Of course, I. 7 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.520 Quite agree with your homes any individual as a great 8 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.320 deal of his gifts if he has in it to 9 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.399 his ancestry, look heredity. But what about your own case, 10 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.200 my case, Watson. But from all you've ever told me. 11 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.399 It seems obviously your remarkable faculties of observation and deduction, 12 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.560 Come Holmeston, tell it from your own systematic training. You 13 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:01.600 didn't inherit them, now, now, did you? To some extent? Yes? 14 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:02.399 I think so. 15 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.719 Or my ancestors were a country square. They led much 16 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.799 the same life as the rest of their task. But 17 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.799 remember what's in my grandmother as a sister of their name. 18 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:13.319 The French artist who's. 19 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.519 There going to do with it? Ah art in the 20 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.840 blood is liable to take the stranger's form. 21 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.879 Agreed, But what makes you think that in your case 22 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.560 it is the county for such unusual gifts, because my 23 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.799 brother Micraft possesses them too, Your brother did. 24 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.760 Holmes. In all the time we've known one another, this 25 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.760 is the first mention you've ever made of having a brother. Really, 26 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.840 perhaps I should have referred to him before home. So 27 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.280 shall I ever get used to your ways? 28 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:48.560 Oh? 29 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.799 Yes, Micraft has my gifts and had to a greater degree. 30 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.079 I think that's about the first time I've heard you 31 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.640 being modest, not at all. Nothing was further from my intention. 32 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.719 I cannot agree with those who ranked this day amongst 33 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.640 the virtues. When I say that Mycroft has better parts 34 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.319 of observation than I, you may take it that I'm 35 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.560 speaking the exact and literal truth. It's also true that 36 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.680 he has neither the energy nor the ambition to use. 37 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.800 Them in the way I do. It Is he your 38 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.479 junior certain years? My senior? How comes it the one 39 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.240 never heard anything about him? Oh?

My DearS, allow me to introduce my 79 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:47.439 celebrated brother, mister Sherlock Holmes and his associates, Dr Watson. 80 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:48.360 How do you do? 81 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.160 True, my dear mister Holmes, I cannot say how delighted 82 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.319 I am to meet you, and you told Dr Watson, 83 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.639 I am honored, gentleman, honor, and I love. 84 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.240 My brother was beginning to tell us about a most 85 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.959 singular problem when he paused to summon you, and I 86 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.639 can only assume that you are in some way concerned. 87 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.439 And ah, yes, yes, alas if you wish to submit 88 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:14.279 the details to me. 89 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.759 I shall be only to have it listen to them 90 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.079 to tell you the truth, mister Holmes, I believe I 91 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.160 shall be able to rest much more easily after telling 92 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.759 this strange tale to you and doctor Watson. 93 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.480 Then I am all attention. This is Wednesday evening. 94 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.480 Well, then it was on Monday night that all this happened. 95 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.279 Perhaps mister Microft Holmes has told you. I am an 96 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.120 interty years. I am often sent for at strange hours 97 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.399 on behalf of foreigners who get into difficulties. So I 98 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.439 was not very surprised on Monday night when a very 99 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.920 fashionably dressed young man came up to my rooms. 100 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.519 Mister Miller, my name is Latimer. 101 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.199 I've had a rather unexpected visit from a Greek gentleman 102 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.240 with whose firm I have some business dealings. 103 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.040 I see it. Well, the trouble is he can't speak 104 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.319 anything but Greek. Yes, well it's a bit late. 105 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.000 I realized that, well, he's a complete stranger to London, 106 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.079 and I must do what I can for and straight away, 107 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.120 you know, fix him up with a hotel for tonight 108 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:15.519 and so on. 109 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.560 So I took the liberty of coming to see if 110 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.759 you'd help it all well, of course, thank you. Oh 111 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.959 but tell me, mister Latimer. Have you your friend with 112 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.160 you now? Well? No, actually silly organized, of course. 113 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.240 But when he was pretty tired and I left him 114 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.319 at my place, and without thinking, really, I just jumped 115 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.480 into a cab and came here. 116 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.319 But it's only this end of Kensington, and I wondered 117 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.680 if I could impose on you to come back with me. 118 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.519 Why I suppose the CAB's outside, it's not far at all. 119 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.040 Very well, then, mister Latimer, I shall be very pleased 120 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.600 to help you, or perhaps you will help yourself to 121 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.360 one of the cigarettes while I put. 122 00:06:53.279 --> 00:07:03.600 On my thieves. You were lucky, I think, to find 123 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.040 the vehicle as pleasant as this for your errand mister Lettimer. 124 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.360 Yeah, these old four wheelers are getting faded at the edges, 125 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.920 but give me them sooner than a handsome any time. 126 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.439 I like some brillaty when I drive him. 127 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:20.360 Are very convenient at time. But look, good, cook, our 128 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.600 cave has made some mistake. He must know this is 129 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.199 not the way the Kensing turns it. I think he 130 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.600 has misharved your directions, mister Latimer. I'm afraid he hasn't. 131 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:31.560 What are you doing. 132 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.800 Oh why are you drawing the blanks, mister Latimer, What 133 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.720 is the meaning of this? I'm sorry to cut off 134 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.360 your view, mister Milers. The fact is we're not going 135 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.360 to Kensington, and I prefer you not to know where 136 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:42.879 we are going. 137 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.519 Oh yeah, you, sir, I insist on leaving this carriage 138 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.000 at once. Shut down, mister Miller. 139 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.759 I have a life preserver here and I shan't hesitate 140 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:52.399 to use it if you cry out or try anything 141 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:57.240 on you think you can do this. Remember, mister Miller, 142 00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.879 no one knows you are here. This Cabby will ask 143 00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.480 me question. But you're in here or in the place 144 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.240 I'm taking you to your equally in my tower. You understand, 145 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.480 I understand, And sit still, keep quiet, and remember that 146 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.680 no harm will come to you if you continue to 147 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:14.839 do everything I say. 148 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.000 We drove on like that for something like two hours, 149 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.800 mister Holmes. It was ten minutes to nine by my watch. 150 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.879 When we came to a stand still. I was hurried 151 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.319 out of the carriage and through a low arched doorway 152 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:32.639 with a lamp burning above it. 153 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:33.879 I had a vague. 154 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.120 Impression of lawn and trees on each side, and then 155 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.000 I was inside the house I was shown straight into 156 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:41.399 a room. 157 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.360 There was a middle aged man with glasses sitting in 158 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.879 a velvet chair. He turned towards us as I was 159 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:49.879 brought into the room. 160 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.600 Ah, hell, is this the gentleman, mister Millers? Yes, well done, 161 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.879 well done. No ill will Miss Millers, I hope, but 162 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.679 we just couldn't get on about you. If you deal 163 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.320 fair with us, you will not regret it. But if 164 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.879 you try, and I. 165 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.559 Protest more strongly against this illegal detention, the police shall 166 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:10.960 know of it. 167 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.519 I warrant you. What we ask of you is simplicity itself. 168 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.320 We want you to ask a few questions of a 169 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.039 Greek gentleman who is visiting us. 170 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.759 And tell us his answers. Harold, perhaps you'd ask the 171 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.759 gentleman to step in here? Well, nothing, Sinsnette, mister Miller. 172 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:37.600 Sister, why this disgraceful conduct towards me? Answer? That's up? 173 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.000 Regret it, sir, regretted. Now let us look at it 174 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.559 this way. You were ready enough to accept an evening's commission. 175 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.240 In return for your usual fee. You will have your fee, 176 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.679 mister Miller's, and double You will carry out your commission 177 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.759 in exchange. You will then be taken back to London. 178 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.080 Very well, I am here. I will do as you ask, 179 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.600 so long as it accords with my normal services, and 180 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:07.919 nothing more, though you you understand, agreed, Ah, And now 181 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.279 there will be no more waste of time. Here is 182 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.159 Harold with a gath. 183 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.080 At that moment, mister Holmes, the other man let him 184 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.440 her came back. He was leading a gentleman wearing some 185 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:25.080 sort of loose dressing gown. As this man came slowly 186 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.080 forward into the dim circle of. 187 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:31.639 Light, I was horrified at his appearance. He was deadly, 188 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.000 pale and emaciated. 189 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.879 He had the protruding eyes of one whose spirit is 190 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.159 greater than his strength. But what shocked me more than 191 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.919 anything else, there was a great pad of sticking plaster. 192 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:47.399 Over his mouth. 193 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:53.440 Again, yes again, I see pray, continued mister Miller. The 194 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.159 younger man gave him a chair and then put a 195 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.679 slate and a slate pencil into his heads. Then the 196 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.960 old one gave me questions to ask him, and he 197 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.240 was to write the answers on the slate. 198 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.080 Can you remember them very well? Splendid? 199 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.559 But I must first tell you something, mister Holmes. As 200 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.919 I was about to begin, a happy thought came to 201 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.080 me yes. As the other two men in the room 202 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.919 obviously knew nothing of the Greek language, I decided that 203 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.639 I would be quite safe in interpolating questions of my 204 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.399 own among those I was directed to ask. 205 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.240 By this means, I might be able to find out 206 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.200 who the captive was and why he was there, and 207 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.120 I might even have been able to help him capital 208 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.600 capital he might die. You you'll be pleased by that. Jaruk. 209 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.440 Mister Mills isn't invaluable with missus Dad he is. Indeed, 210 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.919 let us proceed. Mister Milass you were to ask questions, 211 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.519 he was to write the answers. I will try to 212 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.679 give you the regist of the interview. 213 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.440 So far as these significant parts went, I began as steric. 214 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.799 I am directed to ask whether you are prepared to 215 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.720 sign the papers? 216 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:17.720 Are no conditions? You know what is in store for you? 217 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:25.120 Then the property can never be yours. What is your name? 218 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.879 You shall go free if you sign? Where are you from? 219 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:39.120 Then? 220 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:49.559 I warn you again what house is this? I found 221 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:50.960 that his name. 222 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.960 Was Kratidis and that he came from Athens. He didn't 223 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:59.039 know where he was, and they were starving him another 224 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.720 five minutes. Mister Holmes and I might have succeeded in getting. 225 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:06.159 The whole story out of him. You did remarkably well, 226 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.600 mister Melas. I congratulate. 227 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.399 Then. Then, yes, I thought I should discover it all 228 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:13.200 under their very noses. 229 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:17.399 Only at that instant the door opened and a woman 230 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:18.519 stepped into the room. 231 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.720 I couldn't see her very clearly in the dim light, 232 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.919 but I think she was tall and dark and wearing 233 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:31.679 a sort of rose white gown. And I couldn't stay 234 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:40.519 very longer. It is so long you done old a 235 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.519 herald quick. 236 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:51.360 To you now, Well, mister Milus, I'm sorry we couldn't 237 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.960 have sped to that distressing scene. But whatever you're thinking 238 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.879 about all this, you're quite wrong, quite wrong, I assure you. 239 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.799 Here Ah five sovereigns. 240 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.720 Take them now. The carriage will take her back to time. 241 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.440 But remember one word of this to a human soul, 242 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.480 and don't think we haven't her means of knowing. If 243 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.720 you talk, we'll soon know. 244 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.200 And that is all, gentlemen. 245 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.159 I was bundled into the carriage and it drove off 246 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.600 at a great rate. It was much too dark to 247 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.879 see anything outside. After a long time, it stopped and 248 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.279 I was told to get down. But before I could 249 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.720 look round me. The coachman was back into his seat 250 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.080 and whipping up the horse. 251 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.039 I was left alone. How did you get back home? Then? 252 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.440 I walked for a while, doctor Watson. 253 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:44.600 Then I met a man who told me I was 254 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.840 on Onsworth Common and pointed out the way to Clapham Junction. 255 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.879 I got there in time for the last train to Victoria. 256 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.279 Next day. 257 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.519 I told the whole story to mister Mycroft Holmes here, Well, 258 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.000 my craft isn't thing to add? 259 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.799 Do me this in to day's daily news. 260 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:06.440 Anybody supplying any information as to the whereabouts of a 261 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.480 Greek gentleman named Paul Katidis from Ethens, who is unable 262 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.279 to speak English, will be rewarded. A similar reward will 263 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.679 be paid to anyone giving information about a Greek lady 264 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.840 whose first name is Sophie. 265 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.919 About Stanber, etcetera, etcetera.

He 373 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.279 was much weaker, who could scarcely hold the slave pencil. 374 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.680 It was impossible for me to communicate secretly with him 375 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.079 this time. 376 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.279 What did they want? 377 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.200 He said, said too yes, But the grave fellow refused 378 00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.400 every threat. But they finally saw it was useless and 379 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.359 bundled him roughly out of the room. Then they turned 380 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.680 on me over the newspaper advertisement. I wonder if your 381 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.000 brother was not a little history putting that in, mister Holmes, 382 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:05.440 possibly her, but. 383 00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:08.960 Remembered mister Mills. But for the answer which came so suddenly, 384 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:10.319 we should certainly never. 385 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:10.720 Have found you. 386 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.960 Ay, yes, well, they left me in no doubt as 387 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.599 to their intentions. But they were going to kill Cratidis 388 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.920 and me had ma pot their own escape, and I 389 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.240 suppose because they thought they should never leave. 390 00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.640 To tell it to anyone else. They told me their 391 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:27.960 unsavory story. 392 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:31.079 Ah, Watson, will you begger enough to take a note 393 00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:33.599 of this, Inspector Gregson may had it invaluable. 394 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:40.079 Well, there is not much to it really. They told 395 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:43.319 me that the young lady is Sophie. He came from 396 00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.000 a wealthy Grecian family, and that she had been on 397 00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:49.000 a visit to some friends in England. Over here she 398 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:52.240 had met the younger of the two villains, had Letimer, 399 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.160 and he had persuaded her to elope with him. Her 400 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.960 friends had immediately informed her brother Paul Kratidis in Athens. 401 00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.440
