1
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, doctor Watson, we await our rendezvous with the adventure

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Hangman and the Book.

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 2>It was at the turn of the century. Mister Harris,

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 2>the enormous pressure of work upon Holmes had become too

5
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>much for it. He suggested we steal away to Paris

6
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 2>for a week of relaxation. Holmes and I were in

7
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Paris at our hotel when this criminal began his operations.

8
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 2>It was at the Bonton Bookstore, a world famous Parisian

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>shop noted for its collection of rare works. In the

10
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 2>cellar beneath the shop was a thin, drawn, nervous young.

11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Chap I'll bear the clock.

12
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>He was poking about the bookshelves with a candle in

13
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 2>his head. Then suddenly he heard footsteps. He looked up

14
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>terribly quite.

15
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 4>Who is it?

16
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 5>Who's coming down?

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 6>I am there, oh, Monsieur Bonton.

18
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 7>Did forbid you to come into the cellar?

19
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I had to know the secret. I had to

20
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 6>know what you kept on here.

21
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 7>I ought to thrash you snooping about when I told

22
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 7>lave it.

23
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 4>I told you I did not want anyone in this seller.

24
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 5>I want to know my own wife.

25

<v Speaker 7>I want allow the list down here alone.

26
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 5>A miserable, sniveling clock.

27
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 7>How long have you been here?

28
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 8>Just a few minutes, long enough to look about to

29
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 8>see what I keeping?

30
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 5>No, No, I'm sy My curiosity got the best of me.

48
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 10>for prestige and financial purposes.

49
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 9>You accepted that. Now you insist upon being as romantic

50
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 9>as a school board.

51
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:26.919

67
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:05.719

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:40.800

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 9>Oh yes, I can.

84
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 4>myself dragging me to court, possibly putting a knife into me.

85
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 10>We've had some rather pleasant times together all day. Don't

86
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.960

<v Speaker 6>Oh you're going out with another man, aren't you.

88
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.199

89
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 10>back to the store. Marcelle will be upset.

90
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 6>Do you think you've ever come to the end of it? Alice?

91
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 6>Do you think you can go on forever like this?

92
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 9>Albert, call me a carriage like an angel.

93
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 6>You wouldn't be very attractive to other men. Alice, lying

94
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 6>in the moorgue with your neck broken wealth.

95
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 10>That's impetuous, that's very very foolish.

96
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 9>Go on, sweet, call me a carriage. Who is there?

97
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 10>I saw you behind that tree. I know you've been

98
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 10>following me through this park. If you don't stop, I

99
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 10>shall call a gender. I said, I know you are

100
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 10>behind that tree. I can see a silhouette. Oh, so

101
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 10>you will show me who you are. I might have

102
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 10>known it would be you. What are you doing with

103
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 10>that rope?

<v Speaker 11>Master Holmes, because a thousand apologies, the relaxation is over.

113
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 5>I see what you mean, Inspector.

114
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 11>Just a few moments ago, as gendarmes discovered the body

115
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 11>of a woman hanging in the Twillery.

116
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 4>She had been hung to a tree by a rope.

117
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 5>Routine police matter, ordinarily.

118
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 11>Missy Rooms, Yes, however, the case is most extraordinary.

119
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 5>The woman was the wife of.

120
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 11>Marcel Bouton, the distinguished owner of the Bota bookshop.

121
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 5>Really, I know Marcel remarkable shop, one of the best.

122
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 5>Marcel and I correspond frequently.

123
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 11>Missy Rooms and the journalist will create a great crisis

124
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 11>over the death of Madame Bouton.

125
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 4>I must find the killer immediately. I need your help.

126
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 5>Is here? Have you questioned Marcel and her husband.

127
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 4>As best we could?

128
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 3>Here's grief stricken, where's the body?

129
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 4>I have closed the twillery? Doctor Watson. I have ordered

130
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 4>that the body be left hanging from the limb exactly

131
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 4>as it was found. It awaits your arrival, messy rooms.

132
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 5>Very wise, Inspectan.

133
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 4>Then you you will help us move all this solution.

134
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 5>I will arrive at the solution, my dear Inspector Watson

135
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:06.279
<v Speaker 5>a cab.

136
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 2>It's rather chilly out in the Parker homes. We had

137
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 2>the John Darms, but tortures too. It's terribly dark in.

138
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 4>This way, message Arms.

139
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 11>You may see the guard we have stationed about that

140
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 11>huge tree set and there.

141
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 4>You need Dutch light.

142
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 5>Swaying from the limb of the tree. The body of

143
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 5>Ali's spontan horrifying sight. Inspector has Marcel, this dead woman's husband,

144
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 5>any notion as to how this occurred?

145
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 6>Oh, he is too ill.

146
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.000
<v Speaker 4>He is prostrate. It would be a few days before

147
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 4>we can question him thoroughly.

148
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 3>But is it home?

149
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 5>So you see, I see, my dear Watson, I must

150
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 5>pay a visit to Monsieur Charles Guillaume, the eminent French publisher.

151
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 3>What on earth does he have to do with this

152
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 3>grizzly crime?

153
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 5>More than he would imagine. In the obscure record of

154
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 5>that publisher, there's a forgotten entry which contains a clue

155
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 5>as to who is responsible for this homicide. That entry

156
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 5>speaks the name of the criminal, just as if this

157
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 5>dead body before us were whispering it too, whispering the

158
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 5>killer's name as it executes a macabre dance in the moonlight.

159
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 1>It's pleasant to shop in your local clipper Craft store

160
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>wherever you live, because your clipper craft merchant is an established,

<v Speaker 1>for forty to forty seven fifty would not otherwise be possible.

168
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>For clipper Craft quality is the traditional quality of New England,

169
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the same careful craftsmanship that built the famous Yankee clippers

170
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>from which clipper Craft clothes take their name. You can

171
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>trust clipper Craft clothes and you can trust the men

172
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>who sell them. That's why men who know insist on

173
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.559

184
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>adventure of the Hangman and the Book.

185
00:09:59.240 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, mister Header.

186
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.600
<v Speaker 2>After Holmes examined the body of Alice Bonton in the twillery,

187
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 2>he noticed a small detail he would not disclose. Next morning,

188
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 2>he dashed to the offices of Monsieur Guillon, the publisher.

189
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 2>He returned with a Cheshire cat's grill that indicated he

190
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>was close to his presend. Then, sometime later we visited

191
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Monsieur Bonton at his bookshop, the shop who was dismal.

192
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Lapidd you near it? Indeed, a frightening press. Mishaur Bonton

193
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.480
<v Speaker 3>came talk Miss Elms.

194
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 5>I am enough. I hardly expected to see you on

195
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 5>this trip myself. You know doctor Watson.

196
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 7>You have mentioned him to me frequently.

197
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Delighted.

198
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 7>How do you know they've heard of my tragedy?

199
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.759
<v Speaker 5>Yes, myself? Could you recount what occurred the evening of

200
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 5>your wife's demise?

201
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 8>She left me to visit somewhere. She seemed done troubert,

202
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.600
<v Speaker 8>so I allowed her to leave and did not escot

203
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 8>after where she was going. Evidently, on her way home

204
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 8>late that night she chose to work. For the fact

205
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 8>it's really alone. I would say she was attacked by

206
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:13.120
<v Speaker 8>a night father. She resisted him did away with her.

207
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 8>I was awakened by a gendarme who bought.

208
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 7>The terrible news. You have a teary perhaps miss you.

209
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.399
<v Speaker 5>Homes Perhaps I see you still have a magnificent collection

210
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 5>of books. We is this your entire stock here in

211
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 5>the shop.

212
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 7>Yes, our apartment is upstairs our book.

213
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 8>Scene and below the shop the seller is lucked. Monsieurs.

214
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 8>We have not been to the cellar in many years.

215
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Anyone worked for you here, Monsieur Bonton.

216
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 7>And Boyd Clark all death.

217
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 5>Where is he?

218
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.600
<v Speaker 7>That is a problem. He did not report for work.

219
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.039
<v Speaker 7>These past two days.

220
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 5>Were your relations with Albert on a pleasant basis, not

221
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 5>the tiring?

222
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.279
<v Speaker 3>How long has you been in your employees approximately?

223
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 8>Man, what trouble have you had? I I'd like to

224
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 8>place the young boy in a dead light, but I

225
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 8>have reason to believe he was marred in front of

226
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 8>my wife.

227
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 5>I see a chat with Albert, then might be very enlightened.

228
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 8>At these missims. I am not accusing the book clerk.

229
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 8>You have his address twenty seven series, Albert, Julia.

230
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 5>Come Watson to talk with the boy. Yes, perhaps this

231
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 5>romantic young clerk in his leisure moments is a hangman.

232
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, Holmes, what's our next step? His landlady said the

233
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>clerk Albert hasn't been home for a few days.

234
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 5>We shall return to the Bonton bookshop. Watson, we've been there. Oh,

235
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 5>we shall return much later this evening, midnight, I should say,

236
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.480
<v Speaker 5>when the owner has left. We shall again visit the

237
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 5>mysterious bookshop.

238
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.000
<v Speaker 3>But Holmes, you looked at.

239
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 5>There is one spot we did not see by far

240
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:56.840
<v Speaker 5>the most interesting too.

241
00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 3>What spot is that?

242
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 5>When I'm quired about it, Bonton turned white. You tremble.

243
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 5>What spot home the cellar, Watson, we shall pay a

244
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.480
<v Speaker 5>midnight visit the cellar.

245
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 3>As the door don't all cellar hose will be locked.

246
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 5>Of course, that is why I brought a few instruments

247
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 5>with me, Watson, to coss the lock. The childish and

248
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 5>simple Bonnie. I've made an extensive study of continental lucks.

249
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Here we are now quietly, Watson.

250
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 5>I should work at the cellar door and keep an

251
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 5>eye out. You are. I shouldn't take it a moment

252
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 5>see anyone hear anyone?

253
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 13>No?

254
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 3>All clear?

255
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Go on, simple luck.

256
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 13>Just another moment, I hear someone hopes coming down the street.

257
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.919
<v Speaker 13>I must finish Harry homes. You'll be seen one one more.

258
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 13>Here we are quickly the doors all I mean careful

259
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:07.639
<v Speaker 13>wickedy wooden steps match, Watson. Might the candle be brought

260
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 13>a certainly pose? What do you expect to find down here?

261
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 3>Good lord? It was seems so foul must have plit

262
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:17.559
<v Speaker 3>you see the rats?

263
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.919
<v Speaker 5>The answer is here. What's the answer must be here?

264
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Is what sort of shocking secret lies in the cellars?

265
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.799
<v Speaker 5>And looking for it?

266
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Looking for it down here?

267
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 5>That correction, Watson left, bring the candle. I am mamma

268
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.759
<v Speaker 5>but why is it dark at night? And me why

269
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.559
<v Speaker 5>it's the darkened night? Mamma.

270
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.759
<v Speaker 3>It's the clerk. How bare I know him from his

271
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.480
<v Speaker 3>landlad his description? He's been tied of pose. Look he's

272
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 3>bound to that pillar.

273
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes, so he has, and apparently he's gone insane.

274
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes, wick over his head. Isn't that a form of

275
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 3>ancient torture?

276
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 5>It is the water lever, accomplished in this case with

277
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.519
<v Speaker 5>a large pitcher and a punnel, which is replenished now

278
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 5>and then by his captor. Albert was bound to that pillar.

279
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.720
<v Speaker 5>But a steady drip of water strikes his head and

280
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Speaker 5>he's gone mad, tortured also by the darkness, my hunger

281
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.279
<v Speaker 5>and thirst, and the huge rats against which he's been defenseless,

282
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:11.840
<v Speaker 5>and time.

283
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:17.840
<v Speaker 3>What's the first, of course? Just the water. The water.

284
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:24.559
<v Speaker 11>The water doesn't stop, you'd see, only your mind stops.

285
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 14>That's a cruel animals, perhaps not as cruel as men.

286
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.360
<v Speaker 4>They enjoy human flesh.

287
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>It must be rushed to a hospital, maybe years before

288
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 2>his senators restored the pillow.

289
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 5>What is a colorless compound of the hydrogen and oxygen.

290
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:54.840
<v Speaker 7>It is very helpful to man. It is beautiful in

291
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 7>the form of my the ocean's legs and the rushing rivers.

292
00:15:59.440 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 5>It has.

293
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:01.039
<v Speaker 4>There's many uses.

294
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.919
<v Speaker 2>All the family sent you to life homes.

295
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:06.840
<v Speaker 3>What are you looking for?

296
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 6>Ah?

297
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 5>There we are this shelf. What is it? A book

298
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 5>faded to eligibility and parts very dusty? A book the

299
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 5>book Watson, though not outstanding in this surprising collection.

300
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I see you mean you originally stolen to the cellar

301
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 2>simply to find that book.

302
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 5>Yes, now we must find Marcel Monton immediately.

303
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 7>I will spare you the efforts, Missus.

304
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.320
<v Speaker 5>Not very hospitable of you, Marcel to greet us with

305
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 5>a pistol.

306
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.320
<v Speaker 8>I'm familiar with your reputation, Missieurs. I realize what become suspicious.

307
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 8>So I've been waiting for you with this pistol, which

308
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 8>I shall you.

309
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:40.360
<v Speaker 5>You have come to put more?

310
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 8>What time?

311
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 3>The picture of my emison? But no more?

312
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 7>What I asked, Miss Jones, what can do?

313
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.080
<v Speaker 5>So? This work in my hand is entitled Rare Techniques

314
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 5>in Homicide. It includes an exact reproduction of a Persian

315
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.559
<v Speaker 5>manuscripts written in the time of Darius the First. The

316
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.720
<v Speaker 5>subject of it take niaks of torture and murder used

317
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 5>during the Peloponnesian War.

318
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Homes. Why that book?

319
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.720
<v Speaker 5>When I observed myself's wife hung the limb of the

320
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.240
<v Speaker 5>tree Watson, I noticed she'd been tried with a special knot.

321
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 5>I recognized it immediately. It was the very peculiar knot

322
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 5>for Garrotting described in the Persian manuscript. There was just

323
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.079
<v Speaker 5>one place on earth where that knot is described in

324
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.640
<v Speaker 5>this book. I knew there were just two copies of

325
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 5>this work left in the world.

326
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 3>I see you have one at Baker's Street, I dare.

327
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 5>Say, of course. I therefore asked Illon, the publisher, an

328
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 5>expert bibiophile, where the other copy was.

329
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 7>He told you I had it then, as you are, Yes.

330
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 5>He did. Therefore I paid you a visit to look

331
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.240
<v Speaker 5>for it. I found it, monsieur.

332
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.480
<v Speaker 7>That unfortunately does not prove that I Alice. Why not because.

333
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.440
<v Speaker 8>Albre Mclark, gibbering there on the corner could have ready too.

334
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.000
<v Speaker 8>He has been to the cellar before I have found

335
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 8>him there, prior to the night of the Melbourne.

336
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.079
<v Speaker 5>Yes, mycel When I saw the knot, I immediately realized

337
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.039
<v Speaker 5>the killer must either have been you or Albert, your clerk.

338
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 5>But Albert could never have read this book and learned

339
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 5>to tie the fatal knots by Nut. It was here

340
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.079
<v Speaker 5>he had access to it, observed the book, Sir, It's

341
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 5>faded to the point of being illegible.

342
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:08.759
<v Speaker 3>Is the murder blather?

343
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:13.440
<v Speaker 5>Before day? Could he call upon your excellent knowledge of printing? Sir?

344
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Has it not been at least a year since this

345
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.240
<v Speaker 5>type was legible? Look at the pile of dust accumulated

346
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.400
<v Speaker 5>upon this book. Has it not been at least a

347
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 5>year since the book was touched at all? And did

348
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 5>you not say to me yourself that you've employed Albert

349
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 5>for only a month? Remarkable, Marcel. You executed the contents

350
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 5>of the book to the letter. The book relates that

351
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 5>the ancient punishment for adultery was physical death for the wife,

352
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.000
<v Speaker 5>So you murdered Alice. And the punishment for the lover

353
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 5>was more subtle, was mental death, torture to the point

354
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.400
<v Speaker 5>of insanity. So you punched upon Albert, tied him to

355
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.880
<v Speaker 5>that post in this cellar, and arranged your diabolical water pitcher. Yes,

356
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 5>you've been deeply affected by this amazing collection of books.

357
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.640
<v Speaker 8>You see it for you, gentlemen, the gay secret of

358
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 8>my cellar, which I had come see you all these years.

359
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.720
<v Speaker 7>In every book on the subject of crime, Everett.

360
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.200
<v Speaker 5>I noticed you the secret records of Caligular for Commada

361
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:09.920
<v Speaker 5>during inquisition, the Bloodstain memoirs of the Borger.

362
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.559
<v Speaker 7>This was my real world down here, the world upstairs,

363
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.519
<v Speaker 7>my shop, my wife.

364
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.359
<v Speaker 8>I was unhappy there this beagan as a hobby and

365
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 8>intellectual pursuit.

366
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 3>But then I go to absolve it to heavenly.

367
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I'd say, you become intoxicated with crime.

368
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:24.319
<v Speaker 7>Time and again.

369
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.400
<v Speaker 8>I was tempted to try committing a crime, and it

370
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 8>was always in the back of my mind when I

371
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.200
<v Speaker 8>found the Leaf was making a puppet of me, when

372
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.559
<v Speaker 8>I found how she hated me, when I found out

373
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.960
<v Speaker 8>about her, and al there.

374
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 5>You satisfied your desire and accomplished what you believed the

375
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.359
<v Speaker 5>justice by enacting what you read in this strange com.

376
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.960
<v Speaker 14>And now I have a wonderful opportunity to know the

377
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 14>satisfaction of committing a great crime with you, of killing

378
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 14>both of you, and then leaving out there as I

379
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.599
<v Speaker 14>planned to run away in the corner of my cellar

380
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:58.119
<v Speaker 14>in Living Death, my own memoir will be a glorious

381
00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.640
<v Speaker 14>new addition to my collection.

382
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Speaker 3>He's going to pull that trigger by leg Are you

383
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.039
<v Speaker 3>all right, missy owns Doctor Watson.

384
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.359
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Inspector, I am coming down.

385
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.359
<v Speaker 3>I have gone Tom Stern, peer, Inspector.

386
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 5>It was.

387
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.279
<v Speaker 11>It was very four sighted Messer Rones to tell me

388
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.759
<v Speaker 11>to come by should you meet Bata unexpectedly?

389
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.799
<v Speaker 5>Unexpectedly, my dear Inspector, it's obvious my reputation here on

390
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.680
<v Speaker 5>the continent is not what is thout the British Empire.

391
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.079
<v Speaker 5>You may inform your associates that there is nothing unexpected

392
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 5>to monsieur, shut up homes. Tell doctor Watson that was

393
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:50.599
<v Speaker 5>a very thrilling story.

394
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, well, I'm delighted that you found the adventure so exciting,

395
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.799
<v Speaker 2>mister Harris, and I do believe that next week's story

396
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:01.079
<v Speaker 2>is just as griffing. It is called the Adventure of

397
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 2>the East End Strangler. It concerns a city in terror,

398
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:09.359
<v Speaker 2>a scream and the night, a bit of blue thread,

399
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.319
<v Speaker 2>and an old lover.
