1
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 1>And now doctor Watson. What about the Adventure of the

2
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Curious crept.

3
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, mister Harris. It began in the summer of eighteen

4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.800
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine. This was a decade when fortunes were being

5
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 2>made in the New World by enterprising Englishmen, and among

6
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the new rich was a man named John Gibbon. Strange

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and eccentric man. As Gibbon, not without a rather shady reputation.

8
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.519
<v Speaker 2>He returned to England to retire with his son Cedric

9
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 2>and his daughter Ellen, and it was said but the

10
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>children hated their father bitterly. The London newspapers had dubbed

11
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>Gibbon Silver John, since he had a distrust of paper

12
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>money in the banks, and the rumor was that his

13
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>fortune was a vast hoard of silver allows concealed somewhere

14
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>in his house. Then one night, in the cellar of

15
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>the Gibbon manner.

16
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 3>It's around here, somewhere, money's buried where?

17
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 4>And I.

18
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 5>Cedric cards to me, Ah, oh, you're digging in the

19
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 5>cellar again, eh, you stupid young father. I tried to

20
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 5>find my money, trying to rub you.

21
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 4>Young welp.

22
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 6>I begged you for an allowance, father, even alone as well.

23
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 5>You'll rot before you get a penny.

24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 7>Do you hear?

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 5>I spent hard years in Canada, risk my life to

26
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 5>make my fortune.

27
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know all about it.

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 5>If you think I'm going to let a dissolute son

29
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 5>and an extravagant daughter leave me into bankruptcy, you're wrong.

30
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 4>I see you.

31
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 6>Spent a fortune just for that mausoleum of yours at

32
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 6>Kensington Cemetery with your statue on top of it, and

33
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 6>yet not one penny for your for your own daughter

34
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 6>and son, my daughter and son.

35
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 5>You want nothing from me but by silver dollars, nothing,

36
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 5>but you not get the knocked even after I've got why.

37
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 8>You contemptible old black guard, you rotten miser, Cedric? What

38
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 8>I ought to joke the life from youric? Curl my

39
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 8>hands around your scrawning like this. No, don't, it's murdered.

40
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 8>You're here murder hell, hell.

41
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 4>What you're doing, Cedric?

42
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 5>Stop it?

43
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Stop nick her offul out of a penny.

44
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 4>He deserves to.

45
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Die, Cedric, don't you let him go.

46
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 8>I'll let him go, but the next time I'll kill him.

47
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 8>As Heaven's my witness, I'll kill him. Get out, Get

48
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 8>out to young well, get out of my house.

49
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Before I call the.

50
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 9>Police, mister Holmes, Doctor Watson, that's the story, the whole story.

51
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 9>My father and brother have this awful quarrel in the.

52
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>S and now now your father's disappeared he, Miss Gibbon, Yes.

53
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 9>He's vanished completely.

54
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 4>Hmmm, interesting that you have no idea of your brother

55
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 4>Cedric's whereabouts.

56
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 9>No, mister Holmes, not since my father ordered him out

57
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 9>of the house.

58
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 4>See why did you come here to Baker Street, Miss Gibbon.

59
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Why didn't you go to the police.

60
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 9>Because this is a family matter. The newspapers that they'd

61
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 9>be unmerciful, mister Holmes.

62
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 4>Besides, my brother Cedric, well, he might be involved in murder,

63
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 4>Miss Gibbons.

64
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 9>Yes, yes, murder.

65
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh certainly was a young man might have been desperate

66
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>enough to ask.

67
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Quite Watson. Quite now, then, Misgibbon, let us review the facts.

68
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Your father, John Gibbon, made a fortune in ranching properties

69
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 4>in western Canada. He was a partner of a brother,

70
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 4>Hugo Gibbon.

71
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 9>Yes, that's right.

72
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you recall him, Miss Gibbon, Uncle Hugo.

73
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 9>No, Doctor Watson, both Cedric and I were too young

74
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 9>to remember anything.

75
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 4>See to continue, your father cheated Hugo out of his

76
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 4>share of the run properties, drove you go into bankruptcy

77
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 4>and then finally disappeared.

78
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 9>Yes, mister Holmes, I will you help me find my

79
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 9>father and brother.

80
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 4>You can count on me. Miss Gibbon. I find this

81
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 4>situation rather bizarre and hence much to my liking. Open up,

82
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 4>open the door, caretaker.

83
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 5>What is it?

84
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 4>What do you want? I want to get into the cemetery.

85
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 5>Unlock the gate said, it's past midnight. We don't allow

86
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 5>visitors and getting contemmetary after die.

87
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 6>Look here, caretaker, I just want to look at my

88
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 6>father's tomb. My name is Gibbon, Cedric Gibbon.

89
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 5>Gibbon. That's right, and there's a quid in it for

90
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 5>you if you'll do what I say. Well, I can't

91
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 5>see any harm need if you just want to look,

92
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm along.

93
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 4>Let's see.

94
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 3>That's it, my father's tomb.

95
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Cursing.

96
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Hare's his statue on the roof. He gattistical, old fool out.

97
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>No, no, come to Kensington gave the yards again? Oh sue,

98
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 2>have you read the morning Telegraph? No? I haven't bought

99
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>some What is it, Sidric Gibbon? He was seen last night?

100
00:05:59.240 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Indeed?

101
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, as he entered the Kensington Cemetery shortly after midnight,

102
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 2>and he never came out again. The Cabby who drove

103
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 2>him there the caretaker Malsby, who admitted him, both identified

104
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 2>young Gibbon. That isn't the end of this devilished business?

105
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 4>What else is that? Well?

106
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Both the cabyan caretaker swore they heard Gibbons scream after that,

107
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 2>a kind of wild and weird laughter coming from the graveyard.

108
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 4>I see. And of course the police have already blundered

109
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 4>into this case.

110
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Yessay? Have they searched the cemetery and found nothing except

111
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>for Gibbon's foot printsp well by Joe?

112
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 4>Well, what is it?

113
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, according to this newspaper account, the footprints ended abruptly

114
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 2>on the cemetery road, as though Gibbon had been picked

115
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>up by.

116
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 4>Some monson, get your hat and stick, must be off

117
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 4>to Kensington Cemetery at once, Note Watson Gibbons. His footprints

118
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 4>are quite clear here on the cemetery road. Luckily the

119
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 4>roads damped from the recent rain.

120
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>This whole thing has a touch of the supernatural, ghouls

121
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and all that sort of Who do you think did that?

122
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Weird love?

123
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 4>And we shall find out in good time, my dear,

124
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 4>and I I assure you when huh what is it?

125
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Note Watson, observe the footprints too.

126
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>That's stirring. The telegraph is accurate? The prince do end abruptly.

127
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 4>Not quite, Watson, not quite?

128
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean?

129
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 4>Look? The earth has been scraped to the side of

130
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 4>the prince and into the grass, as though Gibbons' shoes

131
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 4>had dragged years. Observed too, that these prints terminate less

132
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 4>than twenty five feet from the mausoleum of John Gibbon.

133
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Is it significant?

134
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Very? What did Jews latter? Watson later? At this moment,

135
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 4>I should like to examine the roof of the tomb,

136
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 4>the roof so jealously guarded by that marble image of

137
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 4>the eccentric millionaire John Gibbon a hose.

138
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't see anything up here on the roof.

139
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 4>Isn't you, Watson? Then you're obviously in need of spectacles.

140
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 4>There are definite scratches on the polished stone surface of

141
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 4>this cripp roof, He'll write. And what's more, they lead

142
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 4>to this tightly locked door. Come, Watson's be off to

143

<v Speaker 4>first a talk with a caretaker moulsday, and then we

144
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.000

145
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.600

<v Speaker 1>And now doctor Watson. Doctor Watson, you were relating to

174
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 1>us the adventure of the Curious Crypt.

175
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 2>This so I was, mister Harris.

176
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:11.480
<v Speaker 4>So I was.

177
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 2>As you recall, both John Gibbon and his son Cedric

178
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 2>had vanished under strained circumstances, and at Kensington Cemetery Holmes

179
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:23.600
<v Speaker 2>had conducted a thorough investigation, expressed his intention to return

180
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>and to the crypt at nothing at any rate. As

181
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>we came out, we stopped in at the cottage of

182
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.279
<v Speaker 2>the cemetery caretaker, Molson.

183
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 4>You had a screamed malsby and then a kind of

184
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 4>wild laughter.

185
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 5>Is that correct, Yes, mister Holmes, it was terrible, terrible

186
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.399
<v Speaker 5>enough to chilli man's blood.

187
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I see a question, Wilsby. Yes, sir, the rules

188
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 4>on the entrant sign state specifically that no visitors are

189
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.000
<v Speaker 4>allowed in Kensington Cemetery after dark. How does it happen

190
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 4>that you admitted Gibbon for the gate.

191
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 5>Well, mister Holmes, he was John Gibbons Sadden, and the

192
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 5>old Gentleman's an important person here, so to speak, built

193
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 5>the biggest tomb in the graveyard. I couldn't very well

194
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.639
<v Speaker 5>refuse his son, and as he said, he only wanted

195
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 5>to take a look at his father's too.

196
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 2>It didn't strike you strange that he wanted to view

197
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the crypt and the dead.

198
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 5>Of night, well nose, we get some pretty queer customers

199
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:15.799
<v Speaker 5>visiting the cemetery.

200
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I see one more question, Willsby. Have you ever

201
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 4>met John Gibbon, the old gentleman.

202
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.559
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Noster Holmes, I've only been here a month or two.

203
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 5>The only part of mister Gibbon I've met is that

204
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 5>stone statue of him on the crypt room.

205
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I see, Well, Molesby, at the moment, there's no more

206
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.480
<v Speaker 4>information we require. Thank you, come Watsons after, But.

207
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 2>We didn't find out much sir.

208
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.039
<v Speaker 4>Oh in the country, Watson, we did h what? Surely

209
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 4>you've noticed that Mowlesby was slightly bow legged?

210
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Bow legged, homes, what did you do?

211
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:50.639
<v Speaker 1>More Over?

212
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 4>His eyes were watery blue and squinty.

213
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 2>But I should I suppose he did. What's a man's

214
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.519
<v Speaker 2>eyes and legs.

215
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 4>Got to do? With many details, Watson, Perhaps significant, perhaps irrelevant?

216
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 4>I Ah, what is it? Look here on the path, Watson,

217
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 4>a silver dollar?

218
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 1>What is that?

219
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.720
<v Speaker 4>Rather unusual? Don't you think, Watson, to find a silver

220
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 4>dollar lying on the ground outside an English cemetery, I

221
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 4>suppose to insqued. I'm beginning to see the pattern here

222
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 4>of a devilish and ingenious plot when we returned to

223
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 4>the graveyard here tonight, I hope to unearth the last

224
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:41.559
<v Speaker 4>few missing friends, Watson. They're in luck to night. It's

225
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 4>enough moonlight for clear observation. Observed that massive marble building

226
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 4>just on the other side of that deep hollow ahead.

227
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Yers the Gibbon too, an infernal statue of old John

228
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Gibbons standing on the roof. I must say, the juicy

229
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:55.559
<v Speaker 2>thing looks almost alive.

230
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 4>The Watson pres her, I believe I just saw the

231
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.960
<v Speaker 4>statue move move. Yes, it raised its arm and turned

232
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.080
<v Speaker 4>its head toward us Homes.

233
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>You must be mistaken a statue of John Gibbons made

234
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of stone. It can't move, Good lord, what.

235
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Was the statue? It's laughing, Watson, Joe Holmes, You're right,

236
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 4>look at it. It's running across the mass of them

237
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 4>roof homes.

238
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 2>This is incredible, incredible. My eyes must be playing tricks

239
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>on me.

240
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 4>I jumped off the tomb roof. It's running aross the graveyard. Quick, Watson,

241
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 4>after it.

242
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Hoose We last sight of it. We ran down into

243
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>that hollow.

244
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.559
<v Speaker 4>It came up the hill here, Yes, and the roof

245
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 4>is empty now's.

246
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 2>But how could a stone statue run and laugh like

247
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 2>a media?

248
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 4>Obviously the statue was human. Come, let's get up on

249
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 4>the roof. Yeah, I'll give you a hand, right hold now, Watson. Nope,

250
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 4>this supporting pin on which the statue stood observed how

251
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 4>shiny it is.

252
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.919
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean?

253
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 4>It means that the real statue, the stone figure, has

254
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 4>been removed from this supporting pin and carried away for

255
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't miss my guess. It's in the interior of

256
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 4>the crypt, and our next step is to force open

257
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 4>this metal crypt door. I pose Yes, someone's been here before.

258
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Us, perhaps he Perhaps the thing is inside the tomb.

259
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 4>Now as perhaps obviously the only way to find out

260
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 4>is to enter the tomb and see for ourselves with

261
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:28.200
<v Speaker 4>your pistol handy. Yes, then let's proceed down these stone steps.

262
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Hose Why haven't you started down the stairs with you?

263
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 4>In a second, Watson? But first I.

264
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Knows what the deuce are you doing up there?

265
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Merely closing the crypt door behind us? Now, then let's

266
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.960
<v Speaker 4>go down. We could use your dark lantern now and

267
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:57.039
<v Speaker 4>hold it up. Uh huh. Observed the stone statue was

268
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.159
<v Speaker 4>lying on these stairs, and you kicked it down, and

269
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 4>by its sound, it's a hollow affair, probably a marble

270
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 4>surface over a plaster base, and easy enough for a

271
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.759
<v Speaker 4>strong man to lift. Now, suppose we go down to

272
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 4>the crypt itself, hosey place seems to be opted. Oh

273
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 4>on the country, Watson. Look in the corner, good lord,

274
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.360
<v Speaker 4>the precisely two bodies, one John Gibbon, the other his

275
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 4>son Cedric.

276
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>The marks on the neck, the mean strangles.

277
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.799
<v Speaker 4>They have indeed, in a fiendish and unique way, I

278
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 4>might add, Hi, humph, there's a silver casket here on

279
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 4>this raised platform. Another whim of the eccentric old gentleman

280
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 4>John Gibbon.

281
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Os, you're not going to open it?

282
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.279
<v Speaker 4>I am indeed, ah.

283
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Homes good heavens.

284
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Watson, as you see, it's full of silver dollars.

285
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 4>And what's listens?

286
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Footsteps on the crypt roof right, we have a visitor,

287
00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.639
<v Speaker 2>the fiendish killer.

288
00:15:59.159 --> 00:15:59.759
<v Speaker 4>Quick up, that.

289
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 5>Grieving mister Hoe, Doctor Watson. I left the crypt door

290
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 5>open for you. You are riding your fools. Walk right

291
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:11.600
<v Speaker 5>in hose.

292
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Who is it?

293
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 4>Who's quite obvious, Watson. This man is Hugo Gibbon alias

294
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.120
<v Speaker 4>Small's be the caretaker. Hugo Gibbon, precisely, the brother of

295
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.080
<v Speaker 4>old John Gibbon and his former partner.

296
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 5>Yes, mister Holmes, you are very clever. I and yougo Gibbon,

297
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 5>that cursed brother. My rob me, cheated me, ruined me,

298
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.759
<v Speaker 5>sent me to an asylum. But I escaped.

299
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I escaped.

300
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.799
<v Speaker 4>I came back. Yes, you came back and discovered that

301
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.799
<v Speaker 4>John Gibbon hid his fortune in his own mausoleum. You

302
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.440
<v Speaker 4>gained employment here, saw him come to the tomb and

303
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.440
<v Speaker 4>posed as the statue in the dark. He was unaware

304
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.879
<v Speaker 4>that you were alive. Then when he walked underneath. You

305
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 4>lassued him and strangled him. Who I'm ster Holmes, go on,

306
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.360
<v Speaker 4>you are right. You did the same to his son Cedric,

307
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.159
<v Speaker 4>who finally suspected that his father's wealth was buried here.

308
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 4>You took the crypt door key from old John's pocket,

309
00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 4>hid both bodies here and started to carry the silver

310
00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 4>dollars out.

311
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.960
<v Speaker 5>Yes, mister Holmes, you are very clever, but it won't

312
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 5>do you any good because I'm going to lock you

313
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 5>both in this pit. Bury you alive, and when you're

314
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 5>both dead, I'll come back for the rest of the

315
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 5>money in the casket.

316
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Who's gonna strap your night, mister Holmes.

317
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.440
<v Speaker 5>Dr Watson, good night and peasant rains.

318
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 4>Quick Watson, have your pistol ready and after him up

319
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 4>the stairs. Hurry the doom door and slacked her. It's

320
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 4>not I smashed the lock before we entered. Watson. There's

321
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Hugo Gibbon running through the cemetery in the moonlight. Quick

322
00:17:35.960 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 4>fire pistol. Good shooting, Watson. You got him, well, Watson,

323
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.240
<v Speaker 4>a man, Hugo Gibbon is safely in the custody of

324
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 4>Scotland Yard. Your shot was not fatal, but he will

325
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.160
<v Speaker 4>pay his debt to the crown.

326
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>No, it seems incredible hurt. So Gibbon alias Molesby hid

327
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the real statue in the crypt, posed on the roof himself,

328
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and lasued is unsuspecting victims sake exactly.

329
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.880
<v Speaker 4>You will recall how the footsteps ended, but the marks

330
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.720
<v Speaker 4>on the grass indicated that something had been dragged across it.

331
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.319
<v Speaker 4>Hugo simply hauled in his rope with his strangling victim

332
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:29.799
<v Speaker 4>on the end of it.

333
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:31.839
<v Speaker 2>But how'd you know Mosby was actually Gibbn.

334
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh, It's obvious, Watson. Only a man who'd lived in

335
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.160
<v Speaker 4>the West could cultivate such skill. With the lassoo and

336
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.319
<v Speaker 4>the caretaker, I knew immediately was a Westerner. But his

337
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:43.319
<v Speaker 4>legs were bowed, a characteristic symptom of long hours in

338
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 4>the saddle. Then too, his eyes squinted, another trait of

339
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.039
<v Speaker 4>ranchers used to staring at far off horizons. Naturally, I

340
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:54.640
<v Speaker 4>thought immediately of John Gibbons's brother, an old ranching partner.

341
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Hugo, and the silver dollar you found near the cottage

342
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.319
<v Speaker 2>convinced you that he had robbed the two Quite holmes,

343
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I must congratulate. I have never seen you conduct a

344
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:04.519
<v Speaker 2>more brilliant investigation.

345
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.680
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Watson. I am, as you know, fundamentally a

346
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 4>man of modesty. Shall we merely call it extraordinary?

347
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Let it go back, well, doctor Watson, that was quite

348
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 1>an adventure, sir.

349
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.799
<v Speaker 2>It was indeed, mister Harris. And I might add that

350
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 2>the police, at Holmes's suggestion, excavated the caretaker's jar and

351
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:43.119
<v Speaker 2>discovered some two hundred thousand silver dollars buried there, most

352
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.519
<v Speaker 2>of which had come from deep recesses in the walls

353
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.359
<v Speaker 2>of the given crypt.

354
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I have fortune in those days, doctor Watson. And now

355
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.200
<v Speaker 1>what about next week's adventure.

356
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Next week, mister Harris, I shall relate to you the

357
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.680
<v Speaker 2>adventure of the Red Death. It concerns a bottle of

358
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>laundry ink, a vengeful see captain, and what was probably

359
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the greatest threat to the population of London in that decade.
