00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Watson, You've titled this evening's adventure murder. I'm a wager,

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>but but who would commit such a murder?

3
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 2>It does seem an extraordinary motivation, doesn't mister hats Well.

4
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 2>It was a summer evening in the late eighteen nineties.

5
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>We were at our flat two twenty one B Baker Street.

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 2>We had a call.

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>You won't represent the bank at Monte Carlo, Monsieur Guillere,

8
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I do miss your Holmes, the.

9
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Most remarkable spot Monte Carlo. I'm terribly curious to know

10
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 2>what prompts this visit with the Guillere.

11
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I am extending an invitation to you, doctor Watson, and

12
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to Monsieur Holmes, to visit Monte Carlo, at our expense,

13
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>of course, and for whatever fee you wish to name.

14
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Surely not to admire the scenic duties, nor Monsieur Holmes, Sir,

15
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>we anticipate hobble. What sort of trouble do you expect?

16
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you acquainted with the names of Roger Douglas and

17
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Ralph Antrioch.

18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Roger Douglas renowned gambler, isn't it?

19
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Watson? As for George and Nicktriars, he's an incredible c. Cannic,

20
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a Greek, Douglas's counterpart in the Near East, given to

21
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 1>wages of gigantic sums. Oh, not always upon cards or

22
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>dice or schmandn affair, rather on curious events and feats

23
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>of daring er. We maintain a secret service, for they

24
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>backed Monsieur Holmes, and they told us that for the

25
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>very first time, these two treacherous gentlemen, Douglas and Annetrios,

26
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>will meet and at Monte Carlo, each of course with

27
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>his entourage of double dealers and professional killer exactly hmm,

28
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>I should enjoy the spectacle. Both gentlemen are experts in

29
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 1>every conceivable form of gambling. We wonder, therefore, when the

30
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>two meet, what game they will play? Might they make

31
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>a wager of some sort that would endanger the interest

32
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of the bank. Might they join forces against us? We

33
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>feel that the meeting of these two may lead to

34
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>a disaster. We implore you to join us. Mussy Holmes

35
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>h hard and necessary to imploy me, sir, since this

36
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>is a meeting of supremely sharp minds, it'll be hard

37
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 1>to keep me away. Let us prepare our luggy for

38
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 1>a trip to Monte Carlo.

39
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 3>Watson mister Douglas.

40
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 4>Yes, mister Dnhel, I am delighted to meet you. The

41
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 4>moment I heard you were coming here from Monte Carlo,

42
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 4>I was most anxious to see you.

43
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 5>Thank you. You know miss Deborah Stevens.

44
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 6>I believe I know George very well.

45
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 7>We're all friends.

46
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 4>We meet you Deborah. Deborah lived in Athens and Constantinople

47
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 4>for some time. She and I were very close. I

48
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 4>first met her when she was dancing professionally.

49
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 5>We'll all miss her soon she's to be married. I

50
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 5>thought you wouldn't mind my bringing Deborah to this meeting.

51
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 5>We required a witness for whatever wager we shall make,

52
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 5>or whatever game you choose to play.

53
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I am so pleased you did bring her, mister

54
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 4>Dougat as we close the door and begin, most considerate

55
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 4>of the management to provide this private room for our game.

56
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 5>As you may see, mister Annatrios, the management has provided

57
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 5>us with equipment to play whatever we choose.

58
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>H your naive day charming mister Douglas.

59
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Why do you say that it would.

60
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 4>Be extremely dullful either of us to indulge in a

61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 4>contest of an ordinary sort, who would merely exhaust ourselves

62
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 4>only to end with a negligible gain of a few

63
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 4>thousand pounds by one or the other to them.

64
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 6>What on earth did you expect to play, George.

65
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I do not know, Deborah.

66
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps together mister Douglas and I may conceive of a

67
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 4>game or wager of truly fabulous states of infinite excitement.

68
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 5>I have a suggestion that might intrigue you. Yes, did

69
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 5>you know that at this moment mister Sherlock Holmes is

70
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 5>on his way here to Monte Carlo. Certainly, mister Holmes

71
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 5>has a magnificent reputation as a criminologist.

72
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, Roger, what of it?

73
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 5>Mister Holmes's mission is undoubtedly to prevent either of us

74
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 5>from committing a crime. Mister Annatrios, I will wager whatever

75
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 5>some you wish on the fact that you cannot smit

76
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.560
<v Speaker 5>a crime of whatever nature you specify and elude mister Holmes,

77
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 5>in short, that you cannot commit a crime while he

78
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 5>is in the city and go scot free.

79
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 4>Wonderful suggestion, I accept, Witness Devereau.

80
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 6>Yes, Roger, to make.

81
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 4>The wage even more alluring, I shall allow you to

82
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 4>name the sum and the crime fifty thousand pounds, one

83
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 4>hundred thousand agreed, and the crime.

84
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 5>No pedestrian crime will do. It must be a major crime,

85
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 5>arson on a gigantic scale, embezzlement for an enormous sum,

86
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 5>or better yet, murder.

87
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 4>Whatever you like, control a great and efficient organization.

88
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I have years of experience in these matters.

89
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 4>My performance should be inspired sufficiently to baffle mister Sylark Holmes.

90
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and atios.

91
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 6>Murder Roger, you're going to par I thought you too

92
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 6>would play a very exciting game of cards or way

93
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 6>to battle together against the.

94
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Bank for your one hundred thousand pounds.

95
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>You have a potential victim.

96
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I believe I do. Have you heard of Leslie.

97
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 4>Dixon Dixon Dixon, Yes, a magician. I've seen him at cabaret.

98
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 5>He is no longer a magician. I discovered he had

99
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 5>a more valuable talent for manufacturing.

100
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Manufacturing.

101
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 5>Yes, he had designs for wheels, birdcages, marked packs of

102
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 5>cards where the results would always be in my favor.

103
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 5>I placed him in business.

104
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 6>But why do you want Leslie killed Roger?

105
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 5>He wants considerably more money. He's threatened to go to

106
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 5>the newspapers. Of course, I can't thought that, nor could

107
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 5>you Antrios. It would keep the public away from our houses.

108
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 4>This Leslie Dixon is a very tempting victim.

109
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 5>He's here now in Monte Carlo.

110
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 4>Ah Leslie Dixon will be dead by midnight of one

111
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 4>week from tonight, when Sir r Coombs fails to identify

112
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 4>the murderer and returns to London defeated. I shall meet

113
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 4>you on the evening of his departure in the same

114
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 4>room where you will pay one hundred thousand palms to

115
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 4>me cash of course, agreed, agreed.

116
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 7>Read before your evening swim mister Dixon.

117
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.199

119
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 7>It's lovely to night here on the beach, isn't it, Yes,

120
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 7>mister Dixon. I should return within the customering half hours.

121
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Fine, Reynolds, not tip?

122
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 7>How is it their?

123
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>What is wonderful?

124
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I see you later.

125
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.279

128
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 1>help hal Well there is the body of Monsie Dixon.

129
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Mister Holmes washed ashore here on the beach. Just as

130
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:26.759
<v Speaker 1>the police found it.

131
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Bewildering air Holmes. They say Dixon was in perfect physical condition,

132
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>superb swimmer. The sea was very calm, no signs of

133
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>violence or do you make up?

134
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 1>You've interviewed the butler Monsieur yea. The police did so. Yes,

135
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 1>he failed to hear anything. If Dixon called for help

136
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 1>as he found the butler was out of your shut you.

137
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Might simply have developed a sudden cramp.

138
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 1>Hey home rather doubt for Watson, a thoroughly experienced swimmer

139
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>would not enter the water immediately after having eaten anything

140
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>that might cause a cramp, Especially Monsieur Dixon. He was

141
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 1>most careful about food. For may I see now, Watson,

142
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd say this is directly concerned with a visit to

143
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Monte Carlo of Messrs Douglas and a natriance. But appear

144
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that the two geniuses a crime have concocted a special

145
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>roof on it. I'd say, trick behind us trees when

146
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>you see a shadow of the gun, get out. It's

147
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>amazing what people can do working together. For instance, more

148
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>than twelve hundred independent merchants pull their tremendous buying power

149
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and thus make possible clipper Craft America's greatest clothing values.

150
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 1>These friendly hometown businessmen know that to get and keep

151
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 1>your friendship, they have to give you more for your money.

152
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 1>And when you get a new spring clipper Craft worsted

153
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:53.919
<v Speaker 1>suit for only forty five dollars, an all wool cobratcloth

<v Speaker 1>Watson, Doctor Watson, Shall we return to the murder committed

173
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>on a waiting.

174
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Harris, and to Monte Carlo, where on the beach,

175
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.000
<v Speaker 2>in the moonlight we stood beside the dead body of

176
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Leslie Dixon. As Holmes went over to examine the body,

177
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 2>shots rang out from behind the tree. We fell flat

178
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>upon our faces in the sand. When the firing ceased,

179
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 2>I ran toward the trees from where the bullets had come.

180
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>And as I returned, see anyone, Watson.

181
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 2>They've escaped, just vanished with the doctor, said Douglas.

182
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.159
<v Speaker 1>After humors your home. They are afraid you will sorrow

183
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 1>the murder. Yes, their pears are well grounded. I suggest

184
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the body be removed. I shall be interested in the

185
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>results of an AUTOPSI yes, but it is obvious that

186
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Dix that I died of dog crowning. Nevertheless, I do

187
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 1>an autopsy. I have good reason I should throw in slightly. Police.

188
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>They are most cooperative with requests made by debate. Good

189
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and as for me, I shall discuss this case with

190
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>someone well qualified in these matters, mister and Nitrios. But

191
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 1>he has just attempted to kill you. Now you would

192
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>walk into his hands. Physical defeat has never frightened me, sir.

193
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.639
<v Speaker 1>It's the danger of mental defeat that leoed me to

194
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever Nathan is planned coming.

195
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 9>Watson, Oh, dazzling crowded homes, princes, millionaires, cabinet officials, diplomat

196
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 9>see the Indian Raja in the ruby trim headdresser.

197
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Irrelevant Watson business with mister an.

198
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 2>The croupiers said, table free. Oh, yes, wouldn't that be he?

199
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Mister ra neatriance.

200
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 4>Good evening, mister Holmes.

201
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm complimented that my face is international Aftermidia.

202
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 4>I've been expecting you, Sarah stepped into that private room.

203
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't I Why were you home?

204
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>You're upset by something, doctor.

205
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Watson lyrics, I certainly answer if I were you homes.

206
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 4>I accept your invitation, mister Anatrian before we stepped into

207
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 4>the room.

208
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Would you like to hold my gun?

209
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 4>Doctor Watton, Well, perhaps it would put you at ease.

210
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Huh, By jove, I will take.

211
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:17.799
<v Speaker 4>Excellent after you, mister Holmes, thank you. I shall save

212
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 4>a great deal of time for you. Mister Holmes, I

213
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 4>did not kill Leslie Dixon, didn't you. I was in

214
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.120
<v Speaker 4>the gambling rooms at the time of his death. For

215
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.639
<v Speaker 4>two hours. Previous to that, I enjoyed dinner at the

216
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 4>Hotel Maurice. I can produce a dozen witnesses to that effect.

217
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'd no doubt you have a flawless explanation.

218
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 4>Previous to dinner, I attended a lawn party. Again, as

219
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 4>many unimpeachable witnesses as you like.

220
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 1>See. I'm curious, mister Natrians, about the game you played

221
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 1>or the wager you made with Roger Douglas last night.

222
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Could it in any way have been connected with the

223
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 1>death of Leslie Dixon.

224
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Very directly, I wagered, mister Douglas that I could murder

225
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Leslie Dixon in such a way that you, yes you Holmes,

226
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 4>would never succeed in proving I had committed the homicide.

227
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 4>That this song one hundred thousand pounds.

228
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Astumption of all the affrontery, throwing the gauntlet in your face, Homes, Now.

229
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It was very amusing.

230
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's the motive, Homes, there's.

231
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 4>A man, I say, no reason for concealing the wager. Besides,

232
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 4>it would be unjust of me to collect. I did

233
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.399
<v Speaker 4>not kill Dixon. I intended to, yes, but I was late.

234
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.440
<v Speaker 4>I hadn't even started my plans when I had had

235
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 4>the news of his death, hadn't you? Perhaps it's a

236
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 4>move by Roger Douglas. He wanted Dixon to die. He

237
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 4>suggested the wager. He might eliminate me. That way, as

238
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker 4>a competitor his own men execute the crime in their

239
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 4>own manner, being sure it's done properly.

240
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The guilt would seem to be mine.

241
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh, mister Douglas, you know, mister Holmes, doctor John, what

242
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 4>hell you do?

243
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 1>We were discussing the late mister Dixon.

244
00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 5>Really I was at the theater when he died.

245
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Can you prove that?

246
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 5>Of course, doctor Watson, I can prove my whereabouts throughout

247
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:04.480
<v Speaker 5>the entire evening.

248
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 4>I had told mister Holmes about our waiter you did,

249
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:08.879
<v Speaker 4>Why shouldn't I?

250
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 5>Aren't you writing an invitation to the gallows for yourself?

251
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Not at all?

252
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.799
<v Speaker 4>Mister Holmes must produce concrete evidence before I lose. Evidently

253
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 4>he's finding it impossible.

254
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh, quite the contrary.

255
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 5>We're leaving, Watson, may I offer my carriage, mister Holms,

256
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 5>thank you.

257
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't believe it's much of a walk to

258
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the Morgue, the morgue home. Yes, Watson, if you'll excuse us, gentlemen,

259
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.519
<v Speaker 1>I must visit the Morgue. The dead, you see, are

260
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>often more articulate than the living.

261
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's the body on that slab hose. The police

262
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.279
<v Speaker 2>surgeons that you could examine whatever you wished.

263
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I see they've already performed the autopsia.

264
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Dixon drowned hose? What the dickens are you proving about?

265
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>For his lungs there showed clearly that.

266
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 1>He was drowned. Yes, why did he drown? Ha?

267
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 8>Ha?

268
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 1>As I thought what you see? I see that I

269
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>must pay a visit to the late mister Dixon's cottage.

270
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.919
<v Speaker 2>Ull Holmes, if you insist upon being secure.

271
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Watson returned to the casino. Keep an eye on a

272
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.960
<v Speaker 1>natrios in his associates. I shall meet you at the

273
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>casino very shortly with a thorough explanation of the murder

274
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and the identity of the killer. Thank you driver, That

275
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.759
<v Speaker 1>was indeed fast enough, Holmes.

276
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I've been waiting for you here on the steps of

277
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the casino for two hours. Did you go to Dixon's

278
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>courage Speak to the butler.

279
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 5>What have you found?

280
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Where are a natrios and Douglas and their crew.

281
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're having cigars and brandy on the terrace this way.

282
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:45.759
<v Speaker 2>It's a terrace on the cliff overlooking the sea.

283
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Harry Watson, we must find them. I have the evidence.

284
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, where is it?

285
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Here in my hand?

286
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:52.879
<v Speaker 2>In your hand? What is it?

287
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>This small bottle of salad oil.

288
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.360
<v Speaker 2>There they are homes with that girl, the table for

289
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>the railing.

290
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I see.

291
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 4>I regret disturbing you, gentlemen, I mean, sir Holmes, and

292
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 4>you've met mister Douglas.

293
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>This is there, Boras Stephens.

294
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 4>I presume, mister Holmes, you have some sort of evidence

295
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 4>you believe will prove by killt Leslie Dixon.

296
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>And no, mister, your remarkable instincts are wrong for once.

297
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 5>Then, I'm sure, mister Holmes, you are prepared to accuse

298
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 5>me believing I carried out the crime, having engineered it

299
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.039
<v Speaker 5>so that the natrios would suffer upon it.

300
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>No, mister Douglas, but Holmes, one of them, Neither of them,

301
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 1>My dear Watson. The butler nor the butler, mister Leslie,

302
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Dixon was killed by you, miss Stephens, with this innocent

303
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>looking small bottle of salad oil. Where did you find that?

304
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 1>You know what you are talking about?

305
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:56.279
<v Speaker 4>Homes.

306
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>It was obvious someone had contrived for Dixon to drown,

307
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but how there was no external evidence of violence. No,

308
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the sole possibility was that he'd been given something internally,

309
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>in all likelihood, something that would cause him to lose

310
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.839
<v Speaker 1>control of his arms and legs. It would cause unconsciousness,

311
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 1>so that when he set off on his nightly swim alone,

312
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:14.759
<v Speaker 1>he'd drowned.

313
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Stay where you are, miss Stevens. I've had my service

314
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Revolver along this trip. I knew i'd have use.

315
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:25.000
<v Speaker 1>For it, Guan Hols, so I insisted upon an autopsy.

316
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.799
<v Speaker 1>It revealed to me that Dixon's stomach lining was affected

317
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>by an extreme irritant. It confirmed my suspicion Dixon was

318
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.640
<v Speaker 1>subtly poisoned. I won't fight. You'd better, miss Stevens. It's

319
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.119
<v Speaker 1>your death warrant. I raised to Dixon's cottage. I spoke

320
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to the butler. I inquired about what mister Dixon had

321
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.319
<v Speaker 1>had for dinner prior to his swim. His dinner included

322
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>a salad prepared with a small bottle of oil. This bottle,

323
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>which had been presented that afternoon, is a gift to

324
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.640
<v Speaker 1>mister Dixon by Miss Deborah Stephens. This oil contains an

325
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.519
<v Speaker 1>overdose of camphor.

326
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Camphor whose what sort of diabolical los emper?

327
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>As you know, Watson, is soluble in oil but not

328
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>in water. The salad oil was a magnificent idea. The

329
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>minute amounts of camphor could easily be blended with other

330
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>flavors and odors, so its presence might not be detected.

331
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.279
<v Speaker 5>But of all the science shut up.

332
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.759
<v Speaker 1>All of the camphor, Miss Stephens. Is obtainable easily at

333
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a chemist's, isn't it. There's no suspicion of poison when

334
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you purchase camphor? Is there? And just a bit too

335
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>much of it will cause leg cramps and dizziness, will

336
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:27.359
<v Speaker 1>it not, Miss Stephens? And an autopsy might well be

337
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 1>a routine drowning report without evidence of poisoning? Am I correct?

338
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Miss Stephens?

339
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.599
<v Speaker 6>Yes, yes, you're quite right.

340
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.200
<v Speaker 5>At one time or another, she's been associated with all

341
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.440
<v Speaker 5>kinds of men. Lord knows what sort of mess she

342
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 5>was in with Dixon.

343
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:43.039
<v Speaker 1>How was to be married?

344
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 6>Next week. Dixon knew about where I've been and what

345
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 6>I've been. He was very much in love with me

346
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.079
<v Speaker 6>ever since we met, when I was dancing in cabarets

347
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 6>and he did his magic act.

348
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I love them.

349
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 6>Every time I had a chance to marry with sweet

350
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 6>my fiance and break it up, he was going.

351
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:58.000
<v Speaker 9>To do it again.

352
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:00.480
<v Speaker 1>So you couldn't wait, could you, Miss Stevens couldn't wait

353
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 1>for mister and Natrios to eliminate Dixon. Besides, it was

354
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 1>an ideal circumstance. If there are any suspicion of murder,

355
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>it would point to a natrios. The shots on the

356
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>beach fired by you, Miss Stevens, to create the impression

357
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>that an organized gang would respond. I won't go to prison.

358
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Dick won't have another victory over me. I won't allow

359
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>his death to send.

360
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 4>Me to even more misery.

361
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Not I won't go, let go, Let go my revolver.

362
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I will get her away from you. And she's tripped.

363
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.720
<v Speaker 5>She's falling back over the race.

364
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Fisherman down below said Miss Stevens' body struck the rocks

365
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:45.680
<v Speaker 2>floated out to see her.

366
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, a more satisfactory finish for her. Watson, I dare say,

367
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 1>avoiding the long, painful trial and inevitable execution. Now, mister Natrios,

368
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.359
<v Speaker 1>mister Douglas, excuse me?

369
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Returning to London, Yes, and to Baker Street.

370
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.799
<v Speaker 1>But before I go, gentlemen, I propose a toast.

371
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 5>A toast, sir.

372
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the George and Atrios Roger Douglas, two surprisingly pleasant scoundrels,

373
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:31.039
<v Speaker 1>to our next meeting, to your next fantastic wager. Hell,

374
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson, that was a very gripping adventure.

375
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Indeed it was, mister Harris.

376
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 1>And what adventure have you for us next week? Doctor?

377
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I have called it the Adventure of the Unfortunate Balance.

378
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 2>It concerns a medical diagnosis, a restless corpse, and a

379
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:47.839
<v Speaker 2>domestic
