Speaker 3: So draw up.
Speaker 2: Your usual chair, settle down. Thanks, doctor. Oh that's it
Speaker 2: all alone this evening.
Speaker 4: Doctor, Where are the puppies hard on the Petrie.
Speaker 3: They had a most unfortunate encounter with the dead seal
Speaker 3: on the beach this afternoon.
Speaker 4: In consequence that a little malodorous.
Speaker 2: In that case, doctor, Perhaps we'd better change the subject.
Speaker 1: So suppose I ask you about tonight's new Sherlock Holmes advances, Well,
Speaker 1: my boys.
Speaker 3: I told you last week the story took place in
Speaker 3: the foul alleyways of Limehouse.
Speaker 4: It was there on a foggy December evening in eighteen hundred.
Speaker 3: And ninety that my story began. An old friend and
Speaker 3: patient of mine, I So Whitney, had disappeared and his
Speaker 3: distraught wife would come to me for help. Knowing the
Speaker 3: man to be the victim of the shocking habit of
Speaker 3: making opium, I.
Speaker 2: Suspected that I might find him in one of the vile.
Speaker 3: Dens inhabited by the dregs of the waterfront, and so
Speaker 3: mis about tell. About five o'clock on that December evening,
Speaker 3: I began my search. After an our fruitless wanderings, I
Speaker 3: found myself in a vile alley called Upper Swandham Lane.
Speaker 3: I could hear the distant moans of the river boats
Speaker 3: as I walked, eyes alert, and hand on the revolver
Speaker 3: in my coat put.
Speaker 4: Suddenly I saw.
Speaker 2: A steep flight of steps.
Speaker 4: Leading down to a black gap, like a mouth of
Speaker 4: a cave.
Speaker 2: I walked down. The steps were worn hollow in the
Speaker 2: center by the ceaseless tread of stumbling feet.
Speaker 4: I reached the bottom. A door faced me.
Speaker 3: In Above it a fricking oil lamp wren't warning to men.
Speaker 3: I found the latch and lifted it. The door s
Speaker 3: creaked up and protesting me, and I entered. There was
Speaker 3: a tinkle of Chinese windows. As I walked towards a long,
Speaker 3: low room.
Speaker 2: A strange sight met my eyes.
Speaker 3: Through the gloom, thick and heavy with a brown opium smoke,
Speaker 3: I saw that the room was terraced with.
Speaker 4: Wooden bursts, like the forecastle of an elegant ship.
Speaker 3: Out of the shadows they glimmered little red circles of light,
Speaker 3: now bright, now faint as a burning poison, waxed or
Speaker 3: waned in the metal pipes. Bodies lay in strange fantastic poses,
Speaker 3: bowed shoulders, bent knees, heads thrown back. The tendant came
Speaker 3: up to me with a pipe and beckoned me to
Speaker 3: an empty birth. I haven't come here to smoke your
Speaker 3: filthy drug. I'm looking for a friend.
Speaker 2: Misteries of Witnes nought me still wheat me here. I'm
Speaker 2: going to search the place.
Speaker 4: You must not disturb the pin carrying a revolver, so
Speaker 4: you'd better not argue with me.
Speaker 2: My good man, out of the way.
Speaker 3: I searched a filthy den, but found no trace of
Speaker 3: my missing friend. As I was leaving despair, a long
Speaker 3: shaking hand reached out and plucked at my sleeve. I turned,
Speaker 3: and there, sprawling a berth, was the wreckage of a man,
Speaker 3: his gaunt face, yellow and twitchy, his clothes filthy and ragged,
Speaker 3: and the pupil of his eyes pinpoints.
Speaker 4: He spoke to me in a thin, quavering.
Speaker 2: Get me out of here.
Speaker 4: Now look here, my man.
Speaker 2: Don't say you governor, and you got darge.
Speaker 4: Please help me.
Speaker 5: Come take you out of here.
Speaker 2: Start you think I'm vomited? You what most you expect
Speaker 2: if you're indulge this filthy habits. Take you out of here, Governor.
Speaker 5: I'll go straight this time, cross me out.
Speaker 2: I will well come along with me. I suppose it's
Speaker 2: my duty to help you. Pleasure give me your arm.
Speaker 4: You cannot take him. You owe me money.
Speaker 2: That's a breeding lie.
Speaker 4: I'll tell him what I'm coming on.
Speaker 2: He cannot go with you with you.
Speaker 3: Remember what I said about my revolver, you blackguard. We're
Speaker 3: having them more trouble with you. I'll fetch the police.
Speaker 4: Come along.
Speaker 3: He owe me money, He owe me money, Governor.
Speaker 4: Off you didn't.
Speaker 2: Now look here, my good ma'am. I'll give you a.
Speaker 3: Square meal, some advice and some medical attention.
Speaker 2: But the rest till I'm the advice Watson. But I'll
Speaker 2: take you up on that square meal homes. Yes, I
Speaker 2: better get to see you all, fellow. What brought you
Speaker 2: to that opid den of iniquity?
Speaker 4: Oh me up?
Speaker 2: I want to find a friend and I an anime.
Speaker 2: Your disguise is wonderful, completely fooled men. But I'm afraid
Speaker 2: that proprid of was beginning to penetrate it. That's why
Speaker 2: I staged the little rest you've seen, and I've been recognized.
Speaker 2: My life wouldn't mean it worth an hour's purchased?
Speaker 4: How long had you been there?
Speaker 2: Why were you there? Come on, Holmes, tell me all
Speaker 2: about it. A pleasure, old chap the first, let's find
Speaker 2: a chop house. I want that square meal, you promise
Speaker 2: me an excellent Neil Watson.
Speaker 3: They're surprisingly good for such a surely looking place. Well, Holmes,
Speaker 3: now perhaps you will tell me what you were doing
Speaker 3: in that opium den. I've already told you my story.
Speaker 2: I'm shadowing the most unusual criminal and then who haunts yous.
Speaker 2: Yet I know that he himself is not an addict.
Speaker 3: I don't see if he were a criminal about that
Speaker 3: you might be looking for thriller. Perhaps he's one of
Speaker 3: those writer fellows or something.
Speaker 2: But this man pretends to be an addict. I've watched
Speaker 2: him closely. He fixes smoking and grease paint has enabled
Speaker 2: him to simulate the characteristic color of a drug. Victim
Speaker 2: even affects the typical mennerism of no scratching. But it's
Speaker 2: his eyes that give him away. The pupils a wide
Speaker 2: open exactly, old fellow, Whereas if you were really addicted
Speaker 2: to the drug, they would, as you know, be contacted.
Speaker 2: I myself always treat my eyes with a special one
Speaker 2: of a special kind of drop on the occasion when
Speaker 2: the woman I have to enter these deads.
Speaker 4: Why does a man haunt to helpe him then?
Speaker 2: In order not to smoke that man, Dear Watson, is
Speaker 2: the problem that I intend to solve. Perhaps the fellows
Speaker 2: a policeman or a private detective like your self, Holmes.
Speaker 2: I've already checked on those possibilities. No, Watson, believe there
Speaker 2: is only one answer. I believe the man is planning
Speaker 2: a murder, a murder setting for a murder. Here victim
Speaker 2: is an addict, drugged and helpless. Your witnesses there are
Speaker 2: in an equal state of the futtlement. The party is
Speaker 2: anxious to cover off the crime because of the police. Yes,
Speaker 2: now the question is who is the intended victim that
Speaker 2: my dear watching is why I've been shadowing this man
Speaker 2: unfortunately was not present in the Then we just left,
Speaker 2: but I intend to continue my search homes. Can I
Speaker 2: help you?
Speaker 4: My My wife's a wetler.
Speaker 2: A long time since we were on a kiddy sponsibly delighted,
Speaker 2: my dear Chap. I've missed you sadly during the past few.
Speaker 4: Months, and I you Holmes, what's the next move?
Speaker 2: Back to Baker Street? Okalo. My disguise is wearing thin,
Speaker 2: and I must contrive a new one. You disguise, eh, Well,
Speaker 2: which one shall it be? Watson? How about the old
Speaker 2: flower Sellar? I love that one.
Speaker 4: Well it's pretty.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, my dear fellow. Now hardly appropriate for
Speaker 2: an opium dinner in any case. The clothes, there's a
Speaker 2: wretchedly uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: Well how about the music halls were Chap?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't want to be behind the same side.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be It's hard to say.
Speaker 4: I don't want to.
Speaker 2: Struggle along the from from from where the brass band
Speaker 2: plays totally on pole, cons founded. Who can that be
Speaker 2: if you weren't expect in my way?
Speaker 3: Now this is just like the old days, the doorbell ringing,
Speaker 3: Missus Hudson toddling off and bringing up some poor devil
Speaker 3: in trouble and a fellow.
Speaker 2: Don't tell me that you're repentive marriage No, of.

Speaker 1: find someone else that does. This is the last you'll
Speaker 1: say of me, mister Hall.
Speaker 2: Life is full of little consolations. Hmm. People seem to
Speaker 2: think that money can run. That's your foot, mister Laytons.
Speaker 2: That I've been seeking a man who pretends to be
Speaker 2: an opium smoker. While basis you'll let him get away here,
Speaker 2: I'll go after him. No, no, no, no, don't, buddy,
Speaker 2: I've already arranged for that. Oh ha. When I left
Speaker 2: the room just not to talk to MISSU Hudson, I
Speaker 2: was intending to tell her to summon some of my
Speaker 2: dam the street urchins. You know what theyke a street
Speaker 2: to regulars. When she informed me that Haffa does not them.
Speaker 2: We're in the kitchen at this very moment, by taking
Speaker 2: one of her incomfortable staking to replies, the rest should
Speaker 2: be obvious.
Speaker 4: Reference trusts to wow of them to shout up to
Speaker 4: Laton when.
Speaker 2: He left her elementary. My dear Watson, Oh, don't tell
Speaker 2: me that Layton back again. No, I think not. I
Speaker 2: should say that at the moment he's just about out
Speaker 2: of the front door. No, I think we shall have
Speaker 2: another visitor. And judging by the commotion, the incoming and
Speaker 2: the outgoing visitors know each other and are not on
Speaker 2: the best term. That sounds to Mears of her having
Speaker 2: a fight. It comes Miss Hudson to tell us about it.
Speaker 4: I mean, King, mister Holmes, you've got another visitor.
Speaker 2: So I gathered missus Hudson. You gave my instructions to
Speaker 2: one of the boys. I did that young Wiggins was
Speaker 2: going to follow.
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, Missus Hudson, What was all that commotion about downstairs?

Speaker 2: report me.
Speaker 4: Ah, you're taking no chances Herms. You're having this fellow
Speaker 4: shadow too.
Speaker 2: Leyton is a potential murderer, and that I'm convinced this
Speaker 2: mister Chumley might possibly be his intended victim while we're
Speaker 2: talking to him. What's now, fellow? I want you to
Speaker 2: be sure to look at the condition of his eyes.
Speaker 2: Certainly will come in. Oh, good evening, Missus Chumley. Why you,

Speaker 2: one from you, your hatt and love, sir. That man
Speaker 2: is out to kill me. Holmes.
Speaker 6: Well, if you won't help me, I'll go through the pully.
Speaker 2: That's an excellent idea, is chummy again?
Speaker 4: Good night?
Speaker 2: Did you notice his eyes? What's me?
Speaker 3: If the pupils were contracted, he's obviously no feel man
Speaker 3: and also a potential copse.
Speaker 2: What do we do now? Wait for the irregulars to
Speaker 2: a partner. You return home for your medical bag. I
Speaker 2: have a feeling that you'll need it before the night desired.
Speaker 2: Then come back here. I've gone. Before your return, I'll

Speaker 3: dear Watson.
Speaker 2: When you're able to recognize me, indeed, be the king
Speaker 2: at the end. When your eagle eye penetrates my disguise,
Speaker 2: I shall realize that my retirement is imminent. But enough
Speaker 2: of this.

Speaker 3: with a broken tiled roof.
Speaker 2: Yes, I gave you irregulous instructions to let me know
Speaker 2: at once if our two quarries ever entered the same house,

Speaker 2: I'll be very long.
Speaker 7: I'll be here, Homes, don't worry about me. Just take
Speaker 7: good care of yourself. It's one o'clock.
Speaker 3: I'm no wigans he's been in there half an hour.

Speaker 3: See watching your house, Wiggins. We are the five minutes helpful.
Speaker 3: Please watch as all right, homes all right.
Speaker 6: You have searched my house from basement to rekick.
Speaker 5: Why do you not give up?
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what getting There has been no one.
Speaker 4: Here tonight that my friend came in here half an hour.
Speaker 2: I saw him, and before that, two other men.
Speaker 4: Are known to have come in here.
Speaker 6: If that is sold, then where are the three men
Speaker 6: cannot done it?
Speaker 3: That's just the point, you scoundrel, out of know where.
Speaker 3: I'm going to search this hubble again. I'm not leaving
Speaker 3: here until I find mister Shellock Holmes.
Speaker 1: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
Speaker 1: a second, And if you don't mind, I'll take that
Speaker 1: second to say just one word to the ladies, and
Speaker 1: that word is musk Tell, Petrie California, muscateell. I want
Speaker 1: you women to know about it because Petrie musk Tell
Speaker 1: is one wine that practically every woman likes. Maybe because
Speaker 1: it's such a beautiful color, like pale gold. But I
Speaker 1: guess really because Petrie Musketell brings you the wonderful flavor
Speaker 1: of luscious sun ripe and muscat grapes.
Speaker 2: And that's a flavor.
Speaker 1: Try Petrie Musketel after dinner or anytime as it changed
Speaker 1: from Petrie port. Remember if it's a Petrie wine, you
Speaker 1: know it's a good wine. And now back to doctor
Speaker 1: Watson and tonight's story the eyes of mister Layton.
Speaker 2: Well, what happened next? Doctor?
Speaker 1: When you search the house for the second time, did
Speaker 1: you find any trace of Sherlock Holmes, of the two
Speaker 1: rival businessmen?
Speaker 2: I'm afraid I didn't. What did you do?
Speaker 3: I told Wiggims to report the matter to the nearest
Speaker 3: police station, and then rattled back to Baker Street at
Speaker 3: a handsome cab as fast as I could. When I
Speaker 3: arrived at the old familiar doorstep, I wrenched the bell
Speaker 3: in a frenzy of anxiety.
Speaker 2: Finally the door opened.
Speaker 4: Let's took missus Hudson after watching?
Speaker 2: Which is it?
Speaker 4: Sir?
Speaker 2: Oh, you're as white as a ghost. Mister Holmes, is
Speaker 2: he here? I said, come in half an hour ago?
Speaker 2: He was just as a sailor and was half carrying
Speaker 2: some drunken friend of this.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank heavens, he said, I'll go up all right,
Speaker 3: Sir Holmes, I can't tell you how glad I am
Speaker 3: to seeler. Who's that lying on the sofa?
Speaker 2: Oh I'm pretty bag button. Oh I'm afraid the poor
Speaker 2: devils done for it's got it's Wayne Lake and the
Speaker 2: American Fuller. The knife wound between his rips. See what
Speaker 2: you can do a point with.
Speaker 4: Him right extre at home. You said that Layton was
Speaker 4: a potential murderer, and now he's a.
Speaker 5: Victim himself the bitter bit.
Speaker 2: Yes, he's still breathing me.
Speaker 3: He hasn't a chance A time was an injection of Stickney, Holmes,
Speaker 3: How did you get his body out of the house.
Speaker 4: I searched the place from top to bottom. I found
Speaker 4: no trace of any of you.
Speaker 2: When I went in, I found the stabbing had already
Speaker 2: taken place propara. Then brighten me or rather than broke
Speaker 2: down sell, he took me for to smuggle the body
Speaker 2: out to the secret stairway leading to the worlds at
Speaker 2: the back of the house. No trace of cham No,
Speaker 2: he must have blessed before me. But the same exit.
Speaker 4: Then you smashed the window and bolt it.
Speaker 2: Yes, I knew that I could come on. You hold
Speaker 2: the port while I was getting the body away. Trying
Speaker 2: to say something, Watson, the Ejacson's beginning to take effect. Yes,
Speaker 2: mister Layton, what are you trying to say? Tell us
Speaker 2: who stabbed your sir? Lips are moving, man, he's dead home. Yes,
Speaker 2: he gave us the clue murderer's identity. How in the
Speaker 2: word he mumbled just before he died.
Speaker 4: Sounded to me as if he said mendel, which.
Speaker 2: Old fellow never did a corpse. Give us a care
Speaker 2: of instruction to our next and final move, and that
Speaker 2: is back to Limehouse, Watson, Back to Limehouse. Here we
Speaker 2: are listened to the place. What's this another pim? Yes,
Speaker 2: I knew, since termally refrained from smoking earlier on in
Speaker 2: the night in order to keep his faculties led for murder.
Speaker 2: But an enormous reaction was set in that kind of
Speaker 2: den at once and beyond question, a different one from
Speaker 2: that which the murder has committed. Do you know that
Speaker 2: he's inside here? Just before you return to Baker Street tonight,
Speaker 2: I had a message from one of my irregulars. He
Speaker 2: cacked him here after he escaped the scene of the stabbing.
Speaker 4: A couple of hours ago. He might have slipped away again.
Speaker 2: Oh Watson to night. He came to drown here sentence
Speaker 2: with a wretched drive Hill here, come on, h That
Speaker 2: second injection of caffeine should bring him around. He's heavily dragon.
Speaker 2: But I think it will work. Rising on a five
Speaker 2: found note will do, isn't it. Yes?
Speaker 4: He propried to let us bring Chamney into his private room, and.
Speaker 2: He's coming to.
Speaker 4: M Who are you?
Speaker 2: Who? What what do you want? You remember me, Sir
Speaker 2: Michelle Holmes, Yes, yes, I remember you. You're in serious trouble,
Speaker 2: mister Chimney, very serious trouble. Trouble what troubled? Wayne Layton
Speaker 2: didn't die, He badly wounded, but he's going to live.
