  Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson, you call this adventure with mister Holmes
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the case of the well advertised murder. But who on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: earth would want to advertise a murder?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Ah, mister Harris, the medium of advertising was not quite
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: what one might expect.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: It was nineteen oh two.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: We medical men were just breaking fresh ground on the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: problem of mental disorder. It was late afternoon at the
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: office of doctor John Kemmel. The doctor's nurse Patricia was announcing.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: The patient.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: And Missus Richard Blakey to see you, doctor. I filled
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: out a card for.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Oh do bring her in? Patricia?
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, doctor, this way please, Missus Blakeley, thank you.
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: Sit down, Missus Blakeley. That's it now what seems to
• 0:54
  Speaker 7: be disturbing you?
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: Doctor? I realized that medical ethics require the presence of
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: your but this is so confidential. Might we be alone?
• 1:03
  Speaker 7: I'm terribly sorry the nurse must have been Patricea's a
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: very understanding girl, Missus Blakeley.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Doctor Campbell and I have worked together for many years, ma'am,
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: and every conceivable type of Keith, so you needn't feel embarrassed.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Go on, Missus Blakeley, Well, I.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: Haven't an ordinary illness. I have an illness. I should
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: save the mind I DoD r I haven't got the
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: courriage to speak of this to face it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: Won't you try? I can't help you if you won't try,
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: Missus Blakeley very.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll try, and Missus Richard Blakeley notes petrician, Yes, doctor.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: My marriage to Richard was the marriage of impulse. I
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: became infatuated with him. Richard was handsome and well bred
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: and gallant. He was my luck in vark come out
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: of the West. Of course, after a few years of marriage,
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: the first ecstasy died. The inevitable erosion of time began.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: I assumed the standard pattern of the urtia, and I
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: grew bored. And then I grew to dislike Richard. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: can't bring myself to say this now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: Please try, Missus Blakely.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you can.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: I disliked Richard in a petty way. It was a
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: desire to avoid him more than anything else. He travels
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: because of business. I'd hope he'd be delayed, giving me
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: more time without him. I began killing the housewood guests
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: so that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: We shouldn't be alone.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: How did your husband react to this?
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: He became irritated. Richard is jealous and possessive. He wants
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: to be with me constantly. Then I thought of a.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Divorce, and what did you decide?
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: It to be hopeless. He never grants one betide. Even
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: if I succeeded, he'd follow me in, haunts me, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: use every device imaginable to bring me back.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: Why have you come to see a physician?
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: Well, I began reading about the new theories of that
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: doctor in Vienna, Sigmunds.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Frau ah Yes and astounding development, brilliant crossman of the
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: human psyche.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: I became obsessed with what sort of demons might be
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: lurking in my own unconscious.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: You shouldn't be alarmed, Missus Blakeley. Each of us have
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: skeletons in the closet whose rattling is sometimes terrifying.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Well, perhaps you can dismiss it, doctor, but I can't.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: I've made a horrible discovery about myself.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: What is it, Missus Lakeley?
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: I want to kill my husband.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: Really, That's why I've.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Come to you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid of going out in my mind. I've read
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: every word of Flouds. I have the symptoms. I have
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: constant headaches and pressure at the back of my head
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: and sudden palpitations of the heart. I can't sleep in
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: my hands tremble. Then I'm normally cold, and I find
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: myself exhausted suddenly for no apparent reasons.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: You haven't been exerting yourself physically.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Can I prepare for a physical examination?
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: Doctor?
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: In a moment the Tricia, Missus Blakeley, this desire to
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: murder your husband? Tell me more about it?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Can you?
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Well? In the morning, when he's having his brexless coffee,
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: I think how easily I might poison the cup. When
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: we're in the underground, I think how simple it would
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: be to push him before the train and say it
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: was an accident. I'm on the road to Insanity's oscar.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: There's no doubt of it. And always after I think
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: of murdering Richard. I have sold breathing. Breathing is difficult
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: I feel sink easy, Missus Blakeley.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Easy must be something you can do. I mustn't go
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: through with this awful thing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Hot water immediately, yes, doctor, Missus Blakeley. Have you told
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: your husband of this?
• 4:46
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: No, he'd rither cule me. I couldn't tolerate that. I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: losing my Sanity's doctor. I shall be a hideous, gibbering
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: creature tied to a bad person's coney hat or bedlam.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Misus Blakely.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: We medical men still have pitiable spears with which to
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: fight the dragon of insanity. But I shall try. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: shall do everything possible to help you.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: I've had even more ghastly thoughts, doctor Campbell. I've thought
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: killing him just once wouldn't satisfy me.
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: I've had a.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Loss to take a knife and plunge it into his
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: body over and over and over.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: You've sent missus Bakery home, doctor Campbell.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Yes, mister Holmes, I administered the bromide and told her
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: to go home and rest. I didn't want to strain
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: her any further. Today they're advisable. Indeed, she had no
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: idea you were coming to see me. Oh, no, none whatsoever.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: I'm shocked you should think I would tell her, mister Hart,
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: that the woman is infinitely ashamed of this fear that
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: possesses her.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: And immediately after you packed her off here to Baker Street.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Well, I made just one stop to see a patient
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: at uppercross the place.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I have a confession, mister Holmes.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Oh, I've come to tell you about this case as
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: fast as I could, because well, because the great psychoanalyst
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Sigmund Freud Viemma is attracting a great deal of attention.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: But we doctors are still quite help us in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: face of mental aberration. You agree, doctor Watson, unquestionably.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You see Fred has opened the door for our profession
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that we've years of research a hit.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: I thought you might advise me, mister Holmes. It's so
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: dangerous a situation there.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Doctor Campbell, and you were tall familiar with Missus Lakedith's home,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: her family, her husband.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: Perhaps, Oh no, no, this afternoon was the first time
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: I've ever seen or heard of Christine Blakeley.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: A tragic figure, that woman.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't admit it to her, but I do believe
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: she's on the verge of losing her mind.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: And of murdering her husband. You've been shockingly careless, Doctor
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: pet your things, Watton. I was only off to her
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Missus Blakey's host immediately.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Well, I wouldn't disturb it now, mister Holmes, she's so distracted.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Perhaps tomorrow we must see her. Tonight, she must get
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: a move from the house before she has further opportunities
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: for murdering Richard Brickley. A matter of fact, we've lost
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: precious time already. Where is missus Brickley's residence?
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: Doctor came across Regent's Park from James Turrett. Will fetch
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: a carriage and honey over.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: The quickest way is but Park Road past Hannah's a
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: gate right about.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: That's about them.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I'm ready homes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: Then, quickly, gentlemen, quickly, where were you this afternoon?
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: Christine?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Richard?
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: If you're going to assume that impossible role of prosecuting
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: at Tenney a gay night, how were you shopping?
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: You're lying?
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: I was shopping? How will you finish your dinner?
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: Roast?
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Tell me the truth if you don't stop tet a man?
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: Richard, Christine, I know you so well.
• 7:52
  Speaker 12: You're the cool, statuesque mistress of the household, But in
• 7:56
  Speaker 12: your heart of hearts you're a cheap, scheming, little foul mouth.
• 8:04
  Speaker 12: Does it please you to slap my face?
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Does it add to your feeling of superiority? Shoot?
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: Christine, I know what you really are.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Then why don't you do what any man with pride
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: would do and get out or let me get out?
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: No, you're going to stay here.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: You're going to go on living with me.
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: I'd never let you wander off. You're the prisoner Saint
• 8:29
  Speaker 12: James Terrace. It's humiliating and unbearable to you, and that
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: is just what I want.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: It delights me.
• 8:35
  Speaker 12: They have this tigress caged and restless in my home.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Richard. The end of this battling is so disturd. Can't
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: we stop it? We're so weak? Perhaps we should go
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: away together with some spot we knew when this first met.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Do you think so?
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 8:57
  Speaker 11: I'm never sure whether you're being.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Sincere or just play acting to amuse yourself.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Now not play acting. Oh, let's talk sensibly. I'll sit
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: back and relax and enjoy your dinner, and then we'll
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: stroll in the park and we'll talk, good sensible talk.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: All right, Christine, I'll try.
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: That's better.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Now, let me cut the first to that roast for
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: your hand of the carving knights.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Will you my turn? Holmes?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: There's Park Road and look it's blocked.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I tell Watson it's being repaired.
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: Isee the sign.
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: It's blocked.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: As far as Hanover Gate.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: You shall have to turn about, mister Holmes.
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: We'll have to take Marldon Road to your gate and
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: cross the park on the outer circle.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, doctor Campbell, turn around, drive on, make from Melbourne Road, hurry.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And cost us quite a bit of time, confounded.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: Yes, And meanwhile, Christine victis alone with her husband, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: he has the remotest notion that she needs to kill
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: him at any moment.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: There you are, Richard, I've got a very tempting piece.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Of roast for you.
• 10:16
  Speaker 12: You can be considerate, Christine, and I do appreciate the
• 10:19
  Speaker 12: rare moments when you are.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: You'll put down the carving knife, you'll cut yourself.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: I've given a great deal of thought to usk, Richard.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: Of course I've made a decision.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: You have, Christine.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: What is it? What is it?
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: Christine?
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: I can only be happy. Yes, I can only be
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: happy if if what if? You're dead?
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: You're dead?
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: I feel much satin Origin, I feel much better.
• 11:02
  Speaker 13: Now, Missus Blakeley, good lot.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: We're too late, doctor Campbell's Holmes.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Don't tell me that, Oh, Missus Blakeley, who are you?
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: I'm doctor Campbell. You must recognize me. You've visited my
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: office late this afternoon.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Apparently he's not all sense of orientation.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Missus Blakeley, you do know who I am? Do you're not.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: I've never seen you before. I've never seen any of
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: you before. I know who the gentleman is lying on
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: the floor, though as my husband. He's dead. I killed him,
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: but this knife and I is still in my hands
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: to thing his blood. That's the way I wanted it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Have you much better now?
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: I'm afraid he's gone mad, mister Holmes. I'll fetch her things.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Must canner, wrote the police immediately for her coat. It's
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: in this cupboard.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You hope the police won't detain us a long miserable creature.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: She should be turned over to a mental hospital.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: I'll come missus. Blakeley, you must come with us.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: I'll come with you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, you see, we must notify the authorities coat. What
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: are you doing to the body?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Examining it?
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Watson?
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Of your fairs?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: The police will tend to that. They tend to all
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the details.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: There's one detail that may escape them, my dear Watson,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: One amazing bloody detail.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Look, mister Barons, let's hold that detail a minute. I'd
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like to talk to you some more.
• 12:51
  Speaker 14: About Clippercraft clothes. Why say you've already sold me? But
• 12:55
  Speaker 14: did I tell you about you?
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Mean?
• 12:56
  Speaker 14: How over twelve hundred fine independent stores from coast to coast,
• 13:00
  Speaker 14: hang up their buying power.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, and combine on manufacturing and distribution so that they
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: can give values that are simply fabulous.
• 13:07
  Speaker 14: Sure, I know that's why Clippercraft top coats and overcoats
• 13:10
  Speaker 14: look so exquisit.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: But actually Clippercraft top coats and overcoats only cost forty
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to forty seven to fifty.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, I was coming to that. They're a terrific buy.
• 13:19
  Speaker 14: Zipper lining top coats and those smart Clippercraft overcoats.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: You've really got to see them to believe they're only
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: forty to forty seven to fifty.
• 13:26
  Speaker 14: That's why men who know insist on Clippercraft clothes. So
• 13:29
  Speaker 14: be sure to visit the Clippercraft store in your city.
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: add their names to Clippercraft and your suits, top coats
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: and overcoats. In Manhattan, John Wannamaker Men's Stores Broadway at
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: eighth and sixty seven Liberty Street, Sacks thirty fourth Broadway
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: at thirty fourth in Brooklyn, Abraham and Strauss in Newark,
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: New Jersey Boulevard Men's Shop Cresk in Newark, and in Jamaica,
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: the B and B Clothes Shop, one sixty four oh
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: eight Jamaica Avenue.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson, We're terribly anxious to learn what the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: astonishing detail was that mister Holmes thought might escape the police.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, of course, mister hats well. Sir Holmes, as usual,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: refused to elaborate. At that point we notified the police.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: They removed Richard Blakeley's but missus Blakeley, now clearly deranged,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: was conducted to a prison cell. There was a careful investigation.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Finally she was committed to Bedlam, that awful asylum for
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the insane and Kent. You know, I'd regard of the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: case as a simple tragedy that had moved to its
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: inevitable end, But not Holmes. He paid a visit to
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: missus Blakelay in her room at Bedward.
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: Although we've met Missus Blakeley, you won't recognize me, I
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: am mister Sherlock Holme.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, they mentioned your name to me. I don't
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: seem to recall what your profession was, mister Holmes, I
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: thankly don't recall who you are other than the name.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Mine is the profession of criminal detection. Missus Blakeley, you're
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: with the police, not at all. I function entirely upon
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: my own I have no official position, no staff, I've
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: no weapons other than my brain more than satisfactory arsenal
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I find.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: And is there something I can do for you, mister Holmes.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: I have an instious curiosity, Missus Blakeley. I wanted to
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: inquire further about your husband's death.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: Well, really, unless this is absolutely necessary, I merely wanted
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: to ask if you could recall the exact sequence of
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: events beginning with the moment when you return to your home.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: After leaving doctor Campbell's office.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Oh please, don't ask me to do that. I'll become
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: ill again. Idly asked that question.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Simply my own desire to understand every crime in which
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: I'm involved, the last minute design that the test patterned.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: I really don't remember much when I came home. All
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: sorts of thoughts flam through my mind. My visit to
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: doctor Campbell that afternoon, the fact that he was on
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: the way with you, but that I could defeat everyone
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: by killing Richard then in there. Oh please, unless it's
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: most dir did I can't reenact that awful night. I
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: just can't.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Very well, Missus Blackley. I regret disturbing you.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: I thought they were finished with me. I thought they'd
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: allow me to rest. You're like desert birds, picking ghoulishly
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: but dead. It's over and has its be forgotten?
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Had it?
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: Missus Bickley.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: I'm pleased if you drop by to my office.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes. Are you doctor Campbell?
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: As I was afraid that after the Blakeley piece had
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: ended at a quaintance might been with it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I hardly thought so, doctor, sit down, won't you thank you?
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: Is there some matter on which I may be of
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: assistance or is this just a social call?
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I do not pay social calls. Doctor.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: My time is much too valuable to be dissipated upon
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: the amenities of more conventional.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: Men than What is wrong, mister Holmes.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I've just come from a visit to missus Blakeley.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: At the hospital.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, how is she just the sane as ever?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I don't quite know what you mean.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Missus Blakeley is just the saane as ever? She never
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: was insane, doctor, that's fantastic.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: I refuse to believe it, sir.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: Missus Brickley has been presenting the world with a melodramatic
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: performance simulating insanity, a performance that proved most convincing to
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: everyone except to me.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: If you're talking nonsense, mister Holmes, I'm a physician, or
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: you must recognize my ability to judge the symptoms of
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: my patience.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Christine Blakely intended for a long time to do away
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: with her husband. The sudden popularity of doctor Freud in
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Vienna gave her just the situation she desired. What situation
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: she required, a technique for avoiding the penalties of homicide
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: so that she might be rid of her husband, so
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: that she might ultimately join the man with whom she
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: was secretly in love.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: The man with whom she was secretly in love.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Who did I neglect to mention that before doctor, you're
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: the man doctor you parted with Christine and helped her
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: to commit the murder.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: I warned Christine's time and again that you should be
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: our sole concerned mister Holmes, She insisted, though she wanted
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: her insanity well established with someone of unquestionable repute.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: So I went to you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: I've been prepared for you, though with that revolver. Oh,
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: the revolver is merely to detain.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: You, mister Holmes. I shan't kill you that way.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: You shall have a most regrettable heart attack while tay
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: me this visit. You came to consult with me about
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: chest pains, then you died.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Hmm, interesting plan.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Of course, consulting you on medical matters would be foolish.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I've looked into your background, sur and it seems you
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: have no legal right to practice. Your title of doctor
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: is pretense. You never earned it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: I've been well prepared for your accusations, mister Holmes. Look
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: in midrawer. This hypodermic contains a drug, an overdose. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: shall inject it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Into your arm.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: The needle prick is almost invisible. The injection will strain
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: your heart to the bursting pipes. Most unfortunate. Now you
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: were saying about Christine.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes, she has been conducting a clandestine affair with you.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Her late husband traveled on business. You imparted that information
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: to me yourself. While he was away, you visited.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: The Blakeley home.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: You've found evidence to that I never indulge in idle conjecture.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: Of course, I have evidence you and Christine concocted what
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: you you believed it was an ingenious idea. You would
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: establish that she was losing her mind. She would publicize
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: the murder in advance. Your nurse was most important to
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: my nurse.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Yes, you insisted she remain and hear every word of
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Missus Blakeley's She was an indispensable witness. Miss Blakeley would
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: then kill her husband, plead insanity, be committed to a
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: hospital rather than to the gallows, and within a short
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: time she'd be cured, released and would join you.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: That was the plan.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Yes, but you made your first error, doctor, when you
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: mentioned that you stopped to see a patient at Upper
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Gloucester Place that is on Park Road. You couldn't have
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: avoided noticing that road was blocked. Yet, when Watson suggested
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: we dashed to the Blakeley's fire, Park Road, you accepted
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: the suggestion. Why doctor, because you were afraid Christine wouldn't
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: have time to kill Richard before he arrived. You wanted
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the delay at the block road.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: Excellent, mister Holmes, surprising powers of observation.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: When we arrived and found Christine with a body of
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: her husband, you said you'd fetch missus things. You knew
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: where they were. You knew the clothes cupboard she used.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Although you were never supposed to have been to the
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: house before.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: I was so right in warning Christine. Now I shall
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: inject this hypodermic. If you resist, I shall be forced
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: to shoot. I'd rather not do that, Naturally.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: When I examined the bodies there, I mentioned finding an
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: amazing detail. It was the fact that Christine had killed
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: her husband with surgical precision. It's very difficult to plunge
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: a knife into someone's heart directly without the blades being
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: deflected by the ribs or the chest wall.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: But hers was masterly strokes. It required some knowledge of
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: anatomy to place the knife so neatly into the center
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: of a heart. It confirmed my previous suspicion Christine had
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: been coached by someone rather learned in such matters, by you,
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: doctor Campbell.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: By you. May I ask mister Holmes why you allowed
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: the investigation to proceed.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Because although the evidence was heavily weighted against you, I
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: do not make accusations unless I'm upon extremely firm ground.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: So I waited to visit Missus Brickley, and she provided
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: me with a final bit of information that I needed, didji, Yes,
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: you told me Missus Brickley had no idea that you'd
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: come to see me about her case. You were appalled
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: at my question, But sir, just a few minutes ago,
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: missus Brickley inadvertently mentioned that the night she killed her husband,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: she sat in the dining room thinking of the fact
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: that you were on your way with me again undeniable
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: proof that this homicide was carefully prearranged. She knew exactly
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: what you were doing.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: A superb series of deductions.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, thank you.
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: Now we shall have an unavoidable disaster, your heart attack.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Roll up your sleeve, mister Holmes, you're forcing me to
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: remind you that that this range if I pull the
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: trigger of this gunnet or blow your head off, I
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: have a needle ready. I shall roll off your sleeves.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: To Holmes, I assure you you're death from the drug
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: in this hypodermic will neither be long nor painful.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I'm quite familiar with your text. Doctor.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: Then you must know you will experience a sudden shooting, pain,
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: very short lived, and then oblivion.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Rabert pleasant way did I should.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: Say, roll up your sleeve.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: That's it. I'll raise your arms.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: Raise your arm.
• 23:31
  Speaker 15: I'll just take this needle this way, find the vein.
• 23:38
  Speaker 15: Clench your fist, mister Holmes. Yeah, yeah, now the needle soul.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Cut from yards with me.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Doctor, I'll take that gun. Dup the camel. I began
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: to believe you never step inside Watson Campbell, give your
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: gun to inspect on the strand come on, come on, ah,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I can, I'll take that gun.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: There we are.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: I took the precaution, doctor Campbell. The posting Watson and
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: restrant just outside your door. Did you overhear every word restaurant?
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Every word home?
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I'll have plenty to telement the courtroom.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: Please should be very grateful to you, are very.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: Grateful as always the stand as always.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Uh the persian slipper watched in my tight beet tobacco.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Here you are host and then quite like the arms
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: CHERI at Baker's to day. You know I was seen
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: in the newspapers that Dr Campbell missus Blakeley will go
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: on trial next week.
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: Both were premeditated.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Mud excellent, full blown trial with a loop in the offings.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: None of your gentle medical inquiries into the dark, respectives
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: of Christine Blickley's mind.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Amazing, amazing the facility with which you take a seemingly
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: clear cut case of insanity and proved that it was
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: a scientifically outlined murder by Georgie. I know there may
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: have been countless of the cases had passed unnoticed, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: that the killers now Scott free conceivable. Don't you think
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: holds er a murder that defies cold logic? It is
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: beyond understanding.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: I beg to different idea want some any murder that
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: the plies explanation just requires time for me to smoke
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: and think. The media case that's supposedly beyond human understanding
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: is simply a three pipe case match.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Please want to.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson. The well advertised murder deserved the attention
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it received. It was fascinating.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I'm delighted that you enjoyed it, mister Harris, and I
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: do believe you'll enjoy the adventure I've planned for next
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: week equally as well. It's an adventure I've called the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Island of the Dead, and it concerns the ancestor of
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: one of history's most ruthless pirates, an uncharted, uninhabited island
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: and a ship with a dead pilot at the wheel.
