WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:01.919 Now doctor watch and I want to hear about the 2 00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.799 strange case of the protecuted millionaires. 3 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.120 Well withsa Belle. 4 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.080 That adventure began in Baker Street on a gray November 5 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:09.919 day at the turn of the century. 6 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.599 Sherlock Holmes and I had just finished our lunch, I remember, 7 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.399 and were sitting each side of a blazing fire, just 8 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.440 like you and I are to night. The great man 9 00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.640 his feet Thrush sat before him, was lying back in 10 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.839 his chair, his long thinged hands locked behind his head, 11 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.320 and a curved pipe jutting out the corner of his 12 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.640 mouth was emitting great clouds. 13 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.479 Of gray blue smoke. After a few moments, I noticed that. 14 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:37.600 He was gazing at my boots. 15 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.640 It was very masked a sense, but white Turkish Watson 16 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:42.560 boots are English. 17 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.439 I got him at Latimer's in Oxford. 18 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.320 Street, not the boots, the bar. Why the relaxing and 19 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.079 expensive Turkish bath rather than the invigorating homemade article. 20 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.119 Because for the last few days I've been having some 21 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.679 masty twinges of rheumatism. By the way, I'm sure the 22 00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.439 connection between my boots and the Turkish bath is personally 23 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.600 off theos. 24 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.239 I'm completely mystifized. 25 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:05.400 And you're in the habit of doing up your boots 26 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.239 in a certain way. I observe that on this occasion 27 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.000 they're tied in a double bowl. You have therefore had 28 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.959 them off. Who has retied them? A boot maker or 29 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.840 the boy at the Turkish bath? But your boots are 30 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.480 nearly new? Then what means the bath? Absurdly simple, isn't it? 31 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.599 When you explain it? 32 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.359 Come in, yes, missus Hutton, it's a not for. 33 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.239 You, mister Holmes.

What makes you think that he's an American? 42 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.239 The use of the initial for the middle name is 43 00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:59.359 peculiar to that country. 44 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.640 A Jorge. It's not at two o'clock now, homes. 45 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.359 Yes, let's see what we can find out about the gentleman. 46 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.240 Where's that Encyclopedia of American biography? 47 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:09.400 Ah? 48 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.319 Here he is h H.

He made his professional debut as 55 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.120 a violinist thirty years ago. 56 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.000 A millionaire musician must be him now, Yes, sir, the 57 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.680 most impressive broom and fair outside. 58 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.479 Then, since my client is a violinist, I think i'll 59 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.960 welcome him appropriately.

I love the fiddle. 73 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.520 Curious I was under being praised. Listen to, mister Holmes. 74 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.919 I haven't come here to discuss your musical impressions. I've 75 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.840 come here to talk about my personal safety and my sanity. 76 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.759 Then pray talk about it, mister Harden. I'm being persecuted. 77 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.919 Somebody's trying to drive me crazy religious. What form does 78 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.479 this persecution take, mister Harden, it'll beget about a month 79 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.919 ago my horse ran away and row and throw me. 80 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.520 Maybe it was an accident, maybe not. I've heard of 81 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:10.520 burrs under saddles. And then last night something else happened. 82 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.639 Someone destroyed Methus Mathosla, an old retainer of yours, mister Harden, 83 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:18.720 or a pit No. 84 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.720 Mathooslo was the finest, largest, oldest taberne ever. 85 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:27.439 Cost the stop fish. You are, slock Homes. I'm sure 86 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.839 that the great new moral lies behind us. Please continue, 87 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:31.360 mister Harden. 88 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.639 Everything was going fine, mister Holmes, until these persecutions started. 89 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:37.480 Early this year. 90 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.279 I bought a fine old house in Cavendish Place. I'm engaged, 91 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.560 me married to Alish Edwards, the Honorable Alish Edwards. She's 92 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.160 Lord Brentwood's daughter. My life was perfect until I began 93 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.879 to get these notes. What sort of notes, mister Hardon? 94 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.160 As they kept turning up in odd places, my coat pockets, 95 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.879 under my pillows. At night, I found them on the 96 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.000 oppost in my carriage. 97 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:06.040 You brought these notes with you, of course, all in 98 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.519 the same handwriting, and all the messages seem to have 99 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.720 the same fee homes. 100 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.480 The first one says you thought he. 101 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.040 Had no one to avenge him, didn't you? And this 102 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.439 one says you murdered him. You will pay for it. 103 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.240 And this is curious. It will have blood, they say 104 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.000 blood will have blood. That quotation is from Macbeth. 105 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.839 Oh that that means the note was written by an Englishman. 106 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.600 Not necessarily Watson. It's possible that they've heard of Shakespeare 107 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.759 in America, you know, mister Harton, all these messages threaten 108 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.759 your death. Can you think of anyone who might wish 109 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.000 to kill you? No? 110 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.800 I can't. I've never heard anyone much less killed a person. 111 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.160 The notes don't make any sense if. 112 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.600 You recognize the handwriting. 113 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.519 I've never seen it before in my life. You maketioned 114 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.959 that your prize Tartan was mutilated. What members of your 115 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.279 household might have had the opportunity of performing that act 116 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.040 of vandalism. 117 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.720 Three people my secretary, Margaret Bits, Stephen, my brother, my fiance. 118 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.199 They were all at the house last night. There seems 119 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.079 to be a care pattern of this case, mister Harden, 120 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.600 I suggest that you will return to your home in 121 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.240 obtain for me samples of the handwriting of the three 122 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.680 people you've mentioned. When i've examined those, I shall be 123 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.240 in a better position to advise you in this matter. 124 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.600 Holmes, you've spent three hours with the magnifying arsenal samples 125 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:42.879 of handwriting when mister. 126 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.879 Harden brought back, if you find the clue nothing positive, Watson, 127 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.800 it's quite curious. The handwriting of the threatening note seems 128 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.480 to be that of a male with an American education. 129 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.560 Oh why do you say that? 130 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.879 Observe this note, you guys, and avenge you never sleep 131 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:01.560 with honor. 132 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.199 You will notice that honor is spelt without a yule. 133 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.279 That's the American way, and that means that his fiance 134 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.040 didn't write them. She might have deliberately spelt it that 135 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.839 way to remove suspicion from herself. No, I'm afraid these 136 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.240 samples prove nothing. 137 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.399 And we're no nearer finding out who is responsible. 138 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:22.680 Well, at least we've ruled out an obvious possibilities. Come in, Yes, 139 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:23.759 missus Hudson. 140 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.240 It's a telegrap list at homes. 141 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:30.319 Thank you. Yes, better get your coat and hat wotsom 142 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.000 from mister Harden. Yes, he says, a worse blow has fallen. 143 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:36.600 Come at once. 144 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.600 On Marcus Baps, mister Harden's secretary. 145 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.920 What happened, Miss Babs. We left as soon as we're 146 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:53.560 received as wire. 147 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.319 I don't know what happened, mister Holmes, but I'm terribly worried. 148 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.639 He rushed out here and dictated that telegram and then 149 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.160 went back and locked himself in the study. He says 150 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.040 he'll see no one but too Hello Margaret, Oh, Stephen, 151 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:07.720 he's startling. 152 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.680 It's the matter. Do you think I was listening at 153 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.040 the keyhole? Introduced me to our visitors watching. 154 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.120 This is Stephen, mister Harden's brother, mister Sherlock Holmes, and 155 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:17.839 doctor Watson. 156 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.439 Sherlock Holmes and his Freenda I've heard about you. Don't 157 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.879 tell me brother John is falling foul of the law 158 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.079 and that he needs its protection. 159 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.800 Ifea, don't be too sure. 160 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.519 I'm thinking of taking him to court myself on a 161 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.159 charge of woman stealing. 162 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.120 Your brother or kidnapped us Great Scott. 163 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.360 No, no, doctor Watson, it's perfectly legal. It's just that 164 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.759 I saw Alsia Edwards first. But then, of course I 165 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.600 don't control the hardened millions. 166 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.399 Let's go to the study, shall we, mister Holmes, excellent dear. 167 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.759 Perhaps we'll see you later. So perhaps, and don't take 168 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:51.879 John too seriously. 169 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:57.240 He's hateful, always making fun of John, his brother, and 170 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.120 yet Stephen's never done a day's work in his life. 171 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.679 This is the door to the study, and mister Holmes 172 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:06.799 and doctor Watson are here. 173 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:12.039 Come in. 174 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.960 Thank you mother, How see you gentlemen later? 175 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.799 What form did the new attack takes? Mister harton? 176 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:19.759 This time? 177 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:20.279 It's set. 178 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:25.639 My safe was rifled last night, an extremely valuable document. 179 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.440 It was the key to my agreement with the British 180 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.639 Tobacco Trust. The loss of the paper represent a million 181 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.000 dollars to me. That isn't what upsets me. Most money 182 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.440 I can afford to lose, but my sanity is more valuable. 183 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.200 In the safe I found another. 184 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:45.919 Note homes May I see peers here? Mmm? The coffin 185 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:49.639 is made. The funeral parlor is ready, the time is ripe. 186 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.799 The proking raven below for a them writing message, and 187 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.600 once again observed the odd combination of Shakespeare and American idiom. 188 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.679 Funeral parlor is what we refer to as an undertaker's, 189 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.840 and the croaking raven comes from Hamlet Holmes. 190 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.559 I'm not awake, man, but I'm frightened. You've got to 191 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.039 protect me. I shall do my best. 192 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.519 Mister Harden, who was here last night, my secretary of 193 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.759 my rebate, my fiancee. She went back to London this morning. 194 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.480 I make your brother Stephen just now. I noticed that 195 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.559 he was carrying a release. Was he leaving the house 196 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.799 or returning to it? Returning? He went out of town 197 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.320 last night, and that ruled him out, not until we 198 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:37.360 investigated that by Watson. Mister Harden, I'm a constant and 199 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.600 thorough reader of the times. The engagement of a Pierre's 200 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.480 daughter to a prominent American would be striking news, and 201 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.159 yet I've read nothing about it. 202 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.200 We're announcing it formerly to morrow.

He expected him 217 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.840 to be wearing feathers and calling and helping knife. 218 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.639 That's very funny. 219 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.720 I don't find it.

Personally, I may say 228 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.039 that I'm always glad to meet an American. I'm one 229 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.759 of those who believes that the folly of a monas 230 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.200 can be blundering of a minister, and found one years 231 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.559 could not now stand between two men in the homes. 232 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.039 I find you comfort, insult. 233 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.960 Goodbye, Oh my soul, what an unpleasant half.

At this moment he joined at the 240 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:52.960 door and they're beating together. 241 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:54.399 God, you think the seed? 242 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.000 Hello, what's happening up there. 243 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:05.720 In the violinist?

If the anonymous correspondence motive is to 252 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.120 undermine Harden's wagons, he may be succeeded. 253 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.879 But who has a motive might be the brother Stephen. 254 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.720 He's off jealous of the girl and he probably next 255 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.759 in nine five minutes. But I checked his. 256 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.120 Annibi the last night he was out of town. 257 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:52.639 What's the devil's on now? O?

It's excellent 278 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.919 to lubricate a dry scalp. And if your hair is 279 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.279 so dry that it breaks and falls when you call it, 280 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.639 Cremel actually helps condition the hair in that it makes 281 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.679 it feel softer, more pliable.

So the 288 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.840 Honorable Alicia Edwards had been strangled at her engagement party. 289 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:44.960 What happened next? 290 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.240 I tried first, said mister bellin founds. The girl was 291 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.759 not dead. 292 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.039 We rushed to the hospitals and a few hours later 293 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:51.919 we were. 294 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.879 Able to talk to her. But we found that you 295 00:15:55.039 --> 00:16:00.759 gives no clue. When we left the room, was waiting 296 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:01.919 person in the corridor. 297 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:03.720 How is she? 298 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:05.480 Is she going to be all right, But don't. 299 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.919 Why mister Harden. She'll be all right, but she's she 300 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.279 had a very narrow escape. 301 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:10.559 But why attack her? 302 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.120 Why not me? The pattern becomes increasingly claire. Mister Harden. 303 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.159 Your enemy has struck at your fishing, your business, now 304 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.000 at your chiance, so every blow is at your wealth 305 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.440 and position and my sanity. Mister Holmes, you've got to 306 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.759 find out who's behind all this. On the occasion of 307 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.919 the mutilation of the fish, three people have the opportunity. 308 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.759 Your brother Stephen is clear on the second attack, and 309 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.360 on this last one, I think we may reasonably assume 310 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:36.960 that your fance did not strangle her. 311 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.840 So's our wager, my medical reputation on that fact. 312 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.639 And that means that only one person who was present 313 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:43.960 on all three occasions was. 314 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.559 No, you can't mean your secretary, mister Bates. Where is 315 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.919 she in the waiting room? Splendid? Then doctor Watson and 316 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.240 I will take her back to Baker Street. I have 317 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.559 an idea that she can be of invaluable help to. 318 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:10.079 Us a little montem space. 319 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:11.880 No, thank you, doctor Watson. 320 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.400 Then please go on with your story. 321 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.279 As I was. 322 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.359 Saying, mister Holmes, I've known mister Harden. All my life 323 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.119 my father was the Hardened coachman, and as I grew up, 324 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.640 I thought John Vincent Harden was the most wonderful man. 325 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:25.920 In the world. 326 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.160 Well, I imagine that he was quite different then my death. 327 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.480 Very different. He was young and romantic, and he loved music. 328 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.480 He took violin lessons, and it turned out that he 329 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:37.200 was a prodigy. 330 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.839 I understand that he made his professional debut at the 331 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:40.599 age of thirteen. 332 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.519 Yes, mister Holmes, I was only a little girl then, 333 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.839 But he used to tell me that he wasn't John 334 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.960 Vincent Hardened, the heir to the tobacco, the lean. He 335 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.599 was Giovanni Vincenti, the great. 336 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:58.160 Violinist, Giovanni Vincenti odd pray continuous dates. 337 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:00.400 For five years. It seemed that he would be a 338 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:05.599 great musician. Then on his eighteenth birthday, his father gave 339 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.920 him a lecture on his family obligation, told him that 340 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.319 it was his duty to go into the business. 341 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.559 John broke his violin across. 342 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:18.480 His knee, mister Holmes, and he's never played said mistake. 343 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.799 I don't need to be a detective to reduce that 344 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:23.519 you love him. 345 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:28.079 Of course I do, or at least I loved you 346 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:35.000 as it instanty. Then maybe he's still there somehow somewhere, of. 347 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.039 Course, or he's been a legiot, a nun scol What 348 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.680 do you mean home?

It's in the 363 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.400 same handwriting as the other messages. 364 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.440 I might try to fool another detective, but doc you, 365 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.119 mister Sherlock Holmes, I admit I shut John Simpson Harden. 366 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.720 I'm sure you'll have no difficult to discovering high escape from. 367 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:44.279 A locked room.
