been able to 307 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.279 find that really keeps my hair well groomed, every hair 308 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.120 neatly in place, yet it never has that greasy, plastered 309 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:34.240 down look. Kremmel always feels and smells so clean on 310 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.960 your hair. In addition, Kremwell Crembell does lots more than 311 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.840 just keep hair looking handsome. It relieves itching of dry scalp, 312 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:46.399 It removes dandra flakes. Kremell actually helps condition the hair 313 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.720 in that it leaves it feeling so much softer, easier, 314 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.919 to manage. Why not ask for an application of cremmel 315 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.000 at your barbershot, buy a bottle at any drug counter. 316 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.279 Just see how attractive looking it. 317 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.720 Keeps your hair. It's spelled k R E M L 318 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:05.159 krammel hair. 319 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:14.559 Tanny, Well, doctor Watson, how did you and the great 320 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.799 Sherlock Holmes make out when you explored the underground caves? 321 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.279 So that first hour we searched that strange place exhaustively 322 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.840 without finding a clue. Then I remember we descended into 323 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:25.120 one of. 324 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.159 The deepest and darkest caves. The must have been a 325 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.600 weird picture as we stood there, our. 326 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.440 Voices echoing hollowly, a vast black chasm yawning in front 327 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.399 of us, and a feeble flicker of gaslight throwing a 328 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:40.159 pool of light on the piece of paper which Holmes 329 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.039 held in his hand. 330 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.879 Watson, I'm certain the figures on this paper are the 331 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.679 clue to the missing emeralds. But why can't I get 332 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:54.080 the cube? T two N three O two S five. 333 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:54.720 Oh? 334 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.840 They might be facing direction obviously, but beginning were I 335 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.519 don't know, but two N could be. 336 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:00.600 Two places north. 337 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:04.000 Still about T and oh. 338 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.519 The T being the first letter is presumably the starting point, 339 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.159 But what does it stand for? But the course here's 340 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:12.720 the answer. Look here on the wall. 341 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:14.200 You mean that colored tablet. 342 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.279 Yes, it's a common Early Christian symbol known as Saint 343 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.519 Antony's cross, and it's also the Greek letter T. This 344 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.480 is our starting point. T is the first letter in 345 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:22.919 this code. 346 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.120 Then comes two N. 347 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.519 Let's try it two paces north. So then comes the 348 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.440 letter oh, oh oh, it could mean zero, Yes it good, 349 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.120 old Chap wore it might be no, no, I have it? 350 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:38.879 Remember that road? Here was a frenchman. 351 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.840 Who's that got to do with that? 352 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.000 The French word for west is west spelt O U 353 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.240 e s t French compasses happen? 354 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:46.440 Oh? Where ours have the W? 355 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:53.799 Two faces north three O three paces west? See if 356 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:55.639 guanto lend lend us a spade? What's in, dear chap? 357 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.159 Will you? We're getting warm, We're getting decidedly warm. 358 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.240 Homes holdser I think we've drawn a blank? 359 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:15.359 So do I? 360 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:16.440 Yet? 361 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:21.480 The code is a logical one two paces north three west, 362 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.960 two south five way. Wait a minute. Paces are nicer 363 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.680 at watson, they vary. A man would surely leave his 364 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.319 records and carefully measured feet. 365 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.680 Here's a tape measure. Why don't you try measuring. 366 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.559 It out and feet? Thanks? 367 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:41.839 Now two feet north, three west, two south, five west 368 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.079 would be here. Give him the spade, Watson. I'll do 369 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.640 it again this time, thanks. 370 00:17:47.559 --> 00:18:03.240 Very much, Homes. 371 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:05.319 If you dig any deeper, you'll come out in Australia. 372 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.799 And yet I know we're basically on the right track. 373 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.119 What an unmitigated idiot I am, Watson. Look on the 374 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.920 other side of this tape. 375 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:15.680 Measure what's on it? 376 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.920 It's marked in meters. Rotae was French. Now we have 377 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:24.400 the answer, Watson. Two meters north, three west, two south 378 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:30.440 and five west. Get into spade again.
