Blanid 41 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.159 Castle is an imposing fifteenth century ruin a few miles 42 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.199 outside the town of Cork. The castle is many his 43 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.800 stories high, and in the foremost tower, the famous blonistone 44 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:35.879 is situated. 45 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.520 What's supposed to be the point in kissing it, Doctor, 46 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:39.360 The stone. 47 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.000 Is considered a powerful talisman, and the legend runs at 48 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.319 whoever kisses it is endowed with eloquence for life. 49 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.039 To say, doctor, if I ever get over to Ireland, 50 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.479 I'll certainly kiss that stone. But you're such a storyteller yourself. Doctor, 51 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:53.800 how about you've kissed it? 52 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.879 No, it's about it. I'm I've had quite enough courage. 53 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.759 Courage made Cottagetonne. 54 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.159 Because the Blonistone is set in a most inaccessible position 55 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.479 on the outside wall, to kiss it discustom me to 56 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.759 luwer the candidate for eloquence over the rampart Head forest 57 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.400 with a friend hanging on to his heels. 58 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.080 From the top of the castle. That sound dangerous, Doctin 59 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.280 It was my boy, so much so that in recent 60 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.000 years a great robant Spikes has put round the parapet 61 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.159 to prevent an accident, though of course, at the time 62 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.960 to Night's story took place, there was no such guard, 63 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.800 and I have feeling that an accident did take place. 64 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.960 Telling me tell you the story from the beginning. Sherlock 65 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.159 Holmes and I were staying in the city of Cork, 66 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.240 where the Great Manager saw the singular affair, which the 67 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:42.879 local press had referred. 68 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.439 To as Epricorn murders. 69 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.199 A few days before departure for England, we paid a 70 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.080 visit to Blannet Castle. I must confess that I had 71 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.759 a certain desire to test the mileculous powers attributed to 72 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.840 the blondistone. I changed my mind, however, as Holmes and 73 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.240 I stood there high on the turrets of blod A 74 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.560 Castle and watched to terrify this ship being hauled up 75 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.800 by his ankles and. 76 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.039 Yelling at the top of his voice, pull me up, 77 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.240 Pull me up, Wiki, I think I'm going to faith. 78 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.360 Scott had no idea of kissing the Barani stone was 79 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.000 such a hazardous proceeding years. 80 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.040 It would seem that eloquence could be more easily obtained 81 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.560 than by hanging suspended by one's ankles from a battlement 82 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.639 with one hundred foot dropped below and kissing a piece 83 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:25.040 of stone. 84 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.480 Never do that again. I don't blame the puller. 85 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.600 And yet my dir chat on our way over here, 86 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.879 you expressed a sneaking desire to kiss the stone yourself. 87 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.399 I don't be very happy to hold your ankles if 88 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.120 you want to try the experiment than after witnessing the 89 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.199 servant chased Roman, then I suggested we make our way 90 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.439 back downstairs. I don't think there's much more to be 91 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:44.160 seen up here. 92 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.360 Well by the way homes. 93 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:51.120 Do you know the origin of the superstition regarding the blantone. 94 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.800 Yes, I do o chat the stone was done. The 95 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.279 stone dates back to the middle of the fifteenth century. 96 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.800 A certain Cormack McCarty called the Strong. I descend him 97 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.160 of the ancient kings of Munster, builder of this castle. 98 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.120 Chance one day to save an old woman from drowning. 99 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.240 Her gratitude, she off at Cornack a golden tongue which 100 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.560 would have a power to influence men and women, friends 101 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.120 and foes. As he willed, She told him to mont 102 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.680 the battleman kiss a certain stone in the wall five 103 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.519 feet below the gabrier running around the top.

Fortunately 239 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:11.879 they're not representative. 240 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.440 Yes, I must say, curse put on me like that 241 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.639 barmaid laid on him. 242 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.960 Watson. Yeah, did you see the glances which mister Hankins's 243 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.399 partner and his wife exchanged as the brawl started. There 244 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.639 was more menace to him in those glances than in 245 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.080 all the threats of all the little people in Ireland. 246 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.480 Yeah, I thought that there was something between them.

But there are forces at work here 250 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.679 that I don't like. I think Watson, that you and 251 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.200 I will be at the Blandystone at noon tomorrow. It's 252 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.279 possible that the bet made tonight is all part of 253 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.200 a depth plan, and I have a feeling that the 254 00:11:53.320 --> 00:12:09.759 bet is still on Cui Winny up here today, or 255 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.240 fellow at the top of the tier, isn't it? 256 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.440 Yes, it's just past noon. I wonder if that man 257 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.440 Hankin is going. 258 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:16.720 To keep the terms of his death. 259 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.919 We will soon learn in the meanwhile, Are you sure 260 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.360 that you wouldn't like to change your mind and kiss 261 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:21.399 the blandets down herself? 262 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:23.120 I'm quite sure they got here. 263 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.320 They come now, Yes, and kin as his partner, mister Copperhan. 264 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.519 The bet is on Watson. Good day you gentlemen.

Hold on to me, 289 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:38.879 hold on to him. 290 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.519 Oh he's gone. 291 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.120 I just couldn't hold him away. 292 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.320 Heavens, no man could survive that drop. 293 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.960 It's a cochormant. You deliberately let your partner slip to 294 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.559 his death. This is murder, which I don't understand. I'm 295 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.240 a strong man. But he just vanished out her hands 296 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.240 leg like a grease peak. Let me see your hands, 297 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:03.480 mister Cochorman's dreadful, dreadful. Now's grease on your hands. Greee 298 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.840 and with a faint trace of bootplacking. 299 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:06.799 Good lord home. 300 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.480 That means Watson. But someone knowing that Hankin was going 301 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.080 to kiss the bonistone smear his boots with grease so 302 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.720 that he would slip out of the grasp of whoever 303 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.639 was holding him. There's clever a method of indirect long 304 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.320 distance murderers ever I've encountered. 305 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:30.639 You hear the. 306 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.879 Remainder of Doc Watson's story in just a second. So 307 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.519 I'm going to remind you that Patrick California's sherry is 308 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.960 not only wonderful before dinner, but it's good almost any time. 309 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.399 If you had to choose just one wine for almost 310 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:47.879 any occasion, that wine would be Petrie sherry. Petrie sherry 311 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.559 is a perfect wine to serve in the afternoon or 312 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.000 in the evening. It's good before dinner, yes, but it's 313 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.919 swell after dinner too. In fact, with a bottle of 314 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.519 Petrie sherry on your shelf, you got practically a small 315 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.399 sized wine side. So get a bottle of Petrie sherry soon. 316 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.600 And remember you can't miss with any wine that has 317 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.200 the letters P E, T R I on the label, 318 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.919 because all Petrie wine is good wine. But doctor Watson, 319 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.519 this is quite a story you're telling us tonight. What 320 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.279 happened next? I suppose you went down into the castle 321 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:23.879 grounds and looked for the dead man's bottle. 322 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.919 We tried to mister Boutell, but the athologies were curiously 323 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.080 and cooperative. It refused to let a search, insisting of 324 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:31.600 the police be called first. 325 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.120 And so mister Botel. 326 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.360 Half an hour after the tragedy, Holmes and I found 327 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:37.919 ourselves standing in the Talley. 328 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.279 Police station as we told the story for the local sergeant. 329 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.200 Sure the stands be prayers, mister Holmes, this is a 330 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.279 terrible story you've told me. Tomorrow I'll be after resting 331 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.279 Sean O'Flaherty. He's a waiter at the end, the one 332 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.720 who sings that he is, that he is any things 333 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.799 like a breath of spring. I'm sorry to see him hang. 334 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.480 Good to you. No proof that he was possible for 335 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.360 the murder, proof, you say, sir, But I can't arrest 336 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.720 a big man of factory man like mister Copper, can I? 337 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.039 Or a fine lady like missus Hank. 338 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.200 But you can't arrest a man without any evidence of guilt. 339 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.840 I can't, can't. I then suppose I tell you that 340 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.679 Shan o. Faddy cleans the boats at the hotel where 341 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.840 mister Hank can be staying. 342 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.559 They then he had the perfect opportunity for the greasing 343 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.240 of Hankins boots this morning. 344 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.120 And we know he had a motive for harming him. 345 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.360 Your r sir, and for what I have hoarded the 346 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.559 dead man's behavior. Last night half a dozen people could 347 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.679 have heard him make the bet that he'd kissed the 348 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.720 blinding stone. Today, shan oh, faddy's a man, I'd have 349 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:39.000 to rest far tomorrow. What good heavens man? Aren't you 350 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.519 going to do something today?

He said, Oh, 353 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:48.600 he won't run away. 354 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.000 My your son? 355 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:51.720 Will you come back with me to the castle, and 356 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.440 said for the body they refuse to let me do 357 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.200 the lane and Saint Patrick's Day that I will not. 358 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:58.200 We would need a crew of helpers. 359 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.440 Where will I be after getting them on?
