Speaker 1: Doctor Watson. Doctor Watson, who was the blood stained Goddess.
Speaker 2: The answer, mister Harris to all of the questions about
Speaker 2: the goddess involved a chase through the eerie streets of
Speaker 2: Limehouse that would have broken anyone's nerves. It caused a
Speaker 2: hideous death and had one of the most mystifying final
Speaker 2: results I have ever seen Holmes produce. We were in
Speaker 2: the flat two twenty one b Baker Street. Holmes had
Speaker 2: a visitor, a very distinguished and obviously wealthy Chinese gentleman.
Speaker 3: Ooh bray Be seated king Ian.
Speaker 4: You are most kind and hospitable, mister harm.
Speaker 3: I take it the importance of your mission justifies the
Speaker 3: long trip from China here to London.
Speaker 4: There's the harm you say, mister Ken, you are a
Speaker 4: provincial governor China. Yes, doctor Watson, and that does a
Speaker 4: thankless difficult pause. The natives you see are illiterate, encourt
Speaker 4: in plan to violence and treachery. We stamp out the
Speaker 4: flames of one rebellion, only to learn another, husband kindled wes.
Speaker 2: I understand your position very well, sir.
Speaker 4: The greatest revolt we had ever faced confronts us now,
Speaker 4: mister Holmes, it is led by a strange, unearthly person.
Speaker 4: The natives worshiped this person with a fanatic love.
Speaker 3: And who is this idol?
Speaker 4: A young girl, Sir, Madame Pashe, a power's enormous thousands
Speaker 4: of natives have gladly died for her. Just recently, my
Speaker 4: troops gained the upper hand in a city where we
Speaker 4: believe we might capture her, But the goddess disappeared.
Speaker 3: Why have you come to me, ken Gwan? I must
Speaker 3: find Madame Pashe and bring her to justice? Or should
Speaker 3: I say, mister Holmes, you must fand her.
Speaker 2: Have you any notion as to where she's gone off to?
Speaker 4: We captured her closest friend and adviser, an old gentleman
Speaker 4: named Chung Foo, but they would give us no clues whatsoever.
Speaker 4: Then he too disappeared. Nevertheless, my operatives did trace Madame
Speaker 4: Tarchhe here to London. Shall come to London secretly to hide,
Speaker 4: to raise funds to plut her return.
Speaker 3: And I am to find Tarshi and turn her over
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 4: It will be well worth your while, mister Holmes, Can
Speaker 4: you describe her to me? Shares are normally tall for
Speaker 4: an Oriental and extremely thin shas jet black hair huge
Speaker 4: eyes and speaks English.
Speaker 3: Well, what do you propose to do with her? Once
Speaker 3: I've turned her over to you?
Speaker 4: There's no doubt that her trial in our province will
Speaker 4: lead to our execution. Her death will end the revolution.
Speaker 4: Will you do it, mister Holmes? Will you search London? Fahr?
Speaker 3: I will king On.
Speaker 4: I am dreadful. I shall return later to learn of
Speaker 4: your progress. Good night, mister Holmes. Dr Watson, good night, sir,
Speaker 4: good night. I shall forgive your mister Holmes. If you'll
Speaker 4: fail this is more standerous and difficult tas sign man.
Speaker 3: King one, I shall find your illustrious renegade. The word failure, sir,
Speaker 3: appears only in the Dictionary of.
Speaker 2: Fools by George Holmes. This is hardly the way to
Speaker 2: find Madame Tarshi. Sitting here in mobile in Baker Street.
Speaker 3: Is an appalling lack of clues, Watson. But they will
Speaker 3: be supplied by whom where well, Watson. Just as there
Speaker 3: are persons desperately anxious for us to find this mysterious woman,
Speaker 3: there must also be persons anxious to prevent it. I
Speaker 3: no doubt we shall hear from them soon enough. Again
Speaker 3: a conclusion of mine affirmed open the door, Watson. Mister Holmes,
Speaker 3: I am Sherlock Holmes. This is doctor John Watson.
Speaker 4: How do you do what you do?
Speaker 3: As for you, sir, your name is Chung Foo. You
Speaker 3: are a loyal follower of Madame Tashi and you arrived
Speaker 3: in London this morning. About the Mary Anne, Well Holmes.
Speaker 2: I shall ask this gentleman not to say another word
Speaker 2: until if you have explained how you could surmise all
Speaker 2: that I should be most interested myself.
Speaker 3: A previous visitor of ours described an elderly gentleman. He
Speaker 3: questioned as to taxi's whereabuds, and said the name was
Speaker 3: Chung Foo. I've observed previously that we should soon hear
Speaker 3: from the other.
Speaker 2: Side of this issue and the Marie Anne.
Speaker 3: With due apologies, I must note that Chung Foo seems
Speaker 3: terribly impublished. He would therefore travel to London in the
Speaker 3: most inexpensive manner possible by the lowliest fraterer to struggle
Speaker 3: into port. Therefore, mister Chung must have arrived today recalling
Speaker 3: this morning's shipping page. Just one freighter doc this morning,
Speaker 3: the Mary Anne.
Speaker 2: That's superb, superb.
Speaker 4: You are correct, mister Holt.
Speaker 5: I have come to employ you not to accept whatever
Speaker 5: upper King Huang has married. Madame Tashi must not be found.
Speaker 5: She must be allowed to continue her great work. She
Speaker 5: is indeed in London to secure funds for the people
Speaker 5: of Metiang.
Speaker 3: But Chung Fu, I understand that Madame Tashi is undermining
Speaker 3: the structure of the duly authorized government.
Speaker 2: Kenguan lies. He is a bandit chieftain. Really he said
Speaker 2: he was the provincial governor.
Speaker 5: No, doctor Watson, keng Wan is master of the province
Speaker 5: only because of his troops and his guns.
Speaker 2: He's a tyrant. He brings corruption. He is a cruel,
Speaker 2: cynical oppressor. And Madame tacI she leads the opposition to him.
Speaker 5: Yes, she would free our people. You will not search
Speaker 5: London for her, Mister Holmes, I beg of you.
Speaker 3: I cannot promise.
Speaker 2: We are a poor people.
Speaker 5: I cannot offer what King Wan must have offered.
Speaker 3: I am not concerned with the financial benefits of this case.
Speaker 3: I never am.
Speaker 5: May I return within a few days for your decision
Speaker 5: you Bethin.
Speaker 3: Good night, Chung Foo, good.
Speaker 2: Night, gentlemen, goodnight, well homes. There are stories were so
Speaker 2: diametrically opposed. One of the two Chinese is a conniving scoundrel,
Speaker 2: But which one.
Speaker 3: My first step, Watson will be the library to study
Speaker 3: the province of mick Yang for whatever we may learn.
Speaker 3: Gets your things on, Honey, I.
Speaker 2: Really don't see how you hope to arrive at the
Speaker 2: fax home. King one knows nothing. Chung Fu wouldn't say
Speaker 2: a word about where Tashi could possibly be.
Speaker 3: Come Watson down the stairs. We'll fetch a cab and
Speaker 3: investigate at the library. And here's the front door. Oh
Speaker 3: see your cab hose one moment. Our trip to the
Speaker 3: library will not be necessary.
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 3: Whatever information we may require is just ten feet away
Speaker 3: under that gaslight sprawled on the street.
Speaker 2: It's chung Fu homes. He's dead, Yes, it's next being
Speaker 2: broken ghastly, sir.
Speaker 3: Just leave the body there for the police to find. Watson,
Speaker 3: We've more urgent business at Limehouse.
Speaker 2: Lime House?
Speaker 3: Why there because of the dead man's shoes?
Speaker 2: Why really holds up?
Speaker 3: Most specifically, we're off to a just house, to a
Speaker 3: Chinese temple of worship.
Speaker 2: Why the dickens should we go their host.
Speaker 3: Upon the sole of the lake chung shoes, You'll notice
Speaker 3: a gum like substance, Does I see it? Now? That
Speaker 3: substance indicates where Chung Fu had been. One may detect
Speaker 3: an odor about the gum. It's a perfume gum distinctively perfumed.
Speaker 3: If the substance found upon just sticks which are burned
Speaker 3: like incense, and a Chinese temple.
Speaker 2: You know homes. If we go poking about the dark
Speaker 2: recesses of Limehouse, we're very likely to find ourselves lying
Speaker 2: as Chung does here in.
Speaker 3: A gunner, with our next broken. Indeed, we may but
Speaker 3: fetch a cab watson. However great the danger but comes,
Speaker 3: we shall hunt for Madame Tashi in every temple, and
Speaker 3: then in Limehouse.
Speaker 1: What sort of world would this be? With our friends,
Speaker 1: personal friends and business friends? For instance, your local independent
Speaker 1: merchant who wins and keeps your friendship by offering you
Speaker 1: honest goods at honest prices. More than twelve hundred such
Speaker 1: friendly independent retailers feature Clippercraft clothes, and their combined purchasing
Speaker 1: power is so tremendous that they can sell clipper Craft
Speaker 1: suits for only forty five dollars. Clippercraft top coats from
Speaker 1: forty to forty seven to fifty made in New England
Speaker 1: by master craftsmen clipper Craft clothes take their name from
Speaker 1: the proud New England built clipper ships. So Clippercraft stands
Speaker 1: for quality and rock ribbed American honesty, honest materials, honest workmanship,
Speaker 1: and the down to earth honesty of your friend and neighbor,
Speaker 1: the independent merchant who sells clipper Craft clothes. That's why
Speaker 1: men who know insist on clipper Craft clothes bearing the
Speaker 1: Clippercraft label. So be sure to visit the clipper Craft
Speaker 1: store in your city.
Speaker 2: These leading stores.
Speaker 6: In the metropolitan area are proud to add their names
Speaker 6: to Clippercraft in your suits, topcoats, and overcoats. In Manhattan,
Speaker 6: John Wannamaker Men's Stores Broadway at eighth and sixty seven
Speaker 6: Liberty Street, Sachs thirty fourth Broadway at thirty fourth in Brooklyn,
Speaker 6: Abraham and Strauss in Newark, New Jersey, Boulevard Men's Shop Cresky, Newark.
Speaker 6: And in Jamaica, the B and B Clothes Shop, one
Speaker 6: sixty four oh eight Jamaica Avenue.
Speaker 1: Doctor Watson, You and mister Holmes were racing to Limehouse
Speaker 1: to find Madame Tashee.
Speaker 2: So we were mister Harris. We reached Limehouse soon enough.
Speaker 2: We entered a just house and limehouse cosway was up
Speaker 2: a flight of rickety steps. It was a dark room
Speaker 2: with wooden benches, incense burning from half a dozen bowls.
Speaker 2: Prostrate Chinese prayed before the idols. In the distance, a
Speaker 2: gong was striking, calling more Chinese to prayer. Howes and
Speaker 2: the phonetics defending Madame Tarsh She will split our throats.
Speaker 2: They realize that we're.
Speaker 3: Up to calmly, Watson, we know the dead man was
Speaker 3: in one of these houses. Tonight, look about, walk as
Speaker 3: quietly as possible toard the front.
Speaker 2: Yes, Virtue are well. These people are watching us very.
Speaker 3: Closely, curiosity. Perhaps, If not, then a more insidious reason
Speaker 3: just ed your way toward the front. Watson, there's the answer.
Speaker 3: But where the Chinese priest notice anything peculiar? Oh?
Speaker 2: Simple looking chair, customary, long front?
Speaker 3: Look closely, Watson, what are I doubt if he is
Speaker 3: a priest, an agent rather of taras ringmed Lord? How
Speaker 3: do you know the stains upon his teeth? Fe are
Speaker 3: the unmistakable stains made by the beetle nut beetle out Yes,
Speaker 3: I remember her, Sammory Andrews chew it with a leaf precisely,
Speaker 3: doesn't it strike you as odd that a priest should
Speaker 3: indulge in that awful habit.
Speaker 2: Quiet.
Speaker 3: Look, he's leaving the minute. Here right at the top
Speaker 3: of the stairs to the street.
Speaker 2: After him says, he dares down this alley, went into
Speaker 2: that door.
Speaker 3: We must go through that door, also, Watson, if we're permitted.
Speaker 2: Careful. These cobblestones are slippery hair. There's blasted bug and
Speaker 2: it's way here. Here's the door.
Speaker 3: Knock.
Speaker 2: You know it may be suicidal. We don't know what's
Speaker 2: on the other side of this door.
Speaker 3: Go on, what's a knock? Yeah, we want to come in.
Speaker 4: You want the leon?
Speaker 3: Maybe come in? You have money, Yes, come in.
Speaker 4: I will find a sofa where you cannot relax. I
Speaker 4: will be back.
Speaker 2: Fiendish Place. Homes. The addicts sit in those booths smoking opium.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 2: You see the priest that we followed, he was here as.
Speaker 3: We stepped in. He just disappeared through those green curtains.
Speaker 3: We'll lose him, homes. Let's follow him, not just yet.
Speaker 3: He might be killed if he step through those curtains, Watson.
Speaker 3: The man seated on the floor playing the oriental read instrument.
Speaker 2: Why is an edict? The blazed eyes.
Speaker 3: Isn't he it's what he's playing playing. Yes, he played
Speaker 3: one tune for a second. If the priests stepped through
Speaker 3: the curtain, now he's playing another. It might be a coincidence,
Speaker 3: but it might also be a signal.
Speaker 2: Yes, I see hose to tell whoever's behind that curtain
Speaker 2: of the man coming through? Is all right?
Speaker 3: If we could persuade the musician to play the same
Speaker 3: tune he did to the priest, he could step through
Speaker 3: the curtain. I shall speak with him careful, hope, my friend,
Speaker 3: could I persuade you to play the tune you played before? Oh?
Speaker 3: Are you some one who believes it'll be worth this?
Speaker 3: The hear that melody? H it's a lot of money, guv'nor,
Speaker 3: it's yours if you'll play the melody? You want to
Speaker 3: pass through the curtains safely? And they kill me? I
Speaker 3: hardly think so. It's extreme the dark. You might have
Speaker 3: made an error. I'm taking a long chance, Governor. Very well.
Speaker 3: If you don't want the money.
Speaker 4: I as soon as I start playing you duck through
Speaker 4: the curtain.
Speaker 3: Good, go on, come on?
Speaker 2: What some better homes?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: There isn't anything back of this curtain, just a door
Speaker 2: emergency door, isn't.
Speaker 3: It Yes, leads to another alley. I'd say open it,
Speaker 3: go on, open it.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is an alley, and in the pong bear
Speaker 2: see this is a man, the knife in his hands,
Speaker 2: gleaming the moonlight.
Speaker 3: Obviously the music lover, who listens for the signal from
Speaker 3: the red instrument step into the alley wantson. But we
Speaker 3: must hope the signal was correct him, that he doesn't
Speaker 3: become suspicious. Keep an eye on him. He may throw
Speaker 3: that knife. Now step into the alley. That's it. Slowly
Speaker 3: watchim watch him.
Speaker 2: So far, so good. There's nothing in this alley with
Speaker 2: the doorway over there looks as though it were a
Speaker 2: delivery entrance to some sort of shop.
Speaker 3: A shop. I shall now visit Watson alone.
Speaker 2: I won't hear it.
Speaker 3: You must wait here watch our friend with the knife.
Speaker 3: If he acts up, you must dash into warn no
Speaker 3: I will. Besides, one of us must be free out
Speaker 3: here in the alley, ready to run for the police.
Speaker 3: If I do not return from this shop within five minutes,
Speaker 3: don't come in, don't raise a hullaballoo. Run quickly in
Speaker 3: quietly for the police, as fast as possible.
Speaker 2: I understand what confounded home. Must you take this awful risk.
Speaker 3: If I intend to find Madame Tarshe? Yes, of course,
Speaker 3: Now wait here much hurr five minutes, good evening. You
Speaker 3: are the shop keeper here.
Speaker 4: Cut from our flaver, come from back way, I anta
Speaker 4: back way.
Speaker 3: I'm looking for something.
Speaker 4: Letter malam, let you for a shark? Then, no, what
Speaker 4: did you want? Madame Tashie, I thought, so does not hear?
Speaker 4: I do not know how you find this pless but
Speaker 4: now you do not live to tell Lorcash.
Speaker 3: I want to see Madame Tashi, and I have every
Speaker 3: reason to believe she is here. I shall continue demanding
Speaker 3: to meet her until you've stopped me by pulling the
Speaker 3: trigger in beyond above.
Speaker 4: That that will not be long nor pleased. So is
Speaker 4: it to kill and hide body as lame house I
Speaker 4: kill you now? Must spa.
Speaker 3: Musta. His name is Holmes.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 4: Mister Schulot comes Madame Tache.
Speaker 7: You will not have need of your revolver a male.
Speaker 4: Your sir, madam, you may leave your father, Madam.
Speaker 7: Mister Holmes, I regret the necessity of receiving the foremost
Speaker 7: criminologist of this time in such sordid circumstances.
Speaker 3: Quite usable Madame Tashi, you.
Speaker 7: Have served King Juan well.
Speaker 3: You have found me.
Speaker 7: He will reward you magnificently, will he for the present? Yes,
Speaker 7: then when your services are no longer of any value,
Speaker 7: you will receive the same fift as my beloved Chumpu,
Speaker 7: who lies dead now before your home on Baker Street.
Speaker 3: Your secret agents serve you well, Madame Tashi. King Hun
Speaker 3: tells me that you are a revolutionary. He has a
Speaker 3: gallows marked for you. He waits to smile in the
Speaker 3: shadow of your silhouette dangling from his rope.
Speaker 7: Is it wrong to spread the doctrines of brotherhood? Mister Holmes?
Speaker 7: Is it wrong to defy this King Juan, who unleashes
Speaker 7: the four horsemen of the Apocalypse that they may right
Speaker 7: propagate over the soil of my native land.
Speaker 3: King Kuan is a brigand.
Speaker 7: He exploits my people. He despoils and enslaves them. He
Speaker 7: is Attila the Hun, Philip of Spain, Divan of Russia.
Speaker 7: He mocks the spirit of my people and drives it
Speaker 7: into the dust. Is it wrong to try to help
Speaker 7: my people? In the East, Confucius was driven into exile. Mohammed,
Speaker 7: the Prophet of Islam, was forced to flee from Mecca.
Speaker 2: In the west.
Speaker 7: You English boast of your great Magna carta? Was that
Speaker 7: not written to protect the people from the ravages of
Speaker 7: a despotic monarch who, in some ways was nothing but
Speaker 7: a counterpart to our Chinese warlords, our languages and our customs, Dipper,
Speaker 7: But we seek the same goal, we follow the same star.
Speaker 3: I see, Madame, that King Juan was misguided. It will
Speaker 3: not benefit him to hindune, nor will it benefit him
Speaker 3: to hang you from that gallows. He can exterminate a
Speaker 3: human being, but not an idea.
Speaker 7: You are quite right, mister Holmes. We have been persecuted.
Speaker 7: There has been blood spilled from the hills of Mikion
Speaker 7: to the cobblestone by ways of London. But the blood
Speaker 7: is rich with our fief, and it will fertilize the
Speaker 7: soil where it runs.
Speaker 3: So you may reap your reward.
Speaker 7: You may have me return to China, where I will
Speaker 7: be given to King Juan, But quickly, please.
Speaker 3: Good night, Madame Tashi.
Speaker 2: Oh there you are host. I've been terribly worried about you.
Speaker 2: What happened did you find Madame Tashi?
Speaker 3: Yes, Watson, I found her? Well, well, where is she? No?
Speaker 3: Time now will excussiplate her and slash back to Baker's
Speaker 3: feet to a wait the rival of King Juan the murderer.
Speaker 4: I'll answer Holmes, good evening, mister Holmes, Doctor Watson, King Juan,
Speaker 4: I'm here in the hope that your mayor have bought progress.
Speaker 3: Excellent progress, King Juan, the name of another killer is
Speaker 3: to be added to the long roster of men and
Speaker 3: women who challenge to my powers of protection, to their regret,
Speaker 3: the name of another kella yours, King Juan, you murdered
Speaker 3: Chung Fu, And if you look toward my bedroom door,
Speaker 3: you'll see a gentleman emerging for as he once Holly.
Speaker 3: I presumed that on this trip of yours to London
Speaker 3: you've meet all of our distinguished citizens. May I present
Speaker 3: Inspector Lestrade.
Speaker 4: A pullice inspector, the dog on the sub.
Speaker 3: An impressive demonstration of futilism, Lestrade. When King Juan recovers,
Speaker 3: I trust you'll see to it that his turn of
Speaker 3: our city conclude with a visit to Newgate Prison.
Speaker 2: With homes. You still haven't explained about Madame Tarshi. You
Speaker 2: did find her, you said.
Speaker 3: I did, Watson. But shall it end there as a
Speaker 3: secret between us. Shall we tell the world I never
Speaker 3: did find Madame.
Speaker 2: Cashi, Well, certainly if you wish, But why home, Why.
Speaker 3: I spoke with her? Watson? Her help for her people
Speaker 3: must go on at all costs. So let us say
Speaker 3: that I never did find Madame Tashi. Let the pursuit
Speaker 3: of that fantastic quarry be another legend of Blindhouse.
Speaker 1: Of Doctor Watson. The story of the bloodstained goddess was
Speaker 1: most intriguing. Now will you tell us what you adventure?
Speaker 1: We shall share with you and mister Holmes next week.
Speaker 2: I be delighted, mister Harris. Next week I shall relate
Speaker 2: to you an adventure I have called the Guest in
Speaker 2: the Coffin. It concerns a joyful mortician, an unprecedented wave
Speaker 2: of police murders, and one of the strangest invitations Holmes
Speaker 2: ever received.
