1
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Unsolved mysteries.

2
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Murder most howls, as in the best it is, but

3
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 2>this most howl strange and unnatural. Had William Shakespeare penned

4
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>these lines about the murder in the Room Morgue, his

5
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 2>description could not have been more fitting. The murder in

6
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 2>the Room Orgue was not only strange, it was incredible.

7
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>It was impossible. Yet it was.

8
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 3>This the place. Thank you, I think.

9
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 1>At a.

10
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Thing.

11
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>The scene is Paris.

12
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Not the Paris of the bright lights, the boulevards, the

13
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>cafes and the theaters, but that Paris of dark, narrow,

14
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>crooked streets, That Paris in which murder is no stranger,

15
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 2>That Paris where the wrong glance, the carelessly spoken word

16
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>is answered by the knife thrust, and the offender is

17
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>found cold and stark, staring with glassy eyes. At a

18
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 2>waning moon two o'clock in the morning, Mademoiselle Ruse de

19
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>LaCour turns into La Rue Morgue. The guttering street lamp

20
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>shows her lithe of figure, pretty of face, at the

21
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Moiselle of the boulevards. She stops at her apartment number

22
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>sixteen and rings the bell.

23
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 4>Vella who is it Rose? You are very late?

24
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Road.

25
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm very child. No, no, the.

26
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 5>Reason not what it was.

27
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 4>H No, young gentleman, to buy you been harry.

28
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>You have guessed the self time. No, don't know that

29
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm angling.

30
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 4>He hums me into my room.

31
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 1>The coffee he is hot.

32
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 6>The bread, the sales perhaps.

33
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>But not those tales rolls good say.

34
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 4>Why do you not go to the country, away from

35
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 4>all these me to the country. I cannot live without

36
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 4>my party. We love to be staying the theaters because

37
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 4>favorite body found. No no, no nurse they can perceive.

38
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 4>And no one call upon me today, not one single person.

39
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 4>I shall he not one come company.

40
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Drink the cause feel mean to sleep. Tomorrow may be brighter.

41
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 4>You have been very good to me.

42
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I will do what you say.

43
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 4>I will go to bed, but not to sleep, and

44
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 4>then not.

45
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Alone, not to sleep.

46
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Slowly, Rose de LaCour makes her way up the creaky,

47
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 2>rickety stairs, five flights of them, with the rotted, worm

48
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>eaten banister giving under her touch as she pulls herself

49
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>wearily onward her own room. At last, the heavy door

50
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>groans as she opens it closes it, the rasping of

51
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 2>the lock. She turns the key, the dull click of

52
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the boats top and bottom of the door as she

53
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>forces them home. The one window, with its leaded panes

54
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 2>of glass, slams as she closes it and turns the

55
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>catch that locks it in place. Dreary silence broken only

56
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>by the hammer like ticks of the old clock has

57
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>rows undresses and gets into bed. A puff and the

58
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 2>candle is out, its dying flare, showing wisps of smoke

59
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>curling ceiling.

60
00:04:43.959 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 6>Words Bruse Road, get up my sherry.

61
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Ten o'clock.

62
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 6>I have the coffee in the rose.

63
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Rose.

64
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Pose what is it, madam?

65
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 4>There is something wrong?

66
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I know it.

67
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 6>Ro She doesn't answer me.

68
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Or perhaps it is that she is tired and sleeps. No, No,

69
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 4>it is not that won you but I'm afraid God

70

00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 4>speak to me.

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 6>It is susan to friend.

73
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 1>What is it you? She is dead? I know it,

74
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>trouble Rose Rose. She does not answer me. Let me

75
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>knock on the door. No answer that. We break down

76
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 1>the door. Morning.

77
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 4>You cannot break down that door without a knack.

78
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, yes, being a nut we take. We cannot

79
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 7>bake on the door. I'll shuck it together. Wait to

80
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 7>get the door.

81
00:05:58.600 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 4>Said without the age.

82
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>You can do nothing here. This is the biggest facts

83
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>in the shell. Give it here.

84
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 6>Stand back, many people another a little more down back.

85
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't it. I told it. I can't reached the boat.

86
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 7>Sam through the heathing high fighter. This was no knife crass,

87
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 7>No that damn that's sort or nothing right through and

88
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 7>four in heating through the knights.

89
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>She's she's dead, yeah, said madam. I got your room.

90
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>We went.

91
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Come dad. I hope we can affect her. But yes,

92
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>this is very strange.

93
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 7>Lit the window is left on the inside, asked Steve

94
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 7>brown Boy persil tennant.

95
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>It is he or she could not have come in

96
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>gone out that way?

97
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 7>It is sixty think about the ground, nothing to I want,

98
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 7>no way to get in or out, and no mark

99
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 7>on the window the.

100
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 8>Door, both the top and bottom. Whoever did it couldn't

101
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 8>have turned the key in the locks, but they both

102
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 8>said no. One could not shoot balls after leaving the room, Jinny,

103
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 8>not that way, either wanted or not. It's easy if

104
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 8>anything smaller than usual. You see a tile chimney not

105
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 8>even large enough for a cat. Nothing bigger than a

106
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:12.120
<v Speaker 8>bird could get.

107
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Through that chimney. But somebody, somehow got in here, killed

108
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>Rose and get out again? Hoddan, Hoddan? Yes, who came

109
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in here last night with Ross? No one, not one

110
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>single person certain? Oh?

111
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Rose came home at two o'clock. She rang the bell.

112
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 6>I myself opened the door.

113
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 4>She drek some cofee in my room, and then she

114
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 4>came upstairs. I watch her go.

115
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>No one could get into the ouse without passing your room.

116
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>And Pierre looks over the house before ten o'clock.

117
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 4>Then attend the door is bolted, and no one can

118
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.639
<v Speaker 4>get inside after that without me, Madame de fran seeing.

119
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 8>Them, and whoever committed the murtherer must have gone in

120
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 8>before that and eating in.

121
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 4>The house, but he could not get out again.

122
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I have the key to the front door and tell

123
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 1>you a way.

124
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 7>That right not explained how he got into Royses's room,

125
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 7>and he does not explain how he gets out again.

126
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh, thank the pole.

127
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm inside, sucker. But nothing before that I see anything

128
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 7>like this. Look you nothing a ported door. It's up

129
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 7>window sixty feet.

130
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Above the ground. I'm fussy, I'm fu he's happened, but

131
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>he don't. I'm huck. We would go to the ste

132
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:09.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm muched a col work on this.

133
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Cliss But neither Monsieur le Coun nor any of the

134
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>other brilliant minds of the French police could find any

135
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>clue upon which to start an investigation. The apartment was

136
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>searched almost tall apart in an effort to find the

137
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>trapped door or secret passage. Nothing nor the suggestion of anything,

138
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>always a bolted door, a locked window.

139
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks later, Monsieur.

140
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Le cour is seated in this office as the serious

141
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>tased off into the Lieutenant. Monsieur courlo know no further

142
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>develop more in the delical case.

143
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 7>Nothing, monsieur, I have cone the underworld of party, hoping

144
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 7>for the chance, wor for a single thing that one

145
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 7>might call it clue. An't see any enemies, no, monsieur,

146
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 7>not that that the fine, no money, nothing to be

147
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 7>a robber. Not what touch careful plan you had someone

148
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 7>watching at the morgue when the when the.

149
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Rose Delacour was laid down, we.

150
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Monsieur, not to put the use to one morbid crowd.

151
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 7>No, No, I'm well character and decide that everyone that

152
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 7>I have picked up at it presently as the alibis

153
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 7>of that time.

154
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 2>You are no suspicion of Madame du prince normally. Besides,

155
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>no woman's got that, granted which she could have knitted

156
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>the murder and let him out again.

157
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 1>That still does not account for the door bolted on

158
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:16.399
<v Speaker 1>the insieme.

159
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>May we, of course more lutono always we counted the

160
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 2>door bolted on the in's head.

161
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 7>Always with you, till my dying day, I shall find

162
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 7>myself face to faith, for that's out outdoor bolted top

163
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 7>and bottom at lady, glass window knocked on the inside,

164
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 7>and all de la cour lying there staring unseeing at

165
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 7>the Stelius.

166
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 2>And today, almost half a century later, when the Paris

167
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 2>police discussed the murder in the room Orgue, they come

168
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 2>face to face with the same problem, the lost window,

169
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 2>the door bolted top and bottom on the inside. Our

170
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>deference to people who are still alive, character names in

171
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>these unsolved mysteries have been changed inasmuch as any solution

172
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>must of necessity be supposition. Liberties of time, place, and

173
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.159
<v Speaker 2>character exist in the solution that will be presented after

174
00:10:01.200 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>you've heard from your sponsor, Ladies and gentlemen, the solution

175
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 2>for which you have been waiting, Tell me, monsieur le

176
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 2>cur have you no idea after all these years.

177
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 1>As to how the murder of Rose de la Cour was.

178
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Perpetrated, Maarie, because I think I have a possible solution.

179
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>You must understand, monsieur.

180
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>And at the time of the murders, in the room

181
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 2>or the chimney sweep was a familiar figure on the rooftops,

182
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and among the chimney pots are Paris chimney. This week,

183
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Monsie Marie, the chimney sweep cleaned the chimneys of Pari

184
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>by lowering a round brush on a piece of rope

185
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>or a pool made of many pieces of wood fitted together.

186
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 2>I understand you understand me here that I have no

187
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 2>idea who the murderer might be, but I think I

188
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 2>know how he committed the crime. These murderer realized that

189
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.600
<v Speaker 2>he chimney swep would hardly be noticed on the roof

190
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>of Rose Delacour's apartment. I can see him donning his disguise,

191
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 2>an old foot grind suit, carrying his bag of paraphernalia.

192
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 1>But hidden in that bag was a French bayonet.

193
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.759
<v Speaker 2>I can hear him as he creeps over the tiles,

194
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>muttering to himselom easy the way.

195
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I have planet, he cannot fail.

196
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 9>I lower these two oaks on the two lengths of string.

197
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Now lower the bayonet.

198
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.519
<v Speaker 9>Then I will go to Rose de la course room.

199
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 1>I will lie under the bed, and when she is

200
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 1>fast asleep, by killer. In a few moments, I fixed

201
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 1>the oak to.

202
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 2>The door and the strings to the balls.

203
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 9>It is so simple and very turn to the roof.

204
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 9>I pulled it too, stringe and ulla they bolts stair close.

205
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 9>I pulled the syring and the hooks up the chimney.

206
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 9>And yes, I must not yet, I must not forget

207
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 9>the third string. Hy pulled him two, because on.

208
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 1>That I have to play in it.

209
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 9>How they will puzzle over the mystery, these French police.

210
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 2>And puzzle they did, these French police, and with them

211
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the world. Edgar Allan Paul wrote his solution.

212
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 2>But Paul was writing fiction, and so in order to

213
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 2>give legitimate literary punch to his deneumon, he ignored the

214
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>fact that the chimney was too small for even the

215
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 2>tiniest monkey, let alone an ape, to get through.

216
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 5>The cot of the first time. This is not important

217
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 5>of the s A something happen at
