  Speaker 3: I'll put the patio.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: I took a seven iron and some old golf balls
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: on the beach this afternoon. I improved my game, I
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: thinking the dogs had a great time chasing the golf balls.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: On the way home, the little rascals had a furious
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: battle with an elderly Pelican, so that they was complete.

• 0:42
  Speaker 4: usual churn, I'll get on with tonight.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes adventure from the Hints who gave us last week.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I guess the Frenchman played a prominent part in the story.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yes he did, mister Botel.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: His name was Prosper Lavilla. He was a detective of
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: some notes in his own country.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: The time my story begins, it was in eighteen, one
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Nine, to be exact, Villa had come over to London
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: to discuss with Holmes the difficulties of translating some of
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: his monographs into the French language.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: At this particular time, I was in the early days of.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: My marriage, mister Bartel of This fact, combined with a
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: busy practice, meant that I saw very little.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Of my old friend.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: He must have messed you, darka you who.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Will court you admit the fact. But Turbert did. To
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: get home with my story. One troubtless June afternoon, I found.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Myself in the neighborhood of Baker Street, and I couldn't
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: resist paying.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: A visit to Holmes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Missus Hudson was out.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: But having retained my old latch key, I let myself
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: in and mounted the familiar stairs. It gave me a
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: strange feeling as I raised my hand to.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Knock on what once had been my own living room door.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Allen Warren, Oh, Hello, Oh, I beg your pardon.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I know you watch my dear fellow. How very nice
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It's great to see you, homes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry I interrupted you.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: I didn't know that you had company, not at all.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Idea delighted, don't this is a Monsieur vill.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: I wasn't wished to meet the so chairming doctor Watson.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Holmes has told me a great deal about you.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: It's nice, suh, Watson explanded, Old gained a little weight,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: haven't you a few pounds away? Said? Aren't you.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: You sure that I'm not interrupting you in some important discussion?
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: No, doctor, we were having a good natured argument on
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: the relative abilities of the French criminal compared to the English.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Interesting he was lend me your supports.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Levill I is convinced that the English criminal is a
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: very dull dog.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Indeed, well, we've missed some far from dull ones.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And that time I assure you, monsieurle.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Via, the exceptions rather than the whole life here moshall,
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: doctor your son aunt Olivia, I believe me his idea friend,
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: that I will yield to no one in my amiration
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: of your knowledge and skill. That is why I wish
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: I could persuade you to practice in Paris.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: Ah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: There you would find opponents really worthy of your Still,
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: what can happen to interest you in this land of
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: grave fogs, boiled potatoes and pots of.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Team You're not the flat run.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Up is insular advance my friend.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Will you say that the English criminal is dull?
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Perhaps if you were to read a publish story of
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: man called a Study in Scarlet you think differently.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It tells a very exciting adventure.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: That Holmes and I head I have read it, my friend, Oh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: an extremely gripping story. But surely you will admit that
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: the client was essentially of a Melton knowledge.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Ha ha. He's right, he's perfect a right.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Dear me, what can I do to vindicate the dishonor
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: of the London criminal? Let me see? Oh, yes, yes,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: of course, a copy of Today's Times. That's fine.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I shall introduce you to a section known as the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: agony column. Now, oh, yes, here we are. This should
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: convince you of the color and variety of English life.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: The agony column mechan's most painful.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: What is it playing?
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: A personal columns liable to contain anything from a lover's
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: frantic appeal to his lady.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Love to a ransom note.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: In my profession, I've frequently found it an invaluable medium
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: for contacting the underworld. Yes, no, yeah, we are, yes
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: something demmi, oh yare No? Today's column seems rather.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: Uninspired, braid, May I examine it?
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Of course, if the lady who helped my little boy
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: across the road at the corner of Threadwell Street and
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Hibern last Wednesday at four or will get in touch
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: with box eight four five, she will learn of something
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: to her advantage that can be more colorful than that
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: embaries my presners.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I think we can do better than that too.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Printer must have been half asleep when he set up
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the type for this advertisement. Will any gentlemen interested in
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: discussing cryptography and cipher writing please communicate with vox XQL
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: six nine.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Six the time.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: Why I failed to find this message anymore stirring than
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: it was shitting well, Notice the execrable printing duncho, which
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: did I do? It is all mixed up. The first
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: world will starts with the capital W and the capital I.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: The second world any starts with a small A and
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: then has a capital N and y. It is a
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: shocking example of typeograd.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: And when it a curs in a paper noted for
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: its excellence and typesetting, man realizes that this is no mistake.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: This is undoubted their code message.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: How come now, my friend, I defy you to make
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: a mystery out of the Prince's neggative accept.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: A challenge, my dear beyond.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: If you recall the Baconian bilateral cipher depends upon the
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: use of two sizes of type. If we group the
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: letters in units of five, the arrangements of small and
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: capital letters within the group should give us the message.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Now let's see, two.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Capitals followed by three small gives us the letter H.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Then two capitals one small, two more that gives us each.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: I still think you are trying to make an adventure
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: out of a mere printing accident. No mere printing accident
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: could so readily fall into one of the great traditional cibers.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Now let's see this message read j H el help
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Q two small a QUI Quilta help culttera.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: L L two small and large elms.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Help cultera elms thirty is yes, pench help cultera elms pen.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Help quilter elms pend What does that mean?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Presumably the man named Quilta, who lives in a house
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: called the Elms in the village of Penge.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Needs help.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: I see it now, a helpless victim help prisoner. He
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: smuggles out this message as a as a harmless person
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: and restriction instructions that it'd be printed on this art form.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: He knows that the amateurs of cryptography, to whom it
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: is addressed will decipher this call for help.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Well, monsieur Via, you seem ready to grant the adventure
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: can exist in London.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: After all, the advantage madea Watson of a more mercurial
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: temperament than the Englishman possessed. Well and beyond what about it?
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: So we set off for Pens and rescue the junior
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: ingenious mister Quilt from what about dire fate awaitshim in
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: the elms.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: I am all in patience.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Spend it, Watson. I suppose you're too busy to join us.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Too busy, Well, I'm in your practice. I'm sure that
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: you have patience.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Matter of fact, I have two further visits to make today,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: one to a pepri old miser who has gout, another
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: to a wealthy society woman who has a.
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: Cute attack of hot hypochondria.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: They call it the places with both from I'm coming
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: with your homes if you.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Want, Barbara Watson, and grab your hat and coat. The
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: game's a foot.
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: Here you are, gents. The Helm's pain. Nice afternoon for
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: a drive, wasn't it? Prady for cost you're fifteen, Bob, though.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: There's a sovereign for you. You can keep the change me.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you again, now.
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: Top of the evening to your gents.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: So this is the Elm. Quite a bit of land
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: for such a modest neighborhood.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: To call it the Elms seem remarkably in a for
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: prop I cannot see an lm tree in sight.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: So you see lavia the English have for imagination, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you give him credit card?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Are you just going to walk up to the front
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: door and knock home?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: The direct approach is often the most satisfactory.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, you disappoint me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: I had hoped that perhaps you would adopt one of
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: the disguises.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: In which you have so adept.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: I am told, well, since it's unlikely for these people
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: know me by sight, that's hardly necessary, isn't. However, I
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: trust that this little problem may reward you with some
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: colorful highlights.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Before we threw.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: It, Scott Volva shots. They came from the house.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: Have you're too late? Mister Court has been murdered?
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I think not.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: You will observe that the next door neighbor to the
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Elms was mowing his front lawn as we drove up,
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: he is still engaged in the same occupation. Obviously, revolver
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: shots attract little attention.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: This my son, mon dieu, you mean that violence in
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: sudden death are so common that they do not attract
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: even the passing indice.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: No, we are, even the British are not as pragmatic
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: as that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Then what is the answer to those shots?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Some member of this household is addicted to pistol practice.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: The fact that a shooting target is nailed to the
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: back of that fence over there would further support the theory.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: That's rather ominous in my opinion.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Well, give me out the front door. Let's keep our
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: wits about us anyway.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: Are you carrying it at wolver? Doctor Watson's at stethoscope?
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: But I'm afraid I was prepared for sickness when I
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: left the house today, and.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Not for crime.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: I too am unambed. How about you, Miss Lams only.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: A maga magnifying glass. I'm a right, hardly a very
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: lethal weapon. Yes, my friends and I were calling on
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: mister quitter.
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: Oh who are you?
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: My name is Sheelack Holmes, and these are my friends,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: doctor Watson and Monsieur leviat.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Stick. I don't know we read his advertisement.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: In the Agony column of the Times today and came
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: down here at once.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Are you a relation of.
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: His I'm his niece. My name is Donas Stavisham. Come in, won't.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: You, Miss Faverisham? Suppositive?
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: Yes, doctor, Miss Sabishem.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, three revolver shots. As we were walking up the driveway.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: They gave us quite a start.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Yes, mademoiselle, we were afraid that we might have arrived
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: at the time of tragedy.
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: Tragedy. My hobby is revolver shooting. I was doing some
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: target practice in the back garden.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: You arrived shootingstag. Very interesting. I have thought of myself
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: that I'm something of a marksman myself.
• 10:55
  Speaker 11: Really, perhaps we can have a match whee down.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Your challenge intrigues me, mister vision. But before I accepted,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I should like to see mister quitter.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 11:03
  Speaker 12: Uncle George is paralyzed, you know, it's been doing this
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: time in a wheelchair.
• 11:07
  Speaker 11: I'm not at all sure he'll see you.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: At least you can ask him, can't youse fashion.
• 11:12
  Speaker 12: It is his custom at this time of the day
• 11:14
  Speaker 12: to take a little nap. Perhaps tomorrow he's still awake. Yes,
• 11:20
  Speaker 12: some men have come to see you uncle in fallow Me. Gentlemen, Uncle,
• 11:31
  Speaker 12: this is mister Shellock Holmes, doctor Watson, and miss miss
• 11:36
  Speaker 12: Livia and Messieur Livia.
• 11:40
  Speaker 13: Sherlock Holmes.
• 11:41
  Speaker 10: Eh took it long enough to decipher my message and
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: get here, didn't it? Your brother's are much faster worker,
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: isn't he?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: What makes you say that?
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: Mister Glitter received your telegram prior at eleven o'clock this morning.
• 11:51
  Speaker 13: Read it for yourself.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Well, what did you say?
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Suggest you can start my brother Sherlock and it's it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: I'm my crop homes.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, mister quote, my.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Brother is a much faster worker, or shall we say
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: that he suffers from the unfortunate habit of early rising.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: He undoubtedly read the Agony column three hours before I
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: did today.
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: I don't know about that, but I've been expecting you
• 12:13
  Speaker 10: all day. I imagine you know why I inserted that advertisement.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I had the impression that you were under some
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: form of restraint, that you were in need of a
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: rescue party.
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: As it were, rubbish.
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: My advertisement was a piece of subtle bait. The only
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: person that could decipher the message would obviously be someone
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: who knew the Baconian cipher.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: For the logical deduction, mister full Time.
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: You see, I'm convinced that any sensible man should be
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: that the so called Shakespearean plays were written by Sir
• 12:38
  Speaker 10: Francis Bacon. I see, but I felt that he needed
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: a clever man to prove the fact. I'm sure that
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: anyone who was able to decipher my message was the
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: man I needed. And what did you take, mister Holmes
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: to do the job.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: I'm a rich man. Name your fee?
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Do you mean to say that you inveigled mister Holmes
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: down here just to do some research on the origin
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: of Shakespeare's work?
• 12:57
  Speaker 12: You needn't have so, shocked, docter, But my uncle is
• 13:00
  Speaker 12: offered to pay him a handsome thing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 13: Well, what your name is?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Host?
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: An interesting subject for research? I can see that ignotious
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Donnelly and others have proved almost beyond doubt that William
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Shakespeare of Strata and Aven did not write the place.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: But I greatly doubt that Lord Bacon did. I made
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: devote my leisure in later years to some investigation on
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: the subject. But in the meanwildness, girl, and I'm afraid
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: I'm much too busy to want to take such an assignment.
• 13:23
  Speaker 13: Please it up, show the gentlemen out Dory Wight.
• 13:31
  Speaker 11: Too bad you had this long drive down here for nothing.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: General I quite agree.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: On It would seem to me that your uncle has
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: a distinct talent for political joking, mademoiselle.
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: Uncle uncle never made a joke in his life.
• 13:45
  Speaker 12: Mister Holmes, now that you're here, perhaps you like to
• 13:48
  Speaker 12: indulge a little shooting match.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Miss Faversham. But as I told your uncle,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: I'm a busy man. Good evening to you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: Goodbye, gentlemen.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: By Bohm's old follow your you're losing your touch. You'd
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: never made a blunder like this if I've still been
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: with you.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: It is comforting for an aspiring detective like myself to
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: know that the glat shot occurrence is fallible.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Then am I to assume that I must continue the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: case alone?
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Or do you mean continue the case there? There isn't one,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: because there's in no danger.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: He's in desperate danger. I'm only afraid I may be
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: too late to say it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: What we have just spoken to the men?
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Oh no, did neither of you notice the traces of
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: fresh alone on the boots of that supposedly paralyzed man. Gentlemen,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: I fear the Agony Column has led us to murder.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: a second time, enough for me to mention that any
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: meal is a better meal when it served with a
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: pattery dinner wine. If you're having chicken or fish, you
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Petrie California So Turned. Petri so Turn is a subtle,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: delicately flavored white wine that looks and tastes like captured sunshine.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: If you're having a roast or chops, or any kind
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: of meat or meat dish, then, by all means, sir,
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Petrie California Burgundy. Petri Burgundy is a hearty, full flavored
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: red wine, one of the most delicious red wines.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: You ever poured from a bottle.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: When I get a bottle of each Petri Burgundy and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Petri So Turned, then no matter what you have for dinner,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you'll surely have the right wine, a Petrie wine.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Well, doctor, why did you have to break off your
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: story there?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: I had to break it off some worms to Bauturnin
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: that seemed to be the most exciting spot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: It certainly was.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I was convinced that the great Sherlock Holmes had been
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: fooled for once.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: What happened next, well, well on eat this remark.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: We did not get into a cab and go back
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: to London. But let me pick up the story at
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the same place as I broke it off.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: As Holmes said, gentlemen, I feared the Agony column has
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: led us to murder.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Murder.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: There was fresh earth on the soles of his boots, you.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Say, distinct traces proving that the man in the wheelchair
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: was not teralyzing.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: That man, whoever he is, was impersonating Quilta to put
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: us off the track, and their ill Quiltour may have
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: been killed.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: So let's stop here from Momenta while we make our plans.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: This hedge will hide us from the house in case
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: they're watching from the windows. Now, this isn't a hard
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: picture to reconstruct. That undoubtedly is or was a paralyzed
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Baconian scholar named Kulta.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: He managed to smuggle out.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: That ingenious tree for help, but Micraft's unfortunate telegram gave
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: the game away.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: Mm hmm, I see it now.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: The people in there holding him prisoner forced him to
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: reveal what he has done.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: What they may have done to him heaven alone.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Nose one of the criminals, guessing from the telegram that
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I might.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Appear on the case, posed as the crippled culta, what's
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: our next move?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: And that singularly unattractive young ladies killed the revolver. We
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: mis search the grounds as unobtrusively as we can.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: That's the ground for what I can answer. That question
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: was shout actor. We searched for of the freshly termed
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: earth of a grave.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Well we didn't find any traces of the poor devil's cops, Thank.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Heaven, No a great disappointment.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Jeer me, you're very bloodthirsted to beyon. Hello, they all
• 17:24

• 21:19
  Speaker 5: From your resemblance to the men in the wheelchair that

• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Of the same family.
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: We're both realities of mister quilt that's right.
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: My name is Davis On from the Australian branch.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Of the Fails.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, and Douglas, who stood to inherit his estate in
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: the event of Culter's death.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: You moved in on this defenseless.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Old man, terrorized him and lived off him, and finally
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: found it necessary to destroy him.
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: You're talking absolute.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Rights, showing the truth, and you know it. I can
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: kill by your.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Expressions, no begging of the house. Both of you. Come
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: on and keep your hands raised, all right, that's it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Either way into the study and then posing as mister
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Culter is still there. We heard him call out as
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: became him.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, we might as well confront the three of them together.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: He's still seated in the chair. He seems to be asleep.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Did you find anything another trace of the missing men?
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Miss your arms there is What did you do with
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: mister Quilter.
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: I didn't do anything with him.
• 22:20
  Speaker 11: Of course not. He's sitting there at that Cha t.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: A good line to us. We know that that man's
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: an impostor.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: This is a fantastic situation.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Nobody has left this house since the telegram arrived, and
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: nobody has come to it, and get mister Quilter is spanished?
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Lord, how can you sleep through all this talk? You'd
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: think you've been drugged.
• 22:37
  Speaker 11: The figure we are idiots.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: You were unquestionably the most promising detective in France, and
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: some people have been kind enough to grant me a
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: similar status in England. And yet my old friend Watson
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: has just solved the case.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Whoa nothing too happy to well solved?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: How listen to the breathing of that man in the chair.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: He's been drugged.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: There sets the real mister Quilter, the persecuted victim who
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: sent a cipher message for help. The man we spoke
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: to earlier was you, mister Davies, impersonating Quilter. You'd received us,
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: You took up your disguise, adopted an Australian accent, and
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: then hid your drug victim by placing him in his
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: own wheelchair, knowing that would be the last place we
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: look for him, and they would have kept him here
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: until we had gone, and then murdered him with a
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: devilish plot.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Well, what have you got to save yourselves?
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: It is Jeffrey's idea, not mine. I didn't have anything
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: to do with it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: What's your journy?
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: Lie. You're in this as much as dying.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Oh this is splendid, so splendid. Please continue the argument.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: It'll make interesting evidence in court.
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: You can't take us in a court, of course, you can't.
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: Wa'ts the charge quota still alive.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: As me.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: When mister Qultter revives under doctor Watson's ministrations, you will
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: be charged, I have no doubt with attempted murder, abductions, igestration, duriss,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: and probably several other accounts. Monsieur Berre, if you will
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: find us a cab, you'll take these miscreants to Scotland Yard.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Our work is done.
