Speaker 1: And now I'm sure our good friend and host, doctor Watson.
Speaker 2: Is waiting, so let's go and join.
Speaker 3: Him in at darting good evening here, down load it.
Speaker 1: Dancing, Barry Chepper to night tonight.
Speaker 4: Yes, that they've been in disgrace most of the days,
Speaker 4: or what.
Speaker 2: Have they been up to after these seals?
Speaker 4: Again? Oh, my boy? This time it was chickens.
Speaker 3: They got into my neighbor's coop and had a delightful time.
Speaker 3: Fortunately there were no casualties. But I'm afraid that my
Speaker 3: my good neighbor policy has suffered a slight diplomatic strain.
Speaker 4: But you've come here to.
Speaker 3: Listen to Sherlock Holmes's adventures, not those of my dogs.
Speaker 3: So drow up your usual chair and make yourself comfortable,
Speaker 3: and I'll get on with tonight's story.
Speaker 1: Last week, Gotty, you told us it was a case
Speaker 1: in which Sherlock Holmes found the solution without having meeting
Speaker 1: any of the suspect.
Speaker 4: That's quite correct. About as remarkable as an exhibition of long.
Speaker 3: Distance detection as I ever recall, but judge the story
Speaker 3: for your solf, my boy, in the autumn of nineteen
Speaker 3: hundred and three, and Sherlock Holmes was about to retire
Speaker 3: to his bee farm on the Sussex Downs. I must confess,
Speaker 3: mister Bartell, that my heart was heavy during those last
Speaker 3: few weeks we spent at Baker Street. I thought of
Speaker 3: the countless adventures if we'd share together. I remembered those
Speaker 3: many evenings of quiet comradeship and companionship, a.
Speaker 4: Far blazing away in the hearth.
Speaker 3: As homes lay back in the shadows, playing his beloved violin.
Speaker 3: And then, mister Bartell, has so often happened, there'd be
Speaker 3: a violent jungle on our doorbell, and some wretched soul
Speaker 3: in misery would be standing before us and pouring out
Speaker 3: his troubles. Suddenly the violin would be discarded, and Holmes,
Speaker 3: a dreamer, would become Holmes, the man of action. Come
Speaker 3: wat's in the games of foot, he'd say, And in
Speaker 3: a few moments later we'd be rattling off in a
Speaker 3: cab through the foggy gas at London Street.
Speaker 1: Yes, doctor, I can imagine it was pretty hard for
Speaker 1: you to leave Baker Street.
Speaker 4: It was, mister Boutell.
Speaker 3: However, as it transpired, there was one more adventure awaiting
Speaker 3: us before we left, a few days before the actual move.
Speaker 3: I persuaded Holmes to take an afternoon off from his
Speaker 3: packing and accompany me on a visit to the laboratory
Speaker 3: of an old friend of mine, a Professor Jean Boulain.
Speaker 3: He was an eminent French scientist engaged in very important
Speaker 3: work at the London University. But by the way, this
Speaker 3: was at a period, mister Bartel, when radium.
Speaker 4: Was something extremely new and extremely rare.
Speaker 3: The university had just acquired a minute but invaluable portion
Speaker 3: of the element, and Professor Bouhlin was in charge of
Speaker 3: a research connected with it. I can remember the picture
Speaker 3: so well as Holmes stood Albarte talking with keen interest,
Speaker 3: with a distinguished side.
Speaker 2: Amazing, quite amazing.
Speaker 5: I think that this tiny leaden vessel contains one of
Speaker 5: the most precious substances in the world.
Speaker 6: Yes, mister Holmes, they have a great deal to thank
Speaker 6: Madame Couri for this new element. May force us entirely
Speaker 6: to advise our concepts of all physical structure.
Speaker 3: Your search is a great responsibility.
Speaker 2: Bull it is Watson.
Speaker 6: I must profess that I wish the authorities here would
Speaker 6: give me a free hand. I see such infinite possibilities
Speaker 6: in the use, particularly the medical use of radium, but
Speaker 6: my conservative superior seemed to regard it only as a
Speaker 6: toy as scientific curiosity.
Speaker 5: Limit your experiments according as birth exactly.
Speaker 6: I'm given no opportunity to do anything that's in the
Speaker 6: least radical disheartening.
Speaker 3: How can re search ever get anywhere along those lines?
Speaker 6: It is a great misfortune, Holmes, that you've determined to
Speaker 6: attire to your bee farm this project. We could use
Speaker 6: such an analytical mind as yours, professor.
Speaker 4: How many assistants do you have working with your buller? Three?
Speaker 2: But none of them are very inspired.
Speaker 6: I'm afraid my best assistant is a mania in Barker.
Speaker 6: He's a little on the conservative side too, but he
Speaker 6: is extremely adroit. The other two a young man called
Speaker 6: and the girl Gladys Hughes. They mean well, but coast
Speaker 6: I fear is the only word to describe them.
Speaker 4: Where do you lie?
Speaker 6: I was just amused to observe that in describing my assistance,
Speaker 6: I chanced to be literal as well as figurative. It's
Speaker 6: odd that random symbolism can sometimes, But never mind that
Speaker 6: you would like to see those still the laboratory. I
Speaker 6: have some extraordinarily interesting photographic plates that they called the
Speaker 6: emanations of radium over here.
Speaker 2: I think you will find them most fascinating.
Speaker 5: Baker Street, particularly when our rooms are full of packing cases,
Speaker 5: seems rather grab after the scantific stimulations of Professor Bulan's laboratory.
Speaker 4: Jabe grab.
Speaker 3: Even if we hadn't been the same, I feel frightful
Speaker 3: the press.
Speaker 4: I just don't know what I'm going to do with our.
Speaker 2: The young man Watson and a susceptible one. You'll marry again, No,
Speaker 2: I won't.
Speaker 5: You will old Chap, and you'll end up by being
Speaker 5: glad that your old roommate, your difficult, rather unsociable old
Speaker 5: room mate, is living in retirement on the Sussex down rubbish.
Speaker 3: I shan't feel a living of the kind in any case.
Speaker 3: I don't think you'll be able to stay in retirement
Speaker 3: for long. Your mind as much to a left to
Speaker 3: be satisfied by being a sort of midwife to a
Speaker 3: bunch of beastly beeble.
Speaker 2: Oh, dear Watson, I feel this will never eat honey again.
Speaker 4: Yes, you can laugh.
Speaker 3: Homes, but I could see how excited you were when
Speaker 3: Bulla suggested that you might help him with his radium experiments.
Speaker 2: Aftering suggestion, I must have pick my dear fellow just
Speaker 2: to say, oh, now hoo, the devil's that.
Speaker 3: From the urgency of the tag on the bell pull,
Speaker 3: I'd say that.
Speaker 2: It was a client and don't head him off. Forty
Speaker 2: want chap.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'll do my best.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll watson explain that I'm no longer in practice.
Speaker 4: Two late homes. He's best pass Missus Hudson.
Speaker 3: Here he comes, rushing up the stairs.
Speaker 2: I can't found it.
Speaker 4: I beg your pardon, sir. No, I am not sure.
Speaker 2: Then you must be missed Holmes. Here's my name, sir,
Speaker 2: But may I ask what accounts for your rather wild
Speaker 2: wind entrance? My housekeeper, Missus Hudson, I haven't any time
Speaker 2: to consider etiquette. My sister, Gladys Hughes has vanished, vanished
Speaker 2: into thin air. You've got to find it for me,
Speaker 2: mister Holmes.
Speaker 5: I'll pay you any fee you name, but you've got
Speaker 5: to find mister Hughes. I'm extremely sorry that your sister
Speaker 5: has vanished, but I'm afraid that I can do nothing
Speaker 5: to help you.
Speaker 2: I'm retiring, I'm giving up my practice. If you won't
Speaker 2: help me, I'll go to someone who will.
Speaker 5: That's exactly what I mean, sir, I suggest that you
Speaker 5: go to the police, or if you insist on a
Speaker 5: private investigator, I can strongly recommend mister Martin Hewitt's. Yes,
Speaker 5: his address is thirty nine Punt Street, Knightsbridge. Good date
Speaker 5: you and good Dame's Hughes.
Speaker 2: And it was like.
Speaker 5: Nunstand his concerned that his manners need a great deal
Speaker 5: to be designed.
Speaker 3: Homes homes Gladness Hughes is missing, sister. That was the
Speaker 3: name of what a Professor Buller's assistance was.
Speaker 5: That true, follow, but it's probably only a coincidence. Both
Speaker 5: Christian and surnames are extremely common ones.
Speaker 4: Well, I I have a feeling that it may not
Speaker 4: be a coming.
Speaker 2: Come now, my dear fellow, you try and embroil me
Speaker 2: in a fresh adventure. I've retired and I'm leaving for
Speaker 2: Sussex in a few days.
Speaker 5: And if any more plans come runching at my Doorbill,
Speaker 5: I shall ignore them.
Speaker 7: But mister Holmes, you've got to help me. My son
Speaker 7: Jeffrey Barker has disappeared.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, missus Barker, but I'm afraid I'm homes.
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Barker was the name of Professor Buller's chief assistant.
Speaker 5: Watson, please believe me when I say that I am
Speaker 5: not being bageled into any further.
Speaker 2: And Missus Taylor, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
Speaker 4: But mister Holmes, it's my husband.
Speaker 2: He's disappeared.
Speaker 1: We've only been married three months from now.
Speaker 2: It's terrible.
Speaker 7: I've been so worried ever since he started to work
Speaker 7: on that strange new radium with Professor Jean Below Homes.
Speaker 3: You can't pretend it's coincidence in Alana Gann's hues, Jeffrey
Speaker 3: Barker and now Taylor, the three assistants.
Speaker 4: Of Professor Buller.
Speaker 5: I know it, Watson, Missus Taylor, the moving van will
Speaker 5: be hit brow to take my things to Sussex. I
Speaker 5: shall follow them immediately. I have retired, madam. Do you
Speaker 5: understand that retired?
Speaker 3: Yes, another telegram photo homes.
Speaker 2: For the fourth today. Why would Scotland Yard leave me alone.
Speaker 4: To put a strange business.
Speaker 3: Three people engaged in the search of this new element radium,
Speaker 3: We've all disappeared within forty hours.
Speaker 4: Scotland Yard needs your.
Speaker 5: Help at them earn their salaries. My dear Watsons and
Speaker 5: I've helped them for the last time. Well, let's see
Speaker 5: how they've catched their latest diffusion. Oh this isn't from
Speaker 5: Scotland yard, it's from.
Speaker 2: My brother Micraft.
Speaker 4: Micraft, what's you gotta say is.
Speaker 5: Now Professor Bullan has disappeared Great Scott and the radium
Speaker 5: with him.
Speaker 2: Surely the pattern is obvious. Shrlock.
Speaker 5: Radium must be found, could solve the problem for you,
Speaker 5: But I'm too lazy. Consider what a flashy case for
Speaker 5: you to retire? On regards Micraft, the old devil terms,
Speaker 5: this is shocking.
Speaker 4: My old friend Bulla has.
Speaker 5: Disappeared, Watson, and now my brother asks me to to gate. Hmm,
Speaker 5: the pressure becomes irresistible. Very well, I bow to Paeton
Speaker 5: postponed my retirement for a few hours. Good man, you
Speaker 5: know you'll you'll never really retire oously, as my crop says,
Speaker 5: there's an obvious pattern in this case.
Speaker 2: Our first step, of course, will be to interview all
Speaker 2: the doctors who freak patients without charge.
Speaker 3: Why, surely that's obvious all obviously here.
Speaker 4: I don't know why you always leave me in the dark.
Speaker 2: Well, what makes you laugh?
Speaker 3: He left in the dark. It's just like the old
Speaker 3: times in it home. Come on, old fellow, let's go.
Speaker 3: The game's a foot, doctor McDonald, This is mister Sherlock home.
Speaker 2: Mister Sherlock Holmes. I'm very glad to meet you, and
Speaker 2: are you doctor McDonald.
Speaker 3: I swear that I've never been as many doctors' offices
Speaker 3: I have today. That mister Holmes is in search of
Speaker 3: some information. Perhaps doctor you you can help him.
Speaker 2: I will do my best. What do you want to know,
Speaker 2: mister Hole?
Speaker 5: Whether you have any charity patients with skin eruptions or
Speaker 5: growths of any kind, and patients that have not kept
Speaker 5: their appointments recently.
Speaker 8: Perhaps now let me see wait? Why, yes, I do
Speaker 8: old missus Pendle. She has a very bad case of lupus.
Speaker 8: Keeps you for a treatment here yesterday, and I've seen nothing.
Speaker 2: Of her splendid. Can you give me her address or
Speaker 2: certain it's in my book here?
Speaker 4: I hope this isn't the false trial homes.
Speaker 2: You can explore it and see that chap here.
Speaker 8: We are Missus Pendley thirty six, ELM Gardens, Flapham.
Speaker 5: Missus Pendall thirty six, Young Gardens, Clapham. Thank you, rotor.
Speaker 5: I'm greatly obliged to you. Getting restless Watson.
Speaker 4: Yes, I am a little.
Speaker 3: We've been waiting outside missus Pendall's house over now.
Speaker 4: Do we not the door? No?
Speaker 5: No, no, my chap, we mustn't fight, man. I hope
Speaker 5: that she's going to lead us to our quarry. You
Speaker 5: see the doors opening. A woman's coming out. Yes, it
Speaker 5: is Missus Pendle, beyond doubt with that bandage around the
Speaker 5: upper part of her face.
Speaker 4: Hello, she's turning down the street. We're going to follow hers.
Speaker 2: But naturally, but let's give us a Let's give her
Speaker 2: a start to me. We don't want her to suppot us.
Speaker 3: Well while we're waiting, perhaps you clear? What are two
Speaker 3: points for me? I'm still very much in the dark.
Speaker 5: The pleasure chap puzzles you're well one of the things
Speaker 5: that I hunted. Well, we've given her enough of us start.
Speaker 5: Let's follow up very well, but we'll kill you.
Speaker 3: Asked me what I didn't understand?
Speaker 4: Two things puzzle me.
Speaker 3: What did Micoff mean by the pattern of the case?
Speaker 4: Why are we following a poor.
Speaker 3: Sticle lady through the London street?
Speaker 2: I'll ask answer the first question, and I think the
Speaker 2: answer to the second. Roboso the parent. The pattern of
Speaker 2: the case is clear.
Speaker 5: Professor buland his three assistants have vanished together with the radium,
Speaker 5: but their disappearance is not simultaneous. Had they been so,
Speaker 5: it would have been a transparrent.
Speaker 2: Case of theft.
Speaker 5: But with the disappearances gradual rather than simultaneous, the emphasis
Speaker 5: has been subtly shifted.
Speaker 4: Yees, I can see that, Holmes, But what do you
Speaker 4: suppose is the.
Speaker 3: Back of the whole business can't be a simple case
Speaker 3: of theft. Radium is enormously valuable, but it'd be hard
Speaker 3: stuff to sell again.
Speaker 2: Not to an unscrupulous criminal with a knowledge of medicine. Watson.
Speaker 5: My own theory, and I admit at the moment that
Speaker 5: it's purely a theory, is that Professor Bulan was worried
Speaker 5: because he was so hampered in his research. You remember
Speaker 5: that he stressed his great faith in the medical values
Speaker 5: of the new element radium.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes he did.
Speaker 5: It's more than possible that he places the rights of
Speaker 5: science about the rights of property, that he's determined that
Speaker 5: he and his group will carry on their invaluable research
Speaker 5: unhampered by the conservative restraints of the university.
Speaker 3: I see what you mean, Holmes, But how does missus
Speaker 3: pendle the poor woman that we're following into the picture,
Speaker 3: because one.
Speaker 5: Of the chief lines of radium research on the continent
Speaker 5: so far has been with her sort of trouble. Professor
Speaker 5: Bullan's obvious move, if my theory is correct, would be
Speaker 5: countact povertystricant patience, promise them relief, induce them to abandon
Speaker 5: their regular treatments and submit to him.
Speaker 4: By Joy's holmes, that seems.
Speaker 3: Perfectly logical, And yet I can't believe that Buller would missus.
Speaker 2: Ben Gorton has reached her destination. She's turned on the driveway.
Speaker 3: Yes, she's walking up to what looks like an asserted
Speaker 3: warrior chap.
Speaker 2: Don't get her out of our sight.
Speaker 4: She's opened the door without knocking. She's gone in.
Speaker 5: We'll wait here for a moment or two, then we'll
Speaker 5: follow her. I have a feeling that your old friend,
Speaker 5: Professor Buller is not far away way since you're.
Speaker 3: Probably right, but I hope we can do something to
Speaker 3: protect him from the consequences of.
Speaker 4: What he's done. It might easily mean the finish of
Speaker 4: her brilliant career.
Speaker 2: Everything in my power, but you know as well as
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 4: Look, Look, look, look she pals coming out.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's in tubble. Come on, missus Pendle, what's wrong.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you know my name or will
Speaker 2: you plea? But he ask me what's wrong?
Speaker 7: They tell me to come here to this address and
Speaker 7: I'll find a doctor to do deal my face that
Speaker 7: comes to here.
Speaker 4: And what did you find, madam?
Speaker 2: A corpse?
Speaker 4: That's what I find.
Speaker 7: A dead man lie there in a great pool of
Speaker 7: his own blood.
Speaker 1: You ll have the rest of doctor Watson's story in
Speaker 1: just a second. So I'm just going to remind you
Speaker 1: that there's one wine which everyone likes and which is
Speaker 1: good on any occasion. Petrie California is sherry. Do you
Speaker 1: want to swell wine to serve before dinner? The perfect
Speaker 1: answer is Petree Sherry. If you want a wine that's
Speaker 1: delicious after dinner or later in the evening when you're
Speaker 1: just talking things over with your friends again, you want
Speaker 1: Petree Sherry. And if you want a wonderful wine to
Speaker 1: serve at cocktail time, naturally you want Petre sherry. Sherry
Speaker 1: is a wine that's good at any time. And Petrie, well,
Speaker 1: Petri is the wine it's good.
Speaker 2: All the time. Well, doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: So, following the tracks of all Missus Pendle led you
Speaker 1: to a corpse.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, Sherlock Holmes and I went at once
Speaker 3: into the broken down warehouse to examine the scene of
Speaker 3: the tragedy. Slumped over the desk in a dark and
Speaker 3: chabby room, afflicting candle giving him a carb liking to
Speaker 3: the scene was the body of a man. I think
Speaker 3: I knew it's identity even before Holmes turned to me.
Speaker 2: He said, as a bull, all right, Watson.
Speaker 4: Murdered the case.
Speaker 2: Yes, but examine him for yourself, will you?
Speaker 4: Yes, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: This wound couldn't have been self inflicted. The right oracle
Speaker 3: of the heart has been pierced.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with your comid. Death took place, Uh
Speaker 2: not more.
Speaker 4: Than a couple of hours.
Speaker 2: Ago, I should say on how to reconstruct the killing.
Speaker 5: The murderer came up from behind Boula as he sat here,
Speaker 5: crypton armor around his throat. Yes, see the finger marks
Speaker 5: on the right hand side of the neck here, then
Speaker 5: stabbed him in the chest, then with do the weapon
Speaker 5: and disappeared, leaving no traces confounded. Dusty room is an
Speaker 5: ideal place for recording footprints, but have a doesn't Different
Speaker 5: prints here, including missus Pendall's hello, here's the prince. A
Speaker 5: smaller woman sho.
Speaker 3: Who must be out of Galet Hughes his assistant.
Speaker 5: Doubtedly, but that really proves nothing except that she was
Speaker 5: here with him, in the fact that we were convinced
Speaker 5: of anyway. The question is, come on, let's go outside
Speaker 5: and talk to missus Pendle again.
Speaker 4: Poor buller, what a shocking way to.
Speaker 2: Die, What a great loss to science.
Speaker 3: I suppose the murderer must have stolen the radium. We
Speaker 3: found no trace of it in there.
Speaker 5: Undoubtedly the possession of the radium as the motive for
Speaker 5: the murderer. Missus Pendall, the poor man is dead, ain't tis?
Speaker 4: I'm afraid so, Madam.
Speaker 2: I knew it. I never should have come here, I
Speaker 2: never should have left.
Speaker 4: Doctor McDonald.
Speaker 2: Missus Pendall, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 7: I can't be answering no question, sir. I don't know
Speaker 7: nothing about how the poor soul got hisself murdered. What
Speaker 7: would the poor woman like me know about? No?
Speaker 3: No, no, my good woman, my friend isn't suggesting it
Speaker 3: told you know anything.
Speaker 4: About the murder?
Speaker 2: Then what do you want to know, sir? Who told
Speaker 2: you to come to this address today?
Speaker 7: Missus Pendall, a young lady now a young lady.
Speaker 4: She was too.
Speaker 7: She met me coming out of doctor McDonald's yesterday and
Speaker 7: tell me that if I come here today, i'd find
Speaker 7: a doctor who could cure me.
Speaker 4: That was Simmus Hughes's homes. I believe that you're there.
Speaker 4: It was right.
Speaker 2: Come on, Missus Pendle.
Speaker 5: We'll just scart you to the nearest police station where
Speaker 5: you can't report the murder. Yes, sir, and then Watson,
Speaker 5: we must keep on the track of the radium that
Speaker 5: perhaps is more important than any life.
Speaker 4: How are we going to do that? We haven't a
Speaker 4: clue to go on.
Speaker 5: Remember, the Professor Bullan's three assistants are still missing. We
Speaker 5: must go to the homes of each of them and
Speaker 5: see what can be found out.
Speaker 2: Excuse realized by now that.
Speaker 5: Your sister's disappearance is part of something vastly more significant
Speaker 5: than you think.
Speaker 2: I must ask you and that my sister didn't disappear.
Speaker 4: What do you mean so you came to us and
Speaker 4: said that you had or it.
Speaker 2: Was all a mistake, gentlemen. She came back today.
Speaker 5: She'd just been down to the seaside for a short rest,
Speaker 5: and she'd forgotten to let me know. I'm sorry to
Speaker 5: have bothered you. May I see your sister at once, please,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, mister Holmes, but she's out just now. I
Speaker 5: don't know where she's gone or what time she'll be back.
Speaker 5: Missus Baker, I've come to you about your son's disappearance.
Speaker 7: I'm afraid that my son didn't disappear, mister Holmes, it
Speaker 7: was all misunderstanding.
Speaker 2: He came home today.
Speaker 4: Well, may we speak to him produced Missus.
Speaker 2: Bar I'm afraid that's impossible.
Speaker 4: You see he does.
Speaker 5: Missus Taylor, I want to talk to you about your
Speaker 5: husband's disappearance.
Speaker 2: Oh that he came home this afternoon. Mister Holmes. At
Speaker 2: first I was so suspicious.
Speaker 7: But when he explained, well, I'm sure you know how
Speaker 7: it is in the first few months of marriage those.
Speaker 2: Confound it, Watson, we are no nearer the solution.
Speaker 3: I meanwhile, here we are back in Vega Street to
Speaker 3: find the moving there has taken all your things off
Speaker 3: of Sussex. Perhaps you should give up the case homes
Speaker 3: and follow them.
Speaker 2: There's my career and another failure. No no, no, no,
Speaker 2: my dear fellow. I shall not leave London until this
Speaker 2: problem is solved.
Speaker 4: The case I'll sit down, looks to me as if
Speaker 4: it may prove a lengthy weight.
Speaker 5: I rarely felt more prostrated Watson. All three vanished technicians
Speaker 5: home safely with plausible stories or at least plausible alibis,
Speaker 5: and poor Bullah murdered.
Speaker 2: The radium is stolen.
Speaker 4: Musta it makes no sense to me.
Speaker 2: It must make sense. Paton was well enough to find
Speaker 2: in the beginning.
Speaker 5: It's just a question of finding the right key. In
Speaker 5: a way, it's clear enough what's happened. One of the
Speaker 5: three assistants, placing the financial value of radium above its
Speaker 5: value to science, murdered Boulin to obtain the prize.
Speaker 2: The other two, fearing that they're complicit in the.
Speaker 5: Original Plotwood, involved them as accomplices in murder, ran home
Speaker 5: and established an alibama.
Speaker 3: The murderer did the same thing. For it's obvious one
Speaker 3: of the three must be the killer and the thief.
Speaker 2: Yes, the question is which one of the three is
Speaker 2: the culprit.
Speaker 3: If poor Bulin were alive, he could help.
Speaker 2: Us, my dear Chap. If Boulin were alive, there would
Speaker 2: be no murderer.
Speaker 5: Now, let's see, let's see Let's see Boulan gave us
Speaker 5: a few bare facts about his three assistants.
Speaker 2: But of course, what's more. I have the answer. The
Speaker 2: case is solved.
Speaker 3: What do you mean, Holmes, that cannot be solved if
Speaker 3: haven't done enough investigation.
Speaker 4: If it comes to that you haven't even seen any of.
Speaker 2: Your three suspect isn't necessary, you know, did it? Yes? Watson?
Speaker 2: And so should you.
Speaker 3: But we know nothing to set them apart from each
Speaker 3: other except that one of them is a girl.
Speaker 2: You know more than that, my dear fellow, think hard?
Speaker 3: Wha Bouhlin told us that Jeffrey Barker was an excellent technician, while.
Speaker 2: The other summer you know even more than that.
Speaker 4: That's why I know what home.
Speaker 5: I shan't even need to stay in London and follow
Speaker 5: the case through to its logical conclusion. A telegraph to
Speaker 5: my Craft and another to Scotland the arch to take
Speaker 5: care of it. Yes, and I can.
Speaker 2: Be in Sussex before the moving van after all?
Speaker 4: You mean your going now before the case is solid.
Speaker 2: Is solved, my dear fellow. Well, that remains to be
Speaker 2: done is some purely routine work. What's the time splendid?
Speaker 5: If we hardly can catch the three forty five Express
Speaker 5: from Waterloo.
Speaker 2: We yes, I was.
Speaker 5: Counting on you spending a few days down there with me,
Speaker 5: old Chap. I hope you can spare the time. I
Speaker 5: should hate to make so plastic a change without my
Speaker 5: good old friend Watson at my side.
Speaker 3: Oh delighted, But but what, my dear boy, the case
Speaker 3: of the disappearing scientists.
Speaker 2: Wait until we get to Sussex, shall we? As soon
Speaker 2: as I get an answer to my telegrams, I'll explain
Speaker 2: the whole thing to you. Man. Now, let's hurry, shall we?
Speaker 2: Our train leaves in forty minutes?
Speaker 4: What he? What's in vane? Boy?
Speaker 2: Peaceful down here?
Speaker 4: Isn't it extremely the moment was confessed? I find it
Speaker 4: rather nerve wrecking. Oh why you know why? Holmes?
Speaker 3: I want you open that telegram and tell me if
Speaker 3: your solution to the Buller case was the correct one.
Speaker 4: Jap.
Speaker 2: Let's see m it's from Miecraft. Listen. Murderer arrested and
