Speaker 1: And now let's visit our old friend and host, doctor
0:03
Speaker 1: wattson good evening. Get anything, doctor, settle yourself down and
0:07
Speaker 1: get your pipe going. Thanks doctor. Last week you told
0:11
Speaker 1: us at tonight's story took place in the caspar at Algiers.
0:14
Speaker 2: Yes, the Caresbar.
0:16
Speaker 3: I remember it as the place of countess streets, winding
0:19
Speaker 3: up and down past colorful cafes, where a hundred tongues
0:22
Speaker 3: were spoken, and often the street would end in shadowy
0:25
Speaker 3: darkness which a man would be foolhardy to enter alone. Yes,
0:30
Speaker 3: mister Bartell, that was the casper that Sherlock Holmes and
0:33
Speaker 3: I knew in that winter of ninety nine.
0:35
Speaker 2: How did you happen to be out there?
0:36
Speaker 1: Doctor?
0:37
Speaker 2: Where'd you mind?
0:38
Speaker 3: If I tell you the story from the start, mister Buttle,
0:41
Speaker 3: if you'd have begun on a winter night in Baker Street.
0:43
Speaker 3: It's a conclusion of a strange murder in Montrevor Castle.
0:48
Speaker 3: A charming young girl sat on the sofa of our
0:50
Speaker 3: lodgings in Baker Street, and.
0:55
Speaker 4: You can't feel have nothing more to do with another field.
0:58
Speaker 1: I found the true murderer. The other data counties committed suicide.
1:02
Speaker 1: Surely the cases ended.
1:03
Speaker 2: Yes, mister whoms.
1:04
Speaker 4: You found the real murderer, But now I want you
1:06
Speaker 4: to find the unfortunate young man who fleding them five
1:08
Speaker 4: years ago when he was suspected of a crime.
1:10
Speaker 2: He was a new development with Sterettfield. Please tell us
1:13
Speaker 2: about it.
1:14
Speaker 4: It's Douglas Milton that I'm talking about.
1:15
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, he was the heir of the title,
1:17
Speaker 1: wasn't he, Yes, mister Holmes.
1:19
Speaker 4: He was a sensitive artistic boy, and when he knew
1:22
Speaker 4: that he was under suspicion, he ran away. Of course,
1:25
Speaker 4: everyone regarded his flight as an admission of guilt, that
1:28
Speaker 4: is until you found real culprit, mister Helms.
1:30
Speaker 3: I imagine, mis Steretfield, that your interest in the missing
1:32
Speaker 3: boy is not entirely shall we say, altruistic.
1:36
Speaker 4: I'm in love with him, doctor Watson. We were engaged
1:38
Speaker 4: to be married when he ran away. Mister Huns, You've
1:41
Speaker 4: got to find him. He must know that his name
1:43
Speaker 4: has been cleared him, that he's inherited the.
1:45
Speaker 1: Title the Strettfield. Have you any direct news, any letter
1:47
Speaker 1: from your fiance since he left five years ago? None
1:51
Speaker 1: any plud his hiding place. Only this.
1:54
Speaker 4: It's a painting I received anonymously a year after he
1:56
Speaker 4: had left. It was sent from a forwarding address in London.
2:00
Speaker 4: Why it is, mister Holmes, thank.
2:01
Speaker 2: You small oil painting, very good one too, sh.
2:05
Speaker 1: Yes, the spented sense of composition and his use of
2:08
Speaker 1: color is unusually brilliant. You recognize this painting is the
2:12
Speaker 1: work of your fiance, Miss Stretfield, I'm certain of it. Yes,
2:15
Speaker 1: wonderful color. Serve the delicate shadings of that sunset, the
2:20
Speaker 1: brilliant green of the oasis. The scene is extraordinarily reminiscent
2:24
Speaker 1: the desert in North Africa.
2:26
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, that's what made me say.
2:27
Speaker 3: I was certainly he'd gone abroad, mister Holmes, Why should
2:29
Speaker 3: he go to North Africa?
2:30
Speaker 2: A good place?
2:31
Speaker 1: Watson turn English, who imagines himself to be escaping justice?
2:34
Speaker 1: Remember the Foreign Legion as stationed there.
2:36
Speaker 4: You think he might have joined the legion, mister Holmes, would.
2:39
Speaker 1: Seemed logical, no questions to ask to those who join it,
2:42
Speaker 1: and its colorful obscurity might easily appeal to a young
2:44
Speaker 1: fellow in trouble.
2:44
Speaker 2: Hello, what is it home?
2:47
Speaker 1: Quite a few grains of sand between the canvas and
2:48
Speaker 1: the frame Here to Stretfield, you might if I fried
2:51
Speaker 1: the canvas loose.
2:51
Speaker 4: Do anything you like, mister Holmes. If it gives you
2:53
Speaker 4: any clue that Douglas is where about, give me a
2:55
Speaker 4: penknife if he wasn't.
2:57
Speaker 1: Thanks, O chap u h here we are.
3:04
Speaker 2: Can you see anything?
3:06
Speaker 5: Ah?
3:07
Speaker 1: Look the words and elaft Pune a stamped here Sheriff
3:14
Speaker 1: is probably the famous name. And a Latun is the
3:16
Speaker 1: town some fifty miles from Alieu that settles it. The Stratfielder.
3:19
Speaker 1: Accept your case, Watson, and I will go to Africa
3:22
Speaker 1: and try to find your fiance Douglas Milton, missus Sheila
3:36
Speaker 1: call send doctor Wattson. I have heard of you so often,
3:39
Speaker 1: but I never thought I should see you here at
3:41
Speaker 1: the headquarters something foreign legion. What can I do for you, gentlemen? Well,
3:45
Speaker 1: conone le Prisson. I'm trying to trace an Englishman who
3:48
Speaker 1: has been missing during the past four years. I have
3:51
Speaker 1: reason to believe that he might have joined the legion. Eh.
3:54
Speaker 1: I should look in my records. Let me see four
3:57
Speaker 1: years ago with the eighteen ninety five. If Sheela cons
4:01
Speaker 1: is tracking him, then I suppose he was in trouble
4:03
Speaker 1: in his own country. He was in trouble, he might
4:05
Speaker 1: easily have come to us. We ask no questions ninety
4:10
Speaker 1: seven minutes ninety five. In that year, three young Englishmen
4:14
Speaker 1: joined us. One of them died of dissenter two years ago.
4:17
Speaker 1: And see the Raji. One of them deserted eighty months ago,
4:20
Speaker 1: and we have been unable to praise him. He turned
4:23
Speaker 1: his magian who brought you into my officers now? And
4:25
Speaker 1: he is I would say, about three inches shorter than
4:28
Speaker 1: Douglas Wilson. And men do not shrink the part legilay, Colonel,
4:32
Speaker 1: they do not miss yourms.
4:33
Speaker 2: And the fellow who deserted must be our.
4:35
Speaker 1: Man, unless it's the one who died of dissenterin Colonel
4:38
Speaker 1: to Briston, how would you advise us to set about
4:40
Speaker 1: trying to find a deserter? Miss Holmes? There's only one
4:44
Speaker 1: place in Algeria where a man can hide from the
4:46
Speaker 1: foreign legion and remaining. What's that place? The Caspi in Algiers,
4:51
Speaker 1: and that's our destination. Watsn't be very careful, please, gentlemen.
4:55
Speaker 1: The Casba is a place where the law is exiled.
4:57
Speaker 1: The police have no jurisdiction there. Only rule is that
5:01
Speaker 1: of strength violence, and Frank, we're very cautious. I'll show
5:04
Speaker 1: you good by Count le Brisson, and thank you for
5:07
Speaker 1: your help.
5:26
Speaker 3: I must say that I think Colonel the Bristol rad
5:28
Speaker 3: have exaggerated.
5:29
Speaker 2: The dangers of the caspar.
5:32
Speaker 3: I suppose you're going to tell me this cafe is
5:33
Speaker 3: the headquarters.
5:34
Speaker 2: For the dope smuggling ring, or like slaving or something.
5:37
Speaker 1: It's ramifications even more extensive than those you've mentioned. You're
5:41
Speaker 1: joking home, I assure you I'm not old fellow. My
5:44
Speaker 1: old friend Juemmel is cheap of police sojers. When I
5:48
Speaker 1: told him, I missioning advised me to come here a
5:50
Speaker 1: five hundred franc note, and the proprietor can obtain any
5:53
Speaker 1: and all information regarding the underworld, but as little as
5:56
Speaker 1: two hundred francs in original murder. So that keeps you
5:59
Speaker 1: an idea of the relative values the kastar.
6:02
Speaker 2: Good lord, then you've already spoken to the propeller.
6:04
Speaker 1: Yes, we has a charming scound the fellow of the
6:06
Speaker 1: name of Ruffi. I gave him five hundred francs and
6:09
Speaker 1: asked him to set his underworld grape fine in motion
6:11
Speaker 1: to see whether an Englishman living and hiding here in
6:14
Speaker 1: the kasbar could be found. And I thought we'd come
6:17
Speaker 1: over fat meal I'm rappy. Now if he has numerous,
6:22
Speaker 1: they are rappy. Come to damn Joe.
6:25
Speaker 2: Raffy works fast?
6:26
Speaker 1: Does he enough? Mister Holmes, your friend, my friend knows
6:30
Speaker 1: that you're working with me.
6:32
Speaker 6: Will be drink first? The tongue of Raffie is part.
6:36
Speaker 6: Would you have me die of thirst before I give
6:39
Speaker 6: you my news?
6:40
Speaker 2: Verymure cassis, You.
6:44
Speaker 1: Have news for me? Then?
6:45
Speaker 2: But yes?
6:46
Speaker 1: Good? What is it?
6:47
Speaker 2: First? You will pay me more money?
6:48
Speaker 6: No?
6:48
Speaker 1: No, but I gave you five hundred francs. You said
6:52
Speaker 1: that you do the job for that.
6:53
Speaker 7: Can I help it?
6:54
Speaker 2: If some tongues are more costly to make wag than others.
6:58
Speaker 6: It took the five hundred to get the wag. Am
7:01
Speaker 6: I to have nothing for my own trouble?
7:04
Speaker 2: Ruppy?
7:05
Speaker 6: Good?
7:05
Speaker 1: Good?
7:06
Speaker 2: The gentleman will payer you are missy. I will drink
7:11
Speaker 2: to your health.
7:11
Speaker 6: Gentlemen, both of you.
7:17
Speaker 2: You will pay me more money? No, my friend's already
7:20
Speaker 2: given you five hundred. You should stick to your bar
7:22
Speaker 2: in my good fellow.
7:23
Speaker 6: My information is a bargain at seven hundred and fifty francs.
7:27
Speaker 6: It would be a bar at one thousand. But Raffie
7:30
Speaker 6: will let you have it for seven hundred and fifty.
7:33
Speaker 6: Because he likes you, you will give it to me. No,
7:38
Speaker 6: then you get no information, And perhaps I spread news
7:43
Speaker 6: in the Cosba that makes it uncomfortable for you gentlemen
7:46
Speaker 6: to be there.
7:47
Speaker 2: Scott, this is blackmail. I get the money.
7:50
Speaker 1: No, you're a scandal ruppy. Of course, I'm as card information.
7:58
Speaker 1: There isn't an Englishman hiding here in the Kasba. I
8:02
Speaker 1: do not know his name, but he's dull.
8:04
Speaker 2: And fair haired. I cannot tell you where he lives.
8:08
Speaker 6: But if you go to the cafe of one thousand size,
8:11
Speaker 6: you will find a girl who sings.
8:13
Speaker 2: There, a girl who sings like a nightingale.
8:17
Speaker 1: Her name is Ayisha, and she can lead you to
8:21
Speaker 1: your Englishman girl named Aisha the cafe of a thousand size.
8:26
Speaker 2: That is right.
8:27
Speaker 6: I would suggest that you go there in disguise. Two
8:30
Speaker 6: well dressed englishmen might find themselves in trouble. For a
8:35
Speaker 6: small fee, say two hundred francs, I will escort your eyes.
8:39
Speaker 1: Say thank you, yes, I think we can manage ourselves
8:41
Speaker 1: with it.
8:42
Speaker 6: Oh well, if your business is concluded quickly and time
8:46
Speaker 6: weighs heavy on your hands, RAPHI can take you to
8:50
Speaker 6: some places of ver interest dancing girls that wither one's
8:55
Speaker 6: eyeballs with her beauty for five hundred francs.
8:59
Speaker 1: Gentlemen, thank you, thank you. I have a feeling that
9:01
Speaker 1: I will not way heavily on our hands. Good night.
9:04
Speaker 6: You work too hard, gentlemen, usual little how to play
9:09
Speaker 6: good night on my soul.
9:12
Speaker 2: I think that follows the biggest plagard I have met.
9:15
Speaker 1: I quite agree Old Japan he is amusing by the
9:17
Speaker 1: way homes it.
9:19
Speaker 3: Don't you think that when this case has finished we
9:21
Speaker 3: might have a time on our hand.
9:23
Speaker 1: Oh Watson, you're incorrigible, but I think what's what is it?
9:29
Speaker 1: The man sitting over in the corner by himself, h Joe, Yes, his.
9:33
Speaker 2: Face seems familiar. You've seen him before somewhere, of.
9:36
Speaker 1: Course we have. His name is Oliver Leming. We met
9:39
Speaker 1: him at the inquest on him in trailer case, so
9:42
Speaker 1: we did.
9:43
Speaker 2: I want knows you suppose he's doing here in the Castler.
9:46
Speaker 1: Not on a holiday. I'm sure it's to Oliver Leaming,
9:48
Speaker 1: if you recall it, a cousin that Douglas Milton's a
9:51
Speaker 1: man man we are searching for. If Milton were ever
9:54
Speaker 1: declared legally dead, mister leaving over there would inherit.
9:57
Speaker 3: The title looks to muse if we're not the only
9:59
Speaker 3: people the casper searching for the missing air.
10:02
Speaker 1: That's true, fellow, come on, let's go and talk to
10:04

10:25
Speaker 1: Seem to be in such deep conversational that's kandal, Ralphie.
10:28
Speaker 1: I didn't like to disturb you, and I considered of you.
10:30
Speaker 1: I'm sure, why are you here a swimming ball? I'm
10:33
Speaker 1: making a business trip. This is my day, or as

10:38
Speaker 2: Correct?
10:38
Speaker 1: What a memory you would here? It seems peculiar that

Speaker 1: Or are you searching for kasmap and new authors? Why not?
10:49

10:55
Speaker 1: purpose of trying to find your cousin, Douglas Milton. Still, Holmes,
10:58
Speaker 1: you've discovered my secret. The great Sherlock holes in his
11:01
Speaker 1: watchdog have their eight eyes on me. They know that
11:05
Speaker 1: I succeed to the title if Douglas Milton died. Yes,
11:07
Speaker 1: mister leaving me know that fact. And you were fathomed
11:10
Speaker 1: by plan to find Douglas before me and kill him
11:14
Speaker 1: so that I may inherit the title. How lucky I
11:18
Speaker 1: am to meet you in or Kasbar. Well you cannot
11:20
Speaker 1: arrest me. Well sis against time, gentlemen, but I have
11:24
Speaker 1: a head start, as you will soon find out.
11:27
Speaker 2: Goodbye, I'm the best of luck to you. I've strawn
11:31
Speaker 2: the follow He's joking, of course.
11:33
Speaker 1: I believe not Watson. I think he labors under the
11:35
Speaker 1: physical belief that the best method of discounting the truth
11:37
Speaker 1: is to stated is boldly, so that they will not
11:40
Speaker 1: be believed.
11:41
Speaker 2: Great Captain, we must work fast, yes.
11:43
Speaker 1: O jep we must. I'm sure that we're entrants in
11:46
Speaker 1: a race against death. We must get back to the

Speaker 1: hotel Lintba disguises as quickly as possible Afterbeth, which will
11:51

11:56
Speaker 1: be the first time two men have ever entered the
11:58
Speaker 1: kasbar for the extra press purpose are preventing a murder.
12:11
Speaker 1: We'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
12:13
Speaker 1: about a second, which gives me time to remind you
12:16
Speaker 1: that if you like the flavor a big, plump, juicy
12:19
Speaker 1: muscat grapes, you'll love the flavor of Petrie California muscatel.
12:24
Speaker 1: What a wine. Petrie muscatel is the perfect after dinner wine.
12:29
Speaker 1: It looks good, smells better than it looks when it
12:32
Speaker 1: comes to the taste department. Will you never tasted anything
12:34
Speaker 1: like it? For a really good wine? Remember first Petree,
12:39
Speaker 1: then Muscatel, Petree Muscatel. Well, Doctor, I can hardly wait
12:45
Speaker 1: to hear what happened next. You and Sherlock Holmes went
12:48
Speaker 1: back to the hotel.

Speaker 1: Probably gentlemen?
16:39
Speaker 2: I think he gossip ported.
16:42
Speaker 1: Yes, it would be the most appropriated testing the new
16:45
Speaker 1: Montreda splendid, splendid Aisha. Bring glasses and a bottle of
16:48
Speaker 1: port and some Kremd Mars for me.
16:50
Speaker 2: You are not going to England. I will never let
16:52
Speaker 2: you leave.
16:53
Speaker 1: Me stopping some melodramatic ayesha. Please bring two bottles and
16:56
Speaker 1: some glasses. Very well.
16:58
Speaker 2: I am sorry the homes.
17:01
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how I appreciate your trouble in
17:03
Speaker 1: coming all this way to find me, and I must
17:05
Speaker 1: tell you at once. There's one problem that makes it
17:08
Speaker 1: difficult for me to do this country. You see, I
17:11
Speaker 1: deserted from foreign Legionius it says we know that, my boy.
17:13
Speaker 2: In fact, that's how we first got onto your trail.
17:16
Speaker 1: I shouldn't let that back, Willy and miss Milton. I'm
17:17
Speaker 1: certain the British consul and now Jairs can arrange to
17:20
Speaker 1: have any charges dropped against a piod of the realm
17:22
Speaker 1: oh I thought of that.
17:25
Speaker 2: Here are the bottles.
17:26
Speaker 1: You must excuse the glasses, gentlemen. Tumbler is are hardly coocked.
17:29
Speaker 1: I suppose that, well, they won't spoil the flavor. I'm
17:32
Speaker 1: sure two glasses apart and crammed amount for me only
17:39
Speaker 1: three glasses. Are you sure bring a glass for yourself?
17:41
Speaker 1: I do not wish to drink, and I insist that
17:44
Speaker 1: you do bring a glass? Are yousuer? Why should I drink?
17:47
Speaker 1: If you are leaving to Milton? Do you know all
17:50
Speaker 1: about leaving? Of course is my cousin, as he came
17:54
Speaker 1: here half an hour ago and threatened me.
17:56
Speaker 2: Did you also know that he's lying dead in the
17:58
Speaker 2: street murdered?
18:00
Speaker 1: Well, yes, yes I did. If we went in the
18:04
Speaker 1: cars and I wouldn't tell you this, but Aisha stabbed him.
18:07
Speaker 1: She followed him when he left here, killed it, and
18:09
Speaker 1: then slipped back just in time to sing a song
18:12
Speaker 1: a few moments ago. Oh you needn't look so shocked,
18:15
Speaker 1: doctor Watson. Life is cheap in the cosper, and Naish's
18:18
Speaker 1: a girl of violent passions. Come on, let's drink. Atturns
18:21
Speaker 1: to the new Earl of Montrabacat. Oh they excuse me, sir,
18:26
Speaker 1: you took the wrong glass. You drinking my foot a
18:29
Speaker 1: silly mistake. I can't bear pot very English of me,
18:32
Speaker 1: I'm afraid. But well, after all these years, I don't
18:35
Speaker 1: feel particularly English. In fact, I'll probably find it very
18:38
Speaker 1: hard to adjust myself to the old life when I
18:40
Speaker 1: go back, Or perhaps I should say, if I go
18:43
Speaker 1: back and to feel that way about it, mister Milton,
18:46
Speaker 1: why go? You can take the title on the revenues
18:49
Speaker 1: of the estate without leaving Algeria would stay here and
18:52
Speaker 1: live on the income. I didn't realize that would be possible.
18:55
Speaker 1: You sure I could do that? Oh yes, I'm quite
18:57
Speaker 1: certain of it. But if you doubt my word, I
18:59
Speaker 1: suggest be all a journed to the British Consulate, and now, jeers,
19:02
Speaker 1: they can put you straight on another that's a good idea.
19:04
Speaker 1: Let's go over there at once.
19:06
Speaker 2: No, I've been listening to you, my friend. You are
19:08
Speaker 2: planning to leave me.
19:09
Speaker 1: Once you go from the cause by I shall never
19:11
Speaker 1: see you again. Put down that knife, by issue, I.
19:13
Speaker 8: Will not let you go.
19:15
Speaker 6: You will belong to me.
19:16
Speaker 2: If you try to leave me now, I will kill you.
19:18
Speaker 1: Down that knife, by issue. You've done enough damage for
19:20
Speaker 1: one night. By down, she twisted the knife on herself
19:29
Speaker 1: as she fell.
19:30
Speaker 2: Holmes up and tell her over she's dead. Mister Milton,
19:35
Speaker 2: poor are issue.
19:37
Speaker 1: It's the bloody path that leads to the mont Trevor title. Sir,
19:40
Speaker 1: I suggest to see that the poor girl's buddy is
19:42
Speaker 1: taken care of, and then go to the British Consulate
19:45
Speaker 1: without any further delay.
19:49
Speaker 9: Now that we are at the consulates, Milton, I suggest
20:01
Speaker 9: that you swear on oath that you are.
20:02
Speaker 1: Douglas Milton, heir to the Montrevorer's state. This gentleman is
20:06
Speaker 1: a commissioner of oaths. Then we can go in and
20:08
Speaker 1: see the console very well. Now rise the right hand
20:11
Speaker 1: piece and repeat after me. I here I solemnly swear
20:15
Speaker 1: that I am Douglas Milton, the missing Here to the
20:18
Speaker 1: montreevoy state. I hear, I swear that I am Douglas Milton,
20:21
Speaker 1: missing heir to the Montrevoral State. Thank you, sir, And
20:24
Speaker 1: now if you'll sign the statement here these gentlemen can
20:26
Speaker 1: witnesses there you are.
20:30
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
20:31
Speaker 1: And now if you gentlemen will sign a certain Thank you, gentlemen,
20:40
Speaker 1: the document is now legal splendid. Let's go over and
20:44
Speaker 1: see the console. Not yet, my friend Watson, this man
20:49
Speaker 1: is not Douglas Milton. What the devil are you talking about?
20:51
Speaker 1: There is no law on the CASBA, sir, so you
20:54
Speaker 1: cannot be punished with the two murders you committed there.
20:56
Speaker 1: But now that your avarice has tempted you here to Algiers,
21:00
Speaker 1: where you've been foolish enough to sign a false statement,
21:02
Speaker 1: I think we can at least settle you very nicely
21:04
Speaker 1: for desertion, false impersonation, forchery and perjury home. What do
21:09
Speaker 1: you mean the story should be our bus book, fellow
21:12
Speaker 1: Alpha Leming did track down the deserter. Recognition was uncertain
21:16
Speaker 1: after so many years, but at least it gave this
21:18
Speaker 1: gentleman the idea of impersonating the real Douglas Milton, a
21:22
Speaker 1: friend of his and you have a lively imaginations to homes.
21:24
Speaker 1: Real Douglas Milton, I'd have dysentery two years ago. In
21:28
Speaker 1: ceed their life was the idea of impersonating Milton was born,
21:32
Speaker 1: Leaming had to die. Your theories are very interesting, but
21:35
Speaker 1: you haven't a shred a proof. I say that I
21:37
Speaker 1: am Douglas Milton. How are you going to providtherwise? That
21:39
Speaker 1: is simply my dear sir, Douglas Miulton was a painter,
21:42
Speaker 1: a painter who excelled in the use of vivid colors. You, sir,
21:46
Speaker 1: suffered on the quite common malady of a red green
21:49
Speaker 1: color blindness. Less than an hour ago. You mistook a
21:51
Speaker 1: glass of port, which is red, but a glass of
21:54
Speaker 1: crime DeMont, which is green. I knew at once that
21:57
Speaker 1: you were an impostor, your clarer than I thought you were.
21:59
Speaker 1: Homes goodbye, here come back. No, no, Watson, don't go
22:03
Speaker 1: after him, but we can't let him escape.
22:05
Speaker 6: Homes.
22:05
Speaker 1: Don't worry, Old Chap, he won't escape. I sent a
22:08
Speaker 1: message to Colonel the bron If you go to the window,
22:11
Speaker 1: I think you will find that the Consulate is being watched.
22:14
Speaker 1: The Legion has a long memory for desertion. I don't
22:17
Speaker 1: think he'll get very fast.
22:22
Speaker 3: They got him home, shot him as he was trying
22:24
Speaker 3: to run away.
22:25
Speaker 1: I just death for him. Lived the life of violence
22:27
Speaker 1: and treachery Watson, it's only fitting that he should die
22:30
Speaker 1: in the same manner
