• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson, may we have a look into
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the fabulous windmill.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The windmill was on the isle of Vulkra in the
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Dutch province of Zieff. It was just behind the huge
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: sea dykes. The windmill stood silhouetted against the moon, while
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: just beyond the earth and ridges of the dikes, a sea.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Lashed the coast curiously.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: A man wrapped in an oil skin and wearing gigantic
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: boots was pounding at the door of a windmill.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, what can I do for you?
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: I am the dike inspector. My name is Vaness.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: What do you wish, Inspector?
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I want to talk to you very important.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: You can tell me here. You don't have to come in.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: What's on your mind?
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: This windmill is supposed to be abandoned, it is I
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: just stopped by for a moment, did job?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: I was thinking of purchasing the mirr of restoring it
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: to an active basis. I see, this is the first
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: opportunity I've had to look at the mill.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I'm leaving in a moment. I shall return tomorrow in
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the daylight for a clear of you.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Have you finished lying?
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: What do you mean, inspector?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I will tell you the truth. The arms of the
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: windmill are stationary. The mill does not show any lights.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Everyone in the neighborhood has believed the mill is useless, desertive.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: So it is during the day till I continue.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: By all means, go on, Do go on.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: One night on my patrol, I came here to the window.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I look, I listen. You are using this mill for
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: some kind of criminal business. People come here to see you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: You give them papers, money. They are strange. They sneak in,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: they sneak out, they carry weapons.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: I'm terribly sorry I was so rude when you first knocked.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Do come in, inspector. I have an office upstairs. Perhaps
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: we can discuss your discovery up there.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: All right, let us go upstairs.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Yours must be a pleasant task inspector.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: In the spring years, but in the winter no.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I should imagine the position is not very lucrative, inspector,
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: not very Then you might be interested in a few
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: guilders too, shall we say, supplement your weekly pittance?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I might be.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I would be grateful if you would forget about this
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: particular wind mirror. I have a few gilders in a
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: chest at the top of this stairway. I'd be delighted
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: to give them to you. How much here we are
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: chest is over there? Say thousand guilders satisfactory?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: No, how much? Then five thousand.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You will elaborate notions, Inspector.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Five thousand, not one gilder less.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be difficult to value you.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: You cannot frighten me. I drive the bargain. I have
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: only to report you to the police. I said five
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: thousand gilders.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: You're a stupid meddling idiot. It would not be worth
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: one gilded by your silence. I haven't any way of
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: knowing that you would not betray me. After you've collected
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: the money, get out.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: You will not pay my prize.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I will not.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I shall go to the police on.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Police headquarters is less than a mile away.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: You do not want to reconsider.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: No, good night, inspector, good night. I must apologize for
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: not accompanying you downstairs.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Again. I'm rather busy.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: You do not have to be polite charming.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: These long winding stairways in your Dutch windmills most picturesque.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Convenient, too convenient.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, if I should want to do away with someone,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: for instance, if oh, that's necessaries for me to push some.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: My name is diviet, mister Holmes, Cornelius.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Dit be seated town. This is my friend and colleague,
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: doctor Watson.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: How do you know, doctor Watson?
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: May I ask mister de Witt, what brings you here
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: to Baker Street.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: I am the chief of police on the island of Vulcar,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: and mister Holmes, he's on the western shore of the Netherlands.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: The Netherlands.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Mister de Witt, in addition to your police duties, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: have a dominating wife, and you are once employed by
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: a railway.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Your reputation, mister Holmes, he's evidently homes How do you
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: know these intimate details about mister de.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Witt Because he's making a desperate effort with his hand
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: to conceal his cravat, which obviously embarrassed because if it's garishness,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: it's clear that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: He must possess a dominating.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Mate who has forced him to spot the article of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a patrol although he disapproved of it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Correct sir, absolutely, mister Holmes.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: As for your railway background, you take an extraordinarily long
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: step for a man of your struture, the characteristic of
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: railway employees who've spent many years walking over times. However,
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: I assume you haven't come to Baker's Feet to discuss yourself.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: You have a case, I.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Should say, a very difficult case, mister Holmes. That is
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: why I have come to you. We had a Dyke
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: inspector named Finesse. He's vanished real under what circumstance?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: He left on his.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Usual tour of duty One afternoon He patrolled a few
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: miles to the shore.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: He was never seen again. Did anyone along his customary
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: route see him that day? Oh? No one. Have you
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: examined the patterns of his private life?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Very carefully, mister de whip Is said, yielded nothing nothing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: He was happily married, He had no offspring. He owed
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: a few small debts, that is about all it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Couldn't he have fallen into the sea by accident? Oh?
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: I hardly think, told doctor Watson Vaness, with a thoroughly
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: experienced handed strolling along the Dyke road, I cannot help
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: feeling he met a band of thieves or murderers. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: would you come to valcar In, mister Holmes, and help
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: us find the poor chap.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Most certainly, mister de Witt, the disappearance of Inspector van
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Ness has a pungent, irresistible odor of deep intrigue.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: By T. Holmes. I've never seen his fouler night as this.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: It's no wonder The Dutch a hardy folks, but with
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the way the sea roars at them constantly threatening their lives, wrapped.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Your great coat.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Well about you, Watson, we must examined the entire length
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of the road along the dyke the root of the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: missing inspector.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't think you were a bit undiplomatic and rejecting
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: mister de Witt's offer to accompany us.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: But he would be an encumbrance when we are stroking
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: our prey. I spoke to him privately and requested that
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: he keep his distance, but.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: The police would over this area homes. I don't see
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: why we.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Evidently our missing Inspector van Nest reached this far on
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: the road.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: How'd you know?
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Because of a piece of rope where that road sign.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Clearly it was shaken loose by the force of the wind.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: A hasty improposation was devised. The sign is now held
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: to that wooden post by a piece of rope.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: The Dutch are an order in nation, Watson.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: This would have been repaired had the damage occurred more
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: than a few days ago, I should say the inspector
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: found the sign upon the ground and repaired it temporarily
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: in this fashion. Therefore, on the day of his disappearance,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he must have progressed this far.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: How shouldn't we continue our search tomorrow and broad daylight?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Definitely not, Watson, like the lantern you've brot along. Whatever
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: evil force cause the downfall of the dike, Inspector is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: still at large. It must be stopped before it strikes again.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Ah, oh, really, homes With, we've walked quite a distance. Now,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: we've poked about in a dozen barns and windmills. Isaoh,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it's repair to the nearest tavern. The crackling fire some
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: brandy rest. I won't hear of it? Watson, Hello here
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that que listen?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: What the dickens? Could that be?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It originates to our lift? Perhaps from that windmill come
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: off the dike across this meadow?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Must you death so quickly? Homes Yes, it does come
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: from that windmill. To the closer look, it looks abandoned
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: The windows are boarded up, the arms don't move, the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: wood on the sides is running away.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: There's the cause of the sound. We heard the door
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of the mill. It's open and swinging back and forth
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in this wind till we.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Have a look inside.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Not just yet, it's conceivable we've more to learn by
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: examining the surroundings the lantern, Watson, turn it about very well.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: See the mill better now.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, no distinctive markings to the right, Watson, So the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: beam falls to the right.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Grants has grown over the pathway leading to the mill.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Of course, it has the mills abandoned homes. That's Deacon
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: one moment.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: What is the earth? You see the earth? Step over here?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Notice that earth, Watson, what do you see?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: We'll sort of a patch of earth that looks much
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: lighter than the rest of the earth.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: There can be only one reason for that, by dear Watson,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the earth being freshly turned. There's less organic matter in
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: some soils. Notice how much more tightly packed the earth
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: is all around that patch.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Someone's been digging in the spot to conceal something.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Eh, we shall soon know. Look about you. These farmers
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: often leave a shovel or two lying by the mill.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Done here, homes, Try closer to the mill.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: There's that found one excellent. Now we shall dig for whatever.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: See crit lies deep below the seemingly innocent glass.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: We've we've done terribly deep. Host Are you're sure there
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: might be something here?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I have no doubt.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Fantastic Rodert turn the black night, digging into the wait
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: for shovel. I think, I feel so quickly. Then the
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: shovels earth away? Did it feels soft?
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: There we are? It's it's a human face. There's a
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: body here.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, from the description provided us by mister de Witt,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I should say it's the body of the missing inspector.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I'll push the earth away, get it off of.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Them, bodies bruised, lacorated.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, fine, snapped in two, there's monstrous death.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you've found band this Holmes so who did away
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: with him and buried his body?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: The answer to that question life Just before? You want
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: from me inside the abandoned windmill.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Quite?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: You going in there now? Immediate man? Or shouldn't we
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: summon their thoughts? That is not necessari but at.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Holmes there's probably a homicidal maniac somewhere on that awful mill.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Only a fiendish mine could have caused a to debt. Yes,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: and we've a rendezvous with that mind. How we step
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: inside here's the door.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson, I'm curious to know what will become
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: mister Holmes when he steps inside of the fabulous windmill.

  Speaker 3: It was unbelievable.

• 13:40
  Speaker 1: A table, a few chairs, millstones, coming Watson closed the door.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Think there's anyone upstairs. It's likely the killer. Guess Look

• 14:01

• 14:05
  Speaker 6: is not the water mark of the official papers used
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: for this purpose. Look there it is money counterfeit, I should.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Say, let's see. Yes.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Note the finer lines on a pound note of the
• 14:13

  Speaker 3: What is all this?
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: These seemingly peculiar items Watson possessed one characteristic in common travel?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: And what sort of travel?
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Illicit travel by fraudulent passports, by worthless currency, the travel
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: of criminals. What we have here is a magnificent display
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: of criminal talent. It requires considerable ingenuity to create these
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: items so beautifully. The creator, I should say, a witness
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: at the top of the stairs, So let us mount them.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: Do you know who it is?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Only one mile has the fertility to conceive of the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: plan that I believe this is, and that the nest.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: To execute it. It's the mind of the one man
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: whose intellectual promise I respect.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It's the mind of Professor Moriarty, Lorioty, it's after him.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, we shall steal up quiet unless we
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: disturb him. This right you are? But what are you
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: pulling that rope for?
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: I'm moving upon Watson in my endless game? Viza be mariati?
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: Shall we go up this?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Indeed, this confounded wouldn't stair with it creaks? So get
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: a conversation home.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, do not proceed to the top of the stair.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Stop approximated three corners of the way up. We can
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: even drop this capital.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Here we are sh and how did you reach Harandlona? A?
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: Didn't Professor Moriarty? It was a macabre journey. After the
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: funeral when we buried my dear parted husband, I rode
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: off in the usual black draped carriage, but my driver
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: did not return to my home. Instead, we ashed for
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: the border. The police were unpleasantly close to learning how
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: my husband had died. Yes, I then made my whale
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: by rail on foot, by hiding in wagons to Bratislava,
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: to Vienna, the northward across Germany to Dortmund, and so
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: into the Netherlands.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: My dearly loner, The police of the entire continent have
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: been notified by a telegraph that you're wanted for the
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: murder of your husband.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Amazing, isn't it hurt Sidon's Watson?
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: That is why I've come, Professor.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: You must help me certainly.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Of course, before we may continue, there is the matter
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: of reimbursement for my services.
• 16:48

  Speaker 2: Careful Holmes. He'll shoot at the slightest publication.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Oh no, doctor Watson, I have much better plans. At
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: the window, Homes, I could not mistake the two figures
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: on the road of the dyke.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Let the door of the mill open, MARIARTI a lure
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: us turret to it. I realized this was a trap
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: from the moment I heard the door swinging.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: In the wind.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: In so secret a places, this extra precaution would always
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: be taken to see that the door was locked securely.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Your eagerness to meet me again, Homes, will cause.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Your demise, will it?
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Mariotti and I have devised a special means for you
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: to die.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: I must compliment you, sir, on the magnificent criminal structure
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: you built in this mill. This windmill is an emergency
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: exit for the men and women of the continent who
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: are wanted by the police, Is it not, yeses, for
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: an enormous sum, you provide them with passports, money, entry visas, customs, decorations, information, arms,
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: devious roots to the farthest and darkest corners of the earth,
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: where they may find welcome obscurity.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Even more, I've clothing for them, disguises, chemical and medical
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: equipment in this windmill to change their appearance. An endless
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: cavalcade of forgers, traitors, arsonists, major and minor thieves, kidnappers,
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: murderers pass through this windmill, and thanks to my genius,
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: they will allude the stupidities of law and live on.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Now descend the stairs, holes, go on. Surely you would
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: not choose the ignominious death of being shot by an
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: ordinary pistol.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Such as I have in my hand. Very well, I
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: shall descend. What is that horrible noise?
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: The wooden gears of the windmill, Doctor, The tremendous, powerful
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: gears like a dragon's chief, turning slowly as the wind
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: makes the arms of the mill revolve. You may see
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: them as you go down. Look at them closely. They
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: are relevant to your death.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Oh inspiring sight? Aho, Yes quite? Shall I tell you
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: how you will die tonight?
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I shall force you, later, doctor Watson, to step closely
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: enough to those gears so that you become caught in them.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: You will be.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Slowly crushed to death, each portion of your body being
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: ground to pout by the teeth of the mill.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: And load some idea worthy of you, Marie Auntie.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Eh, here we are at the bottom of the stairway,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: the perfect spot for you to step toward the gears.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Homes, perthy, Homes. You may have inflementations, but it's for me.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I'm what's not your put his show turn Homes.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: It's just a few steps toward the wooden gears.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Once a portion of your clothing is caught, the rest
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: is inevitable.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Doctor Watson. Don't turn away when he's caught. Even if
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: you do not see what happens, you'll hear it now.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: I'm waiting, Homes, walk toward the gears.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Just a few steps. That's it. One step, two s
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Your time, police is to do it until then. If
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: you move towards me, I shall kill doctor Watson my
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: gun at his back. He's an ideal. She just don't
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: fire the wit you'll kill Watson. I'm leaving by the
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: same door through which you entered. Officer, back up, doctor Watson.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: So kind of you to protecting his way. Go on
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: fire him. I'll resk you. You don't too dangerous. Good night, gentlemen.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Homes until we need again, should offer him the witch
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: kiss him.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: It's too dark out there, very gals running along the
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: road on top of the dyke.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I'll have my men with you him. That would be tootile,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: mister de Witch.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: He's disappeared already, as you may well observe, your men
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: would never find him.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Money Off is far too clever up in an ordinary
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: police boss.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: It requires a brain equal to his. In shots mine
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and mine low.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Well, hos is most real assuring to be safely back
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: here in the planet Bakers Street.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Have you heard from the vulturin police?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, Watson, in accordance with my suggestion, they confiscated the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: entire contents of the windmill and that lever book of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: names and addresses. Mariarty's personal list of his clients will
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: be an infallible guide for the police of half a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: dozen nations to pick up.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Divers, scoundrels. Elona the murderers, whatever became of her.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: When she left the mill, she walked instantly into the
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: hands of de Witt and his constable.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: For that what I wanted to ask Combs, how did
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: they find us of the mill.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: You'll recall my saying, Watson, that I spoke to de
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Wit and requested that he keep his distance. I was
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: not foolhardy enough to embark on the venture without expecting
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: his assistance. We agreed that he and his men would
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: patrol the original three miles of the Late Dike Inspector's post,
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: which they did. I promised to supply a signal as
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: to our whereabouts the moment help was required, I.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: See, and you did that by pulling the ropes in
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: the mill.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: The rope releases the mechanism of the arms. Watson, there
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: was a good wind. I knew the arms would then
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: stop spinning. That mill was supposed to be abandoned. I
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: knew when the Witt and his men saw the arms
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: revolving in the deserted mill, they'd come a running.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Splendid splendid.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Of course, I'll never know why each step as we
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: go along is so difficult for me yet so obvious
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: It depends upon your definition of the word obvious, my
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: dear Watson, The obvious is that which is hardest to discern. Well,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: doctor Watson, the adventure of the fabulous windmill was just
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: as hair raising as you'd promise, even more so. As
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact. Now, may we have a hint
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: about the adventure you've planned for next week.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, next week I shall relate to you the adventure
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: of the Uddington Witch, mister Harris, a Micawbo tale, I
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: assure you, involving a strange oak tree, a shrink in
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the night, and an unpressed pair of trousers,
