WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:02.919 Now, doctor Watson, how about the new shell Arcolm story 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:04.360 murder in the Locked Room. 3 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.000 Well, it's well that adventure took place many many years ago. 4 00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.919 If began on a gray and murky afternoon in Baker Street. 5 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.679 We just finished tea, I remember, and Holmes was busying 6 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.839 himself with some chemical experiments for some time. He sat 7 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.079 down in silence, with his long, thin back. 8 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.440 Curved over a report in which he was brewing a 9 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.239 particularly malodorous product. 10 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.280 As I glanced across at him, seated there under the 11 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:32.920 gas light. 12 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.520 His head was sunk upon his breast, and he looked 13 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.640 like a strange lank bird with dull a gray plumage 14 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:40.840 and a black top bob. 15 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.840 Suddenly he turned. 16 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.479 To me, So, Watson, you have decided not to invest 17 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:49.159 in South African securities. Huh? 18 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:51.479 Oh, not to know that, Hugh, It. 19 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.520 Isn't really difficult. I observed a groove between your left 20 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.320 forefinger and thumb. It is enough to tell me that 21 00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.640 you do not intend to invest your small capital in 22 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.359 the gold. 23 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.000 You know. 24 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.640 Connection and yet the train of thought and elementary one. 25 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:06.719 You had chalk between your thumb and finger when you 26 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.680 return from your club. Two. You put chalk there when 27 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.560 you played billiards. Three you will never played billiards except 28 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.319 with Marston. Four you told me about a month ago 29 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.799 that Marston had an option on some South African property 30 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.560 which would expire in four weeks, and what she desired 31 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.319 you to share with him. Five Your check book is 32 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.000 lost in my draw and you have not asked for 33 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.640 the key. Number six is the logical conclusion you've decided 34 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:30.239 not to invest your money in the senner. 35 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.079 Third, listen book. I knew you'd say that one of 36 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.439 that is Were you expecting a client? 37 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.920 No, Watson, but I hope it is one. My practice 38 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.400 has been decided. Listenack. They say, go and see who 39 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:43.560 it is? 40 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.480 He or missus Hudson our show, gentlemen in uh suezzer, good, 41 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.920 good evening. I'm I'm doctor Watson. 42 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.439 How do you do? My name is Sudley Stoner. 43 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.519 Oh, come along in, mister Turner. 44 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.920 Thank you, And this must be the great Sherlock Holme. 45 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.680 My name is Holmes. The adjective is your own, mister Stoner, 46 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.120 sit downward, Joe. Thanks. I don't imagine you know anything 47 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.840 about me, mister Holmes, nothing beyond the paint that you 48 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.280 went to Eton and Oxford that you have a beautiful 49 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.599 and socially prominent wife, and that you contribute to the 50 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.759 Strand magazine with some regularity. I'm disappointed in not receiving 51 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.599 one of your famous deductive analyses, mister Holmes, but I'm 52 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.280 glad that my name is familiar to you. 53 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.319 You contribute to the Strand magazine, Sir two. 54 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.280 That's the introduced. 55 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.599 Sirh that you read some of my humble efforts. 56 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.759 Yes, indeed, doctor, very colorful stories they are. Oh don't 57 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.280 mind my saying so, mister Stoner. Your own stories, which 58 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.680 should also deal with the world of crime, seemed to 59 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.360 me to be even more sensational than Watson's, probably because 60 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.520 he has the facts to work with, whereas I have 61 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.159 to depend on my gift of imagination. But the reason 62 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.319 I've come to you tonight's, mister Holmes, has nothing to 63 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.599 do with imagination. I find myself mixed up in a 64 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.520 real life murder that is as puzzling as any problem 65 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.479 I've dealt with in fiction, the murder of mister Sunda. 66 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.120 I say, really, Delex, please, well, mister Holmes, I'll give 67 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.680 them to you as briefly and concisely as possible. I 68 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.000 just got back from Paris yesterday. My secretary went with me. 69 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.360 He did not return. The French police say he committed suicide. 70 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.319 I know that he didn't. Oh, you know that, mister Sonner. 71 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.280 The boy had everything in the world to live for, 72 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.879 no financial worries, and of very promising future ahead of him. Hmm, 73 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.599 Please this client for circumstances under which his body were found. Well, uh, 74 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.639 I'd left him alone in his room. When I came 75 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.319 to fetch him, there was no answer to my knock. 76 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.960 I tried to look through the keyhole, but the key 77 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.719 was in the lock from the inside and I could 78 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.039 see nothing. After some time at the left, I got worried. 79 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.240 A friend of mine, an inspector of the police, was 80 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.280 dining with me that night, and he suggested we should investigate. 81 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.719 We broke down the door. My secretary was dead, a 82 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.000 bullet in his heart. 83 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:53.840 Inside of room. 84 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.360 Luck from the inside of this to the police arrived 85 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.759 in thinking that it was suicide. 86 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.400 Mister Sonner, of course you examined the room thoroughly or 87 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.560 traces of some other method of ingris meticulously. The windows 88 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.719 were left tight, no sliding panel none. Where was the 89 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.680 revolver beside his right hand one bullet gone. 90 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.719 You said the key was in the inside of the door. 91 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.480 Yes, and that's why the police wrote it off as suicide. 92 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.920 Mister Holmes, how would you explain such a situation. I'd 93 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.519 like a few more facts before giving an opinion. You 94 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.279 say you examined the room meticulously. Was there no podity, 95 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.319 nothing out of place, nothing peculiar that room? Nothing that 96 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.639 I noticed? Perhaps a small pellet of wax. Say yes, 97 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.519 by Joe, I did find a watch pellet. It was 98 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.560 lying on the carpet near the door, and I couldn't 99 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.600 imagine what he was doing there. And there's your answer. 100 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.079 One more question, This French inspector who entered the room 101 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.160 with you, what was his personal relationship with your secretary? 102 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.199 Odd that you should ask that they'd quarreled the night 103 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.199 before about some girl at the Follybjiere. Then there you 104 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.319 have it, mister Stoneer, the murderer left the room, locked 105 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.839 the door from the side, remove the key, and plug 106 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.319 the keyhole with wax. When the room was broken into, 107 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.399 he simply slipped the key into the inside of the lock, 108 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.279 thereby dislodging the wax pellet. Obviously, from what you've told me, 109 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.959 only the inspector had that opportunity. 110 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.399 Right Carter, French police inspectrum. Murderer Holmes, what are you 111 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.120 going to feel about this? 112 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.000 Nothing else? Jef beyond wishing mister Stoner good luck with 113 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.879 the editor of a Strand magazine. I don't think I 114 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.600 follow you, mister Holmes. Oh, come now, mister Stoner. It's 115 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.439 an intellectual game and in its way quite stimulating. But 116 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.360 don't think you can hoodwink me so easily. 117 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.759 Holmes, What are you talking about, my dear Watson. 118 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.759 I read the papers carefully. What do the papers have to. 119 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:38.040 Do with this. 120 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.399 I've noticed the presence of you and your lovely wife 121 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.480 with so many social functions here in London in the 122 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.920 past few days that I'm afraid I can't possibly accept 123 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.639 your Paris story. This answer remains, you've come to me 124 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.279 with an imaginary problem in order to solve the difficulty 125 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.480 in one of your stories. Mister Holmes, you're even smarter 126 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.040 than I gave you. 127 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.439 Crazy This this disgraceful, sir, wasting my friend's time like this. 128 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.600 I suppose I should have followed you, But here's the 129 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.680 way it happened. I came home late last night, a 130 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.240 little under the weather. I had the most wonderful idea 131 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.439 on earth for a story. I was going to call 132 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.439 it the Locked Room. I'm convinced. I made some notes 133 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.680 from the story last night, but when I wakened this morning, 134 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.560 I couldn't find them. All I could remember was the problem, 135 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.160 But I had no idea how to solve it, and 136 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.439 so I came to you. I see, it's an excellent 137 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.680 idea for a story, though I have known similar locked 138 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.480 room problems. In fact, I don't recall that fiction has 139 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.160 exploited their possibilities as homes. 140 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.480 Why are you so calm? I think it's outrageous. Come 141 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:36.920 here and pick your brains for. 142 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.319 A story, my dear Watson, How else do you get 143 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.079 the material for your own masterpieces? If I would you 144 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.360 grudge it to him? I must say, of being very 145 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.600 sporting about him, mister Holmes. Oh no, mister Stoner, I'm 146 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.759 being businesslike. May I ask how much you are in 147 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.759 the habit of receiving for a story of yours in 148 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.120 the Strand magazine about twenty guineas. Why I am a 149 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.720 consulting detective, and I think think I've given you a 150 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.240 valuable opinion. My fee if you sell your story will 151 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:21.439 be ken Guinness. Good night to you, mister Stoner. Ah 152 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.120 there you are a remarkable deduction. Andrea, Yes, here I am. 153 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.319 I've spent all afternoons searching for those notes in the story. 154 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.079 I could not find any trace of them. 155 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.040 Yet I could swear I did some work when I 156 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.399 came in last night. You are sure I didn't give 157 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:36.000 you some dictation. 158 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.519 Quite sure, Monsieur Doner. If you will from my saying, so, 159 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:41.079 you were a little. 160 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.720 Yes, yes, go and Andrea say it as secondary has 161 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.759 some rights. I was drunk, that's. 162 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.360 What you mean in mil meant no offense. 163 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.399 It'd be rather a leaf if you did. You're always 164 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.959 so in fairly polite. Where's my wife? She's in the 165 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.360 library with your brother in law. 166 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.000 Messrs Seal very well. 167 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.319 I need you after dinner. Andre. I'm going to work 168 00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.040 on the story tonight. 169 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:05.279 Yes, hello, Chad, I was beginning to worry about your 170 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.360 not being there for dinner. 171 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.199 I stopped at the club. Good evening, Chad, Hello Henry, 172 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.120 and how is our master of the violin this evening? 173 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:11.480 Chad? 174 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.720 Don't make fun of my brother like that, Yes. 175 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:14.439 Chad, go easy. 176 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.279 I can't learn the violin in two easy lessons, you know, 177 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.360 Rilett are constantly on the piano. 178 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.639 Just now, she says, I'm improving. I don't doubt that 179 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.519 you're improving. You couldn't become worse, Chad. 180 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.680 You're intolerable. Henry's our guests. 181 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.800 An unwanted guests. As far as I'm concerned, he's been 182 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.000 here two months. Why doesn't he try and get himself 183 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.080 a job instead of mooning around here all day scraping 184 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:32.799 away his fiddle. 185 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.639 That's the last time you've been started me, Chad. 186 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.080 I'm leaving here in the morning. I hope I can 187 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:37.720 count on it. 188 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.320 Oh, dare you, Chad? 189 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:40.000 I scare you. 190 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.320 If Henry goes in the morning, I shall go with him. 191 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:43.519 Oh, Violet, take it easy. 192 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.559 You've been drinking again, and you're disgusting when you drink. 193 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.360 You made an absolute fool of yourself in front of 194 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.320 Andre last night. 195 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.519 You are very protective about him. Are you sure those 196 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.000 carf ees he keeps making it? You are entirely I'm reciprocating. 197 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.559 I hate you, Chad. I'm not waiting until the morning. 198 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:58.399 I'm leaving to night. 199 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.919 No, wait a minute, Violet, I'm sorry. I don't know 200 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.840 what makes me do it. I get a few drinks, 201 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.440 and I just feel that I've got to hurt you. 202 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.320 Well, you certainly succeed. I used to think it was 203 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.039 the so called artistic temperament that made you this way. 204 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.279 Now I realize it's drink. 205 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.120 I'm sorry, Violet, but it's not being too easy for me. 206 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.679 Having Henry around all day gets pretty trying, particularly when 207 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:21.639 I'm attempting to work. 208 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.720 But he's planning to move soon. Anyway, Surely you can 209 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.600 tolerate it a little longer for our sake, Chad, can't you? 210 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.399 Of course I can, Violet. I'm sorry, Dear. I'll try 211 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.200 and be a little less poorish, and I'll watch the drinking. 212 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.559 That sounds more like the man I'm married, and i'll 213 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.000 help too. I'll try and keep Henry out of your 214 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.519 way as much as possible, Dear. 215 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.559 We can make a go of it, Violet, I know 216 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.240 we can. Well, I'm going into the study. I want 217 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.039 to jut down some notes on the new story while 218 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:51.159 they're still fresh in my mind. 219 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.679 All right, Dear, then it'll be in about half an hour. 220 00:09:53.960 --> 00:10:04.200 I'll call you fine hm the Locked Room.

The London criminal is becoming a doll 230 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.240 dog these days, less Dard. My own practice has been 231 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.919 remarkably slow in the past few weeks. Yes, I'm saying 232 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.639 with us at Scottland Yard, mister Ahams, but of course we. 233 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.799 Don't grumble at bet.

He was quite a successful writer. They'd 240 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.120 tell me a writer. 241 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:07.840 What was his name? 242 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.279 He wrote for the Strand magazine? Name was Chudley Stoner, 243 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.879 Doctor Watson. It dropped that glass, you will say, Chudleys. 244 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.799 Stoner committed suicide to night. 245 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.159 That's right, mister Elams. 246 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.679 You know him under what circumstances was he found? 247 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.480 It was a routine Caser locked the door on his 248 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.320 study from the inside and then blew his brains out. 249 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.279 The windows were locked and there were no secret panels 250 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.279 in that kind of stuff. It was suicide, all right. 251 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.000 Hm. The arm of coincidence is long, indeed, but not 252 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.759 as long as that has the body been moved, now, 253 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.480 mister Elms, I teld him to touch nothing until the 254 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.360 police photographer's got there, just to be on the sife side, 255 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.320 you understand, sir, splendid grab your coat and half watson 256 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.000 n't your hunt. But what's all the excitement, mister Elams, 257 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.720 It's just a sericide nonsense, Inspector. 258 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.000 I'll stake my whole reputation that Chudley Stoner has been 259 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.799 the victim of the murder plot, as cunning and diabolical 260 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:00.000 as any that I'd rather encountered. 261 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.080 In just a moment we'll find out if Sherlock Holmes 262 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.519 is correct and reducing that this is murder? Are you 263 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.519 one of the many men who find it difficult to 264 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.320 keep your hair neatly groomed in summer? Does the burning sun. 265 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:21.720 Bake and scorch your hair? 266 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.440 Making it look messy and not the least attractive, then 267 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:30.240 try Kreml hair tonic. Just notice the amazing change in 268 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:31.360 the appearance. 269 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:31.440 Of your hair. 270 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.279 You see, Krembl does lots more than just keep your 271 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.360 hair looking handsome.

Well doctor 284 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.759 watch and this is really one for the book. A 285 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.799 mystery writer comes to Sherlock Holmes with a fictitious murder plot. 286 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.320 Holmes starves it for him. Then the man goes away 287 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.120 and gets murdered in exactly the way he described. 288 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.639 Sir Simester Bell as provocative a problem as ever re encountered. 289 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.399 I bet you hurried off to the dead man's house 290 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.600 at once, didn'teous fast? 291 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.120 There's a handsome cab could take us, Sir. As soon 292 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.559 as we arrived, we cross examined the three members of 293 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:49.840 the household, the dead man's wife Violet, her brother Henry Steele, 294 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:53.320 and Andre LaRue, the sectress. All of them tell the 295 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.799 same story that they'd heard the shots and hasten to 296 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.440 the room from different parcel house. 297 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.399 They said that they through the keyhole while it was blocked, 298 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.039 and then the two men broke down the door. 299 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.559 Just the same story as in the dead Man's fictional problem, 300 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.720 wasn't it what happened next? 301 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:09.200 Doctor White? 302 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.000 Well, before we talked to the three suspects any further, 303 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.919 Holmes inspected the star that I walked into the dead 304 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.399 man's study to examine the body. I can almost hear 305 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.440 Holmes now. 306 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.080 He said, hmm, it's not hard to find a motive. 307 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:28.720 A beautiful wife of worthless brother who'd been told to 308 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.240 get out an attractive and attentive young French secretary who 309 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.639 hated the dead man's cruelty. BlimE me and I called 310 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.360 it just a routine serious eye You will notice that 311 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.519 no wax pellet is in evidence this time. I'd say 312 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:44.559 that the answer is obvious. The dead man did write 313 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.279 some notes on his story. Last night, the killer found 314 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.120 them and realized that he had been presented with a 315 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.200 perfect murder method, never expecting that the dead man would 316 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:52.919 divulge his method. 317 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.279 To me, mister Owns, why are you examining the keyhole 318 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:56.879 of the door. 319 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.559 I was looking for a pellet of wax, inspector. It's missing. 320 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.279 Obviously the murderer had read about that in the dead 321 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.799 man's notes and was clever enough to remove it. But 322 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:14.919 let's examine the corpse. H interesting, most interesting. Wow, I'm 323 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.360 surely you can see for yourself, Watson. The bloodstains clearly 324 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.360 indicate that the man fell here some five or six 325 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.360 feet from the desk, and yet, with a dying burst 326 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.759 of energy, he crawled towards the desk and clutched it. 327 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.840 Undoubted that he was trying to give us a dying message. 328 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.039 But out can elding on to a desk, give him message, 329 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.000 mister Earmes. And why should a dying man try to 330 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:36.879 do that anyway? 331 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.000 Remember that the dead man was a writer and a 332 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.720 student of student of criminology. In his last few moments 333 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.480 of consciousness, he probably realized I'd be on the track 334 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.159 of his murderer. 335 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:51.639 Yes, more than one true homes with his body, as 336 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.480 he felt the last time he upset that bowl of 337 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.399 varlet and his wife's name is Volet. 338 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.679 Coincidence, I think, Watson. The flowers were not over inadvertently 339 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.320 as he fell, But the move to the desk was 340 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.200 a deliberate and desperate effort. 341 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.200 Wow, if you talk about that, look here, gentlemen, lying 342 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.240 by his right arm. Look that was knocked off. 343 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:12.759 The desk too. 344 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.000 The seal was a monogram on its right. 345 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.639 Doctor and seal is the name of the dead man's 346 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:19.200 brother in. 347 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:24.559 Law, Enry Seal. Interesting, But I refuse to believe that 348 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.519 a dying man could deliberately knock over such a comprehensive 349 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.919 number of the incriminating objects as he died. 350 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.440 And who do you suppose did do at Hermes at 351 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:33.360 this stage of the case. 352 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.200 I shall suppose nothing, Watson. We have the three obvious 353 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:55.559 suspects waiting for us, Let's question them. Mister Ahmas wants 354 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.559 to ask you some questions, no, inspector. I only wish 355 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.879 to ask the one question you, missus Stoneilan, How did 356 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.880 you occupy your time while you were waiting for the 357 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:06.640 police to arrive. 358 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.920 I was so nervous that to try to calm myself, 359 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.799 I did some knitting. 360 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.039 I do quite a lot of meetings for the course guide. 361 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.759 Man, you nervous, I see, And you, mister sal what 362 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:18.720 were your movements before the police arrived? 363 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.200 I sat in the library, mister Holmes, thank Soliturn. 364 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:22.920 And you Andre. 365 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.279 I went to my own and worked on my account books. 366 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.799 I realized that my job here was finished, and I 367 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:30.200 thought I would get my books. 368 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:35.960 Another I see that's aweso. Now thank you. On the third, Yes, 369 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.079 mister Dow, I'd like you to get me those three 370 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.440 objects spoken of, the knitting of the cards and the 371 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.240 account books. 372 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.599 Right you are, mister answer, I. 373 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.759 Don't see that you've found out much were home? 374 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.920 Don't you want some I'd have thought my line of 375 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.599 reasoning was obvious. 376 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.599 What are you doing leaving that keyhole? 377 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.759 Who said that this time the pellative works had been 378 00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.640 removed through. 379 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.039 But even though the pellet's been removed, I'm quite sure 380 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.799 there'll be traces of wax inside the keyhole, and there 381 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:10.599 are blended. I shall remove this lock and take it 382 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.640 back to Baker Street. The merger, undoubtedless, still had some 383 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.559 traces of wax on his fingers. A closer examination of 384 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:19.839 the fragments of wax inside this keyhole, and an equally 385 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.400 close examination of the knitting of the cards and the 386 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.160 account books should be able to give us the solution 387 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:25.920 to this case. 388 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.599 Welhelmes, you've been pouring over the microscope for Nelliana. 389 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:43.119 Have you got the answer? 390 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.240 Nearly but not quite? 391 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.119 That You've examined all three of the objects. Surely it 392 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.599 is just a question of finding which one of them 393 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.000 shows traces of wax. 394 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.599 Oh no, old Chap, Huh. It's not as easy as that. 395 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.799 Oddly enough, the knitting, the pack of cards, and the 396 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.000 compbooks all show traces of wax. 397 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.480 Great Scott, But that means that all those people were 398 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.880 involved in the murder. It's this concerted plan between. 399 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:09.559 The three of them, I think not wats them? 400 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:10.000 Huh? 401 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.880
