I'm sure I can get it. 187 00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 5: It was just a bit of paper. 188 00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,759 Speaker 4: Give it to me, some sort of note baits. 189 00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,399 Speaker 5: Give it to me, I said. 190 00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: Come to Thorbridge at nine this evening, and it's signed 191 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:17,039 Grace Dunbar. 192 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,639 Speaker 5: Was it her handwriting? Oh yeah, Apparently she doesn't deny that, 193 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,960 if the papers can be believed. What's more, she was 194 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000 seen at the bridge on the evening of the murder 195 00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:32,200 a reliable witness. A passing local is the best description 196 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,879 of I found. That could be the village idiot or 197 00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:37,240 the village of Parsing. She has no alibi for any 198 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,039 of the rest of that evening. She stayed in her 199 00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:41,120 bedroom up and was seen by no one and the 200 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:52,360 strongest of all, Yes, strongest of all.

I swear whatever you 209 00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:14,200 saying is did you patronize me? 210 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 5: Serge? 211 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,039 Speaker 4: What you got Jennings here? 212 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,639 Speaker 2: I've never seen that before. 213 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 5: Wow. 214 00:12:20,879 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 4: Wow, it's loaded too with five bullets. 215 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,639 Speaker 13: One's been fired. 216 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 3: Money is nothing I have of your bottom. This woman 217 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,000 is innocent and has to be cleared. Money is nothing. 218 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,200 You can burn it if it'll light you. 219 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:41,799 Speaker 4: To the truth. 220 00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 5: Name your fank you my professional charges on a fixed scale. 221 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: You don't vary them, only when I remit the law together. Well, 222 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:53,840 if dollars make no difference to your think of the reputation. 223 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,879 If you pull this off, every paper in England and 224 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,279 America will be booming you. 225 00:12:58,399 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 5: Thank you, mister Gibson. 226 00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 12: But I don't. 227 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,759 Speaker 5: But I'm in need of booming. What perhaps if we 228 00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:06,720 could just get down to the facts, mister Gibson. 229 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 3: Well, you'll find all the main ones in the press reports. 230 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 5: Can't you add anything that will help us? 231 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,159 Speaker 3: I don't know that I can. But if you have 232 00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:18,360 any specific questions and ask away, there is just one point. 233 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 5: What is it? What were the exact relations between you 234 00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:23,679 and miss Dunbar. 235 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 3: I suppose you're within your rights and asking such a question. 236 00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:30,759 Speaker 5: We'll agree to suppose. 237 00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:35,039 Speaker 3: So then I assure you that my relations were entirely 238 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,200 those of an employer to a young lady on his staff. 239 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,879 Speaker 5: I only ever spoke to her. 240 00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:42,159 Speaker 3: I only ever saw her when she was in the 241 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,480 company of my children. 242 00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,639 Speaker 5: I'm a busy man, mister Gibson. If now have the 243 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:48,159 time all the taste for aimless conversations, good morning. What 244 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,919 the devil do you mean? Are you dismissing my case? Mary, 245 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000 mister Gibson, I'm dismissing you. This matter is quite complicated 246 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,879 enough without the added difficulty of pulse information. 247 00:13:56,799 --> 00:13:58,039 Speaker 3: Meaning that I'm lying. 248 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 5: Well, I was trying to put it as delicate as 249 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,120 I could, but you insist on the word. I won't 250 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,519 contradict you, the insufferable scoundrel. 251 00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:05,879 Speaker 3: I ought to teach you. 252 00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 5: On that's and being noisy. It's too soon after breakfast. 253 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 3: You've done yourself no good this morning, mister Holmes. No 254 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,080 man ever crossed me and was the better for it. 255 00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 5: I've broken stronger men than you. So many have said so, 256 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:37,720 and yet here I am mm hmm. Any views a 257 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,200 man used to giving his own way, whatever obstacles may 258 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,519 be in his past. Do you think he'll come back? 259 00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:52,080 He's sure to come back. He must come back. 260 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 12: Dinner. 261 00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 5: Oh no, you say just where you are there. 262 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: It looks disgusting. 263 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:12,159 Speaker 4: You don't want it. 264 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:14,879 Speaker 5: Say the word is. Others will be grateful for the extra. 265 00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:19,519 Speaker 2: I do want it. But when I get out of here, 266 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,759 I shall see that something is done about these conditions. 267 00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 5: Well you know, well, I look forward to that. 268 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,639 Speaker 2: Shallock Combs is working on my case. 269 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:49,399 Speaker 14: Do you hear me? Shallock Homes, These are more like you? 270 00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 9: No family herald this morning after zoom, Well, you're not 271 00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:00,440 eating really is very good, and I'll come on bad enough. 272 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 5: He was starving, So when you have a case, I 273 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,000 had a case after four miserable weeks of bored him 274 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,639 and decay. And what did that do? I threw it away? 275 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,759 Speaker 12: They might still come back. 276 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 5: I misread the man completely. These things happen not to me, 277 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,360 to everyone. I was sure he wouldn't let the case 278 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,399 drop everything about himself. So what's the matter with me? 279 00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:25,919 Nowhing's a bit more breakfast and a little less self 280 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,639 ditty wouldn't remedy?

So mister Gibson didn't authorize your letter, now, 294 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,119 mister Holmes, does he even though you wrote it? 295 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:42,319 Speaker 12: No? 296 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,079 Speaker 15: The Senator engaged my services to defend miss Dunbar. He 297 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,279 told me he wanted the best defense money could buy. 298 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,039 I've done no more than follow his. 299 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 5: Instruction by sending for us exactly against the wishes of 300 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,119 your employers. 301 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,839 Speaker 15: Really, Watson, understand your concern, doctor, But I'm sure I 302 00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:06,680 can persuade mister Gibson that this is the best course. Frankly, gentlemen, 303 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,640 at the moment, all the cards are against us. My 304 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,160 client needs all the help. 305 00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 5: She can get. 306 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,759 Speaker 2: I'll tell you anything you. 307 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 5: Want to know. Good, start with this. What was your 308 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,400 relationship with mister Gibson's wife. 309 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,079 Speaker 2: That's not an easy question to answer. Until this terrible 310 00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:29,519 business happened, I would have said that she liked me 311 00:18:29,559 --> 00:18:34,359 well enough. Well, perhaps tolerated me would be a better phrase. 312 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,519 Speaker 4: My client was in sole charge of the children, after all. 313 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,519 Speaker 10: Missus Gibson would hardly have permitted that if she didn't 314 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:41,599 think she was a fit person. 315 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 5: Did she know of your relationship with her husband? 316 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 2: She knew I had some influence over him. 317 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 5: Did she know the nature of that influence? Do you 318 00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:50,880 not an exact detail? 319 00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 12: No? 320 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 2: Then perhaps I should furnish you with exact detail. 321 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,559 Speaker 5: If you consider the matter to per phase do. 322 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: I was able to make him understand and that one 323 00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:04,160 man's fortune shouldn't be built on the ruined lives of 324 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,680 ten thousand others, that all his power and his strength 325 00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:10,960 could be made to work for good purposes and not 326 00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:15,559 just material ones. I made him see past the dollars 327 00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:17,319 to something more lasting. 328 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 5: You're claiming to have changed the entire direction of his life. 329 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: That is precisely what I did, sir. 330 00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 5: What was missus Gibson's reaction? 331 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,279 Speaker 2: The subject was never mentioned. I don't believe she was 332 00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:31,839 capable of understanding the ties that bound her husband too. 333 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,079 Speaker 5: Surely she understood completely. 334 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: The mental and spiritual ties. 335 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 5: What was your attitude towards her? 336 00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:45,839 Speaker 2: I pitied her? Why because mister Gibson treated her very badly. 337 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,119 A woman shouldn't be afraid of her own husband. It 338 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,640 isn't right. 339 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,559 Speaker 5: Did she know how you felt? Oh? 340 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: Yes, I often reproached mister Gibson for the way he 341 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,319 behaved towards her. 342 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,559 Speaker 5: In public, Miss Dunbar, before the other servants. 343 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: Certainly, doctor, I'm not in the habit of concealing my 344 00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,200 beliefs as if I were ashamed of them. 345 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,799 Speaker 5: You said, until this terrible business happened? How's missus Gibson's 346 00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:09,920 death changed your mind? 347 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,759 Speaker 2: It wasn't her death, it was what happened just before it. 348 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 6: Or schemingdeedlore defeat was scheming a lion. 349 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,759 Speaker 2: She was like a mad woman. I think she might 350 00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:27,480 actually have been insane. First, you see my chest, my husband? 351 00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 5: What more did you want? What's next? You want my choice, 352 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,759 my momy, my glass? Well tell me just a moment, what, 353 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,480 mister hurms? Well, exactly did this meeting take place? 354 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: When on the night of the murder at nine o'clock 355 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,720 on thor Bridge? 356 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,759 Speaker 5: So you were at the bridge that evening. 357 00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:47,319 Speaker 4: My client has never denied it. 358 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 5: Have you asked missus Gibson to meet you there? 359 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 2: No? No, of course not. 360 00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:54,279 Speaker 5: Oh that's the impression we gained from the newspapers. 361 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 2: Missed on doctor Watson. A lowly governess does not summon 362 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,720 the wife of her employer to meetings. It was the 363 00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:04,680 other She asked you, yes, doctor, She asked. 364 00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 5: Me, mister bar you mean that literally? What did you say? No? 365 00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 2: She didn't speak to me. She sent me a note. 366 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 5: Oh where is this note? 367 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,839 Speaker 2: I destroyed it? Why? 368 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 5: Star? 369 00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: Because she asked me too. All this has been gone 370 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,279 over before, not by me? 371 00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 5: What did this note say? The exact wording she asked 372 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,759 me to meet? No? No, No, the exact wording. 373 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact wording she asked me. No, 374 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,240 she implored me to meet her at the bridge after dinner. 375 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 5: Did you say why? 376 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,079 Speaker 2: Because she had something important to say to me, something 377 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,880 that had to be said in private. I was to 378 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,440 leave an answer on the sun. 379 00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:44,759 Speaker 5: Dial in the garden. Didn't astrike? 380 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,079 Speaker 2: It was odd, of course it did, But she said 381 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,759 that secrecy was vital, that no one must see us 382 00:21:50,759 --> 00:21:52,160 discussing anything out of the ordinary. 383 00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:54,519 Speaker 5: Did that explanation satisfy you? No? 384 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: But I thought I knew the real reason. 385 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,319 Speaker 5: She didn't want her husband to know about the. 386 00:21:58,279 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 2: Meeting exactly, So I did as she asked and destroyed 387 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,960 the note, whereas she kept your reply very carefully. 388 00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:07,759 Speaker 5: Yes, I was surprised to hear that you didn't notice 389 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:09,000 in her hand when you met him. 390 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,799 Speaker 2: I was rather too distracted by what she was saying. 391 00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 5: That cause, when she made these accusations, what did you answer? Nothing? 392 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,960 You didn't try to defend yourself. 393 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,519 Speaker 2: She wouldn't have heard me. I don't think she even 394 00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:24,559 noticed when I left. 395 00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 5: How long did you stay with her not more than 396 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,960 a few minutes, so you left her at say, five 397 00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:32,319 past nine of the latest. What time did death occur? 398 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 4: Coming the police doctor couldn't be sure if you never care? 399 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 8: Did he venture an educated guess two to three hours 400 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,759 before he examined the body, which was well eleven thirty 401 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:43,400 of that night, So she was. 402 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 5: Killed not long after you left her, Miss Dunbar, you 403 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,799 see anyone else in the area as you walked away? No, mister, 404 00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:52,839 did you hear a shot? No? But but what. 405 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 14: Well? 406 00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:58,319 Speaker 2: I'm ashamed to say that I was so agitated after 407 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,359 the things she said, I was hardly capable of noticing anything. 408 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 5: A considerable pity, I'm aware of it now. The vital 409 00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:12,880 point this pistol that was found in your room? Had 410 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:19,160 you ever seen it before? What the devil? Senator? If 411 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,079 you'll just let me explain what my god, I'll have 412 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,440 you despard for mister Gibson, please listen to reason. I 413 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,200 don't know why you think you're here anyway. It's Holmes 414 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,319 who's the detective? Is I am mister Holmesy's partner. We 415 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,480 worked together, not for me. You don't I thought I'd 416 00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:38,519 made that clear. You said, have made several things abundantly clear. 417 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,680 What the devil is that supposed to me? I thought 418 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,839 I was acting for the best answer me, sir, No, 419 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,319 mister Gibson, you answer me. Do you socerely want to 420 00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:48,599 see miss Dunbar say from the gallows? This sort of 421 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,880 question is the short I should care to have answered. 422 00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:54,720 Of course I do, man, But then you stand in 423 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,279 need of my services. There are other detectives. You came 424 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:00,880 to me in the first face because you were told 425 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,759 that I was the best. You were not missing fault. 426 00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 3: I wasn't told that you were damnably rude, and no 427 00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:06,319 respect of privacy. 428 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 5: I respect only the facts, the clue, and what is 429 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:18,680 the truth that Grace Dunbar is no murderer? Can you 430 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,599 prove that? Yes? I can. 431 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,839 Speaker 3: I'll see you in my office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. 432 00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:40,079 Speaker 5: Good timing, mister Cummings. Another half hour and the light 433 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,319 will be gone. Forgive me, but it is there. 434 00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 4: Likely to be anything to see after all this time? 435 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 5: Probably not, But Holmes likes to get a feel for 436 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,960 the scene of the crime. Soak up the atmosphere, you understand. 437 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 8: Ah, well, mister hums, she was found. 438 00:24:55,799 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 5: Oh sorry, that's very good. 439 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 4: Are you saying the body was found just over there? 440 00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:07,000 The police marked the spot with those stones. 441 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:10,519 Speaker 5: Very good. I was lying on the back any traces 442 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:14,400 of a struggle? Na, don't tell me about the note. 443 00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,319 Speaker 8: It was clutched in missus Gibson's left hand clutched so 444 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,599 I understand they had to prize open her fingers. 445 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:19,559 Speaker 12: To get it. 446 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 5: You know something about that note that had been bothering me? 447 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:23,799 Me too? 448 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 16: Carry on, well, assuming that the reports were accurate, it 449 00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:30,559 said come to thor Bridge. 450 00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 5: At nine this evening that spot on Dotter, But miss 451 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,519 Dunbar insists that it was a reply. Hardly reads like 452 00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:41,319 a reply, now, does it? Excellent Watson? 453 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 8: But Miss Dunbar swears that what she wrote was I 454 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:50,039 shall come to Thorbridge. I've been working on the assumption 455 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,160 that part of the sheet was lost when it was removed. 456 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,039 Speaker 5: Ah, so one edge of the paper was tall? Well, 457 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,400 actually no it wasn't. It's interesting, interesting, peculiar or like 458 00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:01,200 some great It's a paper do tear and a clean 459 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:07,839 straight line? True enough? What the devil homes. 460 00:26:09,519 --> 00:26:10,039 Speaker 11: Come here? 461 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,839 Speaker 5: What were you doing ruining a perfectly good walking cane? 462 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:20,160 I can see that whife I haven't seen I was 463 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,599 trying to ship the stone work to see if I 464 00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:32,480 could reproduce this. Let's see, Oh yeah, gooded a chip 465 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,240 out of the balustrade. M looks fresh. Curious, isn't it. 466 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 8: You've probably done by a passer, by a rambler, or 467 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,440 sometimes you think so. 468 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,599 Speaker 5: You must have some interestingly violent ramblers in this district. 469 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 3: Are you sure you won't have one of these? 470 00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 5: Quite all right? Just as you like. Now, where's your 471 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,480 pardner talking to the stuff delegation? Eh? 472 00:27:03,519 --> 00:27:08,519 Speaker 3: I never believed in it. I suppose you were quite 473 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,519 justified in wanting the facts. But I can assure you 474 00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:16,079 that my relationship with miss Dunbar doesn't have any bearing 475 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:16,680 on this case. 476 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 5: Just for me to decide. 477 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 3: I guess most men have a little private reserve in 478 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,559 some corner of their souls where they don't welcome intruders. 479 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,359 I'd say you knew all about that. 480 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:34,559 Speaker 5: By discussing you, not me, and you burst right into 481 00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:35,119 that area. 482 00:27:35,799 --> 00:27:38,799 Speaker 3: I'm not used to being treated like that. Now, now 483 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:42,440 the barriers are down and you can explore where you will. 484 00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:49,319 What do you want to know the truth? Well, I 485 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,319 met my wife when I was gold hunting in Brazil. 486 00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:01,440 She was rare wonderful and passionate, tropical, very different from 487 00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:06,400 the American women I've known. I loved her, and I 488 00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:10,599 married her. It was only when the romance had passed 489 00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:15,079 that I realized we had nothing, I mean, absolutely nothing. 490 00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 5: In common your love. 491 00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:21,279 Speaker 3: Fitted I'm not pretending to be any better than I am. 492 00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:27,359 You've seen miss Dunbar. She's a very beautiful woman. I 493 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,720 couldn't live under the same roof as her and not 494 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,880 feel the way I did. Do you blame me, Holmes? 495 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,759 I said that I'd marry her if I could, indeed, 496 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:43,880 but since that wasn't possible, I offered to do anything 497 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,920 in my power to make her. 498 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 5: Happy if she would do the same for you. 499 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 3: I told her money was no object. 500 00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 5: Very generous, I'm sure I see here, Holmes. 501 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 3: I'm not asking for your criticism. 502 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,799 Speaker 5: It's only for the young lady's sake that I touched 503 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,319 your case at all. Nothing she's accused of is worse 504 00:28:58,359 --> 00:29:01,160 than what you've just admitted. You try to ruin at 505 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,920 a fastless girl who was under your protection. Some of 506 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,839 you rich men have to be taught that all the 507 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:16,480 world can't be bribed into condoning your offenses. Fine beast, 508 00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:17,160 mister bitch. 509 00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:20,519 Speaker 4: Here is that daughter, missus Gibson. You were good ana 510 00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:21,640 moment she saw one. 511 00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:25,079 Speaker 5: He was hurt. Oh yes, how did missus Gibson get 512 00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:25,759 on with the start? 513 00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 4: You won't find anyone with a word to say against. 514 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:30,319 Speaker 5: Her, including miss Dungbar. 515 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 4: I don't know how she met her death, but this 516 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,200 I do know. We all liked her, and we all 517 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,319 hated him for the way he treated her. He's a villain, 518 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,160 doctor Watson, a damned villain. A strong language, Mister Bates, well, 519 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,359 I have nothing to lose now by speaking my mind. 520 00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:49,319 I've given him notice. Two more weeks and I'll be 521 00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:52,240 free of his slavery. I was going with Your family's 522 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:55,039 worked on this land for generation. My great grandfather was 523 00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:57,599 the first estate manager, and it's been father to son 524 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,079 ever since. But not anymore. I want you to give 525 00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:03,759 mister Holmes a message. 526 00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 5: Will you do that? 527 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 4: M What is the message? Gibson's not what he seems. 528 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,200 All these good works and charitism, the rest, it's all fake. 529 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:20,480 He's plausible, and he's coming, and he's not to be trusted. 530 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:29,039 Speaker 3: I believe my wife was planning to murder Miss Dunbar. 531 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,240 Think he Maria was bitterly jealous of grace and of 532 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,920 the influence she had over me. 533 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 5: Oh, I asked the hospital's the charity work of famine relief. 534 00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:40,759 Cummings furnished me with a list. Most impressive. 535 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,279 Speaker 3: Well, my wife had never been able to turn my 536 00:30:43,359 --> 00:30:46,880 mind in that direction. And sir, she was jealous, mister Holmes, 537 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,759 she was crazy with hatred, and. 538 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,359 Speaker 5: That fact since of eluded Miss Dunbar for at least 539 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,400 until their final meeting. 540 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:55,279 Speaker 3: Maria was a clever woman, well able to keep her 541 00:30:55,319 --> 00:30:56,960 feelings hidden except from you. 542 00:30:57,279 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 5: Seemingly, you don't get. 543 00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:02,599 Speaker 3: Far in this life unless you can see under the 544 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,799 skin of people. 545 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:05,799 Speaker 5: Very true. 546 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,799 Speaker 3: I think that there was a scuffle, the gun went 547 00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:13,079 off and shot the woman who was holding it. 548 00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:15,079 Speaker 5: But miss Dunbard de eyes any such thing. 549 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 3: That's not necessarily final, is it? 550 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 5: What do you mean? I mean? 551 00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:22,759 Speaker 3: She would have been bewildered in shock. She could easily 552 00:31:22,759 --> 00:31:25,039 have hurried home and hidden the gun, not knowing what 553 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:25,799 she was doing. 554 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 5: And now she's trying to lie her way out of it. Yes, yes, exactly. 555 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:40,039 Speaker 12: Here you are, doctor the gun room. 556 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 5: Very impressive, mister Ferguson. 557 00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:45,039 Speaker 12: There are over three hundred handguns in the collection. 558 00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 13: The earliest is forteen century Chinese, a rich man's poppy. 559 00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:54,839 Speaker 14: I supose, and the murder weapon an eighteenth century Spanish revolver. 560 00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:56,359 Speaker 12: I identified it for the. 561 00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 5: Police as part of this collection. 562 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,039 Speaker 4: I knew it at once. 563 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:03,079 Speaker 5: You're familiar with all these guns, and part of my 564 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,359 duties as private secretary an unusual part. 565 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 4: Mister Gibson is an unusual man. 566 00:32:11,359 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 5: Where is it kept? 567 00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 4: Oh, cabinet number ten? 568 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 5: You don't keep these cabinets locked, mister Gibson's orders? What 569 00:32:21,799 --> 00:32:23,640 about ammunition? Is that more secure? 570 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 16: Most of the collections kept beloaded at old times? 571 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,039 Speaker 5: Good God? Do you approve of that? 572 00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 4: Oh? 573 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,559 Speaker 5: One does not disapprove of the senator, not openly. 574 00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 4: The police still have the gun, of course, But I 575 00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:39,240 can show you the case here. 576 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:47,559 Speaker 5: Thank you. This case is made for two guns. Yet 577 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,160 then where's the other one? I'm afraid I don't know. 578 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,680 The second gun is missing? Might interest you? This is 579 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,640 an interesting case around. But what else do you discover? 580 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,400 I'll tell you when we get to where we're going. 581 00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:15,519 What is this place? It's mister Bates private firing range. 582 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:18,640 It's the entire household obsessed with duns. Your gold king 583 00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:23,319 suddenly is he has his own range, indoors, mechanical targets, 584 00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:27,160 soundproof shields, all the latest gadgets, whereas mister Bates and 585 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:31,839 uses himself to empty bottles perched on a wall. Intriguing contrast. 586 00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:34,240 Why are we here because it's a good way from 587 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,440 the house, we can talk and observedly unremarked, and a 588 00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,160 suppose many visitors that thor place end up here. I 589 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:46,119 thought of that. I borrowed these from Baits, not as 590 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,960 exotic as anything from the Gibson collection. But just as 591 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,880 he think he wasn't surprised, I tell him the target 592 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,079 practice helped you think he believed you. Why shouldn't he. 593 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,880 It's no stranger than playing the violin, starving yourself, or 594 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,440 sending up all night smoke. A devotee of the Strand 595 00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:04,279 magazine is in. I have my followers just as you 596 00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:11,639 have yours. Now the Governess, Missus Dunbar, the estate manager, 597 00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:20,119 mister Bates, the private secretary, mister Ferguson, and mister j 598 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,800 Neil Gibson. I say, we've been thinking on parallel line. 599 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:30,199 Choose your weapon, mister Holmes, thank you, Doctor Watson. Bullets 600 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:35,519 already loadly, Clark, Shall we lead on that wanted to 601 00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:38,599 be got twenty paces and turn them five. Yes, how's 602 00:34:38,599 --> 00:34:51,280 about riding? Miss Dunbar is innocent your reasoning, imagine yourself 603 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,039 and her claric all right, in a cold, pre meditated fashion. 604 00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:55,840 You're about to get rid of a ripe. I planned it. 605 00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,440 I've written the note. Until you're heard to the bridge, 606 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,000 I have my gun face and you shoot, workman like 607 00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:03,960 and complete. What do you do next? I get rid 608 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,480 of the murder weapon by the quickest, cleanest method. I 609 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:09,320 throw it in the stream. Of course you do. You're 610 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,840 not going to do anything so stupid as take it 611 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,559 home and hide it carefully in the first place where 612 00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:14,960 anyone's being to search it. Blew in your reputation as 613 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,679 a criminal, perhaps in that he's the most or a 614 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,960 deliberate ploy who throws on the set. Miss Dunbar is 615 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,519 in the sun. H good shooting. Thank you, And as 616 00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:33,679 it happens, I agree with you. Man. Now, once your 617 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,920 point of view changes, so does everything else. The one 618 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,880 thing that was so dabbing becomes our strongest clue. Someone 619 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,800 put the gun in the wardrobe to incriminate Miss Dunbar. 620 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,360 But who mister Bates Holmes was next on your list. 621 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:53,159 I think, I'm not sure. Perhaps he doesn't have one. 622 00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:57,360 Tell me about him, well, he hates Gibson. Indeed, that's 623 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,440 hardly surprising. Really, Bates family have managed this estate for generations, 624 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,480 and now he is this upstart American making sweeping changes left, 625 00:36:04,559 --> 00:36:06,519 right and center. Does Bates hate him enough to kill 626 00:36:06,519 --> 00:36:08,559 his wife and frame the woman he loved? Oh? I 627 00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:11,000 don't think so. For one thing, he was very fond 628 00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:13,440 of Maria Gibson, he told you so, he didn't need to. 629 00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:17,400 And for another, how could killing her change anything anyway? 630 00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:20,880 And he couldn't getting rid of Grace Dunbar might a 631 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,679 gold king with nothing to live for set sail back 632 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,360 to America. That part's plausible, but not killing a woman 633 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,480 to do it. I don't believe it. Besides, Bates has resigned. 634 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,480 If you were right, he'd stay in the job long 635 00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:36,679 enough to see if his plan worked. Be my guests, 636 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,920 and dang kill I've stayed in practice. He's got a joke. 637 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,119 Certainly not good, mister philperson. 638 00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:49,559 Speaker 16: He's a sort of Gibson in training. General opinion in 639 00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:51,480 the servants hall is that he thinks his master can 640 00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:54,360 do no wrong. I rather got the impression that things 641 00:36:54,400 --> 00:37:00,280 have changed, disapproves of the new direction the charity worked, and. 642 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 5: Told me then Ferguson isn't as good at hiding his 643 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,239 feelings as he thinks he is. That's a strong motive. 644 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,800 Remove Miss Dunbar and the old days may welcome back again. Unfortunately, 645 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,039 Gibson also told me that Ferguson was in London on 646 00:37:13,079 --> 00:37:15,320 the night of the murder. Provable, ironically enough, he was 647 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,639 collecting a charity award on Gibson's behalf several hundred witnesses 648 00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:20,440 of impeccable honistone. 649 00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:24,519 Speaker 16: Your turn, I think, thank you, which leaves us with 650 00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:26,280 the gold king himself. 651 00:37:27,159 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 5: Motive remove the obstacle to happiness with Miss Dunbar, opportunity 652 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,599 ample and their face cheaked enormous. Oh it put me 653 00:37:35,639 --> 00:37:37,440 the first time I've been retained by a murderer to 654 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,199 solve his end crime. What asked the pistols, who has 655 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,400 better place to take them? And Holmes? 656 00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:48,639 Speaker 16: The second gun, the one that's missing, That was the 657 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,199 murder weapon, not the one the police found at all. 658 00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:54,199 Gibson fired off one round from that one, then hid 659 00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:56,480 it in the wardrobe and used the matching weapon to 660 00:37:56,559 --> 00:37:57,199 kill his wife. 661 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,119 Speaker 5: Afterwards, he just threw it in the river. Very sound reasoning. 662 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,559 But why implicate the woman he loves? I don't know. 663 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,119 A blind man'll be carrying bare face cheek too far, 664 00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:12,280 I think, even for him. Well, then why do I 665 00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:18,840 keep seeing that chip in the stomach? I unfortunately another 666 00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:31,400 why why? Oh, my dear Watson, you've got it. With 667 00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:34,079 the help of the God of justice, I'll give them 668 00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:38,480 a case that'll make England ring. And it was Gibson, 669 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:45,840 Jay Neil Gibson, Oh no, my friend, it was someone 670 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:56,039 quite different. Very well, the clouds are listening, and the 671 00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:57,239 light of truth. 672 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,079 Speaker 3: Is I hope you have more than offer than second 673 00:39:01,159 --> 00:39:01,960 rate poetry. 674 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 5: Holmes, I believe I have, mister Cummings, string. 675 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,280 Speaker 4: If you please, you are, But I really don't see spatials. 676 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:17,639 Speaker 5: Watson. Your revolver excellent solid firearm. It sounds that to 677 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,760 compare with the murder weapon, mister. 678 00:39:19,559 --> 00:39:22,159 Speaker 3: Gibson, I'd say it was a touch. 679 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,679 Speaker 5: Smaller, probably a touch lighter. Say well, no matter, it 680 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,360 will serve mister Cummings. Take charge of the diasel. Would 681 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,880 you go, Holmes? If you know who killed my wife, 682 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,199 why can't you just come out and say that knowing 683 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,079 is one thing proving is quite another. Watson here has 684 00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:41,079 seen me miss my mark before, and is he about 685 00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:44,559 to again. Well, I try find me a stone. That's 686 00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:48,239 a good chap. I beg your stone round reasonably small, 687 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,199 about so big? There are plenty over there. Now. If 688 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,800 I tie one end of the string gun and the 689 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,039 other'll come a long Senator, it's a simple enough. I 690 00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:02,800 pretend you're looking for gold. This is hardly a time 691 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,559 for levity homes. No, you're crist right now. If you 692 00:40:05,559 --> 00:40:07,440 will hold the stone for a moment, then I can 693 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,039 get my string securely around it. 694 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 4: The holmes, what are you suggesting? 695 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,679 Speaker 5: No, don't anticipate the climax. Thank you doctor. Now, mister Gibson, 696 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,480 if you'll relinquish your stone to Watson with pleasure, thank 697 00:40:20,559 --> 00:40:23,119 you doctor. If you walk straight across to the other 698 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,000 edge of the bridge and lower the stone over the side. 699 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,800 If I gaze the length of string correctly, it should 700 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,079 stop just above the water level. 701 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 4: Let's see. 702 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right ready to take the strain. Ready, I'm 703 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:49,679 letting go now, I'm standing missus Gibson stone and I've 704 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,400 done everything that Missus Gibson did, the string, the stone, 705 00:40:55,679 --> 00:41:06,079 the gun, the shot, ah, I fall backwards and the 706 00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:07,400 goal of the gun. 707 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:16,559 Speaker 16: Now, if you are examining the stonework, a new chip 708 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,159 not two inches from the. 709 00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:21,079 Speaker 5: Old one, as your gun may have been righter than hers, 710 00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:23,519 doctor and just pulled over that balustrade with just as 711 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:26,119 much force. Drag the river Cummings, and you will find 712 00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:30,119 Missus Gibson's suicide weapon dying right next to Watson's pistol. 713 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:38,679 Was there ever a more exact demonstration? Senatory? 714 00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:59,199 Speaker 12: Oh God, oh your gun? All right? 715 00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, seemed far worse than a quick dip in a string. 716 00:42:07,199 --> 00:42:10,039 I didn't think we've ever come across a stranger example 717 00:42:10,119 --> 00:42:12,159 of what perverted love can bring it back. 718 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:12,639 Speaker 12: Hmm. 719 00:42:12,639 --> 00:42:15,639 Speaker 5: I agree with you. Apply it all out like that 720 00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:20,159 markable subtlety of mind, the late Missus Gibson extracting that 721 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,440 note from a victim and changing it the way she did. 722 00:42:23,039 --> 00:42:25,280 I believe that's human. Well you should know. 723 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,559 Speaker 12: Yes, yeah, God is new splendid. 724 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 5: Until the next time I suppose m a drink. 725 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,559 Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. 726 00:42:41,559 --> 00:42:46,800 Speaker 5: You know I was very impressed with miss Dunbar. We've 727 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,719 helped a remarkable woman a formidable mass. Yes, indeed, do 728 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,880 you suppose they'll join forces in the future? It seems 729 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,960 likely powerful combination. Why would will make its mark on 730 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:07,159 the world? Yeah, no question, thank you. Two very different people, 731 00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:11,679 of course, it is more in common than is visible 732 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:17,119 to the naked eye. A recipe for success is that 733 00:43:17,199 --> 00:43:26,679 a fact? Uh, your very good health and yours. 734 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 7: In the Problem of Thorbridge, Sherlock Holmes was played by 735 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,519 Clive Medrison and Doctor Watson by Michael Williams, with William 736 00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:48,440 Hootkins as Jane Neil Gibson and Charlotte Attenborough as Grace Dunbar. 737 00:43:49,679 --> 00:43:53,280 Maria Gibson was played by Jilly Bond, Joyce Cummings by 738 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:58,000 Charles Simpson, Marlow Bates by Michael Tudor Barnes, Ferguson by 739 00:43:58,039 --> 00:44:02,519 Mark Straker, the police Sgt.
