Thank you, sir Gilbert. 236 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.200 Roger was just telling me that quite a large summer 237 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.080 money was found on here shaman's body. 238 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.159 Mister Holms, yes, Missus Gilbert, several thousand francs. 239 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.240 Puzzling home. 240 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.480 So why should a man commit suicide with so much 241 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:30.240 money on him? 242 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.120 I think the answer is obvious. He didn't. 243 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:34.519 What on earth do you mean? 244 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.240 Well, the money was placed there after he had shot himself. 245 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.679 The banks were in his breast pocket, if you remember, 246 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.120 and that's the useful place to carry money though it 247 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.360 is the easiest pocket for someone to insert it without 248 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.559 disturbing the body. But why are should someone places money 249 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.240 on it after his suicide to prevent the casino from 250 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.440 getting a bad name. I've heard of it being done 251 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.879 on several similar occasions gives the impression that the unfortunate 252 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.759 victim had other motives than gambling losses to a country suicide. 253 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.480 Scott, you mean that one of the casino employers found 254 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.919 the body lying there and slipped the money in his 255 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.360 burst pocket before we arrived on the sea. 256 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.559 As you know, my dear, what's not a gambling man. 257 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.320 But I'll lay you one hundred to one. That is 258 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:15.080 what happened. 259 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.960 Well that's a new one. 260 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.279 Well, here are your drinks, gentlemen.

Roger? Now I've been losing 264 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.039 very heavily tonight, Roger. 265 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.639 I've told you if you need money, I'll be only 266 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.399 But I don't. 267 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.600 I've got a scheme for making some. I'm going to 268 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.000 gamble again tonight after dinner. 269 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:34.000 If I lose. 270 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.440 Here's what I'll do.

I wait for someone to come 273 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.759 along and stuff my pockets full of banknotes. 274 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.279 Not a bad idea, mister Gilbert. 275 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.159 I think it's a dying good one. What are you 276 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.279 saying mister Holmes, he it's a whimsical won at any rate. 277 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.200 Who knows you might even be successful?

Well, let's drink 280 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.559 to a gentleman. At least I may have been upon 281 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:23.399 an idea of making money very bad, My dear Watson, 282 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:24.960 you will have to work hard at your practice when 283 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.759 you get back to England.

I was 340 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.639 too shocked to go too close, but I am quite 341 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.919 sure that I recognized your husband, Missus Gilbert. Oh, doctor Watson, 342 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.080 she's ruined Roger's trick. 343 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.480 You have taken fright and bolted. 344 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.039 By the time we get blast, and maybe let's go 345 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:52.600 at once and find out, shall we, he hasn't gone. 346 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:53.919 He's still lying now. 347 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.480 It's the most convincing spectacle that reddink really does look 348 00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:58.039 like blood. 349 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:05.200 Yes, and blood sometimes looks like read ink. Mister Gibbert, Roger, 350 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.279 get up. The joke's spoiled, Roger. 351 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:10.519 Get up. 352 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:14.240 I'm afraid that's impossible, missus Gubbert, He's dead. 353 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.240 Doctor Watson's story will be continued in just a second, 354 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.080 which is all the time. I need to tell you 355 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.960 that the easiest way I know to transform a simple 356 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.720 meal into a feast is to serve that meal together 357 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.480 with Petrie California so Turn. Petri So Turn is a 358 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.240 delicate white wines the perfect companion for. 359 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:41.279 Chicken or turkey. 360 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:45.879 Turkey, Yes, turkey and Petri So Turned. 361 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.200 That's the heart any Thanksgiving dinner. 362 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.399 Look, why not make this Thanksgiving dinner the best one 363 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:52.080 you ever had. 364 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.720 Give it the air of a banquet.

The young American's joke turned out 371 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:13.240 to be another tragedy. 372 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.440 Yes, the poor fellow was lying there dead with a 373 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.000 bullet wound in the heart, the great spresh of blood 374 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.919 stating the whiteness of his shirt front. 375 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:22.120 What happened next? 376 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.879 The su Chevre, director of the casino, took the distort 377 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.360 widow away from the scene, while Holmes and I examined 378 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.240 the body closely. Within a few minutes we were joined 379 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.039 by Inspector Ganivet of the French police. 380 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:35.480 As we stood there in. 381 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.159 The moonlight, the sounds of music could be heard from 382 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:38.799 the casino. 383 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:40.039 It was hard to. 384 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.279 Believe that two men had died in that lovely garden 385 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:44.919 since the moon had risen. 386 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.960 Monsieur Holmes, you and doctor Watson have concluded your examination.
