Oh here we are once 4 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.679 more in Doctor Watson's study. Maybe we're not glad to 5 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.320 get here. We hadn't had a Sherlock Holmes story waiting 6 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.560 for us at the other end, we'd have never ventured 7 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.479 out on a night like this. 8 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.600 Pretty bad well around and mister it. 9 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.479 Is Doctor Watson. 10 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.200 There's a cold wind that chose it as the boone. 11 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.719 I had one hand holding my coat color and the 12 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:52.479 other holding my head. 13 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.119 All the way over, I felt. 14 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.520 As though some malignant deity were determined to keep me 15 00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.759 from reaching your door. Hear that wind homes reminds me 16 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.200 of what I just escaped from. 17 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.040 Oh it's typical Edinburgh weather, mister Bell, Perhaps you've heard 18 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.599 that there's no language richer in terms of reproach against 19 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:14.280 the howling wind and the Scots darling snow blind nell 20 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.319 lere scathering to mention just a handful all of them 21 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.280 words that carry a shiver with him es as Stevenson 22 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.760 so aptly puts it, Edinburgh pays cruelly for our high 23 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.040 seat and commanding views in one of the vilest climates 24 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.280 under heaven. She's liable to be beaten upon by all 25 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.840 the winds of the blow, to be drenched with rain, 26 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.280 to be buried in cold sea fogs out of the east, 27 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.439 and powdered with the snow as it comes flying southward 28 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.400 from the highland hills. The weather's raw and boisterless in winter, 29 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.640 shifty and ungenial in summer, and a downright purgatory in 30 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:49.159 the spring. 31 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.079 It sounds like a pretty unattractive place. 32 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:51.359 Doctor. 33 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.480 Well there you are entirely round, mister Bell. 34 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.760 Nowhere will you find such stark magnificence, such grim beauty. Edinburgh, 35 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.439 the great granite Sphinx of the North, crouching high on 36 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.000 a towering rock, looking across the intervening Plains. 37 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.960 To the waters of the Fourth and to the North Sea. 38 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:16.400 Fascinating, regal, splendid and cruel. Yes, I think this is 39 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.000 just the night to tell the story of the Haunted Bagpipes. 40 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.879 One of the weirdest and most gruesome adventures at homes. 41 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.719 Than I ever shared. The setting was Edinburgh and. 42 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:32.520 The motivating character Professor Moriarty Professor Moriarty, the man Holmes 43 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:33.919 called a Napoleon of crime. 44 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:34.479 Exactly. 45 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.680 I wondered when we were going to have another of 46 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.919 your famous bouts with Professor Moriarty. 47 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:40.919 They're always pretty hair raising. 48 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.840 Yes, and I think I can safely promise you that 49 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.199 this is the most hair raising of the lot. In fact, 50 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.120 it's so unbelievdly macabre and gruesome that I've never told 51 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.759 it to any but to my closest friends, those who 52 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.400 know that I'm a truthful man. 53 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.639 In fact, sometimes in the same. 54 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.840 Light of day, I doubt myself that this adventure really, 55 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.240 But a night like this brings it all back to 56 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.080 me in all its horror. Yes, mister Bell, on a 57 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.719 night like this, we realize that anything is possible. 58 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.039 Now, Doctor Watson, won't you please go on with the Sorry, 59 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.599 the shivers run up and down my spine in anticipation. 60 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.800 Certain it will. As I look back on that particular 61 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:21.800 is it to Edinburgh? 62 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.360 It seems that a cold fear settled into the very 63 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.039 marrow of my bones from the moment we got off 64 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.479 the train late one winter afternoon and caught our first 65 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.960 glimpse of Edinburgh Castle, rising bleak and menacing out of 66 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.039 a cloud of fog and rain. 67 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.599 There it is Watson and all its austere majesty Edinburgh Castle. 68 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.599 Nice, impressive file of stone, nice little grim. 69 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.599 No grimmer than its history. 70 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:53.840 Watson, part castle, part fortress, part prison. Wars have been 71 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.879 plotted there, Dancing has lasted deep into the night, Murder 72 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:58.960 has been done in its chain. 73 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.240 This is I'm to stand here chatting, let's get out, 74 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:02.759 and I. 75 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:03.520 Just confind it. 76 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.280 Read rain, Watson, you are getting soft. 77 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:07.280 This isn't rain. 78 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:08.479 It's just a good Scotch. 79 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.879 Missed, missed my grandmother, and I'm soaked to the skin 80 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.439 and my teeth a chatting my cast iNTS. 81 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:15.319 Thank heaven. 82 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.240 The town has a few mun hotels, nice hot tuddy 83 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:19.920 at the Royal. 84 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.399 Eh. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Watson, but this is 85 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.680 not a pleasure trip. We must forego the luxuries of 86 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.279 Princess Street and take up our quarters in the old town, 87 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.839 the old town homes. 88 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.600 You mean that we're going to live in one of 89 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.959 those crumbling graystone houses, all huddled together on the. 90 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.199 Slope reading up to the castle. 91 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.600 Exactly why there are nothing but tenements but those lands, 92 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.879 as they are called, once housed the flower of the 93 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.360 Scottish nobility. In the old days, this was a walled 94 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.319 city and space was at a premium. That is why 95 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.000 those crazy buildings star eight and ten stories. 96 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.680 Into the earth of the Day's a nobility here over 97 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.480 those tenements are full of goodness. 98 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.279 Those what true? What more suitable dwelling place could one 99 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.839 imagine for our friend, for a Samriati Professor Moriarty. Quite 100 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.439 you may have noticed, Watson, that London has been singularly 101 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.959 free from crime during the last few months, and for 102 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.160 a very good reason. Professor Moriarty was not in residence. 103 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.439 Oh you mean that you think we've succeeded in driving 104 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:14.839 him out. 105 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.120 No, Watson, let us not underrate the professor. He is 106 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.279 not in London because he has business elsewhere. But where 107 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.319 I confess I was in complete ignorance until the day 108 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.680 before yesterday morning, when I received a telegram informing me 109 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.639 that one of Moriarty's chief assistants had been seen trowling 110 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.959 through the graves at Greyfriars. Then I remember that Professor 111 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.600 Moriarty has a particular reason for hating Edinburgh. He's not 112 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.279 a man to forget his grudges, Watson. The question is 113 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.480 shall we be in time to prevent his revenge. But here, 114 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.279 get into this cab before you catch him. 115 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:51.199 William Mariatti in Edinburgh. I thought that the press is 116 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.199 even more forbidding than usual. 117 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.639 Okay, let us out in front of Saint Giles. 118 00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:16.319 Hi, I say, Holmes, Whys and Charles. 119 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.160 You're not going into sight seeing this Cammonday. 120 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.879 No, Watson, we must go from there on by Portland Trade. 121 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:23.839 Why put you in this, brother?

Their inhabitants have fled from them 163 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.120 like rats from a sinking ship. The rents have been 164 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.480 lowered to the vanishing point, and still there are no takers. 165 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.679 The people hereabouts seem to think the whole street is haunted. 166 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.559 Could we come up here and look the place over 167 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.600 In the daytime?

Hey, Watson, was just the wind in 215 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:31.799 the chimney you. 216 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:33.120 Would have with the devils. 217 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.919 No, I don't think I'll not be waiting to find it. 218 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.720 When the scarling begins to say the who said senators 219 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:39.360 that could were singing? 220 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:47.480 Adult she was fighting? 221 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.519 I would let chimney would stop moaning those two legends. 222 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:58.279 The house next door, the haunted bagpipes, the famous Edinburgh superstitions. 223 00:11:58.919 --> 00:11:59.960 I'd like to hear more about. 224 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.759 Well, I've heard more than I want to already found 225 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:04.440 that chimney. 226 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.759 That building next door is one of the so called 227 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.159 fatal houses. Fatal houses houses marked generations ago by the 228 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.559 Great plague. Discipline in the time of pestilence was sharp 229 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.519 and sudden. The houses having the disease were marked by 230 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.080 large cross. No one dared end or leave, furniture was 231 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.200 destroyed and houses sealed up. In those houses of which 232 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.080 one or two still remain, the plague is supposed to 233 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.200 lie ambushed like a basilisk, ready to escape and spread 234 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.320 sickness and death through the city once the doors are open. 235 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.919 Or was that ridiculous homes ridiculous? Germs can't sustain themselves 236 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.039 like that. Oh, at least we have no medical evidence. 237 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.279 If they can, she'd gone to hotel. 238 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.639 The other legend is not quite so gruesome. 239 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.559 I'm a law to hear. 240 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.919 It's about a secret passage that is supposed to have 241 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.080 existed in the time of Mary, Queen of It's Courts, 242 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.840 between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, which lies at the 243 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.639 other end of town. About century and a half ago, 244 00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.960 a piper made a bet that he could walk the length. 245 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.919 He started at the castle, piping merrily. The crowds were 246 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.279 able to follow him through the streets above. By the 247 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.960 sound of the scurling everything was going smoothly. They followed 248 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.960 the sound down from the castle along the top of 249 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.519 the hill. Just about here the piping stopped suddenly in 250 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.799 the middle of a note, and that was the last 251 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:18.600 that was ever heard. 252 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.240 Of the piper, noxious gas was poplar. 253 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.720 Some say the devil was so captivated by his playing 254 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.120 that he carried him off to hell. 255 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.320 One of it as long as he stays there and 256 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:29.840 doesn't go about waking. 257 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:30.200 Up the neighbors. 258 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.759 But that's just what he has been doing for the 259 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.480 last month or so. 260 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.759 Oh nonsense, it's just annoysy chimney like this one. 261 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:37.799 Why is a. 262 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:40.440 Ghost who's kept quiet for over one hundred years suddenly 263 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.720 decided to return. 264 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:42.440 And annoy people? 265 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.399 That, my dear Watson, is what I'm anxious to find out? 266 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:51.399 Homes homes? Do you hear that? 267 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:52.960 By Jove? 268 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.799 Then it's more than just a superstations homes. 269 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.519 It's a piper, the devil's bagpiper. 270 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:00.440 He's playing in the house next door. 271 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.039 Splendor. 272 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:01.720 For what we'll do? 273 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.080 Want we to inform the authorities and have them put 274 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.480 the devil in jail? No, Watson and I have a 275 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.480 better fan. I suggest we go over and call on 276 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:11.559 the old gentleman himself. 277 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.159 In just a moment, we'll find out what Sherlock Holmes 278 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:32.080 discovers in the mysterious house next door. Man, if you're wise, 279 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.600 you'll start right away and take better care of the 280 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.639 hair you've got. Remember, handsome, healthy looking hair needs a 281 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.759 hygienic scalp, So why be content with just any hairdressing 282 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.960 when you can enjoy the extra advantages of Cremmel hair tonic. 283 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.799 This highly specialized hair tonic goes in for modern, natural 284 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:55.399 looking hair grooming. It keeps hair perfectly groomed all day long, 285 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.600 looking so neat and attractive, yet never gives hair that cheap, greasy, 286 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.120 pattern letther look. But Kremmel does lots more than keep 287 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.559 hair looking handsome. Kremmel is simply great to lubricate a 288 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.720 dry scalp, and at the same time it removes dandra 289 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.879 flakes and leaves the scalp feeling so alive and tingling. 290 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:15.840 And if your hair breaks off and falls when you 291 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:19.840 comb it because it's so dry, use Cremmel, which actually 292 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.159 helps condition hair in that it leaves it feeling so 293 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.679 much softer and more pliable. And since Kremmel is never 294 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.679 sticky or gummy in because it's such a nice, clean product, 295 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.840 you can use it every day and your hair will 296 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.120 always look it's very bare. Buy a bottle of Kremmel 297 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:37.440 at any drug counter as for an application at your barbershop. 298 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.600 K R. E. M. L. 299 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:51.039 Kremmel hair turning. Now, doctor Watson, what about the ghostly Bagpiper? 300 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:56.519 Did homes, fossles, tobo homes and sissifically investigate the house 301 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:57.480 next door at once? 302 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.720 And I must admit that it was with some givings 303 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.000 I followed him into the street. 304 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.600 Come along, Watson. Oh, another little bit of local superstition. 305 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.639 I forgot to mention. They say that the corpses of 306 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.399 people who died here of the plague will sometimes come 307 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.120 to life and wonder about the house. Arms. 308 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:19.240 We shouldn't talk like this, this sleep cutting into my 309 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:20.080 face like a knife. 310 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.879 Here's the doorway. How to find out if the key 311 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:23.440 still works? 312 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.799 Yes, this looks more like a crowbar than a key. 313 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.879 I only hope the lock isn't too rusty. 314 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.639 Hmm, well, budge, thank Heaven, let's go back. 315 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.480 Oh give me that? Why can have a few drops 316 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:35.679 of oil? Are you? 317 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:37.960 I confound this lock? 318 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.320 No good trying to break the door in. It's as 319 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.519 solid as you brought her good. 320 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:43.399 You are more solid than the house itself. 321 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.600 Judging by that long crack over the archway. 322 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.399 Hmm, yes, that is a crack. The building is settling, Watson, 323 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.440 that crack. Hello, I turned the key locks, decided to 324 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.759 work the door sticks now hinges rusty. Come on, Watson, 325 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:01.440 get your back into it. 326 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:04.720 He's moving homes. 327 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:06.920 Yes, so is that cracks. Hurry, help me close the 328 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.200 door before the archway falls on us. 329 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:16.960 And it quiet. I didn't hear the wind smells like 330 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:17.359 a too. 331 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.599 Yes, but there's something else, something unhealthy, like a disease. 332 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:24.680 I smelled once in the tropics. You don't think it's 333 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.680 true that the plague is still nonsense? You yourself said 334 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.519 it wasn't possible. Better light that dark lantern were brought along. 335 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:37.279 Indeed, I hate pumping about the dark. I can't say 336 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:38.880 it's much more cheerful little light. 337 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.319 It was those great dirty cobwebs, that old tapestry hanging 338 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:44.039 in shreds. 339 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:46.640 Yes, nothing has been moved since the plague first touched 340 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.599 the house. I look down that room, that old old 341 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.400 table set for a meal, one of the goblets overturned. 342 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.880 Loose, move the crapes up and down my spine. 343 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.359 Nothing else of interest here. Let's get onto the next room. 344 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.960 How hollow? Oh h a footstope sound? 345 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.000 Yes, this must have been the living one of the house. 346 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.160 Ashes of a bygone fire still on the hearth homes. 347 00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:15.480 Homes. Look, there's some people seated in those chairs over there. Nonsense, 348 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.039 give me the lantern. Why jove, I think you're right. 349 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.319 Let's smells strongly in here. We'll soon find out. Watson 350 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.960 called the lantern Homes. 351 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.559 It's a body, a naked body. 352 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.000 A corpse, Watson, a cadaver of homes. 353 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.240 Don't touch it, for the love of Heaven, don't touch it. 354 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:34.880 Why Watson. 355 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.720 Don't you see the swallen eyes, the froth of the mouth, 356 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.400 the fresh turned black. I've never seen it before, but 357 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.559 those are the symptoms homes. That's the black plague. But 358 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:45.799 that's not possible. That's crazy. 359 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:46.599 Here. 360 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.359 Let me look at the other chairs. Yes, you're an 361 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.079 old man and you're a woman. 362 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.960 All victims of the Black death Homes. These are the 363 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.680 bodies of people who died in this house centuries ago 364 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:03.440 the plague. But they're not decayed. Not possible. We must 365 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:04.079 be going mad. 366 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.720 Tell me quick, Watson. Did women do their hair with 367 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.079 fringes at the time of the last play? 368 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.880 Cringes? Now I know that we're crazy, White Watson. 369 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.480 Did you hear that it's the devil coming with his piper. 370 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.240 He's going to make him dark. The old woman was right. 371 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.319 The house does quite break up the sound of those pipes. 372 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.079 He's coming home. 373 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:21.440 He's coming. 374 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.920 Good evening, gentlemen, Dear me, if it isn't our friend, 375 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.759 Professor Moriarty, I had no idea you were a musician. 376 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.400 You admire my piping. Eh, Yes, I wondered how long 377 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:40.640 it would take you to find me. Allow me to 378 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.160 congratulate you, mister Holmes. 379 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.680 You're very prompt, most. 380 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.799 Flattering, professor, But I assure you it was simplicity itself. 381 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:50.799 You didn't think I'd overlook anything as obvious as a 382 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:54.279 sealed house and the haunted bagpiper who so conveniently came 383 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:56.680 back to life in the past month. Yes, I might 384 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.519 have known my little roost to get rid of my 385 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:03.960 superstitious neighbors wouldn't keep shellock homes away. Perhaps it's just 386 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.119 as well you've been getting in my way quite a 387 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.000 bit lately, mister Holmes. I shall have to continue my 388 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.920 experiments begun on these three poor devils, on yourself and 389 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.319 doctor Watson. 390 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.960 In the plague you're going to give us the black plague. 391 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.640 I really must try my serum on two healthy specimens 392 00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:27.400 before I pronounced it perfect. After all, these three an 393 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.519 old beggar, a thief, dang of starvation, and a woman 394 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:31.880 of ill repute. 395 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.559 They could hardly be expected to resist the disease. 396 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.200 That's very interesting. I was just assuring doctor Watson that 397 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.400 these corpses were quite recent, because I was sure that 398 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.559 women didn't wear fringes during the last specimens, and doctor 399 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.680 Watson was afraid they might be victims of the original plague. 400 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.720 But in a sense he's ride. The victims are recent, 401 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.880
