Speaker 1: Oh there you are, mister barteltaining docty, say, where are
Speaker 1: the puppies receiving?
Speaker 2: Mister Bartel, don't you think it's about time you began
Speaker 2: to refer.
Speaker 3: To them as the dogs? Are almost a year old?
Speaker 1: You know, I stand corrected.
Speaker 3: Where are the dogs the safe?
Speaker 2: Well, they had another furious battle with a dead seal
Speaker 2: on the beach. Today my housekeeper, Missus West is giving
Speaker 2: them a much needed barn.
Speaker 1: They certainly haven't aversion to seals, don't they. Well, doctor,
Speaker 1: are you already with the nice new shell CON's adventure?
Speaker 3: Yes, my boy, And.
Speaker 2: As yesterday was Saint Patrick's Day, I decided to tell
Speaker 2: you a story that took place in Ireland a few
Speaker 2: years before the turn of the century. I imagine that
Speaker 2: you've heard of kissing the Blanistone.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, doctor, though I've never understood exactly what it meant.
Speaker 2: Well, let me explain it to you, because the ceremony
Speaker 2: plays a very important part in the story tonight. Blaney
Speaker 2: Castle is an imposing fifteenth century ruin a few miles
Speaker 2: outside the town of Cork. The castle, as many his
Speaker 2: stories high and in the Formerst Tower, the famous Blonistone
Speaker 2: is situated.
Speaker 1: What's supposed to be the point in kissing it? Doctor?
Speaker 3: The stone is.
Speaker 2: Considered a powerful talisman, and the legend runs that whoever
Speaker 2: kisses it is endowed with.
Speaker 3: Eloquence for life.
Speaker 1: To say, Doctor, if I ever get over to Ireland,
Speaker 1: I'll certainly kiss that stone. But you're such a storytelling yourself. Doctor,
Speaker 1: how about you've kissed it?
Speaker 3: It's about her. I'm afraid I never had quite enough courage.
Speaker 1: Courage Why does it need courage?
Speaker 3: Down?
Speaker 2: Because the blanistone is set in a most inaccessible position
Speaker 2: on the outside wall, To kiss it discustomer to lower
Speaker 2: the candidate for eloquence over the rampart head foremost with
Speaker 2: a friend hanging on to his.
Speaker 1: Heels from the top of a castle. Does sound dangerous?
Speaker 2: Doctor, It was, my boy, so much so that in
Speaker 2: recent years a great row of n spikes has put
Speaker 2: around the parapet to prevent an accident. Of course, at
Speaker 2: the time tonight's story took place, there was no such.
Speaker 1: Guard, and I have feeling that an accident did take place.
Speaker 2: Doctor.
Speaker 3: I tell you the story from the beginning.
Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes and I were staying in the city of Cork,
Speaker 2: where the Great manager solved the singular affair, which the
Speaker 2: local press had referred to as electricorn murders. A few
Speaker 2: days before departure for England, we paid a visit to
Speaker 2: Blanney Castle. I must confess that I had a certain
Speaker 2: desire to test the miraculous paths attributed.
Speaker 3: To the Blanistone.
Speaker 2: I have as soon changed my mind, however, as Holmes
Speaker 2: and I stood there high on the turrets of Blanney
Speaker 2: Castle and watched it, terrified of the shade being hauled
Speaker 2: up by his ankles and yelling at the top of
Speaker 2: his voice.
Speaker 3: Pull me up, Pull me up quickly.
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to faint, Great Scott, I had
Speaker 2: no idea that kissing the Barnistone was such a hazardous proceeding.
Speaker 4: Es it would seem that eloquence could be more easily
Speaker 4: obtained than by hanging suspended by one's ankles from a
Speaker 4: battlement with one hundred foot dropped below and kissing a
Speaker 4: piece of stone.
Speaker 3: I'll never do that again, or I must say, I
Speaker 3: don't blame the puller.
Speaker 4: And yet my Da Chap, on our way over here,
Speaker 4: you expressed the sneaking desire to kiss the yourself. I'll
Speaker 4: be very happy to hold your ankles if you want
Speaker 4: to try the experiment.
Speaker 3: After witnessing the ceremony acts.
Speaker 4: Her mind, then I suggest we make our way back downstairs.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's much more to be seen up here.
Speaker 3: Well by the way homes.
Speaker 5: Do you know the origin of the superstition regarding the.
Speaker 4: Blister, Yes, I do, Old Chap. The stone was sorry
Speaker 4: of the stone dates back to the middle of the
Speaker 4: fifteenth century. A certain Cormack McCarthy called the Strong, a
Speaker 4: descendant of the ancient kings of Munster and builder of
Speaker 4: this castle, chanced one day to save an old woman
Speaker 4: from drowning. In her gratitude, she offered Cormack a golden
Speaker 4: tongue which would have a power to influence men and women,
Speaker 4: friends and foes as he willed. She told him to
Speaker 4: mont the battlem and kiss a certain stone in the
Speaker 4: wall five feet below the gallery running around the top.
Speaker 4: He followed her directions and obtained all the fluent persuasiveness
Speaker 4: she had promised.
Speaker 2: I suppose the story spread in the Blanis Stone has
Speaker 2: been a magnet of pilgrims over since that person's legend Holmes. Yes,
Speaker 2: Old Chap tomorrow's Patrick's Day. I bet there'll be quite
Speaker 2: a bit of excitement in the village tonight. Don't you
Speaker 2: think it'd be rather fond of play it to one
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 6: Local in splendid idea Old Jabs or rather Arjumus.
Speaker 4: Work here in Aland is concluded, and I think we're
Speaker 4: more than entitled.
Speaker 1: Well, it be gaiety.
Speaker 3: In love today that I first matched.
Speaker 2: With name.
Speaker 5: Charming, quite charming, awake and singing.
Speaker 4: It is working very well too, just the same. I
Speaker 4: wish someone would come and take an hourder Oh there's
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 2: I'll see if I can catch her, Hi, missus.
Speaker 7: Smith, Would you, gentlemen, be after what and something?
Speaker 2: Yes, my dear, my friend, and I would like a
Speaker 2: little refreshment.
Speaker 3: And what would you suggest? What would I suggest, your honor?
Speaker 8: Oh, big god, there's but one drink.
Speaker 7: A gentleman like yourself should be after pouring down. Ye,
Speaker 7: and that's the cream of Carni boras wrisky is it
Speaker 7: is soft when you're hurting Nikya glow with a good feeling,
Speaker 7: so so that the little people will be.
Speaker 1: After visit sounds delightful. Bring two glasses, we.
Speaker 2: Don't I'm a sair I never heard an English barmaid
Speaker 2: go into such rhapsodies over a nipper whisky.
Speaker 4: You know, the Irish artists thinct him off colorful in
Speaker 4: their speech. It's an interesting fact, though, Watson, that the
Speaker 4: Irish are curiously unrewarding in.
Speaker 1: The criminal world.
Speaker 4: England's corts in America Australia have all produced classics of crime,
Speaker 4: but the Irish murder is almost without exception of purely
Speaker 4: physical affairs.
Speaker 1: Of hot block.
Speaker 5: You said that rather regretful of homes.
Speaker 1: Nobody a chap, No no, no, watsman did this rather florid.
Speaker 1: The gentleman coming towards our table looks to.
Speaker 3: Me as if he's a little under the wather. You
Speaker 3: fellows have got to have a drink with me.
Speaker 5: Oh thank you, sir, thank you, But we've just ordered one.
Speaker 3: I've gotta have it with me.
Speaker 1: I went to the races at Cork today and made
Speaker 1: a killing. I'm going by old drinks. Certain I'm afraid
Speaker 1: that you are you afraid of I'll sit down with
Speaker 1: you for a moment. My name's Hanking, Jeffrey hankin man
Speaker 1: Is Holmes, and this is my friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 7: That if you went into.
Speaker 1: Her I'm paying for these here half a crown, and
Speaker 1: you can keep you changeless.
Speaker 2: On you here if you insist on paying for our
Speaker 2: drinks with a handkins, here's your very health.
Speaker 3: You're both English?
Speaker 1: Answer yes, sir, so am I and it's certainly a
Speaker 1: relief to hear an English voice again. You don't like
Speaker 1: the Irish little sir conbearers personally? I rather chary. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't if you had to live with it all the time.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think that if I hear one more Irish
Speaker 1: tenors singing Molly Malone, or.
Speaker 5: One more reference to the little people.
Speaker 3: I shall go raving.
Speaker 1: There you live in I have to I own a
Speaker 1: half interest in the treadmill here.
Speaker 8: You see.
Speaker 1: In any case, my wife's hourish, and see thinks there's
Speaker 1: no other country in the world.
Speaker 3: So suppose I'm stuck here.
Speaker 1: See that couple sitting.
Speaker 5: At the table over there, you mean the follow a
Speaker 5: very beautiful.
Speaker 1: Girl is man's Michael Corker and my partner.
Speaker 3: The girl's absolutely ravishing. He'd like to meet her like George?
Speaker 4: Yes, what's in the combination of my natural curiosity and your.
Speaker 1: Taste for pretty face would seem to suit the occasion. Probably.
Speaker 1: I might as well warn you doctor that the pretty
Speaker 1: face belongs to my wife, your wife to me.
Speaker 3: I didn't you about to bring your glasses with you?
Speaker 1: My, my dear. I want you to meet two English
Speaker 1: friends of mine, mister Holmes and Dr Watson.
Speaker 3: How do you How do you do? Mister Holmes, Doctor Barson?
Speaker 3: Won't you sit down and join it? And this is
Speaker 3: my partner, Michael Corcoran.
Speaker 1: How do you do? Mister Cochran?
Speaker 3: How do you do?
Speaker 1: I'm glad to meet you.
Speaker 4: Please be see you gentlemen are visiting, yes, missus Hankin,
Speaker 4: but we're returning to England in a few days.
Speaker 3: You've been to Blarney Castle, I hope?
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we were this afternoon.
Speaker 3: And did either have you had the courage to kiss
Speaker 3: the Blarney Stone? Oh no, we didn't.
Speaker 5: I'm afraid it's an athletic feet.
Speaker 3: That's beyond me.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of jubbish, that's what it is, Sladow Stone.
Speaker 1: Have you the courage to do it? Jeffrey?
Speaker 3: Course?
Speaker 1: God, I have rather want to make a fool of myself.
Speaker 1: Where's the deathly I'll make a wager Jeffrey that you
Speaker 1: haven't the courage to kiss the storm.
Speaker 3: You bet Michael and Weigher a.
Speaker 1: Ten pound note on it.
Speaker 3: It's a bet.
Speaker 6: And you, fellows witnesses, are just the.
Speaker 3: Blondie stone at noon tomorrow and you'll be ten parts.
Speaker 1: Of poor of Michael, and I suggested mister Holmes and
Speaker 1: doctor Watson be present as well.
Speaker 3: They can act as referees.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, dear, don't get to ex time. So I don't
Speaker 1: like it when Michael suggests I don't have courage.
Speaker 3: You want some more drink, mister Henryson, No, no, no,
Speaker 3: no more. You've had enough, jeff Don't tell me when
Speaker 3: I've had enough money.
Speaker 8: In Dublin spare City.
Speaker 3: No, not that perfect, and I quite and I find them.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, quiet you.
Speaker 8: You wanted me to sing in other son, my.
Speaker 1: Honor would like you to shut up that filthy cattleboy.
Speaker 2: Sean.
Speaker 8: Please go on with your singing in Dublin spear City.
Speaker 6: You heard me, your great bug tucking shut up, Jeff I'm.
Speaker 8: Leaving here at once.
Speaker 1: Michael pleased to take me home. It will be my pleasure.
Speaker 3: Mary.
Speaker 7: You're an ugly man, mister Hankin knocking down poor Sean
Speaker 7: when he was singing, just like.
Speaker 3: A bird devil with him all.
Speaker 7: No irishman will be after forgiving you for this night's work.
Speaker 2: No, not the little people of old Ireland either.
Speaker 7: You've made more enemies, mister Hankin, than you'll ever see.
Speaker 3: But you'll be no one there there.
Speaker 1: You can't find me with your supid Irish superstition.
Speaker 5: Well, bless my soul. That was a charming little party.
Speaker 4: I must say, Englishman like Hankin are a disgrace to
Speaker 4: that country.
Speaker 1: Fortunately they're not represented a girl.
Speaker 5: Yes, I must say, hate to have curse put on
Speaker 5: me like that barmaid.
Speaker 3: Laid on him.
Speaker 1: Watson.
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you see the glances which mister Hankins's partner
Speaker 4: and his wife exchanged as brawl started. There was more
Speaker 4: menace to him in those glances than in all the
Speaker 4: threats of all the little people in Ireland.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the devil something between them. I say, home,
Speaker 2: that bet about Hankin kissing the Blindstone at noon.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow do you nothing? But there are forces at work
Speaker 1: here that I don't like. I think Watson, that you
Speaker 1: and I will be at the blind is Stone at
Speaker 1: noon tomorrow. It's possible that.
Speaker 4: The bet made tonight is all part of a definite plan,
Speaker 4: and I have a feeling that the bet is still on.
Speaker 4: Cry whiny up here today, o fellow at the top
Speaker 4: of the time, isn't it?
Speaker 5: Yes, it's just past noon. I wonder if that man Hankin.
Speaker 3: Is going to keep to the terms of his.
Speaker 4: Best he will soon learn in the meanwhile, are you
Speaker 4: sure that you wouldn't like to change your mind and
Speaker 4: kiss the blandistone yourself?
Speaker 3: I'm quite sure they go here, they come now?
Speaker 1: Yes, han Kin as his patn mister Copperan, the bet
Speaker 1: is on, Watson, good dad, you gentlemen. Oh hello, it's
Speaker 1: my friends from last night.
Speaker 3: Well, I see you're going through the bedson.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, Jeffrey city is mine and the ten pounds
Speaker 1: of mine. Your wife didn't come you, mister Hankin, No
Speaker 1: she didn't. I'm afraid I'm rather in disgraceful my behavior
Speaker 1: last night. Molly made me go around and see that
Speaker 1: way a fellow that I had. I offered him money,
Speaker 1: but he wouldn't take it. Did you offer him an apology?
Speaker 1: Apologize to a waiter? I should say no more. Come on,
Speaker 1: let's get this stripid fast over with eh. Are you
Speaker 1: sure your nerves can stand it, Jeffrey. It's a drop
Speaker 1: of one hundred feet or more below. You don't worry
Speaker 1: about me, Michael. Just so long my ankles tightling them
Speaker 1: to go. I'll come out of the power best. There
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 3: Oh, hold on my feet, Michael, lower me gently.
Speaker 1: I'm holding you. Jeffrey. Hell right, you are, Jeffrey good.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that for one hundred pounds. Sliding head
Speaker 2: first on a vertical wall. O.
Speaker 3: His boots they're slipping from it.
Speaker 6: The I can't hold him, help him, hold on to him,
Speaker 6: hold on to him.
Speaker 1: Oh he's gone.
Speaker 3: I just couldn't hold him. Right, heavens, no man could
Speaker 3: survive that drop.
Speaker 1: That the cocherman. You deliberately let your partner slip to
Speaker 1: his death. This is murder, which I don't understand. I'm
Speaker 1: a strong man. But he just vanished out of the
Speaker 1: hands like like a grease.
Speaker 5: Peak.
Speaker 1: Let me see your hands, mister cockman. This is dreadful, dreadful.
Speaker 1: There's grease on your hands. Greece, and with a faint
Speaker 1: trace of boot blacking.
Speaker 3: Good Lord Homes.
Speaker 4: That means Watson, that someone knowing that Hankin was going
Speaker 4: to kiss the barnistone smear his boots with grease so
Speaker 4: that he would slip out of the grasp of whoever.
Speaker 1: Was holding him. That's clever a method of indirect long
Speaker 1: distance murderers ever I've encountered.
Speaker 3: You'll hear the.
Speaker 1: Remainder of dark Watson's story in just a second. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to remind you that Petrie California's sherry is
Speaker 1: not only wonderful before dinner, but it's good almost any time.
Speaker 1: If you had to choose just one wine for almost
Speaker 1: any occasion, that wine would be Petrie sherry.
Speaker 3: Petrie sherry is.
Speaker 1: A perfect wine to serve in the afternoon or in
Speaker 1: the evening. It's good before dinner, yes, but it's swell
Speaker 1: after dinner too. In fact, with a bottle of Petrie
Speaker 1: sherry on your shelf, you've got practically a small sized
Speaker 1: wine selling. So get a bottle of Petrie sherry soon.
Speaker 1: And remember you can't miss with any wine that has
Speaker 1: the letters P E t R I on the label,
Speaker 1: because all Petrie wine is good wine. Well, doctor Watson,
Speaker 1: this is quite a story you're telling us tonight. What
Speaker 1: happened next? I suppose you went down into the castle
Speaker 1: grounds and looked for the dead man's bottle.
Speaker 5: We tried to mister Boutell, but the authorities were curiously uncooperative.
Speaker 3: It refused to let.
Speaker 2: Her search, insisting of the police be called first, and
Speaker 2: so mister Boutell half an hour after the tragedy, Holmes
Speaker 2: and I found ourselves standing in a tiny police station.
Speaker 3: As we told the story is a local sergeant shure
Speaker 3: the saysty prayers.
Speaker 1: Mister Holmes, tis a terrible story you have told me tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'll be after resting shan O Shahna Flarerty. He's a
Speaker 1: waiter at the end, the one who sings that he
Speaker 1: is that.
Speaker 3: He is, and he sings like a breath of spring.
Speaker 1: I'll be sorry to see him, Hank.
Speaker 3: But to you, you've got no proof that he was
Speaker 3: responsible for the murder.
Speaker 1: Proof, you say, sir, well, I can't arrest a big
Speaker 1: man of factory man like mister Cochran, can I or
Speaker 1: a fine lady like missus Hank. If you can't arrest
Speaker 1: a man without any evidence of gulte, I can't.
Speaker 3: Can't I?
Speaker 1: Then suppose they tell you that Sean o'farley cleans the
Speaker 1: boats at the hotel where mister Hank understand, does he?
Speaker 2: Then he had the perfect opportunity for the greasing of
Speaker 2: Hampkins boots this morning, and we know he had a
Speaker 2: motive for harming him.
Speaker 1: Your ri sir, and for what I have hoarded the
Speaker 1: dead man's behavior last night half a dozen people could
Speaker 1: have heard him make the bet that he'd kissed the
Speaker 1: blindisht on today, shan Oh Favi is a man I'll
Speaker 1: have the rest of tomorrow. What good heavens man? Aren't
Speaker 1: you going to do something today? A murderer is at
Speaker 1: large today, it's blessed Saint Patrick's day. Should let the
Speaker 1: poor fellow have the day? He said, oh, he won't
Speaker 1: run away?
Speaker 8: Mind yourself?
Speaker 4: Will you come back with me to the castle? And
Speaker 4: said for the body? They refuse to let me do
Speaker 4: it alone?
Speaker 1: And Saint Patrick's day that I will not. We would
Speaker 1: need a crew of helpers. Where will I be after
Speaker 1: getting them on the bless in Saint Patrick's Day?
Speaker 3: No, No, I will do that tomorrow too.
Speaker 8: Up.
Speaker 3: Today's a day for celebrating.
Speaker 1: Your methods, stand, miss Argent.
Speaker 3: Do they know, sir, they'll be.
Speaker 1: Out threaten about me? Just injoy yourself today. Tomorrow we'll
Speaker 1: see what can be done about it.
Speaker 3: Well, good day to you, gentlemen.
Speaker 2: I never scenes that you're having a lucky placemen and
Speaker 2: the light infuriating.
Speaker 1: If only I have a lot to examine Hankins's product
Speaker 1: can get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 3: Well, what are you going to do now? Please?
Speaker 4: Won't help us, then we mistake the law into our
Speaker 4: own hands. I think we'll start up by going to
Speaker 4: the hotel and seeing what we can find out from
Speaker 4: Seawan Farty.
Speaker 8: As I was going to Berlin, you are day. I
Speaker 8: will remember for the view the lens and lesses one
Speaker 8: and fifth day of November with a marine a day
Speaker 8: and a marine. I do a daddy, Oh your honnas
Speaker 8: would be after speaking to me, Shan o clarity perhaps.
Speaker 1: Yes, Sean, did you know that mister Hankson, the man
Speaker 1: who struck you last night, was dead?
Speaker 5: Dead?
Speaker 8: Will if he were a man deserved to be beneath
Speaker 8: the side? Who was Jeffrey Hankin himself a mean, ugly man?
Speaker 8: The safe be praised that he's gone.
Speaker 3: Did he die?
Speaker 1: Sir?
Speaker 3: He will murder.
Speaker 1: Murdered but dead.
Speaker 8: I'm not surprised to hear it.
Speaker 3: Who murdered him, sir?
Speaker 1: Now the murmur of the police seem to think that
Speaker 1: you are the culprit myself.
Speaker 8: Well, how would I be after murdering the man, sir?
Speaker 8: And I don't even know how he died.
Speaker 3: He died when he fell from the top.
Speaker 2: Of Blanet Castle as he was trying to kiss the stone.
Speaker 4: He fell because missus Cochran and his partner couldn't hold
Speaker 4: on to his feet.
Speaker 2: His boots have been greased, and we know that you
Speaker 2: have been cleaning his boot, Sean.
Speaker 1: That I have, Sir.
Speaker 8: I cleaned him this very mining, but I put no
Speaker 8: grease on him. If that's what you'd be after suggesting.
Speaker 4: I'm suggesting nothing. I am trying to establish a few facts.
Speaker 4: Do you know Kathleen the barnard.
Speaker 1: Oh In, Why shouldn't I know?
Speaker 8: She's a beam me wife Before the winter Sitting.
Speaker 4: She pronounced a curse on the dead man last night,
Speaker 4: just after he had knocked you down. It's possible that
Speaker 4: she left.
Speaker 3: She comes on, Sean mc darling, what is the fine
Speaker 3: gentlemen doing.
Speaker 1: Here, Katleen?
Speaker 8: They've come to ask me questions about the death of
Speaker 8: mister Hankin. He fell off Blanney Castle today and got
Speaker 8: himself murdered.
Speaker 3: They say, the saints be praised, But.
Speaker 7: What is that to do with you, my darling?
Speaker 8: Will the gentleman tell me that the village police think
Speaker 8: that I might have greased his boots so that he
Speaker 8: slipped to his death.
Speaker 1: The village police is as stupid is my father's big sow.
Speaker 7: If mister Hankin fell to his destiny because his boots
Speaker 7: were greased, I can tell you who did it, and
Speaker 7: did who the little people. I warned mister Hankin last
Speaker 7: night that the little people would be after him.
Speaker 1: He insulted the eel.
Speaker 2: Oh, come, come, come, my dear, you don't share the
Speaker 2: expects to believe.
Speaker 3: In and the little people?
Speaker 8: And why not, your honor?
Speaker 7: We have them here, say the fairies all be dead,
Speaker 7: But I know different. I've seen them. When I was
Speaker 7: a slip of a girl. Close to where I lived,
Speaker 7: there was a rat. That's a fort, you know, And
Speaker 7: the rat was the fairies for it. We never dare
Speaker 7: touch it with a spade or cut down a tree
Speaker 7: grow in order to carry away a stone. We put
Speaker 7: our ear to the ground at night, and and we
Speaker 7: could hear the fairy music rising up from.
Speaker 3: Under the ground.
Speaker 7: Ah, they're gentle people most of the time. But they'd
Speaker 7: greased the boots of a man like mister Hankin if
Speaker 7: they didn't like them, that they would.
Speaker 3: Your honor, Homes.
Speaker 2: I'm certain that we're wasting our time here.
Speaker 4: I guess I Watson, you got the whole thing turned
Speaker 4: on the greazing of those boots. If only I could
Speaker 4: have the boots in my hands, if only I could
Speaker 4: maketory tests.
Speaker 1: But until that, don't to the police. But of course
Speaker 1: I have it, Watson, you have what home? The answer?
Speaker 4: I hope get hold of missus Hankin and mister Cochran,
Speaker 4: have them meet me in the Blandistone tower.
Speaker 1: In half an hour?
Speaker 4: And you where you going to the police station to
Speaker 4: try and convince the sergeant that, even though St Patrick's dates,
Speaker 4: his duty.
Speaker 1: To help me trap a murderer. Do you know, mister Holmes,
Speaker 1: you're an obstinate man. It's pless at Saint Patrick's day,
Speaker 1: and yet you insist that we meet here on the
Speaker 1: top of Bardy Castle.
Speaker 3: What do you think you can prove.
Speaker 1: Who murder Jeffrey Hankin best?
Speaker 3: But why to Mary and.
Speaker 7: I have to be here, Yes, mister Holmes, and poor
Speaker 7: Jeffrey's body is still lying somewhere, belows.
Speaker 4: Missus Hankin and mister Cochran. I asked doctor Watson to
Speaker 4: bring you here for a good reason. I assure you
Speaker 4: you're ready, Watson quite ready? Home good Sergeant, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: you ask me if why I've assembled the three of
Speaker 4: you here. I'm going to reconstruct the crime. I shall
Speaker 4: pay the part of the victim. My friend doctor Watson
Speaker 4: will represent you.
Speaker 1: Mister Cochran. Now I straddled the part of it. So
Speaker 1: what's the hold on on my feet?
Speaker 5: Real?
Speaker 1: I've got him home and law him down the face
Speaker 1: of the wall. Cure home home, hold tight to the wall.
Speaker 5: Can't push yourself back.
Speaker 3: The murders tied to get you your boost coming in Greece.
Speaker 3: Come away, I I've come home.
Speaker 1: Come here we go.
Speaker 4: Oh that was a near thing, devilish pot, sergeant, and
Speaker 4: that it heavily carried out, and my boots were ungreased
Speaker 4: when I entered the castle. And yet someone has been
Speaker 4: able to apply grease to them without my knowledge within the.
Speaker 1: Last few minutes.
Speaker 3: Sure, how is that possible, sir?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Sergeant. I must confess.
Speaker 5: Combs use tumble as you came up for dartin staircase?
Speaker 4: Do you remember that stiltab I've forgotten, and you missus Hankin,
Speaker 4: and you mister Cochran, but kind of not to assist
Speaker 4: me to my feet. An excellent opportunity to apply the Greece.
Speaker 4: Now we know that one of you two is the murder.
Speaker 4: I must have a job of grease somewhere as that.
Speaker 4: And will you search the lady while I search, mister cochran.
Speaker 1: But this is ridiculous, of course it is.
Speaker 3: How could we be guilty?
Speaker 2: Well, if you're not guiltems, you've got no objection to
Speaker 2: being searched.
Speaker 1: On my word, here are your post, Missus Hackners, a
Speaker 1: jar of Greece. Now what have you saved yourself? Can't
Speaker 1: you say, sergeant, except that she engineered her husband's murder
Speaker 1: and try to engineer mine.
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, I knew nothing about Jeffrey's murder.
Speaker 3: Oh, Michael, Darling, I swear to you.
Speaker 1: Won't worry, my darling, I'll not got the murder.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you you're wrong, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1: I I was the murderer.
Speaker 3: Oh no, Michael, you mustn't sacrifice yourself for.
Speaker 1: Maling this little play acting has gone far enough. Mister Cochran.
Speaker 4: You have just offered us and what you think we
Speaker 4: will accept as a false confession. But I've established the
Speaker 4: one thing I wish to know. That you love your
Speaker 4: late partner's wife.
Speaker 1: And she you. I'm proud to admit that, mister Holmes,
Speaker 1: and now that she's a widow, I can say it
Speaker 1: in the open. But what how you implying that you
Speaker 1: murdered your partner but the grease on your own boots, Sir,
Speaker 1: I just found a jar at missus Hanks.
Speaker 4: That my dear sergeant was all part of my little plan.
Speaker 4: As to the grease on my boots, I confess I
Speaker 4: placed it there myself, just as I planted the jar
Speaker 4: of grease in your bag. A fraud accomplished two ends.
Speaker 4: It forced you, mister Cochran, into a portrayal of your love.
Speaker 4: But what was more important, It proved from what Dr
Speaker 4: Watson's natural reactions were, that a man holding the greased's
Speaker 4: boots could not fail to realize that fact.
Speaker 1: At once. You brazenly committed murder of paul overy eyes,
Speaker 1: mister Cochran, hoping to appear as a person victim of
Speaker 1: another's plot, Your theory is an ingenious one, mister Phones,
Speaker 1: But how can you prove it? I can clean that
Speaker 1: my hands are unusually insensitive, not the delicate fingers of
Speaker 1: a doctor like your friend. Yes, he's right, sir. How
Speaker 1: can you prove it when, with your kind cooperation, Sergeant,
Speaker 1: we find the body of mister Hankin and examine it.
Speaker 1: I shall study his boots.
Speaker 4: If the grease was applied at the hotel, as it
Speaker 4: would have been if Shauna Flatty had done it, the
Speaker 4: boots will.
Speaker 1: Reveal dust from the warp here.
Speaker 4: If there is no dust, the grease must have been
Speaker 4: applied as you grasped your partner's boots with grease smeared hands.
Speaker 1: Mister Cochran, you should know best what my tests to run.
Speaker 3: Don't please don't by money me, darling.
Speaker 5: Now, great Scottie he jumped off the parpet.
Speaker 1: Now, mister Holmes, you can see that I was right, sir,
Speaker 1: wasn't I? What do you mean, sergeant? And waiting until
Speaker 1: tomorrow to get the search party, now we can be
Speaker 1: after finding both bodies at the one time,
