I'd never recognize you, gentlemen, But 225 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.159 what brought you to this address? I'll explain it later. 226 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.960 Comest to Brome, who is being murdered? A Chinese gentleman 227 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:17.279 got himself down in was he strangle? I don't rightly know, sir? 228 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.159 What do you mean you don't know? Surely the evidence 229 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.480 of strangulation is perfectly easy to detect. I suppose it is. 230 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:27.120 But you see, in this case, mister Romes, the corpse 231 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:43.480 ain't got no head. In just a moment, we'll rejoin 232 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.159 Shellack Combs and doctor Watson, leading hair specialists in this country, 233 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.360 constantly advises to take better care of the hair we've got, 234 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.879 and men don't forget. One of the first requisites of handsome, 235 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.440 healthy looking hair is a hygienic scout. So right, buy 236 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.919 just any hair dressing when you can enjoy the extra 237 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:06.440 benefits of this highly specialized cremal hair tonic. Crammel contains 238 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.120 a special combination of hair grooming ingredients which has never 239 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.320 been duplicated in any other hair tonic. That's why Kremill 240 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.720 keeps hair in place longer, always looking neat and orderly, 241 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.279 But Kremmel does lots more than keep hair looking handsome. 242 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.759 Kremmel is simply great to lubricate a dry scalp. At 243 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.960 the same time, it removes dandra flakes and leaves your 244 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:31.360 scalp feeling so alive and invigorated. And men, if your 245 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.519 hair is so dry it breaks and falls when you 246 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.440 comb it, Cremil actually helps condition the hair in that 247 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.159 it makes it feel softer, more priable, and look as 248 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.960 if it had some body to it. So men, buy 249 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.600 a bottle of Cremel at any drug counter, ask for 250 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:49.080 an application at your barber shop. Use Cremel daily for 251 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:53.519 better groomed hair. For a more hyggienic scalp. K R 252 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:58.519 E M L Kremol hair tonics. Well, doctor Watson, what 253 00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:59.919 happened next, my boy? 254 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.559 We quickly entered the house and examine the scene of 255 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.519 the latest tragedy. 256 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.000 Constall Meadoweather seemed to be in. 257 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.600 A sudden heaven of delight to realize that he was 258 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.960 working on a case with a great Sherlock Holmes himself. 259 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.639 I'm glad you are here and now, mistake, mister Elms, 260 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:16.720 I'm a little out of my depth in a case 261 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:18.600 like this, and I don't mind admitting. 262 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.039 Mellowether is a great admirer of yours homes. 263 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.159 He's read every story that I've written. Indeed, you will 264 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:27.360 have a strong constitution constable, though, I will admit that 265 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.960 this case presents as bizarre problem as my friend, as 266 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:35.159 they've included in his rather sensational accounts. What I can't 267 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.879 understand is why they took the head. 268 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.559 For that matter, how. 269 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.799 Was it stolen? Before we farize, let us assemble the facts. 270 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.879 Has the body been identified consortable? Yes, sir, you see 271 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.639 he had a missing finger on one end. Then obviously 272 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.080 the head was not stolen in order to make identification 273 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.320 of the corpse difficult. Who is the victim? A Chinese 274 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:59.039 merchant but the name of Lee Ming ran a sharp 275 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.480 downstairs in the basement. Please describe the circumstances under which 276 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.519 you'll discover the crime, well, gentlemen, I was on my 277 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:07.759 beat and I saw the dead man walk up the 278 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.200 stairs from the basement and go into the house. As 279 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.440 priced the time a day with me he did two 280 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.039 hours is down. I stopped to talk to the fishmonger 281 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.440 outside his shop, and must have talked to him for 282 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.679 fifteen minutes or more. One time was this Merriwetheron, just 283 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.799 up to ten o'clock, sit, I see? Please continue, well, sir, 284 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.200 all the time I was watching this house, Suddenly there 285 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.399 was an owl ring and a yelling, and I runs 286 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.759 back to find the man lying in here with his 287 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.519 head gone. You were watching the house all the time, 288 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.120 you say, Merriwellon, Yes, sirs, just idle like. But I'll 289 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.879 swear no one went in or out, which means it's 290 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.919 somebody inside the house must be the killer. That's what 291 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.840 I think. Doctor. Who are the other tenants? Well, mister Olmes. 292 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.879 On this floor there's an old Chinese lady, a servant 293 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:55.080 of the dead man. She was, but she's afterward with rheumatism, 294 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.919 and I swear she couldn't have done it. But upstairs 295 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:04.120 there's a Chinese gentleman, Prince Food. Send Prince the surroundings. 296 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.440 He's got quite a place too. Then you've already interviewed him. 297 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.639 Oh yes, sir, He and his nephew up there swore 298 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.480 they didn't have nothing to do about it, but the 299 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:16.120 young fella acted mighty suspicious light. Perhaps you would like 300 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.360 to go up there, sir. I know you'd angle these 301 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.919 foreigners better than me very welcomes the moon. Let us 302 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:34.840 visit Prince Food send at once, Come on in there, 303 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.960 Come on, open up in the name of the law. 304 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.639 I'm afraid the name of the law doesn't appeal to them, 305 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.480 unless I'm much mistaken. The barricading sernits on the other 306 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:45.080 side of the door. 307 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.879 If the three good showers can take homes. 308 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.399 Good idea, Watson, Come on, one, two, three, once more, mister rounds, 309 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.720 and we'll do it. You have no right to break 310 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.000 in like this, Oh yes we have, mister adld fool. 311 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.240 You're under suspicion of committing murder. I've already told you 312 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.640 that I know nothing about it. Then in that case, 313 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:09.240 mister fool, why barricade the door? Who blazes are you? 314 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.599 I am Sherlock Holmes, and this is my colleague, doctor Watson. 315 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.200 Why may I ask? Is that partially packed lapstone bag 316 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:19.319 lying on the city there where you were thinking of leaving? 317 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.519 Of course I was, And so you know nothing about this? 318 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.599 And why admitted gilt by running away? 319 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.039 Because I know this policeman suspected me. They call me 320 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.319 a new rasion that I'm westerned by instinct in education, 321 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.440 because the color of my skin compels me to live 322 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.640 in this part of London. I knew that I was 323 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.440 bound to be associated. 324 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.119 With a Chinese crime. There's spite to your instincts and education, 325 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.720 mister fool. You seem to have a very poor opinion 326 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.440 of British justice. Where is your uncle, Princell Chen in 327 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.400 the study?

He is young, 352 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.400 young and fitter, but he will learn in time that 353 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:13.680 he is neither English nor Chinese. 354 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.640 Here's something far greater. 355 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:21.519 He is a man or a devil with your moralizing alcohol. 356 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.480 Prince Fool, you are a man of intelligence, and I'll 357 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.880 put our cands on the table.

I 360 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.039 believe they were both killed by an associate who was 361 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.920 afraid they might implicate him. They associated from the Constable's evidence. 362 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.960 Must be someone in this house, Prince Fool. I'm sure 363 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.799 that you're wise enough to appreciate your position, mister Holmes. 364 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.839 In my own country, I devoted my life to fighting 365 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.519 the ravages of drug traffic. 366 00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.319 Am I then to partake of its profits? 367 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:05.480 Look here? What is it comfortable on the desk? It's 368 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.440 a doctor's visiting card in Miss Sturgeon in the eighty 369 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:12.680 six Harley Streets, Great Scott. How do you account for 370 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.400 this principle? 371 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.160 I am completely bewildered. 372 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.119 I have never seen that card before, nor have I 373 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.880 ever heard of a doctor scher. 374 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.400 I suppose the wind master blown is ana fannic coincidents 375 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.599 and no mistake.

What's at home? We must search this 379 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:39.960 house from basement to chimney tops.

Once and I needed 389 00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.519 you to create a diversion to cloak my real activity. 390 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.960 When I have been having a most illuminating talk with 391 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.279 a certain tradesman by the name of Albert Blogs. Now 392 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.279 I know who our double murderer is, Good lord who 393 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.319 I suggest that we return to Prince food Saends flat upstairs. 394 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:37.960 There I shall make the matter clear to you.
