• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And now here we are again on our usual visit
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to doctor Watson. He's waiting for us in his study,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a cheerful blaze crackling on the heart. And better leave
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to seal, mister Manning. Hasn't the weather been atrocious today?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I was beginning to wonder if you'd be able to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: get here tonight through all this fog. Yes, it certainly
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: is what you Londoners call a regular pea soupers. Indeed,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: it reminds me of the adventure of the missing submarine Plans,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the case it was solved in the underground, underground what
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you Americans call it a subway. Yes, but why has
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a solution in a subway got to do with the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: foggy nights?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Ma'am?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You see? The affairs started in weather exactly like this.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It was a third week in November, the year eighteen
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five to be exacted. On Monday, a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: dense yellow fog had settled down upon London. On Thursday
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it was still there, thickier and murkier than ever. At first,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Homes had turned his nervous energy to cross indexing.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: His huge reference books.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But when after pushing our breakfast chairs back for the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for the fourth morning we saw the greasy browns were
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: still drifting past the windows homes his patient's snap.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Homes.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: If you must pace around in circles, I wish you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: change directions now and then you're.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: You make him a dizzy.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: It's inexcusable. What's an inexcusable? No initiative, no imagination, nothing
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: ever gets done. If you're alluding to the inactivity in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: this last session of parliament, My dear, I'm not speaking
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of our lawmakers, Watson, but of our law breakers. A
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: London criminal is certainly a dull fellow.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: It makes you, sir.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: We'll look out of the window. I deal wellther for
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: committing a crime. The criminal advances, and his intended victim
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: practically unseen, He comes his and disappears into tinnair. There
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: have been numerous petty theft hardly pity fifth pickpockets, raggamuffins.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What's the country coming to now? If I were a criminal, Watson.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I for one would move to America.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Hello, hello, missus. Hudson is not getting excited? What's up?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I wonder, yes, very well, thank you?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Oh what's it? Sir?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Wait until I open it?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Can't you? Ah, dear, me, what next? Most unusual, Watson?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Most unusual?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: What's most unusual? Watson? What's it?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Sir? Oh, it's from my brother Micraft. You remember him.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: He helped us solve the case of the Greek interpreter.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: He's coming here?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Why not? What's so phenomenable? Why not?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Indeed, it's as startling as it would be to me
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the tramcar coming down the country lane. Yes, yes, now
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I come to think of it. Microft is rather like
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a tramcar. His rails lead from his pell Mell Lodgings
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to the Diogenes Club in Whitehall. That's his circle. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: wonder what up people can have derailed it?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Doesn't the telegram explain?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It says, uh must see you about cadaggon West coming
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: at once.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Dagon.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Why that's the young Chapel's farm. Dead in the underground
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday morning? And I remember reading about it in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the papers.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, a man that parents have.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Fallen out of would train and killed himself. He hadn't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: been robbed, and there was no reason to suspect violence.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Quite an uninteresting case, if I remember. Yet, it's serious
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: enough to cause Micraft to offer his habits.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: No, what'son this must be an extraordinary event.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And you recall any other facts about the affair. Yes,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I come to think that there was one unusual bit
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: about came out of the inquest. They were unable to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: ascertain at what point he entered the train which his
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: ticket was missing. Strange, but articles were found on the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: body two pounds fifteen.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I believe it was a checkbook.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And oh yes, yes there's two dress circle tickets for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the Woolage theater, the dated for that evening. Theater tickets Eh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't suicide. A man doesn't procure theater tickets
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: for the evening on which he intends to end his life.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Anything else?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: A small packet of technical papers.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And technical papers? What kind of technical papers?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Who knew? Any newspapers didn't.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Say as serious as that? What did the young men do?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Where was employed? It was a clerk at Woolad's, auss
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: government employ There we have it, Watson, British government, wie
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Arsenal technical papers. That's why Mycroft is involved in this affair.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I don't understand, No, I suppose not, Watson. Have I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ever told you what Mycroft is?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Your brother? Of course?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Watson, do you have to be so dense.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you know what he does? I seem
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to have some vague recollection that you once told me
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that he'd held some small office under the British government.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It would be more accurate to say, in a way
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that he is the British government. What his position is unique,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: He made it for himself. Is the tidiest and most
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: orderly brain of any man alive, with a great capacity
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: for storing facts and giving them the proper interpretation. The
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: conclusions of every government department.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Have passed on to him.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: He's the central exchange, the clearing house. Again and again
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: his word has decided the national policy. He thinks of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: nothing else, Nothing else can lure him from his contemplations.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: It he's coming here.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, Jupiter is descending on us today.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: What on earth given he can happen?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And Watson, that sounds suspiciously like a bad pun a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is if I'm not mistaken to speak for himself. Come in,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Come in, hello, my craft, what's up? What's up? You
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: look posted a knowing business sherdrock Mester knowing you know
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: how I dislike holding my head. It's extremely awkward for
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: me to come away from the office, particularly with sim
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It's presence, states, dear me, to sit down. I can't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: sit down, you know what's and of course here I'm
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: trying to find a share and I can trust the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: old man. I'm better take the sofa. If you certainly
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: hadn't got any thinner, I've never seen the Prime Minister,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Sir upset Admiralty. It's buzzing, I can upset behind. You
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: know anything about the case?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: What'sn't just been telling me what was in the newspapers?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Just what were the technical papers found on the body.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: For the love of Heaven, not so loud, Those papers
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: which sir wretched youth head in his pocket were none
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: other than the Times of the Bruce Partington Submarine, the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: submarine which would completely revolutionize nabal warfare. The most important
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: papers in our government archives. Under no circumstances going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: be removed from the office. Even the Chief Constructor of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the Navy was forced to go to Willis Off to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: consult them. And yet we find them in the pockets
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of a dead junior park in the heart of London. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: from an official point of view, it's deplorable, my dear Microft,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: simply deplorable. Human love shut up. But this country won't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: be safe until they are recovered. I thought you said
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that they were found in the pocket of this chap
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: cadug and West. Ten papers taken from Woolwich. Seven were
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: found the pockets of Cadugan West. Three are still missing,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the three essential ones. To recover those three papers is imperative.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The peace of Europe depends on nice of the problem.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It wasn't. Why did Cadugan West take the papers? How
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: did he die? How did his body reach the place
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: where it was found? And where are the missing papers?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Find the answers to those questions, Shellarck, and you will
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: have done your country an invaluable service. Why don't you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: sar it yourself? Microft I leave you good. Possibly, but
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it's a question of digging out details. Give me the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: details and I can give you the solution from an armchair.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: No, when it comes to running about and cross.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Questioning railway guards and lying on one's face with a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: lens to one's eye, no, no, that's not my metair. Besides,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: your figure prevents your taking such an andignified position. Nay,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: very well? Be that part of it was Hey Watson, good,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'd cut a cab waiting outside to take the place
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: where the body is found.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I can give you the details on the way.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, who was the official guardian of these
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: famous papers. No lesser personage than Sir James Walter, gentleman
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: who has grown gray in the service.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: His patriotism is beyond the suspicion.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And a bachelor, if I'm not mistaken, lives with his brother. Yes,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: here's the house of Admiral Sinclair mark the square. During
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the whole of the evening when this accident occured, the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Admiral vouches for him. He's one of the two who
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have the only keys to save his keep. Is with
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: him all evening right, his key the key to the building.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: The keys are room.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Who was the man with the other key? The senior Clark,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: mister Sidney Johnson, man of forty married silent morose An
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: excellent this record and the alibi, He too had his
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: key with him, seems to spend the evening playing a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: game of drafts to the green grocer around the corner
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: from his lodgings. Of course, he has only the word
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of this green grocer to back him. All come, come,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: my dear micraft. No class discriminations please. The word of
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a green grocer is often just as good as that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of an admiral. And what about kurdugg and West?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: He had a good reputation.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: He bit hot headed, with straightens least ever and posso.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: He was next to city Johnson to the office. His
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: duties brought him in the daily personal contact with the plans.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: No one else ever had the handling of them.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's perfectly clear.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He must have taken not so fast, but not so fast.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Who locked them up that night, mister Sidney Johnson?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They were a value commercially, I mean, oh yes, there's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: no doubt that West could have got several thousands for
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: them very easily. And yet only a small amount of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: money was found on the body.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Perhaps the buyer.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Took it back off feed murdered West. What puzzles me
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: is how did West obtain possession of those papers. To
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: do so, he must have had a false key, several
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: false keys, shirlark. He had opened the building and the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: room as well. Oh well, well, well, several false keys.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Then let me see, let me see. I suppose Wes
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: did take the papers and went into town and on
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the way back to wood Edge, where he is hoping
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to replace the papers he's killed and thrown from the train.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: But the spot where the body was.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Found is considerably past the station for London Bridge, which
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: is the rip to willw It's interesting also, if young
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: West did make an appointment for some foreign agent to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: sell the papers that night, why didn't he keep the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: evening clear? Why buy two Tiller tickets exactly? Furthermore, he
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: actually escorted his fiance halfway there before.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: He disappeared blind. That's what it looks like to me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Why did he take the papers at all? Why not
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: copy them out in the office and sell the copies?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He certainly had plenty of opportunities to do so. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: why the absence of his underground ticket? And that's the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: ticket will have shown us which station was near the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: agent's house.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So the murderer destroyed it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Good Watson, very good? Yet I wonder, well, here's the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: underground station. The railway authorities have sent a man around
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to show the exact place where the body was found.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You won't change your mind and come with us.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: We're crawling around that black hole on my hands and knees.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Not very likely. Well, I shall expect to report on
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: your refics.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I never expect too much microft, never expect too much.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Before we follow Holmes and Watson into the mazes of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the London subway system. I have a word of advice.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Every year colds cause a lot of sickness every year.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: They cause a lot of expense and time lost from work.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Always regard a cold seriously, Always treat it earnestly. At
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the first sign of a cold, take Groves bromo quinine tablets.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Romo Quinine tablets are famous relief for the distress of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a cold. Their efficacy has been fully established. Romo Quinine
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: tablets go right to work on a cold symptom. They
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: don't waste any time, they don't pull any punches. They
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: quickly relieve the misery.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Of a cold.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: They help reduce the fever of a cold. Thousands of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: people keep promo quinine tablets handy all winter. Thousands of
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: people depend on them as their relief for colds. No
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: other preparation enjoys greater confidence than bromo quinine tablets. Follow
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the example of Missions, and at the first sign of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a cold, take Groves bromo quinine tablets. Get them at
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: any drug store a few cents a box. Ask specifically
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for Groves g R O v E S Bromo d
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: r O m o quinine q u I M I
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: n E Groves Bromo quinine tablets. This is why I said,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: step right along the tracks if it isn't safe, supposing
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the trains should come shooting around that curve. Oh that's all, Roger,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: there won't be another for five minutes. Anyway, Here we
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: are say, this is where they found the body, right here,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: alongside the rails, lying on its face. It was spooky
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: playse their homes. I could catacombs only without the skeletons.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Anything in his hands when they found him luser, but
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they clinched what spread out as if he were protecting him. Now,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: so there was what you might call relax by the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: times it all has happened.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So the trainee was oisted out of as near as
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we can figure, passed along a yet about midnight on Mandals.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: All the carriages have been examined for signs of violence.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I suppose it didn't find that, not even the missing ticket.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: There was a passenger to all Gate on the ordinary
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: train about eleven forty. It was he said he heard
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: heavy dad bark, something strike in the line just before
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the train reached this station. But it was so foggy,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he said he was best if he could see what
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: it was. Homes, what's the matter? Were you steering at
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the curb? Watson? Whatever of the rails?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: What do you what do you mean?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I suppose that not many curves as abrupt as this
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and now so I can't.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Say, as there is, what have curves got to do
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: in this?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: An indication? What's a million indication? Hmm? Unique, perfectly unique
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and yep, why not. I don't see any indications of
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: bleeding on the line now, so there wasn't any to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: speak of us. But I understand there was a considerable wound.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The bone was crashed right and as Holmes, that is
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the train it's coming as well. Runds be also were up.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: He did a placement to try and switches on what
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to run. It's just a round the curve. Well we
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: don't have a pasage, which yes, we run faster, faster.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: There's the switch up.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Head, come on, he comes, Tay. Now, we'll make it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We'll make it a justin watch them from a love
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of heaven.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: You're on the wrong track.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Well that was an iriscape home I must say, my
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: knees is so shaking. Look at the shoulder my coat
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: where you pulled me like a think for you that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Where are we off to now? And then this fog?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's a nice afternoon. Supposed to pay a few calls,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I think, Sir James Water claims our first attention. After
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that we might drop in on miss Westbridge whisper. She
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: is a dug in West's fiance and the last person
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to see him alive.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Ohs, we seem to be going around in circles.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: We've accomplished absolutely nothing so far except to get to her,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to get ourselves nearly a knowledge in the underground after
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: all us.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Perfectly of this.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: The young man had a quarrel with someone, or probably
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to the agent to whom he sell the papers, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: got himself.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Thrown out of the rail with the carriage for his paying.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I disagree with you, Myia, Watson. His body fell from

  Speaker 1: the roof of the carriage where it had been placed.

  Speaker 1: on the line because the body had bled elsewhere. Everything

• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Now you're not going to be jealous of a building, well.

• 17:05
  Speaker 4: husband having secrets you can't tell his wife.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Mighty important secrets. I can promise you there's one in
• 17:09

  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: They're awfully slack about some things over there in that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: building ballot what's too slack? It would be too confouned
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and easy for a trader to get his hands on
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: those plans?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: What planned?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Never mind, darling, I guess I'm getting a bit melodramatic,

  Speaker 4: much to him.

  Speaker 1: You shall do our best, Miss Westbury. This then, this

  Speaker 1: I'd let him see the plan so you took an
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: impression of your brother's key, opened the safe and procured

  Speaker 1: you here, and you kill him.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't do that.
• 22:51

  Speaker 1: I got the papers, as you've discovered it, made my
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: way through the fog until I reached the door. Once
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: or twice I fancied I was being followed. I could

  Speaker 1: hear footsteps on the paperent behind me.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Colonel Lauder, Yes, you have the papers.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, let me in quick. I think someone's been following me.

  Speaker 1: It's me. You can't do this, Valentine, it's treason. No,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you can't sell the papers, Valentine, I won't let you check.

  Speaker 3: My impetua chan coup Overstein. He knows how to use
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: a black jacket.

  Speaker 1: You don't killed him, so it's murder. I'm going to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: get out.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Of this, I think difference.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: You will come in here if you do not wish
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to taste the black jack tool.

• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I take the ones I want under rest he put
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: in the pocket of this foolish young man.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: On then we get him a nice ride on top
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: of the underground train.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: No, he will be the guilty one who will ever know.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: While a thoroughly unpleasant gentleman. While a pity that he
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: got away with the papers doctor, however, and he didn't.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Abustein had left a palace forwarding addressed with Colonel Walters.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: That gentleman sent him a letter dictated by Holmes, saying
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: that he had discovered that one essential detail in the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: plans was missing, and that he had procured a tracing
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: which would make it complete for a price. And did
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Abustine swallow the bait?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Did he swallow it?
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: He was arrested as he got off the boat at Folks.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Some weeks later I learned incidental that Homes had spent
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a day at Windsor Castle and return with a remarkably
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: fine Emerald Taypi. When I asked him when he got it,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: He answered, it was just a small present from a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: certain gracious, little old lady for whom he'd been able
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to do a small favor. Yes, and I think I
