WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:04.559 Now back to the fatal poisoning on eel Pie Island. 2 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.119 The title sounds indigestible to begin with, Dr Watson, eel 3 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:10.199 Pie Island. 4 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.599 Look, is there really such a place for the ignorance 5 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.559 of the men? If you'd ever been builting on the Thames, 6 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.760 you'd know it well. Yes, seated Pie Island lies in 7 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.679 the prettiest stretch of the river between Richmond and Hampton Court. Furthermore, 8 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.879 it has a very popular inn which is famous for its. 9 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.679 Ail and its eel pie Oh naturally. 10 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.960 Cold refreshing mug of ale off to pull up the 11 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.200 river in the hot sun, and a delicious slice of 12 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:37.920 cold eel piem. 13 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.079 I could certainly go over the first item, doctor Watson, 14 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.119 but I'm not quite so sure about the second. 15 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.840 You know, mister Harris. That's exactly what Holmes said. Some 16 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.479 twenty or so years ago. It was Sunday afternoon and 17 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.560 Mary was expecting some relatives for Tea. Noticing my agonized expression, 18 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.840 she handed me this blazer and suggested Holmes and I 19 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.000 go for all and you'll dune boating expedition up the Thames. Consequently, 20 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.319 four o'clock found us in a four odd skip risk 21 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.840 discoming past Camphouse, the Jacobeane seat of the Earl of 22 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.959 Disart back in sixteen ten. 23 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.000 Of course, oh obviously. 24 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.480 Yes, we were skimming. Holmes was as fish as a 25 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.719 daisy after miles pool up from Richmond. I'm afraid I 26 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:47.439 had begun to melt broke. 27 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:56.760 Get you back into it, Watson, Stroke, stroke, Watson, that's 28 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.000 the third time you's ms count stroke. 29 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.359 My stomach keeps getting in the way. 30 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.959 That's what comes of being a married man, meals at 31 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:07.719 regular hours. 32 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:09.879 Nothing to joke you out of your rut. 33 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.400 I was jolting out of it four years when I 34 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.400 rejoined during the late War.

I say, hood, that's eve 40 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:38.199 Pie Island, upperhead. What do you say we put under 41 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.639 those willows for a bit of a breathering, I don't 42 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.000 need a breather. I wonder if the a that the 43 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.960 inn is as cool as a memory round tangye. I 44 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.439 can just feel it trickling down my throat.

Besides, we're duty bound to demolish the contents 48 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.199 of the hamper. Missus Watson prepared for it. Some loving 49 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.879 care from the contents.

She died remarkably fast, 114 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.800 all things considered. If she'd been a younger, stronger woman, 115 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.639 death might have been delayed for hours, even days. I 116 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.879 take it she had high blood pressure and we can't. 117 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.800 Yes, sir, and diabetes too.

The only 121 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.160 reason I keep that vermin killer in the potting shed 122 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.399 is because the nasty things have been destroying my tulip bulb, 123 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.000 don't you know. 124 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.360 Oh so that's where the strickenine came from.

They're quite tipital, were they, Watson? But of course. 129 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.600 Gasping for breath, protruding eyeballs, the rigidity and convulsion, remember it. 130 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.399 They couldn't have been any strychnine in the tea. I 131 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.319 drank four cups myself. 132 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.800 Tell me, mister Weatherby, did your sister have anything in 133 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:58.879 her tea that you didn't share? 134 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.000 Cream, a drop of rutten, bit of mint. 135 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.279 No, No, nothing like that. We both took it weak 136 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.079 with a lot of milk. Oh, Minnie did have stricken 137 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.199 in the cough, That is Zacharin nice should say. I 138 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.079 prefer to go without sweetening myself. We aren't a loud sugar, 139 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.600 you know, because of the diabetes sacerin. Of course, she 140 00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.399 carried the pills in a box a reticule. Oh no, sir, 141 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.519 as she had a plain paper envelope. Here it is 142 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:26.480 on the floor of the planet. 143 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.079 Don't touch it. Don't touch it, I say, oh no, sir. 144 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:31.519 Not if you say not, hand it to me. Watson 145 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:38.080 with your handkerchiefs hmm empty. 146 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.559 She used up all the pills. I guess in no 147 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.120 wonder if she had six cups of tea. Minnie did 148 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.759 enjoy her afternoon tea, and she did enjoy all her meals, 149 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.080 Poor Minnie, sir. 150 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.159 How do you count for the fact that the five 151 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.720 previous cups were drunk without complications. 152 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.159 Probably because only the sixth sacerin pill was poisonous and bitter. 153 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.879 The shock of finding it poisoned to a woman with 154 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.679 her heart that certainly helped to bring on the convulsions. 155 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.440 It was undoubtedly pure accident that pill was saved to 156 00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:10.799 the last. You say your sister suffered from diabetes, mister Weatherbay, 157 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:11.879 she doesn't look it. 158 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.039 Oh, that's because my brother Robert took such good care 159 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.320 of her. Love all of us. He gives us injections 160 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.639 of that new drug insulin.

There was no 221 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:28.720 one in the boat but him and his sister. He 222 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.600 gave her a cup of tea, and it killed her. 223 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.639 He gave her six cups of tea, Lestrade, Only the 224 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.519 last one seems to have contained anything suspicious.

It's a 234 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.440 hot day, but is wearing a purple scarff? 235 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:02.600 Next? 236 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.480 As a version, tell me she wasn't poisoned, she was strangled. 237 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.519 Oh no, I wouldn't.

Don't forget those. I suggest you have 243 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.120 your best surgeon to form the autopsy. 244 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.159 We won't need any autopsy if we find stryctine in 245 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:29.679 a teacup. 246 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.039 Oh you'll find strycteine l stard.

I 301 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:41.600 can't begin to express my regrets. 302 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.240 Oh please, don't blame yourself, doctor, I couldn't have done 303 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.840 more for her myself. I'm sure an overdose of stricknean 304 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.840 is so violent and so suddenly, don't you know? 305 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.399 Then me autopsy showed stricknean. 306 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.120 There was no autopsy necessary, mister Holmes. The contents of 307 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.120 the teacup proved the case. And then, of course when 308 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.480 my brother confess, confessed, Yes, it seems he had one 309 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.680 of his dizzy spells while my sister was drinking her 310 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.000 tea and lay down in the boat for a moment. 311 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.720 He must have been unconscious for several moments. At least 312 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:13.960 he doesn't seem to remember what happened during that length 313 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.319 of time. 314 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.720 Of course, a trance, some nambubilistic He must have administered 315 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.680 the poison while in a semi conscious condition. 316 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:26.599 Yes, poor Walter, I've always known he subconsciously resented both 317 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.279 his sisters. They were so big and robust, Walter was 318 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.759 always rather frail. I suppose I should have had him 319 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.640 committed after Nelly's death. That well, somehow I couldn't persuade 320 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:39.680 myself that he was really dangerous. 321 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.039 I see, would it shot you very much, doctor Weatherby, 322 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.480 if I were to assure you that your brother did 323 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:46.680 not kill either. 324 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:50.359 Of his sisters. But mister Holmes, the evidence the death 325 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.079 struggle indicated strict name. A strict name was found in 326 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:54.839 the tea cup. He was the only person with her 327 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:58.079 all afternoon, and then his confession. You can't get around that. 328 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.440 I imagine your brother Walter takes rather easily to any 329 00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:04.079 form of suggestion. D to Weatherbay with your permission, I 330 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.519 should like to have a talk with him. He's in 331 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:07.880 both steak jail. I understander, that's correct, mister Holmes. 332 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.079 But I'm afraid you must postpone your interview until later 333 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.119 in the day and he's had time to recover from 334 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:13.960 his insulin injection. 335 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:14.759 He's already handed. 336 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.599 But no, as a matter of fact, I was just 337 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:17.920 about to go around to the jail and. 338 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.440 Give it to him. Splendid. We'll go with you. 339 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.720 Doctor Watson is particularly anxious to learn this new technique 340 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:23.880 of administering insulin. 341 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:26.480 Some other time I shall be delighted. 342 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:27.720 What better time than the present. 343 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.799 We promise not to discuss your sister's murder, Dr Weatherby, 344 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.680 but I understand that is Scotland Yard is in charge 345 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:38.200 of the case. 346 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.200 Would they permit interference? 347 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.079 Scotland Yard has learned it's always wise to allow me 348 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:44.759 to interfere. 349 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:45.440 Dr Weatherbay. 350 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:56.079 It so frequently saves them from making fools of themselves. 351 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:15.480 This way, gentlemen, please any wait a moment I unlock yourself. 352 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:22.359 It being's hard.

But we 372 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.960 found out it sometimes a good idea to let him 373 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:30.160 raise many thanks, Lestrade. 374 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.480 As a matter of fact, you came just in time. 375 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.559 We are about to witness a very interesting demonstration. 376 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.359 An injection of insulin isn't as drastic as all leethmostomes. 377 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.400 In a few years, thousands of people will be getting 378 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.519 into them daily, injecting it themselves in all probability. 379 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:49.880 Ow hold out your arm water. 380 00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:52.319 Then it's really quite harmless, I mean, even to a 381 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.920 person not suffering from diabetes. 382 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.359 Oh yes, yes, it might accelerate the rate of metabolism 383 00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.640 slightly for a time, but nothing to worry about. 384 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.519 Then Nelly's death and Minnie's death couldn't possibly have been 385 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:05.759 caused by the injection you gave each of them the 386 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:07.000 morning of the day in which they died. 387 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.720 Quick lord, No, what a fantastic idea is. 388 00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:11.359 So fantastic, Doctor Webby. 389 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.039 I am quite convinced that neither Mini nor your brother 390 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:17.000 here suffer from diabetes. 391 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.559 Your sister, Nelly I didn't see. 392 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.359 Unfortunately, dear mister Holmes, without a blood test, how could 393 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.680 you possibly tell? I had the eye of the trained diagnostician, 394 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.319 Doctor Webby, the tone of the skin was too healthy, 395 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.599 particularly in Minnie's case. No, I suggest you were giving 396 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.599 your brother and sister injections, but are much more sinister. 397 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.720 Reason, doctor, but that's preposterous. Even if they proved not 398 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:39.240 to be diabetic, intil an injections wouldn't harm them. 399 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.680 I grant you all. But the final injections were harmless, 400 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.839 Doctor nonsense. My sister certainly didn't die for any injections. 401 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.400
